[00:00] otherwise, no alternaltives [00:00] Dell inspiron 2200 [00:00] my laptop can't burn DVDs, so that's out of the question [00:00] FourFire: If you can partition your internal drive and move information to the partition, you could install the 64 bit over the 32 bit... [00:01] alright [00:01] b1g3m: model number is pp10s [00:01] I could do that with Gparted [00:01] ^ [00:01] b1g3m: Dell inspiron 2200 if you didn't catch that [00:01] mobilemeyhem: Give me a few minutes. Let me see if I can dig anything up. Did you install updates, etc? [00:02] 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] I'll google it [00:02] b1g3m: completely. And I tried a few different tutorials on the forums [00:02] 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 [00:03] 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] 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] alright [00:03] rocks: Empathy is great! [00:04] yes but it refuses to connect to icq [00:04] 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] rocks: Works for me. Try resetting your password. That's what I had to do. [00:04] FourFire: That is correct. [00:05] hmm. if it works for you then... i'l try resetting settings [00:05] b1g3m, though I'm confused as to how I install my exact set of programs and utilities into the new OS [00:06] do I just migrate everything outside /Home into the new OS? [00:06] FourFire: You won't be able to get an exact replica because you aren't using the native backup... :( [00:06] How do I pair a Wiimote as a raw HID device? [00:06] mobilemeyhem: You still around? [00:07] 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] How do I do that? [00:07] FourFire: What version of ubuntu? [00:07] b1g3m: yes [00:08] 12.04 [00:08] b1g3m, I have one possibility though [00:09] FourFire: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-copy-file-command/ [00:09] should I try to dual boot with the 64 Bit beta of 14.04? [00:09] mobilemeyhem: Are you duel booted or all lubuntu? [00:09] can I *upgrade* beta 14.04 into full version later? [00:09] b1g3m: no sir [00:10] FourFire: Yes. But I wouldn't use a beta in the process... [00:10] b1g3m, is there a stableish version now? [00:10] I read that feature freeze has happened [00:11] whats up everyone [00:11] :) [00:11] FourFire: 12.04 IMO would be your best bet. [00:11] ok, thanks [00:11] mobilemeyhem: When you plug the adapter in, does anything happen? [00:12] b1g3m: I'll give that a go [00:12] Hi this morning I got my Ubuntu server up and running with help from this channel. We delelted resolv.conf and wrote a new one. But now, after a reboot, the Internet won't connect again. Can anyone suggest how to fix this? [00:13] Hello kingc0der! [00:13] b1g3m: nothing happens when it's plugged in. It's recognized by ndis though [00:13] mobilemeyhem: That's a good sign. One second please! :D [00:14] b1g3m: thanks! [00:15] mobilemeyhem: Take a look at this really quick and let me know if your tried any of it. [00:15] mebilemeyhem: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ndiswrapper-wpa_supplicant-howto/ [00:16] 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 [00:17] so, I just deleted the largest partition on that old HDD which is connected with a USB-SATA adapter [00:17] I did edit the original file in etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d [00:17] what filesystem should I put on it to contain my /Home Directory? [00:17] 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? [00:18] b1g3m, ext4 is fine right? [00:18] FourFire: Yes, sorry was afk... [00:18] or, what is the best filesystem for fast copying of writes? [00:19] jikan - does ps -aux give you enough info [00:19] like, high write throughput? [00:19] 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] FourFire: ext4 will be the fastest. [00:19] Loading* [00:19] ok [00:19] in LICQ does it auto connect after setting up user or do I have to do something special? [00:20] Empathy is still not working for me [00:20] licq has such a confusing inteerface [00:20] 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] ok, will recreating a new partition filesystem take a long time? [00:21] nope, 21 seconds :D [00:21] 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] hey..that's all i got....couldn't have helped you any further === Michael is now known as Guest20005 [00:22] FourFire: How big did you make it?

I have been looking at webcam-server but seems there is no support for ubuntu 13.10 [00:22] b1g3m: I like your style [00:22] mobilemeyhem: Don't know what particular one you need, but there are a bunch on there. [00:22] this drive has an old ubuntu 12.04 partiton on it and it's /Home was encrypted [00:23] mobilemeyhem: I'm working on it... I work deskside support, so normally I have the computer in my hands. Explaining is SOO much harder... LOL [00:23] is there some way I can allow the new 'Data' partition I just made to be written to without booting as that drive? [00:24] FourFire: Yes, but I forget the command. Give me a second. [00:24] :D [00:25] (I like guessing right on which magic things are possible) [00:25] b1g3m: I understand. I'm free same way. I'm actually at work now. Bcm43xxx is the driver set [00:26] FourFire: Can you see the other partition in the file system? [00:26] yes [00:27] You dont happen to know the name of an application which I could use to find out information about other applications via clicking on their window (information such as Application Name, Application Class, etc)?

[00:30] 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 [00:31] 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] I've also MEMTESTed, with no errors [00:31] jakesyl1, what does "set it up from a usb" mean? [00:32] I have a bootable usb i installed using unetbootin [00:32] 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] jakesyl1, Boots to the desktop and you see a install icon? [00:32] yes [00:33] should i ./ the installer [00:33] jakesyl1, Cool, you have a unallocated space for ubuntu? Are there any other OS, if so what exactly? [00:33] windows 8 developer [00:33] jakesyl1, This uefi and if so are you familiar in a install? [00:33] yes when i installed windows 8 do you think it allocated all the space for windows 8? [00:34] How do I pair a Wiimote as a raw HID device? [00:34] not at all [00:35] oh so it connects firmware with the os [00:35] bonafide: in ubuntu? [00:35] does 'make' automatically translate to 'make all'? [00:35] and im assuming i change this in the bios [00:36] 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] 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. [00:37] 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] 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 === Zachary_DuBois|A is now known as Zachary_DuBois [00:38] sudormrf: uniq -u [00:38] bbl gotta get monster this may take a while, i won't respond to whatever you write but i'll read it when i get back [00:38] Jordan_U: that didn't work [00:39] sudormrf: Did you sort the two files using sort first? [00:39] Jordan_U: I tried sort filename | uniq -u and it isn't working [00:40] Jordan_U: when I do that none of the IP addresses show [00:40] sudormrf: That command clearly only acts on one file. [00:40] Jordan_U: right. however in that one file there ARE duplicates and when I use that command it doesn't work. [00:40] so I am looking for alternatives [00:40] sudormrf: Are there non-duplicates? That's what sort -u will print. [00:41] sudormrf: Sorry, what uniq -u will print. [00:42] 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] Jordan_U: but I could be wrong about that [00:42] 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] sed if you're looking for manipulating files in certain line numbers. Forgive if I missed the main point. [00:43] 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. [00:44] sudormrf: Please pastebin an example file containing at least one unique line, for which "sort filename | uniq -u" produces no output. [00:44] hmm if it's after a specific line number you can do a tail [00:44] hmm but that's a known amount of line numbers *after* the line you want. [00:46] b1g3m, you still there? [00:46] 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? [00:48] sudormrf: "tail -n +LineNumber" on the original file, then work from there.

[01:26] Jordan_U: trying to figure this out, don't want to bug you if you aren't around. [01:30] netameta__: check your /var/log files for anything out of the ordinary. [01:30] mostly daemon.lo [01:30] Schultza [01:30] i dont know how it suppsoe to look when its ordinary [01:31] with those logs, look for errors or unauthroized or similiar. whats going on with your computer that makes you think it's hacked? [01:32] well, wordpress doing crazy weird stuff [01:32] its so wierd.. [01:33] i have 2 servers [01:33] i basically took the entier code and ren it on the other server [01:33] No problems [01:33] at all [01:33] wordpress is based on php. Have you talked in the #php channel? [01:33] what problems did the one have? [01:34] i dont know how familiar you are with php or WP so i wont bother you with that, however what' is the php channel ? [01:35] netameta__: /join #php [01:35] netameta__: it is another irc chat channel on this server. [01:35] specific topic on php programming [01:35] Cannot join #php (channel is invite only) [01:35] not sure if there is a wordpress channel or not though [01:36] netameta__: have you registered your nick with the irc server? (nickserv) [01:36] Probably not [01:36] netameta__: that is what is stopping you from joining #php. [01:36] did know i have to [01:37] what problem did WP have one the one server that did not happen on the other server?

[01:39] 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] php syntax error i'd imagine. [01:40] one the php files or configuration files has a syntax error. often overlooked. some lines have to end with a ";" [01:40] I'm assuming it didnt just give a ton of X's for the file name? [01:42] 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] do you think that could be some what unsecure ? [01:43] 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] is public html secure? [01:43] nope [01:43] well.. [01:43] i dont know [01:44] how can i know if its secure ? [01:45] netameta__: just curious, why ubuntu 13.10? I'd highly recommend LTS releases for servers [01:45] no idea i am a beginner i was sure it was ok [01:45] Ben64: any chance you can help me figure out this script? [01:46] sudormrf: if its bash, you should head over to #bash [01:46] Ben64: thanks! [01:46] ben64, i dont think its the issue between the servers as the second one also on 13 [01:47] 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] netameta__: oh yeah, i know thats not related to the issue, just giving you pointers for servering [01:47] what you mean keep on that until 16.04 ? [01:47] netameta__, are you sure you have the latest wordpress and more important latest plugins? [01:47] a lot of server guys would recommend debian stable for a server. [01:48] dont upgrade for every release of ubuntu.. just every LTS release [01:48] latest Wp, no plugins at all, just the one i am working on [01:48] this is not about wordpress [01:48] this is about ubuntu on the versioning [01:48] 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] ubuntu's LTS is designed for server use. [01:48] schultza, >> well, wordpress doing crazy weird stuff [01:49] so you guys recomand going back to 12. LTS ? [01:49] they also receive security updates for 5 years, starting with 12.04, as opposed to the 9 months with non-lts [01:49] no [01:49] wait until the 14.04 release [01:49] netameta__: nah, just be sure to upgrade to 14.04 before july [01:49] i dont really know how to upgrade yet, i will learn by then i guess [01:50] come back in here sometime between april and july :) [01:50] Schultza about my public_html folder when i stat it, i get : [01:50] Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 1000/ ubuntu) Gid: ( 1000/ ubuntu) [01:50] as for your wordpress issue, there is a #wordpress channel, might be better suited for your main question [01:50] or that's not enough to tell you if its secure [01:50] netameta__: try making a copy of your wordpress install directory and re-install it in a new fresh directory [01:50] netameta__: thats fine.. you need RX permissions for public [01:51] thats the last two r-x [01:51] 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] so the above is ok [01:51] yes [01:52] have you compared your working wp with your non-working wp install? [01:52] schultza thanks , then the wp issue is not some freaking hacking, its something i changed i guess. [01:52] yea most of it, [01:52] i think so [01:53] i will retrace then [01:53] hi all, good morning [01:53] bah.. that's wierd been programming for 2 years now, never had an issue like that before [01:53] anyways schultza ben64 and oerheks thanks for the help [01:54] How do I rename an EHDD via the command line?

I used Easy [04:13] 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] I can't... I don't have moka theme [04:14] Radon_3: use the install disk to chroot into your install and run install-grub again with the right partition [04:14] Radon_3: you'll need to mount /proc /sys and /dev after you chroot [04:15] hi guys [04:16] Caelum: can you give me a step by step tutorial somewhere how I should do that?

I had to use Pause/Break key to read it, and then it gives me grub> and then nothing [04:19] ok [04:20] so it can't find the kernel [04:20] yeap :( [04:20] Ummm.. [04:20] I think in the boot block you edit when you press 'e' you can tell it where the kernel is [04:20] slipttees, reboot and login to the previous kernel [04:21] isn't this 'e' thingy only available when you actually see the boot menue of grub? [04:21] hold tab when grub is booting so it gives you the menu [04:21] then press e on the kernel entry [04:21] ooooh, amazing, didn't know about it.... [04:21] ok [04:21] I'm going to do that [04:23] I installed gnome tweak tool but I can't see moka theme at "themes" [04:23] ah crap it's actually shift [04:23] :s [04:23] ¿Algún mexicano?

[04:29] hi all again, the tab holding didn't work [04:29] Radon_3: sorry I told you the wrong key, it's actually shift [04:29] Radon_3: I got confused because it's tab on the install cd [04:29] Ok, so what exactly happens if I hold the tab key for so long? [04:29] Cause I did? [04:29] hii [04:30] nothing it's shift [04:30] okay. i will try [04:30] ok, I'm going again [04:30] tnk a lot [04:30] So you sure this time?

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"? [10:00] updating != upgrading [10:01] normaly you can to like every day some security updates, or new versions of software will be updated [10:01] with an upgrade you would upgrade the whole system (ubuntu) [10:02] subz3r0, actually, what I'm trying to solve is the fact that I cannot open ed2k links with my version of Firefox. [10:02] no idea what ed2k links are [10:03] Edonkey is still alive? Wow. [10:03] 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] 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] edsk links are somethings related to aMule. [10:04] Voyager82: whats the meaning of "old computer" to you? [10:04] I think it's a Pentium IV. [10:04] Ram? [10:04] How do see my current hardware on Linux? [10:05] lshw [10:05] 測試 [10:06] My CPU is an AMD Semptron. [10:06] how fast? how much ram? [10:06] >2 gigs should work with new version without any issues. but you can have a look on Lubuntu or Xubuntu aswell [10:06] I can't see the Ram is listed. [10:07] after adding a user to a group, I still get permission denied error, yet the file is g+rwx [10:07] do I need to logout and login again? [10:07] However, I had installed a "new" version of Ubuntu a couple of years ago, and it got "very" slow. [10:08] 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] 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] Voyager82: ofc you can. Its up to you which distro you choose [10:08] Hi [10:08] I like plain debian, too :) [10:08] How can I reset the inkscape settings? [10:08] Any ideas? [10:09] subz3r0, what line of the program that you gave me lists the amount of RAM I have? [10:09] cristian_c: delete the .inkscape directory? [10:09] cristian_c: in your homedir [10:09] cristian_c: ~/.inkscape? [10:09] gordonjcp, does it work? [10:09] cristian_c: does what work? [10:09] --> /home/youruser/.inkscape [10:10] cristian_c: why not backing it up and try it? [10:10] ok [10:10] yeah [10:10] i dont use inkscape, but i would try it that way [10:10] mv ~/.inkscape ~/.inkscape.old [10:10] Subo1977, it doesn't exist [10:10] it'll be there somewhere [10:10] *subz3r0, [10:11] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Preferences_subsystem [10:11] there u go [10:11] ok [10:12] it depends of the version you use. so check that website [10:12] oh the problem was that I was inside a tmux session [10:13] I am having some problems with my ubuntu server, i've got several websites and they all seem to load incredible slow or they are not even loading at all. I tried looking in logs (apache and mysql) but i cant find anything usefull. What can i do to troubleshoot this? [10:13] Also my ubuntu server wont reboot with reboot anymore, this could be related [10:16] Eagleman: well.. i normaly start with layer 1 when network issues start to happen :) [10:16] subz3r0 a few of my other sites load fine [10:16] on the same host [10:16] routing? [10:16] do a ping and tracert === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [10:17] traceroute... [10:17] D: [10:17] ok, it works [10:17] thanks [10:17] cristian_c: you're welcome [10:17] subz3r0 it not really usefull to ping and traceroute since they are behind a firewall with port forwarding, the values are fine [10:18] subz3r0 i think this problem is at the application layer [10:18] Eagleman: youre talking about websites which are reachable from the net? [10:18] subz3r0 yes [10:18] so why should a traceroute not work then? [10:18] you can see the hops to that site and the latency... [10:18] becuase it stops at my router and not the site [10:19] Thank you. See you some other time. [10:20] subz3r0 yeh it all seems fine [10:20] Eagleman: so youre router is blocking outgoing connections? [10:20] your [10:21] subz3r0 no incoming [10:21] but port 80/443 are forwarded to the ubuntu server [10:21] normaly just incoming is blocked due nat. but well... depends on your setup [10:23] 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 [10:24] subz3r0 the issue is also there if i connect from inside the network [10:24] my centos webserver seems to be working fine [10:25] now when I try to do mount /media/share I get, as root > mount error(13): Permission denied [10:25] Eagleman: Did you disable the firewall? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [10:26] bekks just did [10:27] Looks like static pages work fine, but not pages with php/mysql [10:27] then your webserver setup is pretty broken. [10:27] Eagleman: that makes no sense, it must be a broken webserver [10:27] i suspect so [10:27] maybe have a look on the system workload too [10:28] no high cpu load, 500mb free memory of the 4GB === tcpman is now known as Guest90645 [10:28] How i can get "numpad mouse" working in xubuntu [10:28] Eagleman: then it is a broken webserver. [10:29] anything i can do to fix that? [10:29] Eagleman: fix the webserver [10:29] yeh thats the problem xD [10:29] Eagleman: my car doesn't work, what's wrong with it? [10:29] Eagleman: It is an centos webserver - so its not an ubuntu issue. [10:29] bekks wait what [10:30] its an ubuntu webserver [10:30] hello. how safe a command is sudo apt-get removeall [10:30] i just said thats its working fine on centos [10:30] Eagleman: Ah sorry, I just read that again. [10:30] Eagleman: without giving us a bit more to go on, it's pretty much impossible to say [10:30] Eagleman: does the web server work when you connect to it locally? [10:30] i dont have anymore to go on, there is nothing in the loggs... [10:30] gordonjcp it also laggs sometimes [10:31] ezrhino: Very safe, because the is no such option "removeall". [10:31] ugh, im sorry, the one that goes with cleanall? [10:31] Eagleman: that's not really enough to go on [10:31] ezrhino: Very safe, because the is no such option "cleanall". [10:31] ezrhino: Please refer to "man apt-get" for valid options. [10:31] cam you tell me the one im thinking og ? [10:32] gordonjcp try http://www.jrpoot.eu/ [10:32] ezrhino: I dont know what you are thinking of, so you have to read the man page. [10:32] and then www.jrpoot.eu/tng/ [10:32] ok ty === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob === makije|away is now known as makije [10:33] how safe is sudo apt-get autoemove ? lol [10:34] ezrhino: Define "how safe". [10:34] Eagleman: seems to work, a bit slow on large images maybe [10:34] wont case issues for noob [10:34] ezrhino: What do you really want to know? [10:34] gordonjcp the tng link to? [10:34] ezrhino: It may break your system. [10:34] Eagleman: the what? [10:34] ty! [10:34] www.jrpoot.eu/tng/ [10:34] Eagleman: it seems to work [10:35] try clicking some links on the left side [10:35] this is what i needed to know thanks, bekks [10:35] Eagleman: Then investigate the logs of your webserver [10:35] bekks like i said there is nothing there [10:35] how i can add option to my keyboard settings that i can use numpad like mouse. previous xubuntu had it. [10:35] Eagleman: ... and now it doesn't [10:35] Eagleman: Then enable logging, if there are no logs. [10:36] Eagleman: to assist you with your diagnosis, my IP address is 2.24.241.107 [10:36] or is there config file what i can edit? [10:37] Eagleman: yeah, the tng link is the last thing I clicked and is definitely no longer working [10:37] apache error.log is not showing anything related with tng [10:37] Eagleman: it's just timing out [10:37] gordonjcp yeh thats the issue, nothing in the apache logs [10:37] Eagleman: The apache error log is not the only log. There is an access log, and hopefully a php log, too. [10:37] access.log is emtpy [10:38] Eagleman: why is /tng different? [10:38] Eagleman: Then enable logging, since we access /tng [10:38] Eagleman: what's the difference between that path and anything else? [10:38] gordonjcp its working with php/mysql [10:38] Eagleman: Check the php db connection, check php erorrs, check db access. [10:38] ciao a tutti [10:39] Eagleman: then you haven't got that part working correctly [10:40] but my wordpress/roundcube applications work fine, which also work with php/mysql [10:43] how to change drwxrwx--- for read/write others? chmod o+w seems to fail [10:43] dsl2: for writing into a directory, you need x and r as well. [10:46] bekks, i dont understand the logic behind that [10:47] dsl2: a directory needs x for accessing it, r for reading the content, and w for being able to write/change content. [10:50] bekks, chmod +x doesnt make a change, nothing changes... [10:51] ok i found it. Under accessibility, there is mouse tab [10:51] dsl2: reag again what I wrote please.

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

[12:04] gordonjcp, hope wasn't a bad joke :) [12:05] as for dd, the wiki still says that wiped disks can be recovered via specialized tech. [12:05] if it exists, nsa must sure have it, right?

Anyone? [13:17] 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] 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. [13:19] c2tarun: thats unlikely [13:20] Malsasa: what is a "dpkg status file"? [13:20] csrgxtu make sure no partitions are 100% full [13:21] c2tarun ^^^^^^ [13:21] Walex, yup but its happening. after entering password from UI i am getting black screen and directed back to login screen [13:21] c2tarun: that's not what you said previously. [13:22] guys, I've added apt sources for postgresql, and now when I do apt-get update I'm getting "W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/", even though I've added just a single line [13:22] Walex: a very important file located at you /var/lib/dpkg/ directory. [13:22] MonkeyDust, yes my home and root partitions are 50% empty [13:22] darthdeus: And still, there is a duplicate in your sources. [13:22] Walex, sorry for not able to frame question properly [13:22] darthdeus, pastebin its contents [13:22] but i don't have it in any other sources.list [13:23] deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main === Dureiken_ is now known as Dureiken [13:23] Anyone know why this might appear in the log: Fatal error: isCachedFileModified: Missing file:Airports/apt.dat.gz [13:23] darthdeus: What is that "precise-pgdg"? [13:23] bekks: from here http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt [13:23] darthdeus, try changing "precise-pgdg" to just "precise " [13:23] Walex, any suggestions? [13:23] Malsasa: you may misunderstand how DPKG works, and what is the role of the 'status' files. [13:24] hmm it seems that i somehow have the packages in my list even if i remove the list [13:24] c2tarun: what's happening is that you are able to login, but then your "session" dies and your are logged out. [13:24] Walex: do you know apt-web? apt-web use the dpkg status file. [13:24] darthdeus, ? [13:24] Walex, how can I fix this? [13:24] 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? [13:25] c2tarun: so from the terminal you should look at the session logs, usually '~/.xsession-errors' === root is now known as Guest85202 [13:25] is there some other place i can look besides /etc/apt/sources.list.d/? [13:25] c2tarun: or from the console you can run 'startx -- :1' and see what happens. [13:25] 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. [13:26] kostkon: also getting 404 if i remove the pgdg, so i guess that's not it [13:26] darthdeus, maybe in your /etc/apt/sources.list? [13:26] kostkon: lol you're right, it's in there :D [13:26] sorry for being dumb [13:26] 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] it didn't occur to me to check there [13:27] darthdeus, np [13:27] hi all :) i'm fuzzing an application and sometimes it ends up requesting huge amounts of memory from my system, at which point it becomes nearly unusable (came very close this time to doing a cold reboot!) what can i do to protect myself against this kind of situation, especially when i'm not expecting it? [13:28] Walex, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7055746/ please take a look at my .xsession-errors file [13:30] Walex: the main point is maybe you don't know about apt-web. Look at https://github.com/fajran/apt-web and see the implementation of it on http://apt-web.ntb.linux.or.id/. Read the readme of apt-web, that is whay i need status file for each distro to provide it. Thank you. [13:30] any one have a GeForce 8200M G?

I tried to set the resolution back with xrandr, but it seems to think I have a 4:3 monitor. [13:34] Do I need to revert back to the old video driver or something? [13:35] 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] 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] tendi esse canal eh so ingles blz to saindo foi mal [13:35] 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] 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] 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] 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? [13:36] 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] 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. === Dureiken_ is now known as Dureiken [13:37] Walex: cannot download it? Even in Ubuntu source code? Okay, it that is true, then I will stop. [13:37] 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. [13:38] 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] !mini|Malsasa, [13:38] 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] 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] Malsasa: a liveUSB is an *installed* system. [13:39] Walex: okay, understand. So no download place for "virgin" status files? [13:39] Malsasa: one that contains a specific set of packages, and whichever they are is recorded in 'status'. [13:39] Walex: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7055804 , please take a look at this file. [13:39] Walex: i know the function of it. So thank you to let me know. [13:40] Walex: I am not able to see anything wrong in this file. [13:40] 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. [13:41] 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] Walex: again, thank you for your help. [13:41] cfhowlett: and thank you for you too, Sir. [13:44] 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 was hinting [13:45] 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] I'm trying to setup a printer since months on ubuntu, I first tought the printer itself wasn't working, but I've found this tutorial and did the exact same thing (see at 5:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYC8hWqDS-Y) so mecanicly it's working, I don't know why I can't run it with ubuntu, I've tried an installation through the visual interface, I've installed the driver from epson website,... [13:45] ...I've tried cups, I don't know what to do.... please help me === fsck is now known as help [13:46] bibi234: the only thing is CUPS really and not all printers are supported under CUPS. === Th3U1timat3 is now known as UltimateNate [13:46] Walex: just a curious question, how did you know that I need old one. There was no timestamp in that file. === help is now known as Guest72995 === Guest72995 is now known as fsck === fsck is now known as inxi [13:47] c2tarun_: also have a look at the kernel messages with 'dmesg | less' towards the end or '/var/log/syslog' [13:48] good morning from the east coast. (usa) [13:48] 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] My apologies. [13:48] toyimp: ;) [13:49] Walex: so it can work without cups? I've seen on some forums people doing ' echo "print this text" > /dev/xxx ' to print [13:49] =) [13:49] can't* [13:49] Walex: here is old log file. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7055862 and here is last 100 lines of dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/7055869 === inxi is now known as cypher-neo [13:51] bibi234: sometimes, very rarely, printers have can do that. But just use CUPS. [13:53] is ubuntu switching to systemd? :D [13:54] Walex: yes again, thank you for good attention. [13:55] who can help me to install flash on ubuntu 12.04?plss [13:55] hello [13:55] !info flash [13:55] Package flash does not exist in saucy [13:56] !info adobe flash [13:56] 'flash' is not a valid distribution: extras, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, quantal, quantal-backports, quantal-proposed, raring, raring-backports, raring-proposed, saucy, saucy-backports, saucy-proposed, stable, testing, trusty, trusty-backports, trusty-proposed, unstable [13:56] ASL??

Thanks MonkeyDust [13:57] c2tarun: the X server logs and 'dmesg' don't show any crash, perhaps they still don't refer to a session that crashed. Your '.xession-errors' shows very clearly a problem with the X server, as in "Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0" but not clear why it happens. [13:57] thnx toyimp [13:57] where do you live? [13:57] Walex: :( So any suggestions besides formatting and reinstalling? [13:58] user1 #ubuntu-offtopic for nice social chat, please [13:58] 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] Walex: how can I do emergency/recovery login? [13:58] c2tarun: reformatting/reinstalling is always wrong with GNU/Linux. GNu/Linux systems with a robust package management don't get corrupted. [13:59] c2tarun: in the login form in one of the corners somewhere. [13:59] c2tarun: I don't use it, so I don't know where it is. [14:01] 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? [14:02] this driver is for the same model I have so it looks correct [14:02] bibi234: restart CUPS to be sure 'sudo service cups restart' and then list available printers with 'lpstat -a' [14:03] bibi234: but note also that an Impact Dot Printer may be one of the few types that does not need a driver. [14:04] bibi234: asking good questions giving context is a nice skill to have :-) [14:04] c2tarun: the "emergency" thing should be in the list of desktop environment you can choose on the login screen. [14:04] bibi234, test print [14:05] c2tarun: http://linuxlookup.com/files/imagecache/800x600/ubuntu_11.10_login.png [14:06] 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] bibi234: then you have installed the printer driver but you need to define the printer to use that driver... [14:07] bibi234: so use the procedure the add a new CUPS printer, and when it asks which driver choose the right one. [14:09] bibi234: or connect to 'http://localhost:631/' to double check [14:09] 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] bibi234: you used CUPS without knowing... [14:09] 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. [14:10] 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] bibi234: depending on the printer type, you have to configure it manually, it does not get autodetected. [14:10] 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. [14:11] bibi234: again, providing essential context when asking questions is a skill that is nice to have. [14:11] Walex: yes exactly! this is a serial port, I've bought a special cable to plug to usb, is it ok? [14:12] 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. [14:13] bibi234: try a web search like "ubuntu cups add printer dot matrix serial port" [14:14] Walex, Hi, reinstalling ubuntu-desktop did the trick for me. Any suggestions on how to ensure that this doesn't happen again? [14:15] 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] adaptater* [14:15] ok I'll search this [14:15] c2tarun: if that fixed the crash then perhaps some file got corrupted after all, and that may mean disk errors. [14:15] 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? [14:16] Walex, disk errors? I think disk errors should get reported when system starts. [14:17] c2tarun: VirtualBox kernel driver has lots of issues too... [14:17] 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] Walex, hmmm... so there is no safe way to learn how to install archlinux :( [14:21] 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] darthdeus: install hte dependencies ? [14:21] i do have them installed [14:21] it just somehow broke [14:21] let me share the errors [14:21] 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. [14:22] darthdeus: if theres unmet dependencies then they're not there. [14:22] c2tarun: anyhow the Linux native virtual environments are QEMU/KVM and UML and they are much safer than VirtualBox. [14:22] http://i.imgur.com/2HuyPVf.png [14:22] Walex, Thanks for advice. I'll look into both QEMU and KVM [14:22] SirLagz: well i didn't really change anything, it just somehow broke :X [14:23] i didn't uninstall anything [14:23] and it worked before [14:23] c2tarun: but that's not necessarily why your X sessions started crashing. [14:23] darthdeus: you need to upgrade postgresql-9.1 [14:23] SirLagz: but if i do sudo apt-get upgrade postgresql-9.1 it doesn't work [14:23] Walex, hmmm.... anyway right now I am trying to understand boot configuration for arch. So next experimentation might take a while. [14:24] http://i.imgur.com/AGbNgzs.png [14:25] darthdeus: mixing repositories is not necessarily a good idea... [14:26] darthdeus: also, learning to use Aptitude and looking at dependencies and conflicts with it might be good. === toastcfh_ is now known as toastcfh [14:29] Walex: what do you mean by mixing repositories? [14:30] i just added the source to upgrade to a newer version [14:30] darthdeus: have you tried also upgrading postgresql-client-9.1 at the same time ? [14:32] yeah [14:32] darthdeus: you are using both the Ubuntu and PostgreSQL repos at the same time, and the packages are built in a slightly different way... [14:33] 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] that should fix it right? [14:33] darthdeus: probably yes. [14:33] darthdeus: at least a step in the right direction. [14:35] 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 [14:37] darthdeus: the software is usually identical (but for different sets of patches...) but the packaging can be quite different. === Kryptron_ is now known as Kryptron [14:41] hi [14:42] I am new to ubuntu I want to setup a dhcp server , any ideas where to start [14:43] !server|freenide, [14:43] freenide,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[14:53] i get the grub menu, i can get its' command line, it can *see* the usb stick [14:53] ok. you should partition your haard disk [14:53] i thought you could issue a command to boot it [14:53] yeah [14:53] i do have space on the windows partition [14:53] you could use a command [14:54] i could make another ubuntu install in a new partition :) - is it possible to do that from windows ? [14:54] ok just flash Kali Linux [14:54] it has grub 1 [14:54] Deactivating smooth scrolling makes it better, but even then the scrolling is laggy compared to Chrome/Chromium [14:54] hey where is actionparsnip [14:55] then navigate through kali and flash the ubuntu partition. once done, flash ubuntu again and see if it will work [14:55] whats 'kali' [14:55] at least thats how i solved most of my ubuntu boot problems [14:56] http://www.kali.org/ [14:56] except probably your hdd is /ro [14:56] i get options in grub for recovery mode [14:56] Kali is the revised version of Backtrack [14:57] A penetration testing Linux distro [14:57] I can't believe I have to use non-free software to be able to browse the web.

[15:09] cfhowlett: well they are 2 different server, so not sure if thats local or mirror === Guest29174 is now known as RickyB98 [15:09] netameta__, no I was suggesting you might to set up a local mirror - point your other server to your local mirror and update/upgrade/install away ... [15:10] i have a preety disturbing issue with my ubuntu. It stoped playing sound [15:11] no audio at all [15:11] i have another desktop i can try creating the startup disk on [15:11] i've checked if identifies the soundcard and it does. [15:11] cfhowlett, will i dont know really how to even get the whole package out really , i mean when you install it, doesnt it usually put files in registry like windows ? [15:11] well* [15:12] 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 ? [15:13] netameta__, not really. I'm going to have to pass though as I'm not qualified to give a meaningful explanation [15:13] netameta__: what is wrong with apt-get install php5 and friends [15:13] trying to purge, uninstall and install all modules but seem like the ubuntu script for doing it is different from the version of linux i'm familiar with any help [15:13] 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. [15:14] 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 [15:15] jamesd, and since i am not sure what is installed on the first server(which workd great) i thought maybe i could duplicate it.

For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [15:41] :o [15:41] LOL one day they are going to take away legacy mode I am going to actually have to deal with uefi crap! :P [15:43] One question, how do I use grep to search a string that has postfixes? for example string is "hello" and i want "hello1" and etc. to appear in the result [15:44] DBoyz: use a regular expression [15:44] or maybe even blob [15:45] Hi guys, I have bad sectors on my old HDD. it is 120GB and I am trying to turn it into an Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS server primarily for minecraft. I only need like 10GB of the 120 to do this. How can I quarantine my bad sectors and continue using the healthy parts of the HDD? [15:45] so like $ cat file | grep 'hello*' [15:45] i'm not familiar with regular expression. will "hello*" work? [15:46] blobs sound lie they would work for this case [15:46] Noah_AT: Dont do that, your disk is about to die entirely. [15:46] so yes [15:48] Noah_AT: there is a chance your disk will fail entirely, but if you really want to do this I think badblocks is what you're looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badblocks [15:48] Noah_AT: its not free but spinrite is one of the best things since sliced bread for spindle drives that aren't clicking [15:49] 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. [15:50] nope doesn't seem to work [15:50] 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] Mdh: Like i said, all I've got to lose are some Minecraft files lol [15:50] DBoyz: need more input to help [15:51] lol nothing like working hard on a script to find that there is already a program that does what you want for you [15:52] 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 [15:53] 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] DBoyz: grep hello file(s) [15:53] 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 [15:54] i'm interested in grep-ing a directory though [15:54] DBoyz: I understand taht but how are you consuming the string? is it a file? from a socket connection? [15:54] grep will only match lines as well so if you have multiple hello's on the same line it will only show it once [15:55] without knowing what you are trying to do it is almost impossible to help\ [15:55] DBoyz: ls -l | grep helllo [15:55] 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 [15:56] 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] i would like to have strings such as "hello1" and "hello2" to appear in my search result too [15:57] DBoyz: grep hello file1 file2 file3 or file* [15:57] well if they are all in the same directory you can do something like this: [15:57] $grep 'hello*' *.txt [15:58] Noah_AT: fsck should do what you are after [15:58] ah [15:58] thanks, that worked, tmwsiy_ [15:59] 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? [16:00] yeik: It remains mounted until the user is logged out / the last user process is terminated. [16:00] DBoyz: np happy to help [16:00] bekks, that is what i thought, so why is ssh showing that it cant read the authorized key file unless i have a session open? [16:00] my idiot brother quick formatted my laptop to ntfs, what are the chances of restoring my linux filesystem? [16:01] c0p3rn1c, reinstall [16:01] c0p3rn1c, if you haven't done anything else with it, you might be able to use testdisk to restore the old partition information. [16:01] ok nice === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy [16:01] yeik: Then the process you assumed to be running isnt running anymore. [16:02] bekks, it is a screen process with several other processes running in it. i am sure they are all running. [16:06] tmwsiy_: problem is, yesterday I ran "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" from inside my ubuntu-server installation. Now I can't even boot from CD. I'm getting an error "No boot sector on internal hard drive" [16:07] Noah_AT: Then it isnt even tryin to boot from a cd. [16:07] bekks: over to the BIOS then? [16:08] Noah_AT: if you did that then you are likely hosed brother [16:08] 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 [16:09] 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 [16:10] Noah_AT good plan [16:11] Noah_AT: you dont need any reports, you need to boot an install CD. [16:11] bekks: for ubuntu? [16:11] Noah_AT: If you want to install Ubuntu, sure. [16:11] bekks: How do I know the dd worked? Is that enough to fix my bad sectors issue? [16:12] hey need some help with VM VirtualBox [16:12] Noah_AT: dd never fixed bad sector problems. You just killed everything on your laptop, but you did not fix anything at all. [16:12] Can anyone advise how to 'Restore EFI Backup' in boot-repair in the current version of the software? [16:13] askubuntu will haev he answers and code you need surely? high_fiver [16:13] anonygonzo: How about asking your specific question? :) [16:13] bekks: ha! great... - _ - not that I care about killing everything on my laptop.. but I guess thats a good place to start. Alright, you say to install, but when I do I'll be installing on bad sectors. Do I solve my bad sector issue from within the ubuntu installation? [16:14] hey bekks when my laptop screen is by its self the resolution is on 1280 x 800 (16:10) and it doesnt need to be rotated but when i plug in a vga monitor it wants me to trotate it clockwise or counterclockwise [16:14] Noah_AT: You bad sector problem can be solved by replacing your harddrive. [16:14] basketball: And....? [16:14] anonygonzo: erm nope [16:14] how do i fix it bekks [16:14] bekks: of course, but I'm trying to avoid that and learn some strategies to manage bad sectors rather than jumping ship [16:15] 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] Hello, all.

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. [16:28] in attempting to install ubuntu dual boot with win 7, i see it says "install ubuntu inside win7" i was expecting it to say "beside win 7" what does it mean by "inside win7"?

Are there any errors in the syslog? [16:56] http://pastebin.com/QQt0e6U2 [16:57] dhcpd.conf ^ [16:57] Yes in syslog I get the following : Not configured to listen on any interfaces! [16:57] shashank are you trying to pxe boot? [16:57] how do i find out what video chip i have and what main board [16:58] No subnet declaration for eth0 (no IPv4 addresses).\ [16:58] yes. [16:58] basketball lspci [16:59] tmwsiy_, yes I am trying to pxe-boot... [17:00] shashank: have you got an INTERFACES="eth0" in /etc/default/dhcp3-server [17:01] basketball: GPU: lspci | grep VGA ; Motherboard: sudo lshw [17:02] tmwsiy_, i guess u are talking about /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server [17:02] and if that's the case, YES I have that in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server... [17:03] and i do not have any file like /etc/default/dhcp3-server ..!! [17:03] shashank: forgot you said isc that is what I am talking about [17:04] are there logs for the server in /etc or /var? That error message you cited seems like what I was pointing out [17:05] the logs are in syslog. [17:06] gr33n7007h: Hi.. I've just acquired an LG LS50a laptop. Its running an intel celeron 1.2-1.5ghz processor. When i try to install xubuntu 13.10, I receive an error message saying "error setting up gfxboot" I then type in "help" and am given a help index. 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] re? [17:06] !pae [17:06] 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 [17:07] 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] from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/isc-dhcp-server [17:07] that has to be it [17:10] tmwsiy_, but I have assigned a static ip to my interface eth0 in my interfaces file.!!! [17:10] no..!! [17:11] shashank: dude you sure are pissy with some stranger is just tyring to help [17:12] Guest21357: still there? [17:12] daftykins: yes im still here. [17:12] tmwsiy_, no dude.!! [17:12] I am just asking! [17:13] Guest21357: you'll want to try again downloading an i386 ISO and install from that to avoid the lack of PAE issue [17:13] hi [17:13] Guest21357, you DID download directly from ubuntu, right? [17:13] I followed this link here : http://www.howtoforge.com/linux-basics-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu [17:14] Guest21357: which version were you trying? i found talk of the long term support v12.04 release definitely being non-PAE in its' i386 edition [17:14] im wondering about the new 14.04 release... where can i edit the encrypted installation? create a lvm choose encryption etc... [17:14] !trusty | guest4745757575 [17:14] guest4745757575: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 [17:14] daftykins: ok cool. I am running xubuntu 13.10 on my current system and am now attempting to install it via disk onto my said laptop. [17:15] daftykins, well even with older not beta versions it is not possible it seems... [17:15] !google [17:15] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:15] tmwsiy_, thr dude!! [17:15] guest4745757575: i somewhat doubt that, that's what the live environment is for [17:16] hi [17:16] shashank: I guess you are using !!'s as ??'s ?? [17:17] yes, sorry. [17:17] Hey guys, "badblocks -nv /dev/sda is writing a bunch of numbers. Are these bad blocks or just the ones it has checked? [17:17] daftykins, live environement? I just want to create a encrypted lvm on one partition as i allways did... [17:17] i have a problem with installing rails on my ubuntu. Always receive :"Could not found Gemfile", Can you help me? [17:17] so any idea what more should I try?? [17:18] shashank: I really don;t know, the errors you are describing sound like the dhcp server does not know which interface to listen for requests on [17:18] guest4745757575: i'm sure there are tonnes of guides online. but like i say, if you're going to be doing it with trusty, #ubuntu+1 is where to talk. it doesn't matter what you think is common or not [17:19] when i go to make resolution 1200 x 800 why does it want me to rotate screen [17:19] So, where else should I give static ip to eth0??? [17:19] daftykins: so should I go to ubuntu.com and download the xubuntu 12.04 i386 version? [17:20] hi everybody i have a problem i have 12.04 lts and i download mailru cloud application but i cant run with which program i can run it? [17:20] Guest21357: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ [17:20] Guest21357: no you can try 13.10 32-bit [17:21] shashank_: That tutorial you followed is not working, if you have the normal Ubuntu installation. Instead go to 'network' -> 'edit connections', and set 'Method' to 'Manual' in 'IPv4 Settings'. [17:23] ey [17:23] hello i am runing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS behind the NAT on VM's . My problem is that, I am unable to download any package from apt-get http://pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC kindly help me Thank you. [17:23] l [17:23] kkk [17:25] who here can help me with some dpkg problems [17:25] just. ask. [17:26] hello i am runing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS behind the NAT on VM's . My problem is that, I am unable to download any package from apt-get http://pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC kindly help me Thank you. [17:27] dextor__: are you 100% sure all online connectivity is good with that VM? [17:28] ok... i have all ton of .deb files. now i want to install only one package from this mess. but this package has a lot of dependencies. so if i run 'dpkg -i package*.deb' the dependencies dont get installed automatically. is this normal? if so, how can i install the depndencies as well. i dont want to all the packages just the one + its dependencies. [17:29] daftykins: Yes. 100% Because I am sharing my information via freenode.webchat [17:29] daftykins: Yes. 100% Because I am sharing my information via freenode.webchat, which is on VM. [17:30] fa7ad, dpkg -i somepackage.deb then apt-get -f install should install the dependancies I think [17:30] but the problem is i dont want to re download them [17:31] i already have them in the folder and my net is slow [17:31] minimec, that too is not working..!! [17:31] any more solution??? [17:31] any more solution??? [17:31] fa7ad: Install 'gdebi' and do 'gdebi yourpackage.deb' That will resolv all dependencies. [17:31] ok will try [17:32] 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] shashank_: Di you enter the desired IP and Gateway in 'Adresses'? That should do... [17:33] didnt work with gdebi [17:33] gonna have to settle with apt-get -f install [17:33] 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 [17:34] fa7ad: Did it show the missing dependency? Personally I would not(!) 'apt-get -f install'. [17:34] it said broken cache [17:34] Where do rsyslog put log messages from iptables on 13.10? [17:34] but lucky for me most of the big files installed with dpkg [17:35] so only some 30 md to download [17:35] why is this spf record not valid http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=spf%3adatinggegevens.nl&run=toolpage [17:35] mb* [17:35] what channel is best to ask this, couldnt think of oen [17:35] fa7ad: Can you first 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' before using gdebi once? [17:35] already done that [17:37] When I use the nVidia drivers all I get on TTY is a black screen. But when I use the x-server drivers it works wonderful and high resolution. Where can I look to get more info on fixing this? Been checking google all morning. [17:37] xangua, did that, cheers. But transmission still won't open. Any other idea? [17:37] johan_: can you open transmission? [17:38] or just doesn't open when you select the magnet file? [17:38] xangua, Yes sir. I have it open right now. [17:38] johan_: no idea, this is easy peasy for me [17:38] xangua, now it works! Thx =) [17:38] ooh ok [17:39] minimec, do u know any ppa for 'apt-fast' script? [17:40] i've a synaptics touchpad with a small dimple that would allow me, in windows, to toggle the device on or off, which does not work in Ubuntu. Is there a program that will repeat back the event code of me trying to tap the dimple part to turn it off? [17:40] fa7ad: https://launchpad.net/~apt-fast/+archive/stable [17:40] fa7ad: Nope. Never used that software. [17:41] its kinda simple, it just downloads apt packages using axel instead of curl or wget [17:41] hello i am runing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS behind the NAT on VM's . My problem is that, I am unable to download any package from apt-get http://pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC kindly help me Thank you. [17:42] fa7ad: Thats not true. It doesnt use axel, it uses aria2. [17:43] fa7ad: Ancient versions did use axel, current version supports aria2 only. [17:44] anyways better than normal [17:44] dextor__ change NAT to bridged, in the VM's settings [17:44] last time i used it was ages ago [17:44] screen caps turn up black when i press print http://imgur.com/a/DWels (anybody have a fix or know what's going on?) [17:44] then i couldnt find it anywhere [17:45] Is it true that they will start charging DVC for using Ubuntu?

[17:46] dextor__ NAT to bridged is the solution, find a way to achieve that [17:47] MonkeyDust: I have try tht, but unable to connect to the internet, as my ISP provide singal IP for one account. [17:48] dextor__ with bridged, your VM get's an IP address from the router's range, not from the ISP [17:49] i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, and once i chroot to the "new build" and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, or try apt-get purge whoopsie, whoopsie breaks down the whole build, and i can't do anything further....

[17:58] thanks MonkeyDust [17:58] My networking service is not running? [17:58] melt7777: is the init script there.... [17:58] can any1 help? [17:59] 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] dextor__ it looks like wlan0 is the culprit, it's not the VM [17:59] 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] 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] melt7777: /etc/defaut/whoopsie is worthless, that error is complaining about the init script [18:00] guys anybody has the download link for libimobiledevice 1.1.6 ? [18:00] minimec: there is no need for the interfaces file - that is why network manager is there [18:00] i understand but i just wanted to provide all troubleshooting information [18:00] it was a git build.. it fixed some ios 7 errors [18:00] ikonia: Exactly. That's where I am confused. THX :) But his network service is not starting @boot. Why could that be. [18:00] minimec, both the lones shud be thr? [18:01] *lines [18:01] minimec: can network manager see the interface, eg: can you configure the interface through network manager ? [18:01] hey folks. i have a huge problem. No idea what happened but it seems i have fucked my x server. after loggin in, everything hangs and i cannot get anythig n my screen (empty desktop only) - any idea what to do? [18:01] MonkeyDust: I am having a Mobile Broadband connectivity. and on it I am runing VM's. And it is not possible to assigned Bridged adapter. [18:02] ikonia: shashank_: I told him to do so. 'Edit connections' and so on... === hello_world is now known as super-g [18:04] Hello. [18:04] Going nutter here.. Log messages from iptables doesn't go into messages though they are visible from dmesg (the program, not the log files). How do I get dmesg to save the iptables log messages to the /var/log/messages? [18:04] iptables does not log [18:04] thats why tools like ulog are used [18:05] So It's not possible to use APT- in terminal to install and update package when you are behind the NAT ? [18:05] ikonia: I know - I just need rsyslog to log it.. [18:05] bipul: of course it is [18:05] how about this. can i omit whoopsie from being updated during apt-get upgrade?

[18:07] dextor__ i'm sure someone else can help better, repeat your question every 10-15 minutes or so, in one line [18:07] bipul: so there is a signature error and a failed to fetch error there, [18:07] bipul: why do you think that is anything to do with nat ? [18:08] shashank_: I see no reason for that device not(!) to start @boot. 'Ethernet' section 'Device MAC address' ok? [18:08] Because I am runing this Ubuntu behind NAT on VM's [18:08] bipul: I suspect it's nothing to do with nat and more likley your VM network bridging/routing [18:08] Never mind my question. rsyslog wasn't configured properly.. [18:09] shashank_: Maybe clean that /etc/network/interfaces file once, and reboot. [18:09] hi.. does anyone know if Damn Small Ubuntu will still require pae? or if ill be able to install fake pae once damn small has booted and then upgrade to xubuntu 13.10?

[18:12] does damn small ubuntu need pae? anyone know? [18:12] iptable: what ? [18:12] Guest21357: damn small ubuntu is not an official release - ask their support resources [18:12] bipul: what / [18:12] iptable: sorry, not you [18:13] ikonia: will do. [18:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983220 That is the solution to fix the issue? [18:14] bipul: Did you setup the network correctly, inside your VMs? [18:14] bipul: thats just a guy whos connection has dropped, how has that anything to do with the problem you are raising ? [18:14] Yes, My network is setup correctly. and about the same problem that guy is facing on forum. [18:15] it's nothing like that guys problem [18:15] bipul: Its totally different. [18:16] Then how should i fix my problem. [18:16] ? [18:16] I suspect the problem is the way your vm's are bridged to your physical network [18:16] bipul: on your vm type "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the FULL output please [18:16] bipul: Pastebin "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" please.

[18:28] arctan: you've filled up your disk with data - whatever data you told it to do [18:29] bipul: so as you can see - it's working with the other releases just fine [18:29] 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] 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 [18:30] arctan: so there you go.....it's done the whole disk [18:30] ikonia, I was just confused for the expression "no space left on device".. [18:31] You mean to say I have to use this apt-get upgrade ? [18:31] Justin Bieber is gay [18:31] ikonia, maybe did it mean to say all spaces were zeroed, since there is no data-extraction process involved here? [18:32] 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 [18:33] 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 [18:34] 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] basketball, what is the diff between 180 clockwize and counterclockwize ? [18:35] arctan: no, it means there is no space left on the disk to write zero's to [18:36] 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] arctan: dd will tell it to do what you tell it to do [18:37] I used dd before, this never happened. whole disk was wiped and done. [18:37] 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] arctan: it's an unusual warning for sure [18:39] 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] arctan: that's how it reads to me [18:40] ikonia, yet do you mean it is a "warning" even if it reads that full wipe is completed? [18:40] arctan: well, normally as you said it just completes saying records in / out as a count [18:41] but if you're block size overspills it, I can see how you'd get that warning === guest4745757575 is now known as JaydEe [18:46] ikonia, so can I be certain of that the disk was fully wiped by dd? === curiousguy13_ is now known as curiousguy13 [18:48] arctan: looks that way to me === mostly_ is now known as mostly [18:49] Hello I have problems when I using my vpn in ubuntu, some of the websites are not working properly and is not of because website because if im not using the vpn it works those websites, as well this vpn works fine in windows. === harry is now known as Guest23510 [18:50] Could someone help me?

[19:10] anyone know of a lenovo e545 graphics driver for linux [19:10] noob question: [19:11] What does -y do in terminal? [19:11] Jaga_hut: nothing [19:11] I notice it is included in some code and not in others for same function [19:11] anyone? [19:12] Jaga_hut: it will depend on the funciton [19:12] function [19:12] Jaga_hut: -y is usually is used to auto accept whatever the package manager suggests [19:12] ? [19:12] ikonia: Thats my point if the only difference in the code is one has -y and one doesn't [19:12] then it must do something [19:12] Jaga_hut: what code ? what are you actually talking about ? [19:13] Jaga_hut: but like ikonia said it depends on the function [19:13] Jaga_hut: in terms of the terminal (bash) it does nothing [19:13] SonikkuAmerica: Anyway, it doesn't work [19:13] Thanks [19:13] 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] SonikkuAmerica: I seem to be lacking some libraries [19:14] Ikonia: No secrets here buddy its just three lines do install ubuntu tweak [19:14] Jaga_hut: again - it depends on the code. [19:14] and to be honest, you need "code" to install a package I don't know [19:14] Ikonia: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa -y [19:14] 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 [19:15] Jaga_hut: sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool [19:15] no need for a ppa [19:15] 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] IdleOne: Whats PPA needed for? [19:16] (or not needed for) [19:16] 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 [19:17] Ikonia: So if I add-y to any terminal command that requires a [y/n] then it will autimatically be y [19:17] Jaga_hut: no [19:17] Jaga_hut: it's a flag for that one command [19:17] 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] A1Recon: that's nothing to do with ubuntu [19:18] A1Recon: talk to your bios/motherboard vendor [19:18] does anyone know how to change ipv6 addresses? i have a around 10 in my virtual private server. would i just rearrange in /etc/network/interfaces? or is there a command that can do this so i can automate with a script? [19:18] ikonia: How so? [19:18] A1Recon: it might appear as External media or External HDD [19:18] I am trying to install Ubuntu... [19:18] Hey there, I am having a VERY weird problem with a ubuntu install on 3 different computers. 2 were equal (installs were clones), we added another computer, I cloned the drive of one of the originals and the cloned drive would not start, basically stating that there is nothing to start up from. 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] that anybody has ever seen? [19:18] IdleOne: No luck - it still lets the user log in without a password [19:18] A1Recon: the bios isn't modified by ubuntu [19:18] A1Recon: the bios isn't controlled by ubuntu [19:18] !xrandr [19:18] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [19:18] SonikkuAmerica: not sure what to tell you [19:18] IdleOne: (I even purged and reinstalled lightdm) [19:18] A1Recon: the bios is written/maintained by the bios vendor, hence talking to them will get you the answer [19:18] IdleOne: Thanks anyway === Tech_Talk is now known as Birdman3131 [19:19] SonikkuAmerica: There is a solution though. try checking askubuntu, might be a solution there. [19:20] SonikkuAmerica: Are you listening? [19:20] IdleOne: it says that it is unable to locate the package ubuntu -tweak [19:20] Jaga_hut: the package is called unity-tweak-tool [19:21] I already have unity-tweak tool, I want ubuntu tweak http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-tweak-and-unity-tweak-tool-powerful-tweaking-applications-ubuntu-1310 [19:22] IdleOne: They are two different programs [19:23] Jaga_hut: in that case follow the instructions on that link [19:23] IdleOne: Ha Ha got it [19:23] how do i install xrandr [19:23] hi [19:24] Marcos60001: Uh yeah... I had an issue too I needed to resolve. [19:24] A1Recon: first thing you should do is see if BIOS can be updated to latest version [19:24] hi [19:24] I'm on 12.04, how do I get aircrack-ng? I can't seem to find it anywhere [19:24] deepy: why would you need that ? [19:24] SonikkuAmerica: oh ok [19:24] he's planning on being a naughty boy [19:24] ;) [19:25] hi, how can I share my files via ad-hoc connection between two pc [19:25] deepy: apt-get install aircrack-ng [19:25] irssi-mi1e: Maybe something is wrong with the Pendrive.... I guess. Its not mine. [19:25] hi [19:25] irssi-mi1e: However the following packages replace it: iw:i386 iw [19:25] IdleOne: necessary, ubuntu-tweak is NOT in official repositories [19:25] Marcos60001: Besides, why not try installing the kde-full package instead? [19:25] Noah_AT: sup [19:26] SonikkuAmerica: oh oh [19:26] 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] SonikkuAmerica: still doesn't work [19:27] sudormrf: it will depend on the application and how tcp wrappers are being used [19:27] testing [19:27] somebody help me? [19:27] ikonia: I am using fail2ban. [19:27] 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] IdleOne: Meh, it was a fresh install from scratch anyway, I just reinstalled Ubuntu [19:28] hi [19:28] IdleOne: Remembering, of course, to assign a password and require it on login [19:28] ikonia: what I mean is which is looked at first when a packet comes through, the iptables or the hosts file? [19:28] sudormrf: it's probably saner to use iptables instead of hosts.deny as fail2ban action when possible [19:28] sudormrf: re-read what I just said [19:28] bobo, make-write your problem and iff someone can help you , it will [19:28] sudormrf: iptables will respond when a packet hits the interface [19:29] jelly-home: I was told that very long ip tables can create performance issues [19:29] sudormrf: ipset, then [19:29] testing [19:29] 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] sudormrf: set the retention policy of rules to something like 5 days and you'll never hit that long a list [19:29] jelly-home: is that an alternative to iptables? the machine has plenty of overhead [19:29] ikonia: for fail2ban? [19:29] sudormrf: having a huge hosts.deny file will be worse than a big iptables rule set [19:30] hi [19:30] afterlight: I did and nobody wrote me [19:30] 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] 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] A1Recon: everyone's bios is different so you can't say "mine can do it, so do this to yours" [19:31] hmm. ok. [19:31] testing [19:34] hi [19:34] testing [19:34] hi [19:34] testing [19:34] give it a rest please [19:34] it's not a test channel [19:34] bobo what operatin system have ? [19:35] how do i set my chat fonts o bold [19:35] bold [19:35] afterlight: ubuntu and in other pc is debian [19:36] hello, is this a normal finishing report for dd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7057187/ ? [19:36] arctann: you just asked this ?? [19:37] why are you asking it again [19:37] yes. I've been reading some posts. [19:37] how do i set this chat font to be bold [19:37] bold [19:37] what conection you have lan o wireless ? bobo ? [19:38] arctann, you should have added the original dd command, 'conv=notrunc' might be important info [19:38] afterlight: ad-hoc wireless [19:38] OerHeks, this was included in the original command [19:38] arctann: it's fine [19:38] arctann: accept it and move on with your day [19:38] any way to restart with schourtcut key ubuntu desktop when its frozen [19:39] afterlight: and in other debian pc I can use only command line [19:39] itd hard for newbee to startx [19:39] OerHeks, this was the command : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k conv=notrunc [19:39] 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. [19:40] arctann, so you are fine, wiped 100% [19:40] is there a way to determine what architecture my nVidia driver is currently installed? 32bit or 64 [19:40] bobo, hhmm, than sorry i can't help :( maby this topic can help you :( but i'm not sure. http://askubuntu.com/questions/10283/how-do-i-create-a-wireless-ad-hoc-network [19:41] afterlight: I see both PC in connection, but only names, no directories [19:41] toyimp: it will be the same arch as your system arch [19:41] toyimp, should be matching your OS arch [19:41] OerHeks, thank you for your clarifying information! [19:41] bobo, well i cant help you sorry. [19:41] ikonia, thank you, too. [19:41] So if I use the proprietary drivers from software & drivers it'll use the 64bit version? [19:41] bobo, try it a bit more on google ??? [19:41] afterlight: thank you so much [19:41] toyimp: correct [19:42] ikonia, OerHeks, thanks =) [19:42] hi [19:42] hi [19:43] testing [19:43] bobo, did the link help't you ? === makije is now known as makije|away [19:44] I am trying to figure out why the onscreen ruler gives width as 17 inches for a humble 14 inch screen. perhaps my screen size is not set correctly [19:44] can someone help me with this? laptop lenovo T61 ubuntu 12.04 [19:46] Goodnight everyone :D [19:48] Hi [19:48] my hdmi not work [19:48] what can I do === Zachary_DuBois|A is now known as Zachary_DuBois [19:49] are there some kind of gui analog for 'grep'? i want to find files that contain text in specific directory and then inspect them === malik_ is now known as dmx [19:49] Anyone [19:49] how do I activate hdmi [19:49] CodeGosu: Inspect as in open them in gedit? [19:50] yes [19:50] peyam: screen settings [19:50] there is not an options [19:50] about hdmi [19:51] or my secondary monitor === karim is now known as Guest78389 [19:51] CodeGosu: Some editors have a builtin way of "grepping for files", like vim, though not gedit as far as I know. Though you could use a find + grep in a terminal [19:52] CodeGosu: cd /to/the/dir && find . -type f -exec grep -q 'the pattern' {} \; -exec gedit {} + [19:52] If I capture a screenshot while running Ubuntu from LiveUSB, I think it is stored in the USB. Am I right? [19:52] A1Recon: it writes it to /home [19:52] Does it happen everytime or only when I have set up persistence? [19:52] CodeGosu: could be shortened by making it a function in your .bashrc [19:52] A1Recon: if thats "live" it's ram/memory [19:52] A1Recon: If you have a persistent USB stick - if you just have a LiveUSB, it is lost after rebooting. [19:53] bekks: Oh. Thanks!! [19:54] anybody [19:54] I have a problem with my disk and/or btrfs filesystem. I keep getting "ata3: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)" and "ata3: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)" in dmesg, and it slows down my computer. I think it's related to a recent power failure. [19:54] I have a GPT harddrive that was only disconnected and reconnected and suddenly will no longer boot. Any ideas? Maybe do I have to reinstall GPT? How would I do that? [19:55] Also, the filesystem is btrfs raid1 over two drives. btrfsck is showing some errors, and then it segfaults. [19:55] Any ideas? [19:55] jdavis: sounds like the hard disk is failing if it's resetting like that [19:56] afterlight: no :( [19:56] ikonia: smart isn't reporting any errors though [19:56] unless you have an idea of something specific I can run [19:56] jdavis: maybe the controller, [19:56] however, smartctl does take a lot longer to run on that one disk. [19:56] jdavis: basically that disk is not coming "up" on the controller [19:57] ikonia, oh, OK. Is that a bios-level thing or something? [19:57] no [19:57] hi, running commands like git pull, sudo service apache2 restart , command line just hangs. what should i do? === dmx is now known as bazinga === bazinga is now known as baziiinga [19:58] ikonia, I have a btrfs raid1, so in theory it should be safe against this kind of thing. [19:58] ikonia, do you know how to check the status of the raid? [19:58] no it shouldnt [19:58] ikonia, no? [19:59] I mean safe against data loss, not the disk problem itself [19:59] jdavis: have you lost data ? [19:59] I hope not [19:59] then why are you suggesting you've lost data ? [20:00] ikonia, I would just like to know the status of the raid [20:00] ikonia, and I don't really know how to see that with btrfs [20:01] 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] data [20:01] 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] jdavis: ok - so what does the documentation say on how to check the status..... [20:02] ikonia, the documentation is pretty sparse. I was hoping someone here knew. [20:02] jdavis: the documentation is not sparse [20:02] 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] jdavis: that's just lazy, I've just pulled up the man page in seconds [20:02] I looked in the man page [20:02] which also has links to how to manage volumes and sub volumes [20:03] OK. [20:03] jdavis: have you looked if the physical device is actually available on your system ? [20:03] It is. [20:03] jdavis: how are you verifying that ? [20:04] hi, running commands like git pull, sudo service apache2 restart , command line just hangs. what should i do? [20:04] me [20:05] ikonia, the devices were renamed since last boot, double checking now. [20:05] jdavis: ok, lost interest now, === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [20:16] SonikkuAmerica: Are you still there? [20:17] Marcos60001: yeah [20:18] SonikkuAmerica: Installing kde-full didn't work either, so i'm gonna try from the software center [20:20] Marcos60001: I don't see how that would help, but go ahead [20:21] 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? [20:22] gordonjcp: really depends on what you need/want [20:22] 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: I don't really know, that's kind of it [20:23] gordonjcp: what are you doing to do on Windows ? [20:23] gordonjcp: (roughly) [20:23] ikonia: don't know [20:23] I want to try it out without messing with a running system [20:23] Marcos60001: Good point... [20:23] gordonjcp: if you plan on doing any cpu intensive stuff on windows, you are better off dual booting IMO [20:23] gordonjcp: vm would be resonable for playing around, if you wnat to "use" it, then dual boot it [20:23] SonikkuAmerica: Not even the libraries required would be pulled along [20:23] hm [20:24] maybe I should just buy another hard disk and do a clean install of Windows [20:24] anyway -OT [20:24] gordonjcp: not a bad idea. [20:24] I know a few people here dual-boot between Ubuntu and Windows [20:24] it's quite good for games, isn't it? [20:24] what ubuntu or windows ? [20:24] Windows [20:24] I mostly only keep Linux around for games [20:24] gordonjcp: it's what games where designed for ..... [20:25] gordonjcp: I do dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows [20:31] i inserted a blank dvd to install ubuntu on and it is not seeign the dvd [20:32] jjdjdjd: ummm you can't install ubuntu on a dvd [20:32] jjdjdjd: you can boot to ubuntu using the live CD without messing with your hard drive but you will have to burn the iso first [20:37] 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? [20:38] crawley, First why compiz in xubuntu? [20:38] i dont particularly like unity. [20:39] can i ask for support here? [20:39] yahoojohn: yes [20:39] i am trying to configure xrdp to my windows machine getting blank screen [20:39] crawley, what has that to do with compiz in xubuntu? === JaydEe is now known as subzeroo [20:40] yahoojohn: could you provide more information? [20:40] 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. [20:41] yahoojohn: probable you got some error log why its not working? [20:41] sure i installed xrdp default did not work so followed instruction from net to configure session etc. [20:41] however still getting blank screen.. where is the log located [20:41] crawley, All desktops have managers already, what your doing is not really part of support here technically is all. [20:42] yahoojohn: which guide? [20:43] askubuntu.com/questions/234856/unable-to-remote-desktop-using-xrdp [20:43] So, ubuntu support doesnt support ccsm, which comes directly from the ubuntu repos? [20:43] that is how i ended up with xubuntu instead of ubuntu. it is ok though thanks thoonai [20:44] hello [20:45] crawley, support is within what a distro or release has, not what you want that is not stock unless that is the only option. [20:47] how to instal divx ?? [20:47] crawley, This does not mean you will get no support, just a aheads up on the channel norms. [20:48] nothing in logs either [20:49] ok [20:49] thoonai: nothing in logs either [20:50] ok [20:50] so xrdp itselfs runs properly? [20:51] If anybody around could take a look at this askubuntu question it would be a a great help [20:51] http://dft.ba/-PPCboot [20:53] yahoojohn: if the server is running properly, do you can confirm your client is connecting properly to the server? did you set up credentials? [20:55] thoonai: yes just verified === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [20:55] yahoojohn: ok [20:57] What was that clipboard command that comes preinstalled on ubuntu? [20:57] yahoojohn: have to go, I hope someone can help you, otherwise I'll be back in ~30 minutes [20:58] SuperToast, Can we assume you have researched what will actually run on the unit? [20:58] thoonai: thank you i will try somethign else [21:00] also it will be nice to have [21:01] monitoring security pannel [21:01] if we turn on firewall that we can get notification of [21:01] intruder [21:01] Beldar, I googled around a little before attempting to install 13.04; do you think maybe i should try 12.04 instead? [21:02] The util fdisk doesn't [21:02] support GPT . Use GNU Parted. [21:02] I'm trying to install kubuntu alongside windows and I cannot see my windows partitions in the kubuntu installation hard disk setup. When I 'try kubuntu' and run fdisk-l I get this error "The util fdisk doesn't [21:02] I'm trying to install kubuntu alongside windows and I cannot see my windows partitions in the kubuntu installation hard disk setup. When I 'try kubuntu' and run fdisk-l I get this error "The util fdisk doesn't [21:03] support GPT . Use GNU Parted." [21:03] doesn't support GPT, by any chance? :) [21:03] 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] kevthanewversi: sounds like you have a newish system with windows 8? [21:03] Anyone else had such a problem? [21:04] kevthanewversi: you probably need to boot kubuntu in UEFI mode for it to see the disk setup properly [21:04] daftykins yeah win 8 [21:04] !uefi [21:04] 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. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [21:05] Beldar, I'm booting from a 13.04 usb live image specifically for ppc; [21:07] daftykins how do i boot kubuntu i e [21:07] *in uefi [21:07] is it a laptop? [21:08] daftykins yeah laptop. [21:09] 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] 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] SuperToast, The errors you show are wifi errors, are you getting to the desktop? [21:11] Beldar, nope. After the wifi errors scroll by, it goes the the weird hell-screen. [21:12] This hard drive I'm installing from is only listed once daftykins [21:12] kevthanewversi: hrmm which kubuntu is it? [21:13] 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? [21:14] Beldar: I'm not with either [21:14] !nomodeset > SuperToast [21:14] SuperToast, please see my private message [21:15] SuperToast, I'm just guess here, I know nothing of the platform or the boot voodoo. [21:15] Beldar: Thanks for your help! [21:15] daftykins 13.04. When am installing it,in the partition harddisk part it shows my whole hard drive as empty space. [21:16] 13.04 is EOL. [21:16] SuperToast, No prob, just a problem kinda sparse here in users and channel posts. [21:20] ei hello [21:20] SuperToast, You might try a lubuntu download, it is lighter and not so window manager busy. You still have access to the ubuntu repos and any desktop you can get running. [21:22] Beldar: I'll look into it; I remember reading somewhere that lubuntu might be a good choice for ppcs [21:23] SuperToast, When I run "PowerBook G4" in the askubuntu search I see page after page, not sure if you had a chance to look. [21:24] anyone know how to build rsync 3.1.0 on ubuntu? I get a compiler error when I run make [21:24] hydrozen: Then pastebin the error please. [21:26] @bekks: here https://gist.github.com/hydrozen/9439112 [21:26] Beldar: I ran into some of those, but nobody seemed to be having exactly this brand of issue [21:32] kevthanewversi: 13.04 is already dead, you shouldn't install it [21:33] I tried 13.10 but same result d [21:34] daftykins [21:34] kevthanewversi: hrmm ok one sec [21:34] kevthanewversi: Your choices are 12.04, 12.10 or 13.10 [21:36] kevthanewversi: you're going to need to install and run gparted to partition manually ahead of install [21:36] bekks i don't get why it shows my whole hard disk as free space though. [21:38] daftykins gparted? but I can't run it On the kubuntu 'try kubuntu' option can I? [21:39] kevthanewversi: no reason you can't install a partitioning utility in the live environment [21:40] Okay maybe I can try that. What if g part still doesn't show my windows partitions? daftykins [21:41] kevthanewversi: not sure, but getting there may be fun enough [21:42] daftykins Totally. How about I try that and tell you the results tomorrow man coz it's 1 AM over here. [21:43] kevthanewversi: yeah or just post to channel, might be someone more experienced around by then :) === ubuntu is now known as Guest86145 [21:44] Ok no problem. Thanks a lot man daftykins :D [21:49] hello, Ubuntu 12.04 has a bug, when I try to copy a folder and paste it elsewhere, it copy's the files, but not the folder and get an error. [21:50] never had that happen streulma [21:50] maybe I was trying from network share lickalott [21:50] user error maybe? are you holding a button while you're doing this or just right click > select or click and drag? [21:50] no [21:50] *user error was a joke btw [21:51] that's weird. I do that all the time (like literally 90% of my folder movements) i've never had an issue. [21:51] how old is the install? [21:52] hello. I'm installing ubuntu on a computer wishing to update it to 14.04 as soon as it's available. would it be safer to install 13.10 or 12.04 (the last LTS)? [21:53] if you're going to upgrade anyway go with 13. [21:54] ok, thanks! === marc_ is now known as Guest34695 [22:01] anyone know how to install macports on ubuntu 12.04 [22:03] !find macports [22:03] File macports found in ansible, chef, phoronix-test-suite, puppet-common, puppet-testsuite, surfraw [22:08] .... [22:09] ... [22:09] Rsvc it works, we see you [22:11] ... [22:16] how do I find a pendrive so I can upgrade my ubuntu to a newer version [22:17] i am using ubuntu 12.4 and it crashes after updates [22:19] how much RAM is recommended for gitlab? [22:19] does 512MB is enough? [22:20] or 1GB? [22:20] drscoops_, Might it be worth fixing this crash problem, is it a graphic crash? [22:21] drscoops_, Can you define "upgrade" as you see it? [22:22] oops wrong channel ;) [22:26] going from 12.4 to 13.4 or .10 what ever the new one is [22:27] the crash it self is a string of text and it scrolls down for a very long time [22:27] it only happens durring update [22:31] 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. [22:33] #ubuntu pl [22:33] ok so what do I do [22:33] #ubuntu.pl [22:34] drscoops_, What I wonder is are you using a proprietary graphic driver? [22:34] yes [22:34] I think so [22:34] I kknow i have a very good graphics card installed to my laptop [22:34] drscoops_, If this is the case they need to be reloaded on kernel upgrades....etc. [22:35] it did say some thing about additional drivers [22:35] active but not in use [22:36] drscoops_, So how have you installed drivers if you have? [22:36] I have not installed drivers before I thought ubuntu did that for me [22:39] Can I run openSSH server during the install of ubuntu server? My hardware lacks a PS/2 port and the installation isn't accepting input from a usb keyboard. Ubuntu Server 13.10 [22:39] okt: i wouldn't recommend non-LTS versions of server [22:40] okt: not sure on that one, the installer is pretty basic [22:41] 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] daftykins: I'll have to give 12.04 a go until 14.04 is released. [22:42] how do I fix 12.4 can some one walk me threw it [22:44] Did 14. 4 get held up I thought it was coming out in 2013 [22:44] like at the end of the year or some thing [22:44] drscoops_, no hold up 4-14 = april [22:44] ok [22:45] so I need to install my graphic card drivers [22:45] if i run "sudo lsof -i" and see a bunch of "vino-serv" commands from an unknown IP, does that mean someone has cracked my vino-serv or someone is trying to crack? looked briefly at "man lsof" but not sure how to distinguish open Internet file from active, successful connection [22:46] shrg: those are incoming connections, likely [22:46] shrg: well a TCP session is established and successful regardless of what your services do to deny [22:51] lsof -i [22:51] !upgrade | Left_Turn [22:51] Left_Turn: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [22:51] !upgrade > Left_Turn [22:51] Left_Turn, please see my private message [22:52] daftykins, should i interpret these connections as attempts or as real, live connections? if the latter, why open so many connections when only one is needed to remotely share desktop? [22:52] shrg: i'm not familiar with the particular service you're running, but why not confirm with a test setup? [23:01] daftykins, i hesitate to purposefully attempt to connect to possibly cracked(infected) machine. maybe it's trying to infect other machines on local network right now? === halothe23 is now known as Test === Test is now known as halothe23 [23:04] shrg: well, my idea of test was to virtualise the setup and compare the output of lsof. [23:14] how do i add an iprule to accept all from a certain ip anywhere? [23:15] daftykins, ok, don't know enough to do that right now. thanks for assistance, nonetheless. [23:20] test! :-) [23:21] lenovo t42 with Ubuntu? possible? :-) [23:25] hello [23:25] Octopus_: It appears others have, "I had Ubuntu 11.10 in my T42p, AFAIR it was working fine with no issues" (from http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=106913) [23:25] does the -i386 version of ubuntu [23:25] support amd64 processors from amd [23:25] shovel_boss: yes [23:25] shovel_boss: Yes [23:25] shovel_boss: it also supports amd64 processors from intel ;) [23:26] is there any amd64 version specific for amd to make it run better? [23:27] shovel_boss: Here's how it works: A 32bit OS can be installed on 64bit hardware, but 64bit OS can not be installed on 32bit processor hardware [23:27] merci usr13 i follow thw link! [23:27] ok [23:27] sometimes true sometimes false [23:27] i have i686 CPU how do i install [23:27] 32% true [23:27] for sometimes true [23:27] shovel_boss: no, because Intel and AMD use the same amd64 architecture (ignoring silliness like Intel Itanium) [23:28] im trying to help an elderly family member with their ubuntu install. i assume their router has upnp, so i was wondering if i could skip manually setting up a port forward by using a remote desktop app someone is about to tell me exists that uses upnp to open the port?
