[00:00] I've got a folder with lots of sub-folers containing files i want to delete, using a specific name, is it possible to do this? if so how? [00:00] when I mount the drive on my other machine here, I can see vmlinuz.efi just fine [00:01] is there a way to change the dpi settings in ubuntu? [00:02] meh -- not worth my time, I'm wiping out this image, doing a bad block test, and calling it a day [00:02] wolfy1339, you want to delete a certain file name pattern from a bunch of subdirectories? [00:04] ShutterBC, yes [00:06] wolfy1339, I'm too out of practice at scripting but this is doable [00:06] wolfy1339: [00:06] as an example [00:07] mkdir -p frogs/snake/dog ; touch frogs/cakes frogs/snake/cakes frogs/snake/dog/cakes [00:07] find frogs -name cakes [00:08] for i in `find frogs -name cakes` ; do echo "${i}" ; done [00:08] if you replace that "echo" with rm it would remove all the files [00:09] ok [00:12] nice example building up the solution :) [00:13] l [00:14] hi, how can I resize default font of urxvt? [00:16] flewp: I believe you specify the size in your ~/.Xresources configuration file [00:16] dcmg: yes, I was wondering what the default font was called, could not find it anywhere [00:17] also which setting to be exact, I think it's URxvt.font: xft:monaco:size=10 [00:17] but it's not monaco [00:21] maybe try this in ~/.Xdefaults URxvt*font: -xos4-terminus-medium-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,xft:terminus:pixelsize:12 [00:21] make a backup of the file first, and make sure your system wont get damaged [00:22] dcmg: urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting. [00:24] hi all. i am looking to setup a spare machine i have as a ubuntu firewall/router for my home network. my plan is to use it like so. have the ubuntu machine as a centra backup location where all of our computer data syncs to, run my download clients on it and use it to stream media to the house (if possible). but i also want it to be able to limit both the quota and speed of data to the download [00:24] clients running on the same machine. is this possible? am i able to make a virtual network adaptor, and have the downloader use that, and then limit that ip? or does it not work like that? i am interested in learning how this all works and providing an extra layer of security to my network. not that it has ever been broken into, its only a home connection. [00:24] consistently, when I use my thinkpad t60 with a docking station, if I suspend and resume, the screen just flashes once or twice a second and will not unfreeze. cant switch to terminal, only sysrq works. Any idea what would cause this? some video driver issue? === Cydrobolt is now known as fedora [00:25] Is anyone else having trouble with Flash/youtube on the latest version of Ubuntu? === fedora is now known as Cydrobolt [00:27] Hi... I'm looking to create a login-based file sharing site a little more user-friendly/easy on the eyes than hosting something over FTP or HTTP... does anyone have a suggestion for a program that would do this? [00:29] Geo: something like Dropbox? [00:29] Is anyone else having trouble with Flash/youtube on the latest version of Ubuntu? [00:30] RasAlGhul: what kind of trouble? [00:30] Like it not working [00:30] Ever since that flash player update [00:30] KyouReeUs4nfo_: something like that would work, yes... is there an opensource equivilent? [00:31] Youtube just gives an error [00:32] I'm not looking to install anything on the user-end computer though, it should be available via the web [00:32] RasAlGhul: Your answer is not helpful at all. [00:32] How can I install firefox 29 beta on ubuntu? [00:32] rspinuz: the youtube error is not descriptive [00:33] it just gives me a black box where the video should be and says an error has occured, click here to learn more [00:33] is there a way to install the proprietary ATI drivers (fglrx) and still have the mesa drivers active in case I want to use my built in chipset? [00:33] basically my situation is this... [00:34] Sector_0: yes [00:34] RasAlGhul: What browser, have you tried a different one? [00:34] I have a built in intel chipset and a separate AT radeon 5500HD Redwood [00:34] I have not, but that does not really help me because this is my only browser. [00:34] I would like to be able to simply reboot and switch the vga cable on the fly [00:35] RasAlGhul: Please use nick tags when talking directly to someone [00:35] pfifo: so if I install the fglrx driver would I be able to restart, plug the vga cable to the built in graphic card and have a work properly? [00:35] ubantu [00:36] Geo: pastelink.me is not necessarily open-source but it doesn't need any sign-ups [00:36] whats the ubuntu offtopic channel [00:36] Need to host it locally [00:36] RasAlGhul: How do you know it does not help you? [00:36] What ppa should I add to get firefox beta (specifically version 29)? [00:36] hi all [00:36] I'm finding owncloud... it looks like overkill, but I tihnk it has what I need in it [00:36] Geo: looking [00:36] !ot | Doctor_N1ck [00:36] Sector_0: no, it will keep using the fglrx driver, you would have to disable it before rebooting, but other than that, you can switch back and forth. have you considered dual monitors [00:37] Doctor_N1ck: #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!

[00:37] RasAlGhul: You are the one asking for help, I think you should listen to the advice given more so then question everything. [00:37] put/write [00:37] rspinuz: I just want to know the answer to my question. Did Ubuntu break flash? [00:37] Did Adobe discontinue Linux flash support? [00:37] yes [00:37] pfifo: but dont both monitors have to connect to the same video card? [00:37] jak2000: you dont. use passwordless logins ove ssh [00:37] Sector_0: nope [00:38] RasAlGhul: Again what browser are you using and have you tried another browser [00:38] can linux use two graphics drivers at once? [00:38] RasAlGhul they stopped releasing new feature updates, but continue to update for security.

[00:39] Sector_0: you cant use a accelrated nvidia and an accelrated ati at the same time, but you can use one of them, and the plain VESA driver that comes with xorg [00:40] pfifo: oh ok [00:41] jak2000: make it so ssh does not ask for a password by http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html [00:41] pfifo: While we're talking about video cards, allow me to jump in- I have an ATI Rage XL video card which does not function on Ubuntu 12.04- how can I remedy that? I assume I need to install some driver? [00:41] jbates58: Continually asking is not going to get you help any faster. Sometimes people are busy, [00:41] pfifo: the reason I asked the question though was because at the moment my ATI is giving troubles and I don't want to completely put it aside, so in the event I turn on my computer tomorrow and I have no output I'd like to fall back the integrated graphics [00:41] Geo: isnt rage like 20 years old? [00:41] how do you suggest I work around that one? [00:41] RasAlGhul: what version of flash? [00:42] pfifo thanks [00:42] @rspinuz. sorry mate. just wasnt sure if it was seen, [00:42] how do I find out what version I have [00:42] Sector_0: if it fails completly you can take it out of the box and ubuntu will automatically use the built in one [00:42] its the latest one, I just updated it [00:42] pfifo you know about certificates and keys right? how to generate a .cer and a .key? [00:42] Sector_0: Nother option, make up xorg.conf files and set which .conf file to use when re-booting ->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743535 [00:42] pfifo: no clue, but its what is inside the box I'm using at this time [00:42] jak2000: follow the instructions in that link [00:42] jbates58: It is two large blocks of text. Everyone sees it. Trust me. [00:43] Geo: can you run 'sudo lshw && lspci' and pastebin the results [00:43] Would you like me to grep out the video portions? [00:43] Is there a PDF printer built into Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS? Or what's the best one I can install in your experiences? [00:43] pfifo yes no problem, its other dude... [00:43] Geo: dosent matter to me, ive seen thousands of those [00:43] Geo: https://cloudant.com ; open-source development of this project underway [00:44] EndymionM: I had one by default in ubuntu/unity 13.10 [00:44] EndymionM: in libreoffice [00:44] you may need to push it a little to convert the .pdf, but that is the idea [00:45] pfifo, dcmg: Unfortunately, that doesn't allow me to print, say, a coupon sent to me by e-mail. [00:45] jak2000: there is no other dude involved here, its all you, you generate the keys, you copy it to the server your sshing to and you never have to type a password again [00:45] i think it may even have an ability to printf .pdf directly [00:45] EndymionM: it will print it to a file [00:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7138669/ [00:45] pfifo ^^ [00:46] Geo: https://cloudant.com/blog/quilter-open-source-file-sharing/ [00:46] Geo: look into using the PPA, for the older ATI cards perhaps [00:46] meh, pastebinit only took one arg, stby for the second one [00:46] ok, i want generate a .cer and a key and do auth web page with this cert and key file, how to? [00:46] Thanks KyouReeUs4nfo_ [00:46] EndymionM: i normally, print to pdf, ssh to my mothers box, then use 'lpr output.pdf' to print it at her house, then pick it up in my convience [00:46] I'll look at those in a moment [00:46] LibreOffice does a fine job of saving as PDF, certainly - I'm sure it does as well on Ubuntu as it does on XP. But Firefox doesn't by default. [00:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7138674/ [00:47] pfifo ^^ [00:47] pfifo: but the time when the card failed I took it out and ubuntu did use the integrated one but it kept saying "running in low graphics mode" and it didn't allow me to actually use to login or anything I had to eventually fallback to console interface and disable the fglrx driver [00:48] Geo: that is a 20 year old video card, it dosent support opengl 1.1 and hence cant do anything fancy. xorg's vesa drive will make it work. [00:49] Sector_0: that problem im not familiar with [00:49] is there something like xdialog that comes with ubuntu? [00:50] 69 [00:50] Ah, I think I just figured out my best solution to my problem; Firefox addon. [00:50] EndymionM: have firefox use the pdf printer, then take the pdf to local library or print shop [00:50] pfifo, I don't mess in this realm often- where should I start, to install that? [00:50] singles in nyv [00:50] NYC??? [00:50] \DTF? [00:50] pfifo: I can print the pdf to paper from my other machine, it was creating the thing that was the issue. 'Bye. [00:51] heh... I'm sure he meant 'thanks' in there, too :P [00:51] Geo: you dont have todo anything, it should be operating [00:51] sup [00:51] pfifo: I can't get a display on my screen. [00:51] I can do command line, but nothing GUI [00:52] Geo: I dont see any other VGA adapters in your pastebin, so im a little confused here [00:52] and actually, I think even command line was touch and go [00:52] ill give you a nickel if you tickle my pickle [00:52] confused on what? [00:52] ahhh zenity will do it [00:52] I need more creative ideas to figure out what is consuming all the space on a 94G file system. things like... "find / -size +1000k" aren't finding whatever it is. last time this happened I rebooted the box and it had vanished [00:52] Geo: ok I see, what about on the livecd, did you get a GUI there? [00:53] df is showing this now "/dev/sda1 94G 89G 0 100% /" [00:53] I used the alternate installer, and did command line [00:53] pfifo: here what that error look likes [00:53] i couldn't use the normal live cd, the display did not work there either [00:53] http://i.imgur.com/QaP9d.png [00:54] Sector_0: I *think* that is unity asking if its ok to use the non-accelrated version. [00:54] Flash seems to work just fine in my Fedora partition [00:54] I don't understand [00:54] but I guess I will reinstall Chrome for now [00:54] Geo: does GUI work in other distro/OS Im thinking it might just be a hardware problem [00:55] pfifo: I guess you're right [00:55] but then when you select the first option here what you're greeted with... [00:55] http://i.stack.imgur.com/AiwJH.png [00:56] pfifo: debian worked fine [00:56] I need to talk to ubottu for a sec, brb [00:58] !info xserver-xorg-video-r128 | Geo try installing this [00:58] Geo try installing this: xserver-xorg-video-r128 (source: xserver-xorg-video-r128): X.Org X server -- ATI r128 display driver.

I dont know if theres a way to get it to automatically detect and correct at startup without writing some complicated scripts yourself [01:01] Does anyone know a way to disable CD-drive without disabling it from BIOS? [01:01] KyouReeUs4nfo_: roll you own kernel without cdrom support [01:02] pfifo: let's say without recompiling a kernel, I would like to continue using current kernel [01:02] actually I dont think a true minimal ubuntu install has CD support [01:02] KyouReeUs4nfo_: You could just stop it from mounting at boot [01:02] dcmg: i can confirm it does [01:02] if you specify no dependencies even? ok pfifo I believe you [01:03] rspinuz: let's say I would like it to mount but if I insert a CD it wouldn't read it [01:03] KyouReeUs4nfo_: What [01:04] debootstrap variant minimal might not have any cdrom software anyway. But i guess the kernel drivers are still there [01:04] KyouReeUs4nfo_: So you want to disable it or do you want to use it? [01:04] I am trying to reverse-engineer an issue actually to be honest === S4M43L is now known as ZuluHosting [01:05] dcmg: it comes with mount, umount. and the kernel has scsi cdrom, and iso9660 compiled in [01:06] I want to find out the pointers where to look for if I come across issues with CD drive to troubleshoot it [01:07] pfifo: I see :( [01:07] I don't clearly remember but bastile-linux had given me an option to disable it or something long ago and I did but I just don't remember what exactly it was [01:07] Hi friends, can anyone please tell me a STABLE torrent client for ubuntu. I tried qbittorrent it works great for sometime and then it randomly crashes. [01:08] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt perhaps with a kernel boot paramters KyouReeUs4nfo_ [01:08] pfifo: on that note though, is there a way to disable fglrx without removing it? [01:08] dcmg: I will check thanks [01:08] all the time I've disabled it I've just removed it be cause I don't really know of any other of doing [01:08] c2tarun, you tried transmission? [01:09] KyouReeUs4nfo_: 1) Not even close to what you were asking. B) Your question has nothing to do with ubuntu. Please pick the correct development channel and ask there. [01:09] !blacklist | Sector_0 [01:09] Sector_0: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [01:10] rspinuz: will do [01:10] thiebaude, yeah, I have transmission, never tried it though, it lacks a feature of autoshutdown. Anyway its better than crashing and doing nothing. I'll try transmission. [01:11] does any one know any conspiracy\ [01:11] c2tarun, oh i c [01:11] c2tarun, deluge [01:11] kttorent, but then you might not want all those kde dependencies [01:11] c2tarun, [01:12] kostkon, I am looking into deluge only, I want to check the version of deluge in repository. How can I check only version from repo and not download the application? [01:12] thiebaude, yeah, :( I used Ktorrent long time back. I really miss Ktorrent. I am seriously thinking of installing it with all dependencies [01:13] pfifo, thanks for that. I installed it, do I need to restart or lsmod or something? [01:13] c2tarun: apt-cache show [01:13] c2tarun, software centre should display the version. in the terminal: apt-cache policy deluge [01:14] Geo: restarting X should be all thats needed, but most users fin rebooting to be easier [01:14] ok, thanks [01:15] thanks :) pfifo, kostkon [01:15] c2tarun, there is something called qbittorrent [01:15] thiebaude, I am using it right now. [01:15] ohh,lol :) [01:15] it sometimes works great, but crashes randomly :) [01:16] then thats no good :( [01:16] yup :( [01:16] c2tarun, how about vuze? [01:17] thiebaude, vuze, never heard about it. [01:17] * c2tarun googling [01:18] c2tarun, http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/01/top-5-bit-torrent-clients-for-ubuntu.html scroll down a little [01:20] thiebaude, ohhh.. :) I remember its name azeureus :) Back when I was moving from win 98 to XP and broadband was introduced, I used it on a PC with 128 MB Ram :) It slowed my PC like hell. I am going to give it another shot in ubuntu [01:21] c2tarun: java drags down ubuntu just as bad as windows, but a good multicore CPU can handle it [01:21] i ahve heard of azeureus never used it, in ubuntu it was always transmission, in windows which i use to use i used uttorrent [01:21] have [01:21] c2tarun, [01:21] thiebaude, yeah, utorrent is awesome :| [01:21] utorrent is loaded with spyware [01:21] i have tried bittorrent also [01:22] pfifo, really :O [01:23] pfifo: thank [01:23] pfifo, I thought its the lightest client ever [01:23] you were great help [01:23] c2tarun: the client is great, the installer really layers on the crapware tho [01:24] guess I'll just have to keep falling back to console to blacklist the driver whenever it acts up [01:24] until I get new one that is [01:24] !yay | Sector_0 [01:24] Sector_0: Glad you made it! :-) [01:24] pfifo, ohhh......

[01:34] sudormrf: I use transmission-daemon on my server, not sure about the rss part tho [01:34] rypervenche: rss doesn't work [01:34] not in CLI only [01:35] you need gui for deluge rss [01:35] pfifo: last time I tried transmission it wasn't grabbing things from my watch folder :S [01:35] ksbalaji, upgrade your ubuntu to an supported version [01:35] sudormrf: It has a plugin you can use for RSS with a GUI. [01:35] sudormrf: ive used rtorrent in the past, but didnt like it, you might want to try it though [01:36] !lucid [01:36] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu.

[01:36] everything I am finding is really old [01:36] rypervenche: it doesn't work m8. [01:36] pfifo, I am thinking about writing a script which on every 5 mins will check if qbittorrent is running or not. If it is not running then it'll start it. Do you think running this script(when required) will slow down system? [01:37] you can't add feeds from the web ui [01:37] sudormrf: cant help you there, havent touched it since 2008 [01:37] heh [01:37] OerHeks: My HDD is down and I am on an USB stick loaded with Lucid. It does not upgrade, however I try. Can I upgrade firefox and flash? [01:37] that seems to be when most of the documentation stopped lel [01:37] c2tarun: no, theres all kinds of that stuff hapening already on your system [01:37] rypervenche: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Plugins/YaRSS2 "A RSS plugin for Deluge 1.3 configured through the GTKUI" [01:38] rypervenche: no guy installed on this box [01:38] gui [01:38] pfifo, great :) thanks [01:39] c2tarun: i would write a script that has an infinate loop and when ever the client exits it starts it again [01:40] Help needed, Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 ver, Installed 4GB DDR3 RAM, it shows only 3.3GB!

[01:44] c2tarun: http://hastebin.com/paxulifubo.bash [01:46] pfifo, ohhh... temporary file kind of logic :) this will also work, I was kind of thinking about checking output of ps -A | grep qbittorrent. if nothing returns, start qbittorrent otherwise check after 5 mins [01:47] or in your case sleep 10s [01:47] sudormrf, maybe it comes with a buch of dependencies, but Ktorrent has a webui:8080 plugin too [01:47] *bunch [01:47] OerHeks: RSS?

[01:57] kk [01:57] ScaredZebra: dandy [01:57] XD [01:57] so, what are yall using Ubuntu for? [01:58] operating my computer system [01:58] oh, nice [01:58] I still gotta use winblows for that [01:58] Ubuntu is my server farm and render/folding farm, though [01:58] OS [01:59] Ububtu makes it easy for nvidia drivers [01:59] yeah, which I like [01:59] ubunt is 99% nethack, and like 1% work and stuff [01:59] lol, yeah [01:59] I have Ubuntu, backbox, and kali on my 3 VMs on my winblows comp [01:59] Audio playback and recording is great as a ubuntu box [02:00] not entirely work. :0 [02:00] I have ubuntu and knoppix [02:00] for mine, I meant [02:00] i havnt tried knoppix, is it good? [02:00] I want to adopt slackware mayve [02:00] im lucky, i only use windows for 3 things, multisim, fl studio and steam [02:01] yeah, steam [02:01] I got A slick lubuntu and a as slick manjaro [02:01] nice [02:01] fwokada [02:01] u from austin [02:02] Kubuntu and ubuntu are sponsores by kernel.org as a download mirrir [02:03] Hi, someone knows if it's possible to disable notifications only for a particular application? [02:03] first thing i do when i get my servers back up, with 12.04.4 is chat with wall [02:03] srry, not a wall. y'all [02:03] Manjaro Is a roling realease so one dont have to upgrade ever! Built on archlinux [02:03] oh, really? nice [02:04] ever put it on a raspberry pi? [02:04] streamlined [02:04] anyone got a good name idea for a crowd sourcing website? [02:04] I set deja dup to make backups every minute, but every minute I see that annoying notification 'backup complete', so I would like to disable the notifications only for deja dup [02:04] idk, AM, you could try to dig through the settings, or left click [02:05] Which ubuntu does everyone use [02:05] on the notification [02:05] I am using desktop [02:05] mmmh... left click on the notification? [02:05] I have also used alternate [02:05] 12.04.4 servers, now. [02:05] and 13 for my second desktop VM [02:05] ubuntu 14.04 lts [02:06] 14? is that released yet? [02:06] Yeah. I prefer long term support as well [02:06] 12.04 LTS [02:06] 12.04 32bit, and 13.10 64bit [02:06] there is a 14 LTS !? [02:06] lol i think its a typo [02:06] cuz 13 is brand new [02:06] 14.04 is not relesed yet, but you can try the alpha, /join #ubuntu+1 [02:06] Check to see if the torrent is available at mirrors.kernel.org [02:07] soonhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule April 17th [02:07] oh, really? huh, gonna have to set up a 4th VM [02:07] I tried to click on the notification... Nothing happens... [02:07] oh. sorry [02:07] so it's not possible to hide that annoying notification? [02:07] i don't really look at it, have u tried digging through the settings? [02:08] amigamagic, ubuntu notifications are not clickable [02:08] like left click, i though [02:08] t [02:08] kostkon, I noticed [02:08] XD [02:08] wow [02:09] hey [02:09] fwaokda [02:09] How do you depend on zulu system v [02:09] deja dup doesn't have any option to change notifications behaviour [02:10] dang. sorry i couldn't help there [02:10] amigamagic, bug 912880 [02:10] bug 912880 in Déjà Dup "Cannot turn off notifications" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/912880 [02:10] Help needed, Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 ver, Installed 4GB DDR3 RAM, it shows only 3.3GB! [02:10] thx [02:10] cuz its 32 bit [02:10] I am using two monitors, one on a laptop and another connected by hdmi. How do I set the edges to loop back so that when the mouse is moved to any border edge it moves onto the other monitor? [02:11] Is system.v.timezones the same as with debian? [02:11] 32 bit only recognizes 3. something gb of ram [02:11] kostkon: it's from 2012... [02:11] I have recognized up to 3.4gb [02:11] advx_: i think its normal [02:11] Asus and intel [02:11] ScaredZebra, I m using 64bit version.. [02:12] oh. well. that changes things [02:12] advx_: igot 8gb , i see 7.7 system monitor [02:12] amigamagic, yeah, hasn't been fixed yet [02:12] status confirmed and no one corrects the damned bug!? :D [02:12] hmm [02:12] have you enabled PAE/NX [02:12] is it? [02:12] pfifo, Hi, I completed the script. Please take a look. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7138932/ [02:12] or just PAE [02:12] n e ways to check PAE [02:12] what? [02:12] i use ubuntu 14.04 daily build version and ubuntu 14.04 beta was released [02:13] c2tarun: nice [02:13] how to check if PAE/NX is enabled [02:13] oh. it may be in your BIOS [02:13] what comp are you using [02:13] advx_, cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:13] Intel NUC DN2820 [02:13] Check under the caps line. [02:13] anyway, I would be happy to disable notifications only for that program or disable notifications for all the programs when the scheduled job starts (and reenable when the scheduled jobs ends) [02:14] its having flags pae [02:14] c2tarun: i dont like it :) [02:14] Rallias, flags is having PAE [02:14] pfifo, gottcha ;) [02:14] pae might fix it, im not really sure [02:15] i think it will, though [02:15] uname -a shows 3.13.6-031306-generic /lib/modules has 3.13.6-031306-generic and 3.13.0-6-generic is this normal? [02:15] Amigamagic. Do you wish to diffrentiate sound and display [02:15] I would be happy with another backup program too, but I haven't found nothing that does incremental backups on a NAS device with the ability to go back to previous versions of a file [02:15] jarkko, I m on 3.11.018-generic [02:15] c2tarun: your always running the sleep command, while it dosent really take many resources, my idea literally used NO resources until the target program ended/closed... also you have no way to stop this script [02:15] amigamagic, Deja-dup/duplicity come with Ubuntu Desktop by default. [02:16] Linux 3.11.0-18-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 18 21:11:14 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [02:16] I m re-downloading ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 [02:16] Rallias, yeah, and until now is the best backup app I tried, because it does incremental backups on a NAS device too [02:16] advx_, PAE is only for 32 bit kernels [02:16] should I reInstall [02:16] ok [02:16] ok, maybe. [02:16] I tried Back in Time, but it doesn't work well on NAS [02:17] advx_, what is your graphics card? it could be that it uses some of your ram for its own needs [02:17] OerHeks, y is it not showing full 4GB ram? [02:17] and I tried many other backup progs, but each one has some problem [02:17] O [02:17] advx_, if your system still shows you less than 4 gb, the bottleneck is your motherboard chipset [02:17] no graphics card [02:17] OerHeks: sorry for the wrong info, thx for the correction... [02:17] amigamagic, Ok, so you're looking for one for windows or... I'm confused. [02:17] Hmm [02:17] Amigamagic. Do you think live disk recovery is usefull [02:17] Rallias, no, for Ubuntu 12.04 [02:17] advx_, lspci | grep -i vga in the terminal [02:18] amigamagic, Ok... deja-dup is packaged for ubuntu 12.04 I thought. [02:18] pfifo, but in your idea I have to touch a .run file whenever I want to start the script [02:18] HI I am trying to install ubuntu gnome 13.10 but the installer crashes when I hit the custom partition install [02:18] kostkon, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation ValleyView Gen7 (rev 0c) [02:18] bess: i think its known issue [02:18] c2tarun: no, the script does that for you, you delete it to get the script to end [02:18] onboard videocard-memory,cpu-cache,hdd-cache,soundcard-cache, all adds up [02:18] monkwitdafunk, I would be fine with a clonezilla too, but I don't want to power off the PC to make a backup [02:18] bess: happened to me too before [02:18] almost done with the 12.04.4 d/l gotta go [02:18] jarkko: any way to install it ? [02:19] bess: just try again [02:19] gonna burn it and update my servers [02:19] and I want incremental backup [02:19] bye [02:19] c2tarun: and you really dont need that part, while [ "1" == "1" ] would be ok too [02:19] jarkko: lol, trying for the third time :( [02:19] sorry for all the help i didn't give [02:19] XD [02:19] I have not used clonezilla for your example. Sorry [02:19] bess: autodisk allocation might work [02:19] So ppl, do u think its MB issue, or do I need to re-install [02:19] pfifo, okay, I agree with my "while" stupidity, but you are also using sleep 10s so how is your sleep 10s is better than my sleep 5m? [02:19] amigamagic, I'm not infront of a machine that I can boot a 12.04 VM on, but try apt-cache search deja-dup. It should show up. [02:19] ne app for viewing graphics card ram [02:20] monkwitdafunk, so what you mean [02:20] Rallias, I use currently deja-dup [02:20] advx_, it's not an issue. intel systems do that, share some of the ram with the grapgics card [02:20] advx_: i have 8gb ram and it shows 7.7 system monitor...i think you have no reason to worry [02:20] jarkko: there is no option in the instsaller for that [02:20] but the problem is that it shows those annoying notifications when the backup is finished [02:20] c2tarun: my sleep is simply a 3 second pause to allow the target program to cleanup, it can be ommited as well wich will make the target program restart right away [02:20] thanks [02:20] bess: the autoistalll, use all diskspace for install? [02:21] advx_, usually you can set the amount of shared ram that your graphics card can use in the bios. go check it out if you want [02:21] kostkon jarkka [02:21] and being that I scheduled the backup to start every minute, it's very annoying to see a notification every minute [02:21] ok [02:21] will check BIOS, btw its EFI [02:21] UEFI [02:21] pfifo, but while will continuosly be checking for existence of .run file, don't you think it'll take some resource of processor? [02:21] c2tarun: my script is better because the restart is triggered by the target crashing, as opposed to being triggered by a check to see if the program crashed [02:21] jarkko: I got Upgrade from 12.04, erase 12.04 and re-install, erase everything and re-install or something else [02:21] amigamagic: what are you constantly backing up? [02:21] pfifo, but while will continuosly be checking for existence of .run file, don't you think it'll take some resource of processor? [02:22] will Live disk to any other linux and check also [02:22] amigamagic, Deja-dup is based on duplicity at it's core. You could attach duplicity to the user crontab and use that instead. [02:22] bess: can you upgrade from commandline? [02:22] c2tarun: it dosent continusoly check for .run, it only loops when the target program crashes [02:22] btw Y does my system monitor does not have system tab [02:22] pfifo, ohhh. so you suggesting that I should also ommit & and let it loop as soon as program crashes :) nice [02:22] jarkko: I was looking for the alternative install (CLI mode) but there wasn't any for gnome [02:23] Which system monitor [02:23] Rallias, I would be glad to make that but I don't know how to do... [02:23] how to get the amount of the vram? [02:23] c2tarun: yeah, you got it now [02:23] bess: just upgrade your sourcelist? [02:23] pfifo, I really liked the idea of controlling script by deleting a file. I am going to gym now, will comeback and implement your logic. Thanks :) [02:23] bess: maybe using alternative desktop for that.... [02:24] jarkko: I wanted a fresh install with gnome, now I have to go with unity :( [02:24] grep -i --color memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:24] bess: if you have working system it would be wise to do 2 different image installerss [02:24] jarkko, I'm backupping a folder where I would have many versions of the same file [02:25] so that I could go back to a previous version, if necessary [02:25] bess, there is ubuntu-gnome [02:25] amigamagic, Unfortunately, I'm not sober enough to help with shell scripting... CTRL+F SomeLongGeneratedHardToCrackKey on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto should make it relatively clear on how to do though. [02:25] jarkko: I belive there is a problem with the image [02:25] kostkon: Ye Just went there [02:25] thanks [02:26] bess: why do you believe so? [02:26] bess: i had that similar issue too when trying to install kubuntu..i quess it was 13.10 [02:26] It's even got a couple scripts to do the job for you, but you've got to modify them to your personal needs. [02:26] jarkko: I downloaded the image 2 times, one time via torrent the other from direct tried 2 different usb-sticks, I get the same result [02:27] bess: its gone even worse, last time i tried to install manjaro and kubuntu, they would boot into blank screen... [02:27] Rallias, I'm not used to shell scripting, but thanks for the link [02:27] bess: try linuxmint? [02:28] jarkko: dunno if they have a gnome version [02:28] it would be nice if I could see what deja dup does with duplicity, so that I could duplicate its command and schedule directly it. [02:29] but... Is it possible that Deja Dup it's the only GUI for duplicity?? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [02:29] bess: mate, cinnamon ? [02:29] bess: either is gnome 2.0 based [02:29] jarkko: I wanna be like the cool kids :P [02:30] jarkko: so manjaro has replaced chakra ? [02:30] ubuntu needs a cli based variant that isnt server [02:30] pfifo, Why? [02:30] bess: http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php [02:31] cause GUI isnt 1337 [02:31] bess: http://www.linuxmint.com/release.php?id=21 [02:31] pfifo, unity is. My workflow is tremendous with the hud [02:32] I wish I could get a dual monitor setup with console on one monitor and lxde on the other [02:32] pfifo: you probably could === peter is now known as Guest42490 [02:32] why unity has a vertical bar on the left, when widescreen lcd monitors have much more space in horizontal? [02:33] terminals are better because you can change the font size. [02:33] I don't see why you don't just fullscreen a term? [02:33] and why you cannot move the damned bar? [02:33] amigamagic: because it's unity [02:33] willwh: thats the work around thus far [02:33] amigamagic, because vertical space is more important on widescreens. [02:33] ubuntu is the only distro using it, because it was created for it [02:34] amigamagic, and you can hide it if you go to settings. [02:34] the question was why I cannot move in the bottom part of the screen, being that I could show much more icons in the bottom part of a widescreen monitor [02:35] amigamagic, You can. Branch it and do it yourself [02:35] akiva-mobile, I have a much more simple solution: gnome-session-fallback [02:35] :D [02:35] amigamagic, then you lose the power of the hud [02:36] the power? mmmh... [02:36] I'd hardly call untiy powerful [02:36] haha [02:36] I think I have much more power with classic gnome [02:36] I kinda understand the decision [02:36] but [02:36] willwh, have you used the hud extensively? [02:36] that's just a hilarious statement [02:36] akiva-mobile: yes of course I have [02:36] and the fact canonical chose amazon ads be default [02:36] I can create bars where I want [02:36] is pretty horrific [02:36] and place icons where I want [02:36] willwh, that is not the hud [02:36] I understand why, for the most part [02:36] willwh, that is the dash [02:37] the HUD is what? [02:37] *facepalm* [02:37] in Unity it's all so static [02:37] generally, hud = heads up display [02:37] so [02:37] please do enlighten me [02:37] yah, the dash is what has amazon [02:37] press left alt [02:37] unity problem is that it's not much customizable [02:37] y does compiz take so much ram, n e way to tune it? [02:37] amigamagic, i don't think its a problem [02:38] advx_, try compiz config [02:38] ok [02:38] I'd agree with akiva-mobile, in that.... just use something else [02:38] foss is about choice [02:38] :) [02:38] ^ [02:38] but you can customize unity if you want [02:38] a lot of people that dislike unity [02:38] as willwh said, it is foss [02:38] I tried KDE too [02:38] find happiness in cinnamon [02:38] and it's exactly the opposite [02:38] TOO MUCH customizable [02:39] and I hate it too [02:39] willwh, that is usually because people don't take advantage of the hud [02:39] amigamagic: no I don't think that's it [02:39] I think it's a familiarity thing [02:39] I tried Kubuntu 13.10 [02:39] i.e. you tried KDE for an hour and ran screaming because it was "new" [02:39] i.e. the interface was foreign to you [02:39] or at least I would suggest so [02:39] willw [02:39] you are right [02:39] btw protip [02:40] tab-complete works in *most* irc clients [02:40] amigamagic, have you thought of getting into ui development? [02:40] akiva-mobile, it would be very nice [02:40] honestly, for lower end system, I use XFCE [02:40] and I love it [02:40] :) [02:40] amigamagic, Cool; I can help get you started if you want. [02:40] akiva-mobile: apologies if I came across rude btw [02:40] amigamagic, have you ever programmed before? [02:41] willwh, I like XFCE too [02:41] willwh, That is big of you. Thanks for being considerate. [02:41] it has only the essential [02:41] ye, I just didn't like LXDE tbh [02:41] but it's not rigid as Unity [02:41] akiva-mobile: I'm old enough to know better [02:41] amigamagic: well, I don't agree [02:41] amigamagic, are you interested in ui development then? [02:41] there is a lot of good support to give you all you need in xfce [02:42] anyway - I have to split guys, sorry to hijack, rant, and leave [02:42] <3 [02:42] amigamagic, you could impliment your ideas to unity, and perhaps even have the patched in. [02:42] akiva-mobile, right now I'm trying to develop mobile games [02:42] willwh, Good day [02:42] you know, that's a good idea [02:42] amigamagic: what are you using? [02:42] amigamagic, for what platform? [02:42] now the conversation becomes interesting, haha [02:42] amigamagic, and using what language? [02:42] I've been looking at kivy [02:42] what area of compiz can we fine tune? [02:42] I'm using godot engine [02:42] as I know python quite well [02:43] advx_, you are looking to lessen the memory footprint? [02:44] Is ubuntu the distro with more bugs? 107056 Open bugs [02:44] akiva-mobile, I don't have the time to make mods to unity... I have to develop my 2D platform-game. But I could share some ideas. [02:44] chro, pardon? [02:45] amigamagic, maybe you should make a launchpad account, and join the ubuntu unity 8 team [02:45] akiva-mobile: ubuntu is too buggy [02:45] chro, how so? I find it really stable. [02:45] chro: that's a silly assessment [02:45] it's probably the most active community of all distros [02:45] chro, do you need some help with something? [02:45] and therefore probably has the most bugs filed [02:45] no, but I have reported some bugs [02:45] but they don't get fixed [02:45] ....and? [02:45] akiva-mobile, yep [02:46] chro: did you provide a patch? [02:46] chro: ubuntu itself dosent have too many bugs, debian took care of most of the distro for us [02:46] can you link your bug reports? [02:46] "waah no one fixed my bugs" [02:46] advx_, Well first my pragmatic solution is just to buy more ram, as it is cheap and the amount of time you will spend configging is not worth it [02:46] than if you went and instead just did a few hours overtime [02:47] advx_, but if you are really determined, you might want to look into the window decorator first [02:47] ok [02:47] hmm [02:47] I can tell you one. When I see something on full screen, and then escape, I cannot see the ubuntu launch bar anymore, neither the top bar [02:47] ok will do [02:47] advx_, but by playing around in compiz, you are risking stability [02:47] chro: that is not a bug report [02:47] especially with window managers. [02:47] thanks for Info [02:47] that is a poor description of a vague problem [02:48] chro, what distro are you running? [02:48] basically I m running ubuntu 13.10 on INTEL NUC DN2820, 4GB RAM - for XBMC [02:48] willwh: lots of users are having the same problem. Actually it was not me that reported that [02:48] akiva-mobile, my ideas for unity are simple: the user should be able to move that bar anywhere: left, right, bottom, top. [02:48] chro: yep, I asked for a bug report [02:48] chro, show us the bug report [02:48] Is there any equivalent of Windows' "Flux" program, in Ubuntu? It seems to be a chron job to cyclically adjust monitor color and brightness to be more appropriate for the time of day. I know that I could do this myself but I'd rather just have the thing. [02:48] akiva-mobile, basically I m running ubuntu 13.10 on INTEL NUC DN2820, 4GB RAM - for XBMC [02:48] the thing is that this was reported last year, and they haven't fixed it yet [02:48] ok, 1 sec [02:49] amigamagic, I would encourage you to contribute back to to the community, and share your ideas in the appropriate place. this channel is for support :P [02:49] JCM83: you mean this? http://justgetflux.com/linux.html [02:49] ;] [02:49] your google-fu is terrible :) [02:49] advx_, great, [02:49] akiva-mobile, thanks [02:49] in xchat is there n e way to auto complete user names?? [02:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1240595 [02:49] Launchpad bug 1240595 in unity (Ubuntu Saucy) "[regression] Unity Launcher & Panel is gone after leaving full screen unredirected windows" [High,Triaged] [02:49] willwh - Yes I do! Silly me I didn't even just go to the site. [02:49] several users complaining there [02:49] advx_: yes, tab [02:49] not only me [02:49] advx_, wait, and you are complaining about memory footprints [02:50] advx_, press [02:50] !tab | advx_ [02:50] advx_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:50] KOOL thanks [02:50] akiva-mobile, yes, sorry. Anyway my problem is not unity... It's the problem of deja-dup notifications. I would want to disable them, but I can't. [02:50] check last comments from users on that bug [02:50] akiva-mobile, well some times XBMC hanges... [02:50] amigamagic, have you looked in synaptic for a package related to that? [02:50] advx_, sec... [02:51] akiva-mobile, so was looking for logs, then I checked RAM its 4GB installed but shows 3.3 [02:51] advx_: you're running a 32bit os [02:51] "quite annoying and makes the OS feels buggy/unpolish, have to recommend linuxmint over ubuntu to friends" [02:51] willwh, nope 64 bit [02:51] akiva-mobile, what should I look for? [02:51] really? [02:51] then that is odd [02:51] advx_, sec I think I have the same thing [02:51] ok === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [02:52] advx_, I am pretty sure its just a marketing thing. For example, my 60 gig ipon is actually only 54 gigs or something like that [02:52] idk, I have 8gb, reported as 7.8 [02:52] because we are dealing with 8 byte [02:52] advx_: Is the problem that you're like, losing 0.7gb of RAM? [02:52] type free -m in a terminal [02:53] 3653 is my total for a 4 gig system [02:53] JCM83, well its just I m not able to trace where that .7GB ram is [02:53] chro, so it's been fixed in 14.04 but hasn't been backported to 13.10 [02:53] akiva-mobile, then also its showing 3. something [02:53] kostkon: seems so [02:53] advx_, what does the total say in the terminal? [02:54] so we have to wait 6 months with the desktop broken [02:54] press + "T" [02:54] chro, .. so far. never say never. [02:54] advx_, ^ [02:54] chro: no, you could patch it yourself [02:54] advx_, and then type "free -m" [02:54] chro: or pay someone to do it, if it annoys you that much [02:54] how goes all [02:55] or switch windows managers [02:55] there are a lot of options [02:55] window* [02:55] ok I'm out o/ [02:55] what broke for you guys? [02:55] kostkon: the true is that ubuntu is not that stable and polished, and who says otherwise is lying... I wanted to believe in that myself, but this is too much for me [02:55] nothing, I just idle here o/ [02:55] lol [02:56] chro, ubuntu is very stable for me. You are running 13.10 [02:56] akiva-mobile, do you think there is a synaptic package that could disable notifications from one app? [02:56] chro, if you want stability you should run 12.04 [02:56] im using the open source drivers for my radeon 4000 card. How do you upgrade to the latest version? [02:56] akiva-mobile: I used to say things like that to my friends as well [02:56] chro, not a short term release which is used for testing. [02:56] can anyone explain why the actual fuck setting urxvt.transparency:true would... make my home key stop working and emit a ~ instead? [02:56] because I really do not understand [02:56] akiva-mobile: short term release for testing? I'm using the regular release [02:56] amigamagic, synaptic for whatever reason has a broader display of available packages. [02:56] !language | essar [02:56] essar: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [02:56] I ask here because I just switched to ubuntu and did not witness this magic on previous distro [02:57] ubottu: haha, sorry, I'm just really confused :) [02:57] essar: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:57] chro, you said 13.10 [02:57] derp! [02:57] chro, those have a 6 month support cycle. [02:57] akiva-mobile, free -m gives total of 3409 [02:57] chro, the lts's have a multi year [02:57] akiva-mobile, 9 [02:57] advx_, okay sec [02:58] advx_, yah for me I have 3653 [02:58] akiva-mobile: I know. But the 6month support cycle is the normal release... It should not be for testing [02:58] advx_, so its not really that abnormal. [02:58] akiva-mobile, N e idea where our 700MB ram is?? [02:58] ok [02:58] advx_: my 2GB laptop reports 1729 in free -m [02:58] advx_, its not like that. [02:58] how to get the wifi card firmware from the running system? [02:58] pfifo, hmm who is using rest of the ram [02:58] advx_, because the way that the hardware manufacturers count is strange [02:59] akiva-mobile, what H/W r u on ? [02:59] advx_, because remember that a byte is base 8 [02:59] advx_: that 700MB of ram is getting lost in the math [02:59] advx_, thinkpad x230 [02:59] pfifo, ^ exactly [02:59] hmm [03:00] may be, that thought came across my mind too [03:00] advx_, like sometimes, 8 bits constitutes 1 byte, instead of what is more intuitive, that 10 bits = 1 byte [03:00] well not sometimes, I just mean in how they count [03:00] well did all that in my Engg. days.. [03:00] may b its used up by graphics... [03:01] so if someone said you have 4 bytes, it will only read up as 32 bits [03:01] advx_, normally it would show 3.7, but as i said, probably the rest is used by your graphics card [03:01] advx_, make sense? [03:01] n e way to specifically see how much is dedicated to graphics [03:01] advx_, that is true too [03:01] on MB i have set 512MB for graphics.. [03:01] may b thats y [03:02] chro, sorry getting back to you [03:02] Also I m having low voltage RAM 1.3volts only [03:02] chro, its not a testing platform in the way an alpha or beta is [03:02] cool, turns out the odd combination of "urxvt has transparency enabled" and "$TERM is not set to the right thing" makes my home key not work; all is well [03:02] but it still is testing new technologies to help them mature for stable releases. [03:02] this is why mir is coming in 14.10 [03:02] ok [03:03] what is mir? [03:03] chro, its the replacement for x11 [03:03] oh yes, I heard about it [03:03] chro, a really important piece of software, long overdue [03:03] yah, wayland being its counterpart [03:04] advx_: you have too look at the gb or GB, gb means 1000000000 bytes, GB means 1073741824 bytes [03:04] its specifically tailor made for the unity experience. [03:05] pfifo, will we r all looking for GB [03:05] advx_: so hence, your chips manufacturer can omit 73741824 flipflops from the chip, and still get away with saying it is a 1 gig chip [03:05] chro, but anyways, if you found a bug, that is actually really important that you report it if it hasnt been done already to the unity team [03:05] akiva-mobile: do you work for canonical? [03:05] chro, no [03:05] hmm pfifo all marketing gimmic [03:05] ok [03:05] chro, this upcoming lts is extremely important that we make sure its stable [03:06] advx_, same with hard disks [03:06] so True, kostkon [03:06] chro, do you know where to report bugs? [03:06] ok, would it be easy to convert my system to a lts release? [03:06] chro, I always recommend fresh install [03:06] chro, upgrade to 14.04 when it comes out [03:06] 14.04 will be coming out in a few weeks [03:07] when there will be the next LTS version? [03:07] ok [03:07] amigamagic, few weeks [03:07] !lts|amigamagic, [03:07] amigamagic,: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [03:07] I'm now on 12.04 LTS [03:07] advx_: actually its not a marketing gimmick, its manufacturing process, when the die is laid out for the chip, it might not be feasable to put exacly X amount of semiconductors on it, but calling it a 1gig chip is more intutivae than calling it a 0.854374 chip [03:08] but there are some things that don't work for my motherboard, like the suspend option that is missing [03:08] pfifo, what? Of course its a marketing gimmick :P [03:08] ok its a marketing gimmick [03:08] pfifo, :P [03:08] akiva-mobile, hardware marketing discussion should be in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:09] amigamagic, suspend or hibernate? [03:09] suspend [03:09] for hibernate I managed to make it work [03:10] but suspend doesn't work, because I suspect the ACPI of my motherboard is not recognized by the linux kernel [03:10] chro, Anyways, if you are interested in contributing to the ubuntu project, and perhaps are not a programmer, just focus on filing really good bug reports at https://launchpad.net/ [03:11] I think I found a solution for disabling notifications from deja-dup: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56390/is-it-possible-to-block-notifyosd-for-one-application/192689#192689 [03:11] hey, have a teensy problem in 14.04 guys. [03:11] that's what I've been doing [03:11] !trusty|WizardGed, ask in the other channel [03:11] WizardGed, ask in the other channel: 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 [03:11] chro, good on you :) [03:11] can anyone help me out, maybe you've had this issue? i just got a new computer, with 2 identical monitors, but only 1 is bein recognized as its name, the other is named generic non-pnp monitor, and it will not support the same resolution as the named one.. its pissing me off [03:12] :) [03:12] I tried Kubuntu 13.10 and it was not much stable to me, so I hope the next ubuntu releases will be better [03:12] z1haze, what version you running? === Siva is now known as Guest11746 [03:12] z1haze, and what graphics card are you running? [03:13] amd raedeom r7 200 [03:13] raedeon* [03:13] z1haze, which ubuntu version? [03:13] its not ubuntu, you should know this [03:13] 13.10, 12.04? [03:13] :) [03:14] !ot | z1haze [03:14] z1haze: #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! [03:15] how to increase vram for intel hd? [03:15] z1haze, open a terminal and run the following command. lsb_release -a [03:15] im not on ubuntu, it was just a typical question. people here are knowledgable i was hoping i coudl get some help [03:16] z1haze, display handling can differ across distributions [03:16] i have 2 identical monitors, one is working fine, the other is saying generic non pnp [03:16] z1haze, what os are you using? [03:16] win7 [03:16] z1haze: what kind of cables? [03:16] z1haze, if you don't provide information when asked, you are not providing info to help solve the problem [03:16] *facepalm [03:17] :) [03:17] one is vga, and the other is dvi-d to hdmi [03:17] z1haze, open a terminal. run this command lsb_release -a [03:17] !windows [03:17] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [03:17] akiva, stfu man [03:17] z1haze: there is your problem, only dvi and hdmi support pnp, vga does NOT [03:17] z1haze, stop that now. [03:17] well hes annoying, spamming me bot stuff [03:17] !attitude|z1haze, [03:17] z1haze,: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [03:18] does anyone know of a way to completely remove all of the scopes from the dash [03:18] pfifo, thanks for that input though [03:18] z1haze, READ the messages from the bots. [03:18] that makes sense, so how would i get it to work how it should with vga? [03:19] !scopes|Keith_, [03:19] z1haze: manually change your resolution with the GPU's vendors software [03:19] alright thanks pfifo, ill check that out, i suppose it should be in the catalyst control center? [03:19] actually I wouldn't be entirely suprised if the DVI / HDMI one is the one not being recognized [03:20] let me check actually, just to know, nope the vga is the issue [03:20] the dvi-d/hdmi is reading 1080 [03:20] z1haze, are you runnign ubuntu? [03:20] but yeah this is definitely not the best channel for specific help. It is a common issue though [03:21] so if you don't find your answer through something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+won%27t+recognize+display+over+vga+cable [03:21] kostkon, no he is running windows [03:21] win7 to be precise. [03:21] then try #windows [03:21] kostkon, I asked repeatedly but he won't specify the OS [03:21] z1haze, this is a ubuntu support channel [03:22] So, would anyone happen to know of an Ambiance theme that works with GNOME Shell and GTK3+ for Ubuntu Gnome 13.10? I kinda don't like the whole "Adwaita" theme too much... [03:22] i know guys, i know, ive been here for help before on my dedi servers, so i know u all are intelligent [03:22] i didnt think it was cause a nuclear explosion for me to ask a question thats not related to ubuntu directly [03:22] z1haze: so you also know that this channel is for Ubuntu support and not a general help channel? [03:22] hey akiva, you ever get a job yet? [03:22] z1haze, you're in the wrong channel. please go to #windows for windows support. thank you. [03:23] :) [03:23] one other thing a need to know is how do you create custom launchers in ubuntu there is no option on the desktop [03:23] i tried that obviously, [03:23] !ot|z1haze [03:23] z1haze: #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! [03:23] im taking the laptop to my fallout shelter now, incase there is a nuclear explosion [03:23] z1haze, we will not support windows in the ubuntu channel. that is alll. [03:23] lol pfifo [03:25] here's an ubuntu question -- anyone here using ubuntu server as a NAS controller? [03:25] ShutterBC, might want to ask the #ubuntu-server channel [03:25] I know a few that are [03:25] pfifo, that worked! thanks so much [03:26] how to edit bios file? [03:27] Sorry to post the same thing again (i think it got lost in the recent commotion lol) But, would anyone happen to know of an Ambiance theme that works with GNOME Shell and GTK3+ for Ubuntu Gnome 13.10? I kinda don't like the whole "Adwaita" theme too much... [03:27] ok bye 4 now, Thanks a lot for all Help [03:27] n e one for TEA?? [03:27] bye [03:28] ice9, what are you trying to do with bios? [03:29] ShutterBC: I want to edit the vram value [03:30] ice9, so you want to increase VRAM assigned for Intel HD video [03:30] ShutterBC: yes [03:30] My laptop display no longer goes to to sleep despite having it set to go to sleep about after 5 minutes of inactivity in "Power Management Preferences". Could someone help me troubleshoot this issue? [03:32] I'm looking for a standalone youtube application that still works good. Any ideas? [03:33] What do you use hardware and software under linux to record synth audio out? I have a mobile pre interface but it doesn't appear to work unless it's only sending signals to the usb. (i have yet to hook it up to the laptop) [03:33] markusdbx, plenty of options in your software cente4r [03:33] Can you guys recommend a way to rip audio from a flash-based app in the browser? I want to put a bunch of talks on my phone as mp3s, but right now they're behind this flash app online. [03:33] TerranceWarrior, ask in #ubuntustudio [03:33] TerranceWarrior, or #opensourcemusicians [03:34] cfhowlett: any particular app that you can recommend? [03:34] ice9, you don't need to edit bios file. you need to boot into bios (usually hit del or f1 key during POST at startup) [03:34] html5 is your best answer. [03:34] markusdbx, no but you can sort the list by ratings [03:34] or, set memory in xorg.conf. see this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/en/man4/intel.4.html [03:34] ShutterBC: I don't have that option in BIOS to select [03:34] Hello! [03:35] since #ssh is dead, I'll ask here [03:35] anyway to only allow localhost to use password authentication for SSH? [03:35] currently I have it off [03:35] akurilin, firefox has a download helper plugin that will pull flash audio and video === knightshade2 is now known as knightshade [03:36] hello [03:36] * wanggs hello [03:36] akurilin, hey [03:36] markusdbx, what about minitube? [03:37] akurilin, you want to rip audio from a flash file? [03:37] ra4king: im pretty sure openssh server supports hosts.allow and hosts.deny [03:37] akurilin, have you tried youtube-dl? It supports a lot of flash video sites [03:37] akurilin, and you can set it to download just the audio [03:37] pfifo: ah, haven't heard of that [03:38] ra4king, so in other words you're trying to deny password auth for external connections [03:38] yes [03:38] as I have services running internally to my server that need to access SSH but I don't want to give them my private key [03:39] cfhowlett, akiva-mobile I double-checked what site this is on, this is on anymeeting.com [03:39] ra4king: youll have to research it yourself, i dont know much more than the fact that it exists 'man hosts_access' [03:39] they have their own streaming client in flash [03:39] thanks [03:39] I just needed a base to google with, as all wordings I've tried haven't worked [03:39] akurilin, there is a good chance that youtube-dl supports it. Try this : [03:39] akurilin, your best bet is the download helper ffox plugin [03:39] akurilin, open up a terminal, ctrl alt t, and type "sudo apt-get install youtube-dl" [03:40] ra4king, have you looked at all the options available in sshd_config? [03:40] ShutterBC: no [03:40] ra4king: disregard what i was suggesting, it wont do what you described. [03:40] pfifo: yup seems like it [03:40] Ok I'll check these options out [03:40] adding something hosts.allow will disallow everybody else [03:41] akurilin, you general purposes there is also this app https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/allvideodownloader/ [03:41] akurilin, yep, and once you have youtube-dl, test it out by doing this "youtube-dl urlofthevideo" [03:41] ra4king, you want to configure certificate based auth, essentially. looking up sshd_config and certificate based authentication should help [03:41] for/you* [03:41] akurilin, if it works you can explore the numerous options of youtube-dl after. [03:41] or rather host based authentication [03:41] found something! http://askubuntu.com/questions/101670/how-can-i-allow-ssh-password-authentication-from-only-certain-ip-addresses [03:42] how is this ^^? [03:43] ra4king, pretty good. I'd definitely run local console while testing this obviously [03:43] ShutterBC: local console? [03:44] yeah just in case you accidentally deny all ssh connections [03:44] oh yeah :D [03:44] I've remotely configured ssh on servers before and prayed I didn't make a mistake :) [03:44] ShutterBC: well what do you know [03:44] I just did that [03:44] opened a new bash shell and tried SSH-ing in..... denied [03:44] * ra4king facepalms [03:45] I run 'ri socket::accept', get 'no matches found'. why? I have gem install rdoc rdoc-data [03:45] enali, ruby related? [03:46] ra4king, at least you can try again. oh and you can run sshd in foreground mode with verbose output to speed up testing [03:47] (or just tail the log) [03:47] jesus [03:47] so much to learn [03:47] ShutterBC: foreground mode? [03:47] :D [03:47] uh, lemme see if I remember how... sshd -dD I think [03:49] boop [03:49] ruby 2.1.1 [03:49] i did it, the fabled mastahcrunch [03:49] https://gist.github.com/Statix/9718418 [03:50] just look at that and loool [03:50] I just can use ri to get rails' help, such as from ActiveRecord [03:50] goddamn, this doesn't work [03:50] using Match [03:50] * dcmg bows [03:51] but can't get help about ruby self [03:51] I've got a PHD in crunchgenology [03:51] ri Socket.new, will not success [03:51] anyone help [03:52] HELL YES it worked [03:52] :) [03:52] ShutterBC: using Match address 127.0.0.1 worked! [03:52] sweet [03:52] my local service was able to SSH with password :D [03:53] dcmg, crunched is all of those tools contained in the binary? and you can call it recursively for kicks? [03:54] and using SSH from my remote computer with private key is rejected :D [03:54] thank you all [03:54] ShutterBC: exactly, "cruched" is the default name of the bainry ``crunchgen'' spits out [03:55] "crunched" * [03:55] ShutterBC: generally a system uses a series of links going to it. in place of a normal set of utilities [03:56] the odd thing is the sheer size of the one I made. It has nearly everything :p [03:56] but thats what happens when you've got the twerk [03:57] * dcmg twerks [03:59] ShutterBC: but yes, you can call it like "crunched dd" or "crunched chmod" [03:59] just a little tedious [04:00] ./crunched dd * [04:01] oops im on the wrong channel [04:01] lol sorry you guys [04:01] ShutterBC: crunchgen is like the busybox of the *BSD world [04:10] dcmg, I'm accustomed to busybox. well thanks for the intro anyway [04:14] @rspinuz. sorry mate. just wasnt sure if it was seen, [04:14] hi all. i am looking to setup a spare machine i have as a ubuntu firewall/router for my home network. my plan is to use it like so. have the ubuntu machine as a centra backup location where all of our computer data syncs to, run my download clients on it and use it to stream media to the house (if possible). but i also want it to be able to limit both the quota and speed of data to the download [04:14] clients running on the same machine. is this possible? am i able to make a virtual network adaptor, and have the downloader use that, and then limit that ip? or does it not work like that? i am interested in learning how this all works and providing an extra layer of security to my network. not that it has ever been broken into, its only a home connection. [04:15] grumble... trying to upgrade to trusty tahr and I get "could not calculate the upgrade". I'm guessing this is because I have a locally built and installed kernel. and I purged the 13.10 kernels. is there an easy way to restore them? [04:15] slyrus: You should ask in #ubuntu+1, there could be some issue with the upgrade right now. [04:16] thanks flannel [04:16] slyrus, I believe sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will pull the latest standard kernel === jack is now known as Guest12671 [04:16] Does anyone here use Sublime text 2 here? [04:17] shadykhan: yrs [04:17] !anyone [04:17] !details | shadykhan [04:17] shadykhan: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [04:17] cfhowlett: doesn't seem to. It's possible I purged it and it doesn't reinstall it. had too many kernels lying around. whoops. [04:18] In sublime text 2 on windows there was this feature where if you click and hold the scroll wheel you can select multiple lines is there a way to do it on Ubuntu? [04:18] shadykhan: yes [04:20] morning to all [04:21] i cant get wifi enabled on a medion netbook with wifi chipset ralink rt2970, wifi in bios is set to 'last state' and wifi icon shows grey: wifi disabled any clues? [04:22] i tryed 12.04, 13.10 and lubuntu, all say wifi disabled [04:22] jbates58: Are you there? [04:23] yeah mate. sorry, i accidently put the wrong text in. i have been out for lunch and went back through the logs, and there was no responses. so i thought that i would ask again if anyone new has joined the channel. [04:23] jbates58: Do you mind a pm? [04:24] no mate. pm away. [04:25] cfhowlett: success. [04:25] cfhowlett: thank you! [04:25] TerranceWarrior, glad to help. be safe, have fun === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away === frums is now known as sheeep [04:32] is drm-intel kernel only for intel, does it have some radeon patches too? [04:38] Hi cfhowlett [04:38] rspinuz, greetings [04:49] rspinuz: I am still stuck at that CD-ROM issue. lsscsi lists it but when I insert any CD it doesn't read it. lsmod doesn't show any module that seems to support CD-ROM either. /etc/modules don't have any modules that are relevant either. Do I need to insmod some module?Any hints? [04:54] i have a file file.tar.gz how to install it ? [04:56] red_: its some source code? [04:56] red_: first you need to unpack it [04:56] red_: for example using a terminal, tar zxvf file.tar.gz [04:56] plasma :I have unpacked now in desktop [04:56] after that [04:56] ls [04:56] it is some sourcecode? [04:57] ./configure && make && sudo make install [04:57] no its install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [04:57] if it is [04:57] then just ./install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [04:57] err, chmod +x install_...... [04:57] (install_flash_player_11_linux.i386) [04:57] or maybe before what willwh says [04:57] i cant get wifi enabled on a medion netbook with wifi chipset ralink rt2970, wifi in bios is set to 'last state' and wifi icon shows grey: wifi disabled any clues? [04:57] i tryed 12.04, 13.10 and lubuntu, all say wifi disabled === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [04:58] lotuspsychje, I know this is an obvious question but it happened to me once [04:58] lotuspsychje, but did you accidently switch it off on your laptop? [04:58] the physical switch I mean? [04:58] plasma :after that [04:59] now i am in /Desktop/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386$ [04:59] KyouReeUs4nfo_: I thought you did not want to use your cd rom? [04:59] akiva-mobile: there is no physical switch mate, just bios disable/last state [04:59] chmod +x install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [04:59] ./install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [04:59] just these 2 lines [04:59] but [04:59] lotuspsychje, are you sure? Most laptops have a switch somewhere on the side. [04:59] !flash [04:59] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:59] akiva-mobile: also i can Fn+F7 to enable/disable but that doesnt fix either [04:59] rspinuz: I would like to use it [05:00] plasma: you can also just run sh install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [05:00] akiva-mobile: this model doesnt got switch [05:00] lotuspsychje, o_O what model? [05:00] or the way rspinuz says [05:00] no need to chmod first [05:00] sh install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [05:00] in the end its the same [05:00] akiva-mobile: medion akoya netbook e1211 [05:00] no such file or directory [05:01] except one is package managed and one isn't [05:01] red_: /file/path/to/script/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [05:01] red_: sh /file/path/to/script/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386 [05:01] akiva-mobile: lspci -C network actually sees the wifi chipset and driver loaded [05:01] akiva-mobile: but cant get it enabled somehow [05:01] lotuspsychje, its just really strange.... [05:02] KyouReeUs4nfo_: you said you did a fresh install correct? [05:02] lotuspsychje, sorry not meaning to be offensive here, but are you absolutely sure there is no switch, not like under the battery or something? [05:02] akiva-mobile: i get ipv6 warning in logs and wifi drops [05:02] lotuspsychje, oh you get temporary wifi? [05:02] akiva-mobile: yes ive searched everywhere [05:03] lotuspsychje, has wifi worked before? [05:03] akiva-mobile: i saw wifi networks once (after first setup) then reboot and never got it on again [05:03] lotuspsychje, very strange... [05:04] akiva-mobile: cant see hardware switch nowhere either [05:04] akiva-mobile: Disable ipv6 for that connection then restart the network service and try again [05:04] lotuspsychje, you said you looked in the bios; it was not switched off there was it? [05:04] lotuspsychje, just covering the obvious issues; :P [05:04] akiva-mobile: tryed all options in bios, can choose between: disabled and 'last state' [05:05] I meant my message for lotuspsychje [05:05] lotuspsychje, last state? That is just wierd. [05:05] rspinuz: Yes, I installed it not too long ago, but it did go through couple of manual kernel upgrades [05:05] akiva-mobile: yes thats some weird option on medion computers lol [05:06] lotuspsychje, hate to say this, but did you try it with windows? [05:06] KyouReeUs4nfo_: Did you use the same drive to install? [05:06] akiva-mobile: the netbook has xp as default Os, there it works fine [05:06] rspinuz: live-usb was used [05:06] lotuspsychje, but never on linux? [05:07] akiva-mobile: once after setup with eth cable, but after reboot gone.. [05:07] lotuspsychje, and you tried 3 distrobutions? [05:07] akiva-mobile: 12.04 and 13.10 and lubuntu 13.10 [05:08] akiva-mobile: they all give me grey text in wifi icone: wifi network disabled [05:08] KyouReeUs4nfo_: lspci | pastebinit [05:08] o_o [05:08] akiva-mobile: no additional drivers open neither.. [05:09] lotuspsychje, can you try to get back the wifi list by using the ethernet trick again? [05:09] lotuspsychje, or alternatively, cna you get wifi with a livecd? [05:09] a live desktop* [05:09] akiva-mobile: wifi shows grey: wifi disabled already in the live usb [05:10] rspinuz: http://pastebin.com/XwwXixVy [05:10] akiva-mobile: i have been forced to use eth cable [05:10] lotuspsychje, is there any bios upgrades you can do it? [05:10] KyouReeUs4nfo_: do the same thing for your scsi devices [05:10] akiva-mobile: didnt try that yet [05:10] KyouReeUs4nfo_: Please and thank you [05:10] I use a dedicated server for hosting my site via ssh running 3.11.0-12-generic. WHat are your best recommendation to create automatic backups to another server (via scp of sftp or something.)? I understand how to use cron and basic bash. [05:11] or bios refreshes? I mean what I think you need to do, is try it with xp, see if it still works [05:11] and if it doesnt then we know its an ubuntu issue [05:11] GeekAdmin: rsync over ssh [05:11] ALso I usually just script up my local backup of site folder...what do you guys do? [05:11] GeekAdmin: rsync with ssh (sorry) [05:11] akiva-mobile: xp works fine on the wifi, maybe its some weird software managing wifi for windows only? [05:11] lotuspsychje, but you havnt tried it since ubuntu [05:11] GeekAdmin: I do the same as you [05:12] rspinuz ok I need to learn rsync. You are 3rd person to recommend. It has to be the best [05:12] lotuspsychje, like you may have experienced a hardware failure between now and then. [05:12] rsync have encryption like scp? [05:12] rspinuz:http://pastebin.com/6cCznmrW [05:12] akiva-mobile: i dont think so mate [05:12] GeekAdmin: It keeps your files synced and only backups the new or modified files [05:12] GeekAdmin: yes that is why I said with ssh [05:13] it will use scp [05:13] lotuspsychje, well, if multiple kernels are not working, [05:13] akiva-mobile: rfkill list shows also its softblocked and i cant get it unblocked [05:13] lotuspsychje, wow interesting [05:13] KyouReeUs4nfo_: Give me a second let me try and find something for you [05:13] rspinuz: much appreciated [05:14] KyouReeUs4nfo_: No problem [05:14] rspinuz: umm so rsync fior remote backup that is like a mirror....? [05:14] akiva-mobile: sudo rfkill unblock all, does nothing [05:14] lotuspsychje, may be worth looking at sys logs; [05:14] GeekAdmin: No [05:14] rspinuz: This is a small site with only text changing on regular basis. [05:15] rspinuz I like having backups liek weekly or daily [05:15] then it will always be working [05:15] rspinuz: for at least 6 months [05:15] rspinuz hut this is a dedictated server. and I shouldnt have to instal cpanel or something should I? cuz thats lame [05:15] GeekAdmin: Just to do backups? [05:16] akiva-mobile: syslogs give me that ipv6 adr wifi drop warning [05:16] rspinuz: No I work on sites, I like having backups of the site through build process especially [05:17] lotuspsychje, dmesg [05:17] KyouReeUs4nfo_: cat /proc/scsi/scsi | pastebinit and dmesg | pastebinit [05:17] rspinuz: Its reallly handy when something goes wrong too, like, I can go back 2 hours ago and see. the problem wasnt then....then use diff.... [05:17] lotuspsychje, do you get anything from that? [05:17] rspinuz you get the point [05:17] !info rsnapshot | GeekAdmin [05:17] GeekAdmin: rsnapshot (source: rsnapshot): local and remote filesystem snapshot utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-3 (saucy), package size 144 kB, installed size 644 kB [05:17] akiva-mobile: yes that where i found the ipv6 adrconf wifi drop [05:18] SchrodingersScat THanks! [05:18] SchrodingersScat rhat might be it [05:19] akiva-mobile: something like this: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: [05:19] link is not ready [05:19] rspinuz:http://pastebin.com/z7kr68c4 [05:20] the default web root is /var/www which I hate but had trouble changing correctly to my non root account [05:20] GeekAdmin: worth reading into if you haven't heard about it before. [05:20] so I'm stuck using sudo vim index.php [05:20] lotuspsychje, honestly I would check if it is a hardware issue first by retrying xp. otherwise, I am not so experienced with kernel diving to tell you anything you don't know yet [05:21] SchrodingersScat: Its not like some package a dude made in a day and never updated? loll [05:21] akiva-mobile: well it would be very strange 3 ubuntu versions load the same module and would be wrong right? [05:21] !permissions | GeekAdmin [05:21] GeekAdmin: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [05:21] lotuspsychje, it is strange that it worked, and then it never worked again. [05:22] akiva-mobile: not so experienced myself on the kernel and module thing [05:22] SchrodingersScat Only because their Ubuntu link is down [05:22] lotuspsychje, I don't mind getting into it with you, but to confirm the issue first would be best [05:22] akiva-mobile: i dont think it broke, rather i think this is a weird medion issue, only listening to medion wifi software? [05:23] lotuspsychje, yah that is another possibility [05:23] SchrodingersScat: I understand the basics of file permissions. lol jerk. [05:23] * GeekAdmin slaps SchrodingersScat around a bit with a large trout. [05:23] lotuspsychje, its a french netbook after all. But for it to work even once then does not make sense [05:24] akiva-mobile: i know thats so weird [05:24] SchrodingersScat: but I want to move it to /home/cameron/publuc_html [05:24] GeekAdmin: looks like it was updated several years ago maybe [05:24] lotuspsychje, netbooks :P how sucky. Thing is though, ubuntu shows it working before [05:24] akiva-mobile: anyway many tnx for your support [05:24] lotuspsychje, you could try getting into ndiswrapper [05:24] SchrodingersScat which also involves editing apache config files I cant seem to get to work right. Man has apache changed [05:24] if you really want to torture yourself [05:25] SchrodingersScat I stayed away for too long [05:25] akiva-mobile: my acer netbook with ssd works flawless :p [05:25] GeekAdmin: I would probably just make a symlink, but I also don't know your end goal. [05:25] akiva-mobile: also tryed to load that module with ndiswrapper but no luck === akim_ is now known as akim [05:26] akiva-mobile: maybe ill buy a cheap usb wifi that loads out of the box [05:26] akiva-mobile: not sure if its relevant, but battery broke so only adapter power works [05:27] akiva-mobile: tryed also to disabled wlan0 power management, but no luck [05:27] SchrodingersScat: I think I'm going to write on my desktop a bash script that uses scp to make a backup every 12 hours....then after 4 months is deletes the old backups. This is a small site. [05:27] SchrodingersScat But then you have to store the password ina file and Its a pain to get to work [05:27] SchrodingersScatL I was never able to get scp to work with a stored encrypted pass [05:28] GeekAdmin: you can't use keys? ; oh, then sounds like that's your question. [05:29] not right now. FIst off I'm using a MacBook Pro with a keyboard protector that is like a condom. Second I'm on Etizolam which is basically Xannax but totally unscheduled in the USA. [05:29] so legal [05:30] GeekAdmin: awesome. I meant like this though: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [05:30] its like xannax but made by god knows who when you get it. Its considered more addictive by a lot of people and has a shorter half life. SO I dont reocmmend it! [05:30] been a bitch to get off it [05:31] lotuspsychje, sorry, dropping the kids off at the pool [05:31] !offtopic | GeekAdmin , also !language [05:31] GeekAdmin , also !language: #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! [05:31] akiva-mobile: cheers! [05:31] for what it's worth, your unscheduled pills aren't really on-topic for #ubuntu-offtopic either [05:31] lotuspsychje, battery broke? [05:31] SchrodingersScat: I'll use that ink thanks and sorry forbreaking rules I know. I"m messed up and shouldnt be here [05:31] peace [05:31] rww: fair enough [05:32] akiva-mobile: yes im on adapter power only [05:32] lotuspsychje, well so your netbook is now stationary anyways [05:32] might be best to just use ethernet :P [05:33] if you can't move it away from a plug, don't really need wifi then do you :P [05:33] well the power cord is long to sit in seat :p [05:33] akiva-mobile: ill find myself a cheap usb adapter [05:34] lotuspsychje, anyways if the battery broke, I could imagine that the wifi broke too [05:34] akiva-mobile: tnx for your support [05:34] yah good luck [05:34] akiva-mobile: howso? === Cen1nant is now known as Ceninant [05:34] lotuspsychje, how did the battery break? [05:34] maybe it shares some hardware. [05:35] akiva-mobile: well wifi did work on xp on the broken battery [05:35] ah :P okay well you are on your own then :p [05:35] akiva-mobile: but maybe ubuntu doesnt like that? maybe i should dconf and see other power options [05:36] lotuspsychje, installing xp doesnt take that long to just try it out [05:36] anyways [05:36] gl [05:36] akiva-mobile: i will doublecheck ok! [05:36] akiva-mobile: tnx again === root_ is now known as Guest59254 === Guest97287 is now known as ponbiki [05:44] Hello everyone, I need help on GRUB configuration, anyone might help ? The problem is : whent the computer starts, GRUB does ALWAYS launch its shell instead of showing differents choices of OS, which are correctly detected by grub-mkconfig. [05:45] irrodeus, which distro are you running [05:45] and when did you install it? [05:46] akiva : less than a week ago, elementaryOS (build on ubuntu). It's in dualboot with the pre-installed W8. [05:46] irrodeus, hmmmm [05:46] elementary OS issues go in #elementary, not here. You're probably looking for something in /etc/default/grub followed by sudo update-grub to apply changes. [05:46] irrodeus, ^ [05:47] It's a grub issue, not on elementary one. :-) [05:47] rww : i posted in #elementary but i thought of going here as it is a GRUB problem, not elementary. [05:47] Ceninant : :) [05:47] Ceninant, distros handle grubs diferently at install [05:47] irrodeus, why elementry os specifically? [05:47] Ceninant, irrodeus: doesn't matter. Our derivatives make changes to their software, and we have no way of keeping up with every change by every distro to know that they didn't change e.g. GRUB configuration. [05:48] akiva : i reinstalled GRUB multiple times with boot-repair, BTW. eOS was just a matter of interface, this is going for a non-tecchy friend of mine. [05:48] irrodeus,^ and maybe you might want to consider just installing ubuntu instead; Its grub configurations are extremely stable [05:49] irrodeus, yah if he is non techy, you would be better off giving him ubuntu imo. [05:49] irrodeus, and boot-repair; i have never had much luck with that. [05:49] akiva : would installing GRUB from the ubuntu liveCD, and not eOS live CD, change anything you think ? [05:50] irrodeus, anyways this is not the channel for it, but my own pragmatic advice is that I always save time just doing a reinstall. Grub configuration is a rabbithole of sorts. [05:50] akiva : me neither. Actually it just screwed the windows boot option from the EFI. [05:50] irrodeus, yah I think it would change something. If it does not, then you can get a lot of support in #ubuntu :) [05:51] akiva : i spent two hours and finally had to manually type the UUIDs of partitions on my first archlinux isntall. GRUB can be a so big pain sometimes... [05:51] but in so long as its an elementry os issue, mmmmm :) politely try #grub or #elementary [05:51] akiva : okay, thanks :) I'll take a try on Ubuntu this time. [05:51] irrodeus, yep lol. I feel your pain [05:51] irrodeus, good luck! [05:52] akiva : and secondary, i also needed help on the touchscreen not being tactile at all... [05:52] irrodeus, when it was the old grub, it used to be a lot easier to mess around with. Since grub2 (?) - I gave up trying to manually configure. [05:53] The proprietary driver tool found nothing; i found no driver either on internet. [05:53] irrodeus, on elementry os? If it was on ubuntu, that would be something we would definitely want to look in for the sake of unity [05:53] !autocomplete [05:53] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:53] akiva : here only the UEFI + the need to keep a dualboot makes this a pain... otherwise it would be much simpler [05:54] akiva : yup. But even, it isn't recognized even by linux, this is a driver problem [05:54] irrodeus, ha ha, yah, I finally told my family members that if they want to run windows, I won't help them solve their problems. Ubuntu or bust. [05:55] Most just changed to ubuntu and decided libreoffice was good enough [05:56] irrodeus, hmmm id be surprised if there was not some project to get a open sauce driver implimented for the kernel, but I don't know. [05:57] akiva : there are, but it seems to be an hours-long process to get it working, and it'll just produce an unstable system in the end i think.. [05:57] * cfhowlett thinks mmmmmmm. open sauce! [05:58] irrodeus, are you a developer, or wanting to get into it? [05:58] irrodeus, you could help write the driver [06:00] akiva : i could only provide the info and tests on a specific device. I'm a bit into programming but still needs to learn much more. However, i would love to help, where should i go for this ? [06:00] hi all [06:01] hi subscope [06:02] Hi. I try to tune into libreplant livestream but I get this error "No video with supported format or MIME type found. I get the same error for all 3 rooms' live stream. Please help? [06:02] irrodeus, great question. I am a self taught programmer, and I can tell you that the first step is a bit of a hurdle, but getting over that, it tends to be smooth sailing [06:03] irrodeus, and its a lot of fun. [06:03] irrodeus, for ubuntu, learning qt is a great start [06:04] because that gets you into gui development, you learn a bit of c++ (Which if you can learn that, you can learn anything) [06:04] soe, I recomend to grab the ubuntu sdk from the software centre, [06:05] akiva-mobile: I did got into C and Python, currently studying programming but i'll shift to another school, as my actual learning program is shitty as hell [06:05] irrodeus, ah very nice! [06:05] irrodeus, what ide's are you using? [06:05] Hi. What does a red session menu means? [06:05] Normally it's white. [06:05] irrodeus, I really like geany for python development. [06:06] or really general purpose. [06:06] and qtcreator for c, c++, and qt [06:06] akiva-mobile: code::blocks for C (haven't touched it for a while though, don't like it so much but runs good) and pycharm community for python. [06:06] irrodeus, mmm yah, codeblocks is... codeblocks :P [06:07] akiva : But i got into python recently and haven't test that one yet, so i'll give it a ride :) [06:07] irrodeus, if you want to join me and another fellow, we are currently doing the python challenge [06:07] collaboratively [06:07] akiva-mobile: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ ? [06:07] irrodeus, yep [06:08] irrodeus, the reason I like geany and qtcreator predominantly is that it works well with ubuntu's hud [06:08] akiva-mobile: I'll be hardly free before the end of the month but it would be a joy [06:08] akiva-mobile: for everyday use i'm on ArchLinux. [06:08] irrodeus, many ubuntu users never learn to use the hud, but it drastically increases your workflow [06:09] irrodeus, I know arch linux users love their distro, and for good reason, but I really suggest people try unity for programming development [06:09] akiva-mobile: maybe we should take this conversation elsewhere, or we're going to flood the chat a bit x) [06:09] irrodeus, good idea === Rarity is now known as Guest32243 [06:12] hi [06:14] bajinlee, hi [06:14] bajinlee, hello === cipher is now known as Guest74746 [06:16] what can i do with this Ubuntu studio [06:16] I am not able to sign in to any website like fb,google,github..etc using any browser on ubuntu 11.04 [06:16] any solution [06:17] bajinlee, pardon? [06:17] Guest74746, ubuntu 11.04 is no longer supported. I would suggest upgrading [06:17] i cannot solve my flash [06:18] bajinlee, why do you need ubuntu-studio? [06:18] with Firefox [06:18] !flash [06:18] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:21] how to download the flash from adobe?do i need a apt manager ? [06:22] bajinlee, You don't https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [06:22] bajinlee, just install flashplugin-installer [06:24] oh,thanks,maybe i have gotten it! [06:26] and how can i manage to get the studio to express in Chinese? [06:29] bajinlee, ubuntu studio is less stable than ubuntu [06:29] oh? [06:29] bajinlee, usually you download it if you need jack [06:29] at least in my experience [06:29] and its kernel is a bit different if I recall [06:30] sorry i do not know... [06:30] its best for professional audio developers who need the special use cases [06:30] bajinlee, oh no need to be sorry :) [06:31] ha ha [06:31] thanks [06:31] bajinlee, but again, do you need ubuntu studio for anything in particular? Or did you just install it because you casually enjoy audio editting? [06:32] i don't know,but i want to learn about it [06:32] bajinlee, about ubuntu in general or ubuntu studio? Again, its tailored for post production [06:34] bajinlee, like I would recommend ubuntu studio for people doing heavy audio editting, [06:34] oh [06:35] i get to know [06:35] !chinese [06:35] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [06:35] thanks!

[06:41] if no I will try best with english that I know [06:42] j4son, sorry, was that french or spanish? [06:43] akiva-mobile: it's Catalan, closer to French than Spanish but a good blend between them both [06:44] j4son, ah wow... [06:44] !catalan [06:44] lol nope. [06:44] !french [06:44] Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc.

[06:54] hey guys [06:59] FuuqUmiist, hey [07:01] hi [07:02] Hi all [07:03] Bluewolf, greetings. what's your ubuntu issue? [07:04] cfhowlett: My install is still crashing - You know all about it :D [07:06] Is it able to fix an Android phone whose inner-flash has been formatted with fdisk ? lsusb just shows a Qulacomm,inc. item. [07:07] cfhowlett: In fact I wanted to ask, I have reinstalled my computer completely with Windows without a problem and Linux Mint runs well off the CD. That being said could my Ubuntu Live CD be faulty? [07:08] Bluewolf, could be. checksum the USB [07:08] !md5sum [07:08] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:09] bokuno, ask on #android [07:10] cfhowlett: Is that how I could check the CD to make sure it is indeed the problem before I burn another? [07:10] cfhowlett: Ok. Thanks. [07:11] Bluewolf, first check your source ISO. checking the burned cdrom is a different process. [07:11] Bluewolf, same page: check the CD instructions [07:12] cfhowlett: The source was off the Ubuntu site, its installed a number of times before without a problem. [07:12] Bluewolf, irrelevant. bad downloads happen. verification takes minutes. [07:13] cfhowlett: Okay, how would I go about this process? [07:14] Bluewolf, read - the - link - I - sent - for - instructions [07:14] !md5sum [07:15] cfhowlett: Sorry I did not see it, Okay give me a moment. :D [07:16] :) [07:17] how do you check if ubuntu is using the proper video driver for your video card? [07:19] FuuqUmiist, proper? [07:19] FuuqUmiist, what card you running?

[12:41] because $1 works but $2 seems not [12:42] Dureiken: it depends on the init-script i'd guess [12:42] yes [12:42] you can pass KEY=VALUE ... as man initctl describes ... but indeed the upstart job needs to be able to do something with it [12:43] Dureiken: example: /etc/init.d/ssh has a line: .... if [ -n "$2" ]; then SSHD_OPTS="$SSHD_OPTS $2" .... /etc/init.d/ntp hasn't, it would ignore $2 [12:44] llutz, /etc/init.d is unused [12:44] the jobs live in /etc/init/ [12:44] ogra_: service is a sysV-init tools [12:44] tool* [12:46] hum [12:46] service calls initctl for nearly all jobs (there are admittedly a few coming from debian in universe that still forcefully use sysvinit and the upstart compat layer) [12:46] I don't understand what you say, I'm really beginner in linux [12:46] butu these are really few [12:46] Dureiken, post your job to a pastebin [12:46] I made a daemon first time last week seeing tutorial, I just would like to add a second argument [12:46] http://pastebin.com/qnnS0t1b [12:46] can someone help me [12:47] somehow my default screen resolution is set to 1024x768 [12:47] can someone explain to me what is meant by model in the last comment in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1524287.html [12:48] so you could use a global var called "ARG2", read that in your script and parse it [12:48] ogra_ where do I define ARG2 ? I don't see where ARG1 is [12:49] initctl toto restart ARG2=groestl [12:49] and instead of: [12:49] case "$2" in [12:49] you use: [12:49] case "$ARG2" in [12:49] javaholic, its a setting in the file [12:50] something like that might work [12:50] which file? [12:50] Dureiken, but i would suggest using an upstart job instead of a sysvinit script [12:51] http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ has documentation how to write one [12:51] ogra_ oh :) I have to learn a lot [12:51] javaholic, the settings are mentioned: "model=basic" "model=eeepc-p901" . The file is "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" [12:51] options snd-hda-intel model=generic ? [12:51] What to do so that Ubuntu will detect USB connected Canon Printer ? [12:51] Dureiken and learning something new can be frustrating, don't let that discourage you [12:51] cant say, just look in "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" [12:52] ogra_ I tried ARG2, doesn't work [12:52] sudo service mineur restart ARG2=groestl and case "$ARG2" in [12:52] Dureiken, might not work with old sysvinit [12:53] Dureiken, try: export ARG2=groestl; sudo service mineur restart === einar__ is now known as EinarLathe [12:54] same :( [12:54] well, then write an upstart job :) [12:54] it sdefinitely supports this ... (used all the time in ubuntu) [12:55] what other models are possible besides generic? [12:56] is trusty alpha upgradable to the beta? or does it have massive complications and should i wait on the beta ? [12:56] model=AD1988B would work? [12:56] if I had been using it before? [12:56] (AD1998B) [12:57] maybe. worth a try [12:57] pulsar78_, runs fine here (and yes, if you regulary update you should get the beta) [12:58] just make sure to always use the update-manager, it cares for some migrations apt doesnt do on its own [12:58] what could I do to make sure I have the right model?

[13:49] based absolutely on nothing: I think ctrl alt f1 -> your command should be pretty safe [13:50] I lefet a tail -f /var/log/auth.log running over night, and to my shock i saw a bunch of field password attempt for root from different ip source ? and they are all from china. how can i stop this [13:50] cisconinja: I use fail2ban for that [13:51] perlsaiyan: do i take one before bed and one after i wake up ;) [13:51] perlsaiyan: sorry it sounded like a real med :) [13:51] heh [13:54] will the daily build of 14.04 upgrade to lts or will you need to reinstall [13:54] why did i never use pidgin for irc ;P its actually great [13:54] any one there plz help [13:54] perlsaiyan: thank you for that tip, do i need to apt-get install it or there is a special way [13:54] andry: real pros use weechat or irssi! [13:54] :P [13:54] * cisconinja googling fail2ban [13:55] cisconinja: pretty sure it's packaged in ubuntu for a long time [13:55] cisconinja, i use csf to ip ban brute force attempts [13:55] vishal, ask a specific question , if anyone knows they will help you [13:55] cisconinja: or you could just disable password access for root [13:55] i want to install ubuntu while installing along side option not coming plz help ,and in some other option its coming only one drive but in windows i have 3 drives [13:55] vishal: there are 1504 people here [13:55] does anyone here know web design? [13:56] help please: when i run "smbtree" in terminal = result nothing [13:57] dylan how is that ubuntu related? [13:58] vishal, i have to say that installer was a bit dissapointing... for me it saw win7 and i choose to install with it but it was unbootable after [13:58] vishal, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [13:59] vishal, and here is another search hit http://askubuntu.com/questions/116883/ubuntu-alongside-windows-not-available-how-to-install-it [13:59] i wanna set up Samba to watch folders of other PC in my Ubuntu [14:01] MonkeyDust, I can't find a web design chat that is active, do you know of any? [14:01] Yakisoba-: you may want to try asking your question in #samba [14:01] if nobody answers here [14:01] LeartS: ok === hggdh_ is now known as hggdh [14:01] ._. hello ._. [14:02] LeartS: and if i disable root , will that also disable the used with sudo [14:02] dylan: do you need a chat? I think there is a web design stackexchange [14:02] and stackexschanges are usually pretty good [14:03] cisconinja: disabling root login does not disable root operations with sudo. Also note that I said disable *password* root login, not all root login - you could leave SSH key root login enabled [14:03] hello [14:04] but the best way is to disable root altoghether and make users use sudo to do root operations: that way you know who did what [14:04] and there are other advantages [14:04] I have a problem on ubuntu 12.04 when I ticked "Use this connection only for resources on its network" while connect to VPN, I can't connect to internal network [14:05] Hello all [14:06] cisconinja: http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1s1lsm/linux_admins_sudo_vs_root/ [14:06] Ubuntu 14.04 use unity 7 or 8 for default?

What command are you running to check to see if Apache is accepting reqeusts? [14:53] access.log empty makes me wonder if apache did actually ever get the request, I think not [14:53] rypervenche: telnet localhost 80 [14:53] how i can start vidalia [14:54] rypervenche: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [14:54] rypervenche: telnet: also trying in chrome [14:54] how can i find what login to use? ive tried everything [14:54] clyfe: From your netstat output it's only listening on localhost, and only on IPv6 for that matter.

[15:10] don't know if that's a problem or info message [15:10] yeah, I don't think it's a fatal problem that prevents it from starting neither.. [15:10] and other similar messages [15:11] if you wait a moment I'll try the instructions on my vps [15:11] https://github.com/mikehaertl/phpwkhtmltopdf seems to indicate work arounds - but I don't fully understand [15:11] Thanks LeartS === sysadmin is now known as Guest58847 [15:12] FYI - installed both wkhtmltopdf and xvfb by 'apt-get install' on an ubuntu 12.04LTS [15:13] LeartS: Yeah, he's good now. [15:15] someone help me [15:15] kev999: installed wkhtmltopdf and xvfb with apt on 13.10, command `xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf www.google.it out.pdf` worked [15:16] is that meant to make me feel better :-) [15:17] kev999: did you also create the .sh in the instructions? have you tried my command (without the .sh thing for now) [15:18] I created the .sh and lined it - shall I get rid ? [15:18] linked it [15:19] ig you linked it in /usr/share/local/bin no need, just try my command that uses the real executable in /usr/share/bin [15:19] *if [15:19] ops, /usr/bin the real one [15:19] it's catching - will do ... [15:21] LeartS - that worked - can you explain why ? happy, but confused [15:22] kev999: I don't know, maybe you just made an error when creating the .sh file? [15:23] it's just one line of code: xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 1024x768x24" /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf $* [15:24] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72 Mar 23 14:39 wkhtmltopdf.sh [15:26] hey guys [15:26] Hi there, I am having an issue with X displaying a black screen after I log in at the Ubuntu login prompt. I have tried deleting .Xauthority but it just generates a new one and black-screens again [15:26] kev999: send it to pastebin. [15:26] Hi guys [15:26] just a question [15:26] hi [15:26] kev999: hi [15:27] !ask | dupingping [15:27] dupingping: 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).

[15:30] But I can't save preferences of ibus with root. [15:30] How can I save it?

[15:34] please help me! [15:34] dupingping: And why are you running it as root? [15:34] dupingping: dont ever run xServer as root. [15:34] dupingping, dont run graphical stuff as root [15:35] LeartS - are you thinking that wkhtmltopdf is not calling the script ? [15:35] Ah, [15:35] everybody: [15:36] Now I am developing some software. [15:36] kev999: I honestly don't know: the fact that for you my command works and the script doesn't doesn't make sense. [15:36] And It is easy that develop with root user. [15:36] Regarding the question I asked earlier about X starting with a black screen -- you know what was wrong? I was playing with xmonad defaultConfig! Sorry about that, X is actually working just fine [15:36] But [15:36] dupingping: no. [15:37] k1l: why no? [15:37] dont do that [15:37] develop as a user [15:37] dupingping: stupid it is, not easy. work as user, only use sudo/root if really needed or don#t ask for help here [15:37] use sudo if you need to copy something into some system place [15:38] LeartS - now this bit IS beyond me - how do I know if wkhtml2pdf is calling the shell script ? or how can I prove it? [15:38] kev999: `which wkhtmltopdf` [15:38] Hi, i have ubunu desktop installed , will dhcp server work on it or i have to install ubuntu server ??? [15:39] heyla: it would work [15:39] LeartS - the o/p from that is: /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf ... does that mean it's not linked? [15:39] heyla: ubuntu desktop can do everything that ubuntu server can [15:41] no, it's correct, if oyu combine that with the output of `ll /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf` you'll see that it is the script getting called [15:41] how to install kernel module from file using modprob? [15:42] ice9: local file? sudo insmod foo.ko [15:42] thanks llutz [15:43] kev999: My onle 3 remaining options are: 1) if you try calling wkhtmltopdf now it works (did you try?) 2) the script is wrong (`cat /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh`) - 3) it's a problem related to what shell is invoked for the script [15:44] LeartS - many thanks for your help - I'm going to go away and try a few things. You have hopefully given me enough to resolve. You online for much longer? [15:45] I don't know.. probably yes, some hours [15:45] If I wanted to figure out how to run a server and I couldn't find a book called "Servers for Dummies", where should I start? [15:45] Great stuff - hopefully I'll report back some good news [15:46] TheOtherGuy: the internet [15:46] TheOtherGuy: a server for what? [15:46] Keywords, anything? It's hard seeing who the authority is when I'm completely new [15:47] TheOtherGuy: The word "server" is very ambiguous here. What would you like to do with said server? [15:47] Well, what kind of server do you want to run? what do you want to do with it? every pc connected to the internet can be considered a server.. [15:48] I have digital ocean but I'm basically handicapped to whatever tutorials they have [15:48] I want to store things, run a VPN, host a spider [15:48] oh, digital oceans vps are cool, I have one too. [15:49] TheOtherGuy: google "openvpn server ubuntu" and read the documentation [15:49] TheOtherGuy: read official distro docs, official software docs, and your vps provider docs. When they disagree, figure out why. [15:49] OpenVPN documentation is blocked in China [15:49] TheOtherGuy: well, use your vps... [15:50] TheOtherGuy: learn to use ssh-tunnels, if you already have a vps [15:50] Which I'm trying to set up... but... [15:50] TheOtherGuy: ssh -D 1080 vps; then setup firefox with a socks proxy to that port [15:50] TheOtherGuy: first of all: do you know how to connect to your vps?! [15:50] I can connect through Putty [15:51] well, first of all ditch putty, you are on Ubuntu and you don't need that. You have to start accustoming yourself to the command line if you want to use a vps [15:51] TheOtherGuy: http://www.adamfowlerit.com/2013/01/05/using-firefox-with-a-putty-ssh-tunnel-as-a-socks-proxy/ [15:52] TheOtherGuy: what OS are you connecting from? [15:52] TheOtherGuy, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html [15:52] W7 [15:52] TheOtherGuy: once you got that working, you can read the internet. and that is, what you'll have to do: look for a service you want to run and read the documentation === RoryHughes_ is now known as RoryHughes [15:53] llutz: still trying to set up the VPN...

[16:05] ikonia is trolling [16:05] and being rude to me [16:05] what ? [16:05] can some help me with that please [16:05] http://askubuntu.com/questions/378087/wacom-tablet-intuos-cth480s-dont-work [16:05] katana-: no he isn't. please ask a more specific ubuntu question. [16:05] why are you defending him [16:05] katana-: dont do that. he was asking to make a more specific question. we dont know what the "best" is, since its depends on your needs [16:05] Pinkamena_D: logging is not "automatic" in the sense that everything gets logged and then you need to find where. What gets logged and how much gets logged is a choice you make. [16:06] katana-: because you are wrong and he isn't trolling [16:06] consistantly, the only applications I choose to run are google chrome, chromium, irssi, and gedit. Those have been the only ones I manually started up when this error is happening. [16:06] yes he is [16:06] Pinkamena_D: I doubt that very much. Those applications rely on many, many others to work at all. [16:07] katana-: Alright let us move on. [16:07] I see what you mean. [16:07] Pinkamena_D: note that you have't asked how to diagnose why your suspend fails. You have asked how to look at the logs of what happened between resume and crash. [16:08] Hey there. I have a .wv and a .cue file and I want to split it up into mp3s. What's a good (preferably GUI) program for that? [16:08] the real issue, (because finding the logs seems to be more complicated then I at first imagined) is an IBM docking station. When the laptop is run without ever using the dock, it works fine, using the dock, seems to generate the resume freeze. Do any of you know what process would be assiocated with this? [16:09] I suppose if I knew which process that was I could indeed enable the log as you suggest. [16:09] Pinkamena_D: most logs as someone else said are under '/var/log'; if you want to expand the amount of logging that's a manual operation. [16:09] Pinkamena_D: but those under '/var/log' are only the logs for the applications that by default enabled logs, and the default level. [16:09] lenzeor: if you find no gui, shntools/cuetools [16:09] Ok, can you walk me trough that? [16:10] I got some errors when working with shntools [16:10] walex could you help me for a sek [16:10] please [16:10] lenzeor: cuebreakpoints foo.cue | shnsplit -o flac foo.wv [16:11] !info wavpack [16:11] wavpack (source: wavpack): audio codec (lossy and lossless) - encoder and decoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.60.1-3 (saucy), package size 57 kB, installed size 156 kB [16:11] Pinkamena_D: but given your description of the situation it is rather likely that the driver of one of the devices in the dock is buggy during suspend-resume and that has nothing to do with applications or services running at the time. [16:11] which are the best computers to run ubuntu on? [16:11] lenzeor: needs wavpack being installed, i guess [16:11] katana-, you really need to ask a bit more specific [16:12] i want it to be stable [16:12] Hi, are there settings anywhere to suppress the 'networks available' or 'disconnected from network' messages on the lightdm login screen? [16:12] I am really sorry to take up your time, but would you recommend I continue this by posting on ubuntuforums or Is there some immediate driver troubleshooting you can think of that I could do? [16:12] katana-, then get something with ubuntu preinstalled ... like one from system76 or a dell XPS13 or some such [16:12] katana-: Pick any major brand and make sure the components are all from Intel. [16:12] katana: are you looking for laptops, desktops, servers...? [16:12] I know you can use dconf to disable those messages as a user, but I can't find any settings to disable this at the lightdm login screen [16:13] laptop or desktop [16:13] Pinkamena_D: if you are a kernel developer you know how to do driver troubleshooting... [16:13] katana-: Lenovo Thinkpad. [16:13] I got a dell preinstalled with ubuntu 5 years ago and it freezes when you try to change brigtness [16:13] heh [16:13] katana-: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [16:13] jpds, is that foolproof, making sure it's all intel? i just hope for the best [16:13] llutz "cannot open non-existent file [*.flac]" [16:13] clue_h: Most of the Intel stuff has open-source drivers.

[16:17] inq, you just ctrl+shift c or v to copy and paste from terminal [16:17] Yeah, I'll just leave them as a .flac. My iPod/Windows-friends just constantly complain when I share music with them because they cannot deal with flac.

[16:19] really nice [16:19] prainworker, what problem do you have? [16:19] lenzeor: needs flac/libflac being installed [16:19] prainworker: what kind of prblem do you have? [16:19] hi, running 12.04, after a kernel installation the boot ends with "alert /dev/diskby-uuid does not exist". I found several solutions for it, like adding rootdelay=, but this doesnt work. Any clue how this can be fixed ? (I can boot back into the old kernel.) [16:20] anyone know how to find the order of executable paths on an Ubuntu server [16:20] Pinkamena_D: ah you are being realistic :-). Suspend/resume relies on both devices and drivers not being buggy while doing some very subtle state saving and restoring. It is inherently risky. [16:20] I notice that when some people get into a heated conversation, yuo may have to repeat your question a few times. I don't mean spamming, but maybe once every 10 minutes is no one at all replies. [16:20] i am new to linux and i would like to get my wacom tablet runnig if possible [16:20] hvn2: which kernel did you install? [16:20] i found allready informations about it but i dont know how to work it of [16:21] Walex: custom kernel 3.10.18 [16:21] prainworker: the Linux philosophy is either to buy supported hardware or to write your own driver for unsupported hardware... :-) [16:21] Walex: installed it using dpkg [16:21] the only drivers I have ever had to install in linux was once a video card driver. Usually every other device I used just worked. [16:21] walex there is a pkg called input-wacom-0.20.0 thats all i need [16:22] prainworker, what doesnt work exactly ? (there is even a gui tool shipped to configure your tablet in ubuntu) [16:22] i see it in settings [16:22] right [16:23] hvn2: if you compile custom kernels, you are a very advanced system developer and you know how to sort out the Ubuntu specific aspects of your kernel build... === dan_ is now known as Guest76380 [16:24] prainworker, why don't you try to install input-wacom with apt-get or synaptics [16:24] Hi all, since a few days, my Ubuntu saucy cannot *see* any usb disk anymore. They don't show up even in lsblk or lsusb. [16:24] prainworker: there is something resembling that in the 'lts-saucy' backports of the X Window packages. [16:24] Walex: i did build custom kernel (same one) for arm, which went fine. But for Ubuntu x86 it's the first time [16:25] prainworker: which ubuntu are you running exactly? [16:25] hola [16:25] 12.04 lts [16:26] prainworker: install xserver-xorg-input-wacom-lts-saucy [16:26] with apt-get install or the softwarecenter [16:27] Walex: actually not the first time...first custom kernel on 12.04 was 3.5.7...had no problem with that one.

[16:57] SunilJoshi, define "really slow" [16:57] prainworker, so you did a completely new install of the OS to get your tablet to work ? [16:57] no, seriously: the difference is amazing [16:57] oops [16:57] sudormrf: depending on the filesystem, specify the user it should be mounted as. [16:58] So yeah. I am trying to mount a network share at startup, but not as root. I have an fstab entry for it right now, but the permissions on the directory says root:users [16:58] cfhowlett: it takes more than 2 minutes to come to login screen [16:58] suniljoshi e4rat is a great tool it preloads files so the boot is faster [16:58] I think I need to chown the dir [16:58] bekks: cifs [16:58] I went from 40 seconds to basically 5 [16:58] SunilJoshi, are you running encryption? [16:58] SSDs are amazing [16:58] sudormrf: Which is wrong then. You have to specify the mount option to mount it as the user desired. [16:58] prainworker, if you did, why did you not use a newer ubuntu then, 12.04 is 2 years old ... i am very sure that 14.04 will work out of the box with that tablet [16:59] cfhowlett: not sure, how can i check this?

[17:24] itwasme: or the name you used before [17:25] ciao [17:25] whats the diffrence between "dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid at0" and "dhcpd -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf at0" [17:25] how can i tell if i've been hacked? all the files and folders on my desktop dissapeared, which is really upsetting because some of the files are my house plans (.dwg) and photos of my child! is there anyway to recover the files. what could have caused this? [17:25] itwasme: the first defines a pid file, the second doesnt. [17:26] this cannot possibly be a bug can it/ [17:26] ? [17:26] chillibite : for starters you can probably rule out being hacked :) [17:26] chillibite: What did you do besides suspecting you've got hacked? [17:26] and what is the pid file if you may [17:27] bekks: nothing except running some emacs lisp code (it was just for editing text files and not on my desktop) [17:27] itwasme: a file containg the process id of the running process. [17:28] they are not in your desktop folder in you file manager by chance and just not showing up are they? are any other files mising from various home folders? [17:29] Sepix: files are missing from the Downloads folder and Desktop - not showing up ls -a in the shell or in the file manager [17:29] http://imgur.com/xljSo9A My Laptop is showing an additional "Unknown Display" .... why? Is it because of the NVIDIA GPU that my laptop has? === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi [17:30] ALL folders and files in Downloads and Desktop, it's only Desktop that's bothering me, in downloads it was just textbooks that i've already printed [17:30] im trying to boot ubuntu from a usb using unetbootin. I've got unetbootin downloaded on the usb im kind of lost as to what to do next. [17:30] this is so bizarre, i'm sure someone hacked me and deleted my files [17:30] A1Recon: probably. it's not doing any harm though right? [17:31] chillibite and you are of course in the correct username etc i will assume. not in a trash folder ? (these would all make it easy) [17:31] the computer im trying to run it on is a windows xp [17:31] chillibite those were 2 seperate questions [17:31] loonix103, you need to INSTALL unetbootin on your computer, then use to copy the ISO to your USB and make it bootable [17:32] chillibite, highly unlikely [17:32] ok let me check the usb and see if i have an ISO on it [17:32] not intended to sound rude chillibite --them being removed just sounds highly unlikely to be a bug even for ubuntu [17:32] nothing in trash, and i am logged in [17:33] loonix103, download the ubuntu iso from ubuntu.com [17:33] Hey daftykins!! Well its not showing any problem...because I disabled it. But during the login screen ....my mouse can go way to the right... And I am like "where did this go??" [17:33] with my user - the only user [17:33] A1Recon: haha [17:33] A1Recon: /var/log/Xorg.0.log could show some hints [17:34] Hello [17:34] ok [17:34] hello janusz [17:34] jesus - i might have messed up one of my shell or elisp scripts and done something unintentional [17:35] Will the be celebration for release of 14.04?

I'll set my own event :) [17:36] wow hard to believe i start using ubuntu at 6.04 ... hadnt known then it was only 2 years old [17:37] well thanks anyway but i still have no idea what happened here [17:38] does unetbootin not download an ISO though? [17:38] no [17:38] theres no need to backup /dev and /proc, right [17:38] unetbootin should only allow you to mount an iso on a thumb drive [17:38] loonix103, it can, but t can also use a local iso [17:38] hi all, my ubuntu saucy suddendly stopped seeing any usb drive I put in it. Nothing in dmesg, nor in lsusb or lsblk. [17:39] i think i did cause my usb has a folder called isolinux [17:40] isnt that just a boot loader? [17:40] loonix103, if it doesn't say UBUNTU then it's not an ubuntu ISO... [17:40] arcimboldo_: laptop? [17:40] ok [17:41] cfhowlett: help mine says archlinux o_O what do i do? [17:41] :) [17:41] Sepix, not following your thread - state your intentions [17:41] that's a bad Sepix [17:43] Hey guys. I'm having an issue with a drive not mounting before other programs that depend on it loading. I've put an entry in fstab to automount, but apparently that's not enough. [17:44] Hi can i run another ubuntu os using virualbox ?? with only 512 of ram ?? [17:44] nicey I dont see why not [17:44] 512MB isn't even enough to run a good host OS [17:44] nicey, nope. [17:44] daftykins: its the min requirement :-) [17:44] it'll swap like a fiend [17:44] Nicey: i'd use LXDE and you'll use a lot fewer resources [17:45] LeartS earlier problem with wkhtml2pdf - caused by program being kepf in memory - resolved by reboot. I can only think because I ran it once before adding Xvfb it got saved in memory - thanks - signing off now [17:45] nicey i would even suggest after install editing you xinit and using a light weight window manager instead of a full DE if you want to get the most out of the vm [17:46] nicey, you can probably run server without too many problems ... [17:46] haha, it's still not going to help [17:46] just let that system die, perhaps bury it in your garden [17:47] can i run ubuntu as live from usb in virtualbox ?? [17:47] nicey: No. === Senix is now known as Guest85099 [17:48] nicey: vbox doesnt support booting from USB. And having 512M RAM for host AND guest is far too less RAM. [17:48] nicey: You can install Ubuntu in virtualbox from a live usb [17:48] nicey oh a 512mb host... thoought you meant just the vm [17:48] Anyone know where Valve/Steam games dump their logs? Trying to troubleshoot a game crash [17:48] Oh, but not with that little memory [17:49] DJones: With the workaround of creating a raw vmdk only, since vbox doesnt support booting from USB natively. [17:50] love it when someone asks a question then quits [17:50] nicey : install dos 6.00 and use dosshell :) your machine will be fast [17:51] I can't get google chrome to install. [17:51] thom_: Why not? [17:51] im still confused where to get the ubuntu iso im on the site and they are telling me to use universal usb installer the select the iso, but it didnt tell me where to download the iso [17:52] "The installation or removal of a software package failed" [17:52] that is the error I get [17:52] loonix103, download the ubuntu ISO. do NOT download the installer [17:52] loonix just download the desktop iso and mount that on the usb stick [17:52] ı have trouble with my comp voice help === HoJu is now known as andoo [17:52] thom_: When doing what...? [17:53] Sepix ,mount that on the usb stick ? [17:53] loonix103, how much ram? [17:53] bekks, I downloaded the .deb file from Google's website. Double click on it and it will open the software center. I've tried multiple times with the same results every time. [17:54] i have trouble with my comp voice [17:54] thom_: Which deb exactly? [17:54] thom_: And which ubuntu exactly are you on? [17:54] k ive found the iso [17:54] heeeeeey [17:54] Okay, now I have an honest question.

[17:59] After a few upgrades, my ubuntu saucy doesn't *see* any usb disk anymore. dmesg is silent, lsusb, lshw and lsblk do not show the device. [17:59] maujhsn: Either unzip or tar?

[18:02] maujhsn: "rm" [18:02] maujhsn, ^^^^ carefully [18:02] maujhsn: there is no "reverse command" of "unpack that specific archive" besides "remove the unpackes files manually".

JavaFX is not part of the default Java distribution. [18:12] what is "default java distribution" [18:12] ? === Mohi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi [18:12] !java [18:12] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

Add a new shortcut in "custom shortcuts" [18:18] ActionParsnip, I'm looking for something quick and easy, only requirement is to be able to capture part of the desktop [18:18] it will ask if you want to replace the current one [18:19] (I mean, if you want to reassign the chosen shortcut from terminal to your command) [18:19] Vmusr: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/simplescreenrecorder-powerful-screen.html [18:20] ok let me try, i will come back [18:20] ActionParsnip, 10x [18:20] I am downloading VirtualBox , what's the command to install it after it finish ?? [18:21] nicey virtual box is in the ubuntu repos, so you should be able to just download and install it at the same time from the ubuntu package manager [18:21] nicey: Thats described in the installation section of the virtualbox manual. :) [18:22] Nicey: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose ,you don't need to manually download anything. [18:23] but i need to choose i386 [18:23] nicey: And? [18:24] Nicey: you can run a 32bit guest in the 64bit virtualbox.... [18:24] nicey: i don't see your point.... [18:24] I have a very strange problem: my ubuntu doesn't recognize any usb disk anymore. It used to work until a few days ago, and disks are fine. [18:24] i got E: Unable to locate package virtualbox-ose [18:24] bekks: Is there a separate package for javafx? [18:25] Wolf480pl: yes. === xubuntu is now known as Guest48923 [18:25] where?

[18:27] Nicey: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [18:27] ActionParsnip, I only see /dev/sda which is my internal disk [18:27] arcimboldo: have you tried different USB ports? [18:27] Wolf480pl: Oracle Java is the reference implementation. Either you go with that, or you find some JavaFX implementation for OpenJDK. [18:28] ActionParsnip, yes, and if I reboot in macosx both ports work [18:28] bekks: so reference impl. of JDK7 is OpenJDK, but reference impl. of JavaFX is Oracle JDK? [18:28] I also tried to reboot with a previous kernel, nothing happen. === Havenstance_ is now known as Havenstance [18:28] it's a mac, btw. [18:28] Done , do i need to install some additional stuff after installing vbox in order to work ? [18:29] Wolf480pl: Yes. Because JavaFX is developed by Oracle, for Oracle Java.

[18:30] nicey, if vbox doesnt work try boxes === Guitarman_ is now known as de_kf4mgh [18:31] nicey, vbox is horrible, and if you dont like boxes, try vmware player [18:31] vbox works perfectly, while vmware palyer has to be patched to get it installed on Ubuntu. [18:31] what do you mean by horrible ?? [18:31] vbox may work on Ubuntu, but it has massive issues with Windows [18:32] it wont run cad [18:32] like alias autodesk cad, it wont work with wacom tablets [18:32] maya ... forget running maya [18:32] if you have any real work to do, vbox is really really annoying [18:33] I swear its like the blind leading the blind... *walks off* [18:33] Yeah, that was really "a blind leading...".

Works great. But, when I log out and log back in, ssh-agent isn't running, and the key needs to be re-added. Any ideas on how to make this permanent? === makije is now known as makije|away [19:09] bekks: Where do I find which one is active? It looks like it loaded in both 'ati' and 'radeon', and then tried to find fglrx - and failed because it's not installed. [19:10] EndymionM: Xorg.0.log is active. [19:10] No, I mean... how can I tell which it picked to use out of 'ati' and 'radeon'? [19:10] Beldar: your right, its the libglew-dev package methinks [19:11] EndymionM: There is no "ati" driver. The drivers for ATI are called "radeon" and "fglxr". Since the latter doesnt support your hardware, the first one is loaded. [19:13] bekks: Okay, so, then, why does the GUI show that the driver is unknown, and how do I make sure it's set properly? [19:14] bekks: hm perhaps not, i dont see a .so [19:14] EndymionM: As long as you can see something, it is setup correctly. And "unkown" refers to the fact, that "radeon" is not a closed source binary driver, but an opensource one. === whitenite`afk is now known as whitenite [19:16] thanks for the help, guys; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082989&p=12349332#post12349332 helped me, though [19:16] bekks Sorry to trouble you again! On a new liveUSB ubuntu is the default host & owner. How do I grant myself either ownership permission, or full administrive permissions to do what ever I want? [19:16] pvl1, Nothing like package and name changes to make it fun eh. ;) [19:16] bekks: Okay... so the slowdown in OpenTTD is because Ubuntu is simply inferior to WinXP, then? [19:17] maujhsn: On a liveusb, you are logged in as "ubuntu". So you dont have to touch permissions. [19:17] bekks: I mean, I hate to put so fine a point on it, but... same hardware. Different OS. One runs beautifully, one... doesn't. Why? [19:17] EndymionM: No. It is because your graphics hardware belongs to the National Museum of Ancient Technologies, in fact. [19:18] bekks: Again, how come it runs, again, perfectly and without this slowing, on the same hardware, on another OS? [19:18] how do i install ubuntu on hp running windows 8 run wubi & keeps saying im uninstalling it [19:18] EndymionM, Getting beyond thinking in dichotomies is in the cognitive development scale. ;) [19:19] locodir-user, wubi is not going to work on win8 [19:19] EndymionM: Thank ATI that they do not ship drivers for old hardware on linux. And XP is out of question, it is going to be EOL very very soon. [19:19] how then [19:19] !uefi| locodir-user install side-by-side, you may need this manual [19:19] locodir-user install side-by-side, you may need this manual: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [19:20] locodir-user, except if your HP is an 32 bit CPU, then the answer is no, not possible to run linux on 32 bit cpu/uefi/win8 [19:20] bekks: As long as it still functions, I don't care about the age. And by no means is the functional OS out of the question. [19:21] Beldar: Pretty hard not to see a dichotomy between working | not working. [19:21] EndymionM: By all means it is, as long as it isnt Ubuntu, which is the only OS supported in here.l [19:21] bekks So far this true! I have also noticed that you don't even need a password! But how does anyone protect themselves from the evil outside world? === Tech_Talk is now known as Birdman3131 [19:21] EndymionM, Really, well best of luck. [19:21] maujhsn: By the fact that a live cd isnt writeable, and isnt designed to be used for daily, productive work. [19:22] bekks: Okay... are there other graphics modules whose settings might be affecting this? I know that on both systems it runs on SDL - could that be an issue? [19:22] EndymionM: No, there arent. [19:22] bekks My liveUSB is writeable and I do have persistence! [19:23] How do boot to terminal... I messed up my gui [19:23] by editing a css [19:23] maujhsn: Thats a persistent USB then, not a LiveUSB. [19:23] does using the option of installing Ubuntu 'alongside' Win7 create a new partition for Ubuntu using free space on the Win7 partition? [19:23] bkfitz, How far does it boot now, can you get a TTY? [19:24] Ok..so how do I go about protecting my investment! [19:24] ? It just goes to a black screen with mouse [19:24] Hi. I am having trouble preventing line-in playing back through line-out on my SBLive card. I have muted the AC97 channel, which ISTR has something to do with it [19:24] Running gnome shell but that shouldn't matter [19:24] bkfitz, what is "css" [19:25] bekks, Ok..so how do I go about protecting my investment from backdoor hackers! [19:25] maujhsn: By stopping to shout all the time. [19:25] There is a gnomeshell Chas that I edited, must have screwed it up just need to edit it with vi [19:25] maujhsn: And which "inveestment" do you refer to? [19:25] css [19:26] to fix the typo [19:26] !nomodeset | bkfitz try this [19:26] bkfitz try this: 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.

[19:27] Isn't there a key to make it boot to terminal instead of booting x [19:28] Just need to edit that file [19:28] yes [19:28] emrah, you don't want systemsounds mixing with recordings [19:28] bkfitz: Get into the grub menu, boot into recovery mode. [19:28] emrah, so it is a feature [19:28] How could I rotate my bash history of users on my system ? Is is possible to do with logrotate ? [19:28] bekks Sorry don't mean to shout! [19:28] maujhsn: You just shouted again. Stop it. One more time, and I will not answer you again. [19:29] bkfitz, You can chroot or modify the kernel or, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [19:29] my problem is that when i run any of this pro. sound completely dies [19:29] hi all. got a weird issue. I'm try to install 12.04.4 on a pair of 4TB disks in raid1. I'm in the paritioner in the installer and when I try to create a primary partition 'physical valume for RAID', I can't mark it bootable.... [19:29] when i open any music there is no sound [19:30] syadnom: you have to create a bootable partition (on each disk), and a RAID partition. [19:30] bkfitz, See if at that post boot cursor black screen if ctrl-alt-f1 brings up a working TTY as well. [19:30] bekks, a non-raid? [19:31] emrah, Are you using jackd & pulseaudio? [19:31] both browser has aw snap and crashes... is it malware in ubuntu ? [19:31] syadnom: Yes. [19:31] bekks, so partition1 /boot as ext3 bootable....but what about if that disk fails? I was sure I had setup a raid1 for /boot before from the installer [19:31] dont know tthat [19:31] bkfitz, If you tap esc on the boot you will see text. [19:32] emrah I've had an issue where alsa-mixer somehow muted itself. Is yours showing mute [19:32] syadnom: After setting up your system, you mirror those partitions too ;) [19:32] Ok into recovery editing the file need find in vi [19:32] bekks, did this change? I'm seeing guides that say doing exactly what I'm trying to do from the installer [19:33] maybe but sometimes ive had this trouble although i dont run this pros i think its about os [19:34] bkfitz, Cool, if you need my help, type part of my nick and complete with the tab key, that informs me of your post. [19:35] emrah, Assuming you are only using one sound card, you can route pulseaudio through JACK and rewire things in patchage so that system sounds bypass your recording program [19:35] ceekryt which os are you using [19:36] emrah what's the output of /etc/issue [19:37] ceekryt what's the output of /etc/issue [19:37] im on it [19:37] note here https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html number 8 says to mark the raid volume bootable [19:37] ceekryt what's the output of cat /etc/issue (pfoo, i made it) [19:37] emrah - I'm currently on DreamStudio. I had an issue with alsa on an ubuntu 12.10 box in the past. [19:37] Ok now vi says cant open file for editing in recovery [19:38] even :x! Doesnt save [19:38] found the typo though [19:38] ceekryt i run ubuntu studio what should i do [19:40] emrah: Do you know what audio suite you are running? (pulseaudio, jackd, alsa?) If you are running alsa you should be able to type alsamixer from the command line. [19:40] bekks, so, looks like a known bug in the debian installer :/ [19:41] To upload to a PPA, rather than using "dput" can I just scp the ".dsc, .changes, .tar.gz" and ".deb" files to ~//ubuntu/ [19:41] i dont know how to look at that [19:42] emrah: Can you get to a command line window? [19:42] yes [19:43] <__raven> hi [19:43] emrah: type alsa (and then tab for autocomplete. Hopefully alsamixer is there) [19:44] So why cant I edit this css file when in recovery terminal [19:44] its in usr share gnome shell theme [19:44] and I'm root [19:44] yep i find that whats next [19:45] emrah: If it is, select the line you want and hit key to unmute [19:45] emrah: This should bring your sound back [19:45] bkfitz, Did you read this on the mounting? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode === Armat_ is now known as Armat [19:46] emrah: I'm not familiar with Ubuntu studio so I don't know if the program you were trying to run had a conflict and is causing the issue but hopefully it gets your sound back.

[20:01] more details in other words [20:03] Beldar: USB boot, try without installing, ubiquity --debug, hdd is partitioned with 4 primaries, network is cat5, no error output on syslog [20:03] how do i fix alsamixer... [20:03] my volume control is whack [20:03] sim_, If this is a msdos 4 primaries is the limit. [20:03] i was thinking of just getting some other kind of audio application [20:04] Beldar: I know, these are for the planned installtion. [20:05] nitero in a terminal, type alsamixer if you see MM, go there and press m [20:05] sim_, Not sure what this is, "try without installing, ubiquity --debug" and why [20:06] sim_, So a manual install I assume? from made in the installer, mount is / [20:06] Beldar: try without installing = live option at boot menu, ubiquity --debug = trying to get an error log, been reading: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701 [20:06] Launchpad bug 1080701 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Raring) "After 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' screen, raring installation hangs" [Critical,Fix released] [20:07] sim_, I would just do a net install with a mini. [20:08] MonkeyDust, i appreciate the help, thanks. terminal brings up "alsamixer v1.0.27.1" but i don't know what you mean by MM and pressing m doesn't have any effect [20:08] Beldar: okay, will try that. what do you know about this bug though? [20:10] sim_, Nothing here I have not ran into it myself. I see fixes, not sure why you are having this issue, could be a sum problem showing here. [20:12] Beldar: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload [20:13] Beldar: have 2 laptops with failed install due to this issue, 3rd laptop worked, desktop computer worked ... it's persistant too! [20:15] nitero: see my above command [20:15] Beldar: Some say it's a partman issue or "unclean partitioning", others the slide show on the install screen [20:16] Would you recommend installing Ubuntu alongside my Windows or making a partition exclusively for the Ubuntu? [20:16] Pros/Cons? [20:17] ActionParsnip, it just said please inform the person helping you [20:17] AfraidToShootStr: both options you just stated are the same to me === osbinas is now known as osbin === carlos is now known as Guest19800 === osbin is now known as osbinAs [20:19] ActionParsnip, ah it won't let me copy the output either [20:19] hey [20:19] daftykins: Check step 4 http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-desktop-latest [20:19] why does msmtp depend on postfix in Ubuntu ? [20:19] this makes absolutely NO sense [20:19] what's the deal here ? [20:19] anyone ? [20:19] hello ? [20:20] nobody, great [20:20] this is great [20:20] !enter | average [20:20] average: got patience....? [20:20] average: Please be patient and do not use enter as a punctuation sign. [20:20] AfraidToShootStr, the 2nd option will obviously delete windows, so you are only referring to the 1st option [20:20] average: are there any bugs reported? [20:20] average: not replied ywt === s0meone is now known as someone [20:20] average: this is great [20:20] ActionParsnip: tell me where to report the bug, and I'll do that right away [20:20] ActionParsnip: launchpad ? [20:21] average: yes [20:21] ok great(!) I'll do that now [20:21] kostkon: The 3rd option is to create a partition of my HDD allocate solely for the Ubuntu. The first alternativ is to "blend" Ubutun and Win7. Which option would you recommend? Any pros/cons? [20:21] AfraidToShootStr, no. it's the same [20:22] ActionParsnip, when i click to highlight the text it just goes back to regular terminal [20:22] Nitero: copy the whole command as one, it will make a URL which you can paste in here [20:23] AfraidToShootStr: i suggest you dont use Wubi. Its awful. Resize your NTFS and install to the free space [20:23] ActionParsnip, i used select all from the menu and then copied... i'll just put it in pastebin (i don't know what you mean by "copy the whole command as one" and never saw a URL for the output...) [20:24] ActionParsnip: You mean I reserve some part of my HDD and install Ubuntu on that? [20:24] kostkon: kostkon: Having Ubuntu running alongside Win7 on my, say, 100 GB HDD is different from running Win7 on a 50 GB partition and Ubuntu on another 50 GB partition of the same HDD, right? [20:24] nitero: ok put it in pastebin :-) [20:24] AfraidToShootStr, actually, the only difference being that the 1st option will create the partitions for you, you won't need to do it manually [20:24] AfraidToShootStr: yeah alongside = partition [20:24] kostkon: Oh really? Ok I thought it was going to let Windows and Ubuntu live together in the same, say, 100 GB of spaces. [20:24] space* [20:25] ActionParsnip, i see the URL now... http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c0a8cee769dbf5a7c8188a3c631df3a75f0bc184 [20:25] nitero: perfect [20:25] how can I make money using ubuntu? [20:25] AfraidToShootStr, what you are referring to is called wubi and it's not part of the installer === osbinAs is now known as OsBinAs [20:25] kostkon: Ok, I was not aware of that. Thank you, I'll read up on it [20:25] how do people make money using ubuntu? [20:25] awlkdjla, think creatively [20:25] my friend told me he made 10,000 last month using ubuntu [20:26] awlkdjla, and hard work [20:26] awlkdjla, ask your friend and tell me =) [20:26] nitero: does the system have a make and model? [20:26] ActionParsnip, it's xubuntu 13 for armhf [20:26] CAn I sell ubuntu to people? [20:26] ActionParsnip, on an odroid u3 [20:26] awlkdjla: yes absolutely [20:27] Can I promise them that they can make money using ubuntu? [20:27] awlkdjla, yes [20:27] awlkdjla, you can try [20:27] you can promise a lot :) [20:27] you can promise that ubuntu will help your virility [20:27] Ok but what if Ubuntu is offered with a magazine can I do that? [20:27] awlkdjla, by charging for instlalation and support for example [20:27] ActionParsnip, ah, is there a terminal command to find out all that info [20:28] ActionParsnip, or is that enough [20:28] I say you buy my magazine and you get ubuntu [20:28] Nitero: are you wanting to use HDMI audio? [20:28] and there is a DVD with ubuntu in it [20:28] ActionParsnip, hdmi audio doesn't work [20:28] awlkdjla: yes there is a DVD ISO [20:28] ActionParsnip, so i use regular computer speakers for the audio [20:29] can I use ubuntu to hack into other computers for educational purposes? [20:29] ActionParsnip: it was mutt(not msmtp) . I reported the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutt/+bug/1296389 [20:29] Launchpad bug 1296389 in mutt (Ubuntu) "mutt depends on default-mta(provided by postfix)" [Undecided,New] [20:29] or does the license not allow it? [20:30] chey can someone have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutt/+bug/1296389 please ? [20:30] awlkdjla: No license in this world allows "hacking". [20:30] awlkdjla, what answer do you like? [20:30] awlkdjla how legal is what you want to do? [20:30] bekks what is the command to hack into another computer? [20:30] average: the devs will check it over in time. Bug reports are not replied to in real time. You have zero patience. Its really quite comical. [20:31] ActionParsnip: nobody has patience [20:31] this is 21st century [20:31] MonkeyDust I am just testing my laptop ubuntu from my workstation [20:31] I am appreciative if the devs look at it [20:31] awlkdjla: the license says the software is free. You can sell ubuntu as you wish but few will as it is free [20:31] ActionParsnip: ofc I don't expect this to be real-time [20:31] average: i do, most people do. [20:32] awlkdjla what do you mean by "hack"? [20:32] how can I work for ubuntu? [20:32] average: if you dont expect it to be realtime why post the link in here [20:32] ok you're right [20:32] I just wanted to advertise the bug [20:32] so people know about it [20:32] awlkdjla, you can pay ubuntu to work for us. [20:32] average: it doesn't depend, only recommends, you don't have to install it, --no-install-recommends [20:32] average: yes the bug report lets people know about it [20:32] average: So, couple of things. It doesn't depend on postfix, it depends on a virtual package (actually, two of them), so if you want something else, have at it. Second, it's a recommends anyway. [20:32] ActionParsnip, ok i'm going to go eat some food, i'll bbs [20:33] awlkdjla: there is a job section on the ubuntu site like any company site [20:33] Flannel: well, in debian there's really no (in)direct dependency on postfix [20:33] nitero: could try the latest mainline kernel. May help but its good to test [20:33] Flannel: and I really don't see why ubuntu should have this dependency [20:33] Flannel: what do you suggest as an alternative ? [20:34] average: if it is deemed superfluous it will be changed [20:34] average: Ubuntu has decided that it's default mta is postfix. You're free to install something else if you'd like, but if you have no preference, then postfix will be installed. [20:34] trism: well now, do you expect people to type --no-install-pfff for each package they install ? [20:34] average: Any one of these: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/mail-transport-agent [20:34] Flannel: thank you [20:34] Flannel: I would like to suggest msmtp-mta [20:34] I think it's a very robust and flexible mta [20:35] average: and actualy, debian does *exactly* this same thing. Their default-mta is exim4-daemon-light and not postfix, but other than that, these are exactly the same situation. [20:35] average: no, only for the packages where you don't want recommends [20:35] hy === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [20:36] Flannel: well, be things as they may, postfix is quite an insanely heavy-weight dependency by default and I really think it's unreasonable === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [20:37] average: It's only 4x the size of exim4-daemon-light, so I'm not sure that's worth arguing over. [20:38] this is a typical case of http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/debian_main.png [20:38] but really in that comic, debian, should be replaced with ubuntu [20:38] anyway, that's my oppinion [20:39] average: again, it's not a dependency at all, it's recommende, so *all* MTAs could be skipped. Even if you choose not to, you can pick any MTA not just postfix, to satisfy the recommends. [20:39] Flannel: if I read e-mail on my laptop with mutt, would I want to install postfix ? no, I would not. That is my point [20:39] average: the point is, postfix is not a dependency, but a recommend. === Donskoy is now known as Mameluco [20:40] average: If you're just reading email, you wouldn't want any MTA, so don't install any MTA. [20:40] bekks: yes, but as I said above, --no-install-recommends is a good option, but how many people write that whenever they install a package? not many(I know I don't) [20:40] average: By default, no recommends are installed. [20:40] bekks: No, that's not true. [20:41] Flannel: you are very pedantic, of course I also need to send e-mail. but would I need postfix to do that ? I do not think so [20:41] Flannel: Since when? [20:41] bekks: A few years ago, big discussion about recommends by default [20:41] hello [20:41] let's have another discussion now about recommends by default [20:41] I can have it right now [20:41] lmms dont work [20:41] like right now [20:41] average: you need a MUA to send email using the MTA your mutt uses. Not a locally installed MTA. [20:41] average, bekks, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, it's not on topic for this channel. [20:42] Flannel: agreed. [20:42] I'm running trusty, and since today (or perhaps since some days ago, I don't reboot often), after rebooting, I get lightdm, but when I login I get an empty screen [20:42] ok let's go in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:42] compiz or unity won't start.. [20:42] does anyone have a similar problem or know if there is a new bug (and how to work around it?) [20:42] t1mp trusty support in ubuntu+1 [20:43] emrah: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue ,and what is the issue with LMMS? 'don't work' tells us nothing.... [20:43] MonkeyDust: what do you mean? [20:43] T1mp: trusty is only supported in #ubuntu+1 til support day [20:43] t1mp i mean, type /join #ubuntu+1 and ask there [20:44] MonkeyDust, ActionParsnip ah thanks. I didn't realize that ubuntu+1 was a channel name. [20:44] generally freezes and no sound [20:44] emrah: and the output of: cat /etc/issue [20:46] terminated unexpectedly [20:46] emrah: did you run it in a terminal? [20:47] emrah, lmms you mean [20:47] yes [20:47] emrah: there is a space between 'cat' and '/etc/issue' [20:48] what's the matter if my distro is not being supported anymore?. [20:48] what is it i dont understand that technicals [20:48] what would be the risk? [20:48] !eolupgrade | dako_ug_bisong [20:48] dako_ug_bisong: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[20:50] emrah: copy the command I gave an press CTRL+ALT+T and paste the command to the terminal. Press ENTER and copy the output. Paste in the channel [20:50] dako_ug_bisong: It also gets harder to get a clean upgrade as it gets older, and problems with upgrades are not supported. [20:50] emrah: nothing technical at all, copying and pasting text is hardly technical [20:50] what about the browser like firefox,it can't update the latest one?\ [20:50] dako_ug_bisong, nope [20:51] i wanna die at all [20:51] dako_ug_bisong: you wont get updates from the repos. They wil be turnd off. You may be able to download it from the Mozilla website but you probably wont satisfy deps and it wont run [20:51] emrah: if you can get the output of the command, we can proceed [20:52] dako_ug_bisong in short: upgrade to a supported release [20:52] cisconinja: thx for reporting back, glad you got the ssh issue fixed [20:53] dako_ug_bisong: if you clean install Trusty you will get LTS up to April 2019 [20:53] if i upgrade to latest distro,how can that affect my 10yr old machine?..run slow?..

[21:00] MonkeyDust: funny how it lists Unity as a DE [21:01] ActionParsnip guess it simply stresses appearances [21:01] how can i shorten the time it takes for a http request to timeout ? like i make a request if i dont get a response within 3 second shut the request down [21:02] Netameta: in what application?

[21:19] helo [21:19] Rubas, depends on the free space in your dropbox, but basicly you can, [21:19] Rubas: sure, you can make a symlink in your dropbox folder to /var/www and it will be sync'd [21:19] OerHeks can you read me? [21:19] techie123 it works, we see you [21:20] OerHeks, ActionParsnip: would it be clever? [21:20] Idk what to ask [21:20] Rubas: ActionParsnip and OerHeks got it :-) [21:20] terrific thanks. [21:20] Rubas: Most likely, no. [21:20] Rubas: sure, why would it not? [21:20] Rubas: if you have the dpace on dropbox, why not... [21:20] I am using xchat on the linux environment but would accept advise from others with better irc clients [21:20] Rubas: It can be. Dropbox is a great way to back stuff up and keep it synced on a bunch of computers [21:21] techie123: there is no better, or best. There is just what you like.. [21:21] Rubas: Having files in those directories containing personal data like passwords, etc. - you might dont want to put them on dropbox [21:21] ActionParsnip you make a lot of sense! [21:21] techie123: if you like xchat, use it [21:22] techie123: I personally kinda like Pidgin myself. [21:22] Just recently installed foresight linux and I am still learning the ropes with this. [21:22] Hello, Is there a simple way to disable the guest account,or put a time limit on it? [21:22] techie123 "best" simply depends on what you prefer [21:22] bekks: thanks, :) [21:22] thanks for all the answers, I think I'll stick to git :) [21:22] sydney: do you mean a time limit on the time it can be logged in? [21:22] Very true . Is there anybody in here familiar or using foresight Linux or is this mostly ubuntu [21:23] Thanks to, OerHeks, ActionParsnip, celroc, bekks :) [21:23] or is foresight linux part of ubuntu? [21:23] sydney http://www.howtogeek.com/117994/how-to-disable-ubuntus-guest-session-account/ [21:23] techie123: this is ubuntu only support. Other distros will have their own support chanels [21:23] which is the most stable Ubuntu to install on a virtual such as Vmware using a mac? [21:24] Any thoughts would be appreciated [21:24] techie123 9 people in #foresight [21:24] techie123: If you ask like that: 12.04 [21:24] quien habla español... ?? [21:24] scusate sono italiano [21:24] !it | jackalls [21:24] !es | jackalls [21:24] jackalls: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:24] jackalls: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:24] terzaopht I will try... dime [21:24] grazie [21:24] ActionParsnip, what do you mean by mainline kernel? [21:24] ubuttu anche lo parlo que bisogno? [21:25] techie [21:25] ??? [21:25] ActionParsnip: Yes!! [21:25] que necesitas terazopht? [21:25] techie123: This channel is english only. :) [21:25] ahh ok.. ok... [21:25] Nitero: its a kernel from outside the offiicial repos and not supported here but may get things working [21:26] I know bekks but someone is asking for help in Spanish so I am trying to find out what he needs [21:26] a channel in spanish ??? [21:26] techie123: And those people already fgot told where to get help in their native language :) [21:26] techie123: Do you mean which Ubuntu Release (like 13.04, 13.10, et cetera), or which Desktop environment (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, et cetera)?

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:26] :) [21:26] ok [21:26] I got you bekks, I will tell him again privately [21:27] sydney: you could make a script that runs when the guest account logs in and run: sleep 600; killall -u $USER [21:27] techie123: you dont have to, he already knows where to get help. :) [21:27] ActionParsnip, i don't know if my hardware supports it? i'm on an odroid u3 armhf mini computer [21:27] got it. understood bekks [21:27] sydney: will give 10mins then kill all the processes owned by guest and log it out [21:28] So back to my question. Which is a stable Ubuntu to install with Vmware on a mac? [21:28] ActionParsnip: Never mind, I can already see that it is not as simple as windows,but thats fine. [21:28] techie123: any [21:28] !lts | techie123 [21:28] techie123: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [21:28] nitero: what is the output of: uname -a [21:28] ActionParsnip, i just wanted to express that concern to you, i don't know if it is or not, if you think it is or still think it'd be likely to help just let me know =) [21:28] techie123: Do you mean which release (13.04, 13.10, e t cetera) or do you mean the Desktop Environment (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, et cetera)? [21:29] ikonia, I know I had used the 12. something and had sound issues.... I also believe there is the 13.10 any comments [21:29] celroc: 13.04 is EOL already. [21:29] sydney: there are apps for it too, ivd just do it that way [21:29] yes celroc [21:29] bekks: Oh. Thanks, sorry, was just trying to give an example. [21:29] techie123: there should be no problem with any - as virtual platform is just virtual hardware [21:29] ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help! [21:29] it must be I tried the desktop version before [21:29] ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c0a8cee769dbf5a7c8188a3c631df3a75f0bc184 [21:29] merhaba arkadaşlar bana kim yardımcı olabilir [21:30] ActionParsnip, let me try that again [21:30] ActionParsnip, Linux odroid 3.8.13.16 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 11 10:47:21 BRST 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux [21:30] !tr | bgc [21:30] bgc: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [21:30] ikonia which release you using? [21:30] techie123: Generally the LTS release is supposed to be more stable, so basically any Ubuntu of 12.04 might be best... although the newer versions usually are still pretty stable, too, so I think you could also try 13.10 if you want. [21:30] ActionParsnip, and i'll brb 2 mins..... [21:30] techie123: none [21:30] how can go ubuntu-tr [21:30] celroc, ok, that makes sense. [21:31] nitero: yeah its arm, not x86 [21:31] thanks you all. I will try the foresight channel but I have to say this is a great support channel and I appreciate all of your input. [21:31] techie123: As for Desktop Environments, I believe the most stable are rgular Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but I don't know about the others like Lubuntu and Xubuntu. I've had some issues with those on other distros in the past, but its been a while [21:31] I will be back after installing the 13.10 ubuntu [21:31] bgc, type: /join #ubuntu-tr [21:32] so celroc did you prefer the desktop or the regular install [21:32] the desktop install is the "regular" install [21:32] celroc I will figure it out. thanks again. I will be back [21:32] techie123: I usually just use the Desktop one unless I specially need a server [21:33] ActionParsnip, yeah i told you it was [21:33] ubottu, how can i join there [21:33] bgc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] ubottu, i love you [21:33] nitero: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] ubottu, i hate you [21:33] nitero: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:34] !botabuse [21:34] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [21:34] nitero: is there a later arm kernel. Seems to be quite common online.. [21:34] ActionParsnip, i don't really know. this is the latest image for odroid on their site [21:35] bot update required [21:35] ActionParsnip, understand that i don't know much about 'kernel's and whatnot, i wouldn't know if i could try out a kernel without making some kind of custom image and reformatting this sd card i'm using as the hard drive [21:36] clone2 are you a bot? [21:37] AI [21:37] i have a rar file 3 part how can i extract them as a one folder? [21:37] virus in the cloud help me please [21:37] winzip or 7up [21:38] winrar as well [21:38] !info unrar [21:38] unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version) - binary program. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:4.2.4-0.3 (saucy), package size 116 kB, installed size 265 kB [21:39] Bgc: use unp [21:40] nitero: are there any bugs reported? [21:40] no [21:40] ActionParsnip, what is unp? [21:40] !info unp [21:40] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre7+nmu1 (saucy), package size 16 kB, installed size 133 kB [21:41] ActionParsnip, i kinda just want to uninstall also and use like pulse audio or something instead [21:41] ActionParsnip, *alsa [21:41] nitero: pulse uses alsa, you cant use pulse on it's own [21:41] arethere any alternatives to alsa? [21:42] nitero: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*; rm -r ~/.config/pulse* === Left_Turn is now known as Looney_Asylum [21:43] nitero: an alternative is OSS [21:43] ActionParsnip, ah man, how do you know all these complicated commands? [21:43] practice [21:43] testing colors [21:44] how can i use unp [21:44] bgc you mean upnp? [21:45] nitero: ActionParsnip is a fountain of knowledge! [21:45] MonkeyDust, no unp is unpack [21:45] true that =) [21:45] i'm lucky [21:45] ActionParsnip, ah now my keyboard won't change the volume levels. maybe i'll reboot [21:45] ActionParsnip is a bot, please don't think he's intelligent [21:46] ;) [21:46] bgc: Read the man file. [21:46] nitero: reboot more-than-likely will not do anything. What seems to be the problem? [21:48] usr13, the immediate problem is that i did "killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*; rm -r ~/.config/pulse*" on ActionParsnip's advice, and now my keyboard won't change the volume levels... the more long-term problem is my xubuntu native volume control is whack [21:48] usr13:thnx but i dont know english to understand it [21:49] bgc, which is your native language? [21:49] türkçe [21:49] usr13, "whack" meaning, only the first 3 (0-2) volume levels are different from eachother and the other 30 or whatever are the same as volume level 2 ... hopefully that makes a bit of sense [21:49] !turkey bgc [21:49] !tr | bgc [21:49] bgc: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [21:49] yes turkey [21:50] there is no one :( in turkey ubuntu [21:50] bots rule [21:50] bgc: join the channel and ask in your language there [21:51] nitero: I'm late to the conversation and do not know the original problem you guys are trying to solve. Sorry, but I probably don't have much to add at this point. [21:51] clone2: please stop that comments and stick to technical ubuntu support in here please [21:51] yes master [21:51] k1l, there is nobody in turkey ubuntu === mzaza is now known as Guest68133 [21:51] bgc: sure there are [21:52] bgc: sudo apt-get install unp; man unp; man page is very simple: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/unp.htm [21:52] same for you [21:53] qin, thnx i will try [21:53] !man | bgc [21:53] bgc: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in.

I have just set up a vhost on Ubuntu 12.04 [21:55] I added a.htaccess file and .htpasswd to the directory i want to protect [21:55] but i am getting a 505 error [21:55] bgc: you can also utilize google translate function [21:55] http://pastebin.com/nmP89kNF [21:56] i want to protect /var/www/dev_test/public_html [21:57] Guest12234: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html [21:57] Guest12234: Where do you have all of that data? You may also need to change the permissions on the files. [21:58] anybody have any experience with ubuntu/win7 dual boot problems? [21:59] !details | Lex_ [21:59] Lex_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [21:59] rypervenche i didnt set an permission on the directory [21:59] source forage multi boot usb [21:59] I did ask explain the full problem but with no reply :/ [22:00] Lex_ then repeat it and wait until someone enters who can help [22:00] Guest12234: First off, I would place the files in a /home/Directory and symlink to /var/www/MySite (but that's just the way I do things...)(to me, it makes several things simplier...) [22:00] So I tried to dual boot them, choosing to install Ubuntu 'alongside' Win7, but then Win7 wasn't loading after choosing to boot it (just a faded screen) [22:00] I used boot-repair, and now there are two entried for Win7 [22:01] one of them boots into Win7 about 50% of the time, the other does nothing [22:01] usr13 this how i set up the vhost https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts [22:01] Guest12234: Like /home/usr13/public_html/WebSite-1 and /home/usr13/public_html/WebSite-2 etc. [22:03] usr13 do you want to see what my sites-available is doing? [22:03] Guest12234: Ok, well, my method idea is not really relevant to your question, so disregard. [22:03] Guest12234: Sure... [22:03] Show me. [22:04] Gents, trying to install drivers for a canon MX890. it's kind of a pita. Does anyone have experience with this? There are no *nix drivers on the canon site. So I googled and was told to go and grab a .ppd file. There are no .ppd files for canon on my system. [22:04] ... us ... [22:04] lickalott: linuxprinting.org [22:04] usr13 http://pastebin.com/nmP89kNF [22:04] ActionParsnip, so i restarted but it didn't work [22:05] ActionParsnip, maybe i'll try OSS i guess [22:06] Guest12234: You should have the Auth lines inside of your Directory directive, and the password line should be in your .htpasswd file. I would also create it using htpasswd, so that it creates an APR1 hash. [22:06] usr13, it takes me to linuxfoundation.org. Same site? [22:06] why do all these iso's come with x-chat if it hasn't been supported for over a year... [22:06] rypervenche my .htaccess and .htpasswd are in /var/www/example.com/public_html [22:06] lickalott: openprinting.org [22:07] rypervenche and site-avaliable is in /etc/apache2/sites-available [22:07] anybody know why my Win7 isn't booting regularly? [22:07] Guest12234: So move the .htpasswd file outside of the public_html directory for security reasons. Can you paste what is in each of them, so we can tell exactly which file has what? [22:08] and... why does sudo apt-get install hexchat return "no package found" [22:08] lol [22:08] rypervenche http://pastebin.com/nmP89kNF [22:08] Lex_: What is it doing differently? [22:08] lickalott: It may be that you need another printer. [22:08] lickalott: (different printer) [22:09] Guest12234: So the .htaccess file needs to have the Auth lines, or you can put it in your sites-available file, which would be better. The .htpasswd file needs to have the line with "test:password" [22:09] lickalott: (If Cannon does not supply drivers for it, there's not much you can do.) [22:09] celroc: after running boot-repair (as Win7 wasn't booting following the Ubuntu install), there are two entries for Win7, and only one boots into Win7, but only about 50% of the time [22:09] Hi, someone knows why deja-dup doesn't work when I run it from a cron task? If I run it from terminal it works: it creates the backup files in the backup folder [22:10] rypervenche where should i put the auth line un site-avaliable? [22:10] Lex_: How could it be only 50% of the time? (It's my experince that an OS either boots or doesn't.) [22:10] but if I run it from a cron job, deja-dup starts and it appear to make the backup, but after that I check the backup folder and I don't find no new file [22:10] think i got it. I forced an older driver. We'll see if it comes out okay....lol [22:11] usr13: well after not booting, I restart the computer, try again and sometimes it works === carlos is now known as Guest97315 [22:11] Lex_: That's strange. Bootloaders aren't really my area of expertise, but I do have an idea... Let me google to find the right command real quick [22:11] Lex_: That is interesting. [22:11] usr13: it's a new build, and I chose to install Ubuntu 'alongside' Win7. I have the text file that boot-repair created if that helps [22:12] ah nevm, ddg works [22:12] !paste | Lex_ [22:12] Lex_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:12] Lex_: Yes it will help. [22:12] can anyone help me restore /var/log/apache2 (ubuntu server 12.04.4 lts) default group/owner/rwx ? .. I was trying to find something that would let PHP take a read of /var/log/apache2/access.log and it looks like apache cannot write to error.log? It still writes to access.log but it's probably got an open file handle? [22:13] rypervenche did you check out the link? i have auth line in site avaliable and password in .htpasswd [22:13] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7136999/ [22:13] usr13: maybe something to do with UEFI or 'fast boot'? [22:14] Lex_: I was going to recommend running the command to make grub rebuild its menu entries when you boot, but now that I think about it, I guess that might just put us right back where we started. Sorry about that, hopefully someone else has a good solution [22:14] hello [22:14] Lex_: Oh yea, UEFI. You might want to try legacy boot. [22:15] celroc: in general though, would you deem it a better idea to manually install Ubuntu and not choose to install it 'alongside' Win7? [22:15] usr13: are there any disadvantages of a legacy boot compared to a regular one? [22:16] hello [22:16] Lex_, legacy might help on a new machine if you have trouble with uefi locks [22:17] would there be any significant difference between installing it 'alongside' Win7 and installing it manually? [22:17] Lex_: I'm not really sure. I like manual because it lets me customize my partitions and things like that... but since Ubuntu is supposed to be really user-friendly, the "alongside" option should work pretty well [22:17] also, does the 'alongside' option use free space outside of the windows partition, or does it use free space ON the Win7 partition? [22:18] does anyone know how to reamove desktop from ubuntu 13... [22:18] pretty sure 'alongside' lets you customize partitions too [22:18] Lex_: It should use free space outside of the partition, I believe [22:18] nitero: Oh, cool, thanks. I haven't done it in a while, so I wasn't sure. [22:18] basically, do I need to manually create free space or would Ubuntu recognise the free space on the Win7 partition and create its own from there? [22:18] Lex_: line 644 is most interesting [22:18] Lex_, it creates a new partition, using unused space, it doesn't overwrite anything [22:18] mnsiur: remove the ubuntu-desktop package [22:19] k1l: thanks [22:19] Lex_, the latter [22:19] nitero: thanks [22:19] usr13: oh yes? [22:20] K1l: all that will do is remove the metapackage. It doesnt remove the contents. [22:20] mnsiur: if you remove xorg, the GUI apps will fail deps and be marked for removal. [22:20] Lex_, Windows has two partitions sda1 the boot and sda2 C, sda2 has all the boot files needed, however the boot flag is on sda1, grub just see both. run in ubuntu sudo update-grub to make sure sda2 is read again. [22:22] ActionParsnip: iirc the remove of that metapackage will mark the depencies as to uninstall [22:22] Beldar: Looks like sda1 is the UEFI partition. (Only about 1Meg.) [22:22] <`3D> how do I get the edit, file menu etc up [22:22] <`3D> toolbar* [22:22] usr13: sda1 was the only one that did boot Win7 [22:22] <`3D> ubutu 12 [22:22] usr13: sda 2 did nothing (which is what sda1 does half the time) === grimeton_ is now known as grimeton [22:23] usr13, on this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7136999/ [22:24] !details | `3D [22:24] `3D: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

This is the privs for "/var/log/apache2/": drwxr----- 2 root adm 4096 Mar 23 14:58 . AND "access.log" -rw-r----- 1 root adm 531624 Mar 23 15:11 access.log ... After I tried to get access for a PHP script to parse the apache access log (I know..) .. is that default? I can't seem to get Apache to output to error.log even when access.log plainly shows I'm loading a script that I know [22:28] has PHP errors. [22:28] `3D: Patience is a virtue. [22:28] <`3D> wow this is slow [22:28] Beldar: not sure, away from the system in question. how would I know? [22:28] <`3D> the vm has 380mb ram [22:29] `3D: 380M is not much RAM so... [22:29] does anyone know when directx and everyone else going to start to work along with linux distros? i want to be able to game and use it as a standard os [22:29] `3D: Maybe consider a lighter DE? [22:29] <`3D> im just booting off the cd [22:29] Lex_, Did you resize windows with it's partitioner leaving a unallocated for ubuntu, or let the ubuntu installer resize windows? [22:30] `3D: Off the CD? Oh well, that is a horse of a different color. [22:30] <`3D> what do I do? [22:30] Brielle why isnt the .htaccess not running. the website just got straight to public_html without writing example.com directory [22:30] `3D: 380mb is not enough. see the requirements. [22:31] <`3D> omg well somebody said it was [22:31] can i rely on "aptitude versions '~i'" to give me the currently installed version, which can then be pinned? [22:31] `3D: if you want a lighter desktop use Lubuntu (which includes lxde) [22:31] <`3D> does it have copy and paste [22:32] does it show my ip with the username? [22:32] `3D: can you rephrase? [22:32] anyone? does it show my ip here? [22:32] <`3D> does lubuntu have copy and paste [22:32] `3D: of course [22:32] <`3D> you sure? [22:33] <`3D> ive seen one small linux edition that didnt [22:33] i have used lubuntu... it does have copy paste! [22:33] `3D: please get your facts right. you even said 300mb is enougn ram [22:33] Beldar: when installing Windows I made a 200GB free space partition, but wasn't sure choosing the 'alongside' option would install Ubuntu in that free space or free space on the Win7 partition [22:34] <`3D> it has 380 [22:34] <`3D> not 300 [22:34] whats the point of windows? who still uses that? [22:34] `3D: which still is less than the requirements [22:34] Lex_, So you chose alongside right? [22:35] Beldar: correct [22:35] <`3D> can you right click highlighted text in lubuntu [22:35] <`3D> esp in terminal [22:35] Lex_, Have you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu yet? [22:35] `3D: yes [22:35] Beldar: I did after Win7 wasn't booting at all after the Ubuntu installation [22:36] <`3D> ok ubuntu is faster now [22:36] <`3D> how do I get the file browser toolbar to show [22:37] <`3D> I did install mint on a desktop [22:37] <`3D> for around 7 days [22:37] where are the icons used in unity panel?

[23:29] hey all [23:29] ShadowStruck, what was questionel [23:30] ShawnRisk: flash is very hard to support at all. [23:30] k11 it's hard to explain man [23:30] k1l, i have the ppa.launchpad thing for firefox but when i try to install it from the software center, it doesn't work it keeps saying 'use this source' [23:30] hi! [23:30] k1|: How do I watch youtube videos? [23:30] kll flash is hard for ubuntu? [23:30] k11 that's why i just wanted to install OSS and get rid of ALSA / and maybe switch back later... [23:30] use the source luke [23:30] ShawnRisk: sometimes you need to reload the page when the video is just black [23:31] k11 the volume control only has 3 distinct volumes, 0, 1, and 2. Every level after that is the same as 2. [23:31] k1|: that is no solution. [23:31] k11 there are a lot of details. that's why i was just asking about pulse audio and alsa and whatnot [23:31] nixes: no, flash is a bunch of bugs. no matter if running on windows, linux or somewhere else [23:31] Does anyone know how to fix the glitch in ubuntu software center 'use this source' ? [23:32] k1l, ah don't ask for me details if you're not all that interested lol [23:32] sorry - can anyone tell me how to install OSS and disable ALSA? [23:32] k1|: flash is bad but is used everywhere so need to continue support until it is gone [23:32] or ... what is responsible for volume control - Pulse Audio, or ALSA? [23:33] nitero: ok, if you are not satisfied how a volunteer tries to help some more users in here, dont blame him.... just go ahoead breaking your system . good luck [23:34] ShawnRisk: alot of problems are caused by flash itself. not by the browser or the OS. i get some black videos on youutbe from time to time, but a refresh from that page helps in that case. [23:34] k1l, i'm not disatisfied, don't get the wrong idea >> sorry i didn't say it in a non-offensive way for you ^_^ sorry [23:34] k11 ahh okay on arch it works fine so was curious [23:35] k1|: I understand but I am trying to find a solution to the problem not just say okay refresh. [23:35] ShawnRisk, html5 in youtube options, or gnash swf player or chrome [23:35] I love ubuntu but has anyone been able to get any decent battery life out of it for a laptop?
