| mattwj2002 | hi clackamas | 00:03 |
| clackamas | Hopefully this is an appropriate channel for ubuntu/xen general questions? | 00:04 |
| mattwj2002 | server issue? | 00:04 |
| mattwj2002 | if so, you may want to try #ubuntu-server? | 00:04 |
| clackamas | NO, more suggetions on system setup/design. | 00:04 |
| neta | ah !! need to add --delete | 00:05 |
| mattwj2002 | ask away :) | 00:05 |
| clackamas | Just semi-blindly build an FX 8320 for the purpose of setting a Xen machine for file system development. | 00:05 |
| clackamas | While I had previously gotten kvm to work for a work related project, I decided to go with Xen for various reasons. | 00:06 |
| neta | Now it workd ! | 00:06 |
| clackamas | Anyway, I was trying to setup console based system using Ubuntu 3.10. | 00:06 |
| mattwj2002 | clackamas: what are your system specs? | 00:06 |
| clackamas | Server. | 00:06 |
| antonio999999999 | ciao | 00:07 |
| clackamas | Matty: FX-8320, 16GB Ram, EVGA Nvida 610, 2x 120GB Kingston SSD and an Asus mobo w/970 chip set. | 00:07 |
| mattwj2002 | sound good | 00:07 |
| mattwj2002 | processor? | 00:08 |
| clackamas | AMX FX-8320 | 00:08 |
| clackamas | err AMD | 00:08 |
| mattwj2002 | oh | 00:08 |
| mattwj2002 | let me look up the specs on that pchi | 00:08 |
| clackamas | Well, i Have gotten Xen to boot the debia installer. | 00:08 |
| clackamas | As a test. | 00:08 |
| daftykins | Xen VMs tended to be best installed via debootstrap scripts | 00:09 |
| clackamas | I having been trying to setup VGA pass through so I can install 13.10 desktop in an HVM. | 00:09 |
| clackamas | YEah, I am learning the boot strap scripts. | 00:09 |
| mattwj2002 | 8 threads? | 00:09 |
| mattwj2002 | nice | 00:09 |
| clackamas | Yeah. | 00:09 |
| mattwj2002 | sounds good for virtualization | 00:10 |
| clackamas | I did research everything but the VIdeo Card. | 00:10 |
| === Guest89652 is now known as irssi-mike | ||
| mattwj2002 | cool | 00:10 |
| clackamas | I currently installed the minimum install + Xen using Ubuntu 13.10 Server. | 00:10 |
| mattwj2002 | nice | 00:11 |
| mattwj2002 | what are you doing as far as the hard drives? | 00:11 |
| mattwj2002 | mirroring? | 00:11 |
| clackamas | BTW: with my mobo, I had to use a PS2 keyboard to do the install; the USB keyboard didn't work. | 00:11 |
| === logan is now known as Guest92945 | ||
| clackamas | Just if anyone asks :) The usb keyboard worked for 13.10 Desktop and I haven't tracked down what th edriver issue is. | 00:11 |
| clackamas | I am as far as setting a PV instance using the instructions found on various web sites. | 00:12 |
| Beldar | clackamas, This is support do you have an issue, rather than the history of your work installing? | 00:12 |
| mattwj2002 | clackamas: I have been having a horrible time with my new laptop's wireless | 00:12 |
| clackamas | So, I got it to boot initrd. | 00:12 |
| mattwj2002 | Beldar: is there a #ubuntu-social? | 00:12 |
| clackamas | Well, my support question is this: | 00:13 |
| mattwj2002 | oh wait #ubuntu-offtopic I guess | 00:13 |
| clackamas | I don't want to tinker with all the scripts. | 00:14 |
| Beldar | !enter | clackamas | 00:14 |
| clackamas | If I install 13.10 Desktop, add all the server stuff and boot into a Xen server, are the gui's enough to get my up and running? | 00:14 |
| clackamas | As much as Xen dev appeals, I need to getting working for filesystem work. | 00:14 |
| clackamas | Basically, I want a head machine that will start up the PV or HVM instance. | 00:14 |
| clackamas | I will probably use puppet to it. | 00:14 |
| ubottu | clackamas: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:14 |
| clackamas | MOstly, I am looking for advice on minimizing my tinkering with the Xen scripts and the console layer. | 00:14 |

| felix__ | but i dont know what i need to delete without to do nothing bad | 00:53 |
| clackamas_ | felix: can you share the output of 'df -g' by running it the command line? | 00:53 |

| neta | found it its make uninstall | 00:58 |
| neta | thanks | 00:58 |
| felix__ | people only i want get free space and dont damage my system | 00:58 |
| clackamas_ | Oh, you are building software. | 00:58 |
| clackamas_ | felix_ are you dual booting with Windows? | 00:59 |
| gustav | jude: Talk to the Rosegarden people, unless you're having the same problem with other software? | 00:59 |
| felix__ | yes | 00:59 |
| mollywood | felix__: How big is your / if your home is empty you can resize / | 00:59 |
| clackamas_ | felix_: how large is root? 'df -h /' | 00:59 |
| gustav | jude: Is your X setup special in any way? | 00:59 |
| felix__ | only 10gb | 01:00 |
| jude | gustav: not that i know of | 01:00 |
| clackamas_ | And how big is /home? | 01:00 |
| mollywood | felix__: To small really how big is the home partition? | 01:00 |
| felix__ | 15gb | 01:00 |
| felix__ | and windows is 15gb | 01:00 |
| clackamas_ | so you only have 40GB hard rive total? | 01:01 |
| gustav | jude: Could be that Rosegarden is triggering a bug in your version of X, so try upgrading any of them, if you can, or downgrade. If you feel like testing. And if you can't get a hold of the Rosegarden folks. | 01:01 |
| mollywood | felix__: anything encrypted in ubuntu, is this a standard install? | 01:01 |
| felix__ | yes 40gb | 01:01 |
| felix__ | yes | 01:01 |
| mollywood | felix__: what is the second yes for? | 01:02 |
| felix__ | when i use the terminal for installing thins what do the installers? | 01:02 |
| clackamas_ | felix_: if you can, I would recommand re-installing Ubuntu but make 1 partition instead of 2 given your constraints. | 01:02 |

| felix__ | mollywood is bad 10gb for root? | 01:04 |
| felix__ | 512 but i need disc space no ram | 01:04 |
| mollywood | felix__: 10 gigs is a bit small, you have filled it up it seems. | 01:05 |
| clackamas_ | felix_: understand about disk space vs. ram. I was asking because you will want 512-1024M of swap. | 01:05 |
| felix__ | yes i have 512 and swap 1gb i learn to do ir reading | 01:06 |
| clackamas_ | fleix_: if you can, re-install Unbutu with the same amount of swap, but 1 25GB partition. | 01:08 |
| clackamas_ | So, you would have 1 partitoin for Windows, 1 for swap and 1 for Linux. | 01:08 |
| felix__ | clackmas understand me please i have one partition for each | 01:09 |
| jude | gustav i tried the 13.04 and the 13.10 of rosegarden and they both crash X. so does that mean it is most likely my version of X? | 01:09 |
| clackamas_ | felix: so I thught you had /home that is 15GB and a / that is 10GB? | 01:09 |
| felix__ | yes one for each | 01:10 |
| felix__ | but my /home is empty | 01:10 |
| felix__ | my root is full | 01:10 |
| clackamas_ | felix__, I am suggesting you re-install Linux but change how you installed it. | 01:11 |
| mollywood | felix__: Having one partition for / and home in your situation will be your best setup. Otherwise you have to know how to resize partitions to get the most out of ubuntu. | 01:12 |
| clackamas_ | felix__, what mollywood just said. | 01:13 |
| felix__ | just a partition or one for each one? | 01:13 |
| clackamas_ | felix__, Just 1 partition for LInux. | 01:13 |
| felix__ | then i dont need to make /home? | 01:14 |
| felix__ | just the root? | 01:14 |
| clackamas_ | felix__, no. | 01:14 |
| mollywood | felix__, Did you install ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| felix__ | yes | 01:14 |
| mollywood | felix__: What release is it? | 01:14 |
| felix__ | i was looking a way for deleting things i dont need | 01:16 |
| mollywood | felix__: what does this command show when run in the terminal. lsb_release -a | 01:16 |
| clackamas_ | felix__, you can use the gui to remove packages you don't need. | 01:17 |

| clackamas_ | Guest77998, what is your goal? | 01:47 |
| Beldar | alexi5, You might try #ubuntu-server | 01:48 |
| clackamas_ | alexi5, i don't know if your problem is known or not, but one guess is a nic bug. You can check in /var/log/syslog to see if there are any hints to the problem. | 01:48 |
| Guest77998 | I am a networker and this looks to be a serious and vibrant community. Hence my goal to utilize this as a source for better understanding linux (which is mainly used as an OS for servers) | 01:49 |
| alexi5 | i checked syslog after rebooting the server and i don't see any errors | 01:50 |

| LeeMerriman | Hi, I'm looking to install Ubuntu on my computer, but I already have Windows 7 and Windows 8. Will I still be able to access them? | 02:39 |
| Beldar | LeeMerriman, If installed correctly yes, is this a uefi or msdos setup? | 02:39 |
| Beldar | uefi+gpt | 02:39 |
| Beldar | =* | 02:40 |
| LeeMerriman | Beldar I admittedly have no idea what that means. | 02:40 |
| elb0w | So now I logged in as my main user and had to hotkey to start my shell. I just have my wallpaper | 02:41 |
| elb0w | Is there a way to reset all my ui stuff to default? | 02:41 |
| Beldar | LeeMerriman, gpt is just a different partition setup, different then the msdos we have had for years. | 02:41 |
| Beldar | elb0w, Did you run a reset on unity and compiz to get in? | 02:42 |
| Vivekananda | anyone with something for me | 02:42 |
| elb0w | Beldar: I did a gconftool reset | 02:42 |

I'm assuming something is still running, how can I find out what? | 02:43 |
| Beldar | elb0w, 13.10 is dconf, did you make sure you were using a 13.10 reset, this has changed in releases? | 02:43 |
| elb0w | Beldar: it works fine when I load in as a guest | 02:43 |
| Beldar | elb0w, A reboot after a reset is suggested as well. | 02:44 |

| ubottu | LeeMerriman, don't download -: Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq - See also !P2P | 03:34 |

| LeeMerriman | cfhowlett: I mean wget is getting me 13.9MB/s on Ubuntu, and the same file on Windows no matter how I do it is 2.6MB/s | 03:35 |
| cfhowlett | LeeMerriman, too many unknown factors to analyze properly | 03:36 |
| LeeMerriman | cfhowlett: Such as? | 03:36 |
| Rallias | LeeMerriman, The only difference I can think of is 1. you're running a .net compile of wget, or 2. windows runs tcp-slow-start strictly (more likely #1) | 03:36 |
| cfhowlett | LeeMerriman, this sounds like a non-problem problem. I'm out. | 03:36 |
| LeeMerriman | Rallias: Firefox installed on both, same file from same place. Windows 2.6MB/s, Ubuntu 13.9MB/s. The only place I see on Windows that gets my 13.9 is Steam. | 03:37 |
| Rallias | LeeMerriman, Again, I don't know enough about the nitty gritty in windows except to suggest the former two items. | 03:38 |
| Rallias | LeeMerriman, What kind of file is it? | 03:38 |
| LeeMerriman | Rallias: I'm not using wget on Windows | 03:39 |
| LeeMerriman | Rallias: http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test | 03:39 |
| Rallias | Ahh, so highly compressible. | 03:39 |
| Rallias | It may be that your windows install is on 10 mbit/s ethernet... | 03:39 |
| LeeMerriman | Rallias: I'd assume then that Steam wouldn't get the full 105, but it does | 03:39 |
| Rallias | LeeMerriman, Comcast? | 03:40 |
| LeeMerriman | Rallias: Correct. | 03:41 |
| Rallias | Well then, third theory. | 03:42 |
| Rallias | I've had a theory for a while that comcast throttles windows users because they can get away with it, but not linux users because linux users tend to complain more. | 03:42 |
| Rallias | LeeMerriman, Or option 4: You're using different DNS servers on linux than on windows. | 03:43 |

| davidrsmorris | Hi, I have destroyed one user account on my machine such that when you try to log in, you hear the drums and are back at the login. Help? | 03:50 |
| cfhowlett | davidrsmorris, since guest account access works, I'd say that your system is installed properly, but there's a confusing configuration in your user account. Fix? I don't know but --- login to the terminal, create a new user account for yourself, reboot, login | 03:52 |
| Beldar | davidrsmorris, As well for help details are needed. Since you state you have"destroyed one user account" what does that exactly mean? | 03:53 |
| davidrsmorris | cfhowlett: I am trying to change fonts back to defaults, do you know how to do that (made an extra account) Beldar: was messing around with fonts, errors started happening. And XDM blocked boot, even for console access! | 03:55 |
| cfhowlett | davidrsmorris, hmm. I wonder if it's a rendering issue. Me? In this situation, I'd login to terminal, nuke the user configurations (all the .hidden files) from my /user/home and then reboot/login. | 03:58 |

| pvl1 | jeetpei: what webdav server are you using, do u have access it | 06:08 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: i logged in as Jeet user and using sudo to mount also using sudo to mv in webdav mount | 06:08 |

| pvl1 | jeetpei: you should ask on #networking | 06:10 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: i could try to find your answer if its needed.. | 06:11 |
| pvl1 | jeetpei: you stated you cannot rename folders. how do you know you have write access to these folders | 06:11 |
| genii | #networing is an official channel? Or is it maybe ##networking ? | 06:11 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: because i tried same with Windows client and cadaver as well and it succed there | 06:12 |
| pvl1 | ##networking perhaps. but freenode would probably forward you | 06:12 |
| pvl1 | ah that changes things | 06:12 |
| pvl1 | jeetpei: whats the command you use for mounting | 06:12 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: i am using mount -t davfs <server-address> /mnt/<folder> -o username | 06:13 |
| pvl1 | jeetpei: as root? | 06:13 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: sudo | 06:13 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: should i try root ? | 06:14 |
| pvl1 | jeetpei: thats what sudo does | 06:14 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: hmm | 06:15 |
| pvl1 | what are you using to access the webdav | 06:15 |
| pvl1 | terminal or a filemanager | 06:15 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: terminal | 06:16 |
| zykotick9 | pvl1: fyi, if it is just a temporary mount, i'd recomment just using /mnt as your mount point (that's what it's there for) - note, the subfolder under mount must exist before you run your mount command.... | 06:16 |
| jeetpei | actually i connected using putty | 06:17 |
| pvl1 | jeetpei: ^^ and do you have permissions to the directory? not just owner but also permissions, ls -la /dir | 06:17 |
| Andres123 | Hi, | 06:18 |
| Andres123 | Can somebody help me qith my Nvidia card driver | 06:18 |
| jeetpei | pvl1: you mean in server or local mount point ? | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | jeetpei: you need to use "ls -lad /dir" to see the directory it self! pvl1 | 06:18 |
| pvl1 | oh thanks zykotick9, getting tired | 06:19 |
| jeetpei | drwxr-xr-x 3 root root | 06:19 |
| pvl1 | jeetpei: and what is your rename command, as well as error | 06:19 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||

| genii | i/o error is 99% of the time failed hardware | 06:23 |
| * zykotick9 notes that whatever directory jeetpei used the ls on, is owned by root:root and group/other have no write permissions... | 06:23 | |
| genii | eg: Your hard drive is probably kaput | 06:23 |
| zykotick9 | genii: isn't it a webdav mount or something? | 06:24 |
| jeetpei | genii: i am not agree with you | 06:24 |
| pvl1 | zykotick9: thats what im trying to figure out, if webdav understands users and such. i really dunno | 06:25 |
| genii | jeetpei: Feel free to do so. i merely state the facts of my 30 years of experience | 06:25 |
| zykotick9 | 01:19 < jeetpei> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root <-- that seems like it might be an issue to me... | 06:25 |
| jeetpei | zykotick9: what should it be then ? | 06:25 |
| zykotick9 | ? i'm not even sure what you're mounting ;) | 06:26 |
| jeetpei | BTW if i am doing everything with root then it should not matter i guess | 06:27 |
| jeetpei | i am mounting egnyte's server | 06:27 |
| jeetpei | http://egnyte.com/ | 06:28 |
| jeetpei | genii: i said so because i have tried this with three physical server and one VMware virtual box | 06:29 |
| zykotick9 | jeetpei: good luck - i can't help anymore... | 06:29 |
| genii | If it's a remote server you are trying to mount and then receiving and i/o error, odds are the mount on their box is on a hard drive which is crashed or in the process of crashing | 06:31 |
| jeetpei | genii: i get IO Error only with mv other things works fine .. but i would check acording to your suggesstion .. Thanks a lot :) | 06:32 |
| jeetpei | zykotick9: Thanks for luck ;) np you can suggest later | 06:33 |
| jeetpei | ;) | 06:33 |
| genii | jeetpei: When the file is on a hd/partition that is OK and you mv it to a corrupt hd/partition same error | 06:33 |
| jeetpei | genii: how i can find this ? and resolve this ? | 06:34 |
| jeetpei | it would be really helpful | 06:34 |
| niuniu | 6~ | 06:36 |
| genii | jeetpei: If you do just: mount .. it tells you what hd/partitions are mounted into the filesystems under what directories. If you are trying to cp/mv something into a dir that is mounted another place, then umount it and try to fsck it | 06:36 |
| jeetpei | https://server-address/webdav on /mnt/webdav type davfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,_netdev) | 06:39 |
| jeetpei | this is what i get | 06:39 |

| advx_ | hi all good afternoon | 08:26 |
| aristoteles | hello ubuntu room. i have a question about a recent install of 13.10. all worked fine from live usb when i booted with 'nomodeset' (this is on a computer with ati/radeon 83XX). | 08:27 |
| advx_ | INTEL NUC installed 13.10 x64, not able to boot from HDD, plz help | 08:27 |
| aristoteles | but after installation, i installed libreoffice, which pulled into some dependencies (seems unrelated but it's all i did) and now booting with nomodeset, the paramter seems ignored | 08:27 |
| advx_ | live usb working in uefi | 08:28 |
| aristoteles | the fancy splsh screen occurs and then x fails to start | 08:28 |
| aristoteles | any tips? | 08:28 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, Libreoffice is in the install | 08:28 |
| nokiabot | why 13.10 1s slow in netbook | 08:28 |
| aristoteles | oh Beldar, i'm sorry, i was using 'lubuntu' because this computer doesn't have a lot of memory and therefore i figured lxde is a little nicer for it. | 08:28 |
| aristoteles | anyway, libreoffice seems unrelated to the issue. | 08:29 |
| trijntje_ | nokiabot: what is slow? | 08:29 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, how are you booting with no modeset? | 08:29 |
| aristoteles | in /etc/default/grub i had added nomodeset alongside 'quiet splash' | 08:30 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, Did you upgrade-grub then? | 08:30 |
| aristoteles | also i sometimes press 'e' in grub to edit directly | 08:30 |
| aristoteles | beldar, yes | 08:30 |
| aristoteles | Here's what was strange, on the usb, when booting without nomodeset, i see a fancy splash and then black screen when x fails to start. after adding nomodeset, the splash screen has a low res, but x starts nicely and looks fine after | 08:31 |
| advx_ | Any idea abt intel nuc install | 08:32 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, Are you sure you need it, are there no graphic drivers available? Seems ignored means what exactly? | 08:32 |
| aristoteles | now, with or without the parameter nomodeset, i see the fancy splash, so this makes me thing think that 'nomodeset' is ignored | 08:32 |
| * genii tries to decipher advx_'s shorthand | 08:32 | |
| Beldar | good luck | 08:32 |
| aristoteles | Seems ignored refers to the fact that with or without the nomodeset paramter, i see the fancy splash and then the black screen. | 08:32 |
| aristoteles | Beldar, i don't mind trying other graphics drivers, but booting into some graphical environment seems better than none as a first step. | 08:33 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, So no desktop at all then? | 08:33 |
| aristoteles | right, i can access tty mode | 08:33 |
| aristoteles | i just did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and it updated several packages relevant to video (radeon, libdrm, etc...) so i think i'm going to reboot (maybe this upgrade helps?) | 08:34 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, I would run lspci in the tty and name the graphic hardware to the channel. Maybe the upgrade loaded the right drivers. | 08:35 |

| nokiabot | trintje: its not snappy firefox takes 8 seconds to open dash iis slow | 08:35 |
| aristoteles | it's a radeon "temash" | 08:35 |
| aristoteles | it's in the 8thousand series. | 08:35 |
| aristoteles | i can get the specific number in one moment. i'm back at grub now. | 08:35 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, There are more specific details on the radeon which is pertinent likely. | 08:36 |
| aristoteles | no problem, just one moment, it is booting now. | 08:36 |
| aristoteles | there's the fancy splash, ... theres the X crash... the update did not help:( | 08:37 |
| aristoteles | [AMD/ATI] Remash [Radeon HD 8250/8280G] | 08:38 |
| Beldar | aristoteles, Graphic drivers if this is the problem are not something I have had to mess with, I've always had intel, hopefully others will know. | 08:38 |
| aristoteles | in fact, this is my friend's computer. i use debian on a system that has radeon drivers. i've never had this experience though. | 08:39 |
| redsn0w_ | someone uses pigdin connected on facebook? | 08:40 |
| aristoteles | yeah i guess since i just installed today, i can just reinstall from the live usb again and try not to do whatever updates i did which caused me to have this issue | 08:41 |
| nokiabot | why 13.10 1s slow in netbook | 08:41 |
| nokiabot | its not snappy firefox takes 8 seconds to open dash iis slow | 08:42 |
| bazhang | how much ram nokiabot | 08:42 |
| genii | Yes, 8 seconds is an eternity | 08:42 |
| nokiabot | 1gb ram | 08:42 |
| bazhang | thats why | 08:42 |
| nokiabot | yup eternity | 08:42 |
| bazhang | up the ram | 08:43 |
| aristoteles | is it possible that the 'nomodeset' parameter isn't supported in the latest kernel? | 08:43 |
| nokiabot | how come | 08:43 |
| aristoteles | i guess i can also look in /var/log/X.log | 08:43 |
| aristoteles | see if there are any clues. please advise if you guys have sugggestions. | 08:43 |
| nokiabot | 1gb should be enough | 08:43 |
| aristoteles | wow actually there are quite a few errors in there | 08:44 |
| aristoteles | starting with 'failed to load module 'fglrx'' | 08:44 |
| aristoteles | i don't know why it's trying to load fglrx, shouldn't it be using the open source radeon drivers? | 08:45 |
| nokiabot | i have 500 mb+ free at any given time | 08:45 |
| aristoteles | well shit, fglrx is not installed, so why is X looking for it? | 08:47 |
| aristoteles | any advice? | 08:47 |

| vooze | I have tried both kernel 3.13 and 3.14RC both max about 30mbit | 09:03 |

| aristoteles | can you guys advise about a workaround? | 09:31 |

| vooze | if its and old card, the open source is probably best yes | 09:32 |
| Guest61902 | i cannot talk to random people on ICQ. Did Russia do this | 09:32 |
| aristoteles | that bug report says closed fixed in an update but i am lousing the latest | 09:32 |
| Shed-34046 | vooze its old legacy its under now on AMD drivers | 09:32 |
| aristoteles | sorry, meant using the latest | 09:32 |
| Guest61902 | I wanna talk to random people on ICQ | 09:32 |
| tester56 | I need help with preseeding ... | 09:33 |
| Guest61902 | BTW I use Linux MInt 16 | 09:33 |

| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 09:33 |
| cfhowlett | Guest61902, wrong channel and mint is not supported here | 09:33 |
| bazhang | Guest61902, ^ | 09:33 |
| Shed-34046 | vooz on the AMD site it says "Automated installer and Display Drivers for Xorg 6.9 to Xserver 1.12 and Kernel version up to 3.4" | 09:33 |
| cfhowlett | !ot|Guest61902, | 09:33 |
| ubottu | Guest61902,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 09:33 |
| Guest61902 | yep, but I need ICQ chat room | 09:33 |
| tester56 | is it possible to pass the file to the installer at the running live cd (without passing a boot parameter first)? | 09:34 |
| Shed-34046 | so is open source driver a better choice for me or the AMD? | 09:34 |
| cfhowlett | Guest61902, go to #ubuntu-offtopic and let's keep this channel clear for ubuntu support. thank you. | 09:34 |
| Guest61902 | this is Xchat on Mint 16 | 09:34 |
| Guest61902 | Am very bored | 09:34 |
| varunendra | vooze, I think you should change the encryption algorithm in your router to AES (CCMP). Currently it seems to be TKIP which should be avoided at all costs. | 09:34 |
| Shed-34046 | hello? | 09:34 |
| cfhowlett | Guest61902, wrong. mint is NOT supported on the ubuntu channels. | 09:34 |
| Guest61902 | Remember ICQ having chat orom | 09:34 |
| cfhowlett | Shed-34046, greetings | 09:34 |
| Shed-34046 | cfhowlett hi | 09:35 |
| Shed-34046 | cfhowlett would you recommend the AMD or open source driver for my graphics card? | 09:35 |
| varunendra | vooze, after saving the change, reboot the router and retry the connection. I hope it'd get better | 09:35 |
| Guest61902 | ICQ had random chat room in 2004 | 09:35 |
| Shed-34046 | AMD Radeon hd 3200 and on the drivers page under description it says "Automated installer and Display Drivers for Xorg 6.9 to Xserver 1.12 and Kernel version up to 3.4" | 09:35 |
| cfhowlett | Shed-34046, sorry, I don't have enough experience to advise you. suggest you ask in #ubuntu | 09:35 |
| Shed-34046 | this is ubuntu xD | 09:35 |
| aristoteles | i'd like some ubuntu support | 09:36 |
| cfhowlett | Shed-34046, d'oh! thought I was on the xubuntu side. your are | 09:36 |
| cfhowlett | !ask|aristoteles, | 09:36 |
| ubottu | aristoteles,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 09:36 |
| aristoteles | thanks, robots, i've been asking for the last 2 hours. let me know what part you need rephrased. | 09:36 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: it'd be good to sum up the problem / your question and what you learnt about it since. | 09:37 |
| cfhowlett | aristoteles, it would help to restate your issue with details every 15 minutes or so. believe it not ,we are not all breathlessly following your every post, so some of us have no idea what you want | 09:37 |
| Shed-34046 | What xserver or xOrg or whatever does ubuntu require? | 09:38 |
| aristoteles | cfhowlett, tomreyn, wonderful. i'm getting segfaults from /usr/bin/X, after upgrading after a fresh install | 09:38 |
| frotz47 | Shed-34046: what ubuntu version are you | 09:38 |
| Shed-34046 | ubuntu 13.10 | 09:38 |
| aristoteles | please allow me to paste the xorg.0.log | 09:39 |
| vooze | varunendra: I might try that also, but you thinks thats all the problem? because when i read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2204438&p=12924319#post12924319 it seems I need to upgrade some firmware | 09:39 |
| genii | aristoteles: Please pastebin it instead | 09:39 |

| aristoteles | Shed, Xorg.0.log is a file in /var/log, you'll need to access it with cat or less or a text editor of your choice. | 09:40 |

| redsn0w_ | hello guys, it's 13.10 User ubuntu and do not know what I did but I changed my unintentionally graphical interface that was standard for KDE unity, could someone help me get back to intarface unity again? | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | Guest61902, no it doesn't. you've beenadvised where to go for mint support. have a little class | 09:41 |
| aristoteles | if you guys have no advice, i think i have to reinstall and not upgrade after reinstall. as things were working this afternoon (this system was just installed a few hours ago) | 09:41 |
| Guest61902 | I do not have Mint Debian | 09:41 |
| Guest61902 | I have mint | 09:41 |

| Gusteru | hi! anyone can help me please ? I have a problem to download. please see my paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/6980817/ | 09:42 |
| Guest61902 | release a Ubuntu Mate Edition Seriously | 09:42 |
| aristoteles | note that segfault is possibly coming from glamor. any suggestions? | 09:42 |
| genii | !info mate | 09:42 |
| bekks | Guest61902: Thats nothing Ubuntu can do something about. | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Package mate does not exist in saucy | 09:43 |
| genii | !info mate trusty | 09:43 |
| Guest61902 | Mate Desktop Environment | 09:43 |
| bekks | geez. | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Package mate does not exist in trusty | 09:43 |
| genii | Hm. | 09:43 |
| varunendra | vooze, upgrading the firmware shouldn't hurt though. Usually you can safely and blindly follow whatever chili555 on UF recommends :) | 09:43 |
| bekks | Gusteru: Thats nothing Ubuntu can do something about. | 09:43 |
| bazhang | Guest61902, that does not exist for ubuntu | 09:43 |
| redsn0w_ | hello guys, it's 13.10 User ubuntu and do not know what I did but I changed my unintentionally graphical interface that was standard for KDE unity, could someone help me get back to intarface unity again? | 09:43 |
| aristoteles | lines 462--499 are very relevant i believe | 09:43 |
| Guest61902 | I tell you why. PC-BSD has it. | 09:43 |
| bazhang | Guest61902, and thats offtopic here | 09:43 |
| Guest61902 | PC-BSD has Mate 1.6.1 | 09:44 |
| aristoteles | seeing as this is a fresh install, it feels like an ubuntu bug, but perhaps i just have something misconfigured? | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | redsn0w_, logout. click on the ubuntu icon. choose unity desktop environment. log in. | 09:44 |
| aristoteles | you guys are the experts | 09:44 |
| genii | Gusteru: The site you are trying to download from seems not to support anonymous connection | 09:44 |
| aristoteles | were you able to view my log? | 09:44 |
| hewhomust | mints nice | 09:44 |
| Gusteru | bekks It may be of some settings? or how can I make wget? | 09:44 |
| fl0w | Windows has Aero! | 09:44 |
| bekks | Gusteru: It is because of the website ou are trying to download from. | 09:44 |
| hewhomust | fl0w: what? | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | Gusteru, ^^^ problem is on the site not from ubuntu | 09:45 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay, I'll try to upgrade firmware and reboot router after: ) | 09:45 |
| vooze | just need to figure out what to do with that tar.gz file | 09:45 |
| fl0w | hewhomust: I thought the current topic was to talk off-topic non-sense? | 09:45 |
| varunendra | vooze, what does it contain? | 09:45 |
| bekks | vooze: Unpackk it, and read the installation instructions contained. | 09:45 |
| aristoteles | vooze, you might want to unpack it with "tar -xvzf name.of.your.tar.gz' | 09:45 |
| Gusteru | cfhowlett bekks genii : I tried to make wget from multiple sites and the same error | 09:45 |
| bekks | Gusteru: Then those server do not support anonymous connections. | 09:46 |
| redsn0w_ | cfhowlett, when I start the LightDM session opens with kde plasma, it only gives me the option to start with KDE environment or PLASMA UBUNTU which is also the KDE interface | 09:46 |
| bekks | Gusteru: It is not about Ubntu settings. | 09:46 |
| aristoteles | this bug is very similar to mine: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72192 | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Freedesktop bug 72192 in Driver/Radeon "Crash in libllvm with kernel based modesetting on Radeon 7790" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 09:46 |
| cfhowlett | redsn0w_, this is plain vanilla ubuntu, right? | 09:47 |
| _dan_ | hi | 09:47 |
| cfhowlett | Gusteru, weird. the wget you pasted works for me ... | 09:47 |
| aristoteles | they say fixed in mesa 9.2.2 does this mean i have to get mesa source and recompile? i'm on ubuntu 13.10, just installed today. | 09:47 |
| cfhowlett | _dan_, greetings | 09:47 |
| _dan_ | so i am trying to install the 32-bit libSDL so i can compile this code | 09:48 |
| Gusteru | cfhowlett bekks Yes believe you, but a few days ago doing wget on the same site without problems. Now I appear this error | 09:48 |
| _dan_ | but it seems it will break my system horribly | 09:48 |
| _dan_ | http://pastebin.com/qEAvi4SV | 09:48 |
| redsn0w_ | cfhowlett, 13.10 saucy salamander | 09:49 |
| _dan_ | why do i need to uninstall python in order to install SDL? | 09:49 |
| aristoteles | cfhowlett, i'm getting so sleepy, was hoping to hear somethign from someone in this room before i say fuck it and justt reinstall the working system i had earlier today | 09:49 |
| aristoteles | surely ubuntu is intersted in this bug. | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett | redsn0w_, ask this one again in 15 minutes. I'm on xubuntu - never used unity | 09:50 |
| aristoteles | i have provided system description, xorg logs, any info you want. | 09:50 |
| redsn0w_ | ok, could change, thanks cfhowlett | 09:50 |
| bekks | aristoteles: Did you file a bug? | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | aristoteles, file a bug report ? | 09:50 |
| henkpoley | Is there any kind of oddity you can expect when cloning (dd) a 512 bytes sector disk to a 4kb sector disk ? | 09:50 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay, I found the README and it told me to cp the file to /lib/firmware/ and I did that.. Should I just reboot now? | 09:50 |
| varunendra | vooze not necessary | 09:51 |
| bekks | henkpoley: It will be slow as hell when not using a sane bs= option. bs=16M e.g. | 09:51 |
| aristoteles | cfhowlett, ok thanks for the "support". i think i'm going back to debian now. cheers! | 09:51 |
| redsn0w_ | cfhowlett, informed me that the procedure worked, thank you for your attention. | 09:51 |
| bekks | aristoteles: You better file a bug report. | 09:51 |
| henkpoley | bekks: yes, I did use larger writes | 09:51 |
| varunendra | vooze "sudo modprobe -rv iwlmvm" .... then ...."sudo modprobe -v iwlmvm" | 09:51 |
| aristoteles | bekks: there are 3 or 4 idential bug reports files | 09:51 |
| aristoteles | i have provided links to them | 09:51 |
| bekks | aristoteles: Then they would be marked as duplicates. | 09:51 |
| aristoteles | look above in this irc rrom. | 09:51 |
| aristoteles | well, then perhaps i shouldn't file anothe rjust to have it also marked as a duplicate, right? | 09:52 |
| bekks | aristoteles: And you could attach a comment "for me too" e.g. - but changing the distro is not going to help anyone. | 09:52 |
| henkpoley | on my target drive grub-install is complaining: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda2. Check your device.map." | 09:52 |
| advx_ | n e 1 on intel nuc | 09:53 |
| aristoteles | well, i have a working debian system. my friend asked me to put ubuntu on here. nonetheless, a working debian is better than a failing ubuntu with an X that segfaults. | 09:53 |
| aristoteles | surely someone wants to *look* into that Xorg.0.log i pasted? | 09:53 |
| genii | And why are you installing grub to a partition instead of the MBR ...... | 09:53 |
| henkpoley | genii: I'm installing to /dev/sda | 09:53 |
| aristoteles | so, changing the distro will help me if i can get it working on this computer. | 09:53 |
| henkpoley | genii: sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 09:54 |
| bekks | aristoteles: Well, I feel this discussion is going to end pointless. | 09:54 |
| cfhowlett | aristoteles, do what works for you. | 09:54 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay so that made it worse (with the firmware) its not like 1mbit | 09:55 |
| vooze | varunendra: will try to reboot with kernel 3.13.5 and not 3.14RC | 09:55 |
| vooze | brb | 09:55 |
| genii | henkpoley: Did you do some partitioning just before this without running partprobe after? | 09:55 |
| aristoteles | perhaps i was being confusing, my computer is a acer with amd apu and radeon, i run debian and all works great. the computer i'm installing ubuntu on is an hp with amd apu and radeon. i've gotten quite stuck and spent 4 hours trying to get x to boot. just wishing someone would look at my gd xorg log and make some relevant comment other than "aristoteles: be sure to do the right thing" | 09:55 |
| varunendra | vooze, was it from the github link? | 09:55 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: Not to be in the elephant in the room, but just a future heads up, you can generally get away with fixing issues regardless of channel if you don't mention your linux flavor. | 09:55 |
| cfhowlett | !attitude|ristoteles, | 09:55 |
| ubottu | ristoteles,: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 09:55 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: i looked at your log. i can see how your X segfaults. and that you seem to be running 13.10 with correct kernel and Xorg versions. this channel is more about simple fixes which do not involve bisecting and recompiling packages. in your case chances are that may be neceessary. analyzing segfaults is better done via bug reports. | 09:55 |
| vooze | varunendra: no from http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-034398.htm | 09:56 |
| vooze | the 3.13+ kernel | 09:56 |
| henkpoley | genii: I did ddrescue from one 500GB drive to another (same amount of blocks) then unplug old drive, plug in new drive | 09:56 |
| Beldar | agent_white, Sorry we ask those questions | 09:56 |
| henkpoley | genii: old drive did have 60kb of bad blocks, but not in the 20GB of boot partition | 09:56 |
| agent_white | Beldar: Oh no worries at all. I'm here to listen unless the problem serves better to be asked here. | 09:56 |
| varunendra | vooze, is iwconfig showing 1Mb/s ? | 09:56 |
| aristoteles | agent_white, sounds like a suggestion to go back to the debian room where the folks actually look at the stuff you paste. if i don't tell them its a log from an ubuntu install, they might help. is that your suggestion or do i misunderstand. | 09:57 |
| vooze | varunendra: no, speedtest.net | 09:57 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: If it applies across ALL linux flavors, does it matter whom you ask? | 09:57 |
| Bauer | Guys, I have Ubuntu installed on SSD drive with GRUB2, and I have 1TB HDD on which I want to install Win 8, without ruining my Ubuntu installation. BIOS is UEFI boot. Any way I can do that without having to restore grub using USB disk later? | 09:57 |
| aristoteles | agent_white: not to me. :) | 09:57 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: Does it pertain to Debian specifically? Would they better understand the issue you have and tools you use there? If so... well, choose as you should. | 09:58 |
| varunendra | vooze, have you tried any driver parameters yet? Especially the "swenc" | 09:58 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: I' | 09:58 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn: ok, i really, honestly do appreciate that. i don't mind recompiling packages, i had to do so inorder to get vdpau support in mesa on my debian computer. | 09:58 |
| varunendra | vooze, sorry, "swcrypto=1" | 09:58 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: I'll ask any car guy at any car shop about my car, but if I have a question about a "Nissan-part", I'll ask a Nissan-guy. | 09:58 |
| vooze | varunendra: nope, not at all, I don't even know what that it | 09:58 |
| vooze | is* | 09:59 |
| aristoteles | agent_white: indeed: xorg-server-video-ati are *not* ubuntu specific. but these versions of the packages are. | 09:59 |
| aristoteles | anyway, i think i best be moving along. | 09:59 |
| aristoteles | sorry i'm so cranky. | 09:59 |
| varunendra | vooze, sometimes when the hardware (wifi chip) can't keep up with the packet encryption/decryption job, this parameter helps. It shifts the task from the hardware to the software (driver/os) | 09:59 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: I think it is best. But now you know ;) | 10:00 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay, how do I try it? | 10:00 |
| aristoteles | agent_white: what is it that I now know? | 10:00 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: That every mechanic knows about how engines work. But only special-mechanics know about special-engines. | 10:01 |
| linuxthefish | why does my desktop just have a blank X Desktop terminal in it? | 10:01 |
| linuxthefish | this is througb VNC | 10:01 |
| === erikj- is now known as erikj | ||
| varunendra | vooze, "sudo modprobe -rv iwlmvm" ...... "sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi swcrypto=1" .......... "sudo modprobe -v iwlmvm" --- this will load the parameter temporarily, will be lost on next boot or on next driver reload | 10:01 |
| aristoteles | agent_white: i'm not sure that's somethign that i've just learned, but i will think on that platitude as i reinstall from scratch. gnite eveyrone | 10:02 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: Unless the issue is specific to Debian, it most likely can be asked in any linux channel. | 10:02 |
| aristoteles | and thanks again tomreyn for looking at my logfile. | 10:02 |
| vooze | varunendra: So if I understand you, I should use the first and last command to test? | 10:02 |
| varunendra | vooze, all three in the sequence they are given | 10:03 |
| vooze | varunendra: ah okay, 2 secs :) | 10:03 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: i guess i'm just saying your issue is not going to be manageable here, too complex for a support channel. i also didn't appreciate your attitude towards the volunteer support crew here. but i wish you luck in solving this issue, and still think adding to existing bug reports (such as by using the ubuntu-bug command as a first step) would be the way to go. | 10:03 |
| varunendra | vooze, another parameter worth trying is "bt_coex_active=N" -- it can be tried separately or along with the "swcrypto=1" (sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi swcrypto=1 bt_coex_active=N") | 10:04 |
| agent_white | tomreyn: Didn't know about what he had said prior, but I agree. Though I disagree, in that you need to exhaust all options before bug-reporting. | 10:04 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, i realize i've gotten cranky. i shouldn't have projected that onto any volunteers. thank you again for your comments. | 10:04 |
| vooze | varunendra: well the first one did not help, trying this now :) | 10:05 |
| agent_white | aristoteles: It happens! :D | 10:05 |
| varunendra | vooze, the parameter changes may take a few minutes to show the effect. Give 'em 2 to 5 minutes :) | 10:06 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: thanks for your patience and self-reflectedness. | 10:06 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay, its like 20-25mbit now | 10:07 |
| varunendra | vooze, nowhere close to satisfactory I guess? | 10:07 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, fwiw, i will now reinstall from the live usb and hopefully all will work as before. then, i will take careful note of package versions that way if i update something and i end up with this issue again (probably), at least i can competently say what package update caused the error and in that way be a better citizen. | 10:07 |
| vooze | varunendra: should be like 100 :/ | 10:08 |
| Guest61902 | Is Ubuntu more secure than Mac OS 10.8 | 10:08 |
| vooze | I get like 80mbit+ on kernel 3.11 without the firmware but thats when the connection drops | 10:08 |
| aristoteles | i'm also going to make a copy of the working /etc/X11/ directory so that i can compare it in detail to any nonworking one i end up with tin the future. | 10:08 |
| aristoteles | then if i add to a but report, at least i can be specific. | 10:09 |
| cfhowlett | Guest61902, you can find security comparisons from phoronix on the net | 10:09 |
| varunendra | vooze, have you changed the TKIP to AES yet? The "swcrypto" parameter should work better with AES | 10:09 |
| vooze | varunendra: nope, will try that now. hold on :) | 10:09 |

| Guest61902 | Can Ubuntu make a KFreeBSD | 10:10 |
| Guest61902 | like Debian | 10:10 |
| Guest61902 | but one that works | 10:10 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: are you saying you have a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? if so try moving that out of the way (though you log looked you you don't) | 10:10 |
| cfhowlett | Guest61902, now you're just asking random questions, not support. go to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 10:10 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, no, actually i don't have any /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:11 |
| aristoteles | i did try autogerating one with Xorg -configure, but that also led to segfault. | 10:11 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: nor any files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ i guess | 10:11 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn: nothing hand made, and i didn't notice /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ when i looked in /etc/X11/ | 10:12 |
| aristoteles | i can verify that though, i still haven't done the reinstall | 10:12 |
| vooze | varunendra: so thats done, same result :/ like 20mbit - I'll try kernel 3.13. brb | 10:13 |
| Guest61902 | Did you know that 13.10 crashes on Broadcom wifi drivers | 10:13 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: ok. if you didn't manually create files there and didn't use third party X configuration tools then bothing will be there. | 10:13 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: also, if you will proceed with your plans in determining what causes your regression (though i have not seen an indication that it is one), if you want to look at which packages you asked to be installed / upgraded / removed, you can inspeact /var/log/apt/history.log. | 10:14 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: so i guess the best bet is still to start with that bug report. | 10:14 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, that seems like a good tip. but don't you consider a segfaulting xserver to be a regression? | 10:15 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: only if the same computer and hardware and software packages worked fine with earlier package versions. | 10:16 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn that is the case | 10:16 |

| Solskogen | thanks | 10:18 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: an upgrade of a package of the same release to a package of the same release? | 10:18 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: or are we talknig dist-upgrade here? | 10:18 |
| vooze | varunendra: so, no improvement with kernerl 3.13.5 | 10:19 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, yes, in that i did not change anything in /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:19 |
| vooze | varunendra: I just don't understand how an older kernel can have a higher speed | 10:19 |
| varunendra | vooze, new firmware + AES in the router? (+ parameters also?) | 10:19 |
| aristoteles | i did apt-get install libreoffice (this was an lubuntu usb stick so didn't have libreoffice) and i think i also typed an apt get update && apt-get upgrade. however i wasn't thinking too hard about it at the time, i didn't expect x to crash after an update | 10:20 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: and "apt-cache policy" does not list unsupported repositories or repositories incompatible to your release? | 10:20 |
| vooze | varunendra: yes :/ | 10:21 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, i have not added anything to /etc/apt/sources.list so the only repos are the ones that were put there by lubuntu 13.10 | 10:21 |
| aristoteles | i ran apt-cache policy on certain packages in the last few hours but currently i'm booted into the live usb again about to reinstall | 10:21 |
| tomreyn | aristoteles: okay, so i agree it'd be a regression then. you could note that into your bug report | 10:21 |
| aristoteles | tomreyn, i will reinstall to the working system and will tread warily. | 10:22 |
| varunendra | vooze, as per the links in the post I linked to earlier, Intel was "Redoing their WiFi stack", things tend to break/have bugs when done from scratch, and I think kernel 3.13 is still under development (??). Maybe that's what you are experiencing. | 10:22 |
| frotz47 | aristoteles: you are using lubuntu? | 10:22 |
| vooze | varunendra: I will try with the firmware from github now, the other was from intel.com | 10:22 |
| varunendra | vooze, good idea :) | 10:23 |
| aristoteles | frotz47: yes i chose ubuntu because this is a low power computer and i've been very happy with lxde on my debian system. | 10:23 |
| aristoteles | frotz47: i meant lubuntu | 10:23 |
| frotz47 | aristoteles: from lubuntu website - Lubuntu Support is #Lubuntu on Freenode.net IRC | 10:23 |
| aristoteles | my friend asked me to install ubuntu and i chose the lubuntu download in order to improve performance on low spec hardware. | 10:23 |
| varunendra | vooze, in fact I would recommend to add your experience/problem to the thread I linked to.. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2178873) | 10:24 |
| aristoteles | frotz47: thank you, noted. | 10:24 |
| vooze | varunendra: I see the only difference is that the firmware from intel is -8 and from the github its -7 | 10:25 |
| vooze | varunendra: So i don't think that will make a big difference | 10:25 |
| xjkx | Trying to run eclipse it said I dont have a jre or a jdk, as I want to develop I suppose I want a jdk ? If so, what do I install ? | 10:26 |
| varunendra | vooze, changing them is as easy as overwriting the file in /lib/firmware, so go ahead, try it. | 10:26 |
| Xenefungus | So what would you guys suggest as a CLI FTP client? it seems lftp, tnftp and yafc are the only active projects anymore, right? | 10:26 |
| aristoteles | Xenefungus, you can do FTP with wget | 10:27 |
| Xenefungus | arietis: interesting | 10:27 |
| _Yank | Greetings | 10:27 |
| aristoteles | Xenefungus, perhaps this is offtopic, but wget ftp://user:pass@server/ works fine for me | 10:28 |
| cfhowlett | _Yank, greetings | 10:28 |
| aristoteles | Xenefungus if you need to do push i just do 'apt-get install ftp' and use the program ftp. although servers that support scp are certainly nicer. | 10:28 |
| lvleph | how do I get xmodmap persistent after suspend and restart? | 10:29 |
| Xenefungus | arietis: yeah i just need to upload something really | 10:29 |
| Xenefungus | guess i'll give built in ftp a try then, thanks | 10:29 |
| Blanco_ | Yop | 10:30 |
| lvleph | rsync works the best imo Xenefungus | 10:30 |

| _Yank | Im having some problems with my SSH VPS. It seems that the bin and sbin folder has been deleted since I it returns me bash command not found to every command. Acutally only cd, cat, ls, tar, and other linux commands works. Even sudo or apt-get is not working !! | 10:30 |

| xjkx | tomreyn: alright thanks | 10:33 |
| tomreyn | welcome | 10:33 |
| varunendra | vooze, just keep the firmware files handy, replace them if the speed drops after an update :) | 10:34 |
| vooze | varunendra: so first i do -rv and then -v right? | 10:34 |
| lvleph | how do I get xmodmap to be persistent after suspend and restart? Also, why is it .xprofile isn't executed after login? | 10:34 |
| Guest61902 | Dude, use a BSD Lisense, then you can make a Linux-BSD kernel | 10:34 |

| sasuke | hi guys, | 10:37 |
| varunendra | vooze, the parameters are applied to the iwlwifi driver, but can be applied only after unloading --> reloading it. But it is used by iwlmvm, so can be unloaded until that one is removed first. | 10:37 |
| cfhowlett | sasuke, greetings | 10:38 |
| sasuke | hi | 10:38 |
| sasuke | i'm facing a problem, "nautilus freeze when copying a file to external drive in ubuntu" can i get help on this | 10:38 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: sshd would be /usr/sbin/sshd | 10:38 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: how did you end up in this situation in the first place? | 10:39 |
| _Yank | I dont know >.< | 10:39 |
| vooze | varunendra: oh okay :D what commands to do use to test it without parameters? | 10:39 |
| varunendra | vooze, so we remove the "iwlmvm" first, it automatically unloads all its dependencies (including iwlwifi). Then we reload only iwlwifi first, with the desired parameters, then iwlmvm in the last. Hence 1st command removes iwlmvm+others 2nd : reloads iwlwifi, 3rd reloads iwlwifi | 10:39 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: are you the only administraotr (root access) on this system? | 10:39 |
| _Yank | Yes | 10:40 |
| vooze | varunendra: ahh, I see now :d | 10:40 |
| varunendra | vooze, to test it without parameters, just unload/reload the iwlmvm (sudo modprobe -rv iwlmvm........ then ........ sudo modprobe -v iwlmvm) | 10:40 |
| drmagoo | sasuke: do 'dmesg' and provide us the output via pastebin | 10:40 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay, Will try that now :) | 10:40 |
| sasuke | drmagoo, ok | 10:41 |
| drmagoo | sasuke: that is open a terminal and type 'dmesg' | 10:41 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: so you installed this VPS a while ago, and it worked fine for a while, and now it doesn't? if so, what happened in between? | 10:41 |
| varunendra | *3rd reloads iwlmvm (sh***) :/ | 10:41 |
| _Yank | Yes, but I dont know what happened... I think my provider has to do with it but they dont say anything | 10:41 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: you also wrote "it returns me bash command not found to every command", do you want to paste such in- and output on your terminal? | 10:41 |
| lvleph | how do I get xmodmap to be persistent after suspend and restart? Also, why is it .xprofile isn't executed after login? | 10:42 |
| vooze | varunendra: okay , waiting 2 mins and then testing :) | 10:42 |
| varunendra | vooze, yup. I'd be keen to know the difference (if any) :) | 10:42 |
| _Yank | http://pastebin.com/wXdqL5zL | 10:42 |

| vooze | varunendra: it seems its the same (80+) without | 10:43 |
| vooze | varunendra: So you think this also might fix the wifi drops right? | 10:44 |
| _Yank | work in ? | 10:44 |
| vooze | with the newer kernel and all | 10:44 |
| varunendra | vooze, that's good. Parameters should be used only when (if) needed. | 10:44 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: usually the root user would work in the /root/ directory, not in / (as you do) | 10:44 |
| varunendra | vooze, if it drops after some time, try the "swcrypto=1" alone first. | 10:44 |
| _Yank | even when i cd | 10:44 |
| _Yank | same goe | 10:45 |
| _Yank | goes* | 10:45 |
| sasuke | drmagoo, i am not getting anything on this o/p ... plz chk "http://paste.ubuntu.com/6981049/" | 10:45 |
| _Yank | But that happens because im using VM console way | 10:45 |
| varunendra | vooze, does "iwconfig" show any "invalid misc" or "Tx excessive retries" now? | 10:45 |
| tomreyn | _Yank: so you're connected via a serial console now? did the system boot normally or was it booted from a different installation, then chrooted onto your system? | 10:46 |

| cfhowlett | sasuke, also you DID set your USB connection to media not camera, right? | 10:55 |
| varunendra | vooze, another thing (that doesn't usually matter) : if a value is given after a colon (:), it is variable and may change. If it is after 'Equal' (=), it is forced and fixed. So the Power Management seems dynamic at the moment. :) | 10:56 |
| sasuke | cfhowlett, how to check that? | 10:56 |

| sasuke | plz correct me if i'm wrong | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Sasuke: the kenel handles the filesystem access, so when you access the mount point the system knows how to read the source and when the data is copied to the other filesy1stem it knows how to put the data on the partition in the right way | 11:13 |

| klloveall | Hi there everyone! So, I was planning to go to bed and watch some TV from my media server when it can't connect. I come to it and try to turn it on and am greeted with a lovely "Kernel panic" message. I thought it was perhaps a HDD failing (they're in a RAID) so I unplugged the one it was trying to read from directly before the kernel panic and it just moved to another HDD. I'm going to take a guess that it's probably the contro | 11:18 |
| klloveall | ller/mobo that's gone bad rather than both HDD's. Is this a good conclusion or is there something more I can look for to give me a definite answer? | 11:18 |
| sasuke | no.. i'm not using windows. Infact i dont have any windows systme | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Sasuke: then why use NTFS? | 11:18 |

| unitypunk | hey.. | 11:19 |
| rannonga | hi unitypunk | 11:19 |
| unitypunk | so i generated a pair of rsa keys for my ssh server | 11:19 |
| bekks | klloveall: Why do you think its a harddisk or controller failure? | 11:19 |
| bekks | klloveall: Any indicators on that, or just a wild guess? | 11:19 |
| unitypunk | but when i copy my pub one to a client | 11:19 |
| unitypunk | i get permission denied (publickey). | 11:19 |
| unitypunk | what am i doing wrong? | 11:20 |
| varunendra | vooze, if you are connected and the traffic is on, then maybe it doesn't matter, but if you wish, you may try forcing your country RegDomain settings. I'm not sure if that'll make any difference or not. | 11:20 |
| vooze | varunendra: I think its good for now. its seems pretty stable with 5Ghz | 11:20 |
| sasuke | :) i dont know about fs in nexus 4, pendrive/HD (if its mine i can change fs to ext 3 but some time i will be using my frnds ) | 11:20 |
| vooze | http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3326101594 | 11:20 |
| Da_Sokk | Hi. I just got a school assignment, asking me to explain chroot and the principles behind it. Does anyone have any clue what these principles might refer to ? | 11:21 |
| cfhowlett | !chroot | 11:21 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 11:21 |
| klloveall | bekks: Because that's what the kernel is interacting with right before it panics and it says "end_request: critical target error, dev sde, sector 1224912". Before it had the same message but sdb instead and a different sector #. | 11:21 |
| varunendra | vooze, that's the only thing that matters in the last :D | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: does your user have read access to the key file? | 11:21 |
| unitypunk | ActionParsnip, the private file? or pub? | 11:21 |
| bekks | klloveall: So most likely your disks sdb and sde are in question. Boot a live cd and investigate the health status of the disks in question, using smartctl | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: on the server, does the user you connec as have read access to the file | 11:22 |
| sasuke | ActionParsnip, cfhowlett : Thanks i will change fs for pendrive/ hd. but what about ph (nexus 4). Everytime i cant use airdroid for transfering. | 11:22 |
| unitypunk | to what file, thats part of my confusin, the public or private? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: setting chmod to 600 then chowning to youruser.youruser will help security | 11:22 |
| vooze | varunendra: indeed it it! Well.. REALLY THANK YOU, for your patience with me.. thats really awesome.. I have saved the log etc. for use maybe later | 11:23 |
| unitypunk | theyre r/o | 11:23 |
| unitypunk | for the user | 11:23 |
| unitypunk | both actually. | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooze: sweet connection bro | 11:23 |
| vooze | ActionParsnip: thank you :D | 11:23 |
| varunendra | vooze, we are hungry for feedbacks, so I should thank YOU :D | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: try sshing with verbose option on the client | 11:23 |
| vooze | varunendra: I will post the story to the UF as promised :) | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: ssh -v user@server | 11:24 |
| cfhowlett | sasuke, I've not figured out the transfer issue - sorry | 11:24 |
| varunendra | vooze, in fact I'm about to shoot an email to chili555 with our experience here.. with all the details you provided. :) | 11:24 |
| klloveall | bekks: it only changed after I unplugged one of the drives. I find it unlikely that both of them would have failed at the same time. | 11:24 |
| bekks | klloveall: I find it very likely that drives start to fail in a short amount of time. | 11:25 |
| vooze | varunendra: oh okay, thats awesome :) | 11:25 |
| bekks | klloveall: Investigate the health status of all dives. | 11:25 |
| bekks | *drives | 11:25 |
| sasuke | cfhowlett, no worries.. thank u .. atleast i got some solution ... thanks to you guys... i will change fs for external usb/hd | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | klloveall: if you reconnect the drive it should rebuild the array (Assuming you arent using software raid) | 11:26 |
| varunendra | vooze, I suggest you test it across a few reboots, and maybe post after an experience of a day or two. | 11:26 |
| unitypunk | ActionParsnip, it attempts to send the publickey from /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: does your user have read access to that file? | 11:27 |
| vooze | varunendra: I will :) just post to UF or to you here? | 11:27 |
| klloveall | bekks: I'll give that a shot tomorrow, I have no idea where a flash drive is. | 11:27 |
| _Yank | Im back | 11:27 |
| theadmin | Hello everyone. I am having trouble with Ubuntu One for two days now, it's not syncing anything. u1sdtool --current-transfers is empty, new files aren't visible on the website. u1sdtool --waiting lists the entries, but they never get processed. | 11:28 |
| varunendra | vooze, UF, the same thread so chili555 knows. I have already subscribed to it. | 11:28 |
| vooze | varunendra: will do! :) | 11:28 |
| klloveall | ActionParsnip: It's a software raid done through mdadm. However, the OS is on a flashdrive so the raid is not needed to boot. | 11:28 |
| bekks | klloveall: Then you dont need a livecd, but you can use your OS. | 11:29 |
| varunendra | vooze, thanks for the interest :) | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | klloveall: as long as it can be unmounted, you can work on it | 11:29 |
| unitypunk | ActionParsnip, there is only id_rsa.pub on the client | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | unitypunk: you need the private key on the client and your public key on the server. I suggest you remove both and start over. There are videos on youtube to help set it up. | 11:31 |
| unitypunk | ActionParsnip, lol wtf that sounds backwards.. so i have to give the private file to any clients.. derp. | 11:32 |
| unitypunk | thats the issue for sure. | 11:32 |

| _Yank | Guys I would like to know how can I transfer a tar.gz file using ssh with putty. Actually my VPS sftp is not working | 11:38 |

| _Yank | It seems to be correct | 11:41 |
| mshaw | can you do, /usr/bin/ssh ? | 11:42 |
| theadmin | _Yank: Oh dear, that's a mess... You probably need to ask your VPS provider to reset the VPS, it's broken. Maybe ask them to backup the data if it's got important things on it. | 11:42 |

| bekks | cityLights: that debian/flashplugin-installer.{config,postinst} have changed. | 12:09 |
| theadmin | diecastarts: Not really, it seems like something's wrong with the DE configuration | 12:09 |
| theadmin | cityLights: Um, it's still supported. They release bugfixes and security updates, just not add any new "features" to their Linux builds | 12:09 |
| theadmin | (apart from Chrome) | 12:10 |
| bekks | cityLights: flash itself has not changed, just two files in the .deb configuration. | 12:10 |
| cityLights | well, I am looking in /var/lib/dpkg/info/flashplugin-installer.config | 12:11 |
| cityLights | I see no "bug fix" | 12:11 |
| diecastarts | theadmin, yeah. I was trying to close out a game i think it changed the res to odd one.. could see everything but everything was to big.. so i tried to do shutdown and reboot and then this started. | 12:11 |
| theadmin | diecastarts: wuh... yeah, that happens with some games | 12:11 |
| bekks | cityLights: Both files debian/flashplugin-installer.{config,postinst} are not provided by Adobe, but the .deb package maintainer. And he/she changed both files. | 12:11 |
| theadmin | diecastarts: (or fullscreen apps in general) | 12:11 |
| theadmin | Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this though :( | 12:12 |
| diecastarts | theadmin, should i pastebin the config? | 12:12 |

| trinode | quick question, power usage is different between two kernels massively, how do I see what's changed between the two? packages? | 12:15 |
| trinode | (it's significant 11W vs 25W) | 12:15 |
| theadmin | diecastarts: LXDE, that is. Hrm. I have no idea where that stores configs, so these paths are wild guesses, but still. Log in anyway you can to your own user account and run: rm -r ~/.lxde ~/.lxde4 ~/.config/lxde ~/.config/lxde4 -- it is likely to report "file not found" for some of these, at least. | 12:15 |
| theadmin | diecastarts: (I am just guessing where it stores the configs) | 12:15 |
| ToaNii | cfhowlett: thanks but actually i've gone through the whole internet but no answer. | 12:16 |
| theadmin | diecastarts: If I guessed right, it should reset the DE to default and you'll be fine :D | 12:16 |

| maksimkaa | hello, how can I know which version of php will be the default on the upcoming ubuntu LTS ? | 12:34 |
| vooze | varunendra: After some reboots etc. I have discovered that the 5Ghz network takes a lot longer to show up, after reboot, where the 2.4Ghz is instant (like it connects on the login screen) I would say the 5Ghz takes maybe 1-2 mins.. Do you have any idea what could cause this? | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | maksimkaa, see the #ubuntu+1 channel for trusty discussions | 12:35 |
| varunendra | vooze, is it 2.4 + 5 GHz mixed mode or 5 GHz alone? | 12:36 |

| varunendra | vooze, if the "swcrypto=1" option didn't have any bad effects, you should try making it permanent and see if it helps connecting quickly on 5 GHz. Reverting would be as easy as deleting a line or an entire file. | 12:49 |
| vooze | hmm good varunendra I'll try that :) | 12:50 |
| varunendra | vooze, I believe Ubuntu 13.04 and later already have an "iwlwifi.conf" file in /etc/modprobe.d. That is the file where you should add a single line (without quotes) : "options iwlwifi swcrypto=1" | 12:51 |
| stefanott | \list | 12:52 |
| varunendra | vooze, that will make the "swcrypto=1" parameter permanent so that it loads at startup. To revert, simply delete the line | 12:52 |

| Anupkumar | if I install it from the software center | 13:03 |
| cfhowlett | !nounity|Anupku | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Anupku: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, 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. Using Natty? See !classic | 13:03 |
| cfhowlett | Anupkumar, I don't know as I don't use unity | 13:04 |

| Anupkumar | varunendra: but i have no idea about the panel | 13:18 |
| varunendra | Anupkumar, Cairo dock offers a complete DE also. You can choose to log into it at the login screen | 13:18 |

| perttu | and command sudo service lightdm stop | 13:38 |
| perttu | and the start again | 13:38 |
| wthielen | s/stop/restart/ actually | 13:38 |
| wthielen | or ctrl-alt-backspace, does the same thing | 13:39 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: sudo editor /etc/fstab | 13:39 |
| Arceye | wthielen, ctrl-alt-backspace kills the gui ? | 13:39 |

| wthielen | yea | 13:39 |
| wthielen | and restarts it | 13:39 |

| vooze | varunendra: that had no effect :/ guess I'll wait for Intel to fix it :) | 13:40 |
| wthielen | sure :) | 13:40 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: also "man 5 fstab" | 13:40 |
| varunendra | Arceye, another option - Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6, to return to GUI - Ctrl-Alt-F7. This will leave your GUI session running in the background, just change the screen from GUI to CLI | 13:40 |
| Arceye | wthielen, ctrl-alt-backspace does nothing :( | 13:40 |

| jKlaus | can anyone help me get my system updating again? | 13:43 |
| Millinder | no wonder canonical dont do that cd anymore for free hahahahahaaa | 13:43 |
| wiebels | tomreyn I have no clue, it is a NAS with 12.04LTS on SSD and 2x1TB in Raid1. On filetransfer the speed fluctuates a lot (even pv / cp from SSD to SSD) and I am spotting a lot of 99.99% IO with iotop | 13:44 |

| tomreyn | wiebels: hmm yeah this doesn't sound good. did you inspect the kernel log? | 13:45 |
| resc_user_2374 | i tried cntl+alt+f1 and i dont know what to do after | 13:45 |
| lvleph | I must be invisible! Every question I have asked in here for the last two months gets ignored. | 13:45 |
| jKlaus | DJones, good man | 13:45 |
| wiebels | tomreyn I checked my dmesg, nothing in kernel log | 13:45 |
| resc_user_2374 | i out in my password and it kicks me right back to the login page | 13:45 |

| resc_user_2374 | yes and that is it | 13:46 |
| wiebels | tomreyn the jdb2/sda process seems to be over-active, as is the flush process | 13:46 |
| jKlaus | Or is it likely so screwed up I should just install a new OS? | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | resc_user_2374, seen a few of these come up today. did it EVER login? what did you change? | 13:46 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, on that screen (ctrl-alt-F1) you had to enter your user id first, then password. Did you do it that way? | 13:47 |
| resc_user_2374 | no it triees and kicks me right back out | 13:47 |

| pityuka44 | Hi, I meet with a problem all the time but only on Debian and Ubuntu. Sometimes X crashesand I find myself watching the login screen. Many people have this problem. Why? | 13:48 |
| resc_user_2374 | yes and i got kendall@kendall-thinkpad-t420:~$ | 13:48 |
| wiebels | tomreyn yes, its ext4 even the RAID1 drives | 13:48 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, that means you successfully logged into the virtual tty | 13:48 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: oh so what you have a is a single ssd which contains the OS and 2 HDDs for storage, got it now. | 13:49 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, are you currently posting here from the guest account on the same machine? | 13:49 |
| wiebels | tomreyn that is correct, and my 2nd partition (extended) on /sda is not aligned | 13:49 |
| max3 | is it possible to make dolphin the default file manager in gnome? | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: hmm well you should back it up and recreate it. | 13:50 |
| Arceye | does the command "sudo service lightdm stop" and "sudo service lightdm start" apply to xubuntu ? | 13:50 |
| lvleph | max3, http://askubuntu.com/questions/84929/how-to-set-up-dolphin-as-default-file-manager | 13:51 |
| max3 | lvleph: it doesn't work | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: it applies to lightdm, the universal login daemon ubuntu + xubuntu use by default | 13:51 |
| max3 | lvleph: http://askubuntu.com/questions/293670/getting-error-when-trying-to-use-dolphin-instead-of-nautilus | 13:51 |
| max3 | lvleph: that's not me but i get the same problem | 13:52 |
| lvleph | max3, there are three solutions | 13:52 |
| max3 | lvleph: none of them work | 13:52 |
| resc_user_2374 | how do i get back into ubuntu | 13:52 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: if your question was whether these commands will effecitvely restart your X server on xubuntu then the andswer is 'yes' | 13:52 |
| tirah4022 | hello | 13:52 |
| resc_user_2374 | i even reset my password and i still cant login | 13:52 |
| tomreyn | hi tirah4022 | 13:52 |
| max3 | lvleph: i have tried exo-tools, i have tried editing ~/.local/share/applications by hand, and i tried setting the mime using xdg | 13:53 |
| brucevein | amd-vi completion-wait loop timed out | 13:53 |
| lvleph | max3, I won't be of much help then. | 13:53 |
| resc_user_2374 | im new to linux | 13:53 |
| brucevein | i'm getting this on boot when i try to install | 13:53 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, thanks, everything else such as game, web , sql server will remain running right ? | 13:53 |
| lvleph | but at least you have confirmed that people can read what I post. | 13:53 |
| brucevein | i believe it has to do with iommu | 13:53 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, are you posting here from a different machine? | 13:53 |
| resc_user_2374 | no | 13:53 |
| wiebels | tomreyn as the problem also occurs on the raid drives I suspect the alignment is not the culprit, however i was not aware that the SSD had an unaligned partition | 13:53 |
| lvleph | How do I change suspend hooks? Specifically, I need to run a script after resuming from suspend. | 13:53 |

| varunendra | resc_user_2374, then? Guest session from Ubuntu on the same machine? | 13:54 |
| resc_user_2374 | yes but i cant do anything in guest | 13:54 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: anythning which depends on the graphical output may fail | 13:54 |
| resc_user_2374 | dont have the right permissions | 13:54 |
| tirah4022 | like the partition is created and then when I click install it gets wiered | 13:54 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: servers (which usually don't have graphical output) should continue to operate fine | 13:55 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, I'm not sure it'll work, but please open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T or from dash | 13:55 |
| resc_user_2374 | im dual booted and windows is giving the blue screen | 13:55 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, I don't think any of those items I listed are dependent on gui | 13:55 |
| himanshu | hi, Can I get some names of twitter client(GUI) that 'works' normally on ubuntu 13.04 ? | 13:55 |
| lvleph | I know of a web user interface | 13:56 |
| lvleph | lol | 13:56 |
| resc_user_2374 | after i open the terminal what do i do after | 13:56 |
| tirah4022 | any help? | 13:56 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, Does this command work - "df -h" ?? | 13:56 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, does it show you the free space on root (/) ? | 13:57 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: yes i'm not sure about this either. i've had similar issues with ext4 and massive I/O load and a very busy jbd process, as had many other people. i didn't really find a reliable answer on the cause, nor on how to overcome it without loosing features you actually want, though. | 13:57 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: i don't know for "game", but the rest should be fine | 13:57 |
| wiebels | tomreyn but did you solve it in the end? or did you revert to ext3? | 13:57 |
| resc_user_2374 | i can try but i would have to reboot agaon | 13:57 |
| resc_user_2374 | again | 13:57 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: i passed management of that system on to someone else ;-) | 13:58 |
| wiebels | tomreyn ah, well thats no option as its located in my own basement :P | 13:58 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2374, does that command return nothing in the terminal? | 13:58 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, I know the game server will be fine :) Just trying to make the move form winXP running as a server to ubuntu, so gathering information before I stary | 13:58 |
| Arceye | start* | 13:58 |
| resc_user_2374 | im going to login here on a different pc so i can do it while im talking to you | 13:59 |
| resc_user_2374 | brb | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: you should definitely consider installing some monkeys in your basement. | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: sounds liek a good way to go. | 14:00 |
| max3 | is it possible to make dolphin handle the desktop in gnome? ie when i double click a folder on the desktop dolphin launches instead of nautilus? | 14:01 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, last but very important is ftp. currently I run a 3rd party ftp server in xindows, it allows me to set up multiple users with different permissions, these users do not have accounts on the actual box, is this possible under linux as everthing I have read indicates not possible | 14:02 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: yes it's possible. what you're looking for is an ftp server with _virtual_ users | 14:05 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, thanks again | 14:05 |
| wiebels | tomreyn I'm rather confident its the Ext4 journal service that messes with my drives.. and indeed it looks like a common yet unsolved issue | 14:05 |
| === [O]UltimateNate is now known as UltimateNate | ||
| tomreyn | Arceye: welcome. i guess you probably want something like proftpd. it's rather straight forward to setup if you're already into apache httpd since the configuration file structure is similar. understanding the ftp protocol surely helps, though. there the most common options for storing virtual user accounts is in either flat text files or a mysql database | 14:08 |
| tirah4022 | hi | 14:08 |
| === RCheesley_ is now known as RCheesley | ||
| tirah4022 | when I am partitioning my hard drive the /dev/sda does not have the hard drive beside it | 14:09 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: it probably is that service, the question would be why it is, and answering this would likely require in-depth understanding of ext4, which i don't have. | 14:09 |
| spaceneedle | ubuntu 14.04: The Broadcom driver won't install. When this happens, I install the dkms and broadcom debian packages from the dvd--but this failed too. | 14:09 |
| wiebels | tomreyn and neither do I, it used to be an issue with the older kernel though. I might just leave it and wait for the next LTS | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: sure if you can wait for two months. or try a newer kernel, or upgrade to 14.04 now, or upgrade to 13.10. | 14:11 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, I am currently reading about VSftpd, I honestly have no clue how to set any of this up in lunux yet ( just gathering information ) , as I am a very green linux newbie ( but learning ). | 14:11 |
| wiebels | tomreyn I'm not to fond of upgrades, I tend to do a fresh install.. however might just upgrade | 14:11 |
| wiebels | tomreyn I do want to thank you though ;). | 14:11 |
| papa_ | hello world | 14:12 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, is there a ftp server which I can set up using a gui for configuration ? | 14:12 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: maybe upgrade this time, and do a fresh install when 14.04 is stable (so like 2/3 months after release) | 14:12 |
| spaceneedle | I had to use the b43-fwcutter method to install the Broadcom driver for my card for Ubuntu 14.04. | 14:12 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: and you're welcome | 14:12 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: hmm, i'm not sure about the gui configuration, but vsftpd is not the right thing to start with if you are setting up an ftp server on linux for the first time | 14:14 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, ok, it was just the first answer that came up on askubuntu when I searched for ftp server with virtual users | 14:14 |
| wiebels | tomreyn another thing; although I have a high IO the system does not use any memory on file copy, thats suspicious right? | 14:15 |
| resc_user_2602 | ok varunendra is back | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: i'd go with proftpd or pureftpd | 14:16 |
| resc_user_2602 | im back | 14:16 |
| Arceye | tomreyn, going to read about them now :) | 14:16 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, on a different system now? | 14:16 |
| resc_user_2602 | yes and i have the terminal open | 14:16 |
| resc_user_2602 | on my laptop | 14:16 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, you mean the one that you got with Ctrl-Alt-F1? With your own login? | 14:17 |
| tomreyn | Arceye: vsftpd is the better option in the long term if you have a small user base and need a very specific configuration, though, i'd say. | 14:17 |
| resc_user_2602 | yes its my laptop | 14:17 |
| resc_user_2602 | im on the home computer now | 14:18 |
| trijntje_ | what is the preferred graphical method to remote to another ubuntu machine? | 14:18 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: i would think that's an in kernel process, but i'm afraid i don't really know | 14:18 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, so how much space do you have left on your root partition (check the output of "df -h")? | 14:19 |
| tomreyn | wiebels: i.e. you may not get to see a "cp" process with a given larger RSZ if that's what you were looking for | 14:19 |
| max3 | is it possible to make dolphin handle the desktop in gnome? ie when i double click a folder on the desktop dolphin launches instead of nautilus? | 14:19 |

| === Cydrobolt is now known as Guest65426 | ||

| resc_user_2602 | -rw-r--r-- 1 guest | 14:29 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, you have to log in as kendall, were you not able to do that? | 14:29 |
| resc_user_2602 | no that is what im having issues with | 14:30 |
| jozefk | crabcoke, persistence? | 14:30 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, I meant via "Ctrl-Alt-F1" at the login screen | 14:30 |

| ubottu | automatik: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 14:54 |
| resc_user_2602 | nope i tried both and neither worked | 14:54 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, check if you have two "Old.." files now (ls -l Old.*) | 14:55 |
| automatik | ok,.. I'm trying to run a program called 'balsa' | 14:55 |
| automatik | it requires one have gtk+ installed | 14:55 |
| automatik | the first thing i want to know is,.. is it actually installed | 14:55 |
| resc_user_2602 | yes i see two file that say old | 14:56 |
| OerHeks | ibrahim, the wiki does not say so, i don't know as i have no apple machine | 14:56 |
| glitsj16 | automatik: check if it is installed with: apt-cache policy balsa | 14:57 |
| resc_user_2602 | im just going to redo it | 14:57 |
| resc_user_2602 | lame | 14:57 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, try rebooting and retry login. If failed again, loginto the virtual tty again (Ctrl-Alt-F1), and check if the .Xauthority and .ICEauthority files were generated | 14:57 |
| dabiidii84 | hi | 14:57 |
| dabiidii84 | any one can help me? | 14:58 |
| resc_user_2602 | ok | 14:58 |
| varunendra | resc_user_2602, by the way, did you try "Ctrl-Alt-F7" to get back to GUI? | 14:58 |
| dabiidii84 | i want to instal ubunt in windows virtual but | 14:58 |
| automatik | glitsj16: ok | 14:58 |

| Tom1 | i am getting permission denied error when mounting truecrypt file in ubuntu. | 14:59 |
| varunendra | dabiidii84, you didn't tell us the story after the "but.." | 14:59 |
| Tom1 | varunendra: i am getting permission denied error when mounting truecrypt file in ubuntu. | 14:59 |
| dabiidii84 | sorry i think no one was reading | 14:59 |
| dabiidii84 | so lol the thing is when the instal begin dont leave the first step | 15:00 |
| hoihe | Sorry for repeating, but what does it mean in the terminal when there is no input line? I mean, the line with the cursor is blank. It happened after inputting my password after a longer operation rsync /home /media/Storage | 15:00 |
| dabiidii84 | dont load any thing | 15:00 |
| varunendra | dabiidii84, just post the details of your problem. People will respond if they have an answer | 15:00 |
| varunendra | Tom1, was this truecrypt file created in Windows? | 15:00 |
| hoihe | Does it mean that the operation is "running"? | 15:01 |
| fhenning09 | I have a question; Is anyone here familiar /w Ubuntu on a macbook? | 15:01 |
| Tom1 | varunendra: no its was created under ubuntu only. | 15:01 |
| dabiidii84 | :( | 15:01 |
| varunendra | hoihe, yes, the process is not complete yet - that's what it means | 15:01 |
| fhenning09 | If so why will every button and function work with the exception of button 2 on the touchpad | 15:01 |
| hoihe | Ah, alright. Thanks, I was worried it was crashing or system hung up. | 15:02 |
| cypher-neo | hoihe, If you would like the rsync process to be verbose, to show that the process is running and what files are being transferred, you can (next time) use the command "rsync -izvrdop [source] [destination]" | 15:03 |
| varunendra | dabiidii84, which step the installation hangs on? The Purple screen, or after that? | 15:03 |
| hoihe | I will, thanks again. | 15:03 |
| dabiidii84 | the purple | 15:04 |
| cypher-neo | hoihe, You should also read "man rsync" to determine which command switches are the ones you need. That command I showed you is the one I use. :) | 15:04 |
| davidb | exit | 15:05 |
| dabiidii84 | e choose the lenguage and then just stay the screen purple with ubuntu 13.10 and the dots dont stop | 15:05 |
| hoihe | Alright | 15:05 |

| varunendra | dabiidii84, how much RAM have you allocated to the VM? And which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? | 15:07 |
| === DK is now known as Guest53903 | ||
| dabiidii84 | 1024 mb and thversion is 13.10 | 15:11 |
| varunendra | dabiidii84, I think you get the language screen in the Advance boot menu only, where you also get the option to "Check disc for defects, Test Memory.." etc. | 15:13 |
| varunendra | dabiidii84, so was that the screen where you chose an option? ("Try" or "Install"?) | 15:15 |
| calvin1 | trying out weechat. nice. | 15:16 |
| automatik | glitsj16: paste.debian.net/83599 | 15:24 |
| automatik | i don't know what it means exactly | 15:24 |
| glitsj16 | automatik: Installed: (none) .. means the package (i assume balsa) isn't installed .. the Candidate info shows you what package version is installable .. so if you want to install balsa, either use your regular add/remove software GUI like 'Software center' or use the terminal command: sudo apt-get install balsa | 15:27 |

| wonderworld | dabiidii84: are you using the 64bit or the 32bit iso? you need to create a 64bit vm, if you want to use the 64bit iso | 15:28 |
| varunendra | wonderworld, if they got the language selection screen, it means the architecture was right, else the machine won't even start loading the OS | 15:30 |
| wonderworld | it starts grub. it hangs after trying to boot the kernel. you will see language selection with the wrong architecture | 15:30 |
| varunendra | wonderworld, pretty sure you won't it's the screen AFTER syslinux (or isolinux) has done its job. There is no Grub booting at all in the live session. | 15:31 |
| wonderworld | ok i see. i used to have exactly the same problem with a 64bit vm. was no isolinux though | 15:32 |
| Fogan136 | bonjour | 15:32 |
| varunendra | wonderworld, that would be the case if you try to boot a preinstalled virtual disk in a VM with wrong architecture. | 15:33 |
| wonderworld | yes, that was my situation | 15:34 |
| varunendra | wonderworld, so.. just testing or do you actually run your Ubuntu only in VMs :D | 15:34 |
| wonderworld | no it was actually a debian vm server, i moved from one machine to another | 15:35 |
| wonderworld | didn't work on the new machine, becuase the CPU didn't have vt-x extensions. | 15:36 |
| wonderworld | host machine is 64bit. host os is64 bit but it could run 32bit vms only. | 15:37 |
| varunendra | wonderworld, that sometimes sucks. I once wasted about a whole day creating a Remastersys image of a 64 bit installation, then created a Live USB with it. Later I realized it was useless on most of the computers I had to use it on, because they were 32 bit :( | 15:37 |
| varunendra | since then, I always remember to use 32 bit iso if I'm intending to create a live USB with it. | 15:38 |
| wonderworld | yes, i reinstalled the whole machine, because i thought it would be more work to port it somehow :( | 15:39 |
| varunendra | definitely :) | 15:39 |
| MastermindL | hi | 15:41 |
| varunendra | Hi MastermindL | 15:42 |
| MastermindL | can you help me with one thing? I'm super new at ubuntu | 15:42 |
| virtuaposta | MastermindL, ask please | 15:42 |
| varunendra | !ask | MastermindL | 15:42 |
| ubottu | MastermindL: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 15:42 |
| MastermindL | I'm using ubuntu on a USB stick, and I am trying to access a HDD, I had no problem at first, I could mount it then I wanted to format it to FAT and unmounted it and did that, but now it doesn't appear in the devices thing, I can't find it anywhere anymore | 15:44 |
| MastermindL | after unmounting and formatting it, it has banished | 15:45 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, is it a Live USB or a full install? | 15:46 |
| MastermindL | live usb | 15:47 |
| moondoggy | Can someone recommend a printer that will work on Ubuntu 13.04? | 15:47 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, please give us the pastebin link of the output of "parted -l" | 15:47 |
| moondoggy | And/or 12.04? | 15:48 |
| virtuaposta | MastermindL, also include fdisk -l output in pastebin that varunendra asked for | 15:49 |
| MastermindL | how do you get to the command line? that was also another question I had lol | 15:49 |
| OerHeks | moondoggy, see openprinting database or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters | 15:49 |
| virtuaposta | MastermindL, search / open terminal or Alt+F2 type terminal and enter :D lol | 15:50 |
| varunendra | moondoggy, I have used Samsung SCX4300, it's an MFP but probably outdated. Works on both 12.04 and 13.10 though | 15:50 |
| G__81 | Hi. I see reports stating that Ubuntu Unity 8 would be QML based so does that mean all default applications (gnome-terminal, Nautlius etc) would be changed to Konsole, dolphin and so on ? | 15:50 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, Ctrl-Alt-T | 15:50 |
| geirha | With Alt-F2 you'd run x-terminal-emulator, not terminal | 15:50 |
| virtuaposta | geirha, thanks for corrections, yeah it should be "gnome-terminal" as i suspect that MastermindL must be using desktop edition :) | 15:51 |
| moondoggy | Thanks, OerHeks and varunendra . | 15:51 |
| OerHeks | !14.04| G__81 | 15:51 |

| === ZIPY_ is now known as ZIPY | ||
| varunendra | geirha, virtuaposta it is "gnome-terminal" in the Alt-F2 command box | 15:52 |
| virtuaposta | varunendra, ^^ | 15:52 |
| varunendra | :D | 15:52 |
| geirha | varunendra: Yes, though Alt+F2 -> "x-terminal-emulator" will work in "all" the desktop environments | 15:52 |
| G__81 | OerHeks: i have gone through that but post 14.04 whats the take ? | 15:52 |
| MastermindL | nothing happens when I type "parted -l" or "fdisk -l" | 15:53 |
| varunendra | yup, that's true (and a life saver actually) | 15:53 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, both of them need "sudo" | 15:53 |
| virtuaposta | MastermindL, is at hunt today varunendra and geirha :D lol | 15:54 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, sorry I missed that earlier. The commands would be : "sudo parted -l" and "sudo fdisk -l" | 15:54 |
| virtuaposta | MastermindL, please run the command with sudo as varunendra suggested | 15:55 |
| MastermindL | ok ok there's something here, I can see the drive here, let me figure out how to copy this and put it on pastebin since the computer doesn't have access to the internet by itself | 15:55 |
| moondoggy | OerHeks: Any thoughts on a newer Samsung? The 1520 is supposed to work on 12.04 and 13.04, but it's no longer available. | 15:56 |
| virtuaposta | moondoggy, supposed to work means? it's not getting detected kind of? | 15:56 |
| moondoggy | I haven't tried. I need to order one ASAP, and I have had trouble returning items because they don't work on Linux. | 15:57 |
| lvleph | can someone give me a link or something that tells me how to switch two key location using xkb? | 15:57 |
| moondoggy | Amazon/whoever want you to use Windows. | 15:57 |
| virtuaposta | no as such restrictions observed from my end till date... can you explain more about the issue moondoggy? | 15:58 |
| bekks | moondoggy: Works fine on Linux here. | 15:58 |
| moondoggy | bekks: Whick printer works? | 15:59 |
| lvleph | I have never had any issues with printers on linux. moondoggy | 16:00 |
| bekks | moondoggy: I was referring to "Amazon/whoever want you to use Windows". | 16:00 |
| lvleph | And my last Laser printer was a Samsung SCX something | 16:00 |
| lvleph | Samsung actually tends to provide drivers for linux | 16:00 |
| deborgia | yep.. | 16:01 |
| moondoggy | Oh, gotcha, bekks. | 16:01 |
| moondoggy | Wow, Amazon actually says that the 2165W works on linux. I didn't think they'd heard of linux. | 16:01 |
| moondoggy | Thanks, friends. | 16:01 |
| white-bird88 | thats fine | 16:02 |
| lvleph | Amazon using a linux kernel in the Kindle. | 16:02 |
| varunendra | moondoggy, have you also tried ThinkPenguin? https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/catalog | 16:02 |
| white-bird88 | @lvleph Kindle? | 16:02 |
| white-bird88 | ereader or tablet? | 16:02 |
| lvleph | white-bird88, I think both. I could be wrong. | 16:03 |
| lvleph | It would make more sense on the tablet though. | 16:03 |
| MastermindL | this is a nightmare, it seems it only recognizes two USB ports and I need one for the USB stick and the other for the mouse, can't even use a keyboard, so I see no way to copy that file out of the computer | 16:03 |
| white-bird88 | yes.. but kernel is essential to both devices though! | 16:03 |
| crabboke | I accidentally clicked "kill" on one of the program in the taskbar and now desktop items and bg have dissapeared | 16:04 |
| crabboke | how do I get them back? | 16:04 |
| lvleph | Yep, the Kindle Fire is based on Android apparently. | 16:04 |
| lvleph | according to this anyway http://www.pocketables.com/2012/05/with-the-linux-30-kernel-ice-cream-sandwich-is-finally-ready-for-the-kindle-fire.html | 16:04 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, how many ports does this system have? | 16:04 |
| lvleph | and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindle_fire | 16:05 |
| virtuaposta | crabboke, considering you referring top taskbar/panel, run this in terminal "sudo killall unity-panel-service" | 16:05 |
| white-bird88 | yes | 16:05 |
| lvleph | yep white-bird88 even the paperwhite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle | 16:06 |
| MastermindL | it has 12 but ubuntu only seems to recognize the two frontal ones, on the other hand when I go to the bios or something it recognizes them all and I can use computer and mouse no problem | 16:07 |
| lvleph | Can someone give me a link or something that tells me how to switch two key location using xkb? | 16:07 |
| white-bird88 | see.. thats the power of linux. :D | 16:07 |
| moondoggy | varunendra: I did try that page, but they only list inkjets right now. | 16:07 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, is "Legacy USB" support enabled in the BIOS? Although I don't understand why it won't recognize in normal mode. | 16:08 |
| lvleph | moondoggy, Samsung laser jets definitely work. Atleast the SCX series | 16:08 |
| moondoggy | Thanks, lvleph, all. | 16:09 |

| MastermindL | I don't know, the motherboard is new though | 16:10 |

| varunendra | MastermindL, how many of these are USB 2 ? | 16:10 |
| varunendra | lvleph, too late now :P | 16:11 |
| MastermindL | hmmm most of them are 2 | 16:11 |
| MastermindL | it seems the ones tht work are usb 3 | 16:11 |
| lvleph | varunendra, the latest Kernels support USB 3 | 16:12 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, and the output of "lsusb" shows how many "hubs" ? | 16:12 |
| lvleph | since 2.6.31 in fact | 16:12 |
| varunendra | lvleph, even 2.6 supports them I think, perhaps that... | 16:12 |
| varunendra | yup :P | 16:12 |
| MastermindL | omg, I found another one that works, the usb 3 work apparently | 16:13 |
| lvleph | Well then that is great | 16:13 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, 12 can be confusing :) | 16:13 |
| lvleph | Of all the ones that you want working USB 3 is the one | 16:13 |
| MastermindL | yeah | 16:13 |
| MastermindL | ok but it's weird | 16:13 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: What's the make/model of the motherboard? | 16:13 |
| lvleph | I am guessing gigabit | 16:14 |
| MastermindL | gigabyte | 16:14 |
| lvleph | boom! | 16:14 |
| MastermindL | yes | 16:14 |
| MastermindL | how did you know? | 16:14 |

| MastermindL | 990XA-UD3 | 16:14 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, check "lsusb". Sometimes even though it is a USB3 port, it internally connects the device to a USB 2 hub, and that "internal switching" causes a lot of problems, at least delays | 16:14 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: What CPU is installed? | 16:15 |

| MastermindL | FX6300 | 16:15 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Your issue a well-known one for AMD-based systems. The Input/Output devices have their own Memory Management Unit (IOMMU). | 16:16 |
| sasa_ | can install on xubuntu this game: http://www.playdeb.net/install/vdrift ? | 16:16 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Many buggy BIOS/Firmware implementations cause problems especially for memory-mapped built-in devices | 16:16 |
| varunendra | TJ-, certanily not ALL AMD based systems! I love the Asus boards :D | 16:17 |
| MastermindL | well that sucks, anyway that's the thing: http://pastebin.com/tZ4vQiBA | 16:17 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: There are two things you need to do: 1) Enter BIOS and ensure that "IOMMU" option is *disabled* 2) Add to the kernel's command-line the option "iommu=soft" | 16:18 |
| MastermindL | that 2064MB HDD is the one that it can't recognize | 16:18 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: " sudo sed -i 's/\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=".*\)\("\)/\1 iommu=soft\2/' /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub" | 16:18 |
| TJ- | varunendra: Those with IOMMUs suffer quite alot because the firmwares are often incorrectly declaring to the kernel the memory-mappings | 16:19 |
| varunendra | TJ-, I guess I'm lucky enough to not having encountered yet :) | 16:20 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, do you have any important data to rescue on that disk? | 16:21 |
| MastermindL | no, actually I want to use that disk to rescue data from the other disk | 16:21 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, try Gparted to recreate a fresh partition table, then partition(s) | 16:21 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: I'd bet the reason the disk drive isn't reconised is also due to the IOMMU issue, since the controller likely can't be addressed. This issue can also prevent network interfaces working correctly. | 16:22 |
| TJ- | s/reconised/recognised/ | 16:22 |
| L0UDmouth | TJ-: I know | 16:22 |
| === gac_ is now known as gac | ||
| L0UDmouth | TJ-: You can't do that | 16:23 |
| MastermindL | I see, so if I disable it on the bios maybe it's fixed? | 16:23 |
| MastermindL | And what is gparted? | 16:24 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, Alt-F2 > type "Gparted". It'll come up itself :) | 16:24 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: As I said, do those 2 steps, and if the issue is IOMMU then all the devices will work correctly | 16:25 |
| MastermindL | ok I had to use sudo, I am in this gparted thing and it seems I can see that device here | 16:25 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, it is Graphical frontend to the "parted" program - a disk partitioning tool. But try what TJ- suggested first. I'd be curious to see the result :) | 16:25 |
| MastermindL | ok | 16:26 |
| MastermindL | "IOMMU controller" is already disabled | 16:28 |
| varunendra | sounds like a wise decision by Gigabyte :P | 16:28 |
| MastermindL | hmmm I just noticed something, here it says "onchip sata port 4/5 type" is set as IDE, that HDD is on the port 4, would that be a problem? | 16:29 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, are all those disks connected by yourself? Sometimes a pair of ports are meant to be only used for raid configuration, usually differently coloured | 16:30 |
| mustmodify | Using ubuntu server, when I go to SSH, some domains I frequently use tab-complete, others do not. Why? | 16:30 |
| MastermindL | yes, I think this raid think is deactivated | 16:30 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, that shouldn't be a problem | 16:30 |
| MastermindL | ok | 16:30 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, but you should change it to SATA or AHCI mode to get the full performance | 16:31 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Good, so ensure you have "iommu=soft" on the kernel command line | 16:31 |
| MastermindL | okay so I type: " sudo sed -i 's/\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=".*\)\("\)/\1 iommu=soft\2/' /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub" | 16:34 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Yes, that will change the default boot options to include the soft IOMMU | 16:34 |
| === mwc is now known as Guest64850 | ||
| MastermindL | it doesn't do anything, it says "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 16:39 |

| MastermindL | yes | 16:40 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Ahh, in which case, as the Live ISO starts you need to edit it's boot options for the kernel to add "iommu=soft" manually. | 16:40 |

| shubhamjain | bekks: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.0 or greater is installed." Is what the embedded videos say. | 16:47 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, if what TJ- mentioned can be the reason, then I'm not sure, so I think you should try his suggestion first. That is - try the parameter on live session | 16:48 |
| mustmodify | But if you're looking for IDEs that work with multiple OSes, I'm not sure having a single code-base is a good requirement. | 16:48 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: When the Live ISO starts, and you have the options "Install" and "Try", you can highlight one or the other and then there is a key-press for 'advanced' options (or editing command line) I forget which, and that allows adding options to the kernel command line | 16:48 |
| bekks | shubhamjain: Can you provide a screenshot of that section of chromium? | 16:49 |
| MastermindL | ok | 16:49 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: It's a long time since I've used the live ISOs so they've changed a bit | 16:49 |
| mustmodify | whoever_: consider perenial favorites like sublime, or for more advanced users, vim. | 16:49 |

| TJ- | Meerkat: in the Add dialog do you see 3 input fields: "Key Server Type" (multiple-choice), "Host" and ":" (port) - text boxes? | 16:59 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, that's normal when something is wrong with a partition/drive | 16:59 |

| Seveas | hmm, I have the same, odd | 17:00 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: We need you to show us what it says? But do you see in it "iommu=soft" - if not, then you didn't correctly add that option to the boot command line | 17:00 |

| DaveVE3 | or right click on my name and open a dialog window | 17:05 |
| DaveVE3 | I don't use facebook | 17:05 |
| Seveas | oh, hella lag... | 17:05 |
| MastermindL | varunendra, it stil doesn't let me, it says it has no patition table even after I create it, and I think I did that, yeah | 17:05 |
| Meerkat | TJ-, no, "custom" is the only option in that drop down box. This is what I see: http://i.imgur.com/4XumyV8.jpg | 17:06 |
| MastermindL | partition table: unrecognized | 17:06 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, did it apply the change right away? I don't remember if it does with partition table or not. For partition creation, it needs to "Apply" the changes first. | 17:08 |
| TJ- | Meerkat: I wonder if seahorse expects "/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon" to be running? Check the process list to see if it is there | 17:08 |
| MastermindL | I click apply and it does something, the strange thing is the other HDD seems to make some noise when I do, but the one I am applying it to doesn't | 17:09 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Are you sure you've got the correct disk selected ? | 17:09 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, that's normal. After each change, it probes all the available disks again to be sure it is addressing them correctly. | 17:10 |
| MastermindL | yes I'm sure... | 17:10 |
| cloneG | nobody? | 17:10 |
| MastermindL | and ok | 17:10 |
| chronic | Hi, how can I resolve unmet dependencies | 17:10 |
| mguy | Where should I set TERM=xterm-256color in 12.04? | 17:10 |
| Seveas | chronic: by meeting them :) | 17:10 |
| MastermindL | so the HDD is destroyed? it worked well just a couple of hours ago | 17:10 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, others make 'More' noise because they do have partitions on them. The current one doesn't have much to be tested. | 17:11 |
| Seveas | chronic: generally by disabling broken PPA's you enabled and trying to undo the damage they did to your system. | 17:11 |
| MastermindL | ok ok | 17:11 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, did it ask you which kind of partition table to create? (default is msdos) | 17:11 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: in a terminal do "sudo apt-get install smartmontools" then check the disk health with "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX" where X is the correct drive letter | 17:12 |
| MastermindL | yes I set msdos | 17:12 |
| whoever_ | mustmodify: did i lose you ? | 17:12 |

| Seveas | chronic: as I expected, you have some things installed from a PPA you've since disabled. | 17:26 |
| TJ- | Meerkat: Time to search the bug tracker I think! | 17:26 |
| chronic | Seveas : Which and How to remove those ? | 17:27 |
| Seveas | chronic: or even from newer Ubuntu releases than the precise you have. It's probably easiest to upgrade to 13.10 ig that throws no dependency errors. Otherwse you'll have to manually downgrade a load of packages, which is also tricky. | 17:27 |
| Seveas | chronic: but you basically messed up your system too much for me to want to touch it further. | 17:27 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, I've no experience with this tool, so can't suggest anything. Maybe TJ- can | 17:28 |
| MastermindL | TJ-, the command doesn't work, I don't think it installed it right, the terminal went into a screen that says "postfix configuration" | 17:28 |

| Seveas | brasileiro: try it on another computer, or try it directly plugged into the pc if it now goes via a hub | 17:42 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: also, you might check the kernel log for indications that the disk operation itself is failing. From a terminal you can 'follow' the log file as it is written whilst performing the operation that appears to fail. That way you can associate logged events with the actions you take. "sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log" ... then try partitioning again with gparted and see if there is any obvious error | 17:42 |
| MastermindL | okay btw I just noticed when Gparted loads it says "/dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label" | 17:43 |
| brasileiro | Seveas: already tried in another pc and he's connected directly at the notebook | 17:43 |
| MastermindL | sdb is that drive | 17:43 |
| Seveas | brasileiro: and in another pc it works? | 17:43 |

| joshua__ | i just wish i could dual boot windows and ubuntu | 17:43 |
| joshua__ | but i cant ever get it installed | 17:44 |
| varunendra | MastermindL, is that disk two years old? | 17:44 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: That sounds as if the disk has a non-msdos or GPT partition table layout | 17:44 |
| Seveas | brasileiro: that's really odd. Maybe a usb3 disk on a usb2 port? Try a different port. Or try accessing it from an ubuntu live cd on the other system to rule out a hw problem on the notebook | 17:44 |
| joshua__ | i wonder if it isn't my nic making it difficult | 17:44 |
| cloneG | I followed this thread to install samba4 on ubuntu 12.04: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2146198 | 17:44 |
| cloneG | in this thread I finally found why samba4 session is not starting: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2013-January/089869.html in short it is because I installed LDAP server aswell and both samba4 and LDAP server use the same port! I need to uninstall LDAP server but I fear uninstalling it will remove samba4 ldap module aswell. any advice? | 17:44 |
| MastermindL | 2 years old? more like 10 | 17:45 |
| varunendra | :P | 17:45 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: I'm going to go back to my original suggestion; IOMMU. The symptoms you describe fit perfectly with the issues that no IOMMU raises | 17:45 |

| brasileiro | Seveas: you see.. at another port he appears at lsusb but i can't mount it =/ | 17:45 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: The typical symptom is, the device (disk, network, etc.) is there and the OS sees it, but any communication coming *from* the device is lost | 17:46 |

| TJ- | MastermindL: Don't worry about age; I'm currently working on an 11 year old mobo that can't boot over USB from anything other than floppy-disk images on the USB flash! I'm having to create custom boot installations to make them work | 17:47 |
| MastermindL | lol that's crazy | 17:48 |

| bakteria | Yesterday I bought a gtx 750ti for my htpc (headless 12.04) but I cannot get it to work with the graphicscard plugged in. I booted with nomodeset kernel parameter and installed the latest nvidia beta drivers manually but I still get black screen on boot. | 17:48 |
| MastermindL | anyway this HDD was working perfectly before I formatted it, so it's weird | 17:48 |
| MastermindL | I didn't do anything else | 17:48 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Did you format it from the same motherboard? | 17:48 |
| MastermindL | anyway I have to go now, thanks for all the help and see you later | 17:48 |
| MastermindL | yes | 17:48 |
| brasileiro | Seveas: fdisk doesn't seems to find it.. | 17:49 |
| MastermindL | I did it from the same ubuntu | 17:49 |
| brasileiro | Seveas: only lsusb | 17:49 |
| MastermindL | I format then suddenly it disappears from devices | 17:49 |
| Seveas | brasileiro: which Ubuntu version? | 17:49 |
| brasileiro | Seveas: 13.10 | 17:49 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: Sounds like an incorrect partition table got written | 17:49 |
| MastermindL | and why I can't write a new one? | 17:49 |
| varunendra | TJ-, to me it seems that MastermindL's disk's MBR area is physically corrupt. GParted wrote a fresh partition table successfully (as per its report), but couldn't recognize that itself then. | 17:50 |
| joshua__ | wish i could install ubuntu on my other hard drive | 17:50 |
| varunendra | also, it was the hard disk that is 10+ years old TJ- :) | 17:51 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: I'd do "sudo sgdisk --zap /dev/sdX" to wipe any GPT or MBR or anything else away | 17:51 |
| TJ- | varunendra: Yeah, I've got a crate of MFM/SCSI/IDE drives here (about 40) some dating back to the 1980s | 17:51 |
| Anonymoususa | hello | 17:52 |
| Seveas | brasileiro: some googling turns up an old bug that should be fixed already. Can you try a 13.04 livecd or a 14.04 alpha livecd and see if it works? | 17:52 |
| varunendra | TJ-, is that command similar to "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb" ? | 17:52 |
| TJ- | MastermindL: varunendra something else that could affect the drive, is if the controller is running to fast for it. I've had the need to artificially limit the UDMA speed for some drives | 17:52 |
| TJ- | varunendra: almost, but much faster and more targeted | 17:53 |
| varunendra | TJ-, like wiping out only the first 512 bytes I guess :) | 17:53 |
| TJ- | varunendra: to wipe just an MBR you can so "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1" but for GPT there's a couple of GPT blocks on the disk, and often a protective MBR too | 17:53 |
| varunendra | TJ-, yup, I know GPT is larger, ignored the fact while assuming the command implication :o | 17:54 |
| brasileiro | Seveas: yeap, but that could take a while... you think it's that bug? | 17:54 |
| joshua__ | could a nic like say killer nic be my problem of not getting ubuntu to boot in the live dvd | 17:55 |
| MastermindL | T_T | 17:55 |
| MastermindL | probably tomorrow morning I will go out and buy an external hard drive | 17:56 |
| MastermindL | it will be good to have one anyway | 17:56 |
| varunendra | TJ-, but wouldn't the effect of UDMA speed same before or after the formatting? I mean if the disk was readable previously on the same channel/speed, shouldn't it be considered a compatible mode? | 17:56 |
| MastermindL | and this will solve the situation of having to get those files | 17:56 |

| TJ- | varunendra: It is possible the controller changed things, if that were the issue, I'd think it one of the more unlikely scenarios though | 17:59 |
| MastermindL | no, it's SATA | 18:00 |
| antar | Hi, can anybody tell me how can i update my subl ? | 18:00 |

| joshua__ | is it possible to upgrade to 13.10 from 12.10 lts | 18:01 |
| varunendra | TJ-, I recently experienced a similar USB detection issue on an Asrock board that was doing some kind of internal switching between USB 1/2/3 ports. That was messy | 18:01 |
| jhutchins | antar: What's a subl? | 18:01 |
| antar | jhutchins, Sublime text editor | 18:02 |
| TJ- | varunendra: The ports are usually shared between controllers (USB2/USB3) using a multiplexer | 18:02 |
| === root is now known as Guest1593 | ||
| varunendra | TJ-, it is normal for USB3 ports to connect to USB2 hubs internally when the connected device is detected as USB 2. But switching between USB1/2 part was really messy. | 18:03 |

| === jypie is now known as moho | ||
| antar | D'oh, Unable to locate the package, i installed it using something i forgot | 18:05 |
| varunendra | TJ-, its logic was - connect a port to EHCI when the connected device needs fast speed, but when too many devices were connected and it had to resort to UHCI, it just used to get stuck with that port assignments even across reboots. Then even a single device (USB 2) couldn't be detected if connected to that last port that was connected to UHCI the last time. | 18:05 |
| TJ- | varunendra: The same applies there, the multiplexer plus the ohci and ehci drivers | 18:05 |
| TJ- | varunendra: Buggy mobo :) | 18:06 |
| varunendra | YeahRight, definitely :) | 18:06 |
| jhutchins | Guest1593: We would need to know what repositories you have configured and what package you were trying to update and what packages generated the errors. Just the fact that you got an error doesn't mean much. | 18:06 |

| Giddeon | I have an application that I launch from the launcher. I just installed a new version of the application, but every time I click the icon the old version gets opened. How can I update the icon to launch the new app version? | 18:26 |
| Seveas | petzup: Ubuntu keep old kernels installed until you remove them | 18:27 |
| ikonia | Giddeon: how are you installing the new versions | 18:27 |
| petzup | but this kernel will be now default,yes? | 18:27 |
| pietro10 | yes | 18:27 |
| Seveas | petzup: correct. You can choose kernels when booting | 18:27 |
| pietro10 | speciifcally it becomes the first kernel in the GRUB boot list | 18:27 |
| petzup | okey | 18:28 |
| pietro10 | if you press esc quickly on bootup you can choose an older kernel if something breaks | 18:28 |
| Giddeon | ikonia: I downloaded a file from the app website, then navigated to the directory of the new application and ran ./rubymine.sh | 18:28 |
| petzup | will try this now | 18:28 |
| ikonia | Giddeon: ok, so that's why it's not chananging | 18:28 |

| parapan | hi folks - I want to install 2 linux distributions inside a logical volume - first is ubuntu 12/04, second is kali ....question is ....for kali should I setup a separate swap and separate boot partition ? | 18:28 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | bekks: I see partitions. The one with contains (or contained) the OS, has only strange folders. The other partition (with games, movies and data) is working well | 18:28 |
| ikonia | parapan: don't do that | 18:28 |
| federico_ | thanks OerHeks | 18:28 |
| parapan | ikonia: I'm listening | 18:29 |
| hoodedice | But on bootup into the Windows OS selection thingy, selecting Unetbootin restarts the PC | 18:29 |
| ikonia | parapan: logical volumes will be controlled by one of the OS's that means the other won't see the volume group of the second OS | 18:29 |
| hitsujiTMO | parapan: share the swap, not the boot | 18:29 |
| Giddeon | ikonia: that's how the original application was installed as well. It created the icon and when I started the application I right clicked on the launcher and said "Lock to Launcher". Is there some way I can update the link? | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Giddeon: either a.) talk to the people who wrote it and ask how it should work - as it's not b.) do it manually | 18:29 |
| Giddeon | ikonia: happy to do it manually. Is there a directory somewhere that holds the launcher links? | 18:30 |
| parapan | ikonia: grr so what's the solution "in english" ? | 18:30 |
| hoodedice | Oh wait, I'm using unetbootin to HDD | 18:30 |
| ikonia | parapan: ok - so the honest answer from my seat is "don't do it" - grub2 is not good at dual booting/managing updates to 2 OS's, that's my personal opinion | 18:31 |
| loa | strange in last chrome update it start i see random freezes. | 18:31 |
| bekks | DesesperatedUs3r: So do you have personal data to be restored on the partition with the OS? | 18:31 |
| ikonia | parapan: you can technically do it with seperate partitions - totally seperate and chainloading one grub2 installation from the second | 18:31 |
| ikonia | parapan: however, this is a very poor solution in my personal view | 18:31 |
| parapan | ikonia: so it would be better to have the second OS on a primary partition instead ? | 18:32 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | bekks: Yes I do :( Thats why I want to restore data before I reinstall windows/restore default settings | 18:32 |
| bekks | DesesperatedUs3r: So what are "strange folders" then? | 18:32 |
| ikonia | parapan: doesn't matter if it's primary or logical, but logical volume, no | 18:32 |
| parapan | ikonia: problem is I want to end up with 3 OS's one one drive . . . | 18:32 |
| ikonia | parapan: but I advise you against this | 18:33 |
| ikonia | parapan: use virtualization | 18:33 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: WHat two OSs have you tried it with? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: multiple ones | 18:33 |
| xmetal | did i just see grub is not good at doing two partitions? | 18:33 |
| xmetal | er "did i just read?" | 18:33 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | bekks: If I enter C: right now with ubuntu i see a folder named "[(^_^)]" and another named "RMTemp" | 18:33 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: if your ntfs patition isnt corrupted, you could just install windows on top of it. the old windows files would be moved to windows.old | 18:33 |
| parapan | ikonia: don;t have so good PC ressources ...and I was using kali under virtual ....doesn't have all the features like the hard install. . . | 18:33 |
| bekks | DesesperatedUs3r: And those two folders are the only ones you can see? | 18:34 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | bekks: Yes | 18:34 |
| ikonia | parapan: virtual/physical kali will not change the features | 18:34 |
| jhutchins | parapan: A logical partition isn't really any different from a physical. | 18:34 |
| jhutchins | parapan: I would re-use the swap partition though, there's no reason not to. | 18:34 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | felisfcatus: I think NTFS is corrupted since I can't index any folder with ubuntu in the drive | 18:34 |
| bekks | DesesperatedUs3r: Then testdisk will not help you much, since parts of the MFT of the NTFS were overwritten. | 18:35 |
| parapan | ikonia: jhutchins I mean the virtual doesn't have support for all hardwares like the hard install . . . | 18:35 |
| jhutchins | parapan: I've run both two different distributions and two releases of the same distribution without any trouble. | 18:35 |
| ikonia | parapan: the hardware is virtual - so it will be fully supported | 18:35 |
| bekks | DesesperatedUs3r: Better use a tools like photorec trying to recover file contents. | 18:35 |
| jhutchins | parapan: It can be a little confusing keping track of which system is managing the MBR. | 18:35 |
| xmetal | i have used grub/grub2 on a NUMBER of distros (dont want to get grief by listing them here) and never had an issue | 18:35 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | bekks: Is there a possibility to restore files with photorec? | 18:35 |
| xmetal | worst thing was some of my grub customizations (BG, font-family change) didn't "stick" | 18:35 |
| bekks | DesesperatedUs3r: Thats why I suggested it. | 18:36 |
| xmetal | i still haven't (successfully) gotten grub to boot iso's | 18:36 |
| xmetal | (just to see if ii could do it) | 18:36 |
| ikonia | grub2 will not manage 2 distributions well - the config files are in /etc on "1" distribution, so the other one can not update it, the only way to do it is to chainload the second grub - from the first, which is poor | 18:36 |
| petzup | anyone use bumblebee? | 18:36 |
| parapan | I know the second OS will mess with my first OS .....but how about the third one ??? | 18:36 |
| xmetal | i have never ever had to do that | 18:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | xmetal: use chainload for cds | 18:36 |
| petzup | on my pc it f... up hibernation | 18:36 |
| ikonia | parapan: it will not mess with your OS at all - that is the whole problem | 18:36 |
| ikonia | parapan: it cannot update the grub config | 18:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | xmetal: oh, wait. .iso file? | 18:37 |
| xmetal | the first grub is suppose to boot the other OS... not the grub on the other OS | 18:37 |
| xmetal | yes yes ISO files | 18:37 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Why do you think they will "mess with" each other? | 18:37 |
| xmetal | say "universal Boot CD" or something like that | 18:37 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | bekks: OK :) I needed a confirmation. So I'm the same trouble. How I can run photorec in ubuntu? | 18:37 |
| ikonia | xmetal: no, it can't do that, as kernel updates from the second OS cannot update the grub config on the first OS - which controls grub on the MBR | 18:37 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: since testdisk reveals nothing, just use photorec | 18:37 |
| hitsujiTMO | xmetal: thats almost impossible to do | 18:37 |
| parapan | jhutchins: cause I've done that before and kali installed the customized grub over the ubuntu's original one . . . | 18:37 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Other than reading the boot partitions and adding them to the grub menu, the other installations are just random data partitions. | 18:37 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: just run sudo photorec i think. It's installed with testdisk | 18:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | xmetal: altho, you could prob dd it to a partition, then chanload that partition | 18:38 |
| jhutchins | parapan: That's not the OS messing with the other OS - that's YOU choosing to install a different grub. | 18:38 |
| whoever | hi all can someone assist me with installing youCompleteMe plugin for vim, i have vundle installed but don't see how to add the youcompleteme bundle | 18:38 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | felisfcatus: I couldn't install testdisk | 18:38 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | felisfcatus: (and I'm running ubuntu from live CD, of course) | 18:39 |
| jhutchins | parapan: YOU can go back and change that too by running grub-install from whatever install you want to manage the MBR> | 18:39 |
| parapan | jhutchins: Ok, so the option will be not to install grub for kali ? then should I do the bootable flag to ON or OFF when installing kali ??? | 18:39 |
| jhutchins | parapan: The bootable flag is for DOS. | 18:39 |
| xmetal | yeah i figured that out hitsujiTMO :P | 18:40 |
| xmetal | just wanted to see if i could do it | 18:40 |
| xmetal | there is something wrong with your grub then | 18:40 |
| xmetal | "first grub" doesn't boot "Second grub for second OS" ... grub boots (always has here) the OS's | 18:40 |
| parapan | jhutchins: I don;t remember well but I don't think there is an option of not installing grub during kali install | 18:40 |
| jhutchins | parapan: If the kali installtion doesn't allow you to skip grub, install it to the partition instead of the MBR, or install it and let it run the MBR. Doesn't really matter. | 18:41 |
| parapan | jhutchins: how come the first install ( ubuntu) will know to index the second install ? - kali ? | 18:41 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: does that ubuntu has internet access? just run apt-get install testdisk | 18:41 |
| ikonia | parapan: if you don't install grub when installing kali-linux - how do you expect to boot kali-linux | 18:41 |
| xmetal | that may work ... was trying a "direct" iso file first | 18:41 |
| parapan | ikonia: I don't - that's why I'm asking :D jhutchins??? | 18:41 |
| petzup | how to get on which kernel i am right now? | 18:41 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: else, use http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 18:41 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Run update-grub. | 18:41 |
| xmetal | i am in one distro that i just installed yesterday that installed grub ... i need to get back into my other distro and redo that grub | 18:42 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | felisfcatus: Yes, it does have internet access. I tryied to do that and it returns: "E: Couldn't find packet testdisk" | 18:42 |
| xmetal | you have kahi and ubuntu? .... you should easily be able (if you install Kahi second and DONT install it's grub) boot ubuntu and update Ubuntu's grub | 18:42 |
| xmetal | it should see Kahi | 18:42 |
| xmetal | <~~ wasn't paying attention to the question/conversation 100% ... sorry | 18:43 |
| parapan | As I see, the working grub will be the one installed by the last distribution ....the last distrib will "see" the other installed distros and it will index them .....if I will revert to the first installed grub, than I will not be able to boot the other OS's . . . | 18:43 |
| jhutchins | parapan: No. | 18:44 |
| ikonia | forget "reverting" | 18:44 |
| ikonia | what about when you update the kenrel in the second OS, the first OS (which controls grub) will not know about the update, | 18:44 |
| xmetal | you can boot into the "first" (i am taking Ubuntu) | 18:44 |
| xmetal | and UPDATE grub's configurations | 18:44 |
| parapan | xmetal: that's what I'm asking ....I don't think I can "skip" the grub install on kali ... | 18:44 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | felisfcatus: Is gparted better solution than photorec? | 18:44 |
| xmetal | and 9 times out of 10 (at least for me) it will see the new OS | 18:45 |
| xmetal | never had an issue with that here | 18:45 |
| ikonia | xmetal: so what you are saying is, every time you update the second/third OS - boot into the first OS and manually update the grub config" | 18:45 |
| jhutchins | parapan: If you allow the installer to install grub to the MBR, that grub will control the boot. If you don't, then the original grub will still control it, but won't initially see the new install until you run update-grub. When you do that _from_the_original_install_, it will detect the new bootable kernel and add that to the menu. | 18:45 |
| xmetal | you will not be able to get into kali (why do i spell it "kahi" ?) right away but as long as ubuntu boots, update grub's configurations and it should "detect" kali was installed | 18:46 |
| xmetal | and update the menu accordingly | 18:46 |
| ikonia | parapan: here are your options - a.) accept grub2 is a poor solution for dual booting b.) accept the manual work arounds needed ongoing to manage your dual boot system | 18:46 |
| ikonia | parapan: personally - grub2 is unacceptable to me to do this, if you disagree, carry on | 18:46 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: Do you recommend lilo instead? | 18:46 |
| ikonia | xmetal: that is the worst way of managing a dual/tripple boot system ever, | 18:46 |
| xmetal | you could boot into the "first grub OS" and update that or install the new OS's grub and then that should detct the first one | 18:46 |
| xmetal | either way | 18:46 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: I recommend "not doing it" | 18:46 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: I think you are wrong. | 18:47 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: Lots of people do this all the time. | 18:47 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: or using virtualizations | 18:47 |
| ikonia | I don't believe grub2 is an acceptable way of managing a dual boot system | 18:47 |
| hitsujiTMO | parapan: or : instal kalis grub bootstrap to a partition + chainload that in grub in ubuntu. | 18:47 |
| xmetal | i do it on many different PC's | 18:47 |
| xmetal | grub 2 is easy | 18:47 |
| xmetal | lol | 18:47 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: In fact, it's how most maintainers and developers run multiple systems, | 18:47 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: no, lots of people break it, few people do exactly what you are saying and are able to manage it | 18:47 |
| * xmetal jhutchins | 18:47 | |
| xmetal | oops | 18:47 |
| xmetal | sorry | 18:47 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: Trust me, I've been at this for a while. Multi-boot works just fine. | 18:47 |
| * xmetal agree's with jhutchins | 18:48 | |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: loosely, it recover files based on their types. You'll prolly lose the folders hierarchy and you may not be able to recover everything | 18:48 |
| parapan | ikonia: jhutchins xmetal OK, but the update grub will be done only once after installing the second/third OS or have to be done each time the kernel is updated on each OS ??? | 18:48 |

| ki7rw | grrr, all my outgoing e-mail is being bounced by spamhaus - new filters in force - i guess i'll have to shut down my mailserver | 18:48 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: havin to boot into the first OS to update the second/third OS config is just unacceptable | 18:48 |
| xmetal | nonono | 18:48 |
| xmetal | you boot into first OS ONCE and update grub | 18:48 |
| xmetal | thats it | 18:48 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: Judging by the traffic on freenode very few people have any problems with it. | 18:48 |
| ikonia | xmetal: no, - you have to update it after each kernel update | 18:48 |
| xmetal | "settings" (detecting Kali for example) will stick | 18:48 |
| ikonia | xmetal: if you update the kernel in the second OS it CANNOT update the grub menu controlled by the first, you need to boot into the first to update it again | 18:49 |
| xmetal | "update-grub" is the command i think | 18:49 |
| DesesperatedUs3r | felisfcatus: OK i try. I dont need Ubuntu tu run it, right? I just restart and boot from usb | 18:49 |
| ikonia | xmetal: sounds like you don't really understand it | 18:49 |
| jhutchins | xmetal: Right, update-grub. | 18:49 |
| ikonia | but in the FIRST os , | 18:49 |
| coreire | Whats the easiest way to copy a ubuntu install from a hard drive to a usb flash drive? Is it possible to do it from a system while the os is running? | 18:49 |
| ikonia | so you have to do this each time the second/third OS does a kernel update, boot into the first update nad rebuild the grub config | 18:49 |
| jhutchins | Think of how many people have run Windows and Linux on the same systme for years. | 18:49 |
| hitsujiTMO | ikonia: if you install the grub for kali to a 1mb partition, you can chainload that in ubuntus grub, so you don't need to keep it up to date | 18:50 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: windows/linux is a different dual boot setup - that works fine | 18:50 |
| xmetal | i am one of them, jhutchins | 18:50 |
| xmetal | :) | 18:50 |
| ikonia | hitsujiTMO: yes, I also said that is the only way to do it, chainload | 18:50 |
| xmetal | many many different distros | 18:50 |
| xmetal | and grub works fine on all of them | 18:50 |
| hitsujiTMO | ikonia: ahh yeah sorry, cool | 18:50 |
| xmetal | that i have tried | 18:50 |
| ikonia | xmetal: sounds like you dont understand it | 18:50 |
| jhutchins | xmetal: I never did that much. I had dedicated linux boxes, then I ditched windows completely about ten years ago. | 18:50 |
| xmetal | good idea, jhutchins | 18:51 |
| xmetal | lol | 18:51 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: I would say the person who doesn't know how to make it work is the person who doesn't understand it. | 18:51 |
| xmetal | lol @ i am senching this is going nowhere | 18:51 |
| parapan | ikonia: jhutchins xmetal > just to make this COMPLETE confusing for everyone I must inform you that my 3rd OS will be W7 =)) | 18:51 |
| xmetal | resorting to that | 18:51 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: who is that ? | 18:51 |
| ikonia | parapan: the windows dual boot is not a problem, it's just multiple linux distributions | 18:51 |
| xmetal | no problem, pa... i have a triple boot here | 18:51 |
| xmetal | :) | 18:51 |
| xmetal | win7 being one of them | 18:51 |

| jhutchins | parapan: afik you will have to re-install grub after you install windows. It does NOT respect other operating systems. | 18:52 |
| Guest30335 | xmetal, windows will not be a problem; dual boot with two different linux versions will be (or you use chaned grubs as ikonia suggested) | 18:53 |
| xmetal | really if you pdate the kernel on "OS 2" (second linux) ... and want to use grub from the first OS... going into the first OS and running "update-grub" is easy | 18:53 |
| coreire | felisfcatus: Boot something like clonezilla off the 2nd usb? | 18:53 |
| morsnowski | it is my experience that installing windows first and ubuntu second is the cleaner way | 18:53 |
| * xmetal sighs | 18:53 | |
| ikonia | xmetal: it is not an acceptable way of managing a system - to control the second OS from the fist. | 18:53 |
| felisfcatus | coreire: boot the stuff you want to install | 18:53 |
| xmetal | so you want a grub for each OS | 18:53 |
| xmetal | grub boots to grub to grub | 18:53 |
| xmetal | hmm | 18:53 |
| xmetal | not even sure if that's possible, lol | 18:53 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: You are wrong. You may prefer not to do it that way, but it is perfectly acceptable and supported by most distribution support channels. | 18:54 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: like i said you could install testdisk on your ubuntu if you dont want to download another os | 18:54 |
| ikonia | chainloading while not great, at least will not require constant maintenance | 18:54 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: as I've said approx 5 times - this is my personal opinion | 18:54 |
| coreire | felisfcatus: I want to move my currently working ubuntu install from my hard drive to a usb stick though. Can I do that? | 18:54 |
| xmetal | i would get "Super Grub CD" (or i think there is a similar tool on the same site) | 18:54 |
| Guest30335 | ikonia, second that | 18:55 |
| xmetal | that fixes grub if you install Linux Last | 18:55 |
| xmetal | oops | 18:55 |
| ikonia | super grub cd has nothing to do with it | 18:55 |
| ikonia | as it's just grub | 18:55 |
| parapan | ikonia: what you're right about is that I'm an bit of -"average" user .....but I'm pretty sure I'll damage the MBR ....and the grub ...first time I've fixed with a direct tool ....boot-repair-disk | 18:55 |
| xmetal | good god | 18:55 |
| xmetal | i smell a troll | 18:55 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Actually, you won't. | 18:55 |
| ikonia | parapan: I don't see any reason why you would cause any damage that could not be repaired | 18:55 |
| felisfcatus | coreire: i'd just do a fresh reinstall | 18:55 |
| xmetal | anyway, i would get SuperGrubCD (again there is another simiiar tool on the same site) that fixes grub if you install WINDOWS last | 18:56 |
| jhutchins | parapan: It's up to you. ikonia will support chainloading if/when you can find him, there are several of us who will support multiple installtions. | 18:56 |
| parapan | jhutchins: I was almost sure ....that will probably fix the first install boot and I'll loose the other os's | 18:56 |
| felisfcatus | coreire: you might be missing stuff that is required to boot from usb | 18:56 |
| jhutchins | parapan: I prefer the simpler solution. Making it more complex provides more opportunity to break. | 18:56 |
| xmetal | run that once and you can get bgack into linux | 18:56 |
| xmetal | :) | 18:56 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Several of us have told you that we've done this and that doesn't happen. | 18:56 |

| jhutchins | parapan: Yes, share the swap. | 19:00 |
| ram_ | hai | 19:00 |
| Guest30335 | parapan, /boot on their own partitions, /swap can share the partition since never the two OS will be up at the same time | 19:00 |
| parapan | jhutchins: OK how can I share that /swap ?? | 19:01 |
| Guest30335 | parapan, just select the same partition on the installation process | 19:01 |
| jhutchins | parapan: You just point both installs to the same partition for swap. | 19:01 |
| ram_ | which is best for downloader | 19:01 |
| jhutchins | parapan: As a matter of fact, if you have a swap partition, most distributions will detect and use it, so you'd end up using both swaps if you created a second one. | 19:01 |
| jhutchins | parapan: You do need to do manual partition setup. | 19:02 |
| jhutchins | Guest30335: There is no reason for the average user to have a seperate /boot. A single OS partition has a lot of advantages for new users. | 19:02 |

| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: do a sudo apt-get update first | 19:03 |

| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 19:06 |
| jhutchins | parapan: If you do not choose to install grub to the MBR - to /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda6 - then the original grub will still be in control. | 19:07 |
| felisfcatus | DesesperatedUs3r: just try gparted live then | 19:07 |
| parapan | Guest30335: I've figured this one thanks > | 19:07 |
| Guest30335 | parapan: jhutchins this is it. when you run "aptitude safe-upgrade" automatically will update its own GRUB, you don't have to worry about that | 19:07 |
| jhutchins | parapan: If kali does install to the MBR, it should still let you boot to ubuntu. You can either just live with that, or boot to ubuntu, grub-install /dev/sda, update-grub, and ubuntu will be in charge again. | 19:07 |
| parapan | jhutchins: and if I cannot avoid installing the grub of kali ? | 19:07 |
| jhutchins | Guest30335: upgrades only update grub if they install a new kernel. | 19:08 |
| Guest30335 | parapan: thats the advantage of have a chained grubs... eachone is updated independently from their respective OSs | 19:08 |
| Guest30335 | jhutchins: yeah, thats what parapan whas asking | 19:08 |
| jhutchins | parapan: The second example I gave. Let kali control it or re-install from ubuntu. | 19:09 |
| Guest30335 | jhutchins: parapan have to go. parapan good luck with your setup. Please backup everything you don't wanna loose before start ;) | 19:10 |
| jhutchins | parapan: You're going to end up reinstalling grub after you install windows anyway, just pick which install you do it from. | 19:13 |
| parapan | Guest38215: ok thanks | 19:13 |
| parapan | jhutchins: k, but after reverting to ubuntu's grub I stiil have to manually update the grub of each OS with aptitude safe-upgrade ? | 19:17 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: I guess my main objection to chainloading is that there's no automated way to set it up that way, so it ends up being more complex for a new user to do. | 19:17 |
| ikonia | jhutchins: it's a very good point to raise | 19:17 |
| jhutchins | parapan: No, you only need to do update-grub on whatever system last installed grub. | 19:17 |
| parapan | jhutchins: and that will take care of all other OS's ? sounds too simple | 19:18 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: Once they understand bootloading better, they can always switch to that if they find the default inconvenient. | 19:18 |
| Goobsly | Testing. | 19:18 |
| ikonia | parapan: one OS controls grub, every time you make a change to the other OS's you need to update the config from the controlling OS | 19:18 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Each OS takes care of it's own internal setup. You point grub to the root and the kernel and that OS takes it from there. | 19:19 |
| parapan | ikonia: that was my understanding also | 19:19 |
| jhutchins | parapan: Actually, it's usually root, initramfs, and kernel in the grub config. | 19:20 |
| parapan | jhutchins: but the grub config file will have the setup of all other OS's correct / | 19:20 |

| brasileiro | anybody knows how can I update my BIOS using Ubuntu? I have a Dell Inspiron 17R SE and tried the firmwaretoll --update without luck... | 19:34 |
| cow5843 | When Ubuntu 14.04 releases, will I be able to upgrade my 14.04 to final? | 19:35 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, Some bios updates have a bootable iso you can put on a cd/usb, have you looked for this? | 19:35 |
| cow5843 | without resinstalling | 19:35 |
| yeats | cow5843: yes - it will happen via normal updates | 19:35 |
| cow5843 | yeats: thanks | 19:35 |

| ubottu | cow5843 for future trusty issues: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 | 19:35 |

| brasileiro | Beldar: i'm having trouble mounting an external hdd and this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1154739 ended because the guy had an outdated bios.. | 19:42 |
| brasileiro | Beldar: i'm having the same problem described and can't figure out what to do... | 19:42 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1154739 in linux (Ubuntu) "0421:026a [Gigabyte Z77-DS3H] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep eab59c8c" [Medium,Expired] | 19:42 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, I did find this dell ubuntu bios wiki. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS | 19:42 |
| matt444 | My computer keeps wanting to connect to the router with an IP address that is reserved to another computer. If I try to reserve a different IP for it in the router it won't conect | 19:42 |
| brasileiro | Beldar: yeap, I saw that, but keeping in mind that updating the bios is kinda dangerous I was wondering if anybody could second that information... | 19:43 |
| jhutchins | cow5843: Generally most of the Debian derived distributions like Ubuntu will support upgrading to the next release, while RedHat distributions including Mandriva and Suse will not. | 19:43 |
| jhutchins | brasileiro: I would stick to BIOS updates that come from the manufacturer - from Dell in this case. | 19:45 |
| felisfcatus | ^ | 19:45 |
| === kat is now known as Guest75078 | ||
| felisfcatus | matt444: reserver an ip that is outside the dhcp range | 19:46 |
| parapan | jhutchins: ikonia -thanks for support -i saved the conversation and i'll come back if needed .... | 19:46 |
| brasileiro | jhutchins: so the solution is to install windows an update from the exec that dell is showing at the website? | 19:47 |
| felisfcatus | brasileiro: you could brick your pc if not done correctly. like perma brick unles you're good with reflashing bios chips. | 19:48 |
| felisfcatus | brasileiro: so i recommend stick to th recommended way of reflashing the bios, or not update at all unless it's necessary | 19:48 |
| jhutchins | brasileiro: If Dell has a BIOS update it's a good idea to install it. Dell usually supplies instructions on how to do so, and these days it's possible from Linux. | 19:48 |
| OerHeks | matt444, sounds like that ip is reserved by the MAC adress, clone that mac adress and you'll be fine | 19:49 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, So how are you mounting the external, and is it in fstab as well? | 19:49 |
| jhutchins | felisfcatus: It really depends on the hardware. In the early 2000s it was almost always necessary to update the BIOS on IBM Thinkpads when you got them. | 19:49 |
| brasileiro | jhutchins: the only way i found is throught windows http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-17r-se-7720?driverId=FJY72&osCode=BIOSA&fileId=3290558924&languageCode=EN&categoryId=BI | 19:49 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | I've had a couple of security breaches recently, both originating from the "ubuntu" user on the system. The second was simply someone logging in, first try with the ubuntu user via ssh, the thing im wondering is, is there any reason for the ubuntu user to have a shell at all? Also, | 19:50 |
| jhutchins | brasileiro: Follow Dell's instructions and you should be fine. If not, you can turn to Dell for support. | 19:50 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: ubuntu user doesn't exist on an install | 19:50 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: that's only on livemedia | 19:50 |
| brasileiro | Beldar: nop, it only appears at lsusb, and dmesg returns the same thing as the bug thread | 19:50 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | there were no services running with the ubuntu user, so that couldn't have been the source of the hack | 19:51 |

| brasileiro | Beldar: i can't mount it.. it doesn't show up in fstab, only in lsusb... fdisk -l returns nothing related to it... yes, it's ntfs | 19:52 |
| jhutchins | brasileiro: Dell usually has a bootable image you can use to flash the BIOS - then again, I deal mostly with Dell Servers. | 19:52 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: its getting installed with some package that my lxc-install script is installing | 19:52 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: which package is providing that package | 19:52 |
| brasileiro | jhutchins: thanks! i'll keep looking for this bootable option.. | 19:52 |
| * jhutchins thinks he's missing part of the thread. | 19:52 | |
| ikonia | that script sorry | 19:52 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, Could be as simple as the external needing a chkdsk, I would do that, but yes use windows to install the bios from dell. | 19:53 |
| DaveVE3 | jhutchins, are you in canada? | 19:53 |
| hitsujiTMO | brasileiro: does it show ip in lsblk? | 19:53 |

| brasileiro | Beldar: it's working fine at another machine that runs on windows | 19:54 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: lxc, the lxc install script is what sets up the guests, it only installs some very basic packages, like npt,iptables,dnsutils,etc | 19:54 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: what package provides that script | 19:54 |
| DaveVE3 | ls -lR *abcdef | 19:54 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, That is windows linux can be finicky with file systems. | 19:54 |
| jhutchins | shift_tim: find /path -name "*1234" | 19:54 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: its a script modified from the lxc package, are you familiar with lxc? | 19:54 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: what package provides that script | 19:55 |
| jhutchins | shift_tim: Oh, -name "*.??????" | 19:55 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: that is the actual package name | 19:55 |
| hitsujiTMO | brasileiro: whats the output of: ls /sys/block | 19:55 |
| DaveVE3 | ls -l |grep abcdef | 19:55 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, If you have access to another windows I would chkdsk /r that external, or just run the right click on iot in computer that is a chkdsk basically in windows. | 19:55 |
| brasileiro | Beldar: but doesn't it need to appear at fstab for me to run fsck on it? | 19:55 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, you do not run a fsck on a ntfs, I said chkdsk | 19:56 |
| brasileiro | hitsujiTMO: sdb is there | 19:56 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: are you familiar with lxc? | 19:56 |
| Beldar | brasileiro, fsck is linux chkdsk is windows | 19:56 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: yes, but that isn't the question, I'm asking you "what is the name of the package that provides that script" | 19:57 |
| OerHeks | ubuntuuserhappy, "The default template does a bare bones Ubuntu 10.4 install, creates a user “ubuntu” .... < http://derek.simkowiak.net/lxc-ubuntu-x/ | 19:57 |
| brasileiro | Beldar: i'll try that, but giving that there's a bug related to it, I don't think that's all | 19:57 |
| jhutchins | There are disk check tools for ntfs in linux, but it's preferred to do it from Windows if possible. | 19:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | brasileiro: whats the output of: ls -ld /sys/block/sdb/sdb1 | 19:57 |
| jhutchins | fsck.ntfs is available, as are ntfscheck and checkntfs. | 19:57 |

| hikmat | Ubuntu is not taking kickstart parameter at boot prompt from web | 20:00 |
| hitsujiTMO | brasileiro: with that it sounds like there is no partition table on the device. (hence why it doesn't show up in fdisk). you most likely have written the filesystem directly to the disk | 20:00 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | jhutchins: no i did not | 20:00 |
| jhutchins | ubuntuuserhappy: You should probably re-do the install and set it. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | the ubuntu users default password is normally ubuntu | 20:01 |
| jhutchins | ubuntuuserhappy: That or reinstall and lock the account with passwd -l ubuntu | 20:01 |
| ikonia | hence why I want to know what package is installing that script | 20:01 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | jhutchins: yes, that is the plan, but I would still like to know how it happened in the first place | 20:01 |
| brasileiro | hitsujiTMO: actually the disk is kinda differente, it's an Iomega ScreenPlay, but this http://linuxhcl.com/browse/product?id=6977 says it works under linux | 20:01 |
| brasileiro | hitsujiTMO: basically the Iomega ScreenPlay acts like an external hdd + video player all in once | 20:02 |

| conall | Hi, Im getting a dell latitude e5430. Ubuntu provides a 12.04 image for it http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201202-10548/ However some of the specs are different (ie. i7 processor instead of i5). Will this image still work? | 20:06 |
| ikonia | basketball: good job I didn't then | 20:06 |
| ikonia | OerHeks: if thats still the case for the saucy packages, maybe worth looking into a bug report then | 20:06 |
| Beldar | conall, I would use the 12.04.4 image. | 20:07 |
| jhutchins | Ok, kickstart is supported in Ubuntu. Didn't know that. | 20:07 |
| jhutchins | hikmat: That's usually a network problem for us. | 20:07 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | oerkecks: thanks, i guess I'll just have to add a line to the script remove log in privilages for the ubuntu user | 20:07 |
| conall | Beldar: do you mean the standard image? | 20:08 |
| OerHeks | ikonia, that url gives a selfmade script from github AFAIK, not official | 20:08 |
| jhutchins | hikmat: Have you verified that the ks file is accessible from the subnet you're using? | 20:08 |
| Beldar | conall, Yes, so your concern is will ubuntu run on this computer? | 20:08 |
| ikonia | OerHeks: thats interesting, so an official package is pushing out that shell script ? | 20:08 |
| DaveVE3 | ubuntuuserhappy, just take the hash out of the /etc/shadow file | 20:08 |
| hikmat | Jhutchins: yes it's accessible. | 20:08 |
| DaveVE3 | then it can't be logged into | 20:09 |
| hitsujiTMO | conall: the link is to the standard 12.04.2 iso. you'be be better off trying the 12.04.4 iso. especially with the newer hardware | 20:09 |
| conall | Beldar: Thanks for the reply btw. I'm fairly sure it will, but im just wondering which image would be better to use | 20:09 |
| DQSII | so i had a question when it comes time to upgrade to 14.04 am i gonna have to remove gnome 2 fallback agian cause i dont like that i just use unity and compiz and xfce and kwin | 20:09 |
| jhutchins | conall: Linux is generally good at adapting to any Intey-type hardware. Occasionally there are problems with network cards or advanced video, but they can be worked out. | 20:09 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | daveVE3: yeah that might be the best way to go about it | 20:09 |
| DaveVE3 | then any programs that need that user id will still work | 20:10 |
| OerHeks | ikonia reversing that odd user ubuntu, google came up with that script, so it needs some working i guess | 20:10 |
| Beldar | conall, Understandable, if it were me I would make sure to clone what is there, and if it's windows have a recovery disc made. | 20:10 |
| ikonia | OerHeks: I think you need to know if the official ubuntu package is giving that script or not | 20:10 |
| ikonia | otherwise it's just a pointless relationship to try to create | 20:10 |
| jhutchins | hikmat: In that case you might be able to figure out what the problem is by checking alt-F2 through Alt-F4 or using a live CD. It's probably not setting up the NIC correctly. | 20:10 |
| OerHeks | no it does not, or i must be confused | 20:11 |
| ikonia | OerHeks: ok - so why are you mentioning that script in relation to ubuntuuserhappy's problem | 20:11 |
| conall | hitsujiTMO , jhutchins, Beldar: thanks for the reply guys, I suppose ill stick with the standard package then. Thanks | 20:11 |
| jhutchins | hikmat: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html | 20:12 |

| hikmat | actually I have installed ubuntu in fully automated mode using preseed file but I want perform some extra task like setting up ssh file in home folder | 20:14 |

| basketball | how do i view only what i have said and what people have said to me | 20:16 |
| hikmat | Jhutchins: when I pass kickstart file it continues to install but does not perform any task that I had specified in ks file | 20:16 |
| hikmat | jhutchins: That link has conflicting statement: The method supported by Anaconda of adding a plain "ks" boot parameter to work out the location of the Kickstart file from a DHCP response is not yet supported by the Ubuntu installer. | 20:16 |
| hikmat | What does that mean? ubuntu doesn't support ks parameter | 20:17 |
| jhutchins | hikmat: I would think it means it can't get the kickstart file location from DHCP. | 20:18 |
| jhutchins | hikmat: so you can't just tell it "ks", it has to be "ks=http://path.to.server/file" | 20:19 |
| hitsujiTMO | hikmat: what docs are you following? i think most have best luck with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 20:19 |
| OerHeks | basketball, search your chatlog for your name, or ctrl + F in xchat to search | 20:20 |

| hitsujiTMO | hikmat: is your network up at that point? | 20:20 |
| hikmat | yes | 20:21 |

| OerHeks | coventry, does your (usb)keyboard not work to give the encryptionkey ? | 20:29 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | iconia: ive confermed. Running lxc-create -t ubuntu (the lxc package provided template) creates the ubuntu user with password ubuntu | 20:29 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: log a bug - mark it as a security bug | 20:30 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: unless the goal is that you are meant to change the password/delete the user upon login | 20:30 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | iconia: it warns you when you when you install it, but it get lost when installed with the common scripts, either way, dumb, where do i report it as a bug? | 20:31 |
| ikonia | !bugs | ubuntuuserhappy | 20:31 |
| ubottu | ubuntuuserhappy: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 20:31 |
| mortrca | My /etc/resolv.conf file has three nameserver entries. I thought having three in there meant that each nameserver would be queried until a match is found, but only the first entry in the list is queried. | 20:31 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: it looks like its supposed to be something like that | 20:31 |
| mortrca | How can I get queries to fall back on another server when the first one on the list fails? | 20:32 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: maybe worth checking the documentation then, as it could be uer error | 20:32 |
| ikonia | user | 20:32 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: no matter what, its a terrible idea to create a default user/password on what is almost always going to be a server install | 20:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | mortrca: afaik its so that if it cannot access the first server it will try the second. not that if it cannot find | 20:33 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: not really, you need a default user/password to login, if you've not read the docs, it's user error, if it's not documented, then it's a bug | 20:33 |
| mortrca | hitsujiTMO: Okay, I guess that makes sense | 20:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | mortrca: theres no reason why the primary, secondary, or tertiary dns's should differ | 20:34 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: its a bad idea no matter what, there are other ways to accomplish that, prompting the user, or requiring and install parameter to create username/password | 20:36 |
| ubuntuuserhappy | ikonia: its common enough that bots are searching for ubuntu servers with the ubuntu/ubuntu user/pass combination to root kit them | 20:36 |
| ikonia | ubuntuuserhappy: sure there are better ways, if you want to log it, log it | 20:36 |
| jhutchins | ubuntuuserhappy: Without knowing more about the situation I would agree with you, but I'd be a bit surprised if that were really the default. | 20:41 |

I can mount the encrypted drive from a rescue disc by following the cryptsetup instructions "tact" gives in this URL.

| Beldar | quants, The best questions here were asked by jhutchins can you answer these, "how did you load the iso to the usb, and have you checked the md5sum" | 21:16 |
| coventry | hikmat asked whether my keyboard is screwing up the passphrase: I'm using the same keyboard (the one built into the netbook) during rescue mode, so it's not a hugely likely explanation. | 21:17 |

| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: then i would uninstall the nvidia named packages and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: you may need the remount command again | 21:56 |
| guntbert | hikmat: thats difficult to read in the channel - better use a pastebin | 21:56 |
| mmf | quants, Ignore my last link and check this one instead: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/using-unetbootin-to-create-a-linux-usb-from-linux/ | 21:56 |
| gogy | <Beldar> DO you mean i shouldn't have installed aircrack suite under ubuntu ?? | 21:57 |
| mmf | quants, go to method 2, as you already downloaded the iso. | 21:57 |
| Beldar | gogy, You can do what you want, however the support of getting it to work/crack is not here is all. | 21:57 |
| Beldar | gogy, The install part is supported if needed, but the use is not is all. | 21:58 |
| gogy | <Beldar> it's not working means it's not been installed correctly !! | 21:59 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest36689 | ||
| Beldar | gogy, Just a fine line of support is all. We don't know how you will use it, like to check your own stuff, or crack a neighbor or someone in the general public, so we have limitations. | 22:01 |
| LeeMerriman | ActionParsnip: How do I remove the Nvidia packages | 22:01 |
| gogy | <Beldar> I am doing penetration testing at my home in my AP , | 22:03 |
| olskolirc | are you on Kali gogy? | 22:04 |
| Beldar | gogy, I have never used it so can't help there, my responses have been to point out the limitations the channel has is all. | 22:04 |
| gogy | <olskolirc> no | 22:04 |

| ubottu | gogy: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 22:04 |
| OerHeks | gogy, you need to do some reading, not all wireless adapters/drivers support those testingtools | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | awk {'print $2'}` | 22:06 |
| LeeMerriman|2 | ActionParsnip: Well, I deleted nvidia-* and deleted X11.conf and I'm back with a GUI now, so there's that.. | 22:06 |

| quants | Beldar: this sucks! | 22:07 |
| quants | Beldar: Im too tired to focus, thanks for your help but ill have to get this sorted another time :) | 22:08 |
| Beldar | quants, Can be frustrating, if you have any friends dual booting I would work with them. | 22:09 |
| LeeMerriman | ActionParsnip: Do I try installing them again or? | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: that will take you back where you were a minute ago..... | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 22:10 |
| Beldar | quants, Just getting the iso on the usb and booted is the easiest part, you may have to do some more work that is much harder. For example I would bet the HD has 4 primary partitions, so you will have to move things around to get a ubuntu installed. | 22:11 |
| LeeMerriman | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: does the system have a make and model? | 22:12 |
| LeeMerriman | ActionParsnip: If you mean mine, it's a custom-built gaming PC. | 22:12 |
| hikmat | guntbert: thanks | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: i see. Not sure. You'll probably need the propriatary video driver to make it run better. | 22:14 |
| LeeMerriman | ActionParsnip: I downloaded from the nvidia website, but it's a .run file and I have no idea what to do with that so.. | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: if you feel brave, you could try the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh more stable) | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: if you drop to root recovery mode you can run that file from nvidia, it is a binary. You'll need to mark it executable | 22:16 |

| MastermindL | TJ-, I have an idea to save my drive: what if I install ubuntu on it and see what happens? it seems it is letting me do it | 22:20 |
| LeeMerriman | Ben64: Is there a driver i nthe repo somewhere that isn't going to explode X again? | 22:20 |
| Ben64 | LeeMerriman: define "explode" | 22:21 |
| LeeMerriman | Ben64: ActionParsnip had me install nvidia-latest or something similar and all I had after that was a blinking _ until I deleted X11.conf and uninstalled nvidia-* | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Grzy7316: try the boot option: radeon.blacklist=1 | 22:23 |

| === code_zombie_ is now known as code_zombie | ||
| ActionParsnip | Grzy7316: changing between Ubuntu and Kubuntu will not make it boot diffetent. Under the hood they a 100% the same, only the default desktop is different. That bit never loads so is not a fix | 22:24 |

| Grzy7316 | I have looked at it before | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: its a 3rd party package source. A websearch will tell you this. Not used the internet to research new terms in a ling time either? | 22:27 |

I installed the CD boot helper because the laptop wouldn't boot from my flash drive and installed ubuntu on /dev/sda6 with swap space on /dev/sda5. Anyways, I installed Ubuntu and it isn't showing up in the boot menu. Is the linux partition style not recognized by Windows? What can I do to get Ubuntu working? | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | LeeMerriman: you are asking questions which you can find out online rather than tie up helpers when its something you can so easily find out yourself. | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | julianmia: XP has about 90 days support left. Why not take this opportunity to get rid | 22:30 |
| julianmia | ActionPartnership: I'm donating the computer | 22:31 |
| LeeMerriman | And now I remember why I switched away from Ubuntu. Dicks everywhereeeeeee | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | julianmia: you can use a burning software to make a liveCD of the ISO you downloaded? | 22:31 |

| CygnusX1 | Om boot, I get the *ERROR* mismatch in gmch_pfit.lvds_border_bits (expected 32768, found 0) | 22:36 |
| julianmia | CyngusXL:me too | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | CygnusX1: are there any bugs reported? | 22:36 |
| basketball | hey my pc only has 1 gb of ram if i add more swap space does that increase ram | 22:37 |
| daftykins | no | 22:37 |
| CygnusX1 | yes, I have seen it a lot but no fix | 22:37 |
| daftykins | basketball: it increases the potential for you to pull your hair out at an incredibly slow PC | 22:37 |
| Beldar | basketball, No it increases swap | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | CygnusX1: i suggest you subscribe to one and add a "this affects me too" comment | 22:38 |
| Beldar | basketball, You have to add more memory to have more memory. | 22:38 |
| mybuntu | win 1 | 22:38 |
| basketball | Beldar, how do i add virtual ram like in windows | 22:39 |
| CygnusX1 | ok | 22:39 |
| greeter | i never really understood how swap space worked... truthfully i followed an article to set my swap size :-S | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: you will want at least 2Gb swap. With 1Gb RAM I would swap from Gnome to LXDE if you are using Gnome | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | greeter: do you know about page files in Windows? | 22:39 |
| TJ- | CygnusX1: julianmia It is a known issue and those Intel driver bugs are still being worked out as we speak; they affect Linux 3.13 as well | 22:40 |
| Beldar | basketball, never heard of it, and it can't be even close to what ram is in it's speed. Find the max the computer allows and buy it. | 22:40 |
| julianmia | yeah | 22:40 |
| basketball | ActionParsnip, i want to be able to run another instance of ubuntu in vm | 22:40 |
| CygnusX1 | Thank you TJ | 22:40 |
| greeter | afraid not ActionParsnip, i haven't used windows since 2003, forgotten most of what i knew | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: withn1Gb RAM you will struggle | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Greeter: RAM fills with data and applications. The swap is then used. Data is sapped from the RAM to the swap space on the disk and the data to be worked on is moved to RAM. | 22:41 |
| nikolam | I have trouble deleting one BTRFS subvolume (I am now on 13.10, but it is leftover form 12.04->12.10 upgrade), it is called "@apt-snapshot-release-upgrade-quantal-2012-11-20_09:07:40" and I can not delete it | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | greeter: when the stuff in swap is needed, some of the data in RAM is swapped to the swap space and the data is moved from swap to the RAM | 22:42 |
| Beldar | nikolam, You on a live cd/usb doing it? | 22:42 |
| greeter | ok, hence the name swap | 22:42 |
| ecdhe | has anyone here written a ./configure file before? | 22:42 |
| nikolam | Beldar, no, I am booted from that BTRFS | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | greeter: why do you think your drive thrashes when you run a lot of applications? | 22:42 |
| basketball | ActionParsnip, where is ram cheap | 22:42 |
| TJ- | CygnusX1: julianmia For the background see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/7/452 | 22:42 |
| Beldar | nikolam, You have to have in dismounted to delete. | 22:42 |
| ecdhe | As in, `./configure && make' ? | 22:43 |
| Beldar | it* | 22:43 |
| greeter | i've never given it much thought to be honest. my computer is so old that i can't run a lot of applications anyway | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: everywhere. You can get another 1Gb for the price of 2 beers. | 22:43 |
| Grzy7316 | using radeon.blacklist=1 still did not do the trick. I am still getting a black screen no backlight | 22:43 |
| nikolam | Beldar, you think I could delete it if I boot from live media? Since i have active @ as boot subvolume | 22:43 |
| basketball | ActionParsnip, how much is ram | 22:43 |
| nikolam | ok then Beldar | 22:43 |
| Beldar | nikolam, Can't be deleted if mounted at the least, use a live cd | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: about 10 - 15 pounds for a gig or two | 22:43 |
| basketball | us | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Grzy7316: you could try: nomodeset | 22:44 |
| nikolam | Ok, I will use live CD, but I don't understand how it is mounted, when I use @ mounted at / | 22:44 |
| Grzy7316 | will try that next | 22:44 |
| basketball | ActionParsnip, what is swap | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: wat do you mean 'us' | 22:45 |
| julianmia | ActionParsnip:lots of errors like no such file or directory or can't open file. | 22:45 |
| Beldar | nikolam, If I understand you, you are on the partition you want to delete am I correct? | 22:45 |
| hewhomust | united states | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: virtual memory on the drive used when physical ram fills up | 22:45 |
| basketball | so can i use that to run vm | 22:45 |
| nikolam | Beldar, System is booted from @ subvolume, like it supposed to. And ther is one other subvolume, leftover snapshot from previous upgrades | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: yes but your drive is dog slow compared to ram. It will thrash like mad and both host and guest OS will run badly | 22:46 |
| greeter | basketball: it seems to me if running a vm, you should never use more than half of your physical ram if it can be avoided. that offers best performance | 22:46 |
| nikolam | it is not partition what is a matter. Btrfs have unlimited number of subvolumes, separate mountable file systems and one happens to be root, thet is @ | 22:46 |
| Beldar | nikolam, I have never used that file system, hardly anyone here has as well so all I can say is a mounted partition wont delete. | 22:46 |
| basketball | greeter, ubuntu takes 500mb so 500 + 500 = 1 gb | 22:47 |
| MastermindL | guys, do you have any ideas about how to access a HDD that shows partition table as unrecognized and I can create partition table on gparted because it says unrecognised disk label ? | 22:47 |
| basketball | greeter, i dont have that] | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: cpuld use Lubuntu :-) | 22:47 |
| MastermindL | can't* | 22:47 |
| nikolam | Beldar, ok thank anyway, but since it could be able to use it by default during install in 14.04, you should get used to it. | 22:47 |
| greeter | i use lubuntu because i thought regular ubuntu required at least 1 gig of ram. i only have half that | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | basketball: to get any sort of performance you'll need more RAM | 22:47 |
| Beldar | nikolam, lol, what a bogus statement good luck. | 22:49 |
| Beldar | btrfs will not be a default in ubuntu for a very long time | 22:50 |
| Grzy7316 | When I put nomodeset into the parameters on booting, it goes through the splah screen and then leaves me at a terminal. Its progress, but when I try tostart x server, I get Fatal server error, no screens found | 22:51 |
| nikolam | Beldar, well it could be in SUSE enterprise, Oracle Linux and I think RedHat. and I got some confirmation before, it could be used by default in 14.04, so.. :P | 22:52 |
| nikolam | I have it since 12.04 but upgraded to 12.10 at a time for soem features (live migration from raid0 to raid1 :P | 22:53 |
