| noideas | hitsujiTMO: So having the router act as a DHCP is not working | 01:14 |
| hd | why does this gives result 1? It should be 2. echo "zz" | grep -c "z" | 01:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | noideas: its having 2 default gateways could be the problem, as well as having 2 nics on the same lan segment | 01:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | noideas: try statically assigning eth1 with no gateway and see if the issue persists. it could also be cause by requests to eth1 being answered by eth0 as its on the same network as was originally assigned as the gateway interface | 01:16 |

| dominiquenf | good evening everyone | 02:15 |
| silvea12 | night dominiquenf | 02:15 |
| dominiquenf | can anyone help me with a scprit? I'm trying to fix some issues on my touchpad and I want to run the script while the computer starts, but somehow it's not working properly | 02:16 |
| dominiquenf | it didn't change the values on my synclient after starting | 02:16 |
| MK` | silvea12: nvm I managed to fix it. Somehow initrc.d vanished, but I was able to copy the distribution version back to /usr/sbin | 02:17 |
| silvea12 | ok then. Good job! | 02:17 |
| silvea12 | oh wait, it was evening, not night. :P | 02:17 |
| MK` | first time I've used sudo cp in my life I think. | 02:17 |
| silvea12 | heh | 02:17 |
| silvea12 | I use sudo all the time. I try not to, but I can't avoid it. The amount I mess with my system is nuts... (I don't use it for things that aren't needed though) | 02:18 |
| MK` | I'm pretty sure it was from a few months ago when I mistyped a command to fix something else | 02:18 |
| silvea12 | sudo cp, mv, chmod, chown, dd, other stuff | 02:18 |
| silvea12 | heh... That'll do it! | 02:19 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have encrypted my ubuntu. Does anybody know how can I remove it? | 02:26 |
| somsip | mojtaba: did you encrypt the whole disk or just the user home? | 02:27 |
| mojtaba | somsip: The whole disk | 02:28 |
| somsip | mojtaba: not good news then http://askubuntu.com/questions/245112/can-i-disable-full-disk-encryption | 02:28 |
| mojtaba | somsip: The problem is that, my hard drive has some bad sectors and I want to replace it. and before that I want to make a disk backup with clone zilla. I am not sure if I can backup an encrypted disk and then restore it on the new one. | 02:29 |
| === tmro is now known as kerosene | ||
| somsip | mojtaba: I know nothing about encryption except that there are plenty of people who come here with problems because of using it | 02:30 |

| tiblock | Is that possible to do dist-upgrade and not killing system and do reinstall. It died on notebook while upgrade from 10 to 12. Then died with 13.04 to 13.10.

| tiblock | <dominiquenf> I think you need specify what script and where you start it? | 02:32 |
| dominiquenf | i've saved it to /etc/init.d, i've chmod 755 it and i've updated-rc.d | 02:34 |

| dominiquenf | am i missing something? | 02:34 |
| dominiquenf | i've also tried chmod +x | 02:34 |
| dominiquenf | the script runs ok, but it doesn't run when i start the OS | 02:35 |
| somsip | dominiquenf: put the script on paste.ubuntu.com | 02:37 |
| OerHeks | dominiquenf, change owner to root > sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/<scriptname> | 02:38 |
| OerHeks | dominiquenf, then set your script to load wint init.d > sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults && sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> enable | 02:39 |

| === patrick is now known as Guest61578 | ||
| silvea12 | Why would you want to set it to port 80? | 02:40 |
| silvea12 | just wondering | 02:40 |
| daftykins | yeah that's kinda... weird. | 02:40 |
| Guest61578 | So, on my plugins for Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04, I see that I have Shockwave 12 something. What is the difference between Shockwave and Adobe Flashplayer? | 02:41 |
| somsip | dominiquenf: I was wondering if you had an ENV or bad path in there, but as long as synclient is in the path for root that should be ok | 02:41 |
| silvea12 | I believe they are made by different companies, and do different things | 02:41 |
| silvea12 | I think it was that anyway | 02:41 |
| silvea12 | That may have not been much help... | 02:42 |
| fun | will both http and ssh work if they run on same port? | 02:42 |
| Guest61578 | It has the same logo as Adobe Flash Player. | 02:42 |
| silvea12 | nope | 02:42 |
| fun | ok | 02:42 |

| silvea12 | Osmodivs: not sure if you can, but what do you want to do exactly? You can do all the operations just from terminal | 02:44 |
| tiblock | Osmodivs, i think you need google API for your DE. What DE you use? | 02:45 |
| fun | but how do I restart ssh when I loged via putty? | 02:45 |
| fun | :D | 02:45 |
| Osmodivs | silvea12, for some reason I can't do stuff as an administrator, like, connecto to a WiFi, or instal programs feom a GUI (Synaptic or the LSC) I remember I had the adm box checked, but I want to check, but can't acces via GUI | 02:45 |

| tiblock | Osmodivs, desktop enviroment. Unity/KDE? | 02:46 |
| silvea12 | Are you able to access an account that can run sudo? | 02:46 |

| Osmodivs | oh. | 02:49 |
| tiblock | Osmodivs, google says Lubuntu (LXDE) doesnt have GUI for that. Google "lxde users and groups" and chose your solution. | 02:49 |

| Osmodivs | tiblock, Well, I already have gnome-system-tools. I just want to open it via Terminal, to see if I can fix some groups in my accpont | 02:51 |
| AlecTaylor | My computer is crashing with no warning (from logged-in and working to power off in ~1 second). How do I troubleshoot? | 02:51 |
| fun | I am using ec2 silvea12 | 02:52 |
| fun | whole idea was to change default ssh port as they filter upload speeds on it | 02:52 |
| kcah | hello every one~ | 02:52 |
| silvea12 | yeah... well now ya borked it... :P | 02:52 |
| somsip | fun: then you have to recreate the instance from the snapshot you created, or from the AMI if you have no snapshot | 02:52 |
| Osmodivs | It is: sudo users-admin | 02:52 |
| silvea12 | Useful thing to try for a failsafe next time: before you do, have a script on a timer in a screen to reset the settings | 02:52 |
| kcah | i have a noob questions here about ssh... can any one help me? | 02:53 |
| silvea12 | if it works, kill the process | 02:53 |
| somsip | !ask | kcah | 02:53 |
| ubottu | kcah: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 02:53 |
| silvea12 | if it doesn't, itll fix it | 02:53 |
| fun | somsip: but why I just changed port | 02:53 |
| silvea12 | but... too late for that now | 02:53 |
| fun | what have I done wrong? | 02:53 |
| somsip | fun: you did it wrong. Or you just haven't poked a hole to the new port in your securty group... | 02:53 |
| fun | somsip: I did 100% what people said there | 02:53 |
| fun | changed port to 222 and open firewall | 02:53 |
| somsip | fun: don't whinge. Fix your security group | 02:54 |
| kcah | i have a jump server on my network... it does not have X server... can i still use the jump server to do a X session on other machines on that network? | 02:54 |
| joshlegs | my problem is similar to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2183110 but also my built-in volume buttons dont work | 02:54 |
| joshlegs | and i cant seem to reinstall from usb (goes right to desktop) | 02:54 |
| fun | somsip: its done | 02:54 |
| glitsj16 | dominiquenf: a question .. being synclient commands, why not run them in an autostart .desktop file? or do you need them in the login screen? | 02:54 |
| fun | so what else can I try? | 02:54 |
| silvea12 | AlecTaylor: Try booting a live CD, chroot into your HDD, and checking dmesg output | 02:54 |
| silvea12 | check for kernal errors | 02:54 |
| somsip | fun: recreate the instance from your backup or from the AMI. | 02:54 |
| silvea12 | and fix it from the live CD | 02:54 |
| fun | somsip: but then I simply do same mistake lol | 02:55 |
| fun | thats why its better I find a way to fix it now | 02:55 |
| Osmodivs | I am in the sudo group and still can't connect to a WiFi: (32) Not authorized to control networking. | 02:55 |
| somsip | fun: I can't help you any more. | 02:55 |
| dominiquenf | glitsj16, how i do that? | 02:55 |
| Beldar | joshlegs, Similar to is not a good start here, you want to be exact, and explain the usb reinstall in details. | 02:55 |
| fun | somsip: ok ty | 02:55 |
| glitsj16 | dominiquenf: which option exactly? | 02:56 |
| dominiquenf | glitsj16, how do i do that? | 02:56 |
| silvea12 | Osmodivs: try adding yourself to the netdev group | 02:56 |
| dominiquenf | the one you said about autostart.desktop | 02:56 |
| joshlegs | Beldar: none of my default hotkeys work (vlume up, down) and my custom shortcuts dont either (ctrl-alt-t for terminal, meta-up for maximize) | 02:56 |
| dominiquenf | glitsj16, the one you said about autostart.desktop | 02:56 |
| endofcake | Hey, how do I open ports on Ubuntu? | 02:56 |
| fun | endofcake: use aws | 02:56 |
| fun | they got nice firewall there | 02:57 |
| Osmodivs | silvea12, I am aalready in the netdev group | 02:57 |
| silvea12 | oh right | 02:57 |
| fun | endofcake: by default all ports are open | 02:57 |
| Osmodivs | silvea12, I tell you, must be a Linux virus | 02:57 |
| glitsj16 | dominiquenf: okay, you use the "startup applications" app, once you're in there it will show a few fields where you enter name and location of the script | 02:57 |
| fun | u need to edit silly text file by hand | 02:57 |
| fun | or use aws | 02:57 |
| silvea12 | Osmodivs: I don't know about that... | 02:57 |
| Beldar | joshlegs, Cool, to the channel I can't really help, I was just concerned you are not lost in here. State the usb relation top this if there is one. | 02:57 |
| Beldar | to* | 02:57 |
| somsip | fun: if you are going to stay in here and offer advice, please try to be helpful | 02:57 |
| Osmodivs | silvea12, Badware, then. | 02:57 |
| joshlegs | ok thanks Beldar. no the usb isnt related. i think im just having a crapton of problems right now :( | 02:58 |
| silvea12 | Osmodivs: I think it may just be a wierd perms issue | 02:58 |
| endofcake | Thanks fun. I did nmap on my install, and it only shows a handful of open ports, which may be a cause of Couchbase not working properly. | 02:58 |
| Ziber | So, my computer forgot how to interact with my mouse. I can move it just fine, but can't click on anything. Any thoughts on why? | 02:58 |

| fun | ;) | 02:58 |
| silvea12 | Is this in a log, or when you run it? | 02:58 |
| silvea12 | and what do you run? | 02:58 |
| Beldar | joshlegs, Cool just be careful to approach one at a time within reason is all. ;) | 02:58 |
| fun | endofcake: all rules as to which ports open or closed are in 1 file | 02:58 |
| fun | iptables | 02:58 |
| somsip | !joke | SunTsu | 02:58 |
| ubottu | SunTsu: You might think your joke is funny, but you may confuse new users who follow your advice or irritate people who attempt to answer your question. | 02:58 |
| Ziber | In Chrome and terminal, so far. I can click to switch back and forth between these apps, but nothing within them. | 02:58 |
| fun | somsip: thats u | 02:58 |
| fun | gave me advice that does not work | 02:58 |
| fun | ;) | 02:58 |

| fun | here | 03:00 |
| fun | see if it makes sense | 03:00 |
| somsip | fun: confirm to me again that you have allowed access to the new port in the security group that is associated with the instance you've just changed | 03:00 |
| fun | yes I did | 03:00 |
| fun | well ok I create new instance and see whats in sshd config | 03:00 |
| fun | I tried reboot same | 03:01 |
| endofcake | Ok, I don't exactly need I firewall, I just need to make sure that certain ports are open. Is there a way to check this? | 03:01 |
| somsip | fun: if you edit sshd_config correctly and have allowed access through the security group, there is no reason why it should not work. I do this on my AWS instances. So you have to accept the possibility of your error. | 03:01 |
| somsip | endofcake: for what service? | 03:01 |
| endofcake | I'm guessing nmap doesn't show me the whole story. i just want to eliminate ports as the source of my problem and move on | 03:02 |
| fun | :P | 03:02 |
| carrera | Greetings! :) | 03:02 |
| fun | lol somsip u are some geek | 03:02 |

| fun | main thing it works lol | 03:02 |
| somsip | !ignore | fun | 03:02 |
| ubottu | fun: If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname | 03:02 |
| endofcake | For Couchbase. It needs ports 11211, 11210, 11209, 4369,8091, 8092 and from 21100 to 21299 | 03:02 |
| carrera | can anyone tell me as of which version did Ubuntu changed the init process and WHY? | 03:03 |
| glitsj16 | dominiquenf: if you want the synclient commands to be active in the login screen there's a way to do that too, isn't much work but i don't know if you want/need it there as well | 03:03 |
| somsip | endofcake: and what it preventing these from being accessed? | 03:03 |
| endofcake | I'm not sure anything is, I'm just trying to add another server to my cluster and it fails. So I need to eliminate networking issues as the source of this problem | 03:04 |
| rcw2 | what do the three numbers at the end of this linerepresent in xinput --set-prop [device number] "Synaptics Finger" 50 80 257 | 03:04 |
| Beldar | carrera, Are you aware this is support, and not actually tied to canonical and it's decisions on ubuntu? | 03:05 |
| fun | endofcake: simply edit text tile and add new ports | 03:05 |
| fun | type sudo iptables -L | 03:05 |
| fun | and see rules | 03:05 |
| somsip | endofcake: output of netstat -lnptu show anything helpful? | 03:06 |
| fun | u can set rules to default means all ports open by sudo iptables -F | 03:06 |

| pietro10 | Hi. I have a late 2006 intel iMac; I have tried, and I am trying to at least get the LiveUSB to work. I got as far as setting up an installed system and attempting to boot it with rEFIt, but the EFI firmware threw a fit and wouldn't boot in legacy mode. I tried EFI boot ,but rEFInd wouldn't start. Now: is there a way I can boot the LiveCD image over the network with an ethernet cable? I have no way to burn discs at the present time. Thanks. | 03:06 |
| somsip | !upstart | carrera (may have some leads for you to follow up) | 03:06 |

| zcat[1] | using ubuntu studio. Every time I boot all the sounds devices come up in order. Only solution I've found so fat that works is just keep rebooting and rebooting until I fluke them the right way around for how all the software is set up. Or reconfigure everything for the new random order every time I reboot. | 03:35 |
| zcat[1] | *far | 03:35 |
| zcat[1] | I did try to follow a howto about udev, but it doesn't seem to be that. I also found a howto for alsa. It seems that ubuntu allows for devices to be randomly reassinged at every possible layer of abstraction. | 03:37 |
| zcat[1] | I'm fast coming to the conclusion that someone in the development chain is just doing this to fuck with everyone | 03:37 |
| somsip | !language | zcat[1] | 03:37 |
| ubottu | zcat[1]: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:37 |
| zcat[1] | I'm frustrated. | 03:38 |
| === JoshuaP-afk is now known as JoshuaP | ||
| zcat[1] | I've been using linux since 1997, and this is about as close as I've ever got to just giving up and switching to Windows | 03:38 |
| zcat[1] | and nobody seems the least bit ineterestif in helping | 03:38 |
| Noskcaj | !patience | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 03:39 |
| zcat[1] | yeah, nobody knows | 03:39 |
| Noskcaj | perhaps try asking on askubuntu or #ubuntustudio | 03:39 |
| zcat[1] | no answers ther etieher | 03:40 |
| Noskcaj | remember this is the time most people are asleep, so maybe try again later? | 03:41 |
| === JoshuaP is now known as JoshuaP-afk | ||
| Beldar | zcat[1], I think we all understand frustration, but this is a no swearing channel please. | 03:41 |
| zcat[1] | it doesn't really matter when I ask, I've been trying to figure this out for months now | 03:41 |
| zcat[1] | I've mssed ub ubuntu studio and just reinstalled three times so far | 03:41 |
| zcat[1] | next time I just give up and switch to windows | 03:42 |
| zcat[1] | and I will write a very long blog about how utterly Linux is failing | 03:42 |
| zcat[1] | from the perspective of someone who's used linux their entire life and finally been driven to use Windows | 03:42 |
| zcat[1] | I really don't want to do that | 03:43 |
| whoever | trying to set a keyboard shortcut , under keyboard , and the command is /usr/bin/top . and when i hit the shortcutkey i set top is not executing , but top will execute if i type it in term | 03:43 |
| daftykins | zcat[1]: surely there's SOMEONE out there that uses it for the same things as you do | 03:43 |
| zcat[1] | apparently nobody else in the entire world uses ubuntu studio with more than one sound device | 03:43 |
| zcat[1] | or they all just reconfigure it every time the reboot? who knows ... | 03:43 |
| daftykins | i take it studio comes without pulseaudio? | 03:44 |
| zcat[1] | It uses everything layer after layer and every layer seems to like randomly assigning the order of devices | 03:44 |
| zcat[1] | udev does, alsa does, pulse does, and then jack sits on top and has no idea what is what | 03:44 |
| zcat[1] | it's a complete mess | 03:45 |
| Minnen | [question] how can i change my wireless protocol from IEEE 802.11 b/g/n to IEEE 802.11 b/g using the terminal? | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | zcat[1]: You can probably assign a device name with a udev rule. | 03:46 |
| zcat[1] | Jordan_U, did that | 03:46 |
| idaniel | http://askubuntu.com/questions/372584/i-cant-get-online-video-to-work-correctly-see-screen-caps#comment476238_372584 *This is exactly my problem on another desktop that I can't hook up right now. I just want to find the answer to this question, being it's exactly my problem. | 03:46 |
| daftykins | zcat[1]: well, i don't understand enough to help sadly. but i'd imagine an askubuntu.com post or a forum thread describing your situation would be better than being here complaining (with my respect) | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | zcat[1]: So what is your current problem? | 03:46 |
| glitsj16 | whoever: you'll need to give a command to the shortcut that will open a terminal window and executes the top command | 03:46 |
| daftykins | idaniel: yeah you asked that before, you've not pasted the requested info yet though | 03:47 |
| zcat[1] | Jordan_U, every time I boot ubuntu studio all the sound devices are in a different random order from last time so nothing ever works | 03:47 |
| idaniel | daftykins, I can't get to that desktop right now. Maybe I should wait until I get it all hooked up. I guess it's not fair if you don't know it's inards. I'll get back to you guys maybe tomorrow when I can get it up and running. Sorry. | 03:48 |
| daftykins | idaniel: it does make problem solving somewhat tougher ;) | 03:48 |
| idaniel | k I'll get to you later when I can hook the thing up. thanks anyway. | 03:49 |
| zcat[1] | and it seems to be a layer above udev ... I think I managed to get it to assign them stattically at that later | 03:49 |
| zcat[1] | I also found a howto for making alsa assign devices in a particular order which also didn't make any difference\ | 03:49 |
| zcat[1] | and now it's just really making me angry | 03:49 |
| zcat[1] | every time I start up I just keep rebooting until the devices all come up how jack wants to work with them but this is just stupid! | 03:51 |
| zcat[1] | and it's so damn slow to boot too | 03:51 |
| zcat[1] | at the moment I don't have a 'pulseaudio sink' so I can't play stuff in the browser and record from it or mix it at all | 03:52 |
| greeter | zcat[1] i've found that audacity can do that if you set the input channel properly, and i don't have pulseaudio installed | 03:53 |
| zcat[1] | greeter, when it's working properly I can record to ardour, mixer on one track, qsynth (midi keyboard) on another track, music from the web on a third ... | 03:54 |
| zcat[1] | can I do that in audacity .. | 03:54 |
| zcat[1] | ? | 03:54 |
| greeter | hmm that i've never tried to tell you the truth :-S | 03:55 |
| zcat[1] | Well it works fine here, I just have to reboot eight times unti all the sound devices fluke the right order | 03:55 |
| zcat[1] | and then try not to boot again for as long as possible | 03:56 |
| zcat[1] | when it works it's really good.. I just want it to come up working on every reboot | 03:56 |

| enneract | Is there a way to install a package from a previous release? For example, I need the package libglew1.8 on trusty, but it does not exist yet - can I force apt-get to grab the saucy version~ | 03:59 |
| somsip | enneract: trusty is in beta. Support in #ubuntu+1, but the answer is no | 03:59 |
| nobody08 | <NictraSavios> thanks.. let me try | 04:00 |
| enneract | somsip: it isn't a trusty-specific question, I could as well be asking how to get a quantal package on saucy :D Either way... there really isn't a way to do this? I was able to do it to an entire PPA by editing the .list file, there is no way for a single package? | 04:01 |
| nobody08 | NictraSavios, tried that already... no luck.. | 04:01 |
| diuneigh | can anyone help me with Xchat for ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| somsip | enneract: if you were using a non-beta release, it might have all of the missing files you need. PPAs are different from official packages, and end answer is still "no" AFAIK | 04:02 |
| enneract | sadly, the non-beta release doesn't work with my hardware. | 04:03 |

| ubottu | Roland-: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 04:37 |
| darin | I'm trying to configure the wireless from a working kernal and am wanting to load the wifi drivers **somehow** to a newly installed Kubuntu on a different partition | 04:37 |
| nobody08 | glistsj16: Thank you so much... it works. | 04:38 |
| glitsj16 | nobody08: you're welcome :) | 04:38 |
| Roland- | The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart | 04:39 |
| Roland- | job, but disable is not supported for Upstart jobs. | 04:39 |
| Roland- | I cannot disable services as I can see | 04:40 |
| Roland- | damn | 04:41 |
| diuneigh | can anyone help me set up xchat to open port 6060? | 04:41 |
| glitsj16 | Roland-: too disable services from autostarting you need an override file .. sudo sh -c "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/SERVICE.override" (exchange SERVICE with the correct name of what you need) | 04:41 |
| Roland- | sound complicated | 04:43 |
| Roland- | better leave it bloatware full. | 04:43 |
| darin | Ok, I used this process to install drivers on this currently working (with wireless kernal). I'd like to somehow port these to a disk and install the wifi drivers | 04:43 |
| darin | Look here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/Broadcom_bcm43xx | 04:43 |
| glitsj16 | Roland-: it's one command, just use the name of the service you want to stop from starting at boot | 04:43 |
| Roland- | ok | 04:44 |
| darin | hmmm | 04:44 |
| Beldar | !broadcom | darin for the kubuntu | 04:46 |
| ubottu | darin for the kubuntu: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 04:46 |
| Roland- | ok, let's see how it works | 04:46 |
| Beldar | darin, Heh, missed you posted that link. | 04:47 |
| glitsj16 | Roland-: example .. sudo sh -c "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/mysql.override" will stop mysql from starting .. you can use GUI too: gksudo gedit .. make a new file with only the word 'manual' and save it in the correct location (/etc/init/mysql.override to stay with the example) | 04:47 |
| Roland- | yep | 04:48 |
| Roland- | seems to work | 04:48 |
| Roland- | but how can i get a list of services configured to start at boot? | 04:48 |
| glitsj16 | Roland-: nice, if you want to enable the service again later, just remove the override file | 04:49 |
| glitsj16 | Roland-: use "sudo initctl list" | 04:52 |

| phatso | I was looking for an ubuntu 10.04 liveCD and only found a live DVD. Then I found a liveCD for 10.04 SERVER. Does one for a desktop exist? I'm trying to recover a system that has lost the boot and bin directories. | 06:31 |
| phatso | All I see are server CDs here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ | 06:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phatso: Why can't you use a 12.04 image? | 06:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | phatso: 10.04 desktop is end of life and no longer supported so you wont find a cd around | 06:33 |
| phatso | SonikkuAmerica: would the 12.04 CD be compatible with my remaining lucid binaries? | 06:35 |
| phatso | hitsujiTMO: all I need to do is recover the files in /bin and /boot | 06:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phatso: You could see if it would upgrade the whole SYSTEM while you're at it... | 06:36 |
| phatso | I don't want to upgrade the system, I already installed a new system and wanted to run that old disk drive inside virtualbox | 06:36 |
| phatso | but would the serv server CD have the /bin binaries and the correct kernels to repair my crashed system? | 06:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phatso: If you really need a 10.04 CD, <<NOTE: THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!>> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/ | 06:40 |
| rww | lolwat | 06:41 |
| rww | you people, i swear | 06:41 |
| rww | http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/ | 06:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rww: Ah, that's where it is. | 06:42 |
| phatso | SonikkuAmerica: I don;t see any iso images there | 06:42 |

| phatso | Judging by the "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100427.1" in my sources.lst it seems I must have installed from the alternate CD | 06:47 |
| Rosbuntu | can not send or recieve files from my android phone in ubuntu | 06:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phatso: So? Use the live image to fix it | 06:51 |
| phatso | So if I install using that lucid CD, during the install would it find and install the latest kernels or would I have to do that later | 06:51 |
| phatso | I suppose that alternate-install CD has a liveCD option | 06:52 |
| phatso | and I boot that in rescue mode? | 06:52 |
| phatso | ok so I used the mini.iso to boot into a rescue environment, I mounted /target and populated /target/bin with the binaries from /bin | 06:56 |
| phatso | how can I use apt to populate /boot and /boot/grub with a working kernel, any ideas? | 06:56 |
| Ben64 | phatso: this is not the correct location to be seeking help with an outdated version of ubuntu | 06:57 |
| aegisx | Is there a Linux alternative to Microsoft OneNote, by any chance? | 06:58 |
| phatso | Ben64: this could be a valid question for any distro. I guess I need the apt- command that repairs packages. First order of business is to restore bash | 06:58 |
| Kartagis | how do I disable the status notification applet? | 06:59 |
| nobody08 | /msg NickServ identify adaedward | 06:59 |
| Ben64 | phatso: the bottom line is, if you want support here, you have to be using a supported release. 12.04 or 13.10 is suggested, as 13.04 is losing support very soon | 07:00 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | i thought 12.04 LTS was being supported until 2017 | 07:01 |
| phatso | ok...so if I download a mini.iso for 12.04 would I be able to repair the kernels? | 07:01 |
| BlackDalek | This isn't strictly an Ubuntu question - it's a Wine for linux question... but can anyone remind me... how do I launch Steam in Wine from the command line so that it opens in a virtual desktop environment? | 07:01 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | Blackdalek - i use playonlinux for the GUI behind wine | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | Tuck_C_Dough: 12.04 is supported until 2017 | 07:02 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | but you are saying 13.04 is losing support? | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | 13.04 isn't 12.04... | 07:03 |
| rww | 12.04 *Server* is supported until 2017 because it's an LTS | 07:03 |
| rww | 13.04 is not an LTS | 07:03 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | kk | 07:03 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | just making sure | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | 12.04 *everything* is supported until 2017 | 07:03 |
| kop | "13.04 is losing support very soon..." | 07:04 |
| rww | oh, 12.04 not 10.04. i'm smrt | 07:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | like today soon | 07:04 |
| Ben64 | or tomorrow, depending on your time zone | 07:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phatso: No, no, no! The 12.04 mini.iso is NOT a repair disc. | 07:05 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | is it worth it going to 14 yet? like when would be a good date to aim for a stable pre copy of 14? | 07:05 |
| SwedeMike | rww: all 12.04 has support until 2017, not only server. They changed that in 12.04. | 07:05 |
| rww | SwedeMike: Ben64 already said this, yes | 07:05 |
| Ben64 | Tuck_C_Dough: would be a better question for #ubuntu+1 | 07:06 |
| SwedeMike | Tuck_C_Dough: what problem are you trying to solve by going for 14.04 ? | 07:06 |
| kop | Ben64, okay now I'm confused ... <Ben64> phatso: the bottom line is, if you want support here, you have to be using a supported release. 12.04 or 13.10 is suggested, as 13.04 is losing support very soon... | 07:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | So how long is the circle of telephone going to continue? 12.04 == LTS, supported until 2017 | 13.04 != LTS, support ends TODAY | 07:06 |
| kop | of course confusing me doesn't take much | 07:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kop: Also, avocado is made of guacamole :) | 07:07 |
| Thete | why is it that people always question running beta versions of linux distros? Isn't that the whole point? | 07:07 |
| kop | SonikkuAmerica, gnorph ? drool... :-P~ | 07:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lol | 07:09 |
| Thete | Do that many people not understand that alpha/beta == no support? | 07:09 |
| rww | Thete: yes | 07:09 |
| Thete | oh | 07:09 |
| Thete | freenode has changed quite a bit over the years I guess then | 07:09 |
| Tuck_C_Dough | @swedemike no problem to solve. just curious. | 07:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Thete: No mainline support anyway... here we have #ubuntu+1 | 07:10 |
| kop | I still have a 10.04 that I can't upgrade to 12.xx because the 11.xx repos vanished | 07:10 |
| Ben64 | 10.04 upgrades directly to 12.04 | 07:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | kop you can upgrade lts to lts | 07:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kop: In Software Sources, ensure that "Long-term releases only" is selected." | 07:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Iha Shacks... never heard of 'em | 07:11 |
| kop | Ben64, tried that it broke "everything" thank finagle for huge spare volumes and dd | 07:11 |
| phatso | Is there any way to tell if I inadvertently did upgrade to 12? Supposing I pastebinned my sources.lst would that be enough? I see lucid in all the repo urls so it must still be lucid, right? | 07:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kop: "Everything"? Even the "quotes" you used to enclose everything in? | 07:12 |
| Ben64 | phatso: cat /etc/issue | 07:13 |
| kop | SonikkuAmerica, would not boot from any previously viable boot partition | 07:13 |
| phatso | Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l | 07:13 |
| phatso | Not sure why the newline and linefeed characters show up literally | 07:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kop: Did you try upgrading using a Live image? | 07:14 |
| kop | yup | 07:14 |
| kop | <-- not new just dangerous | 07:14 |
| phatso | I had the same problem as kop, luckily I had a 2nd hard drive handy so I installed wheezy on that drive and am now going to run my repaired lucid install in virtualbox. Once I figure out how to repair /bin, /dev and /boot | 07:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kop: Did you backupallyourdataandtheninstallfromscratchandplaceyourdataonthefreshinstall ? | 07:15 |
| phatso | I like how people throw the b word around so casually thinking everyone has a half gig to terrabyte spare capacity to rsynch everythng into | 07:16 |
| Thete | storage is cheap | 07:16 |
| kop | SonikkuAmerica, I suppose I could but this is what is bothering me . It worked fine in VM but on hardware it borks | 07:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kop: Maybe a better question is - did you try a fresh install, period? | 07:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (As in, before?) | 07:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phatso: Probably the only thing worth backing up is the /home folder, any config scripts you have, and probably a list of installed software (and definitely sources.list and sources.list.d) | 07:18 |
| phatso | You're forgetting all the /root data which may have cached ssh keys and what not | 07:19 |
| kop | actually not an option as I have so much config/3rd party crap/software/thirbligs (wtfever) that I really needed 10-11-then 12 and missed my window | 07:19 |
| kop | the box ian | 07:19 |
| kop | the box isn't critical so I'm not too worried | 07:20 |
| kop | just a puzzle | 07:20 |

| Installer | It fixed it | 09:51 |
| Installer | But I still get no boot | 09:51 |
| Installer | Anyone? | 09:56 |
| k1l_ | Installer: more details? | 09:56 |
| Installer | I get no grub menu and no options | 09:57 |
| Installer | Boot is simply saying that no operating system exist | 09:57 |

| pixxel | Hello. I could use some help, tried to google this problem but could not find a solution: I can't move stuff in my GUI(unity) and i can't click on certain buttons. | 09:59 |
| TJ- | Installer: It sounds like a pretty typical mistake where the BIOS/firmware boot order doesn't include the device the OS is installed on. Have you confirmed in BIOS/firmware that the HDD is in the boot device order? | 09:59 |
| Installer | It's in the boot order | 10:00 |
| TJ- | Installer: When it boots with just the HDD connected, are you able to get to the GRUB menu by holding down the Shift key as the BIOS POST sequence ends? | 10:00 |
| Installer | I even tried manually to point the boot there | 10:00 |
| Installer | Trying now | 10:01 |
| Installer | Nope, no go | 10:02 |
| MAD_51 | morning! | 10:02 |
| TJ- | Installer: OK, that sounds strange. You say that Debian was installed previously, was it starting using GRUB? | 10:02 |
| Installer | Yes it was | 10:03 |
| TJ- | Installer: Even if the Ubuntu installer managed to put the GRUB boot files on, say, the USB device, the previous GRUB from Debian would still be loaded | 10:03 |
| owen__ | After an update, many things wouldn't work with my Ubuntu 12.04 I read somewhere that if I run 'dpkg --configure -a' however I get this output. http://pastebin.com/LCNsk4Gw What should I do? | 10:03 |
| TJ- | Installer: I think you'll need to start the Live ISO image and from that do some detective work to identify what is wrong, and how to fix it | 10:04 |

| Installer | I have no idea | 10:11 |
| Installer | How can I check? | 10:11 |
| TJ- | owen__: There's your problem then "error: "Invalid argument" setting key "fs.inotify.max_user_watches" " ... so identify which file that is in, and comment it out for now: "grep -n 'fs\.inotify\.max_user_watches' /etc/sysctl.d*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Drakonslayor: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 10:12 |
| owen__ | TJ-: Thanks for showing me... :) | 10:12 |
| TJ- | Installer: If you start the Live ISO "Try Ubuntu", at a Terminal you can do "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda" (assuming the hard disk is sda) and that will report on MBR and/or GPT status | 10:12 |
| TJ- | owen__: After making that change you can re-run your reconfigure command | 10:13 |

| TJ- | Installer: OK ... can you pastebin the output of that 'gdisk' command, we need to ensure there's a valid EFI system partition | 10:16 |
| owen__ | TJ-: When I run that command "grep -n 'fs\.inotify\.max_user_watches' /etc/sysctl.d*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf" I get "grep: /etc/sysctl.d*.conf: No such file or directory" | 10:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and two, I have a hdd caddy with ntfs to be used by both operating systems, how do I have it mounted permanently because if I download torrents or have my dropbox configured on it errors out when I boot the device and the programs automatically try to find the source | 10:17 |
| Wiz_KeeD | it's like it has a different name or path and they can't find it:( | 10:17 |
| TJ- | owen__: oops! Typo ... there is a "/" missing between "/etc/sysctl.d" and "*.conf" | 10:18 |

| TJ- | owen__: I'm not sure why that stopped your system working... is it a low-memory system? Because that line you commented out is pretty standard | 10:20 |

| totesmuhgoats | if a box has no keyboard / mouse and will be controlled with synergy, is there a way to login to the lightdm login screen over ssh? | 10:22 |

| thom_r | is it possible to remove Unity and install Cairo dock? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | thom_r: just disable Unity plugin in ccsm, why would you need to uninstall it? | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | thom_r: it uses very little space. | 10:25 |
| thom_r | just curious | 10:25 |
| thom_r | what is ccsm | 10:26 |
| TJ- | installer2: The boot-repair output is conflicting, in that it starts off reporting problems with even mounting sda1 sda2 but then goes on to report on them, and what it reports on the face of it looks correct | 10:27 |
| installer2 | TJ-: ok, and what about the gdisk output I've sent you? is that ok? | 10:27 |
| TJ- | installer2: The only thing I can imagine is your PC's UEFI firmware didn't accept the addition of a boot menu entry | 10:28 |
| installer2 | What should I do in such a case? | 10:28 |
| TJ- | installer2: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr" | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | thom_r: its a config app for compiz | 10:30 |

| TJ- | installer2: It looks like the BootOrder is putting "ubuntu" too far down the order | 10:34 |
| installer2 | OK... is there a way to fix it? | 10:35 |
| TJ- | installer2: If you notice, "ubuntu" is 'Boot0005' and BootOrder doesn't list it first. | 10:35 |
| installer2 | I see | 10:35 |
| TJ- | installer2: "sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0005,0007,0000,0001,0002,0006" | 10:37 |
| installer2 | it gave me an output | 10:37 |
| installer2 | And I see that it's still in the same order | 10:38 |

| installer2 | oh ok | 10:39 |
| installer2 | lol | 10:39 |
| installer2 | please explain | 10:39 |
| TJ- | installer2: check that /dev/sda1 is mounted with "mount | grep sda1" | 10:39 |
| TJ- | installer2: If it is, tell me where, if not do "sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp" | 10:40 |
| onlty | TJ-, /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) | 10:40 |
| installer2 | TJ-: Should I get any output? because I get nothing | 10:40 |
| TJ- | installer2: when there's no output it means it isn't mounted right now, so go ahead with the command I just gave you, which will mount it | 10:41 |
| TJ- | installer2: After you've mounted it you should see a listing of files when you do "find /mnt/tmp -type f" ... if you see files listed, pastebin the list | 10:42 |

| TJ- | installer2: that looks good, "EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi" is the first file the PC's UEFI firmware should load now the boot-order is set correctly | 10:44 |
| TJ- | installer2: go ahead and try a reboot | 10:45 |
| foofoobar | Idealy I want to define a folder list which should be backup'd every X days automatically | 10:45 |

| Installer | *and | 10:49 |
| humbolt | do you guys use ceph and openstack? | 10:49 |
| TJ- | Installer: if the firmware of the PC is changing the boot order, change it manually yourself to make "ubuntu" first in the list | 10:51 |
| Installer | TJ-: how? | 10:51 |
| TJ- | Installer: when the PC boots, press the key to enter "Setup" and then find the boot-order menu and alter it | 10:52 |
| TJ- | Installer: The "Save settings" and continue (re)booting | 10:52 |
| Installer | But I don't believe I will see an "ubuntu" entry in the boot-order there | 10:52 |
| Installer | Right? | 10:52 |
| TJ- | Installer: If that doesn't stick, then the PC's firmware has a bug | 10:52 |
| TJ- | Installer: Yes, you will, efibootmgr showed it in the list | 10:52 |
| Installer | Alright, trying now | 10:53 |
| TJ- | Installer: On UEFI systems the boot menu is managed by the motherboard's UEFI firmware and it stores the boot entries in its own Non-Volatile RAM | 10:53 |
| TJ- | Installer: For it to work, the UEFI firmware expects to find an EFI System Partition on the disk, formatted as FAT12,16, or 32, with an "EFI/" directory containing boot files. The boot menu entries saved in NV-RAM point to those files. | 10:55 |

| bittyx | Hiya. I'm having trouble with updating a package from the Ubuntu repositories. I'm on Linux Mint Olivia (based on Ubuntu Raring), but this package is installed from Ubuntu's repositories. See this link: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-cola | 11:24 |
| bittyx | I'm currently on version 1.8.1 which is consistent with that page, as that's the latest release for Raring. | 11:25 |
| bittyx | However, I'd like to update git-cola to 1.9.3 (the current version). | 11:25 |
| bittyx | How can I do this? | 11:25 |
| TJ- | Installer: What is the make/model of the PC/motherboard? | 11:25 |
| TJ- | bittyx: As it shows, 1.9.3-1 is only released for Trusty, so you'd need to either use the Trusty archive or directly download the .deb packages (and any dependencies) and install them using "dpkg -i" | 11:27 |
| bittyx | TJ-: https://launchpad.net/~eraserix/+archive/git-cola <-- I've just found this repository which is meant for precise. Can I use that somehow? | 11:28 |
| bittyx | To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how package repositories work for debian-based systems. | 11:28 |
| TJ- | bittyx: Then you'd probably best not do it, else you'll risk messing up your system | 11:28 |
| somsip | bittyx: you're asking about mixing ubuntu PPAs with Mint. Neither of these are supported here... | 11:29 |
| bittyx | somsip: That's not true. I've explicitly stated that git-cola is pulled from Ubuntu's repositories. | 11:29 |
| bittyx | somsip: Mint doesn't have git-cola in their repositories. | 11:29 |
| somsip | bittyx: https://launchpad.net/~eraserix/+archive/git-cola is a PPA | 11:29 |
| bittyx | somsip: So if I add that to my software sources, and do "apt-get install git-cola", I'll get the (newer) version from that PPA? | 11:30 |
| bittyx | somsip: How does apt decide where to get git-cola from, if multiple sources have it? | 11:30 |
| somsip | bittyx: no idea. We don't support mint here. Really. I'm not just being difficult, we just don't know | 11:30 |
| bittyx | somsip: Are you saying that Mint uses a different apt program than Ubuntu does? Don't they handle packages pretty much exactly the same? | 11:32 |
| bittyx | This is really a more general question that *can* be answered without regards to Mint. | 11:32 |
| somsip | bittyx: I've had nothing to do with mint, so I don't know. | 11:32 |
| bittyx | I have a package "git-cola" installed from *Ubuntu's* raring repository. It's an old version. I want a newer one. How do I get it? | 11:33 |
| gordonjcp | I'd be more inclined to help with mint if they had an irc channel on freenode | 11:33 |
| somsip | bittyx: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will bring in all latest version from official repos | 11:33 |
| gordonjcp | also I'd give mint a shot if it had unity | 11:33 |
| bittyx | somsip: The official repo for raring has git-cola 1.8.1. The trusty repo has 1.9.3 (the current stable). | 11:34 |
| bittyx | somsip: So sudo apt-get update won't make my git-cola upgrade to 1.9.3. | 11:34 |
| somsip | bittyx: if you have raring installed, you can install raring packages. If you are using trusty, you need to be in #ubuntu+1 as it's still in beta and not supported here... | 11:34 |
| bittyx | gordonjcp: One of the reasons I'm using Mint is specifically *because* it doesn't have Unity (though I'm sure it can be installed one way or another). | 11:35 |
| somsip | bittyx: EOT for me. I know you want answers, but this really isn't the place to ask | 11:35 |
| mikubuntu | ok, no doubt about it now -- there is some (probably) hardware problem with this laptop. when i put the boot cd in, it spins up, some processing occurs onscreen, it goes to the language selection screen, and then goes blank/black and silent. no spinning, no blinking, just the power indicator light and the wireless indicator light showing. | 11:35 |
| bittyx | somsip: So if the Ubuntu raring repository doesn't update git-cola to a newer version, I can't update it through the software manager? | 11:35 |
| MonkeyDust | bittyx better ask in the mint channel | 11:36 |

| bittyx | Gah. This is obviously not a Mint-specific question, but you guys always refuse to touch anything Mint-related with a 10 foot pole. Even though I'm specifically asking about Ubuntu's software repositories, and Ubuntu's package update system. | 11:36 |
| MonkeyDust | hi puppylinux2 | 11:37 |
| bittyx | I get that you don't want to take responsibility for a different system (and that's fine), but this is really *not* a Mint question. | 11:37 |
| puppylinux2 | MonkeyDust: which is official linuxmint channel? | 11:37 |

| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 11:37 |

| bittyx | k1l_: I'm aware; I just never felt like putting that much energy into something I can have by default (ie. an efficient user interface). | 11:39 |
| k1l_ | bittyx: and yes, mint handles the repositories differently than ubuntu. they need to do this that ubuntu updates dont break their setup. so please ask them for mint topics | 11:39 |
| bittyx | k1l_: (Efficient for me personally, of course.) | 11:39 |

| ivan88 | ?? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | no | 11:40 |
| bittyx | Okay, so if I rephrase the question to be Ubuntu-specific, can I get an answer? Imagine I'm using raring, and "sudo apt-get install git-cola" installs version 1.8.1 of the package. The newest git-cola version, however, is 1.9.3. How can I install the newest version? | 11:41 |

| mikubuntu | it was working fine yesterday right up until i backed up/copied all my files off onto a usb | 11:44 |
| bittyx | ikonia: Okay, but what about this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~eraserix/+archive/git-cola <--- can I install it from there? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | bittyx: depends, what distribution are you using (honeslty) | 11:44 |
| bittyx | ikonia: I'm using Linux Mint Olivia which is built on Ubuntu Raring. I'm being honest from the start, I didn't lie about that. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | bittyx: and take it to the mint channels and they can clarify that | 11:45 |
| k1l_ | bittyx: ask the mint guys if that is compatible | 11:45 |
| ikonia | bittyx: then "no" | 11:45 |
| bittyx | ikonia: I realize I can add that PPA; my original question was actually how "apt-get install" decides where to install the package from, if it's available in multiple added software sources. | 11:45 |
| ikonia | bittyx: "no" is the answer to your question | 11:45 |
| k1l_ | bittyx: and exactly that is different on mint. like i told they need do because of they dont want ubuntu updates break their stuff | 11:46 |
| k1l_ | bittyx: so stop making a drama and ask the mint guys about how they handle the stuff | 11:46 |
| TJ- | Installer: Also, try the Lenovo bootable diagnostics for UEFI: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=LENV-DIAGS#uefi | 11:47 |

| ikonia | bittyx: and you're losing that help and good faith by asking us to support mint, so please stop and taking it to the mint channel you've not even asked there yet | 11:48 |
| bittyx | Both before, when I was actually using Ubuntu, and a few times when I asked question about Mint here. And to be honest, I've asked questions here, and gotten answers which *solved* my problems, but I wouldn't have gotten those answers if I mentioned I was on Mint. | 11:48 |

| MonkeyDust | bittyx tip: you coul've use your wasted time here, to ask support in the mint channel | 11:50 |
| k1l_ | enough of that mint talk. i explained 2 times now why that is not a question for this channel. if mint support is that bad, that they dont answer you that questions it is not our duty. so please choose your distro according to their support if support is important to you. | 11:51 |
| sh0t | hey guys i am still getting problems with RT3290 wireless card on UBuntu 13.10 (it disconnects after a while of networking) i am running kernel 3.12 any ideas? | 11:55 |
| ikonia | you shouldnt be running 3.12 | 11:56 |
| ikonia | that is not the stable kernel for 13.10 | 11:56 |
| sh0t | yeah i know ikonia but i tried other fixes which didn't work then on many askubuntu and ubuntu forum i read many thread which suggested to try that kernel so i did it and it seemd to work yesterday but it seems i was wrong | 11:57 |
| Layke | I've been trying to install kcachegrind, but after constantly chasing down dependencies, I'm like 7 deep, and just confused, as to what this means.. | 11:58 |
| Layke | I've been | 11:58 |
| ikonia | the package should automatically meet dependencies | 11:59 |
| ikonia | if it's not doing so it's probably coming from an external repo that's a mess | 11:59 |
| Layke | Yeah it's not. I started on kcachegrind, then it asked for kde-runtime, then asked for kdelibs, then qt4-support | 11:59 |
| Layke | Then xyz, etc... | 11:59 |
| Elico | is this the place for ubuntu-server? | 11:59 |
| mikubuntu | please, can someone help -- i'm at wit's end with this box | 12:00 |
| ikonia | Layke: are you building it from source or installing a package | 12:00 |
| Layke | ikonia, Attempting from package | 12:00 |
| Layke | apt-get install kcachegrind | 12:00 |
| Layke | This is the reqs page: http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/show.cgi/KcacheGrindInstallation | 12:00 |

| Elico | mikubuntu: what is the issue? | 12:01 |
| mikubuntu | ok, no doubt about it now -- there is some (probably) hardware problem with this laptop. when i put the boot cd in, it spins up, some processing occurs onscreen, it goes to the language selection screen, and then goes blank/black and silent. no spinning, no blinking, just the power indicator light and the wireless indicator light showing. | 12:01 |

| Layke | ikonia, So, I essentially would need to remove a package that was previously installed | 12:22 |

| mikubuntu | Elico: must it be copied to usb via unetbootin? | 12:28 |
| Elico | I have used "dd" form the iso file into the USB.. | 12:28 |
| TJ- | Layke: You could try looking in "/var/log/apt/history*". If you can find the package you originally installed from the external repo you should also see a list of all the packages and versions it pulled in, which would allow you to manually remove the same | 12:28 |
| Elico | but it will erase the usb conetent.. | 12:28 |

| irgendwer4711 | Elico: you can do an upgrade, if you want | 12:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Installer unity is a shell over gnome, i guess you mean gnome-shell | 12:50 |
| Installer | MonkeyDust: That's correct | 12:50 |
| quem | TJ-: good question. I think it's UEFI, and I did the "normal" install as I had grown tired of trying to install with a fawlty usb drive for three hours before it struck me. | 12:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Installer i'm using it myself, works like a charm | 12:50 |
| quem | so I'm not sure how GRUB was installed. | 12:50 |

| Elico | quem: usb 1.1 ? | 12:51 |
| quem | the three SATA drives are strictly for storage. | 12:51 |
| TJ- | quem: Is the laptop UEFI too? If not, I'd guess GRUB would install in legacy mode, which would mean the micro-server needs to boot using the CSM in legacy mode | 12:51 |
| quem | Elico: usb 2 | 12:51 |
| Elico | quem: what 16 GB memory? | 12:51 |
| TJ- | quem: then that definitely sounds like a boot order issue... it's looking at the HDDs first... correct that and it should be fine | 12:52 |
| mikubuntu | Elico: ok, i found the device partition for the usb in gparted -- how do i erase, reformat? | 12:52 |
| Elico | mikubuntu: make sure that there is no important data on it... if there is back it up... | 12:52 |
| quem | TJ-: the laptop is UEFI, but i enabled legacy mode or soemthing like that as I had trouble installing GRUB on it when I installed ubuntu two months ago. | 12:52 |

| mikubuntu | no i just had finnux on it, now i'm going to use unet to replace finnux on the stick (unless you want to walk me thru dd) | 12:55 |
| Elico | if you want and when you want I'm here | 12:55 |

| Elico | pvl1: you need more then just to know superblock... | 12:59 |
| Elico | or to edit.. | 12:59 |
| pvl1 | I thought it begins after the first 1024 bytes of a partition | 12:59 |
| Elico | you better take it out of the drive and see what you can do with it manually and later on edit it.. | 12:59 |
| Elico | pvl1: in most cases it is.. | 13:00 |
| Elico | you can manually override it.. | 13:00 |
| quem | TJ-: the usb flash drive is already set as 1st in the boot priority list. | 13:00 |
| === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 | ||
| pvl1 | Elico the situation is that im dd'ing a partion larger than the target, but the actual data in source will fit in target | 13:00 |
| pvl1 | doing a dd, errors the superblock | 13:01 |
| pvl1 | on target | 13:01 |
| Elico | well it's not that important... | 13:01 |
| Ben64 | you can't dd to something that is smaller | 13:01 |
| Elico | the basic thing to look is to first make sure that the usb and the iso fits each other in all parameters.. | 13:01 |
| TJ- | pvl1: Can you not use "e2fsck -b XXX ..." to specify an alternate superblock? | 13:01 |
| pvl1 | TJ- the problem is that I earlier accidentally did /dev/sdb to sdc rather than sdb1 to sdc1 | 13:02 |
| TJ- | pvl1: ahh, if the target is smaller, you've truncated the file-system | 13:02 |
| pvl1 | yup | 13:03 |
| Elico | pvl1: this is where it is important to make sure couple things before doing them... | 13:03 |
| Ben64 | yeah, you can go to a larger target, but not smaller. it won't work | 13:03 |

| quem | TJ-: what do you think of using a later version of ubuntu? | 13:08 |
| MorpHuis | i tried all the tipes of installation that ubuntu forum offered and are now using it on windows 8.1 via virtual machine | 13:08 |
| quem | so weird that i can see the drive as 3tb in parted, but it appears as unpartitioned.. sigh. | 13:08 |
| TJ- | quem: I can't see the version making a difference. It sounds like a boot-order issue, complicated by the system being UEFI and the installation being Legacy. You need to investigate the micro-server configuration tools for that. It should have the option to boot a Legacy install using its Compatibility Support Module | 13:10 |
| quem | TJ-: i discovered the microserver isn't UEFI. my laptop is though. | 13:11 |
| TJ- | quem: Well that would make a difference, if you installed GRUB in EFI mode! | 13:12 |
| quem | how do i check in which manner grub was installed? as i let the installation program do that choice for me. | 13:12 |

| Mattias | On ubuntu 13.10, when I install phpunit it also fetche apache2 and starts it. This messes with nginx in an automatic installation and will cause nginx to fail to start when the nginx installation runs. Can you somehow tell the package manager to not pull in apache2 & co? And why would you need that when you use phpunit? What's wrong with php-fpm and php-cli? | 13:28 |

| cfhowlett | TeraJL, LTS to LTS install is quite easy. clean install is recommended but not required. | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | repozitor: just generally, or using sudo? | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | TeraJL: use 12.04 and you can upgrade directly to Trusty which is also LTS, in April 2014 | 13:48 |
| TeraJL | thanks :) | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | soryy708: then it is supported by the Ubuntu community :) | 13:49 |

| soryy708 | Walex: a: How do I do that? b: Why doesn't it do that implicitly? | 13:50 |
| Walex | TeraJL: I agree, LTS is usually the best choice. With some backports for desktop stuff it is even better. | 13:50 |
| Walex | soryy708: it may do that implicitly, but session management is not always a reliable thing. It relies on a slightly hairy protocol. | 13:50 |
| cfhowlett | TeraJL, LTS only means WAY fewer headaches ... unless you truly need the latest, greatest shiny version | 13:51 |

| Wilkim | Just wondering, how much more RAM (estimated) does Ubuntu Server x64 (v13) use out of the box with an identical equivalent of debian (without the desktop experience), with no packages selected, as in no ssh-server, no lamp, etc. | 14:15 |
| iptable | repozitor: if the user is not root and the application can only be run as root, the 'student' will need to sudo application, yes. | 14:15 |
| iptable | repozitor: that is the correct way and people using linux should learn to use sudo when needed. | 14:15 |
| iptable | Wilkim: why do you say "more"? | 14:16 |
| === Siya is now known as siya | ||
| iptable | Wilkim: ubuntu server naked install on ext4 on my system with nothing added uses about 60mb of RAM. That includes me being logged in and executing the free -m. I'm sure if you blacklist the modules you don't need, you will use even less. | 14:17 |
| iptable | Wilkim: not sure about debian, never tried to see how much RAM it needs. | 14:17 |
| shreezbot | I had to install Ubuntu on my server using the alternate install disk is there a good way to convert this to the server install? | 14:17 |
| Wilkim | well, when it comes to vmware Workstation, if I select Ubuntu x64, it defaults to 1GB ram, but thats probably because its expecting a full blown desktop experiance and all, debian 7 x64 defaults to 512MB, so it got me wondering. | 14:17 |
| iptable | shreezbot: what did an alternate disk install? | 14:18 |
| soryy708 | Hi. I think that KDE (plasma and others) don't have proper permissions. How do I verify that and (if required) give them the permissions they require to operate properly? | 14:18 |
| Wilkim | If I had to guess debian installs less, as you have to do apt-get install sudo to even have sudo without the desktop experiance, and in ubuntu-server it comes default so I assume more comes with debian than ubuntu-server | 14:18 |
| iptable | shreezbot: if you got nothing installed on that alternate disk, and running standard ubuntu kernel, you already have a "server install". install the stuff you need and done. | 14:18 |
| shreezbot | iptable, Why did I do the alternate install? I had issues with the installer on the server disk locking up on me. | 14:19 |
| iptable | Wilkim: sudo is not loaded into RAM until you run it, so no. That's got nothing to do with it. A system running empty is kernel+modules+soem libraries+whatever starts from init. | 14:19 |
| shreezbot | iptable, Doesn't the server exclude a bunch of "desktop stuff" you don't need, like Unity? | 14:20 |
| iptable | Wilkim: if you disable stuff you don't need to not start on both, and blacklist the modules you don't need on both, you end up having the same system. It's a matter of which kernel is bigger | 14:20 |
| ansrster | Whenever I boot from a livedisc on my laptop (win 8 pre installed) even with safeboot off it just loads up without the GUI, does anyone know how to fix this? | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | shreezbot server doenst come with a GUI at all | 14:20 |
| iptable | shreezbot: so I am asking what you have installed with alternate install? | 14:20 |
| iptable | shreezbot: there is a way to boot the server installer btw in a way it will allow you to complete installation using ssh from a remote machine ;) but I guess the problem is more complicated. | 14:21 |
| gregf_ | somsip: thanks | 14:21 |
| Wilkim | iptable I figured, I was just wondering, thank you for the information :) | 14:21 |
| tomixxx | how do i find out which LINUX kernel driver is nunning behind my ubuntu? | 14:21 |
| iptable | shreezbot: I would say aptitude purge unity unity-2d etc... to make it a "server" install. compare what is and isn't installed on ubuntu server and remove it using aptitude purge from current install. | 14:21 |
| iptable | Wilkim: no problem. | 14:21 |

| ikonia | so "install a gui" doesn't seem a good fix | 14:23 |
| iptable | shreezbot: pretty much I would say. aptitude purge unity unity-2d should fix that | 14:23 |
| ansrster | Yeah | 14:23 |
| jeet | are xubuntu and ubuntu the same thing except for the desktop environment? | 14:23 |
| iptable | oh, missed the livecd thingie. still, what distro and what DE? | 14:23 |
| ikonia | it's probably droping to the busy box shell due to lack of disk being avilable, or not loading the X11 session due to the video card | 14:23 |
| ansrster | ubuntu 12.04 | 14:24 |
| bgardner | jeet: Yes | 14:24 |
| jeet | thanks | 14:24 |

| ansrster | Deault DE so unity, but i've had the same issue with Gnome | 14:24 |

| ansrster | then that | 14:25 |
| jeet | which version should i go with? i see 13.10 is the newest, is that good? | 14:25 |
| iptable | what is the line you are getting in the command prompt? I need that to know if you are in busybox/shell etc | 14:25 |
| k1l_ | jeet: yes, that is good | 14:25 |

| MonkeyDust | jeet 12.04 if you want long support, 13.10 if you want the latest stuff | 14:25 |

| ansrster | not just ubuntu, when I try Elementary it can't load up at all | 14:40 |
| greys | TriBeCa99: well the same command with /dev/md0 or /dev/md1 may also work - in different distros default number is different | 14:40 |
| iptable | ansrster: you will have tyo go through dmesg and /var/log/X.org... etc to find an error | 14:40 |
| Beast_ | I had a problem with a toshiba too, a satallite L350D. It'd get really hot to the point where it'd power it self off | 14:40 |
| iptable | ansrster: or try /etc/init.d/gdm start or /etc/init.d/lightdm start - see if they produce an error | 14:41 |
| TriBeCa99 | greys: md0 is the softRaid 1 ubuntu is installed on. I just set up the hardware (not fake) Raid 6, but I'm not seeing it in /dev/ | 14:41 |
| Beast_ | apparently some kernel module (for a netbook model) would have worked but no longer available | 14:43 |
| TriBeCa99 | any chance the raid 6 is showing up as /dev/sda for some reason? My 3 raid 1 disks appear to be sdb, sdc, and sdd--no idea what sda would be otherwise | 14:43 |
| greys | TriBeCa99: I see. So you configured in on the RAID controller or in your BIOS. Then check dmesg, it should show a new device registering upon reboot (probably /dev/sd*) | 14:43 |
| ansrster | given me this error message | 14:44 |
| TriBeCa99 | greys: Yes--I'm not seeing where in dmsg it defines the dev/sd* | 14:44 |

| Enfo | Hello all. I've set up a NFSv4 server according to the wiki and I have a problem. I need to create a hard link between two sub-folders (/export/client1/dir1/ and /export/client1/dir2/) on the pseudo filesystem, but this apparently isnt possible because the two directories (which are mounted with mount --bind) are in practice two different file systems. Is there any way around this? | 14:56 |
| tomixxx | i can see eth1 care but it does not get any ip from dhcp server. "interfaces" file is edited already: auto eth1 \\ iface eth1 inet dhcp | 14:57 |
| tomixxx | -care, | 14:57 |
| tomixxx | +card | 14:57 |
| tomixxx | does anyone know what the problem could be? | 14:58 |
| iptable | tomixxx: do you have the isc-dhcp-client package installed? | 14:58 |
| iptable | tomixxx: run `which dhclient` to see if you have dhcp client | 14:59 |
| ansrster | the last thing it said is * Stoping system V runlevel compatalibilty [OK] and nothing since | 14:59 |
| tomixxx | iptable: if i try it with my other etherncard, card, i get an ip over dhcp | 14:59 |
| solofight | i am installing ubuntu on my laptop - i read the tutorial that i need to create a root (similar to c: on windows) and swap (which should be equal to ram size and for higher size disk, double the ram size)...... Now i have a 500 GB disk on which 250 GB i am allocating for ubuntu... so should i leave 8gb swap or 16 gb swap ?? (my ram is 8Gb) | 14:59 |
| tomixxx | iptable: terminal says /sbin/dhclient | 14:59 |
| iptable | tomixxx: so it's only an issue for one interface? cable faulty? | 15:00 |
| dyu | how do i let an ssh-dss key login to my machine? ssh-rsa keys work fine. 12.04 | 15:00 |
| tomixxx | iptable: yes, only one interface | 15:00 |
| tomixxx | iptable and it is not the cable | 15:01 |
| iptable | tomixxx: if eth0 is disabled, does eth1 get dhcp address by any chance? | 15:01 |
| tomixxx | iptable: so i should run "sudo ifdown eth0" ? | 15:01 |
| iptable | tomixxx: did you service networking restart once you changed interfaces file? | 15:02 |
| tomixxx | whenever i change "interfaces" file, i do ifdown or ifup on the edited ethernet card | 15:02 |
| iptable | tomixxx: that doesn't necessarily work. | 15:03 |
| tomixxx | iptable: ok, so what could i do? | 15:03 |
| FireStorms | Is dual booting linux and windows a security threat to linux when logged into the windows os? | 15:04 |
| iptable | tomixxx: service networking restart | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | FireStorms: no because Windows cannot access Ext4 | 15:04 |
| FireStorms | ActionParsnip, support for etx4 can be gotten for windows | 15:05 |
| tomixxx | iptable: what is the command for this and is it the same if i simply reboot the computer? | 15:05 |
| iptable | tomixxx: service networking restart | 15:05 |
| MonkeyDust | FireStorms still, windows malware wouldnt work in linux | 15:05 |
| iptable | tomixxx: and yes, if you just reboot, it will have the same effect | 15:06 |
| tomixxx | iptable: k, because i have rebooted but it does not help | 15:06 |
| FireStorms | MonkeyDust, but could files be accessed? | 15:06 |
| MonkeyDust | FireStorms i've never read anywhere that it could, so no | 15:06 |
| fer755 | MonkeyDust dont worry only malware related to nic's and so are minimal | 15:06 |
| tomixxx | if i do "sudo service networking restart" it says : "stop: unknown instance: networking stop/waiting" | 15:07 |
| MonkeyDust | fer755 i'm not worrying, better tell it to FireStorms | 15:07 |
| iptable | tomixxx: put only eth1 declaration into /etc/network/interfaces, no eth0. Then reboot. Just for the sake of it. If that doesn't fix it, it will be 1. network driver or 2. cable or 3. the switch/port it's plugged into | 15:07 |
| fer755 | routers, isp servers etc etc | 15:08 |
| FireStorms | The answer is yes anyway, it's possible to access a linux partion on windows http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows | 15:08 |

| iptable | FireStorms: "security" of what? Linux cannot get windows viruses. Your only concern would be some virus which will remove all files after installing ext2 driver... | 15:11 |
| MonkeyDust | !av | FireStorms do some reading here | 15:11 |
| ubottu | FireStorms do some reading here: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 15:11 |

| FireStorms | iptable, I know, but I don't want anyone getting access to my projects on linux whilst on windows | 15:12 |
| iptable | tomixxx: I would say 1. cable or 2. network card driver or 3. switch/port that the cable is plugged into | 15:12 |
| tomixxx | iptable: it is not the cable!!! ^^ | 15:12 |
| iptable | FireStorms: you should use encryption for your /home in that case | 15:12 |
| iptable | tomixxx: tried with another cable I'm guessing. | 15:12 |
| tomixxx | iptable: y, i have 3k cables here :D | 15:13 |
| iptable | tomixxx: ok, 2 options left. are you sure it's not a switch/port? Switch could be allowing dhcp only for a particular mac (mac locking), etc... | 15:13 |
| tomixxx | iptable: i dont know, i have no access to the switch which connects me to the university-network | 15:14 |
| tomixxx | iptable: maybe i have the wrong network driver installed | 15:14 |
| tomixxx | hmm | 15:15 |
| iptable | tomixxx: I would guess it could be switch blocking. contact the network admin. | 15:15 |

| MonkeyDust | FireStorms look at the big title http://www.ubuntu.com/ | 15:16 |
| FireStorms | MonkeyDust, haha cool, would this apply to linux mint too? | 15:16 |

| iptable | gregf_: or change mirror | 15:49 |

| Layke | I'm trying to fix my repo issues. I still can't install certain packages. This time I'm trying to install wine... http://pastie.org/8672271 | 15:49 |
| gregf_ | llutz: how could i change mirror? is it by changing the sources list? | 15:49 |
| solofight | iptable: ou cannot createa a partition on the start without removing your win8 partition ? | 15:49 |
| solofight | EFI ? | 15:49 |
| iptable | computer: please check with your hardware manufacturer. Check the model/make of your laptop and try on the manufacturer website | 15:49 |
| Layke | Getting an unmet dependency : wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-amd64 (= 1:1.7.11-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed | 15:49 |
| gregf_ | llutz: /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 15:50 |
| computer | iptable ok, I will be back | 15:50 |
| shreezbot | MonkeyDust, Yes, but the problem that I'm having is that I should be able to just do a "sudo reboot" and it should reboot the machine. I don't understand why it isn't rebooting when I do that... | 15:50 |
| llutz | spartacurse: no remote control over the machine, no wakeonlan possible, nothing? saturn or venus would be fine then | 15:50 |
| Layke | Learning from my previous issues, I think it's because I have installed something previously that is conflicting? So am I suposed to remove that package? And then try? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 15:50 |
| iptable | solofight: I'm guessing you will have to remove all partitions and start over to get this working. sorry. | 15:50 |

| solofight | iptable: including win8 ? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: are you using a PPA? | 15:50 |
| Layke | ActionParsnip, Originally no. That was failing. Then I added the wine PPA | 15:51 |
| Layke | It was failing for 1.4 | 15:51 |
| iptable | solofight: you already have a partition on the start where you need reserved bios boot area to dual-boot. therefore you would need to remove it. | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: we cannot support PPAs here | 15:51 |
| Layke | !info wine1.4 precise | 15:51 |

| Layke | That's what I was trying | 15:51 |
| Layke | I'll remove the PPA | 15:51 |
| MonkeyDust | shreezbot yes, this says so too, lemme try on other machine http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shutdown-ubuntu-linux-computer/ | 15:51 |
| gregf_ | llutz: should i clear everything from there? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: once you remove it, run the command in step 5 here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure | 15:52 |
| solofight | iptable: in the partition screen amongst various partitions,,, when i scroll to the far left it says free space 1.0mb and the same on the far right.... both the beginning and ending of the disk is free space with 1mb | 15:52 |
| iptable | whoever: did you specify full path for the shortcut, or just "firefox"? | 15:52 |
| llutz | gregf_: just replace the main-ubuntu-mirrors if you really want that | 15:52 |
| llutz | gregf_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/104695/how-do-i-change-mirrors-in-ubuntu-server-from-regional-to-main | 15:52 |
| solofight | iptable: are you saying that win8 has already created the bios boot area and i need to remove that and create a new for the ubuntu ? if yes how to identify which partition to remove ? | 15:53 |
| iptable | solofight: you need slightly more for BIOS boot area from what I remember. you can try to create it at the start on the 1MB, but I doubt it will work.give it a shot. | 15:53 |
| gregf_ | llutz: other than the mirrors, would it be possible to also fix the unmet dependencies error please? | 15:53 |
| iptable | solofight: no. you have windows as first partition, right? | 15:53 |
| llutz | gregf_: maybe your mirror isn't synced completely atm and it holds back updates. wait a while if possible and try again | 15:53 |
| solofight | iptable: yes | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | shreezbot sudo reboot reboots on 12.04, ok, i wondre what's wrong on your pc | 15:54 |
| gregf_ | llutz: well i've been trying for hours altogether and i am where i was 4 hours back :/ | 15:54 |
| llutz | gregf_: "a while" might take days | 15:54 |
| shreezbot | MonkeyDust, Yea, that's what I'm having trouble figuring out... It is very strange... | 15:54 |
| gregf_ | is it possible to restore my file system to a previous state :/ | 15:54 |
| iptable | solofight: in that case, linux needs some space at the beginning, before windows, in order to put some boot code. It cannot since windows is already there. you do need to remove windows partition and createa that boot area and windows behind it. you *could* try shrinking the windows partition, but if it fails, you lost it | 15:55 |
| shreezbot | MonkeyDust, It actually tells me the system is going down for reboot NOW, but then does nothing... | 15:55 |
| llutz | gregf_: apt-get remove openssh-server | 15:55 |
| jhutchins | iptable: That is not correct. | 15:55 |
| alloxrinfo | Hi | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | gregf_: use your backups | 15:55 |
| demophobia | Is Ubuntu One free? | 15:55 |
| demophobia | e.g. backups? | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: yes, and no | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: you get some storage free, you can pay for more | 15:55 |
| jhutchins | solofight: iptable is wrong, the space (for the mbr) is already available on a Windows system. | 15:56 |
| solofight | iptable: but what happens if i create the bios boot space in between ? | 15:56 |
| solofight | jhutchins: how to correct this ? | 15:56 |
| iptable | jhutchins: we already know windows works. it's linux that won't install as it wants "bios reserved boot area" at the beginning of the HDD, where currently windows sits. | 15:56 |
| jhutchins | solofight: This is true of GPT/UEFI as well, Windows has already allocated the space. | 15:56 |
| jhutchins | !efi | 15:57 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 15:57 |
| demophobia | Is it 5 GB of free backup storage? https://one.ubuntu.com/services/free/ | 15:57 |
| solofight | jhutchins: yes you are right - i saw something like UEFi in the bios | 15:58 |
| solofight | will read that link and get back | 15:58 |
| alloxrinfo | Long time i did not scipted anything. I need a little help from someone kind enough. What would be the best way for me to get a script or a function that would replace some text (with variables given when executing the script) in a based text ? Do i need to be more clear ? Like my text is Hey hello $1 do you want some $2, and the script would be function hello { echo "Hello $1 do you want some $2 ?" } The problem is that i hav | 15:58 |
| alloxrinfo | e 5 variables at least and the thing i need to Echo or write in a document is some Html Code | 15:58 |
| iptable | jhutchins: ooh, interesting. didn't realise there was a whole manual for that. we live and learn | 15:58 |
| MonkeyDust | alloxrinfo better ask in #bash, i guess | 15:59 |
| alloxrinfo | or in #php ;) | 15:59 |
| alloxrinfo | ok thanks MonkeyDust | 15:59 |
| Layke | ActionParsnip, This: https://gist.github.com/62b93c0bfd6f029d24ef | 15:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: ok, run: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install wine | 16:00 |
| Layke | ActionParsnip, From fixing previous repo/dependency issues today, most of this has been caused by some bad PPA package I think I might have installed. | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: thats why PPAs are not advised | 16:01 |
| Layke | http://pastie.org/private/wswb7cha2ctilcjgzq6gw | 16:01 |
| Layke | Yeah. I've learnt from this mistake definitely.. | 16:02 |
| Layke | I can't even imagine what PPA it could be. It's not like I go adding every PPA under the sun | 16:02 |
| Layke | Just things like dropbox/spotify/google/steam for installing their products. But I guess.. that's where I went wrong at some point | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: run: sudo apt-get -f install does it sort the packages? | 16:04 |
| Layke | No? http://pastie.org/8672308 | 16:04 |
| fellayaboy | hey can ubuntu act as a pxe server and deploy windows images | 16:04 |
| Touhou11 | Layke: Be careful installing proprietary software, it could be damaging your system | 16:05 |
| demophobia | adobe flash web plugin keeps crashing every time i try to mouseover a particular application of it | 16:05 |
| Layke | Touhou11, It's definitely damaging :) It's borked up massively | 16:05 |
| demophobia | i've already reported it once via the 'send crash report' thing it has; should i just let it go? | 16:05 |
| kevlar555 | Hi from Argentina! | 16:05 |
| Touhou11 | Richard Stallman summarizes the issues with proprietary software nicely here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html | 16:06 |

| vearva | hello, I got ubuntu 12.04.03 and it freeze totally sometimes | 16:18 |
| Elico | there is a basic issue with samba4 which is stated as the password complexity. | 16:19 |
| TeraJL | on phoronix http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1210_ups&num=2 , i see some low FPS vs 12.10... was it an update that eventually got to LTS, or is it not as significative as it looks, (i will use this machine for gamming) | 16:19 |
| vearva | keyboard, mouse not working+monitor freeze, can't do anything | 16:19 |
| iptable | vearva: tried CTRL+ALT+F1 when it's frozen? | 16:19 |
| Morgan_Freeman | http://i.imgur.com/KPM7Jkv.jpg | 16:19 |
| iptable | vearva: if so, and if that doesn't respond: install lm-sensors and xsensors. Monitor temperature. See if it's temperature related (overheating). | 16:20 |
| ddssc | iptable: how do I kill that script? | 16:21 |
| repozitor | iptable, for example when i login to my sourceforcge account, i can't ping any site. | 16:21 |
| vearva | iptable, hi, I tried your command once but impossible, keyboard not working when the freeze occur; temperature is fine also | 16:21 |
| repozitor | let me see how they do this | 16:21 |
| iptable | vearva: you could also, after rebooting, check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg* if you have one, in order to find out if there are any useful lines there. | 16:21 |
| repozitor | do you know how they do this? | 16:21 |
| repozitor | i have ssh access on my sourceforge account | 16:22 |
| iptable | vearva: "temperature is fine", but did you have it monitored when this happened? | 16:22 |
| vearva | iptable, my fan didn't make so much noise | 16:22 |
| vearva | iptable oh | 16:23 |
| iptable | vearva: hah. ok. now, did you know a CPU temperature may jump from 60 degrees to 110 in 3 seconds? Did you know your sensors might not even figure out to turn the fan up by the time it's overheating? | 16:23 |
| vearva | I found interesting thing in the log! | 16:23 |
| iptable | repozitor: you got me lost. what's the issue? | 16:23 |
| iptable | vearva: you can share the interesting thing via pastebin ;) | 16:24 |
| vearva | iptable, nop, but I found some error in the log from your directory; drivers seems to be the culprit | 16:24 |
| repozitor | iptable, i can't create a group with my limitation rules! | 16:24 |
| vearva | damn amd lol | 16:24 |
| repozitor | i need to block some specific CMD's like apt-get and ping and etc | 16:24 |
| ddssc | ip: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable | 16:25 |
| iptable | repozitor: I don't think I worked on your issue. first time I heard. Block globally, or what? Also, users without root access cannot apt-get install anyways and ping is not a hacker command, whatever they tell you | 16:25 |
| iptable | ddssc: I already told you. lsof |grep dpkg. Then kill -9 PID or pkill -9 NAME | 16:26 |
| iptable | vearva: hah, welcome to AMD world. what's the error anyways? | 16:26 |
| MonkeyDust | repozitor is this usefeul http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1908933 | 16:26 |
| repozitor | iptable, i want to block some CMD's like axel wget and. | 16:26 |
| ddssc | iptable: done all that. I breaks when I try to apt purge likewise | 16:26 |
| repozitor | because network limitations | 16:26 |
| iptable | vearva: also, AMD do *some* drivers to their cards for linux. you could check if it's there | 16:27 |
| Layke | Does this aptitude output mean anything to anyone? I am not sure how to proceed with install wine. http://pastie.org/8672385 | 16:27 |
| vearva | iptable, thx for your help, I appreciate http://pastebin.com/x8y2QDzv | 16:27 |
| repozitor | MonkeyDust, no | 16:27 |
| iptable | repozitor: I still don't understand why you would block wget and ping. Do you want to block all internet? | 16:27 |
| repozitor | iptable, yes, | 16:27 |
| iptable | ddssc: no, when you try to purge, it says debconf is used. lsof |grep debconf | 16:28 |
| repozitor | please note that users login to ubuntu using ssh! | 16:28 |
| iptable | repozitor: there are better methods to blocking internet than blocking particular network tools | 16:28 |
| iptable | repozitor: so you want users to ssh into the box but not access internet outgoing? | 16:28 |
| repozitor | hhhmm, yes | 16:28 |
| repozitor | also blocking something like apt-get and .... | 16:29 |
| fego | 12 | 16:29 |
| ddssc | iptable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6827021/ | 16:29 |
| iptable | repozitor: sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -j drop | 16:29 |
| iptable | repozitor: apt-get will get blocked, as internet outgoing access will be blocked | 16:29 |
| iptable | repozitor: if using ufw: ufw default deny outgoing | 16:30 |
| repozitor | is there possible in linux to define access level for groups? | 16:30 |
| repozitor | in my mind access level is some users in group X, can't use apt-get | 16:30 |
| iptable | repozitor: to block outgoing connections for a specific user: sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner {USERNAME} -j REJECT | 16:31 |
| vearva | iptable, do you how to backport saucy kernel to 12.04. | 16:31 |
| llutz | repozitor: using apt-get would need root-rights/sudo, make sure your users cannot | 16:31 |
| iptable | vearva: I don't know the official method, but I would add the saucy repo, aptitude update; aptitude install {whatever kernel you want}, remove saucy repo | 16:32 |
| repozitor | iptable, ok, that's very good | 16:32 |
| repozitor | what about blocking installing .deb offilne? | 16:32 |
| iptable | repozitor: to install .deb, users need root access. you should NEVER give them root access, then they cannot install .deb | 16:32 |
| vearva | iptable, k thx man | 16:33 |
| ddssc | iptable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6827021/ | 16:33 |

| iptable | ddssc: I would now propose to you to reboot, then aptitude purge likewise-open, then aptitude install likewise-open | 16:34 |
| repozitor | ok, thanks, | 16:34 |
| repozitor | i will ask if i hit to an issue | 16:34 |
| iptable | repozitor: no prob. just run the iptables rule as root/sudo. don't give users sudo access, problem solved. they got no internet access when on the box. | 16:34 |
| ddssc | iptable: i think I managed to kill it, somehow /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /usr/sbin/pam-auth-update --package refused to die with pkill. kill did kill it tho | 16:35 |
| iptable | ddssc: right, now try purge and then install | 16:36 |
| ddssc | iptable: nah thanks. I'll steer clear of that thing. I couldn't install anything else while I had this problem. thanks for your help man! | 16:37 |
| demophobia | So can Ubuntu 12.04 not handle Mac office files? Must they be converted to Windows Office? http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features/office-applications | 16:37 |
| iptable | ddssc: no problem. | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: arent they the same thing? | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | demophobia what happens when you try with libre office? | 16:37 |
| iptable | demophobia: please tell me what "Mac office file" is. I always believed mac used open document format. | 16:38 |
| demophobia | default response at the moment is to view the .numbers as a zip archive and try to open with archive manager; i'm trying to 'open with other application' now ... | 16:38 |
| demophobia | Apple spreadsheet is called Numbers and file extension is .numbers | 16:38 |
| demophobia | Apple word is called Pages and file extension is .pages | 16:38 |
| iptable | demophobia: that is just an extension association issue, which would exist. Try to open it with libreoffice, should work. | 16:38 |
| demophobia | apple presentation is called Keynote and I think uses .keynote, but i've rarely used it | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: what does the 'file' command say it is> | 16:39 |
| demophobia | i opened libreoffice calc and tried to open this file but it's wanting me to select some filter | 16:40 |
| demophobia | "Filter Selection" window with options, but i don't know which i should select | 16:40 |
| demophobia | or what a filter even is | 16:40 |
| iptable | demophobia: see ActionParsnip response. run: file /the/file.numbers | 16:40 |
| iptable | demophobia: also, when it opens the file with archive manager, you can see files inside? i.e. it's an archive. | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: have you considered using a more portable file type than something proprietary like Mac nonesense.... | 16:41 |
| demophobia | okay, i just did 'file' and the output: information for applications.numbers: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: try extracting it with unp | 16:42 |
| iptable | demophobia: then the numbers file is archive. extract and see what is inside. I would propose to save files using a more known format then proprietary and problem solved. | 16:42 |
| demophobia | yeah, seems it *is* a zip file -- has an XML file and other things ... seems easier for me at this point to try converting to XLSX and try again | 16:43 |
| mikubuntu | how do i install screenshot utility in lubuntu -- software center doesn't have one | 16:44 |
| iptable | demophobia: yes. Apple apparently uses iWork format, which is based on ODF, but different :/ Save in MAC using a .doc or .xls - more universal | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !info lxscreenshot | mikubuntu | 16:44 |
| demophobia | ok thank you | 16:44 |
| ubottu | mikubuntu: Package lxscreenshot does not exist in saucy | 16:44 |

| iptable | damn. ActionParsnip you are too fast :D | 16:45 |
| mikubuntu | ok guys thank yous | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | thought lxscreenshot was a thing | 16:45 |
| iptable | demophobia: well, long story of cos. but kinda | 16:46 |
| demophobia | cos = course? | 16:46 |
| iptable | demophobia: yes. stop laughing at my speech impediment :P | 16:47 |
| mikubuntu | iptable -- didn't appear in software center but i got it in synaptic | 16:47 |
| gennaro | Salve a tutti | 16:48 |
| demophobia | ;) okay, XLS works, thank you. LibreOffice Calc isn't as pretty as Apple Numbers '09 though. :( | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: why would you want pretty? | 16:50 |
| demophobia | ActionParsnip, I mean information is easier to find when my tables are listed in a column on the left side of the screen, rather than in a row of tabs at the bottom. easier to find = more efficient | 16:52 |
| demophobia | *names of tables | 16:52 |
| iptable | demophobia: I could say it the other way around. It's a matter of what you are used to. | 16:53 |
| iptable | demophobia: I believe Ms Office also has row of tabs at the bottom ;) | 16:54 |
| demophobia | yeah, which is why i started to like apple numbers '09 better ... but anyway, /offtopic i guess | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: i see what you mean | 16:55 |
| Minnen | hello, can someone guide me through the installation of a .tar.gz using the terminal | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | demophobia: you can have each in a window, then use the grid plugin (like in Mac OS) to show all windows running | 16:56 |
| ddssc | Minnen: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-open-a-tar-gz-file-in-linux-unix/ | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Minnen: what is in the archive, stating the file extension means nothing | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Minnen: how do you install a .zip in Window? It's meaningless | 16:56 |
| Minnen | e1000e-2.5.4.tar.gz | 16:57 |
| Minnen | thats the file | 16:57 |
| Minnen | lemme explain what i did so far and the error i had | 16:57 |
| Minnen | 1 - Run tar -xzf e1000e-2.5.4.tar.gz | 16:57 |
| user000 | I want to make simple reminder todo breaks :) I use cron for timing and zenity for popup box. I also need some sound, like "beep" or something. Is there any installed program that can do this ? I not really want use vlc... | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Minnen: the e1000e is in the default install | 16:57 |
| Minnen | Browse the path cd e1000e-2.5.4 | 16:58 |
| ddssc | altho nobody has really mastered the art of tar completely. it is prophesied that a nerd will come along who will understand how to use tar without having to google it every time. | 16:58 |

| Minnen | then ./configure and this output "command not found" | 16:58 |
| iptable | ddssc: I have. man tar | 16:58 |
| Minnen | then make and told me "no makefile found" | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | user000: aplay will play an audio track | 16:59 |
| Minnen | thats it | 16:59 |
| user000 | thanks Action ;) | 16:59 |
| Minnen | i think the problem originated in the cd part | 16:59 |
| iptable | Minnen: what IS in the tarball? also did you CD to the directory that got unzipped before executing those commands? also, e1000e driver is included in ubuntu I thought | 16:59 |
| domnic | hello | 17:00 |
| iptable | Minnen: you are not trying to install, but *compile" a package. why do you want to do that anyways? | 17:00 |
| Minnen | iptable > no i didnt not cd to the directory, in which step should i have done that | 17:00 |
| Minnen | iptable > to be able to install the pkg with make and make install after ./configure | 17:01 |
| iptable | Minnen: why are you trying to install that file? | 17:01 |
| iptable | Minnen: to achieve what that is? | 17:01 |
| Minnen | its my Ethernet driver | 17:01 |
| iptable | Minnen: e1000e driver is included in ubuntu. no need to install it. | 17:02 |

| iptable | demophobia: yes. on my keyboard, it's FN+F7, on my other, it's VolUp key. | 17:14 |
| demophobia | mine says only "Audio lower volume" and "Audio raise volume" for the keyboard shortcut ... I don't know what that implies. | 17:14 |

| iptable | JustSomeGuy: won't appear in users where? | 17:15 |
| JustSomeGuy | iptable, in the cli | 17:16 |

| iptable | mikubuntu: why do you say it's low? | 17:19 |
| JustSomeGuy | iptable, do you have a terminal open? because if you have the user will show that session | 17:19 |
| JustSomeGuy | argh | 17:19 |

| WACOMalt | can someone help me? I cant cd into /var/log/apache2/ even with sudo it says permission denied | 17:20 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: does /var/log/apache2 exist? if so, ls -l /var/log please | 17:20 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: you cannot sudo cd there. you would have to sudo -i (to go to root), and then cd in there. | 17:20 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: also, the directory itself needs execute bit set. otherwise you cannot enter it | 17:21 |
| WACOMalt | O_o | 17:21 |
| iptable | JustSomeGuy: works here | 17:21 |
| WACOMalt | why would a folder need execute? | 17:21 |
| WACOMalt | to even view it | 17:21 |
| WACOMalt | I dont get this... | 17:21 |
| llutz | WACOMalt: ls -ld /var/log/apache2 | 17:21 |
| JustSomeGuy | iptable, is there any way to debug something like that with lightdm? | 17:21 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: you cannot "view" a folder. you need to ENTER a directory to read it's contents. it's called "executing a directory". Without that bit, you cannot enter the dir. | 17:22 |
| WACOMalt | llutz, drwxr-x--- 2 root adm 4096 2014-01-26 06:46 /var/log/apache2 | 17:22 |
| WACOMalt | ah | 17:22 |
| WACOMalt | I never knew that | 17:22 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: so root user and adm group can both enter the dir. no one else can. you can do it as root | 17:22 |
| llutz | WACOMalt: so sudo less /var/log/apache2/file.you.want.to.see.log | 17:22 |
| WACOMalt | so why does sudo cd not work? | 17:22 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: you cannot do it as non-root user who is not part of adm group either. sudo cd would try to enter the dir as root and stay inside it as non-root | 17:23 |
| cyclist_2 | Hi, there! I am unble to run Clonezilla from inside a virtual machine [VBox]; I tried all 5 version [both Debian and Ubuntu kinds] all I cannot get past the first screen that merely starts Clonezilla; I md5sum-checked the iso files and they seem ok; any similar experiences? | 17:23 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: see the issue? | 17:23 |
| llutz | WACOMalt: sudo cd will return right back to your users $PWD, so you don't see the "cd" | 17:23 |

| WACOMalt | yeah I see a ton of access error logs and regular error logs | 17:24 |

| WACOMalt | yes | 17:25 |
| cyclist_2 | jhutchins: it's Oracle VM VirtualBox version 4.1 [I think]; but it runs other iso files ok; it is just Clonezilla that gives this problem | 17:25 |

| solofight | i have a dell machine which came with win8 UEFI... kindly help me in installing ubuntu 12 in it... when i put the ubuntu live disc in it,,, the laptop never boots from the cd..so i disabled the UEFI boot and selected legacy boot and selected the cd drive... after which the disc loads and the ubuntu desktop shows up... when i select install ubuntu - - it never identified win8 ! ! | 17:26 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: looks like your apache is misconfigured. look at config | 17:26 |
| mikubuntu | but hold on the damn dog is barking .. brb | 17:26 |
| iptable | mikubuntu: what do you mean "not rendering such". taskbar looks such | 17:27 |
| iptable | solofight: yeah. win8 wants uefi to boot btw. problem 1. | 17:27 |
| WACOMalt | iptable, apache2/apache2.conf says: ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log | 17:28 |
| WACOMalt | I'm suspecting EHCP is fudging something up here. God how I hate that software | 17:28 |
| solofight | iptable: so how should i handle it ? | 17:28 |
| jhutchins | cyclist_2: I think the issue is probably that clonezilla attempts to deal directly with storage hardware, and you don't have any in a VM. | 17:28 |
| iptable | WACOMalt: first, you got /etc/apache2/ - with a lot more stuff in there than just apache2.conf. Second, it not only errorlog you need, there are others defined. especially in sites-enabled | 17:29 |
| iptable | solofight: install ubuntu in UEFI mode. Install latest ubuntu desktop, try that. | 17:29 |

| iptable | MuttleyBlack: no, we cannot read you. | 17:30 |
| MuttleyBlack | hehe | 17:31 |
| cyclist_2 | jhutchins: but I have seen video tutorials on YouTube [I can get the links here if you wish to take a look for yourself; do let me know], where the user does exactly that; and he is also using Ubuntu | 17:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Just a friendly reminder to all - today is the absolute last day that Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) is supported. Tomorrow, we will tell you to upgrade to 13.10 (Saucy). | 17:32 |
| k-joseph | hi every one, i was reading some where that sudo passwd -l username is used to temporarily lock or unlock a user account using sudo passwd -u username, i run the first command and now when i run sudo su, my previous pasword fails and i fear to reboot thinking i may fail to login, any advise!!! | 17:32 |
| iptable | cyclist_2: does clonezilla have support to run under virtualbox? | 17:33 |
| daftykins | k-joseph: so you locked your only user account besides root on the system? | 17:33 |
| iptable | cyclist_2: clonezilla is in ubuntu repositories. why not start ubuntu desktop ISO and sudo aptitude install clonezilla | 17:34 |
| llutz | k-joseph: so you issued that command as the only sudo-user on the system without having a root shell opened? what did you expect to happen? | 17:34 |
| k-joseph | daftykins: but root also also fails to login with the previous password, llutz, what then is the way out? | 17:35 |
| iptable | k-joseph: boot into livecd, then all as root: mount your HDD root partition to /mnt/somewhere, then chroot /mnt/somewhere, then passwd youruser | 17:35 |
| llutz | k-joseph: boot into recovery mode and try to fix your useraccount or boot from live-media and chroot | 17:35 |
| daftykins | k-joseph: root doesn't have a password, unless you've overriden one... | 17:35 |
| WACOMalt | man, I should probably upgrade from 10.04... | 17:36 |
| Beldar | iptable, I use clonezilla with a bootable ISO on a usb it works when booted in vbox and any OS and partition type that it's website declares clone able | 17:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | WACOMalt: Yeah, you should. | 17:36 |
| daftykins | WACOMalt: yes, it's unsupported on the desktop | 17:36 |

| iptable | Michael5: openshot | 17:37 |
| daftykins | !chroot | k-joseph | 17:38 |
| ubottu | k-joseph: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 17:38 |
| WACOMalt | iptable, nah, the problem is EHCP | 17:38 |
| WACOMalt | it'd still be broken | 17:38 |
| cyclist_2 | iptable: I have never read all documentation, but since it is just an iso it should, at least load and work until it encounters a problem; but all it does is an error message from VBox about some 'critical error'; I am not even trying to really run it [since I have not the interest at the moment], but I would like to see it working, say, until it is time to choose the repository and the source devices; but never went beyond the first scree | 17:38 |
| iptable | k-joseph: boot from live cd, then sudo mkdir /mnt/dir; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/dir; sudo chroot /mnt/dir - then passwd youruser | 17:39 |
| cyclist_2 | iptable: I had not read you second comment; I will check the repository now! | 17:39 |
| iptable | k-joseph: this assumes /dev/sda1 is your root partition | 17:39 |
| iptable | cyclist_2: what IS your virtualbox version? | 17:39 |
| cyclist_2 | iptable: 4.1.30 | 17:41 |
| Beldar | cyclist_2, Does the vbox machine running work as of now, if so the .vdi the OS itself is insert-able in any vbox, a clone would only be needed when wanting ti increase the machines size really. | 17:42 |
| iptable | that is quite acceptable. and you booting it as an installer ISO mounted on the CD drive, right? like if you were going to install a distro? | 17:42 |

| iptable | rostam: clonezilla does a reasonable job. dd does a proper low-level job | 18:00 |
| Beldar | cyclist_2, You are convinced clonezilla should run, has not obviously, you might consider it will not for example. | 18:00 |

| worm` | Hi, I want to run a graphical application from the command line, here is the script I wrote: https://paste8.com/4XQiHrXZ - it's Ubuntu Server 12.04 + Unity. What I get is an error from xhost "unable to open display :0" and from the graphical application I want to use (Sikuli) "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.". I've tried using DISPLAY:=1 as I use this number when connecting with a VNC client but it doesn't wo | 18:00 |
| worm` | rk either... | 18:00 |
| * Beldar thinks the scientific method is needed | 18:01 | |
| whoever | iptable: ok, figured out why shotcyt keys wort working. in 13.04 before releaseing they made a quick fix that requred a logou/login every time you added a custom keyboard shortcut for it to take effect | 18:02 |
| cyclist_2 | rostam: based on what I saw in those video tutorials, the program is really good; my problem is that it's not working on my VBox [when it should], so I cannot say more than "watch the video tutorials and decide for yourself"; hope it helps; by the way: do you like the links to those video tutorials? just ask me | 18:02 |
| rostam | cyclist_2, iptable, my understanding is the installed image has mac address specific to that system. So how dd or clonezilla could avoid this issue? | 18:03 |
| linziyi | hi! | 18:04 |
| linziyi | just want to ask a question | 18:05 |
| linziyi | how to install ubuntu without CD or USB? | 18:05 |
| wollie88 | you dont | 18:05 |
| Beldar | linziyi, If you have grub you can boot an iso from the grub menu. | 18:05 |
| linziyi | I don't have grub2 | 18:06 |
| glitsj16 | worm`: is X running? | 18:06 |
| linziyi | I suppose grub does not support that feature? | 18:06 |
| Beldar | linziyi, grub legacy? What OS's are there now? | 18:06 |
| linziyi | gentoo | 18:07 |
| linziyi | and that's it | 18:07 |
| Beldar | linziyi, I have only seen wiki's for a grub2 iso boot, also be sure to use nicks here you can tab complete them. | 18:07 |
| cyclist_2 | rostam: from what I have seen, Clonezilla works with all major OSs, including Macs | 18:07 |
| addiks__ | linziyi: is it an EFI computer? If so, you could try installing rEFInd, writing the iso in its own partition (as data, not as file) and boot that partition using rEFInd. | 18:08 |
| linziyi | Beldar: I used to do it with simply | 18:08 |
| linziyi | kernel /vmlinuz | 18:08 |
| === bfiller_afk is now known as bfiller | ||
| linziyi | initrd /initrd.xz | 18:08 |
| linziyi | that seemed to work until the newer versions of ubuntu | 18:09 |
| llutz | linziyi: use debootstrap | 18:09 |
| worm` | glitsj16, I think so: https://paste8.com/HvhlT6vO | 18:09 |
| Beldar | linziyi, Do you have any tools like a live disc of something to fix any problems that might arise? | 18:10 |
| linziyi | i have puppy linux | 18:10 |
| linziyi | thanks llutz I am looking into it! | 18:11 |
| WACOMalt | found my issue. ehcp had a config for a domain, the log folder for it was missing | 18:11 |
| Beldar | linziyi, Cool, puppy could fix any grub issue that happen. | 18:11 |
| worm` | glitsj16, maybe you prefer this check: https://paste8.com/0OhcBmfB | 18:11 |
| linziyi | I am installing ubuntu just for the android adb... | 18:12 |
| glitsj16 | worm`: these days you use lightdm (or gdm, kdm) to start X, so i'd try to kill what's there but unreachable with "sudo killall X" and then "sudo service lightdm start" | 18:12 |
| Beldar | linziyi, Could you use a virtual maybe? | 18:12 |
| linziyi | too much of a mess trying to do that in gentoo I afraid | 18:13 |
| linziyi | The emulator things get everying scramble up (espcially the dependencies) in gentoo Beldar | 18:13 |
| Beldar | linziyi, Heh, understandable, I assume you built the gentoo, so you would know. | 18:14 |
| linziyi | so how do people install ubuntu nowadays, use unetbootin in windows? | 18:15 |
| Beldar | linziyi, Some do, there are handfulls of usb loaders that are windows and or linux compatible. | 18:15 |
| Beldar | and apple | 18:16 |
| worm` | glitsj16, what do I kill precisely? because it says "X: no such process" | 18:18 |
| craigbass1976 | In XP, I can set some Java options in Control Panel. Where is something that looks anything like that in Ubuntu? I'm using Sun java, not open java | 18:18 |
| daftykins | craigbass1976: there's probably some documentation on Oracle's site about that | 18:19 |
| glitsj16 | worm`: nothing, X wasn't running if you get that, proceed with "sudo service lightdm start" and then test your script | 18:19 |
| === geochr is now known as Guest44145 | ||

| gregf_ | hello, is there someway to fix this issue manually please: openssh-server : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.16) but 2.15-0ubuntu20.2 is to be installed | 18:30 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | evilbug, Yes. I've heard a lot bout it. But it's just hearsay.. | 18:30 |
| cyclist_2 | Beldar: I am back; here it is: the Ubuntu Rescue Remix iso ***does*** load [unlike Clonezilla] and ***does*** work; alas, it is command line only and I would have to learn to use those tools first; another thing is that Clonezilla is not included; here is their list: GNU ddrescue, Photorec, The Sleuth Kit and Gnu-fdisk. Packages new to the Rescue Remix include aoetools, array-info, ext3-grep, gptsync, kpartx, and scrounge-ntfs. But your | 18:31 |
| gregf_ | i can fix the deps manually rather than depending on the repo's :/ | 18:31 |
| worm` | glitsj16, yes I got /root/.Xauthority I need to append an entry for my regular user right? | 18:31 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | So I'm here to ask y'all. Cuz you guys use it day in and day out! | 18:31 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | :3 | 18:31 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | evilbug, So ubuntu or some light weight derivative of it? o.o | 18:32 |
| evilbug | WeirdEnthusiast: i actually don't use it in and out but i'm looking to set up a dedicated dev computer with ubuntu as the main os. since it's one of the most popular distros you're pretty safe in terms of software and hardware compatibility. | 18:32 |
| glitsj16 | worm`: check if your regular user still owns his .Xauthority file and remove the one for root | 18:32 |

| WeirdEnthusiast | evilbug, Interesting. I won't get arch only cuz it's way too bleeding edge for my needs. As a server which is.. | 18:33 |
| worm` | glitsj16, there is no .Xauthority for my regular user I'm afraid | 18:33 |
| Beldar | cyclist_2, Ah, I forget all of the repair discs out there but there is one that has clonezilla on board this one as I remember runs in ram, you can remove the boot media | 18:33 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | Haha. Word. | 18:33 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | I did not like it too. | 18:33 |
| WeirdEnthusiast | ;D | 18:33 |
| evilbug | WeirdEnthusiast: you can't go wrong with ubuntu. some people prefer fedora as well since it's spawned from red hat. | 18:33 |
| glitsj16 | worm`: well, copy the one from root to the user /home and make him own it, use the chown command | 18:34 |
| cpd | ??? | 18:34 |
| cpd | ??? | 18:34 |
| glitsj16 | worm`: sudo chown $USER:$USER $HOME/.Xauthority | 18:35 |

| Wiz_KeeD | created a new dir with sudo named caddy | 19:03 |
| xangua | !info lo-menubar precise | demophobia | 19:03 |
| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: so the line may appear as "UUID=blah /mnt/caddy ntfs rw,user 0 0" | 19:03 |
| ubottu | demophobia: lo-menubar (source: lo-menubar): A LibreOffice extension for the global menubar. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.0-0ubuntu4 (precise), package size 37 kB, installed size 144 kB | 19:03 |
| Wiz_KeeD | now back to fstab UUID=51DDB6994E6674F0 /mnt/caddy ntfs | 19:04 |

| worm` | how do I specify a service command in /etc/sudoers? I always get syntax error with something like this: myuser ALL = NOPASSWD: service lightdm * | 19:04 |
| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: yep, with the comma though | 19:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | how so? nothing in fstab has comma | 19:04 |
| bekks | worm`: you cant specify a command with options. All that sudo is applied on is the command itself. | 19:04 |
| daftykins | yes it does | 19:04 |
| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: it's because we want multiple options in the options field | 19:04 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ahh okay okay makes sense | 19:05 |
| bekks | worm`: You could create a workaround: create a root script which executes the service lightdm * stuff, and create a sudo permission for that single script. | 19:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | no space between comma I see | 19:05 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so what are those options more exactly daftykins ? | 19:05 |
| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: yep, i'd read up on them with the man pages for fstab as they'll explain better | 19:05 |
| daftykins | ultimately read+write permissions, allow 'user' to mount | 19:06 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ahhh yes I see now | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ok, great! | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | save and reboot? | 19:07 |
| worm` | bekks, ok then which one should I specify /usr/bin/service or /usr/sbin/service or /usr/bin/X11/service | 19:07 |
| bekks | worm`: run "which service" to see which "service" executable is being called. | 19:07 |
| Wiz_KeeD | sudo mount -a | 19:08 |

| oddeofreq | when i open it, it will not do anything | 19:21 |

| Wiz_KeeD | daftykins, you said that it's not a good idea to have the drive ntfs so both OS's can access it? | 19:26 |
| Beldar | dbrom, You can tab complete nicks so there are correct, so to the channel not me include that info with your problem is all. | 19:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Purely for storage purposes as I said | 19:27 |
| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: well it's probably the best scenario for what you want to do | 19:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | that's what I wanted to hear :X | 19:27 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Allthough I could make it ext4 and use the win dirvers to access it | 19:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | But I don't know the speed or stability from windows | 19:28 |
| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: exFAT might also be an option | 19:28 |

| daftykins | Wiz_KeeD: i think how you have it now is better than Windows and ext drivers | 19:28 |
| Beldar | oddeofreq, You would want to pastebin the errors, is this a persistent usb or just the live session? | 19:28 |
| Wiz_KeeD | probably, glad I made a good choice | 19:28 |

| yebyen | I think I better create a fresh trustytahr install | 19:30 |
| Beldar | oddeofreq, Right, however a limited use setup. Do you know what persistent means with the iso load to the usb? | 19:31 |
| oddeofreq | beldar, it has been too long for me. i thought persistant means that i can make changes on the USB while i am live on it. | 19:32 |

| yebyen | sure, works for me | 20:05 |
| yebyen | i don't think you need xhost +localhost: | 20:05 |
| === jordan_ is now known as jordan | ||
| yebyen | you don't have permission to access lightdm's x server anyway | 20:06 |
| yebyen | so xhost + will fail | 20:06 |
| yebyen | you could startx -- :1 to get your own x server | 20:06 |
| yebyen | then xhost + would be unnecessary, just DISPLAY=:1 | 20:06 |
| yebyen | worm`: you can see xhost: unable to open | 20:07 |
| yebyen | it's not getting permissions because it doesn't have permissions (to begin with) | 20:07 |
| worm` | yebyen, I tried with DISPLAY:=1 and startx -- :1 in the script but I get X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. | 20:09 |

| yebyen | worm`: your cron script won't be able to startx | 20:11 |
| yebyen | unless you decrease some of the restrictions on that stuff | 20:12 |
| yebyen | i don't remember which package needs to be dpkg-reconfigured | 20:13 |
| yebyen | but something has an option for three levels of restrictedness | 20:13 |
| yebyen | and the one you currently have set is probably "anyone with a real tty" | 20:13 |
| yebyen | which excludes cron user, etc | 20:13 |
| worm` | yebyen, I just remember having installed the ubuntu-desktop package | 20:14 |
| yebyen | so, start with a real tty, logged in from getty | 20:14 |
| yebyen | do startx :1 | 20:14 |
| yebyen | and work backwards from there, once your script works from cron as that user | 20:15 |
| yebyen | (with the x server already running) | 20:15 |
| yebyen | it might be xserver-xorg or xserver-xorg-core | 20:15 |
| yebyen | could be xinit | 20:15 |
| holmser | I have a bit of an issue here, and I was hoping to get some input. I have a "root" account that I need to secure. Currently we are using ssh cert based authentication | 20:15 |
| worm` | I'm not familiar with getty, I connect to my server using ssh or a VNC client if I want the GUI | 20:16 |
| yebyen | doesn't seem to be any of those | 20:16 |
| yebyen | when you ctrl+alt+f1, you're at a getty login | 20:16 |
| yebyen | from the actual physical console | 20:16 |
| yebyen | if you don't have console access, there's a setting you need to change to enable you to start an x server | 20:16 |
| holmser | Basically our password policy dictates that passwords need to change every 60 days, so they want me to change the key every 60 days. | 20:17 |
| worm` | yes I remember from the days I used ubuntu on my personal desktop but this is a VM | 20:17 |

Because there are 2 recovery partitions following on from the Windows partition, we have to shrink the current Windows partition to make space, so it makes the dance we did last week a little more complicated (if that is possible) since we can't just make a back-up at the end of the drive | 20:59 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Once you've got it started in "Try Ubuntu" mode, and got to the desktop, please start a Terminal window so we have a command-line shell to work from. | 21:00 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: And, tell me if that Ubuntu live environment has Internet connectivity by trying to web-browse to some site | 21:00 |

| rcrobot | Hi, can someone help me update my Gigabyte mobo's BIOS? | 21:02 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: so at the Ubuntu screen choose: Try ubuntu or install, or F4 or f6? | 21:02 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Not longer, since you're now practised and know what to expect, but the maths needs to be very accurate to avoid over-writing the pre-installed contents of the disk | 21:02 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: "Try Ubuntu" | 21:03 |

| rustuptwist | TJ-: so not 30 mins but much longer | 21:03 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: If Ubuntu will have Internet connectivity then we can have you use the 'xchat' program directly from the PC, which would make the operation more streamlined since you can copy/paste the instructions | 21:04 |
| === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW | ||
| rustuptwist | TJ-: it can at the very least from my phone, but I am concerned. Why do these web pages make it seem so easy to partition and install Ubuntu? is it because the lpatop in question was manf by HP to thwart Ubuntu installs? | 21:05 |

| TJ- | rustuptwist: The problem is the way HP have partitioned the drives. The Master Boot Record can only hold 4 partitions, and HP have filled all 4 slots, so we have to shuffle things around to make it possible to create an Extended partition on one of those 4 slots | 21:07 |

| shreezbot | How do I change applications that startup when my machine starts up from the command line? | 21:14 |

| Fily | Dear friends, I have a problem. I downloaded Virtual Box and Ubuntu 14.04 ISO AMD 64 and attached it on vbox. My laptop cannot support that release. I cannot install it. So I think I cannot test new version... I bought my laptop in 2007. What do you think about? | 21:26 |
| TJ- | shreezbot: Are you trying to remove a link? | 21:27 |
| kieppie | MonkeyDust: still nothing there that blows my hair back. Gnome commander looks to be best of the crop | 21:27 |
| shreezbot | TJ-, No, just add one | 21:27 |
| Rory | Fily: Try the 32 bit version =) | 21:27 |
| shreezbot | TJ-, Well, I just want the application to start up when I reboot. | 21:27 |
| TJ- | shreezbot: The "update-rc.d enable $SERVICE" should be sufficient, if the script already exists in "/etc/init.d/" | 21:28 |

| da_police | TJ: why? | 21:40 |

| Azrael84 | Hi, anyone know how I can change the driver options for intel when using fglrx? (i.e. AccelMethod) | 21:40 |

| da_police | TJ- no, its gone already, no service using it nor replace it | 21:41 |
| TJ- | da_police: I was hoping you could grab it from /proc/*/fd/* before it was fully unlinked | 21:43 |
| TJ- | da_police: just in case, you should do "sudo ls -l /proc/*/fd/* | grep $FILENAME" where FILENAME="<part-of-name-of-deleted-file>" | 21:44 |
| Hakala | fak | 21:44 |
| da_police | yes tj, the file is totally deleted already | 21:45 |
| TJ- | da_police: hmmm, not sure how to proceed then. I'd recommend unmounting the file-system or at least remounting it read-only, and you could investigate whether "photorec" can recover deleted reiserfs files | 21:46 |
| TJ- | da_police: have you read this? http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/ReiserFS_File_Undelete_HOWTO | 21:47 |
| da_police | i did tj, the thing is, it said i have to do single-user.. which i only able to do it remotely (since it need to umount), and it need a big space to mirror the "/var" | 21:48 |
| Fily | Rory, I tried with the i386 release but i obtained the same result | 21:48 |
| TJ- | da_police: Well yes, that is generally a requirement, you can't go about recovering lost data from free blocks if the file-system is being written to, those blocks may well get reused | 21:49 |
| TJ- | da_police: do you not have remote console access via net-KVM or IPMI, or some other console provision ? | 21:49 |
| jhutchins | Fily: It's not entirely clear what you're trying to do - what OS is on the laptop now? | 21:49 |

| Oobii | The more stuff you have on your laptop (music, pictures, documents) does it make your laptop heavier?? | 23:11 |
| PoolShark_ | TJ-: oka... well I need to dig into the documentation, but the cursory summary doesn't seem to indicate it can do policies based on HTML content... we'll see | 23:11 |

| mlody | I hibernate my windows 7 and enter to Xubuntu. I edit grub using Grub Customizer after restart i dont have windows 7 on grub. I was try grub update but not not see my windows but osprobe see | 23:12 |
| TJ- | PoolShark_: You can mark packets as they enter netfilters from a process and then use a routing policy later to send them out over the required interface | 23:12 |

| mlody | some one now how to add windows i need enter documents | 23:12 |
| bob876 | I'm going to try reproducing the reboot event | 23:12 |
| TJ- | PoolShark_: You'll need to do deep packet inspection if the router isn't the originator of the traffic, or else route based on destination hosts | 23:13 |

| ff29 | so i have a few questions about installing amd graphics drivers anyone able to help? | 23:13 |
| KurtKraut | I've purchased a Asus Vivobook notebook with Windows 8. I'm struggling to make it boot to Ubuntu I've managed to install. All instructions I find online tells to set to off any UEFI or 'secure boot' or 'fast boot' option. But in the BIOS there is no option related to that. Did I purchased a computer that is impossible to use Linux with it? | 23:14 |
| skinux | Are applications under /opt/ supposed to be owned by root specifically? | 23:14 |
| TJ- | sudonoob: Your system is using the Intel i915 video driver, so OpenGL support can be problematic at best | 23:15 |
| sudonoooob2 | http://pastebin.com/9NpkDuvk for the first | 23:16 |
| fulanito | hi | 23:16 |
| fulanito | can anyone help me to add a route in linux 10.04? | 23:16 |
| nicko_94 | KurtKraut: It depends on the version you installed. It has to be the last one. If not, you'll need to configure your bios to legacy mode (not UEFI one) | 23:16 |
| Bashing-om | KurtKraut: I think I have seen where ASus is tough.. might take a search on ubuntuforums on some hints to get ubuntu installed. | 23:16 |
| genii | skinux: Not necessarily. If you had /opt/new-email-server /file.bin for instance, the dir "new-email-server" could be owned by whatever user might be allowed to be one which runs the binaries under that | 23:17 |
| fulanito | route add -host 7.1.4.42 gw 172.16.2.5 dev eth0 | 23:17 |
| KurtKraut | nicko_94, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 | 23:17 |
| fulanito | root@ws1:~# route add -host 7.1.4.42 gw 172.16.2.5 dev eth0 | 23:17 |
| fulanito | SIOCADDRT: No such process | 23:17 |
| fulanito | any idea why I get this reponse? | 23:17 |
| sudonoooob2 | Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/4D0AYY7Q | 23:17 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoooob2: looking | 23:17 |
| TJ- | fulanito: Try prefixing the command with "sudo " | 23:18 |
| fulanito | I am as a root | 23:18 |
| fulanito | user | 23:18 |
| PoolShark_ | actually I might be able to do this much more easily with squid | 23:18 |
| genii | TJ-: I thought you would have seen the hashmark prompt ;) | 23:18 |
| PoolShark_ | send everything from squid out the fast WAN, and just tell squid not to proxy the mime types of the content I want going out the DSL | 23:18 |
| fulanito | <TJ->: root@ws1:~# sudo route add -host 7.1.4.42 gw 172.16.2.5 dev eth0 | 23:19 |
| fulanito | SIOCADDRT: No such process | 23:19 |
| TJ- | PoolShark_: Yes, for HTTP not HTTPS, you could. HTTPS is a bit more complicated | 23:19 |
| fulanito | I still get no response | 23:19 |
| nicko_94 | KurtKraut: do you know how to get to the bios settings? There should be an option to boot csm mode only. It is a different name for the legacy mode. | 23:19 |
| TJ- | fulanito: genii: yeah, not reading closely enough | 23:19 |
| PoolShark_ | what's the issue with HTTPS? | 23:19 |
| KurtKraut | nicko_94, Yes, I do know how to get to the BIOS settings and there is no mention to CSM at all. It is driving me crazy :/ | 23:20 |
| TJ- | fulanito: the reason is, 7.1.4.42 isn't in the 172.16.2.5 network | 23:20 |
| bob876 | I'm back. I can reproduce the reboot issue at will. I can't find anything interesting in the logs but if you would like to look, here is /var/log/dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6829034/ and /var/log/kern.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6829036/ | 23:20 |
| TJ- | PoolShark_: errr... its encrypted, so you can't cache it, can't even see what host it is requesting, you can only see the destination IP | 23:20 |
| PoolShark_ | TJ-: true point there... | 23:21 |
| TJ- | bob876: "mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged" MCE == Machine Check Event" | 23:21 |
| nicko_94 | KurtKraut: it is, but it's not as easy as it should. I did this some tome ago. Let me check a few things and I'll tell you how to find it | 23:22 |
| KurtKraut | nicko_94, thank you in advance! | 23:23 |
| TJ- | bob876: Run the mcelog daemon and then trigger the event, "sudo mcelog --daemon --syslog" ... you *should* get some more useful output in "/var/log/syslog" or "/var/log/kern.log" | 23:23 |

| bob876 | Ok, here I go! | 23:24 |
| PoolShark_ | hrmm | 23:24 |
| mlody | Can some one help me? | 23:25 |
| nicko_94 | mlody: be more specific, pls | 23:25 |
| jhutchins | mlody: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? | 23:25 |
| fulanito | where are the ip routes stored in linux/ | 23:26 |
| fulanito | ?? | 23:26 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoooob2: I "think" the Brookdale driver should support unity, we'll try to get the desktop back the quick and easy way: | 23:27 |
| TJ- | fulanito: In the routing tables | 23:27 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoooob2: Code:sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop ; re-install the desktop. | 23:28 |
| sudonoob | Bashing-om: Excellent, just let me know what to do | 23:28 |
| nicko_94 | KurtKraut: You have to go to the bios settings, find the "boot" tab, and enable the Launch CSM option. Please try that and, if it doesn't work, come back | 23:28 |
| mlody | I was try change default kernel run on grub using Grub Customizer. After save change restart pc on grub i can't see windows i was try this http://pastebin.com/WLfnaM8h . How to add windows again? Now my windows is Hibernate | 23:28 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: Code:sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:28 |
| ff29 | so if i am having issues with installing amd drivers, i now have no screen | 23:30 |
| nicko_94 | mlody: did you try the SuperGRUB2 Disk? | 23:30 |
| ff29 | and it appearst fglrx is all sorts of screwed | 23:30 |
| ff29 | i try to do a apt-get install -f which fails and points me to | 23:30 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: and now reboot and let's see what there is. | 23:31 |
| ff29 | .fglrx_2%3a13.101-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb | 23:31 |
| KurtKraut | nicko_94, There is a boot tab but doesn't have anything mentioning 'CSM' | 23:31 |
| sudonoob | bashing-om: Done that and says setting up ununtu | 23:31 |
| sudonoob | rebooting | 23:31 |
| ff29 | saying theres an error... would it be bad to delete said file? | 23:31 |
| mlody | nicko_94 no i dont have flash data and clear CD but i need take documents from windows | 23:31 |
| sammy | what's everyone's favorite mirror for the southwestern US? I can't find anything giving me more than 100-200kpbs :( | 23:31 |
| sudonoob | Bashing-om: Still no dash... | 23:32 |
| nicko_94 | mlody: you don't really need it. You can use uNetbootin to install it to a partition in your HDD | 23:32 |
| sammy | maybe its just daytime and everything is innundated but univ of utah, uc davis, kernel.org, a few others were just so slooooooow and the saucy upgrade has 1.2gb to download | 23:33 |
| kev999 | anyone online who can help with ubuntu 12.04lts setup for dns - I used to put entried in resolv.conf - but this has changed | 23:33 |
| nicko_94 | KurtKraut: mmm...can you take a pic of the options that it shows? It's really difficult to help with so less information | 23:34 |
| TJ- | sammy: that sounds more like you have a local router being overwhelmed | 23:34 |
| mlody | nicko_94 uNetbootin dont need cd or USB? | 23:34 |
| kev999 | I want my server to resolve requests from other computers on my lan | 23:34 |
| sammy | TJ-: I can consistently snag 600k from speedtest.net and torrents rn. I am out in the boonies, but I should be able to average 500k+, where the mirrors Ive chosen so far were topping out around 100 | 23:35 |
| nicko_94 | mlody: Nope. It can be installed in USB or HDD. Just be sure to select the right iso image, and the right HDD partition. | 23:35 |
| sammy | maybe I just need to keep going through the list. I'm tempted to try the mirrors.ubuntu.com which does some geolocation based on the requesting IP to do round robin DNS or some sort? | 23:36 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: not looking good, let's try ->sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop ; sudo apt-get install unity . | 23:36 |
| TJ- | sammy: that might help, unless you've got an ISP doing some kind of traffic-shaping for such things | 23:37 |
| bob876 | Ok, I ran the daemon for logging and reproduced the crash. Here is /var/log/syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/6829109/ and /var/log/dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6829111/ | 23:37 |
| sammy | TJ-: i sure hope not. let's see how the mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt deb line works... | 23:38 |
| sudonoob | Unity is already the newest version | 23:38 |
| JaneDoe | where can i set the "focus follows mouse" in gnome-shell 3.8.4? | 23:38 |
| skinux | What is the right way to convert a PNG to an XPM icon? | 23:39 |
| kev999 | bye | 23:39 |
| kev999 | quit | 23:39 |
| TJ- | bob876: Unfortunately, the MCE is too severe so mcelog isn't able to write to a log before the system resets | 23:39 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: and still no launcher on let of screen, even when slamming the mouse against that lft edge ?? | 23:39 |
| skinux | I thought simply exporting to XPM format would be sufficient. However, that only seems to be exporting a black gradient background. | 23:39 |
| TJ- | bob876: what do you do, to reproduce the issue? | 23:40 |
| sudonoob | Bashing-om: Nothing mate. Not even the clock | 23:40 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: *left | 23:40 |
| TJ- | sudonoob: Have you tried using the Guest log-in, or creating a new user profile? | 23:41 |
| sudonoob | Bashing-om: tried that too. I have an untitled folder on desktop. Let me log in as guest | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: Now that aint making a lot of sense to me for that outcome, let's see what -> sudo dkpg-reconfigure unity <- does. | 23:42 |
| bob876 | TJ: I visit this website http://cardsagainsthumanity.com/holidaystats/ and scroll down to around 1/5th of the page. Then it reboots. | 23:42 |
| Boreeas | Is there a way to pass compiler flags to make via the command line? | 23:43 |
| TJ- | bob876: I do notice in the log "pci 0000:00:1f.0: address space collision: [io 0x1000-0x107f] conflicts with ACPI CPU throttle [??? 0x00001010-0x00001015 flags 0x80000000]" ... if the CPU throttle control is inactive, then I can imagine that any processor intensive task could cause the CPU to overheat | 23:43 |

But when I have those drivers installed, X crashes (I don't think it left a record in Xorg.0.log) after I return my computer from sleep mode in a number of times (I haven't tried reproducing it but it happens more than once). | 23:55 |

| viderbit | sry about this question, but is there anyone that can connect to this irc server - efnet.xs4all.nl | 23:55 |
| Bashing-om | sudonoob: ubuntu/unity likes 2 gigs of ram,, how much are you sporting ? | 23:55 |
| TJ- | bob876: That might correlate with my thought the CPU has to shutdown ... without the nvidia driver more of the graphics rendering will be done in the CPU, making it hotter. | 23:56 |

| bob876 | TJ: Yup. Good reasoning! I'll try reproducing the issue from the nvidia driver. Is there anything I should to prepare for the crash or what I should look at after it? | 23:59 |
| sudormrf | funky, something that doesn't go down all the time. gmail is a no go. thought about icloud, but I wouldn't want them to obsolete the site in a couple of years and have to deal with a mail address change and what not. | 23:59 |
