[00:01] charco: did you enable the option ROM in BIOS? [00:03] daftykins, option rom? I have a SATA Configuration >> SATA Mode Selection >> RAID [00:03] daftykins, my disk came with a raid0 setup but I messed up :( [00:03] charco, whats your motherboard model number [00:04] ejuan, it's a notebook (ux301LA) how can I check? [00:04] sounds like a fakeraid [00:04] either way you'd want to put Windows on first, naturally [00:05] is it one of those silly 2 x SSD's ones? [00:05] Yep [00:05] daftykins, all the tutorials said otherwise :/ [00:05] like "first setup linux and then windows" [00:05] create the raid from linux and then install windows [00:06] 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] lol RAID inside Linux, how cute [00:06] charco: nope that's an incredibly terrible idea [00:06] are they small SSDs so you want to RAID to pool the capacity? [00:07] daftykins, exactly [00:07] charco, your probably better off just installing ubuntu on one disk and windows on the other [00:07] RobDude: I'm still beginner user, would you classified clearly about fstab?. I'm still confused about " " in fstab file? [00:08] 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] install Windows, load up a LiveCD, do things to support RAID until you see one disk instead of two - install, done \o/ [00:08] !trusty | ron__ [00:08] 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 [00:09] !trusty [00:09] 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] ron__: see the other channel mentioned? ask in there. [00:09] I am sorry. I'm so new to all of this. Especially iRc. [00:10] * daftykins unloads the spud gun [00:10] ok - this time. [00:10] I am attempting to transition from Windows and use Ubuntu as my daily driver. I apologize for the ignorance. [00:10] 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] 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] (sorry, I don't understand :( ) [00:11] 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 [00:12] charco: it may even be hidden on that laptop so just pressing the key combo repeatedly after power on might get somewhere [00:12] 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 [00:13] 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 [00:14] You were talking about the #ubuntu+1 channel correct? [00:14] daftykins, ok, I will try that.. I have to burn the iso to a usb [00:14] Thank you :) [00:14] ron__: yes, join it [00:14] 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] okay I am there. not much activity. I will hang out for a response. thanks [00:15] charco: well... you don't have any other storage [00:15] 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) [00:16] daftykins, yeah, I thought so, but in the ubuntu tutorial they create it in individual partitions :/ [00:16] 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] does anyone know of a program that can take in a text file full of grayscale values and display an image? [00:16] Ok.. I have to get a windows computer in order to create the usb installer for windows. Fuck you windows. [00:16] charco: sounds like you're just following a guide for the wrong thing === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [00:17] charco: please don't use rudes here! :) [00:17] sorry :P [00:17] mikodo: run "sudo blkid" to get UUIDs [00:17] mikodo: may not even need sudo [00:17] this is the one I read that used partitions for the raid http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 [00:17] oh wait i may've jumped the gun [00:17] daftykins, I have used blkid, I just want to write out the command correctly [00:18] mikodo: how many times are you going to perform this copy? :) [00:19] daftykins, not much for this, [00:20] daftykins, when I make a symblink to my /mnt then should I definately use the UUID? [00:21] mikodo: if you're mounting this device permanently then you'd have it in /etc/fstab [00:21] i don't understand what you're struggling with i'm afraid :) [00:21] daftykins, correct with fstab, but should i use the UUID [00:21] sure [00:22] 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] you realise why the choice right? [00:22] daftykins, incase things change? [00:22] UUIDs are to preserve mounts even if disk numbering change due to unplugging / replugging [00:22] so if you see that happening - UUIDs, if not, partitions [00:22] daftykins, Thanks buddy! over and out! [00:23] ^_^ [00:23] the8thbit, use numeric chmod === gonyere_ is now known as gonyere [00:24] 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] the8thbit, what do you want the file restricted to? root only? then do: `chown root:root /path/to/file` and `chmod 700` [00:24] er sorry - nevermind [00:24] the8thbit, no other users will be able to see it then. [00:24] I don't know what I'm talking about - sorry [00:24] *600 would suffice [00:24] daftykins, 600 adds the +x bit? [00:25] they want read/write/execute for root only [00:25] teward: What do you mean by 'see'? [00:25] sec lemme wind the handle on my brain a bit more [00:25] the8thbit, by "see" i mean that users won't be able to access the specific file [00:25] ah okay [00:25] thanks [00:25] daftykins, 600 is read/write, but i thought 700 was read/write/exec [00:25] daftykins, (for file owner) [00:26] teward: I don't understand the root:root notation [00:26] ah actually 500 i'm thinking [00:26] the8thbit, it just changes the owner so that only root owns the file [00:26] r,,x = 4 + 1 = 5 [00:26] the8thbit, in the off-chance that `root` doesn't already own the file [00:26] 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 [00:27] 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] teward: :) i don't know if any quirks would come up without write though, guess it depends on the file [00:27] the8thbit: user:group [00:27] ah, okay [00:27] the8thbit, because there is a 'root' group as well. user:group is the notation. [00:27] thanks dafty [00:27] the8thbit, root:root = root user and root group [00:27] thanks teward [00:27] the8thbit: although interestingly if both are to be the same, one need only write "user:" [00:27] ^ [00:27] daftykins, although i love the verbosity of defining it by hand :) [00:28] (like root:root) [00:28] :) [00:28] no harm in being sure! [00:28] truth [00:28] 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? [00:29] the8thbit, 700 restricts it to root [00:29] okay, thanks! [00:29] 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. [00:30] 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. [00:31] ohh, they're two different commands [00:31] 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] Yeah, 700 is better for me [00:32] This might be a stupid question but - for things like chmod - they are all the same in all the distros, right? [00:33] thanks, ls -l helped [00:33] RobDude, some things aren't different between distros (like chmod) but you can't be certain of that for all distros [00:37] teward: Thanks. [00:38] But if I get the source code for the ubuntu distro from git - it'd be included in there, right? [00:38] Or is it just the kernel [00:40] 'source code for a distro' heh [00:40] daftykins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/SourceCode [00:40] RobDude: every single package that makes it up, plus the kernel source maybe ;) [00:40] RobDude: i do not need to be taught what kernel source code is my good man [00:41] I was just pasting the link to illustrate what I was referring to [00:41] Not implying you needed to be taught.

[02:59] noobey: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [02:59] noobey: among other ways, like software center, synaptic, etc. [03:00] how can I permanently disable my wlan0? it always reconnects and messes things up until I go to a terminal and do ifconfig wlan0 down [03:00] i have to do it again every few minutes sometimes [03:00] Change the config file [03:01] which config file? [03:02] I'm not sure where it's located on Ubuntu [03:02] Hold on [03:02] 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] noobey: it should be running now, try putty from the windows machine now. [03:03] I think it's /etc/networks [03:03] interfaces? [03:03] Yeah [03:04] Xcuse me, where store stock icon to be called on .desktop file without path and extension? [03:04] inside /etc/network/interfaces is two lines "auto lo","iface lo inet loopback" any suggestions on how to modify it? [03:04] That's all that is inside of it? [03:04] noobey read back the url ubottu gave you what to do with ssh, it is more than just install it and run [03:05] SchrodingersScat: Is it an issue that these 2 computers are on the same wi-fi network? [03:05] yes, my network devices are eth0, lo, and wlan0 === samh_afk is now known as samhassell [03:05] i have heard I can blacklist the module (which I could do) but someone told me there is an easier/better/more direct way [03:05] I'm not sure how to change it in Ubuntu, I've done it plenty of times in Fedora and such. [03:06] ok thanks [03:06] noobey: if you can reach port 22 on the machine then you should be good. [03:07] SchrodingersScat: ok. [03:08] SchrodingersScat, Okay, it connected. It asked me for a login and password though. not sure what it wants there. [03:09] SchrodingersScat, I never got to see any settings for that. [03:09] probably whatever you use to login to the machine [03:09] noobey: any valid user/pass that you normally use on the machine [03:09] Ubuntu boots without a login.. [03:09] never required one.. [03:09] maybe i have to create a user [03:09] noobey: what do you enter when you sudo? [03:09] SchrodingersScat, I enter the root password [03:10] !root | noobey [03:10] 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] SchrodingersScat, I used the root password...and it won't let me connect using that. [03:10] there is no root password? [03:10] odd..i have one. [03:11] noobey: got me there, wouldn't the account still have a password? Despite the auto-login. [03:11] yea it does that.. [03:11] but that password wont allow putty to connect [03:14] SchrodingersScat, Okay I got it. [03:15] SchrodingersScat, Putty is not very user friendly I see. I was hoping for something where I could look at the actual desktop. [03:15] SchrodingersScat, I am going to have to use commands with Putty. [03:15] !vnc | noobey [03:15] 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 [03:17] noobey: that link has a 'vnc software' section that might be what you want [03:17] ok t [03:17] ack ty === Zachary_DuBois|A is now known as Zachary_DuBois [03:21] Where to store icons which can be called on .desktop file without path and extension?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:24] I just ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on my ubuntu 14 optimus laptop and nvidia-prime has ceased working. Specifically, the GLX extension is no longer available in X, and xrandr --listproviders only lists intel. [03:24] how do I fix this? [03:25] and how do I prevent it from recurring?

[03:46] you'd think, eh c2 [03:47] FoF_RooBah, did you reply to my question? [03:47] yea sorta ;) [03:48] Yes, just hold your mouse in the left hand.. [03:48] rof [03:48] I don't get the whole concept of a "left handed" mouse. [03:48] @wiky : did you mean one here : https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-building.html? Look at this question then : http://askubuntu.com/questions/101306/how-do-i-install-gtk-3-0 [03:48] my bro in law is lefty i get it [03:48] FoF_RooBah, Xeddy1, by left hand means switching primary buttons. [03:48] anyone know anything about getting nvidia-prime to work? [03:48] I use a regular mouse myself in my left hand (or right) without any issues, c2tarun [03:49] I'd feel it strange if the buttons were swapped over [03:49] It's confusing [03:49] @Ralith : install bumblebee ? have you done so. [03:49] lefties are ssame with rh [03:49] ;) [03:49] Alfazza: nvidia-prime obsoletes bumblebee.

[03:57] I'm currently using FGLRX, anyone know how much the open source radeon drivers have improved for 7000 series? [03:57] Beryl Quite a bit, bur [03:58] But you'll have to be on 3.14 and Mesa 10.1 [03:58] whats the command for tvtime, to set window size, when in windowed mode? [03:59] 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 [04:00] Xeddy1: well i run skyrim in wine... which strangely works better on fglrx than nvidia due to a variety of bugs [04:00] Well Bethesda games have always been better on ATI [04:01] and valve games whooo [04:01] :) [04:01] It's strange though, all windows valve games are optimised for ATi but on on linux they favour nvidia [04:02] FGLRX is very slow but I don't have X completely crap out or shader errors like on my 8800 with nvidia, hmm [04:02] well, where a channel for gtk themer? [04:03] Alfazza: gtk theming is kinda broken, because gtk is kinda broken lol [04:03] Alfalfa #gtk ? [04:03] @Beryl : yeah..! I think so. ANd I'm going to fix mine. Hahaha..

[04:46] How might i go about getting Gnome Dwell on Saucy? [04:49] I just upgraded an optimus laptop and suddenly nvidia-prime has stopped working--nvidia-settings things everything's okay, but GLX doesn't load and xrandr doesn't list any providers other than intel. Anyone have any advice? [04:50] Ralith: yep, don't modify your question so that it's non-obvious that you're using trusty. [04:51] nvidia optimus is evil [04:51] that's not helpful [04:51] Ralith: neither is asking for help with a non-released version of Ubuntu in the regular support channel, because we don't do trusty yet.

I've tried nomodeset but that throws a get_identity error. Any advice? [06:04] AndrewRyan, Have you checked the ISO's sum? Burned as an image? [06:04] I have checked the sum and it matches [06:05] I can get to the screen which lets you choose between "try without installing" or installing options [06:06] anything after that however, is just a blank screen. === VoidWhisperer is now known as Guest72991 [06:08] AndrewRyan, Assuming the disc is bootable, I would check the hardware against xubuntu on askubuntu and the web.

[07:53] np man [07:53] There are a lot of people in here, figured there would be more chatter [07:54] gooses89: run it inside of screen [07:54] e.g. screen do-release-upgrade [07:54] 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] Safer than doing it through ssh? [07:55] you'd ssh in, then run screen do-release-upgrade [07:55] yeah I realized it'd be in SSH anyway after I said that haha [07:55] :) [07:55] Never used screen before, what's screen do anyway? [07:56] (just realized, it might not be installed by default. the package name is also screen) [07:56] 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 [07:57] ah. alright. [07:57] Similar to tmux? [07:57] oh, if you're familiar with tmux use that instead :) [07:57] (yes, very similar) [07:57] I have briefly used tmux [07:58] been playing with linux for about three weeks [07:58] Friend used it so we could see the same thing. [08:00] 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. [08:01] I seem to re-install ubuntu 12.04 weekly. [08:03] It's so bad, I actually wrote a script to re-install all my software automaticly. [08:03] Heh. [08:03] Glad I dont have to deal with that. [08:03] hey! [08:03] I'm just doing some webhosting and mysql stuff right now. [08:04] In all fairness, I am running ubuntu on a P4... It still has a floppy drive.

[08:05] i'm having troblem in partition [08:05] I have been trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 on my system along with windows 7. [08:05] 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] 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] Let me guess, are you trying to install it with windows? [08:05] sway, i just installed it on a P4 3GHz prescott machine :) [08:05] My total HDD space is 500 GB though some of it is unavailable. [08:05] yes [08:06] What version of windows do you have installed? [08:06] a dual boot and i have some data on 2 seperate partitions which ubuntu shows as 1 [08:06] win 7 [08:06] ubuntu does not also show any free space [08:07] u can see the screenshot in this post [08:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2211265 [08:09] Hi guys [08:09] hey :) [08:10] Think I've made a school boy error upgrading to 14.10... [08:10] typically windows has a small partition for it's boot, and a hidden partition containing it's recovery OS. [08:10] okay that 101 mb i suppose [08:10] I've lost my UI and desktop 😀 [08:10] I recently installa Pinguy OS, when i m going to update it through terminal given error comes [08:10] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [08:10] E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ [08:10] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [08:10] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[08:11] Ubuntu, was 13.10 [08:11] 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 [08:12] Kartikey: I would not dual boot unless you want to rebuild your windows boot file from dos [08:12] kungr: i didn't understand [08:12] Well the lock issue just means another package program is currently using it, or may have terminated with out removing the locks. [08:12] i would recommend doing a real dual boot within the bios option [08:12] can you explain [08:13] will it result in a data loss [08:13] what will be the steps?? [08:13] well linux grub encorporates the windows boot. [08:14] if you eventually delete your ubuntu install you will loose your windows boot file and have to do a dos repair [08:14] 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] I've had problems with dual boots with windows.... destroyed both operating systems. [08:14] Kungr: what are you on about a "dos repair" ?? [08:14] DOS is dead [08:14] i think its cmd, is it??? [08:14] just my lesson learned was if you have two harddrives dual boot through the motherboard bios and not sided by side install [08:15] Kungr: thats just weak advice [08:15] kartikey: you seem to understand the implications of using the recovery shell to put the windows boot loader back on the mbr [08:15] well not articulate i agree [08:16] 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] yes cmd [08:16] okay so what should i do now???

[08:56] tozen: easy on the insults.. no need for it [08:56] Polaris: sudo apt-get install xorg should work [08:56] I thought I tried that, but I'll try again. [08:57] why its names SUDO [08:57] Polaris: are you actually on ubuntu? theres no reason to compile xorg on ubuntu [08:57] Yes. [08:57] judekn0x: sudo apt-get remove watchdog http://linux.die.net/man/8/watchdog [08:57] 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] 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 [08:59] 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] 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.

[09:03] its a silly question that has already been answered anyway [09:03] 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] Hoping this works. Thanks regardless. [09:03] ok brb [09:03] doin that next [09:04] Polaris: uh, git is not the correct way of installing stuff on ubuntu either. use apt-get [09:04] Polaris: if you don't know to how to compile so there is readme file in the archive located [09:05] 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 [09:06] The problem is I have no idea where else to get this particular package, Ben64 [09:06] It's a Wacom tablet driver [09:07] Polaris: xorg is not a tablet driver... [09:07] Well no [09:07] gooses89 nothing to put there unless you want to use ipv6 [09:07] Polaris, wacom HAS a linux driver! [09:07] But the tablet driver says that it needs Xorg [09:07] The tablet light comes on but the settings for it do not recogonize it. [09:07] @cfhowlett [09:07] and xorg is the whole graphical interface server thingy, so if you have gui, you already have xorg [09:08] Polaris: oh.. hope that works for you. Good luck [09:09] 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] I'm not sure, in all honesty. [09:10] http://pastebin.com/3b3evWae [09:10] Polaris: i believe you're looking in the wrong direction on all this [09:10] It would not surprise me. [09:10] please tell me what that is im using ubuntu [09:11] All I have to work with is the fact that the tablet registers when I run lsusb, but does not work regardless.

[09:24] bekks: I've done it but it says there is no such command: manpath [09:24] Toxmi: Because that isnt a command. [09:24] I've tried export $MANPAH also with or without parantesis [09:25] In the bash profile, you set: MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/texlive/... and afterwards you run: ". ~/.bash_profile" [09:25] lol [09:25] bekks: so I don't need to add ;export after path? [09:26] manpath=$manpath/......; export manpath [09:26] bekks: Ok, Thanks I'll try that [09:26] Toxmi: /etc/manpath.config [09:26] Toxmi: manpath is different from MANPATH -- and you have to export the variable you set, yes.

Then i push this text "a" to the end of the file by using echo a >> a.xxx.

[09:57] cfhowlett; then [09:58] 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] Tasab, use hplip to add/manage devices. or you might try CUPS [09:58] sysfor: try ibus exit in terminal [09:58] AmbiguousOutlier not sure what that is? [09:58] sysfor: Can you ssh into the system from another computer to diagnose it that way? [09:59] bekks: one question though [09:59] fa7ad7: Dont ask to ask, please just ask. [09:59] Will it work on a binary file [09:59] 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] Like say a .exe file [09:59] fa7ad7: you dont use echo .. >> ... with binary files. [09:59] ill see [10:00] Is it NVidia binary X.Org driver ('current' driver) ? [10:00] LonelyDanbo: Yes. [10:00] What happens when i do? [10:00] 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] fa7ad7: You might break that file entirely. [10:00] fa7ad7: use dd skip/count/bs for binary files [10:00] bekks, thanks. So I guess the non-proprietary one is the one called uh... Nuvaue or something? [10:01] Ok thanks guys [10:01] LonelyDanbo: nouveau is the opensource driver, yes. [10:01] ok, thanks. [10:05] 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] does (X)ubuntu need that 3rd party software it mentioned during installation to play audio? [10:06] LonelyDanbo, if the audio is proprietary - yes. [10:06] cjmac: So the enclosure is somehow "optimized" for Mac and in fact just borks whatever it does :) [10:07] the audio? file or hardware? [10:07] MP3 on a... [10:07] 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] LonelyDanbo, .mp3 is proprietary [10:07] mici, bekks: Thanks. I figured it was the enclosure doing weird things... *sigh* [10:08] next nas was just a shitty laptop connected to a 2tb usb disk :) never again a shitty one [10:08] Realtek® ALC887 [10:08] sorry cursing and ot [10:08] LonelyDanbo, .mp3 format is proprietary. you'd need the 3rd party software [10:09] k. [10:18] 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] what could be the issue? [10:23] any help to my problem? [10:26] sorry, hillary. I don't know much about Ubuntu, and it's pretty early in the morning American time. [10:26] you should try searching the internet for the error. [10:27] and see if the description of the problem matches yous. [10:27] I know I came across an issue with "broken" packages, but that's probably something different. [10:27] I installed Ubuntu 12.04 recently and it won't recognize my build in audio [10:27] ok thank you though [10:28] I cannot play any sounds. [10:28] Tried alsamixer and pulseaudio [10:28] gargsms, I had a problem like that. I had to edit some file to make my audio some "generic" device. [10:28] I think because my motherboard is too new. [10:29] I think my MoBo is too old. :p [10:29] oh. [10:29] It works fine on Windows [10:29] I dunno. search for ubuntu and your motherboard model (if it's onboard sound) [10:30] I have a graphics card installed and Ubuntu would only recognize the card [10:30] not the onboard [10:30] gargsms: Thats most likely because the onboard GPU is to be disabled in the BIOS when installing an additional GPU. [10:31] Maybe. I will have a look at BIOS Settings. Thanks bekks [10:31] That wont help. [10:31] o.O [10:32] In almost all use cases, the onboard GPU is siabled when using an external GPU. So you will never "see" it. [10:32] I will try removing the external GPU. [10:32] Why? [10:33] Because it doesn't have an audio out [10:33] Graphic cards never have audio ports. [10:33] Thats why they are called graphic cards, and not sound cards.

[12:22] hi guys [12:22] Is that ubuntu help channel? [12:22] iQuad, it is [12:23] ironhoof_, any chance you skipped a step/package during install? [12:23] 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] iQuad, actually deleted? unnecessary - [12:23] But grub is not working well, I tried everything.. boot-repair, search, grub command prompt etc [12:24] 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] cfhowlett: that's Ok I wanted clean install.. [12:24] but now grub says: "boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod" [12:24] iQuad, OK. for future, format your partitions before installing and they'll wipe previous OS [12:24] and there is no such a directory "x86-64-efi" on /boot/grub [12:25] After installation my laptop does not show any wireless networks. Why could that be? [12:25] not that im complaining it says eth1 though [12:25] eer, check wireless drivers [12:26] cfhowlett: any idea how can I install grub with EFI support? [12:26] \o [12:27] Im just going to play a few videos with it make sure its good restart. I dont care if it says eth1 instead of wlan0 as long as it works [12:27] i can access systems with ip address only not with machine name [12:27] how can i solve it [12:27] ?

However i found if you put a old hard-drive in it it ignores it. You can try that [12:29] Is there someone who knows the Install GRUB with EFI?

I am using ubuntu actively, sometimes using Windows 8 [12:30] iQuad, no output for that command doesn't grep anything [12:30] Installed lots of times EFI ubuntu, but that Grub made me crazy :( [12:30] eer: try Additional Drivers [12:30] eer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [12:31] eer: this link not for u [12:31] Munster: :) [12:31] I'm just a n0ob - but I couldn't get Ubuntu and Windows 8 to dual boot :( I gave up and just removed Windows 8 completely [12:31] Munster, this is not an UEFI bios laptop.

[12:33] RobDude, some use the legacy mode to dual boot, but in some cases one has to reinstall both OSs [12:33] iQuad, not that I know of [12:33] I'll also say, I had to update my bios to get Windows 8 to install [12:34] 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] iQuad: /j #grub === curiousguy13_ is now known as curiousguy13 [12:34] llutz_: found it thanks :) [12:35] And I really think my BIOS doesn't quite support it all how it should. For example - I still don't have a secure boot option - and now it sees my USB stick as two devices - one with UEFI and one without - but I can only boot from it if I go into the BIOS menu each time, and 'override' to the non-uefi menu listing [12:35] I don't get it [12:35] RobDude, I think MOST people don't get it. [12:36] RobDude: secure boot is a bullshit.

[13:26] thanks [13:27] cybrNaut: This also applies to all other Ubuntu images, not just the LiveCD. The server CD, the minimal CD, and the DVDs are all hybrid, as well as official derivatives like Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu. [13:29] cool [13:29] i like that.. so I can add another partition for the rest of the disk space [13:29] cybrNaut: (btw, you can make an image hybrid by running "isohybrid something.iso") [13:29] cybrNaut: Uh, not really, you have to dd directly to the drive, not to a partition [13:30] theadmin: yeah, i do that with my own debian remasterings... but I wasn't sure how reliable it was in general.. there are lots of scary options about number of cylinders and the like [13:30] i dd directly to the drive, then I add a partition. It works for debian, anyway [13:30] will try with ubuntu [13:31] theadmin Pessimist Is secureapt default in Ubuntu? Or should I have to enable it somehow?

Also you won't get any answers here because you are using 14.04 and a very new version of gnome-shell [17:15] gabmus: check you display settings, [17:15] Pessimist: thanks, unfortunattly I post the question on the wrong channeld, it was meant for ArchLinux, but thanks anyway! [17:15] gabmus, it's not even in archlinux stable repositories [17:16] what, really? D: [17:16] Pessimist: for what its worth i used 14.04 and didn't have that prob, i had compatability issues [17:16] whatever, my display settings are fine, the resolution is correct and so are the detected monitors [17:17] also, this awkward crop also happens on my notebook with only one screen [17:17] 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] 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] gabmus: ok, i as going for the most common reason why you would have that, then file a bug [17:17] hi all, meant to say ubuntu [17:17] dante123, you just upgrade it and then when 14.04 is officially released you will get the 'official' version [17:18] 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] 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] Pessimist, so upgrade is pretty straightforward after the beta? [17:18] gabmus, so fill a bug report. Why are you still asking this? [17:18] he's not very technically minded and wants the simplest route [17:18] lel got it, ill revert to gnome 3.10 asap [17:18] gabmus: I would say wait for the official [17:19] getting officially new packages on ubuntu means waiting for the next release [17:19] I'm inclined to install the beta, and then he just upgrades when the time comes and doesnt need me for anything. [17:19] otherwise he will want me to come down again [17:19] gabmus: or roll then yourself [17:21] * whoever hopes gabmus reverts to 12.04 and just waits 30 days [17:21] please, explain your last post whoever [17:21] ahah, no. its not a 14.04 problem, it's a gnome 3.11 problem [17:21] gabmus: you wait for them, or you can get the source code, and compile them [17:22] or i can just use the gnome3-staging ppa as i am already doing [17:22] i know i shouldnt even complain about bugs, but i hoped this was a known bug i could solve [17:22] Hi all! can somebody help me to compile ?

[17:33] 3.10 works like a charm. but i already miss 3.11 [17:33] what is the best desktop enviroment for newbs to transition from win7 to ubuntu? [17:33] a1fa try KDE [17:33] Pessimist: in the root directory '/' ? [17:34] a1fa maybe lxde, or kde if you want to rice it much [17:34] miraiE: too bloated [17:34] gabmus: i am trying with xfce, but it may be too plain [17:34] kde isn't bloated [17:34] it's one of the best des out there [17:34] gabmus: its not? [17:34] if you have time to rice it, it isn't [17:35] how about xfce+docky? [17:35] 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] raj__, something like /share? It shouldn't be in any other because every directory in / already has a function [17:35] what do you want with that DE a1fa? maybe the appearance?

[17:36] grills actually use gnu+linux?

[17:38] maybe she likes unity better? [17:38] anyway, she has a hitachi hd with 32gb ssd cache.. how do i know this is working? [17:38] is this a hardware layer acceleration? [17:38] hello [17:39] 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] its a mess [17:39] a1fa, or maybe you should tell that windows isn't gnu/linux and let her choose what she wants? [17:39] ^ [17:40] I've got xchat open but it's not showing in my alt+tab list. What causes that? [17:40] 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] I'm going to try restarting xchat to see if that solves the problem. [17:40] Is it right way to use airodump-ng with sudo [17:40] ? [17:41] 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] demophobia, a bug. Try hexchat -- a xchat fork [17:41] gabmus, I think kde looks more like windows [17:41] xfce is the best desktop environment [17:41] Pessimist, restarting seems to have solved the alt+tab listing problem. Thanks, I'll look at it ... [17:42] a1fa: you could always skin it to look like windows [17:42] whoever: hiding in plain site :0 [17:42] xfce is very fast and stable [17:42] interweb, kde is awesome, but too complicated for a novice. [17:42] kde is little bit buggy [17:42] uh, wait a minute: xubuntu 14.04 has a launcher that makes it look exactly like windows, but with the panel on the top [17:43] Tom1, Buggy ! Are you kidding me ? [17:43] move the panel down and you have windows [17:43] any one gaming on steam with linux ? [17:43] a1fa: so why does she want to go from win7 to xfce ? thats quite a jump [17:43] steam with GNU+Linux please [17:43] homecable yes i do [17:43] whoever: her laptop broke [17:44] whoever: college student + people using her laptop + porn == trojans [17:44] gabmus what windows manger u using [17:44] a1fa is her your gf or a friend? [17:44] a friend [17:44] Hi all! can somebody help me to compile ?

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] 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 [17:47] homecable assuming with "install" you mean "os", i installed ubuntu gnome 13.10 and upgraded to 14.04 today [17:47] milkox, http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [17:47] a1fa: and unless there in something else that I am missing will solve the problem [17:47] whoever, let him try this, it could be nice [17:47] so a1fa, boot a livecd and open up gparted [17:48] i already got her files backed up [17:48] I used airmon-ng with sudo , should I re install ubuntu ? [17:48] i think she will be happy with xubuntu [17:48] ;) [17:48] i find puppy linux also good distro [17:48] 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] 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] also make sure to make a swap partition on the hdd with the same size of the ram she has [17:49] gabmus, I used airmon-ng with sudo , should I re install ubuntu ? [17:49] gabmus: don;t u think using ext4 filesystem on a ssd may wear out it very quickly ? [17:50] uhm... [17:50] never owned an ssd [17:50] you have to enable trimming or whatever its called [17:50] gabmus: would dual booting be any better then a vm [17:50] gabmus:ssd are a lot like flashdrivers, though ssds are much faster [17:51] dual booting is way faster, but not as practical [17:51] Could anyone help me with this problem ? Does it damage the security of my ubuntu using airmon-ng with sudo ? [17:51] Hello. [17:51] they say that using ext4 on pendrive will kill the pendrive very quickly because ext4 is journaling filessytem [17:51] disable journaling [17:51] gabmus: ya , either way you'll loose something [17:52] whoever: if you have a powerful pc, a vm WILL be fine [17:52] how can i set a library load path when im running a program from shell ? [17:52] gabmus:but then it would be more like older ext2 filesystem isnt? ext4 is robust because of journaling feature. [17:52] dunno, use something else [17:53] gabmus: using gparted to set the partitions seems like an unneeded step, i would install win and create my two logicals there [17:54] gabmus: most notebooks now have quad core and 6-8GB ram so you would be fine [17:54] http://superuser.com/questions/228657/which-linux-filesystem-works-best-with-ssd [17:55] i still have a swap partition on my desktop pc [17:55] it MIGHT come in handy when running vms === Zachary_DuBois|A is now known as Zachary_DuBois [17:57] Dose anyone here know how to fix a Glitch with pulse audio? i am unable to talk in a skype call unless i switch the audio output/input to Input instad of Duplex ?

[19:09] sydney_: that's not reasonable [19:10] sydney_: use htop and see if something is not using too much memory or too much cpu [19:10] I hade the same problem [19:10] in my case, it was the functional part of gigas. [19:11] I think it is a ram problem ,because i have only I Gig, And this install is only a month old. [19:11] what will be the cron expression if you want to run cron in every first week of a month? [19:12] sydney_: Then check "free -m" when it starts to get slow. [19:13] I actually do,and it likes to crash google chrome,which i leave open in the background beckause it takes so long to load. [19:14] sydney_: Then please pastebin "free -m" when your system starts to get slow. [19:14] bekks_:I an just curious,what does it do if I did? [19:15] sydney_: It will show you memory statistics. [19:16] bekks_: Ok,I use Task Manager to Do that Though.:) thanks [19:16] sydney_: Thats worthless. You need to look at "free -m". [19:17] sydney_: Otherwise I would have said that you could look at the task manager, which I didnt. [19:17] sydney_, first step i do when i feel my system is slow, i close my browser to see if that solves it, then i would use htop [19:19] bekks_: Thanks bekks, at the moment I 233 megs free from 1024mb acording to your method,and i only have google chrome open! [19:19] sydney_: Pastebin "free -m" please. [19:20] becks_: I did,and that was the results. :) [19:20] I am having a problem, I just installed ubuntu, the live cd worked fine. After installing it booted fine, I enable the 3rd party repo's and ran sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade. During which my computer locked up, the graphics glitched out and i couldn't even move my mouse or type on my keyboard. I am running under windows at the momen [19:20] t. I am using a 9800GT graphics card. When I try to boot into linux now, all i get it s a message at the desktop telling me that a system error has an occured but I can't use my mouse or keyboard, to do anything. When I boot into recovery mode I can't select any options. The computer locks up when it displays graphics. I can't even get to a console [19:20] , is there a way to fix my system, or at least find out whats wrong? I suspect the graphics driver [19:20] sydney_: you did not paste free -m until now.

Heres is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7103964/ this is the most recent time i just tried it.

[19:25] No bekks [19:26] I have UBUNTU in my vaio [19:26] bekks-: ok thanks for the info on that. [19:26] and OS in my mac [19:26] Welas: Then please seek support in ##macosx for support on how to install weechat on OSX. [19:26] OS Mavericks on the mac [19:26] I tryed it!

[19:28] Welas: It isnt an Ubuntu issue. [19:30] 14.04 specs are: fast, reliable, pretty [19:31] ubuntu 12.04 - cant find moonlight (silverlight 4 linux) in synaptic, is it still going? [19:32] Try Pipelight instead of Moonlight. I believe Moonlight is no longer maintained. Or at least way behind Silverlight [19:34] thx akaned , Synaptic: "No items match Pipelight" - do i need to add a repo ? [19:35] Yes. Check out this link http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html [19:35] Awesome. Just set up automatic backup to Google Drive. [19:35] looks good, thx akaned [19:36] I'm running 12.04 and am finally able to access a site I needed which uses Silverlight. Was never able to get Moonlight to work. [19:36] No problem. Hope it works for you [19:37] why does Compiz sometimes randomly close when i try to open Dash Home? [19:40] doing the "silverlight" install now, wanted to see the Microsoft Feynman site Project Tuva [19:40] dont suppose there is a similar emulation of adobe shockwave player too? [19:41] Check out the devs page http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.html [19:41] I think it might also have Shockwave plugin [19:42] Hi, i'd like to keep an azerty keyboard instead of qwerty. I did a : dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and configured to azerty. It works but when i reboot it isn't working anymore :( any thought ? [19:43] Hi guys, I have a machine dedicated for multimedia running Ubuntu and I would like to go a bit beyond that to use it as a fileserver across home. OpenMediaVault features seems nice but switching to Debian might be a tiny bit too much for what I want (NFS/SMB/AFP), Time Capsule and user management for file and service access. Do you know any software already capable of doing it on top of Ubuntu. I feel like all that is pos [19:43] sible but I would have to pick up the pieces from many different projects [19:44] I am having a problem, I just installed ubuntu, the live cd worked fine. After installing it booted fine, I enable the 3rd party repo's and ran sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade.

[19:44] will ubuntu 14.04 be more resource friendly than 12.04? [19:46] hello [19:46] Hi [19:46] need some help configuring my screen [19:47] gerzino: you could install it in as a virtual server on your box [19:48] gerzino: You could set up the services on either distribution. Are you looking for something that does them all? [19:48] anyone know anything about how to change resolution so that the screen gets the whole dash on it? [19:49] Oh, Is there way to set an option in the grub 2 bootloader in ubuntu to tell grub to boot the os in text console mode so i can remove a graphics driver? [19:49] nichlas: I have OMV as avirtualbox for testing and i feel it will work. But if a solution already exist that can avoid this it would be nice === capri- is now known as capri [19:50] eier_:Did you try to go to system settings and click on displays,and try to change the resolution there? [19:51] rypervenche: yes, I have already tried all that I want (except for the Apple Time Capsule but I've seen other people doing it) but a single tool to do that would be nice [19:51] gerzino: as rypervenche sais. you can install each service on it's own [19:52] gerzino but that doesn't give you the controls that OMV offers, and neither the user administration [19:52] 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] got silverlight via pipelight :) - so far shockwave wont install :( will keep trying [19:52] Hello, I've managed to install ubuntu 12.04 on an external usb disk on my Macbook and have also installed refind but unfortunately can't realy boot ubuntu and don't know how to solve it. Any hints towards the right direction? [19:53] ok thanks. i'll give a try to the virtualisation option and if not, I'll do it manually [19:53] deanm: only live systems live comfortably on external disks [19:53] 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] 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 [19:54] gerzino: You will still have the same problem if you virtualize the server. [19:54] thurstylark: i usually 'cd' to the place [19:54] nichlas: What's a live system ? [19:54] deanm: well, the ubuntu install iso is a live system. [19:54] nichlas: You mean the "try me" kind of installations ? [19:54] nichlas: how do I put that in a script? Do you have an example I can pull from? [19:55] deanm: yes === PH is now known as Guest44736 [19:55] rypervenche: If I virtualise OMV, I will have the admin tools of OMV, which seem really nice to me [19:55] eier_:Also did you hit the Windows key on your keyboard and type Displays and click on it and change the resolution there? That should work to. Either way should work [19:55] how much sawp is needed for a 4gb laptop with ssd? [19:55] gerzino: Ah, I'm not familiar with OMV. [19:55] a1fa: probably none [19:56] thurstylark: put "cd /my/folder" in the beginning of the script [19:57] do bash scripts need to have any extension like .sh.. I used .sh extension with my "bash scripts".. & now realised it .. should I remove the .sh extension from those files ? [19:57] nichlas: I must install a very specific customized version of Ubuntu from my company and don't think a "live" version is supported. I can have a second partition on main HD for Ubuntu, will this work as a solution? [19:58] raj__: no. you can just put #!/bin/bash in the first line, then it knows [19:58] deanm: yes, it is only the "removable" part that it doesn't like [19:58] nichlas: could it be without any extensiosn ? [19:58] nichlas: I didn't think you could put bash commands in an upstart script... [19:58] raj__: yes [19:59] nichlas: thanks! [19:59] thurstylark: aren't it a bash script to begin with? [20:00] thurstylark: then i guess you can have your upstart script execute a bash script.. will that do? [20:00] Is restarting ubuntu twice a day,because it slows down unreasonable? How can i fix that? [20:02] Is restarting ubuntu twice a day,because it slows down unreasonable? How can i fix that? [20:02] sydney, I'd say yes to the first; I don't know to the second [20:02] !details | sydney [20:02] sydney: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:05] hey so i has a question [20:05] 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] can i use ubuntu 12.04 32bit to fix my old windows xp computer? === andre__ is now known as Guest41901 [20:06] Aossi_: What do you mean by Fix? [20:07] 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] Aossi, That is a ##windows issue [20:08] i know [20:08] but can i use ubuntu to fix it [20:08] Aossi: only if you know what's wrong [20:08] Aossi, Other than running sudo update-grub in ubuntu to make sure it is getting seen. [20:08] Aossi_: I am not sure how to fix that,because ubuntu is not really a windows fixing tool. [20:09] 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] Aossi: replacing windows with ubuntu will most likely fix your issue [20:09] 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] sydney: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:09] Aossi, You have full access to windows from linux generally. [20:10] Beldar: coolness [20:10] sydney: have you tried looking at the resource manager? [20:10] Beldar: and ubuntu 12.04 can run along side xp with out removing it correct? [20:10] sydney: maybe there is some app that refuses to close, and use up all your memory [20:10] Aossi, Fifferent file systems however and permissions, be careful. [20:10] Beldar: noted [20:11] Aossi, You can it alongside, however resizing a broke XP is not a good idea. [20:11] run* [20:11] Beldar: i was thinking more of resizing ubuntu to the partition instead of fucking with the windows part [20:12] Aossi, Cool, please don't swear here. ;) [20:12] Aossi: you should start with the live version. You can access your NTFS/FAT partitions without installing anything. [20:12] Beldar: sorry [20:13] nichlas: so basically click try instead of install huh [20:13] Aossi: exactly [20:13] nichlas: noted [20:13] nichlas: figured it out. just needed to use the chdir directive in the script [20:14] thurstylark: that also sounds cleaner than shifting to bash for that. [20:16] 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] Aossi: you will only be able to access files [20:16] nichlas: elaborate please [20:16] do you see the unmounted disk in the menu on the left? [20:16] nien [20:17] nichlas: indeed. Works like a charm [20:18] leave [20:19] Aossi: if you open the file manaer [20:19] manager* [20:19] the home folder ya [20:19] Aossi: you should be able to see it under deivces [20:20] among the shortcuts on the left [20:20] Aossi: You might try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [20:20] Aossi: XX GB Volume === bishop is now known as Guest5843 [20:22] Just bought a new drive. What should I format it with? [20:23] sarthak: For using it with Ubuntu only? [20:23] Yes bekks [20:23] sarthak: Then just choose ext4, e.g. [20:23] gmachine_24: thanks bro i got that going [20:24] What about the scheme? MBR or GUID ... or do I chose don't partition bekks [20:24] sarthak: How big is that drive? [20:24] 750gb WD Black it is a 2.5" drive .... bekks [20:24] sarthak: Then just choose MBR. [20:25] Thanks bekks [20:25] Aossi: :-) [20:25] Been a while since I last used Ubuntu. How's the state of NTFS support now? === mohammed is now known as Guest89216 [20:26] sarthak: It is supported for read/write. [20:26] gmachine_24: after i install it what is the program itself called so i can use it? [20:26] sarthak, much better than the other way around [20:26] im not finding it in my search thingy [20:26] Aossi - you need to burn it to a cd or usb stick and boot from that [20:26] x.x [20:26] gay === rickyb98 is now known as RickyB98 [20:27] The only thing I can't seem to figure out is what to do with Lightroom. I've got NTFS drives with photos on them and used to use Lightroom for editing/organization. [20:28] nvm i found my xp cd [20:28] imma just use that x.x [20:28] One thing that linux needs is more commercial apps. It's not that easy to live without them. [20:28] wish i found it sooner now i feel like an idiot [20:28] Aossi: for putting a drink on? [20:29] 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] caus well ubuntu is superior [20:29] lol [20:30] Talking about security, is there any need for an AntiVirus program on Ubuntu? [20:31] sarthak: most don't. But that doesn't mean there are no risk. [20:32] sarthak: but it is advisable to scan for rootkits and changed core files [20:32] why won't ubuntu still install onto SSD? tried USB and DVD... [20:32] especially if it is on an exposed server [20:32] even tried linux mint [20:32] linuxthefish: i have mine running on SSD. what is the problem? [20:32] linuxthefish: you get some message what happens, dont you? [20:32] 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. [20:33] nichlas it won't let me create any partitions [20:33] does anybody know if it is possible to install x86 Ubuntu onto a x64 computer [20:33] however it works fine in gparted [20:33] macss: sure [20:33] macss: Sure. But why dont you use a 64bit OS? [20:34] linuxthefish: sounds odd. But you can precreate the partitions, and then just install using the existing. [20:34] i can't even see partitions [20:34] 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. [20:35] what would happen if you didnt give the system ANY or very little swap [20:35] mici Some apps don't run (i.e. VMWare Player needs 2gb swap) [20:35] 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 [20:36] I only run with swap on my server [20:36] My desktop doesn't have any. No problems yet. [20:36] 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] wtf ubuntu is saying my disk has 98304 bad sectors... [20:36] 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... [20:37] linuxthefish: Then your disk is going to die very soon. [20:37] no it's fine in windows, i tested SMART a few days ago [20:37] running vm from swap sounds like a slow thing ;D [20:37] unless ssd or smth [20:38] linuxthefish: i would try running a scan with the provided program. Sounds way off. [20:40] :( [20:40] linuxthefish: Pastebin "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX" where sdX is the device of your disk. [20:40] linuxthefish: you just don't know what you are talking about. [20:41] linuxthefish: Windows ignores SMART at all, btw. [20:41] to late, shut down and removed disk [20:41] what about CrystelDiskInfo? [20:41] We dont care about Windows tools :) [20:41] jdoles or i wouldn't be asking for help... [20:42] linuxthefish: do you know what a sector is? [20:42] linuxthefish: We can help you with Ubuntu tools, not with Windows tools. [20:42] no clue [20:43] linuxthefish: my SSDs always came with tools. Didn't yours? [20:43] nope, just a plain box :S [20:43] Samsung Magic something. [20:43] magician [20:45] linuxthefish: a sector is just a subset of the bytes on your disk with some error correction. [20:45] linuxthefish: a bad sector is a sector for which this error correction code says "hey, this is bad". [20:45] linuxthefish: you have close to 100,000 of those. [20:46] linuxthefish: the result of hitting a bad sector is slow performance at best or data loss at worst. [20:46] linuxthefish: it's also an indicator of complete failure. [20:46] Update: my Ubuntu-VM attempt to install GHCJS was another mediocre failure. I'm figurativelly gonna cry. [20:47] linuxthefish: the solution is simple: buy a new disk. [20:47] bad sectors on SSDs make little sense [20:47] linuxthefish: Windows might not hit those same sectors. [20:47] woops, wrong chan [20:48] 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] nichlas: yes they do, it happens. [20:48] An SSD does not have "sectors", I suppose. [20:48] yes it does [20:49] But it does store information and you could label does as sectors. [20:49] those* [20:49] such misinformation here ;_; [20:49] daftykins: a sector does not make a lot of sense for an SSD, see what bekks said. [20:49] Is anyone there? [20:49] Nothing pops up when I click the search button in the Dash. I just installed the latest Ubuntu from a usb drive. [20:49] daftykins: a sector being a part of a disc shaped object. [20:49] 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] And on the live version it worked [20:50] hi sydney [20:50] anyone know how to fix the search? [20:50] jdoles: i disagree but nm [20:50] daftykins: it seems bekks has said exactly the same thing again. [20:51] asddssadds_: What do you mean by search? [20:51] It's just that some set of people thought it would be cool to also call that a "sector". [20:51] It's just convenient for all the software and drivers. [20:51] oh dear, his record must be scratched [20:51] asddssadds What do you mean by search? [20:52] Which package creates /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt === scott_ is now known as Guest28763 [20:52] On a map, you call rectangualr areas "sectors" too, even though there is no disc shaped object... wait, DiscWorld... :P [20:52] the top dash icon [20:52] daftykins: the physical model is not exactly the same. [20:52] jdoles: please stop [20:52] damn, unity --reset-icons made all window borders and all icons disappear [20:52] daftykins: so, why don't you tell us how you think the world works, since apparently you are an Intel SSD engineer... [20:53] jdoles just threw down the gauntlet [20:53] !offtopic | jdoles [20:53] 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] :D [20:55] Why does ubuntu 12.04 take like 45 seconds to start? [20:55] !EDOESNOTHAVEBALLS | daftykins [20:56] well that's not nice [20:56] sydney: because it was made by visionless people and you have broken hardware. [20:56] jdoles: be polite and constructive please [20:56] sydney: Why not? Thats pretty ok. [20:56] sydney: And how often do you actually start? :) [20:56] sydney: my version of Ubuntu starts in about 9 seconds to some login screen + 4 seconds for BIOS stuff. [20:57] sydney install bootchart to see what is really happening [20:57] bekks_: about twice a day. [20:57] hi [20:57] sydney: So thats not that long then. [20:57] !bootchart [20:57] 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] sydney: I also don't start the machine more than once per month, because you are not supposed to do that. [20:57] sydney: you are supposed to use suspend if you use it often and otherwise hibernation. [20:58] sydney: if those features don't work, find a machine or OS where that does work. [20:58] jdoles: can you stop making stuff up now please [20:58] 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] 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] Must attached storage devices (e.g. iPods, thumbdrives) be 'safely ejected' before unplugging? [20:58] bekks: yes, but a million bad sectors doesn't mean there will be actual data loss for an SSD [20:58] the important part is if the number changes. [20:58] Hi guys, how do i convert a csv file to a db file ? === tbarlow is now known as Bleakwise [20:58] If it is a new disk i would definitely RMA it, nevermind any theory or magic behind it. [20:58] jdoles_: I do us suspen most of the time,but sometimes it stops behaving corectly ,or slows down. [20:58] Here is how it should look after about 300TB written: http://techreport.com/review/25681/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-testing-data-retention-at-300tb [20:58] daftykins: nichlas just said exactly the same thing. [20:58] sup [20:58] daftykins: so, it appears that most people agree with what I said. [20:58] ramsub07: import it? [20:58] nichlas: If you actually "see" bad sectors, there are replacement areas left. That applies for HDD as well as for SSD. [20:59] daftykins: as such, please explain why I should care about your opinion (which apparently you don't have). [20:59] nichlas: So if you "have" bad sectors, you disk is going to die. [20:59] I wasnt sure if 45 seconds was slow? :) [20:59] jdoles: please stop discussing - this is a support channel === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [20:59] jdoles: i see no reason to justify myself to an obnoxious individual online so no ty [20:59] guntbert: you must be one of daftykins's aliases. [20:59] jdoles: Also I technically agree, I I do not agree with your offtopic. So stop it please. [21:00] bekks: great. [21:00] i think it's kick o'clock [21:00] I'd like to see we kick the less technical people out of here. [21:00] It's like an idiocracy here, otherwise. [21:00] daftykins: It's ignore o'clock. [21:00] jdoles: Ignore set,. [21:00] i never use ignore [21:00] daftykins: Too bad, it really helps :) [21:00] jdoles i just ran the ubuntu installer on this laptop with the same make of disk and still the same error... [21:01] So anyway, any of you technical guys know about the dash search not working? [21:01] daftykins: keep to support as well [21:01] guntbert: i do not need to be told the rules [21:01] linuxthefish: if this is about bad sectors, then of course you get the same error. [21:01] 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] it's a different disk... [21:01] 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%` [21:02] linuxthefish: ok, there are then still a ton of explanations for that behaviour. [21:02] linuxthefish: So run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX [21:02] linuxthefish: one of them is that your hardware is an apparatus to kill your other hardware. [21:02] linuxthefish: but there are many more; that's the "fun" you get when you toy around with your own hardware. [21:03] linuxthefish: what error specifically do you get? [21:03] bekks will try that in a sec. jdoles troll... [21:03] linuxthefish: Just ignore him. [21:04] linuxthefish: whatever bekks is saying is virtually useless. [21:04] linuxthefish: the reason for that is that SMART is fairly useless. [21:04] 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" [21:05] oh well, i'll use a non-ssd === Guest28763 is now known as Dragnslcr [21:05] linuxthefish: that just sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. [21:05] linuxthefish: you should find some physical person and let that other person help you. [21:05] !ops | jdoles [21:05] jdoles: Help! Channel emergency!

I've got nvidia-settings installed too. Does anyone have an idea how i can get nvidia-xconfig reinstalled? [21:07] Pricey: no, the reason people come here, is to keep the skill level low enough such that the moderators can still understand it. [21:07] i deleted my /etc configs for a package, i tried reinstallign it but i can't get the configs back [21:07] how do i get my configs back? [21:07] it was /etc/packagename [21:07] !find nvidia-xconfig [21:07] File nvidia-xconfig found in nvidia-173, nvidia-304, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-319, nvidia-319-updates [21:08] i did apt-get remove package apt-get install package, and it won't install the configs [21:09] hi all [21:10] tables, if you have used --purge then your configs won't come back. [21:10] I am trying to install the lastest kernel version on my Ubuntu 13.10, but it is failing for some reason. What can I do to make it work? [21:10] yea i used purge [21:10] so how can i get my configs back? [21:11] OerHeks: thanks for that, i've got nvidia-304 installed though [21:12] tables set it up again, as you did before [21:12] i did [21:12] i did apt-get install [21:12] and the /etc/configs won't come back [21:12] tables as we do not know what software package, it is a wild guess [21:13] i did these basically: [21:13] rm -rf /etc/apache2 ; apt-get remove apache2 ; apt-get install apache2 [21:13] and my configs wont' come back [21:13] i even tried apt-get install apache2 a second time and it just says : 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 34 not upgraded. [21:14] tables logically because you hard deleted the folder. [21:14] OerHeks: i've just installed nvidia-319 and i'm still getting sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found [21:14] OerHeks, so how do i get the configs back? [21:14] lol [21:15] tables, why do you want me to answer the same question again? [21:15] gone is gone, you deleted it perfectly. [21:15] i can never get it back? [21:16] D`oh! [21:16] why does ubuntu start acting strange,and then I have to restart? [21:17] sydney: Define "strange" please. [21:17] sydney, most likely a hardware problem [21:18] finally [21:18] good old irssi [21:18] 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? [21:19] when i minimize programs and reopen them they do not show the contents of the program,and it slows down. [21:19] why don't you upgrade to 14.04? it's as stable as 13.10 already [21:19] sydney, maybe your pc is old [21:19] what hardware do you have [21:19] gabmus, What kernel version does 14.04 use? [21:20] 3.13.0-17-generic [21:20] andyfied, i never used nvidia-xconfig myself, just gksudo nvidia-settings [21:20] 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] It is a Dell xps 410, 1 gig of ram,dual core 1.86ghz,running 12.04 [21:20] sydney, it is a pretty old system [21:21] you should try something lighter like lubuntu or at least xubuntu [21:21] OerHeks: nvidia-settings is complaining about xorg.conf being wrong and tells me to use nvidia-xconfig === Npc_ is now known as Npc [21:21] gabmus, Oh.

[21:21] how do I delete the above file successfully .. ? [21:21] I know about 8 years old,but it still works. [21:21] it needs to be removed until it is fixed [21:21] There is a lost+found folder on an external EXT4 drive. Is that normal or should it be hidden? [21:21] omar_ whats your problem? [21:21] jdoles I am sure everyone regardless of their technical experience with Linux is welcome here. [21:21] this is why I hate this channel [21:21] its to busy to get anything out [21:21] so anyone know why initramfs keeps failing from updates?

[21:25] what will ubuntu 14.04s specs be when it comes out? [21:25] send it again [21:25] ok [21:25] 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] itl do a 1/4 mile in under 9 seconds [21:26] what will ubuntu 14.04s specs be when it comes out? [21:26] !repeat | sydney [21:26] sydney: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:26] 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. [21:27] Ok,Sorry,I didn't mean to be pushy. [21:27] that was a bot dont worry === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Zachary_DuBois|A [21:28] omar_: do you know for sure what exact kernel fixes your problem? [21:28] Hello all, i need help for adobe flash [21:29] i cant istal it [21:29] install* [21:29] how do i? [21:29] !flash | dnull [21:29] dnull: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:29] Hi there, does somone could help me to install Java 7 JDK on ubuntu please ? I didn't achieve to do it, following : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html. Thanks [21:29] 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] 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] !trusty | sydney [21:29] 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] 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 [21:30] 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 === JZTech101 is now known as jzmitch [21:30] raj__: It does, here. History gets updated when you quit the current shell. === jzmitch is now known as JZTech101 [21:30] gabmus, live on the bleeding edge? What do you mean? [21:31] 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] sydney: In addition, Unity requires 3D. [21:31] raj__: yes, thats the way to keep singlle commands from being recorded into the history [21:31] Dureiken_: have you tried installing it directly from Ubuntu Software Center? I had the same problem and solved it that way. [21:31] bekks: acutally I found that a command with space was skipped in history in between two commands.. [21:32] 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] bekks: atleast this is what I see through 'history' command .. did not check with .bash _history yet.. [21:32] I know Unity is a resource hog,but I wasn't sure if Trusty would be better in that area. [21:32] gabmus: or if you want to be totally minimalistic you can use evilwm... ;-) [21:33] sydney : I achieved to install Java 6 wia ubuntu center, not 7 [21:33] guntbert: thanks for confirmation ! [21:33] Dureiken: just copy and paste this into your terminal without the quotes: "gksu apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk && exit" [21:33] openjdk is same as java ? [21:33] gabmus, I see. Well.. I'll give 14.04 a shot. Thanks. :) [21:33] sydney: trusty is about the same thing, dont expect so many changes [21:34] omar_: no problem, always willing to help where i can ;D [21:34] gambus_: Ok,Thanks :) [21:34] there doesn't really seem to be much in my xorg.conf anyway [21:34] 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] but it does say driver nvidia, so i have no clue why it isn't running [21:34] MarderIII: I like openbox more, maybe just because I'm already used to it [21:34] sydney: again, np, always willing to help [21:34] raj__: you can check the setting by running echo $HISTCONTROL [21:35] be sure to visit my youtube, if you want to do something nice to me :) [21:35] gabmus : I have no xserver [21:35] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVqlDOUyIjMWqBUhp73a90g [21:35] Dureiken_: Yes,as far as I know they are. [21:35] gabmus: please, don't advertise stuff like that here [21:35] Slart: yes that says ... ignoreboth [21:35] thanks!! [21:35] gabmus: to each his own :) evilwm is very memory light. [21:36] Dureiken: run "sudo apt-get -y install openjdk-7-jdk" [21:36] Slart: ok sorry :\ [21:36] raj__: same as I have [21:36] hi [21:36] gabmus : thanks a lot it worked [21:36] mel_: hello [21:37] MarderIII: thats true, I still have pretty powerful machines so i run gnome-shell [21:37] im still trying to transform my samsung series 7 notebook into an ubuntu machine [21:37] 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] does someone know where to look for a switch to uefi legacy mode? [21:37] what's good about the openjdk? [21:38] gabmus: running on some pretty memory restricted hardware. So that's why evilwm. [21:38] !uefi [21:38] 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] 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] was hard enough to get into the uefi config (wtf windows 8?) [21:38] 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] mel|: can you provide some images of your setup screens? [21:38] andyfied: it's gone? isn't it part of the nvidia driver package? [21:39] Hi guys, how do i convert a csv file to a db file ? [21:39] Which is the better firefox repo? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/firefox-aurora https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa [21:39] ramsub07, import it? [21:39] gabmus: have used it on my 256Mb raspi. Was usable [21:39] 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] how to ? [21:39] ramsub07, read your db docs? [21:40] Hi. I'd like to know how to remove all .jpg files recursively. [21:40] I have a csv file which i want to convert to a db file [21:40] 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] not i3 the window manager [21:40] :-) [21:40] the intel core i3 [21:40] andyfied: I think it's part of nvidia-current in 12.04, not sure if it's the same with newer versions [21:40] andyfied: sorry, 12.10 [21:41] what you use your raspi for? [21:41] !ot | gabmus [21:41] gabmus: #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! [21:41] !find nvidia-xconfig | andy [21:41] andy: File nvidia-xconfig found in nvidia-173, nvidia-304, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-319, nvidia-319-updates [21:41] 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] gabmus: at the moment as a irssi client with proxy configured for my android phone [21:41] andyfied: see ubottus message above.. it should be available in all those packages [21:41] I have a csv file which i want to convert to a db file [21:42] how to proceed ? [21:42] 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] Dureiken: ubuntu isn't lightweight. i would choose it for a server really, while I'd prefer debian stable [21:42] gabmus: and as a honeypot [21:42] gabmus : ok thanks, it's for a game server (minecraft) [21:42] i wouldnt choose it for a server* [21:42] ramsub07, import the csv file [21:42] 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 [21:43] ramsub07: what is a .db file? sql? something else? [21:43] sqlite [21:43] Slart: a database file i think [21:43] for libreoffice base [21:43] yes [21:43] ramsub07: this seems useful http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ImportingFiles [21:44] ramsub07, it takes 5 seconds to google that question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1045910/how-can-i-import-load-a-sql-or-csv-file-into-sqlite [21:44] hang your head in shame [21:44] oh you got answered [21:44] Slart: i'll try that [21:44] gabmus: might be used for all kinds of databases (or so it seems from a quick google search) [21:44] Slart: ok nice [21:45] Slart: still not there, thanks for the suggestion though [21:46] weirdly xorg.conf does have "driver nvidia" in it, but it's not running [21:46] I did that [21:46] but I am getting an error [21:47] line 1: expected 8 columns of data but found 1 [21:47] andyfied: maybe the nvidia driver is blacklisted. have you installed bumblebee? [21:47] gabmus: no, would it be a good idea to? [21:47] ramsub07: So fix the input file. [21:47] ramsub07, I'm having trouble seeing your input file with my crystal ball. The spirits are uncooperative today. [21:48] i've seen the instructions so i'll try it [21:48] 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] andyfied: do you have a notebook with optimus technology? [21:48] no, i have a normal pc with a 9800gtx that was running fine 4 days ago [21:48] how do i reinstall a package and get my /etc configs back? [21:49] when trying to install ubuntu server on my old laptop, the keyboard isnt working.. Anyone got any good ideas here? [21:49] guys, I've mistakely used "find -delete" and removed some files. Would you reinstall the whole OS (I don't know if I removed important things or not). [21:49] well, dont instlal bumblebee [21:49] it WILL fuck everything [21:49] tables: i must say, your configs are gone [21:49] I haven't restarted computer yet [21:49] Dinosaurio: ouch.. what command did you run? do you still have it in your history? [21:49] gabmus: No cursing in here please [21:50] Slart: daniel@daniel-pc:~$ find -delete [21:50] well well well... andyfied what version of ubuntu are you running? and what driver version? [21:50] IdleOne: ooops, didnt notice :D [21:50] gabmus: 13.10 and currently 319 [21:50] Dinosaurio: Then you removed your home directory. [21:50] Dinosaurio: Or all the files in it. [21:50] meh, dunno that should work fine [21:50] gabmus: yeah, i know :( [21:50] you installed it from official repos? [21:50] not really, "Download", and some other folders dissappeared [21:51] gabmus: straight out of synaptic [21:51] But I didn't lose my music and university works [21:51] did you do anything strange to X or to the drivers? [21:51] anyone know where that randr option menu is? to fix screen flickering? [21:51] the thing is, I don't know what will happen when restarting [21:51] do you have an X session? or you can't access it? [21:51] gabmus: maybe i did something weird, but i'm not sure what. i installed lxde so i could get a de [21:52] andyfied: you didnt have a de before? [21:52] is that a server? [21:52] gabmus: it boots up okay and gets to the login screen but unity won't run i assume it needs to be acceleragted [21:53] andyfied: if it reaches the login screen then X is working [21:53] is the resolution ok? [21:53] gabmus: and for whatever reason it seems to keep grabbing the vesa one [21:53] you mean the mesa* one? [21:53] you mean the nouveau driver? [21:53] gabmus: no, it's dead wrong resolution and nvidia-settings says the nvidia driver is not running [21:53] Dinosaurio: I would do a reinstall.. and cry silently when I go to sleep hoping it will never happen again =) [21:54] gabmus: erm, let me check [21:54] Dinosaurio: and start doing backups.. it's never to late =) [21:54] ok andyfied lets get into real s***t [21:54] where are you writing from? your pc? [21:54] brb gimme a sec [21:55] im back [21:55] gabmus: i'm on the desktop in question, but i'm using ssh to my fileserver and using irssi from there because of reasons... [21:56] can you access another device? [21:56] like a smarthpone or anything else? [21:56] Slart: yeah, I'm backuping everything. :P. I had better not use console sunday nights [21:56] oh, i got a laptop down on the floor here [21:56] Anybody know a better drive than using b43-installer for a MacBook Pro airport? [21:57] get it, we are going to mess your pc up and make some tests [21:57] glxinfo | grep OpenGL is showing no devices, btw [21:57] Why is there an Amazon icon in the Dash by default? [21:57] hi will ubuntu easily do a dist-upgrade via gui [21:57] ? [21:57] ThomasBS: Might see what you can do in bios, maybe switch usb to a legacy mode ? [21:57] There's no such option [21:57] unfortunately :( [21:57] Virtual: so which wifi chipset do you have? === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [21:58] right, i'm on lappy now [21:59] How would I create a app in ubuntu if I wanted to? [21:59] 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] sydney_: Define "app" please. [21:59] gabmus : debian : used 174Mb :p [21:59] bekks, I believe it's BCM4331 [22:00] Virtual: Most likely, it is BCM4313, and then b43 is the correct driver for it. [22:00] now you have to clear all nvidia drivers you could have installed with this command "sudo apt-get -y purge nvidia*" [22:00] game Similar to Supertux? [22:00] 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 ? [22:01] okay, doing first one now [22:01] finally you can try and reinstall the drivers running "sudo apt-get install nvidia-319-updates" [22:01] 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] irony: the command console is on the correct resolution [22:01] i'm not sure since im no more in 13.10 if the 319 driver needs the nvidia-sessings package [22:01] andyfied: thats normal in lack of active drivers [22:02] 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] was just hoping there was another work around [22:02] ThomasBS: the PS/2 plug is the round violet or green cable used to connect mouse or keyboards [22:02] ah [22:02] yeah I've only got USB [22:03] everyone has only usb on modern laptops [22:03] there are adapters [22:03] 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] yeah this laptop only has usb [22:03] anyone know? is there a simple gui way to dist-upgrade the distribution [22:04] momo2: A gui way to run the command "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? :) [22:04] 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). [22:05] 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] gabmus: the xsession things was not present, but i've purged all the drivers and 319-updates installes nvidia-settings as well [22:05] also, command line is more efficient and easy to use than a gui === Thor|Away is now known as Thorium220 [22:05] bekks: only a gui way to update to higher distri (like dist-upgrade) [22:05] andyfied: have you followed all the steps? [22:06] momo2: Just run the command: sudo do-release-upgrade [22:06] 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] gabmus: yes, all 3 [22:06] momo2: No gui needed for a single command. [22:06] gabmus: lets mean the gui way not the command [22:06] drivers just installed fresh [22:06] 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] gabmus: it installed automatically with the drivers [22:06] momo2: still dont get what you want to do [22:06] 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 [22:07] andyfied: perfect [22:07] now run "sudo shutdown -h now" [22:07] this will shut your pc down [22:07] then turn it on again [22:07] and see if anything as changed [22:07] 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] gabmus: sudo init 6 would have done the same, as sudo shutdown -r now would have done [22:08] distrowatch.com [22:08] bekks: rarely reboot from console, too lazy to learn to reboot, so i just shut down and power on again. thank you [22:08] 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] lol seriously? [22:08] 'shutdown -r 0' [22:08] momo2: thats not what dist-upgrade does [22:08] :P [22:09] gabmus: it's still in the wrong resolution [22:09] ah is see [22:09] andyfied: what the hell really [22:09] gabmus: yeah, i know [22:09] momo2: if you want to do that run "update-manager -d" on a terminal [22:09] gabmus: i mean, i'm no expert, but this is nuts [22:09] so it is easy with gui to update to another release to have ubuntu over years? [22:10] momo2: kind of [22:10] 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] 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] so there is no secure gui way to be update over years? [22:11] 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] 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] how do i check what packager a file belongs to? [22:11] you can try installing the driver from the .run file nvidia provides [22:11] like /usr/sbin/apache2 i wanna know what package it belongs to [22:11] table you can use the !find command in here.. or apt-file [22:11] okay [22:11] sourceforage multi boot from usb thumb drive [22:11] andyfied: go here and download your .run file http://www.nvidia.it/Download/index.aspx?lang=it [22:11] !find nvidia-xconfig | tables [22:11] tables: File nvidia-xconfig found in nvidia-173, nvidia-304, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-319, nvidia-319-updates [22:11] what does that have to do with nvidia? [22:11] gabmus: yeah, but i'm not sure why nvidia-xconfig has disappeared either [22:12] tables: ubottu will search the packages for you and tell you which packages contain the file [22:12] tables: just an example [22:12] guys [22:12] for flash [22:12] Slart: ubottu is not the package manager ;) [22:12] andyfied: the .run file usually fixes a lot of things. let's try it [22:12] tables: you can use dpkg for various searches. [22:12] i installed extras but it doesnt work [22:12] 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] gabmus: It usually breaks things. It will break with every kernel update. [22:12] you already have the .run? [22:13] how do i get flash to work? [22:13] anyone? [22:13] what dpkg parameter is it? [22:13] bekks: yes, but it will fix X [22:13] bekks: if you put on some smooth music and dim the lights ubottu will be whatever you want it to be =) [22:13] andyfied: Do NOT use the .run until you know how to fix issues with X. [22:13] at least, it did with me [22:13] !nvidia | andyfied [22:13] Anybody help????? [22:13] andyfied: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [22:13] bekks: and without lts its not save possible like mentioned, because i dont want to use old lts progs [22:13] gabmus: yeah, i got the correct one, but it didn't seem to make much differnce [22:13] guysss? [22:13] bekks: sadly too late, it might have caused the issues in the first place [22:13] momo2: Without LTS, you have to run do-release-upgrade every 9 months. [22:14] ANYBODY? [22:14] andyfied: how disappointing. at this time i would have just re-installed the whole system. i'm sorry, but today i failed :\ [22:14] !flash | dnull [22:14] dnull: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [22:14] dnull: DONT BE PUSHY [22:14] bekks: right? is breaking the command terminal command safer? [22:14] 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] gabmus: it's okay, i'm glad someone has shown me i've done everything i could so far [22:14] bekks: ok [22:15] 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] Slart: i have ubuntu 12.04 [22:15] andyfied: I'm sorry mate [22:15] dnull: ok, and what browser are you using?

[22:31] <[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.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === TuxTek is now known as nuno_nunes [22:45] hi [22:46] hi [22:46] 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] 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] Sorry for off-topic, but that net split was impressive. The joining was enough to fill my entire chat buffer. [22:47] cc hi [22:47] any body from egypt [22:48] Nobody can help? [22:49] Coover55: It's a little slow in here right now. I'm sure someone will be able to help soon. [22:49] Mmm. Alright. [22:49] I'll be right back a moment [22:50] 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] anyone have ideas why [22:52] Back. [22:52] Coover55, Not an ideal use is all. Are you trying make a portable install? [22:53] 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) [22:54] 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 [22:55] anyone had the issue with mate not logging in? [22:55] 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 [22:56] And yes I have my install partition set to ext4 format [22:56] 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] ok it seems the issue is any X desktop [22:56] It could be dual-booted but it doesn't detect my W8 install [22:56] pycoderf: which ubuntu is that? [22:56] And I changed boot type from UEFI [22:56] 12.04 [22:56] k1l: 13.10 [22:57] What? [22:57] 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 === pcdummy_ is now known as pcdummy [22:57] Coover55, Unless you have changed the partition tables(s) it is still gpt. [22:57] I did [22:57] Or rather my dad did. He works in this kinda stuff so I know he knows what he's doing [22:58] Coover55, How? [22:58] Not sure, but I know he did it [22:58] 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] i tried lxde and same result [22:58] hello, I am trying to mount a hdd that was formatted as raid. I am not very experienced. Doing a fdisk -l shows the hdd on /dev/sdc and a partition on /dev/sdc1 with Id = 83. I need to mount the hdd and backup the data. How can I do it? I tried sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mntpoint but I get this msg back: mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' [22:58] QA Hardware team?

[23:00] anyone? please? [23:00] but it only has 600 permissions for some reason [23:00] Beldar, I don't think so. I have a Toshiba Satellite that came with Win8 preinstalled, so I don't have anything extra [23:00] pycoderf: 0600 user:user is fine [23:00] Beldar, More precisely Win8.1 [23:01] ok. i have been fighting this for days [23:02] Coover55, Two important links, read please. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [23:03] Coover55, Best thing you can do is make that W8.1 /image/clone and the recovery disc as suggested in the UF thread. [23:04] as a start [23:05] Dude my BIOS is set up properly. SafeBoot is off it's not on UEFI boot mode etc. etc. [23:06] And I don't see any point in making a recovery CD for W8 if I'm not going to effect it [23:06] Sorry, Beldar. Those last two messages were at you I forgot to put your name there haha [23:06] Coover55, cool, best if luck. [23:06] of* [23:07] Beldar, that's not really very helpful. You've told me everything I already know [23:07] is there any way to launch a specific terminal from command-line and make its window be always on top? [23:07] k1l: am i missing somethibng [23:08] pycoderf: sry, dont know [23:08] it is odd its any x11 [23:08] pycoderf: maybe pastebin the .xsession-errors [23:08] or other error messages you ger [23:08] its a vm but i can screenshot [23:09] *get [23:09] Beldar, are you still there or do you really not have more help for me?

It's possible nobody knows your particular problem. [23:12] jhutchins, I know that, but you can't just tell someone "Yeah good luck" and then ignore them [23:12] k1l: see just like i said [23:12] It's a bit rude [23:12] !attitude | Coover55 [23:12] Coover55: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:13] Attitude? [23:13] I don't even have an attitude. [23:13] Coover55, dont target users, ask every 15 mins or so [23:13] Coover55: Sounds like you have a bad installer. Have you verified the md5sum of the iso file and of the burned disc? [23:14] I'm not using a disc to install. I put all the ISO info onto my external hard drive [23:14] So I can do that without the need of a disc. [23:14] iso info? [23:14] ISO Downloaded directly from official Ubuntu site, bazhang [23:15] did you unpack the iso? [23:15] 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] pycoderf: is something interessting in xorg log in /var/log? [23:15] how did you get the iso on the disk [23:16] k1l: i dont have that log [23:16] bazhang, When I did it I just extracted the files from the ISO straight to the hard drive. [23:16] Coover55, that wont work [23:16] Clicking "Try Ubuntu without installing" works perfect, despite some drivers [23:16] Just graphics drivers issues [23:17] Xorg.0.log pycoderf [23:17] no [23:18] Actually now that I think about it I used a program to install the ISO properly to my External Drive [23:18] Don't remember the name but it worked [23:20] 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] Hm, this is new [23:20] New line in the installation [23:21] It says "(root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report .etc.cron.hourly) [23:21] Without the quotation marks, my bad [23:22] Actually there's a few lines I've missed wince I was here on this chat [23:22] Should I assume it's just going EXTREMELY slow?

[23:25] 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? === Guest97831 is now known as plazmax [23:29] 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. [23:30] Hmmm [23:30] Well I have 8GB of RAM on intended PC, and less powerful GPU [23:30] 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. [23:31] 4GB of RAM on THIS PC, and a more powerful GPU [23:31] I'm running 12.04 on a live USB [23:31] Bashing-om sorry, those msgs were intended for you [23:31] Forgot to put your name [23:32] And brb [23:32] in /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/ there is a file that's called thermal_control [23:32] inside the file it says "balanced" [23:33] Coover55: What you run into is different cpu's, different hardwares, different drivers required, and of course checkings/altering UUIDs as needed. === plazma__ is now known as plazmax [23:34] there's another file called thermal_profiles and inside it has "balanced silent performance" [23:36] Bashing-on: doesn't ubuntu use a precompiled kernel?

PErcona and workbench works fine... i need it to ignore the dependency issue [23:46] and trying to downgrade to 5.5 percona totally didnt work either [23:46] what is the directory in which the home directory called? how can I copy files into it? [23:49] in_deep_thought: do you mean dir: /home/UserName, which UserNme can be changed depend your username on your ubuntu OS. [23:50] hey all [23:51] anyone can help me out here? [23:51] when I open a new terminal and it shows alex@alex-ThinkPad-T410, I want to know the name of that directory [23:51] in_deep_thought: "pwd" [23:51] in_deep_thought: and that folder is /home/user by default [23:52] Where do i put all my website files in ubuntu serv 12.04 [23:52] ? [23:52] 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 [23:53] Can anybody else help me with my installation problems? [23:53] 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] oh nvm I did it with sudo cp -r [23:53] in_deep_thought: you need to change user with your actual user name [23:53] in_deep_thought: and dont ever user sudo where no sudo is needed [23:54] Bashing-on: So basically you're saying if I can install it successfully on another computer it would work on my laptop? [23:58] in_deep_thought: try as : cp /home/alex/ ... short hand ~/ == /home/alex . Hope this helps.
