[00:00] has no one created a "listening" script to see when providers bring a new version out [00:00] then i could handle it all manually [00:00] Minty__: The reasons they aren't are in the lists. [00:00] guess not eh [00:00] Minty__: apt does exactly that. [00:00] Minty__: It's kind-of official vs non-official [00:01] Minty__: Commercial services frequently have licensing issues for unofficial packages. If they're not in the partner repos there's probably a good reason. [00:01] shortcut for terminal i thought was ctrl + shift + t [00:01] not working [00:01] ctrl + alt +t [00:01] ah thanks [00:02] Minty__: "Ubuntu features a comprehensive package management system for the installation, upgrade, configuration, and removal of software.

[00:02] i can login [00:03] and sync etc.? [00:03] yeah, you can [00:03] Minty__: Or, better, you can instal chromium [00:03] Minty__: yes, everything you can do in chrome [00:03] usr13: why would i want to install chromium? isn't that an entire OS? [00:03] no [00:03] Minty__: no, it's the open source build of chrome [00:03] !chromium | Minty__ [00:03] Minty__: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [00:03] !info chromium | Minty__ [00:03] Minty__: Package chromium does not exist in saucy [00:03] The difference between Chrome and Chromium is that Chrome includes some proprietary features such as a built-in PDF reader, but nothing too important [00:03] there's Chrome OS and Chromium OS [00:04] ok [00:04] so i want chrome browser.. [00:04] chromium browser sounds great [00:04] sudo apt-get install chromium gives error [00:04] ooooor use firefox! [00:04] isthatme: web developer, need to be able to test on all [00:04] sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [00:04] Minty__: :P, oh well, but my point still stand [00:04] However the following packages replace it chromium-bsu: i386 chromium-bsu [00:05] chromium-bsu is a game [00:05] ah ok [00:05] apt-cache search is a handy tool [00:05] !info chromium-browser | Minty__ [00:05] Minty__: chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser.

[00:06] !one | Minty__ [00:06] Minty__: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [00:07] usr13: i pay for dropbox, leaving it isn't an option [00:07] got about 40gb in there [00:07] sudo apt-get chromium-browser give me a error :/ [00:07] wow ubuntu workplace switcher is awesome [00:07] Minty__: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/nautilus-dropbox/ [00:07] shortcut key for that? [00:07] forgot the install [00:07] Ohh, really [00:07] thanks [00:08] Minty__: ctrl + alt + arrow keys [00:08] dheers [00:08] cheers* [00:08] Where can I found a list with the commands for terminal? [00:08] wow even the transition is awesome [00:08] usr13: hang on, doesn't that mean it's available via apt-get? [00:09] Minty__: https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=linux [00:09] https://www.dropbox.com/help/246/en [00:09] usr13: yea i know the first link [00:09] usr13: but you linked to nautilus-dropbox on the apps.ubuntu site, they're all available via apt-get aren't there? [00:09] Minty__: I don't use it. How would I know? [00:10] Someone help this guy out, he's having dropbox withdrawal. [00:10] usr13: i thought all things on apps.ubuntu.com were available through apt-get? [00:10] LucasReis: http://ss64.com/bash/ [00:10] mnemon: think you may have been late joining a discussion about PPAs > providers [00:10] Minty__: not really no ... [00:11] what does this mean "To import our GPG keys into your apt repository, perform the following command from your terminal shel" [00:11] Minty__: the packages are signed with public key crypto [00:11] Thanks, mnemon [00:11] Minty__: Means just what it says. [00:12] not sure what that means [00:12] what would be the advantage of doing as it says [00:12] no errors when installing the packages [00:12] You have to do it otherwise it won't update [00:12] robby cannon da man [00:12] starcannon [00:12] gamoholic: wait, so importing those keys will auto update it [00:12] anyone familiar with ralink chipsets? [00:12] in ubuntu [00:12] No [00:12] how does the argument for PPAs come into that then? [00:12] oh [00:12] confused :| [00:12] It will allow you to update it [00:13] Just run the command :P [00:13] gamoholic: is there a way of checking for the update? [00:13] if one is required i mean [00:13] sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [00:13] Minty__: It is one of the disadvantages of doing the minimal install, (this stuff would have been done automagically if you had done full install). [00:13] usr13: what would have? [00:13] usr13: surely this is dropbox specific? [00:13] usr13: don't confuse him! ;) [00:14] arent ralink 2800 chipsets with mac802 drivers supposed to be able to inject? [00:14] Minty__: Getting GPG signatures. [00:14] gamoholic: can't i just chuck that in ubuntu's equivelant of a bash script and have it run every day? [00:14] mnemon: sorry.... [00:14] Minty__: What? [00:14] Oh [00:14] usr13: this is dropbox specific, surely nothing in the install stage would get me these "gpg signatures" [00:14] ubuntu doesn't have bash scripts? [00:14] I believe you chose auto updates, so it should already be doing that [00:14] Ben64: bash is the default shell in ubuntu. [00:14] Ben64: no idea [00:14] Minty__: why not do a normal install? seems better suited for you [00:15] gamoholic: hang on... so when i said "adding that would auto update it" and you said "no", did you mean "yes"? [00:15] Minty__: All packages use gpg signatures [00:15] Ben64: sigh... it's not accessible via apt-get [00:15] Sorry, I am confusing you. I really didn't mean to :) [00:15] Ben64: don't confuse him, normal install does not install dropbox for you. [00:15] Minty__: i mean install of ubuntu... [00:16] I would recommend using this for dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/ubuntu/dropbox_1.6.0_amd64.deb [00:16] That should install dropbox and add the GPG keys for you [00:16] why is steam in software center for $0? :/ [00:17] majod: it's free to install, you then pay for games [00:17] but theres no install button, only "buy" button [00:17] Minty__: apt repositories have .deb packages, the guide from dropbox site i linked tells you how to add their repository which will be used whenever you use apt(-get) in the future to update your system. [00:17] i already have it from steam website, im just wondering why its like that in software center [00:17] majod: i'd imagine that once you click it, you will be charged $0 [00:18] m1sf1t: yeah, but ubuntu one account is required [00:18] thats not nice [00:18] mnemon: ok but will it auto update? [00:18] majod: haha yeah, i've literally just signed up in order to ask a question on the ubuntu forums [00:18] lol [00:18] Minty__: whenever you run updates with apt-get, yes ... or if you use the ubuntu autoupdater or whatever. [00:19] hm, guess it's off to askubuntu then [00:19] at least one person is getting help i guess, at the expense of everybody else [00:19] Gotolei: what did you ask? [00:19] majod: i don't think they'd spam you if you signed up [00:20] if there's a way to change system-wide horizontal scrolling speed [00:20] m1sf1t: i know, but i just dont want to :) [00:20] it's about 1/3 the speed that vertical runs at, and google's been failing thus far [00:20] majod: yeah, it is a pain [00:20] i bypassed all the optional installs at os installation [00:20] which ones would be helpful to me? [00:20] Gotolei: you mean with mouse scrolling? [00:21] is auto update enabled by default or do i need to *do* something [00:21] both mouse and touchpad [00:21] i have a mouse with one of those tilting scroll wheels [00:21] :o [00:23] Minty__: you need to manually update unless you use something like ubuntu auto updater(should be installed by default). [00:24] Gotolei: you will probably need to dig into the window managers/X settings to change that ... [00:24] clear [00:25] mnemon: yeah i figured as such, but i haven't found anything relevant yet [00:25] Gotolei: this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/285689/increase-mouse-wheel-scroll-speed [00:25] im gonna try that too because its also too slow for me [00:26] hm, not sure if that works for horizontal scrolling too [00:26] skimming the readme [00:26] Minty__: you could just do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade just before you've finished using your computer, and leave it running. you will have to confirm a couple of things though [00:26] "only the 4th and 5th mouse buttons" [00:26] m1sf1t: i want to enable that all the time [00:26] m1sf1t: what do i need to download to do that [00:27] Minty: either by setting up a crontab, or using the ubuntu software updater, like mnemon said [00:27] Minty__: the ubuntu updater is definitely easier === One is now known as Guest54656 [00:28] mpohaz [00:28] wai djo [00:28] m1sf1t: how do i use that [00:29] m1sf1t: my whole point is i don't have that and i want to install it [00:29] Minty__: In Software and Updates open the Updates tab. Set the options that say "When there are updates" to "Download and install automatically" [00:29] on doit trouver un forum privé [00:29] Minty__: errm, i've not really used it, but it occasionally just loads and offers to update, yours should doby default aswell [00:29] gamoholic: where is "in software and updates" [00:29] Drop the "in" [00:30] Minty__: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoWeeklyUpdateHowTo and/or: http://askubuntu.com/questions/193823/how-can-i-use-cron-apt-to-download-and-install-updates-between-midnight-and-5am [00:31] Minty__: if you don't have it installed, which it should be :S try sudo apt-get install software-centre [00:32] Minty__: One thing you should do is check to see if your update manager is set to LTS or not. [00:32] helpz [00:32] Minty__: tail -n 1 /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [00:32] m1sf1t: i have the software centre yea === Guest54656 is now known as SoninK1 [00:33] Minty__: ah, ok :) [00:33] m1sf1t: but gamoholic said there was a tickbox, can't see it [00:33] I use Lubuntu, it is probably different for you [00:33] I haven't used Unity in many years [00:33] Never looked back :P [00:34] Minty__: errm, let me see if i can find it [00:35] Minty__: i am using KDE though, so just like gamoholic, it might be different [00:35] I believe the guide that usr13 posted should work [00:36] Minty__: ok, do you have "Update Manager"? [00:36] m1sf1t: i don't know [00:36] Minty__: tail -n 1 /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [00:36] Minty__: do you use unity? [00:37] m1sf1t: yes [00:37] Minty__: type Update Manager in the search bar and see what you get [00:38] Minty__: Or just start typing, by the time you get to the u or the d or the a it will come up, hit Enter. [00:38] Minty__: Or just start typing, by the time you get to the p or the d or the a it will come up, hit Enter. [00:39] oh yea i have that [00:39] so when i download dropbox [00:39] We knew you would.... [00:39] do i need to include that second line of commands in order for it to be involved in the auto update process [00:40] What second line? [00:41] usr13: $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5044912E [00:41] usr13: and i installed it through the software centre - is anything through there automatic updating? [00:42] Minty__: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoWeeklyUpdateHowTo and/or: http://askubuntu.com/questions/193823/how-can-i-use-cron-apt-to-download-and-install-updates-between-midnight-and-5am [00:43] For auto-updates ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6 [00:43] ok thanks [00:43] YOu are welcome ;) [00:43] Minty__: gotta go, good luck :) [00:44] m1dnight: cheers [00:45] is anyone here using krusader? [00:46] or what is good total commander alternative? [00:49] majod: "total commander" ? You mean mc?

[00:51] usr13: nope, those are something different...nevermind, i guess i stick with krusader [00:54] Whenever i install anything, i keep getting "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:59] Minty__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [01:00] Minty__: Wait, do you have apt running? (A package manager open?) [01:00] usr13: "DbDriver "config": /var/cache/denconf.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" [01:00] yep [01:00] sure do... [01:00] usr13: i'm just using it to install stuff [01:00] what's gone wrong? [01:00] Nothing. That's normal. [01:01] usr13: so are those installs failing? the programs look fine [01:01] should i just ignore that error? [01:01] Minty__: What errors? [01:01] the returned an error code (1) bit [01:01] q [01:02] just installed irssi [01:02] and the last thing it says is "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [01:02] Minty__: ps aux |grep apt [01:03] yea it returned some text [01:03] Minty__: Which means ________________ ?

S 00:45 0:00 usr/bin/python/usr/share/apt-xapian-index/update-apt-xapian-index-dbus [01:04] etc [01:04] Minty__: (It means that you have your package manager already doing stuff for you. You must let it finish. You don't start two instances of your package manager at once,. [01:04] usr13: it;s the only thing i've got open [01:04] Minty__: You only have one terminal window open? [01:05] yes [01:05] update-apt-xapian-index-dbus isn't a package manager. [01:05] Minty__: Is the update-manager running? [01:05] how do i check? [01:05] Minty__: Do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:06] Minty__: Tell me what it says.

Right>? [01:07] sharon: Just ask :) [01:07] no, it lists errors encoutered while processing [01:07] and then like 20 lib things [01:07] Minty__: who #Tell me what that says.

[01:08] but basically, can you not have more than 1 terminal open once you do? [01:08] when you login. [01:08] ok [01:08] Minty__: You can have as many as you want. [01:09] i am loading driver for canon mg2220 and has hit point of question with programs to load by terminal. don't know how to do that. [01:09] so i can install several packages at once usr13 ? [01:09] Minty__: No [01:09] Minty__: YOu can install lots at once, but you have to do it all in one command. [01:09] Minty__: You can have many terminal windows open, but you can't run more than one instance of the package manager at once [01:09] why not? [01:09] it ought to be threaf safe [01:09] thread* === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Zachary_DuBois|A [01:10] Minty__: Here is the deal, you probably have apt running now and it is either installing packages, or waiting for you to ok the install of some packages and you need to either finish or wait until it finishes.

I have a similar problem when i go to lock the screen... i go to the menu then lock screen, and it says something about 'something blocking' [01:19] any idea how to fix this, should he update the grub pkg in the iso prior to installing ubuntu to HDD, if so how to do that [01:19] if i open an application on the ubuntu side, then everything works fine... go back to the win7, interact, then back to UB and i have the problem again... like it's a mouse 'focus' issue [01:19] any ideas?

[07:07] find is searching and indexing BTRFS SNAPSHOT (subvolume)... :( [07:08] E.G. some stupidity is embedded in indexing process, that does not recognize BTRFS snapshots... [07:10] So every time, I make Snapshot subvolume of my working install, it wants to index it, Because stupiid BTRFS always enable snapshots (even r/w if not careful) by default in the ROOT of file system... [07:10] And Find happily starts indexing it from the start... [07:11] So my conclusion is, locate/updatedb/find in Ubuntu must be patched to reflect not to index snapshots of BTRFS volumes by default [07:15] Hi [07:15] How can I use dbus-monitor to check if devices are announced? [07:15] Any ideas?

[08:26] klloveall, restart, enter bios, select USB as first boot device [08:26] cristian_c: you mean "background-color" in file-Pagesettings?

I'm running into a rather frustrating problem with regard to importing scripts. [08:35] MarkMarkDavies, yes, in fuse. ecryptfs can encrypt one folder to another, so you can have semi-painless encryption. + add correct permissions. That's the only way. [08:36] Carmen_: /join #python [08:36] Thanks. I'll have a look around. [08:36] i'm trying to install osmocomGMR, i'm getting an error running "make TARGET=uhd" [08:36] iptable: doesn't there exist a program being an alternative to fetchmail that does encryption on its own? I wouldn't like to shift to an encrypted file system just because of a single program. [08:36] http://pastebin.com/z1sZab2r [08:37] MarkMarkDavies: what are you trying to achieve? [08:37] gordonjcp: configure mutt so I could send and retrieve e-mails. [08:37] MarkMarkDavies, well, you don't need to shift to encrypted filesystem. you mount /dir1 to /dir2 using ecryptfs and whatever you put in dir2 appears encrypted in dir1. that's that. [08:38] MarkMarkDavies, an alternative is called getmail, but I don't know what the features are. you will need to check. [08:40] film [08:40] MarkMarkDavies, and I think I was thinking about encfs when I said ecryptfs actually. encfs does in-dir encryption without the need for separate encrypted volumes. [08:41] JAY QUELLEN [08:41] iptable: OK, I've got it, but to be honest I can't understand why programs like fetchmail don't do it on their own [08:41] WHEYR JAY QUELLEN ATY [08:41] !english|agent_white, [08:41] agent_white,: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [08:42] MarkMarkDavies, alternatively encrypt and store the file encrypted and create a script which on boot will create a small ramdisk and decrypt to it so that fetchmail can read it.

Later I will look if it's possible to enforce encryption... [08:59] hi guys. i'm trying to remaster ubuntu 12.04 to be touchscreen compatible (building a kiosk browser only thing). i want to hide the mouse cursor, if possible via bash script (as in preferably some x* command). unclutter is not what i want as it shows the mouse cursor when i touch the screen, and hides it 0 seconds after i release my finger; so no permanently hidden cursor :/ [08:59] MarkMarkDavies, cool, have fun. [08:59] bluenemo, unclatter [09:00] bluenemo, I just sent this while still reading your text. nvmind :D [09:00] np ; [09:00] ;) [09:00] bluenemo, one way is to check how unclatter does it (downlaod source) and modify to hide forever [09:01] hm. was more like thinking empty pngs as theme.. cant find a tutorial for that and dunno where the files hide / how stuff works [09:01] also dont have to much time for it :/ [09:01] iptable: I know. I just thought he was speaking of "iptables", the command. [09:01] ;) [09:01] as in 'show invisible' cursor [09:01] bluenemo, somewhere in the /usr/share clatter, possibly in theme(s) or pointers [09:02] agent_white, oh, ok. [09:02] ;) [09:05] ok, at least this getmail works.

I've installed old ubuntu 10.10... is there any way that I can make it funcional ? [09:19] :) [09:19] functional*** [09:19] emirx, it is functional. not sure what your issue is. [09:20] can't install software !!! [09:20] emirx, functional yes. supported no. [09:20] emirx, yes, I can [09:20] !eol|emirx, [09:20] emirx,: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release?

[09:21] emirx: You can't install software because that release is end of life, you would need to install 12.04, 12.10 or 13.10 to be able to install software [09:21] emirx, Gnome2 is no longer supported eitrher. Why don't you use "Gnome Fallback" if you really want to? [09:21] !notunity | emirx [09:21] emirx: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [09:21] never heard of gnome fallback :) [09:22] emirx, now you have. Click on the small icon on the login window and choose your UI. You can choose Unity or install something else [09:22] emirx, the favourite by people who don't like unity is "Cinnamon". you add a repo, install cinnamon and enjoy. [09:23] which ubuntu is best for my office computer... it has pentium dual core, 2GB or Ram and some crapy graphic card [09:23] emirx, alternatively install "linux mint mate". Mate is a linux mint continuation of Gnome2 (a fork, they support it). Linux Mint is ubuntu with a different UI and has got really low requirements. [09:23] emirx, !lubuntu is optimized for older/lower hardware like yours [09:23] aha [09:23] emirx, does your pentium support PAE? [09:23] !lubuntu [09:23] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [09:24] have no idea :( [09:24] emirx, cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep -i pae [09:24] hi, i installed ubuntu on a beagle board. now i get "plymouthd: ply-terminal.c: 611 ply_terminal_open: Assertion `terminal!= ((void *)0)' failed." on startup. ssh doesn't work and i get no shell with ctrl+alt+f1. i have access to the sd card with another computer, is there anything i can do except reinstalling everything? -.- [09:25] I did that cat* it listed lots of lines... that means it supports PAE ? [09:25] emirx, yes. you are lucky then. Ubuntu will still work on your aged CPU ;) [09:26] I now it will, I've installed 13.04 some days ago, but it had lots of bugs... computer was blocking and graphic card wasn't working very well [09:26] emirx, I would suggest you install "Linux Mint - Mate Edition", it's gnome2, has no HW requirements and comes with all the bells and whistles (unlike LXDE). It's ubuntu as well under the hood so you get all the goodies of ubuntu user. [09:26] emirx, what graphics card btw? [09:27] I'll install linux mint Mate... I think it's best solution for me now... [09:27] I don't know it's office computer, it came with it... never checked it :-\ [09:27] emirx, if using nvidia GPU, once installed, go into Hardware Drivers (or restricted drivers, whatever they called it now), and install the proprietary nvidia driver to make it work well. [09:28] emirx, and of course, once you install it, first run upgrade, before installing anything else! Just like ubuntu. Otherwise, you may break the dependencies [09:28] yes I know about restricted drivers... I'm old with ubuntu, but I miss those days with gnome2, for me that's a gold age... this gnome-shell and unity is all crap [09:28] emirx, to check, just type in: lspci [09:29] emirx, it's not crap, it's aimed at other users than you and at different usage scenarios than yours. For your use, there is mint mate ;) [09:29] it's ATI radeon HD 2600 series [09:29] :-\ [09:29] just install gnome-panel to get the gnome2 feeling [09:29] will do [09:30] thank you people... I'll do all this, will come back if something goes wrong :) [09:30] bye :) === mixomathoze_ is now known as Mixostuff [09:31] geirha, I had a feeling that latest ubuntu will run slow on this old CPU and GPU. Even with gnome-panel, 3D is still required to render the menus. Hence "mint" proposal which is better-suited for old cars like his one. [09:31] okay, seems like it had problems with my fstab [09:31] s/cars/computers ... where is my mind? === rickyb98 is now known as RickyB98 [09:32] Hi, I am trying to install Testcube, they provide a .deb file. I entered the dpkg - i filename.deb but nothing else happened and now im stuck [09:32] iptable: Oh it even runs gnome-classic with compiz? [09:34] geirha, "mint mate" doesn't even use compiz by default. It's gnome2 fork with no GPU acceleration required. Uses metacity as well. [09:34] Hi, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Eclipse using the software center and I tried to install the Andoid SDK. It failed because it is missing file permissions. I could install it as root and also run it but not under my normal user [09:34] am I doing something wrong or can I only develop andoid apps as root now? [09:34] geirha, the GUI is actually called "Mate". Gnome2 fork basically, supported by Mint community. The rest of the OS is Ubuntu. [09:35] black0ut, you are doing a lot wrong. [09:35] :) [09:35] could you give me a hint or two what I need to do to run it properly? [09:35] black0ut, Android SDK can (and should) be downloaded with it's Eclipse and everything else. The 2GB zip file contains everything you need, with preconfigured eclipse, the required SDKs, emulator, etc === konata is now known as Konata400 [09:36] where can I find this complete package please? [09:36] black0ut, on android website [09:37] ah, I got it, the bundle download [09:37] ok [09:37] thanks [09:37] black0ut, developer.android.com/sdk [09:37] how to create a adhoc n/w to connect a device using my ubnutu terminal ? [09:37] but why do they offer a plugin then, if they know it will fail to install? [09:37] pranav, adhoc wifi or cabled? [09:38] black0ut, for other development purposes? [09:38] black0ut, and it doesn't fail. just requires a lot of knowledge to get running. not worth it. [09:38] iptable:wifi [09:38] hey, is it true that say the g++ packacge on the opkg manager is smaller than the g++ package on apt-get ? [09:38] pranav, http://unixlab.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/setting-up-ad-hoc-wireless-network.html === konata is now known as Konata400 [09:39] pranav, you will need wpa supplicant and iwconfig packages as well to get that to run [09:39] iptable:i have both :) [09:40] iptable:can i connect to the same n/w in windows too ? [09:40] cornel_, depends on package? the actual binaries will be same size (or simlilar depending on compile parameters). [09:40] pranav, adhoc is between 2 machines only. if you want a proper network, that's another story. [09:40] iptable: ok, thanks. [09:41] iptable:nah, lets say i run linux in 1, and create the n/w like you pointed out. and the 2nd is running windows. can i set my ip, subnet etc. to adhoc both ? [09:41] or it should be ubuntu only ? [09:41] pranav, yes. WiFi adhoc is a standard [09:41] pranav, it will work with MAC as well [09:42] iptable: how to get dynamic ip settings back using iwconfig [09:42] pranav, you cannot use dynamic IPs with adhoc. [09:42] iptable:actually, i am running busybox on linux kernel [09:42] iptable: so is there a way to get the opkg packages on ubuntu? [09:43] cornel_, uhm, why? [09:43] iptable:i meant after i am done [09:43] pranav, just connect how you would normally to the desired network and network manager will configure it to dhcp [09:43] iptable: im working on a beaglebone, with limited memory, and i think packages on angstrom were specifically designed to be minimal [09:43] i have so many active sockets with path @/tmp/dbus-**** how do i get more info on these ? [09:43] pranav, it's not a "swtich" to move between DHCP and static. you configure it as and when needed. [09:44] cornel_, limited RAM/disk? [09:44] iptable: pranav: You can certainly have a DHCP server on one end of an AD-hoc connection. That's what network-manager does by default for sharing internet connections to AD-hoc wifi. [09:44] iptable: disk [09:45] cornel_, download source, compile it yourself with minimal settings if you really want to save 1MB [09:45] cornel_, although you will break a lot of stuff. [09:45] iptable: ok thanks [09:45] @find Kazdin [09:45] iptable, Jordan_U thanks guys === petru is now known as Guest46584 [09:46] quit === JoAnneThrax is now known as JoAnneTagonism [09:51] hey guys [09:51] iptable:i can't find the network 'fermilevel' on the windows host [09:51] im having an issue with vsftpd and i have this error in my syslog for it: [09:52] Mar 3 04:34:17 roadhouse kernel: [129801.001742] vsftpd[5879]: segfault at 7f93791002df ip 00007f92787147b8 sp 00007fffe32ea6f0 error 6 in vsftpd[7f92786fc000+26000] [09:52] can anybody make some sense out of that? [09:53] pranav, you have to configure it as "adhoc". It's not advertised. [09:53] pranav, for more info check on how to connect to adhoc on windows. I wouldn't know that and have no windows to check. [09:54] mastersh1ke, your vsftpd has segfaulted. did you get it from the repos the normal way:? [09:54] Hi, all. I just upgraded azureus via apt-get, and now it routinely gives me the "impossible to bind to a local socket" error. When I try to load a torrent, it launches a new instance of vuze, instead of just passing the torrent to the old one. I found some discussion of the same issue here: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/01/20/%23ubuntu.html, but I'm unsure how to pass the -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to the applica [09:54] tion...or even if it works? === mastersh1ke is now known as matthew1 [09:55] iptable: yes, apt-get install [09:56] matthew1, segfaults on what? startup? [09:57] iptable: yes [09:57] iptable: upon its startup [09:57] matthew1, tried it with default vsftpd config? [09:58] iptable: not yet but i lost the original .conf [09:58] matthew1, try that. default .conf [09:58] Oh noes [09:58] Trusty not supported :( [09:59] Looks like trusty is yet in preview [09:59] onlty, it will be in 1 month [09:59] yay [09:59] onlty, hence the version is 14.04 for Trusty. I.e. 2014-April [09:59] I am using trusty [10:00] same here [10:00] so? [10:00] !beta [10:00] If you install a development version of Ubuntu Trusty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. [10:00] yes, what the bot said. and do that DAILY! or you will fail to keep up [10:01] hi guys! which is the channel for greek speaking newbies? [10:01] hello people.. Is 14.04 LTS lightweight ? compared to its previous version ? [10:03] kanthalaraghu: 12.04 hasn't been released yet. Support and questions in #ubuntu+1. [10:05] iptable: so i removed & reinstalled and now there's no segfault in my syslog for the current process id however my original problem is still here where vsftpd does not open the port for connections [10:06] iptable: should I install java using sudo apt-get install or via the software center? [10:06] Does anyone know how to set the java.net.preferIPv4Stack to true, either for the application specifically or globally? [10:06] matthew1, well, you didn't say you had that problem. now configure it to listen on port. and configure it correctly so it doesn't segfault. [10:06] black0ut, whichever way you want [10:07] black0ut, for apt-get, install jdk and if you want firefox plugin for java, install icedtea. [10:07] It's a supposed workaround for this issue, but I don't know how to apply it... [10:07] iptable: thanks [10:09] I know that, what about the developer preview ? [10:12] ...I would ask on #java, but the channel seems to be invite-only. Also, it was the apt-get upgrade to azureus that caused the problem, so I'm just hoping the java setting workaround will solve it. [10:14] Anyone?

[10:27] How can I make sure that the Qt configuration tool applies the settings contained in that file? [10:27] Any ideas?

[11:15] Hi there, I'm having issues with my Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS machine's file system (I presume it to be the FS at least). Anyone that could lend a hand in resolving this? [11:16] Yorrick: few more details would be good (no idea from that) [11:16] Well, I can browse the file system perfectly fine, from both my Windows machine (over the network) as well as from my Ubuntu machine itself [11:16] It always happens now [11:16] In the first install it worked fine [11:17] But I can't play any video files (.mp4, .vob, etc.) in any media player [11:17] hello is there something I could do to fix this? : http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=67715 [11:17] AlanBell after updates and other application installs , the problem developed.

[11:19] I just did cfhowlett, but it didn't change anything unfortunately [11:19] locale -a lists zh_CN.utf8 and zh_SG.utf8 how do I remove them? [11:20] opnchaudhary: you can look back in /var/log/dpkg.log to see what has recently been installed, and maybe remove anything that is a background service recently added to see if you can find what is blocking it, otherwise there are some ACPI settings to tweak [11:20] opnchaudhary: http://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer has some more details and suggestions [11:21] the point is I own an old web cam creative live!

NO video files? Not even .ogg? [11:22] Yorrick: do you get any error messages? [11:22] I don't have .ogg files on it for testing, so I can't answer that, although I've tried .mkv, .vob, .mp4 [11:22] I even downloaded a driver called gspcav1-2007 but I am fearsome to install it because it is an old one and it might build incompatible binaries... any help? [11:22] Yorrick: is it files over 2GB in size or even small files? [11:22] 1 sec AlanBell , I had one but I can't remember exactly what it was, I'll check what it was [11:23] Yorrick, install vlc player - codecs are integrated. if still no joy, check your gpu card. [11:24] Right, a .avi file in VLC gives me an error saying something about an input-output error. It's about 730mb in size [11:24] and cfhowlett, I can't watch it on any machine, not even on my gaming PC (which has a GPU that is far beyond what is necessary to view video) [11:25] Note though, I'm trying to watch it over my LAN, streaming the video from my Ubuntu machine's file system to my windows machines [11:25] But on my Ubuntu machine itself, it's not playing the files either [11:27] Yorrick: that could be flaky stuff going on, yes if the disk can't keep up with the video and is throwing IO errors. Could be hardware even. [11:28] The HDD on which the video files are located is a brand-new 4TB 7200RPM disk, so I doubt it's my HDD that's causing the problem [11:29] Yorrick: does dmesg have any io errors [11:29] Although, when I tried watching the .avi earlier on my Windows machine, it threw me an error saying "Bad File Descriptor" (in VLC) [11:29] & No idea Ben64 , I'll have a quick look [11:31] Hmm, I probably should've checked for dmesg errors when I first saw I had this problem [11:31] my bad! I post wrong test report secction!! http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=67716 [11:31] Yorrick try youtube/vimeo to test the gpu failure theory [11:31] Installing that package now see what happens [11:31] my terminal's pretty spammed with unhandled error codes & I/O errors [11:32] Just checked on Youtube, videos playing just fine [11:35] when i have opened programs and i click log out to change user, ubuntu asks them to stop and waits, or just kill them all? [11:36] Thanks AlanBell it worked. It works only after a reboot is done after the changes. [11:37] In case anyone wants to have a look at what dmesg threw at me, feel free to dig through: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7027002/ I don't know enough about this stuff to make a whole lot of sense of it :) [11:38] Yorrick, only time I've seen that stuff is on failing hardware ... [11:38] Yorrick: is it one big partition or two 2G partitions? [11:39] I'm not entirely sure AlanBell , I'll have a quick look as I can't remember [11:39] & cfhowlett , I'm not saying it's not possible, but it'd be a surprise, and if it is a hardware failure, what hardware is failing? [11:39] Yorrick, hdd/ssd [11:40] Yorrick: there is something odd about things over 3G, it might be the hdd or the controller or something else [11:40] of course I mean 3TB rather than G [11:42] Yeah, I figured AlanBell , although either I'm looking at the wrong thing, or I truncated the 4TB disk and the seperate disk (for OS etc) into 1 big 5.5TB partition, not sure if I'm right though. [11:42] Yorrick: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html my guess is that it is duff hardware (not unheard of for new drives to be faily) or it is a 4TB partition and something involved only supports 2TB partitions [11:43] & cfhowlett , that'd be the biggest surprise, if it was my GPU or something like that, I'd be a lot less surprised [11:43] Yorrick: I had some fun and games with a 3TB drive a while ago, worked on Ubuntu but was dodgy on a raspberry pi, had to repartition it to less than 2TB units [11:43] Well Alan, I'm not really an Ubuntu expert, so I had my dad set up the system, so I'd have to ask him exactly what he did & how he did it [11:45] AlanBell, I remember having issues with creating the drive at first, so I'm not really surprised by the fact that anything over 2TB is dodgy, but then it doesn't really make sense that it's worked for a few months & now, all of the sudden, it doesn't work anymore [11:49] Yorrick: thats really bad. bad hard drive or bad cable or bad motherboard or bad psu or bad something else [11:50] Ben64 , is there any way to pinpoint what is failing? Or will I simply be forced to replace parts & see which ones I need to permanently replace? [11:50] Yorrick, replace one part at a time [11:50] Yorrick, cable is cheap, HDD can be tested in another MB and MB can be tested with another HDD. [11:51] Yorrick, if things stop working just like that, there are only 2 possibilities: you are running Windows for more than 3 days without a reinstall or your hardware has failed ;) [11:51] isnt there some SMART utility for ubuntu? [11:51] what is the best server you can get for 16 euros per month at www.kimsufi.com? [11:52] majod: yes [11:52] Well yes, iptable, I have everything I need to test & see what I need to replace, I honestly just don't feel like replacing stuff not knowing if I'll find the issue or not :P [11:52] majod, there is, smartctl. but if it says "drive ok", it doesn't mean the drive is ok... that's the SMART issue :/ [11:52] & Hey, my gaming machine has been running the same Windows 7 without updates for just over a year now without any issues ;) [11:52] oh :( [11:53] Yorrick, I wouldn't admit that here :D [11:53] Yorrick: by all means, if you want to possibly break your drive, continue doing nothing [11:54] Admit what, iptable? that I have a machine running windows without issues, or that I don't feel like replacing parts right now? :D [11:54] Yorrick, both :D [11:54] poor windows [11:54] & Ben64, I'll definately do something about it, I was just hoping for there to be a more effortless way to pinpoint the issue :) I don't mind having to replace parts, I'd just rather not do it if I can find the issue through software ;) [11:55] its probably a bad cable. start there [11:56] Yorrick: your drive is failing [11:56] Yeah I will Ben, I have one ready to go next to the machine atm, I can't replace things right now as I don't hve time right now [11:57] the sky is falling! [11:57] Yorrick: those are error messages from the drive itself, and they indicate that it is about to fail completely [11:58] gordonjcp, if that's the case, is there anything I can do to fix the issue without losing data or having to replace the drive? As I currently don't have the room I'd need to back all my files up on another drive & the drive that's failing is a pretty damn expensive one [11:59] gordonjcp: or the cable is bad [11:59] How could i copy the last N lines of a file in another?

[12:04] Yorrick: well it kind of does make sense, it is the type of problem that is totally fine, until it gets to a point where half the file is on the other side of the disk (and files can be split up with the first part on one bit and other bits scattered elsewhere [12:04] Yorrick: it might well be something else, but I don't think I can rule out the >2TB oddness yet :) [12:04] Yeah I know how fragmentation works Alan ;) I'm not completely clueless, just a little when it comes to Ubuntu :P [12:05] And if it is the disk, I'll re-format it & re-partition it into <2TB segments, to see if that still gives issues [12:05] Ty geirha [12:06] Yorrick: worth a try, but also bear in mind that it could be failing at the hardware level and one day might just stop, so don't put thousands of bitcoin on it :) [12:06] how can i start simon speech only in cli mode? [12:06] its not a software problem Yorrick [12:06] its hardware. look at the hardware errors in dmesg. you can't fix it with software. its hardware. swap out the cable already. [12:07] I have no bitcoin to spend so that'd be hard to do AlanBell :D and Ben64, I will, once I get home again, I'm not home at this point so I'll have to wait for about another 2 hours before I can swap the cables [12:12] jjj [12:12] njkkk [12:14] 333ddf [12:14] yes === msx_ is now known as msx === msx is now known as Guest29631 === Guest29631 is now known as msx [12:19] o === oooooo_m is now known as oooooo [12:26] hi all.

[12:29] subz3r0, sorry, not sure about that [12:30] well. do you need a simcard for it? or can you plug it into your cable device?

[14:05] i desperately need help -- Ubuntu has bricked my mobo?!? :( :( :( [14:06] so many people here, but no one talks? [14:06] am i violating protocol or someething? :( [14:06] nbr-linux-n00b: it's lunchtime [14:07] oh. it's 9am here. ? :( [14:07] ^ haha [14:07] nbr-linux-n00b: it's highly unlikely that Ubuntu as "bricked" anything [14:07] !details | nbr-linux-n00b [14:07] nbr-linux-n00b: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:07] i konw man. i know it's "not ubuntus fault". [14:07] but i'm tellin ya' ... "it's ubuntus fault". [14:07] :D [14:08] so. long story short, many installs later, i had gotten to 12.04 and was upgrading to 12.10 ... [14:08] "done isntall, require reboot" [14:08] okay good ... [14:08] problem is, for three days of installs, ubuntu has issues with my new build, causing bios splash screen on reboot to hang, needing a *second* boot after hang to get into ubuntu ... [14:09] when i went for the second reboot after hang (this is for the reboot required to finish install) then just nothing ... not even grub. [14:09] splash screen for Asus, but can not enter bios. can not do anything. :( [14:09] installed boot-repair to usb drive, but can not get it to boot. [14:09] sounds like a hardware problem [14:10] mobo light is on? [14:10] have you tried stripping the machine down to a minimal config and trying it? [14:10] mobo has no f*king speaker though, so can't hear beeps. [14:10] oh last thing it gave me befor crapping out was like "no screen detected" at grub. [14:11] but then the next reset lead to hang at splash. (hd 6570 gfx card) can not strip it out or i will not have a video port. [14:11] only other thing in there is a crappy sound card, cuz ubuntu has a known bug with my HDA-intel 877 onboard sound chip. [14:12] hi guys... [14:12] very new here [14:12] :) [14:13] Anyone else having problems upgrading to 12.1 from 12.04 ? [14:13] can anyone come up with *any* method for proceeding on a new build that was working ... even had ubuntu installed and working ... UNTIL an update from 12.04 to 12.10 failed on reboot ... leading to no access to bios, no boot from USB, just hang at bios. wtf are my options? [14:13] (talk about timing) [14:14] if i hold down del or f2 to get to bios it just passed the splash screen and goes black ! ! ! :( :( :( this SUCKS. [14:15] what good is a USB live-disk of boot-repair if it WONT BOOT :( ? [14:15] nbr-linux-n00b, try to hold down F2 or F12 before you press the power button [14:15] and keep holding it down the F2 or F12 [14:15] till BIOS appears or the boot menu to choose from where to boot [14:16] nothing. just blank after splash again. ??? [14:16] i'm having trouble even understanding how software could fuck up my bios this bad? [14:16] !language|nbr-linux-n00b, [14:16] nbr-linux-n00b,: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:16] are you sure F2 and F12 are the right keys on your machine? maybe it's DEL? [14:17] sorry!!! [14:17] yes says it right at the bottom of my awesome asus splash screen .lol [14:17] I doubt software did anything to your hardware :) [14:17] and i've been in bios plenty of times tryin to get dang ubuntu to work :( [14:17] uh work *properly [14:17] am i at flashing cmos stage or somthing? [14:17] can u even do that without bios access? [14:18] pull the pin and battery? what? [14:18] i've got NOTHIN here :( [14:18] I have an LVM I want to resize, I ran lvresize. I thought I could do gparted /dev//, but it doesn't show anything useful, is that not possible? [14:18] yes. try first removing the battery from laptop if that's laptop and remove the power then wait 15 minutes and see if anything changes [14:18] desktop [14:18] if not, then reset the CMOS. it won't hurt [14:19] "reset CMOS" is the jumper pin? [14:19] ok desktop same no problem. remove the power and wait 15 minutes. if no difference reset the CMOS [14:19] "reset the cmos" agian, you mean pull the jumper ? [14:19] jumper right. if you can't figure that out then remove the CMOS battery and wait 15 minutes then put it back [14:20] these are more hardware related questions though :) [14:22] jozefk, i suppose i get your drift about "hardware related" but my computer was fine until ubuntu install failed. ??? [14:23] on a side note, as a new ubuntu user, i have to say, bricked-pc aside, i have been pretty thoroughly frustrated not just with the ubuntu-linux learning curve, but with the basic functionality of the program. [14:24] nbr-linux-n00b, ok sorry about that. once I got my ethernet (NIC) controller damaged by some linux distro. it was unbelievable but that's what happened. it took me some times and reboots till I got it working again... [14:24] I love ubuntu :) === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [14:25] troubleshooting for a noob is extremely problematic, as 99% of responses involve CLI inputs that the new user has NO IDEA what they are doing ... so you are just screwing with CLIs that may be doing more harm than good. [14:25] yes i did failed many times, but still i love it :) [14:26] nbr-linux-n00b, use the OS you like. nobody force you to use linux [14:27] nbr-linux-n00b, nitpick = ubuntu is not a "program" [14:27] yeh. joze. the funny part is this last install of ubuntu was actually so i could switch back to Windows. but i had to get the liveDisk ubuntu back on to harddisk so i could use the USBdrive to help with the windows install. unfortuantely in that process, all my drives are now OS-less as well as the USB-drive. and it don't matter anyhow cuz the pooter is now bricked at bios splash. [14:28] nbr-linux-n00b: you should take a look at elemetary OS...i think its even more user friendly than ubuntu...and its based on ubuntu [14:28] any i have this crazy suspicion that pulling the cmos battery isn't gonna do squat. [14:29] and after that, i get the feeling i am going to get radio silence over here regarding what to do next. [14:29] hahaha [14:29] cuz, really what do you do with a pooter that won't boot, won't bios won't nothing? [14:29] oh im sorry for that [14:29] nbr-linux-n00b, perhaps less speculation and more hard data is in order here. why don't we SEE what happens after you pull the cmos battery and work from fact not fiction. [14:29] nbr-linux-n00b, linux shells are better than guis in every way whatsoever [14:30] sure. if you know what you are doing, pressimist. ;) [14:30] it should work. you don't really need windows anymore. it's more complicated to have dual boot or triple boot or what ever things you are trying to do there [14:30] last time i used CLI was in 1992 to modifiy the .cfg file for Scorched Earth, so ... i'm pretty stupid. [14:30] and linux CLI commands make DOS seem intuitive. [14:31] man cli is so simple. you need to learn only apt-get and aptitude I guess [14:31] that's all :) [14:31] yeah. and aptitude isn't even installed by default. [14:31] in my startup programs, I have "xmodmap /home/user/.Xmodmap", but it seems to be getting overridden by something [14:31] I'm using cinnamon [14:31] anyone know if irc.freenode.net. server is still up and running? [14:31] aren't we on that right now? [14:32] :))) [14:32] nbr-linux-n00b, apt-get, forget aptitude [14:32] skittishtrigger, go there and see [14:32] I like aptitude coz I can search with it. or I never learned how to search with apt-get :) [14:32] apt-get search [14:32] test [14:32] good answer, tried but wouldnt connect. ping gives a responce [14:32] jozefk: apt-cache search pattern [14:33] !freenode|skittishtrigger, [14:33] skittishtrigger,: freenode is the IRC network that you're on! - See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml - freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml - The Ubuntu channels on freenode also have their own !Guidelines [14:33] Caelum, apt-get search vim [14:33] E: Invalid operation search [14:33] Caelum: how did you install cinnamon? [14:33] thank you ubottu, i thought by entering the address ubuntu help gave me it was down. [14:33] has it been 15minutes yet !?! [14:34] llutz, thanks. do you have also something I can use instead: aptitude show vim? [14:34] jozefk: apt-cache show vim [14:34] jozefk: man apt-cache [14:35] anyone have trouble with group permissions sticking in 12.04? [14:35] ok cool so apt-cache is the way to go maybe. I still like aptitude though. what's the function of aptitude then by the way? [14:35] !anyone|skittishtrigger, [14:35] skittishtrigger,: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[14:36] dual core, 4 gb ram [14:36] !luna [14:36] skittishtrigger: Remember that if you ssh to server, changing group permissions requires a re-log, as they're cached upon login [14:36] suri: That's not old o.O Yes, it should be fine [14:36] suri: no problem. but you can wait month or two for the new version based on ubuntu 14.04 [14:37] suri: this is the ubuntu channel - elementary not supported here. Older hardware does run well with lubuntu and xubuntu [14:37] Oh! its time to leave Xubuntu and move to Luna [14:37] * jozefk away for dinner :) [14:37] Luna is gorgeous [14:37] skittishtrigger: I learned that the hard way :s [14:38] i am eagerly waiting to check it [14:38] when adding a user to group (user to www-data in this case) and logging out (to make sure group permissions refreshed) still not allowing actions (copy file to folder or create new folder). Any ideas or points in the right direction to figure out myself? [14:38] skittishtrigger: Is the folder in question owned by www-data? [14:38] yes [14:39] iwantoski: is it group-owned and group-writable by www-data? [14:39] yes [14:40] skittishtrigger: and "groups" shows you as member of www-data? [14:40] cfhowlett: i am just asking bro. It's ok, no issue. [14:40] Yes, and after relogging in i double checked group membership and permissions [14:40] suri, no worries [14:41] this is a fresh install by the way [14:41] reinstalled and trying to do it right instead of 777 everything [14:42] skittishtrigger: "ls -ld /dir/youwant/write/to" [14:42] drwxrw-r-- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Mar 1 17:13 /var/www [14:43] skittishtrigger: chmod 775 dir === hgth is now known as gtr_ [14:43] skittishtrigger: dirs need executable/traverse flag [14:43] (was using nautilus to try and move file btw) should I use th -r flag too?

[14:44] skittishtrigger: -R is recirsive, -r isn't [14:44] recursive* [14:44] can someone explain lts enablement please? if i am installing a new system should i go for the latest saucy kernel? [14:45] that is prolly it then. i tried chmod 776 /dir/her -r i think the last time (before coming here) as a last resort [14:45] lts= long term support [14:46] Question: How does one add a startup command that executes from within a given directory? I tried "cd /home/me/mydir && ./program" but it didn't work. [14:46] Also, I can't execute it from the home directory because the command copies a bunch of files that I only want in the directory the program executes from. [14:47] llutz and ubottu You two rock. the -r are was the issue! after doing it without the -r (now i know -r = remove read -R recursive) it worked! [14:47] REINSERTING BATTEYR NOW [14:47] skittishtrigger: things tend to work, if you do them right :) [14:48] close [14:48] lmao, yes they do. Learning in linux most things work the first time if you do them properly. lol. [14:48] GUESS WHAT !?! [14:48] nbr-linux-n00b: drop capds [14:48] caps [14:48] guess what !!!??!!! [14:49] *i got in to bios!* [14:49] bad cmos battery? [14:49] Is it really bios, or is it the new windows 8 fake? [14:49] no. i think ubuntu update goofed cmos somehow. [14:49] pulled battery. 15 min. bang. bios. [14:50] thank you jozefk. [14:50] even though i suggested it myself. lol [14:52] windows 7 bootdisk loads!

[15:07] please don't make me reinstall ubuntu just to use gparted. [15:07] nbr-linux-n00b, boot your live CD, start gparted [15:08] the live CD is for "boot-repair" which CNET said contained Gparted. [15:08] when the USB boots to GRUB all that is listed is "start boot-repair session" (which seems to hang with loading dots similar to ubuntu splash) or i can go to CLI. [15:08] can you run gparted from cli? [15:08] <---- is an idiot. [15:09] calling occupants of interplanetary craft ... ?

[17:34] where can I find the upstream source of /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert # This is a mockup of a script to produce a snakeoil cert [17:35] Walex2, "gpg: can't open signed data `Release'gpg: can't hash datafile: No such file or directory" [17:36] Walex2, I had already run wget http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/saucy/Release.gpg === Thubo is now known as Thubo|away [17:39] ubuntu13: did you a web search with key "437D05B5"? [17:39] Yes, Reading some forum posts now... also got this: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x40976EAF437D05B5 [17:40] ubuntu13: for example the end of http://techpad.co.uk/content.php?sid=84 [17:40] Walex2, Yes, reading precisely THAT. :) [17:40] hi is there a partition software that i can use with win 8.1 to put linux on another drive.. well maybe a boot software? [17:41] tk456: disk manager in Windows [17:41] tk456: sort of. There are various partition manager tools [17:41] and use windows as the boot software? [17:41] tk456: then you need to add the new partition to the boot list for MS-Windows, and put the LILO/GRUB boot code on the first block of that partition. [17:41] tk456: grub will be able to boot both OSes for you [17:42] tk456: there are quite reasonable HOWTOs on the Ubuntu Wiki [17:42] kk off to wiki thank you :) [17:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [17:43] Can someone help me with a PPA question? I'm running one, and I have a single package that's built for saucy. How can I make launchpad build it for trusty, quantal, precise, lucid, etc.? [17:43] aah cool, thanks :D [17:43] tk456: there are many other HOWTOs, usually the keywords are "dual boot windows ubuntu" [17:43] hello I want to install g++-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf on ubuntu 13.04 [17:43] Walex2, I do have other "third part" repos .

I'm running into a brick wall trying to establish a kerberos-secured NFS mount. I have added the principal for each machine to its own keytab file, I'm pretty sure reverse DNS is working, I have rpc.gssd running on the client and rpc.svcgssd running on the server. However, when I try to mount, it says "access denied by server". The logs of rpc.*gssd look okay, except for an error saying "error in gss_free_lucid_sec_context(): GSS [17:48] _S_NO_CONTEXT (No context has been established) - Unknown error". Does anybody have a suggestion? [17:48] Tobias92: yes. [17:49] Walex2, great, I'm all ears :) [17:50] Walex2, There's nothing inside /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d ! [17:50] Tobias92: strange anatomy :-) [17:51] hehe [17:53] Tobias92: link to follow [17:53] ubuntu13: sudo gpg2 --keyring -k /etc/apt/trusted.gpg [17:53] Walex2, sure, take your time [17:54] Tobias92: check very carefully all the conditions listed here: http://sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxFS.html#fsHintsNFS [17:54] Walex2, thanks, I will [17:55] ubuntu13: that should list the keyring the public keys your APT system trusts. If there is any error probably you need to delete that file and readd the keys. [17:55] Question: Just installed 13.10. It's been a long time since my last Breezy Badger install. What happened to the customization?! [17:55] I'd like to have more control over my desktop, themes, etc. What gives? Am I forgetting something important? [17:56] Walex2, Still there's only . and .. inside /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d [17:56] direw0lf: If you miss classic Ubuntu, use Xubuntu [17:56] ubuntu13: sudo gpg2 --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg -k # OOPS [17:56] direw0lf: It's very similar. The default Ubuntu UI has changed when the GNOME team decided to turn GNOME into some weird mess [17:56] (and then the Ubuntu team created Unity) [17:56] So yeah, use Xubuntu [17:57] So am I right in assuming Unity is . . . somewhat locked down? I'd hate to have to do a new distro install. [17:57] I've spent two days adding and such. [17:57] direw0lf: You don't need to reinstall from scratch, don't worry, you can switch to Xubuntu right from your existing install with a simple click on this: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/xubuntu-desktop [17:57] -quit [17:57] <__raven_> 13.10 cli wlan config: wlan0 does not get any ip adress by default but by manual ifconfig - how to solve that? [17:57] HUZZAH! Admin always rules! [17:58] direw0lf: you can install as many desktop environments at the same time as you want. Uninstall one and install another, without reinstalling anything else. [17:59] !purexfce | direw0lf, if you'd like to remove traces of the "default" Ubuntu you don't like, follow this [17:59] direw0lf, if you'd like to remove traces of the "default" Ubuntu you don't like, follow this: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [17:59] Gah, it's like being a noob again. FWIW, I'm always the best non-IT test subject for any linux attempts. [17:59] Walex2, Again lots of stuff created but still only "." and ".." inside trusted.gpg.d. [17:59] I'm somewhere between MS user (I just want a button!) and that kid down the street who 'builds' his computer from newegg. . . . [18:01] OK, I lie. I'm a *bit* better than the kid. I don't have to ship memory or motherboards back because they don't work with my chosen CPU. [18:01] direw0lf: your conversation is off topic, please ask a question or move to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:02] Thanks, everyone! If I didn't have to grade a stack of midterm essays I'd get on the change immediately. Unfortunately, my 'freetime' was spent during the last two days. [18:02] anyone else get crazy cpu usage when playing videos in firefox? [18:03] theadmin, what app is being requested for the apt. link? [18:03] Everyone gets crazy CPU usage in Firefox [18:03] ubuntu13: ubuntu13 leave 'trusted.gpg.d' alone [18:03] Try Chrome [18:03] direw0lf: Software Center, I suppose, you can just use "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" from a terminal [18:03] direw0lf: Will do the same [18:04] Biafra: Firefox and Chrome are the same. Web site designers know that they don't pay for CPU on client systems. [18:04] Walex2, But you said there will be 2 keys in there... ?? [18:04] Biafra, i know that that one is better, but i don't remember it being this ridiculous [18:04] ah, thanks. proficient with apt-get [18:04] ubuntu13: I said to have a look there. [18:04] like it literally hits two cores with 100% on a i5 running high clocks [18:04] hai [18:04] ubuntu13: or in '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg' itself [18:04] Walex2: Umm no they're not [18:04] morninag all [18:05] Walex2, Well, I looked, and there's nothing in the former [18:05] ubuntu13: sudo gpg2 --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg -k | lesss [18:05] Walex2: Unless you count that they're both browsers [18:05] chrome gives me <20% on one core in comparison [18:05] can im asking somtnhing [18:05] hi [18:05] ubuntu13: when you are in 'less' look for "437D05B5" [18:05] hornettooo, yes, Im married [18:06] iptables service not started because of error (SVC_RUN_EXCEPT) >> anyone can help ? :( [18:06] !ask [18:06] 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 [18:06] oh, my bad :p [18:06] japro, The only browser that goes above 15% on a single core for me is Firefox. It redlines 2 cores [18:07] Walex2, Yes, it's there, but still 'apt-get update' is giving out the same error : "The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5" [18:07] hornettooo: did you modify it or install a package that would have modified it? [18:07] ubuntu13: then delete that entry and readd it as that page said. [18:07] is there a way to set a "display" environment variable in an upstart service? [18:08] tyler_d, im just installed the package [18:08] hornettooo: what package? what version? [18:08] hydoskee: env DISPLAY=whatever [18:08] tyler_d, openvpn for ubuntu server [18:08] hydoskee: In your .conf [18:09] theadmin: I tried that. I still get a syserror when I run my service and it needs the DISPLAY [18:09] Walex2, Delete /etc/apt/trusted.gpg itself? [18:09] hydoskee: When does your service start? DISPLAY only makes sense for X related stuff, so you need to make sure it starts after your display manager (e.g. lightdm) [18:10] theadmin: well, I haven't booted, I've been doing service myservice restart after everything is up [18:10] hydoskee: Ah [18:10] theadmin: since I've been debugging [18:10] hornettooo: how did you determine that iptables weren't running? [18:10] hydoskee: Try "export" instead of "env" [18:10] theadmin: I've tried both [18:10] hrms. [18:11] delete it with: no, just that key, instead of '-k' say '--delete-key 437D05B5'; after that 'sudo apt-get update' [18:11] tyler_d, when im trying to starts openvpn service, [18:11] hornettooo: http://www.linuxtutorial.co.uk/openvpn-iptables-service-not-started-because-of-error-svc_run_except/ [18:11] hornettooo: try anything like that? [18:11] tyler_d, i have [18:11] hydoskee: What kind of service needs X anyway? What do you intend? [18:12] tyler_d, i have follow other tutorial to fix that [18:12] hornettooo: I take it your openvpn configuration is attempting to add rules to the tables? [18:12] theadmin: http://sbin.submarinerich.com/2d5a2a [18:12] hornettooo: is the configuration manual or is it from the openvpn netwrok manager gui? [18:12] theadmin: the X thing works when I invoke it either in "screen" and set DISPLAY=:0 via export, or if I just run it in a terminal or ssh on the machine [18:13] theadmin: just having trouble working it into upstart [18:13] ubuntu13: done it? I am about to leave to take a bus... [18:13] tyler_d, its from openvpn manager gui [18:13] Walex2, running update... 1 sec [18:14] hornettooo: try to invoke a "test" openvpn script that is very generic, work it forward from there. [18:14] ubuntu13: was that key deleted? [18:15] tyler_d, i have do it that, but its not working [18:15] Walex2, Yes. After running apt-get update I'm getting a lot more of those errors: "BADSIG 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key (2012) The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5" [18:16] ubuntu13, so it is not a key problem, you need to rebuild the cache like this ? > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983220&page=5&p=12835850#post12835850 [18:17] OerHeks: I doubt that... [18:17] or what did you do to get these untrusted keys, did you try to enable rootpassword? [18:17] OerHeks, Looking up... [18:17] hydoskee: Hm, well, I'm not sure, sorry. [18:18] OerHeks, Yes, root pass is enabled [18:18] hydoskee: Maybe you can try writing a bash script that does the job and have Upstart run that? [18:18] Anyone have luck with the new Nvidia Maxwell video cards with Ubuntu? I'm trying to get a GTX750ti to work with Saucy and it's hanging on boot. [18:18] theadmin: interesting idea. bash seems happy [18:18] ubuntu13, ah, oke. then doing these steps would not solve it. [18:18] helo [18:18] OerHeks, So what's the verdict? :) [18:19] Wondering if I should try trusty. [18:19] ubuntu13: then do the following before 'update': sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 437D05B5 [18:19] ubuntu13, as there is no rootpassword for a reason, ubuntu is build that way [18:19] !root [18:19] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:19] Walex2, Did that at the very beginning. [18:19] what is the difference between dvd and cd of ubuntu? [18:19] Voyage: Err... A DVD is bigger? [18:20] ubuntu13: do it again as we have deleted what may have been a bad key. [18:20] Voyage: And slower. Otherwise, essentially nothing. [18:20] theadmin, ya, any other diff? [18:20] no difference [18:20] Both just block devices. [18:20] sure!!? [18:20] ...Well, yes. Voyage, the recent Ubuntu versions ship as DVDs because they have just gotten a bit fat :D [18:20] theadmin, Sauron1 I heard that the dvd has pre installed codecs etc [18:21] Voyage: Err, the codecs ship on both the CD and DVD, you choose whether you want to install them yourself though [18:21] Voyage: You must be confusing Ubuntu and Mint [18:21] Hmm...the codecs are installed by themselves...they don't care what device you read the data from. [18:21] ubuntu13: otherwise just delete the whole of '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg' and reload all keys. [18:21] theadmin, Sauron1 ok, I dont have a swap partition, nor I want it. any solution? [18:22] Voyage: Don't make one, simple as that. Long as you have enough RAM it will work. [18:22] i heard theres a ramdisk thing [18:22] ubuntu13: http://naveenubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/fixing-gpg-keys-in-ubuntu.html [18:22] ubuntu13: but I am going to take the bus... [18:22] well, theadmin isnt swap mandatory? [18:22] I don't understand your questions voyage [18:22] Voyage: No [18:22] Alrighty then, I managed to create a kerberized mount (the problem was a combination of the wrong security being selected and idmapd weirdness). [18:22] What does codecs have to do with swap? [18:22] Sauron1: Nothing, unrelated questions :D [18:22] Walex2, Sudo expires a lot frequently, so using su is a bit less annoying. Anyway, I'm now getting that initial "BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5" error. So what would be the proper way to delete it? just rm? [18:23] Walex2, OK, bye. [18:23] Now for a followup question: I cannot cd into the directory mounted, even though I am the owner (ls -la acknowledges this). [18:24] hello [18:24] Tobias92: Is the directory's executable bit set? [18:24] Tobias92: Try: chmod +x /path/to/directory [18:24] theadmin, permissions are 700, so I should be able to enter it, right? [18:24] Tobias92: Hm, yes. [18:24] Would someone accept to help me making work my psx emulator ? I would be very grateful ! [18:25] theadmin, I should mention that accounts in my setup are distributed over nfs. If I log into the NFS server with the same account, I *can* cd into the directory in question [18:25] *distributed through LDAP [18:25] Tobias92: ...oh, now that is confusing [18:26] I dunno anything about ldap so I'm not going to be able to help [18:26] theadmin, thanks nonetheless [18:26] If someone could help me !!

[18:31] My system is xubuntu, I installed PCSX, I can run the application but when I want to select a bios, there aren't any choice of bios (I don't know if you inderstand). I re installed PCSX and now I can't even find the file where I have to put the bios (.bin) so I have 2 questions: is there a way to find something on xubuntu (a sort of general research) ? And what can I do to make work PCSX ? Has someone had to make something more a [18:31] fter the installation to make it work ?

[18:33] Do I have to install something beside awesome to use it? I don't know much about wms. :s [18:33] odra: No, that alone should be enough [18:33] theadmin: what wm do you use? [18:34] odra: Eh, I use Unity/Compiz myself, but I tried many others. Awesome isn't one of them, though, but the "awesome" package contains an xsession file so it all should work [18:34] can i break the permissions in ssh session which is protect by root === ComradeH1z` is now known as ComradeHaz` [18:35] Guest12016: What does "protected by root" mean in terms of "ssh session"?

My computer is a Eee pc 1015cx [18:36] Guest12016: Define "not working" please. [18:36] theadmin: I don't like unity because it uses a strip on the left(the launcher) and one on the top. [18:36] odra: Eh, full DEs? Not really. Stand-alone window managers like awesome? i3 is pretty neat. [18:37] odra: You may like Xfce, it's a more customizable "classic" desktop [18:37] theadmin: I tried gnome too, but that one uses twice as much vertical space :/ [18:37] can anybody tell me the good tool to analyze the audio steganography [18:37] ? [18:37] odra: unfortunately I think there is still a bug around where awesome won't show up in lightdm because it has NoDisplay=true in /usr/share/xsessions/awesome.desktop [18:38] odra: if you set it to false or remove that line it should be okay [18:38] trism: I see, thanks :D [18:38] is there anybody to answer my querys [18:38] !patience | Guest12016 [18:38] Guest12016: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

I choose an ISO but it does not show up within the "Source disc image" list. NEver had this happen before. I'm using a Mint iso. (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 to do this, but not sure I should be asking here or on the mint chanel) [18:55] you check the md5 of you iso to make sure it wasnt corrupted? [18:55] no, i did not [18:56] most downloads provide a md5 checksum, might want to compare them fist [18:56] Hello all! I have a quick question. It might be answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it anywhere. How can I bind a key to only that one application? Example: If I set Mumble's push to talk key as 'F1' and then open up Chrome, 'F1' will open up Chrome's Help page. [18:56] ok... though how would the utility be aware of any such problems? [18:56] can anyone point me to the right channel to ask ubuntu port questions? [18:56] there's no error msg [18:57] if file contents dont match what an iso should provide it might [18:57] 'file' believes its an ISO 9660 CD-ROM... [18:57] file only believes it because that is what is named. I can rename a .jpg to .iso and it'll think the same [18:57] no, file does not go by name [18:57] skittishtrigger: That is not true. [18:57] file goes by magic# [18:58] Windows goes by name :) [18:59] maybe thats only windows systems then [18:59] what you said. lol. still could be corrupted though [18:59] skittishtrigger: The "file" utility uses the actual content of the file (the first few bytes, to be precise, the so called "magic") to know what the type is. [18:59] when I run PCSX, then configuration, there is "plugins and bios", I click and then it proposes me BIOS, but I can't chose any file (bios) [18:59] I had same issue and redownloaded and it worked fine === cohnation_ is now known as cohnation [19:00] can anyone point me to the right channel to ask ubuntu port questions?

[19:56] ubuntu doesn't seem to be able to keep google chrome in just one icon in the icon bar === UltimateNate is now known as UltimateMobile [19:56] it has something to do with a mismatch of the app title with the title specified when i have tabs open, i think. they aren't the same string, so unity thinks they are two different apps, so it either doesn't open chrome or it puts it in a separate button [19:57] i've tried unlocking and locking and launching it diretly from the unity button and other things.. even rebooting .. i just want to purge unity's bad config and start over. how do i do that? [19:57] Walex2, No man, was busy feeding myself and the cats. just returned. Now reading the forums... Will try rebuilding the cache first, before trying deleting the trusted.gpg key [19:58] it keeps putting the title of the button as the title of a tab which isn't even open [19:58] it was open at one point and now, not. [19:58] can't find this string anywhere under .gconf or .config [19:58] ubuntu13: but the cache is just the cache of the packages, not of the signatures. [19:59] ubuntu13: also I have 12.04 here and I did all the commands I suggested to you and it all worked; that key was deleted and then reappeared and 'apt-get update' just worked. [20:00] ubuntu13: an alternative could be to "export" the '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg' keyring and reload it, if it is a bit damaged that should fix it. [20:00] i'm on 13.10. [20:00] Walex2, What's the command to export ? [20:01] ubuntu13: something like: gpg2 --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --export /root/trusted.export (I'll check) === makije is now known as makije|away [20:03] clear [20:04] Can I ask a very newbie question? I know this is childish, but my knowledge is limited. If I were to do apt-get *app* what version would I get? and what happens if i did the same command again? [20:04] squeakytoy: you can try that out :-) [20:05] I rather not. Since I am very unfamiliar with Linux package managers, I am worried that its super easy to install things, but how does versioning work? [20:05] squeakytoy, use the software centre [20:05] and that is? [20:05] seriously this is making me insane, someone help [20:06] squeakytoy: it is really quite safe to do that. [20:06] i just tried unity --reset-icons and that didn't fix it either. as soon as i installed chrome it id it again [20:06] started* chrome [20:06] How does Upstart stop a job when I do "service stop"? It definitely seems to be doing something other than just killing it, since child process stop too (they don't when I just kill the first one). But what exactly is it doing? [20:06] MFen: "it"? [20:06] tkeith_: that's a complicated subject... [20:07] Walex2 i've been asking about google chrome making two icons in the dash [20:07] i click one, it opens the other [20:07] it's not just irritating.. i use hyperkey+number to go to applications. it's my workflow. when it doesn't work i go crazy [20:07] tkeith_: recent versions of 'upstart' try to figure out the process group tree and try to stop the whole lot. [20:08] you might say "well just lock the other one in the dash instead", but the other one does not actually open the application [20:08] ubuntu13: I am having a small issue that even with '--no-default-keyring' the command dumps also a lot of other stuff... [20:08] you click it, it glows for a while, nothing happens [20:09] so one button opens chrome, but when chrome opens, i get a second button, with a different title (and that title is completely unrelated to anything that is actually going on in chrome, it's just the name of a random tab that's been gone for about 25 restarts of chrome at this point) [20:09] MFen: I am not familiar with the dash... [20:09] * Walex2 uses Kubuntu really [20:09] anyone have steam installed [20:09] is anyone familiar enough with the dash to take on this difficult question? [20:09] whats a good game to play [20:10] gta 4 tlad is hard to beat [20:10] libreoffice used to do this to me, too. i have no idea what i did to fix that [20:10] tkeith_: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#kill-signal [20:10] Walex2, Should I try deleting the keys from the gui? [20:10] Walex2: Ok, so there's no simple kill-like command I can use to replicate its behavior? [20:12] ubuntu13: we have already deleted the perhaps faulty key... [20:13] ubuntu13: but then it seemed for you impossible to reload it. [20:13] Walex2, his issues are caused by setting a rootpassword. [20:13] Hi. Any example on application that lets me create two different partitions on a disk that already contains data. I want to keep the existing data on one of the partitions. I would appriciate if there is a GUI alternative. [20:14] ubuntu13: BTW your '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg' will only contain public keys of public repos most likely, why don't you put it up somewhere I can download it. [20:14] OerHeks: 'ubuntu13''s? What has a 'root' password got to do with repo keys? I have set a 'root' password, and still use 'sudo' and it all works. [20:15] Walex2, Sure. In the mean time I'm reading this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/24061 [20:15] Launchpad bug 24061 in apt (Ubuntu Quantal) "GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5)" [High,Fix released] [20:16] Walex2, Mr. Bot is wrong. Apparently this is still bugging a lot of people... [20:17] ubuntu13: according to that bug report you need to clear '/var/lib/lists/', not '/var/cache/apt/' [20:17] ubuntu13: according to that bug report you need to clear '/var/lib/apt/lists/', not '/var/cache/apt/' [20:17] Walex2, Hmmm. So try that? [20:17] ubuntu13: that's a totally safe operataion, just do 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*' [20:18] ubuntu13: because unlike the package cache, the list database contains signed material of course. [20:18] ubuntu13: or you can just do 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*Release*' [20:19] ubuntu13: or you can just do 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*Release.gpg' even more precisely [20:19] Susning2: thanks for letting has know what you would appreciate :-) [20:20] Walex2, Removed the *Release.gpg. Now update? [20:20] Susning2: perhaps you would want to clarify your question, describing the current situation as "disk that already contains data" is a bit vague [20:20] ubuntu13: yes, that would be good [20:21] Walex2 : :) Of course. Ext3 drive, i want to split it in two. One 200gb part, and the rest, about 800gb as another part. During the process I want to keep all the data on the 800gb partition. [20:22] Susning2: splitting partitions etc. is not something I recommend, and I dearly hope tha tyou have backups, but what you want is 'gparted'. [20:23] Susning2: even better, don't do it from the live system, use a PartitionMagic liveCD [20:23] Walex2: I have backups, several. [20:24] Susning2: then it is safer and much faster to just repartition and reload from backup. [20:24] ok. [20:24] thanks. i'll do so. [20:24] Susning2: much faster in most cases. [20:24] thanks [20:24] Walex2, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7029522/ [20:24] Susning2: because it will also defreagment the data very well, and 'ext3' becomes a lot slower with time. === administrator is now known as Guest73835 [20:25] ubuntu13: your '/etc/apt/sources.list' is wrong, because Sacuy is not archived yet.

[20:28] Walex2, ubuntu13: Actually, no, wait: It's supposed to be archive.canonical.com/dists/$CODENAME/Release* or archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/$CODENAME/Release* [20:28] majod, I find it weird you asking about /opt/ and /usr/bin instead of /opt/ and /usr/local/ (if I am not mistaken) [20:28] ubuntu13: replace "gb.archive" with your country code. [20:29] marcolino: hmm i dont know whats supposed to be /usr/local [20:29] SonikkuAmerica: yes, that;s a good point, but given that the Wiki has the official 'sources.list' he might as well copy that. [20:29] majod, not always since you've installed it from .deb it should be picked up by apt, my only question does it make a difference [20:29] Walex2, I'm using the main server and not the country server since it was very slow [20:30] marcolino: id like to see some logic on how my applications are installed....on windows i know that i find it in program files for example...here its a surprise [20:30] ubuntu13: then use 'gb.archive', so copy the text in that page exactly.

On minicom, I can see intermittant output from the kernel giving me some sort of stacktrace. It does not appear to respond to sending a break + sysrq code.

[21:19] FCGreg, that's a bummer, because I'll only be able to reach the machine tomorrow afternoon. [21:19] 13.10 as I wrote. [21:19] question for those running Ubuntu on a Mac. I tried installing once, and had some issues.. had to reformat my drive. Now, it seems that the culprit is Filevault encryption. In order to install reFit, one can't have Filevault encryption on, correct? Any help would be appreciated. [21:19] hah, i am using a digitalocean VPS, only 512MB RAM. I installed MySQL via apt-get, got it running, but after a restart, mysql is failing due to not having any memory. [21:20] Tobias92: Yeah I'm sorry. Based on what you're saying then your out of options with a semi-dead machine and kernel panics spewing out [21:20] FCGreg, that's okay, I guess I'll just have to wait [21:20] Umeaboy, try writing in terminal: sudo updatedb and try searching again. What happens? What's the output of the command? [21:21] JasonBored, that would be correct if i recall, i have a look in the mactel pages [21:21] !mac [21:21] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [21:21] squeakytoy: can you pastebin the output of: free -m [21:22] Thanks OerHeks - I'll look at that [21:22] Tobias92: I assume you don't have some other kind of port access that can give you a terminal? Are any ports responding from the outside? [21:23] hi all, I am keen to install linux on my iMac but I am confused by the boot loaders. Does anybody have any recent experience with the REFIND tool? The ubuntu docs are now quite old and use the deprecated REFIT tool. [21:24] fommil: functionally there's pretty much no difference between refit and refind [21:24] http://pastebin.com/3EMsYL1P [21:24] fommil: both will work, refind is better [21:24] hitsujiTMO, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8183146/temp/freem.png <-- you see anything fun? :< [21:24] Pessimist: I do that from time to time, but this time no error. [21:24] But still the problem exist. [21:24] FCGreg, no TCP/IP ports open that I can detect. I guess it's locked down. [21:24] Had to use tty2. [21:24] gordonjcp: there seems to be quite a lot of difference actually... syncing of tables, blessing, etc, it's all changed [21:25] fommil: ultimately you just download and run it [21:25] squeakytoy: thats quite a lot of memory to be using on a basic install. what services are running? [21:25] hitsujiTMO, by default, mysql wants 128mb, but it looks like I only have 70 with the server on [21:26] hitsujiTMO, uhm, not sure how to find that list. will google. [21:26] gordonjcp: it hasn't worked for me. It didn't work at all until I used a dedicated ESP partition, and now I get "unrecognised file system" when I select the EFI linux option. [21:26] squeakytoy: actually, you have 190mb free with the server on [21:26] uhm, how? [21:26] I'll see if I can reproduce this issue in Gnome. [21:26] it says 78-79 no? [21:27] squeakytoy: you look at the +/- buffers/cache to see the actual used memorty [21:27] hello. anyone is familiar with a script that logs the temperature of the cpu and gpu every x seconds/minutes? [21:27] squeakytoy: what exactly have you installed on the server? did you install an xserver? [21:28] hitsujiTMO, i am very new to vps. I have a VPS ubuntu+desktop [21:28] hitsujiTMO, can i aska question you might know. I just did a service --status-all and saw that mysql was in that list.. does that mean that mysql is running? [21:28] squeakytoy: well, there is your problem. you're running a desktop OS on a server that has only 512mb ram [21:29] :< [21:29] sounds stupid when you put it like that :< [21:29] squeakytoy: + means its running, - means its not, ? means doesn't know [21:30] ah ok [21:30] don't be so hard on yourself [21:30] Hi [21:30] hi [21:30] squeakytoy: if you're running ubuntu(with unity) you really need a minimum of 1gb ram. but, for a webserver, you shouldn't be running any desktop environment at all [21:34] Hey guys. My mouse has stopped working partially. Multiple mice and two computers confirm that all the mouse buttons are working but KDE recognizes no mouse movement except with touchpad [21:34] dmesg: http://pastebin.com/3EMsYL1P [21:35] #bjchat [21:35] ok, thanks all [21:36] I'm going to create a ssh tunnel from my web server to home server, is there a way i can disable shell access and only allow ssh tunnel to be called, would i change to /bin/noshell or? [21:36] what is the best Mac laptop to install Ubuntu on it [21:37] also - what is the best solution for dual boot [21:37] Parallel? [21:37] zalun: one that works for you [21:37] cost is no issue - company pays [21:37] !best | zalun [21:37] zalun: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. [21:37] is there a way to pin a package so it cannot be deleted by sudo apt-get --purge remove? [21:38] jatt: no [21:38] hitsujiTMO: ok, thanks [21:38] hitsujiTMO: got the idea - let's say I'm using Sony Vaio now which isn't the easiest thing to run Linux on [21:38] but I do have MacBook Air for better compatibility [21:39] How can I best reinstall ubuntu 13.10 without losing previous home files? [21:39] jjavaholic: is /home on a separate partition? [21:39] nope [21:39] and I need want 13" Mac laptop. will Ubuntu work smoothly on MBA and MBPro? [21:39] jjavaholic: you'll need to back up /home onto something then [21:40] jjavaholic: and you'll remember to make that a separate partition next time, won't you? [21:40] zalun: a mac will typically always be harder to get up and running than a normal pc, but, not impossible. You should choose hardware that suits you. [21:40] zalun: I'm really struggling to get any kind of Linux installed on an iMac [21:40] also - I have no experience on using dual boot on Macs [21:40] I have done it before with other distros [21:40] zalun: their booter is completely different. No BIOS [21:40] what about Parallel? [21:40] this is virtual [21:40] I didn't really find it difficult to install on my macbook atall [21:40] *at all [21:40] machine [21:40] I didn't do anything particularly special [21:41] gordonjcp: what kind? [21:41] cool [21:41] zalun: 3,1 [21:41] are you using any additional software? virtualization? [21:41] gordonjcp: should there be any difference between debian and ubuntu when it comes to installing on an iMac? Because I have epically failed to get the booter to work with debian [21:41] zalun: just refind [21:41] I have done the equivolent of this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuReinstallation before but the 13.10 doesn't make much sense to me [21:41] fommil: shouldn't be [21:41] zalun: theres actually a seperate iso for macs these days: http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso [21:42] I haven't tried the new iso [21:42] gordonjcp: what boot system were you using? I've heard of refit, refind, efibootmgr, BIOS grub and blessed. [21:42] zalun: this is for handling the mac efi specific issues [21:42] yes - I took a look, but it's always good to know if something isn;t supported [21:42] fommil: refind [21:42] gordonjcp: you installed it and it "just worked"? [21:42] fommil: pretty much [21:42] Ye [21:42] fommil: some cocking around with wifi drivers required, iirc [21:42] gordonjcp: what linux did you install and what did you have to do after to get it to boot into the linux? [21:42] fommil: Ubuntu 12.04 [21:43] gordonjcp: and what filesystems did you select? [21:43] I installed it, booted OSX, ran refind [21:43] fommil: ext4 [21:43] fommil: it's a perfectly normal install of Ubuntu [21:43] the only thing you need to do is boot OSX and install refind [21:43] gordonjcp: is that ext4 for everything? LVM? [21:43] brilliant - with Linux I will mostly use it for coding, other stuff like multimedia, etc. will stay on OSX side === code_zombie_ is now known as code_zombie [21:44] zalun: are you using OSX for media stuff? [21:45] gordonjcp: I have /boot as ext2 and /, /home as ext4 on an LVM. Is yours like that? [21:45] gordonjcp: or do you not use LVM? [21:45] I don't have separate /boot or /home on my laptop [21:45] I don't really see the point of LVM on it [21:46] gordonjcp: ok, I think I'll give debian one more go without LVM and use ext4 / and /home [21:46] osx, well - I'm now using raspBMC, but I do use MIDI and some other stuff, no time to tinker with drivers for some external music cards etc. [21:46] I'm also using osx for presentations ... and that would be anything [21:46] Evening all. I just installed the restricted package and it warned me that 2 libcodec things weren't compatible and should be removed but it wasn't clear whether i needed to remove these or whether the installation would do that. Anyone know? [21:47] I prefer tiling window managers [21:47] if these would properly work on a Mac I'd probably use it for work as well [21:47] what does LVM do? [21:47] Is there a Ubuntu tool for creating a simple chroot environment? Redhat has jailkit [21:47] zalun: I didn't like tiling WMs in the 80s and I don't like them now [21:47] :) [21:47] i3wm rulez for me [21:48] but I haven't used tiling in 0s [21:48] 80s [21:48] well, I actually used computers (8bit aside) since '91 [21:49] jjavaholic: easily resize/merge partitions etc [21:49] Is there a Ubuntu tool for creating a simple chroot environment? Redhat has jailkit [21:50] so - I will simply get a MacBookPro or Air and it should work using no additional commercial software? [21:51] is it normal to edit sources.list? [21:51] as suggested here; https://www.spotify.com/uk/download/previews/ [21:51] dgarstang: debootstrap ? [21:52] fommil:I have always found standard partitioning to be easy enough [21:52] any solution for this ? I am facing same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998543 [21:52] I still do think parallel would be better as there is no need to reboot to osx and back [21:52] http://www.askdavetaylor.com/install_ubuntu_linux_within_parallels_desktop_on_mac/ [21:52] jjavaholic: even if you need to resize? [21:52] jjavaholic: with data in the partitions? [21:53] hitsujiTMO: That installs an entire OS. I just need a jailed environment for installing packags for a build process [21:53] can anyone here help with a bluetooth "connectivity" issue is Kubuntu? [21:54] dgarstang: it installs a minimal environment, not an entire OS. what packages do you need to install? [21:54] by easily you mean on the fly? [21:55] How can I open sources.list in write-mode? It's read only and I need to add a source (spotify) [21:55] adamcunnington: That is one way - better practice is to put the "fetches" in /etc/apt/sources.d/ directory. [21:56] jjavaholic: say I have 800G /home and I want to break it up and create a new 50GB for a new OS. can I do that now with ext4? [21:56] dgarstang: infact, a build env is a fairly standard usecase for debootstrap [21:56] why can i (non root) do ' bindfs -n data/mount_root/ data/mount_target/' but not umount data/mount_target/ ? Or how would i umount as non-root? [21:56] Bashing-om: sorry this is my second day on linux [21:56] Bashing-om: Would I be putting a file into etc/apt/sources.d/ ? [21:56] adamcunnington: do so as -> gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:56] dgarstang: you can also tweak the debootstrap scripts/create your own if necessary [21:57] hitsujiTMO: I don't know. those packages will change over time [21:57] fommil:by easily you mean on the fly in a software disk imagey type of way? [21:57] Bashing-om: great thanks, what is gksudo? [21:57] jjavaholic: I mean resize the partition, don't corrupt and data on the disc, no need to reboot [21:57] hitsujiTMO: I might just use jailkit [21:57] Bashing-om: when you meant put the 'fetches' in aetc/apt/sources.list.d/, do you mean create a file like spotify.list and just put the source in there? [21:59] adamcunnington: coorect my miss though to be /etc/apt/sources.list.d // gksudo is the graphical equivilent to "sudo" to gain the elevated priviledges to edit system files. [21:59] Bashing-om: oh ok [21:59] Bashing-om: but can i create spotify.list and put that inside sources.list.d/ ? [22:00] adamcunnington: Best practice is 3rd party software sources in that 3rd party directory ( hey, less chance on corrupting that main sources file). [22:01] Bashing-om: yea that makes sense but i just need to clarify my understanding of what i need to do. Would i just create a file called spotify.list with the fetch line in there? [22:03] test [22:03] adamcunnington: Yeah, for instance google-chrome -> /etc/apt/sources.list.d -> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176 Dec 22 10:34 google-chrome.list TBC. [22:03] how does lvm work? [22:03] thanks all for the helpz [22:03] !lvm | jjavaholic [22:03] jjavaholic: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [22:03] jjavaholic: did you have a specific question about it? [22:03] Bashing-om: wow i'm a bit new! Don't understand that just yet but i've just added deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free to spotify.list - look ok? [22:04] hi :) I'm having a problem installing libsdl-dev... I try aptitude install libsdl-dev and i get the following error: http://pastebin.com/W7t5fC0f [22:04] This look familiar to anyone? === ava is now known as Guest20564 [22:04] adamcunnington, there is a gui for that, it's called software sources or software updates, search for it in the dash, open it then click on the other software tab, then add [22:04] <_2_> Hi x [22:04] adamcunnington: pastebin that file and I will look at it. [22:05] sinjax: is that for teamviewer by chance? [22:05] <_2_> who wants to chat? [22:05] !ot | _2_ [22:05] _2_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:05] kostkon: gui for what? spotify? [22:05] yeats: libsdl? nah its for ...err... the leap motion controller? [22:05] adamcunnington, do not add spotify manually, this guide should work http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/01/how-to-install-spotify-in-ubuntu-12-04-12-10 for 13.10 too [22:05] yeats: but i mean, it's a fairly standard library no? [22:05] adamcunnington, for adding repositories [22:06] adamcunnington: see kostkon input, ..workie great last long time ! [22:06] OerHeks: ok i will take a look - i've just installed it manually though. should i remove it? how do i do that? [22:06] sinjax: yeah - I was just asking because I've seen people hit similar errors when trying to install 64-bit teamviewer on ubuntu - don't mind me ;-) [22:06] how does lvm manage my storage devices? [22:07] <_2_> :) [22:07] <_2_> (L) [22:07] <_2_> :D [22:07] I guess it is because something, somewhere, has installed a "batshit crazy"(tm) version of lib-mesa [22:08] so now i either have to find a version of libsdl that works with the batshit crazy libmesa [22:08] OR === thoonai_ is now known as thoonai [22:08] uninstall libmesa and reinstalll...but frankly that looks like it will set the world on fire === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [22:08] so, thoughts? :) [22:08] OerHeks: it looks like that process is exactly the same as i've done manually [22:08] sinjax: are you using a PPA or another out-of-band APT repo? [22:08] Hey guys. My mouse has stopped working partially. Multiple mice and two computers confirm that all the mouse buttons are working but KDE recognizes no mouse movement except with touchpad [22:08] yeats: I believe i am yes [22:09] kostkon: there are 2 software sources one is -kde and the other -gtk, which one do i want? [22:09] dmesg: http://pastebin.com/3EMsYL1P [22:09] sinjax: then you might need to remove the PPAs and see if that fixes the issue [22:09] for...hmm...spotify.... and nvidia's own drivers....etc...th [22:09] hmm .... having already got the weird version of libmesa is the damage not done? [22:09] kostkon: scratch that. think i already have the one installed [22:09] why does my upstart process keep respawning even when i specify not to respawn and i've modified the normal exit stanza to include the appropriate exit code [22:10] kostkon: can't seem to find it in my dash though [22:10] adamcunnington, search in the dash (by pressing the ubuntu logo, first icon in the launcher starting from the top), not the software centre [22:10] this is incredibly annoying [22:11] yeats: thing is, if i do a: sudo apt-cache madison libglapi-mesa it would seem the weird ass version of libmesa isn't even available any more [22:11] is there a way force install the 9.1.7 version without uninstalling everything else in the world that depends on the current libmesa? [22:11] adamcunnington: IF you are confident that you have the sources file set up to "get" spotify, find out for sure with ->sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade // see what results. [22:11] like...a way to hotswap the library or something? :D [22:12] sinjax: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get might help? [22:13] Bashing-om: yea, i've got spotify now [22:13] kostkon: this is weird, if i type software sources in the dash, nothing comes up, but it shows as downloaded in the software centre [22:13] adamcunnington : You do good work ! [22:13] hey guys! I was wondering if someone could help me out with something. I have some files that have a bunch of IP addresses that I would like to block with IP tables. How can I have IP tables look at those files and automatically add the IPs in the files to the block list? [22:14] adamcunnington, search for "software", it might be called software updates [22:14] kostkon: adamcunnington: software-properties-gtk [22:15] привет ребята есть кто русскоговорящий [22:15] !ru | energizer [22:15] energizer: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [22:15] kostkon: fairly sure it's called software sources and nope, only software centre showing up [22:15] txh) [22:16] adamcunnington, then in the software centre, try selecting edit -> software sources from the menu [22:16] adamcunnington: or type 'software-properties-gtk' in your terminal - either way [22:17] sudormrf: while read ip; do echo $ip; done < ip_list.txt just replace "echo $ip" with whatever to blick that ip with iptables [22:19] hitsujiTMO: would I need to add something like "iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP" to that? [22:19] sudormrf: so you could maybe: while read ip; do iptables -A INPUT -s "$ip" -j DROP; done < ip_list.txt [22:21] hitsujiTMO: thanks. i will give it a shot. [22:25] hitsujiTMO: will that work with a CIDR block as well? [22:25] hitsujiTMO: I just tested it with one IP address and it worked just fine [22:26] hitsujiTMO: I think I have my answer [22:27] sudormrf: sweet. [22:27] sudormrf: if -s accepts a CIDR block then it should work [22:28] hitsujiTMO: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/block-whole-ip-range-with-iptables-469432/ it looks like it does :) [22:28] I am trying to compile an App that uses TCL and it is telling me it cant find the TCL installation how do i find the Tcl library and header file [22:29] sudormrf: sweet. should be sorted then [22:29] yep :) [22:29] Is there a way to install ubuntu packages to an alternate root location? [22:30] hitsujiTMO: testing it now. the list is pretty long, hoping it goes well. [22:30] dgarstang: Yeah, you can use deboostrap and then install the packages you want to. [22:30] heyo [22:31] !virtualbox [22:31] 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 [22:31] hitsujiTMO: just one more question. what would make that text you gave verbose? [22:32] sudormrf: verbose in what way? [22:32] does anyone know of a calculator that includes unit conversions and history tape [22:33] yeats: kostkon thanks [22:33] adamcunnington, did you manage to install it? [22:33] hitsujiTMO: so I can see what it is doing as it is doing it. [22:34] Hi. I installed ubuntu 12.04 alongside windows 8 without uefi, and then used the repair disc to do bootrec /fixmbr, but when I load windows it still shows startup error [22:34] FuuqUmiist: http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20100129194223103/Calculators.html [22:34] sudormrf: ahh, echo out the command: while read ip; do echo "iptables -A INPUT -s $ip -j DROP"; iptables -A INPUT -s "$ip" -j DROP; done < ip_list.txt [22:34] Is there something different to do for windows 8 than windows 7 dual boots? [22:35] how does ubuntu software centre differ from what i can access with apt-get install [22:35] aperson: windows 8 is typically a UEFI setup, windows 7 is typically a BIOS setup [22:35] aperture: ^ [22:35] kostkon: it has been installed the whole time just not accessible from dash for some reason [22:35] kostkon: using edit - software sources === tamas is now known as Guest94733 [22:35] adamcunnington, no, i meant spotify [22:36] hitsujiTMO: I've had UEFI disabled from bios before I installed windows 8, and the repair disc does not show the UEFI repair option. How can I fix it if it is UEFI? [22:36] hitsujiTMO: thanks. perhaps you could take a look at a script that I am using from nixcraft and help me tweak it? I have the files that I want to use that have this info in them and this script automates what I am trying to do, but it is trying to download block lists, I don't want it to. if you have a sec, please let me know. [22:37] aperture: repair in what sense? [22:38] sudormrf: can you pastebin the script [22:38] sure. [22:38] hitsujiTMO: windows 8 when I select it from GRUB says it runs into a startup issue and to use the repair disc [22:39] hitsujiTMO: I clicked "install alongside windows 8" on the ubuntu installer, and ran the fixmbr for windows, but still this message pops up. [22:39] hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7030134/ I am thinking of commenting out line 12 and line 45 to solve the problem. will that work? [22:39] aperture: i see. you'd have to ask about that issue in ##windows ... i'm unsure of what the exact cause would be [22:40] No problem, I'll check there [22:40] I'd assume it has to deal with ubuntu resizing the windows drive [22:40] sudormrf: i assume tDB=$ZONEROOT/$c.zone refers to an existing file? [22:41] hitsujiTMO: correct. the original script downloaded files that were like ro.zone [22:42] sudormrf: that should be ok to prevent further downloads then [22:42] hitsujiTMO: but because that site is now pretty much defunct I found the same info elsewhere and dropped the ip addresses into those zone files. [22:42] hitsujiTMO: sweet! going to try it now [22:42] anyone knwos of a virtualbox PPA for saucy?\ [22:43] tucemiux: vbox provides .debs https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [22:43] hitsujiTMO: it looks like it is working :) [22:43] !yay | sudormrf [22:43] sudormrf: Glad you made it! :-) [22:44] kostkon: oh yea, happy listening :) thanks [22:44] adamcunnington, :) [22:44] hello friends. is this a support channel? [22:44] hitsujiTMO: LOL NICE! it is probably going to take a while because this is going to exclude a ton of address space. BTW, do you happen to know of a site like ipdeny.com that is active? I found the info elsewhere, but it would be nice if there were a site that maintained an up to date list [22:45] sudormrf: afraid not. found there is as much damage from false positives from such lists [22:46] hitsujiTMO: good point. [22:47] bekks none of those calculators have both unit conversion and history tape [22:48] I've made a ubuntu update recently and my compiz windows don't work :( any help? [22:50] kostkon: would you mind giving me another third party install example? [22:50] adamcunnington, what do you mean? [22:50] kostkon: i want to install sublime text editor, how should i go about doing this given that it's not in an ubuntu repository / accesible from the software centre [22:50] velho, What release of ubuntu, and desktop and how have you modified compiz, if you have? [22:50] adamcunnington: donwload the tarball, then unzip it, then install it from source [22:50] adamcunnington: there is step by step on the sublime website [22:51] just did it today [22:51] adamcunnington, just get sublime 3, http://www.sublimetext.com/3 === akim__ is now known as akim === webfox_ is now known as webfox [22:51] adamcunnington, download the ubuntu deb pacakge, then double click on it to isntall it [22:52] kostkon: ok thanks [22:53] Beldar, I'm not sure. what's the release. How can I get that info? I'm using a laptop, and I've modified compiz a little bit [22:54] kostkon: i double clicked on the .tar.bz2 file and it opened in file manager, now what? [22:54] Beldar, I've installed ubuntu for a wile, and I know it needs some updates [22:54] adamcunnington, the deb packge, one of these "ubuntu 32bit" or "ubuntu 64bit" [22:54] I would like to know what are the command to update everything, i don't remember... thank you! [22:54] velho: lsb_release -a [22:55] velho: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:55] velho, lsb_release -a [22:55] kostkon: yea, i selected 64 bit and it downloaded a bzipped tarball [22:55] doh already posted [22:56] kostkon: http://www.sublimetext.com/2 [22:56] adamcunnington: So what are you downloading? [22:57] adamcunnington: sublimetext.com/3 has a .deb you can install instead. it will use the sb2 key if you have one [22:57] Beldar, Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS [22:58] usr13, thank you :D [22:58] velho: NP, (Are you getting updates now?) [22:58] hitsujiTMO: i don't have a license key yet but i'd rather download the stable version as i'm new to sublime too [22:58] usr13: sublime 2 [22:59] how do i install from a tar gz? [22:59] tar.bz2* [22:59] adamcunnington: the "BETA" is stable [23:00] adamcunnington: most peeps have moved onto it. its only in perpet [23:00] adamcunnington: Well, you'd have to install the build-essential package. You unzip/untar the file, cd to resulting directory, configure, make and then sudo make install. BUT, you should look for a pre-built package first. [23:00] adamcunnington: its only in beta to encourage peeps to get used to it so they'll upgrade when its goes to release [23:00] usr13, nothing updted... maybe because it's already up to date? [23:01] adamcunnington: (Pre-built-package is caled "deb" for short because of the file name, it will be some-name.deb) [23:01] velho: If it's already up-to-date, it would say so. [23:01] velho, number of issues can cause this, for example a proprietary graphic driver and a kernel upgrade, this sound familiar? [23:02] Beldar, it sure does sound familiar! [23:03] sorry, i disconnected. How do i install from a .tar.bz2? [23:03] velho, When using a proprietary driver it is reloaded after a kernel upgrade is all. You can reset unity/compiz but a this does not fix a graphic driver issue. [23:03] !tar [23:03] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [23:04] adamcunnington: http://www.technoreply.com/how-to-install-sublime-text-2-on-ubuntu-12-04-unity/ [23:04] adamcunnington: its only in beta to encourage peeps to get used to it so they'll upgrade when its goes to release [23:04] Beldar, so, maybe the problem is the drivers from the graphics card? [23:04] adamcunnington: otherwise use the ppa if you really want to stick with the old version http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/sublime-text-2-ubuntu-ppa.html [23:05] velho, This a nvidia and your using a proprietary driver? [23:05] adamcunnington: But if there is a ppa, chose that route for sure. [23:05] hitsujiTMO: I found out the Windows 8 dual boot issue [23:05] hitsujiTMO: you'd recommend 3 then? [23:05] adamcunnington: yes. its what i use and is an improvement over 2 [23:06] hitsujiTMO: I have two drives, 120gb ssd and 1tb hdd. Windows was on ssd, I hit install alongside windows, and it wiped the ssd, put ubuntu on it, and then in grub it attempts to boot windows from /dev/sdb (1tb drive) [23:06] Beldar, I think it's an AMD [23:06] hitsujiTMO: ok thanks [23:06] aperture: ahh.. interesting oddity [23:06] hi [23:07] hitsujiTMO: Indeed. I backed up the data, but it's worth filling out a bug report over. [23:07] velho, lspci in the terminal will identify the hardware, you install fglrx? [23:08] aperture: not sure. it depends on exactly what happened. as in, if you were installing ubuntu in uefi mode then it wouldn't have actually seen windows which would have caused the issue, and wouldn't be considered a bug [23:08] velho, I'm not real up on graphics stuff I have always had intel that just work, just phishing for the right data needed here. [23:09] hitsujiTMO: perhaps you could help me with using UFW instead of iptables? i gave it a quick test over the weekend and lost all connectivity [23:09] Question from a current-Mac user: Does Ubuntu provide by default to tag files? [23:10] sudormrf: ufw is super easy. set your allow rules first. then your deny. then enable it [23:10] how do i uninstall? apt-get remove ? [23:10] Beldar, my graphics card is an [AMD/ATI] RV730/M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650/5165] [23:10] sudormrf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [23:11] Beldar, thank you for the support. I'm gonna restart... sometimes it fixes it :D [23:11] hitsujiTMO: so my question is this. suppose I allow traffic to a certain port, that wouldn't block ips from scanning/trying to connect to it, so I feel like UFW may not be the right path for me. [23:11] velho: not supported by fglrx anymore if thats what you are doing [23:11] velho, Look up reset for 12.04 unity/compiz it is different through releases so be sure it's an 12.04 [23:12] Question from a current-Mac user: Does Ubuntu provide by default to tag files? [23:12] sudormrf: ufw is just a wrapper for iptables. makes things simple for firewall usage [23:12] hitsujiTMO, Trying to phish out if fglrx has been used, failed so far. ;) [23:12] hipitihop, what's fglrx? [23:12] How do i uninstall an app? [23:13] velho: fglrx is the proprietary ati driver (the one ati provide) [23:13] adamcunnington: how did you install it? [23:13] Has ubuntu a 7unzip or similar client to unzip 7zip files? [23:13] Daghdha: 7zip [23:14] hitsujiTMO, so, there is no latest driver for this hardware? [23:14] Daghdha: p7zip [23:14] hitsujiTMO: using apt-get install [23:14] velho: theres the latest opensource driver. but not ati provided driver [23:14] adamcunnington: apt-get remove [23:14] adamcunnington: Removing an ap is dependent on how it was installed - apt-get remove is used in cases where the system package manager was used to install. [23:14] Beldar, I've just updated Ubuntu. Compiz was working fine... now it's not :( [23:15] hitsujiTMO, does the opensource driver updates automatically with the system? [23:15] no 7zip on my system.. guess i add it [23:16] velho: yup [23:16] Bashing-om: thanks hitsujiTMO [23:16] hitsujiTMO, so, maybe my problem is only with compiz, and not with the drivers? [23:16] Bashing-om: do i need to run apt-get remove as sudo? [23:17] velho: possibly. what exactly is going wrong now? [23:17] adamcunnington: yup, (system change requires that authorization ), [23:17] holy hell moving window in VNC totally screwed it. [23:18] it's just calld 7z === jscott1989 is now known as jscott1989[away] [23:21] Error cannot use absolute path names with this command when i try ti un7zip === jscott1989[away] is now known as jscott1989[a] [23:21] can you only extract 7zip to current folder? [23:22] hitsujiTMO, compiz effects do not work [23:22] velho: what version of ubuntu? [23:25] hitsujiTMO, Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS [23:26] velho: try resetting compiz: unity --reset [23:26] hitsujiTMO, I've just search on ubuntu's site. this is not the latest version, is it? [23:26] why does my irc client keep showing blank lines [23:26] velho: thats latest LTS [23:26] hitsujiTMO, hmm [23:27] for desktop [23:27] wish i had some 7zip gui [23:27] anyway, thanks hitsujiTMO [23:27] and cu :) [23:29] velho, did you aim that @ me ? [23:29] hipitihop: no, that was for me [23:30] hitsujiTMO, wow! I think i need to restart this now... i can't change the windows now :\ [23:31] hipitihop, sorry! I meant to tag hitsujiTMO instead. sorry for the confusion [23:32] hitsujiTMO, brb! [23:32] Hi. Is there a way to show the versions of all the dependencies of a particular package? [23:32] Like dpkg -s, parsing the Depends etc., then dpkg -l all of those packages. [23:32] Without me having to do this work. [23:32] everald: apt-cache show packagename | grep 'Depends\|Recommends' [23:34] hitsujiTMO, I want the actual versions of the libraries that are installed. This doesn't give me that. [23:34] everald: no, just whats required [23:34] everald: for that you'd prob have to script [23:34] As I said, I'm looking for a way to show it for me. [23:35] Without me having to code it up. [23:35] reportbug has that code. [23:35] I'm hoping I don't have to rip it from there either. [23:35] what haoppened to pear linux [23:35] Does anyone else have issues with the auto-hide launcher in 13.10 not responding to mouse pressure? [23:36] !autohide | samuraibsd [23:36] hitsujiTMO, that command ruined all my gui [23:37] You tried to pipe me something, but it didn't show me anything [23:37] velho: :( did you tweak compiz? [23:37] i did! [23:37] hitsujiTMO, i did! is there a way to default it? [23:37] velho, np [23:38] velho: ahh, unity doesn't work well with many tweaks. try http://askubuntu.com/questions/348438/how-can-i-reset-compiz-settings-to-default [23:42] hitsujiTMO: I don't know if UFW is going to do what I want to do. It is a firewall, but if I am still allowing access to certain ports than these potentially malicious IP addresses would still be able to access via those ports, correct? [23:43] sudormrf: yes. you may need to issue the specific denies before the generic allow for that port [23:45] hitsujiTMO: hmm. doing specific allows would become very tedious and would be counter productive. I just added a metric ton of IP addresses into the IP tables with the DROP flag which makes for some very ugly IPTables. [23:45] sudormrf: eitherway its going to have the same results. ufw is simply an iptables wrapper [23:46] hitsujiTMO, usr13 Beldar thank's for all the support, virtual friends :D cheer's and have a nice life [23:46] hitsujiTMO: yeah. do you know of anything more dynamic? I tried pgl, but that really blocked every single bit of traffic. I am looking at fail2ban right now. [23:47] sudormrf: fail2ban again does the same thing, but would be more dynamic. it reads logs and enacts iptables bans based on bad log entries [23:51] :) [23:55] adamcunnington [23:56] adamcunnington, you still there? [23:56] hitsujiTMO: thanks. I will have a look. [23:56] is there a free alternative to iwlwifi firmware?
