Piciadamcunnington: by default it will install the one with the most greatest version number, which is usually what you want.00:05
adamcunningtonPici: ok great thanks, which one does it display description for though because apt-cache search looks like the core repository00:06
rocktopany ubuntu best torrent tracker please ?00:06
ikoniarocktop: do you actually want to know about ubuntu or centos ?00:07
Piciadamcunnington: take a look at apt-cache policy's output to determine where it is looking00:07
ikoniarocktop: they have quite different packages available, so I'm just asking you to clarify00:07
rocktopikonia:  I have both00:07
ikoniarocktop: are you trying to use them together or totally seperate ?00:07
rocktopikonia:  any one available will be the good00:07
ikoniarocktop: what sort of functionality do you want as "best" is pretty open ?00:07
adamcunningtonPici: yea, i checked it out in synaptics, thanks mate00:08
rocktopikonia:  I don't find anything for centos , and I am looking some one for ubuntu00:08
ikoniarocktop: search for "torrent" in the package manager to get pretty much all available options00:08
=== jonathon is now known as Guest96540
ikoniarocktop: but if you want specific advice then you'll need to call out your requirements00:08
rocktopikonia:  No Matches found00:09
ikoniarocktop: that seems very unlikley that there are no matches for the word torrent00:09
rocktopikonia:  I run now my centos machine00:10
rocktopikonia:  is there anything for centos ?00:10
ikoniarocktop: thats not really going to help you - you said you wanted ubuntu00:10
ikoniarocktop: #centos is the centos channel, that's why I asked if you wanted centos or ubuntu help00:10

Yoda3890Anyone here... I seem to be having intermittent issues with my computer when I enter my password for any reason (login, sudo, unlock). The system seems to "hang" for a bit (30s to a min?) before successfully authenticating my password. "gnome-screensaver-command -d" works just fine when the system is "hanging." In a terminal with sudo I get an error saying it failed to contact kerberos.mit.edu becuase the connection timed out.00:31

isashaJust wondering, how come both chromium and firefox have such a hard time keeping up with my browsing on ubuntu, compared with os x?00:45
fibz_dont know. my xubuntu renders pages in firefox faster then windows or osx00:45
isashaOn the same laptop, under ubuntu things start to visibly slow down with just a few tabs open, whereas under os x I can have a hundred tabs open before any lag starts to come00:45
isashafurthermore, if I open a tab too many, the whole system hangs and I have to force shut it down00:46
isasha... aaand the problem now is that I force shut it down improperly and now it won't boot :/00:46
fibz_it sounds like a bigger problem than just loading pages less quickly00:46
isashayeah it does sound like that too00:47
adamcunningtonhow can i check pc specs from within ubuntu? specifically cpu00:47
isashacould it be related to available disk space?00:47
isashaadamcunnington: Hit Super (Start button in windows) , Type and and open System Monitor.00:48
adamcunningtonisasha: perfect thtnka00:48
adamcunningtonthanks*00:48
isashano problem ;)00:48
fibz_im my experience, it's either a problem with the sata/ide controller, a problem with the cable, a problem with the hard drive, or it is just swapping too much. cant keep up with running the system and swap. but that may not be your problem. if you dont get an answer right away, i would take this problem to the forum00:49
OerHeksadamcunnington, lscpu00:49
HackerIIadamcunnington   cat /proc/cpuinfo00:50
* HackerII goes for coffee00:50
isashafibz_: it's an SSD and I believe it's directly connected to the mobo, and I don't have swap00:51
OerHeksHackerII, black please, and lshw is also fun00:51
fibz_that could be the issue. perhapse you should try adding a mechinical hard drive with a swap partition00:51
fibz_this laptop doesnt have swap and sometimes i have mouse lag00:52
isashaI... can't exactly add a hardrive to a laptop00:52
OerHeksNo swap, those issues fit perfect00:52
isashaWhen I was first setting it up with ubuntu people on here told me that swap isn't neccesary00:52
OerHeksisasha, depends how you ask that00:52
fibz_well it sounds like your FSB isnt able to keep up00:53
isashafront-side bus? I have no issues on os-x which runs of the same ssd00:53
fibz_because your OSX has a SWAP00:54
isashaso.... I should set up a swap partition for ubuntu?00:54
fibz_it would at least eliminate that as the issue00:54
hahahow strange it is! sometimes my ubuntu startup with command line ,sometimes xwindow00:55
fibz_your logs might tell you why00:56
isashahow big should my swap be fibz_ ? equivalent to my ram iirc?00:56

basketballhow do i set my pc up where when i press alt then a letter it types the spanish version of the letter   like in windows01:00
EminentDomainnot sure what you mean by password protected sharing01:01
EminentDomainit's a server 2008 machine i have EVERYONE set to full control01:01
EminentDomainbut besdies which i'm trying to connect as the administrator user01:01
fibz_are you on the same network? are you on the same workgroup? do you have samba installed? is filesharing enabled in windows? is password protected sharing enabled in windows EminentDomain?01:02
EminentDomainfibz_ yes same network01:02
EminentDomaini assume samba is installed by default with ubuntu desktop seeing as there is a built in option to connect to windows share in nautilus01:03
EminentDomainand filesharing is enabled seeing as other machines on the lan can access it01:03
EminentDomainan i have no clue what password protected sharing is in windows01:03
fibz_try sharing a folder in nautilus and make sure it doesnt ask to install anything01:03
fibz_well for windows support, you should ask in ##windows01:04
hahacheck your firewall?01:04

EminentDomaini didn't ask in windows since i'm not having an issue with windows01:05

fibz_on which side?01:11
EminentDomainubuntu side01:11
EminentDomaincant copy or write anything to or from01:11
fibz_that would be the effective permissions on the server side which is ##windows01:12

I tried doing "dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb; sync" and I tried doing "cat ubuntu.iso > /dev/sdb; sync" as root of course, and I tried using Unetbootin, which seems way too buggy to use.

justin_zwCorrect me if I'm wrong, but pages made with FormSpecialPage actually process the submitted data on the same page, right? So the onSubmit callback is suppoes to be doing whatever you wanted to do with that data?04:26
justin_zw(For example, for an email extension, I would send the email in onSubmit)04:27
marzBeldar: I'm not so sur emyself either. What I'm trying to say is when I logged in to my other account, the account where I used the CCSM, all the windows that I open are transparent.04:27
Beldarmarz, If compiz is correct unity --reset should work04:27
Beldarmarz, try in that account unity --reset   usually a reboot or logout is needed.04:28
marzBeldar: Can't do it in tty, I can't do it in GUI either since I can't see anything when I log in to the other account.04:28

TheProfGood day.  I've been running ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my server for over a year very well. But now a recent reboot and my machine will not load: "Gave up waiting for root device" and "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/really-long-string does not exist." and drops me into a busy-box shell.  I'm the IT volunteer at this school so I'm looking for guidance please.05:04

somsipTheProf: sounds like a dead HD, bad connection, or similar05:05
crocketWhat feed aggregator do you recommend for ubuntu 13.10?05:05
TheProfsomsip, Hello.  The boot partition resides on a RAID1 controller.  The raid 1 says it's not degraded.  I suppose my question is - if the disk is dead, how did it boot up that far? Thank you05:06
somsipTheProf: no idea about raid, so I can't help further05:06
TheProfsomsip, That's no problem.  Assuming that it's just a regular drive, is there a recommended course of action to resolve this?05:08
somsipTheProf: check connections, check BIOS, check the HD in another machine, replace the HD. Something like that05:08
GoldStandardis it okay to trust ubuntu mirrors? also, each time i try to determine the best server using the "select best server" tool, it gives me a different result05:10
TheProfsomsip, OK I understand.  If I can access / on the failed drive on another machine, can I pull off certain configuration files to keep my users username and passwords?05:10
somsipGoldStandard: official mirrors are official. Network conditions may vary05:10
GoldStandardsomsip cool thanks05:11
GoldStandardsomsip are mirrors really that much faster than the main server?05:11
somsipTheProf: trying in anpther machine will isolate whether it's a HD issue or a HD controller/mobo issue (or possibly something else that isn't directly the HD's fault)05:11
somsipGoldStandard: depends on network conditions. I do't use US servers because I don't like in the US, for example05:12

kopasetikHi all, have you heard about the GnuTLS crypto bug?05:53
noobuntuHI, so I need to change current partition which is Ubuntu is installed on to NTSF. I'm wondering if I go to disks->change partitiion type, will it successfully reformat and allow my window discs to install os on it?05:57
Beldarkopasetik, Not a support issue is all.05:57
Beldarnoobuntu, You can make a ntfs in linux or on the install.05:58
noobuntuSo after I change the partition type, it won't just "corrupt" and shut off and be unable to change OS, correct? I'm changing the type while on the same OS.06:00
kopasetikwell, don't i need to install a new version of the app?06:00
kopasetikor will ubuntu roll out an update automatically?06:00

CarlFKnoobuntu: if you are hoping to change ntfs to ext4 .. I would be very surprised if you can do that without backing, mkfs, restore.  "in place upgrade" is what you want, and all I can find is ext3 to 4, like mentioned in the link I just posted06:14

tasslehoffI have some applications installed in non-standard locations, and have symlinks to them in ~/bin. Where should I add this to PATH to make sure various launchers know of it? /etc/profile?08:36

drugaddictlinux is for niggers08:41
tasslehoffsomsip: but then e.g. the "Run Application" in gnome does not know the path?08:45
somsiptasslehoff: I have no idea how gnome works in that respect, so I can't help further08:46
llutztasslehoff: aren't those launchers using *.desktop files in */share/apllications and not stuff from $PATH?08:47
CaelumI'm following an arch guide and it says to make a file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/ but there is no such directory on ubuntu, what is the equivalent?08:48
llutzCaelum: to do what?08:48
somsipCaelum: what's the link for the guide?08:48
Caelumllutz: this part here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_C720_Chromebook#Fixing_suspend08:49
tasslehoffllutz: yeah. it actually looks like it has picked up my applications, and that the problem is something else.08:50
tasslehoffllutz: the apps are installed to /opt, and have created the proper *.desktop files08:50
somsipCaelum: I'd suggest you find a guide for ubuntu. There may be more in that guide that is Arch specific looking at it briefly08:51
llutzCaelum: look at /etc/pm/ if you need to run scripts on sleep/resume08:53
Caelumllutz: yeah I got that part, but what is this weird conf files for tmpfiles.d, maybe I don't need it08:53
Caelumah looks like a systemd thing08:54
llutzCaelum: arch uses systemd and other mechanisms to sleep/resume, that has nothing in common with *buntu. i'd guess that guide is senseless for you08:54
Caelumllutz: no there's lots of other useful stuff in there08:55
llutzCaelum: if you need that unbind/bind part for ehci, look at /etc/pm/sleep/*08:55

Voyageusing kubuntu,  I cant speak by my microphone pluged in. but the built in micro phone of my laptop works. I have toogled the audio settings but no use. any one has a clue?  I used  pavucontrol but  cant work with any drop down option in pavucontrol...  any other way to see if my audio can work?09:03
iptableg0ne, use putty emulator ;)09:03
iptableVoyage, is the external mic a mini-jack or an USB?09:04
Voyageiptable,  external mic09:06
Voyageits like a long thing thing plugged into the mic port09:06
iptableVoyage, I do understand it's external. Question is, is it a USB external, or mini-jack? I.e. rectangle plugin or a small round one?09:07
Voyageits not usb for sure09:07
iptableVoyage, in that case, when you plug it in, your motherboard automatically switches sound from built-in microphone to external microphone. There is no sftware control for it09:08
Voyageya, the internal mic works ok. but when I plug the external, it doesnot works.09:08
iptableVoyage, it means, as soon as the mic is plugged in, it should be working instead of the internal one. The software doesn't know if anything is plugged in or not. It's hardware controlled.09:08
Voyagewhat can be the reason09:08
iptableVoyage, 1. faulty microphone, or 2. faulty/loose connection on your computer09:09
Voyageno, its not hardware issue09:09
iptableVoyage, test with another external microphone to find out which one is at fault. Alternatively get a USB microphone. These work very well and you can switch to them using pavucontrol at your heart's content.09:09
Voyageas I have a wired problem in windows 7. there, the mic works, but headphones dont. its really strange09:09
Voyageiptable,  I have dont testing another mic.09:10
Voyagesame for all09:10
iptableVoyage, it IS hardware issue. Software, as stated, has got nothing to do with it.09:10
iptableVoyage, hardware automatically switches inputs. Tried wiggling it a bit while recordign sound?09:10
Voyageiptable,  if it was hardware issue. the external mic should not have worked in windows 709:10
majodiptable: that nick is really confusing :)09:10
Voyageiptable,  tried wigling. yes.09:10
iptablemajod, just 1 table, I'm not greedy. When my nick was iptables, I got pinged whenever someone mentioned them.09:11
Voyageiptable,  if it was hardware issue. the external mic should not have worked in windows 7  . < do I have a point?09:11
iptableVoyage, how many sound cards does pavucontrol see?09:11
Voyagelet me see09:11
iptableVoyage, not necessarily. are you sure you plugged it in to mic control and not accidentally to sound OUT?09:11
VoyageI used sound input09:12
gfhhhjyes09:12
gfhhhj?09:12
VoyageI can see  microphone, internal microphone, line in.       none worked09:12
Voyageiptable,  ^09:12
iptableVoyage, uhm, what actual inputs/outputs do you have on your motherboard?09:13
gfhhhjwhat the09:13
gfhhhjcommand for update09:13
Voyageiptable,  output is one headphone port. input is one mic port09:14
iptableVoyage, only 2 ports?09:14
Voyageiptable,  yes09:14
iptableVoyage, and does pavucontrol otherwise change sound settings for you (like volume)?09:14
Voyageyes09:15
Voyageit does09:15
g0nehow do i list all muh fonts09:15
Caelumxlsfonts09:15
iptableVoyage, so mic goes into input and you set it as "Microphone".09:15
g0necan i preview them?09:15
Voyageiptable,  affirmative09:15
Caelumxfontsel09:16
Caelumbut there are better progs09:16
Caelumg0ne: try terminator09:16
iptableVoyage, so, in pavucontrol, you go to the "input devices" tab and make sure the "port" is set to microphone. check all ports for the sake of it.09:16
Caelumg0ne: konsole is also nice09:16
iptableVoyage, also, once selected each port, change volume a bit to make sure it volumizes it before testing.09:17
=== pseudo is now known as pseudo_opcode

Voyageiptable,  the mic switches when i plug in the external. switches means from internal to external but the volumn dont change while i speak in the external one\09:20
iptableVoyage, I know. but sometimes the volume control might not be reading it right after plugin. can you just try?09:21
iptableVoyage, and also click on "fallback" button in "input devices" section. Are you sure you chosen "duplex" as I told you?09:21
iptableVoyage, and one last thing, if you unplug both the speakers and the microphone and then plug only microphone in, does it work then?09:21
iptableVoyage, and it one thing doesn't work in windows, while another in ubuntu, and both of the same sound card, it looks like some screwed up hardware, and that would be hardware issue, with sofwtare not being able to find out how the hell it's meant to work...09:22
ktosiekHi! Is anyone here using the Ubuntu-provided redmine?09:23

tripelb12.04 the panel marker for networking vanished. (and it still hangs in downloading adobe flash)09:26
iptableVoyage, I would still blame the hardware. Looks like it's got some control modes messed up. you could maybe get it to work if you try enough times... try changing from "duplex" to "input" in configuration tab and playing with that. at some point you will get mic to work, but no sound then :D09:26

iptableVoyage, no problem. I would complain to HW vendor if you can and get antoher machine (if it's new).09:29
Voyageiptable,  i see when external mic is selected. the volumn goes up and down. but not according to my voice. and I dont hear anything in the recording. else than distortion09:29
iptableVoyage, it could be that the solders are loose on the ports, causing a short circuit and you can only get one to work.09:29
iptableVoyage, that would be the short circuit I just said about. looks like a goner09:30
Voyageiptable,  strange that linux and windows make work the opposit09:30
Voyagethe mic works in windows 7 but not the hadphone09:30

iptableVoyage, they use different settings. you could get linux to be working as windows is, but by default it's the other way09:30

kdworakiptable: i thought u had to use those for multiple commands09:37

iptablekdworak, no. you use ``, if you want to execute that first and then execcute the OUTPUT of it09:37
kdworakiptable: ahh that makes sense09:38
iptablekdworak, so you were ending up executing your command and then trying to execute the output of it (which was 2.0G, and that command doesn't exist)09:38
kdworakiptable: let me try and get back to u09:38
kdworakiptable: makes sense!09:38

=== firefly_ is now known as firefly_dk

=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
usr13_luft: I don't know that it really requires a lot more changes, but to my way of thinking, that's what you need, because if it were bridged, the guest would be listening independly to the outside.15:05
usr13_luft: And then the router would be forwarding a port to it.15:06
usr13_luft: Right?15:06

lufton the host15:08
usr13_luft: Ok, then, I'm a bit confused as to why you would have 2 servers running on the same network?15:09
luftthen I'll open the port when I'm happy15:09
usr13_luft: Why two web-servers?15:09
luftusr13_: host machine's apache2 is the production server, vm is test server15:09
usr13_luft: If it is the test server, why does it need outside access?15:10
luftjust so my lab members can test it easily instead of downloading and installing libvirtd etc etc15:10
usr13_luft: Ok15:11
usr13_luft: And lab members are on the other side of the same router.  Right?15:11
luftyes15:12
usr13_luft: In that case, you should probably have an alias on another IP for it.15:12
usr13_luft: So instead of just a different port, use a different IP address.15:13
usr13_luft: Ok?15:13
luftusr13_: I don't know if I have enough control over the network at the moment to perform such a change15:14
usr13_luft: You don't have access to another IP address?15:14
usr13_luft: ...because that's all you need, is one more IP address.  Right?15:15
luftusr13_: wouldn't that alias have to be added to another machine?15:16
usr13_luft: Well, the way you are doing it now, you could just add it to the host, and then forward it's port 80 traffic as you are tryint to do now, (only much simplier). Right?15:17
usr13_luft: At any rate, just using another IP address is the way to go.15:17
luftwhere would I add the alias?15:18
usr13_luft: Well, it's up to you, but if what you say is true, that the host is dong nat to the VM guest, then do it on the host, eth0:015:18
sidiHi. I'm currently looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_privilege_authorization_features and it seems to suggest that on *buntu systems, when an admin requires privilege escalation to root to perform an admin task, their password is asked instead of the root password. I seem to recall *buntu does not necessarily have a root password. Could anybody confirm whether it is indeed the user's password being asked?15:19
usr13_luft: Do you have an IP?15:19
cfhowlett!root15:19
ubottuDo 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/RootSudo15:19
cfhowlettsidi, sudoers have a password.  if you're doing a privileged task, the sudo password will be requested15:19
luftusr13_: I have a static ip assigned to eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces15:19
sidicfhowlett, thanks. do you know if there's any documentation why this is considered a better practice than a root password?15:20

Indy_where i couldnt find solution, nor google or irc, forums etc15:54
Indy_i m gonna try with the new LTS... lets hope i dont get failed again :/15:54
ActionParsnipIndy_: you dont have to use Unity......15:54
brunoaisdoes anyone know how can I get the list of files a process has tried to open so far and failed to open?15:54
usr13_Indy_: Why didn't you try another Desktop Environmnent?15:54
brunoaisif it is impossible, is there a way to attach a listener to such thing to a program to which I can't start directly?15:55
tmmunqyeah... i dont... i tried for a couple weeks but was constantly running into problems.15:55
Indy_ActionParsnip: ok15:55
ActionParsnipIndy_: If you dont like Unity, don't use it, use a different shell like Gnome-shell. Or you can switch entirely to KDE, XFCE, LXDE and so on.15:55
brunoais(e.g. this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/191964/how-do-i-know-which-file-a-program-is-trying-to-access  does not work for me)15:55
ActionParsnipIndy_: is your dislike of Unity why you switch from Ubuntu?15:55
Indy_not dislike15:55
usr13_Indy_: If you did not like Unity, there was xfce lxde kde etc. etc.15:55
Indy_unusability in my case back then15:55
Indy_there were some serious bugs15:55
ActionParsnipIndy_: thats fine. Again, you dont have to use Unity15:55
Indy_ok15:56
Indy_anyway, all I wanted to say15:56
ActionParsnipIndy_: so why didnt you just switch session?15:56
MonkeyDustIndy_  if you don't like unity, don't use it... install and use something else15:56
ActionParsnipIndy_: is that seriously your thought process...?15:56
Indy_was I really wanted the whole process to be smooth and seamless, not for me, I could find a solution, but for the end user15:56
ActionParsnipIndy_: it is, install a new desktop, log off, log in to the new. Done15:56
MonkeyDustIndy_  http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg15:57
Indy_how much point is there for my grandma to use ubuntu if she has to switch from unity to another cause of unusability? shouldnt she just press the button and everything works?15:57
Indy_while the competition (windows, mac) is what it is15:57
ActionParsnipIndy_: the session per user is remembered, so she'll just log in and get the sesison she used last15:57
MonkeyDustIndy_  logout, switch, login, that's all there's to it15:57
ActionParsnipIndy_: each user can use a different desktop if you want15:57
Indy_hmmm15:57
Indy_ok...15:57
usr13_Indy_: You find something you like and stick with it.15:58
ActionParsnipIndy_: if you want a windowsy feel, instal kubuntu, it uses KDE instead of Gnome15:58
Indy_no i dont want a windowsy feel i like gnome15:58
Indy_i didnt say that for myself i said it for all potential end users15:58
ActionParsnipIndy_: then install Cinammon, its in the default repos15:58
usr13_Indy_: If you like gnome use it, (or xfce)15:59
usr13_Indy_: Or yea, Cinammon15:59
Indy_and as i said, it wasn't a matter of likeness etc, there were some plain, heavy usability bugs15:59
ActionParsnipIndy_: the OS is very customisable, its like switching back to Windows because Firefox is the default web browser and you perfer Chrome15:59
Indy_and as i recall it wasn't as simple as "swicth DE option, logoff then login" cause that process had some bugs too15:59
ActionParsnipIndy_: the desktop is as changable as a web browser15:59
Indy_i am talking about 3-4 versions ago16:00
Indy_when unity first made it in16:00
ActionParsnipIndy_: its been like this since day 016:00
Indy_all I am saying is I really hope those bold bugs are absent now16:00
ActionParsnipIndy_: this is linux, where choice is champion16:00
Indy_hehe16:00
trijntjeIndy_: the best way to help other users is to file bugs when you encounter problems, not complain about them 2 years later16:00
usr13_Indy_: I think that the point we are trying to make is that this is not a cookie-cutter OS, there are *many* options.16:00
Indy_trijntje: my smartass friend i did and did and did by bug report grew white beard16:00
Indy_but*16:01
ActionParsnipIndy_: so can you see why switching back to windows, burely due to a dislike of Unity is quite hilarious16:01
Indy_i didnt do it cause of that (only)16:01
Indy_and i didnt exactly "switch"16:02
usr13_Indy_: What *exactly* did you do?16:02
Indy_i only had ubuntu on disk, and that (plus) some other things) made me dual boot with windows16:02
Indy_and the sad part is, that windows seemed much more seamless to use, without all those accessibility and usability bugs, my ubuntu installation was facing at that time16:02
Indy_and I am very much worried that if i was (subconsciously) discouraged like this16:03
Indy_imagine about end user16:03
usr13_Indy_: Did you look at the link that MonkeyDust sent you?  ( http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg  )16:03
Indy_yes16:03
Indy_you dont get my point guys16:03
Indy_I am just expressing my worry here16:03
Indy_that me, who i love linux open source etc, having the choice of dual boot, made me over time and time and time16:04
Indy_to use windows more --> to 100% :/16:04
MonkeyDustIndy_  thank you for sharing your feelings with the channel, but also accept and try our suggestions16:04
Indy_cause of accessibility smoothness usability issues16:04
Indy_which i hope there are not present this time16:04
usr13_Indy_: What do you have installed now?16:04
Indy_MonkeyDust: sure16:04
Indy_usr13_: why does it matter?16:05
Indy_anyway, I didnt want to bitch or anything really :)16:05
usr13_Indy_: It matters because if we do not even know what you have installed, how can we give you any specific advise on what to do with it?16:05
Indy_I am gonna get the LTS when it comes out, and I will tell impressions, I am hoping and I am optimistic :)16:05
Indy_usr13_: i didnt come here asking for advice :)16:06
Indy_I just wanted to share this thought :/16:06
Indy_and concern16:06
MonkeyDustIndy_  next time, don't use this channel for it16:06
usr13_Indy_: YOu can install 12.04.4 now and upgrade in April.16:06
abadayhello! How do I change in grub menu so that I can boot directly in bash so I can remove the password of root?16:07
Indy_MonkeyDust: and which one to use then?16:07
MonkeyDustabaday  try recovery mode16:07
Indy_usr13_: I know but I choose not to, in order to emulate a "total end user's experience from scratch"16:07
MonkeyDustIndy_  #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions16:07
Indy_u got it..16:08
whoeverwhen i hit alt:tab all of the little icons look the same16:08
whoeveris this normal on 13.1016:08
usr13_Indy_: Or you can join  #ubuntu+1 and ask about the possibilities of installing 14.04 now.16:08
Indy_usr13_: thanks16:09
bugs_buggerhi there. does anybody know, how i can reset python3 to the default repository version(3.3.2) after having upgraded it compiling from newer sources(3.3.4)? apt-get --reinstall install wont reset the version16:09
usr13_Indy_: NP16:09
abadayMonkeyDust: I tried recovery mode, but it was only in read-only mode, so I cant change anything16:09
trijntjeabaday: what are you trying to achieve?16:10
abadaytrijntje: change password of root, I locked myself out16:10
usr13_!root | abaday16:11
ubottuabaday: 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/RootSudo16:11
brunoaisHey!16:11
trijntjeabaday: of root or of the sudo user?16:11
brunoaisdoes anyone know how can I get the list of files a process has tried to open so far and failed to open?16:11
brunoaisif it is impossible, is there a way to attach a listener to such thing to a program to which I can't start directly?16:11
MonkeyDustabaday  while in lightdm menu, hit ctrl alt F1 ... or is that not what you mean?16:11
usr13_!password | abaday16:11
ubottuabaday: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords16:11
usr13_MonkeyDust: I'm pretty sure what he has done is just forgot his password, so he just needs to follow the steps for password recovery.16:12
abadaymy only other user than root has been removed from sudoers16:12
brunoaisusr13_, if you REEEEALLY want to sdo stuff as root, then use:16:12
brunoaissudo su16:12
usr13_abaday: Did you enable the root account?16:12
usr13_abaday: Or did you just dissable sudo on your account?16:13

=== webfox_ is now known as webfox
brunoaisI dunno which of the processes is doing it I just know the name16:17
brunoaisPici, it has a long list of pids each time it opens16:17
MosDef..16:17
usr13_abaday: Ok and you said that when you went into recovery mode, it was read only?16:17
abadayyes16:18
usr13_abaday: mount -o rw,remount /16:18
usr13_abaday: adduser username sudo replacing username with your user name16:18
usr13_abaday: You should at that point see a message saying 'adding user' followed by 'done'16:19
Picibrunoais: if it is opening child processes, you can use the -f option to automatically pull them in as they open or you can use pidof and multiple -p options to specify multiple pids.  (the manpage explains this)16:19
brunoaisPici, ok. maybe I can trace from the launcher16:20
usr13_abaday: But I'm curious as to why it is in read only mode.  Not sure why that is.16:20
allyaianyone know?16:20

JoeSomebodyhi, gnome fans (i assume) i need help , kde seems pretty flaky on hdmi stuff, now that i am using something with an hdmi, maybe i need to revisit gnome (i was sorta against the lack of customizability if you remember) is hdmi gonna behave any better on gnome? :)16:21
JoeSomebodyis there a ubuntu channel for tv stuff?16:22
usr13_JoeSomebody: For TV stuff, press power button on your remote control.  (sorry couldn't resist)16:23

lalatenduMandres_, hi16:25
andres_do you speak spanish?16:26
usr13_JoeSomebody: Well, I thought I might keep the conversation alive until someone saw it and came up with a solution for you. But I'd say just try anoter DE and see.  Try xfce maybe?16:26
JoeSomebodytried nvidia and radeon, both,  and three kde distros, i am convinced the hdmi in linux is a bit flaky (or at least kde)16:26
allyaillutz told me this yesterday but i never got the chance to see how to fix:16:26
Callan_hello16:26
allyai[17:02] <llutz> allyai: grub needs the grub-files on your ubuntu-disk16:26
allyai[17:02] <llutz> allyai: no ubuntu-disk -> no bootmanager16:26
usr13_JoeSomebody: YOu may be right (about kde).16:27
usr13_JoeSomebody: I would expect Nvidia would work ok.16:27
allyaiwhy do i need grub to boot windows though?16:27
JoeSomebodyi s there a rolling release ubuntu of some kind?16:27
PiciJoeSomebody: no16:27
Callan_I believe the ubuntu download link is down for some reason16:28
usr13_allyai: Because grub is the default boot loader, (and it is easier that way).16:28
JoeSomebodycan i upgrade xbmc within ubuntu 13.10?16:28
GeekDudeIf I'm aiming for lightweight, but with html5 support, I'd be wanting midori?16:28
Callan_Is anyone else having trouble downloading Ubuntu off the site? or the mirror?16:28
mr_64br13lGeekDude: Yep.16:29
allyaiso how do i boot into windows without my ubuntu drive in then?16:29
JoeSomebodyxbmcbuntu passed all tests, but no DE16:29
usr13_allyai: What kind of drive is it?  USB?16:29
JoeSomebodylikes the hardware16:29
allyaiive got two hard drives. one with windows 7 and the other with ubuntu16:29
allyaionly two sata ports, and ive got some data on some other drives i want to get off.16:30
usr13_allyai: Why would you unplug one of the drives?16:30
allyaibut i cant boot into windows or ubuntu without both of those drives plugged in16:30
allyaiwhat do you mean?16:30
usr13_allyai: Why are you unplugging the drive that has Ubuntu on it?16:30
allyaito plug in a drive that i need data off of16:31
usr13_allyai: Ok, I think this is what you need:  (a USB HD adapter, http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-to-IDE-SATA-S-ATA-2-5-3-5-HD-HDD-Adapter-Cable-/180550148600?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item2a09a0a1f8 )16:32

GeekDudeThe page 'file:///user/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' could not be loaded16:34
geniiusr13_: Yes, I keep 2 of those in my kit :)16:34
GeekDudeI suppose that's because I'm on server instead of desktop?16:34
iptableGeekDude, the file on your computer doesn't exist.16:34
iptableGeekDude, also it's /usr/share, not /user16:34
usr13_allyai: Otherwise, plug the drive into another PC and copy the files across the network.16:34
allyaiusr13_: i was gonna just get a pci cardf with the sata ports. but is there a way to fix this now?16:34
usr13_allyai: Yea, use another PC.16:35
allyaixD16:35
usr13_allyai: But the USB adapter is the best solution for sure.16:35

SpudguyHi guys. I have an Ubuntu laptop, I'm connected via wifi to a Comcast Xfinity connection. I can't resolve DNS or even ping IPs. So far I've managed to add 8.8.8.8 onto the DNS list of nm-tool but I'm now completely stuck.16:35
usr13_Spudguy: How is that?16:36
allyaihttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133535316:36
ActionParsnipSpudguy: can you ping your router's internal ip?16:36
usr13_Spudguy: Not sure about "add 8.8.8.8 onto the DNS list of nm-tool" What is that all about?16:36
allyaihow about that?16:37
usr13_Spudguy: Wouldn't you just add  "nameserver 8.8.8.8"  to /etc/resolv.conf ?16:37
SpudguyThe only connection I can make is to 10.0.0.1, and that's loading in the browser16:37

SpudguyI did it via the network manager16:37

I use Xubuntu and one or two months ago, I only had to enter one of my pgp-keys once, afterwards it was "unlocked" for a couple of hours. now I have to enter the pgp-key with every e-mail I write. since I do not know, where to start my search for the reason, I hope someone can help me :)16:42
SpudguyNOpe.16:42

iptableusr13_, Spudguy said he cannot ping 8.8.8.8. It means there is no internet connection. It's not DNS issue.16:49

iptableSpudguy, do you have internet connection on your router?16:49

iptableSpudguy, can you access the router's config page using the web browser, by going to 10.0.0.1 from that affected machine?16:50

iptableSpudguy, ok, first things first. on the window machine: ipconfig - tell me what the IP and GW are as well as network.16:51
GeekDudeMonkeyDust: Spudguy is the guy with the problem. He can't ping/connect to anything but his router (10.0.0.1), which I didn't know was his router until just a second ago when usr13 and iptabl explained it to me16:51
iptableSpudguy, then tell me what the details are on the linux machine (execute: "ifconfig" and "ip route ls")16:52
Spudguygateway on windows is 10.0.0.1, IP is 10.0.0.216:52

iptableusr13_, just because one can ping 10.0.0.1 doesn't mean he is on the same network. there are some terrible netmask issues one can have.16:58
iptableusr13_, it's either iptables OR IPv616:58
=== Guest27384 is now known as fallout
Spudguyusr13_: iptables -L is blank16:59
usr13_Spudguy: ifconfig16:59
iptableSpudguy, ok, so you got IP on same network. You can ping the router. Can you connect to the router's web interface using browser by going to 10.0.0.1?16:59
SpudguyYes, I can iptable16:59
iptableSpudguy, so you can connect all the way to the router, but can't reach after the router, interesting. Any VPN setup, anything like that?17:00

SpudguyNot that I'm aware of. I mean my phone and tablet connected automatically.17:00
usr13_Spudguy: Tell us what IP address the Ubuntu machine is using and what it's netmask is17:00
SpudguyBoth android btw17:00
iptableSpudguy, also, please check if you got IPv6 using ifconfig17:00
gcbirzanWhy would that matter?17:00
usr13_Spudguy: ifconfig |grep Bcast:17:01
iptablegcbirzan, IPv6? because I've seem machines stop working too many times with IPv6 - because router thinks it can do IPv6 but cannot and messes stuff up17:01
gcbirzaniptable: This doesn't matter when you try to ping IPs.17:01
iptableSpudguy, are you sure you don't have any MAC/IP filtering configured in your router? looks like some added security since you last added a new device.17:02

iptablegcbirzan, tell that to the issues I have seen. disabling IPv6 and suddenly being able to ping is things I have seen.17:03
Voyagehi17:03
gcbirzanProbably domain names.17:03
iptableSpudguy, so, iptables rules are empty, IP configuration is OK, you cannot ping 8.8.8.817:03
iptablegcbirzan, I'm not that daft...17:03
SpudguyOooh, I just saw on the router config ipv6 is ticket as enabled.17:03
Spudguyand LAN is set to stateless17:03

iptableSpudguy, what usr13_ said. does that work?17:04
gcbirzanAlso, do a traceroute -n 8.8.8.8, Spudguy17:04
SpudguyNope.17:04
usr13_Spudguy: Can you ping 212.82.102.24  or 4.2.2.2 ?17:04
SpudguyWell, 3 send 100% loss17:04
usr13_Spudguy: But you *can* ping 10.0.0.1  Right?17:04
Spudguy4.2.2.2 loss17:04
SpudguyYes17:05
MonkeyDustSpudguy  is it a wireless connection?17:05
SpudguyYes17:05
iptableSpudguy, so you can access LAN but not WAN from your machine. It's either 1. IPv6 weirdness, or 2. some kind of MAC/IP filtering you got enabled o nthe router17:05
MonkeyDustSpudguy  have you tried with cable, too?17:05
gcbirzanSpudguy: Also, try to ping 10.0.0.14 from your windows machine.17:05
usr13_Spudguy: firefox 10.0.0.1  #And look at the router's configuration menu. There must be something the router is doing to block your access.17:05
SpudguyAnd traceroute for some reason needs an apt-get, which I can't do atm17:05
iptableSpudguy, and what MonkeyDust said. try cable for troubleshooting17:06
usr13_iptable is correct17:06
MonkeyDustSpudguy  methinks you have a wifi problem, not an internet problem17:06
gcbirzanhow can...17:06
SpudguyI can ping the ubuntu from windows17:06
gcbirzanSpudguy: Also, in route -n, is the interface for the default route the correct one?17:07
iptableSpudguy, so, can you access internet on ubuntu using cable?17:07
usr13_iptable: You must be right, it's either IPv6 weirdness or (more likely)> the router is blocking him.17:07
gcbirzanSpudguy: (i.e. the same as for 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0)17:07
SpudguyI can't test cable right now. :(17:07
SpudguyI wish I could.17:07
MonkeyDustSpudguy  most probably, a cable would solve your connection problem17:08

usr13_Spudguy: Try wired connection...17:08
iptableSpudguy, silly question, have you tried turning it off and on again (both router and ubuntu)?17:08
gcbirzanSpudguy: Also, a cheap traceroute is ping -t 1 8.8.8.8, look at the IP that says TTL exceede, then use -t 2 and so on, until it stops replying17:09
SpudguyNot the router, but yes Ubuntu. I figure the router doesn't need reloading as I can get a connection17:09
iptableSpudguy, how about "the router software is so bad it has stopped routing new machines to internet"?17:10
usr13_Spudguy: Power cycle the router, I've seen unexplained problems go away after re-starting the router, (in which case, it's probably starting to give out on you and you shoul probably shop for another one).17:10
SpudguyWiFi has no MAC filter, and the security is WPA/WPA2-PSK-TKIP/AES17:10
SpudguyOkay, I'll reboot it now. Back in a few17:10
MonkeyDustSpudguy  and somehow find a cable17:11
tmmunq"the router software is so bad it has stopped routing new machines to internet" if you get this a lot, its time to get a router that can handle your network17:11
iptableusr13_, I wouldn't blame the ubuntu box. it looks like 100% an issue with the router. I mean, ubuntu can connect to the router no problem.17:11
iptableSpudguy, uhm, question, can you ping 8.8.8.8 from the windows machine?17:11
iptableSpudguy, your router might be blocking internet pings...17:12

usr13_iptable: Also a possibility17:13
iptableGeekDude, https://www.google.co.uk/#q=icmp+flood17:13

gcbirzanwelcome to the 90s?17:14
spudguyBack. No change.17:14
iptableusr13_, in case I'm not here, he can try accessing the browser once his router reboots: http://213.123.191.234 - should say "Access Denied". If it does, it IS a DNS issue17:14
GeekDudespudguy: What's your router's model?17:14

someone_I'm trying to get collectd set up to collect some stats from computers on my home network, and have run into a snag with the version in the repo, it's old. Mostly this isn't a big deal except that it seams that newer versions can't talk to it. If I build it from source, I lose all the init scripts and things end up all over the place. Is there an easy way to drop in a newer version but keep the structure of the repo package?18:01

venzenhi people, i'm probably the 100th person to ask but is there any update on the gnuTLS vulnerability...18:05
SpudguyYup. I reset the router to factory, logged in via the Windows, reconfigured the SSID and Password to exactly as they were and then came back to my laptop and tried to load google.com18:05

lmatonefox: check /var/log :)  and dmesg ?18:35
jwashwill that mess up my live cd?18:35

SpudguyOh wow18:37
SpudguyCtrl D. Sick.18:37
Spudguy:D18:37
onefoxlmat yes i the first place,  the big picture problem is that i have software who can only give me serial and raw output but the usb driver don't except this ... i can't print link echo "test" > /dev/usb/lp018:37
xdgfedrghi, please can anyone confirm, that this link works? http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent download does not start to me, so i need to confirm its a problem on my end of the line18:37
SpudguyYeah, just learned about Unity bookmarks. Now I just wish I was getting more than 160kbs on my transfers haha18:37
lmatonefox: Do you have any way to print to the printer ? (lpr?)18:37
SpudguyI think that's a server issue though, it's always slow in the US but great in the UK.18:37
lmatonefox: Oh, I don't think you're supposed to be able to do that!18:38
lmatonefox: You need to    lpr -P printername  (I don't know the format of printername, perhaps /dev/usb/lp0 would work ?)18:38
onefoxlmat i can print with lpr -p NAME FILE18:38

lmatonefox: OOOOHHH....18:40
onefoxlmat so i cant decide where the software stream goes but it has to go to lpr i think ...18:40
lmatonefox: So, what if you put a symlink at /dev/usb/lp0 ? (don't try it yet!)18:40
lmatonefox: Could you convince the software to go to /dev/usb/lp1 ? ^_^18:41
onefoxlmat my first try would it be to caputre the output from the software in a file and than print that file with lpr18:41
onefoxlmat sure18:41
lmatonefox: I'm guessing the software expects a device file to be there. Even if you18:41
lmatonefox: Yeah, that's probably the right way to go ^_^ Okay, back to where you started.18:41
lmatonefox: So, you need to put a PDF printer at  /dev/usb/lp018:42
onefoxlmat on dev usb lp0 is the real printer ^ i have /dev/usb where i can send the raw data from the software to18:42
lmatonefox: So if we were to install a pdf printer to  /dev/usb/lp1, this would take care of you ?18:43
onefoxlmat dev/usb/lp1 is free i mean lp0 is the printer18:43
dgarstangIs there a way I can get a subset of archive.ubuntu.com... just enough for debootstrap without downloading 10 billion gigs of stuff first?18:43

onefoxlmat let me google ;)18:43
lmatonefox: I'm looking, too ^_^18:44

mao2bekks: does LVM work if one disk is already in use? It's a home media server, and I want to extend the space18:54
bekksn0x_42: There is a , missing after acl18:54
bekksmao2: LVM only works for that usecase if you are already using LVM.18:54
bekksn0x_42: The guid told you to add "acl" to the options, not to add "defaults,acl " before errors=remount-ro18:55
Ontologicalmao2: You need to de-activate LVM before adding a PV to it.18:55
mao2bekks: I'm already using LVM for full disk encryption (per the install disk). I should be able to "extend" the LVM to the new disk?18:56
Ontologicalmao2: Using the recovery boot option is handy for this, as it shouldn't mount your LVMs18:56
bekksmao2: I never dealt with encrypted LVM, sorry.18:56
n0x_42Ok, the example was throwing me off, thanks.18:56
Ontologicalmao2: Yes, that's the point, but not necessarily while the LVM is live.  Have you seen system-config-lvm package?18:56
Ontologicalmao2: But, might I recommend you have to LVM's?  One for your system and a separate one for data18:57
OntologicalThat way, you can easily modify the media LVM by simply unmounting all of the volumes18:57
Ontologicalyou have two LVMs*18:57
=== vnazarenko is now known as codeberry
Ontologicallvm_system w. lvm_system_crypt and lvm_media with lvm_media_crypt.  make sense, mao2 ?18:58
Ontologicalmao2: I recommend the splitting of your LVMs.  It will allow you to use system-config-lvm, which will really make LVM easier for you.18:59
mao2Ontological: So resizing the one LVM, and then putting the other half of this disk (with the data) on the new LVM?18:59
=== marlinc_ is now known as Marlinc
OntologicalIf the remaining data is large enough to make it worthwhile, yes.  Otherwise, It'd probably best to keep that one drive entirely your system drive.  I say this because in the future, you can then remove the media lvm hdds with much ease, but you might not need that capability.19:00

Ontologicalgmachine_24: /home/USERNAME is encrypted recursively for the USERNAME, yes.19:02
mao2Ontological: Hm, good point. So I should create a new LVM on the new PV, and then rsync over the data from LVM1 to LVM219:02

Voyageis it possible to make my /home encrypted and other sudoers cant get into it. BUT the applications can (like apache and other s. e.g apache may want to look for web pages in my /home)19:03

mao2Ontological: does dd work at the file level? I only want to move some of the LVM19:03

gcbirzanKeanu73: I just did. You add init=/bin/bash to your kernel command line, and it should let you in19:23
Keanu73erm19:24
bekksgcbirzan: Damn infidel. Ubuntu isnt using the metric system, but it is using 1024 units. Check yourself with stat filename and bc.19:24
Keanu73but what's the boot key to access the boot menu?19:24
Keanu73and where is the kernel command line19:24
gcbirzanbekks: stat is using bytes, so no idea what you're talking about. Also, MB is, by definition, 1000*1000 bytes, regardless of what Ubuntu might think.19:25
Gotoleiis there a reason certain processes refuse to be started as jobs?  gedit &  detaches from the terminal properly, but  mousepad &  doesn't19:25

16WAAZAXX Hello, I'm having a problem with my fingerprint-reader on Ubuntu 13.10. The device is a 138a:0005 using vfs301. Both fprint_demo and fingerprint-gui claims that this device is supported, but it appears that they only can read my fingerprint one time during the enroll process. It doesn't matter how many times I swipe my finger, I can't pass step 2. Someone please can point me out one direction or any tips?19:54

adamcunningtonPici: this command; [Device] [Mount Point] [File System Type] [Options]?20:33
Bashing-omadamcunnington: Best practice is not to use spaces to start with, else /040 (??) to deal with the space. In linux a space is a delimeter.20:34

Bashing-omadamcunnington: yeah - to best I recall, there are other menas to deal with the spaces, however.20:35

Piciadamcunnington: it is normal to put it into /media/ usr13_ has his own preferences.20:46
sudormrfwhat Pici said20:46
usr13_/home/adamcunnington  (where adamcunnington is really your user name and the name of your directory in /home/20:47
OerHeksavoid mounting in /dev/urandom/20:47
adamcunningtonPici: ok i'll leave it in media20:47
adamcunningtonso to mount it, the first argument to the command is the filesystem, how do i know what that is?20:47
wafflejockadamcunnington: fstab is just a file that just helps to "automate" the process of doing the mount too just FYI so it's helpful if you want the config to stick20:47
adamcunningtonwafflejock: well i think that is my end goal, so can i just add a line to that?20:48
wafflejockadamcunnington: fdisk -l I believe20:48
usr13_Pici: I shouldn't have said anything.  I'm sorry.  I guess I complicated the heck out of things.  But in the long run, he may learn a bit more from it.20:48

wafflejockadamcunnington: well there is a bit of complication in the fstab files too now, you can either specify with a device name like /dev/sda2 or you can specify with a UUID or block id, which you can get like blkid /dev/sda220:53
wafflejockeverything above is good though20:54
sudormrfadamcunnington: you shouldn't need to install it20:54
sudormrfadamcunnington: if you don't have a floppy drive you can comment out that line.20:54
adamcunningtonsudormrf: says i need to20:54
c_smithadamcunnington, /dev/seagate wouldn't actually appear in UNIX and UNIX-like systems, they're all names like /dev/sdxZ or /dev/sr0, /dev/cd0 /dev/loop0, etc20:54
adamcunningtonthis is complex! will get my head around it soon hopefully20:54
sudormrfadamcunnington: which version of ubuntu is this?20:54
adamcunnington12.0420:54
sudormrfadamcunnington: this is how we learn20:54
sudormrfdon't get discouraged20:54
adamcunningtonok so just to recap my understanding, etc/fstab contains information about where stuff mounts, this is auto #-populated whenever you connect a new periphery / boot thing?20:55
sudormrfAFAIK pastebinit should be included in 12.04, but if it isn't just install it20:55
c_smithadamcunnington, the device names starts making more sense the more you work with them. :)20:55
wafflejockyeah mounting is a bit confusing on first go20:55
adamcunningtonwill my seagate expansion drive definitely be in that file, in which case i can just modify it or will i need to add it?20:55
sudormrfalso, take a look at that link I provided, that should help you.20:55
adamcunningtonsudormrf: helped a bit - trouble is when you're new, the docs are detailed but not aimed at people who are knew, they presuppose understanding20:56
sudormrfadamcunnington: unless you added the seagate drive to the fstab yourself it won't show up in there.20:56
c_smithadamcunnington, it'll be in a special device file that you need to mount.20:56
adamcunningtonat least a certain level which i'm on the borderline of so i mostly find these docs unhelpful at this stage but i know with time, it'll come20:56
adamcunningtonsudormrf: ok so do i need to find out exactly what it is called first?20:56
sudormrfadamcunnington: type df in a terminal window20:56
adamcunningtonhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7040623/20:57
sudormrfadamcunnington: or sudo fdisk -l20:57
adamcunningtonsudo fdisk -l was far too verbose, df seems nice ;)20:57
usr13_adamcunnington: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit   #and send URL20:57
sudormrfadamcunnington: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l.  it doesn't look like your drive is connected right now, but just to be sure.20:58
adamcunningtoni don't think df listed it20:58
adamcunningtondf only lists mounted stuff perhaps?20:58
wafflejockyup20:58
wafflejockdisk usage20:58
wafflejockonly shows stuff mounted I believe20:58
sudormrfwafflejock: forgot he unmounted :O20:58
adamcunningtonwhat pastebinit command?20:58
wafflejockthe man command is your friend here too :) I couldn't remember what df was for the life of me20:59
adamcunningtonjust pastebinit on it's own? will that output whole terminal? i shall clear first20:59
adamcunningtonoh yea, keep forgetting about man20:59
sudormrfadamcunnington: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit   #and send URL20:59
adamcunningtontaking ages20:59

adamcunningtonwait, important that |pastebinit at end?21:00
sudormrfyes21:00

adamcunningtonhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7040636/ is output of disk21:01

adamcunningtonsudormrf: you mean set to mount there? it's not mounted right now21:04
usr13_sudormrf: That's not a mount point, it's a device name.21:04

adamcunningtonis the number after not significant??21:05

adamcunningtonbecause it says /dev/sdfa121:05
adamcunningtonsdf1*21:05
usr13_/dev/sdf1  Yes21:05
sudormrfadamcunnington: the number indicates a partition number.21:05
usr13_adamcunnington: So you should mount it again and run blkid21:06
adamcunningtonusr13_: what does that do? why can't i just set the mount point?21:06
usr13_(I think it has to be mounted, wait, maybe not)21:06
sudormrfmay need sudo for blkid21:06
bekksYou dont need to mount it for running sudo blkid21:06

adamcunningtonwhat does it do?21:06
sudormrfusr13_: sudo blkid21:06

sudormrfadamcunnington: it lists UUIDs and device names21:07
adamcunningtonah cool21:07

sudormrfdon't just do this stuff because we ask you.  examine the output as well.  it can only help you to learn :)21:07
adamcunningtonah that output is useful21:07
sudormrfok so the goal here is to mount this on the computer automatically?21:08

mk2markHi guys21:17
mk2markI'm trying to turn off frequency scaling on ubuntu21:17
bekksadamcunnington: ntfs-3g is a userland application that enables read/write access onto a NTFS filesystem.21:17
sudormrfadamcunnington: you can if you want.  in the case of USB devices I am not sure if it is any better than using /dev/sdf1.  It wouldn't hurt though.  if you want to use the UUID instead, replace /dev/sdf1 with UUID= and the UUID of your device.21:18
adamcunningtonsudormrf: ok thanks, will leave as /dev/sdf1 more readable21:19

adacMy new samsung printer has been detected via network. I added the printer but when I want to print then at the first momennt it seems that the printer has been contacted, but nothing is printed out. How can I debug this?22:12
Jordan_Uadamcunnington: What OS is on the host, and what OS is in the guest?22:14
sudormrfadamcunnington: NAT? Bridged? Host only? is the VM on the same machine as the host?22:15
tgm4883NEone, the version of PHP in 12.04 is 5.3. That means you will get fixes for it (which I'm assuming is stuff inside 5.3.x). You won't see a minor version upgrade until the next ubuntu release. IIRC, This is because minor versions of PHP have a tendency to have incompatibilities with stuff written against other versions22:15
tdannecyadac: Are you able to send a test print?22:15
NEonetgm4883: Can - and should I - upgrade php manually?22:16
tgm4883NEone, why would you want to do that?22:16
adactdannecy, nope. it says "job submitted as job id 120" and the printer seems to get a signal, but nothing gets printed out actually. I can also see no jobs on the printer queue22:17
NEoneI use that Ubuntu as a webserver and the developer is using a IDE and a framework which is optimized for code in php 5.422:17
Bashing-omNEone: I am not on 12.04 ATT, so can not confirm the version. Generally versions are frozen within a relesse to preserve stability. One Might upgrade an app through a PPA - for an experienced user as might cause breakage of your system.22:17
adamcunningtonJordan_U: ubuntu 12.04 host, win7 guest22:17
adamcunningtonsudormrf: not sure what the first 3 questions mean but yes the vm is on the same machine22:18
tgm4883NEone, personally, if it works on 5.3 then I would leave the OS at that.22:18
tdannecyadac: Pull up http://localhost:631/ in your browser and try to config the printer from there. Also, printers are notorious for being difficult. I'd suggest restarting that printer a few times for good luck.22:18

mark4seems debian distributions do not ship with PAX patched kernels. does ubuntu?22:29
tgm4883adamcunnington, ok, that part looks good, were you able to switch the network to "Bridged Adapter"?22:29
adamcunningtontgm4883: yea i see it now, it's under network22:29

tgm4883adamcunnington, awesome22:29
adamcunningtonthanks very much22:29

tgm4883sudormrf, well I guess that settles it, VirtualBox isn't that smart22:30

adamcunningtontgm4883: is bridged network the right / fastest one then?22:30
jiomihello everyone, which tool is the best/most reliable to delete metadata from photos before uploading?22:30
adamcunningtonno way of me taking advantage of the fact that it's on the same machine so avoiding an internet network altogether22:30
mark4guess nobody here understands the question.. or doesnt know the answer ?22:30
tgm4883adamcunnington, "bridged adapter" basically makes it look like another machine on your network. eg. it will get it's IP address from your router/dhcp server22:30
tgm4883adamcunnington, it doesn't look like it if you want to use the shared folders feature22:31
adamcunningtontgm4883: ok - tbh i didn't chec under networks when it was connected via NAT before, shouldi revert and test it?22:31
tgm4883mark4, whats a pax patched kernel?  /me goes to google22:31

jiomihello everyone, which tool is the best/most reliable to delete metadata from photos before uploading?22:34
mark4PaX is a patch for the Linux kernel that implements least privilege protections for memory pages.22:34
sudormrftgm4883: heh.22:35

ubottujiomi: 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.22:36
jiomitdannecy, no poll is intended here. it was just a matter of saying. my preference is just reliability.22:37
jiomiI mentioned that I wanted to upload, and I dont want the accompanying metadata to be uploaded with the picture.22:38

sjmikemWhy does alt-tab sometimes not switch applications like it's supposed to?22:39
sjmikeme.g. sometimes I alt-tab to terminal but terminal doesn't come to foreground22:39
unicornjedijiomi, you could use gimp and edit the metadata there22:40
tdannecyjiomi: If you want to remove metadata from files, you should use a command line application called "exiftool". You can install it by running "sudo apt-get install libimage-exiftool-perl"22:40
jiomitdannecy, I found a tool named exiv222:40
tdannecyjiomi: Then, you can use exiftool by navigating to the directory and running "exiftool -all= *.jpg"22:41

aMonikerIs there a way to force mv to overwrite a directory instead of copying contents into it?22:41
aMonikeri.e. mv dir1 dir2 - I want dir1 to replace dir2, not be copied to dir2/dir122:41
aMonikers/copied/moved/22:41
Jordan_UaMoniker: mv doing an implicit rm -r sounds dangerous and wrong. Would it be enough for mv to warn you when the destination already exists and is a directory?22:42
aMonikerJordan_U: No. I want the implicit rm -r22:42
aMonikerit does this for files22:43
Jordan_UaMoniker: Why? What is your end goal? Would you be OK with creating your own command of a different name that does this?22:43

tdannecyjiomi: Yes. It should remove metadata from all jpg images within that directory.22:45
jiomiwhat if I want to remove it from a particular file?22:45
tdannecyadac: Which printer driver do you have installed for that printer?22:45

jiomitdannecy, thank you very much"22:47
jiomi!22:47
tdannecyadac: Np22:47
tdannecyadac: You should change the printer drive by opening the printer settings, right clicking and going to properties, and selecting the "postscript-samsung" printer driver.22:48
Jordan_UaMoniker: There is only --no-target-directory, and that requires the target directory to be either non-existant or empty.22:48
tdannecyadac: It might be easier to remove the printer and add it again with the correct driver.22:48
aMonikerJordan_U: ok, I'll just mv the target, mv the replacement, and rm the old target22:48

ianananananwhat exactly happens when i mptcp -r?22:50
adactdannecy, can this be done also via cups webinterface?22:50
tdannecyjiomi: You should be able to by just switching the file name. It should be automatic with that extension. You can also run "man exiftool" to get the full arguments. Also check here to see the complete metadata tags in png files: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/PNG.html22:51
stunts513anybody know why the "disable touchpad while typing" option wouldnt be working when checked off?22:51
jiomitdannecy, i tried with a png file, and the response was "no file specified", then I saved it as "jpeg", and it gave the same error.22:51
tdannecyadac: You should be able to. I can't walk you through the specifics (because I don't have a printer installed on this unit), but the options should be relatively the same. You're looking to switch the drivers to "postscript-samsung" and you should be good to go.22:52
