| nikolam | hi TJ- | 00:07 |
| nikolam | I updated 12.10, using just first range blocked, like that. | 00:08 |
| TJ- | nikolam: And what does this show? "grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX /etc/default/grub" | 00:11 |
| nikolam | TJ-, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 00:13 |
| nikolam | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='memmap=0x8000000\$0x10000000' | 00:13 |
| nikolam | bu adding second memmap= does not work | 00:13 |
| TJ- | nikolam: Does not work in what way? Does it appear in "/proc/cmdline" after boot, suggesting the kernel ignored it, or if it doesn't show up, that suggests update-grub processed the setting incorrectly | 00:14 |
| nikolam | so I tried with GRUB_BADRAM= and I somehow made it work once ( I think after 2 reboots to GRUB) but it stopped working after. | 00:14 |
| === edong23_ is now known as edong23 | ||
| nikolam | it shows up on GRUB2 menu (second memmap) but kernel does not boot with second memmap. if halts/not showing picture on screen | 00:15 |
| === Guest91199 is now known as mnemon | ||
| nikolam | Most mysterious part is that I somehow maanged to mask out both regions, by combining memmap= and GRUB_BADRAM= lines, and by editing GRUB 2 menu line before boot. But was not able to reproduce it again. | 00:17 |
| TJ- | nikolam: If the RAM is bad why not replace it? | 00:17 |
| nikolam | TJ-, I am searching for the RAM I need but for now, I have this. | 00:17 |
| nikolam | Alos it worked perfectly fine on 12.04 with 2 memmap= lines | 00:18 |
| TJ- | nikolam: OK, that makes sense ... see this for why GRUB_BADRAM works: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/badram.html | 00:18 |
| nikolam | It would be interesting to see how it works on 13.10 and lates | 00:18 |
| TJ- | niko: You should use GRUB_BADRAM instead of memmap | 00:19 |
| nikolam | well, I tried, It does not have affect on mapping un/available RAM. | 00:19 |
| nikolam | I used sudo update-grub after editing /etc/default/grub | 00:19 |
| nikolam | Maybe this line is no good for masking 2 128MiB ranges? GRUB_BADRAM="0x10000000,0xf7000000,0x30000000,0xf7000000" | 00:20 |
| _2cool4me4_ | Is there an alternate install CD for ubuntu 13.10? I'm getting the "Unable to find medium containing a live file system" error | 00:22 |
| leadnpotatoes | _2cool4me4_: Have you tried a different disk in your drive? | 00:23 |
| glitsj16 | nikolam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BadRAM might help on how masking works, also the first link on that page shows a way to use memmap, but the syntax there uses \\\$ | 00:23 |
| _2cool4me4_ | leadnpotatoes, I'm using a live ISO that I put on the disk with Unetbootin | 00:24 |
| leadnpotatoes | So this is from a flash drive and not a CD right? | 00:24 |
| zykotick9 | _2cool4me4_: try without unetbootin | 00:24 |

| nikolam | glitsj16, Yes I was reading that page at the bottom for masking. An I will try \\\ , thanks. | 00:25 |
| _2cool4me4_ | leadnpotatoes, Yes | 00:25 |
| _2cool4me4_ | zykotick9, I'm on a Windows partition right now. Not sure how else to do it. | 00:25 |
| leadnpotatoes | _2cool4me4_: yeah have you tried an alternative to unetbootin? Like this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 00:26 |
| zykotick9 | _2cool4me4_: ummm, i'd guess there are alternatives (but i certainly don't know them). that error you're getting is common with unetbootin. | 00:26 |
| leadnpotatoes | Yeah, Pen drive is what I use, it hasn't given me trouble yet. | 00:28 |
| _2cool4me4_ | Okay. I'm trying that out. Unfortunately, I'll have to go soon, so I won't be able to report back. | 00:28 |

| antonio__ | hey everyone... | 00:37 |
| antonio__ | I'm trying to get rid of some annoying Chitika popup ads on Firefox on Ubuntu...not really sure how | 00:38 |
| antonio__ | These are the ads I'm getting http://reverseinternet.com/domain/www.truthaboutabs.com | 00:38 |
| glitsj16 | tds5016: i don't think initctl has a way to get to the job description, so i think you'll need to just cat & grep for it | 00:38 |
| antonio__ | You'll see a Chitika ad window on the bottom right hand corner... | 00:38 |
| tds5016 | that's unfortunate. | 00:39 |
| tds5016 | why wouuld it give you as a think to add in the .conf? | 00:39 |
| glitsj16 | tds5016: i guess the description is for us humans :) .. purely descriptive | 00:40 |
| tds5016 | yeah. I mean if we're writing it there should be a way to get it :-/. | 00:40 |
| glitsj16 | tds5016: and it isn't needed, a job will run pefectly fine without a description | 00:41 |
| glitsj16 | there is, just cat the job conf and grep for it | 00:41 |
| Beldar | antonio__, probably flash based I use the noscript addon to block flash. | 00:41 |
| tds5016 | yeah. that's just a really ugly way to handle it when trying to do this programatically. | 00:42 |
| antonio__ | beldar: is that with greasemonkey? | 00:42 |
| tds5016 | iit's not bad to have; it would just be a worthwhile functionality. | 00:42 |
| Beldar | antonio__, Firefox | 00:42 |
| glitsj16 | tds5016: why ugly? initctl is strictly for daemon control, not for parsing descriptions | 00:42 |
| tds5016 | well, if you are writing a service description it seems that it would be good for humans to be able to read. | 00:43 |
| tds5016 | so if you see something like myService.x you know what the hell mySErvice.x is. | 00:43 |
| tds5016 | :-) | 00:43 |
| antonio__ | beldar: noscript security suite? | 00:43 |
| Beldar | antonio__, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ | 00:44 |
| glitsj16 | tds5016: ofcourse, but what is so ugly about a "cat /etc/init/myService | grep description" ? the description is limited to 1 line anyway in upstart, so you don't need to realyy work that hard ;) | 00:46 |
| antonio__ | thanks beldar: worked a charm! | 00:46 |
| tds5016 | glitsj16: it's not about the work; it's just not incredibly programatic. and that's also assuming I do this with bash. | 00:47 |
| tds5016 | with C/C++ it's a mess of code. | 00:47 |
| tds5016 | not that it's hard. | 00:47 |
| tds5016 | it's just a pain. | 00:47 |

| endofcake | treats, do you need a graphical tool? | 02:23 |
| treats | I'd like one.. but don't need one if there is a simple command line | 02:23 |
| segfalt_ | df -h | 02:23 |
| endofcake | df -h does the trick for me | 02:23 |
| segfalt_ | it's everything you could want, except pie graphs | 02:24 |
| endofcake | And if you want to drill down and find what hogs your space, use baobab | 02:24 |
| * segfalt_ hasn't use that... interesting. | 02:24 | |
| treats | that's almost everything, except the names don't match what the sidebar calls the drives | 02:24 |
| segfalt_ | the sidebar probably uses disk labels huh? | 02:25 |
| segfalt_ | hmm | 02:25 |
| endofcake | segfalt | 02:25 |
| treats | nvm.. i haven't mounted some | 02:25 |

| dcajacob05 | I am not sure if this is the right room, but I have a pretty distressing problem - on several remote nodes (that I manage with ansible), I am getting errors like this: "-bash: /dev/null: Permission denied"" | 02:42 |
| dcajacob05 | These nodes are running Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop | 02:42 |
| tabsterleir | Hey all, does anyone else have a bug in 13.10 where when you lock the machine the screen goes blank and upon bringing the screen back on, the lock screen credentials box doesn't appear? You can still type your credentials blind and unlock the screen, its almost as if the credential box is invisible. | 02:43 |
| qin | dcajacob05: ls -l /dev/null; ? | 02:44 |
| dcajacob05 | Running sudo rm /dev/null && sudo mknod /dev/null c 1 3 && sudo chmod 666 /dev/null brings temporary relief, but it eventually fails again | 02:45 |
| dcajacob05 | qin: when it's broke, it look like "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 3 21:40 /dev/null" | 02:45 |
| dcajacob05 | Worst of all, it seems like I cannot SSH into the nodes once this happens. | 02:46 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: grep the system scripts (especially user-added or udev rules) for any and all "chmod" commands that are misinterpreting a command redirection ">/dev/null" | 02:47 |
| qin | dcajacob05: /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666" | 02:48 |
| === FloodBot1 is now known as Guest21477 | ||
| qin | this how it should be | 02:48 |
| qin | dcajacob05: check with grep null /lib/udev/rules.d/* | 02:48 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: I'll bet you've got something evaluating to "chmod go-w $SOME_VAR_NAME /dev/null" | 02:48 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: Note the missing ">" | 02:49 |
| dcajacob05 | /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="null|zero|full|random|urandom", MODE="0666" | 02:50 |
| qin | than TJ- point you in search for rought line | 02:51 |
| TJ- | If they're all affected and all managed by ansible, then the problem with be in an ansible script | 02:52 |
| dcajacob05 | I think so too, but I dunno what might have changed - used this for a long time with no probllems | 02:52 |
| dcajacob05 | The nodes run SDRs that sometimes write to /dev/null - I think the problem is happening everytime they write | 02:53 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: check your changelogs | 02:53 |
| dcajacob05 | you mean like my git repo? | 02:54 |
| === rm___ is now known as Guest94337 | ||

| TJ- | dcajacob05: if you use git, it should be easy "git log master | grep '/dev/null' " | 02:55 |
| dcajacob05 | nothing, but it think that would only check the commit messages | 02:56 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: yeah, depends on detailed you get | 02:56 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: try "git grep 'chmod.*/dev/null'" | 02:57 |
| === 31NAAEHFW is now known as joshtau | ||
| === h00k_ is now known as h00k | ||
| dcajacob05 | nothing and greping for just /dev/nul doesn't come up with anything that should be there | 03:00 |
| dcajacob05 | obviously you can cat trash to /dev/null with >/dev/null, but can you just write trash to it using /dev/null as a filename? | 03:02 |
| dcajacob05 | we do that in our DR app | 03:02 |
| dcajacob05 | *SDR | 03:02 |
| dcajacob05 | never been a problem before, but now makes me suspicious | 03:02 |
| opty | i think you've been hacked | 03:04 |
| dcajacob05 | Nah, I hacked myself | 03:05 |
| opty | still hacked | 03:05 |
| dcajacob05 | Oops. Looks like when I write to /dev/null and later remove it, that's bad | 03:05 |
| dcajacob05 | normally the filename is something real, but sometimes it's /dev/null and this script gets run sudo | 03:05 |
| dcajacob05 | need to add a check for that | 03:06 |
| dcajacob05 | TJ: I assume that make sense? | 03:07 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: Set an "inotifywatch /dev/null" if you need to identify *when* it happens, and have that in a script that grabs a dump of "ps -efly" so you can see what process(es) are accessing it | 03:08 |
| TJ- | dcajacob05: "dd if=trash of=/dev/null" is valid | 03:09 |
| dcajacob05 | TJ: I know exactly where it is happening | 03:11 |
| dcajacob05 | I found it | 03:11 |
| dupingping | robert4709: why? | 03:12 |

| AnimalTest | Anywone here good with GUIs? | 03:15 |
| therufus | i've googled it, but nothing seems to work | 03:15 |
| dcajacob05 | TJ: how do you do that? For now, I am just adding some logic to my python program to check if the file is /dev/null before deleting | 03:15 |
| Coincourse | would anyone here be willing to help me with a frustrating samba mounting problem? | 03:16 |
| SecretFire | Can I create a VM that has a virtual specific piece of hardware, like an nvida or ATI graphics card? I want to run an application in a VM that looks for specific hardware and I want to fool it in to running. Is this possible with virtual box? | 03:17 |
| === thirsteh_ is now known as thirsteh | ||
| TJ- | dcajacob05: Ahh, no. I was thinking of the immutable attribute but that prevents writing as well as deletion... not much use in this case! And the 't' sticking-bit is no good because it's a special file, not a directory | 03:18 |
| TJ- | SecretFire: You can, with some hypervisors, use PCI pass-through to dedicate a piece of hardware to a VM | 03:18 |
| dcajacob05 | gotcha, well logic is probably called for anyhow | 03:19 |
| dcajacob05 | thanks for your help, this was driving me nuts | 03:19 |

| therufus | so lets get this clear. What is it you are mounting? | 03:27 |
| Coincourse | it is a samba share on a work server, I'm trying to mount it to /media/server/ | 03:28 |
| im | 하이 | 03:28 |
| therufus | so are you on the work server? | 03:28 |

| ubottu | im: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko | 03:29 |
| Coincourse | therufus: I can see all of the files on the share just by going through the file browsers go to: //server/share system, but if I try to open anything or copy to desktop it's 0 bytes and looks like an empty text file | 03:30 |
| Diplomatico | Hello, there's a pop up that says that I should upgrade to 13.10, but I have and old notebook, is it necessary? | 03:30 |
| Coincourse | I'm able to ping the work server, and browse the directories but not actually access any files. | 03:30 |
| somsip | Diplomatico: what version are you running now? | 03:30 |
| Diplomatico | Raring | 03:30 |
| therufus | that's probably a permission issue on the server | 03:30 |
| somsip | Diplomatico: This became unsupported a fewe days ago. So it is probably best advice to upgrade, especially if you want any future security and bugfix updates | 03:31 |
| somsip | !13.04 | Diplomatico | 03:32 |
| ubottu | Diplomatico: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Supported ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 03:32 |
| Diplomatico | But, what I really want to know if the new release won't make my notebook slower. | 03:32 |
| Coincourse | therufus: can you help guide me through what I can ask of the tech guy? They're good folks but I don't want to be too much of a pain, I'm the only linux user in the office. | 03:33 |
| therufus | Coincourse: beyond my scope. I wouldn't want to lead you astray. Anyone here able to help Coincourse? | 03:34 |
| somsip | Diplomatico: it's very difficult to guarantee anything. If you post more details about your laptop, *maybe* someone else here might have the same setup. Otherwise, you may need to search. As 13.10 is an upgrade it should be better, but I have no direct experience of it myself | 03:34 |
| carrot | test | 03:34 |
| Diplomatico | Ok, but, what could be the worst case scenario? Somsip? | 03:34 |
| somsip | Diplomatico: something in your laptop has lesser support in 13.10 than in 13.04, ie: it breaks. I'm really not sure how likely that is but it may be something you need to research first. | 03:35 |

| Diplomatico | Ok, thank you, another silly question is, this upgrade means I have to reinstall all my software? | 03:36 |
| therufus | same reason Jesus could walk on water. Fairytales NastyNaz. | 03:36 |
| somsip | Diplomatico: not unless you have installed from non-official sources, eg: PPAs, using dpkg -i, compiling from source. If you' | 03:37 |
| somsip | Diplomatico: ...you've kept it clean, it should be straightforward. Same caveat about no guarantees though | 03:37 |
| therufus | can anyone help me with my drama? | 03:37 |
| NastyNaz | therufus: sure | 03:37 |
| Diplomatico | Oh...Again another thing that it should taken account is that I have it dualboot... | 03:37 |
| therufus | rtorrent: symbol lookup error: rtorrent: undefined symbol: _ZN7torrent10ThreadBase8m_globalE when trying to run rtorrent | 03:37 |

| Tazmain | hi all, I have ubuntu server 12.04.1 install with xfce ( boss wanted a gui) I am having trouble getting to start to just the cli. I tried editing grub to change splash to text and removing lxdm and gdm from the init.d. How can I disable the GUI at startup ? | 07:29 |
| somsip | honeybuntu: they can, but it's likely to cause problems unless you are very careful | 07:29 |
| somsip | !text | Tazmain | 07:30 |
| ubottu | Tazmain: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 07:30 |
| Tazmain | somsip, did not work | 07:30 |
| somsip | Tazmain: in what way? | 07:30 |
| honeybuntu | -->somsip: ok. thank you for the warning. | 07:30 |
| Tazmain | Still booted to the GUI, or Desktop I want to go to cli, like before a DE was installed. How ubuntu server normally boots | 07:31 |
| comander | Tazmain, press Ctrl+Alt+ F1 | 07:32 |
| Tazmain | comander, thats not the point, the DE takes up ram, SO i don't want it starting with boot. That you go manually startx. | 07:33 |

| varunendra | dino2k, is this your modem? : http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TD-8811#spec | 08:10 |
| honeybuntu | ..i think it is more annoying. Ubuntu is by far more functional and less obtrusive. | 08:10 |
| varunendra | dino2k, it seems it is meant for single user only. If so, you can use either the USB or the ethernet interface to connect to it. There is no need to install any driver for it, and the bundled software (probably only for Windows) is only an interface to connect to it. | 08:11 |
| dino2k | varunendra: yup | 08:11 |
| honeybuntu | What is the Ubu distro of choice for the beginner/intermediate user? Tried 13.10 and Linux Mint 13 (Maya). | 08:12 |
| varunendra | dino2k, please read what I posted above ^^ :) | 08:12 |
| Cuppa_coffee | i'd go for 13.10 honeybuntu | 08:12 |
| mjhszig | soooo if im running 10.10 does this mean the repository is closed and i can no longer download dependencies??? | 08:12 |

| somsip | Packjam: and this relates to ubuntu in what way? | 08:14 |
| Packjam | won't install, does not remember settings, cairo does not run | 08:14 |
| Packjam | welll it's just some information about an ubuntu based distro | 08:14 |
| honeybuntu | I'm handing over my Mac Book Pro to my niece as pre-Valentine. No more of that | 08:14 |
| somsip | Packjam: Nothing something for here. If you want to give feedback, give it to the Zorin team. It's not a supported derivative | 08:15 |
| dino2k | varunendra: in ubuntu and by the use of usb cable . no lan cable aval. right now; in this case does ubuntu finds and connects to td8811 or it needs aditional package or drivers | 08:15 |
| somsip | *Not something... | 08:15 |
| honeybuntu | Everything's soldered onto the mobo - I'm going to run Ubuntu for the remainder of my computing. It is the best sensible course to follow | 08:16 |
| varunendra | dino2k, The USB interface would need the bundled software. Unless they have supplied a linux version, I think you are stuck there. But what is the point of accessing/configuring it if you don't have the Ethernet cable to actually use it? | 08:16 |
| varunendra | dino2k, have you lost the cable that came with it? | 08:17 |
| dino2k | varunendra: the machine doesn't have a lan card | 08:18 |
| varunendra | dino2k, then are you thinking of using the network connection via USB interface? I'm not sure if that is even possible. | 08:19 |
| honeybuntu | If I might also ask, would it not be more efficient to run legacy bios (ms dos) on the dual core x64 ASUS w/Intel 2117U 1.8 GHz CPU? | 08:19 |
| dino2k | varunendra: it is possible . i am now using it in win and talking to you | 08:20 |
| varunendra | dino2k, then check "lsusb" to see if it detected it as some Ethernet-to-USB adapter or anything that can be used as a communication interface. Also check the output of "sudo lshw -C network". | 08:22 |
| varunendra | dino2k, in windows, you should be able to check "Device Manager" to see what kind of device it is recognized as. | 08:23 |
| honeybuntu | Rather than struggling with the EFI BIOS install factoring into a "real ppa purge fest". I would lose some "cpu horse-power" but I would trade it for the stability of the Legacy BIOS mode. | 08:23 |
| dino2k | varunendra: thanks i will check it and will get back to you. | 08:24 |

| honeybuntu | I was instructed by an advanced Ubu 12.04 end-user that I had no need of even creating a swap file (aka swap space/partition) | 09:14 |
| hewhomust | just delete it and resize no point in mounting it | 09:15 |
| honeybuntu | Since i have 8 GB of RAM on this 1.8 GHz Intel 2117U dual core Vivo. | 09:16 |
| honeybuntu | To Swap or not to Swap? What is correct. | 09:16 |
| honeybuntu | Is it best just to toss the EFI BIOS install aside and utilize Legacy BIOS mode & forego the "mucking about" with EFI BIOS settings? | 09:18 |
| honeybuntu | I'm patient.. | 09:19 |
| varunendra | honeybuntu, would you be dualbooting? | 09:19 |
| honeybuntu | No dual boot. Ubu 12.04.3 LTS x64 only. | 09:19 |
| varunendra | honeybuntu, then it doesn't matter whether you use EFI or Legacy. Go with whatever suits you more | 09:20 |
| honeybuntu | Do I have to setup a swap file since I have 8GB installed on this ASUS & 320 GB WDC HDD. | 09:21 |
| honeybuntu | Should I retain the Windows Boot Manager listed in BIOS "Boot Options"? | 09:22 |
| varunendra | honeybuntu, normally you can do away with swap if you have 8 GB RAM, but it is recommended to keep a 2GB swap anyway | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | honeybuntu: you will need 8.8Gb swap if you need hibernate functionality | 09:23 |
| varunendra | honeybuntu, that means there is/was windows installed on this system in EFI mode? Is it gone? | 09:23 |
| bibi234 | I'm doing a test C program on ubuntu ("Hello world"), once it is compiled I can see a file with this icon : http://www.alastair.pro/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/application-x-executable.png , but when I double click on it nothing happens, I can only run it from the console, why can't I double click on it (like an exe file on windows)? | 09:23 |
| honeybuntu | I created a 4 GB swap and it wouldn't mount without a world of 'cmd line' rescue & tweaks. | 09:24 |
| wizard_A | in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot i see /etc/dnsmasq.conf but in ubuntu13.10 server i do not any such file?? | 09:24 |
| honeybuntu | Yes - Windows 8 (Home) was installed. | 09:24 |
| francisquare | i installed somehow a webserver on my laptop (ubuntu) can't find what is it, i want to uninstall it | 09:24 |

| varunendra | honeybuntu, is it a normal swap space or an encrypted one (cryptswap)? | 09:24 |

| honeybuntu | I removed the 500 GB hdd and replaced it w/an empty fresh 320 GB WDC hdd. | 09:25 |
| honeybuntu | I created a simple swap space via ('DIY' ..er "Something Else" partitioning option) on LiveCD | 09:26 |
| honeybuntu | I chose to encrypt my /home folder (on separate Ext4 partition) | 09:27 |
| honeybuntu | It automatically proceeded to encrypt swap (dev/mapper/cryptswap1 unable to mount). | 09:28 |
| honeybuntu | After the initial reboot following install. | 09:28 |
| varunendra | honeybuntu, choosing to encrypt /home also encrypts the swap space for protection of raw user data that may be left during sessions in swap. I don't have much experience with encrypted swap, so can't help there, sorry. | 09:29 |
| honeybuntu | You are the 1st one to tell me that. Thank you so muchly! | 09:29 |
| honeybuntu | Its ok. | 09:29 |
| varunendra | honeybuntu, have you also posted the output of fstab somewhere? Just curious to see it | 09:30 |

| varunendra | honeybuntu, I don't know much about cryptswap, but from I have seen on the forums, it is probably best to let the system deal with it its own way instead of trying to change/manipulate it | 09:51 |
| lvleph | pip, samba doesn't care where something is mounted | 09:51 |
| pip | lvleph: I was afraid of that | 09:51 |
| lvleph | it just needs permissions to read it and needs a proper config | 09:52 |

| hermacet | It would seem that i have a SSD that i can see through gParted, but not currently through the filemanager. I take it a simple partitioning and formating with ext4 would be sufficent to access it. Also, i am considering using it as a linux installation media so i always have a backup of kubuntu in case i muck something up. Is this doable with say unetbootin, to extract the kubuntu iso onto the SSD and boot from it? | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hermacet: if the partitions are not mounted the file manager will not see them | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | hermacet: you don't extract the ISO | 10:46 |

| hermacet | perhaps extract is wrong word, my apologies. I'm not natively english speaking. What i mean is unpacking it, as when making a usb stick as installationmedia for linux | 10:48 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: I'm not sure I'd know how -> I added the PPA to my sources.list to get the latest 1.6.1 version, and its dependencies. it all installed ok but errors out when I run it. | 10:48 |
| Tasab | ?? | 10:49 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: what PPA exactly? i only saw 2 but those only offer 1.5 iirc .. and you can see the dependencies if you just extract the .deb file and look inside the DEBIAN/control file | 10:50 |

| glitsj16 | luxpir: these are the dependencies for the 1.6.1-1 deb from the dev himself --> libc6 (>= 2.6), python (>= 2.7), python (<< 2.8), python-larch (>= 1.20131130~), python-ttystatus (>= 0.22~), python-paramiko, python-tracing (>= 0.6~), python-cliapp (>= 1.20130313~), python-fuse | 10:52 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: ah you're right. then I removed that and added the unstable and wheezy precise sources to get the latest, and so we circle back to your first question | 10:52 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: yes that offers a lower version | 10:52 |

| === cebor_ is now known as cebor | ||
| glitsj16 | luxpir: i think you'd have better luck with the regular deb from that site, not the wheezy one | 10:54 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: thanks for the tip - on a 64bit 12.04 server - should i grab the 1.6.1-1 i386.deb? | 10:55 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: you can run "apt-get cache policy <pkg>" to see if it will work on 12.04 | 10:55 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: no grab the 64bit it that case | 10:55 |

| luxpir | it says amd64... I'm not certain, but will 'look up' the command to display the server info now | 10:56 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: it's an intel cpu on the server in question. and thanks for hte policy tip - I can just run that on the deb file? | 10:58 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: there's a dry run switch also that will keep you informed about what will happen if you try to install a deb --> sudo dpkg --dry-run -i ./xxx.deb .. i wasn't clear, no you'd run that policy command on all the dependencies mentioned to see it they are all ok, but a dry run has the same effect | 11:00 |
| zykotick9 | glitsj16: luxpir it's "apt-cache policy foo" to check the repo for a package, i don't think "apt-get cache policy foo" is valid. | 11:00 |
| luxpir | thanks - will test now | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | hermacet: you use unetbootin to make bootable usb sticks.... | 11:00 |
| glitsj16 | zykotick9: correct! thank you | 11:00 |
| zykotick9 | luxpir: "dpkg --print-architecture" will show you if you're using amd64 or i686 | 11:01 |
| luxpir | the dry run reports i386... so, it must be that (ignorance is bliss?!) | 11:02 |

| luxpir | out of interest, why would the precise/universe version be so out of date? | 11:04 |
| GOOD_JOB_OPERS | http://box.ra.pe:8080/ | 11:05 |
| luxpir | is it just the dev (lars) not having time to keep the repo up to date? | 11:05 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: because it's from 2012? :) .. and lars doesn't maintain the PPA's .. he just codes i guess | 11:06 |
| luxpir | ok | 11:06 |
| luxpir | thanks for your assistance, btw, it's encouraging. was close to giving up and rsyncing :) | 11:06 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: in a few months trusty will have the latest version of obnam in the regular ubuntu repos | 11:07 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: interesting. would that mean me upgrading my vps from precise? first vps I've managed myself, and went for 12.04 for LTS/stability etc. | 11:08 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: you could yes, as 14.04 will also be LTS | 11:09 |
| Somelauw | So, I installed ubuntu and now I'm in grub and I got a windows 7 loader on both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, why? | 11:09 |

| Baribal__ | Hi. I just tried making a backup of my home directory with cp -R. However, the resulting directory is 53G big, while the home directory is 66G. What are likely candidates for not having been copied, and how can I actually find out? | 11:23 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: good news! For now though, I just checked, after installing the i386 deb (getting same errors) and all the dependencies are in place and >= those v nums | 11:24 |
| hlavaty | Baribal__: use rsync -av src dest instead of cp -R | 11:25 |
| LostDoc | Hey guys. I'm attempting to recover an open office spreadsheet that was mistakenly deleted. (*.ods) from a Windows 8 machine. Now, fortunately, I've also got Ubuntu LTS installed on the same laptop, so I can boot that u and install testdisk and photorec to recover the file. Does anybody know which of the filetypes will catch *.ods? The format isn't mentioned by itself in photorec's list. | 11:25 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: nice, the 1.6.1 fixes a bad bug so it's advised to not run anything below | 11:25 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: just discovered libc6 was below required v num - updating now | 11:26 |
| Baribal__ | hlavaty, thanks for the tip (though I didn't intend it to become an incremental backup), but still, what would cause a file/directory to not be cp -R'd? | 11:26 |
| foofoobar | Is there anything I need to consider when resizing a SSD with gparted (I'm booting with ubuntu livecd) | 11:26 |
| foofoobar | Baribal__, permissions | 11:27 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: it won't update past v 2.15-0ubunto10... odd | 11:27 |
| hlavaty | Baribal__: maybe symlinks or hardlinks or permissions? use rsync | 11:27 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: 2.15.. of what exactly? | 11:28 |
| luxpir | libc6 | 11:28 |
| geirha | Baribal__: Or if the target filesystem has limitations on what characters filenames may contain | 11:29 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: what does "apt-cache policy libc6" say? obnam should be fine with anything >= 2.6 | 11:30 |

| milamber | !12.04 | 11:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 11:33 |
| zykotick9 | michagogo|cloud: point releases, i believe | 11:33 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: it only mentions version 2.15-0ubuntu10.5 of libc6 | 11:33 |
| michagogo|cloud | What are they, in terms of what the actual update is? | 11:33 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: just checked, i think you're out of luck, at least with the deb install .. looks like python-larch needs at least the ubuntu version from trusty.. have you tried installing/building from git? | 11:34 |
| zykotick9 | michagogo|cloud: basically, security/bug fixes updates to the install media | 11:35 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: i did - but i might not have been doing it right. (thanks for ongoing help) - cloned it, ran setup.py build, then setup.py install. but there was a build error. | 11:35 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: where did you see that about larch, out of interest? if i could perhaps get my libc6 version up to spec it could still work? | 11:35 |
| schreber | Has anyone run across issues with the latest Chromium (32.0.1700.102) and flash/shockwave acting wonky? | 11:38 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: doubtfull, i saw the python-larch dependency of obnam 1.6.1 in the DEBIAN control file, it mentions python-larch (>= 1.20131130~) and also python-cliapp (>= 1.20130313~), both of which are not available for precise | 11:38 |
| morpheus07 | Hi guys I have a problem in running my python code on port 80 on my localhost. It is running on other ports but this port number 80 is creating me a problem. Can someone please help ? | 11:39 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: can you pastebin your install output please? it's odd that it only complains about libc6 (which i wouldn't advise *at all* to mess with..) | 11:40 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: it doesn't complain about libc6 - i went off your dependency nums above. | 11:41 |

| luxpir | glitsj16: when i run obnam after install: http://pastebin.com/tPrRe7Hn < these are the errors i get | 11:42 |
| luxpir | related to cliapp, all of them | 11:42 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: ahh, it will complain on python-larch and python-cliapp, probably why you got the build error earlier | 11:43 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: but i got them from the ppa and when i list dpkg -l python* i can see larch and cliapp up to date | 11:43 |
| prx | i just opened iron browser and it seems to be using Chromium, exactly the same... | 11:43 |
| prx | is that normal? | 11:43 |

| glitsj16 | luxpir: what does "apt-cache policy python)larch python-cliapp" give you? | 11:44 |
| glitsj16 | python-larch sorry about the ) | 11:44 |
| ikonia | vlt: talk to the PPA owner to fix them | 11:45 |
| luxpir | installed: larch is 1.20131130-1 and cliapp is 1.20130424-1ubuntu1 (candidate is for squeeze - 1.20130808-1.squeeze) | 11:46 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: but i'm not sure what candidate is :) | 11:46 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: candidate gives you info on what possible versions are in your repos to install .. so you still have the PPA i assume, correct? that's where they seem to stem from | 11:49 |
| luxpir | yep | 11:49 |
| luxpir | correct glitsj16 | 11:49 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: i wonder if i don't try to update cliapp to the squeeze version? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | err no | 11:50 |

| mzdravkov | i want to install mysql-server from a script, but the installer stops to ask for root user. Is there a way to give to the installer the root user info when invoking the command? or making it to skip asking for root info and manually add it later? | 11:50 |

| === jhattara_ is now known as jhattara | ||
| glitsj16 | luxpir: the version of python-cliapp you have installed satisfies the dependency, i wouldn't go for the squeeze | 11:51 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: noted for the cliapp v. and just ran another dpkg (on top of existing) and it unpacked a replacement for obnam | 11:53 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: any errors this time around? | 11:53 |
| luxpir | but same error as pastebin | 11:53 |
| luxpir | when running obnam | 11:54 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: yes the pastebin shows what happens when you run it, would be interesting to see what ther dpkg -i command spits out exactly | 11:54 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: even when i have a version installed? I'll pastebin it. | 11:55 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: you can use the --dry-run switch | 11:55 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: ok - dry run just says: Preparing to replace obnam 1.6.1-1 (using obnam_1.6.1-1_i386.deb) ... | 11:56 |

| glitsj16 | luxpir: sorry i'm a bit confused about the error you get, is that from the latest obnam deb or from the PPA one? can't really see that in the earlier paste | 11:58 |
| luxpir | there's still the libc6 version num that could be at fault. | 11:58 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: no, it's not an installer error (sorry) I just get an error when running obnam backup or even just obnam (blank) | 11:59 |
| luxpir | obnam --version shows me 1.6.1 and obnam --help enumerates the commands | 11:59 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: not likely, obnam needs only libc v 2.6, anything since lucid is higher | 12:00 |
| luxpir | but when running a backup i get those critical err msgs | 12:00 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: isn't my version og libc6 (2.15) lower than that? | 12:01 |
| luxpir | dpkg -l libc6* shows 2.15-0ubuntu10.05 | 12:01 |

| luxpir | oh - is that how version nums work? i've always assumed they were decimal | 12:03 |
| luxpir | ok i'll go ahead and do that - thanks for your time. i'll report back if anything positive comes of it glitsj16 | 12:03 |

| obsidian | Luny- doesn't matter where you install Ubuntu (either on a USB drive, or alongside Windows on your PC) you still need GRUB in order to boot Ubuntu. If you wanna use your external USB drive for all your personal stuff, format the external drive to ext4 format and during the Ubuntu Install make sure you install the boot loader on your PC then mount the /home directory to your newly formatted USB drive. | 12:27 |
| newbie1 | hi sorrz for the question.i know this is for ubuntu but i have a question about my debian installation.i installed the os but there was no window where i could type a username and password.so when i boot debian i come on the desktop but there is a login window. | 12:28 |
| newbie1 | but what do i have to type now for default login_ | 12:28 |
| newbie1 | ? | 12:28 |
| newbie1 | is there something like a default username and password ? | 12:29 |
| luny | geirha, the other pc has a broken motherboard, it doesn't recognize anything I plug into it's sata/ide slots | 12:29 |
| luny | so I can't use DVD or standard HD in it.. only USB | 12:29 |
| zykotick9 | newbie1: "/j #debian" but it DID ask for a username password... (unless it's not really debian...) | 12:29 |
| geirha | luny: And you don't have any usb sticks to install with? | 12:30 |
| luny | geirha, yes I have sticks.. and I wrote ubunti image on one of them but it just boots it up from the stick, can't install anymore at that phase | 12:31 |
| luny | so I guess I should look for an image I can write to USB that will then install to USB HD after boot | 12:32 |
| geirha | Installing to an USB hd should be no different than installing to an "internal" HD | 12:32 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: before i send this email to lars - I just have a config file set up for sftp (not sure if that's right) and tried obnam backup | 12:33 |
| luxpir | and then another "obnam backup /path/to/files /backup" | 12:33 |
| luxpir | same errors | 12:33 |
| geirha | luny: so it sounds more like it's not detecting the USB HD for some reason | 12:34 |
| luny | no.. heh this is hard to explain.. what I would apparently need, is a method to boot from USB STICK, and after it has booted, a method to install to USB HD | 12:35 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: well it would have been too sweet :) i thought perhaps a typo in something like ./obnam backup --repository /tmp/mybackup $HOME could be the cause, but i'll leave it at that, thanks for your reply | 12:35 |
| Segfault_ | WEFFA | 12:36 |
| geirha | luny: Yes, the regular Ubuntu ISO can do that. | 12:37 |
| geirha | luny: So if you put the Ubuntu iso on the USB stick, then boot the machine with both the USB stick and USB HD connected, you should be able to install Ubuntu on it | 12:37 |
| luny | oh.. that's awesome.. I already have that stick, I'll just boot it up, see you in a minute : | 12:38 |
| luny | :) | 12:38 |
| luxpir | glitsj16: email set to lars, including transcript of our exchange. thanks for your assistance! | 12:39 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: can't resist .. can you check if there isn't a typo inside your ~/.obnam.conf? 'respository' looks awfully close to 'repository' .. just a longshot thought | 12:39 |
| luxpir | you're right! | 12:40 |
| glitsj16 | luxpir: very welcome, obnam is a nice tool, that's why i noticed your question here | 12:40 |

| glitsj16 | lol, he'll have a chuckle :p | 12:40 |

| Wilkim | hello, I have ubuntu-server 13.10 with nginx, php5-fpm, mysql, etc. nginx and php5-fpm use user/group www-data. I added the www-data group to my username, and have 770 for folders 660 for file permissions. Is it possible in any way to have it when I use git pull, or composer, to have them use the www-data username/group so I dont have to do a chown everytime afterwards? | 13:46 |

| Wilkim | yea, I have a development box, with www-data setup for nbginx + php, and samba to access the files, when I create a new file, via the IDE, git, or composer, I would prefer it to automtically have www-data user/group | 14:11 |

| CatKiller | Wilkim: Try to change into a user and run "touch <targetfolder>/file" | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | see if the group is set correctly | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | maybe what happens is that the sgid works as expected but the file is being chmoded afterwards | 14:13 |
| Wilkim | the group is created as expected, however the user is still my username, not www-data (or is that normal)? | 14:14 |
| === pc is now known as manny | ||

| CatKiller | only sgid is active | 14:14 |
| CatKiller | setuid doesn't work | 14:14 |

| Wilkim | so like /var/www/vhost-name would get 770, /var/www/vhost-name/html would get 770, /var/www/vhost-name/html/index.php would get 660 | 14:24 |

| glitsj16 | the only relevant udev rule i can see is /lib/udev/rules.d/75-tty-description.rules but i never changed a udev rule on this machine nor would i know what to look for actually :) | 15:50 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: Have you got an alternative input method selected, such as ibus? | 15:51 |
| Screwba | MikeTison: tr is a trimmer and since you are removing \n, it will not be there | 15:51 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: no, i've actually installed ibus again to see if it would make a difference, zip | 15:51 |
| Screwba | MikeTison: also, you should use result="$()" and not use `` | 15:52 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: i also regenerated those /var/lib/xkb/ compiled keymaps but this isn't happening in X so i'm not even sure why i did that | 15:52 |
| Xuisce1 | hi glitsj16 | 15:53 |
| Xuisce1 | TJ-: | 15:53 |
| glitsj16 | Xuisce1: hello :) | 15:53 |
| runelind | is there a utility that checks installed packages for vulnerabilities against an online database and provides reports on them? | 15:53 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: I assume you've reconfigured console-setup, just in case? | 15:54 |

| Xuisce1 | hm | 15:54 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: what does "stty -a" report? | 15:54 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: yes, several times | 15:54 |
| p0wn3d | runelind: I think nessus will do that | 15:56 |
| bhavesh | I just installed wm2 window manager on Ubuntu 13.10 from USC. How am I supposed to boot into it and get back to normal desktop? There's no wm2 option in login screen. | 15:56 |
| runelind | p0wn3d: I was thinking something more ubuntu specific. | 15:56 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: This is the output of "stty -a" from tty1 on mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6873700/ | 15:56 |
| p0wn3d | You would probably just want to search your version of ubuntu with one of the databases of vulnerablities on the net | 15:57 |

| runelind | p0wn3d: looks like maybe debsecan will do it. | 15:58 |
| MonkeyDust | backtrack (not supported here) is developped for intrusion scanning, IIRC | 15:58 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: 'diff' doesn't show any differences aside from console resolution | 15:59 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: Is it a PS/2 or USB keyboard? | 16:00 |
| steviedon | runelind: Have a look at lynis its a security and system auditing tool | 16:01 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: PS/2 .. only diff i see with yours is the # of rows and columns | 16:01 |
| Bombo | how do i prevent the nvidia kernel module from getting loaded at boot time? (ubuntu) i added blackline nvidia into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but it still gets loaded | 16:01 |

| glitsj16 | TJ-: i'll get that to you in a minute, takes ages to type lol | 16:02 |

| Bombo | 2. how does the watchdog work? i see watchdog/1 taking 90-100% cpu, leading to extreme lag when executing programs (bash/ssh) | 16:04 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: From X: "echo -e '#!/bin/bash\ngrep i8042 /var/log/dmsg >/tmp/grep.log' >~/R && chmod a+x ~/R" .... then Ctrl+Alt+F1 then "R <Enter>" and switch back to X :) | 16:04 |

| === FloodBot1 is now known as Guest89633 | ||
| Bombo | editor won't start, apt-get too, bash, htop works... | 16:07 |
| Bombo | how do i find out what causes watchdog to use 100% cpu? | 16:07 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: Try adding to the kernel command-line "i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset" | 16:08 |
| Bombo | is there a way to stop watchdog? | 16:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Bombo try pkill watchdog* | 16:09 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: trying that now, had to install R .. thanks for the suggestions, i'll report back, appreciated :) | 16:12 |
| === Guest64422 is now known as mfisch | ||

| glitsj16 | TJ-: owe you one, very much appreciate the help .. i flipped thru my tty history a few times out of pure nostalgia | 16:21 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: kernel was mis-detecting a multiplexing i8042 - it showed 4 AUX ports, with only 1 pointer device actually attached | 16:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | !details | dukeNubem | 16:23 |
| ubottu | dukeNubem: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 16:23 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: when you put it like that it makes sense .. strange that i couldn't track it in syslog, or are such things not logged there? | 16:23 |
| dukeNubem | I can't enter super user more and there is an error message, when I want to use apt-get | 16:23 |

| hitsujiTMO | dukeNubem: for any commands that require super user, you prepend sudo to it. this will run that command as the super user for the duration of the command | 16:25 |
| OerHeks | dukeNubem, if you cant enable superuser/sudo, then you cannot update | 16:25 |

It is not mounted, so I am not sure what else I need to do to be able to alter the filesystem on that device | 16:51 |

| andybrine | or vice versa | 17:31 |
| shahhena95 | how do I install KDE? | 17:31 |
| whoever | BuJitsuBrown: you can use top, om just use system monitor in gui | 17:31 |
| andybrine | I go and select the keyboad and all is working well, then after a few hours or so it goes back to the wrong inputs | 17:32 |
| whoever | andybrine: you to setting >keyboard > layout, and tell me how many layouts are listed | 17:32 |
| whoever | andybrine: so how many layouts are listed | 17:33 |
| OerHeks | shahhena95, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 17:33 |
| andybrine | sorry just checking | 17:33 |
| andybrine | at the top on my notification bar I only have 1 | 17:33 |
| whoever | andybrine: yes but under setting > keyboard, keyboard layout | 17:34 |
| whoever | andybrine: is use the same layout for all windows checked | 17:34 |
| madorn | why is life a dream | 17:34 |
| andybrine | When I go to Settings > Keyboard, there is no keyboard layout | 17:35 |
| andybrine | there is typing and shortcuts | 17:35 |
| whoever | andybrine: try setting it to your layout | 17:35 |
| whoever | then see how that goes | 17:35 |
| andybrine | ok, I have it here and only have 1 keyboard layout | 17:36 |
| whoever | andybrine: the problem your describing i have experienced it with windows but not linux | 17:36 |
| whoever | andybrine: ok, are you on 13.x | 17:36 |
| andybrine | yeah im on 13.10 | 17:36 |
| NictraSavios | Does Ubuntu impose a limit on the number of monitors you can have? | 17:37 |
| andybrine | its a real pain in the ass when it keeps changing and has the worng layout | 17:37 |
| andybrine | pardon my language, lol | 17:37 |
| whoever | andybrine: i would logout and back in or maybe even do a restart , 13.x had some weird fix applied before the release that that was the only way i could get custom keyboard stort cuts to appply, so thinking it may apply to layouts | 17:38 |
| andybrine | I have been using 13.10 since the release date | 17:38 |
| andybrine | is that a recent update? | 17:38 |
| whoever | andybrine: no i just dicoverd it with custom set keyboard shortcuts | 17:39 |
| andybrine | ok thanks | 17:39 |

| hitsujiTMO | gregf_: ok, but where exactly are you getting stuck? or is it that you don't know what to do? | 18:14 |
| k1l_ | JediMaster: check the mirror you are using with apt-get. maybe you need to run the main servers if that mirror is outdated somehow | 18:14 |
| k1l_ | JediMaster: that is a bad idea, too | 18:14 |

| lickalott | i don't know what command you're talking about. if you want to create a .desktop file (for just you) you have to make a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications. If you want it available so you can drop it on unity you have to put it in /usr/share/applications | 19:22 |

| mediawork | weird, I have a 32 bit processor but 3GB or RAM. | 19:27 |
| lickalott | why is that weird? | 19:27 |
| mediawork | on the ubuntu download page it says if you have | 19:27 |

| jhutchins | mediawork: Dual Core though. | 19:32 |

| Sophie1 | Hi, if Ubuntu's windowing system is switching to Mir in 14.04 does that mean that proprietary drivers would have to support it? And are they going to, if not does that mean no 3D acceleration? | 19:56 |
| rypervenche | funky: I would not run that. The -i in sed will replace symbolic links with files. | 19:57 |
| rypervenche | funky: Unless you really know what it will run on, there are better ways to do that. | 19:57 |
| jhutchins | Sophie1: That might be a question for the developers mailing lists. | 19:57 |

| jhutchins | funky: There are rename utilities. | 19:59 |

| xauth | ianorlin: true. | 20:22 |
| Beldar | michagogo|cloud, Swap is helpful, it is used for several things, it depends on the memory you have now and what you need. | 20:22 |
| Beldar | michagogo|cloud, Theoretically if you have a lot of memory and have no need to hibernate you can forgo a swap, however it does cache stuff in general at times. | 20:24 |

| jgcampbell300 | Rubas, well i am in need of a every day desktop to work with ... and i would like to learn much more about wine so i had planned on setting up two partitions with ubuntu one to test and one to use every day .. along with experimenting with xenserver | 20:56 |
| jhutchins | gmachine_24: You can run fsck at reboot before the drives are mounted by doing sudo shutdown -Fr now | 20:56 |
| gmachine_24 | so I don't keep hogging space I've combined my posts here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6875223/ | 20:56 |

| gmachine_24 | jhutchins, thanks for that. will it bring me to a command prompt? | 20:56 |
| jhutchins | gmachine_24: Depending on the condition of your disks it should just be a normal reboot other than the disk check. | 20:57 |
| Rubas | jgcampbell300: use LTS for everyday use (stable partition) use 13.10 for development / testing / having fun - I would say, or maybe I would use debian for the stable partition | 20:57 |
| gmachine_24 | jhutchins, ok. it's an ssd drive. I assume the rules are the same......... | 20:57 |
| jhutchins | gmachine_24: So far yes. | 20:57 |
| Rubas | jgcampbell300: what are you going to do with wine btw? | 20:58 |
| jgcampbell300 | rubas, i have been having tons of problems with debian preforance on desktop | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | jgcampbell300: I would set up 12.04 and start learning to use it. | 20:58 |
| jhutchins | jgcampbell300: After you're comfortable you can learn about upgrading and try newer versions. | 20:58 |
| Rubas | jhutchins: +1 | 20:58 |
| gmachine_24 | jhutchins, ok. will do and I will report back | 20:58 |
| gmachine_24 | thanks :-) | 20:59 |
| jhutchins | jgcampbell300: Even better than learning wine is learning to do things with native Linux software, which is often even better than the Windows equivalents. | 20:59 |
| jgcampbell300 | i want to learn to use wine becouse i am gamer and do alot of work with ms based clients im trying to get away from windows | 20:59 |

| jhutchins | SomeDude: Using allow overrid (htaccess) has a significant performance hit, I just put the directives in the site config. | 21:01 |
| jgcampbell300 | think im gona go with 12.04 ... so to be clear If i use apt-get dist-upgrade it will stay at 12.04 ? | 21:01 |
| Rubas | jgcampbell300: then install 12.04 (LTS = Long Term Support) and learn the basics in it :) | 21:02 |
| Rubas | jgcampbell300: why do apt-get dist-upgrade? | 21:02 |
| jhutchins | SomeDude: WIth allow override the server has to check every directory in the tree of every page it hits. | 21:02 |
| jgcampbell300 | rubas, from time to time it says i have updates and to get them to run that | 21:02 |
| jgcampbell300 | !apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:02 |
| jhutchins | jgcampbell300: Unless you take additional measures that will just upgrade within the release you have. | 21:03 |
| gmachine_24 | jhutchins, rebooted and I wound up at the long-in screen which was fine but then after signing in I get the gray screen with an icon pointer/arrow and that's it.. I can move the pointer around... but that doesn't help | 21:03 |
| gmachine_24 | should I reinstall the desktop? | 21:03 |
| jhutchins | jgcampbell300: dist-upgrade allows pacakges to be replaced and the kernel to be upgraded, within the release. | 21:03 |
| k1l_ | jgcampbell300: apt-get dist-upgrade will not bring you to 12.10 | 21:03 |
| Rubas | jgcampbell300: i think apt-get update & apt-get upgrade should be cool - in the system ;) | 21:03 |
| jhutchins | gmachine_24: Sounds like X may be starting but the Desktop can not. | 21:03 |
| k1l_ | !apt-get | jgcampbell300 | 21:04 |
| ubottu | jgcampbell300: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 21:04 |

| gmachine_24 | jhutchins, uhm........... yes. gparted. | 21:04 |
| jhutchins | gmachine_24: Check the files (especially hidden files) in $HOME to make sure that they are owned by your users. | 21:04 |
| jhutchins | gmachine_24: One way to check if this is the problem is to add a new user and try to log in as them. | 21:04 |
| gmachine_24 | jhutchins: ok. thanks. | 21:05 |
| jgcampbell300 | jhutchins, ok thanks ... i bleave i have it now ... im going to keep debian 7 ... but install ubuntu 12.04 for a stable desktop another 12.04 for testing ... i have been running my servers on 12.04 as well ... i just noticed that 10.04 seems to have the lts for server .. is that right | 21:05 |

| ubottu | overratedsnowbal: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 22:12 |
| microsoft_ | is there a way to restore default apps, or restore uninstalled packages? | 22:13 |
| microsoft_ | I remove by mistake all system packages, like terminal and stuff, I need to restore them, is there a way? | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | SpartanS63: what if you boot to the official ubuntu kernel rather than the unofficial one youbare using.... | 22:13 |
| overratedsnowbal | ubottu: spot on, thanks. although do these differentiate between zero and thin clients? | 22:14 |
| ubottu | overratedsnowbal: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:14 |
| SpartanS63 | I haven't tried that yet. I didn't even think of that. I'll try booting on the 3.11 kernel. | 22:14 |
| SpartanS63 | The kernel I'm using is from the mainline kernel PPA, if that makes any difference... | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | overratedsnowbal: you will be using rdp or vnc to connect to a server | 22:14 |
| SpartanS63 | Here, I'll reboot with the official kernel and let you know what happens. Be back in a few. | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | SpartanS63: its not from the official ubuntu repos so we cannot support it here | 22:15 |
| overratedsnowbal | ActionParsnip: ok, i'll research, ltsp, rdp and vnc | 22:15 |
| overratedsnowbal | :) | 22:15 |
| SpartanS63 | Alright, I'll be right back. | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | overratedsnowbal: thin clients are handy. Central management is great | 22:16 |
| overratedsnowbal | ActionParsnip: thin better then zero? This is for my front room, no fans or hdd allowed. | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | overratedsnowbal: id say thin but both have advantages | 22:17 |

| ejuan | dmesg |grep HDA also does not show my video card or hdmi | 22:19 |
| ejuan | does kernel 3.2 not support ati hdmi audio or would it be more dependent on the video card drivers? | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Rori: it should be possible. Just because nobody answers right now doesnt mean its not possible | 22:21 |
| jhutchins | ejuan: HDMI has been supported since the 2.6 kernels. | 22:22 |
| ejuan | hmm | 22:22 |
| daftykins | ejuan: pretty sure it'll be down to the AMD driver you put on. did you get the latest beta to ensure it supports such a new card? | 22:23 |
| Rori | really i think my issue is just having to partition correctly for a manual dm-crypt install | 22:23 |

| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 22:24 |
| daftykins | using ubuntu on a mac is already funky enough, so usin encryption you're asking for trouble i think | 22:24 |

| linelevel | Hi guys. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. For some reason whenever I attempt to copy a file from any ext* partition to any of my FAT32 USB drives, the transfer almost finishes (gets to 100% or close), but then hangs without finishing. If I yank the USB drive and plug it back in, the file appears to have copied perfectly. | 22:25 |
| ejuan | daftykins, yes i just installed the newest experimental package | 22:25 |
| linelevel | But I can't figure out why it hangs like that and forces me to yank the drive without a safe ejection. Can anyone help? | 22:25 |

| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: okay, we'll wait a bit for the output, but thanks to daftykins you might be with a working driver pretty soon | 23:21 |
| Somelauw_ | PinnacleDawn: You can recover the password by logging in with secure mode and to reset the password from there. | 23:21 |
| gmachine_24 | PinnacleDawn: I gave you links to how-tos on recovering your password and you never responded. | 23:22 |
| Flat4ForLife | The live USB won't work, I'll just have to type it | 23:22 |
| gmachine_24 | Before I gave you the one that starts at ubuntu one you have to do something | 23:22 |
| glitsj16 | dougl: i don't know for sure the saucy version will work correct, but you can always ppa-purge it when it doesn't .. so not that much risk involved, but ask around, i never used it | 23:22 |
| PinnacleDawn | i did what it said in the first link and it only briefly booted my operating system there was just a blinking undersscore on the screen | 23:23 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: well, nothing to be done about that, we'll see how it goes on the fly | 23:23 |
| PinnacleDawn | im having to boot into previous versions of my operating system to get it to work at all now | 23:24 |
| gmachine_24 | PinnacleDawn: so your computer boots normally to the sign-in screen and you've just forgotten your password? | 23:24 |
| overratedsnowbal | can anyone help me troubleshoot my nfs connection please | 23:25 |
| overratedsnowbal | overratedsnowball@cherry:~$ sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 tomato:/mnt/ufs/movies /mnt/movies | 23:25 |
| overratedsnowbal | mount.nfs4: mounting tomato:/mnt/ufs/movies failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory | 23:25 |
| PinnacleDawn | my computer boots as the terminal | 23:25 |
| overratedsnowbal | overratedsnowball@cherry:~$ showmount -e tomato | 23:25 |
| overratedsnowbal | Export list for tomato: | 23:25 |
| overratedsnowbal | /mnt/ufs/movies * | 23:25 |
| PinnacleDawn | at least it used to i was going to ask you how to fix that after id gotten my password back | 23:26 |
| PinnacleDawn | but now it doesnt boot at all | 23:26 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: so you can't do anything on the ubuntu right now? if so we can make a paste with instructions, it's probably best to purge all things nvidia you tried and start afresh.. | 23:26 |
| gmachine_24 | PinnacleDawn: can you boot into a recovery mode | 23:27 |
| PinnacleDawn | but i can get it to work if i go too boot perious versions but i still dont have my passowrd | 23:27 |
| lifebird64 | does gnome-keyring have some sort of maximum passphrase length? I have an RSA keypair where my passphrase works fine via ssh-agent/ssh-add on the command line, but gnome-keyring keeps me in a loop as if I've entered the wrong passphrase. I admit my passphrase is a little long but not exceesively so. | 23:27 |
| PinnacleDawn | and what do i do from there | 23:27 |
| Flat4ForLife | That's right, can't boot into it normally at all, just recovery. Heres the paste from the last command you asked http://paste.ubuntu.com/6875922/ | 23:28 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: okay, recovery could be enough, having a look | 23:28 |
| Flat4ForLife | I have no Ethernet atm so I can't do networking stuff without a GUI to tether to my phone | 23:29 |
| gmachine_24 | Does someone have an absolute dead-set how-to for mr pinnacledawn; I have not used this one but this is the general idea http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 23:29 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: nvidia driver looks installed .. but we can't be sure what version it is, are you usig a PPA for nvidia? | 23:30 |
| Flat4ForLife | That's the last one I installed from, x-edgers or whatever | 23:31 |
| Flat4ForLife | Again, I'm new to this so pardon me if I don't know the lingo | 23:32 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: if you can type over a few commands that should give us what we need .. ah, xorg-edgers, so likely the very latest 331.20 or 331.38 then .. can you boot into recovery and give output of: sudo dkms status please | 23:32 |

| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: quite allright, we'll take it one step at a time | 23:32 |
| gmachine_24 | PinnacleDawn: recovering a password in Ubuntu is problematic for many reasons which is why there is no easy answer; you might want to read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2184068&highlight=recover+lost+password | 23:33 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: looking for the nvidia version # and confirmation that it installed okay, if it says anything else besides 'Installed' at the end of the line, please tell us | 23:34 |
| Flat4ForLife | Here's a pic, kinda long http://www.picpaste.com/20140204_163407-TnkqUPHk.jpg | 23:35 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: okay, pics help :) | 23:35 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: okay so it didn't build correctly, like it said on the screen, you were in a read-only system when it tried, but that can't write anything so it failed | 23:37 |
| Flat4ForLife | I could have messed things up with how many different solutions I have tried | 23:37 |
| gmachine_24 | ........ which is why you have several back ups, right? :-) | 23:37 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: i don't think many get it from the first try, i know i didn't .. no problem | 23:37 |
| Flat4ForLife | Lol its a new install so no not really haha | 23:37 |
| Flat4ForLife | So how do I get it in r/w mode? | 23:38 |
| PinnacleDawn | ok now when i go to boot my ubuntu it says "could not write bytes: Broken Pipe" | 23:39 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: first we'll need to know what drive it is: lsblk .. and look for /dev/sdX (the X being a number) .. as you can't paste you'll have to go ov er the list i'm afraid | 23:40 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: after we know what to mount rw it gets easier | 23:41 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: or take another snap of the screen with the output of the command | 23:42 |
| Abel | Hello | 23:42 |
| Abel | I need help with ubuntu | 23:42 |
| Abel | anyone here? | 23:42 |
| Flat4ForLife | Main partition is sda3 ,swap is 4 | 23:43 |
| Abel | I'm trying to install ubuntu and encrypt the entire hard disk, but I can't seem to get the option to encrypt the hard disk | 23:43 |
| Abel | the options doesn't show up | 23:43 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: okay: sudo mount -o remount, rw /dev/sda3 | 23:44 |
| gmachine_24 | PinnacleDawn: does that mean you reset your password | 23:44 |
| Abel | All I see is "Erase Ubuntu" and "Sometime else", there's no option to encrypt | 23:44 |
| gmachine_24 | Abei - it's during set up usually | 23:44 |
| gmachine_24 | i.e. the install | 23:44 |
| Abel | yes, I'm in the setup | 23:44 |
| Flat4ForLife | You must specificy the file system type | 23:45 |
| Flat4ForLife | Is what it says | 23:45 |
| Abel | under "Installation Type" I don't see the option to encrypt | 23:45 |
| gmachine_24 | Abei are you installing on a system that already has an ubuntu install | 23:45 |
| Somelauw_ | Hi, I'm trying to change my gtk-settings using lxappearance, but none of the changes I make seems to get saved. | 23:45 |
| gmachine_24 | !ask | 23:45 |
| Abel | Yes, it already has ubuntu | 23:45 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: ok: sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda3 / | 23:45 |
| gmachine_24 | Abei well that's what it is asking. if you want to erase that | 23:46 |
| gmachine_24 | one step at a time | 23:46 |
| glitsj16 | mind the syntax and spaces etc | 23:46 |
| Flat4ForLife | Ah, stupid spaces | 23:46 |
| Flat4ForLife | Ok | 23:46 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: no errors or questions this time? | 23:46 |
| Flat4ForLife | Nope | 23:46 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: next step: sudo apt-get purge nvidia* | 23:47 |
| Abel | Yes, but even after I erase the old ubuntu, I just goes and procedes to installing ubuntu, still doesn't let me encrypt hard disk | 23:47 |
| === FloodBot1 is now known as Guest74102 | ||
| Flat4ForLife | It was 304 version, just an FYI. OK they are purged | 23:48 |
| gmachine_24 | Abel: so you don't see this https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/11/privacy-ubuntu-1210-full-disk-encryption what version of ubuntu are you installing | 23:49 |
| Abel | No, I only see the first and last option | 23:49 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: ok, good to know, we'll better check what you can actually install: apt-cache policy nvidia* .. that'll be a longer list, we're looking for the highest numbered package called nvidia-xxx, so you can disregard the rest of the output | 23:50 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: take your time for this, or we run the risk of having to start again heh | 23:51 |
| Flat4ForLife | 313 updates seems to be the latest | 23:51 |
| Flat4ForLife | How can I do a page output | 23:51 |
| Abel | gmachine_24 what do you think it could be? | 23:51 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: no 319 in sight? what do you mean by page output? | 23:52 |
| gmachine_24 | Abel: what version of ubuntu are you using | 23:52 |
| Flat4ForLife | Page by page since the list is so long | 23:52 |
| Abel | 12.04.3 LTS | 23:53 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: ow we won't need the whole list, i've checked on packages.ubuntu.com what versions are available for 13.10 | 23:53 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: to check: apt-cache policy nvidia-331 | 23:54 |
| Flat4ForLife | OK there's just versions that I can't see | 23:54 |
| digs | Can anyone give me advice on moving to 13 from 12 for my AWS server? Is it a smart move/ | 23:54 |
| Flat4ForLife | Can't locate that one it says | 23:54 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: yes, we'll test a few of the latest one so we should get it | 23:54 |
| gmachine_24 | Abel: it's available on the alternate install and should be available to encrypt the version you have but only the home drive | 23:54 |
| digs | The server is only running apache, varnish and memcache. - It's sole function is a web server. | 23:54 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: good, apt-cache policy nvidia-319 | 23:55 |
| Jabo | digs: then why upgrade? | 23:55 |
| digs | That is my question heh. | 23:55 |
| gmachine_24 | Abel: I guess I meant the home partition :-) | 23:55 |
| Flat4ForLife | Found that one, 319.31 | 23:55 |
| Flat4ForLife | 32 sorry | 23:55 |
| digs | I don't see a reason, but it is there and I am about to deploy this as a replacement for my current VPS solution. | 23:55 |
| gmachine_24 | that is the /home partition | 23:56 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: great, that's the one we'll be installing again: sudo apt-get install nvidia-319 .. and let the command run, can take a few, it should build the driver module | 23:56 |
| Jabo | digs: if it's 12.04 then I don't see a point in upgrade as you have long term update support etc | 23:56 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: if you see the command doing anything wonky or erroring out, tell us so | 23:57 |
| Flat4ForLife | I have no Ethernet ATM (I know, horrible troubleshooting. But at work) is there a way to connect using USB or wifi to my phone through command prompt? | 23:57 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: we will ask the channel for help on that one, i am terrible with that :) | 23:58 |
| Flat4ForLife | Or possibly get back to nouveau and use the GUI to connect? | 23:58 |
| Somelauw_ | what happened to gksudo? | 23:58 |
| glitsj16 | Flat4ForLife: that should work yes, so Ctrl+C the install if you started it and reboot | 23:59 |
| Flat4ForLife | I think not, seeing as how my ifconfig shows no wlan interface | 23:59 |
| Abel | thanks man, will download the alt version | 23:59 |
| Flat4ForLife | OK how can I force it to use nouveau? | 23:59 |
