| DaveInFL | Am I correct in thinking that there is no server version of Kubuntu like there is for Ubuntu? | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| rww | yep | 00:39 |
| DaveInFL | Ok...so let me ask a stupid question. Kubuntu runs fine as a server right? It's just a matter of how I want to partition it? | 00:40 |
| DaveInFL | I mean, I can install the desktop version and it will run fine as a server. Just install what I need? | 00:40 |
| rww | Yep, if you ignore the potential security issues of installing a boatload of graphical software on a server. | 00:41 |
| DaveInFL | Ok...thanks...it's mainly for home use and it won't be exposed to the outside world :) | 00:41 |
| odium | hi I am being asked to make a SE edition of kubuntu is there such a beast? | 01:20 |
| Roey | hey I want to add something to crontab. What is the official way of doing it in Kubuntu? | 01:59 |
| Roey | i.e. do we edit /etc/crontab directly, or what? | 02:00 |
| rww | crontab -e | 02:00 |
| Roey | ah | 02:00 |
| rww | to edit per-user crontab. sudo crontab -u root -e to edit root's | 02:00 |
| Roey | ok | 02:01 |
| Roey | and must I be root to use this? | 02:01 |
| Roey | /run with sudo I meant. | 02:01 |
| rww | yes to edit root's, no to edit your own | 02:03 |
| Roey | so I just want it to run my btrfs snapshotter script every hour on the 01's, say. | 02:05 |
| Roey | and I want my backup script to run every twelve hours, say. | 02:06 |
| Roey | rww: ^ | 02:06 |
| rww | do either of these things require sudo access when run manually? | 02:07 |
| Roey | hello here I have a question on crontab -e: I have a snapshotting script that I want run every hour on the 1's, and a backup script that I want to run every 4 hours. | 02:08 |
| Roey | ah, that'sthe question, reformulated | 02:08 |
| Roey | yeah they do. | 02:08 |
| rww | then sudo crontab -u root -e, and put them without sudo in there | 02:09 |
| rww | "every hour on the 1's" means what? 00:01, 01:01, etc.? | 02:09 |
| Roey | right | 02:09 |
| Roey | just some hourly time | 02:09 |
| rww | 1 * * * * my-snapshot command | 02:10 |
| Roey | that means execute every hour? | 02:10 |
| rww | * */4 * * * my-backup-command | 02:11 |
| rww | it means execute in the first minute of every hour, yes | 02:11 |
| rww | second one means execute sometime every fourth hour | 02:11 |
| Roey | I see | 02:11 |
| Roey | wonderful! | 02:11 |
| rww | Wikipedia's page on cron at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron is a pretty good reference for future use, btw | 02:12 |
| Roey | and where is it customary to put the scripts | 02:12 |
| Roey | aye, I was reading it | 02:12 |
| Roey | thanks | 02:12 |
| rww | not sure on that one. | 02:12 |
| Roey | /root? /usr/site? | 02:12 |
| Roey | /opt? | 02:12 |

| CyberTails | I did an security update if that counts? | 12:30 |

| alphacrypt | you know gmote? | 13:06 |
| alphacrypt | could it work on kubuntu, get jave exceptions | 13:06 |
| jarkko | i have a question about kubuntu...today i received 21 updates along them 3.13.0-18 kernel (i have newer kernel in use) this kernel is not in my grub...why it wants to install that? after upgrade it wants to remove 3.13-0-17 (which is not in use either) | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | alphacrypt, do you mean gmotionlive? | 13:08 |
| alphacrypt | that remotecontrolapp | 13:09 |
| BluesKaj | for cameras etc , alphacrypt , if so then it's gmotionlive | 13:10 |
| alphacrypt | its called gmote | 13:10 |
| Pici | jarkko: what kernel are you running instead and how did you get that installed? | 13:11 |
| jarkko | Pici: 3.13.6 manually, downloaded from ubuntu ppa | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | alphacrypt, that's an Android app | 13:11 |
| alphacrypt | yes | 13:11 |
| jarkko | Pici: http://pastebin.com/BHLakxHb | 13:11 |
| alphacrypt | but you need to run the server | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | not available for kubuntu afaik | 13:11 |
| alphacrypt | maybe | 13:12 |
| alphacrypt | you know alternatives? | 13:12 |
| Pici | jarkko: Because you have the linux-image-generic package installed, it will want to pull in a specific kernel package. The version that you are using shouldn't disappear though, you will just get another entry on your grub menu. | 13:14 |
| jarkko | Pici: well i quess i have deleted something, but not hole kernel then... | 13:15 |
| akis | hi all. i am running 12.04 and for file manager i am using dolphin. since last week every time i pluged a usb stick or a sd card dolphin recognised it automatically and placed it under trash icon. suddenly this stopped and every time i am plugging the usb stick i have to choose 'show all entries' in left panel to see usb stick and use it. any idea about a solution on this this issue? | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | akis, right click in the panel, unlock the panel | 13:38 |

| cornfeedhobo | hello... so much keeps changing an i have been searching.. is there a unified way to manage services in 13.10?? | 17:44 |
| cornfeedhobo | or do i just have to wait for systemd | 17:44 |
| lordievader | cornfeedhobo: There still is upstart, those scripts are in /etc/init. The old style are supported by upstart too and are located in /etc/init.d/ | 17:45 |
| cornfeedhobo | i installed opeenssh-server and i have no clue how to disable it as an automatically starting service | 17:48 |
| cornfeedhobo | i never really got used to upstart.. kind of a sysinitV guy | 17:48 |
| lordievader | cornfeedhobo: Comment the "start on" clause in /etc/init/ssh.conf | 17:48 |
| cornfeedhobo | oh thanks | 17:49 |
| cornfeedhobo | lol | 17:50 |
| cornfeedhobo | i never knew there was a /etc/init dir | 17:51 |
| cornfeedhobo | sysinitV used conf.d :( | 17:51 |
| cornfeedhobo | thanks again! | 17:51 |
| Unit193 | upstart uses /etc/init/, and can use the init.d scripts too. | 17:51 |

| __Roey | Hello. How do I fix this error: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9626044 | 18:17 |
| __Roey | i.e. set my MTA agent | 18:17 |
| lordievader | __Roey: This might solve your problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/222512/cron-info-no-mta-installed-discarding-output-error-in-the-syslog | 18:19 |
| __Roey | lordievader: thank you! | 18:41 |
| === calin is now known as crucerucalin | ||
| lordievader | __Roey: No problem, happy upstarting (for as long as it will last) | 18:41 |
| __Roey | lordievader: so just installing postfix will fix that error? I tried before with installing exim4 but the error persisted. | 18:44 |
| lordievader | Ohh I'm mixing up thing, sorry about upstart.. | 18:45 |
| lordievader | __Roey: Yes, following the explanation on the page, cron misses an Mail Transfer Agent and therefore discards the message. | 18:46 |
| __Roey | okay | 18:48 |
| __Roey | but this was also the situation when I with installinx exim this morning | 18:48 |
| __Roey | but okay. | 18:48 |
| __Roey | lordievader: do you mess ariound with btrfs send/receive much? | 18:49 |
| lordievader | __Roey: Nope, I use lvm+ext4 | 18:49 |
| __Roey | lordievader: ahh okay, gotcha | 18:49 |

| ozbrk | hi guys | 19:35 |
| ozbrk | I need help a bit | 19:35 |
| ozbrk | there are multiple problems in here | 19:35 |
| ozbrk | first of all is a common issue called screen tearing I have a ati radeon hd 5800 | 19:35 |
| ozbrk | I can't install any drivers drivers breakes the opengş | 19:36 |
| ozbrk | opengl* | 19:36 |
| dougl | ozbrk, how attached are you to the ati? | 19:42 |
| ozbrk | what ? | 19:42 |
| dougl | do you love ati more than nvidia? | 19:43 |
| ozbrk | that's the only graphich card that I have why ? | 19:43 |
| dougl | I am not an ati fan because they have never behaved well with linux... that is why I asked - I would like to see you get an nvidia card and there are two driver avenues you could use there... | 19:44 |
| dougl | but tearing has always been an issue for me | 19:45 |
| lordievader | ozbrk: What driver are you currently running? | 19:45 |
| ozbrk | open | 19:45 |
| lordievader | ozbrk: The 'radeon' one? | 19:45 |
| ozbrk | I don't know accutally | 19:45 |
| * dougl is glad to see lordievader is still here. | 19:46 | |
| ozbrk | I reinstalled all xcof | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | dougl, ati linux drivers were great up until 4-5 yrs ago then after amd boiught the company linux support has suffered | 19:46 |
| lordievader | ozbrk: Could you pastebin "lspci -k|grep -A2 VGA" | 19:46 |
| ozbrk | ooook hang on a sec. | 19:46 |
| lordievader | !info fglrx | 19:46 |
| ubottu | fglrx (source: fglrx-installer): Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators. In component restricted, is extra. Version 2:13.101-0ubuntu3 (saucy), package size 48023 kB, installed size 140013 kB (Only available for amd64; i386) | 19:46 |
| ozbrk | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7115981/ | 19:47 |
| dougl | BluesKaj, how are you - good trivia amd, lets just not go there I am intel now | 19:47 |
| ozbrk | it says it is radeon driver | 19:47 |
| ozbrk | dougl: you are a funny guy aren't you :) | 19:47 |
| rww | yes hello, ATI user here. radeon works fine for me, and fglrx does too. | 19:47 |
| ikonia | it will really depend on your card and your expectations to define "does it work" | 19:48 |
| BluesKaj | rww, yes ati drivers are hit and miss on linux , depends on the HW | 19:48 |
| lordievader | ozbrk: Hmm this might explain it [1] doesn't list the HD 5830 as supported for the 13.101 driver <- the one Saucy ships: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7115981/forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=378785 | 19:48 |
| rww | BluesKaj: so are nvidia ones, if you care at all about software freedom | 19:48 |
| ozbrk | Ubuntu Pastebin The Paste you are looking for does not currently exist. Return to the Pastebin | 19:49 |
| ozbrk | whatever what should I do then | 19:49 |
| lordievader | ozbrk: Err that should be: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=378785 | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | rww, nvidia has the linux drivers prettywell supported, except for thier very hi-end cards | 19:49 |
| rww | BluesKaj: using the free-software driver? if so, that contradicts quite a lot of other people I've talked to, but I am pleased about the improvement. | 19:50 |
| rww | anyways. the silly "{nvidia, amd} is bad, go buy {amd, nvidia}" messages are silly on either side of the aisle, is my point. It depends on what you get and what your priorities are. | 19:50 |
| BluesKaj | rww, well that's been my experience | 19:50 |
| ikonia | rww: you're right, the novau stuff is %50/%50 - again depends on your card and expectations like ati | 19:51 |
| ozbrk | hey lordiveader | 19:51 |
| ozbrk | thanks for the help but | 19:51 |
| ozbrk | http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/incomplete :/ | 19:51 |
| lordievader | ozbrk: You might try installing a newer version of the fglrx driver manually, according to the AMD website 13.12 supports the HD5000 series. I wonder if they said that for 13.6 too: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64 | 19:51 |
| rww | (and arguing that one is better than the other is utterly pointless when -- like now -- the user already bought a graphics card) | 19:51 |
| dougl | ozbrk, they say I am a character in the flesh but here I try to be serious cuz you can't always tell when I am smiling or grinning | 19:52 |
| ikonia | dougl: what has that got to do with kubuntu ? | 19:52 |
| ozbrk | dougl: real deal philosophic topic | 19:52 |
| ozbrk | ''I went I saw I conquered'' | 19:53 |
| dougl | ikonia, I try to be sincere and not joking so I don't upset the channel... and I wanted ozbrk to understand in case I offended him when we were discussing our nvidia/ati opinions | 19:54 |
| ikonia | ???? | 19:54 |
| ozbrk | hey guys calm down I haven't read all of the conversations | 19:55 |
| ozbrk | whats going on | 19:55 |
| dougl | ikonia does not like how wordy I am - does it show? | 19:55 |
| fkm | Hi there. What VNC server would you recommend, if I want to be able to: a) control the currently running session b) only from the local network c) without entering a password or manually approving connections from the target machine and d) running it as a daemon at startup so it doesn't get in the way and I don't have to remember starting it before I can use it. | 20:29 |
| fkm | vnc4server, x11vnc, or something else? | 20:30 |
