| mobilemeyhem | Dell inspiron 2200 | 00:00 |
| FourFire | my laptop can't burn DVDs, so that's out of the question | 00:00 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: If you can partition your internal drive and move information to the partition, you could install the 64 bit over the 32 bit... | 00:00 |
| FourFire | alright | 00:01 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: model number is pp10s | 00:01 |
| FourFire | I could do that with Gparted | 00:01 |
| b1g3m | ^ | 00:01 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: Dell inspiron 2200 if you didn't catch that | 00:01 |
| b1g3m | mobilemeyhem: Give me a few minutes. Let me see if I can dig anything up. Did you install updates, etc? | 00:01 |
| FourFire | I'm clueless as to how to install a dual boot though (pretty clueless on most linux things, I just know that Magic is possible and most linux users are "wizzards" | 00:02 |
| FourFire | I'll google it | 00:02 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: completely. And I tried a few different tutorials on the forums | 00:02 |
| rocks | is there any good client for linux that can make me access ICQ? I tried licq and registered but it won't connect to any chat group. Empathy's ICQ feature is broken and won't connect as experienced by others on various forums also | 00:02 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: When you go to install the new version, it will ask you if you want to install beside... But if you partition first, you can select that partition. | 00:03 |
| Ritzton | I am sorry I do have this problem https://github.com/jfryman/puppet-nginx/issues/71 but I don't understand the solution | 00:03 |
| FourFire | alright | 00:03 |
| b1g3m | rocks: Empathy is great! | 00:03 |
| rocks | yes but it refuses to connect to icq | 00:04 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, and if I want to move data, I can most likely move my userdata as files to the external drive and thus shrink my current partition, allowing me to initially make my 64Bit partition larger from the start | 00:04 |
| b1g3m | rocks: Works for me. Try resetting your password. That's what I had to do. | 00:04 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: That is correct. | 00:04 |
| rocks | hmm. if it works for you then... i'l try resetting settings | 00:05 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, though I'm confused as to how I install my exact set of programs and utilities into the new OS | 00:05 |
| FourFire | do I just migrate everything outside /Home into the new OS? | 00:06 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: You won't be able to get an exact replica because you aren't using the native backup... :( | 00:06 |
| bonafide | How do I pair a Wiimote as a raw HID device? | 00:06 |
| b1g3m | mobilemeyhem: You still around? | 00:06 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, right, but I can make a text file with a machine readable list of all programs have installed, and usea script to automatically redownload and install them in the new OS right? | 00:07 |
| FourFire | How do I do that? | 00:07 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: What version of ubuntu? | 00:07 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: yes | 00:07 |
| FourFire | 12.04 | 00:08 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, I have one possibility though | 00:08 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-copy-file-command/ | 00:09 |
| FourFire | should I try to dual boot with the 64 Bit beta of 14.04? | 00:09 |
| b1g3m | mobilemeyhem: Are you duel booted or all lubuntu? | 00:09 |
| FourFire | can I *upgrade* beta 14.04 into full version later? | 00:09 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: no sir | 00:09 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: Yes. But I wouldn't use a beta in the process... | 00:10 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, is there a stableish version now? | 00:10 |
| FourFire | I read that feature freeze has happened | 00:10 |
| kingc0der | whats up everyone | 00:11 |
| kingc0der | :) | 00:11 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: 12.04 IMO would be your best bet. | 00:11 |
| FourFire | ok, thanks | 00:11 |
| b1g3m | mobilemeyhem: When you plug the adapter in, does anything happen? | 00:11 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: I'll give that a go | 00:12 |

| b1g3m | Hello kingc0der! | 00:13 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: nothing happens when it's plugged in. It's recognized by ndis though | 00:13 |

| FourFire | ok, crap, I want to be *really' careful using Gparted because last time I carelessly deleted an SDcard and had to waste a lot of time trying to get back important files | 00:16 |
| FourFire | so, I just deleted the largest partition on that old HDD which is connected with a USB-SATA adapter | 00:17 |
| basil | I did edit the original file in etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d | 00:17 |
| FourFire | what filesystem should I put on it to contain my /Home Directory? | 00:17 |
| Jikan | Hi guys! Let's say I've 6 programs connected to a remote server via SSH. Then, I run netstat or nethogs and it returns a list of PIDs of the programs currently using SSH. Is there a way to retrieve the program name of a given PID? | 00:17 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, ext4 is fine right? | 00:18 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: Yes, sorry was afk... | 00:18 |
| FourFire | or, what is the best filesystem for fast copying of writes? | 00:18 |
| basil | jikan - does ps -aux give you enough info | 00:19 |
| FourFire | like, high write throughput? | 00:19 |
| mobilemeyhem | b1g3m: thank you for your help. This tutorial looks very similar to what I've done. My issue has to do with losing the driver into memory via modprobe. I'll keep looking | 00:19 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: ext4 will be the fastest. | 00:19 |
| mobilemeyhem | Loading* | 00:19 |
| FourFire | ok | 00:19 |
| rocks | in LICQ does it auto connect after setting up user or do I have to do something special? | 00:19 |
| rocks | Empathy is still not working for me | 00:20 |
| rocks | licq has such a confusing inteerface | 00:20 |
| meLon | I need to know an application which I can install that will allow me to launch it and with it select another window/application and determine said window's properties (Class, Name, etc). Any suggestions? | 00:20 |
| FourFire | ok, will recreating a new partition filesystem take a long time? | 00:20 |
| FourFire | nope, 21 seconds :D | 00:21 |
| Jikan | basil: … OK, I'm dumb. I was trying a bunch of complicated ways and didn't even think of ps -_-. I feel really dumb now, but thank you ≧益≦ | 00:21 |

| FourFire | is there some way I can allow the new 'Data' partition I just made to be written to without booting as that drive? | 00:23 |
| b1g3m | FourFire: Yes, but I forget the command. Give me a second. | 00:24 |

| jakesyl1 | Hey guys, I have a question about ubuntu, so when i set it up from a usb how do i make it install to my hdd instead of flash drive | 00:30 |
| Arsin | Hey this isn't a Windows problem as I've found it in Linux too, but I was wondering if someone can help me. I've loaded fail-safe defaults on BIOS and I experience what seems like a momentary intterupt even when it's not at 100%. The interrupts don't even cause a spike in CPU usage. This interrupt I primarly notice when I listen to music, it happens randomly to my eyes | 00:31 |
| Arsin | I've also MEMTESTed, with no errors | 00:31 |
| Beldar | jakesyl1, what does "set it up from a usb" mean? | 00:31 |
| jakesyl1 | I have a bootable usb i installed using unetbootin | 00:32 |
| basil | So each time I reboot I have to delete resolv.conf and rewrite it. There must a be a way to prevent the system re-writing it? | 00:32 |
| Beldar | jakesyl1, Boots to the desktop and you see a install icon? | 00:32 |
| jakesyl1 | yes | 00:32 |
| jakesyl1 | should i ./ the installer | 00:33 |
| Beldar | jakesyl1, Cool, you have a unallocated space for ubuntu? Are there any other OS, if so what exactly? | 00:33 |
| jakesyl1 | windows 8 developer | 00:33 |
| Beldar | jakesyl1, This uefi and if so are you familiar in a install? | 00:33 |
| jakesyl1 | yes when i installed windows 8 do you think it allocated all the space for windows 8? | 00:33 |
| bonafide | How do I pair a Wiimote as a raw HID device? | 00:34 |
| jakesyl1 | not at all | 00:34 |
| jakesyl1 | oh so it connects firmware with the os | 00:35 |
| mobilemeyhem | bonafide: in ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| DarkAceXtreme | does 'make' automatically translate to 'make all'? | 00:35 |

| sudormrf | hey guys. is anyone around that can help me out with a script I am writing? I am trying to have something check iptables periodically, have it write the ip addresses to a file, compare that file to the previous file and only write the differences to the hosts.deny. I am working on the differences part right now and I am stuck. | 00:36 |
| Jordan_U | jakesyl1: You boot the USB drive on the computer you want to install to, and at boot you will be given an option to install Ubuntu. | 00:36 |
| jakesyl1 | it says unrecoverable error, then goes to dtop where i can install xubuntu, it didnt always do this just after the first timei tried should i resert usb first | 00:37 |
| sudormrf | I am thinking about using diff to get the output I need, but then it adds a > to the start of the line. if I can remove that > I think I can get this working | 00:37 |

| sudormrf | Jordan_U: that didn't work | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | sudormrf: Did you sort the two files using sort first? | 00:39 |
| sudormrf | Jordan_U: I tried sort filename | uniq -u and it isn't working | 00:39 |
| sudormrf | Jordan_U: when I do that none of the IP addresses show | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | sudormrf: That command clearly only acts on one file. | 00:40 |
| sudormrf | Jordan_U: right. however in that one file there ARE duplicates and when I use that command it doesn't work. | 00:40 |
| sudormrf | so I am looking for alternatives | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | sudormrf: Are there non-duplicates? That's what sort -u will print. | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | sudormrf: Sorry, what uniq -u will print. | 00:41 |
| sudormrf | Jordan_U: there are. the other problem with this is that I want to have this happen after a certain line number in the file. not sure if sort is going to be up to snuff | 00:42 |
| sudormrf | Jordan_U: but I could be wrong about that | 00:42 |
| coreire | I just moved files off an NTFS formatted drive, reformatted to EXT4 and tried to moves the files back and it says I'm about 60 gigs short on space. Am I doing something wrong? | 00:42 |
| jnoob22 | sed if you're looking for manipulating files in certain line numbers. Forgive if I missed the main point. | 00:42 |
| sudormrf | jnoob22: I was thinking of using sed, but I don't know if it will do what I am trying to do. basically I want to compare two files and look for differences after a specific line number. I then want those differences >> to a file. | 00:43 |
| Jordan_U | sudormrf: Please pastebin an example file containing at least one unique line, for which "sort filename | uniq -u" produces no output. | 00:44 |
| jnoob22 | hmm if it's after a specific line number you can do a tail | 00:44 |
| jnoob22 | hmm but that's a known amount of line numbers *after* the line you want. | 00:44 |
| FourFire | b1g3m, you still there? | 00:46 |
| sudormrf | Jordan_U: I was wrong. I was expecting something else from the output but it is only showing the differences, you are correct. However how can I have it only do this after a certain line number? | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | sudormrf: "tail -n +LineNumber" on the original file, then work from there. | 00:48 |

| schultza | with those logs, look for errors or unauthroized or similiar. whats going on with your computer that makes you think it's hacked? | 01:31 |
| netameta__ | well, wordpress doing crazy weird stuff | 01:32 |
| netameta__ | its so wierd.. | 01:32 |
| netameta__ | i have 2 servers | 01:33 |
| netameta__ | i basically took the entier code and ren it on the other server | 01:33 |
| netameta__ | No problems | 01:33 |
| netameta__ | at all | 01:33 |
| schultza | wordpress is based on php. Have you talked in the #php channel? | 01:33 |
| schultza | what problems did the one have? | 01:33 |
| netameta__ | i dont know how familiar you are with php or WP so i wont bother you with that, however what' is the php channel ? | 01:34 |
| schultza | netameta__: /join #php | 01:35 |
| schultza | netameta__: it is another irc chat channel on this server. | 01:35 |
| schultza | specific topic on php programming | 01:35 |
| netameta__ | Cannot join #php (channel is invite only) | 01:35 |
| schultza | not sure if there is a wordpress channel or not though | 01:35 |
| schultza | netameta__: have you registered your nick with the irc server? (nickserv) | 01:36 |
| netameta__ | Probably not | 01:36 |
| schultza | netameta__: that is what is stopping you from joining #php. | 01:36 |
| netameta__ | did know i have to | 01:36 |
| schultza | what problem did WP have one the one server that did not happen on the other server? | 01:37 |
| netameta__ | schultza, can i describe a how i set up my server tell me if thats normal or at least accepted | 01:37 |
| netameta__ | The error was : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /var/www/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx on line 200 however its a weird issue. | 01:38 |
| schultza | netameta__: Unfortunately, I do not know WP all that well. I can hope to send you in the right direction. First, have you made a copy and tried reinstalling it on the current server? | 01:39 |
| schultza | php syntax error i'd imagine. | 01:39 |
| schultza | one the php files or configuration files has a syntax error. often overlooked. some lines have to end with a ";" | 01:40 |
| schultza | I'm assuming it didnt just give a ton of X's for the file name? | 01:40 |
| netameta__ | About the server thought:, i installed a normal ubuntu 13 on EC2 instance, optned ports 9000,8000, 80,22. then i configured nginx to rune multi site, then create /var/www and made its owner www-data , configured php5-fpm, then create a little script that will sync files into /var/www/... from /home/ubunutu/public_html/ | 01:42 |
| netameta__ | do you think that could be some what unsecure ? | 01:42 |
| sudormrf | I am working on a script that will compare two files after a certain line number and only show me the differences. if anyone can help out I would appreciate it! | 01:43 |
| schultza | is public html secure? | 01:43 |
| netameta__ | nope | 01:43 |
| netameta__ | well.. | 01:43 |
| netameta__ | i dont know | 01:43 |
| netameta__ | how can i know if its secure ? | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | netameta__: just curious, why ubuntu 13.10? I'd highly recommend LTS releases for servers | 01:45 |
| netameta__ | no idea i am a beginner i was sure it was ok | 01:45 |
| sudormrf | Ben64: any chance you can help me figure out this script? | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | sudormrf: if its bash, you should head over to #bash | 01:46 |
| sudormrf | Ben64: thanks! | 01:46 |
| netameta__ | ben64, i dont think its the issue between the servers as the second one also on 13 | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | netameta__: well, when you upgrade to 14.04, which you have to by july or lose security updates, keep on that until 16.04 :) | 01:47 |
| Ben64 | netameta__: oh yeah, i know thats not related to the issue, just giving you pointers for servering | 01:47 |
| netameta__ | what you mean keep on that until 16.04 ? | 01:47 |
| OerHeks | netameta__, are you sure you have the latest wordpress and more important latest plugins? | 01:47 |
| schultza | a lot of server guys would recommend debian stable for a server. | 01:47 |
| schultza | dont upgrade for every release of ubuntu.. just every LTS release | 01:48 |
| netameta__ | latest Wp, no plugins at all, just the one i am working on | 01:48 |
| schultza | this is not about wordpress | 01:48 |
| schultza | this is about ubuntu on the versioning | 01:48 |
| Ben64 | netameta__: lts releases come out every two years.... 8.04, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04, 16.04, you can upgrade directly from one to the next, skipping 3 releases | 01:48 |
| schultza | ubuntu's LTS is designed for server use. | 01:48 |
| OerHeks | schultza, >> <netameta__> well, wordpress doing crazy weird stuff | 01:48 |
| netameta__ | so you guys recomand going back to 12. LTS ? | 01:49 |
| Ben64 | they also receive security updates for 5 years, starting with 12.04, as opposed to the 9 months with non-lts | 01:49 |
| schultza | no | 01:49 |
| schultza | wait until the 14.04 release | 01:49 |
| Ben64 | netameta__: nah, just be sure to upgrade to 14.04 before july | 01:49 |
| netameta__ | i dont really know how to upgrade yet, i will learn by then i guess | 01:49 |
| Ben64 | come back in here sometime between april and july :) | 01:50 |
| netameta__ | Schultza about my public_html folder when i stat it, i get : | 01:50 |
| netameta__ | Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 1000/ ubuntu) Gid: ( 1000/ ubuntu) | 01:50 |
| Ben64 | as for your wordpress issue, there is a #wordpress channel, might be better suited for your main question | 01:50 |
| netameta__ | or that's not enough to tell you if its secure | 01:50 |
| schultza | netameta__: try making a copy of your wordpress install directory and re-install it in a new fresh directory | 01:50 |
| schultza | netameta__: thats fine.. you need RX permissions for public | 01:50 |
| schultza | thats the last two r-x | 01:51 |
| welllastchance | When you install extra packages as part of a preseed file, where do you put the packages on the iso? can't find documentation of this anywhere | 01:51 |
| netameta__ | so the above is ok | 01:51 |
| schultza | yes | 01:51 |
| schultza | have you compared your working wp with your non-working wp install? | 01:52 |
| netameta__ | schultza thanks , then the wp issue is not some freaking hacking, its something i changed i guess. | 01:52 |
| netameta__ | yea most of it, | 01:52 |
| schultza | i think so | 01:52 |
| netameta__ | i will retrace then | 01:53 |
| advx_ | hi all, good morning | 01:53 |
| netameta__ | bah.. that's wierd been programming for 2 years now, never had an issue like that before | 01:53 |

| JordanJ2 | I am doing it over sftp now. | 03:06 |
| Genome36_ | https://filezilla-project.org | 03:06 |
| JordanJ2 | It's just taking way to long for a 1 gig file | 03:06 |
| Genome36_ | sure it does use sftp (sftp is a file transfer protocol over ssh) | 03:07 |
| pancakes9 | if i start a new ubuntu installation everything is owned by root:root and if i add a new user, let's say john, that user john always has to use sudo to do stuff, what's the best way to approach this problem without chown and chmod everything | 03:07 |
| JordanJ2 | I am. | 03:07 |
| JordanJ2 | It's taken 5 hours so far | 03:07 |
| Genome36_ | first entry on top is the ip address then second i the username third is the password finally the fourth is the port number then press enter on the keyboard to connect | 03:08 |
| JordanJ2 | Using sftp provided by the Putty team | 03:08 |
| Genome36_ | jordanj2 forget putty use filezilla | 03:08 |
| JordanJ2 | Ok | 03:08 |
| Genome36_ | https://filezilla-project.org | 03:08 |
| Genome36_ | its easier | 03:09 |
| pancakes9 | is there anyway to setup the ubuntu instance to deal with everything being owned by root:root? i don't always to use root but i don't always wanna type sudo either | 03:09 |
| Genome36_ | jordanj2 i use it since i manage my own lamp server and sometimes need to transfer files to it or from it | 03:09 |

| netameta__ | well.. i dont have access to the actual server those are 2 amazon ec2 accounts i want to transfer between | 03:15 |
| Genome36_ | netameta__: you use an existing install to create a live from it (without disturbing the computer hdd itself) | 03:15 |
| Genome36_ | netameta__: file transfer ? | 03:15 |

| Genome36_ | pancakes9: sure just trying to find a script for you | 03:19 |

| cfhowlett | !kernel|Caelum, | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Caelum,: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 04:06 |

| seronis | "find . -exec touch -t 200001010000 {} +" when i use that in a bash script it always leaves exactly one file with a date unmodified (the most recently created file). is there a reason for this ? | 04:09 |

| Radon_3 | ok, so hello every one, I hope you are all ok and having a good time. a few days back I installed Ubuntu on my hard disk, on another partition, on the first partition, I have windows 7 running, the problem is that I was stupid enough to install the grub loader on the exact freaking partition as Ubuntu itself, the I couldn't get to grub. I used Easy | 04:13 |
| Radon_3 | BCD and added an Ubuntu option to the boot menu of windows 7, now I am happy that grub shows up. there is one tiny problem though, for some unknown reasons grub still thinks that the kernel is in (hd0,0) or (hd0,1) and goes 'try'ing to load from there but it cannot, cause as I investigated it should be loading from (hd0,5) how can I fix this? | 04:13 |
| Stirner | I can't... I don't have moka theme | 04:13 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: use the install disk to chroot into your install and run install-grub again with the right partition | 04:14 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: you'll need to mount /proc /sys and /dev after you chroot | 04:14 |
| slipttees | hi guys | 04:15 |
| Radon_3 | Caelum: can you give me a step by step tutorial somewhere how I should do that? | 04:16 |
| Radon_3 | slipttees: morning | 04:16 |
| Stirner | I installed gnome tweak tool... but I check at "themes" and It supposes that I have to see it... (the theme) Isn't? | 04:16 |
| slipttees | after upgrade kernel to 3.2.0-60-generic-pae my sound card no recognized! :/ | 04:16 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: so grub is loading, but the kernel can't find the root device? | 04:17 |
| slipttees | called "fictitious output" | 04:17 |
| === Jan11 is now known as ON1 | ||
| slipttees | Radon_3: morning... sorry :) | 04:17 |
| Radon_3 | Caelum: exactly, though I think grub can't find the kernel | 04:17 |
| Radon_3 | slipttees: no need to be sorry man, it is absolutely alright :) | 04:18 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: what is the actual message you get when you try to boot | 04:18 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: anyway, at the menu try pressing 'e' and edit the boot block | 04:19 |
| Radon_3 | ok: it gives a very very fast try (hd0,0) try(hd0,1) not found something(?) I had to use Pause/Break key to read it, and then it gives me grub> and then nothing | 04:19 |
| Caelum | ok | 04:19 |
| Caelum | so it can't find the kernel | 04:20 |
| Radon_3 | yeap :( | 04:20 |
| Stirner | Ummm.. | 04:20 |
| Caelum | I think in the boot block you edit when you press 'e' you can tell it where the kernel is | 04:20 |
| cfhowlett | slipttees, reboot and login to the previous kernel | 04:20 |
| Radon_3 | isn't this 'e' thingy only available when you actually see the boot menue of grub? | 04:21 |
| Caelum | hold tab when grub is booting so it gives you the menu | 04:21 |
| Caelum | then press e on the kernel entry | 04:21 |
| Radon_3 | ooooh, amazing, didn't know about it.... | 04:21 |
| Radon_3 | ok | 04:21 |
| Radon_3 | I'm going to do that | 04:21 |
| Stirner | I installed gnome tweak tool but I can't see moka theme at "themes" | 04:23 |
| Caelum | ah crap it's actually shift | 04:23 |
| Stirner | :s | 04:23 |
| Stirner | ¿Algún mexicano? | 04:23 |
| Stirner | jaja | 04:23 |
| slipttees | cfhowlett: remove kernel? | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | slipttees, I did NOT suggest removing the kernel. booting an older version allows you back onto the system. | 04:28 |
| Radon_3 | hi all again, the tab holding didn't work | 04:29 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: sorry I told you the wrong key, it's actually shift | 04:29 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: I got confused because it's tab on the install cd | 04:29 |
| Radon_3 | Ok, so what exactly happens if I hold the tab key for so long? | 04:29 |
| Radon_3 | Cause I did? | 04:29 |
| jitesh | hii | 04:29 |
| Caelum | nothing it's shift | 04:30 |
| slipttees | okay. i will try | 04:30 |
| Radon_3 | ok, I'm going again | 04:30 |
| slipttees | tnk a lot | 04:30 |
| Radon_3 | So you sure this time? | 04:30 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: but also, if grub can't find the /boot it won't be able to pull up the menu | 04:30 |
| Stirner | WHAT THE HELL!!! jajaja I have to do alone... | 04:30 |
| Stirner | Thanks | 04:30 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: yah http://askubuntu.com/questions/16042/how-to-get-to-the-grub-menu-at-boot-time-on-a-single-boot-system-not-dual-boot | 04:30 |
| Stirner | fuckin' cocksuckerssss | 04:30 |
| Caelum | lol | 04:30 |
| Radon_3 | Caelum: ok so it can't find the kernel, and you say nothing will happen after holding shift in this situation, so what am I doing now? | 04:32 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: no if it can find the grub.cfg shift will give you the menu, but if it can't then it won't | 04:32 |
| Caelum | Radon_3: in which case you'll have to use the install disk to repair | 04:33 |
| Radon_3 | Caelum: ok, how will I be doing that? | 04:33 |

| Guest37996 | reason being is that I want a pure pash prompt that I can use to develop programs on as I learn the bash language | 05:13 |

| keo | I don't have an launcher | 07:30 |
| keo | or dash | 07:30 |
| keo | or top panel | 07:30 |
| keo | just a wallpaper | 07:30 |
| bazhang | keo, then you'll need to restart if you cannot get to a menu of some sort; what I did previously in this case was to install unity 2d from terminal ctrl-alt-t , then run it from alt-f2, log out fix the driver then back | 07:32 |
| keo | how do I fix the driver? | 07:35 |
| bazhang | get into a working environment that has menus and such | 07:36 |
| bazhang | I just gave you one such method | 07:36 |
| keo | I have a working environment | 07:37 |
| keo | I'm trying to fix unity | 07:38 |
| bazhang | you have no menus, no tab, no dash or the like, that does not sound like "working" | 07:39 |
| toyimp | if I add other desktop environments, will I have to reinstall x11 programs for that environment? | 07:39 |
| bazhang | toyimp, like kubuntu-desktop or similar? | 07:39 |
| keo | gnome fall back works | 07:40 |
| keo | but default ubuntu doesn't work | 07:40 |
| toyimp | like gnome or cinnamon | 07:40 |
| bazhang | then use that | 07:40 |
| bazhang | now remove the various 3rd party drivers you have installed and get nvidia-current | 07:40 |
| keo | I have an ati card | 07:41 |
| bazhang | toyimp, I dont believe so | 07:41 |
| toyimp | bazhang, thanks =) | 07:41 |
| toyimp | bazhang, I was just curious. I'll check into it more when I get a chance. | 07:41 |
| bazhang | <keo> then I uninstalled nvidia and I can log in, but no unity | 07:41 |
| bazhang | keo you said quite the contrary just a moment ago | 07:42 |
| keo | it fixed the black screen | 07:42 |
| bazhang | what did | 07:42 |
| keo | uninstalling nvidia | 07:42 |
| keo | but still no launcher etc | 07:43 |
| bazhang | why did you install nvidia drivers for an ati card in the first place | 07:43 |
| keo | I don't know what happened | 07:44 |
| bazhang | toyimp, if by gnome you mean gnome-shell, then no; keep in mind that unity and gnome-shell are shells from gnome3 | 07:45 |
| bazhang | not tried cinnamon so I cannot comment though | 07:45 |
| toyimp | bazhang, ah alrighty. I'll keep that in mind while checking out some articles. | 07:46 |
| toyimp | at least I won't have to reinstall programs. | 07:46 |
| bazhang | !info cinnamon | 07:46 |

| bazhang | its in the repos too toyimp , so you can apt-get install gnome-shell cinnamon then choose | 07:47 |
| toyimp | indeed. I heard about it from an article about things to do after installing Ubuntu. Cinnamon and Gnome were two of the suggestions. | 07:48 |
| toyimp | article from itsfoss dot com | 07:48 |
| bazhang | those are definitely favorites | 07:48 |
| keo | anyone know how to restore unity? | 07:51 |

| PatBateman | hey | 09:14 |
| PatBateman | I have a 35 GB ubuntu partition, and the folders/files on it take 25GB. Where are the missing 10GB ?? | 09:14 |
| PatBateman | I run BleachBit but released only 2BG space | 09:15 |
| PatBateman | any idea? | 09:15 |
| anudasanudasis | PatBateman: what says df -h? | 09:15 |
| vadimkolchev | i make .sh file executable and then execute it with the use of terminal. Tried both - gnome-terminal and xterm - the error is the same | 09:15 |
| PatBateman | checking | 09:15 |
| anudasanudasis | vadimkolchev: are you root? | 09:16 |
| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, tried both ways- no difference here | 09:16 |
| PatBateman | anudasanudasis: /dev/sda4 35G 28G 5.2G 85% / | 09:16 |
| anudasanudasis | PatBateman: its normal | 09:17 |
| geirha | A certain percentage of an ext4 system is reserved | 09:17 |
| === s0beitD is now known as s0beit | ||
| PatBateman | so the measured 24BG is 28GB in real? | 09:17 |
| PatBateman | I see | 09:17 |
| geirha | How do you determine it's 24G? | 09:18 |
| PatBateman | geirha: used krusader pressed space on folders | 09:18 |
| PatBateman | but this df command is more precise i think | 09:19 |
| PatBateman | so Im satisfied , thanks guys | 09:19 |
| anudasanudasis | PatBateman: and, by teh way, there can be zeroes files | 09:19 |
| anudasanudasis | PatBateman: so caleed zeroes | 09:20 |
| PatBateman | caleed? | 09:20 |
| anudasanudasis | PatBateman: even yero file need some space | 09:20 |
| PatBateman | ahm ok | 09:21 |
| vadimkolchev | hi all. I'm trying to install the game Euro Truck Simulator 2, but the installer gives me error: Error opening terminal: xterm and installation aborts. Please, help | 09:22 |

| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, it is unpacking installer and then says the abovementioned error | 09:24 |
| geirha | PatBateman: Yeah, it's probably the difference between file size and disk usage. A file with size 3kB will actually take up 4096 bytes of the disk | 09:24 |

| PatBateman | geirha: i see right | 09:24 |
| anudasanudasis | vadimkolchev: maybe, bdad unpacking | 09:24 |
| bekks | uis: What does "reverse bin file regarding linux permissions" mean? | 09:25 |
| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, I downloaded 2 times, same result | 09:25 |
| uis | http://pastebin.com/TqvqeVzA | 09:25 |
| uis | i logged into ssh session | 09:25 |
| anudasanudasis | vadimkolchev: download from same source? | 09:25 |
| uis | to get the permission to read another user file i have to break the bin file which is located in that session that file contain the code | 09:25 |
| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, actually it was torrent. yes. and others say that it runs okay | 09:26 |
| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, on 13.04, however here i have 13.10 | 09:26 |
| uis | if i get the shell then i can get the permission | 09:26 |
| anudasanudasis | vadimkolchev: so, ask them | 09:26 |
| bekks | uis: How is that related to Ubuntu? | 09:27 |
| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, they don't know, that's why I came here | 09:27 |
| anudasanudasis | vadimkolchev: why then dont know if you say that they say, that it is ok | 09:28 |
| anudasanudasis | vadimkolchev: why they dont know | 09:28 |
| vadimkolchev | anudasanudasis, they have 13.04 and I have 13.10, they have no idea why it works on 13.04 and doesn't on 13.10 | 09:28 |
| bekks | uis: From what you told me in your unasked query, it is just a challenge and not Ubuntu support related then. | 09:29 |

| Voyager82 | Hello, I may have asked this question before. I'm currently using an old version of Ubuntu (10.04). I'm planning to install a more lightweight versione of Linux, but, for now, I'm trying to solve a problem with my current version. My question is the following. If I "update" my version of Linux, will I make Ubuntu more "heavy". What I mean is: Is "updating" the same as "upgrading"? | 09:57 |
| subz3r0 | updating != upgrading | 10:00 |
| subz3r0 | normaly you can to like every day some security updates, or new versions of software will be updated | 10:01 |
| subz3r0 | with an upgrade you would upgrade the whole system (ubuntu) | 10:01 |
| Voyager82 | subz3r0, actually, what I'm trying to solve is the fact that I cannot open ed2k links with my version of Firefox. | 10:02 |
| subz3r0 | no idea what ed2k links are | 10:02 |
| bekks | Edonkey is still alive? Wow. | 10:03 |
| knittl | hi. so who has managed to fix plymouth/the splashscreen with nvidia prop. drivers? my vts also have the wrong resolution (4:3 on a 16:10 screen) | 10:03 |
| Voyager82 | The OS is suggesting me to "update" the system. Mine is and "old" computer. I don't want to get it "slower" than it is. | 10:03 |
| Voyager82 | edsk links are somethings related to aMule. | 10:03 |
| subz3r0 | Voyager82: whats the meaning of "old computer" to you? | 10:04 |
| Voyager82 | I think it's a Pentium IV. | 10:04 |
| subz3r0 | Ram? | 10:04 |
| Voyager82 | How do see my current hardware on Linux? | 10:04 |
| knittl | lshw | 10:05 |
| kimim | 測試 | 10:05 |
| Voyager82 | My CPU is an AMD Semptron. | 10:06 |
| subz3r0 | how fast? how much ram? | 10:06 |
| subz3r0 | >2 gigs should work with new version without any issues. but you can have a look on Lubuntu or Xubuntu aswell | 10:06 |
| Voyager82 | I can't see the Ram is listed. | 10:06 |
| olalonde | after adding a user to a group, I still get permission denied error, yet the file is g+rwx | 10:07 |
| olalonde | do I need to logout and login again? | 10:07 |
| Voyager82 | However, I had installed a "new" version of Ubuntu a couple of years ago, and it got "very" slow. | 10:07 |
| subz3r0 | Voyager82: okay. so do a backup of your files and try lubuntu or xubuntu. you can try them ofc without installing them before... | 10:08 |
| Voyager82 | subz3r0, actually, I'm planning to "betray" Ubuntu, and install "Debian LXDE". :D I'm not supposed to say this here. :) I'm joking. I still don't know what to do. | 10:08 |
| subz3r0 | Voyager82: ofc you can. Its up to you which distro you choose | 10:08 |

| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 10:08 |
| Voyager82 | subz3r0, what line of the program that you gave me lists the amount of RAM I have? | 10:09 |
| gordonjcp | cristian_c: delete the .inkscape directory? | 10:09 |
| gordonjcp | cristian_c: in your homedir | 10:09 |
| subz3r0 | cristian_c: ~/.inkscape? | 10:09 |

| gordonjcp | cristian_c: does what work? | 10:09 |
| subz3r0 | --> /home/youruser/.inkscape | 10:09 |
| subz3r0 | cristian_c: why not backing it up and try it? | 10:10 |
| cristian_c | ok | 10:10 |
| gordonjcp | yeah | 10:10 |
| subz3r0 | i dont use inkscape, but i would try it that way | 10:10 |
| gordonjcp | mv ~/.inkscape ~/.inkscape.old | 10:10 |
| cristian_c | Subo1977, it doesn't exist | 10:10 |
| gordonjcp | it'll be there somewhere | 10:10 |
| cristian_c | *subz3r0, | 10:10 |
| subz3r0 | http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Preferences_subsystem | 10:11 |
| subz3r0 | there u go | 10:11 |
| cristian_c | ok | 10:11 |
| subz3r0 | it depends of the version you use. so check that website | 10:12 |
| olalonde | oh the problem was that I was inside a tmux session | 10:12 |

| cristian_c | ok, it works | 10:17 |
| cristian_c | thanks | 10:17 |
| subz3r0 | cristian_c: you're welcome | 10:17 |
| Eagleman | subz3r0 it not really usefull to ping and traceroute since they are behind a firewall with port forwarding, the values are fine | 10:17 |
| Eagleman | subz3r0 i think this problem is at the application layer | 10:18 |
| subz3r0 | Eagleman: youre talking about websites which are reachable from the net? | 10:18 |
| Eagleman | subz3r0 yes | 10:18 |
| subz3r0 | so why should a traceroute not work then? | 10:18 |
| subz3r0 | you can see the hops to that site and the latency... | 10:18 |
| Eagleman | becuase it stops at my router and not the site | 10:18 |
| Voyager82 | Thank you. See you some other time. | 10:19 |
| Eagleman | subz3r0 yeh it all seems fine | 10:20 |
| subz3r0 | Eagleman: so youre router is blocking outgoing connections? | 10:20 |
| subz3r0 | your | 10:20 |
| Eagleman | subz3r0 no incoming | 10:21 |
| Eagleman | but port 80/443 are forwarded to the ubuntu server | 10:21 |
| subz3r0 | normaly just incoming is blocked due nat. but well... depends on your setup | 10:21 |
| zaitzev | Hey, how do I mount a shared folder on my Windows machine that is in an Active Directory? Prior to joining the AD the share worked fine with the settings I currently have in fstab | 10:23 |
| Eagleman | subz3r0 the issue is also there if i connect from inside the network | 10:24 |
| Eagleman | my centos webserver seems to be working fine | 10:24 |
| zaitzev | now when I try to do mount /media/share I get, as root > mount error(13): Permission denied | 10:25 |

| Eagleman | Looks like static pages work fine, but not pages with php/mysql | 10:27 |
| bekks | then your webserver setup is pretty broken. | 10:27 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: that makes no sense, it must be a broken webserver | 10:27 |
| Eagleman | i suspect so | 10:27 |

| Eagleman | anything i can do to fix that? | 10:29 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: fix the webserver | 10:29 |
| Eagleman | yeh thats the problem xD | 10:29 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: my car doesn't work, what's wrong with it? | 10:29 |
| bekks | Eagleman: It is an centos webserver - so its not an ubuntu issue. | 10:29 |
| Eagleman | bekks wait what | 10:29 |
| Eagleman | its an ubuntu webserver | 10:30 |
| ezrhino | hello. how safe a command is sudo apt-get removeall | 10:30 |
| Eagleman | i just said thats its working fine on centos | 10:30 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Ah sorry, I just read that again. | 10:30 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: without giving us a bit more to go on, it's pretty much impossible to say | 10:30 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: does the web server work when you connect to it locally? | 10:30 |
| Eagleman | i dont have anymore to go on, there is nothing in the loggs... | 10:30 |
| Eagleman | gordonjcp it also laggs sometimes | 10:30 |
| bekks | ezrhino: Very safe, because the is no such option "removeall". | 10:31 |
| ezrhino | ugh, im sorry, the one that goes with cleanall? | 10:31 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: that's not really enough to go on | 10:31 |
| bekks | ezrhino: Very safe, because the is no such option "cleanall". | 10:31 |
| bekks | ezrhino: Please refer to "man apt-get" for valid options. | 10:31 |
| ezrhino | cam you tell me the one im thinking og ? | 10:31 |
| Eagleman | gordonjcp try http://www.jrpoot.eu/ | 10:32 |

| ezrhino | wont case issues for noob | 10:34 |
| bekks | ezrhino: What do you really want to know? | 10:34 |
| Eagleman | gordonjcp the tng link to? | 10:34 |
| bekks | ezrhino: It may break your system. | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: the what? | 10:34 |
| ezrhino | ty! | 10:34 |
| Eagleman | www.jrpoot.eu/tng/ | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: it seems to work | 10:34 |
| Eagleman | try clicking some links on the left side | 10:35 |
| ezrhino | this is what i needed to know thanks, bekks | 10:35 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Then investigate the logs of your webserver | 10:35 |
| Eagleman | bekks like i said there is nothing there | 10:35 |
| tsak__ | how i can add option to my keyboard settings that i can use numpad like mouse. previous xubuntu had it. | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: ... and now it doesn't | 10:35 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Then enable logging, if there are no logs. | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: to assist you with your diagnosis, my IP address is 2.24.241.107 | 10:36 |
| tsak__ | or is there config file what i can edit? | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: yeah, the tng link is the last thing I clicked and is definitely no longer working | 10:37 |
| Eagleman | apache error.log is not showing anything related with tng | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: it's just timing out | 10:37 |
| Eagleman | gordonjcp yeh thats the issue, nothing in the apache logs | 10:37 |
| bekks | Eagleman: The apache error log is not the only log. There is an access log, and hopefully a php log, too. | 10:37 |
| Eagleman | access.log is emtpy | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: why is /tng different? | 10:38 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Then enable logging, since we access /tng | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | Eagleman: what's the difference between that path and anything else? | 10:38 |
| Eagleman | gordonjcp its working with php/mysql | 10:38 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Check the php db connection, check php erorrs, check db access. | 10:38 |
| danilo_ | ciao a tutti | 10:38 |

| bipul | Walex2, Please see the complet configuration of a path inside my .bashrc file http://pastebin.com/BC4apDzm | 11:53 |
| assum | Walex2, I read that hdparm can cause filesystem corruption if used mistakenly. I'm not experienced with it, so it seems scarry. | 11:53 |
| Walex2 | assum: you are trying to completely erase a disk -- that is pretty bad "filesystem corruption" :-) | 11:53 |
| bekks | terminal corruption. | 11:53 |
| assum | Walex2, I'd like to erase an external disk drive. I don't want it to damage my computer's own hard drive. | 11:54 |
| Walex2 | assum: mistype a single letter and you will destroy the contents of your internal drive either way. | 11:55 |
| gordonjcp | assum: so find out what the device path for the external drive is, and wipe it | 11:55 |
| gordonjcp | assum: hdparm doesn't come into it | 11:55 |
| assum | Walex2, I'd rather use dd. I have no good feeling for this | 11:55 |
| monkwitdafunk | assum you can use destructive badblocks in ubuntu but you can also use dban.bzi | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | assum: dd'ing /dev/zero over it will wipe off everything | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | it won't be especially quick but it will be quicker than say dban | 11:56 |
| assum | Walex2, so would this command be correct to zero-out the contents? | 11:56 |
| assum | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4k conv=notrunc | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | if you need to erase to military spec, you want dban | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | assum: almost certainly not | 11:56 |
| gordonjcp | assum: /dev/sda is probably your boot drive | 11:56 |
| assum | gordonjcp, thank you for the hint, I was aware of it, just copy-pasted it straight from the wiki. | 11:57 |
| monkwitdafunk | One pass of reading and writing 0 is the quick kernel boot in dban.bzi | 11:57 |

| c2tarun | hi friends. I am not able to log in into my ubuntu 12.04 after entering correct password. I am able to login in terminal from ctrl+Alt+F2 screen | 13:17 |
| Malsasa | Hello, how can I get new/fresh dpkg status file for Ubuntu 13.10? Where I can download it? I need it for apt-web webapp (http://apt-web.ntb.linux.or.id) for 13.10 entry. Thank you. | 13:17 |
| Walex | c2tarun: thats unlikely | 13:19 |
| Walex | Malsasa: what is a "dpkg status file"? | 13:20 |
| MonkeyDust | csrgxtu make sure no partitions are 100% full | 13:20 |
| MonkeyDust | c2tarun ^^^^^^ | 13:21 |
| c2tarun | Walex, yup but its happening. after entering password from UI i am getting black screen and directed back to login screen | 13:21 |

| darthdeus | bekks: from here http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt | 13:23 |
| kostkon | darthdeus, try changing "precise-pgdg" to just "precise " | 13:23 |
| c2tarun | Walex, any suggestions? | 13:23 |
| Walex | Malsasa: you may misunderstand how DPKG works, and what is the role of the 'status' files. | 13:23 |
| darthdeus | hmm it seems that i somehow have the packages in my list even if i remove the list | 13:24 |
| Walex | c2tarun: what's happening is that you are able to login, but then your "session" dies and your are logged out. | 13:24 |
| Malsasa | Walex: do you know apt-web? apt-web use the dpkg status file. | 13:24 |
| kostkon | darthdeus, ? | 13:24 |
| c2tarun | Walex, how can I fix this? | 13:24 |
| darthdeus | kostkon: i've removed the .list, did apt-get update and apt-cache search postgresql-9.3 and it still finds it, so i guess I've somehow managed to add this already in some other way? | 13:24 |
| Walex | c2tarun: so from the terminal you should look at the session logs, usually '~/.xsession-errors' | 13:25 |
| === root is now known as Guest85202 | ||
| darthdeus | is there some other place i can look besides /etc/apt/sources.list.d/? | 13:25 |
| Walex | c2tarun: or from the console you can run 'startx -- :1' and see what happens. | 13:25 |
| Malsasa | Walex: any way to get status file for Ubuntu 13.10 without downloading the ISO? Just status file. And the status file must be original. | 13:25 |
| darthdeus | kostkon: also getting 404 if i remove the pgdg, so i guess that's not it | 13:26 |
| kostkon | darthdeus, maybe in your /etc/apt/sources.list? | 13:26 |
| darthdeus | kostkon: lol you're right, it's in there :D | 13:26 |
| darthdeus | sorry for being dumb | 13:26 |
| Walex | Malsasa: very strange request. Again I am note sure that you really understand what you are asking for. Anyhow, don't you have a 'status-old' file there too? | 13:26 |
| darthdeus | it didn't occur to me to check there | 13:26 |

| c2tarun | Walex, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7055746/ please take a look at my .xsession-errors file | 13:28 |

| halvorg | Hello, I tried installing bumblebee and now my resolution is all wrong. I tried to set the resolution back with xrandr, but it seems to think I have a 4:3 monitor. | 13:34 |
| halvorg | Do I need to revert back to the old video driver or something? | 13:34 |
| Walex | Malsasa: other than that the only way you have to get the «"status" file (/var/lib/dpkg/status) of a newly installed system. | 13:35 |
| DJones | xbox: This channel is English language only, if you type "/join #ubuntu-br" you'll be able to get support in your own language | 13:35 |
| xbox | tendi esse canal eh so ingles blz to saindo foi mal | 13:35 |
| Walex | Malsasa: other than that the only way you have to get the «"status" file (/var/lib/dpkg/status) of a newly installed system» is to install a system from scratch. Each system has a *different* 'status' file. | 13:35 |
| halvorg | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee <-- followed the basic installation here, which made my resolution wrong. Then followed uninstallation steps which didn't fix the problem. | 13:35 |
| Malsasa | Walex: hmm, I need status file from /var/lib/dpkg in Ubuntu 13.10. The status file should be "virgin". If you read the readme point D: "Put the "status" file (/var/lib/dpkg/status) of a newly installed | 13:35 |
| Malsasa | system." . Another entry on the implementation were completed, except 13.10. So back to my qestion: where i can download Ubuntu 13.10 status file only without downloading the ISO? | 13:35 |
| Walex | Malsasa: again, you don't understand that 'status' is different on every system. You need to install a system from scratch to get the "status" file for that system, you cannot download it. | 13:36 |
| Malsasa | Walex: no, I need the original status file. Default status file before any apt installation happens. Now I can't download big ISO. If I can download only the status file, it will be best. | 13:36 |
| === Dureiken_ is now known as Dureiken | ||
| Malsasa | Walex: cannot download it? Even in Ubuntu source code? Okay, it that is true, then I will stop. | 13:37 |
| Walex | Malsasa: the 'status' file is just a list of packages installed on the system. If the system has not been installed, there are no packages installed. | 13:37 |
| c2tarun_ | Walex: Hi I finally managed to install and run irssi on my laptop :| let me have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0 file | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | !mini|Malsasa, | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Malsasa,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:38 |
| Malsasa | Walex: no, yesterday I can get the status files from another distro without installing. Just liveusb. Nah, if there is any download place for it... I will download it (if any). But thank you. | 13:38 |
| Walex | Malsasa: a liveUSB is an *installed* system. | 13:38 |
| Malsasa | Walex: okay, understand. So no download place for "virgin" status files? | 13:39 |
| Walex | Malsasa: one that contains a specific set of packages, and whichever they are is recorded in 'status'. | 13:39 |
| c2tarun_ | Walex: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7055804 , please take a look at this file. | 13:39 |
| Malsasa | Walex: i know the function of it. So thank you to let me know. | 13:39 |
| c2tarun_ | Walex: I am not able to see anything wrong in this file. | 13:40 |
| Walex | Malsasa: what probably 'apt-web' needs is a list of *already* installed packages, probably to avoid downloading them again, as it seems a package caching thing. | 13:40 |
| Malsasa | Walex: similiar of that. I use apt-web for years because I don't have permanent internet connection. So I got the dependencies through internet outside my home. Yes, with apt-web. | 13:41 |
| Malsasa | Walex: again, thank you for your help. | 13:41 |
| Malsasa | cfhowlett: and thank you for you too, Sir. | 13:41 |
| Walex | Malsasa: so you can use either your current 'status' file (you already downloaded those packages) or perhaps you could use the 'Release' file of a minimal installation CD, as <cfhowlett> was hinting | 13:44 |
| Walex | c2tarun_: perhaps you need the 'Xorg.0.log.old' file, or whatever eit is just after X probably failed after you logged in. | 13:45 |

| Walex | c2tarun_: there is actually a timestamp, even if it is relative. But the X server when it crashes it creates a new log file and renames the previous one as '.old'. | 13:48 |

| Walex | c2tarun: the X server logs and 'dmesg' don't show any crash, perhaps they still don't refer to a session that crashed.

| H|ena | thnx toyimp | 13:57 |
| user1 | where do you live? | 13:57 |
| c2tarun_ | Walex: :( So any suggestions besides formatting and reinstalling? | 13:57 |
| MonkeyDust | user1 #ubuntu-offtopic for nice social chat, please | 13:58 |
| Walex | c2tarun: the best you can try is probably to try to login with "emergency"/"recovery" login, and/or using 'startx -- :1' from command line. | 13:58 |
| c2tarun_ | Walex: how can I do emergency/recovery login? | 13:58 |
| Walex | c2tarun: reformatting/reinstalling is always wrong with GNU/Linux. GNu/Linux systems with a robust package management don't get corrupted. | 13:58 |
| Walex | c2tarun: in the login form in one of the corners somewhere. | 13:59 |
| Walex | c2tarun: I don't use it, so I don't know where it is. | 13:59 |
| bibi234 | Walex: I've found a cups driver, it says : "The driver allows you to control the Impact Dot Printer using Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) on GNU/Linux.". I've followed installation instructions, now it says "Installation is finished" on the console, what should I do know? | 14:01 |
| bibi234 | this driver is for the same model I have so it looks correct | 14:02 |
| Walex | bibi234: restart CUPS to be sure 'sudo service cups restart' and then list available printers with 'lpstat -a' | 14:02 |
| Walex | bibi234: but note also that an Impact Dot Printer may be one of the few types that does not need a driver. | 14:03 |
| Walex | bibi234: asking good questions giving context is a nice skill to have :-) | 14:04 |
| Walex | c2tarun: the "emergency" thing should be in the list of desktop environment you can choose on the login screen. | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | bibi234, test print | 14:04 |
| Walex | c2tarun: http://linuxlookup.com/files/imagecache/800x600/ubuntu_11.10_login.png | 14:05 |
| bibi234 | Walex: I've restarted cups service and listed with your command, I only see a "Brother .." printer, which is another printer I used to use but not currently plugged in | 14:06 |
| Walex | bibi234: then you have installed the printer driver but you need to define the printer to use that driver... | 14:06 |
| Walex | bibi234: so use the procedure the add a new CUPS printer, and when it asks which driver choose the right one. | 14:07 |
| Walex | bibi234: or connect to 'http://localhost:631/' to double check | 14:09 |
| bibi234 | Walex: I think this is the problem, it looks like it isn't even detected as a printer, for my previous printer, I had simply added it through the visual interface, "parameters", "printers", "add" and so on, and choosed the correct driver, I didn't use cups | 14:09 |
| Walex | bibi234: you used CUPS without knowing... | 14:09 |
| toyimp | Has anyone been able to get TTY working with nvidia drivers? The forums I've read have not helped. And not sure where else to look. | 14:09 |
| bibi234 | for this one when I plug it, it appears as "usb-Prolific_Technology_Inc._USB-Serial_Controller_D-if00-port0" in "/dev/serial/by-id/" | 14:10 |
| Walex | bibi234: depending on the printer type, you have to configure it manually, it does not get autodetected. | 14:10 |
| Walex | bibi234: that is not the printer, it is a serial-USB converter, because probably your printer is a serial port one, not a USB one. | 14:10 |
| Walex | bibi234: again, providing essential context when asking questions is a skill that is nice to have. | 14:11 |
| bibi234 | Walex: yes exactly! this is a serial port, I've bought a special cable to plug to usb, is it ok? | 14:11 |
| Walex | bibi234: it is OK, but your questions are rather badly phrased. Attaching serial port dot matrix printers is a sepcial case and very different from installing recent inkjet/laserjet printers. | 14:12 |
| Walex | bibi234: try a web search like "ubuntu cups add printer dot matrix serial port" | 14:13 |
| c2tarun | Walex, Hi, reinstalling ubuntu-desktop did the trick for me. Any suggestions on how to ensure that this doesn't happen again? | 14:14 |
| bibi234 | Walex: My questions may not be clear because I'm not familiar with hardware and ubuntu in general... sorry about that. Just to be clear, I've installed cups driver, the printer is working by itself (with the mechanical test), it's plugged with an adaptated cable SERIAL to USB | 14:15 |
| bibi234 | adaptater* | 14:15 |
| bibi234 | ok I'll search this | 14:15 |
| Walex | c2tarun: if that fixed the crash then perhaps some file got corrupted after all, and that may mean disk errors. | 14:15 |
| c2tarun | Walex, Now I remember that before last reboot I was trying to install archlinux in virtual box. Is it possible that virtualbox may have caused some kind of issue? | 14:15 |
| c2tarun | Walex, disk errors? I think disk errors should get reported when system starts. | 14:16 |
| Walex | c2tarun: VirtualBox kernel driver has lots of issues too... | 14:17 |
| curiousguy13 | hello everyone, i have just installed gtk+ on ubuntu 13.10 but when i run a program , it says failed to load module "overlay scrollbar"(even though overlay scrollbar is already installed). can anyone help? | 14:17 |
| c2tarun | Walex, hmmm... so there is no safe way to learn how to install archlinux :( | 14:17 |
| darthdeus | what can I do when i have a package with unmet dependencies? I've tried apt-get install -f , but it fails, and i can't remove the package because i get told it has unmet dependencies | 14:21 |
| SirLagz | darthdeus: install hte dependencies ? | 14:21 |
| darthdeus | i do have them installed | 14:21 |
| darthdeus | it just somehow broke | 14:21 |
| darthdeus | let me share the errors | 14:21 |
| Walex | c2tarun: I did notice that you were begging for trouble with both 'fglrx' and 'vboxdrv' in the kernel, but also expected an X server crash to result. | 14:21 |
| SirLagz | darthdeus: if theres unmet dependencies then they're not there. | 14:22 |
| Walex | c2tarun: anyhow the Linux native virtual environments are QEMU/KVM and UML and they are much safer than VirtualBox. | 14:22 |
| darthdeus | http://i.imgur.com/2HuyPVf.png | 14:22 |
| c2tarun | Walex, Thanks for advice. I'll look into both QEMU and KVM | 14:22 |
| darthdeus | SirLagz: well i didn't really change anything, it just somehow broke :X | 14:22 |
| darthdeus | i didn't uninstall anything | 14:23 |
| darthdeus | and it worked before | 14:23 |
| Walex | c2tarun: but that's not necessarily why your X sessions started crashing. | 14:23 |
| SirLagz | darthdeus: you need to upgrade postgresql-9.1 | 14:23 |
| darthdeus | SirLagz: but if i do sudo apt-get upgrade postgresql-9.1 it doesn't work | 14:23 |
| c2tarun | Walex, hmmm.... anyway right now I am trying to understand boot configuration for arch. So next experimentation might take a while. | 14:23 |
| darthdeus | http://i.imgur.com/AGbNgzs.png | 14:24 |
| Walex | darthdeus: mixing repositories is not necessarily a good idea... | 14:25 |
| Walex | darthdeus: also, learning to use Aptitude and looking at dependencies and conflicts with it might be good. | 14:26 |
| === toastcfh_ is now known as toastcfh | ||
| darthdeus | Walex: what do you mean by mixing repositories? | 14:29 |
| darthdeus | i just added the source to upgrade to a newer version | 14:30 |
| SirLagz | darthdeus: have you tried also upgrading postgresql-client-9.1 at the same time ? | 14:30 |
| darthdeus | yeah | 14:32 |
| Walex | darthdeus: you are using both the Ubuntu and PostgreSQL repos at the same time, and the packages are built in a slightly different way... | 14:32 |
| darthdeus | Walex: hmm, so i guess i'll just uninstall all postgres i currently have, and install the version i need from the postgresql repo | 14:33 |
| darthdeus | that should fix it right? | 14:33 |
| Walex | darthdeus: probably yes. | 14:33 |
| Walex | darthdeus: at least a step in the right direction. | 14:33 |
| darthdeus | i never realized those would be different things :\ in my mind the same version was always the same, no matter where it was taken from ... but i guess that makes no sense | 14:35 |
| Walex | darthdeus: the software is usually identical (but for different sets of patches...) but the packaging can be quite different. | 14:37 |

| doomlord_ | trying to repair an ubuntu install in a laptop that interrupted during update... i can't boot it from the dvd drive ; i've got a USB stick now, i've used usb startup disk creator but that crashes at the end - if i open the stick i can see everything there, but i haven't been able to boot with it; | 14:46 |
| doomlord_ | Q1 - can I make Grub (the laptop has grub2 already from an earlier ubuntu install) manually launch the USB stick. | 14:46 |
| freenide | <ubottu> which ubuntu server i need to instrall that will help me setup dhcp ?????thanks | 14:46 |
| doomlord_ | Q2 can I verify on my desktop PC that the usb stick actually works, or is there another way to create the bootable stick (i fear the installer crashing might mean the stick hasn't been configured correctly) | 14:47 |
| cfhowlett | freenide, #ubuntu-server is the channel for server questions | 14:47 |
| tmwsiy_ | doomlord: can you borrow an external usb dvd drive? | 14:47 |
| doomlord_ | i dont have one at hand ; a final option i'm told might work is removing the hard-drive and repairing the install in a PC .. i have spare PC drive bays | 14:48 |
| juicyccleff | well uhm you should try installing another version of ubuntu on on a partitioned disk | 14:48 |
| doomlord_ | i can't launch the bios on this laptop.. its weird | 14:48 |
| doomlord_ | f2, f8, f11, f12, del.. holding either of those and rebooting.. nothing | 14:49 |
| tmwsiy_ | doomlord: if you hit escape when its booting can you glean any more info about whats wrong? | 14:49 |
| juicyccleff | like you should partition your disk save your files from the other version, then delete the ubuntu partion and flash all over | 14:49 |
| juicyccleff | whats the pc spec | 14:49 |
| doomlord_ | elsewhere i found an instruction to add a menu item to grub to boot from USB - i've done this but that doesn't work -the command is ..... linux/boot/plpbt.bin - that file isn't on the stuck | 14:50 |
| doomlord_ | luckily i dont think i have any critical information on the machine | 14:50 |
| doomlord_ | i keep everything on two desktops , cloud.. | 14:50 |
| juicyccleff | what version of grub are you using | 14:51 |
| juicyccleff | and is grub fully functional | 14:51 |
| doomlord_ | grub2.0 ; i tried USB Startup Disk Creator twice and it crashed both times :) its a new usb stick bought today (i had crappy ones lying around) | 14:51 |
| doomlord_ | grub does everything i think it should do | 14:51 |
| doomlord_ | i can navigate its menu, i can boot Windows | 14:51 |
| doomlord_ | windows works fine, apart from being crap | 14:52 |
| maliktunga | Firefox 27 is extremely laggy compared to Chrome/Chromium... | 14:52 |
| juicyccleff | wow! thats huge | 14:52 |
| juicyccleff | you cant boot into windows | 14:52 |
| doomlord_ | yeah its not like the laptop is bricked | 14:52 |
| maliktunga | Activating or deactivating Hardware Acceleration makes no difference. | 14:52 |
| doomlord_ | i get the grub menu, i can get its' command line, it can *see* the usb stick | 14:53 |
| juicyccleff | ok. you should partition your haard disk | 14:53 |
| doomlord_ | i thought you could issue a command to boot it | 14:53 |
| juicyccleff | yeah | 14:53 |
| doomlord_ | i do have space on the windows partition | 14:53 |
| juicyccleff | you could use a command | 14:53 |
| doomlord_ | i could make another ubuntu install in a new partition :) - is it possible to do that from windows ? | 14:54 |
| juicyccleff | ok just flash Kali Linux | 14:54 |
| juicyccleff | it has grub 1 | 14:54 |
| maliktunga | Deactivating smooth scrolling makes it better, but even then the scrolling is laggy compared to Chrome/Chromium | 14:54 |
| basketball | hey where is actionparsnip | 14:54 |
| juicyccleff | then navigate through kali and flash the ubuntu partition. once done, flash ubuntu again and see if it will work | 14:55 |
| doomlord_ | whats 'kali' | 14:55 |
| juicyccleff | at least thats how i solved most of my ubuntu boot problems | 14:55 |
| doomlord_ | http://www.kali.org/ | 14:56 |

| juicyccleff | i've checked if identifies the soundcard and it does. | 15:11 |

| netameta__ | well* | 15:11 |
| netameta__ | what i mean is, lets say php5 packages, if i simply zip the entier folder and copy it to the other server - that will not do right ? | 15:12 |
| cfhowlett | netameta__, not really. I'm going to have to pass though as I'm not qualified to give a meaningful explanation | 15:13 |

| minimec | juicyccleff: So you had sound, and then it suddenly stopped, right? Can you open a terminal and open 'alsamixer'. Check your card settings. press 'm' for muted devices. | 15:13 |
| netameta__ | jamesd, the issue is, on one server i followed a tutorial and download a certain package that has other stuff. (i cannot find this tutorial) on the second server i followed a different tutorial which doesnt have all the needed stuff | 15:14 |
| netameta__ | jamesd, and since i am not sure what is installed on the first server(which workd great) i thought maybe i could duplicate it. | 15:15 |

| Noah_AT | mdh: and beaks: I've heard that about the disk possibly dying entirely, but sometimes they can last from 6 months to two years. This laptop is on its last legs anyways and I don't mind riding the HDD to the ground. | 15:49 |
| DBoyz | nope doesn't seem to work | 15:50 |
| evdeki | hi, will ubuntu gnome 14-04 come with gnome shell 3.10 or will have the latest shell if it's out by the time of the Ubuntu's release? | 15:50 |
| Noah_AT | Mdh: Like i said, all I've got to lose are some Minecraft files lol | 15:50 |
| tmwsiy_ | DBoyz: need more input to help | 15:50 |
| sudormrf | lol nothing like working hard on a script to find that there is already a program that does what you want for you | 15:51 |
| Noah_AT | tmwsiy_: Even if I got that, what would it do to help? Would I boot it from a live CD? I'd like to learn how to remedy this issue from linux via ubuntu or gparted | 15:52 |
| DBoyz | tmwsiy_: i'm trying to grep a string for example "hello" and i want words like "hello1" and "hello2" to appear in my result | 15:53 |
| jamesd | DBoyz: grep hello file(s) | 15:53 |
| tmwsiy_ | Noah_AT: it just does a more through job of trying to get data off problem sectors... I believe that fsck will unmap bad blocks too | 15:53 |
| DBoyz | i'm interested in grep-ing a directory though | 15:54 |
| tmwsiy_ | DBoyz: I understand taht but how are you consuming the string? is it a file? from a socket connection? | 15:54 |
| tmwsiy_ | grep will only match lines as well so if you have multiple hello's on the same line it will only show it once | 15:54 |
| tmwsiy_ | without knowing what you are trying to do it is almost impossible to help\ | 15:55 |
| jamesd | DBoyz: ls -l | grep helllo | 15:55 |
| Noah_AT | tmwsiy_: well more good news (particularly for my wallet) is that I don't need to recover anything from the HDD I just need to take it to a usable state | 15:55 |
| DBoyz | well i have multiple text files in a directory. i would like to search for a particular string in these file, example "hello". | 15:56 |
| DBoyz | i would like to have strings such as "hello1" and "hello2" to appear in my search result too | 15:56 |
| jamesd | DBoyz: grep hello file1 file2 file3 or file* | 15:57 |
| tmwsiy_ | well if they are all in the same directory you can do something like this: | 15:57 |
| tmwsiy_ | $grep 'hello*' *.txt | 15:57 |
| tmwsiy_ | Noah_AT: fsck should do what you are after | 15:58 |
| DBoyz | ah | 15:58 |
| DBoyz | thanks, that worked, tmwsiy_ | 15:58 |
| yeik | does anybody know, if you have a process running under an encrypted user account, when you disconnect sessions but still have the process running, what happens to the mounted folder? | 15:59 |
| bekks | yeik: It remains mounted until the user is logged out / the last user process is terminated. | 16:00 |
| tmwsiy_ | DBoyz: np happy to help | 16:00 |

| bekks | Noah_AT: Then it isnt even tryin to boot from a cd. | 16:07 |
| Noah_AT | bekks: over to the BIOS then? | 16:07 |
| tmwsiy_ | Noah_AT: if you did that then you are likely hosed brother | 16:08 |
| tmwsiy_ | Noah_AT: its just tryong to boot the hard drive first. usually there is F key that will take you to a boot menu even if you can't get the bios | 16:08 |
| Noah_AT | tmwsiy_: Alright! Booting live fedora 16 atm. I figure I can use the GUI and disk utility to give me some reports on the drive | 16:09 |
| tmwsiy_ | Noah_AT good plan | 16:10 |
| bekks | Noah_AT: you dont need any reports, you need to boot an install CD. | 16:11 |

| bekks | Noah_AT: You bad sector problem can be solved by replacing your harddrive. | 16:14 |
| bekks | basketball: And....? | 16:14 |
| high_fiver | anonygonzo: erm nope | 16:14 |
| basketball | how do i fix it bekks | 16:14 |
| Noah_AT | bekks: of course, but I'm trying to avoid that and learn some strategies to manage bad sectors rather than jumping ship | 16:14 |
| bekks | Noah_AT: You cannot avoid it. You can learn to avoid the pain of losing everything on your laptop again. So replace the harddrive. | 16:15 |

| minimec | filipo: I don't understand you configuration exactly. I guess you have a windows8 installation on one 750GB harddisk, and want ubuntu on the other. I would consider to choose the master boot sector of the HD you want ubuntu on as grub location. You can then switch the primary disk to boot from in the Bios. | 16:26 |

| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

It is then further indicated that I am required to install a kernel appropriate for my cpu. It says that the following features are not present on my cpu: pae. are you able to please assist me in any way he | 17:06 |
| Guest21357 | re? | 17:06 |
| cfhowlett | !pae | 17:06 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 17:06 |
| tmwsiy_ | shashank: Also, you have to assign a static ip to the interface that you will use for dhcp. If you will use eth0 for providing addresses in the 192.168.1.x subnet then you should assign for instance ip 192.168.1.1 to the eth0 interface using NetworkManager. Without this step you will get an error from dhcpd when starting the service. | 17:07 |
| tmwsiy_ | from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/isc-dhcp-server | 17:07 |
| tmwsiy_ | that has to be it | 17:07 |
| shashank_ | tmwsiy_, but I have assigned a static ip to my interface eth0 in my interfaces file.!!! | 17:10 |

| dextor__ | daftykins: Yes. 100% Because I am sharing my information via freenode.webchat | 17:29 |
| dextor__ | daftykins: Yes. 100% Because I am sharing my information via freenode.webchat, which is on VM. | 17:29 |
| jgoseph | fa7ad, dpkg -i somepackage.deb then apt-get -f install should install the dependancies I think | 17:30 |
| fa7ad | but the problem is i dont want to re download them | 17:30 |
| fa7ad | i already have them in the folder and my net is slow | 17:31 |
| shashank_ | minimec, that too is not working..!! | 17:31 |
| shashank_ | any more solution??? | 17:31 |
| shashank_ | any more solution??? | 17:31 |
| minimec | fa7ad: Install 'gdebi' and do 'gdebi yourpackage.deb' That will resolv all dependencies. | 17:31 |

| johan_ | Hi! How do I make transmission the default program for opening magnet links in Firefox? I have googled the issue and there seem to be alot of people with issue with this. | 17:32 |
| minimec | shashank_: Di you enter the desired IP and Gateway in 'Adresses'? That should do... | 17:32 |
| fa7ad | didnt work with gdebi | 17:33 |
| fa7ad | gonna have to settle with apt-get -f install | 17:33 |
| xangua | johan_: when you select the magnet link and firefox ask you with what program to open it in a popup, select /urs/bin/transmission-gtk | 17:33 |
| minimec | fa7ad: Did it show the missing dependency? Personally I would not(!) 'apt-get -f install'. | 17:34 |
| fa7ad | it said broken cache | 17:34 |
| maveas | Where do rsyslog put log messages from iptables on 13.10? | 17:34 |
| fa7ad | but lucky for me most of the big files installed with dpkg | 17:34 |

| NBhosting | what channel is best to ask this, couldnt think of oen | 17:35 |
| minimec | fa7ad: Can you first 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' before using gdebi once? | 17:35 |
| fa7ad | already done that | 17:35 |

| xangua | johan_: can you open transmission? | 17:37 |
| xangua | or just doesn't open when you select the magnet file? | 17:38 |

| melt7777 | no, it is not there, on the "new build" or on the actual live usb. but the /etc/default/whoopsie exists on both instances. | 17:59 |
| MonkeyDust | dextor__ it looks like wlan0 is the culprit, it's not the VM | 17:59 |
| minimec | shashank_: put 'auto eth0' (new line) 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' in /etc/network/interfaces. Still I am confused, because there were some changes in Ubuntu recently, wher imho /etc/network/interface was ignored by the network manager... Hmmm... | 17:59 |
| dextor__ | MonkeyDust: I told you it's not modem that generate Dynamic IP, it's about one extra host on my ISP which is given and assigned by them. Kindly if you know any other solution then please help me. | 17:59 |
| ikonia | melt7777: /etc/defaut/whoopsie is worthless, that error is complaining about the init script | 17:59 |
| fa7ad | guys anybody has the download link for libimobiledevice 1.1.6 ? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | minimec: there is no need for the interfaces file - that is why network manager is there | 18:00 |
| melt7777 | i understand but i just wanted to provide all troubleshooting information | 18:00 |
| fa7ad | it was a git build.. it fixed some ios 7 errors | 18:00 |

| ikonia | iptables does not log | 18:04 |
| ikonia | thats why tools like ulog are used | 18:04 |
| bipul | So It's not possible to use APT- in terminal to install and update package when you are behind the NAT ? | 18:05 |
| maveas | ikonia: I know - I just need rsyslog to log it.. | 18:05 |
| ikonia | bipul: of course it is | 18:05 |
| melt7777 | how about this. can i omit whoopsie from being updated during apt-get upgrade? | 18:05 |
| ikonia | melt7777: pin it ? | 18:05 |

| MonkeyDust | dextor__ i'm sure someone else can help better, repeat your question every 10-15 minutes or so, in one line | 18:07 |
| ikonia | bipul: so there is a signature error and a failed to fetch error there, | 18:07 |
| ikonia | bipul: why do you think that is anything to do with nat ? | 18:07 |
| minimec | shashank_: I see no reason for that device not(!) to start @boot. 'Ethernet' section 'Device MAC address' ok? | 18:08 |
| bipul | Because I am runing this Ubuntu behind NAT on VM's | 18:08 |
| ikonia | bipul: I suspect it's nothing to do with nat and more likley your VM network bridging/routing | 18:08 |
| maveas | Never mind my question. rsyslog wasn't configured properly.. | 18:08 |
| minimec | shashank_: Maybe clean that /etc/network/interfaces file once, and reboot. | 18:09 |

| bipul | ? | 18:16 |

| ikonia | bipul: on your vm type "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the FULL output please | 18:16 |
| bekks | bipul: Pastebin "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" please. | 18:16 |

| arctan | hello ubuntu community, I used dd to wipe my whole disk. after running for about 4-5 hours, I got following message and the process was finished: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7057187/ does this mean that the full disk was wiped successfully, or that it was interrupted? | 18:27 |
| ikonia | arctan: you've filled up your disk with data - whatever data you told it to do | 18:28 |
| ikonia | bipul: so as you can see - it's working with the other releases just fine | 18:29 |
| arctan | ikonia, I only told to dd the whole disk with this command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4k conv=notrunc | 18:29 |
| ikonia | bipul: it's just the updates repo that's having a problem, that proves it's nothing to do with nat, or the others would be failing | 18:29 |
| ikonia | arctan: so there you go.....it's done the whole disk | 18:30 |
| arctan | ikonia, I was just confused for the expression "no space left on device".. | 18:30 |
| bipul | You mean to say I have to use this apt-get upgrade ? | 18:31 |
| fntr | Justin Bieber is gay | 18:31 |
| arctan | ikonia, maybe did it mean to say all spaces were zeroed, since there is no data-extraction process involved here? | 18:31 |
| ikonia | arctan: dd tells it to write data, you have told it to write data, it has wrote data to that disk until there is no space left on that device | 18:32 |
| basketballl | when i go to the display settings i want to change the resolution to 1280 x 800 (16:10) when i select that resolution the rotation options change from 180 degress counterclockwise and clockwise and normal to just clockwise and counterclockwise | 18:33 |
| arctan | ikonia, as far as I know, dd overwrites all data with zeroes. in this context, "no space left" means no space left that is not already zeroed by dd. correct? | 18:34 |
| OerHeks | basketball, what is the diff between 180 clockwize and counterclockwize ? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | arctan: no, it means there is no space left on the disk to write zero's to | 18:35 |
| arctan | ikonia, then I have a hard time getting it. This is not testdisk or photorec. there is no data rescued which is to be recovered to some other location. dd is supposed to turn existing data into zeroes. so what extra space is required for that? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | arctan: dd will tell it to do what you tell it to do | 18:36 |
| arctan | I used dd before, this never happened. whole disk was wiped and done. | 18:37 |
| ikonia | arctan: think about it dd if=/dev/zero - you've told it to write zeros, of=/dev/sdb - you've told it to write zeros to the start of /dev/sdb and continue, it continues until it has hit the end of the device "no more space" | 18:37 |
| ikonia | arctan: it's an unusual warning for sure | 18:37 |
| arctan | ikonia, so "no more space" doesn't mean it couldnt complete wiping to the end, but rather it did complete it and reach the end. is it? | 18:39 |
| ikonia | arctan: that's how it reads to me | 18:39 |
| arctan | ikonia, yet do you mean it is a "warning" even if it reads that full wipe is completed? | 18:40 |
| ikonia | arctan: well, normally as you said it just completes saying records in / out as a count | 18:40 |
| ikonia | but if you're block size overspills it, I can see how you'd get that warning | 18:41 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Marcos60001: What !version of Ubuntu is this? | 18:56 |
| Marcos60001 | 13.10 Saucy Salamander | 18:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Marcos60001: Did you [ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ] as well? | 18:59 |
| Marcos60001 | no | 18:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Got a problem: I'm setting up an Ubuntu 13,10 install (64-bit). When I set a password with the passwd command, it registers in the console. However, lightdm doesn't recognize it (i.e. the user can log in without a password)! Yikes! | 18:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Marcos60001: Do that, then [ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install -f ] | 18:59 |

| Jaga_hut | noob question: | 19:10 |
| Jaga_hut | What does -y do in terminal? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: nothing | 19:11 |
| Jaga_hut | I notice it is included in some code and not in others for same function | 19:11 |
| luigihs_ | anyone? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: it will depend on the funciton | 19:12 |
| ikonia | function | 19:12 |
| IdleOne | Jaga_hut: -y is usually is used to auto accept whatever the package manager suggests | 19:12 |
| luigihs_ | ? | 19:12 |
| Jaga_hut | ikonia: Thats my point if the only difference in the code is one has -y and one doesn't | 19:12 |
| Jaga_hut | then it must do something | 19:12 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: what code ? what are you actually talking about ? | 19:12 |
| IdleOne | Jaga_hut: but like ikonia said it depends on the function | 19:13 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: in terms of the terminal (bash) it does nothing | 19:13 |
| Marcos60001 | SonikkuAmerica: Anyway, it doesn't work | 19:13 |
| Jaga_hut | Thanks | 19:13 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: in terms of the code you are referencing but not sharing - we don't know until we know what the code is | 19:13 |
| Marcos60001 | SonikkuAmerica: I seem to be lacking some libraries | 19:13 |
| Jaga_hut | Ikonia: No secrets here buddy its just three lines do install ubuntu tweak | 19:14 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: again - it depends on the code. | 19:14 |
| ikonia | and to be honest, you need "code" to install a package I don't know | 19:14 |
| Jaga_hut | Ikonia: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa -y | 19:14 |
| basketball | how do i get rid of black border with dual monitor set up. I have a Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) and the monitors do not have the same resolution one is the laptop screen and one is external | 19:14 |
| IdleOne | Jaga_hut: sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool | 19:15 |
| IdleOne | no need for a ppa | 19:15 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: so -y is for the command "add-apt-repository" it's a flag, and it means "auto accept the response as "yes" " | 19:15 |
| Jaga_hut | IdleOne: Whats PPA needed for? | 19:15 |
| Jaga_hut | (or not needed for) | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | Jaga_hut: Sometimes "new" software is not in the official repositories and one might want to use a PPA, in this case you don't need it because the unity-tweak-tool is available in the official repos | 19:16 |
| Jaga_hut | Ikonia: So if I add-y to any terminal command that requires a [y/n] then it will autimatically be y | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: no | 19:17 |
| ikonia | Jaga_hut: it's a flag for that one command | 19:17 |
| A1Recon | Is there a way to force bios to read boot from a USB drive because the BIOS does not show the USB drive in the Boot option? | 19:17 |

Weird. So I try the other drive.. same.. also noting to start from.. huh? Then I try the first drive, and that one too suddenly is gone.. Is this somethign | 19:18 |
| SvenOostenbrink | that anybody has ever seen? | 19:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | IdleOne: No luck - it still lets the user log in without a password | 19:18 |

| sudormrf | hey guys. I was wondering if someone clears something up for me about the hosts.deny file. if you do this in that file "ALL: X.X.X.X" where the X's represent an IP address, that host should no longer be able to reach you, correct? Alternatively, which action happens first when a host tries to connect, the host file is scanned and then the iptables or the reverse? | 19:26 |
| Marcos60001 | SonikkuAmerica: still doesn't work | 19:26 |
| ikonia | sudormrf: it will depend on the application and how tcp wrappers are being used | 19:27 |
| dexxa360 | testing | 19:27 |
| bobo | somebody help me? | 19:27 |
| sudormrf | ikonia: I am using fail2ban. | 19:27 |
| ikonia | sudormrf: iptables is nothing to do with any application, so that will happen when the machine gets a network packet to the interface iptables is active on | 19:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | IdleOne: Meh, it was a fresh install from scratch anyway, I just reinstalled Ubuntu | 19:27 |
| dexxa360 | hi | 19:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | IdleOne: Remembering, of course, to assign a password and require it on login | 19:28 |
| sudormrf | ikonia: what I mean is which is looked at first when a packet comes through, the iptables or the hosts file? | 19:28 |
| jelly-home | sudormrf: it's probably saner to use iptables instead of hosts.deny as fail2ban action when possible | 19:28 |
| ikonia | sudormrf: re-read what I just said | 19:28 |
| afterlight | bobo, make-write your problem and iff someone can help you , it will | 19:28 |
| ikonia | sudormrf: iptables will respond when a packet hits the interface | 19:28 |
| sudormrf | jelly-home: I was told that very long ip tables can create performance issues | 19:29 |
| jelly-home | sudormrf: ipset, then | 19:29 |

| basketball | this is the output of xrandr -q http://paste.ubuntu.com/7057505/ how do i change the resolution of the built in monitor | 19:29 |
| ikonia | sudormrf: set the retention policy of rules to something like 5 days and you'll never hit that long a list | 19:29 |
| sudormrf | jelly-home: is that an alternative to iptables? the machine has plenty of overhead | 19:29 |
| sudormrf | ikonia: for fail2ban? | 19:29 |
| ikonia | sudormrf: having a huge hosts.deny file will be worse than a big iptables rule set | 19:29 |
| dexxa360 | hi | 19:30 |
| bobo | afterlight: I did and nobody wrote me | 19:30 |
| A1Recon | ikonia: I am getting into this problem because I am choosing to install Ubuntu. So maybe this hasn't got everything to do with Ubuntu....but I thought I could get help here if anyone had ran into this same problem.... | 19:30 |
| ikonia | A1Recon: it doesn't change that you'll need to talk to the vendor/read the info to konw if your bios can boot usb | 19:30 |

| arctann | OerHeks, this was the command : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k conv=notrunc | 19:39 |
| OerHeks | arctann, usually this is used "conv=notrunc,noerror" to avoid an error that is not an error in the way that your command has not finished. | 19:39 |

| jdavis | Any ideas? | 19:55 |
| ikonia | jdavis: sounds like the hard disk is failing if it's resetting like that | 19:55 |

| jdavis | ikonia, I have a btrfs raid1, so in theory it should be safe against this kind of thing. | 19:58 |
| jdavis | ikonia, do you know how to check the status of the raid? | 19:58 |
| ikonia | no it shouldnt | 19:58 |
| jdavis | ikonia, no? | 19:58 |
| jdavis | I mean safe against data loss, not the disk problem itself | 19:59 |
| ikonia | jdavis: have you lost data ? | 19:59 |
| jdavis | I hope not | 19:59 |
| ikonia | then why are you suggesting you've lost data ? | 19:59 |
| jdavis | ikonia, I would just like to know the status of the raid | 20:00 |
| jdavis | ikonia, and I don't really know how to see that with btrfs | 20:00 |
| ikonia | jdavis: why are you using a file system that is not enabled by default and you don't know how to administrate if you don't want to lose daa ? | 20:01 |
| ikonia | data | 20:01 |
| jdavis | ikonia, I have the data backed up. It's not the end of the world if it disappears. But there's only one way I know to learn something, and that's to try it. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | jdavis: ok - so what does the documentation say on how to check the status..... | 20:01 |
| jdavis | ikonia, the documentation is pretty sparse. I was hoping someone here knew. | 20:02 |
| ikonia | jdavis: the documentation is not sparse | 20:02 |
| ikonia | jdavis: and keep in mind you've got a warning that a disk device is not coming up - so if your raid array is trying to sync to a non-existant device, that would be bad | 20:02 |
| ikonia | jdavis: that's just lazy, I've just pulled up the man page in seconds | 20:02 |
| jdavis | I looked in the man page | 20:02 |
| ikonia | which also has links to how to manage volumes and sub volumes | 20:02 |
| jdavis | OK. | 20:03 |
| ikonia | jdavis: have you looked if the physical device is actually available on your system ? | 20:03 |
| jdavis | It is. | 20:03 |
| ikonia | jdavis: how are you verifying that ? | 20:03 |
| Hecter | hi, running commands like git pull, sudo service apache2 restart , command line just hangs. what should i do? | 20:04 |
| pranav1 | me | 20:04 |
| jdavis | ikonia, the devices were renamed since last boot, double checking now. | 20:05 |
| ikonia | jdavis: ok, lost interest now, | 20:05 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Marcos60001: yeah | 20:17 |
| Marcos60001 | SonikkuAmerica: Installing kde-full didn't work either, so i'm gonna try from the software center | 20:18 |

| gordonjcp | much as I hate to ask an opinion question, but - if I want to run Windows and Ubuntu, am I better off dual-booting or will Windows work okay in a VM? | 20:21 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: really depends on what you need/want | 20:22 |
| Marcos60001 | SonikkuAmerica: The thing is, all the packages you suggested me to install through the Terminal depended on other packages, BUT, these packages would not be pulled along in any way possible | 20:22 |

| ikonia | gordonjcp: (roughly) | 20:23 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: don't know | 20:23 |
| gordonjcp | I want to try it out without messing with a running system | 20:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Marcos60001: Good point... | 20:23 |
| IdleOne | gordonjcp: if you plan on doing any cpu intensive stuff on windows, you are better off dual booting IMO | 20:23 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: vm would be resonable for playing around, if you wnat to "use" it, then dual boot it | 20:23 |
| Marcos60001 | SonikkuAmerica: Not even the libraries required would be pulled along | 20:23 |
| gordonjcp | hm | 20:23 |
| gordonjcp | maybe I should just buy another hard disk and do a clean install of Windows | 20:24 |
| gordonjcp | anyway -OT | 20:24 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: not a bad idea. | 20:24 |
| gordonjcp | I know a few people here dual-boot between Ubuntu and Windows | 20:24 |

| crawley | Greetings. I've looked this up to no avail. I'm on Xubuntu 13.10, trying to install compiz. When I run ccsm, I get a segfault after "compizconfig - Info: Profile : Unity" Any ideas? | 20:37 |
| Beldar | crawley, First why compiz in xubuntu? | 20:38 |
| crawley | i dont particularly like unity. | 20:38 |
| yahoojohn | can i ask for support here? | 20:39 |
| thoonai | yahoojohn: yes | 20:39 |
| yahoojohn | i am trying to configure xrdp to my windows machine getting blank screen | 20:39 |
| Beldar | crawley, what has that to do with compiz in xubuntu? | 20:39 |
| === JaydEe is now known as subzeroo | ||
| thoonai | yahoojohn: could you provide more information? | 20:40 |
| crawley | mainly, ccsm is segfaulting on me with Xubuntu 13.10 . It uses the same archives as Ubuntu does. I didnt know if that is a known solution, or if others were having similar issues. | 20:40 |
| thoonai | yahoojohn: probable you got some error log why its not working? | 20:41 |
| yahoojohn | sure i installed xrdp default did not work so followed instruction from net to configure session etc. | 20:41 |
| yahoojohn | however still getting blank screen.. where is the log located | 20:41 |
| Beldar | crawley, All desktops have managers already, what your doing is not really part of support here technically is all. | 20:41 |
| thoonai | yahoojohn: which guide? | 20:42 |
| yahoojohn | askubuntu.com/questions/234856/unable-to-remote-desktop-using-xrdp | 20:43 |
| crawley | So, ubuntu support doesnt support ccsm, which comes directly from the ubuntu repos? | 20:43 |
| yahoojohn | that is how i ended up with xubuntu instead of ubuntu. it is ok though thanks thoonai | 20:43 |
| hFjunky | hello | 20:44 |
| Beldar | crawley, support is within what a distro or release has, not what you want that is not stock unless that is the only option. | 20:45 |
| Spinner_nr1 | how to instal divx ?? | 20:47 |
| Beldar | crawley, This does not mean you will get no support, just a aheads up on the channel norms. | 20:47 |

| thoonai | ok | 20:49 |
| yahoojohn | thoonai: nothing in logs either | 20:49 |

| Beldar | SuperToast, Not sure, I have not had an apple, I would check the sum of what you have. I'm not sure on ppc's releases. | 21:03 |
| daftykins | kevthanewversi: sounds like you have a newish system with windows 8? | 21:03 |
| kevthanewversi | Anyone else had such a problem? | 21:03 |
| daftykins | kevthanewversi: you probably need to boot kubuntu in UEFI mode for it to see the disk setup properly | 21:04 |
| kevthanewversi | daftykins yeah win 8 | 21:04 |
| daftykins | !uefi | 21:04 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

| daftykins | is it a laptop? | 21:07 |
| kevthanewversi | daftykins yeah laptop. | 21:08 |
| daftykins | kevthanewversi: press whichever key it is to enter the setup screen after powering on, there might be device boot options on the boot or exit pages | 21:09 |
| daftykins | typically, a device is listed twice, once for legacy: "Generic USB flash drive" for exmaple, then a second time "UEFI: Generic USB flash drive" | 21:09 |

| daftykins | kevthanewversi: hrmm which kubuntu is it? | 21:12 |
| Beldar | SuperToast, Just a guess, may be a missing graphic driver to run the ubuntu desktop, you familiar with a nomodeset boot, or failsafe X from a recovery? | 21:13 |

| daftykins | kevthanewversi: you're going to need to install and run gparted to partition manually ahead of install | 21:36 |
| kevthanewversi | bekks i don't get why it shows my whole hard disk as free space though. | 21:36 |
| kevthanewversi | daftykins gparted? but I can't run it On the kubuntu 'try kubuntu' option can I? | 21:38 |
| daftykins | kevthanewversi: no reason you can't install a partitioning utility in the live environment | 21:39 |
| kevthanewversi | Okay maybe I can try that. What if g part still doesn't show my windows partitions? daftykins | 21:40 |
| daftykins | kevthanewversi: not sure, but getting there may be fun enough | 21:41 |
| kevthanewversi | daftykins Totally. How about I try that and tell you the results tomorrow man coz it's 1 AM over here. | 21:42 |

| thoonai | how much RAM is recommended for gitlab? | 22:19 |
| thoonai | does 512MB is enough? | 22:19 |
| thoonai | or 1GB? | 22:20 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, Might it be worth fixing this crash problem, is it a graphic crash? | 22:20 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, Can you define "upgrade" as you see it? | 22:21 |
| thoonai | oops wrong channel ;) | 22:22 |
| drscoops_ | going from 12.4 to 13.4 or .10 what ever the new one is | 22:26 |
| drscoops_ | the crash it self is a string of text and it scrolls down for a very long time | 22:27 |
| drscoops_ | it only happens durring update | 22:27 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, 13.04 is end of life, you would pass through it to 13.10. An upgrade of a crashing setup is not a suggested option generally. | 22:31 |
| dami | #ubuntu pl | 22:33 |
| drscoops_ | ok so what do I do | 22:33 |
| dami | #ubuntu.pl | 22:33 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, What I wonder is are you using a proprietary graphic driver? | 22:34 |
| drscoops_ | yes | 22:34 |
| drscoops_ | I think so | 22:34 |
| drscoops_ | I kknow i have a very good graphics card installed to my laptop | 22:34 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, If this is the case they need to be reloaded on kernel upgrades....etc. | 22:34 |
| drscoops_ | it did say some thing about additional drivers | 22:35 |
| drscoops_ | active but not in use | 22:35 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, So how have you installed drivers if you have? | 22:36 |

| daftykins | okt: not sure on that one, the installer is pretty basic | 22:40 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, Anyway, this is not my best area graphics. You have several choices, get some help with 12.04, try a upgrade that may not fix this per-say, or a fresh install. If you fix 12.04 you will have a upgrade to the new lts in april. | 22:41 |
| okt | daftykins: I'll have to give 12.04 a go until 14.04 is released. | 22:41 |
| drscoops_ | how do I fix 12.4 can some one walk me threw it | 22:42 |
| drscoops_ | Did 14. 4 get held up I thought it was coming out in 2013 | 22:44 |
| drscoops_ | like at the end of the year or some thing | 22:44 |
| Beldar | drscoops_, no hold up 4-14 = april | 22:44 |
| drscoops_ | ok | 22:44 |

| unicornjedi | ramiro,you want to check out inkscape. It's amazing | 23:55 |
| gkmngrgn | hello, I couldn't connect to my Ubuntu machine from OSX with ssh. | 23:57 |
| ramiro | unicornjedi: I know inkscape, but I don't want to draw it manually. I want to code it. | 23:57 |
| usr13 | gkmngrgn: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 23:57 |
| gkmngrgn | usr13: yes it's installed and ssh service is started. | 23:58 |
| unicornjedi | ramiro, ooooooh, hmm i wonder if there is a console for inkscape. | 23:58 |
| bbaaxx | ramiro: there should be a compiler for pretty much every single modern programming language, what programming language are you comfortable with ? | 23:59 |
| gkmngrgn | usr13: I tried to connect like "ssh 192.168.1.3", the output is: 22 connection time out. | 23:59 |
