[00:18] how do i set the password in linux through terminal? [00:18] type passwd [00:19] I recently install a ATI Rage XL 8MB PCI(not express) grpahics card and ubuntu refuses to boot with it, enough though it displays perfectly well otherwise. [00:19] how do i do it with one command? [00:19] without getting the password prompt [00:19] Is there any workaround? I've tried just about everything. [00:19] tables: Hmmmm [00:20] It's tried doing something on failsafeX, but it just dies right there. [00:20] tables: I can think of any way right off.

[00:24] mdev: Funky. whats the ls -l on it? [00:24] The POST screen and BIOS setup show up. I wonder why it's JUST ubuntu [00:25] -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody nogroup 352 Mar 10 14:33 msg0000.txt [00:25] warlu: Did you install this after you install ubuntu, and do you still have another graphics card (ie intergrated) [00:25] Both, yes. [00:25] Just the int. graphics is 1MB and the dash home lags the crap out of it [00:26] mdev: Welll thats funky. [00:26] can't chmod it either [00:26] definitely running under root too [00:27] mdev, still question what happens if you do a chown? [00:27] give example please [00:27] not familiar with that one [00:27] Hi. 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 recursively [00:27] warlu: Did you try plugging up through the port on the intergreated card? [00:28] mdev chown root:admin msg0000.doc [00:28] Yes, and that boots fine as long as the BIOS is set to onboard/PEG [00:28] chown: invalid group: `root:admin' [00:29] try root:root [00:29] mdev: what Fraq said [00:29] chown: changing ownership of `msg0000.txt': Operation not permitted [00:29] sudo !! now [00:30] I have an idea of what could fix this, but I do not have my installer drive handy.

[00:31] can you chmod it instead of chowning? [00:31] fraq: it also nobody as the owner and no group as the group [00:31] wtf [00:31] No, but it isn't detected at all when booting with onboard [00:31] And no weird bit on the front either [00:31] cat file.txt > file.txt.new [00:32] rm -f file.txt [00:32] cat file.txt.new > file.txt [00:32] This is a straight PCI(not express) card, too [00:32] that might be a viable workaround [00:32] bash: msg0000.txt.new: Permission denied [00:32] for the cat [00:32] warlu: Its been a while since I've worked with anything with a graphics card that isn;t a laptop.

[00:33] Hi folks / devs, why does Ubuntu not have the "common" way of storing keymaps? like in https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9752563 [00:33] mdev: what the heck is this for? this is an odd file [00:33] warlu: Alright sorry I wasn't able to help [00:33] How what is the idea behind /etc/X11/xkb ? [00:33] [/sbin/fsck.ext4 [00:34] Bastad left before I could say buy [00:34] zzxc project i'm doing [00:34] for a client [00:34] and you said the owner and group are both Nobody? [00:34] can you su nobody? [00:34] mmm? sorry? [00:35] yeah su nobody works haha [00:35] lol [00:35] xar- still there?, am trying to figure out how to add version to this script https://paste.gparent.org/214 like lftp -v | head -n1 | awk '{print $4}' on the file and then add that to generated filename [00:35] lol [00:35] can you cat the file now? [00:35] miau [00:36] latenite: Ubuntu. You know I'm not sure there are ways to do it but its generally a pain. [00:37] nah can't cat or move it i've always been able to read it in nano or whatever [00:37] I wrote a file monitor was just trying to rename it to detect changes but clearly it's not gonna let me oh well [00:37] zzxc, ways to do "what" ? :D [00:38] mdev: and you can't even touch it as user nobody? [00:40] Why is Ubuntu using /etc/X11/xkb ? instead of /etc/X11/keymaps ? [00:40] what is the /etc/X11/xkb structure about? [00:40] hi again [00:41] mdev: Can you tell what the file system is formated as (like ext4 or fat)? [00:41] still boot doesnt work in ubuntu ?S [00:42] can somebody help me pl ? [00:42] s [00:42] boot menu doesnt show ubuntu [00:43] i installed windows 7 first and then ubuntu [00:43] but it boots to win 7 automatically [00:43] it doesnt show menu [00:43] Hi. Please help if possible. I'm trying to change my Steam install directory to an external drive formatted at ext4. It says it doesn't have exec privileges. The fixes I've found online don't seem to help, although I'm pretty inexperienced and don't really know what I'm doing. Can anyone spare 5 mins to help an idiot? [00:43] hello anybody ? [00:44] zubuntu do you know if your system runs on UEFI or legacy BIOS ? [00:44] how can i find out xparanoik ? [00:44] it has BIOS for sure [00:45] it s windows laptop [00:45] when you boot your computer you should be able to see it, if it is a pretty new laptop then it's probably UEFI [00:45] it s about 3-4 yrs old laptop [00:45] lenovo thinkpad edge 13 [00:46] it was DOS free when i bought it [00:46] and i installed 7 [00:46] now ubuntu [00:46] other day i formatted [00:46] and clean installed 7 [00:46] and now ubuntu [00:47] it should show the menu to choose which OS to run in startup [00:47] but it doesnt show ?S [00:47] also i tried to run boot-repair in ubuntu live usb [00:47] that can happen when you install ubuntu and windows [00:47] it didnt work [00:47] it didn't? hmm [00:47] that's what I was going to suggest you do [00:48] it suppose to show me menu after repair finished and restarted but it s still same [00:48] check your bios and see if the ubuntu option is there (in case it's UEFI) [00:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [00:49] xparanoik: there s no ubuntu option in bios [00:50] let me try this boot repair again [00:51] boot-repair has a couple of options, sometimes when there is an error you can try different options [00:51] which option to apply? [00:51] but if it's a legacy bios, then just installing grub on the MBR should suffice [00:51] recommended repair or advanced [00:51] recommended [00:52] it said installing grub while installing ubuntu already [00:52] later on there are a couple of options (i haven't done this in months) [00:52] let me try recommended repair then [00:52] it asks me something about pastebin [00:53] enabling bootinfo [00:53] wb Beldar [00:53] was there a message that you may want to try something else? i forgot what it's called [00:53] xparanoik: -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7149048/ [00:54] xparanoik: it installed ubuntu without error [00:54] and boot-repair also didnt give error [00:54] Boot successfully repaired. Please write on a paper the following URL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7149048/ [00:55] yes.. [00:55] so what does that document mean _ [00:55] ? [00:55] hello [00:56] looks like everything is ok [00:56] zubuntu i didn't see any error messages, just info [00:56] i need help [00:56] zubuntu see which boot options are available on your bios [00:56] so what should i do now ? [00:56] ah wait [00:56] I would like to say that the "deadline" I/O scheduling algorithm is a very bad choice for a standard ubuntu desktop distro [00:56] 1st boot device was set to usb to install windows and ubuntu [00:56] does it make sense to u xparanoik ? [00:57] i should change it to HDD i think [00:57] yes [00:57] ok then [00:57] see u after restart [00:58] on my system, the responsiveness of the gui (ubuntu 12.04 LTS) was very VERY bad when there were consistent hard disk operations... [00:58] sorry, the gui is gnome classic, the system is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [00:58] hey guys in the terminal, this is my name montre@linx:~/home$ [00:59] if i want to change the linx part [00:59] how do i do it ? [00:59] haT http://askubuntu.com/questions/87665/how-do-i-change-the-hostname-without-a-restart [00:59] I solved the problem by changing the I/O scheduling to the classic CFQ... Now is near responsive as a Windows machine [01:00] ohh ok [01:00] I think "deadline" scheduling algorithm is best suited for very fast SSD hard drive or for database servers [01:00] so that's the host name [01:00] but it shouldn't be the "default" scheduling of a normal ubuntu distro! [01:00] xparanoik: are u there ? [01:01] it works now :) [01:01] GRUB bootloader menu [01:01] is it possible to turn it back to windows bootloader menu ? [01:03] hi! do you know if mate 1.8 is in the repos? [01:04] is there a way to go back to normal boot startup menu instead of GRUB ? [01:05] zubuntu: http://superuser.com/questions/499675/how-to-restore-windows-8-gui-boot-loader-after-installing-windows-7 [01:06] I don't know if it could be helping you, but maybe you can try [01:06] also , what would you recommend for mint? install a plain ubuntu first then mint on it? [01:07] thx amigamagic [01:07] see u later :) [01:07] thx for everything guys [01:07] u r nice ppl [01:08] lorenzo, mint is not ubuntu [01:08] linux mint is another distro [01:08] aeeh sorry :D [01:08] for mate [01:08] it's 2 am here [01:08] yes I know [01:08] :D [01:08] I'm from IT too [01:08] ah nice [01:09] Anyone familiar with boot-repair [01:09] I tried to install cinnamon after ubuntu, but it was very bad... Many icons and various things missing [01:10] (or maybe it was mate desktop, I don't remember) [01:10] amigamagic, Which ubuntu release was this? [01:10] well I'll try, the night is long [01:10] :> [01:10] Beldar ubuntu is 12.04 LTS [01:11] now I remember: it was cinnamon [01:11] after installing it from an ubuntu 12.04 LTS reverted to gnome classic, the cinnamon start menu was very bad [01:11] with many icons missing [01:12] amigamagic, 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. [01:13] Beldar, it wasn't a critic at ubuntu === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [01:14] it was only an observation from my experience on installing it [01:14] amigamagic, No biggie, however my point is, this is support not your blog. [01:14] the critic that I address to ubuntu 12.04 LTS is the 'deadline' I/O scheduler [01:15] is very bad for a desktop machine with a traditional hard disk (not SSD) === tech is now known as Guest76695 [01:16] try 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 videos [01:16] amigamagic, where did you learn those things? [01:16] I barely know what a scheduler does [01:17] lorenzo, there was a time when I modded the linux scheduler [01:17] for an exam at my university [01:17] hi\ [01:17] hi [01:17] but it was MANY years ago [01:18] now I'm doing all my research using google and experimenting myself... :D [01:18] anyone here have some experience with ubuntu studio 13.10, the ubuntu studio channel is dead [01:18] nice :D [01:19] lorenzo, the problem is that I couldn't accept that a Windows machine could be MUCH faster than a Linux machine [01:19] at basic tasks [01:19] like copy a big file [01:20] nreynolds_, There is this channel too, #opensourcemusicians [01:20] so, 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 distro [01:21] Is there a better RDP client than remmina? [01:21] Laslo7, try vinagra [01:21] is this the support channel for ubuntu? [01:21] I use X2GO as server and client [01:21] Laslo7, * vinagre [01:21] very fast [01:22] remmina works fine here, besides from some issues with Windows Server 2012 [01:22] Beldar, I have more of a ubuntu question then a A/V based question [01:23] I have been using remmina. I just reinstalled and thought to see if there were better options [01:23] Laslo7, if it works, stick with it [01:23] I use it on a daily basis and it's quite nice once you set it up with favourites [01:24] Thanks for the info. [01:24] 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 problems [01:25] 有人？ [01:25] if 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] Anyone else tried installing unity under Ubuntu Studio 13.10 [01:27] amigamagic: noop [deadline] cfq [01:27] Laslo7 so you use 'deadline' scheduler [01:27] that is very bad for normal hdd [01:28] if you have an SSD drive, then it's good [01:28] I am running a SSD [01:28] I 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. [01:30] RefinersFire, other machines working fine? [01:30] yes [01:31] I 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] RefinersFire, looks like a bad dns server to me [01:32] try adding 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 or other (like opendns) [01:32] in your network config [01:32] The 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are google's dns servers [01:33] I will try lorenzo [01:33] yes [01:33] Laslo7, that's why I said "or other" [01:34] if 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. [01:35] but you should change /etc/default/grub too if you want to make the change permanent [01:36] hi [01:36] again me [01:36] who are you? [01:36] :D [01:36] lol [01:36] :) [01:36] amigamagic: :p [01:36] to install gnome look for 12.04 [01:37] what do u suggest me ? [01:37] sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback ? [01:37] lorenzo: Nothing wrong with them, I use them myself. Just wanted to make sure RefinersFire knew they were ok [01:37] zubuntu, yes === kavan_ is now known as KavanS [01:37] and I would do: "sudo apt-get ubuntu-tweak" too [01:37] ok let me do that [01:37] does ubuntu support gnome officially ? [01:38] again ? [01:38] My server settings are the same as my Mint desktop and only the server cannot access .org addresses [01:38] zubuntu, unity use gnome [01:38] so gnome is supported [01:38] amigamagic: it s not gnome :p [01:38] lol [01:38] i mean it s ugly :S [01:38] zubuntu what I mean it's that unity is based on gnome [01:38] yea i got it [01:39] but i really miss gnome 2 classic interface :S [01:39] ^ [01:39] anyway gnome-session-fallback is in the official repository, so it's supported [01:39] so it will get the updates automatically ? [01:39] yes [01:39] another question [01:39] open office vs libreoffice [01:39] which one is better ? [01:40] i love openoffice more [01:40] so use openoffice [01:40] how will i install ? [01:40] I don't know [01:40] and how about its support and updates ? [01:40] zubuntu, libreoffice should be more developed and supported [01:40] wow ubuntu 13.10 boot time is blazing fast :O [01:41] libreoffice is very very fast in ubuntu [01:41] lorenzo: it s new and supported i know but it looks ugly :S [01:41] I think openoffice is the same thing [01:41] but libreoffice is what ubuntu uses [01:41] as a default office app [01:41] by the way amigamagic sudo apt-get ubuntu-tweak ->> E: Invalid operation ubuntu-tweak [01:41] libreoffice is a (IMO, more developed) fork of openoffice [01:41] zubuntu: you forgot "install" [01:42] ah [01:42] sorry === carlos is now known as Guest1576 [01:42] well openoffice was much more good once [01:42] when ppl stopped developing it [01:42] sorry, I forget install [01:42] libre got its place unfortunately [01:42] after 10.10 i didnt install ubuntu also [01:43] on windows openoffice is faster at first loading [01:43] so I prefer openoffice on windows [01:43] but i want to use it again [01:43] but on linux I think they are the same thing [01:43] with gnome ofcourse :S [01:43] amigamagic: yes but maybe i care about appearance :p [01:43] Does open offie not have a prreloading application in linux? [01:43] openoffice was looking more professional in my eyes [01:43] and what about lubre office? [01:43] Sir_Leto: nope [01:44] *libre [01:44] u need to download and install manually [01:44] Do devs for other OSes not communicate? [01:44] Sir_Leto: i didnt use libre much but even its name is ugly lol [01:45] zubuntu: www.openoffice.org/it/download/3.1.1/download311.html [01:45] E: Invalid operation ubuntu-tweak [01:45] anyone using unity as main de? [01:45] on a desktop [01:45] amigamagic: can u give me exact command to install ubuntu-tweak pls :/ [01:46] it s still giving error [01:46] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak [01:46] and thx for the open office link :) [01:46] !anyone | lorenzo Really? [01:46] Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-tweak [01:47] amigamagic: :/ [01:47] lorenzo, what de are you using? [01:47] zubuntu, on my ubuntu 12.04 lts it works [01:47] i am using 12.04 too but why is it giving error ? [01:48] try with ubuntu software center [01:48] Beldar, looks like the bot is not working properly :( [01:48] maybe the bot hates unity [01:48] :D [01:48] i need to install PPA first [01:49] lorenzo, why not ask your question directly? [01:49] that or the punctuation broke it, ;) [01:49] Beldar, I just tried many known keywords, so unless I'm making the same mistakes.. :p [01:50] zubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak/0.8.x/0.8.6/+download/ubuntu-tweak_0.8.6-1_all.deb [01:50] thx amigamagic :) [01:50] you are right, it's not in the official repo [01:50] I forgot [01:50] but I suggest you to install it, because with it you can place icons on your desktop, like the Trashbin, computer, home, etc. [01:50] and you can change themes [01:51] and many other things [01:51] wow [01:52] i want that too [01:52] as ex ubuntu versions [01:52] desktop icons [01:52] yes you can if you install the right theme package [01:53] should i install theme ? [01:53] grrr really [01:53] why doesnt ubuntu put gnome look as an option in system ? [01:53] they should let ppl to choose what to use [01:53] like windows put classic theme [01:55] what do u use currently amigamagic ? [01:55] unity or gnome? === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [01:56] to me, Unity is a desktop manager too simple and rigid [01:57] so, I stick with the classic gnome [01:57] i need to find out how to use ubuntu tweak [01:59] [02:02] Hello!

[02:03] Arnau it's the first time i've been here [02:03] same [02:04] So... where are you from callen? [02:04] and Arnau? [02:04] US [02:04] I am from Chile [02:04] And you JoSEVienBellaCko? [02:04] wow! i'm from chile too! [02:05] what state are you from callen? [02:06] North carolina [02:07] Hello! 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] hi, all! how to degrade 12.04.4 to 12.04.3? [02:08] googcheng, No standard way. [02:08] Beldar, is there a way [02:09] wipe and start over id assume [02:09] googcheng, Not that I know of. [02:09] googcheng, perhaps something 'similar' is possible, depending upon why you need it. [02:11] heyho, 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] varunendra, i run 12.04.4 now but graph image broken, the kernel is 3.10.18 [02:14] googcheng, looks like you did an 'upgrade', because the point-release of 12.04.4 comes with kernel 3.11 [02:15] !nomodeset | googcheng [02:15] googcheng: 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.

[11:07] platypus: you give thepage the youtube URL and it will rip the audio from it to MP3 [11:07] i updated to ubuntu 13.10. now apache doesn't seem to include my configurations from /etc/apche2/sites-enabled [11:07] ActionParsnip, 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] what can i do? [11:07] red234324: why do you need to reboot? [11:08] just assuming ActionParsnip [11:08] red234324: 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 subfolder [11:08] ActionParsnip, 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. [11:09] in short, I need a video-only downloader. [11:09] platypus: doesn't minitube do youtube downloads? [11:10] ActionParsnip, I dont know now. minitube had been working a while ago, after which it didn't work multiple times, and I'd quit using. [11:11] Hey guys how do I remove gnome desktop environment [11:11] from ubuntu [11:11] ActionParsnip, will try minitube again [11:13] roppongininja: are you that low on disk space? [11:15] Hello, does anybody know why gnome-terminal -e "cmd" isn't working with Keyboard bindings in unity ? [11:15] it really isn't [11:15] no response at all [11:16] q0: how about if you run it from another terminal? It should spawn another [11:16] yes it works [11:16] q0: sounds like a bug then [11:16] q0: have you tried the absolute path to gnome-terminal [11:17] yes that's also not working [11:17] q0: sounds like a bug then === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [11:18] Hello [11:18] there was a screenshot hotkey that also stopped working, there's something going on I guess [11:18] q0: if you make a fresh ubuntu user and try it there, is it the same? === wizonesolutions is now known as kkaland === kkaland is now known as wizonesolutions_ [11:25] cyberoam unable to open restricted sites any suggestion. [11:25] Can I install Xubuntu from the Ubuntu Live CD, without all the "fluff"? [11:27] the install cd installs the standard install [11:27] nothing different === makije|away is now known as makije [11:33] Hi guys, one Q. Which would you say is more heavy on the resources of the two best looking desktops: unity or KDE? [11:34] Any1? [11:35] lopit: depends on the apps your using. blank DEs differences are marginal [11:35] The usual. Rhythmbox&FF/unity, amarok%FF/KDE [11:35] usually, + libreoffice in both [11:35] three most used apps :) [11:38] lopit: unity is a plugin for compiz and Compiz is far from light [11:41] With >2GB RAM it's just a matter of personal preferences, both will run fine, both aren't "light". But as i said, it's mostly the apps running making the difference [11:46] What's the driver for microphone? === samhassell is now known as samh_afk [11:50] http://pastebin.com/tTRHFdnN guys please am having trouble returning content and the xpath is correct so i presume. Using lxml to get content of a paragraph [11:51] sorry wanted to put that in #python [11:52] Hi [11:55] helllo , i am using 12.04 LTS. i have a zip file of some drivers .i want to install them is it possible to do installation with zip file? [11:59] miraj9093: depends what drivers you have for Windows or linux? Windows drivers probably won't work unless they're network drivers to use with ndiswrapper. [12:00] pwd [12:00] oops [12:01] ola [12:01] guest0292: actually I am installing mobile connection(net dongle 's) drivers.. [12:01] me haces una paja [12:01] guest0292: i mean want to install.. [12:01] penis [12:02] madrid: No thanks you [12:06] miraj9093: 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... [12:08] miraj9093: 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] Hi guys [12:08] I accidentally erased my /run folder [12:08] and now internet is not working [12:09] any help is much appreciated [12:09] dheeraj: reboot [12:09] I logged to a machine using ssh and ran a long-running command. However I'm afraid my internet connection might disconnet in anytime. If it disconnets, is the command going to be cancelled? [12:09] llutz_: thats when then internet stopped working [12:09] rockyrock: best to run it under something lie screen or tmux [12:09] *like [12:09] somsip: what to do now? [12:09] somsip: it's running already :( [12:09] llutz_: but thats when the internet stopped working [12:10] rockyrock: you could try to release it from the shell that started it. I can never remember the command that does this...hang on [12:10] Does Ubuntu have an equivalent of snapshot.debian.org, a place that holds old package revisions? [12:10] rockyrock: https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr [12:11] miraj9093: I should also mention if your zip contains linux driver source code you will most likely need to compile the drivers, so you'll need to install all the necessary compiler software and linux headers first. [12:11] guest0292: thank you .i will try this.. [12:13] guest0292:sorry which type of compile softwares?? === hggdh_ is now known as hggdh [12:15] hiii [12:15] miraj9093, do have linux source or windows drivers? you never said [12:15] anyone ?

[12:18] roppongininja: or remove gnome-desktop-environment [12:19] roppongininja: you will be trying to remove several packages that start with 'gnome' to see which does not remove xfce packages [12:19] ActionParsnip: let me try [12:19] I'm connected to a machine via SSH. I want to move files between my machine and the remove one. Is that possible? [12:19] I have the OSGeo 6.0 installed, and wanted to upgrade to the 7.9 OSGeo, is to do within OSGeo own? [12:19] rockyrock: scp file user@remote:/path/to/copy [12:20] Package 'gnome-desktop-environment' is not installed, so not removed [12:20] OsGeo: how did you install OSGeo ? [12:20] roppongininja: ok, try just 'gnome' on its own [12:20] dvd [12:20] OsGeo: so you mounted the DVD in ubuntu and installed some packages? [12:20] I still get that its not installed although it IS [12:21] roppongininja: dpkg -l | awk {'print $2'} | grep gnome [12:21] nao [12:21] when I log out from xfce I can still login using gnome [12:21] dvd live [12:21] OsGeo: so it is it's own distribution?

[12:21] nao, Xubuntu distro [12:22] OsGeo: then how is this ubuntu related, if OSGeo is a live DVD? [12:22] Samurai_Champloo: no [12:22] thanks roppongininja do you know why it is not a problem? just out of curiosity. [12:23] Samurai_Champloo: because u are not updating xchat [12:23] OsGeo: OSGeo is nothing to do with Ubuntu in any way. Its is a completely separate distribution/ [12:23] OsGeo: they have a support channel on Freenode: #osgeo [12:23] OsGeo: your distribution is supported there [12:24] i dont know [12:24] oh. ok, cool. i was hoping you knew something about the nature of the os that allows for no-affected areas to continue to fiunction during updates, but the update is complete. no prob. thanks [12:24] OsGeo: #OSGeo or #OSGeolive are the support channels for OSGeo, not here [12:24] Samurai_Champloo: well Im not an expert in any way and I know out of experience so :D no problem [12:25] thanks :) [12:34] Hello, I have Lenovo Z510 (Optimus with Intel HD4600 and Nvidia GT740M as 3D Card) and I have a problem to use an external monitor. in Xorg.log I do not see any errors or problems.

I do not how to compare Xorg config because Xorg.conf doesn't exist.

Or will simply running it again fix any problems? [12:39] guest0292: it may, you will need to do a few commands to kick it back off [12:39] rafals1: what distro are you using now? [12:41] Does Ubuntu have an equivalent of snapshot.debian.org, a place that holds old package revisions? [12:41] Or should I perhaps ask something like #ubuntu-server?

I've found numerous posts with the same problem, but none of the proposed solution (e.g. rootdelay) works for me. Any ideas ?

"sudo chown john:john /home/john/.ssh/aut_key && sudo chmod 0600 /home/john/.ssh/aut_key" and for the .ssh direcotry "sudo chmod -R 0700 /home/john/.ssh" [13:23] Emily92: don't use -R 0700 [13:23] Emily92: chmod 0700 /home/john/.ssh [13:24] llutz_ just "sudo chmod 0700 /home/john/.ssh" [13:24] Emily92: yes, no need for recursive setting 0700 to all files inside .ssh/ === Rynofear is now known as rynomster [13:25] llutz_ thanks will do that now [13:29] :) === proje1 is now known as projex === llutz__ is now known as llutz_ [13:32] I granted permission to the wrong user before. how do i cancel that permission and grant it to a different user?

[13:49] PeterGriffin: tar creates archives, it only compresses if you tell it to do [13:50] Thank you. [13:51] Emily92: the first time john connects to your remote-host, it needs to confirm the host-key, which will be stored in known_hosts file. are you sure that is done already [13:52] llutz_ i am using puttty and i can connect using the root user private key [13:52] Emily92: and you tunnel is established how?

I'm using 12.04 and just recently installed a new NIC, and now my LTSP doesn't work anymore. Specifically the DHCP server isc-dhcp-server. I presume it's because my interface went from eth0 to eth4, but I can't figure out how to update isc-dhcp-server to comply. I changed /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server to have eth4 in the interface item ( though there was no value there previously ). Trying to start the server via init or se [14:02] dbeaver irc doesn't exist atleast no one is on [14:03] [conrad]: remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [14:03] ActionParsnip, thank you for your help! minitube works this time. [14:03] [conrad]: it will be re-created next boot and your new nic (if it is the only one) will be eth0 again [14:04] OerHeks: Please forget about the no-password thing, that is not the issue here. I'm trying to debug this issue regarding the sudo command hanging (not prompting for a password, just hanging), and I can provide strace output if necessary [14:04] <[conrad]> llutz_: It's not the only NIC.

(You can check by running the command: cat /etc/issue ) [14:28] Wait, /etc/issue is supposed to tell version? Or is that something ubuntu specific? [14:29] Rory, when I use that command it tells me "Welcome to Foresight" [14:29] seednode: There's a few ways, but /etc/issue gives the version on Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Arch, and a few others I can thnk of [14:29] The point I'm getting at is that techie123 isn't using Ubuntu [14:29] Rory, does it?

[14:40] Guest51606, forget uninstalling ubuntu. get windows, set up the entire HDD, format and install [14:40] Guest51606: Go ask a windows channel like #windows [14:41] sydney: It's already installed in ubuntu [14:41] sydney: but if you removed it, I believe the package is called "ubuntu-software-center" [14:42] #windows === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [14:47] #windows [14:48] katih: type /join #windows [14:48] katih: This is still #ubuntu :P [14:49] oh god, I really am like the worst person in teh world with compyter, trying to boot or whatever it's called is making me cry xD ty I'll type in that now.. lol === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [14:53] how do i point volti to select the correct sound card? === kermit1 is now known as kermit === kermit is now known as Guest69209 === Guest69209 is now known as kermit [14:59] how do i point volti to select the correct sound card? === chin-tas` is now known as chin-tastic === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson [15:07] Hi, I'm trying to get my wireless card to work, but it says that wireless is disabled by hardware switch, but the switch is set at On [15:08] Rubas, computer make? [15:08] Hey guys ... I have a question about automated ubuntu server install. Is this the right place to ask? [15:08] cfhowlett: Sony [15:08] cfhowlett: Sony laptop === rabbel_ is now known as rabbel [15:10] Rubas, Dell here. dual booting. in windows the F2 key turned wifi on/off turns out that alt F2 would do the same in ubuntu. no reboot to windows required. only took 4 years to discover that secret. [15:11] cfhowlett: alt + F2 will turn wireless on? [15:12] Rubas, on my DELL, yes. experiment. whatever your switch key is plus alt, ctrl, or windows super key [15:12] good morning I decided to install 13.10 ubuntu but not as a desktop but as a program, can I still do this via vmware on a mac? if so can anybody provide me with additional instrucitons [15:12] rabbel, ask [15:12] already have foresight linux installed as a virtual machine, or should I try to desktop ubuntu first? [15:13] techie123, we have NOTHING to do with foresight ... [15:14] cfhowlett: ok. I am currently busy with automating my ubuntu-server (precise) installation. I followed this (http://askubuntu.com/a/122506) tutorial. It works perfect if I test it on a virtual machine. But if I try the same on a bare metal machine, it suddenly does not work anymore. [15:14] I put the .iso file on a USB stick, it looks like it's booting but it says it can't find CDROM files. [15:15] So my question, do I have to do something else if I put the iso file on a USB stick? [15:15] rabbel, yeah, that's a NICE challenge! however you might want to take this #ubuntu-server. I suspect someone there has already done what you're now attempting. [15:16] rabbel: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [15:16] rabbel, netboot and preseed should do the trick for you [15:17] how can i edit and update /proc/asound/cards [15:17] bluefrog: I don't have netboot available. Well actually i have but I think it's better if I use an usb stick... [15:17] rabbel, have you used usb disk creator to put the iso on the usb? [15:18] bluefrog: I used LinuxLive, it works for a non-custom iso. [15:18] So I can boot into the installer which isn't customized .. [15:19] I don't know then. perso I would go netboot. faster. [15:19] bluefrog: thank you anyway :) [15:19] where would be the best place to get information on packaging software for ubuntu for ARM? is there such a thing as a "generic" ARM build? [15:19] !arm [15:19] ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel.

(but I can scan and see wireless networks in the area) [15:37] btw scanning through the terminal [15:37] Rubas, again: I've not done what you're attempting. that's why I suggested you ask this in #ubuntu-server [15:38] tgm4883 thanks for the advice [15:38] cfhowlett: okay :) Thanks [15:40] what is the reason in error when installing phpunit when i install it seems clear but when i run phpunit --version theres so many error come up [15:40] in terminal [15:41] !details | kuroarashi [15:41] kuroarashi: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

When I try to run the disk from the GRUB menu it just skips the disk and boots into Ubuntu for some reason. The disk works fine on my laptop and PC that both already have Windows installed but it just isn't doing anything on my Ubuntu PC === makije|away is now known as makije [15:44] Domincii, you have to set your bios to boot the windows disk. ask in #windows [15:45] I just installed my new system and I went for 13.10 instead of 12.04 which was probarbly stupid.. I'm trying to find a way to get my Logitech DiNovo Keyboard to run but it won't.. [15:45] Anyone else has this problem? [15:45] johelish, is that a bluetooth device [15:46] cfhowlett: Yes [15:46] !bluetooth|johelish, [15:46] johelish,: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [15:46] cfhowlett: but when I look in dmesg it looks like there's two spectrums.. one HID and one bluetooth [15:49] cfhowlett: Everything is already installed and it renders zero devices.. hcitool dev [15:50] johelish, all my BT devices just worked - can't help with troubleshooting. sorry [15:52] hi! [15:52] ubuntu hello === gnu is now known as Guest95155 [15:53] Anyone here who can help me with the Windows installation? I don't know why my disk drive isn't working on Ubuntu. Can I set it to automatically mount the disk drive? 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 stuff [15:54] Domincii, you're installing windows INSIDE ubuntu? [15:55] Domincii;~ or are you trying to share files on a win disk [15:55] cfhowlett, 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] philinux that reply is to you too [15:56] Domincii, you MUST specify to the machine bios that it boots the windows install disk. [15:56] cfhowlett, how can I do that? I'm not great with computers [15:56] Hi. 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 LAN [15:57] Domincii, during power on self test, a message will appear "to change boot options, hit F something" [15:57] Domincii, go into the BIOS and set the windows disk to be first boot device [15:57] And 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] cfhowlett, b3rz3rk3r I've already done that [15:57] Domincii, I doubt it. otherwise the drive would have booted. [15:57] Domincii, then it is not set as bootable and your pc is defaulting to next device [15:58] unless the drive itself has failed. try this. disable all drives EXCEPT the disk drive with windows. [15:58] Domincii;~ is the win disk in a dvd player [15:58] b3rz3rk3r 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 work [15:58] philinux yes it is [15:59] Domincii, you're confusing the issue. during power on NEITHER OS is running. [16:00] Domincii;~ to eliminate. try an ubuntu livd disk in the same dvd player [16:00] Domincii;~ if that boots then dvd player ok [16:01] cfhowlett 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 Ubuntu [16:01] Domincii, 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. [16:02] CIAO [16:02] b3rz3rkr3r 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] Domincii, this is the original windows disk? [16:02] Domincii, 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] Domincii, have you tried to boot it in another machine? [16:03] cfhowlett no its an iso I've manually burnt to the disk, b3rs3rk3r I've not, I'll do so now to check [16:03] Domincii, test it in a different machine [16:03] Domincii, 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 correctly [16:03] so i just went through getting a sytem set up, as root. my intention was to then use .bash_history to 'document' what i did [16:04] Hey, I was wondering if I went ahead and upgraded to the 14.04 beta if I'd be able to keep that install when it's released. [16:04] but .bash_history doesn't have most/any of what i have done this session [16:04] if i press up i can see all of my commands [16:04] Hey, I was wondering if I went ahead and upgraded to the 14.04 beta if I'd be able to keep that install when it's released. [16:04] what i'd like to do is dump all of those commands, basically everything i have done this session into a file [16:04] b3rz3rk3r could you recommend a guide to create the installation CD from a windows computer? thats what im using to burn the iso to disk currently [16:04] gdoteof, sure, as root you don't want bash to log your private stuff [16:05] OerHeks: that makes sense. i mean, if i look in there it does have some stuff.. ls \ cd \ apt-get install vim [16:05] basically that's it [16:05] in any case, is there some way to extract what i have in my cached history into a file? [16:05] Domincii, windows has a USB creation too as well as data cd tools. ask #windows for details. this is not an ubuntu problem [16:06] cfhowlett thanks for your help and patience [16:06] Domincii, I can't, I haven't used it in many years. [16:06] Is there a way to make the default built in mail handler use an ISP SMTP smarthost to relay system generated mail instead of using DNS MX lookups and sending direct to the recipients mail host? [16:06] Domincii, hope I helped a little. [16:06] gdoteof, maybe this page is any help http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/7041/dont-save-commands-in-bash-history-only-for-current-session [16:06] Domincii, Top results on Google will help though for sure [16:07] b4rz3rk3r thank you for your help. I'll likely return if the problem persists. [16:07] OerHeks: yep. the command, "history" is totally what i needed. thanks! === cris22222 is now known as cambioNick [16:08] gdoteof: if you use an exclamation mark and the number on the left, it will run the command for that number. [16:08] gdoteof: you can run the last command again by typing: !! (aka bang bang) [16:09] ActionParsnip: ah, good to know. i did know !! but not that i could query like that. in any case i needed the commands i had run to create a docker file. appreciate the help === cambioNick is now known as cambioNick2 === Left_Turn is now known as Looney_Asylum [16:14] After performing an update and rebooting the server will no longer boot up .. trying in recovery mode it comes to the point "Gave up waiting for root device." and dumps me into initramfs ... :P [16:14] Above it says "Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/*UUID* does not exist."

[18:40] 56.5 GB used [18:40] in properties [18:40] <[Gentoo]> junaos_: ok [18:40] hello everyone, how can I install xampp? I am getting this error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7152342/ ...or should I just install the LAMP stack, as advised by one user on askubuntu.com ? [18:40] <[Gentoo]> sounds promising [18:40] quebre: What happens if you chose recovery mode from the "Advanced Options for Ubuntu" submenu? [18:40] hmm [18:40] <[Gentoo]> junaos_: and whats in the mountpoint? [18:41] When I clicked on unmount [18:41] <[Gentoo]> auto mount normally goes in /media usually [18:41] Unmount C: [18:41] <[Gentoo]> eh [18:41] !xampp | vladivostoq [18:41] jordan i can see normal and recovery mode [18:41] vladivostoq: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [18:41] <[Gentoo]> C: isnt linux drive type [18:41] I get that error message along with three buttons [18:41] <[Gentoo]> /dev/sdc etc etc [18:41] not like in cli [18:41] In GUI [18:41] <[Gentoo]> ah ok [18:41] [Gentoo]: /run/media/username/ in more recent times. [18:41] three buttons are [18:41] <[Gentoo]> so what i mean is, what happens when you mount it [18:41] <[Gentoo]> Jordan_U: ok [18:42] nothing happens [18:42] its just shows up empty [18:42] DJones..didnt know it..then I install LAMP, guess it should work fine.. [18:42] <[Gentoo]> junaos_: empty dir? [18:42] <[Gentoo]> ok [18:42] <[Gentoo]> i got to go [18:42] <[Gentoo]> parents evening [18:42] yes but the properties shows there is data [18:42] 56.5 G [18:44] vladivostoq: Hopefully that will all go ok for you, but if you get any issues, just ask in the channel, hopefully people will be able to suggest suitable solutions [18:45] DJones, thank you, I will go about it now, and will return if anything comes up! :) [18:48] Hey fellas. How would I go about setting up the clock in Cinnamon like this guy has? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE7N510tQCc [18:49] From what I've seen, you can only use one line. [18:50] So why is ubuntu (saucy) opening every download package in gedit even when its an executable? [18:51] I thought it was an issue with earlier packages but after DLing a more well know app I realized [18:51] Anyone know why this is happening?? [18:51] hi [18:52] Urlich: Packages should not have execute permissions. [18:55] Urlich: What exactly are you downloading, and what do you expect to happen when you open the file (presumably by double clicking the file in Nautilus)? [18:56] Urlich: when you say exetcutable, are you talking about a shell script? like something.sh (which is executable) [18:56] or a .deb package? [19:00] willwh: yes exactly. Explain. [19:00] I know that CJK characters don't display by default in the terminal, and programs like zhcon exist to display them if needed; but I'm running a headless VPS. Do I have any options to display CJK characters in the terminal (mostly for IRC, I don't need them for file names, or text files on the system). I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 if that makes a difference [19:00] Hi, I just noticed my auth.log no longer updates and found this in my syslog (should I worry, im not the only admin): sudo: root : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/var/log/apache2 ; USE R=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/apt-get remove rsyslog [19:01] Urlich, open files (nautilus) preferences, behavior tab [19:01] Hello I am using Xubuntu 14.04, I have a little problem how can I remove the CSSD decorations from the Gnome 3.10 apps? apps like gthumb looks uggly [19:03] wiebels: I would make sure you find out exactly who ran that command and why. [19:03] Jordan_U Im trying to find out now, I do not trust this === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [19:04] wiebels: Somewhat typical of a rooted server. [19:05] jhutchins I doubt its rooted however I'm not the main admin (I just check the logs every now and then). I'll give them a call. Whats a good first to investigate this, netstat? [19:08] /setWLSEnv.sh: 41: .: Can't open /wlserver/common/bin/commEnv.sh [19:08] Why cant it open? [19:08] ilhami: it's not there [19:08] ilhami: find / -iname \*commenv.sh\* [19:08] ok let me try. [19:09] /opt/middleware/weblogic/wls12120/wlserver/common/bin/commEnv.sh [19:09] /opt/middleware/weblogic/wls12120/oracle_common/common/bin/commEnv.sh [19:09] it is? [19:10] ilhami: yeah different path - i guess you have to modify the setWLSEnv.sh file [19:10] Hello everyone ! I'm looking for people using minify & css [19:10] grimeton, can you help? [19:11] I will try. [19:11] ilhami: i don't know the script and i can't fix it [19:13] thinkin about getting ubuntu on my desktop. can i still game and everything with it? whats the easiest way to get and install ubuntu and where should i start learning about linux etc? [19:13] The_Guy: not all games work, but Steam is getting there [19:14] The_Guy: do you have a spare USB flash drive or blank DVDs you can burn to? [19:14] Someone helped me shop for a printer for my Ubuntu machine... [19:14] The_Guy: Dual boot it. [19:14] Is there a way to always boot into a certain kernel version? [19:14] FlacBean02: set a default with grub [19:14] FYI, I was suprised to find that the Samsung 2165W works on it *including* the wifi printing! [19:14] *works on Ubuntu 13.04, that is. [19:15] hey all what's the SSH flag for just forwarding a port on another system and not opening a new shell on it? [19:15] moondoggy: that's wonderful but this channel is for support questions only [19:15] grub.cfg? [19:16] FlacBean02: pretty sure the header of that says DO NOT EDIT ME, PEOPLE WILL DIE! [19:16] !grub | FlacBean02 [19:16] FlacBean02: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [19:16] jhutchins solved it; IT guy made an odd mistake. [19:16] The_Guy, Help here is based on specificities and details, so broad questions are mute. [19:16] moot* [19:17] daftykins do you know how can I remove the CSSD decorations of the GTK 3.10 apps with CSSD decorations [19:17] ? [19:17] SergioAD: no sir [19:17] mmm I see [19:17] the windows with these decorations looks uggly [19:18] on Xubuntu only :/ [19:18] wiebels, an admin removed syslog by mistake. time to boot the admin and reinstall the server [19:19] hmmm so on a haunch it probably has something to do with set default="0" [19:19] I have a key for ssh, when I connect to the name I have in my ssh config, which also has the key, I connect fine. This means the key is good. When I ssh on the command line to the ip, I get permission denied. The key shows up in ssh-add -l. Thoughts on what else I can check? [19:19] FlacBean02: indeedy [19:19] i have no idea what the value would be though [19:19] wiebels, not to mention investigate everything that could be compromised [19:19] daftykins: Sorry. Where would I go to find help getting printers to work, etc? [19:19] *what channel, I mean. [19:20] FlacBean02: so you've got to count down the menu list to the one you want, bearing in mind 0 will be the first kernel, then 1 will be the recovery of that version, then 2 will be the first older kernel... etc. [19:20] moondoggy: sure you ask here, but try and be more concise and on one line :) [19:20] Hello, can anyone tell me if Ubuntu OS supports Intel® i217LM and Intel® i210AT NIC drivers? [19:21] another image viewer like Shotwell but with not the ubuntu accounts integration and with not CSSD? [19:21] Bluefrog well, its not production and its a local server, they tried syslog-ng for a while. [19:21] maxm sites are blocked in my network how unblock it ? [19:21] MaksimM: look it up online with regard to the Linux kernel in general, not so much ubuntu specific [19:21] wiebels ok that's all another story then [19:21] ohh coool thanks [19:21] 2 it is :) [19:21] red_: speak to your network administrator. [19:21] PIci:I can't [19:22] FlacBean02: be sure to run update-grub or whatever it is to enact your config change [19:22] Pici: Its college LAN [19:22] bluefrog yes, and Im glad it is. It was just an odd entry. I noticed it when looking for the reason why my apache2 goes to 100%. [19:22] red_: they have an IT department, talk to them... [19:22] right. thanks again [19:22] red_: We can't help you override your network policies here. You need to speak to someone in charge of your network. [19:22] bluefrog which is mySQL related [19:23] ok just tell me how to configure vpnbook in xubuntu. [19:23] wait one more question. How do you mention someone in a reply like you are with me [19:23] !tab [19:23] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:24] FlacBean02, You can boot per session or change the default OS. [19:24] or kernel [19:25] FlacBean02: i type the first character of your nickname then use tab-complete [19:25] oh Pici got there, heh [19:25] vpnbook configure in xubuntu ? [19:25] Beldar Ubuntu is the only main OS. With the current Kernel not sure if its proposed or released but I can't boot into desktop so I have to jump back a version. [19:25] wiebels being a deployment project guy, I find it strange that you don't talk altogether though... [19:26] !vpn | red_ [19:26] red_: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [19:26] wiebels, or at least document changes made to a machine, especially a server, even if it's not in prod [19:26] daftykins like this [19:28] bluefrog its a local server used to run heavy numerical computations. It's maintained by the power-users. [19:28] FlacBean02, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring_GRUB_2 lots of info on the web. [19:28] wiebels was just a my thought. you do as you wish [19:28] bluefrog I agree with you, we should keep a list of changes [19:29] hi. I need a command to list the uid of the logged users [19:29] autoplayer: who [19:29] bluefrog thanks ;) [19:29] who can list the ids? [19:29] FlacBean02, I would remove the kernel that does not boot, there are several ways to do this. [19:29] Pici: who can list the ids? === steffan is now known as Guest50624 [19:31] I know how to remove the kernel but as it's the newest version available, upon removing it wont software update prompt me again to install the same version i removed? [19:31] autoplayer: i'm sure there's a better way but you can type 'w' and then when you have their user names, grep /etc/passwd [19:31] autoplayer, who [19:31] egrep -i "$(who -q | tr ' ' "|")" /etc/passwd | cut -f3 -d: [19:32] FlacBean02: it would yes [19:33] how do I start Oracle Weblogic server? [19:34] ilhami: By reading the documentation that comes with it [19:34] vpn connection failed ? any solution [19:34] autoplayer: you should be able to get it from ps too. [19:34] hi can anyone help me set up lvm with 4 tb disks? [19:35] FlacBean02, Why don't you address this non working kernel, for example are you using proprietary graphic drivers? [19:35] Saur0_: you have to use gpt labels, not mbr. that means, you have to use gparted, not fdisk for partitioning. [19:35] could anyone tell me what's going on here? rhythmbox will open, then it starts counting artists (up to around 48), but then it crashes. i'm on 12.10. [19:35] i'm using commandline [19:35] http://pastebin.com/HhKKFQTm [19:35] hi all [19:36] geirha hahahaha :D [19:36] Saur0_: Yes. Which doesnt affect what I just said :) [19:37] thats what i was thinking. i was using radeon drivers but they no longer show up in synaptic so not sure. i was going to research that after i fix not having to hold shift upon boot === HDRNotDanny is now known as HDRDan [19:37] How do I install Java 7 on Ubuntu 12.10? [19:37] wine [19:37] use wine [19:37] No GUI, mate. [19:38] And no, that's not what I meant. [19:38] HDRDan: openjdk [19:38] !java | HDRDan [19:38] HDRDan: 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. [19:38] yeah. [19:38] !java [19:38] sun jdk = Crap [19:38] sun jdk = Oracle = Crap //Sorry [19:38] waltercool, is there an apt-get for it? [19:38] HDRDan: Please read the link given. [19:38] Hah [19:38] That's for openJDK? [19:39] Read the link... [19:39] vpnbook connection failed always any soln ? [19:39] red_: Whats "vpnbook" and whats "soln"? [19:39] HDRDan: No, you need to "alien"ize it [19:39] No clue what that is. [19:40] Beldar: No synacptic shows them not installed [19:40] red_: Please keep it in this channel, not in my query. [19:40] bekks:sorry [19:40] waltercool, HDRDan: you shouldn't need to use alien to install anything. [19:41] Well, with the install on that page, I can't click, because I don't have a freaking GUI. [19:41] I need to do this from console. [19:41] bekks:sorry [19:41] Pici: another idea? [19:41] bekks:I am unable to connect vpn. [19:42] daftykins: hey thanks again for your time. [19:42] HDRDan: You don't need a gui. [19:42] Pici: HDRDan Oracle don't provide and don't let provide deb package for Oracle JDK. [19:42] i have a problem with intel-linux-graphics-installer, on "listing packages -> updating package cache" phase i get "E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored" however instaler dosent give me an option to continue install, is there some place where i can just download .deb file that will simply install drivers without bs [19:42] !details | red_ [19:42] red_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [19:43] Can I just give one of you access to the box? >_> [19:43] HDRDan: no [19:43] HDRDan: There are a few options listed here, they are very simple: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Installing_Oracle_Java_7_by_a_script_or_from_the_command_line [19:43] HDRDan: Why dont you just read the link given? [19:43] I don't want Oracle. [19:43] red: What did you try to do? How did you try to do it? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? [19:43] I want OpenJDK. [19:43] HDRDan: Then just read the link... [19:44] HDRDan: I thought you said you did want oracle. Sorry. Then install the openjdk-7-jre or openjdk-7-jdk package(s) [19:44] Okay, how do I do that without a browser to click in? [19:44] There's no wget or anything for the OpenJDK version. [19:44] HDRDan: sudo apt-get install packagename. Just like you'd install any other package. [19:45] I've already tried apt-get install openjdk-7 and openjdk [19:45] They were both not found. [19:45] HDRDan: You may find it convenient to install a console browser like lynx, and possibly to install and enable GDM for mouse capabilities in the console. [19:45] HDRDan, search for it in the software centre [19:45] kostkon: Pay 'tention: no GUI. [19:45] HDRDan, ah no gui [19:45] HDRDan: one moment... [19:45] ... [19:45] >_> [19:45] thanks. lol [19:46] HDRDan: You may need to enable additional repositories. [19:46] HDRDan: what release of Ubuntu are you using again? [19:46] 12.10 === Sudo is now known as Guest89431 [19:47] HDRDan: Then it should be available in the main repository. You need to type in the correct packagename though. It is openjdk-7-jre or openjdk-7-jdk [19:48] Yeah, I'm installing now. >_> [19:48] Thanks Pici. [19:48] has anyone had issues with touchpads in 13.10? I'm looking to fix mine since when I upgraded, the touchpad movement no longer works but clicking works fine [19:49] umib0zu:1 time I had this problem [19:49] red_ how'd you fix it? [19:51] within bash script I use "for file in /xx/* " to refer to all files within /xx but to refer to all files within xx as well its subfolders in the for statement, what can I use ? [19:51] it happens to be an elantec touchpad too. and its weird since it's totally detected in xinput [19:53] umib0zu:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection [19:54] bekks:I used it that time and it worked [19:55] Pici, now it's just sitting at http://puu.sh/7Jff7.png [19:55] Doing nothing. [19:55] This keeps happening. [19:55] hi chanel === ubuntu is now known as Guest48530 [19:55] umib0zu:I used it and it worked for me [19:55] huops [19:55] anyone have any clue as to why my rhythmbox opens for a couple seconds and crashes? http://pastebin.com/HhKKFQTm [19:57] HDRDan: But you don't need the sun jdk, isn't? In some way, sun jdk is different to openjdk (icedtea) [19:58] red_: I am sorry, but I cant help you as long as you do not provide any details but just generic statements like "doesnt work" or "this time it works". [19:58] waltercool, what? [19:58] o.o === bfiller-afk is now known as bfiller [20:00] HDRDan: Exists two java jdk, openjdk (opensource by SUN) and Oracle jdk (commonly sunjdk), the official one [20:00] I installed openjdk-7-jre [20:00] and it won't finish. [20:01] HDRDan: You need to compile or execute a java code? [20:01] bekks:I am configuring vpn(virtual private naetwork) in xubuntu.I have install it throug sudo apt-get install openvpn.but still I am unable to connect. [20:01] execute. [20:01] HDRDan: Oh, so, jre is what you need [20:01] I'm trying to get a freaking MInecraft server running. [20:01] Yeah. [20:01] lol [20:01] And it won't finish the install. [20:01] go with openjdk jre [20:01] I did. [20:01] and it's sitting here. [20:01] what error gives you? [20:01] doing nothing. [20:01] no error. [20:01] o.o [20:01] HDRDan you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted [20:01] i need to convert a pdf file to postscript so i can send to a printer using rlpr ... how do i convert a pdf to postscript ? [20:01] please [20:02] its on a LAMP server, no gui [20:03] waltercool, So what do I now? [20:03] I don't want to interrupt it because it would almost certainly break something. [20:04] HDRDan: if you type java -version, gives you something? [20:04] I can use "java -version" [20:04] Yeah [20:04] logikos: pdf2ps should do what you want [20:04] iam conducting a contest for my students on ubuntu i want to give only commandline interface for them how can i give that to them [20:04] oh, sorry, pdftops [20:04] HDRDan: So, you need to run minecraft server doing: java -jar .jar [20:04] It responds as it should, with java version "1.7.0_51" [20:04] red_: Define "unable to connect". Did you read the link given and did you configure openvpn? [20:04] Well, I'm installing McMyAdmin instead to take care of all that. [20:04] iop__: install ubuntu server [20:05] without installing ubuntu server can't i give that [20:05] But as I was saying the other screen that's open is still just sitting there, not finishing. [20:05] by some modifications [20:05] willwh, ty [20:05] iop__: what's the setup? class of computers you have no admin rights on? [20:05] HDRDan: Oh, that's a bit far of my help, IDK about McMyAdmin [20:05] iop__: well, you could probably play with run levels, or remote ubuntu-desktop package [20:05] I know how to install and use all of that. [20:05] remove* [20:06] I just 'flashed' the install ISO onto a USB stick on OS X, and when I put it in my drive, I get "The disk you inserted cannot be read by this computer" o.o [20:06] THe problem I'm still having is that http://puu.sh/7Jg8c.png is still there. [20:06] no remote session [20:06] by using runlevels? [20:06] That screenshot was taken just a second ago. [20:06] cant i give by using tty concept [20:07] willwh? [20:07] waltercool, http://puu.sh/7JgdC.png [20:07] None of that is related to McMyAdmin. [20:09] HDRDan: I see no problem with java, it's installed [20:09] ... okay... [20:10] http://puu.sh/7Jgq9.png waltercool: So that's normal? [20:11] iop__: yes probably [20:11] how to do that [20:11] I don't understand what you want fully though [20:11] no remote session? [20:11] what does that mean? [20:11] i want to give the individiual systems to my students [20:12] which would be open in commandline only [20:12] iop__: the most easy way would be creating one virtual machine, and just clone it. [20:12] how to do that [20:13] yep - look at virtualbox.... or vagrant is pretty nice [20:13] iop__: Install virtualbox, create a virtual machine, configure it to your needs, and clone it. [20:13] it uses virtualbox and let's you have templates [20:13] no no i didt want like that [20:13] but you don't really need vagrant, just make the image you want and clone it, like bekks says [20:13] virtualbox lets you have ovf/ova templates. No need for vagrant :) [20:13] HDRDan: No, seems like you are installing other stuff [20:13] can i initialize the tty1 at startup [20:14] I tried to install something else. [20:14] HDRDan: apt-get isn't very thread friendly [20:14] tty7 is gui but tty1 is not [20:14] I just restarted the box and said fuck it. [20:14] iop__: Using ubuntu server, you dont need to initialize anything. [20:14] can i do that [20:14] no no [20:14] i havent that much installation time [20:14] HDRDan: Please keep the language clean in here. [20:14] iop__: So you have to have that ready in 1 hour? [20:14] IdleOne, Sorry. [20:14] no worries [20:14] ya [20:15] I've been told before, but I'm really frustrated. [20:15] iop__: pm coming [20:15] no i want to open the system in tty1 session [20:15] or I'll paste it's only 3 lines (hehehe) [20:15] (1) Edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux (e.g. "sudo nano -w /etc/grub.d/10_linux") and comment out the line containing "vt.handoff", or change the number from 7 to some lower number. (I tried it both ways; they both worked.) [20:15] (2) Run "sudo update-grub" to apply the new configuration. [20:15] (3) Reboot. A usable virtual terminal with a login prompt comes up automatically. [20:15] iop__: press ctrl alt f1 then. [20:15] ya [20:15] ctrl+ alt + f1 [20:15] what I just pasted will start up tty1 instead of 7 [20:16] if i initialize that to the system at startup [20:16] on boot [20:16] ok tell me [20:16] iop__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1836985 [20:16] google man [20:16] that's all I am doin [20:16] HDRDan: So, you rebooted and still with this problem? [20:16] Nah. [20:16] Not anymore. [20:16] iop__: He already told you :) [20:16] don't ask to be spoon fed, use your brain [20:16] i used my than u man [20:17] u said it cant possible with the system [20:17] u said to use server os [20:17] iop__: Then please read what has been told, because it was a step by step guide. [20:17] you didn't give much context [20:17] but i given u the suggestion that tty session [20:17] why are you arguing, you have a solution and deadline [20:17] get going! [20:17] mind ur language [20:17] iop__: then stop argueing and read what has been said, three steps. follow them. [20:18] kk === unix is now known as Guest11850 [20:19] hi ! help me please TR [20:19] without pressing ctrl+alt+f1 [20:19] my system automatically logs into tty1 [20:19] iop__: without pressing ctrl alt f1. Still three steps which has been given. [20:20] Guest11850: what do you need? [20:20] ubuntu TR please [20:20] /join #ubuntu-tr [20:21] I have some issues with some pictures that are shown in the wrong colors. But when I switch to an other user every thing looks normal. Does anyone have a clue where to look? === Guest11850 is now known as olgac [20:22] for example green is shown pink in this image http://ic.tweakimg.net/ext/i/1392816987.png [20:22] jaapio: 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. [20:23] willwh: how do i use that with rlpr to send it to the printer ? [20:23] Jordan_U: but in that case it would happen to every user using this computer? [20:23] I was distro upgrading from 12.10 to 13.. And it crashed after hours of running.. not sure what to do now.. Don't want to restart or reboot for fear computer in unusable state.. I can still get online now here, and I am in a cl terminal.. Please advise [20:23] which is not the case [20:23] jaapio: 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] How do I concatenate to stdout-puts? like ... `tail -n1 file.csv` + `tail -n 200 file.csv | head -n 20` [20:25] jaapio: 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] in my system there is no vt.handoff here is the code of 10_linux http://pastebin.com/qSg0LAak [20:25] then how can i change vt.handoff === Dawn_ is now known as Rarity [20:25] iop__: In the greb menu. [20:25] iop__: In the grub menu. [20:26] didnt get that [20:26] iop__: Or in the grub config, as described here: [20:26] !grub2 | iop__ [20:26] iop__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:27] anyone? [20:27] in grub_cfg? [20:27] iop__: Did you read the link given? :) [20:27] iop__: the second one. [20:27] i will read [20:27] my system is kali linux [20:27] !kali | iop__ [20:27] iop__: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:31] Is there any point in wiping the hard drive before installing Ubuntu, if Windows is currently intsalled? [20:32] Hmmm... I'm using a crusty Intel desktop board with ICH7 and 4 disks in a RAID 5 .. the server boots off a spare single drive and I intend the RAID5 to be used for MySQL data.. When I do an fdisk -l .. it lists all the disks in the array and then lists the array as some wacky long /dev/mapper/ style id followed by the volume name I picked for the disk array.. I assumed I wanted to format the array but I get the following error when I try it: [20:32] WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) [20:32] I just 'flashed' the install ISO onto a USB stick on OS X, and when I put it in my drive, I get "The disk you inserted cannot be read by this computer" o.o [20:32] Anyone else run into this from OSX? === ping_ is now known as Guest9521 [20:33] like the ctf challenges is there any ubuntu challenges to practice and solve [20:33] like the ctf challenges is there any ubuntu challenges to practice and solve? [20:33] sylvanica: Yes OSX can’t read it, mine did the same. [20:34] bentSpace: cool, but if I try to reset and install ubuntu (on a windows 8.1 computer) it'll work? [20:34] hello [20:34] sir? [20:35] sylvanica: yes, windows should be able to read, just stick it in and do the try Ubuntu option and see if it works. [20:35] so I am not sure wat did it,maybe it was installing this ia32-libs thing for "Beyond Compare" or maybe just holding down the power button, but I am stuck in text mode [20:35] startx just shows a black screen [20:35] bentSpace: okay, thanks. I'm not looking forward to being locked out of my windows if it messes up the UEFI like it did last time :( [20:35] the x log indicates that x windows thinks everything is normal [20:35] maybe I am reading the wrong log [20:35] but it is booting to a text prompt [20:36] sylvanica: are you using the 64bit ubuntu? [20:36] bentSpace: yep [20:36] like the ctf challenges is there any ubuntu challenges to practice and solve [20:36] The new CLI in Win8.2 has a cygwin plugin that allows apt-get style installs for certified packages that don't call the window manager? [20:37] sylvanica: I don’t know anything about that, sorry. [20:37] hi, I have a laptop with no display (dead video card), and I would like to boot a USB stick with Ubuntu and ssh server installed so I can remote in right away [20:37] I like terminals, especially the nice colors in weechat and stuff, but I appreciated text mode more when I had the option to use graphics [20:37] does anyone know how i can set up a flash drive like this? [20:38] lduros borrow an old video card [20:39] you need _some_ kind of display dont you? [20:39] no, I'll use it as a fileserver [20:39] and to remote in at my home [20:39] i just want to install ubuntu server or something else into it [20:40] well I mean to install [20:40] then you could take it out [20:41] so once I have an old video card, how do I connect it to the laptop? [20:41] oh its a laptop lol [20:41] sorry [20:41] "hi, I have a laptop with no display (dead video card)" [20:41] :P [20:42] I have a laptop that has a display, but won't let me use xwindows. it just comes up with a black screen [20:43] i think some ia32-libs or something like that that I installed with apt-get yesterday messed up a bunch of stuff on my 64bit system, including apparently the display somehow [20:43] I need to figure out how to get x windows to work so that I can do my job [20:44] omg.. Why is remote desktop so much better than everything on Linux?? [20:44] * JFranks is pretty sure he's disconnected.. [20:44] I tried installing the drivers with apt-get but it says they are already installed [20:44] we can read you jfranks [20:45] Oddd.. Nobody knows about fakeraid/ICH based arrays and formatting the array? [20:45] I'm attempting to finish this crashed upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04... dpkg won't run.. keeps giving errors.... can someone help?? [20:46] tnk: pastebin some errors? [20:46] is it about unconfigured packages? [20:46] can someone help me figure out why x windows is just a black screen [20:48] willwh, what do you want to see? [20:48] willwh, give me whatever commands you want to see [20:48] runvnc: video display in xwindows could be a long stack of issues.. from the drivers for your card, to the video modes selected, vs. the available modes on the display.. :( [20:48] runvnc: did it ever work? what changed? [20:49] JFranks: yes it has been working perfectly [20:49] JFranks: last thing that I did that was weird was hold down the power to turn off the computer [20:49] willwh, what commands do you want to see? [20:49] runvnc: So probably a corrupt config forcing it to default to a basic config.. Hmmm [20:49] JFranks: reason I did that was because when I went to unlock the screen, [20:50] JFranks: I wasn't able to get back to the prompt to type my password [20:50] I forgot how to delete files on the terminal [20:50] Oh.. or it did a driver update while it was locked.. ? :p [20:50] JFranks: I could only move the mouse and look at the time, no keystrokes did anything. so held down power to shut down the machine [20:50] JFranks: before that, I suspect what jacked it up was [20:50] JFranks: I wanted to install this program called Beyond Compare which is a 32 bit program [20:51] I am on 64bit === makije|away is now known as makije [20:51] JFranks: so when I finally got it installed, I had to install this ia32-libs thing, and apt-get removed a ton of programs [20:51] after that, some things didnt work like double clicking on the folder icon to open the file browser [20:52] so I believe that apt-get decided I needed to remove some core packages related to 64bit something display [20:52] I mean I am guessing [20:52] at least I got to use Beyond Compare for awhile [20:52] its a great program [20:52] not really worth losing my display though [20:52] I forgot how to delete files on the terminal [20:52] Can anyone tell me how? [20:52] rm filename [20:53] UltimateNate: What files ? and where are these files located ? [20:53] UltimateNate: let's swap problems, you can have mine, I will take yours [20:53] UltimateNate: "rm file" [20:53] willwh, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153222/ copies of the dist-upgrade logs [20:54] There, I had to remove the xtightvnc tmp locks [20:54] maybe I don't really need graphics [20:55] I need to debug this web application, but maybe lynx or something will load the javascript [20:55] is there another text mode browser that is as good as or better than lynx [20:55] is making a user a sudoer user giving the user a root user access privilege [20:55] Can anybody help?? Distro upgrade went wrong.. I can't turn the computer off yet until I get this fixed, or it may be a dead system.. I can't afford this to be dead or so problematic.. These distro upgrades have got to work better than this! [20:56] Please see dist-upgrade log error here http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153222/ [20:56] 12.10 to 13.04 [20:56] Can't get dpkg to run..

Disk /dev/mapper/isw_djcghaiccf_R51400p1 doesn't contain a valid partition table ... Now how do I partition and format it? [21:02] tnk: upgrade should work because they get automated testing since some time. are that plain ubuntu souces? or are there 3rd party packages or sources? [21:02] UPS failure took down the entire virtual cluster. [21:02] k1l_, say what??? [21:02] Something something single point of failure. [21:02] tnk: plain ubuntu sources? [21:02] there are many sources [21:02] ubuntu as well as third party [21:02] it's a large desktop system i am upgrading [21:03] so dont blame ubuntu that upgrades dont work :/ [21:03] tnk: try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:03] tnk: do you need blueman? [21:04] I'd just apt-get remove --purge blueman [21:04] it's just a bluetooth manager applet [21:04] but ye - an upgrade dieing is a real pita to fix [21:04] you didn't take a backup before dist-upgrading? [21:04] willwh, i just removed blueman. i think it was a bluetooth management thing. i have no idea. and then i ran sudo apt-get install -f again, and this is the note i got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153294/ [21:04] if that and a aptget install -f doesnt work try "dpkg-reconfigure -a" [21:05] so do that :) [21:05] tnk: apt-get autoremove [21:05] then I would apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade one more time [21:05] just to be safe [21:05] dont autoremove. first run the update&&dist-upgrade [21:05] Bashing-om: elinks is awesome [21:05] i never upgrade over the internet im a download the iso make dvd then do my distro upgrade guy <3 [21:06] k1l_, i am running dpkg-reconfigure -a right now, which seems to be processing... [21:06] DQSII: Do you have a particularly unreliable interenet connection? [21:07] no i just dont trust doing it over the net i prefer doing it the way i stated to [21:07] k1l_, there are a bunch of errors about pdfstudio, a wine program, and apparmor [21:07] DQSII: You might consider joining the rest of us here in the 21st century some time. Dist-upgrade over the net has been reliable for quite some time. === quba is now known as Su7 [21:08] hey so I'm trying to test a website and my ninja fast internet is a problem.

[21:09] naegling: here's a real good s.o question on it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/614795/simulate-delayed-and-dropped-packets-on-linux [21:09] tnk: Um, no, they get overwritten by the dhcp client though.

[21:11] DQSII: sounds like a sensible way to dist-upgrade to me :) [21:11] can someone run this and tell me if it's working? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chilicuil/proposed-fixes [21:11] tnk: Your question makes no sense. [21:12] it is u dont run into issues doing it the dvd way like u can doing it over the internet that is why i prefer using a dvd to upgrade [21:12] DQSII: You're downloading hundreds of packages you don't need and will never use. [21:13] u know u can remove what u dont use i always do :) [21:13] DQSII: And yea, you'll be installing the same packages, so you'll run into the same issues. (Conversely, if you don't run into issues with the DVD, you won't on-line either.) [21:14] jhutchins, just relaying the dpkg reconfigure question displayed in the install screen [21:14] DQSII: You're still downloading - I didn't mean that you're installing them, you're downloading them and burning them to the disk and they never get installed.

[21:21] k1l_, jhutchins, it ended with a lot of 'not found' on compiz.config [21:22] tnk: It's only necessary if you deal with Windows files and programs, and then it's not much good. The only thing it's actually good for is if there's some requirement that you be running "antivirus sofware". If you really need something that actually works, check out AVG.

[21:57] Bashing-om, ubuntu 13.10 \n \l [21:58] iDevelop: Thanks, just getting my feet wet on this one, all help is welcome. [21:58] but what about the errors that stopped the gnome flashback session and such in the log of the dist-upgrade? [21:58] Bashing-om, [21:58] Which is a better app to use as a backup for someone who, the default Backup, dejadup or rsync or something else? [21:59] bentSpace: "better" is defined by your personal opinion and requirements. [21:59] Sorry, Which is a better app to use as a backup for someone who’s new to Linux , the default Backup, dejadup or rsync or something else? [21:59] Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153537/ [21:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153538/ [21:59] tnk1: OK, are you in the installer, as well as having a terminal open during the upgrade process ? It matters if the upgrade is still in progress. [21:59] Bashing-om, i had originally launched the installer from the terminal, yes [21:59] tnk1: look'n at pasties. [22:00] Bashing-om, i tried to follow the ubuntu wiki -- superkey, update manager, etc.. (but my super key didn't work, so i used terminal, and did the update-release-manager or whatever) [22:00] (upgrade-release or something) [22:00] bekks: just need something simple for someone else, would use the default, but I read some bad reviews, what do you think, is it safe? [22:01] Anyone here have experience with McMyAdmin and Ubuntu 12.04? [22:01] I'm fooling around with Ubuntu Server 12.04 command line only and I'm still learning. Anyway, for some reason, I can log in but I can't CD into my home folder. I can CD into /home but not the sub directory under that which matches my username. I have no idea why. [22:01] FulciLives: cd ~/ [22:01] bentSpace: It doesnt matter what I think at that point. You should choose the backup method which meets the requirements. [22:01] FulciLives: look at the permissions [22:01] !backup | bentSpace [22:01] bentSpace: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [22:02] chown myusername:myusername ~/* [22:02] there is no need to randomly change permissions [22:02] LOOK at the permissions before doing anything [22:02] How do I check the permissions :( [22:02] stat ~/* [22:02] FulciLives: ls -la [22:03] ikonia: stat is better, just sayin'. :P [22:03] tnk1: you still having trouble? [22:03] drwxr-xr-x 3 fulcilives fulcilives [22:03] bekks: Thanks. They wouldn’t make deja dup the default backup program if it sucked too bad, right? [22:03] bye then, [22:03] willwh, yeah.. Bashing-om is trying to help me... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153537/ [22:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153538/ [22:03] bentSpace, it works [22:04] bentSpace: My personal opinion doesnt count ;) [22:04] i need to know if the upgrade went through to successful completion. i'm still in the previous session where i ran the upgrade. i am trying to get to a solid upgraded xubuntu from this.. [22:04] hmm === Dawn_ is now known as Rarity [22:05] cat /usr/bin/lsb_release [22:05] ? [22:05] tnk1: ^ [22:05] willwh: "lsb_release -a" [22:05] willwh: cat on a binary file will mess up your terminal. [22:06] Bashing-om, what do you think? [22:06] If I type "stat ~/*" then I get: cannot stat '/home/fulcilives/*': No such file or directory [22:06] bekks: reset [22:06] that (should / could / might) clear your terminal [22:06] beandog: I know. But using cat on /usr/bin/lsb_release is nonsense, nonetheless :) [22:06] bekks: ? why [22:06] I want to run /home/user1/script.bash as user1 at boot. Anyone know how? [22:06] OH [22:06] on the binary [22:06] * beandog read as /etc [22:06] FulciLives: ls -lad ~ [22:07] will Deja dup automatically start deleting old backups if it runs out of space on the external hard drive it’s backing up to? [22:07] bentSpace: No. [22:07] tnk1: I think you're good....... if, you run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade [22:07] bentSpace: You have to configure what it should do. [22:07] and it returns fine [22:08] bekks: Is there a way to configure it, so that it does? [22:09] bentSpace: I never used dejadup, because it doesnt meet my requirements. [22:09] !dejadup [22:09] willwh, then what was the meaning of the gnome flashback error and the error ending of the upgrade process?? and the dpkg error 1? [22:09] hmm. [22:09] Bashing-om, what do you think? [22:09] Bashing-om, from the pasties? [22:10] did the upgrade actually succeed? [22:10] is it safe to reboot? [22:10] If I type "ls -lad ~" then I get: drwxr-xr-x 3 fulcilives fulcilives 4096 Mar 25 12:47 /home/fulcilives [22:10] FulciLives: and 'whoami' says that name? [22:11] Yes [22:11] Okular includes a feature to annotate PDF files. The following link explains both the problem I am having, as well as the solution. However, it explains it for OpenSuse. Could someone help me understand what I need to do in order to apply this information to Ubuntu 12.04 please? https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=95209 [22:11] Bashing-om, willwh, also check this pastebin out when i just attempted to install xubuntu-desktop... which i think i already ahve, because that's the lighter and more solid version i want to use from now on... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153568/ [22:12] apb1963: You have to use a more recent version of okular. [22:12] apb1963: At least an okular version more recent than KDE SC 4.9 [22:12] bekks: Acutally is says “Old backups will be kept until the backup location is low on space”, which sounds like it will start deleting if space gets low. [22:12] FulciLives: Try ls -nd ~ ; echo $UID and make sure the numbers match [22:12] http://i.imgur.com/IKwcmmT.png [22:13] bentSpace: If that meets your requirements, then you can be happy. It doesnt meet mine :) [22:13] I did that spjt, take a look see: http://i.imgur.com/lsaD9GZ.png [22:13] bekks: Thank you. But, I'm using the most recent version available in the ubuntu repos. [22:14] irc://irc.dingalingz.net/overflow [22:14] bekks: sounds good to me, what’s the problem? [22:14] is it just me, or did a recent update for ubuntu break the scroll change tab in firefox? [22:14] apb1963: Which, for 12.04, does not necessarily mean that you are using a version newer than KDE SC 4.9 [22:14] APLU: Which version are you actually using? [22:15] bekks: 12.04, why? [22:15] APLU: Sorry, tabfail. :) [22:15] Bashing-om, should i sudo apt-get autoremove the list they provided? [22:16] bekks: okey, np ^^ [22:16] FulciLives: check the permissions on /home with ls -ld /home [22:17] can someone confirm if it still works, if you updated today [22:17] http://i.imgur.com/yhFg5UY.png [22:17] tnk1: lemme get caught up on all the aboves, menawhil .. let's look at kernels pastbin -> ls -la /boot <-. [22:17] bekks: Sorry.. Konversation crashed again... so I missed any response you might have made. [22:17] I can't get to /home but not /home/fulcilives [22:17] Anyone here know anything about McMyAdmin? [22:18] FulciLives: what does 'pwd' return? [22:18] !anyone | HDRDan [22:18] HDRDan: Please just ask a specific question. [22:18] FulciLives: I can get to /home but not /home/user if /home is go-x [22:18] I have installed ubuntu in vmware in windows but , i want it to connect to the network just like an other computer , so i don't know which network connection to choose NAT or bridge or only-host , can any one help me out ? [22:18] Type "pwd" returns: /home/fulcilives [22:18] Well, I'd like to just chat with someone who knows what they're talking about. [22:18] FulciLives: make sure all the directories above your home directory are a+x [22:18] o.O [22:19] HDRDan: Then you have to search of a specific channel for McMyAdmin - or you just ask a specific question. [22:19] *for [22:19] I'm having an issue with MCPC+ finishing it's start up. It locks up and does nothing after a certain point. [22:19] FulciLives: so you're already *in* your home folder because ~ is short-hand for /home/$current_user [22:19] Not sure how to do that a+x thing you just mentioned spjt [22:19] I know about McMyAdmin [22:19] HDRDan: And do you mind to share "the specific point" with us? [22:19] http://stanto.me/software/installing-mcmyadmin-2-4-3-0-on-ubuntu-server-13-04-64-bit/ HDRDan [22:19] FulciLives: sudo chmod a+x /home [22:19] ... I've got the software installed. [22:19] ok [22:20] The server just won't finish starting up. [22:20] help please, [22:21] HDRDan: So you did follow http://wiki.phonicuk.com/Installing-McMyAdmin.ashx ? [22:21] nono: With what exactly? :) [22:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153620/ [22:21] Bashing-om, [22:21] I have installed ubuntu in vmware in windows but i want it to connect to the network just like an other computer , so i don't know which network connection to choose NAT or bridge or only-host , can any one help me out ? [22:22] Well I did the a+x thing but it is still behaving the same: http://i.imgur.com/CQqeDIV.png [22:22] FulciLives: 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] nono: Well, did you read the vmware documentation on what those networking modes actually mean? [22:22] FulciLives: do you understand what i meant when i said "/home/fulcilives/" = "~" ? [22:22] FulciLives: ... [22:22] FulciLives: type "ls -al" right now, you will see any *hidden* files in your home folder [22:23] Hi all, when i write sudo apt-get update i get "sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins" ubuntu 12.04. [22:23] Bashing-om, i will just reboot now and see if it comes up on 3.11 - that should be the more recent, right? [22:23] It just started when i was grant read write to some directories [22:23] FulciLives: It says ~ because ~ is a shorthand for /home/fulcilives [22:23] FulciLives: now type "echo test > textfile" and "ls" you will see "textfile" [22:23] where could have messed? [22:23] Bashing-om, brb [22:23] spjt: there's an echo in here [22:23] nono: https://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-10/topic/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-D9B0A52D-38A2-45D7-A9EB-987ACE77F93C.html [22:23] hey everyone [22:23] tnk1: Does not look real bad, I reseave my opinion till I see what kernels are presently availabale -> ls -la /boot <- . [22:23] daftykins, for the purpose of that test, wouldn't touch textfile have sufficed? [22:24] seednode: how many ways do you think there are to achieve any given task on a computer? [22:24] So I'm in my "home" directory then? http://i.imgur.com/ubCa5HM.png [22:24] Bashing-om, it's in the pastebin [22:24] FulciLives: yes [22:24] This is the command i was using sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/google [22:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153620/ [22:24] lol [22:24] daftykins, never enough ;) [22:24] OMG [22:24] Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153620/ [22:24] I'm so stupid, huh? [22:24] FulciLives: "pwd" which i told you to run - "print working directory" confirms this === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [22:24] But in the interest of saving keystrokes, because laziness is a virtue [22:24] "sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/google" [22:24] And saving nearly 10 whole bytes [22:25] ahhh okay I see now what pwd is doing or saying [22:25] Gee I'm sorry guys [22:25] hillary: Thata very bad idea. A very very bad one. [22:25] Thanks for the help [22:25] seednode: 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] so 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 output [22:25] FulciLives: I should know by now when someone says something "doesn't work" to ask what it does [22:25] daftykins, it's just a question [22:25] Was wondering if echo is better for some reason [22:25] hillary: You should consider reinstalling everything that is installed under /opt/google [22:25] oh you were actually asking - ok [22:26] though with this new exercise we need to use 2 files as inputs ... how can I do this in a similar manner? [22:26] FulciLives: dude, don't sweat it, at all ... it's all good :) [22:26] noobs ftw [22:26] bekks :oops how do i go about? [22:26] I attempted to pass both files using cat as a directory $ cat dir/* | ./mapper.py ... to no luck [22:26] I'll idle while I play around some more in case I have more questions heh but yes thanks again all. [22:26] hillary: Most likely, using the software center or your package management system. [22:26] where can i find the daily builds / beta of ubuntu 14.04? [22:27] spjt: btw please don't be too quick to throw around permission commands... especially when nothing's wrong ;) [22:27] hillary: Actually, you messed up permissions under /opt/google [22:27] skjones: google [22:27] daftykins: It would only have set them to the default. [22:27] * kelpie brings the donuts, says "hi" [22:27] unnecessary = unnecessary :) [22:28] bekks: ok. any terminal command i can run to correct the anormaly? [22:28] hillary: chmod -R is irreversible. Uninstall all applications under /opt/google and reinstall them. [22:28] tnk1: 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] ok [22:29] bekks: well, I dunno about *irreverisble* [22:29] difficult to restore to its native state, sure [22:29] beandog: Impossible, without reinstalling. [22:29] but if you know which files were supposed to be executable [22:29] then you could fix it [22:30] beandog: If you knew that, you would not have used chmod -R [22:30] ? [22:30] Sonds like they're all executable now [22:30] beandog: . [22:30] find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644 [22:30] find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0755 [22:30] ^^ fixxor to normal [22:30] beandog: LOL, no. [22:30] but you'd still have to chmod +x the binaries (whatever they are) [22:30] beandog: That messing up even more. [22:30] if i want to have some fun with the ubuntu src, should i be learning C or C++ or both? [22:31] zeroRooter: depends what you mean [22:31] bekks: I don't even know what the program is in /opt/google, so I could be totally off base. [22:31] beandog: What about binaries being 0555 or even setuid' [22:31] spjt, 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 joke [22:31] beandog: Reinstalling those applications is the only safe way to get them working properly again. [22:31] bekks: dude, I already said *twice* if you knew what the original perms were, you could fix it ... freep [22:31] bekks: and yes, I agree. reinstall ftw. :) [22:32] but anyway [22:32] zeroRooter: learn C [22:32] beandog: Please refrain from personal offenses. Thank you. [22:32] is there a limit to the number of devices that can be connected on a 28 port USB 2.0 hub? for some reason on Ubuntu I can only recognize 7 devices on the same USB hub while on Debian I can see all ports? === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [22:32] ok [22:32] bekks: *how* was that a personal offense??? whatever, tho, happy land is back. [22:32] bekks: curious though, I really did miss what program they installed .. what was it? [22:32] this is on the same hardware (just different boot partitions) === sysadmin is now known as Guest73322 [22:33] is Ubuntu 13.10 USB code/kernel crippled for some reason? [22:33] beandog: Ask hillary, not me :) [22:33] zeroRooter: 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] tymat: No, why? [22:33] tymat, wait, are you seriously using a 28-port unpowered USB hub? [22:33] hillary: what'd you install? [22:33] bekks: thx [22:33] Or is it powered [22:33] is there a limit to the number of devices that can be connected on a 28 port USB 2.0 hub? for some reason on Ubuntu I can only recognize 7 devices on the same USB hub while on Debian I can see all ports. [22:33] How long will it take to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 using a flashdrive? [22:33] this is the same exact hardware [22:34] tymat: The limit is 28. And thats a theoretical one, sonce you have to have an external power source for the hub. [22:34] when I boot on the debian partition I can see all devices just fine but when I'm on ubuntu 13.10 partition I just see 7 [22:34] spjt, what do you mean the ubuntu-specific stuff [22:34] so why is it working on Debian wheezy just fine? [22:34] the desktop apps? [22:34] beandog: was installing netbeans7.4 [22:34] zeroRooter: The utilities, etc [22:34] hillary: oh okay [22:34] hillary: Under /opt/google ?? [22:34] but not being seen (and sometimes kernel panics) on Ubuntu... on the same physical machine [22:35] zeroRooter: The question is, what do you want to build? Then go from there. [22:35] looks like a BUG! [22:35] tymat: then create a bug report :) [22:35] tymat: or just ... kernel configuration ... [22:35] zeroRooter: You'd have to pick a specific thing to work on, things are written in many different languages [22:35] oh, kernel panics [22:35] yah, that sucks. [22:35] so "crippled configuration" might be true [22:35] not sure what i want to build atm i have no good ideas :( [22:35] Linux is linux [22:35] No under opt/google is wtk (wireless tool kit for java me [22:35] it works on Debian (which has a slightly older kernel version) [22:36] but not on Ubuntu [22:36] zeroRooter: if you figure that out, you'll be golden. :) Otherwise, pick some languages, and go through the tutorials, and find what you like [22:36] zeroRooter: Find something that annoys you. [22:36] ? [22:37] spjt: heh, that's actually the best place to start ... find an itch to scratch [22:37] spjt, many things annoy me about ubuntu but i doubt i will be good enough to fix them [22:37] zeroRooter: You don't know until you try. Besides, you don't really have to know a language to fix bugs sometimes, if you know Java you'll probably be able to figure it out just from the context [22:38] there is diference betthen kernel ubuntu and debian [22:38] *between [22:38] Hi, how do i access my site through FTP? I have been tinkering through Putty and SSH [22:38] hwamokp66: Install a FTP server. [22:38] hwamokp66: You might just want to use sftp [22:38] bbekks: I cannot access even Synaptic package manager. It vibrates and disappear!!! [22:38] spjt: is there a package i can use apt-get isntall for? [22:39] hwamokp66: If you have ssh, you should have sftp already [22:39] hillary: Did you run another chmod -R command, accidentially? [22:39] spjt: so i should use the ip of my server and the account info for my root user? [22:39] !root | hwamokp66 [22:39] hwamokp66: 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/RootSudo [22:40] hwamokp66: It might not work for root. Try "sftp user@host" where user is the username and host is the hostname [22:40] I want to use filezilla, is this possible? [22:40] hwamokp66: sure. [22:40] what are the steps i need to do for that? [22:41] Install it, start it. [22:41] bekks:yes i did i have seen. But this was on some files in usr/lib which i neede to write data to them [22:41] i have filezilla, i know my ip adress, idk what i put in for he user and pass [22:41] hillary: As a user, you never need to do that. I suspect, you messed up even more. [22:41] hwamokp66: your username and password on that machine [22:42] spjt: so isnt htat my root account for the ssh? same info? [22:42] Conclusion: Ubuntu still sucks. Goodbye [22:42] but when i do using su everything goes well. [22:42] hwamokp66: By default, there is no root account accesible using ftp or ssh. [22:42] bekks: so how do i set up a ftp server? i have no cpanel. I'm running the server myself [22:42] hillary: su implies that you set a root password set as well. Do you have more desasters to tell us? [22:43] hwamokp66: you can use sftp which is already running. [22:43] hwamokp66: just use your username, your password and port 22 - in filezilla [22:43] bekks: worsk great! thanks. the 22 is the ssh port? [22:44] hwamokp66: Yes. [22:44] bekks: yes i did set root password. Indeed i have messed up i can see.!! [22:44] hillary: I suggest a clean reinstallation of the entire system then. [22:44] !sudo [22:45] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [22:45] you mean i reinstall the ubuntu 12.04?? [22:45] !root [22:45] 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/RootSudo [22:45] hillary: Yes. [22:45] is it normal to have /www/webiste.com? [22:45] Am done? [22:45] or should it be /www/public_html/website.com [22:45] hwamokp66: No. Neither nor. Those arent Ubuntu paths. :) [22:45] hillary: I'd say yes. [22:46] hwamokp66: general syntax is /var/www/website.com/htdocs [22:46] beandog: oh gotcha, thanks [22:46] :) [22:46] i can change permissions through sftp right? [22:46] depends on your client [22:46] filezilla? [22:47] hwamokp66: if your user hass the permissions to change permissions, yes. [22:47] its the root! [22:47] bekks: Since i can work from the root is okay i continue working from root? [22:47] hwamokp66: Hopefully it is not. [22:47] oh..? [22:47] hwamokp66: Clear NO. === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away [22:47] gna. [22:47] hillary: clear no. [22:47] i thought i was using hte root? [22:47] ru telling me not to use it, or its prob not a root [22:47] hwamokp66: We dont know which username you entered. [22:47] hwamokp66: dunno if filezilla has an interface to let you do it, right click on a directory / file and see [22:48] !root | hwamokp66 [22:48] hwamokp66: 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/RootSudo [22:48] i put in root and the password that the clodu hosting company gave me when i first started up the server? [22:48] !root | hillary [22:48] hillary: 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/RootSudo [22:48] hwamokp66: you're fine [22:48] i didnt need to do sudo to run anythign when i was in throuhg Putty [22:48] so its safe to say it IS the root accoutn no? [22:49] Bashing-om, will reboot it when finished with the work day... will keep you posted.. do you stay signed in to this irc channel? [22:49] hwamokp66: yes, thats safe. but it is not safe to use it all the time. [22:49] is there no way to highlight in the default document viewer? [22:50] I would like to install mongodb-server and mongodb-clients from saucy, while still keeping the remainder of my packages at precise. Is there a way to do so? (It's not in precise-backports, so I'm going a bit more manual.) [22:50] bekks: infact when i write su put password and invoke apt-get update it runs well [22:50] bekks: 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 help [22:51] hillary: 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] zeroRooter: You might want to try okular [22:51] ok [22:51] i can't live without highlighting ^_^ [22:52] Gents, has anyone installed CAC certificates on an Ubuntu rig and been able to use them to sign/view PKI emails? [22:52] zeroRooter: okular does highlighting and annotations and all that stuff [22:53] tnk1: , no I do mot stay signed on here, my primary focus is ubuntuforums. This issue, I think the next thing is to RE-boot, and clean up lots of things - that is a process in and of it's self. Re-boot and let's see where we stand. [22:53] ok, one sec [22:53] bekks: Thanks i will. === bfiller is now known as bfiller_afk [22:59] bekks: yes and I just installed Mono, and it's STILL not helped. [23:06] hi [23:07] hello [23:07] i am having annoying warning at startup : the disk drive /tmp is not ready yet or not present in ubuntu 12.04 lts [23:07] how can i fix it ? [23:08] you wait and it's here, no? [23:08] what? [23:09] verify the archive /etc/fstab ? [23:09] Looks like a known issue zubuntu: http://is.gd/gfFmSl [23:09] zubuntu, eventually the boot process finishes or not? [23:09] I seem to have no working keyboard in gnome ubuntu 13.10 64bit? [23:10] numlock works, key input does not [23:10] obviously I can't use the terminal to even begin to debug [23:10] zubuntu: is it encrypted? I had that warning before [23:11] Hornet, does the 4 & 6 number move your mouse? [23:12] OerHeks, one moment [23:12] pc in question in other room [23:12] Hornet then you have mouse emulation enabled, see if your keyboard or mouse menu has a mouse emulation option, i believe the keyboard menu [23:14] OerHeks: no, but numeric enter works [23:14] scroll lock won't toggle on either [23:14] Hornet, then i have no clue [23:14] :( [23:14] thanks all the same [23:15] google seems to imply I'm the only person to have experienced this, eve [23:15] Hornet: is it a USB or PS2 Keyboard? [23:15] *ever [23:15] ps2 [23:15] tried a usb, same [23:15] plugged in concurrently though [23:16] running from live env, if it matters [23:16] is there a way to upgrade 12.04LTS server to the latest 14.04 beta/daily build? [23:16] need to do some cli stuff before I can install [23:16] and can't do that without a keyboard... [23:18] Azendale: probably but not sure you'd want to yet, may as well wait [23:18] bluefrog: it opens ubuntu normally but it is giving that warning or error at start up [23:18] dont know why [23:18] I'm more interested to find out how to downgrade 14.04 :) [23:18] dragonfly: does that narrow it down at all? [23:18] Hornet: I've used betas before and it worked alright [23:18] spjt, re-install, there is no other downgrade [23:19] OerHeks: Yeah, I know. [23:19] can somebody help me pls ? [23:19] Hornet: have you rebooted and gotten the same result? [23:20] Azendale: If you really want to, you have to upgrade to each release before it. Then edit /etc/apt/sources.list to get 14.04. [23:20] The only real "problem" I've had with 14.04 is if you need anything from a ppa, forget it [23:20] fstab report is this : http://www.icqturkiye.com/paste/view/raw/5bcdc195 [23:21] zubuntu, then all is cool [23:21] bluefrog: why do i get that warning while booting then ? [23:22] because it has to wait for it to be ready. it's written [23:22] zubuntu, is the word wrap present in the file or just in the upload? [23:22] This 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 r [23:22] what Wulframn ? [23:23] sorry i didnt understand what u mean [23:23] Azendale: You'd be better off just upgrading to 13.10 [23:23] dragonfly: it's live, but yes [23:23] When I view the file you linked the lines are wrapped. Each line should be all on one line. [23:23] it has an error on startup, and the error reporter then has an error so I can't see what broke [23:23] Azendale: Or, just try to install whatever you want by hand [23:24] Wulframn: let me try it again [23:24] Azendale: or maybe it has a ppa [23:25] Wulframn: it s how you see [23:25] not wrapped or something else [23:25] Alright [23:25] spjt: 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] what should i do now ? [23:25] Hornet: try it without that keyboard and use a different one instead? [23:26] by the way what are the copy-paste-cut shortcuts in terminal ? [23:26] ctrl+c doesnt work [23:26] also ctrl+v [23:26] Azendale: Because 14.04 is less stable than 13.10, and you can just upgrade to 14.04 when it comes out. [23:27] zubuntu, shift ctrl c [23:27] always shift ? [23:27] ok thx [23:28] Azendale: Besides, if you do it now you're going to have to do every version upgrade anyway [23:28] Include shift. Or just type out the commands slowly and correctly [23:28] dragonfly, that's the only good keyboard I have, but I can try with an ancient USB one === Extensa5630 is now known as Shut-in [23:29] that would be my next attempt :S [23:29] k, back in a while I suppose then [23:29] zubuntu, select command you want to copy, don't bother with ctrl c, then in terminal press the middle mouse button (usually a wheel), Magic! [23:30] it's live so takes about 10 mins between reboot -> usable [23:30] spjt: ah, so whatever "magic" to allow an 12.04 -> 14.04 upgrade isn't set yet? Or are you saying after I'm on 14.04 and I want to go to 16.04 (when that happens) i'll have to go through 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 to get there? [23:31] Artemis3: i m using laptop no wheel [23:31] Azendale, you can upgrade from LTS to LTS [23:31] zubuntu, often, pushing both mouse buttons do the trick [23:32] Azendale: It will work after it's released, but now you need to do every version [23:32] in a bash script how can i remove 3 parts of a read down input? [23:32] Artemis3: pushing how ? [23:32] Zubuntu, using your fingers [23:33] if your touchpad has 2 buttons press both lol :) [23:33] lol Wulframn :p [23:37] hello, my ubuntu desktop wont wake up from suspend properly. All I get is a black blank screen. [23:38] spjt: Ok, thanks for the clarification. I think that makes the decision easy. I think the big reason to try to go to 14.04 was the one hop. [23:39] hello, my ubuntu desktop wont wake up from suspend properly. All I get is a black blank screen. [23:40] unicornjedi: do you see your cursor when this happens or not even that? [23:40] Azendale: fwiw i think you can only go LTS -> LTS once 14.04 hits a 14.04.1 release === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:40] dragonfly: i have the same problem, and i see my cursor [23:40] but is frozen [23:40] do any menus come up when you right click? [23:40] ...oh [23:41] dragonfly, nope no cursor [23:41] daftykins: wow, I didn't know that. Maybe I'm just too impatient for new releases and can't wait a whole two years, so LTS -> LTS upgrades are rare for me :) [23:41] Is there any way to get the tail command to only display a small portion of a line? IE I only want it to display the next 15 characters in my iptables log. [23:41] Errr, UFW log. [23:42] Guegs, see if #networking [23:42] Azendale: hehe, tbh with you we're not far away from 14.04 release, if i were you i'd just get experimenting with what you want to run with that [23:42] will provide some help [23:42] OK. Thanks unicornjedi. :-) [23:43] hello [23:44] Soooooo can anyone provide some help? my ubuntu desktop won't wake up properly from suspend [23:45] Is anyone willing and able to help an Arch user? The channel doesn't seem to want to answer me :/ [23:45] no, ubuntu support only in here i'm afraid [23:45] Aw :( [23:45] you'll have to be patient in their channel [23:45] they are slow like ... [23:46] Well, the problem does have more to do with the kernel and some firmware. Think that could be asked? xD [23:47] Lord why did you even mention Arch lol [23:47] my ubuntu desktop wont wake up from suspend properly. All I get is a black blank screen. [23:47] Lord-Ragnarock: I would ask anyway, some people might know [23:47] unicornjedi: I was having a blank screen today also [23:47] Haha, alright :D [23:48] unicornjedi: did you recently install any software? [23:48] runvnc, i updated the ubuntu base [23:48] Lord-Ragnarock, ##linux is a general help channel. [23:48] unicornjedi: what do you mean you updated ubuntu base sorry [23:48] runvnc, the problem keeps coming and going. For a month I dont have any problems... then BOOOOOM ubuntu slaps me in the face [23:48] with apt-get or what [23:49] runvnc, like sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:49] unicornjedi: is that when the problems started, after the upgrade? [23:49] hey, having little problems with sudo: somehow it wants the password, though I told not to ask :/ [23:50] runvnc, i dont really know. It comes and goes. I dont know the cause(s) [23:50] thoonai: http://askubuntu.com/questions/334318/sudoers-file-enable-nopasswd-for-user-all-commands [23:50] runvnc, would you like to see some logs and graphic card info? [23:51] unicornjedi: did it happen before the upgrade? [23:51] runvnc: thats exactly what I don't want ^^ [23:52] runvnc, yes [23:52] thoonai: if you describe what you do want that is different from what you said, then someone will be able to help you [23:52] put your sudoers in a gist [23:52] so, I'm planning on upgrading a machine that lives at an ISP. Is there any way to find what mirror has best bandwidth? [23:52] unicornjedi: if it happened before the upgrade then I guess we should assume the upgrade isnt relevant [23:52] runvnc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153939/ [23:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153941/ [23:52] I hope this helps [23:53] did anyone tried vimium ? [23:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7153943/ [23:53] thoonai: what do you want to do if its not what the link I pasted does [23:53] runvnc, please see these two pastebins [23:54] I'm getting some major tearing when moving windows up/down. Monitor rotation 90*. Any ideas? [23:55] runvnc: I want to exactly let the user thoonai to be only allowed exactly this command without password [23:55] unicornjedi: have you tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen#Problem:__Black_screen_after_resume [23:56] sarthak, switch video drivers? [23:57] no vimium users here ? [23:57] Azendale: Do not know of a terminal way, there is a means from the GUI Software Center. [23:57] runvnc, i dont understand this [23:58] hey guys i bought a new laptop recently and put ubuntu 13.10 on it but it randomly restartes my session and takes me to the login screen any idea? [23:58] runvnc: ^^? [23:59] unicornjedi I will try looking for updates. Though I should mention I am running gnome3 and HD2000 onboard. [23:59] thoonai: did you try USER HOST= NOPASSWD: VBOX exactly like that? is there anything else in the sudoers [23:59] runvnc: as the paste :/ [23:59] unicornjedi: that link seems to apply to your situation doesnt it?
