| locodir-user | the only reaction is for windows | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| student | even if the partition isn't the exact same size | 00:00 |
| locodir-user | if I just choose the partition and I follow the next untill to finish the installation | 00:00 |
| Ben64 | student: backed up how | 00:00 |
| locodir-user | Mac OS X runs very well | 00:00 |
| student | using windows backup and restore utility | 00:00 |
| student | it created both a disk image and a backup file | 00:00 |
| Ben64 | oh, i'm not sure about that | 00:00 |
| locodir-user | oh my god | 00:00 |
| locodir-user | I think I speak to people from space | 00:01 |
| Ben64 | if it tries to write the disc image though, you could have some problems | 00:01 |
| student | I mean, it's not a big deal since the first time this happened, nothing was backed up | 00:01 |
| student | so I already lost everything, it would just be inconvenient to redo all the drivers | 00:01 |
| student | and music | 00:01 |
| student | and whatnot | 00:01 |
| locodir-user | give me patience | 00:01 |
| student | but I ca do that | 00:01 |
| locodir-user | anyway I will try alone | 00:01 |
| locodir-user | I bored to ask everybody and nobody to give me an answer | 00:02 |
| student | ben - I read before that sometimes residual remnants of previous gpt/mbr can mess with a fresh install | 00:02 |
| Ben64 | locodir-user: i've given you an answer, but you don't seem to understand it | 00:02 |
| student | Ben has been very helpful, don't say no one is helping | 00:02 |
| locodir-user | what is your answer? | 00:03 |
| Avatas | Hello room. I'm looking for a list or recommendation for a decent UPS with native software support in Ubuntu 13.10. | 00:03 |
| Ben64 | locodir-user: that installing ubuntu can render osx ubootable | 00:03 |
| snyp | Is there a way I actually use my discrete ati gpu in my hybrid graphics laptop? | 00:03 |
| snyp | *I can | 00:03 |
| student | are there any steps besides completely formatting the ssd that I should take before repartitioning? | 00:03 |
| student | and do you recommend creating one partition first? | 00:03 |
| locodir-user | what does it mean? | 00:04 |
| locodir-user | replacement> | 00:04 |
| locodir-user | are you mean, replacement? | 00:05 |
| Avatas | @snyp I've had some luck using bumblebee for Nvidia cards. I'm unsure what the analog for ATI is | 00:05 |
| locodir-user | linux will replace the mac os x? | 00:05 |
| locodir-user | are you mean that? | 00:05 |
| Ben64 | student: yeah, windows is pretty picky about where it installs to. you'll need to create a gpt partition table, which will get rid of all partitions. make an ntfs partition for windows, an ext4 for ubuntu, and a bios_grub for the bootloader. you can make more for /home and swap or anything you want, those are optional | 00:05 |
| snyp | Avatas, ati support, it seems is pretty nil. | 00:06 |
| student | ben: remind me how to do the bios_grub for the bootloader? | 00:06 |
| Ben64 | locodir-user: when you install ubuntu, normally the grub bootloader is installed onto the master boot record (mbr) of the hard drive. that controls the booting procedure. grub is very good about getting linux and windows to start, but osx is a different story. you can try it if you want, but it could stop you from booting osx | 00:06 |
| student | if you have time | 00:07 |
| hipitihop | I have been using unetbootin for creating various bootable usb sticks successfully for some time, but it doesn't seem to create valid boot usb aat all times, e.g. have been trying to create memtest86+ to no avail. Can someon recommend alternativ eto unetbootin | 00:07 |
| locodir-user | could you suggest me a video guider for it? | 00:07 |
| locodir-user | a step by step guide? | 00:08 |
| Avatas | snyp, I was afraid of that. I've had some bad experiences even with their desktop proprietary drivers. At least they are beginning to support OpenCL | 00:08 |
| Ben64 | student: create an unformatted partition, only like 8MB, can be at the end of the drive, doesn't really matter. then right click on it after it is created and hit "manage flags" one of them should be bios_grub | 00:08 |
| student | ah, perfect | 00:08 |
| Beldar | hipitihop, pendrivelinux has a handful of usb loaders, look for ones that will run on the OS you use. | 00:08 |
| student | thanks so much for all your help, this has frustrated me for awhile | 00:08 |
| student | just out of curiosity, will you be online for a bit? | 00:08 |
| Ben64 | student: most likely | 00:09 |
| student | great | 00:09 |
| locodir-user | could you suggest a step by step video guider for it? | 00:09 |
| hipitihop | Beldar, I use ubuntu 12.04 sorry that's why I'm here | 00:11 |
| locodir-user | don't you have some guide to show me the steps? | 00:11 |
| Rousseau | I have a hard time getting my webcam to work on my ubuntu 13.10 installation. | 00:12 |
| Avatas | Anyone here have a good recommendation for a UPS? | 00:13 |

| Diamondcite | What do you consider slow? And what are you running it on? | 00:18 |
| === witquicked_ is now known as witquicked | ||

| manjaro_user_ | As in really slow..lag ..eehm slower than normal? Im running it on an laptop with i5 pros, intel hd graphic with nvidia 1 gb gt 540m and 4 gb ram so my comp shouldnt be the issue since my other laptop that had a reaally bad amd card in it could run unity perfectly | 00:20 |
| tomatopotato | hi folks | 00:20 |
| tomatopotato | im getting | 00:20 |
| tomatopotato | terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' | 00:20 |
| tomatopotato | what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid | 00:20 |
| tomatopotato | any idea? | 00:21 |
| tomatopotato | what it could be? | 00:21 |
| manjaro_user_ | i have installed intel driver and bumblebee so all drivers should be up to date ..unless ofcourse ubuntu still usues the vesa driver or whatever? | 00:21 |
| student | ben64: if you're still there - for that bios grub partition, I don't see the proper format in gparted | 00:22 |
| student | wait | 00:22 |
| student | never mind | 00:22 |
| student | does anyone know if the bios_grub partition can be extended or if it has to be primary? | 00:23 |
| Avatas | manjaro, I have a similar setup in my laptop and don't have those same dash issues. What sorts of fps do you get when you run glxgears? | 00:24 |
| Ben64 | student: if you're using gpt you can make as many primaries as you want | 00:25 |
| manjaro_user_ | I get high fps when using the nvidia card. So 3d accel in my nvidia card works..But its the intel card that runs unity.. But this comp runs windows 8.1 perfectly so mayby it could be a conflict with the intel driver and the nouveu driver? | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | student: A BIOS Boot Partition is for GPT. GPT has no primary/extended/logical distinction. | 00:26 |
| student | Ben64: right, thanks | 00:28 |
| student | ben64: I tried twice, I got an error saying that the ex4 partition could not be made | 00:29 |
| student | any ideas? | 00:29 |
| Avatas | glxgears without optirun should default to the intel card I believe and you still get high fps? | 00:29 |
| === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| === ponbiki is now known as Guest49800 | ||
| Ben64 | student: what is the error | 00:30 |
| manjaro_user_ | no i did use optirun lol hehe | 00:30 |
| manjaro_user_ | brb i need to boot back into ubuntu to check | 00:30 |
| student | ben64: it says the first ntfs partition was created fine, for the second one: it created the empty partition, cleared old file system signatures, set partition type, but then failed for creating new ext4 filesystem | 00:31 |
| student | I saved the details | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | Ben64: Windows doesn't support booting from GPT disks via BIOS, so it would never really make much sense to have a BIOS Boot Partition on a drive containing a bootable Windows installation. Either student is using UEFI and needs an EFI System Partition, or is booting via BIOS and needs to use an msdos label to be compatable with Windows. | 00:31 |
| student | I know my bios is set to uefi mode | 00:32 |
| student | for what it's worth | 00:32 |
| Ben64 | Jordan_U: oh, i didn't realize it couldn't boot bios to gpt | 00:32 |

| skd5aner | Hello, my SATA3 SSD is loading as 3.0Gb/s vs 6.0Gb/s, even though the port is SATA3. Here's the output from smartctl -x /dev/sdb1: "SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s)" - any ideas on how to force that to 6.0Gb/s? | 00:33 |
| Jazayri | Hi, why i don't receive the firefox 27 update ? | 00:34 |
| student | Jordan_U: I've formatted my ssd completely, created a partition for windows and left unallocated space for a future ubuntu install, and installed windows. I boot into the ubuntu live cd to format the unallocated space for ubuntu, which then renders windows unbootable and actually appears to erase the partition | 00:34 |
| student | Jordan_U: this has happened twice now - do you have any idas? | 00:34 |
| student | ideas | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | student: Did the Ubuntu installer list your Windows installation or did it show the whole drive as being unallocated? | 00:35 |
| ubuntufixer | Avatas you still here? I get 60 fps with glxgears..but as soon as i open the dash it droppes down to 30 ish | 00:40 |
| Avatas | ubuntufixer, odd indeed. Is this a fresh install and done this from the beginning? | 00:41 |
| ubuntufixer | Its sorta fresh install. But it has done this since it was a fresh install..it even does this when im using the live cd | 00:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i can't get minecraft server to start. i keep getting Error: Could not find or load main class minecraft_server.1.7.4.jar | 00:42 |
| student | Jordan_U: no, it did not recognize windows at all | 00:44 |
| student | Jordan_U: I was presented with two options: overwrite all existing data on the drive, and "other" | 00:44 |
| student | Jordan_U: where other showed me how the disk was partitioned, but it just said one big unallocated partition | 00:44 |
| Avatas | ubuntufixer: You mentioned you tried adjusting some compiz features before? | 00:45 |
| student | Jordan_U: interestingly, ubuntu showed my windows drive in the file explorer menu and I could see all my music, docs, etc. | 00:45 |
| student | from the livecd | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | student: So the reason that Ubuntu is deleting the partition is that it's doing exactly what it said ot would do, using the whole drive as space for Ubuntu. The reason Ubuntu's installer is only giving the option of using the whole drive is most likely that you have an invalid partition table (which applications that use libparted, like GParted and Ubuntu's install, don't handle very gracefully). Please install Windows again then, ... | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | ... before installing Ubuntu, run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output. | 00:46 |
| ubuntufixer | Avatas. Nope, but i do have wobbly windows and that stuff on. And those things arent lagging what so ever. So its only the dash. Everything else is as speedy as i believe it should be | 00:46 |
| ubuntufixer | so there must be a reason to why on earth the dash is soooo graphic intensive. | 00:47 |
| Avatas | ubuntufixer: I noticed a significant increase in dash performance by turning off internet suggestions under the privacy settings. Could it possibly be that? | 00:48 |
| ubuntufixer | Allready done that:) | 00:49 |
| Avatas | doh! | 00:49 |
| Avatas | don't suppose you notice any odd bits under dmesg? | 00:49 |
| student | Jordan_U: will you be online for 20-30 minutes? | 00:50 |
| student | Jordan_U: also, I'll wipe the drive, but when I install windows - should I leave unallocated space for ubuntu later? | 00:50 |
| ubuntufixer | idk really so ill just post the output in here | 00:50 |
| n-iCe | how can I get a list of all my wifi aps and passwords list | 00:50 |
| Avatas | careful could be long | 00:50 |
| ubuntufixer | any parts of it spesific you want? | 00:51 |
| student | Jordan_U: also, gparted was not recognizing my windows partition, but disks was! So when I formatted that one unallocated partition in disks and then attempted to reboot into windows, windows was gone | 00:54 |
| student | even though disks did recognize the partitions separately AND I could see my windows data in "files" before shutting down after partitioning | 00:54 |

| tomatopotato | how do i run python in background? from a terminal on a vps, so i can logout and it still runs?, i tried "&" but doesnt cut it | 01:06 |
| treehouse | it installed some weird daemons too | 01:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | tomatopotato, run it in a screen session | 01:06 |

| tomatopotato | what do you mean with multiplexer? | 01:08 |
| treehouse | so... I accidently apt-get install a regex with a wildcard.. installing a lot of weird stuff. What is nova? | 01:08 |
| k1l_ | tomatopotato: "screen" | 01:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | tomatopotato, check the man page. it's obvious from that. It's like "windows" for a terminal, except you use hotkeys to switch from one to the other. | 01:08 |
| xeno | Is it compiz? | 01:09 |
| tomatopotato | here is what i have to run "python -m Abe.abe --config abe.conf" | 01:09 |

| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, you're using ubuntu-server? | 01:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, what desktop/environment? | 01:15 |
| Tengis | Any suggestions on things i could try to fix the problem? | 01:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Tengis, does hdparm give output, and how do you know if your drives have spun down? | 01:15 |
| xeno | I just need a desktop system that has reasonable terminal windows and works well with virtualbox | 01:15 |

| xeno | How do I know if it is iifce, openbox? | 01:18 |
| xeno | I just installed ubuntu server, and it didn't have a native desktop, so I installed gnome. | 01:18 |
| === themill_ is now known as themill | ||
| xeno | Gnome has broken windwos as per my above statement. | 01:19 |
| k1l_ | xeno: ubuntu-desktop is the package | 01:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, usually there will be a theming utility that will let you change that, but you might justt want to install a different environment like xfce and log out and choose that session. | 01:19 |
| k1l_ | xeno: or lubuntu-desktop, or xubuntu-desktop | 01:19 |
| xeno | Ok. So I I apt-get remove gnome, and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will that go? | 01:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, that will likely give you unity. | 01:19 |
| k1l_ | xeno: no need for remove so far | 01:19 |
| xeno | Ok. I don't mind Unity. I just want the window controls to work. | 01:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, if it's for a server, xubuntu-desktop would work. You need compositing in a vm session? | 01:21 |
| xeno | The ones I have know have grayed out sizing controls (zoom, for instance) and the only top bar control is the x | 01:21 |

| Seven_Six_Two | It worked when I installed it. | 01:36 |
| atifumacaxi | good night, comunity! | 01:36 |
| Avatas | hah! :) | 01:36 |
| atifumacaxi | someone there can help me with oracle 10g and perl? | 01:36 |
| k1l_ | Tengis: sudo lsof /media #iirc | 01:36 |
| Tengis | None of those output anything unless it's going to a log file or something | 01:37 |
| k1l_ | Tengis: then there is no use in there | 01:38 |
| k1l_ | Tengis: you could try the /dev/sdX | 01:38 |
| k1l_ | Tengis: but i am not aware if some raid setup does interfer with that | 01:38 |
| Galick | Hello. | 01:38 |
| xeno | Okay, I installed my Ubuntu-Desktop package, but my terminals STILL don't have working size controls from the keyboard, nor from the top bar menu. | 01:39 |
| Tengis | My drives are jbod | 01:39 |
| xeno | The dropdown menu has the controls, but the keyboard controls theylist don't appear to work. | 01:39 |
| Tengis | No hardware or software raid, just snapraid which is essentially a backup | 01:39 |
| Galick | How to install CANNON MP280 driver. I don't know how to do that. | 01:40 |
| treehouse | I apt-get installed * .. now, it installed a lot of weird stuff. How can I see the latest installed packages? (so that I can remove them)? | 01:40 |
| xeno | I am On a Mac machine with a Mac keyboard, so plain F11 does not work. What would be the proper F11 I wonder, or is it just broken in the package? | 01:40 |
| Galick | It's take too long. | 01:40 |
| k1l_ | Tengis: see if manually spindown works with hdparm | 01:40 |
| Tengis | It does but they spin back up | 01:40 |
| Tengis | I've got four identical drives all configured exactly the same | 01:41 |
| Tengis | At 3am with 5+ hours of zero use one or two will still be spinning | 01:41 |
| atifumacaxi | someone there can help me with perl and oracle 10g??? D: | 01:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Tengis, is anything in cron or anacron? | 01:42 |
| Tengis | My fifth drive is the os drive. I've all but abandoned getting that one to spin down because of random things writing and accessing even though i set all tmp to be in a ram drive | 01:42 |
| Tengis | I put one thing in crontab but it's currently disabled | 01:42 |
| Galick | Can someone solve problem. | 01:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | what are the drive's mount options? are they all the same? | 01:43 |
| xeno | Ok. I do have those working. | 01:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Galick, install cups and there should be a driver included. | 01:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Galick, you don't use the cd. | 01:43 |
| xeno | Is there any way to install some package to get the iconization and full screen buttons on the top bar of windows? They are still missing. | 01:43 |
| Beldar | Galick, Tell the channel what you have done in detail so far, IE what driver from where are you talking about. | 01:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, do you have a gui login screen? | 01:44 |
| xeno | Yes. | 01:44 |
| xeno | Yes, that stuff is adequate. | 01:44 |
| Tengis | Uuid=x /media/diskx ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2 | 01:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, and what session are you choosing when you login? | 01:44 |
| xeno | I don't know. | 01:44 |
| Tengis | That's exactly how it looks minus the actual uuid and disk 1-5 | 01:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, there will be a button on the login screen to select different sessions. | 01:45 |
| xeno | There is something that says... | 01:45 |
| xeno | High Contrast, Zoom,... | 01:45 |
| treehouse | how's dpkg related to ubuntu? | 01:45 |
| treehouse | is it "used"? | 01:45 |
| xeno | A/nd a date Item. | 01:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | treehouse, under the hood, not usually used directly. | 01:46 |
| treehouse | dpkg -l .. will that lists all installed packages (apt-get) of this system? | 01:46 |
| treehouse | s/of/in | 01:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, somewhere near the login button and password box. It might not even be labelled. | 01:46 |
| xeno | I don't see anything "Session" related on the login screen. | 01:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | something that pops up a list. | 01:47 |
| xeno | Got it. | 01:47 |
| xeno | System Default, Gnome, Gnome classic, G.... Ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, what's selected? just try them and use what you like. I like gnome and ubuntu, as well as xfce | 01:47 |
| xeno | Oops. | 01:48 |
| xeno | No, default was selected. | 01:48 |
| xeno | I picked Ubuntu, and it left me in a blank desktop with no features. | 01:48 |
| NeverHere | I asked in -server but no reply, Is there a way to reinstall the default config files after apt-get purge? | 01:48 |
| xeno | Now I'm really in trouble. | 01:48 |
| xeno | I cannot get out. | 01:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, alt+ctrl+F1 | 01:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | log in | 01:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart | 01:49 |
| xeno | That put me in a User desktop that now looks normal. | 01:49 |
| FreewheelinFrank | need command to open folder as root | 01:49 |
| xeno | Perhaps it was just blank because it took a long time. | 01:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | xeno, maybe. Unity isn't known for speed. | 01:50 |
| xeno | Okay, I will go try things now, but I may have it. Thank you SevenSixTwo. | 01:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, for what? | 01:50 |
| NeverHere | FreewheelinFrank, open folder? as in change directory? | 01:50 |

| Seven_Six_Two | I don't know if the permissions are the same to do chown | 01:52 |
| FreewheelinFrank | it crashed and I've got ubuntu running on a new box. trying to recover all my old files | 01:52 |
| NeverHere | FreewheelinFrank, you should be able to do sudo chmod 777 /that/dir/ -R | 01:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, ok, try this: sudo chown -R yourusername /full/path/to/Music | 01:53 |
| NeverHere | should give you access | 01:53 |
| NeverHere | or that | 01:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, yeah, or the chmod | 01:53 |
| FreewheelinFrank | ok yesh is there a dictionary of commands so I understand what I'm doing? Any recommendations...so far haven't found | 01:54 |

| FreewheelinFrank | Nothing in the GUI to 'open as'? | 01:58 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, you mean a pdf? | 01:59 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Hmm no if I can't access through the GUI then I need commands to copy and paste into my new storage system | 01:59 |
| Beldar | remuxa, might help, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads | 01:59 |
| FreewheelinFrank | I guess its unity? Saucy Salamander... | 01:59 |
| NeverHere | FreewheelinFrank, if you simply copy the files you will have problems with the permissions again unless you mod them first | 02:00 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Is this just for Gnome | 02:00 |
| treehouse | made a mistake and apt-get install mk* .. do I need to fear that my security is compromised? I.e. that some "share my comp with the world"-daemon got installed? | 02:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, please prepend what you say with the name of the person that you're addressing. | 02:00 |
| hipitihop | I'm trying to create latest memtest86+ v5.01 as bootable usb flahs drive, I have tried unetbootin, yumi and multi system creators, they either create the usb but memtest fails to boot, or in the case of multi system, it says the memtest iso is not yet supported. I realise this is wrong channel, can someone point me pls | 02:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | treehouse, doubtful. | 02:01 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Thanks my apologies. | 02:01 |
| hipitihop | other iso with these like ubuntu livecd, rescuedisk etc boot fine | 02:01 |
| NeverHere | hipitihop, i use lili usb creator | 02:01 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: So I should be looking for the mod command? | 02:01 |
| hipitihop | NeverHere, will have a look thanks, is there something special about memtest iso ? | 02:02 |
| NeverHere | hipitihop, im not familiar with memtest. sorry | 02:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, what are you trying to do again? | 02:02 |
| hipitihop | NeverHere, lili is a windows app | 02:03 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Open my old User folder from an apple mac book pro harddrive | 02:03 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oh, so did the drive mount already? | 02:03 |
| NeverHere | hipitihop, yes | 02:04 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Yes I can see folders but can't get into the Music folder, haven't tried others yet | 02:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, what is the full path? | 02:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, /media/externaldrive/Music | 02:05 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: System/Users/Name/Music then it prompts for username & password | 02:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, that's not a full path. where is it mounted? | 02:06 |
| treehouse | do you need to run something as root in order to use kvm? | 02:06 |
| NeverHere | FreewheelinFrank, wait, so you don't know the username and password on your own harddrive? | 02:06 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: So add Media to front? | 02:06 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Yes I just need to remember it, but can't 'open as' in the GUI | 02:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, type mount | pastebinit | 02:07 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Yes? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6894490 | 02:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, ok, it's readonly so you won't be able to change the permisssions. | 02:09 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Can't even read | 02:10 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: I need a drink | 02:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, in a terminal, get root with sudo su - | 02:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | then use "cd" to navigate there, and see if you can see files. | 02:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | this will give you root, which won't ask you "are you sure" if you do something silly. | 02:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | but might let you copy the files off of that filesystem | 02:11 |
| eflynn | how do i get to the grub command line | 02:12 |
| === platinuum_ is now known as platinuum | ||
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: hmm 3 incorrect attempts. What if there is no password? Does it reset? after a while? | 02:15 |
| daftykins | Seven_Six_Two: "sudo su" is bad practice, don't do it and don't advise to do it | 02:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, I don't even know where the password requests are coming from. do you not know your ubuntu password? | 02:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | daftykins, what's the alternative? | 02:17 |
| daftykins | sudo -s | 02:17 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: Yes but it is asking me for the password from my old apple hard drive, I haven' | 02:17 |

| Seven_Six_Two | daftykins, kk thanks. | 02:17 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: haven't opened it in a year | 02:17 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: that was like three passwords ago | 02:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Freejack_, Where is the password prompt coming from? what command are you doing? | 02:18 |
| FreewheelinFrank | Seven_Six_Two: should be able to crack that mofo! | 02:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | FreewheelinFrank, if you're getting a password challenge after doing the command I gave you, that's your ubuntu password, not the mac password. and use "sudo -s" instead. | 02:20 |

| Nothing_Much | I purged all of the xfce packages | 02:54 |
| Nothing_Much | Through synaptic | 02:54 |
| Beldar | Nothing_Much, My guess that is the root of the issue, you would not generally remove that way, a package list is best. | 02:55 |
| Nothing_Much | A what? | 02:55 |
| Nothing_Much | Never heard of a package list | 02:55 |

| SpudDogg | Oobi: apt-cache search java. then find the openjdk one. | 03:00 |
| SpudDogg | Oobi: actually, isn't java installed by default in ubuntu? (sorry, i come from just straight debian) | 03:00 |

| Beldar | Nothing_Much, You could probably reload what you have removed, check if the menu stuff is back, then use a removal list, just a guess though. | 03:02 |

| Beldar | mjoseph_, you started with 10.04, than told me 12.04, bothe have grub 2 as part of there install. To have grub legacy you would have to be using Jaunty. Your computer shows grub 2. T answer I would need more info really. | 05:13 |

| mrbogus | cfhowlett, when I get disconnected from the during the 'Applying changes' state in Ubuntu Software Center, Would I start over again? | 05:15 |

| mjoseph_ | Oh, you know what I'm thinkin I did... I think when I was on 13.04 I used Grub Customizer to tweak the appearance. That's why it looks so crappy right now. | 05:15 |

| cfhowlett | obsidian, apt-get intall lxde xfce4 will grab both of them. then logout, switch DE and login | 07:12 |
| obsidian | Awesome .. ok, is "switch DE" something that will automatically appear when I boot up? | 07:12 |
| cfhowlett | obsidian, when you logout, click on the ubuntu gear icon for your login options | 07:13 |
| obsidian | cfhowlett, thanks. I'm gonna give this a shot, be right back .. | 07:14 |
| obsidian | Just to confirm, :~$ sudo apt-get install lxde && sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 07:15 |
| obsidian | ? | 07:15 |
| cfhowlett | obsidian, you can do it with one: sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4 | 07:15 |
| obsidian | Ok, great! I'm gonna give it try.. be right back! | 07:16 |
| obsidian | Btw thanks, cfhowlett! | 07:16 |

| Al3xG0 | I have a quite advantageous hardware-500gb ssd 32gb memory i7.. I want to know this swap partition works on my hardware? or is there something more innovative | 07:26 |
| cfhowlett | !swap|Al3xG0, | 07:27 |
| ubottu | Al3xG0,: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 07:27 |
| obsidian | Ok. Using Xfce - it's ridiculously fast, but ridiculously similar to MS Windows | 07:29 |
| obsidian | even the icons ::puke:: | 07:29 |

| Nothing_Much | Is there any way to speed up Unity on a Radeon Xpress 200? Ubuntu 13.10 with Unity interface | 07:34 |
| cfhowlett | Nothing_Much, more ram? | 07:35 |
| Nothing_Much | cfhowlett: I have 2GB :( | 07:35 |
| Nothing_Much | DDR2 | 07:35 |
| obsidian | Ok. Tried them all (including GNOME flashback, Metacity) | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | Nothing_Much, unity is a resource hog. 2 gigs is pretty small considering the workload. perhaps try lxde or xfce4 desktop environments? | 07:36 |
| obsidian | I think I like Unity. | 07:36 |
| cfhowlett | obsidian, choice is good | 07:36 |
| Nothing_Much | cfhowlett: Aw man, I love Unity | 07:37 |
| Nothing_Much | It's up there with Gnome 3, can't get enough of them | 07:37 |
| obsidian | cfhowlett- yeah think I Unity the best of them all | 07:37 |
| cfhowlett | Nothing_Much, then ram upgrade ... | 07:37 |
| Nothing_Much | I honestly was getting sick of XFCE | 07:37 |
| obsidian | think I like Unity* | 07:37 |
| Nothing_Much | oh man | 07:37 |
| Nothing_Much | I hope the max for this motherboard isn't 2gb.. | 07:38 |
| obsidian | Nothing_Much- XFCE was alright but it looked suspiciously like Windows | 07:38 |
| jackyalcine | KDE looks great | 07:38 |
| jackyalcine | D: | 07:38 |
| obsidian | I just tried it along with LXDE | 07:38 |
| Nothing_Much | obsidian: It's pretty much everything that hippie- Let's take it to #ubuntu-offtopic guys | 07:38 |
| Nothing_Much | But yeah, I've been havin' nothin' but problems recently | 07:39 |
| obsidian | With Unity? | 07:39 |
| obsidian | or KDE? | 07:39 |
| Nothing_Much | Was hoping to see if someone could get compiz to be as lightweight as possible | 07:39 |
| Nothing_Much | obsidian: Nah, just in general, Unity was the last of my problems | 07:39 |
| Nothing_Much | Sorta | 07:39 |
| Nothing_Much | I had to reinstall since the top right corner of the applets weren't showing up | 07:39 |
| Nothing_Much | No matter how many times I would --purge and then reinstall :/ | 07:40 |
| obsidian | Nothing_Much: I see. | 07:40 |
| Nothing_Much | So yeah, whatever you do, don't remove all of the X/L/Kubuntu stuff without doing research first | 07:40 |
| obsidian | Sounds like a problem with the way X is drawing your windows? | 07:40 |
| Nothing_Much | Because right after I got rid of Xubuntu's stuff and xfce stuff, the applets and global menu wouldn't work | 07:40 |
| cfhowlett | agreed ^^^ | 07:40 |
| Nothing_Much | Nope, nothin' wrong with Xorg | 07:41 |
| msgol | damdidam! :) HI | 07:41 |
| obsidian | cfhowlett, Nothing_Much; what's the safest way to remove the DE's I just installed? | 07:41 |
| Nothing_Much | Hang on, Beldar linked me something a while ago | 07:42 |
| Nothing_Much | But I can't find it | 07:42 |
| obsidian | Or, is there no 'safe' way? | 07:42 |
| cfhowlett | obsidian, very carefully - sudo apt-get remove xfce4 --purge | 07:42 |
| Nothing_Much | It's not only that | 07:42 |
| obsidian | Ok .. ? | 07:42 |
| Nothing_Much | I wanted all the junk from XFCE off | 07:42 |
| Nothing_Much | Yeah | 07:42 |
| obsidian | Ok | 07:42 |
| obsidian | Let me switch back to Unity first .. brb | 07:43 |
| obsidian | What was that command again? :~$ sudo apt-get purge* xfce4 | 07:45 |
| obsidian | ? | 07:45 |
| cfhowlett | obsidian, sudo apt-get remove xfce4 --purge | 07:45 |

| msgol | yup you need to edit /etc/default/grub | 07:51 |
| obsidian | Ok.. ? | 07:51 |
| msgol | there is a value there under 1 sec | 07:51 |
| obsidian | ~$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 07:51 |

| greeter | obsidian: read what ubottu said after he issued that command | 07:55 |
| msgol | be carefull as you can mess your grub and that will take you thru liveboot chroot and ... to fix it | 07:55 |
| msgol | when you are finished editing that file you should also do update-grub2 or grub | 07:56 |

| obsidian | Gallomimia, FreewheelinFrank, wish I could help. I'm just trying to get my login screen resolution setup. | 08:02 |
| psingh | Gallomimia, the accounts that you add there are unique to your login id. A different user on your machine, with a different user id will have to setup his/her own accounts. | 08:03 |
| Gallomimia | and will other programs be able to read that information? | 08:03 |
| FreewheelinFrank | obsidian: not sure if can help | 08:03 |
| Gallomimia | i guess they likely would be able to anyway unless i use apparmor or something similar? | 08:03 |
| MikeJonn | Hey guys. Is it possible to associate another parent process to a running child-process? | 08:04 |
| obsidian | FreewheelinFrank: no biggie - just wondered if anyone knew off the top of their head how to change the login screen resolution | 08:04 |
| FreewheelinFrank | psingh: is it possible to access another users folder and prompted for password? | 08:04 |
| psingh | Gallomimia, you get to chose which applications can interact with those accounts from the Online Accounts dialog. If you grant access, those applications will be able to use that account. | 08:05 |
| psingh | FreewheelinFrank, are you trying to restrict access to another user's home folder? | 08:06 |
| msgol | back, if its not there please write it at the end. | 08:07 |
| msgol | like GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 or any other which is suported | 08:07 |
| obsidian | msgol- supported modes .. ok, assuming the current resolution I use when I'm logged in is "supported" I just add this line of code GRUB_GFXMODE=MYxDESIREDxRESOLUTION and then :~$ sudo update-grub? | 08:10 |
| msgol | yes but | 08:11 |
| msgol | the supported resoution for that is a diffrent ball game | 08:11 |
| msgol | it bios something let me look that up | 08:11 |
| obsidian | Ok. | 08:12 |
| obsidian | Thanks btw. | 08:12 |
| msgol | np. go for apt-get install hwinfo | 08:14 |
| msgol | use sudo | 08:14 |
| msgol | then hwinfo --framebuffer | 08:14 |
| xar- | what package is pfHandle located in? | 08:14 |
| obsidian | Alright. When I try to install 'hwinfo' I get this error | 08:16 |
| obsidian | Package hwinfo is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. | 08:16 |
| msgol | k give me a sec there was another way | 08:17 |
| obsidian | I wouldn't say I'm savvy with the grub> prompt but I know how to access it, mount the kernel, and a few other basic commands | 08:18 |
| msgol | i was looking around there is no way around hwinfo it seems | 08:22 |
| obsidian | No biggie! | 08:22 |
| msgol | just go with the resoloution you want. it most likely iqnore your settings if its not supported. | 08:23 |
| obsidian | Thanks for looking. I just added GRUB_GFXMODE=3200x768 | 08:23 |
| obsidian | Gonna restart and cross my fingers | 08:23 |
| msgol | i dont think thats supported | 08:23 |
| obsidian | Otherwise it's no biggie | 08:23 |
| obsidian | Ooops | 08:23 |
| msgol | what most hardwares only support 4:3 | 08:24 |
| obsidian | msgol: I mean GRUB_GFXMODE=1300x768 | 08:24 |
| msgol | go for 1280*800 | 08:24 |
| msgol | if your monitor supports it | 08:24 |
| obsidian | 1280=960 is the closest 4:3 option | 08:25 |
| obsidian | I'll give [that] a try, reboot, and cross my fingers .. | 08:25 |
| msgol | best of luck! | 08:25 |
| obsidian | thanks!! | 08:25 |
| msgol | cheers! | 08:26 |

| akurilin2 | Quick question: say I have multiple versions of a command-line tool, how do I have the one under ~ supercede the global one under /usr/bin or something like tthat? | 08:29 |
| akurilin2 | I tried to add the path to my local bashrc but that seems to be superceded | 08:29 |
| akurilin2 | by the global tool | 08:29 |
| obsidian | Neither worked. Darn. Oh well .. | 08:30 |
| msgol | oh i found something new obsidian | 08:30 |
| obsidian | ...? | 08:30 |
| msgol | in the grub command. when you press C on grub enter vbeinfo | 08:30 |
| msgol | it gives you supported table | 08:30 |
| msgol | did you do update-grub2 after editing bTW | 08:30 |
| obsidian | no | 08:31 |
| obsidian | What is grub2? | 08:31 |
| msgol | both the same | 08:31 |
| obsidian | hmm | 08:31 |
| obsidian | so then .. | 08:31 |
| obsidian | user@localhost:~$ sudo update-grub2 | 08:31 |
| obsidian | ? | 08:31 |
| msgol | yup | 08:31 |

| jackbrown | Does anyone knows how to launch an HTTP link on a remote pc through a working ssh access ? | 08:33 |
| msgol | the noob way (myway) whould be using elinks on ssh | 08:33 |
| obsidian | Ok, so here's the verdict: I typed "vbeinfo" into the grub> prompt and it didn't seem to recognize the command. There was, however, a similar command "videoinfo" that displayed a list of resolutions. I updated my /etc/default/grub file to reflect one of the "supported" resolutions per "videoinfo" (in GRUB) and then updated GRUB (sudo update-grub2) and here's what happened: the GRUB menu resolution definitely changed. Thank you! But | 08:42 |
| obsidian | the Ubuntu splash/loader and the login screen resolution is still huge which makes the Ubuntu logo and login text box extremely small. I wonder if there's a special Display Manager setting that will allow me to change the login resolution? | 08:42 |
| msgol | ahh you are on a good step | 08:42 |
| msgol | there was something about keep for tty to stay in that ress too 1 sec while i look it up | 08:43 |
| obsidian | Ok, thanks! | 08:43 |
| nikolam | how do I know what BTRFS subvolume is selected for boot, when both 'btrfs subvolume list /' and 'btrfs subvolume get-default' have exactly same output (12.10) | 08:43 |
| nikolam | Instead of making BTRFS snapshot, I made a subvolume. Does it include everything what current used subvolume had in it? | 08:45 |
| msgol | no problem, you need to add this to your grub file. its GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep | 08:47 |
| obsidian | msgol does it matter whether I edit it above or below the GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600 ? | 08:48 |
| msgol | i have mine under GFXMODE | 08:48 |
| nikolam | If I do 'btrfs subvolume set-default' how does boot loader knows what BTRFS subvolume to boot? or is it BTRFS itself on-disk that knows what subvolume is active and mounted on boot? | 08:48 |
| obsidian | msgol roger that. I'll give it a try .. | 08:48 |
| msgol | good luck! | 08:48 |

| justaguy | So, I have ubuntu 13.10 now but i prefer to reinstall and get 12.04 LTS, is there any way that i can just keep all files in /home/justaguy/ during the reinstall? | 09:32 |
| guest-uOGZXj | hello | 09:32 |
| justaguy | (a backup is possible too ofcourse, but reinstalling it without needing to transfer all my file backs would be sweet | 09:32 |
| Gallomimia | i don't believe downgrades are possible or supported with ease | 09:33 |
| bekks | Not having a backup means that you dont need to keep the files because the are not important. | 09:33 |
| Gallomimia | so, backups are probably best | 09:33 |
| hewhomust | justaguy its only possible if you installed a separate home partition | 09:33 |
| bekks | Have a backup. | 09:33 |
| Gallomimia | what bekks said | 09:33 |
| Gallomimia | which reminds me. i'd better make a backup soon | 09:33 |
| Snikt | Hi everybody. I'm a long time ubuntu user (50+ machines) but today one thing started to bug me so much I had to come and ask. Is there any keyboard shortcut to do same as apple+arrows do on mac? I mean if I have for example 20 terminal windows open and I want to switch to next or previous window on the same group | 09:33 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: correct. It's possible but veryumuch nontrivial. I dare say I know my way around Ubuntu and it took me half a day to do a downgrade :) | 09:34 |
| Snikt | I know alt+§ or alt+' whatever its called but its way too clumsy | 09:34 |
| Gallomimia | i'd be interested in picking your brain then seveas cause i have had a lot of broken packages. apt-get doesn't seem to work properly anymore. most notable was wine1.6 and samba4 breaking and being unable to uninstall properly | 09:35 |
| gordonjcp | Snikt: alt-tab | 09:35 |
| Snikt | gordonjcp, it switches between windows | 09:35 |
| Gallomimia | but since i'm going to be reinstalling 13.10 anyway in the next few days on a new raid.... i'm not overly concerned | 09:35 |
| gordonjcp | Snikt: okay, then I don't understand the question | 09:35 |
| Snikt | and alt+§ between windows in a group | 09:36 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: start with this: dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get -f install | 09:36 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: that should at least tell you if apt is happy | 09:36 |
| Snikt | but I seriously need a quickkeys to navigate fast between windows on same group | 09:36 |
| gordonjcp | Snikt: what do you mean "in a group"? | 09:36 |
| Snikt | gordonjcp, if I have opened chrome, thunderbird and 3 console windows, all those 3 console windows are in same group | 09:36 |
| gordonjcp | Snikt: oh, alt-tab to the terminal and hold alt for half a second | 09:37 |
| Gallomimia | seveas no errors... seems alright for now then. i still get errors about broken packages and things held back when actually installing st uff | 09:37 |
| gordonjcp | it'll expand vertically and you can tab between terminals | 09:37 |
| varunendra | Snikt, what is the problem with alt+` ? | 09:37 |
| Snikt | yes but its superslow. even alt+§ is faster (its same as alt+tab but only grouped windows) | 09:37 |
| gordonjcp | varunendra: true | 09:38 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: 'held back' means you need to do a dist-upgrade | 09:38 |
| Snikt | varunendra, its slowness. I dont need a themed switcher but simple quickkeys that I can use to switch to next and previous windows in a group | 09:38 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: and pastebin an actual error when it happens, makes troubleshooting easier :) | 09:38 |
| Snikt | its not very useful when you have 20+ terminal windows open and they all look just same | 09:38 |
| Gallomimia | i should also mention i have kernel 3.12 installed and have yet to determine how and when apt-get will tell me if there's new ones | 09:39 |
| Snikt | I need something like ctrl-alt-arrow is for desktop. but just for windows | 09:39 |
| Seveas | Snikt: imagine life with 50 terminator windows, almost all of them split in mutliple shells. I spend 5-10 minutes a day just closing terminals when I go home after work :) | 09:39 |
| Ben64 | Gallomimia: how did you install 3.12 | 09:39 |
| Gallomimia | snikt yeah i have that problem myself. i'm considering finding a way to name some of the terminals for various purposes | 09:39 |
| Gallomimia | ben64 i grabbed the .deb's from kernel.ubuntu.com | 09:40 |
| Snikt | Seveas, yea. I usually have 20+ terminal windows and those all have hell load of screens | 09:40 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: isn't there a PPA for that? That at least integrates a bit better with the normal update process | 09:40 |
| Ben64 | Gallomimia: using that stops you from getting any kernel updates and any support in this channel | 09:40 |
| Snikt | Gallomimia, yea I named them earlier sometimes but its bad solution for real problem | 09:41 |
| === tatie is now known as gregor3000 | ||
| Seveas | Ben64: don't be a sourpuss, he's using things provided by ubuntu devs... | 09:41 |
| Gallomimia | it was actually recommended to me from this channel. tho there was mention of it being unsupported | 09:42 |
| Ben64 | it's not being a "sourpuss", it is not supported in this channel | 09:42 |
| Gallomimia | i'd be interested in finding a ppa for it. the reason was for better amd gpu support | 09:42 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: "supported" is a loaded word. I don't think canonical offers support for them, and support in here is whatever people want to give you. Clearly Ben64 doesn't want to provide any, but I'm game. | 09:42 |
| varunendra | Snikt, have you tried Scale effect of Compiz with hot corners? | 09:42 |
| Gallomimia | well, i'd best head to bed anyway..... | 09:43 |
| Ben64 | Seveas: thats nice, but you should find another channel, non-official packages are not on topic here | 09:43 |
| Guest37377 | Since upgrading to Ubuntu Saucy my Terminal no longer has transparency. Is there a way to restore that transparency? | 09:43 |
| varunendra | Snikt, I just move my pointer to upper right corner to arrange ALL open windows (on that workspace) and click on the one I want. Can't imaging anything easier and faster than that. | 09:44 |
| Gallomimia | one last question about a cp -R operation i have running right now. it seems to have choked on a korean file name from some korean language support in.... something... is that normal? i'll need to copy it manually later i guess | 09:44 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: "choked" how? | 09:44 |
| Snikt | varunendra, that is probably pretty decent way to do it. I myself try to use mouse as less as possible because it slows down pretty much | 09:44 |
| Gallomimia | i dunno. it spat out an error message: cp: cannot stat '$filename' no such file or directory | 09:45 |
| Snikt | goddamn. I found proper settings from compizmanager | 09:45 |
| Seveas | then the file is not there anymore, might have been temporary :) | 09:45 |
| Gallomimia | there's at least 3 korean characters in the name | 09:45 |
| Ben64 | Gallomimia: yeah, that happens with strange characters sometimes | 09:45 |
| Seveas | are you making a backup? | 09:45 |
| Snikt | just have to change window switcher into ring switcher | 09:45 |
| Seveas | if so, don't use cp, rsync is your friend :) | 09:45 |
| Gallomimia | i'm copying files from drive X to drive Y so i can erase drive X | 09:45 |
| Seveas | yeah, rsync is still your friend for that | 09:46 |
| Gallomimia | i think rsync is better yes, but i'm not very good with it | 09:46 |
| Seveas | if only because it does resuming a lot better | 09:46 |
| Seveas | rsync -av /path/to/src/ /path/to/dst/ | 09:46 |
| Gallomimia | hm. you're right preserving uid's would probably be better in this case | 09:47 |
| Gallomimia | ah me likey -v | 09:48 |
| Seveas | you may like -n as well :) | 09:48 |
| bekks | And --progress :) | 09:49 |
| Gallomimia | both of these disks are normally used with my mac actually. different uid's | 09:49 |
| Seveas | boo, mac | 09:49 |
| Gallomimia | agreed. i'll be ditching mac osx soon. | 09:50 |
| Snikt | nevermind. ring selecter was awful | 09:52 |
| Orien | hi, what's the current status of 10.04 LTS, should we expect security updates? | 09:53 |
| Gallomimia | for server? | 09:53 |
| Orien | server | 09:53 |
| Gallomimia | yes | 09:54 |
| bekks | Orien: Supported for servers until 2015. | 09:54 |
| Orien | I ask because http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2013/CVE-2013-6393.html | 09:54 |
| ubottu | ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem.

| Guest37377 | Hi is there a way to restore Transparency to Gnome Terminal after Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade/ | 09:54 |
| bekks | Orien: That fix is included for a long time. | 09:54 |
| Guest37377 | ? | 09:54 |
| Orien | bekks: so an up-to-date 10.04 shouldn't be vulnerable right? | 09:56 |
| Orien | bekks: (server) | 09:56 |
| Gallomimia | Guest37377: the transparency in terminal is under profiles > background | 09:56 |
| Gallomimia | right click your terminal and select profiles | 09:57 |
| Gallomimia | (not sure if this is the same as it was in 13.04) | 09:57 |
| Seveas | Orien:according to that page, 10.04 LTS did not receive a security update for that CVE | 09:57 |
| Seveas | Orien: so I guess that package was marked as 'desktop' and only received 3 years support | 09:58 |
| Seveas | Orien: to find per package support: apt-cache show packagename_goes_here | grep Supported | 09:58 |
| Orien | cheers Seveas | 09:58 |
| Guest37377 | Yes I''ve checked there its been removed since I upgraded to 13.10 | 09:59 |
| Guest37377 | I've been seeing this online on the websites | 09:59 |
| Gallomimia | odd that. i'm on 13.10 and it's there for me | 09:59 |
| Guest37377 | really? | 09:59 |
| Guest37377 | hmmm | 09:59 |
| Gallomimia | yup. just checked before answering | 09:59 |
| Guest37377 | I've got it with Guake just not with Saucy Gnome version | 10:00 |
| Gallomimia | oh. perhaps i'm not running gnome | 10:00 |
| Gallomimia | that must be what's different yes | 10:00 |
| Guest37377 | right its gnome terminal | 10:00 |
| Guest37377 | not unity | 10:00 |
| Orien | Seveas 'Supported: 5y' | 10:01 |
| Gallomimia | anyone know any good programs for finding duplicate files on a disk? | 10:01 |
| Orien | on package libyaml-0-2 | 10:01 |
| Gallomimia | looks like i have a whole bunch of dirs duplicated in different areas on this volume i'm rsync'ing | 10:01 |
| nightfly | Gallomimia: fslink | 10:01 |
| Seveas | Orien: hmm, odd, that CVE page says the package was not updated due to end-of-life. Maybe file a bug? | 10:01 |
| nightfly | *fslint | 10:01 |
| Orien | Seveas strange not to get an update | 10:01 |
| LeMike1 | Pardon this, but I don't get the right Keywords for it. I want to have a terminal appearing every morning/workday at 9:00 in my gnome shell executing one shell script I wrote. How do I do that? | 10:02 |
| Orien | Seveas could you point me in the appropriate direction? | 10:02 |
| === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW | ||
| Seveas | Gallomimia: fdupes | 10:02 |
| Gallomimia | nightfly: not finding such a program with google | 10:03 |
| Seveas | Orien: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 10:03 |
| Orien | thanks for your help Seveas, I'll get on that | 10:03 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: also rdfind or duff (found with apt-cachesearch duplicate) | 10:04 |
| Gallomimia | what's the difference? | 10:04 |
| Gallomimia | the files in question, some are named exactly the same but i'd also like to do real file comparisons by size and so on | 10:04 |
| Seveas | dunno, I never used either :) | 10:04 |
| Gallomimia | reading the man for fdupes it looks like what i want | 10:04 |
| Seveas | I need to do so soon to consolidate a bunch of backups | 10:05 |
| Gallomimia | i've got a lot of data files. media, videos and stuff | 10:05 |
| Gallomimia | drastically disorganized :( | 10:05 |
| Gallomimia | this should help thanks | 10:05 |
| Seveas | I know the feeling :) | 10:05 |
| Seveas | I have backup inception: get new machine, back up onld machine onto it. Lather rinse repeat. | 10:06 |
| Gallomimia | i'm clearing the data from 2 2tb drives to join a third in raid5. bit of a job :/ | 10:06 |
| Seveas | I think I was at 6 levels deep | 10:06 |
| LeMike1 | is there any way having a crontab run an application on the current xserver like LibreOffice or open the terminal ? | 10:07 |
| Gallomimia | seveas i had so many extra hd's laying about that i didn't bother to buy any drives with this system | 10:08 |
| Gallomimia | tho i've since picked up a pair of SSD's for it. planning to use dm-cache for those tho | 10:08 |
| Seveas | LeMike1: try setting DISPLAY to the correct value in the crontab | 10:09 |
| Seveas | LeMike1: doesn't work for all applications though | 10:09 |
| LeMike1 | oh okay. so prefix "env DISPLAY=:0" simple ^^ I guess I need some coffee | 10:10 |
| bekks | Seveas: It works for no application. | 10:12 |
| bekks | Seveas: The environment of jobs run by cron is not preserved at all, since they dont have an environment by default. | 10:12 |
| Gallomimia | cron jobs. the terribly difficult mess in my life | 10:13 |
| Gallomimia | i've been trying to write some cron jobs that pull code repos of choice to a local disk | 10:13 |
| Seveas | bekks: you don't know what you're talking about. | 10:14 |
| bekks | Seveas: I do know. Thank you. | 10:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: why does that need access to the xserver? | 10:14 |
| Gallomimia | it doesn't. but i still can't get it to run | 10:14 |
| Gallomimia | i've gotten a grand total of zero scripts to run properly under cron | 10:15 |
| Seveas | In the crontab you can define environment variables for cronjobs. Either the way LeMike1 said or by simply setting them. Setting $DISPLAY makes some X applications work, you may also need variables like the DBUS session address if your application uses that | 10:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: what type scm? | 10:15 |
| Seveas | but something as simple as loopy (from sgt-puzzles) pops up without a hitch | 10:15 |
| bekks | Seveas: You can define the environment for _cron jobs_ - and that environemnt is not preserved for anything else. Thats exactly what I said. | 10:15 |
| Gallomimia | usually they're git. important repos of note. you know... stuff like ogre, bitcoin... | 10:16 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: some things to know about cron, it has no environment, so no $PATH. It's running dash, not bash, but you can call bash scripts | 10:16 |
| Seveas | bekks: what the hell are you talking about? You set an environment for the cronjob, that's all that's needed. | 10:16 |
| Gallomimia | things with the hash bang of /bin/bash ? | 10:16 |
| Seveas | Seriously, try it, it works. | 10:16 |
| Seveas | DISPLAY=:0 | 10:16 |
| Seveas | * * * * * /usr/games/loopy | 10:17 |
| Seveas | wait at most 1 minute, loopy pops up | 10:17 |
| bekks | Seveas: I never denied it will not work for cron jobs, I said it will not work to set an environment in cron whic is used by non-cron then. Read more, write less. | 10:17 |
| Seveas | bekks: oh shut up. We're talking about running X applications with cron jobs. I explained how to make that work, you said it won't work. But it does. | 10:18 |
| Gallomimia | geek fights at 0218 on a friday night :) fun times | 10:18 |
| bekks | Seveas: ignore set. I am not going to waste my time with people with your attitude. | 10:18 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: I have ~30 servers dedicated to just running cron jobs :) | 10:18 |
| Seveas | bekks: pity. You might learn something :) | 10:19 |
| bekks | If you need to call people names, better take a break and go for a walk. | 10:19 |
| Gallomimia | walk? nowai. i'm going to bed | 10:19 |
| Seveas | Gallomimia: 'night | 10:19 |
| Gallomimia | 2tb copying over usb3. that'll be done in the morning right? | 10:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | Gallomimia: it should yes | 10:20 |
| Gallomimia | grand. g'night all. thanks for the wisdom | 10:20 |
| Seveas | hitsujiTMO: maybe not if the disk itself is slow? Too lazy to figure it out :) | 10:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Seveas: ofc, but probability in that is in Gallomimia's favour | 10:23 |
| Seveas | and in 10 minutes time his computer goes into standby mode >:) | 10:24 |

| iras | hi | 10:34 |
| iras | maybe this is bug but eventually not and you may help me :) | 10:34 |
| knightshade | hi | 10:35 |
| iras | i'm running linux mint 16 (based on ubuntu 13.10) | 10:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | !mint | iras | 10:35 |
| ubottu | iras: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:35 |
| iras | the problem is much deeper than the changes made from mint. it is kernel related | 10:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | iras: mint is not supported here at all. We know nothing of mint so we cannot help | 10:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | iras: if you believe its a general kernel issue then maybe ask for help in ##linux | 10:37 |
| impaktor_ | how do I force apt-get to remove a package. I have a broken package, and apt-get keeps telling be to do a "-f install", but I'm out of inodes, so if always fails. | 10:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: remove it with dpkg | 10:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: altho, if you're out of inodes, i'd address that issue first | 10:42 |
| impaktor_ | hitsujiTMO: dpkg won't start since I have a broken package. | 10:42 |
| impaktor_ | hitsujiTMO: I don't see any obvious reason why I'm out. I have a lot of linux-headers-generic-pae packages though. | 10:43 |
| LeMike1 | MEH. gnome-terminal as run from crontab wants me to enter the id_rsa keyword. can't I avoid this? | 10:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: are you running a mail server? | 10:44 |
| impaktor_ | nope | 10:44 |
| impaktor_ | it's pretty vanilla install. | 10:44 |
| bekks | free up space, then run apt-get -f install. | 10:45 |
| impaktor_ | bekks: Problem is: it's the root space that needs freeing, so I need to find something in / to remove... like old packages or something. | 10:45 |
| bekks | sudo apt-get clean | 10:46 |
| Ben64 | how did you manage to get 4,000,000,000 files in / | 10:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: can you pastebin the output of: df -h && df -i | 10:47 |
| bekks | you dont have that much inodes. | 10:47 |
| impaktor_ | df -h tells me I have 2 GB left on "/" 79%, df -i tells me I'm using 99% of "/" | 10:48 |
| Tom1 | is it necessary to install updates after installing ubuntu os? | 10:48 |

| Dreaman | http://s18.postimg.org/qp9rqnx7t/2014_02_08_12_48_13.png | 10:49 |
| bekks | Tom1: If you want to get updates, yes. | 10:49 |
| Tom1 | bekks: i mean i don;t want any updates, are updates really crirtical for system stability, like if i don;t install updates will my ubuntu os crash and won;t start? | 10:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | Tom1: the updates fix bugs and security issues | 10:51 |
| bekks | Tom1: yes they are vital. | 10:51 |
| bekks | Tom1: you want updates, in every use case. | 10:51 |
| Tom1 | but in linux mint , i don;t do updates regularly and it still works, no problem | 10:52 |
| Tom1 | and linux mint is based on ubuntu. | 10:53 |
| Ben64 | "works" isn't the same as "no bugs" or "secure" | 10:53 |
| bekks | Then you are a very good target ror crackers. | 10:53 |
| bekks | Tom1: Its like running an unpatched XP on the internet. Pointless, insecure, just dont do it. | 10:54 |
| impaktor_ | Is linux-header-generic-pae needed for anything? I only have 4 GB ram, so I don't see why it's installed. | 10:54 |
| Tom1 | bekks: i agree, ur correct, but i am opposing updates, because they make my ubuntu installation very sluggish and slow. | 10:55 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: that is simply not true | 10:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: thats you kernel | 10:55 |
| home-horim | hello, i want to transfer files from my galaxy 3 for backup purposes. what should i do? do i need a synchronization software for that? please help me determine what should i do for smart backuping | 10:55 |
| bekks | Tom1: Updates dont make a system slow - maybe on Mint, but not on Ubuntu. | 10:56 |
| impaktor_ | hitsujiTMO: As I understand it that package is for managing large memory. I see i have it evreywhere in my /usr/src/linux-header | 10:57 |
| Ben64 | impaktor_: please don't start going around deleting random things, thats a great way to break your system even more | 10:57 |
| bekks | impaktor_: PAE is needed to use > 4GB RAM on 32bit OS. | 10:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: no, it the kernel itself | 10:57 |
| bekks | impaktor_: /usr/src/linux-header contains the headers for the running kernel. | 10:58 |
| Tom1 | bekks: is my hardware sufficient for ubuntu? 4 gb ddr3 ram, intel quad core cpu, 1 tb seagate hdd. is it ok? | 10:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: you simply have a kernel that has pae support | 10:58 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: yes | 10:58 |
| Sysi | impaktor_: default kernel is nowdays pae, there isn't not-pae around anymore | 10:58 |
| bekks | Tom1: Thats plenty of hardware. | 10:58 |
| impaktor_ | but I have to remove something, but all apt-get keeps telling me is I have a broken package, so I can't remove any package untill I fix the broken package. | 10:58 |
| Ben64 | impaktor_: first you should figure out where all your inodes are being used. thats not a normal situation. deleting stuff from the root directory will never help apt-get | 10:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: you were asked a while ago to pastebin the output of: sudo du -shx /* please so so and we can help determine where the inode usage is happening | 10:59 |
| impaktor_ | I'm not on that computer now, wait a while. | 11:00 |

| Tom1 | bekks: i want to install ubuntu on a 32 gb pendrive permanently. and i want to use ext4 filesystem. but as we know ext4 is journaling filesystem which means it will give a lot of stress, and it also does a lot of read and writes to pendrive. which can shorten it life, is it true that ext4 can shorten the lifespan of flashdrives | 11:05 |

| Tom1 | bekks: i though ext2 would be faster since it does not do journaling? | 11:07 |
| moises | I used to use virtualbox for each site I develop (using vagrant, but I think it's out of ecuation here) | 11:07 |
| impaktor_ | hitsujiTMO: did the pastebin look strange? | 11:07 |
| bekks | Tom1: Thats a totally wrong assumption. | 11:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: yes not used to seeing /selinux in ubuntu :) | 11:08 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: do you know what journaling is? | 11:08 |
| Tom1 | bekks: ok , thanks for clearing the doubt. | 11:08 |
| figgycity50 | 32 gb is defiantly enough for ubuntu | 11:09 |
| impaktor_ | fuck it, I'll reinstall it. | 11:09 |
| moises | If i suspend when I have a vm initiated, the wake up not work | 11:09 |
| Tom1 | k1l_: i think in journaling system the data integrity is very good, ie like its very robust in case of improper shutdowns and powercuts. | 11:09 |
| figgycity50 | Yeah | 11:09 |
| figgycity50 | I think | 11:09 |
| home-horim | hitsujiTMO, do you mean lucky backup? becasue rsync is already installed and can't be opened because there is no way to find its icon | 11:09 |
| figgycity50 | Flushing, thats what it is | 11:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: can you also pastebin the output of: df -i so we can determine what directories are not part of root | 11:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | home-horim: rsync is a cli utility | 11:10 |
| bekks | Tom1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system | 11:10 |
| kannanunni | hai | 11:10 |
| figgycity50 | Is any ubuntu flavour going to run on a 4gb memory stick? | 11:10 |
| bekks | figgycity50: Every flavour will. | 11:11 |
| figgycity50 | But unity need 5.6gb | 11:11 |
| Tom1 | ubuntu needs atleast 16 gb flashdrive to be installed completely. | 11:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | figgycity50: as a live cd image yes, or an installed copy of ubuntu-server | 11:11 |
| bekks | figgycity50: Thats not true. | 11:11 |
| bekks | figgycity50: I am running Unity fine on a 4GB vm. | 11:11 |
| figgycity50 | Would xubutnu work installled? | 11:11 |
| bekks | figgycity50: Every flavour need less than 4GB of space. | 11:12 |
| figgycity50 | K | 11:12 |
| Tom1 | 6 gb of root partition, 4 gb of swap partition and 4 gb of /home partition for ubuntu. | 11:12 |
| bekks | Tom1: Thats nonsense. You need a 4GB stick at most. | 11:12 |
| andiho123 | It is possible to upgrade Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit to 13.10 64bit? | 11:12 |
| bekks | andiho123: no. | 11:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | figgycity50: use the mini iso. install a minimal system, then install your de of choice | 11:12 |
| figgycity50 | Main flavour install says 5.6 gb in !vbox | 11:12 |
| impaktor_ | hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/wMkfPsVV | 11:12 |
| figgycity50 | K | 11:12 |
| home-horim | hitsujiTMO, what do you mean by cli utility? | 11:12 |
| figgycity50 | Where is minimal? | 11:12 |
| kannanunni | sometimes my computer restarts after loading grub. anyone please help' | 11:12 |
| Tom1 | bekks: i mean permanent installation of ubuntu, not persistent. | 11:13 |
| k1l_ | !rootirc > Tom1 | 11:13 |
| ubottu | Tom1, please see my private message | 11:13 |
| bekks | Tom1: I am talking of persistent installations only. | 11:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | home-horim: you run it from the command line / terminal | 11:13 |
| Tom1 | bekks: yes that ok then. | 11:13 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: that is not true. ubuntu runs fine without swap (depends on ram and if you want to suspend) and the minimal requirements are much lower | 11:13 |
| bekks | Tom1: you dont need more than a 4GB USB, since using swap on USB is even slower, and will most likely kill your pendrive faster than every journalling fs would do. | 11:14 |
| figgycity50 | Where can i get the mini iso | 11:14 |
| home-horim | hitsujiTMO, lucky backup is a non terminal alternative? | 11:14 |
| Tom1 | bekks: but swap is recommend in ubuntu? | 11:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | home-horim: no idea of gui tools, sorry | 11:14 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: not on a usb stick | 11:14 |
| figgycity50 | Tom1 not every use case is the same | 11:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | !minimal | figgycity50 | 11:14 |
| ubottu | figgycity50: 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 | 11:14 |
| figgycity50 | Thx | 11:15 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: usb is very very slow. swap doesnt make sense. and when you panik of wear levels of Filesystems why do you even want to put swap on it? | 11:15 |
| home-horim | hitsujiTMO, ok thank you | 11:16 |
| figgycity50 | K1l_ he thought swap was faster | 11:17 |
| k1l_ | no | 11:17 |
| bekks | figgycity50: Swap will never speed up things at all. | 11:17 |
| home-horim | anyone knows of a good syncronization software with gui? | 11:17 |
| bekks | home-horim: grsync | 11:17 |
| figgycity50 | Ubuntu one? | 11:17 |
| Tom1 | i have sucessfully installed mint 15 xfce on a flash drive with all swap paritions and all. i ran it almost for about 2 months with no problems, no slowdowns, no crashes, no hangups. i though ubuntu should also work like mint did. | 11:17 |
| bekks | Tom1: We dont care about mint. | 11:17 |
| k1l_ | swap was faster, when ram was very very very expensive and ram was not that fast. | 11:18 |
| Guest92494 | helo people | 11:18 |
| figgycity50 | Swap is slower now | 11:18 |
| bekks | k1l_: That must have been right before the dinosaurs. | 11:18 |
| Guest92494 | i am going to ask about forbidden things and stuff like that | 11:18 |
| bekks | figgycity50: Swap is as fast as your disk. Not as fast as your RAM. | 11:18 |
| Guest92494 | in ubuntu | 11:18 |
| bekks | figgycity50: Difference: about 1000x | 11:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: ok. get a root terminal up: sudo -i and run this: for i in `find . -type d `; do echo `ls -a $i | wc -l` $i; done | sort -n | 11:18 |
| Tom1 | swap was never faster, its like using ur storage medium as a portion as virtual ram. | 11:19 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: do a persistent usb install. no need to make that much panic about it | 11:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: it will take a while, but should tell you where the inodes are beind used up | 11:19 |

| Guest92494 | if i install a software in ubuntu logged in as root will i be able to run it as another user without modifying config files and other as such? | 11:19 |
| figgycity50 | Yes | 11:20 |
| bekks | Guest92494: Why are you logged in as root? The root account in Ubuntu is disabled by purpose. | 11:20 |
| Tom1 | i have done persistent installation and all that. ubuntu used to give me error messages with it . i was unable to mount hdd partitions, ran slower, that's why i want to install it to usb drive, like we do with hdd | 11:20 |
| Guest92494 | bekks...is beacause i want so | 11:20 |
| Guest92494 | i want to leave windows | 11:20 |
| figgycity50 | Yeah guest | 11:20 |
| Guest92494 | and i want to do so as easy as posible | 11:20 |
| Guest92494 | now | 11:21 |
| bekks | !root | Guest92494 | 11:21 |
| ubottu | Guest92494: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:21 |
| figgycity50 | Root is like not easy | 11:21 |
| Guest92494 | i tried that with vlc player and worked fine | 11:21 |
| bekks | Guest92494: If you just use your root account for everything, you will break your box. Do not do it. | 11:21 |
| Guest92494 | will it work with any other software as well? | 11:21 |
| Tom1 | how do u know if someone is chatting as root? | 11:21 |
| figgycity50 | Use the software center | 11:21 |
| figgycity50 | Its easy | 11:21 |
| figgycity50 | You want easy | 11:21 |
| bekks | Tom1: We can see the acoount name your are using. | 11:21 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: if you want to leave windows, leave windows' approach to user security behind as well | 11:21 |

| figgycity50 | What card you have? | 11:22 |
| Tom1 | am i running as root? | 11:22 |
| bekks | Guest92494: sudo apt-get... as USER will work. | 11:22 |
| bekks | Tom1: Tell us. | 11:22 |
| figgycity50 | Tom1 no. | 11:22 |
| Guest92494 | ubottu please control bekks | 11:22 |
| ubottu | Guest92494: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:22 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you know there is sudo? | 11:22 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: learn to install things the proper way, apt-get and sudo are your friends. installing stuff manually can break your system | 11:23 |
| Guest92494 | i dont want to use sudo...too much letters to write | 11:23 |

| Guest92494 | i want without | 11:23 |
| figgycity50 | Dude | 11:23 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: always being the admin (or root) is a bad windows habbit. just use sudo apt-get install <video-driver-package> | 11:23 |
| figgycity50 | Everyone has net nowadays | 11:23 |
| bekks | Guest92494: Your are in the internet currently, so use it. | 11:23 |
| figgycity50 | Yes | 11:24 |
| Guest92494 | i want to do this...and after some time i will start use those things too | 11:24 |
| Guest92494 | but not from the start | 11:24 |
| Tom1 | bekks: what are the dangers in running as root? | 11:24 |
| bekks | Tom1: Insecurity. | 11:24 |
| Guest92494 | and without the internet...can be done to much harm to the box can it? | 11:24 |
| figgycity50 | Okay | 11:24 |
| Tom1 | bekks: i mean chatting as root in irc? | 11:24 |
| Guest92494 | you guys are in lockdown right now | 11:24 |
| figgycity50 | You should use the Internet to install packages | 11:24 |
| bekks | Guest92494: Just leave the bad habbits of windows. | 11:24 |
| Guest92494 | i dont want to | 11:25 |
| bekks | Then dont ask for help. | 11:25 |
| figgycity50 | Why not | 11:25 |
| k1l_ | Guest92377: honestly. ubuntu is made to be used with sudo where you need root permissions but to run as user in all other cases. so if you want to be root all the time you are doing things much complicated | 11:25 |
| hewhomust | well use windows | 11:25 |
| Guest92494 | aaaaaaaaaa | 11:25 |
| figgycity50 | Dude use the internet please | 11:25 |
| figgycity50 | there is no way not to | 11:25 |
| Guest92494 | i asked if will it work | 11:25 |
| Guest92494 | why figgy...for you to hack me? | 11:25 |
| Guest92494 | :) | 11:25 |
| bekks | Guest92494: shooting yourself in the foor will work too, technically. | 11:25 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: and the standard way is to use the official ubuntu repos. that is one of the favours of linux/ubuntu | 11:25 |
| figgycity50 | I'm not hacking you | 11:25 |
| bekks | *foot | 11:26 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: running every program as root is a security issue, yes. dont do that | 11:26 |
| figgycity50 | Indeed | 11:26 |

| hitsujiTMO | Tom1: if there's a vulnerability in your irc client, some will have root access to your machine | 11:27 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: use sudo, why don't you want to understand that? | 11:27 |

| Guest92494 | yeah ben you dont...and none of these guys either...sheeesh | 11:28 |
| figgycity50 | Bye | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: it's very simple. if you want to use ubuntu, learn how to use it. part of that is sudo | 11:29 |
| Guest92494 | ben there is a posibility of clicky clicky too | 11:29 |
| Guest92494 | so i want to use that at first | 11:29 |
| Guest92494 | now do you uderstand? | 11:29 |
| hewhomust | Guest92494: thats still not running as root | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | what is "clicky clicky" | 11:29 |
| hewhomust | gui | 11:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | Guest92494: you're not making any sense | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | then use the software center.... which uses sudo behind the scenes for you | 11:30 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: use software center to isntall programs if you want to use gui | 11:30 |
| Guest92494 | yes i like to install software from gui and normal user doesn't let me | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | you're making it so much more complicated than needed | 11:30 |
| Guest92494 | only root does | 11:30 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: that is a lie! | 11:30 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest23489 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | Guest92494: use sudo as a normal user | 11:30 |

| hawt-user | i want connect to machine behind adsl modem through ssh, i have installed openssh listening on 22, port forwarding rule on modem, $ ssh hawt-user@doitwrong.no-ip.biz ssh: connect to host doitwrong.no-ip.biz port 22: Connection refused | 11:31 |
| Guest92494 | i do not want a flame war so i am leaving...thanks for not helping....so no heaven for you when you will die | 11:31 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you can isntall software with software-center as a user. it will ask for your user password t complete install. but you dont need to be root. | 11:31 |
| hawt-user | nmap says that 22 port is not open.. | 11:31 |
| omri | hawt-user: can you SSH to that machine from your LAN? | 11:32 |
| hawt-user | omri: yes | 11:32 |
| Guest92494 | no after you provide pass some errors will apear beacause no full prvilegges are met | 11:32 |
| omri | hawt-user: so my guess is your port forwarding is no good | 11:32 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: then you have problems on your system already. that is not a standard install then | 11:32 |
| omri | hawt-user: to make sure, run tcpdump on that interface and see if you see a SYN packet to port 22 when you SSH from the internet | 11:33 |

| Ben64 | Guest92494: ubuntu is not like windows, you do not need to scour the internet to find driver packages in the vast majority of circumstances | 11:36 |
| Guest92494 | oh you dont want me to watch tv from linux you dont want me to program p[ics from linux | 11:36 |

| Guest92494 | ok i am going to install it as root and see what happens | 11:41 |
| Ben64 | then you probably want ubuntu 12.04, its the last release with support for that card | 11:41 |
| Tom1 | Ben64:which ditro are u using? | 11:42 |
| Guest92494 | why do i need support for a card when ihave the drivers for it? | 11:42 |
| Guest92494 | for linux that is | 11:42 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: this is #ubuntu, so ... Ubuntu :) | 11:42 |
| Guest92494 | ? | 11:42 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: i am loosing my patience now so i will stop trying to help you find the proper way. please listen to advice of the other users, if you ask for help. if you dont want to follow advice stop asking | 11:42 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: because installing drivers manually can break your system | 11:43 |
| Guest92494 | that is correct ben.. can break | 11:43 |
| Guest92494 | i want to learn the hard way | 11:43 |
| Guest92494 | like i learned in windows | 11:43 |
| Ben64 | well have fun, keep in mind you can't come here to have us help when you break it | 11:44 |
| Tom1 | Ben64: one more question, how to know if someone is ircing as root? | 11:44 |
| Ben64 | or install 12.04 and have it just work | 11:44 |
| Guest92494 | i just reinstall it again | 11:44 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: you've been told this many times already | 11:44 |
| Guest92494 | that is no concern | 11:44 |
| moises | Guest92494 write a new driver for that video card | 11:44 |
| moises | it's the hard way | 11:44 |
| Tom1 | Ben64:/whois? | 11:44 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: correct | 11:44 |
| Guest92494 | moises i am not a software god like you so i can not do it | 11:44 |
| bekks | Guest92494: Then listen tp the people telling you how to do it. | 11:45 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: which is why you should install 12.04 | 11:45 |
| Guest92494 | oh bekks don't tell me i have to rewrite a driver now :))) | 11:45 |
| Guest92494 | tat is hilarious | 11:45 |
| moises | I was writing the same, bekks | 11:45 |
| moises | :) | 11:45 |
| bekks | Guest92494: No. Just stop your windows approach and listen to the people telling you how to do things in linux. | 11:46 |
| bekks | Guest92494: If you are unwilling to listen - dont ask. | 11:46 |
| Guest92494 | you guys want me to leave the graphical environment foor a cli...you are kiding..or something is definitely with you | 11:46 |
| Ben64 | nobody said that! | 11:47 |
| Guest92494 | i want to use cli when gui just cant help at all | 11:47 |
| Guest92494 | i am not completely against cli | 11:47 |
| Ben64 | nobody ever said to use cli | 11:47 |
| Guest92494 | and beside...you can not explain commands correclty if i will go with your aproach | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | my approach is to install the version of ubuntu that supports your video card | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | nothing to do with cli vs gui | 11:48 |
| Guest92494 | you will start redisrect me on other sites where i will definitely get lost and oose my interest in linux...i simply do NOT want that | 11:48 |
| Guest92494 | yes there is ben | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | -------------install 12.04------------- | 11:49 |
| Guest92494 | i asked how to do it in gui...you guys try to shove the terminal up my throat | 11:49 |
| Tom1 | Bekks: can someone access the your computer , if ur running as root? wouldn't linux stop him for hacking into the pc? or is it as simple as it is in windows? | 11:49 |
| Guest92494 | well i just can not swallow it | 11:49 |
| Ben64 | i'm done with you, you're making up nonsense | 11:49 |
| gordonjcp | Guest92494: what exactly are you trying to do? | 11:50 |
| Guest92494 | please ben show me the nonsense..... please | 11:50 |
| bekks | Tom1: Yes, people can hack you. No, linux does not stop him automagically. It is not as simple as in windows. | 11:50 |
| bekks | Guest92494: Just read your own backlog. More than enough nonsense. | 11:51 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: you keep going on about cli. NOBODY is telling you to use cli. i'm telling you to INSTALL 12.04 IF YOU WANT SUPPORT FOR YOUR ANCIENT VIDEO CARD. end of story! | 11:51 |
| Guest92494 | bekks you are ridiculous | 11:51 |
| Guest92494 | i ask gui installation help you are shoving cli up my throat | 11:51 |
| Guest92494 | and others do the same here | 11:52 |
| gordonjcp | Guest92494: ask a specific question | 11:52 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: please stop asking if you dont want to hear answers. state a precise question and people will try to give a precise answer. | 11:52 |
| Guest92494 | just to show how good you are | 11:52 |
| Guest92494 | ok k1 | 11:52 |
| Guest92494 | hear this question then | 11:52 |
| Guest92494 | will a root installation from gui login give acces to the normal user to the execution of the software installed as root...logged in as root? | 11:53 |
| impaktor_ | hitsujiTMO: Scrollback history was limited, but here's the result http://pastebin.com/KTEzqzyB | 11:53 |
| Guest92494 | YES or NO | 11:53 |
| Burrito | YES | 11:53 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: its easier to give commands that a user should put into a terminal (like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/DlyYM.png ) then to tell him" clikc there and then click the 3rd checkbos there and then click there and click in the 5th collum there....." | 11:53 |
| Guest92494 | that is what i was looking for | 11:54 |
| Guest92494 | thank you | 11:54 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: you're going to break your system | 11:54 |
| Ben64 | install 12.04 | 11:54 |
| bekks | Guest92494: I am honest, not ridiculous. | 11:54 |
| Guest92494 | we could have spared alot of time | 11:54 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: what you're trying to do will NOT work | 11:54 |
| Guest92494 | ben i allready installed 12.04 | 11:54 |
| bekks | Guest92494: You dont want to hear answers, so further support of you is a wastte of time for me. Good luck. | 11:54 |
| Burrito | The conventional method for installing software is using sudo or synaptic-pkexec, not logging in as root. | 11:54 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you never answered us what ubuntu you got there | 11:54 |
| Guest92494 | bekks i want to hear the right answers for my problem | 11:54 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: then the driver is already included, congratulations | 11:54 |
| Guest92494 | not just some answers | 11:55 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you just said alot how nonsens we are. so please try to be specific with answers | 11:55 |
| Ben64 | Guest92494: you're question is nonsensical, so you're never going to get the answer you want | 11:55 |
| Guest92494 | ben it is not includen for nvidia cards | 11:55 |
| Ben64 | it actually is included for nvidia cards too | 11:55 |
| Guest92494 | only for s3 probably | 11:55 |
| Ben64 | but you said you have s3 | 11:55 |
| bekks | Guest92494: It is not you who decided whats the right answer, when asking a question. | 11:55 |
| bekks | *decides | 11:55 |
| Guest92494 | ben i do not have acceleration on my 8600 gs | 11:55 |
| Guest92494 | so that is a lie | 11:56 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you said you have a s3 card, not nvidia | 11:56 |
| Ben64 | you said you had an s3! | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | 11:54 < Guest92494> will a root installation from gui login give acces to the normal user to the execution of the software installed as root...logged in as root? | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | Guest92494: yes | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | Guest92494: you cannot log into the GUI as root though | 11:56 |
| Guest92494 | it keeps asking me about some proprietary drivers that seems to not want to installl | 11:56 |
| Ben64 | gordonjcp: you should read the full scrollback before answering something like that | 11:56 |
| Tom1 | Guest92494: are you running as root? | 11:56 |
| Guest92494 | gordon i allready logged in as root | 11:56 |
| bekks | Tom1: Yes he is. Dont do that. | 11:56 |
| Guest92494 | another lie | 11:56 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: again: we dont know what system you got there. you need to tell us. we cant just guess it | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | Guest92494: you can't, unless you've set a root password | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | Guest92494: in which case you must wipe the system and reinstall | 11:57 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: Which is not true. Disabling the root account suffices. | 11:57 |
| Guest92494 | k1 system is ubuntu 12.04 video nvidia 8600gs sound realtek hd audio | 11:58 |
| Ben64 | what happened to your s3 card?? | 11:58 |
| Guest92494 | that is sufficient i think | 11:58 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: so why did you make up the story about a s3 trio card? | 11:58 |
| bekks | Ben64: It magically changed make and model. | 11:58 |
| Ben64 | smells like troll | 11:58 |
| Guest92494 | i have a lot of old pieces that is why ia want general answers so i do not have to bother you 100 times for one job | 11:59 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: I disagree, no idea what kind of a mess people blundering around as root have done | 11:59 |
| Guest92494 | that happened to my card ben...i have many types of them | 11:59 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: so nvidia is supported, even with easy gui install. just go to system settings, updates, and then in the last tab you will see prop. driver installation | 11:59 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: passwd should be patched so that if it detects anyone setting a password for root, it automatically does dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda | 11:59 |
| bekks | Guest92494: And there is no generic approach for every card. | 11:59 |
| Guest92494 | i have an nvidia an ati...2 s3's | 11:59 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: strong disagree. | 11:59 |
| Guest92494 | and a hercules 3dfx something | 11:59 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: there is absolutely no reason to have a root password set | 12:00 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: there is no generic answer to all video card. the ways to handle video cards can be very different. so again: state precise questions to get good answers | 12:00 |
| Guest92494 | and some other sound cards too | 12:00 |
| Guest92494 | ok nvidia 8600 gs | 12:00 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: No reason at home - an hundreds in business use cases, like cluster intercommunication, etc. | 12:00 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: nope | 12:00 |
| Guest92494 | lets start with that | 12:00 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: You never dealt with HA clusters then. | 12:00 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: have you got a specific example of something that would require a valid root login, that could not be done with sudo? | 12:00 |
| koell | hi i would like to map the left alt-key to access the third level on keyboard. how to do that? | 12:01 |
| Guest92494 | i download the kit for ubuntu...then what? | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | Guest92377: like i told: system settings, updates , last tab for driver install | 12:01 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: bear in mind we've had sudo for what, 20 years now? More even | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: NO! | 12:01 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: Symantec Veritas Cluster Server intercommunication. | 12:01 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: Dont discuss about thing you dont know. | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: loading stuff from website is wrong! dont do the windows fails. | 12:01 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: and why does that need a valid root login? | 12:01 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: See their docs. | 12:01 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: more to the point, why does it require such an obsolete concept? | 12:01 |
| Guest92494 | k1 i do not want to be dependent of the internet as aq junkie is dependent on heroine | 12:02 |
| Guest92494 | o dont know how to explain this better | 12:02 |
| Guest92494 | so | 12:02 |
| Guest92494 | that's what i have | 12:02 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: that is just a bad idea | 12:02 |
| Guest92494 | why? | 12:03 |
| Guest92494 | no internet no hacking | 12:03 |
| Guest92494 | no? | 12:03 |
| Tom1 | Guest92494: type uname -a in terminal and copy and paste the result here on irc. | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you realise you are in internet now? | 12:03 |
| Aeo_ | hey | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: you did even load the "kit" from a website. so this is just plain trolling of you | 12:04 |
| Guest92494 | yes but i can wipe everything | 12:04 |
| Guest92494 | after this is over | 12:04 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: dont misuse this channel. this is technical ubuntu support channel. if you dont want to get help dont ask in here. thanks | 12:04 |
| Tom1 | Guest92494: uname -a does not wipes anything, it print abput ur hardware. | 12:04 |
| k1l_ | !guidelines > Guest92494 | 12:04 |
| ubottu | Guest92494, please see my private message | 12:04 |
| Aeo_ | does anyone have any idea how to mount cifs shares in fstab, with rw to chmod/chown | 12:04 |
| Guest92494 | i want help without sudo | 12:04 |
| Guest92494 | just graphical that is why unity is running by default | 12:05 |
| Guest92494 | i am not misusing anything | 12:05 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: sudo is the ubuntu way. if you dont like it and dont know what you are actual doing use something different | 12:05 |
| Guest92494 | then why canonical bothered to make unity k1 WHY? | 12:05 |
| Guest92494 | tell me that | 12:05 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: i told you 3 times how to use the ubuntu-nvidia driver with gui install. | 12:05 |
| Tom1 | Guest92494: u have to use sudo apt-get install to install any drivers and softwares. it different than from windows where u click on exe files. | 12:06 |
| Guest92494 | k1 an tom you talk at once and i cant make any sense of what you say | 12:06 |
| Aeo_ | Guest92494: the only non apt-get way is using .deb packages | 12:06 |
| k1l_ | Guest92494: but you just keep saying how cool you are and how much you know about running as root. that is not the right channel for this behaviour. stop asking if you dont want to hear answers | 12:06 |
| Aeo_ | which is funtionally the same | 12:06 |
| Aeo_ | you want to run as root? DONT Guest92494 | 12:07 |
| Tom1 | Guest92494: i mean in ubuntu sudo command works like a backbone, for installing any software or driver u have to use them, just type "sudo apt-get install urpackage name" | 12:07 |
| Aeo_ | Guest92494: sudo is root only for that command | 12:08 |
| Aeo_ | hey Tom1 k1l_ do you guys have any idea how to mount a cifs share in fstab, with uid and gid are provided by AD | 12:09 |
| Tom1 | Aeo: no idea about that. | 12:09 |
| Tom1 | sorry | 12:09 |
| Ben64 | Aeo_: uid and gid provided by AD? whats AD? | 12:10 |
| Aeo_ | Active directory auth against samba Ben64 | 12:11 |
| Ben64 | ooh, sorry i don't know | 12:11 |
| solsTiCe | I had laptop-mode enable and active and after a few sleep mode I was able to plugin my phone ans it was recharging fine so there was some power flowing on BUT I was unable to mount thephone as usb device to look at files | 12:11 |
| Tom1 | Ben64:can i boot mint 14 nadia xfce on a windows 8 laptop which has UEFI ? | 12:12 |
| Ben64 | Aeo_: normal cifs is like --- "//192.168.1.1/Share /mnt/share cifs user=username,pass=password,uid=1000,_netdev 0 0" | 12:12 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: dunno, we don't support mint in this channel | 12:12 |
| Seveas | Aeo_: check the section'CIFS/NTFS ACL, SID/UID/GID MAPPING, SECURITY DESCRIPTORS | 12:12 |
| Seveas | Aeo_: check the section 'CIFS/NTFS ACL, SID/UID/GID MAPPING, SECURITY DESCRIPTORS' in the mount.cifs manpage | 12:12 |
| Tom1 | Ben64: sorry for the typing mistake . i mean ubuntu? | 12:12 |
| Seveas | you'll need winbind and you need to use it via nss | 12:13 |
| Tom1 | Aeo:which distro are you using? | 12:13 |
| Ben64 | Tom1: somehow i doubt that is a typo | 12:13 |
| Tom1 | Ben64: u got me, | 12:13 |
| Tom1 | just asking | 12:13 |
| Seveas | !mint | 12:13 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 12:13 |
| Aeo_ | Tom1: Ubuntu obv, Seveas Ben64 the uid and gid cant be absolute values, they have to be shareuser cause gid and uid might change due to new ad usersand reorgs | 12:14 |
| Tom1 | Aeo: are you running as root? | 12:14 |
| Seveas | Aeo_: that's why you use winbind and proper options to mount.cifs. I have never done this myself, but know it is possible. | 12:15 |
| Aeo_ | Tom1: i can create files when running as sudo, not otherwise. The user has perms to access the share | 12:15 |
| Aeo_ | Seveas: i am using winbind | 12:15 |
| Tom1 | Aeo_: ur indents shows that ur running as root? | 12:15 |

| Aeo_ | Tom1: sadly, yes it is | 12:19 |
| Tom1 | K1l_: i had some technical issues with ubuntu, but i also wanted to know some new things regarding irc and about running as root. | 12:20 |
| arcsky | anyone know a cli tool for checking if my hdd feels ok? | 12:20 |
| Tom1 | arcsky:fsc can help you. | 12:20 |
| k1l_ | Tom1: you still run as root. stop that irc program and dont start it as root again | 12:20 |
| Tom1 | fsck i mean | 12:20 |
| k1l_ | !smart | arcsky | 12:21 |
| ubottu | arcsky: smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 12:21 |
| Tom1 | K1l_: get gnome hdd tools to check your harddisks condition. | 12:22 |

| JaneSmith | hello, how can i make the sudo remain activated on one terminal instance (not request the passwd every n minutes)? | 13:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | JaneSmith: you don't that's a security risk | 13:25 |
| Joostt | Hello. I have my own dedicated server and an always on ubuntu machine at my home. My home has a static ip. I am looking for reliable software that could backup my dedicated server to my home. | 13:26 |
| Joostt | Can anyone point me in the right direction? | 13:26 |
| JaneSmith | hitsujiTMO i decide how i manage 'risks' can you please point me to the configuration file where i could set that option? | 13:27 |
| hitsujiTMO | Joostt: man rsync && man cron | 13:27 |
| k1l_ | JaneSmith: i dont think you can do that for one terminal. you could deactivate sudo pw for one user or make the timeframe longer until next pw is needed. but i think the presets are quite good mix of security and lazyness | 13:27 |
| === dithpri is now known as Guest93426 | ||
| JaneSmith | i don't want to deactivate it at user level, that is a risk i won't take | 13:28 |
| hitsujiTMO | JaneSmith: you would need to set the timestamp in the sudoers file | 13:28 |
| k1l_ | JaneSmith: as i said: i dont think that is possible for only one terminal | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | yeah, you can't do that for only one terminal | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | JaneSmith: what exactly are you trying to do? | 13:29 |
| k1l_ | JaneSmith: that sounds like a workaround for another problem. maybe there is another way for a solution | 13:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | JaneSmith: man sudoers look at the timestamp_timeout ... """ This can be used to allow users to create or delete their own time stamps via “sudo -v” and “sudo -k” respectively.""" | 13:30 |
| JaneSmith | hitsujiTMO thx, i'll look at that now | 13:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | JaneSmith: why would you want to modify the timestamp tho? | 13:31 |
| gordonjcp | JaneSmith: having a terminal logged in as root is pretty much always the wrong way to do stuff | 13:36 |

| hitsujiTMO | !latest | akima | 14:04 |
| ubottu | akima: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 14:04 |
| Akima | hitsujiTMO: There's quite a few security vulnerabilities fixed in v27.0. https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html | 14:05 |
| Akima | I was suprised to just apt-get update and not have the latest available. Canonical have been providing the latest Firefox version for a while now to Ubuntu 12.04 | 14:07 |

| someHuman | I believe I am running the free driver, I'd like to use my graphic card to it's full potential. | 14:54 |
| someHuman | Yes, I like better graphics. | 14:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | someHuman: what gpu do you have? | 14:55 |

| moises | someHuman, in amd site | 14:57 |
| someHuman | Yeah am already actually upgrading my system because I got the Raring copy. | 14:57 |
| moises | there are a device driver for your video card | 14:58 |
| k1l_ | moises: nope. dont load stuff from websites when there is the ubuntu repo | 14:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | someHuman: also the open drivers are better than the closed drivers for ati cards for most things | 14:58 |
| someHuman | hitsujiTMO: Why? | 14:58 |
| someHuman | i just want better graphics lol. | 14:58 |
| moises | k1l_, i prefer to download the driver from amd site | 14:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | someHuman: 2d acceleration sucks in the fglrx driver | 14:58 |
| mapps | hi folks | 14:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | moises: doing so is unsupported | 14:59 |
| k1l_ | someHuman: the manufacturers dont give that good drivers for linux as for windows. the free driver is quite good for amd, acutally | 14:59 |
| someHuman | For example I play Dota 2 in Steam, it has sucky graphics and whenever I propritary it's better but it screws up my system such as not being able to show atleast the sidebar menu. | 14:59 |
| moises | diablo 3 (in my computer) runs better with propietary driver | 14:59 |
| k1l_ | moises: you prefer it, right. but the official ubuntu way is to use the ubuntu driver. | 14:59 |
| mapps | im struggling with squidguard - if i install from source it installs squid3 although i already have squid on - is it possible to install from a repo - some kind of depenency? | 14:59 |
| moises | ok k1l_ | 14:59 |
| someHuman | Hmm | 14:59 |
| someHuman | Have anyone used Manjaro here? | 14:59 |
| someHuman | That showcases a decent graphics for Dota 2. | 15:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | moises: i said "most" things work better. not everything | 15:00 |
| someHuman | If I am to use free driver I'd like to atleast have the same quality as of that from Manjaro. | 15:00 |
| moises | hitsujiTMO yes :) | 15:00 |
| k1l_ | someHuman: first get the 13.10 upgrade. then you can install the fglrx package which brings you the amd driver from ubuntu support | 15:01 |
| hitsujiTMO | someHuman: manjaro isn't supported here. its just another flavour of linux. You'll get similar experience in ubuntu | 15:01 |

| Bombo | hitsujiTMO: about nvidia? | 15:18 |
| loa | my system is so stable >< | 15:18 |
| mib_mib | hi guys - when i use 'top' and sort by memory usage, it shows mysql is using 5.5% of memory, another process is using .7 %, and then a lot of 0%'s of memory - however, when i look at the Mem: it looks like Mem: 132005748k total, 59753076k used, 72252672k free - do i have more free than this actually? or why does it show so much is used | 15:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bombo: your system was mounted readonly for a reason. may have issues with a failing hdd. syslog or dmesg will contain info about such an issue if it is the case | 15:19 |

| newb | hitsujiTMO, I have Ubuntu-13.10 desktop amd 64. I am trying ubunto after having tried xumbutu. While I was successful booting to Xumbutu without any graphics problems, I could not get the internet connection to work. I tried both the Lan cable and wireless connection without success. I am hopeful ubuntu will enable me to connect to the internet. | 15:20 |
| loa | look at output of command # free | 15:20 |
| mib_mib | loa: but thats under the 'swap' row | 15:20 |
| hitsujiTMO | Seveas: ahh sorry :P | 15:20 |
| Bombo | hitsujiTMO: nope, probably just because it freezes when nvidia module is loaded/x is started, nothing works then, just hardware reboot button | 15:20 |
| mijk | hi | 15:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | Bombo: ahh kk, you should be fine then | 15:21 |
| loa | mib_mib, it is not swap row, you have problems with output ) | 15:21 |

| mapps | spearhead, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6897761/ thats qwhat i get now - installing squidguards from the repos | 15:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | Spindel: restricting sftp would have to be done in the sshd config | 15:47 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: could it be that my hardware is just not right for linux? Or is it more likely that I just need to configure linux correctly for my hardware? | 15:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: depends. what hardware do you have? | 15:48 |
| Spindel | hitsujiTMO: Sure... So changing to mysql shell and restrict in sftp it will be no security concerns after that? | 15:48 |
| Spindel | hitsujiTMO: he will only access mysql? | 15:48 |
| mapps | i installed from source and couldnt get it to work it failed when running squidguard -c all so i went to the repos and im getting stuck with that | 15:49 |

| TJ- | mapps: spearhead There's a bug in the update-squidguard post-install script; fixed in Debian/Trusty | 15:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | !java | lusy | 15:55 |
| ubottu | lusy: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 15:55 |

| mapps | with a bit of guidance possibly | 16:01 |
| mapps | check the post install file? then look for the script? | 16:01 |
| spearhead | someHuman, to get it to run a specific program you just type the program name where he puts in his script | 16:01 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: again, nothing... when I type these commands there is no output and the command prompt refreshes. | 16:02 |
| mapps | TJ-, is that what i need to do - you got a link with more details abou the bug or anything so i could read it the bug info and maybe fix it here | 16:03 |

| someHuman | Loo | 16:03 |
| someHuman | Lol* | 16:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: ok. gonna need the complete output of: lspci -knn you can dump it to a file with: lspci -knn > ~/lspci also do: lsusb > ~/lsusb then copy those to a usb and pastebin it from another machine if you can | 16:04 |
| z0ran | astroduck: i dont think you can recover them | 16:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | astroduck: you'd have to use photorec or similar software | 16:05 |

| someHuman | I have bad experience with Compiz :( | 16:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: ~ is the home directory so it should be in your home | 16:14 |
| TJ- | mapps: OK, that's interesting, I knew it was launched from the postinst script, but didn't realise it was a part of the full package rather than a debian package script | 16:15 |
| someHuman | It messes up on how my OS looks like my experience before with Manjaro XFCE. | 16:15 |

| mapps | so i take it i need to open up the script and look at where it does chown - also looking at /var/lib/dpkg/info/squidguard.postinst? | 16:16 |
| TJ- | mapps: you can read it more easily now. If you do "less /usr/sbin/update-squidguard" I'll guide you to see the bug, then we can figure out the best way to work around it depending on whats on your system | 16:16 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: How do I access the home and copy the file to USB? I am so new I do not know the most basic tasks. I sure do appreciate your help. Thank you.

| someHuman | spearhead Cool thanks man! ;) | 16:17 |
| mapps | TJ you here for a bit? gotta cook some food - got work in a bit :( | 16:17 |
| TJ- | mapps: Once you're in the 'less' viewer you can search using regular expressions. Type "/DATADIR" and press Enter | 16:17 |
| TJ- | mapps: The problem is the variable DATADIR isn't being set by the line DATADIR=$(grep ^dbhome ${CONFDIR}/${CONFFILE} | cut -d' ' -f2) | 16:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: insert the usb. type lsblk to find which device it is. most likely the partition for it is /dev/sdb1 then mount it: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt then copy over the file: cp ~/lspci /mnt then unmount: sudo umount /mnt | 16:18 |
| someHuman | Where do I find executables? | 16:18 |
| someHuman | spearhead Where do I find exectuables? | 16:18 |
| TJ- | mapps: That line is expanded to "DATADIR=$(grep ^dbhome /etc/squidguard/squidGuard.conf | cut -d' ' -f2)" | 16:19 |
| TJ- | mapps: So, you need to check "/etc/squidguard/squidGuard.conf" for a line beginning "dbhome" ... if that is missing, or is incomplete, DATADIR won't be assigned a value, causing a failure later doing "chown -R proxy:proxy ${DATADIR}" | 16:20 |
| mapps | yea | 16:20 |
| mapps | i see a line of dbhome | 16:20 |
| TJ- | mapps: notice the grep is followed by a "cut" of the 2nd field, with spaces as separators. What does that line look like? | 16:21 |
| mapps | sec | 16:21 |
| TJ- | mapps: If the 2nd field is missing, or spaces aren't used, that would explain the fault | 16:21 |
| mapps | dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db | 16:21 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: upon mounting a few different usb sticks, I get hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on part 1. | 16:22 |

| hitsujiTMO | newb: and you've tried different ports? | 16:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | prasanna: 13.04 is end of life and unsupported | 16:24 |
| TJ- | mapps: There's a leading space, which causes the assignment to be "dbhome" not "/usr/local/squidGuard/db" ... also, if that leading-space is only in your typing, then "/usr/local/squidGuard" suggests you've built a local package outside of the package management, which you haven't completely uninstalled - which is causing the Debian package to fail | 16:26 |

| agd | Spindel: you're f*cked, dude. | 16:33 |
| Spindel | agd: But why did it kill my ssh? | 16:33 |
| agd | Spindel: you got one option; make a backup and then, format. | 16:33 |
| someHuman | What's the best way to make my Ubuntu safe and secure? | 16:33 |
| agd | someHuman: you're never secure. | 16:33 |
| agd | someHuman: you'll always be owned. | 16:33 |
| someHuman | :( | 16:33 |
| agd | someHuman: but... | 16:33 |
| agd | someHuman: you may use selinux. | 16:33 |
| someHuman | Yes, but... | 16:33 |
| agd | someHuman: it'll keep the least amount of hackers away. | 16:34 |
| spearhead | someHuman, ok, are you trying to get rid of the unity dash? or just your icons on the desktop? | 16:34 |
| someHuman | Yes | 16:34 |
| someHuman | I don't want the sidebar haha! | 16:34 |
| agd | haha! | 16:34 |
| someHuman | Hmm, just curious, why did you guys opted for Ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| spearhead | someHuman, have you looked into using a different window manager such as gnome or kde? | 16:35 |
| agd | someHuman: aren't sidebars silly? | 16:35 |
| Aeo_ | someHuman: GnomeDo is an application launcher. You hit a hotkey sequence, and type some characters that are inn the app name, hiit enter and launches | 16:35 |
| agd | they are just as silly as spearhead getting laid. | 16:35 |
| ROODAY | is this a place to ask for ubuntu help? | 16:35 |
| agd | (sorry to offend ya there, spearhead) | 16:35 |
| someHuman | ROODAY: Sure is! | 16:35 |
| Aeo_ | someHuman: eg, i ht ctrl+space, type chr and hit enter, and chrome loads | 16:35 |
| agd | Aeo_: well that is somewhat confusing as GnomeDo usually gives you segfaults. | 16:35 |
| ROODAY | ok | 16:35 |
| agd | ROODAY: ok | 16:35 |
| ROODAY | I just shrank my win7 partition | 16:35 |
| ROODAY | but | 16:35 |
| spearhead | agd, the problem with that statement is that I probably get laid more than you do... :P | 16:35 |
| agd | daaaaaaamn | 16:35 |
| ROODAY | do i have to make a partition in goarted | 16:35 |
| someHuman | Aeo_: Ah that's a nice app. | 16:35 |
| agd | well, who cares about win7 anyway? | 16:35 |
| ROODAY | or does it do so in the isntall of ubuntu? | 16:36 |
| agd | ROODAY: do you care about win7? | 16:36 |
| ROODAY | yes im setting up multiboot | 16:36 |
| ROODAY | steamos/win7/ubuntu | 16:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Spindel: your provider should have a recovery iso that you can use to fix it | 16:36 |
| agd | steamos is for gay fags | 16:36 |
| agd | are you gay, ROODAY | 16:36 |
| someHuman | Hmmm | 16:36 |
| ROODAY | i made some free space on my hdd, i just want to know if i have to create partitions now or if the installer will make the partitions? | 16:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | !ot | agd enough of the messing | 16:37 |
| ubottu | agd enough of the messing: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 16:37 |
| tweakdeveloper | Have you already installed SteamOS? | 16:37 |
| someHuman | How do I know what DE am using? | 16:37 |
| ROODAY | i havent installed anything yet | 16:37 |
| ROODAY | my laptop is currently in the live cd | 16:37 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I get identical output no matter what usb 2.0 port I use. The motherboard has two usb 3.0 ports. One of those ports has the usb stick with ubuntu on it. The other of those ports has my mouse connected to it. I removed the mouse and mounted the usb stick and I got the following on screen output: No caching mode page found. Assuming drive cache: write through. | 16:38 |
| ROODAY | and im shrinking the win7 partition to get some free space for ubuntu and steam os | 16:38 |
| spearhead | someHuman, the default that comes with ubuntu is unity, unless you have installed something else then you are using unity | 16:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | ROODAY: the installer will detecy the free space and make partitions for you | 16:38 |
| someHuman | Nah fosho am using Unity. | 16:38 |
| Spindel | hitsujiTMO: Yeah, I will contact them | 16:38 |
| someHuman | But how do I know my DE though? | 16:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | Spindel: ity should be available from your control panel | 16:38 |
| ROODAY | it will make the swap as well? will it also let me choose partition sizes? i want to make sure there is a shared fat32 partition between all Os's | 16:39 |
| tweakdeveloper | ROODAY: For a setup like yours, you'll probably need to manually create an Ubuntu root and swap partition and leave free space for a SteamOS root. | 16:39 |
| ROODAY | so do it now through gparted, or do it through the manual part of the ubuntu installation? | 16:39 |
| spearhead | someHuman, i am pretty sure ubuntu now comes with lightde | 16:39 |
| spearhead | someHuman, I will look into it though.. | 16:39 |
| tweakdeveloper | I've always done it with the Ubuntu installer's manual option, but you could do it with Gparted. | 16:40 |
| ROODAY | ok ill do it through the installer then, i feel it will guide me better | 16:40 |
| spearhead | someHuman, sorry it is lightdm or light desktop manager | 16:40 |
| prasanna | how to check my hard disk health in ubuntu...because when i using ubuntu sometime i hear noise..but when using win 7 nothing.... | 16:40 |
| ROODAY | will it say what partition type is needed for the swap and root? i don't know what they should be | 16:40 |
| tweakdeveloper | Yeah, it's much more streamlined creating partitions as part of a process than beforehand. | 16:40 |
| spearhead | *display | 16:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: thats a normal message. | 16:41 |
| tweakdeveloper | For Linux, the de facto standard filesystem for root is ext4. For swap, just choose "swap space" from the options. | 16:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: mount it away and copy over the files | 16:41 |
| someHuman | spearhead So..... | 16:42 |
| ROODAY | ok thanks! | 16:42 |
| someHuman | spearhead How's it? | 16:42 |
| tweakdeveloper | Glad to help :) | 16:42 |
| someHuman | spearhead Gotta cook, cya later! ;) | 16:43 |
| spearhead | someHuman, unity is the de (desktop environment) if you want to try gnome logout and log back in using ubuntu GNOME DE | 16:43 |
| ROODAY | hopefully i dont screw anything up lol | 16:43 |
| tweakdeveloper | As long as you don't delete the Windows partitions and have a backup, you should be fine. | 16:44 |

| ROODAY | I have just one last question i forgot to ask | 16:50 |
| estudiante | analia zeballo | 16:50 |
| ROODAY | should the partitions for swap and root be logical or primary? | 16:50 |
| ROODAY | ? | 16:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | ROODAY: what partition table do you have mbr? | 16:52 |
| ROODAY | what does that mean? | 16:52 |
| kutulal | hello everyone | 16:52 |
| ROODAY | mbr? | 16:52 |
| kutulal | I am getting this error while downloading mails from Gmail | 16:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | ROODAY: ok if you're asking " logical or primary" and you are installing 3 OS's, then the answer is logical | 16:53 |
| kutulal | procmail: Couldn't create "/var/mail/kutu-ubuntu"fetchmail: MDA returned nonzero status 73 | 16:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | ROODAY: you can only have up to 4 primary partitions on an mbr/msdos partition table | 16:53 |
| ROODAY | so for the swap and the roots for both OS's should be logical, and leave the ones that are primary as primary? | 16:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | ROODAY: yup | 16:54 |
| ROODAY | ok thanks! | 16:54 |
| kutulal | please help! | 16:54 |

| Danith | umm.. hello | 16:58 |
| Danith | can anyone give me a quick how to on finding what package installed some files? | 16:58 |
| Danith | fromthe command line | 16:59 |
| Danith | I'm trying to remove vmci, vsock, vmxnet3, pvscsi, vmmemctl | 16:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 17:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: vmxnet3 is a driver. infact, i'd guess they are all drivers. | 17:01 |
| Danith | they are, I'm trying to remove what ever is included in a base install and install the ones from the guest tools cd | 17:02 |
| thepiratetrader | So I've got a bit of a problem. I don't think it's necessarily ubuntu, but more drive related. I've got a 32gb drive. When I do "watch lsusb" and plug it in, it shows up, but doesn't look right, then dissapears after 5-10 seconds. | 17:04 |
| thepiratetrader | Any ideas? | 17:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: they're in ther kernel. so removing them would be difficult. what virtualisation solution is it? esxi? | 17:04 |
| thepiratetrader | dmesg says unable to assign something rather error -62. It recognzies that it is a usb storage unate. | 17:04 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: How do I mount it exactly? I thought mounting it meant plugging it into the port. | 17:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: use lsblk to foind the device node (prob /dev/sdb1) then: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt that will mount it to /mnt | 17:05 |
| paul` | I'm in stuck emacs how change channel? I find the interface kinda foreign, sorry people. Yet enjoying my first hand experience so far. | 17:07 |
| Danith | esxi | 17:07 |
| Danith | I can use the clobber option to have the install overwrite them | 17:07 |
| Danith | I just thought they were put in by a ubuntu package and didn't want to mess that up | 17:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: what kernel are you using: uname -r | 17:08 |
| BlueShark | How to correctly check if port 80 is open and any services are using that port? | 17:09 |
| BlueShark | I'm getting this error when I try to restart apache2: "(98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80" - What could be the reason? | 17:10 |
| OerHeks | lsof -i :<portnumber> | 17:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | BlueShark: or sudo netstat -plnt | grep ':80' | 17:11 |
| USBman | Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu on to an 8GB USB stick, but it keeps giving me a bunch of errors at different points. If I try a very basic install, no encryption, it tells me "You need to make this partition bigger than the amount below / 3.2 GB" Which when I open the partition manager, it shows that the install program only allocated it 2.4 GB... | 17:11 |
| OerHeks | could be your host interferring | 17:11 |
| BlueShark | OerHeks, Tried that already and it outputs nothing | 17:12 |
| USBman | I started with 7.7GB of unallocated space. | 17:12 |
| BlueShark | hitsujiTMO, okay, that doesn't output anything either. I changed 80 to a different port number and it outputs results. | 17:12 |
| BlueShark | OerHeks, "host interfering" - Could you explain? I recently upgraded my Ubuntu version to 13.10 and this problem started after doing so. | 17:13 |
| Danith | hitsujiTMO - 3.11.0-12-generic | 17:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | BlueShark: maybe its trying to bind to ipv6 and you dont have ipv6 running? | 17:14 |
| Danith | I'm used to compiling my own kernel and not having anything in there I don't want :) | 17:14 |
| BlueShark | hitsujiTMO, How do I check what it's binding to? | 17:14 |
| Danith | not a big deal, I'll just clobber them | 17:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: the esxi tools modules wont compile on that kernel. the kernel also has newer drivers so you're better off with the kernel drivers | 17:14 |
| * Danith smashes | 17:14 | |
| Danith | o rly | 17:14 |
| someHuman | Chromium or Firefox? | 17:15 |
| Danith | I don't like the (3rd party tool) listed ;) | 17:15 |
| Danith | I'll just leave it | 17:15 |
| Danith | welp | 17:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: esxi tools modules wont compile with kernels > 3.2 | 17:15 |
| Danith | whaaat | 17:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | Danith: vmware actually suggest using the open vm tools in the repo | 17:15 |
| Danith | :O | 17:15 |
| Danith | well ok | 17:16 |
| BlueShark | hitsujiTMO, I've checked my ports.conf and it only has "Listen 80", which, according to the documentation page "makes the server accept connections on both port 80 on ALL interfaces"." | 17:16 |
| BlueShark | !poll | someHuman | 17:17 |

| === ashish is now known as Guest44277 | ||
| TJ- | mapps: What you showed here had a leading space, that would cause the assignment to be "dbhome" not "/usr/local/squidGuard/db" ... also, if that leading-space is only in your typing, then "/usr/local/squidGuard" suggests you've built a local package outside of the package management, which you haven't completely uninstalled - which is causing the Debian package to fail | 17:33 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: never mind, I see it. | 17:34 |

| mapps | yea i did type it i think | 17:34 |
| mapps | because | 17:34 |

I see a lot of people with the same issue. I don't have access to the fault laptop anymore (was helping a friend). Just wanted to drop that as a note here. also, is it "safe" to remove them manually as suggested in the last post here: | 17:35 |

| hitsujiTMO | yacc: memtest ofc | 17:35 |
| TJ- | mapps: OK... so if the space doesn't exist in the config file we move onto the "/usr/local/squidGuard" path ... I'm thinking you'd be best simply purging everything for that package including the config files, and starting clean | 17:35 |

| mapps | ok apt-get remove squid3 squidguard ? | 17:35 |
| bazhang | !pae | Tom | 17:35 |
| ubottu | Tom: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 17:35 |
| PeterCassetta | Hi, does anyone know how to change the default selected menu entry (Grub2) | 17:36 |
| mapps | i think it was a space!! | 17:36 |
| yacc | hitsujiTMO: a kernel compile loop sounds so 90-ish for testing system integrity. | 17:36 |
| bazhang | thats out of date | 17:36 |
| TJ- | mapps: I *think* this should purge it, but it might fail since the package isn't fully configured yet. "sudo apt-get purge squidguard" | 17:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | impaktor_: yes you've a LOT of kernel header packages so you can safely remove the old ones | 17:36 |
| whoever | newb: you may have a bad burn of the disk | 17:36 |

| TJ- | Tom: PAE allows a 32-bit kernel to access more than 4GB of address-space, and is standard on all recent Ubuntu kernels | 17:37 |
| mapps | so i was an idiot and added q white space i think | 17:37 |
| p_2v71 | it says "grep: Trailing backslash" | 17:37 |
| newb | whoever: I used lili live usb creator to setup the ubuntu | 17:37 |

| whoever | newb: the live version will be extreemly slow and you may experience what your are experiencing, your best bet is to install it | 17:37 |

| mapps | ok:D | 17:38 |
| Tom | TJ: which kernel is better, i mean which kernel will boot on any computer pae one or non pae kernel? | 17:38 |
| whoever | newb: i would still install it vs running the live version | 17:38 |
| mapps | the real test is if squidguard -c ALL works ( when I compiled by source i was getting an error about DB->put method) then when using repos it just seemed to hang ..fingers crossed else im still stiumped!! | 17:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | PeterCassetta: GRUB_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub | 17:38 |
| TJ- | Tom: Both will boot ... the PAE will access more than 4GB of address space, which helps if the PC has more than 4GB of RAM | 17:39 |

Now when I try to login the screen blanks out and throws me back to the login screen. The gues user can login fine into Unity. I have opened a bare shell and I have tried a ton of different things I've found posted but nothing helped. Any ideas would be most welcome! | 17:41 |
| PeterCassetta | hitsujiTMO: Cool, thanks for the assistance. | 17:41 |
| whoever | newb: why not | 17:41 |
| whoever | newb: running live iso is an extreemly slow process, and you are likly to incounter errors | 17:42 |
| newb | whoever: While I have a hard drive that I could use, I have no sata cables to connect it. I would have to leave the house, go buy the cables, come back, and do the hard drive installation. There is no hard drive, because the guide I used to setup this machine said it was not necessary. This is the first machine I've ever assembled and this is the first time I'm using linux./ | 17:42 |
| Tom | TJ: can i boot a 32 bit linux distro in a uefi machine? | 17:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Tom: no. linux uefi requires 64bit kernel | 17:43 |
| whoever | newb: sounds like you got yourself in a pickle here | 17:43 |
| TJ- | Tom: Only in compatibility mode | 17:43 |
| Tom | you sure? | 17:43 |
| Tom | TJ: what is the compatibility mode? | 17:43 |
| TJ- | Tom: UEFI requires a disk with GPT partitioning and an EFI boot-loader. UEFI firmwares usually have a CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to allow booting from legacy MBR | 17:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | p_2v71: try again. you may have mistyped it: lspci -nn | grep Ethernet | grep -o '\[....:....\]' | 17:44 |
| newb | whoever: the original guide I read made it sound pretty easy. the guide said nothing about encountering internet connectivity issues in xubuntu. | 17:45 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6898449/ | 17:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: once you | 17:45 |
| Guest93373 | heyyeah!!! i'm a noob here... | 17:45 |
| Tom | TJ: that means we can boot a 32 bit os in it? i have a 32 bit Ubuntu. | 17:45 |
| === hugo is now known as Guest16786 | ||
| TJ- | Tom: Yes, if the UEFI is set to boot in legacy mode | 17:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: oh dear god a 8186 :( | 17:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: a 8186 even :( | 17:46 |
| Tom | TJ: the legacy can boot a 32 it os right? does all uefi machines have this legacy mode? | 17:46 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: That is, apparently, not good. | 17:46 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: Or even an 8168 :) | 17:46 |
| chaotix | huston we have a problem, | 17:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb no its not. | 17:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: bah :P | 17:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: whats the output of: uname -r | 17:47 |
| Tom | it gives u ur kernel version. | 17:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: you said this was 13.10 right? | 17:47 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: output is 3.11.0-12-generic | 17:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: ubuntu 13.10 right? | 17:49 |
| chaotix | so i ran the Software Updater this morning, and it crashed mid update, and then i could not get it to restart, and things kept crashing, so i tried logging out, but instead of a log in screen i just got a black screen with a blinking "_" cursor, so i cold boot, and select ubuntu from the grub, and then after the plymouth boot screen all that loads again is the blinking cursor | 17:49 |
| chaotix | so i have loaded up windows now | 17:49 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: That is right. | 17:49 |
| chaotix | do i have any options other than re install? | 17:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: give me a 15 mins to prepare soemthing | 17:49 |
| Guest93373 | how can i start hotspot on ubuntu | 17:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: 32bit or 64bit? | 17:49 |
| Guest93373 | 64bit | 17:50 |
| whoever | hitsujiTMO: what cpu is he using | 17:50 |
| Danith | oh ya, this is why I didn't want to use the openvm tools | 17:50 |
| Danith | vmw_vsock_vmci_transport: Unknown symbol __vsock_create (err 0) | 17:50 |
| Danith | bunch of errors like that in dmesg | 17:50 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: 64 bit. Thank you for the preparation. Do you have any confidence that I will be online using the internet anytime today or in the next month, for that matter? | 17:50 |
| p_2v71 | I had an extra space - output is [1002:4342] and [1186:1300] | 17:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: not sure. the driver for that card is really awful | 17:50 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: Perhaps it is helpful to know that I am trying to mine litecoin with this machine. I had read that this GPU and the xumbutu setup was ideal. I spent $2200 on all this equipment. | 17:51 |
| whoever | a hotspot , you mean connecto to a wireless router ? | 17:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: you can go even lighter than xubuntu | 17:52 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I started using this guide: http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/04/build-a-litecoin-mining-rig-linux/ | 17:53 |
| whoever | newb: 2200 what are you tring to do | 17:53 |
| arez | ciao | 17:54 |
| whoever | newb: to me it sounds like your tring to make some sort of a headless server . are you? | 17:54 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: Here is a picture of the machine we are trying to configure and get connected to the internet: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/b7qwFrc6_0dR44Mlk3vTA-GnhHo0s5jL895CZbFMQ0U?feat=directlink | 17:54 |
| Danith | oh well.. stuff on the interweb is sparse on those errors | 17:54 |
| p_2v71 | I had an extra space - output is [1002:4342] and [1186:1300] | 17:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: hehe good old milk crate rig | 17:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | p_2v71: looking them up atm. they both seem very obscure | 17:55 |
| newb | whoever: I don't know what a headless server is, so I'm not sure. I'm trying to get this connected to the internet so I can run cgminer. I've been aware of cryptocurrencies for two years but really started to read up on them in November. | 17:56 |
| Danith | headless means no monitor/graphicscard/keyboard mainly | 17:56 |
| Tom | hitsujiTMO: can we boot a 32 bit os in uefi machine using legacy mode? | 17:56 |
| Danith | connect and manage it through ssh or whatever | 17:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | Tom: yes. legacy mode disables uefi | 17:57 |
| newb | whoever: I've successfully mined some litecoin with a desktop computer with an old GPU, but my kh/s was no greater than 35. With this machine I hope to get to 2000 or more. | 17:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | Tom: but you will get much better performance on a 64bit install | 17:57 |
| ignacio|her | Why now | 17:57 |
| ignacio|her | ubuntu 12.04 ask for 8.GB!? | 17:57 |
| ignacio|her | tHAT'S Impossible! | 17:57 |
| === ignacio|her is now known as ignacio|here | ||
| Tom | hitsujiTMO: that means if uefi is disabled and then a 32 bit os can be booted? | 17:58 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: You know the milk crate rig? Ever do this before? | 17:58 |
| p_2v71 | I had a hard time finding any info on it as well - I thing it was made in korea - I googled IDEQ 210A (the pc model) and didn't find much. | 17:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | Tom: yes | 17:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: no i've helped a few peeps who have | 17:58 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: so maybe there's hope! I thought I'd be mining coin by now! I am curious to see whatever it is you're preparing. | 17:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | p_2v71: is this an old machine. both cards seem to be pretty old and not propperly supported in modern kernels. like they're from the 2.4 kernel era | 17:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: need to get the build-essential debs for you so you can build your driver | 18:00 |
| p_2v71 | It is an old PC - I believe I bought it in 2004 or 5 | 18:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | p_2v71: the kernel driver "should" be built in, but i don't think it actually works. | 18:01 |
| Danith | ! | 18:01 |
| p_2v71 | so the randomly working a small portion of the time is probably normal because of the hardware age? | 18:02 |
| p_2v71 | for the NIC I mean | 18:03 |
| hitsujiTMO | p_2v71: because of the driver quality is how i'd phrase it | 18:03 |
| p_2v71 | Do you have any suggestions to make it work? I have downloaded the windows drivers for the NIC I installed in it. Can I use those somehow? | 18:04 |
| soee | hi, what package contains H.264 decoder ? | 18:04 |
| Oun_ | lo ppl | 18:04 |

| Oun_ | any ideas? | 18:06 |
| whoever | Oun_: did you restart networking | 18:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | p_2v71: nope. can't think of anyway to get it working. one thing i spotted mentioned adding the kernel param: acpi=off | 18:06 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 18:06 |
| whoever | aLeSD: hi | 18:06 |
| aLeSD | what's the package nvidia-update is needed for ? | 18:07 |
| p_2v71 | How would I do that? | 18:07 |
| whoever | aLeSD: maybe to update your nvidia | 18:07 |
| p_2v71 | btw - I'm new to IRC as well | 18:07 |
| hitsujiTMO | !nomodeset | p_2v71 check this out. instead of adding nomodeset add acpi=off | 18:07 |
| ubottu | p_2v71 check this out. instead of adding nomodeset add acpi=off: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:07 |
| p_2v71 | Thanks for the help hitsujiTMO | 18:08 |
| whoever | p_2v71: yoour on ubuntu and your using windows drivers that will not work | 18:08 |
| whoever | pipster: is your windows in a vm | 18:09 |
| whoever | pipster: oops wrong nic | 18:09 |
| Oun_ | whoever, restart networking? I guess so but not sure | 18:09 |
| Oun_ | can you tell me how | 18:09 |
| p_2v71 | No, I'm not. I asked if they could be used (thinking about the wrapper thing for windows drivers) | 18:09 |
| whoever | Oun_: sudo service networking restart | 18:10 |
| Oun_ | let me try | 18:10 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: ok. download this: http://download.hitsuji.eu/build.tar.gz | 18:10 |
| whoever | p_2v71: the only way you would use windows drivers is for tativly running windos | 18:10 |
| aLeSD | mmm ... why my cpu is to 100% when I play a mp4 video ? | 18:11 |
| Oun_ | ok done | 18:11 |
| Oun_ | still the same | 18:11 |
| hitsujiTMO | aLeSD: because you don't have any 2d gpu acceleration? | 18:11 |
| Oun_ | ifconfig shows me 2 lo | 18:11 |
| Oun_ | no wlan | 18:11 |
| whoever | Oun_: ok, with the dongle plugged in try rebooting and see if that works | 18:11 |
| aLeSD | hitsujiTMO, I have this 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 620 OEM] | 18:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | aLeSD: what are you using to playback the video? | 18:12 |
| aLeSD | I tried open-source and proprietary drives | 18:12 |
| aLeSD | hitsujiTMO, I tried with vlc and the default media player | 18:12 |
| hitsujiTMO | aLeSD: not sure then. what rsolution is the vid? | 18:13 |
| aLeSD | full HD | 18:13 |
| aLeSD | 60 FPS | 18:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | aLeSD: 60fps video??? | 18:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | aLeSD: that would certainly do it | 18:14 |
| aLeSD | hitsujiTMO, Yes . I recorded it with a goPRO | 18:14 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: getting it... then what? | 18:14 |
| Oun_ | WHOEVER: AFter reboot with dongle : ifconfig ( eth0 and lo ) iwconfig no wireless externsions | 18:14 |
| aLeSD | I try to install nvidia-update ... (however opensource drivers seems better) | 18:15 |
| hitsujiTMO | aLeSD: fhd @ 60fps takes a LOT of processing power | 18:15 |
| Oun_ | any more ideas» | 18:15 |
| Oun_ | ? | 18:15 |
| aLeSD | so I will revert to opensource drivers ... they seems smoother | 18:15 |

| TJ- | aLeSD: Are you playing it in a window, or full-screen. Because of the 3D composited desktop a window will have to be software-composited. Try using vlc to play it full-screen in video overlay mode | 18:16 |
| Oun_ | so no more ideas? | 18:16 |

| elee | bekks: sorry let me reword. lightdm appears to complete execution but does not appear to remove entry from the process table. I see that this occurs even after multiple reboots, leading me to believe that lightdm is shitting itself somehow | 18:57 |

| elee | bekks: no reason - I just want to check to see if lightdm has any reason to leave zombie processes. | 18:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: yup. ok: mkdir ~/debs; cd ~/debs; mv ~/install/build.tar.gz . | 18:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: then: tar xf build.tar.gz; sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 18:59 |

| bekks | elee: How do you identify the zombies? | 19:01 |
| nice_guy | END OF LIFE: means now i had to upgrade my system to get in working condition | 19:01 |
| elee | bekks: ubuntu warns me of zombie processes when I log in. that being said, a simple ps aux | grep Z works fine | 19:01 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys before i format, quickly how can I check if my system is a 64 bit or 32 bit? in a ubuntu command line? | 19:02 |
| TJ- | Psil0Cybin: "uname -m" tells you the current kernel architecture | 19:02 |
| genii | Psil0Cybin: uname -m | 19:02 |
| Jordan_U | elee: I assume that you mean that there are defunct children of a still running lightdm process, correct? (or are these zombies children of another process, and if so, which one?) | 19:03 |
| * genii slides TJ- the winning coffee | 19:03 | |
| TJ- | Psil0Cybin: "lscpu | grep Architecture" will tell you the actual CPU arch | 19:03 |
| OerHeks | lscpu is nice | 19:03 |
| BlueShark | How about getconf LONG_BIT | 19:04 |
| elee | Jordan_U: correct. command was lightdm. Status is noted as Z, command is [lightdm] <defunct> | 19:04 |
| Psil0Cybin | would i notice a big difference in using a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit system? | 19:04 |
| k1l_ | Psil0Cybin: there is no sense in running a 32bit OS when the hardware can work with 64bit | 19:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea it was just stupidness on my part :P | 19:05 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I need to work on my typing! See here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ati-X2U43buBt4zso2BnUeGnhHo0s5jL895CZbFMQ0U?feat=directlink Is it true to say that I should now use: mv ~/install/build.tar.gz . | 19:05 |
| TJ- | Psil0Cybin: 32-bit instructions are 1/2 the size of 64-bit in many cases, on a system with less than 3GB of RAM, 32-bit kernel/userspace is good. | 19:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: 32bit is slower. and can be noticable depending on the task | 19:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | alright | 19:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | thanks so im going to try and install a 64 bit system :P | 19:06 |
| elee | Psil0Cybin: if you don't have the memory (4GB+), then you can totally leave your OS alone. However, if you have more, you will be better off reinstalling. | 19:06 |
| TJ- | Psil0Cybin: However, I use a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel from USB sticks... the sticks also have the 32-bit kernels, which allows the USB to boot on any x86 CPU | 19:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | how can I backup my files in /home/ so i do not have to undo all the changes i did. | 19:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: ls | 19:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | elee: all i have is 4 GB in the O.S anyway | 19:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | Ram | 19:06 |
| elee | Psil0Cybin: if you have a separate usb or something, simply mount and mv * into the drive. | 19:06 |
| TheUnnamedDude | Hai, is it possible to disable the "stop" command? | 19:06 |
| hitsujiTMO | TheUnnamedDude: no | 19:07 |
| TJ- | Psil0Cybin: I'd create an LVM with a "home" LV, format it, and then copy the contents of "/home/" into it ... then later add that LV to the fstab of the new installation, mounted at /home/ | 19:07 |
| TheUnnamedDude | Dang, I always type that command in the wrong terminal window when trying to stop my test minecraft server :/ | 19:08 |
| Seveas | TheUnnamedDude: sure. But it's a horrible idea, as it breaks package installs and shutting down/rebooting | 19:08 |
| Seveas | TheUnnamedDude: if you just want to disable it in your shell, add this to your ~/.bashrc: alias stop='echo "No, you stop"' | 19:08 |

(I've been running the 32 bit and figured I'd bump up to the 64 bit anyway just haven't had a reason to make the time to do it) | 19:42 |

| mitchelwb | When I originally set it up, I didn't know what I was doing, and I've sorta just made the system keep working. But if I'm going to do a fresh install today, was wondering if there were any "guides" that you all would recommend that I could use to get the best install possible? | 19:43 |
| ROPA | k1l_ I agree that might be the case, but there is no ppa listed for ANY version of ubuntu....it's like boot-repair does not exist. If I tried to find boot-repair for 12.04...there is no entry either. | 19:43 |
| k1l_ | ROPA: that is a common problem for dev releases. so help yourself, you know its a dev release | 19:43 |
| daftykins | mitchelwb: not really, but a new long term support (LTS) release 14.04 will be out in April so it'd make more sense to use that | 19:44 |

| mitchelwb | I don't know if it's beyond repair, but I don't have a lot on my main drive that I need to keep. I honestly think it is probably easier to just dump and reinstall. | 19:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: ahh i see. yeah try rebooting then | 19:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb lets hope the persistence works | 19:46 |

| compdoc | in fact, if Windows adds drivers and adds it to its own device manager, I dont think you can add it to a VM | 20:02 |
| jhutchins | Oun_: You might check #vbox for help, I don't really think this is an Ubuntu issue, as it usually handles real hardware well. | 20:02 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: only think you can do is reboot and hope for the best. you'll need to get the gpu drivers in then to try and fix that issue | 20:02 |
| Oun_ | what i need from you guys, is the basic procedure to install drivers | 20:02 |
| jhutchins | Oun_: What about letting the host manage the wifi and just passing a bridged ethernet connection to the VM? | 20:02 |
| Oun_ | can yu provide some guide? | 20:02 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: We loaded the drivers, right? How can we tell if their permanent? I just have to reboot and hope for the best? | 20:03 |
| Oun_ | not sure if that works jhut | 20:03 |

| k1l_ | Oun_: your setup is not a regular ubuntu setup. so please make sure first that vbox is doing the right thing | 20:03 |
| jhutchins | Oun_: There's nothing special about installing the ath9k driver. | 20:03 |
| OerHeks | Oun_, edit network settings of your linux image in virtual box before starting virtual box image, wlan should be an option i quess | 20:03 |
| Oun_ | yea its not rocket science for sure:D | 20:04 |
| jhutchins | Oun_: I work with VMWare, which doesn't pass the actual hardware to the guest, it emulates either an e1000 or the native VMXNET. | 20:04 |
| Oun_ | hmmm Oerheks | 20:04 |
| Oun_ | thats the issue. i only have the eth0 and lo connections. no wlan | 20:05 |
| Oun_ | iwconfig shows no wireless extensions | 20:05 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: thats the network driver. need to do the gpu driver next. reboot and test if the network driver is persistent first | 20:06 |

| newb | hitsujiTMO: From ubuntu, I clicked cntl alt and f1. At command I typed ping google.com and the output read, unknown host. | 20:26 |

| newb | hitsujiTMO: I have lots of sticks laying around. The linux install is on a 64 gig stick. I had first tried an 8 gig stick and I was getting a message about unable to find a medium containing live file system. | 20:36 |
| Karmahac_ | bekks but user is not root | 20:37 |
| arshinov | hello there! | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: pop that stick in. we'll install a minimal system to it | 20:37 |
| bekks | mojtaba: It will stop when it is finished. | 20:37 |
| arshinov | whom I may ask to see if its worth installing ubuntu on my desktop pc? | 20:37 |

| bekks | Karmahac_: Thats why I said: sudo init 6 | 20:37 |
| mojtaba | bekks: Do you know why it is taking this long time? | 20:37 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: The downloads you had me running earlier were on the original 8 gig stick with the linux I couldn't get to run. I fear that I may have misidentified that stick as the one to be updating with all the commands you walked me through. | 20:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: actually. can you get the ubuntu-server iso | 20:37 |
| bekks | mojtaba: Because you a) have a lot of files and b) a possibly sloww backup storage. | 20:38 |
| Karmahac_ | bekks do it under root right ? | 20:38 |
| Oun2_ | ok back | 20:38 |
| Oun2_ | connection is on again | 20:38 |
| bekks | Karmahac_: No. Run: "sudo init 6" for rebooting a box as user. | 20:38 |

| newb | hitsujiTMO: I have lili usb creator and the ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64 image file. | 20:38 |
| bekks | !sudo | Karmahac_ | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Karmahac_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:38 |
| Karmahac_ | it is require root pass | 20:38 |
| bekks | Karmahac_: There is no root password in Ubuntu. | 20:39 |
| bekks | !root | Karmahac_ | 20:39 |
| ubottu | Karmahac_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | Karmahac_: thats your password it requires | 20:39 |
| arshinov | is clamav working on ubuntu? | 20:40 |
| bekks | Yes. | 20:40 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: If I recreate the ubuntu stick and increase the permanence, can we try the update again? | 20:41 |
| Karmahac_ | bekks im sorry but user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 20:41 |
| arshinov | thank you bekks | 20:41 |
| jhutchins | Given that a full installation of Linux typically runs less than 4G, I wonder why you would need a >8G USB drive to install it. | 20:41 |
| bekks | Karmahac_: Then your user has no privileges to use sudo. And this user is not allowed to reboot. | 20:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: i don't think its an issue with the size of the persistence | 20:41 |
| niolin | how can execute X application (such as xclock) as a different user? I opened xterm, and loggind as a different user using 'su seconduser'. Now, when I try running xclock, I am getting "Error: Can't open display: :0". I know there were alot of fixes for this issue when using ssh, but my case is a bit different. | 20:41 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: More than that, I think I was making the updates to the wrong stick... that old 8 gig that wouldn't work. | 20:42 |
| jhutchins | newb: Did you check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded? | 20:42 |
| newb | jhutchins: I have not checked it. | 20:42 |
| Karmahac_ | bekks then how could i allow him be able do only reboot ? | 20:42 |
| bekks | Karmahac_: Ask a user having sudo privileges to add allow it. | 20:43 |
| hitsujiTMO | Karmahac_: add that user to the sudoers file for the app: reboot | 20:43 |

| newb | hitsuhiTMO: Do you see what I mean? I put build.tar and r8168-8.037.00.tar on the 8 gig usb that wouldn't work. you had me perform a check on which usb to install to and I think that I selected the wrong one. | 20:44 |
| RaptorJesus | Many score! Such Emancipation | 20:44 |
| bekks | Karmahac_: Read what I just wrote to you please :) | 20:44 |

| newb | hitsujiTMO: okay, if I didn't install it to the correct place, why wouldn't it persist? | 20:45 |
| bekks | Karmahac_: Then reboot the server as another user. | 20:45 |

| epax | bekks, Is it possible to see in logs afterwords? This is not the first time it happend. | 20:57 |
| eaxxae | Shawn: you have to login to the printer and set a STATIC ip... what kind of network are you on ? home network, school, work ? | 20:57 |
| Seveas | epax: if your rootfilesystem goes read only, it has an error. Make a backup and run an fsck from the VPS console | 20:57 |
| bekks | epax: Check the logs then. | 20:57 |
| ShawnRisk | eaxxae: home | 20:57 |
| Seveas | ShawnRisk: depends on how your dhcp server works. On my adsl model I can configure fixed addresses for specific clients for instance. | 20:57 |
| Seveas | eaxxae: I would only do that if the dhcp server doesn't support static assignment (which most adsl/cable modems I know do) | 20:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | Karmahac_: try adding a line: <user> ALL=(ALL) /sbin/reboot | 20:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | Karmahac_: replacing <user> wuth the correct user | 20:58 |
| ShawnRisk | Why not make this read DHCP? | 20:59 |
| epax | Since the whole filesystem was in read only mode i can not se anything in /var/log/syslog since it has not write anything. | 21:00 |
| Seveas | because unless your dhcp server automatically populates a DNS zone, you cannot "read DHCP" | 21:00 |
| bekks | epax: thats why you need to use dmesg when it happens again. | 21:00 |

| epax | bekks, i know that now but ill rader not have any more issues regarding vps. I just thought if i can solve this problem before it happends again. | 21:03 |
| biffbaxter | the reality of a home network is that your modem probably has a /24 setup for a handful of devices. Either a reservation within the DHCP scope, or if the scope is only say 1-100 but you have a full /24 network you can pick a static above or below the scope as long as your on the same subnet | 21:03 |

| empireittech | Hello, new to Ubuntu and IRC | 21:24 |
| John_John_ | when ubuntu 12.04 reboots apache works but php doesnt. it needs manual apache restart. how can i solve this ? i have tried everything i found in google with no luck. please help me. | 21:24 |
| empireittech | do you have XAMPP set to auto-start on startup? | 21:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | ClaireMc: you need to be more specific about whats going on. what exactly is the command and path you are using? | 21:25 |
| John_John_ | i dont use xampp at all | 21:25 |
| zykotick9 | !xampp | empireittech | 21:25 |
| ubottu | empireittech: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 21:25 |
| John_John_ | i use LAMP stack | 21:25 |
| ClaireMc | Just simple cd and ls commands. | 21:25 |
| gfredericks | I have a wifi router that lets me plug in a usb drive and it presents it via samba; I can with no trouble or auth open this drive in nautilus, but am unable to figure out where it's mounted in the filesystem (for console access), or how to mount it if it isn't | 21:25 |
| John_John_ | any ideas ? | 21:26 |
| zykotick9 | gfredericks: check under ~/.gvfs | 21:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | ClaireMc: cd to where? what path are you in when you run the command? | 21:26 |
| empireittech | ah yea, my bad. LAMP/XAMPP, I meant the same thing. I'll remember that though, thanks | 21:27 |
| ClaireMc | It doesn't matter where in the path. I can't get out of root because the CLI says the path ie. directories don't exist. | 21:29 |
| ClaireMc | I was hoping someone here might have seen the problem before. | 21:30 |
| jhutchins | ClaireMc: It's possible the directories have been removed but are cached in the web server, but the path shown by the webserver is not the same as the filesystem path. | 21:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys I am having problems with my laptop in the sense that my speakers and headphones play sounds at the same time when i plug in headphones what can i do to launch a bug reporrt, for specifically my audio card, i do not know the steps i would take to file these problems | 21:31 |
| gfredericks | zykotick9: oh dangit now I can't get it to work at all; but I'll note that down, thanks | 21:31 |
| ClaireMc | The directories actually are there and I tried the same path as shown through the browser. That also made no difference. I just found that I can create a directory but then can't access it. | 21:32 |
| ClaireMc | Why would I have read/write access then not be able to see a directory I actually own? | 21:33 |
| zykotick9 | gfredericks: i'm afraid that really was a "check", i'm NOT sure that's where it'll be... best of luck though | 21:33 |
| ClaireMc | Anyway, I can't spend all evening on this. I'll reinstall and try again. | 21:34 |
| gordonjcp | ClaireMc: is it possible that you've deleted a directory that's the current working directory for the shell you're in? | 21:34 |
| gordonjcp | ClaireMc: also, how exactly are you "logged in as root"? | 21:35 |
| gfredericks | zykotick9: good to know, thanks | 21:35 |
| jhutchins | ClaireMc: If you are describing the situation accurately, it could be a problem with the disk/filesystme. | 21:35 |
| jhutchins | ClaireMc: root has access to all files and directories unless the filesystem is corrupt. | 21:35 |
| ClaireMc | That's a possibility. I have logged in as root using su and also directly to the root account. Makes no difference. | 21:36 |
| ClaireMc | jhutchins I'm beginning to think something has gone astray in the installation but unreported. | 21:36 |
| jhutchins | ClaireMc: root has access to all files and directories unless the filesystem is corrupt. | 21:37 |
| ClaireMc | That's what should happen jhutchins. I'll reinstall. It will be quicker in the long run. | 21:37 |
| jhutchins | ClaireMc: What about just checking the filesystem? | 21:38 |
| ClaireMc | Thanks for your suggestions guys. | 21:38 |
| jhutchins | Sigh. | 21:38 |

| jbalthazar | I'm having a strange package dependency problem. I was attempting to update Intel video stuff on a 12.04 install so I could run Steam and I followed these instructions (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve#Intel_Graphics) which involve installing some packages marked quantal | 21:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | Klapo: second link i gave refers to it in the answer | 21:45 |
| Klapo | oh, kay | 21:45 |
| jbalthazar | Something Went Wrong and my xorg install is broken. Rather than piece apart exactly what happened, I figured I'd uninstall xorg and start over | 21:45 |
| Klapo | gotta check it, anyway.. thanks for info | 21:45 |
| jbalthazar | However, whenever I try to use apt-get now, I get: linux-image-generic-lts-quantal : Depends: linux-image-3.5.0-45-generic but it is not going to be installed | 21:45 |
| jbalthazar | It recommends that I use -f, but that doesn't affect anything | 21:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: don't follow that guide. thats trying to downgrade your drivers, not upgrade | 21:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: might be easiest to reinstall to fix what you broke | 21:47 |
| jbalthazar | Ah, I managed to track down the offending package that was causing the dependency errors | 21:48 |
| jbalthazar | hitsujiTMO: I was under the impression that quantal was a version higher than 12.04 | 21:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: when did you install 12.04? | 21:48 |
| jbalthazar | A few weeks ago | 21:49 |
| jbalthazar | (It was the most recent version that supported the install method I needed) | 21:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: then you're prob on the saucy stack, which is newer again | 21:49 |
| jbalthazar | Okay | 21:49 |
| jbalthazar | Well, the current plan is to upgrade everything anyway, once I've got xorg back | 21:50 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I just installed it to the 64 gig. Should I redo it? | 21:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: installed as normal server install? | 21:51 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: you can't "upgrade" back to the sauch stack, you need to switch back to it | 21:52 |
| newb | Using live usb creator, I put the server on the 64gb usb stick. Should I redo that process and put it on an 8 gb stick? | 21:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: which one do you want to run the mining from? | 21:54 |
| newb | I had thought the 64 gig because my motherboard has not been recognizing the 8gb stick. Any time i use the 8 gig, I get the message, "unable to find medium containing live file system" | 21:54 |
| gfredericks | zykotick9: there it is! thanks! | 21:54 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I will continue to use this 64 gb stick. I am about to boot it up. | 21:55 |

| Vpex | zykotick9: It wont help with nautilus mounting but he can browse it via the mountpoint through nautilus | 22:28 |

| k1l_ | LinuxFixer: no direct upgrade. you need to go all steps | 22:46 |
| bekks | hitsujiTMO: Yeah. | 22:46 |

| Vpex | acovrig: oh I thought it was temp just to download files off of the server via a web browser | 22:49 |
| gustav | hitsujiTMO: Upgrades don't work, they are broken on this computer. I would have to reinstall with a lesser version, and do the downgrade manually. | 22:49 |
| arshinov | I don't need to install it on my system to see if everything is OK? Just run it throught usb stick is fine to check for hardware compatibility? | 22:49 |
| shutchie | nobodyeverknew: same error | 22:50 |
| k1l_ | arshinov: yes | 22:50 |
| acovrig | Vpex: no, it's temp for development I want to do | 22:50 |
| gustav | hitsujiTMO: I can upgrade, the process is fine, but I end up with a broken OS. | 22:50 |
| arshinov | thank you k1l_ | 22:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | gustav: then you'll simply need to reinstall a fresh | 22:50 |
| nobodyeverknew | shutchie: verify permissions? There is some kind of issue with the binary databases. Check the mysql log? | 22:50 |
| gustav | hitsujiTMO: Yeah. | 22:51 |
| LinuxFixer | Gustav then just do backup of all your important files and then do a clean upgrade to 13.10 using usb or live cd | 22:51 |
| gustav | LinuxFixer: 13.10 doesn't work. It's broken. | 22:51 |

| [Ethos] | not ffw, I meant ufw | 22:51 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I don't see continue as an option. What do I select in the list? | 22:51 |

| jhutchins | gustav: You are correct that you can not upgrade directly to 13.10, skipping releases has never been supported. | 23:17 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: ok | 23:17 |
| LinuxFixer | Gustav: Just do a clean install of 13.10 from a newly burned bootable usb stick and everything should work out of the box. You can download intel hd graphics driver from intels site. After you've done that, go ahead and install bumblebee with primus | 23:17 |
| jhutchins | Of course, bumblebee is a work in progress, not perfect by any means. | 23:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | gustav: do a clean install of 13.10. the reason why an upgrade to 13.04 results in a broken os, is because you've install xedgers ppa | 23:18 |
| LinuxFixer | But works like a charm on most computers:) | 23:18 |
| vielso | what can I do to unmount nfs partition? My nfs server went down, and now I cannot unmount it. I tried 'umount -f /mnt/nfs' and 'umount -l -f /mnt/nfs' but both of them hang | 23:20 |
| acovrig | Where are apparmor's logs? I am having issues with apache that seem to point to apparmor. | 23:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: syslog | 23:22 |
| acovrig | hitsujiTMO: is there a verbose option or something, I am trying to access something outside of /var/www with apache (I used an Alias) and when I try to load the page I get an apache permission error, but nothing in syslog | 23:23 |
| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: nothing to do with apparmour | 23:24 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest35710 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: thats the apache config thats preventing that | 23:24 |
| hitsujiTMO | acovrig: you need to add permissions for that vhost to access that path | 23:24 |
| shutchie | anyone know how to reset mysql users in ubunt? | 23:25 |
| jbalthazar | Attempting to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. I run do-release-upgrade and it stops on Calculating the changes. The error is, "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." | 23:25 |
| jbalthazar | I'm not even sure what it's saying is wrong, let alone how to go about fixing it :/ | 23:26 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: what ppas did you install? | 23:27 |
| jbalthazar | hitsujiTMO: How can I get a list? | 23:30 |
| hitsujiTMO | cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 23:30 |
| jbalthazar | I have several. Can I just delete them from this directory? | 23:31 |
| graped3 | LjL: this is only for you if you are LjL-Card from the offtopic chanel:>> banned for asking about a movie, dude, you are an idiot, enjoy your alpha male status in the channel | 23:32 |

| jbalthazar | There are a couple related to Steam, one related to an application that I installed, and one related to my attempt to mess with the video drivers | 23:33 |

| hitsujiTMO | foggalong: you got a problem with your connection? | 23:35 |
| rawrrrrrr | When I do 'fdisk -l', nothing shows in stoud.... why is that? | 23:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | rawrrrrrr: you need to be the super user to use fdisk | 23:36 |
| zykotick9 | rawrrrrrr: try "sudo fdisk -l" | 23:36 |

| ignacio_ | k1l: you banned me? ... | 23:36 |
| rawrrrrrr | zykotick9: thank you... it usually tells me when that's the problem (: | 23:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | ignacio_: #ubuntu-ops for that | 23:36 |
| ignacio_ | hitsujiTMO: thx. | 23:36 |
| foggalong | hitsujiTMO: yeah, sorry about this. | 23:37 |
| foggalong | hitsujiTMO: I think I've got it smoothed out now, but I have to go now | 23:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | foggalong: np | 23:37 |
| foggalong | hitsujiTMO: At least this time it will be intentional | 23:37 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: The installation finished and it went to reboot. A bunch of on-screen text appeared and now I have a black screen. | 23:38 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: perhaps I should shut it down and restart it again. | 23:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | !nomodeset | newb try this if it happens again | 23:38 |
| ubottu | newb try this if it happens again: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:38 |
| a215 | if i have an encrypted home directory, does the space taken show up double on df -h? | 23:40 |
| bekks | No. | 23:40 |
| a215 | baobab is reporting 80gb free, df, only like 3 | 23:40 |
| bekks | The unencrypted filesystem shows up, and the loopback mount shows up too. They are almost the same size, but they are different. | 23:40 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I did a reboot and got the same thing. I don't know how to do the !nomodeset | 23:41 |
| a215 | bekks: but the unencrypted version is what, fake? | 23:41 |
| jbalthazar | hitsujiTMO: I've removed the ppas that I don't need, but it still tells me I have held broken packages | 23:41 |
| a215 | an abstraction in RAM? | 23:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: when you boot. get up the grub menu (with left shift or esc) and edit the entry with e | 23:41 |
| bekks | a215: No. The unencrypted filesystem is the "real" filesystem. On that filesystem is a file, which is decrypted, mounted, and then its content shows up in df -h | 23:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | jbalthazar: what ppas are they? | 23:42 |
| a215 | you mean the undecrypted filesystem? | 23:42 |
| bekks | a215: I just explained it. | 23:42 |
| jbalthazar | precise-partner (which I assume is just getting ignored by the upgrade process anyway) and prof7bit-fake-pae, which I need because of a quirk in the processor that makes it claim not to support PAE even though it does | 23:43 |
| a215 | somehow im more confused by your explanation | 23:43 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I am on grub. Now what? | 23:44 |
| jbalthazar | a215: When you do the df, it will show the "real" filesystem as having an amount of space taken up that corresponds to the size of the encrypted filesystem | 23:45 |
| jbalthazar | It will also show the encrypted filesystem as a separate entry | 23:45 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: edit the ubuntu entry. add nomodeset after "quiet splash" then f10 to boot | 23:46 |
| a215 | ok, so it does show up double | 23:46 |
| a215 | more or less | 23:46 |
| jbalthazar | I mean, the total amount of free space is correct | 23:46 |
| a215 | o_o | 23:46 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I do not know how ot edit the ubuntu entry or add nomodeset after quiet splash. Can you provide step-by-step instruction? | 23:46 |
| jbalthazar | Okay, think of it like a pie chart | 23:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: e to edit | 23:47 |
| jussiapu | jusa | 23:47 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: Can't find 'e' command | 23:47 |
| jbalthazar | Half of the pie chart is your encrypted filesystem, so if you look at it, it looks like that space is used | 23:47 |
| jussiapu | i amm here | 23:47 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | Hello? | 23:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: press e on the keyboard | 23:47 |
| a215 | but baobab says i have 80gb free more than df -h does | 23:47 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | Can anyone help me out with Lubuntu here? | 23:48 |
| jussiapu | I do... just listen | 23:48 |
| jbalthazar | I'm not familiar with baobob | 23:48 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: um... I must be slow. press it and hold it down? Doing so just produces a lot of eeeeeeeeees in the grub. | 23:48 |
| presonic | just apt-get to install wine-dev, where is the source code? | 23:48 |
| presonic | just used* | 23:48 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: is it at the grub menu, or you at a command line? | 23:49 |
| marky23 | hi | 23:49 |
| jbalthazar | But df will show you specific numbers for each filesystem, so I'd trust that | 23:49 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | Is anyone familiar with Lubuntu? | 23:49 |
| marky23 | anyone here can help me i dont know how to install my scanner i use ubuntu 12.04 | 23:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | !anyone | MR_Wazzap11 | 23:49 |
| ubottu | MR_Wazzap11: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 23:49 |
| k1l | !details | MR_Wazzap11 | 23:49 |
| ubottu | MR_Wazzap11: 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 ..." | 23:49 |
| marky23 | i have a problem installing scanner to my ubuntu 12.04 | 23:50 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: you indicated I should be in grub and that's where I am. | 23:50 |
| marky23 | but i already installed my printer canon E610 series but the scanner didnt workd | 23:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: there the grub menu, and theres a grub command line. you should be in the menu. think you need to hit esc from the command line to get back to the grub menu | 23:51 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | Ok well I have Lubuntu 13.10 running on a secondary laptop and I just installed Cairo Docks, it supposedly makes things easier for first timers, but now its cutting my windows in half on my screen | 23:51 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | And I dont have Compiz to change the visual effects | 23:52 |
| hitsujiTMO | MR_Wazzap11: what composite manager have you installed? | 23:52 |
| Beldar | MR_Wazzap11, The dock will show now in any desktop, the cairo desktop is a bit strange. | 23:52 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | I'm not really sure, Its a fresh install I can look into it if you need me to hitsujiTMO | 23:53 |
| newb | hitsujiTMO: I see. Now I am on a setparams screen. | 23:53 |
| harris | find what background color of a cell in libre spreadsheet | 23:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | MR_Wazzap11: you're going to need to run a composite manager with cairo dock. Xcompmgr is a basic one | 23:54 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | I can supposedly add the Cairo-compmgr through the repositories, would you advise that? | 23:54 |
| hitsujiTMO | MR_Wazzap11: or cairo_compmgr would do i guess | 23:55 |
| presonic | anyone know where i'd find the source code to wine after installing wine-dev package? | 23:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | presonic: apt-get source wine wine-dev is headers not source | 23:55 |
| presonic | ok | 23:55 |
| harris | find what background color of a cell in libre spreadsheet | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: find the linux line. you should see "quiet splash" towards the end of it, add nomodeset | 23:56 |
| hitsujiTMO | newb: then f10 to boot | 23:57 |
| presonic | hitsujiTMO, : what directory would the source be in after running that command? | 23:57 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | The terminal is telling me it is unable to find the package eve after I added the repository and ran an update..... Any suggestions? | 23:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | presonic: current directory | 23:58 |
| presonic | o | 23:58 |
| presonic | great thanks | 23:58 |
| hitsujiTMO | MR_Wazzap11: what ppa, and what version of ubuntu? | 23:59 |
| MR_Wazzap11 | Well I'm running Lubuntu 13.10 as mentioned before and the ppa is ppa:shnatsel/staging | 23:59 |
