| hitsujiTMO | AssociateX: you need to connect it via firewire/DV to get the video off AND you need to use editing software too. not sure what is available on linux for that | 00:05 |
| Bashing-om | quants: It is there, so we are good ! .. next is to edit the file. -> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list <- Arrown down to line 62 "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner"arrow over to the end of the line, and carefully backspace out that entire line and the line 61 preceeding it. save the file and exit back to terminal. pastebin when done so I can see. | 00:05 |
| AssociateX | hitsujiTMO, ok, I was using the usb port. I will look for a DV cord. | 00:07 |

| lebafar | How do I figure the ip of at an ubuntu server? | 00:34 |
| wafflejock | lebafar: where is the server? | 00:34 |
| lebafar | wafflejock, here. | 00:34 |
| Bashing-om | quants: Outstanding ! You do good work. Any questions as to what we did and why ? | 00:34 |
| wafflejock | if you're logged in locally you can use ifconfig | 00:34 |
| snadge | 12.04 lts doesnt fit on a cdrom does it? | 00:35 |
| wafflejock | if it has a DNS name you can use nslookup to find the IP | 00:35 |
| wafflejock | snadge: no | 00:35 |
| wafflejock | snadge: you need the minimal install CD I believe for any of the modern version or else a DVD or flash drive | 00:35 |
| lebafar | wafflejock, I need to figure a way to set ip, router, mas e dns new. | 00:35 |
| lebafar | mask* | 00:36 |
| snadge | wafflejock: i need a recovery environment that will boot off cdrom though | 00:36 |
| ruien | lebafar: depends what you're trying to do. If you're just trying to get your IP as the external world sees it, try "curl http://ifconfig.me/". If you're trying to set up static IPs and such, you do that in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:36 |
| snadge | basically need to dd the hard drive of an ancient obsolete system, to a network share | 00:36 |
| wafflejock | lebafar: can you do lsb_release -a in the terminal to get the exact version you're using, in general you should have a network applet in the panel you can use to edit the settings | 00:36 |
| quants | Bashing-om as I understand it we changed the file that the computer looks at when updating. ?? | 00:36 |
| lebafar | wafflejock, 13.10 | 00:37 |
| wafflejock | snadge: believe the LiveCD will work out | 00:37 |
| wafflejock | snadge: er rather minimal CD | 00:37 |
| Bashing-om | quants: Yep, somehow a duplication crept into the control file, and all we did was take the dupes out of it. | 00:37 |
| wafflejock | snadge: think it will give you a terminal where you can do what you need, alternatively Clonezilla works pretty well in my experience | 00:37 |
| wafflejock | it's a bootable CD with DD and some nice menus for handling setting up network interface and stuff before doing the dd | 00:38 |
| wafflejock | lebafar: normal Ubuntu with Unity? | 00:38 |
| lebafar | wafflejock, yes, server though. | 00:39 |
| quants | Bashing-om i can see all the logic behind oll this stuff but never know how to make the changes myself. | 00:39 |
| wafflejock | ah k | 00:39 |
| snadge | does clonezilla have gddrescue? | 00:39 |
| snadge | or does it just use a normal dd | 00:39 |
| wafflejock | snadge: I believe it's just regular dd not positive on that though | 00:39 |
| Bashing-om | quants: Hey, you have taken the 1st steps, one day you will be command line sumerai ! | 00:40 |
| wafflejock | lebafar: I've done it before using my NAS but don't know well enough to guide you | 00:40 |
| quants | Bashing-om maybe :) thanks for your help, its very kind of you | 00:40 |
| Bashing-om | quants: If you are interested read -> man ls , man cp <- and from there follow your curiosity. | 00:41 |

| quants | Bashing-om now one question, is it worth changing to a higher distribution of ubuntu? im running 12.04 LTS atm. ill take a look at the book. | 00:43 |
| lebafar | wafflejock, I put it on bridge mode. Now I think it shall show me a nice ip :P | 00:43 |

| wafflejock | you gotta go RMS (stallman) and not have credit cards or a smart phone and use cash for everything, use YaCy and pay for or setup your own e-mail, use SSL and SSH everywhere and even so I believe the NSA can peek | 01:34 |
| aphor | Dry_Lips: exit to a command prompt, kill your lightdm, and then 'ssh-agent startx' | 01:34 |
| Dry_Lips | aphor: ok, I'll give it a try | 01:35 |
| aphor | Dry_Lips: if that works, delete all your .gnome-session or whatever files that might be screwing up your lightdm invoked session. | 01:35 |
| aphor | Dry_Lips: when your ssh-agent can put its environment in the environment of all your X clients, they can do ssh-agent passwordless ssh if they do ssh. | 01:37 |

| timmytimo | in windows these speakers are plenty loud, in ubuntu I can barely hear. I went to sound settings and its up all the way as is on the speakers. They plug into headphone jack | 02:16 |
| tomreyn | timmytimo: often sound chips have an amplifier, that would be presented as either an option you can switch on and off, or as an additional drawbar | 02:17 |
| timmytimo | tomreyn: you mean within the normal sound settings or somewhere else. It just says analog sound, built-in audio | 02:19 |
| tomreyn | timmytimo: i think this would be on the normal sound settings somewhere. but then i can't spot it here, either. sorry to not be of much help. | 02:21 |

| === xubuntu is now known as Guest10282 | ||
| joshu__ | Never used chroot and would like to check my understanding of it. Does it have two purposes: 1) to create an isolated place to test or secure access 2) to change settings on files/ directories | 02:24 |
| timmytimo | lol no worries, I've been staring at it for a while now. just so weird that it would be 1/2 or 1/3 as loud as windows with same hardware setup | 02:24 |
| tomreyn | !sound | timmytimo Maybe this helps: | 02:24 |
| ubottu | timmytimo Maybe this helps:: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:24 |
| usr13 | joshu__: It's just so that you can boot into a system that you can't do in a normal way. | 02:25 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: gksu gedit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf | 02:25 |
| xangua | Then change the line highlighted to: | 02:25 |
| xangua | prepend domain-name-servers x.x.x.x, y.y.y.y; | 02:25 |
| funky | nr 1 | 02:25 |
| joshu__ | I'm currently stuck in a situation where I have a mount point which contains files. I need to change the group and set mode 0775 on a few of them BUT the group I need to set is not present on the computer. Is chroot the tool for this? | 02:26 |
| xangua | prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4; for example for google dns | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | joshu__: chroot does not provide proper isolation in terms of security. don't use it for this purpose, use virtualization or, once there is one which provides proper isolation on current kernel versions, a container solution. | 02:26 |
| drewery | if I decide to install ubuntu as server ...my options are 13.04 , 12.04, 12.10 and 10.04 ...is there any strong preference for which should be favored? I am new to this so this will be a little learning curve as far as ubuntu goes | 02:26 |
| usr13 | joshu__: It is to be able to work on a broken system, (one that you can no longer boot to). | 02:26 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, will any dns settings made on network manager app override those dns servers? | 02:26 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: no unless you edit the file again and delete it/change it/comment the line | 02:27 |
| tongcx_ | hi guys, if there are multiple memory eaters like JVM running, how does memory get allocated if they all just want to hold memory without actually using it? | 02:27 |
| usr13 | joshu__: To change the permissions on a mount point? As long as it is not the user's /home/, I'm not sure why you'd need to chroot from a boot disk for that... | 02:27 |
| aphor | tongcx_: the kernel will evict pages of idle RAM to swap in a process called "paging out" | 02:27 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, google dns is there (in resolv.conf); but i dont give that address in dhclient.conf; how else could it have arrived (trying to swtich to opendns) | 02:28 |
| === loucal_ is now known as loucal | ||
| usr13 | joshu__: How did it get changed in the first place? | 02:28 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: someone edited it¿ | 02:28 |
| tongcx_ | aphor: does those RAM eater try to coordinates with each other? | 02:28 |
| tongcx_ | aphor: it seems like a terrible result | 02:28 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, im the only user on this | 02:28 |
| joshu__ | usr13 it's not home. I'm working with mounts that point to a boot volume of another system. I don't have the group that I need to set on that disk, so I started googling and saw chroot and that's why I'm trying to understand if it's the tool to do this. | 02:28 |
| aphor | tongcx_: when the RAM eater wants to use that page of memory, it gets a page-fault and will freeze until the kernel can evict another page to make room for paging it back in. | 02:29 |
| tongcx_ | aphor: yea, but by not trying to eat all memory, those processes can do much better | 02:29 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: ooh resolv.conf you say¿ even if you modify it, it will not save changes I believe | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | drewery: how did you come up with these options? | 02:29 |
| aphor | tongcx_: http://www.amazon.com/Implementation-Operating-paperback-Addison-Wesley-Systems/dp/0132317923 | 02:30 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, do i have to restart to take effect? | 02:30 |
| usr13 | joshu__: No, it's not. | 02:30 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: just conect and reconect to your network | 02:30 |
| aphor | tongcx_: it's a probability function. | 02:30 |
| xangua | disconect and reconect* | 02:30 |
| drewery | tomreyn: I am testing a hosting... these are the options that I can start with besides centos and debian | 02:30 |
| usr13 | joshu__: Normally, what you want is 755 for directories and 644 for files | 02:31 |
| tomreyn | drewery: what are you planning to test then? | 02:31 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, for some reason open dns says im still not using it; even though its nameservers are the ony ones listed on the resolf.conf file | 02:31 |
| usr13 | joshu__: But it sounds like you are confusing two different things, ownership and permissions, (they *are* different). | 02:31 |
| genial | Hello! Can I tell rsync to not create the entire directory-tree before it starts to transfer files, and rather create directories along with the files? | 02:31 |
| joshu__ | usr13 ok I think I understand what you're saying. | 02:32 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, acutally somehow the google dns snuck up and reset itself | 02:32 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, i have no idea how its overwriting the resolv.conf file repeatedly | 02:32 |
| tomreyn | drewery: are you planning to keep this server running for longer, or is it really just a test installation you'll scrap in some weeks? | 02:32 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: dhclient.conf not resolv.conf | 02:32 |
| joshu__ | usr13 Is there a way to use chgrp to set the group on a directory/ files that doesn't exist on the current system? | 02:32 |
| === racer|stream is now known as racer0940 | ||
| drewery | tomreyn: I am planning to run it longer and get a new project established as a website on this while I am learning about ubuntu in the meanwhile | 02:33 |
| tomreyn | drewery: and how attractive sounds the need to do a system upgrade soon? | 02:33 |
| usr13 | joshu__: Can you rephrase that? | 02:33 |
| drewery | if it was a nightly thing I would just install it on my VM but this will be a administered public web server | 02:33 |
| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| usr13 | joshu__: Well, obviously, you can change the ownership of a directory, (both owner and group). | 02:34 |
| drewery | now I am more familiar with centos or freebsd | 02:34 |
| funky | tomreyn when I run echo xfce4-session>~/.xsession which password i use when I rdp? the root one? | 02:34 |
| funky | I decided to reinstall xrpd and xfce | 02:34 |
| drewery | so I am not sure about how things work with ubuntu, also trying to figure out if I get stuck are there people out there supportive besides the documentation or manual pages | 02:34 |
| joshu__ | usr13 I'm on ubuntu with 2 disks attached. My primary disk and a second disk that contains a boot volume and is mounted. The second disk I'm manipulating the files. I want to change the group of some of them BUT the group I want to set doesn't exist on my Ubuntu primary disk, so I get the error " chgrp failed: failed to look up group second_disk_group" | 02:35 |
| usr13 | joshu__: But the ownership of individual files will depend on *who* writes the files to a filesystem | 02:35 |
| tomreyn | drewery: so i'd say for a productive server you normally want somewhat recent software (since that will often give you new and better features), but you usually also don't want to have to upgrade to the next release every 6 months. so you'd go with the latest available long term support (LTS) release. | 02:36 |
| tomreyn | that'd be 12.04 | 02:36 |
| usr13 | joshu__: Yea, that group will have to exist before you can give any files or directories to it. | 02:36 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, network manager is rewreiting the resolv.conf file when i reconnecte | 02:36 |
| arooni-mobile | or something is | 02:36 |
| arooni-mobile | driving me crazy | 02:36 |
| joshu__ | usr13 ah I thought there was a workaround | 02:36 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: dhclient.conf not resolv.conf | 02:36 |
| usr13 | joshu__: Let me ask you this: What filesystem is on this disk? (Is it ext4 or ntfs or......???) | 02:36 |
| joshu__ | usr13 ext4 | 02:36 |
| usr13 | joshu__: Ok... good | 02:37 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: you have to edit dhclient.conf , do not edit resolv.conf | 02:37 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, i am making the changes as you mentioned to dhclient.conf it doesnt matter; the resolv.conf is getting overwritten somehow with google dns | 02:37 |
| joshu__ | usr13 that's what I thought chroot was for..."change root" | 02:37 |
| joshu__ | but I misunderstood | 02:37 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, im aware; there is no 8.8.8.8 in all of dhclient.conf | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | funky: i'm not into xrdp, sorry | 02:37 |
| usr13 | joshu__: but no, there is no workaround, you will have that group in the /etc/group file in order for the sytem to change any ownerships to it. | 02:37 |
| drewery | tomreyn: exactly, those were my concerns and that was straight to the point. Thanks friend. | 02:38 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, any ideas? | 02:38 |
| joshu__ | usr13 ok thanks for explaining! | 02:38 |
| tomreyn | drewery: there's also #ubuntu-server btw. | 02:38 |
| usr13 | joshu__: chroot will put you into the system as it is set up, according to the users and groups that are desingnated in the /etc/group file. | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | drewery: fewer people, but sometimes better luck with server specific questions | 02:39 |
| usr13 | joshu__: chroot is usually only used on a system that will no longer boot, (I know of no other reason to use it). | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | usr13: compiling software is a common use | 02:41 |
| pvp101sing | tomreyn: you got that right what are you compiling | 02:41 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: did you check network mannager icon settins¿ | 02:41 |
| xangua | setings | 02:41 |
| arooni-mobile | xangua, for the particular network im connected to? | 02:42 |
| xangua | arooni-mobile: yes | 02:42 |
| usr13 | tomreyn: Yea, ok. Thanks... You are correct. | 02:42 |
| funky | http://www.techzim.co.zw/2013/12/solving-ubuntu-13-10s-remote-desktop-windows-bug/ I done it | 02:42 |
| tomreyn | joshu__: you can actually change the group ID (a number) of file system objects (files, directories etc) to matcch that of what you have on your other file system | 02:42 |
| funky | yet to connect :D | 02:42 |

| pvp101sing | Does anyone play xbox around here | 02:42 |

| funky | I guess I have to add some lines to .xsession to tell it which desktop to load, etc? | 02:47 |
| tomreyn | joshu__: and do you have some files which have the 'proper' group ownership there already? | 02:47 |

| funky | seems GLX extention is cause of all issues | 02:54 |
| joshu__ | tomreyn I solved it. chroot did work | 02:55 |
| funky | what its for anyway? | 02:55 |
| tomreyn | joshu__: but really, on the file system, all files and directories have numeric IDs only, and /etc/groups is used to translate them to those group names | 02:55 |
| tomreyn | joshu__: i guess i can save my explanations then. ;) | 02:55 |

| rodayo | I'm doing some basic module development, I get the following error in my include tree: fatal error: asm/types.h: No such file or directory. I have the header file in my system under "/usr/include/asm-generic/" anyone know what to do? | 02:58 |
| funky | I run lspci | 02:58 |
| funky | nothing for video | 02:58 |
| usr13 | joshu__: tomreyn It would only work if the group exists on the other system. Right? | 02:59 |
| usr13 | joshu__: tomreyn .... otherwise, you'd have to create a new group. Right? | 02:59 |
| joshu__ | usr13 but it does exist on the other system (second disk). | 03:00 |
| tomreyn | usr13: what is "it"? | 03:00 |
| usr13 | joshu__: Ok. You're good to go then. | 03:00 |
| usr13 | tomreyn: it=chgrp (only to group that exists on the system) | 03:01 |
| usr13 | (on the "second_disk" | 03:02 |

| jamesd | win 1 | 03:03 |
| tomreyn | usr13: what you're doing there is to create a file owned by root:root (user ID 0, group ID 0), then you change the group ID to 1, then you delete it. | 03:04 |
| usr13 | -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 0 Feb 20 21:04 /tmp/test | 03:05 |
| usr13 | tomreyn: Ok, I get it... (obviously root exists on both filesystems so... that should do fine...) | 03:06 |
| tomreyn | usr13: if you had a group whose group id is 1 (as usually defined in /etc/group - the "phonenook" in my earlier reverse lookup story) , then "ls -l test" whould have shown the name of the group instead of "root" after you changed the group id (and before deleting it with 'rm') | 03:06 |
| Gooba | hi | 03:07 |

| tomreyn | usr13: yes. just one is numeric and the other is not | 03:12 |
| usr13 | tomreyn: (root is also a group) ( root is a user but root is also a group) | 03:12 |
| tomreyn | usr13: but that's just because user / group id 0 is always assigned to root, well not always, but it's a convention. | 03:12 |
| funky | tomreyn ix startx gets stuck it likely wants video driver? | 03:12 |
| tomreyn | usr13: right, just like your system user also exists as a group, normally | 03:13 |
| funky | I cat error log yet to see | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | funky: right, it's hard to tell without any output | 03:13 |

| === seranofree is now known as Serano | ||
| usr13 | tomreyn: There is a difference here. On my Ubuntu system, yes, I have group of same name as user, (but the system I'm on now is not Ubuntu, so it *is* different). ... Interesing... | 03:18 |
| jamesd | usr13: filesystems and groups use numeric values not the text. | 03:19 |
| usr13 | tomreyn: This is something I've not really noticed before. | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | usr13: yes there are other systems which do not create (and assign your user to) a primary user group of the same name as your user. | 03:20 |
| funky | tomreyn after i checked errors log it seems kinda fine hmm | 03:21 |
| funky | but GLX is stuck loading and loading | 03:21 |
| usr13 | tomreyn: Yea, I'm seeing that now... 1000 1000 vs 1000 100 = (joe:joe vs joe:users) | 03:24 |
| usr13 | jamesd: tomreyn Thanks guys.... I learned something new :) | 03:25 |

| tomreyn | pass it on to someone else the other day | 03:26 |
| usr13 | I will, (I have a better handle on groups and users now) | 03:27 |
| tomreyn | funky: what are you trying to accomplish there anyways? your server may not even support video acceleration | 03:27 |
| funky | tomreyn simply enable rdp access to desktop | 03:28 |

| === AEM` is now known as aem` | ||
| funky | tomreyn what do u mean byt not supporting video acceleration | 03:31 |
| tomreyn | funky: my understanding is / was that you are running the X server on a remote server which is not equipped with standard desktop computer hardware. | 03:32 |
| funky | have anyone here used rpd and x server? | 03:32 |
| tomreyn | maybe i mixed you up with someone else. | 03:32 |
| funky | tomreyn its dell server | 03:32 |
| tomreyn | funky: why do you want to use RDP rather than VNC anyways? | 03:32 |
| funky | it got video card so what else it needs | 03:32 |
| funky | RPD is handier | 03:32 |
| funky | VNC I heard its not secure | 03:33 |
| funky | etc | 03:33 |
| funky | but ok I can try VNC too | 03:33 |
| tomreyn | that's why VNC is typically wrapped in an ssh connection | 03:33 |
| tomreyn | you also save one open port that way | 03:33 |
| funky | well it VNC or RDP | 03:34 |

| === [O]UltimateNate is now known as UltimateNate | ||

| thechris | ChogyDan: was WQHD support only recently added? | 03:39 |
| funky | Chody have u used xorg? | 03:39 |
| ChogyDan | thechris: dunno, but I was just guessing you had a more modern gpu | 03:39 |
| thechris | ChogyDan: the GPU should be ok. It was the "GTX560Ti Christmas edition", which used the GTX570's chip, but with fewer cores. | 03:40 |
| thechris | nvidia has it listed for 2560x1600 max. | 03:41 |
| ChogyDan | thechris: the point is that sometimes things are fixed in updates, but if you haven't even installed regular updates... | 03:42 |

| chair | rsync it is. | 04:27 |
| picksit | join #ubuntustudio | 04:27 |

| adam007 | last time i try i get error message refused connection 127.0.0.1 | 04:29 |
| ruien | adam007: what's your actual mail sending software? sendmail sort of "hands off" mail, it's not a full mail server by itself. | 04:31 |
| adam007 | i use sendmail | 04:31 |
| kimprince | tried everything to get my graphics working, now really stuck, http://askubuntu.com/questions/423889/ | 04:32 |
| ruien | adam007: for example, where I work we use msmtp (http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/) which is a sendmail-compatible interface to a real SMTP server | 04:33 |
| adam007 | but i cant use graphic because im on ssh | 04:33 |
| Serano | adam007 sendmail will give over the email that needs to be sent to the local mail daemon who will send it accordingly. | 04:34 |
| Serano | Therefore you need to install mailsoftware, SMTP proto, so the mailhandler can connect on 127.0.0.1:25 | 04:35 |
| Serano | and send the mail | 04:35 |
| tapout | what email program supports qmail style email files? | 04:35 |
| adam007 | Serano why when i use hosting it works but not in ubuntu server ? | 04:36 |
| === SonikkuAmerica is now known as S-USA_The_Paople | ||
| Serano | because hosting providers have their mailservers installed or configured on the webserving software. | 04:37 |
| Serano | there is a link from the webserver to the mailserver. | 04:37 |
| Serano | php tells the webserver that it is a php script, the function mail tells the computersystem to use the mailserver to send the mail | 04:37 |
| Serano | so it is not the webserver or php that sends the mail | 04:38 |
| Serano | it sends it to a mailserver | 04:38 |
| Serano | If you read up I gave you a link an hour ago, how to setup a full mailsystem | 04:38 |
| adam007 | so it mean, when i want send email through ubuntu server, i must prepare smtp mail software ? | 04:38 |
| ruien | kimprince: I read your question -- did you mention anywhere which nvidia divers you're using? | 04:39 |
| adam007 | i cant see it can you give it again ? | 04:39 |
| * jcabb murmurs RTFM... | 04:39 | |
| Karu | Hi folks~ I'm having a really strange NFS issue on 13.10. Server has exported a filesystem to a client on my network, all mount requests to the client are denied. Server syslog says "Refused mount request.... (/): not exported" | 04:39 |
| Serano | from php yes. You could also use a relay mailserver. | 04:39 |
| kimprince | now ruien, how do I work that out? I just actually did the purge again, so probably not got anything now | 04:39 |
| yeyeman | whats the name for the thing where all windows in the current workspace pops up tiled, and clicking on one brings it to focus? | 04:40 |
| Serano | you either install a mailservice and it will work. | 04:40 |
| yeyeman | it happens when I press super+x | 04:40 |
| adam007 | Serano can you give me the link again ? abou tutorial setting up it all | 04:40 |
| Serano | I believe that you could also tell the webserver/php not to use the local maildaemon but use an external one. I have no experience on that so you might need to google or ask someone else for that | 04:40 |
| Karu | showmounts on the client can see the export, and rpcinfo looks good as well. | 04:41 |
| ruien | kimprince: well, in general, you can see your installed packages with "dpkg -l", so you can do "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" -- when I do this, I get "nvidia-319-updates", which is the package I'm using. I'm on xubuntu 13.10 though (which is a very fine release) | 04:41 |
| Serano | http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-courier-mysql-and-squirrelmail-ubuntu-12.04-lts | 04:41 |
| Serano | adam007 | 04:41 |
| adam007 | okay thanks | 04:41 |
| ruien | kimprince: since you did "apt-get purge", you won't have anything installed. But you should still have the deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives, so you can see what you had installed | 04:41 |
| tomreyn | adam007: also /var/log/apt/history.log shows the recent package change requests | 04:42 |
| tomreyn | umm sorry this was for kimprince | 04:43 |
| kimprince | ruien, you're right, there is nothing when I dpkg. Not sure there's much point in looking in the archives, since I have tried all sort of install/uninstall today. I would even be happy with my onboard gpu card... | 04:43 |

| ruien | kimprince: this is kind of off-topic, but have you considered trying a Live USB of ubuntu 13.10? I know 12.04 is the LTS, but they've really fixed some stuff in newer kernels since then, and upgrading fixed graphics problems for me (nvidia GTX 460) awhile back. | 04:45 |

| kimprince | ChogyDan, I don't have a /var/X11 directory | 04:46 |

| ChogyDan | kimprince: erm, yeah, I guess if the error happens when nvidia is installed, then you would need to post Xorg0log from when you actually have nvidia installed | 05:01 |
| tomreyn | yeyeman: looks like the default theme got removed | 05:01 |
| ruien | kimprince: kostkon mentioned that the latest 12.04 does have a pretty new kernel and X, but I still think it'll be a nice test to see what 13.10 does. Also, can you tell me what nvidia driver options you have? Here's the command: apt-cache search 'nvidia-' | grep -P '^nvidia-\d+-updates' | 05:01 |
| yeyeman | tomreyn, will that mess with what I currently have?? | 05:01 |
| olinux | trying to set a directory writable by all members of group .. so .. find -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \; | 05:02 |
| tomreyn | yeyeman: not if what you have now was installed properly / in a clean way / without messing with files of another package (which is a no, no, no) | 05:02 |
| olinux | user1 can create file, but user2 doesnt have permission to edit | 05:03 |

| ChogyDan | sasuke: do you have akonadi? | 05:04 |
| xangua | ruien: kimprince you can install 3.11 kernel in precise via official repositories | 05:04 |
| kimprince | here is the output of apt-cache, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6969181/ | 05:05 |
| sasuke | ChogyDan, is it a service?, if yes "command not found" it is saying | 05:05 |
| ChogyDan | sasuke: fwiw, kjots works fine for me in 13.10 | 05:05 |
| sasuke | /etc/init.d/akonadi: command not found | 05:05 |
| kimprince | ruien, what is he 3.11 kernet? a linux kernel? | 05:05 |
| yeyeman | tomreyn, Now it says "Warning cant load fallback CSS resource ... does not exist" | 05:05 |
| kimprince | sorry - should have been for xangua | 05:06 |
| yeyeman | tomreyn, and does not open gui ofc | 05:06 |
| ChogyDan | sasuke: maybe try akonadictl start | 05:06 |
| ruien | kimprince: the 3.11 kernel is the kernel that ubuntu 13.10 uses. It's just a newer version of the kernel. 14.04 currently runs the 3.13 kernel for instance. So, if your test works, what xangua means is that there is a way to get newer kernels without having to completely reinstall your system or dist-upgrade. The live USB is just a way to get some data to work with | 05:08 |
| === NfNitLoo1 is now known as NfNitLoop | ||
| kimprince | ruien, I'm actually downloading the whole 13.10 to a cd. As far as I know I can boot from the cd and run it as a test. Does that sound right? | 05:09 |
| kcdehimposter | Question: Does anybody have a good suggestion for a wireless adapter that is under $30 that will work well for Ubuntu? | 05:09 |
| tomreyn | yeyeman: hmm CSS i only know from the web, i'm afraid i can't help then | 05:09 |
| ruien | kimprince: that's exactly what I'm suggesting, yes. So, if it doesn't work, you didn't waste a bunch of time and break stuff upgrading your system to find out that it didn't work. I usually use a USB drive, not a CD, but it's the same concept. | 05:10 |
| NfNitLoop | Hi! I'm trying to understand the output of ldd. Is this binary really relying on multiple versions of the same library? http://pastebin.com/9L66uVHU | 05:11 |
| yeyeman | tomreyn, thnx anyway | 05:11 |
| crystalmatrix-EM | night | 05:12 |
| Beldar | kimprince, Did you check if the iso exceeded a cd data limits? | 05:12 |
| Karunamon | So the whole NFS thing is really confusing the hell out of me now | 05:12 |
| crystalmatrix-EM | i have some problems ineed install app, | 05:13 |
| sasuke | ChogyDan, i'm not sure , but i got some error i guess | 05:13 |
| Karunamon | apparently my client is defaulting to v4? If I tell the client to mount the root dir, the mount *succeeds*, and then gets me to an empty dir with my actual mount point in it | 05:13 |
| sasuke | http://imagebin.org/294761 | 05:13 |
| Karunamon | great, but I both don't want to use V4 and want to mount my exported folder directly | 05:13 |
| ruien | NfNitLoop: which GLIBC version do you have? Find out using "ldd --version" -- it feels like you're running a pre-compiled binary on a system with an older GLIBC than the one it was compiled on, and that's ldd looking for equivalents | 05:14 |
| Karunamon | setting the --no-nfs-version 4 in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server appears to have no effect | 05:14 |
| Karunamon | and I still can't mount the blasted thing :( | 05:14 |
| NfNitLoop | ruien: I kindof figured that. I'm just trying to figure out what all those version info lines mean. :) ldd --version says: ldd (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.5) 2.11.1 | 05:15 |
| kimprince | Beldar, just dealing with that now | 05:15 |
| NfNitLoop | (Yes. It's old. I should upgrade. Just want to confirm that an upgrade will fix it before I go through the effort.) :p | 05:15 |
| tapout | hey fellas, is there a way to 'calculate' what changed from the ubuntu install? So I can see what I've changed and replicate it later? | 05:16 |
| NfNitLoop | tapout: as in packages installed? Configuration files modified? | 05:16 |
| tapout | well, start off with packages installed, from there perhaps configuration files modified | 05:17 |
| Serano | you could check it for changes fairly easy but the specifics, don't believe so. | 05:18 |
| Serano | but it's not impossible | 05:18 |
| tapout | there isn't a way to compute what's in 'base ubuntu' vs what is present now? | 05:19 |
| Serano | well with hashes you could easily check where changes were made. | 05:20 |
| tapout | i'm just talking about packages right now | 05:20 |
| tapout | not so much configuration files | 05:20 |
| Serano | if you go deep enough you might. But I would lack the knowledge :) | 05:20 |
| Serano | dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | 05:21 |
| Serano | this would give you all installed packages | 05:21 |
| ruien | NfNitLoop: I'm not an expert, but I think that an upgrade will fix the problem. The lines say things like this: "libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.2.5) => /lib/libc.so.6", which means that the requirement of some function in libc.so.6 with a GLIBC_2.2.5 version was satisfied by your /lib/libc.so.6 file -- so, no problem at all. But it's the "not found" lines that break it, and upgrading should resolve those runtime dependencies. | 05:22 |
| tapout | ahh, so install another copy, do it on both and i know what changed.. okay cool thanks man | 05:22 |
| Serano | that would do the trick. | 05:22 |
| ruien | NfNitLoop: as an aside, I like to keep an Ubuntu 10.04 VM around for compiling binaries -- those tend to work pretty well most everywhere. | 05:23 |
| Serano | and with hashes you could compare which config files changed | 05:23 |
| Serano | or were different in which testcompy | 05:23 |
| Serano | copy* | 05:23 |
| NfNitLoop | ruien: Ooooh. So the binary is relying on multiple *functions* from those libraries. And some functions were introduced in newer versions of the library? Hence the listing of multiple versions of the same library? | 05:27 |
| Karunamon | Any NFS ideas, guys? So far it looks like I need to force NFSv4 to be disabled and the option in /etc/defaults isn't doing it. | 05:29 |
| Karunamon | err.. /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server that is | 05:29 |
| ruien | NfNitLoop: Again, i'm not an expert, but I think it's more that the symbols it's trying to link against in those SO files are versioned, so the linker can't be sure about all of them matching. For example, calling a function X in a different version of a library may or may not produce what you expected. GLIBC tries to be backwards-compatible, so a newer version should run code compiled for an older one, but not the other way around. | 05:29 |
| ruien | so, if you compile a binary on a pretty old system (i used ubuntu 10.04 as an example), you are usually pretty sure that those will find workable implementations on most systems | 05:30 |
| NfNitLoop | Hrmmm. OK. I kindof wish there were an "ldd for dummies" book I could read. :p | 05:30 |
| NfNitLoop | But it's my bed time. Thanks for your help. :) | 05:31 |
| ruien | good luck :) oh, and look into the "patchelf" program if you like binaries -- that knowledge might come in handy. | 05:31 |

| Barrin6 | can anyone recommend a pdf editor? I just need to use something to fill in some blanks in a PDF | 05:46 |
| raj | will a symlink break if I move the symlink | 05:46 |
| raj | ? | 05:46 |
| hggdh | raj: only if you move the *target* of a symlink | 05:47 |
| raj | hggdh, what if I move the directory that contains the target and the symlink? | 05:47 |
| raj | so relatively speaking, they're still in tact | 05:47 |
| hggdh | raj: n, you moved the target... | 05:48 |
| hggdh | no* | 05:48 |
| raj | ok, got it | 05:48 |
| raj | thanks | 05:48 |
| hggdh | yw | 05:48 |
| ruien | raj: I beg to differ, I think it quite depends on whether you're working with a relative or absolute symlink, and even with a relative symlink, moving either the source or target will break it, but you could move the parent directory and it would be fine. | 05:49 |
| aki2389 | Barrin6: Adobe? | 05:49 |
| Barrin6 | yea | 05:50 |
| hggdh | raj: ruien is correct -- if it is a relative symlink, moving the target may, or may not affect. Thanks, ruien, for the correction | 05:50 |
| raj | ruien, does ln -s create relative or absolute symlinks? | 05:50 |
| ruien | both | 05:50 |
| ruien | ln -s foo bar is relative | 05:50 |
| ruien | ln -s /path/to/foo bar is absolute | 05:50 |
| raj | it's ln -s ../etc abc | 05:51 |
| Serano | then it's relative | 05:51 |
| raj | so absolute | 05:51 |
| raj | ? | 05:51 |
| ruien | that's relative | 05:51 |
| raj | how? | 05:51 |
| Serano | because yiou say from this directory go one up into etc | 05:51 |
| raj | oh, if it's path from root? | 05:51 |
| Serano | if you start from / it's absolute | 05:51 |
| sasuke | can anyone tell me solution plz.. i was unable to create new book/page in kjots in ubuntu12.04 | 05:51 |
| ruien | right. If it starts with a slash, it's absolute; otherwise, relative. | 05:51 |
| raj | got it | 05:52 |
| raj | thank you very much ruien, hggdh , Serano | 05:52 |

| Heratiki | Hullo all! | 06:00 |
| Heratiki | Looking for a little help if anyone is actually awake out there. | 06:01 |
| Serano | just ask the question :) | 06:01 |
| Heratiki | I'm looking for some software on Ubuntu Server that would allow me to send download links to be downloaded remotely. | 06:01 |
| ScyllaBus | Are there any ubuntu distros that support Intel HD 4000? Every distro I've tried does not appear to have any drivers for my Acer Aspire V5 laptop. I keep getting a message "software rendering mode" | 06:02 |
| ScyllaBus | And I always have to start with "nosetmode" on or else the screen goes black upon boot. | 06:02 |
| Serano | Heratiki could you be more precise? As in i have a link and I want my remote server to download it? | 06:02 |
| ruien | ScyllaBus: I had a similar problem in the past, and had to use Ubuntu 10.04, where it "just worked" immediately after booting even on a Live USB. This was not an Intel HD 4000 but probably something similar; I can't remember what exactly. | 06:03 |
| === Zachary_DuBois|A is now known as Zachary_DuBois | ||
| Heratiki | Sure Serano, So lets say I was browsing the web on my laptop and see a download link I would like to have downloaded on my linux server instead of my laptop. | 06:03 |
| ruien | ScyllaBus: It would be a good datapoint to try booting a few of the older Ubuntu LTS releases to see if you encounter a similar situation. In this case the latest driver built for it did not support anything past a particular 2.6.x kernel, so that was the problem. | 06:04 |
| Serano | in console: wget <link> | 06:04 |
| Semor_ | how do I create one virtual IP on my host ? | 06:04 |
| Heratiki | It's a headless server and I administer it primarily through ssh and webmin. | 06:04 |
| Serano | Heratiki the command above is your friend :) | 06:04 |
| ScyllaBus | So..are you saying I should be able to install an earlier version of ubuntu, and then upgrade and it should work fine? | 06:04 |
| Heratiki | Yeah I was looking for some more automated way Serano if that's at all possible. Not looking for someone to solve my problem but instead automate it LOL. | 06:05 |
| ruien | ScyllaBus: no, no - definitely not saying you can upgrade afterward. In my case, this very old machine is still running 10.04, and probably will forever. | 06:05 |
| ScyllaBus | Or would I have to stick with the older version forever? | 06:05 |
| Serano | as in press a button in the browser and the server downloads it entirely on its own? | 06:05 |
| ScyllaBus | Until a supported version? | 06:05 |
| Heratiki | Like say have a Chrome/Firefox extension that would allow me to call the wget function without having to completely shell in? | 06:05 |
| Heratiki | Yes Serano, that's what I was thinking. | 06:05 |
| Serano | Semor_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/313877/how-do-i-add-an-additional-ip-address-to-etc-network-interfaces | 06:06 |
| Serano | first hit on google | 06:06 |
| Heratiki | I'm not demanding just seeing if anyone has attempted anything similar. | 06:06 |
| ruien | ScyllaBus: Probably will never be supported again, because not enough people care about that video driver to do the work of making it compatible with a new kernel. What i'm essentially saying is that it's a mutually-exclusive relationship between the driver that supports the ancient hardware and a modern OS. | 06:06 |
| Heratiki | I don't know how to code extensions but I would think it would be useful and might work on it if there isn't one available. | 06:06 |
| ruien | on the other hand, 10.04 was a Fantastic release, so I don't really care. It suits what i use the box for. | 06:06 |
| ScyllaBus | Still new to ubuntu, would 10.04 still do good for gaming? I.E. with Steam and PlayOnLinux? | 06:07 |
| ScyllaBus | I mean I suppose performance depends more on the actual software you want to use rather than the operating system | 06:07 |
| ruien | No, it wouldn't, definitely not. I think 12.04 is the minimum. But an intel graphics chip usually is not for gaming, right? | 06:07 |
| Serano | I think you still would have to go about getting download link from the page. You should have to open the link. So you would still have to result to compy link location and enter it in somewhere. | 06:07 |
| Serano | if that seems fit for you | 06:07 |
| Semor_ | Serano:After I add a new ip ,could I connect it from eth0 ? | 06:07 |
| Heratiki | ScyllaBus: 12.04 would be the minimum for Steam and PlayOnLinux works better the closer to bleeding edge you get unfortunately. | 06:08 |
| Serano | you could get away with a 5 line big ssh script | 06:08 |
| ruien | ScyllaBus: the server I'm referring to is an internal fileserver not exposed to the internet | 06:08 |
| ScyllaBus | Darn. | 06:08 |
| ScyllaBus | So there's no way to run the latest version of ubuntu on my laptop? | 06:08 |
| Serano | Semor_: no the interface is eth0:1 | 06:08 |
| ScyllaBus | Without using software rendering mode? | 06:08 |
| Serano | or eth0:0 | 06:08 |
| Serano | you just create a virtual interface on the same interface so it can handle 2 ip's | 06:08 |
| Semor_ | Serano:I want to config my lvs environment | 06:09 |
| Heratiki | That's a good idea Serano, I wonder if I could create a bookmarklet capable of that. | 06:09 |
| ruien | ScyllaBus: well, even if you could, your graphics driver isn't going to support all of the OpenGL extensions and everything that modern games expect, so they won't run, and you'd have to run software mode anyway. | 06:09 |
| Serano | Heratiki i bet you could even do it with some javascript on a page that you bookmark | 06:09 |
| Serano | but the problem remains, how would you pinpoint the right link on the page | 06:10 |
| Heratiki | Yeah that's what I was thinking. But calling to SSH using just Javascript I don't think would be possible. | 06:10 |
| Serano | it wopuld still require some action on your part | 06:10 |
| Serano | maybe you could write an extension to your browser so that when you right click the link | 06:10 |
| Serano | the javascript or w/escript is started | 06:11 |
| Heratiki | Maybe have the Javascript pick up all download links available on the page and you pick which ones to send? | 06:11 |
| Serano | then I would prefer my last suggestion | 06:11 |
| Serano | since that requires only 1 user interaction instead of 2/3 | 06:11 |
| Heratiki | ScyllaBus: have you tried these drivers? https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=13815 | 06:11 |
| Serano | 1. right click, select or bookmarklet -> list links -> pick right link -> click | 06:11 |
| Heratiki | Yeah and I would have to teach myself either javascript bookmarklets or how to code extensions so I guess it's time to start learning. | 06:12 |
| Heratiki | Thank you for the help Serano | 06:13 |
| Serano | yw, good luck! | 06:13 |
| Serano | and if you succeed let me know :) i could use it too | 06:13 |
| Serano | btw Heratiki: on the ssh in javascript problem. you could if you run linux. Since it would be on the console. | 06:15 |
| Serano | or php' exec() | 06:15 |
| Heratiki | Yeah true. And Chrome has an SSH Extension as well. I originally thought of some type of software on the server side that I could send short commands like wget. | 06:16 |
| Heratiki | Yeah I need to learn a lot haha. | 06:16 |
| Serano | actually come to think about it, it would still be hard through ssh | 06:17 |
| Serano | since you would still have to identify yourself. | 06:17 |
| Serano | with a open python socket listening for commands you might | 06:17 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: what is it you're trying to achieve? I missed the beginning of your issue | 06:17 |
| Heratiki | I'm attempting to easily send a remote download link to my headless server. | 06:18 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: I thought so - I do that :) | 06:18 |
| Heratiki | Example. Browsing the web and see a file I would like on my server. Right Click and choose download to server. | 06:18 |
| Heratiki | Something like that. Or maybe a download manager that would allow me to choose the server as a location to download to. LOL | 06:19 |
| Heratiki | Although you know. I could really just download dropbox on my server and then send the download link to dropbox I believe. | 06:20 |
| Heratiki | Though that seems quite a roundabout way. | 06:20 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: Locally, I ssfs mount an (empty) directory from the server. On the server is an inotifywait based shell script that watches for new files in that directory and when one appears, it checks it contains a valid URL (its just a text file) and if so passes the URL to wget, then moves the file into a ./downloaded/ sub-dir. | 06:20 |
| ScyllaBus | Ahh what the. I can't load my ubuntu. The grub menu does not appear to load. I'm trying to do "nomodeset" but I can't since I can't even see the grub menu. | 06:20 |
| kimprince | ruien, 13.10 looks fine on my PC, but runs really slow. Presumably its slow because of the USB? | 06:21 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: Then locally, you can either create the links manually (just write a text file into the directory containing the URL), or have some browser add-on like flashgot save the links | 06:21 |
| shadej | hello everyone | 06:22 |
| rannonga | hi shadej | 06:22 |
| Heratiki | Hmmmm... | 06:22 |
| Heratiki | Hello shadej | 06:22 |
| shadej | openjdk-7 is not my package list,how do I add it? | 06:22 |
| ruien | kimprince: Yes, slow because of USB. It's really a well-optimized release. | 06:22 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: s/ssfs/sshfs/ :) | 06:22 |
| kimprince | OK. So looks like I can install in parallel with 12.04, just in case? | 06:23 |
| Serano | shadej: http://openjdk.java.net/install/ | 06:23 |
| === black is now known as Guest42478 | ||
| Heratiki | TJ, the only problem with ssfs would be that moving between different operating systems could cause a headache. But definitely what I will use with Crunchbang. | 06:26 |
| Serano | Heratiki i know a bypass for that with his system | 06:26 |
| Heratiki | ? | 06:27 |
| Serano | for openvpn config distribution i use bittorrent sync. You could save that text file locally in a directory that is in sync with a dir on the server | 06:27 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: For Windows, you could use WinSCP and push the URL file to the server's directory, directly, rather than have it locally mounted | 06:27 |
| Serano | and then with an ssh script and/or cron you could get wget to the textfile | 06:27 |
| Heratiki | See the way that bittorrent works is exactly what I want only with normal downloads LOL | 06:27 |
| Serano | bittorrent sync | 06:28 |
| pol | are sites like http://www.000webhost.com/ (free hosting) supports(or any provision to install) web servers like apache/nginx/other? | 06:28 |
| Serano | its a diffferent protocol | 06:28 |
| Serano | its p2p between your devices | 06:28 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: There is also sftpdrive for windows | 06:28 |
| Heratiki | True TJ, the only problem that I could use puTTY and wget to go just as fast as using WinSCP. | 06:28 |
| Serano | its p2p cloud between your network | 06:28 |
| Serano | nods | 06:28 |
| Heratiki | Hmm Serano, I'll check that out as well. | 06:28 |
| Serano | and very easy to setup | 06:29 |
| shadej | Serano: the link shows how to install openjdk-7,but I am saying the package is not on my list | 06:29 |
| === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Zachary_DuBois|A | ||
| Serano | shadej: m@elegbeta:~$ sudo apt-cache search openjdk-7-jre | 06:29 |
| Serano | openjdk-7-jre - OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT | 06:29 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: If you've got an HTTP service on the server, set up a URL listener that receives the URL required via a simple HTTP GET | 06:29 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: You could do a simple listener with netcat | 06:30 |
| Heratiki | I could do that TJ- I wonder how secure that would be outside of my own network? I | 06:30 |
| Heratiki | All great ideas though. | 06:30 |
| Serano | many technologies, many options, which one you choose is yours :) | 06:31 |
| Serano | the great thing about open source: choice! | 06:31 |
| shadej | Serano: what is that for? to search my package list? | 06:31 |
| Heratiki | LOL Serano, for sure! | 06:31 |
| Serano | shadej: try sudo apt-get search openjdk | 06:31 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: Very... you pass a magic cookie value as part of the GET request, and do it over HTTPS | 06:31 |
| Serano | then install it with the packagename returnname and the command: sudo apt-get install packagename | 06:32 |
| shadej | Serano: I did and there is nothing about openjdk-7 | 06:32 |
| Heratiki | I'm checking to see if Chrome can handle ssh:// links. | 06:33 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: If you went the HTTP(S) service route, you'd only need a simple Send-To add-in for the browser, which would be a context-menu option on links | 06:34 |
| Heratiki | Interesting TJ. | 06:35 |
| Serano | well at least you have a little project now :) | 06:36 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: I do recall seeing something like that, or else writing one for Firefox myself, some years ago | 06:38 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: It was in the context of a remote-bookmark storage service I wrote | 06:39 |
| Heratiki | If it comes to mind let me know. I'm searching on how to push info from a bookmarklet to a webserver. | 06:40 |
| Heratiki | Something similar to (javascript: window.sshuser = prompt('Login to ' + window.location.hostname + ' as', window.sshuser || ''); user = (window.sshuser ? window.sshuser + '@' : ''); window.location = 'ssh://' + user + window.location.hostname) | 06:41 |
| Heratiki | But instead of pushing to the address bar it would allow me to send a direct command. | 06:41 |
| TJ- | Heratiki: If you use the HTTP(S) idea then all you need to do is a simple HTTP request | 06:42 |
| DF3D2 | whats a good terminal emulator that can set tab names ? | 06:42 |
| Heratiki | Yup I'm also looking up an HTTP server setup. | 06:42 |
| olinux_ | i'd like to set a directory writable by all members of group .. so any future files can be edited by others in the same group | 06:43 |

| wheatthin | binali, !ask | 06:49 |
| binali | How can I install apps from ubuntu lucid on ubuntu saucy with apt-get ? | 06:51 |
| binali | I need KSimus or Ktechlab | 06:51 |
| binali | But, it's avaible only for lucid... | 06:52 |
| khildin | you could download the .deb or (not recommended) add the lucid repo in sources.list | 06:52 |
| TJ- | binali: The dependencies might not allow it; unless you're an expert it is not a good idea to mix release repositories | 06:53 |
| wheatthin | why not just do a full upgrade? | 06:53 |
| binali | May I add lucid repo and after installation delete lucid repo | 06:55 |
| binali | ? | 06:55 |
| TJ- | binali: The best approach might be to create a Lucid chroot to run it in | 06:55 |
| TJ- | binali: Not a good idea! Not unless you want to break the package management | 06:55 |
| makara | hi. I have two NICs, and Ubuntu detected them when I installed and asked me to choose the default, but now - ifconfig - I only see lo, and eth0. `ifup eth1` fails | 06:55 |
| TJ- | binali: The software hasn't been updated for over 10 years | 06:56 |
| TJ- | makara: "ifconfig -a" | 06:56 |
| binali | People, I need alternative for Electronics Worckbench) | 06:57 |
| merlin1978 | if the visitor has slow connection and far from your server does this affect the server's resources like cpu, bandwidth, memory, etc... ? | 06:57 |
| makara | TJ-, ok I see eth1 | 06:57 |
| TJ- | makara: "ifup eth1" won't do anything unless there's a stanza in "/etc/network/interfaces" for that interface | 06:58 |
| binali | Is it simple way, if I download all .deb and install it with dpkg? | 06:59 |
| shadej | merlin1978: it may affect your bandwidth but not that much I think | 06:59 |

| varun_ | Rudde, it is a 7260 chip, that needs a newer firmware that is not yet present in your system. | 07:33 |
| Rudde | Hmm, how can I get it? | 07:34 |
| Rudde | But why did it work during installation? | 07:34 |
| varun_ | Rudde, not sure. For now, please try - "sudo apt-get update" .... then ........ "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ..... then ..... "sudo apt-get install linux-firmware" | 07:35 |
| Rudde | nothing new on any of them | 07:36 |
| varun_ | Rudde, as per my knowledge, the required firmware should have been part of 3.11 kernel (and later). It might have been corrupted or something else. Did the update/dist-upgrade finish successfully? | 07:37 |
| Rudde | yes | 07:38 |
| Rudde | and i have restarted since | 07:38 |
| Rudde | Also this worked when I had the laptop in non UEFI mode, but I had other bugs there | 07:39 |
| varun_ | Rudde, UEFI or Legacy modes have nothing to do with wireless functionality, so don't worry about that. Please do now - "sudo apt-get clean" .. then.. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-firmware" | 07:40 |
| kimprince | ruien, this 13.10 install got to the last few bits but it has been stuck on Downloading Packages for more than an hour. If I hit skip, will these packages get downloaded later? | 07:41 |

| Rudde | and restart? | 07:42 |
| ruien | kimprince: ah, i live in china so i have that problem too sometimes -- it's stupid and doesn't let you choose a good mirror for installation. My "solution" is to completely disconnect internet during installation, so it has to install offline. Then, I just install updates after i've set a good mirror. | 07:42 |

| varun_ | makara, the error you are getting means apt is reading sources from *somewhere*, (also, the failure may indeed be temporary - server down or something like that) | 08:17 |
| makara | ruien, base is empty, original has my nameserver in it | 08:18 |
| varun_ | makara, maybe search for the string "http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security" in you /etc/apt directory (grep -R 'http://security.ubuntu.com precise-security' /etc/apt) | 08:19 |
| ruien | makara: what do you mean, "original"? resolvconf has two pieces, "base" and "head", and you put your nameserver in "base". Then "service resolvconf restart" builds /etc/resolv.conf for you | 08:19 |

| rannonga | hi iriri | 08:43 |
| iriri | I downloaded and installed via apt-get. When commanded "sudo startx" it showed "cinammon error" notification (I don't even have cinnamon). I commanded only "startx" and it showed a black screen for couple of minutes. I rebooted computer, and finally an interface. But when I type password on my user, it makes the sound of when it shows the interface after booting, and get back to the interface as I never typed anything. Typed several times and always | 08:43 |

| rannonga | iriri: ubuntu minimal? | 08:44 |

| iriri | My ubuntu wasn't booting. Showed a prompt "user-XY:login", i typedthe user from the machine, it asked the password, I gave, and turned from a prompt to a terminal style. I commanded "reboot", but I can't get into the machine. | 08:44 |
| iriri | I don't want to lose all the infa I have there. | 08:44 |
| iriri | So, I installed the startx as I wrote above. (sorry, I inverted the text order, I'm copy/pasting) | 08:45 |
| iriri | I can use aurora on guest-user, so I didn't lose all the data. | 08:46 |
| iriri | Even so, I can't acess it. | 08:46 |
| ruien | iriri: can you get into a terminal? If so, you can just use a command-line tool like rsync to copy all of your data off the computer, then re-format it. That might not be the best approach, but getting your data off should make anything else you try a lot safer. | 08:48 |

| leeyaa | is it possible to do that ? | 08:53 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, if the interface is controlled by the /etc/network/interfaces file, you can add your script to /etc/network/ifup.d (or ifdown.d) directory. | 08:54 |
| geirha | or write an upstart file that triggers on that event | 08:55 |
| leeyaa | varun_: what is the difference between two? ifup will start it on networking start ? | 08:55 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, yup, the difference is as the name suggests. | 08:56 |
| leeyaa | it is a vpn interface, atm i am starting it from terminal | 08:56 |
| leeyaa | not sure how to add it to start on networking restart | 08:56 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, it is also possible via adding your scripts to 'Upstart' jobs, but I don't know how to do that. | 08:57 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, but if you are starting it manually from terminal, why don't you add the script to your starting command as well? | 08:58 |
| leeyaa | varun_: what do you mean ? | 08:58 |
| xeon | Hi everyone | 09:00 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, if you have to enter a command in terminal MANUALLY anyway, what advantage would you get by automating the script. Just it manually too. OR, add your command to start the VPN interface to your script in question, and just run that modified script from the terminal | 09:01 |
| varun_ | just *run it manually too * | 09:01 |
| leeyaa | varun_: but how to make it start when networking service is restarted | 09:02 |
| leeyaa | because atm if restart it vpn doesnt start on its own | 09:02 |
| xeon | I use BackTrack5 r3. Is possible hack the web site with BackTrack? | 09:02 |
| DJones | xeon: Backtrack isn't supported here, neither is discussion about illegal activities | 09:04 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, which physical interface your VPN uses? Is that interface controlled by the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 09:04 |
| leeyaa | varun_: no, i dont know how to do that | 09:04 |
| leeyaa | it uses eth0 | 09:04 |
| leeyaa | thats the only physical interface | 09:05 |
| varun_ | DJones, why not? I'm keen to tell everyone how I hacked into NSA servers yesterday.. :| | 09:05 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, are you controlling eth0 via the interfaces file or with Network Manager? | 09:06 |
| leeyaa | varun_: it is set up in interfaces file | 09:06 |
| leeyaa | not sure what network manager is | 09:06 |
| leeyaa | im coming from centos and i inherited these ubuntu servers, so i feel very lame ;p | 09:07 |
| Karmahacker | Hi everyone! how could i limit Gnome interface to specific user ? | 09:07 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, the GUI program where you manage the network connections from - that is, if you are using it. | 09:08 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: You can add an " up ..." clause the the parent interface that executes a script to bring up the VPN | 09:08 |
| leeyaa | varun_: i dont have any gui on any of the machines | 09:08 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: What kind of VPN is it? IPSec, PPTP, SSL ? | 09:08 |
| leeyaa | erm, it is juniper network connect thing, interface is tun0 | 09:09 |
| varun_ | leeyaa, TJ- seems to have first hand experience with these, please try what he suggests | 09:09 |
| leeyaa | TJ-: not sure how to check it out. it does use ssl | 09:09 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: Network Manager is a system service that can manage network interfaces automatically... it also has a GUI front-end called nm-applet or similar, which is a small GUI client that talks to the network-manager service | 09:10 |
| leeyaa | TJ-: i dont have any gui and i am not allowed to install any | 09:10 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: If you already have the script to start the VPN, then for example in "/etc/network/interfaces" you might add to the "iface eth0 inet static" stanza, something like " up /usr/local/bin/vpn_start.sh" | 09:11 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: You don't need a GUI for Network Manager, it's configurable via config files the same as other system services, but you don't need Network Manager either, if you configure the interfaces via "/etc/network/interfaces", which is used by the ifup/down scripts | 09:12 |
| abzmodeel | anyone familiar with ubuntu server | 09:12 |
| leeyaa | TJ-: so something like this then ? http://bpaste.net/show/979MHLnwaHRIVRkekFg2/ | 09:13 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: Yes... for more info "man ifup" and see the "IFACE OPTIONS" section | 09:14 |
| leeyaa | interesting | 09:14 |
| leeyaa | thank you tj | 09:14 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: You can provide script in the usual location: "/etc/network/if-up.d/" - there's several sub-dirs there for the various stages of an interface's lifecycle | 09:15 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: down, post-down, pre-up, up | 09:15 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: A good tip: Debian/Ubuntu are *very* hot on having complete documentation of commands and config files in the man pages... so it ought to be your 1st port of call when you need to find something out like this | 09:16 |
| leeyaa | TJ-: im just very new to ubuntu, i will read documentation, but need to get that thing up and running first | 09:17 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: Another tip: if you know a command but don't know which package it is installed from: "dpkg-query -S <some-text-in-command-name>" will report the package-name.... To see everything that package installed "dpkg-query -L <package-name>" | 09:18 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: Yes, it's a strong learning curve switching from RHEL-based to Debian-based | 09:18 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: actually, Debian is hot on having documentation, Ubuntu-specific stuff, especially if it's GUI related or internal admin stuff often ends up with 7 undocumented | 09:18 |
| TJ- | yacc_: Well, if it's GUI then there's not much use for a man-page! | 09:19 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: last item coming to mind would be all the nice oem-config commands that only exist during an OEM install. | 09:19 |
| MKCoin | I disabled zeitgeist's collection of "Recent files" etc, but I noticed it still shows the last set of recent files from before I disabled collection. How can I clear out that cache? | 09:19 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: well, config files, general purpose, and so on. | 09:19 |
| leeyaa | TJ-: there is no package for this vpn, actually it is from a rpm package. thanks for the tip tho | 09:19 |
| leeyaa | lets see if i will be able to make it auto start ;p | 09:20 |
| chanthu | hey | 09:20 |
| TJ- | yacc_: well there is man 8 oem-config-{firstboot,prepare,} | 09:21 |
| TJ- | yacc_: I suspect those being so specialised most of the knowledge is inside Canonical | 09:21 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: not for the command that is run when you click on "prepare for end-user" | 09:21 |
| Squiggz | Does anyone use plex??? | 09:22 |
| leeyaa | TJ-: can i configure that tun0 interface in interfaces file and then start it via ifup ? | 09:22 |
| === nylar is now known as whostolemyelectr | ||
| leeyaa | or something like that ? | 09:22 |
| TJ- | leeyaa: Yes | 09:22 |
| Squiggz | I am having trouble with plex server reading my External hdd drive | 09:22 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: anyway, Debian is slightly more religious than Ubuntu on having man pages. | 09:22 |
| Squiggz | with all my files on it | 09:22 |
| TJ- | yacc_: Indeed | 09:23 |
| TJ- | Squiggz: You broke it again? | 09:23 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: Anyway, commercial environment, has it good and bad side. (E.g. the alternate installer was dropped before the GUI has all the functionality). | 09:23 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: that would be creating a LVM with the manual partitioning tool (Hint: you won't do that) | 09:24 |
| Squiggz | TJ-: hahahaha | 09:24 |
| TJ- | yacc_: typical case isn't it? Some developers still don't seem grasp the basic user satisfaction issue of not removing functionality just because they have a shiney new toy to program | 09:24 |
| Squiggz | it is actually working great plex just wont recognize anything for some reason | 09:24 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: well, not having a text mode installer (the mini.iso is not compatible with usb creator, and has potential issues with UEFI) is kind of stupid. | 09:25 |
| yacc_ | TJ-: hardware should work, but realistically, in some cases you might need to configure/install manually before, ... | 09:26 |
| _Cody | i heard ubuntu does not use xorg. why can i still use stuff like xmodmap then? | 09:26 |
| yacc_ | _Cody: it still uses X11. | 09:27 |
| yacc_ | _Cody: we wanted to get rid of it, but it takes time it seems. | 09:27 |
| _Cody | innovation is always interesting :) | 09:27 |
| _Cody | ok, but then i am informed and can tell ubuntu-users they can use my keyboard layout too | 09:28 |

| varun_ | RockyRoad_, it is not recommended anyway. Unless you are using everything from the recommended repositories only, and have been updating regularly, it is very prone to breakage. Fresh installation is the recommended way to upgrade. | 09:49 |
| wsnipex | scp test_1.csv [yourusername]@yourlocalmachine:~ | 09:49 |
| smallmouse | wsnipex: thanks | 09:49 |
| RockyRoad_ | So it means all manually installed packages and settings will be lost ?? not cool ... | 09:51 |
| varun_ | RockyRoad_, bitter truth, although there are ways to carry them over to the new install, but I'm not much familiar with them. | 09:52 |
| TJ- | RockyRoad_: Do it from the terminal, you'll get useful info there or in the log-files | 09:52 |
| TJ- | RockyRoad_: "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 09:52 |
| RockyRoad_ | THANKS T3, I didn't know that command | 09:53 |
| varun_ | RockyRoad_, most of the installed packages get upgraded anyway, so it is usually not too different than reinstalling them fresh. But yeah, redoing the settings/preferences hurts. | 09:53 |
| varun_ | RockyRoad_, installing the packages in one go is easy with "dpkg --get-selections > yourlistfile" and "sudo dpkg --set-selections.." commands | 09:55 |

| MrHanky_ | basically all I want to know is, how can I accomplish "pip install ecdsa" without actually connecting it to the internet - where can I find the package file and download it, save to usb, and what ocmmand do I need to run once I've moved the usb stick to the other PC... | 10:53 |
| profesor_ | y love everyone | 10:53 |
| X3NQ | MrHanky_, ah I see. Can't you connect it to the internet temporary to install the required packages? If not you will have to download them manually then move them onto you machine (usb stick, etc..) then install them with their setup instructions, easy. | 10:53 |
| Squiggz | tj-: you here? | 10:54 |
| profesor_ | viva la guardia civil! | 10:54 |
| MrHanky_ | The idea is 'dark storage' - I lost some BTC after my synology (debian based) NAS was comrpomised and my wallet.dat got stolen. | 10:54 |
| MrHanky_ | I'm now creating an offline wallet that will never see the internet. Period. Not even for 5 minutes. | 10:54 |
| MrHanky_ | I realise the risk of exposure is very low, but I would prefer zero risk | 10:54 |
| MrHanky_ | so I would prefer to never bring this PC online | 10:55 |
| X3NQ | MrHanky_, but it will need to be connected in some way to actually move coins in / out? | 10:55 |
| profesor_ | i need support | 10:55 |
| profesor_ | for find a friendo | 10:55 |
| profesor_ | pleaseee! | 10:55 |

| MrHanky_ | To receive - no. To send - yes .... electrum lets you create an unsigned transaction (save to a .txt file) on an internet connected pc, then move it to the offline PC - you sign it there, and bring it back to the internet connected PC to be sent to the network | 10:55 |
| MrHanky_ | It's very clever :) which is why I want to use it | 10:56 |
| Serano | MrHanky_ use TrueCrypt with no swap. Then everything stays encryted in the memory | 10:56 |
| MrHanky_ | @Serano was planning on using truecrypt as a container for the private key anyway | 10:56 |
| Serano | well all your layers of protection fail when you pay something | 10:57 |
| Serano | unless it's only a receiving account | 10:57 |
| MrHanky_ | Hmm... how so? | 10:57 |
| Serano | because when you would use your wallet to pay you would still have to expose it to an internet connection | 10:58 |
| Serano | hence then chance the data gets stolen | 10:58 |
| MrHanky_ | nope - electrum lets you sign offline | 10:58 |
| Serano | To receive - no. To send - yes | 10:58 |
| MrHanky_ | you have a 'view only' wallet on your internet connected pc | 10:58 |
| MrHanky_ | it can "see" your wallet but can't send (it doesn't have your private key) | 10:58 |
| crond | Anyone have any idea why my Nexus 5 would show up in lsusb as a Nexus 4? I can't seem to mount it via mtp | 10:59 |
| MrHanky_ | it can create transactions (unsigned) that are worthless without the signature of your private key - stored securely on your offline pc | 10:59 |
| MrHanky_ | in this case, an offline live-usb stick | 10:59 |
| MrHanky_ | which will be booted on my laptop with no ethernet cable connected, and wifi not configured | 10:59 |
| MrHanky_ | so i import the unsigned transaction, sign it with my private key (retrieved from my truecrypt volume) | 10:59 |
| MrHanky_ | then bring the signed transcation back to my internet connected PC | 11:00 |
| Serano | if the possibility exists than you could do it | 11:00 |
| MrHanky_ | if you're interested, check it out https://electrum.org/ | 11:00 |
| MrHanky_ | If this works for me, I'll never use bitcoin-qt again :) | 11:00 |
| X3NQ | Got my wallet somewhere on a little encrypted usb stick. Got about 40 bitcoins on there | 11:01 |
| MrHanky_ | Nice. | 11:01 |
| Serano | the system looks nice. I just use a usb-live with truecrypt | 11:01 |
| profesor_2 | Djones you are so bad person... | 11:02 |
| X3NQ | MrHanky_, back in the day when you could ask for free bitcoins and a friend gave me 10 to get started | 11:02 |

| daftykins | ah well, someone else will need to help. be sure to tell them the above folder rename i suggested | 12:06 |
| diecastarts | its tries to .. it pops up the report crash windows for a second and then goes back to the login screen still | 12:06 |
| diecastarts | but the crash report is normal | 12:06 |
| diecastarts | yeah odd it made a new lxpanel folder but its empty | 12:07 |

| diecastarts | or maybe not because it goes to the login. | 12:14 |
| Walex | glambert: perhaps it is being rebooted by its host; or perhaps its kernel has a bug in a virtual environment | 12:16 |

| CullenDM | I was just seeing if anyone actually paying attention. | 12:27 |
| CullenDM | Anyway, I just upgraded my install and update manager said that the upgrade was aborted and unfinished. | 12:28 |
| CullenDM | So, it appears that I am stuck halfway between two versions, and I have looked around a good bit, but haven't found any advice on how to remedy the situation other than just wiping everything and starting fresh. | 12:30 |

| SirLagz | what's in your sources.list file at the moment ? | 12:30 |
| CullenDM | And when I run apt-get update it says that it failed to retrieve. | 12:31 |
| SirLagz | well that's not right. | 12:31 |
| trijntje | CullenDM: failed to retreive what? | 12:31 |

| SirLagz | CullenDM: lol | 12:32 |
| CullenDM | I have two sources.list. | 12:33 |
| trijntje | CullenDM: not updates, the exact url its failing to fetch. It could be a problem with your connection, or with your local mirror | 12:33 |
| CullenDM | One is sources.list and it contains raring. | 12:33 |

| cfhowlett | note: end of life | 12:33 |
| CullenDM | Never mind, I was only looking at the first line. | 12:35 |
| trijntje | CullenDM: can you type 'update-manager -d' in a terminal and see what happens? | 12:35 |
| CullenDM | The original install media was Raring. | 12:35 |
| CullenDM | I was on 13.10, all of my sources have no changed to trusty. | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | CullenDM, are you trying to upgrade from raring? | 12:35 |
| CullenDM | No, 13.10 to 10.04. | 12:36 |

| ruien | Hello. I created a custom ubuntu repository named "trusty-sanseb" with the package "fdupes", so when I "apt-get update", it finds this same package (same version) in both "trusty" and "trusty-sanseb". Apt provides an option (-t) to install from a particular target, so I think I should be able to install the one from mine using "apt-get install -t trusty-sanseb fdupes", but it still installs the one from the official repos ("trusty"). Anyone know why? /etc/apt/ | 13:29 |
| JoeSomebody | ok thanks, i just want desktops icons , then maybe i learn to like it more, but if not flexible at all, nahhh it cant be as bad as it seems, cant be :) | 13:29 |

| JoeSomebody | how about keyboard shortcuts for apps ? | 13:30 |
| JoeSomebody | still want a desktop though | 13:30 |
| ruien | cfhowlett: i don't think this is related to trusty at all, this is 100% apt. It just happens that i'm using the name "trusty" in the repo distribution label. | 13:30 |

| therealmat | when i try to boot the desktop installation dvd all I see is a colored background and two icons at the bottom of the screen with an equals sign (=) between them. Nothing happens... | 13:53 |
| therealmat | one time i hit some key at the grub boot menu and it actually booted to the screen where i can decide to test or install ubuntu. then X crashed with some nouveau error. i have a gtx580 from nvidia | 13:53 |

| jbooms | press enter when u see it, means u dont got efi bios | 13:53 |
| therealmat | hitsujiTMO, well, since i can't see the grub menu that won't work | 13:54 |
| therealmat | can i switch from the server version to the desktop version? or is there some "real" difference? All I need is the gnome desktop, LAMP, thunderbird, firefox and xchat | 13:54 |
| jbooms | no when u see that weird symbol, press enter | 13:55 |
| therealmat | that way i could set up the system, install the nvidia drivers and blacklist that damned nouveau driver | 13:55 |
| jbooms | im using ubuntu gnome, luv it, think it may b bit slower then fedora just a guess, but unlike fedora it works most time | 13:56 |

| cuddylier | Why do the Ubuntu isos say AMD in their name? | 17:04 |
| watti | <blazemore> NO | 17:04 |
| hitsujiTMO | cuddylier: amd created the current 64bit spec. intel licence it from amd | 17:05 |
| blazemore | watti: Then don't worry about it | 17:05 |
| blazemore | The "amd64" in the Ubuntu installation image filename is a common way to refer to all 64-bit processors (by both Intel and AMD) - It's called this for historical reasons around the invention of the architecture | 17:05 |
| blazemore | watti: It likely means the kernel is trying to load a firewire module, but you don't have any firewire devices or something | 17:05 |

| Seveas | antifa: why would you want that? openoffice is pretty much dead, and libreoffice can do everything openoffice can. | 20:10 |
| Seveas | xubuntu_: with the mkfs command | 20:10 |
| xubuntu_ | hmm | 20:10 |
| antifa | cause I have nothing else to do and I was trying to do this :)) | 20:10 |

| antifa | user_ unetbootin | 20:11 |
| user_ | antifa: heard the new unetbootin can't do it | 20:11 |
| antifa | ? | 20:11 |
| Seveas | antifa: well, your best shot would be to install from source. Get the build dependencies with sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice and then do the ./configure/make/make install dance. Be sure to pick a PREFIX like /usr/local/openoffice so removing it is one rm -rf | 20:11 |
| antifa | try runing power iso | 20:11 |
| Seveas | user_: this channel is for ubuntu support try ##windows for windows support. | 20:12 |
| antifa | thanks | 20:13 |
| antifa | it sounds like a real head pain | 20:13 |
| antifa | :)) | 20:13 |

| mike__ | user_: you know who to blame? | 20:23 |
| webfox | I was guessing it was a DNS issue but I already tested it and doesn't change anything. | 20:23 |
| tomreyn | user_: in most configurations installing it to the MBR (so to /dev/sda + if you have, other disks like sdb, sdc ...) is sufficient | 20:23 |
| tomreyn | webfox: how is the outside something connecting to it? | 20:23 |
| webfox | tomreyn: yes, by ssh | 20:23 |
| webfox | tomreyn: but it can't even ping a URL | 20:24 |
| tomreyn | webfox: URLs are just descriptions of locations, you cannot "ping an URL" | 20:25 |
| webfox | tomreyn: if I ping URL it fails but if I ping an IP it works. So it should be a DNS issue. | 20:25 |

| iknowalittle | webfox: just jumping in here, but it looks like your dns isn't working. | 20:31 |

| webfox | jhutchins: right. But where do I have to ove in order to set a DNS other then resolv.conf? | 20:33 |
| jhutchins | webfox: It depends. Is the configuration static or DHCP? | 20:33 |
| Cherir | beldar can i send you a screenshot ? | 20:33 |
| tomreyn | webfox: okay, let me try to get this right: you have a desktop computer running ubuntu 13.10, it runs some virtualization software, and so your desktop computer is a virtualization host. one of the guests (VMs) is a ubuntu 13.10 server. you are trying to connect from your desktop to this VM (the ubuntu 13.10 server), and it fails with a TCP connect timeout. is this correct? | 20:34 |
| webfox | jhutchins: yes, it uses DHCP and I set it to distribute DNS and set it to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. It showed at resolv.conf as nameserver 8.8.8.8 and nameserver 8.8.4.4 but nothing else changed. | 20:34 |

| yeats | apatheticshp: sorry - stepped away - did you figure it out? and btw, you *can* install dmraid from within the installer environment | 20:40 |

| iknowalittle | I have a ubuntu 12.10 server(actually a host with multiple 12.10 vms as well) that I want to upgrade to 14.04 when it comes out. I've read the upgrade path will be supported, can someone confirm this? | 20:41 |
| okee_ | can anyone help me ?? | 20:41 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: yes, LTS to LTS is supported | 20:42 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: wait - 12.10? | 20:42 |
| OerHeks | iknowalittle, 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 > 14.04 | 20:42 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: sorry - yeah OerHeks is right - wasn't reading closely | 20:42 |
| webfox | I just changed my router to Set DNS Manually with Google DNS and resolv.conf has nameserver 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but still failing to ping google.com and it somehow blocked external ssh connections. | 20:42 |
| jhutchins | okee_: Which default configuration file? | 20:43 |
| yeats | okee_: 'mv file filewithnewname' | 20:43 |
| wawowe | okee_: edit the init file in /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server and change the command to dhcpd -c "your new conf" | 20:43 |
| wawowe | okee_: just the part after -c | 20:44 |
| jhutchins | wawowe: No. | 20:44 |
| iknowalittle | oerheks: 13.04 won't be supported anymore | 20:44 |
| jhutchins | wawowe: There are good reasons for retaining the standard configuration file name and location. | 20:44 |
| vicz | hey im thinking about installing ubunut on a new lenovo T440s, does anyone know if i can use wubi with either windows 8 or 7? | 20:45 |
| wawowe | jhutchins: why not? i know it won't stay like that if there's an upgrade but otherwise the best way to do it would be a link | 20:45 |
| jhutchins | okee_: I would copy the current file to a new name/location and then edit the original to suit. That will preserve comments and explanations in the default file. | 20:45 |
| webfox | The log of sudo apt-get update is here : http://pastebin.com/jWaPd750 | 20:45 |
| wawowe | okee_: jhutchins: cp old-conf old-conf.bak; rm old-conf && ln -s new-conf old-conf | 20:46 |
| jhutchins | wawowe: init files are not meant to be messed with. If anything, they may have option files that can be used to pass options to the daemons, but it is best to stick as close to the defaults as possible, | 20:46 |
| iknowalittle | OerHeks: 13.04 support ends before 14.04 | 20:46 |
| jhutchins | wawowe: That way in five years when you go back to work on the server again, you don't have to spend three hours figuring out what you did. | 20:46 |
| wawowe | jhutchins: how's my revision | 20:46 |
| OerHeks | iknowalittle, then you would need to do a fresh install | 20:47 |
| apatheticshp | yeats - no i haven't figured it out - still a little baffled why linux wouldn't see a hardware raid volume | 20:47 |
| wawowe | jhutchins: true, good point | 20:47 |
| OerHeks | iknowalittle, i would not risk upgrading VM's at all and do them fresh too. | 20:47 |

| basichash | How do I format my usb using terminal? | 20:48 |
| jhutchins | basichash: For what use? | 20:48 |
| iknowalittle | OerHeks: are you saying this because you know it? Or because you're assuming? this happened because of the oddity of the change of support length. 12.10 is supported until after 14.04 comes out, 13.04 isn't | 20:49 |
| yeats | !12.10 | 20:49 |
| ubottu | 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1210 | 20:49 |
| iknowalittle | OerHeks: They are just personal vm's(ubuntu server) and I really don't feel like rebuilding them, there is a bunch | 20:49 |
| jhutchins | !lts | 20:49 |
| ubottu | 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) | 20:49 |
| iknowalittle | OerHeks:(if I don't need to) | 20:49 |
| OerHeks | iknowalittle, support as in update support, this wiki does not mention 12.10-14.04 lts > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 20:50 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: you wouldn't have to rebuild them | 20:50 |
| basichash | jhutchins: for a general system usb, both linux/windows | 20:50 |
| wawowe | jhutchins: this obfuscation could be an easy thing to figure out with ps. but you're right, in a large environment, it's best to stick to standard | 20:50 |

| jhutchins | basichash: You'll want to keep it in whatever format it came with, probably FAT32 or NTFS. | 20:50 |
| iknowalittle | OerHeks: 14.04 isn't out yet, so no upgrades to it are mentioned yet | 20:51 |
| iknowalittle | yeats: I wouldn't have to rebuild them? | 20:51 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: using kvm for virtualizing? | 20:51 |
| wawowe | okee_: anyway, hope that helped | 20:51 |
| webfox | why does normally the server nameserver has the router IP and if I define this IP to be Google DNS it blocks the external communication? | 20:52 |
| iknowalittle | yeats: yes | 20:52 |
| basichash | jhutchins: do you know the command? | 20:53 |
| jpds | webfox: Because your firewall is likely blocking Google's DNS servers? | 20:53 |
| iknowalittle | yeats: that's actually why I'm on an odd distro, I wanted/needed some feature 12.04 didn't have | 20:53 |
| iknowalittle | yeats: I meant version, not distro :) | 20:53 |
| webfox | jpds: ubuntu Client has a firewall? | 20:53 |
| jpds | webfox: No, but your router probably has one. | 20:53 |
| webfox | Ubuntu* | 20:53 |
| jhutchins | basichash: I know several. What format is it now? | 20:53 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: you can use 'virsh dumpxml <domainname>' for each machine, then just back up the images in /var/lib/libvirt/images somewhere along with the xml files | 20:54 |
| webfox | jpds: but it would be only blocking one system. | 20:54 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: then just move the images back into place on the reinstalled server, and do 'virsh define <domainname.xml>' for each machine | 20:54 |

| === michael_ is now known as DoYouKnow | ||
| jhutchins | basichash: I would leave it that way. | 20:55 |
| apatheticshp | yeats is this because it's probabbly an HBA instead of true HW raid? | 20:55 |
| iknowalittle | yeats: Oh ya, that wouldn't be super hard. I have passthrough devices and such that I would have to play with as well. Arrays. All the good stuff(I hate migrating mdadm arrays). That is why an inplace upgrade would be nice. | 20:55 |
| yeats | iknowalittle: ok | 20:55 |
| basichash | jhutchins: ok thanks | 20:56 |
| wawowe | basichash: if you want to format it fat32, mkfs.vfat /dev/"your usb device" | 20:56 |
| jhutchins | basichash: If you need to reformat it for some reason, see man mkfs.msdos | 20:56 |
| webfox | jpds: no, my router firewall is off. | 20:56 |
| genii | wawowe: With -F32 | 20:56 |
| yeats | apatheticshp: if it's not hardware raid, then you should be able to setup md raid | 20:57 |

| === rickyb98 is now known as RickyB98 | ||

| === onca is now known as Guest6389 | ||
| genii | wawowe: It *should* use whatever's appropriate for the media size. But if you specifically want fat32 no matter the media, it's the -F32 to specify | 20:58 |

| tomreyn | okee_: you probably want to run /usr/sbin/dhcpd from the isc-dhcp-server package | 21:24 |
| tomreyn | what are you trying to do anyways? | 21:24 |
| okee_ | <tomreyn> and how to do that ?? | 21:24 |
| GivenToCode | is it possible to write a script in /etc/init.d to start a service in /etc/init? | 21:25 |
| tomreyn | okee_: you install that package, then, in your commandline, replace all occurrences of "dhcpd3" by "/usr/sbin/dhcpd" | 21:25 |
| GivenToCode | basically i am trying to modify an existing /etc/init.d/foo to call 'start my_service' but it appears from syslog my /etc/init.d/foo just keeps getting called over and over again | 21:26 |
| nicferrier | hum. I can even see the dhcp traffic arriving on the interface | 21:26 |
| okee_ | <tomreyn> what package ??? i have already installed it | 21:27 |
| genii | GivenToCode: Although it might be possible there's already a script in /etc/init which calls all the old sysvinit scripts in /etc/init.d | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | okee_: then skip this step and just run the modified command | 21:27 |
| genii | GivenToCode: So what will happen: the /etc/init script you want to run will get run at boot before the sysvinit ones get run from the upstart dir. Then the sysvinit one will get called and run again the script which was already run | 21:29 |
| okee_ | <tomreyn> the command is dhcpd3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid wlan0 so it would be " /usr/sbin/dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid wlan0 ?? right ??? | 21:29 |
| GivenToCode | genii, i dont have my /etc/init script configured to run at boot | 21:30 |

| BlessJah | hi | 22:22 |
| raub | rufsketch1: if you are talking about the ubuntu desktop, it should try to mount it automagically | 22:22 |
| BlessJah | where can i read reliable libreoffice vs openoffice comparision? | 22:23 |
| rufsketch1 | raub, I am not talking about the desktop. | 22:23 |
| BlessJah | or, which one support ms office format better? | 22:23 |
| raub | rufsketch1: I guess it sdepends on what you want to do, but bottom line is if desktop can do, there is nothing stopping you from automounting usb media | 22:24 |
| raub | rufsketch1: I do not know how to enable that in ubuntu off the top of my head, only in Solaris. Which is why I mentioned the desktop as reference (to steal configs from;) | 22:25 |
| Jordan_U | BlessJah: Unfortunately there isn't really any catagory where one is clearly better than the other. | 22:25 |
| Beldar | BlessJah, " where can i read reliable libreoffice vs openoffice comparision?" Not a ubuntu issue, second question to many variables to answer exact. | 22:25 |
| Jordan_U | BlessJah: Libreoffice comes with Ubuntu, so from a support perspective it has that clear advantage. | 22:25 |
| rufsketch1 | raub, I believe the desktop doesn't automagically mount until you actually click on the device | 22:26 |
| BlessJah | Jordan_U: i'm choosing for environment with mix of distros, so it'll be painful sometimes anyway | 22:26 |
| raub | BlessJah: everyone is biased. From what I understood, libreoffice originally came from openoffice because of licensing or copyright issues with oracle | 22:26 |
| raub | kinda like mongodb vs mysql | 22:27 |
| raub | or is it mariadb? | 22:27 |
| BlessJah | all google returns are posts written shortly after LO forked from OO | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | BlessJah: Go with Libreoffice because its website is cooler :) | 22:28 |
| raub | rufsketch1: a quick and dirty solution is to monitor dmesg and then do some mounting | 22:28 |

| Beldar | !nomodeset | Icehawk78 | 22:50 |
| ubottu | Icehawk78: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:50 |

| high_fiver | Jordan_U, does fstrim run periodically | 23:15 |
| Jordan_U | high_fiver: You can use fstrim, and you can also enable trim in the mount options for your filesystem so that newly freed space is immediately trimmed (though that can cause slowdows on some drives that don't implement trim efficiently). | 23:15 |
| Jordan_U | high_fiver: Not automatically, no. You could setup a cron job to run fstrim periodically though. | 23:15 |
| high_fiver | Jordan_U, trimmed when, upon mount? | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | high_fiver: For the mount option, or for the cron job? | 23:17 |
| astropirate | guys | 23:17 |
| high_fiver | Jordan_U, the mount option | 23:18 |

| IdleOne | astropirate: please mind the language | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | high_fiver: For the mount option trim is litterally run every time space is freed, so every time you unlink (rm) a file, or make a large file smaller via truncation. | 23:19 |
| astropirate | IdleOne, which one? | 23:19 |
| IdleOne | astropirate: no swearing please | 23:19 |
| astropirate | ohhh | 23:19 |
| astropirate | ok | 23:19 |
| astropirate | IdleOne, but how do I remove this stupid thing from my firefox? what is ubuntu thinking?? | 23:19 |
| high_fiver | Jordan_U, fstrim + cronjobs every so often seems like a good solution | 23:19 |
| Beldar | astropirate, popups are generally flash, can you be specific on the popups, and there is a a flash block addon called noscript. | 23:20 |
| high_fiver | Jordan_U, dont suppose you can point me to some doc's, i presume this is the same method 14.04 will implement as 'default' | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | astropirate: I don't get any popups when I use Firefox, so this seems to be a problem specific to your machine/configuration. Could you provide a screenshot of this popup so that we can try to determine where it's coming from? | 23:20 |

| === Guest3497 is now known as VoidWhisperer | ||
| Bray90820_ | glitsj16: what i am saying is that there is to much white in that profile and i can't seem to fix it | 23:42 |
| buckeatstoast | Can anyone help me with http://paste.ubuntu.com/6973763/ | 23:42 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820_: without colorimeter it's always going to be an approximation .. have you tried agryll or any other software tool yet? | 23:45 |
| glitsj16 | s/egryll/argyll | 23:45 |
| Bray90820_ | I have not | 23:45 |
| Beldar | buckeatstoast, What is with the 113 not upgraded are these broken, or did you do a partial update? | 23:46 |
| wxl | hey folks. i seem to get to the point where i'm about to get a display manager (i see the mouse pointer) and the screen blanks. repeats over and over. get issues about acpid in syslog. couldn't find useful settings in bios. acpi=off on boot didn't help. i'm thinking i might have a video driver issue. i've got a VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter. i have xserver-xorg-video-sis inst | 23:47 |
| Beldar | buckeatstoast, Run sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and pastebin all of it before running the install with y=yes or n=no | 23:48 |
| Bray90820_ | glitsj16: what i am trying to tell you is that xrandr is not at all what i need | 23:48 |
| Bray90820_ | I need to fix the contrast | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | wxl: If there is any way to replace that SiS card with anything else, do so. | 23:50 |

| high_fiver | can anyone recommend a better power management package to laptop-mode-tools | 23:51 |
| wxl | Jordan_U: i can't entirely say that's useful. would you care to elaborate on your experience and possible solutions assuming it must stay? | 23:52 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820_: i never mentioned xrandr, xcalib is a program to load ICC profiles, dispcalGUI http://dispcalgui.hoech.net/ is a very nice tool but it assumes you have access to a colorimeter iirc, and there's gnome-color-manager to produce an ICC profile | 23:53 |
| z1haze | can someone please help me out? i dont know the proper term for what im trying to do, but i have virtual host files, and im trying to set one of them to work with my servers ip currently, until im ready to switch my domain over | 23:53 |
| Bray90820_ | glitsj16: sotty my mistake | 23:54 |
| cypher-neo | olivier, | 23:54 |
| high_fiver | or just the best (in ur exp) power management tool for laptops | 23:55 |
| z1haze | for a virtual host if i want to use the ip of my server, what do i ender for the Sername and alias? | 23:55 |
| Beldar | high_fiver, Best is an opinion, there is not much really except for on board, and whats in the kernel, battery controls are mostly reverse engineered due to no vendor support in linux. | 23:56 |
| Beldar | high_fiver, the highest use in general I think is the backlight as well. | 23:56 |
| Beldar | depends on what you're doing really for the highset use | 23:57 |
| Beldar | highest* | 23:57 |
| high_fiver | Beldar, ok, cool that does help, i guess its a case of conserving ie lightum | 23:57 |
| Bray90820_ | glitsj16: how would i make the profile active | 23:58 |
| Beldar | high_fiver, It is a tough area, when I have needed to use a battery I just buy one that has the highest use support. | 23:58 |
| z1haze | mmm | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | wxl: My experience is that SiS drivers are orders of magnitude worse than any other drivers I've encountered, I was able to get full resolution on one once because I was lucky enough that my native resolution was avaialble via VESA. No acceleration (2D or 3D). I wouldn't wich my experience on anyone else. | 23:59 |
