| OerHeks | dura-zell, did you previously install intel-microcode or AMD64-microcode package ? | 00:04 |
| dura-zell | minimec: tell me how to get them. the machine hangs and i can't get a terminal | 00:04 |

| OerHeks | the part 'microcode' triggerd me | 00:05 |
| dura-zell | do i have to install this manually or does some part of ubuntu / update manager install it automatically? | 00:06 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Well first, I would indeed unplug all peripheral devices... | 00:06 |

| dura-zell | only monitor and kyboard are plugged in right now | 00:07 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Ok. And in this configuration you cannot boot at all? That's odd. Because with a default ubuntu installation you do not have a ssh server installed, so we cannot try to login to the machine with a different computer. | 00:09 |
| basketball | the terminal opens briefly with no prompt, then immediately closes again | 00:10 |
| dura-zell | i have ssh server installed. this is (normally) a headless box wich resides in a rack in the basement and is used for recording tv and similar things | 00:10 |
| dura-zell | but: the machine doesn't boot to a point where it starts any services (like ssh) | 00:10 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Ok. So we could try to connect to that machine, hoping that the network is up.... Did you try that? | 00:11 |
| dura-zell | it isn't up. the machine doesn't respond to ping and ssh user@ip times out | 00:11 |

| dura-zell | i know. thats the reason i'm here. I tried got get this running whe whole day :-( | 00:15 |

| emacer | does anyone know how to fix a problem with linking to boost::regex when using CMake on ubuntu 13.10? | 00:25 |
| centrx | "a problem" | 00:26 |
| emacer | centrx, as in, Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. | 00:27 |
| centrx | emacer, Do you have the -dev package(s) installed for headers/development files? | 00:27 |
| emacer | until I added boost::regex into my code, linking to the rest of boost worked fine | 00:27 |
| centrx | emacer, boost::regex is probably in a separate package | 00:28 |
| emacer | I can use boost::algorithm and boost::string just fine | 00:28 |
| emacer | centrx, Correct, but CMake autoconfigures that for you. | 00:28 |
| emacer | I didn't have to say anything about boost whatsoever for it to automatically find and link the correct libraries for the other parts of boost that I'm using. | 00:29 |
| centrx | emacer, Not if they're not installed. | 00:29 |
| roasted | hello friends | 00:29 |
| emacer | centrx, they're installed | 00:29 |
| emacer | google seems to indicate that it may be a bug in 13.10, but the information is sparse | 00:30 |
| roasted | Question - I'm running 13.10. Every now and then my notifications for things like Rhythmbox and Empathy simply stop working. Volume and wireless indicators work fine, but everything else kind of stops. At random just now I noticed they stopped working during a conversation on Empathy. Has anybody seen anything like this? I tried reinstalling notify-osd but it made no change. | 00:30 |

| === adron is now known as Adran | ||
| roasted | Beldar: it's insanely frustrating. Happens out of no where without warning, no errors. | 00:36 |
| roasted | makes me want to put 14.04 and see how things go, but I'm somewhat hesitant to given the fact this is a work laptop. | 00:37 |
| Beldar | roasted, Have you modify the desktop...IE themes...etc? | 00:38 |
| Beldar | or compiz mods | 00:38 |
| dura-zell | here are some logfiles: Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/7070917/ | 00:43 |

| dura-zell | i hope this helps as this is driving me nuts... | 00:43 |
| roasted | Beldar: sorry - didn't realize you highlighted me because (LOL) no notifications. Last night you and I talked and suspected that Unity Tweak Tool might be acting up since I DID tweak my desktop with Unity Tweak Tool. Last night after our conversation concluded, on a 100% fresh stock instance of Unity, the lack of notifications came up yet again. | 00:44 |
| roasted | Beldar: likewise, if this was an issue with Unity Tweak Tool, you'd suspect far more people than, well, just me would be having issues. It's continually listed on the top 10 things to do after installing Ubuntu articles all over the web. | 00:44 |
| roasted | Beldar: but as mentioned, it happened again without unity tweak tool at all, so... it kind of wipes that slate clear. | 00:45 |
| souusek | hola | 00:45 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Ok. So in the kern.log you see that there is a problem with the cx88 driver. That's the wintv device. | 00:46 |

| dura-zell | its a pci card. i have three of them installed | 00:49 |
| Beldar | roasted, That was my curiosity, dose it work ever, lol, sounds like a bug although I can't find it. | 00:49 |
| roasted | Beldar: I could not find *ANY* discussion of this anywhere else. | 00:50 |
| roasted | Beldar: I searched bug reports, forums, you name it. Best I found was articles of people asking how to alter the notifications, but not complaining that they simply stop working as I'm experiencing. | 00:51 |
| Beldar | THeNine, I found this make sure you leave a trail when editing. http://askubuntu.com/questions/103246/how-to-change-the-color-of-the-scroll-bar | 00:52 |

| Beldar | roasted, I wonder if a simpler desktop like lubuntu would at least take care of it now. | 00:53 |
| minimec | dura-zell: That could explain the resource conflict we get... I would maybe start with one card only, then add a 2nd one. Also there are some configuration options for the cx88 driver you can use to configure the device. You put them in /etc/modprobe.d/cx88.conf | 00:53 |
| roasted | Beldar: yeah I'm not doing that. :< | 00:54 |
| roasted | Beldar: I'd do 14.04 beta before I touched Lubuntu. | 00:54 |
| centrx | roasted, What's wrong with lubuntu? | 00:54 |
| dura-zell | minimec: regarding ressource conflict: this setup worked fine for a long time. how comes having a conflict suddenly? - i'll have a look into the options... | 00:55 |
| minimec | dura-zell: I don't know different kernel with different cx88 driver? | 00:56 |
| roasted | centrx: I just don't care for Lubuntu. | 00:56 |

| Ntemis | hello | 00:58 |

| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack switch to the saucy enablement stack. it includes the kernel + xorg from saucy (but you still run precise) | 01:10 |

| Psil0Cybin | or would it entail more work? | 01:11 |

| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: it is also asking to remove the following packages, should that be fine? I will paste bin them | 01:14 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: that warning basically means if you're running on arm or cloud based system then there's no need to up the enablement stack | 01:14 |

| tomreyn | Ntemis: welcome. if your system is currently using a lot of third party repositories, or has been doing so in the past, i'd suggest installing apt-show-versions and running "apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate". this will list all the packages which aren't part of your currently configured apt sources, or are not up to date. | 01:20 |

| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: oh wow I will try the rebuilding from synapse because I am already doing that, even if it works I will attept to remove and see what works better. | 01:31 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Nice! What did the trick? | 01:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: sorry, don't have enough time to talk someone thru a complete install. are you stuck on a particular issue? | 01:32 |
| dura-zell | blacklisting cx88_alsa, cx2388x and cx23885 (not sure if the latter two are redundant) | 01:32 |
| Droxduck | hitsujiTMO I'm running a vps with ubuntu installed i'll like to get fluxbox working | 01:33 |
| dura-zell | I'll have to check if the cards are usable though but it boots | 01:33 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Well... Good luck. | 01:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: why do you want a desktop environment on a server? | 01:33 |
| Droxduck | well something in between. Desktop is too slow for remote connections | 01:34 |

| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: why not just ssh? | 01:34 |
| Droxduck | I'm use to windows | 01:34 |
| Droxduck | Ihave been using ssh | 01:35 |
| staticwarp | usr13: thanks, using legacy boot worked and i was able to boot from the usb drive. :) now lets hope i can get everything installed and dual booting correctly XD | 01:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: having a de wouldn't help with managing a server. everything still needs to be done via terminal | 01:35 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: honestly, you'll be much better off learning bash and figuring your way around with just ssh | 01:36 |
| dura-zell | aparently I'm able to scan for channels. very very nice!!! | 01:36 |
| Droxduck | hitsujiTMO what about fluxbox? | 01:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | staticwarp: what filesystem is the usb? | 01:36 |
| dura-zell | a last question: how can I prevent anything from modifying my blacklist.conf (i e during an upgrade) | 01:36 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: fluxbox is just a window manager. you would still just be firing up the terminal from it to do everything. it would in fact just be adding 1 more layer of complexity to your setup that you wouldn't actually need | 01:37 |
| john_rambo | I am running 12.04 ........ gnutls-cli (GnuTLS) 2.12.14 ........Is this the patched version ? Confused after reading this http://gnutls.org/security.html | 01:37 |
| Droxduck | hitsujiTMO: Ok bad idea | 01:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: so far so good! wow! | 01:38 |
| mvr_ | hitsujiTMO: I'm afraid that didn't fix it | 01:38 |
| minimec | dura-zell: Just keep a copy of the file... or at least of the modifications you did. You can also create your own blacklist-cx88.conf file in the same directory. | 01:38 |
| hitsujiTMO | john_rambo: patched: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2127-1/ | 01:38 |
| dura-zell | my point is: when i mount the machine in it's rack and something goes wrong i have to remove it from there to gett access to the usb ports (or to remove the cards) | 01:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: can you teach me how you found out what to do? How did you come to this conclusion? did you google my issue? Or you diagnosed it your self through reading the logs? Iwant to understand so I can learn more from you hitsujiTMO :D you are a god send, | 01:39 |
| dura-zell | so no way to make it very very permanent? | 01:39 |
| Droxduck | hitsujiTMO: Is there a good place to chat for a noob | 01:39 |
| mvr_ | hitsujiTMO: is it possible the hard-drive is fine but some other bit of hardware is the problem? | 01:39 |
| hitsujiTMO | mvr_: then unfortunately looks like either a failed hdd or broken sata port/ chipset. you'd prob want to RMA | 01:39 |
| dura-zell | what do you mean "my own blacklist-cx88.conf" ? | 01:39 |
| staticwarp | hitsujiTMO: it is formatted to fat32. | 01:40 |
| john_rambo | hitsujiTMO, Thanks | 01:40 |
| mvr_ | hitsujiTMO: thankyou for your help | 01:40 |
| hitsujiTMO | mvr_: if the chipset is failing (then the hdd may be intact) ... but thats usually an unlikely scenario. very rarely is it the chipset that fails | 01:41 |
| minimec | dura-zell: I see. Put all the changes in a blacklist-cx88.conf file and be sure that the file is in /etc/modprobe.d if you do a new installation or so. | 01:41 |
| kamil_ | someone help me | 01:41 |
| Droxduck | hitsujiTMO: What sort of help cna you give? | 01:41 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: chat ... maybe #ubuntu-offtopic or maybe ##linux (not sure what goes on in ##linux tho) | 01:42 |
| melt7777 | anyone solved the "can't boot" startpar bridge for notification of upstart job issue??? | 01:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: after the changes that you recommended, do I need to remove anything else in order to save hd space? Or did the command I ran to install all the files remove the unnecessary ones | 01:42 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: it removed the other stack so all should be fine | 01:42 |
| dura-zell | i did so | 01:43 |
| dura-zell | thank you very much for helping. looks like i can bring the computer back into its rack now | 01:43 |
| dura-zell | again: thank you | 01:43 |
| minimec | dura-zell: That's what we are here for. | 01:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | Droxduck: well, if you really do want to install fluxbox then maybe have a read of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems . but i'd recommend learning to work from the terminal: starting maybe with bash: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 01:44 |
| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: thanks again. You are very helpful. | 01:44 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: np | 01:44 |

| kamil_ | hey browser | 02:42 |
| doublethink | I just upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 and now I just get a black screen when I try booting. Any thoughts how I can fix it? | 02:43 |
| Bashing-om | JackyWang: Hello, I at the least am here. mentally, not too sure at the present moment. | 02:44 |
| Kekai | I run ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a lenovo Netbook S10 Ideapad and its been extremly slow | 02:45 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: Check for a proprietary graphics driver ? Got broke in the upgrade ? | 02:45 |
| Treaver | Hey guys, can I ask a favor that's off topic? | 02:45 |
| Kekai | Normally i can run chrome, Spotify, IRC, and skype with ease, but lately its been slow | 02:46 |
| Kekai | Sometimes I will freeze | 02:46 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: I do have an AMD driver installed. I'll remove it and see if it helps. | 02:46 |
| Treaver | My friend that I am so in love with is going through things that no young gal should ever go through. Could everyone share this link everywhere you can ; http://www.gofundme.com/Victoria-Andrews We're trying to pay the medical bills and whenever we have done it. I'm gonna ask her to marry me. Please share the link to everyone! | 02:47 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: OK, standing by. | 02:47 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: When I try removing the drivers from the root prompt in recovery mode, it just tells me the FS is read-only. | 02:48 |
| Beldar | Kekai, Not the fastest, how much memory? | 02:48 |
| Kekai | Beldar I use 1GB of ram | 02:48 |
| Kekai | Thats what my PC is saying I have | 02:48 |
| Kekai | but the factory says 512mb | 02:48 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: When you normally boot can you get to the GUI login -> then key combo ctl+alt+F1 to get a console ? | 02:49 |
| Beldar | Kekai, I would use a lighter desktop than unity (1 gig is a minimum) like lubuntu | 02:49 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: I can't get any kind of GUI. As soon as I make a selection in GRUB the screen goes black. Sometimes there's a white underscore in the corner. | 02:50 |
| Kekai | Beldar: Its never been this slow before its always been fast | 02:50 |
| Kekai | Beldar: I did clean it out of the apps I never used and have preload installed | 02:51 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: From the recovery consle -> mount -o remount rw / <- will remount the roor partition as read/write . | 02:52 |
| Pinkamena_D | Anyone knows of a program which can convert many small music files and keep the directory structure intact? | 02:52 |

| diego_1 | soundconverter | 02:54 |
| Kekai | Beldar: When installed ubuntu 12.04 it did act funny | 02:54 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: Thanks, giving it a try. | 02:54 |
| Kekai | Like slow and didnt want to install on the first try | 02:55 |
| Kekai | Beldar: Could chrome be the problem | 02:56 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: Removed the drivers, same issue. It briefly shows a login prompt, then just shows _ and doesn't respond to input | 02:56 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: Before you do something drastic, try the boot parameter "nomodeset" and see if that gets you to the desktop. | 02:57 |
| Kekai | its heading over 80% of the resources | 02:57 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: Okay, trying it. | 02:57 |
| roasted | Is anybody having issues with their notifications not working? Mine keep working and stop working all over again throughout use with no error or anything. I can't seem to find out what is actually causing it, and what's even more difficult is trying to find someone else who is seeing the same or similar issue. | 02:58 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: I got a bit further, now it shows the Ubuntu logo and freezes. | 03:01 |
| === FoxyRK9 is now known as Kekai | ||
| Kekai | so yeah | 03:04 |
| Kekai | Googl chrome maybe an issue but not the problem | 03:04 |
| Kekai | Its useing 70-80 percent of my CPU | 03:05 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: I think I'm just going to do a full backup and reinstall. It worked fine until I upgraded. | 03:05 |
| intok | 13.10 on a Kabini using the Oibaf PPA Gallium3D OSS driver stuff. How do I fix the artifacting and get UVD and the VCE working? | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: Humm.. No other off the top of my head // what you might do is from the recovery console, edit /etc/default/grub -replace quiet splash with text, and see if you can read the boot messages. | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: Nothing wrong with a clean install .. I prefer it .. one then starts off with a clean slat. but we can still try and see what we can find that is at fault in the upgrade. (maybe) | 03:09 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: Sure, thanks, I'll try that before reinstalling. | 03:10 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: key combo ctl+o to pause the boot messages, ctl+s to continue (on my box) .. but gotta be fast !. | 03:11 |
| Kekai | How would I remove the ubuntu desktop | 03:11 |
| Kekai | without a clean install | 03:11 |
| Kekai | I have the Lubuntu desktop installed | 03:12 |
| anon7869 | anyone here use eos?? | 03:13 |
| usr13 | Kekai: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 03:14 |
| rww | anon7869: eos = elementary os? | 03:14 |
| anon7869 | yes | 03:14 |
| anon7869 | adn how to you qoute my name?? | 03:14 |
| rww | anon7869: support/discussion for that goes in #elementary. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives | 03:14 |
| rww | anon7869: i just typed it at the start of my message | 03:14 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: Still just a black screen, no text or anything. I'm just going to do the reinstall, thanks though :) | 03:14 |
| anon7869 | oww lol | 03:14 |
| anon7869 | rww welp.. its base on ubuntu... and the eos chan is empty :/ | 03:15 |
| rww | anon7869: we don't do "based on ubuntu" here, just Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. | 03:15 |
| Bashing-om | doublethink: That might be the fastest and best thing - with nothing to go on it is tough to find a fix. But honestly, should be able to boot to a text login unless there is a serious file issue. | 03:16 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: I'm not sure. I modified the file and now it just goes completely black on boot, no _ or anything else. | 03:17 |
| doublethink | Bashing-om: It's not a huge hassle to reinstall so I think that's easiest! | 03:17 |

| shoelessone | usr13, I'm not sure that'll work. I'll give it a shot. but the problem is I've swapped the key bindings in the standard system setting (the easymode setting), as well as dconf editor, but neither change takes affect. | 03:24 |
| shoelessone | To be more clear, the issue is that I can swap the keys | 03:24 |
| shoelessone | alt can swap with ctrl | 03:24 |
| shoelessone | I've done that with an Xmodmap | 03:25 |

| someHuman | rgenito: IKR! | 03:41 |
| e-vad | an apt-get upgrade -y causes the console to start spewing strange charachters | 03:41 |
| e-vad | 'reset' gets me back to normal, but why would it go there in the first place? | 03:41 |
| Beldar | e-vad, -y upgrade | 03:42 |
| e-vad | the position of the y does it? | 03:43 |
| === someHuman is now known as Guest37585 | ||
| === someHuman_ is now known as someHuman | ||
| Beldar | e-vad, -y is a yes on the upgrade, be careful it will run even if a partial upgrade. | 03:43 |
| rgenito | someHuman: @.@ | 03:43 |
| someHuman | rgenito: Can you help me though? | 03:44 |
| e-vad | Beldar: i know | 03:44 |
| rgenito | sure wusup | 03:44 |
| e-vad | Beldar: my issue is the console starts spweing wingdings about midway through like it caught some escape sequence or so | 03:44 |
| e-vad | 'reset' fixes it and the system is happy | 03:44 |
| Beldar | e-vad, generally the wingdings might be crucial errors, and reset what? | 03:46 |
| e-vad | the command 'reset' | 03:46 |
| e-vad | like this: http://elfstone.nl/2009/06/29/weird-characters-in-bash/ | 03:46 |
| e-vad | tho, instead of pressing all kinds of keys, 'reset' does it | 03:46 |
| e-vad | reset - initialize a terminal or query terminfo database | 03:47 |
| Beldar | Heh, if I could find an interest I would, sorry | 03:48 |
| e-vad | seems it's a grub update | 03:50 |

| sghsmorgan | trying to access via Samba, #samba sent me here | 04:22 |
| sghsmorgan | for file permission stuff | 04:23 |
| crispin | sghsmorgan: chmod and chown are the commands | 04:23 |
| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi | ||
| crispin | sghsmorgan: man chmod | 04:23 |
| sghsmorgan | crispin: I ran chown -R /media/ | 04:24 |
| sghsmorgan | oops | 04:24 |
| crispin | you need to specify who will own it | 04:24 |
| crispin | or what group | 04:25 |
| crispin | chgrp | 04:25 |
| sghsmorgan | crispin: I mean chown -R nobody.nogroup /media/ | 04:25 |
| sghsmorgan | and that gave me access to /media/user/ | 04:25 |
| crispin | ok, so now nobody owns it | 04:25 |
| sghsmorgan | but not /media/user/harddrive/ | 04:25 |
| crispin | is that a mount? | 04:25 |
| crispin | run 'mount' | 04:25 |
| sghsmorgan | yeah it's mounted | 04:25 |
| crispin | -R wont travese mounted filesystems | 04:26 |
| crispin | for safety | 04:26 |
| crispin | probably | 04:26 |
| sghsmorgan | oh | 04:26 |
| crispin | do you really want to recursively chown it? | 04:26 |
| crispin | read the man pages | 04:26 |
| crispin | have a look for 'stick directory' bit | 04:26 |
| crispin | and then you can make a group. like 'samba' | 04:27 |
| crispin | then put the people to access it in that group | 04:27 |
| crispin | sorry | 04:27 |
| crispin | 'sticky directory' | 04:27 |
| sghsmorgan | crispin: don't see any "sticky directory" in man chmod or man chown...but what you're saying is, I should make a group and add my windows users to it, instead of removing the group and owners | 04:30 |
| sghsmorgan | right? | 04:30 |
| crispin | sghsmorgan: yes. and the directory can be chgrp'ed to that group | 04:31 |
| crispin | and then the group persmissions set for that group | 04:31 |
| crispin | eg. chmod g+rw blah | 04:31 |
| crispin | but if you cant change the group | 04:31 |
| crispin | because they need to stay 'admin' or something | 04:31 |
| crispin | you can set the containing directories sticky bit | 04:31 |
| crispin | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit | 04:32 |
| crispin | sghsmorgan: of course you might not need sticky bit | 04:35 |
| crispin | sghsmorgan: actually IO could be wrong on the sticky bit | 04:37 |
| crispin | :P | 04:37 |
| crispin | its been a while | 04:37 |
| sghsmorgan | crispin: I think the wiki said something about linux ignores sticky bit | 04:37 |
| roasted | Beldar: hey are you interested in me babbling at you a minute about my notification thinger. | 04:37 |
| sghsmorgan | crispin: how do I add windows user to my linux group? | 04:38 |
| Beldar | roasted, babble away. | 04:39 |
| === root is now known as Guest17393 | ||
| roasted | Beldar: checked MD5s. Matched. Did some reading about USB flash drives, and indeed DD, mkfs, things like that are known to degrade them. I frequently distro hop on another system I have, and have used this particular flash drive each time I do a Linux install since I started my current job 2 years ago. On a hunch, DD'd the ISO to a brand new flash drive. Checked disk for errors, 1 error. DD'd again and checked twice, no errors. | 04:40 |
| roasted | Installed, so far so good. It's early yet, but as of now.. they work. | 04:40 |
| roasted | Beldar: I couldn't check the integrity of the DD of my other flash drive that I've had for a while because I use MultiSystem on it that chainloads ISOs. If I select Ubuntu it goes STRAIGHT to Ubuntu, not the boot menu with options like check for errors, etc. | 04:41 |
| roasted | Beldar: kinda wanted to babble it here vs PM in case any users reading this get the protip that USB drives aren't fail-proof. They can have issues "burning" just as LiveCDs do. Like I said, still early yet, but so far.. notifications work fine. | 04:42 |
| roasted | Beldar: part of me wants to believe that thanks to the apt system I should be able to fix something like this, even if it was from a broken installer image/drive (even though I'm not positive it was broken or corrupt), but I suppose things don't work like that. | 04:42 |
| roasted | Beldar: that is all. thanks for the ears. :) | 04:43 |
| roasted | er, eyes. | 04:43 |
| Beldar | roasted, Good job finding an answer. | 04:43 |
| crispin | anyone know why my ldconfig command is not updating ld's search path? | 04:44 |
| roasted | Beldar: not positive yet. Part of that is running on a blind educated guess. BUT the drive I used I used heavily for 2 years, so maybe it is degraded by now. Hard to say. But nice to know I'm on a full install with 0 errors now. So from here on out if it comes up again, different story. If it never shows its face again, then perhaps that's what it was. | 04:45 |
| usr13 | crispin: sudo? | 04:52 |

| someHuman | I think I'd rather update from a distro | 06:08 |
| cfhowlett | tozen, nope. LTS only and no beta for me | 06:08 |

| kdworak | hello | 06:12 |
| tozen | kdworak: hi. so? | 06:12 |
| kdworak | need help writing a bash script | 06:12 |
| kdworak | I need to sort the processes and then add up the cpu decimal values and display the highest cumulative cpu load by proccess | 06:14 |
| kdworak | for example add up all the httpd processes together and then if thats the the highest cumulative total then print the total and httpd as the process | 06:14 |
| jhf_ | hi all | 06:15 |
| somsip | kdworak: and what have you done so far? | 06:15 |
| kdworak | well so far I have a script that gives me only the 3 top offending processes | 06:16 |
| kdworak | but not a cumulative total | 06:16 |
| kdworak | hold on a sec ill print what i ahve | 06:16 |
| somsip | kdworak: #bash would be a better place for this. Though you can get part of the way there using ps and it's sort options | 06:17 |
| shindeg | exit | 06:18 |
| kdworak | somsip: this is what i have currently: ps -eo pcpu,pid|grep -v 0.0|sort -n|tail -3 | 06:19 |
| mapps | hi guys what do i need to look up to learn how to make something start at startup ? like write a simple bash script and make it run on boot | 06:19 |
| thebigredgeek | Hey | 06:19 |
| thebigredgeek | How can I easily deploy a NodeJS app to a private ubuntu box? | 06:19 |
| kdworak | cron | 06:19 |
| shindeg | Hey guys | 06:19 |
| kdworak | mapps: cronjobs | 06:19 |
| shindeg | I am new to irc | 06:19 |
| thebigredgeek | Anyone? | 06:20 |
| mapps | hey kdworak ah ok i know about cron..i keep hearing people talk about upsart | 06:20 |
| mapps | thebigredgeek, easy | 06:20 |
| thebigredgeek | I am hoping there is an easy to use tool | 06:20 |
| thebigredgeek | Mapps, how? | 06:20 |
| airtonix | thebigredgeek: i take it you don't do much "best practice" web development. | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | ? | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | Meaning? | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | I would love to wire up a CI tool | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | Currently no monies for that | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | I am starting my own company atm | 06:21 |
| mapps | njust get it off the sitte unpack and run | 06:21 |
| mapps | CI? | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | not yet funded | 06:21 |
| thebigredgeek | Ya like travis ci | 06:21 |
| airtonix | thebigredgeek: if you had done anything other than ftp a wordpress install up to a godaddy server you'd discover that PaaS services like Heroku are worth their weight in gold | 06:21 |
| airtonix | only machoistic people like to setup their own EC2 instances and manage everything | 06:22 |
| thebigredgeek | Ya I have done quite a bit more ;) | 06:22 |
| thebigredgeek | Just looking to cut corners | 06:22 |
| thebigredgeek | Rather than install jenkins, etc | 06:22 |
| airtonix | thebigredgeek: well your question was basically : "how to deploy a nodejs application" | 06:22 |
| airtonix | thebigredgeek: now you're throwing in "continous integration" ? | 06:23 |
| airtonix | and the answer is still : use a PaaS like heroku or openshift | 06:23 |
| thebigredgeek | Lol, your starting to sound machoistic | 06:23 |
| airtonix | use proper feature flip | 06:23 |
| airtonix | thebigredgeek: trust me. i've been there. if i can avoid setting up server side logic, then i will avoid it. | 06:24 |
| thebigredgeek | Well, I was using Nodejitsu | 06:24 |
| thebigredgeek | But I have plenty of DevOps experience, and I really don't enjoy paying for both Mongo and NodeJS | 06:24 |
| thebigredgeek | Huge waste of money IMO | 06:24 |
| airtonix | thebigredgeek: basically anything where your deployment is a 'git push production master' | 06:24 |
| airtonix | but this isn't even something specific to ubuntu | 06:25 |
| thebigredgeek | lol fine I give up | 06:26 |
| airtonix | you could ask these questions on #node or #django to get a better deployment strategy. if you insist on managing your own VM/VPS then for the sake of everyones sanity involved use a deployment configuration tool like ansible | 06:26 |
| thebigredgeek | what is ansible? | 06:27 |
| airtonix | want to start your own company, and you're already giving up? | 06:27 |
| clone2 | yes so true | 06:27 |
| thebigredgeek | On hosting my own, ya | 06:27 |
| thebigredgeek | Its coming back | 06:28 |
| thebigredgeek | Why I started to love Nodejitsu and Heroku | 06:28 |
| thebigredgeek | MaaS sucks | 06:28 |
| jhf_ | why? | 06:28 |
| thebigredgeek | I haven't dealt with this in about 2 years | 06:28 |
| airtonix | you know, web development is one of those things where if you refuse to learn something that looks complicated and instead choose to continue doing everthing manually, you actually end up making the project more complicated and tedious for everyong involved. | 06:28 |
| thebigredgeek | My old company insisted on owned infrastructure | 06:28 |
| === sysadmin is now known as Guest21779 | ||
| clone2 | a guest or a fed | 06:30 |
| airtonix | in my experience, having to run your own metal is the biggest money sink. so you'd want to hope you have a good reason for doing it. hopefully one that sits in a contract backed up by compensation for doing so | 06:30 |

| ubottu | bray90820: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 06:41 |
| chankya | hi | 06:42 |
| bray90820 | somsip: I am not really looking to install ubuntu touch just the UI so i don't think the wiki will help | 06:42 |
| somsip | bray90820: the full message tells you that support and discussion are in #ubuntu-touch channel, not here | 06:43 |
| bray90820 | somsip: the reason i asked here is because i am starting with an install of the x86 version of ubuntu | 06:43 |
| bray90820 | Actually no x64 | 06:44 |
| chankya | how can I add new chaneeel | 06:44 |
| chankya | Channel | 06:44 |
| somsip | chankya: /join mynewchannel | 06:44 |
| somsip | bray90820: what do you mean by 'touch UI' then? | 06:44 |
| chankya | Thanks Somsip :-) | 06:44 |
| bray90820 | I might not be able to explain this correctly but i will try my best | 06:45 |
| bray90820 | I basicly want . | 06:45 |

| bray90820 | somsip: I have a touch screen netbook with ubuntu x64 installed and i want it to behave like ubuntu touch | 06:47 |
| Dylan | Hello. | 06:47 |
| bray90820 | while still being able to use the desktop apps | 06:47 |
| bray90820 | do you understand that? | 06:47 |
| somsip | bray90820: I don't know what you mean by 'like ubuntu touch'. This channel does not support ubuntu touch. | 06:47 |
| rww | oh for crying out loud | 06:47 |
| bray90820 | i want to emulate the features of ubuntu touch on the x64 version | 06:48 |
| Dylan | I've experiencing some Ubuntu installation problems, if anyone is interested in helping me out. | 06:48 |
| somsip | bray90820: then go ask in #ubuntu-touch I can't be more clear on this | 06:48 |
| rww | bray90820: Unfortunately, that's not currently possible. Ubuntu for Phones uses a newer (not stable yet) version of Unity that isn't available on desktop yet. | 06:48 |
| bray90820 | rww: do you understand what i want | 06:48 |
| rww | bray90820: Yep. | 06:48 |
| bray90820 | can you explain it because i am having a hard time doing so | 06:49 |
| rww | bray90820: Unfortunately, what you want isn't doable yet. Probably in a year or so :) | 06:49 |
| miraiE | how can I install packages from the list created by dpkg --get-selections ? | 06:49 |
| rww | bray90820: They're still working on the whole Unity 8 / Mir stack on desktop, it's nowhere near ready | 06:49 |
| bray90820 | rww: can you explain it so somsip can understand what i am trying to say | 06:49 |
| bray90820 | somsip: no offense to you | 06:50 |
| somsip | bray90820: it makes no difference. I understand what you want. I don't need to no anything more. | 06:50 |

| Dylan | I'm attempting to dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu and for the life of me I can't get the Ubuntu installation to get started. | 06:50 |
| bray90820 | somsip: can you explain it to be so i know i explained it correctly | 06:50 |
| Dylan | I had only Ubuntu on my laptop and needed to have both, so I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows with repairs disks. | 06:51 |
| miraiE | anyone, how can I install packages from the list created by dpkg --get-selections ? | 06:51 |
| somsip | miraiE: like this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/37700/dump-dpkg-package-list-for-fresh-installation | 06:51 |
| Dylan | Now I want to put Ubuntu back on as the "main OS", where the Windows partition would only have enough memory to function. | 06:51 |
| clone2 | run the linux from thumb drive or disc | 06:51 |
| clone2 | dual installs not needed | 06:52 |
| Dylan | I'm trying. It's not working. | 06:52 |
| clone2 | multi boot thumb drive for multi linux os from sourceforage | 06:53 |
| Dylan | I went into the BIOS and switched the boot order, but Windows just ignores the USB drive and starts normally. | 06:53 |
| clone2 | program | 06:53 |
| bray90820 | rww: is there at least an onscreen keyboard available that i can use because the one proved by ubuntu is horrible | 06:53 |

| mapps | hi im looking at how you write scripts to start sytuff on bootup..anyway quck question..looking atba few scripts with vases start/stop/reload all makes sense..but how does the server automatically run start? like if its a case statement | 06:54 |
| Dylan | So... anyone able to give me an idea how to get this installation going? | 06:55 |
| mapps | what is it youre tryig to install | 06:56 |
| Zhell | with bootup, just check if your thumb drive is FAT32 | 06:56 |
| Dylan | ubuntu | 06:56 |
| bariho | when buying new hardware, how do I make sure it works well with linux? are there any hardware websites with a linux focus? | 06:56 |
| mapps | and whats the issue bro | 06:56 |
| Dylan | I can't get the installation to start. | 06:56 |
| mapps | probaby a few but one thing bariho avoid like broadcom wireless | 06:56 |
| mapps | ok and how are you trying to install it | 06:56 |
| Dylan | The USB method doesn't do a thing, and a mounted ISO gets me stuck. | 06:56 |
| mapps | stuck where | 06:57 |
| WayneDog | <Quodosh> Hi Tim | 06:57 |
| Dylan | So, I mount the ISO and load it from Windows, telling it to boot from the CD right now, and it restarts and loads the normal purple Ubuntu loading screen, | 06:57 |
| Dylan | Then I get something like this: | 06:57 |
| Dylan | BusyBox v1.20.2(Ubuntu 1:20.0-8.1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) | 06:58 |
| Dylan | (initramfs) help | 06:58 |
| Dylan | Then I have access to a command terminal. | 06:58 |
| mapps | you dont get the boot menu? | 06:58 |
| grahamsavage | ok i'm looking over the internet and it looks like it's very very difficult to get ubuntu 12.04 working on a 2013 macbook air | 06:58 |
| grahamsavage | has anyone here actually got it working? | 06:58 |
| Dylan | You mean like "Normal Mode" and "Safe Graphic Mode"? | 06:58 |
| mapps | yea | 06:58 |
| Dylan | If I press ESC, yea. | 06:58 |
| Zhell | hmm.. try to switch drive to AHCI to IDE | 06:58 |
| mapps | ok..hmph have you tried loading the GUI manually | 06:59 |
| Zhell | *from AHCI to IDE | 06:59 |
| Dylan | Whaddya mean? | 06:59 |
| Zhell | is your bios, i kinda encounter that problem before | 06:59 |
| Zhell | *in your bios | 06:59 |
| Dylan | Zhell: Are you talking to me? | 07:00 |
| marz | Is anyone using bluetile here? | 07:00 |
| Zhell | yeah | 07:00 |
| mapps | oh he sounds like he knows what it is..wonder why its the drive | 07:00 |
| Dylan | Oops, sorry. | 07:00 |
| Dylan | What's AHCI and IDE, and where do I change it in the BIOS? | 07:00 |
| Zhell | the one with installation probs :) | 07:00 |
| Dylan | And what should that change? | 07:00 |
| Zhell | yes in the bios | 07:00 |
| Dylan | Where in the BIOS? | 07:00 |
| Zhell | its probably a hdd settings | 07:01 |
| Dylan | And what should that help with? The USB installation or the mounted ISO installation? | 07:01 |
| Zhell | your trying to install ubuntu right? | 07:02 |
| Dylan | Yes. Dual boot. | 07:02 |
| Ben64 | Dylan: do you already have windows installed | 07:02 |
| Dylan | I had Ubuntu on this computer as of yesterday, so I know it works. | 07:02 |
| Zhell | you see the usual cd startup? | 07:02 |
| Dylan | Yup, I'm on Windows right now. | 07:02 |
| Ben64 | Dylan: then you probably don't want to change the ahci/ide thing, will likely make windows unbootable | 07:02 |
| Zhell | try usb boot | 07:03 |
| Dylan | Zhell: What do you mean by usual cd startup? | 07:03 |
| Zhell | install ubuntu using usb | 07:03 |
| Dylan | Zhell: I've been trying. It doesn't work. | 07:03 |
| Dylan | Zhell: I've switched the boot order and the computer just ignores the USB drive. | 07:03 |
| === root is now known as Guest26114 | ||
| Dylan | I'm actually getting pretty frustrated/starting to freak out ab it. | 07:03 |
| Dylan | a bit( | 07:03 |
| Zhell | is your usb FAT32? | 07:03 |
| Dylan | I just reformatted it, yes. | 07:04 |
| Ben64 | Dylan: how did you prepare the flash drive | 07:04 |
| Zhell | did you use unetbootin? | 07:04 |
| Dylan | Lili USB Creator | 07:04 |
| Zhell | does it support linux bootup? the Lili.. | 07:04 |
| clone2 | multi boot thumb drive for multi linux os from sourceforage | 07:04 |
| dotDeb | i haven't been paying attention to the issue | 07:05 |
| clone2 | program | 07:05 |
| dotDeb | but i find that manually creating a startup disk using dd solves a lot of problems | 07:05 |
| Ben64 | try unetbootin or something else. also try the usb on another computer to see if it boots. | 07:05 |
| dotDeb | or startup usb | 07:05 |
| dotDeb | unetbootin works sometimes | 07:05 |
| Dylan | Zhell: It's for Linux, I believe. | 07:05 |
| Dylan | Fuck, this is ridiculous. I'm so pissed. | 07:05 |
| dotDeb | dylan what are you trying to do? | 07:05 |
| Zhell | okay. dont encounter it yet. I've been using unetbootin | 07:05 |
| Dylan | I'm trying to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. | 07:06 |
| dotDeb | ah | 07:06 |
| Dylan | With Ubuntu being the "main OS", and the Windows with a small partition as possible. | 07:06 |
| dotDeb | and the problem you're having is that you can't make a bootable USB? | 07:06 |
| Dylan | The problem I'm having is I can't install Ubuntu. | 07:06 |
| dotDeb | ah | 07:06 |
| Dylan | I've tried a bootable USB and mounting an ISO. | 07:06 |
| dotDeb | so what is the problem exactly? | 07:06 |
| Dylan | I don't really care how I install it, I just want it back. | 07:07 |
| dotDeb | does the bootable usb work? | 07:07 |
| Dylan | Nope. | 07:07 |
| Dylan | The computer doesn't even acknowledge its existence. | 07:07 |
| dotDeb | it doesn't boot into the usb at all? | 07:07 |
| dotDeb | ok one sec | 07:07 |
| Zhell | did you see something like this GRBU> | 07:07 |
| dotDeb | i will have my recommendation | 07:07 |
| dotDeb | soon | 07:07 |
| Zhell | *GRUB> | 07:07 |
| Dylan | Zhell: Nope. | 07:07 |
| Dylan | dotDeb: Thank you. | 07:07 |
| Dylan | dotDeb: Is it possible to use Wubi? Or does that just create a Virtualbox? | 07:08 |
| dotDeb | dylan wubi is probably an absolute worst-case option, because it's not ideal | 07:08 |
| Dylan | Good, then I'll trash it. | 07:08 |
| dotDeb | trash it? | 07:08 |
| dotDeb | what does that mean | 07:08 |
| Dylan | The idea. | 07:08 |
| dotDeb | ah | 07:08 |
| Dylan | And the file. | 07:08 |
| dotDeb | i used wubi when i first moved to linux | 07:08 |
| dotDeb | and it helped with the transition i must say | 07:09 |
| Zhell | what version is your ubuntu? | 07:09 |
| Dylan | I've been using Ubuntu for 3 years now. | 07:09 |
| Dylan | I'm already transitioned. | 07:09 |
| Dylan | I was running 12.10, but I don't even care what I get. | 07:09 |
| Dylan | Just get me out of this Windows hell. | 07:09 |
| dotDeb | dylan | 07:09 |
| dotDeb | http://www.chrysocome.net/dd | 07:09 |
| dotDeb | dd is the manual way | 07:09 |
| Dylan | So I can get my backup back into my computer. | 07:09 |
| dotDeb | it's a unix tool | 07:10 |
| dotDeb | but there's a windows version apparently | 07:10 |
| Dylan | Looks like something I'm going to totally screw up. | 07:10 |
| Dylan | The issue I'm having here is I dual-booted this computer like 3 years ago and it worked fine. | 07:10 |
| dotDeb | dylan worst case is the usb drive doesn't boot, assuming you put in the correct file paths | 07:10 |
| Dylan | And I think I used a mounted ISO. | 07:10 |
| Dylan | And I'm frustrated because I can't understand why it isn't working this time, especially as I've restored the computer to factory condition. | 07:11 |
| dotDeb | dylan well the problem you're having doesn't have to do with actually setting up the dual boot, right? | 07:11 |
| dotDeb | it's getting the live cd to work | 07:11 |
| dotDeb | wait, one other thing | 07:11 |
| Dylan | I think so. | 07:11 |
| dotDeb | you downloaded a bootable live version of ubuntu right? | 07:11 |
| dotDeb | oh wait | 07:12 |
| dotDeb | are they all bootable? | 07:12 |
| Dylan | I would assume so? | 07:12 |
| Dylan | I got it from the website. | 07:12 |
| dotDeb | dylan did you try using pen drive linux? | 07:12 |
| Zhell | dylan. have you try to go to bios and change the hdd compatibility from AHCI to IDE. then try usb installation again, with fat32 format | 07:12 |
| Dylan | No. What's that? | 07:12 |
| dotDeb | dylan http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 07:12 |
| Dylan | Zhell: Will that disable Windows? | 07:12 |
| marz__ | Is anybody here using Bluetile? | 07:13 |
| Zhell | i think it will bootup the ubuntu correctly | 07:13 |
| dotDeb | zhell i thought the usb wasn't even booting, so how will that help him? | 07:13 |
| Dylan | Zhell: Yes, but will it also disable Windows? | 07:13 |
| Dylan | Zhell: Because the reason I'm having this problem in the first place was because I needed Windows again. | 07:13 |
| dotDeb | zhell that seems somewhat unnecessary | 07:13 |
| dotDeb | dylan does the usb boot at all? | 07:13 |
| Dylan | No. | 07:14 |
| Dylan | The computer doesn't even acknowledge that it's there. | 07:14 |
| dotDeb | dylan blank screen? | 07:14 |
| Dylan | Nope, Windows just boots normally like nothing happened. | 07:14 |
| dotDeb | dylan oh. so when you go to boot options it's not listed? | 07:14 |
| Zhell | he said it just skip the usb bootup | 07:14 |
| Dylan | Here's what I did: | 07:14 |
| dotDeb | dylan you're going into boot options right? | 07:14 |
| Dylan | I went to the BIOS, went to the Boot List, and put USB drives before Hard Disk. | 07:15 |
| dotDeb | dylan because it will skip automatically otherwise | 07:15 |
| dotDeb | dylan ah ok | 07:15 |
| dotDeb | dylan is it giving feedback like "device not bootable" | 07:15 |
| Dylan | Nope. | 07:15 |
| dotDeb | dylan hrmph | 07:15 |
| Dylan | Computer does not acknowledge device AT ALL. | 07:15 |
| Dylan | It just starts Windows normally. | 07:16 |
| dotDeb | dylan is there an option to go into "boot options" when you boot? | 07:16 |
| Dylan | Dunno, I would have to restart to check again. | 07:16 |
| dotDeb | dylan ah | 07:16 |
| dotDeb | dylan it shouldn't matter but usually you can select the device you want and that would show if it's being detected | 07:16 |
| dotDeb | dylan do you have a phone you could run an irc client on? | 07:16 |
| Dylan | No. | 07:17 |
| dotDeb | dylan that way you could restart and keep chatting | 07:17 |
| Dylan | Are you in the US? | 07:17 |
| dotDeb | dylan ah nvm | 07:17 |
| dotDeb | dylan yes | 07:17 |
| Dylan | Could I call you/you call me? | 07:17 |
| dotDeb | dylan no, sorry | 07:17 |
| Dylan | :( | 07:17 |
| clone2 | team view | 07:17 |
| dotDeb | clone2 team view doesn't work during a restart ;P | 07:17 |
| dotDeb | dylan sorry, i'm not giving away personal information online | 07:18 |
| Dylan | I'll give you my number and you can call it. | 07:18 |
| dotDeb | dylan you'll have mine when i call you | 07:18 |
| Zhell | lol | 07:18 |
| dotDeb | dylan it can get figured out over irc | 07:18 |

| Dylan | A'ight, I guess I'll just have to offer these 10,000 porn subscriptions to someone else... | 07:18 |
| clone2 | just let the windows have the hard drive and run linux from disc or usb stick | 07:18 |
| dotDeb | dylan let's just say I'm religious and wouldn't want it anyways | 07:19 |
| Dylan | I apologize. I'm really freaking out because I'm staring at my external hard drive with the last 4 years of my life on it that I can't access until Ubuntu works. | 07:19 |
| akaWolf | 14:22:34 < akaWolf> hello! I have a strange issue: I don't know why, but system is not trying to load a i915_dri.so. emma | 07:19 |
| clone2 | dual system no trouble | 07:19 |
| akaWolf | 14:22:47 < akaWolf> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7066804/ | 07:19 |
| dotDeb | dylan wait, why can't you access it until ubuntu works? | 07:19 |
| clone2 | kids | 07:19 |
| dotDeb | dylan what about windows and backing it up through that? | 07:19 |
| Dylan | Well, I could access it, but I don't want it all over Windows. | 07:19 |
| clone2 | allways have to make things harder | 07:19 |
| dotDeb | dylan what do you mean? | 07:20 |
| Dylan | I want Windows as tiny as possible in the corner of my hard drive. | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | dylan ok but if you're worried about losing data you should back everything up | 07:20 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest88375 | ||
| Dylan | It's all backed up. | 07:20 |
| Dylan | I just can't work until I can get Ubuntus up and running again. | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | dylan then why are you saying you can't access your data until ubuntu works? | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | ah | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | ok | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | well | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | step one | 07:20 |
| Dylan | Yes I could technically open the stuff up on Windows, but that would ruin my entire organization. | 07:20 |
| dotDeb | is to get the live usb working | 07:21 |
| Dylan | Plus using Windows right now makes me feel like I have lice. | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | lol | 07:21 |
| Dylan | Okay, so I'm going to go into the BIOS and look for the Boot Options. | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | not the bios | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | usually a separate thing | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | accessed by tapping one of the "f%" buttons | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | like f8 | 07:21 |
| Ben64 | Dylan: can you use a cd/dvd to boot ubuntu? | 07:21 |
| Dylan | Alright, I'm a clean slate. Tell me what I need to do. | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | or f7 | 07:21 |
| dotDeb | it should tell you at boot | 07:22 |
| dotDeb | also, what ben64 said | 07:22 |
| Dylan | It's ESC. | 07:22 |
| marz__ | How Do I set something that when I type a word it executes an application? | 07:22 |
| Dylan | I've got a 700MB CD and a 750MB ISO file. | 07:22 |
| dotDeb | dylan ouch | 07:22 |
| Zhell | go with cd installation. | 07:22 |
| dotDeb | yea | 07:22 |
| dotDeb | i change my midn | 07:22 |
| dotDeb | mind | 07:22 |
| Dylan | I guess I could go get a DVD, but I keep feeling like I might get it if I hit the right button. | 07:22 |
| SirLagz | marz__: alt-f2 ? | 07:23 |
| dotDeb | well you could try looking in boot options | 07:23 |
| dotDeb | and then just coming back to irc if not | 07:23 |
| Dylan | I'll do that. | 07:23 |
| dotDeb | ok cya in a few | 07:23 |
| Dylan | And if it doesn't work, I'll drive down to Fuckmart and buy a DVD. | 07:23 |
| Dylan | Wait. | 07:23 |
| Dylan | What am I doing in the Boot Options? | 07:23 |
| marz__ | SirLagz: I mean in terminal. Like when I type in gedit, it runs gedit. How does that work? | 07:23 |
| dotDeb | looking for your usb | 07:23 |
| dotDeb | it should be | 07:24 |
| dotDeb | a simple dialogue | 07:24 |
| Dylan | And if it is should I run it? Or should I come back and report? | 07:24 |
| dotDeb | that lets you choose from a list of bootable devices | 07:24 |
| dotDeb | you can try running it | 07:24 |
| Ben64 | Dylan: and please watch the language in here | 07:24 |
| dotDeb | i guess | 07:24 |
| Dylan | Ben: I apologize. | 07:24 |
| akaWolf | hey! | 07:24 |
| Dylan | <---- Worked up. | 07:24 |
| dotDeb | dylan i know the feeling | 07:24 |
| SirLagz | marz__: the PATH environment variable lists the places where the executables live, normally places like /bin, /usr/bin etc. when you run a command, the shell looks in those places for the executable that you ran. | 07:25 |
| huffg | helloo any ideas if it's possible to know when audio output exists. i'd like to rig a macro into 10sec silence | 07:25 |
| Dylan | Okay, first I'm going to reformat my USB drive with this Universal USB Installer you guys told me to get... | 07:25 |
| dotDeb | dylan okay | 07:26 |
| dotDeb | dylan what version of ubuntu ru trying to get? | 07:26 |
| Dylan | I don't even know. I had 12.10 before, and I have a 12.04 and a 13.10 ISO right now. | 07:26 |
| clone2 | try puppy if ubuntu doesnt work | 07:26 |
| clone2 | mac puppy | 07:27 |
| Dylan | I think I'll just go with the 12.04 and if it works, upgrade it. | 07:27 |
| dotDeb | dylan ok | 07:27 |
| Dylan | Do I care about persistent file size? | 07:27 |
| dotDeb | dylan no | 07:27 |
| Ben64 | Dylan: if you wait a month and a bit, you can upgrade from 12.04 directly to 14.04 | 07:27 |
| === stunts513 is now known as stunts513-sleepi | ||
| marz__ | SirLagz: Like when I type java, where does it show that it maps the word java to my java directory? | 07:28 |
| === stunts513-sleepi is now known as stunts513-sleepn | ||
| SirLagz | marz__: in the PATH environment variable | 07:28 |
| marz__ | SirLagz: /etc/environment only shows the PATH. It doesn't show where it maps the word "java" to the path | 07:28 |
| Dylan | Ungh, another 15 minutes to make this USB drive. | 07:29 |
| dotDeb | dylan :/ | 07:29 |
| marz__ | SirLagz: Do I have to create a alias for that? | 07:29 |
| Dylan | Oo, or 4. I can deal with that. | 07:29 |
| dotDeb | dylan :) | 07:29 |
| SirLagz | marz__: what are you trying to do ? | 07:29 |
| marz__ | I have downloaded IntelliJ. When I need to run it I always need to go to /Downloads/IntelliJ/bin/ then do a "sh idea.sh". I want to make it so that when I type intellij it does that for me | 07:30 |
| marz__ | SirLagz: I have downloaded IntelliJ. When I need to run it I always need to go to /Downloads/IntelliJ/bin/ then do a "sh idea.sh". I want to make it so that when I type intellij it does that for me | 07:30 |
| Edler | hey guys | 07:30 |
| huffg | marz__: man alias | 07:30 |
| Edler | is there a way to setup a quick vpn from my mac osx to a remote ubuntu server | 07:30 |
| Edler | so that all traffic passes through the ubuntu server and uses its IP address | 07:30 |
| Edler | ? | 07:30 |
| marz__ | huffg: "No manual entry for alias" | 07:30 |
| Edler | i don't need security | 07:30 |
| huffg | marz__: add to .bash_profile or .bashrc on home dir | 07:31 |
| SirLagz | marz__: you could make a script inside /usr/bin to run what you want, or you could add /Downloads/IntelliJ/bin/ to the path | 07:31 |
| huffg | marz__: probably alias intellij ./downloads/IntelliJ/bin/idea.sh | 07:31 |
| Dylan | Okay, it's done. | 07:31 |
| dotDeb | dylan okay | 07:31 |
| Dylan | I'm goin' down! | 07:31 |
| huffg | or other way around | 07:31 |
| huffg | you can just try it | 07:31 |
| SirLagz | marz__: or do what huffg said | 07:31 |
| dotDeb | dylan cya in a few | 07:31 |
| marz__ | huffg: will that be permanent? | 07:31 |
| huffg | marz__: there is .bashrc .bash_profile sourced when you start a terminal so you add that to either one of them in your home dir | 07:32 |
| huffg | just try it | 07:32 |
| marz__ | huffg: Can I put it anywhere on the file? | 07:33 |
| SirLagz | marz__: yes | 07:33 |
| huffg | echo echo what is this >> .bashrc then ctrl+alt+t | 07:33 |
| huffg | woops | 07:33 |
| huffg | ~/.bashrc | 07:33 |
| Dylan | No dice. | 07:35 |
| Dylan | No dice. The computer sees nothing. | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | dylan so you got to the device selection dialogue? | 07:35 |
| Dylan | Ja. | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | and the usb wasn't listed? | 07:35 |
| Dylan | Correct. | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | o.O | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | even if it's unbootable | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | it should be listed | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | i believe | 07:35 |
| marz__ | SirLagz: Is this correct? alias intelliJ = /home/marz/Downloads/idea-IC-129.713/bin/idea.sh it gives me an error | 07:35 |
| dotDeb | very, very strange | 07:35 |
| Dylan | I think I read somewhere someone having a similar problem with my model of laptop. | 07:36 |
| Dylan | Alright, so should I start driving to ****mart? | 07:36 |
| dotDeb | dylan was the dvd/cd drive listed? | 07:36 |
| Dylan | Yes. | 07:36 |
| dotDeb | well maybe | 07:36 |
| Dylan | You got something else to try in the interim? | 07:36 |
| huffg | alias intelliJ="./home/marz/Downloads/idea-IC-129.713/bin/idea.sh" | 07:36 |
| dotDeb | dylan not particularly, no | 07:37 |
| dotDeb | someone else may | 07:37 |
| Dylan | So ****mart it is. | 07:37 |
| huffg | marz__: better to omit capital letters from commands | 07:37 |
| huffg | intellij | 07:37 |
| Zhell | dylan, i have same problem before with lenovo laps | 07:37 |
| huffg | marz__: and directory paths | 07:37 |
| Edler | so no one can help me setup a vpn on my ubuntu | 07:37 |
| Dylan | Thank the Gods of Consumerism that I live in the US and I can buy DVDs at 1 in the morning. | 07:37 |
| Zhell | i read a forum that says it has something to do with bios UEFI | 07:37 |
| huffg | you will press that shift many many times if an essential directory starts with a capital letter | 07:38 |
| Dylan | In Austria everything closes at 6. :P | 07:38 |
| marz__ | huffg: bash: alias: intellij: not found bash: alias: =: not found bash: alias: sh /home/marz/Downloads/idea-IC-129.713/bin/idea.sh: not found | 07:38 |
| sanchit_ | hv | 07:38 |
| huffg | marz__: i have no ubuntu but just relax man and http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/aliases.html run the example there | 07:39 |
| Dylan | Anyway, I'll be back in 20-30 minutes. | 07:39 |
| huffg | marz__: get a test alias working | 07:39 |
| huffg | alias Jesse_James='echo "\"Alias Jesse James\" was a 1959 comedy starring Bob Hope."';Jesse_James | 07:39 |
| huffg | run that line hehe | 07:39 |
| marz__ | huffg: It was because of the spaces | 07:41 |
| huffg | marz__: yes yes | 07:42 |
| marz__ | huffg: Thanks! ;) | 07:43 |
| huffg | np np | 07:43 |
| marz__ | huffg: But I still need to clarify, where in the system does it map a keyword - e.g."java" - to a envrioment variable? | 07:43 |
| huffg | marz__: well paste your echo $PATH | 07:44 |
| marz__ | huffg: For example, when you have your java installed on /usr/bin/java. How does Linux know that when you type java you're looking exactly for that directory? | 07:45 |
| huffg | marz__: anyways you have a dir in your PATH which usually has a soft(?) link to your actual path | 07:45 |
| marz__ | huffg: But with a lot of environment variables, how does it know which one is which? | 07:46 |
| huffg | marz__: just type which java | 07:46 |
| huffg | marz__: there is also /etc/alternatives config to configure uhuh alternative paths i guess | 07:46 |
| marz__ | huffg: That's exactly my question. With a lot of environment variables/path how does it determine which one are you looking for when typing java? Does it compare the string literally? | 07:47 |
| marz__ | huffg: When you type in java, does it literally compare which environment variable/path has the java word on it? | 07:47 |
| huffg | marz__: no, i don't know the specifics but it's sufficient to say it will look through every directory in PATH variable | 07:48 |
| marz__ | huffg: What I was trying to do is add an environment variable with a path to an application and map a keyword to that path. I ended up using alias instead. Hahahaha! | 07:49 |
| huffg | yes yes alias is the right way to do it | 07:49 |
| huffg | you can also add stuff to PATH but thats unnecessary if the application does not actually need to know the path | 07:50 |
| huffg | alias is the right way to do it then | 07:50 |
| huffg | and usually apps want a different variable than PATH | 07:51 |
| marz__ | huffg: Have you tried using bluetile? | 07:54 |
| huffg | marz__: no whats that :( | 07:57 |
| huffg | :/ | 07:57 |
| marz__ | huffg: A window tiling manager hehehe | 07:57 |
| huffg | ok | 07:59 |
| huffg | unity is all right½! | 08:01 |
| crispin | xmonad FTW | 08:02 |
| Walex | marz__: tiling managers written in obscure languages with windows in tiny fonts with a color scheme like blue on black are typical of a certain "demographic" :-) | 08:02 |
| jhf_ | hi all, i am finding a lightweight terminal manager, any suggestion? | 08:02 |
| Dylan | Alrighty... let's hope I got the right DVDs. | 08:02 |
| grahamsavage | hey.. i've just got a new macbook air 2013 model, and i'd like to install ubuntu 12.04 on it. If that's not possible i'd like to look at either 13.10 or 14.04. Has anyone had any success installing any of these? | 08:03 |
| marz__ | Walex: I didn't get one thing that you said. | 08:03 |
| grahamsavage | i've read many guides on the internet and they all point to various issues | 08:03 |
| dotDeb | dylan :) | 08:03 |
| Walex | marz__: there may be still for you then :-) | 08:04 |
| Walex | marz__: but what is your color scheme for terminal windows? | 08:04 |
| marz__ | Walex: green and black | 08:04 |
| Dylan | Son of a .... | 08:04 |
| dotDeb | dylan ?? | 08:05 |
| Dylan | ....i bought cds. | 08:05 |
| marz__ | Walex: I was asking about Bluetile which is a tiling window manager since it's not working perfectlyt for me | 08:05 |
| Walex | marz__: how tiny are your fonts? How close to the screen do you need to be to read them? | 08:05 |
| dotDeb | dylan facepalm | 08:05 |
| Dylan | Already did. | 08:05 |
| marz__ | Walex: hmmm | 08:05 |
| dotDeb | dylan what | 08:05 |
| Dylan | Facepalm. | 08:05 |
| Dylan | Already did it. | 08:05 |
| dotDeb | oh | 08:05 |
| dotDeb | ya | 08:05 |
| Walex | marz__: it also helps if you own a monocycle or a Rapsberry Pi :-) | 08:06 |
| marz__ | Walex: I think we're talking about two different aspects here. | 08:06 |
| Walex | marz__: but they tend to correlate with each other... | 08:07 |
| marz__ | Walex: Let me give to you straight. Bluetile is not working perfectly for me. Win+p used to run Gnome runner dialog is not working. It also does not return to my normal gnome desktop when I quit it | 08:07 |
| Dylan | I'm going to bed. If I'm making mistakes like this now I'm just going to keep making them. | 08:08 |
| dotDeb | dylan ok, goodnight! | 08:08 |
| huffg | can i verify the existence of audio output from command line? | 08:09 |
| Dylan | Thanks for your help, Deb. | 08:09 |
| Walex | marz__: for Win-P you probably need to change a binding in the BlueTile config. As to returning to your GNOME desktop when you quit it, if it is a window manager that's not how things work. | 08:09 |
| Walex | huffg: yes if you have a microphone. | 08:09 |
| Walex | huffg: you activate the microphone, play some sounds, and check that the microphone registers an increased sound level. That can all be done command line, but it takes a fair bit of scripting. | 08:10 |
| marz__ | Walex: Have you tried using BlueTIle? I just installed it using 'apt-get install bluetile', I don't even know where the config file is. Do you? | 08:11 |
| iptable | marz__, really read the manual | 08:11 |
| huffg | Walex: mm, scripting is np | 08:12 |
| Walex | marz__: "Bluetile can be configured by editing the file ~/.bluetilerc . " http://www.bluetile.org/#documentation | 08:12 |
| marz__ | Walex: there is not ./bluetilerc | 08:12 |
| iptable | marz__, create it and put your configs in there. | 08:12 |
| marz__ | iptable: Actually there was a control panel on the left of my screen back then, I managed to accidentally remove it. There was a button that opens a config file there | 08:13 |
| dotDeb | dylan no problem | 08:13 |
| iptable | marz__, :/ uhm. what can I tell you then... | 08:14 |
| marz__ | iptable: Are you familiar with BlueTile, do you know while file it was pointing to? | 08:14 |
| iptable | marz__, http://man.cx/bluetile%281%29 | 08:15 |
| iptable | marz__, according to man pages, it IS ~/.bluetilerc | 08:15 |
| iptable | marz__, and as Walex said, it's not ./bluetilerc, but ~/.bluetilerc | 08:15 |
| iptable | marz__, if you read carefully you will notice the file starts with a dot "." - it means it's hidden. just edit it. | 08:16 |
| marz__ | iptable: That's what the problem is, there is no ~/.bluetilerc. I noticed something though, Ubuntu does things differently than the docs | 08:16 |
| marz__ | than what is written on the docs | 08:16 |
| iptable | marz__, it depends on how the packages are compiled. Did you try ls -a ~ ? | 08:17 |
| iptable | marz__, look at the files in there from that command. | 08:17 |
| marz__ | iptable: So how do I bind win+p to execute the Gnome run application dialog? | 08:18 |
| iptable | marz__, but if I was to hazard a guess, if Win+P doesn't work and you don't have a taskbar and things are generally not as expected, maybe you have removed that file somehow? | 08:18 |
| llutz | marz__: that there is no user config doesn't mean anything. create one and see if it is used. example /usr/share/bluetile/etc/bluetilerc_user_templat | 08:18 |
| marz__ | iptable: I assure you I did not remove anything. | 08:18 |
| === me is now known as Guest79346 | ||
| cai__ | sdfsdf | 08:19 |
| iptable | marz__, see above what llutz said. Well, you removed taskbar "accidentally". It can mean anything to me... | 08:19 |
| marz__ | iptable: According to the man page, win+p runs the gnome runner application dialog, it doesn't. Other keys run perfectly though | 08:19 |
| cai__ | 大家好！ | 08:19 |
| marz__ | iptable: I found the config file, I uncommented the start_dock:false to remove it | 08:19 |
| iptable | marz__, maybe you have Win+P tied using another shortcuts app to something else? tried finding that? | 08:19 |
| marz__ | iptable: How do I find that? | 08:20 |
| iptable | marz__, use the gnome menu, come on. | 08:20 |
| marz__ | iptable: Sorry about this one mate, just a total noob here. :D | 08:20 |
| iptable | marz__, and are you sure that the gnome "run application" dialog is installed and present? Is it gnome 2 or gnome 3? | 08:20 |
| iptable | marz__, in gnome, try CTRL+F2 or ALT+F2 - see if one of those starts the "run dialog" for me please | 08:21 |
| arcsky | default pwd to ubuntu livecd? | 08:22 |
| marz__ | iptable: I'm using Gnome Shell 3.4.1. Ctrl+F2 or Alt+F2 doesn't do anything. Just a note, I'm currently running bluetile right now | 08:22 |
| iptable | marz__, gnome shell 3 doesn't have the standard gnome2 "start application dialog" any more from what I understand. | 08:23 |
| marz__ | iptable: that maybe the case, how will I run application now? aside from running it in terminal | 08:23 |
| marz__ | hehehe | 08:23 |
| iptable | marz__, which would explain the Win+P. Gnome3 does things differently. Apparently, according to bluetile, it's built for gnome2. | 08:23 |
| iptable | marz__, well, it's not our fault you run the wrong sort of application. In gnome 3, you just press and let go of the windows (super) button and you get the application launcher/search window. | 08:24 |
| iptable | marz__, or look for some sort of application launcher dialog (or write your own one as a shell script), then configure Win+P to start that | 08:25 |
| marz__ | iptable: I'm sorry for all the trouble mate. Didn't know bluetile was built for gnome2. | 08:25 |
| iptable | marz__, but you are trying to reinvent the wheel. | 08:25 |
| iptable | marz__, if you want something for snome3, shellshape is a better alternative | 08:25 |
| iptable | marz__, and apparently xmonad works well with gnome3, but that's apparently. | 08:26 |
| marz__ | iptable: I tried that one, didn't like it. | 08:26 |
| marz__ | iptable: xmonad is quite hard to configure though | 08:26 |
| iptable | marz__, you are therefore out of options. Alternatively install Linux Mint Mate (which is ubuntu with a fork of gnome2), and you can use your bluetile | 08:27 |

| someHuman | How do I check repo for a package availability? | 08:40 |
| Walex | someHuman: 'apt-cache' | 08:40 |
| Walex | someHuman: or just use 'aptitude'. | 08:41 |
| someHuman | Walex: Cool thanks! | 08:41 |
| someHuman | What's the difference? | 08:41 |
| Walex | someHuman: 'apt-cache search' and 'apt-cache info' IIRC | 08:41 |
| Walex | someHuman: 'apt-cache' is purely command line, 'aptitude' has a (text, not GUI) full screen interface. | 08:41 |

| skramer_ | Walex: you mean no way to avoid this ugly appearance? :( | 08:47 |
| Walex | skramer_: there is *some* ability to change the skinning of Java apps... | 08:47 |
| Walex | skramer_: search the web for "java themes" | 08:48 |
| skramer_ | I see, thank you | 08:49 |
| Walex | skramer_: usually apps allow you to change the theme, but IIRC there are ways to change that at startup | 08:50 |
| Pyro_Killer | hello, does linux have a good alternative to: http://www.voidtools.com/ | 08:50 |
| Walex | skramer_: here is a nice explanation here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/plaf.html | 08:50 |
| Pyro_Killer | Everything, i really miss it after i switched | 08:50 |
| Walex | skramer_: probably you are interested in the section "Specifying the Look and Feel: Command Line" and the next one or two. | 08:51 |
| Midion_ | anyone know why where max_allowed_packet should be. i checked in my.cnf but it is not there and if I add it. It turns everything white when trying to install drupal. | 08:51 |
| Walex | skramer_: and perhaps you want to switch to 'com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' | 08:52 |
| llutz | !info catfish | Pyro_Killer | 08:52 |
| ubottu | Pyro_Killer: catfish (source: catfish): File searching tool which is configurable via the command line. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 (saucy), package size 115 kB, installed size 814 kB | 08:52 |
| skramer_ | Walex: I just try it. Interestingly, it says that "main class projectlibre" could not be found... | 08:53 |
| Midion_ | after many hours i think i should have just went with a windows vps. | 08:53 |
| skramer_ | which I honestly don´t really understand.. | 08:53 |
| Cyph3r | @Midion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8062496/how-to-change-max-allowed-packet-size | 08:54 |
| Walex | skramer_: that depends on which JVM you have perhaps. | 08:54 |
| clouder`grr | offtopic, but it efnet down? I can seem to connec to any servers | 08:55 |
| Pyro_Killer | llutz: this is awful, and takes forever, "Everything" pre-indexes all the files so searching takes literally seconds, and updates the index everytime a change is made | 08:56 |
| llutz | Pyro_Killer: use locate/find then, done :) | 08:57 |
| Walex | Pyro_Killer: llutz: for file indexing my favourite one is 'recoll', but I'll have a look at 'catfish' too. | 08:57 |
| Midion_ | i'll try again and set it higher this time. | 08:57 |
| clouder`grr | nm, it was because I was trying to connect via ssl | 08:57 |
| Cyph3r | @clouder'grr: i was able to connect to efnet | 08:57 |
| Pyro_Killer | Walex: this is more like it | 08:59 |
| Pyro_Killer | I feel that in a world of 4 TB drives offering up some megabytes for a complete filesystem index is worth it | 08:59 |
| skramer_ | Walex: Now I modified the swing.properties file as described on that website. Still, it does not seem to have any influence | 09:00 |
| Walex | Pyro_Killer: 'recoll' has pretty large indices, like 5-8% of space, but it is very effective. | 09:01 |
| Walex | skramer_: you need to check that it is actually read, and that the relevant theme files are installed, which thney should be. It might depend a bit on the JVM and toolkit implementation installed, if it is IcedTea it might be a bit different. | 09:02 |
| Pyro_Killer | Walex: so if i want to index 1.5 TB, the database will take about 75-100 GB? | 09:04 |
| MasterScript | mylocal ip: 10.0.0.11 and internet ip: 24.129.29.217 | 09:08 |
| MasterScript | how to add 24.129.29.217 ? | 09:08 |
| skramer_ | Walex: Just found this comment: "If this didn't work, that means the developer of the app hardcoded the look and feel. " (http://askubuntu.com/questions/21886/how-can-i-get-a-java-apps-to-use-the-gtk-theme) Guess that might be the problem. | 09:14 |
| skramer_ | Walex: Thank you anyway for your patience and assistance :) | 09:14 |
| Pyro_Killer | anyone know what version will become the new LTS after 12.04? | 09:17 |
| Midion_ | sigh... I know someone lol because i said i wanted to use a xrdp, but setting up this vps is isane. Its easy to setup but not so much if the site cannot install. | 09:17 |
| Midion_ | I thought I saw someone saying it was going to be 13.04. | 09:17 |
| DJones | Pyro_Killer: 14.04 will be LTS, they're released every two years | 09:19 |
| Pyro_Killer | I was really happy with TightVNC for remote desktop | 09:19 |
| Pyro_Killer | to server | 09:19 |
| Pyro_Killer | It's funny how people still use Windows from 2001, and ubuntu 12.04 already feels a bit dated | 09:21 |
| MooDoo | I know peple that still use xp, sad! | 09:21 |

| cfhowlett | !server|Midion_, | 09:22 |
| ubottu | Midion_,: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 09:22 |
| Pyro_Killer | Ubuntu server 12.04 is really solid | 09:23 |
| al1o | why is on ubuntu /etc/init and /etc/init.d ? | 09:23 |
| Midion_ | im using 13.04 on my server? I should go down to 12.04? | 09:23 |
| cfhowlett | Midion_, yes. 13.04 is no longer supported | 09:23 |
| al1o | is there a way to convert easily an init.d script to upstart? | 09:23 |
| cfhowlett | Midion_, or jump to 13.10 and upgrade to 14.04 next month | 09:24 |
| MooDoo | no need to down grade, just wait till next month where 14.04 LTS is released | 09:24 |
| Midion_ | well my host only offers up to 13.04 | 09:24 |
| Pyro_Killer | I never switched from 12.04... if you want a stable implementation i would go 12.04 | 09:24 |
| Midion_ | if i wait another month i wasted money. lol | 09:24 |
| DJones | Midion_: Just be aware that 13.04 is no longer supported or receiving security updates since January | 09:24 |
| cfhowlett | Midion_, your hosts limits you to non-supported OS? I'd say time for a change | 09:24 |
| Pyro_Killer | I know I don't have the skill or patience necessary to run cutting, and it has support until 2017 | 09:25 |
| Midion_ | my host has centos 5 and 6 fedora and ubuntu 10 to 13.04 i think. | 09:25 |
| Midion_ | he did send me a email saying my best bet was to use centos but i have used ubuntu as my desktop. so i thought using it for a vps would be easy. | 09:26 |
| BasY | Hi, I need to know the package names, that was updated by last automatic update ... | 09:31 |
| Midion_ | so im just going to stick it out. i am alot more comfortable using command line now. i really dont need xrdp at this point. | 09:32 |

| DJones | tasslehoff: Not that I'm aware of, I suspect any support questions should just be asked here | 09:54 |
| Midion_ | oooh | 09:54 |
| Midion_ | i run apple on my pc hardware. lol | 09:55 |
| iceroot | tasslehoff: a mac is just an intel system with a jail and a high price, so it can be covered here | 09:55 |
| Midion_ | yea i have osx on my dell latitude and my desktop. | 09:55 |
| tasslehoff | ok. I've had it running before, but an osx update broke my dualboot, so I'm just trying to find out if 13.10 will run fine on my MacBookPro 10,1. The wiki says 12.04 will :) | 09:56 |
| iceroot | tasslehoff: live cd to find out | 09:56 |
| Midion_ | good idea | 09:57 |
| tasslehoff | iceroot: live usbstick, that is :) | 09:57 |
| iceroot | tasslehoff: live system :) | 09:57 |
| tasslehoff | yeah. it is the lack of cdrom and wired networking that makes this a bit more of a hassle. but, Just Do It, I guess. | 09:58 |
| tasslehoff | thanks for the input (and output) | 09:58 |
| iceroot | tasslehoff: thats when you buy apple stuff, everything is a fail, nothing is standard | 09:58 |
| Midion_ | I almost forgot what cd's were used for. | 09:58 |
| iceroot | should be jail but i guess fail is also ok in that :) | 09:58 |
| tasslehoff | iceroot: well yeah, but I'm really happy with the hardware, and if ditching optical drive and an ethernet plug is what it took, then so be it | 09:59 |
| iceroot | tasslehoff: yes maybe, i would never buy a system without ethernet plug but opinions are different and i think its off topic | 10:00 |
| Midion_ | I have had osx running on my desktop since jan 2012 with no issues yet. | 10:00 |
| tasslehoff | iceroot: yep. http://randomtutor.blogspot.no/2014/01/installing-ubuntu-on-retina-macbook-pro_19.html has been recently updated, and I think it will get me where I want to be. | 10:02 |

| geirha | Joey__: custom kernel? | 10:47 |
| Joey__ | no geirha, I downloaded the iso from the website and pretty much just answered a bunch of questions about keyboard and language. That's it. | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | resure: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Trusty support | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Joey__: it's just a script problem | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Joey__: it's reading the #! as a command | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | resure: Trusty is not ready and not stable, if you want support here then I suggest you reinstall with a released Ubuntu, like Precise or Saucy | 10:50 |
| geirha | Joey__: ok, let's make sure the first line doesn't contain any odd characers. head -n1 /etc/init.d/srvname | od -An -tx1 -c | 10:50 |
| ikonia | looks at the shell /bin/sh - that is not default on ubuntu | 10:51 |
| ikonia | and is infact a symlink | 10:51 |
| ikonia | I suspect it's a package thats not meant for ubuntu/init script thats not meant for ubuntu so assumes /bin/sh | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Joey__: what is the name of the package that provides srvname | 10:52 |
| geirha | ikonia: ... what? | 10:52 |
| Joey__ | there are encoding bytes in front of the #! 357 273 277 | 10:53 |

| resure | ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll try | 10:54 |
| geirha | Joey__: edited it in a windows editor, then? that usually fails. | 10:54 |
| Joey__ | On the desktop I'm writing the daemon file from my mono application | 10:54 |
| Joey__ | what encoding should i best use? It's UTF-8 now | 10:55 |
| geirha | Joey__: UTF-8 without a BOM, yes | 10:55 |
| geirha | Joey__: and with "unix line endings", that is LF (\n) instead of CRLF (\r\n) | 10:56 |
| Joey__ | Unicode (UTF-8 without signature) - Codepage 65001 | 10:56 |
| Joey__ | yeah I ran in the line endings before, well aware of those :) | 10:57 |
| Joey__ | does that codepage thing look ok to you ? | 10:57 |
| geirha | No idea what Codepage 65001 is, but UTF-8 sounds good. | 10:58 |
| Joey__ | ok, I'm having an problem... the daemon file is a template that I replace some placeholders in with sed, it's the template that has the BOM. Is there a way with sed to specify encoding when using > targetfile ? | 11:03 |
| Joey__ | or another command to pipe the file through ? | 11:03 |
| Joey__ | (will of course fix encodings in next release, but this script I'm doing now should work on current release of the template) | 11:04 |
| geirha | Joey__: you have to make sure the template file is UTF-8 and doesn NOT start with a BOM | 11:05 |

| ActionParsnip | euphogeeza: approval of packages is a great way to avoid issues | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | euphogeeza: you could stop the update and risk the volume, then try and reinstall the package to update it, or let it work | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | euphogeeza: does it pull down the volume to update the package? | 11:33 |
| geirha | euphogeeza: I'd grab the sources (apt-get source lvm2) and try to figure out what on earth it's trying to run that takes 3 days | 11:34 |
| euphogeeza | Blimey ActionParsnip, that's a heck of a work load but I see its useful. How many of you are therre and how many servers? | 11:34 |

| ActionParsnip | ttoine: its prerelease, what did you expect!? | 12:50 |
| Dj_FlyBy | llutz: I get the dns-nameserver part... what is confusing me is the dns-search ..... unsure what to put there as this server hosts many websites but only via a single ip utilizing virtual sites via apache | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ttoine: Trusty is supported only in #ubuntu+1 til release day | 12:50 |
| ttoine | ActionParsnip, I would expect that one month before release, Java would work well... | 12:50 |

| Dj_FlyBy | so I understand how to add the dns-nameserver part to the interfaces file, but can someone clarify for me..... From what I read I gather that the dns-search option is "Not" mandatory? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | euphogeeza: glad it worked out bro. Id have been changing my trousers hourly | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dj_FlyBy: no, the search will simply add the domain you set in the 'search' bit to the names you use in order to help them be found | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dj_FlyBy: eg you could have 4 domains: rod, jane, freddy and a server blue.freddy | 12:58 |

| Dj_FlyBy | ohhhhh..... I get it | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | and then if they dont hit then try the usual DNS stuff, can make resolving names easier | 12:59 |

| ActionParsnip | VSpike: what are you using VNC to achieve? what do you do on the desktop usin gVNC? | 14:01 |
| VSpike | ActionParsnip: It's a wall screen that's used to display a browser with Trello, but the keyboard and mouse are not easily accessible. It used to run XP, and the solution used for control was VNC. I was tryign to mimic that | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | VSpike: so you access the system via vnc, then open a web browser? | 14:02 |
| melt7777 | ActionParsnip, yeah.....but security and userbase wise it is.... i was just being a dummy :) | 14:03 |
| VSpike | ActionParsnip: yes. I can set the browser to start automatically and set the desired page as the homepage, but you still need to be able to "do stuff" | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | VSpike: cant you access the same service using a remote PC, so instead of http://localhost/whatever use http://ip.address.of.box/whatever | 14:04 |
| === UKn0Meh is now known as UKn0Me | ||
| ActionParsnip | VSpike: then configure remotely using the browser on a remote pc... | 14:04 |
| VSpike | ActionParsnip: the box doesn't serve the page, it's just connected to a big TV on the wall and used to display a web page | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | VSpike: gotcha | 14:06 |
| VSpike | I've tried adding it to ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | VSpike: you could make a bash script to run from /etc/rc.local with a sleep in it, then run the VNC server as your user. Background the script so that the boot doesnt hang | 14:07 |

| someHuman | Is anyone from Qatar here? | 14:21 |
| someHuman | Or middle east? | 14:21 |
| BlueProtoman | OerHeks: The official one, deb http://llvm.org/apt/saucy/ llvm-toolchain-saucy main | 14:21 |
| OerHeks | BlueProtoman, they have a newer section, i would try that first > deb http://llvm.org/apt/raring/ llvm-toolchain-raring-3.4 main | 14:24 |

| slowcon | hey guys, looking to downgrade from unity to lxde. would you suggest to rebuild the server and start clean, or would you try these commands | 14:35 |
| slowcon | http://askubuntu.com/questions/413569/whats-the-lightest-ubuntu-desktop-environment | 14:35 |
| someHuman | Hello! | 14:35 |
| someHuman | My Ubuntu can't reach the same range as with my Windows 8.1 | 14:35 |
| usr13 | slowcon: Rebuild the "server"? | 14:35 |
| slowcon | usr13: yeah im installing desktop on a server | 14:36 |
| Beldar | someHuman, Same range? | 14:36 |
| someHuman | Beldar: Yeah | 14:36 |
| Beldar | someHuman, Of what? | 14:37 |
| someHuman | With Windows I can use the internet from my room, but with Ubuntu I can't. | 14:37 |
| someHuman | Wifi, sorry I haven't said that haha! | 14:37 |
| usr13 | slowcon: You don't have to rebuild, just install the packages you want. | 14:37 |
| slowcon | usr13: was just wondering if unity was going to leave things behind or if it was recommended to start fresh. read that in a comment somehwere but the guy didnt say why he suggests to start fresh | 14:38 |
| usr13 | someHuman: So, what seems to be the problem? | 14:38 |
| OerHeks | someHuman, some closed source wifi drivers do not work well on wireless-N, try trottle back to wireless-B/G | 14:39 |
| someHuman | OerHeks: Wireless-b/g? | 14:39 |
| usr13 | slowcon: Just uninstall what you don't want / need and install what you want. | 14:39 |
| someHuman | Ah, makes sense. | 14:39 |
| slowcon | usr13: sounds good to me | 14:39 |
| someHuman | I think I should get a free driver for my internet card. | 14:39 |
| usr13 | someHuman: What does the NetworkManager do for you? | 14:40 |
| usr13 | someHuman: iwconfig #What does that say? | 14:40 |
| someHuman | I don't have my PC with me atm. | 14:40 |
| usr13 | someHuman: What wireless card is installed in it? | 14:41 |
| someHuman | I have ralink. | 14:41 |
| usr13 | someHuman: You will need to go and get your PC and come back, (not much we can do from here). But while we have *you*, tell us what version of Ubuntu you have installed on it. | 14:42 |
| sunmoon | need to install xubuntu 13.10 via nomodeset, is it possible? where can I find step by step command line directions? | 14:42 |
| someHuman | 13.04, fully updated. | 14:42 |
| usr13 | !13.04 | someHuman | 14:42 |
| ubottu | someHuman: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 14:42 |
| someHuman | Yeah I know | 14:43 |
| someHuman | There's one more problem | 14:43 |
| someHuman | I can't boot into 13.10 | 14:43 |
| someHuman | Even with a fresh CD | 14:44 |
| someHuman | It shows me this graphics card config. | 14:44 |
| usr13 | someHuman: So your choices are; 1) Re-install with 12.04.4 or 13.10 or 2) Upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10. So get plugged into wired connection and upgrade or get a USB or CD and figure out how to boot it. | 14:44 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset > sunmoon | 14:44 |
| ubottu | sunmoon, please see my private message | 14:44 |
| usr13 | someHuman: What seems to be the problem? (Why is it you cant boot to 13.10?) | 14:45 |
| someHuman | I can upgrade to 13.10 but all it shows me is a blank screen with a graphic resolution/driver configuration. | 14:45 |
| someHuman | usr13: With a disc, it doesn't even reach the installation stage. | 14:45 |
| someHuman | It shows me this graphics card config. dialouge box. | 14:46 |
| someHuman | Plus, I can't fix it too because it doesn't show the mouse pointer. | 14:46 |
| someHuman | I totally can't do anything about it, except tty1 configuration. Which I am not familiar with lol. | 14:46 |
| usr13 | someHuman: Plug int wired connection, (so that you have internet for sure), upgrade and do 13.10, do all updates; Ctrl-Alt-F6 and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade etc. etc. etc. | 14:47 |
| someHuman | usr13: For sure when after I upgrade, I won't even be able to reach splash screen. | 14:48 |
| usr13 | someHuman: If your turn your WiFi router's security off and make it open, you can use iwconfig to connect. | 14:48 |
| someHuman | Am stuck at graphic drivers dialouge bx. | 14:48 |
| someHuman | No, that isn't the problem. | 14:48 |
| usr13 | someHuman: Ctrl-Alt-F6 | 14:48 |
| someHuman | usr13: What will that do? | 14:49 |
| usr13 | someHuman: It will take you to tty6, you login and work from there. | 14:50 |
| someHuman | Ah | 14:50 |
| someHuman | Hwo does it differ from tty1? | 14:50 |
| usr13 | someHuman: It doesnt (you have 6 of them), it's just that tty6 is next to tty7, (which is where you come from). I don't see a reason to skip all the way down to tty1. | 14:51 |
| Flats | Help... I have a laptop with 2 drives. My first drive has a windows7 that uses windows 7 but work puts mcafee encryption on that drive. I have to login to a mcafee boot screen to load windows. My second drive is the drive bay. I install linux and grub on this partition hit f12 when I boot and boot from that drive | 14:52 |
| Flats | I just installed linux and forgot to change my boot to the 2nd drive and it installed on my main drive | 14:52 |
| someHuman | usr13: I actually have no idea about those haha! | 14:52 |
| Flats | is there any way to uninstall or do I have to send my PC back to be reimaged | 14:52 |
| someHuman | So, they are just the same thing? | 14:52 |
| Flats | sorry uninstall the grub | 14:53 |
| Flats | so it goes back to the mcafee | 14:53 |
| Flats | I don't believe i forgot about that | 14:53 |
| usr13 | someHuman: It's pretty simple, you just login and execute commands as you see fit. To go back to tty7 from tty6 you can do Ctrl-Right-Arrow or Ctrl-Alt-7 | 14:53 |
| usr13 | someHuman: It is what you do if GUI is too hard for you, or if it is broken some how, or if you just want a simplier way of doing things. | 14:54 |
| someHuman | usr13: Ah! | 14:55 |
| usr13 | someHuman: You can have all 7 sessions going at once if you want. And there are "screens" (you can have more than that going on as well). | 14:55 |
| someHuman | So they are like workspaces right? | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | Flats, you can reinstall grub and direct it to a selected target | 14:55 |
| === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 | ||
| usr13 | someHuman: Correct, (but they are called console sessions). | 14:55 |
| Flats | But can I remove it from sda so it restores what was there? | 14:55 |
| usr13 | someHuman: or tty's for short | 14:55 |
| someHuman | Why tty? | 14:56 |
| someHuman | Ah, so you are working directly on the kernel right? | 14:56 |
| usr13 | someHuman: Why not tty? | 14:57 |
| staticwarp | hi there, i'm booting a liveusb of lubuntu 13.10 on an amd a4 laptop with 4gb of ram. the install doesn't complete, i just have a long screen with what i'm assuming are error messages. | 14:57 |
| someHuman | No, I mean what does tty mean haha! | 14:57 |
| someHuman | Sorry! | 14:57 |
| staticwarp | the last one on the line says code: and then a bunch of hex values. | 14:57 |
| usr13 | tty just means a console terminal | 14:58 |
| usr13 | someHuman: tty1 is console terminal #1, tty2 is console terminal #2, tty3 is console terminal #3, etc. etc. etc. | 14:58 |

| basketballllll | How to install separate+ gimp-plugin for cmyk support? | 15:00 |

| pietro10 | it's an archaic term | 15:01 |

| someHuman | So pty is like the | right? | 15:06 |
| someHuman | Got it, thanks! ;) | 15:06 |
| Beldar | staticwarp, You want to be careful in just posting errors without context, many mean nothing without this. | 15:07 |
| staticwarp | Beldar: i understand. i'll try to give context as best i can and only add the errors when asked. :) so this file is bad? i downloaded it from the lubuntu website. how can i ensure i get an uncorrupted iso? | 15:09 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|staticwarp, | 15:09 |
| ubottu | staticwarp,: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 15:09 |
| usr13 | staticwarp: md5sum lubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso #Google the output. | 15:09 |
| OerHeks | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/13.10/release/MD5SUMS | 15:09 |
| Beldar | staticwarp, It is unusual to get a corrupted iso look at the link above and try again. | 15:10 |
| cfhowlett | staticwarp, generally speaking, direct download is less safe than .torrent | 15:10 |
| cfhowlett | well, not so much safe as unreliable | 15:10 |
| OerHeks | wget the iso, so it can resume after halt | 15:10 |
| staticwarp | thanks guys, i'll take a look at the links you posted. | 15:11 |
| usr13 | staticwarp: OerHeks has good advise. I always use wget for large files. | 15:11 |
| usr13 | OerHeks: Actually, he may be doing it from a MS Windows maching and I don't know if wget is cross-platform. Do you? | 15:12 |

| cornfeedhobo | basketball: VB or maybe xen. | 15:53 |
| basketball | cornfeedhobo, what do you want to do | 15:53 |
| psusi | cornfeedhobo: in 14.04 you can use e2image to copy the fs to an image file, leaving out the free blocks to save space. You can also use dd/cat, and then run e2fsck -fE discard on the image to remove all of the free blocks after the fact | 15:54 |

| cornfeedhobo | its the only thing i found years ago | 16:13 |
| cornfeedhobo | the other option is custom script that uses rsync | 16:13 |
| cornfeedhobo | a also think you can modify bacula to perform this, but i have yet to explore that | 16:13 |
| sudormrf | cornfeedhobo: I am thinking of somehow using ubuntu one | 16:14 |
| cornfeedhobo | maybe bacula is what you should be looking at then | 16:14 |
| genii | I'm having a very odd situation. I'm doing ssh -X <server> and then running xterm, which works. If do ifconfig from there it shows me correct internal LAN IP of the server. Then I'm running firefox from in xterm. It starts up on my local machine. But when I go to a page thats supposed to show my external IP I'm getting the IP of the client machine, not the external IP of the server. Additionally, which is really weird... ps aux on both machines | 16:14 |

| irv | howdy, i installed 13.10 server to an hp dl320e g8, when the setup ran, (it setup off a bootable USB), grub installed to /dev/sda (which was the USB drive). I want to install grub to the HD. I've since rebooted the machine (it will only boot to ubuntu with the USB in there) and did sudu grub-install /dev/sda (/dev/sda is the HD once the setup rebooted), says no errors. reboot and the same issue. | 16:17 |
| irv | any ideas on how i can verify that grub is indeed installed to the MBR on the HD | 16:17 |

| Keanu73 | or maybe you could buy a kingston datatraveler 2.0 | 16:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | Plugin is enabled btw | 16:20 |
| irv | cornfeedhobo: isn't that what grub-install does? | 16:20 |
| sudormrf | cornfeedhobo: the goal is to have all of the same applications and files installed and existing on each and every computer...without a server. would rsync be able to accomplish that? | 16:21 |
| cornfeedhobo | irv: yes. personally, i would get a livecd, maybe run fsck, and then chroot in and use grub-install again | 16:21 |
| Newfire | irv: do e "sudo blkid" and look if you have done the grub-install really on the hd | 16:22 |
| leeyaa | hello | 16:22 |

| cornfeedhobo | sudormrf: is there a server? or does the syncing need to be both ways? | 16:28 |

| ActionParsnip | Teddy5090: 32bit can address up to 64Gb RAM using PAE | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Teddy5090: but eac process will only see 3.2Gb | 17:15 |
| Teddy5090 | ActionParsnip: Yes I realize that, but Ubuntu by default has no PAE support, hence why 64-Bit would be a better choice | 17:16 |
| SynrG | the rEFIt web page refers me to rEFInd as the actively maintained fork. i guess we go with that and cross our fingers :/ | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Teddy5090: yes it does, thats why older systems have to mess around installing the mini ISO to get the non-PAE kernel | 17:16 |

| psusi | Joey__: see man shutdown | 17:39 |
| ice9 | SynrG: to be able to boot Ubuntu you need UEFI bootlader, so you have to let Grub create that loader by running: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/path/to/boot/dir --recheck /dev/sdX ; sdx where you installed Ubuntu, this will create a file called boot.efi or grub.efi in the --boot-directory , put his file directly under /boot; make sure you gurb grub.cfg pointing to the right location | 17:39 |
| Joey__ | psusi I did check, but I don't understand. Do I need to specify -h ? what is halt? | 17:40 |
| lord4163 | Joey__: you miss the -hp | 17:40 |
| irv | so to confirm, the grub-install during the ubuntu-server setup will install to sda | 17:40 |
| ice9 | SynrG: also you can check guide http://rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/ and I'm going to write a detailed paper on it | 17:40 |
| irv | there's no way i can install it to sdb from the setup? so i select 'no' then boot live USB and then manually install grub to sda? | 17:41 |
| irv | (once sda is my HD0 | 17:41 |
| irv | oh.. i selected 'no' and it gave me an option where to install it! | 17:41 |
| irv | wow worst UI :P | 17:41 |
| SynrG | ice9: which is great if we were talking about grub. but the disconnect for me is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2 claims to be correct instructions for our hardware. can you find some fault in it? | 17:41 |

| dragostini | Hi all. I installed ubuntu studio last night LTS 64bit, and I have no HDMI audio from my Radeon R7 260X. I'm using FGLRX, and pavucontrol is showing audio being played (activity bars are moving to the music) yet no sound comes out....any ideas? Played with alsamixer, pavucontrol, and added the radeon line to my grub...no dice. | 17:46 |
| SynrG | ice9: Step 3. "The MacBookAir4,2 has no CD/DVD drive, and cannot start Ubuntu from a USB stick created using the standard tools. However, a script is available that will create a suitable USB image ..." | 17:46 |
| ice9 | SynrG: so that script didn't work for you? | 17:46 |
| SynrG | ice9: using Debian sid to run this script produces a USB containing contents of the iso. the resulting USB is not bootable from rEFInd, no. | 17:47 |
| ice9 | SynrG: cool I got the solution for you, give me a min | 17:47 |

| ice9 | SynrG: format your usb flash drive as FAT32, creat a dir called EFI/boot , place the downloaded files called boot.efi under boot; place the ubuntu iso under boot and rename i as boot.iso; reboot your computer on the grey screen immediately press the options (alt) key and keep pressing till you see the boot menu, you will see the usb drive, then boot from it, that's it | 17:53 |

| SynrG | ice9: she's reasonably smart, but came to an impasse when it would just boot to the grub boot prompt | 17:55 |
| SynrG | ice9: the problems were twofold: one, she hadn't fetched the +mac version of the iso | 17:55 |
| SynrG | we fixed that | 17:55 |
| SynrG | and two was that she hadn't prepared a separate install media ... | 17:55 |

I'm using FGLRX, and pavucontrol is showing audio being played (activity bars are moving to the music) yet no sound comes out....any ideas? Played with alsamixer, pavucontrol, and added radeon.audio=1 to my kernel in my grub...no dice. | 18:04 |
| joshumax | dragostini: you using the tainted drivers? | 18:05 |
| sudormrf | hey guys. having an intersting issue. so I setup inotifywait to watch a folder. then I took a look at the folder and realized it wasn't what I wanted. so now I am trying to delete the folder but it says that the folder is in use. lsof doesn't show that anything is using it and I have tried to kill the script numerous times and it doesn't seem to want to die. any suggestions? | 18:05 |
| tmmunq | dragostini: try testing it with vlc, it lets you pick the audio device | 18:05 |
| dragostini | joshumax, I don't believe so. The updated FGLRX Driver from the Driver manager | 18:05 |
| OerHeks | sudormrf, remove that folder from inotify first | 18:06 |
| joshumax | FGLRX is the nonfree driver, right? | 18:06 |
| dragostini | tmmunq, the problem is that pavucontrol doesn't have "HDMI" in it's "Configuration" tab; but I can try it | 18:06 |

| ldsh | Hello, As I understood, the processor has a temperature limit and on some new one, a power consumption limit. I think My CPU is curently limited with a power consumption limit. Some testing under windows with intel extreme tuning utility shows that the default gives a max turbo short power consumption of 17W and a max turbo power consumption of 10W. I would like to change the general turbo power consumption to be 17W (as it only increase m | 19:21 |
| ldsh | y CPU temp to 75°C wich is way less thant the critical T_junction temp of 105°C and less than the "high" tmps set at 87°C) How can I do this under Ubuntu? | 19:21 |
| fishbrain | dragostini: have you edited your grub settings? try sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="radeon.audio=1" then do sudo update-grub | 19:21 |
| Bashing-om | MerlinRedbeard: I menat to use the desktop DVD as a means to trouble shoot the SERVER, and to gain access to the internet to relay information. | 19:21 |
| fishbrain | dragostini: after update-grub do a reboot | 19:22 |
| dragostini | fishbrain, already done | 19:22 |
| dragostini | been done this whole time :/ | 19:22 |
| MerlinRedbeard | Bashing-om: the dvd of ubuntu desktop? | 19:23 |
| Bashing-om | MerlinRedbeard: as you can not presently boot the server, we must find a means to install grub properly. | 19:23 |
| fishbrain | dragostini: :/ i think i can't help you any further, sorry :( i wish i could | 19:23 |
| MerlinRedbeard | Bashing-om: I can boot the server, it is up and running next to me. I have boot-repair on a dvd as well. That's all I have though | 19:24 |
| dragostini | fishbrain its okay, thanks. I'll be back, DR's appointment | 19:24 |
| dragostini | <3 | 19:24 |
| Bashing-om | MerlinRedbeard: the desktop edition is the live environment, a complete operating system that is not installed, but will allow us to access the install. Now others may have better advise - I know of no other means. | 19:24 |

| Rafajafar | when I run "lsof -ni :81" it says it's listening too | 20:15 |
| Rafajafar | what could be blocking port 81? | 20:15 |
| usr13 | Rafajafar: Why did you run an iptables rule to allow port 81? (Did you previously block it?) | 20:15 |

| pi- | How can I redirect incoming web traffic (says someone on the cloud points their browser to http://mysite) to localhost:8080? | 20:46 |
| usr13 | mekon: I think that is old instructions, now we edit; /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" and uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 20:49 |
| usr13 | pi-: Well, you could do it on your router | 20:49 |
| usr13 | pi-: (It depends on your network configuration and where you want to redirect the requests from.) | 20:50 |
| pi- | This is a VPS on Digital Ocean... | 20:50 |
| qin | pi-: ...and you have Ubuntu desktop? | 20:51 |
| pi- | No, it's Ubuntu server | 20:52 |
| dontaskcece | with a frequently disconnect (per ~5 min) , duplicity didn't works so well. I can only use rsync ,but no way to encryp | 20:52 |
| usr13 | pi-: Are you running apache2? | 20:52 |
| pi- | Currently no, just node.js to serve pages | 20:53 |
| usr13 | pi-: Well, I for one, am unclear as to what you want to do. You want to redirect *what* incoming traffic? | 20:54 |
| usr13 | pi-: Normally, if you want a server to listen on a particular port, you tell it to listen on that port. If port forwarding is done, it is done on the router that is in front of it. As far as a VPS, well I don't know what you do about it. | 20:55 |
| pi- | I think the problem is that Node.js has to run my script as root if it is to receive on Port < 1024 (specifically port 80) | 20:57 |
| pi- | So the proper way to do it is to run another process as root that forwards traffic to say Port 8080 | 20:57 |

| elbixo2 | Hi all | 22:14 |
| k1l_ | cutchyacokov: i dont think the LTS backport kernel will have non-PAE | 22:14 |
| kostkon | cutchyacokov, that's pae enabled | 22:14 |
| cutchyacokov | k1l_, kostkon: I don't see any in the list that say backports, do either of you know whioch one I should choose? or do I have to exit the installer and install the kernel manually? | 22:15 |
| windows | I use kubuntu 13.10 and after one week of using plasma panel starts to be crazy it slow down my laptop to the maximum its hard to move mouse any help ???? | 22:16 |
| k1l_ | cutchyacokov: the kernel you just named is from the enablement stack. that are backport kernels from the recent ubuntu releases to get newer kernels into the lts. | 22:16 |
| kostkon | cutchyacokov, i don't think the hwe kernels reside in backports. | 22:16 |
| k1l_ | cutchyacokov: go with the standard 12.04 kernel. | 22:16 |
| cutchyacokov | kostkon: Ah, I see an hwe option, is that the one without pae? | 22:17 |
| cutchyacokov | k1l_: Whwn I did the regular install it failed, that's why I'm trying the expert install | 22:17 |
| kostkon | cutchyacokov, no, the backported quantal kernel hwe is this -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:18 |
| wotan147 | I try to follow that tutorial about writing linux driver http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/drivers_linux but it fails at the very begining with "no rules to target modules" | 22:19 |
| wotan147 | any idea? | 22:19 |
| Jordan_U | wotan147: Using an almost decade old guide to try to write a kernel driver is going to give you many more problems than that. | 22:24 |
| TimRiker | argh... upgraded to ubuntu 13.10 and I can't seem to get apache 2.4 to select php files with multiviews. I drop phpinfo.php in /var/www and http://localhost/phpinfo.php works, but http://localhost/phpinfo does not. There is an index.html and http://localhost/ works, as does http://localhost/index.html and http://localhost/index | 22:24 |
| rosco_y | what are the default video drivers used with ubuntu 13.10? | 22:26 |
| wotan147 | Jordan_U do you know about a more up-to-date, ubuntu foccussed tutorial ? | 22:26 |
| rosco_y | I'm thinking of trying the native drivers for my NVIDIA card, but I want to be able to revert to these default drivers if it doesn't work out for me. | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | wotan147: What is your end goal? | 22:27 |

| pietro10 | Hi. Playing with the KVM with virt-manager; how do i get it to not capture my keyboard input when I move my mouse into the virtual screen? I use a screen magnifier and it's annoying when what I type doesn't go into the active program because the VM took the keyboard. Thanks. | 22:30 |
| wotan147 | Jordan_U The very end goal would be to make a very small and simple electornic device with arduino or something that for instance send Infra Red signals to Hifi System. I would build it, and then write a driver for linux to control it when it is hanged to the usb port. Then I would be able to write graphical application that uses the device | 22:30 |
| wotan147 | but right now, the goal would be only the learn the very basic of driver writing starting with the compilation chain. that is why I thought the guide was good | 22:31 |

| Jordan_U | wotan147: Try asking in ##kernel, after reading their channel's topic (which includes links to http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ among other things). You're not going to find anything particularly Ubuntu specific about writing a kernel module. | 22:34 |
| Jordan_U | wotan147: And it's always best to state your end goal first, for example after asking about your end goal in #kernel you may find that someone suggests an existing hardware interface you could make your Arduino use, that would be more reliable and easier to use than a completely home grown solution. | 22:35 |
| wotan147 | Jordan_U Allright, thank you. I will read this doc then | 22:36 |

| willwh | partition* | 23:25 |
| Dylan | Yea, been using Ubuntu for the last 3 years. | 23:25 |
| willwh | ok | 23:25 |
| Dylan | Although I'm not good enough at it to understand what you just said there. | 23:25 |
| usr13 | Dylan: So how much space to you have set aside for Ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| willwh | I would go 3/4 ext4, and 1/4 of the disk as ntfs | 23:26 |

| Dylan | Why not? | 23:26 |
| willwh | windows *likes* to have lots of disk space for swap | 23:26 |
| willwh | (10%) | 23:26 |
| tharkun | Dylan: Let windows pick its own partition. Then install ubuntu and tell grub to boot it first. Windows is picky about not beeing installed first | 23:26 |
| willwh | and it runs like mince without it | 23:26 |
| Dylan | Okay, then give it that 10%. | 23:26 |
| Dylan | That's what I meant. What's the minimum to give Windows, then? | 23:26 |

| Dylan | Exactly. | 23:30 |
| usr13 | gotcha | 23:30 |

| usr13 | Dylan: Well, you can do the auto partition thing and it will just make hda5 a big partition and install Ubuntu on it. | 23:31 |
| Dylan | How do I do that? | 23:32 |
| elbixo3 | can someone send me a notice? | 23:32 |
| usr13 | Dylan: But I usually use a gparted bootable CD and just set aside a certain amount of free (unpartitioned) space for the linux install. *(But that's just me...) | 23:32 |
| Dylan | usr13: You're talking slightly over my head here. | 23:33 |
| Dylan | usr13: My computer and Ubuntu knowledge it pretty patchwork. | 23:33 |
| elbixo3 | Dylan, usr13 send me a notice plz | 23:33 |
| mstrx | "What do I click where to do what I said I wanted to do." <-- :) | 23:33 |
| Dylan | elbixo3: I don't know how. | 23:33 |
| teward | elbixo3: try another channel for testing your IRC client please | 23:33 |
| Dylan | mstrx: Exactly. | 23:34 |
| usr13 | Dylan: When you get to the part where it asks about where to install, you will need to take over and shrink the largest one, (the Win7 main partition), shrink it small enough so that you have 300G + free. | 23:34 |
| mstrx | Dylan, problems? | 23:34 |
| Dylan | mstrx: usr13 is helpin' me out. | 23:34 |
| mstrx | k | 23:34 |
| Dylan | usr13: So I just leave all the other partitions alone? | 23:35 |
| usr13 | Dylan: Or you can boot into the "Try Ubuntu" option and bring up gparted, (the partition manager), and do it there and then you will also see an option to install. That may be easist. | 23:35 |
| mstrx | :D | 23:35 |
| usr13 | I gotta go | 23:35 |
| Dylan | usr13: And create ONE new partition for Ubuntu? | 23:35 |

I can also ssh to servers A & B from box 2. Both box 1 & box 2 are on the same network (as far as I can tell). I don't even know how to troubleshoot. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! | 23:36 |

| mstrx | omg, this channel is the shit! | 23:37 |
| compdoc | glad you like it | 23:37 |
| Dylan | usr13 just left me. Anyone else able to help me out with partitioning? | 23:37 |
| ck1989 | ooh what are we partitioning | 23:38 |
| mstrx | ladies | 23:38 |
| Dylan | The ladies will be partitioned AFTER the harddrive. | 23:38 |
| Beldar | Dylan, You have windows imaged/cloned if important? | 23:38 |
| Dylan | Beldar: I don't follow. What do you mean? | 23:39 |
| mstrx | vg | 23:39 |
| Beldar | Dylan, Image and clone are common terms. Can you replace what you have if it bricks? | 23:39 |
| VlanX | I have hard time finding a straight forward tutorial for disabling journaling on ext4... can anyone help me out? | 23:39 |
| Dylan | Beldar: I'm familiar with them but not enough to know exactly what you mean. Do you mean do I have things backed up? Yes. | 23:40 |

| Dylan | Beldar: I JUST reformatted my computer, so it's factory setting. | 23:40 |
| Beldar | Dylan, Cool, just a syntax thing. This must still be a uefi partition table and got right? | 23:41 |
| Beldar | uefi right* | 23:41 |
| Dylan | uefi? | 23:41 |
| Dylan | Okay, I'll explain my situation again to be clear: | 23:41 |
| Dylan | I had Ubuntu before, needed Windows, decided to reformat in order to dual boot both Windows 7 and Ubuntu; | 23:42 |
| Dylan | I've reformatted and got Win 7 working, now I want to dual boot Ubuntu and make sure I get the partitions cut up right. | 23:42 |
| Dylan | I want Ubuntu to be my main OS, with Windows having just enough partition to function (prob. 75 gigs). | 23:42 |
| Beldar | Dylan, That is all understandable. Does W7 show in ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | VlanX: Why do you want to disable journaling? | 23:43 |
| Dylan | Now I've got a 12.04 Boot Disk ready that works, and I wanted to come in and ask and make sure I do the partitions right. | 23:43 |
| Dylan | Beldar: There is no Ubuntu, yet. I haven't installed it. | 23:43 |
| mstrx | favorite vim 256 color terminal colorscheme? | 23:43 |
| VlanX | Jordan_U: I have an SSD, and I plan on running many VM's on it | 23:43 |
| Beldar | Dylan, Open gparted in the live enviroment see what the HD looks like there. | 23:43 |
| mstrx | molokai | 23:43 |
| VlanX | Jordan_U: so I'm afraid the IO might cripple my poor SSD | 23:44 |
| Dylan | Can you open that in Windows? And I wrote down what the partitions look like before. | 23:44 |
| Dylan | Do you want me to type them out? | 23:44 |
| Beldar | Dylan, Are you in the booted ubuntu disc/usb? | 23:44 |
| mici | Dylan: doesnt the install give a choice of installing ubuntu alongside windows and then give a slider where you can adjust partition sizes? | 23:44 |
| Dylan | No. I'm in Windows right now. | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | VlanX: SSD's do wear leveling, so the small writes from journaling are basically insignificant. | 23:44 |
| Dylan | mici: YES! Now I want to make sure I do it correctly so I don't screw anything up! | 23:45 |
| Beldar | Dylan, You need to be on the live cd/usb to confirm stuff. | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | VlanX: Why do you think disabling journaling will improve performance? | 23:45 |
| Dylan | Beldar: I was on the live cd, wrote down what I saw about the partitions, then rebooted back into Windows. | 23:45 |
| mici | Dylan: it cant go wrong it is just a slider :) unless you want more than just ubuntu+windows | 23:46 |
| Dylan | mici: Sure it can, if I don't give Windows enough space. | 23:46 |
| Beldar | Dylan, good way to mess up to be honest. Especially when I suspect you are still uefi. | 23:46 |
| VlanX | Jordan_U: it's for the first thing you said | 23:46 |
| Dylan | I saw 4 partitions. | 23:46 |
| SuperLag | VlanX: I have 3 SSDs in my ThinkPad W530. No extra config for them. I have 110+ VMs. I'm using it exactly like what you're describing. Journaling enabled. No issues. We're talking *heavy* usage. Typically 4 VMs simultaneously. Had this SSD for VMs for ~2 years. Absolutely no issues. | 23:47 |
| kc9iid | Dylan, dual boot ubuntu and win is easy, if you have the option during install to install ubuntu alongside win7 | 23:47 |
| Dylan | Two were Windows 7 (loader)'s, one a Windows Recovery Environment (loader), and one with no name. | 23:47 |
| Dylan | kc9iid: If it were easy I'd be done by now. | 23:47 |
| kc9iid | Dylan, have you tried to install ubuntu from the live cd yet? | 23:48 |
| SuperLag | VlanX: I mention all that to say... listen to Jordan_U. He's right. Also, I have practical experience doing what you're planning on. It works. | 23:48 |
| Dylan | kc9iid: You're going to be about the 7th person I've explained this to in the last 15 minutes. | 23:48 |
| VlanX | SuperLag: 110 VM's?? holy shit | 23:48 |
| VlanX | well if you say so I'll trust you | 23:48 |
| VlanX | thanks for sharing your experience | 23:49 |
| SuperLag | VlanX: it's a 960GB SSD. | 23:49 |
| Jordan_U | VlanX: http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/ | 23:49 |
| SynrG | curse you, broadcom. | 23:49 |
| SuperLag | VlanX: Not all of them are full clones, many are linked. I'm using VMware Workstation 10. | 23:49 |
| Dylan | I'm sorry I'm getting impatient, but I feel like everyone is talking to me here long enough to make me think I'm going to get some help then someone else starts talking to me and I have to start over. | 23:49 |
| mici | dylan: windows makes two and i bet the other two are recovery partitions. when ubuntu install comes uo with the slider just slide it so that you are happy with windowa partion size. you dont need to manually shrink the windows partiyion because the installer does it for you | 23:49 |
| SynrG | i have a 12.04+mac image, boots fine from USB on this MacBook Air, connect to my wireless network, then start the installer, and bam, kernel oopses in the wl driver, connection is lost and the install hangs forever.\ | 23:50 |
| VlanX | Jordan_U: Interesting piece of parer aswell. Thanks for the share! | 23:50 |
| mici | sorry for wonky txt im on phone | 23:50 |
| Dylan | mici: No problem. | 23:50 |
| kc9iid | Dylan, well ere it is. If you see a slider after choosing to install ubuntu alongside win7, the you can move it to adjust win7/ubuntu partition size, then installer will do everything else for you. | 23:50 |
| Dylan | kc9iid and mici: Okay, great thanks. I'm going to go try it out and see what happens. | 23:50 |
| Dylan | If I'm back in a minute you'll know it didn't work. | 23:51 |
| SynrG | if i boot the live image, quickly disable wireless ... blacklist wl, add brcmsmac to /etc/modules, and re-enable wireless ... the wl module seems to be loaded anyway :/ | 23:51 |
| kc9iid | as long as you don't got past this screen, you can always quit/back up to stop install | 23:51 |
| Dylan | A'ight, I'm going in. | 23:51 |
| kc9iid | without changing anything | 23:51 |
| Jordan_U | VlanX: You're welcome. | 23:52 |
| SynrG | no, wait. when i re-enable wireless after blacklisting wl, brcmsmac is indeed loaded. | 23:53 |
| SynrG | somehow in my last attempt, in spite of the blacklist, wl *was* loaded and oopsed in the same place. not sure i understand where i misstepped | 23:54 |
| SynrG | ahhh, here it is again. | 23:55 |
| SynrG | does the installer *force* wl to be loaded, even though it is blacklisted in the live system? | 23:55 |
| SynrG | that's so braindead. | 23:55 |
| SynrG | that is in fact what it looks like from dmesg. | 23:56 |
| SynrG | ERROR @wl_notify_scan_status : eth0 Scan_results error (-22) | 23:56 |
| SynrG | BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ... etc. | 23:56 |
| yeats | SynrG: the installer knows nothing about the configuration on the live system | 23:57 |
| SynrG | yeats: yeah. is it running a separate kernel using uml or so? | 23:58 |
| SynrG | yeats: anyway. how do i convince the installer to not use wl, since it is blocking me from going any further? | 23:59 |
| SynrG | i have to hand the laptop back to its owner who is being picked up and driven home in 5 minutes too :/ | 23:59 |
| yeats | SynrG: I usually just plug in via ethernet when I'm dealing with a broadcom card (during installation) | 23:59 |
