[00:43] Isaac: yes [00:44] I say yes, it is a damn question, Jabo.. [00:44] !details | Isaac [00:44] Isaac: 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 ..." [00:45] Isaac: what are you asking? [00:45] Isaac: you just said "Mplayer on ubuntu 13.10?" [00:46] Fellas, I couldn't find how to install the latest mplayer on ubuntu 13.10. [00:46] Isaac: sudo apt-get install mplayer [00:46] Can I follow this one: http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-gnome-mplayer-on-ubuntu-13-04/ [00:46] Isaac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer#Installing_MPlayer [00:46] The link above shows one 'dev' ppa.. [00:47] Isaac: that will install a PPA, are you sure you want a PPA? [00:47] Isaac: what is wrong with the version ubuntu ships? [00:47] personally I much prefer VLC over Mplayer [00:48] Jabo, i already saw the ubuntu help page.. I just do not know if is the latest version. [00:48] the latest version should be on that repo [00:48] Isaac: again: why not the ubuntu repo version? what is the üproblem? [00:48] dont go with the old windows habbits, that the latest got to be the best for the system [00:48] Actually, I have installed VLC from official ppa. I have much video tearing and it is very annoying. [00:49] Ok. I will just do 'apt-get install mplayer' .. [00:49] Isaac i had videt tearing also [00:49] mplayer will not fix this for you [00:49] think that's a driver issue in general [00:50] it's a vsync issue [00:50] Amd sucks.. [00:50] exactly [00:50] Isaac with intel there is the TearFree option [00:50] hi halfburnttoast [00:50] fabio123: [00:51] but i'm just using vsync with kde and the tearing is gone... tearing is way xorg is going away [00:51] Xuisce, hi === fabio123_ is now known as fabio123 [00:52] I think it is really a driver issue. Meantime, I'm using the Open Source drivers and is much better. Ok, I had to disable my graphic card because was too loud, anyway is bettrer now. [00:52] I can see lots of squares when playing a HD video.. [00:53] i i change my default package manager from Ubuntu Software Center back to gDebi like in old versions, are there any possible downsides to this? I like the software center, but gdebi loaded so much faster [00:53] if i change***** [00:53] fabio123: I think I will buy another laptop. Maybe an Asus with intel.. [00:54] Isaac, you can fix it or just wait for mir on ubuntu === LjL-Card is now known as LjL-Moorcock [00:55] Question: I'd like to run a GUI-based java application (which I can access with its provided API) on Unbutu Server with no GUI support. Is there any trick to do so? [00:55] from wayland wiki "every frame is perfect, by which I mean that applications will be able to control the rendering enough that we'll never see tearing, lag, redrawing or flicker." [00:56] When we'll get Tarh 14.04lts? [00:56] howdy - I'm on 12.10 for the moment, and want to get at a more current nginx binary. I've added the ppa: repo, done my install, and am still getting an older version (1.2.1) when I run $ nginx -v -- followed these steps, for reference http://www.jeffmould.com/2013/10/19/upgrading-nginx-ubuntu-12-04/ [00:56] fabio123, i dont think i have any of those probs now [00:57] Isaac, do you have amd there? [00:57] i like x window system, and am hopeful about the future [00:57] fabio123: Yes. [00:57] while i know there is a grub channel, is anyone here bored enough to try and help me figure out a boot issue with ubuntu? [00:57] Isaac, EnableTearFreeDesktop is there for you [00:57] fabio123: apu 13500 with radeon 6620G [00:58] fabio123: i'm running with Open Source Xorg drivers. I don't have amdcccle. [00:59] Isaac, something like this "" sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-u32=DDX,EnableTearFreeDesktop,1 "" can do the trick but i have no amd here so i'm not sure [00:59] EyePulp, did you update the sources after adding the ppa before you ran the install [00:59] Beldar: I did. Wondering if I did it incorrectly though. I'll verify [01:01] EyePulp, I see 1.4 on the ppa page for quantal === BrandonS is now known as BrandonB [01:02] Beldar: right - which makes me sure I'm screwing up [01:02] =) [01:02] Isaac, http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index2h2 vsync section === HDRDanny is now known as NotHdrDany [01:03] https://launchpad.net/~lightdm-gtk-greeter-team/+archive/stable [01:03] Who is using it?

[01:06] hello everyone [01:07] hi [01:07] chaotix, let's wait and see [01:07] fabio123, so you dont know? ;) [01:07] i got a question is it necessary to update your kernal? [01:07] depends on what you mean by necessary, latrolltrolol [01:08] fabio123: chaotix MIR is supposed to ship with 14.10. that is quite far away now. [01:08] any reason [01:08] as far as just running whatever you have currently, no [01:08] latrolltrolol: yes, it gets security and bug fixes [01:08] ok [01:08] but, for security yes [01:08] Beldar: $ sudo apt-get --purge autoremove nginx doesn't find nginx installed, but does find: libgd2-noxpm* nginx-common* nginx-full* that need removal [01:08] and for future updates, they may require it [01:08] ok [01:08] chaotix, i will never know because i'm with kde5+wayland by then [01:08] its "highly recommended" just not "necessary" i guess you could say [01:08] i see :) [01:10] EyePulp, I'm not familiar with that package so not knowing the dependencies I can't offer anything there. [01:10] Beldar: no worries- I'll noodle around with it. thanks for the ear. === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [01:15] theres a crap load of people leaving/joining this channel daily, I'm surprised [01:19] How would one go about removing the title text from the title bar of application windows? [01:23] i have a question [01:24] if i were to disable the global menu, so that all the application windows had a menu again, could I get them to hide that menu until I press alt? [01:24] i believe I once had this kind of a set up in an earlier version of ubuntu before unity. [01:30] i would like to make a suggestion but i am not sure where it should go... pressing super+up maximises a window, while super+left and super+right tile the window to take up the left and right halves of the screen, respectfully, which is an awesome feature... what i would like to see is key combos that make the window tile to the top and bottem halves of the screen, respectively [01:30] what do you think? [01:31] although this is official support, your comments aren't going to get fed back to anyone [01:31] also the former is just windows 7 behaviour, i wasn't aware Ubuntu had copied that [01:32] yeah, i know [01:32] but linux doesn't copy windows/mac, it improves on them [01:33] i'd like to see someone try to move through windows 7 and complete all their work/play without needing to use the mouse at all unless they want to [01:33] it's impossible [01:33] oops, i thought i was in ubuntu-offtopic [01:33] :) [01:33] bye [01:33] i actually do do that. [01:34] but yes, off topic you are [01:34] in windows? [01:34] yup [01:34] alt+space. [01:35] yeah, there's that, but in ubuntu, and in gnome shell, just about anything you can do with a mouse can be done with keyboard combos [01:35] in ubuntu for ex, the top panel, the launcher, the dash, not to mention HUD [01:35] yeah carry on in off topic. [01:36] will do [01:41] are there any programs that will give me awesome readouts on my desktop in ubuntu like seen in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2JMeooiRMw? [01:44] Cheekio: look into Conky [01:45] gkrellm also [01:46] Apparently I also need to drop my font size by like half [01:47] hi. can someone explain to me the -n option here? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ln.1.html [01:48] i don't really get that explanation provided there [01:49] maximski: are you trying to use it? [01:50] daftykins i see it in some code that i am working trough and i am not entirely sure why it's there [01:52] how good is ubuntu's interface? [01:52] cccfire: very good :) [01:53] I kind of want ubuntu, but ive got a mac. :( [01:53] maximski: http://compgroups.net/comp.unix.shell/ln-n-question/506738 [01:54] so i can run macOS and ubuntuOS at the same time? [01:54] cccfire: download it and try it. [01:54] there is no obligation to install and no obligation to purchase! [01:54] I don't know... [01:54] (that second bit was a joke) [01:55] does it have a version of commandline? [01:55] romaniac737 perfect, thank you :) [01:57] I don't have admin on my computer either, so I'm probably going to try it once i get a computer of my own. [02:04] Quick question for a Ubuntu expert.... I want to setup a Ubuntu LAMP server to do some basic web development and learn some new things, but I want to run it within my windows desktop environment, is there an easy way I can run it in a VM, but still have the functionality expected with LAMP (ports open, connectivity, etc) [02:04] Or am I better off installing on a dedicated box instead of trying to run parallel [02:07] kDaser: install in virtualbox/vmware used bridged networking... it will work like a standalone box === aragorn is now known as entah === entah is now known as aragorn [02:08] thanks james === aragorn is now known as safridzal === safridzal is now known as hatori === hatori is now known as blackshirt [02:16] If you use bridged, it will connect to the network, get its own dhcp lease, etc [02:16] You can also use the NAT mode with port forwarding === blackshirt is now known as Guest31245 === Guest31245 is now known as safridzal === paul_ is now known as paulus68 === ldunn is now known as Idunn === Idunn is now known as ldunn [02:20] how supported is ubuntu? Can it run everything mac and windows can run? [02:21] cccfire: no [02:21] What can it run? [02:21] Now, there are things like Wine, which allows you, with varying degrees of success, to run Windows software [02:21] huh. [02:22] ubuntu/linux applications [02:22] I don't know if that kind of thing exists for OS X [02:22] things like wine help with emulating windows [02:22] Does it have it's own version of command line/terminal? === duoi_afk is now known as duoi [02:23] But just like something that runs on OS X won't necessarily run on Windows, and vice versa, things that run on them may or may not have Ubuntu versions [02:23] with VirtualBox you can run a virtual Windows or OSX machine within Ubuntu [02:23] Lil: Wine Is Not an Emulator [02:23] that's what I do when I need MS Office or my CAD software [02:23] That makes sense [02:24] (It's right in the name) [02:24] daftykins: conky rules. [02:27] Howdy. [02:28] I am trying to compile a c++ program using libevent but when I try to use its functions g++ always gives me undefined references to libevents functions.

[03:06] any ideas what might've caused this? [03:07] rypervenche: my bad! [03:07] 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, 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? [03:07] If I boot into Windows (I have both OSes installed), the problem is nonexistent (but of course, then I have to boot into Windows...). [03:08] ^ It also hangs when I use other copying tools like rsync. [03:08] How do I make a USB version of my Ubuntu install?

Does DD be the solution ? Can DD clone the Grub bootloader too ? [03:27] usr13: I don't have X installed; command-line install from alternate cd. funny part is they still put freakin' plymouth on there so I had to disable that or it actually brought up -- yes, a graphical splash screen -- on a 'command line install' [03:27] heh === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [03:28] Hi ! have you ever tried cloning a HDD containing Windows, Fedora and Ubuntu ?

[03:29] UltraSPORK: Well, I dono. upstart is still out of my league. (This type of stuff was easier before, just change the runlevel in inittab.) [03:29] Ethan_, clonezilla saves the mbr.

[03:33] I forgot service networking restart [03:34] Ethan_, clonezilla will put the cloned partitions where you want them, I have only done more that one partition at a time when I was transferring the whole HD to another, so it is a matter of using menu in your circumstance.

[03:36] Ethan_: But, check out g4u (dd would be very slow in comparison) [03:37] usr13: How slow ? Will it take 4-5 Hours ? [03:37] Ethan_: Not sure, but yea, will take hours... [03:37] Ethan_: Depending on what's there [03:37] Beldar: I cant see any menu in clone zilla to choose specific destination drive ! [03:38] Ethan_: Clonezilla or g4u will be *much* faster. [03:38] Beldar: Same with "Redo backup and recovery" ! [03:38] ... but, you may not care how long it takes .... [03:39] Ethan_, Clonezilla has a lot of options, I use just one with regularity, single clones. [03:39] hey when did ubuntu start supporting multiarch? (the switch from /lib64 to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/)? [03:39] opty: Pretty long time.... [03:40] usr13: +1 [03:40] usr13: kernel version? [03:40] I dono... [03:40] Does clonezilla fully support ext4 ? Ext4 is marked in red on their website ?! [03:40] ! [03:40] Ethan_, At the minute I'm doing a backup of 1 TB to another drive right now with rsync myself. [03:40] !multiarch [03:40] opty: Why would kernel version have any thing to do with it?

[03:45] yes, updated grub...hold it. wild. it's working on a machine with a radeon-based card and not on a machine with a rage128 based card. both i have just going into 'text mode', but the rage128 one insists on making a weird-looking ultra-low-res-text-mode font [03:46] will look into it [03:47] UltraSPORK: I'm looking at /etc/default/grub and I would assume that changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" would do the trick. [03:47] UltraSPORK: But you'd have to run sudo update-grub afterward. Right? [03:49] UltraSPORK: Did you try it?

[04:09] duko: you've been told to go to #ubuntu-touch already [04:13] hi guys [04:16] after i had downloaded AdobeAIRInstaller.bin with firefox, running the .bin file, an "choose an application" dialog is shown. [04:16] i want to run the .bin file. [04:17] does ubuntu 12.04 and up's initrd load CIS updates for pcmcia? [04:17] hi [04:17] duko: chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin && ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin [04:17] dupingpingorig: ^^ [04:17] dupingpingorig - not as root do what somsip said [04:18] oh i see. [04:18] but it's incomfortable. [04:18] i'm not trusthing adobe any more than microsoft, and i've been a mcse since '99. And that's not something to be proud of either. [04:18] i want to don't use command line. [04:19] dupingpingorig, maybe it's better for you to use a operating system that has a gui installer for every package on the planet :) isn't AIR available in apt? i know it's in sabayon.org linux's repos too. [04:20] hi [04:22] dupingpingorig, the whole point of linux is it doesn't get screwed up, because you don't have people running programs as the administrator to install stuff. When you do that all day and download programs from every where and then execute the code you don't trust without 3rd party verification.. you going to get a dirty messy system. Basically it's taking more risks with your PC than if you didn't use condoms and used sex workers. Linux is the solution to the [04:22] problem that is windows. The learning curve is always worth it for the more elegant solution, or you can stay a whore munger. Up to you ;) [04:22] thank you for not hiding the scrollbars in ubuntu 13.10, it's as if os makers think people are no longer interested in reaching the bottom of a webpage :)) [04:22] !language | hojuruku [04:22] hojuruku: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:23] but at some level most of the linux peeps here agree with me. It had to be said. Using Windows is a great way to get a STD, also known as malicious code (virus, trojan, spyware etc) [04:23] ubuntu 13.10 is fairly slow for some reason though.. [04:24] just installed it, it's barely moving [04:24] hojuruku: I am not going to warn you again [04:24] !guidelines > hojuruku [04:24] hojuruku, please see my private message [04:24] I use windows daily since 1995, only had a handful of viruses really... [04:25] guideX, windows / mac OS are MACH based microkernels. Linux is monolythic. A modern linux kernel properly tuned, with apps custom compiled for your aritecture with the latest gcc (or even better with a light glibc) will always cream a windoze box for performance. Again it's the elegant solution. [04:25] guideX, do you know what co-intel-pro means? [04:25] hmm not really [04:25] guideX good, i was worried. [04:25] Can we please stick to Ubuntu support in here, take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. [04:26] so does anyone know how to improve the performance in ubuntu 13.10? my vm seems extremely slow [04:26] IdleOne, maybe an ubuntu guru could tell me how you manage your pcmcia in 12.04+ are you still going against the grain and using pcmcia-cs/pcmciautils? [04:27] I think it's all the fancy animations [04:27] and fadeins and stuff.. is there a way to disable all that stuff? [04:27] guideX, and we have a winner. It's in a VM. That means limited memory, slow storage, and it's probably not bare mental paravirtualiztaion. Qemu without zen takes half a day to install windows for god sake, you think it's going to be any faster if you virtualize a generic linux kernel? [04:28] hojuruku, what you just said makes no sense [04:28] I suppose it would be slower, but perhaps I can trim off the fat I don't need, like these ui effects [04:28] "bare metal pv" [04:28] I think it's only because I have no access to the video card from the vm [04:28] ^mental^metal - probalby is paravirtualiztion not using the features in modern cpus. Vt-d etc (vt-d is a @$#@ to setup - requires right motherboard, bios etc etc) [04:29] so can't use all of its features, like video accelleration [04:29] guideX: 1) use a hypervisor that can offer some 3D capability *OR* 2) don't use an OS that requires 3D acceleration in a VM. [04:30] oic.. I thought maybe there's some settings somewhere I can change to turn off the extra effects in ubuntu slowing me down.. [04:30] guideX, what you want is xen with pci passthrough for the video card. Because you are a windows type get the ex-commercian xenserver for free use that as your hypervisor not eVil M$ hyper-v that even unbuntu has to put custom kernels out for to accomidate. [04:30] actually i'm using virtualbox hojuruku [04:30] I couldn't get most os's to work in hypervisor, so I uninstalled it [04:31] ex-commerial.. i don't know what's happening my pi isn't as good as dealing with the keyboard interrupts as my geode. [04:31] hojuruku: that is not going to help at all. also it's not called 'unbuntu' [04:31] hyperv will only install guest os's which support hyperv [04:31] it doesn't do the opposite of 'buntu' :P [04:31] .. meaning windows [04:31] daftykins, wow i corrected myself before you got around to. [04:31] meaning hyperv is totally worthless! lol [04:31] hojuruku: er, no you didn't [04:32] anyways.. in virtualbox, my video accelleration isn't really ported to the vm. [04:32] or emulated [04:32] install something else === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [04:32] guideX, virtualbox is borrowed with another linux distribution in wont mention again out of the box. Virtualbox tools and QEMU with PXL driver can support accelerated remote consoles. That's the only good things going for them. [04:32] i hot error: hd0 out of disk at startup with a grub rescue prompt. wtf [04:32] oic [04:32] by that I mean 2d acceleration only for rdp [04:33] well I think i'll come back in a short time, gonna pick up some kfc, I'll try to solve this debocle then... [04:33] yeah i'd recommend ignoring hojuruku [04:33] perhaps xfce will solve my issue [04:33] ikr [04:33] yes it will [04:33] or rather, avoid the issue [04:33] it's too bad unity doesn't have some kind of gfx effects settings dialog (or perhaps it does)? [04:34] i recomend sabayon linux that has strong support for what you want to use virtualbox, in the gnome images, all the hardware drivers nicely setup ready to go. then make sure your guest gets the virtualbox drivers and you'll do what you want [04:34] where I can pick and choose the effects I wanna use [04:34] sabayon eh? never heard of it [04:34] i'll give it a looksie [04:34] guideX, or you can do it the ubuntu way and if you can't spend hours here begging for help from the the masters of forking from mainline, writing custom patchsets and expecting everyone else to catch up on their own. [04:35] oh you mean make the changes I want myself.. [04:35] that's a good idea, I've actually thought about doing that before, jumping right in and such.. [04:36] do you two come in a boxset? [04:36] it's hard to take time out of my windows projects :)) [04:36] hello [04:36] * Flat4ForLife thinks people have nothing else to do with their time [04:37] hi daniel-gnu [04:38] well going for kfc, bbl [04:39] DIY is always better in linux.

[06:18] presonic, are you concerned about the "machines with less than 2 GB" part? That's just a recommendation, doesn't mean you can't use more that 2GB. With 32 bit default kernel, you can use upto 3.5 GB of your RAM [06:18] presonic: I understood that the current kernel was PAE-enabled anyway. So you should be fine [06:18] I installed Ubuntu 12.04 but it works too much slow.. [06:19] ok === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away [06:20] presonic, it is recommended to download via torrents though. Faster download and guaranty of download's integrity : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [06:21] k [06:22] presonic, PAE kernel, if not automatically installed, can be installed later manually. But it has been reported to be buggy many times, so not recommended unless you really need it (that is, have 4 GB or more RAM) [06:22] ChiragParekhMCA, what are the specs of your system? Ram, CPU? [06:23] varunendra: " but from 12.10 only the PAE releases are maintained." from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE with loads of other info [06:24] cpu dual core and 2 gb ram [06:24] somsip, wasn't aware of that, thanks for the link :) [06:24] ChiragParekhMCA, and running default Ubuntu with Unity? [06:25] varunendra: I only found out recently. I was giving the same advice as you were on PAE, then found it was actually more difficult to install non-PAE nowadays... [06:25] Yes..running with unity [06:26] ChiragParekhMCA, try Xubutu instead. I am currently running on 2GB RAM myself (my additional 4GB one broke). It runs but very slow to respond. And I am on an i3-2330 CPU [06:26] Means problem with unity gui?? [06:27] somsip, well, if they are maintaining pae-only, then maybe we can hope the usual bugs might have been fixed as well, so overall better experience now.. [06:28] Actually i dont aware with pae can you explain me what is pae??? [06:29] ChiragParekhMCA, yes, Unity requires a lot of memory, so does Gnome3. So maybe try Gnome-fallback on your current installation. [06:29] ChiragParekhMCA, PAE=Physical Address Extension - to address more than 4 GB RAM [06:30] otherwise you can't practically use more that 3.5 GB RAM on a 32 bit OS, ChiragParekhMCA [06:30] ohh...sounds really great..first time i heard about it...

[07:25] I recently changed in this "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux" in grub but this fixed another issue for me when it came to a blacklight not during on automatically on boot, i am using xubuntu 12.04 btw [07:25] I am wondering if the auto dim issue can be a software bug or hardware driver? yet the dimmer and everything else works fine === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [07:27] Psil0Cybin: try adding acpi_backlight=vendor [07:27] omg this is sooo wierd [07:28] the auto dim worked without the battery charging [07:28] Psil0Cybin: if that doesn't help, acpi_backlight=legacy [07:28] but when the battery charges it does not work :S odd...even though I place with settings4 [07:28] well the acpi_osi=Linux, did fix an issue, I kinda like it that way [07:28] unless I remove it and just remember to always turn the blacklight on :D [07:28] Psil0Cybin: add to the kernels params, not replace === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:29] i'm learning about git, i can use "git cat-file -t @hash" to display the type of specified git object, what if i only want to list objects with type=tree, how to use shell command to mix with git command to do that? is it possible to to that? [07:29] acpi_osi=Linux (made my computer start with the backlight @ 100%) without it , my computer boots, then turns off backlight and i have to turn it on manually...thus I want to keep that string because I am always worried that if my backlight button would break i would not be able to login loll, thus maybe its better that the back light can start off at 100% then be turned down manually by keys.

[11:59] Are you connecting to the IP address or are you using DNS/hostname? [11:59] ip [12:00] perhaps it is a problem with the known_hosts file? [12:00] IP-adress has changed, but the key remains the same? [12:01] different network ip range? [12:01] are wired and wireless same subnet? [12:01] well I tried with the same ip as well, but the wired network card is not the same as the wireless, so thats may be the problem?

[12:06] when I can connect to the other one just fine [12:07] and i broke after I change something on the linux machine? [12:07] it broke* [12:07] who knows what windoze is doing - it is windoze after all and the ip address did change [12:07] ok thanks anyway [12:08] so your issue is that you can not connect to your linux machine through ssh from a WINDOZ machine? [12:08] while you CAN connect from another linux machine to it? [12:08] why does find -iname "*.odt" doesnt search in subdirectories? What do I have to add to search subdirectories too?

[12:10] but it works on the other linux server with the same netmask [12:11] v1c3, just type in your current directory... do not leave it blank [12:11] why is your ip finishing with 95 [12:11] I have two linus servers one I can connect to one I cannot [12:11] while the linux are 110+ [12:11] because I choose that [12:12] oh ok [12:12] do you have password auth? [12:12] or public/private key? [12:13] I connect to the servers with a password, if that's what you mean [12:13] chemist^: he CLAIMED same machine worked and all that change was that he went from wireless to wired. [12:13] Hello! I want to mount a hard drive from one ubuntu server to another, want to mount it under like /home/user/hdd1, wich would be the easiest way to do this? [12:14] hii alll.. [12:14] Aha, that doesn't make any sense [12:14] I am trying to make my machine to work as WIFi router http://askubuntu.com/questions/105545/make-my-laptop-a-wifi-router [12:14] daaaaaaaaa: over network? or put the disk in that other server? [12:15] but i am using 13.10 and here is nothing such that [12:15] Over internet* Sorry [12:15] daaaaaaaaa: i think nfs [12:15] I just tryed to connect trough a new windows machine didn't work but I can still connect to the other one [12:15] Okey, will take a look at it [12:15] chemist^: I agree - that's why I said CLAIMED - but he fails to mention things all the time till we ask. Look how it took my suggesting ssh before he admitted Windoze [12:16] aha I'm sorry I try to give you as much information as I can, I just find it frustrating that it doesn't work [12:16] rahul_, you cannot have the same wireless interface work as a client and a "router" as you say [12:17] there is an option called wifi tethering [12:17] chemist^: how to do that?? [12:17] !tether [12:17] !tethering [12:17] you need to enable the AD-HOC mode on your wifi adapter [12:18] chemist^: how to do that?? [12:18] rahul_: are you connected with wired connection? [12:18] chemist^: As if here is no option like AD hoc [12:18] k1l: No through Wireless dongle [12:19] hi [12:19] rahul_: so you have 2 wireless devices? [12:19] lol [12:19] Hello [12:19] as i said earlier: rahul_, you cannot have the same wireless interface work as a client and a "router" as you say [12:19] can some1 explain why wireless drivers of windows dont work on ubuntu [12:19] because windows is not ubuntu [12:19] rishabh: because they are made for windows and not ubuntu. use the ubuntu drivers [12:19] rishabh, sure. windows drivers are designed for windows software [12:20] if none of my windows machines can connect to one of my linux server but the other one fine, plus they could connect to the server before I changed the settings on the linux machine, is the problem still on the windows side? [12:20] rahul_, you should find it in your network manager [12:20] Albinix: what did you change on that sevrer? [12:20] k1l: No, i have a Wifi Adapter installed in here and one over my Rpi [12:20] Im trying to download the adove flash player and it asks me for the version, now the choices are: YUM or .tar.gz or .rpm, which one should I pick? [12:20] chemist^: It is not here? [12:20] rahul_: that is not going to work [12:20] sakorty, .tar.gz [12:21] cfhowlett: Thank you [12:21] k1l from my wireless network card to my wired network card. [12:21] rahul_, if you want your laptop to be used as a "wireless router" as you name it.... you must have an active connection to the network VIA AN OTHER ETHERNET DEVICE [12:21] i was looking fr a much elaborate answer ,like could some1 explain me cycle of going from compiling to executing image in memory [12:21] rahul_, another wifi adapter or a cable connection [12:22] rahul_: you need 2 connections on that laptop. on where the internet comes in and one where the wifi to the other client goes out. that cant be done by only one wifi adapter. [12:22] rishabh, good discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic - not here [12:22] ohkk I got it.. [12:23] cfhowlett this channel discusses what exactly,i might hav missed the bus [12:23] !topic|rishabh, [12:23] rishabh,: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [12:23] Oh my gooooood! had fight with Win users. I need a rest -.- [12:23] oh thanks , i am new to irc #newbieerror [12:24] Albinix: does they have different subnets etc? i am sure the failure lies in the network setup in general [12:25] I can connect to it from my other linux server though, and they tell me the problem is on the windows side but I've no idea because it worked before [12:27] Albinix, define "can't connect" [12:27] chemist^: find ~/ -iname "*.odt" doenst find any files either. But there are *.odt files in Subdirectories! [12:27] when I open putty and try to connect it's just showing a black screen, I can connect to my other linux server though [12:28] So uhm I download the flash player, now how do I install it? xD [12:30] Hi. I'm facing the following issue : http://askubuntu.com/questions/398605/empathy-closing-just-after-launching any idea ? [12:30] v1c3: Are you sure they are in subdirectories, and not symbolic links to directories outside your homedir? [12:31] v1c3: because find will avoid following those symbolic links [12:31] geirha: aah, they are in symlinks! what do I have to add to follow symlinks? [12:32] -L [12:32] v1c3: Well, if you provide symlinks to directories to find, it'll follow those, but not ones it finds inside those again [12:33] v1c3: so find ~/*/ -iname "*.odt" might do the trick, but I don't know the directory structure here [12:33] thank you geirha! [12:34] i've got RTO frequently.. yes it is on wireless LAN .. this is my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6891003/ [12:34] v1c3: There's a good reason find does not follow symbolic links by default. If someone where to put a symlink to / or ./ you'd easily end up with infinite recursion [12:35] geirha: Ok, I understand. Seems legit ;) [12:36] i want to install Ubuntu to the flash drive permanently, i want to choose the ext4 filesystem with it, but since ext4 uses journalling , so i am afraid if it can reduce the lifespan of my pendrive, by continously writing to it. [12:37] Tom1, USB stick or actual drive? [12:37] pendrive [12:37] Tom1, so ... cheap, yes? [12:37] i would like to install whole ubuntu os on it [12:37] can it damage the pendrive very soon. [12:37] this is my config interface http://paste.ubuntu.com/6891025/ === Busybyeski is now known as BUSY [12:38] Tom1 not that soon === BUSY is now known as Busybyesk [12:38] Tom1, pendrives are cheap...so don't worry about it too much :) === Busybyesk is now known as Busybyeski [12:38] how about ext2 filesystem, is it robust too? [12:38] just use the ext4 :D [12:38] Tom1, nope. ext4 is the default for good reason [12:38] i have messed up the permissions for /home and /home/dusf, how can i correct them please? [12:39] Tom1: If you select "Manual" (or is it "Advanced") partitioning during installation, you'll be allowed to choose ext2 instead of ext4 [12:39] !details | dusf1_ [12:39] dusf1_: 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 ..." [12:39] with the ext4 filesytem, will the pendrive last atleast 3 years? [12:39] 3 years lol [12:39] :D [12:40] Tom1, i doubt anyone will give you an answer to that :) try and see [12:40] Tom1, make your own coffee, skip starbucks. after 3 months go buy an SSD ... [12:40] cfhowlett +1 :D [12:40] Tom1: the impact form the filesystem is not that big on the duration of that usb stick. [12:40] why do you want to run ubuntu on a usb stick for 3 years? [12:41] well because ssds also have wear levels like pendrives. i mean ssds also have limited lifespan. [12:41] ssds are not like hdd [12:41] Tom1, ALL drives have a limited lifespan [12:42] can i turn off journalling feature in ext4 filesystem? [12:42] Tom1: the duration from ssds is compareable to a hdd on regular desktop use [12:42] hdds get mechanical failures comparable to wear level of ssds [12:43] chemist^: i tried configuring users so no password would be needed for my account on login. after that when i tried to log in some text appeared but it brought me back to the login screen. i fixed this last night deleting .ICEauthority and then sudo chown dusf:dusf ~/.Xauthority, i was then able to login. the very same problem occurred this morning and by accident i deleted not just .ICEauthority but also .Xauthority. rebooting did not generate a new one. [12:43] k1l, and the new ubuntu has native ssd support (forget the name of the program ...) [12:43] Tom1: No, dropping journalling would just make it an ext2 filesystem, so you'd just use ext2 in the first place [12:43] cfhowlett: fstrim or discard [12:43] ext4 is really very robust? can i use reiser? [12:44] you want robust filesystem and ask for reiser? [12:44] dusf1_, damn :) [12:44] is reiser a weak filesystem? [12:45] chemist^: yeah :) i want to wipe the drive soon and install ubuntu server but i would like to go through everything using the GUI to make sure i have everything backed up first [12:45] dusf1_, sorry i have no idea how to restore the xauthority [12:45] chemist^: no problem, thanks for trying [12:45] is anybody reading familiar with this problem? [12:46] chemist^: i have read that it should recreate itself unless the permissions for /home and /home/dusf are incorrect [12:46] i've got RTO frequently.. yes it is on wireless LAN .. this is my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6891003/ [12:46] this is my config interface http://paste.ubuntu.com/6891025/.. how to solve this RTO? [12:46] would you know how to properly correct them> [12:46] ? [12:47] one more question [12:47] can i format /home folder with fat file system, while installing ubuntu? [12:49] Tom1, you can [12:49] Tom1, no you can't/shouldn't [12:49] You can, but you don't want fat === Aha is now known as Jpmh [12:50] Tom1: You likely won't be able to log in if you do [12:51] I am connected via an ethernet cable and the computer has an operational wifi card. What do I need to do to make it an access point? I set ad-hoc mode in edit connections already and the mac address of the wifi card [12:52] cfhowlett: are you sure? because of the permissions that are lost? [12:52] i tried configuring users so no password would be needed for my account on login. after that when i tried to log in some text appeared but it brought me back to the login screen. i fixed this last night deleting .ICEauthority and then sudo chown dusf:dusf ~/.Xauthority, i was then able to login. the very same problem occurred this morning and by accident i deleted not just .ICEauthority but also .Xauthority. rebooting did not generate a new one. i created [12:53] k1l, my understanding (weakly held) is that you CAN use just about any format you want on your install - but why anyone would (1) want a "robust" system and (2) install fat is beyond me [13:01] i tried configuring users so no password would be needed for my account on login. after that when i tried to log in some text appeared but it brought me back to the login screen. i fixed this last night deleting .ICEauthority and then sudo chown dusf:dusf ~/.Xauthority, i was then able to login. the very same problem occurred this morning and by accident i deleted not just .ICEauthority but also .Xauthority. rebooting did not generate a new one. i created [13:10] VIM question: How can I bind a key sequence (like 0f{zf%) to a key, without using macros? [13:12] Thubo: use map in your vimrc [13:12] Thubo: May be better asked in #vim though [13:13] what is the difference between ubuntu, linux, free/BSD. I can understand about Mac & windows as they are Operating system [13:13] & waht is debian? [13:13] Thubo: yeah - there are many different ways of mapping dependant on what you need. That's your starter for 10 though [13:13] a simple nmap z 0f{zf% does not work... [13:13] as_: that's offtopic here. Wiki will help you better [13:13] as_: Ubuntu and Debian are operating systems that use the linux kernel [13:13] I will ask in #vim - i thought maybe someone has a quick answer for that === Legion is now known as Guest23568 [13:14] geirha: thank you [13:14] as_, www.wikipedia.com will answer all such questionos [13:14] join #vim [13:14] -.- === LjL-September is now known as LjL === benjamin is now known as Guest43274 [13:23] how can I export GPG key?

[13:34] !minimal | Busybyeski [13:34] Busybyeski: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:34] thanks! [13:35] Busybyeski: so you setup with the minimal cd, then intall just what you need. CTRL in virtualbox starts a headless server too FWIW [13:36] hi, anyone wise in the ways of samba / fstab?

I'm a complete noob to Ubuntu, and I'm having trouble connecting my cloud service via "copy.com" to Ubuntu. I've installed the app successful, however it will not sync my data. it gives this error message in the app: "Error syncing with cloud: Problem with SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)" [13:41] I've read through the copy.com documentation, but I can't find a solution. this is a completely fresh install [13:41] Busybyeski: Hmm. Maybe I misremember. That didn't work... === mixomathoze_ is now known as mixomathoze [13:42] Busybyeski: shift and Start... not CTRL [13:43] somsip: a bit unfamiliar with this config.. what can i use for hostname/ip to ssh to? [13:44] Busybyeski: well, you have to set that to static first so it doesn't change, or get it off the DHCP allocation on your router. [13:44] it hits the dhcp table even as a vm? === quem_ is now known as quem [13:45] Busybyeski: depends how you set it up.

There is no /root/.Xauthority either, how should I generate that file then? (server 12.10) [13:52] somsip: i have been through many ubuntu solved threads already which has not solved the issue, possibly because there is a combination of problems. as i have said i could not get past login even before i deleted .Xauthority and possibly messed up /home and /dusf permissions. i am trying your link now, will let you know, thanks. [13:52] worm`: did you run startx as root [13:52] er [13:52] with sudo [13:52] did you run it with sudo [13:53] Don't do that, delete the .Xauthroity in your home folder as it's likely owned by root [13:54] G002 [13:54] Grr, wrong window [13:54] I didn't, and there is no .Xauthority in the user's folder [13:54] home folder* [13:55] worm`: start the lightdm and not startx [13:55] somsip: that gives the error unable to open display ":0" [13:56] somsip: 'No protocol specified' [13:59] rhosts are hosts that are connected to me, what are hosts I am connected to?

[14:16] hmm [14:16] halfburnttoast: What do you want from there? [14:16] well, that should show you your default gateway [14:17] halfburnttoast: and in ifconfig -a, there is no eth0 interface [14:17] ah [14:17] yeah, that's the bigger problem [14:17] halfburnttoast: yup [14:17] when you try to bring it up, does dmesg show you an error? [14:18] halfburnttoast: I recently moved my hard disk to another tower, maybe is a network board? [14:18] your boot drive? [14:19] halfburnttoast: I don't think so [14:19] halfburnttoast: I think the problem is in the board configuration [14:19] halfburnttoast: how can I set it to default? [14:20] well, does dmesg show you any more errors when you try to bring up networking? [14:22] halfburnttoast: how can I see that in easy way?

How can I restart all the network conf to default? [14:27] halfburnttoast: if I use "sudo ifup eth0", throw me an error telling me that [14:28] witheld1: I found an .Xauthority file in the end and copied it into the home folder of the user that needs it.

I've a problem with my network in a ubuntu server 12.04. I don't know why I cannot get access to internet, and to my local network too!! [14:31] start at the bottom [14:31] Do you have link state? [14:31] worm`: I have to go, delete the .Xauthority file in your home folder, then run startx without root. That's all you need to do. [14:31] i.e. do you have flashing lights at the cable? [14:32] I can't help you more because you literallye take over an hour to respond [14:32] yes [14:32] I have lights [14:32] can you ARP other local devices [14:32] nope [14:33] so from the CLI of the Linux box what is the output of the arp command? [14:33] I cannot do a ping from my computer to the server [14:33] understood [14:33] but can you reslove the MAC Address is the question at hand [14:33] you may not be able to ping for serveral reasons [14:34] the first thing to check is computer 1 can resolve the phycal address of computer 2 [14:34] reason0fs1n: I don't have the interface eth0 when I do ifconfig [14:34] ah [14:34] problem at hand [14:34] is this a new install? [14:34] reason0fs1n: I recently changed the hard disk to another tower [14:34] ah [14:35] reason0fs1n: maybe, there is the problem. no? [14:35] does the interface show up in dev [14:35] reason0fs1n: let me check [14:35] reason0fs1n: /dev/what? [14:36] Saludos [14:36] reason0fs1n: I have one names docker0 [14:37] reason0fs1n: But It isn't a box or something like that, is the server on a machine [14:37] does the interface show up when you run the lspci command? [14:38] reason0fs1n: no, I cannot see it [14:39] but you do see other PCI devices? [14:40] It sounds like a driver issue [14:40] yeah [14:40] but [14:40] yesterday, I got the same problem [14:41] And I changed the eth0 to eth1 in /etc/networking/interfaces [14:41] and that works! but when I restart the server, the conection has gone again [14:41] Hi! I currently use Ubuntu for all of my homeserver needs, and I'm thinking about switching to linux for all of my computers at home, but the only thing that gives me pause is gaming. Has anyone been able to get League of Legends working on Ubuntu? [14:41] Wonky [14:41] That's pretty much the only game I play. [14:41] well good luck [14:42] if you've changed the bootdrive from computer to computer, you might also check the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:42] =( [14:43] i've had it in my debian servers where interfaces that are swapped don't show up [14:43] deleting the contents of that file and rebooting causes it to regenerate [14:43] it's fixed the problem for me in the past [14:43] assuming that's the issue [14:45] Alberto, you might have old entries in that file, for example [14:46] halfburnttoast: let me check that [14:47] halfburnttoast: I will delete it [14:47] i'd just delete the contents [14:47] don't have to delete the file itself [14:47] halfburnttoast: so? [14:47] something like: sudo echo "" >| /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:47] then reboot [14:47] halfburnttoast: ok ok [14:48] halfburnttoast: gimme a second [14:48] it might not do anything if it is a driver problem though [14:50] hello [14:51] what's an easy to use, Distro which can be made bootable on a 1GB pendrive?

[14:52] Ubuntu can be made a bootable on 1GB? [14:52] halfburnttoast: let me see if I overwirte the persistent [14:53] FourFire: Yep. [14:53] cool beans! [14:53] FourFire: not sure if that's big enough. maybe try it with a smaller distro. DSL, puppy or knoppix should work [14:53] Luyin: For a live USB, it should be fine.

[15:07] But this squashfs.filesystem is on my HD in the /live directory. [15:07] This has to be rather simple, I'm not familiar with grub much at all however. [15:09] hello! how does the ubuntu shell priority work? if I do the command "screen mycommand | tee -a my.log", it seems to interpret it as I want to run screen mycommand and pipe the result of that into tee, when i really want to run mycommand and pipe the output of that into tee, within a screen session. what am I doing wrong? [15:11] so ubuntu v14 is out now? [15:12] I've a problem with my network connection in a ubuntu server 12.04. I don't know why I dont have It. I changed my harddisk to another tower, so, maybe there is the problem. I cannot do a ping to google.com (unknow host). I cannot do a ping from my computer to the server. and if I do a ifup eth0, throw me "eth0 already configured. what can I do?

[15:18] pip, I had to installed the driver because the colors for the desktop and logon screen were messed up [15:18] try without, and if it works, then dont install the driver [15:19] compdoc: I see. Did you use the additional drivers method or something else? [15:19] additional drivers [15:19] sweet - that makes life easier [15:19] yeah, it was pretty easy [15:21] I may just leave the GPU in there for now. Wait until I reinstall in April [15:22] Hello.

[16:32] Reliant: once again try: sudo mount --bind /dev/pts install/dev/pts; [16:32] worm`, you need to set the display variable [16:32] export DISPLAY=:0 [16:32] then try it [16:32] that works [16:33] Reliant: sudo chroot install [16:33] ok [16:33] Reliant: apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia | pastebinit [16:33] halfburnttoast: I already tried, I got the error "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable." [16:33] yes [16:33] anyone know if ther eis a way to mirror just packages for a specific version of ubuntu? say for 12.04 and the latest without syncing the entire archive? [16:34] I have no network connection from the chroot environment [16:34] halfburnttoast: I wrote a script with : DISPLAY=:0; export DISPLAY [16:34] or rather, no DNS [16:34] Giant81: you'd have to filter the packages in your mirror script [16:34] halfburnttoast: preceding the command running my graphical app [16:35] nvidia-319, nvidia-common, nvidia-settings-319 [16:35] if i want to edit the welcome message when i ssh, where do i edit the file? [16:35] Reliant: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-319 nvidia-settings-319 [16:35] halfburnttoast: actually it works if I login from the user who started the X server [16:36] change DISPLAY=:0 to 'source DISPLAY=:0' [16:36] halfburnttoast: but I need to do that from a different user [16:36] oh [16:36] hm [16:36] hitsujiTMO: done. do I need to do anything else before I try booting off it? [16:36] arcsky: the motd is generated from /etc/update-motd.d/* [16:36] Is this right?-->This UEFI that replaces the BIOS i think is a real pain....if I'm not mistaken it can get messed up and brick your laptop when you are trying to install linux!?!??! then you can't boot into BIOS or anything? [16:37] arcsky: /etc/motd.d/ (or similar named) [16:37] Reliant: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:37] theseb, enter UEFI and disable secure boot === tin is now known as Guest79928 [16:37] it's not there. Only xorg.conf.failsafe [16:38] worm`, i'm not sure if that's possible, to be honest [16:38] Reliant: thats ok then. also: cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | grep nouveau [16:38] halfburnttoast: I don't know either, perhaps I could change the user starting X on my remote machine? [16:38] !uefi | theseb [16:38] theseb: 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 [16:38] hitsujiTMO: no results [16:38] halfburnttoast: I have no idea how to do that though [16:38] Do you know anything about my Wi-fi problem? [16:39] Reliant: ok. try booting your system again [16:39] hitsujiTMO, so it's not as simple as just pointing rsync to http://archive.ubuntu.com/12.04/ or something to get just that version..... ok well good thing I have 2TB on that volume [16:40] hey. i'd like to install ubuntu 12.04 lts parallel to an existing windows installation. i shrinked the system partition so that ubuntu will fit, still i'd like to know if the installer is able to set up such configuration without breaking both windows and it's bootloader. is there a wiki article you recommend? [16:41] foo499, did you run the installer for ubuntu and have it resize the partitions? [16:42] hitsujiTMO: Getting somewhere. The screen plugged into the APU is getting a flashing screen. I have a cursor and a black screen. It flashes on to show the login prompt for a brief instant, and goes black again [16:42] foo499 you can do it. I have done this previously. [16:42] halfburnttoast: i used the windows disk utility. [16:43] Giant81: try debmirror if you want to filter https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror [16:43] foo499, if you haven't installed ubuntu before, the ubuntu installer will allow you to resize the partitions from the GUI [16:43] foo499: as long as the installer sees the free space and Windows as is expected you can install to the fee space in the liveCD. Justread the screen as you install and think. You will replace the WIndows boot loader with Grub which can boot both OSes [16:43] halfburnttoast, sabin: is manual partitioning necessary (i.e. create /, swap, /boot), or will the installer use the freed space for that? [16:43] foo499, it will install the grub bootloader, rather than relying on what windows uses [16:43] Reliant: ctrl + alt + f1 to get tty1 up [16:44] Xorg.0.log.old: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6892267/ [16:44] It's the .old because I rebooted into a safe mode command prompt [16:44] foo499, usually it isn't necessary to do any manual resizing unless you want a more complex setup [16:44] Anyone know how to change the user running X/Unity on 12.10 server edition? Or make it possible for other users to use the display? [16:44] foo499, but if you've already created space, you can set it up manually anyways [16:45] foo499: the installer will partition the freed space for you, or if you want you can setup manual partitions. You dont need a separate /boot these days === mandel is now known as mandel_dog_walki === mandel_dog_walki is now known as mandel [16:45] Reliant: do you have a monitor connected to the nvidia gpu? [16:45] any ideas what the cake is going on? http://pastebin.com/bwjwe3mf [16:45] yes [16:46] Reliant: remove it [16:46] halfburnttoast: cool. no, i'd like to keep it simple here. so GRUB will be written to the MBR and substitute the windows bootloader, i guess? [16:47] I have a bit of an issue, I forgot my password. [16:47] What can I do? [16:47] !password [16:47] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [16:47] Reliant: then reboot and try again. repaste the Xorg.0.log [16:47] foo499, yeah grub will become the bootloader. windows will probably want to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but it should be fine [16:48] halfburnttoast, OerHeks: i naively didn't handle uefi properly but just tried to install ubuntu like 5 years ago......does that mean i toasted the laptop and erased uefi by not RTFM'ing? [16:48] ok. The BIOS is set to use the NVIDIA GPU, and so is grub. Grub auto-selected Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has booted to the graphical shell === ismail is now known as Guest38297 [16:48] theseb, er, well what happened to the laptop? [16:49] theseb, you probably didn't toast uefi by leaving secure boot on [16:49] Rory: Can you help me out? [16:49] I'm lost. [16:49] is there any software which can build/generate Lyrics from audio/video files? [16:49] I believe it's the root password. [16:49] I'm on a VM [16:49] I can't log in to my user. [16:49] what is VM? [16:49] well, actaully, if it's a 5 year old laptop it probably doens't have uefi [16:49] Virtual Box [16:50] vm=virtual box? [16:50] virtual machine [16:50] Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6892310/ [16:50] I can't believe I forgot my password. [16:50] I feel like an idiot [16:50] how iit is useful & why it is required? [16:50] halfburnttoast: thanks for your fast answer, i'll see if it works :) [16:51] profligacy: you will have to perform similar steps using the recovery iso provided by your vendor [16:51] vendor?? [16:51] Can you speak in layman's terms? [16:51] I have this ubuntu on a VM [16:51] profligacy: do you have another account you can use? [16:51] profligacy: can you go in single user mode [16:52] profligacy: vendor = company you rent the vm from [16:52] I'm trying to log into my user [16:52] but I cant [16:52] and change passwd from there [16:52] I can get into guest [16:53] Is there a way for me to boot into X with my 2nd monitor plugged into the GPU? [16:53] Reliant: not without a newer driver it seems [16:53] I mean even if the GPU is disabled and the 2nd screen stays black [16:53] is there any channel which talks about new release software/tools/websites? [16:54] you could try blacklisting nouveau but that could cause issues of it try to load vesa [16:54] ActionParsnip: I have a Guest. z0ran [16:54] the BIOS is sending grub to the GPU, and it's a dual boot machine (Ubuntu / Windows), so it would be a big hassle if I need to unplug/replug that screen and go into the BIOS each time I want to switch OSs [16:54] sending grub to the gpu ??? what [16:55] profligacy: dont think that will be enough access to reset passwords [16:55] ikonia: the monitor that's plugged into the APU doesn't see grub [16:55] if i edit the motd file its generated back after a reboot [16:55] profligacy: you can't do anything from guest, you need to get into the recovery iso that your vendor provides [16:55] yYDgq$Z1ׅls4ZrS04>+hh@h [16:55] 3zLD4P-ґ뽑<_˭?Zr\ "ӐfyC9 -$ 2ֶbl}s~yE gFQd3|G- h [16:55] APU ?

[16:59] Reliant: you would need to install the xorg edgers to get later drivers [17:00] I haven't tried disabling framebuffer (how?), and I'm ok with installing xorg edgers [17:00] I'd advise not rushing in with PPA's until you know the full situation [17:00] eg: try booting it with vesa (as a test) [17:00] Reliant: give ikonias suggestion a try first. he's much more of an expert when it comes to most things [17:01] curious if someone had any screen brightness problems w the new LTS 12.04-4 [17:01] on a laptop [17:01] how do I boot with vesa?

That's all I meant, I wasn't being too seriously.^^ [19:39] ToBeFree, he was looking for some "tweaking", implying "something different" or possibly "exploring". zsh is close enough to bash to not be confusing, and has what I consider to be better configuration options.

[20:52] bekks What about liveUSB and booting issues? [20:52] fishbrain: you are right. the old-releases doesnt include 13.04 so far. so i bet its a translation problem wich ruins the updater [20:53] RocketPenguin: only thing we know about backtracjk is that its end of life and no longer supported [20:53] RocketPenguin: backtrack liveusb? [20:53] RocketPenguin: how'd you create the USB [20:53] RocketPenguin: ask the backtrack guys. this is ubuntu support.

Anyone care to point me in the right direction? [21:05] ammar__, Good to know you have tried some methods, I don't have an answer myself.

You should find a compatable Nvidia driver to activate in there. That might help.

[21:12] i'm going to unplug/reseat everything [21:12] and see what happens [21:12] axelm7: sorry meant "so" not do [21:14] hitsujiTMO, ok got it now. still seems strange that even windows 7 runs fine on this box and unity makes it feel like a pentium 4 with 256mb ram [21:14] Mongo44, in the cli lspci has a nice list for you. [21:14] used to have latest Fedora on this box and it worked fine [21:14] will try xubuntu [21:14] Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [21:15] Is that it? [21:15] can I ask a simple question about Ubuntu Server in here? Or is that a separate channel? [21:15] axelm7: unity uses some very expensive filters unforunately [21:16] Code|Teal: Here is fine, although there is #ubuntu-server which may have a more specific answer [21:16] is there a way to disable the eye candy in unity? [21:16] I can't just get it to boot, loading the CD I get to the language selection and lose ability to use the keyboard [21:16] ejbs: not seeing anything odd. have you looked at iotop for unusual activity? [21:16] Mongo44, what does 'lspci | grep VGA' show [21:17] axelm7: you can minimise it with unity-tweak-tool but not remove it [21:17] axelm7: main thing is to disable background blur [21:17] Code|Teal: Is it a USB keyboard? [21:17] What I posted earlier. [21:17] code_zombie: 13.10? [21:17] TJ-, yeah [21:17] Code|Teal: 13.10 ? [21:18] I think so [21:18] hitsujiTMO: I've been looking through the processes on the System Monitor and there is nothing unusual. This has been active even after several reboots, so I dunno what's going on. It sucks though, that's for sure. [21:18] ohci_pci bug [21:18] Code|Teal: I'd look first at the motherboard's BIOS/Firmware setup, and ensure "Legacy USB" support is enabled [21:18] TJ-, that is good [21:18] hitsujiTMO, yeah it is 13.10 [21:19] I get to the boot menu and I select "install Ubuntu Server" and the next screen I have no keyboard === Codenomics is now known as Code|Teal [21:20] wrong button [21:20] Code|Teal: theres a known bug where ochi_pci is missing from initramfs so usb host isn't active. good chance its that issue [21:20] I have X failing to start (yet again), and when I reboot to a safe mode, my Xorg log files are all empty [21:20] I think I might need a graphics driver as my VM only runs in 640x480. [21:20] Mongo44, That appears to be it, intel has driver kits, some install if the dependencies are available. Go here only if you have actual troubles would be my rhetoric. [21:21] Mongo44: you are still confusing VM and real hardware [21:21] Beldar: he is mixing up install inside vm and a real install. [21:21] hitsujiTMO, do you by chance know if that is an issue in the 12.04.4LTS release? [21:21] Mongo44: install the guest-additions [21:21] I did that. [21:21] k1l_, Thanks, heh good to know. [21:21] Code|Teal: no, that issue is 13.10 specific [21:21] I can head over to the server specific channel if I need to [21:21] hitsujiTMO, thanks [21:21] doubt that there is anything in 13 that I *need* [21:22] just setting up a simple media server for my living room lol [21:22] Code|Teal: you can do a debootstrap install from 13.10 desktop iso if you want 13.10. but 12.04 would prob be a better option for a server === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [21:23] hitsujiTMO, it is not a big deal, there is not anything that I need in 13.10 [21:23] I doubt that there is rather [21:23] Mongo44: install the guest additions in the OS that runs in the VM [21:24] I did that. === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [21:24] ejbs: less than 5% free space; I'd say the disk is spending more time seeking the heads than reading/writing ... latency on seeks is killing performance [21:25] Mongo44: inside vm you dont need the hardware drivers because the VM software only fakes the vm-os that its running on hardware and not in a vm [21:26] My host OS Debian runs just fine. I got the guest addition and the dkms package. [21:26] Mongo44: you need the guest-additions inside the ubuntu in the vm [21:27] Yes I have that. [21:27] TJ-: I did a read benchmark (I have no idea what a good latency would be), here's the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ap8NrcQ.png [21:27] I had to boot in root priveleges, but I got it installed. [21:27] Mongo44: maybe debian got an old vbox version that makes problems? [21:27] s/maybe/for sure/ [21:27] I had Ubuntu working perfectly before, and now when I reboot, my primary screen is black, the keyboard doesn't work, I can't drop to a shell, and the only way to reboot is to hit the button on the box [21:28] !Surolac Vilain Pingouin --- Roche et roule --- 04 --- Chu tu seul à soir.mp3 [21:28] !Surolac Vilain Pingouin --- Roche et roule --- 05 --- Témoin.mp3 [21:28] !Surolac Vilain Pingouin --- Roche et roule --- 06 --- Délinquance.mp3 [21:28] parents_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:28] parents_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:28] parents_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:28] Yes it has VBox 4.1.

[21:44] Last thing I tried makes it unseeable by Ubuntu, apparently. [21:44] but still i can't see the shared folder on my mac !!! [21:45] arvut: sudo -i should be reserved for the few cases where it is really needed, not just for lazyness [21:45] John_John_ so what does that have to do with desktop or server Ubuntu [21:45] John_John_: uninstall macOSX. Go to www.gentoo.org and search for a mac build. unless you have an intel cpu. then get amd64 iso [21:45] I guess at this point I have some long number on it, and it isn't seen as a pen drive anymore.

[22:10] try "subl myfile.php &" although to be honest i'm not sure if that will take you back to the terminal or not [22:10] kongthap: subl moo & but closing the terminal will still close sublime [22:10] kongthap: Put the process into the background, suffix the command with & [22:11] hitsujiTMO, TJ- , thanks :) [22:11] kongthap: or use "nohup " if you want to be able to close the terminal [22:13] TJ-, i used & but it still ok when closing the terminal, i only did with sublime, don't know about the others [22:13] if i have assigned failover IPs to a server, do i have to use the server to grab the IPs before they reply to ping?

And Ubuntu has a much better reader built-in [22:31] starrats, open the software centre, select edit -> software sources, enable the Partner repo in the 3rd party software tab, then search for adobe reader, flash etc [22:31] ah ok and thank you, first day with ubuntu [22:32] Is there a google script that provides links to a search? For example, $ google wikipedia, and it gives http://en.wikipedia.org among other links. [22:36] hexhaxtron: https://code.google.com/p/googlecl/ [22:37] hexhaxtron: It's ancient, but may still work. [22:38] BTW: Is there a clear document on how to upgrade from something like 12.04 to something like 13.10 so that people don't need to make the mistake of going to far from the most popular docs out there?

I just need it to run ONE app, and that's all. I don't even need the desktop environment.

The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:41] treehouse: install ubuntu-server or use the mini.iso, or do a debootstrap install [22:42] good ideas.

[22:43] bekks: virtualization [22:44] though, chroot adds a layer of "security" [22:44] Hi, one question, I recently install a Ubuntu (gnome-ubuntu) on a macbook air 6.2 (mid 2013 version), and when I log in the gnome (or gnome classic) the brighness of LCD and the keyboard is adjustable, and also the sound controls, but when I install another WM (dwm, xfce...) this functions don't work. Anyone know who is the responsible? the name of daemon? to launch it manually, thanks! [22:44] jails have absolutely nothing to do with virtualization. [22:44] treehouse: Ahh. Next time it would help to state that from the start. What type of virtualization (full, paravirt, or containers), and specifically what virtualization software. [22:44] ? [22:44] jails do not add security. [22:44] treehouse: No. chroot does not add security. [22:44] hola [22:45] treehouse: Containers are lightweight like chroot, but actually do provide secure isolation. [22:45] Jordan_U: let's assume that a program does this: system("rm -rf /"); .. chroot will certainly make sure that your HD isnt wiped out.

I have windows on one primary partition, and unallocated space leftover. Every time I try to format that partition to a linux filesystem, it seems to erase the windows partition.

[23:51] no no [23:51] student: the installer only removes partitions if you tell it to [23:52] the linux will be installed in a seperate partition not in the same [23:52] but I don't know how to install them [23:52] you have a lot howtos on the net, just google a little....ubuntu have so many good documentation locodir-user [23:52] locodir-user: right, but i'm still not sure about the booting process of osx, it could mess with it [23:52] just choosing the partition and the next til the final step or I have to make something more? [23:53] It didn't remove the partition - it's still visible in disks on my livecd, but I can't boot into windows and now ubuntu no longer shows the drive in "files" [23:53] So it seems to have been formatted [23:53] this has happened two or three times now [23:54] student: pastebin "sudo blkid" [23:54] Each time, I start with a fresh install of windows, leaving 25 GB for the future ubuntu install [23:54] sure [23:54] disks shows the two partitions [23:54] but gparted just shows all free space [23:54] or unallocated space, I should say [23:54] gparted where [23:54] at my previous tries when I chose only the partition and the next, after restart I could get in windows [23:55] on my live cd [23:55] no the hard disk is ready shared [23:55] http://pastebin.com/jYLacYuM [23:55] the only that I want the steps to install the linux ubuntu on the third partition [23:55] sda is the destination [23:56] uh... there is no sda [23:56] oh hmm [23:56] sda shows in disks [23:57] and even shows 85GB free space where windows was [23:57] no no the windows is ready also the mac os x [23:57] installed [23:57] when I booted the livecd the first time before formatting the leftover space for ubuntu, I could see my windows files in "files" [23:57] now I can't and I can't boot into windows either [23:57] the only that remain is the linux ubuntu === Guest74361 is now known as io [23:58] that's right student [23:58] thanks for taking the time ben64 [23:58] student: anyway, i'd guess that you're installing windows using gpt, and windows' gpt is strange and doesn't play nicely with linux. if you make the partitions in gparted before installing either, then install windows into the ntfs partition that gparted made, then ubuntu in the ext4 one, it should work fine [23:58] we have the same problem [23:58] anyway === io is now known as Guest84831 [23:58] is there somebody with kindness here to help us or not?
