| glitchd | munz, i think you can just put a dot in front of the name of the folder to make it hidden, then hide or show it with key combination crtl+h | 00:04 |
| munz | mhall119: yes, the server is sharing via samba to windows tho | 00:04 |
| munz | sorry glitchd ment to say that to you | 00:05 |

| nicklas | hello, fresh and updated install on asus ultrabook, with nvidid geforce gt 740m, but cant find the drivers for the card in additional drivers tab. what can i do? | 00:09 |
| OiCory | Quick question, is there a way to make a live USB of the image I am running, so all of my software is on there already? I have battled with making any USB persistant but it really isnt too reliable. | 00:09 |

| OiCory | Beldar, ok, I was just wondering if I could expand an ISO of Ubuntu, preload some libraries (like Irssi, Chromium, Vim, etc) already packaged into it. I understand it is a bit different from a full install, no docs, just some programs already installed. | 00:15 |

| Beldar | !java | Guest46234 pretty straight forward | 01:18 |
| ubottu | Guest46234 pretty straight forward: 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. | 01:18 |

| pfifo | no a clamp is when a range of numbers outside of a given range, gets treated as though if it was the same as the maximum or minimum that the range permitted | 01:39 |

| BassVI_96 | right | 04:11 |
| BassVI_96 | I just can't get my two Second Life viewers to run | 04:11 |
| pvl1 | why not | 04:11 |
| BassVI_96 | when I double click, gedit opens instead | 04:12 |
| BassVI_96 | when I right click, Open with gedit is the Open choice | 04:13 |

| BassVI_96 | where do I do that? | 04:13 |
| Bugbear | i have been fiddling with a problem with my display resolution all day and i've tried everything. im ready to file a bug report on the issue but i dont know what to file the report against. would it be xorg-server and xf86-video-intel ? | 04:13 |
| rww | jaequery: fix your IRC client :( | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | BassVI_96: in a terminal | 04:14 |
| jaequery | why | 04:14 |
| BassVI_96 | kostkon said to right click, and look at permissions. Allow executing file as program is checked in both | 04:14 |
| Bugbear | BassVI_96, right click, choose open with other application and enable the checkmark for "Always use this application" ? | 04:14 |
| rww | jaequery: because it keeps spamming the channels you're in with "Max SendQ exceeded" quit and rejoins | 04:15 |
| pvl1 | BassVI_96: i prefer doing it by hand. because that way i know it works for sure. where did you get this viewer | 04:15 |
| jaequery | oh interesting | 04:15 |
| BassVI_96 | both viewers I downloaded from the web sites for the viewer | 04:15 |
| rww | jaequery: hence someone else forwarding you from some other channel to ##fix_your_connection earlier, which I was about to do but it stopped (for a bit) | 04:16 |
| pvl1 | BassVI_96: what do you see in gedit. the very first line | 04:16 |
| pvl1 | BassVI_96: can you link me to that website | 04:16 |
| BassVI_96 | okay | 04:16 |
| BassVI_96 | this one is for the Singularity viewer, but I'm having the same problem with Firestorm as well | 04:17 |
| BassVI_96 | http://www.singularityviewer.org/ | 04:17 |
| BassVI_96 | and I need to look at that first line like you asked | 04:18 |
| BassVI_96 | first line = #!/bin/bash | 04:18 |
| pvl1 | ok good | 04:18 |
| BassVI_96 | I was using both Firestorm and Singularity viewers just fine, when I was using 12.04, although I couldn't get voice to work in either viewer | 04:19 |
| chamunks | Anyone know what I would use to get output only a section of a text file. | 04:19 |

| pvl1 | BassVI_96: you are double clicking in nautilus right | 04:20 |
| BassVI_96 | not sure what nautilus is | 04:20 |
| BassVI_96 | when I was using the viewers in 12.04, I could double click, a window would come up with launch options, and clicking Run started the program | 04:21 |

| pvl1 | but it sounds to me like permission errors | 04:23 |
| BassVI_96 | I don't even have that option atm | 04:23 |
| pvl1 | BassVI_96: what do you mean | 04:23 |
| BassVI_96 | Run In Terminal was one of the choices, when I'd double click when I was in 12.04 | 04:24 |
| chamunks | pvl1, Trying to just get the users section out of this file http://hastebin.com/mejururupu | 04:24 |

| SonikkuAmerica | Solupus: And? | 04:50 |
| Solupus | 16 GB RAM, 4.5 OCed CPU, 3 TB HDD, 250 GB SSD | 04:50 |
| m00mba | hj2007: good. just trying to narrow down the issue. stupid q but you are connecting with the same user from both windows and ubuntu right? And its a normal user and not root right? | 04:50 |
| Solupus | I was wondering if I switch to Xbuntu would my PC slow down drastically? | 04:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Solupus: If anything I would say it would speed up... | 04:50 |
| SerajewelKS | the nouveau drivers in 13.10 have major issues with gnome 3, which the installer boots into (the desktop is severely distorted, such that windows don't appear where they actually are, and are stretched in weird ways) | 04:50 |
| Solupus | I run Xubuntu under virtualBox to learn and its a bit slow, I already allocated 4096 GB of RAM to it and 2 cores | 04:50 |
| SerajewelKS | is there a way to force the environment the 13.10 cd boots you into to use either the proprietary drivers, or something safe like vesa? | 04:51 |
| Solupus | of course, thats virtualbox, but im just wondering if XFCE would actually speed things up because of the other bloated software not there | 04:51 |
| hj2007 | m00mba: yes it is normal user. but I don't understand how can we talk of same user across different OSes | 04:51 |
| Solupus | SonikkuAmerica, alright. Thanks. I guess live boot is the only way I can be sure | 04:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Solupus: You can always grab a !Live image -- oh, you're ahead of me | 04:51 |
| Solupus | SonikkuAmerica, also; I have 3 monitors do you know of any potential issues I might get from that? | 04:52 |

| Solupus | SonikkuAmerica, no, but I have nvidia geForce which is using 1 hdmi port | 04:53 |
| Solupus | is it an optimus issue or hdmi issue? | 04:53 |
| m00mba | hj2007: The user you are connecting to will be the same on the server side. userA will be the same whether you are connecting from win or ubuntu client to ubuntu server. Unless I am misunderstanding your configuration. | 04:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Solupus: You could run into an issue with either one. | 04:54 |
| hj2007 | m00ba: yes it is same. I didn't get you properly first time. | 04:54 |
| m00mba | hj2007: where I was going is that that the server config can block login. like norootlogin, something like that. | 04:55 |

| hj2007 | m00mba: actually it used to work before, but not now. I have changed my desktop to Cinnamon from Unity. Does that matter? | 05:02 |
| somsip | hj2007: if it's VPN, I don't think I can help. We seem to have discounted ssh server (as win client can connect) and ubuntu ssh client (as can connect to other ssh servers) | 05:03 |
| hj2007 | m00mba: no it is a full Ubuntu install | 05:03 |
| hj2007 | somsip: But I also can't connect to a SQL DB server which is within VPN | 05:03 |

| pi___ | duoi: what you need? | 07:35 |

| kaller | what if you had a laptop, a toshiba qosmio g25-av513 and the original old biosd on it and couldn't get an OS install, installed ubuntu and had to install it to a sata drive on another computer and put it back in the mpc and have been running it but know it's not setup right cuz the install did it on another pc? | 07:37 |
| pi___ | kaller: please, simplify | 07:38 |
| kaller | that is simplified cuz it explains from start to now | 07:39 |
| pi___ | kaller: yousually, for instalation is used install CD, USB | 07:39 |
| g0tcha | kaller, so your asking if ubuntu might cause problems cuz its been installed on a different machine? | 07:39 |
| g0tcha | pi___, apperantly he cant install it directly cuz his bios is damanaged... i think | 07:40 |
| kaller | no, how to install the stuff that it is missing cuz i installed it from another pc | 07:40 |
| pi___ | g0tcha: aha | 07:40 |
| g0tcha | kaller, why dont you try to fix the damaged bios so you can install ubuntu directly on your laptop? | 07:41 |
| kaller | the bios is old and has no real options and uses raid for drives and creates a huge install issue if you try other OS's | 07:41 |
| kaller | intel has no update that i can find to add the custom bios | 07:41 |
| pi___ | kaller: then floppy disk | 07:41 |
| BassVI_96 | have you tried to go to the toshiba web site, to see if there's a bios for that model? | 07:42 |
| kaller | the pc ins';t old enough for floppy and the usb's don't read cuz old bios | 07:42 |
| BassVI_96 | forget what I asked...you already answered...oops | 07:43 |
| pi___ | kaller: then, you can try to remove disk and try to install somewhere else | 07:43 |
| kaller | there is an update but only disk and whatever....no matter what it reqiores a boot mgr and even creating a boot usb even if i could get it to read | 07:43 |
| BassVI_96 | burn it to a CD/DVD? | 07:43 |
| kaller | cd dvd was damaged | 07:44 |
| kaller | 6- for repair and would rather not do that | 07:44 |
| BassVI_96 | the drive still work? | 07:44 |
| sgo11 | hi, when I run "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=8192" where /dev/sdb is a usb disk, finally, i got "dd: error writing ‘/dev/sdb’: No space left on device". is this normal? I thought dd would stop/quit normally when the device is full. | 07:44 |
| kaller | 60 | 07:44 |
| kaller | lol....not an easy problem...i've been messing with it for 5 days | 07:45 |
| pi___ | sgo11: its like that usb disk is smaller then source disk | 07:45 |
| BassVI_96 | if the optical drive on the laptop still works, I'm thinking you could try, on another computer, to burn the bios for the laptop to a CD/DVD | 07:45 |
| sgo11 | pi___, is that possible to let dd stop/quit automatically when the target device is full? if so, how? thanks. | 07:45 |
| kaller | i did sudo apt-get update and upgrade | 07:45 |
| kaller | but i can tell it doesn't have the full driver install to have all the drivers of my system | 07:46 |
| pi___ | sgo11: hmmm, that i dont know, i mean no, but there is somethink like join and split | 07:46 |
| kaller | yeah | 07:47 |

| kaller | 32g" | 07:49 |
| sgo11 | pi___, no. I just want dd quits automatically when the device is full. I want to write the zero to the entire device. | 07:49 |
| BassVI_96 | using the optical drive is about the only thing I can think of, if it won't read USB | 07:49 |
| kaller | tdo what i did | 07:50 |
| kaller | take the drive out and | 07:50 |
| pi___ | sgo11: actually, dd will do it | 07:50 |
| sgo11 | pi___, no, it keeps running after showing that error. I have to kill the command by ctrl+c. | 07:51 |
| kaller | wriote the live install iso to the drive in another pc....the differenc eis that you sohuld put the drive int he other pc and then boot it | 07:51 |
| BassVI_96 | kaller: that's what I'm trying to suggest for the bios, as well | 07:52 |
| pi___ | sgo11: and it is problem? | 07:53 |
| BassVI_96 | if the laptop won't read USB, burning a bios to a CD or DVD may be the only solution | 07:53 |
| BassVI_96 | if that works, the ubuntu install should | 07:53 |
| kaller | can't....bootmgr missing, usb not loading cuz crap bios, cd drive broke | 07:53 |
| sgo11 | pi___, I don't know what dd does when that error raised. does it keep writing zero to somewhere else? or keep writing from the start of the device? | 07:54 |
| pi___ | sgo11: no, certainly dont writing somewhere else | 07:55 |
| BassVI_96 | almost sounds to me like it's time to put a fork in that laptop | 07:55 |
| kaller | external usb dvd not functioning cuz i believe the usb drives aren't fully installed | 07:55 |
| kaller | naw | 07:55 |
| kaller | i can run a 14 bit 286 | 07:56 |
| pi___ | sgo11: its like, if you burn on 700MB CD 900MB, what is possible with force | 07:56 |
| pi___ | sgo11: and it is nonsense, ofcourse | 07:56 |
| sgo11 | pi___, if dd does not do anything when that error raises, I am fine with it. But I don't think that is the case. because ctrl+c can not kill the command very quickly. i have to type many ctrl+c to kill that command. that means dd is running busy with writes which I have no idea what it does. | 07:56 |
| kaller | just that ubuntu has little usb support and seems to be handles by an app instead of the OS (like plug and play) | 07:57 |
| pi___ | sgo11: for using dd, you must know, if dd can copy or not, right disk spaces | 07:57 |
| BassVI_96 | I'm new to ubuntu, myself, but I'm fairly good on the hardware side | 07:58 |
| kaller | ok...i have an easy queation | 07:58 |
| pi___ | sgo11: df, or df -h | 07:58 |
| sgo11 | pi___, I just want to write zero to the entire device. that's all. | 07:58 |

| sgo11 | geirha, I saw your message. :) ok. that means dd way is even safer than shred. | 08:11 |
| somsip | prainworker: so you're trying to install nvidia-current drivers? For what version of ubuntu? | 08:11 |
| kaller | then try it from the power button menu in about system | 08:11 |
| prainworker | somsip 14.04 | 08:11 |
| somsip | prainworker: you really need to ask in #ubuntu+1 as 14.04 is still in beta and not supported here. I appreciate people will try to help you here. but it's not the bext place | 08:12 |
| kaller | it installs on the term update/upgrade and installs on the update button in about system | 08:12 |
| geirha | sgo11: it depends on whether you just want to wipe the partition table, or whether you want to make sure the data it contained is extremely hard to retrieve | 08:12 |
| kaller | i would bet that is the same as mine installing it yesterday and upgrading and updating today | 08:13 |
| prainworker | yesterday they told me i should change to this version hat 12.04 running and know i am told that this is still a beta wowww | 08:13 |
| kaller | you don't have to wipe a second drive if you mount in term either | 08:13 |
| somsip | prainworker: if you've definitely installed 14.04, it is still beta for about another month. | 08:14 |
| kaller | 13.10 is beta also | 08:14 |
| sgo11 | geirha, I want my data is as unrecoverable as possible. I think dd is safer than shred. | 08:14 |
| prainworker | ok i only need a version where the new intuos wacom tables are support and in 12.04 that was not the case | 08:14 |
| prainworker | 14.04 worked out of the box | 08:15 |
| somsip | sgo11: shred does multiple passes and finishes off with dd if=/dev/zero IIRC. | 08:15 |
| kaller | so did 13.10 | 08:15 |
| geirha | sgo11: then shred is what you want | 08:15 |
| prainworker | yesterday i downloaded the nvidia driver from the websit and manually installed it | 08:15 |
| kaller | ididn't see 14.04 | 08:15 |
| prainworker | was working fine | 08:15 |
| sgo11 | geirha, somsip ok. got it. thanks a lot. | 08:15 |
| prainworker | but software center did not work anymore | 08:15 |
| prainworker | broken file cache | 08:16 |
| kaller | i isntalled nvidia when it asked on term upgrade | 08:16 |
| somsip | prainworker: so you're getting a bit messy already by installing from nvidia website. You *should* be using official packages to be as safe as possible, and the packages for 14.04 aren't finalised yet because it's still in beta... | 08:16 |

| kgee | kaller there is a codec .ex file and a note saying -Install the codecs from the /Codec/ Directory. | 08:40 |
| prainworker | sgo11 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7145251/ | 08:40 |
| somsip | kgee: if that's from a torrent, beware! Sounds like an attempt to give you a virus, which should not work on linux anyway | 08:41 |
| kgee | no its from newshosting | 08:42 |
| angel_ | i've installed iftop on my ubuntu server and when open it i've found some strange thing. why my domain at the left is different here is the screenshot: http://www160.lunapic.com/do-not-link-here-use-hosting-instead/139565021664301?6014569113 it should not be live.orangesoft.by | 08:42 |
| angel_ | it should be my domain | 08:42 |
| somsip | kgee: it's an illegal doanload, so same principle applies | 08:42 |
| somsip | *download | 08:42 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, are you sure "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" has no output? | 08:42 |
| kgee | never had this prob before | 08:43 |
| prainworker | befor something was fish wish x | 08:43 |
| prainworker | i will try again wait | 08:43 |
| prainworker | yes know the same! no output | 08:44 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, I don't know why you can't install "lib32gcc1". I have it in my system. | 08:45 |
| alket | Hi, some fan in my lap top is going crazy, any solutions ? | 08:46 |
| prainworker | sgo11 to i need latest nv driver! or will the open source one work fine for openGL apps | 08:46 |
| simon_ | hej | 08:47 |
| simon_ | Anybody here? | 08:47 |
| somsip | prainworker: told you already - nv driver is poor for gaming (no 3d support IIRC) | 08:47 |
| simon_ | This is working | 08:47 |
| fidel_ | simon_: there is always someone ;) | 08:47 |
| simon_ | great :D | 08:47 |
| prainworker | sorry did not see the post | 08:47 |
| simon_ | fidel_: Im getting educated in Linux so im just seeing if this works. Is this a support channel? | 08:48 |
| prainworker | so i should stick with the driver i have running | 08:48 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, for nvidia card, I think it's better use proprietary driver. | 08:48 |
| prainworker | waaaaa | 08:48 |
| DJones | prainworker: Are you using 14.04? Thats what you said in #ubuntu+1 before you left that channel, if you are, you need to ask in #ubuntu+1, there can be different versions of drivers in 14.04 that aren't present in 12.04 etc | 08:48 |
| somsip | prainworker: it is *best* to use the officially supported and provided driver. Doesn't mean it will be perfect, but it should have the least issues | 08:48 |
| xar- | simon_: IRC lesson #1; type /topic in your client. | 08:49 |
| fidel_ | simon_: yes it is- most channels to mention its "topic" in the topic. usually a line in the top of your irc client or checkable using the /topic command | 08:49 |
| gnumdk | Will 14.04 released with a broken IM? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1261060 | 08:49 |

| sgo11 | DJones, I am using 14.04. nvidia-331 is the latest nvidia driver here. | 08:50 |
| sgo11 | I have no idea why he has unmet dependencies problem. | 08:50 |
| prainworker | sgo11 i am back | 08:52 |
| prainworker | i did change my download location to the main server and reload pack tree | 08:52 |
| prainworker | the austrian server update server was allready puggy some time ago | 08:52 |
| prainworker | hhehhe | 08:53 |
| prainworker | really funny it works | 08:53 |
| prainworker | can you belive that | 08:53 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, what works? | 08:53 |
| prainworker | sgo11 i changed my download location from austrian server to main server did update pkg tree | 08:54 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, oh. after that, you can install nvidia-331. right? | 08:54 |
| przemek | Hello , is it good idea to make a software raid on SSD disks ? | 08:54 |
| prainworker | and now it install the nvidia-331 normal right now its building modules for generic | 08:55 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, ok. cool. good luck. | 08:55 |
| xar- | przemek: "good idea" is relative; depends on your objectives. | 08:55 |
| prainworker | sgo11 after the install form the pkg to i need to to something more# | 08:56 |

| prainworker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7145306/ | 08:56 |
| sgo11 | prainworker, no. you just need to reboot your system. and then, if you can run "nvidia-settings" command without any problems, that means you are using nvidia driver. | 08:56 |
| prainworker | ok will go for reboot | 08:57 |

| HiDeHo | Hi all just wondering if there is a gnome version of ubuntu around. | 09:41 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: there is, its called ubuntu gnome | 09:41 |

| thom__ | I figured out how to install Google Chrome in 14.04. The software center wouldn't install it. I downloaded the file from the terminal and noticed it saved it to the home folder. I then entered the same command I had tried several times and it said that I needed superuser privileges. So I entered sudo su, then I entered dpkg -i google-chrome-etc.deb and it installed fine. I then moved the other .deb files I had downloaded to the home folder and entered the dpk | 09:49 |
| thom__ | g -i etc-etc.deb command and everything installed without any problems | 09:49 |
| HiDeHo | thanks k1l_ is it using the same base as the ubuntu standard - unity | 09:49 |
| arcimboldo | Hi all, is there anyone using zmq instead of rabbitmq? I have trouble understanding exactly how to make it work. | 09:50 |
| === Guest52211 is now known as michael_o | ||
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: its the same base but with some changes in the gnome-base files that got changed for unity. | 09:50 |
| HiDeHo | k1l_: ok cool | 09:51 |
| HiDeHo | so all other ubuntu based versions such as kubuntu, xubuntu etc are all on the same base os | 09:51 |
| k1l_ | yes | 09:52 |
| HiDeHo | cool | 09:52 |
| HiDeHo | when is the next LTS due to come out | 09:52 |
| k1l_ | !lts | HiDeHo | 09:52 |
| ubottu | HiDeHo: 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) | 09:52 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: 14.04 will be released in april 2014 | 09:53 |
| DJones | HiDeHo: 17th April | 09:53 |
| HiDeHo | ok cool | 09:54 |
| HiDeHo | so main ubuntu will be around 17th april and the other ubuntu based versions will be shortly after | 09:55 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: no, all official ubuntus will be released on the same date | 09:55 |
| DJones | HiDeHo: Normally all released at the same time & date | 09:55 |
| Sveta_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=871864 I have this problem. I had to use another OS to connect, with Ubuntu now being on a second partition. | 09:55 |
| Sveta_ | I don't see its files from here, so I have to reboot to make every single change, I think. What can you recommend? | 09:56 |
| HiDeHo | k1l_: I thought there is only one official now which is the unity one. and all other ones are now run by other companies/people | 09:56 |
| Guest11 | Hello all , how i can find sources.list & how to edit ? thanks | 09:57 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: see http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives | 09:57 |
| k1l_ | Guest11: its in /etc/apt/ | 09:57 |
| Guest11 | k1l_, thans | 09:58 |
| HiDeHo | k1l_: ok thanks. i wonder why mint is not mentioned there. when like the other ones its derived from ubuntu too. | 10:00 |
| DJones | HiDeHo: Mint isn't a release of ubuntu | 10:00 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: mint is not a official ubuntu release | 10:01 |
| khildin | HiDeHo, you can already try 14.04: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 10:01 |
| DJones | HiDeHo: The official Ubuntu releases include Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and Gnome-Ubuntu, thats all | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | HiDeHo: the mint community is entirely separate from Ubuntu's, just as Ubuntu's support is entirely separate from Debian's | 10:01 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: there are nearly a abillion other ubuntu based releases. but only the mentioned are official | 10:01 |
| HiDeHo | k1l_: ok Derivatives | 10:01 |
| HiDeHo | Ubuntu is a popular operating system and a popular starting point for people who want to create their own operating systems. | 10:01 |
| HiDeHo | linux mint is also built on a ubuntu base | 10:01 |
| HiDeHo | just saying | 10:01 |
| HiDeHo | ok i see so its not an official version got it | 10:02 |
| DJones | HiDeHo: It may be based on ubuntu, but its not an official release, its not something that would be supported here | 10:02 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: yes, but its seperated from ubuntu, like ubuntu is seperated from debian. ubuntu is based on debian | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | HiDeHo: we are aware, doesnt mean it is supported here | 10:02 |
| jessica_ | hejsan :D | 10:03 |
| ann-louise | halloj! | 10:04 |
| jessica_ | där är du :D | 10:04 |

| ann-louise | här är jag Jessica :) | 10:04 |
| HiDeHo | i understand about mint not supported here. | 10:04 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: did you read the link i gave you? | 10:05 |
| cisconinja | somsip: yeah the fact i have to provide my password in a plain text in the terminal , automatically triggers me to not use sendEmail | 10:05 |
| jessica_ | Så ann-louise vad skulle vi göra här? :P japp, det är fler här. | 10:05 |
| HiDeHo | so this channel is for ubuntu and official Derivatives | 10:05 |
| fidel_ | jessica_: this channel is english - maybe use the lrealted language channel for whatever nordern-language you speak or consider keeping it english here ;) | 10:06 |
| k1l_ | HiDeHo: yes | 10:06 |
| fidel_ | *related* | 10:06 |
| HiDeHo | ok thanks noted for future reference. | 10:07 |
| * cisconinja not sure , if it says "ubuntu" and the title says "official Ubuntu support" i am freaking sure it is not a porn channel then! | 10:09 | |

| MrT-RSA | Hi im quite new to linux. For some reason 12.04 works perfectly on my university wifi network but 13.10 cant connect. Im about to try 12.04 on my laptop. Before I do that is there something else im missing? | 10:38 |
| as_btc | mtnbkr, yup, download your ubuntu version, boot from it and upgrade :) | 10:40 |
| mtnbkr | ActionParsnip: really? So I can (safely) do the upgrade using either sudo do-release-upgrade to Lucid or use the Lucid CD without fully patching as I had read somewhere a while back? | 10:40 |
| as_btc | that's what I meant when I said "with the cd" | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | MrT-RSA: 13.10 support is about to expire but 12.04 is supported til April 2017...why would you wnat to use 13.10? | 10:40 |
| mtnbkr | P.S. This is a server that a client has not let us update/patch is a while... Do to IT dept changes, and exec changes so I am kind of in a bind and do appreciate the help | 10:41 |
| k1l_ | or just changing the sources.list as mentioned in the wiki page he said he knows already and do all a regular upgrade. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mtnbkr: its how it is done. I dont upgrade releases I always clean install so I am not sure about 'safely' but the commad you gave is the method | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mtnbkr: as long as you have backups, you can go crazy. If it is a VM and you have space, take a snapshot | 10:41 |
| maedox | mtnbkr: do-release-upgrade is not safe at all, but it usually works fine. | 10:42 |
| as_btc | MrT-RSA, I downgraded from 13.10 to 12.04 LTS as I found 13.10 very buggy | 10:42 |
| as_btc | lots of error notifications | 10:42 |
| k1l_ | as_btc: downgrades are not supported at all | 10:42 |
| as_btc | as in | 10:42 |

| as_btc | of 12.04 | 10:42 |
| as_btc | not in place | 10:42 |

| MrT-RSA | No particular reason Im using 13.10. Tried ubuntu for the first time due to Windows 8 ticking me off. | 10:43 |
| MrT-RSA | Ill install 12.04 and see if that works. | 10:43 |
| hemangpatel | Hi | 10:43 |
| mtnbkr | ActionParsnip: yeah, the ONLY reason I agreed to do this is because it is on a VMware ESXi server and I should be able to do snapshots along the way | 10:43 |
| hemangpatel | Is there any way to install http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/php/php5-cli in my old version of ubuntu | 10:44 |

| mtnbkr | as_btc: ActionParsnip also I read that I need to go to 10.0.4 LTS from 8.0.4 before jumping to 12.0.4 LTS... so... | 10:45 |
| maedox | mtnbkr: Basically what it does is change your package sources to the new version and running apt-get dist-upgrade. There is probably more magic behind the scenes, but what I meant by not safe is that I've seen upgrade issues a few times myself when upgrading server installations. What I do is create a replica server and upgrade that one, so that I don't have | 10:45 |
| maedox | to change the master if something goes awry. | 10:45 |
| hemangpatel | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 11.10 | 10:46 |
| mtnbkr | maedox: my only issue is that I have 2.8TB SAN volume mounted (which should not matter 'cause it is not "part of the VM", but the 250GB volume is so cloning it is not gonna be very fast, but a snapshot should be OK (after dismounting the SAN) | 10:47 |
| k1l_ | maedox: mtnbkr yes, it does some more than just change sources and run dist-upgrade. but it is quite safe. but of course there is always a risk that something can go wrong, so backups are suggested | 10:47 |
| mtnbkr | OK, so guys... if I need to go to 10.04 first, how do I instruct the do-upgrade to limit to that verison? | 10:48 |

| chemist^ | Hello everyone. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS with unity - How do i turn off the annoying "Blank screen" a.k.a. "Turn off monitor" after a specific period of time? I've tried the power settings, screensaver, gnome-tweak-tool with no success, every time i use Unity as my DE the screen goes blank after 10 minutes or so. How do i turn this off, so it never turns the screen off? | 10:50 |
| as_btc | chemist^, that could be your monitor itself | 10:51 |
| chemist^ | as_btc, no it's not | 10:51 |
| chemist^ | as_btc, when i use a different DE it does not happen...only with unity... and i am switching from time to time from my computer monitor to a LCD tv via HDMI, the same happens there. | 10:52 |
| as_btc | chemist^, that would be your screen lock | 10:52 |
| chemist^ | So it's not the monitor, it's the settings somewhere. | 10:52 |
| as_btc | try all settings brightness and lock lock off | 10:52 |
| chemist^ | hmm | 10:53 |
| chemist^ | where is screen lock? | 10:53 |
| chemist^ | oh...wait a sec | 10:53 |
| as_btc | Brightness and Lock | 10:53 |
| festaans | Hi, I want to add and set a screen resolution on start-up. I manage to set the resolution manually using https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9738128. How can I set this permanently? | 10:53 |
| chemist^ | as_btc, lock is OFF and turn off monitor after....is also off | 10:53 |
| xar- | klander: what's up? | 10:53 |
| as_btc | chemist^, ok | 10:53 |
| Walex | chemist^: there are as you discovered half a dozen places where monitor power settings can be changed... Including the monitor itself. | 10:54 |
| as_btc | then wait 10 minutes and see | 10:54 |
| as_btc | chemist^, your screen shouldn't turn off now | 10:54 |
| chemist^ | as_btc,?? | 10:54 |
| chemist^ | i did not change any settings, it was already set to OFF, but it still turns it off | 10:54 |
| as_btc | you just changed lock to off? | 10:54 |
| mtnbkr | k1l_: re: wiki page. OK will do. Thanks | 10:55 |
| as_btc | chemist^, you should post your gnome log | 10:55 |
| chemist^ | Walex, but if i switch to my TV via HDMI the same happens....only in Unity | 10:56 |
| as_btc | or unity log | 10:56 |

| k1l_ | mtnbkr: no, i said: just change the sources.list like mentioned in the wiki and do a regular upgrade. but its your chaoice | 11:11 |
| Touhou11 | as_btc: I'd avoid using compiz if you can, it's no longer being developed or supported | 11:11 |
| usr13 | as_btc: I don't see much need for compiz, (my PC runs more effeciently without it). (I use xfce anyway.) | 11:12 |

| as_btc | usr13, I've been using gentoo the last few days | 11:18 |

| as_btc | usr13, got everything up and running all apps etc | 11:18 |
| as_btc | usr13, but so many breakages | 11:19 |
| xar- | klander: if you're using myisam, you can do a 'hackish' rsync of the contents of /var/lib/mysql to a new server | 11:19 |
| as_btc | the stabe is literally broken | 11:19 |
| as_btc | stable | 11:19 |
| xar- | klander: if you're using innodb, not really viable due to corruption concerns, although still technically possible | 11:19 |
| as_btc | a lot of effort for not much gains | 11:19 |
| usr13 | chemist^: No, I am refering to system resources, but yes it would also relate to battery life when applied to the laptop. (I also use xfce on the laptop as well.) | 11:19 |
| klander | xar-: worth a shot | 11:19 |
| xar- | klander: in the interest of time, i would spin up a new server and copy your database over | 11:19 |
| xar- | klander: depending on the urgency of your database access | 11:20 |
| chemist^ | usr13, if compiz has that much effect on your resources, then you DO have an old pc :) | 11:20 |
| usr13 | as_btc: Very good! | 11:20 |
| chemist^ | usr13, when it comes to laptop, i use xfce as well | 11:20 |

| Obsdark | thanks | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Obsdark: it will rename the file, you can also use: sudo wget to write outside the user's $HOME | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Obsdark: eg: sudo wget -O /usr/bin/script http://whatever..... | 11:46 |
| xar- | mtnbkr: performing the do-release-upgrade will probably cause downtime; also, it has been known to not work in some cases. Be prepared with good backups. | 11:47 |
| Obsdark | thanks a lot | 11:47 |
| k1l_ | mtnbkr: ok, once again: rename the sources.list entries to old-release.... then run the regular do-release-upgrade | 11:48 |
| mtnbkr | xar-: well, downtime is expected. Will be stopping mail services, backing up, shutting down server snapshot the VM, then bring server back up with no email sevices running then doing Ubuntu upgrades, followed by Zimbra upgrades. snapshotting along the way | 11:48 |
| k1l_ | mtnbkr: i really dont get what the problem is in that case? | 11:48 |
| xar- | mtnbkr: how much mail are we talking about here? | 11:48 |
| pu | .. | 11:51 |
| mtnbkr | k1l_: I get that, and is in my to-do list :) my question is, everything I read about the do-release-upgrade always says "will upgrade to the latest release" and I (supposedly) need to go to 10.04 first from all the docs I have read. so, I think my question is: will do-release.... bring me to 10.04 LTS, or is it going to try to bring me to 12 or 13? sorry if I am being dense. Again, I generally maintain gentoo servers and only use Ubuntu when requi | 11:51 |
| mtnbkr | red by a program (like Zimbra) | 11:51 |
| k1l_ | it will bring you one step at a time | 11:51 |
| xar- | mtnbkr: the more future-proof solution would be to drop your TTL's for your zones to 300, drag down the 12.04.4 lts, install, rsync over your MTA configs and the mailboxes, update DNS, at least you can rest easy knowing it's a clean deployment with no straggler packages | 11:52 |
| k1l_ | if you dont wait years after the support is gone there is no confusion :) | 11:52 |
| mtnbkr | k1l_: excellent. Thank you. A lot of stress has just been lifted from my back | 11:52 |
| k1l_ | mtnbkr: so it will bring you to 10.04. then you need to upgrade to 12.04 if needed | 11:52 |
| mtnbkr | k1l_: re: waiting years. Customer's fault, and I am NOT happy about being in this position one single bit. :( Been telling, warning, yelling at them for years now.. | 11:53 |
| k1l_ | and tell them 10.04 server only got support to april 2015, so they need to think about that to not get in the same situation next year | 11:53 |
| mtnbkr | k1l_: right, Zimbra 8.06 currently supports 10.04, but it is deprecated, so I will be going right to 12.04 as soon as 10.04 upgrade is verified as functional and a snapshot of it has been taken | 11:53 |
| k1l_ | allright | 11:54 |
| Touhou11 | If a customer doesn't listen to you, drop them as a customer. You're not obliged to work for idiots | 11:54 |
| mtnbkr | xar-: got about 500GB emails... so going to need to do in-place upgrades of Ubuntu rather than a migration to newly built 12.04 LTS server VM. | 11:55 |
| mablae | Hi there! | 11:56 |
| xar- | mtnbkr: that's... a lot of mail; i mean maybe not for a gigE network, but yea, a lot of mail ha | 11:57 |
| mtnbkr | Touhou11: yeah, well... I agree, but it is easier said than done. THis customer just went through the loss of CFO, and IT director, and several helpdesk people in the course of about 8 months... So it is pretty chaotic and has been for a while. Other than that, the last 14 years supporting them has been pretty reasonable. | 11:57 |
| xar- | mtnbkr: while you're doing the spring cleaning, you should notify your customer that mail older than X years is going to be purged; cuz 99% of people don't look at mail that old. | 11:58 |
| mablae | We are discussing the migration from windows to ubuntu for our workstation client PCs: Is there anything like WSUS in the linux world?! Like installing updates from one central location?! | 11:58 |
| xar- | mablae: google linux orchestration; there's chef, puppet, ansable, etc. | 11:59 |
| __raven_ | ActionParsnip: ? | 11:59 |
| mablae | I know puppet for server environments but is that usable in a desktop environment also?! | 11:59 |
| xar- | s/ansable/ansible/ | 11:59 |
| mtnbkr | xar-: hahah apparently you do not have any private boarding schools as clients. This is not "the real world" | 11:59 |
| mablae | xar-, So there is no difference between server ubuntu and xubuntu in this case at all?! | 11:59 |
| Latrina | Hello everyone | 11:59 |
| Latrina | anyone here uses dnsmasq ?? | 12:00 |
| xar- | I work in hosting, I know pretty much every kind of client imaginable :P | 12:00 |
| mablae | Yeah hosting servers... But what about a 12.04 xubuntu installation?! Is it manageble with chef or puppet?! | 12:00 |
| mtnbkr | xar-: So how do your customers like you telling them your gonna delete their stuff? Prolly not too much I suspect. :) | 12:00 |
| Latrina | is there a wat to let clients connected in the lan resolve other machine through their domains which I would set up on the dnsmasq DNS server ? | 12:01 |
| mablae | We want to use some kind of Ldap Auth also | 12:01 |
| mablae | @ xar- | 12:01 |
| Latrina | I want them to be able to resolve the local domains without having to add the domains manually to each clients connected | 12:01 |
| Latrina | is it possible to do so?? | 12:01 |
| xar- | mtnbkr: sometimes being able to offer timely and robust support means bringing down the guantlet on them; you need to be strategic in how you approach those battles; I'd probably come at them with hard data about their old mail access heuristics. Justify your decisions with fact. | 12:02 |

| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: yes i know so there is no way ?i want to upgrade it , before it i want to backup my files via samba and i need to install samba package | 12:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: the release is no longer supported in this channel | 12:18 |
| ubixs2 | you told me one time i heard it , ActionPa1snip don't repeate ,if i want to upgrade to new ubuntu i should have backup , so how do you want me share files into other system without samba ... | 12:20 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: do you have openssh-server installed? | 12:20 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: yes | 12:21 |

| ActionPa1snip | skylinewhy: tried with sudo? | 12:23 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: yes or it wont communicate on the network | 12:24 |
| skylinewhy | ActionPa1snip: sudo? I try to mounting with root user | 12:24 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: you can connect to port 22 on the ubuntu side via sftp and get the data. | 12:24 |
| ActionPa1snip | skylinewhy: yes but your user may not have access to read the data, hence 0 bytes.... | 12:24 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: I suggest you look into a backup regime. | 12:25 |
| skylinewhy | ActionPa1snip: I used the correct UID and GID in the mount command, but the files are empty | 12:25 |
| ActionPa1snip | skylinewhy: try: sudo du -h /etc/networks | 12:25 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: two systems are connected to a wifi adsl modem ...and how two systems detect each other ? ip should be set yes ? | 12:25 |

| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: run: ifconfig on ubuntu and you will see the address | 12:26 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: having your data in a single location is not wise | 12:26 |

| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: yes i want to copy them into windows hard | 12:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: then use filezilla, it is an sftp client for Windows, use the Ubuntu IP and your Ubuntu username and password to authenticate | 12:27 |
| yiwan | Hello?why mdadm can not grow a RAID-10 but btrfs can? | 12:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: lots of guides online on how to use filezilla | 12:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | yiwan: are there any bugs reported? | 12:28 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: i have used it before thanks will try now | 12:28 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: why do you not already have a backup? | 12:28 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: lack of time :P | 12:29 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: how long have you had the system? | 12:29 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: maverick ...and before | 12:29 |
| skylinewhy | ActionPa1snip: sudo du -h /etc/networks is 0 byte, but is not true :\ | 12:29 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: so in 4 years you havent had 10 - 15 mins to copy some data to a USB HDD? | 12:29 |
| ActionPa1snip | !hfs | skylinewhy | 12:30 |
| ubottu | skylinewhy: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 12:30 |
| ActionPa1snip | skylinewhy: may be worth reviewing your mounting | 12:30 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: you can run the copy overnight once it's started. Taks no time at all | 12:31 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: of course i had not an external hard , in fact i don't believe backup , now i just want to install new ubuntu ,this is why i want remove/manage all , a question what's the latest LTS ubuntu now ? | 12:31 |
| ghartmann | is there a better way to tell which partitions should be mounted automatically | 12:31 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: latest stable LTS is Precise (12.04), there is Trusty (14.04) due out next month but is in prerelease now | 12:32 |
| skylinewhy | ActionPa1snip: for example? | 12:33 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: if the IDE on the drive fails on the drive, or the motor fails, where is your data? A cheap USB drive costs peanuts compared to professional data recovery which is ungarunteed. It's your data you are risking, I can only advise | 12:33 |

| linuxlite1969 | hey guys..anyone using arpspoof here ? | 12:40 |

| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: 13.04 is EOL, it was also godawful imho :) | 12:41 |
| ubixs2 | ActionPa1snip: i don't have such internet to upgrade whole os ...it will get all os again yes ? | 12:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: yes, you will have to upgrade a lot more than a clean install to get from Maverick to Trusty | 12:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: also, a clean install will remove the old fluff from the old installs, feels like new and with fewer issues | 12:43 |

| ActionPa1snip | ubixs2: no | 12:54 |

| Sven_vB | or in other words, swap the rows and columns of my table, like mirroring on a top-left to bottom-right axis | 14:02 |
| somsip | Sven_vB: lots of search results for 'bash switch rows columns', eg: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1729824/transpose-a-file-in-bash Should give you a starting point | 14:06 |
| Sven_vB | thx! | 14:06 |
| Sven_vB | with that, i even found some awk script already. then again, i wonder why i can't find some packaged tool to do it... should i publish one? | 14:07 |

| brothersome | Hi vires1 | 14:08 |
| Seshmaru1 | i need to transfer ISPConfig3 to a vesta server, i only need my clients emails with their accounts, i dont know how much does vmail and mail differ from eachother | 14:08 |
| sydney | vires1: hello | 14:08 |
| AlanBell | Sven_vB: sc is a tool that does that | 14:08 |
| Sven_vB | AlanBell, thanks! | 14:08 |
| vires1 | after installing aircrack-ng runing airmon-ng it asks me to run as root when i enter my password it says authentication failure | 14:09 |
| vires1 | i need solution to it | 14:10 |
| Sven_vB | AlanBell, do you further know how to invoke it for the purpose? i found a mention of "transpose" in its man page in pr/pc/pp, but fail to imagine a workflow for it and my fav search engine has too many off-topic "sc"s near "matrix transpose" | 14:13 |
| === david is now known as Guest25626 | ||
| AlanBell | Sven_vB: I just know it works on that kind of file for all kinds of things, use psc to get stuff in the right format then there are loads of things to process it, anything you could do with a graphical spreadsheet | 14:14 |
| AlanBell | Sven_vB: psc -r < inputfile | sc -W% - > outputfile | 14:15 |
| Sven_vB | thanks, i'll try that | 14:15 |
| AlanBell | Sven_vB: I haven't tried that specifically, I was doing other stuff with it | 14:15 |
| koploti | Hi guys. Advice needed. Friend thinking of switching, i have to choose the right distro. He's a journalist, so most of the time he writes stuff in a word processor, listens to music and browses. Laptop is about three years old- intel integr.graphics card, 2.1 dual core intel and 4gb ram. Which distro do you think would be best for such a person. So: a journalist, writing professional + casual music + movies + browsing...is ubuntu for such | 14:17 |
| jhutchins | koploti: Why would people in the ubuntu support channel even know what the features of other distributions might be? | 14:19 |
| raj__ | could I use logrotate to rotate bash history of users, so I can keep bash history logs for long ? | 14:19 |
| Aman21 | koploti ubuntu is good go for it | 14:19 |
| koploti | Noone wanted to answer on #linux, so i basically go around and ask, maybe i get a glimpse. Kinda think when i install it the first time, it has to work :) | 14:20 |
| somsip | koploti: try the live CDs/DVDs for the different flavours and let your friend try them and decide for himself | 14:20 |
| AlanBell | koploti: Ubuntu would work fine for that | 14:20 |
| glambert | how do you generate a new random-seed file? | 14:20 |
| somsip | glambert: what is it you're wanting to do exactly? | 14:20 |
| Sven_vB | AlanBell, it works quite far already, seems like i just have to convince it to output tsv instead of fixed width columns. would you know a switch for that? what i have already: echo -e 'a\tb\tc\n1\t2\t3\n4\t5\t6' | psc -r | sc -W% - | tr '\t' '_' | 14:20 |
| glambert | somsip, provisioning new virtual machine | 14:21 |
| koploti | and for which distro would you say it's easiest to get support? | 14:21 |
| glambert | koploti, Ubuntu, for sure | 14:21 |
| somsip | glambert: specifically, in relation to the 'new random-seed file'? | 14:21 |
| koploti | Ok. Thanks guys :) | 14:22 |
| koploti | all the best :) | 14:22 |
| glambert | somsip, I'm porting the virt-sysprep from libguestfs into something I can run on the guest rather than on the host | 14:22 |

| jhutchins | !why ubuntu | 14:23 |
| somsip | glambert: sounds like you're at development level rather than user level. This might not be the best place, unless you are lucky | 14:23 |

| Hedgework | Hey, all. I've got an Xubuntu machine whereon I use i3 as my wm. I'm not finding what I need via #xubuntu or web searches, so I'm hoping you all can point me to relevant docs... | 14:25 |
| koploti | Oh. just one more. Is there any word on tiheum's new icons? Are they arriving on time for 14.04? | 14:26 |
| Hedgework | ...I'm seeking a not-annoying (CLI preferred, light GUI tolerated) way to manage my network connectivity from i3. ifconfig and iwconfig seem to have changed since I last used them, and I'm not finding docs for preferred methods that don't assume I have Xfce4's network widget running. | 14:26 |

| somsip | koploti: This might lead you to something with information. No idea myself. https://code.launchpad.net/~tiheum/ubuntu-themes/suru-icons | 14:27 |
| nothing_else | ifconfig ? | 14:27 |
| somsip | glambert: ah - my mistake | 14:27 |
| nothing_else | or nmcli ? | 14:27 |
| nothing_else | Ex. [start a vpn connection named foo] nmcli con up id foo | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Hedgework: if you dont use vpn, then wicd-curses is decent | 14:29 |
| nothing_else | Also...for wireless...wavemon | 14:30 |
| Hedgework | ActionParsnip: I'm not VPNing most of the time, so that should be fine...I didn't think *buntu even ran wicd...at least it's not in /etc/init.d/ | 14:30 |
| Hedgework | (wicd is actually what I'm used to) | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !info wicd | Hedgework | 14:31 |
| Sven_vB | AlanBell, i've decided to, for now, solve the tsv convert with sed. thanks for showing me the way this far! | 14:31 |
| ubottu | Hedgework: wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.2.4-4.1 (saucy), package size 4 kB, installed size 46 kB | 14:31 |
| Hedgework | ActionParsnip: nifty...I'd (apparently falsely) assumed that installing wicd would require lots of work to get around ubuntu-isms/assumptions. | 14:31 |
| Hedgework | ActionParsnip: I'll just do that then. | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Hedgework: i believe you will need to remove network manager then reboot | 14:34 |

| s466531257boss | another question : in my precise install ( latest updates - no proposed ) i can't reactivate the Qualcomm Gobi 1000 anymore ; even after (only for that booting into windows ) use the HP Connection Manager to activate the full set . The only way to activate it is establish a connection and kill the machine while running win , then boot straight into precise. Then i get my ttyUSB0 visible , but only active as root via sudo su . | 14:42 |

| compAHsite | what's the safest way to "zero" out a microSD card with ubuntu? (selling my old phone..) | 14:54 |
| jmadero | compAHsite: if you can plug it into a computer just use the dd command and zero it out | 14:55 |
| mtnbkr | compAHsite: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/path/toSD | 14:55 |
| jmadero | why urandom | 14:55 |
| jmadero | just 0 it out | 14:55 |
| jmadero | if you don't care that it's obvious that you zero'd it out - else randomize | 14:55 |
| mtnbkr | asked and answered :) | 14:56 |
| jmadero | lol | 14:56 |
| compAHsite | jmadero: mtnbkr: easy, enough. thanks. if I just wanted to 0 it out, what would I use as if=? | 14:56 |
| mtnbkr | /dev/zero | 14:56 |
| compAHsite | perfect. thanks guys! | 14:56 |
| jmadero | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX | 14:56 |
| jmadero | sorry I was slow | 14:57 |
| mtnbkr | \0/ I win! lol | 14:57 |
| * jmadero hands mtnbkr a beer | 14:57 | |
| * mtnbkr puts it in fridge - starting a 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04 Ubuntu upgrade fo client in 33 mins - followed by a Zimbra 7.2.5 to 8.0.6 upgrade | 14:58 | |
| s466531257boss | @jmadero : that could kill without proper alignment as given by manufacturer | 14:58 |
| mtnbkr | jmadero: I need to be alert for a while here. :) | 14:58 |
| jmadero | mtnbkr: why in the world would you do that upgrade | 14:58 |
| jmadero | I prefer clean install every time | 14:59 |
| jmadero | separate /home and other important partitions | 14:59 |

| jmadero | that sounds rough ;) | 14:59 |
| jmadero | and Ubuntu 8.04 hasn't been supported for..... | 14:59 |
| jmadero | this client needs a reminder of good sound upgrade policies lol | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jmadero: ...ever | 15:00 |
| mtnbkr | jmadero: yeah, they have not allowed us to update Ubuntu for a while but they want Zimbra 8.06 and that requires Ubuntu 12.04 so Ubuntu upgrades have been approved sigh | 15:00 |
| Osmodivs | When is 14.04 comming out? | 15:00 |
| jmadero | mtnbkr: and the awesome thing is 14.04 is being releaesd in a month | 15:00 |
| jmadero | so they'll still be out of date | 15:00 |
| Osmodivs | I really need new packages... | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Osmodivs: next month, hence the version number | 15:01 |
| mtnbkr | 8.0.4 LTS was supported until mid 2013 | 15:01 |
| jmadero | Osmodivs: and what new packages | 15:01 |
| jmadero | you can still install packages on 13.10 | 15:01 |
| jmadero | or even 12.04 | 15:01 |
| jmadero | you'll just have to either (a) find a ppa, or (b) manually install | 15:01 |
| Osmodivs | jmadero, libogg, I need version 1.3 and 12.04 gives me 1.2 | 15:01 |
| Osmodivs | jmadero, and others | 15:01 |
| jmadero | Osmodivs: so google it and install :) | 15:01 |
| jmadero | if you just download the debian packages | 15:02 |
| jmadero | you can install easy enough | 15:02 |
| mtnbkr | jmadero: re: 14.04 Yeah, I know... hopefully, we can convince them to get back to being proactive, but somehow I doubt it. | 15:02 |
| jmadero | mtnbkr: you should just install the beta release now ;) | 15:02 |
| jmadero | save the hassle in a month | 15:02 |

| jmadero | round 1 - fight | 15:05 |
| jmadero | sydney: sorry I have no clue the answer to your question | 15:06 |
| jmadero | it would depend on your internet speed | 15:06 |
| jmadero | and your computer specs | 15:06 |
| Osmodivs | The best way is to let the distro install the Libs, otherwise, youll end up with a broken system. | 15:06 |
| jmadero | I always do fresh installs | 15:06 |
| Toph | adobe flash player 11.2 seems the latest version for Chrome in Linux but my videos always call for a later version.. How can I correct this? I know version 12 is out there | 15:06 |

| jmadero | but I can watch flash no problem | 15:07 |
| jmadero | with 11.2 | 15:07 |
| mtnbkr | jmadero: flash support for linux ceased at 10.2 (or something point 2) but google seems to have put a wrapper around newer flash versions and included them in chrome | 15:07 |
| jmadero | lame | 15:08 |
| jmadero | why keep feeding the Adobe bs | 15:08 |
| jmadero | flash is dead - let it die | 15:08 |

| jmadero | Toph: try the flashaid extension in firefox | 15:23 |
| jmadero | Toph: if that fails - honestly not sure | 15:23 |
| jmadero | flash works 100% for me | 15:23 |
| Toph | jmadero,,, strange,, it used to work for me as well, this is a new problem,,, thanks for the help | 15:23 |
| jmadero | Toph: does it work in other browsers | 15:24 |
| jmadero | or every browser is the same? | 15:24 |

| AlanBell | Sven_vB: glad it is working, I only used sc a little bit, mostly as a fun text mode spreadsheet | 15:35 |

| tgm4883 | Zoidberg2, IDK what archey is, but have you looked in /etc ? | 17:54 |
| Zoidberg2 | yeah i checked /etc | 17:54 |
| tgm4883 | Zoidberg2, I dont' see that in the repos, where did you install it from | 17:55 |
| Zoidberg2 | archey is just a ASCII art / system information addon | 17:55 |
| Zoidberg2 | it shows ascii art when you start the terminal | 17:55 |
| Zoidberg2 | let me find you a link... | 17:55 |

| rickc | I'm trying to install on a SCSI drive but get stuck at the step when ubuntu detects the hard disk. The correct SCSI drivers are listed in lshw but the drive itself reads as UNCLAIMED and I can't partition it. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? | 18:03 |
| jhutchins | rickc: Check the cables? | 18:03 |
| rickc | Windows sees the drive just fine; the cables are not the issue | 18:04 |
| kyle__ | rickc: Where does it show unclaimed? | 18:05 |
| Zoidberg2 | tgm4883 i found it! you have to edit the archey python script in /usr/bin | 18:05 |
| Zoidberg2 | that command is awesome | 18:05 |
| tgm4883 | Zoidberg2, sweet, glad you found it. Although that seems like a bad place to have to edit something | 18:05 |
| rickc | for scsi:1 logicial name scsi 0 | 18:05 |
| kyle__ | rickc: Because usually, that means no driver claimed that device. So either you do NOT actually have the rigth scsi driver loaded, or you didn't load the driver for scsi-discs scsi-generic scsi-whatervertypeofdevice | 18:06 |
| rickc | so do i need the correct driver for the hard disk itself as opposed to the scsi controller? | 18:06 |
| kyle__ | rickc: Not exactly. For systems with modules, the scsi-disk driver is a module, and that's what the card-specific driver uses to talk to the disk. | 18:07 |
| kyle__ | rickc: But there is just one scsi-disk driver hard drives, and just one for optical drives, etc. Does that make sense? | 18:07 |
| rickc | oh so its not vendor specific? | 18:08 |
| BassVI_96 | is Pidgin any better than XChat for IRC? | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | BassVI_96: thats just an opinion, try both and see what you think | 18:09 |

| kyle__ | rickc: Right. Pastebin the output of lsmod, and the output of lshw | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BassVI_96: you are using an OS that champions freedom and choice, but you ask in a room of strangers what o think? | 18:09 |

| BassVI_96 | several in Second Life told me to go to Ubuntu | 18:13 |
| Zoidberg2 | its the easiest to deal with | 18:13 |

| rickc | The error I'm getting is Libparted Bug Found! Error opening /dev/sdb: No such device or address | 18:19 |
| kyle__ | rickc: Is this a straight scsi card, or is this a scsi-raid card, have you gone into the settings on the scsi bios and checked everything, and is there a terminator on your scsi chain? | 18:20 |
| rickc | yes i ran the SCSI utility in the BIOS to format the drive and then I formatted again in Windows to make an NTFS partition when that didnt' seem to work. The cable is terminated and it's a single drive, not a raid | 18:21 |
| === frecel_ is now known as frecel | ||
| kyle__ | rickc: I'm rather confused then. | 18:23 |
| kyle__ | rickc: Is this one of the systems where there's a connector on the mobo, but you have to add a scsi card into a backplane to use it? | 18:24 |
| rickc | yeah it's like a mini-itx board with the scsi card in the pci slot: Adaptec 2930LPE | 18:25 |
| daftykins | some RAID controllers still need a RAID driver to access the disk as JBOD | 18:25 |

| === anex is now known as Guest39993 | ||
| iatia | A bit suprised this is not a commonly known thing | 18:43 |
| puff | iatia: This is a problem with networkmanager, AFAIK. If you find a solution, let me know. | 18:44 |
| puff | iatia: I have a network manager patch that somebody gave me that prevents nm from scanning if you're actively connected. That seemed to help somewhat, but I still havfe problems with wifi dying. | 18:44 |
| iatia | Okay puff, crazy! | 18:44 |

| puff | iatia: Note, to use that you have to download the source package for network-manager (and also download the relevant dev tool packages), patch the source, build it with make, package into acustom .deb, and use that .deb. | 18:46 |
| puff | iatia: I logged all of the steps to do this a couple weeks ago, if you want a copy. | 18:47 |

| irskoh | Hello, i have an annoying package i installed, and i want to remove it - the thing is i stopped the installation in the middle because the installation always stuck but when i do "sudo apt-get remove" it says "run dpkg --configure -a" but then it'll be stuck again | 18:53 |
| irskoh | how do i force remove | 18:53 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: Just to check, so this tutorial does NOT recommend setting any TRIM options in /etc/fstab... is that not a good idea? | 18:54 |
| iancurtis | irskoh: have you tried forcing the dpkg --configure -a command? | 18:54 |
| irskoh | iancurtis: yeah.. when it goes into the evil package configuration its stuck again | 18:54 |
| irskoh | iancurtis: not becuase of dpkg itself | 18:55 |
| irskoh | iancurtis: the package is trying to download something and its impossible | 18:55 |
| irskoh | iancurtis: because the download link doesnt exist anymore | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: YOu can, you will also need to cron the task to cleanup the drive etc | 18:55 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: Thanks. | 18:56 |
| iancurtis | You might have the option to skip broken packages/links with dpkg. I would check the man page for you but I run Fedora. Check man dpkg. | 18:57 |
| Zoidberg2 | i dont understand the reasoning behind having restrictive permissions on /usr/share/themes and usr/share/icons | 18:58 |
| Zoidberg2 | its such a hassle to get themes working properly | 18:58 |
| Zoidberg2 | you have to changer permissions to two folders, and use two different configuration utilities to set up your theme | 19:00 |
| iancurtis | Ziodberg2: just use sudo to mv whatever files you want. The permissions system is necessary. | 19:00 |
| Zoidberg2 | lol | 19:00 |
| iancurtis | Also, you can use chmod to change whatever permissions you need to | 19:00 |
| tgm4883 | Zoidberg2, some (most?) apps also look in ~/ for stuff | 19:01 |
| Zoidberg2 | iancurtis: well i got the themes to work but for a newbie it would be such a frustrating hassle | 19:01 |
| Zoidberg2 | why not just default the permissions to 777 for those two folders? | 19:01 |
| Zoidberg2 | icons and themes | 19:01 |
| Zoidberg2 | in other words... | 19:01 |
| Zoidberg2 | im wondering what security risk there is by changing those permissions | 19:02 |
| puff | I'm editing /etc/fstab to mount a bunch of secondary partitions (mainly data partitions or other linux partitions that I want to be able to copy data to/from when booted into ubuntu). What fstab options are recommended? | 19:02 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: Security is a matter of defense in depth. | 19:02 |
| Zoidberg2 | puff take a look at/etc/mtab | 19:03 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: You're falling victim to one of the most classic blunders. The most famous of which is, "never count on security through obscurity." But only slightly less well-known is this: "never rely solely on perimeter security". | 19:04 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: Thanks. | 19:04 |

| jhutchins | puff: Also hardware. | 19:05 |
| eduardo__ | hello i need help with gub... i have two kernels and it always uses the old one ( i like to have two kernels just in case... one i know it works and the last one... | 19:06 |
| jhutchins | puff: I notice you asked about trim, I believe that is mostly for older SSDs, more modern ones handle those functions internally. | 19:06 |
| eduardo__ | it enters directly in the older kernel and i cant choose...it enters directly in login window... | 19:07 |
| DoctorMo_ | I'm having a hell of a time getting mysql installed and running correctly. I've been googling for 2 days, and I'm at a loss. Mysql was running, then the process randomly stopped, and now I can't start it. I tried 'sudo service mysql start' and got this output: https://gist.github.com/PeteMichaud/3e64444889e41cd50e0f | 19:09 |
| DoctorMo_ | so then I checked to make sure apparmor had a usr.sbin.mysqld file in the right place, and it does | 19:09 |
| theperfectpunk | i just created a hardlink to java sdk 1.6.0 | 19:09 |
| theperfectpunk | in /etc/alternatives | 19:09 |

| DoctorMo_ | I've also read that it could be a problem with my my.conf file, but I've checked for all the potential "wrong" entries, and none of them are in mine | 19:11 |
| theperfectpunk | anyone plz? | 19:11 |
| DoctorMo_ | this is crazy just to get wordpress working on a VPS 8/ | 19:11 |

| Zoidberg2 | you wont have to create a link to java | 19:12 |

| puff | DoctorMo_: Also, be warned, with wordpress you *must* keep on top of updating it, security holes are frequently found. | 19:13 |
| theperfectpunk | jhutchins: i googled it | 19:13 |
| DoctorMo_ | yeah, don't I know it. But this is a brand new installation | 19:13 |
| puff | jhutchins: How can I figure out if my SSD needs trim or not? | 19:13 |
| DoctorMo_ | and it was working for about half a day before this mysql issue came up puff | 19:13 |
| theperfectpunk | jhutchins: it's somewhat related to path set for the object file | 19:13 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: Yeah, I'm just telling you, you're getting on the wordpress security fix treadmill, start running. | 19:13 |
| theperfectpunk | but dunno what path to set | 19:13 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: Let me take a look at the error. | 19:13 |
| puff | jhutchins: It can be... sometimes JDK/JRE installations don't set up /etc/alternatives properly. | 19:14 |
| DoctorMo_ | you mean the logs or do you want me to give you something else puff? | 19:14 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: I'm looking at your pastebin, or I would be if I weren't here chatting :-). | 19:14 |
| jhutchins | puff: They should if they're official Ubuntu packages. | 19:14 |
| puff | jhutchins: Shoulda woulda coulda... in my experience, not always. | 19:15 |
| jhutchins | puff: If not, then the user needs to get help from the source. | 19:15 |
| puff | I'm finished editing my /etc/fstab, is there a way to get them to reload? Or better yet, to syntax-check them before actually loading them...? | 19:15 |

| puff | DoctorMo_: I don't see anything in your pastebin that indicates apparmor is actually the problem. | 19:21 |
| madrob | but that one is really old - should i comment on it or open a new one? | 19:22 |
| puff | madrob: Is it closed? | 19:22 |
| puff | madrob: I'm only guessing here, but probably you should add it to that bug. | 19:23 |
| madrob | puff: still open | 19:23 |
| puff | madrob: Hm, then again, if oyu're seeing it on a newer version... | 19:23 |
| DoctorMo_ | puff, yeah. That is literally all of the output though, there's nothing else, not even in the mysql.err or mysql.log files, it just says "start: Job failed to start" and then syslog ha what I pasted | 19:23 |
| DoctorMo_ | *has | 19:23 |
| madrob | and also, i'm not sure it's still gnome-panel as that bug suggests. it's probably something in unity by now... | 19:24 |
| puff | madrob: I'm not super-familair iwth ubuntu bug-tracking. Standard bug-tracking etiquette would be to add it to the existing bug if open, but since it's on a newer version of ubuntu... | 19:24 |
| llutz | eduardo__: what is the output of "grep GRUB_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub" | 19:24 |
| puff | madrob: Good point. | 19:24 |
| jhutchins | eduardo__: grub or grub2? | 19:24 |

| eduardo__ | jhutchins GRUB_DEFAULT="0"... i think grub but not sure | 19:24 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: Generally speaking, I like to log *everything* when I do something like this, so I can easily track what I did, etc. | 19:25 |

| DoctorMo_ | puff, it's a DO VPS, yeah | 19:27 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: It's possbile to back up the actual table files, yeah. Not a great idea, but possible. | 19:27 |

| maujhsn | Can a 16GB usb flash drive be created to have a persistence of 8192 MB using unetbootin? | 19:29 |
| jhutchins | DoctorMo_: You might try increasing the logging level in mysql. It's pretty low by defualt. | 19:29 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: They're stored in mysql's binary database format, which is theoretically recoverable, but not nearly as safe as mysqldump output. | 19:29 |
| puff | jhutchins: Good idea. | 19:29 |
| DoctorMo_ | yeah jhutchins, is that in my.conf ? | 19:29 |
| jhutchins | DoctorMo_: Yes. | 19:29 |

| DoctorMo_ | I changed one thing today though, I was seeing a deprecation warning about a setting in my.conf -- key_buffer should now be key_buffer_size Ithink it was, so I changed that, but that was after it stopped working | 19:36 |
| llutz | eduardo__: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.11.0-18.32 | 19:36 |

| DoctorMo_ | puff, er ok. So, I run mysqld and no output comes out (like it ran without errors I guess), and I see a bunch of apparmor entries like before, and no mysql process is running | 19:41 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: eclipse and intellij have python support. | 19:41 |
| eduardo__ | llutz nothing again | 19:41 |
| Zoidberg2 | im looking for a visual form building software where i can use a simple language like python or basic | 19:41 |
| balor | Zoidberg2, ah. Try MonoDevelop. Though there are other ways to do these things on Linux. You can load Glade files in Python....but you'll get to that eventually. Look at MonoDevelop first :) | 19:41 |
| Zoidberg2 | eclipse huh? | 19:42 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: How did you run mysqld? | 19:42 |
| Zoidberg2 | okay let me google these | 19:42 |
| Zoidberg2 | thanks guys | 19:42 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: Eclipse is like oracle... it's the 800 pound gorilla, but not as usable :-). | 19:42 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: Intellij doesn't have the massive support base, and it's closed source, but they have a free community edition and it's incredily usable. | 19:43 |
| llutz | eduardo__: did apt-get download the package or was the one from disk (archives) used? | 19:43 |
| puff | Zoidberg2: Eclipse has twice as many plugins and support for all kinds of crazy stuff. | 19:43 |
| balor | Zoidberg2, just "sudo apt-get install monodevelop" and you'll get it from the Ubuntu "app store". Someone here might be able to tell you the graphical way to do the same. | 19:44 |
| llutz | eduardo__: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic to make sure it download the package again | 19:44 |
| mtnbkr | Hey guys, got this error after a do-release-upgrade from 10.04.4LTS to 12.04 LTS http://pastebin.ca/2678849 | 19:45 |
| kostkon | Zoidberg2, try gambas | 19:45 |
| DoctorMo_ | puff looks like root owns it? but actually the only thing I see is "mysqld_safe" and "mysqld_multi" and I remember from the syslog that mysqld_safe was the thing apparmor was auditing | 19:45 |
| yebyen | if you have to blacklist a module such as 'ideapad_laptop.ko' at boot time with grub... should you add ideapad-laptop.blacklist=yes or ideapad_laptop.blacklist=yes ? | 19:46 |
| yebyen | neither seems to have any effect for me | 19:46 |
| mtnbkr | And now when I try to apt-get install libperl5.14 I get: http://pastebin.ca/2678852 | 19:46 |
| balor | Zoidberg2, kostkon: gambas is a Visual Basic classic style language. It may not be what you want | 19:46 |
| mtnbkr | Any help on the upgrade failure or steps to attempt to repair? | 19:46 |

| DoctorMo_ | mysqld_safe | 19:49 |

| eduardo__ | llutz: thats the problem.... i install kernels but it doesnt update in grub menus .... | 19:49 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: And /var/lib/mysql? | 19:50 |
| eduardo__ | llutz: perhaps permission problems ? only read is grub ? | 19:50 |
| DoctorMo_ | puff: owned by mysql | 19:50 |

| eduardo__ | no error... not found splash image...skipping | 19:52 |
| DoctorMo_ | wow, ok, that gives me something -- what exactly did that do? looks like a log dump with mysql highlighted | 19:52 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: dmesg is sort of like syslog, what that did was pipe dmesg output through the fgrep (fast grep) command and look for any lines with "mysql" in them. -i for case-insensitive. | 19:52 |
| llutz | eduardo__: ls -lt /boot/grub/ |head -2 | 19:52 |

| llutz | eduardo__: arghh... grub1 | 19:53 |
| DoctorMo_ | puff yes, I did | 19:53 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: One option, but let's save that as a last resort, is to reinstall the mysql package. Normally that should not disturb the config files and data files, but I'm not going to guarantee that, so make sure they're backed up, and let's try some other things first. | 19:53 |
| Jordan_U | eduardo__: You probably at some point installed the "grub" package, which installs grub legacy and removes grub2. Is this a BIOS based or UEFI based machine? | 19:54 |

| DoctorMo_ | https://gist.github.com/PeteMichaud/720c34f44f7d2fb0ba83 | 19:54 |
| llutz | eduardo__: your grub-installation seem to be mixing grub1 and grub2. "update-grub" is grub1 generating menu.lst, but bootmenu is grub2 grub.cfg | 19:54 |
| DoctorMo_ | the line is "mysql respawning too fast, stopped" | 19:54 |
| eduardo__ | Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/AR6WwzD3 | 19:54 |
| DoctorMo_ | that hit on google suggests changing the my.conf file, updating it basically. Seems weird to have to update a my.conf that was just installed with the package, but it's certainly possible | 19:55 |
| eduardo__ | Jordan_U dont know... normal desktop pc....it always went ok.. but one day it doesnt upgrade the kernel... i have the package but not in grub... | 19:56 |
| DoctorMo_ | puff, maybe if I paste my my.conf file you can see if it looks wrong or weird | 19:56 |

| eduardo__ | Jorean_U ls: no se puede acceder a /sys/firmware/efi/: No existe el archivo o el directorio | 19:58 |
| llutz | eduardo__:i'd do: sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub2 && sudo apt-get purge grub-legacy | 19:58 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: Also this might be relevant, since oyu're on a VPS: http://www.mlynn.org/2012/07/mysql-5-5-on-ubuntu-12-04-job-failed-to-start/ | 19:59 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: The guy found that mysql's default innodb buffer size was 128M and that was too big on his VPS. | 19:59 |

| eduardo__ | Jordan-U and llutz... now grep gives me something... | 20:02 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: As far as I can tell you have never answered my question on what you changed in mysql. | 20:03 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: You did the install as per the tutorial, typed "yes" to all the mysql_install prompts, and then...? | 20:03 |
| eduardo__ | Jordan-U http://pastebin.com/Q9rz7zJr | 20:03 |
| TechSmurf | puff: dovecot has largely replaced all other imap/pop daemons | 20:03 |
| puff | TechSmurf: Oh, cool. I should learn about that, I've been very interested in email protocols & serversin the past. | 20:04 |
| DoctorMo_ | I actually did way up there, but: the only thing I've changed in my.conf is after the server stopped working, and I was googling, one thing that was in my logs over and over was that "key_buffer" was deprecated and I should change it to "key_buffer_size" which I did, and the warning went away in the logs, but the problem was not fixed | 20:04 |
| ilhami | any networking guy here? | 20:04 |
| DoctorMo_ | other than that, I followed the tutorial to the letter, and changed nothing after the fact | 20:04 |
| puff | TechSmurf: In the distant past, when people still used mailing lists, I wanted to set up an annotatable, searchable mailinglist database. | 20:04 |
| TechSmurf | puff: today's most sane practices appear to be postfix+dovecot | 20:04 |
| puff | TechSmurf: Cool. | 20:05 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: Okay, the upstart errors just mean mysql isn't running so upstart can't connect to the server. | 20:05 |
| TechSmurf | but it gets a little more interesting than I'm used to when it involves ldap backends, vhosts, etc ;) | 20:06 |
| puff | DoctorMo_: That is, it means the mysql server (mysqld) is not listening on a socket, so upstart or whatever isn't getting an answer on that socket. | 20:06 |
| puff | TechSmurf: Oh yeah. | 20:06 |
| DoctorMo_ | puff yeah makes sense | 20:06 |
| puff | TechSmurf: It can get hairy, yeah. Just be glad you're dealing with LDAP and not, hm, what was it, X.25? | 20:07 |

| eduardo__ | usr13 what else do i have to do to test the latest kernel ? I have two kernels.. one older which i know it works and usually the last one.. | 20:17 |

| Jordan_U | eduardo__: It still looks a little odd, but when you boot your new kernel should be used. | 20:41 |
| eduardo__ | well i wanted to use the older kernel as default.... perhaps holding shift i could enter in menu and change the kernel.... | 20:42 |
| Jordan_U | eduardo__: Why do you want to use the older kernel? | 20:43 |
| eduardo__ | jordan_u because before i had only one kernel... and when a newer kernel got released.. i updated quickly...i have found trouble wiht xorg and drivers and many problems to boot | 20:44 |
| eduardo__ | now im save because if something goes wrong i have a lifeguard... the old kernel ;) | 20:45 |
| Jordan_U | eduardo__: You can hold shift at boot to select an older kernel, but for security reasons staying with an old kernel is not really a solution. | 20:45 |
| Jordan_U | eduardo__: It's possible to do, and not very difficult, but highly inadvisable. | 20:46 |
| eduardo__ | i dont want to have only one kernel... | 20:46 |
| eduardo__ | when im sure the newer kernel works fine.. i use it as default... and wait till new kernel comes out.. and so on... i always have a lifeguard kernel ejjjje | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | eduardo__: Ok, that's fine. That's how Ubuntu works by defualt. | 20:49 |

| eduardo__ | hahhahah | 20:50 |
| eduardo__ | in english i think .... laughs | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | eduardo__: So you hold shift during boot and you don't see the older kernel listed in the "Advanced options for Ubuntu" submenu? | 20:51 |
| eduardo__ | not til today... i havent reboot yet since all the things we made.... | 20:51 |
| eduardo__ | i only had the old kernel.... | 20:52 |

| gccster | guys when i run my laptop on battery (ubuntu 13.10) cpu scaling gets disabled and frequency gets stucked @ 800mhz anybody can help? | 21:16 |
| BassVI_96 | I'm starting to very much dislike 13.10 | 21:17 |
| kerdel | gccster, does scaling work when you aren't using your battery? | 21:18 |
| BassVI_96 | should I format the drive again, and go back to 12.04? | 21:18 |
| gccster | kerdel, yes it does | 21:18 |
| kerdel | What cpu scaling program do you use? | 21:19 |
| gccster | kerdel, indicator-cpufreq | 21:20 |
| kerdel | gccster, I've got some trouble with that one too, but does the clock go up with higher cpu usage? | 21:21 |
| gccster | kerdel, when i unplug the power cable i get this output from cpufreq-info current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz. | 21:21 |
| gccster | The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use | 21:21 |
| gccster | within this range. | 21:21 |
| gccster | current CPU frequency is 800 MHz. | 21:21 |
| gccster | kerdel, as you the cpu scaling max gets limited | 21:22 |
| kerdel | gccster, did you try switching the scales? | 21:22 |
| gccster | kerdel, indicator-cpufreq does not actually change the frequency | 21:23 |
| gccster | on battery | 21:23 |
| kerdel | gccster, is this maybe something you are looking for? http://askubuntu.com/questions/303882/maximum-cpu-frequency-stuck-at-low-value | 21:24 |

| kerdel | It might run slow (my opinion) | 21:33 |
| daftykins | Guest74033: can you confirm what RAM it has? | 21:33 |
| Guest74033 | Alright, it's just all that, except only 512 MB ram. | 21:33 |
| daftykins | oh dear, even worse | 21:33 |
| daftykins | i would say that'd need an upgrade to be sure, but you could give lubuntu a go | 21:33 |
| daftykins | for such an age system though, the money on RAM would be money for old rope = a waste | 21:33 |

| Pici | invinceable: it is not different than any other user's crontab, so yes. | 23:28 |
| sasha- | ok well this is interesting fraq, it has done the same thing on the external adapter... but my websockets based irc client is still working... | 23:29 |
| fraq | hmm... different hardware, different driver, I'm assuming? | 23:30 |

| zubuntu | i am on windows 7 now | 23:38 |
| daftykins | xguru: #ubuntu+1 | 23:38 |
| zubuntu | now i cannot see other partition | 23:39 |
| xguru | thanks | 23:39 |
| fraq | Sounds like ubuntu isn't handling 802.11 frames right on any hardware/driver combo | 23:39 |
| zubuntu | when i restart it boots directly to windows 7 | 23:39 |
| fraq | and that's been an issue as long as I can remember | 23:39 |
| zubuntu | when i pressed f5 or f8 it shows only windows 7 to boot not ubuntu | 23:39 |
| Rallyball | So, it doesn't give you the option to boot to unbuntu | 23:39 |
| zubuntu | it gave error | 23:39 |
| zubuntu | cant install grub | 23:39 |
| zubuntu | and then it restarted | 23:40 |
| zubuntu | but it doesnt let me open ubuntu | 23:40 |
| Rallyball | May have to re-iinstall but I'm not sure. | 23:40 |
| zubuntu | it looks like it didnt install ubuntu | 23:40 |
| Rallyball | I'm not an expert on this. | 23:40 |
| zubuntu | well everything was going good | 23:40 |
| Rallyball | Did you install 7 first? | 23:40 |
| zubuntu | at final step it gave error i dont know why :S | 23:40 |
| zubuntu | yes i installed 7 first | 23:40 |
| zubuntu | i ve never faced problem before | 23:41 |
| Rallyball | Sounds like windows deleted your ubuntu partition. | 23:41 |
| zubuntu | but after this unity crap everything ruined :S | 23:41 |
| Rallyball | Yeah, well that's the way it goes. | 23:41 |

| fraq | and not wlan0? | 23:42 |

| invinceable | temporary file. | 23:43 |
| fraq | my mac names things really weird, too. | 23:43 |
| sasha- | tested both the internal and external card btw | 23:43 |
| invinceable | ***** /growth/growth/testscript.sh | 23:43 |
| sasha- | *yup it's a macbook | 23:43 |
| Rallyball | Anybody know usb access? | 23:43 |
| bekks | invinceable: thats intended. the temp file is checked for syntx errors before it get copied to the "real" crontab file. | 23:43 |
| bekks | invinceable: Does you script use full paths? | 23:43 |
| invinceable | bekks: how often is it copied to the "real" crontab? | 23:44 |
| bekks | invinceable: if it doesnt, it will not work as expected. | 23:44 |
| bekks | invinceable: It will be checked and copied (or not copied) whenever you call crontab -e | 23:44 |
| Beldar | zubuntu, You have a live cd/usb to run? | 23:44 |
| invinceable | bekks: no, the script looks like "ruby test.rb" | 23:44 |
| bekks | invinceable: Then your script will not perform as expected. using cron, there is no user environment, not PATH defined, nothing. | 23:44 |
| invinceable | bekks: so i call "crontab -e" and it is empty. i presume this means that it was not copied properly? | 23:45 |
| zubuntu | yes Beldar | 23:45 |
| zubuntu | i ve | 23:45 |
| invinceable | bekks: ok, so fully define ruby's path as well then? gotcha | 23:45 |
| bekks | invinceable: Your attempt contained errors so it was not copied. | 23:45 |
| bekks | invinceable: "* * * * * /growth/growth/testscript.sh" would be correct. | 23:45 |
| Beldar | !bootinfo | zubuntu post the text from in a pastebin | 23:45 |
| ubottu | zubuntu post the text from in a pastebin: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 23:45 |
| invinceable | bekks: that is what i have, i meant my testscript.sh file does not use full paths. | 23:46 |
| bekks | invinceable: Define _every_ path fully. _never_ use relative paths. | 23:46 |
| Rallyball | Any other chats for ubuntu? | 23:46 |
| bekks | invinceable: Yeah, that applies for every script called by crontab, too. | 23:46 |
| fraq | Rallyball: #ubuntu-server | 23:47 |
| Rallyball | Thanks fraq. | 23:47 |
| fraq | but that's all that I can provide with my limited knowledge :) | 23:47 |
| fraq | I'm a network engineer who just hangs out in here to try to get some knowledge by osmosis | 23:47 |
| Beldar | Rallyball, For chat #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:47 |
| zubuntu | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=RfKvQvFd | 23:48 |
| zubuntu | here is results.txt | 23:48 |
| invinceable | bekks: ok so i have ***** /growth/growth/testscript.sh that i wrote after calling sudo crontab -e, | 23:48 |
| bekks | invinceable: ***** is wrong. there have to be whitespace in between. | 23:49 |
| zubuntu | Beldar: i better re-install it | 23:49 |
| zubuntu | but | 23:49 |
| zubuntu | it asks me u didnt chose to swap partition.. | 23:49 |
| zubuntu | how will i choose to swap ? | 23:49 |
| invinceable | bekks: that is what i meant. there is whitespace in between. and there is whitespace between the permissions and the filename. | 23:49 |
| zubuntu | there was no option about that | 23:49 |
| Beldar | zubuntu, You installed Jaunty? | 23:49 |
| bekks | invinceable: Permissions? | 23:49 |
| bekks | invinceable: in crontab, you do not define any permissions. | 23:50 |
| invinceable | bekks: sorry, schedule. | 23:50 |
| zubuntu | Beldar: newly i was installing and there was option " install 3rd party softwares " ..etc | 23:50 |
| zubuntu | i chose that one | 23:50 |
| invinceable | bekks: my mistake. | 23:50 |
| zubuntu | maybe it tried to install something ? | 23:50 |
| bekks | invinceable: Yeah, and every path in your script has to be a full path. Literally every path. | 23:50 |
| invinceable | bekks: i have updated all the scripts to use the full path. | 23:50 |
| invinceable | bekks: so in ruby there is a function called require_relative that grabs the full path and prepends it to the file name... no idea why i would have to change that as it is embedded in the ruby files. | 23:51 |
| zubuntu | Beldar: i am on windows 7 at the moment | 23:51 |
| bekks | invinceable: thats out of interest :) | 23:51 |
| zubuntu | before windows use to show me menu in boot section to choose which to boot but now it doesnt show :S | 23:52 |
| sasha- | fraq: ok I'm at a loss at how to filter these L2 issues | 23:52 |
| bekks | invinceable: but "ruby file.rb" should be "/full/path/to/ruby /full/path/to/file.rb" - the ruby code itself, unless you specify filenames, can be left unchanged. | 23:52 |
| zubuntu | why cant i use windows bootloader menu instead of ubuntu's menu ? | 23:52 |
| invinceable | bekks: i guess my main concern right now is why when i run crontab -e the initial command is not even showing up (regardless if the full paths of the ruby files are being included or not). like i said the only line in my testscript.sh is "/home/ubuntu/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/bin/ruby /growth/growth/main.rb" which is a full path. so i am not sure why after writing out that with nano it would not copy to crontab | 23:53 |
| Beldar | zubuntu, I see no 12.04 install. Just jaunty, XP, W7. | 23:53 |
| bekks | invinceable: do you quit nano like ctrl-o ctrl-x ? | 23:53 |
| invinceable | bekks: yep, i have the full file path which is why i am confused as to why it is not copying to the cronjob | 23:53 |
| invinceable | bekks: yes. | 23:53 |
| invinceable | bekks: ctrl-o to write out, ctrl-x to save, is that the problem? | 23:53 |
| bekks | invinceable: Is the filesystem (/) writeable? | 23:54 |
| zubuntu | Beldar: what ? | 23:54 |
| zubuntu | results.txt was not mine | 23:54 |
| invinceable | bekks: how do i check that? do you mean is the crontab file writable? the answer to that i presume would be yes as it tells me i have written lines to the file when called via sudo crontab -e | 23:54 |
| fraq | sasha-: wireshark is an art and filtering ethernet even more so, unfortunately | 23:54 |
| invinceable | bekks: so it is writing to that file at least | 23:54 |
| bekks | invinceable: run "mount" as roor. | 23:54 |
| bekks | *root | 23:55 |
| zubuntu | let me boot from live usb | 23:55 |
| zubuntu | brb | 23:55 |
| fraq | sasha-: use this guide to help you filter wifi traffic down to something more manageable http://wiki.wireshark.org/Wi-Fi | 23:55 |
| invinceable | bekks: several lines come up, what am i looking for? | 23:55 |
| fraq | wireshark sees 802.11 as something different from ethernet, which threw me the first time I tried it | 23:56 |
| bekks | invinceable: Can you pastebin the output? | 23:56 |
| invinceable | bekks: http://pastie.org/8965890 | 23:56 |
| bekks | invinceable: line 2 indicates that / is writeable. BUT: as can be seen in line 2, you are on a virtual server. Maybe you do not have the priviledges to use crontab. | 23:57 |
| invinceable | bekks: darn, that is not good. | 23:58 |
| bekks | invinceable: It is just a "maybe", you should investigate that before proceeding. | 23:58 |
| invinceable | bekks: will do, thank you for your help. provided i do have privileges to use crontab, and there are no mistakes with my shell script, it should automatically copy over right? | 23:59 |
| bekks | invinceable: yes. | 23:59 |
