[00:00] does Ubuntu have advanced cat recognition? [00:00] hoverboard: yes. It recognizes cats as the supreme rulers of the earth and automatically fulfills their every wish. For more discussion on cats, join #ubuntu-offtopic :) [00:01] Seveas, no this really happened [00:02] Seveas: yay! the upgrader is running again! [00:02] kevin_: which command are you at? [00:02] dpkg -- configure -a === djanatan_ is now known as djanatan [00:03] you're not out of the water yet, your system will be inconsistent and maybe unbootable until apt-get dist-upgrade finishes cleanly [00:03] but this should go a long way towards that [00:03] Seveas: you totally rock. thanks so much for helping me out with this :) [00:03] cool cool [00:03] kevin_: don't thank me yet. Only when it's all dont, you may hit more problems. [00:03] err, done, not dont :) [00:06] Seveas ok, it looks like it's finished [00:06] kevin_: ok, next up is apt-get -f install [00:07] ok so i'm trying to ssh (scp) into this ubuntu box using pubkey auth. i've got a .ssh folder (700) and an authorized_keys file (600) with the pubkey in it, but i'm still getting asked for password [00:08] Seveas: ok, that went fine. nothing to install or upgrade [00:08] thoraxe: check /var/log/auth.log (Ubuntu's equivalent to /var/log/auth) for details [00:08] kevin_: then apt-get dist-upgrade [00:09] Seveas: yep, same [00:09] anyone please look at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013359/ [00:09] kevin_: ok, check whether /etc/apt/sources.list only references the release you wanted to upgrade to [00:09] goodwin, lucid desktop is eol [00:09] Seveas: perfect, got it thanks [00:10] Seveas: all saucy now :) [00:10] goodwin: do i have to play "GUESS THE COMMAND" ? [00:10] goodwin: if you're still on lucid, it may be easier to reinstall. Upgrading something that old will be painful. [00:10] daftykins: it's apt-get update :) [00:10] sudo apt-get install --upgrade scrapy [00:10] heh ^_^ [00:10] Seveas: ruined the game :( [00:11] Beldar: how to remove lucid? [00:11] goodwin, remove? [00:12] whats the end goal [00:12] Seveas: ok, unless you think there is anything else to check, i'm going to reboot to see if it's all fine [00:13] kevin_: yeah, time to cross your fingers and reboot! [00:13] Good luck! [00:13] Seveas: i don't get you [00:13] Seveas: see you on the other side! [00:13] goodwin, It's hard to tell what you are doing, can you give us an outline? [00:13] goodwin: that's because you didn't order any [00:14] Beldar: sudo apt-get install --upgrade scrapy [00:14] goodwin, lucid does not have repo access, upgrade or fresh install a supported release. [00:14] goodwin: you're on a really outdated version of Ubuntu, install a new version. [00:14] Seveas: i work on 12.4. is it lucid? [00:15] goodwin: no, 12.04 isn't that old. But you do have ancient repos enabled. Can you run this command for me and pastebin the output: more /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} | cat [00:15] goodwin, you have a lucid refrence in your first post in the link. [00:16] Hello everyone! [00:18] goodwin, can you pastebin. grep -vr "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/} [00:18] Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013411/ [00:19] goodwin, in your list deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner [00:20] goodwin: ok, remove the last 8 lines from your sources.list and you're good to go [00:20] those lines are all obsolete [00:21] Seveas: same problem [00:21] goodwin: you'll need to sudo apt-get update [00:22] hello friends [00:22] Seveas: howdy, Guest1234/Kevin_ here. this is my actual irc ident :) [00:22] when doing a dpkg --configure -a, it hangs to what seem slike indefinitely with >>> update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) [00:22] Seveas: reboot seems to have worked fine [00:23] roasted: ps auxf | pastebinit [00:23] skinofstars: awesome [00:23] how do check which version of ubuntu I run? [00:23] Seveas: thank you very much for your help :) [00:23] goodwin: lsb_release -a [00:23] skinofstars: you're welcome [00:23] does someone know how the mini pcie over usb thing work? [00:23] Seveas: I cannot do the auto pastebin it since it is not installed and I cannot since lol broken packages. [00:23] Seveas: and for teaching me stuff on the way. great times :) [00:24] roasted: well you get the idea, run the command and pastebin output. Though run this instad: ps auxf | cat [00:24] Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013440/ [00:24] roasted: run it with the | cat to avoid truncated lines === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [00:25] Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013442/ [00:25] roasted pastebin the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/mimio-studio.postinst [00:25] seems to be a misbehaving postinst script [00:26] megabitdragon, The channel does not like away messages. [00:26] Beldar: where did you see an away message? [00:26] Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013448/ [00:26] megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [00:26] that's not an away message. [00:26] Seveas: Ah. [00:27] Seveas: apt-get update stuck in: [Connecting to packages.medibuntu.org] [00:27] I have join a part off, hard to tell if it's a nck change, my bad [00:28] is this medibuntu.org required [00:28] roasted: ok, that package is broken as f* kill all the dpkg processes and purge the package [00:28] goodwin: no, it's dead, remove from your sources [00:28] Seveas: I tried to apt-get remove --purge it, but then it flags that I need to run dpkg --configure -a first [00:28] roasted: ah bugger. [00:29] roasted kill the dpkg processes, remove the script you pastebined and then dpkg --configure -a and dpkg -P [00:29] that last one is dpkg -P mimio-studio [00:29] Seveas: just rm the .postinst thinger? [00:29] Seveas: which line should i remove? no medi in sources === daek_ is now known as Daekdroom [00:30] goodwin: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [00:30] roasted: yeah [00:31] Seveas: did this effectively remove mimio, or just allow me to apt-get remove --purge it [00:32] looks like it removed it [00:32] thing is I kinda want this software for work. I wonder if reinstalling it would yield different results since I mucked around with it a lot earlier on. [00:33] hplease anyone noticed firefox dones't allow saving password on Xubuntu, the save password flashes and viola its gone how can i fix this? [00:33] roasted: the dpkg -P purged it [00:34] so how do you install FireFox ESR? [00:34] roasted: the postinst is dumb, the developers of it need a serious kick in the balls. [00:34] I am pissed off at the ubuntu installer. I had a 80gb windows partition + a 20gb debian partition. I wanted to replace debian with ubuntu. It asked me: "Do you want to replace debian with ubuntu?", I said "Yes". But it wiped out windows too! Argh! [00:34] Seveas: this is upsetting as we are moving to ubuntu on a grand scale and this being ubuntu supported is a key component. [00:34] kennethd: ooh, that's terrible [00:35] Seveas: apt-get update error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013479/ [00:35] kennethd, You would want to do that manually always. [00:36] goodwin: ok, try a sudo apt-get clean [00:36] kennethd yeah the installer is confusing when you are dual booting and trying to replace an OS, same thing happen with me [00:36] Beldar: I guess so! [00:36] kennethd: FuuuqUmiist: did either of you file a bug? [00:36] kennethd, bummer though, you have a backup image/clone? [00:36] Seveas: same error [00:37] kenn don't save or erase anything on the computer, maybe you can recover the windows boot sector [00:37] Seveas: do I need to rm all files under /etc/apt/source.list.d [00:37] kennethd* [00:37] ? [00:37] goodwin: that's what apt-get clean does [00:37] Sorry for venting... thanks for the sympathy, the thing is brand new though & I think the restoration partitions are intact [00:38] goodwin: but those errors tend to indicate something is rather wrong [00:38] kennethd the exact same thing actually happen to me in the past, i was able to fix the boot sector with TestDisk app, try it out [00:38] FuuuqUmiist, I don't see that in the repos, from FF it seems. [00:39] Seveas: I was considering filing a bug. The language was so unfortunate, it sounded like just what I wanted, I thought, wow, this installer is slick [00:39] Seveas: This error happened about half year ago. I never managed to solve this. don't what happened. [00:39] kennethd when you format it doesn't actually erase anything, it just erases the index and stuff so don't write or save anything on the disk and try out testdisk [00:39] FuuuqUmiist: I will check it out, thanks [00:40] Seveas: it prevents me working on ubuntu, install new things [00:40] This error happens in system notification whenever I reboot ubuntu. [00:41] kennethd you can probably try photorec too if you want to try to recover important photos, but when you do the files will be huge, so just open the file and screenshot it making a new image [00:42] hi, who is a master in linux and can help me with a hard problem i'm facing pls? [00:42] FuuuqUmiist: I didn't have any personal stuff on there, it's a new work laptop. I did already install a bunch of packages in ubuntu. I will sleep on it, decide if I really do need windows anyway... [00:42] !ask | r0mika [00:42] r0mika: 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 [00:43] goodwin: well, that error indicates your computer is corrupting files as it downloads them. [00:43] grub is suck a pain, most of the major problems i have gotten was because of grub [00:43] such* [00:43] Seveas: how to solve this? [00:44] FuuuqUmiist, grub is fairly simple to use. [00:44] goodwin: to be honest, I'd reinstall. precise is old enough that an update would take too long for me :) [00:44] Seveas: I might need to reinstall ubuntu. but I am not sure how my data is preseved [00:44] FuuuqUmiist: You fixed them. Right? [00:44] goodwin: it's not. Make a backup of what you want to keep. [00:45] FuuuqUmiist: lilo is latest trend, you gotta try it out, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_boot_loaders [00:45] latest, that be a old loader [00:45] goodwin: ... or, if you have /home/ on it's own partition, just leave it / re-use it. [00:45] goodwin: as Seveas stated grab a large enough media and backup everything. Fresh install will not necesary preserve any partition whatosever [00:46] Beldar: you know, retro funk. [00:46] lol ;) [00:46] qin: "latest trend" I dono.... It has been around a long time but dono what the "trend" is... [00:46] * Beldar thinks about getting a mullet [00:47] I never have good experience with 12.4. do I need to wait for 14.4 which is also a LTS? [00:47] goodwin: It's up to you, but you can just upgrade when it gets here. [00:48] why is someone here DDoS? [00:48] goodwin: If you install 12.04, you have a long time before EOL [00:48] goodwin: LTS is overrated. Just install 13.10 [00:48] ok sry, here is the issue, i had installed and setup ubuntu 13.10 with everything i need including ati catalyst drivers. i made an image of the file system so i can just copy the image to multiple machines without running the setup process on each. the problem is that on a new machine with a different video card fglrx sais that can't find the device file. i guess udev increments the card id [00:48] from card0 to card1 because it's a new device, similar to how it treats eth. where i did the image was eth0 but on a new machine because it's new hardware it sets eth1. the question is, how can i reset this so it starts from 0, like a clean install. to reset all hardware info or i don't know. thx. [00:49] Seveas: Well, not hitting EOL so often is part of the advantage of LTS [00:50] qin, I wip out lilo with MS users who remove the linux and have no recovery disc to laod the mbr. [00:50] from system notification error "This usually means that your installed package has unmet dependencies" [00:50] r0mika: you do a fresh install on each machine, clone the packages you want to install on each and script your way out. There may be others, but then letting the install disk recognize the hw and assigne the need interface nomenclature seems to be the most stable way to proceed. [00:50] I'd recomend salt for easy deployment and configuration of many machines [00:51] usr13: well, with the new dumb 9 month maintenance period I see the point [00:51] Seveas: is this any help for solution? [00:52] goodwin: And it is 12.04 (not 12.4) and 14.04 (not 14.4). [00:52] yeah the 9 month maintenance period is useless, it should at least be 1 year... this basically means that most people will just be installing LTS versions [00:52] @tharkun i manage to resolve the problem with eth so it starts from 0 just by deleting /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. isn't there a similar way for pci? all works except this thing. [00:53] Seveas: Yea. For me, it is an added convenience. [00:53] usr13: ok [00:53] goodwin: And those are also dates, (in case you were un-aware). [00:54] usr13: yea i know [00:54] r0mika: @ works on twitter, not on irc, actually it breaks name highlighting. Back to your question try it and see. Then fix your install image accordingly and document everything. [00:54] du -s . output KB or MB? [00:55] FuuuqUmiist: Not necesarily. But then Centos does provide a longer lifespan and Fedora a shorter one. [00:56] goodwin: k [00:56] tharkun: thx [00:56] so is FireFox Extended Support Release supported in Ubuntu repos? === gmag is now known as notok [00:56] FuuuqUmiist: no. [00:57] why [00:57] goodwin: see du -sh [00:57] r0mika: np [00:59] please how do i fix the audio of my Xubuntu, i wasn't able to edit the volume so i typed alsamixer and increased all options is there a way to make it better because now i am get a tone coming up if the volume is 50% high [01:00] Can anyone help me with a graphics issue? I am using a ATI RAdeaon 5770 with proprietary drivers using dual monitors/extended desktop and when I open some games and specificall DosBox in fullscreen It turns into mirrored mode and I get DosBox mirrored. This happens with other applications aswell. I have read that it is an SDL issue, but to be honest I am at a loss for a fix. [01:00] im in 13.10 [01:00] kingplusplus: Could that be feedback from your mic? [01:01] kingplusplus: (mute it and see. [01:01] usr13: how do i check which folder has most KB?

I was following this advice ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/211136/get-the-audio-from-line-in-to-output-to-the-speaker ) for getting sound from Line-in through my speakers, and now my whole system is without audio. Can someone help me repair it? [01:04] !sound [01:04] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [01:05] allyai, state it for help. [01:05] kingplusplus: You should find what you need in alsamixer [01:05] Oh wait. it was just my applet misleading me... I actually have sound =P [01:05] Sorry for the silly question [01:06] usr13, i don't really understand, all the terms [01:06] i was using ubuntu fine two days ago. didnt use my pc at all yesterday. got home from work today and booted it up, im running windows 7 and ubuntu, on two separate drives so i had to choose which to boot. chose ubuntu and then my keyboard and mouse stopped working [01:06] PulseAudio === gary is now known as Guest82363 [01:06] Dbugger: fail!

[01:09] hello [01:09] I can see the contents of it, when I unzip the folders are empty, when I try to unzip specific files, I get giberish subfolder names created [01:09] yeah, tried a few times. booted back into windows and it works fine. [01:09] Richhh: Are you sure it is really a compressed file? file name.zip #see if it is. [01:09] my keyboard and mouse have lights, and they turn right off as soon as i hit enter on ubuntu [01:09] Richhh: Maybe it *is* just giberish. [01:10] and my display changes [01:10] as if i lowered the resolution [01:10] Richhh: Start with the question; What is it supposed to be? [01:10] usr13: hotmail tends to zip all attachments, its possibly a zipped zip or a zipped rar [01:10] Richhh: What does file say about it? [01:10] ah it was a zipped rar [01:10] should be able to get it now [01:10] Richhh: Okeydokey.... [01:11] Does anyone know how to tell the installer in Ubuntu 12.04.4+ to not install the bootloader/GRUB? [01:11] chaos7theory: I think so.... [01:11] chaos7theory, You can install it to the ubuntu partition. [01:11] Being I'm trying to dual-boot Ubuntu 13.10 and 12.04.04 but 12.04.4 overwrites it and messes things up. [01:11] thanks usr13 [01:12] Richhh: NP [01:12] I'd rather just use Ubuntu 13.10's GRUB [01:12] chaos7theory: Why? [01:12] chaos7theory, YOu can load what ever grub you want from the OS's desktop. [01:13] chaos7theory: Wouldn't it be simplier to just let the 12.04 install over-write 13.10's grub? [01:13] usr13: I still can't get to the data, unrar fails [01:13] It messes up 13.10's entries is why [01:13] chaos7theory, If you wanted to return to 13.10's grub boot it in gthe terminal run sudo grub-install /dev/sdX X is the HD tha sudo update-grub [01:14] Richhh: What does file say about it? [01:14] file shows "RAR archive data, v1d, os: Win32" [01:14] Richhh: So, what is it *supposed* to be? [01:15] supposed to be that, but can I extract it in ubuntu? === gmag is now known as notok [01:16] Any ideas? [01:16] Richhh: with unrar [01:16] Do I run that in recovery mode, on a Live USB, or just the OS itselfis fine? @ Beldar [01:16] Is there a way to run dban (Darik's Boot and Nuke) from the command line of ubuntu server? Or is there another tool that will wipe/shred/erase a drive on a running server? [01:16] chaos7theory, In the terminal on the booted 13.10 [01:16] ajeffco: dd. [01:16] Seveas: unrar fails on all the files [01:17] Richhh: What command did you use? [01:17] ajeffco: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx [01:17] unrar (filename) [01:17] ajeffco: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=2M * [01:17] daftykins: ty [01:17] ajeffco: disable swap first [01:17] swapoff? [01:18] yea [01:18] :) [01:18] I did that once without disabling swap, when dd reached the swap partition, weird things happened :) [01:18] Hi all [01:18] Richhh: try x or e [01:18] seveas: There's no swap on these disks, they were zfs pool drives [01:18] usr13: both failed [01:19] i have problem with lshell [01:20] Richhh: What error does it give?

[01:21] daftykins: I assume that when the prompt returns it's complete? [01:21] ? [01:22] ajeffco: yes, also if you "kill -USR1 $PID_of_dd" it will report the status, so you can gauge time remaining sorta [01:22] Richhh: We don't know what is wrong with the file you have. (You'll have to ask who ever sent it.) [01:22] daftykins: Nice... Thank you [01:22] allyai, Not really. [01:22] ajeffco: however of course, you will be able to see how a disk slows down from start to end due to the track diameter :) [01:22] ok [01:23] daftykins: Yep ;) [01:23] Can anyone tell me why SDL mirrors my monitors?

[01:24] yes [01:24] elementaryosusbd: /join #elementary, ask them [01:24] i never get an answer [01:24] daftykins: That kill -usr1 returned nothing. But I can see them working the disks in nmon. It does a number on CPU's also [01:24] oh blast [01:24] That's unfortunate, and something you should bear in mind when choosing your next distro. [01:25] #ubuntu does not provide derivatives support. [01:25] i think i was in the wrong folder and trying to unrar the zipped rar [01:25] sorry [01:25] ajeffco: hrmm, it should interrupt the dd's and print a status message, then resume [01:25] well, no i wasn't [01:25] ajeffco: silly question, you did insert the running process ID of the dd instances, not type it exactly as i did? :) [01:26] ik, but i dont think it matters what distro [01:26] daftykins: It did, I didn't notice it was on the window that's running the dd until you said it interrupts the process [01:26] yea, I did ;) [01:26] elementaryosusbd: in here, it does [01:26] i get permission denied [01:26] ^_^ [01:26] ajeffco: gotta head off now, enjoy o/ [01:26] daftykins: thanks much [01:26] have a good one [01:26] rww: how do I fix permissions denied [01:27] elementaryosusbd: for ___________________?

[01:34] hola, [01:34] sardior: Oh, I only had to scroll up and see. Sorry/ [01:35] NiKeCRu666, Are you using wifi and lost the signal? [01:35] usr13: ok. [01:35] np [01:35] Beldar, well I use wifi and yes sometimes I lost conection [01:36] NiKeCRu666, So, might this be the issue? [01:36] Beldar, but I do not lose conection when I'm downloading [01:36] usr13, output problem makes some random noise [01:37] kingplusplus: Only happens with skype? [01:37] Beldar, couldn't it be the driver? [01:37] kingplusplus, Hmm, what through magic, downloading has no control on this. [01:37] d [01:39] NiKeCRu666, what driver, if working not like;y to just fail during use. [01:39] NiKeCRu666, What kind of download and can you just restart it? === elementaryosusbd is now known as EOSuser1 [01:41] Beldar, yes, i can restart it, but still download crashes, files bigger than 5MB I think, cuz I downloaded a PDF about 400Kb and there was no problem, but google talk plugin (deb package) I couldn't [01:42] usr13, is there somewhere else besides #elementary i could ask [01:43] usr13Beldar yes only with skype, am using Xubuntu and trying to install it i followed some tutorials because it wouldn't install using the deb files so i decided to do it using some online tutorial [01:43] NiKeCRu666, Can you plug in the ethernet and use it as a compare? [01:44] I can't now, but is it usefull if I tell you that there is no problem when I download from windows7? I have both installed in different partitions [01:45] kingplusplus, I mistakenly used your nick when posting to another. [01:46] Beldar, do you know how to fix a permission issue with gnome-disk-utility [01:46] NiKeCRu666, Not really, if you do loose signal at times (and ubuntu is weaker reading this) I would ghuess that is what is happening. [01:47] EOSuser1, randomly just asking users is frowned upon. [01:47] kingplusplus, The sound problem with Skype is well-known, and affects lots of distros. [01:47] cypher-neo, ok... i will hv to cope with :) [01:47] Beldar, im sorry i just feel like this should be an easy fix [01:47] kingplusplus, The problem is Microsoft updated Skype and they borked it. There is a fix that works somewhat... but [01:47] EOSuser1,State your issues to the channel for help. ;) [01:48] kingplusplus, It won't take care of all the sound issue, just most of it. [01:48] kingplusplus, Use the skype in the repos. [01:48] Beldar, That version in the repos is one of the affected versions. [01:49] Beldar, then should I compare just with ethernet? [01:50] NiKeCRu666, That is where I would start, but I have ethernet access at my fingertips, just a suggestion. [01:50] cypher-neo, supposedly, are we sure there is no user error here? [01:50] kingplusplus, Check out this article here. This fix worked on my computer... it took care of about 75% of the random sound. http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-fix-the-sound-issues-between-skype2.0-and-pulseaudio-on-fedora9 [01:52] Beldar, Pretty sure. It sounds like the last thousand Skype issues I've fixed. [01:53] I need help [01:55] kingplusplus, Also another fix here: http://arunraghavan.net/2013/08/pulseaudio-4-0-and-skype/ [01:55] My PC is too old to run the 3D Unity desktop. But Ubuntu removed Unity 2D from Ubuntu versions past 12.04. I want to keep using Ubuntu, and keep upgrading, but this is stopping me. [01:56] cypher-neo, sorry am new how do i enter gnome system menu in Xubuntu [01:56] let me check the new one [01:57] I'm running Ubuntu in a VM with virt-manager (Fedora host). The problem is, any time I switch to a console (i.e. with ctrl + alt + f2) Ubuntu freezes. Anyone know why this would happen? It's a new install of 13.10. [01:57] I've updated it and everything. [01:59] undeaddragon, You have 3 options. 1) Get a new computer. 2) Switch to a different distro with a desktop that composites differently. 3) Switch to a different desktop on Ubuntu that composites differently. [01:59] cypher-neo, thanks its looks like the problem is gone [01:59] In fact it won't even shutdown properly, it freezes after closing xorg (I think). [01:59] undeaddragon try Lubuntu it will make your computer super fast [01:59] kingplusplus, Glad i could help! [02:00] FuuuqUmiist: Okay [02:00] Lubuntu is Ubuntu without using the Unity interface [02:00] Okay [02:01] just add the cool apps that you like [02:01] undeaddragon: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu ; made to perform on older hardware. [02:02] <_gypsy_> we are in the matric [02:02] undeaddragon, You could also check out Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition. It uses a different compositing manager that is lighter on resources than Unity. [02:02] Okay [02:03] Linux Mint Cinnamon uses a lot of resources too, maybe try Linux Mint XFCE version if you want [02:03] XFCE is very lightweight [02:03] :) [02:05] Okay [02:05] Is there a way to install Lubuntu without all the junk like abiword? [02:05] I like using nano [02:05] Or vim [02:06] undeaddragon just uninstall it after, or maybe you can try the minimum install or something [02:09] Thank you for your help beldar, I'll try with ethernet conection. =) [02:10] undeaddragon: Did you try minimalinstall? [02:12] I can't find the link [02:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall [02:15] hey, ive copy my disk contents bit by bit onto another hard drive that's identical in size but when i try to boot i get error: magic number [02:15] why is this happening [02:17] hello [02:17] what's the scenario stevecam? [02:17] same server, HD replace? [02:17] or new server, based on HD copy of other server? [02:17] would anyone be willing to give me a little advice or help on understanding a bootable usb with Ubuntu OS? [02:17] sure wisguy556 [02:19] NV_, it's a laptop, the old drive was failing so i purchased a new one, copied contents over to the new one and the new one wont boot ubuntu [02:19] Ok, thank you. I have a DELL laptop with Windows 7, it won't start, it gives me a black screen with a blinking cursor.... so I figure virus? and create a bootable usb with another computer, hoping that I could virus scan the laptop and get the original windows 7 OS to run [02:19] is this the right idea? [02:19] stevecam, How did you copy, and was the mbr included? [02:19] error: invalid magic number error: you need to load the kernel first Press any key to continue..... [02:20] i copied by putting the old disk and new disk in a computer and copied /dev/sdc to /dev/sdd according to the drives block names on my computer [02:21] wisguy556, This black screen with cursor the ubuntu usb boot? [02:21] with dd if that makes any difference [02:21] im downloading a copy of boot repair but im just trying to understand the logic behind why it wont work [02:22] wisguy556: If the issue is on a windows 7 OS itself I would first exhaust all options on win 7 itself to get it back up and running [02:22] no sorry, the black screen is when I tried to start the laptop with just the windows 7 OS that is on the laptop. I can get the Ubuntu to load and run with the USB, BUT I can't figure out how to get a virus program on the ubuntu usb... [02:22] stevecam, try this app, and save the bootinfo summary url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [02:22] Hey Beldar. I was able to help that user with his Skype problem. It wasn't user error. [02:22] cypher-neo, Cool gppd job. [02:22] good* [02:22] hi [02:22] new here [02:23] Beldar, im downloading it now, also having trouble working out why the boot disk is so big, but thats irrelevant [02:23] I cannot get Windows 7 to start at all. the computer turns on and then the black screen comes up, no options for input (it looks like an old DOS cursor) [02:23] wisguy556, You need another usb to load. [02:23] or disc [02:24] Beldar, so do I download virus software and create a "rescue disc" with the virus software? [02:24] wisguy556, There are av that are bootable iso's [02:24] Hmm, but why so sure it would be a virus? [02:24] ok, any recommendations? [02:25] wisguy556, here are a few. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/bootable-antivirus-rescue-cd-windows-free-download [02:25] NV, that is what I have found when searching google.... and when I am running the Ubuntu I can access the HDD and see all of the files that were on the laptop last time I used it [02:25] Thank you Beldar [02:26] wisguy556, No prob.you might check on the ##windows channel with the symptoms.....etc and see if it may be a hardware or software issue. [02:28] ok, thanks again. I am trying Kasperkey right now, if its free, what does it hurt :) [02:32] lucy99: Hi ! .. and you have a problem ? [02:32] lucy99, Hi, you have any support issues?

[02:35] is this the right channel to ask that? [02:35] off topic [02:36] Beldar how can I get a recorery partition or an image [02:36] Can anyone help me with a chromebook/bitcoin problem on 12.04 [02:36] pvp101sing, the recovery would be on the hard drive, and image you would have made. [02:37] Can anyone help me with a chromebook/bitcoin problem on 12.04 [02:37] can I just install windows on a image iso to my partion hard drive how would I do that [02:37] pvp101sing, I doubt you will get to your goals, you don;t have the right tools, and this is not a windows channel ##windows is [02:37] pvp101sing, is there a key that you can press when you start up your computer that says recovery mode, usualyl says it when you start up [02:37] which is irc for ubuntu server??? [02:38] Can anyone help me with a chromebook/bitcoin problem on 12.04 [02:38] pvp101sing, If you have an iso of windows you can boot it with grub 2 [02:38] hawa, #ubuntu-server [02:40] can anybody tell me how to find the original mac address of cloned mac??? [02:40] pvp101sing, it's technically possible but you will have the issue of not knowing what you are doing, which is how you got to this point in the first place, you could possibly install windows on to a virtual machine [02:41] i try to install a package on ubuntu 12.04.4 and i get an error. [02:42] i ran apt-get update first. then apt-get install libboost-dev [02:42] Beldar, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7013896/ [02:42] stevecam: can I install grub 2 to install windows 8 on it can you show me a site or a vedio how to do it because am lost and I cant get back were I started [02:44] stevecam, looks good, I would try supergrub 2 to boot ubuntu to see if it is going to boot. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ [02:44] pvp101sing, Do you have a W8 install iso? [02:45] Beldar: Yes [02:45] Beldar, im reinstalling grub2, im just trying to work out why this happened in the first place if im making an exact copy of the hard drive [02:46] pvp101sing, there is a #grub channel as well for help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [02:46] stevecam, Hard to say I would have used clonezilla myself. [02:47] Beldar: I will give you permission to go into my computer and do it for me will you help me [02:47] pvp101sing, Come on by. [02:47] I don;t remote [02:48] Beldar: I thought I would try thanks anyways:( [02:49] how do i find original mac of cloned mac in my network [02:50] pvp101sing, technically you can copy a windows install onto a spare area of your hard disk, but ive never done it before and if you dont know what you are doing you can put yourself in a bigger mess then you were before. have you considered virtualizing until you have a suitable usb or cd to burn [02:50] pvp101sing, see post 3 I know this user and they are a grub guru. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2182397 [02:51] Beldar, why clonezilla? [02:51] stevecam, Just a great cloner and saves the mbr, never had a fail. [02:52] my own bias basically [02:52] pvp101sing, YOu can't get your dad to buy a usb for your school needs? [02:52] maybe im getting behind in times, how old are you if you dont mind me asking? [02:53] stevecam, me? [02:53] pvp101sing, school or gaming needs? [02:53] Beldar, yes [02:53] stevecam, 49 [02:54] im only 26, that still doesnt help me [02:54] brassario does not recognize blank disk, how to fix this?

[03:35] godd, Have you modified the desktop, you seem to get them working once your rebooted? [03:37] Beldar: i have modified the desktop alot, and use hot corners through ubuntu tweak, after i reboot i can go back to ubuntu tweak, reselect the hot corners(that are still selected) and then they wor again [03:38] Beldar: is it possible to access the hot corners option through ccsm? [03:38] Hi all, I have linux-firmware update, Do I need to reboot to take effect? [03:39] Beldar: or any other way besides ubuntu tweak? [03:39] I was told to do this "Then on the machine that is connected to the internet create a new wired network connection in nm-connection-editor and designate it as "shared to other computers", then plug the two computers together via a crossover cable and DHCP on the not-yet-connected machine should take care of the rest." to connect my two computers via ethernet cables but i dont know to do it [03:40] Beldar, im just going to conclude that it was bad sectors on my old disk, can not wrap my head around this [03:41] godd, Hmm, you have a lot going there which includes 3rd party/ppa apps both of which technically not supported, I can't really help, unity is a plugin in ccsm and there are controls for this there. Mixing these apps seems to be the crux of the issue. [03:41] stevecam, I wondered that my self. [03:42] just seemed a little odd because my system was at least booting on my previous disk, but bad sectors never really end up making sense [03:42] Beldar: thank you, i believe you're right, but i can't seem to find the controls in compiz settings manager... [03:43] godd, I forget where that would be in ccsm I have not used unity for awhile is all. [03:43] Beldar: thanks, i'm sure i'll figure it out from here [03:45] Beldar, i find this amusing "Disk is OK, 1698 bad sectors" [03:46] Mine says "Disk is OK, 4 bad sectors" [03:46] Is 4 bad secors ok? [03:47] stevecam, Heh, that is a a lot of bad sectors. [03:48] Beldar, but disk is OK === kimgonill is now known as wallyp [03:49] stevecam, yeah, not really an area I can definitively address. [03:50] bad sectors are signs that your hard disk is going to fail [03:50] which is why i bought another one, can not draw the conclusion why it thinks bad sectors are ok [03:51] stevecam, You using the onboard smart check in disks? [03:52] what do you mean? [03:52] I think my laptop is bugged [03:52] I am an ubuntu newb [03:53] stevecam, Just wondering how you are getting that info, if you open disks top right corner there is a dropdown that has a smart check [03:53] I want to know how to verify whether this is the case and take the necessary measures to prevent this [03:53] sebastian, bugged? [03:54] sebastian: what seems to be the problem with your laptop? [03:54] tapped, keyloggers, etc [03:54] I want to find out how to verify whether there is a keylogger on my laptop or anything that records my activities [03:54] Beldar, i got if from my smart data its your wording that confused me, "smart check onboard disk" [03:54] sebastian, What makes you think it is, not an easy thing to install? [03:55] smart is only located on disks afaik [03:55] sebastian: you could always install a rootkit hunter. But like Beldar said it is very unlikely. [03:55] sebastian: http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/ [03:55] afaik, unless im not catching up with new ideas, smart information off the disk wouldnt make sense to me lol [03:55] stevecam, ah onboard meant installed. [03:56] ok, I am willing to learn and install it [03:56] can I get it from synaptic? [03:56] sebastian, rkhunter is really for people who know how to muse it, it will only show changes from the install, many legitimate. [03:57] use* [03:57] try sudo apt-cache search [03:57] Hey guys. I have a laptop hdd that is failing. it has 2 partitions on it and one of them is Windows 7. I've bought a new hard drive that I'd like to copy JUST the partition with Win7, on to, but the old win 7 partition is 116gb and the new hdd is 256gb. Can I copy all the data somehow (what application does anyone recommend?) without being stuck with a 116gb partition again? [03:58] Beldar, i may be 26, but ive been usisng computers for 21 years so things are getting new very quicly for me [03:58] snufft_, That is a ##windows question really. [03:58] Beldar, i'd be cloning it on Ubuntu. the drive has to be out of the machine to clone [03:58] stevecam, Heh that is about 3 times longer than I. [03:58] Beldar, if there was a built in assembly language keylogger on my computer would I be able to detect it on ubuntu? [03:58] snufft_ Really cloning it with what, isn't that your inquiry? [03:59] should I encrypt my homefolder? [03:59] sebastian, If you really think this has happened your bets response is a new install. [03:59] Beldar, pretty much. What Linux/Ubuntu app can I use that will let me clone the drive, without partitioning the new drive to 116gb again [04:00] Beldar, somebody tried telling me about privacy the other day, afaik privacy became obsolete back in 1980 [04:00] snufft_, I use clonezilla often, you cab resize partitions. [04:00] can* [04:00] Beldar, awesome, i'll give it a shot :) [04:00] Beldar, thanks! === BurritoBazooka is now known as Burrito [04:00] stevecam, privacy is a myth always has been. ;) [04:00] sebastian: you can try installing clamav which for all intent purposes a linux antivirus [04:01] Beldar, I am downloading some torrents, I will wait until those have finished, save them onto a flash drive and then do that [04:01] Beldar, i see you surviced the "password" for a password era [04:01] Someone that know UCK? Here? [04:01] <__cskksc> test [04:02] i installed tor [04:02] but when i look for it on dash i cannot find it [04:03] And privacy is not obsolute. The only thing is that generations that grew up without privacy don't grasp the concept of it. And agreed full privacy is an illusion, always has been. But with the technologies advancing. Privacy is now not for the masses but for the few elite. [04:03] Serano, how old are you? [04:03] is that relevant? [04:04] Serano, #ubuntu-offtopic please [04:04] bazhang: excuse me, i was responding to a quote here. I'll refrain myself :) [04:04] thanks [04:05] stevecam: if you wish to elaborate further we can go private or #ubuntu-offtopic [04:05] My question is the following, if I finish downloading the torrents onto my external hard drive, if i make the iso into my flash drive and do a clean reinstall should I install without a connection to the internet? should i choose the option to encrypt my home folder, should I choose a very intricate password to log in and how should i proceed after doing that? [04:05] will connecting my usb external hard drive to copy my back ups back compromise things? [04:06] Serano, you're not in there, i was just amking a remark about how i became that my privacy did not exist at a very young age [04:07] Someone that know UCK? Here? I need help to make a distro, i put XUBUNTU in DVD and i get msg: File /media/catopett is not an Ubuntu Desktop Edition ISO image, alternate CDs can be remastered using backend scripts.when i click on the xubuntu dvd-rom [04:08] How do I boot an iso image to grub and load it while booting up my computer what is the command am trying to load a different ubuntu image file [04:08] beldar: http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/157789-SOLVED!-Ubuntu-13-10-keybored-and-mouse-stops-working-after-some-time! [04:09] allyai, Cool you have it fixed? [04:10] not yet, was doing other stuff. gonna try it now [04:13] I wonder if I break down into paragraphs here, 1) finish downloading torrents, back up files, 2)reinstall ubuntu [04:13] choose encrypt home folder option? [04:13] choose a very long 256 character password? [04:13] I am following the: http://www.howtogeek.com/109736/how-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-or-usb and cannot continue as UCK asks for iso-file, is it possible that the xubuntu dvd does not function here? [04:13] install offline? [04:14] It is a live dvd [04:16] sebastian: preferably with inet imo. This way you make sure that packages are on the most up to date version on installation. [04:17] hi all [04:17] inet=? internet connection? [04:17] sebastian: home encryption is nice. But I would encrypt my homefolder with a short pass and use a TrueCrypt container inside that with Whirl. [04:18] so click on download latest packages while installing [04:18] sebastian: obviously yes [04:18] sebastian: yes [04:19] ¨use a Truecrypt container inside that with Whirl¨ is that something I check during installation or do I sudo-apt get something as quickly as I installed? [04:20] no that is after install. If you feel there is a need to hide something on the home folder and that it is very imperative that it stays private, I would recommend encryppting the homefolder and afterwards use a specialised solution for encrypting your files. My advice was TrueCrypt with Whirl [04:21] ok so that means i go on the terminal and then write sudo apt get Whirl? [04:21] Exactly what is a lens? What is the transparent thing that it loads into? [04:21] sebastian no that means you need to google truecrypt and follow the installation instructions. === VoidWhisperer_ is now known as VoidWhisperer [04:22] sebastian: also if you want to be safe against keyloggers you need to put on the paranoid hat and enable your firewall and block everything except the ports that you allow to. === VoidWhisperer is now known as Guest73835 [04:23] I google truecrypt, there should be some isntruction with a repository to enter into the sources file and then sudo apt get [04:23] brb [04:23] This way you can control the traffic flow from and to your machine and eliminate the chance a keylogger is able to send anything. [04:24] ok [04:24] morning to all [04:24] is tor available on ubuntu? synaptic says that it is but i cannot seem to find it by typing tor on dash, i will need to use tor to look for true crypt installation when I reinstall [04:25] !tor | sebastian [04:25] sebastian: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [04:26] ok thank you [04:26] sebastian: you need to learn how to google a program. Look for install information and use that. This can either be you have to build the package and install it manually and sometimes there is a package available in the repo. [04:26] !info vidalia | sebastian [04:26] sebastian: vidalia (source: vidalia): controller GUI for Tor. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.2.21-1 (saucy), package size 2992 kB, installed size 6015 kB [04:26] so, finish downloading torrents, back up in external flash hard drive, do clean reinstall, download updates while installing, encrypt home folder, download tor, look for truecrypt installation [04:27] Now for working with the 'integrated installer'. Sudo apt-get install and to try and find a package: sudo apt-cache search [04:27] the latter will give you the right package name to use with the first command. [04:27] aha! so vidalia is why tor is probably not working [04:27] in short: the basics =-) [04:30] ok final question and i know this is off topic, is there a way to attain privacy on facebook, yahoo mail, youtube, via a program? [04:30] hello [04:30] i need help in installing ubuntu [04:31] sebastian: in some degree but if the information you supply to facebook is your personal information it will mean that all your connecting measures would be rendered useless. [04:31] so for anonimity: tor is nice, for encryption use a vpn to encrypt everything passed your ISP. [04:32] hello [04:32] so my way of enabling that would be your pc > ISP > VPN > Server > Tor Network > Facebook [04:33] back up, reinstall>update while installing>encrypthomefolder>download tor>download true crypt...find a vpn, what is a vpn? do i have to pay for truecrypt or the vpn or is it free on ubuntu? [04:35] sebastian: I feel you have set a goal but you still need to do a lot of research :) Don't expect to be given all the answers, but dare to adventure yourself. Do everything step by step. Ask if you get stuck. But first of all research. I've given you lots of information. Even on subjects you clearly have no idea about what they do. [04:36] ok [04:36] My advice would be to read up on Security Practices, What is a VPN, How does Tor work, What is encryption How does it work. [04:36] I heard rumors that certain laptops were being shipped bugged [04:36] from leaks on the net [04:36] if this were the case would i be able to detect it from ubuntu? [04:37] Not particularly. Most laptops are being shipped with windows, which is an open door anyway. Good practices will protect you in Linux. === frecel__ is now known as frecel [04:38] is it true that Ubuntu 32bit edition can support more than 4GB of ram? [04:39] But furthermore, We look for backdoors on software. That means we trust our hardware to be bugfree. That's proprietary so we can't really check that. But who says it is bugfree. If you use the proprietary drivers of your videocard, aren't those infected with a backdoor? [04:39] my laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled [04:39] FuuuqUmiist: 32bit has a limitation of 4GB. It's a mathematical limitation [04:39] Serano how about the Ubuntu 32bit PAE version [04:39] how the heck can Richard Stallman live! [04:40] FuuuqUmiist: I have no experience with PAE. [04:41] FuuuqUmiist: Reading up a bit fast: A PAE-enabled Linux kernel requires that the CPU also support PAE [04:41] So I'd look into that first. === UltimateNate is now known as UltimateMobile [04:42] I have a weird problem, hard to describe. It's in google chrome. You know when you Tab the first time and it focuses on the search results first ? Something happened and the first focus of my results page is starting from Google+ . What the fuck causes this ? It's depressing. [04:43] Hi all [04:45] is it possible to functionally interact with others using webcam such as on skype on ubuntu without using any proprietary software or drivers? [04:45] and watch youtube videos and listen to music [04:46] sebastian, skype is proprietary, there are other apps to do this with however. [04:46] using skype would mean opening up all your conversations through skype [04:46] is there an non proprietary alternative that is multiplatform and of equal quality? [04:47] since skype itself is proprietary. We have no control. I believe from PRISM documents it was revealed that Skype was a part of it [04:47] I have Ubuntu (xubuntu package) installed in a VM on Win7, it's pretty responsive on the main middle monitor, but on the other two screens I have programs respond very sluggishly [04:48] is there a fix for this? Or is Ubuntu in Virtualbox best used in a single monitor config? [04:48] wow logging out worked [04:48] hahahahahahahahahahahahaha XDXDXD [04:48] thank you bye === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:48] sebastian, I doubt the same quality but but that depends on your definitions. Honestly clinging to open source as a only way is better represented in other OS like fedora....etc === Extreme is now known as Invision [04:49] sebastian maybe try Linphone or Jitsi [04:49] skype doesn't encrypt their communications [04:50] so for open source, non-proprietary go for Fedora [04:50] ok [04:51] sebastian, It has to be you being the watchdog on this, asking a support channel is not all the answers, do the research in other words. [04:52] hey all [04:52] Ubuntu starts out as all open source basically, it is what you add that changes this [04:52] someone suggested net bsd for security but that is insane, i am a newb [04:52] sebastian: not neccesarily. Take a look at this site https://prism-break.org/en/categories/gnu-linux/ [04:52] sebastian this is helpful in recommending software https://prism-break.org/en/ [04:52] lol FuuuqUmiist [04:53] so as long as i dont install the ubuntu extras everything is open source and non proprietary including drivers? [04:53] sebastian, With fedora you have to add repos to get anything proprietary the main repos do not have any. [04:53] like video camera, microphone, etc [04:54] sebastian Trisquel takes away all the propriety stuff in linux, and Debian is more restricted on propriety too [04:54] I believe themedia codecs and the amazon thing are proprietary. Everything else is opensource on base install. [04:54] sebastian, There is proprietary apps in the main repos IE nvidia proprietary for example [04:54] Videodrivers you can choose between the proprietary version in linux or the open source one. [04:55] https://trisquel.info/ it is endorsed by Stallman [04:55] *googles trisquel* [04:55] it is basically LTS Ubuntu 12.04 [04:55] basicly sebastian you really need to do the reasearch., all of us had to do it, to fully grasp how it is [04:55] and works [04:55] ok ok [04:55] how about this one [04:56] just before i go [04:57] i make up a new email addres, new fb account, new youtube channel, without revealing my info, send my friends a letter with the link to the private video and let them know it is me, i can check from the views on the channel that only they saw the video [04:58] wow they really ruined ubuntu. barely usable now. [04:59] sebastian: youtube would kill your disguise immediatly. The flash software used would reveal your true ip, even with proxies, VPN, ... With your true IP combined with your prior internet activity, you would be linked to your new profile [04:59] sebastian, That is a made up scenario, outside of the support here that includes other entities. [05:00] Hey whats up guys I am using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I am trying to use the xfce-power-manager to enable a dim when the computer is idle for 12 seconds, but no matter what I do nothing makes the screen dim over time, althouigh the hotkeys work [05:00] wondering if there is somthing I can do in order to attempt to diagnose this issue, or try to fix it the proper way.

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:38] !enter | kutulal [05:38] kutulal, please see my private message [05:38] kutulal: what you want to do is make a little script with the commands in that need to be executed. You could then add that script to crontab that will run it on boot. More info on how to use crontab: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-execute-cron-job-after-system-reboot/ [05:39] kutulal: You need to create a properly configured .desktop file and place it in ~/.config/autostart [05:40] ah idd what he said: @login :p [05:40] thought i read on boot [05:42] LittleFool: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE#Autostart_programs [05:42] the executable is crclient which is placed in my home folder. I use it to login to my web host. In terminal I type``./crclient -u username'' where `username' is my login name.But I'm not getting how to do this automatically [05:43] kutulal: If there is a username and password to be entered, you'll have to create a script for it. [05:46] username & password field is saved in the programs .conf file. So I only need to execute command:``./crclient -u username'' in my home directory [05:47] How do I use this for irssi??? --> https://gist.github.com/OrangeTux/5729182 [05:48] happyfr0gg: something for #irssi ? [05:48] I would like to connect to Facebook chat from inside irssi. [05:48] Question - what *exactly* is needed on 13.10 to install 32 bit applications? Just ia32-libs-multiarch? Reason I ask is I have an application (Mimio Studio) which is labeled an i386 application but their site says it supports 32 and 64. On a 13.10 32 bit VM, works fine. On a 13.10 64 bit install, no such luck. Lots of errors when installing via terminal. Thing is, I have ia32-libs-multiarch installed. Makes me wonder if there's [05:48] something else I need. [05:49] roasted: couldn't you just download the 64bit version of the program? [05:49] usr13:username & password field is saved in the programs .conf file. So I only need to execute command:``./crclient -u username'' in my home directory [05:49] Serano: there is only one file under linux for this program [05:49] Serano: I'll double check though. maybe it's hidden somewhere. [05:50] usr13: username & password field is saved in the programs .conf file. So I only need to execute command:``./crclient -u username'' in my home directory [05:50] Serano: yeah just one [05:50] roasted: if there isn't, I think you need to install ia32-libs [05:50] and as far as I would expect it would work [05:51] Serano: they're not in the 13.10 repos as far as I can tell [05:52] I'm still on precise so I wouldn't know [05:52] warning: /home/catopett/tmp/remaster-root-mount seems to be mounted read-only. is this right?

I use it to login to my web host. In terminal I type``./crclient -u username'' where `username' is my login name.But I'm not getting how to do this automatically [05:54] kutulal - I may be of help. [05:55] kutulal: do ./crclient -u username > run.sh [05:55] and via crontab let run.sh be ran everytime. or just add the command in crontab [05:56] on login [05:57] although I might be wrong. [05:59] kutulal: is it on a desktop? [05:59] if so http://xmodulo.com/2013/01/how-to-automatically-run-script-when-logging-into-ubuntu-desktop.html [06:01] well make script.sh and chmod +x it. Inside put ./crclient -u username [06:01] and add it to the the startup applications [06:02] Hey everyone, so I moved my file server to a new case and now the SSD partitions are not being read. The device shows up in BIOS, and I booted from a flash drive and the drive shows up in disk utility but shows that it's unformatted. Any suggestions? [06:04] klloveall: It sounds like they are recognized but not formatted or partionned. Boot with the flash and use gpart to format and partition the ssd [06:05] going to build an ubuntu media server for my home [06:06] is this the right place? [06:06] Serano: I agree, but I know it is partitioned and formatted because it was working before I moved cases (the only thing I changed was cases. I added in another HDD but haven't hooked it up yet) [06:07] lewislipsz, or in #ubuntu-server but start here [06:08] i want to avoid any issues with the hardware I buy [06:08] !hardware [06:08] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:08] arright, thanks [06:08] I've seen some of that [06:09] klloveall: Oh bizar. The weren't by any chance in RAID or encrypted with truecrypt? [06:09] I've had spotty success with each veresion of ubuntu on my current hardware - seems to have gotten worse over time [06:10] lewislipsz, I'd suggest going with LTS for the long term support benefits [06:10] r [06:10] klloveall: what ss brand you have? [06:10] dds [06:10] ssd [06:10] I just don't want any issues - I spent weekends trying to get my geforce 250 to play nice with no success [06:11] if I'm just sharing files, no transcoding or xbmc or plex or anything, I should be fine with onboard video, I assume? [06:11] Not to my knowledge. The rest of the HDD's are, but the OS is on the SSD by itself. And it's an OCZ I think [06:11] Well with a RPi lewislipsz you can get a mediacenter for $50 bucks :) [06:11] idk RPi [06:11] Hello all === root_ is now known as Guest21901 [06:12] i just want many TB of storage in some sort of RAID array to expose my .mkvs to the network [06:12] to windows machines, wdtv, whatever else I get [06:13] i don't want to spend more than a few hundred bucks besides the HDDs [06:13] sounds like you need a NAS. :) If you want specialised software OS for that, take a look at FreeNAS [06:13] yeah, I've thought about NAS's [06:13] is that a better option? [06:13] I have a Toshiba A6, AMD 64 laptop with Windows 8 pre-installed, I am trying to boot Ubuntu on it in legacy mode. It seems to boot, but it won't start the gui for some reason. What can I do? [06:13] seems like they all come with sketchy reviews or functional caveats [06:13] unless I drop $600 on a drobo or something [06:14] It is. You can go for premade NAS systems, or build a small pc with the FreeNAS OS on it and do the same. [06:14] is FreeNAS a linux derivitave? [06:14] yes [06:14] Serano: Not to my knowledge. The other HDD's are, but the SSD isn't. [06:14] well, that's what I want, I guess - supports multiple HDDs and different flavours of RAID I assume? [06:15] help, i use UCK to build a live-cd and getting error: bin/po2txt he.po >he.tr open2: exec of fribidi --nopad --nobreak failed at bin/po2txt line 112 make[1]: *** [he.tr] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/tmp.RRVD51j0NJ/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/po' make: *** [po] Error 2 Failed to build gfxboot theme [06:15] hi. what is fix for mount:failed not authorized with udisk [06:15] lotuspsychje: OCZ I believe. [06:15] thank u!! [06:15] klloveall: I would look if I can find evidence there is still data on the disk, or I would consider it lost. [06:15] looking at freenas.org now [06:16] have you guys had to deal with secure boot? I got a new motherboard and I'm having trouble getting anything to boot. [06:16] I set CSM to enabled and everything to Legacy, but still nothing :-/ [06:16] runelind: yes I had to turn of fastboot. [06:16] Prufrock, does the UEFI show that secure boot is off? [06:16] and secure boot [06:17] Serano: pretty sure I disabled fastboot, but I'll check again. [06:17] runelind: secure boot aswell [06:17] runelind, I turned off secure boot and it worked [06:17] thanks [06:17] hi. what is fix for mount:failed not authorized with udisk [06:17] lewislipsz: That's almost exactly what I have, but I ended up using ubuntu for it instead of freeNAS. Also I would suggest having the OS on a separate drive (preferably SSD, but I had it on a flash drive for a while). [06:18] lewislipsz: Also I would make sure you have the HDDs in a software raid. [06:18] Serano: what would be those signs? [06:19] so what hardware constraints should I have in mind with freenas? doesn't seem like there's any guidance [06:19] in my limited experience, some setups are unworkable with linux [06:19] klloveall: I would start with badblocks first [06:19] or I'm too dumb or unmotivated to resolve [06:20] amd v intel / particular onboard video chipsets / etc [06:20] fsck is an option aswell but i run badblocks first [06:20] Serano: yeah, Fast Boot is disabled by default. [06:20] lewislipsz: first of all what are you making a server or a player? [06:20] just a server [06:21] than basicly any hardware that can run linux will run it. There are not that many hardware dependencies these days as there used to be. [06:21] i'm just streaming to pcs or players like wdtv which handle mkvs etc fine natively [06:21] ahoneybun, I don't really know. But I am sure I disabled the secure boot from the BIOS. I that's how I could switch to CSM mode, ya know. :/ [06:21] i'm currently using an ancient dell with xp and external usb drives to stream my media [06:21] so basicly I would look for hardware that has alot of SATA interfaces on board or PCI space enough for hardware raid cards. [06:22] what to do with udisks-daemon using 100% cpu time [06:22] i assume the specs on the pc don't need to be very robust [06:22] put that in a case that allow alot of drives in a compact way. [06:22] lewislipsz: a simple i3 would suffice for a fileserver. [06:23] so i don't really need any sort of gpu then, other than whatever would display a gui for configuration [06:23] nope [06:23] The two things I looked for was SATA interfaces/GbE Ethernet, A case that has a fan over the HDD bays, onboard graphics. [06:24] mb+mem+cpu and hdd's [06:24] A simple celeron processor should suffice, you shouldn't even need an i3 [06:24] in a casing that allows drives :) [06:24] that's what I was thinking [06:24] Also, badblocks is running now Serano [06:24] that should be all doable for a few hundred bucks, then [06:25] Yeah, I built mine for ~$250... [06:25] so, is freeNAS worthwhile? [06:25] like, couldn't I just install ubuntu or any other modern distro and just use samba to share stuff? [06:25] lewislipsz: Imo if you want to play it smart. Buy cpu with low tpd. [06:25] keep the electric costs down aswell. [06:26] since it's headless and will be running 24/7 [06:26] yeah, headless is fine [06:26] it will sit in a closet or something [06:26] i'd advise the WD red drives aswell if you go sata. since they are optimized for 24/7 running [06:26] what does freenas give me that an off the shelf linux experience wouldn't? [06:26] I just used ubuntu. It works well and is more familiar than freeNAS (which I tried and gave up on during installation) [06:26] nothing basically. [06:26] I keep getting code 99 on the bios splash screen, and then it reboots over and over again. [06:27] It can run on less hardware and comes preconfigured to do what you want... [06:27] lewislipsz: nothing besides the the GUI it's done experience. All functionality can be redone, but you have to do it yourself then. [06:27] freenas is advanced in what it does. It has it's gui and backengine to do all the things one wants for a NAS and more. [06:28] can't really find any info about code 99 [06:28] The other thing though is that you can use your file server for more than just serving files then (such as perhaps leveling audio on your music or torrenting things) [06:28] runelind: Code 99 sounds like a motherboard code. What brand/model is your mobo? [06:28] I've never raid'd before - does ubuntu handle all the various flavours natively for me? I don't need to look for particular mobo features or anything? [06:29] Freenas is based on debian [06:29] klloveall: Gigabyte GA-J1800N-D2H [06:29] so it will all be so familiar aswell [06:29] It does. Mdadm can do 0,1,4,5,6 and 10 I believe. [06:29] klloveall: brand new [06:29] Anyone? :/ [06:30] Noen som bruker "UCK-GUI"? Trenger hjelp [06:30] build in cpu/gpu [06:30] i've got 4TB of crap now, and only more going forward - is a straight up raid0 what I want? [06:30] I would suggest Raid 5 or 6 so that you don't loose your data. [06:30] I have 6 2TB's in a RAID6. [06:30] which is what flavour of raid? [06:31] should I be nervous about raid? [06:31] A raid 6 [06:31] single stick of 4GB 1600Mhz PC3-12800 DDR3 [06:31] Someone using "UCK-GUI"? Need help [06:31] can I mix and match different size / manufacturers of drive? [06:31] If you get a RAID 6 it can support loosing two HDDs before you loose your data. [06:31] Manufacturers, yes. Size under certain conditions. [06:32] I think i have now multiple sizes / mfgs - toshiba, wd, etc [06:32] It's easier if they're all the same size. What are the sizes now? [06:33] freenas with raidz1/2/3 :) [06:33] so if I want 6TB of raid6 storage, how much physical storage do i need to have? [06:33] I'm trying to format my old DVR hard drive (500GB). Ubuntu can't read the drive [06:33] It depends on the RAID type. 0: 6TB, 1: 12TB, 5: 8TB, 6: 10TB. [06:34] I have a 2TB toshiba, a 2TB WD and a 1TB seagate all plugged into various USB ports on an ageing Xp machine [06:34] Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID#Standard_levels [06:34] how do I format the drive in Ubuntu? [06:34] That's not bad. You could get another 1TB and RAID the two 1TB's together in a RAID0 and then raid all 3 together in a RAID 5... [06:34] lewislipsz: please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware [06:35] ok, will do - thanks for the info [06:35] how can someone fix that udisks-daemon using 100% cpu time [06:35] no problem~ [06:35] How do I enable the transparency background in lxterminal? [06:36] runeland: Where is the code coming up? on the screen or on the mobo? [06:38] and then find kicks in using over 60% cpu time and doign it for a long time, every day I start the machine [06:39] I am tired of that defaulr behaviour of ubuntu (xubuntu 13.10 64bit) [06:40] ok [06:40] I am trying to boot into Ubuntu on a Toshiba A6, AMD 64 laptop with Windows 8. I am booting on legacy mode with secure boot disabled, but I can't start the gui display. How can I fix that, please?

[06:53] it's in my computer case, connected as SATA. BIOS detected it [06:53] Can someone help tranfer a file to the folder name boot on ubuntu please help [06:54] Lichte, yes. the DVR was in storage for 2 years. but had a nice 500GB drive [06:54] the filesystem is not recognized [06:54] Hi [06:54] korubii, if you open the program called disks, does it list the drive ? [06:54] clear data reminence or have a compatable OS [06:54] How can I use dbus-monitor to check if devices are announced? [06:54] Any ideas?

And with your name I assume you have heard of metasploit. The OS doesn't matter, it's the software you run [07:04] yeah... but we are an Cyber Security Team and we want to create our custom OS... So, Can I use ubuntu or lubuntu for it [07:04] See the latter part of my response [07:04] blackbuntu is officially shutdown.... [07:05] locate starts is find searching/indexing disk. am I forced to see this happen every time I start computer? [07:06] Thanks LLutz but no response [07:06] Our OS will contain all pentesting os and We have to publish it.... So, main thing is, Is there any ubuntu Law that we can use its os for customization [07:06] neosploit_, how would we know if you can use it. you are allowed to use it, if that is what you asked [07:06] lucian, and? kali is offtopic here [07:07] ok...cool i understand now..didnt mean to jam anything up [07:09] A big question is can we use Ubuntu/lubuntu to create Pentest OS and can we publish it publically..... After publish pentest os will it b create any issue from ubuntu for using ubuntu OS [07:11] pentest os? [07:12] why not just use backtrack? [07:12] or even better... kali. (the improved version of backtrack) [07:12] another useless distro-derivative. let's reinvent the wheel one time more [07:12] sorry didnt see you mentioned kali [07:13] Akayllin, sry the comment wasn't directed to you [07:13] look.... we want to use somethin different. So, y not i create for me [07:13] a new Pentest OS [07:14] neosploit_, so why don't you check the license info on ubuntus website and do what you like? and btw that kind of question is offtopic here too [07:14] but what's wrong with what we have now? why not work to improve it rather than splinter into yet another os and fragment linux even more. linux's greatest strength of opensource is also it's greatest weakness because of fragmentation of distros :\ [07:15] Akayllin, fragmentation? there are only a few distros, maybe some over 9000....time for "something different" :( [07:17] ? slackware, puppy, ubuntu, red hat, fedora, freebsd, arch, debian, kali/backtrack, zorin, numerous small distros and the derivatives for all the listed ones... theres a lot of distros?

[09:38] when I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 it did actually overwrite everything, but I'm hoping the upgrading process has been improved to 'detect' full disk encryption [09:39] anyone have any experience with upgrading ubuntu installations already using full disk encryption? [09:40] why would one use sudo su rather than sudo -i ? [09:53] solution - > windows :( [09:54] dj_tjerk: Well , i never upgrade [09:55] dj_tjerk: mostly i just backup all my files and then reinstall [09:55] but disk encryption is no bad factor when upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10 [09:56] I wanted to upgrade the last time, but eventually it turned into a fresh install when I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04.. [09:56] Is Remastersys in the ubuntu repo? Because I have a problem with it. [09:56] when it overwrote the hash etc.. [09:56] but back then it was all using the alternative installation.. so I might have done something wrong [09:56] justaguy@justaguy-Celeron:~$ sudo apt-cache search remastersys [09:56] [sudo] password for justaguy: [09:56] justaguy@justaguy-Celeron:~$ [09:57] allstarsnorks2: nope it's not in the repo's [09:57] goddammit. i wanted to know why my remaster has no user option for live cd. oh well. [09:59] hi do i need to run update manager? it reports 663 updates and ~500M. [10:01] Failure to download extra data files: flashplugin-installer [10:06] justaguy: I tried using your search for remastersys-gtk and a message about the program appeared. Does that mean this remastersys-gtk is in the repos? [10:07] allstarsnorks2: paste that message please [10:07] ?paste | allstarsnorks2 [10:07] bq, what version of ubuntu? [10:08] kostkon: 12.04 [10:08] bq, did you just install it? [10:08] yes [10:09] bq, using the 12.04.4 iso or some earlier one? [10:10] it's 12.04 LTS. not sure [10:10] minor version [10:12] bq, the 12.04.x are refreshed releases of 12.04 with all the updates already applied. So if you have installed it using the 12.04.4 then it's not normal to have some many updates to install [10:12] kostkon: i guess it is 12.04 I downloaded long time ago [10:12] bq, but go ahead and install them. we'll just assume you probably used an older 12.04 release [10:14] kostkon: how long would it take to upgrade from 12.04 to the latest? [10:14] bq, if you isntall all the updates, you will automatically update to 12.04.4 [10:15] kostkon: why 12.04.4 is so important? I want to upgrade to 13.x or 14.x [10:16] bq, you have to be up to date to be able to upgrade to a newer release of ubuntu [10:16] bq, but i would recommend you to wait another month and then you will be able to upgrade directly to 14.04 [10:16] month or so [10:17] kostkon: so you mean I have to update to 12.04.4 then be able to upgrade to 14.04? [10:17] bq, yes, that's the case [10:17] so I can upgrade from 12.04.4 to 14.04 directly without go through the middle? [10:18] bq, yes [10:18] how long does it take approximately? [10:19] bq, depends on your internet speed and pc specs [10:19] normal conditions [10:20] suppose 20M internet speed and latest laptop [10:20] Hi, I make server for counter-strike 1.6 and i need help. Am I in the right place? [10:21] hey all [10:21] hey [10:22] had a power outage today, and my BB didn't last - now my server is showing disk full. when I do df -h I get a /dev/mapper/xeon-root that's basiclly where all my space went [10:22] bq, no idea, but take into consideration the following facts: 500mb for the update to 12.04.4 and probably another 500-800mb for the upgrade to 14.04, 1000+ pacakges to install. [10:22] did i lose lvm, or what the hell is this?

[10:24] /dev/mapper/xeon-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [10:24] kostkon: do you think so? [10:24] bq, it is, but 14.04 is still in beta [10:26] bq, you are going to have to install large updates almost daily if you install it now === hewhomust is now known as rannonga [10:28] no big problem waiting another month longer === Zhaofeng_Li is now known as Zhaofeng_Li_ === Zhaofeng_Li_ is now known as Zhaofeng_Li [10:33] hey [10:33] how can I disable the snapping if I have two monitor setup?

[10:56] !cloak | trent_ [10:56] trent_: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode.

[10:58] Hello [10:58] bluerum, it worked in 13.04 last time i tested [10:59] great, thanks! [10:59] I'll try it [10:59] Is my stuff hidden now? =\ [10:59] haha [10:59] i can see your junk [10:59] Ah poo [11:00] did you register with nickserv? [11:00] Yepeyp [11:00] I gotta verfiy my email probably [11:00] yes [11:01] Alright just got verified [11:02] Alright, what about now? [11:03] Does anyone know if there's a reason 'smartctl' (ran smartctl -t long /dev/sdb) would be 10% from completion, then upon checking status again an hour later be at 90% from completion?? I don't want to kill my new drive [11:05] trenth, registering does not hide your IP, you need to ask for a cloak in #freenode [11:05] Yeah, just read that part. Thanks OerHeks [11:05] peteski, what made you run the self-test in the first place? [11:06] android [11:06] kostkon, I previously was trying to set up a radi5 array, and one disk was bad.. so someone recommended doing the smart check on the new drive when it arrived to be sure it was ok [11:06] peteski, ok [11:07] But it was about 10% from being done, I figured.. leave it an hour. .came back and ran smartctl -a /dev/sdb and it was at 90% :o [11:07] is there a way to stop the scan entirely for now? [11:08] what FTP server do you recommend that can use multiple chrooted paths? tried ProFTPd earlier and I could only add additional paths (from my NAS) by re-mounting them with bind mount in the ftpuser chroot environment. I'm interested in a behaviour similar with windows FTP servers where you can share multiple directories [11:12] anyone? [11:15] Sorry sv2241 only have experience with windows ftp clients === xubuntu is now known as Guest36284 [11:28] what FTP server do you recommend that can use multiple directories (from several NFS mounts) in a jailed home? [11:28] jailed ftp user home [11:31] as it looks like, linux ftp servers give you only two options: either provide a user access to the whole server or only to a jailed path. I want to give a ftpuser access to multiple paths, not the whole server [11:36] sv2241: Perhaps mount-bind the various paths into the jail [11:36] with mount -o bind (or --bind or -B) [11:38] geirha: yes, that's what I have used with ProFTPd. it works but it's not convenient [11:38] I want to get into ubuntu-touch porting, but the documentation is a bit too advanced for me at this point. What meta documentation would be good for me to dive into, that will aid me in my future endeavours as a developer? Should I just learn my way around the linux kernel, and how to program in that? Regards. [11:40] sv2241: Ok, then I have no idea. I stay as far away from ftp as I can. [11:40] !touch | Aki1 [11:40] Aki1: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [11:41] geirha: surely there must be another way. I want to replicate the behaviour Windows FTP servers have. To add as many paths I want from outside the the ftpuser's chroot-ed environment without him being able to cdup. basically to access only the certain paths that I give him access to. Maybe there's something that can be configured similar with Samba shares. WHen ftpuser connects to see only the [11:41] shares I've created for him, nothing else. [11:41] geirha: by FTP I mean FTPs or SFTP [11:43] geirha: in Windows, setting this up is very simple, in Linux seems almost impossible considering the wealth of customization you can do on the latter [11:43] lets try that again: [11:43] I want to get into ubuntu-touch porting, but the documentation is a bit too advanced for me at this point.

[11:50] StarOnD: .bashrc should not contain any environment variables [11:50] StarOnD: Environment variables should be set with pam_environment and/or .profile [11:51] hi all i would like to pair bluetooth device without pin using bluz-tools,i have used bt-device -c mac,it prompt me Enter the pin, is there any other possible way to pair using bluez-tools ? [11:51] StarOnD: So environment variables you set in .bashrc will only be available to python if you run python from an interactive bash session [11:52] I set the CLASSPATH for antlr4 in my .bashrc and it runs fine in an interactive session in the terminal [11:53] StarOnD: Because .bashrc is only read for interactive sessions [11:53] os.system in python runs sh though, not bash, and even if it had run bash, it would be a non-interactive session, so .bashrc would not have been read [11:53] umm so how do I make the same environment variables available from a os.system ( ) call from a python script? [11:54] StarOnD: You set them in .pam_environment or .profile, like I said [11:54] i'm running 13.10 on a HP elitebook, and when I close the lid, the OS suspends, as I want it to. However, waking it back up after a while doesn't work; I have to fully shut down and restart the laptop. Any ideas? It's an i5 cpu with 2GB ram, intel 520 SSD [11:55] StarOnD: the aliases you talked about is a dead-end though, you'll probably have to make them into scripts instead [11:55] Hi, I want contribute to ubuntu with code and repair packages but I don't know how start... someone could guide me? [11:56] I'm having some printer problems. I have a brother mfc-7420 installed and hooked up. When I print a test page nothing happens. Cups says the print was successful. I'm using Xubuntu 12.04.4.

I've only ever seen 3 digits [12:10] that page does not talk about how to set an alias [12:10] is there a puppy linux IRC channel? I just installed a package but not sure how to run it [12:12] StarOnD: It makes no sense to set an alias. What are you trying to achieve?

When I booted the Laptop and chose "try Ubuntu without install" nothing happened (just black screen, though the LED on my USB Stick blinked for a while).

I again created a bootable stick, and after I activated the internet connection during the installation process, everything worked and ubuntu installed correctly. I had to repair the bootloader, but afterwards, I was able to chose on startup whether I wanted to boot Windows or Ubuntu. So everything fine up to now. The weird thing now is, I can't establish an Internet-connection with [13:55] the laptop in Ubuntu. The network manager doesn't show any WLAN networks.

[13:57] cfhowlett: what do you mean "enjoy" enjoy what? [13:57] choose a mirror that works and get your updates done [13:58] Phil42: The first solution wasn't Ok to me. My left and right keys doesn't work anymore know... ;) [13:59] TaZi: i would boot the live cd again and get as much information about which driver modules are installed as i could [13:59] *nox [13:59] *now [14:01] cfhowlett: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/main/universe/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80] [14:01] i pack files with "tar cvf 1.tar ~/code/trade" [14:01] unpack them with "tar xvf 1.tar" [14:01] the problem is that it recreates whole directory structure "/home/qq/code/trade" in directory i unpack it [14:01] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/main/universe/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.14 80] === root is now known as Guest58000 [14:01] Phil42: how do I get those information, and what do I do with them? (I'm almost a complete newbe to any Linux-based OS) [14:01] ovrflw0x, again; change the mirror. right now, you're pointed at the main US mirror. there are others. [14:02] TaZi: run lsmod on the live cd and on the installed system and compare them [14:03] cfhowlett: are the mirrors i mentioned above needed or should i untick them? [14:03] that isn't much information but it will get you moving in the right direction [14:03] poweroutage, booted up server since ubuntu ubuntu [14:04] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-33-generic x86_64) [14:04] Phil42: allright, thanks so far. I'll do that first [14:04] now disk is full an shows [14:04] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on [14:04] /dev/mapper/xeon-root 134860024 134860024 0 100% / [14:05] ovrflw0x, tick nothing. I'm suggesting you change the server mirror only. Mine says "Download from China". Yours says "Download from USA" or similar. THAT'S where you should peek. [14:06] ovrflw0x, what ubuntu version for that ppa ppa:fossfreedom/packagefixes [14:07] Hi guys. [14:08] OerHeks: https://launchpad.net/~fossfreedom [14:08] hi folks, it failed installing it and I got this when I ran apt-get install default-jdk - http://pastebin.com/Qz8FDyXr [14:08] ovrflw0x, i know that, i asked for your ubuntu version [14:08] I am on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS [14:09] TaZi: This is a fresh install. Right? [14:09] ng_: try booting up with a live desktop CD and run disk usage analyzer [14:09] ng_: that might reveal things you can safely delete [14:09] OerHeks: saucy [14:10] Got a quick question: Is it 'okay' to use an administrator account for every-day use? As opposed to having two accounts where one is admin and the other limited in permissions. [14:10] hello, i need to find out the times of the last few times the computer was turned off and on..... is this info logged somewhere? [14:11] TaZi: I suggest you plug up to a wired internetconnection, do all updates, reboot again and see if the WiFi works after that. (To do updates from terminal window, just issue command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade)(or, you can just use the GUI update-manager). [14:12] demianb: yes [14:12] Hello Everybody. I'd like to know if there's a way to copy a text from the terminal (for instance from an open document in 'less') without using the mouse. [14:13] it's working now [14:13] anyone happen to have an opinion on a really good lenovo laptop for ubuntu? [14:13] usr13, cool. Because each time I need to install something it is very cumbersome. I thought I was being extra-safe with two accounts, but after a while I'm starting to doubt it even adds any additional security. [14:13] nerez: xclip? [14:13] my experience with their "ideapad" line was total BS. [14:14] but I think with a thinkpad the drivers and the like should be solid ( I had issues w video drivers ) [14:15] demianb: The "administrator account" as you call it is just the first user account, (the one that was created during install). That account *does* have admin privileges, and so it can loosely be refered to as an "administrator account" because it is able to preform all admin tasks. If you create another account, it will be just like a guest account and will not have admin rights. But as long as you have a pretty good password, it is ok to operate under the [14:16] demianb: See my PM. [14:17] Alright. [14:22] hi , anyone know if acer aspire 5560 laptop is an unlinuxable machine, several distros failed to like this hardware, ubuntu went on and hardware is seems to like ok - except for hdmi has no audio output, google was no help, before i get into it any deeper, or put windows back on it, do I have a shot here? is this model as hopeless as it seems? [14:23] the linux channel has told me before that linux likes everything, perhaps that IS true, I seems to be lacking knowledge in the case of certain laptops [14:24] JoeSomebody: do you have discrete graphics card? which company? [14:24] it has radeon video [14:25] hang on i find which one [14:25] Hi. Running Ubuntustudio and would like to get my USB touchscreen working. What packages should I install? [14:25] JoeSomebody, it's not true that linux likes everything. OEM driver support, especially on newer tech like HDMI, can be hit or miss [14:26] JoeSomebody: try this as kernel parameter: radeon.audio=1 [14:27] i did try that (google) no joy [14:27] JoeSomebody: do you have 2 audio outputs? [14:28] two? ? its a laptop [14:28] 2 hdmi? === ikillcypher is now known as Guest64556 [14:28] the drivers guys are my heroes, maybe they need some overtime pay :) [14:28] one laptop speaker output and other hdmi audio output JoeSomebody [14:28] hello guys. i installed my first linux ever a week ago - ubuntu 13.10 and i had problem i wasnt able to solve - i have intel i5 4440 on gigabyte z87x mb and ubuntu constantly kept my cpu at lowest frequency, no matter what - 800mhz. i found an app where i could set the frequency manually or select an option with "on demand", which didnt work at all. is there any chance ubuntu 14.04 will be better with this? thank you! [14:28] yes i have two then [14:29] JoeSomebody: which one is default audio output laptop or hdmi audio? [14:29] i set what i could find in settings to favor hdmi [14:30] JoeSomebody: try alsamixer [14:30] majo: which CPU Is it? [14:30] oh nvm [14:30] haswell [14:30] hdmi either was set or i could not find it, i sorta gave up, i can try again, now that it is a new day [14:30] hold on i look [14:31] ovrflw0x, yes. i read some changes in new kernel which could also solve my ati driver problem but didnt find anything about cpu support :/ [14:32] how can i mount folder on server, so it apears as folder on my pc? [14:33] man it should not be this hard to get specs [14:34] оп [14:36] cant get specs since its a acer pos [14:37] aspire 5560-7679 [14:37] this model seems hopeless, is it actually? anyone got/tried this model?

[14:40] http://pastie.org/private/8byqq1eo2c1wucmxznoew [14:41] can someone recommend a laptop that runs Ubuntu under $600 [14:41] ExtremeDEvilz: that's an older PPA - looks like support stopped at maverick: http://ppa.launchpad.net/sun-java-community-team/sun-java6/ubuntu/dists/ [14:41] ovrflw0x, is that the default mixer that i already tried, or one i need to add? [14:42] ExtremeDEvilz: that's the problem with PPAs (and why they aren't generally supported) - they depend on their owners for updates [14:42] !java | ExtremeDEvilz [14:42] ExtremeDEvilz: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

[15:29] Hi I'm having some issue installing libprce-dev, it says it has no installation candidate and most tutorials online do not help. Can someone help me? [15:29] Hello, I tried to install Ubuntu on my Lenovo Ultrabook, so I downloaded the Ubuntu 13.10 Image from the website and created a bootable USB Stick with the software recommended on the ubuntu website. When I booted the Laptop and chose "try Ubuntu without install" nothing happened (just black screen, though the LED on my USB Stick blinked for a while). So I tried to download the image of Version [15:29] 12.04 LTS. I again created a bootable stick, and after I activated the internet connection during the installation process, everything worked and ubuntu installed correctly. I had to repair the bootloader, but afterwards, I was able to chose on startup whether I wanted to boot Windows or Ubuntu. So everything fine up to now. The weird thing now is, I can't establish an Internet-connection with [15:29] the laptop in Ubuntu. The network manager doesn't show any WLAN networks. (remember I was able to connect to the net, when I installed Ubuntu o.O). Then I asked here in the channel, what to do and was told to compare the modules of the life version and the ones of the installed version. The life version had the following modules, which the installed one had not: arc4 [15:29] btrfs [15:29] dm_log [15:29] dm_mirror [15:29] dm_multipath [15:29] dm_raid45 [15:29] dm_region_hash [15:29] iwlmvm [15:29] mac80211 [15:29] overlayfs [15:29] raid6_pq [15:29] scsi_dh [15:30] Hi I'm having some issue installing libprce-dev, it says it has no installation candidate and most tutorials online do not help. Can someone help me? [15:30] quick question: is user session info logged somewhere? (i am looking for login and logout times) [15:31] yeats, that page is inconclusive [15:31] what's more worrying is that root user has a password, and its not one I set [15:33] how do I make a .sh executable file [15:33] Xaft, looks like that package does not exist in ubuntu repositorys [15:34] BorisUbuntu: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/CommandsAndArguments#Scripts [15:34] BorisUbuntu: don't include .sh in the filename [15:34] is there any way to find out when the root password was set? [15:34] geirha. thanks.. oh why not include? [15:35] nobody knows? [quick question: is user session info logged somewhere? (i am looking for login and logout times)] [15:35] TaZi: hi again [15:35] zuppuz: "last" [15:35] last? [15:35] BorisUbuntu: Commands don't have extensions. The command to list files, is it ls.elf or ls? [15:36] Phil42: Hi, are you able to tell anything from that list? [15:36] dont understand [15:36] zuppuz: "last" is a command [15:36] did you say that the only module that one has that the other does not have is arc4/ [15:36] ? [15:36] no [15:36] geirha, ls -l then you get a list of files in the folder you are in [15:37] ok, are you using wireless networking? [15:37] BorisUbuntu: right, and ls is an ELF binary, yet it's called ls, not ls.elf [15:37] arc4,btrfs,dm_log,dm_mirror,dm_multipath,dm_raid45,dm_region_hash,iwlmvm,mac80211,overlayfs,raid6_pq,scsi_dh,squashhfs,usb_storage,xor,zlib_deflate [15:38] this is the complete liste of modules thats missing in the installed version compared to the life version. [15:38] makara: you can check /var/log/auth.log to see if anyone has logged in that wasn't you [15:38] BorisUbuntu: Whether the command the user runs is a compiled binary, a perl script or a bash script is irrelevant to the user that wants to run it. The user only cares that the command does what it's intended to do. [15:38] yes, I have to, as the ultrabook has no RJ45 port [15:38] makara, see this bugreport https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ido/+bug/1256590 [15:38] TaZi: there are some networking modules there [15:38] Launchpad bug 1256590 in ido (Ubuntu) "J.

[15:39] TaZi: try modprobe iwlmvm if you are lucky that will get it started [15:40] zuppuz: "last" should give you a list of usernames and the times they were logged in/out. + reboots should be listed too. [15:41] maybe with sudo? [15:41] ok, I logged in as "root" and typed the command. There was no prompt at all [15:41] TaZi: maybe it would be better to add iwlmvm to your /etc/modules file before your reboot [15:41] OerHeks: makara: yeah - this really sounds more like a bug and not an attack to me [15:42] TaZi: are you running live cd now/ [15:42] ?

[15:54] yep, the only way I can add any data to my installed ubuntu version at the moment is via USB-Stick [15:54] no =) [15:55] TaZi: Then you probably have to boot the install media and chroot into the filesystem, get connected to WiFi and then do updates. === UltimateMobile is now known as UltimateNate === deadlock is now known as alone [15:55] !chroot | TaZi [15:55] TaZi: 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 [15:55] One of my laptops doesn't want to boot and I don't know why. If I go to GRUB holding shift, then selecting previous working linux ~~ it works. Now that I'm in Ubuntu, is there some way I can make this version the standard boot?

Is it possible to do something like 3,3? [16:01] usr13: Do you know what I mean? And thanks for the help so far by the way, it's just what I am looking for [16:02] Any idea why my Windows Server 2012 crashes when i try to open a share residing on Ubuntu 12.04 Server fully updated? [16:04] Bonjour tout le monde. [16:04] !fr|dinosa, [16:04] dinosa,: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [16:04] OerHeks, the guy on that forum talks about Remmina, which I was also using recently. I think it's that [16:05] I've got two laptops uptodate - 13.10 doesn't make J Random User [16:05] hello ubunturos :) [16:06] usr13: I found the answer online for my follow up question. Thanks for the help again. [16:07] Xip: What did you find? (I was away...) [16:07] argh... how do I get out of "system is running in low-graphics mode" hell? [16:08] Xip: What is "life version"? [16:08] slyrus, install graphics drivers(nvidia/ati/whatever) [16:08] slyrus: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [16:09] usr13: You could write like "2>2". Since option one is 0 and "Previous linux versions" is 3rd it's 2 and then in there the only one that works is 3rd place it's also to (so 2>2) [16:09] 13.10, tried to build a new kernel, now all the kernels are stuck in low graphics mode [16:09] slyrus: And how did it get into "low-graphics mode"? [16:09] that's what shows up when I reboot [16:10] the X logs say "failed to initialize the nvidia kernel module..." [16:10] maybe it helps that "iwconfig" prompts only "lo no wireless extensions" [16:10] slyrus: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:10] Any idea why my Windows Server 2012 crashes when i try to open a share residing on Ubuntu 12.04 Server fully updated? [16:10] usr13: I've tried that, but will again [16:11] Eagleman: It's a samba share? [16:11] usr13: I have 12.04.4 LTS precise [16:11] usr yes [16:11] I do note that that I don't have the /dev/nvidia[0,1,2...] files, so that might be problematic [16:12] qemu 2.0 is not available in 12.04 [16:12] usr13: Since it was such a pain and din't want to boot I was going to install another version on it, but the CD rom doens't want to boot and it has all kinds of issues. So just getting it to boot with a previous kernel just felt like a quick fix [16:13] slyrus: And you wont until you re-install the nvidia software again. [16:14] Hello guys. I have been trying to make some sense out of what "alsamixer" is showing me, but I am not being some successful. I see way too many bars and I dont think I have that many connections. Can someone please help me make sense out of it? http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_from_2014-03-01_16_07_02-N0wdaCAu.1393690338.png [16:14] ok, which version of the nvidia drivers should I be trying to install? [16:14] slyrus: So you installed a custom kernel? [16:14] usr13: yes, but I get the same problem when I boot with the stock kernel now [16:14] slyrus: lspci |pastebinit #Let's look and see. [16:14] slyrus: You've deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:15] slyrus: (that's why) [16:15] slyrus: You'd have to run nvidia-xconfig again. === ranok_ is now known as ranok [16:16] slyrus: (Which is run at the end of the install process when you do the nvidia install.) [16:16] ok, let me get the lspci output for you. [16:17] slyrus: But if you are on the stock kernel and you do sudo nvidia-xconfig It should fix it, (as long as you boot to that kernel again). [16:17] slyrus: But I can also tell you how to install the Nvidia drivers anew. [16:18] http://pastebin.com/RdA8cGbC [16:18] ok, I'll try the stock kernel again and see where i get. thanks for your help! [16:20] \o/ New toy time [16:20] Grr, wrong channel [16:21] slyrus: Laptop or Desktop? [16:21] desktop [16:21] slyrus: 64bit or 32bit [16:21] 64 [16:22] slyrus: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73221/en-us [16:22] slyrus: You need to uninstall what you have, sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [16:23] ok [16:23] slyrus: before you do the [manual] install, you need to turn off the GUI, sudo service lightdm stop [16:24] slyrus: And then run the installer from console mode, (with GUI off). [16:25] slyrus: It is possible you can install nvidia-current (but I wouldn't count on it, because of the custom kernel, just don't know). [16:25] slyrus: The way I told you will work. [16:25] great! downloading. [16:25] okeydokey [16:26] if you happen to run trojan on wine [16:26] can it get data of your root folders? [16:26] with the stock kernel, should a reinstall of nvidia-current fix things too? [16:26] theref: Wrong channel. [16:27] which channel should i ask? [16:27] theref: Why do you want to run a trojan in wine? [16:27] theref: Well, the short answer is no. [16:27] who said I want to run trojan lol [16:28] i said, if "I happen to run" [16:28] theref: If you want to do that, it is much safer to run a virus / trojan in VirtualBox [16:28] ic, [16:28] theref: The answer is no [16:29] thank you for answering the question despite wrong channel, ill try either virtualbox or vmware [16:29] theref, #vbox [16:29] hrm.... distribution-previded pre-install script failed. [16:29] theref: Teddy5090 is correct, do a VM install and then you can do your experiment. [16:30] !vbox | theref [16:30] theref: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [16:31] usr13: you're a genius! thanks! [16:31] maybe we try to attack the problem from another angle. What could be the problem with the Ubuntu 13.10 USB image? (remember: 12.4 LTS was installed nicely from an Image I put onto a USB Stick, whereas Ubuntu 13.10 did nothing after booting and chosing "Try Ubuntu without installing") [16:31] oh cool let me test [16:31] slyrus: NP [16:31] !usr13 | usr13 [16:31] The most a virus can do in Wine is basically just infect the "windows" side of things, and it cannot infect the actual Linux partition because, in most cases, a virus simply doesn't recognize the Linux file system or its files for that matter [16:31] I still haven't solved my custom kernel, but, hey, one step at a time, right? [16:31] !test | usr13 [16:31] usr13: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [16:32] ciao [16:32] slyrus: What did you install? [16:33] who is italian? [16:33] !it | just_mino [16:33] just_mino: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [16:38] Teddy5090: that's not quite right -- Wine Is Not and Emulator [16:38] usr13: kernel 3.11.0-14-generic plus those 331.49 nvidia drivers [16:39] i'd still like to get my custom kernel up and running, but at least I know how to get back to something stable-ish [16:39] jaleo [16:40] wiwiwiw [16:40] argh [16:40] fasmos, what is your ubuntu problem? [16:40] why does it not work [16:42] why my bash command autocomplete not working? like: mv /path/to/file , that mv /path get mv /path , just /path+space, not /path+/ . omg. [16:43] I cannot seem to get ati amd drivers working on my ubuntu.. I just rebooted into a black screen with a cursor that looks like an x with white borders.. [16:43] yeticry: You have to get to a unique point, otherwize you will need to hit tab numerous times for list of options. [16:43] hi. I have installed ubuntu 14.04 in legacy bios mode to get access on boot to my usb key. now I am back in uefi secure boot on mode and I can't see ubuntu 14.04. what do i do so that such an entry shows up ? [16:43] BorisTheAnimal: start into text mode? and try startx? [16:44] i am in ubuntu 13.10 [16:44] yeticry: But if you do not have partial path correct, you will get nothing. [16:44] okay will try that. [16:44] my nautilus crashes if i try to open java class file [16:44] how do i prevent this [16:45] usr13: what is partial path correct? [16:45] please [16:45] help [16:45] yeticry: I don't know. [16:46] linuxuz3r: Don't open the java class file in nautilus. [16:46] why [16:46] i didnt run it [16:46] linuxuz3r: Because it will crash [16:47] (Isn't that what you said?) [16:47] usr13, ok when i opened it a dialog popped up and it says there is no associated program with the class file so i clicked ok [16:47] then it crashed [16:47] don't worry for my, im making a IRC server and im using wireshark for learn irc's features [16:47] linuxuz3r: What is your end goal? [16:48] make nautilus not crash [16:48] linuxuz3r: Okay. [16:49] Hi guys [16:49] fasmos wireshark has nothing to do with irc features, it is just a wifi sniffer [16:49] the bash completion is work fine with ls or cd, but not correct with mv cp ... [16:50] im using IRC too [16:50] ls /good/work get /good/work/ but mv /bad/work get /bad/work [16:51] RFC* [16:51] and 3.12.0 now works. yay! [16:51] slyrus: We knew it would ;) [16:52] and there's the usb device I needed. great. [16:52] when I open alsamixer on the terminal, there is a bar called "Headphones". What does that bar control? I figured if I plug headphones into the speakers jack, it would use the same bar to control the volume... [16:56] yeticry ran it but it gave me this: http://pastebin.com/6XnWFhdy [16:57] Hello.

[17:49] i have a problem with a usb drive who have no format (nfts, fat32, fat16), how i can fix it for recover the data?

[17:51] Satan8, ps -ef > tasks then pastebin the contents of that file and tell me which process you're trying to kill [17:51] basketball: It is like having two sheets of paper, with different sizes. [17:51] bekks, there has to be a way [17:51] basketball: There isnt. [17:52] basketball: Without a scissor, you cannot make the papersheets to be identical. Now think of what you would do with a scissor and a display. [17:52] bekks, when i close the lid of my laptop how do i keep the screen on the monitor [17:52] lickalott> It's a friend drive, he told me a virus fucked it. It have no format, i tried to mount it with mount -t vfat, but it doesn't work. If you want i can show you the "dmesg tail" message. [17:52] i want to create a script that start a specific file in terminal [17:52] How can i do that? [17:52] what is the algorythm used to crypt password that lead to passphrase for home directory^ [17:54] Pencho, I would try gparted to see what the partition table is (unless you know for sure it's vfat). the other thing you could do is see if it even shows up in dev. (i.e. run a while loop in /dev/ and grep for sd) plug in the drive and see if it shows up === chaos_ is now known as soahccc [17:54] bekks, any experience with kvm/qemu? [17:56] lickalott: Yes. Thats why I am using vbox instead. [17:56] lickalott> I tryed to know what kind of format it have with 'Disks', with my other pen said my format... but with this one said: "Contest: Unknown" [17:56] LOL! [17:56] lickalott: Not joking at that point. [17:56] does it support the hardware virtualization? [17:56] whats the support rooom for ubuntu 14 [17:56] ? [17:56] no...i get it. I'm starting to think that way too which is why i am asking [17:57] throw me the dmesg file [17:57] copy paste? [17:57] ? [17:57] pastebin it Pencho [17:57] kk [17:58] bekks, vbox is same of different than virtualbox? [17:58] I want to create a script that starts a specific file from terminal.How can i do that? [17:58] ? [17:58] idk siavoshkc [17:58] lal4, explain more [17:59] !ubuntu14|sia [17:59] lickalott: vbox stands for "VirtualBox".

[18:00] yeah [18:00] join #ubuntu+1 [18:00] lickalott: Thats nonsense. Vbox does support hardwaree virtualization for years now. [18:00] I was asking not telling [18:01] Pencho, have you tried to mount -t ntfs ? [18:01] nope [18:01] give her a go [18:01] if that doesn't work, go grab gparted [18:02] lickalott, This file is a shell script and i can't open it from nautilus with "Open in terminal" [18:02] you want it to run or be viewed lal4 [18:02] lickalott> nothing, it doesn't works [18:02] lickalott, i can open it only from executing the path from terminal directly. [18:02] lickalott, run [18:02] open nautilus > edit > preferences [18:03] go to the behavior tab Pencho [18:03] lickalott, find it [18:04] lickalott, behavior tab?? [18:04] is there a ubuntu system restore feature? [18:04] there is a selection in there that allows you to view or execute [18:04] sorry Pencho that was for lal4 [18:04] lickalott, yeah done that [18:04] lickalott, it runs fine from nautilus [18:04] lickalott, i want it to place a link from this file to docky and execute it [18:05] ahhhh, that's different [18:05] anyone know? [18:05] you need to create a desktop file in /usr/share/applications once created you can search for it in applications and drag the shortcut to the launcher [18:06] not automatically BorisTheAnimal [18:06] if you have a backup you can re-image [18:07] lickalott, do you have any idea for fix it bro? xD [18:07] gparted first. once you can set the filesystem to recognize it photorec will get the stuff back. If not, he's SOL. [18:08] lickalott, i did that but it does not work [18:08] damn.. have to reinstall...... again. [18:09] what doesn't work about it lal4. have you verified the .desktop file? [18:09] BorisTheAnimal: Why? This is not Windows. :) [18:09] anyone here is using eos? [18:09] I know that. [18:09] whats the issue you're having BorisTheAnimal [18:09] foo_: not supported here and offtopic here [18:09] BorisTheAnimal: So what happended that you feel you have to reinstall? [18:10] lickalott, wait a second,how do you create a .desktop file?I created a link from that file [18:10] booted from installing fglrx and it failed it seems [18:10] BorisTheAnimal: Then boot into the recovery mode. [18:10] it's based on ubuntu, is that not enough? [18:10] foo_: No. [18:10] foo_: no, only official derivatives are supported [18:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles [18:11] came into black screen with a pointer that looks like an x with white borders, tried doing the startx but this came: http://pastebin.com/6XnWFhdy [18:11] BorisTheAnimal: startx is deprecated. [18:11] BorisTheAnimal: If you want to start X, then use lightdm, e.g. [18:12] I don't know if I want to do it, someone recommended it to me. [18:12] BorisTheAnimal: Thats was a very bad advice. [18:12] I see. [18:12] BorisTheAnimal: Most likely, you messed up permissions of the X authority files. [18:13] Okay and recovery mode is entered how? [18:13] BorisTheAnimal: "came into black screen with a pointer that looks like an x with white borders" sounds like you have no window manager installed [18:13] BorisTheAnimal: In the grub menu. [18:13] lickalott, terminal=false ? [18:14] grub menu? [18:14] not if you want to run it in the terminal [18:14] BorisTheAnimal: Yes, gub menu, [18:14] !grub | BorisTheAnimal [18:14] BorisTheAnimal: 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 [18:14] is it just me who has a problem reading anything in the Ubuntu Software Center? I have grey text on a grey background! [18:15] bekks, when i shut lid of laptop how do i continue to use the monitor [18:15] lickalott, false if i want it to run in the terminal? [18:15] basketball: Configure that in the configuration program of your graphics driver. [18:15] yanick: have you by any chance changed the gtk theme? [18:15] in ubuntu what is the app that generate passphrase for home directory^ can i have it online^ [18:16] bekks, how [18:16] basketball: You need to tell us which graphics driver you are using before. [18:16] how do i find out [18:16] basketball: which graphics adapter do you have? [18:16] if you simply want the script to run in the background keep it false. [18:16] basketball: lspci | grep VGA [18:17] bekks, I can't find the "how to verify a .desktop file" do you remember how? [18:17] hitsujiTMO, and bekks http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017486/ [18:17] bekks, press shift to enter grub, aye? [18:17] lickalott: I dont even know what that means - "verify a .desktop file". [18:17] BorisTheAnimal: shift or esc, depending on your grub version. [18:18] and when am I supposed to do this? [18:18] there's a command that you can run against .desktop files that will tell you if they are constructed properly [18:18] BorisTheAnimal: After the BIOS screen, prior booting your OS. [18:18] my fusian apu vs catralist black screen was solved by installing the fglrx-updates package [18:18] lickalott: Never needed a command like that, sorry. [18:18] okay thanks, gonna test it now. [18:22] can someone send me the link to the ubuntu server irc? cheers? [18:22] :) [18:22] OliPicard, huh? [18:23] Yup sorry my IRC client crashed [18:23] you mean the server chan? [18:23] Yup [18:23] just booted and same black screen however there is now a box in the upper left corner saying "System program problem detected" [18:24] you'd do better to stay here honestly man. They never answer questions over there. #ubuntu-server [18:24] OliPicard: #ubuntu-server [18:24] Thanks :) they pointed an error out which was a first [18:25] hi there. need some help: i tried to install python 3.3.4 (repo ver is 3.3.2), 13.10. Now i've got 2 problems: 1) used the source tarball and checkinstall, replacing the default python3.3 package. in synaptic, 3.3.2 is shown as installed, in fact its 3.3.4 (interactive python). i coulnd reset that even with reinstalling the package from synaptic. [18:25] sometimes I get the feeling that the problems I get are very rare. [18:25] problem 2): i use a python library (nltk). in order to update it to the new version, wanted to run setup.py. but i get an error that setuptools is missing. python3-setuptools is installed though. how can i fix this? [18:25] aight, so bekks which other VM software have you tried? reason I ask is; I tried vbox first and it was SLLLOOOOWWWW. but the virt-manager with kvm won't launch the VM without the disc in (which is weird in and of itself) [18:26] boot with a live cd, grab the stuff you want, fresh install BorisTheAnimal [18:27] a freshy fresh install just feels better anyway. it's like christmas morning [18:27] no it ain't, not after the third time. [18:27] lol [18:27] yup [18:28] i was joking anyway === matteo is now known as Guest80818 [18:29] so I guess I have to do the terminal way this time. lickalott oh I would have been surprised if you were not. === demophobia is now known as Garmine === Garmine is now known as Guest3407 [18:30] lickalott: I tried, until now: qemu, kvm, xen, vbox, vmware. [18:30] lickalott: Which CPU do you have, exactly? [18:31] promise not to laugh [18:31] intel core duo 2.4 [18:32] lickalott: nothing wrong with a duo... [18:32] lickalott: Which model exactly, ever processor has a model number. [18:32] P8400 [18:32] i lied....its a 2.26 [18:33] lickalott: Thats a fine processor, supporting hardware virtualization. [18:33] maybe I'll give vbox another go. it was just slow for me last time. [18:33] lickalott: Then most likely your vm setup was wrong. [18:34] i wouldn't doubt that. [18:34] Hello, I have a problem connecting to open wifi networks using my USB wifi adapter [18:34] do you have a windows vm? [18:34] lickalott: An answer to that question will not help you at all. [18:35] i was just going to ask how you had yours set up (i.e. % of memory, etc...) [18:35] I'm getting the error: (wlan0): device state change: config -> failed (reason 'supplicant-timeout') [18:36] lickalott: It will be more helpful for you if you tell us how you configured your vm. [18:36] lickalott: Pastebin VBoxManage showvminfo ... of that particular vm. [18:37] i killed it. I need to rebuild. just downloaded vbox again [18:37] lickalott: Which vbox version? [18:38] whats the difference between, just double click the .deb files instead of dpkg -i /path/to/your/deb. when installing something? [18:38] virtualbox-qt 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.5 [18:38] dpkg -i doesn't auto install depends [18:38] but....i just noticed that it says x86. is there a 64 bit VM manager? [18:39] oic [18:39] while software centre installs them for you [18:39] or gdebi or whatever [18:39] lickalott: Dont use that version. Use the latest official version from the official webseite. [18:39] rog [18:40] already looking better....tks bekks [18:41] is there any way to make an exact copy of my system for ISO or USB? [18:42] dd pokeswap [18:42] how do I use dd on a currently running system? [18:43] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19141/clone-a-hard-drive-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ [18:43] does it matter if it is a virtual hard drive? [18:44] virtual hard drive? like a vm? [18:44] am i signed in? [18:45] pokeswap, Not if you use the vm, if you want to boot it as is this can be done, but has it's difficulties. [18:45] pokeswap, What is the end goal? [18:46] so, I boot into a livecd, dd if =/dev/sda of =oscopy.iso ? [18:46] samiralajaad, we see you typing if that's what you're asking [18:46] The end goal is to have a bootable operating system that has the same exact applications, configurations, file, and broser extensions [18:46] alright, just making sure, sorry if i interrupted you [18:47] Is there a way to install Ubuntu on a Mac in EFI mode, no dual boot? [18:47] so you're basically making a live cd with persistence image? [18:47] I guess [18:47] pokeswap, On a hard drive not a vm? [18:48] pokeswap, you can make a vdi out of a copy from your installed system http://askubuntu.com/a/270472 > VBoxManage convertdd ubuntu.img ubuntu.vdi [18:48] but the live cd and persistance have to be redistrobutable. The OS I want to do this to is running in a vm. [18:48] streulma: Yes. [18:48] !install [18:48] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [18:49] pokeswap, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization I think this is what you want, the crux is that a vm to a install on a hard drive is not the easiest way. [18:49] or just a live cd [18:50] and that link will allow browser addons to be saved and files to be redistrobuted? When I use lb config/lb build, I only get a fresh install of the applications on a list [18:50] is this topic channel? [18:52] I'm trying to install a grub from a live CD. It worked, but it did not recognize any kernels. How do I force it to search for kernels? Versions: Ubuntu 10.04, Grub2 (I think) [18:53] Quantinium, type /topic [18:54] hello all. I am trying to get a very simple process to occur with inotifywait. what I am trying to accomplish is anytime a certain folder is modified I want any of the files to be copied from that folder to another folder. here is the code for the script that I am using http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017646/ [18:54] pokeswap, Theoretically anything can be done, I believe the custom cd is limited to additional apps...etc. [18:54] the problem is that when I run that script it says Illegal instruction inotifywait -e modify,create,delete -r /path/to/folder [18:55] any ideas what is wrong here? [18:55] I know how 2 do it with just new apps. The problem is incorperating scripts, files, directories, and browser extensions [18:56] the problem is, Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro, is booting in SATA IDE mode in Bootcamp boot, that's bad on an SSD... ( jhutchins ) [18:57] I run openbox, after 10 minutes of inactivity my screen gets black, then I move the mouse and its back, happens during watching movies in netflix too, how do I stop this [18:58] Also looking for some help with an issue I have with cron [18:58] xjkx: try running "xset s off -dpms" (be aware, you'll need to run it each time you reboot) [18:58] zykotick9: not a problem, will try it, thanks [18:59] pokeswap, You know the limitations of where your at now it sounds like, this channel may just be a slow response in a couple of this e areas is all. [18:59] but one thing at a time. can anyone help with my inotifywait issue? [18:59] these* [19:01] any one here? [19:01] hi everyone. i had a question: if i installed Lubuntu on my system, would i lose any of the programs i installed on Ubuntu, like WINE, Skype, Chrome, etc.? i want to do a complete switch for memory issues. [19:02] im not an expert but i believe if you were installing a new os you would have to reload your programs [19:03] jost, This a 10.04 desktop? How did you use the live cd for the grub install? [19:03] Beldar: yes, desktop [19:03] reddane: lubuntu is just ubuntu with LXDE instead of Unity - so if you just install the environment instead of the OS, you'll keep all programs etc [19:04] jost, How did you use the live cd for the grub install? 10.04 is end of life you know this? [19:04] can anyone help me out with my inotifywait question? [19:04] does anyone in here have experience with ubuntu and super usb wifi antenna? im trying to install it === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Zachary_DuBois|A [19:04] roald: so, it's LXDE that makes lubuntu use less memory? [19:04] Beldar: its a server booted using a desktop live cd in a VM (got the server disk image form the hoster) [19:05] jost, Ah a server, I'm trying to tell if you install grub correctly, can we address that? [19:05] But they gave me disk images for the partitions (including swap...), and I had to recombine them into a real disk image, but that doesn't have a bootloader of course. I'm trying to fix that [19:06] reddane: Mostly yes - Unity is a pretty demanding on your system's resources [19:06] alright. sounds good. thanks, roald! [19:06] Beldar: yep, of course... thats just some background so you can see where I am :-) [19:07] does anyone in here have experience with ubuntu and super usb wifi antenna? im trying to install it. any ideas how to do that? i have the install disk with the drivers [19:09] jost, You might see if supergrub2 boots you in, grub is easier to deal with from the installs terminal. [19:11] Beldar: looks good :-) [19:11] thanks [19:12] jost, I can manually boot grub, and load it..etc, but many time I use that tool makes things easy. [19:12] hi, i have updated the packages of my computer, and since then, I automatically fall off to ubuntu 2d instead of 3d, even when I explicitly ask for 3d in the logging screen. Can someone please help ? [19:14] kristenbb, Do you have a proprietary graphic driver? [19:17] where is amaroka? [19:21] both my laptop and my monitor are 1024 x 768 (4:3) why is there a black boarder on the sides of my laptop [19:21] BEcause the physical resolution of your laptop is higher than 1024x768. === anup11894 is now known as grind [19:32] basketball: it is normally best for systems to try to keep the same aspect ratio, so things don't look squished, circles are still circles etc [19:33] hi everybody.

[19:35] AlanBell: that was the syntax I had found online. when I remove that it still doesn't work === rawr is now known as Guest91542 [19:36] hmm, just running "inotifywait -e modify,create,delete ." in one window and touch foo in another seems to do what I would expect [19:36] tapping twice on a window makes the mouse grab/drag it instead of maximizing it, why? [19:36] AlanBell: Illegal instruction inotifywait -e modify,create,delete -r /path/to/dir [19:36] cp: missing destination file operand after `/path/to/copy/to' [19:37] AlanBell: different error message. which operand could it need? [19:37] sudormrf: one thing at a time, in a terminal window, does inotifywait work on its own? [19:38] AlanBell: good thinking. if I just type "inotifywait" i get "illegal instruction" [19:38] I get "No files specified to watch!" [19:38] sudormrf: custom kernel?

[19:40] My new vps is installed with 11.10, and I'd like to get to 13. How can I do it via the net / command line? [19:41] Rajvi, flash is in the ubuntu repos. [19:41] Is It?? In Restricted-Extras Packages u mean?? [19:41] aberrant, check your VPS support pages howto get rid of that old unsupported 11.10 [19:42] OerHeks: no support - a friend's machine. [19:42] sudormrf: works fine on the pi, I thought the SD card might have something to do with it, or how ext4 was configured, anyhow, you need to go to #raspberrypi to ask there I think [19:42] OerHeks: is there a way to use apt to upgrade? [19:42] Rajvi, It is in that package yes, there is the flashplugin-installer [19:42] as well [19:43] thanks AlanBell [19:43] how about any samba/cron masters?

I was wanting to know I am doing audio stream (from microphone) over my network, and I would like to encode the audio, and I didn't see a duration option or similar on the man page to set a time how long I want to do gapless encoding, any suggestions?

Doing the do-release-upgrade now [19:46] AlanBell: it is :) [19:47] AlanBell: This is the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7017744/ [19:47] ok, carry on then sudormrf, I am not a samba expert, I just didn't want you to waste your time if it was on an environment people here can't easily reproduce :) [19:47] AlanBell: I am trying to have cron run a certain greyhole task and it fails. I can run it from the terminal just fine. [19:48] AlanBell: the PATH variables are right, so I am at a loss. I have talked with the GH developer who seems to think this is not a GH issue. I may be looking at this thing the wrong way in thinking that the cron task isn't executing, but now that I think about it again, I think it is executing but it is failing for some other reason. [19:50] sudormrf: cron tasks run with a very limited environment, such as PATH and so on [19:50] bonsoir la room ! [19:51] j'ai un petit souci suite à une mise à jour, mon server X est down et je ne sais pas comment m'y prendre pour le fixer [19:51] AlanBell: that was one of the first things I was asked to verify. the PATH variables. but they match [19:51] quelqu'un aurait une idée ?

[19:58] bekks: I know... but it has just said a bad setup (following an update) and has some error [19:58] Ran a System Test and there was a failure: Error running /sbin/modinfo r8180: ERROR: Module r8180 not found. Error running /sbin/modinfo r8180: ERROR: Module r8180 not found. ERROR: devices missing - udev showed 0 WIRELESS devices, but NetworkManager saw 1 devices in WiFi [19:58] in 13.10 [19:59] sudormrf: does it work if you run it with env -i in a terminal? [19:59] hm [19:59] bekks: I also then tried executing the command from that path manually and it worked. [19:59] my upgrade is going 11.10 -> 12.04 -> 12.10 -> ... ? [20:00] sudormrf: e.g. env -i greyhole basically runs it with an empty environment [20:00] geirha: oh. let me check [20:00] bekks how do I restart my x server to see the error message [20:00] Should I be worried about that error or no? [20:01] adriana: sudo service lightdm restart [20:01] aberrant: upgrade to 12.04 LTS, then wait until april, when 14.04 LTS gets released. You can upgrade directly between LTS releases. [20:01] ok I try this [20:01] geirha: I want 13.10. [20:02] geirha: using env -i greyhole does work [20:02] aberrant: Yes. 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 [20:02] bekks: perfect. thanks. [20:02] though I don't know why I couldn't do 12.04 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 [20:02] aberrant: A new installlation will be much quicker. [20:03] sudormrf: Yet the exact same command (without env -i of course) fails when run from cron? that seems odd [20:03] AlanBell, i bought the monitor for $5 [20:03] bekks: can't - it's a vps and I don't control the hardware. [20:03] at garage sale [20:03] bekks: no console. [20:03] aberrant: you cant upgrade a vps that easy. [20:03] bekks, I'm under manjaro by the way :) [20:03] adriana: Then please ask the manjaro support. [20:04] geirha: correct [20:04] in 13.10: Ran a System Test and there was a failure: Error running /sbin/modinfo r8180: ERROR: Module r8180 not found. Error running /sbin/modinfo r8180: ERROR: Module r8180 not found. ERROR: devices missing - udev showed 0 WIRELESS devices, but NetworkManager saw 1 devices in WiFi [20:05] just wondering is there a command i can use to get the chmod number of a file? [20:05] OliPicard: Why do you want to do that/what are you going to do with it? [20:06] aberrant: you can do 12.04 -> 14.04 in a couple of months (or now if a little bit brave) [20:06] AlanBell: yeah, not that brave. [20:06] will just take the long road :) [20:07] OliPicard: would be better to just learn how to translate the numbers [20:07] aberrant: the upgrade from LTS to LTS isn't scary, it's just that 14.04 isn't released yet. [20:07] Flannel: I know [20:07] Flannel: thanks [20:07] Ok Thanks, [20:07] Flannel: I'm headed to 13.04 in 2 minutes, so.... [20:07] is there a handy letter to number generator? [20:07] OliPicard: otherwise, use stat on the file [20:08] OliPicard: x = 1, w = 2, r = 4 [20:08] OliPicard: Why are you interested in knowing the number? It's generally better to use letters when adding/removing. [20:09] OliPicard: stat -c %a file [20:09] cheers [20:09] OliPicard: I recommend this reading: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions [20:11] how can I add setpci to grub2 in /etc/grub.d ?

ERROR: devices missing - udev showed 0 WIRELESS devices, but NetworkManager saw 1 devices in WiFi [20:13] hi. What's the keyboard shortcut to change screen for a window ? [20:14] I know ctrl-alt-shot-arrow to move around window of desktop but not screen [20:15] I tried doing what the website said for me trying to update to a supported version, and this is what I got. (Check the link) http://imubuntuhelpless.simplesite.com/ [20:16] hey guys, i just bought a new touchpad and i'm trying to get clever about setting up gestures for it. there are some things i can do with it that don't appear to be picked up and used as gestures [20:16] Abigail59200: you following the normal upgrade or eol upgrade instructions? [20:17] well, i should say, XInput sees that i'm doing them and that they are different, but Unity doesn't do anything with them or recognize the gesture [20:17] i figure it'd be cool if I could map that Xinput event to a key or something, but i dont know how to do that. anyone familiar with that type of thing? [20:17] nautilus crashes on me when i open class files can someone help [20:17] eol. But when I did it told me to update or use --fix-missing. So i did update regular, and it gave me that. So, kind of both [20:20] streulma: Make a backup of any file you will edit, then gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub ; add your parammeter after the terms "quiet splash" in that file. [20:20] Bashing-om: Who are you talking to? [20:21] Abigail59200: please reread the eol upgrade instruction. note the changes you must make to /etc/apt/sources.list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:21] hm [20:21] I seem to be stuck. What version is "Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)" ? [20:21] compiling a new --production package for sqlite under node.js getting an error with a failed package in NPM. [20:21] hitsujiTM0: will do [20:21] aberrant: that is 14.04 [20:21] hah [20:21] is 14.04 released?

[20:22] Abigail59200: that was directed at streulma XX11 entry. [20:22] aberrant: no, that way lies more pain than just sticking with it [20:22] aberrant: no. you must reinstall to downgrade [20:22] crap. ok [20:22] thanks. [20:23] really, it will be fine, just more frequent updates will be available for a couple of months (you don't have to update all the time, just lots of updates are available) [20:23] oh yeah, 14.04 LTS is comming out soon [20:23] how stable is it right now? [20:24] aberrant: you'd want to ask that in #ubuntu+1 [20:24] 12.04 is goin to have more patches if you are concerned with stability [20:24] does anyone here have a chromecast [20:25] !anyone | basketball [20:25] basketball: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [20:26] http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/b0g_aeibOD0/maxresdefault.jpg [20:26] hitsujiTMO: How come it only talks about 9.10 and down? Then it talks about how to get 9.10 to 10.04 but nothinh about 10.10 [20:27] So nobody has a solution to my issue? [20:27] porchaso0, its Pov from you hommie? [20:27] Abigail59200: because there are specifics to watch for them. the generic instructions are what you want to be reading [20:27] Fevix: is it causing you an actual problem? [20:28] hitsujiTMO makes since [20:28] Fevix, what is ut problem [20:28] how do i play a dvd on chromecast [20:29] basketball: you can't [20:29] Abigail59200: it just needs updating I expect, probably because nothing dramatic goes wrong with upgrades these days :) [20:31] AlanBell: Thats the problem. Whenever I do a EOLUpgrade it tells me to do a regular upgrade. When I do that it says Error cant fetch files either ignored, or old ones used. [20:32] AlanBell: http://imubuntuhelpless.simplesite.com/ [20:33] Abigail59200: you need to modify your sources.list. its looking at a non existent repo [20:33] how switching tab in irssi ? [20:33] Abigail59200: so you edited sources.list and changed things to old-releases.ubuntu.com? [20:33] hi again. I run intel_gpu_top and it managed to dead lock my laptop. CAn anyone paste me the answer someone gave me before ? [20:33] Abigail59200: that upgrade log indicates you still have us.archive.ubuntu.com in sources.list [20:34] adriana: escape left or escape right and more detail here http://www.irssi.org/documentation [20:34] AlanBell: I don't have server X ! Ok thx [20:35] hi guys, i'm looking for a program that enables me to read pdf files in terminal. [20:35] of course, the program should only print te text [20:35] User1: heh, fun requirement, probably some bit of ghostscript will do that [20:35] AlanBell: So I have to edit sources.list and change things? Because really, this computer I got is "pre-owned" and I am stuck with the problems because I don't know who did what to it [20:36] gnome-open file2open.xxx === Kryptron_ is now known as Kryptron [20:36] Abigail59200: yeah, however it might be worth doing a fresh install if it is pre-owned and you don't want whatever is on it [20:37] crazybotsmoker: than you [20:37] User1: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6187250/pdf-text-extraction [20:37] AlanBell: checking your link, thank you [20:37] AlanBell: Could you hand me a link to do a fresh install. [20:37] Abigail59200: do you have a DVD drive in it? [20:38] is it possible to use apache to route a service running on port 8080 as a subdomain of my actual website? [20:38] AlanBell: One that kind of does not work. [20:39] bjkgukgjjkgkjk.jlkhjjk [20:39] rymate1234, #apache [20:39] Abigail59200: well http://www.ubuntu.com/download is the download point, that will get you a .iso DVD image that you can either burn to a DVD or copy to a USB stick to install from [20:39] sorry [20:39] vee-trev: hello :) [20:39] i inserted my dvd why didnt a pop up menu show up [20:39] hey AlanBell ... [20:40] rymate1234: yeah, mod_proxy can do that, I use it for http://hencam.libertus.co.uk/video ;) [20:40] User1: mc ships with very good file viewer - mcview [20:42] hi. There's no "Enable workspaces" field on my Ubuntu. How to get it back? Why someone disabled multiple workspaces? [20:42] I mean that: http://i.stack.imgur.com/wQ3hD.png [20:43] AlanBell: I have it already downloaded. (Did that this morning, just in case ;) ) Do you recommend a type of burnable Dvd/Cd or USB stick ? Appearently they are all used the ones I have. [20:43] i inserted my dvd why didnt a pop up menu show up [20:43] Abigail59200: all should work (if big enough) [20:45] How may i setup port blocks on separate NIC's? [20:46] why isnt my laptop seeing dvd [20:47] !firewall | noideas [20:47] noideas: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [20:48] noideas: that all can work with multiple interfaces, but if you have a specific question then someone might be able to help [20:48] bazhang, you online === shaun___ is now known as wafflejock [20:50] Just so I understand correctly. If I specify a NIC by IP the rule only applies to the NIC with that IP. As in block port 80 on 192.168.0.1 and set no rule for 192.168.0.2 [20:50] Tech support! :p [20:51] 192.168.0.2 will continue to allow port 80** [20:52] When I log in with the admin account, I get a black screen. I can open Terminal, but even that behaves weird. When I log in with another user account (as I have now) all is working fine. What could be wrong with the desktop of the admin account? [20:52] what is a good way to develop a system initialization script? I'd like to start with a clean VM and then run my install script. if its not perfect I'd like to restore the VM to a clean state, tweak the install script and try again. I used to use VMware workstation for this. It was fast and convenient with snapshots. Using virt-manager now. I don't see snapshot support? [20:54] AlanBell, when i tried to set the regionset http://paste.ubuntu.com/7018300/ [20:54] demianb, Any back story leading to this for the channel? [20:54] Lope: VMware workstation has snapshot support, as does VirtualBox. [20:55] Beldar, I had never used the admin account before. Always worked under this less-privileged account. Decided to login as admin for the first time, and this occured. [20:55] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7018300/ [20:55] bekks: I know. I'm asking how the hardcore linux people do it. Surely the guys with massive beards don't use noob tools like VMware and virtualbox? [20:55] demianb: Are you a Unity user? [20:55] basketball: What am I supposed to do with a paste without any context? [20:55] I mean guys like Linus etc [20:56] Lope: Why not? [20:56] demianb, The account you make on install is an admin, is that where the problem is? [20:56] usr13, not sure. How to check that? [20:56] Lope: If you want to know what Linus uses, you have to ask him. [20:56] !details | basketball [20:56] basketball: sorry, I have no idea [20:56] basketball: 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 ..." [20:56] Beldar, yeah the first account. During install I immediately created a 2nd account, which I have been using since. [20:56] demianb: What do you have installed? version etc. [20:56] So the problem is with the 1st (admin) account. [20:57] the problem with VMware workstation is it doesn't run on some of the newer kernel versions. [20:57] bekks, i ran sudo regionset and got http://paste.ubuntu.com/7018300/ [20:57] demianb: Ubuntu 13.04? [20:57] This is 13.10 [20:57] basketball: Please stop pasting things into my query. I am supporting in here, nowhere else. [20:58] ok bekks what do i do [20:58] basketball: What is regioset, what do you need it for, and what do you expect to happen? [20:58] http://askubuntu.com/questions/185587/why-does-dvd-playback-still-not-work-after-installing-libdvdcss2 [20:58] demianb: How long ago did you install? [20:58] How do we remove PPAs?? [20:59] Personally I suspect there is an issue with the graphics driver. Although I was able to bring up Terminal (and mouse cursor also shows on the black screen). [20:59] my laptop doesnt see dvds in the dvd drive [20:59] skinux: Using ppa-purge [20:59] basketball: then maybe there's something wrong with the drive [20:59] About a month ago. Perhaps more. [20:59] Hey guys, any VirtualBox users in here? Trying to configure a bridged network for a centos guest. I can never get Bridged to work on debian distros :/ [20:59] Thanks. [20:59] demianb: Did you do any updates after install? [20:59] ron1n: Centos is no debian based. [20:59] bekks, I mean, I can't get centos to work under an ubuntu host. [21:00] with a bridged interface of course [21:00] can someone explain how this is used? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/asn1Decoding.1.html [21:00] ron1n: Create a vm, select "bridged" in the settings of the vm. If you have a problem configuring Centos, then please seek centos support. [21:00] demianb: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:01] Well, I was never prompted for updates before. Could that be because of basic user privileges on this user account? BUT, when I logged in as admin and I was staring at the black screen, an update prompt came up with 187MB of updates. First I dismissed it, later after I rebooted I decided to install them. But the screen is still black after login. [21:01] bekks, My main question being there are two interfaces ubuntu made on it's own whim. lxbr0 and virbr0 [21:01] should I be using these? [21:01] ron1n: Both interfaces do not have anything to do with virtualbox. [21:02] bekks, Fair enough. So I should use my host interface then [21:02] demianb: How do you function with the black screen? How do you bring up the apps you use? [21:02] ron1n: Of course. [21:02] usr13, I am logged in with a 2nd account now which works fine. [21:03] I get this message even though I have curl installed: configure: error: Missing required libcurl dev >= 7.18.2 ? [21:03] The admin account with the black screen I can bring up Terminal with ctrl+alt+T. === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [21:04] Should I try those commands now and see what happens? [21:05] demianb: Did you install Ubuntu 13.10 or Xubuntu 13.10 or Kbuntu 13.10 or...? [21:05] Ubuntu 13.10. [21:05] Yes sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:05] Okay, brb. Will probably have to reboot again to get back to login screen... [21:06] demianb: Well, I suppose it could be nomodeset but not sure why the othe account would have normal screen. [21:06] Or is there a keyboard shortcut to log-out? [21:06] curl and libcurl are they different? [21:06] BorisTAUbuntu: Yes. [21:07] BorisTAUbuntu: yes and no. Curl is an application and libcurl is a library used by other applications. They use the same code though. [21:08] !nomodeset | demianb [21:08] demianb: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:08] okay, well I have libcurl 7.32.0 installed but when running a command in terminal it says "configure: error: Missing required libcurl dev >= 7.18.2" [21:09] Hmm okay, will look into that. [21:09] BorisTAUbuntu: Install libcurl-dev [21:09] what is ntp? ntp git build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev is returning command ntp not found, sudo apt-get install ntp didnt fix it [21:10] XMLnewbi, i would assume that's a list of packages you need to install [21:10] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [21:10] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [21:10] BorisTAUbuntu: you'll need the libcurl4-gnutls-dev package (or nss-dev or openssl-dev, depends on which SSL library you want to use) [21:10] BorisTAUbuntu: close the software center or wait for other apt-get processes to finish [21:11] BRB. [21:11] BorisTAUbuntu: sudo apt-get install libcurl-dev [21:11] demianb: Ok [21:11] right never mind Iḿ too hasty as treebeard used to say in lotr [21:11] right, but I want to install the right packages, and not track down apt-get versions of each. man not many google hits on what ntp is [21:12] XMLnewbi: Zillions of results. NTP stands for "network time protocol". [21:12] XMLnewbi: network time protocol? [21:12] XMLnewbi: what are you trying to do? That command you just typed makes no sense whatsoever. [21:12] how to know which ssl library to get? [21:12] https://github.com/MazaCoin/MazaCoin [21:13] Is there way to identify a NIC on one machine with rwo different device names [21:13] install pre recs, ntp git build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev [21:13] BorisTAUbuntu: Something tells your whats missing? === Baloo is now known as Guest10777 [21:13] XMLnewbi: and? [21:13] Yeah a command [21:13] ntp returns command not found, so im trying to track down what command ntp is [21:13] BorisTAUbuntu: And we have to guess that command? [21:13] BorisTAUbuntu: grab the openssl version, it tends to be the best supported one [21:13] XMLnewbi: sudo apt-get install ntp [21:14] lol, yes was my first thing i tried [21:14] sorry bekks, CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I /opt/AMDAPP/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86" ./configure --enable-opencl --enable-scrypt [21:14] XMLnewbi: Couldn't install it? [21:14] im on 12.10 [21:14] XMLnewbi: thats a list of packages to install, not a command: sudo apt-get install ntp git build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev automake make [21:14] XMLnewbi: sudo apt-get install THE_LIST_OF_PACKAGES_GOES_HERE [21:15] XMLnewbi: the thing you copy pasted from that page is a list of packages, not a command.

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 ..." [21:15] ah, maybe its just a typo? lol [21:15] Did the update & upgrade. But no luck. I have a 'system program problem detected' showing here now. [21:15] XMLnewbi: On your side, maybe. [21:15] ntp is apt lol ok im crazy [21:15] on their github they have npt [21:15] mlocher: no, it's not a typo. You assumed it's a command. It's not, it's a list of packages [21:16] XMLnewbi: ntp isnt apt. [21:16] err [21:16] Details show: com.ubuntu.apport.apport-gtk-root [21:16] XMLnewbi: no, it's not a typo. You assumed it's a command. It's not, it's a list of packages [21:16] ok [21:16] bekks http://infinitecointalk.org/index.php?topic=1128.0 scroll down to 20-21 [21:17] BorisTAUbuntu: did you read what I said? Just grab the openssl version. [21:17] BorisTAUbuntu: No, why? [21:18] bekks, you just asked me for more info, I just gave you some! Seveas sorry yes I did thanks. [21:18] usr13, I have a dialog now which shows a error report... Could get some clues there? If I know what to look for. [21:18] BorisTAUbuntu: I asked your for more information, not for an URL. [21:18] demianb: What error does it give? [21:18] demianb: (What does it say?) [21:18] bekks, I don't know the output Iḿ just following a guide [21:19] BorisTAUbuntu: if you've installed the libcurl4-openssl-dev package you can retry that command that failed. It may fail again, but should fail with a different error now. [21:19] demianb: Error from what command? [21:19] Just a crash report. [21:19] demianb: From the update command? [21:19] After reboot. [21:20] demianb: If you can tell us what it says, maybe we could help. Is it booted up yet? [21:20] demianb: Do you have option to login? [21:20] BorisTAUbuntu: I cant help you with that guide, since I am neither interested in bitcoin mining, nor I did ever use an AMD/ATI graphics card. [21:20] Yes, I am logged in now with the working account. [21:20] how do I download opencl? [21:20] It says a lot of things, trying to send you a screenshot... [21:21] bekks, okay.

[21:23] demianb: It is dual boot? [21:23] Yeah it is. [21:23] demianb: What are you booted into now? [21:23] Ubuntu. [21:23] What user did you boot to? [21:23] Seveas well I thought the whole idea of this channel was for people having no idea what to do could come here and get some. [21:24] Im just using the account that works. It's a 2nd account with basic privileges. [21:24] What is the original user name [21:24] ? === JordanJ2|Cajs-BN is now known as JordanJ2 [21:24] This one? Demian. [21:24] BorisTAUbuntu: absolutely, that's why I'm answering and giving you little nuggets of advice like the last one :) [21:24] demianb: What is the other account name? [21:24] Administrator. [21:24] demianb: (THe one that does not work?) [21:24] Hello, Can anyone tell me a guide to use a IPv6 tunnel on Ubuntu 12.10 (ChicagoVPS) [21:24] I named it Administrator. [21:25] JordanJ2: that really depends on the provider of said tunnel. Most ipv6 tunnel brokers have good help pages for linux, consult those. [21:25] demianb: Ok. Open a terminal and type sudo - Administrator [21:25] demianb: Ok. Open a terminal and type su - Administrator [21:25] (typo) [21:25] Seveas, I'm trying with Tunnelbroker.net but it's not working [21:26] usr13, done. Apperently the Administrator name is just a display name. The account name is admin, so I did: su - admin [21:27] demianb: See my PM. [21:27] Having a rough time getting vino-server to run, stay running, run at startup (on Lubuntu Saucy).. If I try to launch from command line, it says it can't open the display [21:27] JordanJ2: https://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?&board=2.0 may be helpful for you [21:28] I can run x11vnc (on a different port)... but it doesn't play nicely with Apple Remote Desktop's vnc client... (which I use for most remote management) [21:28] LJSeinfeld: are you trying to start it from a shell window inside the gui or from a real terminal (the ones you hit with ctrl+alt+f1) [21:28] from another machine via SSH [21:28] LJSeinfeld: well, that explains :) [21:29] ?? [21:29] try this: DISPLAY=:0.0 vino-server [21:29] ok -- brb [21:31] I haven't turned my laptop running Ubuntu on for a while, and now it doesn't appear to be booting to the normal graphical desktop. All I get is a blank screen reading: 'Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS computername tty1' with a login prompt. When I login I get a normal command prompt. How can I get my desktop back? [21:31] ejcweb: does anything happen if you hit alt+F7? [21:31] ejcweb: sudo service lightdm restart [21:31] hello! please, help me... how can I delete device from /dev/mapper? [21:31] akaWolf: you shouldn't. [21:32] akaWolf: and even if you do (sudo rm ...) it'll come back at the next reboot. [21:32] akaWolf: What are you actually trying to do? [21:32] Sevas - got a different error.. may know what it is.. trying to address that and then I'll report back (a few mins) [21:32] err Seveas [21:32] Seveas: Yes, it switches to a different view with various services being started (each line ending with [ OK ] [21:33] ejcweb: is it continuing or does it seem to hang? [21:33] Seveas: The last line looks a bit corrupted actually, reads: [21:34] bekks: I try to get access to /dev/sde1, but I can't do that, becouse there is exist in /dev/mapper/sde1 [21:34] '* Checking battery state... te plymouth is up-dispatcher [ OK ] [ OK ]' [21:34] akaWolf: What are you _really_ trying to do? Why do you need/want access to /dev/sde1? [21:34] ejcweb: hmm... Does the machine have a working network connection? [21:35] bekks: I want to format /dev/sde1 [21:35] akaWolf: And how...? [21:35] !details | akaWolf [21:35] akaWolf: 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 ..." [21:35] Seveas: Yes, it does. Although it doesn't know about my new WiFi network. [21:35] bekks: mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n "boot" sde1 [21:36] Seveas: It gave me this error ... and then started working.. [21:36] (vino-server:2237): EggSMClient-CRITICAL **: egg_sm_client_set_mode: assertion 'global_client == NULL || global_client_mode == EGG_SM_CLIENT_MODE_DISABLED' failed [21:36] akaWolf: sudo mkfs ... [21:36] ejcweb: ok, in that case you can pastebin some things from the commandline, which will help in troubleshooting. sudo apt-get install pastebinit [21:36] ejcweb: and then ps auxf | pastebinit [21:36] akaWolf: And it needs to be: sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n "boot" /dev/sde1 [21:36] bekks: it's not that case [21:36] bekks: I know about sudo. [21:36] akaWolf: Not which case? You need to specify /dev/sde1 not just sde1. [21:37] Seveas: I guess I won't be able to install pastebinit without being connected to my WiFi (unless I can set it up through the terminal) [21:37] bekks: ok, so... it is a "sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n "boot" /dev/sde1" [21:38] akaWolf: 0301 223559 < bekks> akaWolf: And it needs to be: sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n "boot" /dev/sde1 [21:38] LJSeinfeld: well, you really should be copying the entire environment from a process inside the gui to make sure all things work. One way of doing that is with https://github.com/seveas/hacks/blob/master/stealenv.py [21:38] bekks: it's not work! [21:38] ejcweb: oh, with working network connection I meant up and running :) [21:38] bekks: mkfs.vfat: unable to open /dev/sde1: Device or resource busy [21:38] ejcweb: did you configure it before? (as in: if the gui were up and running, would it connect automatically?) [21:38] akaWolf: Then check why it is in use. "mount" should reveal it. [21:39] Seveas: No, not to this network. [21:39] bekks: it's not exist in "mount" [21:39] ejcweb: hmm, that's going to make this slightly trickier. Can you plug in a network cable temporarily? [21:39] akaWolf: Then check using lsof or fuser. [21:39] Seveas: You kinda lost me there... (still learning... probably forever.. ) [21:39] Seveas: I'll work out the network connection and get back to you. [21:39] bekks: it's just because there is exist /dev/mapper/sde1 [21:39] LJSeinfeld: learning forever is what we all do :D [21:39] akaWolf: Thats not true. [21:39] ejcweb: k [21:40] bekks: why? [21:40] akaWolf: You need to know whats using /dev/sde1 [21:40] hm [21:40] lol -- well this one kinda went over my head... a lot of terminology in linux that doesn't always connect for me [21:41] so if windows have .bat files, what do linux have that would basically do the same, .sh? [21:41] bekks: sudo lsof /dev/sde1 [21:41] LJSeinfeld: things like DISPLAY=:0.0 set environment variables. This specific one tells the cpmmand which display to use. There are similar variables for the DBUS session bus address, gnome session management and more. When SSH'ing in, these will be set to different things than in the GUI, you can copy these environment variables from existing GUI processes to make things like starting vino-server from an ssh'ed shell work properly [21:41] bekks: lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs [21:41] BorisTheAnimal: File extensions mean nothhing in linux. [21:41] akaWolf: what's the output of sudo dmsetup status? [21:41] LJSeinfeld: and I needed to do this quite frequently, so I wrote that stealenv.py to automate it :) [21:41] if I add --dislplay=:0.0 to the autostart command in lubuntu, will it likely start vino-server at boot? [21:42] dhpiggott: $ sudo dmsetup status [21:42] sde2: 0 15374205 linear [21:42] sde1: 0 144522 linear [21:42] so -- you call the python script first? Or are you calling it at boot / login? [21:43] akaWolf: i think linear means you have LVM of some sort setup [21:43] Hey, i am trying to install Ubuntu alongside with windows. Windows in on SSD, and i have HDD for my data. So i decided to shrink HDD. Now i am not sure what device should i choose for boot loader? Should i select SSD? [21:43] i'm not an LVM expert though [21:43] also note -- that I'm just trying to start the vnc server via a ssh connection -- not trying to tunnel in or anything. The machine is on my LAN [21:43] akaWolf: Check sudo pvdisplay [21:43] dhpiggott: ok, thx.. [21:43] hi to everybody back her after long time :) [21:44] LJSeinfeld: I call it like this: eval $(stealenv.py $(pidof nm-applet) --export); vinp-server [21:44] bekks: sudo: pvdisplay: command not found [21:44] akawolf u need to install pvdisplay it dosent come preinstalled [21:44] akaWolf: Pastebin "lsb_release -a" please. [21:44] akaWolf: sudo pvs [21:44] gotcha - I think [21:45] dhpiggott: sudo: pvs: command not found [21:45] juniour: ok [21:45] my goal is to just get vino-server to load when the machine boots (and auto login in a default account) [21:45] ok, what juniour said [21:45] omg!

[22:10] it's LVM [22:10] akaWolf: How do you know? [22:11] if they are not mounted then who is using that [22:11] juniour: Thats the question to be answered. [22:12] try to remove and reinsert it [22:13] its not lvm as i dident see in system column lvm [22:14] bekks: because after "sudo dmsetup remove_all" it's work, but after making partition and maybe after kpartx it's exist in "dmsetup status" again. it's not expected... [22:14] if this was lvm in system column you will get linux lvm [22:14] lvm only works with sde [22:14] I don't understand why [22:15] akaWolf: It doesnt. You dont even have LM utilities installed.

[22:45] , I am trying to decode a P12 of DER file so that it outputs something similar to http://pastebin.com/GgFig6mY [22:47] Seveas: No further unfortunately. I installed all available updates in case that made any difference, but it appears not. [22:48] ejcweb: ok, for some reason X is not running. Try to start it with /etc/init.d/ligthdm start [22:48] ejcweb: errors should then show up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:48] awi29: looking at your paste**g6mY .

I've reached this point before, and been unable to run any commands after this point (had to reboot by power button) [22:53] ejcweb: o...k... that sounds like a driver (most likely the video driver) is crashing your kernel :/ [22:53] Hi!

Any ideas? === jono is now known as Guest92194 [22:54] that's really annoyingly tricky to debug, even more so remotely [22:54] Seveas: That could make sense, since the very last line I see on my screen seems corrupted: 'saned disabled edit /etc/default/saned h is up [ OK ] [ OK ]' [22:55] ejcweb: would a reinstall be very annoying? [22:55] Hi there, I have an old dell computer that i'm trying to run lubuntu on. it has a pentium 4 processor at 3ghz, a little over 512mb ram. i just successfully installed lubuntu using the 13.10 alternate installer. installation completed, i removed the disc, and rebooted. now i'm stuck on the splash screen. what should i try to troubleshoot the issue? [22:55] Seveas, this doesn't work for my p12 file [22:56] awi29: what's the error/ === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [22:57] Seveas http://pastebin.com/6Uekczuz [22:57] staticwarp: use a computer from this century. 512MB is pushing it, even for lubuntu. Besides, that p4 is eating power like a madman, buying a new pc will be cheaper :) [22:57] Seveas: Reinstalling would be fairly undesirable. In the worst case, I could do it - I presume that would keep my home directory around? (otherwise I could backup I guess since I do have terminal access). === Guest95629 is now known as Noskcaj [22:57] Seveas: that is a great suggestion, but not an option at this time. :P [22:58] staticwarp: can you get to the terminal Ctrl+Alt+F1 [22:58] ejcweb: it would not keep your homedirectory, a backup would be needed. Maybe try booting from a livecd first and see if that works. If it doesn't, your hardware is busted. If it does, a reinstall may be the simplest solution. [22:59] Seveas: Ok, I'll have a play around with reinstalling video drivers first, and the try the LiveCD route if I can find one. [22:59] awi29: looks like you need to export from pkcs12 to pem first and then use the second command. the pkcs12 manpages tells you how [22:59] wafflejock: i'm unable to get to the terminal, the computer is unresponsive to keystrokes. [22:59] Thanks for you advice and suggestions Seveas! [22:59] ejcweb: good luck! [23:02] Hello. A recent update has caused a black screen bug on my laptop. Would anyone be willing to help me out? [23:03] staticwarp: not really sure what to tell yah, you can use right shift to get the GRUB menu to see if you can diagnose what's going on or use a liveCD but I'm not familiar with details of debugging the installation from a LiveCD [23:04] ejcweb: you probably need to actually go with the DVD or a bootable USB setup since I think all of the actual CD installations are only the minimal discs [23:04] wafflejock: thanks, someone here suggested on thursday that it may be a pae issue. will the command cat /proc/cpuinfo work in grub? i guess i should just try it lol [23:05] staticwarp: yeah not sure about that, I have found a PAE compatible minimal CD out there though [23:05] it may have been a slightly dated version like 12.04 though not sure [23:05] I believe I was warned about it not being a PAE install when I tried with other ISOs though [23:06] wafflejock: i'll give it a shot, thanks [23:06] er rather I think it's all non-PAE (physical address extension if I recall correctly) [23:06] is webupd8team reliable ? [23:06] staticwarp: np good luck [23:07] YamakasY_: I believe so are you having a problem with it?

[23:11] Dextralus: oh you say after you login you get the black screen? so you do get the login screen... but yes from the black screen would still be interested if you can get to a terminal [23:11] Yeah, I boot from Grub (windows dual boot), then get the purple loading screen with charming orange dots, then I hear the load sound and the screen is black. No cursor. [23:12] I have problem with I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 version When I try to do open it I get the following output: "cannot recognize file (similar to that text)" ANd it looks like I have no permissions almost to anything [23:12] I think someone just needs to connect to my pc [23:12] and see himself... [23:12] if that possible [23:12] wafflejock: get my issue ? [23:13] YamakasY_: sorry can't make heads from tails out of that (don't know what it means to puppetize oracle jdk) [23:13] wafflejock: install it using puppet :D [23:14] Dextralus: it sounds like something may have gotten borked with either your X config or your video drivers [23:14] wafflejock: No terminal from black screen. [23:14] Dextralus: oh [23:14] Dextralus: hmm [23:14] SergeyServer: what did you try to run it and what was the exact output? [23:14] Yeah, I've gathered from one of the help pages, but I don't know how to move on because I don't know how to peform any of the suggestions [23:14] I cannot explain this [23:14] sorry very much [23:14] but it is as I say I cant I just cant [23:15] SergeyServer: well, then we really can't help. [23:15] I have 2 programs I need to run here [23:15] they are for ubuntu [23:15] they are used on ubuntu [23:15] wafflejock: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it/162087#162087 [23:15] but to run them you need to configure them [23:15] or something like that [23:15] I did configure what it needed [23:15] but something is missing [23:15] and since im not very familiar with it, I dont know what to get or fix or whatever [23:18] ok [23:18] please teach me how to create and remove folders [23:18] I have no permission to do it... [23:18] and please not with using terminal mkdir [23:19] SergeyServer: the enter key is not punctuation. Ask questions on a single line. [23:21] Dear ubuntu support team or members, I have a question so please answer me: I cannot create folders or remove them, also I cannot copy or paste them to most of the directories I am at. So please tell me how can I allow myself to do it. Currently I have no permission in it, even while I am the owner of this PC and logged as in my own account. [23:23] SergeyServer: where are you trying to create directories? YOu really should only be doing so in your homedir. [23:25] in filesystem, why not? I actually don't know what I shall do to run my application and I got nobody to help me [23:25] SergeyServer: In your home directory, you will be able to create any folders and files you want. [23:26] yes, I have my hostbot there [23:26] SergeyServer: "hostbot"? [23:26] usr13: that thing he's trying to get help with but refusing to say what he did... [23:26] yes, to host games on warcraft 3 battle.net and garena realms [23:27] that is a program I want to run, but I had never did on linux systems. There's an analog for windows but is outdated [23:28] SergeyServer: Ok, well I don't know much about the games. You'll have to ask someone else about that. But, if you do it in user-space, you should be able to do everything you need to. [23:28] what do you mean "user-space" ? [23:28] SergeyServer: What is your native language? [23:29] Ukrainian, but I understand russian too quite well [23:29] !russian | SergeyServer [23:29] SergeyServer: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [23:29] hi, how secure is the encryption used by deja dup? [23:30] what algorithm is used? [23:30] lol [23:33] I have a small problem: My /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are reflected to show a hostname, yet when I login via ssh, a different (an old one I had) is shown. What am I missing? [23:33] trinque: deja-dup uses duplicity, which in turn uses gnupg for encryption. So it's as safe as gnupg, which is considered pretty sage. [23:33] zaitzev: Have you rebooted since changing it? [23:34] usr13: several times [23:34] What kind of problem can cause nomodeset to still leave me at a black screen after an update? [23:34] zaitzev: hostname #What does it say? [23:34] russia is empty [23:34] and I cannot send messages there [23:34] SergeyServer: Ok, sorry. Just continue here. [23:35] usr13: My /etc/hostname shows domainname, my /etc/hosts has a line like: 127.0.1.1 domainname.tld [23:35] can somebody try to connect my pc and try to run this application? [23:35] zaitzev: Is that what you want it to say? [23:35] zaitzev: but what does the hostname command say? [23:35] is this even possible? [23:35] usr13: To clarify, the above are examplified and not the ACTUAL names. [23:35] usr13: but you get the idea. [23:36] Seveas: it shows the old hostname I had. [23:36] zaitzev: No I do not get the idea. You will have to set the hostname yourself, edit /etc/hostname [23:36] usr13: As I have done. [23:36] zaitzev: and what are the old and new hostname? [23:37] sudo hostname your-new-name [23:37] actually I have no idea why I even ask here [23:37] Seveas: He apparently doesn't want to tell us. [23:37] I got never helped since 2009 and my first time use ubuntu... [23:37] SergeyServer: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [23:37] 12.04 ubuntu 64bit [23:38] usr13: rebooting now, let's see if my forgetting to do 'hostname name' was the snafu =) [23:38] SergeyServer: that's because you don't seem to want to be helped. We ask for more information so we can try to help, yet you refuse to provide it. So you get ignored instead of helped as now you're only a nuisance. [23:38] zaitzev: No, it will come back to you as you see in the file /etc/hostname [23:38] why you refuse to logon onto my pc and see yourself? [23:39] some packages are missing and thats the problem, probably, or I need to run it in other way [23:39] usr13: Yeah, and /etc/hostname contains the new I have set, e.g newname.com [23:39] but I got no idea how to do it [23:39] zaitzev: Ok, that should do it. [23:39] and no friends or family [23:39] usr13: that's the thing, it didn't. [23:39] I'm so lonely [23:40] zaitzev: so what are the old and new name? [23:40] Seveas: Why is that relevant? oO [23:40] zaitzev: Do you also see your new hostname across from 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts ? [23:40] zaitzev: because I'm guessin that "newname" is nothing more than "oldname.domain" and you think that should work. [23:41] I got guide how to make it to run [23:41] zaitzev: but since I don't like to guess, I ask for information :) [23:41] im just too newbie to linux [23:41] zaitzev: As Seveas suggests, it is difficult to deal with hypothetical names [23:42] zaitzev: ... it's too confusing ... [23:42] zaitzev: He can tell you how to do it but with hypothetical names, it is too confusing. [23:43] usr13: with hypothetical names we can only give hypothetical solutions :-) [23:44] zaitzev: Let's say you want to have hostname of blackjack [23:44] Seveas & usr13: It has been changed now, I'm not quite sure what exactly did it, but it seems to be fixed. [23:44] zaitzev: Ok. good.... [23:44] such a tiny, weird problem hehe [23:44] thank you both anyway! [23:44] NP [23:44] usr13: no blackjack, hold'em!

I just installed ubuntu [23:50] SergeyServer: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7019093/ [23:51] °aircrack [23:51] !someone | tizzyman [23:51] tizzyman: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [23:52] Im not sure which drivers to get and how to actually install them [23:52] SergeyServer: that's no huge error :) you merely need to install libgmp-dev [23:52] For my wifi adapter which is linksys600n v1 [23:52] It seems that the chipset is ralink [23:52] tizzyman: afaik you only need to install the aircrack-ng package [23:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7019102/ ok [23:53] this is huge one [23:53] I am running ubuntu 12.04 on a laptop with ATI Radeon 5470. After an update this morning Ubuntu gives me a black screen after the loading screen. Using nomodeset still gives me the black screen. Would anyone be able to assist me with this? [23:54] E: Unable to locate package libgmpdev [23:54] SergeyServer: read my message again, you misspelled the name :) [23:54] SergeyServer: also, don't do shit like that in /usr/src, you need to do this in your homedir. Wipe it from /usr/src and start from scratch in your homedir, that'll solve the permission error. [23:55] ugrh [23:55] it will be too hard to do [23:55] well, do it anyway. This is wrong. [23:56] this is how guide tells me [23:56] Is it common as a somewhat beginner linux user to be spending far more time downloading/configuring tools and downloading/configuring other tools in order to fix the other tools and thereby creating new problems that need new tools to be configured and fixed in an endless cycle rather than actually developing something cool? [23:56] www.codelain.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual_installation_(Linux) [23:56] SergeyServer: then the guide is broken :) [23:56] no im sure its not [23:57] junknown: not quite. What are you trying to accomplish? [23:57] damn [23:57] if somebody could install it for me [23:57] T_T [23:58] I have already installed version [23:58] SergeyServer: I think you should find a newer guide. (At the bottom of that page it says: "This page was last modified on 26 September 2010, at 13:01.") [23:58] but it doesn't want to run === xubuntu is now known as Guest6768 [23:58] there's no better [23:58] seveas: Nothing in particular. It just seems that I can never ever get anything working quite right. [23:58] I got files of newer bot [23:58] it works on other guy server [23:58] and it will work on my, if it's properly setup
