[00:00] Thanks hitsujiTMO. That was the right hint thanks a lot [00:01] hey guys [00:02] i don't seem to see prime95 in the ubuntu repos even though it clearly has a linux version [00:02] doing it manually via sudo su gdm -s /bin/bash works [00:02] is there an equivalent tool in the repos that you guys like? [00:02] I want to stress test a new build [00:02] i've used cpuburn in the past [00:02] daftykins: thanks, i'll give it a try [00:02] is it as effective? [00:02] you need to run one instance per core, also you need to match the edition [00:03] so for example, modern intel = "burnP6" [00:03] edition? [00:03] oh i see [00:03] it's all in the man page [00:03] nathanel1itane: So you are editing /etc/init/gdm.conf, right? [00:03] thanks my friend [00:03] nomine, system settings; network [00:03] so basically i'd have a terminal open per core, then another one with 'top' to watch it max load it :> [00:03] hard to say if it's as good as prime95 though, not sure :) [00:03] TJ-: It seems that the problem is within my script, any ideas? http://pastebin.com/KEpZyrjs [00:03] does it also make heavy use of ram like prime95 does? [00:04] TJ-: miner_running is present in /tmp [00:04] because I have been able to find memory issues in the past with prime95 when even memtest didn't find them [00:04] totesmuhgoats: i tend to fall back on memtest for RAM in new builds [00:04] hmm i don't think that's likely at all :) [00:04] depends how many passes you let memtest go for [00:05] anywho back shortly, changing room [00:05] pauljw: i've used pon for connecting to my provider. there's no information there. thanks [00:05] totesmuhgoats does running the following explain to you why it doesn't work in a subhell?: sudo whoami && sudo echo `whoami` [00:05] daftykins: well what happened in the past was that I had memory that wasn't defective, it just didn't play well with a particular motherboard and I had all sorts of stability issues [00:05] totesmuhgoats does running the following explain to you why it doesn't work in a subshell?: sorry: echo whoami && sudo echo `whoami` [00:05] totesmuhgoats, that's generally due to overheating caused by having both the cpu and ram stressed, and poor ventilation [00:05] hitsujiTMO: i've edited the lightdm.conf file, but the lxde desktop keeps loading up :/ how can i disable it? thats why i wanted to uninstall it. also, storage space is very limited, so if it's possible i'd like to get rid of it [00:06] ssl_: try rm ~/.dmrc [00:06] fuck you :) Use MacOS [00:06] psusi: yea that is what I thought but it wasn't the case, the ram was fine, cpu was fine, just the combination of ram + motherboard didn't work. memtest didn't yield anything but after a while of doing the most intensive prime95 testing it would find that the numbers didn't match what was expected [00:07] switched that same ram out in a different system and put different sticks in that one [00:07] prime95 ran fine and both PCs were stable afterward [00:07] totesmuhgoats, right... after a while the heat built up enough to screw it up [00:07] no, not the heat [00:07] the same cpu with cooler was used with different memory sticks [00:07] and perfectly stable [00:07] it was that particular stick and board not working well together [00:08] whenever I try to run a mysql outfile command, it keeps giving me a Can't create/write to file (Errorcode: 13 ) error msg [00:08] different memory sticks generate less heat, and are less susceptible to heat messing them up [00:08] psusi: is that the case? i assumed maybe it was that the voltage was not exactly 1.5v as the manufacturer claimed [00:08] I can write to temp, but just not any other location [00:09] totesmuhgoats, it is possible that 1.5v wasn't quite enough for that ram once it got hot... and bumping it up a bit could have made it work [00:10] nomine, how about sudo lshw ? [00:10] pauljw: it only outputs PCI (sysfs) [00:11] hitsujiTMO: didn't work, but i see there are other conf files in /etc/lightdm/ [00:12] totesmuhgoats, there's basically a tradeoff between voltage, temperature, and refresh rate... the higher the temperature and lower the voltage, the faster the data decays.. so they may test it and say it's good at 1.5v, but in your system with that load it gets 2-3 degrees warmer and falls short [00:13] ssl_: lightdm.conf overrides the others so shouldn't be an issue. can you again pastebin /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log [00:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6934313/ [00:17] psusi: so do you think cpuburn would help me to find instability in such a case? [00:18] ssl_: Running command /usr/sbin/lightdm-session /usr/bin/startlxde seems to be doing it. can you pastebin /usr/share/xsessions/LXDE.desktop and the configs in: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ [00:18] yes [00:20] LXDE.desktop contains: Exec=/usr/bin/startlxde [00:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6934325/ [00:22] ssl_: and: cat /etc/lightdm/* | pastebinit === joobz is now known as joobie [00:25] thats a nice little command! http://paste.ubuntu.com/6934339/ [00:28] ssl_: hmm, try this: sudo dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User`id -u ubuntu` org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXSession string:chromium [00:32] dont know what that is, but it returns: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files [00:33] ssl_: ls -l /etc/x-session-manager [00:33] lol i did apt-get autoremove lxde and it still boots up into lxde! [00:33] ssl_: lol yup. some packages kinda do that. sudo apt-get autoremove [00:33] no such directory === daek_ is now known as Daekdroom [00:35] ssl_: soory, i'm tired:P ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager [00:37] sudo find / | grep x-session-manager nothing [00:38] ssl_: ok, disable the autologin, and select the chromium xsession in lightdm [00:39] did anyone hear about this website where you can enter linux commands (with their switches) and it'll tell you what each switch/argument does [00:39] so you don't have to hunt through man pages for each option [00:39] it was mentioned on lifehacker or something a few months back [00:40] raj: was it "term" something? I think I just saw a link recently, let me see what I can dig up [00:40] Is there something like veth that doesn't involve the ethernet header implemented in ubuntu? [00:40] raj: google "man page the commandiaminterestedin" [00:41] Rallias: Whats "veth"? [00:41] bekks, ip link veth0 type veth [00:42] raj: was it this? http://playterm.org/ === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away [00:42] Rallias: Is it something like a vnic? [00:42] raj: i;m sure they';; know in #bash [00:42] hitsujiTMO, Yeah I had a bit of trouble trying to install from one of those downloads before. I'll download this version & try it [00:43] pibby, no [00:43] Rallias: What is your end goal? [00:45] Rallias: If you want a point to point connection between host and container at layer 3 only, there is: http://openvz.org/Venet . [00:46] Jordan_U, I want to seperate my client VPN users into separate network namespaces (ip netns) without having to have the local overhead of ethernet headers. [00:47] Rallias: Describe that "overhead" in terms like "count of packets, bandwidth, etc." please. [00:47] Jordan_U, The overhead of an archaic kernel such as OpenVZ is well in excess of the overhead of routing by ethernet header. === TheLordOfTime is now known as teward [00:47] asdasd [00:48] bekks, Ethernet packets are bigger, causing unnecessary overhead that I feel should be handled at the gateway as opposed to at the vm. [00:48] Well... not VM... the only separation is in the network layer. [00:48] Rallias: What type of containers are these? [00:48] "feelings" are something that can be safely ignored in terms of "IT". [00:48] jordan, Network namespace. [00:49] Rallias: are you saying you want to use ethernet without the overhead of ethernet? [00:49] hitsujiTMO, No. I'm saying I want to use ethernet without the overhead of a local bridge. [00:49] hitsujiTMO: Actually, yes. [00:50] Rallias: Describe the "overhead" of a local bridge in terms of "packet size overhead in bytes" and in terms of "amount of packets" please. [00:50] Rallias: you meay use "MTU" in your description as well. :) [00:50] bekks, More CPU cycles. [00:51] Rallias: LOl [00:51] bekks: Please be respectful to all users of this channel. [00:51] It is a potential option which I wish to entertain in developing the most efficient setup possible. [00:51] Jordan_U: I will. [00:52] Rallias: what layer encapsulation are you reffering to? [00:53] hitsujiTMO, 3 mostly. [00:54] Rallias: If I understand correctly, you've got multiple layer-3 (TCP/UDP) VPNs you wish to segregate, and are doing so using containers/network namespaces, and are looking for a way to connect the layer-3 VPNs to the host without having to put them through the layer-2 Ethernet veth interface to a bridge on the host? [00:55] TJ-, yes. [00:55] Rallias: Knowing how the kernel passes things around internally, I don't think you need to be too concerned about ethernet headers for those. [00:55] ok sweet. got dual-booting windows 8 and ubuntu in uefi with secureboot on. now just gotta fix the X segfault :x [00:58] http://abughrai.be/Xorg.0.log [00:58] ^^ log from crash [00:58] Rallias: if you're talking about a vpn then you need that overhead. it's minimal but necessary. the only thing you could try and do is up the MTU but every device in that network would need to have the same oversized MTU [00:58] TJ-: you asked for a picture. tada there's the log [00:58] ggreer, I would pastebin that text [00:59] ggreer: radeon driver crashing. maybe try fglrx [00:59] what's wrong with my personal server? [01:00] Rallias: network segment i should say [01:00] ggreer: had you already tried to install the AMD proprietary driver 'fglrx' on that install? [01:01] daftykins: nope [01:01] ggreer: ah, it's just trying to look for it a few times :) [01:01] or at least, not intentionally. I did check the "install 3rd party proprietary stuff" in the installer [01:01] oh right [01:01] that might be it [01:01] but I figured that was just mp3 decoding or whatever [01:01] mmm. [01:01] no fglrxinfo [01:02] ggreer: looks like you have the quite new AMD Kabini platform there [01:03] yeah, I guess [01:03] lenovo x140e, which is certified with 12.04: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201309-14195/ [01:03] ggreer: i suspect then that you might need to install the latest AMD driver to get that running nicely [01:03] probably. I'm following the manual instructions now [01:03] ggreer: that refers to an AMD A4, is yours not an A6? can you check in /proc/cpuinfo ? [01:04] amd a4-5000 [01:04] oh ok [01:04] yeah I tried to order the model that was the same as the certified model [01:05] I'm impressed with the setup process. it was a little tricky to set up encryption for the whole ubuntu partition, but besides that it worked quite well [01:05] hitsujiTMO: i've completly removed lxde and added user-session=chromium-browser to my lightdm.conf, but the lightdm.log says "Failed to find session configuration default" and doesn't seem to try loading my chromium-browser.desktop [01:05] even secureboot and dual-booting are fine [01:05] ggreer: how did you get around your earlier troubles? alternate install disc instead? [01:05] perhaps "user-session" is wrong? [01:05] graphics worked in the installer [01:05] so I hit alt + f1 and ran sudo DISPLAY=':0' gparted [01:06] ggreer: see bug #1253974 [01:06] and got gparted in the installer GUI [01:06] bug 1253974 in glamor-egl (Ubuntu) "glamor-egl 0.5.1-0ubuntu6 crashes when running autopilot tests" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1253974 [01:06] TJ-: thanks [01:06] ggreer: Next time use gksudo. [01:06] ssl_: very strange. i've managed such before tirh other software my self [01:07] is that even on the install disc? [01:07] ggreer: Yes. [01:07] neat [01:08] ssl_: have you tried disabling the auto login temporarily and setting the xsession in lightdm yet? === hdevalence|away is now known as hdevalence [01:08] what is the channel for ubuntu package management? [01:09] <[x]> :) [01:10] MichaelTunnell: Package management in what sense? [01:10] hitsujiTMO: autologin is disabled. what you mean by setting xsession in lightdm? [01:11] someone I could point to a bug in my package that is in the repo, I have already submitted the bug but no one is looking at it and it is a Ubuntu specific thing so the Debian maintainer has nothing to do with it [01:11] ssl_: in light dm, you can choose your session from the available sessions (top right corner iirc) [01:11] oh [01:12] <[x]> ssL === racer|stream is now known as racer0940 [01:12] <[x]> ssl_, hi [01:12] MichaelTunnell: something like #ubuntu-packaging [01:12] well i removed the greeter, so there is no gui left :D [01:12] daftykins: thanks [01:12] <[x]> wow [01:12] [x]: hi [01:12] ssl_: ahh, add in the greeter again and have a test :) [01:12] MichaelTunnell: #ubuntu-bugs [01:12] Awhile back I backed up my system (at least I thought it was all of it) but now I was going to try to move the Steam/Valve back over to the new install so I could play my saved games. How do I find that file and how to I restore it? Do I have to install Steam again? I was hoping since I already downloaded everything I wouldn't have to do it again. Any ideas!?

[01:20] [x]: depends what you installed === shiznix_ is now known as shiznix [01:20] daftykins, trying to update/fresh install wifi software/drivers. Currently I've had ubuntu on the same machine about 4 times & it sometimes has trouble connecting to the wifi, but I can boot into windows & connect straight away no problems. I'm using a usb wifi [01:21] <[x]> as like in backtrack how to connect to ssh in ubuntu using ssh keys [01:22] [x]: you'll have to read up on how to reconfigure SSH [01:22] HolyQuacomole: which chipset does it use? are you in windows right now? [01:23] <[x]> daftykins any FM for ssh configuration ?? [01:24] you're on your own there i'm afraid === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [01:30] No, today it's working okay for some reason. But usually I'll be on windows all day fine perfect, then I come on ubuntu & it will connect for 5 minutes then not really connect again. Yesterday it was playing up so I custom added the wifi with it's mac address off of the router, it connects to that then makes another edited connection. [01:30] daftykins, No, today it's working okay for some reason. But usually I'll be on windows all day fine perfect, then I come on ubuntu & it will connect for 5 minutes then not really connect again. Yesterday it was playing up so I custom added the wifi with it's mac address off of the router, it connects to that then makes another edited connection. [01:30] daftykins, so yeah I'm on ubuntu right now not windows. [01:32] HolyQuacomole: ok, if you run "lsusb" in a terminal, it should show what chipset your wireless device is using [01:35] daftykins, Yeah sorry forgot to tell you the chipset it's rlt 8192CU, I have been through this with "hitsujiTMO".

[01:50] Beldar: after the selection of the options ... while the initialization of initram [01:50] HolyQuacomole: you might want to give him whatever errors you encountered there then [01:50] HolyQuacomole: or maybe just wait for April's new release of trusty and upgrade? :) [01:51] can someone explain this hibernatuion problem with sharing swap space [01:51] arun, I would ask them if you are sure of this, however I don't think it is actually being supported. It's 3rd party status cuts down the support, not sure many use it. [01:51] daftykins, yeah I think it came to not knowing what was making it not install. Yeah I'm already holding out for then, but 2 months is still a longish time to wait. Another question, how would one go from precise to trusty? Can I upgrade without losing my files & having to reinstall apps? [01:52] Beldar: ok dude thanks and is it possible to install ubuntu 32 bit in Windows 8 64 bit (dual boot) ? [01:53] yes [01:53] yessss that guide worked.

[01:56] not sure when that started [01:56] looks like a grub issue. will troubleshoot myself before asking specifics === Guest59751 is now known as lukemorrison === SrRaven is now known as zz_SrRaven [01:57] ggreer, from my noob experience if you're stuffing around with ubuntu dual boots & ubuntu in general for the first time, unplug other hard drives that the o/s isn't on so that you don't accidentally delete stuff. [01:57] it's a laptop ;) [01:57] HolyQuacomole: it's almost certainly a uefi issue [01:58] I'm trying to dual-boot windows 8.1 and ubuntu 13.10 [01:58] i might power cycle myself to see if it's a quirk [01:58] but anywho :) [01:58] yeah I'm about to do that. gotta finish setting up some stuff in ubuntu [01:58] get my ~/.zprofile over and all that [01:59] ggreer, struth. I've had Windows 8.1 & Ubuntu 12.04 lts (I seem to prefer the long term support releases) & I nearly cried when to get rid of ubuntu I deleted its partition & had no bootloaders, had to do some windows recovery command crap to reinstall windows mbr [02:00] brutal [02:03] hi [02:03] ubuntu will switch to systemd? wow [02:04] makes me sad. I worry that software will depend on systemd and then never get ported to freebsd or os x :/ [02:04] I hope that isn't the case. systemd by itself has a lot of neat new things, I just don't want it to cause breakage on other OSes [02:04] ggreer: there's lots of software that already depend on systemd, no? like gnome and other DEs [02:05] they depend on parts of systemd. systemd isn't just a one monolithic program [02:05] only certain bits are totally un-portable [02:05] i'm not worried about that at all [02:05] will it be possible to update a server from 12.10 to 14.04? [02:05] i'm happy that systemd is actually advancing things [02:06] moving things forward [02:06] pero: The supported upgrade path would be 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 > 14.04. I'd probably just reinstall, personally. [02:06] in my ideal world, systemd and launchd would have a common subset of API bits. then people who want to write interesting portable software could do so [02:06] pero: you can only do LTS to LTS directly, so e.g. 12.04 to 14.04 would be direct [02:06] and then freebsd would ditch svinit for launchd [02:06] if other systems want a specific software they could do the work to bring those software into their platforms [02:06] and we would all hold hands and sing kumbaya [02:07] Question, how would I install win xp, and 2 other Linux operating systems with the Linux systems using LVM ? [02:07] rww: and not possible to downgrade 12.10 to 12.04? [02:07] pero: Ubuntu doesn't support downgrading, correct [02:08] rww: and 'do-release-upgrade' is the best practice?

[02:11] pero: I think it's in update-notifier-common package [02:11] hewhomust: yes, or just @hourly commandhere [02:11] ok thanks === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [02:11] hewhomust: or or some particular minute of the hour, e.g. 7 * * * * [02:11] or for ** [02:12] ok thanks [02:13] how get packa ge with virus inside? [02:13] rww: fyi, update-manager-core [02:13] rww: thx [02:13] sorry, [02:13] my friend typed that [02:13] pero: ah, there we go. thanks for the correction :) [02:14] GreenMuon: tell your friend it is called Windows [02:14] Not really an ubuntu question but is mpeg2 support built into debian [02:14] Bray90820: ask #debian [02:14] haha [02:15] Bray90820: media support is different from codec support and basically no distros except mint comes with codecs by default...for legal reasons [02:16] but yea ask in #debian for debian questions [02:16] But if i were to install the codec on ubuntu does that automatically mean my device can support it or not [02:17] i tried loading path of exile through playonlinux and it gives me the error failed resetting direct3d device objects. how can i fix that? [02:17] Bray90820: search the Software Center for Restricted Extras [02:17] that will install codecs and more good stuff === wolverine is now known as Guest27089 [02:17] but depends on what you mean by your device so hard to say without more info === joobz is now known as joobie [02:18] thats the error so idk [02:19] rww: what if i have 3rd party repos still set for 12.10 [02:19] should i change them to saucy? [02:19] Guest83946: you need to ask the playonlinux guys as I am not familiar with it...so join #playonlinux [02:19] I am not talking about any devices specifically just generally if the hardware is good enough to playback mpeg 2 content would installing the codec automatically assure that you can play the files or not [02:19] how do i do that? [02:19] pero: the upgrade process with comment them out in sources.list. after the upgrade, you can uncomment and change the version on them [02:19] will comment ** [02:22] MichaelTunnell: I am not talking about any devices specifically just generally if the hardware is good enough to playback mpeg 2 content would installing the codec automatically assure that you can play the files or not === joobz is now known as joobie === Ozera is now known as Ozera_zz [02:28] I heard that running a bind server can help get you to new web pages faster but is it smart to run on on a laptop or does it open to many vulnerability unless you know exactly what your doing? [02:28] Bray90820: I can't guarantee that...it depends on whether or not the file was encoded correctly...but if the video was made properly then yes installing the extras for the codecs would make them work just fine in Totem or in VLC [02:28] Alright [02:29] I was only planning on having the dns sever responding to what ever my ip address is and no other [02:29] So it's OS specific not hardware specific [02:29] how can i upgrade my bios? [02:29] rawrmonster: running a bind server won't help you get to new web pages faster. [02:30] rawrmonster: apart from anything else, network-manager in Ubuntu already uses dnsmasq to do what you want bind to do, out of the box. Your home network's router probably does too. [02:30] anyone tried tahr? [02:30] fathin: #ubuntu+1 for unreleased Ubuntu, thanks :) [02:30] rww: but wont it stop you from having to go to a public dns and all the way back to you from the internet and you can just ask the dns on your computer for the info [02:30] fathin, #ubuntu+1 for that [02:30] oh okok [02:31] rww: because my dns at the moment is 4.2.2.2 [02:31] rawrmonster: no, you'll still have to do that the first time you do a lookup, it'll just cache it. which again, firefox, dnsmasq, and (probably) your router already do === Neozonz|Disc is now known as Guest13443 [02:32] rww: because it is only the first time i go to a webpage that is sometimes really slow [02:32] rawrmonster: bind won't help with that [02:32] rawrmonster: your local dns needs to get its info from ... the internet. your just adding 1 more layer. not doing you any good [02:32] ^ [02:32] hitsujiTMO: ahh that makes since [02:32] adah: contact your computer manufacturer to see if they have a new bios or not [02:32] rawrmonster: that has nothing to do with your dns [02:32] rww: worked np [02:33] pero: great :) [02:33] 3.5 isn't 13.10's kernel though is it? [02:33] no it is not [02:33] that would be digitalocean holding it back [02:33] yea i thought so [02:33] pero: VPSes tend to supply their own kernel indeed [02:33] rawrmonster: slow loading pages is just down to a slow connection ... either at your end or the servers [02:34] e.g. the version on my Debian Linode VPS is 3.12.6-x86-linode55 [02:34] thank you a lot guys hope i was not to much trouble with my noob question :D [02:34] :) [02:34] can someone recommend a panel that has autohide [02:35] @hew panel? [02:35] lxpanel has autohide as well [02:35] doesn't Unity's have it in a settings program somewhere [02:35] yeah i hate the default one [02:35] pibby, hitsujiTMO the website is explainshell.com [02:36] btw, is there a usual place to keep tarballs in your home directory? [02:36] raj, no, thats all up to you [02:36] raj: thats purely personal preference [02:36] raj, if they are important to you, put them somewhere that is being backed up and you know it === andrea is now known as Guest47584 [02:40] Not trying to bog you guys down with to many questions so this will be my last for a while. If i am am trying to learn iptables does anyone know a good tutorial that would not require me to spend a lot on a book, but something that is pretty current. I just don't have a lot of money to be spending on expensive books at the moment [02:40] I understand it's purely preference, but I wanna know what're some usual directory names [02:40] anyone know why i'd have problems killing a rhythmbox process using kill -9 or killall [02:40] it's currently in ~/downloads, where it doesn't belong [02:40] because most of the tutorials that i have found are really really old [02:40] ~/tarballs ? [02:41] ~/non_repo_packages ? eww ugly [02:41] ~/tarballs is too general, I just wanna put tarballs that are installed [02:41] raj: theres no set place, just puth them in a directory you're comfortable with [02:41] rawrmonster: "man iptables" ? [02:41] raj: mkdir put_tarballs_in_this_directory [02:42] rawrite: the iptables packages installs HTML docs to "/usr/share/doc/iptables/html/" [02:42] this process wont die [02:42] grrr, tab-completion gremlins [02:42] rawrmonster: the iptables packages installs HTML docs to "/usr/share/doc/iptables/html/" [02:42] presonic whih one? [02:42] TJ-: I have tried reading it but it just seems pretty cryptic to me being a noob i am looking for something that will explain from the ground up so i can learn how it all works at the same time. I do not mind it being long because it bet there is tons of stuff iptables can do. [02:42] rawrmonster: your best bet is to google for peoples scripts and learn from them, it's not tooooo bad to pick up when you piece together examples [02:42] anyone know why i'd have problems killing a rhythmbox process using kill -9 or killall [02:43] hitsujiTMO, presonic where do you keep yours? [02:43] raj: atm im not that organized [02:43] presonic go to terminal and sudo top [02:43] TJ-: ook let me check out the html one then [02:43] presonic, daemon? [02:43] i typically delete if i dont need them [02:43] otherwise i use ~/ARCHIVE [02:44] raj: idk [02:44] raj: don't. grab them frsh off the net each time. some things get updated too often for me to bother archiving [02:44] i cant run it because the process is there [02:44] but i cant kill it [02:44] rawrmonster: little tip for you, each package *may* install some docs and they'll always be under /usr/share/doc/>package-name>/ [02:44] presonic enter "u" then type in username [02:45] TJ-: You have been so insightful and very much a help. Just wanted to say thank you! [02:45] presonic then enter "k" [02:45] genious: in a terminal? [02:45] TJ-: because i know you all don't get paid to help us :D [02:46] presonic yes in the terminal [02:46] uh. I went to settings -> software & updates and it said my packages were out of date or something. I clicked update and now my mouse cursor moves at 1fps and my keyboard is unresponsive [02:46] type the letter u in the terminal? [02:46] and the hard drive activity is going crazy [02:46] ? [02:47] oh sure. it goes on for 20 minutes but fixes itself immediately as soon as I complain about it on IRC [02:47] once in terminal enter ' sudo top ' [02:47] hi im having a problem with the process of installing the windows drivers and some other components to make my wireless card work with ubuntu 12.04 so the first thing i was suggested to do its not working... .will copy and paste. please mind that i have already ndiswrapper and the nisgkt [02:47] presoni it will show you all running processes [02:47] rawrmonster: the best thing to do is create a virtual machine from an ubuntu server iso, and play about inside it [02:47] genious: i used 'ps uax | grep rhy' and it'll list the process [02:48] then i use kill -9 but it wont die [02:48] hitsujiTMO, not a bad idea [02:48] presonic dont use that... use the terminal [02:48] TJ-: yea i was going to do that then mess up may computer and not get internet lol [02:48] it's responsive again. hooray. load average spiked to 10 [02:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6934842/ [02:48] and [02:49] hi people [02:49] rawrmonster: playing inside the virtual machine won't affect your bare-metal install [02:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6934851/ [02:50] is it normal for X to use 200MB of memory and compiz to use 128MB? (that's RSS, not virtual or anything) [02:50] TJ- thank you again, and have a great day I'm going to log off [02:50] eskrima do you ahve software center open or synaptic package manager? [02:52] ianorlin i think so [02:52] let me see [02:52] actualy what would the name be? ianorlin [02:54] ianorlin i had problems since i bought this laptop with win 8 and the bios was messing up for me to install the ubuntu cd, so finally i fixed that and the wifi key doesnt work as well as the wifi connection is not being detected. sometimes it will work fine, but mostly not [02:54] i installed the ndiswrapper and the nisgtk [02:55] but i need to wrapp the windows network card to that so im stuck [02:56] ianorlin im stuck now and dont know how to find the wireless card on ubuntu 12.04 lte and installit with ndiswrapper [02:56] if you have software center or synaptic open close it as apt-get won't work with those installed [02:56] the command should work then [02:56] ianorlin what is the name of the software you [02:56] i have a software center yes [02:57] ianorlin but right now some updates are downloading. [02:57] you need to have it closed as apt-get doesn't work with both open [02:57] ianorlin ooooh ok [02:57] ah wait for that to be done first then enter the command [02:58] ianorlin so didyou saw my two links what i posted earlier? one of the are instructions on how to intall and wrapp the wireless forlinux. is that good for me to follow? [02:58] hey guys [02:58] is there a command for apt to have it reinstall every single installed package on the system? [02:58] had to log out to kill the process, doesn't make sense [02:59] can another process protect another process? it was tied in to the gui? [02:59] i have a pc where i found that my dimm slots were not working properly and i'm concerned about data corruption [02:59] kill -9 should be unstoppable, even if another process was protecting it it would end up with a pid [02:59] now that i've replaced it i'd like to fetch a good copy of everything installed [02:59] totesmuhgoats: aptitude? This is a situation where backups are very important [03:00] !clone | totesmuhgoats [03:00] totesmuhgoats: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [03:01] I haven't personally followed it but it makes sense [03:02] ianorlin i haven tried so many wasy (im still a linux beginner) but i dont kmnow any other way [03:03] ianorlin its really p*******ing me off, that my new laptop cant work on wifi that i have at home... [03:03] How do I change the name of stuff in the Unity launcher? [03:03] For example, gedit shows up as "Text editor" when moused over. I want to change to say "gedit" [03:03] ianorlin i meant i had tried so many ways, none it works [03:03] ResidentBiscuit: i have backups of the user files, i just need a reinstall of all the installed packages, should be very doable [03:03] totesmuhgoats: apt-get --reinstall `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -d' ' f1` [03:03] Bashing-om: thanks, i'll try it out [03:04] ianorlin be back, need to restart the pc [03:04] Supposedly, it should reinstall every package installed on the system. [03:04] How do you copy an associative array? [03:04] pac1: which language [03:04] Bashing-om: thanks, i'll look into the clone thing first and failing that i'll give that a try [03:05] totesmuhgoats: ;D === path0nge is now known as path0gen [03:09] i am not sure apt-clone is what i'm looking for [03:10] what is apt-clone? === root___ is now known as madoka [03:11] i need help sharing a printer to my network [03:12] it prints fine from the host machine running 12.04 but i don't know how to share it properly [03:12] Anyone have experience with Nvidia Optimus laptops and multiple monitors?

[03:17] kostkon: thanks [03:19] totesmuhgoats: I do not recall off the top of my head, give me a bit to hunt up the info.

[04:05] why not aptoncd totesmuhgoats [04:05] !aptoncd [04:05] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [04:06] or clonezilla if you want to go that route [04:07] eskrima: linux-image-3.2.0-58-generic is the lastest 3.2 kernel. install that from the repo... as well as the headers linux-headers-3.2.0-58-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-58 then boot to it and test to make sure everything works. then restart the process for building the wifi module [04:08] eskrima: i'm afraid i have to head to bed, so good luck. i should be back on tomorrow at some stage anyhow [04:08] hitsujiTMO excuse my ignorance, but before u go whrere are the repo? === duoi is now known as duoi_afk [04:09] hitsujiTMO thanks a lot will try ti\o work with it. good night!! [04:10] eskrima: repos = what you install stuff from when you go: sudo apt-get install blaaaarg so just sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-58-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-58-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-58 you can then boot to that specific kernel from the grub boot menu [04:10] Kazam just wont open...

[04:32] osmodivs, last but not least simple screen recorder. im recommending you this because it can record opengl windows, if you select opengl as the video input. why not give it a try. [04:33] osmodivs, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/simple-screen-recorder-linux [04:33] Bashing-om: would you like to see the output I get when i run it?

[04:37] What are you missing \x00? [04:38] cashnguns, does it lock up when you start it in safe mode? help -> restart with addons disabled [04:39] fathin what do you mean i dont know how to du [04:39] do [04:40] no, wrong person sry [04:41] fathin im more of a beginner linux and i woldnt know how to do it [04:41] i actually bought a new laptop with the win 8 preinstalled [04:42] sorry to hear that [04:43] fathin the bios were totaly different and i had a really really hard time installin ubuntu on with the original ubuntu 12.10 cd. it didnt want to boot, delet win or install ubuntu. really a disaster. than somehow i figured how to disable secure boot and thats how i downloaded the 12.04 because my ubuntu 12.10 cd doesnt work. i dont know if its even good cd. so i downloaded 12.04 and since then my wireless adaptor (internal) doesnt [04:44] eskrima: wifi adapter chipset? [04:44] fathin even the button doesnt work . the wifi its seems to be disconnected by the hardware switch. so so far i have installed ndsiwrapper and ndisgkt [04:44] yeah lotuspsychje [04:45] eskrima: did you connect internet during setup and install updates? [04:45] lotuspsychje i was now at the point where i was following this instrucitons http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104690 [04:45] totesmuhgoats: Think I got it, ->-f1 Using (-f) option, you are specifying the extraction field number.

[04:45] and i got this.... .paste.ubuntu.com/6935047/ [04:46] lotuspsychje and supposedly is compaling to file [04:46] eskrima: do you have a ralink chipset?

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 ..." [04:47] maybe you can't pipe output to cut? [04:47] ignore that [04:48] Bashing-om: i am getting invalid operation somepackagename [04:48] lotuspsychje hmm i think it came with the laptop (internal) the wifi was working fine with the win 8. also i dont remember if i connected to the internet during setup [04:48] i don't believe my apt-get takes an argument --reinstall [04:48] lotuspsychje yeah i can connect lan, and usb thet [04:49] eskrima: try an internet cable right now and update, might get your latest wifi drivers [04:49] totesmuhgoats: It doesn't hurt to try: [ sudo apt-get install --reinstall $PACKAGE ] [04:49] also sometims the wifi magically works [04:49] SonikkuAmerica: thanks [04:49] totesmuhgoats: I am sure it does, let me go back and RE-examine, It should work, (should!!). [04:49] Bashing-om: now we have a new problem [04:49] so cut now is syntactically correct [04:49] lotuspsychje did already, [04:49] but doesn't remove the stuff after the delimeter specified [04:50] so it thinks the "install" on every line is a pakage [04:50] and i get a ton of lines that say unable to locate package install [04:50] eskrima: pastebin output of lshw -C network please [04:50] im about to get kernel 3.2 and go follow again from start the link i gavbe u [04:52] lotuspsychje http://paste.ubuntu.com/6935233/ [04:53] lotuspsychje what is thge command to get out of root in terminal? [04:53] where is efivars? [04:53] i cant find it [04:53] modprobe efivars doesnt do anything [04:53] even when i do lsmod [04:54] eskrima: did you type something wrong? lshw -C network [04:54] Bashing-om: here's what works aptitude reinstall '~i' [04:54] it selects all the packages and tries to reinstall [04:54] loyuspsychje im in the root currently.. how do i get back [04:55] but it ails because "I wasn't able to locate a file for the ____ package. This might mean you need to manually fix the package." [04:55] !sudo | eskrima [04:55] if I manually reinstall then it gives the that error for a different package [04:55] eskrima: 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 [04:57] eskrima: if you did su or sudo -I or sudo -s just type exit.. if you're in the /root directory just type cd to change to your home directory.. if you just used sudo for a single command you don't need to do anything. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking [04:57] lotuspsychje [04:57] me neither :) [04:57] ok got it [04:57] Haha well, that makes two of us.. cheers [04:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6935243/ [04:58] stainedhat i do but at the same time dont know hpo\ow to explain [04:59] eskrima: no worries.. as long as one of the answers worked you're good to go [04:59] actually we are still figuring out stainedhat [05:00] stainedhat let me tell you [05:00] eskrima: sure, I'll try to help.. explain your problem again please [05:01] another user that just left 30 min ago told me to install 3.2 kernel and than start from the beginning the process i was working on. the thing is that my wifi is not wrking since i installed ubuntu 12.04. i wrote more details just l ittle bit above here if you want you can see so its more easy to understand [05:02] stainedhat this is the process i was working on earlier when i got a problem on my laptop that the command doesnt work so hitsujiTMO recommended to install 3.2 kernel and start over. link here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104690 [05:03] Are you using network manager or another 3rd party app such as wicd? [05:04] eskrima: ahh gotcha Ok, so where in the process are you getting errors or having problems? [05:05] stainedhat both haha [05:05] the terminal is giving me erros i willpaste for you [05:06] Ok, lemme take a look at the errors and we'll go from there [05:07] stainedhat here the errors when i went to do this cd ~/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508... it gave me this report paste.ubuntu.com/6935047/ [05:07] paste.ubuntu.com/6935047/ [05:08] stainedhat here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6935286/ [05:09] stainedhat someone here earlier said that is failing to compile... [05:09] stainedhat thats why i was suggested to get the 3.2 kernel and go from there [05:10] stainedhat sorry my ignorance but im a begginer in linux [05:10] Yes, it appears to be due to the headers you have installed.. run sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) then try and make it again [05:11] This should install the 3.2 headers [05:11] Tell me what the output of "sudo uname -r" is please [05:11] eskrima: your driver looks good, but your network says: disabled [05:12] eskrima: you sure your network isnt disabled in bios or hardware switch? [05:12] hola [05:12] !es | chikis [05:12] chikis: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [05:12] stainedhat yeah ok so to get out of root and to go to sudo i just type sudo? [05:13] lotuspsychje yeah already checked [05:13] ubuntu-es [05:13] its the laptop tripping out. [05:13] #ubuntu-es [05:13] its disabled by the hardware switch. not even the wifi button doesnt work on the keyboard [05:14] stainedhat so how do i get to sudo// my terminal is currently in root [05:14] If you're in root just run the commands without sudo. [05:14] i used to have sudo before this problem im working on now [05:14] eskrima: try the ##hardware channel to troubleshoot bios wifi options for your machine [05:15] stainedhat but will that prevent me to be better installation as with sudo [05:15] lotuspsychje will try thanks [05:16] Wait what? Sudo is just "superuser do".. root is the superuser in Linux. If you run something with sudo you are basically just telling the system to run it as root. If you're already at a root prompt (#) then sudo is irrelevant [05:16] stainedhat hold on im doing the command as you said with the sudo uname -r ... so i type sudo uname -r exactly like that or my name?? :) [05:17] Type exactly "sudo uname -r" [05:17] stainedhat ooooohhh T.T [05:17] stainedhat ok hold on now will try what you said [05:17] Or uname -r if you're already at a root prompt [05:17] K [05:18] totesmuhgoats: see:http://hyperlogos.org/page/Restoring-Permissions-Debian-System ; http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-40573.html <-confirms we are on the right track.

I don't know why the other person had you downgrade to 3.2 but maybe there is something I don't know. And you're sure you followed all the directions in that post and didn't miss any steps? === Guest79265 is now known as varunendra [05:23] one step i couldn do was cd ~ [05:23] Bashing-om: well the system is a living room system that is fairly static, i'll probably just blow the install away and reinstall since it wouldn't be very much work [05:24] stainedhat that step it didnt allow me to do, it just skipped [05:25] stainedhat do u suggest that i start over from begining [05:25] That just changes directory to your home dir.. are you using Kali Linux? [05:26] no [05:26] stainedhat ubuntu 12.04 lts [05:27] Ok, I noticed Kali in the hostname and wondered.. I would start over from the very beginning and make sure you have all dependencies installed [05:27] stainedhat as you previously saw since i bought a new laptop it came with windows 8 and i very different bios. not gui [05:27] Yeah uefi right? [05:27] stainedhat kali is a hindu goddes and a martial art. but i also learned that is something with thelinux to do [05:28] stainedhat so when i tried all the possible ways to understand the new bios and run as usually everyone is used to run programms and softwares, especially os cd via cd [05:28] Well, there is a security based distro names kali which is what I thought you may be running. It's not super stable which is why I was asking [05:28] hey all, I have an alias that reloads the bashrc (source ~/.bashrc) is there any way to stop it printing to the terminal? [05:29] join #linuxbar [05:29] stainedhat mine wasnt even being recognized. the bios that i got is really poor and only little options [05:29] stainedhat yes [05:29] any idea how to fix this(from boot.log)? start-stop-daemon: unable to chdir() to /home/igor/.couchpotato (No such fil e or directory) [05:29] n^izzo: You could echo the output to /dev/null [05:29] stainedhat are you able to remote and check what is wrong? [05:30] Stainedhat: at the moment I have it going to /dev/null - 'echo "1" > .bashrcpl & source ~/.bashrc 2>/dev/null' [05:30] hi guys [05:31] hey [05:31] im having trouble with magnet links in transmission , when ever i open a magnet link from my browser it pops up an "LAUNCH APPLICATION WINDOW" where i have to select an application [05:31] but what to select , i dont know [05:32] eskrima: I'm on my phone right now but I could probably switch to my desktop in a bit. Try running through the instructions fresh one more time and if it doesn't work I'll try and take a look for you. You'd have to run team viewer or open ssh or something for me to connect though [05:32] dalit, the transmission binary [05:32] dalit: maybe run "which transmission" w [05:33] dalit: sorry hit enter too soon.. run that command then browse to the location it outputs and select the transmission binary [05:33] stainedhat i think i have teamviewr but never used on linux, just windows i know how. ok let me know will wait and try again from the beginning [05:34] dalit: the binary is in /usr/bin/ [05:34] Stainedhat : can u repeat the command clearly in " " [05:35] Yeah team viewer has a .deb for Linux. If you download from their site go to previous versions and get version 8.x for either 32bit or 64bit. Don't download 9 cause my corporate license is only good for 8 [05:35] totesmuhgoats: still an interesting situation to resolve, but not tonight, My brain is turning mushy and I am done for this session. [05:35] dalit: its called transmitssion-gtk [05:36] n^izzo : there is nothing named transmission in my usr/bin [05:36] dalit: run "which transmission" from a terminal and it will tell you where the binary is [05:36] eskrima: which command?; [05:37] stainedhat teamviewer im gettin now? [05:37] Stainedhat : it dosnt returns anything...

I have used it multiple times to downlaod .torrent files in past [05:40] dalit: ok but I dont know that [05:40] Stainedhat : apt-get install transmission [05:40] eskrima: just hover over download and select previous version.. then 8.x on the right hand side.. then choose your .deb package and download it.. from the terminal run "dpkg -i " === duoi_afk is now known as duoi [05:41] ok hold on because im slow here haha [05:41] dalit: open a terminal and type transmiss then hit tab.. whatever that tab completetion produces is the name of the binary.. type "which " [05:42] stainedhat can i hover over v9 first or i should find v8? [05:42] Actually hang on lemme remote to my desktop then I'll find out what the name is [05:42] hi guys, was wondering if you could help me on installing some opengl libs... [05:42] dalit: another option is to do "find / -name transmission-gtk 2>/dev/null" [05:42] kul thanks [05:43] eskrima: hover over the download option at the top of the page.. it should produce another menu that has download "previous versions" [05:43] ok [05:45] dalit: type "which transmission-gtk" that will tell you where the bin is [05:45] n^izzo : it gave http://paste.ubuntu.com/6935392/plain/ [05:46] Stainedhat : refer http://paste.ubuntu.com/6935392/plain/ ,something i found [05:46] stainedhat ok im downloading/saving it now. so next is the command i give to terminal as you said???

NTFS [07:16] _nedr: You're trying to mount your NTFS partition? [07:16] Hi #ubuntu, is there any way I can prevent my files/folders from being deleted accidentally? [07:16] Back it up. :) [07:16] hrolf: Don't use Shift+Delete? ... other than that what Whizkid said. [07:17] Sometimes you're supposed to be deleting just one single file and by chance you delete a folder (which may have thousands of file in it.) [07:17] <_nedr> SonikkuAmerica, yes... i have set it up to automount the Data partition... when i boot from windows to ubuntu... it gets stuck at boot asking to Skip mounting or attempt Manual recovery [07:17] _nedr: What Windows version are you using? [07:17] <_nedr> Windows 8 [07:18] Thats the problem. Same thing here. [07:18] Whizkid: The data is just too much to backup, but not important enough to buy any backup solution (another disk etc.) [07:18] _nedr: Did you turn off Fast Startup, Intel Smart Response Technology, and hibernation? [07:18] <_nedr> SonikkuAmerica, err no i didn't no idea what half of those things are [07:18] _nedr: (Being a Windows 8.1 user I can relate to the heinous process) [07:18] Something like it asks your password for deletion (for a specific folder etc) ? [07:18] <_nedr> I don't use hibernate i just shutdown and restart [07:19] _nedr: I'll walk you through it. First, boot into Windows if you haven't already. (Then rejoin the channel.) [07:19] <_nedr> hrolf, save the important folders as root? [07:19] What's a good file hosting website software package, a la the Gallery photo sharing softare, but for file hosting? [07:19] <_nedr> BentFranklin, UbuntuOne? [07:20] _nedr: Okay. I have a folder which I want to protect, now how do I make it such that no deletion/cut occurs (without asking for password) ? [07:20] _nedr: I want the softare to run on my server. [07:20] But new files may be written. [07:20] _nedr: Are you in Windows now? [07:21] Hello. I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 13.10. It freezes every time it boots up. When I restart, it sort of works, but I get a bunch of general error messages, like there was a problem, do you want to report it or not. Can anyone help me find the reason this happens? [07:21] seriously now. this installer has been hung for 20+ minutes. how can i bypass the ubuntu One screen?? [07:22] Godel: Who knows. Just make sure you run [ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ] to make sure everything is up to date on your system. If they show up again, just hit Cancel. [07:22] <_nedr> SonikkuAmerica, yeah sorry.. but my windows is messed up can't access net [07:22] <_nedr> hrolf : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/869536/linux-directory-permissions-read-write-but-not-delete [07:22] <_nedr> SonikkuAmerica, if you can links to page of instructions that would be fine.. or ill google disabling Fast Startup and Intel smart response [07:23] ok [07:24] _nedr: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6320-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-8-a.html is a good place to start. Also, in an elevated command prompt, run > powercfg -h off [07:24] <_nedr> SonikkuAmerica, Is hibernation an issue when i shut down windows too? [07:24] Quick question, What happens if I recompile an application from source without removing it ? [07:25] wihtout removing the old application* [07:25] _nedr: If you turn off Fast Startup and Ubuntu yells at you about the drive not being ready or present, ping me again. [07:25] <_nedr> SonikkuAmerica, ok thanks for help will do.... [07:27] <_nedr> hrolf, can you understand it? [07:28] _nedr: Yes, got a gist of it. Will do the reading required. [07:28] _nedr: Thanks. [07:28] _nedr: I really don't know about the rights/permissions thing, so reading them too. === joobz is now known as joobie [07:33] video drivers borked my ubuntu install, is there a way to boot to console mode? [07:35] if I can change the grub cfg to text, how do I do update-grub if I'm not booted into it? [07:40] <_nedr> hrolf, reading your requirements again i am not sure that the solution i provided can easily help you... [07:40] <_nedr> oh he is gone [07:41] <_nedr> hrolf, you want a confirmation before deleting a file/folder? === Ozera is now known as Ozera_zz === Ozera_zz is now known as Ozera [07:44] _nedr: Yes for a specific set of folders. [07:44] _nedr: and files. [07:44] <_nedr> but if you do normal delete (without shift) you can recover those from the trash, right? [07:44] _nedr: Like it asks you when you are installing something, a window pop ups and asks you your password. [07:44] _nedr: Yes. [07:44] <_nedr> so you are talking about preventing ctrl+ shift delete? [07:45] <_nedr> sorry shitft+ delete [07:45] _nedr: no preventing, just that it asks for confirmation (like password) before doing so [07:45] _nedr: to prevent accidental deletes === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:46] <_nedr> hrolf you can change the owner to root.. but this will ask you password when you try to write to the file also.. is that a problem? [07:46] hrolf: what's the problem you're actually trying to solve? [07:47] _nedr: What would happen if I'm downloading a file into that folder from Firefox (DownThemAll) ? === James is now known as Guest10457 [07:47] hello [07:47] gordonjcp: Recently, some files were deleted, which I wasn't supposed to delete. I was just typing very fast. [07:48] <_nedr> hrolf .. if you set to root that would be a problem.. it can't write to that folder unless firefox is running as root.. but you DO NOT want firefox to run as root [07:48] _nedr: Exactly. [07:48] Hola [07:48] hrolf: you could alias rm to rm -i [07:48] Im not speaking english [07:48] Know speak spanish? [07:48] gordonjcp: It happened in nautilius, not cmd. [07:49] !es | guest-7yE424 [07:49] guest-7yE424: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [07:49] i have migrated from windows 8. which distro is better to use, mint or ubuntu? [07:49] <_nedr> gordonjcp, that would only work when running rm command.. not when deleting from say nautilus would it? [07:49] hrolf: you could set the sticky bit, but that only prevents users that aren't you from deleting them [07:49] _nedr: yup [07:49] Ubuntu [07:49] so aliasing rm doesn't really help [07:50] Mint is more like windows. [07:50] Ubuntu is better than windows? does it looks like windows 7 or morelike windows 8? can i use it easily? [07:50] hrolf: the problem with asking for confirmation is that Nautilus already does this [07:50] hrolf: you've just muscle-memoried your way past it [07:51] hrolf: if these are text files, keep them in some sort of version control system like git ;-) [07:51] Well! everyone have there own choice. [07:51] Guest10457: try it and see [07:51] but for u i will prefer mint. :) [07:51] gordonjcp: They are books, pdfs. [07:51] Guest10457: I've never used Windows so I can't really make a comparison [07:51] hrolf: keep backups ;-) [07:51] <_nedr> hrolf, then you might want to try ACL which is specified in link i posted earlier : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/869536/linux-directory-permissions-read-write-but-not-delete [07:51] then i will use mint. [07:52] <_nedr> but i am not very familiar with it [07:52] ooooh [07:52] _nedr: Yes, guess I need to read that up then. [07:52] I know what you can do [07:52] go to linuxmint.com now. And enjoy the rollercoaster. ;))) [07:52] hrolf: you want to download the files, then make them never change or be deleted? [07:52] from where can i download antivirus for linux? in windows 7 i have avast and avira. [07:53] hey I want to install GNU radio [07:53] Guest10457: you don't need one, unless you're running a server and want to clean stuff up for Windows userrs [07:53] gordonjcp: yes, deleted, changed only when you provide the password. Just like before installing/updating any software it asks for password. [07:53] U dont dont need one. Windows viruses dont work on linux. :)))) [07:53] in mac book pro.. I dont have dvd [07:53] tc_: good luck, GNU Radio is so horrible to install and use that I ended up writing my own SDR [07:53] hrolf: set it immutable with chattr [07:53] so WAnna use my USB drive to boot it.. Need help..please me out [07:53] hrolf: how often do you change them? [07:53] i have to do assignments and submit monday morning [07:54] Anti-virus companies still offer a linux version.

[07:55] Guest10457: you will need to ask for help in the Mint IRC channel, it cannot be supported here [07:55] Guest10457: I recommend you use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [07:55] Listen one thing. dont apply the rules of windows on linux. [07:55] gordonjcp: Not frequently. They are like download, need rename? then do else no need to change. [07:55] hrolf: okay, then set them immutable [07:56] please tell me whats the procedure to install [07:56] can i double click on a program to install it , like windows? [07:56] tc_: I just gave you a link to full instructions [07:56] Guest10457: use the Ubuntu Software Centre [07:56] Guest10457, the sooner you forget the "windows" way, the easier your ubuntu life will be [07:56] i am very new to linux. i now nothing about it, [07:56] Nope! u have to use the software center.

[08:36] tell us [08:36] I have a pair of Logictech H800 bluetooth headphones. They work fine with my android phone, their paired fine with my laptop running raringing, but the sound is coming out of the speakers, not the headphones. When I run pavucontrol and select the headphones as output, I get no sound on either headphones or speaker.ss [08:36] tc_, ubuntu questions are welcome [08:36] if I boot ubuntu OS via USB [08:37] and then can I install gnu radio in that OS?? [08:37] with ease ? [08:37] tc_, with ease? no. with persistence? maybe [08:37] !persistence [08:37] To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [08:38] You can, but once you reboot, the changes will be lost [08:38] oh oh [08:38] tc_: Live OS or Installed OS? [08:38] lucasredsn0w, so *for my clarification* persistence does NOT allow adding programs to the OS? [08:38] live OS [08:39] Then you may not do that. [08:39] oh [08:39] cfhowlett: I'm not quite sure about what "perisistence storage" can do. [08:39] so only way to do is get a ISO file of GNU radio [08:39] I didn't use it [08:39] and then convert it to img [08:39] tc_, IMG? are you on a mac? [08:39] then boot it from usb drive? [08:40] Yes [08:40] I use mac [08:40] tc_, see - little details matter --- use virtualbox. create box, install to it [08:40] wats that virtual box?

[08:42] And finally I replace gcc with clang+llvm as my system's default complier. [08:42] lucasredsn0w, I've no experience with VMWare. if you can provide guidance ... [08:42] tc_: Right [08:42] . [08:42] cfhowlett: In most cases it's like VirtualBox [08:42] hi.everyone i wanted to know when qemu is running a virtual machine what all functions are called in what sequence... [08:42] But we have to pay some money for it [08:43] Maybe a lot of money, who knows. [08:43] oh oh [08:43] I once experienced it, but now I no longer use it [08:43] Ubuntu is good enough [08:43] admin should i not post my question on here again? [08:43] anyother way to install this gnuradio [08:44] its kiling my time [08:44] clypso, every 10 minutes or so seems reasonable [08:44] I will google it [08:44] ok. im currently going thru the forums you put on here. thank you [08:44] tc_, try virtualbox. free [08:44] Now this is weird... trying the non-bluetooth USb dongle with my H800.

Not sure why hard blocked is on >< arghhh [09:00] clypso, dual booting, yes? [09:00] tester56, I already have pavucontrol. It seems that's the one Xubuntu uses [09:00] simpleuser: then open and go to "output-devices" tab and there you see front left and front right [09:00] tester56, but there's no option like that [09:01] i'll take a picture and show you [09:01] no cfhowlett only ubuntu on here [09:01] simpleuser: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xibS0_Hhld4/T6-yuPSfyGI/AAAAAAAAA2M/ewzkG8cDwuo/s450/xfce-volume-control.png [09:01] tester56, yes, i've got that. [09:01] But i already tested it. It seems it doesn't change the balance === zz_SrRaven is now known as SrRaven [09:02] simpleuser: do you see "Front Left" and "Front Right" [09:02] yes [09:02] clypso, on my Dell, F2 is the hardware switch - in windows. F2 will kill wifi under ubuntu. F2 again should turn it on again but (discovered by accident after 5 years of rebooting/resetting) ALT F2 will do the job. [09:02] tester56, but wheni put to 0 the left one, it doesn't change anything [09:02] it doesn't change the balance [09:02] simpleuser: try to change the Port [09:03] well this is a sony laptop. I installed this dell wireless card on here because my sony wireless card was dieing out [09:03] simpleuser: maybe you are changing the hdmi port, but are not using hdmi [09:03] clypso, so what IS your hardware switch? [09:03] tester56, no, you don't understand :). It works, but not as we want [09:03] I'm having trouble logging in ubuntuforums.org [09:03] its a physical switch on the front [09:03] !forums|mmf, [09:03] mmf,: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org.

[09:04] mmf, goto #ubuntuforums [09:04] oh, ok, thanks [09:04] simpleuser: and it worked? [09:04] tester56, and it doesn't affect the balance. If you put left speaker to 0, it doesn't change anything for the right one. It just shuts down the left one [09:04] And before i have never had problems with the switch. It has worked like a charm [09:04] and you don't hear the sounds that are coming to the left one [09:05] it doesnt't change the balance, so it doesn't put it on mono. It stays in stereo, it's just you don't hear the left sounds [09:05] simpleuser: oh okay, simply forgot about that [09:05] yeah, no prob [09:08] @CFhowlett - It has a switch on the bottom right of laptop. For on and off. Its on "on". I have tried rebooting and playing with switch as well.

[09:16] Is it really needed to install those drivers for my GPU @ my laptop [09:16] justaguy, gpu support out of the box varies widely. some OEM's have decent support. most don't. depends what your needs are. [09:17] Hey ok . No go. Nothing is coming up on wireless network. I did a reboot. Wireless networks is enabled. But showing wireless disconnected because im not connected to any wifi signals. Its not showing any wifi singals either [09:17] cfhowlett did u get what i said? [09:17] clypso_: Which brand of wifi connector do you have [09:18] my connector? MY wireless card? [09:18] nishee, I asked you how they were "locked"? [09:18] I am not sure what you mean @Justaguy [09:18] clypso_: do lscpi and see which one you have [09:18] i have recovered them from my old hard disk n they were locked while recovering [09:19] nishee, your old system was ubuntu?

I can connect to the wireless router but i cannot ping the default gateway or connect to any websites. The router is working since others can connect to it without any troubles and I can also use it form my cellphone [09:22] clypso_: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [09:22] that will install the stuff needed for 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) [09:22] cfhowlett, i've to unistall all... :S i'm scared to say that was bad ... :( [09:22] I had the same problem too when installing ubuntu ages ago :p [09:24] @Justaguy Installed successfully . What now? Reboot computer?

[10:46] on my CentOS server [10:47] bekks: it's a program, that monitors your /var/log/auth.log, so if someone is attacking your ssh , they end up getting blocked [10:48] it adds people to the firewall for a set amount of time [10:49] eg after x failed attempts at SSH, [10:49] exactly [10:49] justaguy: I know what it is for years - but how does it matter if someone in here uses it or not? [10:49] but I'm sure bekks knew what it is :) [10:49] justaguy: ;) [10:50] bekks: ow, i was just wondering :p [10:50] justaguy: SELinux was a different story [10:50] much hair pulling [10:50] * justaguy has no idea what that is [10:50] and much digging through the audit logs [10:51] it adds extra policies to Linux [10:51] For very paranoid people [10:51] so certain apps can only do certain actions [10:51] returning to my q - making sudo eciadsl-config-tk , gives me no such file or directory, but ls shows me it is there (i`m trying to setup dsl modem connection on 13.10) [10:51] justaguy: or people who like secure servers :) [10:51] belgianguy: yep [10:51] what i made wrong?

[10:57] :( [10:58] Wug: mine's 28 chars long, all mixed (alphanum + symbols) and up and lowercase [10:58] Wug use a brain wallet hash [10:58] I can't remember it, have KeePass for that [10:58] hello there [10:58] I have thought about storing hints and hashes so I could remember them [10:59] Maximvm, greetings [10:59] Wug: KeePass allows you to store passwords safely [10:59] Hello Everyone [10:59] hi :) [10:59] first+last digit and hash would be good probably [10:59] I won't use keepass [10:59] I didn't write it. [10:59] do you know some ubuntu software to study and test electric engineering? [11:00] even I don't know some of my longer passwords. I remember them by muscle memory and can't spell them or type them without a qwerty keyboard [11:00] have you used the software center [11:00] Maximvm, ^^^^ this [11:00] has a section on that [11:00] starnix, greetings [11:01] thx a lot [11:01] watching me try to type the password for my bouncer on my phone is hilarious [11:01] you have a bouncer? [11:01] i wonder if there is a irc channel too where i can find some help during the study [11:01] it's even more hilarious when 500 lines of scrollback in 80 channels crashes my phone's irc client [11:01] of course I have a bouncer [11:02] Wug: I don't think I know what bouncer means [11:02] or at least not what I thought it meant [11:02] google znc (or join #znc) [11:02] Maximvm on circuits ?? [11:05] Wug: so an IRC proxy, right? [11:05] it's only a proxy by really vague definitions [11:06] its almost more of a standalone client that just happens to let clients connect to it [11:08] znc is a bouncer, not a proxy, there are some subtle differences there [11:08] it acts as a irc clint and will keep the session open [11:09] it's transparent (sort of anyway) both to the client and the server, but also stateful [11:10] it hides the one-to-many relationship of multiple clients from the server (or the one-to-zero of no clients) [11:10] What channel would be the best place to talk about creating custom stripped down ubuntu live usb images. I want to make a legal tech tool with a bootable o/s of ubuntu on it so that I have an alternative to hirens boot cd. [11:10] AussieDownUnder: here is probably ok [11:11] hi [11:11] wug, Alright sweet. [11:11] I've done something like that before. I don't remember the procedure, but google is very informative and has lots of tutorials [11:11] I suggest finding a tutorial that's reasonably up to date, and following it as closely as possible, and asking if you run into trouble [11:11] AussieDownUnder: protip: use gummiboot/grub or similar for the bootloader, make it into a hybrid image that will work both on a cd and on a usb (and both on uefi and legacy) [11:11] So far I'm pretty content on having wine in the image & portable apps installed as well. [11:12] MrElendig, I'll record that info somewhere if I can. [11:14] AussieDownUnder: the "ubuntu" way of burning image to cd, booting the image, then making a new image using unetbootin then putting that on a usb stick is just *double facepalm* [11:15] mrelendig, I had this ubuntu customisation thing for making custom boot cd's [11:16] mrelendig, Ubuntu customization kit it is called, not sure how good it is but I'm pretty sure it let you use an iso from your hard drive of the ubuntu version you wanted rather than having it on a cd. [11:16] I just installed Ubunto Server ubuntu 12.04.4 server Iand I get this when it boots up: http://i.imgur.com/p4IjLaj.jpg?1 [11:17] AussieDownUnder: iirc it creates a cd only image by default [11:17] though that might have changed, been a while since I looked at it [11:17] MertenNor: I suggest installing a more up to date version [11:18] mrelendig, okay. [11:18] MrElending: 12.04.4 is up to date, it uses 13.10 kernel and x, so it shouldn't be difference in booting [11:18] i want to join french channel [11:18] MrElendig em do you have a link ?

[11:24] Hi i need to lock access to a website on my ubuntu 12.10 how can I do it? [11:25] kgalahassa: the naive way is to dns block it [11:25] kgalahassa: the correct way is to DPI [11:26] semi-naive way is to set up a iptables rule [11:26] MrElendig, I'am just a novice, can you guide me with some commands? [11:26] echo "somedomain.com 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/hosts for the naive way [11:27] er.. other way around [11:27] 127.0.0.1 somedomain.com [11:27] but then they can just enter the ip instead of the hostname and get around it that way [11:28] blocking using iptables is somewhat more reliable, since then you would block access to the IP instead, but ofcourse that can be circumvented by using a proxy/vpn [11:29] I need the dalek channel for ubuntu [11:29] daleks don't get a channel [11:30] EXTERMINATE!

[11:32] um no, more like big distro logo, and stuff on the right side [11:32] Hey there. quick question. whats the best partition type for a hard drive under linux t keep large files ? [11:32] Hebbel, "large"??? anyway, the default is ext4 [11:33] cfhowlett: 45 gb files [11:33] Wug: like here http://i.imgur.com/cl4jzni.jpg [11:33] ext4 will handle those fine [11:33] Hebbel, a single file of 45G size?! time to filter your collection! [11:33] but, you may have issues copying them to NTFS partitions from linux (ntfs drivers perform very poorly) [11:34] ah nope im probably idiot [11:34] Hebbel what happens if you use the default ext4 ? [11:34] Wug: i don't use ntfs so its no iddue [11:34] issue* [11:34] Im just trying to avoid formatting twice [11:37] if i copy binary file to /usr/bin it will be normally working? [11:38] Matriks404, that is not the way files are installed - [11:38] cfhowlett: i have just downloaded screenfetch because it doesnt appear in repos and its only 1 binary file [11:39] !binary|Matriks404, [11:39] Matriks404 there's also dependencies [11:40] MonkeyDust: I downloaded binary file and it's working but i must run it from folder in home dir, and i want it to run without going to path [11:41] nvm i tried it and its working [11:41] Matriks404 then put it in /usr/bin and try to execute it from another dir [11:41] ok [11:41] Matriks404, the download page specifies you can save it anywhere. [11:42] how to add button, to notify-send? i see transmission does that [11:45] RayWizard|2 i guess you want zenity [11:47] RayWizard|2: having a button in a notification popup is a really bad design [11:48] in transmission this button allows me to quickly open relewant download [11:48] in my application i want to be able to see some info i i desire so [11:48] but i want it to be popup so it dosent bother me [11:52] * MrElendig suggests a tray icon [11:57] is there command line command that can create tray icon?

Which problem do you experience using grep? [12:02] I am using grep to scan /var/log/* and it produces error permission denied [12:03] search* [12:03] Matriks404: Then you dont have permission to do so, which isnt a grep problem - but a problem of insufficient privileges. [12:03] but i can open files in this directory [12:04] But not all :) [12:04] for example i can open file dpkg.log but i cant use grep to search in it [12:04] Why not?

[12:06] Matriks404: The second one is an invalid syntax example. [12:06] Thats why it doesnt work. [12:07] bekks: i am pretty sure i saw it somewhere :P [12:07] Matriks404: As an exmaple on how to not do it.

Version 0.97.8+dfsg-1ubuntu4 (saucy), package size 124 kB, installed size 564 kB [12:28] hello. (where) can I get Ubuntu 14.04? I know it is not released yet, but I want to test it. And I cannot find it on the Website. Are there CDs already? [12:28] !trusty|schoppenhauer, [12:28] schoppenhauer,: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 [12:29] Matriks404: I would say should not, but I have seen it few times. [12:29] and i searched on internet and it looks like Ubuntu is using wrong driver [12:29] can we use clamav in ubuntu to scan windows partitions? [12:29] schoppenhauer, you can easily upgrade to it from 13.10 [12:29] Tom1: Yes. [12:30] bekks: will it detect latest windows viruses? [12:30] Tom1: Possibly. This question cannot be answered for any AV solution, as you know. [12:31] bekks: would it detect both windows and linux viruses? [12:32] Tom1: If you actually manage to get a linux virus - maybe. There are no linux viruses in the wild, until yet. === duoi_afk is now known as duoi [12:32] linXea: I would like to test the installers. [12:33] bekks: how big is the clamav software? 50 mb or a lot bigger? [12:33] package size 124 kB, installed size 564 kB [12:34] hey guys, i wanna set steam as startup application. HOW?? [12:34] its only 124 ? how would it detect so many windows viruses? [12:34] How do I can install lib32asound2 [12:34] yash: in startup applications [12:35] yash: if you're using unity i belive you can search program in dash [12:35] the installers are my main interest currently. [12:35] Tom1: it pulls down virus definitions after it's installed - I have no idea how big that file is. I would suggest trying it out. [12:36] heres the thing, steam (somewhat) boosts my pc speed [12:36] i dont want to open it each time [12:36] ok, duckduckgo found http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [12:36] i want to be on the toolbar always (like ubuntu one) [12:37] yash: how can that be? It is pretty resource demanding. [12:38] damn it. i wanted to write a script that reads the history but when i do `history` within the script it just shows nothing. `id` shows me that we both run as root... [12:38] yash: maybe it was/is coincidence :/ [12:38] Could anyone help? [12:38] how can I read the history in a bash script? [12:38] !info lib32asound2 [12:38] Package lib32asound2 does not exist in saucy [12:38] ok which yash are we talkin about? [12:39] interweb: apt-cache lib32asound2 [12:39] Invalid operation lib32asound2 [12:39] is it impossible to open steam automatically on startup? [12:40] how we use fast-track [12:40] interweb, what is your ubuntu version? [12:40] cfhowlett, 13.10 [12:40] interweb: theres a libasound2 package [12:40] there no lib32asound2 [12:40] interweb, not in saucy [12:41] interweb, double check the file name and that you need THAT file [12:41] interweb: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libasound2 [12:42] I wanted to install TeamViewer and it got me that error [12:42] that I don't have that file [12:43] Hello [12:43] is there a CD for the alternate installer, too? I just find server and desktop for 14.04 [12:43] interweb: sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386 is what u searching for [12:44] !alternate [12:44] The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [12:44] and then install that shitty teamviewer :| [12:44] * yeats misses the alternate installer [12:44] There is a server installer. [12:45] Which is basically the same. [12:45] !mini|schoppenhauer, [12:45] schoppenhauer,: 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 [12:46] cfhowlett: and where do I get minimal CDs for 14.04? [12:46] yash069, There were not that package you said [12:46] bekks: yeah - I know ;-) I just liked being able to suggest it to people as a solution to problems due to the graphical installer [12:46] schoppenhauer, daily images [12:46] yeats: Then suggest the server installer. [12:47] bekks: ok gotcha [12:47] interweb2: install the 32-bit version of TeamViewer and you won't have that issue [12:47] can I use the server installer to set up a desktop system, or is there any "low-level"-stuff different on ubuntu server vs desktop? [12:48] that is, if I install the desktop-packages, etc. [12:48] schoppenhauer, you can install the desktop packages on server [12:48] schoppenhauer: yes you can, just select your preferred desktop during the software selection section === o is now known as Guest6852 [12:48] ok thx. [12:49] so the server installer is just a better installer without all the graphical mess. [12:49] schoppenhauer: it's the debian installer, modified for ubuntu [12:49] schoppenhauer, "better"? says who? [12:51] cfhowlett: I like the debian installer. so ... I say it. [12:51] but of course, thats arguable. [12:51] schoppenhauer, okay then. works for you, and that's great. :) [12:51] well, lets hope. === duoi is now known as duoi_afk === Neozonz is now known as Guest71401 [13:13] hi [13:13] hi [13:13] is it possible to tell my system to output more amps on a usb port? [13:14] I could really use 5v at 2amps for charging one of my devices [13:15] Just installed a hd7770 in my machine then booted into ubuntu and it started to lag a bit the mouse pointer would move but a image of it would stay behind in the place it was in and most of the visual effects lagged and were juttery [13:15] Any fixes? [13:16] Shapeshifter: I doubt it, there's a good reason why amps are that low on USB ports :) [13:17] outlet charger (some of those have USB ports as well) might give more though [13:20] belgianguy, I have a pogoplug (it's like a raspberry pi) and I wanted to keep it powered during power outages long enough to have it properly shut down. To do this I would need to use a battery or since I already have a netbook also acting as a server, plug into that. Sadly it is just short of the 2amps my pogo would need to stay powered [13:22] ShapeShifter499: Then you need a small UPS. [13:23] bekks, I only need something for 5v at 2-3amps of power [13:23] all of my devices either already have a battery or are not critical during a power outage [13:23] just that pogoplug [13:23] :/ === xubuntu is now known as Guest47472 [13:27] how to setup "Wipro-Seiko Epson LQ1050+ 24pin dot-matrix printer" in ubuntu 13.10 ? [13:27] Hi, i need some help with c++ . can you help me ? [13:28] Hi, i need some help with c++ . can you help me ? [13:28] ShapeShifter499: as far as understand, usb is only required to provide 100mA, the device may request more current from the port via USB, but the response is limited by hardware [13:28] Deep: try a c channel [13:29] Deep: ##c++ [13:30] humbag: usb1 is 100mA, usb2 is 500mA [13:33] humbag, oh [13:33] alright I'll get that flipping ups [13:33] next month [13:34] oh thanks hitsujiTMO , I forget how old all my kit is, [13:34] how to setup "Wipro-Seiko Epson LQ1050+ 24pin dot-matrix printer" in ubuntu 13.10 ?

[13:37] what? is it legit to do a `vi /etc/crontab` ? isn't it crontab -e ? [13:37] RayWizard|2: soft link it: ln -s /media/qq/Elements /home/qq/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix [13:38] Hi [13:38] /usr/bin/sudo apt-get-install sysstat gives me the information that some packages couldn't be verified. What's going on? [13:38] Hi [13:38] I'm using the official Ubuntu repository [13:38] What? [13:38] what I wrote [13:38] There is no official repo [13:39] If there is, please give me a link [13:39] .) [13:39] :) [13:39] LeMike: if you mess up with a crontab then you can break your system. thats why you use crontab -e. it sanitises your changes in case you made a mistake [13:39] alumnoeps: enough of your trolling [13:39] Ubuntu doesn't have the official repository? How would it be possible [13:39] But please, can somebody tell me why I am given that information? [13:40] MarkDavies: hes a troll [13:40] MarkDavies: Ignore the troll, it is in the repo's === dramas is now known as jadne [13:40] I'm just trying IRC, because I have to implement a server in C [13:40] thanks hitsujiTMO . someone used it on our system -.- just wanted to know so I can slap him with a large trout [13:41] Sorry for those little trolls [13:41] hitsujiTMO DJones: OK, but why can't these packages be verified? I think it shouldn't happen [13:41] LeMike: as long as he doesn't make a mistake then it will work, its just bad practice to modify it directly [13:41] jep. that's what I'm about to say him ;) thanks [13:42] MarkDavies: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update [13:42] MarkDavies: It could be a problem with server that those repo's are in, it might be worth running "sudp apt-get update" first, then retrying to install, if that doesn't work, it might be worth changing to a different server [13:42] s/sudp/sudo/ [13:44] MarkDavies: are you getting something along the lines of: W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com saucy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192 with sudo apt-get update???

[13:58] Hebbel: whats the output of: cat /sys/block/sda/sda1/size [13:59] or, wait. TJ- already asked for that info [13:59] afternoon hitsujiTMO :) [13:59] hello [13:59] hello [14:00] hello [14:00] hitsujiTMO: output is 2 [14:00] Hebbel: thats a 1 kb partition [14:01] hello, I've just installed 13.10 and my graphics and very slow and flickering [14:01] hitsujiTMO: its a 2TB hd. i think the partition is now sda5 [14:01] Hi is there any way to sync an iPod nano 6G with ubuntu 12.04? [14:02] Hebbel: then mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda5 [14:02] Hebbel: sda1 must be an extended partition, and sda5 is the logical partition in that [14:02] hitsujiTMO: did mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda5 then mkdir /disk1 then mount /dev/sdb1 /disk1 ... still cant see the disk in my computer [14:02] Hebbel: If you're not sure, be cautious! Check. Check. and check again! [14:03] frenchy here [14:03] TJ its a new drive ... and the workstation has no data I could lose ... [14:03] m: cool [14:03] Hebbel: that sould be mount /dev/sda5 /disk1 then cd /disk1; ls [14:04] :-) [14:04] Hebbel: sda5 then sdb1?

I can ls, and i get : lost+found [14:05] Hebbel: thats the drive then [14:05] hitsujiTMO: how come i cant see it in my computer ? [14:05] Hebbel: you can, open nautilus. go to /disk1 [14:06] Hebbel: its not showing as a "seperate drive" in nautilus as it is a native filesystem.

[14:27] anybody got nvidia optimus working with ubuntu? [14:27] cuddylier: Downloading a file to "nothing" is pretty nonsense, isnt it? [14:27] AussieDownUnder: yes [14:27] bekks Not if I want to test my download speed [14:27] AussieDownUnder: you must missed a great event: http://linux.conf.au [14:28] carlfk, are they more likely to be online? I wonder if I could do it at uni/tafe here in Australia [14:28] cuddylier: "wget -O - >/dev/null" [14:29] T3 Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. [14:29] That's in Western Australia, way way way way away from me. I'm in QLD, opposite side to WA [14:29] AussieDownUnder: If you want online course, I'd highly recommend spending time in this channel, #ubuntu-server, and ##linux ... and maybe experimenting with the problems and solutions (and the commands) you see [14:30] carlfk^ [14:30] AussieDownUnder: your best bet is to find a local group who you can chat with to get a feel for what you are looking for. "I want to surf the web" is a very different goal from "I want to write a device driver to interface to this high end" [14:31] carlfk, lol yeah I don't need web surf help haha, I was thinking more a long the line of o/s support & running ubuntu servers. [14:31] AussieDownUnder: lca moves around each year, and there are smaller events everywhere. hanging out here is good. having projects you are interested in and trying to do it is good [14:32] AussieDownUnder: running a server is easy: install, disconnect from the internet, make sure the power light is on. :p [14:33] carlfk, lol. Does Ubuntu Server Support running steam game servers & other game servers? [14:35] Hi, I am running thunderbird, but it suddenly closes without any warning! I run it via cmd, and this time it gerentated some errors. Does anybody know what should I do? (It is 24.2.0) [14:35] mojtaba: Pastebin the errors :) [14:36] AussieDownUnder: Ubuntu Server is really just Ubuntu without anything other than what you need to install other packages. so it has the disk/file stuff, users, networking and the apt package system. no clue what it takes to install steam or such [14:36] mojtaba: Do the same errors occur if you do "thunderbird -safe-mode" [14:36] Restarted your pc lately? [14:36] bekks: ok [14:36] TJ-: I have not tested safe-mod [14:36] e [14:37] how to setup "Wipro-Seiko Epson LQ1050+ 24pin dot-matrix printer" in ubuntu 13.10 ?

When it seg-faults do "bt" (backtrace) and pastebin the output. Do "quit" to close the debug session. === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [14:51] HI, I have USB 4 channel DVR, Easycapture, Is it possible to use that dvr with linux machine, Is there any application in linux that can show that 4 cameras connected to that usb dvr? === dormito is now known as dormito|sleep === geudrik|away is now known as geudrik [14:59] Hello [15:00] I'm a bit confused, I'm actually removing "vim-tiny" as I want full version of vim. But what should I get? "vim" only or "vim-gnome"? What's the difference? [15:00] Maurice_la_sauci: I use vim-nox but can't remember why... [15:00] where does ubuntu(linux in common) get dns setting if there's no resolv.conf file? [15:01] it's docker image, inside there's no resolv.conf [15:01] so how does it know where to look? [15:01] Maurice_la_sauci: this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/281886/what-is-the-difference-between-the-different-vim-packages-available-in-ubuntu [15:01] Anton_, might be added to /etc/network/interfaces === anup11894_ is now known as anuprai11894 [15:03] thank you somsip, I'm under gnome classic so I guess I'll go with vim-gnome so. Therefore "vim" only is more for "Unity"? :/ [15:04] Maurice_la_sauci: not really sure. I got the advice for vim-nox from somewhere I forget. There will be more comparison charts out there like that link I sent if you research more [15:06] Maurice_la_sauci: "vim" is the standard terminal version (doesn't require an X server) [15:06] TJ-: I don't get it, so what should I get? [15:07] Maurice_la_sauci: are you looking for a graphical editor, or a terminal editor/ [15:07] Maurice_la_sauci: most vim users will work at the terminal, that's vim's strength. In GUIs there are other options, besides the vim variations [15:07] I don't need graphical interface, just terminal [15:08] oh so "vim-gnome" is a graphical interface like "GVim" is? [15:08] Maurice_la_sauci: To see the full range of options listed, do "apt-cache search ^vim" ... to check out each one do "apt-cache show " [15:10] Maurice_la_sauci: also if you're looking for an advanced editor, there's always emacs [15:11] hitsujiTMO: no thank you, I used to use Vim on macosx so I'll stick with it, just don't know if "vim-gnome" is a graphical interface or just a compatibility with my "gnome classic" [15:13] Maurice_la_sauci: thats a graphical interface. [15:14] TJ-: after running gdb --args thunderbird, and run in gdb cmd prompt: it gaves: (gdb) run [15:14] Starting program: No executable file specified. Use the "file" or "exec-file" command. [15:15] mojtaba: ahhh, is "file $(which thunderbird)" a POSIX shell file? === adrian is now known as Guest19306 [15:16] TJ-: I don't know! [15:16] mojtaba: Use the command and see what it tells you! [15:16] mojtaba: If so, the thunderbird script takes the "-g" argument to run under the debugger [15:16] good morning ubuntu's people [15:17] mojtaba: So, you can do it by simply "thunderbird -g" === jim is now known as Guest30502 [15:17] TJ-: /usr/bin/thunderbird: symbolic link to `../lib/thunderbird/thunderbird.sh' [15:19] TJ-: should I still use gdb?

Are you sure you don't have another instance already running? [15:26] TJ-: I am running thunderbird and chatting with you with another instance. [15:26] TJ-: I mean chatting using thunderbird [15:27] mojtaba: Well that explains it, if you try to run it a 2nd time it won't happen, otherwise one instance would overwrite data of the other [15:27] mojtaba: This is what you'd expect to see as thunderbird starts using gdb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6937741/ [15:28] What is the ACK flag bit in the TCP/IPv4 header for? [15:28] TJ-: I will exit this instance of thunderbird and then come back again with new one. [15:28] mojtaba: You need to quit thunderbird entirely, then restart it using "thunderbird -g" then telling gdb to "run" ... then use Thunderbird until it seg-faults, at which time return to the terminal and do "bt" to grab the backtrace [15:29] TJ-: ok, thanks [15:31] TJ-: I am now running it. when thunderbird stopped working, I should type bt in gdb cmd, yes? [15:32] hello guys! [15:33] I have a small question to ask you... [15:34] mojtaba: yes. If that doesn't reveal enough, we'd then install the debug symbols packages for thunderbird and its libraries, and do it all over again. The -dbgsym packages reveal every function and argument name, and is very useful for developers trying to fix bugs [15:34] TJ-: Thank you very much for your help === Ozera is now known as Ozera_zz === hianhif is now known as Zapp [15:40] well I now have more data on my fonts issue: if there's a fonts.conf file in my .config/fontconfig, then all programs display fonts incorrectly, not just GTK+ programs - this happened in the past, but at least now deleting fonts.conf fixes the KDE programs (which didn't happen before) - lack of fonts.conf, however, does not fix the GTK+ programs from rendering fonts incorrectly... Does KDE not use fontconfig by default or something? [15:44] pietro10: in what way are the fonts rendering incorrectly.can you provide a screenshot? [15:46] Is it normal that the grub2 screen on ubuntu shouldn't "fill" the screen? [15:47] pietro10: there's also ~/.fonts/ which is deprecated. KDE may still be using the old config folder [15:47] ubuntu13: depends on the gpu and if grub can detect its capabilities [15:49] hitsujiTMO: there is no ~/.fonts/; this is a fresh install [15:49] hitsujiTMO, Ubuntu has finally properly detected the gpu and the monitor.

I created a second user and I can log in with it, so this is something with my session: how to debug? 2. When I press A+C+F1, the screen goes black for a second and then I'm back to the gdm screen.

And I get see from ubuntu a channel 13 Hotspot. Isn't that related ? Why ubuntu do not set that crda to france ? [16:12] shwouchk: my questions are direct. When have they been indirect? [16:13] ActionParsnip: done [16:13] shwouchk: su to your user, then run: sudo chown -r $USER:$USER $HOME [16:13] ActionParsnip: I mean like it was clearer when you just asked whether I used GUI programs via sudo rather than giving an example of a command (i.e. sudo nautilus) [16:13] sabestion: itbwill take a while to run [16:13] ok [16:14] so it will autorun later? [16:14] ActionParsnip: ~ contains two files owned by root: .ICEAuthority and .XAuthority. Could they have been the culprits?

[16:16] erm.. it's asking me if i want to continue as it will use additional disk space. [16:16] TJ-: Yes [16:16] sabestion: say yes if asked [16:16] ActionParsnip: I asked about skype command line -- skype wants to use firefox -- i want to have it use chrome without changing my system default browser [16:16] ActionParsnip: 0. Thanks! 1. You're being overly dramatic (I'm not breaking the "OS"). 2. nvidia-settings instructed me to run a command as root... [16:17] ActionParsnip: you are right, thanks! [16:17] brb [16:17] shwouchk: if itnwasnt broken you wouldnt be asking for help and your user would be able to log in. [16:17] shwouchk: its why you use gksudo for GUI apps and the OS doesnt break [16:18] ActionParsnip: my OS isn't broken, I have a problem with my session. You are being dramatic again [16:18] had [16:18] I'm back in, thanks again ActionParsnip [16:18] shwouchk: not working equals broken [16:18] shwouchk: no worries, glad you got the gold [16:19] ActionParsnip: if the OS wasn't working we wouldn't be speaking, as I have 1 computer only [16:19] shwouchk: ok not working fully. [16:19] ActionParsnip: Do you happen to know why Alt+Ctrl+F1 doesn't work as intended? [16:20] shwouchk: not sure, its a default thing in all Linuxes to switch TTY [16:20] mojtaba: That bug was one I worked on ages ago, and eventually figured out the root cause. At that time we (Ubuntu devs) thought it was only affecting that obscure package, but searching the bug reports shows a lot of applications affected, now including Thunderbird. As far as I can tell, it seems the issue happens when you have a lot of (large) GUI objects allocated in memory, and there is no longer a large enough block available to do vector processing on. [16:20] shwouchk: if you have only one computer how can you SSH to it? [16:21] ActionParsnip: ssh user@localhost from the guest account [16:22] shwouchk: ahh makes sense [16:22] Didn't work.

Thats what this channel is for [16:26] oh [16:26] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [16:26] no-one have anu idea's? [16:26] is correctness more important than good manners sir!?

Then I also tried to turn both screens on and it works but I can't move the cursor to the external monitor. Anybody with idea what am I suppose to do? Maybe install ad [16:27] ditional drivers? [16:28] sabestion: what for? [16:28] jozefk: did you install bumblebee? [16:28] ActionParsnip, no. nothing [16:28] shwouchk: you'll need bumblebeebto support that Oprimus mess [16:28] it says dropbox requires nautilus to be restarted to function properly [16:29] Djones: yeah it depends on hal.

[16:29] ActionParsnip: It isn't primus, this is with an actual hardware switch [16:30] is there a development channel? [16:30] Anyone using nginx 1.5.x and ngx_purge_cache? I need feedback on the stability of the module.. [16:30] jozefk: no idea. Im avoiding Optimus like Paris Hilton avoids talent [16:31] ActionParsnip: it's not responding? [16:31] ActionParsnip, I have no choice. That's what I got so that's what I have to use [16:31] sabestion: it has restarted, just keep going :-) [16:31] oh ok thanks a lot ActionParsnip [16:32] running lighthttpd on ubuntu server 12.04. Anyone know about any web gui? I do prefer the command line, but would like to check it out. [16:32] chrillster, webmin? [16:33] Chrillster: phpmyadmin maybe.... [16:33] !webmin | maddeth [16:33] maddeth: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [16:33] jozefk: do you have a hardware button to switch between nvidia and intel, or is it all software? [16:33] oh, sorry maddeth forgot to say, not webmin. [16:33] ActionParsnip will check it out. [16:33] maddeth: what do you see in lspci? [16:33] Thanks [16:33] shwouchk, no hardware button. and I can't disable optimus in BIOS [16:33] bekks, thanks, didn't know that, [16:34] jozefk: damn (I was hoping we have similar systems) [16:34] :) [16:34] shwouchk, want a pastebin?

[16:35] all other distros are still miles away from what I got with 12.04.4 [16:35] jozefk: miles away in what sense? [16:36] ActionParsnip, I can't even come close to get the HDMI working [16:36] shwouchk, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6938096/ [16:37] Jozefk: ive heard folks have good Optimus support in Suse and Fedora. [16:37] I tried fedora. I installed it too. was not able to get it working at all [16:37] ActionParsnip, hwinfo is removed from ubuntu. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/amd64/hwinfo :( [16:38] opensuse haven't even try. [16:38] Ubuntu13: yeah it depends on hal [16:38] ActionParsnip, hmmmph. [16:38] shwouchk, do you think I have to install additional, proprietary drivers? [16:39] !seen thomas [16:39] I have no seen command [16:39] Is it recommended to install ubuntu 11 if 12 is not working on my old notebook? I'm not sure if 11 will work either, all I know is that Windows XP has worked. [16:39] lates new breivik joins debian devs to play fps for free [16:39] OMFG [16:40] soahccc: 11 is unsupported. Install 10.04, install a non-PAE kernel, and upgrade to 12.04 then. [16:40] jozefk: optimus/primus/switchable is not very worked on afaik, I try to set it up here from time to time w/o much success. You might want to search for bumblebee and/or vga_switcheroo [16:41] Bekks: if you use 12.04 minimal you can install on Non PAE CPU [16:41] ActionParsnip: Ah, googd to know. [16:41] bekks: PAE was one issue but I also had problems with the video card. I tried some fork (xubuntu) which does not need PAE but the monitor wasn't detected correctly as I had a soup of pixels [16:41] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html [16:42] maddeth: doesn't seem like it is listed. How about lsusb? [16:42] soahccc: Then you have to install the graphics drivevr correctly instead of using an unsupported release :) [16:42] soahccc: grab the 12.04.0/1 iso then [16:43] Soahccc: install minimal iso then the ubuntu-desktop package on there, or install lxde and lightdm for a super light desktop [16:43] bekks: Well I would try if I could see a thing but there is just random pixels :) [16:43] soahccc: you could start in textmode, e.g. [16:44] shwouchk, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6938162/ there you go :) thanks [16:45] shwouchk, I think it is bound to be the MS Corp ones, but no idea which one or how to test it [16:47] jozefk: Can you pastebin "xrandr -q" [16:47] maddeth: it appears that it is the 045e:xxxx devices (as those are listed on windows touch devices here: https://wiki.debian.org/DeviceDatabase/USB) [16:48] TJ-, http://pastebin.mozilla.org/4300648 [16:49] maddeth: and I also have a wireless usb keyboard/mouse combo that starts with 045e [16:49] jozefk: So you've got a desktop across the LVDS and a VGA monitor? [16:50] I got a red icon on top right corner and it says "Restart to complete updates..." What kind of updates? I haven't update anything if I remember good [16:50] TJ-, what is LVDS? I don't use VGA I need only HDMI [16:50] jozefk: Automatically installed updates. [16:50] jozefk: "LVDS1 connected primary 1366x768+0+0" and "VGA-2 connected 1024x768+1366+0" [16:51] shwouchk, 046d:c517 Logitech is my keyboard/mouse :) [16:51] TJ-, there is nothing connected on VGA. I have only 1 external monitor connected to HDMI [16:51] maddeth: I don't really know what to do further, but I suspect that this device communicates similarly to a mouse, and would therefore look for info on how to write something to interface a mouse. If you are in luck it might be as simple as telling HAL/udev that this device is a mouse (but I'm out of my depth here). Good luck! [16:51] LVDS1 must be then the LCD on laptop [16:52] jozefk: Correct, LVDS = Low Voltage Differential Signalling [16:52] jozefk: But that output shows there is a VGA output and it is being used. [16:52] I have VGA right but nothing is attached to it [16:53] hi, there's this Java console I want to access on my VPS control panel. What should I install for that? Simply java-common ? [16:53] jozefk: I'm not sure how your particular chipset works but most single/multiplexed GPU systems will only support *two* simultaneous outputs at once, which is what you have got. [16:53] jozefk: maybe it is something to do with the optimus chipset? [16:53] jozefk: however, you could try using xrandr to disable VGA-2, then try enabling HDMI-1 [16:54] TJ-, can I disable/turn off the VGA and turn on the HDMI? [16:54] how? [16:55] jozefk: "xrandr --output VGA-2 --off" then "xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto" [16:55] I loaded ccsm and then on propmting loaded open gl and now everything is gone . how do I get back unity ? [16:56] ubuntu 12.04 [16:58] TJ-, it's working now. but the graphics on HDMI are not good and there is a delay. it's slow. if I move the window around or the cursor I see like a tail on the screens [16:58] jozefk: That's probably the whole Optimus issue, can't help you there [16:59] jozefk: I'd guess it is using the low-power GPU right now and it is struggling [16:59] shwouchk, thanks, it's not going to be easy! it's not really "touch" screen as it can read the depth too [16:59] what is the filesystem type of the boot.img and system.img? [16:59] when I try to mount it on linux as: mount -o loop boot.img /mnt is say you must specify the filesystem type [16:59] TJ-, maybe I have to install nvidia drivers? [17:00] TJ-, can I turn off LVDS1 with xrandr and to have only HDMI working? [17:02] I turned off LVDS1 but the HDMI is still not good enough [17:03] if you install nvidia drivers the whole thing will break [17:03] you'll need to follow an optimus guide [17:04] optimus guide? where can I find that? [17:07] hello eveyrone [17:07] in very bad [17:08] lost unity and now the launcer is gone and none of the shortcuts work [17:08] the stupid ccsm botched everything [17:09] better if I reboot first coz of updates [17:09] what should I do [17:11] Will Unity 8 be released before Ubuntu 14.10?

There is nothing more needed to know. === root_ is now known as Guest57668 [17:21] RexInEffect: Depends on what's in the file-systems - if its configuration files or executables (such as a file-system for /usr/ or /var/) then 'sharing' them for OS use is not a good idea. Sharing them as 'data' file-systems is fine [17:23] Can anyone link me to somewhere usefull for dual booting ubuntu onto a macbook air? [17:24] TJ-: Thanks, I try lubuntu-non-pae then.

[17:40] mangavalk: Depends on the array type [17:40] mangavalk: And depends on the error type. [17:40] say i use a raid 5, with 5 sata controllers and 20 drives. [17:40] mangavalk: Having a backup, the array may fail. [17:41] Hi. Does someone know if there is a tool like http://www.cockos.com/licecap/ for ubuntu/linux ? [17:41] TJ-: When I go into advanced options I only have "Back…", "Expert Install", "Command-Line expert install" and "rescue mode"… No settings for my understanding [17:41] RAID6 would be better, with that number of drives, or RAID4 (dedicated parity drives(s)) [17:41] mangavalk: Thats pretty unsmart, due to the massive traffic on the PCI bus. [17:41] im just overthinking my server upgrade. is the chance that a sata controller fails large? im going to upgrade to raid 6 then btw. [17:42] soahccc: You'll have to explore the options, I've not touched that in years. I think there's a key you can press (F6?) that allows editing the kernel command-line options [17:42] if i load ubuntu in gnome classic am I still using compiz? i dont like unity w/ compiz [17:42] im not using the pci for anything else [17:42] mangavalk: Better think of having backups, instead of controllers. [17:42] impossible: you might have 2 additional login options for gnome classic, the one mentioning 'no effects' is without compiz [17:42] mangavalk: And a raid striped over 5 controllers will max out the pci bus. [17:43] TJ-: Okay thanks. I choose expert install and I had a readable selection for the video mode. I choose 800x640 resolution for now and see the installation screen. I hope I can have a better resolution after the installation :< [17:43] glitsj16, thanks a lot [17:43] 1 controller is on the mobo the other 4 will be on pcie 2 4x [17:43] mangavalk: Then its nonsense. [17:44] mangavalk: Better get ar real HW controller. [17:44] i dislike hardware raid controllers. i prefer mdadm [17:44] hi, does anyone else have heat problems with the 3.13.2 kernel on precise? psensor reports an idle cpu temperature around 50 °C with the 3.11.0 kernel, but around 70 °C with the 3.13.2 kernel. [17:44] mangavalk: Well, your choice then. I consider your setup to be failing by design. [17:45] mangavalk: Why do you dislike hardware raid controllers? [17:45] because if a hardware raid controller fails you need to find a new one of the same type. and mdadm isnt dependable on the controller type. [17:46] If the hardware controller dies, it is more difficult and expensive to recover quickly especially if budget is an issue [17:46] mangavalk: Have a backup. Then the outage of the controller is irrelevant. [17:47] okay. can we talk a little about the backup then? advice for a home user to backup 60 tb of data? (home user / home programmer) [17:47] Harware has no word. It will eventually fail it is a matter of redundancy that will keep your system (as in full information system) from comming to a stand still. [17:47] !backup | mangavalk [17:47] mangavalk: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [17:48] mangavalk: Unless you have a backup, you dont need mdadm, whatever at all - without a backup your data can be safely considered to be not worth to be kept. [17:48] thanks. i will take a look at them. for 60 tb tape drive is the only way to backup right? [17:48] No. [17:48] There are no tapes that size. [17:49] i have seen tape drives that store ~23 tb, so if i use multiple it would be fine right? [17:49] hi [17:49] Hi I have been following this guide for the past hour http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php and am still not able to copy from my schools remote server to my local. [17:49] mangavalk: There are no such tapes. [17:50] mangavalk: Even LTO6 is about 2.5TB only. [17:50] okay, i dont have much expirience on tape drive backup and large system backups. what would be a good way to backup 60tb? [17:51] MeepDude: Need help? [17:51] yes [17:51] scp your_username@remotehost.edu:foobar.txt /some/local/directory [17:51] mangavalk: how do you store 60tb of data today? [17:51] i am following that command inserting my own stuff but it says my local directory doesn't exist [17:51] mangavalk: A full blown backup solution, capable of different staging areas and a tape library with at least 4 drives. Calculate with about 30k$ for the hardware only. [17:52] MeepDude: You need username@host.tld:/path/to/file [17:52] i dont store it now, its a upgrade plan. at the moment i store ~20 tb on raid 5, will move soon to raid 6 [17:52] MeepDude: ls /some/local/directory [17:52] mangavalk, cheapest way is backup to anther 60TB array. Tape is cool, but too small and expensive for that [17:52] okay let me try it [17:52] mangavalk: That doesnt affect the above. [17:53] scp vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:foobar.txt /home [17:53] no such file exists [17:53] on the remote i created foobar.txt but it will not copy over [17:53] 30k$ wouldnt be affordable for me. side note: arround 1tb must have daily backup. the other can have a backup one a month. [17:53] MeepDude: vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:/home/vum646/foobar.txt . [17:54] MeepDude: scp user@remoteserver:/full/path/to/your/file.txt /home/localuser/ [17:54] MeepDude: You need to specify the entire path on the remote server [17:54] MeepDude: what about file/folder permissions [17:54] MeepDude: your line forces foobar.txt to be on the users home directory to be able to copy it. and unless you are root you will not be able to write it to /home [17:55] mangavalk: If you cant afford 30k$ for those tapes, just forget about them. And since you want up to 60tb to be backuped, you need at least 60tb backup space. [17:55] try to copy it to ./ [17:55] scp vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:/home/vum646/foobar.txt /home vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu's password: /home/foobar.txt: No such file or directory [17:55] would a second raid 6 array (duplicate) be a good backup place? [17:55] MeepDude: That error message cant be produced by the command given. [17:55] ugh [17:55] MeepDude: try vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:foobar.txt ./ [17:55] MeepDude: onec again you need to be root to do it , or be the owner of that directory [17:55] hello [17:56] yo [17:56] why is ubunut so awful? [17:56] MeepDude: you need a second computer, second array, etc. [17:56] Gnarl: how is it [17:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6938560/ [17:56] gnarl: ubuntu isnt awfull.... [17:56] MeepDude: that was for mangavalk [17:56] problem is output file is empty :( what to do? [17:56] mangavalk: you need a second computer, second array, etc. [17:57] okay now it says it copied foobar but where? [17:57] bekks: so a duplicate system + array would be a good backup? (rsync) [17:57] MeepDude: So.. you need to specify the entire path, where your user have access to. If in home folder that is /home/username/foobar.txt [17:57] MeepDude: type pwd [17:57] @Gnarl... try Windows 8.1 for awhile... that's an awful OS. [17:57] it is /home/vum646 [17:57] gcleric: :D ^ [17:57] that will tell you your present working directory that is where that line copied it. [17:58] mangavalk: It would be a usable backup space - it's quality depends on your backup strategy. And for 60tb, thats nothing that can be discussed in a few minutes. [17:58] please can anyone help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6938560/ [17:58] MeepDude: ls will show the list of all the files on your machine === Guest42680 is now known as lukemorrison [17:58] so in full what should i type, on my local i have a folder /FORTRAN inside /home/wesley/Home/ [17:58] MeepDude: I gave you an example. [17:59] TLF /tmp/fmtutil.ajbje5zN pon lo en un pastebin. Desconozco más de ese programa [17:59] bekks: thanks. one last question, what is the change a sata controller will fail? [17:59] no i get that but look what happened [17:59] scp vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:foobar.txt ./home/wesley/Home/FORTRAN vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu's password: ./home/wesley/Home/FORTRAN: Not a directory [17:59] mangavalk: Depends on your hardware, etc. [17:59] tharkun: el problema es que ese fichero, está vacío :( [17:59] maveas: what makes you think you need an absolute path to scp from your remote home directory? [17:59] Got a sound card issue: Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (CA0110-IBG) not working. [17:59] MeepDude: Thats not even near the example I gave you. [17:59] n-st: makes it easier for the noob.. it thought.. [17:59] s/it/I [17:59] bekks: highpoint rocketraid. i think it is a good brand. [18:00] MeepDude: sudo scp /pathe to where you want to store it [18:00] TLF: empieza de cero otra vez [18:00] maveas: err... nope. [18:00] n-st: whatever [18:00] mangavalk: Highpoint are the worst controllers ever. ever ever ever. [18:00] tharkun: como? [18:00] mangavalk, for the risk of getting rocks thrown at me, google freenas, build your own, duplicate the drives, backup via the lan. The drives will cost you the most. [18:00] maveas: his home dir might not even be in /home, depending on what wicked config the school uses [18:00] TLF: Repite el proceso desde cero [18:00] bekks: oh really?! :( [18:00] tharkun: ok [18:00] mangavalk: Get hardware raid controllers. [18:00] bekks i tried that and it didn't work [18:00] MOTHERFUCKERS [18:00] I WILL SUCK MY DICK IN YOUR ASS [18:01] what is a good brand for sata controllers? [18:01] MeepDude: You did not, at least you didnt post it in here. [18:01] YOU ALL WILL BE HACKED NOW [18:01] MeepDude: LSI e.g. [18:01] n-st: You don't need to tell me.. I was just guessing which might have been a lot easier to help him.. [18:01] what is this error about??? http://i.cubeupload.com/yZRSpy.png, i keep seeing it for a few days (13.04) [18:01] kongthap: 13.04 is EOL. [18:01] bekks: where is MeepDude getting stuck on this [18:02] whoever: On the correct syntax for scp. [18:02] MeepDude: can you ssh to the box [18:02] whoever: Yes. [18:02] i am sshed in [18:02] bekks: so highpoint sucks, which brand should be userd? lsi/3ware? [18:02] bekks scp vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:foobar.txt /home/wesley vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu's password: /home/wesley: No such file or directory [18:02] Hello, I need some help mounting my Windows partition under Linux. [18:02] here's my /etc/fstab and blkid: http://pastie.org/8736684 [18:02] line 13 is the same I use to mount this partition under LMDE on the same laptop, except the LMDE one has UUID instead of the LABEL. I also tried that first in Petra, but it didn't work so now I replaced it with LABEL, which isn't working either. I must have gone through those man pages like a dozen times now, but values for options, dump and pass are just different each time, I can't figure out which ones I need. [18:02] mangavalk: I just told you. [18:02] so again i ran the thing but nope [18:02] bekks, what is EOL? :( [18:02] MeepDude: Thats not even near the example I gave you. [18:02] kongthap: 13.04 [18:03] MeepDude: do locate foobar.txt on the remote box (or if you are in the current directory where the file is located do a pwd) [18:03] MeepDude: Then use that path to the remote server on scp [18:03] bekks: thanks. didnt see it. so much messages here. il look at them [18:03] MeepDude: You will eventually need to read the man page of scp with man scp that will give you all the possibilities to play with it [18:04] MeepDude: Make sure you are in a directory with write access on your local computer/terminal and then do the scp there. (scp username@remote:/path/foobar.txt .) [18:04] scp vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:/home/vum646/foobar.txt /home/wesley [18:04] MeepDude: The . (dot) means current directory [18:04] and i tried the locate and nothing came up [18:04] MeepDude: Do that from your local computer. [18:04] bekks, i must upgrade or what? [18:04] kongthap: Yes. [18:04] Where's you learn your trade you stupid fucking cunt? Who ever told you you could work with men? [18:04] MeepDude: Did you want to download a remote file or upload a local file? [18:05] bekks, this is normal for version which isn't LTS right? [18:05] Gnarl: Can you please watch your language? === Gnarl is now known as Gnar [18:05] so download from remote to local [18:05] kongthap: Thats notmal for 13.04, which is end of life meanwhile, yes. [18:05] MeepDude: Does the file exist on the remote host? [18:05] and again nothing is working [18:05] how do I check what graphics I'm using? [18:05] MeepDude: No. scp from remote to local. [18:05] yes i checked the file dose [18:05] MeepDude: Define "nothing is working". [18:05] MeepDude: Do you have read access to the remote file? [18:05] bekks, i meant if i upgrade to 13.10 one day it will be EOL too right? [18:06] kongthap: 13.10 isnt EOL yet. [18:07] i don;t know whether i have read access [18:07] MeepDude: is there a max num of concurrent log on-s allowed for that account on the server [18:07] MeepDude: then ssh into the remote server and check that. [18:07] still everything i amtrying is not coppying it over to my local [18:07] i am sshed in [18:07] MeepDude: what is the ipaddress and directory of the remote box [18:07] MeepDude: From where did you try to scp? [18:07] whoever: It doesnt matter which IP it is. [18:07] my virtual machine [18:08] i changed the timezone with `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` and the time and date was fine until i rebooted. how do i keep the timezone over reboots? [18:08] bekks: it does if it is a school server he is tring to hit and he is at home [18:08] i'm usinging ubuntu precise btw === sid is now known as Guest94472 [18:08] i am at home [18:08] bekks: i was gonna give him the entire line - user and pass [18:09] whoever: HE got that several times now. [18:09] ah [18:09] yes and each time it didn't work bekks [18:09] it is probably the schools doing [18:09] MeepDude: because you used the wrong syntax all the time - as had been said all the time. [18:09] where did my syntax go wrong [18:09] i used it exactly like you showed me [18:10] MeepDude: Until the last command, it was all wrong all the time. [18:10] MeepDude: if you can ssh then you can set up filezilla and just use a gui [18:11] scp vum646@elk01.cs.utsa.edu:/home/vum646/foobar.txt /home/wesley this is right? [18:12] MeepDude: Yes. [18:12] MeepDude: IF that file exists on the remote server and IF you have access to it. [18:13] thanks whoever [18:13] bye [18:14] hello, how do i detect what graphics i'm using [18:14] Mine, says driver unknown [18:14] nobody savvy with /etc/fstab here?

[18:47] chro: yes, try that. do not reboot the system, it appears you tried to update apt, so that might break things [18:48] navi_: _what_ problem do you have?

[18:48] hi [18:48] how its called the package manager in ubuntu? === tux_ is now known as uporot [18:48] my Internet connection is too slow [18:48] ice9: you have to know how that .img is actually structured before. [18:49] does anyone else use a xeon cpu? Integrated graphics don't seem to be working [18:49] bekks: I didn't make it, can I still able to know now? [18:50] i trying disable ipv6, but it doesn't disable for some reason... [18:50] ice9: You have to know more about the content, so you have to ask the one who created it how it was created. [18:50] how do i can disable my ipv6 in Xubuntu? [18:51] anyone can tell where is the package manager of ubuntu? [18:52] this shit is so frustratin [18:55] Prest0, you want softwarecenter? === dw_ is now known as Guest32128 [18:56] Ok. I found (probably) a bug in the alternate installer for 12.04. When using a braille line, the hardware detection crashes. This works reproducably with the virtual USB braille line from QEMU, and when I tested it with a real braille line (unfortunately I do not know the actual type of it). [18:56] Is it worthwile to file a report? [18:56] I mean it is 12.04 ... still supported, but old.

Any idea? [19:03] no. I did "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock" and "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" as the link you mentioned [19:03] chro make sure no other apt manager is open, and/or use sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [19:04] anyone know how to install a shit called "nodejs" ¿? its not in the package manager and i just dont know how to install shits aside of "one click" [19:04] Prest0 mind your language [19:04] i am a bit frustrated [19:04] sorry [19:05] what's nodejs?

I just want to know Im safe [19:18] Medo: that should be possible; you should see an upgrade option when booting from the live cd and starting the installation wizard [19:18] Prest0: I'm using 13.10, so it looks like it's a bit different [19:18] ubottu, apt [19:18] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[19:20] 11.04 is end-of-life, as far as i know [19:20] n-st: btw my ubuntu is 9.10 and i know its EOL [19:20] 9.10?! ouch...

[19:22] Medo: 9.10 has been EOL for almost three years! anyway, you can usually upgrade one version at a time and from one lts release to the next [19:22] obje: Yes, not sure why that would be hard.

[19:24] \x00 what have you used so far? [19:24] <\x00> Hold on let me check the history clicks [19:24] Medo: it could, possibly, but i don't even have a clue where that could come from...

[19:26] actually im freelanced but I suspect illegal issue... I'm concerned they are stealing my software product and conversations [19:26] n-st: can that fixed with upgrade ? [19:26] obje: I was just talking about their network, anything sent unencrypted via their network could be observed if they want, and can see what connections are made. For them to monitor you at home they would probably need access to your computer. right? [19:26] Medo: keeping the files in your ~ is easy. install a recent ubuntu alongside the old one and copy everything you need. [19:27] obje: Use an encrypted VPN from your PC to a server you own, such as with openvpn [19:27] So I should not be concerned about using home wife [19:27] n-st: current now im using the live cd 9.10 :p and i cannot copy or decrypt the home folder :\ [19:27] \x00 start from the beginning, what brings you here, what are you trying to do [19:27] Medo: again, an upgrade might or might not fix the issue. with such an old system, i'd rather go with a clean install. it's quicker and safer than screwing around trying to get the old one back up [19:28] Medo: oh, encrypted? [19:28] n-st: yes its [19:28] i give up, i have no experience whatsoever with fs-level encryption...

I remember using a Gpart that worked and the gui looked different, I cannot seem to find that specific type [19:33] hi [19:33] \x00 are you in a live session now? if yes, use gparted [19:33] Medo: Did you ever boot from an Ubuntu *12.04* CD/USB? [19:33] i put two files in ubuntu one, and they both have a refresh button on them. are they done syncing? [19:33] refresh icon* similar [19:33] <\x00> u mean like apt-get gpart? [19:34] \x00 no, in the menu, choose gparted [19:34] mojtaba: "-mtime ..." might be what you need as the test, then followed by a move, e.g: "find /path/to/source -mtime 3 -exec mv {} /path/to/destination/ \;" [19:34] hello, i want to use on my asus ul30vt only intel graphic card, soo dont want to use nvidia, is there any way to disable it? in versions like 10.10 i have used vgaswitchhero what about in newest version 13.10?

[19:34] <\x00> yes i am in ubuntu [19:34] TJ-: Thanks, I will check that [19:35] \x00 and did you install it inside windows (wubi) ? [19:35] <\x00> no, I did not use wubi [19:35] Jordan_U: u mean that url u send me yesterday ? [19:35] <\x00> It has its own partition [19:35] \x00 then why don't you simply boot into a live session? what goes wrong? [19:35] <\x00> I get to choose to use either windows 7 or ubuntu [19:36] <\x00> Live session? [19:36] \x00 yes, the live dvd or usb [19:36] \x00 what you used to install ubuntu [19:36] Medo: I mean that I told you no less than three times, in no uncertain terms that you *need* to use *12.04 or newer*. You seem unwilling to even try Ubuntu 12.04 or newer and haven't explained why. [19:36] <\x00> yea I used an ubuntu.iso type of file that converted to usb [19:37] \x00 ok, then boor from that usb [19:37] boot* [19:37] <\x00> That has gparted in there or something? [19:37] I am frequently getting disk reading errors when resuming from suspend or hibernate. Any advice? [19:37] \x00 yes, the live session has gparted [19:38] <\x00> oo [19:38] Jordan_U: you mean using it as live cd ? [19:38] <\x00> Ok, I will try that, thanks. [19:38] Medo: Yes. [19:38] anyone, have some idea? [19:39] petzup about what? [19:39] i want to use on my asus ul30vt only intel graphic card, soo dont want to use nvidia, is there any way to disable it? in versions like 10.10 i have used vgaswitchhero what about in newest version 13.10? [19:39] Jordan_U: i downloaded that version yesterday after burning it i was shocked because it was server version not i386 [19:40] i have 15-20w per hour what is really too much in older ubuntu i have about 7-10w per hour [19:40] petzup: Have you tried disabling it in the BIOS? [19:40] i cant [19:40] Medo: there are different architectures: i686 / amd64, and there are different flavors: server / desktop. [19:40] Medo: Then you downloaded the wrong version. Download the correct version from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop . [19:41] I had an issue on an old Ubuntu 10.04 install where I can no longer access the UI. So, I'm installing a fresh 12.04 on the system using a different hard disk. Does anyone know where Network Manager stores VPN settings on the hard disk so I can find the settings I was using on my old system and configure them on the new one using Network Manager ? [19:41] Jordan U: then i got my older version 11.04 on usb i got no init error and i couldnt load it then i returned to 9.10 [19:41] Medo: I don't care about anything you do with anything other than Ubuntu 12.04 or newer. [19:41] bekks: i know i noticed it after boot :\ [19:42] Medo: No, you just mixed up architectures and flavors. [19:42] Jordan_U: and what can i do after download it and burn it [19:42] Medo: the server version is either i686 or amd64 - just as the desktop version. [19:42] bekks: exactly :\ [19:43] Jordan_U: what should i do after that ? download the burn to usb ,,, and ? [19:44] Medo: ...boot it? [19:44] Medo: Boot from it and follow http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html to gain access to and backup your existing files, then use it to install. [19:45] bekks: can i make direct update from 9.10 or that is just for getting my files ? [19:45] Hello all. I have a problem with my raspi; i cant connect to it from WAN using ssh altough the port forwarding of my router works. I installed openvpn lately and messed around with the iptables a bit, dunno if that might have something to do with the issue. Does anyone have an idea what might cause these problems? I can access other machines in the network from wAN with no problem [19:45] Medo: It is pretty irrelevant for your issue - but you cannot directly update. === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [19:46] how can i get rid of email icon in taskbar on ubuntu 13.10?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [19:52] MonkeyDust: dud $#@$ windows [19:52] to repair 64 bit ubuntu, i need 64 bit live cd? [19:52] bumbar: yes. [19:52] geirha: yea i know that yesterday :P [19:53] Medo: before upgrading (no matter what method you use), you will need to use the 12.04 or later liveCD to decrypt and back up your data [19:53] ubottu: thanks im gonna see it right now [19:53] Medo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:53] ubottu: looooooool [19:54] lukemorrison: so i have t use the LTS version [19:55] Medo: That is correct. Please read the link that has been provided for you [19:56] hello dear friends [19:56] hi hoodedice [19:56] welcome to #ubuntu [19:56] lukemorrison: can i have the 9.10 user interface on 12 LTS ? [19:56] As it so happens, Xorg crashed the system, and I had to reinstall [19:56] However the installer assumed everything, and formatted the entire harddriv [19:57] I'm coming from windows 8.1 [19:57] I hear there's a partition that cannot be over written and can reset the PC [19:57] Medo: There are fallback versions, but Gnome 2 is no longer being developed [19:57] Medo: You can use Xubuntu 12.04, which provides an interface very similar to Ubuntu 9.10. [19:57] Medo: You can also try Lubuntu [19:58] hoodedice: some hard drives can have 'hidden' sectors at the end of the drive, and some pre-installed Windows systems will have the recovery image in it [19:58] hi. i had to do an offline installation from a 13.10 live image last night because the online one kept failing. what can i do to install all the updates that should have gone in during an online install? [19:58] hoodedice: It's more formally known as the Host Protected Area [19:58] hey everyoen [19:58] Is it possible to access and use it on the state I am in? [19:59] hoodedice: There is nothing you can do to a hard drive that will "reset the PC". On UEFI Systems you need to have an EFI System Partition to boot from a drive, but you can delete and remake that partition at any time, or not have one for a drive you don't need to boot from. [19:59] In other words? [19:59] linux suxs [19:59] hoodedice: Are you just trying to get more usable space out of your hard drive? [20:00] No [20:00] Any of you know better 'two-factor authentication' for ubuntu? [20:00] Prest0: Thats not needed for this cahnnel [20:00] lol [20:00] in very bad shape I lost unity and now everything is screwed up on 12.04. I stupidly tried to try some ccsm tricks and then said 'ok' to open gl and after that everything got screwedup. Now I am trying to restart/ setsid unity / unity --replace and what not and nothing works !! [20:00] I'm trying to get Windows 8 back [20:00] Vivekananda: heya === solsTiCe is now known as Guest85771 [20:00] i i am frustrated with linux sorry [20:01] Prest0: no problem [20:01] Prest0 learnig something new can be frustrating [20:01] Prest0: OK. If you have a specific problem with Ubuntu, feel free to ask about it here. [20:01] Prest0: Learn from the idiots like me. After I get my Windows 8 installation back, or get a new one, I'll install Ubuntu again lol [20:02] i dont success nstalling nodejs [20:02] anyone care to respond [20:02] So, is there a way for me to access and use that little EFI partition? [20:02] hoodedice: it sounds to me like you have erased your win8 install. you'll need to reinstall using a disk, the way you installed ubuntu but with that software [20:02] hoodedice: So you're trying to re-install Windows 8? [20:03] i have one more thing :) [20:03] maybe you should open the disks program and look at your hd to see if there's any partitions with win8 on it? [20:03] Jordan_U, yes === Dave is now known as Guest44140 [20:03] Gallomimia, It's not there in Thunar [20:04] hoodedice: You will probably need the Windows 8 DVD to do that then. Just to confirm that you don't have a recovery partition, please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [20:04] well, to me that's mission successful. i just erased a win8 install because its owner was complaining about the thing being too slow while it's brand spankin' new. "i got a solution for that and it's called ubuntu" [20:04] I see a 511 MB fat32 [20:04] Prest0: In newer versions, it's already available in the main repository, but for 12.04, you will need to add it. [20:05] could be a recovery partition! [20:05] Prest0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/49390/how-do-i-install-the-latest-version-of-node-js [20:05] 495 GB ext4, and a 4 GB Swap [20:05] That's what Im thinking too! [20:05] Hello, I am installing 13.10 on a raw partition and since I want it to be bootable, obviously I set the mount point as /boot, yes? (Win7 is bootable from a separate hdd, if relevant) [20:05] hoodedice: 511MB, first partition, that'll be the EFI System Partition [20:05] Yes. [20:05] So what do I do now? [20:05] hoodedice, pastebin the output of that command [20:06] hm. i see one of those too hoodedice. and i know i nuked everything [20:07] Here you go: http://pastebin.com/NeiDKQWC [20:07] hoodedice, If it is gone and you have no reinstall media the vendor probably will sell you a oem disk set cheap. [20:07] can anyone tell me what's the last version of open jdk? [20:08] I mean is 1.6.0_31 version available? [20:08] psei: My setup could be slightly different, but I believe in general youo use one partition for the boot/grub files mounted at /boot, and the rest of Ubuntu is in a separate partition mounted at / [20:08] Won't it work with any crappy repair disks or something? [20:08] Nuked forever? [20:08] why i got that error when i try to boot from my usb : no init found try passing init = bootarg [20:09] hoodedice: do you HAVE a repair disk? [20:09] Should have made one when it was working. DAMN [20:09] hoodedice, A recovery disk would reload a backup or work on windows still there. You seem to have neither am I correct? [20:09] hoodedice: It looks like you over-write the entire disk (if it's a 500GB disk), which will have over-written the Windows file-systems [20:09] Yes. I am indeed screwed here [20:09] How do I do this? "Enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories (for bumblebee and nvidia packages respectively)." [20:10] also, the installer didn't assume everything. you clicked erase which was the default. read everything bud [20:10] I mean, lol " NO, I do not have a repair disk" [20:10] MoPac, so I have to setup the boot, swap, etc partitions myself? [20:10] I clicked "Delete unknown Linux partition" which was what I assumed to be my broken xubuntu partition [20:10] hoodedice: The "testdisk" tool might be able to do partition table recovery, but no guarantee that the Linux install didn't destroy key parts of the Windows file-systems [20:11] How do I get that? [20:11] can anyone comnet on my situation ? [20:11] psei: What is the install method you are using? [20:11] even alt tab does not work :( [20:11] hoodedice: see for example http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [20:11] I [20:11] hoodedice: testdisk is available from the Ubuntu archives [20:11] MoPac, booting from LiveUSB [20:11] ll try that out. For now, I [20:12] ll boot from a USB just so that I don't overwrite anything [20:12] brb [20:12] Vivekananda: i have no ideas for you to fix your problem. but i'm going to suggest immediately backing up any critical documents you have because my idea is for you to reinstall ubuntu [20:12] Question: I installed an application (Double commander, daily build and I-Nex), they both show up on the left hand side on the "quick launch" however both lack an ICON and show a "?" instead - how can I easily change these please? [20:13] Obiwantje: it doesn't fix when you launch the apps? [20:13] Gallomimia, thanks for responding - no it doesn't unfortunately [20:14] Vivekananda: Create a new user profile, log into that, if that works you know you've got a user-configuration issue on your regular profile, but at least you can work to repair it from a clean stable profile [20:14] try unpinning them and then launching them and then re-pinning? [20:14] (correction I-NEX *did*, but Double commander did *not*) [20:14] psei: I'm not sure if the newer install steps are different, but I think that the Ubuntu install setup prompts you to make a boot partition and a root partition [20:14] (as well as swap space) [20:14] how to edit the conetent of zImage file? [20:14] MoPac, I see [20:15] Whoever gave me that testimage link, could you please give it again? [20:15] Gallomimia, WOW that did the trick! so simple! [20:15] MoPac: psei: Ubuntu has never defaulted to having a separate /boot/ partition, and it rarely makes sense to have one. [20:15] n [20:15] thank you so much - I only moved to Ubuntu a month ago from windows, but I am getting so much joy learning out of it already ! [20:15] i'm still looking for tips on installing all the 3rd party software and updates that were missed from doing an offline installation [20:16] me cuelgan los huevos pa riba [20:16] psei: The mountpoint for you root partition should be '/'. [20:16] Jordan_U: psei: Ah; my apologies then...I have a dual-boot setup and have always had a separate boot partition, probably because I always ended up using the advanced install disk [20:16] !es |bugtraq [20:16] bugtraq: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [20:16] TJ- [20:17] Gallomimia, this may not answer your question - but I was looing at this yesterday: http://www.noobslab.com/2014/01/new-application-aptik-to-backuprestore.html [20:17] Jordan_U, gotcha [20:18] <|PiP|`> is it possible to edit /etc/shadow directly? ive lost my linux password but have access to the /etc/shadow file. im using ubuntu on a raspberry pi and trying to ssh into it and when i clear out the password in /etc/shadow, ssh login still doesn't work [20:18] Obiwantje: no i don't think it does but it might be useful for my own system which will be getting a fresh install today [20:19] let me know how it works for you [20:19] hello I would like to achieve this desktop : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftIHTgCuEhs [20:19] I will install as well [20:19] |PiP|`: How are you accessing the /etc/shadow? [20:19] i'm a little skeptical because my current install has a lot of broken packages in it. one of the reasons i'm doing a clean install instead of copying the install over to the new drive setup [20:20] <|PiP|`> Jordan_U: sorry, im using a beaglebone black, not raspberry pi. its on an sdcard [20:20] but it also has lots of ppa's and extra installs. like a newer kernel and some ati graphics drivers [20:20] It is not hard to get the sphere and the world images the problem comes when trying to make the sphere smaller and to keep all the opened windows on to it [20:20] cloneG not everyone runs a gui with mediaplayer, what's in the video? [20:20] <|PiP|`> Jordan_U: im mounting the sdcard [20:21] MonkeyDust compiz [20:21] Iam getting this https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/9024736 [20:21] |PiP|`: is this to do with the vnc / ssh issue? [20:21] anyone using hdmi with ubuntu? I get no sound in my tv [20:21] TJ how do I create a new profile ? [20:21] MonkeyDust compiz with wallpaper cube desktop and reflection plugins === mydogsnameisrudy is now known as monkeyjuice [20:22] |PiP|`: when you connect the SD-card to the PC, you can mount the rootfs and chroot into it, and then use "passwd" to reset the password the 'proper' way [20:22] cloneG look for ccsm [20:22] I installed this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/default-jdk but when I do "java -version" I still get version 1.6.0_27 ? [20:22] <|PiP|`> humbag: no i've just lost my password that i set [20:22] oh sorry wrong person [20:23] am I doing something wrong? [20:23] !ccsm > cloneG [20:23] cloneG, please see my private message [20:23] TJ-: |PiP|`: Some interesting qemu-foo would be required to chroot into an ARM system from an x86 one. [20:23] Vivekananda: restart in Recovery single-user mode, then create a new user "adduser " [20:23] chro: you have to set your desired jdk as default afterwards, too. [20:24] bekks: where was this package installed? [20:24] |PiP|`: See for example http://tinkering-is-fun.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/running-arm-linux-on-your-desktop-pc_12.html [20:24] chro: that's jdk, not jre, so javac -version [20:24] chro: You said you installed it. [20:24] Trying out testdisk now [20:25] geirha: right, but it says also the same version for javac [20:25] Jordan_U: re: boot partitions, are they still required when you have LUKS full-disk encryption for the root partition, though? [20:25] chro: Hm. Ok. What does update-java-alternatives --list output? [20:25] I'm not sure if it is the /usr/lib/jvm/defaulf-java [20:26] java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64 [20:26] java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 1051 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 [20:26] MoPac: Not strictly required, grub supports LUKS, but yes it's recommended then. [20:26] chro: And what version did you expect to see? [20:27] What partition table type do I select in testdisk? [20:27] 1.6.0_43 [20:27] everyhing is screwed up :( [20:27] another thing I ve been thinking is there a program similar to keepassx for ubuntu but with a 3d interface instead of key password to lock in? I mean some kind of 3d lock to play with? [20:27] chro: .43 is outdated, too. [20:27] even in new user which I could create from here I got ubuntu 2D but not unity [20:27] :( [20:27] chro: Ah, well precise is sticking with b27 http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/openjdk-6-jdk [20:28] a sort of puzzle perhaps [20:28] seems like I need a reinstall [20:28] ok people [20:28] I have three partitions listed here saying MS Data [20:28] Lemme take a screenie... [20:28] chro: Any particular reason for not going 1.7? [20:28] there is no way to recover settings? [20:28] reinstall unity maybe? [20:28] geirha: this package shows .43 http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/default-jdk [20:29] right, I will try with 1.7 [20:30] how can I reinstall unity ? [20:30] is there some locking device like that one on smart phones where you draw a figure for ubuntu? [20:31] http://pastebin.com/vraehhxF [20:31] Any luck for me? [20:31] chro: Oh, didn't notice that at first. Interesting, though that package doesn't really contain any (java) files, it just depends on the "real" package, which is at b27 [20:31] you're right :\ [20:32] lockscreen it is called for ubuntu [20:32] but it is possible to use it on desktop pc? [20:33] hoodedice: That looks promising, although my guess would be that the 3rd partition originally encompassed the space assigned to the last partition (which is now designated swap). But it being a very large FS, you may be lucky if you recover the MS DATA partitions as it stands. My bet would be the first MS DATA file-system will have been corrupted by Linux, and possibly early parts of the 2nd too. It depends how far the install went and how much was installed. [20:33] I am thinking in that direction too. But still hoping for the best [20:34] <|PiP|`> i cant chroot my ubuntu image since raspbx uses ARM [20:35] |PiP|`: Ubuntu isnt actively developed for ARM anymore. [20:35] hoodedice: how far did the Ubuntu install run? [20:35] Complete [20:35] hoodedice: Desktop? [20:35] I noticed the bloop after the reboot [20:35] Yes [20:35] 1 GB [20:35] I think [20:36] hoodedice: OK... well if you let testdisk rewrite the partition table you at least have a possibility that Windows *might* start. [20:36] Uhumm [20:36] As far as it can just reinstall 8 or something - I'm happy [20:36] hoodedice: If not, you can at least use photorec (another part of the testdisk suite) to recover files from the damaged file-systems to another drive [20:37] hi, im trying to install ubuntu on a acer s7-392 while keeping UEFI on. I can only get my usb stick to show up with the 64-bit iso and not the 32-bit [20:37] Thank you very much, TJ. I'll try it out and get back [20:37] for some reason ubuntu recommends if i dont ahve a 64-bit amd cpu to use the 32-bit [20:37] hoodedice: If your supplier doesn't provide a bullet-proof Windows-recovery via a DVD or downloaded ISO, you're out of luck [20:37] but then when i go to ubuntu.com, it defaults to 64-bit installation? [20:37] Toshiba. I AM out of luck [20:38] so im assuming 64-bit installation is ok for non-amd cpus? [20:38] silenz: As long as your CPU is 64bit, yes. [20:38] silenz: erm, no it doesn't. amd64 is the name of the 64-bit architecture you have. amd invented it. [20:38] oooh [20:38] ok duh sorry im a total newbie [20:38] i thought i had to have an AMD chipset [20:38] thanks [20:39] hoodedice: https://support.toshiba.com/repair has a form for requesting recovery media. [20:40] im really psyched to learn how to use ubuntu and linux [20:40] especially on nice hardware like the acer s7 [20:40] only thing is they dont have dedicated F keys wtf [20:40] F keys? [20:41] yeh function keys. the ultrabook doesnt have dedicated function keys [20:41] F1-F12 [20:41] its funky you have hit a dedicated "Fn" key PLUS F* to get teh function keys [20:42] Hmm, same in my laptop when I'm on Windows [20:42] I like it better without it. [20:42] oh really? [20:42] i thought it was a new thing acer decided to do === sexyboy_ is now known as Guest51373 [20:44] hoodedice: If you work with Linux terminals, those functions keys are essential! Horrible having to FN+F? to switch [20:45] OerHeks [20:45] I said I like it without having to Fn to F1 [20:48] oh fudge2 was not me, had to read logs to see what the hilights were about [20:48] hoodedice: I was agreeing with you :) === Tarzan is now known as tarzaneck [20:48] unity --reset started it for me === UKn0Me is now known as HerpTheDerpWhale [20:52] do i still need a /boot partition if im dualbooting from windows 8? [20:52] im reading this guide but its not too clear [20:52] is it possable to use ubuntu server 12.04 as a live streaming server [20:52] silenz: You don't need a separate /boot/ partition, but if you are using UEFI then any bootable disk needs to have an EFI System Partition. [20:53] ah ok [20:53] mega1: Yes. [20:53] thanks jordan_U im sure that saved me an hour of "why isnt this working" lol [20:53] TJ- Just found this: [20:53] https://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=2737864&pf=true [20:53] how [20:54] Hello everybody, I just installed windows 7 and now i want to install ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit as well, but when the partitioning program starts... it doesn't show any already created partition (win7 partitions). Anyone knows what to do? === rickyb98 is now known as RickyB98 [20:54] DeusDeceit: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [20:55] i want to be able stream from three sorces at the same time [20:55] that will take a bit, I have to start the installation again. (I'm in windows now) brb [20:58] i'm going to ask this again: how can i get my now-working install of ubuntu 13.10 to fetch and update all of the 3rd party installs that would have happened if i had done an online install from my live-image? i had to do offline because the online style kept hanging and freezing [20:59] Gallomimia: Are you referring to the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package and its dependencies? [21:00] i'm not even sure which packages [21:00] but i'll install that with apt-get and it probably will do what i want [21:01] Gallomimia: An "online" upgrade is simply downloading the needed packages then installing them (the installation itself is "offline", it no longer requires and internet connection) so I don't see any reason to expect that downloading the packages manually first (as opposed to automatically as part of the "online" upgrade) would change the outcome of an upgrade. Please describe how you tried to upgrade and what problems you ... [21:01] ... encountered. [21:01] Gallomimia: Do "apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras" to see the list of packages [21:01] since i am new to linux what flavor of ubuntu or distro do you suggest to me ? my primary concern is to use linux for learn linux and also for web development. [21:01] i haven't updated anything yet. just the language support that popped up [21:02] My 13.10 64-bit won't bring up eth2 device (changed motherboard for install) even if parameters are set in /etc/network/interfaces to static. And network manager applet is working with wireless network on boot and parameters are set, it is saying "device is not managed" [21:02] I can bring it up only manually with sudo ifup eth2 , after interfaces is set. but no go on reboot unless manual start [21:02] nikolam: Network-manager is saying that the device is not managed because you have an entry for the device in /etc/network/interfaces. Please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces . [21:03] nikolam: Probably because you've got a static interface name set in "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" and the new mobo interfaces have alternate names. Try "ifconfig -a" to see which interfaces look active (by their TX/RX counts) [21:03] jordan, it was saying that even before I put it there. ok. [21:03] i want to be able stream from three sorces at the same time [21:03] aha TJ- [21:03] John_John_: my suggestion is ubuntu 13.10 [21:04] Gallomimia: should i prefer mint linux instead ? [21:05] i've no experience with mint. it's a fork of ubuntu however [21:05] John_John_: If you like to get support from the Mint community... ;) [21:05] better support here. that's for sure [21:05] ...goddamit [21:05] ohh i see.... [21:05] i got an error message that says... ??? ??? ??? ??? lol [21:05] wtf [21:06] the only times i've ever had a problem getting an answer for my questions were like... after midnight on a friday valentines day :P and new year's eve [21:06] also i know that 20 million people worldwide use ubuntu anyways [21:06] I'm back... sudo parted -l asks a question and i don't know the answer. here's the question http://pastebin.com/AzK2GMLe [21:06] yes it's pretty durn good [21:06] then you can get familiar with it, and in 6 months maybe you might like to try a new flavor [21:07] what do i do now [21:07] also i noticed today there's a web builder program in the software center [21:07] TJ-, it's the only one (eth2). should I just delete old card from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and leave new one or remove both? [21:07] nikolam: If you delete both, next time the system starts the correct rule with be re-written [21:08] Gallomimia: if its not rude to ask here, my other thought was also fedora. can i have your opinion please ? does it have a good community ? [21:09] that's it TJ- , you are very much great here, you know. :P [21:09] DeusDeceit, be sure to direct a request to the user that asked by starting with their nick. [21:09] Jordan_U: TJ- thanks for the detailed infos. i think i'm much better off with a manual update here because i preselected a closer mirror. 10 minute download instead of an hour :) i'll install the restricted package next [21:09] Beldar, I would, but i can't remember who it was :/ and this client doesn't show nicknames that are in the room. [21:10] DeusDeceit, Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/AzK2GMLe [21:10] is it better to install ubuntu first and then install windows 8 in UEFI mode? [21:10] Beldar, Thank you [21:10] tab completion? [21:11] DeusDeceit, No prob a mixed up partition table scenario, no biggie, they are your best help here. [21:12] Beldar, seems big to me, I have no clue what needs to be done. But if you say it's no biggie, I believe you. [21:12] Beldar: You can use fixparts to remove the stale GPT signatures from that disk, then Ubuntu's installer should handle it properly. [21:13] John_John_: i know little about fedora unfortunately. i've heard they have a decent community too. keep in mind that your decision is not a decision that needs a lot of thought. it *IS* one you can take lightly. it's easy to change between the distros, and it's easy to just install both. also ubuntu has a good way to let you try it out before installing. possibly fedora does as well? give it a whirl and see what you think [21:14] Jordan_U, That was my thought. DeusDeceit You are removing the gpt remnants still there with this app. http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ [21:15] Gallomimia: thanks :) [21:16] has there been any progress on a linux netflix? [21:16] when are they going to get with the program and shed silverlight [21:16] Beldar, Jordan_U I'll try that. [21:19] hello all. i broke xserver when changing display drivers and thought it would be good to delete xorg.conf.d and xorg.conf and now i cant use mouse or keyboard to log in. can someone help me repair xorg? [21:20] come on baby... please work... [21:20] all i can do is log in as root on recovery mode but i still cant run Xorg -configure [21:21] xenos_: Why cant you un that? [21:22] saysit cant lock a file [21:22] Has anyone here used cairo-docks? [21:23] bekks it says cant lock file in /tmp/.tX0_lock [21:23] Anyone used cairo-docks with 12.04 here? [21:23] anyone have a STUN server recommendation? [21:24] guys, I just installed a fresh version of Apache in my Ubuntu Desktop, so when I go to "http://localhost", I get the default "It works" page, but I was looking at the "sites-enabled" folder, and I couldnt see any symbolic link there. Where is that default vhost defined? [21:24] is there a place i can go to read about kernel version 3.12 getting placed in official repos. timeline and such? [21:24] I am getting problems using alt-tab on unity vs cairo. [21:24] usually /etc/httpd/confsgohere [21:24] xenos_: Do you have permissions to do so in /tmp/ ? [21:25] DeusDeceit: Are you still booted to the Ubuntu LiveCD? [21:25] Gallomimia: It will never be officially placed into repos. [21:25] never? [21:25] Gallomimia: Never. [21:25] are we just allergic to 3.12 then? [21:25] Any cairo-docs ppl here? [21:26] bekks when i am in tmp dir it gives same error [21:26] Jordan_U, yes, and i cleaned up the GTP data (I think LOL) and now it shows some messages about partition 0xEE not starting on sector 1? here's another pastebin. I hope i didn't screw up http://pastebin.com/L217JRDx [21:26] Gallomimia: No. It just will never be placed into repos. [21:26] xenos_: That doesnt answer my question. [21:26] cairo-docks alt-tab problems anyone? [21:27] Something to do with compiz? [21:27] maybe i don't understand what i'm asking about... i run 3.12 on my system at home. i'm interested to know when it becomes part of the official release. and if never, why not? [21:28] Gallomimia: Because kernels will not updated whenever they are released. For one Ubuntu release, there is one kernel version. The only "official" chance to get a newer kernel is using an lts enablement stack kernel. [21:28] darth : have you asked in #cairo ? ... channel is not as active as here, however it might be good to post there as well [21:28] bekks what exactly are you asking me to do in /tmp? [21:28] Ok, I will try, thanks. [21:28] xenos_: Checking the permissions of /tmp/ and checking wether you have free disk space in /tmp/ [21:29] i dont know how to find out [21:29] ls -ld /tmp [21:29] df -h [21:30] DeusDeceit: OK. It looks like at some point you had a hybrid MBR. These are ugly things which are generally only found on Macs where you're trying to dual boot OSX and Windows. Does any of that sound familiar to you? [21:30] xenos_: enter those commands. first tells you permission, second tells you free space [21:31] Jordan_U, nope, could windows windows 8 installation have something to do with it? I had them installed before this setup. [21:31] bekks i have free space and ls -ld /tmp gives: drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 45956 [21:31] 45056 [21:31] xenos_: Wher do you have free space? [21:32] DeusDeceit: A normal Windows installation should never create a hybrid MBR. Please pastebin the current output of "sudo parted -l". [21:32] bekks sda1 where tmp is located [21:32] xenos_: that says everyone has permisssions in /tmp that's good. are you sure you have free space? use df -h to show it [21:33] Tex_Nick: No one is replying there either. [21:33] a fair amount? or just a small bit [21:33] Tex_Nick: How does it work? are all those users online? [21:33] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/gzyUBNZS [21:33] YES [21:33] it woooooksss [21:33] holy shit this is so cool [21:33] All methods of recovering system image for Win8 have failed. I'm thinking of grabbing an iso from the interwebz. Since my key is hard coded within the bios, I dont think I should have any problems [21:34] i feel smarter already :D [21:34] DeusDeceit: OK, and the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? [21:34] silenz: No. Obviously, your keyboard does not work correctly. ;) [21:34] lol [21:34] Gallomimia it says that each filesystem has over 1g of free space [21:34] hoodedice: Did pressing '0' not work? [21:34] It did not lol. [21:34] oh man ubuntu looks so nice [21:34] Neither did testdisk, or whatever [21:34] hoodedice: Nothing at all different happened during boot? [21:34] darth : yes, but it might take a while for an answer in #cairo ... I understand you want a fast answer ... sometimes it takes a while ... be patient ;0 [21:34] It tried to load media, but failed [21:34] dual-booting this thing is so intimdating [21:35] im just happy it worked [21:35] hoodedice: A long shot, but have you explored the UEFI setup for any options that might 'reveal' the recovery partition in the HPA? [21:35] xenos_: maybe the file you're looking at has wrong permissions? run a ls -l on that [21:35] I think Ubuntu did overwrite Windy after all [21:35] bekks it says i cant mkdir in tmp because it is read only [21:35] hoodedice: It did? OK, that suggests the recovery partition/HPA had been blown away at some point [21:35] Tex_Nick: I understand. It's just that I never use cahts of this sort, so I don't know how this works rly. [21:35] Testdisk did note a recovery partition that was intact [21:35] xenos_: Then look at dmesg to see why. [21:36] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/A9fMEu1w [21:36] bekks dmesg fills my sceen with content i dont understand [21:37] xenos_: Then pastebin that content please.

[21:37] DeusDeceit: OK, oddly enough both of those show that you don't have *any* 0xEE partition, so I don't know what fixparts is complaining about. [21:37] TJ-, you think any iso will work it out? [21:38] hoodedice: I think you have to do a clean reinstall of Windows [21:38] bekks how do i use pastebin on a computer i cant even connect to xserver on? [21:38] Or do you recommend an OEM? This is a laptop with Win8 pre-installed. [21:38] Jordan_U, So should i try the setup again now? [21:38] DeusDeceit: Out of an ubundance of caution, please confirm that you can still boot into Windows, then reboot back into the Ubuntu installer and you should be able to install normally. [21:38] hi, is there an application on ubuntu to lock acess to some undesired website? [21:38] xenos_: pipe the output into pastebinit [21:38] You have leechlock on firefox. [21:38] Zeelot: W3M? [21:38] Zeelot: sorry, meant xenos_ [21:38] Jordan_U, okay, brb again then. [21:38] kgalahassa, Sorry, leechblock https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock/ [21:39] hoodedice: I'd try to get the Toshiba installation/recovery media [21:39] Ok. Thanks a lot Tj. [21:39] I'll mess around a bit more, and then see how much I have to cash out [21:39] hoodedice: If you could locate someone else with the same PC, and Linux, they could copy their HPA recovery partition for you to write to your drive... but probably more long-winded than just getting the recovery media properly [21:39] Gallomimia i cant install pastebinit because i cant lock //lib/dpkg/lock [21:40] well. that's horrible [21:40] tell me about it [21:40] try redirecting it to a file and reading that file into... somewhere? [21:40] an email. posting it to a webserver [21:40] Gallomimia: read only filesystem. [21:40] yeah it sounds that way bekks === Ozera_zz is now known as Ozera [21:40] Gallomimia: No file to be created somewhere, etc. [21:40] i cant read or write anyrhing anywhere it seems [21:41] what's the command to list mounts [21:41] mount [21:41] xenos_: you can read everything, but not write. [21:41] no options? [21:41] cool [21:41] yep. read what it says when you run mount [21:41] time to reformat [21:41] xenos_: Why? Is it Windows? [21:41] well. no it should be fixable [21:41] Anyone know if there's a windows .lnk file parser in the repositories similar to https://tzworks.net/prototype_page.php?proto_id=11 ? (I'd rather use something from the repos over a random utility from the internet if I can avoid it) [21:42] why is your drive mounted r/o [21:42] sure you're not booted from a cd or something? [21:42] bekks off topic. why does recovery mode boot to read only? [21:42] xenos_: For safety reasons. [21:42] oooh [21:43] recovery mode yes [21:43] i booted via recovery mode and logged in as root [21:43] you should try booting normally and use ctrl-alt-F4 [21:43] xenos_: Why do you have a root password set? [21:43] Jordan_U, Back agian and thank you very much for your help. I tried the setup before restarting, and it did find the windows 7 partitions then closed it and logged into windows. Everything went fine. Now Going back to installing ubuntu. Thanks agian :) [21:43] wahts the best way to learn my around ubuntu? read the user guide? [21:43] gives you a command prompt with no X [21:43] im soooo excited [21:43] i dont know how else to gegt to command line [21:43] it looks soooo good on this laptop [21:43] DeusDeceit: You're welcome :) [21:43] silenz i'm happy for you :) [21:43] Jordan_U, laterz :) [21:43] xenos_: So mount your / readwrite. sudo mount -o remount,rw / [21:44] thx :D [21:44] wheres the button to hack the nsa [21:44] is that like a command or what [21:44] xenos_: log in as your own user, you shouldn't be logging in as root ever, or even have a root password === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [21:44] Ben64: The recovery mode throws you into the root account. [21:45] he said "logged in as root" : / [21:45] Ben64: In the recovery mode. [21:45] starting a root shell from recovery mode isn't the same as logging in as root [21:46] Ben64: He doesnt know how to check free disk space - do you expect him to know the difference between a root shell and the recovery mode? :) [21:46] bekks ok now i can write. when i run xorg -configure it says number of sceens does not match number of detected devices [21:46] Hello Someone managed to install ubuntu in lenovo yoga 2 pro ? [21:47] Question: I'm symlinking a file using `cp -frs` (with -f flag) but it still prompts for overwrite. What should i do? [21:47] thanks for antagonizing me [21:47] xenos_: I dont want to be unfriendly, I just stated the facts. [21:47] xenos_: Or do you actually know the difference between the recovery mode and a root shell login? [21:48] well obiously root shell should have rw permissions everywhere [21:48] xenos_: Which is not right. [21:48] I have this message when I try to install ubuntu with live usb: (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system [21:48] how is any of this helping xenos_ ? [21:49] do you know the issue with xorg configure? [21:49] it isnt [21:49] thks [21:50] number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. [21:50] Bardamu: That most likely means that for some reason the kernel can't access your USB drive, for whatever that knowledge is worth. [21:52] xenos_: Actually you dont even need a xorg.conf when using Ubuntu. [21:53] minor issue, i dont see a boot option menu when starting the laptop, why is that [21:53] shouldnt it ask me what i want to boot? [21:54] silenz: No. You have to configure your bootloader (grub) for asking you. === whoever is now known as Guest95946 [21:54] oh ok [21:54] silenz: The default is: "Be quiet, dont ask, just boot."

[22:32] (I haven't rebooted) === sid is now known as Guest51972 [22:34] GH0: I'd stick with NM since it at least ensures the wpa configuration is correct, and monitor the syslog as you make changes to the connection configuration.

[22:52] ruben23: when you connect the headset, are you certain it cuts off audio output to the PC speakers? echo feedback is usually caused by your microphone picking up the speaker output [22:52] bekks: Can you suggest a guide? Many of the Ubuntu wiki pages suggest using checkinstall. [22:53] It looks like nginx releases their build files on their site. http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu/pool/nginx/n/nginx/ [22:53] abackstrom: checkinstall is for packaging the "output" of make install - nothing else. If you want to have more file to be packaged, you cant use checkinstal.. [22:53] abackstrom: Use the ubuntu nginx packaging as a template and add to it [22:54] abackstrom: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html [22:54] TJ-: are there any ehanceer or detail se the audio setting and mic for the ubuntu desktop..or maybe update the driver..? or beter hardware to setup..?

[22:57] black0ut: not re-direct, just accesses files via the link [22:57] black0ut: think of it as a pointer [22:59] ikonia: ok, so how do I change permissions so that wordpress can write files (-> I am trying to install a new theme) [22:59] ikonia: cause /var/www/wordpress is owned by root [23:00] black0ut: sudo cp ... [23:00] black0ut: chown it [23:00] black0ut: be VERY careful with permissions and wordpress, a very big and common exploit is theme permissions [23:01] right now it is running on my localhost in a VirtualBox, but thanks for the heads up [23:02] hey ubuntu [23:02] ikonia: ..for my understanding: if the link is a pointer, then why would I need to change the rights in /var/www/wordpress instead of changing it in /usr/share/wordpress? [23:03] black0ut: you change the target, not the link [23:03] I want to forward traffic on my localhost through port 4567 to the same port on a remote host through ssh. what would that ssh command look like? I feel like I'm supposed to use `ssh -L` but I don't think I'm using it correctly [23:03] ikonia: and shouln't I chown the wordpress directory and all subdirectories to www-data like I have it with my joomla installation? [23:03] ikonia: ok that makes sense, thanks [23:03] black0ut: if you want it to be secure, no [23:04] ikonia: but right now root is the owner, is that fine? [23:04] nevermind!

I tried google several times but I cant find anything. [23:48] hi [23:48] how to extract data from file using hex offsets? [23:49] NetCatty: File extensions mean nothing in non-Windows. Whatsthe content of those files? [23:49] bekks: its a backupfile from twrp [23:49] NetCatty: Whats "twrp"? [23:49] NetCatty: "rename '\.img' '.win' *.img" [23:50] bekks: recovery backup like clockworkmod [23:50] what's clockworkmod? [23:50] NetCatty: Then you have to write some code that will convert it. [23:50] NetCatty, You might ask in #android this is ubuntu supprt [23:50] bekks: I have my backup files in img from my cockwrokmod backup but I only have twrp on my phone so I need to convert them to .win [23:51] NetCatty: Then write an application that will convert your backups from one software to a totally different one. [23:52] Beldar: I'm currently working with buntu so no its not a android problem. My android wont start, the only backup I have is cwm and my only recovery tool wont accept anything else than .win [23:53] bekks: is there no converter for image files? iso to img and backwards works. there has to be a img to win [23:53] NetCatty, You just need the right tool, in general the android users are using sdk [23:53] I assume, ;) [23:53] NetCatty: Again: File extensions mean nothing in Linux. [23:54] NetCatty: you need to convert the content, not the file extension. [23:54] bekks: alright but with what tool? [23:54] NetCatty: Ask the clockworkmod and TWRP devs [23:55] NetCatty: With the tool you have to code first. There is no such tool that converts between two so specific backup solutions. [23:55] hm
