tableshow do i do it with one command?00:19
tableswithout getting the password prompt00:19
warluIs there any workaround? I've tried just about everything.00:19

crouton-userHi. Would anyone be willing to help a keen to learn novice with an external ext4 hard drive partition that doesn't have exec privilidges? Running crouton Ubuntu 13.10 on a Chromebook. I've tried the fixes that I've found online but although they don't give any error when I run them from terminal they don't seem to fix the permissions. I ideally want to change the permissions on one folder recursively00:27
zzxcwarlu: Did you try plugging up through the port on the intergreated card?00:27
zzxcmdev chown root:admin msg0000.doc00:28

zubuntuhello anybody ?00:43
xparanoikzubuntu do you know if your system runs on UEFI or legacy BIOS ?00:44
zubuntuhow can i find out xparanoik ?00:44
zubuntuit has BIOS for sure00:44
zubuntuit s windows laptop00:45
xparanoikwhen you boot your computer you should be able to see it, if it is a pretty new laptop then it's probably UEFI00:45
zubuntuit s about 3-4 yrs old laptop00:45
zubuntulenovo thinkpad edge 1300:45
zubuntuit was DOS free when i bought it00:46
zubuntuand i installed 700:46
zubuntunow ubuntu00:46
zubuntuother day i formatted00:46
zubuntuand clean installed 700:46
zubuntuand now ubuntu00:46
zubuntuit should show the menu to choose which OS to run in startup00:47
zubuntubut it doesnt show ?S00:47
zubuntualso i tried to run boot-repair in ubuntu live usb00:47
xparanoikthat can happen when you install ubuntu and windows00:47
zubuntuit didnt work00:47
xparanoikit didn't? hmm00:47
xparanoikthat's what I was going to suggest you do00:47
zubuntuit suppose to show me menu after repair finished and restarted but it s still same00:48
xparanoikcheck your bios and see if the ubuntu option is there (in case it's UEFI)00:48
zubuntuhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair00:48
zubuntuxparanoik:  there s no ubuntu  option in bios00:49
zubuntulet me try this boot repair again00:50
xparanoikboot-repair has a couple of options, sometimes when there is an error you can try different options00:51
zubuntuwhich option to apply?00:51
xparanoikbut if it's a legacy bios, then just installing grub on the MBR should suffice00:51
zubunturecommended repair or advanced00:51
xparanoikrecommended00:51
zubuntuit said installing grub while installing ubuntu already00:52
xparanoiklater on there are a couple of options (i haven't done this in months)00:52
zubuntulet me try recommended repair then00:52
zubuntuit asks me something about pastebin00:52
zubuntuenabling bootinfo00:53
zubuntuwb Beldar00:53

xparanoikzubuntu i didn't see any error messages, just info00:56

xparanoikzubuntu see which boot options are available on your bios00:56
zubuntuso what should i do now ?00:56
zubuntuah wait00:56
amigamagicI would like to say that the "deadline" I/O scheduling algorithm is a very bad choice for a standard ubuntu desktop distro00:56
zubuntu1st boot device was set to usb to install windows and ubuntu00:56
zubuntudoes it make sense to u xparanoik  ?00:56
zubuntui should change it to HDD i think00:57
xparanoikyes00:57
zubuntuok then00:57
zubuntusee u after restart00:57
amigamagicon my system, the responsiveness of the gui (ubuntu 12.04 LTS) was very VERY bad when there were consistent hard disk operations...00:58
amigamagicsorry, the gui is gnome classic, the system is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS00:58
haThey guys in the terminal, this is my name montre@linx:~/home$00:58
haTif i want to change the linx part00:59
haThow do i do it ?00:59
xparanoikhaT http://askubuntu.com/questions/87665/how-do-i-change-the-hostname-without-a-restart00:59
amigamagicI solved the problem by changing the I/O scheduling to the classic CFQ... Now is near responsive as a Windows machine00:59
haTohh ok01:00
amigamagicI think "deadline" scheduling algorithm is best suited for very fast SSD hard drive or for database servers01:00
haTso that's the host name01:00
amigamagicbut it shouldn't be the "default" scheduling of a normal ubuntu distro!01:00
zubuntuxparanoik:  are u there ?01:00
zubuntuit works now :)01:01
zubuntuGRUB bootloader menu01:01
zubuntuis it possible to turn it back to windows bootloader menu ?01:01
lorenzohi! do you know if mate 1.8 is in the repos?01:03
zubuntuis there a way to go back to normal boot startup menu  instead of GRUB ?01:04

lorenzoalso , what would you recommend for mint? install a plain ubuntu first then mint on it?01:06

Sir_LetoAnyone familiar with boot-repair01:09
amigamagicI tried to install cinnamon after ubuntu, but it was very bad... Many icons and various things missing01:09
amigamagic(or maybe it was mate desktop, I don't remember)01:10
Beldaramigamagic, Which ubuntu release was this?01:10
lorenzowell I'll try, the night is long01:10
lorenzo:>01:10
amigamagicBeldar ubuntu is 12.04 LTS01:10
amigamagicnow I remember: it was cinnamon01:11
amigamagicafter installing it from an ubuntu 12.04 LTS reverted to gnome classic, the cinnamon start menu was very bad01:11
amigamagicwith many icons missing01:11
Beldaramigamagic, Neither mate nor cinnamon were in the 12.04 repos, those were *PPA's not supported here, and it does not help to make random this didn't work minus a context.01:12
amigamagicBeldar, it wasn't a critic at ubuntu01:13
=== CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away
amigamagicit was only an observation from my experience on installing it01:14
Beldaramigamagic, No biggie, however my point is, this is support not your blog.01:14
amigamagicthe critic that I address to ubuntu 12.04 LTS is the 'deadline' I/O scheduler01:14
amigamagicis very bad for a desktop machine with a traditional hard disk (not SSD)01:15
=== tech is now known as Guest76695
amigamagictry to revert to a more classic CFQ scheduler and you will see BIG improvements in responsiveness when you copy some big file or watch some videos01:16
lorenzoamigamagic, where did you learn those things?01:16
lorenzoI barely know what a scheduler does01:16
amigamagiclorenzo, there was a time when I modded the linux scheduler01:17
amigamagicfor an exam at my university01:17
nreynolds_hi\01:17
nreynolds_hi01:17
amigamagicbut it was MANY years ago01:17
amigamagicnow I'm doing all my research using google and experimenting myself... :D01:18
nreynolds_anyone here have some experience with ubuntu studio 13.10,  the ubuntu studio channel is dead01:18
lorenzonice :D01:18
amigamagiclorenzo, the problem is that I couldn't accept that a Windows machine could be MUCH faster than a Linux machine01:19
amigamagicat basic tasks01:19
amigamagiclike copy a big file01:19
Beldarnreynolds_, There is this channel too, #opensourcemusicians01:20
amigamagicso, I googled, tried messing with system options and configuration files, and I found that the default I/O scheduler of Ubuntu 12.04 was very bad for a desktop distro01:20
Laslo7Is there a better RDP client than remmina?01:21
lorenzoLaslo7, try vinagra01:21
nreynolds_is this the support channel for ubuntu?01:21
amigamagicI use X2GO as server and client01:21
lorenzoLaslo7, * vinagre01:21
amigamagicvery fast01:21
lorenzoremmina works fine here, besides from some issues with Windows Server 201201:22
nreynolds_Beldar, I have more of a ubuntu question then a A/V based question01:22
Laslo7I have been using remmina.  I just reinstalled and thought to see if there were better options01:23
lorenzoLaslo7, if it works, stick with it01:23
lorenzoI use it on a daily basis and it's quite nice once you set it up with favourites01:23
Laslo7Thanks for the info.01:24
nreynolds_I installed ubuntu studio 13.10 to take advantage of the tweaks already in place, however I want to use Unity as my daily DE, I've run into some problems01:24
boyle有人?01:25
amigamagicif by chance someone want to check what I/O scheduler your ubuntu uses, you can do the following: "cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler"01:25
nreynolds_Anyone else tried installing unity under Ubuntu Studio 13.1001:25
Laslo7amigamagic: noop [deadline] cfq01:27
amigamagicLaslo7 so you use 'deadline' scheduler01:27
amigamagicthat is very bad for normal hdd01:27
amigamagicif you have an SSD drive, then it's good01:28
Laslo7I am running a SSD01:28
RefinersFireI am having an odd problem with Ubuntu Server 12.04... I can't wget or ping ANY .org addresses... I have tried .com and .net and they're okay, but NO .org will work... I get, "wget: unable to resolve host address `owncloud.org' " or whatever address I try.01:28
lorenzoRefinersFire, other machines working fine?01:30
RefinersFireyes01:30
amigamagicI think Ubuntu distros should stick with a solid cfq scheduler. Maybe it should automatically change to a deadline scheduler only if the system detects you are using an ssd drive.01:31
lorenzoRefinersFire, looks like a bad dns server to me01:31
lorenzotry adding 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 or other (like opendns)01:32
lorenzoin your network config01:32
Laslo7The 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are google's dns servers01:32
RefinersFireI will try lorenzo01:33
lorenzoyes01:33
lorenzoLaslo7, that's why I said "or other"01:33
amigamagicif someone want to check "in realtime" (without reset your pc) if another I/O scheduler is better for your system, it's very easy: "echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler" and you will use cfq instead of deadline scheduler.01:34
amigamagicbut you should change /etc/default/grub too if you want to make the change permanent01:35
zubuntuhi01:36

adrenalinkHello! This is a tricky issue: I have an ubuntu installation on a hard disk A and a debian installation in hard disk B.  Each hard disk has a bootloader installed on it, so that changing boot priority from bios let me load the bootloader from hard disk A or B. THE QUESTION is: Why the Ubuntu partition give me an error on mounting its /home while the debian one start successfully?02:07
googchenghi, all! how to degrade 12.04.4 to 12.04.3?02:07
Beldargoogcheng, No standard way.02:08
googchengBeldar, is there a way02:08
Callenwipe and start over id assume02:09
Beldargoogcheng, Not that I know of.02:09
varunendragoogcheng, perhaps something 'similar' is possible, depending upon why you need it.02:09
thoonaiheyho, I want to execute a command as another user with sudo. Now I have two questions: 1. where do I can find some good example rules? 2. Can I get the user id from the user which is executing the sudo foobar command?02:11
googchengvarunendra, i run 12.04.4 now but graph image broken, the kernel is 3.10.1802:11
varunendragoogcheng, looks like you did an 'upgrade', because the point-release of 12.04.4 comes with kernel 3.1102:14
varunendra!nomodeset | googcheng02:15
ubottugoogcheng: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter02:15

dreamerhi all, one of my desktops running 13.04 has a firefox (26.0) that instantly segfaults. reinstall of the package didn't fix it, so now I'm dead in the water. any ideas on how to debug/fix?10:12
cfhowlettdream_code, 13.04 has reached end of life and is no longer supported.  consider your options10:14
dreameruntil 14.04 is released we won't build a new image for our usersw so until then I'm stuck with it10:15
cfhowlettdreamer, install chromium-browser10:17
dreamernot like it segfaults on all my systems, just on this particular one10:17

platypusActionParsnip, it is the same: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7150680/11:01
ActionParsnipplatypus: are there any bugs reported?11:02
ActionParsnipplatypus: you could use an addon to your web browser and download videos that way11:02
ActionParsnipplatypus: is your intention to rip the audio from the video once downloaded?11:03
cfhowlettplatypus, there are plenty of firefox plugins to download YT video11:04
ActionParsnipplatypus: do yu wnat only the audio, ultimately?11:04
platypusActionParsnip, I have the fantastic WinFF for audio, I do audios with it. I also have firefox addons for video, but not all of them worked somehow, and the one that works always gets stuck while doing audio (which I actually dont need for I have winFF as mentioned)11:05
KingArthur55solved!11:05

emxi updated to ubuntu 13.10. now apache doesn't seem to include my configurations from /etc/apche2/sites-enabled11:07
red234324ActionParsnip, had a look at that link then opened FF about:config and created browser.cache.disk.parent_directory and set it to /tmp/firefox and tmp is already in RAM - so I think on reboot that should put ff cache into RAM - does that sound about right to you to?11:07
emxwhat can i do?11:07
ActionParsnipred234324: why do you need to reboot?11:07
red234324just assuming ActionParsnip11:08
ActionParsnipred234324: you will need a command to run at boot to recreate and chown the folder to your user. Contents in RAM are lost at reboot, including your subfolder11:08
platypusActionParsnip, but I have no problem ripping audios, as I said. the problem is my firefox addon downloads video and subsequently rips audio. however, the latter always jams the browser, when I dont even need it, as I can rip audio with WinFF if I want to.11:08
platypusin short, I need a video-only downloader.11:09
ActionParsnipplatypus: doesn't minitube do youtube downloads?11:09

miraj9093guest0292: i mean want to install..12:01
madridpenis12:01
DJonesmadrid: No thanks you12:02
guest0292miraj9093:  You will need to extract the drivers from the zip using an archiver or use wine to install them and find the .inf and .sys files.  Then install ndisgtk (sudo apt-get install ndisgtk) to actually install the driver .inf/.sys files.  This is the only way i'm familiar with.  Maybe an easier way...12:06
guest0292miraj9093:  Finally, run the network manager to activate your device.  Even then there's no guarantee the dongle will work as it's always best to use hardware compatible with linux drivers.12:08

zymogensAnyone know what might be going on here. I have a VPS with UFW enabled - It blocks incoming by default. ‘ufw status’ says it is active and only allows connections on 22 from anywhere. It is blocking nginx without a problem. However my mongo shell on my home pc can connect remotely to it (the VPS) no probs - Not sure how that is possible? It seems like it is letting some things through?13:58

Emily92llutz_ i can connect to my server with the key i generated for john14:01
RoryThis isn't about being prompted for a password, this is about sudo hanging after the 4th of 5th consecutive run14:01

The drive is present in the Disk Utility selector but whenever I try to watch movies etc on there nothing happens. Presumably the problem is the disk drive not mounting the disks and stuff15:53
cfhowlettDomincii, you're installing windows INSIDE ubuntu?15:54
philinuxDomincii;~ or are you trying to share files on a win disk15:55
Dominciicfhowlett, Im trying to boot a windows install disk but when I try to run the installation iso from GRUB it just boots straight into Ubuntu, skipping the disk installation altogether.15:55
Dominciiphilinux that reply is to you too15:55
cfhowlettDomincii, you MUST specify to the machine bios that it boots the windows install disk.15:56
Dominciicfhowlett, how can I do that? I'm not great with computers15:56
LaykeHi. Is it possible to have two of my network interfaces up, but of which is connected to the internet, however, be able to specify which one I use to connect out? One of the interfaces is actually used for my LAN15:56
cfhowlettDomincii, during power on self test, a message will appear "to change boot options, hit F something"15:57
b3rz3rk3rDomincii, go into the BIOS and set the windows disk to be first boot device15:57
LaykeAnd I need to be able to connect to other systems on the same gateway, however, I don't want to actually use the ISP provided through that interface.15:57
Dominciicfhowlett, b3rz3rk3r I've already done that15:57
cfhowlettDomincii, I doubt it.  otherwise the drive would have  booted.15:57
b3rz3rk3rDomincii, then it is not set as bootable and your pc is defaulting to next device15:57
cfhowlettunless the drive itself has failed.  try this.  disable all drives EXCEPT the disk drive with windows.15:58
philinuxDomincii;~ is the win disk in a dvd player15:58
Dominciib3rz3rk3r cfhowlett, when I run the disk on my windows laptop it boots perfectly but when I do it from my Ubuntu PC it doesn't work15:58
Dominciiphilinux yes it is15:58
cfhowlettDomincii, you're confusing the issue.  during power on NEITHER OS is running.15:59
philinuxDomincii;~ to eliminate. try an ubuntu livd disk in the same dvd player16:00
philinuxDomincii;~ if that boots then dvd player ok16:00
Dominciicfhowlett when I open my BIOS options my number 1 boot option is the CD/DVD drive, when I save the changes the PC boots into Ubuntu, when I force a GRUB entry and try to boot from the disk that way it again boots into Ubuntu, when I try to press F11 to enter the BIOS boot menu and manually choose the disk again it boots into Ubuntu16:01
b3rz3rk3rDomincii, it sounds like you have burned an image to a physical disk and now it won't boot from it after BIOS. In which case you have not set the disk to be bootable.16:01
filiCIAO16:02
Dominciib3rz3rkr3r when I use the disk from my Windows laptop it creates the installation prompt, is there any way to check it's been installed correctly?16:02
cfhowlettDomincii, this is the original windows disk?16:02
b3rz3rk3rDomincii, Yes, it will show up with the files when you are in an OS, but computers won't be able to boot from it.16:02
b3rz3rk3rDomincii, have you tried to boot it in another machine?16:02
Dominciicfhowlett no its an iso I've manually burnt to the disk, b3rs3rk3r I've not, I'll do so now to check16:03
cfhowlettDomincii, test it in a different machine16:03
b3rz3rk3rDomincii, 99.9% chance you haven't set it as bootable. You need to re-read the guide you followed and make sure you get the bootflag set correctly16:03

afreidah2hoping somebody can help me figure out if what I am trying to do is possible and if I am doing something stupid:  I had an ubuntu physical machine running windows XP inside of virtualbox.  Everything worked as expected.  I want to be able to run this whole setup off of a usb drive.  I used remastersys to create an iso file of the ubuntu machine and then dd'ed it to the usb drive.  I am able to boot straight18:15
afreidah2to the usb drive and virtualbox is present and can see the windows XP machine, but whenever I try to start the XP vm I get errors: VD: error VERR_DISK_FULL.  Failed to attach driver below us! Disk is full.       There is currently 1.8 gb of free space left on the usb stick and the windowsxp vdi file is 3.6 gb.  To boot the vm does virtualbox require grabbing additional disk space or somethin?18:15

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.19:38

jaapiofor example green is shown pink in this image http://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/1392816987.png20:22
Jordan_Ujaapio: Pictures showing up with the wrong color is generally an issue with ICC color profiles. I've only encountered it that bad with a monitor that reported completely bogus ICC information to the OS.20:22

jaapiowhich is not the case20:23
Jordan_Ujaapio: So you'll notice that you're *more* likely to see the issue on professionally made pictures, where color matters, as they'll actually have an ICC color profile rather than only having RGB values.20:23
mustmodifyHow do I concatenate to stdout-puts? like ... `tail -n1 file.csv` + `tail -n 200 file.csv | head -n 20`20:23
Jordan_Ujaapio: I expect that color profiles can be configured per-user. So figure out where they're stored and rename / reset them for the problematic user.20:25

FulciLivesWell I did the a+x thing but it is still behaving the same: http://i.imgur.com/CQqeDIV.png22:22
daftykinsFulciLives: heh you're trying to run stuff in your VM but there are no files in your home directory for anything to work, so i don't think there's anything wrong :)22:22
bekksnono: Well, did you read the vmware documentation on what those networking modes actually mean?22:22
daftykinsFulciLives: do you understand what i meant when i said "/home/fulcilives/" = "~" ?22:22
spjtFulciLives: ...22:22
daftykinsFulciLives: type "ls -al" right now, you will see any *hidden* files in your home folder22:22
hillaryHi all, when i write sudo apt-get update i get "sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins" ubuntu 12.04.22:23
tnk1Bashing-om, i will just reboot now and see if it comes up on 3.11 - that should be the more recent, right?22:23
hillary It just started when i was grant read write to some directories22:23
spjtFulciLives: It says ~ because ~ is a shorthand for /home/fulcilives22:23
daftykinsFulciLives: now type "echo test > textfile" and "ls" you will see "textfile"22:23
hillarywhere could have messed?22:23
tnk1Bashing-om, brb22:23

Bashing-omtnk1: Does not look real bad, I reseave my opinion till I see what kernels are presently availabale -> ls -la /boot <- .22:23
seednodedaftykins, for the purpose of that test, wouldn't touch textfile have sufficed?22:23
daftykinsseednode: how many ways do you think there are to achieve any given task on a computer?22:24
FulciLivesSo I'm in my "home" directory then? http://i.imgur.com/ubCa5HM.png22:24

FulciLivesI'm so stupid, huh?22:24
daftykinsFulciLives: "pwd" which i told you to run - "print working directory" confirms this22:24

hillary"sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/google"22:24

FulciLivesahhh okay I see now what pwd is doing or saying22:25
FulciLivesGee I'm sorry guys22:25
bekkshillary: Thata very bad idea. A very very bad one.22:25
FulciLivesThanks for the help22:25
daftykinsseednode: ok, appreciate the input - but please reduce it to actual critical things such as where i fly off the handle and tell a user to nuke their system ;)22:25
delinquentmeso I've been doing some algo design for hadoop. At current I've been using $ cat testfile | ./mapper.py  to check the progress on the output22:25
spjtFulciLives: I should know by now when someone says something "doesn't work" to ask what it does22:25
seednodedaftykins, it's just a question22:25
seednodeWas wondering if echo is better for some reason22:25
bekkshillary: You should consider reinstalling everything that is installed under /opt/google22:25
daftykinsoh you were actually asking - ok22:25
delinquentmethough with this new exercise we need to use 2 files as inputs ... how can I do this in a similar manner?22:26
beandogFulciLives: dude, don't sweat it, at all ... it's all good :)22:26
beandognoobs ftw22:26
hillarybekks :oops how do i go about?22:26
delinquentmeI attempted to pass both files using cat as a directory  $ cat dir/* | ./mapper.py ... to no luck22:26
FulciLivesI'll idle while I play around some more in case I have more questions heh but yes thanks again all.22:26
bekkshillary: Most likely, using the software center or your package management system.22:26
skjoneswhere can i find the daily builds / beta of ubuntu 14.04?22:26
daftykinsspjt: btw please don't be too quick to throw around permission commands... especially when nothing's wrong ;)22:27
bekkshillary: Actually, you messed up permissions under /opt/google22:27
daftykinsskjones: google22:27
spjtdaftykins: It would only have set them to the default.22:27
* kelpie brings the donuts, says "hi"22:27
daftykinsunnecessary = unnecessary :)22:27
hillarybekks: ok. any terminal command i can run to correct the anormaly?22:28
bekkshillary: chmod -R is irreversible. Uninstall all applications under /opt/google and reinstall them.22:28
Bashing-omtnk1: OK, caught up, have you now rebooted ? all looks fair, may have a bunch of ancillary stuff to deal with, basic system looks good. we do some clean up soonest.22:28
hillaryok22:28
beandogbekks: well, I dunno about *irreverisble*22:29
beandogdifficult to restore to its native state, sure22:29
bekksbeandog: Impossible, without reinstalling.22:29
beandogbut if you know which files were supposed to be executable22:29
beandogthen you could fix it22:29
bekksbeandog: If you knew that, you would not have used chmod -R22:30

beandog^^ fixxor to normal22:30
bekksbeandog: LOL, no.22:30
beandogbut you'd still have to chmod +x the binaries (whatever they are)22:30

zeroRooterif i want to have some fun with the ubuntu src, should i be learning C or C++ or both?22:30

beandogbekks: I don't even know what the program is in /opt/google, so I could be totally off base.22:31
bekksbeandog: What about binaries being 0555 or even setuid'22:31
zeroRooterspjt, i'd like to contribute in some way, and the only language i'm fluent in is java and java for the desktop is a joke22:31
bekksbeandog: Reinstalling those applications is the only safe way to get them working properly again.22:31

bekksbeandog: Ask hillary, not me :)22:33
spjtzeroRooter: Depends what part you want to work on. The kernel stuff is C, the GUI stuff is probably more C++, but a lot of the ubuntu-specific stuff is Python.22:33
bekkstymat: No, why?22:33
seednodetymat, wait, are you seriously using a 28-port unpowered USB hub?22:33

sydneyJDykstraHow long will it take to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 using a flashdrive?22:33
tymatthis is the same exact hardware22:33
bekkstymat: The limit is 28. And thats a theoretical one, sonce you have to have an external power source for the hub.22:34

hwamokp66Hi, how do i access my site through FTP? I have been tinkering through Putty and SSH22:38
bekkshwamokp66: Install a FTP server.22:38
spjthwamokp66: You might just want to use sftp22:38
hillarybbekks: I cannot access even Synaptic package manager. It vibrates and disappear!!!22:38
hwamokp66spjt: is there a package i can use apt-get isntall for?22:38
spjthwamokp66: If you have ssh, you should have sftp already22:39
bekkshillary: Did you run another chmod -R command, accidentially?22:39
hwamokp66spjt: so i should use the ip of my server and the account info for my root user?22:39
bekks!root | hwamokp6622:39
ubottuhwamokp66: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo22:39
spjthwamokp66: It might not work for root. Try "sftp user@host" where user is the username and host is the hostname22:40
hwamokp66I want to use filezilla, is this possible?22:40
bekkshwamokp66: sure.22:40
hwamokp66what are the steps i need to do for that?22:40
bekksInstall it, start it.22:41
hillarybekks:yes i did i have seen. But this was on some files in usr/lib which i neede to write data to them22:41
hwamokp66i have filezilla, i know my ip adress, idk what i put in for he user and pass22:41
bekkshillary: As a user, you never need to do that. I suspect, you messed up even more.22:41
spjthwamokp66: your username and password on that machine22:41
hwamokp66spjt: so isnt htat my root account for the ssh? same info?22:42
tymatConclusion: Ubuntu still sucks.  Goodbye22:42
hillarybut when i do using su everything goes well.22:42
bekkshwamokp66: By default, there is no root account accesible using ftp or ssh.22:42
hwamokp66bekks: so how do i set up a ftp server? i have no cpanel. I'm running the server myself22:42
bekkshillary: su implies that you set a root password set as well. Do you have more desasters to tell us?22:42
bekkshwamokp66: you can use sftp which is already running.22:43
bekkshwamokp66: just use your username, your password and port 22 - in filezilla22:43
hwamokp66bekks: worsk great! thanks. the 22 is the ssh port?22:43
bekkshwamokp66: Yes.22:44
hillarybekks: yes i did set root password. Indeed i have messed up i can see.!!22:44
bekkshillary: I suggest a clean reinstallation of the entire system then.22:44

hwamokp66beandog: oh gotcha, thanks22:46
beandog:)22:46
hwamokp66i can change permissions through sftp right?22:46
beandogdepends on your client22:46
hwamokp66filezilla?22:46
bekkshwamokp66: if your user hass the permissions to change permissions, yes.22:47
hwamokp66its the root!22:47
hillarybekks: Since i can work from the root is okay i continue working from root?22:47

hillarybekks: infact when i write su put password and invoke apt-get update it runs well22:50
hwamokp66bekks: I will make another acocunt and disable the root. I haven't had the time to make the server a little more secture yet! :D thanks for the help22:50
bekkshillary: Since you said that you messed up even more permissions, and opened up the root account, I am resting your case. My only advice is to entirely reinstall that machine.22:51
spjtzeroRooter: You might want to try okular22:51
zeroRooterok22:51
zeroRooteri can't live without highlighting ^_^22:51
lickalottGents, has anyone installed CAC certificates on an Ubuntu rig and been able to use them to sign/view PKI emails?22:52

Wulframnzubuntu, is the word wrap present in the file or just in the upload?23:22
AzendaleThis is an install of server version, yes, but it is not currently in use. The tool I was going to put on top of it wants python3-requests package, which is not in 12.04, but is in >=12.10. I'm fine with it being beta stuff while I'm working on getting the tools all going, but I eventually want to leave it at an LTS. So my thought was to go to the beta in one LTS -> LTS (beta) hop (I was hoping), and I just wont declare that machine r23:22
zubuntuwhat Wulframn  ?23:22
zubuntusorry i didnt understand what u mean23:23
spjtAzendale: You'd be better off just upgrading to 13.1023:23
Hornetdragonfly: it's live, but yes23:23
WulframnWhen I view the file you linked the lines are wrapped. Each line should be all on one line.23:23
Hornetit has an error on startup, and the error reporter then has an error so I can't see what broke23:23

zubuntuWulframn:  it s how you see23:25
zubuntunot wrapped or something else23:25
WulframnAlright23:25
Azendalespjt: upgrading to 13.10 would be better because the upgrade from 12.04 -> 14.04 is iffy (nonexistant) or is it because 14.04 isn't declared "stable" yet?23:25
zubuntuwhat should i do now ?23:25
dragonflyHornet: try it without that keyboard and use a different one instead?23:25
zubuntuby the way what are the copy-paste-cut  shortcuts in terminal ?23:26
zubuntuctrl+c doesnt work23:26
zubuntualso ctrl+v23:26

bluefrogzubuntu, shift ctrl c23:27
zubuntualways shift ?23:27
zubuntuok thx23:27

dragonflyunicornjedi: do you see your cursor when this happens or not even that?23:40
