| nathaneltitane | hello! i would like to become a maintainer for an application that hasn'T been updated for a while as a deb package. I have created my ppa, generated the project, described the branch and asked for a pull (CVS), the first build attempt returned this: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/166382622/buildlog.txt.gz | 00:01 |
| nathaneltitane | i am not really experienced with any of this.. could someone help me please? | 00:01 |
| harsesus | this isn | 00:04 |
| harsesus | t the dev channel | 00:05 |
| rww | nathaneltitane: have you set up bzr launchpad-login yet? | 00:06 |
| harsesus | that would be #ubuntu_devel i believe | 00:06 |
| rww | #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-packaging | 00:06 |
| nathaneltitane | rww: i've done it all through the launchpad web platform | 00:06 |

| LeMike | where to ask questions about makefile ? i wonder if I can have a group that is "invisible" to the make command | 00:12 |
| === adamculp is now known as Guest5568 | ||
| TJ- | LeMike: You could do it using ACLs | 00:13 |
| TJ- | LeMike: see for example https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs | 00:14 |
| LeMike | Hm. Well I just learn makefiles, I call those "foo:" groups. Currently I like to include another group "install:" but want to avoid that `make install` can be run. In addition it seems like variables can't be defined in that "group" | 00:17 |
| LeMike | But thanks TJ- . got to google a lot | 00:17 |
| TJ- | LeMike: You're lost me! | 00:19 |
| LeMike | Line https://gist.github.com/sourcerer-mike/f6516962d7d0e752bf69#file-makefile-L13 is my current problem. After that I try to "include" another "group" | 00:20 |

| silenz | ah ok | 00:23 |
| z1haze | just nulled my box and was good up to 20gbps | 00:23 |
| silenz | the gui seems a little laggy in ubuntu | 00:23 |
| silenz | like slightly laggy i dunno if thats just ubuntu or what | 00:23 |
| LeMike | can a makefile group call another group but with using the local variables TJ- ? | 00:28 |
| Beldar | pietiebrein, you could do a netboot (mini) as a frugal, and use grub to boot the iso. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot | 00:29 |
| pietiebrein | I've tried using Unetbootin, but GRUB complained about a kernel needing to be loaded. I think Unetbootin might be obsolete. | 00:31 |

| TJ- | clypso: If the camera has a microphone, is it connected via a USB audio device, or by analog connection to the default sound device's input port? | 01:35 |
| christian__ | Well I think they are similar in how they run a .run file. What do I open it with? | 01:35 |
| Smurfier | Anyone feel like helping with a network issue? | 01:38 |
| Stainedhat | christian__: you would just "chmod +x file.run" to make sure it's executable then run it with "./file.run" | 01:38 |
| clypso | It is connected via USB @TJ | 01:38 |

| Stainedhat | no prob | 01:39 |
| Stainedhat | Smurfier: why aren't they playing nice? | 01:40 |

| clypso | How do i do this TJ | 01:40 |
| Stainedhat | Smurfier: or maybe I should ask what are your trying to do between them | 01:40 |
| Smurfier | Don't know. Never had this happen before. All of the computers can ping each other, but the ubuntu one doesn't show up on the network or sees the windows machines. | 01:41 |

| Stainedhat | Smurfier: have you setup samba? | 01:42 |
| Smurfier | Yes. | 01:42 |

| Smurfier | Both. | 01:43 |
| Stainedhat | are you running windows 7 or 8? | 01:44 |
| Smurfier | 8 on my laptop, 7 on my desktop | 01:44 |
| clypso | HEY TJ. It shows "Front Mic" under Realtek ALC7888 chip. Instead of my webcam. How do i switch this ? | 01:44 |
| Stainedhat | i think in 8 you need to turn on network discovery and file sharing.. search for network and sharing center the change advanced sharing settings.. turn on both then check for the other shares on your ubuntu machine | 01:45 |
| Smurfier | Did that about a month ago. | 01:45 |

| Stainedhat | Smurfier: have you tried mounting it with mount.cifs on the ubuntu machine?? and you've edited your smb.conf with your linux share? | 01:47 |
| mguy | cuddylier: RAID has nothing to do with SSD caching | 01:48 |

| cuddylier | mguy Am I able to use a SSD as cache with no extra hardware then? | 01:48 |
| Smurfier | Just can't get ubuntu to see the windows network. | 01:49 |
| mguy | cuddylier: You need software support | 01:49 |
| cuddylier | mguy Is that in ubuntu by default? I couldn't find a lot on Google about it. | 01:49 |
| TJ- | clypso: OK, maybe it is recognised automatically by the driver but the config has problems, but I see bug reports for other distros about it, and don't see any quirks handling for its ID in the kernel driver | 01:51 |
| clypso | yea . Very depressing haha | 01:51 |
| clypso | So maybe just throw webcam in a big bond fire with my windows cd's ? | 01:52 |
| Stainedhat | Smurfier: Ok, so it works from the windows side to linux which is good. for the windows share to mount in linux you may need to type the following: "sudo mount.cifs //windowsIP/sharename /home/user/mountpoint -o user=username" | 01:52 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Guest62820 | ||
| Stainedhat | make sure the directory /home/user/mountpoint exists and is empty | 01:53 |

| lucasredsn0w | Ahh... I'm not quite sure | 02:05 |
| Stainedhat | RedLance: yes, just choose your wireless adapter as the capture interface | 02:06 |
| TJ- | RedLance: The interfaces don't go away, so yes, of course. | 02:06 |
| RedLance | Stainedhat: No wireless in this box | 02:06 |
| TJ- | RedLance: obviously, nothing will be happening so you'll not see any data | 02:06 |
| mguy | RedLance: Does your firewall/gateway show traffic stats at all? | 02:07 |
| TJ- | RedLance: also, learn how to use it: "man iftop" | 02:07 |
| RedLance | Alright, I'll have to make the rest of the family "suffer" while I get some traffic | 02:07 |
| RedLance | mguy: Sadly no... | 02:07 |
| Stainedhat | RedLance: my bad i misread your question.. yes but i don't think you'll see much traffic with the interface disconnected | 02:07 |
| lucasredsn0w | RedLance: Yesterday I've attacked my home router with my computer | 02:08 |
| RedLance | Ok, thanks everybody. I'll go give it a whirl. | 02:08 |
| Stainedhat | RedLance: you can also try lsof -i | 02:08 |
| lucasredsn0w | And my home's network shut down | 02:08 |
| lucasredsn0w | For.. nearly an hour | 02:08 |

| confusedmarsupia | Hi there, is there an alternative to samba which actually works out of the box when sharing with 7? | 02:27 |
| Xuisce | hi all | 02:28 |
| liuxu | hi | 02:28 |
| irssi-mike | confusedmarsupia: i've read that nfs is faster but less secure | 02:28 |
| tharkun | confusedmarsupia: nope unless you mess with Windows to accept ssh conections which is not particularly easy | 02:28 |
| confusedmarsupia | security is of zero concern, my aunt just wants it to work and she will not touch a config file or terminal | 02:29 |
| tharkun | irssi-mike: nfs and windows don't exactly mix nicely | 02:29 |
| irssi-mike | tharkun: good to know | 02:29 |
| confusedmarsupia | I want the equivalent of "turn off all security and share everything with everyone" | 02:30 |
| irssi-mike | confusedmarsupia: well seems like you could map a network drive, would be the easiest thing for her | 02:30 |
| tharkun | confusedmarsupia: the last time i messed with mandriva they had a nice kde interface to configure samba. Actually gnome also has one I'm just not familiar with it | 02:30 |
| confusedmarsupia | It seems strange that sharing is not a default part of ubuntu, is there a reason for that? | 02:32 |
| \x00 | NetFlix Desktop Icon is not OPENING. | 02:32 |
| confusedmarsupia | eh, screw it, I think I'll tell her to use thumb drives. | 02:34 |
| \x00 | How about her index drivers | 02:35 |
| \x00 | drives* | 02:35 |

| AmbiguousOutlier | ~$ rmmod kvm | 02:35 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | Error: Module kvm is in use by: kvm_intel | 02:35 |
| irssi-mike | confusedmarsupia: if you're sharing a folder in windows then linux file manager or nautilus (not sure which one is default) will display it under networks | 02:36 |
| daftykins | AmbiguousOutlier: it means the module is active. what are you REALLY trying to do? | 02:36 |
| confusedmarsupia | it doesn't irssi-mike, the windows computer shows up but it wont open | 02:37 |
| confusedmarsupia | similarly, the windows pc sees ubuntu but wont open the shared folders | 02:37 |
| irssi-mike | confusedmarsupia: if you want to share linux files with windows then of course samba, once you map the drive windows will retian the login information. | 02:38 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | daftykins: following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation, but my virt-manager on the guest is throwing up an error stating it can't find the iso | 02:38 |
| irssi-mike | confusedmarsupia: meaning your linux will be drive L:\ in win 7, for example | 02:38 |
| daftykins | AmbiguousOutlier: so you put it in the path it expects? | 02:39 |

| AmbiguousOutlier | KVM was supposed to be the official supported VM?! | 02:40 |
| daftykins | AmbiguousOutlier: regardless of whether it is i don't have any experience with it, so i'm just asking | 02:41 |
| hesiodo | hola | 02:42 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | daftykins: cool, i'll google virtualbox, know any good how to's? | 02:42 |
| daftykins | AmbiguousOutlier: nothing off hand i'm afraid. just be sure to use the non-open one if you want things like USB support | 02:42 |
| confusedmarsupia | yeah, no the ubuntu machine still can't see any of the win shares and trying to map a drive just says windows can't access the ubuntu machine | 02:46 |
| \x00 | g | 02:47 |
| \x00 | l | 02:47 |
| confusedmarsupia | this is a pretty crappy user experience and I am getting raged at here. I searched in the software centre, but i am not seeing any samba gui options | 02:47 |
| confusedmarsupia | or more acurately, it says samba has a gui, but there is no reference to it anywhere and running "samba" just starts the service. | 02:48 |

| irssi-mike | Kekai: you got a question? | 03:13 |
| Kekai | I run A lenovo Ideapad model s10 Netbook. I have 200GB of Hard dis space and 512mb of Ram. I want to upgrade to 13.10. I currently use 12.04 LTS. Is it a good Idea to upgrade to a non LTS version to prepare for 14.04 LTS? | 03:14 |
| Kekai | Will my Hardware support anything higher than 12.04 LTS? | 03:14 |
| Beldar | Kekai, wait till 14.04 is released and upgrade to it, both are lts | 03:15 |
| Kekai | I heard of new features in anything past 12.04 LTS and I didnt know if I should upgrade. | 03:16 |
| rww | Kekai: there are two supported versions to upgrade to directly from 12.04: 12.10, and 14.04 (when it's released). If you upgrade to 12.10, you will then have to go 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 > 14.04, which will suck | 03:16 |
| rww | Kekai: download a 13.10 live CD and boot from the CD (without installing) to try it out? | 03:17 |
| aaron_ | Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of the letterboxes on my screen when I am in 1600 x 900 reso? | 03:17 |

| Kekai | *Hard drive wipe? | 03:17 |
| rww | Kekai: that would work too, yes | 03:17 |
| Kekai | okay I am backing up my data. | 03:17 |

| Kekai | Vista was a disaster, 7 is okay unless you got a bug in it that makes it look pirated. | 03:21 |
| irssi-mike | Kekai: I liked 3.1, xp and then 7.. 8 made me crazy until 8.1 came out | 03:21 |
| wheatthin | bblinder, just cause you get more graphical functionality.. and it's rounder I guess, so more appealing | 03:21 |
| Kekai | 8 is a disaster | 03:21 |
| XUisce1 | thats true i hate Vista as much as the next persoon | 03:21 |

| obsidian | Recently, my Mozilla applications stopped working, well, actually they stopped starting i.e., whenever I clicked on 'Firefox' or 'Thunderbird' in my application launcher, nothing happened. I tried launching my applications from the command line to see what the heck was up and for whatever reason I get this error "Could not create gnome accelerators directory '~/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied." I found a temporary work-around at | 04:28 |
| obsidian | the command line with 'sudo' but do I really have to give Firefox and Thunderbird super user privileges whenever I want to use them? | 04:28 |
| === lazers is now known as lusers | ||
| somsip | sounds like at some point in the past you've run something as sudo when it wasn't needed, and that has incorrectly changed permissions on some directories, so now you need to use sudo again just to make them work | 04:29 |
| obsidian | somsip, interesting. Thanks, so ..do you know (off the top of your head) if there's any quick fix? | 04:30 |
| Kekai | Does 13.10 come with Wifi drivers? | 04:30 |
| somsip | obsidian: run it in terminal, and look for which directories are 'permission denied'. IF these are in home, you should be safe to chwon obsidian:obsidian -R {directory}, or whatever your user name is | 04:31 |
| rww | or just do that with directory set to /home/obsidian/ | 04:31 |
| somsip | rww: make sense | 04:32 |
| somsip | *makes | 04:32 |
| obsidian | Awesome! Ok, ..thank you. I'm gonna give it shot .. | 04:32 |

| Tom1 | how to install puppy linux with ubuntu using grub? | 04:38 |
| aidalgol | Is configuring grub2 any different, from the user's perspective, when using EFI? | 04:38 |

| Beldar | aidalgol, to broad a question really, can you define the configuring you mean? | 04:41 |
| BlueProtoman | rww: What's the difference between that and regular upgrade? | 04:41 |
| aidalgol | Beldar: Is the process still 1) update-grub 2) install-grub ? | 04:41 |
| TLF | it's there an explanation for apt-cache to work like charm as a regular user, and to take more than 10 minutes for a single search as a root user? | 04:41 |
| obsidian | somsip, here's the verdict: I changed the permission of the folder in question with chmod and now my Mozilla apps are working just fine from the app launcher! THANKS A TON!! | 04:41 |

| Diplomatico | Ok. | 04:50 |

| Diplomatico | Ben64, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6941337/ | 04:56 |
| Ben64 | Diplomatico: not seeing anything being plugged in. are you sure the drive works? does the usb port work for other devices? | 05:00 |
| Diplomatico | The usb port does work. | 05:00 |
| Diplomatico | This pen drive is not working since I formatted it. | 05:00 |
| Diplomatico | It's not recognized by any OS. | 05:01 |
| Diplomatico | I even opened it, and tested the continuity with a multitester... | 05:01 |
| Diplomatico | And it read ok. | 05:01 |
| === JordanJ2 is now known as JJ6 | ||
| Ben64 | uh... you shouldn't be attaching a multimeter to a flash drive. if its not working on any computer, it's likely busted | 05:02 |
| Flat4ForLife | this ^^ | 05:02 |
| Flat4ForLife | your pen drive worked before you formatted it? | 05:03 |
| Diplomatico | Oh... | 05:03 |
| Diplomatico | It worked. | 05:03 |
| === duoi is now known as duoi_afk | ||
| Diplomatico | Yes, it was recognized. | 05:04 |
| Flat4ForLife | what did you format it to? and what did you use? | 05:04 |
| Diplomatico | So far I formatted it with gparted I think, in Puppy. | 05:04 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| Diplomatico | And then, boom, not recognized. | 05:04 |
| Flat4ForLife | so even gparted doesnt recognize it? | 05:04 |
| Diplomatico | Not Gparted, nothing... | 05:05 |
| === JJ6 is now known as Jordan-0 | ||
| === Dr_Manhattan is now known as DrManhattan | ||
| Flat4ForLife | have you tried it in another computer? not just another OS? | 05:05 |
| Diplomatico | Yes I tried different computers. | 05:06 |
| Flat4ForLife | as Ben64 said, if no computer recognizes it, then it probably died | 05:07 |
| Diplomatico | It's so unlikely to be dead, because it's just after formatting, it's suspicious. | 05:08 |
| Diplomatico | I think I formatted it to ext3. | 05:08 |
| Diplomatico | Can't remember for sure. | 05:08 |
| Flat4ForLife | well, gparted would recognize that. however, it could have been that something was not recognizing it after you formatted it and just needed to be done another way, but when you put the multimeter on it then it fried it | 05:09 |
| Flat4ForLife | "could" have, not saying it did | 05:09 |
| Diplomatico | The multimeter was one of the last actions.It didn't work way before testing it. | 05:09 |
| Flat4ForLife | any indicator light or anything on the pen drive? | 05:10 |
| Ben64 | even if the format failed hard, it'd still show up in dmesg | 05:10 |
| Ben64 | its not sending any information at all | 05:11 |
| Diplomatico | no ligths... | 05:11 |
| Diplomatico | Ok, so no hope. | 05:12 |
| Diplomatico | Not even a clue to what to do with the hardware?? | 05:12 |
| Flat4ForLife | its a flash drive, just toss it and get a new one | 05:12 |
| Diplomatico | That would be the easy/capitalist way. | 05:13 |
| Diplomatico | Haha. | 05:13 |
| DrManhattan | no no no | 05:14 |

| Diplomatico | No, DrManhattan. | 05:15 |
| Diplomatico | What is that>? | 05:15 |
| Diplomatico | Is it the virtual thing for windows? | 05:15 |
| DrManhattan | Diplomatico, a program called bootice is what I use to restore flash drives to their original state when i format them strangely | 05:15 |
| Diplomatico | Ok, let me try it! | 05:16 |
| Diplomatico | Do I google it? | 05:16 |
| DrManhattan | it is a program for windows, so you'd need a windows VM or a windows box | 05:16 |
| DrManhattan | Hold on I'll get you the directions too | 05:16 |
| Diplomatico | Ok, ty... | 05:16 |
| DrManhattan | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/ and go down to where it says "Or alternately, Windows users could use BOOTICE" | 05:17 |

| mogey | ubuntu 13.10 | 05:34 |
| Flat4ForLife | mogey, have you used the "Software and Updates" option in system settings? | 05:35 |
| jozefk | Flat4ForLife, 12.04.4 64bit. nvidia optimus, which is supported now natively by latest nvidia drivers I read on the internet. so far what I tried is this: first it was working with nouveau drivers but the external monitor on HDMI didn't work good. graphics were delaying and so on. so I tried bumblebee, that one messed up the whole thing. now I want to just install nvidia drivers and use those and see if it will work | 05:36 |
| Flat4ForLife | jozefk, same with mogey, did you try the "Software and Updates" option in system settings to install the proprietary drivers that way? | 05:38 |
| Flat4ForLife | im unsure if thats in 12.04 though | 05:38 |
| Flat4ForLife | just asking | 05:38 |
| mogey | ive done the software and updates, but when i click details it doesnt show my gpu under graphics | 05:39 |
| Flat4ForLife | under "Additional Drivers" it doesnt list your card? | 05:40 |

| jozefk | Does it makes sense to install lxde on Ubuntu 12.04 and use it instead of unity? Would it work and how long? | 08:16 |
| keplr | Why not use Lubuntu? | 08:21 |
| rww | because they already have Ubuntu installed, I expect | 08:22 |
| jozefk | Is lubuntu LTS? | 08:22 |
| rww | jozefk: Lubuntu 10.04 was unofficially, I think 12.04 isn't, and 14.04 will be. | 08:23 |
| jozefk | That's why I would like to install lxde on Ubuntu if possible and if it is supported | 08:24 |
| irssi-mike | jozefk: i'd compare your choice in GUI to which brand of tires to use will void my warranty | 08:29 |
| jozefk | Don't know if it will work and be supported or not | 08:31 |
| Wug | when it comes to "officially supported", most things are supported via trial and error | 08:32 |
| Wug | only a few simple sets of things are easily and uniquely reproducible, and have a subject matter expert here to help with | 08:32 |
| Wug | it might be that what you want is impossible, or it might be easy, but chances are only one or two of us here has ever done it, and they're probably afk. you won't know until you try | 08:33 |
| Wug | if you run into issues along the way, post about them and those of us who have run into similar problems in the past will chime in as they notice | 08:34 |
| Wug | you can do too many things with ubuntu to document or support all of them. sometimes you're on your own | 08:34 |
| jozefk | So you are saying most of you are just using unity? | 08:34 |
| Wug | I was irritated by unity at first but it has grown on me | 08:34 |
| Wug | and gotten better | 08:35 |
| jozefk | Then I have to get used to it too | 08:35 |
| Wug | well, you certainly don't have to | 08:35 |
| Wug | but experimenting with your graphical environment is a fairly in-depth undertaking | 08:36 |
| Wug | it will require lots of time, work, and experience to get anything done. | 08:36 |
| Wug | and also research | 08:36 |
| Wug | but if you have no shortage of those things, you can change it to be however you want | 08:37 |

| Anden | all that happens is that nothing happens when i press down on the mouse button and when i release it it constantly holds down shift >_< | 08:54 |
| MaximumTimbo | hewhomust, passwd doesn't work | 08:56 |
| hewhomust | MaximumTimbo: tried booting into a live cd chrooting into the partition and changing the password? | 08:56 |
| MaximumTimbo | hewhomust, I've never done that before. Docs? | 08:57 |

| hewhomust | irssi-mike: your right | 08:58 |
| hewhomust | thats it | 08:58 |

| IOerror | agreed, but I don't know how to see what the issue is | 10:48 |
| ikonia | narroing it down | 10:48 |
| ikonia | eg: does it hit grub, does the kernel start to boot, what point in the boot process does it hit, you see the partitions from live media, | 10:49 |
| IOerror | Ok, if I boot into a Live CD, I can see the partitions just fine, I try reinstalling GRUB and it still won't boot. Install LILO and I get the same problem. | 10:49 |
| IOerror | I don't know if it even hits the bootloader, it just does to a blinking _ | 10:50 |
| ikonia | re-installing grub, installing lilo - it's just random | 10:50 |

| Bardamu | Hi | 12:50 |
| cfhowlett | Bardamu, greetings | 12:50 |
| hewhomust | hi Bardamu | 12:50 |
| bugs_bugger | hi there. anybody here savvy with logical volume management? i upgraded my system and used an existing lvm setup. now, when i extend a partition with lvextend, it displays as being bigger with lvdisplay, but the filesystem itself(nemo) shows it in its old size. do i need to apply the new lv-size to the filesystem somehow? | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | !lvm | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 12:51 |
| Bardamu | I have an error when I'm trying to install ubuntu: (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system | 12:52 |
| bekks | bugs_bugger: you need to resize the filesystem, too. | 12:52 |
| TJ- | bugs_bugger: lvresize doesn't automatically extend the contained file-system; depends on the FS type | 12:52 |
| Bardamu | My iso is good I checked with md5sum | 12:52 |
| bugs_bugger | bekks, TJ-: i know i did that once but forgot. since i use lvm i can't use gparted or the like to resize the filesystem of the partition. is that correct? | 12:53 |
| TJ- | bugs_bugger: When using lvextend/lvresize, both have a --resizefs option | 12:53 |
| Bardamu | I tried to make bootable my usb with dd_rescue, lili usb creator... | 12:53 |
| TJ- | bugs_bugger: If it's an ext file-system, just do "resize2fs /dev/mapper/VG-LV" ... that will usually do an online resize | 12:54 |
| bugs_bugger | TJ-: thanks! that switch i did not find in the documentation | 12:54 |
| bugs_bugger | TJ-: resize2fs...im gonna write that down for the next time. thank you. do i need to do that on swap as well? | 12:56 |
| bekks | bugs_bugger: If you resized swap - yes. | 12:56 |
| TJ- | bugs_bugger: No, for swap you'd "swapoff /dev/..." then "mkswap /dev/...." then "swapon /dev/..." | 12:56 |
| bugs_bugger | thanks guys. finally i got space to breathe again ;) | 12:59 |

| cfhowlett | uporot, pretty sure that's grench | 13:11 |
| cfhowlett | John_John_, in a perfect world, you can just upgrade to the new version. | 13:11 |
| TJ- | John_John_: We have the "do-release-upgrade" tool for that, and the GUI has it's own front-end. You'll get a popup notice when a 'distribution upgrade' is available | 13:11 |

| _TWS | if 12.04 LTS is supposed to be supported until 2018, how horrible will it be by then if it's already horribly out of date now? | 13:23 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: it won't be horrible at all | 13:23 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: everything will be patched up to date | 13:24 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: if you want the latest and greatest use 13.10, and if you want to live on the bleeding edge 14.04 | 13:24 |
| _TWS | no, I want stable and up to date | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | _TWS, gee I don't know - let me jump in my time machine and see | 13:24 |
| _TWS | not bleeding edge | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | _TWS, so then install the latest release and enjoyu | 13:25 |
| _TWS | but 12.04 is already way behind on updates in the dev system | 13:25 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: no | 13:25 |
| cfhowlett | !lts|_TWS, | 13:25 |
| ubottu | _TWS,: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 13:25 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: 12.04 is always absolutely bang up to date | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Tws, LTS is 5 years not 6 | 13:25 |
| Ben64 | if you want up to date and stable, use 14.04 when it comes out | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: lts packages have more scruitinized so will be updated less frequently | 13:26 |
| pulsar78 | for a filesystem expert: formatting an efi partition fat32 (32mb min size) gives error:not enough clusters. But 512*65536=32mb | 13:26 |
| _TWS | when it comes out... maybe | 13:26 |
| _TWS | for now, so many hoops to get gcc and other stuff updated | 13:26 |
| Ben64 | pulsar78: 32MB and 32MiB aren't the same | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | _tws: precise is supported til April 2017 | 13:26 |
| _TWS | heck, I was actually surprised a fresh install didn't have gcc | 13:26 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: why would it have gcc? | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | _tws: why, not everyone wants to compile | 13:27 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: normal people never need to compile | 13:27 |
| _TWS | normal people? | 13:27 |
| === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence|away | ||
| ActionParsnip | _tws: yes. Regular users wanting to web browse and chat will probably never need gcc | 13:28 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: do you understand the point of Long Term Support releases? | 13:28 |
| _TWS | and to think people getting pissy about FreeBSD changing the toolchain from gcc to clang | 13:28 |
| _TWS | web browse = firefox on windows | 13:28 |
| TJ- | gcc is installed by default by ubuntu-desktop in order to support DKMS builds of out-of-tree kernel modules, such as nvidia and fglx, virtualbox, etc., in later releases | 13:28 |
| cfhowlett | _TWS, ??? | 13:28 |
| _TWS | server = Freebsd and/or linux when necessary | 13:28 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: this discussion is better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:28 |
| pulsar78 | Ben64: sorry, i meant 32 MiB | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | _TWS sure you're in the right channel? | 13:29 |
| _TWS | yeah, thsi is ubuntu, right | 13:29 |
| Tom1 | gordonjcp: i want to add puppy linux to grub2 menu, in ubuntu , how to do it? | 13:29 |
| _TWS | I was wondering why the LTS version was so far behind | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | Tom1: why are you asking me? | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | !grub | Tom1 | 13:29 |
| ubottu | Tom1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | _TWS tell that in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here | 13:29 |
| pulsar78 | Ben64: weird is when i use +33M it works .. | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: it's not | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: it's always absolutely patched up to date, with the latest updates | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Tj-: i dont have it installed here. It will be pulled in as a dep of nvidia-current but its not default | 13:30 |
| _TWS | how is talking about the ubuntu toolchain off topic/ | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | _TWS this channel is for support | 13:30 |
| _TWS | that's why I had to add a custom ppa to get gcc 4.8? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | _tws: LTS release concentrate on being rock solid, so packages are scruitinized and tested more | 13:30 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: why would you install a different version? | 13:31 |
| TJ- | ActionParsnip: It's in the suggests stanza for the -desktop packages ("apt-cache rdepends gcc | grep desktop | wc -l" = 5) | 13:31 |
| gordonjcp | _TWS: that's stupid | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | _tws: the inbetween releases are not so concerned with stability as the LTS releases so packages are more frequently ugraded | 13:31 |
| _TWS | because I'm working with bleeding edge software. I just don't want a bleeding edge OS too | 13:32 |
| TJ- | _TWS: that's what chroot's are useful for | 13:32 |
| the_joker_ | _TWS, sorry me not getting it either .... you work with bleeding edge ... software but refuse a bleeding edge system ? | 13:32 |
| TJ- | the_joker_: Very sensible; the last thing you want is your own system being unpredictable | 13:33 |
| _TWS | joker: if you're hunting for pigeons, do you really want to do that from the back of a speeding truck? | 13:33 |
| the_joker_ | @TJ- yes, or any other ... container / chroot like solution ... | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | ??? What the hey? | 13:33 |
| _TWS | bleeding edge software does not require bleeding edge platform | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | _TWS did you have support question, too? | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Tj-: ahh http://paste.ubuntu.com/6943153/ not in Lubuntu then :-) | 13:34 |
| Ben64 | _TWS: yet you're cool with using PPAs to get bleeding edge stuff.... anyway, this still isn't on topic here, you can continue pondering the meaning of LTS in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:34 |
| OerHeks | this is going nowhere | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | _tws: if you compile using bleeding edge libs then you will need those in the OS to make them run as deps | 13:35 |
| _TWS | ok, I'll go there and let you go back to talking about the best way to dumb down server-class OS to desktop browsing | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | _tws: so ipso-facto you will need a bleeding edge platform to run it on, due to deps | 13:35 |
| TJ- | _TWS: with the 12.04 LTS Enablement Stack you can keep with the up-to-date kernels and X stack, and then use LXC or chroot for your development stack | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | !server | 13:36 |

| ActionParsnip | cyruseck: seems to be libc6 but you'll want the 32bit one | 13:53 |
| jasef | user__: Command Line Interface | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cyruseck: could ask in #ubuntu-steam | 13:53 |
| user__ | jasef: do you know how to install tcpdump? | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | User__: be sure to add your user to the wireshark group amd log off and on | 13:54 |
| cyruseck | ActionParsnip: Ok, Sorry didn't think of asking there | 13:55 |
| jasef | user__: not offhand, but my assumption would be 'sudo apt-get install tcpdump' | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | User__: according to what I am seeing online, wireshark has a GUI | 13:55 |
| user__ | ActionParsnip: yeah the default is GUI | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | User__: dont see what cli cant be an option though. Useful on servers. | 13:56 |
| user__ | just how to figure out the configuration options I guess | 13:59 |

| ubottu | BlitzHere: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 14:11 |

| ActionParsnip | Blackflag: you will need gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,to get write access | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: why did you think you needed the RPM, when Ubuntu uses DEB files? | 14:19 |
| kry | I don't know, Adobe page gave me a choice of .YUM, .tar.gz or .rpm | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Blackflag: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybhfiwvuh2zcbii/xorg.conf | 14:20 |
| cfhowlett | kry, next time use the software center to install | 14:20 |
| kry | .rpm looked the shortest | 14:20 |
| BlackFlag | wheatthin, i did 1) sudo stop lightdm 2) loged in tty1 3)sudo X -configure 4) copy and past xorg.conf to /etc/X11 and edited it 5) sudo start lightdm... | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: if you had done some research instead of running to the Adobe website you would have seen how it is installed | 14:20 |
| BlackFlag | Thank you ActionParsnip ! I will try it | 14:21 |

| demian | heyguys | 14:25 |
| kry | What is the reason for .rpm then? | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Hi demian | 14:26 |
| demian | can someone help me with installing something | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: for rpm based distros like Suse, Mandriva etc | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | kry, RPM is for redhat linux distros - different flavor of OS | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | demian: install what? | 14:26 |
| demian | its backup software for android.. the download is a .tgz file -- and I dont know how to take it from there. | 14:27 |
| demian | (http://www.clockworkmod.com/carbon) | 14:27 |
| jozefk | Why LTS releases are every two years and then they are supported for 5 years? What's the reason for over lapping? | 14:27 |
| kry | Does Lubuntu have gnome-system-monitor or something like that? | 14:27 |
| demian | The archive has files such as run.sh and adb | 14:28 |
| BlackFlag | ActionParsnip, do i need to change something more or only the driver? | 14:28 |
| jasef | jozefk: a lot of corporate entities are very slow upgrading their systems. | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Blackflag: what is the highest res you can run? | 14:28 |
| jasef | jozefk: Usually, if there's not a good reason to, people will avoid upgrading critical systems full stop. | 14:28 |
| BlackFlag | ActionParsnip, 1280x800 | 14:29 |
| cfhowlett | jasef, as demonstrated by people STILL running XP ... | 14:29 |
| jasef | cfhowlett: that fact makes me cry. | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: give people chance to plan for upgrades, comlanies will do years of testing etc for when they upgrade a production server | 14:29 |
| jozefk | How about users here in the channel? What do you do when new LTS is out? Waiting till 2017 or install the new one? | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | jasef, that fact makes me laugh. I'm in China looking at so many XP cash registers and Point Of Sale systems ... | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackFlag: then change the res in the xorg.conf file ifnit is differnt | 14:30 |
| kry | Hey, I'm still running XP too | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | jozefk, different users, different needs. ME: LTS only | 14:30 |
| jasef | cfhowlett: What.... why the hell would they use XP? Wouldn't you want Windows Embedded on them if they're running Windows? | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: i reinstall each new LTS then it bakes til the next one is out | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | jasef, *china* does things - different. | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Jasef: if they arent on the web and the shoe fits, why not? | 14:31 |
| jozefk | That means most of you do reinstall every two years. Makes sense | 14:31 |
| kry | Can you upgrade between LTS versions? | 14:32 |
| OerHeks | jozefk, or any 6 months | 14:32 |
| jasef | I, unfortunately, don't have a computer that I can run Ubuntu on consistently right now. | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: i do, but some just leave it til its dead. Some reinstall every new release | 14:32 |
| kry | Without having to delete the previous system? | 14:32 |
| cfhowlett | kry, you can upgrade directly from LTS to LTS so - 12.04 to 14.04 | 14:32 |
| jasef | Laptop wireless doesn't work with Network Manager, use my desktop for Windows games, except the CPU is burning up and overheating constantly right now | 14:32 |
| OerHeks | kry, sure you can | 14:32 |
| BlackFlag | there is difference in the frequency, but i dont know how to write it... te output of hwinfo --monitor is here, ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/EFuzPNBZ | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: if you like. I like a fresh install without fluff from the old install around | 14:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Blackflag: i though my file had that... | 14:33 |
| qengho | Hi all. I'm trying to boot a CD for the first time in ages. I find I'm dumped into a initramfs shell, but it's not clear why -- no messages or anything. A strange thing, I think, is that after the shell prompt, the kernel displays the device-discovery lines for the CD device. So, I suspect that it's trying to rotate root, hasn't settled USB, aborts silently. Advice? | 14:33 |
| jozefk | Best distro :) | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: are you wanting to install Nvidia drivers per chance? | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jozefk: in some cases | 14:34 |
| kry | Nope, VBox guest additions | 14:34 |
| kry | It worked for Autorun under Ubuntu, but it has some problem here | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: the guest additions are installed using virtualbox itself | 14:34 |
| jasef | Just type sudo ./blahblah.Run | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: the app will download an iso you can mount | 14:35 |
| jasef | I don't know why I capitalised the R. | 14:35 |
| kry | It's been already done | 14:35 |
| jasef | ActionParsnip: the iso file has a VBoxAdditions.run file on it. | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Jasef: ah | 14:35 |
| kry | It's mounted, but that one doesn't want to run | 14:35 |
| kry | -r-xr-xr-x 1 kry kry 9665995 nov 29 18:47 VBoxLinuxAdditions.run | 14:36 |
| jasef | kry: try sudo sh ./VBoxAdditions.run | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Kry: sudo bash filename ,should do it | 14:36 |
| demian | So when I try to install it, I get this in Terminal: | 14:36 |
| demian | sudo ./run.sh | 14:36 |
| demian | ./run.sh: 2: ./run.sh: ./adb: not found | 14:36 |
| demian | ./run.sh: 7: ./run.sh: ./adb: not found | 14:36 |
| jasef | Well, with the correct filename; it's beea long time since I've used VBox additions. | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Demian: id contact the author, the email address is on that page. Is the extracted file from the archive not a scrip of some kind? | 14:37 |
| demian | Yes, run.sh is a script I believe. The adb file is in that archive too | 14:37 |
| demian | The script is 8 lines long | 14:38 |

| kry | Header files are missing, but it's doing something | 14:47 |
| visualrealityink | ccfhowlett I just assumed that it was a ubuntu permission issue and not a GCC issue as I do not have the problem on Mac or Win although they are "child proofed" ;) | 14:47 |

| kry | What do you mean by not working fully? | 14:49 |
| kry | I can't put it for the correct resolution, mouse wheel does not work | 14:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Kry: ahh makes sense. The additions arent always needed, seems they are in your case. | 14:50 |
| kry | Like they did with Ubuntu | 14:50 |
| tolland_ | If I move my laptop from the docking station to the wall power, (so on battery for say 30 secs), the machine stays on fine. However when I maximise firefox and click on change tab. the whole machine freezes | 14:50 |
| tolland_ | I thinkk that changing the firefox tab is probably exercising some virtual memory feature that allows firefox to put the tabs to sleep for resources | 14:51 |
| tolland_ | it doesn't happen also in chrome. | 14:51 |
| tolland_ | however the machine is hung, so there is no option to check the dmesg or /var/log/syslog | 14:51 |
| TJ- | tolland_: does the docking station contain a separate GPU? | 14:52 |
| tolland_ | TJ-: yeah, it appears to have DVI output which is not on the laptop | 14:53 |
| kry | Now both work | 14:53 |
| TJ- | tolland_: I'd take a bet that the X server is freezing when the GPU is ripped out from underneath it | 14:54 |
| TJ- | tolland_: open a terminal whilst connected to the docking station, run "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" and then undock and do whatever you do... see what the kernel is saying/complaining about. If nothing there, do the same again but "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 14:54 |
| tolland_ | TJ-: ah. well it wasn't using the docking station Video out, just has it available | 14:54 |

| tunage | isn't your kernel header version supposed to match your kernel source version? http://sprunge.us/IieX | 14:58 |

| f4rm0r | I have it set to "every release" | 15:23 |
| f4rm0r | and I have tried on every server in mny | 15:23 |

| gnuts | hi guys | 15:26 |

| Traintop | Hi Folks; I have a question concerning ubuntu 12.04 and thinkpads; before I upgraded to 12.04 I used a script ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/6943706/ ) to rotate the screen according to the tablet-orientation, but in 12.04 it doesn't work anymore... -any suggestions or should I try a fresh install? | 15:29 |
| SuperEngineer | f4rm0r: I am now at a loss - it really should tell you/notify you - dunno if a restart would help to make the setting "stick" but otherwise I am at the end my knowlege on that one - maybe someone else could jummp in here to help? | 15:31 |

| visva_12 | Hi. I have changed my themes for icons with Faenza. But, the text highlight background under folder icon did not change, how do I please help me to change the color? | 15:33 |
| Guest88778 | I am trying to dual boot my ubuntu 13.10 with another distro. But all of them strike out at their respective grub installs (tried Mint, Elementary, Ubuntu Studio). Thoughts? | 15:34 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | hello, virt-manager browse local is greyed out so i can't select an iso to build a vm | 15:35 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: Are you configuring them to use a separate /boot/ partition/file-system, or does each contain /boot/ in its respective rootfs? | 15:35 |
| Seveas | AmbiguousOutlier: you probably need to install the relevant KVM tools locally. Or worse: you rcpu doesn't support kvm. | 15:36 |
| f4rm0r | superEngineer: could it be because I run xubuntu-dektop instead of ubuntu-desktop? | 15:36 |
| TJ- | AmbiguousOutlier: Have you selected the "ISO" radio-button above the Browse button? | 15:37 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, I was trying for all partitions to have their own, but I read somewhere that things have changed with UEFI, and there should be a dedicated /boot | 15:37 |
| visva_12 | How do I change the text highlight color of folder icons? Please help, | 15:38 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | Seveas: yes remote cpu supports VM it's a xeon | 15:38 |
| MonkeyDust | visva_12 it's a !themes issue, i guess | 15:38 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: If you're installing on a UEFI system, it will have a GPT partitioning scheme, with the EFI System Partition as the first partition of the boot drive, containing a vfat file-system. Within that, each boot-loader will install its own EFI loader under /EFI/<os-or-loader-name>/ | 15:39 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | TJ-: Yes, then when i select browse a pop up appears and the browse local button is greyed out | 15:39 |
| Titanium | is there any problems to expect if i do not configure a partition for swap? | 15:39 |
| SuperEngineer | f4rm0r: dunno off hand - hang on a mo, I have a 12.04 netbook using Xubuntu - I'll see what changing the setting does on that | 15:40 |
| TJ- | AmbiguousOutlier: is the user a member of libvirtd group ("getent group libvirtd") ? | 15:40 |
| SuperEngineer | f4rm0r: {p.s. why run the Xubuntu desktop? Why not just install Xubuntu? | 15:41 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, I do have that. /boot/efi is the first segment of the drive. But new installs failing at their bootloader installations. | 15:41 |

| visva_12 | MonkeyDust: Yes, I have successfuly installed faezna themes, but the text highlight color of folder names won't change, can yo please tell me how to? | 15:43 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, so how do I get them to start in EFI mode? | 15:43 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | TJ-: rhys@banana:~$ getent group libvirtd | 15:44 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | libvirtd:x:115:rhys | 15:44 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | rhys@banana:~$ sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd | 15:44 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | The user `rhys' is already a member of `libvirtd'. | 15:44 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: ensure the installers can boot in EFI mode (that their media has an EFI simple-boot layout) | 15:44 |
| TJ- | AmbiguousOutlier: OK, so not the obvious issue. I'm assuming you've completely logged-out and back in so that membership is in effect? | 15:45 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | TJ-: remote server has rebooted, yes | 15:46 |
| SuperEngineer | f4rm0r: lol - I changed update manager to "for any", restarted it & it told me 12.10 was available [+ option to upgrade] | 15:46 |
| f4rm0r | SuperEngineer: then I have to use my knowledge in google, and hope that changing desktop env will help | 15:47 |
| SuperEngineer | f4rm0r: good luck | 15:47 |
| TJ- | AmbiguousOutlier: Hang on... you're running virt-manager locally, managing a remote instance? In that case that is expectd behaviour, you can't mount a local resource that way, it has to come from a storage pool on the server itself | 15:47 |
| f4rm0r | SuperEngineer: Thank you :3 | 15:48 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, I checked, the installers can boot in EFI. What now? | 15:48 |

| TJ- | Guest88778: Not sure, my guess would be that the grub 0xEF02 boot-loader partition is being re-written by each distro's grub-install, which will only point to that distro's /boot/grub/ where the grub.cfg menu file is | 15:51 |
| badcom | lol | 15:51 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | TJ-: Unable to complete install: 'Invalid install location: Mounting location '/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso' failed' | 15:51 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, that's what I figured. So I am now trying to let the default settings have at it. I selected the 'install alongside' option, and nothing changes. | 15:52 |
| AmbiguousOutlier | TJ-: now worries, I've got to the next step, thanks for your help. | 15:52 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: My guess is you need to do a hybrid install. Single manual install of grub to a separate GPT linux partition, don't allow the installers of the distros to auto-install grub, and then run efibootmgr manually if needed to add grub to the EFI boot menu | 15:53 |
| Guest88778 | "Failed to install grub-efi to /target/", and then it crashes. Every time. | 15:53 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: Sounds about right, it's a complex scenario when you require grub to be shared amongst installations that all want to manage it | 15:53 |
| Guest19883 | ciao | 15:54 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, yeah. Would that mean having to reinstall my current ubuntu install? | 15:55 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: No; but it'd need some thinking about to design the implementation to avoid issues. You'd ideally want a single distro to manage grub, but be aware of the other installs so it can correctly rebuild the grub config when doing "grub-install" or "update-grub" | 15:56 |
| Guest88778 | TJ-, and how do I stop the other distros from trying to install grub on their own? | 15:57 |
| TJ- | Guest88778: most installers have an (advanced) option to choose whether to install a boot-loader. | 15:57 |
| Guest88778 | TJ- so elementary apparently lacks that ability to skip bootloader installation. | 16:02 |
| Guest88778 | I tried to have it install its own loader into its separate partition, but that won't fly either. | 16:02 |

| dre_ | i have this url that works in my browser but when i try to run it with wget it gives syntax error near unexpected token `(' | 16:19 |
| Seveas | TeraJL_: interesting question. You could run some heavy I/O in the background, but other than that, I think modifying the disk driver is the "easiest" option | 16:20 |
| Seveas | dre_: quote the url | 16:20 |
| Seveas | so, wget "http//the.url.here" | 16:20 |
| TeraJL_ | but it's an ssd.. running some heavy IO don't seem very god | 16:20 |
| odra | Like, if my volume is on 100% and I'm listening to something that's even a little loud, the speakers disappear from the sound settings and the audio skips | 16:20 |
| cormo | hi | 16:20 |
| odra | But if the volume is around 66% that doesn't happen | 16:20 |

| odra | I don't think it's a problem with the hardware because on my windows boot I can play audio louder than the 66% volume in ubuntu without any problems | 16:21 |

| Seveas | TeraJL_: haha, excellent purpose :) | 16:23 |
| odra | Seveas: Is dmesg some sort of system log? Are the last lines the newest? | 16:23 |
| crankharder | any ideas why ubuntu would hang on the GRUB screen? loads up, shows me what kernels i can select and is immediately unresponsive | 16:23 |
| f4rm0r | tunage oh, I can do that dist-upgrade with do-release-upgrade but thank you anyway, and now I know a way to upgrade with apt-get as well x') | 16:24 |
| TJ- | TeraJL_: Try the "ionice" command | 16:24 |

| Seveas | jasef: hah, that's going to suck, doing 5 dist-upgrades in a row. | 16:41 |
| kyle__ | Seveas: Ahh. I'm trying to figure out WTF it works, then dies. Even the shortcuts in the keyboard control panel are set to none when this happens. | 16:41 |
| jasef | Yeah well... recent versions break my wifi the second NetworkManager starts. | 16:42 |
| Seveas | jasef: maybe try just recompiling the 11.10 and newer NetworkManager packages on 11.04? Should be a lot quicker. | 16:42 |

| dpy | does anyone know if there is a pulseaudio package for ubuntu somewhere that has the equalizer-sink module? And why isn't this compiled be default? | 16:43 |
| mrguser | thx | 16:43 |
| kyle__ | Err. I don't think so. | 16:43 |
| Seveas | jasef: true, but I think you'll be alright there, what's the NetworkManager version in 11.04? | 16:43 |
| dpy | do I now really have to compile my own pulseaudio to get that module? | 16:43 |
| TJ- | kyle__: Have you tested whether the same thing occurs in a new user's clean profile? That'd help indicate if it is system-wide, or related to your user's configuration | 16:44 |
| jasef | Seveas: How do I find out again? | 16:44 |
| Seveas | dpy: the normal pulseaudio package has that, at least on 13.10 | 16:44 |
| Seveas | jasef: apt-cache policy network-manager | 16:44 |
| Seveas | dpy: dennis@spirit:~$ apt-file search equalizer-sink | 16:44 |
| Seveas | pulseaudio: /usr/lib/pulse-4.0/modules/module-equalizer-sink.so | 16:44 |
| TJ- | jasef: Did you capture kern.log and/or syslog when it failed? That can be very useful in determining what's broken | 16:45 |
| kyle__ | TJ-: THere's only one user, so I could add a new one..but if the behavior repeats, it may be a week or two on a new profile before it happens. | 16:45 |
| jasef | seveas: 0.8.4 | 16:45 |
| Seveas | oof... | 16:45 |
| jasef | TJ-, no, I didn't; it was ages ago and I needed my laptop up and running quickly. | 16:45 |
| bluebasher | why can't I play movies on my laptop? I upgraded to the latest distro... | 16:45 |
| tajamul | please please develop multiloader for ubuntu | 16:45 |
| TJ- | kyle__: If the settings are being removed, as the config utility seems to show, either the config is being corrupted or some background process is changing things | 16:45 |
| Seveas | jasef: that's going to give you problems, dist-upgrade until you hit an 0.9 version, after that the recompile trick should work | 16:46 |
| TJ- | jasef: shame. It might be worth striking out to test the 14.04 live daily ISO | 16:46 |

| dpy | yeah that sucks | 16:51 |
| TJ- | dpy: It wasn't added to the pulseaudio package until 13.04 | 16:51 |

What seems to be working is I expanded sda2 to include the unpartitioned space, moved sda5 to the end of sda2, and then shrunk sda2 back down. Now I have: sda1, unpartitioned spade, sda2 and am merging the unpartitioned space indto sda1 | 18:02 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: thanks, let's run: sudo apt-get install libgutenprint-dev libgimp2.0-dev libijs-dev libgs-dev foomatic-db-gutenprint | pastebinit .. to see were you stand and paste the link here please | 18:02 |
| HelloWorld321 | I haven't committed the changes yet. It gave me a warning about grub and moving boot partitions, when I moved the sda5 swap partition. I'm a little fuzzy about grub, though. I do this move, then I boot, then grubloader complains and then I tell it where I moved sda5? | 18:03 |
| aaronr_ | hmm, seems my question is wrong. the original package is in universe and it can see that | 18:04 |
| aaronr_ | but it can't see a -dev package it depends on | 18:04 |

| teward | aaronr_: I'm not sure whether or not this matters, but https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvbcsa/1.1.0-2 is relevant... | 18:07 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: that's to be expected if you did the step earlier, i'm rdownloading the gutenprint source from cvs to get on the same page .. give it a minute | 18:07 |
| skinkitten | glitsj16, yes sir, :) | 18:08 |
| teward | aaronr_: according to the Launchpad page for it, for Trusty, it only has arm64 and ppc64el builds | 18:08 |
| teward | aaronr_: if your package is building for some other architecture, it might run into this problem because the software doesn't have i386/amd64/etc. builds | 18:08 |
| aaronr_ | teward: Oh. Well that'd explain it for sure. | 18:08 |
| aaronr_ | looks like i should backport that from quantal then | 18:09 |
| teward | aaronr_: or rather, port it from Quantal to Trusty | 18:09 |
| teward | aaronr_: mind waiting a bit first? | 18:09 |

| Sot | [ user ] | 18:11 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: Yeah, you may have to reinstall grub afterwards. | 18:11 |
| HelloWorld321 | bekk: I'm not sure if /boot is in the sda1 or sda2 | 18:11 |
| Sot | Meta-1 | 18:11 |
| HelloWorld321 | and that's a pretty simple operation? | 18:11 |
| aaronr_ | teward: my target platform is (eventually) precise | 18:11 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: It cant be in sda2, since thats an extended partition. | 18:11 |
| bekks | !grub2 | HelloWorld321 | 18:11 |

| aaronr_ | or do i need it working on trusty to then backport it? | 18:11 |
| teward | aaronr_: for a PPA you shouldn't need it on Trusty, I thought you were doing the opposite | 18:11 |
| teward | aaronr_: it doesn't exist in Precise, that's the problem. | 18:12 |
| aaronr_ | backportpackage: Error: The package 'libdvbcsa-dev' does not exist in the Ubuntu primary archive in quantal, quantal-security, quantal-updates or quantal-proposed | 18:12 |
| aaronr_ | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvbcsa/1.1.0-2/+build/3451818 seems to disagree | 18:12 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: what exactly did you download from the gutenprint CVS? i used the bottom link 'download GNU tarball' from http://gimp-print.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gimp-print/print/ | 18:12 |
| teward | aaronr_: i think your backportpackage is broken | 18:12 |
| HelloWorld321 | okay. could it be in sda5? (to me, they're practically synonymous sda2 & sda5, since sda2 looks like some kind of wrapper for sda5) | 18:12 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: No. | 18:12 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: sda2 is a container, containing swap, e.g., and it might contain more partitions. | 18:13 |
| HelloWorld321 | Then I prolly won't even need to reinstall grub, since /boot isn't in sda2 or sda5, the partitions getting moved. | 18:13 |
| teward | aaronr_: oh, try just using `libdvbcsa` | 18:13 |
| ghs | CD stays in blank same after burning. How to fix it ? I tried with k3b and brasero. | 18:13 |
| teward | aaronr_: rather than the binary name | 18:13 |
| aaronr_ | oh, omit the -dev? | 18:13 |
| teward | aaronr_: the source package is called `libdvbcsa` | 18:13 |
| aaronr_ | ah, yes of course. | 18:14 |
| teward | aaronr_: if you look at the packages.u.c page (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libdevel/libdvbcsa-dev) you'll see it says "Source package libdvbcsa" | 18:14 |
| aaronr_ | thanks :) | 18:14 |
| HelloWorld321 | So I'ma commit. Do I reboot next? | 18:14 |
| teward | aaronr_: if that doesn't work, i can backport the package in a PPA and you can just copy it out to your PPAs or something. | 18:14 |
| HotSwap | Hey, does anyone know if i can install the modern and legacy nvidia drivers at the same time? I have an old geforce card i want to use as an extra monitor on a separate x screen | 18:14 |

| HotSwap | i figured that would be the case | 18:17 |
| skinkitten | glitsj16, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.10-pre1/ | 18:18 |
| HelloWorld321 | I've committed. I think my next step is reboot from sda1. If I have any trouble, then I'll get to the bash prompt and type "sudo grub-install /dev/sda5" | 18:18 |
| pfifo | HotSwap: use HW acceleration for the good one, and use standard vesa driver for the crap one | 18:18 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: No. | 18:18 |
| HotSwap | pfifo, yeah that just hit me after I responded to you. | 18:18 |
| HotSwap | that'll work great | 18:18 |
| HotSwap | thanks | 18:18 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: Installing grub ito swap makes perfectly no sense. | 18:18 |
| aaronr_ | strangely the trusty build of libdvbcsa compiled okay on launchpad. | 18:18 |
| aaronr_ | not sure how i made that happen | 18:19 |
| teward | aaronr_: i made a fib btw... | 18:19 |
| teward | aaronr_: i misread the builds page, since that package hasn't been updated in version number since, like, Quantal, the packagesa re just copied and not rebuilt | 18:19 |
| HelloWorld321 | So I'm likely to have no trouble, since grub is certainly pointing to sda1. But if I do have trouble, then I'll type "sudo grub-install /dev/sda1" | 18:19 |
| teward | aaronr_: so it has i386, amd64, etc. | 18:19 |
| teward | but the "builds" list doesn't state them because it's just copied | 18:19 |
| SupaYoshi | Anyone knows, I want to serve a different website for when people come to my domain and when you go to the local hostname? | 18:19 |
| SupaYoshi | I tried doing Virtuelhost: hostname:80 | 18:20 |
| aaronr_ | ahh okay | 18:20 |
| SupaYoshi | but that didnt work well | 18:20 |
| bekks | HelloWorld321: /boot is on sda1 and grub points to sda. | 18:20 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: thanks, let me download that and see if i can get it to build here without errors, i'll keep u posted | 18:20 |
| aaronr_ | yeah i'm probably making this more difficult than it needs to be by trying to backport a package from an unreleased version of ubuntu :) | 18:20 |
| aaronr_ | unfortunately opencaster doesn't exist before trusty it seems | 18:20 |

| teward | aaronr_: you're welcome. note you'll have to backport the dependency in your PPA first, and upload it there before it builds. | 18:23 |
| aaronr_ | yeah i think i've done that | 18:23 |
| teward | aaronr_: then the newly uploaded dep has to build first, before it can be used by your other depwait-ed package | 18:24 |

| teward | aaronr_: you should rerun the build or reupload the software (with a slightly higher version number) | 18:28 |
| aaronr_ | teward: what i did wrong was not deleting it and resubmitting the version from quantal (which is high enough to satisfy the build dep) | 18:28 |
| HelloWorld321 | Yup, yup. That warning scared the spit out of me, but it rebooted just fine with nothing to do about the grub loader. Tx: bekks, Tj-, Xuisce, jasef, jhutchins, and even ubottu, but especially bekks. Thanks guys. Scarey warning, simple operation. | 18:28 |
| teward | aaronr_: aaah, okay, but you'll have a new issue there, you'll need to up the version number on your upload to the PPA. | 18:28 |

| aaronr_ | seems sensible | 18:28 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: make went cleanly :) .. suggestion: start afresh by removing the extracted source tree and extract the gutenprint-5.2.10-pre1.tar.bz2 again, cd into it and run: ./configure --disable-test --enable-maintainer-mode --without-doc | pastebinit if you would and show the link | 18:28 |

| glitsj16 | lickalott: ow ok, is the wineprefix and the path to virtualdub.exe correct? | 18:59 |
| SupaYoshi | but still it gets served the same website as interal. | 18:59 |
| lickalott | true glitsj16 | 18:59 |
| SupaYoshi | i have VirtualHost 77.165.xxx.xx:80 for external. | 19:00 |
| lickalott | SupaYoshi, same folder just accessed differently or do you have to folder with the same sites (i.e. two different paths) | 19:00 |
| SupaYoshi | And VirtualHost 10.15.1.100:80 for external;. | 19:00 |
| lickalott | sorry, that was a question | 19:00 |
| SupaYoshi | Lickallot | 19:00 |
| lickalott | sir | 19:00 |
| SupaYoshi | Another folder, and another path :) | 19:00 |
| SupaYoshi | first site, /var/www/homesrv second (external /var/www/public | 19:01 |
| SupaYoshi | Now however, when you go to the public site you get /var/www/homesrv | 19:01 |
| lickalott | and that's all pointed to correctly in the .conf? | 19:01 |
| SupaYoshi | Which conf? :P | 19:01 |
| lickalott | apache (i forget which one specifically) | 19:01 |
| SupaYoshi | ports.conf? | 19:01 |
| lickalott | brb | 19:01 |
| SupaYoshi | I tried this but it didnt work | 19:02 |
| SupaYoshi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6944893/ | 19:02 |
| SupaYoshi | that gives an error, that it cant bind because the port is in use already :3 | 19:03 |
| glitsj16 | lickalott: only other thing i see is that you used .. StartupWMClass=VirutalDub.exe .. mind the spelling of VirutalDub.exe, also you don't need the .exe part in that StartupWMClass | 19:03 |

| wernerHerzog | hi guys, a friend of mine wants to replace windwos xp with linux; he wants to use wubi; what is new with wubi, is it even on the ubuntu iso anymore? | 19:12 |
| Daekdroom | wernerHerzog, If he wants to replace XP (i.e. erase it), he definitely shouldn`t use Wubi | 19:13 |

| yidaki | how do i uninstall programs i dont want? | 19:14 |
| wernerHerzog | oh shit | 19:14 |
| bekks | wernerHerzog: If you want to make it easy, install him a virtual machine. | 19:14 |
| Medo | OerHeks: ??? | 19:15 |
| MonkeyDust | yidaki sudo apt-get purge [package], or use the software center, or synaptic | 19:15 |
| wernerHerzog | he wants to dual boot xp and ubuntu for the two month xp is supported | 19:15 |
| bekks | wernerHerzog: Then set it up as he wants it. | 19:15 |
| yidaki | where do i find synaptic? | 19:15 |
| bekks | yidaki: You have to install it. | 19:15 |
| MonkeyDust | yidaki in the software center | 19:15 |

| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: gutenprint 5.2.10 has introduced a new common backend code which requires libusb and some 'interesting' integration with cups. All existing Ubuntu Ubuntu printer-driver-gutenprint packages do not contain libusb support. The build error is because the headers from "libusb-1.0-0-dev" package aren't installed. I'm not sure if installing that will be enough, but give it a try. I'm investigating what is needed to package 5.2.10 to include libusb, | 20:23 |
| TJ- | based on the 14.04 packaging, and then backported to 12.04! | 20:23 |
| streulma | Ben64: ok, if I need one, I can make this with /dev/zero and /swapfile | 20:23 |

| Samopotamus | streulma, it looks like you have given me in thirty seconds what DAYS of Googling have not | 20:23 |
| Ben64 | streulma: yep | 20:23 |
| DavyH | (line from my fstab) | 20:23 |
| Samopotamus | I'm going to dissect your line of code and figure out the difference between what several messageboard posts and wikis have told me and yours. | 20:24 |
| Samopotamus | Davy, I'll try that in my fstab | 20:24 |
| Samopotamus | DavyH, I've also been running into an issue where the VPN is possibly not up yet so fstab doesn't mount it until I run mount -a | 20:24 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: wonderfull! odd that it didn't complain here about it.. i don't even have libusb-1.0-0-dev installed | 20:25 |
| Samopotamus | I don't understand why so many guides from stackexchange and ubuntu forums are so error-ridden | 20:25 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: Then you caant automatically mount, but you have to ensure the vpn is up. | 20:25 |
| skinkitten | TJ-, :( libusb-1.0-0-dev is already the newest version. | 20:25 |
| skinkitten | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 20:25 |
| Samopotamus | Isn't there an option for fstab to wait until the network is up? | 20:26 |
| MrZone | Hello | 20:26 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: The network is not enough. The VPN will start after the network is up, and you have to wait until the VPN is up. | 20:26 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: That tells us that "./configure" didn't locate those headers and therefore didn't add the correct "-I..." include path | 20:27 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: I'm almost ready to do a test-build here | 20:27 |
| Samopotamus | So basically it has to be done through cronjobs or some other method than fstab, right bekks? | 20:27 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: Cronjobs wont help you at all at that point. | 20:27 |
| Samopotamus | What do you recommend bekks ? | 20:27 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: The most convinient method is to run "mount -a" manually. | 20:27 |
| MrZone | Annyone know if there is a Ubuntu Touch for Xperia Z1? | 20:28 |
| Samopotamus | :\ | 20:28 |
| DavyH | Samopotamus: non-authoritative answer: Init scripts typically mount local filesystem types (ext4, btrfs, ...) early in the boot, and network filesystems (cifs, nfs, ...) later. There's a sigil you can use for network-dependent filesystems (e.g. ext4 on iSCSI). But that won't help you here. | 20:28 |
| Samopotamus | I don't believe in doing things manually. There has to be a way | 20:28 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: Then good luck in finding it. | 20:28 |
| Samopotamus | There's got to be a way to tell crontab to run this command like ten minutes after startup or something. It's a 99% solution | 20:28 |
| ViaJulia30VERS | alguien habla español? | 20:29 |
| ioanbuby | hi,i have written a python script and i want to give this script to my friends but they are using windows | 20:29 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: Crontab is a 1% solution. Crontab does not check wether the network is up, it osnt even interested wether the VPN is actually running, etc. | 20:29 |
| skinkitten | TJ-, hm how do I tell ./configure to include it? | 20:29 |
| ioanbuby | how can i make a executable from this script? | 20:29 |
| Samopotamus | Yeah, bekks , but it would just give time and assume that the VPN is up. | 20:29 |
| bekks | ioanbuby: You cant, basically. | 20:29 |
| skinkitten | glitsj16, abs-guide? where can I get that? | 20:29 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: Which is the most unreliable approach possible. | 20:30 |
| Samopotamus | Better than the "no approach" approach | 20:30 |
| ioanbuby | why not? | 20:30 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: You have been given a 100% approach. | 20:30 |
| Seveas | ioanbuby: google for pyfreeze or cx-freeze | 20:30 |
| Samopotamus | lol, manually? I can run that anyway if it fails | 20:30 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: it's a package that is in the regumar ubuntu repos, sudo apt-get install abs-guide | 20:30 |
| ioanbuby | ok | 20:30 |
| glitsj16 | *regular | 20:30 |
| Seveas | ioanbuby: but that's so far off-topic in here, it's not even funny :) | 20:31 |
| bekks | ioanbuby: Because you cannot make a crossplatform python binary out of some code you have. | 20:31 |
| bekks | Samopotamus: You will have to run it manually, cause your approach will fail. Anyways, good luck. | 20:31 |
| ioanbuby | ok i understand | 20:31 |
| Samopotamus | Thanks bekks | 20:32 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: if you have it installed, point your browser at file:///usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.html and you're good to dive in | 20:32 |
| skinkitten | E: Unable to locate package abs-guide | 20:32 |
| ioanbuby | my friends must have python installed and run this script from command line | 20:32 |
| ioanbuby | in windows | 20:32 |
| bekks | ioanbuby: Yes. | 20:32 |
| ioanbuby | i don't use windows anymore | 20:32 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: if you want to run things after the network is up, add scripts to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d | 20:33 |
| ioanbuby | ;) | 20:33 |
| DavyH | Samopotamus: there HAS to be a hook that allows you to run arbitrary commands dependent on your VPN. Like the 'post-up' directive in /etc/network/interfaces. | 20:33 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: this is woefully underdocumented though :) | 20:33 |
| DavyH | Seveas++ | 20:33 |
| Samopotamus | Thanks Seveas and DavyH | 20:33 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: are you using amd64 or i686/i386? | 20:33 |
| bekks | DavyH: No there is no requirement to implement such a hook. It strongly depends on the VPN. | 20:33 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: of course that assumes you run the vpn via networkmanager. | 20:34 |
| Ampelbein | skinkitten: You have to have the "multiverse" repository enabled. | 20:34 |
| DavyH | bekks: agreed, there's no standard, but I'd expect it of any reasonable implementation. | 20:34 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/abs-guide .. so it should be installable in 12.04 .. what does apt-cache policy abs-guide do? | 20:34 |
| Samopotamus | Seveas, I am embarassingly new to VPNs. I just followed the guide for installing OpenVPN. | 20:34 |
| bekks | DavyH: Even if it exists, the vpn administrator most likely disabled hooks for clients for safety reasons. | 20:34 |
| Samopotamus | The server is mounting a drive from a client | 20:34 |
| * Samopotamus is the VPN administrator | 20:35 | |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: ah, ok, that's slightly different | 20:35 |
| Seveas | you want the server to mount an nfs share from the client after it connected? | 20:35 |
| DavyH | Anyway. Last appeal for help with my problem? -- Ctrl-Q not being passed to my X clients under Unity/Compiz? | 20:35 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest64530 | ||
| skinkitten | TJ-, x86_64 | 20:36 |
| Samopotamus | It's SMB/CIFS not NFS because the drive is physically mounted to a DD-WRT device. | 20:36 |
| Seveas | DavyH: search for that keycombo with ccsm to see if it's assigned to something? | 20:36 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: thanks, I'll build that | 20:36 |
| Samopotamus | DD-WRT doesn't have out-of-the-box NFS | 20:36 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: but the server is mounting from the client after the client connects, right? | 20:36 |
| Samopotamus | Yes | 20:36 |
| DavyH | Seveas: I thought ccsm was deprecated? But I have no better ideas. Trying now... | 20:36 |
| Rarrikins | Does anyone know how to add tracks to a playlist in Rhythmbox? | 20:37 |
| Ampelbein | skinkitten: Follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/89096/how-do-i-enable-the-multiverse-repository and you will most likely be able to install abs-guide. Multiverse isn't enabled by default. | 20:39 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: hmm, you can do something with openvpn's --up, but I'd probably abuse fail2ban for this | 20:39 |
| skinkitten | thanks Ampelbein | 20:39 |
| impossible | i am on ubuntu 12.04.4 but my mouse only moves up and down, it works fine in 13.10 and 14.04 | 20:39 |
| Seveas | fail2ban is in essence a "watch log and do things" daemon, I'd make it watch the openvpn log and mount things when the client connects | 20:39 |
| impossible | anything i should update? kernel or driver? | 20:39 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: scratch that | 20:40 |
| Samopotamus | hmm, I know only a little about fail2ban | 20:40 |
| Samopotamus | k | 20:40 |
| Seveas | Samopotamus: openvpn's server mode has a --client-connect option, which you can use | 20:41 |
| DavyH | Seveas: no luck so far with ccsm. But when I try to bind arbitrary keys (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-f), ccsm shows the key as <Primary>, e.g. <Primary><Alt>f. NO idea what that means. Researching, but suggestions welcome! | 20:41 |
| Samopotamus | Ok, I'll check it out. | 20:41 |
| Seveas | DavyH: ah! your ctrl key got remapped | 20:41 |
| Seveas | DavyH: check the keyboard settings, it can be done there | 20:41 |
| Seveas | DavyH: or else gnome-tweak-tool | 20:41 |

| kristenbb | My ubuntu computer doesn't start anymore, the screen remains purple, I don't know what's wrong. Can someone please help ? | 20:42 |
| streulma | kristenbb: that seems like a graphical problem | 20:43 |
| DavyH | Seveas: I'm uncertain. `xev` shows the key returning the keysym Control_L, and `xmodmap` shows Control_L as the Control modifier. But I'm checking as you say. (And VERY grateful!) | 20:43 |
| Beldar | So I installed grml-rescueboot this is iso booting with grub 2 yourun this command to load a grml folder in boot, sudo mv ~/ISO/some release.iso /boot/grml/ MY question how do I clean that grml folder in boot with the cli | 20:43 |
| kristenbb | streulma: what can I do to solve it? | 20:44 |
| Seveas | kristenbb: kristenbb do you see the ubuntu logo at all during boot, or is the screen just purple? What happens if you hit <alt><f1>? | 20:45 |
| DavyH | Seveas: also all other Control-[x] keys work normally, and 'q' does too. | 20:45 |
| skinux | What command will tell used/free RAM (Physical)? | 20:45 |
| TJ- | Samopotamus: I'd add the script "/etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn-localmounts" (which should be called by runparts after "/etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn", and in your script simply do "[ -n "$IF_OPENVPN" ] && sleep 10 && mount -a" | 20:46 |
| streulma | skinux: free -m | 20:46 |
| kristenbb | Seveas: It happened multiple times, and it was hanging, so I tried pressing reset a couple times. Now it doesn't show the logo anymore. Nothing happens with alt f1 | 20:46 |
| streulma | kristenbb: ctrl + alt + f1 | 20:46 |
| kristenbb | streulma: nothing either | 20:46 |
| streulma | kristenbb: do you have installed now a new video driver like nvidia ? | 20:47 |
| kristenbb | streulma: no I have not, but it could have been updated, I don't know | 20:47 |
| Paddy_NI | Does anyone know the name of the tool (I think it's CLI only) that was developed specifically for keeping daily ISOs for *buntu up-to-date ? | 20:47 |
| skinux | Cached doesn't necessarily mean used, right? | 20:47 |
| Paddy_NI | I'm fairly certain that it is not zsync | 20:48 |
| manornk | How can i start song from another computer on my computer via ssh | 20:48 |
| bekks | skinux: ram used for cached is considered to be usable by an application when the application needs it. | 20:48 |
| Seveas | kristenbb: and <alt><f7> (try <f1> through <f8>, one of them should show some text) | 20:48 |
| skinux | I see 117 free, 517 Cached, 14 Buffers | 20:48 |
| bekks | skinux: You see more when running "free -m". Pastebin it please. | 20:49 |

| Seveas | manornk: ssh other.computer.name mplayer /path/to/file | 20:49 |

| === Ozera_zz is now known as Ozera | ||
| bekks | skinux: So you have 650 free. | 20:50 |
| skinux | MB? | 20:50 |
| Seveas | kristenbb: unfortunately that leaves very few avenues for troubleshooting. Best suggestion I can give you is to boot from a live cd, backup your /home folder and reinstall. | 20:50 |
| bekks | skinux: Yes. | 20:50 |
| skinux | That's not much out of 2-3G | 20:50 |
| bekks | skinux: Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Be happy much of your RAM is used as cache. | 20:50 |
| kristenbb | Seveas: I can reset and start in recovery mode ? that's the only thing I can do, basically, but i don't know what to do with it | 20:51 |
| Aleksei__ | skinux: Are you sure that you are watching the -/+ buffers/cache line? | 20:51 |
| skinux | Yes, that was the last set of numbers I gave. | 20:51 |
| bekks | skinux: And can you please pastebin "free -m", still? | 20:51 |
| skinkitten | Ampelbein, sudo apt-get update says to run sudo apt-get update....http://paste.ubuntu.com/6945461/ | 20:51 |
| manornk | Seveas: no, no.. I want it to open on the computer that I am holding, to use data on computer via ssh | 20:51 |
| bekks | skinux: Please pastebin it, since free -m gives 11 numbers, not 5 as you pasted. | 20:51 |

| filosofixit | Seveas : will do... :) | 20:58 |

| glitsj16 | TJ-: was on the phone .. the support you provide is just amazing and generous :) | 21:01 |
| kristenbb | irssi-mike: i doubt this is a battery problem, the computer does start, it's just ubuntu that doesn't start. | 21:01 |

| irssi-mike | kristenbb: blah blah blackout quiet splash, i think he means to set it permanently but first you must get in | 21:08 |
| Aleksei__ | streulma: what you said is how to make it permanent (though there is a better way). It's a different story. | 21:08 |
| gastrula | ..it was somehow like audio-video download-convert combined. | 21:08 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: that paste suggests double entrees for http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/multiverse, you can use # in front of one to comment it out or simply remove one of them in your /etc/apt/sources.list .. after that you should be able to install abs-guide | 21:09 |

| kristenbb | irssi-mike: do you confirm I am supposed to add 'nouveau.modeset=0' between 'ro' and 'quiet splash' ? | 21:14 |
| irssi-mike | kristenbb: if you do then put nouveau.modeset=0 before the words quiet splash at grub after striking e | 21:14 |
| gastrula | glitsj16, it is really the handiest I had so far | 21:14 |
| irssi-mike | it's not a permanent thing, you wont make any mistake | 21:14 |

| irssi-mike | kristenbb: then don't hit enter, read the screen and determine what you need select to proceed | 21:15 |
| kristenbb | it says ctrl x or F10 to boot. But I don't know if 'booting' is what i need to do to proceed. Is it? | 21:16 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: there is a help text at the bottom of the screen. Press the key combo to boot, but delete the inserted line. | 21:16 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: yes, just boot. | 21:16 |
| kristenbb | ctrl x just adds a x, that's weird | 21:17 |
| kristenbb | i'm trying F10 | 21:17 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: virtualbox? | 21:17 |
| irssi-mike | kristenbb: yes you need to boot, your box isn't showing anything but a purple screen, usually this fixes a black screen | 21:17 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: no it's a real computer | 21:17 |
| kristenbb | irssi-mike: ok I hit F10, and this made me quit grub, but I'm back to the purple screen. | 21:17 |

| kristenbb | Aleksei__: ^ | 21:18 |
| kristenbb | am I supposed to hit reset and try something else now ? | 21:18 |
| irssi-mike | kristenbb: i don't know grub that intimately, maybe make your edits and then tab and select boot | 21:19 |

| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: there'll be sort of a menu there. At least if it does boot to it :). | 21:20 |
| DavyH | So it was something in my config. No idea what though. | 21:20 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: so in grub, I have 2 choices : 'ubuntu' or 'advanced options for ubuntu' (there's also 'e' to edit commands or 'c' for a command line). I'm choosing 'advanced'.

| kristenbb | Aleksei__: some white lines appeared on the screen. Now I have a menu that offers some choices (resume, clean, dpkg, failsafeX, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary) along with their description. Which one should I choose ? | 21:23 |
| OerHeks | changeguy, they are part of the meta package ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:23 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: failsafeX | 21:23 |
| irssi-mike | kristenbb: maybe nouveau.blacklist=1 is the tag you need to pass at boot | 21:23 |
| changeguy | OerHeks: will that fix some fonts showing up really bad looking | 21:23 |
| changeguy | OerHeks: its an internet math book that pops up, and the font is all messed up looking | 21:24 |
| OerHeks | changeguy, sure, it is the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package | 21:24 |

| kristenbb | Aleksei__: it now asks 'continuing will remount your / filesystem in read/write mode and mount any other fs defined in /etc/fstab. Do you wish to continue ?'. Should I say 'yes' ? | 21:24 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: OK, we have an explanation. The line that fails to compile calls the function "libusb_get_version()". That function wasn't added to libusb until 2012-04-19 ... way after precise features were frozen | 21:24 |
| irssi-mike | kristenbb: add it after "quiet splash" | 21:25 |

| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: yes, that's what is being done during normal startup. | 21:25 |
| ajoul | how to do that? | 21:25 |
| changeguy | OerHeks: anything pactuliar I need to do after installing that package? | 21:25 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: okay, now a few white lines appeared (not much), and it's hanging. The first ones mention fsck. | 21:26 |
| OerHeks | changeguy, nope, when you install restricted-extra's, an popup will apear to accept the UELA, thats all | 21:26 |

| ramsub07 | Hi guys ports 3000 and 3001 are open for me, which run ppp and nessus respectively. How do I stop it ? | 21:27 |

| michagogo|cloud | ajoul: You'll need ext4 drivers | 21:28 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: there are 7 lines, the first 3 mention fsck, the 4th mentions dosfsck, the 5th mentions /dev/sda2 clean, the 6th says '/dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced'. And then it's hanging at the next line (7th), which is '/dev/sda1: 3 files, 252/189768 clusters'. | 21:28 |

| ramsub07 | Hi guys ports 3000 and 3001 are open for me, which run ppp and nessus respectively. How do I stop it ? | 21:29 |
| ajoul | MonkeyDust how about you keep your opinion for your self? I am simply asking how to support Ubuntu with Windows which is under the topic | 21:29 |
| OerHeks | changeguy, ubuntu-restricted-extras, and ttf-mscorefonts-installer is part of that | 21:29 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: maybe it would be wise to let it think for a while, maybe it's trying to repair the filesystem? I think this operation can sometimes be quite long. But there is no output mentioning what's it's doing, it's just hanging | 21:30 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: It seems it was only being used to print a version report locally. I've simply #ifdef-ed it out... build continuing | 21:30 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: build complete... trying to make the debian binary package now | 21:30 |
| MonkeyDust | ajoul are you in windows now? | 21:30 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: Yes, wait for a few minutes. Do you have a LED indicator showing hard drive activity? | 21:30 |
| ajoul | MonkeyDust no | 21:30 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: no sorry I do not. | 21:31 |
| ccReynolds | I have a question about setting the desktop when starting over vnc. It is using unity, but I want to use gnome-fallback. Is this the correct spot for that? | 21:31 |
| ajoul | MonkeyDust I am in Mac Os, should I join MacOSx rather? | 21:31 |
| MonkeyDust | ajoul guess so, yes | 21:31 |
| compdoc | ccReynolds, which version of ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| skinkitten | TJ-, you're something! | 21:31 |
| ajoul | MonkeyDust are you in ubuntu now? | 21:31 |
| ccReynolds | 12.04 | 21:31 |
| k1l_ | ajoul: you need ext4 drivers. how to do that in windows ask in ##windows | 21:31 |
| compdoc | ccReynolds, shouldnt be a problem to install | 21:32 |
| irssi-mike | kristenbb: one thing is the splash screen in the boot parameter is that purple screen, remove it and you should see where a list of "going ons" which might yield more info on why it's not getting over the hump | 21:32 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: by the way this time ctrl alt F2 works (but shows a black screen). only F1 and F7 offer something else than a black screen. F1 is where I was, and F7 shows some white text, (around 15 lines), the last one being 'udev start/running' | 21:32 |
| skinkitten | glitsj16, looked through this example file:///usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/arrays.html#EX68 interesting, can you give me some motivation to run with on learning bash? What can I do with it? what do you do with it? | 21:32 |
| ajoul | MonkeyDust pick another fight than redirecting people through channels. It is not Samsung customer care, that is the positive of getting HUMAN help. If you know you answer if you don't you shut up | 21:32 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: looking good .. together with skinkitten we should be able to update the forum post later on | 21:32 |

| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: If this builds I'll push it to my PPA so it's widely available | 21:33 |
| compdoc | ccReynolds, mine just works. Have you tried selecting 2d when logging into the console? maybe that sets the default | 21:34 |
| aandre | Hello everyone! | 21:35 |
| compdoc | ccReynolds, you can set the 2d session in .vnc/xstart | 21:35 |
| OerHeks | changeguy, not sure if that is an option | 21:36 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: bash scripts are very powerfull tools, to give an example, i use a few to automate things like backups, cron jobs, setting a manual volume for certain mail/notification tools, etc .. and also a few to regularly build from git sources | 21:36 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: If the bootup doesn't continue even after a few minutes, then reboot the system by pressing Alt-SysRq-U, Alt-SysRq-B (better than reset), then press e in GRUB, then delete quiet and splash parameters and add nouveau.modeset=0, then press F10 to boot. It should give you a lot more verbose output, so we can determine what's wrong. | 21:37 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: what is sysrq? | 21:37 |
| aandre | Trying to install xubuntu 12.04.4 on a HP ProBook 4540s with Win7 pro already present, the Win partition is not displayed on the ubuntu partition manager. Would you know why? | 21:38 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: it's a key, same as Prt Scr. May require Fn on notebooks. | 21:38 |
| glitsj16 | skinkitten: whatever you feel could use some extra kick for making your ubuntu life more enjoyable i'd say, depends on what you do .. you can also understand the system scripts better if you know a bit of bash (logic) so basically it is something that is usefull throught all linux distros | 21:38 |

| kristenbb | Aleksei__: I did all that and pressed F10, I still have a purple screen. | 21:42 |
| MonkeyDust | !info xwinwrap | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Package xwinwrap does not exist in saucy | 21:42 |
| MonkeyDust | lolihunter__ what's xwinwrap? | 21:43 |
| lolihunter__ | xwinwrap is to set video loops as background | 21:43 |
| lolihunter__ | i have few nice ubuntu styled animated background loops that i want use | 21:44 |
| lolihunter__ | but when i start it, the video is gone after 0.1-0.2 seconds and the normal background is back | 21:45 |
| MonkeyDust | lolihunter__ maybe contact the guy who created it http://linux.softpedia.com/developer/Shantanu-Goel-26331.html | 21:45 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: I've modified the debianised source package, and it's currently build-testing in my buildd. I have to drive over to the uni now but should be back in an hour, if all has gone well, I'll push the source up to launchpad for a PPA build | 21:46 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: now that's strange. OK, let's try another thing. Do you know which partitions mount where? What is sda1, sda3? | 21:46 |
| lolihunter__ | i have think maybe any here knows a little about xwinwrap and maybe know a solution | 21:46 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: I'm not sure, sorry, this is not something I do very often. But if I am able to see what's inside, I could tell you which is which. | 21:46 |
| MonkeyDust | lolihunter__ and tip: don't just install anything you wfind on the net | 21:47 |
| MonkeyDust | find* | 21:47 |
| lolihunter__ | yes i know that butxwinwrap is the most used one for videos as background | 21:47 |

| lolihunter__ | its a little older but sstill work, i only dont know why it wont on my | 21:47 |

| JuJuBee | I have to reinstall grub2 after a windows install. If Linux is on sdb5, when I execute the grub-install command, shouldn't it be sda? | 21:53 |

| kristenbb | Aleksei__: ok, I just launched a live cd, what now? | 21:55 |
| lolihunter__ | yes | 21:55 |

| kristenbb | Aleksei__: what does run fsck on them mean? what command am I to use ? | 21:56 |
| k1l_ | ajoul: run a windows cd and install the windows bootloader. how to do that ask the windows guys in ##windows | 21:56 |
| aandre | usr13: i'll reboot and see, but i'm sure Win is still there | 21:56 |
| usr13 | ajoul: Oh, you removed Ubuntu... ok. | 21:56 |
| ajoul | k1l_ I tried but that didn't work is there another way to remove it? | 21:56 |
| usr13 | ajoul: Boot to the other OS and restore it's own boot loader. | 21:56 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: `sudo fsck device_path' | 21:57 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: as in sudo fsck /dev/sda1 ? | 21:57 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: yes. | 21:57 |
| k1l_ | ajoul: you will need a bootloader anyway to boot something. so either use grub or install the windows one. but again: ask the windows guys how the want their bootloader to be installed | 21:57 |
| CrazyZurfer | Hi guys... I've got a samsung laptop with JBL sound system and it has a subwoofer under the laptop, and for no reason it stops working after like 30 seconds of no use.. so I have to turn the audio off and on again to make it work.. and it's pretty anoying turning that off and on all the time.. any clue what could be wrong | 21:58 |
| CrazyZurfer | ? | 21:58 |
| aandre | usr13: Windows still boots | 21:58 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: But do it on unmounted partitions only. | 21:58 |
| usr13 | aandre: Try again. | 21:58 |
| kristenbb | usr13: what does that mean? | 21:58 |
| usr13 | aandre: (Pretty sure you'll find it next time. | 21:58 |
| kristenbb | usr13: all of them are unmounted, since i'm on a live cd, no ? | 21:58 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: Good | 21:59 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: Make sure they are not monted before doing filesystem check on them. | 21:59 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: Check and see. Use command mount | 22:00 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: (You could have all of them mounted for all we know.) | 22:00 |
| Aleksei__ | usr13: I don't know of any Live CD, which automatically mounts all partitions, but you are right to be careful. | 22:02 |
| hil | hi guys, a little help here. Using wifi and an ethernet cable i get speeds of 50kbps on a 2mb link. But when i tether from my phone i'm able to use all the bandwidth provided by the phone's connection.What's wrong? | 22:02 |
| usr13 | hil: How are you doing the speed test? | 22:03 |
| aandre | usr13: It'll be the thrird time. But let's see ;) | 22:03 |
| hil | <usr13> i use the resources option on the network monitor app | 22:04 |
| lolihunter__ | i testet it again and it only works withut the fillscreen mode | 22:04 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: so I have 3 partitions, sda1, sda2 and sda3. sda1 is very small and flagged as 'boot'. The output of fsck sda1 didn't seem worrysome. sda2 also checked clean. Now fsck sda3 is more problematic: '/dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced. pass1 : checking inodes, blocks, and sizes. pass 2: checking directory structure. Directory inode 7241755, block 0, offset 0, directory correcupted. salvage<y> ? What should I do ? | 22:04 |
| usr13 | aandre: I really do not have an explanation for not seeing partitions in the partition manager. Ive done a lot of installs, never had that happen before. | 22:04 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: say y. | 22:05 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: What type of filesystem is on sda3? | 22:05 |
| kristenbb | ext4 | 22:05 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: it now says 'missing . in directory inode 7241755, fix<y> ? Yes again? | 22:06 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: As Aleksei__ suggests, y (repair it) | 22:06 |
| Aleksei__ | confirm | 22:06 |
| hil | hi guys, a little help here. Using wifi and an ethernet cable i get speeds of 50kbps on a 2mb link. But when i tether from my phone i'm able to use all the bandwidth provided by the phone's connection.What's wrong? | 22:07 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: I usually run fsck with the -y option in the first place, (that way I don't have to do it again and again...) | 22:07 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: it now says 'setting filetype for entry '.' in ??? (7241755) to 2. Missing '..' in directory inode 7241755. Fix<y> ? | 22:07 |
| usr13 | hil: What part of the world do you live in? | 22:07 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: press y every time it asks to fix things. | 22:08 |
| usr13 | hil: I think you need to use some sort of online speed test. | 22:08 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: If there are too many and you are tired, relaunch with -y option, as usr13 suggested. | 22:08 |
| usr13 | hil: Like http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ | 22:08 |
| usr13 | kristenbb: just keep hitting y | 22:09 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: ok, it finished, if i rerun it, it now says clean. What now ? | 22:10 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: should I try to reboot without the live cd ? | 22:10 |
| aandre | usr13: Nothing changed... Uh, it might be an naive question, but, in a LiveCD session, would an apt-get upgrade change something? Before launching the installation wizzard again. | 22:10 |
| Bren | Hello can someone help me with a question I have about whether a driver exists or not for a wireless adapter I'm using? | 22:11 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: Now reboot. Add nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel cmdline. If it doesn't boot correctly, press Alt-SysRq-S, wait a bit, Alt-SysRq-U, wait a bit, Alt-SysRq-B, then boot into Live CD again. | 22:12 |
| skinkitten | glitsj16, is there a shorthand way of saying $. I'm seeing it a lot in bash scripts, and wondering if there's a single syllable word for it :) | 22:12 |
| Bren | Can someone tell me if my wireless adapter will work with ubuntu? | 22:13 |
| aandre | usr13: This problem might come from UEFI, it's the first time i use a computer featuring this technology. And i'm not at ease with it. Apparently this mode isn't set. The Windows install doesn't use it. But we never know... | 22:13 |
| usr13 | Bren: Probably will. | 22:13 |
| hil | thanks usr13. Speed is normal for downloads and stuff . the real problem is in updating .It's just so slow even after choosing the best server but is fast only when i'm tethering from my phone | 22:13 |

| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: Ah, that's great. If it is stable to boot fine, then your problem is fixed. | 22:16 |
| Kicksledkid | oh ok. | 22:16 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: or, as you said, hitting 'reset' multiple times is what caused the file system being corrupted, but the underlying problem as to why the computer didn't start in the first time still is there? | 22:16 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: Yes, but now at least you can check the logs next time. | 22:16 |
| Kicksledkid | Bren: is it a fairly standard adaptor? | 22:16 |
| kristenbb | Aleksei__: so as a general rule, it's better to hit the power button just once or the shortcuts you mentioned, rather than hitting reset ? | 22:17 |
| Bren | Kicksledkid: last time I installed ubuntu, it wasn't working properly.. I had to install something that would emulat windows drivers and when I did a system update for ubuntu it wiped it or something.. basically my wireless wasn't working after then. I'm trying to see if there's a native driver for it. | 22:18 |
| Beldar | Bren, when I google 'WNA3100 ubuntu' I see pages of info, I would look there, it may be some work is all. | 22:18 |
| Aleksei__ | kristenbb: The shortcuts I mentioned sync the remaining data, remount the filesystems read-only and only then reboot. It prevents filesystem corruption. | 22:18 |

| Bren | Beldar: there's no driver index I can search to see if the driver exists or not? I'm looking for something native :P | 22:19 |

| gh0st | i been on irc since like 2001 | 22:29 |
| centaury | are you a programmer? | 22:29 |
| gh0st | eehhh... more of a.. hacker | 22:30 |
| find-help | Bren: tried that doesnt work | 22:30 |
| gh0st | ish | 22:30 |
| gh0st | person | 22:30 |
| gh0st | but i can program | 22:30 |
| centaury | Nice! I want to learn. Do you use Metasploit? | 22:30 |
| Bren | find-help: your only option is to used regex to match the files you're looking for | 22:30 |
| gh0st | i mainly find exploits via google but unless u wanna pay for a license to metasploit, u should get kali linux | 22:30 |
| gh0st | also comes with most tools u would be using | 22:31 |
| gh0st | i think tho we should switch to a private channel b4 we piss of these people | 22:31 |
| centaury | and open source i presume? | 22:31 |
| centaury | okay are you on google talk? | 22:32 |
| gh0st | i don't know about that. i got a google acct | 22:32 |
| gh0st | anyway u should log out and log back in but in #gh0standcentuary | 22:33 |
| jrtappers | Kali is quite good from a live USB for playing with | 22:33 |

| epsilonorion | I am trying to run Ubuntu Server but have an issue. If I attempted to setup eth or wlan, but there is nothing for them to connect to, the OS hangs for anywhere from 30second to multiple minutes. If I disable all network connections, it boots immediately. I know that there is a standard timeout, but I feel this is too extreme. | 23:04 |
| epsilonorion | Is there a place to check timeouts or any other places to find what this problem may be? | 23:04 |
| aandre | On the live session desktop, i see 3 devices: "File system" (containing the virtual / ), "File system" (the whole hard drive, containing classical windows files: Program Files, Users, etc.) and "System reserved" (containing files i don't know, like BOOT/, BOOTSECT.BAK...). But GParted sees the main drive as empty. | 23:05 |
| FuuqUmiist | why do some apps on the ubuntu repos not work? | 23:05 |
| shahan | what's something really important to know for ubuntu/general linux use that most people don't know? | 23:05 |
| daftykins | epsilonorion: servers should have a static IP anyway. NEVER a wireless interface, too | 23:06 |
| aandre | I don't want to corrupt the Windows install... | 23:06 |
| irssi-mike | shahan: swappiness | 23:06 |
| daftykins | aandre: i don't see a question | 23:06 |
| aandre | hony: an example you can customize: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1594/convert-.flv-to-.3gp | 23:07 |

| aandre | daftykins: Why do GParted does see my HD as empty? How can i install Ubuntu being sure not to alter the Win install. | 23:08 |
| epsilonorion | daftykins: I would agree with you if I were using this for a server, however, I am using it for a robot system | 23:08 |
| irssi-mike | epsilonorion: how new is your hardware | 23:08 |
| epsilonorion | daftykins: but my assumption is setting up a network shouldn't matter | 23:08 |
| daftykins | aandre: maybe you selected the wrong disk | 23:09 |
| epsilonorion | irssi-mike: I am putting it on an Embedded Odroid U3 system that uses similar hardware to the previous model which is over a year old | 23:09 |
| daftykins | epsilonorion: so is the timeout DHCP or what? | 23:09 |
| epsilonorion | daftykins: I am not sure. One of my questions was to see how to find out if it was | 23:10 |
| aandre | irssi-mike: thank you, fdisk warns me about a GPT it doesn't manage | 23:10 |

| impossible | goes* | 23:11 |
| aandre | daftykins: There's only one. GParted sees it as free space, that's the problem... | 23:11 |
| aandre | daftykins: Only /dev/sda :/ | 23:12 |
| daftykins | aandre: so, sudo fdisk -l ? | 23:12 |
| OerHeks | aandre try gdisk for gtp | 23:13 |
| irssi-mike | impossible: sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse | 23:13 |
| irssi-mike | shot in dark | 23:14 |
| aandre | daftykins: fdisk (Complains about GPT first and then) sees /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 | 23:14 |
| epsilonorion | any ideas on the hanging problem for the network | 23:14 |
| irssi-mike | epsilonorion: when it boots can you ifconfig | 23:15 |
| epsilonorion | yes | 23:15 |
| irssi-mike | what about iwlist scanning | 23:15 |
| epsilonorion | however, I will admit there was an occasional point where it froze, but we will ignore that for a moment | 23:16 |
| daftykins | aandre: pastebin it please | 23:16 |
| epsilonorion | and yes, I can iwlist scan | 23:16 |
| cgj | Hi, I have a MacBookPro1,1 (from 2006 and is 32 bit) I've tried to make a booting usb installer with no success. Any hints? | 23:17 |

| aandre | daftykins: brb on the other computer | 23:18 |
| daftykins | ¬_¬ | 23:18 |
| epsilonorion | yes. And I do get a connection to the router that I am attempting occasionally. Basically, it hangs when I am having a hard time getting a connection to the router or if there is no router. | 23:18 |
| epsilonorion | Originally it seemed like a timeout on DHCP to me, however, when it started going on for over 30 seconds I started assuming a problem | 23:19 |
| irssi-mike | epsilonorion: something must be autoconfiged, maybe remove it.. /etc/NetworkManager/ connections rm them | 23:19 |
| epsilonorion | irssi-mike: no networkmanager. I am using server, so I am setting up my own wpa_supplicant | 23:20 |
| impossible | irssi-mike, restart after? | 23:20 |
| irssi-mike | epsilonorion: i notive static ip is pretty instant, maybe can set one | 23:20 |
| TJ- | skinkitten: glitsj16: back on the job. build failure - minor issue (installing usb blacklist file) but brain-twisting to figure out the correction to Makefile.am | 23:20 |
| epsilonorion | on my personal router I can, but not the business router (which is the main one I have a problem with) | 23:20 |
| irssi-mike | impossible: maybe just gdm | 23:21 |

| callipygous | ...I've tried changing the permission of /var/lock and also adding my user to group root, but no change | 23:27 |
| epsilonorion | irssi-mike: okay, simply changing the dhcp timeout seems to be it. So for some reason the default timeout is huge | 23:27 |

| k1l | callipygous: dont open several programs that work with the package system at the same time | 23:36 |
| irssi-mike | aandre: here's what you want to do, crank up windows and right click my computer, click manage, resize your NTFS to whatever you want to leave for linux then go back to gparted and slap ext4 on it or just use the install disk | 23:36 |
| epsilonorion | irssi-mike: problem is that now that I have the timeout lower, I never connect to the business router. I will have to look into my method of connection. I must be doing something wrong | 23:36 |

| irssi-mike | aandre: if you're okay with a somewhat gimped version of ubuntu, ubuntu offers wubi. it's neat but much less invasive and won't touch your partitions | 23:39 |
| rww | iirc Wubi isn't supported these days | 23:40 |
| irssi-mike | rww: good to know | 23:40 |
| rww | also, doesn't work with UEFI, which kind of puts a damper on things | 23:41 |
