| imacanofcoke | Ubuntu installed properly with UEFI, when I boot[Windows 8*] from GRUB I get "error: unknown command 'drivemap'" and "error: invalid EFI file path." What do? | 00:05 |
| Viking667 | mtnbkr: sudo su - gets used to log into the root account when you have to have root, but don't have a password. | 00:05 |
| Viking667 | ... though I suspect you know that already. | 00:05 |
| Viking667 | anyhow, I'm clearly out of my depth here. | 00:05 |

| tackyjan | hello all | 00:17 |
| tackyjan | :) | 00:17 |
| tackyjan | can anyone help me with my fresh ubuntu installation? :) | 00:17 |
| wt | anyone here use EC2 AMIs of ubuntu | 00:17 |
| wt | I am trying to figure out why upgrading all packages (including the kernel) with salt doesn't update my /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:18 |
| wt | tackyjan, What's up? | 00:18 |
| teward | wt, have you tried doing `sudo update-grub`? | 00:20 |
| wt | yep | 00:20 |
| wt | update-grub (as root) doesn't seem to change the file | 00:20 |
| Mneu | If I keep my 14.04 daily install updated, it will be the same as the official release on release day right? | 00:21 |
| bazhang | yes | 00:21 |
| rww | ubottu: final | 00:21 |
| ubottu | If you install a development version of Ubuntu Trusty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 00:21 |
| Mneu | Thank you! | 00:22 |
| ixio2 | hi guys how to I enable mod_rewrite with vhosts? I have enabled the mod with a2enmod and restarted apache but do I need to add something to my vhost .conf files ? | 00:22 |
| wt | However, if I remove the kernel package and then reinstall it, grub-update magically starts working. | 00:23 |
| wt | This is true on at least trusty latest beta and saucy. | 00:23 |
| monoton | if I install a new version of ubuntu on a separate partition, will it upgrade GRUB too? (that have its files on this versions partition) or just leave grub as it is? | 00:24 |
| xar- | ixio2: of course, you need to add an AllowOverride directive. | 00:25 |
| wt | monoton, I think you can tell it not to install the bootloader during the installer. | 00:25 |
| monoton | if I then some time later delete the old ubuntu partition, will the boot menu break? | 00:25 |
| monoton | oh | 00:25 |
| ixio2 | xar- this is done inside the .conf file ? | 00:25 |
| Viking667 | I was wondering that myself, as I happen to have Fedora as well as Ubuntu installed. | 00:25 |
| xar- | ixio2: yes | 00:25 |

| erm3nda | Hi. Q: cannot do a sudo su command using Winscp on a Ubuntu machine. Anyone can help me? | 00:29 |
| simpleuser | Hi there. I’m creating a vps for the first time. At digitalocean. I choose the smallest one with 512MB / 1 CPU. By default, digitalocean suggests Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64. What do you think? | 00:29 |
| erm3nda | what do you prefer? | 00:30 |
| erm3nda | i like debian for servers | 00:30 |
| erm3nda | i have one digital ocean too | 00:30 |
| simpleuser | Is a 64bits interesting if there’s only 512mb ram? | 00:30 |
| rww | 12.04.3 is fine, though 14.04 is coming out next month so you'll probably want that in a few months. I'd go with 32-bit for that spec, not 64-bit, unless DO is special about that somehow. | 00:30 |
| rww | and yes, I'd be using Debian anyway, but this is #ubuntu so w/e | 00:30 |
| Viking667 | I'd also go for Debian on those specs | 00:30 |
| erm3nda | 64 bit only has importance when you have much more ram | 00:30 |
| simpleuser | Yeah, that’s what I thought… | 00:30 |
| erm3nda | but, use 64bit will not inflighe any damage :) | 00:31 |
| simpleuser | For Debian, maybe… but I’m more comfortable with Ubuntu. Especially for a first vps experience :) | 00:31 |
| erm3nda | hey Viking, did u see anything related to my question?? i can start whole process again | 00:31 |
| erm3nda | need to use winscp to my ubuntu server | 00:32 |
| simpleuser | So Ubuntu 13.10 x32 maybe ? | 00:32 |
| Viking667 | erm3nda: and use what command again? As what user? | 00:32 |
| Viking667 | simpleuser: yah. Don't forget though, with DO, what're you using it for? | 00:32 |
| Viking667 | i.e. what are you using the VPS to do? | 00:32 |
| erm3nda | i test winscp with other ubuntu machine, and is worling | 00:33 |
| erm3nda | maybe i do something wrong | 00:33 |
| simpleuser | Viking667, DO? I’m just hosting a small website | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | erm3nda: that's not the question I asked. | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | "DO" as in, Digital Ocean. | 00:33 |
| erm3nda | is a testing purpose, no production nor website | 00:33 |
| erm3nda | error when i tried to create a folder | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | right. So you're not likely to need a desktop version of Ubuntu... perhaps a Server version instead. | 00:33 |
| Viking667 | BUT... you really need to know your commandline in that case. | 00:34 |
| erm3nda | ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 00:34 |
| simpleuser | Viking667, oh. Ok for DO ^^ | 00:34 |
| Viking667 | erm3nda: right. What command are you trying to run? | 00:34 |
| simpleuser | Viking667, I’m cool with cli | 00:35 |
| Viking667 | good. If you're going with a debian-based system anyhow, you should be comfortable with setting up apache or whatever other web provider you'll use. | 00:35 |
| simpleuser | Viking667, I need a VPS to host my website with a specially configured mysql | 00:36 |
| Viking667 | Right. So you'll need mysql for sure, what're you using for web server? | 00:36 |
| simpleuser | Yep. | 00:36 |
| erm3nda | im not using any command, just connecting with winscp | 00:36 |
| simpleuser | apache | 00:36 |
| Viking667 | erm3nda: and? | 00:36 |
| erm3nda | i can connect using a normal account, cannot use root | 00:36 |
| erm3nda | if i use a normal account, cannot create files | 00:36 |
| erm3nda | because sudo i think | 00:36 |
| scam3r | why not just use a LAMP virtual machine..? | 00:36 |
| diamondflyer | good evening all | 00:37 |
| Viking667 | erm3nda: ahhh. it could be that you need to check if you're in the sudoer's group, and if your user is currently in /etc/sudoers.d/ | 00:37 |
| erm3nda | id try | 00:37 |
| erm3nda | that is on winscp documentation | 00:37 |
| simpleuser | scam3r, Need a special mysql configuration | 00:37 |
| scam3r | ok | 00:37 |
| Viking667 | anyhow I need to bail. | 00:37 |

| BlueProtoman | Help me. I tried to install MinGW on my (Ubuntu 13.10) computer, and I accidentally overwrote the headers for the standard library GCC normally uses. | 00:42 |
| erm3nda | Viking667: my /etc/sudoers.d directory is empty | 00:42 |
| erm3nda | how must i add a user? | 00:42 |
| erm3nda | would... wow, my english is destroyer level XD | 00:42 |
| erm3nda | BlueProtoman, you can dowload again headers | 00:43 |
| erm3nda | try apt-get install linux-headers | 00:43 |
| erm3nda | are a virtual package, it will tell you available packagers | 00:43 |
| BlueProtoman | erm3nda: Installing now, I'll let you know how it goes | 00:45 |
| erm3nda | MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED. Intead to enable sudo nor sudoers on ubuntu, i put a password for the root user... so now i use it yo my connection | 00:45 |
| erm3nda | hate sudo :S | 00:46 |
| qin | erm3nda: Fantastic, Ubuntu with broken sudo and root password, keep it up ;) | 00:46 |
| BlueProtoman | erm3nda: Nope, didn't work. | 00:47 |
| wt | Why does the following not put the new kernel into my /boot/grub/menu.lst? --> DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -o 'DPkg::Options::=--force-confold' -o 'DPkg::Options::=--force-confdef' install linux-image-virtual | 00:47 |

| kingplusplus | please how do i save a file to my PATH? dont know what that means | 00:48 |
| kingplusplus | this is the file i want to save in a directory in my PATH 256colors2.pl | 00:48 |
| Beldar | sydneyJDykstra, same as ever and 14.04 is on #ubuntu+1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 00:49 |
| kingplusplus | so my question is what is PATH and how do i go above some files in a director there | 00:49 |
| xar- | erm3nda: if you're using the root user directly, you're doing it wrong. | 00:50 |
| Beldar | erm3nda, a root password in ubuntu is not needed and not within it's design, and bad technique. | 00:50 |
| erm3nda | qin: xar: use the root is not a problem for my | 00:50 |
| erm3nda | problem is to manage sudo trought winscp program | 00:51 |
| Artemis3 | erm3nda, its your lack of skill, ie: sudo -i | 00:51 |
| erm3nda | im sure, im not a linux like defender, just using a workaround :( | 00:51 |
| scam3r | http://askubuntu.com/questions/141718/what-is-path-environment-variable-and-how-to-add-it | 00:51 |
| scam3r | PATH | 00:51 |
| scam3r | that should get you sorted... | 00:51 |
| erm3nda | artemis3, sure, im here for that reason, dont? | 00:51 |
| Beldar | erm3nda, Plenty of linux distros, that have a root password, ubuntu is not designed for it and use nicks here | 00:52 |
| xar- | erm3nda: It's not my business how you administer your environment; that being said, this topic is well documented @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo. I recommend reading this document to understand WHY root is disabled by design. | 00:52 |
| erm3nda | anyway, if anyone can help me, i will configure it to use the normal account and do the sudo | 00:52 |
| erm3nda | xar, i just a concrete sutuation, im not stupid, i know to use sudo | 00:52 |
| scam3r | just do "sudo passwd" and type the password u want for root.... | 00:52 |
| jpds | !noroot | scam3r | 00:53 |
| ubottu | scam3r: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 00:53 |
| erm3nda | i have problems using winscp with a normal account | 00:53 |
| erm3nda | damn | 00:53 |
| scam3r | ok... | 00:53 |
| Beldar | scam3r, root passwords are not part of this channels allowed help. | 00:53 |
| xar- | Beldar we don't need a channel echo. Ubottu already said it. | 00:53 |
| erm3nda | i dont need help with root password | 00:54 |
| erm3nda | i dont know what are you tipping... | 00:54 |
| Beldar | xar-, Dude we do not always see every post, so keep it to yourself. | 00:54 |
| xar- | erm3nda: Why not setup an unprivileged user and give ownership to the directory/files to the unprivileged user? | 00:54 |
| jpds | erm3nda: So you want to give a user sudo rights? | 00:55 |
| simpleuser | If I’m running an update or a compilation on my vps (digitalocean) through my firefox, and my browser (or my computer) crashes. What happens on my vps ? | 00:55 |
| xar- | simpleuser: probably best to ask DO directly | 00:55 |
| simpleuser | xar-, yeah. | 00:55 |
| simpleuser | Clever :p | 00:56 |
| xar- | imagine that right? :) | 00:56 |
| Beldar | xar-, And honestly you just repeated what I said above. | 00:56 |
| erm3nda | i got that error when i tried to do a sudo su command with winscp : sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified | 00:56 |
| qin | Oh... sudo su is not relly ok too | 00:56 |
| erm3nda | note: i've installed ssh_askpass and add some config to /etc/sudoers | 00:57 |
| jpds | erm3nda: Yeah, that's because SSH doesn't open a fake TTY by default. | 00:57 |
| erm3nda | my sudoer.d path is empy, dont know how to add a user | 00:57 |
| ahaddatechinicia | add a user to sudo? | 00:57 |
| erm3nda | to sudoers | 00:57 |
| kingplusplus | this is the file i want to save in a directory in my PATH 256colors2.pl so pleas where is my PATH? | 00:57 |
| jpds | kingplusplus: echo $PATH | 00:58 |
| BruceJP | for years I have used encfs - on a recent install I decided to allow the system encrypt my home directory. It seems VERY SLOW - is this something I have done wrong? | 00:58 |
| ahaddatechinicia | wouldn't you have to use visudo or something along those lines? | 00:58 |
| erm3nda | i put on /etc/sudoers file that: userALL=NOPASSWD: ALL | 00:58 |
| erm3nda | as specified on winscp help | 00:58 |
| ahaddatechinicia | may I ask how you are editing the sudoers file | 00:59 |
| erm3nda | i have disabled tty on /etc/sudoers file using that: Defaults:user !requiretty | 00:59 |
| erm3nda | using nano | 00:59 |
| erm3nda | nano /etc/sudoers | 01:00 |
| xar- | erm3nda: Why not simply create a user and/or group who's given privilege to access the resources you need it to? | 01:01 |
| erm3nda | because i dont know how to | 01:01 |
| ahaddatechinicia | The correct way to edit the sudoers file is with the visudo command | 01:01 |
| erm3nda | there's an admin group | 01:01 |
| erm3nda | adduser user admin ? | 01:01 |
| qin | erm3nda: ok, you add user to sudo: sudo adduser <username> sudo; but why would you need sudo for ftp client? | 01:01 |
| erm3nda | aha, sudo is the group? | 01:02 |
| erm3nda | ftp is shit, srry | 01:02 |
| erm3nda | i use scp | 01:02 |
| qin | or admin group | 01:02 |
| erm3nda | my user is already on sudo group | 01:02 |
| erm3nda | will try admin group | 01:03 |
| erm3nda | does not exist | 01:03 |
| ahaddatechinicia | erm I don't understand what you are trying to do | 01:03 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | My graphics seem to be stuck in 1024x768, the screen scales it up to 1200x900, then letterboxes it | 01:03 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | Anybody know how to go about fixing this? | 01:03 |
| qin | scam3r: dude, learn about permissions, and prepare directory for datastorage, so you would not need to wreck your system to use winscp | 01:03 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | A full screen wine program crashed when starting, and it's been like that since | 01:03 |

| erm3nda | won change owner of files | 01:04 |
| ahaddatechinicia | did you try using xrandr to set a custom resolution | 01:04 |
| erm3nda | won't | 01:04 |

| Wayward_Vagabond | ahaddatechinicia: Setting it to 1600x900 in the nvidia settings doesn't work | 01:04 |
| Foxhoundz | I need help | 01:05 |
| xar- | erm3nda: Linux is flexible, you can create a user and a group of any name of your choosing. | 01:05 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | it keeps the same scaling and shows the upper left 1024x768 of it | 01:05 |
| qin | erm3nda: you can create group, cant you? | 01:05 |
| Foxhoundz | for some reason apache is not rewriting modules | 01:05 |
| Foxhoundz | I mean | 01:05 |
| Foxhoundz | rewriting URLs | 01:05 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | xar-: I'll try there too | 01:05 |
| erm3nda | quin: i can | 01:05 |
| Foxhoundz | I enabled mod_rewriteb e but it's not working | 01:05 |
| ahaddatechinicia | try this: | 01:05 |
| ahaddatechinicia | cvt 1600x900 | 01:06 |
| ahaddatechinicia | in the terminal | 01:06 |
| erm3nda | i add my user to root group, permission denied to write anyway | 01:06 |
| erm3nda | Foxhoundz: ensure you enable it. a2enmod rewrite | 01:07 |
| zubuntu | hi | 01:07 |
| qin | erm3nda: so? use specifing permission for group "winscpgroup" and chenge group ownership of revelant directories and add revelant users to group, tada | 01:07 |
| ahaddatechinicia | erm, use visudo to edit the sudoers file | 01:07 |
| ahaddatechinicia | you must run visudo as root though | 01:07 |
| BlueProtoman | Help me. I tried to install MinGW on my (Ubuntu 13.10) computer, and I accidentally overwrote the headers for the standard library GCC normally uses. | 01:08 |

| Beldar | randomperson, since you started already, and seem to have been in the upgrade, not download, I would boot it to a command line and try sudo apt-get -f install and see if it finishes. | 01:43 |
| randomperson | Beldar: Thanks!! | 01:44 |
| Beldar | randomperson, Hope that works, no prob. | 01:44 |

| FreewheelinFrank | <AP>oh no what have you done | 02:02 |
| FreewheelinFrank | !ot AP | 02:03 |
| qin | FreewheelinFrank: Well either you can simply download iso and install using Startup Disk Creator, or copy raw image from usb with installed Ubuntu to empty usb, more difficult method. | 02:03 |
| FreewheelinFrank | <qin>so how do i get that selection to show on bootup? | 02:04 |
| qin | FreewheelinFrank: You mean live CD menu, or grub menu? | 02:05 |
| FreewheelinFrank | <qin>grub i guess because this is after i restart the computer, before it gets me to a login screen. | 02:07 |
| qin | FreewheelinFrank: hold Shift while booting | 02:07 |
| qin | FreewheelinFrank: What do you want to do? | 02:08 |

| Beldar | Xtremeasure, That is a ppa desktop. | 02:27 |
| Beldar | !ppa | 02:27 |

| pvl1 | ~/.xsession-errors | 02:28 |
| pvl1 | thank one | 02:28 |
| Xtremeasure | yeah it looks like one of the libs for cinnamon is throwing an error and Beldar i understand in 12.04 this is a PPA but was hoping to scratch someones brain on the issue | 02:30 |
| mmazing | i installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS alongside vanilla 12.04 LTS, and am trying to transfer application settings and whatnot from 12.04 -> 14.04, i backed up my 14.04 home dir and replaced it with 12.04, and there's a lot of jacked up stuff like window borders and colors and my application menu is wrong, obviously i killed some important settings | 02:30 |
| Xtremeasure | especially since it is a repository install on anything passed 12.04 | 02:31 |
| mmazing | so my question is -> what's a good way to move from 12.04 -> 14.04 gnome and keep settings | 02:31 |
| Beldar | Xtremeasure, PPA's are not supported here as the bots message says is all. | 02:31 |
| pvl1 | mmazing: what settings | 02:31 |
| mmazing | or do i need to go through .config and other directories by hand | 02:31 |
| Beldar | not anything release past 12.04 | 02:31 |
| mmazing | chrome settings, background, other application settings like steam etc | 02:31 |
| mmazing | i guess i should probably start over with wine, etc | 02:32 |
| pvl1 | mmazing: id make your home folder a dir in your new home folder... and just copy . files | 02:32 |
| pvl1 | er dirs | 02:32 |
| pvl1 | idkdoing this never failed for me | 02:32 |
| pvl1 | are you using the same DE as before | 02:32 |
| mmazing | pvl1: thanks, i'll try that, i just rsynced everything over to another folder and replaced everything | 02:33 |
| mmazing | just .files it is | 02:33 |
| Xtremeasure | yes there is a release passed 12.04? | 02:33 |
| xar- | Xtremeasure: /join #ubuntu+1 | 02:34 |
| bazhang | mmazing, you can do a one step LTS-LTS upgrade path | 02:34 |
| bazhang | 12.04--14.04 | 02:34 |
| bazhang | mmazing, what you are proposing is a HUGE amount of unnecessary work | 02:34 |
| mmazing | bazhang: i want to switch to ubuntu GNOME though, so would that still be possible? | 02:35 |
| bazhang | mmazing, yes | 02:35 |
| Beldar | mmazing, You can also separate your home to a partition in the future if not already done. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 02:35 |
| mmazing | hmm, ok, ill duplicate my 12.04 install partition and do an upgrade | 02:36 |
| pvl1 | http://xkcd.com/1343/ | 02:36 |
| bazhang | the LTS will not show as available until 4/17 mmazing | 02:36 |
| mmazing | im going to separate out my home directory, however my 12.04 is encrypted and im not quite ready to mess with that | 02:36 |
| bazhang | pvl1, dont paste that here | 02:36 |
| xar- | just make a backup, if things melt down, who cares, restore from the backup. | 02:36 |
| pvl1 | sorry | 02:36 |
| mmazing | xar-: i've got plenty of space, i like to be able to take a break and go back to my regular install and contemplate solutions while the other sits there borked :) | 02:37 |
| mgfox | hello? | 02:40 |
| pvl1 | hello! | 02:40 |
| mgfox | hi, i have a question regarding ubuntu live cd | 02:40 |
| mgfox | it just hangs at loading bootlogo | 02:40 |
| mgfox | any suggestions? | 02:41 |
| Beldar | mgfox, and hangs means? | 02:41 |
| bazhang | check the md5sum mgfox | 02:41 |
| bazhang | !md5 | mgfox | 02:41 |
| ubottu | mgfox: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:41 |
| vanishing | mgfox: try to add nomodeset before boot | 02:41 |
| xar- | pvl1: nice link lol | 02:41 |
| mgfox | black screen white text "loading bootlogo.." | 02:41 |
| pvl1 | thanks cabe | 02:41 |
| pvl1 | xar-: ** | 02:41 |
| xar- | pvl1: although the efficacy of manuals very much depends on the experience of the user; for novices for example, man pages are terrifying. | 02:42 |
| Beldar | mgfox, Try the nomodeset option, checking the md5sum is a good check as well. | 02:42 |
| pvl1 | xar-: i quickly fell in love with them. i think at one point i even knew how to search within a page | 02:42 |
| Beldar | !nomodeset | 02:42 |
| pvl1 | but then forgot | 02:42 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:42 |
| pvl1 | so i just google man pages xar- much easier to scroll and such | 02:43 |
| AP | omg | 02:43 |
| mgfox | nomodeset option? | 02:44 |

| Genitrust | i guess i could just do this with the debian disc... hmm... | 03:19 |
| Artemis3 | Genitrust, dd works with hybrid iso images, currently debian also works | 03:20 |
| Genitrust | sweeet | 03:20 |
| Artemis3 | Genitrust, you can also use unetbootin o multisystem | 03:20 |
| Genitrust | Artemis3, ok now an interesting question... | 03:21 |
| Genitrust | well, what's unetbootin ? is it a bios thing? | 03:21 |
| Artemis3 | its an app to put linux isos to usb sticks | 03:22 |
| Genitrust | right now i'm contemplating resizing the partition on my USB disk, and creating a new partition that's 512MB, and then booting from that partition. but then again, i know know how to select which partition i want to be bootable :( | 03:22 |
| Genitrust | i'm using gparted at the moment | 03:22 |
| Artemis3 | there is a boot flag you can set | 03:23 |
| Genitrust | ...in gparted? | 03:23 |
| Artemis3 | yes | 03:23 |
| Genitrust | oooh i see | 03:23 |
| Genitrust | not sure how to change it to boot tho | 03:24 |
| Genitrust | ah i see | 03:24 |
| Genitrust | thanks Artemis3 :) | 03:24 |
| Genitrust | gparted is pretty sweet | 03:24 |

| Beldar | ubunter_, Getting help here is based on your statement of the issues, to the channel. | 03:53 |
| ole__ | cfhowlett thanks but then i shal learn python | 03:53 |
| handsome | oh | 03:53 |
| Beldar | not asking the "anyone" question | 03:53 |
| handsome | why？ | 03:54 |
| ubunter_ | After completing Ubuntu installation through PXE booting, the client has no internet access, what would cause that issue? | 03:54 |
| cfhowlett | ole__, there are hundreds of "c" programming resources. choose one | 03:54 |
| Xtremeasure | ubunter: how are you trying to connect to the network | 03:55 |
| ole__ | cfhowlett yes but not in graphic statement thanks | 03:55 |
| ubunter_ | It's connected using ethernet port to my router. | 03:55 |
| sudormrf | Xtremeasure: working now. not sure why it didn’t in the first place :)D | 03:56 |
| geomyidae_ | I have two identical monitors. Windows uses the exact same configuration for both: 2560x1440 @ 60hz. One over HDMI, one over displayport. | 03:56 |
| geomyidae_ | But in Linux, nvidia only allows me to output 1080p over HDMI. How can I force modeline for ONLY the second monitor, and make it be the same modeline it uses for the DisplayPort? | 03:56 |
| Xtremeasure | sudormrf: sometimes things happen that way ;) its all good glad you figured it out | 03:56 |
| sudormrf | haha yeah :D | 03:56 |
| ubunter_ | I have worked on this issue for weeks, I have used PXEdust, FOG and still same result. | 03:57 |

| jrry | is there anyone how can help me with jackd | 03:59 |
| cfhowlett | jrry, ask in #ubuntustudio or #opensourcemusicans | 04:00 |
| jrry | I am running ubuntu studio and lexicon alphia | 04:00 |
| bazhang | try #jack jrry | 04:01 |
| jrry | new to this | 04:01 |
| sudormrf | is it safe to delete something from the /run/ directory? | 04:01 |
| ubunter_ | Ok so here's the steps I took. 1. Configured DHCP server 2. Install tftpd-hpa inetutils-inetd 3. Made Configurations for those tools 4. Download Ubuntu 12.04 ISO 5.Extracted and put proper files into proper directories. 6 PXE boot and installed Ubuntu 7.No internet access after installation is complete | 04:02 |
| Stanley00 | sudormrf: no. why do you want to do that? | 04:02 |
| sudormrf | Stanley00: even if said item doesn’t exist on the system anymore? | 04:03 |
| ubunter_ | Where could I have gone wrong in the steps? | 04:03 |
| Stanley00 | sudormrf: can you give an example? | 04:03 |
| === jono is now known as Guest60170 | ||
| sudormrf | Stanley00: sure. Installed program from github. realized program didn’t work how I wanted. removed most traces of it. found an empty folder for it in the /run/ directory | 04:04 |
| Stanley00 | sudormrf: mostly, /run is tmpfs, and will be cleaned when reboot. So basically, you don't need to clean it up manually. | 04:05 |
| jrry | can some help me with jackd | 04:05 |
| sudormrf | Stanley00: ah. ok :) | 04:05 |
| bazhang | jrry, ask in #jack | 04:05 |
| sudormrf | Stanley00: out of curiosity, are you aware of a way to cleanly remove things installed from github? | 04:06 |
| sudormrf | something like git remove or something | 04:06 |
| cfhowlett | !git | 04:06 |
| ubottu | git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 04:06 |
| kyi | good night | 04:07 |
| sudormrf | cfhowlett: first of all, link is bad because closing parenthesis is not part of the link. second of all, that doesn’t answer the question. but either way, I manually removed the program :). | 04:07 |
| sudormrf | was just curious if there was a more elegant way to remove things cloned from git | 04:08 |
| Stanley00 | sudormrf: well, I mostly used package from repos. If I need to install from source, I'll look at its makefile. And about the *runtime generate files*, and user config files, there no way I can clean it. | 04:08 |
| sudormrf | Stanley00: ic. yeah, was just hoping there was some sort of uninstaller I was overlooking. didn’t see anything in the man page for git. | 04:09 |
| Stanley00 | sudormrf: actually, git is just a version control, it CANNOT install or uninstall software. You just can get source from git, build, and install. And the install/uninstall job is done by the author of the source. | 04:11 |
| sudormrf | Stanley00: gotcha | 04:12 |
| sudormrf | thanks again :) | 04:12 |

| JCM83 | I see, even though it seemed relevant to me because I was excited about bobfox's level of mastery, it was off topic. I apologize. | 05:31 |
| bobfox | everything seems off topic in here. | 05:32 |

| dhruvasagar | Hey when I full-screen my terminal there is some space left over like here - http://i.imgur.com/DfdRHp7.png | 05:34 |
| dhruvasagar | how can I fix that ? | 05:34 |
| mrgoodcat | dhruvasagar: you mean at the bottom? | 05:35 |
| dhruvasagar | mrgoodcat: yes | 05:35 |
| bobfox | press F11 | 05:35 |
| mrgoodcat | thats because your terminal font size doesn't evenly divide into the # of vertical pixels | 05:35 |
| mrgoodcat | there isn't enough room for another row of text | 05:35 |
| dhruvasagar | mrgoodcat: wow, hmm | 05:36 |
| dhruvasagar | mrgoodcat: so I should play around with font-size? | 05:36 |
| mrgoodcat | you could play with your font size to add another row, or just leave it | 05:36 |
| mrgoodcat | it happens on my screen too | 05:36 |
| dhruvasagar | mrgoodcat: thanks! | 05:36 |
| JCM83 | dhruvasagar how do you do that? | 05:36 |
| dhruvasagar | JCM83: do what ? | 05:37 |
| JCM83 | dhruvasagar manipulate the font size in terminal | 05:37 |
| bobfox | JCM83: you honestly never use your terminal? | 05:37 |
| dhruvasagar | JCM83: terminal settings, or I could even go change font size system wide | 05:38 |
| mrgoodcat | JCM83: it depends on what terminal emulator you use | 05:39 |
| JCM83 | bobfox dude not if I can help it. | 05:39 |
| mrgoodcat | JCM83: that's too bad. the terminal has a lot of useful tools that the gui sometimes can't match | 05:40 |
| JCM83 | dhruvasager how would you do that? I can't find "settings" in my terminal. | 05:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | But in Linux the terminal is a Thing®! | 05:40 |
| dhruvasagar | mrgoodcat: s/can't/never | 05:40 |
| JCM83 | mrgoodcat yeah I can tell I'm just overwhelmed by what I experience as the counter-intuitiveness of the commands. | 05:40 |
| Simotek-Work | we should be encoraging people that they don't need to use the terminal if they don't want | 05:41 |
| Simotek-Work | why should your average user need the terminal? | 05:41 |
| mrgoodcat | JCM83: linuxcommand.org | 05:41 |
| bobfox | JCM83: terminal console usage and remembering the commands comes with experience too. and bash completion helps too! | 05:41 |
| JCM83 | what's bash completion? | 05:41 |
| bobfox | Simotek-Work: what the definition of average? | 05:42 |
| mrgoodcat | i agree with Simotek-Work. most average users won't want to use the terminal | 05:42 |
| bobfox | JCM83: bash completion completes the rest of the terminal command for you. | 05:42 |
| meonkeys | what does "Hardware" mean in "Hardware and maintenance updates" on http://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life ? | 05:42 |
| mrgoodcat | if the gui tools can be improved to the point where cli isn't neccesary that would be great | 05:42 |

| bobfox | type "mkdi" and press TAB and it will enter the rest of the command for you, as "mkdir". | 05:43 |
| Simotek-Work | bobfox take all the people in the world that use computers if you rank them in technical competence from 1 to 100 any user who is ranked between 30 and 70 is average | 05:43 |
| bobfox | that is bash completion. | 05:43 |
| ussher_ | I have my local server which had ubuntu-server on it. Then I installed media-buntu onto it. now the default boot up is media-ubuntu. How do I get the server to be the default. (been trying messing with update-grub but not succeeding) | 05:43 |
| bobfox | most shells have it. | 05:43 |
| dhruvasagar | meonkeys: it means they will stop supporting older hardware (for drivers etc) | 05:43 |
| bobfox | Simotek-Work: not convinced. but will give it to you. | 05:43 |
| meonkeys | dhruvasagar: ah, so they'll still do software security fixes (for instance), but if something is failing because the hardware is too old, that might be too bad. | 05:44 |

| JCM83 | so I guess I'm just not knowing how to turn it on? | 05:58 |
| bobfox | JCM83: then you should have bash completion. tbh, i have never heard of it 'not working'. EVER! | 06:00 |

| CryptoSiD | hi, im seeking for a way to monitor a command, everytime that command is used, id like to get mailed | 06:01 |
| CryptoSiD | whatsthe best method to do this | 06:01 |
| bobfox | CryptoSiD: what command you want to monitor? | 06:02 |
| CryptoSiD | *coind sendtoaddress | 06:02 |
| CryptoSiD | so in fact everytime *sendtoaddress* is used, in bash | 06:02 |
| CryptoSiD | id like to get mailed | 06:02 |
| CryptoSiD | with the entire command, so wallet name + amount at end | 06:03 |
| CryptoSiD | and also sendmany | 06:03 |
| bobfox | not too sure what you're trying to achieve with that actually. | 06:03 |
| CryptoSiD | is it important? | 06:03 |
| bobfox | might have to write a script for that. | 06:04 |
| CryptoSiD | yeah i guess but i dont code:D | 06:04 |
| bobfox | to give you a correct answer, then yes. | 06:04 |
| bobfox | it is important. | 06:04 |
| xar- | more bitcoin fluff presumably, totally unsupported here. | 06:04 |
| CryptoSiD | i want to know everytime someone use the sendtoaddress command | 06:04 |
| Simotek-Work | you could hack up something using the sendmail command | 06:04 |
| CryptoSiD | whatever the coind is | 06:04 |
| CryptoSiD | bitcoind litecoind mazacoind | 06:04 |
| CryptoSiD | whatever | 06:04 |
| bobfox | nothing interests me here. | 06:04 |
| bobfox | as soon as you mention bitcoin, i am out. | 06:05 |
| xar- | indeed, try #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps CryptoSiD | 06:05 |
| CryptoSiD | ok thx | 06:05 |

| bobfox | have you tried "sudo apt-get install -f | 06:10 |
| bobfox | " | 06:10 |
| starhunter | no | 06:10 |
| JCM83 | bobfox okay how do I use bash completion? | 06:10 |
| bobfox | JCM83: bash completion completes the rest of the terminal command for you. | 06:11 |
| bobfox | type "mkdi" and press TAB and it will enter the rest of the command for you, as "mkdir". | 06:11 |
| bobfox | or any other command. | 06:11 |
| bobfox | type "apt-" and then press TAB twice. it should present the apt- options for use in the terminal. | 06:12 |
| starhunter | result of 'install -f';Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 655 not upgraded. | 06:12 |
| bobfox | starhunter: so do that. | 06:12 |
| JCM83 | bobfox did you know that that did not come mentioned on my ubuntu manual | 06:12 |
| JCM83 | because I am not using an ubuntu manual and in fact I downloaded it on the internet and had to look up what "ubuntu" means | 06:13 |
| starhunter | i did it says: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 655 not upgraded. | 06:13 |
| bobfox | now try the installa again. | 06:13 |
| bobfox | JCM83: what manual? | 06:13 |
| JCM83 | bobfox yeah that's my point | 06:17 |

| JCM83 | I'm trying to save a configuration change in gedit's "accels" file and gedit (which I'm using to edit it) says I don't have permission to save that. Is this because I have that file open? | 06:23 |
| dev_lup | Did you try to edit in sudo mode? | 06:24 |
| mrgoodcat | No. Linux doesn't lock files the same way windows does | 06:25 |
| JCM83 | dev_lup I don't know how to do that, I only know how to get into sudo mode with the terminal. | 06:26 |
| JCM83 | dev_lup how do I edit in sudo mode with gedit? | 06:26 |
| dev_lup | yeah. so go to the folder where the file you want to edit is, via terminal | 06:26 |
| cfhowlett | JCM83, sudo gedit ... | 06:27 |
| dev_lup | and then type sudo gedit <filename> | 06:27 |
| JCM83 | cfhowlett if I do that I can't figure out how to find the .config for my own normal user's home. | 06:27 |
| cfhowlett | JCM83, use file manager to see the file. drag and drop to the the filename to terminal | 06:28 |
| JCM83 | cfhowlett file manager? Nautilus? | 06:28 |
| cfhowlett | JCM83, yes | 06:29 |

| SpaceRat | q0: ZIEL is a variable containing the values "router" and "settop" -> ZIEL="router settop" | 06:47 |

| Beldar | ubuNoob, "i couldnt get the command line to pop up" what dies that mean? | 07:23 |

| === soee_ is now known as soee | ||
| ubuNoob | Beldar it means i can't run sudo parted -l because i dont have commandline because i am still in the installation process | 07:24 |
| Beldar | ubuNoob, not much I can do then, if you have a install going, hope that is gpt, as you have 4 primary partitions. | 07:25 |
| ubuNoob | Beldar how can I reduce it to 3 so i can get the "free space" option? Please guide me | 07:26 |
| Beldar | ubuNoob, I don't know at this point what the HD is gpt or msdos so I'm hesitant to advise without that info. | 07:27 |
| Beldar | 1 mb partition makes me think gpt, normally that sda1 would be about 200mb | 07:28 |

| Beldar | ubuNoob, Have you imaged/cloned the W7, or have good backups and a install media? | 07:33 |

| Chuck_Norris | with alsamixer you can switch between sound card but you can only configure them, not switch on the fly | 07:36 |

| Beldar | ubuNoob, ? | 07:44 |

| Beldar | jm123, Can you read the bootscript? I would want that myself, it answers many questions needed here. | 08:23 |
| Beldar | not everyone goes that route though | 08:24 |
| jm123 | the win bootscript? | 08:24 |
| Beldar | !bootinfo | 08:25 |
| ubottu | Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 08:25 |
| Beldar | generally helpful in boot issues, but it does give an accurate outline of important issue | 08:25 |

| k1l_ | darkreaper: better ask more specific questions with info about what ubuntu exactly and what software etc. | 08:56 |
| darkreaper | how to not use irc as root? | 08:56 |
| k1l_ | darkreaper: how did you start irc? | 08:56 |

| Stanley00 | darkreaper: login as a normal user, and do not use sudo/gksu ? | 08:57 |
| Garo_ | KyouReeUs4nfo: I haven't tried. the 32 is optimal to me (32 * 512 byte sectors == 16KiB) because it matches the size in which mongodb operates. anything larger would most probably result in worse performance as my db access patterns are heavily random | 08:57 |
| DJones | darkreaper: You're logged in to your system as root, thats you've logged into irc as root | 08:57 |

| Bluewolf | Hi all, I have a Gigabyte Laptop which has double keys so that one can use the numeric keypad, the problem is that my keyboard is typing numbers and not letter. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? | 09:15 |
| Pricey | Bluewolf: num lock? | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | CaptainHeavy: probably a better question for #bash | 09:16 |
| Bluewolf | Pricey: Sadly its not as simple as that, the Numberlock key is the same as insert. Insert is set as the first key. | 09:17 |
| CyborgCygnus | Is there any more information about Ubuntu for Mobiles & Tablets then what is already on the website? I find it lacking in specifics such as release dates, if there will be images/installers for putting them on old devices, if they will even support old & new devices or if any companies have already released devices with it? | 09:17 |
| Ben64 | Bluewolf: usually laptops have a "fn" key for extra options, like using the key as numlock instead of insert | 09:18 |
| WannaBeGeekster | Can anyone tell me how to make NFS export directories underneath the primary export path? | 09:18 |
| RudyValencia | Why does my mouse pointer freeze when I click on/near an edge? | 09:18 |
| WannaBeGeekster | Like my export is here /home/test and I want to be able to map /home/test/123 without having to export everything | 09:18 |
| Bluewolf | Ben64: It has an Fn key next to the left ctrl key but its not doing anything when I press it? | 09:20 |
| WannaBeGeekster | That key usually requires a special driver or piece of software running to make it work right | 09:21 |
| CaptainHeavy | Ben64: cheers bud :) | 09:21 |
| Bluewolf | Ben64: Okay the Fn button works if I hold it down it allows me to enter keys like L, K, I, O, M. As soon as I let it go then the keys become numbers again? | 09:23 |
| Ben64 | then you probably need to hit the numlock key | 09:23 |

| Ben64 | Bluewolf: a tip - just because you can't get to the proper channel for your topic doesn't make it on topic in #ubuntu. It is deceptive to come in here and ask for help with non-ubuntu systems and potentially can cause problems | 09:28 |

| alquaida | hi | 09:49 |
| alquaida | all | 09:49 |
| Ben64 | photorec doesn't write anything to the drive/partition/image file it is reading from, that'd defeat the purpose | 09:49 |
| cristian_c | considering that last year I tried photorec and it did irreparable damages | 09:49 |
| Ben64 | thats not possible | 09:50 |
| cristian_c | and given that fsck did damage | 09:50 |
| cristian_c | uhm | 09:50 |
| cristian_c | Ben64, I'd like to recover the partition from .dd file, and photorec is a muddle | 09:51 |
| Ben64 | photorec works fine. if you want to continue arguing instead of trying what will work, go ahead, i won't participate any longer | 09:52 |

| hiteshtr | any one read what i asked :( | 10:22 |
| hussi | i m trying.. | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | hussi: install fatrat and run it, no java bloating the setup. If you enable the web ui and port forward on the router, you can set downloads going when you are out and about :) | 10:22 |
| jimbojambo | so .. i will reinstall ubuntu with no graphic ambience uhauhauha | 10:23 |

| hussi | thanks actionparsnip. | 10:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | hussi, it is all ok what ActionParsnip and other people could write to you, but what i wrote to you is the most easy way -.- | 10:24 |
| Chuck_Norris | :p | 10:24 |
| hussi | ok i will try | 10:24 |
| hussi | thank u alot. | 10:24 |
| jimbojambo | k1l_ it's not the correct vision of the case, i think | 10:24 |
| jimbojambo | because the main preferences is quite useless... | 10:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | anyone knows a command to switch between sound cards? -.- | 10:26 |
| Chuck_Norris | on tha fly | 10:26 |
| Guest0738 | Chuck_Norris: pulseaudio -c x (or: alsamixer -c x) Replace x with card number 0,1 etc | 10:29 |
| ihre | Chuck_Norris: with asoundconf you can change your primary soundcard with 1 command (2 to be sure though) :p | 10:29 |

| Chuck_Norris | both* of ya | 10:30 |
| atrioom | jimbojambo: man crontab has only information about how to edit crontab and that you shouldnt edit the underlying files directly | 10:32 |
| atrioom | jimbojambo: unfortunately nothing about where echos in executed scripts go... | 10:32 |
| swaagie | can I drop a (what I feel like) is a more general question related to screens than 14.04 here? kinda silent in the other channel :P | 10:32 |

| slikts | anyone know why my numlock key doesn't work in 13.10? | 10:34 |
| slikts | I can't turn on the numlock | 10:35 |
| slikts | the option to control mouse with keypad is off | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: does the system have a make and model, or is it a desktop? | 10:37 |
| gabmus | hello everyone | 10:38 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: it's a desktop, the keyboard is corsair vengeance k60 | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: if you run: xev and press numlock, does it make events? | 10:38 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:39 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | Chuck_Norris: Is that manually configured Openbox ? | 10:39 |
| slikts | it even says Num_Lock there | 10:39 |
| gabmus | i have some minor problems with my grub: i recently installed in a separate partition of my main hdd kubuntu and now whenever i boot up i see kubuntu grub, not the one from ubuntu-gnome which is my main system. i tried running sudo update-grub in ubuntu-gnome, but nothing changes. how do i get to boot ubuntu-gnome's grub instead of kubuntu's? | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: ok at least its sending signals, does the input change when numlock is pressed etc? | 10:41 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: I managed to enable it using numlockx(1) | 10:41 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: nothing happens when numlock is pressed | 10:41 |
| slikts | i.e., it's not toggled and remains off | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | gabmus: isnt it grub2 and grub2? How is it different? | 10:42 |
| gabmus | kubuntu's boots kubuntu first. also the changes made in /etc/defaults/grub aren't applied in ubuntu-gnome | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: you could use a keyboard key mapper and set that key to do the numlock function, it may just need to be told what your keyboard sends fo numlock. | 10:43 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: this rather stinks | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gabmus: why are you dual booting 2 identical OSes? You can install KDE in Ubuntu-gnome and select the session on the login screen..... | 10:43 |
| gabmus | dont worry about this, kubuntu is for tests with stuff. i dont want to compromise my main os plus i wanted to try kde out, this isnt the problem | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: are there any bugs reported? | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: sounds like the keyboard isnt sending standard signals to Xorg | 10:44 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: none that I could find by googling | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gabmus: ok, was just curious :) | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: then I suggest you report a bug | 10:45 |
| gabmus | np | 10:45 |
| endotermic | an use windows now | 10:45 |
| endotermic | jmsc: you can use windows now | 10:46 |
| gabmus | anyone? | 10:47 |
| gabmus | come on, anyone= | 10:50 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: the numlock problem is a known bug from at least 2010 | 10:53 |
| gabmus | im gonna say it again | 10:53 |
| gabmus | i have some minor problems with my grub: i recently installed in a separate partition of my main hdd kubuntu and now whenever i boot up i see kubuntu grub, not the one from ubuntu-gnome which is my main system. i tried running sudo update-grub in ubuntu-gnome, but nothing changes. how do i get to boot ubuntu-gnome's grub instead of kubuntu's? | 10:53 |
| humbag | gabmus: you'd want sudo grub-install <device> , run from the ubuntu-gnome side | 10:54 |
| gabmus | so sudo grub-install /dev/sda ? | 10:54 |
| gabmus | humbag: please respond | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: there you go then, weird signal from keyboard rather than standard signals | 10:56 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: how come xev says it's Num_Lock then? | 10:57 |
| humbag | 'the device which the bios will boot' | 10:58 |
| gabmus | perfect | 10:58 |
| gabmus | done, lets try | 10:58 |

| Laurenceb__ | i have a problem, FAT32 files have time offset by an hour | 11:00 |
| Laurenceb__ | anyone got any ideas how to fix this? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: not sure, but looks like you need to manually map the key yourself.... | 11:01 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: joy | 11:02 |
| gabmus | it works, thanks :D | 11:02 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: I only ever use the keypad for numbers, so I'll just leave it always on | 11:02 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: I added `numlockx on` to xinitrc | 11:02 |

| ironsquid | here | 11:13 |
| Laurenceb__ | i have a problem with fat32 timestamps | 11:13 |
| Hfuy | I have a cellphone here that does USB tethering to Windows laptops; is there any chance I can get this working on Ubuntu? | 11:13 |

| cfhowlett | Laurenceb__, ask your ubuntu question. | 11:13 |
| Laurenceb__ | they are defaulting to UTC | 11:13 |

| ironsquid | Hfuy I run a droid off my laptop | 11:13 |
| cfhowlett | Hfuy, what version of ubuntu and what kind of phone? | 11:13 |
| Laurenceb__ | this means i cant sync with windows | 11:14 |
| k1l_ | Hfuy: depends on that phone(or on the phone OS) | 11:14 |
| Laurenceb__ | as the times are offset | 11:14 |
| Hfuy | It's a droid | 11:14 |
| `ryban | back :) | 11:14 |

| Hfuy | Well, the only thing I can add is that my other option is to use the wifi hotspot feature in the phone, which may be easier. | 11:15 |
| k1l_ | Hfuy: in general thetering roks ootb with "droid" | 11:15 |
| gtuckerkellogg | ironsquid, There's no HDMI, but there's a DVI. Same thing. It just goes into power save mode. Very weird | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | Hfuy, you need to use | 11:15 |
| Hfuy | k1l_: Well, I plugged it in, and it doesn't seem to work very well. | 11:15 |
| Hfuy | I'm sure my ubuntu install will be seen as horribly outdated, but one could update linux weekly and be seen as horribly outdated, so :) | 11:15 |
| k1l_ | Hfuy: sry, but without exact versions of "droid" and ubuntu we cant help you. | 11:16 |
| Hfuy | I have no idea what version the phone is. I bought it yesterday, brand new. | 11:16 |
| Hfuy | it's a very basic one | 11:16 |
| k1l_ | Hfuy: i just but my "droid" with usb cable in and it works. so just think of the details that are missing | 11:16 |
| Hfuy | An LG E410i | 11:16 |

| Hfuy | On another issue - is there anything I could conceivably turn off or down to speed this laptop up? It's just a little atom netbook and the full Compiz experience seems to be a bit much for it. | 11:22 |
| cfhowlett | Hfuy, install lxde. logout. select lxde session. login. | 11:23 |
| Hfuy | lxde? | 11:23 |
| k1l_ | !lubuntu | Hfuy | 11:24 |
| ubottu | Hfuy: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 11:24 |
| Hfuy | Hmm, okay. | 11:24 |
| Hfuy | I'm a bit cautious about installing things that are "not ubuntu" on the basis that the reason to use ubuntu is that it's fairly well supported. | 11:24 |
| dw1 | Hfuy: http://www.howtogeek.com/107368/how-to-install-the-lightweight-lxde-desktop-on-ubuntu/ | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | Hfuy, then install lubuntu = ubuntu + lxde | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | from canonical | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors|Hfuy, | 11:25 |
| ubottu | Hfuy,: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 11:25 |
| Hfuy | Righto | 11:25 |
| Hfuy | I think this Ubuntu install may have died anyway. Can't get it to boot. | 11:25 |
| * Hfuy delivers swift kick to laptop | 11:25 | |
| dw1 | i run lubuntu on a very low power netbook - runs good | 11:26 |
| delkin | During boot is it possible to have a service that changes the hostname before the network services are brought up? Is the file system still Read-only when the networking services run? | 11:26 |
| Hfuy | Problem is, will this create horrendous compatibility problems with things like (for instance) USB tethering or running Open Office. | 11:26 |
| cfhowlett | Hfuy, uh NO it will not. open office runs fine on all official flavors of ubuntu. | 11:27 |
| dw1 | its just a window manager on top of all the real mechanics | 11:27 |
| Hfuy | OK, I might look at that | 11:27 |
| Hfuy | Rather fed up with being able to type five seconds ahead of the screen update. | 11:27 |
| Hfuy | I mean, it's pretty, and all, but... | 11:28 |
| dw1 | theres also the "No effects" ubuntu desktop you can choose from the login screen | 11:28 |
| bgardner | Laurenceb__: Is this a removable drive, like a flash drive? | 11:28 |
| Laurenceb__ | yes | 11:28 |
| Hfuy | I'm not sure how much of it is the desktop, and how much is otherthings. | 11:28 |
| Hfuy | Certainly it's a bit sluggish with modern, heavy web UIs like Yahoo Mail. | 11:29 |
| Hfuy | (Though that's twelve kinds of terrible anyway) | 11:29 |
| cfhowlett | Hfuy, you're running an atom notebook = low specs. lubuntu and xubuntu are optimized for low spec hardware. ubuntu is NOT optimized in that manner. | 11:29 |
| Hfuy | It's theoretically supposed to have some sort of nvidia graphics hardware in it which is presumably what's letting it do compiz at all. | 11:30 |
| Hfuy | But you're right, it ain't great. | 11:30 |
| Hfuy | Frankly it's like it was under win7 ;/ | 11:30 |
| bgardner | Laurenceb__: Have you customized fstab at all, or are you just using the default mount options? | 11:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Malsasa: what does a 'resetter' do to a printer? | 11:43 |
| rapid32 | what can i do about: libudev0:amd64 175-0ubuntu9.4 cannot be configured because libudev0:i386 is in a different version (175-0ubuntu9.5)? | 11:45 |
| g105b | I'm having trouble booting on my Intel NUC PC. Just installed Ubuntu 13.10 on a fresh mSATA drive -- isn't being detected as bootable. Something about UEFI? | 11:46 |
| Malsasa | ActionParsnip: in Windows, you can stop blinking printer by doing resetting. Blinking printer means the printer won't print anything because the limitation value on it's EEPROM. The limitation sets by printer vendor, and the resetter software reset the value to zero. Only that what I know, Sir. | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Malsasa: sounds like a bad printer, or a cheap printer | 11:49 |
| Malsasa | ActionParsnip: no, almost all Canon printer has that habit. That is what I know. Look for "canon printer resetter" keyword on Google and you will see how useful is that. You don't need to bring your printer to service center to do it (and you save much money). | 11:50 |
| * Malsasa sorry for my bad english, Sir | 11:51 | |
| OerHeks | Malsasa, so you want to cancel the current printjob? | 11:52 |
| Malsasa | OerHeks: hmmm, I just looking for software for printer resetting, Sir. If you don't reset the blinking printer, you will never print anything. That is the characteristic of almost all Canon printers I know. | 11:53 |
| * Malsasa correct me if I'm wrong, thank you... | 11:53 | |
| ActionParsnip | Malsasa: Canon support Linux quite well, have you checked the Canon Europe site | 11:53 |
| Malsasa | ActionParsnip: hm, thank you so much. But all of resetter software I have looked at Windows, are third parties. Canon won't make a resetter, I think. The main function of resetter is to avoid you to bring your printer again to the service center. | 11:55 |
| OerHeks | Malsasa, turn off and on again should do that | 11:56 |
| OerHeks | Malsasa, i can't find such option to reset your printer, only hold/cancel printjobs, open your browser and surf to localhost:631 #to manage printjobs and settings | 11:57 |
| Malsasa | OerHeks: no, no. Have you ever did a printer resetting on Windows? If resetting is as simple of that, there is no need a resetter to be. Resetting means rewritting the EEPROM of printer to zero value. | 11:57 |
| stevenm | hey whats the diff between using "http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security" and "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security" ? | 11:57 |
| Malsasa | OerHeks: every you print a paper, the EEPROM value increase 1. Increase again, again, again until the limit value set by vendor. Nah, what to do if the limit reached? Resetting, Sir. The software named resetter. | 11:59 |
| Malsasa | OerHeks: thank you so much for your attention. | 11:59 |
| OerHeks | Malsasa, the only printcounter i know, could be in the printercartridge, there are hardwaretools to reset those, but the counter in your printer cannot be reset AFAIK | 12:00 |
| Malsasa | OerHeks: but look at resetter software for Canon, as example. Maybe you can google it. I found all printer technicians (not Canon official) on my country always use resetter to do it. And as result, the printer works again. | 12:01 |

| stevenm | slikts, the old gnome 2 (what ubuntu used to use before unity) isn't far off - look at the 'mate' project as they continue it | 12:27 |
| slikts | stevenm: since when gnome 2 was like w7's taskbar | 12:27 |
| slikts | stevenm: in gnome 2 you didn't launch software from the taskbar | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | slikts, "exactly like windows 7" ? no. | 12:28 |
| heinvd | any one any ideas on the monitor issue? | 12:28 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | What's the proper way to specify a wildcard, or anything containing a given snippet for killall? | 12:28 |
| stevenm | well I said it isn't far off... you *can* have a taskbar at the bottom with a start-menu like button and a tray area | 12:28 |
| JBtje | My samba server stopped, anyone can help me find out the problem? | 12:28 |

The install CD contains many server applications.

| slikts | stevenm: w7's taskbar is a launcher/dock, like unity's, while in gnome it's like in windows xp, just a taskbar | 12:29 |
| slikts | stevenm: in gnome 2 that is | 12:29 |
| slikts | stevenm: big difference | 12:29 |
| yorwos | ok with info cdrtools something like a text book came uo with hundreds of pages | 12:30 |
| stevenm | a 'launcher/dock' !? it's a damned taskbar - not an apple dock | 12:30 |
| slikts | stevenm: in unity or w7+ it's also a launcher | 12:30 |
| Wayward_Vagabond | Erm, taskbar? | 12:30 |
| stevenm | slikts, you can have as many icons for it to be a 'launcher' as you like on gnome 2/mate as well | 12:30 |
| stevenm | i'm guessing you want something where the button a) launches it and b) clicking again brings up the open running copy | 12:31 |
| slikts | stevenm: no that is like quick launch in windows xp, not like w7 or unity | 12:31 |
| slikts | stevenm: yes | 12:31 |

| zubuntu | yes ikonia now i am on active 12.04 at the moment | 13:19 |
| ikonia | zubuntu: is that booted from the pen drive | 13:20 |
| zubuntu | no ikonia | 13:20 |

| zubuntu | it s already installed | 13:20 |

| Yoshi2889 | For some reason the installer does not detect Win8 though, is that a known bug? | 13:31 |
| slikts | bekks: eh | 13:31 |
| zubuntu | i hope they put new icons into 14.04 :/ | 13:31 |
| bekks | slikts: whats the actual question behind that? :) | 13:31 |
| slikts | bekks: the question is whether it's a thing people do | 13:32 |
| bekks | slikts: so why do you want to know that? | 13:32 |
| slikts | bekks: I have an ssd and 16 gb of ram and I want to move things to tmpfs where possible | 13:32 |
| slikts | bekks: to reduce ssd wear | 13:32 |
| cfhowlett | !trim | 13:32 |
| ubottu | Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. See http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. | 13:32 |
| slikts | bekks: already moved /tmp and /var/tmp and ~/.cache/google-chrome to tmpfs | 13:33 |
| Yoshi2889 | I'm currently using Custom to choose custom partitioning. By Mount point on the free space I created, do I choose / to put everything on that partition? | 13:33 |
| bekks | slikts: Unless your ssd is about 10y old, you dont have to worry about ssd wearing. | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | Yoshi2889, that is the normal | 13:33 |
| Yoshi2889 | cfhowlett: What do you mean? Is it the default? | 13:34 |
| cfhowlett | Yoshi2889, not the default so much as the usual way people do it. NOT the only way ... | 13:34 |
| slikts | bekks: I have even less to worry about when it comes to free ram | 13:34 |
| bekks | slikts: I dont get that context, sorry. | 13:35 |
| Yoshi2889 | cfhowlett: Okay, so that should work fine? And would it be the only thing I'd need to create? Want to make sure before I do something stupid :P | 13:35 |
| slikts | bekks: tmpfs uses ram | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | Yoshi2889, go for it ... | 13:35 |
| Yoshi2889 | Awesome, lets go | 13:36 |
| icebox_ | hey guys | 13:36 |
| Yoshi2889 | Ah it mentions swap space | 13:36 |
| raub | Have a linux 12.04 desktop that is setup for kerberos auth | 13:36 |
| icebox_ | can someone help me | 13:36 |
| snoooop | hi all, I try to create a bootable USB installation on my ma rEFitcbook, can anybody point me to some instructions on how to do this? I don't have OSX installed so I can't install rEFIt | 13:36 |

| Yoshi2889 | cfhowlett: I bet it would, 8GB and I never managed to get anywhere close to 6 on any Linux distro ;) | 13:37 |
| snoooop | * ma rEFitcbook macbook ,, sorry about that | 13:37 |
| cfhowlett | Yoshi2889, 8 gb of ram? | 13:37 |
| Yoshi2889 | Yep | 13:37 |
| Yoshi2889 | Unity is awesome with touch by the way | 13:37 |
| raub | after last reboot it is not showing a list of the kerberos/ldap users int he gui login screen but we can login as a kerberos user at the text login screen | 13:38 |
| Yoshi2889 | Also, if on a laptop with Optimus and no Bumblebee is used, it will only use the Intel GPU right? | 13:41 |
| bekks | Yoshi2889: yes. | 13:41 |
| Yoshi2889 | Awesome | 13:41 |
| Yoshi2889 | Bumblebee is pretty crappy anyway last time I tried :P | 13:41 |
| Yoshi2889 | Great effort, but I got 20 FPS in Minecraft whereas under Windows I get 200+ | 13:42 |
| Yoshi2889 | Hell the Intel GPU got 60 | 13:42 |
| bekks | Yoshi2889: try using nvidia-prime then. | 13:42 |
| Yoshi2889 | Nah I'll leave gaming to Windows for now. I heard Wayland will at least support Optimus, not sure what Mir will do but I guess it also will | 13:42 |
| cfhowlett | Yoshi2889, no mir before 2015 | 13:44 |
| slikts | why mir over wayland in the first place? | 13:44 |
| Yoshi2889 | slikts: I was wondering the same, though Canonical wants one display server for all their platforms (phone, tablet, desktop) I guess | 13:45 |
| Luyin | slikts: because Canonical is going its own way | 13:45 |
| Yoshi2889 | Any advantages of using the Intel driver stack over the Linux stuff built-in to the kernel? | 13:46 |
| slikts | booting 13.10 is just so damn slow compared to windows, ubuntu always gets stuck in the login screen for a while before all the graphics are displayed | 13:49 |
| slikts | this is on a fast ssd | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: you cansay that about any 2 similar products | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: why Firefox over Chromium? Why Gedit over Mousepad? | 13:49 |

| ActionParsnip | slikts: are you running a switchable GPU? | 13:50 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: yeah well typically there are reasons even for choosing between similar products | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | UbOne: there is a PPA but its not supported here | 13:50 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: what's a switchable gpu? I have crossfirex with proprietary drtivers | 13:50 |
| Yoshi2889 | UbOne: http://askubuntu.com/questions/439641/how-do-i-install-gnome-3-12-on-saucy13-10 < second result on Google | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: maybe its the proprietary drive loading slowly causing the hang.... | 13:50 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: could be, but the open source driver made my gpu howl like mad and show high temps | 13:51 |
| Yoshi2889 | slikts: Switchable means that the system is able to jump from one GPU to the other, commonly found in laptops | 13:51 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: my pc sounded like a vacuum after installing ubuntu until I changed the drivers | 13:52 |
| slikts | it's not like they're even just choosing between products, but they're developing mir | 13:55 |
| raub | How can I find out the configuration for the login manager, specifically what it is using to lookup network users? | 13:55 |
| slikts | making the question about motivation even more pertinent | 13:55 |
| slikts | I could give a very detailed why I choose the browser that I do over alternatives for everyday use | 13:56 |
| Yoshi2889 | Huh, Software & Updates still shows my GT 750M though it runs on Haswell graphics according to the Details pane | 13:56 |

| zubuntu | i wanna try classic gnome look in 14.04 beta2 | 14:08 |
| zubuntu | how can i install it _ | 14:08 |
| zubuntu | ? | 14:08 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: Do you mean GNOME 2 or 3? | 14:08 |
| zubuntu | yes Yoshi2889 | 14:09 |
| Dev1L | I'm running Linux Mint 16 and I have a proglem using LG 22" monitor | 14:09 |

| Dev1L | source on monitor is correct | 14:09 |

| Dev1L | ah, roger | 14:09 |
| Dev1L | thanks | 14:09 |
| zubuntu | i think it s 3 | 14:09 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: So 2 | 14:09 |
| zubuntu | i am confused | 14:09 |
| Yoshi2889 | Closest you can get is using MATE IIRC | 14:09 |
| zubuntu | what s the difference ? | 14:09 |
| zubuntu | i dont want mate | 14:09 |
| Yoshi2889 | GNOME 2 is not officially supported anymore | 14:10 |
| zubuntu | i want gnome fall back session | 14:10 |
| Yoshi2889 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MATE_1.6_on-Debian-Wheezy.png | 14:10 |
| Yoshi2889 | What's wrong with Mate, it achieves the same? | 14:10 |
| zubuntu | this unity shit making the screen narrower | 14:10 |
| zubuntu | i dont like to see it | 14:10 |
| Yoshi2889 | You might want to set your screen resolution correct then | 14:11 |
| zubuntu | i like ambiance theme | 14:11 |
| hmuller | I have been having problem with DNS resolution on 12.04 install for awhile, it is a standard install on laptop. Any clues? | 14:11 |
| zubuntu | Yoshi2889: really it s annoying to see the unity at left | 14:11 |
| snoooop_ | also then I inspect the USB disk in gpared I have two partitions, One fat32 and one 2mb unallocated. Is that normal ? | 14:11 |
| zubuntu | i was able to use gnome fallback with 12.04 so what s the new command with 14.04 ? | 14:12 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: Then install MATE, and set the theme to Ambiance | 14:12 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: 14.04 does not have a fallback mode | 14:12 |

| zubuntu | why not ? | 14:12 |
| zubuntu | yes dw1 | 14:12 |
| zubuntu | why does ubuntu make so sharp changes ?S | 14:13 |
| Yoshi2889 | gnome-desktop installs version 3.10 | 14:13 |
| Yoshi2889 | It's a bit heavy for when you only want the fallback mode | 14:13 |

| mistawright | is there an easy way to find a list of all svn users? | 14:14 |
| slikts | f***** me, I was happy for a while after coming back to ubuntu, but now my chrome keeps becoming unresponsive, it either loads pages endlessly or doesn't let me scroll the pages or do anything | 14:14 |
| dw1 | so im on gnome 2 then ? | 14:14 |
| zubuntu | dw1: how about on 14.04 ? | 14:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: If you only look at that page, the *first* screenshot shows theming. | 14:14 |
| dw1 | zubuntu: dont know yet im just learning with you :P | 14:14 |
| slikts | it's unusable | 14:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | dw1: You're installing a lot of stuff you don't need then. | 14:14 |
| slikts | `killall chrome` doesn't fix it | 14:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | That reminds me, install chrome | 14:15 |
| zubuntu | i want to report about gnome to ubuntu developer team | 14:15 |
| slikts | firefox is freezing as well | 14:15 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: Don't bother, they removed it on purpose | 14:15 |
| zubuntu | why do they force us to use unity ?? | 14:15 |
| Yoshi2889 | They don't | 14:15 |
| zubuntu | i dont wanna use unity | 14:16 |
| Yoshi2889 | You're free to use any DE available | 14:16 |
| zubuntu | i mean that silly dash bar | 14:16 |
| hmuller | Slikts, are you losing internet connection? | 14:16 |
| slikts | hmuller: no | 14:16 |
| dw1 | so apparently im on gnome 3 then.. so just gnome-desktop in 14.04 then will be the same? | 14:16 |
| zubuntu | give me the smooth desktop with top and bottom bars like old days | 14:16 |
| Yoshi2889 | dw1: gnome-desktop will pull in 13.10 | 14:16 |
| Yoshi2889 | derp | 14:16 |
| Yoshi2889 | 3.12 | 14:16 |
| slikts | hmuller: that wouldn't explain why the browser itself is becoming unresponsive, and why it loads without timing out | 14:16 |
| Yoshi2889 | derp x2 | 14:16 |
| Yoshi2889 | 3.10 :D | 14:16 |
| dw1 | sounds fine | 14:16 |

| hmuller | Different issue than me then, I keep losing ability to resolve addresses | 14:17 |
| Yoshi2889 | zubuntu: You can install gnome-shell, but you're pulling in a lot of stuff you don't need | 14:17 |
| slikts | so I've spent a day and a half setting up this os only to find out that it's unusable | 14:17 |
| dw1 | Yoshi2889: why do you prefer gnome 2 over 3 | 14:18 |
| Yoshi2889 | Ah damn, Chrome doesn't install on 14.04 | 14:18 |
| Yoshi2889 | dw1: I don't :P | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | zubuntu: install xfce, lxde or kde and you will probably have a smoother OS :) | 14:18 |
| Yoshi2889 | I prefer 3 over 2 | 14:18 |

| zubuntu | i just want that | 14:18 |
| slikts | hmuller: 13.10 | 14:18 |
| Yoshi2889 | I prefer Pantheon from elementaryOS, but they're using old backbones | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | zubuntu: or install gnome-panel and log i to the new session, Cinammon is also availabel in the official repos | 14:19 |
| Yoshi2889 | Kernel 3.2 IIRC | 14:19 |
| dw1 | zubuntu: just install gnome-desktop for gnome 3 then imo :p | 14:19 |
| hmuller | Yeah, I didn't like that version, too buggy | 14:19 |
| zubuntu | also i love ambiance theme | 14:19 |
| zubuntu | dw1: give me the command | 14:19 |
| dw1 | zubuntu: i dont know what im doing tho i dont run 14.04 | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | zubuntu: nobody is forcing you to use Unity... | 14:19 |
| zubuntu | is that too hard to remove dash and put top and bottom bar ??? | 14:19 |
| UbOne | zubuntu: how about - auto hide left-bar from appearance-behavior and install cairo-dock | 14:19 |
| zubuntu | ActionParsnip: they do actually | 14:20 |

| ActionParsnip | zubuntu: no they don't I dont even have compiz on my system, no Unity, no gnome | 14:20 |

| hmuller | That would be my recommendation | 14:20 |
| slikts | zubuntu: your mom wants dock | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zubuntu: install gnome-panel, log off, log in to the new session | 14:20 |

| Yoshi2889 | slikts: I grabbed Beta 2 and updated it | 14:22 |

| sinack | How would I go about doing a select in a sequential order that would restart itself over again. For example, I have a table called pictures. Pictures have a foreign key to user_id. I want to select all pictures but the order should be user1's picture#1, user2's picture#1, user3's picture#1, user1's picture#2, user2's picture #2, user3's picture#2....and so on. | 18:10 |
| Yoshi2889 | sinack: SQL? | 18:10 |
| sinack | yeah, SQL | 18:10 |
| sinack | I'm trying to avoid using code to do this, if that's possible. | 18:10 |
| Yoshi2889 | SELECT FROM pictures ORDER BY user_id ASC | 18:11 |
| Yoshi2889 | i guess | 18:11 |
| sinack | no | 18:11 |
| Yoshi2889 | isn't quite clear how the table looks tbh | 18:11 |
| sinack | table is id, user_id, title | 18:12 |
| === flavio is now known as Guest25362 | ||
| Yoshi2889 | if "picture" is different in every name, then you can't get around explode()'ing it by # | 18:12 |
| sinack | it seems like a very complicated sql query | 18:13 |
| Yoshi2889 | actually | 18:13 |
| sinack | i can use the scripting language to calculate it, the problem is, when there's 100k+ pictures | 18:13 |
| sinack | it gets to be slow | 18:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | SELECT FROM pictures ORDER BY user_id ASC, RIGHT(title, 3) ASC | 18:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | err | 18:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | that 3 should be 1 | 18:14 |
| Yoshi2889 | derp | 18:14 |
| sinack | that's not what i'm trying to achieve | 18:15 |
| Yoshi2889 | hmm no | 18:15 |
| sinack | i don't want all of the user_id's together | 18:15 |
| Yoshi2889 | yeah... | 18:15 |
| Beldar | !who|sinack | 18:15 |
| ubottu | sinack: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:15 |
| sinack | i want user_id 1, user_id2, user_id3, user_id1, user_id2 | 18:15 |
| Yoshi2889 | i think you'd need a script for that | 18:16 |
| sinack | Beldar, gotcha, thanks | 18:16 |
| Beldar | sinack, Thanks, makes things easier. ;) | 18:16 |
| sinack | Yoshi2889, i feel like it can be done in sql, but it's beyond my understanding | 18:16 |
| ghutzriop | ok, another try here. I successfully installed ubuntu 13.10 on an usb-stick. it also boots correctly on my laptop, but not on my desktop. I'm getting an "ata7: hard resetting link" error. | 18:17 |

| lotuspsychje | ghutzriop: you sure your bios is set right to boot the usb? | 18:19 |

| ghutzriop | lotuspsychje: I'm not sure what I could configure differently. I was able to chose the recovery mode from grub(which is installed on the usb). and it's the only connected usb-stick | 18:21 |
| lotuspsychje | ghutzriop: feel free to ask in ##hardware channel aswell for your bios/mobo brand | 18:21 |
| lotuspsychje | ghutzriop: so you can boot the usb and enter grub | 18:22 |

| sinack | TJ-, that's not quite right. It's still repeating. You can't really use title to order, because it won't guarantee uniqueness | 18:31 |
| TJ- | HappyNewYear13: "Ubuntu One" is a Canonical service, not a community managed service, so you may be better using the dedicated Ubuntu One help facility | 18:31 |

| cfhowlett | HappyNewYear13, one.ubuntu.com | 18:32 |

| HappyNewYear13 | cfhowlett, thank you friend | 18:33 |
| TJ- | sinack: If the table's id field is unique, then you can use that: "select * from pictures order by id, user_id asc;" | 18:33 |
| sinack | TJ-, just (1, user1), (2, user1), (3, user2), (4, user1) | 18:33 |

| naodwalk | Hello all, I have a class project and need to schedule a task using the AT command to display a message in the terminal. Does anyone know how I'd go about doing this? | 18:41 |
| beandog | man at | 18:42 |
| naodwalk | Thanks. but it wont display the echo command | 18:42 |
| beandog | naodwalk: what do you mean? | 18:43 |
| naodwalk | So when I schedule the task to run it wont display in the atq list and the job never runs | 18:43 |
| beandog | oh | 18:45 |
| beandog | is the at daemon running? | 18:45 |
| naodwalk | yes it is | 18:45 |
| beandog | hmm | 18:46 |
| beandog | dunno | 18:46 |

| naodwalk | is the syntax incorrect? at 2:05PM [echo "Time to logoff."> ~/message [cat ~/message | 18:47 |
| naodwalk | where [ = new line | 18:47 |
| tmmunq | looks fine to me | 18:47 |
| TJ- | sinack: There's no data in the table representing the order of pictures by user_id, which you need in order to do a "group by" | 18:48 |

| kram1 | hi | 19:05 |
| kram1 | Can anyone suggest a GUI memory benchmarking tool? | 19:06 |
| bekks | whats thats? | 19:06 |
| bekks | kram1: all memory benchmarks depend on the exact use case. you can have fast RAM, which behaves with the speed of pen and paper just because your benchmark isnt actually doing what the application (which you are benchmarking for) would do. | 19:07 |
| kram1 | bekks: Just looking for something to test basic read/write. | 19:08 |
| kram1 | And maybe report clock speeds. | 19:08 |
| bekks | kram1: just run memtest86++ then, from the grub menu. | 19:08 |
| kram1 | Looking for something that runs on Linux. | 19:08 |
| kram1 | memtest86 isn't really a benchmarker, I'm not sure what's the significance of the basic info it shows | 19:08 |
| bekks | It does exactly what you want: test basic read/write and report clock speeds. | 19:09 |
| kram1 | Memtest86's main job is to check for errors. | 19:09 |
| bekks | It does exactly what you want: test basic read/write and report clock speeds. | 19:10 |
| bekks | That where your requirements. You are refusing it just because it isnt named "shiny benchmark tool". | 19:10 |
| kram1 | It only shows one figure, I assume for read, and it's inconsistent with a "real" benchmarker I tried. | 19:10 |
| bekks | It does read/write tests, per your choice. | 19:11 |
| kram1 | The reason I'm curious, too, is that it started showing less than half the MB/sec it showed a few days ago, and I'm trying to figure out why. | 19:11 |
| bekks | And whatever "inconsistent" in terms of "benchmarking" even means. | 19:11 |
| kram1 | Regarding clocks, a few Windows utilities show me a figure that's lower than what I expect. I don't know if it's chipset incompatibility, or the actual speed. | 19:12 |
| bekks | It is the actual speed. | 19:12 |
| kram1 | The BIOS at least shows the expected clocks. But I want to see what some higher level utility reports. | 19:12 |
| kram1 | Where? The BIOS? | 19:13 |
| bekks | "higher lever utility reports". Look at the RAM itself, look at the sticker. thats the nominal clock speed. | 19:13 |
| kram1 | Anyway, nothing you can suggest for benchmarking or lowlevel sysinfo under Linux? | 19:13 |
| bekks | Everything else is determined by the exact hardware you are using. | 19:14 |
| JDodger | I really need some help ;_; | 19:14 |
| kram1 | I'm seeing a discrepancy. I want to find out if the WIndows utilities are wrong or not. | 19:14 |

| bekks | kram1: And you got a reliable answer. Look at memtest, it does exactly what your requirements are. | 19:15 |
| kram1 | Any other suggestions? | 19:15 |
| JDodger | okay well I'll just ask it out here then | 19:15 |
| cyanboy | cfhowlett: I'm all the bloat that comes with it like integrated amazon search | 19:16 |
| cfhowlett | !nounity|cyanboy, | 19:16 |
| ubottu | cyanboy,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:16 |
| JDodger | Basically, I'm trying to set up dual boot, I currently am running windows 8, I partitioned 100GB of my C drive for ubuntu to go on, I had to disable windows 8 on my bios in order to get to ubuntu on boot. I go onto ubuntu and installed it, it all worked, but when i rebooted it to use it normally, it wouldn't boot to it... | 19:17 |
| JDodger | I want to be able to select whether I use Ubuntu or Windows on boot | 19:17 |
| cfhowlett | cyanboy, amazon search lenses are only in unity desktop environment. alternatives: gnome, lxde, xfce | 19:17 |
| cfhowlett | !notunity | 19:17 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 19:17 |
| cyanboy | what's the apt-get remove to remove unity and all the "evil components" | 19:18 |
| ice9 | cyanboy: why do you want to remove unity? | 19:18 |
| bekks | !eol > bekks | 19:19 |
| cfhowlett | cyanboy, as unity is pretty much integrated, you're better served just using an alternate desktop environment or disto: lubuntu/xubuntu | 19:19 |

| cfhowlett | needless drama | 19:21 |

| luc4 | Hello! Anyone who has installed Ubuntu on something like Toshiba Satellite L50-A-14K? | 19:40 |
| bekks | luc4: What are the actual issues you having to do so? :) | 19:41 |
| DrDigita_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1129187 i wonder if that would work and how could i find out if my system has a OpenGL based card? | 19:42 |
| luc4 | bekks: I don’t have it. I’ve been told there are issues with Linux with those new PC including TPM. Just wanted to know if someone had experience on those. | 19:42 |
| DrDigita_ | and I'm talking about a web based java application (serving it) | 19:42 |
| bekks | luc4: as long as you can disable TPM, there are no possible issues ;) | 19:45 |
| luc4 | bekks: indeed. But is it always possible to disable it? | 19:46 |
| bekks | luc4: from what I know, there are some machines out there where it isnt possible. | 19:46 |
| luc4 | bekks: I really know nothing about this TPM, I’m just trying to understand by reading around. But this point is unclear to me... | 19:46 |
| luc4 | bekks: and in that case I may be unable to install ubuntu? | 19:46 |
| bekks | luc4: in that case it still maybe possible to install something. | 19:48 |
| luc4 | bekks: I’ve been asked to confirm that that machine is ok by my company. If I can’t install Linux… I can even throw it away as I can only work with Linux :-) | 19:48 |
| luc4 | bekks: so Linux don’t actually support this tpm? | 19:48 |
| bekks | luc4: Most likely, it does. Read this e.g.: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TPM | 19:50 |
| bekks | luc4: Or this: http://www.grounation.org/?post/2008/07/04/8-how-to-use-a-tpm-with-linux | 19:50 |
| slikts | why could it be that when I put /tmp on tmpfs everything started to occasionally freeze? | 19:50 |
| k1l | slikts: your ram got a hardware problem? | 19:51 |
| slikts | k1l: definitely not | 19:51 |
| bekks | slikts: because your box has to swap and starts to get really slow. | 19:51 |
| slikts | bekks: I have 16 GB of ram | 19:51 |
| bekks | slikts: which does not mean much. | 19:51 |

| slikts | bekks: most of it is empty | 19:52 |
| bekks | luc4: :D | 19:52 |
| slikts | bekks: even if it was swapping, the disk is a fast ssd so it shouldn't be noticable | 19:52 |
| bekks | slikts: then it isnt the /tmp in tmpfs which causes your system to get really slow. | 19:52 |
| luc4 | bekks: so some may work and some may not. Also on some TPM can be disabled, on some it can’t. I will only know when I get it… right? | 19:52 |
| bekks | slikts: Which is nonsense. :) An SSD is still noticably slower than RAM. | 19:53 |
| Artemis3 | never ever put swap on ssd | 19:53 |
| slikts | bekks: I didn't say it is slow, things just get glitchy and start freezing | 19:53 |
| cfhowlett | Artemis3 explain that last? | 19:53 |
| slikts | bekks: for example, Chrome would freeze up and say "Waiting for Cache..." | 19:53 |
| k1l | slikts: i really would make a ram test | 19:53 |
| bekks | slikts: Then it has nothing to do with /tmp on tmpfs most likely. | 19:53 |
| slikts | k1l: I've done that, it's fine | 19:53 |
| bekks | slikts: how long did that RAM test run? | 19:54 |
| slikts | bekks: it happens only when I put /tmp on tmpfs | 19:54 |
| slikts | Artemis3: the swap never gets used | 19:54 |
| Artemis3 | then remove it | 19:54 |
| bekks | Artemis3: then he will be unable to use suspend to disk. | 19:55 |
| slikts | bekks: I don't use that ever | 19:55 |
| Artemis3 | there you go | 19:55 |
| slikts | it's not a laptop, I just use S3 standby | 19:55 |
| bekks | slikts: then remove swap :) | 19:55 |
| slikts | bekks: I don't want to in case I run out of ram | 19:55 |
| Artemis3 | you don't want the next leaking program to kill your ssd prematurely, and it happens from time to time | 19:55 |
| slikts | I'll move it to a hdd instead | 19:56 |
| Artemis3 | thats better | 19:56 |
| Artemis3 | swap kills ssd, as simple as that. | 19:56 |
| slikts | it'd still be nice to know how to get /tmp to use tmpfs without problems | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | slikts: Artemis3: bekks: For any issue where having swap causes slowdowns (which is much more rare than people think, usually having swap if anything increases speed), setting swappiness to 0 will usually get you the same result, except you'll still get better handling of OOM conditions. | 19:57 |
| slikts | I just used noexec,nosuid options for tmpfs | 19:57 |
| Artemis3 | slikts, its set up like that by default | 19:57 |
| slikts | Artemis3: where can I see how it's set up? I don't see in /etc/fstab | 19:57 |
| slikts | I mean I don't see /tab | 19:58 |
| Jordan_U | slikts: Is the tmpfs particularly full when you get these freezes? | 19:58 |
| slikts | and df doesn't show /tmp as tmpfs either | 19:58 |
| slikts | Jordan_U: not at all | 19:58 |
| k1l | slikts: last time now: did you run a memtest so far to be sure its not the ram? | 19:58 |
| Artemis3 | well normally anyway, it should have fstab entries for tmpfs | 19:58 |
| slikts | k1l: yes | 19:58 |
| slikts | Artemis3: it's a clean 13.10 install and I'm sure /tmp wasn't on tmpfs | 19:59 |
| Jordan_U | slikts: How are you mounting /tmp/ as tmpfs? | 19:59 |
| slikts | Jordan_U: sec | 19:59 |
| Artemis3 | /etc/fstab: line such as "tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime,nosuid 0 0" | 19:59 |
| slikts | Jordan_U: http://hastebin.com/pabudabati.hs | 20:01 |
| slikts | tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | 20:01 |
| === chiburbs is now known as KD9AUS | ||
| slikts | maybe I'll try without noexec | 20:01 |
| failshell | hello. is there an open source tool to manage patches on a farm of ubuntu servers? similar to Spacewalk | 20:01 |
| yorwos | hi guyz 1 question plz , any1 installed photoshop cs6 through wine ??? my problem is my healing brush+spot healing sometimes they work properly sometimes it does the spot but its not following the arrow , if i undo and redo 2-3 times it works properly any ideas ? | 20:02 |
| k1l | slikts: noatime instead of noexec | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | k1l: Why? noexec seems entirely appropriate for /tmp/, and atime modification seems least likely to cause slowdowns for tmpfs (relative to on-disk filesystems). | 20:03 |
| k1l | yorwos: best is to ask the wine specialists | 20:04 |
| k1l | !wine | yorwos | 20:04 |
| ubottu | yorwos: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 20:04 |
| slikts | has anyone used photoshop cs6 in a vm? is it feasible? | 20:04 |
| dw1 | yorwos: you could always try another wine version, playonlinux makes it pretty easy | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | slikts: Are you ever mounting /tmp/ after boot, or are you only modifying the fstab and allowing it to be mounted during boot? | 20:04 |
| slikts | Jordan_U: modifying fstab | 20:05 |
| k1l | Jordan_U: some scrupts still want to execute stuff in tmp | 20:05 |
| Artemis3 | slikts, i didn't noticed upstream reverted the /tmp in tmpfs by default, so nvm | 20:05 |

| root___ | Hello | 20:18 |
| OerHeks | !rootirc | 20:19 |
| ubottu | It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 20:19 |
| fballs | Jordan_U, will do...i'm dong some reading now | 20:19 |
| root___ | I've just booted the lubuntu liveCD (er, livekey) and can't figure out how to join a wireless network. There's an app called "network manager" which asks for a lot of information I don't have. | 20:19 |
| root___ | Is there no way of getting a list of available networks and simply supplying the password, as usual? | 20:20 |
| === root___ is now known as Hfuy_ | ||
| Jordan_U | root___: Why are you logged in as root? | 20:20 |
| * Hfuy_ isn't root anymore, mkay | 20:20 | |
| k1l | root___: you should not be root if this was a lubuntu live cd | 20:20 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Why are you logged in as root? | 20:20 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: ubuntu doesnt have an enable root account. so some things dont work with root on ubuntu. | 20:20 |
| Hfuy_ | Panic not, people. I simply ran "sudo xterm" because I tire of typing "sudo" constantly. | 20:21 |
| jhutchins_wk | I suspect that if he is on a Ubuntu Live CD, he isn't actually running IRC as root. | 20:21 |
| Hfuy_ | Anyway, this wifi issue. | 20:21 |
| js_doode | hello. running ubuntu 13.10 and needing to source a .bash file in .bash_profile, but it is not working for me. | 20:21 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Or, then again... | 20:22 |
| Hfuy_ | I had ubuntu on this netbook. It was a bit heavyweight. | 20:22 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: What kind of information is it asking that you don't have? | 20:22 |
| js_doode | created .bash_profile, then opened it and typed: source /path/to/file.bash | 20:22 |
| k1l | jhutchins_wk: well, he clearly is. and we dont know what else is running as root and making now problems | 20:22 |
| Hfuy_ | So I thought I'd try lubuntu. But if I need to come up with, what is it, 12 bits of information about every wifi network... no. | 20:22 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Which version of the live CD BTW? | 20:22 |
| Hfuy_ | Not sure. Downloaded it a few minutes ago. | 20:22 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: its the same networkmanager like on ubuntu | 20:23 |
| Hfuy_ | On the ubuntu I have on this machine (which is quite old, 12.10 I think) I just get a list of available networks and it asks for a password if it needs one | 20:23 |
| jhutchins_wk | k1l: Yeah, I see that. | 20:23 |
| Hfuy_ | This arrangement with manually typing in SSIDs and MAC addresses... this isn't actually the normal UI, is it?! | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Don't run your IRC client, or any other application that was not designed to to be run as root, as root. Especially if said application connects to the internet. | 20:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: No, that's not standard. | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Please quit and re-join from a client that is not running as root. | 20:25 |
| Hfuy_ | OK, let's take this step by step | 20:26 |
| Hfuy_ | Is there some sort of settings UI I can get which will list the available networks? | 20:26 |
| [Gentoo] | Jordan_U: he might be on a livecd | 20:26 |
| pbi | Hi, I just upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 and xrandr rotate does not work anymore (amd firepro 2460) (black screen, or screen not rotated but mouse pointer is). Has anybody seen a report on this or have a fix ? | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | [Gentoo]: They are. They still shouldn't run their IRC client as root. | 20:26 |
| Hfuy_ | I'm on a livecd. | 20:26 |
| Hfuy_ | Well, a live flash key. | 20:27 |
| [Gentoo] | Jordan_U: a lot of livecds are root by default | 20:27 |
| Jordan_U | [Gentoo]: None of them are Ubuntu liveCDs, and thus questions relating to their use would be offtopic here anyway. | 20:27 |
| Hfuy_ | Unfortunately, #lubuntu is very quiet. | 20:27 |
| jhutchins_wk | Nonetheless, that might explain it. | 20:28 |
| Hfuy_ | I wonder if it simply hasn't seen the wifi hardware, which is why it isn't offering a UI. | 20:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: lubuntu is ubuntu with an xfce desktop. Not significantly different. You may have a different wifi manager though, possibly wicd which I'm not familiar with. | 20:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | er, s/xfce/lxde. | 20:28 |
| k1l | lubuntu got networkmanager as default | 20:29 |
| k1l | that is the same like ubuntu got. | 20:29 |
| Hfuy_ | If I type "ifconfig", I get eth0 and o | 20:29 |
| Hfuy_ | er lo | 20:29 |
| jhutchins_wk | I know networkmanager's inteface has been pretty much in flux recently. | 20:29 |
| Hfuy_ | I fear it simply hasn't seen the wifi hardware. | 20:29 |
| jhutchins_wk | It'll work as you would expect one release, then the next is all counterintuitive. | 20:29 |
| Hfuy_ | Are you seriously saying that people are promoting this as a lightweight OS for netbooks, and it doesn't have a stable wifi UI? | 20:30 |
| k1l | jhutchins_wk: 14.04 lubuntu-dekstop still got the networkmanager-gnome as depencie | 20:30 |
| Hfuy_ | That's absurd. | 20:30 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: no | 20:31 |
| Hfuy_ | Then what do I press? | 20:31 |
| k1l | make sure the wificard is enabled and detected | 20:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Yes, I agree it's absurd. | 20:31 |
| Hfuy_ | how/ | 20:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: It probably wouldn't be prompting you for info if there wasn't a card. | 20:32 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: sry, a few minutes ago you were the "i know all so i run root when i want" guy. :/ | 20:32 |
| js_doode | googled it and .bash_profile is .profile in ubuntu 13.10. :) | 20:32 |
| wolfy1339 | i just connected a Bluetooth mouse and i cannot use it, do i have to restart to make it work? | 20:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: You can use the command line wifi tools to try and diagnose it, but I don't have that particular UI available to try and guess what you're doing and seeing. | 20:32 |
| Hfuy_ | It didn't prompt me, I had to hit a systray icon. | 20:32 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: see lspci, lsusb, dmesg, | 20:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | wolfy1339: Elaborate on "connected". Plugged in or linked? | 20:33 |
| Hfuy_ | I'm mainly a windows guy so the idea that people are still shipping operating systems without wifi support is just... laughable to me. | 20:33 |
| k1l | rfkill, too | 20:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Also not true. | 20:33 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: no, it is not | 20:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: From what I've seen, the WIndows wireless interfaces are horrible and buggy. | 20:34 |
| Hfuy_ | the XP w | 20:34 |
| Hfuy_ | The XP one was. | 20:34 |

| Hfuy_ | What? | 20:35 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: please decide if you are the computer-guru who runs everything as root, or if you really want help. just ranting in here doesnt help anyone | 20:35 |
| backbox | yoo guys, quick questiuon. what is the name of the file that csan manage network info? ie it allowed you to set static/dhcp settings without a program. | 20:35 |
| Hfuy_ | I don't care either way, I just want it to work. | 20:35 |
| Artemis3 | Hfuy_, support questions only, you can'r rant here | 20:35 |
| k1l | backbox: you mean the network manager? | 20:35 |
| Hfuy_ | In any case, one reason I built this flash key was to figure out whether it worked well enough to use, the answer appears to be no, unless anyone has any further suggestions. | 20:36 |
| Jordan_U | backbox: /etc/network/interfaces | 20:36 |
| sanity | I need help seting up openvpen certs, not sure if this is the right forum. | 20:36 |
| k1l | backbox: or the /etc/network/interfaces file/config? | 20:36 |
| backbox | well, no. the file specific to setting the settings. not the network manager | 20:36 |
| vmn | openssl | 20:36 |
| vmn | Can set it up for you | 20:36 |
| wolfy1339 | i just connected (paired, linked) a Bluetooth mouse and i cannot use it, do i have to restart my computer or log out to make it work? | 20:36 |
| backbox | Jordan_U, THATS IT | 20:36 |
| backbox | THASAABNNKKSS | 20:36 |
| Artemis3 | Hfuy_, i suggest, before purchasing anything, check and double check online if the device works with the OS you intend to use. | 20:36 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: sorry, but i gave you several options to test what is going wrong. you keep making a drama out of it. so please leave | 20:37 |
| Hfuy_ | Artemis3: Well, I've had the netbook for a while. I was looking for something lighter. | 20:37 |
| [Gentoo] | i think linux isnt for people who have no patience | 20:37 |
| backbox | k1l, Jordan_U , thanks guys. i was not recalling. Much thanks | 20:37 |
| Jordan_U | backbox: You're welcome. | 20:38 |
| k1l | backbox: no problem :) | 20:38 |
| Artemis3 | Hfuy_, not all hardware works, you have to check beforehand, it might work with effort, or not at all. The hardware that works, works perfectly without doing anything. | 20:38 |
| Hfuy_ | I'm just a bit confused that ubuntu of two and a half years ago worked, whereas this much more up-to-date lubuntu doesn't. | 20:39 |
| Artemis3 | Hfuy_, it its a lubuntu issue perhaps you should join #lubuntu | 20:39 |
| Artemis3 | if | 20:39 |
| Hfuy_ | I have. It's dead, | 20:39 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: What version of Ubuntu is this LiveUSB? | 20:39 |
| backbox | k1l, Jordan_U , one other question. what's the group name for the network. I tried adding my user to "network " but network doesn't exist. is the group called something else? | 20:40 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: Artemis3 last time now: do you have an interesst in technically solving that issue or are you just here to rant about that? | 20:40 |
| Hfuy_ | Jordan_U: I'm not sure what information you need, how do I find that out? | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: lsb_release -d | 20:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | Artemis3: lubuntu is ubuntu with lxde, uses the gnome nm applet, and is supported here. I don't know why he's not getting the familiar interface, he hasn't been very descriptive, and he hasn't told us of any diagnostics he's tried. | 20:41 |
| Hfuy_ | "Description: Ubuntu 13.10" | 20:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: WHat kind of menu do you get if you left-click the wifi icon? | 20:42 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: What choices? Ditto for right-click? | 20:42 |
| Hfuy_ | I don't see a wifi icon. | 20:42 |
| k1l | i told where he can get informations about the wifi card and if its detected (or even enabled) | 20:42 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Then what did you click when you said it was asking for too many items of information? | 20:43 |
| Hfuy_ | I have an icon by the clock at the bottom right which looks like one arrow pointing up, and one arrow pointing down, which I assume is a network related thing. | 20:43 |
| Hfuy_ | If I click it, one of the options is "edit" | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Please pastebin the output of "lspci -vnn". | 20:44 |
| Hfuy_ | This brings up a dialog in which one of the options is "add", which appears to allow me to manually add a wifi network. But I need a ridiculous amount of detailed technical information to fill in all the boxes, and if that's the only UI, then it isn't usable. | 20:44 |
| Hfuy_ | Wait one. That's a lot of text. | 20:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Disparaging the information is not helpful in finding your solution. You have chosen to add a network manually instead of from scanned data, that's what the system needs to know, one way or another. It's what any OS needs to know. | 20:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: Have you tried right-click instead of left-click? Also, what Jordan_U asked. | 20:46 |
| Hfuy_ | jhutchins_wk: I've never been required to add that sort of information before. I'm not disparaging anything, please just take it as a limitation of my willingness to put up with inconvenience in order to use a lighter OS. | 20:46 |
| Hfuy_ | Right click just gets me settings on the applet area. | 20:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hfuy_: That's not what's going on. You're doin' it wrong! That is the option to add an undetected (silent) network. | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: When things are working properly the only information you will need to manually add is the password. | 20:47 |
| Hfuy_ | Jordan_U: Right, OK. That's what I've been trying to establish. | 20:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | Jordan_U: I'm gonna leave this to you, I don't have a reference copy atm. | 20:47 |
| wolfy1339 | I'm using a surface pro with a type cover and i bought a bluetooth mouse and i paired it, and now how do i use it? | 20:48 |
| Hfuy_ | Apparently I can't paste a URL into irssi, so here it is manually: http://pastebin.com/AKeLjb1x | 20:48 |
| Hfuy_ | Is that what we wanted> | 20:49 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: ctrl+shift+v (depending on what terminal emulator you're using). | 20:49 |
| Hfuy_ | No, that just gives me an inverse-video uppercase V. | 20:49 |
| Hfuy_ | Anyway, is any of this helping? | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: You have a broadcom card, which needs firmware to function. | 20:51 |
| Hfuy_ | Er, okay? | 20:51 |
| Hfuy_ | It worked fine under ubuntu, if that helps? | 20:52 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: In the older Ubuntu you presumably installed the firmware (or the proprietary driver). | 20:52 |
| Hfuy_ | Not as far as I recall, but it was some time ago. | 20:53 |
| Hfuy_ | So, er. | 20:53 |
| Hfuy_ | What's the situation. | 20:53 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Software Center should have a graphical "Additional Drivers" tool which will allow you to install the firmware you need, though I don't have an Ubuntu machine in frot of me to walk you through the interface. | 20:53 |
| Sn0wCr45h | in 14.04 it's not there anymore | 20:54 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: You'll need to be connected to the internet via ethernet, or you'll need to copy some files over via USB. | 20:54 |
| Sn0wCr45h | it's the right most tab of software updates i believe | 20:54 |
| k1l | Hfuy_: see "rfkill list" if it says yes | 20:54 |
| Hfuy_ | I have "software updater" | 20:54 |
| Sn0wCr45h | additional drivers is the right most tab | 20:55 |
| Hfuy_ | Hmm, no, that just seems to be literally updates for existing stuff. | 20:55 |
| Sn0wCr45h | sorry software * updates | 20:55 |
| Sn0wCr45h | software & updates | 20:55 |
| Sn0wCr45h | in system settings | 20:55 |
| Hfuy_ | I have a list under "get software", a list of installed software and an "apps basket" | 20:56 |
| nname | how do you make the screen brighter and dim | 20:56 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Let's just do this via the terminal. | 20:56 |
| Hfuy_ | Oh hang on | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 20:57 |
| Hfuy_ | I found an "additional drivers" button | 20:57 |
| Hfuy_ | Apparently it's a single package | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 20:58 |
| Beldar | nname, There is a brightness app, some computers have key set as well. | 20:58 |
| Hfuy_ | OK, that's happening | 20:58 |
| nname | whats the brightness app called, my brightness keys arent working. im on a chromebook | 20:59 |
| Beldar | Sn0wCr45h, #ubuntu+1 is the 14.04 channel. | 20:59 |
| Hfuy_ | Seems to be done. | 20:59 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: Did it give you any prompts? | 20:59 |
| Hfuy_ | nope | 20:59 |
| Hfuy_ | It's been "extracting b43/lcn2bsinitvals25.fw" most recently | 20:59 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: lsmod | grep b43 | 21:00 |
| Sn0wCr45h | cheers Beldar | 21:00 |
| Hfuy_ | Some stuff returned | 21:00 |
| Hfuy_ | none of it really words | 21:00 |
| Hfuy_ | um | 21:00 |
| Beldar | Sn0wCr45h, Heh, back at yah. ;) | 21:00 |
| Jordan_U | Hfuy_: None of what really works? | 21:00 |

| Hfuy_ | I'm getting the ISO right now, so it'll be a few minutes | 21:10 |

| === lol is now known as Guest56032 | ||
| shawnbon206 | Jordan_U youre right i commented it out and it had no effect. 0 is the default if its not otherwise set | 22:46 |

| Wug | does anyone have any experience with GTK | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | shawnbon206: Just to confuse you more, even with "GRUB_TIMEOUT=10" you'd still never have the menu show unless shift was held, as the default for Ubuntu is to hide the menu (with zero timeout) in this way. In fact it's probably safer to use GRUB_TIMEOUT=10. | 22:52 |

| zubuntu | i guess if it doesnt work with mixxx i dont think it works with them either | 23:06 |
| Sn0wCr45h | and it's just software this end ... could just as easily be an mp3 rather than a dj'd input | 23:06 |
| zubuntu | it s mp3 lame issue i bet | 23:06 |
| Cygnus-X1 | huh. Fixed it, apparently. rm -rf .config/libreoffice then apt-get autoremove libreoffice, then apt-get install libreoffice-calc libreoffice-writer | 23:08 |
| zubuntu | Sn0wCr45h: i couldnt even install butt lol | 23:10 |
| Sn0wCr45h | i think it's only available for 12.04 | 23:10 |
| zubuntu | i am using 12.04 already | 23:11 |
| qin | Wug: only Devilspie comes to my head, yet never used it with gnome3/unity | 23:11 |
| Sn0wCr45h | ok .. shouldn't have any probs installing it .. what error you get? | 23:11 |
| Wug | qin: that's a standalone program, not a GTK function call or something similar. In any case, I suspect it listens for the exact event which is currently not working and will probably fail to detect minimized windows when running under unity | 23:12 |
| JamesMoriarty | Hi | 23:17 |
| kostkon | JamesMoriarty, hi | 23:17 |
| zubuntu | cant do it :S | 23:18 |

| Sn0wCr45h | pm'd you a link to a walk through | 23:20 |

| justin_zw | Anyone know how to stop xchat-gnome from joining this literally every time I open it? | 23:35 |
| Beldar | justin_zw, remove the auto join | 23:36 |
| justin_zw | Where's that setting located? | 23:36 |
| justin_zw | I'm still a bit Linux stupid. | 23:36 |
| Beldar | justin_zw, In the first gui right side is a edit button, it leads to several options including autojoin | 23:37 |
| Beldar | I use hexchat a fork so going by memory | 23:38 |
| D3RP | hey peoples | 23:42 |
| justin_zw | I think I found a version that is highly unsupported or documented | 23:43 |
| justin_zw | So I'm just gonna go ahead and uninstall this and get that hexfork client you mentioned. | 23:43 |
| D3RP | So ive been having some issues, if anyone can help http://paste.debian.net/hidden/fad1e965/ | 23:44 |
| D3RP | anyone? | 23:46 |
| === plague is now known as cr33p | ||
| D3RP | Ok, there 1526 people in this chatroom and not one other person is talking? | 23:47 |
| === comp is now known as computerxpds | ||
| jpds | D3RP: Never heard of that package. | 23:47 |
| Beldar | D3RP, This a tar install from firefox rather than the repos? | 23:48 |
| D3RP | well that doesnt matter, i just need a command to remov eone specific package | 23:48 |
| jpds | D3RP: sudo dpkg -P firefox-mozilla-build | 23:48 |
| D3RP | eg. no apt-get remove | 23:48 |
| Beldar | D3RP, Really, you will not answer questions, lol. | 23:48 |
| Beldar | what a dork | 23:49 |
| kostkon | D3RP, is it on ubuntu or debian? | 23:49 |
| jpds | Beldar: Dude, that was uncalled for. | 23:49 |
| D3RP | debain | 23:49 |
| kostkon | !debian | D3RP | 23:49 |
| ubottu | D3RP: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 23:49 |
| kostkon | eer | 23:49 |
| Beldar | jpds, thanks daddy, lol | 23:49 |
| kostkon | D3RP, we only support ubuntu here | 23:49 |
| awc737 | is it possible ubuntu will ever stop depending on debian? | 23:49 |
| D3RP | wel the guys in the debain sever wont help, so i figured next best thing | 23:49 |
| jpds | awc737: No. | 23:50 |
| justin_zw | Just wanted to say I just installed HexChat and can already tell this is much easier to use. | 23:50 |
| bazhang | D3RP, you're not in the channel | 23:50 |
| justin_zw | Thanks for mentioning it. Just wanted to say that. | 23:50 |
| D3RP | yeah, im in ubuntu | 23:50 |
| awc737 | so in a way does canonical support debian? or help maintain it | 23:50 |
| bazhang | D3RP, /join #debian | 23:50 |
| jpds | awc737: Nothing to do with Canonical. | 23:50 |
| Beldar | awc737, This is support not Q&A. | 23:51 |
| D3RP | I just said theyre not helping | 23:51 |
| D3RP | thats why im here | 23:51 |
| === rm___ is now known as Guest97577 | ||
| jpds | D3RP: Right, and we can only help you with Ubuntu problems. | 23:51 |
| D3RP | well i just need a command to remove a specific program | 23:51 |
| jpds | D3RP: Already gave it to you. | 23:51 |
| jpds | D3RP: 23:48:40 < jpds> D3RP: sudo dpkg -P firefox-mozilla-build | 23:51 |
| D3RP | it didnt work | 23:51 |
| jpds | D3RP: Define "didn't work". | 23:52 |
| teward | D3RP, if you're using Debian you'll need a Debian channel, or ##linux | 23:52 |
| teward | D3RP, the other thing is "didn't work" is ambiguous, we need more details about what exactly you're seeing it say/do | 23:52 |

| zubuntu | how to completely remove installed programs in ubuntu ? | 23:53 |
| === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson | ||
| Beldar | zubuntu, purge | 23:53 |
| jpds | zubuntu: apt-get remove --purge <program> | 23:53 |
| Xtremeasure | ^ | 23:53 |
| === paiti is now known as Stierlitz | ||
| zubuntu | i did purge | 23:53 |
| Beldar | zubuntu, IE sudo apt-get purge 'app' | 23:53 |
| pimpim | jpds,apt-get purge <program> is the same | 23:53 |
| jpds | pimpim: I know. | 23:53 |
| pimpim | ok | 23:53 |
| zubuntu | and then re-installed but still it has previous configuration | 23:53 |
| D3RP | THANK YOU jpds | 23:54 |
| Beldar | zubuntu, What is it? | 23:54 |
| D3RP | no idea | 23:54 |
| teward | D3RP, if you can see what it says it says to reinstall it first. | 23:54 |
| jpds | zubuntu: Then it's probably a default configuration. | 23:54 |
| zubuntu | mixxx | 23:54 |
| teward | D3RP, having said this, you're still on Debian, not Ubuntu, you really should be talking to #debian on OFTC or ##linux | 23:54 |
| kostkon | zubuntu, look for any hidden config folders in your home folder, maybe in ~/.config | 23:54 |
| zubuntu | where is the program files location of ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| === jack is now known as Guest29086 | ||
| zubuntu | usr/lib ? | 23:55 |
| kostkon | zubuntu, or look for ~/.mixxx if it exists ~/ means your home folder ie /home/yourusername | 23:55 |
| jpds | zubuntu: Oh, you'll have to find out where it keeps user configurations in your home folder. | 23:55 |
| Beldar | zubuntu, use ctrl-h to show hidden, and look in .config as suggested. | 23:55 |
| zubuntu | ok | 23:55 |
| jpds | zubuntu: apt-get only purges things in /etc/ | 23:55 |
| zubuntu | ~/.mixxx | 23:55 |
| zubuntu | found it | 23:56 |
| Sn0wCr45h | zubuntu : it will a hidden folder in home or a sub dir there | 23:56 |
| zubuntu | hm | 23:56 |
| zubuntu | i deleted inside ~/.mixxx | 23:56 |
| Guest29086 | before i installed ubuntu 13.10 both of my external monitor was full screen and my laptop monitor had a border on the sides but now the external monitor has a border on the left side and the laptop has a border on both sides. it is set at the only resolution where the settings will allow it | 23:56 |
| zubuntu | i hope it fix | 23:56 |
| Beldar | Guest29086, Have you updated and checked the additional drivers? | 23:57 |
| Guest29086 | i have updates not check for additional drivers how do i do that | 23:57 |
| Beldar | Guest29086, upgrade first then look in software sources, last tab | 23:58 |
| Guest29086 | Beldar, do i need to reboot | 23:58 |
