[00:00] "sudo: gdisk: command not found" [00:00] bmccoy11: /dev/sda oringinally had a gpt partition, but when windows was installed, it never removed the old gpt table and just wrote a mbr table. Now when ubuntu sees it , its reading the old gpt table over the mbr table. [00:01] bmccoy11: to fix this there's a tool call fixparts. [00:01] So, how do I fix it? [00:01] Does it delete anything important? [00:01] bmccoy11: it just deletes the old gpt table [00:01] Ahh, okay. [00:01] Tell me the commands to run. [00:02] bmccoy11: sudo apt-get install gdisk [00:02] Okay [00:03] bmccoy11: sudo fixparts /dev/sda [00:03] hey === jonathon is now known as Guest20143 [00:03] Done. [00:03] Reboot now? [00:04] bmccoy11: did you run fixparts /dev/sda ? [00:04] Yes. [00:04] how to create full ubuntu distribution without livecd? [00:04] bmccoy11: and chose [Y] then [w] [00:04] ? [00:04] I typed in "Y" [00:04] ASAP [00:05] how to create full ubuntu distribution without livecd? [00:05] "This will overwrite existing partitions"? [00:05] bmccoy11: can you rerun: sudo fdisk -l [00:05] Will it wipe anything? [00:05] I mean, gdisk w. [00:06] bmccoy11: fdisk no. rerun: sudo fdisk -l see if you get any errors [00:06] No need to run gdisk w? [00:06] if you're still in the menu then yes [00:07] Will it wipe anything? [00:07] bmccoy11: it will erase the olf gpt table [00:07] old* [00:07] . [00:07] So, Windows will still boot, right? [00:08] Sorry about asking all these questions, I'm a noob. [00:08] bmccoy11: to be sure: use p and copy + paste the terminal to paste.ubuntu.com [00:08] Hello ubuntu-ers. I'm on Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 and I'm having problems with audio(yes, I actually need to set up audio on a server). Looks like a permission problem to me, users don't seem to have permissions to use audio devices, I can only run audio applications sudoing them, otherwise it produces errors. Any hints? === WebbyIT is now known as rpadovani [00:09] Will it wipe Windows? [00:09] bmccoy11: no [00:09] Oh. Derp [00:09] Okay [00:09] ncom0pl, adding users in group "audio"? [00:09] ncom0pl: look at the device file permissions and the groups the users are in === rpadovani is now known as WebbyIT [00:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835051/ [00:11] anyone getting perl dependency issues when you try and install git on 12.10? [00:11] bmccoy11: and no error this time about gpt? [00:11] vladis: ikonia: Thanks, adding to 'audio' group did it. [00:11] Nope [00:11] ekristen: have you got any 3rd party repos enabled ? [00:11] ekristen: or ppa's [00:12] whoa [00:12] just universe and chris-lea/node.js [00:12] ekristen: it's possible that's causing the dependency problems depending on what it's installed [00:12] ekristen: also clear your apt cache and re-run apt-get update to get a current cache [00:13] ekristen: check if the dependency it's looking for is actually in the core repos [00:13] bmccoy11: sweet. ok. now go back into. ok. now the installer should be able to see the partition table and ofc see windows then. best to downsize the windows partition in windows via administrative tools -> disk management before running the installer [00:13] Rebooting into the Live USB now. [00:13] ikonia: I did that, it might be the 12.10 image I’m using I suppose [00:14] erikj: 12.10 image ? what are you talking about [00:14] Can I shrink the partition from the installer? [00:14] is ifconfig something I shouldn't show to just anyone? [00:14] DarkAceXtreme: up to you [00:14] if they already know my internet IP [00:14] DarkAceXtreme: up to you [00:14] ./whois [00:15] yeah [00:15] lol [00:15] I'm asking if it's a bad idea [00:15] DarkAceXtreme: it's up to you [00:15] because I don't know if it is [00:15] DarkAceXtreme: it's your data [00:15] Not really, but it's your choice. [00:15] . [00:16] I mean, the worst thing that can happen is someone trolls you by sending a WOL packet. [00:16] I'm having some trouble with SAMBA [00:16] I'm trying to set it up so I can see workgroups from the file manager, open the workgroup, see shares, and open them [00:17] It worked, hitsujiTMO! [00:17] Thanks! [00:17] DarkAceXtreme: On a home system the only thing I can think of that they might find from ifconfig that's relevant to your security is whether or not you're using NAT, and the solution to that is to just make sure that you are using NAT (which 99.9% of home routers do by default). [00:17] And while I've partially accomplished this, it only manages to load like 20% of the time [00:17] most of the time it doesn't even see the workgroups [00:17] bmccoy11: sweeet. best to shrink the partition in windows. better to stick with the native tools when dealing with ntfs [00:17] And then when it does, most of the time I can't actually load the workgrop and see shares [00:18] Meh, I'm not that worried. [00:18] and then when that works, I almost never actually manage to get any computers open [00:18] any help? [00:18] The worst thing that happens is I have to reinstall Windoze 8. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:19] bmccoy11: hitsujiTMO: I disagree, I think that ntfsresize is as reliable if not more so than Windows' own tools, and letting Ubuntu's installer do the resizing leaves less room for user error and is thus safer. [00:20] I have an atribute that has date and time for example "Jan. 28, 2015, 4:43 pm" and I need to get the time only in a different attribute, whenever I try to use the split function it gives me an error'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'split' [00:20] I agree with Jordan_U. [00:21] They both should be equally reliable. [00:21] Hey! [00:22] Hai. [00:23] Should I delete my Windows 7 partition? Should I? [00:24] Well [00:24] Should you? [00:24] Do you want to? [00:25] If you want a fresh install, yes, delete it. [00:27] nothing on a drive should be let to inhibit a fresh install [00:27] ^^^ [00:27] I assume he is trying to make a fresh install. [00:29] >waiting for ubuntu to install, queue the cricket noises [00:29] http://bmccoy.cf/sounds/crickets.mp3 [00:31] No I want to delete Windows because I don't use it. I used to game on Windows but I can game on xubuntu now so... [00:31] Does Ubuntu automatically configure drivers on install for my AMD built-in-chipset, or do I need to install it myself? [00:32] zedzdead: Delete the partition, for sure. [00:32] bmccoy11: chipset support is built into the kernel [00:32] Okay. [00:32] So, no need to install a proprietary driver? [00:33] I want to use this PC for Minecraft, so I need the right drivers installed. [00:34] bmccoy11: nope. only propritary drivers you may ever need are typically just gpu in you're gaming or using gpu intensive work. but the open drivers are always catchinp up to then so they're becoming less and less necessary [00:34] Okay. [00:35] sorry, can I ask one specific question about the IRC servers here? [00:35] Well, the Microsoft driver that comes with Windows is shit. [00:35] bmccoy11: for minecraft id test on the open driver first and then try the propritary [00:35] bmccoy11: Please keep the language clean [00:35] viderbit: you may be better off asking in #freenode [00:35] Launching minecraft should be a good enough way to test it. [00:35] Sorry. [00:37] If I have a desktop and a laptop and I just want to be able to ssh between them both over the network. Is it just to install ssh on them both and not open port 22 on my router? i.e I do not want the computers to be accessable from Internet. Only from inside my network [00:38] I have a problem. [00:40] Which version(32bit, 64bit) of ubuntu install on the my macbook? [00:41] How can I change the Ubuntu boot loader (GRUB) to Windows 8's boot selector? [00:41] I like the looks of the Windows 8 selection tool. [00:42] bmccoy11: http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ is prob the easiest way to achieve that [00:42] Okay. [00:42] Thanks. [00:43] hello everybody [00:43] MarGul: You probably don't need to change anything on your router, most routers don't block ports within the LAN. [00:44] Please help. [00:44] Jordan_U: Thanks, do I need to have a static IP address on both my laptop and my desktop [00:45] Which version of ubuntu I use? === ariscop_ is now known as ariscop [00:45] prepangolin: 64bir for a mac [00:45] Or will it work with the ones the the router gives me? Because it really never changes, guess I should just set up static ip anyways. Easier [00:46] My Macbook is Core duo? [00:46] prepangolin: still 64bit [00:46] Is it right for it? [00:46] hey does anyone know a quick way to download files from a website when you get the directory tree? [00:46] yup [00:47] Oh thanks guy. [00:48] olabaz: http://blog.spang.cc/posts/downloading_a_directory_via_HTTP_with_wget/ [00:48] hitsujiTMO: ty I knew it was possible. I love you [00:49] ...small problem. EasyBCD doesn't work with Windows 8 professional. [00:50] why is wireless so annoying in linux? [00:50] bmccoy11: ahh, then you're out of luck till they update. its possible but its a rather dangerous task [00:50] :/ [00:50] >thepiratebay [00:50] is there a usb 802.11ac card that works in linux? [00:51] bmccoy11: You can theme grub to look nicer, like http://apebox.org/wordpress/linux/261/ [00:52] nah, I'll just install the cracked version for now, as I'm not using it for business purposes. [00:52] I am having an issue with either my graphics driver or X config. My display is over saturated with green and displaying the wrong colors. It is a laptop with Intel 4400 graphics. After initially installing 13.10 and it was messed up, I also tried the the intel drivers and they installed fine, but still blurry and green. Not sure what else to try, resolution is correct, but not sure how to check color depth I'm currently running un [00:52] der. [00:55] kuhwallskee: How did you install the Intel driver ? Are you aware ->http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/intel-releases-linux-graphics-drivers.html [00:55] seriosuly what is the best usb 802.11n card that supports master/ap mode? [00:56] I have the RT5370 and it does not work :( [00:56] i get kernel errors [00:56] and cannot get it to use the rt2800usb driver [00:57] Bashing-om, I instaleed from 01.org, the newest release for 13.10 just came out earlier this month. [00:58] How do I configure EasyBCD to use the Windows 8 menu? [00:59] bmccoy11: That's really a Windows question. Try asking in ##windows. [00:59] Using firefox on a video site, WIMP.COM, I'm getting Error # 2035. I believe that JWPlayer is being used. Chromium works fine. Any ideas === Pebbe is now known as Pebbe|Away [01:00] Mmmkay. [01:02] Bashing-om, Is there any additional configuration I need to do after the installer? Everything ran ok, no error messages, and it was the newest version. My concern is it may be something different as there was no change from before and after the driver install. [01:04] kuhwallskee: Intel graphics configuration is not in my sphere of knowledge, so unable to advise on this. [01:04] After a recent update, I can no longer print with my printer. I'm not sure exactly what happened. Any suggestions on diagnosing this. My printer is no longer listed as a printer option. [01:04] ? [01:05] Dear friends, I was able to install Xubuntu 12.04 on my virtual machine. The more modern versions are impossible to install. So i suppose i cannot test modern release of ubuntu on my laptop, isn't it? [01:07] Well., EasyBCD doesn't install the Windows 8 style MBR for some reason. It's Windows 7 style instead [01:07] What's your folks preferred irc client? [01:08] I followed this guide: http://www.maketecheasier.com/configure-the-boot-menu-windows-8/ [01:08] callmeDarwin: pidgin [01:09] quick question, i've had a ext4 fsck running for about 4 hours. It's consuming a ton of CPU, but not displaying anything new, nothing new in dmesg. Is there any way to be sure it's still running? [01:09] Oh [01:09] Derp [01:09] Never mind [01:10] give me MACOS style with GTK3+? [01:10] Fily: testing -> one way is d/l the .iso (verify md5sum) burn as an image to some medium, and boot it as a liveDVD -> try ubuntu. And see how it runs (??). [01:11] give me MACOS style with GTK3+? [01:11] give me MACOS style with GTK3+! [01:11] please give me! [01:11] hello everybody!

[01:16] Bashing-om, Is there a way to swap red and green? [01:16] Bashing-om, http://pastebin.com/sT52z2Pr [01:16] why would i get " iwlist wlan0 scan [01:16] wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy [01:17] i am using rt5370 on the rt2800usb driver [01:18] kuhwallskee: On Intel, not that I know of, for that matter I know of no outside menas of any driver to switch the colors. But, there is a lot I do not know ! [01:18] This article is hilarious. http://betanews.com/2013/05/28/dear-linux-im-leaving-you-for-windows-8/ [01:18] bmccoy11: It's a question about Windows's bootloader. Just because something is "related to Ubuntu" does not make it appropriate for this channel. Also, people in ##windows are more likely to know the answer to this question. Is there a reason you haven't even tried asking there? [01:18] Fily: gone to look at 2Pr. [01:18] Nobody is answering. [01:19] I need help getting i3 to work on a minimal install [01:19] i3 won't open display === gruber is now known as jsjgruber-x-p [01:20] I'm trying to use Evolution to remind me when appointments come up. However, when Evolution reminds me on the desktop, it doesn't actually show what the event is. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/227643/evolution.png Anyone know what's going on / a setting isn't set? [01:21] Fily: that processor should run anything we can throw at it.. how much ram do you have installed ? [01:23] i3 won't open display [01:23] Bashing, yes but it is my PC not the old laptop [01:24] what do you mean won't open display? [01:25] Korny: I installed it and it wont run, Xorg is also installed [01:25] you check the bios to make sure the IGP card is enabled? [01:27] Any way to read the dimentions of a terminal? [01:28] Fily: In my opinion, download and burn Lubuntu, and see if it runs. see what it might take to make it run (??). [01:28] Korny: no, how do I go about doing that ? [01:29] Bashing-om, on this PC i can run also Ubuntu 14.04 on virtual machine. I wanted to use the old laptop for testing new releases [01:29] what is this Ubuntu/Linaro im seeing in cat /proc/version? [01:30] I can print using the cups (localhost:631) print test page, but I can't print in other applications. Any suggestions on fixing this issue? [01:30] make sure that you have the printer as default, not the fax [01:31] with my Canon Pixma printer, it always wants to set the fax machine as the default printer when installed (cheap Pixma that doesn't even have a fax modem) [01:33] Hello. Lenovo My IdeaPad Y560p has been consistently running about 70C for many months. Generally 85-90C when playing a game or video [01:34] I have tried a lot of things. What I think actually worked was before when I was able to boot to Windows [01:34] what ubuntu version are you running runvnc [01:34] and then came back [01:34] ok don't shoot me but I have Mint 15 installed [01:34] Fily: totally confused, then what has the virtual machine got to do with the laptop ? [01:34] ethermonk: I set the printer as default, but that didn't seem to help. I think the real problem is that some printer interface with gnome and kde (i have both installed) is broken. [01:34] but the overheating was the same in ubuntu [01:34] with every version I have had on this thing [01:35] although some things have made it slightly less bad I think [01:35] Bashing-om, I installed Virtualbox also on my laptop. I wanted to test the releases there cause it is older tnat this one but I cannot [01:36] runvnc: At that temperature... you can get one nasty burn... definitely not a LAP top. [01:36] yeah I am just worried that it might wear out [01:36] ...seriously? [01:36] runvnc: Yah... it will. [01:36] and the problem is I can't really fullscreen games or videos because around 92+ it starts to slow down the performance of the laptop [01:36] like it is protecting itself [01:37] runvnc: What graphics card? [01:37] guys, I think I've found perhaps a bug. I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" Minimal CD 30MB (MD5: da3186327d8a040beadc3f7db0ff9302, SHA1: 6cd614b16b2e217233fec633eb21ef6388c3d84b) in a VM and I got a nopubkey error when trying to fetch from extras - http://nopub.kpaste.net/42e3c5 [01:37] it is radeon [01:37] mobile [01:38] Can someone help me change the icon of Ubuntu in the Windows 8 MBR? [01:38] Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Madison [Mobility Radeon HD 5730 / 6570M] [01:39] runvnc: CPU? [01:39] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz [01:40] I think its 4 cores hyperthreaded [01:41] Fily: OK, you probably know more about the VM than i, but, you do know it takes lots of ram to run a VM, has the laptop got enough ram ? [01:41] ethermonk: I believe there is a problem with system-config-printer, but I'm not sure. [01:43] runvnc: Those CPUs run hot. Maximum operating temperature is 100C. [01:43] Anyone? [01:43] jarray but it runs 50C in windows [01:43] and the computer is shutting down if I play videos or games at high res fullscreen [01:44] because it gets up over 92-94 sometimes [01:44] hey guys. I'm having some problems with RVM. I got it to work in one shell, then nothing works in a new shell. I keep getting messages like "The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:" when I try to run ruby -v. It's like it can't find anything, even though .rvm/bin is in my $PATH variable. Has that happened to anyone else? [01:44] Bashing-om, I think 4 GB of ram but the problem is not the ram but the version of the release [01:45] I have been fighting this for months with different grub settings and switching from open source to proprietary graphics drivers [01:45] so now I am hoping that a laptop cooling pad will drop at least 10 degrees [01:45] unless you guys have an idea [01:46] I want to change the icon of Ubuntu in Windows 8's MBR. [01:47] runvnc: I just checked. I have the exact same processor. [01:47] brycesenz: do you have multiple RVM's installed? [01:47] runvnc: You're right... that temperaure is too hot. [01:48] what other specs do you have jarray [01:48] what graphics [01:48] runvnc: dmesg | grep i7-2630QM gives me [01:49] runvnc: [ 0.082544] CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz stepping 07 [01:49] Fily: so what the situation is, you want to install ubuntu onto the laptop and also run in ubuntu a Virtual Machine ? [01:49] runvnc: and sensors gives roughly 52 C for every core. [01:49] my sensors-detect never finds any fans [01:50] pwmconfig says there is nothing it can use [01:50] fancontrol cant start because there is no config [01:50] runvnc: How do you know the temperature? [01:50] only thing I get detected is something called coretemp [01:50] I get temps [01:51] but no fan info [01:51] I am using something called psensor [01:51] to view temperature [01:51] runvnc: I'm talking about coretemp-isa-0000 or something like that... that's what I see when running sensors. [01:51] mine is just called 'coretemp' [01:52] as far as I recall [01:52] Bashing-om, in the laptop I have Ubuntu 11.10 and it works very well, without problems. On this PC i Have Ubuntu 13.10 and I don't have any problems. I wanted to test new releases and give my contribute to ubuntu community [01:52] How do I use Evolution to remind me that a specific event has occured? [01:52] runvnc: Not sure. Does this happen after a fresh install? [01:53] yes I just recently got a samsung 840pro ssd and put mint 15 on it with a usb flash thing [01:53] runvnc: Is this just Ubuntu or other distros too? [01:53] and before after upgrading between old ubuntu to newer ubuntu [01:53] same problem [01:53] I have not tried any other distros besides mint [01:53] but like 3 different kernels on different versions [01:54] Fily: VM environments are not a good test bed for development versions, nothing beats bare metal. Why not just install a version on the laptop and test away ? [01:54] if I have to use Red Hat or something it might be better to just kill myself [01:54] runvnc: It could be a configuration setting. I would try checking the BIOS settings and then install another distro. [01:55] i have been in my shitty bios many times [01:55] it seems to have the minimum number of options possible for a bios [01:55] I will think about another distro [01:55] I need to run docker so I think that means I need to try red hat or something [01:55] runvnc: One of those proprietary bioses... I see. [01:56] Bashing-om, my laptop doesn't support version more moderna than 11.10. I don't think it supports development versions [01:56] If I have to decide whether I would rather use Red Hat or watch my IdeaPad die an honorable death melting itself with a Debian-based system, I might choose an honorable death. [01:56] runvnc: most bioses (except coreboot) are proprietary but sometimes laptop manufacturers further restrict the settings. [01:57] Fily: Then I really do not see how it could support later version in a virtual environment either, am I being dense ? [01:57] runvnc: Do you have switcheable graphics? [01:58] how can I verify what color depth I'm currently running at in KDE? [01:58] Not that I can tell jarray [01:58] although I think I read something that says it is supposed to have an integrated intel [01:58] but I can't see it [01:58] or switch it [01:58] although I just read something about adding an integrated intel to the x config manually or something [01:59] which I dont even know if I physically have it. [01:59] runvnc: What model computer? [01:59] runvnc: we could bing it. [01:59] Lenovo IdeaPad Y560p [01:59] did you say bing [01:59] runvnc: Also try lspci -vvv [01:59] Whats the delay issue when using sound? Its like it times out somehow so I cannot hear the beginning of the sound Im playing... If I play it right after I hear everything, but after a while its like a second is gone in silence... [02:00] Interesting. So I'm testing my new server out. It has two 12-core Ivy Bridge Xeons at 2.7Ghz. I'm using turbostat to look at actual frequency, where I've set mprime to load one hardware thread. That core is reporting 3.5GHz. === dusty__ is now known as DustyBrewer [02:00] Hi guys, I can't find Slim.conf anywhere, I've even lurked in midnight commander and it's nowhere to be found. Minimal install here, desktop [02:01] It seems that core frequency is a function of package voltage, because all other cores (though idle) are reporting over 3GHz too, although slightly lower numbers. I think that the reporting isn't very accurate because the other hyperthread on the same core is reporting a different frequency. [02:01] Bashing-om, Yes it doesn't support later version in a v m environment. Instead I'm installing 14.04 on a vm in the PC not in the laptop [02:02] I can print a test page using CUPS, but I can't seem to print in applications. When I select print, my printer is not listed. The only option is print to file. Any suggestions on how to determine the problem? [02:03] jarray http://blog.tremily.us/posts/Adding_a_network_printer_with_lpadmin/ [02:05] maybe this is all just a big understanding and the temperature readouts are giving me F instead of C [02:05] and confusing the laptop into thinking it needs to shutdown sometimes [02:05] runvnc: lpinfo -v gives me the output: 'lpinfo: No route to host'.

[02:19] When I try to print, my printer is not listed as an option. [02:21] Does any one have an updated VGA switcheroo script?

Then, Administration. Then Manage Printers. On that page, I see one printer. I can click it. Then, I can hit print page. That works. [02:30] runvnc: sudo grep -R ServerName /etc/cups/* gives a server name.

I have it open in terminal but I dont know what language to choose [02:53] see you [02:53] you want a serial number or model # [02:54] model# maybe. [02:54] I want to determine if you have switcheable graphics. [02:54] no it doesnt have switachable [02:54] it should [02:54] but some aspect of the hardware config doesnt allow that [02:54] according to an article or two I read [02:55] it doesnt show up in the output of that command you gave me [02:55] just the ati shows [02:55] this laptop just doesnt have it [02:55] hi guys... 12.04 64 bit and I can't get some of the options in Compiz to work - desktop cube / rotating cube / snapping windows/ wobbly windows..

I want to know what hardware you have. [02:56] is lenovo y560p specific enough [02:56] I don't want to know the driver of printer. The driver of printer is known on Windows. [02:56] or should I unplug it and take it in the other room to look on the bottom [02:56] runvnc: I don't want to know the driver of printer. The driver of printer is known on Windows. [02:56] runvnc: some lenovo y560p have switcheable... some don't.

The driver of printer is known on Windows. and windows share the printer. [02:57] I looked very hard for that [02:57] runvnc: After that, drivers handle the switching. [02:57] wanted it to be there [02:57] runvnc: It is also a cause of overheating. [02:57] it is not there as far as I can tell [02:57] duping [02:57] what is the model of the printer [02:57] that article shows the command you can use [02:57] where can i look up how big the ubuntu repositories are if i want to create a mirror?

[03:03] ok I figured out I'm running Unity -2D, i want to run regular unity so all the cool stuff works [03:03] runvnc: There are 3 BIOS manufacturers, and those vendors provide their customers with ways to lock the BIOS if they desire.

[04:24] glitsj16: thank you very much for all your help [04:24] marianne_: sweet .. one more thing, currently you only have nvidia kernel module for the 3.8.0-5-generic [04:24] hitsujiTMO: No, it is just for me :) [04:24] SchrodingersScat: That's kinda the most monsterous way possible to have as organizer [04:25] glitsj16: do I need to do anything else or can I just leave it alone [04:25] marianne_: you're welcome, give the wobblys a good shake .. you can build/install it in dkms for your other kernels manually, i don't know how many you have or use [04:25] vanea: then my advice is don't try to over engineer a problem. keep it simple. [04:26] marianne_: as long as you don't boot into a lower kernel you're fine, a future kernel update will build automatically [04:26] glitsj16: ok, then I should be good... === xubuntu is now known as Guest61730 [04:26] marianne_: sudo dkms build -m nvidia-331 -v 331.20 -k .. and sudo dkms install -m nvidia-331 -v 331.20 -k .. for each kernel you have installed .. no need to do that now [04:27] glitsj16: ok. going to copy that for later [04:27] hitsujiTMO: I guess you are right :) [04:27] marianne_: enjoy the machine [04:27] glitsj16: :-) [04:28] Hello. I am having a small problem and hope somebody can give me a pointer. I'm not a newbie to linux, but my knowledge is intermittent. [04:29] My laptop (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) apparently has the delete key (which is standard to get into the BIOS) set to restore the windoze 8 partition. Thankfully, it didn't erase anything and the ext4 partition still exists and appears to be intact. (I was able to pull files off of it using the system rescue CD livecd.) The problem now is that every time I boot from the hard drive, it tries to repair windoze, fails, and reboots, repeating a [04:29] I found directions on how to use something called boot-repair (I'm guessing to simply reinstall GRUB in the MBR), but it requires a GUI and booting from the install CD does not provide a GUI; startx produces the infamous 'no screens found'. Xorg -reconfigure fails because it's a read-only (DVD) file system. Any ideas or suggestions? [04:29] hey guys If i am trying to run a shell script and it says permission denied , is the best way to chmod it using "sudo chmod u+x filename?" or what would be the proper permissions? [04:30] Psil0Cybin: very unlikely you need the sudo [04:30] Psil0Cybin: if you are already root you can usermod or chmod whatever. [04:31] okay soryr silly me, if I dont even run it as root [04:31] would I chmod it to u+x? [04:31] if you like [04:31] you can try [04:31] well what is the best method for shell scripts.. [04:31] or what is the best file permission [04:31] Psil0Cybin: just for the owner. so if you're not the owner the u+x will not give you execute permission [04:31] there is no "best", it need executable bit set to be executable. [04:31] I am the owner, [04:32] okay so your saying Ben64 any chmod that allows it to be executable, is fine, just my preferences for other permissions is my choice? [04:32] type thing [04:32] Psil0Cybin: what file system is the script on? [04:32] hitsujiTMO: in what sense i just put it in /home/scripts [04:32] its just for me to learn how to use shell scripts [04:32] If you invoke a script using the interpreter it's meant to run under ( perl myscript ), it does not need to be executable. If you want to run it by itself ( ./myscript ) it needs the executable flag [04:32] they are own codes :D [04:33] my* [04:33] Psil0Cybin: ok so you're not getting the error after chmodding? [04:33] nope [04:33] now it runs fine [04:33] with u+x === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away [04:33] esentially u=rwx [04:33] ah [04:33] so what is the x? [04:33] hey can someone give me some advice on reinstalling grub pretty please [04:33] x = execute [04:34] hans: grup update [04:34] grub update* === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:34] your options are ugo = user:group:others [04:34] How would one reinstall grub when booting from the ubuntu dvd? [04:34] same thing? [04:34] Any idea why I can hear sound in Unity but not in Fluxbox? I checked in alsamixer and nothing is muted and volume is turned up but I still have no luck. [04:34] Psil0Cybin: ok. well depending on what you want, chmod u+x only if and you alone are to execute, but in general its usuall faily safe to chmod +x it. the files/apps its calling and their permissions should prevent any misuse [04:35] Ruler2112: I think updating on a live is different [04:35] hitsujiTMO: thanks :D [04:35] that really answered my question [04:35] Booting from the hard drive takes me into an endless windoze 8 repair/reboot/retry cycle. :-( [04:35] Ruler2112: If I remember you mount the drives then run grub-install [04:35] hitsujiTMO: thanks again you are a really big help! [04:36] does anyone know how i can import a .CSV file into a mysql database and just UPDATE a few rows within the table ? [04:36] Any idea why I can hear sound in Unity but not in Fluxbox? I checked in alsamixer and nothing is muted and volume is turned up but I still have no luck. [04:37] Psil0Cybin: and if you want g-x or o-x then it would be best to g-r or o-r too. [04:37] okay grub update wasnt a valid command but i did apt-get install grub [04:37] Stonegate: what version of SQl you using [04:37] when i boot it goes to the grub rescue screen [04:37] juze: 5.0.22 (doh) :) [04:38] return0: just tried it and no-go. [04:39] Stonegate: there is a way to load a local file to a table [04:39] what are you needing specifically? [04:40] I miss lilo - knew what I was doing in it. :-/ [04:41] Stonegate: if you are using phpmyadmin i believe it has a facility for that as long as the table already exists [04:42] nocturnal: you might want to check OSS and pulseaudio. IIRC, one of them was screwing with my sound when I first set up ubuntu === Logan_ is now known as OldLogan [04:43] Ruler2112: thanks ill give it a look [04:43] yes, the table exists and the csv is a previous dump i´ve made from that table.. The Table Dump was processed in Excel (containing telephone numbers and email adresses) .. i changed some numbers in excel and now i want to reimport the .CSV file to update my sql database [04:43] nocturnal: hope one of them is the source of your problem or that you find it while looking at them [04:44] the tables name is: buddies - the rows i need to replace/update are "phone" and "email" .. The database is named "adressbook" [04:44] Ruler2112: Were you using Unity? [04:45] nocturnal: at the time, yes. Since moved on to LXDE - less annoying interface IMO. === sergio is now known as Guest1528 [04:46] Stonegate: http://www.convertcsvtomysql.com/ [04:46] Ruler2112: How is your sound? I may just switch to that for my laptop. [04:46] ok, so i have ubuntu studio running live off this usb -- but the install launcher is not working --- what could be the case? [04:47] wow! [04:48] nocturnal: the only problem I have with sound is that whenever I plug in my external speakers, the system sound mutes and I have to manually unmute it. Not a big deal, but annoying. There's an automute option in alsa, but that just controls whether the internal speakers mute when you plug in speakers, not whether the system sound mutes when this happens. [04:49] Ruler2112: Id rather have some sound than no sound. my laptop isnt strong enough to run unity so ive been running fluxbox but i cant watch netflix with no sound [04:49] is there a way to edit cronjobs..adding and removing specific cronjobs programmaticly ? [04:50] have a program look at all the current cronjobs...find one based off a specific ID and then remove it [04:50] nocturnal: Sure you can - just make up the plot yourself as you watch - makes it more interesting anyways... ;-) [04:51] eoss: you could pipe crontab -l through sed to do this [04:51] I made ubuntu12.04 usb installation for macbook. I goodbye mac and after restarting,entering ubuntu by usb stick. As a result, black screen. I don't know what's going on? Please help!!! [04:51] anybody available to help with an installation quirk? === Logan_ is now known as Guest44808 [04:52] Ruler2112: it felt that way last night when i was trying to solve this. [04:52] You? [04:52] Ruler2112: I GOT IT! Thanks! [04:52] How did you do? [04:53] nocturnal: as long as I leave the speakers plugged in, there's no problem. Unfortunately, the genius' who designed the laptop made the power plug and audio plug come out of opposite sides, so I can't put it on a shelf without unplugging one or the other. [04:53] somsip: thanks, i just am confused on how to do that, i just watched some sed tutorials but it didnt make it that clear, is there a resource I can go to study on how to do this specifically with sed? [04:53] nocturnal: Great! What was the problem? [04:53] dupingping86: i'm not an expert -- had assistance from someone in the last couple days fixing a similar problem -- i think its a grub issue ... hopefully someone will be along to assist you shortly === Guest44808 is now known as Logan_ [04:54] Ruler2112: I used pavucontrol and had to change the configuration profile to Analog Stereo Output instead of Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output [04:55] subuntu, Where and how can I find that method? [04:55] nocturnal: wow - I was right about it being OSS or pulse... that doesn't happen very often! ;) [04:56] eoss: this gives you an idea on how I use it, but you'd need to adapt it http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835942/ [04:57] dupingping86: i'm afraid i'm not the one to help you, i don't understand the issues well enough -- just want you to know that the odds are that your hardware is not broken, and you will resolve the issue with some assistance from someone more knowledgeable than i [04:57] Anyhow thanks. [04:57] !nomodeset | dupingping86 try this [04:57] dupingping86 try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[05:00] hey guys. anyone around to help me out with a path issue with a cron job? [05:01] sudormrf|other: paste the crontab using paste.ubuntu.com [05:01] somsip: ok. [05:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835956/ [05:03] sudormrf|other: and what's the issue? [05:03] This may seem like a silly question, but is there any way to abort a wget download? ... I always assumed Ctrl-C canceled the download, but just noticed my network usage continued at above 1mb/s download until I ran the command "killall wget" [05:04] I think the issue is related to a variable that needs to be added to PATH, but I am not certain. I have tried running the job that is causing problems using the path to the program to run and that doesn't work. tried using cd and changed to the directory where the program lives prior to the command running, nothing seems to be working. [05:04] sudormrf|other: what is the job that is causing the problem? [05:05] m000gle: ctrl+c does stop it [05:05] Ben64: Let me test it once more ... brb [05:05] somsip: I am trying to run greyhole checksums on a schedule, but it doesn't run. it fails with an error about tempparm or something like that [05:05] can't remember the error off the top of my head [05:06] sudormrf|other: so where is the command you are running in that crontab you pasted? [05:07] Ben64: Strange... It must have been a glicth that once, as it just worked as expected =/ [05:07] somsip: oh crap lol. pasted the wrong crontab. hang on. [05:08] somsip: actually, I am not sure why the entires are not showing in the crontab. I am using gnome-schedule to set them (this is my first time using crontab). [05:09] somsip: thanks what does this part do? | crontab - [05:10] eoss: pipes the output of the previous commands as a 'file' expected by crontab IIRC [05:10] Ruler2112: IF Windows/UEFI is not a factor, I can direct you to (re-)install grub, do you know where your /boot is located ? [05:10] somsip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835979/ [05:10] there you go [05:10] somsip: command in question is line 6 [05:11] Bashing: that would be perfect! Yes, I know where everything from the linux install is located [05:11] bashing: and at this point, I'd be happy if I never saw a windoze screen again! [05:11] Ruler2112: so confirm '/' is 1st hard drive's 1st partition ? [05:12] Bashing-on: / is actually on /dev/sda4 [05:12] Ruler2112: OK, I can cope, and there is no separate /boot partition ? [05:12] Bashing-om: I foolishly left the restore partitions intact when installing ubuntu in case I wanted to sell the laptop and/or go back. [05:13] sudormrf|other: examples on github suggest using the full path to greyhole https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/blob/master/greyhole.cron.weekly [05:13] Bashing-om: That is correct - /boot is on /dev/sda4 [05:13] somsip: thanks for this, i have one more question if you dont mind: is there a way to give names to particular cronjobs? I need to be able to remove specific cronjobs from the list [05:13] somsip: I tried /usr/bin/greyhole --fsck --checksums but that failed too. [05:14] eoss: you could add a comment to the job I suppose, eg: 0 7 * * * #job1; /usr/local/bin/backup.sh [05:15] sudormrf|other: in what way is it failing? [05:15] somsip: let me paste the error [05:15] thanks somsip [05:16] Just installed Ubuntu Studio [05:17] just curious as a ubuntu Tester does 1 have to install all the packages that is in the "new Respository" in the Synaptic Package Manager? [05:17] Ruler2112: Boot the liveDVD terminal codes: sudo mkdir /mnt/work , sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/work , sudo grub-install /dev/sda , sudo umount /mnt/work , reboot for effect. [05:18] Bashing-om: I don't need to chroot to the mounted file system? [05:18] somsip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835994/ keep in mind that the entry that it says doesn't exist, does. and is spelled correctly. and it is referenced in the greyhole.conf file. [05:18] Bashing-on: (I've done it with lilo before, but never grub.) [05:18] Ruler2112: nope .. not to install grub. [05:18] Hello ubuntu team. [05:18] sudormrf|other: so the greyhole.conf isn't setup right... [05:19] somsip: how so? [05:19] I am having problems with getting my crontab to run on restart. [05:19] sudormrf|other: well, that's the error. No idea. I've never heard of greyhole [05:19] leichtgewicht: paste your crontab to past.ubuntu.com [05:19] *paste.ubuntu.com [05:19] Bashing-om: Got an error from grub-probe - cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) [05:19] bashing-om: anything to worry about? [05:20] somsip: awesome typo: the world misses this domain :D [05:21] somsip: I am not sure that is so. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6836004/ [05:21] sudormrf|other: I don't know anything about greyhole. I can help with crontab issues, but I can't make your confs right [05:21] Ruler2112: thinking,, I don't see where/dev should have come into play, all we are doing is mounting the root to access the MBR .. There is another alternative we can try , still not chrooting though. [05:21] here is my crontap i am using http://paste.ubuntu.com/6836005/ [05:22] somsip: no worries :). I think this may be something I have to work with the greyhole dev on. :). [05:22] somsip: thanks though! :D [05:23] when i start with sudo shutdown -r now then it seems like the script doesn't run [05:23] (no .log file is being created) [05:24] leichtgewicht: is the process running? === fred_ is now known as Guest45936 [05:24] bashing-om: I found a gui tool that purports to do it automagically at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair but I can't get into a GUI when booted from the DVD. (Actually, the installer boots into a GUI, but startx when started from the 'try ubuntu' menu option chokes.) [05:26] somsip: no [05:26] leichtgewicht: does it run correctly when started manually? [05:26] Oh: I should maybe mention: I use crontab -e -u [05:27] yes: it works when i start it manually. [05:28] leichtgewicht: oh. Didn't you have this problem about a week ago? I recognise it now I see it's a nodejs thing... [05:28] more like three weeks ago :) [05:28] bashing-om: hold on... think I might've just figured out why it's not working. The drive came with a GPT partition table and so I have to use parted to view it - /dev/sda2 (fat32) is set as bootable. I bet that the accidental triggering of the windoze restore procedure set this partition active [05:28] Yes: I thought it worked but it seems it didn't. [05:28] leichtgewicht: ok. I didn't recognise your name but vaguely remember the issue. [05:29] leichtgewicht: And from memory I said before that maybe binami needs access to the node executable, and that is not added to the path as I see it [05:30] somsip: yes [05:30] Ruler2112: umount /mnt/work , sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt ,sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda , sudo umount /mnt .. and waiting about GPT .. this is a different horse now ! [05:30] leichtgewicht: so why is that not in path? [05:31] somsip: Even more puzzling: Why is no log file being generated? [05:31] Even a error message should go into the log file, shouldn't it? [05:32] leichtgewicht: not if there is no output [05:32] Ruler2112: Do we now realy need to look now at the partitioning and formats ? Like I said, if Windows is involved ,, I run away ! [05:32] somsip: back. so I did a test using the following command as a cron job "testparm -s '/etc/samba/smb.conf' 2> /dev/null > /tmp/testparm.out" just to see what I would get. the output I received was "ERROR: You must specify both a machine name and an IP address" [05:33] somsip: mind you, this command executes fine if I initiate it myself from the command line. it only errors out when doing it with cron. [05:33] is there a way to output all log statements of crontab. [05:33] Bashing-om: If I lose the ability to boot windoze, I really don't care. I was stupid for leaving the partition there when I installed to begin with. Just something I saw while waiting. Trying installing grub specifying the boot partition now... [05:37] Ruler2112: IF that disk is GPT partitioned a SEPARATE partition IS required .. do we need to look !!!!!! [05:38] bashing-om: /dev/sda2 is set to fat32 and is flagged as bootable. The drive is indeed GPT. [05:40] Ruler2112: Then they above will not work .. as that installs grub to the MBR not correct for GPT . Honestly I have no experience in GPT/grub. Others will have to assist. less ya want to wait for me in my AM .. it is past my thinking time. [05:40] Bashing-om: Got an error about crossblocks when trying to install specifying the last command. Mounted /dev/sda2 and it has 2 directories - EFI and Temp. EFI has Boot, Microsoft,.... [05:41] bashing-om: Thanks for your help. [05:41] bashing-om: I miss the days when a partition table was a partition table... [05:41] is this a host file issue? [05:42] Ruler2112: Not any help presently, there is I know a means to install grub to the boot partiton, and I can research and find it. but I have never had the ocassion to do so. [05:43] anyone? :D [05:43] somsip: for the sake of testing I added @reboot echo 'hi' >> /var/log/project_startup.log and it gave no output [05:43] bashing-om: I can hunt for it - it's my problem after all. No need for you to spend your time on it; I appreciate your trying. [05:43] Ruler2112: Let me tell you I am old school, and I am having my difficulties adjusting to all the changes progress is making ! [05:44] bashing-om: I hear ya there - feel the same way myself at times [05:45] Ruler2112: GPT and UEFI will be a good and great thing .. it is here to stay, may as well learn it now as later, huh ?? [05:45] somsip: if you are still around, I am wondering if this is a host file issue? seeing that error about specifying a hostname and ip address? [05:45] bashing-om: or just say screw it and become either a professional fisherman or woodworker. ;) ;) [05:46] sudormrf|other: sorry - I really have to get on with some work [05:46] somsip: no worries [05:46] Ruler2112: LOL, I am where I could, but here I am pounding on a keyboard - for hours !

[06:02] bashing-om: If I can't figure this out tonight, I'm going to download/install lubuntu tomorrow. Would there be any down-side to disable EFI in my bios and creating a regular partition table in your opinion? (Saw a discussion about this online, but you seem to know what you're talking about.) [06:03] redsquare: rpm packages are not made to be used on ubuntu/debian distros [06:04] glitsj16 : I am installing now restricted extras ...It should work... [06:05] redsquare: yes, was just a fyi, so you don't download rpm's in the future [06:05] have to part. [06:05] laters [06:05] glitsj16 : ok :) [06:06] Have a good evening everybody [06:17] Ruler2112: Well, in the long term GPT has the advantage, But for a simple system I find no fault with remaining with the msdos partitioning and putting grub to the Master Boot Record. This would require that you (re-)partition that drive. [06:18] Ruler2112: in addition, repartitioning would preclude ever installing Windows again .. ! [06:19] hi, im using the bluez package on ubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu 13.10, i got 2 usb bluetooth 3.0 + hs wifi combo dongles and i can transfer files between 2 machines with them. its just very slow (<200kByte/s) how do i need to configure the wifi /bluetooth part for higher speeds?

[06:20] darkangel: the desktop environment [06:20] ok [06:20] bashing-om: I just feel like I'd know what I'm doing/talking about with a regular partition table. I have discovered something interesting. Playing around in the recovery partition options, it gave me the ability to boot from a device, one of which was labeled ubuntu. I'm now in my ubuntu install, but every single time I reboot, I have to go through a 3-reboot process to get into it. I *think* all I need to do is to figure out h [06:20] darkangel: one comes with Unity, one comes with GNOME [06:20] bashing-om: with the little I've used windoze 8, that would be a good thing. [06:21] If it weren't for classic shell, a fishing buddy of mine said he would've thrown his new laptop into saginaw bay [06:22] Ruler2112: Like I say, Grub can be installed to the EFI partition, and what is termed a "shim" to boot Windows. I am not familiar with the procedure. I just know it can be done ! [06:24] bashing-om: lol - pretty much anything can be done. It's just a matter of figuring out how. [06:24] Ruler2112: I see it all the time, of people being too hasty to forsake Windows. There are some things in Windows that there is no alternatives. But the choice is yours. We can make both bootable. Windows just is not in my field of interest. === linus_ is now known as DeepBlue === DeepBlue is now known as Guest10158 [06:25] How would one install the Debian grub over the Ubuntu Grub?

[06:34] nZac: my other suggestion would be to turn off ufw and test so you can see if the binding is correct, or if it's a ufw issue [06:34] somsip: Let me give that a shot [06:34] nZac: and make sure your user access permissions are correct === james is now known as Guest34635 [06:35] somsip: If I log into the VM, I can connect to the mysql client with the credentials, so that isn't the issue [06:36] Ruler2112: Yeah I too have been "looking" and saw references to Boot-Repair" that it can fix it ! .. Glad we are over this hurdle ! [06:36] nZac: did you know that user permissions are associated with domains in mysql? [06:36] chmod [06:36] somsip: EUREKA!!!!!!! [06:37] nZac: eg root@localhost might be allowed but root@192.168.1.2 might not [06:37] somsip: The issue was the IP I thought the "host" machine was at was not actually that IP... so I was giving permissions to the wrong IP, therefore breaking the whole thing. [06:37] somsip: 3 days... I have been working on this for 3 day! [06:38] bashing-om: so am I... sucked having to compile kernel modules to get my wifi working and wasn't looking forward to having to do it again. Feel inept having to resort to a GUI tool to do what probably amounts to a few simple commands... [06:38] nZac: k - sorted [06:38] somsip: thanks for the help! [06:39] Ruler2112: I feel the same. The reason I am where I am is I too prefer the CLI and KNOW what is taking place. Terminal will never go away . [06:40] bashing-om: Out of curiosity, where are you? (In above context) [06:42] Ruler2112: OH mercy, 40 years++ of messing with computers, and ubuntu is my operating system of choice, I know my way around ubuntu, and have a lot more to learn. [06:44] bashing-om: you got me on experience - I've only been alive 37 years. ;) My first memory of a computer is my older brother bringing home a lab machine from HS and playing Quest and Zork upstairs when he wasn't home. Then I somehow got into a DOS shell and haven't stopped learning since... [06:46] bashing-om: While I like ubuntu, I don't know if I prefer it or freebsd. (If BSD would make the ports tree stable and stop breaking stuff every other day, it'd be less difficult to choose.) [06:46] Ruler2112: One thing for sure, one will never quit learning when it comes to operating systems, and it is evolving so rapidly, there is no way to keep up with it all. [06:47] basing-om: yeah - that's true. Regardless, I feel stupid for not being able to keep up. [06:47] how about getting rid of the stuff the gets on the desk top by aim [06:48] Ruler2112: I have been open source most of my life, and the support structure of ubuntu committed me to this operating system. [06:49] How do I use Evolution to remind me that a specific event has occured? [06:50] #Joschiii what's up [06:51] How do you reply to someone on here? [06:51] bashing-om: Thanks again for your time & help - appreciate it. [06:52] Now I can go fight with a windows box... ubuntu can't use the TV capture dongle, so I had to set up an XP machine strictly to capture with. :( [06:52] Ruler2112: No Problem, This too is my little bit for ubuntu as a whole. Believe me, ubuntu and we are all in this together. [07:03] hi all, i'm trying to install a newer version of rkward, a ui for r [07:04] i'm running 12.04 - can i force apt-get to install from a less-stable branch to get a newer version of rkward? [07:06] hi, my grub2 does not display boot choices anymore, how can i change that? [07:06] ndroftheline: you might have to look for a PPA that offers the rkward version you need for 12.04 [07:08] Too funnyt :somsip: The script but working file but the user didn't have rights to write the log file in that directory ... [07:08] * leichtgewicht .oO( Wow: my english is broken ... where is the patch?) [07:09] Anyone know how to change the terminal that Alt+F1 opens? [07:12] glitsj16: there's no way to install a package from an unstable branch? [07:14] ndroftheline: ubuntu doesn't have unstable branch technically, unlike debian [07:15] ndroftheline: look out for a PPA [07:15] !ppa | ndroftheline [07:15] ndroftheline: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[08:30] Kartagis: why would resolv.conf help an IP address [08:31] I am beginner in networking configurations [08:31] ikonia: because of `ping google.com` [08:31] Kartagis: he can't connect to an IP address....

[08:48] Hi there, i am trying to install razercfg (razer mouse driver) but am getting this error when "make install" [08:48] make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [08:48] So uhh, why does Ubuntu refuse to support standards, such as VirtIO SCSI , etc? https://db.tt/q13qFcnh Note the complete lack of disks found. [08:48] have you read the install instructions ? [08:48] ikonia, following them character by character, yes [08:50] GG Ubuntu : https://db.tt/s6kPHYnh 8.4 MB disk [08:50] AlbinoGeek: don't need a comentary [08:50] BlueMint: let me take a look [08:50] ikonia, nevermind. Give me 5 more minutes [08:50] BlueMint: ok, so you've downloaded the source, what's the first thing you did [08:50] I think i came here too prematurely [08:50] ikonia, cmake [08:50] ikonia: Well, I'd love some advise on how to make Ubuntu not suck at being in a VM. [08:50] then make [08:51] BlueMint: ok, did that complete, did you get any warnings/errors [08:51] Since it obviously doesn't support VirtIO SCSI, or even VirtIO IDE. [08:51] AlbinoGeek: it's running in a vm here just fine [08:51] ikonia, nope. Got the CMake files in the directory after that [08:51] ikonia: Alright, and what disk controller are you using? [08:51] ikonia, then make gives no output [08:51] AlbinoGeek: one moment and I'll tell you [08:51] then I sudo make install [08:52] BlueMint: ok, so if make gave no output it's unlikley it run [08:52] BlueMint: in which case that would explain why there is no target for make install [08:52] Ubuntu refuses to find any disks when the controller is either the VirtIO_SCSI or VirtIO, if I make it plain IDE passthru, the performance is absolutely trash; but it detects the disk. [08:52] Ubuntu/linux newbie here. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS a few days ago. For some reason, my keyboard's caps lock is working the other way around. When switched ON, it types in lower case and vice versa [08:52] And by absolutely trash, I mean the host gets 400Mb/sec on conv=fdatasync , VM gets 20Mb/sec . [08:53] ikonia, I'll keep trying I guess [08:53] AlbinoGeek: one moment and I'll get you my info [08:53] ikonia: Right ,thanks. [08:55] Now, why my SERVER installer requires a keyboard layout detector, network autoconfigure, __A GUI__ and a full slew of games, I'll never know. [08:55] AlbinoGeek: 00:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device [08:56] AlbinoGeek: that's the disk controller my ubuntu guest is using [08:56] ikonia: How did you get VirtIO in yours, or are you running something newer than 12.04 ? [08:56] AlbinoGeek: ahhh sorry yes, 13.10 box. [08:56] Heh. [08:56] AlbinoGeek: are you using 12.04.4 or earlier ? [08:56] ikonia: 12.04.3 ; the latest version on the site. [08:56] AlbinoGeek: hang on a moment then please. [08:57] The ONLY one shown when you click on "Server" [08:57] Heh. [08:57] AlbinoGeek, latest is 12.04.4 - perhaps upgrading might fix [08:57] cfhowlett: Why is 12.04.3 the one on the main site then :/. [08:57] cfhowlett: site is still offering 12.04.3 as the download [08:57] Literally http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server [08:57] so it's understanable why [08:58] cfhowlett: 12.04.4 iso isn't out till 6th afaik [08:58] AlbinoGeek, whaaaaaaaaaat? I'm on 12.04.4 ... - desktop?

[08:59] Feb 6th is 12.04.4 date [08:59] AlbinoGeek: look - grow up, if you want to talk about a problem, talk about it, but if you want to be stupid about it with vague complaints "why does it load crap" then don't bother [08:59] ikonia: What, I'm literally asking what packages Ubuntu feels are so important, it must include. [09:00] AlbinoGeek: ok, so you're saying an ubuntu server minimal install installs a 15GB install ? [09:00] It's not really that vage, I asked what makes the "Minimal" install 15 GB. [09:00] and you compared it to a tgz? i'm not following at all [09:00] Ben64: it appears to just be a stupid rant [09:01] Ben64: Both were created as qcow2 format KVM templates. [09:01] rather than an actual problem / discussion [09:01] AlbinoGeek: errr that could include allocated but unused space [09:01] AlbinoGeek: do a proper minimal install from the cd and test it [09:01] as I'm about to do now [09:01] Might help if I mention the only reason I'm using Ubuntu is at the moment is because customers want to be able to deploy Ubuntu images, and I need to make the template for it.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [09:02] duane_, see #opensourcemusicians [09:02] ikonia: That's what I'm doing at the moment; using the IDE disk controller so the installer at least picks up the disks, can switch it out once I figure out what I have to install / compile to make virtio function in 12.04 [09:02] kubuntu dont see my mobile broadband usb stick at first , it only shows up when I take it off from usb port and put it back , how can fix it that shows it from the first time , in #kubuntu everyone seems to be busy when i asked this, can you help me with this , Windows 8 sees my mobile broadband usb stick for the first time in this same computer [09:03] ikonia: Odd, I didn't get a package selection; it went straight from partitioning -> installing. [09:04] AlbinoGeek, that is NOT normal behavior and makes me highly suspect of your source ISO ... === JoshuaP is now known as JoshuaP-afk [09:05] cfhowlett: Source ISO : http://mirror.clibre.uqam.ca/ubuntu-releases//precise/ubuntu-12.04.3-server-amd64.iso [09:05] Quick question: Is today the day when we are supposed to stop supporting 13.04?

[09:08] what do you mean where do we look ? [09:08] the darknet :P [09:08] AlbinoGeek, got cats/kids/fat fingers near the keyboard? cuz there's a keypress or something that should have happened before installing [09:09] i need a root exploit to test a custom patch [09:09] AlbinoGeek, at least there is on 12.04 [09:09] AlbinoGeek: install almost done, took a few minutes to download 12.04 and install [09:09] cfhowlett: I finally got package selection 400MB into the "base system". Removing useless packages now through the... odd blue screen package manager.

[09:13] ikonia: Yeah, still sitting at this unintuitive interface, wondering why me smashing the + key on my keyboard doesn't add that package to the list to be installed; as per the manpage / help page showing it should :/.

Boot to media [09:14] I have shared my hard disk in three partitions [09:14] ikonia: Yeah, there we go. You're using the VirtIO IDE controller; vda , you'd be sda if using the VirtIO SCSI controller. [09:14] I will wait tillt tomorrow and see if it is still happining [09:14] one for windows, one for macintosh and one for linux [09:15] AlbinoGeek: it's not sda for virtuo scsi [09:15] AlbinoGeek: so totally stock, 12.04.3 install [09:15] after the macintosh and windows installation ,when I finish with linux ubuntu I can't get in windows and I don't know why [09:15] Agamemnon, is this a mac? [09:15] no cfhowlett [09:15] Agamemnon, so a hackintosh. expect pain. [09:16] AlbinoGeek: re-check the hardware it's on [09:16] AlbinoGeek: 00:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device [09:16] AlbinoGeek: SCSI virtio [09:16] no I think with a little lucky you are perfect, cfhowlett [09:16] but I wonder why I meet this problem [09:16] ikonia: Yeah, I don't get that. What performance degredation do you get from the host -> guest ? [09:16] (disk wise) [09:17] AlbinoGeek: as in transfering files ? [09:17] or just generic [09:17] Agamemnon, dude. I've done it. it's a nice science experiment but totally not worth the trouble IMHO. see the hackintosh forums because it's beyond what we can do here. [09:17] what I did wrong? [09:17] ikonia: dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync / ioping -c 10 [09:18] thanks for your answer, cfhowlett but I don't have so much time to search [09:18] I need a help and immediately [09:18] could you or somebody else help me? [09:18] Agamemnon, so sorry. no. go to hackintosh for support. [09:18] AlbinoGeek: just testing a transfer one moment [09:18] For me, Host (CentOS 6.5, RAID10 H/W; deadline scheduler): 418 MB/s ; Guest (Ubuntu 12.04.3, noop scheduler): 26 MB/s [09:18] why after the linux ubuntu installation on the third partition I can't get in windows? [09:19] what I did wrong? [09:19] the format? [09:19] ext4? [09:19] the swap? [09:19] what? [09:19] Agamemnon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:19] Agamemnon, no hackintosh support on this channel. go back to the source of your tutorial. [09:19] I am not so expert on linux ubuntu [09:20] cfhowlett where I can go to ask about it? [09:20] AlbinoGeek: just transfered the fedora-iso (biggest file I could find on my machine) from host to guest [09:20] AlbinoGeek: Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso 100% 4239MB 59.7MB/s 01:11 [09:20] Agamemnon, google [09:20] AlbinoGeek: so 4GB over the virtual network to the virtual disk i n70 seconds [09:20] ikonia: That's not too bad, but what's the degredation host -> guest ? [09:20] As you saw with mine, it was 20x worse. [09:20] what google? Google has millions or trillions answers [09:20] ikonia, AlbinoGeek: for what its worth, my 12.04 minimal server install just finished, 915MB [09:20] it is a tube without stop [09:21] tell me something else [09:21] Agamemnon: You should only need the first page, unless you don't know the question to ask it. [09:21] Agamemnon: If you don't know the question to ask it, then you should start there. [09:21] install windows and stay there [09:21] what command I have to type here to go to another chat room related with llinux? [09:21] AlbinoGeek: can you give me a test that you are doing that performs poor, that I can run on my guest to compare [09:21] Agamemnon: You might get some audience in ##linux , if someone's bored. [09:22] ikonia: dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync performs 400+ MB/s on the host, ~30MB/s on the guest. [09:22] Agamemnon: what you're experiencing is probably a hackintosh problem, not a linux problem [09:22] That's a 1G artificial I/o test. [09:22] 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 0.670653 s, 1.6 GB/s [09:22] that's on the guest [09:22] I didn't understand why the chatrooms exist ,only for sex and talks for nothing worth? [09:22] As per mine... I managed to reboot and get stuck here : https://db.tt/pRDHpzMM , it hasn't moved in a few minutes. [09:23] ikonia, +1 [09:23] AlbinoGeek: you're just getting random here - you complained that your default install was 15 GB - I've just proved it's not, you complained you couldn't get Virto SCSI support, I just proved you could, you complained your IO was poor, I just proved mines good, now randomly you get a boot problem [09:23] Humm, what's the boot step immediately following where I'm stuck; that it's frozen on, I wonder.. [09:24] AlbinoGeek: do you not think you may be the common factor here [09:24] ikonia: Yes, I know; I am the one that gets random issues. [09:24] It's why I'm the QA over here :/. [09:24] AlbinoGeek: you don't sound like a good QA as your setup is wrong [09:24] AlbinoGeek: if your setup was right you'd get the same consistant results as everything else, the only different factor appears to be the guy at the keyboard [09:25] AlbinoGeek: you complain that things are "wrong" then each time I prove they are good you move to another complaint tha tyou've not mentioned before [09:25] ikonia: Not entirely sure, it's an Ubuntu 12.04.3 with almost all default options, the host machine is 4x 1TB / LSI MegaRAID 9271-4i w/ CacheVault ; Dual E5-2620 v2 ; guest has 24 cores and 8G of RAM assigned. I'm not entirely sure why I'm having any of these issues. [09:25] AlbinoGeek: I'd suggest a big part of this will be user error / lack of understanding [09:26] ikonia: Well, the 15 GB issue isn't an issue anymore. Obviously there was something messy with the template I'd had, as the fresh install here is much smaller, if I could get it to boot. [09:26] AlbinoGeek: eg: you claimed the default install is 15GB - it's not, we've just proven it, the only way it's not is if you hve done something wrong [09:26] AlbinoGeek: you complained you can't get virto support - I just proved it [09:26] AlbinoGeek: you then complained that it was IDE - even after I showed you it was on a scsi controller [09:26] AlbinoGeek: it appears your attention to detail isn't super [09:26] so I'd expect that there will be mistakes in your setup [09:26] or your expectations are not really valid [09:27] ikonia: No, it never has been; I have pretty low vision. My thing though, is that your disk should have shown up as sda* if it were the VirtIO SCSI host disk controller, which I've shown Ubuntu 12.04 can't find the disk with (in the installer at least.) [09:27] AlbinoGeek: no it shouldn't [09:27] Mine does in every other (non deb/ubu) distro :/. [09:27] AlbinoGeek: the virto controller displays it as vda [09:28] ikonia: https://db.tt/OF1Opfu7 ; sadly I can't copy-paste out of VNC [09:29] ikonia: That's on 13.10 , which has VirtIO SCSI host controller support. === barry__ is now known as barry [09:29] AlbinoGeek: lets pull up the docs rather than just guessing/assuming, one moment [09:31] ikonia: Sure. I'm using specifically the KVM option : -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -drive file=/var/lib/one//datastores/0/127/disk.0,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none === Xethron_ is now known as Xethron [09:31] Which works in 13.10 and other distros, but fails to boot Ubuntu 12.04 [09:31] AlbinoGeek: if you use a lighter desktop like LXDE instead of Gnome it will run pretty well if you are VMing. [09:32] In 12.04 , I'm forced to use the older -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/var/lib/one//datastores/0/133/disk.0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=none [09:32] ActionParsnip: I'm not using any GUI on either installation ? [09:32] AlbinoGeek: then that will be fine :) [09:32] AlbinoGeek: can you give me the full line you're using and I'll use exactly that but with the modifications for my env [09:32] AlbinoGeek: the full exact command [09:32] ikonia: Sure, it's a bit long though ; let me drop it in a pastebin. Do you have a prefered ? [09:32] AlbinoGeek: any pastebin you want [09:33] Ubuntu/linux newbie here. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS a few days ago. For some reason, my keyboard's caps lock is working the other way around. When switched ON, it types in lower case and vice versa [09:33] expert: I've seen this, gimme a sec [09:34] ikonia: This is specifically the one I use for CentOS 65 / ArchLinux / Gentoo / BSD / Ubuntu 13.10 : http://paste.linuxassist.net/view/2d5c5853 [09:34] AlbinoGeek: ok, I'm just reading this http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio [09:35] hi everyone, I just installed Ubuntu and I have a problem with my cd/dvd drive [09:35] AlbinoGeek: this official doc suggests that all virtio devices will be "vd$" [09:35] If I insert a dvd, I can not open die dvd === themill_ is now known as themill [09:35] what is the problme? [09:35] ikonia: Here's the one I use for 12.04 http://paste.linuxassist.net/view/242326f7 ; as the other doesn't boot. [09:35] \quit [09:35] ActionParsnip, thank you. i am waiting [09:36] johannes_: is the disk displayed in nautilus? [09:37] ikonia: Not sure, honestly; as all my other distros display sda* https://db.tt/2b2zQiIX [09:37] expert: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=64797 [09:37] johannes_: is it a movie dvd or does it just contain classic data you want to browser? [09:37] *browse* [09:37] expert: if you run that bash script, does it start behaving? [09:38] expert: if so, we can make it run at boot and make the caps lock behave [09:38] AlbinoGeek: I think I may see the issue [09:38] AlbinoGeek: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0 [09:38] * ActionParsnip hates caps lock keys [09:38] johannes_, install restricted extras, and install libdvdread4 and perform the install-css script >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [09:38] AlbinoGeek: you're actually not specifying the virtio device there, you're actually saying "scsi" [09:39] ActionParsnip, I have to run a bash script to correct caps lock behavior on a linux system? [09:39] AlbinoGeek: I can see earlier you load the virtio scsi - which is fine, but then you're telling the device to use the scsi module, not the virtio one [09:39] ok I am goining to try this [09:39] expert: its one fix... [09:39] ikonia: So, the issue is that Ubuntu doesn't support the "SCSI" controller as specified, or as KVM displays it? (at least, not in 12.04.3) ; it's rather confusing that everywhere I look at it, it's virtio. [09:39] AlbinoGeek: which sort of lines up with what I'm seeing on my hosts and that official document [09:40] AlbinoGeek: I think the confusion is the device and the module thats using it [09:40] ikonia: I tell it to use the SCSI controller, as the "virtio" alone does not support hotplugging. I can't just "add onto" that disk, resize it live, etc. [09:40] ActionParsnip, why do we even need a fix? why is it a problem? one keyboard! [09:40] AlbinoGeek: are you sure virtio doesn't support hot plugging I just added a virio device to my running machine and it appeared [09:41] AlbinoGeek: I really believe this line is key [09:41] Disk will show up as /dev/vd[a-z][1-9], if you migrate you need to change "root=" in Lilo/GRUB config [09:41] the official doc shows it as vda, and that ties in with what I'm seeing from my installs and my understanding of your command line [09:41] ikonia: Yeah see; if I add a new "vd" target device (ex: vdb) , it does not show in my /dev/ in any distro tested (Ubuntu 12.04.3 , CentOS 65; at the moment.) Even with a rescan. [09:42] ikonia: If I restart the guest, it picks it up; but not before (for me at least.) [09:42] Yet where with the SCSI, instantly the VNC is flooded with dmesg lines about it being attached, configured, etc. [09:42] AlbinoGeek: let me just confirm that and make sure I've not tricked myself [09:42] AlbinoGeek: but I think you're adding the virtio scsi contoller, (great) but then adding a sci disk, rather than the virtio disk [09:43] ikonia: I add a VirtIO SCSI controller, then explicitly add SCSI disks to the controller; so that they're picked up immediately in the guest. [09:44] ikonia: If I specify: DEV_PREFIX=vd TARGET=vda on my hotattach request, the disk is not picked up in the guest until I reboot it. [09:44] If I instead specify: DEV_PREFIX=sd TARGET=sdb it is picked up immediately. [09:44] !bd [09:44] Bangla te Ubuntu bishoyok alochonar jonno #ubuntu-bd te ashun. Dhonnobad! [09:45] AlbinoGeek: yeah, I see the limitations of attaching to a running machine [09:45] AlbinoGeek: ok, so I think we see the problem here, the problem is your lack of understanding/expectations [09:45] :P [09:45] ikonia: Yeah :( Which in a cloud platform, basically makes it useless as a distro to offer. [09:45] AlbinoGeek: you're complaining that virtio disks are not sd$ - but you're adding scsi disks, not virtio disks [09:45] 13.10 supports it, so that's fine. [09:46] which is not an unreasonable mistake to make [09:46] AlbinoGeek: ok, so perhaps in future, less ranting and bashing the distro, more so when it turns out it's your lack of understanding/research, next time, just explain the problem and people will work it through with you [09:47] ikonia: Well, I'm a cloud services provider. 12.04 not support hotplugging disks means I literally cannot use it. It's nice that 13.10 does; so at least I can say it's a versioning issue and not just discount Ubuntu entirely; but yeah. [09:47] hello anyone know how in ubuntu 13.10 i can install rar ? [09:47] ikonia: And yeah, I always resort to ranting by default when it comes to Ubuntu, as I've had far too much bad experience in the past with stupid things (like Unity, but I'm sure you guys hear enough about that already.) [09:48] AlbinoGeek: cloud servicing provider.....perhaps a little more research....

[09:49] AlbinoGeek: no problem, happy to help if you're clear on a problem willing to work it through, where as I'd have just switched off if you'd have carried on ranting [09:49] The "SCSI_DEBUG" driver shows a 8.4 MB drive, still not sure why that is.

[10:20] i get 10.42.0.1 on my ubuntu which be server [10:20] then 10.42.0.2-10.42.0.x on client [10:20] is possible to specify that ip address ? [10:20] troya: you will need to set it, there is no DHCP server [10:21] troya: so, as long as it is in a different subnet to the other network, it will work [10:21] expert: the system wasnt reporting the hostname to the DHCP server [10:21] ActionParsnip: that is work fine on me [10:21] i never configure dhcp server before [10:21] but client connected as well to server [10:22] is possible to change that ip address ? [10:22] because automatically ubuntu which be server have ip 10.42.0.1 [10:22] i want to change it to another [10:28] is there suggestion ? [10:30] any idea to configure specify ip address on network connection sharing on ubuntu ? [10:31] hi! why are some directories starting with a point? .cache for example [10:31] toxz: That indicates that its a hidden folder [10:31] toxz, that . makes the file/folder hidden [10:32] Hi Djones [10:32] ahh - if i create a folder i just put a . in front and it is hidden? === maxim is now known as Guest82761 [10:33] toxz: it's more just for application settings stored in ~/ so they don't look a mess beside all your actual personal data [10:34] there's no 'security' element to hiding them of course [10:35] any idea to give specify ip address when i try to "shared to another computer" ? [10:35] hello [10:35] toxz, "hidden" is the sense that "ls" is not printing them. "ls -a" and smth like "mc" does. so this is very good security [10:35] Lunar_LanderU, greetings [10:35] daftykins: yeah i see. if i compare console view and "explorer" view :-) [10:35] I got a question about Lubuntu 13.10 on my ThinkPad T23 (installed with FakePAE and I put a hold on the Savage video driver to update to 13.10) [10:35] Before I get to the desktop screen there's some flash of text as well as log-in via terminal, it wasn't there before when I had a fresh install of Xubuntu.

(firewalls blocking etc.) [11:45] (i help remotely my friend, what if the kernel upgrade crashes his whole htpc? :D travel 1000km to repair it? :D) i'm afraid to do that. [11:46] rigo88, worst case: reboot and use the older kernel version. *almost* always works [11:46] and how you mean "from repo"? not from the kernel.ubuntu.com site? [11:46] rigo88: you can install the kernel and retain the older one too. just choose the older one from grub if there's an issue [11:47] rigo88: no unbuntu repo has 3.2 3.5 3.8 and 3.11 kernels [11:47] rigo88: not long until XBMC's new version anyway ;) [11:48] than simply download from the site above and install it? [11:48] daftykins: updates are disabled so i guess there will be no change on the machine after new xbmc release [11:48] rigo88: no automatic change, no [11:48] hitsujiTMO: that is default, kernels are not autopmatically uninstalled === mudo_ is now known as mudo [11:50] ActionPa1snip: yes, he's worried that the newer kernel would prevent the system from booting . just pointing out that that's the behaviour so there's nothing to worry about [11:54] AttributeError: 'gi.repository.GObject' object has no attribute 'constants' anyone can help?

[12:03] cfhowlett:I just wanna run playonlinux.. [12:04] hi, I want cache requests from all my VMs, I was looking at Squid - does Squid cache also cache apt packages, php composer etc [12:04] redsquare, seems your playonlinux things the launch app is imagemagick. change the properties. [12:04] cfhowlett:Change it to ? [12:05] eaj: squid tends to cache files below a certain threshold size that you set [12:05] redsquare, put playonlinux in a terminal and see if it launches [12:06] $ ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr [12:06] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:48:BA:d1:20 [12:06] sorry [12:06] [main] Message: PlayOnLinux (4.2.1) is starting [12:06] [clean_tmp] Message: Cleaning temp directory [12:06] [POL_System_CheckFS] Message: Checking filesystem for /home/redsquare/.PlayOnLinux/ [12:06] [main] Message: Filesystem is compatible [12:06] redsquare: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:07] I apologise. [12:08] hello I set up a proxy when I installed ubuntu at school but now that I want to use the same virtual machine at home cant find the proxy config file [12:08] etc/environment is empty [12:08] but I am having problems updating system [12:09] what is it, virtualbox and you copied the disk image? [12:09] no [12:09] why not just install fresh? [12:09] @daftykins: oh I see, so does that mean I can increase the size to be bigger & it would then cache more? [12:09] because it is a webserver I want to use as a DC installing samba4 [12:10] how do I remove the proxy config?¿ [12:10] eaj: yep, for example years ago when i used to use a transparent squid cache proxy on my LAN, i set it higher than the old winzip download installer, then it would serve me that over LAN if i went to get it again ;) [12:10] @daftykins: the issue is, I keep rebuilding lots of VMs locally all the time & it keeps downloading lots of packages from various sources (apt, composer, pear etc) each time [12:10] @daftykins: ok great, thanks [12:10] eaj: sounds like it'd make more sense to run a local APT mirror instead of that [12:10] You can use an apt cache server [12:10] if you have a spare box + disk space [12:11] @dfatykins I thought of that, but it is not just for apt [12:11] @daftykins: apt is part of it, but there is php composer, js bower packages too ....etc [12:11] cloneG: still failing to see why you don't clean install [12:12] external disk space¿?

[12:53] again [12:53] Tom1: if you make a fresh user, is it the same? [12:53] Minnen: look at the "No package" lines, you need to install those packages before compiling...they are unmet dependencies. [12:53] cloneG: you're going to want to "sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/Release.gpg" [12:53] didn;t get you?

( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [12:54] havent tried that yet [12:54] it crashes with my me [12:55] Tom1: if the new user is ok, we know that the OS is fine and that some setting in your config is the issue [12:55] cloneG: "sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/Release.gpg" btw. don't do any testdownloads into system-directories [12:55] phil-ns > i look for them in synaptic, USC and also in google but i couldnt find them [12:55] ok i'll try that later , it means my configuration are wrong?

[12:58] toxz: in vim, not in the shell [12:58] cloneG: no just a side-note [12:58] toxz: yes because you do it in vi / vim [12:58] :-D [12:58] that makes sense [12:58] ActionPa1snip: what do you mean re. the command? the pon nodetach command? [12:58] toxz: the issue is in vi / vim, so you do it there ..... [12:58] like when i open libreoffice presentation software, its crashes and everything freezes, then i have to hard boot the computer. [12:59] pcnerd: no idea about that one, sorry [12:59] cloneG: no >_< that was the file you downloaded earlier when i asked you to test 'wget' but in your last pastebin link it shows an error for that file being there. so delete it. [12:59] Tom1: try a new user as a first step [12:59] architecture of the pc_ [12:59] will it work? [12:59] Tom1: no idea, try it [13:00] ok thanks for the solution, i will try.

How do i install it simultaneously to all the computers. [13:23] with all my customisation and other settings [13:23] make 10 CDs? :) [13:23] 10 computers may change to 100 computers, i really need some way to save time [13:23] jumpstart! [13:23] i mean kickstart! [13:23] kkkkkkkk: PXE then [13:24] daftykins: i am confused, please guide, i mean, there are pxe, netboot, parallel something, [13:24] ActionPa1snip: Didn't fix it! =[ [13:24] daftykins: how to install using PXE on all computers, all at once [13:25] you could install on one, image it to the others [13:25] Ben64: yes, i want the same, how to do that [13:25] is there any need to have same hardware on all systems [13:26] i've never done it, but in theory you could pxe boot some small linux client, and have them all use netcat to listen for the image, and have one act as the server and send the image out broadcast to all computers on the network, and they'd all write the image at once [13:28] isn't it possible to use PXE on all the instances u want to install [13:28] ? [13:29] i suppose, if it doesn't require user input [13:29] Ben64: i am confused [13:29] ohhh Ben64 i didn't see that request he doesnt want to interact during installation [13:30] well i'm guessing he doesn't, 100 computers would take a while [13:30] Ben64: i just want to install simulataneously on all computers, without installing it one by one to all [13:30] right [13:31] now, what is the easiest way,except one by one to install [13:31] ;) [13:31] yes but it's not clear what u mean by 'simoultaneously' [13:31] i described how i would do it above [13:32] it can take 2 hours. I will adjust. But install should be simultaneously to all [13:32] Take apart the hdds and ghost them [13:32] I mean, gather them all and then ghost them [13:33] hex20dec: ghost will work on any type of hardware? [13:33] Yep [13:33] i never used ghost [13:33] Well [13:33] Since it's linux it would [13:33] kkkkkkkk: sounds like you want to do a multicast ghost? only software i know of that does this is symantec ghost [13:33] why not netcat like i already suggested? :| [13:33] hex20dec: thanks, but symantec ghost is not free, i think [13:34] is it possible to give a user root access without being forced to use sudo? i know its not recommended but I want to do it anyway [13:34] is it possible to start nautilus without the sidebar. [13:34] If you're going to be doing it on100 pcs, you must make some money. I guess you can affort it, no? [13:34] =P [13:34] wessman: there is no good reason to not use sudo [13:34] kkkkkkkk: 30 day trial for the ghost suite :P [13:35] There you go, kkkkkkkk ^ [13:35] hitsujiTMO: well, this is nice , one more question [13:35] or, netcat.... installable on any linux system [13:36] kkkkkkkk: I think you want pxe + preseed [13:36] Ben64: thanks, i will take a look at netcat and ghost [13:36] kkkkkkkk: oh.. that kind of install. look for clonezilla. [13:36] Ben64, I would like to create a temporary ftp account that has all rights to /var/www/ but I dont want the apache/www-group to have this. The easiest way I could come up with was a temp root account and use SSHFTP [13:37] clonezilla, ghost, pxe, netcat, i am confused guys [13:37] Oh wow, I didn't know clonezilla has multicast [13:37] Lol [13:37] I feel bad for kkkkkkkk. There are a lot of solutions, you'll need to do you homework and see what's best for you.

I was on Arch Linux before, I mean on the older system. They worked on Pentium Dual Core G2020.. I think that I will download the ones from Intel site. [14:25] hello [14:27] I have a question: in ubuntu maverick, when I ran sudo, the password was somehow saved for some minutes, when I opened another terminal after say 3 minutes, I did not need to enter the password again.

[14:53] did it ever run fast on it? [14:54] Is it okay to point sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com, and if so, does it happen to automatically select an appropriate mirror? [14:54] deinspanjer: yes and no. [14:55] Pici: thank you very much. Does there happen to exist an easy way to get apt to automatically select a mirror in an unattended fashion? I'm setting up a VM that provisions itself with puppet. === JordanJ2 is now known as Jordan === Jordan is now known as Guest51194 [14:59] And one more question. I am thinking of moving /var/cache/apt/archives out of the VM into a shared directory on the host so that packages used by provisioning won't have to be re-downloaded whenever the VM is rolled back. Would a simple simlink be appropriate or is there some config setting that I should change instead?

[15:07] Pici: I read about that, but I didn't really want to bother setting up an apache endpoint. This is a very specific and small need. I just want to persist downloaded packages between VM wipes. I'm using Vagrant, so by default, I have a shared folder in the VM named /vagrant that maps back to the vagrant project directory on the host. So I was just thinking about symlinking /var/cache/apt/archives to /vagrant/.cache [15:10] Hi. What modules need to be installed in order to use usb drives?

I've formatted an external hard drive with ext3 === aaron is now known as Guest36938 [19:12] but I can't seem to write in it, it tells me I have no permission to do so [19:12] that's my mount output: /dev/sdb1 on /media/Backup type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) [19:12] any idea? [19:13] apparently it's being mounted as root === Guest36938 is now known as whaledriver [19:13] that means your system don't find your device [19:14] do your user is a sudoer? [19:14] @lorenzo do your user is a sudoer? [19:15] yes it is [19:15] SonikkuAmerica: so again I am concerned about creating a problem where one doesnt exist. I am not debating or questioning your knowledge as i have none, just stating what took place previously doing what ( i think) you are describing [19:15] rustuptwist: Do you need all the primary partitions you currently have? [19:16] ok try that command [19:16] ls /media [19:16] tell me the answer [19:16] SonikkuAmerica: only the one that houses win7 as i want to keep win7 on the laptop and have ability to boot Ubuntu and or win7 [19:16] rustuptwist, I have a computer that is triple booting and has no issues. [19:17] tortue, hold on I'm trying to reformat the drive [19:17] rustuptwist, linux, win 7 and win 8. that means there are at least 4 partitions on that machine. [19:17] rustuptwist: What do the other primary partitions have in them? === snor2 is now known as snorlax [19:17] lorenzo, your drive should not be mounted for reformating [19:18] drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 gen 29 20:17 Backup [19:18] for some reason Ubuntu is mounting the drive as root [19:18] sudormrf: the thing is the LiveCD will not allow an install 'alongside; win7 as it did on my sons hp pavilion dv2000. the text on this says 'inside' not alongside. we dont want that [19:18] SonikkuAmerica: nothing to my knowledge. whatever win7 puts in them by default [19:19] Does anybody have any idea why rofs take up so much disk space on ubuntu liveUSB? [19:19] My disk analyzer shows 100% usage! [19:19] Probably just MSRs or something then. Are they each about 350 MB in size? === JoshuaP-afk is now known as JoshuaP [19:19] rustuptwist: ^ [19:19] cause maybe the last time you used it on ubuntu you did with the sudo command @lorenzo === arjun is now known as Guest63595 [19:19] rustuptwist, which version? [19:19] rustuptwist, of ubuntu, that is. === Oliver_ is now known as Oliver_AFK [19:20] SonikkuAmerica: SYSTEM 199mb, C: 297.37gb, D: (recovery) 14.56gb, E: (HP TOOLS) 3.97GB (fat32) previous are all ntfs except E: [19:20] tortue, I'm running chown to fix it [19:20] rustuptwist, http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/05/17/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7/ [19:20] sudormrf: 12.04.03 [19:20] rustuptwist, that will tell you how to setup the partitions manually. [19:20] lorenzo, it is a good idea [19:21] lorenzo@derrida:~$ sudo chown -R lorenzo /media/Backup/ [19:21] this worked :D [19:21] Hi all. I've followed the Wiki article on how to set up a NFSv4 server on Ubuntu and created a "pseudo filesystem" under /export, but now I want to make some hardlinks between two of the "bind" mounts under /export. This apparently isn't working since the two bind mounts are seen as different filesystems: "Invalid cross-device link". Is there any other way around this? Details: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=3nft8WL4 [19:21] ok, great [19:21] thx [19:21] sudormrf: while booted in win7 or ubuntu? [19:21] rustuptwist: Probably inside Ubuntu. [19:21] rustuptwist, that page shows you everything you need. I have used that guide more than once. [19:22] rustuptwist, from inside ubuntu === bfiller_afk is now known as bfiller [19:23] ok, I have a HP_LaserJet_2035 at my office, I connect it to an ubuntu system and the installation was perfect but now when I try to print something, nothing happens === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [19:24] I have a question regarding the latest wallpaper contest - Can anybody help me?

Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [19:27] amel, try the doc of ubuntu [19:27] the doc? [19:28] amel: what did you try and what went wrong? [19:28] ok, I have a HP_LaserJet_2035 at my office, I connect it to an ubuntu system and the installation was perfect but now when I try to print something, nothing happens [19:28] sudormrf: rustuptwist That guide - "How to dual-boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7" - is no good for rustuptwist's PC, since HP have configured it with all 4 primary MBR partitions in use. [19:28] ok, I have a HP_LaserJet_2035 at my office, I connect it to an ubuntu system and the installation was perfect but now when I try to print something, nothing happens [19:28] could somebody help me please [19:28] I've done all I know yet [19:29] i tried installing from the official nvidia site.. that didnt work.. then i used the terminal to install the drivers. laptops seems to install them but after rebooting i get a black screen. [19:29] with the lp command [19:29] plus the nvidia x server isnt giving me ANY options [19:29] amel: well make sure you remove the bad driver from the side first [19:30] amel: first was is always to try the ubuntu driver and not load stuff from any page. that is a bad windows habbit [19:30] amel, it will not work cause nvidia doesn't accept Linus's condition [19:30] tortue: stop that [19:30] trotube helpful in here or be quiet [19:30] Hello all. This is my first time here. I have been a win server administrator/network admin for years, but just starting to really get into linux/ubuntu. I am trying to install an web application that runs on PHP, but it does not run, and I don't know what to do to figure out how to get it to go. [19:31] I'll make a search something for you wait a minute [19:31] TJ-, why wouldn't it work if he/she resized one of the partitions on the machine? [19:31] I am looking for help and/or in instructor to be able to get it to work and to teach me more about ubuntu. === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [19:31] sudormrf: Even if one partition is resized, there is no *free* slot to put an Extended partition. [19:32] k1l i didnt first try downloading from the ofificial site.. and there were no ubuntu drivers :/ [19:32] !nvidia | amel [19:32] amel: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [19:32] amel, do you have synaptic? [19:32] when i used elementary os luna it actually found my gfx card.. but ubuntu doesnt seem too [19:32] amel: nvidia-current is the driver made working with ubuntu. [19:33] are you saying that linux doesnt support my card? [19:33] yes it is [19:33] Is Apache 2.4 by default only accepting *.conf files for virtualhosts or is a customization of Ubuntu? [19:33] amel: no. i say use the nvidia-current driver [19:33] sudormrf: Last week we had to fix a similar PC of rustuptwist's, which involved us copying an existing file-system into free-space at the end of the drive so we could delete a partition slot, insert an Extended, add a logical, and then copy the file-system back into the logical. This needs the same process, but is more complicated [19:33] yeahi do have synpatic [19:33] cause nvidia don't want to deal with linux but you can find an issue [19:33] sudo apt-get nvidia-current??? [19:34] Does any one know of an updated hybrid graphics script? [19:34] amel: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [19:35] whaledriver this is a good forum but if you kinda want an ubuntu cheat sheet on issues search youtube! [19:35] amel: if that gives some errors use pastebin to show the errors to us. i am some minutes away from computer now [19:35] k1l tried that already... all it did was install the nvidia x server but thats about it.. i dont have any options on the x server [19:36] go to the synaptic [19:36] plus it shows no proprietary drivers [19:37] go to the synaptic and type nvidia in the searchbox [19:37] kil What does this command do? "!nvidia | amel"! [19:37] maujsn i dont think thats a command [19:38] TJ-: got disco'ed you still there [19:38] it is not a command but you will find some packages that concern nvidia [19:38] k1l What does this command do? "!nvidia | amel"! [19:38] like the nvidia-current [19:39] rustuptwist: yes, but busy with dinner right now. Were you able, from Windows, to shrink the C volume? [19:40] On old distros like "10.04" the new nvidia is a pain in the kneck! [19:40] TJ-: no didnt try cause it was (supposdedly) DEFRAGGING for the last 24+ hours. [19:40] TJ-: im back at that screen about to give it another go. [19:40] Does anybody have any idea why rofs take up so much disk space on ubuntu liveUSB? [19:40] My disk analyzer shows 100% usage! [19:41] TJ-: i'll be here for a bit. Enjoy your dinner, him me up when your done [19:42] rustuptwist: It sounds is if the Windows install on it has some problems, too! ... Do you have any external USB storage devices of 16GB or more? === bogdan is now known as bogi- [19:42] amel, I sent you a file that show how you can find a package for nvidia [19:42] after removing the r8168-dkms package, i'm finding that the r8169 module isn't been automatically loaded at boot up anymore. any ideas what would be causing this? === aschro_ is now known as aschro [19:43] TJ-: no i dont [19:43] wrouesnel, try to reinstall the package you've been removed [19:43] but i can maybe get my son to pick one up on his way home. 16gb is enough? [19:43] after i installed sudo apt-get install nvidia-current it says current is already installed... thanks im opening it up now.. hopefully it helps [19:44] tortue: that works, but r8168 has been causing issues so I want to try the kernel driver instead. but something evidently got switched around. [19:44] rustuptwist: OK, looks like - if you can get the Windows C partition to shrink - that you'll have to do the same procedure as last week to back-up one of the smaller recovery file-systems. [19:45] rustuptwist: Actually, as "E: (HP TOOLS) 3.97GB (fat32)" a 4GB USB storage would be sufficient [19:45] anyone got an suggestion how can I solve this error (error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) .. im on 12.04 [19:45] rustuptwist: All you need is enough space to move the smallest file-system out of the way so you can create an extended partition [19:45] amel, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVIDIA#Documentation_and_drivers [19:45] TJ-: i have a brand new 4gb and an 8gb [19:46] TJ-: ok finish your dinner, i am here. [19:46] rustuptwist: That's great, are you able to over-write one of those completely? [19:46] hello guys, I've just broken something with ccsm... now the window title doesn't want to integrate with this top-panel [19:46] is there any way to restore default configuration? [19:46] rustuptwist: I'll ping you once I've finished dinner [19:46] in ubuntu? [19:46] @bts`` [19:46] yes [19:47] anyone? [19:48] what do you really want to do exactly? If I knew the history of you activity maybe I'd find an idea [19:48] NuSuey, yes === zz_whitenite is now known as whitenite [19:49] tortue: I wanna run prismatik (http://lightpack.tv/downloads) .. but I get this error === mnepton is now known as mneptok [19:49] torture, so theres basically not much we can do now until nvidia realizes that the linux community is growing and well be a big part of gaming one day? [19:50] from what ive read they only dropped us xorg... not the the officialdrivers.. correct me if im wrong [19:50] amel, verify if you have the nv package [19:51] ah guess you werent talking to me then [19:51] torture, i have nvidia x server.. but thats about it [19:51] torture,no proprietary drivers are found tho [19:52] it supposed to be at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so [19:54] Torture, yeah i have nv_drv.so [19:56] torture, yeah i have nv_drv.so [19:57] tortue, yeah i have nv_drv.so [19:57] ok [19:58] wait a minute [19:58] ok [19:59] hello [20:00] i have a question...witch is the best server mail on linux?

[20:31] hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me with tunneling. I am using university internet so all of the ports are blocked when i check them with tools online, but I can obviously use the internet so I know there's SOME way to get to the web. I am trying to ssh into my machine from elsewhere so i'm trying to set up tunneling to go through a port that IS open. Has anyone had experience with this? [20:31] k1l, what am i supposed to do? [20:31] amel: "pastebinit /var/log/apt/term.log" [20:32] amel: i am still on the search where the problem might be [20:32] does anyone know when cannonical [20:32] does anyone know when canonical will release their ubuntu phone? [20:33] stoeptegel: so far no date mentioned. [20:33] Abbott what advice does the university admin have for you? [20:33] k1l: Are you trying to figure out why NVidia X Settings isn't showing any configuration tabs? [20:33] ok, thank you :) [20:33] !phone | stoeptegel [20:33] stoeptegel: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [20:34] My college network uses PEAP/MSCHAPv2 authentication without a certificate, and when I boot up to the login screen, it attempts to authenticate, something happens where it requests the password and subsequently asks to ignore the cert. All of these credentials are already specified and saved in nm's connections. If I can get my (ubuntu account) login typed fast enough, I can bypass this whole action, and network-manger authenticates using the crede [20:34] ntials it already knows, without further input. Basically, I want to make it so that either nm waits until login to attempt authentication, or can access all needed credentials without account login, safely. Because otherwise, while I'm trying to type my account password, I get prompted for wifi login credentials, which is both annoying and unneeded. [20:34] TJ-: yes. i did look if the headers are installed and now if the package did install without any issue. [20:34] k1l did u want me to also send the pastebinit /var/log etc... [20:34] anyone here good with wireless cards? [20:35] Wiz_KeeD: come on. you were here often so you know that this questions dont help anyone [20:35] k1l: According to the "dpkg -l nvidia*" pastebin, the versions are different: "nvidia-setting 331.38-0ubun..." versus 304 for the drivers [20:35] !details | Wiz_KeeD [20:35] Wiz_KeeD: Please give us full details.

[20:38] rustuptwist: Yes. [20:38] amel: do a "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*" to remove all nvidia stuff. there is some mixeup from the different versions [20:38] K1l: ok doing it now [20:38] rustuptwist: I assume Windows refused to Shrink the volume? [20:39] I'm thinking it's an issue with there being no certificate, because nm logs into my home network using WPA at the account login screen just fine. [20:39] TJ-: you got it :( [20:39] amel: after that do a "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" and show it again please [20:39] rustuptwist: Grrrr! Let's hope the volume isn't too fragmented for gparted to be able to shrink it using the NTFS tools [20:40] k1l: amel: might need to ensure the xorg-edgers PPA is removed, if that's not already been done [20:40] TJ-: no i ran a program called defragger and it said it was 'good' [20:40] TJ-: he didnt say he used a ppa but loaded the driver direct from nvidia hp [20:40] rustuptwist: OK ... that doesn't mean that all the fragments have been moved to the start of the file-system though, it only means there is minimal break-up of clusters [20:40] defragger ??? [20:41] k1l: yeah, bad communications the bane of remote support :) [20:41] TJ-: ok in ubuntu desktop now [20:41] ok guys ill send it as soon as it finnishes [20:42] rustuptwist: I'm trying to recall how we start it manually.... I think you need to press Alt+F2, then type "gksudo gparted" [20:43] How do I test the limit of the wireless card itself, It seems much slower than my previous one and I don't know if it's because of the encoding or something else [20:43] I dont know where to start basically [20:44] TJ-: ok gparted is showing 4 sda's and 1 unallocated (1mb) [20:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840042/ [20:46] rustuptwist: Select the 279GB NTFS file-system and shrink it to 179GB if it will [20:46] k1l dpkg -l | grep nvidia wont work [20:46] nothing comes up [20:46] amel: ok [20:46] Wiz_KeeD: Try some of these monitoring tools: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-find-out-wireless-network-speed-signal-strength.html [20:46] Thank you TJ- ! [20:46] amel: then install the "nvidia-current" again [20:47] TJ-: USING resize/move under Partition menu? [20:47] amel: then "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" again to look if the versions do match to each other. [20:47] amel: i am away now for some time [20:47] hi [20:47] rustuptwist: You have eyes-on, I don't, and haven't used that in ages, so you'll need to figure that out [20:47] k1l: TJ mentiond something about xorg edgers.. how should i know if its removed? [20:47] rustuptwist: but that sounds correct [20:47] anybody has any idea what's the difference between packages nvidia-331-updates && nvidia-331 ? [20:48] apofis: possibly minor version numbers? [20:48] amel: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" [20:48] thank you [20:48] TJ-: nah they provide same stuff, same version [20:50] TJ-: align to: MIB or 'cylinder' [20:51] rustuptwist: MiB ... aka Megabytes [20:51] mibibytes ** [20:52] TJ-: ok new size reads: 179070 Free space following: (MiB): 107000 [20:52] TJ-: confirm and i'll click resize/move button [20:53] TJ: can you please check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840089/ [20:53] rustuptwist: Great! apply that change if you haven't already, and then you can exit from gparted [20:54] I got the data TJ- but not many ideas on what to do with it, also I doesn't snoop around my low speed to what I should get :( [20:54] amel: Looks like you've managed to install them from xorg-edgers again, was that your intention? Because it has installed a different version of nvidia-settings once again === Atlantic777 is now known as nesa962 [20:54] TJ-: gparted says 1 operation pending... [20:54] MonkeyDust I don't think we are allowed to have servers on campus so I doubt he would offer me advice [20:54] TJ: No i just did what K1l told me to do :( [20:55] Wiz_KeeD: focus on signal to noise ratio to being with, if the local radio waves are noisy that won't be so good, which is one reason for bad performance [20:55] rustuptwist: Yes, you have to "Apply" the changes you 'queue up' - that's to prevent casual mistakes [20:56] amel: OK, do you want the latest nvidia driver (331)? reasons for that would be a recent nvidia chipset, or to workaround bugs in older driver versions [20:56] TJ: i want the most recent one or any that work please [20:57] Abbott so you're asking for advice on how to do something that is not allowed [20:57] TJ-: done [20:58] amel: OK, to be safe, remove the v304 packages to begin with: "sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-304" [20:58] rustuptwist: OK, exit gparted, then start a Terminal session (Alt+Ctrl+T) [20:59] hello [20:59] TJ-: ok done, ready [20:59] TJ: i removed it, now what? [21:00] how can i install gcc, avr-gcc and avdude w/o bash [21:00] Abbott: You'd need to set up a reverse-HTTP tunnel from your internal PC to an external PC, and the relay/proxy in from the external PC [21:00] how can i install gcc, avr-gcc and avrdude w/o bash [21:00] rustuptwist: Insert the 8GB USB storage [21:00] hello, anyone? [21:00] why do you not have bash [21:00] amel: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331" and pastebin the results please [21:00] what shell do you have ? [21:02] i don't want to use bash, because i am familiar to the fedora packaging system and now moved to ubuntu. === whitenite is now known as zz_whitenite [21:02] rustuptwist: let's find out what device node the USB is: "tail -n 200 /var/log/kern.log | grep sd?" [21:02] bash is a shell - it's the same on fedora [21:02] muessigb: do you mean you want to use a gui ? [21:02] i know it works with apt-get, but doesn't the software center include gcc... [21:02] muessigb: the software center has the same packages as apt - it's the same database [21:02] know my fault [21:03] but i cant find any c compilers in the software center [21:03] rustuptwist: please pastebin the output of that command [21:03] muessigb: they are there [21:03] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840134/ [21:03] muessigb: "gcc" in the "devel" section [21:04] i'm using ubuntu in virtual machine [21:04] TJ-: gotta get net connection for it just a min [21:04] muessigb: that makes no difference [21:04] amel: OK, check if the module has bee auto-loaded: "lsmod | grep nvidia" [21:04] clear [21:05] amel: OK, insert it: "sudo modprobe nvidia" [21:05] amel: Then "sudo tail /var/log/kern.log" and you should messages that indicate the nvidia kernel module loaded [21:06] ok. the point is, that i wated to "make" a c bootloader for the atmega and that didn't worked on windows 7 so i tried linux. well when i search for gcc i only get messages viewer [21:06] muessigb: there is no point in that comment [21:06] TJ: when i put lsmod | grep nvidia nothing comes out [21:06] muessigb: you want a c compiler you've just been told where it is [21:07] TJ-, a reverse HTTP tunnel would mean an outgoing connection from my internal computer right? and would I only be able to access the server from a specific computer if I were to do it this way? I would like to be able to access my server from any computer with an internet connection === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [21:07] oh... i left the softwarecenter window alone, and then 10 mins later it's displaying gnu c compiler :D [21:08] amel: hmmm, it might be using a slightly different name: "sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -type f -name 'nvidia*' " [21:08] thanks, anyways [21:08] clear [21:08] sorry about the clear lol [21:09] Abbott: Yes, if the firewall prevents any other connections that's the only way. You can configure a VPS with the proxy/relay which you connect to from your roving PC [21:09] amel: I think it will be "nvidia_331" [21:10] I will start reading into it. Do you have any specific programs you would suggest I look at for setting this up? [21:10] ah well one more thing [21:13] Abbott: "stunnel" would be the best bet, to set up a TLS tunnel on port 443 of your remote proxy/relay server that the internal PC connects out to. [21:13] TJ: nothing comes up when i add sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -type f -name 'nvidia* [21:13] amel: "uname -r" [21:15] amel: According to the installation output it installed to "/lib/modules/3.11.0-15-generic/updates/dkms/" so check that directory. Or take a punt on "sudo modprobe nvidia_331 && lsmod | grep nvidia" [21:15] how do i access this channel via a web browser? [21:15] rustuptwist: Is the PC connected to the network now? [21:16] TJ-: yes need channel address [21:16] rustuptwist: Then you can install xchat with "sudo apt-get install xchat" [21:17] hello I got tis https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187 [21:17] Ubuntu bug 993187 in linux (Ubuntu Precise) "ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently." [Critical,Fix released] [21:17] is it resolved? [21:17] TJ: it is in the directory [21:17] i see bbswitch.ko and nvidia_331.ko [21:18] amel: "sudo modprobe nvidia_331 && lsmod | grep nvidia" === stephen is now known as Guest43999 [21:19] TJ-: unable to locate package xcaht [21:19] xchat [21:19] TJ: i did it now what [21:19] amel: It is loaded, so start the display manager :) [21:20] rustuptwist: Ahhh OK, it's in the universe repository... I thought that was enabled in the Live environment though [21:20] rustuptwist: which version of Ubuntu is that? 12.04 ? [21:20] yes [21:20] TJ: sorry im a noob but how do i start the display manager... im not quiet sure i know what u mean [21:21] lol [21:21] amel: The display manager is the process that starts the GUI ... "sudo service lightdm start" [21:21] how do i acess this channel via the web === Wheelman is now known as Centrino [21:22] TJ: its says job is already running: lightdm [21:22] rustuptwist: Not sure, I think you'd need a Java applet, unless there's something in HTML5 + Javascript [21:23] rustuptwist: http://webchat.freenode.net/ <-- no need for java [21:23] rustuptwist: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=zipit [21:23] amel: "sudo service lightdm restart" [21:25] hey all [21:25] on 13.10, when I start up [21:25] after the ubuntu splash screen [21:25] it says "no suitable kernel module found [fail]" [21:25] and x shuts down [21:25] has anyone run into this? [21:26] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840242/ [21:26] it works in recovery mode [21:27] rustuptwist: OK, so the USB is /dev/sdb ... it has a partition on it so lets get info on it: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" [21:27] samertm: while attempting to boot x, can you ALT F2 and get to a root terminal? [21:27] "No suitable module for running kernel found" [21:28] yes, I can get to the TTYs [21:28] phil-ns [21:28] samertm: mabye its grub, maybe it has no kernels listed [21:28] could try update-grub at the terminal [21:28] phil-ns: okay. from the tty or from the grub terminal? [21:29] from the tty [21:29] TJ-: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 128 15390269 7695071 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) [21:29] watch its output, see what kernels it lists [21:30] phil-ns: it lists "Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-15-generic \n Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-15-generic", and it also lists the kernel 3.11.0-12-generic [21:30] rustuptwist: OK, "sudo dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=100M" .... and wait until it has finished copying [21:31] Is there any way to have a bash script run after a Bluetooth device connects [21:31] samertm: does that match what grub is showing you at boot? [21:31] phil-ns: yes [21:31] boo [21:31] yah D: [21:31] the weird part is that it sometimes works [21:32] like, the 3.11.0-15 kernel never worked [21:32] Bray90820: Yes, using udev... you'd want to add a script in "/etc/udev/rules.d/" [21:32] but sometimes 3.11.0-12 worked [21:32] but it isn't anymore [21:32] and yesterday I restarted a bunch of times using "sudo shutdown -r now" [21:32] and then 3.11.0-12 worked [21:32] but I tried that today and it keeps crashing [21:32] TJ-: would i just ad the commands to that file [21:32] samertm: you can get X in recovery tho right? [21:33] on Ubuntu 13.10 I'm setting up a dual monitor system,, one monitor through my DVI port , the other through my serial port. The computer sees both monitor but only displays on the one through the serial port. Can I correct this? [21:33] samertm: if so, you could install and run boot-repair [21:33] With the opensource ATI graphics driver, how do I turn off the discrete(ATI) graphics chip? the fglrx driver crashes unity. [21:33] phil-ns: okay [21:33] thanks for the help :D [21:33] TJ-: it's a directory so then would i just add the file to the directory? [21:33] Bray90820: No, you'd add a udev config file in that directory that matches the ID of the bluetooth device, and on the ADD event, runs your custom shell script [21:34] TJ-: i am kinda a nube [21:34] Bray90820: "man udev" and see the section "Rules files"; use that as a basis for searching for examples on the web [21:35] Bray90820: "udev" is the userspace device daemon, it receives device events from the Linux kernel and acts on them [21:35] TJ-: Well i am not even sure if this is what i want [21:36] I'll enplane my issue [21:36] Toph: I don't know of any PC that displays video output on a serial port! I suspect you really mean a VGA port (15-pin d-sub connector) [21:36] TJ-,,, sorry,, i do mean a VGA port [21:37] phil-ns: I found a similar problem on askubuntu [21:37] Thank you very much TJ-! [21:37] they said that they had to remove the fglrx-legacy driver [21:37] Toph: System Settings > Displays [21:37] and I'm using an ATI card [21:37] here goes nothing~ [21:38] TJ-,,, yes,, i followed online suggestions there.. without any luck [21:38] I have a bash script for the scrolling on my Wireless mouse and i basically want it to run at start up. If i set it to run at start up it doesn't work because i need to click a button on the mouse to get ubuntu to recognize it === patmanRR is now known as pattakosn [21:39] TJ-: that last command wasnt downloading anything from net was it? [21:39] rustuptwist: the "sudo dd ..."? no, it is copying the 3.97GB sda4 over to the USB [21:40] TJ-: I have a bash script for the scrolling on my Wireless mouse and i basically want it to run at start up. If i set it to run at start up it doesn't work because i need to click a button on the mouse to get ubuntu to recognize it [21:40] TJ-: ok didnt think so, had to restart net connection [21:41] Bray90820: by 'startup' do you mean after the mouse has connected? [21:41] I meny when i start the computer [21:42] TJ-: finished copying [21:42] It seems like whenever I wget something on my ubuntu server it's corrupt [21:42] I have no idea what's going on [21:42] TJ-: i ment when i start the computer [21:42] Bray90820: It is possible to call custom scripts from "/etc/rc.local" at start-up, that is the last script-file to be processed. [21:42] TJ-: 40+1 records in 40+1 records out 4260716544 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 559.922 s, 7.6 MB/s [21:43] rustuptwist: OK ... now let's ensure there is no corruption; we'll generate a hash which must be identical on both: "sudo md5sum /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb1" [21:44] TJ-: i know how to start a bash script at startup but if i do that then the script fails because I need to click a button on my mouse for it to be recognized [21:44] rustuptwist: That'll take a few minutes, but the 2 lines should contain identical MD5 hash values... if so, we can go ahead with manipulating the partition table [21:44] TJ-: ok [21:44] phil-ns: turns out that x crashes when I sign in through recovery mode [21:45] Bray90820: So, the mouse won't have connected at that point. That was why I asked. Is it the case that pressing the button on the mouse causes it to connect to the PC? [21:45] but it takes me back to lightdm [21:45] ciao [21:46] !list [21:46] Vince74: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [21:46] TJ-: from the information i can find apparently it's in sort of a sleep state [21:49] Bray90820: why not add the script to your session 'Startup Applications'? [21:49] Bray90820: I suspect then that it does a bluetooth connect when you press the button, which takes us back to using udev. You can monitor it to find out. Have the mouse off/disconnected/asleep, then at a terminal do "udevadm monitor --kernel --property --subsystem-match=bluetooth" and then connect/wake the mouse. You should see a bunch of events which tell you what is happening. It it is connecting, you can use those as the basis of a udev rules file in "/etc/udev/ [21:49] rules.d/" that will execute your own script [21:50] Hi, i'm trying to upgrade my ubuntu 12.04 but when i do do-release-upgrade i get an error : "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade." how can i find out what's going on ? [21:50] glitsj16: The script will fail because it the mouse isn't really connected [21:51] Bray90820: you can programmatically let it click the button you need with xdotool [21:51] TJ-: the two numbers are different, vastly different [21:51] here is the end of the log : http://dpaste.com/1575786/ [21:52] I'm not sure if the script will execute before the button is clicked [21:52] is it possible to change cpu frequency from 3.0 to 2.4 on ubuntu machine? [21:52] glitsj16: I'm not sure if the script will execute before the button is clicked [21:52] rustuptwist: aha, that's my fault! sorry, just realised that the sdb1 partition is larger than the source partition! [21:52] Lauxley: Pastebin the entire output of "sudo apt-get update" please. [21:53] TJ-: yeah I was kinda wondering about size difference. ok what next [21:53] Bray90820: i might be misunderstanding the issue, but i mean you can let the script itself click your mouse without your manual intervention [21:53] glitsj16: is that possible with a bash script? [21:53] anyone know which package has the acer special keys support? [21:54] Bray90820: yes, look at xdotool [21:54] bekks: http://pastebin.com/gaGh37RZ [21:55] rustuptwist: let's redo the MD5 on sdb1 but use the correct length! "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb1 bs=4096 count=1040214 | md5sum" [21:55] Lauxley: Use ppa-purge to disable all non-default repos, and remove all packages installed from those repos. Note down the repos and the packages you've installed, and try the upgrade again. [21:56] TJ-: the USB is only 8gb [21:56] they seem to come with ubuntu, but not some ubuntu-based distros [21:56] rustuptwist: Yes, which is twice as big as the partition we copied. So this new command reads the exact amount of data in the file-system [21:57] bekks: thx for your time, will try that, is there a way to automatically remove them though, because there is no way i can tell what package i installed from what repo [21:57] Bray90820: the comand would be something like "xdotool click 1" .. Left mouse is 1, middle is 2, right is 3, wheel up is 4, wheel down is 5 [21:58] glitsj16: that may not work because it won't be able to find a mouse to click [21:58] glitsj16: I think the objective is to auto-run the script *after* the bluetooth mouse has connected [21:58] glitsj16: that is a soft click i may need a hard click [21:58] hello, can somebody help me starting idmapd (for nfs4) on ubuntu please? on some website I see I have to add NEED_IDMAPD="yes", on my system I just do systemctl enable rpc-idmapd... how to do that on ubuntu? [21:58] TJ-: Bray90820: ow okay, ignore please, apologies for the confusion [21:59] TJ-: I am a complete noob with this stuff as you can tell [21:59] I added the NEED_IDMAPD to /etc/default/nfs-common but when I mount the nfs share I still see the wrong uid/gid [22:00] TJ-: how long do you think before we are ready to do the install? [22:01] rustuptwist: Once this MD5 is confirmed, it should take no more than 10 minutes to re-partition and put the data back in a logical partition, and then you'll be able to install [22:01] TJ-: 1040214+0 records in 1040214+0 records out 4260716544 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 183.606 s, 23.2 MB/s 48db8a8382033443892b921e5a1bca07 - [22:01] rustuptwist: Does that MD5 sum match the one for sda4 you generated earlier? [22:02] TJ-: yes [22:02] rustuptwist: Fab! we can get on then! You can start gparted again Alt+F2 then "gksudo gparted" [22:02] rustuptwist: First, ensure you have the sda hard disk selected (not the USB sdb!) [22:03] rustuptwist: Next, delete sda4 (the 3.9GB) primary partition [22:03] rustuptwist: Now Create a new Extended partition (you'll have to figure that out as you go, based on what you see) [22:04] TJ: ive done sudo service lightdm restart but all i got was a black screen [22:04] Lauxley: you can use ppa-purge and log the output. [22:04] amel: Check the logs at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for indications of (EE)rrors [22:05] TJ-: select the unallocated one, that we created earlier 104.gb or the sda2 174gb? [22:05] TJ-: Can you explain udev a bit more [22:05] TJ: i was forced too do sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* [22:05] rustuptwist: The 104GB, the space we created [22:06] that was the only way to get back on here [22:06] yo [22:06] i also did sudo apt-get remove --purge [22:07] TJ-: ok i am deleting the sda4 (HP TOOLS) 3.97 partition, correct [22:08] rustuptwist: Once you've created the Extended to use all that space, then Create a Logical partition inside it and set its "New size" to 4064 MiB [22:09] rustuptwist: Correct; (delete sda4 HP TOOLS) [22:10] bekks: the packages i'm supposed to purge are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ right ? [22:10] Lauxley: The repos, not the packages. [22:10] bekks: heh yeah the repos [22:11] TJ-: ok let me be certain: 1. delete 3.97 first, then 2. create a new extended partition somewhere, or in the 104gb unallocated space? [22:11] TJ: i didnt see any errors on the logs [22:11] Hello guys I may have some questions in a few if you all dont mind. but for now I'm just chilling here [22:12] rustuptwist: Correct. 1. delete sda4 2. create Extended partition in the 104GB free space 3. Create Logical partition of 4064MiB [22:12] so, nobody knows how to start idmapd? [22:12] bekks: sorry i can't figure out what the repo name is .. [22:12] from the file name [22:13] Lauxley: Then look into the file. [22:13] and now i feel stupid.. [22:14] TJ-: so in the new 104gb unallocated add a new parition of 4064mib that is logical [22:14] phil-ns: turns out my ~/.Xauthority was owned by root:root [22:15] did anybody here manage to install the nvidia gtx660m driver on ubuntu successfully??????? [22:15] and [22:15] I changed it back to me and now it works [22:15] rustuptwist: Correct [22:15] bekks: there is only urls in those files [22:16] jackDanielsSon: Sure, Hang loose and see what you can learn, all questions are welcome, - thoughtfull questions even more so. === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 === Tony_Stark is now known as Guest55210 [22:16] samertm: ha! I went through the same thing just last week. [22:16] TJ-: align to: MiB or cylinder or none [22:16] ? [22:16] I should have remembered that...I just had to blow it away and reboot. [22:16] phil-ns: haha thanks for the help === Guest55210 is now known as Tony_Stark05 [22:17] phil-ns: also, would that be an X bug or that the expected behavior? [22:17] rustuptwist: MiB [22:17] samertm: happened to me when I decided to get rid of gnome and go to xfce to get real lightweight. [22:18] TJ-: filesystem: ? ext2? [22:18] rustuptwist: No, NTFS. Once you've Applied the changes tell me the name of the new logical partition, I'm expecting it'll be sda5 [22:19] @seek genji [22:19] TJ: is there nothing we can do to fix this gfx driver issue? [22:20] bekks: nvm got it [22:20] TJ-: lets make sure all the setting are correct. Free space preceding (MiB) 1, New Size (MiB) 4064, Free space following (MiB) 102935, Align to: MiB, Create as: Logical Partition, File System: ntfs, Label: blank [22:20] good to go? === aljosa_ is now known as aljosa [22:20] rustuptwist: Correct [22:21] amel: The log files will usually reveal some issue if it fails, they're very verbose. [22:22] TJ: when i add them in the terminal nothing comes up. [22:22] TJ: and when i checked manually in the folder locations i didnt see anything then eather [22:22] hi [22:22] hello. i am sending my process sigterm and the handler runs as expected. the last line of the handler is exit(0); yet the exit status $? seems to indicate 137 (128+9 = sigkill) any ideas? the process sending sigterm is a child of the parent. the parent exits and then the child prints the return code and exits as well. [22:23] amel: can you pastebin the result of "ls -latr /var/log/Xorg*" [22:23] TJ: sure [22:23] would it matter if sudo calls the parent and the return status is from sudo? === patrick is now known as Guest52157 [22:24] TJ-: ok sda5 is 3.97gb, sda3 (recovery) is 14.56gb, sda4 is 104.49gb, sda1 is 199mib, sda2 is 174gb, unallocated 100.52gb but that unallocated and the sda5 seem to be under the sda4 partition, hierarchically speaking. All good? [22:25] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840521/ [22:27] rustuptwist: That's great. You can exit gparted now, and then use the terminal to copy HP file-system back using "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sda5 bs=4096 count=1040214" [22:27] amel: you need a space between ls and -latr [22:28] amel: can you pastebin the result of "ls -latr /var/log/Xorg*" --- upper-case X === jduro_ is now known as cantoma [22:28] glitsj16: thanks :) [22:29] anyone know if I can hook up 3 displays to Ubuntu using 2 off a PCI Nvidia, and one off the onboard Intel? [22:29] TJ-: np :) [22:29] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840538/ [22:30] Using Gnome Tweak Tool or something else is it possible to change UI Scaling for specific monitor. I have two monitors one is 15" 1444xN and other is 32" 1920xN on my second monitor the UI Scaling is at 100% and it looks ok but it's nasty for work. [22:31] amel: Those log files indicate you've managed to start multiple X servers at different times (by the numeric suffix). I'd guess the ".0" log-files are the initial X server startup and the ".1" might be the fail-safe log. [22:31] Now Gnome Tweak tool allows you to set UI Scaling under Desktop but it does this for all screens so I endup with good looking UI/Text on 32" screen and very small text in main screen. [22:31] bekks: sorry i'm stuck again, http://pastebin.com/rXbW9czm, ppa-purge ppa:jcfp/ppa worked, but i can't figure out the other repos name :/ [22:32] amel: Can you try pastebin-ing "Xorg.0.log" [22:33] TJ: the file it self or from the terminal? [22:33] Lauxley: Just try https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/steam/ubuntu as the repo name to be removed by ppa-purge [22:33] amel: The contents of the file... you should be able to do "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [22:34] bekks: could not find package list for PPA [22:34] Lauxley: Can you pastebin the entire output please? [22:34] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840572/ [22:35] King_DuckZ: did you restart imapd after making the changes to /etc/default/nfs-common? sudo service imapd restart should do it .. [22:35] bekks: http://pastebin.com/tVzV6iJq [22:36] Lauxley: you could try removing the PPA from the software-center, as you installed it from there. [22:37] bekks: but then it won't purge the packages i installed from it ? [22:37] Lauxley: correct [22:37] bekks: ill try that anyway [22:37] Lauxley: you could use synaptic then to remove all packages that are "locally" installed afterwards. [22:38] Hi. Im newbie in linux and i have question about how it works. Official drivers for video cards dont work in latest ubuntu because they is not opensource and made for "current" xorg server/kernel/dependencies. So you need dependencies that was "current" when driver was made. Is that correct? [22:38] if a child sends a parent sigterm, and the parent handler catches it and calls exit(0); shouldnt the exit status $? of the process be 0? I am receiving 137 (128+9 == sigkill). very strange. ideas? thanks. [22:38] Question: Will it be easier to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 or from 13.10 to 14.04? [22:38] bekks: ok thx ill check it out [22:39] micros: why do you think that's strange? [22:39] I'm going to be installing a Server version of Ubuntu, just need to know if 13.10 to 14.04 is easier than 12.04 to 14.04 :) [22:39] shinobi_one: It's basically the same - just one step. [22:39] shinobi_one: both will need 1 jump so it shouldn't make any difference [22:40] well, i sent sigterm and called exit with 0. so i would have expected the exit status to be 0. if i hadnt exited, i would have expected 143 (sigterm)... not sure how 137 (sigkill) got involved. [22:40] shinobi_one: LTS releases can only be upgraded between once 14.04 gets a .1 release usually i think [22:40] TJ-: net connection on laptop dropped so cant paste results. what are we looking for? [22:40] amel: Right! You've got a dual GPU PC with an Intel+Nvidia 'bumblebee' configuration. The Intel driver is loading but the nvidia driver is no-where to be seen, possibly because you're deleted it. I also don't see the open-source nouveau driver, which suggests it is blacklisted still [22:40] rustuptwist: Did you start the 'dd' copy from sdb1 to sda5 ? [22:40] daftykins: I don't understand what you mean, sorry. [22:41] TJ: i i deleted it a few minutes ago cause i had a black screen [22:41] bekks, glitsj16: you're saying it I won't have to do extra work in either case? Both have a straight upgrade to 14.04? [22:41] shinobi_one: correct. [22:41] so is this strange, or normal behavior? [22:41] shinobi_one: so after some time, 14.04 will reach a 14.04.1 (sort of like Windows getting a first Service Pack) - that's when 12.04.x can be upgraded directly to 14.04 [22:41] amel: That isn't the correct approach, you can't fix it if you remove the driver ;) [22:41] micros: I'd consider that to be "normal". [22:41] how come? [22:41] TJ-: the last command you gave me sudo dd if=/dev.... [22:41] TJ: true lol, how can i fix it? [22:42] daftykins: ahhh gotcha.. but 13.10 should go direct to 14.04 ? [22:42] daftykins: without this wait? [22:42] TJ: and hopefully now that you know i have 2 graphic cards itll be easier to fix it [22:42] TJ-: 4.3gb copied 197.538 s, 21.6 MB/s [22:43] micros: I consider everything else rather than the child exiting itself with exit(0) to be forced somehow, resulting in a non.zero exit code. [22:43] shinobi_one: ultimately, what are you setting up a server for? [22:43] daftykins: a code repository among other things, needs to be a server :P [22:43] in this case, it was the parent though [22:44] shinobi_one: ok - and how many times do you like doing things, to get them working? [22:44] rustuptwist: Great! OK ... you can "Install Ubuntu" now and it'll see there's that 104GB of unallocated space to use [22:44] child sent the parent sigterm, parent caught it and exited with 0. so why 137 when i echo $? [22:44] bekks: so i disabled the repo, removed the 'local' packages in synaptic (there was only skype and steam), and still get the same exact error when i run do-release-upgrade [22:44] that doesnt sound expected at all [22:44] micros: sigterm is non-zero. [22:44] Lauxley: Then pastebin the output again... [22:44] daftykins: once 14.04 comes out i'll just stay on LTS [22:44] Lauxley: along with sudo apt-get update [22:45] micros: Are you sure your signal-handler caught the signal; 137 is the SIGTERM exit code when there is no handler [22:45] shinobi_one: Just use 12.04 and decide until 2017 wether you want to update or not. [22:45] ok, lets rephrase. if you dont catch a signal like sigterm and exit, then $? would be 143, sigterm, right? if you catch the signal and then exit with exit(0) from the context of the signal handler, would the program return status be 0 or something else? maybe my expectation of exiting from a signal handler is wrong [22:45] 137 is sigkill [22:45] bekks: but it's only ~ a few months until 14.04 :D [22:45] 143 is sigterm === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [22:45] micros: sorry, I meant 143 is the exit code for SIGTERM ... so something is KILLing your process [22:45] defintely caught. i see logoutput [22:46] shinobi_one: And? [22:46] how can i come to know what? [22:46] i cant imagine why [22:46] shinobi_one: i personally don't like upgrades at all, so you could play with whichever you like, make notes as you go for what you do, then if the worst comes to the worst, starting from scratch with 14.04 will be smooth playing \o/ [22:46] bekks: i'm a stickler for new and improved ;) [22:46] shinobi_one: Then why do you want to use LTS? :) === fl_0|afk is now known as fl_0 [22:47] bekks: because new and improved on *sever* means i want LTS but the latest LTS, not necessarily the latest ubuntu, just latest LTS [22:47] * Korny scratches his head [22:47] shinobi_one: The latest LTS is 12.04 [22:47] bekks: for a few more months yes [22:47] shinobi_one: And thats it. Currently, 12.04 is the latest. [22:48] bekks: if 12.04 to 14.04 is the same jump (amount of work for me) as 13.10 to 14.04, i'll probably roll 12.04 until 14.04 comes out [22:48] its not like 12.04 is so far behind anyhow, it has the latest kernal and all security upgrades. Big difference in the UI honestly [22:48] Korny: which I don't mind because I'm talking server [22:48] Korny: Shiny new colors in the PTY - it is going to be a server :) [22:48] lol [22:49] meh my "server" still has a ui [22:49] TJ-: message: 'Unmount partitions that are in use?' The installer has detected that the followiing disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sdb' what to do unmount before continuing [22:49] TJ: any ideas? [22:49] Korny: mine doesn't. unless you consider what bekks is saying lol [22:49] rustuptwist: Yes, umount the USB, its not needed any longer [22:51] bekks: http://pastebin.com/yq7febgD [22:52] amel: Ensure the drivers are correctly installed (again), reboot to clean things up, if/when the GUI doesn't start correctly switch to TTY1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (which should get you a text console) and then investigate the most recent log-files for Xorg. If there is no text console, just a black screen, you'll need to force the uvesafb driver to load from the GRUB menu option in order to have a console framebuffer. [22:52] Lauxley: Remove the backports repo and all packages from there. [22:52] Is it sad that I let my son play with an old computer that I just took apart as a toy :) [22:53] micros: Are you running your process in a container? [22:53] anyone got a link for 12.04.3-server-amd64.iso ? [22:54] rustuptwist: I'd probably just reboot the installer, that shouldn't happen. [22:54] When I wget the link from ubuntu.com it ends up here http://isos.ubuntu.mirror.constant.com//saucy/ubuntu-13.10-server-i386.iso [22:54] which sccares me [22:54] shinobi_one: Why? [22:54] Why do I have to run nautilus as sudo from terminal anytime I wish to copy files to one of my folders [22:54] bekks: could i avoid this with a bootable up to date cd ? [22:54] bekks: it should be 12.04.3 [22:55] Is there a way I can make it so that anytime I run the file explorer it starts as sudo [22:55] bekks: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you?distro=server&bits=64&release=lts that's the URL i am wget-ing [22:55] shinobi_one: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [22:55] shinobi_one: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/precise/daily/current/ [22:55] Lauxley: pastebin.com is blocked.

[22:55] neredsenvy: that should not be needed. you are doing something wrong in general [22:56] shinobi_one: there is some issue with some java or whatever you need for the homepage when wgetting [22:56] TJ: lol oh how i wish i knew what all that means. I can switch to TTY1, that how i deleted the drivers in the first place..but as far as investigating Xorg idk what im looking for or what to do there :/ [22:56] shinobi_one: just use the direct image links [22:56] k1l: I don't understand why this is happening because I'm using the acc I created on installation shouldnt it have root access [22:56] neredsenvy: no [22:56] k1l: yeah that's what I was looking for, thanks TJ- and bekks [22:56] shinobi_one: At the link I gave you, there's a plain download link for 64-bit server image [22:57] k1l: So I have to make my acc root : P [22:57] neredsenvy: that is a user. and running blindly everything with sudo is a bad idea. [22:57] neredsenvy: no. you dont need to put files in the gui, where you need root permission. and using sudo for gui is twice as bad [22:58] how can i see processess how much cpu are using? [22:58] neredsenvy: you are really really going to break your system [22:58] donvito: `top` [22:58] amel: That's good. With the nvidia drivers installed, and having done a reboot, if the GUI doesn't properly start then switch to TTY1 and then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" so someone here can see the actual live problem [22:58] donvito: see top (or htop) in terminal. or use the systemmonitor in gui [22:58] k1l: It's annoying because every time I need file explorer to copy/move files in my var/rails/www directory I need to run sudo nautilus but after 10min I will forget I launched it from console and then i close that console and GUI window closes with it [22:59] neredsenvy: you are using the atom bomb to shoot onto a bird. make a setup with users and groups that works in that case [23:00] hi [23:00] greetings NetCatty [23:00] Oh well it's back to Windows 8 for me this is to much of productivity bummer [23:00] TJ: but when i get into TTY1 how will i get back here if the screen is black. i literally cant see a thing. [23:01] bekks: no luck, but now that i think about it, i had to manually install a backport for my network card to work, could this be the problem ? [23:01] Lauxley: yes [23:01] neredsenvy: no, just take 2 minutes to think about it and put your user in a group that got write access in that folders [23:01] neredsenvy: If you have a console open to run it this way, why not just move the files you need by: sudo cp or sudo mv ...? [23:01] bekks: in my kernel or something, not sure [23:02] what do others use as a system backup/snapshot? I've downloaded timeshift to try. [23:02] neredsenvy: dont blame ubuntu when you break all security systems just because you dont have a clue [23:02] how to kill users in sshd? [23:03] k1l: I don't really have anything on Ubuntu/This PC I just use it for RubyMine IDE and nothing that important on it so a failure would not present any loss [23:03] bekks: this is what i did http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840725/ [23:03] amel: Use a command-line IRC client [23:03] * Korny hides in a corner after setting his storage directories to 777 :/ [23:03] donvito: I don't understand your question. Could you please rephrase it, *and* tell us your end goal? [23:03] i need to kill active users logged via sshd [23:04] why not just restart the sshd dameon? [23:04] neredsenvy: user and groups rights are really basic linux stuff. if you dont like that dont use linux, that is all. [23:04] amel: irssi or weechat are popular [23:04] how to restart sshd daemon? [23:04] What annoys me is I run sublime text via GUI and then I can't save/edit any files under my var/www folder ... [23:05] neredsenvy: again: put your user in the group that is owner of that folder and files [23:05] !permissions | neredsenvy [23:05] neredsenvy: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions === nsh_ is now known as nsh [23:05] sudo service ssh restart ? [23:05] kingfisher64: i use timeshift, very happy with it .. as with all backup software it's a good idea to do some testing, including the restore functionality so you know what to do when needed [23:06] neredsenvy: Then you need to amend ownership permissions. Your editing user needs to be a member of the group that owns /var/www/, and that directory and its contents all need "chmod -R g+w ..." permissions [23:06] nope the users are still loged in [23:06] sudo service ssh stop ? [23:06] TJ: installing irssi now... after that then ill install sudo apt-get nvidia-current 331? [23:06] how do i put sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer on a usb flash so i can install it on my laptop? [23:06] if you stop the service it should disconnect them [23:06] i'm saving over a local network, I imagine that's ok with timeshift glitsj16? [23:06] it will disconect me too [23:06] lol [23:07] well that restart should have as well [23:07] Does anybody know how I can make my gnome terminal semi-transparent? I'm on 13.10 and I don't have the "background" tab everybody talks about. [23:07] thats not the answer i want [23:07] dude [23:07] kingfisher64: sure, that's a supported backup location [23:07] bekks: at this point i think i should just format my system drive and install from a fresh CD right ? [23:07] i basically lost all my apps anyway .. [23:08] amel: No, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331" [23:08] You didn't say you were remote.... [23:08] there's a ton of options in Ubuntu. Enjoyed my first week with the system glitsj16. [23:08] My terminal was previously semi-transparent, but not anymore. I can't remember what I did to make it transparent. [23:08] TJ: okone last question.. how will i use pastbinit on TTy1 [23:09] donvito: Korny: Just stopping sshd doesn't close existing connections. [23:09] kingfisher64: :) true, options might make it confusing at first, but that'll get better every day as you get to know your system [23:09] amel: just as I showed you earlier, no different. It'll report the pastebin URL, which you can type into the IRC session. Remember, you can start the IRC client on TTY2 or TTY3 etc. [23:09] kalekip1_: gnome-terminal? [23:10] glitsj16: Yes, the transparency :/ [23:10] donvito: Why are you trying to log off all users (except yourself?) that are logged in via ssh? [23:10] my username was logged 3 times [23:10] only other thing I've got to get is a power management app with a GUI (if possible). any recommendations? [23:10] so i killed 2 sessions of me [23:10] i found solution [23:11] Jordan_U i can do whatever i like in my server, if u know the answer just asnwer it [23:11] TJ: ok ill try my best [23:11] kalekip1_: right-click should give you 'profiles' > profile preferences .. then it's the background tab iirc [23:11] rustuptwist: Is it installing now? [23:11] glitsj16: Yes, but I don't see that tab. :/ [23:12] glitsj16: I looked everywhere on the internet, I can't seem to find it. [23:12] glitsj16: I have every tab except that one -.- [23:12] donvito: The answer depends on your end goal. See http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal [23:12] kalekip1_: odd, did you try purging the settings and start afresh yet? [23:13] glitsj16: A fresh version? [23:13] kalekip1_: not of the app itself, but its settings [23:13] glitsj16: No, where can I do that? [23:14] kalekip1_: hang on, i'm on a different terminal emulator so i need to check where it saves its prefs [23:15] glitsj16: OK, take your time ;) [23:15] has someone managed to install the otter-browser on buntu13.10? I cant get it to work. I allways shows me error messages regarding broken dependencys( qt5) and so on although qt5 is installed :/ [23:16] TJ-: Got disco'ed for a minute. Did you ask me a question [23:16] rustuptwist: Is it installing now? === rustuptwist_ is now known as rustuptwist [23:17] kalekip1_: ah, the settings of gnome-terminal are in gconf, so you'll need something like gconf-editor to get at those, you might need to install that if you don't have it yet [23:18] TJ-: Yeah. Quite slow. I should have use edubuntu disc as that is the ultimate goal but... [23:18] glitsj16: I have it. I will look into that. Any idea where I should look at? [23:19] kalekip1_: apps > gnome-terminal [23:19] rustuptwist: At least its working! I'm off now, hope it completes OK. [23:20] glitsj16: Nope, not found D: [23:20] kalekip1_: /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_type to be exact [23:20] TJ-: yes your right. And thanks so much. Forget to. Thank you [23:20] Thank you TJ- [23:20] glitsj16: I don't have it at all :/ [23:21] glitsj16: I found something in /Org/ [23:21] kalekip1_: dconf? [23:22] glitsj16: Yes :3 [23:22] hi. i just installed Ubuntu 13 on my laptop... and theres no Enable WIreless networking option in the network icon (its an empty triangle).. there are no properiety drivers. can someone help? [23:23] glitsj16: /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/(hash) [23:23] kalekip1_: could be i still have a version of gnome-terminal with some mold and it apparently moved over to dconf, sorry for the confusion [23:23] SweetGuM: Maybe, I can help. Do you have a wired connection on that laptop ? [23:23] Yes [23:24] glitsj16: I have no idea what to do now. I see "background-color" and "backgroubd-binding". [23:24] bgcolor is rgb(0,0,0) [23:24] People I am under 12.04 KDE 4.12 when I connect external Harddrive and mount it with the graphical utility of KDE it will mount as root [23:24] this is an ext4 harddrive another one, ntfs will belong to user [23:25] how do I tell the utility to mount as user [23:25] kalekip1_: not sure, i only know the old key, that was called background_type --> transparent [23:25] SweetGuM: try: terminal command -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade ; activate the "Additional Drivers" utility and install the recommended driver(s). [23:25] can someone plz have a look at it: http://pastebin.sabayon.org/pastie/16354 [23:25] glitsj16: Can I just add the key? [23:26] Bahsing-om: Oops, I understood you wrong. There is a ethernet port in the laptop, although its not connected... [23:26] Bashin-om: or is it that sudo apt-get update doesnt need a connection? [23:27] SweetGuM: sure it does need internet [23:27] yeah.. no wired connection in this room [23:27] my sound stopped working, can someone help? [23:27] kalekip1_: that would be much help i think, as the schema wouldn't know what to do with it if it isn't there .. puzzling for such a small change .. trying won't hurt though [23:27] i can play front_center.wav from the terminal [23:27] but nothing else works [23:27] *wouldn't [23:28] glitsj16: It doesn't seem to have the ability to add a key :/ [23:28] SweetGuM: Sorry, I do not have the skills to advise you how to install the wireless driver from an external means/ The easy thing is as described ( maybe take the laptop to a wired connection ??). [23:28] ok, ill do that [23:28] glitsj16: I found something else. background-color [23:28] so i just run sudo-apt get update [23:28] hey all [23:28] my keyboard doesn't have a super button [23:29] glitsj16: it's a HEX(?) with 12 characters [23:29] are there any other dash shortcuts/is there anyway for me to set a dash shortcut? [23:29] Bashing-om: how do i activate "Additional Drivers" [23:29] kalekip1_: that won't give you transparency [23:29] samertm: its the windows key [23:29] glitsj16: Then I'm lost. :( [23:30] anyone? [23:30] SweetGuM: Yeah, after establishing a wired connection -> update/upgrade and Additional Utilities. Will find the driver ya need and install it. [23:30] wotan147: Ext4 filesystems have stanadard *NIX permissions, the cleanest solution to this problem would probably be to allow world read+write to all files / directories on this external drive, but it depends on what type of files the drive contains. Do *not* simply chmod -R without thinking about the possible negative consequences. [23:30] k1l: I don't have a windows key :P I'm on a model m [23:30] k thx [23:31] anyone able to help? [23:31] samertm: hmm, well [23:31] glitsj16: Do you know any gnome-terminal alternative? Or can I reinstall it or something? [23:31] kalekip1_: did you try purge/reinstalling gnome-terminal yet? [23:32] :P [23:32] :p [23:32] :P [23:32] I'll just google on how to do that ;p [23:32] kalekip1_: sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal === adamx is now known as am0nrahx [23:32] SweetGuM: I run xfce4 not familiar with the standard install, try software Center ->Software sources -> drop down menu option (??). [23:32] oh ty :P [23:33] kalekip1_: fyi, you can install any terminal emulator you like, gnome-terminal is only the default one [23:34] glitsj16: I really like it with transparency. That's all I want, but even that seems to be quite hard. [23:34] kalekip1_: if you need suggestions, apparently people like terminator [23:34] (I don't, but apparently other people do :P) [23:34] kalekip1_: xfce4-terminal also does transparency, to name one alternative .. most do [23:35] join #pool [23:35] #join pool === samertm is now known as samertm_afk [23:37] Argh, I wish somebody just knew why I don't have the background tab. [23:39] *sigh* https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698544 [23:39] Gnome bug 698544 in Profiles "Background configuration is missing in terminal profile editor" [Normal,Resolved: duplicate] [23:41] kalekip1_: nice find .. i'd try xfce4-terminal and forget about the gnome one, in usage you won't see any difference [23:42] Why isn't this just a standard feature? [23:42] Everybody likes a transparent terminal, right? [23:42] >.< === fl_0 is now known as fl_0|afk [23:42] kalekip1_: ask the gnome devs :) i know i do yes === wickedpuppy2 is now known as wickedpuppy [23:43] kalekip1_: many terminal apps out there for you to do just that, I have konsole and it allows that, it's just not my terminal app, I use mrxvt, though it allows that too, I like black :P === sysadmin is now known as Guest81167 [23:44] I think I know why now. I upgraded from 13.04 to .10 >.< [23:45] I regret it. Yes, just because of this. haha [23:45] Has any one very gotten an ATI Radeon HD 5650 mobility/intel combo to switch inputs? [23:45] Ever? === nsh_ is now known as nsh [23:48] Hey how do i login into mysql database? Do i need to install something for SQL Database? [23:48] mysql client [23:49] then its mysql -h server -u username -p password [23:49] do i need the server aswell? [23:50] heh [23:50] well, the point of using a database client would be to pull or manipulate some data. [23:51] eirgo, you'll need a database of data to play with, if you don't have a public one (or part of a hosting package you own) then yeah, you'll need to install the server part too. [23:51] if the idea is to learn sql, then install the whole mysql package === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY [23:52] make sure to install mysql-admin, its a pretty decent front end for setting up fields/tables/databases [23:52] Well im trying to set up Unrealircd [23:52] glitsj16: Can't I just downgrade the gnome-terminal? Christian Metz removed it in Ubuntu 13.10, because he thinks that it's useless. -.- [23:54] Hello. In the process of upgrading my 'test' partition from 13.04 to 13.10 before testing another change, and durring the large, long download the screen locked and now it's stuck. Will not respond to offer password prompt. I tried A [23:54] CTL === samertm_afk is now known as samertm [23:56] stuppy: tried a CTL? ? [23:56] SSH? [23:56] ctl+alt+F1 > < ctl+alt+F7 switching to see if it would kick it out but no luck. Anyone have a [23:56] lead on a fix for this? [23:57] sorry about the broken lines. First time with andIRC for android. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:58] kalekip1_: you can try, i don't know the actual dependencies of gnome-terminal .. if you can you'd need to put the package on 'hold' to keep it from upgrading, you can do that with sudo apt-mark hold [23:58] stuppy: can't SSH in? [23:58] glitsj16: I'll just download xfce4-terminal. I'm done with this. [23:58] glitsj16: Do you know the command? :P [23:59] I can't find the terminal. I only find the whole thing. [23:59] I can get in with ctl+alt+F1. I assume ssh but seems local would be as gopd. [23:59] good
