| qset | I'm running vbox with ubuntu x86_64, what command would I use to get ia32 libc so I can use gcc -m32? | 00:09 |
| Includes08 | just manually | 00:09 |
| Includes08 | and it should work | 00:09 |
| Bashing-om | afief: Pops to mind to check !, what drive is set to boot from in Bios ? | 00:10 |
| Includes08 | atleast windows and centos and such work | 00:11 |
| qset | I did sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 00:11 |
| qset | to no avail :( | 00:11 |
| Includes08 | but ubuntu doesn't want his ip | 00:11 |
| Includes08 | only auto assign | 00:11 |
| qset | I was hoping for some apt-get so I wouldn't have to manually figure out which libs I would need to put in usr/lib/ | 00:12 |

| chiefbrain | is it possible to install ubuntu on a 4gb usb stick? | 00:20 |
| z1haze | yea | 00:20 |
| chiefbrain | ubuntu 13.10 tells me, i need at least 5,9 gb | 00:20 |
| chiefbrain | so the installer dont let me install it | 00:20 |
| z1haze | ive done it with 12.04 | 00:21 |
| chiefbrain | so you jsut installed ubuntu with the installer to a usb drive? | 00:21 |
| exstasea | chiefbrain: there is a minimal / network installer | 00:21 |
| chiefbrain | exstasea: i read about that. but the question remains: is 4gb enough to have system with a firefox, thunderbird which can be held up to date? | 00:22 |
| chiefbrain | exstasea: there is a reason for this 5,9 gb limit | 00:23 |
| colacola | chiefbrain, yes | 00:24 |
| === Guest57476 is now known as rylinaux | ||
| colacola | i have 2gb | 00:24 |
| exstasea | chiefbrain: i was going to say in theory it needs 2.6 gig but stuff like browser cache, saved emaiks etc can grow | 00:24 |
| chiefbrain | cocoknife: 13.10? | 00:24 |
| chiefbrain | sry, colacola 13.10. | 00:24 |
| chiefbrain | ? | 00:24 |
| colacola | yes | 00:24 |
| chiefbrain | thx | 00:24 |
| colacola | and it work fine ok maybe a little lag on youtube | 00:25 |
| colacola | but that's all | 00:25 |
| chiefbrain | colacola: depends on the stick propaply | 00:25 |
| colacola | yeah | 00:25 |
| exstasea | well usb stick is reasonably cheap now, you'd have to decide if your time is worth the cost of a larger stick | 00:25 |
| chiefbrain | colacola: i read something about changing tmp to a ramdisk, did you do this? | 00:26 |
| colacola | chiefbrain, no | 00:26 |
| colacola | chiefbrain, however i forget to mention something | 00:26 |
| colacola | i use awesome wm as my window manager | 00:27 |

| Beldar | eliterecon, severl options including a rm of the locked. | 01:12 |

| beerninja | anyone in here familiar with xorg.conf files? I wrote a new one for my monitors which ubuntu can't detect the EDID for and this one ubuntu tutorial says to add a virtual subsection to my xorg.conf....not sure where to write it though. I'm a noob :( | 01:40 |
| xoexoe | daftykins, I solved it right now. for your question, I'd already nuked it, and the problem recurred while recreating partition. but it recurred another machine, not on the one where I deleted the partitions with the help of Jordan. when I connected the disk to the latter machine again, the problem was not there. | 01:41 |
| xoexoe | I wonder whatever might be wrong with partition tables of the same disk on different machines, | 01:42 |
| daftykins | beerninja: 'where' ? as in placement within the file? | 01:42 |
| beerninja | daftykins: yes I'm not sure if I have to type a new section or if it has to be a subsection etc | 01:43 |
| beerninja | I'm looking at this tutorial here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting_resolution_changes_in_xorg.conf_--_resolution_lower_than_expected | 01:43 |

| daftykins | xoexoe: via some form of USB controller? | 01:44 |
| beerninja | daftykins: right now my xorg.conf is totally empty except for two sections I wrote about my monitor placement..like "primary" "true" and stuff | 01:44 |
| xoexoe | daftykins, what is it? :) | 01:45 |
| daftykins | what's with the EDID issues? is the monitor a little funky or is it using a non-digital interface? | 01:45 |
| beerninja | non digital. old CRTs | 01:45 |
| xoexoe | so I'm probably not using it :) | 01:45 |
| daftykins | xoexoe: is it a 3.5" HDD in a USB caddy? | 01:45 |

| daftykins | xoexoe: ok, you certainly won't understand my main idea then ;) it's possible the disk is being addressed differently by each, is what i would've said | 01:49 |
| eliterecon | daftykins: how would u suggest going about killing it? | 01:49 |
| daftykins | eliterecon: if you want to go the GUI way, run the system monitor or whatever the task manager equivalent is today - or open a terminal and kill its' PID | 01:50 |
| daftykins | so, the standard ways | 01:50 |
| xoexoe | daftykins, it seems so. I just thought Jordan's commands earlier have corrected the case for one of the computers, as a result of which partition tables were altered, as the message said | 01:51 |
| beerninja | I tried typing a "Display" section instead of a subsection in my xorg.conf but then X wouldn't start. Anyone know where I could add a Virtual command under a "Display" subsection? | 01:52 |

| daftykins | beerninja: hmm sorry i don't have enough experience with that approach - is it possible there's a better way though? what card and driver is this with? could the driver be causing additional issues? | 01:57 |
| beerninja | old radeon 9800XT (aka R360). radeon open source driver. No problems with the driver that I am aware of but inxi -Gx reports that the "ati" driver is also installed alongside it which doesn't make any sense to me. | 01:58 |
| beerninja | Just the missing EDID from my monitors which has me stuck at 1024x768 | 01:58 |
| daftykins | eliterecon: do you know what you were installing at the time? | 01:58 |
| eliterecon | i think it might have been updates and it was restarting but the restart failed | 01:59 |
| eliterecon | i had to shut it down manually | 01:59 |
| daftykins | beerninja: hrmm i could only suggest trying to copy in from templates online if you find anything relevant, but multi-monitor with that could get pretty guessy :( | 01:59 |
| daftykins | eliterecon: and on booting back up you ran software centre but it's getting stuck? | 02:00 |
| beerninja | ok thanks for your help though :) | 02:00 |
| daftykins | no probs | 02:00 |
| daftykins | back in the day i remember using hardcoded modelines | 02:00 |
| daftykins | but that'd still need a display/screen section | 02:00 |
| eliterecon | it wont shut down properly at all now and the software centre when opened always has searching applying changes | 02:01 |
| eliterecon | daftykins: should i just reinstall ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| daftykins | pastebin 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 02:02 |
| daftykins | that might give some clue as to whether it's stuck somewhere | 02:02 |
| daftykins | although i guess software centre might be locking you out from doing anything software related? D: | 02:02 |

| eliterecon | yop i think im just going to reinstall ubuntu :/ | 02:11 |
| daftykins | eliterecon: probably wouldn't be hard to work out how to unlock dpkg and then just sort it out | 02:12 |
| daftykins | eliterecon: guess it depends how customised your current install is | 02:12 |
| eliterecon | its very new i dont have anything really on it yet | 02:12 |
| eliterecon | i think ill just wipe it and start a fresh | 02:12 |
| eliterecon | thx for the help though | 02:13 |

| EndymionM | Oh, since people were here and active a minute ago. I realized, I have two questions. 1: I saw that on Unity 2d, I can shrink the launcher. What are the minimum dimensions? 2: I know that there used to be a UNIX equivalent to DOS/Win .bat files. What's the extension, and do I need to worry about formatting the text file differently? | 03:11 |
| seednode | EndymionM, it's .sh | 03:18 |

| stealth- | hi everyone! I have a RAID array of external USB harddrives on a ubuntu machine, and I believe that MDRAID is incorrectly marking a disk as "failed" because the read timeout is too low for the USB drives to spin back up in time. Does anyone know how to raise this timeout value? | 03:29 |
| EndymionM | seednode: Thank you. | 03:33 |

| === d3fc0n is now known as Guest5119 | ||
| EndymionM | seednode: Well, aside from the foldering structure being completely nonsensical (I grew up on DOS and my other machines are XP & 7), is the basic concept the same? | 03:40 |
| seednode | Well, I take offense to your calling the directory structure nonsensical, as I was raised using different *nix variants, but | 03:41 |
| seednode | The concepts of appending, overwriting, redirecting, and piping are very similar, yes | 03:41 |
| EndymionM | seednode: Then that's really all I need. And frankly, I prefer named drives, and the way I've always seen a machine makes sense to me. A: is floppy1, B: is floppy2, C: is the master HD, D: is either slave or CD, and then outwards from there as you have ports or logical drives. I really can't make head or tail of the Linux foldering. | 03:43 |
| seednode | Well, if you want to take it up in pm, I can try to explain the structure and why it was chosen :D | 03:44 |
| rcampbel3 | EndymionM: it goes way back farther than Window's existence. Regardless of wheter you like it, it won. It's the basis for UNIX, Linux, OSX, Andriod. | 03:45 |
| daftykins | it was a total mystery to me until i discovered any partition can be mounted to any path | 03:46 |
| daftykins | lol won. | 03:46 |
| EndymionM | ... Really, it won. I'd say Windows' market-share percentages disagree. | 03:46 |
| rcampbel3 | true: MSFT has about 20% market share in mobile and dropping. | 03:46 |
| stealth- | EndymionM: As someone who grew up with Linux systems, I can say when I had to use Windows computers I found the random lettering for drives immensely confusing xD | 03:46 |
| EndymionM | It's not random at all! | 03:47 |
| seednode | stealth-, and how about SysWOW64 versus system32 :P | 03:47 |

| ubottu | #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! | 03:47 |
| rcampbel3 | Don't get me started on Windows. It has NO package management system. It just keeps all old cr@p in the OS just in case forever, and if you don't like it... well reinstall. | 03:48 |
| daftykins | cfhowlett: really, i see you enforce rules more than i see you contribute. | 03:48 |
| daftykins | but yep the mob are going very Windowsy and that's no good | 03:49 |
| stealth- | Fair enough. :P | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | daftykins, 1. I don't "enforce" the rules 2. thank you for sharing | 03:49 |

| Guest33871 | Is it ok to update ubuntu from 12.04 to 13.10? | 03:56 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33871, yes. but consider that 14.04 LTS comes out next month ... | 03:57 |
| EndymionM | Guest33871: No, of course not. That's why they released it, to tell you that you, personally, are the only person on Earth who cannot use it :-P | 03:57 |
| Guest33871 | Is it ok if to update from 12.04 to 14.04 ? | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33871, yes. direct upgrade from LTS to LTS versions | 03:58 |
| rcampbel3 | Guest33871: yes and yes. It's supported to upgrade from LTS to LTS, otherwise, you need to do a lot up upgrades | 03:58 |
| Guest33871 | When will 14.04 LTS release? | 03:59 |
| rcampbel3 | Guest33871: end of April | 03:59 |
| Guest33871 | How to install microsoft office in ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33871, use libreoffice. | 04:02 |
| rcampbel3 | Guest33871: you don't. Use Libreofice... or google docs . Wine can run some versions of Microsoft Office pretty well, but... libreoffice is pretty good now | 04:03 |
| cfhowlett | rcampbel3, kingsoft office is the China made clone of microsoft office - linux version is available. | 04:04 |

| pack^ | try synaptic | 04:07 |
| numbers | rcampbel3, there is no high frequency radiation nearby | 04:07 |
| rcampbel3 | numbers: actually, my suggestions are: 1) use wifianalyzer on andriod to see if your wireless access pooint should be on channel 1, 6, or 11 based on your local wireless access points, 2 consider upgrading your wireless router to dd-wrt and turn up the power on the transmitter, 3) wired ethernet is always best, 4) make sure your phones and anything else like baby monitors don't interfere | 04:08 |
| numbers | rcampbel3, actually hold on let me connect to my android hotspot that could be a pretty good idea | 04:09 |
| dexter_ | Hello | 04:10 |
| llr_ | @guest33871 the command line is the fastest way for me | 04:11 |
| dexter_ | 1080p vidoes are getting played in smplayer but i cant seek/forward. if i do so the video is starting from first!.. | 04:11 |
| rcampbel3 | dexter_ : could be the container format and how the videos were transcoded - occasionally a nightly build of handbrake produces files for me that don't seek right. Re-rip. | 04:12 |
| dexter_ | but seeking is working in manjaro and windows :/ | 04:13 |
| dexter_ | and i cant play those videos in vlc player in ubuntu | 04:14 |
| rcampbel3 | dexter_ then don't use smplayer or file a bug report with a reproducible test case for them | 04:14 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away | ||

| JCM83 | Ubuntu natively offers "Soundcloud" links. What's the connection between Soundcloud and Ubuntu? Anyone aware of the history behind this? | 04:19 |
| cfhowlett | JCM83, soundcloud would love to get a native link on every device. someone made a deal. nothing suspicious there | 04:20 |
| JCM83 | cfhowlett yes obviously, what I'm saying is, is Soundcloud considered like a supporter of the open source community or something? Do you know? | 04:21 |
| cfhowlett | JCM83, no idea | 04:21 |
| rcampbel3 | probably more like soundcloud has an open API | 04:21 |
| JCM83 | rcampbel3 what's that mean? | 04:22 |
| rcampbel3 | JCM83 - open API means that anyone who wants to support their app can find the details to write code that uses it. Closed API means... it's all secret and unless you sign an NDA and get permission, you have no clue how to integrate service1 with service2 | 04:23 |
| rcampbel3 | so... you'll find support for lots of things with open APIs in opensource | 04:23 |
| rcampbel3 | and very little support for things with closed APIs | 04:24 |
| JCM83 | Nice. | 04:24 |
| JCM83 | Thanks rcampbel3 | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | !cookie|rcampbel3, great explanation! | 04:24 |

| expwn | Hey guys! I've been trying to get ubuntu on this pc but whenever I boot up my USB I get a loading screen, followed by a black screen. what do? | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | !nomodeset|expwn, | 04:29 |
| ubottu | expwn,: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:29 |
| rcampbel3 | expwn - probably a video card / video card driver issue. If you know your way around the commandline, try installing the server version. Otherwise, try a new video card, or a differeny machine | 04:30 |
| chicognu | works cfhowlett | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | chicognu, excellent! | 04:31 |
| chicognu | but it is not the default window meager | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | chicognu, ??? | 04:31 |
| Akayllin | has anyone else had an issue on a laptop where your computer continually suspends itself and then turns back on over and over when your battery gets to the critical point? | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | chicognu, logout and login = should stay with lxde | 04:32 |
| chicognu | cfhowlett, when i reboot, at the login screen, the lxde is pre-selected but not the default | 04:32 |
| cfhowlett | chicognu, preselected = default | 04:32 |
| chicognu | hum wait | 04:33 |
| rcampbel3 | have script run your windowmanager with "--replace" as one of the startup jobs. | 04:34 |
| chicognu | yes it is the default, tks cfhowlett | 04:34 |
| chicognu | :D | 04:34 |

| EndymionM | canis_: Give up and go back to Windows. | 04:53 |
| canis_ | but it is in .exe file | 04:53 |
| rcampbel3 | canis_ : short answer is: you don't. It's a windows file. Long answer is: if you absolutely have no other choice, install wine, and run exe as "wine file.exe" | 04:53 |
| canis_ | Ubuntu didn't support .exe file | 04:53 |
| cfhowlett | canis_, go to skype.com downloads page and get the linux package | 04:54 |
| pack^ | but ubuntu DOES support skype. Just not with the .exe | 04:54 |

| awesome-o3000 | my sound card does not show up at all, alsamixer wont work and pulse displays a dummycard | 05:00 |
| rcampbel3 | if you boot an ubuntu 13.10 live cd, does sound work? | 05:01 |

| rcampbel3 | vexati0n: do both nics offer a route out to the internet? | 05:07 |
| vexati0n | rcampbel3: yes | 05:07 |
| vexati0n | separate public IPs | 05:07 |
| vexati0n | but it's ignoring traffic on the interface that doesn't have the metric 1 default gw | 05:07 |

| dupingping | How to convert a bitmap to a vector image format? | 05:50 |
| j4son | dupingping: I don't have experience there but 2 seconds at google with "linux convert bitmap to vector image" gave me http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/ | 05:52 |
| jakew02 | join #android-firehose | 05:52 |
| dupingping | j4son: thanks ok. | 05:53 |
| j4son | there is a Ubuntu package for it so intallation should be relatively easy... good luck | 05:53 |
| jakew02 | whoops missed the / ;) | 05:53 |
| akiva-mobile | Gahhh; is it worth learning cmake to solve this issue? | 06:07 |
| elky | j4son / dupingping: if you install inkscape, it has a way to use potrace in it with a GUI. i don't know if it is commandline otherwise or not. | 06:08 |
| akiva-mobile | I don't know whether this code is auto or manually generated, and I have no idea why its bugging | 06:08 |
| elky | akiva-mobile: have you asked the unity channel like was suggested earlier? | 06:10 |
| akiva-mobile | elky, in ubuntu +1, and cmakes | 06:10 |
| akiva-mobile | nothing | 06:10 |
| rww | there's a unity channel? | 06:10 |
| akiva-mobile | rww, apparently, #ubuntu-unity | 06:11 |
| elky | akiva-mobile: but not #ubuntu-unity ? | 06:11 |
| akiva-mobile | elky, nope; im on it now | 06:12 |
| elky | i've asked things in there before. the answer might not be instant, but they generally do get to you eventually if you're patient | 06:12 |
| akiva-mobile | elky, thanks | 06:14 |
| violetFX | greetings | 06:17 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, hello | 06:18 |
| violetFX | i just installed ubuntu for the first time. (also my first time interacting with linux) | 06:18 |
| violetFX | i'm encountering many problems | 06:18 |
| violetFX | anyone willing to give me some insight into what i can do to resolve some issues? | 06:18 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, sure! | 06:18 |
| akiva-mobile | what seems to be the issue? | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | whats to command to get latest kernel | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | violetFX | 06:19 |
| ubottu | violetFX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 06:19 |
| akiva-mobile | lotuspsychje, in git? From Linus's tree? | 06:19 |
| violetFX | firstly, i'm having a great deal of trouble using my mouse | 06:20 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, okay; is it slow? | 06:20 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, non responsive? | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | akiva-mobile: terminal command to get latest kernel | 06:20 |
| akiva-mobile | lotuspsychje, what do you mean by latest kernel? | 06:20 |
| krishna__ | violetFX, shoot ur concerns.. | 06:21 |
| lotuspsychje | akiva-mobile: well many issues got solved by installing a new kernel right | 06:21 |
| violetFX | the problem with the mouse is that even though the cursor responds to movement, i can't click on anything after a few minutes of booting up. | 06:21 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, very interesting. That is no good. Do you know what distrobution you are running? | 06:22 |
| akiva-mobile | 12.04, or 13.10? | 06:22 |
| violetFX | 13.10 (it's the latest right? | 06:22 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, yep! | 06:23 |
| krishna_ | ya | 06:23 |
| violetFX | along side this mouse issue, i'm experiencing problems with my keyboard too. it's a gamble using [tab] sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. | 06:24 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, hmmmm | 06:24 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, is it just your left mouse button, or your right mouse button as well? | 06:25 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Because this is a new install, have you updated your packages yet and reinstalled? | 06:26 |
| akiva-mobile | er not reinstalled | 06:26 |
| akiva-mobile | restarted* | 06:26 |
| akiva-mobile | :P | 06:26 |
| violetFX | right now, the mouse is working again, but when the problem is occurring neither button works | 06:26 |
| violetFX | i just finished installing the latest autoupdate | 06:26 |
| violetFX | you're suggesting a reboot? | 06:27 |
| violetFX | i'll try that now | 06:27 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, okay will be waiting | 06:27 |
| dhaval2712 | popey: Hey | 06:29 |
| dhaval2712 | I have a question, I have a 1.6 Ghz Dual Core w/ 1GB RAM for my DAD. I hav arch installed on it and I'm not sure I want to keep it. Would it be a guide idea to put the 14.04 beta 1 on it? | 06:31 |
| violetFX | i'm back, and the mouse is still having the same issue. | 06:31 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, okay, I think I may have a solution | 06:32 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, do you know what the terminal is? | 06:32 |
| tracyone | dhaval2712: just do it | 06:32 |
| violetFX | for example, when i left click xchat and the initial window opens, i can't select any of the boxes for "nickname" "second nickname" with the mouse, or click "connect" instead i need to use the keyboard to navigate | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | yep | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | okay | 06:33 |
| violetFX | ctrl+alt+t? | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | yes! | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | very good | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | :) | 06:33 |
| dhaval2712 | tracyone: Can I do it using a 13.04 install by any chance? That's the only iso I have and downloading the 14.04 iso will take time. Can I do something like do-release-upgrade --beta1 or something | 06:33 |
| jjavaholic | how can I monitor gtk calls to xorg? | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, once there, add these 3 lines | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:raof/aubergine | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | sudo apt-get update | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:33 |
| akiva-mobile | I got the solution from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/400554/ubuntu-13-04-left-click-not-working-after-a-while | 06:35 |
| jjavaholic | how can I monitor gtk calls? | 06:35 |
| violetFX | can you explain to me what sudo is? | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Sure! Su do | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | so you can think of it as | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | super user | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | do | 06:36 |
| rww | violetFX: it's a program that lets you run a program as if you're a different user | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | sudo | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | do as super user. | 06:36 |
| akiva-mobile | rww, yes that too :P | 06:36 |
| dhaval2712 | violetFX: Its basically throwing mud in the face of all security precautions ever taken by sysadmins. Super-user do is basically it. Basically it gives you root privileges with impunity if you can just remember YOUR password. | 06:37 |
| rww | (and your system is configured to allow it) | 06:37 |
| akiva-mobile | dhaval2712, ha ha yep. Its there as a safe security practice | 06:37 |
| akiva-mobile | Windows xp was notorious for viruses, and one of the reasons was because most people ran as administrator | 06:38 |
| akiva-mobile | ubuntu and other linux distrobutions thus try to minimize that. | 06:38 |
| dhaval2712 | avantgardist: To make sudo safe, you have to have a very good sudoers config. Or else someone can literally do this: sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root and literally delete the system. | 06:38 |
| === Guest84473 is now known as fego | ||
| dhaval2712 | Not kidding. So violetFX, basically be very careful with sudo. | 06:39 |
| akiva-mobile | ^ | 06:39 |
| rww | well yes, if you give someone full sudo access they can act as an admin, I'm not sure how this is non-obvious | 06:39 |
| akiva-mobile | I had a client the other day who was playing around with sudo chown, and accidently put a period where it wasnt welcome | 06:39 |
| violetFX | got it, learn more before experimentation | 06:39 |
| llutz_ | akiva-mobile: generations of unix-users/-admins haven't done daily jobs as root. the "need" for this sudo precaution came, when some guys decided "we have to convert the win-users to this super-secure-OS" | 06:39 |
| akiva-mobile | and basically set his entire kernel to local user. | 06:40 |
| dhaval2712 | rww Not to go too offtopic but I wasn't saying it wasn't obvious, I was saying it was dangerious. | 06:40 |
| akiva-mobile | llutz_, Waht? no way. if it was standard, microsoft would have done it fer sure | 06:40 |
| === jakew02 is now known as jakew02|away | ||
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, a few tips for the terminal. "ls" lists the directory you are currently in. "cd" allows you to C hange D irectories | 06:42 |
| llutz_ | !cli | violetFX | 06:42 |
| ubottu | violetFX: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 06:42 |
| akiva-mobile | and if you press <Tab> while typing, it autocompletes. | 06:43 |
| dhaval2712 | The arch linux boot is fast but the applications simply aren't fast enough to go through the hassle. | 06:43 |
| akiva-mobile | dhaval2712, Arch, it does not have unity, does it? | 06:44 |
| violetFX | ah, now i can use man | 06:44 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, nice! | 06:44 |
| dhaval2712 | avantgardist: Theoretically. | 06:44 |
| akiva-mobile | errr? | 06:44 |
| dhaval2712 | I feel my question is quite offtopic, what's the Ubuntu offtopic channel? | 06:44 |
| llutz_ | !ot | 06:45 |
| ubottu | #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! | 06:45 |
| texla | There is a program similar to system setting but more advanced..Forgot name can anyone help !!! | 06:45 |
| dhaval2712 | Thanks llutz_ | 06:45 |
| akiva-mobile | dhaval2712, One thing Unity has over all the other desktop environments is its HUD; As a programmer, it drastically increases my workflow | 06:45 |
| violetFX | what's unity? :( | 06:45 |
| dhaval2712 | I can see that happening. For me, it's KDE. | 06:46 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Good question. | 06:46 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Linux has many different graphical front ends. | 06:46 |
| akiva-mobile | these basically determine the look and behaviour of your desktop. | 06:46 |
| akiva-mobile | For example; Apple has a global menu bar, and a dock at the bottom. | 06:47 |
| llutz_ | !unity | violetFX | 06:47 |
| ubottu | violetFX: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 06:47 |
| violetFX | sorry i don't know what a "shell" or "GNOME" is, i am as new to linux as one can be | 06:49 |
| akiva-mobile | Windows 7 has the start bar at the bottom, and a basic desktop. | 06:49 |
| violetFX | but i do understand now that unity is one type of "shell" for "GNOME" | 06:49 |
| violetFX | so by default the GUI i see now is called unity? | 06:49 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Yep | 06:49 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Exactly | 06:49 |
| violetFX | because i haven't changed anything since installing ubuntu | 06:50 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, Unity was designed with a long term vision as being good for touch devices | 06:50 |
| violetFX | ok, that's pretty cool i'll be exploring that soon after i gain some command over the command-line | 06:50 |
| akiva-mobile | it is called unity because it aims to unite a user interface across a desktop, television, tablet, and phone. | 06:50 |
| violetFX | yes, i remember articles on the ubuntu website regarding a possible touch phone called "edge" | 06:51 |
| violetFX | i see that | 06:51 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, great! In Linux, there are basically 4 main user interfaces, | 06:51 |
| === jakew02|away is now known as jakew02 | ||
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, oh I have run that; it is amazing. Much better than android. | 06:51 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, The edges are addicting. Use it for 40 minutes, and you will be trying to swipe the edges in android. | 06:52 |
| texla | There is a program similar to system setting but more advanced..Forgot name can anyone help !!! | 06:52 |
| violetFX | i'll be looking into it more when i have some confidence in using linux | 06:53 |
| akiva-mobile | anyways, beyond unity, You have Gnome which aims for simplicity, you have KDE which aims for customizability, and you have xfce which aims to be great on resources. | 06:53 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, You will have a lot of fun doing it. | 06:53 |
| llutz_ | and you have over 9000 other different windowmanagers ... | 06:53 |
| llutz_ | well, more or less different | 06:54 |
| akiva-mobile | llutz_, oh and don't forget the compositors | 06:54 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, you might want to have fun playing around with compiz | 06:54 |
| violetFX | what's compiz? | 06:55 |
| akiva-mobile | or kwin if you are on kde | 06:55 |
| llutz_ | kwin is a windowmanager | 06:55 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, it is a compositor which has many plugins. | 06:55 |
| jjavaholic | how can I monitor gtk calls to xorg? | 06:55 |
| akiva-mobile | llutz_, Then what am I thinking of? what gives kde its wobbly windows? | 06:55 |
| violetFX | so, is this something that i can try installing via command-line? | 06:55 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, so for example, you can make your desktop 3d | 06:56 |
| llutz_ | akiva-mobile: kwin has compositor-features, but basically is/was just the kde default windowmanager | 06:56 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, yah, but you can do it through the software center. Be careful, as it can be unstable | 06:56 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, but go to the software center, and search for compiz config | 06:57 |
| violetFX | is it possible to open the software center with the command-line? | 06:57 |
| akiva-mobile | yep | 06:57 |
| startnix | Hello people!! | 06:58 |
| akiva-mobile | type software-center | 06:58 |
| startnix | I am using xfce, but there is a problem, I cannot lock screen, when I click lock screen nothing happens, I did tried, shortcut key, that is Ctrl+L but didn't work tough!! | 06:58 |
| violetFX | (btw, i'm really loving the linux experience so far, hardware issues aside) | 06:59 |
| greyhatpython | hi i upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 development release, Ubuntu automatically locks the screen while using the system, any help? | 06:59 |
| llutz_ | !14.04 | greyhatpython | 06:59 |
| ubottu | greyhatpython: 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 | 06:59 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, great! While you are in software center, you can install synaptic package manager. it is an older version of software centre (sort of), but it contains many more packages to look at. | 07:00 |
| greyhatpython | yes i know but everything is working fine except it locks the screen. | 07:00 |
| llutz_ | greyhatpython: ". support in #ubuntu+1 | 07:00 |
| jjavaholic | startnix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1021725 | 07:00 |
| greyhatpython | thanks! | 07:00 |
| startnix | jjavaholic, thanks, I will take a look at it. | 07:01 |
| akiva-mobile | violetFX, when you get synaptic up, you can search for compiz plugins, and you can install some extra plugins that will allow you to do pretty unbelievable things with the desktop. | 07:01 |
| akiva-mobile | !compiz | 07:02 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 07:02 |

| akiva-mobile | texla, what kind of system settings? | 07:05 |
| texla | Themes,window focus etc | 07:06 |
| akiva-mobile | texla, oh why didnt you say so :P | 07:06 |
| akiva-mobile | texla, try compiz-config | 07:06 |
| texla | Nope that not it | 07:06 |
| akiva-mobile | texla, you can set themes and focus in there | 07:06 |
| texla | Yes you can but that was not the app | 07:07 |
| akiva-mobile | texla, the only one I remember besides that was for unity, and it wasn't particular stable | 07:08 |
| akiva-mobile | unity-tweak or something | 07:08 |
| akiva-mobile | yah thats it. unity tweak | 07:08 |

| akiva-mobile | lickalott, chromium or chrome? | 07:18 |
| lickalott | chrome | 07:18 |
| akiva-mobile | mmmm google is as much of my friend in this case, as it is yours | 07:19 |

| vivek_1729 | Hi | 07:37 |
| vivek_1729 | I am having trouble configuring touchegg to support multifinger gestures in Ubuntu 13.04 | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | vivek_1729, 1. 13.04 is end of life = no support | 07:38 |
| cfhowlett | !touch | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 07:38 |
| raj__ | is it a good strategy to set JAVA_HOME & default java to "/usr/lib/jvm/default-java" symlink & point that symlink to any java installation like oracle java/ opnjdk that was switching between jre versions & upgrading to newer versions would be very easier, no ? | 07:39 |
| vivek_1729 | Ok, but in general | 07:39 |
| vivek_1729 | do you have any idea if synaptics touchpads have been configured for multi touch support in recent versions | 07:39 |
| vivek_1729 | i will gladly upgrade to 13.10 or 14.04 if need be | 07:40 |
| akiva-mobile | vivek_1729, I am an ignoramus, but I gather that mir should definitely have this. | 07:40 |
| js_doode | hello. planning to upgrade at some point. but for the moment, when i sudo apt-get install, all my repository links are obviously broken. running 10.04 | 07:40 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, wow that is old | 07:41 |
| js_doode | ^ can i re-direct them somehow to a functioning repository still supporting 10.04? | 07:41 |
| js_doode | i just need to add php5-cli to terminal. | 07:41 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, built it from source maybe? | 07:41 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: yeah. its an old box i just fired up. | 07:42 |
| vivek_1729 | Besides touchegg though, do you know of any programs that might do the trick? | 07:42 |
| vivek_1729 | I am just willing to give them a try | 07:42 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: having to upgrade means i have to backup and i dont want to do that just yet. :) | 07:42 |

| akiva-mobile | cfhowlett, you can test it though :P | 07:43 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, how much do you have to upgrade? | 07:43 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, will ubuntu-one not be enough room? | 07:44 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: yeah, but i just don't want to do it right now. | 07:44 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: time is not on my side. as i have to get a project done. | 07:44 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, is this the desktop version? | 07:45 |
| akiva-mobile | okay got it | 07:45 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: yes. desktop | 07:45 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, okay its end of support. Server still has it | 07:45 |
| szx | will ubuntu ever fix its update process? it's totally fucked up, I spent this morning resolving package dependencies and crap like that | 07:45 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, you might want to try debian debs | 07:45 |
| akiva-mobile | just a guess | 07:45 |
| szx | very dissapointed | 07:45 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: plus. upgrading will crap out this desktop as the hardware sucks in it. | 07:45 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, can't be that bad. all you need is a gig of ram | 07:46 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: yeah, thx, i'll look for a deb pkg. :) | 07:46 |
| szx | why not just do it like Fedora does | 07:46 |
| llutz_ | js_doode: you use outdated software on even more outdated hardware, but rely on it for a project? rethink your workflow | 07:46 |
| cfhowlett | szx, it doesn't. if you prefer fedora, please use it. | 07:47 |
| akiva-mobile | szx, that is not ordinary | 07:47 |
| akiva-mobile | szx, what kind of packages are you trying to install | 07:48 |
| akiva-mobile | szx, it sounds like you are downloading poor quality debs | 07:48 |
| szx | well I can't remember what packages they were but that was a nightmare | 07:49 |
| szx | and now some of the packages are missing | 07:49 |
| akiva-mobile | szx, were they from the official sources? | 07:49 |
| akiva-mobile | and what version are you running? | 07:49 |

| akiva-mobile | js_doode, usually not necessary. | 07:52 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: what's not necessary? | 07:53 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, oh hardware compatability, not sure if you have been in the linux ecosystem | 07:53 |
| akiva-mobile | but its usually only new obscure hardware that needs support. | 07:53 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, i mean, this isnt a solaris system is it? | 07:54 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: no its not. its an older hp tower. | 07:55 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, should be fine; can't imagine any linux distro having trouble with it. Any idea of the specS? | 07:55 |
| js_doode | llutz_: yeah. i'm just gonna backup and do a clean install. | 07:55 |
| akiva-mobile | like my laptop from 2006 runs ubuntu as seemless as my 2013 laptop. | 07:56 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: intel celeron d cpu | 07:56 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: dunno how much ram. | 07:56 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: how can i check in terminal? | 07:56 |
| akiva-mobile | good question :P | 07:56 |
| llutz_ | js_doode: free -m | 07:56 |
| cfhowlett | js_doode, strongly suggest you see lubuntu or xubuntu. the first is optimized for older/slower tech - 2nd does a pretty decent job as well. | 07:56 |
| akiva-mobile | ^ | 07:57 |
| js_doode | cfhowlett: k thx. will do | 07:57 |
| akiva-mobile | but even so, unity works great with just 2 gigs of ram | 07:57 |

| akiva-mobile | but in that case, xubuntu and lubuntu are excellent suggestions | 07:59 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: not right now. don't have any ram sticks lying around. | 07:59 |
| akiva-mobile | but it does have free slots | 07:59 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: which is better xubuntu or lubuntu? | 07:59 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: haven't checked. | 07:59 |
| akiva-mobile | xubuntu imo, | 08:00 |
| akiva-mobile | it uses xfce | 08:00 |
| js_doode | akiva-mobile: so i should be able to sudo apt-get to my hearts content just as if i were in ubuntu? | 08:00 |

| js_doode | akiva-mobile: ^ so you don't know what it's called? | 08:08 |
| akiva-mobile | js_doode, nah. If I were you, I'd just splerge 50 dollars, and buy a better desktop | 08:08 |
| akiva-mobile | and put that one on... idle server mode | 08:08 |
| akiva-mobile | I appreciate what xfce and lubuntu do, along with puppy, dsl, etc | 08:09 |

| llutz_ | aib: just to make sure :) i couldn't think of any stupid cron-job removing users history | 08:37 |
| aib | and I grepped /etc just to be sure, no mentions beside apparmor | 08:37 |
| llutz_ | aib: is it cleaned completely or just truncated | 08:37 |
| aib | llutz_: the oldest command is about a week old, so something must be cleaning it or deleting from the beginning | 08:38 |

| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: but i feel fine using english | 09:00 |
| akiva-mobile | okay; just a thought | 09:00 |
| Seib | Does anyone here have any knowledge regarding Xubuntu and chromebooks? | 09:00 |
| Sailor7009 | and its better to practise once I'm studying it | 09:00 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, so did it look like the screenshot? | 09:00 |
| cfhowlett | vladimir, as expected. you'll want to keep at least the 2 newest ones | 09:00 |
| llutz_ | vladimir: copy and paste the following into your terminal, if you are sure the kernel actual running works fine for you:"dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge" | 09:00 |
| vladimir | ok. i suppose. how do i get rid of the rest | 09:01 |
| cfhowlett | vladimir, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.3.2.0-55.57 will remove that EXACT kernel | 09:01 |
| Seib | ------------------------------ | 09:01 |

| cfhowlett | Seib, chromebook support might be a good stop for you | 09:02 |
| squared | Morning, Everyone. | 09:02 |
| Seib | Their expertise has to do with chromebooks, not xubuntu. | 09:02 |
| vladimir | by typing : sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.3.... | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | Seib, but they will know about dual booting that chromebook | 09:03 |
| Seib | im not dualbooting | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | vladimir, right. and that should be the OLDEST kernel | 09:03 |

| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: it came, try ubuntu, install ubuntu, OEM, and check disk | 09:12 |
| Sailor7009 | i chose try ubuntu | 09:12 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, cool | 09:12 |
| akiva-mobile | and it went to black? | 09:13 |
| Sailor7009 | then ubuntu theme appear | 09:13 |
| akiva-mobile | oh good :) | 09:13 |
| Sailor7009 | process and went black | 09:13 |
| akiva-mobile | is it still black? I want you to try and press, alt + ctrl + "F1" | 09:13 |
| Alkano | wenos días | 09:14 |
| Sailor7009 | during the process: starting ... OK, starting ... OK, for several features, and one of them .... Fail | 09:15 |
| Alkano | necesito ayuda porfavor. | 09:15 |
| Sailor7009 | still black | 09:16 |
| Sailor7009 | can i do it right now? | 09:16 |
| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: FYI: its boot from a cd | 09:16 |
| squared | can anyone help? | 09:16 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, yah I am just thinking... is it a cd or dvd? | 09:16 |
| Sailor7009 | dvd | 09:16 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, if you can, its best to do it from a usb thumb drive | 09:16 |
| Sailor7009 | ctrl +alt+f1, nothing happen | 09:17 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, also when you burn, it is best to do it at the slowest speed | 09:17 |
| szx | http://pastebin.com/H3W7XiLJ | 09:18 |
| szx | how do I fix this?? | 09:18 |
| aib | llutz_: it looks like my earliest history entry coincides with my last reboot. In all likelihood, my file isn't surviving reboots | 09:19 |
| akiva-mobile | szx, what is this? | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | !14.04 | szx | 09:19 |
| ubottu | szx: 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 | 09:19 |
| Sailor7009 | ok, so put all those files into a usb and reboot? | 09:20 |
| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: right now i take off the dvd, it boot from hdd and came dualboot screen of win8 and ubuntu, i chose win8 because itried many times in this case but without success | 09:20 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, hummmmm, see my issue here is that I am having trouble understanding whether you have ubuntu partitioned on your computer or not. | 09:21 |
| akiva-mobile | Do you know what partitioned means? | 09:21 |
| llutz_ | aib: very odd. entries are written at runtime, so it cannot be missed cachewrites o smth like that. | 09:22 |
| aib | llutz_: yeah, and my reboots are clean. at the very least I exit all my shells | 09:23 |
| vladimir | cfhowlett: may i send you a private message? | 09:24 |
| llutz_ | aib: can you reboot the machine for a test? | 09:24 |
| cfhowlett | vladimir, please | 09:24 |
| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: as i said before, before i tried to install it and disabling secure boot, but i didn't create a partition for it, after errors, afterwards i use try but without success also | 09:24 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, okay | 09:25 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, so this is what your goal is, okay: Download ubuntu to a bootable usb disk | 09:25 |
| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: does it make sense? | 09:25 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, that does, yes thank you | 09:25 |
| aib | llutz_: I'd rather not. Or at least I'd rather assume it's deleted at startup and set up logging before the reboot | 09:25 |
| aib | llutz_: can this incron daemon report process ids? | 09:26 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, follow this tutorial here :http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 09:26 |
| llutz_ | aib: i'm not sure | 09:26 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, once you have that done, set your bios to boot from your usb stick, then go ahead and do that. | 09:27 |
| akiva-mobile | if it still gives you a black screen | 09:27 |
| akiva-mobile | take your computer model, hp xxxxx, and google "Ubuntu install black screen hp XXXXX 13.10" | 09:28 |
| akiva-mobile | and if you get nothing, then post your question to askubuntu.com | 09:28 |
| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: ok, I'll try it. afterwards I'll bring to you the results | 09:29 |
| Sailor7009 | akiva-mobile: thank you, and for your patiente too, very glad | 09:29 |
| akiva-mobile | Sailor7009, its 230 am here :P | 09:29 |

| Justus | hi, is it possible to set up ssh to disallow tunneling from external hosts? | 09:32 |

| Justus | ok, following problem: ssh root@knima.de -i KroWin1.ssh -R 0.0.0.0:81:localhost:8000 <- as I understand it this should setup a remote listener that redirects to my local port 8000, but when I check it in netstat the listener is only on localhost | 09:36 |
| Welastevil | as I did with dockkk | 09:36 |
| Welastevil | I wanna have a 100% cklean descktop | 09:37 |

| Welastevil | so akiva-mobile, how can I get it? is it an Apps? | 09:45 |
| Welastevil | this sdk? | 09:45 |

| Welastevil | maximun that I did is a couerse for chuldren, "the hour of code" fro free in internet hahahaha | 09:47 |
| akiva-mobile | Welastevil, you might want to start with python as a programming language. | 09:47 |
| akiva-mobile | Qt uses C++, and it is... tough to say the least. | 09:48 |
| Welastevil | really? | 09:48 |
| Welastevil | can you sugest me some books to download or sites? | 09:48 |
| akiva-mobile | Welastevil, oh yah. | 09:48 |

| aib | newlad: can you execute the first command? | 10:03 |
| newlad | aib "sudo mkdir /etc/proftpd/authorized_keys" ? | 10:03 |
| akiva-mobile | squared, probably not, but I don't think it would be too hard to switch from ubuntu desktop to ubuntu server | 10:03 |
| squared | akiva-mobile: ok no worries, thanks for your help, i'll let you go | 10:04 |

| bekks | newlad: you cant create usernames containing spaces at all. | 10:43 |
| bekks | newlad: And the Users full name is irrelevant. | 10:43 |
| Unrecovered | bekks: thanks =) http://pastebin.com/50WKszTw it seems i have multiple... | 10:43 |
| Unrecovered | i don't really know which is in use =\ | 10:43 |
| bekks | Unrecovered: uname -a | 10:44 |
| Unrecovered | Linux homeserv 3.8.0-35-generic | 10:44 |
| newlad | bekks i am logged in in my pc as "Alex" not "jamie brown" | 10:44 |
| bekks | newlad: you never were logged in as "jamie brown" since thats just the full name and not the username. | 10:45 |
| bekks | Unrecovered: Then you have to check wether headers for all other kernels are installed too, or you have to remove the other kernel versions. | 10:45 |
| newlad | bekks do you mean the pc? or server username? | 10:45 |
| newlad | bekks my server username is "root" | 10:46 |
| bekks | newlad: why are you logged in as root on your server? | 10:46 |
| Unrecovered | bekks: it tries to compile for all the kernels at once?! O_o | 10:46 |
| Unrecovered | how can i remove them? | 10:46 |
| bekks | newlad: And of course I am talking about the computer you created alex and "jamie brown" as users. | 10:46 |
| bekks | Unrecovered: apt-get purge | 10:46 |
| Unrecovered | ok let's try that... | 10:47 |
| newlad | bekks am confused now. | 10:47 |
| bekks | newlad: "my shine user name" is a users usersname, while the username is "johndoe". | 10:47 |
| newlad | bekks i created a new user on my pc because aib said that because jamie brown as space between jamie and brown that why it wasn't working | 10:47 |
| bekks | newlad: And for usernames, spaces arent allowed at all, so you cant create a username containing spaces. | 10:48 |
| === thomas is now known as Guest15840 | ||
| newlad | bekks so i create a new user called alex and logged in as him so it is now "C:\Users\Alex\" | 10:48 |
| bekks | newlad: The _full name _contained spaces - and thats totally irrelevant. A username _cant_ contain spaces, so you could not have create it. | 10:48 |
| newlad | bekks so i have a NEW user called alex | 10:49 |
| bekks | newlad: You said that three times now. Yes. | 10:49 |
| newlad | so in my pc they are two accounts now "jamie brown" and "Alex" | 10:49 |
| bekks | newlad: You said that three times now. Yes. | 10:50 |
| newlad | bekks you said they i shouldnt have space so how does "Alex" have space? | 10:50 |
| bekks | newlad: Read what I wrote, again. | 10:50 |
| newlad | bekks didnt make sense that why i repeated myself | 10:51 |
| bekks | I am finally resting it, since I am getting impatient and this isnt Windows support. | 10:51 |

| Pouet | Hi there | 10:56 |
| Unrecovered | there is linux-image-3.8.0-35-generic, which is loaded now, and there is that linux-image-extra-3.8.0-35-generic | 10:56 |
| Unrecovered | hmm | 10:56 |
| bekks | Unrecovered: The -extra.. are just additional kernel modules. | 10:57 |
| Unrecovered | which i actually trying to add here =) | 10:57 |
| newlad | bekks thanks for your help it works :D | 10:57 |
| Unrecovered | well, nevermind, i'll stick to plan and remive all other kernels | 10:57 |

| cfhowlett | niller, the candidate for flgrx is 2.13.101 ... | 12:07 |
| niller | I'm sorry, what? =o | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | tisoy, exactly. lxde is the windows manager for lubuntu. that'll speed things | 12:07 |
| cfhowlett | niller, terminal apt-cache policy fglrx see what's available. if you're trying to use something NOT in the repos, you're basically beta testing. expect things to break | 12:08 |
| niller | Yea alright I can see that wouldnt be suited for me/.. :) | 12:09 |
| niller | But I did follow a step by step guide | 12:09 |
| niller | specifically for 12.04 | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | niller, "beta testing" ... | 12:09 |
| tisoy | how do i install?do i need to delete the old one before installing new lxde win manger? | 12:10 |

| cfhowlett | niller, right. so 2.13.251 is the version you want. if you're trying to do something newer than that, expect less than perfect results. | 12:12 |
| niller | the 2.13.251 version? Which one is that?! =o | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | niller, read the data you just posted | 12:13 |
| tisoy | thks..cfhowlett.. | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | tisoy, be safe, have fun | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | niller, actually one other possibility - since you have flgrx installed, do a dist-upgrade | 12:15 |
| niller | I can't make anything of that data I don't know what it's trying to tell me =o Please have some patience with me on this haha | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | niller, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:15 |

| Guest17647 | please, can you tell me, if I install 14.04 when the final version comes out, I'll have to reinstall?? | 12:15 |
| niller | I had catalyst 12.4 on my previous 12.04 install | 12:16 |

| Guest17647 | cfhowlett, I mean if I do a new installation before leaving the final version of ubuntu 14.04 | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Package catalyst does not exist in saucy | 12:18 |
| niller | Don't you get what I mean? | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | Guest17647, you can do a release to get the latest 14.04 | 12:18 |
| niller | I'm only familiar with the 12.4 12.x 13.x sort of versions | 12:18 |
| niller | 2.13.251 I'm completely clueless about which one that would be | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | niller, what version of ubuntu are you on? | 12:19 |
| niller | 12.04 lts | 12:19 |
| cfhowlett | niller, then you probably have the latest versoin | 12:19 |
| niller | Yea that's to be expect right? :) | 12:19 |
| niller | I just installed this last night | 12:20 |
| niller | I couldn't find any information anywhere about supported ubuntu versions | 12:20 |
| niller | "Ubuntu 12.04.2 and 13.04", it says in the release notes from 13.12 | 12:21 |
| niller | 12.04(.2?) | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | niller, 12.04.4 is the latest = which is why I recommended you run dist-upgrade quite a while ago | 12:22 |
| niller | yea, and I did but it wasnt necessary cause its already the latest | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | 12.4.2 is NOT the latest | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | what's the output of lsb_release -a | 12:23 |
| Guest17647 | thank you cfhowlett | 12:24 |
| niller | so I should go for the 12.4.2 version specifically to make this 13.12 catalyst work? | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | that's an option | 12:24 |
| niller | Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS | 12:25 |
| niller | ofcourse :) | 12:25 |
| niller | we've already discussed that | 12:25 |
| niller | Alright then I'll try that version. I was gonna do a reinstall for another attemp eventually. | 12:25 |
| niller | How can I download specific 12.04 versions? | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | does xubuntu use wicd as default? | 12:27 |
| niller | cfhowlett, I think we misunderstood eachother at some point when I said I was only familiar with 12.x and 13.x versions. I meant Catalyst versions not ubuntu versions. What Catalyst version would 2.13.251 be...? lol. | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | niller, the latest version available in the repo is the one you have installed. | 12:29 |
| niller | But I downloaded a specific version from amd and build it with deb packages | 12:30 |
| niller | how could that possibly have come from the ubuntu repos? :s | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | !deb|niller, | 12:30 |
| ubottu | niller,: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | niller, installing via .deb is not recommended as it typically misses the dependencies ... | 12:30 |
| niller | I downloaded the .run from amd, downloaded essential packages and then ran dpkg -i *.deb | 12:30 |
| niller | so what should I have done then? I followed a step by step guide from the ubuntu community | 12:31 |
| niller | this has worked for me several times in the past also :( | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | niller, start over. double check what you're doing. I don't do catalyst, so you might even ask someone other than me. | 12:32 |

The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 12:51 |
| ScarClaw | cfhowlett: I am only running a live CD not a DVD. And surely that is not going to help the situation now with getting it to install. Downloading it here would take far to long. | 12:53 |

| squared | What tool do you recommend for creating a bootable ubuntu server installation via usb from windows? | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | squared, unetbootin | 13:15 |
| Guest91469 | easyboot | 13:16 |
| lord4163 | sqlnoob: win32diskimager | 13:16 |
| becker_11 | Your best bet would be calling your isp they are paid to help you | 13:17 |
| becker_11 | and now the settings etc for your equipment | 13:17 |
| squared | great, i'll give unetbootin a go.. for a hp microserver would you recommend 12.04 or 13.10? | 13:18 |
| squared | i plan to use it as a fileserver with a few downloader tools | 13:18 |
| lord4163 | squared: you'd better wait for 14.04 | 13:18 |
| squared | lord4163: how come and when is it due out? | 13:18 |
| lord4163 | squared: about a month, maybe you can get the beta and just update, don't know how stable it is though but 12.04 is getting old | 13:19 |
| cfhowlett | squared, unnecessaryto wait. 13.10 and 12.04 will update directly to 14.04 so choose one and install | 13:19 |
| lord4163 | cfhowlett: yeah and then it crashes :) | 13:19 |
| cfhowlett | lord4163, maybe on your side - mine never had | 13:20 |
| cfhowlett | has | 13:20 |
| cfhowlett | squared, if this is a production/work server, I can see 14.04 beta - MAYBE. otherwise, 12.04 and upgrade to 14.04 next month | 13:21 |
| squared | it's for at home, nothing major, although i'd rather not have to keep rebuilding it | 13:21 |
| cfhowlett | squared, 12.04/13.10 and put /home in a dedicated partition. makes upgrading SO much easier | 13:22 |
| squared | it's been a long while since i used linux, and then it was Fedora.. is that something I'm asked (the location of /home) or something I have to do myself during/after install? | 13:22 |
| lord4163 | squared: yes | 13:23 |
| squared | lord4163: yes to which question? | 13:23 |
| cfhowlett | !home|squared, | 13:23 |

| gynter | Hello, I'm using precise with 3.2.0-60-generic-pae on i686. Wireless card is Gigabyte GN-WI01GS (lshw shows it as RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI). The problem is that NetworkManager and lshw are showing the wireless device as disabled. rfkill shows 'Hard blocked: yes'. When I try to press the 'Turn wifi on/off' button, then nothing happens and syslog contains 'atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed | 13:26 |
| gynter | (translated set 2, code 0x6d on isa0060/serio0).'. lsmod shows that rt61pci is loaded. | 13:26 |
| gynter | Any clues how can I enable my wireless device? | 13:27 |
| ravigehlot | My wireless card supports 5GHz as well as the Router but I am not getting that with Ubuntu 13.10. The router is set to force wireless cards to pick up on 5GHz. It is my laptop that it is not doing so. | 13:35 |
| lurch | when I run the "ls" command on my home directory, items are delimited by a newline. When I run "ls" in any other directory items are delimited by a tab character. What's up with that? | 13:35 |
| llutz | lurch: run "cd ; type ls" and compare with "cd /somewhere; type ls". any difference? | 13:37 |

| cfhowlett | grahamsavage, transmission has met my needs. YMMV | 13:39 |
| BitStick | nobody can tell me how to open a regular terminak in xfce? | 13:39 |
| grahamsavage | like VLC is the best media player, smartgit is the best graphical git gui, sublimetext is the best ide :D | 13:39 |
| grahamsavage | ok i'll check it out | 13:39 |
| BitStick | *terminal | 13:39 |
| lurch | My dream would be to have every item tab delimited. Newline delimited is frustrating to scroll through | 13:39 |
| shubhamjain | Right now I click sublime text icon, and it doesn't focus to sublime. The only thing I can do is to minimize all windows. | 13:40 |
| BitStick | how do i open a terminal in xfce? | 13:40 |
| lurch | llutz, Both are aliased to ls --color=auto. I would prefer everything to be tab-delimited since newline delimited is frustrating to scroll through | 13:40 |

| Rallias | If you are 13.10 is your best bet, but you'll have to update in april. Otherwise 12.04 (which you'll want to update in april, but it's not as pressing) | 14:37 |
| plasma | streulma: or you use 14.04 beta | 14:37 |
| plasma | 14.04 is LTS too | 14:37 |

| daftykins | squared: what does /etc/resolv.conf read? | 16:02 |
| netrunner__ | nice :) but there's three different options to choose from, tho they all have the same description, why is that? | 16:03 |
| daftykins | netrunner__: choice! :) | 16:03 |

| daftykins | netrunner__: i don't know what you're seeing | 16:04 |
| netrunner__ | in additional drivers | 16:04 |
| netrunner__ | when I run jockey-gtk | 16:04 |
| daftykins | squared: ok, 'sudo -s' enter password, then 'echo <your router IP> > /etc/resolv.conf' | 16:04 |
| squared | daftykins, well. besides the comments about not editing it directl | 16:04 |
| netrunner__ | theres three different "video driver for the amd graphics accelerators" with the same description | 16:04 |
| daftykins | netrunner__: different versions surely | 16:05 |
| netrunner__ | but it doesn't say anything about versions | 16:05 |
| netrunner__ | how can I make sure I install the best/latest | 16:05 |
| OerHeks | netrunner, enlarge that screen so you can see version numbers, try to search a little bit more | 16:05 |
| netrunner__ | there's no version numbers. it's the Additional Drivers gui | 16:06 |
| netrunner__ | there's just titles and a simple description | 16:06 |
| daftykins | make us a screenshot? | 16:06 |
| OerHeks | netrunner__, yes it does. | 16:06 |

| === FireMedic is now known as FiremanEd | ||
| OnkelTem | OerHeks: thanks. You Google Kung-Fu is better then mine! | 16:15 |
| ScarClaw | cfhowlett: You've been here a while. Its a 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I had 10.04 running well on here without a problem before I moved it onto Mint. | 16:17 |
| bekks | squared: And now you are on Mint? | 16:18 |
| squared | mint? | 16:18 |
| bekks | squared: Sorry, mistabbed :) | 16:19 |
| cfhowlett | ScarClaw, given everything you've tried, I can't think of any software reason for the consistent failure ... | 16:19 |

| llutz | squared: 127.0.0.1? | 16:21 |
| ScarClaw | bekks: No I am on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Live CD, I deleted my Mint trying to get it working | 16:21 |
| squared | so i'm guessing, i could fix it by installing a dns server? | 16:21 |
| squared | no, 192.168.0.69, its own ip | 16:21 |
| ScarClaw | cfhowlett: Could it be my CD rom? | 16:21 |
| bekks | squared: No, installing a DNS server is like using a ballistic missile when hunting fleas. | 16:21 |

| cfhowlett | ScarClaw, seems doubtful since you did get a successful boot --- | 16:22 |
| EndymionM | bekks: There's no kill like overkill, though. | 16:22 |
| cfhowlett | ScarClaw, do you have USB boot support? | 16:22 |
| bekks | squared: Nope. you just installed predefined packages. ;) | 16:22 |
| squared | bekks.. oh ok. | 16:23 |
| llutz | squared: add for test purpose "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to /etc/resolv.conf, does it work? | 16:23 |
| ScarClaw | cfhowlett: No, not to mention I am not that familiar with it having always used a CD. | 16:24 |
| llutz | squared: "dig www.ubuntu.com" to test | 16:24 |
| cfhowlett | ScarClaw, grrr | 16:24 |
| cfhowlett | ScarClaw, well, I've got to say, if mint was running, use that instead - until you buy a new computer - or until 14.04 comes out next month | 16:25 |
| netrunner__ | hey guys there's still no version names for the drivers | 16:26 |
| netrunner__ | they all say "Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators" | 16:27 |
| netrunner__ | all three, | 16:27 |
| netrunner__ | same short description | 16:27 |
| netrunner__ | "vider driver for the amd radeno and firegl graphics accelerators. this pacakge provides 2d opengl blabla" | 16:27 |
| netrunner__ | Is there a jockey-gtk command to install the recommended driver? | 16:27 |
| netrunner__ | there's virtually no way to seewhich one is which version | 16:28 |
| ScarClaw | cfhowlett: I would have continued using Mint but there are issues with my service provider blocking most of the mint ports including the help channel. I have been completely cut of ruining my experience with it and thats why I want to come back to Ubuntu. Sorry its a long story. | 16:28 |
| squared | all working, thanks bekks, cfhowlett and all.. misconfigured by me! | 16:29 |
| daftykins | squared: lol did you put your system's own IP in as DNS? | 16:29 |
| cfhowlett | Scarclaw, OK. really wish could offer some actual assistance but this one is beyond me | 16:29 |
| squared | daftykins: yeah :/ | 16:29 |
| cfhowlett | squared, so - happy again? | 16:29 |
| daftykins | squared: even though i said 'router IP' ? :D | 16:29 |
| squared | yeah, wasn't concentrating on what i was doing | 16:29 |
| daftykins | ah well all's well that ends well | 16:29 |
| daftykins | until you reboot... | 16:30 |
| ScarClaw | cfhowlett: Its been like that for me since the beginning :D | 16:30 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | ScarClaw: you may also check whether install works properly by using Virtualbox before you actually attempt for fresh install. That way you will come across such errors in virtual environment beforehand. Most of the times, install errors happen because of faulty media in my experience. | 16:31 |
| daftykins | netrunner__: did you make a screenshot to show us? sure you can't drag the window out sideways? | 16:32 |
| Tomgie | When I goto myip/phpmyadmin it just gives me a download called download | 16:32 |
| netrunner__ | Yes I've maximised at and done all I possibly could, but it's easy to see that it just doesnt show versions... | 16:33 |
| cornfeedhobo | hello hello. I need to make a Win7 VM and in the past I am just used to using VirtualBox, mostly because it's got a siple GUI and I can get right to work. I haven't used VMs on desktops in a while now, are there other options that anyone can recommend that i should explore? | 16:33 |
| cornfeedhobo | simple* | 16:33 |
| daftykins | cornfeedhobo: virtualbox is still the best free, no reason to change | 16:34 |
| llutz | cornfeedhobo: if you feel comfortable with virtualbox, use it | 16:34 |
| ScarClaw | KyouReeUs4nfo: Well I don't see how it can be faulty media when I am chatting now off the live CD and the Linux Mint runs okay? | 16:34 |
| daftykins | netrunner__: what card is this? | 16:34 |
| netrunner__ | I just went for one of them now. Which one is the known latest driver? | 16:34 |
| netrunner__ | hd7660d | 16:34 |
| netrunner__ | compiz just crashed after reboot | 16:34 |
| cornfeedhobo | daftykins & llutz: thats what i thought. thanks! | 16:35 |

| brettt | Can you clone a partition directly onto a dvd or bluray? | 16:35 |
| EndymionM | Okay, I don't care if you all think this is stupid or not. Is there any way to disable this 'sudo' nonsense in 12.04.4 LTS? | 16:35 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | ScarClaw: are you trying to install from that live CD of Linux Mint? | 16:36 |
| llutz | EndymionM: not supported here, we don't care what you think about sudo | 16:36 |
| cfhowlett | EndymionM, exactomundo ^^^ | 16:37 |
| ScarClaw | KyouReeUs4nfo: No I am trying to install from the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS live CD which is running now as I am chatting. | 16:37 |
| llutz | and btw, if one doesn't know how to circumvent that, he'd better use sudo | 16:38 |

| EndymionM | llutz, cfhowlett: Well, this is really proving to me that Microsoft seems to put out a far more user-friendly product. Y'know, like being able to install a freakin' game without some arcane nonsense. | 16:38 |
| seednode | netameta, yeah, let all of our users run as root | 16:39 |
| seednode | netrunner__, I mean | 16:39 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | ScarCalw: so on your hard-drive, there is no OS currently installed, that correct? | 16:39 |
| llutz | EndymionM: who cares | 16:39 |
| netrunner__ | ye xserver run user as root, forever secure | 16:39 |
| cfhowlett | EndymionM, if that's all it takes, then yes, you're probably better off with MSFT. best of luck with that. | 16:39 |
| brettt | My understanding is that you can't use dd to directly clone a partition with a single command. I just thought that cloning a partition onto a bluray would be very usefull if you want to restore it later... | 16:39 |
| brettt | anyone know how to do this? | 16:40 |
| brettt | ... correction: use dd to clone to dvd/bluray directly | 16:40 |
| seednode | brett, well assuming you have the bluray in, and it's detected, it would be dd if=/partition/to/be/copied of=/bluray/disk, replaced with actual locations of course | 16:40 |
| daftykins | although you're going to write a lot of wasted zeroes there - so dd is a terrible idea for backup to optical media | 16:41 |

| seednode | You're coming here, being impolite to people trying to help, and ignoring anything they say | 16:43 |

| cfhowlett | Hunt_e107, greetings - what is your ubuntu question? | 17:01 |
| Hunt_e107 | does anyone one know how to install Xen on ubuntu 13.04 desktop | 17:01 |
| gooses89 | Hey guys, im trying to get some java to run on server start. I have a .sh in the folder with the jar. And the init.d script. Both are fairly basic scripts. The problem I am running into is if I dont bash the .sh from within the folder, the jar tries to run in the current folder and it can't find it's configs. | 17:01 |
| Spectrum | Hunt_e107: What is Xen? | 17:01 |
| cfhowlett | Hunt_e107, xen is end of life and no longer supported | 17:01 |
| daftykins | Hunt_e107: Xen was ditched as the main supported virtualisation technology 4'ish years ago so unsure what luck you'll have now, search the package lists for a xen kernel | 17:01 |
| cfhowlett | 13.04 | 17:01 |
| cfhowlett | sorry zen is good 13.04 is dead | 17:01 |
| Hunt_e107 | I cudnt find anything that points to 13.04 | 17:02 |
| Hunt_e107 | its all upto 12.04 | 17:02 |
| Hunt_e107 | I believe KVM is the supported hypervisor for Ubuntu is that right? | 17:02 |
| cfhowlett | !info xen | 17:02 |
| ubottu | Package xen does not exist in saucy | 17:02 |
| Hunt_e107 | no it doesnt | 17:03 |
| Hunt_e107 | !info xen | 17:03 |
| cfhowlett | Hunt_e107, appears that xen has been deprecated | 17:03 |
| Hunt_e107 | ok | 17:03 |
| Hunt_e107 | let me check KVM if that's in the repo. | 17:03 |
| gooses89 | Anyone able to help me with my issue? Can't figure it out. | 17:04 |
| Hunt_e107 | gooses89: whats the issue? | 17:04 |
| cfhowlett | !server|gooses89, maybe ask in the server channel | 17:05 |
| ubottu | gooses89, maybe ask in the server channel: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

| KyouReeUs4nfo | Phibonacci: hold shift key for more than few seconds to get to it. | 17:22 |
| Beldar | BitStick, Possible yes. | 17:22 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, suggested practice is windows install first, then ubuntu | 17:23 |
| BitStick | well, i already have ubuntu on here so can i do windows 7 now? or would i have to install windows 7 than reinstall ubuntu? | 17:23 |
| sytrus | why don't you just run a VM with windows on it? | 17:23 |
| OerHeks | BitStick, try it, and you will see you need to install windows first | 17:23 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, install windows now. it will kill your grub install. don't worry. ubuntu is still there. you;ll need to reinstall grub to get both OS on a menu | 17:24 |
| BitStick | grub? | 17:24 |
| cfhowlett | !grub | 17:24 |

| BitStick | does my ubuntu 13.10 live cd have the boot repair automatically? i dont recall seeing that | 17:26 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, no it does not - reinstalling grub does require boot repair ... all this said, it is MUCH easier to install win7 and then ubuntu. pick your poison | 17:27 |
| BitStick | i already have ubuntu on here tho, id rather not have to reinstall it :/ | 17:27 |
| sytrus | Bitstick, are you planning on using ubuntu or windows as you primary OS? | 17:28 |
| sytrus | if you are using Ubuntu, just install windows on a virtual machine | 17:28 |
| BitStick | ubuntu as primary, i wiped off windows 8.1 so i could have ubuntu | 17:28 |
| sytrus | then you don't have to worry about any of this | 17:28 |
| BitStick | i need windows 7 for some games, im not a big fan of wine | 17:28 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, virtualbox + win7 | 17:28 |
| sytrus | how much memory do you have? | 17:28 |
| BitStick | 4gb ram | 17:28 |
| sytrus | eh | 17:28 |
| BitStick | can go higher, but i dont have another stick | 17:28 |
| sytrus | games via a VM will run like shit with that little RAM | 17:29 |
| Phibonacci | KyouReeUs4nfo and Beldar : there is the output from boot info script | 17:29 |
| BitStick | would i have to partition or would windows 7 be able to partition some off for itself? | 17:29 |
| sytrus | when you create a VM you allocate a set amount of RAM to the VM | 17:29 |

| OerHeks | BitStick, ask in ##windows, we stated you need to installwindows first. | 17:30 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, ^^^ gotta agree | 17:30 |
| BitStick | i wouldnt need windows 7 at all if i could get battle.net to run | 17:31 |
| sytrus | yea, if you're trying to run games a VM is going to suck ass | 17:31 |
| BitStick | but wine is so finicky and i suck at trying to configure it and figure it out lol | 17:31 |
| OerHeks | !language | sytrus | 17:31 |

| Beldar | Phibonacci, When you used that chroot you showed us which partition did you mount to have the grub control? | 17:32 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, bite the bullet and set up a proper dual boot. win7 then ubuntu. | 17:32 |
| BitStick | im worried about trying that cfhowlett | 17:32 |
| BitStick | because when this came with windows 8.1 i spent 2-3 months untill last night finally getting it run the live cd | 17:32 |
| cfhowlett | BitStick, ??? | 17:32 |
| BitStick | had to spam the hell out of the f buttons to get to the bios to turn off secureboot and change settings | 17:32 |
| Beldar | BitStick, You can image/clone the ubuntu install and slip W7 in and reload ubuntu. | 17:33 |
| Phibonacci | Beldar: /dev/sdb5 | 17:33 |
| Beldar | Phibonacci, sdb5 was the HD and the usb reversed on the mount, it should be sda5? | 17:33 |
| BitStick | i have no clue what that even means let alone how to do it | 17:33 |
| BitStick | but its fine, ill just not be able to play WoW/Hearthstone | 17:33 |
| Phibonacci | the usb was sda and the hdd was sdb | 17:33 |

| gabmus | hello people, I have a really big problem with my ubuntu-gnome installation: for some reason GDM isn't showing, it shows a blank screen with the mouse pointer on boot. This happened after enabling the magnifier in gdm from the top accessibility menu. I'm stuck, can't login into gnome, what do i do? | 17:34 |
| Phibonacci | oh no, my bad Beldar, sda was the hdd and sdb the usb, I used sda5 | 17:35 |
| Beldar | Phibonacci, The script shows it should boot, if it were me I would boot ubuntu with supergrub and just do the mbr load from its desktop. I have supergrub on a stick already though. | 17:35 |
| pfifo | gabmus: are you sure you cant just scroll the screen around with the mouse and get to the options for disabling the magifier | 17:36 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | Phibonacci: what is on sda6? | 17:36 |
| gabmus | pfifo: the screen isnt magnified, the pointer dimension is normal | 17:36 |
| afiefh | Is there a way to make Grub more beautiful? I saw the grub-theme-starfield package, and was hoping there are more themes | 17:36 |
| gabmus | and all the screen is plain black | 17:36 |
| Beldar | Phibonacci, If it will boot supergrub will boot it http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ this is one way to see if it boots at all. | 17:36 |

| gabmus | is there some sort of way for like reset gdm completely? | 17:38 |
| Beldar | afief, here is the manual, there are ubuntu wiki's for some grub mods like backgrounds....etc. https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html | 17:38 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | Phibonacci: my guess is it could be partitioning error too, since your windows partitions are the only ones that seem bootable. | 17:38 |
| Phibonacci | KyouReeUs4nfo: I don't know what is on sda6, it's a dump from my school and they did a lot of messy things (2 swap partition...) | 17:39 |
| afiefh | Beldar: thanks, but are there sites that host different themes for download like gnome/kde-look? | 17:39 |
| pfifo | gabmus: dpkg-reconfigure --force gdm | 17:40 |
| Beldar | afiefh, I have not see this for grub, there have been gui apps that kinda work however. Be careful here, it is the boot. | 17:40 |
| Phibonacci | I'm fixing the computer of a friend actually. He's telling me he got this bug by trying to allocate free space with a random partion program he found on windows (not the one integrated to windows). | 17:40 |
| Phibonacci | It's fairly possible this program messed with the partition. | 17:41 |
| afiefh | Beldar: well I have spent the last two days getting my dual boot to work. Nothing can scare me now! | 17:41 |
| gabmus | ok done let me reboot (im writing in tty5 from irssi) | 17:41 |
| gabmus | gabmus_laptop will be me from laptop just in case | 17:41 |
| Beldar | afiefh, The ubuntu forum is full of grub mods, I would look around there. | 17:42 |
| gabmus_laptop | im here | 17:42 |
| gabmus_laptop | still same problem, nothing solveed | 17:42 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | Phibonacci: I have no clue if that would have been the cause of the problem but it is quite possible that MBR may have been messed with. | 17:42 |
| pfifo | gabmus_laptop: if I ran into this problem I would restore from backup | 17:43 |
| gabmus_laptop | what backup lol | 17:44 |
| bobkosse | thats the spirit! ;-) | 17:44 |
| gabmus_laptop | no backups here, I should start making them someday | 17:44 |
| Phibonacci | Is there a way to restore the MMR ? | 17:44 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | Phibonacci: I would try to fix it by windows bootable CD to fix MBR from that end and then make Linux partition bootable from that side and reboot. | 17:44 |
| gabmus_laptop | pfifo: but come on there must be another way, this is like the most stupid issue I've ever had | 17:44 |
| Beldar | Phibonacci, The HD as of now has one swap. | 17:45 |
| Beldar | Doh I see two now my mistake | 17:45 |
| pfifo | gabmus_laptop: find where gdm keeps its configs and edit and/or delete the offending lines/files. Find out what program is actually doing the magnifacation and try uninstalling or reconfiguring that | 17:46 |
| gabmus_laptop | thats a good idea, but my guess is that someway gdm itself got screwed up, BECAUSE of the maybe working magnifying program | 17:47 |
| squared | hey guys, currently upgrading from 12.04 and it's asking me about whether i want change the /etc/default/grub to the package manager version or my local version, what are the consequences of keeping my own version after an upgrade? | 17:47 |
| gabmus_laptop | but trying isnt a problem | 17:47 |
| OerHeks | squared, we don't know, what is your version? | 17:47 |
| pfifo | gabmus_laptop: maybe uninstall gdm and switch to lxdm or another dm | 17:47 |
| daftykins | squared: make a backup, say yes, then it won't matter | 17:48 |
| gabmus_laptop | pfifo: what about wiping the entire gnome configuration? that's a minor consequence after all. could that work? | 17:48 |
| pfifo | gabmus_laptop: might as well queue up "learn to make simple gzip compressed disk images with dd program" to your todo list | 17:49 |
| pfifo | gabmus_laptop: im not sure if that would really solve the problem, gnome and gdm are different, they might not share the same configuration | 17:50 |
| gabmus_laptop | pfifo: they share some important stuff since gnome 3 | 17:50 |
| gabmus_laptop | trying wont hurt | 17:50 |
| dpe | rms | 17:50 |
| Beldar | squared, If you have modified it to have to OS run use it, otherwise it does not really matter, in general. | 17:50 |

| maujhsn | pfifo I'll check into it thanks! | 18:09 |
| bekks | SonikkuAmerica: By the design of both MD5 and SHA, it is technically possible to have totally different content in files which will produce the same hash. Thats the caveat of a hash. It is not a unique checksum, but a checksum. The propability of collisions is very very small, and, in addition, you will not be able to let's say modify the dns server in /etc/resolv.conf for using a compromised dns server (as an example). | 18:09 |

| gabmus_laptop | before getting black the screen flashes and i can see a magnified cursor. the problem then IS the magnifier. now, the only thing is that it is not a specific package but it's part of gnome, so the only thing i have to do is find the file that manages that option and manually change it | 18:16 |
| Beldar | e^0, It installs in a file in windows, hibernate needs a swap partition, or file at the least. | 18:16 |

| Flannel | declan2: So, if you want to install some DE/WM that isn't a fully fledged flavor, install with the server CD, you'll get a text-only install, and then you can install openbox/whatever and all the programs you want | 18:23 |
| maujhsn | cfhowlett So you are suggesting that I expand my channel congestion? :) | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | declan2: yes, thats fine. You will use Gnome deps etc which will take up resources but it will run without issue | 18:23 |
| pfifo | declan2: gnome libs will be installed as dependacies if you choose to install a package that needs them (same with libs from kde) | 18:24 |
| declan2 | Yeah makes sense | 18:24 |
| declan2 | Alright so right now I have it partitioned, I have my windows partition which I want to leave there, and my arch partition(s) which I want to replace with ubuntu | 18:24 |
| declan2 | I think I have boot, /, and /home on different partitions | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | declan2: just delete the Arch partitions in Windows then boot to the Ubuntu install CD and install to the freed space as you wish | 18:25 |
| declan2 | ActionParsnip: Alright, any suggestions on what tool to use in windows? | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | declan2: the default disk manager is fine..... | 18:27 |

| Beldar | JCM83, click on the account I assume or restart thunderbird. | 19:08 |

| ubottu | Radiad: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 19:08 |
| cyclist_2 | Hi, there! How do I obtain the package Java6-runtime? I installed the defaault-jre, but that's not sufficient to run a new program I installed | 19:08 |
| k1l_ | Radiad: for xampp specific questions please see their support | 19:08 |
| Radiad | Yeah but when I try to install "libapache2-mod-mbstring", then Ubuntu doesn't find it | 19:09 |
| Phibonacci | Beldar: but I have access to grub now. Why do you say it did not work ? | 19:09 |
| JCM83 | Beldar, that did it, thanks. Seems like it ought to have a "change password" option somewhere. | 19:10 |
| k1l_ | Radiad: if you use xampp it dosnt make sense at all | 19:10 |

| lewis__ | when i try to access my computer using xrpd from windows 7 i can not see my taskbar any ideas? | 19:11 |

| Phibonacci | It's working Beldar. ;) | 19:12 |

| misingnoglic | Hey, when I boot xubuntu the boot screen comes on but then it gets stuck on a black screen with a small white line in the top left | 19:47 |
| misingnoglic | how do I fix this? | 19:47 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: can you switch to another tty? like ctrl+alt+f6? | 19:48 |
| misingnoglic | skinofstars: can you elaborate? when do I press ctrl alt f6? | 19:49 |
| skinofstars | misingnogwhen you get to the failed boot screen.... let's back up a bit. how far through the boot are you getting? | 19:49 |
| misingnoglic | it is before I can log on | 19:50 |
| misingnoglic | it's just the blue xubuntu loading scree | 19:50 |
| misingnoglic | (This time there's no white line) | 19:51 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: what graphics card do you have? | 19:51 |
| misingnoglic | skinofstars: Graphics Adapter: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 500 | 19:52 |
| misingnoglic | Also this wasn't ever a problem | 19:52 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: i'd try pressing crtl+alt+f6 or something when it gets too that point. at least then you have a command line you can debug on. | 19:52 |
| misingnoglic | well at the black screen there's no response from ctrl alt f6, I'll try at the blue loading screen | 19:53 |
| daftykins | heh why as far as the sixth? :> | 19:53 |
| skinofstars | daftykins: i go for the 6th as it's the one before the gui. i guess ctrl+alt+f1 would be fine :) | 19:54 |
| misingnoglic | ctrl+alt+f6 didn't do anything any time during the boot (Also the white line is back) | 19:54 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | shutchie: I would recommend finding out the dependencies for that package and installing those packages first before reinstalling ICE. | 19:54 |

| skinofstars | misingnoglic: probably :) | 19:56 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: you can change your boot options to just boot to a terminal | 19:56 |
| misingnoglic | How do I do that if I can't boot into anything? | 19:56 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: sorry, give me a moment. i normally google this stuff as i go. in the grub menu you can change your boot options to just go to a terminal. it'll use a basic graphics driver that shouln't give you any issues. | 19:58 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: once you are there, you can revert that edit you made that's causing the issues | 19:59 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | shutchie: please provide the name of the ice package that you are trying to install. | 20:01 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: right, iif you don't get it already then you should be able get to the grub menu by pressing shift during load | 20:01 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: then you can edit the boot options. after it says 'quiet splash' add 'text' | 20:02 |
| misingnoglic | Thank you, I found the shift thing but wasn't sure when to hold it lol | 20:02 |

| skinofstars | misingnoglic: xorg.conf files can be a real pain... maybe that's why they removed them! | 20:14 |
| misingnoglic | Is there another way to fix it then? When I close my netbook the screen just turns black (and the xorg actually fixed it lol) | 20:15 |
| misingnoglic | And yeah I finally understand this xkcd http://xkcd.com/963/ | 20:15 |
| skinofstars | misingnoglic: that might be the way to do it, but you're gonna have to include a lot of other setup settings in the file which are normally managed automatically | 20:16 |

I'm thinking of creating a LVM across the two drives so taht it is one volume with directories that I see fit.. can anyone give me any advice on how I can do this? | 20:56 |

| EleanorEllis | I don't know if this is an Ubuntu issue or a Google Chrome issue. On chrome when uploading a file to a webpage, the open file dialog shows only a detailed list view with tiny thumbnails. It doesn't give choices for icon or compact view as does Nautilus. The main problem is that when uploading pictures I can't easily see which one is which until I click on each for a preview. Is this a behaviour of chrome or Ubuntu and can I change | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | EleanorEllis: what web page are you uploading to? | 21:03 |

| shutchie | KyouReeUs4nfo_: http://pastebin.com/L0MQJCjQ | 21:07 |

| shutchie | KyouReeUs4nfo_: still no :/ | 21:27 |
| clue_h | HauntJemimah, yes, using virtual box with xp as a guest, you can do that | 21:28 |
| HauntJemimah | sweet | 21:28 |
| HauntJemimah | do you guys know any links for a first timer like me? | 21:28 |
| hwhite | Whenever I try to run the shell script to install a driver for my printer, I get an "Error opening terminal: xterm" error | 21:29 |
| HauntJemimah | reason being, they're cutting support for xp soon and I would like to switch to linux to continue to get updates | 21:29 |
| Beldar | HauntJemimah, So how you going to run the virtual with a eol on XP? | 21:29 |

| Daekdroom | Because it mostly refer to software/OS' | 21:30 |
| HauntJemimah | that's the point exactly | 21:30 |
| HauntJemimah | I would run linux but boot windows xp for my windows based programs | 21:30 |
| HauntJemimah | its an old comp so I can't really run vista either as a bootable machine | 21:31 |

| guntbert | HauntJemimah: take it easy on the <enter> key please - you are scrolling the channel much faster | 21:32 |
| HauntJemimah | so get a live cd right | 21:32 |
| Beldar | HauntJemimah, You would more likely to succeed with a dualboot and a light desktop like lubuntu, depends really on the computers hardware. | 21:33 |
| HauntJemimah | its got a single core AM2+ socket Athlon 3800+, with a ATI Radeon X1600XT | 21:34 |

| Beldar | found* | 21:34 |
| HauntJemimah | so basically, I would run Ubuntu, and run XP in a virtual machine right | 21:35 |
| HauntJemimah | that's what I plan to do, not the other way around lol | 21:35 |
| Beldar | XP run better virtually at least here. | 21:35 |
| OerHeks | that ati 1600 will be the bottleneck | 21:35 |
| hwhite | I am trying to get my Dell v305 printer to work on Ubuntu, however the Dell site does not list a Linux option for their drivers, and it does not seem to be pre-installed. | 21:35 |
| HauntJemimah | yeah I do plan on upgrading the whole comp for like $250 max by buying parts off ebay | 21:36 |
| HauntJemimah | I don't have money for a 1k machine trust me | 21:36 |
| HauntJemimah | I just use this for internet, Finale, Python coding, music, and sometimes emulators | 21:36 |

| newhoa | I'm looking for a video capture card to capture old VHS tapes. I'd like to capture the RAW video. I was looking at some used Hauppauge PVR-150 cards. I know a lot of Windows users had trouble capturing RAW from these (it forced the use of MPEG hardware encoder). Does anyone have any experience with these on Ubuntu (or Linux in general)? | 22:11 |
| guntbert | huckfinn: don't expect anything in that regard | 22:11 |
| guntbert | rww: :-)) | 22:11 |
| newhoa | Or does anyone know of any video capture card that will capture raw analog/s-video that works well with Linux? | 22:11 |
| huckfinn | guntbert, rww, I am not asking question to entertain sarcasms. this is a real question for assistance for now to real ubuntu people that I often meet here. | 22:13 |
| rww | huckfinn: and as I've told you already, this is not going to go anywhere. If there was some way to bypass LUKS, it wouldn't be popular. | 22:13 |
| rww | huckfinn: If you can't remember the password for that volume, you are not going to get the data from it back. | 22:13 |
| guntbert | huckfinn: you will not find a tool to easily break that encryption - that was what we both were essentially saying | 22:14 |
| rww | huckfinn: The process for checking whether a password is correct takes enough CPU time that it is not feasible to brute force it, which is what e.g. hashcat would do. | 22:14 |
| huckfinn | rww, but if I'm not mistaken hashcat had a recent version that went farther than brute force. | 22:16 |
| fep | OerHeks, the only thing that page gave me was fear of screwing up my windows :p is there really no "walktrough" to be found? | 22:16 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | huckfinn: on a sidenote, will hashcat work if the password is alphanumeric, more than 15 characters long, multilingual and it is not found in a dictionary? | 22:16 |
| rww | huckfinn: the only thing that's "farther than brute force" would be some bug in LUKS' implementation or an attack on the underlying algorithms, neither of which exist to my knowledge. Again, you're welcome to spend time using it, but it is not going to get you anything. | 22:17 |
| huckfinn | KyouReeUs4nfo_ these are the questions that I'd also be interested to know | 22:17 |
| streulma | hello, on Ubuntu, the sound from Ubuntu is not better then on Windows, in Windows I notice a subwoofer I think, it's Acer, is there a fix ? | 22:18 |
| huckfinn | rww, I see | 22:18 |
| rww | KyouReeUs4nfo_: depending on how exactly the volume was set up, it can take on the order of seconds to check a potential password for validity. Even if it were 8 characters long, that's a lot of seconds. | 22:18 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | huckfinn: cloud computing may expedite the recovery but who knows | 22:18 |
| clue_h | cloud = internet lol | 22:20 |
| rww | e.g. with one second per password, only checking alphabetic passwords that are 8 characters long, that's >6000 years | 22:21 |
| rww | so if you go cloud together 6000 CPUs, it's going to take you a year and presumably bankrupt you. | 22:21 |

| navel | hello all | 22:24 |
| huckfinn | rww, but we hear in the news that it doesnt require 3000 years but maybe a week for a police department to get to contents of a hard drive | 22:24 |
| mcl0vin | guntbert, i wont | 22:24 |
| rww | huckfinn: if you pay close attention to news articles on the subject, you'll find that state decryption of encrypted drives tends to happen through the person who knows the password giving it out, or insecure storage of key material. | 22:24 |
| rww | huckfinn: no you don't. | 22:24 |

| Beldar | ekodauhm, Lucid Desktop is end of life and not supported. | 22:25 |
| navel | anybody knows how to enable flash HW acceleration in firefox (ubuntu 14.04) | 22:25 |
| ekodauhm | ok thx :( | 22:26 |
| Beldar | navel, #ubuntu+1 is the 14.04 channel. | 22:26 |
| navel | join #ubuntu+1 | 22:27 |
| rww | huckfinn: go look at the recent NSA leaks, for example. There's a reason why all of the leaked documentation is talking about putting holes in crypto standards or convincing some company to put in backdoors or other such indirect attacks. It's because well-done cryptography (which LUKS is) is not mathematically feasible to break. | 22:27 |

| Su7 | Hi all, I'm having issues with 13.04 and bumblebee | 22:28 |
| guntbert | mcl0vin: *you* gave that name - where did you get it? Are you following some guide? | 22:28 |
| huckfinn | rww, isnt that the problem itself? we or many of us buy commercially available drives, e.g. WD drives were named in those leaks as backdoored | 22:29 |
| mcl0vin | guntbert, am just thinking to apt-get remove --purge <ssh> | 22:29 |
| Su7 | my CPU fan won't start since bumblebee is installed, causing a very high CPU overheating on my laptop | 22:29 |
| Su7 | this is a critic issue | 22:29 |
| rww | huckfinn: WD having backdoors doesn't matter if everything that you write to the disk is already encrypted. backdoors on the actual drives are dealing with the encryption that the drive and computer firmware do themselves | 22:29 |
| guntbert | mcl0vin: did you mess with the settings? else that will not help in any way | 22:29 |
| rww | (which is not what LUKS does) | 22:29 |
| Su7 | I have an Optimus Intel + nVidia configuration | 22:29 |
| Su7 | no sign of any fan in sensors output neither | 22:30 |
| mcl0vin | guntbert, thats from tail -f /var/log/auth.log | 22:30 |
| mcl0vin | guntbert, no i didn't | 22:31 |
| huckfinn | rww, didnt know that an external disk drive encrypted anything by itself. | 22:31 |
| rww | huckfinn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-based_full_disk_encryption | 22:31 |
| rww | huckfinn: that's the sort of thing that WD would be putting a backdoor in | 22:31 |
| rww | huckfinn: LUKS is all software-based | 22:32 |

| Bob876 | Hi guys. I accidentally nuked my files from my Ubuntu server. I am in panic mode and I turned it off. Could someone walk me through a recovery? | 22:35 |
| huckfinn | rww, considering the leaks, can we reasonably assume that nsa&co. doesnt have a superhyper computer to break even luks? | 22:35 |
| bekks | Bob876: Restore the backup. | 22:35 |
| guntbert | huckfinn: back to ubuntu support please | 22:36 |
| Beldar | bcuraboy, http://askubuntu.com/questions/58528/whats-the-difference-between-gdm-and-lightdm | 22:36 |
| rww | huckfinn: even if they do, if your threat model includes the NSA stealing your hard drive without you noticing it, imaging it, and then putting it back, you probably should be asking someone more expensive than #ubuntu for help | 22:36 |
| Bob876 | I did have a backup. I upgraded owncloud to version 6 and it deleted the files. That synced to my main computer. | 22:36 |

| bekks | Bob876: Ermm, no. It is a cloud, where you can store stuff. | 22:38 |
| huckfinn | rww, no, I was just generally comparing it in terms of level of security | 22:39 |
| Bob876 | The backup server is 10 feet away if that's what you mean. I have physical access. | 22:39 |

| bekks | KyouReeUs4nfo_: lowlatency is for low latency, the generic isnt for low latency. | 23:18 |
| bekks | KyouReeUs4nfo_: Low latency like in "I have a real time application", not like in "my system feels so fast". | 23:18 |
| ShutterBC | low latency is probably better if you have a specific need for it -- like real time audio/video processing or something | 23:19 |

| Bashing-om | Su7: Following your troubles with BumbleBee/Nvidia-Prime // I do not think both can be installed at the same time. - mutually exclusive - HTH . | 23:36 |
| Su7 | Bashing-om: I was just trying to find a solution to this - installing nvidia 319 didn't solve anything at all. | 23:37 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | pfifo: will isoboot work if grub has issues? | 23:39 |
| jjavaholic | pfifo:what is in your top ten unix/linux programs? | 23:39 |

| streulma | Hello, is Acer good to run Ubuntu on it? I had problems with HP and ASUS. | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | Su7: Yeah understand ! .. but Pick one or the other -> Seems I recall that N-P disbles switching (??). | 23:41 |
| EleanorEllis | streulma: I run Ubuntu on an Acer without too many problems | 23:41 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | pfifo: I prefer live-USB over booting an ISO from hard-drive or from GRUB for rescue | 23:41 |
| pfifo | jjavaholic: sed, grep, less, tail, head, dd, cat, >> and & | 23:42 |
| pfifo | KyouReeUs4nfo_: boot an ISO stored on a USB? | 23:42 |
| pfifo | KyouReeUs4nfo_: install grub on the USB obivously | 23:43 |
| jjavaholic | pfifo: Is that in order of preference? | 23:43 |
| Bashing-om | Su7: I am presntly caught up, and maybe I can be of some slight help, again, what release and card(s) are you running. | 23:43 |
| pfifo | jjavaholic: sed is definatly #1 the rest are un ordered | 23:44 |
| awesomess3 | jjavaholic, vim, less, grep, find, xchat, firefox, gnome-terminal, wget, man, help, ls, bg, jobs, eog, file, mv, mkdir, sudo, cat. | 23:44 |
| jjavaholic | I feel bad I don't think I have ever used sed | 23:44 |
| pfifo | awesomess3: yeah, thats an awesome list | 23:45 |
| jjavaholic | I know it is in my unix in a nutshell book | 23:45 |
| pfifo | and I sould add man to the list as well | 23:45 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | jjavaholic: top 1 command-list: man | 23:46 |
| awesomess3 | I add aunpack to my list | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | bug 1 | 23:46 |
| ubottu | bug 1 in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 | 23:46 |
| awesomess3 | sudo apt-get install atool #to use aunpack | 23:46 |
| awesomess3 | unarchives any archive in one folder. | 23:47 |
| pfifo | add zcat to the list too, lets just make it a top 40 | 23:47 |
| awesomess3 | actually I lied I use xfce4-terminal not gnome-terminal. | 23:48 |
| ShutterBC | ahh... the live usb was created on a mac | 23:49 |
| awesomess3 | because I currently am using xubuntu. But I really like the idea of kubuntu, lubuntu, and gubuntu | 23:49 |
| arrith | awesomess3: ubuntu gnome* | 23:49 |
| ShutterBC | so this guide was used, and doesn't cover grub install from mac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick | 23:49 |
| ShutterBC | (still doesn't explain why the drive is no longer bootable. I'd better check the flash drive for damage) | 23:50 |
| awesomess3 | ShutterBC, fsck.vfat | 23:51 |
| ShutterBC | awesomess3, it's not vfat | 23:53 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | ShutterBC: boot flag issue may be | 23:56 |
| bekks | KyouReeUs4nfo_: the boot flag isnt actively used for about 15 years now in linux. | 23:57 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | bekks: :) | 23:57 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo_ | bekks: so if I partition my hard drive and uncheck boot flag from primary active partition, will it still boot? | 23:59 |
| bekks | KyouReeUs4nfo_: As long as your bootloader knows what to do - of course. | 23:59 |
| ShutterBC | found it -- it boots, but errors on /casper/vmlinuz.efi not found | 23:59 |
| ShutterBC | something is legit corrupted imo | 23:59 |
