[00:01] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, thats after I do all the mounts right?
[00:01] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: yup
[00:01] <TJ-> DF3D2: I'd be strongly tempted to put the path of the change chroot in a variable, and use the variable
[00:01] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: umount: /media/E47CDFA27CDF6DB4: device is busy.         (In some cases useful info about processes that use          the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
[00:01] <DF3D2> TJ-, i'm not an  advanced scripter :-D
[00:01] <sh0t> hi guys can please someone help me with all this thing UEFI/Secureboot wINDOWS 8 and Ubuntu? I have installed disabling secureboot ubuntu on a partition next to Windows 8. Now I need to make it boot so I restarted a live usb ubuntu and from there i am running boot-repair which gets stuck on the initial phase when it says: Scanning systems(os-prober)....
[00:02] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: do you have any instances of nautilus open?
[00:03] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  nautilus. i have no idea what that is. i did not open any programs on this laptop, it is only running the LiveCD to install, so only Terminal and Firefox are open (knowingly)
[00:03] <DF3D2> am I basically stuck doing this method since I copied all the files from one ubuntu install and used chroot etc to fix it so it will boot? I now want to dd an image of the bootable usb stick and then clone that to several other sticks. But I will face incorrect UUID's if I don't do this chroot method every time right ?
 try with ubuntu boot repair live cd
[00:04] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: this is how i install OS's https://github.com/hitsuji/steamos/blob/master/install.sh :P
[00:04] <sh0t> antifa, you mean that the problem could be the fact that I am trying from a live USB and not from a live CD?
[00:04] <Fevix> Hello, I'm trying to dd a .iso on my desktop onto a usb stick. What's the path to the desktop for use in commands?
[00:04] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I surely don't need anything that complicated
[00:04] <DF3D2> lol
[00:05] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  where are we?
[00:05] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: nautilus is the file manager. in the all terminals run: cd ~
[00:06] <Fevix> I've tried /home/<username>/desktop/filename.iso, I've tried /desktop/filename.iso, I've made absolute certain the filename is spelled right
[00:06] <Pici> Fevix: typically the desktop folder is Desktop, not desktop.
[00:06] <hitsujiTMO> Fevix: its Desktop not desktop
[00:06] <bprompt> Fevix:    you  mean you dunno where the .iso is?
[00:06] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  i had earlier looked at the drives on the windows side, so i guess that would explain that
[00:06] <Fevix> hitsujiTMO: I just tried that, still errors.
[00:07] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: try this again: sudo umount /dev/sda{1,2,3,4}
[00:07] <Fevix> bprompt: I know exactly where the file is, it's sitting right on my desktop. I just don't know the path.
 no ubuntu has a live cd tool for this kind of things https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair hope this helps
[00:08] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  ok ran cd ~
[00:08] <sonofrustuptwist> no error messages
[00:08] <TJ-> DF3D2: here's an example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6817420/
[00:08] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: try this again: sudo umount /dev/sda{1,2,3,4}
[00:08] <sh0t> ah ok antifa ! I know about boot-repair the problem is that IT gets stuck
[00:08] <sh0t> on the initial phase when is running os-prober
[00:08] <DF3D2> TJ-, so /target is wherever the drive is mounted ?
[00:08] <bprompt> Fevix:    right-click on it, and click on .... Properties I think, depends on your windows manager
[00:09] <Fevix> Last failed command: sudo dd if=/home/Kimberly/Desktop/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd65.iso of=/dev/sdb1
[00:09] <Fevix> Fails with "NO such file or directory: <Exactly what I typed for if=>
 hm... I would tre putting it o a disk sometimes I get erros from live usb to
[00:09] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  message /dev/sda1 (and 2,3) not mounted
[00:09] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: i abbreviated the message i hope you realize that
 think it is worth to try
[00:10] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: ok. sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | pastebinit
[00:10] <TJ-> DF3D2: yes... and you can change CHROOT two ways: either by doing "scriptname.sh /path/to/chroot" or "CHROOT=/path/to/chroot scriptname.sh"
[00:10] <Fevix> bprompt: I'm not getting anything about properties by right clicking on desktop
[00:10] <DF3D2> TJ-, oh wow thanks man
[00:11] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6817424/
[00:11] <DF3D2> TJ-, did you see my question earlier about if this was basically my only option?
[00:11] <Fevix> bprompt: Nevermind, I didn't realize you were telling me to do that to the file
[00:11] <Fevix> THanks, dd is working now
[00:11] <DF3D2> based on the circumstances of what im trying to do
[00:11] <sh0t> antifa, it seems that if i remove the usb stick while the live is executing and i run boot-repair it doesn't hang and it allows me to apply the changes that boot-repair suggests. Now the problem is that i still cannot boot Ubuntu but windows 8 boots instead
[00:11] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: sudo partprobe /dev/sda
[00:11] <TJ-> DF3D2: no, I've been away mostly... what are you trying to do?
[00:11] <Fevix> ... I think. There's no activity.
[00:12] <TJ-> Fevix: dd reports nothing until it finishes, unless you send the process a USR1 signal
[00:12] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  done
[00:12] <DF3D2> TJ-, so basically I had an lubuntu install where I had gotten amd drivers + cgminer to work correctly -- i tried to do this again on another machine and could never get it to work and drove my self basically insane -- so I went back and copied all the files from the working ubuntu install to a USB stick and made it bootable ( you helped with that yesterday) I want to clone this usb stick to several other usb sticks but the UUIDS for gr
[00:12] <DF3D2> ub etc won't match if I just do that right?
[00:12] <TJ-> Fevix: In another terminal you can do "sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)"
[00:12] <DF3D2> UUID*
[00:13] <bprompt> Fevix:     don't be mislead by "dd", it shows no progress bar per se... how big is the .iso ?
[00:13] <Fevix> bprompt: A bit under 1GB
[00:14] <Fevix> It's the 13.10 64 bit .iso.
[00:14] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: which loop did you setup again? /dev/loop1 ?
[00:14] <TJ-> DF3D2: If you strictly 'cloned' the entire image the UUIDs would be identical, but if you created new file-systems and copied files into them, then the UUIDs would be different
[00:14] <bprompt> Fevix:   anyhow, depending on hardware and size being written over, "dd" can take about 5mins or so... say for me it took 10mins to write a 4gbs image over to a 1.1 usb stick, it took about 5mins to a 2.0 usb stick
[00:14] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: ???
[00:14] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: Yes (better do a "cat /proc/partitions" to ensure the kernel has accepted the revised MBR)
[00:14] <Fevix> Right.
[00:15] <DF3D2> TJ-, so basically my easiest option is to DD the image to the new usb sticks, run the chroot script and edit /etc/fstab to specify the correct UUID of the new device right?
[00:15] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: cat /proc/partitions
[00:15] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: cat /proc/partitions | pastebinit
[00:15] <Fevix> THis is a craptop right now, though. I tried the usb-creator-kde thing but that completely failed.
[00:15] <bprompt> Fevix:    but "dd" has no progress bar per se, what I do is, I check the data transfers with somehing like "system monitor" and it shows that so much of this is being writtten over, plus I can tell too by looking at my cpu meter
[00:15] <TJ-> DF3D2: the UUIDs, if you cloned the entire file-systems, will be identical
[00:16] <chuckycheese> this may not be the right place, I am looking for an offline translator,  I have a user manual in PDF that I need to translate to English,  Google Translate is not working
[00:16] <DF3D2> TJ-, but the UUID of the new usb sticks will be differen't won't they ?
[00:16] <bprompt> Fevix:   ... really?   hmm I've used kde usb-creator many times, works for me
[00:16] <DF3D2> or will they be the same if it is the same model/brand/size stick ?
[00:16] <DF3D2> TJ-, as in grub will be looking for the wrong UUID ?
[00:16] <TJ-> DF3D2: the only thing that has a UUID is the file-systems, not the entire device or the physical device
[00:16] <DF3D2> OHHH thats right
[00:16] <matachi> What does the < mean in "< /dev/urandom tr -dc A-Za-z0-9"?
[00:16] <DF3D2> so i'm trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist
[00:16] <DF3D2> all I need to do is dd
[00:16] <Redban> hi, can't run java applets in browser ..getting "security setting blockes application" ubuntu 12.04
[00:17] <Fevix> Well it just finished. Here goes nothing, wish me luck
[00:17] <DF3D2> lol...
[00:17] <TJ-> DF3D2: It looks that way :)
 have you tryed   grub-install /dev/hdx
[00:17] <hitsujiTMO> matachi: pipe the output or whats on the right to "-" left of <
[00:17] <DF3D2> TJ-, I was over thinking it --- incorrectly thinking it more aptly -- I hadn't even tried to clone it yet since i'm currently running it on the first target machine and it's kind of production since it makes me a decent bit of cash a day mining :-D
[00:18] <sh0t> antifa, no but i am not sure that will work
[00:18] <Fevix> isolinux.bin missing or corrupt
[00:18] <Fevix> ... SHould I be worried?
[00:18] <TJ-> DF3D2: It does make sense to change UUIDs in installed systems in case you ever need to connect one hard disk into another system that is also cloned, you can change UUIDs of file-systems - its quite a standard practice for managed landscapes with auto-deployment tools
[00:18] <iceroot> which is the lightest webbrowser from the repos? (gui)
[00:18] <DF3D2> TJ-, these machines run off one USB stick only, so I don't think that will be a concern
[00:19] <matachi> hitsujiTMO: But "/dev/urandom < tr -dc A-Za-z0-9" doesn't work? Shoudn't that use what's to the right as input?
[00:19] <CR1T1C4L718> hi
[00:19] <bprompt> Fevix:    I'd think it's just a misdowloaded file
[00:19] <TJ-> DF3D2: OK, so only if you plug 2 USB sticks into the same system... because then you'll have conflicting LABELs and UUIDs
 sory dude this are the things I tried, donno what to advice u further
[00:19] <hitsujiTMO> matachi: what are you trying to do?
[00:19] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: i think you need to PM these commands I cant see  with all the other activity going on - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6817473/
[00:19] <DF3D2> TJ-, ahh I follow you, yeah that will not be a concern they will never have 2 of them plugged in.
[00:20] <CR1T1C4L718> can I ask you guys a question
[00:20] <littlejim> Hello. I hope some one may be able to assist. I have been trying to share a folder on my Ubuntu 12.04 PC over a home network to PCs running Win 8.1 - but no success. The Win machines can see the folder but can open it - permissions denied. I have tried everything in the support forums - inc modifying the config file in Samba. It is a permissions problem on the Ubuntu side I think. Most obliged for any thoughts.
[00:20] <matachi> hitsujiTMO: "< /dev/urandom tr -dc A-Za-z0-9" works fine, I'm just trying to understand why < should be placed where it is
 sory i sugest you repst ure question and wait
[00:20] <sh0t> it's ok man no problem ;) i forgive u you have a nice nickname
[00:20] <sh0t> :)
[00:20] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: cat /proc/partitions
[00:20] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: copy the output to paste.ubuntu.com
[00:20] <Fevix> bprompt: I'm losing more and more faith in Ubuntu. THis is going to be the 5th time in 3 days I've downloaded a ubuntu iso
[00:20] <rawfodog> how do you use netflix on ubuntu ?
[00:20] <DF3D2> TJ-, what does the system do in that case though, kernel panic or ?
[00:21] <TJ-> matachi: "<" is the shell stdin redirection symbol... it is redirecting the stdout of the commands on the right, into the stdin of whatever is on the left
[00:21] <DF3D2> just fail to mount the second stick?
[00:21] <antifa> thanks
[00:21] <TJ-> DF3D2: if you're not booting from them, udev will just fail to create the symlinks for the second device.
[00:22] <DF3D2> ah
[00:22] <TJ-> DF3D2: if you're booting from them, I'm not sure what grub would do... be an interesting experiment
[00:22] <hitsujiTMO> matachi: because the output of the command to the right of < """/dev/urandom tr -dc A-Za-z0-9""" you are piping back in place of the "-" to left left of <          you seem to be not showing the full line of code
[00:22] <DF3D2> TJ-, haha yeah I wonder what grub would do my self, theoretically it would just pick one and boot from it I'd think? Since it technically can find the UUID it want
[00:22] <TJ-> DF3D2: but it won't know which UUID is correct.
[00:23] <DF3D2> true
[00:23] <matachi> hitsujiTMO: "< /dev/urandom tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 50; echo" is the full line of code
[00:23] <TJ-> DF3D2: If might read all file-systems and use the last one that matches; thats an easy algorithm to write
[00:23] <sh0t> hi guys can please someone help me with all this thing UEFI/Secureboot wINDOWS 8 and Ubuntu? I have installed disabling secureboot ubuntu on a partition next to Windows 8. Now I need to make it boot so I restarted a live usb ubuntu and from there i am running boot-repair which gets stuck on the initial phase when it says: Scanning systems(os-prober)....I also noticed that if i remove the usb stick while the live is executing and then i run boot-repair IT doesn'
[00:23] <sh0t> t get stuck BUT the changes it applies are not effective in the sense that i am still no able to run Ubuntu from my hd.
[00:23] <DF3D2> TJ-, yeah
[00:23] <hitsujiTMO> matachi: ahh i see sorry
[00:23] <CR1T1C4L718> hey who knows about VPN
[00:23] <DF3D2> TJ-, I might have to move all these machines to PXe boot eventually because i've heard USB sticks don't last forever as /
[00:24] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6817487/
[00:24] <TJ-> DF3D2: PXE is the way to go, much easier to maintain a central image and update it
[00:24] <CR1T1C4L718> anyone?
[00:24] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: sonofrustuptwist: Yay! Looking excellent there
[00:24] <DF3D2> TJ-, thing is, they don't have any updating to do really once they are set and working -- They will run the exact same image except slightly different config files for one program based on silicon lottery basically
[00:25] <DF3D2> TJ-, basically when mining each video card has a best core/mem clock ratio
[00:25] <DF3D2> and they are all slightly different
[00:25] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: now. to copy over the data
[00:25] <TJ-> DF3D2: But with a PXE with TFTP + NFS, you can update the images with bug and security fixes using your chroot and "apt-get upgrade" really easily, in fact you can script it.
[00:26] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: and i thought we were done, lol
[00:26] <TJ-> DF3D2: You can configure TFTP and NFS so each PC loads a slightly different configuration too
[00:26] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: brb bathroom break!!!!!
[00:26] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: cool
[00:26] <DF3D2> TJ-, yeah that part about a different image is handy -- as far as apt-get update I don't want to update them at all once they are working
[00:27] <glitsj16> rawfodog: how-to for netflix --> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html
[00:27] <DF3D2> TJ-, updating gives me no benefit for these machines -- they do exactly 1 task
[00:27] <TJ-> DF3D2: That's what I do here, I have a rack with mobos stacked in it of various types so I can test build and run kernels and core libraries automatically on a wide variety of hardware
[00:27] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: you're happy with?: sudo dd if=/dev/loop1 bs=$((512 * 2048 * 100)) skip=4061 of=/dev/sda5
[00:27] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: no
[00:27] <Fevix> I just want a single f***ing download of Ubuntu that doesn't give me problems the day I get it, is that too much to ask?
[00:27] <DF3D2> TJ-, I won't lie I've looked at some guides for PXE and it seems really complicated to me :-\ I know it isn't but I have a higher learning curve some times
[00:28] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: If you're using the loopback device you don't need any skip
[00:28] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: the start of the loopback device is the start of the FS so its just "sudo dd if=/dev/loop1 of=/dev/sda5"
[00:29] <TJ-> DF3D2: Shout me another day, I'll send you my scripts that set it all up
[00:29] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: lol yup sorry
[00:29] <DF3D2> TJ-, I could try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto#Set_up_your_Server
[00:29] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: I'm starting to get tired now aswell it seems
[00:29] <jrib> Fevix: i understand you're frustrated, but keep in mind people here are users too.  We're just trying to help one another with issues that come up.  So please take the random comments elsewhere and focus on actual support issues here
[00:30] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: ;p
[00:31] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: back from the latrine
[00:31] <TJ-> DF3D2: I'd go for dnsmasq instead of dhcp3-server, it is much more lightweight and easier to configure
[00:31] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: sudo dd if=/dev/loop1 of=/dev/sda5 bs=$((512 * 2048 * 100))
[00:32] <RaptorJesus> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i1gTTrFn2E
[00:32] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: that should take about 23 mins roughly
[00:32] <hitsujiTMO> !ot | RaptorJesus
[00:32] <DF3D2> TJ-, are your scripts on github or something ?
[00:32] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: enough time for a few whiskies :p
[00:32] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: lol yup
[00:32] <TJ-> DF3D2: no, they're in my central /usr/local/bin/ :)
[00:33] <user2> does xterm support urgency hint?
[00:33] <DF3D2> TJ-, can I trouble you for them :-D
[00:33] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  how long will that take you think?
[00:33] <rawfodog> glitsj16, you rock
[00:33] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: 23 mins roughly given the first try
[00:34] <glitsj16> rawfodog: got it working?
[00:34] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  and after that whats next?
[00:34] <DF3D2> TJ-, also, when you do PXE boot does the client pc continually need data from the host or does it load everything in to ram ?
[00:35] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: then you should be able to install ubuntu
[00:35] <TJ-> DF3D2: It can be done several ways, but the normal way is to boot using BOOTP/TFTP to get the kernels, and then the root FS is over NFS
[00:35] <qwerty2> What printers are fully supported by Ubuntu without any issues reported and proper testing?
[00:35] <DF3D2> TJ-, ahh
[00:35] <TJ-> DF3D2: the local node can then either mount a read-write FS locally, or use a read-write NFS mount
[00:35] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  thats great cause i gotta get some sleep, gotta be at work in 2.5 hours
[00:35] <xangua> !printer | qwerty2
[00:35] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: rofl
[00:36] <TJ-> DF3D2: with plenty of RAM you can have the client's use a tmpfs RAM-based file-system for read-write, which is lost on shutdown
[00:36] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  im glad you can laugh, lol its 3.36 AM here
[00:36] <DF3D2> TJ-, yeah they are only going to have 1 8gb stick
[00:36] <DF3D2> TJ-, and the image is like 6gb or so
[00:37] <Guest14557> hello. does anyone know how to make windows boot first over ubuntu?

[00:48] <sonofrustuptwist> TJ-:  how long do you think this will take?
[00:48] <whoever> i get a tty login that when i login i am propted that the system will be checkec for errors on next reboot but that does not happen , can someone assist
[00:48] <bprompt> Fevix:   "dd" only does rawdate writting..... works very reliably for me.... so, if someone went awry... I'd think it was either your command line or your hardware
[00:48] <glitsj16> heavyammo: you can have ubuntu on a Chromebook --> http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.be/2013/10/chrubuntu-for-new-chromebooks-now-with.html
[00:48] <bprompt> rawdata rather
[00:49] <TJ-> sonofrustuptwist: I'd say another 15-20 minutes if the copy continues at the same rate
[00:49] <Fevix> hitsujiTMO: Using dd, the USB stick was completely unable to boot thanks to that. Same USB stick, same ISO, but with Linux Live through WIndows 7, and I;m now staring at the Ubuntu desktop booted from the USB
[00:49] <gudenau> Hello!
[00:50] <jeffrey_f> gudenau: Just ask your question
[00:50] <hitsujiTMO> Fevix: what was the exact command you used for dd?
[00:51] <Fevix> sudo dd if=/home/kimberly/Desktop/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd65.iso of=/dev/sdb1
[00:51] <hitsujiTMO> Fevix: /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb1
[00:51] <gudenau> I have a large problem, I was installing Ubumtu 13 over 12 so I sellected the option "Uninstall Ubuntu 12.XX and install Ubuntu 13.XX". Now my Windows install is gone and as soon as I relized this I kill my computer and started using my tablet.
[00:51] <Fevix> I got sdb1 from using df -h
[00:52] <Fevix> there was no sdb
[00:52] <bprompt> [15:44] <bprompt> Fevix:     sudo dd if=/PATHHERE/YOURISOFILEHERE.iso  of=/dev/YOURDEVICEHERE, <---- say your device is loaded as say "sdb" with say 1 partition of say "sdb1" or so, then you'd do say  -> dd if=MYFILE.iso of=/dev/sdb  <--- no partition number, just the raw device name
[00:52] <hitsujiTMO> Fevix: your writing it to the drive not the partition
[00:52] <Fevix> Oh.
[00:52] <Fevix> Well now I feel stupif
[00:52] <xx> YES PING ME
[00:52] <xx> PING ME ALL THE TIME BABY
[00:53] <hitsujiTMO> Fevix: easy mistake
[00:53] <bprompt> yeap, happens often enough to all
[00:53] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: can you check once again: sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)
[00:54] <gudenau> Awww.
[00:54] <gudenau> [ is taken. :/
[00:55] <CR1T1C4L718> can I get a little VPN help please?

[00:55] <gudenau> So, can I get some help?
[00:56] <gudenau> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
[00:57] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: did u get it?
[00:57] <heavyammo> glitsj16, great thanks. Do you also mean by saying this that yes Chromebook would be the cheapest option
[00:57] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: yup nearly there
[00:57] <FireStorms> I ran a Java .jar file that set up a proxy, I killed the process, but I am now concerned that the file has left settings on my computer so that my network traffic gets routed through the proxy. Is there anyway I can check I'm not being "spied" on?
[00:58] <whoever> can someone assist with a 12.04 update , resulting in no GUI
[00:58] <Beldar> gudenau, You need to make a precise description of the help you need and the details of the overall picture, if a user here knows an answer they will probably reply.
[00:59] <Beldar> !details | whoever
[00:59] <gudenau> Thought I gave a good description.
[00:59] <gudenau> (gudenau) I have a large problem, I was installing Ubumtu 13 over 12 so I sellected the option "Uninstall Ubuntu 12.XX and install Ubuntu 13.XX". Now my Windows install is gone and as soon as I relized this I kill my computer and started using my tablet.
[00:59] <gudenau> Oops, hit enter instrad of backspace...
[01:00] <sh0t> hi guys can please someone help me with all this thing UEFI/Secureboot wINDOWS 8 and Ubuntu? I have installed disabling secureboot ubuntu on a partition next to Windows 8. Now I need to make it boot so I restarted a live usb ubuntu and from there i am running boot-repair which gets stuck on the initial phase when it says: Scanning systems(os-prober)....I also noticed that if i remove the usb stick while the live is executing and then i run boot-repair IT doesn'
[01:00] <sh0t> t get stuck BUT the changes it applies are not effective in the sense that i am still no able to run Ubuntu from my hd.
[01:00] <Beldar> gudenau, and what is your end goal?
[01:00] <gudenau> To fix my Windows 7 install and have Ubuntu 13.
[01:01] <Fevix> gudenau: I'm not sure, but I think that option formats the disk, regardless of the state of other OS's, not just uninstalling other Ubuntu installs.
[01:01] <Beldar> gudenau, What tools do you have related to W7, an install disk? Have you looked closely with a live ubuntu cd to make sure it is really gone?
[01:01] <Guest13490> i was recomened to download a grub editor forget what its called but i downloaded it restarted and it still loads ubutnu first
[01:01] <gaffa> I agree boot up from a live cd and see if the partition is still there.
[01:02] <Beldar> gudenau, Be sure to use nicks here, you can tab complete them.
[01:02] <gudenau> The only partiotions are a small fat32 one, a ~1Tb part with ubuntu and the swap.
[01:02] <gudenau> I also have the install disk.
[01:02] <gudenau> Belder, I can not use tab, android.
[01:03] <gudenau> Beldar*
[01:03] <cwage> does anyone know why gnupg2 shipped in ubuntu 12.10 doesn't support ECC?
[01:03] <cwage> is there a build somewhere that does?
[01:03] <Guest13490> i just want to make windows 7 boot before ubuntu 12.04
[01:03] <gudenau> Edit grub' config.
[01:04] <Fevix> Guest13490: Can't you just press like, f8 or something during the boot process to select an OS?
[01:04] <gudenau> Oops.
[01:04] <Fevix> Or edit the bios options to select the partition with Windows?
[01:05] <Guest13490> i want it to automatically pick windows over ubuntu
[01:05] <hitsujiTMO> cwage: this should explain it: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gnupg/users/62714
[01:05] <Fevix> Both these options should set it permanantly until done again to switch back to Ubuntu, unless your BIOS is different
[01:06] <cwage> ah i see. i didn't realize it was only in 2.1
[01:06] <cwage> thanks!
[01:06] <Fevix> ALl that said, I have an issue: Trying to install 64-bit Ubuntu over a 32-bit, I selected the option that let me preserve files, and it's been stuck on "Saving installed packages" for ~15 minutes. Should I reboot and do a full reinstall?
[01:07] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: can you check once again: sudo kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)
[01:07] <antifa> so strange things hapen to my laptop :) ubuntu 13.10 can only see cd's when I enter a dvd nothing hapens, I tried it with blanks, writen dvd's dvd rom unit does not mount, any ideas ?
[01:07] <loki_> hey guys.  to partition off a drive after the OS is installed so that the main stuff is on one part of the HDD and the rest of the free space is used for data, what steps are required?  just partition it in gparted and done? or is there something else involved?
[01:11] <loki_> I suppose it would functionally be like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ExtendedPartition
[01:12] <daftykins> loki_: what did you do so far? installed to x GB?
[01:12] <loki_> daftykins: nothing at this point.  right now this is for research purposes.
[01:12] <daftykins> Fevix: yes you really want to format / in that case
[01:12] <sonofrustuptwist> dd: writing `/dev/sda5': No space left on device 708+0 records in 707+0 records out 74175217664 bytes (74 GB) copied, 2078.19 s, 35.7 MB/s
[01:13] <daftykins> loki_: what scenario would you be in where you'd only setup things partially from install though?
[01:13] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: ???
[01:14] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: thats cool. its done
[01:14] <loki_> daftykins: to provide more background, I am going to be using greyhole for storage pooling, but the unit where I am installing my OS to only has 4 drive bays.  I would like to make the most of those bays.  So I would like take the 1TB drive the OS is currently installed on, shrink the OS partition down to something like 60-100GB, then use the remaining free space for the storage pool.
[01:15] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  so i can install ubuntu now? and sleep for an hour b4 work?
[01:15] <Thor446> I managed to get ubuntu's wifi working, and then it just stopped. It keeps turning wireless hotspot ON, and prevents me from turning it off (I switch to off and it just crashes the window). Any idea how to fix that?
[01:15] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: now we should verify it: sudo blkid /dev/sda5
[01:15] <Me> does xterm support urgency hints?
[01:15] <loki_> daftykins: sorry, dropped out of the room for a sec.  did you see what I typed?
[01:15] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: one more tiny thing needs to be done
[01:16] <daftykins> loki_: yep, so resize, add partition, edit /etc/fstab and add the new volume, add/edit mountpoints as appropriate and move/copy data
[01:16] <Thor446> The first time I got it working I had to connect with a wire, turn off hotspot, then install the drivers; then it just randomly turned on hotspot again now
[01:17] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: can you open gparted
[01:17] <loki_> daftykins: sounds simple enough.  need to figure out how to add it to the greyhole storage pool, but that is beyond the scope of this room.  thanks!
[01:17] <daftykins> np :)
[01:17] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: this should only take < 60 seconds at least
[01:18] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO: /dev/sda5: UUID="E47CDFA27CDF6DB4" TYPE="ntfs"
[01:18] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: open gparted
[01:18] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  how?
[01:18] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: from the dash
[01:18] <loki_> next question: how can I rip blu rays from ubuntu?  what I would like to do is rip them down to m4v files.  I am not concerned about how large the files are, just want to know how to accomplish this.  I gave it a try earlier with handbrake, but handbrake wasn't giving me the behavior I would expect.  certain movies don't rip well and it requires handbrake to parse an entire directory, but when I tried that handbrake wouldn't find any movie 
[01:18] <loki_> all.
[01:18] <loki_> any ideas guys?
[01:19] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: or: alt + f2     then type gparted
[01:19] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:ok done
[01:20] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: once in. right-click on /dev/sda4 (extended)                     choose: resize/move
[01:20] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: Change "Free space Following (MiB):" to 0
[01:21] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: hit "Resize/Move"
[01:21] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: hit the green tick in the top
[01:21] <daftykins> loki_: look into makemkv
[01:21] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: then "apply"
[01:21] <manlin> hi all. trying to install youtube-dl from a ppa but i get 404 when apt-get update
[01:22] <hitsujiTMO> manlin: that ppa is clearly broken then
[01:22] <DF3D2> TJ-, you around ?
[01:22] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  ok done
[01:22] <manlin> hitsujiTMO: most google search hits show the same ppa webupd8
[01:22] <heavyammo> Hey dudes, what would be the cheapest laptop with really good battery life that I could run Ubuntu / Xubuntu?  I am looking at the $200 Chromebook, but I don't really want to use Chrome OS, but Ubuntu
[01:23] <manlin> but 404
[01:23] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: right. now. shut down. go to sleep. get up. have a shower. get dressed. go to work. come back, install ubuntu.
[01:23] <ixy> Hi, I found little mistake in synaptics configuration file ('/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf') (Ubuntu 13.10)- there is comment in "touchpad catchall"  identifier's section, where is broken link. In comment is said exactly: "See the following link for details: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html"... It's not bug so I didn't reported it, but is there any other way to inform anybody about that?
[01:24] <hitsujiTMO> manlin: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update
[01:24] <jonsparks> I can't connect to ssh at all, it's throwing this: http://pastebin.ca/2589074
[01:24] <jonsparks> Tried reinstalling openssh-server to no avail
[01:24] <manlin> hitsujiTMO: yeah will do. got rid of that ppa. will grab it again now
[01:25] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  true that. THANKS A BUNCH. take it easy
[01:25] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: no problems
[01:26] <sonofrustuptwist> hitsujiTMO:  though i might hit install now and let it run during my catnap
[01:27] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: lol
[01:27] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: its only takes a few mins to install. not gonna save much time
[01:27] <hitsujiTMO> sonofrustuptwist: wait till you're back from work
[01:27] <glitsj16> ixy: for me that link works just fine .. or isn't that the broken one?
[01:27] <Michael87> alright. I am tryying to help my cousins kid by testing a linux boot on usb on this maylong android laptop. The wifi adapter is not connecting right and I am wandering if its the hardware  or the software at fault. But I cannot access the bios on this sucker. Can anyone help?
[01:28] <TJ-> jonsparks: Did you recently upgrade  openssh-server on the server? Usually that is caused by an upgrade issue. See e.g. http://www.howtoforge.com/debian-ubuntu-unable-to-make-backup-link-of-usr-bin-sshd-before-installing-new-version-operation-not-permitted
[01:28] <mikubuntu> heavyammo: you might want to ask in #hardware about good battery life -- ubuntu will run on almost any computer with at least 256 of ram, the more the better naturally. buy three older matching laptops and keep 2 extra batteries charged at all times for more battery time.  got a couple old dells for $25 each
[01:29] <Beldar> Michael87, There are images for android devices, not all androids are compatible #ubuntu-touch is the channel you need.
[01:29] <jonsparks> nope, but I did try that and it didn't work
[01:29] <TJ-> jonsparks: Besides ssh, do you have console access to the server?
[01:29] <manlin> hitsujiTMO: apt-get update with 404. Have a look http://paste.debian.net/78381/
[01:29] <Beldar> Michael87, I have not see a live session however just install options.
[01:29] <Michael87> Beldar, its a netbook not a tablet. so I figure I should be able to boot into the bios
[01:29] <jonsparks> yeah, I've got vnc access to it
[01:30] <TJ-> jonsparks: check the size and permissions of the /usr/sbin/sshd
[01:31] <hitsujiTMO> manlin: that ppa is for ubuntu not debian.
[01:31] <Beldar> Michael87, On the channel I gave you there is info on a dualboot setup for android and ubuntu as well.
[01:32] <manlin> hitsujiTMO: ahhh. slightly confused. I got crunchbang and thought i can use whatever is made for Ubuntu
[01:32] <Michael87> Beldar, thank you
[01:32] <manlin> hitsujiTMO: i might sound silly :)
[01:32] <hitsujiTMO> manlin: you can also just get the latest from upstream  http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
[01:32] <manlin> hitsujiTMO: thank you. let me try that
[01:32] <hitsujiTMO> manlin: its a python binary so will work
[01:32] <jonsparks> it looks fine
[01:33] <manlin> cool thanks
[01:33] <hitsujiTMO> manlin: https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2014.01.23.4/youtube-dl
[01:33] <Beldar> Michael87, No problem, hope you get this resolved.
[01:34] <TJ-> jonsparks: can you ssh in as a non-root user?
[01:35] <jonsparks> hmm yeah
[01:36] <xyzaffa1r>      
[01:37] <TJ-> jonsparks: OK, I think an upgrade is the issue... but the /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/sbin/sshd files have attributes that mean the files can't be replaced. Can you do "lsattr /usr/{s,}bin/ssh* | pastebinit"
[01:39] <jonsparks> http://pastebin.ca/2589078
[01:41] <TJ-> jonsparks: You see that /usr/bin/ssh has the "undeletable" flag set?
[01:42] <TJ-> jonsparks: "sudo su" from a user account that has sudo privs, then do "chattr -u /usr/bin/ssh" then try "apt-get --reinstall install openssh-client openssh-server"
[01:42] <ixy> glitsj16: oh, already got it... i opened link from terminal, and browser didn't loaded 'www.' prefix... so the page is OK... thanks
[01:43] <jonsparks> still does it
[01:43] <jonsparks> I updated the paste with the new permissions
[01:44] <hewhomust> any 3.10
[01:45] <TJ-> jonsparks: From a non-ssh session, have you done "sudo service ssh restart"
[01:45] <Fudge> what is the package called providing appearance in gnome-control-center
[01:45] <jonsparks> yeah, I'll try it after it reboots
[01:45] <TJ-> jonsparks: reboot should be good enough!
[01:45] <TJ-> jonsparks: the point was to stop using the sshd that was in memory
[01:45] <jonsparks> hopefully :p
[01:49] <jonsparks> TJ-: it worked!
[01:49] <TJ-> jonsparks: You seem surprised :D
[01:49] <jonsparks> A bit :P
[01:51] <black_angel> hey, guys, my laptop is Thinkpad E430, and there's a wireless device on it, but it works not very well, I use 'iwconfig' and 'ifconfig' command, but can not find 'wlan0'
[01:52] <jhquest> Dual booting Mac and Saucy, need to pick a r/w file system for a shared partition. Ext4, un-journalled HFS+ or NTFS? Any suggestions?
[01:52] <lovely> exit
[01:53] <black_angel> so i use 'sudo lshw -class network' to get more information, it shows me the vendor is 'Broadcom Corporation'
[01:54] <carl_> hello? Can anybody see this?
[01:54] <EVCLIDIS> Greetings..
[01:54] <black_angel> I think i need a wireless driver, any suggestion, where i can get my wireless driver.
[01:55] <carl_> What kind of wireless card do you have?
[01:55] <carl_> Are you using an hp laptop?
[01:56] <hitsujiTMO> !bcw | black_angel
[01:56] <black_angel> carl_: I'm using Thinkpad E430
[01:56] <hitsujiTMO> !bcm | black_angel
[01:56] <jhquest> chances are the proprietary broadcom driver in the repo will work for you
[01:57] <derp> zz2
[01:57] <hewhomust> jhquest: if mac can read ext4 then use that ext4
[01:58] <EVCLIDIS> black_angel: software and updates, drivers section. Find appropriate driver automatically.
[01:58] <black_angel> ubottu: thx man
[01:59] <jhquest> ext4 support on mac is 39 usd with paragon, don't really want to pay
[02:00] <black_angel> EVCLIDIS: i've no idea whether it's broken or not.
[02:00] <jhquest> however not sure if un-journalled hfs+ is safe enough
[02:00] <bhldev> lol 39 bucks for ext4?
[02:00] <jhquest> http://www.paragon-software.com/home/extfs-mac/features.html
[02:01] <EVCLIDIS> Is there a way to install gdm locker into kde?
[02:01] <Ithak> m
[02:01] <Ithak> j
[02:02] <ithak1> k
[02:03] <hewhomust> jhquest,  use hfs then
[02:03] <jhquest> Dual booting Mac and Saucy, need to pick a r/w file system for a shared partition. Ext4, un-journalled HFS+ or NTFS? Anyone?
[02:04] <jhquest> is un-journalled hfs+ safe? anyone has any experience with this?
[02:04] <jhquest> ubuntu cannot do read access to journalled hfs+
[02:04] <jhquest> write access
[02:04] <chaotix> hi...   is installing evolution and syncing my calendars through it the only way to have my appointments show up when i click the clock/calendar indicator on the top panel in ubuntu?  or is there another way now
[02:04] <daftykins> jhquest: OS X doesn't write to NTFS as default
[02:04] <EVCLIDIS> Htbrdd: Just for filesystem, in ubuntu, I suggest ext4..
[02:05] <awk> How can i use 'awk' to start from line 80 and then print the columns?
[02:05] <jhquest> EVCLIDIS, ext4 support on mac is atrocious
[02:05] <awk> i just need to know how to start from specific line
[02:05] <jhquest> HFS+ it is then
[02:06] <EVCLIDIS> Probably..
[02:07] <TJ-> awk: "awk 'NR>= 80 { print} /path/to/file'   "
[02:09] <black_angel> yes, actually i can find out 'Broadcom BTA wireless driver' in Additional Drivers
[02:09] <Slade-> hmm any idea why linux-image-generic would be held back during an apt-get upgrade?
[02:09] <glitch> any one know how to keep xbmc from messing with overscan settings ( tv is pos and doesn't have setting to adjust overscan)
[02:10] <EVCLIDIS> black_angel: Exactly..
[02:11] <TJ-> Slade-: new kernel version, try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[02:11] <Slade-> ah
[02:11] <Slade-> guess i dont want to do that unless i plan on rebooting
[02:12] <jeffrey_f> Slade-:  you can reboot at any time....I haven't had a forced reboot in quite a while
[02:13] <TJ-> Slade-: installing a new kernel doesn't imply you have to use it now :)
[02:13] <Slade-> TJ-: ah normally i found the release upgrades mses with my nginx and other things :)
[02:13] <TJ-> Slade-: the only upgrades that require that are things like eglibc (libc6)
[02:13] <Slade-> yea
[02:14] <Slade-> i guess i could get around doing it
[02:14] <loki_> so...blu-ray ripping in ubuntu?  handbrake doesn't have the expected behavior.
[02:14] <kirk> hi ... everybody... :)
[02:14] <black_angel> hey, i know how to umount my usb external disk driver, but question, anybody has idea to 'eject' a usb wireless device?
[02:15] <EVCLIDIS> black_angel: 'eject /media/dev'
[02:16] <black_angel> when 'lsusb', it shows me 'Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN'
[02:16] <glitch> rfkill
[02:16] <black_angel> EVCLIDIS: but there's nothing on '/media' dir
[02:16] <glitch> black_angel, rfkill
[02:17] <EVCLIDIS> black_angel: I think you cannot eject it. You can just deactivate.. r
[02:18] <DF3D2> having a problem where I setup a PXE folder, but I want to delete it and put something else in it's place but i'm not allowed to delete it even as root ?
[02:20] <mikubuntu> does anybody know what might be the cause of the screen jumping around when i click on a link, or into a text box with this new install? its a quirky thing, that drives you crazy
[02:20] <Ben64> DF3D2: explain more
[02:20] <DF3D2> mikubuntu, is it a laptop ?
[02:20] <glitch> DF3D2, check it with lsattr
[02:21] <glitch> DF3D2, and reply  with output
[02:21] <mikubuntu> DF3D2: yes, hp dv7 series
[02:21] <DF3D2> Ben64, I ran this earlier as root : chroot /miners/1 mount /proc
[02:21] <DF3D2> mikubuntu, try to disable tapping in pointing devices
[02:22] <DF3D2> Ben64, what is the proper way to unmount this so I can delete it
[02:22] <mikubuntu> DF3D2: hmmm, where would that be?
[02:22] <DF3D2> mikubuntu, not sure I use lubuntu...
[02:22] <DF3D2> mikubuntu, look for touchpad settings somewhere
[02:23] <mikubuntu> DF3D2: ok
[02:23] <DF3D2> glitch, lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on 1/proc
[02:23] <Ben64> DF3D2: reboot would be easy
[02:23] <DF3D2> Ben64, k trying that
[02:25] <DF3D2> Ben64, that worked :-D
[02:25] <Ben64> DF3D2: :) not sure how to un-chroot... there might be a better way
[02:26] <DF3D2> Ben64, meh reboot worked well enough :-D
[02:26] <xomp> Anyone here available to help me with my email issue? Postfix says the mail was delivered to mailbox but the message never arrives in the users mailbox.
[02:27] <xomp> I'm using Google Apps with my domain for Email
[02:30] <chaotix> xomp, i am too
[02:30] <mikubuntu> DF3D2: k, i think i fixed the pointer jumping thing -- now theres this menu of icons that shows up at the bottom of the page here with trash, file mgr, term, etc i'm actually having to type underneath it to where my words are obscured because the webchat textarea is at the bottom of the screen. anybody know how to disable this?
[02:30] <Slade-> do they spy on that email too?
[02:30] <chaotix> probably
[02:31] <xomp> chaotix, you have the same issue as I?
[02:31] <chaotix> xomp, i dont know what issue you mean...  i just use gmail with my domain
[02:31] <chaotix> sorry
[02:31] <chaotix> oh i see now
[02:31] <xomp> chaotix, oh, my issue is postfix says it delivered the message, but the message is never received.
[02:31] <chaotix> nah i dont have that prob
[02:31] <puppylinux2> chaotix: hello
[02:32] <chaotix> hey pup
[02:32] <chaotix> :)
[02:32] <DF3D2> mikubuntu, can't help you on that one, but you found the disable tapping thing ?
[02:32] <DF3D2> mikubuntu, when I got this new laptop I thought it was broken because of that tapping stuff lol
[02:32] <puppylinux2> ubuntu's channel is always busy, i think its one of the busiest irc channe
[02:32] <xomp> perhaps running a webserver on a VPS isn't a good idea then, can anyone suggest a good shared webhost then?
[02:33] <puppylinux2> chaotix:ubuntu's channel is always busy, i think its one of the busiest irc channe
[02:33] <mikubuntu> DF3D2: yes, thx found the settings for touchpad -- slowed down the mouse and pointer speeds and sensitivity and seems better
[02:33] <loki_> can anyone help me with either a question about blu-ray ripping or a question about creating a certain type of field in libreoffice?
[02:34] <chaotix> yeah?
[02:34] <puppylinux2> loki_: u can use help menu in libreoffice. its very vast and well documented.
[02:35] <chaotix> loki_, also, best thing you can do is just ask the question and if someone knows they will answer  :)
[02:35] <loki_> puppylinux2: I will have a look.  The problem is I don't know what it would be called in libreoffice.  each program seems to use different terminology and that ends up making finding exactly what I am looking for quite difficult.
[02:35] <mikubuntu> since this session began, my fan has been intermittently turning on and off -- usually its 'always on' -- wonder whats up with that
[02:35] <loki_> chaotix: aye, that I did.  about an hour ago or so.  so I was just sort of bumping it :D
[02:36] <chaotix> loki_, i see....  there are diff people herre now though, who wont know what question your bumbing
[02:36] <chaotix> bumping**
[02:36] <loki_> true
[02:36] <chaotix> my rule of thumb is to ask every 15 minutes
[02:36] <chaotix> :)
[02:36] <puppylinux2> loki_: open libreoffice and press F1 key to open help menu, and type about ur topic.
[02:36] <loki_> so my question is, what is the easiest way to rip a blu-ray movie to m4v in Ubuntu?
[02:36] <puppylinux2> give it a try.
[02:37] <loki_> puppylinux2: will give it a go.  I may have found the answer elsewhere :D
[02:37] <puppylinux2> ok
[02:37] <chaotix> loki_, you can always convert it after you rip it with ffmpeg i think
[02:37] <loki_> chaotix: you mean rip to ISO first?
[02:37] <chaotix> i have never ripped a blu ray
[02:37] <chaotix> let me look
[02:38] <puppylinux2> loki_ u can try the openshot for doing such tasks.
[02:38] <loki_> chaotix: oh.  here is what I typically do.  In windows I have anydvd HD.  I rip the blu ray with that.  I then pass it through handbrake and rip it to an m4v with the settings I want.
[02:38] <puppylinux2> loki_ do u have openshot editor.
[02:39] <loki_> puppylinux2: I thought openshot was designed for authoring blu-rays from video files you took with a video camera, etc.?
[02:39] <loki_> I do.
[02:40] <puppylinux2> loki_ u can use openshot in many ways, joining,cutting, merging all type of works.
[02:40] <puppylinux2> may be it supports ripping feature also, the newer version.
[02:40] <chaotix> makemkv looks like it can rip the blu ray for you
[02:40] <loki_> puppylinux2: I have never heard of anyone using openshot to take a blu-ray movie and turn it in to an M4V for local streaming.  I will have a look.
[02:41] <loki_> chaotix: won't that rip it to an MKV that would then need to be remuxed with handbrake?
[02:41] <chaotix> cant you do the converting after you rip it?  why does it have to be in one shot, loki_ ?
[02:42] <chaotix> loki_, rip it using whatever
[02:42] <puppylinux2> loki_ : the openshot can do conversion work also, may be it can help you. it can do any type of conversion.
[02:42] <chaotix> when you are done, use:
[02:42] <chaotix> avconv -i input.mkv -c copy output.m4v
[02:43] <loki_> chaotix: I currently do that.  I rip about 7 or 8 of my movies to an external HDD, then I add them all the the handbrake queue.  the problem comes about when certain movies don't really rip well.  disney movies come to mind.  they put a bunch of junk in the BDMV folder.
[02:43] <chaotix> sorry puppylinux2
[02:43] <chaotix> i didnt see your answet
[02:43] <chaotix> i just switched windows and pasted without looking
[02:43] <philr> i have a question concerning network connectivity for 1210desktop running in win hyper-v client, is this a good place to ask it?
[02:43] <puppylinux2> no problem.
[02:43] <loki_> chaotix: will look in to it.
[02:43] <loki_> puppylinux2: I will look at using openshot.
[02:43] <daftykins> philr: yeah just ask
[02:43] <loki_> I may be able to use openshot for something else that has been causing me grief.
[02:43] <loki_> heh :D
[02:44] <chaotix> as i have never ripped blu ray before, puppy should know better than i
[02:44] <chaotix> i would listen to his suggestion first
[02:45] <loki_> I will try it and see what happens.  I will end up doing a test run to see how it works out.
[02:45] <loki_> not right away, but soon.
[02:46] <puppylinux2> loki_:openshot it great conversion tool too, it an all rounder software.
[02:48] <DF3D2> Can someone who is good with setting up PXE help me? can't seem to get tftp to find the file
[02:49] <philr> k i am trying to establish a shared connection to the internet, windows is connected to a router and i have installed a virtual switch in hyper-v, this is where i get lost.... i have read a bunch of different things ranging from needing to install a "legacy adapter" or no adapter to just leaving everything at default
[02:50] <philr> the end result is always that i am not connected to the internet in ubuntu
[02:51] <puppylinux2> philr:u can use sakis3g to connect to the internet using a 3g modem.
[02:52] <philr> 3g? as in mobile communication service? i have a local wifi connection
[02:52] <philr> im pretty new to linux is general so please forgive my ignorance
[02:53] <puppylinux2> philr:3g means 3rd generation mobile communication . 3g dongle i mean.
[02:53] <puppylinux2> philr: for wifi u need to configure network settings in ubuntu settings manager.
[02:54] <philr> alright, i spent a lot of time there earlier but couldnt get it to work
[02:54] <philr> are there any sites you can point me to so i can read up on how to configure ubuntus network settings, dont mean to waste your time
[02:55] <puppylinux2> philr: ubuntu needs wifi drivers sometimes. which unbuntu version are you using?
[02:55] <philr> 1210 lts desktop
[02:55] <puppylinux2> ok i give u a link.
[02:56] <puppylinux2> philr:http://askubuntu.com/questions/211834/ubuntu-12-10-wifi-problems
[02:56] <philr> or, actually, i think its 12.04, and i just learned that you guys call it by animal names so, precise pangolin (see im learning)
[02:56] <philr> thanks a bunch ill be checking that out
[02:57] <puppylinux2> philr:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWzRd2vtnIs
[02:57] <puppylinux2> this is the video
[02:57] <puppylinux2> anyways what brand of router are you using?
[02:57] <Ubuntu1> hi, I am running ubunt12.04 and my CPU is running at 98 to 100 percent all the time, can someone tell me why?
[02:57] <philr> linksys
[02:58] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: check if ur running mutiple apps in background.
[02:58] <Ubuntu1> the only thing running is the net with 4 open tabs and this chat
[02:58] <puppylinux2> philr:http://askubuntu.com/questions/154611/wireless-networking-with-linksys-router-wrt310n-v-2-in-12-04
[02:58] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: open htop and see what it show.
[02:59] <Ubuntu1> puppy: in terminal?
[02:59] <puppylinux2> ubuntu1: yes
[03:00] <puppylinux2> type htop
[03:00] <Ubuntu1> puppy:  hang on , I think I may need to install that
[03:00] <puppylinux2> its installed by defaut in ubuntu?
[03:00] <teward> puppylinux2, no, htop isn't.  top is though

[03:01] <krz> anyone using ubuntu on a the latest macbook pro retina 15'?
[03:02] <olabaz> hey, I am dual booting windows7/ubuntu 12.04 and I have static ip set on windows7 to be 192.168.1.7 and I do not have anything set on ubuntu but everytime i logon to my computer on ubuntu I get that static ip. is there a way to have it be dynamic?
[03:02] <puppylinux2> i don't think u can boot ubuntu on a new macbook machine. or maybe u can
[03:03] <krz> puppylinux2: how useful is that comment
[03:03] <krz> comment=statement
[03:03] <puppylinux2> Krz: dont't get you?
[03:05] <spispopd> ubuntu works on macbooks
[03:05] <daftykins> olabaz: sounds like your router is setting the same IP given the same MAC address of the interface perhaps
[03:05] <ethermonk> attempting to enable hibernation on 1 box.   /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ is empty. is this normal? should i just save the code from http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation as a file named "com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla"  This is all the code i need correct? ubuntu isn't going to break because there is code missing from the file it is expecting?
[03:05] <puppylinux2> spispopd:ubuntu wroks on UEFI?
[03:06] <puppylinux2> Krz: ur also on archlinux channel?
[03:06] <krz> puppylinux2: yes
[03:06] <olabaz> daftykins: maybe but I'm pretty sure I took that off.  Do you think having the static ip for windows will mess with my internet connection because every now and again I get disconnected
[03:07] <daftykins> olabaz: what kind of disconnection?
[03:07] <FireStorms> How does google know where I am and how to stop them knowing. Go to Google and type: "where am I?"
[03:07] <daftykins> olabaz: depends if you're setting it statically in Windows settings or via DHCP reservation on the router
[03:07] <administrator> hi
[03:08] <daftykins> FireStorms: GeoIP.
[03:08] <olabaz> daftykins: i had both of them on but I recently took off the router one and left the windows up. not sure if i restarted the router after i did that though.
[03:08] <Ubuntu1> puppylinux: ok got it installed
[03:08] <olabaz> daftykins: it's like when you're maxed on download speed and everything is really slow but i checked nethogs and everything seems fine
[03:08] <puppylinux2> ubuntu1:good
[03:09] <daftykins> olabaz: yeah you'd probably want to restart the router to clear that out
[03:09] <Ubuntu1> puppylinux: what am I looking for?
[03:10] <max3>  im trying to cross compile from linux to windows and i get this error /usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -lGL. can someone tell me where that library is so i can point mingw to it
[03:12] <olabaz> daftykins: yeah i'll give that a shot. thanks for the help
[03:13] <Ubuntu1> puppylinux: yu still here?
[03:13] <daftykins> olabaz: np
[03:14] <AndroidLoverInSF> on my w520, it takes frecking 2 hours to transcode/render a 20min video into x264, 2mb/sec, 720p, 30 frames/sec mp4 video. using openshot in ubuntu 12.04
[03:14] <AndroidLoverInSF> on the 2013 macbook pro i use for work, it takes like 9 minutes to do the same thing. the w540 should be as powerful as a 2013 macbook pro right? maybe its linux, or openshot thats causing it to be slow
[03:14] <AndroidLoverInSF> why do you guys think its such a big difference? is it linux or openshot or my w520
[03:15] <daftykins> AndroidLoverInSF: what's a W520?
[03:16] <Ubuntu1> need help with why my cpu is running at 100 percent with nothing running
[03:16] <Ubuntu1> ubuntu 12.04
[03:16] <daftykins> AndroidLoverInSF: depending on the age of the hardware, it could be using intel quicksync on the MBP
[03:18] <puppylinux2> ubuntu1: u installed it?
[03:18] <Ubuntu1> puppy: yes and running it now
[03:19] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: which app is consuming highest memory according to htop?
[03:19] <puppylinux2> which process
[03:19] <Ubuntu1> puppy: firefox
[03:19] <puppylinux2> close the firefox and see does it decreases?
[03:20] <puppylinux2> any reduction in cpur usage?
[03:20] <Ubuntu1> puppy:  dropped to 5 percent
[03:21] <puppylinux2> now which process it utilizing the highest cpu usage in htop,
[03:21] <puppylinux2> check it
[03:21] <Ubuntu1> puppy: hang on
[03:22] <Ubuntu1> puppy: user/bin/x :0
[03:23] <puppylinux2> something is wrong with bin folder
[03:23] <funky> hey
[03:23] <puppylinux2> have u installed any recent apps.
[03:23] <puppylinux2> any extra packages?
[03:23] <funky> I delet .pid he comes again? I checked via ps aux soft daemon not running
[03:23] <DF3D2> can someone help me with a pxe problem ?
[03:23] <Ubuntu1> puppy: scribus
[03:24] <funky> 'is there any more ways to check by name if such and such soft running or not?
[03:24] <Beldar> DF3D2, tell the problem to the channel for help.
[03:24] <DF3D2> tftp says it can't find the file when i boot the client
[03:24] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu: desktop publishing app?
[03:24] <DF3D2> I cant seem to figure out why
[03:24] <Ubuntu1> puppy"  um yes, doing page layouts and such
[03:24] <ethermonk> PXE has never been much more than a gimmick. getting it to work is a pain and in some cases, depending on the hardware, it will never work
[03:25] <gordonjcp> ethermonk: [citation needed]
[03:25] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: 12.10 version is having some isseus with high cpu usage, some bug in ubuntu i think, pubishing apps also take some ram.
[03:25] <gordonjcp> ethermonk: you obviously don't work with clusters
[03:25] <ethermonk> 15 years in embedded systems
[03:25] <DF3D2> would someone be willing to help me figure out why?
[03:26] <gordonjcp> ethermonk: uh-huh, not large server farms then
[03:26] <DF3D2> I cant seem to find a tftpd-hpa log
[03:26] <puppylinux2> ethermonk: are you an IT professional?
[03:26] <JoshuaP> how would one explain a sudden static on the screen and inability to do anything until you force shutdown?
[03:26] <DF3D2> that might help pinpoint the problem
[03:26] <gordonjcp> DF3D2: I think it logs to syslog?
[03:26] <Ubuntu1> puppy: guess I just have to deal with it than, thanks
[03:26] <ethermonk> in a cluster enviornment, you wouldnt be using the consumer grade hardware DF3D2 is likely using
[03:27] <gordonjcp> you'd be surprised
[03:27] <DF3D2> i don't think my hardware is the issue man
[03:27] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: install the latest ubuntu version , quantal qatzal is is having resource problems.
[03:27] <DF3D2> it's some config problem
[03:27] <gordonjcp> Ubuntu1: sounds like some script running off on a webpage.  Bet you've got facebook open ;-)
[03:28] <Ubuntu1> puppy: ubuntu 13?
[03:28] <Guest16233> hey
[03:28] <gordonjcp> DF3D2: can you run a TFTP client on another machine, or even the same machine, and see if you can "manually" pull down the file?
[03:28] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: u can try it. newer ones can be better than older sometimes.
[03:28] <Ubuntu1> gordon, browser is closed
[03:29] <gordonjcp> Ubuntu1: CPU still at 100%?
[03:29] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: if a bug arises u can tell about in ubuntu forums , so it can be corrected.
[03:29] <Azelphur> Hi folks, having issues with network-manager, seems like apparmor is breaking it? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=wgcBK8Y7
[03:29] <Ubuntu1> gordon: when I launch firefox it will be

[03:30] <DF3D2> gordonjcp, doing that now

[03:31] <Ubuntu1> puppy: dont know how to check that
[03:31] <Guest16233> hey someone I need a hand, I was playing around installing desktop environments on my 13.10 install, now it won't get past the login screen
[03:31] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: type uname -r in terminal.
[03:31] <Guest16233> it doesnt show a loading icon or anything
[03:31] <Guest16233> not even the icon to pick a desktop environment, the thing is, I can't get to the desktop
[03:32] <DF3D2> gordonjcp, im connected from another machine, using /get/path/file /local/file/name
[03:32] <Guest16233> I dont want to format the partition, and yes, I am more or less new to linux, I know only basic stuff
[03:32] <DF3D2> gordonjcp, the file exists on the server, but it says it can't be found on the client ?
[03:32] <DF3D2> gordonjcp, get /path/file
[03:33] <Ubuntu1> puppy: command not working
[03:33] <gordonjcp> DF3D2: so you can pull the file from the server?
[03:33] <DF3D2> gordonjcp, no
[03:33] <DF3D2> it is saying not found and i don't know why
[03:33] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: it must be working, type uname -r simpe
[03:33] <gordonjcp> DF3D2: it's a bit late here so if you're around in GMT daytime try asking again and I'll compare it with what I have
[03:33] <puppylinux2> it works in every distro
[03:33] <puppylinux2> uname -r
[03:33] <Beldar> Guest16233, Did you try to remove any desktops, and what ones did you add and how?
[03:33] <gordonjcp> DF3D2: possibly the TFTP server isn't serving up what you think it's serving

[03:34] <Gnarly> Hello there, I am a recent ubuntu convert and was wondering that i need to transfer files from my windows pc. Using my external hard drive should I use FAT32 or use EXT2 with the windows driver for transferring the files to the external hdd?
[03:34] <Guest16233> Thanks Beldar, I googled and purged some stuff, now it won't let me chose a DE.
[03:34] <Ubuntu1> puppy: command not found
[03:34] <teward> funky, did you try to kill the pid with sudo?
[03:34] <funky> I am root
[03:35] <Beldar> Guest16233, Here specifics are the best, "some stuff" means nothing.
[03:35] <Guest16233> I don't remember what I typed to be honest
[03:35] <funky> so yes does not work
[03:35] <funky> there was some command to do it
[03:35] <puppylinux2> Beldar: uname -r command works with Ubuntu?
[03:35] <funky> it traces proccess to pid and kills
[03:36] <DF3D2> gordonjcp, i don't get it the file is definitely there
[03:36] <Beldar> Guest16233, Ah, well getting this fixed may be possible anything is, however without out details the time taken may exceed what a fresh install might just be better doing.
[03:37] <Guest16233> Alright, I was thinking about that too.
[03:37] <puppylinux2> Ubuntu1: ur making any typing mistake ? uname -r should work

[03:38] <Guest16233> can I restore just using the Ubuntu Gnome 800MB iso? I would love to save some time
[03:39] <Beldar> Guest16233, The only restore in ubuntu is a install.
[03:39] <Ubuntu1> can I upgrade to 13 from 12.04 without affecting my home folder and programs?
[03:39] <Beldar> Guest16233, And not a restore.

[03:40] <Ubuntu1> puppy: thanks,  good night
[03:40] <Beldar> Guest16233, An install overwrites what is there if the same partition nothing is saved, you would use a format option.

[03:42] <puppylinux2> loller:http://askubuntu.com/questions/174831/how-to-install-vmware-workstation-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts
[03:42] <loller> I am using 13.10
[03:43] <puppylinux2> loller:http://tutorialforlinux.com/2013/09/15/linux-ubuntu-vmware-workstation-10-how-to-install-for-12-10-13-04-13-10/
[03:44] <loller> thank i will try with these installed
[03:45] <puppylinux2> loller:alright
[03:45] <Guest16233> Cool, thanks Beldar
[03:45] <loller> Also, my laptop is being remote shutdownn
[03:45] <loller> By the usa gov i believe
[03:45] <loller> This is only possible when it is plugged into the power
[03:45] <loller> I will get remote shutdown complete poweroff
[03:45] <loller> when my laptop is plugged into power occasionally
[03:45] <loller> whenever the gov feels like
[03:45] <loller> any way to avoid this
[03:46] <loller> i feel a backdoor is built into the bios
[03:46] <loller> it happens offline or online
[03:46] <puppylinux2> loller: ur laptop hardware is ok?
[03:46] <loller> yeah
[03:46] <loller> it just does a complete poweroff at inopportune times
[03:46] <loller> obviously done on purpose
[03:46] <loller> by usa gov
[03:46] <puppylinux2> loller: hardware , like power cord, adapter, batteries?
[03:46] <loller> anything i can do
[03:46] <loller> no im sure its a remote
[03:46] <loller> thing
[03:46] <FloodBot1> loller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:46] <loller> The gov uses microwave hearing to let me know .
[03:47] <loller> they are doing a remote shutdown on my laptop.
[03:47] <loller> LOL
[03:47] <loller> so anything i can do at the kernel level for this
[03:47] <loller> its extremely oppressive.
[03:47] <llr> Hello all
[03:48] <loller> The hardware is all good.  Its just when its plugged into a wall, the computer can be completely shut down at any time.
[03:48] <loller> I havent experienced it yet since disabling all unneeded modules.  is this the extent of what i can do?
[03:48] <puppylinux2> loller: are your wall electric plugs all ok, any power surge can do that.
[03:48] <loller> Totally sure.
[03:49] <loller> Lets say even if its natural to try to diagnose a hardware problem, if there was a backdoor in the computer that connected it to some government intranet
[03:49] <puppylinux2> loller: in computers even a small change in electricity can affect the motherboard which causes such things.
[03:50] <loller> Well,  let's just imagine that the laptop is connecting to a gov network wirelessly
[03:50] <loller> at bios boot
[03:50] <loller> What could i do in my linux installation
[03:50] <loller> to prevent them gaining control?
[03:50] <puppylinux2> loller: at bios ur wifi does not works , it works when it boots into os.
[03:50] <Vivekananda> what is a good pdf reader with highlighting for ubuntu. Any new ones out there for 12.04
[03:50] <loller> Im aware of that.
[03:51] <loller> I feel that there is extra hardware
[03:51] <queonda> So i installed a new OS on my Lenovo X1 Carbon (Mint Petra). Now i keep getting asked for a admin password to enable boot from USB. is there any way I can install an OS over the current one without access to the bios? (I had previously installed Elementary OS, based on ubuntu, which did not lock my bios this way)
[03:52] <Noiro> Can someone tell me why my downloads folder is not showing latest downloads, but if I search for the name, it will show up? Gnome-shell. It started a couple of weeks ago
[03:52] <puppylinux2> loller: if it some extra hardware, u can check it with ur hardinfo tool, it in unbunt it can tell u about it.
[03:52] <loller> aside from turning off all unneded modules, how can i prevent the bios from touching ubuntu
[03:52] <loller> that is basically the question
[03:52] <loller> i guess..
[03:53] <gaffa> loller; you could replace your bios with an open source one :)
[03:53] <loller> That sounds excellent
[03:53] <puppylinux2> loller: u can't do it , an os is always under the contrl of Bios, but Bios is always free of os.
[03:53] <loller> could you link me some for laptops
[03:53] <loller> could you link me some open source laptop bios
[03:53] <loller> i see
[03:53] <loller> I feel my bios has   a gov backdoor
[03:53] <loller> i want to replace it ASAP
[03:54] <gaffa> i don't know how far they are. you should google around. maybe check the gnu.org and fsf.org websites.
[03:54] <puppylinux2> loller: if u flash with the BIOS , or install incorrect BIOS , ur laptop will be dead, and only thing u can do after it is replacing the motherboard.
[03:54] <puppylinux2> http://www.openfirmware.info/Welcome_to_OpenBIOS
[03:55] <Beldar> queonda, Mint has there own support is all.
[03:55] <puppylinux2> flashing a BIOS is critical job.
[03:55] <loller> i feel using an open bios would be critical to removing gov backdoor to your commercial pc
[03:56] <gaffa> well, it can be saved.. it's not like it is short circuitet
[03:56] <Beldar> queonda, I would check the md5sum that sounds wrong, and find there support.
[03:56] <PandaPanda> loller I'm not good with Ubuntu but I know it has native tools to report everything going on with your computer. U tried looking at one of those?
[03:56] <vanishing> -/join #minecraft
[03:56] <PandaPanda> Loller
[03:56] <gaffa> loller; if you are concerned you should start out by monitoring wireless traffic on an second labtop
[03:56] <puppylinux2> gaffa: it can't , like in some samsung laptop , if u install linux mint , the laptop gets blocks , and becomes dead, not booting at all
[03:56] <queonda> beldar check the md5sum of what?
[03:57] <loller> Well something interesting would be
[03:57] <loller> that the wireless witch is hardware disabled
[03:57] <gaffa> puppylinux2; I know.. you have to use other methods.
[03:57] <loller> but my Kali linux reports
[03:57] <loller> that it is actually indeed on
[03:57] <puppylinux2> loller: open bIOS is  not well tested.
[03:57] <loller> when hardware switch is off
[03:57] <FloodBot1> loller: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <Beldar> queonda, The ISO, that is all I can offer here, more than I should.
[03:57] <queonda> thanks
[03:58] <puppylinux2> now computers are having UEFI , it has made installing linux on these machines a very hard task.
[03:59] <loller> is anyone able to examine code of bios that comes with commercial pc
[03:59] <loller> to check for gov backdoor
[04:00] <jrib> !ot | loller
[04:00] <puppylinux2> loller: only an IT professional ir software  engineer can do that.
[04:00] <loller> Oh well they probably paid not to do that.
[04:00] <loller> LOL
[04:01] <loller> Lollocaust.
[04:01] <puppylinux2> loller: working with BIOS requires very speical attention, BIOS is something which is very critical.
[04:01] <loller> Ya
[04:01] <loller> Critical for gov backdoor also so they can see my pc offline and then harass me with microwave hearing / shock torture
[04:01] <Unforgiven> loller: beware, your gov has already implemented a chip in your body, to monitor your move
[04:02] <loller> They dont need a chip for that
[04:02] <loller> However they  did abduct me
[04:02] <Unforgiven> loller: you can install TOR on your brain to anonymize it
[04:02] <loller> They implied i would hallucinate on dexedrine.
[04:02] <loller> And forced and injection
[04:03] <loller> after which i blacked out
[04:03] <loller> ~ 1 hour later
[04:03] <loller> i awoke.
[04:03] <gaffa> It's not like we need computers... turn it off and experience the real world :)
[04:03] <loller> but dexedrine causes sobriety.  anyway since then ive been getting microwaved.
[04:03] <loller> shocked and tortured for using linux
[04:04] <loller> sorry for changing topic please see remote neural monitoring
[04:04] <loller> and electronic harassment
[04:05] <loller> thank you for help with BIOS
[04:05] <puppylinux2> no problem
[04:09] <loller> im still unable to access the vmware networking interface after installing open vm tools before install
[04:10] <puppylinux2> seems like some problem with software codes.
[04:10] <loller> ive been procrastinating building my own kernel
[04:10] <loller> If theres not an easy fix i guess i will
[04:10] <Korny> Does the UEFI bios issue only affect OEM computers?
[04:11]  * Korny hasn't run into issues with newer computers but hasn't bought an OEM computer in a long while
[04:12] <Gallomimia> issue? i had no problems starting with uefi. are you talking about homebrewed kernels?
[04:15] <puppylinux2> Gallomimia: can you boot puppy linux on a UEFI computer?
[04:15] <Gallomimia> um, this is #ubuntu right? i don't even know what puppy linux is
[04:16] <puppylinux2> well its derived from ubuntu only, u can say its a part of ubuntu.
[04:17] <puppylinux2> loller: how to boot puppy linux on a UEFI computer?
[04:17] <Gallomimia> switch to legacy mode?
[04:17] <loller> Ya
[04:17] <pac1> Ya
[04:17] <puppylinux2> do you have to disabe secure boot too?
[04:18] <loller> Ya
[04:18] <puppylinux2> it will work with any linux , i mean any linux can boot on uefi computer?
[04:19] <loller> disable the UEFI
[04:21] <DF3D2> im having an issue I can't transfer anything with tftp and I need it to work for pxe boot it just times out but namp says port is open
[04:21] <DF3D2> ?
[04:21] <DF3D2> use tftpd-hpa
[04:27] <rickb> can someone help hey everyone, i have a bunch of episodes on my plex server, they aren't named properly so plex isn't scanning them.. they are named "101 - episode name" any idea how i could turn 101 into S1E1 using some sort of mass renaming commandline magic :)
[04:29] <user_> Hi, guys, I have clean installed Lubuntu 13.10 onto an old desktop today. I can run everything except an online video like you tube. The videos are mostly moving colors. I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player from the software too. I can't set any settings there, because the settings are distorted in Adobe Flash Player.
[04:30] <Beldar> user_, you installed the flash-plugin?
[04:31] <user_> yes from the software center
[04:31] <user_> at least it said I did. Is there a way to see if it's there?
[04:31] <Beldar> user_, You might try the lubuntu-restricted-extras that install flash other codecs and ms fonts, you can turn down the fonts if you want.
[04:32] <Beldar> installs*
[04:32] <user_> now, how do I get lubuntu-restricted-extras? Don't know linux too well.
[04:33] <Beldar> user_, in the terminal sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:33] <user_> o.k that's all?
[04:33] <gr33n7007h> user_,  try this sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree && sudo update-flashplugin-nonfree --install
[04:33] <Beldar> user_, To install yes, hard to say the exact problem but this is a good start.
[04:35] <treeprogram> Hi, I'm trying to connect to my friend's SSH server. He has PasswordAuthentication set to 'yes', and I know his user password, but when I enter it, it gives me this error message: Permission denied (publickey,password).
[04:35] <treeprogram> any pointers?
[04:36] <teward> treeprogram, did you specify their username when you use SSL (i.e. USER@ADDRESS or similar methods?)
[04:36] <user_> o.k. will try both of those      thanks!
[04:38] <treeprogram> teward: yes, I put USER@ADDRESS, got a response: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818309/
[04:38] <treeprogram> teward so I think it's connecting to the right address. The password just fails for some reason
[04:39] <puppylinux2> Beldar: how to boot ubuntu in UEFI computer?
[04:42] <nudoge> my keyboard and mouse keep dying.  I think its the nVidia card on my dell laptop.  ubuntu 13.10 64-bit
[04:45] <hitsujiTMO> nudoge: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:46]  * Gallomimia wishes pastebinit was installed by default :(
[04:47] <Beldar> Gallomimia, I believe it is after not sure which release.
[04:47] <hitsujiTMO> Gallomimia: it is in xubuntu and edubuntu
[04:47] <cody_> how do I overclock GPU in ubuntu 12.04
[04:47] <Beldar> I was thinking of ppa-purge rather
[04:48] <user_> I put in "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras" into the terminal but still not good online video reception.
[04:49] <Beldar> user_, Have you tried other videos are they all a problem? I wonder if the memory and chip is up for the task as well.
[04:50] <anonee_mouse> someone told me that if you delete system32 it makes your computer faster, but `rm -rf /system32/` didn't work. what do?
[04:50] <hitsujiTMO> anonee_mouse: please troll elsewhere
[04:50] <anonee_mouse> what?
[04:51] <user_> ya maybe the memory and chip is not up for the task.  I'll try other videos too. thanks.
[04:51] <Beldar> anonee_mouse, A more powerful computer is the answer generally, if there is not inherent problem.
[04:51] <Gallomimia> there is no /system32 dir. that's from windows
[04:51] <anonee_mouse> so there is no possible way to delete the bloat in system32 in ubuntu?
[04:51] <Gallomimia> there's no bloat there
[04:52] <user_> Is there a way to increase my computers memory?
[04:52] <Beldar> bloat ia a noob term it means nothing in details
[04:53] <Beldar> is*
[04:53] <anonee_mouse> oh wait, i just asked on another channel. it's actually just `/`. well i got the help i need, bye
[04:53] <Gallomimia> !troll
[04:53] <Beldar> anonee_mouse / is rather important it is root do not rm rf it
[04:53] <anonee_mouse> uhh why is my computer freezing up
[04:53] <Gallomimia> do not feed the trolls :(
[04:54] <hitsujiTMO> user_: buy more ram
[04:54] <Beldar> Gallomimia, Please do not go to name calling.
[04:54] <Gallomimia> hehe. alright. just ask him to stop trolling then
[04:54] <hitsujiTMO> user_: or increase the swap partition (not the best method if you are running out of ram frequently)
[04:55] <anonee_mouse> hmm it just had a kernel panic, thanks #lunix for the advice!
[04:55] <Beldar> Gallomimia, That is a projected opinion, keep it off the channel.
[04:55] <anonee_mouse> well never gonna go there again
[04:55] <user_> Increase the swap partition? I thought it was best to decrease swap for an older computer?
[04:55] <Gallomimia> anonee_mouse: to be fair, they told you not to execute an rm -rf on / it's not healthy for any computer
[04:55] <user_> or is that what you're saying?
[04:55] <Gallomimia> swap should be as big as you need it
[04:56] <hitsujiTMO> user_: can you pastebin the output of: free -m
[04:56] <Gallomimia> user_: did you view your memory allocation in top ?
[04:56] <Gallomimia> yes. free -m is good to pastebin
[04:56] <anonee_mouse> even windows/dos computers?
[04:56] <user_> I forget how to pastebin.
[04:56] <Gallomimia>  free -m | pastebinit
[04:56] <DF3D2> I can't seem to get nfs to show exports
[04:56] <Beldar> !pastebin
[04:57] <hitsujiTMO> user_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && free -m | pastebinit
[04:57] <user_> o.k.
[04:57] <DF3D2> I can't seem to get nfs to show exports -- showmount ip    -- on client doesn't show anything but I have an /etc/exports setup
[04:57] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: showmount -e ip
[04:58] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered
[04:58] <user_> I forget where that vertical line is on the key board.
[04:59] <hitsujiTMO> user_: beside 1 or z. but could be elsewhere
[04:59] <Gallomimia> it's usually shift backslash
[04:59] <Gallomimia> mine is left of enter right of quotes. i prefer when it's above enter right of square brackets
[05:00] <apb1963> How can I tell which libraries a program is using - and intends to update - prior to the update?
[05:00] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, something seems to be wrong with my nfs install
[05:00] <Gallomimia> apb1963: usually all packages which are being updated will be listed when you use the command line version
[05:00] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: thats a normal error if you dont specify any arguements.  hmmm
[05:02] <apb1963> Gallomimia: I'm using muon update manager to handle system updates
[05:02] <user_> I can't find the darn vertical line!
[05:02] <bazhang> user_, right above enter
[05:02] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, showmount "ip" doesn't return anything even though ive got stuff exported
[05:02] <DF3D2> and nfs is running
[05:02] <user_> got it    I'll be back
[05:02] <bazhang> user_, shift \ to get |
[05:03] <jrib> apb1963: what do you mean by "the update"?
[05:03] <user_> oh
[05:03] <bazhang> user_, its called 'pipe'
[05:03] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: you need to add -e to see the exports. try restarting the nfsd on the server
[05:03] <Gallomimia> ah. i drastically hate the graphical update manager :/
[05:03] <user_> it's called pipe   o.k.
[05:03] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I have restarted it :-(
[05:03] <apb1963> jrib: When the package manager tells me there are updates
[05:04] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, now it works all the sudden
[05:04] <DF3D2> lol.
[05:04] <jrib> apb1963: does in not list the packages it wants to update?
[05:04] <DF3D2> rebooting it didnt seem to help but sudo exportfs -ra did
[05:04] <DF3D2> lets see if my pxe boot will work now... brb
[05:06] <apb1963> jrib: it does.  My question is what are the specific libraries it intends to update.
[05:06] <jrib> apb1963: what do you want more than the package names?
[05:06] <hitsujiTMO> apb1963: the libs are listed in the updates.
[05:07] <user_> o.k. I  put in "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && free -m | pastebinit"  Now, what am I supposed to do? This is about online video distortion.
[05:07] <hitsujiTMO> apb1963: if there's no libs listed, there's no libs being updated
[05:07] <hitsujiTMO> user_: that produces a url, write the url here
[05:08] <user_> o.k.         http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818353/
[05:08] <hitsujiTMO> user_: might as well run: lspci -knn | pastebinit                    and give us the url for that too
[05:09] <loki__> hey guys, quick question.  suppose I have a directory with 10 zip files in it.  Is there a command I can run from the CLI that will allow me to unzip all those files without me having to type each file name?
[05:09] <loki__> basically I want the program to look in a directory and if it finds a zip file, unzip it.
[05:09] <hitsujiTMO> user_: are you trying to play flash vids?
[05:09] <Gallomimia> uhm. help. my mouse cursor is invisible!
[05:09] <jrib> loki__: use a for loop.  Here is an example: for file in *.zip; do echo "$file"; done
[05:10] <Gallomimia> i just rebooted my system after a nasty hang up. i was opening system prefs after changing my monitor's connection. my video card hates me :(
[05:10] <user_> ummm you know, like YouTube or Wimp, any online videos.
[05:10] <hitsujiTMO> loki__: unzip /path/to/dir/*.zip
[05:10] <Gallomimia> if you computer is too slow to play youtube uninstall flash and rely upon html5 or use keepvid.com to download your videos and play them with mplayer or vlc or similar
[05:10] <hypercube32> glob works with unzip correct?
[05:10] <Gallomimia> instead of keepvid.com there's many firefox plugins that do similar
[05:11] <Gallomimia> Flash Video Downloader at al
[05:11] <user_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818375/
[05:11] <hypercube32> youtube-dl
[05:11] <jrib> hypercube32: no
[05:11] <DF3D2> okay so I can mount the NFS pxe root, but if I try to boot via PXE it says /dev/nfs doesn't exist...... Here is my command line
[05:11] <Gallomimia> hypercube32: what's that?
 rebooting it didnt seem to help but sudo exportfs -ra did
[05:11] <DF3D2> * zz_megabitdragon (~mbit@c-75-64-209-170.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has joined #ubuntu
[05:11] <DF3D2> * zz_megabitdragon has quit (Client Quit)
 lets see if my pxe boot will work now... brb
[05:11] <FloodBot1> DF3D2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <DF3D2>  
[05:12] <loki__> hitsujiTMO: thanks
[05:12] <hypercube32> Gallomimia, http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/bash-extended-globbing
[05:12] <hypercube32> that can explain it better than i can
[05:12] <jrib> loki__: I don't believe unzip accepts globs to multiple archives
[05:12] <loki__> hmm
[05:12] <DF3D2> lol sorry....
[05:12] <DF3D2> idk how that happened
[05:12] <loki__> jrib: yeah it didn't work.
[05:12] <jrib> loki__: use a for loop
[05:13] <hitsujiTMO> user_: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
[05:13] <Gallomimia> i'm interested in reading about youtube-dl but having trouble cause my mouse cursor is not visible!
[05:13] <loki__> jrib: as a script?
[05:13] <Gallomimia> any help?
[05:13] <jrib> loki__: just write a for loop in one line, on your prompt
[05:13] <Gallomimia> argh. any suggestions to do with command line?
[05:13] <Gallomimia> cause clicking anything on screen is incredibly difficult
[05:13] <hypercube32> Gallomimia, oh sorry thought you ment globbing
[05:13] <DF3D2> anyway Im trying to PXE boot and I can mount my pxe NFS share just fine in ubuntu -- but when I go to pxe boot it says It can't find /dev/nfs -- here is my command line stuff DEFAULT vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic root=/dev/nfs initrd=initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic nfsroot=192.168.1.200:/miners/1 ip=dhcp rw
[05:14] <user_> model name	: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz
[05:14] <Gallomimia> just going to shutdown and let the system cool for a minute
[05:14] <hypercube32> Gallomimia, http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
[05:14] <shreezbot> Is there a good way to audit my home Ubuntu machine to see how secure it is?  I know there are tools you can buy for the Enterprise, but is there anything like it for home users?
[05:15] <loki__> jrib: for file in *.zip; do echo "$file"; done <- that was your example.  should $file be changed to something else?
[05:15] <jrib> loki__: probably not
[05:16] <hitsujiTMO> user_: i think its just your cpu/gpu mix can't candle the vid
[05:16] <user_> o.k. I think so. It's seems kinda old. Thanks for your time though!
[05:16] <loki__> jrib: so if I paste that, it should work as long as I am in the directory with the zip files?
[05:17] <jrib> loki__: it will echo back the names of zip files in the current directory
[05:17] <loki__> that it did
[05:17] <loki__> lol
[05:18] <jrib> loki__: if you want to "unzip" instead of "echo" the file...
[05:18] <loki__> that's what I was just about to type.  you beat me to it :D
[05:18] <Gallomimia> that's better
[05:19] <mikubuntu> so i installed compiz via software center, and something called compiz fusion, but i don't see any available effects appearing -- the only thing that appeared in the menu was a compiz fusion icon that does 'nothing' when clickd
[05:19] <mikubuntu> what happened to all the snazzy compiz features?
[05:20] <hitsujiTMO> mikubuntu: what desktop environment are you using?
[05:20] <mikubuntu> i guess xfce, ubuntu-studio hitsujiTMO
[05:21] <OerHeks> you might want the compiz-plugin-extra package
[05:21] <Gallomimia> sick. thanks hypercube32
[05:21] <hitsujiTMO> mikedevita: you need to install the compiz config control manager. by default compiz should come with a unity based configuration. so you'd need to activate what you need
[05:21] <mikedevita> oh i do?
[05:22] <mikedevita> that was random
[05:22] <mikedevita> lmao
[05:22] <hitsujiTMO> mikubuntu: ^^^^
[05:22] <hitsujiTMO> mikubuntu: its compizconfig-settings-manager
[05:22] <hitsujiTMO> mikedevita: sorry
[05:22] <mikedevita> hitsujiTMO: its okay lol, was funny :P
[05:25] <zerkzerkzerk> I've recently installed 12.04 and a weird error has come up. Whenever I log in, the background does this thing: http://www.marcofolio.net/images/stories/programming/webdesign/winxp_error/winxp_error_nostalgia.png
[05:26] <loki__> jrib: that worked.  thanks!
[05:26] <mikubuntu> so the software center saying that i have installed compizconfig-settings-manager hitsujiTMO
[05:26] <mikubuntu> but it doesn't appear in menus
[05:26] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: your background isn't getting rerendered. were you playing with compiz fusion?
[05:26] <hitsujiTMO> mikubuntu: run ccsm
[05:27] <zerkzerkzerk> This problem occurred when some problems with encrypted swap cropped up. It was similar to the problem described here: http://punygeek.blogspot.com/2012/10/ubuntu-1204-how-to-solve-disk-drive-for.html
[05:28] <zerkzerkzerk> I had to add a sleep to /etc/rc.local before it stopped saying it couldn't mount the disk drive.
[05:28] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: I don't believe so.
[05:28] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: does the problem occur for other user accounts? such as guest?
[05:29] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: yes it does (just confirmed this)
[05:29] <zerkzerkzerk> Looking closely, it seems to be rerendering, just very slowly
[05:29] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: can you pastebin the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:31] <StarOnD> Hi, my usb keyboard works intermittently. I got a message that someone may be eavesdropping on my ubuntu. any tips ?
[05:32] <zarey> wow
[05:32] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: where did you get this message?
[05:32] <StarOnD> when I started my computer
[05:32] <StarOnD> in a pop up window
[05:33] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: reinstall ubuntu then
[05:33] <StarOnD> also ,many a time when I type it repeats the letter being typed many times / it scrolls like crazy when I click on any mnu
[05:34] <StarOnD> *menu
[05:34] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: what was the exact message?
[05:34] <StarOnD> dont recall
[05:34] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/AVWRPxJ6
[05:35] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && top -n1 | pastebinit
[05:36] <StarOnD> http://pastebin.com/WMmjxNUu
[05:38] <StarOnD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818466/
[05:43] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: i see nothing overly suspicious. can you get up the exact wording of the message please
[05:43] <StarOnD> I dont know how to recreate it :(
[05:44] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: does it happen on every reboot?
[05:45] <StarOnD> no
[05:45] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: nothing there :( not sure which package is the cause
[05:45] <StarOnD> but the usb keyboard being stuck happens each tmie
[05:45] <StarOnD> *time
[05:46] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: How strange. Is there a package doctor of sorts I can run? Reset to default?
[05:46] <zerkzerkzerk> My main fear is that something *worse* is going on as well but I don't know what it is and won't until it just stops working one day.
[05:47] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: nope. you'd need to track down the package thats causing it. maybe look for errors in ~/.xsession-errors or /var/log/syslog
[05:47] <ddel> What causes screen flicker in Xwindows?
[05:48] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: only way to be sure is a reinstall
[05:48] <StarOnD> how do I do that without deleting my data ?
[05:49] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: has anyone had access to your machine before this happened?
[05:49] <StarOnD> no
[05:49] <zerkzerkzerk> Huh. The line "(gnome-terminal:3081): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_add_weak_pointer: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed" shows up a lot in ~/.xsession-errors
[05:49] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: did you run any dodgy software or scripts?
[05:49] <StarOnD> I did sudo ufw enable 30 minutes ago
[05:49] <StarOnD> i dont know much about firewalls
[05:50] <StarOnD> no I dont think I did anything like that ( dodgy tools )
[05:50] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: thats a common error. can be safely ignored
[05:51] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list && cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | pastebinit
[05:51] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I cant find anything that helps with this error nfs is correctly configured but still cant boot pxe, just says /dev/nfs not found
[05:52] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: Checked both xsession-errors and syslog. Nothing is jumping out. Damn.
[05:53] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: how exactly did you install and setup nfs on the server?
[05:53] <StarOnD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818508/
[05:53] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: you don't have a firewall blocking the ports do you?
[05:53] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I know nfs works cause I can mount the share in regular ubuntu
[05:54] <DF3D2> just fine
[05:54] <DF3D2> no, no firewall
[05:54] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: How odd. If I have emacs running the background, it is fine and everything looks good. If it is just the empty desktop though, the space doesn't get rerendered.
[05:55] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: there should be a second url
[05:55] <[HUN]bitvilag> hey
[05:55] <StarOnD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818511/
[05:55] <[HUN]bitvilag> everyone
[05:55] <[HUN]bitvilag> i need some help
[05:55] <[HUN]bitvilag> help
[05:55] <FloodBot1> [HUN]bitvilag: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:55] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: is whats rendering the desktop is the issue, or something in the stack
[05:56] <[HUN]bitvilag> well its actually with cisco phone
[05:56] <demian> [HUN]bitvilag, Iḿ calling 911. Where's the fire?
[05:56] <[HUN]bitvilag> lol
[05:56] <[HUN]bitvilag> :D
[05:56] <[HUN]bitvilag> its in hungary budapest hurry I cant hold on for long
[05:56] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, im seeing something about my kernel needing to be configged some how to use nfs as root
[05:57] <[HUN]bitvilag> so anyone with experince TFTP server and cisco
[05:57] <[HUN]bitvilag> ?
[05:57] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: i'd put my money on one of your ppas being the cause.
[05:57] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: What do you mean by stack? The only problem is that when something gets rendered to the desktop, an afterimage stays there. If I have emacs running as the "background" the screen looks totally fine without any problems. Empty screen with no windows though and there is a trail of windows and menus for a seconds behind everything I do.
[05:58] <StarOnD> hitsuji, so what can i do?
[05:58] <demian> How does FloodBot1  figure one should use paste.ubuntu.com in an IRC channel?
[05:58] <pvl1> should i use the ubuntu kernel sources instead of kernel.org's?
[05:58] <pvl1> for compiling my own kernel
[05:58] <StarOnD> is there a reinstall ubuntu from CLI command?
[05:59] <[HUN]bitvilag> CISCO expert --> wake up:)
[05:59] <hitsujiTMO> StarOnD: no. you'd have to reinstall from a cd
[05:59] <julian112> how do i install latest gtk lib in ubuntu?
[05:59] <Beldar> demian, It is sentient
[05:59] <StarOnD> hmmm ok
[05:59] <demian> I know its a bot, but the info is flawed isnt it
[06:00] <julian112> please help?
[06:00] <zerkzerkzerk> hitsujiTMO: This is the weirdest shit. I changed my desktop background and it renders fine now.
[06:00] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: as in any app thats involved in the rendering process could be misconfigured
[06:01] <pvl1> julian112: apt-get install libgtk ?
[06:01] <pvl1> !gtk | julian112
[06:01] <julian112> pvll:ok thanks.
[06:01] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I just did sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server and setup /etc/exports
[06:01] <hitsujiTMO> zerkzerkzerk: i guess that in essence reset the config for what was causing the problem
[06:01] <zerkzerkzerk> I'm going to guess that somehow ubuntu didn't actually have a background image or a default.
[06:02] <zerkzerkzerk> And so it was just a "clear" buffer. So whenever it was asked to rerender the desktop, nothing would happen because there was nothing to write.
[06:02] <julian112> pvll:it's not working..
[06:03] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: hmm, that error that you were getting would suggest that the nfs server wasn't running.
[06:03] <zerkzerkzerk> Strange. Thanks for all the help!
[06:03] <Beldar> demian, think of the bot bas a teacher to rap your knuckles when misbehavior happens.
[06:03] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, it is though
[06:03] <Beldar> as*
[06:04] <pvl1> julian112: what makes u say that
[06:04] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, port 2049
[06:04] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, like I said in ubuntu I can mount shares no problem
[06:04] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: have you restarted nfs-kernel-server ?
[06:04] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, yes
[06:04] <pvl1> !libgtk
[06:05] <pvl1> julian112: what are you trying to do
[06:05] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: as in you can mount shares locally on the server or which?
[06:05] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I can mount shares from the server on my laptop client
[06:05] <DF3D2> as in it seems to work fine
[06:05] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: but you cant showmount -e ?
[06:05] <free_lasagna> hi
[06:06] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I can
[06:06] <free_lasagna>  i do sudo echo "deb [...] contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list and i get "permission denied" even though i use sudo . anyone know why that is?
[06:06] <DF3D2> it works fine
[06:06] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: then which isn't working now then?
[06:06] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, im trying to do a PXE boot
[06:07] <DF3D2> to setup some rigs, but it complains /dev/nfs doesn't exist
[06:07] <pvl1> oh god
[06:07] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: ahh kk
[06:07] <pvl1> ive NEVER gotten pxr to fully work right
[06:07] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, but nfs IS working
[06:07] <DF3D2> so i dont get it
[06:07] <demian> Hey guys. I removed Empathy from Synaptic package manager, and my status bar still shows that envelope icon with "Available, Away, Busy" stuff... How do I get rid of that? (But I like the xchat notification there)
[06:08] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: whats the pxeconfig line?
[06:08] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818551/ I just added the "boot=nfs" part cause someone said it helped them, havent tried it yet"
[06:09] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, gonna try this brb a sec
[06:09] <pvl1> the fabled pxe boot
[06:09] <demian> Should I delete empathy-common as well?
[06:10] <pvl1> actually, i lied, i got it to work, just not with a livecd
[06:11] <hitsujiTMO> free_lasagna: debian support is in #debian
[06:11] <longviewbits> If you've created a udev rule, is simply restarting the udev service sufficient, for the new device to be recognized? or do you have to reboot the machine?
[06:12] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: did it work?
[06:12] <DF3D2> nope
[06:12] <DF3D2> that made it kernel panic
[06:12] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: same serror?
[06:12] <wrenny2> can anyone help me get Ubuntu to detect my other display (HDTV on hdmi)
[06:12] <pvl1> wrenny2: xrandr
[06:13] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, this is stumping me
[06:13] <DF3D2> I know this kernel has nfs support
[06:13] <wrenny2> I'm a total noon to Ubuntu tho
[06:13] <wrenny2> noob
[06:13] <pvl1> wrenny2: open a terminal and type randr and hit enter
[06:13] <pvl1> wait
[06:13] <pvl1> wrenny2: what is ur ultimate goal
[06:13] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: and the nfs address is correct?
[06:14] <wrenny2> to see my PC on either or Monitor or TV
[06:14] <pvl1> wrenny2: what version ubuntu are you on
[06:14] <wrenny2> 1204
[06:14] <wrenny2> i think
[06:14] <xtalmath> I have an offline computer and copied the urls for the packages it tried to download. I downloaded them on an online computer. I transferred them with usb. how do I make apt-get use the downloaded packages from the commandline?
[06:14] <pvl1> uname -r in a terminal
[06:14] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, yes
[06:15] <pvl1> oops, wrenny2 i meant lsb-release -a
[06:15] <pvl1> boy im getting tired
[06:15] <Robbie> Can anyone here halp with a camera problem?
[06:15] <pvl1> wrenny2: run lsb-release -a in a terminal
[06:16] <qin_> xtalmath: sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb
[06:16] <xtalmath> qin_ one by one?
[06:16] <xtalmath> in which order?
[06:16] <wrenny2> forgot how to get to term  :(
[06:16] <KI7MT> Ctrl+Alt+T && lsb_release -a
[06:17] <pvl1> thanks KI7MT
[06:17] <ddel> What causes screen flicker in Xwindows?What is the config file for the Xwin display?
[06:18] <qin_> xtalmath: well, since dpkg do not handle dependecies... what packages you have there and did you check if you have all dependencies sorted?
[06:19] <wrenny2> no ldb modules avail
[06:19] <wrenny2> lsb
[06:19] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: you forgot the -a flag
[06:19] <xtalmath> well, the list of debs was generated by apt-get... now I did dpkg -i *.deb (so I specify all at once) it seemed to work
[06:20] <allstarsnorks2> Guys, what does 'Registered GHD80211 phy' mean?
[06:20] <wrenny2> did
[06:20] <trollboy> I'm building a test ubuntu server, is 13.10 dominate enough yet that I should choose that, or is 12.04 still what everyone's building off of these days?
[06:20] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: lsb_release -a
[06:20] <wrenny2> yup
[06:20] <pvl1> wrenny2: sudo lsb_release -a
[06:20] <pvl1> not lsb-release
[06:21] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: cat /etc/issue
[06:21] <allstarsnorks2> I have message 'Registered GHD80211 phy' popping out for around 5 seconds during boot. What does it mean?
[06:22] <gr33n7007h> allstarsnorks2, looks like it's registered a wireless NIC
[06:22] <gr33n7007h> but i maybe wrong
[06:23] <allstarsnorks2> Then there is the kdm: bios disabled message
[06:23] <Ronie> ubuntu's channel is always very busy.
[06:23] <allstarsnorks2> No it's disabled by bios
[06:23] <wrenny2> no lsb modules found
[06:23] <allstarsnorks2> kdm: disabled by bios message
[06:24] <hitsujiTMO> allstarsnorks2: gr33n7007h is correct. its registered the mac of a wireless adapter
[06:24] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: cat /etc/issue
[06:24] <allstarsnorks2> Hmm. Okay.
[06:24] <pvl1> wrenny2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ_N-mQCmIc
[06:24] <Thor446> Im trying to uninstall Ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to exist in my BIOS anymore, and I can't format from windows (because it's ext4); would a debian install overwrite it?

[06:27] <pvl1> wrenny2: if hdmi cable is plugged in, that should see it. do u see it when you run randr
[06:27] <wrenny2> might I have to install some nvidia drivers?
[06:27] <pvl1> wrenny2: xrandr
[06:27] <wrenny2> whats the exact command
[06:27] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: can you pastebin the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:28] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: it should detect by default
[06:28] <wrenny2> paste here?

[06:35] <pvl1> ls

[06:35] <abhinavmehta> hitsujiTMO: its on my server and can access using SSH only
[06:35] <abhinavmehta> no gui..
[06:36] <hitsujiTMO> abhinavmehta: transmission-daemon   has a lovely web interface
[06:36] <abhinavmehta> is it? lemme check than
[06:36] <hitsujiTMO> transmission-cli if you want terminal only
[06:37] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:37] <abhinavmehta> hitsujiTMO alright, I'll check out. Thanks

[06:39] <wrenny2> handy util
[06:39] <pvl1> hes got xinerma
[06:39] <pvl1> xinerama
[06:40] <pvl1> hitsujiTMO: ^
[06:40] <wrenny2> well The vid card has 2 ports for hdmi maybe I have to connect it to the other one
[06:40] <wrenny2> i think it has 2
[06:40] <wrenny2> heh
[06:40] <abhinavmehta> hitsujiTMO: transmission-daemon runs on which port?
[06:41] <wrenny2> oh um I have 2 vid cards in SLI each with an HDMI port
[06:41] <qin_> abhinavmehta: rtorrent or deluge (deamon)
[06:41] <wrenny2> maybe Ubuntu lilkes only one of them?
[06:42] <abhinavmehta> qin_: Now I'm on transmission-daemon, installed, started the daemon but don't know which port it would show up..
[06:42] <abhinavmehta> don't want to install mmap on my machine..
[06:42] <abhinavmehta> *nmap
[06:42] <qin_> abhinavmehta: hm... netstat -tulp to see what is listening, or read (edit) config before starting service
[06:43] <abhinavmehta> alright
[06:43]  * pvl1 nods
[06:43] <Diplomatico> Hello, I used the mv command to a .iso file and now it shows as a .bin in the files manager!!
[06:43] <evilfix> default transmission web gui port is 9091 i believe
[06:43] <pvl1> Diplomatico: what was the command u used
[06:43] <hitsujiTMO> abhinavmehta: defined /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
[06:43] <abhinavmehta> evilfix: thank you!
[06:43] <Diplomatico> mv
[06:43] <abhinavmehta> hitsujiTMO: ok..
[06:43] <pvl1> mv alone does nothing. i meant full command
[06:43] <Diplomatico> Ok, wait...
[06:44] <gr33n7007h>  
[06:44] <hitsujiTMO> pvl1: wrenny2 well i know nothing of Xinerama so i'll be of no help
[06:44] <Diplomatico> I used a lot, but i think the one was:   mv backbox-3.13-i386.iso backbox
[06:44] <pvl1> does nvidia have to use xinerama? thats my point hitsujiTMO i think it should be disabled and should use randr
[06:44] <Diplomatico> Is it possible, or I did something else wrong?
[06:45] <pvl1> Diplomatico: probably not. simply rename the file see if it works
[06:45] <pvl1> wrenny2: can you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:45] <Diplomatico> Using rename command, isn't it?
[06:45] <wrenny2> i got it to show up now that I connect to other card
[06:45] <pvl1> oh
[06:45] <wrenny2> :P
[06:46] <pvl1> win!
[06:46] <wrenny2> I have to mess with it now
[06:46] <wrenny2> mirror or whatever
[06:46] <wrenny2> wonder if there's a key combo to swich displays like windows?
[06:46] <Onixs_> mhey, a quick Q…. how do you reverse  like "1234" to "3412". its easy if there are separators, but this one doesn't have it
[06:50] <wrenny2> pfft now how to get my wireless keyboard and mouse working  Logitech mouse and keys on that universal wireless stuff
[06:51] <apb1963> I apparently have four different versions of the libqtcore4 package installed.   I can't help but wonder if this is in any way normal?  http://ix.io/a7Z and if not, then how to correct?
[06:52] <Diplomatico> Thank you, pvl1, renaming solved it.But I find quite awkward that the mv command functions as a move and a rename command as well...
[06:52] <Diplomatico> I just want to move the file to a directory...
[06:52] <Gallomimia> hi. i'm trying to remove wine1.6 package from my system. but it says it will remove a whole lot of other packages which are not okay to remove. how can i get it to skip some of those?
[06:53] <qin_> Onixs_: echo kayak | rev
[06:53] <Onixs_> qin_ that will reverse the whole string. look at my e.g.
[06:53] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: what exact keyboard is it, and what of it isn't working?
[06:54] <wrenny2> hm Logitech no support for Ubuntu I guess I'm screwed
[06:54] <wrenny2> Wireless Combo MK260
[06:54] <wrenny2> M/N: Y-R0015
[06:55] <wrenny2> nothing works
[06:55] <wrenny2> wireless
[06:55] <qin_> Onixs_: you want to reverse, a word?
[06:55] <Onixs_> yes
[06:56] <Onixs_> a number actually… change 1234 to 3412
[06:56] <qin_> echo 1234567890 | rev
[06:56] <qin_> tada?
[06:56] <wrenny2> I'm reading there may be a plugin to make it work?
[06:57] <Onixs_> qin_ no
[06:57] <qin_> hm?
[06:58] <gr33n7007h> qin_, 3412 is not reversed
[06:58] <Onixs_> revers by two
[06:58] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: can you: dmesg | pastebinit
[06:58] <Onixs_> gr33n7007h how do you that if its not revers?
[06:58] <Onixs_> say*
[06:58] <wrenny2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818693/
[06:59] <gr33n7007h> Onixs_, #bash will tell you
[06:59] <qin_> Onixs_, gr33n7007h, time to surrender...
[06:59] <Onixs_> thanks for the effort qin_  :)
[06:59] <qin_> I have completly missed 3412...
[07:00] <wrenny2> yo hitsujiTMO
[07:01] <wrenny2> I changed to device to another usb port... working now  :)
[07:01] <wrenny2> didnt like it on the side of my monitor
[07:01] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: cool. was seeing a lot of: usb 1-6.3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
[07:02] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: and: hub 1-6:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 3
[07:02] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: prob an issue with that port/hub so
[07:03] <wrenny2> I'll paste it again with the device location changed
[07:03] <liaise> anybody know of a guide to using two wireless NICs + ubuntu to act as a router?

[07:04] <Dureiken> Hi there, could someone help me to do a little daemon to start/stop/restart a service at launching ubuntu ? Thanks a lot :)
[07:05] <wrenny2> do I need to install Nvidia drivers or is that included when you do Ubuntu updates?
[07:06] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : do you have some minutes to loose ? :p
[07:06] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: 'sup?
[07:06] <Dureiken> fine, begin to see the end of tunnel :p thanks to you a lot
[07:07] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : I just would like to create a start/stop/restart daemon for my program
[07:08] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: usb 2-2: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ohci_hcd      that port is using a different usb host controller. how odd
[07:08] <wrenny2> I have an old floppy with usb on it
[07:08] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: 2 options. sys v script or an upstart config.
[07:08] <wrenny2> not connected though
[07:09] <wrenny2> and a usb cable run to my monitor
[07:09] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : dunno both :p I remember I did some kind of stuff in init.d repertory
[07:10] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: what type of app? whats the command to launch it? what user does it need to run as?
[07:11] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : it's a .sh scrypt, no root necessary and I just launch it by : ./lancer.sh
[07:11] <Dureiken> and it launch a screen -dmS
[07:11] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: minecraft server ?
[07:11] <Dureiken> mining server
[07:11] <Dureiken> minecraft ws 1 year ago ! :)
[07:12] <Dureiken> was awesome
[07:12] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: ok. you'll prob need to run it as the same user
[07:12] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: how exactly do you stop it?
[07:13] <Dureiken> I have to screen and make Q
[07:13] <Dureiken> but I suppose a kill should be enought
[07:13] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: a kill wouldn't cause any damage?
[07:13] <Dureiken> no
[07:13] <Onixs_> gr33n7007h solved in #bash. Thanks man :)
[07:13] <Dureiken> I would use stop only when necessary
[07:14] <gr33n7007h> Onixs_, np :)
[07:15] <jellow> is there a backup program / script that uses md5sums recursively to backup files , I have lots of files that are the same but they do not share the same directory tree. ?
[07:15] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : http://pastebin.com/C6mFhA1a thats the scrypt on BAMT key but I don't like BAMT :)
[07:15] <Beldar> ff
[07:17] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : but I would something simplier
[07:18] <jellow> is there a way to find files based on their md5sums not filenames?
[07:25] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: whats the full path to the script, and what user do you normally run it as?
[07:25] <Dureiken> mineur
[07:25] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : /home/Mining/cgkalroth/lancer_minage.sh
[07:25] <Dureiken> and screen name is mineur
[07:25] <liaise> anybody know of a guide to using two wireless NICs + ubuntu to act as a router?
[07:26] <Guest59544> I have a weird issue? I have DHCP off in my router supposedly, but ubuntu is getting an IP address somehow.... in NETWORK CONNECTIONS it says it is set to use DHCP /etc/network/interfaces has no static ip set I don't understand this
[07:26] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: have you get it running now?
[07:26] <Dureiken> yes
[07:27] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: can you: ps -ax | pastebinit
[07:28] <Dureiken> i'm installing pastebinit
[07:28] <Dureiken> I did pastebin from my main computer
[07:28] <apb1963> Guest59544: DHCP in your router refers to your local area network.  If /etc/network/interfaces is set to use DHCP... and you're getting an IP address.... then you're good to go.
[07:29] <Guest59544> apb1963, I don't want it to work that way though
[07:29] <Guest59544> it doesn't even make sense
[07:29] <apb1963> Guest59544: what way do you want it to work?
[07:29] <Guest59544> it's supposed to be static
[07:29] <Guest59544> so i'd set an ip manually
[07:30] <apb1963> Guest59544: so change "dhcp" to "static" in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
[07:30] <Guest59544> if my router is set to turn dhcp off how is it pulling an ip anyway
[07:30] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces                 is this a server or desktop?
[07:31] <apb1963> Guest59544: I just explained it.
[07:31] <Guest59544> auto lo
[07:31] <Guest59544> iface lo inet loopback
[07:31] <Guest59544> idk what you think you explained but i'm on my local area network with dhcp off and I never told ubuntu an IP so how does it grab one?
[07:32] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : ps -ax | pastebinit gives me nothing because I copied from my main computer
[07:32] <apb1963> Guest59544: Once again...DHCP on your router refers to your LAN.  If you had multiple devices on your LAN that need to be allocated IPs... then you turn DHCP on your router on.
[07:32] <apb1963> Guest59544: If you do not have multiple devices then the setting has no effect.
[07:33] <Guest59544> I do have multiple devices
[07:33] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: what do you mean gives nothing?
[07:33] <apb1963> Guest59544: Then you need to provide them with static IPs if you have DHCP turned off on your router.
[07:33] <Guest59544> apparently not
[07:33] <Guest59544> maybe this router is just stupid because it shows them all as static -- but they all have ips I didnt assign
[07:33] <Dureiken> histujiTMO : on my ubuntu machine I didnt use pastebin
[07:34] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: is this a desktop or server?
[07:34] <Guest59544> desktop
[07:34] <apb1963> Guest59544: If all of your devices have IPs, then your ISP is probablyi allocating them.  Consider yourself lucky.  My ISP makes me pay $5 per extra IP.
[07:34] <Guest59544> lol
[07:34] <Guest59544> it's not my isp they are LAN ip's
[07:34] <apb1963> Example?
[07:35] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: then editing /etc/network/interfaces does nothing . network manager does it all. can you pastebin the output of: ifconfig
[07:35] <Guest59544> 192.168.104
[07:35] <Guest59544> http://pastebin.com/bT8XDTmG
[07:36] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: can you run: ps -ax                and get me the full output somehow   from the mining system
[07:36] <Guest59544> I have a switch but that doesnt hand out ips
[07:36] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: now, what is 192.168.1.104 ?   what device is that? is it the router?#
[07:37] <Guest59544> thats this machine
[07:37] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: doh
[07:38] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: i'm tired, sorry, should have asked for output of: ip route
[07:38] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : http://pastebin.com/iWKj3QGv sorry I didn't understand
[07:38] <Guest59544> default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0  proto static
[07:38] <Guest59544> 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.104  metric 1
[07:40] <hitsujiTMO> Guest59544: so what device is 192.168.1.1 ?
[07:40] <Guest59544> the router
[07:40] <hitsujiTMO> then thats still giving out ips. you haven't disabled dhcp
[07:40] <Guest59544> well it claims it is disabled
[07:40] <Guest59544> and it even shows "static" in the config page
[07:41] <apb1963> Guest59544: screen print
[07:42] <Guest59544> let me try rebooting it brb
[07:43] <gr33n7007h> hitsujiTMO, Are you Irish?
[07:43] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: will this be the only instance of screen running?
[07:43] <hitsujiTMO> gr33n7007h: yessum
[07:43] <hitsujiTMO> gr33n7007h: why?
[07:43] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : yes except in case of problem
[07:44] <Dureiken> maybe a start should not launch it if theres already an instance
[07:45] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: can you pastebin the miner script. that will need some changes
[07:46] <Dureiken> ok
[07:46] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : pastebin.com/9L9JR4vR
[07:46] <Dureiken> there may be more than 1 screen running
[07:47] <Dureiken> but only one mining session
[07:47] <Aslaville> fuck mining
[07:59] <jirido> Hi can someone knowing say me whats wrong whith this: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw,exec,noatime /dev/sdb3 /home/jirido/flugan/ It refuses to mount r/w and the journaling is off
[08:00] <jirido> i have commented the partition out in fstab.. do i need to restart something?
[08:02] <Dureiken> HitsujiTMO : sorry file wasn't full : http://pastebin.com/d9nzsVD4 here is the good version
[08:03] <jirido> Ok -a i found it
[08:07] <helmut_> hi
[08:12] <wrenny2> The only thing I found that doesn't work in the wireless mouse is the center scroll wheel it won't responde to left/right  forward/back rocker...
[08:13] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818918/
[08:13] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : oh thanks a lot, I have to put it in init.d ?
[08:14] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: no. thats to replace lancer_minage.sh
[08:14] <Dureiken> ok
[08:14] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: haven't gotten that far yet. need to test if that works
[08:15] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: so with that, you'd need to run: ./lancer_minage.sh start         or: ./lancer_minage.sh stop
[08:16] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: it should prevent more than 1 instance being run aswell
[08:16] <Dureiken> -bash: ./lancer_minage.sh: Permission denied
[08:16] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: chmod +x ir?
[08:17] <Dureiken> just did it :p
[08:17] <Dureiken> begin to learn :p
[08:17] <hitsujiTMO> :)
[08:18] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: that does a hard kill. you can pipe commands to the subshell, but that depends on if it the app will accept such commands to shut down cleanly
[08:18] <Dureiken> HitsujiTMO : There is no screen to be attached matching mineur.
[08:19] <Dureiken> maybe you want access to my ubuntu machine
[08:19] <Dureiken> would be easier and there nothing on it
[08:21] <guest-EXoHMI> time, please.
[08:21] <guest-EXoHMI> ? << i did that, not (.) << that
[08:22] <guest-EXoHMI> memory is a danger...
[08:22] <isosceles> phy
[08:22] <guest-EXoHMI> how much phy?
[08:23] <isosceles> ?
[08:23] <isosceles> typo...
[08:23] <guest-EXoHMI> phy has quantity, so, how much quantity?
[08:23] <isosceles> omg
[08:23] <isosceles> i have no money
[08:23] <isosceles> i'm a beggar
[08:23] <guest-EXoHMI> good, me neither.
[08:23] <isosceles> *hi5*
[08:25] <wrenny2> where do you see recently added apps or utils
[08:26] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: ok, so for what command do you get that error?
[08:28] <Dureiken> start
[08:28] <Dureiken> HitsujiTMO : start :)
[08:28] <wrenny2> I just did:  sudo apt-get install easystroke
[08:29] <wrenny2> no how to config it?
[08:29] <wrenny2> or find it even
[08:29] <Dureiken> and stop doenst kill the screen I launched with previsou lancer_minage.sh
[08:29] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : just to precise : there can be many screen session but just one miner session
[08:30] <Devil> hi
[08:34] <huangya> -..-
[08:35] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: weird. works for me ok. will you stop you existing screen session. then try the commands again
[08:39] <Dureiken> nothing changes ?
[08:40] <Dureiken> that : mineur@mineur-03:~/Mining/cgminer-3.7.2-kalroth$ ./lancer_minage.sh start
[08:40] <Dureiken> mineur@mineur-03:~/Mining/cgminer-3.7.2-kalroth$ screen -x mineur
[08:40] <Dureiken> There is no screen to be attached matching mineur.
[08:40] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: screen -ls
[08:41] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : No Sockets found in /var/run/screen/S-mineur.
[08:44] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : I think I understand : it misses export display
[08:44] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: ahh, so it doesn't run.
[08:45] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: not sure how it can miss it tho
[08:45] <Dureiken> histujiTMO : thats the only difference between old and new scrypt
[08:45] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: but that should be in
[08:46] <hitsujiTMO> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6818918/ was the script
[08:46] <Dureiken> oh yes it's in in fact
[08:46] <Dureiken> yeah I saw
[08:46] <Dureiken> would you like to access my ubuntu machine ?
[08:46] <wrenny2> hitsujiTMO,  any idea how to get the tilt wheel working for forward/back functioning in a browser?
[08:46] <wrenny2> on this wireless mouse
[08:46] <hitsujiTMO> wrenny2: afraid not.
[08:47] <hitsujiTMO> Dureiken: lol, might make things easier
[08:47] <Dureiken> a lot
[08:47] <Dureiken> you have to accept PM for 5 minutes :p
[08:48] <wrenny2> trying to google, best I found was app called easystroke but doesnt work
[08:48] <hitsujiTMO> kk
[08:48] <Dureiken> hitsujiTMO : I sent you a PM
[08:52] <DF3D2> what is the correct way to remove kernels from grub, or set the one I want to boot I have been failing
[08:53] <DF3D2> if I do sudo apt-get remove linux-image*name and sudo update-grub it doesn't work
[08:53] <bekks> Define "doesnt work" please.
[08:53] <bekks> !details | DF3D2
[08:54] <DF3D2> bekks,  I boot grub it complains about the kernels I have removed
[08:54] <DF3D2> I want .12 to be default since .13 .14 .15 I have no usb mouse/keyboard functionalit
[08:55] <bekks> So whats the entire output of your kernel removal then?
[08:55] <bekks> DF3D2: Pastebin it please.
[08:55] <DF3D2> you mean what it says when I load grub or when I apt-get remove it?
[08:55] <DF3D2> it removes without error but says I might need to update grub basically
[08:55] <DF3D2> so I run sudo update-grub
[08:55] <DF3D2> but it still asks for them when i boot
[08:56] <bekks> DF3D2: Then pastebin the output of your kernel removal and update-grub.

[09:46] <ethermonk> thats up to you
[09:47] <ethermonk> this isnt some ancient machine is it?
[09:47] <ethermonk> if so, go xubuntu, otherwise go with what you like
[09:47] <tajamul> i mean out of which environment i can  get maximum ubuntu experience
[09:48] <ethermonk> install ubuntu-desktop from software center

[09:50] <ethermonk> i prefur ubuntu studio but thats just me, it better suits my needs, which likely are nothing like your needs
[09:51] <ethermonk> kubuntu on an atom. lot of time wasted in tiny slices here and there because it just wont keep up
[09:51] <tajamul> i found some posts where it was written to edit  etc/environment file
[09:52] <ethermonk> stick with xubuntu

[11:07] <Fily> could you give me some information about bugs?
[11:07] <Seveas> !bugs
[11:08] <Fily> in particular about open bugs, critical bugs and new bugs, thanks

[11:13] <BlackDalek> HELP! How do I make a CD burn in DAO mode?
[11:13] <Fily> Seveas, the priority is to solve critical bugs?
[11:14] <lotuspsychje> !info cdrdao | BlackDalek
[11:15] <Seveas> Fily: the priority is whatever people see as important.
[11:15] <lena> Welke opdracht moet ik gebruiken om alle beschikbare optie die nodig zijn om partities te beheren?
[11:16] <Fily> Seveas, if i see a bug i can add it to the list?
[11:16] <lena> Goede morgen trouwens
[11:16] <Seveas> Fily: yes
[11:16] <lotuspsychje> !nl | lena
[11:16] <BlackDalek> lotuspsychje, do I have to use command line to burn in dao? Is there no gui burner where I can configure for dao in settings?
[11:16] <lena> haha oke
[11:16] <lotuspsychje> BlackDalek: not sure mate, didnt use myself yet.. man cdrdao?
[11:17] <Fily> Seveas, what is your advice for beginners like me?
[11:19] <ncom0pl> Hey guys, I'm on Mint 16 Petra(sorry for asking about different distro, but ubuntu and mint are still close relatives) and when I'm trying to boot it with a lowlatency kernel it freezes during the process. Do you have any advices how to troubleshoot it?
[11:20] <Seveas> Fily: when you think you see a bug, ask in here or on askubuntu.com. If there is agreement that it's a bug, try to find it on launchpaaf. And if you can't find it, file a new bug.
[11:20] <Seveas> !mint | ncom0pl
[11:22] <BlackDalek> I am trying to burn some files to a CD-R in DAO mode. I have no toc-file or cue-file. How do I proceed?
[11:22] <Seveas> !repeat | BlackDalek
[11:22] <YamakasY> anyone using preseed with the puppet repo ?
[11:23] <Fily> Seveas, the problem is to understan clearly what is a bug
[11:23] <lotuspsychje> BlackDalek: few examples howto use here: http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/example.html
[11:23] <BlackDalek> Seveas... that was NOT a repeat question. That time I was asking about not having a toc or cue file
[11:24] <Wiz_KeeD> !benchmark
[11:24] <Wiz_KeeD> !testing
[11:24] <lotuspsychje> Wiz_KeeD: also try phoronix test suite
[11:24] <Seveas> Fily: a bug is a when a part of ubuntu does not behave as it should. Of course "behaving as it should" is up for interpretation, so if you see behaviour that you think is wrong, check with others and maybe report it as a bug.
[11:24] <Wiz_KeeD> lotuspsychje, wanting to try my ssd read/write speed without killing it
[11:25] <lotuspsychje> Wiz_KeeD: pm me
[11:25] <Seveas> Fily: e.g. refusing to boot after installing is clearly a bug, but the indexed causing massive disk i/o in its initial run is a feature.

[11:42] <FourFire> Hello, in 12.04 is there some way to have nautilus synch folders?
[11:43] <BlackDalek> TJ-, thank you.
[11:43] <FourFire> or some special script for such a thing?
[11:43] <Seveas> FourFire: sync between what?
[11:44] <FourFire> I have an application of which I have multiple installs of and these require separate folder trees, but I want to use the same files for each version
[11:44] <FourFire> and not have to copy& paste them manually
[11:44] <Seveas> so, symlink them?
[11:45] <FourFire> never heard of it, link?

[11:48] <Wiz_KeeD> Guys I have created two partitions for ubuntu, one mounted to / and one to /home, windows sees these partitions as empty and gives me the ability to format, can something be done to "hide" them?
[11:48] <cfhowlett> Wiz_KeeD, odd - my windows NEVER sees my ubuntu.  are you dual booting or wubi?
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> cfhowlett, dual booting of course but no wubi
[11:49] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: Did you format them using NTFS or FAT32 ?
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> TJ-, I formated the SSD and used 80gb NTFS for windows and the rest I just used gparted and made two partitions ext4 mounted to / and /home and 4gigs or so linux-swap space
[11:49] <Wiz_KeeD> that's it
[11:49] <aslayheu> ubuntu?
[11:50] <Wiz_KeeD> and I see two damn drives in 8.1 in my computer there, and when I click is asks if I want to format, I can only assume it's the ubuntu partitions
[11:54] <Seveas> Wiz_KeeD: install the ext4 driver for windows and you can use those partitions :)
[11:55] <Seveas> http://www.ext2fsd.com/
[11:55] <Wiz_KeeD> Seveas, that a nice idea! :)) why not have access to them if they are visible
[11:57] <Wiz_KeeD> Now can someone pretty please help me with my wireless issue?:(
[11:58] <BlackDalek> in a toc-file, what is mode 1 tracks? Is that normal data tracks? e.g. -  "CD_ROM The  disc contains just mode 1 tracks or mode 1 and audio tracks" I am wanting to ultimately burn a data only CD (not audio).
[12:01] <TJ-> BlackDalek: mode-1 tracks are data tracks for a file-system, such as ISO-9660 or UDF, if I recall correctly

[13:03] <kongthap> please help, i created a symbolic link using "sudo ln -s ~/www/ajax /var/www/ajax" i'm trying to use "ls -la /var/www" i got this "ajax -> /home/kongthap/www/ajax" why i cannot use the browser to open http://localhost/ajax/index.php ???
[13:03] <Random832> matrixa1: relative paths are relative to the directory you're in when you run the script, not the directory the script is in
[13:03] <matrixa1> if I however go into the directory beforehand "cd /var/new/" then run ./prgram then it works
[13:04] <yeats> kongthap: check your apache logs
[13:04] <matrixa1> Random832, so I have to change /bin/bash to /bin/var ?
[13:04] <kongthap> yeats, can you please tell me where the log is ??
[13:04] <matrixa1> I mean /bin/bash to /var/new/ *

[13:05] <kongthap> yeats, yes it's 13.04
[13:05] <blue112> Is there a fast way to extract a part of a binary file from a known byte position to a known byte position ?
[13:05] <yeats> kongthap: then it would be /var/log/apache2
[13:06] <matrixa1> Random832, never mind, thank you! I've found it out
[13:06] <kongthap> yeats, it should be access.log right?
[13:06] <yeats> blue112: 'cut' or 'awk' should do it - try 'man cut' or 'man awk' for syntax
[13:07] <blue112> yeats, it's *binary* and it's HUGE (14gb)
[13:07] <Haferstroh> Hello, does anyone knows how to print a boarder around multipage prints?

[13:58] <holly> avidemux is the single worst application i have ever seen and wtf is gtk or qt?
[13:58] <holly> why do we need to learn a new theory of the universe just to use a new ubuntu application?
[13:59] <holly> is there any application that can simply and I really mean simply resize a simple video?
[14:00] <holly> i mean who in this real world cares what gtk or qt means? why should we have to know that?
[14:00] <holly> are the ubuntu devs gay?
[14:00] <holly> are you all british guys not getting any good pussy?

[14:10] <Fily> I received tha mail from Jonathan Riddel on Secon Alpha of trusty Tahr (14.04 LTS). I'd like to test these ISO on a laptop. Is it better to launch ISO from DVD or on a Virtual Machine?? Thanks
[14:11] <TJ-> Fily: best testing coverage comes from trying it on the bare hardware
[14:14] <Fily> TJ, so you think it's better to write these ISO on a DVD??
[14:14] <TJ-> Fily: I'd write to a USB but DVD is sometimes useful to ensure the drive is re-mounted correctly in the /target
[14:16] <Fily> TJ, is it possible to download for instance Ubuntu GNOME Secon Alpha on USB? How can i  do this?
[14:16] <ukubuntu> So no one knows the answer? Is it the same cd for macbook and windows and do I use a 32 OR 64 bit?
[14:20] <VlanX> TJ-: I belive that was korean
[14:21] <glitsj16> Fily: you can download the ubuntu-gnome 14.04 alpha 2 from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/trusty/alpha-2/ .. fyi, support for 14.04 is next door in #ubuntu+1
[14:34] <VlanX> so much silence...
[14:34] <Seryth> Shhh child.
[14:34] <VlanX> no problems anyone?
[14:34] <VlanX> ok my turn
[14:34] <VlanX> I run a "rm -rf" on my root directory, what should I do now?
[14:35] <llutz> VlanX: be happy you haven't used sude
[14:35] <llutz> sudo
[14:35] <overrr> Is there any way to check whether I remember correct password to my id_rsa.pub file?
[14:37] <llutz> overrr: ssh-keygen -y
[14:38] <glitsj16> VlanX: did you run that from a root terminal?
[14:39] <DF3D2> TJ-, you around ?

[14:42] <DF3D2> TJ-, im doing it by hand I had trouble with that script you wrote
[14:42] <TJ-> DF3D2: what command is causing that error, then?
[14:42] <DF3D2> TJ-, http://pastebin.com/bAh5frUe i get that error when I actually type chroot /media/usb
[14:42] <DF3D2> those are the commands im doing
[14:43] <plut0> is there a way to get nautilus to prompt for a password when trying to mount a cifs share from /etc/fstab ?
[14:43] <TJ-> DF3D2: when does the error occur? when you do 'update-grub' ?
[14:43] <DF3D2> TJ-, no when I type chroot /media/usb
[14:43] <mikubuntu> ok, i have a long history of not backing things up -- most everything i save is from the internet. but now i need to clear this computer off and take my files to my new laptop. i haven't got a clue what to do. i thought i could drag and drop whole directories into a 16 gb usb, but it doesn't seem to be the case. anyone available to help me?
[14:43] <DF3D2> update grub runs but doesnt seem to actually work
[14:44] <TJ-> DF3D2: hmmm, and the USB file-system is already mounted to /media/usb/ ?
[14:44] <DF3D2> yes

[14:45] <Linoron> hi all, I have tried to make UEFI-bootable Live USB sticks for both Ubuntu and LinuxMint, but cannot seem to get any of them WRITEABLE and BOOTable in UEFI (secureboot is disabled).

Using ubuntu=startup-disk=creator or the gtk version, available from the default repositories.
[14:46] <DF3D2> TJ-, it's odd I have no idea what is going on
[14:46] <Wiz_KeeD> guys, my ubuntu won't boot anymore, it's getting stuck at Loading inital ramdisk, in recovery mode too
[14:46] <Wiz_KeeD> Does it have to do with the fact that it's on a SSD?

[14:46] <Aqua2> Ok

[14:47] <VlanX> wait... I could try that on a VM just for the hell of it

[14:50] <Aqua2> I installed xubuntu
[14:50] <FloodBot1> Aqua2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:50] <Aqua2> Fresh install
[14:50] <yeats> !enter
[14:50] <Aqua2> After updating and upgrading
[14:50] <Aqua2> I installed the propriarity drivers
[14:51] <Aqua2> After rebooting it keeps hanging on the loading screen
[14:51] <Aqua2> Its all frozen
[14:51] <Aqua2> Cant even ctrl alt f1
[14:51] <Aqua2> Does anyone know how to fix?
[14:51] <TJ-> DF3D2: yes... the only way I can see that line failing is if either of the variables contains a string with spaces in it.
[14:52] <Aqua2> Oh im sorry ubpttu
[14:52] <DF3D2> TJ-, im at a loss this worked yesterday
[14:52] <Aqua2> ubottu: *
[14:52] <TJ-> DF3D2: To guard against such things we usually surround both in double-quotes... at the top of lesspipe it sets LESSFILE=lessfile, and BASENAME to the basename of the script
[14:53] <DF3D2> TJ-, so should those order of commands work or no?
[14:54] <TJ-> DF3D2: In the chroot, have you customised anything, especially shell scripts or includes?
[14:54] <morsnowski> !die
[14:55] <TJ-> DF3D2: Because, as "man chroot" says... "If no command is given, run '${SHELL} -i' (default: '/bin/sh -i')" ... so /bin/sh is being run inside the chroot
[14:56] <DF3D2> TJ-, im getting that command when I do it manually and no I haven't customized anything
[14:56] <TJ-> DF3D2: have you checked that "/media/usb/bin/sh" exists and looks the correct size etc?
[14:56] <xomp> Anyone here available to help me with my email issue? Postfix says the mail was delivered to mailbox but the message never arrives in the users mailbox. I'm using Google Apps with my domain for Email.
[14:59] <mikubuntu> ok, i am copying files from my desktop directory to a usb -- keep getting 'invalid filename' msgs (list) attributed mostly to screenshot .png files -- anybody know what the reason might be?
[15:01] <msdw> how are you copying the files <mikubuntu>
[15:01] <msdw> terminal or gyui
[15:01] <DF3D2> TJ-, it doesnt seem to exist !?
[15:02] <mikubuntu> also, i could not find a place to read the properties of the directory -- what will happen if the copy process fills the 16gb usb limit and still has more data?
[15:02] <TJ-> DF3D2: Are you sure the USB stick is mounted at /media/usb/ "mount | grep usb" ?
[15:02] <DF3D2> TJ-, lrwxrwxrwx 1 999 999       4 Jan  5 23:27 sh -> dash
[15:02] <DF3D2> i have that if I ls -l it
 so you want to know how heavy it its???
[15:02] <TJ-> DF3D2: OK, that's a symlink to dash, which is normal
[15:03] <DF3D2> TJ-, /dev/sdc1 on /media/usb type ext4 (rw)
[15:03] <mikubuntu> is there a good file manager with a strong 'tagging' feature, rather than putting things into hundreds of folders?
[15:03] <TJ-> DF3D2: when the shell starts in interactive mode it reads various scripts ... one of those scripts is using 'lesspipe' which is resulting in that error.
[15:03] <mikubuntu> file management is a drag -- no wonder i've never paid much attention to it
[15:04] <DF3D2> TJ-, all i rly need to do is tell grub to use a different UUID, can I do that once grub is booted somehow?
[15:04] <TJ-> mikubuntu: So is keeping things organised in kitchen cupboards, but without it you'll have a hard time finding obscure things when you want them :)
[15:04] <plut0> is there a way to force nautilus to prompt for a password when trying to mount a cifs share from /etc/fstab ?
[15:05] <DF3D2> TJ-, I have a grub rescue prompt
[15:05] <TJ-> DF3D2: If you're seeing that error from the chroot it suggests that booting from that image could also be affected
[15:05] <DF3D2> im seeing it from booting it
[15:05] <DF3D2> i really need this fixed
[15:05] <DF3D2> :-\
[15:05] <TJ-> DF3D2: so there is something wrong with the images
[15:06] <DF3D2> hmm how so?
[15:07] <mikubuntu> TJ-: ok, ok, ok --- i get it. can you give me some tips on how to do it right/better? as i think about it, tagging seems to be a more effective way to identify files, but i don't see any such feature in my file manager (which i guess is thunar?)
[15:08] <DF3D2> TJ-, okay im gonna start over -- gonna copy the files from the working ubuntu install on to the usb from a live-usb, then ill try to chroot and install grub again from there
[15:08] <DF3D2> http://pastebin.com/1wf5B2nz -- that is the correct order of commands?
[15:08] <TJ-> DF3D2: Why don't you use debootstrap to create the installs?
[15:09] <DF3D2> TJ-, I need the files from that working install idk what debootstrap is
[15:09] <ShawnRisk> How come every process bar popup window (Update Cache, Install Driver - Openprinting and more) freezes in Ubuntu 13.10?
[15:10] <TJ-> mikubuntu: Operating system files are generally organised in a well-defined hierarchy; you can imagine the directory names as tags. User files is up to the user :)
[15:10] <mikubuntu> is it possible to stop the copy process (cancel) and then resume later? as i watch the progress, i'm seeing lots of files i don't need that i prolly should delete before resaving to a new computer
[15:10] <mikubuntu> TJ-: now you want me to imagine things
[15:10] <mikubuntu> lol
[15:11] <DF3D2> TJ-, is there a better method? I'd use dd but the source drive is much bigger
[15:11] <TJ-> mikubuntu: There may be a tagging file manager but I'm not aware of one, because I mostly work with files from a shell
[15:12] <TJ-> DF3D2: Your current approach ought to be OK if you're copying everything into the clone
[15:13] <DF3D2> TJ-, yeah im copying all the files
[15:13] <MASbro> hello im getting false readings when transfering files in ubuntu
[15:14] <ShawnRisk> any ideas on my problem?
[15:14] <DF3D2> TJ-, is there no way to use dd to clone from a larger drive to a smaller, like tell it to stop the image at a certain size ?
[15:14] <TJ-> DF3D2: I'm wondering if there's some USB corruption going on
[15:14] <mikubuntu> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tag+your+files+and+folders+linux
[15:14] <giacy> ciaoooo
[15:15] <TJ-> DF3D2: not in the way you want, no. 'dd' is for block device or single-file duplication
[15:15] <giacy> hiiiiiiiii
[15:15] <MASbro> u transfer lets say a gb file and it goes blazin fast according to the progress bar and done. open the file and its only partially copied or corrupted
[15:16] <DF3D2> TJ-, ok
[15:16] <ShawnRisk> How come every process bar popup window (Update Cache, Install Driver - Openprinting and more) freezes in Ubuntu 13.10?
[15:16] <yeats> MASbro: do the checksums match between the original and the copy?
[15:17] <yeats> MASbro: and what method of transfer are you using?
[15:17] <MASbro> just drag and drop from a folder to my flash disk. btw it only happens on a usb stick in fat32 or ntfs. no probs with an external hdd
[15:17] <llutz> MASbro: you copy files to a different filesystem? use "sync" mount-option to prevent this
[15:17] <mikubuntu> i have a feeling this stick is going to overload -- just saw that i have at least one dvd os image in my desktop thats at least 2gb right there -- i should have deleted it. again anyone -- can i cancel the copy process, and then resume, or will i have to reformat and start all over?
[15:18] <MASbro> well ubuntu is ext4 and my flash disk is either fat 32 or ntfs. it never happens on my external hdd which is ntfs
[15:19] <TJ-> mikubuntu: If you can identify the copying process you could TERMinate it
[15:20] <yeats> MASbro: fat32 has some file transfer limitations you might be hitting against
[15:20] <TJ-> mikubuntu: If it is doing I/O then "sudo iotop" will show the busiest processes and their process IDs (PID), which you can use to do "sudo kill -TERM $PID"
[15:20] <mikubuntu> TJ-: ehhh, i gotta run out -- i'll see what it's done when i get back i guess -- ty, tj
[15:21] <MASbro> it has a limitation of 4gb. i never transfer anything 4gb or over.
[15:21] <yeats> MASbro: I would try what llutz suggests
[15:21] <Beldar> mikubuntu, Make sure any hidden trash folders...etc are not causing the usb to fill up completely.
[15:21] <MASbro> how to use sync mount option.
[15:26] <ShawnRisk> How come every process bar popup window (Update Cache, Install Driver - Openprinting and more) freezes in Ubuntu 13.10?
[15:27] <rustuptwist> TJ-: what's up
[15:27] <demian> ShawnRisk, dunno
[15:27] <ShawnRisk> demian: anything I can check?
[15:27] <demian> I'm newb
[15:28] <ShawnRisk> ok
[15:29] <demian> Anyone here with knowledge of xchat?
[15:29] <ShawnRisk> demian: just ask
[15:29] <demian> Or should I just try a new IRC client with a better support base :p
[15:29] <ShawnRisk> demian: did you try the xchat room?
[15:30] <demian> New channels are always popping up in separate windows. I want them attached to a single main window and visible in the channels tree bar by default..
[15:30] <demian> #xchat is hopelessly idle
[15:31] <ShawnRisk> oh
[15:31] <TJ-> rustuptwist: Are you done now?
[15:31] <demian> I kinda like the look and feel of Xchat so I prefer not to try out anything else..
[15:32] <ShawnRisk> I have used xchat years ago but not now so unsure
[15:33] <TJ-> demian: Settings > Preferences > Interface > Channel switcher > "Tabs or Windows" > "Open channels in:"
[15:34] <ShawnRisk> How come every process bar popup window (Update Cache, Install Driver - Openprinting and more) freezes in Ubuntu 13.10?
[15:34] <DF3D2> TJ-, i ran your script but it complains that grub-install hasnt specified a device
[15:34] <demian> TJ-, thanks I can't see why I missed it :p
[15:34] <TJ-> DF3D2: that's because you have to give it a device!!
[15:34] <DF3D2> TJ-, in your script ?
[15:35] <DF3D2> TJ-, I thought it chroot to the correct dir and that would work
[15:36] <TJ-> DF3D2: you need to understand the commands you're using. The reason I don't put device names into script examples is so you can't accidentally destroy your own system by blind copying. Read "man grub-install"
[15:36] <demian> Woohoo!
[15:36] <ShawnRisk> TJ-: any ideas on my question?
[15:36] <Wiz_KeeD> I can no longer boot into my ubuntu (even in recovery mode it stops at Loading Ramdisk) and the usb live image does not start anymore when clicking "Try ubuntu without installing", what can I do?
[15:37] <ShawnRisk> demian: that is nice TJ- was able to help you
[15:37] <TJ-> ShawnRisk: none
[15:38] <Wiz_KeeD> help?
[15:39] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: wait someone will answer
[15:39] <Wiz_KeeD> okok
[15:40] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[15:40] <Wiz_KeeD> how could I launch it if i cannot access live-cd or the ubuntu installation?
[15:40] <rustuptwist> TJ-:  compaq laptop is up and running (edubuntu 12.04.03) thanks to you and Hit... for the assist last night!
[15:41] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: "does not start anymore" is not going to help us help you. You need to specify the exact steps and the exact responses you see. For boot issues, have you edited the boot entry at start-up and removed "quiet splash" and added "nomodeset debug" so you can reveal more information
[15:41] <TJ-> rustuptwist: Well done :)
[15:41] <Wiz_KeeD> TJ-, no but I have tried in recovery mode where there is no splash and it stops at Loading Ramdisk, I have specified this
[15:42] <Wiz_KeeD> live-cd just goes blank, and then I tried launching it in non-uefi mode and it failed loading the sound-card and the cd-rom (cd-rom isn't present since I have a hdd caddy installed)
[15:42] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: How about the live image, you can edit the options for that too. If both are failing doesn't that suggest a problem with the hardware itself? Have you made any BIOS/firmware configuration changes?
[15:42] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: read this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129116/12-04-wont-boot-from-live-cd-or-usb
[15:42] <rustuptwist> TJ-:  i need to kinda do the same thing to my daughter HP. I need to know what I did wrong when I partitioned the drive(s) in windows disk manangement?
[15:42] <Wiz_KeeD> TJ-, i have not, windows loads fine, no updates, just a forced power-out because windows was hanging
[15:43] <Wiz_KeeD> Also installed some drivers that let me access the ext4 drives of ubuntu in windows if that has any relevance
[15:43] <DF3D2> TJ-, im not getting it I have grub-install --target=/dev/device
[15:43] <DF3D2> but it's still trying to do the wrong device
[15:43] <Balzy> ehi there, can someone quickly explain me how linux display a simple text shell, without gui? does it still use an Xserver?
[15:44] <TJ-> rustuptwist: You created the maximum number of "Primary" partitions in the Master Boot Record (MBR). In future, first you should create an "Extended partition" in the MBR, and then create subsequent partitions as "Logical" (which means they are placed in the Extended partition, not the MBR - which only has 4 slots.
[15:44] <TJ-> DF3D2: "grub-install /dev/sdX" is all you need
[15:44] <ShawnRisk> Balzy: why not try ctrl+alt+f1?
[15:44] <DF3D2> TJ-, ok
[15:44] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: did you read that link?
[15:45] <Wiz_KeeD> yes, I have dual-boot
[15:45] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: If the live image won't start then something is amiss... possible data corruption if that's a USB device, but can't be if it is a DVD
[15:45] <DF3D2> TJ-, doesnt work it still is trying the wrong device
[15:46] <Wiz_KeeD> TJ-, yes, I also tried re-making the usb, same simptom
[15:46] <Wiz_KeeD> and it worked before without issue
[15:46] <TJ-> DF3D2: So specify the correct device. If you're aiming it at the USB device mounted at /media/usb/ then it's "grub-install /dev/sdc" isn't it?
[15:46] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: anything changed?
[15:47] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: Hmm, could the power-out have caused the BIOS/firmware settings to change? I've seen that happen some years ago, and a simple BIOS "load defaults" solved it
[15:47] <Wiz_KeeD> Not that I can think of ShawnRisk, just the forced windows poweroff
[15:47] <DF3D2> TJ-, I did
[15:47] <DF3D2> TJ-, I edited the file but it still complains about /dev/sdd1
[15:47] <Wiz_KeeD> I don't know what to say...
[15:47] <Wiz_KeeD> I'll try looking in bios idk
[15:47] <acovrig> Is it possible to connect host b->host a via a vpn and resolve thing backward through the tunnel (host a->host b) given host b can't be accessed directly from the internet?
[15:48] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: did you see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2163854
[15:48] <TJ-> DF3D2: I'm at a loss; you're obviously missing something
[15:49] <DF3D2> TJ-, no, it worked idk why it complained about /dev/sdd1 -- idk if your scrip worked but i ran it to mount everything then did the chroot and grub-install from the chroot and it seems to work now
[15:49] <DF3D2> TJ-, sorry I seem like a complete moron I know
[15:50] <Balzy> ShawnRisk I know how to get a tty, I'd like to know how linux display it :P
[15:51] <TJ-> DF3D2: It's called learning... you only do it by failing, and wondering why!
[15:51] <DF3D2> TJ-, yeah but i've been at this for like 24 hrs lol
[15:51] <llutz> acovrig: set a route on host-a to host-b. different way could be to use a reverse ssh-tunnel
[15:51] <DF3D2> TJ-, and I had it working easily and didn't back up the usb lol
[15:51] <TJ-> DF3D2: You think I got this knowledgeable without failing? For every time I get it right, I've done it wrong 5 times, and figured out what I did wrong!
[15:51] <Wiz_KeeD> TJ-, wicked man, it worked, both live-usb and ubuntu work now!
[15:52] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: Yay :)
[15:52] <Wiz_KeeD> many thank
[15:52] <Wiz_KeeD> s
[15:52]  * Wiz_KeeD huggles
[15:53] <able> This box here has a BIOS that won't boot gpt disks, but couldnt an MBR-installed grub be used to overcome this issue?
[15:53] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: what did you do?
[15:53] <Wiz_KeeD> reset bios settings...
[15:53] <Wiz_KeeD> I think it has to do with that, there's no other explanation after 5 reboots didn't wookr
[15:53] <Wiz_KeeD> yet after restore bios settings, it did
[15:53] <Wiz_KeeD> though I think I saw an error
[15:54] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: You may need to go through the BIOS settings and tune them again, there may have been some non-default settings
[15:55] <ShawnRisk> Balzy: does this help: http://www.ehow.com/facts_5571810_tty-stand-linux.html
[15:55] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: the obvious one is to select SATA AHCI mode if you've got Windows configured to use AHCI instead of IDE mode
[15:56] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: try to find error
[15:56] <rustuptwist> TJ-: so if I am in "Disk Management" in win7 and I want to make space/room to install Ubuntu what/how do I modify?
[15:57] <Wiz_KeeD> TJ-, it was set to ahci, but why would win boot but not ubuntu?
[15:57] <Wiz_KeeD> and it was set all along to ahci
[15:57] <Wiz_KeeD> ShawnRisk, where can I access the boot log?
[15:58] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: I was referring to AHCI just in the context of after the "load defaults" step. No point trying to guess now what setting was preventing the boot
[16:00] <Balzy> ShawnRisk thx, I'm reading it
[16:00] <ShawnRisk> Balzy: you're welcome
[16:01] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: try this in terminal if you get Ubuntu to load: dmesg | less
[16:01] <Wiz_KeeD> http://pastie.org/8669164
[16:02] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: also look at this: /var/log/boot.log
[16:04] <rustuptwist> TJ-:  would it be easier to boot the win laptop with the LIveCD and use GParted to partition the drive for the Ubuntu install
[16:04] <Wiz_KeeD> http://pastie.org/8669172 all looking good I guess
[16:04] <Wiz_KeeD> There's another thing that I really need help with that's more difficult
[16:05] <Octer> hi. someone in here who can help me with the new session in php 5.5`?
[16:05] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: go ahead
[16:05] <TJ-> rustuptwist: I'm not sure, if Windows can do it, there's no difference except for speed - if you're already in Windows its quicker to do
[16:05] <ShawnRisk> Octer: did you try in PHP room first?
[16:05] <Octer> #php is invite only
[16:06] <ssh-newbie> hello, I need help with my ssh known_hosts file, I need to see the most recents ip there but I do not know how to do it, and when I do ssh-keygen -h -F hostname it shows the help for ssh-keygen
[16:06] <ssh-newbie> somebody can helpme?
[16:06] <Wiz_KeeD> I have a Asus R501VB that had a Atheros Wireless network card, after some time it started failing and I sent it to warranty for it to be replaced.When it came back I noticed I got an error when installing the windows driver and also noticed poorer signal strength as well as lower download speeds (3/3.5 mb/s)
[16:06] <rustuptwist> TJ-:  the instructions via canonical say 'just shrink the volume' using disk managment but that is what I did yesterday and look what happened
[16:07] <bugs_bugger> hi there. i need some help with a hp psc 2510: i installed it via wifi with cups 1.7 but now, simple-scan cant find any scanner device and i cant set anything in the options
[16:07] <Wiz_KeeD> When I looked closely I realised: Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
[16:07] <Wiz_KeeD> They swaped it with one from another manufacturer, and it's much slower, I have sent a complaint to Asus since I don't think this is normal to replace standard parts with what's lieing around, but my question is WHY is it limited to that speed when it says it can run in N mode too?
[16:08] <ShawnRisk> Octer: ask away
[16:08] <TJ-> rustuptwist: Yes, someone didn't think about the case where the MBR is already fully populated, because that is unusual in a Windows installation, or used to me
[16:08] <ShawnRisk> Octer: wait did you try WEB room?
[16:09] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: are you 100% sure this can run in N mode?
[16:09] <Wiz_KeeD> How can I benchmark, test, diagose my wireless card?
[16:09] <Wiz_KeeD> no I am not 100% sure
[16:09] <Wiz_KeeD> I just saw that somewhere I think
[16:09] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: If they did a shoddy job it makes me wonder if they reconnected the internal MIMO antennas correctly, which would surely lead to signal problems
[16:10] <Wiz_KeeD> You think that's the case? couldn't it be just that it's an inferior part?
[16:10] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: whether or not it can do 802.11n, 3.5 mbps is slow
[16:10] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: look at these tools: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
[16:10] <Wiz_KeeD> What are my options here? diagnose, test? at least has some proof it's worse and start yelling and threatning or something
[16:10] <llutz> ssh-newbie: "ssh-keygen -h -F hostname" is correct syntax and should give you the line and the key if it finds hostname, empty response if not
[16:10] <Wiz_KeeD> looking
[16:10] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: 802.11g with a strong signal can push 23Mbps on empty airwaves
[16:11] <Wiz_KeeD> pfff Jesus that's a lot
[16:11] <Beldar> Wiz_KeeD, You are not the only one with a slow speed with this card. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=RT5390
[16:11] <Wiz_KeeD> the intial one pushed even 6/7
[16:11] <Wiz_KeeD> Beldar, also in windows as well!
[16:11] <Wiz_KeeD> With the proper drivers installed in windows it could push up to 4
[16:11] <Wiz_KeeD> but that's still bad...
[16:11] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: I said "empty airwaves". If there are other 2.4GHz devices interferring then you'll get much less throughput
[16:12] <ssh-newbie> llutz: thank you, but when I do that I get "ssh-keygen: illegal option --" and it shows me the options list
[16:12] <llutz> ssh-newbie: what is the exact command you use?
[16:12] <ssh-newbie> I must be doing something wrong
[16:12] <ShawnRisk> Wiz_KeeD: look here: http://itsfoss.com/speed-up-slow-wifi-connection-ubuntu/
[16:13] <schmock84_> Hi, got myself in some trouble when installing ubuntu next to win8 - now neither is working and I am too bad with PC stuff to fix this myself /- could anybody help me out pls?
[16:13] <ShawnRisk> How come every process bar popup window (Update Cache, Install Driver - Openprinting and more) freezes in Ubuntu 13.10?
[16:15] <schmock84_> reposting: Hi, got myself in some trouble when installing ubuntu next to win8 - now neither is working and I am too bad with PC stuff to fix this myself /- could anybody help me out pls?
[16:15] <Beldar> schmock84_, One OS can be a complex fix, two can make it twice as hard, you will need to give details to the channel
[16:16] <puppylinux2> beldar: hello
[16:16] <Wiz_KeeD> ShawnRisk, ok tried disabling ipv6
[16:16] <Wiz_KeeD> brb
[16:16] <ShawnRisk> schmock84_: what happens when you boot into Windows or Ubuntu?
[16:16] <schmock84_> Beldar, thanks for reaction. :)
[16:18] <puppylinux2> Beldar: hello
[16:18] <schmock84_> Beldar, I had win 8.1 preinstalled and turned off fast boot and secure boot and went for installation of ubuntu 13.10
[16:19] <ShawnRisk> here are errors on my problem: http://pastebin.com/kamfcgQ7
[16:19] <schmock84_> @Beldar, ShawnRisk: Grub2 did not load on reboot and I went into live ubuntu to run boot repair
[16:20] <schmock84_> @beldar, ShawnRisk: apparentlz by doing so, I killed my boot loader entirely and now I cannot boot into either WIN 8.1 nor Ubuntu 13.10
[16:20] <Beldar> schmock84_, I would address the channel at this point so the others realize I'm not actually helping, uefi is not my area of knowledge, and I generally link people to those who are if I can. For example the bootrepair kicks out a bootinfo summary post it here on the developers thread for focused help.
[16:21] <Wiz_KeeD> Pff did not work
[16:21] <Beldar> schmock84_, here is the thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10871917#post10871917
[16:21] <ShawnRisk> back, sorry my connection died on me.  As for errors on my problem: http://pastebin.com/kamfcgQ7
[16:22] <schmock84_> @Beldar: ok, understood
[16:23] <Beldar> schmock84_, Cool, just a few here can do uefi diagnostics, just a heads up is all, that thread however has several focused keenly on this area.
[16:23] <schmock84_> Generally, is there a more dedicated channel to helping noobs like me ruining their szstems?
[16:23] <Alex89> !ciao
[16:23] <Alex89> !addon
[16:23] <schmock84_> @beldar: will certainly give it a shot right away
[16:24] <Beldar> Alex89, what do you need?
[16:24] <ShawnRisk> Beldar: did you see my issue?
[16:25] <Beldar> ShawnRisk, Yeah, nothing I recognize in order to advise is all.
[16:25] <ShawnRisk> Beldar: did you see my original question?
[16:27] <kenny1> achernya: hi
[16:27] <Beldar> ShawnRisk, I have read every post you have made, no idea what your problem is. ;)
[16:28] <kenny1> Dutn: hy man
[16:30] <Beldar> ShawnRisk, If I was in your sistuation, I would make another account in users to see if this happens there, and or in the guest account or a live cd to check if it may be the account you are using and caused by tweaking it.
[16:30] <Beldar> situation*
[16:30] <ShawnRisk> Beldar: okay
[16:31] <Beldar> ShawnRisk, The user app can add and remove new accounts with a gui and they can be another admin with sudo access or a limited account.
[16:33] <ShawnRisk> Beldar: I will try again later.

[16:41] <internet> can office documents be directly printed without having to use openoffice/libreoffice?
[16:44] <plibby2> Good evening. Im searching for some help installing ubuntu server 12.04.3 on a system with hardware RAID. Can someone help me?
[16:45] <DF3D2> what is the correct way to run a bash .sh script on boot with lightdm? I have tried setting up ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc and even /etc/lightdm.conf  session-setup-script
[16:45] <DF3D2> I want it to run when xorg is up
[16:46] <bugs_bugger> internet: you would have to pipe them through some programs that generate printable postscript from the openoffice XML format
[16:50] <jkhl11> hola
[16:53] <DF3D2> anyone?
[16:53] <DF3D2> why cant I seem to get a script to start on boot lol
[16:53] <DF3D2> err when xorg starts
[16:54] <plibby2> I've got some trouble installing ubuntu server. On which partition i have to install it if i use hardware raid? I get my 2 drives and a read-only RAIDraid1 entry.
[16:56] <jhutchin1> plibby2: If it's hardware raid, it should present the array as a single drive to the OS, so partitioning doesn't really matter.
[16:57] <jhutchin1> plibby2: Depending on what you're using the system for, partitioning will usually end up with you running out of space on one partition while another has plenty of room.
[16:57] <jhutchin1> plibby2: I recommend one partition + swap unless you know where you're data is going to accumulate.
[16:59] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: upstart/sys v init
[17:02] <plibby2> jhutchin1: I configured RAID with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology. I converted the HDDs (3tb) to GPT and configured the RAID 1. When installing i got asked, if i like to activate serial ATA-Configured devices. If i click yes, i can only use 800 GB of my drive. Clicking no offer me the whole space and the three options. 'sda', 'sdb' and 'md126 (read-only)...' . What am i doing wrong?

[17:03] <semek> hello i have problem with conky infinity, how to make transparent background in unity ?
[17:06] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, it seems coplicated I just want to run one script when x starts
[17:07] <DF3D2> and none of the usual things seems to work
[17:07] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: then may add an entry for it in rc.local
[17:07] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: ahh when x starts
[17:07] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I tried putting sh /path/script in rc.local
[17:07] <DF3D2> and in ~/.xsession
[17:07] <DF3D2> and ~/.xinit
[17:07] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: does the xserver need to be up?
[17:07] <DF3D2> and using lightdm
[17:07] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, yes it does
[17:08] <DF3D2> xorg must be running
[17:08] <Minnen> hello
[17:09] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: then in lightdm.conf under [SeatDefaults] add display-setup-script=/path/to/some/script
[17:09] <Minnen> [question] anyone knows a command that outputs the user list and their respective permissions?
[17:09] <Wiz_KeeD> Any other method to diagnose wireless card?
[17:09] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, I did that, lightdm never starts
[17:09] <DF3D2> it makes it hang
[17:09] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: then fork it
[17:09] <DF3D2> it says it starts in kernel msgs, but it never does
[17:09] <hitsujiTMO> with &
[17:10] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, /path/script & ?
[17:10] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: yup
[17:10] <DF3D2> let me try..
[17:10] <pvl1> lol still working on pxe boot
[17:10] <DF3D2> no
[17:10] <DF3D2> I gave up on that shit
[17:10] <pvl1> what ur language bud
[17:10] <hitsujiTMO> !language | DF3D2
[17:10] <DF3D2> lol
[17:10] <pvl1> but what are you working on now
[17:10] <hitsujiTMO> :)
[17:11] <DF3D2> just trying to get something to start with x
[17:11] <hitsujiTMO> prog getting the mining app to start with x
[17:11] <hitsujiTMO> prob*
[17:11] <DF3D2> yep
[17:11] <pvl1> mining as in *coin mining?
[17:12] <DF3D2> i need these to be automated
[17:12] <DF3D2> since im gonna have like 10 rigs
[17:12] <pvl1> are you using gpu's to mine?
[17:12] <pvl1> if so i recommend u keep X off
[17:12] <DF3D2> x must be on
[17:12] <DF3D2> or it won't work
[17:12] <pvl1> thats not true
[17:13] <pvl1> i mine without x
[17:13] <pvl1> just ssh in
[17:13] <DF3D2> on what ?
[17:13] <monoclithi> this channel is nothing more then NOISE
[17:13] <DF3D2> for amd cards x must be running
[17:13] <pvl1> anything linux can run ssh and screen
[17:13] <DF3D2> im alrdy using ssh and screen
[17:13] <DF3D2> cgminer doesnt run without x
[17:14] <hitsujiTMO> monoclithi: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[17:14] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, yeah that still doesn't work :-((((
[17:14] <pvl1> DF3D2: how do u know this
[17:14] <monoclithi> sorry wrong window
[17:14] <DF3D2> pvl1, because i've tried ?
[17:14] <pvl1> i just asked on #cgminer
[17:15] <DF3D2> are you using amd cards
[17:15] <DF3D2> yes or not
[17:15] <pvl1> no
[17:15] <DF3D2> k
[17:15] <DF3D2> like I said
[17:15] <DF3D2> for amd cards it must be running
[17:15] <DF3D2> or the driver doesn't work
[17:15] <FloodBot1> DF3D2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:15] <pvl1> http://bitcoin-mining-headless.blogspot.com/
[17:15] <monoclithi> hitsujiTMO: you have a strange nick what does it stand for?
[17:15] <k1l> !ot | monoclithi
[17:16] <hitsujiTMO> =
[17:16] <DF3D2> pvl1, I know what is required for it to run
[17:16] <pvl1> DF3D2: i just asked on #cgminer and they saying u dont need X
[17:16] <pvl1> now
[17:16] <pvl1> if ur trying to overclock
[17:17] <pvl1> then yes dynamic overclocking requires Xserver to be running
[17:17] <DF3D2> right I am
[17:18] <DF3D2> hitsujiTMO, any ideas?
[17:18] <DF3D2> I like *need* this to work
[17:18] <DF3D2> forking it didn't help
[17:18] <pvl1> whats the error your getting
[17:18] <DF3D2> not getting one
[17:18] <DF3D2> lightdm says it will start but it never does
[17:18] <DF3D2> when I have a startup script setup
[17:19] <DF3D2> trying to run my cgminer startup script at boot
[17:19] <sh0t> hi guys after an update Ubuntu 13.10 is giving me problems. Now after i login gnome doesn't load anymore (and it's the same with awesome)
[17:19] <sh0t> only the mouse it shows
[17:19] <pvl1> well, do u have multiple sessions/de's/WM's u use? if not i recommend startx, with an xinitrc or what not
[17:19] <DF3D2> thats an idea
[17:19] <k1l> sh0t: see .xsession-errors
[17:19] <pvl1> DF3D2: is this just a mining rig? if so u dont need a session *AT ALL*
[17:19] <sh0t> ok k1l
[17:19] <DF3D2> yeah cause i tried xinitrc and it didn't work
[17:19] <DF3D2> pvl1, so how do I go about setting this up?
[17:19] <pvl1> DF3D2: just run xinit and amdcccle so you can run overdrive
[17:20] <k1l> sh0t: and make sure the video card driver moduls are build. so the linux-headers are installed
[17:20] <DF3D2> pvl1, cgminer sets my clocks
[17:20] <pvl1> DF3D2: then run just xinit so no window managers or anything loads up
[17:20] <zan> sd
[17:20] <pvl1> that would just slow down moning anyway
[17:20] <pvl1> *mining
[17:20] <luca> Why when I launch the ISO 14.04 I use QEMU and not VIRTUAL MACHINE as Nicholas Skaggs suggested to us?
[17:21] <DF3D2> pvl1, hmm okay where do I want to put "xinit" /etc/rc.local ?
[17:22] <DJones> luca: Probably best asking in the #ubuntu+1 which is the support channel for it at the moment, people there are probably most likely to be able to help
[17:22] <morsnowski> 14.04 ?
[17:22] <pvl1> DF3D2: xinit is just the init for X, no config files needed. first see if that will load, then you can make a session script to load cgminer
[17:22] <DF3D2> pvl1, it loads
[17:22] <DF3D2> so I need to get xinit to run each time, and get rid of lightdm
[17:22] <DF3D2> without borking
[17:22] <DF3D2> x
[17:22] <plibby2> Creates the Intel Storage Technology a Software or a Hardware RAID?
[17:23] <pvl1> xinit = init X but put .xinitrc in ~ of whatever user will be mining/starting x
[17:23] <luca> DJones, thanks
[17:23] <DF3D2> pvl1, yeah problem is cgminer runs but it doesn't seem to actually do anything
[17:23] <pvl1> DF3D2: exec cgminer
[17:23] <DF3D2> I wonder why
[17:23] <pvl1> DF3D2: are you on a mining pool, did u connect to one
[17:23] <DF3D2> pvl1, I have a shell startup script im calling in ~/xinitrc
[17:24] <luca> morsnowski, yes it is a version not stable yet. I'd like to launch it on my old laptop
[17:24] <DF3D2> lol yes man I've got a config file and a startup scriot
[17:24] <pvl1> just making sure
[17:24] <hitsujiTMO> DF3D2: ~/.xinitrc not ~/xinitrc
[17:24] <sh0t> k1l, how do i check that? and also i'd like to stress that the login form is provided to me on an X session but when it accepts the credentials it hangs somehow on a black screen where only the mous it showed. Anyway .xsession.errors says something like: xio: FATAL Io ERROR 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 4073 requests (4073 known processed) with 0 events remainig.
[17:24] <DF3D2> but cgminer seems to hang when I do it this way
[17:24] <morsnowski> oh ok
[17:24] <DF3D2> yeah ~/.xinitrc
[17:24] <DF3D2> its working -- but cgminer isnt
[17:24] <pvl1> either way, how long have u run cgminer before saying it dont work
[17:24] <DF3D2> just hangs
[17:24] <pvl1> DF3D2: can we take this off the support channel and PM
[17:25] <DF3D2> sure
[17:27] <hermacet> Hello, i'm kind of new with linux so forgive me if its a stupid question. I just installed Xubuntu, but is there any native support for some simple animations in XFCE or is it to lightweight for such?
[17:30] <mikubuntu> wonder why the copy process rejected these files http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6821404/
[17:31] <skinux> This may be dumb, but are there actually log files which store personal financial information (other than those of financial software)?
[17:31] <WebbyIT> 'm trying to use valgrind function profiler inside Ubuntu SDK but when I start the app I receive this error:

[17:32] <mikubuntu> also, wonder why some of these lib files are in my desktop dir http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6821404/
[17:33] <hitsujiTMO> mikubuntu: what are you trying to copy to?
[17:33] <mikubuntu> hitsujiTMO: to a 16gb usb
[17:34] <Pici> mikubuntu: ntfs and fat32 do not allow colons in filenames
[17:34] <mikubuntu> hitsujiTMO: how do i view the properties of the usb now? to know how full it is, i mean.
[17:34] <hitsujiTMO> mikedevita: if its ntfs or fat32 then the file system doesn't support names with : or symlinks
[17:34] <mikubuntu> thx Pici
[17:35] <hitsujiTMO> mikubuntu: df -h
[17:36] <mikubuntu> hitsujiTMO: not sure i understand -- where is the reference to the usb?
[17:36] <sh0t> guys i can't execute gnome anymore
[17:36] <sh0t> i login and then X hangs showing me only the mouse on a black screen
[17:36] <HALanon9000> what ever happened to the android execution environment for Ubuntu. is it dead?
[17:36] <hitsujiTMO> Mike9863: it will say the path to the usb under "mounted on"

[18:20] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, so after profiles there is Default/
[18:20] <sh0t> and after DEfault/ there is a plugin-with-set-keys
[18:20] <sh0t> without trailing '/'
[18:20] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: ok. relog
[18:20] <Minnen> jhutchin1 > thanks!
[18:21] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, relog?
[18:21] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: logout and log back in again
[18:21] <sh0t> man how can I be so idiot
[18:21] <sh0t> ok
[18:21] <sh0t> do u mean i logout and in in the terminal
[18:22] <sh0t> riht?
[18:22] <irv> howdy, i'm running 12.04 server and i want to install murmur1.2.4 which is in the "trusty" repo. is this possible to just add that repo for the one package/prereqs?
[18:22] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: no. logout of your x session. or reboot even
[18:22] <sh0t> o ki reboot
[18:22] <irv> http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/mumble is the package
[18:22] <sh0t> i don't have a workign x session
[18:22] <irv> o wait that's the client D:
[18:23] <hitsujiTMO> irv why do you want to install a beta server?
[18:24] <jhutchins> irv: Mixing releases can cause a lot of problems, not usually recommended.
[18:24] <zykotick9> irv: others may disagree, but IMO, mixing repos is a BAD idea - and will probably lead to tears...
[18:25] <sh0t> ok hitsujiTMO i rebooted
[18:25] <monoclithi> you mean no ppas?
[18:25] <sh0t> now i have the login screen
[18:25] <sh0t> it also says the wifi doen't work but that's another issue
[18:26] <compaq|armada> Hey there, I have one question regarding live CD. I have it running on an old PC using an usb stick and an old IDE drive i am able to access. Its amazing, a real treasure whats on it. I only have one problem, I just cant find the harddrive from terminal. I need access because my picturemap is unaccessable (i need to do a CHMOD 777). Can someone shed some light on this problem?
[18:26] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: are you able to login?
[18:27] <sh0t> i didn't try yet but since nothing changed i guess not
[18:27] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: please try
[18:27] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, jsut did
[18:27] <sh0t> i doesn't work
[18:27] <sh0t> *it
[18:27] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: same black screen?
[18:27] <sh0t> yes
[18:27] <sh0t> do u think reinstalling gnome could be something useful?
[18:28] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: gnome-session-quit --no-prompt
[18:29] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: can you try and log into the guest or is that enabled? does the same issue occur with the guest if it is enabled?
[18:30] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, coudln't connect to session bus: unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
[18:30] <jhutchins> Possibly add a new user.
[18:30] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, the guest works!
[18:30] <sh0t> maybe it's something related do permissions
[18:30] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: some its your user thats messed up.
[18:30] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: log back into your user
[18:30] <jhutchins> sh0t: This sometimes happens if you run GUI apps as root.
[18:31] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[18:31] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: permissions would explain the oddities of the dconf errors
[18:31] <jhutchins> sh0t: chown -R <user>:<user> /home/<user> (as root or with sudo)
[18:31] <sh0t> jhutchins, it could be because i was also messing around with 2 wm at the same time (one of them executed by root)

[18:43] <iq> I've been googling for a while, trying to figure out how to disable an application from autostart. I'm using Ubuntu 12 LTS. The application I want to disable does not show up in "Startup Applications"
[18:43] <sh0t> jhutchins, that's the model of my wifi i gues it's a driver problem
[18:43] <sh0t> right?

[18:45] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, nothing it's showed by grep
[18:46] <iq> Any help to disable an application from auto start?
[18:46] <gmachine_24> greetings earthlings. does ubuntu have a project such as owncloud or the like to help users build their own cloud server?
[18:46] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104129 maybe this is for me?
[18:46] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: did it work for you before, or are you just setting it up now?
[18:47] <sh0t> before it was working (before the update)
[18:47] <jhutchins> iqwhat is the application?
[18:47] <iq> jhutchins: Its called Viber.
[18:48] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: try rebuilding the driver: source is here if you don't have it already http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501
[18:49] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: its the RT3290 PCIe one obviously
[18:49] <sh0t> yeah sure thanks
[18:49] <hitsujiTMO> iq: check in startup-applications
[18:50] <jhutchins> iq: How did you install it?
[18:51] <iq> I downloaded the .deb file from viber.com
[18:51] <VlanX> In there anything for linux in gereral that works like autocad?
[18:51] <jhutchins> iq: You're going to have to find out from them how they're starting it.
[18:51] <sh0t> jhutchins, i get a bz2 file if decompress it i geta "POSIX tar archive" how do i do with that?

[18:52] <solsTiCe> hi. why is there 2 entries in uefi booot menu for  ubuntu ? one called Ubuntu with a capital letter and one without any ? the first on does nothing and the second one gives you grub menu
[18:52] <jhutchins> sh0t: I'm not sure why the stock module wouldn't work, it's supported.
[18:52] <mikubuntu> it is with a bit of sadness that i will shortly be bidding this so-far trusty gateway laptop a fond adieu, as all my files have now been extracted, and this box will soon be possessed by the spirit of ubuntu studio, and passed into the care of another. i wish nothing but the best for the box and it's new owner, whomsoever that shall turn out to be.
[18:52] <bekks> tar xvjf file.tar.bz2  --- small caps j.
[18:52] <jhutchins> sh0t: I think it's more likely a problem with the firmware.
[18:53] <hitsujiTMO> VlanX: http://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythoncad/
[18:53] <solsTiCe> I had no problem booting a dvd whih was in uefi boot menu ut to boot a usb key it was weird. I had to switch to legacy boot rom ?

[18:53] <sh0t> yeah becks it's not a tar.bz2
[18:53] <neoromantique> How do I connect it correctly?
[18:54] <mikubuntu> wait a minute ... can i use unet to install the new os right on this box? or does it have to be first copied to a stick?
[18:54] <bekks> sh0t: Then what is it, exactly?
[18:54] <sh0t> ok i renamed it in *.tar.bz2
[18:54] <bekks> sh0t: do not rename it.
[18:54] <bekks> sh0t: Renaming will not change the filetype or content. Renaming is pointless, mostly.
[18:54] <sh0t> yeah bekks i can now decompress as u said it
[18:55] <sh0t> anyway
[18:55] <bekks> sh0t: I never said that.
[18:55] <daftykins> mikubuntu: i hope you zero'd the disk
[18:55] <VlanX> hitsujiTMO: thanks!
 tar xvjf file.tar.bz2  --- small caps j.
[18:55] <bekks> sh0t: I told you the command to unpack a bzip2 compressed tar archive in one step.
[18:55] <mikubuntu> daftykins: what you mean -- boot and nuke?
[18:55] <sh0t> ok ok sorry i misunderstood in any case i think i have to decompress this thing
[18:55] <sh0t> to get itworking
[18:55] <bekks> sh0t: After you said, it isnt a tar archive, obviously that command does not apply anymore :)
[18:56] <bekks> sh0t: So which file do you actually have then?

[18:59] <Guest6041> Guys, I have just installed Lubuntu 13.10 to an old desktop, and no matter and have installed flashplayer and java from the software center. I can't watch YouTube or Wimp.com videos very good. It is just moving blocks of color. I have tried a lot of things, even the restricted extras. How about I remove the firewall? How do I do that for a try?
[18:59] <sh0t> bekks, no worries i think i might get trough it by yself otherwise i'll ask with more info for you guys
[18:59] <hitsujiTMO> Guest6041: whats the output of: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
[19:00] <gmachine_24> Guest6041, I don't think a firewall or lack of one is th eproblem
[19:00] <bekks> sh0t: Just one more information: technically, there is no single "Linux" to be downloaded. "Linux" ist the kernel used in every "linux distribution".
[19:00] <Guest6041> Yes, this is me from last night, hitsujiTMO. Hang on.
[19:00] <bekks> sh0t: If you want to try Ubuntu, get your download from www.ubuntu.com
[19:01] <sh0t> bekks, that's the link for the driver/firmware
[19:01] <bekks> sh0t: For which driver/firmware for what exactly?

[19:01] <Linoron> hi all, I have tried to make UEFI-bootable Live USB sticks for both Ubuntu and LinuxMint, but cannot seem to get any of them WRITEABLE and BOOTable in UEFI (secureboot is disabled). This USB live stick I use now, is read-only even if I made it by specifying 1GB of space for documents etc... Using ubuntu=startup-disk=creator or the gtk version, available from the default repositories.
[19:02] <bekks> sh0t: Stop downloading, and please read this complete post: http://askubuntu.com/questions/366610/wifi-not-working-in-ubuntu-13-10-with-ralink-rt3290
[19:03] <Guest6041> Here's model name:     Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz
[19:03] <Guest6041> How about swappiness?
[19:04] <sh0t> yeah bekks that's where i am comign from
[19:04] <bekks> Guest6041: NEither your firewall not swappiness will create color blocks in videos.
[19:04] <Guest6041> oh, what do you think does that?
[19:04] <Guest6041> HOw about settings in Adobe Flash Player?
[19:05] <bekks> Guest6041: which flash plugin version do you use?
[19:05] <Guest6041> the one in the software for Lubuntu  it's not quite 12... It's 11 something
[19:05] <bekks> sh0t: And did you try all the solutions offered there?
[19:05] <sh0t> yeah i am doing it now :)
[19:05] <bekks> Guest6041: about:plugins will tell you exactly.
[19:06] <Guest6041> ohhh what should that tell me?
[19:06] <Guest6041> what's missing and needed   o.k.
[19:06] <bekks> Guest6041: Put that into the URL field in your browser and tell us. :)

[19:08] <olabaz> hey, my internet keeps disconnecting and it only happens when I boot ubuntu on this computer any ideas?
[19:08] <whoever> hi all, is there a way to speed apps up in wine ? safari(in wine ) takes about 15 minstes to load a page where nativly i can load a page in seconds
[19:09] <hitsujiTMO> Guest6041: the most you can do is: right click on a flash video -> settings      untick the enable hardware accel
[19:09] <bekks> whoever: most likely, no.
[19:10] <gmachine_24> olabaz, please give more information. as in what are you running? what version of Ubuntu? what have you tried?
[19:10] <gmachine_24> olabaz, your request is vague
[19:11] <whoever> bekks: thaught so, but wasn't sure if some one invented a way  its seems to generally be faster to just make a vm and run in  a vm as apossed to wine
[19:11]  * whoever thinks by th time the page loads in safari he could had written the page 3 times over 
[19:12] <Beldar> whoever, why bother with safari in linux?
[19:12] <olabaz> gmachine_24: I'm running 12.04. I tried changing my local IP i've tried using nethogs but everything seems fine
[19:13] <Linoron> hi all, I have tried to make UEFI-bootable Live USB sticks for both Ubuntu and LinuxMint, but cannot seem to get any of them WRITEABLE and BOOTable in UEFI (secureboot is disabled). This USB live stick I use now, is read-only even if I made it by specifying 1GB of space for documents etc... Using ubuntu=startup-disk=creator or the gtk version, available from the default repositories.
[19:13] <olabaz> gmachine_24: I can be using the internet fine and then all of a sudden it'll drop and nothing will load and then it'll come back up again
[19:13] <gmachine_24> olabaz, we still need more information. is it wireless? wired? what have you tried?
[19:13] <olabaz> gmachine_24: It is wireless. I tried restarting router and modem but it's still happening
[19:14] <Guest6041> guys, I have to go       sorry   thanks anyway   I'll be back again later probably.
[19:15] <olabaz> gmachine_24: I am also connected to the wifi on my phone and while it's down on the computer it's working on my phone
[19:16] <gmachine_24> olabaz, is this a new problem? were you able to connect before with this machine using ubuntu/linux? or is it a fresh install.
[19:17] <olabaz> it's a pretty recent install
[19:17] <gmachine_24> olabaz, but did it work before?
[19:18] <olabaz> gmachine_24: not sure because I only started using ubuntu seriously for about a week and i've had the issue since
[19:18] <gmachine_24> so, in your experience, has it ever worked on this machine?
[19:18] <gmachine_24> yes or no
[19:19] <olabaz> gmachine_24: no
[19:19] <gmachine_24> see, was that so difficult?
[19:20] <olabaz> gmachine_24: I got disconnected, sorry
[19:20] <gmachine_24> haha funny. ok so what happens when you do an $iwconfig
[19:22] <olabaz> gmachine_24: let me paste
[19:22] <gmachine_24> olabaz, paste it in pastebin.ubuntu.com, right?
[19:22] <olabaz> yes
[19:23] <olabaz> gmachine_24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6822074/
[19:24] <ericP> if i installed enterprise architect under wine $(wine Downloads/easetup.exe), how do i know what program to run once the exe is installed?
[19:25] <Beldar> Linoron, read only, is a bit of a confusing at least to me variable. Does the usb have more than one partition and is it a flash drive?
[19:25] <ericP> i imagine it installed something in some virtual drive, but i have no idea what the name is or how to address it from the unix command line, as in $(wine ???)
[19:26] <Linoron> Beldar: I used the startup disk creator tool and let it reformat the drive and create it as default live usb stick, no extra partitions or anything
[19:27] <Linoron> Beldar: it asked me how much spacde I wanted for files, I increased the default setting, and therefore I was expecting to get a writeable sstick
[19:28] <Beldar> Linoron, Hmm, it should format as an fat32, not sure why you think it is read only.
[19:29] <Beldar> Linoron, So in other words the startup disk creator tool refuses to write to the stick?
[19:29] <Linoron> Beldar: when I reboot from the same stick, none of the environment changes I make to Ubuntu has been saved...
[19:30] <Beldar> Linoron, You have to have it persistent to have it save.
[19:30] <Linoron> I have to turn on the firewall again, set the wifi password again, etc. on each reboot, does not keep anything I do between boots
[19:30] <Linoron> Beldar: so is there a default setting that is set to NOT be persistent?
[19:31] <Linoron> how do I do that?
[19:31] <Beldar> Linoron, Yes the default does not setup persistent in most usb loaders.
[19:31] <Beldar> Linoron, Been awhile since I used that app but I beleieve it is right on that gui you use to load the usb.
[19:32] <Beldar> believe*
[19:32] <harrisr> how can i change mac adress
[19:32] <Linoron> Beldar: my goodness, and where can that be changed, or do I have to re-make the usb?
[19:33] <gmachine_24> olabaz, what about when you do $lspci | grep -i wireless
[19:33] <olabaz> gmachine_24: i don't get anything
[19:33] <Beldar> Linoron, Be sure to make the persistent big enough, and realize it is not cleanable and will fill up after awhile. If you have room for a second partition you can make it a persistent.
[19:36] <OerHeks> harrisr, open networkmanager, edit your  wired connection > add mac to cloned mac adress
[19:36] <harrisr> i am on wireless
[19:36] <OerHeks> harrisr, oh, same thing, did you open networkmanager to find out?
[19:36] <Linoron> Beldar: I am quite sure that the place where I specify the size to keep documents and settings is the same as making it persistent, which is what I have done. No other settings in that window...
[19:36] <gmachine_24> olabaz, what about just lspci, post that in pastebin
[19:36] <gmachine_24> $lspci
[19:36] <olabaz> gmachine_24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6822161/
[19:36] <harrisr> OerHeks, \
[19:36] <harrisr> what do you mean
[19:37] <Jordan_U> Linoron: I highly recommend a normal installation to a USB drive over a "persistant liveusb".
[19:37] <harrisr> OerHeks, i want to change my mac adress so i can max out dropbox referalls
[19:37] <harrisr> what is the easiest way
[19:37] <Beldar> Linoron, Kind of a confusing description "the place where I specify the size to keep documents and settings" you would have used persistent named persistent if it is persistent. If this is another partition it is not persistent unless setup as.
[19:38] <Linoron> Beldar: that is the only option in the startup disk creator window...
[19:38] <OerHeks> harrisr, as i told you, edit your network connection, and add it
[19:39] <Beldar> Linoron, I have rarely used that app, and happen to be in windows at the moment so can't really be any more specific. .
[19:39] <OerHeks> harrisr, and please do NOT ask me to get more dropbox refferals,.
[19:40] <gmachine_24> olabaz, I don't suppose you know what kind of chipset the wireless is using?
[19:40] <Linoron> Jordan_U: to do a normal installation to a usb stick, can that be done to a 4gb stick, or is that too small? Does such an installation also require normal partitioning, swap partition, etc.?
[19:40] <harrisr> OerHeks,  i typed the mac adrees in the clone why is the save button greyed out
[19:40] <gmachine_24> olabaz, it doesn't appear in those lists
[19:40] <olabaz> gmachine_24: Realtek RTL8187
[19:40] <leblaaanc> if i change my hostname via the hostname and /etc/hostname what else do I need to do for that to "propagate" throughout my local network?
[19:40] <OerHeks> harrisr, maybe stop networking before editting ?
[19:41] <leblaaanc> i tried service networking restart
[19:41] <harrisr> how do i do that
[19:41] <Linoron> Beldar: ok
[19:42] <MoleMan> Could somebody provide instructions / a basic how-to for compiling SSH Server 6.2 for Ubuntu server 12.04, or even better provide a link to pre-compiled version please?
[19:42] <Jordan_U> Linoron: 4 GiB will be tight on space, but should fit with some room left over (the installer will warn you if you don't have enough space). Swap is no more or less needed than with a persistant USB "install". If you don't need to hibernate you'll probably do fine without it.
[19:43] <addicted> $(AR) -x $(STFL_STATIC_LIB)
[19:43] <Jordan_U> MoleMan: What is your end goal?
[19:43] <OerHeks> MoleMan, saucy has 6.2, next trusty 6.4
[19:43] <Beldar> Linoron, I am looking at a picture of the app, the persistent is the stored in reserved extra space, it has a slider, this is what you mean you set up correct?
[19:45] <Linoron> Beldar: got a url to that image?
[19:45] <MoleMan> Jordan_U: I want the multiple required auth methods for TOTP and SSH keys
[19:45] <gmachine_24> olabaz, if you know what version of the rtl8187 you have there are some linux drivers posted by realtek here http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8185L
[19:46] <Linoron> Beldar: yes, that slider...
[19:46] <olabaz> gmachine_24: yes I just downloaded one of them but I can't compile it
[19:46] <konnor> hello anyone know a app i can use to use my old laptop as a wifi repeater
[19:46] <konnor> ?
[19:46] <pers3us> konnor: I don't think thats possible
[19:46] <gmachine_24> olabaz, ok. I gave you the wrong link anyway....... you got one for the rtl8187 right?
[19:46] <Beldar> Linoron, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick  notice the discard button I assume this means clean that space when turned off, I am also assuming this is a persistent option, I have never really used this tool.
[19:46] <Linoron> Beldar: that is the one I chose and set to use 1gb, which I have got, but it does not keep the settings data there more than one siession at a time. When restarting, everything is back to default...
[19:47] <olabaz> gmachine_24: yeah it's there if you scroll down here is my error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6822208/
[19:47] <omega14> How do I boot from external hard drive
[19:47] <Paddy_NI> Is there anything available for Ubuntu like Cerbere? https://launchpad.net/cerbere
[19:47] <Jordan_U> konnor: Does your laptop have two wireless cards?
[19:48] <omega14> How do I boot from external hard drive in grub
[19:48] <Paddy_NI> Cerbere is a sort of watchdog designed for Pantheon. It monitors a predefined list of processes (configurable through dconf) and relaunches them if they end. This is helpful to keep the panel, dock, and wallpaper running, even if they crash or are killed by another process.
[19:48] <gmachine_24> olabaz, that stuff is above my pay grade. perhaps another intrepid chat room person can tell you why it will not compile
[19:49] <olabaz> gmachine_24: ok thanks for the help!
[19:49] <MoleMan> OerHeks: server 12.04 only has openSSH server 5.9 ? I need 6.2 for the 'AuthenticationMethods ' option
[19:49] <olabaz> hey, I cannot compile these drivers for my wireless card I get these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/6822208/ any ideas?
[19:49] <gmachine_24> olabaz, you said this wireless connection works on windows, right? so you know the wireless hardware is good........??
[19:49] <olabaz> gmachine_24:  yeah
[19:49] <gmachine_24> olabaz, ok. good to know.
[19:50] <OerHeks> MoleMan, upgrade to sausy then, and you will have no dependencie problems
[19:50] <Beldar> Linoron, 1 gig is rather small I would use the max allowed, and make sure you do not have the discard on shutdown ticked, If you do not have more space to make a persistent partition it seems a loading the usb again with a larger recovery and no discard is needed
[19:50] <harrisr> OerHeks,  how does dropbox know if it is the same computer
[19:51] <MoleMan> OerHeks: yeah, this was the issue I didn't want to have to upgrade my whole server, unless there is a relatively easy way to upgrade from 12.04 to 13.10 and keep most stuff intact?
[19:51] <OerHeks> harrisr, please stop questions how to get more refferals on dropbox
[19:51] <gmachine_24> olabaz, I did read somewhere - but this was a post from a few years ago - that someone had success when they emailed realtek and god a driver that was not available on the Web site.
[19:51] <gmachine_24> *got
[19:51] <gmachine_24> sorry
[19:51] <Linoron> Beldar: the discard on shutdown option is a radio button, not a tick box, so when using the slider, it is automatically deselected...
[19:52] <gmachine_24> olabaz, got a driver as in realtek emailed them back
[19:52] <olabaz> gmachine_24: Yeah, I'll try that if this doesn't work
[19:52] <norad> hey have a quastion for you guys how come you cant install vlc master branch ppa on ubuntu 12.04 when i do a dist upgrade it deletes the xorg display
[19:52] <pers3us> olabaz: Any particular reason it didn't compile?
[19:53] <olabaz> pers3us: I have these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/6822208/
[19:53] <pers3us> olabaz: and the driver isn't avialable via jockey?
[19:53] <OerHeks> MoleMan, maybe you can build it yourself > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh  but there can be dependencie problems, so upgrade is the best way to get 6.2
[19:53] <olabaz> pers3us: didn't try jockey
[19:54] <MoleMan> OerHeks: yeah, someone's just given me the info to compile myself in #ubuntu-server but I suppose if I could easily upgrade that would be the better option
[19:54] <gmachine_24> olabaz, here is some info from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/p/rtl-wifi/discussion/652149/thread/0a48538e
[19:54] <MoleMan> but I have an AWS instance I'd need to be able to upgrade as well which could be more difficult
[19:54] <Beldar> Linoron, loading a usb has limitations you are adding a file of mods to a read only iso, a wifi password should be kept however if saved correctly. I use unetbootin at times mainly another multiloader, both have persistent options, it may be as simple as the size you set is just to small. This is not rocket science, I have never had persistent fail ever if set up correctly. ;)
[19:55] <jcrza> I'm putting together a home server and I want it to be as secure as possible. What's a hardening guide you'd recommend?
[19:55] <pers3us> olabaz: Jockey as in extra (unsupported by ubuntu drivers) drivers that you can download from Additional Driver or whatever its called now.
[19:55] <olabaz> pers3us: yeah I just ran it and nothing came up
[19:55] <MoleMan> jcrza: never allow login as root
[19:55] <Vivekananda> Hey everyone I am trying to figure if my computer supports harware acceleration. It has ubuntu 12.04 . Can someoen tell me how to find this out ?
[19:55] <jcrza> MoleMan will do
[19:56] <pers3us> There should be Realtek maintained driver over there. If not the compilation doesn't look like your problem. Something is wrong with the driver they have given you.
[19:56] <MoleMan> SSH keys are better than passwords, if you can, multi factor auth is a good one
[19:57] <dougl> Vivekananda, what kind of video card?
[19:57] <Linoron> Beldar: yes, I have made many such live usb sticks myself, just not with the latest ubuntu versions since 2012, so I was wondiering if there was a difference from Lucid Lynx...
[19:57] <MoleMan> ie my server only allows password auth from the local network, SSH keys only from anything outside the local subnet, and I'm working on 2 factor auth using Google Auth time based one time passwords as well
[19:57] <Beldar> Linoron, In this area no.
[19:58] <gmachine_24> olabaz, I'm reading that recent Linux kernel supports the rtl8187
[19:58] <jcrza> MoleMan sounds pretty good!
[19:59] <FreewheelinFrank> I keep getting a crash with nautilus, SIGSEGV
[19:59] <olabaz> gmachine_24: yeah I think I'm having this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869369&p=5871563#post5871563
[20:01] <gmachine_24> olabaz, yeah that says it's solved but I can find out how
[20:01] <Paddy_NI> I just downloaded "cerbere_0.2+r42-0+pkg13+r1~precise1_amd64.deb" and installed it instead. :-)

[20:04] <olabaz> gmachine_24: yeah but I'm not sure what to do there
[20:04] <Beldar> HALanon9000, Have you changed anything in the sources.list?
[20:05] <Wilkim> hello
[20:05] <Beldar> HALanon9000, are you using a update command IE sudo apt-get update
[20:06] <gmachine_24> olabaz, well, there's this http://sourceforge.net/p/rtl-wifi/code/HEAD/tree/
[20:06] <HALanon9000> i've used the sudo apt-add repository command, but i haven't edited since. i've had it working since my last edit. andi've tried a bunch of apt-get commands with the same results

[20:09] <gmachine_24> olabaz, I feel your pain; just built a home server to run headless and cannot get a usb wifi configured.... it's supported by ubuntu because I've plugged it in to other Ubuntu computers but (I guess) since the server install is minimal the drivers are not included
[20:10] <olabaz> gmachine_24: yeah it's annoying
[20:10] <HALanon9000> i'm a dumby. i probably could have figured that out myself. sudo apt-get update fixed the problem
[20:10] <Korny> runnign a server over wifi..... I don't blame them for not including the drivers
[20:10] <HALanon9000> thanks guys
[20:10] <gmachine_24> olabaz, I don't want to spend more $$$ buying a wireless card as I know this usb device works well........ meanwhile I have a cable running across my living room...yes, annoying
[20:11] <Beldar> HALanon9000, You might try these to commands. sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:11] <Beldar> then  sudo apt-get -f install

[20:11] <gmachine_24> greetings earthlings. does ubuntu have a project such as owncloud or the like to help users build their own cloud server?
[20:12] <lifeforms> whoops, what I meant was: how 'dangerous' is it to use apt-get dist-upgrade as a matter of course when running LTS?
[20:12] <DJones> !cloud | gmachine_24
[20:12] <Seveas> DJones: that's an entirely different thing :)
[20:12] <gmachine_24> DJones, merci.
[20:13] <Seveas> gmachine_24: ubuntu ships owncloud packages
[20:13] <HALanon9000> error message went away too.
[20:13] <Beldar> lifeforms, I always do, just watch for any held packages you do not want to do a partial upgrade is all.
[20:13] <Seveas> gmachine_24: there's also 'ubuntu one' as a hosted solution

Using the graphical users app also errors, and just says exiting with error code 1.
[20:16] <lifeforms> Beldar: thanks :) I usually only see the kernel packages held back, I have a script that updates a box and I wonder if it would be prudent to add a 'apt-get dist-upgrade -fy linux-\*' to it...

[20:18] <gmachine_24> Seveas, yes, I know about Ubuntu one...just not a fan of storing 101011001 one someone else's computer
[20:19] <Seveas> gmachine_24: then use owncloud :)
[20:19] <Seveas> brewmaster619: what
[20:19] <Seveas> brewmaster619: what's the output of 'fuser /etc/subuid.lock'
[20:20] <Beldar> lifeforms, Personally I want to see my updates upgrades, but that's just me.
[20:25] <blocky> does installing my system to an extended partition change where I need to install the bootloader?
[20:25] <Seveas> blocky: you'll still want to install the bootloader to the mbr
[20:26] <blocky> Seveas: the last time i installed a bootloader to a partition and not the mbr i think it was LILO and not grub, is that even still done?
[20:29] <Seveas> blocky: can't remember the last time I saw anyone use lilo
[20:30] <Vivekananda> anyone care to comment on how to find out if my intel cpu supports hardware acceleration
[20:31] <bekks> Vivekananda: Enter the make and model on ark.intel.com
[20:31] <lifeforms> Beldar: yeah, I'm thinking just the kernel might not be so problematic, I'll try it and if it breaks down horribly I've learned something :)
[20:31] <bekks> Vivekananda: you can find the exact make and model using "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[20:31] <lifeforms> Beldar: thanks again!
[20:32] <Vivekananda>  Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T8100  @ 2.10GHz
[20:32] <Vivekananda> bekks I got that   Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T8100  @ 2.10GHz
[20:32] <bekks> Vivekananda: Now enter that T8100 on ark.intel.com
[20:33] <Seveas> Vivekananda: grep --color vmx /proc/cpuinfo
[20:34] <bekks> Seveas: that will result in false negatives if VT-x is disabled in the BIOS.
[20:35] <Seveas> bekks: true, but does any OEM do that?
[20:35] <bekks> Seveas: sure, pretty much do.
[20:35] <Vivekananda> bekks: Seveas this site  http://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/speeding-up-the-android-emulator-on-intel-architecture   tells me I need : intel VT-x, EM64T and Execute Disable(XD) Bit functionality enabled from the BIOS.    to get hardware acceleration. Now I see a yes for vt x but dont see anything about the other two
[20:36] <Vivekananda> based on entering the cpu info on the ark site I mean
[20:37] <Beldar> lifeforms, No prob.
[20:37] <bekks> Vivekananda: I dont know what you are reading - but ark.intel.com states that your CPU supports all three requirements.
[20:38] <bekks> Vivekananda: "Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x): yes", "Intel 64: yes", "Execute disable bit: yes"
[20:39] <Vivekananda> ooo okay thanks. I did not see the words EM64 T and XD anywhere so did not know what to look for an ddont know what they mean too. Also my current OS that is loaded is 32 bit linux 12.04 ( ubuntu) not the 64 bit
[20:40] <Vivekananda> does that affect things ?
[20:40] <brewmaster619> Seveas: the output of fuser /etc/subuid.lock is nothing;
[20:40] <bekks> Vivekananda: No.
[20:40] <bekks> Vivekananda: you can setup a vm as well, running 64bit.
[20:41] <Vivekananda> so I have to just enabble the XD bios setting ( wherever that might be ) then ? I have a lenovo t61
[20:43] <bekks> Vivekananda: does your "cat /proc/cpuinfo" output list "vmx"? If so, it is already enabled.
[20:46] <Seveas> brewmaster619: and the output of ls -la /etc/subuid.lock ?
[20:48] <brewmaster619> Seveas: ls -la /etc/subuid.lock output is: -rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 30 08:27 /etc/subuid.lock
[20:49] <brewmaster619> so maybe I shoudl just delete that file?
[20:53] <Seveas> brewmaster619: yeah, get rid of it

[20:57] <mikubuntu> after i cleared/copied all files from my 'old' laptop to a usb -- i went to install ubuntustudio (also from a usb), but after starting to boot, the screen went completely black and the machine completely quiet -- no whirring of hdd, and of course the usb doesn't spin like a cd. but i didn't see any lights blinking or any indication that it was doing anything.
[20:58] <brewmaster619> Seveas:  That seemed to do it; subgid.lock had the same problem; was locked by root at the same time the other files was; I must have had a system lock-up and did a forced shutdown that day or something.
[20:58] <spoown> Hello to all, I have a simple question, does anyone known how can I transform one big line where each element is separated by ',' , into another file where each element is a line ? probably one command does it but don't remember !
[20:59] <brewmaster619> Thanks!
[20:59] <mikubuntu> i got flustered, and thought well, i'll try installing lubuntu instead from a disk, but the disk also, seemed to get to a particular point, and then go black and the computer silent -- no indication that it was writing to the hdd at all.

[21:00] <r0b-> HD6670
[21:00] <OerHeks> r0b-, depends on your ati card
[21:00] <Beldar> andcanelon, Is that with or that
[21:00] <r0b-> nothing fancy but meh
[21:00] <hitsujiTMO> r0b- yes it works on 13.10 and 12.04.3/12.04.4
[21:01] <r0b-> I cant get it to work with my Xubuntu 13.10.
[21:01] <r0b-> so i was thinking ill go back to 12.04 :)
[21:01] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: did you generate a xorg.conf for it with: sudo aticonfig --initial             ?
[21:01] <r0b-> yes.
[21:02] <r0b-> the desktop environment fails to load.
[21:02] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: are you on a 13.10 now with the driver installed?
[21:02] <r0b-> I am using the OpenSource Driver currently.
[21:03] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: how did you install fglrx?
[21:03] <r0b-> Apt-get
[21:03] <mikubuntu> the old installation had about 15 gigs of files i saved, plus it had another 25-30 gigs in code from all the apps that were on it --- is it possible that it was silent because it was quietly overwriting, or possible something is awry? i aborted, and am running dban now -- its been running 44 mins, and says remaining time is 9 hours and some.
[21:03] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: if you had it running currently we could check the logs for the cause of the issue
[21:04] <r0b-> hitsujiTMO: right now i have a Ubuntu 12.04.3 USB booted scanning an unknown hard drive for errors.

[21:06] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: it should have a minimal effect on the scan
[21:06] <YaMoonSun> Oh? A redirect would be lovel.y
[21:06] <YaMoonSun> Im dumb, nvm
[21:06] <r0b-> hitsujiTMO: i dont have the FGLRX driver installed righ now.
[21:07] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: yes i know
[21:07] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: gonna look for some other specifics
[21:07] <user2> Can somebody help me find the Xresources file on my Ubuntu 13.10 Server?
[21:07] <r0b-> and im not at that PC right now.
[21:07] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: ahh. kk
[21:08] <r0b-> Not trying to be tough man :)
[21:08] <ulkesh> spoown: or if you need it in another file when done instead of :wq<ENTER>  do  :w <new file name><ENTER>  and then :q<ENTER>
[21:09] <hitsujiTMO> user2: ~/.Xresources      it may not exist initally
[21:09] <spoown> ulkesh,  so simple, shame on me :) thanks a lot, it's working :) I did it with sed
[21:09] <ulkesh> spoown: ah, i never learned sed :)
[21:09] <r0b-> hitsujiTMO: i do remember the driver working fine on 12.04.3 so i may have to step back :)
[21:10] <ulkesh> spoown: although i suppose the syntax is similar in vi (the %s)
[21:10] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: installing 12.04 now will put you on 12.04.4 ... the same stack as in saucy
[21:10] <r0b-> on my hard drive i have Xubuntu 13.10 64bit.
[21:10] <r0b-> oh
[21:11] <kriskropd> I'm in a unique position of strictly ssh access to a machine I have sitting in front of me (xorg seg-faulted and left all my processes running while completely making my displays and mouse and keyboard unresponsive) - I'd like to copy the buffer of each urxvt process I have running to a text file named after the PID
[21:11] <r0b-> well then
[21:11] <kriskropd> does anyone know how to do that?
[21:12] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: relevant info here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[21:12] <r0b-> hitsujiTMO: could 64bit cause any issues?
[21:12] <spoown> ulkesh,  should have work in vi, but it is not actually, that's why I did it with sed ! that's why I did try with sed !
[21:12] <spoown> ulkesh,  but excellent idea :)
[21:12] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: nope. you should be using 64bit.
[21:13] <ulkesh> spoown: hmm, it definitely should work in vi :)  but ah well, still worked your way and was probably faster
[21:13] <r0b-> or 13.10 is to new :)
[21:13] <nakadai> o/
[21:13] <hitsujiTMO> r0b-: i'd presume it was some odd config issue with the newer stack. prob easily fixed
[21:14] <spoown> ulkesh,  it did change the character in the file, but when you want to see afterwards the file, it is still in one line... but anyway it's working in sed , and yes your are right, it is faster with sed...
[21:16]  * r0b- will mess with it at some point
[21:16] <r0b-> i like Xubuntu because its the ONLY desktop environment that properly supports my 2 monitors.
[21:17] <chris________> hi all, unable to get to dashboard and have installed compiz settings. It wont allow me to select Unity Plugin. How can i fix this? I have no dash
[21:17] <ulkesh> spoown: maybe \r would've worked then, i never know the best one to use (or the combo of \r\n)
[21:19] <nightlingo> yo!!!
[21:19] <r0b-> brb
[21:19] <nightlingo> guys... I am running xubuntu 12.04  and I need libudev.so.1
[21:19] <aleza84> hey, need help with RFID reader, its a HID simple reader, gots detected but does not read tags I got the dmesg and other logs
[21:20] <nightlingo> when I apt-get install libudev1 it says package not found
[21:20] <nightlingo> I guess this is just for newer distros of ubuntu
[21:20] <chris________> anyone, please? Can you help , me with No dashboard?
[21:20] <bekks> nightlingo: apt-cache search libudev
[21:20] <hitsujiTMO> !info libudev1
[21:20] <TeraJL> i have system load indicator, and it's set with "ondemand" but almost all times , even with nothing on, it is at 2.20Ghz(max), it only goes to minimal for less than a second and up again during a long time... is it normal? if it's not can someone help me to check why it's like this?.. i only have pidgin on at the moment
[21:20] <Seveas> nightlingo: on 12.04 it was probably still libudev0. Why do you suddenly need this file? You're most likely doing something wrong.
[21:20] <hitsujiTMO> !info libudev1 precise
[21:20] <nightlingo> there  is a specific program I want to run
[21:21] <hitsujiTMO> !info libudev precise
[21:21] <nightlingo> that requires libudev.so.1
[21:21] <Seveas> nightlingo: then it won't work on 12.04.
[21:21] <hitsujiTMO> !find libudev.so.1 precise
[21:21] <Seveas> hitsujiTMO: stop it.
[21:21] <nightlingo> I was thinking of not installing it.. just putting it in the local program's directory
[21:21] <hitsujiTMO> Seveas: sorry
[21:21] <nightlingo> ubottu: yeah... it's not in the precise distro
[21:21] <nightlingo> lol
[21:22] <bekks> nightlingo: Which program do you try to run actually?
[21:22] <nightlingo> bekks: it's cgminer
[21:22] <Seveas> nightlingo: you could grab its sources from current ubuntu and compile it on your version. That may just work.
[21:23] <nightlingo> Seveas: yeah that would be my final solution
[21:23] <spoown> ulkesh,  indeed, \r is working... it's better :) but sed is fatser :P
[21:23] <nightlingo> Seveas: but I thought I should try first just putting this file in the local dir
[21:23] <Seveas> nightlingo: bad idea.
[21:23] <nightlingo> Seveas: why ?
[21:23] <Seveas> using a new libudev on an old ubuntu is not going to work
[21:24] <k1l> echt jetzt
[21:24] <bekks> nightlingo: It will not work most likely, because that library requires things that arent supported by your 12.04
[21:24] <nightlingo> I thought it was standalone
[21:24] <bekks> nightlingo: It isnt.
[21:24] <Seveas> nightlingo: a better option might be to update your Ubuntu install 12.04 is almost two years old.
[21:24] <bekks> nightlingo: Thats why it is a library, not a statically compiled pile of code.
[21:24] <Seveas> looking at the dependencies for cgminer, I don't think it'll work on 12.04
[21:25] <bekks> Seveas: Waiting until 14.04 is more usefull.
[21:25] <nightlingo> Seveas: problem is that when I tried the latest ersion of xubuntu (13.X) it was constantly crashing on my 5-GPU machine
[21:25] <Seveas> bekks: meh, LTS is overrated on a desktop
[21:25] <nightlingo> Seveas: you mean building it ?
[21:25] <Seveas> nightlingo: try a 14.04 alpha
[21:26] <bekks> Seveas: For you, maybe. For others, it's pretty much what they want.
[21:26] <bekks> Seveas: And please dont suggest using alpha software.
[21:26] <chris________> AHi, sorry to be inpatient, but its getting late jere. I have no dash in 13.10. Can you help? I have tried the suggestions
[21:26] <Seveas> bekks: bullshit. most people want new software over stable but old. And trying an alpha from a live cd is just fine to see if it works on your machine.
[21:27] <hitsujiTMO> nightlingo: seems many have gotten cgminer working on 12.04: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=189499.0 maybe look for specific tuts
[21:27] <nightlingo> I guess a test wouldn't hurt
[21:27] <bekks> Seveas: Please watch your language and please stop assuming all people want bleeding edge software over stable, tested software.
[21:27] <r0b-> bbl
[21:27] <Beldar> chris________, This a fresh install, have you had a working desktop?
[21:27] <chris________> fresh install over windows
[21:28] <chris________> I have installed compizconf-settings-manager
[21:28] <nightlingo> hitsujiTMO: I will take a look at it thanks!
[21:28] <chris________> I ran ccsm
[21:28] <Seveas> nightlingo: and cgminer will work from a live install too. If you do go for the backport route, you can grab the sources from latest Ubuntu, but you can't use dpkg-buildpackage as it uses a too new version of debhelper
[21:28] <Beldar> chris________, which release, and again has the desktop worked yeT?
[21:29] <chris________> it wont alow me to select unity plugin.  Not had it working yet...
[21:29] <nightlingo> Seveas: hmmm...  I guess I will just test it on 14.0 as you said, on a live usb
[21:29] <Beldar> chris________, I would try the unity compiz reset for that release is what I'm getting to then do a reboot and see if it's in order.
[21:29] <nightlingo> Seveas: and if it works there then I'll install it
[21:29] <nightlingo> Seveas: thanks!
[21:29] <Seveas> nightlingo: np, good luck!
[21:30] <chris________> it boots and I can get into shell and I have tried the reset option
[21:30] <Juju> hola, mi hermana es un poco torpe buscando el gestor de software... ¿Alguien recuerda una WEB que tiene los enlaces apt?
[21:30] <Juju> es que ya no se como decirle donde está
[21:30] <Seveas> !es | Juju
[21:30] <Juju> Oh!!! sorry
[21:31] <Juju> hahaha i thought i was in the spanish room
[21:31] <Juju> sorry
[21:31] <Beldar> chris________, Are you missing graphic drivers maybe, do you know what the card is?
[21:31] <chris________> I don't just a basic p4
[21:31] <Juju> Hello!! I am looking for that web where you can install like apt-get "software center"
[21:32] <k1l> Juju: you mean packages.ubuntu.com?
[21:32] <Beldar> chris________, You might just install a light desktop to have one going while you get unity running.
[21:32] <bekks> Juju: On Ubuntu, you normally use the software-center or apt-get for installing software, not some web page. :)
[21:32] <chris________> when I go into usr apps it brings up the apps etc inc terminal. I eve tried dconf  reset too
[21:32] <compaq|armada> k
[21:33] <chris________> what command can I use to install a different OS?
[21:33] <chris________> i.e 12/04
[21:33] <Myrtti> chris________: different os?
[21:33] <Beldar> chris________, Not a OS a desktop
[21:33] <mikubuntu> after i cleared/copied all files from my 'old' laptop to a usb -- i went to install ubuntustudio (also from a usb), but after starting to boot, the screen went completely black and the machine completely quiet -- no whirring of hdd, and of course the usb doesn't spin like a cd. but i didn't see any lights blinking or any indication that it was doing anything.
[21:34] <mikubuntu> i got flustered, and thought well, i'll try installing lubuntu instead from a disk, but the disk also, seemed to get to a particular point, and then go black and the computer silent -- no indication that it was writing to the hdd at all.
[21:34] <edve> need any support with SNMP anyone out there knows how to configure the snmpd.conf file ?
[21:34] <mikubuntu> the old installation had about 15 gigs of files i saved, plus it had another 25-30 gigs in code from all the apps that were on it --- is it possible that it was silent because it was quietly overwriting, or possible something is awry? i aborted, and am running dban now -- its been running 44 mins, and says remaining time is 9 hours and some.
[21:34] <chris________> ahh duuurr lol. a different version of ubuntu? Just to see if that works
[21:34] <bekks> chris________: No.
[21:34] <bekks> chris________: a different desktop, not a different Ubuntu version.
[21:35] <bekks> chris________: Like kde, gnome, unity, lxde, xfce - on the very same ubuntu version you are on.
[21:35] <Juju> bekks» i know, but a web with this possibilities exits
[21:35] <k1l> chris________: install the package: lubuntu-desktop. that will install lubuntu with lxde as desktop. that is more lightweight
[21:35] <Seveas> edve: what do you want to know about it?
[21:35] <bekks> Juju: Even if it does, it isnt recommended to use those websites.
[21:36] <Juju> k1l» something like that, but with icons and a searcher... THANK YOU anyway
[21:36] <glitsj16> Juju: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/ perhaps?
[21:36] <chris________> trying to install the lxde option now
[21:36] <Juju> glitsj16» YES!!
[21:36] <edve> Seveas : actually i'm trying only to set the community and allow any host on my network to snmpget and it dosnt seems to work :/
[21:36] <Juju> thanks so so so so so much

[21:40] <kiwi_> hi ... how can i capture embedded flash (.swf) videos. not the ones at youtube. the EMBEDDED ones. i assume they cant be downloaded, can they? at least there should be a way to capture the video stream using ffmpeg or something else. any idea?
[21:40] <jjavaholic> I'm currently experiencing this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/375972/unity-and-mouse-cursor-problems-13-10
[21:40] <edve> Seveas : i'll giving it a try right away
[21:40] <bekks> kiwi_: everything that can be watched on the internet can be downloaded as well.
[21:40] <nightlingo> !info libudev1 trusty
[21:41] <kiwi_> bekks, great. how? :-)
[21:41] <bekks> nightlingo: just use packages.ubuntu.com
[21:41] <bekks> nightlingo: you dont have to abuse the bot ;)
[21:41] <mraky> Lubuntu  is  very light..
[21:41] <kiwi_> bekks, those embedded videos dont tell the url of their source.
[21:42] <hitsujiTMO> jjavaholic: you'd have to contact the ppa maintainers for help. You've replaced core components with versions from the ppa
[21:43] <nightlingo> bekks: sorry :)
[21:43] <sidiney> JamesNZ,  i check the logcat
[21:43] <jjavaholic> for what?
[21:43] <skinux> Is Screenlets official Ubuntu package or third party?
[21:43] <jjavaholic> how do I find the PPA?
[21:43] <hitsujiTMO> jjavaholic: what ppa did you install for gnome 3.10?
[21:44] <skinux> It's unwise to modify Windows partition using Linux, right?
[21:44] <bekks> skinux: correct.
[21:44] <hitsujiTMO> skinux: yes.
[21:44] <jjavaholic> could you point me in the right direction to the bug which describes the problem?
[21:44] <Seveas> skinux: true, but that does not hold for files on those partitions
[21:45] <skinux> I already work with files on Windows partition, but I meant changing partition size, that sort of thing.
[21:45] <hitsujiTMO> jjavaholic: its not a bug. you've simply replaced the core components that unity uses with a different version therefore breaking unity
[21:45] <HALanon9000> i just installed the cinnamon desktop enviroment on ubuntu 12.04, and now theres a bunch of icons missing. is there an easy fix to this? or do i have to fix them individually?
[21:45] <TJ-> Do we have any VGA text-mode x86 real-mode experts?
[21:45] <Seveas> skinux: and shrinking windows partitions from linux (especially from the installer) is generally safe. Backups are always advised though.
[21:46] <jjavaholic> I need to stop the bad habit of installing PPA to short term "resolve issues"
[21:47] <Beldar> HALanon9000, from a ppa right, if so not technically supported here is all.
[21:47] <skinux> Cool. I might use Windows to do it anyway since I don't have any good backups currently.
[21:47] <hitsujiTMO> jjavaholic: test in first in a virtual machine is always a good way to go
[21:48] <jjavaholic> virtual machines takes up so much storage space  * cries a little inside * I might bite the bullet though anyway
[21:49] <luca> Dear friends, could you explain how to attach ISO to the virtual machine??
[21:49] <Beldar> jjavaholic, Hardly more than an install.
[21:49] <bekks> jjavaholic: Full blown testing vm with 4 different desktops take about 10G here. Thats not "much space".
[21:51] <jjavaholic> I used virctual box and set aside separate iso for each distro (windows) then I kinda realised years ago that I was needlessly using up that space and ditched them all.
[21:51] <jjavaholic> what was what seemed like years ago now though
[21:52] <glitsj16> sh0t: you're not crazy .. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466 .. mixed reports though on possible fixes
[21:52] <jjavaholic> I have had a quick look and i'm pretty sure it was this outdated ppa: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu
[21:53] <skinux> I'm not sure it's appropriate, but anyone know if I can install Windows 8.1 into VBox while it's still installed on it's own partition?
[21:53] <bekks> skinux: Sure.
[21:53] <sh0t> glitsj16, yeah! not sure how to proceed
[21:54] <skinux> Isn't there a rule limiting how many installations can be had by one person using same key?
[21:54] <bekks> skinux: Yes, there is. But it is irrelevant to Ubuntu at all.
[21:55] <jjavaholic> 2 I think
[21:55] <jjavaholic> 2 or three
[21:55] <skinux> Sorry, I took a shot in this channel since Windows channel usually doesn't have a lot of "dual booters".
[21:55] <skinux> Thanks jjavaholic.
[21:56] <blocky> does anyone know where a wallpaper is saved if you set it from firefox? i want to use the same wallpaper for my terminal background
[21:56] <blocky> nvmhmm fasdf
[21:56] <glitsj16> sh0t: easiest would be installing the 3.12 or 3.13 kernel
[21:56] <blocky> sorry. nevermind, just found it in my home directory
[21:57] <harris> In ubuntu virtual box keeps aborting when trying to run ubuntu
[21:57] <sh0t> yeah i glitsj16 i tried with 3.12 but it still was kernel panicking. A question: if i install 3.12 kernel do i also need to compile the driver i found on internet or does it support it natively?
[21:58] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: it should be supported natively
[21:58] <glitsj16> sh0t: according to the bug report several people had succes without compiling anything
[21:59] <sh0t> thanks hitsujiTMO, glitsj16  i'll try so i download the image and the headers and in run dpkg -i on them then upgrade-grub and then reboot
[21:59] <sh0t> ?
[21:59] <glitsj16> sh0t: correct
[21:59] <sh0t> thanks glitsj16
[21:59] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: installing the image will trigger update grub, but yup
[21:59] <skinux> Oh, something else I need is to give Ubuntu a SWAP partition. Somehow it vanished.
[22:00] <sh0t> another question guys should i uninstall the driver i installed before?
[22:00] <sh0t> with a make uninstall?
[22:00] <sh0t> and removing it from /etc/modules
[22:00] <dstar69> ubuntu 12.04 unity - skype installed, recognises video in the settings menu, but not while ringing.
[22:00] <sh0t> i guess ?
[22:00] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: that would be a good idea
[22:00] <dstar69> i can only find old (2012) fixes that don't seem to apply
[22:01]  * skinux keeps wondering why Ubuntu removed "Application" and "System" menus.
[22:01] <Beldar> dstar69, This skype from the ubuntu repos?
[22:01] <sh0t> thanks hitsujiTMO what about initramfs should i do something with that?
[22:01] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: no that will be triggered
[22:01] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, ok thanks i am proceeding
[22:01] <glitsj16> skinux: you can install an indicator to get those back
[22:02] <Beldar> skinux, ubuntu did not remove them that was gnome 2 now end of life we now have gnome 3
[22:02] <dstar69> beldar - no through skype website
[22:02] <dstar69> couldn't find it in repo
[22:03] <Beldar> dstar69, The one from the repos is the recommended path, I would remove that one and try that
[22:03] <dstar69> do you have a path ahandy? i tried to search for it (but obviously couldn't find it) thanks
[22:03] <Beldar> dstar69, It is in the partners repo is all you would make sure it is on, run a update then sudo apt-get install skyoe
[22:03] <Beldar> skype*
[22:04] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, i rebooted with kernel 3.12 it seems it gets the signal even though it's not strong so i 'll try to navigate a bit and use the network
[22:05] <dstar69> Beldar - will try this now thanks.
[22:06] <Beldar> no prob
[22:07] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, glitsj16 it seems it's working now thanks guys
[22:07] <glitsj16> sh0t: you're welcome, good news
[22:07] <ViaNocturna85> anyone know how to set lightdm back as default login after Kubuntu install over Ubuntu (Saucy)? I tried dpkg-reconfigure lightdm, but still get default Kubuntu greeter
[22:07] <monoclithi> one more convert
[22:08] <k1l> ViaNocturna85: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[22:09] <ViaNocturna85> k1l, I tried that multiple times, no difference
[22:09] <MonkeyDust> ViaNocturna85  paste this line in a terminal screen      sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[22:10] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, glitsj16 just a simple question about you guys you can answer in pt if you want....but how does it work with you guys are u always online helping people with ubuntu?
[22:10] <ViaNocturna85> k1l, aaaah theres the issue
[22:10] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: i've the net hooked to my brain
[22:10] <ViaNocturna85> k1l, thanks very much
[22:10] <sh0t> hitsujiTMO, ahah very good you are the next Jhonny Mnemonic
[22:11] <hitsujiTMO> sh0t: :P but I access irc from everywhere so on constantly
[22:11] <glitsj16> sh0t: lol, i'm spending quite some time in here lately yes, due to some knee troubles i must rest and was getting bored out of the skull
[22:12] <sh0t> i understand guys. good to know...
[22:12] <sh0t> (not for your knee glitsj16 jsut that you hare helping .))
[22:12] <glitsj16> sh0t: :) np
[22:17] <glitsj16> sh0t: you mentioned weak signal, others on the bug report do so too .. you might give instructions on #116 a shot to see if it improves things while you're at it
[22:18] <jpbates13> Is there anyway I can get a version of ubuntu LOWER than 32bit?
[22:18] <dstar69> beldar - can't find skype - tried to put the command in the terminal regardless, says it can't find skype.
[22:18] <jpbates13> if i burn ubuntu to a disk and boot my computer to it...will it overwrite my previous OS?
[22:18] <dstar69> beldar - not 100% sure i have "partner repo" running
[22:19] <Seveas> jpbates13: that makes absolutely no sense. Nobody builds 16 bit CPU's with the power to run anything like ubuntu. Moreover, I'm not sure if linux actually runs on anything 16-bit.
[22:19] <jpbates13> Seveas: Just need it for a virtual machine
[22:19] <dstar69> @jpbates13 if you're running it from the dvd, it won't overwrite.
[22:19] <Seveas> jpbates13: it will only overwrite your installed os if you tell it to.
[22:20] <jpbates13> Seveas: for some reason my Virtual Machine gets a kernal error with the 64bit version
[22:20] <skinux> I guess indicator-appmenu?
[22:20] <jpbates13> Seveas: I'm downloading the 32bit now
[22:21] <jpbates13> Seveas: But if THAT doesn't work...
[22:21] <glitsj16> skinux: for the applications menu old-style? no .. http://www.florian-diesch.de/software/classicmenu-indicator/
[22:22] <demophobia> I have some old Ubuntu installation CD-Rs, e.g. Ubuntu 9.04 i386. What should I do with them? Is there a charity to which they could be donated, or are such old releases obsolete? Is there a good way to recycle or dispose of it, or should I try to use it as a coaster before putting it in a landfill?
[22:22] <k1l> demophobia: that outdated releases are not help
[22:22] <k1l> *no help anymore
[22:23] <SchrodingersScat> demophobia: sounds like you got some coasters
[22:25] <kenny1> I want amd drivers that I can mine crypto with
[22:30] <jerkface03> What happened to the build-essentials package?
[22:30] <jerkface03> apt-get install build-essentials no longer finds it
[22:31] <k1l> !info build-essentials
[22:31] <trism> jerkface03: no s at the end
[22:31] <jerkface03> trism: Thanks.
[22:31] <k1l> yep. one s too much
[22:31] <jerkface03> working now.
[22:31] <SchrodingersScat> an s too far
[22:31] <dstar69> where can i find skype for ubuntu from the software centre
[22:32] <demophobia> Schrodinger`Cat, thanks for your input ... Incidentally, why are CD-Rs one-use only? (unlike CD-RWs) ... another question I should search online? ...
[22:32] <MonkeyDust> dstar69  enable the 3rd party repo, or is it partner repo
[22:32] <k1l> demophobia: that goes too much into offtopic now. please ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:32] <SchrodingersScat> !info skype | dstar69
[22:32] <SchrodingersScat> huh, weird
[22:33] <k1l> Schrodinger`Cat: partner repo
[22:33] <dstar69> ubottu /monkeydust - running 12.04 precise, can't find it nevertheless
[22:33] <bprompt> dstar69:     hmmm I'm running 12.04 64bit as well, just ran an apt-cache search, it shows up there
[22:33] <dstar69> how can i check i have 3rd party enabled
[22:34] <dstar69> running 32 bit
[22:34] <k1l> dstar69: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Canonical_Partner_Repositories
[22:35] <SchrodingersScat> demophobia: just their nature.  Now I would recommend having a flashdrive to work with images like that.  Then you can update on the same memory and maybe even have multiple boot options.
[22:36] <jhutchins> SchrodingersScat: You have to get skype from Microsoft now.
[22:36] <demophobia> Schrodinger`Cat, i have done that with this ubuntu 12.04; i put it on a flash drive which i had to format for it -- which brings me to the question: How do I reformat the 16 Gb flash drive for storage purposes?
[22:37] <jhutchins> !skype
[22:37] <Schrodinger`Cat> demophobia, ?
[22:37] <Schrodinger`Cat> SchrodingersScat, meow !
[22:37] <dstar69> ubottu perfect. will read that.
[22:37] <SchrodingersScat> Schrodinger`Cat: tab confusion.
[22:37] <uTired2> haha
[22:38] <Schrodinger`Cat> SchrodingersScat, too many undefined states here !
[22:38] <jhutchins> demophobia: What kind of storage?  Does it need to be readable by other systems (Windows)?
[22:38] <SchrodingersScat> Schrodinger`Cat: I don't know if I'm here or not.
[22:39] <demophobia> jhutchins, yes
[22:42] <SchrodingersScat> demophobia: there are many options, gparted and gnome-disks are two, in windows there should be some kind of disk utility program for that, disk administration or something.
[22:42] <Nothing_Much> I'm wondering if system76 will offer any AMD CPUs/GPUs at any time?
[22:42] <SchrodingersScat> Nothing_Much: should request it, demand and supply.
[22:43] <Nothing_Much> SchrodingersScat: Where do I request it? On the Ubuntu forums?
[22:44] <k1l> Nothing_Much: just ask them. we in here cant help on that
[22:44] <Nothing_Much> k1l: where though?
[22:44] <SchrodingersScat> Nothing_Much: https://www.system76.com/contact/ you could even send them a fax.
[22:44] <zatan> hey is anyone seeing calendar on the input ? http://jsfiddle.net/Ezrv9/3/
[22:44] <Nothing_Much> Oh okay thanks

[22:50] <loki_> Hi guys.  I am trying to setup ssmtp to send nagios alerts to my gmail, but I am hitting a snag.  I am getting an error that it cannot connect to the mail hub.  is anyone around to help out?
[22:51] <demophobia> thank you
[22:51] <thor_of_asgard> I CANNOT HELP YOU BROTHER
[22:52] <loki_> hahah
[22:52] <thor_of_asgard> srsly tho, not my area. Sorry m8
[22:52] <loki_> well I got it working
[22:52] <jhutchins> loki_: Are you trying to connect to a remote system or just on the same machine.
[22:52] <jhutchins> loki_: Ok, good.
[22:52] <loki_> jhutchins: It ended up sending.  I had to send it as super user
[22:52] <k1l> !guidelines > thor_of_asgard please stick to the guidelines in here
[22:53] <bonhoeffer> crap -- on my linode (shared virtual host) i have 10.04 -- how hard is it to upgrade to 12.05 or some good LTS version
[22:53] <bonhoeffer> i'll even go to 13 -- but do i have to rebuild the server?
[22:54] <TJ-> bonhoeffer: You can upgrade between LTS versions
[22:54] <gordonjcp> bonhoeffer: LTS-to-LTS is usually safe
[22:54] <gordonjcp> bonhoeffer: make a backup, maybe
[22:54] <bonhoeffer> ok --
[22:54] <bonhoeffer> Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS is my exact version
[22:55] <bonhoeffer> the way to go: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
[22:55] <bonhoeffer> ?
[22:55] <TJ-> bonhoeffer: If you're enough storage space free, create a volume of equal size and then boot the Finnix recovery with both the current OS and the new volume mounted, and do a 'dd' clone, that way you have a local back-up.
[22:56] <bonhoeffer> ha -- not so easy on a virtual server
[22:56] <TJ-> bonhoeffer: Easy, I do it that way on my Linodes
[22:56] <bonhoeffer> hmm . . i need to do some research
[22:57] <TJ-> bonhoeffer: there's a lot of Linode help on the OFTC network's #linode channel
[22:58] <bonhoeffer> yeah -- i should hop over there
[23:03] <james-ubc> does anybody know why cmake would fail over ssh but not on the machine itself?

[23:06] <curiousx> aloha all, anyone knows some equalizer preset for mplayer?
[23:07] <curiousx> join #mplayer?
[23:08] <loki_> jhutchins: know of any way I can have nagios send a test alert? I just want to make sure it is working.
[23:08] <mib_mib> hi all - how can i make grep do a match 'once per line', for instance grep -E 'first|second|third' somefile.txt
[23:09] <elico1_> hello I have a user at the forums but it is very old and I want to use my account again.
[23:09] <Jordan_U> elico1_: Try #ubuntuforums.
[23:09] <elico1_> thanks!
[23:10] <demophobia> How do I use the hotkey searching feature mentioned in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_9.04#Ubuntu_12.04_LTS_.28Precise_Pangolin.29 ?
[23:11] <k1l> demophobia: press the windows button?
[23:11] <demophobia> Oh, is that the heads-up display they mention? Thank you.
[23:12] <k1l> no, that is alt-key
[23:12] <demophobia> oh, i had to hold the alt key for a moment. thanks.
[23:15] <loki_> is anyone around that can help me out with nagios alerts?  I setup ssmtp and am able to send from it from the command line and I just tried to simulate an alert condition in nagios, but I received no email.
[23:16] <loki_> I believe the issue may be related to ssmtp and not necessarily nagios, but I am not certain.
[23:17] <hoodedice> Hello. I'm currently installing Xubuntu. I have 4 GB of RAM. Is a swap partition worth it with this amount of RAM?
[23:18] <jhutchins> hoodedice: Yes, it's still a good idea in case of a runaway process or something, or maybe an extra-large video file.
[23:18] <Beldar> hoodedice, If you want to hibernate yes, otherwise it's your call.
[23:18] <jhutchins> hoodedice: You also need swap if you're going to do suspend-to-disk.
[23:18] <loki_> never mind.  it is working.  just took a LLOONNNGG time to send.
[23:18] <hoodedice> Ok. Thanks a lot. I'll get a 2 GB swap just in case.
[23:18] <thor_of_asgard> anyone into manjero in here?
[23:18] <jhutchins> hoodedice: Doesn't need to be more than 4G though, and 2G is probably enough.
[23:18] <loki_> thor_of_asgard: sorry brother, not this day.
[23:18] <hoodedice> Thanks again.
[23:19] <hitsujiTMO> !ot | thor_of_asgard
[23:20] <thor_of_asgard> Thanks ubottu bot. Idk what i would do without you.
[23:20] <loki_> LOL
[23:20] <syg> i am having trouble logging into ubuntu anything but the console, when i startx the login always fails 13.10, i don't know what information to provide that would be useful, so please ask
[23:20] <loki_> jhutchins: in regards to ssmtp, I do have a quick question
[23:20] <thor_of_asgard> anyone have chrome issues after 13.x upgrade?
[23:20] <jhutchins> loki_: Look at the mail logs, see if it tried to send.
[23:20] <thor_of_asgard> I had to roll back to beta
[23:20] <loki_> jhutchins: it's working.  it took forever to send is all.
[23:20] <Beldar> thor_of_asgard, There is a #manjaro channel
[23:21] <jhutchins> loki_: Logs are good.
[23:21] <thor_of_asgard> ty beldar. i will have to check that out
[23:21] <hitsujiTMO> syg: do you get the lightdm screen?
[23:21] <loki_> jhutchins: yep.  that was what I did right after I wrote that question.  did a tail of the log and it said it sent.
[23:21] <loki_> jhutchins: but I am curious about something in relation to ssmtp.  specifically I think this is going to be easy, but I would like it to show the from name as something other than the email address it came from.  is there a way to do this in ssmtp?
[23:22] <syg> hitsuji, the gui login? yes, but it always fails there
[23:22] <jhutchins> loki_: I'm not sure about ssmtp, but the mailx program allows you to specify the sender, and iirc Nagios has a configuration option for who the mail appears from.
[23:22] <hitsujiTMO> syg: can you log into the guest account? or is it all accounts?
[23:22] <loki_> jhutchins: thanks.  I am doing some more digging now.
[23:23] <syg> just tried guest, it works, interesting
[23:23] <jhutchins> syg: Why are you using startx instead of a dm?
[23:23] <syg> old tutorial maybe?
[23:23] <syg> start lightdm?
[23:23] <hitsujiTMO> syg: have you at some stage run startx with sudo?
[23:23] <syg> i don't know the command
[23:23] <jhutchins> syg: THis often happens if you run GUI programs as root.  Check ownership on the files under $HOME
[23:24] <jhutchins> syg: chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[23:24] <hitsujiTMO> syg: log into your account in the cli and run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[23:24] <jamesleimer> hello
[23:25] <k1l> syg: dont use startx, use lightdm (or any other dm). see .xsession-errors in your home for error messages
[23:26] <syg> what's the command k1l?
[23:26] <k1l> sudo lightdm start
[23:28] <syg> the chown is taking forever with no foreseeable progress
[23:29] <jhutchins> syg: What kind of stuff do you have in your home directory?
[23:29] <jhutchins> syg: I wonder if there's a corrupt file or something.
[23:29] <ejuan> hey, I'm having problems getting my AMD R7 260X video card to work correctly, I have the FGLRX experimental drivers installed from the additional drivers menu but it says "this driver is activated but not currently in use". i get the same thing when the post-release driver is installed as well. running aticonfig from the term outputs "aticonfig: No supported adapters detected". what do?
[23:30] <syg> jhutchins, besides the typical stuff like documents and downloads, i do web development, and not everything in there is chowned to me
[23:30] <syg> some is chowned to root, or WAS
[23:30] <syg> command finished
[23:31] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: whats the output of: cat /etc/issue

[23:31] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, "Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l"

[23:35] <syg> success, it logged in
[23:35] <onlty> My AMD/ATI card doesn't have the capability 'vga_controller'.
[23:35] <pvl1> onlty: did u install drivers
[23:35] <pvl1> modules
[23:36] <onlty> pvl1, i am using radeon open-source driver, but if i install fglrx, direct rendering wont work
[23:36] <loki_> jhutchins: got it changed, now just need to get it to display something other than what it is displaying :D.  still working on it.
[23:36] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: which experimental did you install? 13?
[23:36] <onlty> my system did claim that card but it is not using that
[23:36] <pvl1> onlty: did u run aticonfig --initial
[23:36] <onlty> pvl1, it says no supported adapters detected.
[23:37] <onlty> but i have the radeon mark on my notebook
[23:37] <onlty> pvl1, and it is displayed as "DIsplay controller" not "VGA compatible controller"
[23:37] <skinux> I installed indicator from that website, but I'm still not seeing how to access menu.

[23:38] <pvl1> onlty: what settings did u select in bios for graphics
[23:38] <glitsj16> skinux: did you relogin after installing it?
[23:38] <ahmi> hey i'm trying to install ubuntu on virtualbox but i ran into a problem. it said i had an issue about 64 bit....blahzay blahzay. does anyone know what to do to fix this?
[23:38] <onlty> pvl1, no such settings like that, my bios is "American Megatrands P13RAN with Aptio Settings Utility"
[23:39] <MonkeyDust> ahmi  use 32bit to be sure
[23:39] <onlty> Very annoying that my BIOS settings utility has very few options like
[23:39] <onlty> Secure boot
[23:39] <pvl1> onlty: the thing is that linux clearly sees the radeon card
[23:39] <ahmi> you mean the initial download from ubuntu.com
[23:39] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, I'm not sure, it doesn't say on the additional drivers page, catalyst control center shows driver package version 12.104-130328a-157784C-ATI
[23:39] <MonkeyDust> ahmi  yes, the 32bit iso
[23:39] <ahmi> ok. thank you man. i hope this works.
[23:39] <onlty> pvl1, it does see the radeon card, and it is listed in xrandr --listproviders, but it does not use it
[23:40] <pvl1> ah
[23:40] <onlty> If I force it to use the card via creating an xorg.conf file, it fails back to fallback.
[23:40] <pvl1> can you please pastebin /var/log/Xorg.log
[23:40] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: looks like you installed 12 which isn't compatible with that card. you need 13
[23:40] <pvl1> and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:40] <onlty> pvl1, I dont have xorg.conf because xorg -configure wont work
[23:40] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: to be sure: dpkg --get-selections | grep fglrx
[23:40] <ejuan> I had the post-release driver installed first I'm wondering if it never fully removed before the experimental got installed.
[23:40] <pvl1> onlty: why wont it work
[23:41] <onlty> pvl1, i forced my card to be load by 'radeon' module or anything which lead me to fallback.
[23:41] <glitsj16> gatchi: anything specific on the 'click' package?
[23:41] <onlty> i even tried modesetting.
[23:41] <loki_> jhutchins: got it sorted :D
[23:41] <pvl1> onlty: so you lsmod radeon already
[23:42] <ahmi> oh um...monkey dust if you're still there....should i get the latest version of ubuntu or the last one?
[23:42] <onlty> pvl1, I have radeon module and heres the pastebin :

[23:43] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823371/
[23:43] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: ok you have 13 installed. thats good. lets look at the logs. pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:43] <Roland-> hello, the server version is the same as desktop, with graphs and stuff?
[23:44] <pvl1> Roland-: no
[23:44] <gatchi> glitsj16: well, anything would help, but specifically, im trying to figure out why its not marked "installable"
[23:44] <pvl1> !server | Roland-
[23:44] <onlty> pvl1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823369/
[23:44] <Roland-> thanks
[23:44] <pvl1> already reading it onlty
[23:44] <onlty> ok
[23:44] <k1l> Roland-: its some sort of minimal install. but shares the whole packages, yes. the server install git some predefined server setups, too
[23:45] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823376/
[23:45] <glitsj16> gatchi: i never used it personally, but i know it is available since saucy (13.10) .. trouble installing it?
[23:45] <k1l> btw, there is no server kernel anymore
[23:47] <Roland-> I was hoping for an minimal install
[23:47] <gatchi> glitsj16: yeah. added the repos for it, but cant find it.  and a dev package im trying to install requires it
[23:47] <Roland-> is that even posible?
[23:47] <k1l> Roland-: yes
[23:47] <gatchi> glitsj16: although.... i just recently updated my ubuntu install.  maybe i should try again.
[23:47] <glitsj16> gatchi: what version of ubuntu are trying to install it on?
[23:47] <Roland-> k1l any docs on it please?
[23:48] <gatchi> glitsj16: latest LTS, which i think is 12.04
[23:48] <Roland-> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD gess?
[23:48] <k1l> Roland-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[23:48] <k1l> xes
[23:48] <k1l> yes
[23:49] <glitsj16> gatchi: it's only in the 13.10 repos .. you mentioned adding the repos .. from a PPA?
[23:49] <Roland-> I see that but the server version seem to be missing
[23:49] <gatchi> glitsj16: yeah. you can still do upgrades from software manager, right? or do i need to redownload for that much of a jump?
[23:49] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: the driver does seem to be working.
[23:50] <gatchi> glitsj16: i dont think the repo was assuming id have 12.04
[23:50] <gatchi> glitsj16: er i mean, the walkthru
[23:50] <onlty> pvl1, did you finish reading it?
[23:51] <pvl1> onlty: yeah im looking into it
[23:51] <glitsj16> gatchi: check on the launchpad page for the PPA if they offer it for 12.04 .. but apparently as you're not seeing it they wont
[23:51] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils && glxheads | pastebinit
[23:52] <pvl1> onlty: what kernel are you on and when did u install the opensource module
[23:52] <onlty> pvl1, I have linux-3.11.0-15-generic
[23:52] <onlty> and the default opensource module
[23:52] <glitsj16> gatchi: you can jump easier in one go to the next LTS in April, to get at 13.10 from 12.04 i'd go for a re-install
[23:53] <gatchi> glitsj16: alright.  thanks for the info & advice
[23:53] <onlty> also i have some weird, graphics artifacts (sometimes) that has horizontal short lines all over the screen and just disappears
[23:53] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, a window popped up with a rendering of a triangle
[23:53] <ejuan> seems to be rendering ok..
[23:53] <pvl1> onlty: how did u install the module btw
[23:53] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: close the window
[23:54] <onlty> pvl1, the radeon module and open source drivers were installed on ubuntu install
[23:54] <glitsj16> gatchi: perhaps you try to build it from source --> https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/click
[23:54] <onlty> I had a fresh install a long ago
[23:54] <pvl1> radeon is open source, did u also install fglrx onlty
[23:54] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823426/
[23:54] <onlty> pvl1, of course i did but it does not work at all
[23:55] <pvl1> onlty: remove the amd one, and reinstall xorg-video-radeon
[23:55] <pvl1> or w.e the package is
[23:55] <onlty> pvl1, amd one is currently not installed
[23:55] <gatchi> glitsj16: definitely will at least bookmark it.  thanks.
[23:55] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: it does report that its rendering with the fglrx
[23:56] <pvl1> onlty: as long as you removed it. u said manually loading the radeon module causes you to drop to failsafe?
[23:56] <onlty> installing amd catalyst driver ***.run says that the graphics adapter is not supported blah blah blah.
[23:56] <onlty> pvl1, manually setting radeon card as LVDS1 (my first monitor) in xorg.conf
[23:57] <onlty> pvl1, if i install the fglrx module, direct render just turns off
[23:57] <demophobia> Is there a keyboard shortcut to suspend ubuntu 12.04, rather than clicking the icon in top right corner?
[23:58] <onlty> demophobia, you can also manually set it in the preferences.
[23:58] <demophobia> as described at http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/10/17/howto-suspend-ubuntu-from-terminal-or-keyboard-shortcuts/ , onlty ?
[23:58] <onlty> Dash is very useful
[23:58] <pvl1> onlty: when u set xorg.conf, do you also set Driver      "radeon"
[23:58] <onlty> pvl1, i also tried Driver "fglrx"
[23:58] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO,  thanks for looking at it. my main problem is that i can't get cgminer to find the video card. when i try to build cgminer i get   OpenCL...............: Detection overrided. GPU mining support DISABLED
[23:59] <pvl1> well right now, lets deal with radeon
[23:59] <onlty> It seems like I have two cards : intel(i915) and amd(radeon)
[23:59] <ejuan> well thats when i do ./configure not build
[23:59] <pvl1> you do
[23:59] <ejuan> so i thought it was an issue with the video card drivers
[23:59] <pvl1> onlty: mobility graphics give u "control" of discrete graphics or full graphics. is their way of saving power
[23:59] <ejuan> because aticonfig couldn't find a supported card.
