| daftykins | charco: did you enable the option ROM in BIOS? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| charco | daftykins, option rom? I have a SATA Configuration >> SATA Mode Selection >> RAID | 00:03 |
| charco | daftykins, my disk came with a raid0 setup but I messed up :( | 00:03 |
| ejuan | charco, whats your motherboard model number | 00:03 |
| charco | ejuan, it's a notebook (ux301LA) how can I check? | 00:04 |
| daftykins | sounds like a fakeraid | 00:04 |
| daftykins | either way you'd want to put Windows on first, naturally | 00:04 |
| daftykins | is it one of those silly 2 x SSD's ones? | 00:05 |
| charco | Yep | 00:05 |
| charco | daftykins, all the tutorials said otherwise :/ | 00:05 |
| charco | like "first setup linux and then windows" | 00:05 |
| charco | create the raid from linux and then install windows | 00:05 |
| charco | I used mdadm to create the raid, but in some tutorials it used the raid only for some partitions, I'd rather have the whole disks in raid. | 00:06 |
| daftykins | lol RAID inside Linux, how cute | 00:06 |
| daftykins | charco: nope that's an incredibly terrible idea | 00:06 |
| daftykins | are they small SSDs so you want to RAID to pool the capacity? | 00:06 |
| charco | daftykins, exactly | 00:07 |
| ejuan | charco, your probably better off just installing ubuntu on one disk and windows on the other | 00:07 |
| pdo_fn14 | RobDude: I'm still beginner user, would you classified clearly about fstab?. I'm still confused about "<file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>" in fstab file? | 00:07 |
| ron__ | Hi, I was wondering if there was a system wide audio equalizer for Ubuntu 14.04. I did try PulseAudio Equalizer, added the PPA however when trying to install it I got a error saying package could not be found. | 00:08 |
| daftykins | install Windows, load up a LiveCD, do things to support RAID until you see one disk instead of two - install, done \o/ | 00:08 |
| daftykins | !trusty | ron__ | 00:08 |
| ubottu | ron__: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 | 00:08 |
| ron__ | !trusty | 00:09 |
| charco | ejuan, I don't want to have that much space to linux. Also, I thought that there was also a performance improvement in having raid0 :P | 00:09 |
| daftykins | ron__: see the other channel mentioned? ask in there. | 00:09 |
| ron__ | I am sorry. I'm so new to all of this. Especially iRc. | 00:09 |
| * daftykins unloads the spud gun | 00:10 | |
| daftykins | ok - this time. | 00:10 |
| ron__ | I am attempting to transition from Windows and use Ubuntu as my daily driver. I apologize for the ignorance. | 00:10 |
| charco | daftykins, so I can just install windows in one partition from one disk and then configure linux to understand that as a raid? | 00:10 |
| RobDude | pdo_fn14: No problem - check out this link - https://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/03/08/howto-mounting-without-sudo/ - the fstab file is your 'file system table' and it will mount partitions on startup (at least, that's my understanding) - but that blog has an example. | 00:10 |
| charco | (sorry, I don't understand :( ) | 00:10 |
| daftykins | charco: ok so you had the controller option set to RAID, have you since tried to power off fully then cold boot to see if you get the (presumably intel) RAID config screen? to configure RAID 0 | 00:11 |
| daftykins | charco: it may even be hidden on that laptop so just pressing the key combo repeatedly after power on might get somewhere | 00:12 |
| charco | I have disabled EFI because it would go directly to BIOS after booting, I'm trying with the legacy mode to see if I can get anywhere | 00:12 |
| daftykins | charco: it would appear the Asus' BIOS automatically sets up RAID 0 - so if you booted a windows install disc now, it would likely see the combined volume of both SSDs as one disk - you're going to need to check that | 00:13 |
| ron__ | You were talking about the #ubuntu+1 channel correct? | 00:14 |
| charco | daftykins, ok, I will try that.. I have to burn the iso to a usb | 00:14 |
| charco | Thank you :) | 00:14 |
| daftykins | ron__: yes, join it | 00:14 |
| charco | I don't really care about windows, I need to have it installed somewhere haha, I don't even care if it is not in the raid | 00:14 |
| ron__ | okay I am there. not much activity. I will hang out for a response. thanks | 00:14 |
| daftykins | charco: well... you don't have any other storage | 00:15 |
| daftykins | charco: a RAID setup is done to the entirity of both SSDs - it's not something you pick and choose for partitions (you can, but it's just plain stupid) | 00:15 |
| charco | daftykins, yeah, I thought so, but in the ubuntu tutorial they create it in individual partitions :/ | 00:16 |
| mikodo | Hey, Quick question: if correct path to a device partition is /dev/sda12 and I want to use the UUID for transfer of data to that partition, would it be /dev/UUID ? | 00:16 |
| The_Woodsman | does anyone know of a program that can take in a text file full of grayscale values and display an image? | 00:16 |
| charco | Ok.. I have to get a windows computer in order to create the usb installer for windows. Fuck you windows. | 00:16 |
| daftykins | charco: sounds like you're just following a guide for the wrong thing | 00:16 |

| daftykins | charco: please don't use rudes here! :) | 00:17 |
| charco | sorry :P | 00:17 |
| daftykins | mikodo: run "sudo blkid" to get UUIDs | 00:17 |
| daftykins | mikodo: may not even need sudo | 00:17 |
| charco | this is the one I read that used partitions for the raid http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 | 00:17 |
| daftykins | oh wait i may've jumped the gun | 00:17 |
| mikodo | daftykins, I have used blkid, I just want to write out the command correctly | 00:17 |
| daftykins | mikodo: how many times are you going to perform this copy? :) | 00:18 |
| mikodo | daftykins, not much for this, | 00:19 |
| mikodo | daftykins, when I make a symblink to my /mnt then should I definately use the UUID? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | mikodo: if you're mounting this device permanently then you'd have it in /etc/fstab | 00:21 |
| daftykins | i don't understand what you're struggling with i'm afraid :) | 00:21 |
| mikodo | daftykins, correct with fstab, but should i use the UUID | 00:21 |
| daftykins | sure | 00:21 |
| the8thbit | I want to make a file executable ONLY by the root user. chmod +x makes it executable, but how do I restrict it to root? | 00:22 |
| daftykins | you realise why the choice right? | 00:22 |
| mikodo | daftykins, incase things change? | 00:22 |
| daftykins | UUIDs are to preserve mounts even if disk numbering change due to unplugging / replugging | 00:22 |
| daftykins | so if you see that happening - UUIDs, if not, partitions | 00:22 |
| mikodo | daftykins, Thanks buddy! over and out! | 00:22 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 00:23 |
| teward | the8thbit, use numeric chmod | 00:23 |
| === gonyere_ is now known as gonyere | ||
| RobDude | the8thbit: I think you'll want to use the 'octal' form. I think it would be chmod 100 if root is the file owner - but I'm a n0ob | 00:24 |
| teward | the8thbit, what do you want the file restricted to? root only? then do: `chown root:root /path/to/file` and `chmod 700` | 00:24 |
| RobDude | er sorry - nevermind | 00:24 |
| teward | the8thbit, no other users will be able to see it then. | 00:24 |
| RobDude | I don't know what I'm talking about - sorry | 00:24 |
| daftykins | *600 would suffice | 00:24 |
| teward | daftykins, 600 adds the +x bit? | 00:24 |
| teward | they want read/write/execute for root only | 00:25 |
| the8thbit | teward: What do you mean by 'see'? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | sec lemme wind the handle on my brain a bit more | 00:25 |
| teward | the8thbit, by "see" i mean that users won't be able to access the specific file | 00:25 |
| the8thbit | ah okay | 00:25 |
| the8thbit | thanks | 00:25 |
| teward | daftykins, 600 is read/write, but i thought 700 was read/write/exec | 00:25 |
| teward | daftykins, (for file owner) | 00:25 |
| the8thbit | teward: I don't understand the root:root notation | 00:26 |
| daftykins | ah actually 500 i'm thinking | 00:26 |
| teward | the8thbit, it just changes the owner so that only root owns the file | 00:26 |
| daftykins | r,,x = 4 + 1 = 5 | 00:26 |
| teward | the8thbit, in the off-chance that `root` doesn't already own the file | 00:26 |
| teward | daftykins, ahhh, right, read/execute would be sufficient. 700 if they want to also be able to edit, but I forgot that for a minute | 00:26 |
| the8thbit | teward: Yes, but why do you put 'root:root' instead of just 'root'? Sorry, trying to understand the syntax so I can understand chmod more generally rather than just the one command | 00:27 |
| daftykins | teward: :) i don't know if any quirks would come up without write though, guess it depends on the file | 00:27 |
| daftykins | the8thbit: user:group | 00:27 |
| the8thbit | ah, okay | 00:27 |
| teward | the8thbit, because there is a 'root' group as well. user:group is the notation. | 00:27 |
| the8thbit | thanks dafty | 00:27 |
| teward | the8thbit, root:root = root user and root group | 00:27 |
| the8thbit | thanks teward | 00:27 |
| daftykins | the8thbit: although interestingly if both are to be the same, one need only write "user:" | 00:27 |
| teward | ^ | 00:27 |
| teward | daftykins, although i love the verbosity of defining it by hand :) | 00:27 |
| teward | (like root:root) | 00:28 |
| daftykins | :) | 00:28 |
| daftykins | no harm in being sure! | 00:28 |
| teward | truth | 00:28 |
| the8thbit | so if I already issued chmod +x then currently the file is executable by everyone? Does doing chmod root:root 700 restrict it to root, or does it just add root as having permissions? | 00:28 |
| teward | the8thbit, 700 restricts it to root | 00:29 |
| the8thbit | okay, thanks! | 00:29 |
| teward | the8thbit, assuming you also change the file's owners like i said in the first of the 2 commands, so that only root owns it. | 00:29 |
| teward | the8thbit, you could also, probably, use 500 instead of 700, which is read and execute, but i said 700 in case you want root to also be able to modify the file. daftykins is right that 500 (instead of 700) should also be sufficient for what you need. | 00:30 |
| the8thbit | ohh, they're two different commands | 00:31 |
| daftykins | the8thbit: as you run commands, keep confirming the changes by watching "ls -l" in the folder the file's in - you'll be able to see how things are and how they change | 00:31 |
| the8thbit | Yeah, 700 is better for me | 00:31 |
| RobDude | This might be a stupid question but - for things like chmod - they are all the same in all the distros, right? | 00:32 |
| the8thbit | thanks, ls -l helped | 00:33 |
| teward | RobDude, some things aren't different between distros (like chmod) but you can't be certain of that for all distros | 00:33 |
| RobDude | teward: Thanks. | 00:37 |
| RobDude | But if I get the source code for the ubuntu distro from git - it'd be included in there, right? | 00:38 |
| RobDude | Or is it just the kernel | 00:38 |
| daftykins | 'source code for a distro' heh | 00:40 |
| RobDude | daftykins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/SourceCode | 00:40 |
| daftykins | RobDude: every single package that makes it up, plus the kernel source maybe ;) | 00:40 |
| daftykins | RobDude: i do not need to be taught what kernel source code is my good man | 00:40 |

| cidiacctec12 | mi estimado, disculpa xciakso sabras como crear puertos virtuales | 02:08 |
| cidiacctec12 | COM (SERIAL) | 02:08 |
| charco | he wants to create virtual ports (COM). What are that? | 02:08 |
| charco | (I'm translating cidiacctec12 ) | 02:08 |
| cidiacctec12 | i need create ports virtual for a projet | 02:09 |
| daftykins | pass | 02:09 |
| cidiacctec12 | thank for all, i need to go out | 02:10 |
| charco | daftykins, So what should I do? I don't know how to configure my raid :/ | 02:10 |
| cidiacctec12 | see you later! | 02:10 |
| cidiacctec12 | thank | 02:10 |

| daftykins | charco: how big are each SSD? | 02:12 |
| charco | daftykins, 128GB | 02:12 |
| charco | But I don't want to havemore than 80GB for windows | 02:12 |
| daftykins | here's your solution then | 02:12 |
| daftykins | leave it as two drives, partition 80GB of one SSD for windows, then install ubuntu's / partition to the 20GB remaining but its' /home to the full size of the second SSD | 02:13 |
| charco | but I think that the idea of having raid 0 was to have a performance gain | 02:14 |
| daftykins | with SSDs it's a complete joke | 02:14 |
| daftykins | they're going to be fast no matter what | 02:14 |
| charco | but I want to see if there's an speedup or a difference or something | 02:15 |

| noobey | I have so ubuntu on my desktop and windows xp on a laptop...what would i use to connect these two together...like a remote controlled | 02:54 |
| charco | Ok I will go back to my previous attempt. Install only linux with raid0 and mdadm | 02:54 |
| daftykins | charco: i'm serious in saying RAID is a waste of time on two SSDs | 02:55 |
| SchrodingersScat | !ssh | noobey | 02:55 |
| ubottu | noobey: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 02:55 |
| charco | daftykins, but that was how the computer came preinstalled | 02:55 |
| charco | How come can't I get the same configuration? | 02:55 |
| daftykins | yeah, silly marketing ideas | 02:55 |
| noobey | uh what | 02:55 |
| daftykins | i'm not sure, i found nothing from google about creating/editing the RAID config | 02:55 |
| OerHeks | noobey SSH, VNC, Telnet | 02:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: you could ssh from the laptop to the desktop, control the desktop from there | 02:56 |
| noobey | OerHeks, So the windows machine would use what? and the linux machine would use what? | 02:56 |
| noobey | OerHeks, Because if I use Putty, it says "Connection Refused" | 02:57 |
| tracyone | sudo putty | 02:58 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: do you have the openssh-server installed on the desktop? if so, are you using the correct credentials? | 02:58 |
| noobey | no I don't have openssh-server installed. | 02:58 |
| noobey | how is that obtained? | 02:58 |
| noobey | sudo get? | 02:58 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 02:59 |

| TheCTS | I'm not sure where it's located on Ubuntu | 03:02 |
| TheCTS | Hold on | 03:02 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, Okay I used sudo apt-get ... it installed it, but now I have no clue how to open it or where it went | 03:02 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: it should be running now, try putty from the windows machine now. | 03:02 |
| TheCTS | I think it's /etc/networks | 03:03 |
| barrett | interfaces? | 03:03 |
| TheCTS | Yeah | 03:03 |
| FIriuz | Xcuse me, where store stock icon to be called on .desktop file without path and extension? | 03:04 |
| barrett | inside /etc/network/interfaces is two lines "auto lo","iface lo inet loopback" any suggestions on how to modify it? | 03:04 |
| TheCTS | That's all that is inside of it? | 03:04 |
| OerHeks | noobey read back the url ubottu gave you what to do with ssh, it is more than just install it and run | 03:04 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat: Is it an issue that these 2 computers are on the same wi-fi network? | 03:05 |
| barrett | yes, my network devices are eth0, lo, and wlan0 | 03:05 |

| barrett | ok thanks | 03:06 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: if you can reach port 22 on the machine then you should be good. | 03:06 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat: ok. | 03:07 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, Okay, it connected. It asked me for a login and password though. not sure what it wants there. | 03:08 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, I never got to see any settings for that. | 03:09 |
| MavBlue | probably whatever you use to login to the machine | 03:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: any valid user/pass that you normally use on the machine | 03:09 |
| noobey | Ubuntu boots without a login.. | 03:09 |
| noobey | never required one.. | 03:09 |
| noobey | maybe i have to create a user | 03:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: what do you enter when you sudo? | 03:09 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, I enter the root password | 03:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | !root | noobey | 03:10 |
| ubottu | noobey: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:10 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, I used the root password...and it won't let me connect using that. | 03:10 |
| noobey | there is no root password? | 03:10 |
| noobey | odd..i have one. | 03:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: got me there, wouldn't the account still have a password? Despite the auto-login. | 03:11 |
| noobey | yea it does that.. | 03:11 |
| noobey | but that password wont allow putty to connect | 03:11 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, Okay I got it. | 03:14 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, Putty is not very user friendly I see. I was hoping for something where I could look at the actual desktop. | 03:15 |
| noobey | SchrodingersScat, I am going to have to use commands with Putty. | 03:15 |
| SchrodingersScat | !vnc | noobey | 03:15 |
| ubottu | noobey: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:15 |
| SchrodingersScat | noobey: that link has a 'vnc software' section that might be what you want | 03:17 |

| Xeddy1 | Beryl All the basic stuff works great, like Dynamic Power Management, suspend, HDMI audio, multi-monitor, and you can play most older games (3+ years) but of course it depends on your needs, like how much of a hardcore gamer you are | 03:59 |
| Beryl | Xeddy1: well i run skyrim in wine... which strangely works better on fglrx than nvidia due to a variety of bugs | 04:00 |

| AndrewRyan | I've been trying to install Xubuntu from an ISO that i've burned to a disk but when I attempt to boot off the disk I freeze at a black screen. I've tried nomodeset but that throws a get_identity error. Any advice? | 06:03 |
| Beldar | AndrewRyan, Have you checked the ISO's sum? Burned as an image? | 06:04 |
| AndrewRyan | I have checked the sum and it matches | 06:04 |
| AndrewRyan | I can get to the screen which lets you choose between "try without installing" or installing options | 06:05 |
| AndrewRyan | anything after that however, is just a blank screen. | 06:06 |
| === VoidWhisperer is now known as Guest72991 | ||
| Beldar | AndrewRyan, Assuming the disc is bootable, I would check the hardware against xubuntu on askubuntu and the web. In that f6 prompt for nomodeset are other options. | 06:08 |
| AndrewRyan | I installed the OS onto vmware player to ensure it worked, and it was flawless there | 06:10 |
| AndrewRyan | I will check the website though, thank you | 06:10 |

| gooses89 | Hey guys, anyone know if do-release-upgrade will cause an issue for a VPS? | 07:51 |
| sway | Gooses89, no idea, sorry. | 07:53 |
| gooses89 | np man | 07:53 |
| gooses89 | There are a lot of people in here, figured there would be more chatter | 07:53 |
| rww | gooses89: run it inside of screen | 07:54 |
| rww | e.g. screen do-release-upgrade | 07:54 |
| rww | that way if it drops connection halfway through you can ssh back in, or use your out-of-band console to screen -r | 07:54 |
| gooses89 | Safer than doing it through ssh? | 07:54 |
| rww | you'd ssh in, then run screen do-release-upgrade | 07:55 |
| gooses89 | yeah I realized it'd be in SSH anyway after I said that haha | 07:55 |
| rww | :) | 07:55 |
| gooses89 | Never used screen before, what's screen do anyway? | 07:55 |
| rww | (just realized, it might not be installed by default. the package name is also screen) | 07:56 |
| rww | gooses89: a bunch of things, but the feature we're interested in is that you can run stuff inside it, then detach it, disconnect from ssh (or whatever), then later attach again | 07:56 |
| gooses89 | ah. alright. | 07:57 |
| gooses89 | Similar to tmux? | 07:57 |
| rww | oh, if you're familiar with tmux use that instead :) | 07:57 |
| rww | (yes, very similar) | 07:57 |
| gooses89 | I have briefly used tmux | 07:57 |
| gooses89 | been playing with linux for about three weeks | 07:58 |
| gooses89 | Friend used it so we could see the same thing. | 07:58 |
| gooses89 | Thinking about switching VPS providers, I'm on 12.04 and the new provider offers 10.04 10.10 11.04 11.10, thinking of selecting 10.04, doing a do-release-upgrade (As since they are LTS it should go right to 12.04 right?) then do a full rsync. | 08:00 |
| sway | I seem to re-install ubuntu 12.04 weekly. | 08:01 |
| sway | It's so bad, I actually wrote a script to re-install all my software automaticly. | 08:03 |
| gooses89 | Heh. | 08:03 |
| gooses89 | Glad I dont have to deal with that. | 08:03 |

| kartikey | here is the detail | 08:04 |
| kartikey | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2211265 | 08:04 |
| sway | kartikey, what kind of problem? | 08:04 |
| kartikey | i'm having troblem in partition | 08:05 |
| kartikey | I have been trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on my system along with windows 7. | 08:05 |
| kartikey | In windows , I have a C drive(in which windows is installed) of 48.73 GB, a D drive of 283.42 GB and a H drive of 49.62 GB. i also have 2 unallocated space one of 101 MB and other one of 83.89 GB(in which I want to install Ubuntu 13.10). | 08:05 |
| kartikey | When I install Ubuntu and select "something else" option in installation type the partition editor shows partitions sda1 of 105 MB (windows loader), sda2 of 52 GB and sda3 of 442 GB. I'm totally confused what is happening. | 08:05 |
| sway | Let me guess, are you trying to install it with windows? | 08:05 |
| jasabella | sway, i just installed it on a P4 3GHz prescott machine :) | 08:05 |
| kartikey | My total HDD space is 500 GB though some of it is unavailable. | 08:05 |
| kartikey | yes | 08:05 |
| sway | What version of windows do you have installed? | 08:06 |
| kartikey | a dual boot and i have some data on 2 seperate partitions which ubuntu shows as 1 | 08:06 |

| kartikey | hey :) | 08:09 |
| AndChat470801 | Think I've made a school boy error upgrading to 14.10... | 08:10 |
| sway | typically windows has a small partition for it's boot, and a hidden partition containing it's recovery OS. | 08:10 |
| kartikey | okay that 101 mb i suppose | 08:10 |
| AndChat470801 | I've lost my UI and desktop 😀 | 08:10 |
| mahendra | I recently installa Pinguy OS, when i m going to update it through terminal given error comes | 08:10 |
| mahendra | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 08:10 |
| mahendra | E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ | 08:10 |

| mahendra | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 08:10 |
| kartikey | @AndChat470801 which distro? | 08:11 |
| AndChat470801 | Ubuntu, was 13.10 | 08:11 |
| spark_ | hi all i got an error when i launch firefox ... it also affect all browser i tyed so far here is the error GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed | 08:11 |
| Kungr | Kartikey: I would not dual boot unless you want to rebuild your windows boot file from dos | 08:12 |
| kartikey | kungr: i didn't understand | 08:12 |
| sway | Well the lock issue just means another package program is currently using it, or may have terminated with out removing the locks. | 08:12 |
| Kungr | i would recommend doing a real dual boot within the bios option | 08:12 |
| kartikey | can you explain | 08:12 |
| kartikey | will it result in a data loss | 08:13 |
| kartikey | what will be the steps?? | 08:13 |
| Kungr | well linux grub encorporates the windows boot. | 08:13 |
| Kungr | if you eventually delete your ubuntu install you will loose your windows boot file and have to do a dos repair | 08:14 |
| kartikey | oh I tried to install ubuntu 13.10 2 months back and then it encorporated windows boot loader i reinstalled a new windows and recovered it | 08:14 |
| sway | I've had problems with dual boots with windows.... destroyed both operating systems. | 08:14 |
| ikonia | Kungr: what are you on about a "dos repair" ?? | 08:14 |
| ikonia | DOS is dead | 08:14 |
| kartikey | i think its cmd, is it??? | 08:14 |
| Kungr | just my lesson learned was if you have two harddrives dual boot through the motherboard bios and not sided by side install | 08:14 |
| ikonia | Kungr: thats just weak advice | 08:15 |
| ikonia | kartikey: you seem to understand the implications of using the recovery shell to put the windows boot loader back on the mbr | 08:15 |
| Kungr | well not articulate i agree | 08:15 |
| sway | I recommend seperate hard drives for windows, and ubuntu. but put the boot loader on the drive the bios will be booting from (typ. /dev/sda) | 08:16 |
| Kungr | yes cmd | 08:16 |
| kartikey | okay so what should i do now??? | 08:16 |
| kartikey | i want a dual boot | 08:16 |
| ikonia | sway: again - just random blind advice | 08:16 |
| Kungr | I agree with sway if your a noob | 08:16 |
| ikonia | kartikey: however you feel comfortable that uses your hardware best | 08:16 |
| ikonia | Kungr: stop it - stop giving bad blind advice | 08:16 |
| ikonia | and your new to ubuntu status has nothing to do with 1 or 2 disks | 08:16 |
| kartikey | please i'm not understanding anything :( | 08:17 |
| sway | Kungr, I've worked with some bad systems. it always seems to give the best results. | 08:17 |
| Kungr | i don't think it is blind because i've made the dumb mistake | 08:17 |
| ikonia | not to be pushed on everyone | 08:17 |
| ikonia | Kungr: that's YOUR problem then | 08:17 |
| kartikey | ??? | 08:18 |
| Kungr | may not mater kartikey may only have 1 drive | 08:18 |
| sway | Kartikey, the Ubuntuforums generally have solved issues like yours, I would suggest combing them for answers. | 08:18 |
| Kungr | matter | 08:19 |
| kartikey | combing??? | 08:19 |

| ktosiek | judekn0x: sudo shutdown -h now | 08:55 |
| Slart | Polaris: are you installing xorg from the repos or you've compiled your own? | 08:56 |
| Ben64 | judekn0x: do NOT ever paste that many lines in irc ever, ever. | 08:56 |
| Polaris | Compiling it I believe | 08:56 |
| ktosiek | if you don't know what it is, why would you remove it? | 08:56 |
| Polaris | Is there another way? | 08:56 |
| Slart | tozen: easy on the insults.. no need for it | 08:56 |
| Slart | Polaris: sudo apt-get install xorg should work | 08:56 |
| Polaris | I thought I tried that, but I'll try again. | 08:56 |
| dmitriyubuntu | why its names SUDO | 08:57 |
| Ben64 | Polaris: are you actually on ubuntu? theres no reason to compile xorg on ubuntu | 08:57 |
| Polaris | Yes. | 08:57 |
| llutz | judekn0x: sudo apt-get remove watchdog http://linux.die.net/man/8/watchdog | 08:57 |
| mordof | judekn0x: the take-away from that is, if you have a question where you need to display a bunch of information to ask... please use a pastebin service (apaste.info) and then provide us with a link that contains the information | 08:57 |
| Slart | dmitriyubuntu: su is short for switch user, it lets you run stuff as another user, most of the time it's the root user.. sudo is to just run one command as another user | 08:57 |
| Polaris | Slart, I just ran ./configure in another directory, which is ultimately what I'm trying to get to work, but I get this: | 08:59 |
| Polaris | checking for XORG... no configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.7.0 xproto xext kbproto inputproto randrproto) were not met: No package 'xorg-server' found No package 'xext' found No package 'randrproto' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. | 08:59 |
| judekn0x | err | 09:00 |
| Ben64 | Polaris: we can't really help you with compiling stuff in this channel, you're pretty much on your own if you insist on going down that path | 09:00 |
| judekn0x | ok will do | 09:00 |
| Ben64 | judekn0x: seriously, 111 lines is not ok to spam a channel with | 09:00 |
| judekn0x | so i want that process to dissappear | 09:00 |
| judekn0x | 111 lines | 09:01 |
| judekn0x | i didnt count them | 09:01 |
| Ben64 | protip: if its more than one line, use a pastebin | 09:01 |
| tozen | judekn0x: yes, pal u've pissed off people here, sorry | 09:01 |
| judekn0x | i didnt know there were suppose to piss off people | 09:02 |

| Ben64 | judekn0x: there are 1427 people in here | 09:02 |
| judekn0x | didnt count | 09:02 |
| judekn0x | sorry | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | Ben64, desire: 1, required skills: 0 | 09:02 |
| Ben64 | that seems like a theme with you | 09:02 |
| Ben64 | think before acting next time | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | judekn0x, the thing to do is paste up your output and re-submit the question. | 09:02 |
| Ben64 | its a silly question that has already been answered anyway | 09:03 |
| Polaris | Heh, after all this time of learning how to compile myself, Slart, I failed to realize I could just install git and download the package directly instead of compiling | 09:03 |
| Polaris | Hoping this works. Thanks regardless. | 09:03 |
| judekn0x | ok brb | 09:03 |
| judekn0x | doin that next | 09:03 |
| Ben64 | Polaris: uh, git is not the correct way of installing stuff on ubuntu either. use apt-get | 09:04 |
| tozen | Polaris: if you don't know to how to compile so there is readme file in the archive located | 09:04 |
| gooses89 | Hey guys, I'm doing a release upgrade and I got this screen http://puu.sh/7xiTH.png Any idea what info I need to put in? If anything | 09:05 |
| Polaris | The problem is I have no idea where else to get this particular package, Ben64 | 09:06 |
| Polaris | It's a Wacom tablet driver | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | Polaris: xorg is not a tablet driver... | 09:07 |
| Polaris | Well no | 09:07 |
| mici | gooses89 nothing to put there unless you want to use ipv6 | 09:07 |
| cfhowlett | Polaris, wacom HAS a linux driver! | 09:07 |
| Polaris | But the tablet driver says that it needs Xorg | 09:07 |
| Polaris | The tablet light comes on but the settings for it do not recogonize it. | 09:07 |
| Polaris | @cfhowlett | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | and xorg is the whole graphical interface server thingy, so if you have gui, you already have xorg | 09:07 |
| Slart | Polaris: oh.. hope that works for you. Good luck | 09:08 |
| Polaris | I may have Xorg, Ben64, but I think what's going on is the tablet driver doesn't know where Xorg is located or something? | 09:09 |
| Polaris | I'm not sure, in all honesty. | 09:09 |
| judekn0x | http://pastebin.com/3b3evWae | 09:10 |
| Ben64 | Polaris: i believe you're looking in the wrong direction on all this | 09:10 |
| Polaris | It would not surprise me. | 09:10 |
| judekn0x | please tell me what that is im using ubuntu | 09:10 |
| Polaris | All I have to work with is the fact that the tablet registers when I run lsusb, but does not work regardless. | 09:11 |
| Ben64 | Polaris: try looking for some guide for [your model tablet] and [your version ubuntu] | 09:11 |

| Toxmi | how can I add a manpage (TexLive) to the manpath? simply edition bash profils (MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/...:$MANPATH; export MANPATH) doesn't work | 09:23 |
| mici | UGH | 09:23 |
| Toxmi | Do I have to edit /etc/man_db.conf? | 09:23 |
| bekks | Toxmi: That works fine (settings the MANPATH), you have to source the profile again after doing it. | 09:23 |
| Toxmi | bekks: I've done it but it says there is no such command: manpath | 09:24 |
| bekks | Toxmi: Because that isnt a command. | 09:24 |
| Toxmi | I've tried export $MANPAH also with or without parantesis | 09:24 |
| bekks | In the bash profile, you set: MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/texlive/... and afterwards you run: ". ~/.bash_profile" | 09:25 |
| cfhowlett | lol | 09:25 |
| Toxmi | bekks: so I don't need to add ;export after path? | 09:25 |
| Toxmi | manpath=$manpath/......; export manpath | 09:26 |
| Toxmi | bekks: Ok, Thanks I'll try that | 09:26 |
| llutz | Toxmi: /etc/manpath.config | 09:26 |
| bekks | Toxmi: manpath is different from MANPATH -- and you have to export the variable you set, yes. | 09:26 |

| ubottu | judekn0x,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:34 |

| judekn0x | \i dont know | 09:35 |

| bekks | mici: Thats exactly how NOT to sudo. Either use sudo -i or sudo -s | 09:36 |

| mici | bekks i know i was just trying to be ironic | 09:36 |
| judekn0x | Unknown id: sudo | 09:36 |
| judekn0x | Unknown id: root | 09:36 |
| bekks | judekn0x: "sudo -i" is a command. sudo is not a userid, and root is not a command. | 09:36 |
| parkbank | hi | 09:37 |
| cfhowlett | judekn0x, you would be well advised to back your fingers away from anything "sudo" until you spend some time reading and learning. | 09:39 |

| bekks | !sudo | judekn0x | 09:39 |
| ubottu | judekn0x: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 09:39 |
| bekks | judekn0x: ubottu just told you where to look it up. | 09:40 |
| mamon | hi | 09:40 |
| mamon | hi | 09:40 |
| judekn0x | !cli | 09:40 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 09:40 |
| judekn0x | !gksu | 09:40 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:40 |

| Tasab | cfhowlett; then | 09:57 |
| sysfor | I'm installing on a 4th Gen Intel NUC i3 system. There are only USB 3.0 ports so i was thinking it could have something to do with that, but i can't type anything to look :) | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | Tasab, use hplip to add/manage devices. or you might try CUPS | 09:58 |

| bekks | fa7ad7: Dont ask to ask, please just ask. | 09:59 |
| fa7ad7 | Will it work on a binary file | 09:59 |
| LonelyDanbo | I was told to get proprietary graphics drivers: software center, edit, software sources, additional drivers tab, install the latest nvidia driver. How do I identify the latest proprietary drivers? | 09:59 |
| fa7ad7 | Like say a .exe file | 09:59 |
| bekks | fa7ad7: you dont use echo .. >> ... with binary files. | 09:59 |
| sysfor | ill see | 09:59 |
| LonelyDanbo | Is it NVidia binary X.Org driver ('current' driver) ? | 10:00 |
| bekks | LonelyDanbo: Yes. | 10:00 |
| fa7ad7 | What happens when i do? | 10:00 |
| sysfor | only issue is i can't get it connected to the wifi since the mouse doesn't work. I'm in a hotel for work (6 weeks) so i dont' have everything | 10:00 |
| bekks | fa7ad7: You might break that file entirely. | 10:00 |
| llutz | fa7ad7: use dd skip/count/bs for binary files | 10:00 |
| LonelyDanbo | bekks, thanks. So I guess the non-proprietary one is the one called uh... Nuvaue or something? | 10:00 |
| fa7ad7 | Ok thanks guys | 10:01 |
| bekks | LonelyDanbo: nouveau is the opensource driver, yes. | 10:01 |
| LonelyDanbo | ok, thanks. | 10:01 |
| cjmac | Howdy... I've got a weird issue with some large drives on 12.04 server (64bit). They were external USB drives used on a mac (GPT formatted). When I remove them and hook them to my SATA controller I just get "invalid partition table"; if I put them back in the enclosure I can see the partitions. | 10:05 |
| LonelyDanbo | does (X)ubuntu need that 3rd party software it mentioned during installation to play audio? | 10:05 |
| cfhowlett | LonelyDanbo, if the audio is proprietary - yes. | 10:06 |
| bekks | cjmac: So the enclosure is somehow "optimized" for Mac and in fact just borks whatever it does :) | 10:06 |
| LonelyDanbo | the audio? file or hardware? | 10:07 |
| LonelyDanbo | MP3 on a... | 10:07 |
| mici | cjmac i had that too on my broken nas when trying to save the info. i ended up buying another enclosure for the disk because couldnt work put a way to get the data :) | 10:07 |
| cfhowlett | LonelyDanbo, .mp3 is proprietary | 10:07 |
| cjmac | mici, bekks: Thanks. I figured it was the enclosure doing weird things... *sigh* | 10:07 |
| mici | next nas was just a shitty laptop connected to a 2tb usb disk :) never again a shitty one | 10:08 |
| LonelyDanbo | Realtek® ALC887 | 10:08 |
| mici | sorry cursing and ot | 10:08 |
| cfhowlett | LonelyDanbo, .mp3 format is proprietary. you'd need the 3rd party software | 10:08 |

| hillary | when i install packages through ubuntu software centre i get an error it failed to install or remove but when i check the package is installed ubuntu 12.04 | 10:18 |
| hillary | what could be the issue? | 10:18 |
| hillary | any help to my problem? | 10:23 |
| LonelyDanbo | sorry, hillary. I don't know much about Ubuntu, and it's pretty early in the morning American time. | 10:26 |
| LonelyDanbo | you should try searching the internet for the error. | 10:26 |
| LonelyDanbo | and see if the description of the problem matches yous. | 10:27 |
| LonelyDanbo | I know I came across an issue with "broken" packages, but that's probably something different. | 10:27 |
| gargsms | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 recently and it won't recognize my build in audio | 10:27 |
| hillary | ok thank you though | 10:27 |
| gargsms | I cannot play any sounds. | 10:28 |
| gargsms | Tried alsamixer and pulseaudio | 10:28 |
| LonelyDanbo | gargsms, I had a problem like that. I had to edit some file to make my audio some "generic" device. | 10:28 |
| LonelyDanbo | I think because my motherboard is too new. | 10:28 |
| gargsms | I think my MoBo is too old. :p | 10:29 |
| LonelyDanbo | oh. | 10:29 |
| gargsms | It works fine on Windows | 10:29 |
| LonelyDanbo | I dunno. search for ubuntu and your motherboard model (if it's onboard sound) | 10:29 |
| gargsms | I have a graphics card installed and Ubuntu would only recognize the card | 10:30 |
| gargsms | not the onboard | 10:30 |
| bekks | gargsms: Thats most likely because the onboard GPU is to be disabled in the BIOS when installing an additional GPU. | 10:30 |
| gargsms | Maybe. I will have a look at BIOS Settings. Thanks bekks | 10:31 |
| bekks | That wont help. | 10:31 |
| gargsms | o.O | 10:31 |
| bekks | In almost all use cases, the onboard GPU is siabled when using an external GPU. So you will never "see" it. | 10:32 |
| gargsms | I will try removing the external GPU. | 10:32 |
| bekks | Why? | 10:32 |
| gargsms | Because it doesn't have an audio out | 10:33 |
| bekks | Graphic cards never have audio ports. | 10:33 |
| bekks | Thats why they are called graphic cards, and not sound cards. | 10:33 |
| gargsms | and I don't have DVI monitor | 10:33 |
| gargsms | or HDMI | 10:33 |

| iQuad | Is that ubuntu help channel? | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | iQuad, it is | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | ironhoof_, any chance you skipped a step/package during install? | 12:23 |
| iQuad | uh, ok. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 4~5 hours ago, near of the Windows 8.1 UEFI. I deleted 13.10 to Install 12.04 | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | iQuad, actually deleted? unnecessary - | 12:23 |
| iQuad | But grub is not working well, I tried everything.. boot-repair, search, grub command prompt etc | 12:23 |
| ironhoof_ | its from driver recommendations that is proprietary. Now thats bizzare i unplugged it and its working as wl even though it said it didnt install, and as driver wl1 | 12:24 |
| iQuad | cfhowlett: that's Ok I wanted clean install.. | 12:24 |
| iQuad | but now grub says: "boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod" | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | iQuad, OK. for future, format your partitions before installing and they'll wipe previous OS | 12:24 |
| iQuad | and there is no such a directory "x86-64-efi" on /boot/grub | 12:24 |
| eer | After installation my laptop does not show any wireless networks. Why could that be? | 12:25 |
| ironhoof_ | not that im complaining it says eth1 though | 12:25 |
| iQuad | eer, check wireless drivers | 12:25 |

| RobDude | I'll also say, I had to update my bios to get Windows 8 to install | 12:33 |
| ironhoof_ | i was under the impression that UEFI was the only one with secure boot, it boggles me how the EFI on my machine rewrite the old partition back with the win-EFI its stored on some chip somewhere. I am still learning it myself | 12:34 |

| theadmin | visva51: It's been default since forever | 13:31 |
| theadmin | visva51: You don't have to worry, APT is secure. | 13:31 |
| theadmin | ...well, not since forever, but for a looong time now | 13:31 |

| visva51 | theadmin: Thanks, that's good to know, I was worried if an M.I.T.M can acquire my apt-get request and send me his own packages instead. Thank you! | 13:33 |
| cybrNaut | ah shit.. not gonna work with ubuntu. after running "dd if=ubuntu_live.iso of=/dev/sdb", fdisk cannot work with /dev/sdb because it's GPT. And gparted sees the whole drive as unallocated. | 13:33 |
| llutz_ | cybrNaut: use parted | 13:34 |
| dell__ | ls | 13:34 |
| theadmin | cybrNaut: You can use the official Ubuntu usb creator tool (usb-creator-gtk), it allows to have space for your own data | 13:34 |
| dell__ | who has? | 13:34 |
| dell__ | No body in hear? | 13:35 |
| theadmin | dell__: ...Uh, plenty of people | 13:35 |
| cybrNaut | llutz_: will try.. i've not used that before | 13:35 |
| visva51 | dell__: Ask your question. You don't need to ask - to ask a question. | 13:36 |
| llutz_ | wasn't fdisk meant to get an update for handling gpt-devices... thought so | 13:36 |
| theadmin | llutz_: gfdisk I think | 13:36 |
| llutz_ | theadmin: hmm, can be | 13:37 |
| theadmin | llutz_: Not 100% sure | 13:37 |
| llutz_ | theadmin: doesn't matter, parted handles both :) | 13:38 |
| theadmin | llutz_: True :) | 13:39 |
| visva51 | theadmin: Why is it that gparted goes away after installing ubuntu? Why do I have reinstall it? | 13:39 |
| theadmin | visva51: It's not usually necessary on a final install -- after all, you can't deal with mounted partitions and stuff, normally GParted is used from live media | 13:39 |
| === xan is now known as Guest38243 | ||
| visva51 | theadmin: ok, thanks for the info. | 13:48 |
| cybrNaut | llutz_: parted does not work either. It sees the media as corrupted, and cannot even print the partition table. This may be an artifact of how isohybrid works | 13:49 |
| cybrNaut | i will have to use usb-creator-gtk it seems | 13:49 |
| cybrNaut | i've seen this work with debian before... but now i cannot repeat it.. same issue | 13:50 |

| dorsatum | ikonia: libgles2-mesa-dev : Depends: libgles2-mesa (= 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.7) this is what i get as a message | 15:30 |
| ikonia | what version of ubuntu is this ? | 15:30 |
| dorsatum | ikonia: 12.04, 64 bit | 15:31 |
| ikonia | dorsatum: do you have any ppa's or 3rd party repos | 15:31 |
| ikonia | (or have you used any) | 15:31 |
| dorsatum | ikonia: for sublime text 2, a ppa for that | 15:32 |
| dorsatum | ikonia: any idea? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | dorsatum: have you used any others at all at any time on this install ? | 15:37 |
| dorsatum | ikonia: i checked via the software centre. I've added ppa's for sublime text and ubuntu tweak other than that seems clean. plus, I recently changed to 64 bit, so it's relatively new | 15:39 |
| ikonia | "changed" to 64bit, how did you change to 64bit | 15:39 |
| dorsatum | ikonia: my bad. what I meant was that I recently installed the 64 bit version. On my machine I had the 32 bit version till about 3 weeks back, had to change for a project, removed it and installed the 64 bit one. | 15:41 |

| pkhaxorz | via key commands | 16:58 |
| jrib | pkhaxorz: you mean a keyboard shortcut? | 16:58 |
| pkhaxorz | yeah | 16:58 |
| pkhaxorz | that's the terminology | 16:58 |
| pkhaxorz | Actually logging out refreshes unity in a way that I need. | 16:58 |
| pkhaxorz | or as a terminal command | 16:59 |
| pkhaxorz | never mind. my windows reflexes popped back in, and hit control alt delete from CLI. | 17:05 |
| jrib | pkhaxorz: that brought you to a log in screen? | 17:06 |
| pkhaxorz | no. that brought me to rebooting my computer | 17:07 |
| pkhaxorz | by accident | 17:07 |
| jrib | pkhaxorz: ok | 17:07 |
| pkhaxorz | ah well, nothing of importance was on anyway. :P | 17:07 |
| gabmus | hello, anyone active? | 17:07 |
| pkhaxorz | yeah, sorta | 17:08 |
| pkhaxorz | why? | 17:08 |

| RobDude | (off-topic but...)Wow - it's really amazing how using something other than Windows changes your perspective on things. I've installed Windows on my netbook 5-6 times and never once noticed or complained that I needed to download 112mb file for audio drivers. 112mb to play sound on a netbook. lol | 17:11 |
| === NEWBIE_ is now known as Guest10838 | ||
| RobDude | I had Ubuntu on it before and the sound just worked, no problems | 17:11 |
| daum | i'm following http://foivos.zakkak.net/tuts/ubuntu_1304_raid1_setup , however i only have two partitions (/ and swap)...when it has me reboot i get an error on grub saying i must load kerne first | 17:11 |
| gabmus | wait for it, my ISP refuses to collaborate | 17:12 |
| rkokkelk | Hi guys, is there an easy way of executing script on interface up, or do I have to write a systemctl service? | 17:12 |
| Guest10838 | can someone help me with data recovery? I m new to this | 17:13 |
| pkhaxorz | sure. | 17:13 |
| gabmus | http://i.imgur.com/g2O4GLL.jpg | 17:13 |
| gabmus | the wallpaper gets "cropped" in an awkward way | 17:14 |
| gabmus | this only happens if I let nautilus manage the wallpaper | 17:14 |
| Pessimist | rkokkelk, this should probably help you: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html | 17:14 |
| gabmus | moreover, desktop icons get under the panel | 17:14 |
| whoever | gabmus: ok setings> display or settings > appearance | 17:14 |
| Pessimist | gabmus, so fill a bug report. Also you won't get any answers here because you are using 14.04 and a very new version of gnome-shell | 17:15 |
| whoever | gabmus: check you display settings, | 17:15 |
| rkokkelk | Pessimist: thanks, unfortunattly I post the question on the wrong channeld, it was meant for ArchLinux, but thanks anyway! | 17:15 |
| Pessimist | gabmus, it's not even in archlinux stable repositories | 17:15 |
| gabmus | what, really? D: | 17:16 |
| whoever | Pessimist: for what its worth i used 14.04 and didn't have that prob, i had compatability issues | 17:16 |
| gabmus | whatever, my display settings are fine, the resolution is correct and so are the detected monitors | 17:16 |
| gabmus | also, this awkward crop also happens on my notebook with only one screen | 17:17 |
| dante123 | hi all, bro in law wants me to install mint on a couple of xp computers? If I install beta for 14.04 is the upgrade easy to stable LTS version? Or should I put 13.10 on? | 17:17 |
| larry_ | i ve a laptop with a 32 bit ubuntu os and it can easily handle 64 bit but instead of intalling a whole new os can i just make the speed the same as a 64 bit os? | 17:17 |
| whoever | gabmus: ok, i as going for the most common reason why you would have that, then file a bug | 17:17 |
| dante123 | hi all, meant to say ubuntu | 17:17 |
| Pessimist | dante123, you just upgrade it and then when 14.04 is officially released you will get the 'official' version | 17:17 |
| larry_ | i have a laptop with a 32 bit ubuntu os and it can easily handle 64 bit but instead of intalling a whole new os can i just make the speed the same as a 64 bit os? | 17:18 |
| gabmus | then another thing: gnome crashes, gets blurry like a bad quality jpeg and my keyboard layout switches to english with no possibility to revert it except reboot | 17:18 |
| dante123 | Pessimist, so upgrade is pretty straightforward after the beta? | 17:18 |
| Pessimist | gabmus, so fill a bug report. Why are you still asking this? | 17:18 |
| dante123 | he's not very technically minded and wants the simplest route | 17:18 |
| gabmus | lel got it, ill revert to gnome 3.10 asap | 17:18 |
| whoever | gabmus: I would say wait for the official | 17:18 |
| gabmus | getting officially new packages on ubuntu means waiting for the next release | 17:19 |
| dante123 | I'm inclined to install the beta, and then he just upgrades when the time comes and doesnt need me for anything. | 17:19 |
| dante123 | otherwise he will want me to come down again | 17:19 |
| whoever | gabmus: or roll then yourself | 17:19 |
| * whoever hopes gabmus reverts to 12.04 and just waits 30 days | 17:21 | |
| gabmus | please, explain your last post whoever | 17:21 |
| gabmus | ahah, no. its not a 14.04 problem, it's a gnome 3.11 problem | 17:21 |
| whoever | gabmus: you wait for them, or you can get the source code, and compile them | 17:21 |
| gabmus | or i can just use the gnome3-staging ppa as i am already doing | 17:22 |
| gabmus | i know i shouldnt even complain about bugs, but i hoped this was a known bug i could solve | 17:22 |

| miraiE | hi | 17:29 |
| raj__ | which folder should be used for storing data to be used freely by all users(or preferably sudoers) of system ? | 17:29 |
| gabmus | im back | 17:32 |
| gabmus | yeah, the problem was gnome 3.11. as i suspected 14.04 is already rock solid and stable | 17:33 |
| Pessimist | raj__, make a directory and make it readable/writeable by all users? | 17:33 |
| gabmus | 3.10 works like a charm. but i already miss 3.11 | 17:33 |
| a1fa | what is the best desktop enviroment for newbs to transition from win7 to ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| miraiE | a1fa try KDE | 17:33 |
| raj__ | Pessimist: in the root directory '/' ? | 17:33 |
| gabmus | a1fa maybe lxde, or kde if you want to rice it much | 17:34 |
| a1fa | miraiE: too bloated | 17:34 |
| a1fa | gabmus: i am trying with xfce, but it may be too plain | 17:34 |
| gabmus | kde isn't bloated | 17:34 |
| gabmus | it's one of the best des out there | 17:34 |
| a1fa | gabmus: its not? | 17:34 |
| gabmus | if you have time to rice it, it isn't | 17:34 |
| a1fa | how about xfce+docky? | 17:35 |
| gabmus | maybe just a little bit, still love it. as now i'm sticking with gnome, don't really know why, but i love kde's customizability | 17:35 |
| Pessimist | raj__, something like /share? It shouldn't be in any other because every directory in / already has a function | 17:35 |
| miraiE | what do you want with that DE a1fa? maybe the appearance? | 17:35 |
| gabmus | a1fa forget a de that is identical to windows | 17:35 |
| a1fa | miraiE: yes | 17:35 |
| gabmus | designers dont like it | 17:36 |
| a1fa | this is for a college student | 17:36 |
| gabmus | its old and un-innovative | 17:36 |
| a1fa | (girl) going from win7 to xfce | 17:36 |
| a1fa | she may not like it | 17:36 |
| gabmus | i still think kde is a pretty solid choice | 17:36 |
| raj__ | Pessimist: i dont have /share by default, should I just create it ? | 17:36 |
| gabmus | grills actually use gnu+linux? | 17:36 |
| a1fa | i'll try with xfce and docky first | 17:36 |
| raj__ | I basically want to store some scripts..usable by all sudoers | 17:37 |
| gabmus | that's far from "similar to windows" | 17:37 |
| === [makije|away] is now known as makije | ||
| raj__ | Pessimist: I basically want to store some scripts..usable by all sudoers | 17:37 |
| gabmus | that's closer to osx | 17:37 |
| a1fa | she may like that | 17:37 |
| gabmus | moreover, i tried the xfce+docky combination on my notebook, and it really sucks | 17:37 |
| interweb | Is it bad to use airodump-ng with sudo ? | 17:37 |
| gabmus | maybe she likes unity better? | 17:38 |
| a1fa | anyway, she has a hitachi hd with 32gb ssd cache.. how do i know this is working? | 17:38 |
| a1fa | is this a hardware layer acceleration? | 17:38 |
| interweb | hello | 17:38 |
| gabmus | the thing is, docky isnt that much supported anymore, it acts awkwardly: if you have a chrome icon on the dock, and open it, since it is a separated instance, you see two chrome icons on the dock | 17:39 |
| gabmus | its a mess | 17:39 |
| Pessimist | a1fa, or maybe you should tell that windows isn't gnu/linux and let her choose what she wants? | 17:39 |
| gabmus | ^ | 17:39 |
| demophobia | I've got xchat open but it's not showing in my alt+tab list. What causes that? | 17:40 |
| gabmus | i think gnome-shell is idiot proof. also it works like many smartphone/tablet GUIs, so she could find it familiar after a while | 17:40 |
| demophobia | I'm going to try restarting xchat to see if that solves the problem. | 17:40 |
| interweb | Is it right way to use airodump-ng with sudo | 17:40 |
| interweb | ? | 17:40 |
| gabmus | if you want something 100% windows-user-proof, go with lxde, there's no way she could have any problem. maybe you can change the wm to xfwm or even compiz, to make it nicer | 17:41 |
| Pessimist | demophobia, a bug. Try hexchat -- a xchat fork | 17:41 |
| interweb | gabmus, I think kde looks more like windows | 17:41 |
| Tom1 | xfce is the best desktop environment | 17:41 |
| demophobia | Pessimist, restarting seems to have solved the alt+tab listing problem. Thanks, I'll look at it ... | 17:41 |
| whoever | a1fa: you could always skin it to look like windows | 17:42 |
| a1fa | whoever: hiding in plain site :0 | 17:42 |
| Tom1 | xfce is very fast and stable | 17:42 |
| gabmus | interweb, kde is awesome, but too complicated for a novice. | 17:42 |
| Tom1 | kde is little bit buggy | 17:42 |
| gabmus | uh, wait a minute: xubuntu 14.04 has a launcher that makes it look exactly like windows, but with the panel on the top | 17:42 |
| interweb | Tom1, Buggy ! Are you kidding me ? | 17:43 |
| gabmus | move the panel down and you have windows | 17:43 |
| homecable | any one gaming on steam with linux ? | 17:43 |

| gabmus | homecable yes i do | 17:43 |

| milkox | libbost random installed too | 17:44 |
| a1fa | whoever: 500gb hd + 32gb ssd cache | 17:44 |

| gabmus | a1fa you know she WILL have problems and ask you for like 2-3 years | 17:45 |
| a1fa | HpP ENVY4 | 17:45 |
| gabmus | a1fa you mean an hybrid hdd/ssd? | 17:45 |
| gabmus | it is dirt simple | 17:45 |

| gabmus | its like 2 drives | 17:45 |
| a1fa | whoever: os crashed and disk corrupted | 17:45 |
| gabmus | a1fa, disk corrupted or file system corrupted? there's a lot of difference | 17:46 |
| a1fa | gabmus: file system afaik | 17:46 |
| homecable | gabmus what install did u use | 17:46 |
| gabmus | thats no problem then | 17:46 |
| homecable | im looking for a clean install no bloat | 17:46 |
| milkox | Hi all! How can i compile? i get an error: fatal error: boost/random/uniform_int_didtributin.hpp: No such file or directory How can i solve this? anyone can help me? | 17:46 |
| whoever | a1fa: then the easiest fix would be to reformat the disk, you'll lose all that is on it, install windows 7 and also install avast anti virus , it is free, there is a registration | 17:46 |
| gabmus | homecable assuming with "install" you mean "os", i installed ubuntu gnome 13.10 and upgraded to 14.04 today | 17:47 |
| Pessimist | milkox, http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 17:47 |
| whoever | a1fa: and unless there in something else that I am missing will solve the problem | 17:47 |
| gabmus | whoever, let him try this, it could be nice | 17:47 |
| gabmus | so a1fa, boot a livecd and open up gparted | 17:47 |
| a1fa | i already got her files backed up | 17:48 |
| interweb | I used airmon-ng with sudo , should I re install ubuntu ? | 17:48 |
| a1fa | i think she will be happy with xubuntu | 17:48 |
| a1fa | ;) | 17:48 |
| Tom1 | i find puppy linux also good distro | 17:48 |
| gabmus | see if the ssd and the hdd are seen as different drives (ex: sda and sdb) if they are, just use the ssd with / mount point and the hdd with /home mount point. | 17:48 |
| whoever | gabmus: yes it could but in all cases I have had where they have screwed up window and try linux , they spend less then an hour and want windos back because they do not want to learn anuthing new | 17:48 |
| gabmus | also make sure to make a swap partition on the hdd with the same size of the ram she has | 17:48 |
| interweb | gabmus, I used airmon-ng with sudo , should I re install ubuntu ? | 17:49 |
| Tom1 | gabmus: don;t u think using ext4 filesystem on a ssd may wear out it very quickly ? | 17:49 |
| gabmus | uhm... | 17:50 |
| gabmus | never owned an ssd | 17:50 |
| gabmus | you have to enable trimming or whatever its called | 17:50 |
| whoever | gabmus: would dual booting be any better then a vm | 17:50 |
| Tom1 | gabmus:ssd are a lot like flashdrivers, though ssds are much faster | 17:50 |
| gabmus | dual booting is way faster, but not as practical | 17:51 |
| interweb | Could anyone help me with this problem ? Does it damage the security of my ubuntu using airmon-ng with sudo ? | 17:51 |
| Korkel | Hello. | 17:51 |
| Tom1 | they say that using ext4 on pendrive will kill the pendrive very quickly because ext4 is journaling filessytem | 17:51 |
| gabmus | disable journaling | 17:51 |
| whoever | gabmus: ya , either way you'll loose something | 17:51 |
| gabmus | whoever: if you have a powerful pc, a vm WILL be fine | 17:52 |
| aaa801 | how can i set a library load path when im running a program from shell ? | 17:52 |
| Tom1 | gabmus:but then it would be more like older ext2 filesystem isnt? ext4 is robust because of journaling feature. | 17:52 |
| gabmus | dunno, use something else | 17:52 |
| whoever | gabmus: using gparted to set the partitions seems like an unneeded step, i would install win and create my two logicals there | 17:53 |
| whoever | gabmus: most notebooks now have quad core and 6-8GB ram so you would be fine | 17:54 |
| gabmus | http://superuser.com/questions/228657/which-linux-filesystem-works-best-with-ssd | 17:54 |

| nichlas | gerzino: as rypervenche sais. you can install each service on it's own | 19:51 |
| nichlas | gerzino but that doesn't give you the controls that OMV offers, and neither the user administration | 19:52 |
| rypervenche | gerzino: I don't know of any single service that can do all of that. I personally have NFS and AFS set up on my server at home. Samna isn't hard to set up either. I would do them all manually. | 19:52 |

| thurstylark | What do I put in my upstart script to specify where my command is supposed to be run from? I'm trying to run a command that has config scripts in the same directory as the executable file | 19:53 |
| nichlas | gerzino: there are countless control panels out there that will do most of what OMV offers, that you can readily install on your existing box | 19:53 |
| rypervenche | gerzino: You will still have the same problem if you virtualize the server. | 19:54 |
| nichlas | thurstylark: i usually 'cd' to the place | 19:54 |
| deanm | nichlas: What's a live system ? | 19:54 |
| nichlas | deanm: well, the ubuntu install iso is a live system. | 19:54 |
| deanm | nichlas: You mean the "try me" kind of installations ? | 19:54 |

| nichlas | raj__: no. you can just put #!/bin/bash in the first line, then it knows | 19:58 |
| nichlas | deanm: yes, it is only the "removable" part that it doesn't like | 19:58 |
| raj__ | nichlas: could it be without any extensiosn ? | 19:58 |

| Aossi | hey so i has a question | 20:05 |
| sydney | most of the time I do not find it unreasonable. I am running ubuntu 12.04,1gb ram,dual core 1.86ghz prossesor,1.5gb swap.It normally hapens when I am playing Suertux or making a slideshow or video,but it is still slow after doing that. | 20:05 |
| Aossi | can i use ubuntu 12.04 32bit to fix my old windows xp computer? | 20:05 |
| === andre__ is now known as Guest41901 | ||
| sydney | Aossi_: What do you mean by Fix? | 20:06 |
| Aossi | sydney: so when i boot my xp laptop it does its thing gets to the xp splash screen with loading bar and then POOF back to boot options (safe mode blah blah blah) | 20:07 |
| Beldar | Aossi, That is a ##windows issue | 20:07 |
| Aossi | i know | 20:08 |
| Aossi | but can i use ubuntu to fix it | 20:08 |
| nichlas | Aossi: only if you know what's wrong | 20:08 |
| Beldar | Aossi, Other than running sudo update-grub in ubuntu to make sure it is getting seen. | 20:08 |
| sydney | Aossi_: I am not sure how to fix that,because ubuntu is not really a windows fixing tool. | 20:08 |
| Aossi | Beldar: would i be able to use ubuntu to go into my windows partition on the hard drive and see if im missing kernels or dll files? | 20:09 |
| nichlas | Aossi: replacing windows with ubuntu will most likely fix your issue | 20:09 |
| sydney | ubottu_:most of the time I do not find it unreasonable. I am running ubuntu 12.04,1gb ram,dual core 1.86ghz prossesor,1.5gb swap.It normally hapens when I am playing Suertux or making a slideshow or video,but it is still slow after doing that. | 20:09 |
| ubottu | sydney: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:09 |
| Beldar | Aossi, You have full access to windows from linux generally. | 20:09 |
| Aossi | Beldar: coolness | 20:10 |
| nichlas | sydney: have you tried looking at the resource manager? | 20:10 |
| Aossi | Beldar: and ubuntu 12.04 can run along side xp with out removing it correct? | 20:10 |
| nichlas | sydney: maybe there is some app that refuses to close, and use up all your memory | 20:10 |
| Beldar | Aossi, Fifferent file systems however and permissions, be careful. | 20:10 |
| Aossi | Beldar: noted | 20:10 |
| Beldar | Aossi, You can it alongside, however resizing a broke XP is not a good idea. | 20:11 |
| Beldar | run* | 20:11 |
| Aossi | Beldar: i was thinking more of resizing ubuntu to the partition instead of fucking with the windows part | 20:11 |
| Beldar | Aossi, Cool, please don't swear here. ;) | 20:12 |
| nichlas | Aossi: you should start with the live version. You can access your NTFS/FAT partitions without installing anything. | 20:12 |
| Aossi | Beldar: sorry | 20:12 |
| Aossi | nichlas: so basically click try instead of install huh | 20:13 |
| nichlas | Aossi: exactly | 20:13 |
| Aossi | nichlas: noted | 20:13 |
| thurstylark | nichlas: figured it out. just needed to use the chdir directive in the script | 20:13 |
| nichlas | thurstylark: that also sounds cleaner than shifting to bash for that. | 20:14 |
| Aossi | nichlas: in the live version of ubuntu how do i use ubuntu to essentially debug and work around in windows with out booting windows | 20:16 |
| nichlas | Aossi: you will only be able to access files | 20:16 |
| Aossi | nichlas: elaborate please | 20:16 |
| nichlas | do you see the unmounted disk in the menu on the left? | 20:16 |
| Aossi | nien | 20:16 |
| thurstylark | nichlas: indeed. Works like a charm | 20:17 |
| Guest14597 | leave | 20:18 |

| sarthak | Yes bekks | 20:23 |
| bekks | sarthak: Then just choose ext4, e.g. | 20:23 |
| Aossi | gmachine_24: thanks bro i got that going | 20:23 |
| sarthak | What about the scheme? MBR or GUID ... or do I chose don't partition bekks | 20:24 |

| gmachine_24 | sarthak, much better than the other way around | 20:26 |

| daftykins | Aossi: for putting a drink on? | 20:28 |
| Aossi | no to fix the boot issue with my xp system and then to run ubuntu along side it so i dont have to utilize winblows security programs | 20:29 |
| Aossi | caus well ubuntu is superior | 20:29 |
| Aossi | lol | 20:29 |
| sarthak | Talking about security, is there any need for an AntiVirus program on Ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| nichlas | sarthak: most don't. But that doesn't mean there are no risk. | 20:31 |
| nichlas | sarthak: but it is advisable to scan for rootkits and changed core files | 20:32 |
| linuxthefish | why won't ubuntu still install onto SSD? tried USB and DVD... | 20:32 |
| nichlas | especially if it is on an exposed server | 20:32 |
| linuxthefish | even tried linux mint | 20:32 |
| nichlas | linuxthefish: i have mine running on SSD. what is the problem? | 20:32 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: you get some message what happens, dont you? | 20:32 |
| sarthak | I guess it's a "good to have" thing? I was using OS X a year ago, ended up getting CyberSecurity for Mac. Never caught anything. | 20:32 |
| linuxthefish | nichlas it won't let me create any partitions | 20:33 |
| macss | does anybody know if it is possible to install x86 Ubuntu onto a x64 computer | 20:33 |
| linuxthefish | however it works fine in gparted | 20:33 |
| nichlas | macss: sure | 20:33 |
| bekks | macss: Sure. But why dont you use a 64bit OS? | 20:33 |
| nichlas | linuxthefish: sounds odd. But you can precreate the partitions, and then just install using the existing. | 20:34 |
| linuxthefish | i can't even see partitions | 20:34 |
| sarthak | linuxthefish If you do get it working, remember to set a manual swap space. If you have lots of ram 16GB+ then it'll eat your SSD. | 20:34 |
| mici | what would happen if you didnt give the system ANY or very little swap | 20:35 |
| sarthak | mici Some apps don't run (i.e. VMWare Player needs 2gb swap) | 20:35 |
| macss | bekks i plan on it but i am currently in a starbucks and unhappily using windows 8. i accidentally downloaded x86 earlier and don't have the bandwidth here to download x64 .... so im just gonna install x86 real quick | 20:35 |
| nichlas | I only run with swap on my server | 20:36 |
| nichlas | My desktop doesn't have any. No problems yet. | 20:36 |
| c|oneman | anyone run a GUI on Ubuntu in an openvz vm? I always get bugs on the user accounts screen, I can't unlock it, and I have to use the root password to install things in the GUI, my user password doesn't work | 20:36 |
| linuxthefish | wtf ubuntu is saying my disk has 98304 bad sectors... | 20:36 |
| mici | i never understood why they recommend the same swap size than your ram is... that seems stupid to give 32gb swap to 32gb ram system :) i only use swap if i know my actual ram wont be enough... | 20:36 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: Then your disk is going to die very soon. | 20:37 |
| linuxthefish | no it's fine in windows, i tested SMART a few days ago | 20:37 |
| mici | running vm from swap sounds like a slow thing ;D | 20:37 |
| mici | unless ssd or smth | 20:37 |
| nichlas | linuxthefish: i would try running a scan with the provided program. Sounds way off. | 20:38 |
| linuxthefish | :( | 20:40 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: Pastebin "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX" where sdX is the device of your disk. | 20:40 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: you just don't know what you are talking about. | 20:40 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: Windows ignores SMART at all, btw. | 20:41 |
| linuxthefish | to late, shut down and removed disk | 20:41 |
| linuxthefish | what about CrystelDiskInfo? | 20:41 |
| bekks | We dont care about Windows tools :) | 20:41 |
| linuxthefish | jdoles or i wouldn't be asking for help... | 20:41 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: do you know what a sector is? | 20:42 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: We can help you with Ubuntu tools, not with Windows tools. | 20:42 |
| linuxthefish | no clue | 20:42 |
| nichlas | linuxthefish: my SSDs always came with tools. Didn't yours? | 20:43 |
| linuxthefish | nope, just a plain box :S | 20:43 |
| nichlas | Samsung Magic something. | 20:43 |
| nichlas | magician | 20:43 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: a sector is just a subset of the bytes on your disk with some error correction. | 20:45 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: a bad sector is a sector for which this error correction code says "hey, this is bad". | 20:45 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: you have close to 100,000 of those. | 20:45 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: the result of hitting a bad sector is slow performance at best or data loss at worst. | 20:46 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: it's also an indicator of complete failure. | 20:46 |
| SrPx | Update: my Ubuntu-VM attempt to install GHCJS was another mediocre failure. I'm figurativelly gonna cry. | 20:46 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: the solution is simple: buy a new disk. | 20:47 |
| nichlas | bad sectors on SSDs make little sense | 20:47 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: Windows might not hit those same sectors. | 20:47 |
| SrPx | woops, wrong chan | 20:47 |
| bekks | nichlas: Really? So how do you think SSD store data? Just in a pool of transistors, and when a "1" is requested, just a random one holding "1" yells "here, here! I have one 1"? :) | 20:48 |
| daftykins | nichlas: yes they do, it happens. | 20:48 |
| jdoles | An SSD does not have "sectors", I suppose. | 20:48 |
| daftykins | yes it does | 20:48 |
| jdoles | But it does store information and you could label does as sectors. | 20:49 |
| jdoles | those* | 20:49 |
| daftykins | such misinformation here ;_; | 20:49 |
| jdoles | daftykins: a sector does not make a lot of sense for an SSD, see what bekks said. | 20:49 |
| sydney | Is anyone there? | 20:49 |
| asddssadds | Nothing pops up when I click the search button in the Dash. I just installed the latest Ubuntu from a usb drive. | 20:49 |
| jdoles | daftykins: a sector being a part of a disc shaped object. | 20:49 |
| bekks | nichlas: Thos entities holding data and implementing an error detection for them are called "sectors". Even if there is no mechanical pendant like in usual HDD. | 20:49 |
| asddssadds | And on the live version it worked | 20:49 |
| asddssadds | hi sydney | 20:50 |
| asddssadds | anyone know how to fix the search? | 20:50 |
| daftykins | jdoles: i disagree but nm | 20:50 |
| jdoles | daftykins: it seems bekks has said exactly the same thing again. | 20:50 |
| sydney | asddssadds_: What do you mean by search? | 20:51 |
| jdoles | It's just that some set of people thought it would be cool to also call that a "sector". | 20:51 |
| jdoles | It's just convenient for all the software and drivers. | 20:51 |
| daftykins | oh dear, his record must be scratched | 20:51 |
| sydney | asddssadds What do you mean by search? | 20:51 |

| asddssadds | damn, unity --reset-icons made all window borders and all icons disappear | 20:52 |
| jdoles | daftykins: so, why don't you tell us how you think the world works, since apparently you are an Intel SSD engineer... | 20:52 |
| asddssadds | jdoles just threw down the gauntlet | 20:53 |
| daftykins | !offtopic | jdoles | 20:53 |
| ubottu | jdoles: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 20:53 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:53 |
| sydney | Why does ubuntu 12.04 take like 45 seconds to start? | 20:55 |
| jdoles | !EDOESNOTHAVEBALLS | daftykins | 20:55 |
| daftykins | well that's not nice | 20:56 |
| jdoles | sydney: because it was made by visionless people and you have broken hardware. | 20:56 |
| guntbert | jdoles: be polite and constructive please | 20:56 |
| bekks | sydney: Why not? Thats pretty ok. | 20:56 |
| bekks | sydney: And how often do you actually start? :) | 20:56 |
| jdoles | sydney: my version of Ubuntu starts in about 9 seconds to some login screen + 4 seconds for BIOS stuff. | 20:56 |
| OerHeks | sydney install bootchart to see what is really happening | 20:57 |
| sydney | bekks_: about twice a day. | 20:57 |
| sss | hi | 20:57 |
| bekks | sydney: So thats not that long then. | 20:57 |
| OerHeks | !bootchart | 20:57 |
| ubottu | bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot | 20:57 |
| jdoles | sydney: I also don't start the machine more than once per month, because you are not supposed to do that. | 20:57 |
| jdoles | sydney: you are supposed to use suspend if you use it often and otherwise hibernation. | 20:57 |
| jdoles | sydney: if those features don't work, find a machine or OS where that does work. | 20:58 |
| daftykins | jdoles: can you stop making stuff up now please | 20:58 |
| nichlas | bekks: yes, but most tools don't know how to check. And a bad sector doesn't mean the same on a SSD as on a magnetic disk | 20:58 |
| nichlas | SSD sectors go bad one at a time, to be reallocated. On a magnetic disk there are not supposed to be any at all. | 20:58 |
| demophobia | Must attached storage devices (e.g. iPods, thumbdrives) be 'safely ejected' before unplugging? | 20:58 |
| nichlas | bekks: yes, but a million bad sectors doesn't mean there will be actual data loss for an SSD | 20:58 |
| nichlas | the important part is if the number changes. | 20:58 |

| === tbarlow is now known as Bleakwise | ||
| nichlas | If it is a new disk i would definitely RMA it, nevermind any theory or magic behind it. | 20:58 |
| sydney | jdoles_: I do us suspen most of the time,but sometimes it stops behaving corectly ,or slows down. | 20:58 |

| jdoles | daftykins: nichlas just said exactly the same thing. | 20:58 |

| jdoles | daftykins: so, it appears that most people agree with what I said. | 20:58 |
| asdsdaasd | ramsub07: import it? | 20:58 |
| bekks | nichlas: If you actually "see" bad sectors, there are replacement areas left. That applies for HDD as well as for SSD. | 20:58 |
| jdoles | daftykins: as such, please explain why I should care about your opinion (which apparently you don't have). | 20:59 |
| bekks | nichlas: So if you "have" bad sectors, you disk is going to die. | 20:59 |

| daftykins | guntbert: i do not need to be told the rules | 21:01 |

| asdsdaasd | iwhen i click on the search icon, the other icons grey out like it's in the search app, but the search window doesnt appear | 21:01 |
| linuxthefish | it's a different disk... | 21:01 |
| hydrajump | hi assuming a new 4GB disk /dev/sda. Isn't creating a single root partition using this: `parted --script --align optimal /dev/sda mkpart primary 64S 100%` the wrong way to align for best performance? Isn't the correct way to align to not set the starting offset, e.g. `parted --script --align optimal /dev/sda mkpart primary 0% 100%` | 21:01 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: ok, there are then still a ton of explanations for that behaviour. | 21:02 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: So run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX | 21:02 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: one of them is that your hardware is an apparatus to kill your other hardware. | 21:02 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: but there are many more; that's the "fun" you get when you toy around with your own hardware. | 21:02 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: what error specifically do you get? | 21:03 |
| linuxthefish | bekks will try that in a sec. jdoles troll... | 21:03 |
| bekks | linuxthefish: Just ignore him. | 21:03 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: whatever bekks is saying is virtually useless. | 21:04 |
| jdoles | linuxthefish: the reason for that is that SMART is fairly useless. | 21:04 |
| linuxthefish | the installer isn't showing any partitions and none of the buttons to add/delete do anything, and sometimes it says "starting the partitioner in the bottom right" | 21:04 |

| OerHeks | tables logically because you hard deleted the folder. | 21:14 |
| andyfied | OerHeks: i've just installed nvidia-319 and i'm still getting sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 21:14 |
| tables | OerHeks, so how do i get the configs back? | 21:14 |
| tables | lol | 21:14 |
| OerHeks | tables, why do you want me to answer the same question again? | 21:15 |
| OerHeks | gone is gone, you deleted it perfectly. | 21:15 |
| tables | i can never get it back? | 21:15 |

| omar_ | I am trying to install the latest kernel version on my Ubuntu 13.10, but it is failing for some reason. What can I do to make it work? | 21:18 |
| sydney | when i minimize programs and reopen them they do not show the contents of the program,and it slows down. | 21:19 |
| gabmus | why don't you upgrade to 14.04? it's as stable as 13.10 already | 21:19 |
| gabmus | sydney, maybe your pc is old | 21:19 |
| gabmus | what hardware do you have | 21:19 |
| omar_ | gabmus, What kernel version does 14.04 use? | 21:19 |
| gabmus | 3.13.0-17-generic | 21:20 |
| OerHeks | andyfied, i never used nvidia-xconfig myself, just gksudo nvidia-settings | 21:20 |
| ldiamond_ | I swapped Caps Lock with Escape in the system config through the keyboards options. However, I don't want to "Swap", I want both to be escape. Anyone knows how to do that? (where is that setting written on disk?) | 21:20 |
| sydney | It is a Dell xps 410, 1 gig of ram,dual core 1.86ghz,running 12.04 | 21:20 |
| gabmus | sydney, it is a pretty old system | 21:20 |
| gabmus | you should try something lighter like lubuntu or at least xubuntu | 21:21 |
| andyfied | OerHeks: nvidia-settings is complaining about xorg.conf being wrong and tells me to use nvidia-xconfig | 21:21 |

| raj__ | deleting this file fails.. $ rm "-home.hist" says: rm: invalid option -- 'h' Try `rm --help' for more information. | 21:21 |
| JohninLex1 | so whats sup with initrd.img-3.11.0.18 failing? | 21:21 |
| raj__ | how do I delete the above file successfully .. ? | 21:21 |
| sydney | I know about 8 years old,but it still works. | 21:21 |
| JohninLex1 | it needs to be removed until it is fixed | 21:21 |
| sarthak | There is a lost+found folder on an external EXT4 drive. Is that normal or should it be hidden? | 21:21 |
| gabmus | omar_ whats your problem? | 21:21 |
| sarthak | jdoles I am sure everyone regardless of their technical experience with Linux is welcome here. | 21:21 |
| JohninLex1 | this is why I hate this channel | 21:21 |
| JohninLex1 | its to busy to get anything out | 21:21 |
| JohninLex1 | so anyone know why initramfs keeps failing from updates? | 21:21 |
| sarthak | Guess we'll never see official and stable support from NVIDIA. I remember having battery life in the minutes with NVIDIA cards. | 21:21 |
| raj__ | Removing this file fails: rm -home-raj-.history | 21:21 |
| raj__ | how to remove this file ? | 21:21 |
| raj__ | says: rm: invalid option -- 'h' Try `rm --help' for more information. | 21:21 |
| MarderIII | raj_: rm \-home\-raj\-.history perhaps? | 21:21 |
| MarderIII | or quote the filename. | 21:21 |
| sarthak | Can you not show hidden files and delete the file manually through file explorer. raj__ | 21:21 |
| raj__ | yes that fixed! thanks! | 21:21 |

| gabmus | send it again | 21:25 |
| omar_ | ok | 21:25 |
| omar_ | gabmus, I have a Toshiba Satellite M50D-A-103, and apparently it uses a slightly different standard for the function keys.. This results in linux basically mixing them up. (cont.) | 21:25 |

| gabmus | sydney: the thing is that the pc works, but unity needs more ram to run smoothly. your best hope is lubuntu imho, but i would step away from the *buntu family and switch to something lighter like crunchbang. | 21:26 |

| sydney | Do any of you who have tried ubuntu 14.04 know if it will run decently of worse than 12.04 on 1gig of ram? | 21:29 |
| raj__ | when i give a space before writing a command in terminal.. it does not appear in history.. is that a way to skip history ??? | 21:29 |
| k1l | !trusty | sydney | 21:29 |
| omar_ | gabmus, I have no idea actually. I am just hoping that the latest kernel release holds with in the final cure for my issue. | 21:29 |
| ubottu | sydney: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 | 21:29 |
| gabmus | omar_: anyway, if you want or need to live on the bleeding edge, step away from ubuntu. arch is the most bleeding edge distro i know. its a pita to install, but there are derivates like archbang that are easier. give it a try | 21:30 |
| === JZTech101 is now known as jzmitch | ||
| bekks | raj__: It does, here. History gets updated when you quit the current shell. | 21:30 |
| === jzmitch is now known as JZTech101 | ||
| omar_ | gabmus, live on the bleeding edge? What do you mean? | 21:30 |
| gabmus | sydney: unity is greedy of ram, nothing will run smoothly on that, except LIGHT things like xfce or lxde. As a more advanced user i'd use openbox wm instead of a complete DE, to be more light | 21:31 |
| bekks | sydney: In addition, Unity requires 3D. | 21:31 |
| guntbert | raj__: yes, thats the way to keep singlle commands from being recorded into the history | 21:31 |
| sydney | Dureiken_: have you tried installing it directly from Ubuntu Software Center? I had the same problem and solved it that way. | 21:31 |
| raj__ | bekks: acutally I found that a command with space was skipped in history in between two commands.. | 21:31 |
| gabmus | omar_: living on the bleeding edge means having the last software asap. most times this means some instabilities and occasional fuckups, but if you NEED it for a problem like yours, it could be the only solution. this said, give 14.04 a try, if that doesnt work, try archbang | 21:32 |
| raj__ | bekks: atleast this is what I see through 'history' command .. did not check with .bash _history yet.. | 21:32 |
| sydney | I know Unity is a resource hog,but I wasn't sure if Trusty would be better in that area. | 21:32 |
| MarderIII | gabmus: or if you want to be totally minimalistic you can use evilwm... ;-) | 21:32 |
| Dureiken | sydney : I achieved to install Java 6 wia ubuntu center, not 7 | 21:33 |
| raj__ | guntbert: thanks for confirmation ! | 21:33 |
| gabmus | Dureiken: just copy and paste this into your terminal without the quotes: "gksu apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk && exit" | 21:33 |
| Dureiken | openjdk is same as java ? | 21:33 |
| omar_ | gabmus, I see. Well.. I'll give 14.04 a shot. Thanks. :) | 21:33 |
| gabmus | sydney: trusty is about the same thing, dont expect so many changes | 21:33 |
| gabmus | omar_: no problem, always willing to help where i can ;D | 21:34 |
| sydney | gambus_: Ok,Thanks :) | 21:34 |
| andyfied | there doesn't really seem to be much in my xorg.conf anyway | 21:34 |
| Slart | raj__: aparently there is a setting in bash for ignoring dupes in history and ignoring commands starting with space.. on my system the setting is "both".. so it's a bash setting | 21:34 |
| andyfied | but it does say driver nvidia, so i have no clue why it isn't running | 21:34 |
| gabmus | MarderIII: I like openbox more, maybe just because I'm already used to it | 21:34 |
| gabmus | sydney: again, np, always willing to help | 21:34 |
| Slart | raj__: you can check the setting by running echo $HISTCONTROL | 21:34 |
| gabmus | be sure to visit my youtube, if you want to do something nice to me :) | 21:35 |
| Dureiken | gabmus : I have no xserver | 21:35 |
| gabmus | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVqlDOUyIjMWqBUhp73a90g | 21:35 |
| sydney | Dureiken_: Yes,as far as I know they are. | 21:35 |
| Slart | gabmus: please, don't advertise stuff like that here | 21:35 |
| raj__ | Slart: yes that says ... ignoreboth | 21:35 |
| raj__ | thanks!! | 21:35 |
| MarderIII | gabmus: to each his own :) evilwm is very memory light. | 21:35 |
| gabmus | Dureiken: run "sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-7-jdk" | 21:36 |
| gabmus | Slart: ok sorry :\ | 21:36 |
| Slart | raj__: same as I have | 21:36 |
| mel| | hi | 21:36 |
| Dureiken | gabmus : thanks a lot it worked | 21:36 |
| sydney | mel_: hello | 21:36 |

| mel| | im still trying to transform my samsung series 7 notebook into an ubuntu machine | 21:37 |
| gabmus | Dureiken: no problem. if you are managing a server you should learn bash, and if you already do, learn how apt works. it's really easy and comes in handy even on a desktop pc | 21:37 |
| mel| | does someone know where to look for a switch to uefi legacy mode? | 21:37 |
| asafsasf | what's good about the openjdk? | 21:37 |
| MarderIII | gabmus: running on some pretty memory restricted hardware. So that's why evilwm. | 21:38 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 21:38 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 21:38 |
| gabmus | i usually install all of my programs using the command line | 21:38 |
| * andyfied is seriously considering reinstalling the OS just to get nvidia-xconfig back | 21:38 | |
| mel| | was hard enough to get into the uefi config (wtf windows 8?) | 21:38 |
| gabmus | MarderIII: there's a reason if lightweight stuff exists. I should give it a shot on my raspi, if it wasnt a useless piece of crap | 21:38 |
| daftykins | mel|: can you provide some images of your setup screens? | 21:38 |
| Slart | andyfied: it's gone? isn't it part of the nvidia driver package? | 21:38 |

| MarderIII | gabmus: have used it on my 256Mb raspi. Was usable | 21:39 |
| andyfied | Slart: i can't seem to find it at all. i've installed nvidia-319 and 304, now i'm trying the updates | 21:39 |
| ramsub07 | how to ? | 21:39 |
| asafsasf | ramsub07, read your db docs? | 21:39 |
| Dinosaurio | Hi. I'd like to know how to remove all .jpg files recursively. | 21:40 |
| ramsub07 | I have a csv file which i want to convert to a db file | 21:40 |
| gabmus | MarderIII: openbox was usable too, but when you are used to an i3 on a desktop, you tend to lose patience on low end devices | 21:40 |
| gabmus | not i3 the window manager | 21:40 |
| MarderIII | :-) | 21:40 |
| gabmus | the intel core i3 | 21:40 |
| Slart | andyfied: I think it's part of nvidia-current in 12.04, not sure if it's the same with newer versions | 21:40 |
| Slart | andyfied: sorry, 12.10 | 21:40 |
| gabmus | what you use your raspi for? | 21:41 |

| Dureiken | gabmus : ok I will look some Wiki :) thanks. Is that normal that a fresh new server have 1GB or ram used without anything launched ? | 21:41 |
| MarderIII | gabmus: at the moment as a irssi client with proxy configured for my android phone | 21:41 |
| Slart | andyfied: see ubottus message above.. it should be available in all those packages | 21:41 |
| ramsub07 | I have a csv file which i want to convert to a db file | 21:41 |
| ramsub07 | how to proceed ? | 21:42 |
| andyfied | Slart: i used to have it :/ that's whats bugging me. i removed it when i tried to install a new gfx card by mistake and now i'm going through each driver package just to see if i can get it back. no joy with 319-updates | 21:42 |
| gabmus | Dureiken: ubuntu isn't lightweight. i would choose it for a server really, while I'd prefer debian stable | 21:42 |
| MarderIII | gabmus: and as a honeypot | 21:42 |
| Dureiken | gabmus : ok thanks, it's for a game server (minecraft) | 21:42 |
| gabmus | i wouldnt choose it for a server* | 21:42 |
| asafsasf | ramsub07, import the csv file | 21:42 |
| Slart | andyfied: perhaps the updates packages just has replacements if there is a newer version of the file.. have you tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-319 | 21:42 |
| Slart | ramsub07: what is a .db file? sql? something else? | 21:43 |
| ramsub07 | sqlite | 21:43 |
| gabmus | Slart: a database file i think | 21:43 |
| gabmus | for libreoffice base | 21:43 |
| ramsub07 | yes | 21:43 |
| Slart | ramsub07: this seems useful http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ImportingFiles | 21:43 |

| asafsasf | hang your head in shame | 21:44 |
| gabmus | oh you got answered | 21:44 |
| andyfied | Slart: i'll try that | 21:44 |

| andyfied | weirdly xorg.conf does have "driver nvidia" in it, but it's not running | 21:46 |

| ramsub07 | but I am getting an error | 21:46 |
| ramsub07 | line 1: expected 8 columns of data but found 1 | 21:47 |
| gabmus | andyfied: maybe the nvidia driver is blacklisted. have you installed bumblebee? | 21:47 |
| andyfied | gabmus: no, would it be a good idea to? | 21:47 |
| bekks | ramsub07: So fix the input file. | 21:47 |
| asafsasf | ramsub07, I'm having trouble seeing your input file with my crystal ball. The spirits are uncooperative today. | 21:47 |
| andyfied | i've seen the instructions so i'll try it | 21:48 |
| Beryl | I've found with new cards, xorg edgers is the best, but with old cards, sometimes the latest nvidia drivers are buggier than the older stables | 21:48 |

| IdleOne | gabmus: No cursing in here please | 21:49 |
| Dinosaurio | Slart: daniel@daniel-pc:~$ find -delete | 21:50 |
| gabmus | well well well... andyfied what version of ubuntu are you running? and what driver version? | 21:50 |
| gabmus | IdleOne: ooops, didnt notice :D | 21:50 |
| andyfied | gabmus: 13.10 and currently 319 | 21:50 |
| rypervenche | Dinosaurio: Then you removed your home directory. | 21:50 |
| rypervenche | Dinosaurio: Or all the files in it. | 21:50 |
| gabmus | meh, dunno that should work fine | 21:50 |
| andyfied | gabmus: yeah, i know :( | 21:50 |
| gabmus | you installed it from official repos? | 21:50 |
| Dinosaurio | not really, "Download", and some other folders dissappeared | 21:50 |
| andyfied | gabmus: straight out of synaptic | 21:51 |
| Dinosaurio | But I didn't lose my music and university works | 21:51 |
| gabmus | did you do anything strange to X or to the drivers? | 21:51 |
| asafsasf | anyone know where that randr option menu is? to fix screen flickering? | 21:51 |
| Dinosaurio | the thing is, I don't know what will happen when restarting | 21:51 |
| gabmus | do you have an X session? or you can't access it? | 21:51 |
| andyfied | gabmus: maybe i did something weird, but i'm not sure what. i installed lxde so i could get a de | 21:51 |
| gabmus | andyfied: you didnt have a de before? | 21:52 |
| gabmus | is that a server? | 21:52 |
| andyfied | gabmus: it boots up okay and gets to the login screen but unity won't run i assume it needs to be acceleragted | 21:52 |
| gabmus | andyfied: if it reaches the login screen then X is working | 21:53 |
| gabmus | is the resolution ok? | 21:53 |
| andyfied | gabmus: and for whatever reason it seems to keep grabbing the vesa one | 21:53 |
| gabmus | you mean the mesa* one? | 21:53 |
| gabmus | you mean the nouveau driver? | 21:53 |
| andyfied | gabmus: no, it's dead wrong resolution and nvidia-settings says the nvidia driver is not running | 21:53 |
| Slart | Dinosaurio: I would do a reinstall.. and cry silently when I go to sleep hoping it will never happen again =) | 21:53 |
| andyfied | gabmus: erm, let me check | 21:54 |
| Slart | Dinosaurio: and start doing backups.. it's never to late =) | 21:54 |
| gabmus | ok andyfied lets get into real s***t | 21:54 |
| gabmus | where are you writing from? your pc? | 21:54 |
| gabmus | brb gimme a sec | 21:54 |
| gabmus | im back | 21:55 |
| andyfied | gabmus: i'm on the desktop in question, but i'm using ssh to my fileserver and using irssi from there because of reasons... | 21:55 |
| gabmus | can you access another device? | 21:56 |
| gabmus | like a smarthpone or anything else? | 21:56 |

| andyfied | oh, i got a laptop down on the floor here | 21:56 |
| Virtual | Anybody know a better drive than using b43-installer for a MacBook Pro airport? | 21:56 |
| gabmus | get it, we are going to mess your pc up and make some tests | 21:57 |

| andyfied | right, i'm on lappy now | 21:58 |
| sydney_ | How would I create a app in ubuntu if I wanted to? | 21:59 |
| gabmus | the first thing you are going to do is restart your pc and NOT logging in. get into a tty (press ctrl+alt+F5) then login. Now we are going to uninstall nouveau drivers with the following command: "sudo apt-get -y purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" | 21:59 |
| bekks | sydney_: Define "app" please. | 21:59 |
| Dureiken | gabmus : debian : used 174Mb :p | 21:59 |
| Virtual | bekks, I believe it's BCM4331 | 21:59 |
| bekks | Virtual: Most likely, it is BCM4313, and then b43 is the correct driver for it. | 22:00 |
| gabmus | now you have to clear all nvidia drivers you could have installed with this command "sudo apt-get -y purge nvidia*" | 22:00 |
| sydney_ | game Similar to Supertux? | 22:00 |
| Bashing-om | ThomasBS: Many times that distinction is not too clear. See what you have for keybord/mouse in general and the usb devices in particular ? Ya got a ps-2 keyboard laying around ? | 22:00 |
| andyfied | okay, doing first one now | 22:01 |
| gabmus | finally you can try and reinstall the drivers running "sudo apt-get install nvidia-319-updates" | 22:01 |
| bekks | sydney_: Then you have to learn how to program in the programming language of your choice, and you have to learn how to develop the elements you need, like program logics, graphics, etc. | 22:01 |
| andyfied | irony: the command console is on the correct resolution | 22:01 |
| gabmus | i'm not sure since im no more in 13.10 if the 319 driver needs the nvidia-sessings package | 22:01 |
| gabmus | andyfied: thats normal in lack of active drivers | 22:01 |
| ThomasBS | Bashing-om: To be honest, I dont even know what a PS2 keyboard is.. I guess its an old keyboard, yeah? Might be forced to bring my old laptop to work tomorrow to find an old keyboard then | 22:02 |
| ThomasBS | was just hoping there was another work around | 22:02 |
| gabmus | ThomasBS: the PS/2 plug is the round violet or green cable used to connect mouse or keyboards | 22:02 |
| ThomasBS | ah | 22:02 |
| ThomasBS | yeah I've only got USB | 22:02 |
| gabmus | everyone has only usb on modern laptops | 22:03 |
| gabmus | there are adapters | 22:03 |
| Virtual | bekks, yes, but I am getting slow wifi speeds and big latency when pinging the router. the same wifi adapter on Windows or Mac OS works excellent | 22:03 |
| ThomasBS | yeah this laptop only has usb | 22:03 |
| momo2 | anyone know? is there a simple gui way to dist-upgrade the distribution | 22:03 |
| bekks | momo2: A gui way to run the command "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? :) | 22:04 |
| Bashing-om | ThomasBS: Yeah, rge old keyboards were ps2, "round" connector. But if we are talking lter laptop, may not have a provision for that type of connection. Back to seeing what is in bios that one can change. Not always a solution there (server). | 22:04 |
| gabmus | momo2: dont be silly: why should you want a gui to run a console command? open up your terminal and write that command straight from command line! | 22:05 |
| andyfied | gabmus: the xsession things was not present, but i've purged all the drivers and 319-updates installes nvidia-settings as well | 22:05 |
| gabmus | also, command line is more efficient and easy to use than a gui | 22:05 |
| === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 | ||
| momo2 | bekks: only a gui way to update to higher distri (like dist-upgrade) | 22:05 |
| gabmus | andyfied: have you followed all the steps? | 22:05 |
| bekks | momo2: Just run the command: sudo do-release-upgrade | 22:06 |
| ThomasBS | Bashing-om: I've been staring myself blind in the bios for several hours (might be an overstatement) but there's really just a few options there.. and nothing about keyboard or anything unfortunately | 22:06 |
| andyfied | gabmus: yes, all 3 | 22:06 |
| bekks | momo2: No gui needed for a single command. | 22:06 |
| momo2 | gabmus: lets mean the gui way not the command | 22:06 |
| andyfied | drivers just installed fresh | 22:06 |
| gabmus | did you install the nvidia-settings-319 package too? | 22:06 |
| [TiZ] | Hi. How would I modify an ubuntu liveCD to boot from first hard disk by default? I can't do anything to get this bios computer to boot this gpt disk, but "boot from first hard disk" from the live CD works so I figure I'll just use that. | 22:06 |
| andyfied | gabmus: it installed automatically with the drivers | 22:06 |
| gabmus | momo2: still dont get what you want to do | 22:06 |
| ThomasBS | messing around with the isolinux.cfg has gotten me a few steps closer, but every time there's a need for a key to be pressed, im pretty much f**ked | 22:06 |
| gabmus | andyfied: perfect | 22:07 |
| gabmus | now run "sudo shutdown -h now" | 22:07 |
| gabmus | this will shut your pc down | 22:07 |
| gabmus | then turn it on again | 22:07 |
| gabmus | and see if anything as changed | 22:07 |
| momo2 | gabmus: i want to update to another release like dist-upgrade do but i dont want to use the command only a gui like the update manager. does it works easy? | 22:07 |
| bekks | gabmus: sudo init 6 would have done the same, as sudo shutdown -r now would have done | 22:07 |
| sadpuppy | distrowatch.com | 22:08 |
| gabmus | bekks: rarely reboot from console, too lazy to learn to reboot, so i just shut down and power on again. thank you | 22:08 |
| Bashing-om | ThomasBS: usb devices ? in general. Now, I am aware of a couple of cases where there is no solution to getting the keybord recognized in a server install. | 22:08 |
| daftykins | lol seriously? | 22:08 |
| daftykins | 'shutdown -r 0' | 22:08 |
| gabmus | momo2: thats not what dist-upgrade does | 22:08 |
| daftykins | :P | 22:08 |
| andyfied | gabmus: it's still in the wrong resolution | 22:09 |
| momo2 | ah is see | 22:09 |
| gabmus | andyfied: what the hell really | 22:09 |
| andyfied | gabmus: yeah, i know | 22:09 |
| gabmus | momo2: if you want to do that run "update-manager -d" on a terminal | 22:09 |
| andyfied | gabmus: i mean, i'm no expert, but this is nuts | 22:09 |
| momo2 | so it is easy with gui to update to another release to have ubuntu over years? | 22:09 |
| gabmus | momo2: kind of | 22:10 |
| bekks | momo2: apt-get dist-upgrade updates all packages in the same release, while do-release-upgrade upgrades to a new release. You are well advised to not do the latter from a gui, because your gui will break during update and you will be left with a partial update. | 22:10 |
| ThomasBS | Bashing-om: usb devices? i've only got my USB stick created with Universal USB installer .. The laptop boots the stick perfectly but keyboard is a no go on the laptop | 22:10 |
| momo2 | so there is no secure gui way to be update over years? | 22:10 |
| gabmus | andyfied: well, there is NO driver at all that can be active and suppress the nvidia one. so X just doesn't know it has to use it | 22:11 |
| bekks | momo2: And using 12.04, you will get updates until 2017, and with 14.04, you will get updates until 2019. So you actually can use it for years without a gui for updating. | 22:11 |
| tables | how do i check what packager a file belongs to? | 22:11 |
| gabmus | you can try installing the driver from the .run file nvidia provides | 22:11 |
| tables | like /usr/sbin/apache2 i wanna know what package it belongs to | 22:11 |
| Slart | table you can use the !find command in here.. or apt-file | 22:11 |
| momo2 | okay | 22:11 |
| sadpuppy | sourceforage multi boot from usb thumb drive | 22:11 |
| gabmus | andyfied: go here and download your .run file http://www.nvidia.it/Download/index.aspx?lang=it | 22:11 |
| Slart | !find nvidia-xconfig | tables | 22:11 |
| ubottu | tables: File nvidia-xconfig found in nvidia-173, nvidia-304, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-319, nvidia-319-updates | 22:11 |
| tables | what does that have to do with nvidia? | 22:11 |
| andyfied | gabmus: yeah, but i'm not sure why nvidia-xconfig has disappeared either | 22:11 |
| Slart | tables: ubottu will search the packages for you and tell you which packages contain the file | 22:12 |
| Slart | tables: just an example | 22:12 |
| dnull | guys | 22:12 |
| dnull | for flash | 22:12 |
| bekks | Slart: ubottu is not the package manager ;) | 22:12 |
| gabmus | andyfied: the .run file usually fixes a lot of things. let's try it | 22:12 |
| bekks | tables: you can use dpkg for various searches. | 22:12 |
| dnull | i installed extras but it doesnt work | 22:12 |
| andyfied | gabmus: i have the nvidia drivers so i'll try them again, i was blaming it for messing it up in the first place | 22:12 |
| bekks | gabmus: It usually breaks things. It will break with every kernel update. | 22:12 |
| gabmus | you already have the .run? | 22:12 |
| dnull | how do i get flash to work? | 22:13 |
| dnull | anyone? | 22:13 |
| tables | what dpkg parameter is it? | 22:13 |
| gabmus | bekks: yes, but it will fix X | 22:13 |
| Slart | bekks: if you put on some smooth music and dim the lights ubottu will be whatever you want it to be =) | 22:13 |
| bekks | andyfied: Do NOT use the .run until you know how to fix issues with X. | 22:13 |
| gabmus | at least, it did with me | 22:13 |
| bekks | !nvidia | andyfied | 22:13 |
| dnull | Anybody help????? | 22:13 |
| ubottu | andyfied: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:13 |
| momo2 | bekks: and without lts its not save possible like mentioned, because i dont want to use old lts progs | 22:13 |
| andyfied | gabmus: yeah, i got the correct one, but it didn't seem to make much differnce | 22:13 |
| dnull | guysss? | 22:13 |
| andyfied | bekks: sadly too late, it might have caused the issues in the first place | 22:13 |
| bekks | momo2: Without LTS, you have to run do-release-upgrade every 9 months. | 22:13 |
| dnull | ANYBODY? | 22:14 |
| gabmus | andyfied: how disappointing. at this time i would have just re-installed the whole system. i'm sorry, but today i failed :\ | 22:14 |

| gabmus | dnull: DONT BE PUSHY | 22:14 |
| momo2 | bekks: right? is breaking the command terminal command safer? | 22:14 |
| Slart | dnull: I get flash to work by installing it.. you haven't really given us much to work with.. we don't even know what kind of ubuntu you're running | 22:14 |
| andyfied | gabmus: it's okay, i'm glad someone has shown me i've done everything i could so far | 22:14 |
| momo2 | bekks: ok | 22:14 |
| bekks | momo2: No one said you will break the command line terminal. The shell you are running the command in will not be broken until you leave it. | 22:15 |
| dnull | Slart: i have ubuntu 12.04 | 22:15 |
| gabmus | andyfied: I'm sorry mate | 22:15 |
| Slart | dnull: ok, and what browser are you using? | 22:15 |
| gabmus | i keep the system in a separate partition from my home partition so that when I have to rei | 22:15 |
| dnull | Slart: firefoxx and chromium | 22:15 |
| gabmus | reinstall | 22:15 |
| andyfied | gabmus: bekks: thanks for the help. i'm going to sleep and i'll have another go tomorrow | 22:15 |
| momo2 | mhhh the shell is the gui too | 22:15 |
| gabmus | i dont lose my files | 22:15 |
| gabmus | andyfied: np, sorry i couldnt help. gnight | 22:15 |
| gr33n7007h | dnull, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 22:16 |
| bekks | momo2: Thats why you do not run a graphical terminal for do-release-upgrade but run that command from a console. Press ctrl alt f1 to get one, e.g. | 22:16 |
| Slart | dnull: and finally.. what have you tried so far? are you following some kind of guide? | 22:16 |

| momo2 | bekks: i really dont want to tell my neighbor that he should open a terminal or switch to vt1 he dont want that so the secureness of both gui command line or gui update manager methods are the same? | 22:18 |

| rww | hi | 22:46 |
| Coover55 | So here's my problem: Upon trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 (from an external hard drive, installing to a different partition on the same drive), everything seems to run smooth at first. The Live CD (or Live USB if you prefer) works perfectly, and installing goes almost without a hitch. Until I get to the point where I've finished setting up my partitions (partition for install and my swap area). | 22:46 |
| Coover55 | After I begin installing, it will give me an error saying that it failed to unmount /CDROM/ or something along those lines. I press continue and it continues. I can set up my location, user profile, etc., but after all that it gets stuck on "Detecting file systems...", not moving from there. The last thing in the box shown is "Step_before = stepWebcam". Can anyone help me with this? | 22:46 |

| pycoderf | hi all. i am setting up an ltsp server and i installed the mate desktop. for some reason my clients cannot login, however normal ssh works fine | 22:50 |
| pycoderf | anyone have ideas why | 22:50 |
| Coover55 | Back. | 22:52 |
| Beldar | Coover55, Not an ideal use is all. Are you trying make a portable install? | 22:52 |
| Coover55 | More or less. I have Windows 8.1 installed on my laptop at the moment, but I like Ubuntu more (from experience on the Live CD) | 22:53 |
| Coover55 | I don't think I'll be using it on any other computer but I just want to have the install on my ext hard drive anyway | 22:54 |
| pycoderf | anyone had the issue with mate not logging in? | 22:55 |
| Coover55 | I'm sort of new to Linux-based systems but nonetheless I know that installing to an ext hard drive IS possible, just apparently not easy | 22:55 |
| Coover55 | And yes I have my install partition set to ext4 format | 22:56 |
| Beldar | Coover55, W8 is uefi and gpt, if it were possible I would use a flash drive with a full install. Again not ideal, ubuntu can be dualbooted. | 22:56 |
| pycoderf | ok it seems the issue is any X desktop | 22:56 |
| Coover55 | It could be dual-booted but it doesn't detect my W8 install | 22:56 |
| k1l | pycoderf: which ubuntu is that? | 22:56 |
| Coover55 | And I changed boot type from UEFI | 22:56 |
| Coover55 | 12.04 | 22:56 |
| pycoderf | k1l: 13.10 | 22:56 |
| Coover55 | What? | 22:57 |
| pycoderf | i am building an ltsp server and this worked 2 weeks ago. unsure what changed but i did a clean install and no x login | 22:57 |
| === pcdummy_ is now known as pcdummy | ||
| Beldar | Coover55, Unless you have changed the partition tables(s) it is still gpt. | 22:57 |
| Coover55 | I did | 22:57 |
| Coover55 | Or rather my dad did. He works in this kinda stuff so I know he knows what he's doing | 22:57 |
| Beldar | Coover55, How? | 22:58 |
| Coover55 | Not sure, but I know he did it | 22:58 |
| k1l | pycoderf: most devs from mate sit in the mint corner. so if its only not working with mate i would ask them for specific support of mate | 22:58 |

| Coover55 | And I don't see any point in making a recovery CD for W8 if I'm not going to effect it | 23:06 |
| Coover55 | Sorry, Beldar. Those last two messages were at you I forgot to put your name there haha | 23:06 |
| Beldar | Coover55, cool, best if luck. | 23:06 |
| Beldar | of* | 23:06 |
| Coover55 | Beldar, that's not really very helpful. You've told me everything I already know | 23:07 |
| Caleb-- | is there any way to launch a specific terminal from command-line and make its window be always on top? | 23:07 |
| pycoderf | k1l: am i missing somethibng | 23:07 |
| k1l | pycoderf: sry, dont know | 23:08 |
| pycoderf | it is odd its any x11 | 23:08 |
| k1l | pycoderf: maybe pastebin the .xsession-errors | 23:08 |
| k1l | or other error messages you ger | 23:08 |
| pycoderf | its a vm but i can screenshot | 23:08 |
| k1l | *get | 23:09 |
| Coover55 | Beldar, are you still there or do you really not have more help for me? | 23:09 |
| k1l | if you can ssh use pastbinit | 23:09 |
| jhutchins | Coover55: The people in here are just fellow users, often just waiting for their own questions to be answered. We try to be helpful when we can, but this isn't a paid helpdesk. | 23:11 |

| jhutchins | Coover55: The best way to get help is to ask the question generally instead of insisting on help from a specific user. It's possible nobody knows your particular problem. | 23:11 |
| Coover55 | jhutchins, I know that, but you can't just tell someone "Yeah good luck" and then ignore them | 23:12 |
| pycoderf | k1l: see just like i said | 23:12 |
| Coover55 | It's a bit rude | 23:12 |
| bazhang | !attitude | Coover55 | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Coover55: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 23:12 |
| Coover55 | Attitude? | 23:13 |
| Coover55 | I don't even have an attitude. | 23:13 |
| bazhang | Coover55, dont target users, ask every 15 mins or so | 23:13 |
| jhutchins | Coover55: Sounds like you have a bad installer. Have you verified the md5sum of the iso file and of the burned disc? | 23:13 |
| Coover55 | I'm not using a disc to install. I put all the ISO info onto my external hard drive | 23:14 |
| Coover55 | So I can do that without the need of a disc. | 23:14 |
| bazhang | iso info? | 23:14 |
| Coover55 | ISO Downloaded directly from official Ubuntu site, bazhang | 23:14 |
| bazhang | did you unpack the iso? | 23:15 |
| Coover55 | Indeed. My dad changed some stuff around though because it wasn't working perfect so I'm not sure how it's arranged right now. | 23:15 |
| k1l | pycoderf: is something interessting in xorg log in /var/log? | 23:15 |
| bazhang | how did you get the iso on the disk | 23:15 |
| pycoderf | k1l: i dont have that log | 23:16 |
| Coover55 | bazhang, When I did it I just extracted the files from the ISO straight to the hard drive. | 23:16 |
| bazhang | Coover55, that wont work | 23:16 |
| Coover55 | Clicking "Try Ubuntu without installing" works perfect, despite some drivers | 23:16 |
| Coover55 | Just graphics drivers issues | 23:16 |
| k1l | Xorg.0.log pycoderf | 23:17 |
| pycoderf | no | 23:17 |
| Coover55 | Actually now that I think about it I used a program to install the ISO properly to my External Drive | 23:18 |
| Coover55 | Don't remember the name but it worked | 23:18 |
| Coover55 | Just kinda upset cuz I've tried to install this around 10 times now and it hasn't worked any of those times | 23:20 |
| Coover55 | Hm, this is new | 23:20 |
| Coover55 | New line in the installation | 23:20 |
| Coover55 | It says "(root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report .etc.cron.hourly) | 23:21 |
| Coover55 | Without the quotation marks, my bad | 23:21 |
| Coover55 | Actually there's a few lines I've missed wince I was here on this chat | 23:22 |
| Coover55 | Should I assume it's just going EXTREMELY slow? It shouldn't be, it's USB 3.0 and it's never been slow in the past... | 23:22 |
| pycoderf | k1l: i do not have that log anywhere | 23:23 |
| plazma_ | plazmax | 23:23 |
| === plazma_ is now known as Guest97831 | ||
| Coover55 | Hm, actually I have another question for now | 23:24 |
| pycoderf | anyone else know why permission would be denied to x sessions? | 23:25 |
| Coover55 | If I install Ubuntu to the external hard drive from a different computer than that I intend to use it on, should I still be able to use that install on the computer I DO intend to use it on? | 23:25 |
| === Guest97831 is now known as plazmax | ||
| Bashing-om | Coover55: ->to a different computer, maybe yes - maybe not so yes. When installing, the kernel is compiled for what hardware is present. The other system may be drastically different. | 23:29 |
| Coover55 | Hmmm | 23:30 |
| Coover55 | Well I have 8GB of RAM on intended PC, and less powerful GPU | 23:30 |
| capoderra | can somebody help me tweak my fan on my sony vaio? I used to run Ubuntu on this laptop, but uninstalled it after it overheated a couple times. I want the fan to spin faster even if it means being loud. | 23:30 |
| Coover55 | 4GB of RAM on THIS PC, and a more powerful GPU | 23:31 |
| capoderra | I'm running 12.04 on a live USB | 23:31 |
| Coover55 | Bashing-om sorry, those msgs were intended for you | 23:31 |
| Coover55 | Forgot to put your name | 23:31 |
| Coover55 | And brb | 23:32 |
| capoderra | in /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/ there is a file that's called thermal_control | 23:32 |
| capoderra | inside the file it says "balanced" | 23:32 |
| Bashing-om | Coover55: What you run into is different cpu's, different hardwares, different drivers required, and of course checkings/altering UUIDs as needed. | 23:33 |
| === plazma__ is now known as plazmax | ||
| capoderra | there's another file called thermal_profiles and inside it has "balanced silent performance" | 23:34 |
| wjlafrance | Bashing-on: doesn't ubuntu use a precompiled kernel? | 23:36 |
| icloud | i tried to create a cache folder for chrome in /tmp, i put the script in /etc/rc.local but the folder is never created on boot, can someone help? | 23:36 |

| Coover55 | Bashing-on: Is there a way to update / correct / whatever-you-want-to-call-it the kernel when I launch on my laptop? | 23:39 |
| pycoderf | anyone else have ideas why my clients cannot log in | 23:42 |
| Aikar | how can i make apt-get ignore a dependency error and forget about it permanently? percona 5.6 forgot to specify the line that says it provides mysql-common like 5.5 had and now workbench is trying to install normal 5.5 stuff and remove percona. PErcona and workbench works fine... i need it to ignore the dependency issue | 23:46 |
| Aikar | and trying to downgrade to 5.5 percona totally didnt work either | 23:46 |
| in_deep_thought | what is the directory in which the home directory called? how can I copy files into it? | 23:46 |
| pdo_fn14 | in_deep_thought: do you mean dir: /home/UserName, which UserNme can be changed depend your username on your ubuntu OS. | 23:49 |
| Dan | hey all | 23:50 |
| Dan | anyone can help me out here? | 23:51 |
| in_deep_thought | when I open a new terminal and it shows alex@alex-ThinkPad-T410, I want to know the name of that directory | 23:51 |
| k1l | in_deep_thought: "pwd" | 23:51 |
| k1l | in_deep_thought: and that folder is /home/user by default | 23:51 |
| Dan | Where do i put all my website files in ubuntu serv 12.04 | 23:52 |
| Dan | ? | 23:52 |
| in_deep_thought | so how can I copy files into it? I tried copying a file into /home/user but when I do that, then open a new terminal and enter ls, it doesn't show my copied file | 23:52 |
| Coover55 | Can anybody else help me with my installation problems? | 23:53 |
| Bashing-om | Coover55: wjlafrance ; Now we are getting deep. magic does happen. Adjustments are made in the kernel between what is loaded into as a ram image, and what gets written back to the hard drive. | 23:53 |
| in_deep_thought | oh nvm I did it with sudo cp -r | 23:53 |
| k1l | in_deep_thought: you need to change user with your actual user name | 23:53 |
| k1l | in_deep_thought: and dont ever user sudo where no sudo is needed | 23:53 |
| Coover55 | Bashing-on: So basically you're saying if I can install it successfully on another computer it would work on my laptop? | 23:54 |
| Bashing-om | in_deep_thought: try as : cp <file> /home/alex/<file> ... short hand ~/ == /home/alex . Hope this helps. | 23:58 |
