[00:03] Bray90820_: lprof or gnome-color-manager can produce such a profile too using GUI, get a few test pattern charts online (lika from http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html, print and test, it can take a while to something you're happy with [00:03] Jordan_U: meh. i see. appreciate the assistance. i'll grab a different card out of the used pile.

[03:34] hetero: technically possible, but unlikely. [03:35] runelind, everything that you can get from "sudo apt-get" are from certain repositories though right? So a random person can't just put up stuff that is installable through "sudo apt-get" [03:36] hetero: the ubuntu repositories are signed by ubuntu devs [03:36] runelind, cool so chances are low, thx!

I have a program not 'installed' but I moved it to '/opt/myprogram'. When I 'cd' to this folder, I can do './sage' to run the program. However, I would like to make it so I can run this program by just doing 'sage' in the terminal. So I tried doing this without success: 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/myprogram'. Doing 'sage' in terminal says it is unrecognized. What am I doing w [04:36] rong? [04:37] so uhh i do not have a mouse cursor visible. [04:38] microracerstella, Have you ever had one, any details leading up to this pertinent? [04:39] i installed ubuntu on this ancient dell desktop, the 12.04 lte version - works great but the mouse cursor is not visible, i have to pretty much guess where the click point is [04:40] microracerstella, It was seen on the live cd/usb? === dearcarr0t is now known as dearcarr0t_ [04:41] um... can't remember... installed it 3 weeks back now...

[04:46] The white balance seems to be way to high when when I use ubuntu with that moniter [04:47] I don't think there are any issues with support files. [04:47] menturi, if you 'cd' to it, you are in that very same directory. Running it from another directory (via links or defining path) is not the same thing. [04:47] No links. [04:48] menturi, is this "sage" file a standalone single file application? [04:49] No it is not. [04:49] Or if anyone can tell me how to turn the white balance down in ubuntu That would work as well [04:50] ty for the suggestion though, possibly an ancient graphics card, possibly an ati graphics issue, have to dig ty for suggestions [04:50] menturi, I'm not very sure that this is indeed the problem, but I know it may be, if the program looks in the 'Current' directory for any other files that it needs to work. [04:51] I don't think the problem is the program; I think the problem is that calling 'sage' (without cding into it) doesn't actually find sage to be called. "No command 'sage' found" === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [04:52] menturi, oh, that you didn't mention earlier. Yes, your guess is correct then [04:52] varunendra, I think menturi is onto something here, you have to be in the proper directory [04:52] how come chrome doesn't have a menubar? [04:53] varunendra, add a cd to the beginning of your alias [04:53] Hey guys. So im relatively new to ubuntu but well experienced with linux (gentoo). My question is simple: when i do a dplg --get-selections some packages are listed as "deinstalled" . Can someone help explain this to me, I know it means it is marked for deinstallation, and the "dselect-upgrade" argument will get rif of them. But how exactly did they become slected for deinstall in the first place (most things i remove seem to get removed at the [04:53] he command and autoremove doesnt seem to remove things set as deinstall) [04:53] so basically what should i do about these "deinstall" packages [04:53] EITsLocks, it is menturi who has the problem :) [04:53] For some reason with the monitor i am using has really high white balance when using it with ubuntu === Voronsky is now known as Voronsky|zzz [04:54] tty1, you need to do a purge [04:54] varunendra, yes sorry got my wires crossed there [04:54] is there a way to determine the video card type without pulling the hood off and reading the stamp? [04:54] Adding the path to $PATH seemed to not make it so I can do simply 'sage' from anywhere (I used to be able to so I know it is possible :P) without needing to cd into it. Like a CLI program that is installed with a .deb -- I don't need to cd to the executable to be able to run it usually :P [04:54] EITsLocks, but the error message ("No command 'sage' found") indicates the possibility of a different problem [04:54] EITsLocks, just a "apt-get purge" ? [04:55] menturi, was the path accepted? Check "echo $PATH" [04:55] EITsLocks, now i know apt-get remove --purge will wipe the config files along with the binaries.. so when you say do a purge are you suggesting that the "deinstall" packages are packages that were uninstalled previously but their config files were left behind? [04:55] microracerstella, Try lspci in the terminal [04:55] tty1: I use sudo dpkg --purge [04:56] tty1, correct [04:56] EITsLocks, well there are a good 30 packages listed as deinstall, any easy way to get them all? [04:56] Oh O.o I thought it was but it appears it is not now. I since logged out and back in which may have cleared it back to the way it was (maybe? :P). I'll try to re-add it and see what happens. [04:57] menturi, :P [04:57] menturi, add it to your .bashrc if you need to make it permanent [04:57] Where would that be located? [04:57] menturi, in your home, a hidden file due to the leading dot (.) [04:58] tty1, these are my two commands dpkg --get-selections > /home/EITsLocks/Documents/installed.txt then sudo dpkg --purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep | cut -f1` [04:58] Geforce2 nvidia vga controller... they have a linux support? [04:58] menturi, if you are doing this the first time, I strongly recommend to back up the original file first (gedit will automatically do it if you are using it for editing) [04:58] EITsLocks, cool thanks [04:59] I'll definitely make a backup of the file :) [05:00] I'm confused; is $PATH on a per-terminal basis? Donig `echo $PATH` in two different terminals resulted in two different results. [05:01] menturi, a terminal that was open BEFORE making the changes will not experience the change. Those opened AFTER it will [05:03] menturi, also, if you are doing it temporarily (like "export PATH=...") then the change will be effective in the current terminal only. === sergio is now known as Guest14154 [05:03] Okay I think that was my issue when testing -- I was using terminals opened before the change when trying it out :P. Also the auto-reset. Modifying PATH seems to work. I'll test out my changes to .bashrc soon :). [05:03] Thank you for your input.

[05:29] ripthejacker, Sounds like you can set it up but the phone does not see it right? [05:30] ripthejacker, Can't you just use the wifi signal, or is this for when you're away from it.

[05:32] Beldar: for 2nd question, I don't have a wifi connection, I have a cable broadband that I use for my PC. [05:33] Beldar: yes I know , what I'm implying is that the device and my phone works fine. [05:34] ripthejacker, Sounds like the problem is the phone, and ubuntu is working correctly. If it were me I would be looking for info on the phone. works fine is not a cause and effect in linux so not relevant, nor does it mean it will work in linux. [05:34] Bray90820: nothing, I was writing cable and it got mistyped to bale, but if your monitor is working fine with windows then cable is fine, maybe your live ubuntu disk is not properly prepared [05:34] HDMI [05:35] probably will some way, but not helpful info is all [05:35] Bray90820: whats the make and model of your monitor ?

[10:25] Looking for assistance to build xorg.conf file for a dual adapter, 5 monitor configuration [10:26] When I restart my pc stays in a black screen with the cursor flashing on the upper left corner. [10:26] XHeart: Then use the nomodeset kernel option. [10:26] !nomodeset | XHeart [10:26] XHeart: 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 [10:32] is there a pv alternative that plots or exports a graph of transfer speed as a function of time? [10:32] Whats a "pv alternative"? === Administrator__ is now known as dinogreen_rex [10:33] bekks I am testing my HDD's, I have a very unstable transfer rate on my NAS box. Both networking and NAS SSD drive -> NAS HDD drive. [10:35] wiebels: Then you have to get those tranfer rates first. Most likely, the transfer rate of the network is totally unrelated to the disk speed. Totally unrelated. [10:35] And if you are pulling data from your NAS and pushing it back to the NAS, you will get half the speed thats possible. [10:36] bekks I have a gigabit network, speed fluctuates between 100mbps and 1mbps on the ~5 second scale [10:37] bekks however even when copying a file from the NAS SSD to the NAS Raid HDD the speed fluctuates with a similar pattern. [10:37] bekks and thats a copy through a terminal instance [10:37] wiebels: Thats not related to the disk speed then, but to the speed your NAS deals with the data after reading it/before writing it from/to the NAS. [10:38] wiebels: And your setup "reading from the same network device where I am writing the data to" is the worst test method possible. [10:38] bekks it does allow me to drop network related issues [10:38] wiebels: you cannot distinguish where's the bottleneck at all: the NAS, the network, your computer. Or a single component of the named three. [10:39] wiebels: It does not allow you to drop network related issues, it doubles network related issues. [10:39] bekks how am I using my network when copying from the NAS HDD to the NAS SSD though a terminal instance? [10:40] wiebels: So are you logged into yo NAS using SSH? [10:40] bekks yes, correct [10:40] Thats the important information missing :) [10:40] And how do you measure the transfer speed? [10:40] Did you use bonnie++, vmstat, sar, iostat to investigate the issue further? [10:41] bekks I can SSH, SFTP, FTP and it has a SAMBA share. I used pv through SSH to check transfer rate [10:41] pv is unreliable, totally. [10:41] bekks in addition I used dd however dd only returns average speed [10:41] bekks will try bonnie++ [10:41] dd without a sane blocksize is misleading. [10:42] bekks I was writing a 10Gb testfile from Raid HDD to SSD [10:57] how can I check the mail server that is running ? [11:01] bekks bonnie++ doesn't show any odd results on first sight; it also does not present transfer speed as a function of time === mike is now known as mike__ === mike__ is now known as mike___ === mike___ is now known as mike__ [11:09] hi friends, today I installed tmux in ubuntu with shell ZSH but when i use tmux (tmux-2 ) the its rendering behaviour is very different when i user backspace the words are overlapping how to fix it ? === GTB3NW_AWAY is now known as GTB3NW [11:16] Hi all [11:17] My machine is crashing too often (i/o error dev sda) - ran smartmontools test - got these results http://www.pastebin.ca/2645199 - could someone help interpret this for me [11:19] My machine is crashing too often (i/o error dev sda) - ran smartmontools test - got these results http://www.pastebin.ca/2645199 - could someone help interpret this for me [11:20] hello, i have tried both jdk6 and jdk7 but the java gui is unresponsive in programs (that blue themed gui), does anybody know the problem?

[12:40] chro: what do you mean? From ss output? Just look at what's listening on your desired ports ()it depends on what you call mail service...)

[12:42] If it's another port, you can't tell. [12:42] lsof won't show it as well. [12:43] So you just have to guess and check every option (by looking at the process list, not config files, as they can be just remaining after unclean uninstall). [12:44] hi [12:44] ernetas, try " sudo dpkg --configure -a --force-depends " might solve it [12:44] ansel, greetings [12:44] what [12:45] how are u all ?

[18:18] Dalvikin: /join #ubuntu-touch [18:18] they are working on the phone version [18:18] Closing Link: 75-135-156-3.dhcp.aldl.mi.charter.com (Sorry, server is full - try later) [18:18] wow [18:18] terrasapien: because raring is end-of-life [18:18] never seen freenode get full [18:19] rimd2r___: Raring is 13.04 - which is EOL for weeks now. [18:19] glitsj16, that makes sense, thanks === mike_ is now known as Guest89652 [18:19] less than a year and discontinued [18:20] and 13.10 won't install [18:20] terrasapien: Nine months. [18:20] time to find a new distro [18:20] terrasapien: If you issue: ubuntu-support-status ..it will tell you [18:20] terrasapien: And what does "wont install" mean, exactly? [18:22] hi folks > I have a 1 TB HDD on a laptop .....partition 1 boot=primary / partition 2 = extended ( swap + ubuntu ) / partition 3 primary for storage / free space 300 GB - I want to create a logical partition on those 300 GB but the only option into GPARTED is PRIMARY - can you help pls ??? [18:22] Whats the shortcut to hide all windos? [18:23] parapan_: you already have an extended partition, you cannot have 2. so the only possible partition type left is primary (the 4th) [18:24] parapan_: remove your 3rd partition, extend the extended to the end of the drive and re-create logical drives in it [18:24] Of course you can have up to 4 extended partitions on a MBR labeled disk. [18:24] And each extended partition may contain up to 16 logical partitions. [18:25] bekks: uhm, no. Even wiki says so : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended_partition [18:25] bekks: nonsense [18:25] Then wiki is wrong. [18:25] bekks: clearly not [18:25] llutz: ok, but if I make the 4th partition primary , can I create a new logical partition inside it ? [18:25] llutz: Then explain how I was able to build 4 extended partitions using MBR i the past? [18:26] greetings earthlings. I have one cron job set and want to create another - do I do this in the same cron file or do I create another one?? [18:26] bekks: because you ignored windows compatibility [18:26] llutz: the reason below is: 1/2/3 partitions for work and on the 4th partitions I want to install 2-3 other testing OS's . . . [18:27] faugusztin_: Which doesnt mean "it isnt possible". [18:27] Also, is there a live version of Ubuntu I can run off a usb stick and be able to update/save etc. changes? I assume if I install the OS to the flash drive it will boot and run normally - or am I wrong? [18:28] parapan_: no you can't. only extended partitions can hold logical drives [18:29] And LVM volume groups. [18:29] llutz: so I can basically have 3 primary partitions and an extended one - correct ?? [18:30] parapan_: that's what the MBR-definition allows, yes [18:31] * ratdog slaps FiremanEd around a bit with a large trout ... [18:31] llutz: sp that's why the peoples invented virtual machines :d [18:32] is the cube thing only kde? [18:32] parapan_: and gpt [18:33] dougl: Which "cube thing"? [18:33] desktop cube bekks sorry [18:34] kde is now picked up funding from LinuxMint sine ubutu dropped kde funding [18:34] :) [18:35] The desktop cube is a CCSM thing originally - they just ported it, it has nothing to do with funding. [18:35] ratdog: Mostly Kubuntu is being supported now by Blue systems [18:36] mint will go with wayland insted of mir [18:36] :) [18:36] bekks - right ... I was wondering if I could change the end pics on the cube [18:36] dougl: the compiz cube effect isn't a kde-only thing no --> http://ubuntuguide.net/enable-desktop-cube-effect-ubuntu-13-10 if you want to try it [18:36] Hi all [18:36] genii mint blog also says mint is funding [18:37] ratdog, keep this channel free for support, join #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat [18:37] glitsj16, thanks for the info :) [18:37] ratdog: And Canonical dropped funding for Kubuntu back in 2012. [18:37] yep [18:37] ratdog: So your comments are not even offtopic, but even outdated. === TheSojourner is now known as mjulian [18:38] and xorg's new wayland [18:38] bad [18:38] ratdog: Can you please take the chit chat to some offtopic channel? [18:38] intel dropped all support for mir [18:38] ok [18:39] ratdog: #ubuntu-offtopic or #kubuntu-offtopic are probably better channels for this discussion [18:39] or a mint channel? [18:39] Possibly. [18:41] llutz: thanks chief ..I'll see what I can manage .... [18:41] ratdog, === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [18:42] FiremanEd, === ogra_ is now known as ogra [18:47] hello [18:49] I have a question considering the package manager from ubuntu [18:49] !question [18:49] errr [18:49] Kuro-Maii, just ask [18:50] is it possible to replace it with a yum ( -like ) manager? [18:50] is there a live version of Ubuntu I can run off a usb stick and be able to update/save etc. changes? I assume if I install the OS to the flash drive it will boot and run normally - or am I wrong? [18:50] Kuro-Maii, what is it [18:50] "it" [18:51] yum is the package manager from fedora [18:51] bekks, will simply putting the files insite /home/user/public_html be a risk ? [18:51] gmachine_24: yes, you can do a regular install to a USB. [18:51] Kuro-Maii: you can't, yum is for rpm-based distros [18:51] llutz: i'm wondering what they mean by yum-like? [18:52] and I find it to be a lot more readable than the output from apt-get or aptitude [18:52] zykotick9: thanks. [18:52] neta: Depends on your configuration. [18:52] zykotick9: idk, same syntax/options maybe [18:52] Kuro-Maii - I believe yum is meant for rpm packages only [18:52] But I could be wrong [18:53] Kuro-Maii: There is no yum for non-rpm based linux distributions. [18:53] llutz, gmachine_24, I know that is why I added the ( -like ) part [18:53] Kuro-Maii, have you tried synaptic? [18:53] Kuro-Maii: It is a gui [18:53] Kuro-Maii: and what does "-like" mean for you? use apt-get/aptitude if you want a cli-tool [18:53] gmachine_24: synaptic is totally different from yum :) [18:54] bekks, yes, I know. But he complained about the output so I thought synaptic might be easier for him/her. [18:54] and it's different than, not different from. :-) [18:54] bekks mind giving another clue to what i should look for? [18:55] neta: I dont know what you are looking for. [18:55] hello guys [18:55] what I mean with "-like" is that the cli output of yum can be done with a different package manager [18:55] neta: You are still not precise enough in asking your questions for anyone being able to give you an useful answer. [18:55] shadej, just please ask your question [18:56] is it possible to coerce ubuntu to accept short passwords? [18:56] and I prefer a cli over a gui [18:56] yea that's true still not enough knowladge to pinpoint my question sorry about that [18:56] gmachine_24: greetings first [18:56] well for now i guess i will have my site at /home/user/public_html and hope for the best [18:57] neta: Why not editing the files on the server but using stuff like phpstorm? [18:57] i only have remote access to the server and using vi or nano to edit files is hell [18:58] I have one cron job set and want to create another - do I do this in the same cron file or do I create another one?? [18:58] Hello everyone. I have added 2 hard drives to a vm, but mdadm tells me it cannot use them because device or resource is busy. Reboot didn't help. [18:58] hey all, hows it going? [18:58] gmachine_24: users crontab? just add it to the same file [18:58] bs0d: How did you add them to which vm (which hypervisor)? [18:59] how do i do syntax highlighting with pastebinit? [18:59] does anyone here have any experience with home switches? [18:59] bekk sorry misclicked [19:00] "pastebinit someCfile.c -f C" ? or something else? === VoidWhisperer is now known as Guest61848 [19:00] neta: probably worth learning vi anyway, but you can also set up nautilus to access the server and copy files over from your desktop that way [19:00] so to restate my question: does any one know of a way to get yum-like output with deb based systems? [19:00] llutz: yes, user crontab. I thought I should just add another line (job) to the file but I wasn't sure...... === Guest61848 is now known as VoidWhisperer [19:00] Kuro-Maii, I'm not that familiar with yum-like output. === varunendra is now known as Guest69804 [19:01] yeats will nautilus copy into /var/www/... folder ? [19:01] bekks I use vmware workstation. I created 2 SCSI hard drives and ubuntu sees them as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb [19:02] bs0d: So both host and guest OS are Ubuntu? [19:02] gmachine_24: just "crontab -e", add your jobs, line by line, done [19:02] llutz: got it, thanks. :-0 [19:02] bekks host is WIndows 8, guest is Ubuntu LTS 12.04 [19:02] neta: sure - just click "Connect to Server" in nautilus and enter ssh://user@host and you're there [19:03] bs0d: And whats the actual issue when doing what exactly in your VM? [19:03] gmachine_24, it is formatted to be human readable instead of a barf of what it is going to install [19:03] how to allow ubuntu to accept shorter passwords? [19:03] bekks let me pastebin the output [19:03] checking [19:03] gmachine_24, and it tells you from where a package will come [19:04] neta: use sudo cp -- do not use nautilus. [19:04] but that is MHO [19:04] Kuro-Maii: well, it seems the answer is no. [19:04] bekks http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?h0wduqc9wczx [19:05] bs0d: Then check whats using sdb and sdc in your vm. [19:05] gmachine_24, it seems so :( [19:06] shadej: read "man pam_unix" but it's not a good idea to allow it [19:06] bekks is there any command for this check? [19:06] bekks they are empty drives (no FS on them), they are not supposed to be used at all [19:07] bs0d: fuser, lsof, mount - and zillion of other possibilities to use a drive. [19:07] anyone know how to get syntax highlighting working with pastebinit? [19:07] sakter12: are you aware of a paste site that supports syntax highlighting? i've never seen it... [19:08] I do find it weird that everyone finds the way apt and aptitude present the output acceptable/readable..... [19:08] or at least it seems so [19:08] zykotick9: sakter12: gist.github.com [19:08] * zykotick9 has no issues with apt-get or aptitudes output... [19:08] bekks: github.com figures... thanks BTW. [19:08] zykotick9, seriously? pastebin.com?! you just select the language, but i want to know hwo with pastebinit and cli [19:09] yeats its a linux app, i am using windows, i will look for something alternative [19:09] sakter12: Look at the -f option of pastebinit. [19:10] bekks, right, and "pastebinit some.c -f C" doesn't work is it like "-f:C"? [19:10] Kuro-Maii: can you pastebin some examples from yum/aptitude to compare and comment what annoys you whith it? [19:10] sakter12: -fC [19:11] !pastbin [19:11] !pastebin [19:11] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [19:11] bekks, -fC doesn't work http://paste.ubuntu.com/6977823/ [19:12] sakter12: Try -f C [19:13] hi all, have some problem: vpn (with openvpn) is normally working with network manager, but these exported config started from console is not. syslog says: /sys/devices/virtual/net/tun0: couldn't determine device driver; ignoring... The askubuntu issue is to backup libgcrypt11 to older version (http://goo.gl/cVYhp6). I've made sudo dpkg -P --force-all libgcrypt11, then make install offered version from sources. Then dependencies are not seeing these [19:13] lib and asking for it, vpn problem is still not solved. What am I doing wrong? [19:13] bekks, i've tried that too. and my C file is indeed recognizably a C file right? this is so odd. going to try with python [19:13] sakter12: Did you try using another pastebin service? [19:14] bekks, oh like paste.ubuntu may not support syntax highlighting? [19:15] no i have not [19:16] so by default "pastebinit somefile.c" uses paste.ubuntu by default, how do i use there other ones? i can see a bunch with "pastebinit -l" [19:17] sakter12: -b sakter12: -b [19:17] bekks I managed to create a raid array. It released the drives on its own .. just one moment command mdadm succeeded [19:18] anyone knows of a package or something that will push everything i have from one folder to another ? [19:18] bekks thank you for help. Do you accidently know if I need to partition the raid array /dev/md0 or the underlying drives? [19:18] llutz, this it yum: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6977867/ [19:18] in what format? "pastebinit p-ls.py -b slexy.org -python" [19:19] llutz, this is apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6977847/ [19:19] neta mv one_folder another_folder [19:19] bs0d: Yes I do know that - no you dont have to. [19:19] Kuro-Maii: read the man page. [19:19] bs0d yea thanks [19:19] Kuro-Maii: oops sorry wrong nick [19:19] sakter12: read the man page [19:19] llutz, I find it self explanatory [19:20] daftykins, is okay [19:20] Kuro-Maii: i see what you mean.. :D [19:20] bekks, thanks very much for you help. [19:20] bekks I am slighly confused what to partition now .. underlying disks? [19:20] llutz, Thanks ^.^ [19:20] daftykins, yknow the man page hasn't been too helpful [19:20] bs0d: /dev/md0 if you like to. You dont need to partition your RAID. [19:20] bs0d: Most likely, you want to use /dev/md0 as physical volume for a LVM volume group. [19:21] llutz, and that is why I would like that output style [19:21] bekks is it possible to partition it (not using LVM), create filesystems there and mount them? [19:21] is there a way to make dolphin the default file manager in gnome? [19:22] bekks I tried cfdisk /dev/md0 but I get error that cfdisk could not open /dev/md0 drive. But I can cfdisk /dev/sdb for instance [19:22] Kuro-Maii: file a feature request to the apt/aptitude authors, maybe they have time and see some advantages in this [19:23] also see* [19:23] bs0d: You have to partition the underlying devices, build several mdX, and use mkfs on the mdX. [19:23] llutz, good call.... how would one do that... [19:23] "pastebinit -b cxg.de p-ls.py " also doesn't work. [19:24] Kuro-Maii: apt: maintainer: APT Development Team [19:24] Kuro-Maii: aptitude: Aptitude Development Team [19:25] bekks Oh I see .. in this case this would be the partition-based RAID .. I have read about it in man page [19:25] bs0d: Yes. [19:25] "read the man page" lol [19:26] Kuro-Maii: subscribe the list, ask away https://lists.debian.org/deity/ http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel [19:27] llutz, thanks I will subscribe to those [19:27] Kuro-Maii: good luck [19:27] is it possible to create a little file that would perform certain tasks ? if so what file type it has to be and how do you execute it afterward through ssh [19:27] sakter12, i found some examples on this page > http://mewbies.com/pastebinit_how_to_pastebin_commnad_line_output_from_terminal_to_pastebin.htm >> cat my.pl | pastebinit -f perl -a test -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:27] llutz, I hope it will be of use [19:28] llutz, thanks ^.^ [19:29] neta: Those files are called "scripts", and you have to write them. [19:29] OerHeks, thank you. [19:29] i assume they are written in bash ? [19:30] neta: They are written for the shell you want them to use. [19:30] alrighty [19:32] llutz: sorry to bother you again ...I deleted partition 4 - now it's free space .....but inside the logical partition, I cannot create a new partition . . .. [19:32] parapan: it's extended partition you want to make as the 4th, then inside that create as many logical as you want... [19:32] "pastebinit -i pythonProg.py -b http://pastebin.com -f python" Ok so for anyone interested this works and from the commandline you can get syntax highlighted pastebinning. [19:33] might as well alias pastebinit to "pastebinit -i" [19:33] Hi everyone, does somebody have experience with optimus graphics? [19:34] !optimus [19:34] The Bumblebee Project aims to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux. The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ [19:34] zykotick9: so the logical must be the last primary partition ? [19:34] zykotick9: the 4th one ? [19:34] My computer is stuck in 600x480 I tried everyting :'( [19:35] parapan: i'm assuming you have 3 primary partitions currently (you can only have 4 paritions on MSDOS partition tables) - the work around is using an extended partition, which can hold many logical partitions... [19:36] And I installed bumblebee with no effect :( [19:36] OerHeks, thanks again [19:37] noone can help? :( [19:37] parapan: fyi, gpt partition takes don't have this limitation, and you can have as many primary partitions as you want... [19:37] s/takes/tables/ [19:37] zykotick9: what i have now is : 1-primary = boot / 2 = logical ubntu swap and / / 3 - primary partition for storage / 4 free space . . . . . [19:37] zykotick9: for gpt I have to format the complete drive I guess .. it's not an option now [19:38] parapan: how can 2 be a logical? that would bean you're already using your only available extended (you can only have 1 extended!) [19:38] zykotick9: even with this setup cannot create another partition on the logical partition 2 - why is that ? [19:38] s/bean/mean/ [19:39] parapan: because it's size is already maxed out! [19:39] sakter12, have fun [19:39] OerHeks, the "... -b http://" is not required at the end of that command you posted [19:39] OerHeks, for me at least, it works with out that. [19:39] Please can someone help? I installed nvidia drivers and bumblebee and my computer is stuck in 600x480 resolution :/ [19:39] zykotick9: but i cannot shrink-it ... i can't do anything on it . . . [19:41] parapan: i'm not surprised TBO... i don't know how you fix this - it's kinda a "mess"... you can only have 1 extended partition - and you have that on the wrong one right now (2 only)... [19:42] Please can someone help? I installed nvidia drivers and bumblebee and my computer is stuck in 600x480 resolution :/ I have opimus technology with a GT740M and an intel chipset... [19:42] parapan: i'd guess you could create another primary (with the current layout/free space) but i don't think that will help you... cause it's only 1 partition :( [19:43] zykotick9: so basically I have to delete partition 3 .......resize the extended one to the HDD max , and it will let me resize or create another partitions inside ...correct ???? or I should have 1-primary / 2 primary / 3 primary 4th - extended till the end of the drive .... [19:43] parapan: regarding gpt, i wouldn't recommend attempting to switch your current! too complicated, dangerous! [19:44] zykotick9: gpt it'a not an option now [19:44] right [19:44] grrrrr [19:45] Please can someone help? I installed nvidia drivers and bumblebee and my computer is stuck in 600x480 resolution :/ I have optimus technology with a GT740M and an intel chipset... [19:45] parapan: so, ideally you would have 3 primary and 1 extended. inside the extended you can create as many paritions as you want - SO, it should probably take up the most space on the drive/partition-layout. [19:47] for linux-systems it's imo easier just to have one extended partition over the full drive, holding the logicals one needs (or to use lvm) [19:47] s/as many/up to 15/ [19:47] llutz: i'd agree! BUT that's assuming linux-systems - AND a fresh install! but i agree 100% -- gpt is better even ;) [19:48] zykotick9: but the position is anyway wrong . . . ..do you think I can try .....to have 1 primary / 2 logical to complete HDD, then shrink the logical to put free space between part 1 and logical ...then create a primary on that space ??? [19:49] parapan: i'm very sorry - but i can't help you further (i wouldn't touch it with a 30 foot pole at this point!). i'm sorry, BEST of luck. i hope you at least got some understanding from what i've said -- 'cause i can't help futher... [19:51] zykotick9: no problem, thanks alot bro' I'll manage some way [19:51] * zykotick9 doesn't trust parition resizing/moving at all... (i'll sooner slash-n-burn restart, then try moving partitions around) if at all possible be sure you have backups! === Cyrus is now known as Guest4169 === parapan is now known as 43UAAKL97 === ldann_ is now known as ldann === olivier__ is now known as 14WAB7YGZ [19:53] fala chacal === max is now known as Guest16965 === IdleOne is now known as Guest87974 === McLive_ is now known as McLive [19:54] xxxxx [19:54] xxxxxxx [19:54] xxxxxxxx [19:54] x [19:54] stop that. === Guest87974 is now known as io === JoFo is now known as Guest34490 === duncannz is now known as Guest10551 === io is now known as Guest52137 [19:55] Hi, I got a Hp pavilion g6 2320 tx lap with a ATI radeon 7670m HD graphic card [19:56] can anyone please suggest me one particular linux distro for my laptop? === Guest52137 is now known as io [19:56] Anyone know why no matter what PC I try my ubuntu USB it just goes to a black cursor, I haven't even been able to install it yet, no splash screen, nothing.

[20:02] Anupkumar: if afterwards, you can just install backported kernel update, and hopefully that would solve this issue (if it's just kernel version related) [20:02] zykotick9: do u mean that I am supposed to install the drivers separately after wards? === FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold [20:02] Anupkumar: s/drivers/kernel/ then yes ;) [20:03] zykotick9: so it is better to install 12.04? [20:03] Anupkumar: If you have to ask that question, the answer is "yes". [20:03] every time I return from suspend I have to run xmodmap .Xmodmap to key my keyboard mapping back. It is pretty annoying. Also, .xprofile doesn't seem to get called when logging in. [20:03] Anupkumar: if that's what you want! it's LTS, which means by default it comes with an old kernel. but by using backports you can update the kernel (which includes 99% of all drivers). [20:04] zykotick9, 12.04.4 has the same kernel as 13.10 [20:04] zykotick9: one more thing I want to clarify.....I am unable to install the ATI radeon 7670m HD graphic driver in 13.10, Can I know the reason y? [20:04] zykotick9: in that case how can I install it? === whoever_ is now known as whoever [20:04] kostkon: No. But the lts enablement stack ships the same kernel. === ldann is now known as dunnopia [20:05] kostkon: i dunno, does it? i'm guessing you updates and or backports will have something recent (but it's a "bit" of an assumption ;) [20:06] bekks: Same issue, black flashing cursor straight away :( [20:06] Anupkumar: sorry ATI is another "no-no" issue for me. i don't know a thing about ati/amd graphics cards... so i can't help. [20:06] cuddylier: when doing what exactly? [20:06] When selecting my USB as the boot device [20:06] On any of my PCs [20:06] Shows the white flashing cursor in top left of screen [20:06] Straight away [20:06] cuddylier: With which Ubuntu version to be installed? [20:06] Nothing else [20:06] I've tried 10.10, 12.10 and 13.10 [20:06] cuddylier: Dont press enter that often. [20:06] hi all need some help to return from paintComponent(Graphics g). I am tring to return the painted g as bufferedimage and it is comming back as null or 0 height 0 width, [20:06] And then your iso [20:07] cuddylier: Use 12.04 [20:07] <43UAAKL97> ? [20:07] !md5sum [20:07] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:07] bekks: do u have any idea about ati radeon graphic cards? [20:07] cuddylier: From the medium I gave you the link for. [20:07] every time I return from suspend I have to run xmodmap .Xmodmap to get my keyboard mapping back. It is pretty annoying. Also, .xprofile doesn't seem to get called when logging in. [20:07] bekks: I already tried the iso you gave me [20:07] is there a more efficint way to do this, that have to run a second thread to chech state of the bufferedImage [20:07] cuddylier: you didnt. you just said. [20:07] bekks: And I tried 12.04 previously directly from the ubuntu website [20:07] Anupkumar: Not even heavy weapon fire will make me use ATI/AMD. :) [20:07] I've tried, 10.10, 12.04, 12.10, 13.10 and yours [20:08] All exactly the same issue [20:08] And I've tried different USB boot creator software [20:08] cuddylier: Thats why I gave you a link to the alternate installer which you did not try. [20:08] \the only thing that I can think of is th6at i am calling for buffered image befor it has anything to return === arrenlex1 is now known as arrenlex [20:08] bekks: I installed that ISO you gave me on my USB stick [20:08] cuddylier: assuming your boot selection (at bios for the usb) IS correct. and you're still getting a flashing cursuor -- i have one machine that can't boot modern debian or ubuntu install media (cdrom or usb!) BUT using unetbootin to create the USB works!!! (note - i don't like unetbootin AT ALL for all other things - but for this one machine i have, IT WORKS) === varunendra is now known as Guest9387 [20:09] cuddylier: you downloaded it, copied it to your USB, and tried to install it - within 6 minutes? I strongly doubt that. [20:09] bekks: I have 126Mb/s download speed [20:09] bekks: what do u mean by that? === VoidWhisperer is now known as Guest47876 [20:09] Download took me 2-3 mins then install took another 2-3 mins [20:09] Anupkumar: "No, I will never use AMD/ATI". :) [20:09] bekks: got it === IdleOne- is now known as IdleOne [20:10] every time I return from suspend I have to run xmodmap .Xmodmap to get my keyboard mapping back. It is pretty annoying. Also, .xprofile doesn't seem to get called when logging in. [20:10] bekks: can you suggest me any one who is good at ATI/AMD [20:10] CHMOD+0 [20:10] Anupkumar: No. Just ask a specific question, and not some "does anybody..." - and chances are good that someone will answer. [20:10] EAI GENTE LOKA [20:10] bekks: That's how I downloaded it so quickly: Anupkumar: "No, I will never use AMD/ATI". :) [20:10] bekks: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3325003822 [20:11] I AM FROM BRAZIL ,CRAZY [20:11] CHAKAL82: And you keyboard is heavy broken. [20:11] NMAP -A [20:11] cuddylier: that is amazing!!!!! [20:11] zykotick9 I've tried using unetbootin but it doesn't show my USB up for some reason even when I've tried formatting it to fat32, any ideas? [20:12] * Anupkumar hope I had the same internet speeds here also [20:12] cuddylier: it has to be mounted as well [20:13] cuddylier: i really do hate unetbootin so i don't actually know it very well, it's causes a lot more problems tehn it solves IMO... === GeertJohan_ is now known as GeertJohan [20:14] HOW DO YOU DO ? [20:14] cuddylier, now I know that if I move to Glasgow the internet is good. [20:14] CHAKAL82: We can read lowercase too. [20:14] SKY IN THE RAIN [20:14] Spains internet speeds suck! [20:14] lvleph: I live in Northern Ireland but my speed test uses the glasgow server [20:14] CHAKAL82: Ignore set. [20:14] LAZY SO [20:15] every time I return from suspend I have to run xmodmap .Xmodmap to get my keyboard mapping back. It is pretty annoying. Also, .xprofile doesn't seem to get called when logging in. [20:15] CHAKAL82: This is a support channel, do you have any support questions? [20:15] zykotick9: This is what I've got so far: http://puu.sh/76rAX.png except the dropdown for 'drive' shows nothing at all, my USB shows in 'computer'. [20:15] zykotick9: can you give me the sources list of the backports? [20:15] hey guys, i was trying to make a reverse polish calculator in c with command line arguments and I had some problem with * operation. After I debugged the probgram i relized that the operator * should be passed as \* and a call like this calc 3 3 * is equal to calc 3 3 . Is this a bug or this is the normal behaviour of the *? [20:15] !backports | Anupkumar [20:15] Anupkumar: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [20:16] Anupkumar: you are better of using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack when running 12.04 [20:16] nutzz: it's normal. your shell expands it before passing it to your calculator. [20:16] thanks [20:17] i don't know if i'm in the right place but i have a problem about nvidia drivers [20:17] nutzz: you could try using x instead. === ComradeH1z` is now known as ComradeHaz` [20:17] cuddylier: try "sudo mount /dev/sdX# /mnt" then restart unetbootin. you need to replace X# with the real one, sdb1 type thing [20:17] i tried many different methods but none of them worked [20:17] zykotick9 I opened UNetbootin on windows so can't use ubuntu commands [20:17] LazyLucretia: So do you run Ubuntu? [20:17] xauth: this is a good idea, thanks [20:17] zykotick9 I can browse the files on it and it has a single fat32 partion [20:18] yes [20:18] cuddylier: pufff. if you're on windows i've got NO clue. good luck... [20:18] Hi, How can i hide my ip in the chat application? [20:18] :( [20:18] nutzz: or even better, accept both. [20:18] LazyLucretia: And which version of Ubuntu? And which nvidia graphics hardware do you have? [20:18] zykotick9 Any other suggestions for boot programs? [20:18] Anupkumar: re:sources.list no i can't... check the backports webpage or something... good luck. [20:18] 13.10 gt740 [20:18] Or what I could be doing wrong [20:19] the problem is i have two graphic cards [20:19] LazyLucretia: gt740 or gt740m? [20:19] intel hd 4000 and gt 740 m [20:19] i tried the bumblebee method [20:20] but when i tried optirun it gave me an error [20:20] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. [20:21] LazyLucretia: So you have an Nvidia Optimus chipset. [20:21] i tried to edit xorg.config.nvidia [20:21] LazyLucretia: you have to use nvidia-prime then. [20:21] Anyone any other ideas on how I can install Ubuntu on a USB stick without a black cursor showing? [20:21] but nothing worked [20:21] okay [20:22] how can i use nvidia-prime? [20:23] LazyLucretia: Uninstall every other nvidia driver you might have installed, and install nvidia-prime [20:23] LazyLucretia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics [20:23] cuddylier go to ubuntu.com [20:23] they will show you how to do it [20:23] thats how i got my ubuntu [20:23] bshuta: I've read every article under the sun [20:24] Resulting in the same issue of a black flashing cursor and not even any menu to change the boot settings for Ubuntu. [20:24] ok i will try this [20:24] thanks a lot! [20:24] cuddylier whats your current os? [20:25] cuddylier go to this link [20:25] bshuta: I am install Ubuntu on a USB/External Hard Drive, the main computer's OS is installed on its own Hard Drive which is windows [20:25] I am installing* [20:25] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [20:26] rsync is what i am looking its seems ! [20:26] go to that link and under windows click on the create a bootable usb drive [20:27] i would have my content in /var/www/whatever. and have my phpstorm update stuff in /home/user/public_html/whatever. and then i will use rsync to sync from public_html to www [20:27] bekk does that sound like a good idea ? [20:27] neta i use rsync and grsync as a gui [20:27] can u use anything gui in putty ? [20:28] i mean i am on windows working though putty i dont know what is/isnt possible as i am new to this whole thing [20:30] neta you can use X tunelling to Xming on the windows side... most X apps work fine. [20:32] cuddylier did that help at all? [20:33] no i didnt quit [20:33] <77CABK8K3> Hello [20:34] neta: Need to make sure that: X11Forwarding yes ..is set in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on server. then have an X server on Windows like Xming. Then connect with the -X switch. After that you can run an X app from commandline on putty and the window will open on your Windows machine [20:35] neta: sudo rsync in your case. ;) And you will have to fix permissions afterwards. [20:36] genii: And he needs an X server on his Windows. [20:36] bekks: Yes, thats what Xming is [20:37] genii and jamesd thanks [20:42] Is there any way to 'watch' a folder for changes ? like if a change happened, run a script.. === rpadovani is now known as WebbyIT [20:43] neta: Thats what's "inotify" is for. [20:43] neta: Is the machine you're connecting to a server without hardware like keyboard and mouse? If so, then you need to install xvfb [20:44] will read about inotify and xvfb [20:45] well no keyboard or mouse that i'm aware of its a ec2 amazon large instanse [20:46] I just installed ubuntu [20:46] with [20:46] sudo apt-get install inotify-tools [20:46] "Install alongside Windows" [20:46] and realised [20:46] i didn't wanna do that [20:46] and it didn't say it was installing [20:46] so I pressed quit [20:46] and then an error came up and then I couldn't find my windows partition [20:46] neta: Yes, then you need xvfb so that it can install a minimal X server and pretend to have hardware for it to work [20:46] is all my stuff gone now? [20:46] neta: after installing inotify-tools, you can man inotifywait and inotifywatch [20:47] checked in gparted and theres a 12GB SWAP partition and one big 1888GB partition which used to be 2 separate partitions [20:48] Has all my important work disapeered? [20:48] neta: I usually throw inotifywait in a loop, like so: https://gist.github.com/ggreer/9162181 === bhek_ is now known as bhek [20:50] Chizbang, not sure, testdisk might be able to undo those changes. when you try something new, always backup "important stuff" [20:50] Just thought I could tryst Ubuntu [20:50] would test disk be able to get back my missing partition? [20:51] http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [20:51] Chizbang: Try closing gparted, then run at commandline: sudo partprobe then re-try gparted [20:51] Ubuntu (or maybe Gnome) isn't detecting my right Super key. It generates the right scancode from $ showkey -s but in Gnome when I open the interactive keyboard map in Region&Language settings it shows nothing when I press the right Super (windows) key. How can I fix this. [20:51] ? [20:52] ggreer so basically it continuely checking if there was any notificationa nd then running a command [20:52] thats great [20:52] yeah. I actually use it on OS X the most [20:52] with fsevents-tools [20:52] but it should work with inotifywait just fine [20:53] thank [20:53] also it doesn't use polling. inotify is an efficient way to watch for changes [20:53] the kernel alerts the program when things have changed [20:54] Genil: Windows install is showing up the same too [20:54] i put in my install disk [20:54] and checked the windows partition [20:54] https://github.com/ggreer/fsevents-tools [20:54] and it s 1888GB big and theres 1830GB free [20:54] ^^ some usage examples there. also there's an auto_rsync script === 16WAATT6T is now known as ^skywalker-ap^ [20:56] any ideas on how ot grab this file and all its dependencies? http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/bcmwl-kernel-source [20:57] Anyone know of a plug and play working USB Wifi Adapter for Ubuntu 12.04? [20:57] i'm on a macbook pro 11,2 [20:57] i need these files for my wifi to work when i boot into ubuntu [20:57] * heath is attempting to install again...

[21:01] Reid_ , supposed to be, but no one is answering :) [21:01] aiko1: Must be an off day :) [21:02] Reid_: FreeNX === weeems is now known as weems [21:04] FreeNX will work for gnome? [21:05] Gnome classic at least [21:05] I just upgraded to 13.10, i'm assuming it doesnt come with classic? [21:07] !notunity [21:07] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [21:08] topP--1996 [21:08] I suppose I will keep googling... I'm sure this must not be a uncommon goal... Thanks geirha === Guest47876 is now known as VoidWhisperer [21:10] will export PATH="$PATH:/etc/my-scripts/" be the right way to add to paths ? so later on i can simply type sh script.sh and it will run instead of specifing the path [21:11] neta: fyi, for personal scripts, using ~/bin is in your default path (fyi, you need to logout and back in, after creating ~/bin for it to work) [21:11] neta: Yes, though a more common place to put custom scripts is /usr/local/bin or just ~/bin if they're only meant for you [21:12] neta: Also, don't add the .sh extension on your scripts, and make them executable rather than running sh [21:12] like permission wise ? [21:13] neta: yes, chmod +x [21:13] neta: May also want to put a shebang as the first line [21:13] Not "May", but "Must" :) [21:13] geirha: ahhh, scripts should have an extension (so in this case .sh or .bash type thing), only binary executables are "by defact-unix standards" suppose to be without extension [not that it technically matters either way] [21:14] * genii slides geirha a fresh beverage [21:14] zykotick9: Why? extensions only cause headaches [21:15] irc://irc.ItaLiaN-AmiCi.NeT/divx-italia [21:17] the idea to make the file executable i love it [21:19] neta: Well, thats required for executing a file. :) === Rory is now known as start9 [21:20] <-- Using an Acer 2430, how do I get around the b43#devicefirmware issue when installing ubuntu from a pendrive? [21:22] lu5er: do you absolutely _need_ wireless for install? no network-cable possible? best of luck... if you need b43xx you might need it. have you seen "/msg ubottu broadcom" info? [21:22] How do I open gnome-control-center in terminal, in a way it already goes to the sound option ? [21:23] xjkx: does it need elevated priviledges (ie root access)? if so, try "gksudo WHATERYOURRUNNINGNOW" [21:24] zykotick: Thanks, been reading and fiddling most of the day, I'll msg ubottu next [21:24] xjkx: oh you just want to customize what it opens too... i have no idea. [21:25] zykotick9: yea, I found out though, if anybody wants to learn too, its gnome-control-center sound thanks anyway [21:31] neta: following up on my nautilus suggestion... look into WinSCP for the same functionality on Windows [21:32] neta: Or use filezilla. On Ubuntu and Windows. [21:34] for rsync is there a optin to update exising files rather then replacing ? [21:34] neta: -u [21:34] thanks [21:36] i picked nvidia-173 drivers and now ubuntu won't boot, what's the easiest way to put back nouveau drivers using install DVD? [21:37] i'm at a terminal prompt after having booted from the install DVD [21:37] j0llyr0tten: Uninstall nvidia-173, and (re)install nouveau? [21:38] I went to install the amd64-microcode package and it wants to remove linux-gernic and linuc-image-generic. That does not seem all that safe to me is it? [21:38] bekks: how to do this from the install DVD? [21:39] j0llyr0tten: The most easy way is to boot into rescue mode. [21:39] jjgalvez__: correct - you don't want that to happen [21:40] yeats: glad I didn't install the package, it seems to be a bug, which is still present in 14.04 (I'm running 13.10) [21:41] rsync --progress -avhurz $sourcefolder $destinationfolder; looks right ? show progress, archive,verbus update recursive compress from soruce to desitination [21:42] neta: -a implies -rlptgoD [21:43] -a isnt to move the file as they are with all the details ? [21:43] neta: ? [21:44] Ah [21:45] so i can remove r from mine [21:45] alright [21:45] neta: missing quotes around the variable expansions. "$sourcefolder" and "$destinationfolder" [21:46] alright [21:47] neta: And "-u" actually does: "skip files that are newer on the receiver". [21:50] does anyone have avahi wizard skills? i'm trying to use avahi inside a docker container in coreos [21:50] well it looks like the amd microcode no longer plays nicely so I should probably update my bios, which I hate doing [21:50] so there isn't something that update the file's content by the brife look i took [21:50] and it's not responding to browse even from requests inside the same container [21:50] i'm not sure why [21:51] I don't know if the messages are supposed to be passed through dbus or broadcast packets [21:51] how to simulate a browse request or see what might be blocking them [21:51] they just fail, it doesn't look like they are even waiting for a timeout [21:51] but avahi-daemon -c && echo OK > "OK" [21:53] neta: -a does. [21:53] neta: An update can be easily identified by "oh, the file to be copied is newer than the file to be overwritten." [21:54] bekks: sorry, but how do you boot into rescue mode [21:54] j0llyr0tten: By choosing it in the grub menu. [21:55] bekks: ok, i googled it, i'll try that - thanks very much for your help kind sir :) [21:55] bekks thanks again === j-user is now known as jcs222 [21:58] ok so the rsync little script work now notify [22:06] ggreer you little script, wont it stop after a change happened ? [22:06] no [22:07] it's got an infinite loop in it [22:07] ctrl+c to stop it [22:07] you want inotifywait [22:07] if you just want to exit [22:07] so basically it accept a path [22:08] COMMAND=("$@") this guy i dont understand === i3luefire__ is now known as i3luefire === yorick_ is now known as yorick [22:09] can i not replace "${COMMAND[@]}" with my script name like, sudo scriptname and it would do the same ? === kqueue is now known as _kq [22:19] hey! i have win7 and i have problem booting usb with ubuntu in it... [22:20] i cant bood it on my laptop, tho it does work on pc! [22:21] md5 matches! === eric is now known as Guest60655 [22:21] reload: Define "cant boot" please. Does the laptop doesnt even boot from USB at all? [22:22] when i boot usb, i get back text "SYSLINUX 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 H. Peter Anvin et al" [22:22] and it stops.... === aaaas is now known as aaas === ganesh is now known as Guest2259 [22:27] reload: tried different ports? [22:28] does it makes any difference? I can read and write flash... should it not boot also then? [22:32] reload: *shrug* stranger things have happened [22:32] ggreer you script simply runs endlessly and execute a command without anything to do with notifywait right ? i mean the command does not get executed in corosponding to and event [22:33] in the while you dont seem to check anything, its just while ture do .... done [22:33] or maybe i'm reading it wrong [22:33] it's uhh.. I mean if you have trouble understanding what it does... I'm not sure what to tell you [22:34] i have no clue what shift does, other then that it looks pretty straigh forward, i mean line 17,18,19 are the ones i am talking about, [22:35] shift shifts args. so $1 disappears and $@ becomes everything after that [22:35] then it waits for something to change in that path, and executes the command afterwards [22:36] it's a really really simple script. it just waits for a change, and runs the command you specify each time [22:37] i tried running it, it runs the command endlessly that's why i asked === quark is now known as Guest20364 [22:43] does anyone know how to block a broadcast packet? [22:43] (i'm really trying to see how they are being blocked, so I can unblock them) [22:44] hello anyone in here [22:46] yo [22:48] how's it going kbarrett, i was wondering if you can give me your opinion on the linux + certification? [22:48] never heard of it [22:48] do you know if it's possible for broadcast packets to jump interfaces over a bridge? [22:50] thats a good question, I guess i would say no because the packets would be dropped if they weren't recognizes [22:51] dont quote me on that though lol, I am trying to remember the cisco training i had. [22:52] i'm a coreos/docker user [22:52] are you having trouble sending [22:52] i have several containers that all have ip addresses on their own veth [22:52] and then docker0 is the bridge interface on the host that connects them all [22:53] so, I set a broadcast address on all of the interfaces [22:53] they're all in 172.17.0.0/16 [22:53] so I used 172.17.255.255 [22:53] the host is 172.17.42.1 [22:53] and it's the only one that can receive broadcast packets, and only from itself [22:54] take that back [22:54] they could all receive broadcast packets from the host as well [22:54] but never from each other [22:55] i'm using netcat to try to understand why avahi doesn't work at all [22:55] which seems like wholly inadequate simulation now that I think about it [22:55] but i'm sure that avahi uses broadcast udp packets [22:56] so I figured I should start by trying to use broadcast udp myself for something [22:56] your in the 172.17.42.0/16 network right? [22:56] well the network is 172.17.0.0/16 [22:57] the containers all live under 172.17.0.(1-7) [22:57] and the host is 172.17.42.1 [22:57] which is all the same subnet because /16 [22:58] i can get directed udp from one container to the other [22:58] kbarrett: they're not getting blocked, they're not getting repeated is all :) you'd need a lower level bridge [22:59] daftykins: no, that's not the problem and here's the reason I know [22:59] because broadcast packets from within the same container don't reach the same container [22:59] nc -l -u 0.0.0.0 50001 (in one terminal) [23:00] echo packet|nc -u 172.17.255.255 50001 (in the other) [23:00] both on the same container [23:00] nothing happens [23:01] so it's like broadcast packets are disabled for some reason [23:01] but eth0: [23:01] therefore i'm lost [23:01] or does this not preclude what you're saying is my issue [23:02] i'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong :D [23:02] should I try a different broadcast address? [23:03] like 172.17.0.255 [23:03] sorry man, I am stumped on your question, but if it was something with your network address I would try to have it after 172.17.42.1/16 [23:03] kbarrett: this has got to be pretty far off topic for this channel [23:04] daftykins: well yes but the goal is to make avahi work [23:04] and these are ubuntu containers :) [23:04] if you have any wisdom to share I'm very appreciative [23:04] just can't help but feel there must be a better place for this topic [23:05] i'm coming up dry in #docker and #coreos [23:05] next place I'll check is #linux [23:05] maybe there is an lxc channel [23:05] daftykins: I gave kbarrett some feedback on the network addressing, but i might still be wrong [23:05] sorry i wasnt much help bro [23:06] Hi [23:06] hello [23:07] thanks for trying [23:07] Any one try ubuntu phone? I am just curious about that...

[23:10] it is very intresting, i like the philosophy what is behind it [23:11] !phone [23:11] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [23:11] guys this channel is not for random conversation, join #ubuntu-offtopic for that [23:11] free the mobile apps that is about the mozilla fundaiton [23:11] ubuntu support questions here ONLY [23:11] sorry, i start it [23:11] i have to read the welcome notes maybe [23:12] bye === Guest15270 is now known as Jonbo [23:22] is there a way toany way to prod the "Restoring previously installed packages" process along? === nagnit is now known as tingan [23:35] Hey my wifi keeps dropping randomly, and suggestions? [23:36] it would help to know what wifi chipset you are running. in application launcher open terminal emulator, type lspci (or lsusb if wifi is usb) and look for what chipset the network adapter is [23:37] Wireless Adapter v1000 [Realtek RTL8192SU] [23:37] Is that it?
