[02:12] Richhh, mmmk... please do this for me. mack a file with touch and addd text to the file. then type 7z a -mx=9 fileName.7z fileNale [02:12] hahah puny mortals [02:12] hi, I have 12.04, and I've just updated some packages, and since then, I can't log in to ubuntu 3d, even if I choose 3d on the log in screen. What to do ? [02:12] Richhh, then type 7z x fileName.7z [02:12] * cuete_ conjures up some black magick. [02:13] staticwarp: what do you mean by download the iso while installing? I think you must download the iso, burn it to cd/usb, and then boot to it to install? [02:13] how to change ubuntu themes thanks [02:13] Richhh, does it extract the 7z file? [02:13] alguien que se php ? === Gnurdux_ is now known as Gnurdux [02:13] macoymae: System settings, top right hand corner. [02:13] Should be under themes. [02:13] macoymae: you can use unity-tweak, or gnome tweak, but I don't recommend to change the theme :D [02:13] staticwarp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall (???) . [02:13] 7z command not found [02:13] crunchbang: [02:14] hi, so I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.10, and I can get to the grub bootloader just find. When I choose to install ubuntu, it goes to a black screen. A few seconds later, I hear the ubuntu login drums. [02:14] i want to install good themes were can i find some [02:14] sorry if i was unclear, i'm downloading the lubuntu 13.10 iso now, i'm going to install it once i get it onto a dvd. i'm looking for a stripped down version if possible, something that's not going to take ages on this crappy internet connection. [02:15] thanks for the help cuete [02:15] Richhh, you're kidding??? [02:15] Bashing-om: thanks, i will read up on the minimal install and see if it will work for me :) [02:15] Richhh, XD [02:15] macoymae: no problem === dniMretsaM__ is now known as SmashStack [02:15] Richhh, I'm doing it fine here and it's not for you? [02:15] Richhh, ok. [02:16] staticwarp: That is a core install, you are expected to know what else is to be installed to make your system your own. [02:16] how do you set the font for the virtual console (TTYx) on startup? [02:16] Richhh, lemme see from my end what the other command is [02:16] #crunchbang [02:16] crunchbang: I'm trying unrar-free and p7zip-full now [02:16] hi, I have 12.04, and I've just updated some packages, and since then, I can't log in to ubuntu 3d, even if I choose 3d on the log in screen. What to do ? [02:16] crunchbang: unrar-free failed [02:17] richhh you failed the software is always right [02:17] macoymae: no problem [02:17] staticwarp: well, the minimal install will download the package while installing. so I will take time to install too :D [02:17] hi, so I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.10, and I can get to the grub bootloader just find. When I choose to install ubuntu, it goes to a black screen. A few seconds later, I hear the ubuntu login drums. [02:18] Puritanick: I guess so [02:18] kristenbb: What pops to mind is you have a proprietary graphics driver installed, and it got broke in the update process (??). [02:18] Richhh:thats your problem this isnt guess work [02:19] Puritanick: What's the answer then? [02:19] Bashing-om: as far as i know, it didn't break in the upgrade process, but yes I might have a proprietary graphics driver installed [02:19] not so fast [02:19] Richhh, Hmmmm...would you install squeez for me [02:20] it's an xfce archive manager [02:20] Hey guys, just recently ran updates on 13.10 and now my system keeps dropping to the login screen after idling. Is this the new lock screen? [02:20] And by login screen, I mean LightDM. [02:20] Richhh, then from there would you run the program for me and see if it unrar's the pkg [02:20] Bashing-om: thanks. looks like the minimal install requires a wired connections, which i don't have available right now. guess i'll just be patient and wait XD [02:20] Today, unrarlib only supports up to version 2 of the RAR file format. Scheurer says he is working on adding support for the newer RAR3 format to unrarlib, but says he is not sure what reaction to expect from RARLAB. [02:21] kristenbb: Not saying that is the root of the problem, something to keep in mind. ok, can you boot through "recovery" mode ? [02:21] Bashing-om: i can even boot normally, it's just that it falls back to ubuntu 2d [02:22] ok [02:23] Richhh, thx's. pls tell me what happens [02:24] Oh, nevermind. I have light-locker installed, haha. Completely forgot I had that installed, since it never worked before. [02:24] the trolls are at it again [02:25] kristenbb: I am still leaning toword the graphics driver, what is loaded and in use?; pastebin => sudo lshw -C display <- maybe relate what is going on. [02:25] Richhh, also, did you try unrar e fileName.rar [02:25] my 12.04 server reboots to black screen after installation, seems to not be on the network [02:25] help? [02:26] crunchbang: tried that, can you provide a trustworthy download link for squeez [02:26] does anyone know how to set grub to nomodeset? [02:26] !nomodeset [02:26] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:26] | cuete_ [02:26] Richhh, It's not in your Synaptic pkg mngr? [02:27] Richhh, what about unrar x fileName.rar [02:27] Richhh, or does it say command doesn't exist? [02:27] if I need nomodeset, how can I add it to a server that's already blackscreening? [02:28] Hornet, pull the hdd and set into other comp. mount it. then chroot to mthe system [02:28] Bashing-om: pastebin.com/aeh3ad7m [02:28] unrar x file.rar or unrar e file.rar both fail, squeez is not in the repo [02:28] Hornet: Is your server headless or do you have a monitot attatched as always available ? - Graphics driver loaded ? [02:29] Richhh, Jeez louise bro. What doo you have??? [02:29] Alguém aí fala português? [02:29] !pt [02:29] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[02:31] crunchbang, no [02:31] crunchbang: lubuntu [02:31] looks like it just rebooted with the memory stick in though and I do seem to be at a prompt [02:31] not that it'll let me log in [02:31] Richhh, lubuntu, excuse me. =p [02:31] so looks like it might be a booting issue rather than gfx etc [02:33] Richhh, sudo add-apt ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 && sudo apt-get update [02:33] can ssh remotely, but can't log in [02:33] no idea what user it wants [02:33] Richhh, Should work fine [02:33] sigh [02:34] reinstall yet again? [02:34] does it work from live cd? [02:34] kristenbb: "pastebin.com/aeh3ad7" -> I get this pafte has been removed, try again. [02:34] live usb, yes [02:34] no cd drive [02:34] crunchbang: add-apt command not found [02:34] at the moment it's gone through whatever the default option is [02:35] Hornet:your HDD is broken [02:35] looks like ssh is up but not using the server's config [02:35] the hdds are fine [02:35] Richhh, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA [02:35] partitions on the other hand, god knows [02:35] grub tried to autoinstall on sda [02:35] which is in the raid array [02:35] Bashing-om: pastebin.com/mPhnXUuk [02:35] sde it would have worked on [02:35] Richhh: crunchbang the command is add-apt-repository [02:35] but I couldnnt manually control that [02:36] I installed Steam but cannot run it in Ubuntu 13.10. And this is the terminal output http://paste.ubuntu.com/7065334/ [02:36] kristenbb: Looking at pastebin.com/mPhnXUu . [02:36] Richhh, IdleOne Blarg, sorry, I set my sys to that....

[02:38] Richhh, then open the prog and see if it extracts the file [02:38] crunchbang: is it squeez or squeeze ? [02:38] squeeze [02:39] just get it from synaptic [02:39] hella better than term for getting pkgs [02:39] what is squeeze? [02:39] I don't see squeeze in the repo [02:40] Bashing-om: neither as been removed, I can access them just fine, and I might add that the first one, you didn't spell correctly, you forgot the m at the end [02:40] closest is xcp-squeezed [02:40] Richhh, pls tell me you're jokeing [02:40] also unar shows up === guspur is now known as ppbm [02:40] Richhh, ok [02:40] Richhh: whats are yoy trying to do? [02:40] Richhh, use that then [02:41] you cant even unrara one damn file? [02:41] Bashing-om: I even tried accessing them from another computer, it works. How are you trying to access it ?! [02:41] Puritanick: correct [02:41] well linux isnt for you then [02:42] Richhh, I seriously don't get why lubuntu doesm't have a simple feature like that [02:42] Puritanick: unar worked [02:42] Puritanick: please be helpful [02:42] Puritanick: if you're going to help in #ubuntu, please actually be helpful. [02:42] o hai IdleOne [02:42] crunchbang: unar worked [02:42] Richhh, YAAAAAYYYYYYY [02:42] :P [02:42] kristenbb: Ok, I'll try again. [02:42] Richhh, FINALLY SOMETHING WRKS IN LUBUNTU [02:43] Richhh, Glad I could hlp [02:43] =] [02:43] 2 trolls [02:43] crunchbang: thanks [02:43] :) [02:43] Bashing-om: you forgot the last letter twice, the second one is also mispelled, you forgot the last letter. But why dont you just copy and paste instead of trying to copy the url ? [02:43] #anonops [02:43] Puritanick: You know better then to make these off topic and unhelpful comments. Please stop [02:44] kristenbb: Got it, do not know what my problem was ! looking. [02:44] ban me i know you wanna [02:44] np Richhh It was fun...kinda...who am I kidding. that sucked. I suggest a diff os from lubu if it cn't even unrar a file [02:44] crunchbang: well at least I know now [02:44] crunchbang: but there are some other irritating things about it, gonna upgrade my pc shortly [02:44] XD True dat [02:45] Richhh, Ahhh, coolio === ubuntu is now known as pravinmishra [02:45] I have a setterm command and a setfont command being run in my rc.local file. I know the commands are getting executed (verbose output sent to a log file), but the effects of them are getting reset when the TTY login screen shows up. Why is this and how can I fix it/get around it? [02:46] kristenbb: "RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3410/3430]" there is no longer fglrx support for that card, after 12.04.1, all that you can safely use is the opensource driver -works great, I am in the same boat with my ATI card. [02:47] does anyone know of radeon driver issues where it causes part of the screen to flicker? it's as if the screen wont render and parts are lost for a few seconds. [02:48] okay, the plot thickens - the server works when the usb stick is in, but I can't log in (user/password incorrect) [02:48] Bashing-om: but it worked fine before, and now I'm falling back to ubuntu 2d. How can I go back to ubuntu 3d ? [02:48] without it, black screen on boot [02:48] hi [02:48] Richhh, just for giggles, what does man 7z show in the terminal [02:48] ? [02:49] who is here [02:49] unknown__, the blind leading the blinder [02:49] "when the blind leadeth the blind, get out of the way" [02:50] how many people r here [02:50] 1529 [02:50] 1529 [02:50] 1529 [02:50] 1529 [02:50] (\/) [02:50] that's numberwang [02:50] and so forth [02:50] well at least 4 [02:50] with you 5 [02:50] + IdleOne [02:51] * Hornet is getting crampp kneeling by this server [02:51] assistance would be much appreciated [02:51] Hornet: pray [02:51] Richhh i think you need unrar the non free version or something [02:51] been there, done that [02:51] Hornet: what is your problem, exactly? [02:51] Hornet, i'm outta ideas [02:51] kristenbb: presently you have no driver loaded per that output. from "Additional Drivers" install radeon; mine -> configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 . [02:51] crunchbang: man 7z shows the 7z man page no problem [02:52] or maybe just use a windows computer to extract the file heh [02:52] SmashStack: server won't boot without the usb stick in; when it does, I can't log in [02:52] I need a person to hlp me infact. === ppbm is now known as guspur [02:52] Bashing-om: from additional drivers, none is available [02:52] FuuqUmiist: i tried unrar and unrar-free [02:52] any usb stick or just a certain one? [02:52] crunchbang: indeed? [02:52] Richhh, Well that's just bs.... if 7z pg is fin then why does 7z x fail? [02:52] SmashStack, probably this particular one,I can try with another though [02:52] ask in #debian [02:52] freedomrun: and p7zip, only unar worked [02:53] SmashStack: it was the usb stick I installed the OS from, my best guess is that grub latched onto it possibly [02:53] kristenbb: OK, will install frpm terminal, gimme a bit to craft this up. [02:53] crunchbang: its possible I needed to restart my shell for 7z to work [02:53] crunchbang: because it seems to run now, I'll try to exctract with it [02:53] sounds like it's trying to boot from said USB. Can you boot the machine to the BIOS and set the boot order to boot from the HDD first? [02:53] Richhh, ok. it's 7z x fileName.rar [02:54] Richhh maybe get the windows version of rar and install it on wine [02:54] crunchbang: that would extract all the files in the same folder though [02:54] FuuqUmiist: no matter, unar worked [02:54] SmashStack: without the USB in though, it won't boot at all [02:54] but I can try that yes [02:54] Richhh, mmm, not if it's just ma file I don't think it will. [02:55] FuuqUmiist:thats a wonderfull idea [02:55] Hornet: I believe that is a semi-common issue. Let me try my google-fu for a minute. in the meantime, what have you tried so far? [02:56] Richhh, If it's a single file then it'll extract normal. if it's folders with sub folders it extracts the sub folders and folders liker a standard directory tree [02:56] http://www.apple.com/macbook-air/design.html - Can i remove MacBook Air existing OS and install Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit on it? will the drivers and everything gonna work ? [02:56] Puritanick it would also be a wonderful idea making Ubuntu more user friendly just to have a menu icon in Ubuntu that actually says "menu" lol [02:56] ie, as the were set b4 compression [02:56] SmashStack: restarting now, with the usb stick in, has just shown me grub [02:57] which I haven't yet seen [02:57] nothing different to the last reboot either [02:57] Richhh, Still, it's all guud now. i'm off to watch Walking Dead guys. bye [02:57] one of the simple reasons why Mint is considered more user friendly [02:57] SmashStack: as to what I've tried, I've been reinstalling and repairing this setup for a while [02:57] Hornet: it's possible that GRUB got installed to the USB stick instead of your hard drive [02:58] xfce has such a menu [02:58] SmashStack: that's my guess yes [02:58] but I can't log in in any case, somehow [02:58] are you attempting to log into a TTY? [02:58] yes [02:58] sudo 7za a -t7z files.7z /* [02:58] same with ssh [02:58] :) [02:59] hope you got ssd [02:59] I'm at grub now though, so can edit kernel params if I need to [02:59] well, that's odd. can you boot the machine with a live disk and install grub to your HDD? [02:59] well I've just tried that [02:59] and this is where I am [02:59] if you are helping a Ubuntu newbie and tell them "click on the menu icon then go to..." they will be like "WTF" lol [02:59] so it got installed to the HDD correctly but still not booting? [03:00] SmashStack: problem is the installer lashes around for /dev/sda and I CANNOT use grub-install from ash [03:00] which is the only shell I have in the installer [03:00] I can't tell [03:00] it should install on sde1, there's a boot partition waiting for it [03:00] the icons dont even have names [03:00] since you have access to grub now, can you boot into recovery mode? [03:01] yes, but can't log into anything, no idea why [03:01] unsure if recovery does anything special in that regard? [03:01] you shouldn't have to in recovery mode [03:01] k [03:01] at vicious pink menu [03:02] resume, root, clean, etc [03:02] select the fsck option that remounts everything in read-write [03:02] 'check all filesystems' ? [03:02] probably [03:02] this is a 6tb raid 6 array [03:02] how long have you got [03:03] actually it's probably still building [03:03] nothing's using it yet though [03:03] I have quite a bit of time, really [03:03] 'finished' please press enter' [03:04] press enter. should take you back to the menu. then select the root option [03:04] in [03:04] putty won't touch it so I presume nothing's really running [03:04] now try grub-install [03:04] device or partition? [03:04] device [03:05] k, sec [03:05] hello === asturel_ is now known as asturel [03:05] should automatically latch on to the correct partition (the one with the boot flag set) [03:05] this gpt partition has no bios bootpartion, can't embed [03:05] paraphrasing [03:06] so your device that you're trying to install it on has not boot partition, which is why it's installing itself to the USB [03:06] fdisk -l shoots off of the screen [03:06] I explicitly set it up to [03:06] fdisk -l | less [03:07] kristenbb: If you installed fglrx from the repo, do -> code: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak - then next :: [03:07] this is wildly different, one moment [03:07] looks like after the raid setup, everything juggled [03:08] Bashing-om: i don't know whether i installed fglrx from the repo, but I didn't install this package by hand, at best I uploaded it with apt-get upgrade. [03:08] pity I can't screenshot this [03:09] pipe it to a log and pastebin it? [03:09] kristenbb: Now do: sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates .. else from the repo will do this next. [03:09] or do you not have an internet connection? [03:09] no network [03:09] but will try, sec [03:09] well it does [03:09] but I don't think it's using it [03:10] probably not. I think their is something special you have to do in single-user mode to use the network [03:11] oh well [03:11] you could throw it on a USB stick if you really need to [03:11] okay well, there's sda1 which has boot [03:11] you can try grub-install sda [03:11] kristenbb: that sequence should work to remove an apt-get or additional drivers instll .. next we will install the opensource driver. [03:11] sda2 which is extended, sda5 which is swap, and sda6 which is 'linux' [03:11] it LOOKS like what was sde is now sda [03:11] somehow [03:12] sda6 might be the usb? [03:12] I've never actually heard of a system with sde before [03:12] no idea what else if could be [03:12] this has 5 disks in it [03:12] 4 in raid, one bare [03:12] external drives are often sdbx or sdcx [03:13] but it's possible, I guess [03:13] Bashing-om: ok, next? [03:13] oh. well that would do it. I don't have experience with raid [03:13] I believe, ideally, the bare disk would have the boot partition on it [03:14] rebooting without stick now === jagger|away is now known as jagger [03:14] blackscreen, no disk noise [03:14] no ping [03:14] huh [03:14] indeed [03:15] I could reinstall the whole thing from scratch, again? [03:15] you could [03:15] actually, no Ican't, as the usb stick was the media [03:15] will need to reimage it [03:15] fucksocks [03:15] you could try adding a boot flag to a disk [03:15] kristenbb: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ;;; sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core ... [03:15] via that root prompt [03:16] sda1 was bootable [03:16] rebooting to prompt [03:16] Does anybody know what exactly controls the notifications in the upper right corner? Seems as if mine aren't working despite this install being brand new... never seen this on other machines though... 13.10 64 bit. [03:16] kristenbb: reboot to see the change and for effect. [03:16] roasted: might be libnotify [03:17] Bashing-om: what do you mean by reinstall? [03:17] roasted: not sure, though, as I use KDE. I'm assuming you're using unity [03:17] SmashStack: yes [03:17] kristenbb: "apt-get install --reinstall" ?? [03:18] roasted: appears to be notify-osd [03:18] SmashStack: I have root and networking [03:19] nfi how to dump over console though [03:19] sda1 is mounted on /boot apparently [03:19] Bashing-om: oh ok i didnt know that command, and the line just spanned there [03:19] Bashing-om: ok rebooting [03:19] Hornet: does sda1 have the boot partition? [03:20] you can install pastebinit with apt-get and use that [03:20] kristenbb: for calification, my last was 2 separate sequences 1st with the "install" packages, and 2nd with the install --reintall . [03:20] well it IS the boot partition [03:20] fdisk -l | pastebinit [03:20] so it has the boot flag, then? it should, since that's where /boot is [03:20] ta [03:20] Bashing-om: yep i got it, rebooting now. [03:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7065496 [03:22] one disk is partitioned as |boot|ext|swap [03:22] three partitions on one 250gb disk [03:22] okay. so sdf is your USB drive [03:22] it is now yes [03:22] Bashing-om: unfortunately still falling back to ubuntu 2d, although i selected ubuntu 3d on the login screen. [03:23] and you tried grub-install sda, correct? [03:23] yes [03:23] it thought it worked [03:23] but nothing happened on reboot [03:23] so I've got a bit of an issue, I believe my ssh system is a little messed up and had to boot into a rescue mode. But I'm really unsure of how to reinstall openssh to fix my errors through rescue [03:23] okay. boot your system w/o the USB while holding shift [03:23] couldn't see anything on screen nor ping [03:23] anyone willing to give me a hand? [03:23] k, sec [03:23] if grub actually installed, it should show up [03:24] nope [03:24] black screen [03:24] no ping either [03:25] back to rootstick..

[03:29] I'm at root again now [03:29] defgadget: unless said program will run in a framebuffer, no [03:29] gotcha [03:30] Hornet: I would give the LiveCD terminal method a shot first [03:30] since you're already at a terminal [03:32] SmashStack: reinstalled notify-osd, no change. dang. :( [03:33] roasted: are your notifications broken or something? [03:33] SmashStack: they simply don't work, aside from wireless/sound level. [03:33] SmashStack: empathy, rhythmbox, etc. don't work [03:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7065526/ SmashStack :| [03:33] roasted: can't help you there. sorry [03:34] Hornet: wait. why is it back to sde? [03:34] color me confused [03:35] yeah, quite [03:35] welp. you can try installing grub to sde now, I suppose [03:35] tally ho then... [03:36] wonder if this is why it changed behaviour on different boot attempts [03:36] this is certainly one of the stranger issues I've attempted to help with [03:37] kristenbb: Great that it is working ! had me going ! and I was looking ! [03:37] well if the device names change on each boot, that would cause issues. no idea why they would change, though [03:38] can I specify by uuid rather than device Iwonder [03:39] SmashStack: mount -l shows /dev/sde on /boot, so as a sanity check, do I want grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sde ? [03:39] or simply =/boot? [03:40] boot dir should be /boot. but it has to be the /boot of sde, not sdf. not sure how to check that [03:40] atm /boot is mounted from sde correctly [03:41] * dann waves hello [03:41] then --boot-directory=/boot should do it [03:41] emphasis on "should" [03:41] LUKS + SSD question... I have an SSD + HD in my computer. The BOOT, EFI, and ROOT partitions are on the SSD while the HOME and SWAP are on the HD. I have ROOT, HOME, and SWAP individually (no LVM) encrypted with LUKS. What is the recommended method for enabling TRIM on the SSD given my setup? Given that the disk is encrypted and should contain random data, is there a point to TRIM? [03:41] There seems to be a lot of talk on the subject and it goes all sort of directions. === matthewvz is now known as Guest93889 [03:42] SmashStack: smoke testing atm [03:42] cross everything that's long enough [03:42] nbros652: I believe the answer to that question is no, but I'm not entirely sure [03:43] SmashStack: That's what I was thinking. [03:43] SmashStack: looks like a lot of nothing again [03:43] can I nail my fstab to use uuids or something [03:43] this is ludicrous [03:43] nbros652: You can enable TRIM. If you do, you will end up with blank regions on the physical drive representing empty space on the encrypted drive. You will also get the usual benefits of TRIM. Whether the former is acceptable is up to you. === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [03:44] nbros652: i.e., it's possible, but there is information leakage that may or may not concern you depending on why you're using encryption [03:44] I believe fstab should be using UUIDs anyway [03:44] anybody have op here? [03:45] so, Hornet, yes you can and you probably should [03:45] violinuxer: If you have something to discuss with the ops, join #ubuntu-ops [03:45] rww: that's what I figured. Do you know how to enable on / when decrypted at boot? [03:45] I believe the blkid command should give you your UUIDs [03:45] nbros652, indeed, enabling TRIM on an encrypted partition *can* be harmful to security, if the drive uses deterministic trim [03:46] psusi: Any references you would recommend as reading material that aren't going to show with a web search? [03:46] would thye cover spam messages? [03:47] nbros652: I used http://askubuntu.com/a/122007/244726 and it worked for me [03:47] violinuxer: from which nick? [03:47] i have a good idea, but still [03:47] Dane_Minor.... advertising toyota cars [03:47] figured [03:48] Anyone able to help me output displays via two GPU's, it would be greatly appreciated [03:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7065559/ SmashStack :| :| :| [03:48] wonderful stuff [03:49] not edited it yet [03:49] got another message as of 23:48 [03:49] Hornet: well, at least you know that it was using the USB's /boot when it was installed. I /think/ that that is the root of the problem [03:50] but I don't really know how to fix it [03:50] which is the current problem [03:50] manually edit fstab I think [03:50] this'll be 'fun' [03:50] and even then though, my login is broken [03:50] rww: does passing the discard option on the decrypted mount actaully accomplish anything? [03:50] not sure where that happend in the process [03:51] but in any case with recovery Ican fix that [03:51] prepare for tedious typing of UUIDs [03:51] or copy-pasta via emacs or something [03:51] have to do it manually [03:51] fun times [03:51] biab I suppose [03:52] gl [03:52] ta [03:52] ping me when you finish [03:52] heh [03:52] or if you finish, as the case may be [03:53] rww: Ah, just noticed the discard option in crypttab... didn't see that before. [03:54] nbros652: you need to make sure each layer of the stack is enabling TRIM, so yeah, you put discard in a bunch of places [03:54] rww: makes sense. Thanks [03:54] Hey, you guys are pretty smart [03:55] boldfilter1: whats up? [03:56] How would i check a files permissions [03:57] bray90820: ls -la [03:57] How would i input a single file to check it's permissions [03:57] ls -la [03:58] * doseofyous hey [03:58] Thats what i thought [03:58] Thank you [03:58] * doseofyous is this the right place for ubuntu help?

[04:01] cipher__: thanks for letting us know! anything we can help you with today? [04:01] guess not [04:01] * doseofyous im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but my bios wont boot from usb is there any way other then cd? [04:02] Hey im fairly new to Linux here and Im looking for a good book to dive alittle deeper, I understand basic commands but looking for a greater knowledge [04:02] i need to know how to force format a HD in terminal. I have tried gparted and it wont let me. [04:03] doseofyous: those are the big two, you need to get the process started somehow, I built a PXE server since some of my boxes had jacked up USB ports but that's probably more work than just burning the CD [04:03] SmashStack: done it, confirmed with blkid , mount -l and df -h and it still blackscreens on reboot [04:03] defgadget: try "the official ubuntu book" [04:03] needshelp: did you run with sudo? have you looked into the parted comand? [04:04] so, reimage usb stick, nuke everything that isn't raid and retry again? [04:04] problem is it'll likely do the same thing [04:05] simple enough haha. I was amazed when I started seeing how powerful the CLI is when used poperly [04:05] defgadget: yup. extremelypowerful [04:08] doseofyous: Will this help ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot <-allow booting/installing an .iso directly from the hard drive. [04:09] Hornet: I really don't know where to go from here [04:09] doseofyous: does your BIOS support booting from USB at all?

In many you can specify a debug log when the application is started. Others might log directly to syslog [04:25] is flash hardware accelerated in Ubuntu? [04:25] JoeyJoeJo: I have to re direct all outputs to a text file [04:25] what application? [04:26] JoeyJoeJo: it is a c application [04:26] something you made? [04:26] Or something installed via apt-get? [04:26] SmashStack: giving up for the night. will leave a new stick imaging and likely do a bare metal install again tomorrow, without grub, then boot into a live environment with bash and install/edit grub manually [04:28] best of luck, Hornet [04:31] indeed :\ [04:31] many thanks again for all your help [04:31] Hello, I have a handicapped friend who uses mousekeys, she has gotten worse and is more limited in movement, so I edited the mousekeys file to add keys easier for her to reach, but it seems that X doesn't read that file and the standard stuff seems to be hardcoded (yes, rebooted and removed the file entirely). Ubu 12.04. Any thought, pointers or suggestions appreciated ***MUCH***! [04:31] no problem. sorry we didn't get it fixed [04:32] Been working on this for a couple days, google, yahoo nor bing is any help :-(. [04:33] She refuses to use windoz, so either I am running over there whenever she wants to do something or she just sits and stares at the screen until I can :-/. [04:34] is it more lightweight in Linux to use flash or html5? in Windows flash is GPU accelerated but in Linux there are no longer new features in flash [04:37] If anyone can provide some help or hope, please prefix message to me, still searching - I really don't want to put her in windows to solve the problem. [04:37] so does anyone know? [04:38] 1494 people here, apparently not :-/. [04:39] K`zan, it uses the numpad right? === zapsoda is now known as Guest68385 [04:40] ariscop: Yes, the stock version of mousekeys uses the numpad, too hard for her to get that far over without falling over :-(. [04:40] K`zan, have you considered an external usb numpad? [04:41] i'm not sure if it's possible to rebind, and there's not many other places on a keyboard to put them [04:43] ariscop: You can assign them to anything, but the mousekeys configuration file is not being read. This did work for a while but seems to have stopped recently. [04:43] file is no longer being read [04:44] K`zan, what's the filename? [04:44] ariscop: She types with her nose, putting something over the regular keyboard would kind of restrict it beyond use. Hold, lemme get the full path. [04:45] ariscop: /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/mousekeys [04:46] Wondering if there is some way (xkbd?) to enter those assignments from a script... [04:46] Yeah, I'm thrashing and a bit flaky, been at this for a while... [04:48] K`zan this might help http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-USB-3D-Optical-Finger-Mouse-Mice-fr-Laptop-PC-Computer-Notebook-Handheld-G9-/151166717522?pt=Mice&hash=item23323d0e52 [04:48] K`zan, quick sanity check, you have verified that the file hasn't been overwritten? things in /usr/share won't be kept if modified [04:48] FuuqUmiist: CHecking, thanks. [04:48] or maybe this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Y01-3-button-mouse-Convinient-Optical-Thumb-controlled-Trackball-Mouse-Mice-/111150130196?pt=Mice&hash=item19e1106414 [04:49] FuuqUmiist: Considered that, but she has no use of her hands :-(. [04:50] ariscop: Yes, the file has been overwritten with the changes I made to it. [04:52] If this: " interpret KP_1 { [04:52] action = MovePtr(x=-1,y= +1); [04:52] };" can be entered some other way, that might solved the problem... [04:52] K`zan, i meen during a package upgrade, it'll just wipe whatever is there and replace it [04:52] I have a setterm command and a setfont command being run in my rc.local file. I know the commands are getting executed (verbose output sent to a log file), but the effects of them are getting reset when the TTY login screen shows up. Why is this and how can I fix it/get around it? [04:53] doesn't seem to be a way to keep it in /etc though :( [04:53] ariscop: Yes, that is what wiped the changed file, replaced it and still not working... [04:53] why not just get speech recognition software like Stephen Hawking [04:54] Hummmm, perhaps xmodmap, checking. [04:54] FuuqUmiist: She refuses to use windows (yes, sigh, *I* know). [04:55] I bought her Dragon... [04:55] i've just stumbled across xmodmap also, compat/mousekeys implies that it's capable of it on my system [04:56] ariscop: That might well be the answer here :-), if Xorg ignores that config, I can do it myself. I think. Checking. [04:56] can someone help me with REDIR? I need port forwarding for xchat. [04:58] does linux have any speech recognition apps? [05:00] K`zan, http://askubuntu.com/questions/88948/control-mouse-pointer-with-keyboard-without-a-number-pad [05:00] it suggests using keynav instead of xkb [05:03] K`zan, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Speech_Recognition there's also a few options for voice recognition, i can't say how well they work though [05:03] I forgot my password (it's for a site I'm an authorized user on) does anyone have any experience with xHydra or similar tools? === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [05:10] so I just installed the moka icon theme. I don't know how to actually change icon themes though. [05:11] ariscop Checking... Thanks! [05:14] ariscop Thanks for those links, I'll look them over tomorrow, I'm beat and kind of burned out ATM. *****MUCH APPRECIATED and THANKS*****. [05:20] I accidentally started formatting (format process was just started ) my external hard disk ( NTFS ). Now, I am not able to mount it. The device is not being recognized to have an NTFS signature. How can I browse the files that have not been deleted ? [05:23] kreig_ try the TestDisk app, there should be tutorials on the net [05:24] that should work if you do it properly, it worked for me, but you can also use PhotoRec to recover some videos and photos [05:25] kreig_ basic formatting just erases the indexing, nothing will actually be deleted unless you write stuff on the disk [05:26] just need to fix the directory [05:34] I am using mysql cluster to save all data for 3 logic servers , but I am wondering if I need to create 3 different tables for each ,or just use one table ? [05:39] Is sudoedit affected by an encrypted home directory? I can't get sudoedit to use vim by default. Using "EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim" in .profile. [05:41] as long as home is mounted your .profile should be accessible [05:42] I even resourced .profile after editing it. This seems trivial, but I've never come across this kind of problem. [05:42] joined #ubuntu [05:42] #ubuntu [05:43] ? [05:45] Looks like the issue was solved with a quick "sudo update-alternatives --config editor" command. [05:46] Semor: I'd keep the data in different tables. You can still run queries against all 3 but it will be easier to automate queries later on if you have the data separated === Neozonz is now known as Guest31719 === mnepton is now known as mneptok [05:51] Hi all [05:51] hi [05:51] I ran pppoe-config once to troubleshoot my modem. Now, every time I boot, I have to wait a few minutes as it keeps trying to establish a ppp connection. How do I turn this off? [05:52] how's it going? [05:53] callipygous: so you're not using your modem anymore I take it? [05:53] How can I print all debug/ouput logs to a text file in an application which is running in background in linux [05:54] use 'daemon name' > 'filename' when start up ? [05:55] I don't try it [05:55] Stainedhat: no [05:55] kanupatar: " &> output.txt &" should do it [05:56] win#1 [05:56] Why is the chrome icon blue? [05:56] it's chromium not chrome [05:56] i think [05:57] Stainedhat: "test_app &> text-file &" ? [05:57] callipygous: look at your /etc/network/interfaces file and comment out or remove the ppp section [05:57] kanupatar: yes [05:57] kanupatar: I think that should work [05:58] anyone can tell me how to avoid the information about "someone join/quit channel"? [05:58] ok, I'll try that [05:59] the &> redirects stderr and stdout to the file and the & after it forces it to run in the background.. you may also be able to start it with just the redirection then hit ctrl-z then type bg [05:59] Stainedhat: can you explain that command? [05:59] Stainedhat: "test_app &> text-file &" ? [06:00] I just did [06:00] test_app --> my test application [06:00] & means? [06:00] > means? [06:00] read my last comment ^ [06:00] text-file --> ouput log file [06:01] hi. i just installed ubuntu server on my dedicated server. i now how remote access via ssh. how do i setup gui so i can remotely connect to it? [06:02] Stainedhat: didnot clear sorry [06:02] kanupatar: huh? [06:02] Stainedhat: "test_app &> text-file &" [06:02] I understand the last & [06:03] but not the first & [06:03] funyun: you can either use X-forwarding by adding -X to shh command or use another tool like VNC or teamviewer, etc [06:03] kanupatar: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html [06:03] it is used to redirect output to your file.. all stderr and stdout [06:04] * kanupatar confused about the first & [06:04] Stainedhat: so it won't look the same way ubuntu desktop looks? [06:04] * kanupatar second & would only be used for running app in bacground [06:04] essentially all output your program generates goes to your file, both errors and regular expected output.. if you don't want errors then just use > [06:05] kanupatar: read the link I posted and you will understand [06:05] if you use 2> you get stderr [06:05] What does the &> mean? [06:05] callipygous: yes, that was my question [06:05] oh [06:06] funyun: it will if yuo use vnc or temaviewer or any other remote desktop solution. if you jest need to access a single X program you can use ssh -X user@server to allow whatever programs you execute to run on your local display [06:06] callipygous: it means you are redirecting both stderr and stdout [06:07] Stainedhat: so just do apt-get install teamviewer? [06:07] kanupatar: I've explained it 3 times now and posted a link to a complete breakdown of output redirection. if you still don't understand it you should probably go google it cause I can't make it any clearer [06:08] funyun: no, I don't think it's in the repos.. you'll have to wget the .deb file from teamviewer.com and install it with dpkg [06:09] enali:in irssi write /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits [06:09] i dont know about other clients [06:09] funyun: you can also just use vnc which may be easier [06:10] Stainedhat: thanks [06:10] callipygous: np, did clearing out the ppp stuff work? === samhassell is now known as samh_afk [06:12] funyun: you may also want to look into xrdp if you are connecting from a windows machine [06:12] Stainedhat: connecting from a mac === ubuntu is now known as pravinmishra [06:13] funyun: I'd say vnc then.. especially if you don't have access to the gui already. [06:14] funyun: but if you're connecting from a remote location and you need to open the ports up to the internet I would recommend running vnc on a non standard port to avoid a million login attempts per day from skriddies [06:14] Stainedhat: i connected with vnc and there's just a blank page [06:14] with nothing on it [06:15] and an X as a curser [06:15] funyun: once you have vnc access check out teamviewer.. i've found it to be pretty good [06:16] you may have an issue in your xstartup file.. try gnome-classic [06:16] funyun: ^ [06:16] Stainedhat: it says no /home/user/.xsession file [06:17] Stainedhat: so do apt-get install gnome-classic?

[07:50] I've had an odd experience with my companies vpn. on ubuntu 13.10 I created a VPN connection and everything worked as expected. it used the specified dns and directed traffic correctly. recently I had to reinstall 13.10 and this time around I decided to try adding search domain (this was something I had done in the past). now the search domain works, but i can't access nodes unless I remove the searched domain. for example if the host [07:50] I'm trying to access is 'foo.bar.myco.com' and the search domain is 'myco.com' I can access it via ssh foo.bar, but I can't access it via 'foo.bar.myco.com' anymore [07:50] sorry for the long message [07:50] rysh: can you help me? [07:50] I've tried removing the search domain in the VPN settings, but my resolv.conf still ends up with the search domain [07:50] PatBateman, if you do NOT format you /home (assuming that its on separate partition) then just install git and your git should work [07:51] I've also tried deleting the VPN connection and starting over, but the same thing happens and the search domain shows up in resolv.conf [07:51] abhvym: thanks, and what if I install a fully new version with format? all my git settings are gone? [07:52] PatBateman, if you format *everithing* on that partition will be gone. === leif is now known as Guest14970 [07:52] PatBateman: why not just make a copy of .git ? [07:52] abhvym: so I have to set all thinks for all my project to deploy to my server? [07:53] gordonjcp: is it enough? [07:53] PatBateman, Backup would be better. [07:53] PatBateman: enough for what? [07:53] gordonjcp: i copy back the .git folder to my project and will work? [07:54] no, probably not [07:54] yeah I guess [07:54] is this your machine's git configuration, or your project? [07:54] ~/.git contains your git user settings [07:54] Im asking my project [07:54] like, name, email and so on [07:55] PatBateman: okay, what exactly are you trying to do? [07:56] ~/.gitconfig contains your global git config, project/.git/config contains the local git config for that project [07:56] so, I want a new ubuntu install, and setup my dev. environment again. files/folders/lamp settings are okey, but Im curious about git settings. [07:56] geirha: hm nice [07:57] so save the global gitconfig and all projects with .git configs and probably will works after the new install [07:57] *work [07:58] PatBateman: They are text files, so look at them in a pager or editor; they're easy to read [07:58] i know that just not sure when i reinstall git at the beginning will it delete/modify something ... [07:59] but now its clear [07:59] Hey guys. I'm having an issue with my desktop with Ubuntu. I am getting a 'Kernel panic' error. And before this I was getting a failed to execute /sbin/init. For some reason I can't get Ubuntu Live to load up but the install portion works. I even tried installing to another HDD and I get this all over again.

[08:04] rysh: integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 [08:12] akaWolf: which Ubuntu version? 32 or 64 bit? Intel seem to develop Graphics drivers for linux themselves [08:12] https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ [08:14] rysh: x64 14.04 [08:15] akaWolf: Seems that one it not yet supported by Intel [08:16] You might try the 13.10 version, but it is not recommended ... [08:18] akaWolf: Seems someone here got the 4600 to work on Ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2191109 [08:18] akaWolf: I just skimmed the thread, but might be worth looking at. [08:19] hm [08:20] rysh: I install a drivers before upgrade distr [08:22] akaWolf: You mean you did upgrade from 13.10 with dist-upgrade? [08:22] rysh: yeah, from 13.04 [08:23] Was video working OK then in 13.04? [08:24] rysh: no [08:26] akaWolf: If I were you I would go back to 13.10 and try those Intel drivers Intel developed themselves ... 14.04 is BETA and not yet supported by Intel [08:27] akaWolf: I do not have experience with Intel graphic drivers though ... [08:28] hm [08:32] rysh: how to install a 13.10 drivers? [08:34] akaWolf: you can go that website I showed earlier and download the deb file behind the 13.10 link [08:35] https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ [08:37] rysh: deb with graphical installer? [08:37] rysh: no. graphical installer -- bad idea... [08:37] or in console with dpkg -i xyz.deb [08:38] graphical installer -- deb package... and he installs a drivers. but it's works not so good. and I want to direct install necessary drivers from deb. [08:41] akaWolf: Sorry, seems I can't help you [08:44] nick:password [08:45] which is the best ubuntu version? [08:48] im not sure where to ask, but is there a list somewhere about major changes in 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04 [08:48] some kind of changelog of major things [08:49] kernel differences can be the diffrent hardware that is compatable with ubuntu linux [08:49] login [08:50] which kernel do users in the channel have? i choose to adopt ubuntu LTS [08:50] i am guessing kernel diffrences have their own filesystem diffrences [08:51] How would i copy A file from relative path to current path [08:51] instead of two partitions on a device, have five [08:52] how is the post precise releases going for filesystems? [08:52] monkwitdafunk: kernel differences have to do with differences in CPU architecture [08:52] bray90820 you mean how to copy from symbolic link to an actual path? [08:52] not file system differences [08:53] mici: i think so [08:54] that is ubuntu for amd64 i am using [08:55] bray90820 you can just use the symbolic link and it copies the actual file. [08:55] what about input and output before the operating system [08:56] mici: what I want to do is copy a file from a different directory than the one i am in without changing directories [08:57] bray90820: cp folder/tothe/file . [08:58] I'll try it [09:00] llutz: i keep typing in the relative path but it says No such file or directory [09:00] hey ubuntu channel, speaking of the new long term release and its kernel diffrences with the previous generation, does that mean intels previous generation is not compatable with ubuntu [09:00] bray90820: then your path is wrong [09:01] It's not tho which is where I am confused [09:01] think about this... the best of the 65W thermal design power for the intel core 2 [09:01] bray90820: ls -l path/to/file [09:02] or the best 65W thermal design for the amd athlonx3 the hallmark of cores per dollar [09:04] Hi everyone [09:04] llutz: that didn't work [09:04] bray90820: then your path is wrong [09:04] but i can cd to it just fine if i am in the root [09:04] bray90820: then its a permission thing === gmrda is now known as digitalocean [09:04] I am having problems with an application to write to an lvm device [09:04] could not initialize storage "/dev/vgroot/trafficserver_vol" [unable to open] === digitalocean is now known as gmrda [09:05] bray90820: so what file do you want to copy, where is it and where do you want to copy it to? [09:05] Is there any way I can grant a user to give permission to write to a volume ? [09:06] llutz: I figured it oyt [09:06] out [09:07] The file i wanted to copy was 000 [09:07] My bad [09:07] The permissions on the file that is [09:08] bray90820: yep, hard to copy for a user then :) [09:10] hello everyone, I just created an extended partititon. I'd like to create further partitions on it, but I get this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066587/ [09:11] llutz: oh well [09:11] pimuig: your disk is mounted? [09:11] I will just have to go to the server tomorrow to manually copy the file [09:12] llutz, no. [09:12] bray90820: use sudo [09:12] llutz: if i has sudo permissions i would [09:13] bray90820: " but i can cd to it just fine if i am in the root" <- su? [09:13] my bad i ment ~ nor root [09:13] bray90820: whoops, sry i misread that [09:13] ok nevermind [09:14] but i ment ~and i did not mean root [09:14] so we both went wrong === Xgen is now known as Xgen_ === Xgen_ is now known as XenMaster === Xgen is now known as XenMaster [09:21] -rw-r--r-- means i have write permissions right? [09:21] llutz, disk utility program shows the extended partition as one (free) block. whereas gparted shows it scrambled into 4 partitions, which have never been created by me. [09:24] bray90820: yes [09:24] bray90820: if you are owner [09:24] llutz, the referred partitions are also shown here (sdb5 and sdb6): http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066634/ I haven't created them, don't know how come they show up. [09:24] pimuig: "sudo parted -l |pastebinit" [09:25] pimuig: well, someone must have created them or your partitiontable is broken === samhassell is now known as samh_afk === makije is now known as makije|away [09:26] kakahrf [09:27] Hello penguinstas :b [09:27] pimuig: if you haven't created them, remove sdb5+6, create new ones you want/need [09:27] llutz: thanks [09:27] llutz, here is the result of sudo parted -l [09:28] llutz, here is the result of sudo parted -l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066642/ [09:30] pimuig: none of the partitions on /dev/sdb appear to have any file systems [09:32] geirha, I dont know how they appeared. I havent created them. can someone do that remotely? [09:32] pimuig: have you used the disk before? [09:33] nichlas, yes, I did. but there were no such partitions before, either [09:33] pimuig: and of course someone could have done it remotely. but that would mean that they had your root password, or access to a wheel user [09:34] I do things like that remotely every day :) === leif is now known as Guest95674 [09:34] unless someone keylogged my pc, it is not possible that they know my password, right? [09:35] what is a wheel user? [09:36] ok, found it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_%28Unix_term%29 [09:36] group "wheel" is on lots of distros what "sudo/admin" on +buntu is [09:36] sorry, is it called sudoers or something like that? i forgot :) [09:37] if youre not supposed to be able to root in ubuntu why is sudo su a legit command [09:37] i mean not able to be [09:37] pimuig: yes, it is not very likely. if they had your password they would probably do other things to your box. [09:38] mici: you can limit the sudo commands in many different ways [09:38] mici: and unless you sudo every command, it is to make an extra step before you fuck things up :) [09:39] I think there have already been written books about that very subject, since Ubuntu was born. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [09:41] nichlas, I've been asking questions here about my partitions recently, during which I might have also received some links. is it possible that access to my devices would be gained this way? [09:42] hi all [09:42] how can i change permissions of a file in a usb which is FAT / NTFS formatted [09:43] currently it shows "operation not permitted" even if i run chown as root user [09:44] prem ntfs doesnt have unix permissions as is [09:45] mici, yes i read so., but there is should be a option or another way to do it ., right [09:46] pimuig: not likely. If anyone post a link or guides you to do something that compromises your system it would not go unnoticed. [09:46] you need to mount it with proper permissions for example sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000 /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever [09:46] pimuig: unless you pasted your password to paste.ubuntu.org [09:47] nichlas, thank you, good to know. I just deleted the dubious partitions, even the extended partition. yet, when I then recreated the extended one, exactly the same partitions are there again now. [09:47] sdb4, sdb5, sdb6 [09:47] pimuig: it is also very unlikely that if anyone gained access to your system, that they would start messing with your partitions. There are much more fun things to do :D [09:48] pimuig: have you tried using theother partition editor to create them? [09:48] prem also you might want to check ntfs-3g for more info about giving actual permissions to files (afaik not windows compatible) [09:48] pimuig: remember, nothing is changed during the configuration. It only changes when you ask the partition editor to write the changes. [09:49] oh well.. sorry to have to leave like this, but i have work bugging me [09:50] nichlas, I used ubuntu disk utility to create the extended partition, it usually just creates the partition when I select the size and filesystem format. [09:50] please how do i setup my hostname with a domain if i have not registered one. I have installed sendmail but can't use mail() ... this is how my host file looks http://pastebin.com/4jTGDzwY [09:51] pimuig i recommend gparted :) [09:51] What domainname do you use?

I dont have rw or umask there [09:57] what could be the reason === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [09:59] Hi all [09:59] is the mount local or remote in the other server [09:59] mici: it is local [09:59] its from /dev/sda2 [10:00] and the weird part is i cant even umount using umount /usr/local but i can with mount -o remount,rw /usr/local [10:01] so this is a different computer and different hdd with different config? also does the remount rw give permissiona [10:01] mici: both are vms, setup is the same, one is a copy of the other [10:01] permissions ? [10:03] does the mount -o remount,rw give the needed permissions? i cant think a reason why it wouldnt work the same as the other computer if they truly are identical [10:04] unless the vm is trying to mount a phusical disk [10:04] physical* [10:04] im trying to increase the size of my tmp psrtition temporarily by moving it to a usb stick or somryhinh [10:04] doesnt work [10:04] nichlas, it seems that I cant password-protect the partition while creating it with gparted [10:06] how do i extend thre size of /tmp so i can install this famn unetbootin ubuntu [10:08] hello again! I have a strange problem with mesa lib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066804/ [10:09] llutz, nichlas seems to have left, could you please help me know if I can password-protect the partition while creating it with gparted?

I have installed sendmail but can't use mail() ... this is how my host file looks http://pastebin.com/4jTGDzwY [10:11] kingplusplus: you do not need a domain [10:12] whoami shows : user1 and on terminal my host name is thegreat so i have user1@thegreat.... tried adding .com to my hostname . i.e thegreat.com it still didn't work [10:12] but it cannot hurt [10:12] does gparted enable encryption of a partition while creating it? === tcpman is now known as Guest22509 [10:12] pimuig: looks like it does not [10:12] Guest43468, is their anything to be done? [10:13] yes, if you are serious about email you want a domain name registered [10:14] then my problem persists. disk utility gives error that I mentioned earlier, and gparted doesnt encrypt. is there maybe a third tool to create password-protected partitions? [10:14] pimuig: you can use luks [10:14] and cryptsetup [10:14] it is commandline only i think [10:15] just google what you need to do and there will be stepbystep iunstructions [10:15] Guest43468, which one do you mean is commandline? luks or cryptsetup, or both? [10:15] theyre all commandline [10:16] maybe you want tryecrypt which might have a gui === leif is now known as Guest65117 [10:18] hm.. [10:19] Can someone tell me what I should call the GUI in Ubuntu? === Guest43468 is now known as nickslave [10:19] can anybody help me? [10:19] they both look advanced tools. and truecrypt seems another story to me. why did disk utility not work, cant understand. [10:19] pimuig: no idea [10:19] most linux stuff may seem advanced [10:19] I have a strange issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066804/ [10:20] I don't know why, but system is not trying to load a i915_dri.so [10:21] RobDude: can you rephrase? [10:21] akaWolf: You're probably better asking that in #ubuntu+1 as it looks like you're using the beta release of 14.04 [10:21] DJones: it's also and on the 13.04 and 13.10 [10:22] well, 13.04 is out of support. and 14.04 is still beta. so try with a fresh 13.10 install and show the errors again [10:24] I got one step closer to why disk utility gave that error and didnt perform partitioning. It lies on the machine. I tried it on another pc and disk utility created the partition. so what might be wrong with my "device" ? (the error was: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066587/) [10:25] pimuig: is this a clean disk or is there something on it? [10:25] k1l, the disk has data on it in other partitions. [10:26] pimuig: so my first guess is that is got too many primary partitions on it? can you check that [10:27] k1l, yes, there are multiple partitions already. that's why I had to create the last one as an extended partition [10:28] pimuig: Are you creating a logical partition inside an extended partition? [10:31] RobDude, yes [10:32] RobDude, and they could not be created via disk utility on one machine, while it was smoothlessly done on another.

[15:50] i ned halp wit mi dakstop [15:50] me instal ubonto and blak [15:51] say eror [15:51] !pt | nohazmony try this if its too hard to write in english [15:51] nohazmony try this if its too hard to write in english: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [15:51] How do I find the path to a command? For instance, in a terminal, i can type 'gedit' to open.. well.. gedit. but I'm trying to associate text files with gedit in another app, and it wants the path to the 'executable'. (yay for cross platform apps) [15:51] mi no br [15:52] mi espanol [15:52] The main idea is a server running a service. When it receives input from a client, the input is printed. I'd like the printing to freeze the execution of the thread for a while. I thought the bell char would do it but apparently not [15:52] pero viviendo en portugal [15:52] !es [15:52] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [15:52] kriel: that's not a totally well defined concept [15:53] ubottu me ayudas? mi computador esta estropeado, se queda negro [15:53] nohazmony: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:53] kriel: however you can use the commands "which" and "type" to locate *executables*. For file association to applications things are not as simple as you think. === Dureiken_ is now known as Dureiken [15:53] Walex2: okay. Let me ask a different way. On windoze, I could right click a shortcut and it would tell me 'firefox' lives at c:\program files\mozilla\firefox.exe. How do I ask linux where gedit is, in \bin\wherever\idontknowthispath\gedit [15:53] nohazmony: the bot gave you 2 channels where you can talk in spanish or portuguese. better try them [15:54] callate cono, no me has ayudado, vosotros son cancers [15:54] all the shortcuts (.desktop files) i could find just refer to 'gedit', but filezilla (the app i'm asking about) won't take it. says it's not a valid path. [15:55] kriel: a shortcut in MS-Windows is not an executable, it is a file pointing at an executable. [15:55] k1l eres una mierda cabron [15:55] tu madre es una puta de mierda [15:55] hello ppl [15:56] nohazmony: no habla espanol. are you speaking spanish? [15:56] kriel: 'which' and 'type' for executables [15:56] im portuguse [15:56] any woman talk to me? [15:56] Walex2: got it. Thanks. [15:56] docepoeta: wrong channel, wrong network [15:57] kriel: but note that some file associations require '.desktop' paths and some require executable paths. [15:57] Walex2: I'm still newish to linux, I don't have all the syntax down. I come from a windoze background. [15:58] problem solved, so thanks for that, but i'd like to hear more if you have the time, or can point me towards a lightweight reference. [15:58] kriel many of the commands you use are in /usr/bin or /bin [15:58] kriel: look for example at 'man xdg-mime' and at 'man 5 mailcap' [15:59] kriel: fortunately for you GNU/Linux is become ever more similar in design to MS-Windows :-(. [16:00] from what i can tell, there're still core distinctions in the way the filesystem works. Yes, they're coming to a kind of convergence, but because of the way its rooted, things work differently. [16:00] I actually just moved back from win7 to (L)ubuntu, and I forgot how much I liked it. I'm getting reacquainted. [16:01] last i was here was.. whatever the LTS before 12.04 was. [16:01] cuz i got annoyed at unity on the ubuntu dist. [16:01] kriel: actually as to "the way its rooted" NTFS works almost the same as GNU/Linux filesystems and things like volumes and drive letters in MS-Windows NT are actually MS-DOS emulations for backwards compatibility. [16:02] Walex2: i was referring to the way everything's split up into {/var, /dev, /etc, etc} and the concept of 'everything is a file or a folder'. [16:04] kriel: GNU/Linux is becoming ever more MS-Windows like in those two ways :-( [16:04] kriel: but fortunately rather slowly. [16:05] Walex2: ...really? =( [16:05] Walex2: kriel can you guys talk about that in #ubuntu-offtopic and stick to specific ubuntu support in here? thanks [16:05] k1l: sorry about that. Thanks for helping me with my problem. === Neozonz|Disc is now known as Guest279 [16:06] kriel: if the program destination is in $PATH there is no need to give the fullpath. [16:07] If $PATH is defined [16:07] gvo: which is on a standard ubuntu :) [16:08] k1l: the (app)? I was using wanted the fullpath. dunno why. Walex2 pointed out 'which gedit' which gave me the path i needed. problem is solved :) [16:11] hello [16:12] err hello Tom1 === ubuntu is now known as Guest62507 === Guest62507 is now known as pravinmishra [16:14] I'm getting messages that /boot is full (12.04.03 x64), and from what I've read I need to remove some of the older files in that directory. The thread was from 2010 though, so is it safe to remove all files for each of the file sets (abi, config, initrd, memtest86, System.map, and vmlinuz) except for the two most recent in order to free up space? [16:14] Since the files listed in the thread would be out of date in comparison to the ones I have in my directory [16:14] you probably only need to remove old unused kernels. I have to do that as well every now and then. [16:15] The initrd.img files? [16:16] Ah, I should just move them to /home and then if I run into issues I can move them back rather than remove [16:17] Is there any way to access the previous version of a ppa package? [16:17] fartface: you can remove old kernels with their packages (linux-image-......) that will clean the /boot folder, too [16:17] Ah, that might be safer [16:17] Hi. I'm running ubuntu 13.10 on a mid-2012 macbook air. I updated os x, and now I can't boot. I'm booting with grub via EFI. Any ideas? [16:18] fartface: yep. and dont forget the linux-header-... packages to that kernels. [16:18] hello [16:18] how to stop network manager adding nameserver 127.0.0.1 to my resolv.conf ? [16:18] I already tried booting via install disk, chrooting, and running update-grub. That didn't work. [16:19] leeyaa, I opted for chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf ;) - immunizing file [16:19] iptable: i dont think i want to do this [16:19] any alternative ? === leif is now known as Guest64418 [16:20] leeyaa, alternatively you may look into the configuration of dnsmasq - which is what actually does the change. [16:20] i might as well remove resolvconf package [16:20] leeyaa, and on top of that you can reconfigure the resolvconf package, adding appropriate header/footer lines [16:20] jstew: maybe this will help, I had to do these steps on my pro http://www.billsdon.com/2011/12/install-linux-mint-12-lisa-13inch-macbook-air-4-2-2011-model/ [16:20] why does ubuntu desktop ignore sysctl.conf? [16:20] iptable: hm but i have no localhost line in resolvconf [16:20] k1l: Hmm, can't even use dpkg at the moment so I may have to manually remove [16:21] the first thing I have to do to boot all my ubuntu desktops is run sysctl -p [16:21] leeyaa, but dnsmasq is what normally works with network-manager to change the resolv.conf and add 127.0.0.1. [16:21] leeyaa, localhost line? I thought you said you have "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in your resolv.conf? [16:21] iptable: thats localhost isnt it ;p [16:22] BLZbubba: does it? Then it is one of the cases where the local sysadm is expected to do their thing with '/etc/rc.local' for example [16:22] dryicebomb: Yeah, that is for hybrid MBR. I'm booting straight from efi. Using these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy [16:22] leeyaa, you said you had that line. now you say you don't have it. [16:22] was working great until the OS X update fucked it all up. [16:22] my led monitors makes clicking sound. [16:22] iptable: i have it in resolv.conf after i restart networking for so me reason [16:22] is there a gnome shell irc? [16:22] leeyaa, alternatively install nm-tools and use nmcli to change network-manager config. [16:23] Nevermind I killed the rogue process and it's fine now [16:23] using ubuntu gnome and have a question about gnome 3.9 vs. 3.10 === PaulW2U is now known as G4MBY [16:23] Ah, nm.... I think I know the problem after looking at that article again. Mac OS must have switched the boot order in EFI. [16:24] leeyaa, so, as I said, reconfigure dnsmasq, change network-manager config and/or modify resolvconf config [16:24] leeyaa, all 3 work together to provide the service [16:25] leeyaa, but you would be best off leaving the automatic adding of 127.0.0.1 alone and just reconfigure dnsmasq (which is the localhost service) to query the upstream nameserver of your choice. [16:25] iptable: i prefer if i dont install extra packages as i need to do it on few more boxes with legacy ubuntu. what could add nameserver to resolv.conf ? [16:26] if not resolvconf [16:26] I have a shared directory on a ubuntu machine that I am trying to share between OS X and Windows computers. I have my users in a group and the group has read & execute/read/write permissions. When I connect from my windows computers and try to create a file/directory in the shared directory I get an error saying I don't have permsssion. [16:26] leeyaa, the idea of putting 127.0.0.1 into resolv.conf and using dnsmasq as a configured forwarding nameserver is to try and run away from the limitations of resolv.conf. [16:26] leeyaa, do you have dnsmasq running on those? I'm not saying "add". [16:26] iptable: is that a service or something ? [16:26] oh boy [16:26] leeyaa, as root: netstat -anp |grep LISTEN |grep 53 [16:27] leeyaa, check the PID, ps -ef |grep PID and check the name [16:27] i'd like to set up an ubuntu kiosk machine, where on startup it runs one program, and when that one program exits it shuts down. suggestions? [16:27] I also have samba users created and associated with the shared directory. [16:27] fartface, http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu [16:27] there is a guide you can use === Dureiken_ is now known as Dureiken [16:27] leeyaa, typically you get network-manager+dnsmasq+resolvconf alltogether. In ubuntu certainly. [16:27] scroll down to 'synaptic' for the easiest method. [16:28] iptable: well there is bind on this box yes, it is my local dns server [16:28] Bookmark the page for the future. You will need to do this again in a year or so. [16:28] leeyaa, ok, so you got bind instead of dnsmasq. so what is wrong with querying your local bind? [16:28] Tom1: that clicking sound issue is probably more a topic for #hardware [16:29] leeyaa, I'm guessing you use DHCP(?), otherwise you would not have this problem. [16:29] Tom1: but it may simply be the power supply/converter inside the screen [16:29] iptable: actually nothing. i just want to make it identical to others (same config, same ubuntu, different behaviour) [16:29] no static ips [16:29] got it. nvm. [16:29] n0x_42: that is a difficult topic. The big question is: how do the server and the client agree on user names? [16:30] leeyaa, so when you put static DNS configuration in the GUI network manager, what happens? === rudyismydog is now known as mydogsnameisrudy [16:30] iptable: there is no gui [16:30] Well, from the windows side, when I connect to the client I just enter in the user info of the user that was created on the ubuntu computer. [16:30] here, on same ubuntu, different server, no 127 entry in resolv.conf http://bpaste.net/show/sM72LJdJHDY3ezEuvGfe/ [16:31] leeyaa, uhm. what version of ubuntu we talking about anyways? [16:31] I wouldn't actually need to create the same users on the client would I? [16:31] iptable: 6 [16:31] leeyaa, 6 what? [16:31] leeyaa, there is no such thing as version 6 of ubuntu [16:31] hi [16:31] oh wait, its precise [16:31] Codename: precise [16:32] 12.04 LTS [16:32] but i bot some hardy servers too [16:32] same config [16:32] leeyaa, so why did you say "legacy ubuntu"? [16:32] For example, let's say I have tom and mark as users in the group shared. Those users are on ubuntu. When I connect to the shared directory from Windows I connect as user tom. The group shared has read/write/execute permissions on the shared directory. Since tom is a part of that group, he should have the same permissions correct? [16:33] leeyaa: i thought that server is hardy or what do you call it the one before, drapper or something like that. but it is another server [16:33] anyway how to stop it adding nameserver 127.0.0.1 [16:33] leeyaa, I really need to know the version to tell you. different version, different way [16:34] iptable: http://bpaste.net/show/inD4rbnhRSmJbUZFrGjT/ [16:34] this is my working server [16:34] and this is the one that keeps messing with my resolv.conf [16:34] http://bpaste.net/show/S9VqJfaHqqdNx5RrSgsC/ [16:34] leeyaa, you do realise that it is no longer supported, right? for many years as well. [16:35] I disabled the UEFI before installing Win 7 64bit on my Laptop. Now when I want to install Ubuntu 13.10 with UEFi disabled, the BIOS does not detect USB device. Why is this happening? [16:35] iptable: yes, the one that i need to fix is 12.04 LTS [16:35] leeyaa, uhm, so why you telling me about the other one? [16:35] iptable: i was thinking im on another server, confused both of us, just forget it [16:36] how to fix it on 12.04 [16:36] yes i could just chattr it but it is stupid [16:36] leeyaa, nameserver 127.0.0.1 is NOT considered broken. What is the actual issue you are seeing with that as nameserver? this is by design. [16:36] leeyaa, what is stupid is trying to change the design [16:36] iptable: to make it identical with others [16:36] you are sure it is by design ? [16:37] what about for older versions ? [16:37] leeyaa, yes. you cannot make an OS from 2012 be the same as one from 2008. That's 4 years. In a windows world it would be like trying to make windows 2003 server the same as windows 2000 server. [16:38] iptable: i understand. im just used to make everything identical to avoid problems. [16:39] leeyaa, in 2008 the design was different and we normally put the nameservers in resolv.conf. in 2012, we put it differently. preferable for network-manager setups is to have 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf and make a local dns server listen on 127.0.0.1 and forward requests to the configured name server in it. [16:39] btw the issue is resolves hosts outside my local dns zone very slow. [16:39] leeyaa, making everything identical WILL cause problems. [16:40] but i guess i should look into my bind config [16:40] leeyaa, yes, it's the bind config that is at fault. [16:40] leeyaa, use forwarders in bind config to forward to the DNS servers you want to [16:40] thanks iptable [16:40] leeyaa, why are you using network-manager anyways? [16:40] iptable: leeyaa If you remove the network-manager package, you can go back to the old way of doing things. [16:40] iptable: no idea, i inherited this insane setup [16:41] leeyaa, is the server connected via wifi? [16:41] iptable: any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is localhost [16:41] im coming from centos world [16:41] i changed the sources list to saucy now apt-get install shows a bunch of packages to be removed which i know is not right (it tries to remove apt). also lsb_release shows 14.04, i switched things back to saucy to try to downgrade and i think i've royally screwed things up [16:41] iptable: no, vm cluster [16:41] leeyaa, I don't see a reason to have network-manager on a static server, but it could just be me [16:41] iptable: you can pig 127.254.254.254 and it will reply [16:41] ActionParsnip, I know. I learnt it on CCNA, thanks. [16:41] err, i tried upgrading to trusty by manually changing [16:41] iptable: I agree. [16:41] iptable: i totally agree, i was planning to remove it, but wasnt sure if it is the reiht way for ubuntu [16:41] right* [16:42] leeyaa, when you install ubuntu server, you get it WITHOUT network manager, which is the right way for ubuntu [16:42] leeyaa, someone installed it there. [16:42] i see [16:42] great, so i will just remove resolvconf package [16:42] and be done with it [16:43] dmarr: If you want to go back to saucy, backup and reinstall [16:43] thank you iptable [16:43] leeyaa, and network-manager. then reconfigure all your interfaces using /etc/network/interfaces [16:43] leeyaa, no problem. make sure you got iLO or physical access or such like to the server first. [16:43] usr13, why thank you :) [16:44] iptable: i do, i have vmware kvm and xen as hosts [16:44] leeyaa: If you sudo apt-get remove network-manager you'll want to edit /etc/network/interfaces for IP configuration, (and use /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver IP). [16:44] ActionParsnip, sorry, when I pig 127.254.254.254 it does not reply. PING on the other hand works, but still no replies ;) now go figure :P [16:44] user1: thats the way i am used to usr13 [16:44] ActionParsnip, it';s a game btw. I do know the answer :D [16:45] ActionParsnip: How about just ping 127.0.0.1 ? [16:45] leeyaa, and that's the preferred way on ubuntu server. someone just configured it different for one reason or another. [16:46] iptable: well it is weird, this setup is like 10y old now. someone didnt know what they were doing i guess [16:46] and now i have to fix their mess [16:46] usr13, that's not enough digits for some :P On another note, the security-sick admins will block addresses other than 127.0.0.1 unless otherwise needed for some obscure reasons I am dimly aware of :D [16:46] ActionParsnip: Actually, they both work for me. ping 127.254.254.254 #Also pings.. [16:47] iptable: i got outgoing icmp requests blocked in one of my dcs :D [16:47] leeyaa, don't want to be a pain in the ***, but ubuntu 8.04 is from 2008, which is 6 years old, not 10 :P [16:47] usr13: its yin the same subnet, it will all work [16:47] iptable: i told you i have ubuntu 6 too whatever the version is ;p dont know what they were using before that but setup is about 10y old now [16:47] ActionParsnip, nope. as just stated, it might not as some security-panicy admins do iptables rules to block IPs other than 127.0.0.1 [16:48] iptable: Description: Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS [16:48] :D [16:48] old old [16:48] insane [16:48] leeyaa, 6.06 is STILL not 10yo. That's 8, but close :D [16:48] Anyone know of a workaround of missing ia32-libs in 14.04.. Aftershot Pro requires the package... [16:48] iptable: depends on firewalls but the default setup will ping as any ip in the range will reply from the same pc [16:48] jorn_, yes, install ia32-libs [16:48] iptable: really un responsible admins out there [16:49] leeyaa, yes. [16:49] iptable : it's depricated in 14.04 :/ [16:49] hi, quick question: where can I find the config file for nautilus? I'm trying to change it so that the bookmarks sidebar doesn't appear in the Open File dialog (used by browsers, for example) [16:49] ActionParsnip, "default setup" with ubuntu server with network-manager installed is a big assumption on your side [16:50] hey guys, if I modify rc.local do I need to "update" anything to ensure that whatever I added to rc.local will actually happen at startup? [16:50] nope sudormrf [16:50] sudormrf: No [16:50] sweet :) [16:50] jorn_, ia32-libs is just a meta-package to pull loads of 32bit packages [16:51] iptable : I've tried to install the suggested packages : lib32z1 , lib32ncurses5 and lib32bz2-1.0, but it does not work.. [16:51] jorn_, run ldd /your/binary to find out what is needed and install only those 32bit libs (like libname:i386) [16:51] ia32-libs was replaced with multiarch [16:51] iptable : I know, but it does not exist in 14.04s pool [16:51] jorn_: you're better off asking in #ubuntu+1 which is support for 14.04 [16:51] jorn_, what, 32bit packages, they do [16:51] somsip : I've tried.. not a very active channel :p [16:52] jorn_: it's the right place to get support for 14.04. Here is just for released versions [16:52] jorn_, e.g. aptitude search firefox returns firefox:i386 and firefox. that's on 14.04 I am on. [16:52] jorn_, just install the lib:i386 that you need to fulfil the packages [16:54] iptable : will try. thanks and sorry for asking questions in the wrong channel :) [16:55] ActionParsnip, I know. 127.0.0.0/8 actually terminates on loopback (lo) interface unless otherwise stated ;) [16:55] what is the proper etiquette for asking a question here? [16:55] iptable: exactly [16:55] iptable: so ubuntu server comes without nm and resolvconf packages by default? even new versions ? [16:55] No one answered the first time and I don't want to repeat-spam [16:55] iptable: so you can make localhost any IP you like in that subnet :) [16:56] ActionParsnip, I know. I was just refering to user stating they got nameserver 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf and then saying they don't have localhost... which didn't make sense. [16:56] sbol: if you edit the mime type in /usr/share/application you may be able to get rid but you may find it affects other apps [16:56] leeyaa, yes. server != desktop [16:56] iptable: ahhh makes sense now :) [16:57] leeyaa: you will get the network manager service, just no GUI clicky app [16:57] ActionParsnip, on what? ubuntu 14.04 server and 12.04 server don't come with network-manager preinstalled [16:57] leeyaa: there is wicd which will give a nice ncurses UI with wicd-curses, you can then remove network manager [16:58] ActionParsnip: Thank you! [16:58] ActionParsnip: i dont want any gui or extra packages [16:58] i dont need them [16:58] besides they just complicate tasks that people are used to [16:58] leeyaa: then install wicd curses and start wicd, you can then use wicd-curses [16:59] i just said i dont need extra packages ;p [16:59] leeyaa: http://atastypixel.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Screen-Shot-2011-09-24-at-14.37.111.png [16:59] leeyaa: then use /etc/network/interfaces [16:59] exactly what i plan to do [17:00] leeyaa: if you add lines to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head you can specify DNS servers === Dureiken__ is now known as Dureiken [17:00] ActionParsnip: i know.

Alternatively, if host is ubuntu, isntall qemu-kvm and VirtManager (that's the GUI), for the more native linux virtualization. [17:04] Ok im just creating it in VirtualBox now :D [17:05] iptable: thats what i wanted to know if you get it by default or you HAVE to install it if you want it [17:05] thanks === Guest88080 is now known as mbff [17:06] It says This needs a kernel Thing let me try the VirtualBox settings ;) [17:07] LMGN try the 32 bit version [17:07] Ok [17:07] LMGN i mean: the 32 bit iso [17:08] Yes thats what i am doing, Good job i have fiber internet!

[17:13] nikLongStone: that is the case. However, folders don't correspond to locations on the harddisk. So not all files in a folder are together on the disk [17:14] it looks like im going to have to reinstlal [17:14] After some recent automatic updates in 12.04.4, my volume up and down media keys no longer affect the computer volume. If I rebind them to play/pause in the keyboard settings, they work fine. But they won't change the volume - any ideas? [17:14] so if i have configs for things like znc how do i carry those over? [17:14] I have downloaded the x86 ver and i get this VirtualBox error when i insert the disk http://paste.ubuntu.com/7068742/ [17:14] * to be clear, they work fine in play/pausing the music, not in changing volume [17:15] Can we create a network on VIRTUALBOOX (Network Given Option) WHERE Machine A with start a TCP connection with Machine B via machine C.

(hidden files begin with a .) press ctrl-h in file manager to show them [17:16] dmarr: back up the ~/.znc directory [17:17] I have fixed that by going in to the IDE settings! [17:18] I have a shared folder but when a user creates a file that file is set to read-only for the group. How can I get created files to have read/write for the group? [17:21] I am done with this IRC Goodbye! [17:21] n0x_42, like, any use who creates file should be created with RW for user and group and no matter how they create the file? [17:22] Yeah that's correct iptable [17:22] n0x_42, http://www.linuxnix.com/2011/12/umask-define-linuxunix.html [17:23] n0x_42, if it's about permissions for users accessing a share and putting files on a share, it would be umask on SMB/CIFS share you are looking for [17:24] setgid http://terokarvinen.com/2011/shared-folder-with-chmod-setgid [17:26] is it better practice to paste a multiline script in /etc/rc.local or to have it run a seperate .sh ? [17:26] kriel: it depends a lot on your style of writing scripts. [17:27] Walex2: my script style sucks. =/ i'd actually like to learn the 'right' way (if there is one). i also need to learn how version control works .quiet laugh. [17:27] kriel: one of my 'rc.local' scripts is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7068799/ [17:28] Walex2: mind a PM? [17:29] there is some bug in screen lock [17:29] in 14.04 [17:29] keyboard does not focus and the password goes to last underlaying window [17:30] so happily it was irssi for me [17:30] so wrote my password on the chan [17:30] Thanks iptable. I used setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::rwx,o::r-x shared/directory [17:30] Is that not the ideal way to accomplish what I need? [17:31] I disabled the UEFI before installing Win 7 64bit on my Laptop. Now when I want to install Ubuntu 13.10 with UEFi disabled, the BIOS does not detect USB device. Why is this happening? [17:32] usbstick? [17:33] for me only couple usbs are working for booting [17:33] A1Recon: what's the hardware system you're running? HP Laptop by chance? [17:34] n0x_42, well, does it work? [17:34] No [17:34] n0x_42, then it's not ideal [17:35] Apparently not. [17:35] acl works perfectly but you must configure it correctly [17:35] CaptainTacoSauce: ASUS KV55M-SX086D with American Megatrends Aptio BIOS [17:35] After installing tomcat7.. I tried to switch to tomcat user on ubuntu like this: " $ sudo su tomcat7" but it does actually switch me, any idea why ? [17:35] Thanks bluefrog. I thought acl might be the best option but I wasn't sure if I was using it correctly. [17:36] I'll keep looking into it. [17:36] n0x_42, have you enabled acl for your system? [17:36] Yeah, I have. [17:36] some folders have permissions for tomcat7 user but I cannot switch.. [17:36] A1Recon: Ah okay, not sure then. Have you tried turning UEFI on to see if it recognizes the USB drive? The iso you copied on there likely has a UEFI boot partition. Also does the USB stick boot other hardware? === sparq_ is now known as sparq [17:37] I added it to /etc/fstab [17:37] Is that correct? [17:37] n0x_42, yes then you must remount the partition [17:37] to activate it [17:37] Yeah, I did that too. [17:38] setfacl -m d:g:users:w /path/to/folder [17:40] all new files in the folder would be "write" for the group "users" [17:41] CaptainTacoSauce: Yeah that's the thing... When I turn UEFI on it recognizes the USB otherwise it does not. And yes the USB has a folder called EFI in it. Is there a way to use the legacy booting for Ubuntu? [17:43] n0x_42, you will have to include all your users in such a group of course as by default they are only members of their own group (and some others but not "users") [17:44] I actually think that worked perfectly bluefrog, thanks! [17:46] hello guys [17:48] where can I find resolv.conf in my ubuntu 12.04?

If I create a file while connected to the shared drive and then check that file's permission on ubuntu it shows the group has read and write permissions. If another user connected to the shared directory tries to edit that file it won't save and says the file is read only. [17:54] where is actionparsnip [17:54] If I check the permission on the client computer it also shows the group has read/write permissions. [17:55] anybody?

If I execute rc.local, though, I see that the command does in fact work. Am I doing something wrong? [18:42] superbob__: you could use crontab to run your command. type "crontab -e" as the user you want the script to run as, then at the bottom type @reboot /path/to/script.sh [18:43] superbob__: rc.local runs with -e meaning it will exit on non 0 return. maybe something else in rc.local is returning non 0 before that command? [18:44] superbob__: I actually have a similar issue. However, the commands I have in rc.local run just fine, but their changes get reset [18:44] Ok so decided to go with ubuntu for my vps over windows. I have logged in via ssh using securecrt.

Just using Pidgin to test an IRC connection. === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [19:14] howudodat: I don't suppose it matters much what the name is, (I suppose we could change it, but...). [19:14] jack@jack-VirtualBox:~$ ps waxf | grep greet [19:14] 3283 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto greet [19:14] 1939 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/sbin/lightdm-gtk-greeter [19:14] 2775 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/sbin/lightdm-gtk-greeter [19:14] howudodat: What was your original question? What are you wanting to do with your network interfaces? [19:15] where i should start to search this power managment problem. that every 10min if i don't touch the laptop it goes to sleep. i can't see bios because screen is smashed (im using external). apm=off and acpi=off won't work. i took from startup also power managment off so...hmmm [19:16] tsak_: Might want: xset -dpms === jackson is now known as Guest57400 [19:16] usr13: em1 answers arp requests for wlan0 (look at first pastebin, arp table at end) [19:17] genii, hmm. ok i go to read what that does xD [19:17] tsak_: Turns off the power saving on monitor so it always stays on [19:18] howudodat: I find it rather ineteresting that you only have one line in persistent rules file. You only have Name="wlan0" [19:18] howudodat: Can you ping it's IP address? ping 192.168.1.4 [19:19] usr13: Yes, no ethX devices there.... [19:20] howudodat: (Check the ping times, should be somewhat less than 1ms) [19:20] jazzme: Wget from my machine downloads the full 7.4 MiB file. Could you please pastebin the output of "wget 'http://darelfen.com/compilations/100%20pour%20100%20Deep%20Session/CD1/20131222080031-03%20-%20Alexandre%20Renoir%20-%20Insomnia%20%28Luxury%20Mix%29.mp3' " from the proplematic machine? [19:20] So im installin lamp using the command sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin. I set my root password but now its asking about configuring database with dbconfig-common. [19:20] genii: Are you alos howudodat? [19:21] I can ping both, 1.3 and 1.4, ping times < 1ms, however pre first ping on wireless takes 5-10seconds, first ping still responds in < 1ms. pre-ping would be arp resolution [19:21] usr13: no I am just me :) [19:21] I need a better tutorial. the one im reading is not including all of the steps. [19:22] Hey folks, is there a difference between /var/spool/cron/crontabs and creating tabs under /etc/cron.d ? [19:22] Is either approach preferable? [19:22] howudodat: What verison of ubuntu-server do you have installed? cat /etc/issue [19:22] user13: 13.10 [19:23] how long I have support for this distribution [19:23] howudodat: Oh... 13.10. Ok. Is it fully updated? [19:23] howudodat: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [19:23] should be, did a upgrade and dist-upgrade after install [19:23] user13: last night [19:23] genii, i have viewsonic LCD TV (my external). there isn't that kind of power managment setting :/ [19:23] Jordan_U: there is no output, it just hangs. [19:24] genii, this is Oooold tv xD [19:24] howudodat: Have you tested the device to see if it works? Do you have it connected to anything? [19:24] jazzme: No output at all? Did your prompt change? [19:25] Jordan_U:I will pastebin what I get. [19:25] user13: yes, it works just fine. I can communicate wired or wireless. it's just that wireless is always a bit slow to get started - kind of like my old ford mustang, takes a few more cranks to get started, but outruns my wifes car every time :) outruns [19:26] Jordan_U:http://pastebin.com/pNgbph1D [19:27] Jordan_U:it hanged on 3% so I just ctrl-c [19:27] howudodat: Well,"if it aint broke, don't fix it" [19:28] hi there, i'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 8 on a new laptop. I've followed this guide: http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-windows.html [19:28] usr13: unfortunately I would consider the ethernet port answering arp request with its mac address in response to a request for the wireless broken :) [19:28] jazzme: Please run "ping 144.76.34.197" for a minute or two and see if you get any failures. [19:29] but i'm stuck at the step where you boot from the usb drive. i'm actually trying to boot from a dvd with the ubuntu iso but cant boot from the dvd. === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [19:29] i've disabled secure boot and turned off fast boot, and made sure the dvd drive is set to 1st in the boot order. [19:30] staticwarp, There is a uefi wiki and this thread, use info that is from ubuntu. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [19:30] when i boot it always goes into windows 8. [19:30] !uefi | staticwarp [19:30] staticwarp: 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 [19:30] thanks guys, i will check out both threads. === tbarlow is now known as Hategrin [19:32] Jordan_U:no errors [19:35] howudodat: ifconfig em1 hw ether e0:69:95:91:62:50 #You can put it in /etc/rc.local [19:35] Or use macchanger [19:35] unable to enumerate usb device, device not accepting address, what can I do, it's the Android phone in Download mode. [19:36] That is a pretty messy thing to do but.... [19:36] usr13: but isn't that its mac address already? what effect would that have? [19:37] howudodat: I don't know, try it and see [19:37] howudodat: Issue the above command and see if it then asnwers to it's own mac address> [19:37] Quick question: will Ubuntu keep Python 2.6.5 updated/supported/maintained for 10.04 LTS? [19:38] staticwarp, Note the instructions on the ubuntu thread on making a unallocated space in windows, imaging the windows and making a recovery disk [19:38] Duy_: You mean 12.04? or 14.04? [19:38] no [19:38] I meant 10.04 LTS [19:38] jazzme: You can always try "wget -c" to continue the failed download. [19:38] that runs until 2015 [19:38] Duy_: Is it now? === AEM` is now known as aem` [19:39] please elaborate [19:39] Beldar: thanks, i made sure to do that. i definitely need to be able to restore windows if something goes wrong. :) [19:39] Duy_: I'm asking you to elaborate. Are you wanting to stay on 2.6.5? Is that it? [19:39] jazzme: How long did you try waiting for the download to complete? [19:39] staticwarp, Yeah, we want that to. ;) [19:41] howudodat: I really don't have an explanation for what is happening on your system, not real sure what is causing the anomalies. I'm hoping someone else will chime in here... [19:41] howudodat: You might ask on #ubuntu-server [19:42] Beldar: the more i read about this the more i think i'll need to enable legacy boot (CSM). when i tried enabling it in uefi i got some scary message "this may cause your computer to be unable to boot the OS", so i held off on that for now. if i do that and for some reason can't boot the os, do you think i'll be able to recover from the usb windows image? [19:42] Im following a tutorial to install lamp. It says to run vi /var/www/info.php. I this but now I cant do anything in my ssh client. it gives like 15 lines with ~ on each line and then ends with."/var/www/info.php" [New File] [19:43] usr13: thanks, I'll try ubuntu-server === blueeagle is now known as BlueEagle [19:43] Midion_: Give us the URL (of the tutorial you are following). [19:43] Midion_: Then you ran your editor on the "/var/www/" directory, not a file. [19:44] staticwarp, The author of that thread on the UF is focused on this area and is on the UF daily. A thread with your info would probably get a visit there if needed. [19:44] http://www.unixmen.com/install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat/ [19:44] Midion_: [New File] means that you are about to create a new file, and that you are not editing an existing file. [19:45] Anyone know how I actually select English on this install screen? http://puu.sh/7qrT8.jpg Clicking enter on my keyboard or trying to use my mouse does not work. [19:45] Any reason midori often fails to download files? [19:45] jazzme: wget by default only considers a tcp connection failed if A: The server explicitly disconects or B: 15 minutes have passed with no data being transfered. You can change this 15 minute timeout with --read-timeout=number_of_seconds . [19:45] Beldar: cool, i will post there with the details of the issue. :) [19:45] I ran sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin instead of what that turorial said. [19:46] Midion_: So you're on 10.10? [19:46] yes its suppose to create a new file so i can enter a few lines to test if php is installed. [19:46] no [19:47] I see thats it says its creating a new file. its just that now it wont let me do anything else. [19:47] i press enter and nothing [19:47] Midion_: type: a then type your code, then hit escape and type :wq [19:48] Jordan_U:Thanks [19:48] Midion_: And which Ubuntu are you on, actually? [19:48] 13.04 [19:48] 13.04 is EOL since January. [19:48] cuddylier: does the enter key not work? or anything on the keyboard for that matter [19:49] hitsujiTMO It just went to a different screen where I could use all my keys [19:49] Weird [19:49] Do I have the option to set my SSDs to RAID 1 in the setup? [19:49] Or is that done after the install? [19:49] jazzme: You're welcome. Did changing --read-timeout= solve the problem for you? [19:49] Software RAID 1 btw [19:50] bekks: im just using what my vps is offering. [19:50] cuddylier: yes you can set raid 1 during the partitioning of the system [19:50] Jordan_U: did you mean 15 mins or 15 seconds? [19:50] hitsujiTMO Excellent [19:50] GeekDude, Make sure midori is the only browser having this problem, try another browser. [19:51] jazzme: The default is 900 seconds, which is 15 minutes. [19:51] Midion_: Are you familiar with the saying; "You've saddled a dead horse"? [19:51] should i use the 64 bit or 32 bit version if i only have 2gb ram [19:52] bill3632: It's up to you. [19:52] Jordan_U:Ok, although I don't expect to wait for so long....not sure why I don't have this problem on other PC's. [19:52] i should be able to update even if my vps only came with 13.04 correct? [19:52] jazzme: What program are you using to download on the other PCs? [19:53] Midion_: Depends on the vps === no is now known as Guest47457 [19:53] same [19:53] Jordan_U:Ubuntu...wget [19:54] Beldar: Midori is the only one that I've seen have this problem. Pages load fine, but downloads frequently just hang at 0%. The downloads work fine with wget and lynx [19:54] so pressed a and put in the lines. i pressed escape and then typed wq but how do i know if it saved. nevermind i'll try to visit it in my browser. [19:55] Midion_: it is :wq [19:56] Midion_: and it should exit vim after you type it, then you could say: cat /var/www/info.php; to see the contents [19:57] Midion_: you may want to use nano in the future instead of vim, or play with vimtutor a bit to learn the commands [19:57] What do I do at this stage of the installation? http://puu.sh/7qsZr.png [19:57] jazzme: Is the problematic PC connected via wifi? If so, what chipset? (Some drivers, like Realtek's, have issues with cutting out periodically). [19:58] cuddylier: Either retry or configure your network manually. [19:58] Jordan_U:Pc is connected via lan line [19:58] bekks: Okay, I'll try eth1 [19:59] trism: ty [19:59] afpy [19:59] bluefrog If user1 creates a file on the shared drive than user2 can't edit that file. The permissions for the group both users are in are set to read/write. Shouldn't user2 be able to edit a file? [20:00] n0x_42: are bot users in the same group and are the groups mirrored on each system(same gid) [20:00] usr13: ubuntu-server is pretty quiet. just thought I'd add, I unplugged em1 from the hub and rebooted, and wireless wont come up automatically. maybe it's something in my wireless / wpa_supllicant config [20:00] Do I just make up an IP here? http://puu.sh/7qthd.png [20:01] cuddylier: You set a valid IP there. [20:01] Yes to the first part. Does there need to be a group on the client computers as well? [20:02] n0x_42: yes. that user on the client would be needed to be in the same group if you are relying on unix permissions [20:02] howudodat: Well, it's a bit rare to use a wifi device on a server in the first place, sort of un-charted territory. [20:02] n0x_42: i assume this is an nfs share if you're using groups right? [20:03] howudodat: But I wonder why unplugging em1 would have to do with the WiFi device [20:03] n0x_42: or is this a samba share? [20:03] genii, now it's working! [20:03] Hmm ok so I can't just connect to the shared folder on the client computers. I have to replicate the user/group structure on each client machine? [20:03] It's samba [20:03] usr13:agreed, howver sadly I only have 4 ports on my router (until my hub arrives). alternatively I could try and get wireless working on my desktop, but I'm pretty sure that's a lost cause as well - at least at N speeds [20:04] Would nfs be a better choice? [20:04] genii, xset -dpms along didn't do the trick, but 'xset -dpms; xset s off' did! :) thank you [20:04] Anyone have experience with xorg breaking? [20:04] n0x_42: for samba the unix permissions shouldn't have an issue. would more likely be samba persission setup instead [20:04] usr13: in fact I would preferr the server to be wired and my desktop to work on N [20:05] howudodat: Since both devices are connected to the same network, I'm curious as to what the purpose is, (in having two connections as opposed to just one). [20:05] Ok so I am allowing access from each user in the samba share. Is there something in the conf file I need to change? [20:05] n0x_42: depends on what your network is like. if its all linux then nfs would be simpler to configure [20:05] usr13: it was temporary...I dont have enough wired ports, so I was trying to get it to work wireless, but wireless wont come up unless the wired port is plugged in [20:06] n0x_42: Is this samba server an MS Windows machine? [20:06] The directory is set to writeable and browseable. No, the shared directory is on ubuntu. The clients are Windows 8 and OS X. [20:06] anyone of you using ubuntu gnome 14.04? [20:06] howudodat: So you have an encrypted WiFi connection? [20:07] howudodat: wpa or something like that? [20:07] Anyone have experience with xorg breaking? [20:07] usr13: yes wpa2-psk [20:07] tsak_: Glad it worked for you :) [20:07] howudodat: Well, trun off the security. [20:08] cuete: you're gonna have to give more details than that. xorg likes to break in spectacular ways [20:08] howudodat: turn off wpa (set security to none) [20:08] cuete: Well, I've broken it a few times but i wouldn't say that I'm an expert at it [20:08] usr13: as a test? or permanently? [20:09] howudodat: I would suggest that the connection is being made by the wired device and not the wireless one. [20:09] howudodat: Yes permanently === RaspPiPuppyLinux is now known as SURKITZ [20:09] howudodat: Turn it off on the router. [20:10] usr13: ok, I'll make the server be wired...that's not a problem. but in order to do that, I'd sure like my desktop to connect via N. However last I tried, the BCM4360 wasn't working very well on N [20:10] usr13: I cant leave my network open [20:10] howudodat: Oh. Ok. [20:12] howudodat: It's sometimes a bit difficult to establish a WiFi connection to an encrypted network without the use of network-manager. [20:13] howudodat: I'm sure it *can* be done, but I couldn't tell you how. The easy thing to do is turn off encryption. [20:13] howudodat: Or use a wireless bridge. [20:13] Is this a normal screen during the install process? http://puu.sh/7quiP.png [20:13] howudodat: A wireless bridge would be best. [20:14] cuddylier: how long has it been like that? [20:14] cuddylier, on server maybe [20:14] hitsujiTMO Around 5 minutes. [20:15] cuddylier: prob just running something in the background. i've seen the screen stuck like that for a few mins on some odd hardware configs [20:15] only running ssh server and irssi on my netbook (xubuntu 12.04) wiht lightdm disabled and top's telling me i have 67mb free ram out of 1gb. why is that? [20:15] Okay, I'll just wait longer. [20:15] howudodat: Or, you could use wicd-cli [20:15] evilbug: are you looking at the +/- buffer cache line? [20:16] usr13: I'll look into that. for now it's wired [20:16] howudodat: you shoudl try wicd-cli [20:17] howudodat: ... for wireless === s is now known as Guest93828 [20:17] usr13:ok, will look at that too [20:17] hitsujiTMO: http://is.gd/rMXEkW [20:18] What's this? [20:18] where are you from? [20:19] Guest93828 this is the ubuntu support channel [20:19] ?????????????/ [20:20] hitsujiTMO: any advice? [20:21] evilbug: you're using 900M, BUT, most of that is used by buffers and cache. please read: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [20:21] Guest93828: This is the channel people that people ask for help with their Ubuntu operating system. If this is not what you want, you are probably in the wrong place. [20:21] evilbug: the "used" ram is actually free to be used by apps if needed [20:22] hitsujiTMO: you're the man, thanks a lot. [20:23] hitsujiTMO: It's still on that screen hmmm [20:23] hellp [20:23] hello [20:23] somebody there? [20:23] hello === d is now known as Guest3862 [20:23] PL4SSM4NN: Yes, we see what you type. [20:24] ok [20:24] Using Ubuntu? [20:24] !anyone [20:24] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [20:24] PL4SSM4NN: If you have a more specific question you need help with regarding your Ubuntu, just ask the channel generally and then see if someone assists. [20:24] hitsujiTMO: also any suggestions on how to strip xubuntu down to ubuntu server? [20:25] cuddylier: hmm, at this point i'd prob open another tty (ctrl + alt + fX) and look at the logs [20:25] evilbug: uninstall xubuntu-desktop [20:26] hitsujiTMO: Do I hold shift to get the capital 'X'? [20:26] hitsujiTMO: i was thinking of removing all the xfce stuff via http://is.gd/NBnwb0 and then installing all the other server components. [20:26] evilbug: hmm. apt-get remove xorg xserver-xorg should trigger a removal of all the X related apps [20:26] Is there any piece of software that can stop my system from heating up? xD [20:26] hitsujiTMO: I can enter text in the white bar [20:26] cuddylier: i mean: f3 or f4 when i say fX ... there's a number of ttys running on each [20:26] usr13: sure but there would be other xfce things left behind if i just run an uninstall on it. [20:27] hitsujiTMO: Okay got it, where would I find the logs? [20:28] evilbug: yes, there would be a number of cleanup tasks [20:28] cuddylier: /var/log on the target drive. [20:28] hitsujiTMO: Then view the 'syslog'? [20:28] cuddylier: i think its /var/log/installer for install related logs [20:29] usr13: and then http://is.gd/NBnwb0 comes in for full removal. [20:29] hitsujiTMO: There is only two files in the log folder, syslog and media-info [20:30] cuddylier: check the end of the syslog to start [20:31] hitsujiTMO: http://puu.sh/7qvNa.png === zz_dino82 is now known as dino82 [20:32] evilbug: Pretty long list. Better to just re-install. [20:32] cuddylier: is this in /var/log or something like: /target/var/log ? [20:32] hitsujiTMO /var/log/syslog [20:33] cuddylier: whats the output of: mount [20:33] hitsujiTMO: http://puu.sh/7qvNa.png === dv__ is now known as dv_ [20:33] I mean http://puu.sh/7qw2r.png [20:34] usr13: ok, that's what i was afraid of. [20:34] cuddylier: so it hasn't even gotten to the partitioning phase? [20:34] hitsujiTMO: Nope [20:35] cuddylier: restart the install and hope it doesn't happen again [20:35] Okay :) [20:35] cuddylier: was the ip used valid for your network? [20:35] hitsujiTMO: Yeah, I made sure of that [20:36] cuddylier: after what screen dis you get that hang? [20:36] did* [20:36] hitsujiTMO: The hostname one [20:36] sup yall [20:36] cuddylier: hmm, ok, restart the install [20:37] hei folks! [20:37] hitsujiTMO: How do I get back to the main KVM window? [20:38] cuddylier: that i'm not sure. haven't used kvm in years. i use esxi/workstation [20:38] hitsujiTMO: Got it, F1 got me back [20:38] Now I wonder how I go back in the install hmm.... [20:39] ahhh, lol yeah. ctrl + alt + f1 brings you back to tty1 [20:39] Got it [20:42] should I remove this from the pre-seed file? => "d-i cdrom-detect/cdrom_device string /dev/sdb1" [20:42] the USB stick may not necessarily always be /dev/sdb1 [20:42] so it seems wrong to have that in a preseed file [20:43] Quick question: Python 2.6.5 is retired as of now. Would Ubuntu continue to support it in 10.04 LTS? [20:44] Duy_: yes. ubuntu will continue to issue security patches for it [20:44] that's great [20:44] how could I verify that? [20:45] Sorry it's important for our product and I need to answer to legal dept [20:45] I've got a 120hz monitor plugged into my laptop with a displayport cable, but I can only get it to work on 60hz. How do I get 120hz to work? [20:46] To clarify, xrandr is showing 60hz as the only mode on 1920x1080, and I can't figure out a way to change it to 120hz [20:46] Would anyone be willing to help me dual boot Ubuntu on my computer? :) [20:47] !dualboot [20:47] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:47] I'm having issues with my Wireless adapter, and it seems like there are no supported drivers for Ubuntu. [20:47] I should of made it clear that I know the actual process of how to dual boot. [20:48] Anyone? [20:49] What's your wireless adapter?

[20:54] Sebouh: give me a minute pleaase i am looking into it [20:54] If the Ubuntu DVD works on VirtualBox, will it guarantee me a bootable distro? [20:54] someHuman, Besides the uefi wiki, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [20:54] I already have 13.10 with me. [20:54] I've got an Acer Aspire One E1-510-4487 that xorg doesn't want to display anything on. [20:55] basketball: No problem. I appreciate the help. [20:55] cuete: We're on the same boat. [20:55] Hi, I think i've encountered a bug on 12.04. My terminal windows that are open aren't viewable with alt+tab and they're not showing up on the launchpad either. I can only find them by super + w [20:55] Sebouh: what version of ubutntu [20:56] someHuman: I think it would boot, but things like WiFi capability might not be guaranteed, like my problem right now. [20:56] basketball: The latest LTS. [20:56] Sebouh: 14.04 or 12.04 [20:56] 14.04 isn't released yet [20:56] hitsujiTMO: http://puu.sh/7qy3l.png At this stage I enter e.g. 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 right? [20:56] basketball: 12.04 LTS. [20:57] ok Sebouh [20:57] someHuman : UEFI boot with 13.10 and xorg breaking? [20:57] cuete: Yes. [20:58] I haven't experienced booting into 13.10, like EVER! [20:58] someHuman: How far have you gotten? [20:58] I have only experienced 'till 13.04. [20:58] :( [20:59] cuddylier: yup [20:59] What would I do when a newer LTS is released? [21:00] What's good about LTS? [21:00] Sebouh: you'll get a notification about an upgrade for the next LTS [21:00] someHuman: long term support [21:00] Is it == to rolling release? [21:00] Sebouh, You can upgrade lts to lts or up one release at a time. [21:00] I can not connect to my remote ubuntu with remove viewer... i have tryed to change default vino port... How can i set it to defaul port again? [21:00] non lts usually are supported for 9 months [21:00] !lts | someHuman [21:00] someHuman: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [21:00] someHuman: have you installed the system, just not able to see the desktop? [21:01] someHuman: ubuntu doesnt have rolling release [21:01] Hi, I think i've encountered a bug on 12.04. My terminal windows that are open aren't viewable with alt+tab and they're not showing up on the launchpad either. I can only find them by super + w [21:01] cuete: Yes. [21:01] Hi Folks, trying to help a handicapped friend, how can I get X to read the (modified) mousekeys file? X ignores it and no errors whether it is installed or not (/usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/mousekeys). OR, if there is someway (xmodmap?) to implement them manually / script (i.e.: interpret u { action = MovePtr(x=-10,y=-10); } ). Thanks much!!! [21:02] Is there a way to see what video drivers and/or video cards are on the system? [21:02] k1l_: What am trying to say is, is it like it? [21:02] Sebouh: do you have a link to your adapter [21:02] someHuman: no [21:02] Ah ok [21:02] cuete, lspci in the terminal lists some hardware [21:02] cuete: Yep it does. [21:03] I'll first try out 13.10 on VBox. [21:03] cuete: lshw -c video and look for the line saying "configuration" [21:03] basketball: Err, it came with my computer so I really wouldn't know. :\ [21:03] Is that a legit way to see if a distro would boot after the installation? [21:03] Sebouh: what pc [21:03] basketball: Let me find it, sec. [21:04] someHuman: no [21:04] someHuman: VM just simulates hardware. on your real hardware there could be other issues [21:05] Hi, I think i've encountered a bug on 12.04. My terminal windows that are open aren't viewable with alt+tab and they're not showing up on the launchpad either. I can only find them with super + w [21:05] hiysujiTMO: Got past the last stage :) [21:06] is there another graphics handler besides xorg? [21:06] someHuman, If windows is important to you image/clone it before any install of ubuntu, per the link I sent you from the UF. [21:06] !yay | cuddylier [21:06] cuddylier: Glad you made it! :-) [21:06] basketball: It's not listed on the website anymore, but it's more or less the same as this one, minus the RAM and processor: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-ca/product/asus-asus-m51-desktop-pc-intel-core-i7-4770-2tb-hdd-12gb-ram-windows-8-1-m51ad-ca001s/10284325.aspx?path=84b0e7ee6ac11dc81fb7e10acff8d455en02 === ideopathic_ is now known as ideopathic [21:07] hitsujiTMO: http://puu.sh/7qz0t.png What now if I want RAID 1? [21:07] and the adapter is the Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC. correct [21:08] So frustrated, lol. [21:08] Sebouh: i am trying sorry i dont know a lot about reltek drivers [21:08] cuddylier: check out this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [21:09] basketball: Don't worry, man. I appreciate the effort. :) [21:09] Sebouh: ill keep looking [21:09] Sebouh: can you check in additional drivers === tbarlow is now known as Hategrin [21:09] is there another graphics handler besides xorg? [21:11] hitsujiTMO: Only issue I see is the SWAP is 32gb out of my 120gb SSD, how do I reduce it? It doesn't mention it in the guide. [21:11] Is there a channel that deals specifically with xorg? [21:12] basketball: Listed under 'Network Adapters' are: Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network), Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI), Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC, Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. [21:12] !nomodeset | cuete [21:12] cuete: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:13] Sebouh: you have Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC [21:13] select that [21:13] cuddylier: delete it and recreate it with the right size you want. then upsize the other partitions [21:13] basketball: Okay, now what? [21:14] hitsujiTMO: Does this look right to you? http://puu.sh/7qzwy.png [21:14] Beldar: I've set it to nomodeset, still nothing. [21:14] what is on the screen Sebouh [21:14] cuete, Just now? [21:14] basketball: Its properties menu on Windows 8.1 [21:15] hello === anonymous is now known as Guest5081 [21:15] Sebouh: are you on ubuntu or windows [21:15] ubuntu [21:15] cuddylier: yes, but i typicall drop down the reserves blocks to about 1-2% [21:15] basketball: I'm currently on Windows because the adapter wasn't working with Ubuntu. [21:16] hitsujiTMO: What is the reserve block purpose? [21:16] well im running Anonymous-os [21:16] Beldar, I've been doing it for the past 12 hours or so within grub. [21:16] basketball: There are two driver files on here, but I'm not sure if they'd be of any use. [21:16] Sebouh: i cant help you if you are using ubuntu please see #windows [21:16] When I try to run startx in terminal, it returns "No screens found" error. [21:16] if you are not [21:16] Guest5081: congrats, your system is not only not supported in here its even unsecure at all [21:17] basketball: I'm not using Ubuntu? [21:17] cuddylier: when you reach that percentage of free disk space left, only root can write files. its used to keep a system running with low disk space (i.e, keep logs working for as long as possible) [21:17] people why r u in a ubuntu chat if ur on another operating system [21:17] i have a question [21:17] hitsujiTMO Ah okay, so a smaller percentage means more disk space for the whole system [21:17] 14:15] basketball: I'm currently on Windows [21:18] I was under the inference that there was a community ready to help with a transition, lol. [21:18] cuete, Ah, Have you tried installing a lighter desktop like lubuntu to see if you get a desktop. [21:18] !ask Guest5081 [21:18] ertax-pts901 [21:18] hitsujiTMO: Also is my 2nd drive meant to be bound to /home? [21:18] I'm asking about a network problem and I have no other way of communicating it than through Windows... [21:18] !ask | Guest5081 [21:18] Guest5081: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:18] As it can't bind to / since the first SSD is on / [21:18] Beldar, no. Though I did get desktop when I ran the installer on nomodeset. [21:18] sorry, wrong window [21:18] Am I to assume that it works in theory at least? [21:18] cuddylier: -ish, yes. cuddylier if you want that for home then mount it as /home thats a normal strategy [21:19] Guest5081: You said you are using Anonymous OS, thats not a supported version of Ubuntu [21:19] Hi, I think i've encountered a bug on 12.04. My terminal windows that are open aren't viewable with alt+tab and they're not showing up on the launchpad either. I can only find them with super + w [21:19] hitsujiTMO Yeah, although surely both will sync with each other since I'm gonna set them as RAID? [21:19] Or does it write to that SSD then the other SSD copies the stuff over to itself? [21:19] Sebouh: do you have another device besides the computer that can connect to irc [21:19] cuete, From that desktop through nomodeset you would update and upgrade and check the additional drivers tab in software sources to start with. [21:19] i have a version of #ubuntu on a disk and i want it on the computer that im on how do i delete the version of windows and keep this operating system [21:20] basketball: No. [21:20] not a smart phone or tablet [21:20] Beldar: I enabled downloading of third party software and everything else it needed for the system... [21:20] cuddylier: raid will sync the partitions. if you are using 2 drives, then create the same scructure on both then follow the link i gave you earlier to convert them to md partitions [21:20] basketball: Unfortunately not. [21:21] cuete, 3rd party on the install process? [21:21] basketball: i have a version of #ubuntu on a disk and i want it on the computer that im on how do i delete the version of windows and keep this operating system [21:21] Guest5081: You've just said you're using Anonymous OS, thats not a version of Ubuntu [21:21] Beldar: Yeah, the button that checks for additional software sources. [21:21] checkbox [21:21] Sebouh: i am sorry but i cant help you then [21:21] Guest5081: please pastebin the results of cat /etc/issue [21:22] im talking about a different computer [21:22] Is everyone ignoring me? Asked the same question like 6 times with no response! [21:22] Alright. [21:22] Guest5081: when you boot from the live disk there will be a section on partioning [21:22] Guest5081: the answer then is: you install it [21:22] hitsujiTMO: Okay so both / like this? http://puu.sh/7qAcQ.png [21:22] Guest5081: it will ask if you want to install along side or erase it [21:22] Sebouh: I was looking @your problem It looks like your wifi card will bee supported in 14.04. Ubuntu has patched the 3.13 kernel to support your device. General support will be in kernel 3.14. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1287298 and https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Realtek_RTL8821AE_Combo_Module [21:22] Launchpad bug 1287298 in linux (Ubuntu Trusty) "missing support for rtl8821ae" [Medium,Fix released] [21:23] cuete, Ah, so as I said on the desktop through nomodeset you need to run a update and upgrade, then check the additional drivers tab. Not all drivers gets installed automatically there may be options. This is just a a guess to your problem, but the least you would check. [21:23] minimec: Thanks for the update. When will 14.04 be released? === matthewgall_ is now known as matthewgall [21:24] cuddylier: then configure it as a raid. i would create a small swap space too, even if its only 1gb [21:24] Beldar: I have access to the system right now, is there a way to manually download the drivers? [21:24] cuete, No internet access? [21:24] cat /etc/issue [21:24] Beldar, I have internet access [21:24] ubuntu 11.10 \n \c [21:24] Sebouh: April 17th https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule [21:25] Sebouh: Do you have a 64bit ubuntu installation? [21:25] cuete, Why the manual download? [21:25] Guest5081: 11.10 is End of Life an no longer supported [21:25] ubuntu 11.10 \n \l [21:25] beldar: I'm not able to access the desktop/gui [21:25] minimec: Yes, I do. I guess I'll have to wait till April or dig around for another adapter. [21:25] cuete, You can through nomodeset right? [21:25] Guest5081: download the 12.04 iso. its supported until 2017 [21:26] Beldar: Nomodeset just brings me to command line [21:26] Can i make the operating system on the live disk my main operating system with terminal [21:26] no nomodeset just shows a black screen [21:26] cuete, What does this mean than "Beldar, no. Though I did get desktop when I ran the installer on nomodeset."? [21:26] Guest5081: 12.04 has an alternative installer that can run from cli [21:26] hitsujiTMO Do I need to the turn the bootable flag on for the SWAP partition? Yeah? [21:27] cuddylier: bootable flag isn't actually used [21:27] cuete, Ah I see on the installer not the install, my mistake. [21:27] Beldar: When I was installing the system, I couldn't access the desktop. [21:27] so i can partition this to make it my only operating system on my HDD [21:27] Beldar: yeah [21:27] hitsujiTMO Oh, I set the 1gb parition to 'logical' but it isn't going to SWAP hmm [21:27] Guest5081: yes. if you want to install from cli use the 12.04 alternative iso [21:27] Belder: When Installing the system, in grub, I hat to set nomodeset just to see the installer. [21:28] if that makes sense [21:28] hitsujiTMO what if i wann ado it with this 11.10 [21:28] Guest5081: We are not going to help you with anything other than Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Ubuntu 13.10. [21:28] Hello i have installed ubuntu in my computer and it is very good but it's common to have a bug that the screen make a strange forms? [21:28] ? [21:28] cuddylier: you can have it as primary if you wish. you format it as "swap space", but that would be after creating the raid mds [21:28] Sebouh: Well you could be dirty and 'wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc6-trusty/linux-image-3.14.0-031400rc6-generic_3.14.0-031400rc6.201403100035_amd64.deb' and then 'sudo dpkg -i http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc6-trusty/linux-image-3.14.0-031400rc6-generic_3.14.0-031400rc6.201403100035_amd64.deb'. That would install the latest 3.14 kernel into you existing installation. this one would be the newest 3.1 [21:29] cuete, Since you have a terminal find the graphic hardware info with lspci, You can install pastebinit and have this go to a pastebin for the channel to read, in your inquiries. [21:29] WTF its all ubuntu just a older version [21:29] !pastebinit | cuete [21:29] cuete: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:29] Guest5081: you can't. 11.10 is no longer supported so you can't get the alternative iso [21:29] !eol | Guest5081 [21:29] Guest5081: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

Please advise [21:30] w 15 [21:30] does anyone use ubuntu to hack [21:30] Guest5081: hacking is not supported here [21:30] pspldb201 [21:30] darn! sorry [21:31] I installed ubuntu and the lan doesn't work. Where can some guidelines [21:31] hitsujiTMO: What do I set the mount point as for the SWAP parition? [21:31] minimec: Not sure I understand these commands, but I'll give them a try. What would it do? :s [21:32] cuddylier: swap has no mount point, just set filesystem type to swap, and it will work [21:32] cuddylier: just set the fiesystem to swap space. it doesn't have a mount point [21:32] hitsujiTMO: Just found it thanks [21:33] Sebouh: im sorry but i cant help you unless you are in ubuntu os [21:34] I wasn't asking for your assistance, mate. :s [21:34] Sebouh: yes you were [21:34] Sebouh: the wget command would download the latest 3.14 kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ . The 'sudo dpkg -i' command would install that kernel. After a reboot, you would run that 'bleeding edge' kernel. If the boot hangs, you would have to load the old kernel in 'Advanced options for Ubuntu' @ the boot screen. [21:36] hitsujiTMO: When setting up the RAID 1 it's asking for two paritions but that leaves out the RAID parition, should I just ignore it? [21:36] minimec: How would I run the 'bleeding edge' kernel after reboot? It might be worth noting that I haven't actually installed Ubuntu since it recommended I be connected to WiFi when installing. [21:36] Sebouh: In that case, I would wait another month... ;) [21:37] yo, I have a problem that I am finding impossible to look up. It isn't particularly with ubuntu, is there perhaps an IRC channel for WINE? [21:37] minimec: Another month it is. Thanks for the help. :D [21:38] Sebouh: was minimec able to help you [21:38] basketball: Yes. [21:39] Sebouh: i am sorry i dont know alot about drivers [21:39] cuddylier: yes, a raid 1 would need a minimum of 2 partitions. so you should have /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 for / and if you're raiding the swap /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 for that aswell [21:39] basketball: It's okay, mate, you tried and I'm thankful for it. :) [21:40] Take care everyone! [21:40] hitsujiTMO Yeah just got it, my installation didn't freeze at any point however, it's still fine? [21:41] hitsujiTMO It stopped me after I tried to continue saying the mountpoints where the same, / [21:42] cuddylier: the mount points should be fixed as they should be reffering to mds. is the partition menu showing you the raid devices? [21:42] so... irc channel for wine? [21:42] hitsujiTMO Ah, it didn't actually create the RAID, it's asking me to delete two paritions here but how can I select two when the cursor goes between 1? http://puu.sh/7qBPz.jpg [21:42] I mean select two paritions rather than delete [21:43] cuddylier: yeah select /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 for your / raid === mehdi__ is now known as mehdi [21:43] hitsujiTMO How though? When I use my arrow keys it just goes between 1 option only [21:44] hitsujuTMO: Got it, I just didn't read the part about space being the selector [21:44] hey all. how can I remove packages from /boot when the partition is full? I've tried dpkg purge and dpkg autoremove and in both cases they error out [21:44] .-. [21:45] cuddylier: cool [21:45] hitsujiTMO It said no root file system was detected... hmm [21:46] hitsujiTMO: http://puu.sh/7qC5p.png [21:46] cuddylier: you need to assign that raid device then as / and formatted to ext4 [21:47] hitsujiTMO When I select the RAID 1 partition all I see is: http://puu.sh/7qCaY.png [21:47] cuddylier: change use as: to use as: ext4 or / or whatever [21:49] hmm just setup my server with vestacp.... so far I like it. [21:50] hitsujiTMO: On to the next stage now, thank you so much so far. [21:50] hey all. how can I remove packages from /boot when the partition is full? I've tried dpkg purge and dpkg autoremove and in both cases they error out [21:52] umib0zu: can you pastebin the output of: df -h [21:53] umib0zu: It would be 'sudo apt-get autoremove' That might remove some old kernels. [21:53] its on a separate computer but the /boot partition is at 98% [21:53] cuddylier: should be much easier from here on in [21:53] and I've tried autoremove and it breaks as well [21:53] Yeah, I think I should be fine now and at least I now know exactly how to do another install [21:53] umib0zu: manually rm an old kernel to free up some space [21:54] umib0zu: just make sure its not one you will be using [21:54] I've gone into /boot and actually rm'ed a few of the files [21:54] umib0zu, several methods, http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu [21:54] umib0zu: and are you still getting an issue after removing a few of them? [21:54] yeah [21:54] is there an updating command? [21:54] umib0zu: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get -f install [21:57] hitsujiTMO http://pastebin.com/4KP22ja0 [21:59] umib0zu_: that seems to suggest another drive is also out of space. can you pastebin the output of: df -h && df -i === Gentlfly is now known as NerdQuest [21:59] s/drive/partition [22:00] umib0zu_, Is this raring 13.04? [22:01] does anyone in here know if privoxy has an IRC channel? [22:02] sudormrf: you can try /msg alis *privoxy* list [22:02] !alis [22:02] alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode.

[22:19] raj: yes [22:20] raj: bitcoin mining with radeon cards for instance [22:20] raj: and some rendering servers [22:20] raj: graphics processing sometimes pulls in X libs, for which the easiest thing to do is pull down an X server package [22:20] hey guys, so I setup privoxy and it is working well, but there is one drawback. Youtube videos don't work. Is there a way for me to whitelist a site with privoxy? I looked in /etc/privoxy/ but didn't see something obvious.

The server has a Gnome but since I have a server on the basement as media server, the server boot to command line. Is there a way to have openvpn start from the terminal? [22:23] magicflakes: it looks as if you installed it from a ppa and then removed the ppa [22:23] does gtk library require X?

I'll give an update. [22:29] what's the equivalent of "/etc/init.d/networking restart" in Ubuntu 13.10? [22:29] if I type that, I get some nonsense about using "service" in an upstart system [22:29] sudo restart networking [22:29] but if I type "sudo service restart networking" ubuntu crashes hard [22:30] gordonjcp: sudo service networking restart [22:30] minimec: kernel panics [22:30] gordonjcp: yes, known bug [22:30] so, it's knackered then? [22:30] gordonjcp: been there since release. i'm surprised they haven't fixed it [22:30] hitsujiTMO: 13.10 is a disaster [22:31] it's alpha quality at best [22:31] the clear 'form & search history' option on firefox 27 stopped working a few days ago. Is this a known issue? [22:31] gordonjcp: most of the issues in 13.10 appear to be ingored yet fixed in 14.04 [22:31] hitsujiTMO: hm [22:31] is there a trick to getting iwconfig to apply rate settings? `sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M` yields no error, but doesn't change the connected speed. [22:31] hitsujiTMO: 13.10 has destroyed my confidence in Ubuntu [22:31] I'm excited for 14.04 since I haven't upgraded in a long time [22:31] I don't trust "in-between" releases [22:32] holy crap 14.04 already [22:32] where would i report a problem with my mouse? runnin 14.04 [22:32] gordonjcp: hmm, yeah, i think all focus is on the lts, especially in the 6 months before release. 13.10 is getting little attention [22:32] wolfy1339_: report a bug on launchpad [22:32] hahaha, now what [22:33] but what package? [22:33] "sudo service networking restart" appears to have destroyed X completely [22:33] on rebooting, it's in low graphics mode [22:33] Unity doesn't show up [22:33] none of the text consoles show up [22:33] once again, 13.10 is fucking *comically* broken [22:34] gordonjcp: please watch the language [22:34] I give up [22:34] IdleOne: make me [22:34] wolfy1339_: most likely xorg related. [22:34] IdleOne: I've spent *hours* trying to work around the crippling bugs in this [22:34] IdleOne: I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the constant decline in quality of Ubuntu releases [22:35] IdleOne: the last thing I want to hear is Pollyanna-ish comments like that [22:35] seriously? not like this is your first time in an ubuntu channel. I know your frustrated but that doesn't mean you get to ignore the guidelines when you feel like it. [22:35] IdleOne: clear? [22:35] oh, fuck this [22:35] And that's that... [22:36] sad to see someone spend so much time trying to get something to work they paid *so much money* for... [22:38] I guess I'd expect iwconfig to return an exit code other than 0 if the iwconfig rate command didnt work, say for this particular driver or card [22:38] <[RO]Daniel> :)) [22:38] but instead I get an error code of 0 and the rate doesn't change. [22:39] wolfy1339_: Is that a USB mouse? could you give us additional information? Brand? [22:40] though, the fact that `iwlist wlan0 rate` yeilds 'unknown bit-rate information' instead of a list (before telling me the currently connected rate) leads me to believe I can't change the rate with the iwconfig command [22:42] hola [22:48] elbixoAPODO: hola [22:53] Hello basketball elbixoAPODO === mishravikas is now known as vm95 [22:57] hy [22:57] Can I get ping to print something whenever a packet is dropped?
