[00:00] Have a great day. I'm going to sleep. I haven't slept for ages... [00:00] Ciao === chalcedony is now known as chalcedony` [00:03] Hello, I have a question. Can I install Ubuntu Linux on a C720 Chromebook with only 16GB of space? Because all of the guides I read talk about the 32GB version... [00:04] Guest000000: i've seen guides that install some version of ubuntu on 16GB ones, but they of course tend to be very limited. if you have a memory card slot on your model, perhaps one of the guides refers to whether you can install to a card in there instead? [00:04] Guest000000: the main issue being whether the developer mode BIOS can boot from such cards, or not [00:05] Can you point me to one of those guides? [00:05] Guest000000: i'd only be googling myself, so not much benefit to me doing it [00:06] I guess I'll have to replace the SSD in my chromebook if I want a full version of Ubuntu. [00:07] I don't want a limited version. [00:07] Guest000000: I run http://lubuntu.net on a netbook with 16GB. You might have enough power for the big-boy Ubuntu tho [00:07] Guest000000: well you're limited by space is all, you can fit in a small install, you just won't be able to store much on it [00:08] Thanks. [00:08] you can probably use flash drives or the aforementioned memory cards to reduce that issue [00:09] Hello [00:09] Anyone on 14.04 apply the latest update? I've lost sound and network manager. [00:09] Can anyone help me remove a GID from my user? [00:09] :( [00:09] nylar4: #ubuntu+1 until April 17 [00:10] dw1: Thanks!

I tried patch -p0 /etc/msmtp < /tmp/msmtp-pwpatched/msmtp.patch [00:11] patching file /etc/msmtp [00:11] Waghlis: Agreed, but that's what betas are for I guess [00:11] it seems to have added a command as an applications to the list of applications [00:11] which is frustrating [00:11] nylar4: Network Manager does not work if you run it ?

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [01:01] P1ro, ^^^^^^^ [01:01] Beldar reading [01:01] booting! [01:02] Ray2: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ && ls /mnt/etc/grub.d/ [01:02] Jordan_U, from live cd [01:02] Ray2: Yes. [01:03] Jordan_U, thanks [01:03] Ray2: Your grub.cfg is essentially empty (contains only comments). That's why you're not getting a menu (no menu entries to display). So next we need to find out why the grub.cfg wasn't generated properly. [01:03] problem with a radeon integrate video 200/1100, it was working fine, i did never touched or outdate that comes with ubuntu install, but few days ago i found and old nvidia 8400gs ill installed nvidia drivers from edgers, also bumblebee (i ended unistalling bumblebee to get unity working) and yesterday the old nvidia card DIE so im back to integrate video, but i didnt start lightdm, i followed a tutorial how to get radeon card working on ubuntu with last catalys [01:04] hey guys i tried adding a lock screen button to the main menu setting in xfce4, and it added that "command" to the xfce4-appfinder list, i was wondering if there was a w auy to remove it manually in 12.04 i have deleted it in the main menu setting but it is still persistant within xfce4-appfinder [01:05] Should I install 13.10 which will have support cut in a while, or 14.04 which is not out yet, hmm, either way means problems i'm guessing [01:06] testco: Or you could wait for 14.04 to be released, or install 13.10 and upgrade when 14.04 comes out. [01:07] Jordan_U: I've never had an upgrade work cleanly... [01:08] Is 14.04 frozen now so there won't be many breaking changes? [01:09] My wanker won't show up on ubuntu. What's wrong. === xx is now known as guang === guang is now known as xscan [01:16] Is there any tankg of the most populat ubuntu spins? [01:16] testco: "tankg"? [01:17] ranking... using a mushy keyboard [01:17] Kubuntu is the second most popular followed by X then L? [01:18] Who knows. [01:18] sure would be easier knowing if the package survey was installed by default [01:19] ubuntu 12.04, gnome shell is installed but when I log out it doesn't give me any options to use it, how do I access gnome? [01:20] which java package do i install to use sbt? openjdk-jre7? [01:20] gdm works nicely with gnome-shell [01:20] elroy, The drop down gear? [01:21] Beldar, yeah, logged out, then just logged back in and nowhere was I given gnome shell options [01:21] with the drop down gear [01:21] elroy, How did you install the shell? [01:21] maybe lightdm needs to be restarted to show gnome option [01:21] hey guys i tried adding a lock screen button to the main menu setting in xfce4, and it added that "command" to the xfce4-appfinder list, i was wondering if there was a w auy to remove it manually in 12.04 i have deleted it in the main menu setting but it is still persistant within xfce4-appfinder [01:22] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 [01:22] its installled in the software center === Guest000000 is now known as Guest908765 [01:23] elroy, we don't support ppa's, but the shell is in the ubuntu repos. try sudo apt-get install gnome-shell in the terminal. [01:24] Hey, I'm absolutely new to Linux and I would like to know where I can find a getting started guide. [01:24] Does anyone know why my network keeps disconnecting after heavy traffic? Could it possibly get bottle neck or need to be flush or something like increasing the MTU? [01:25] mmiller13: cable/dsl? wifi/wired? [01:25] wifi [01:25] Jordon_u ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ && ls /mnt/etc/grub.d [01:25] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/ busy [01:25] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /mnt [01:25] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [01:25] this doesn't happen on wire or tether [01:25] mmiller13: good signal?

[01:29] elroy: also, ubuntu-gnome has meta-packages [01:29] elroy: know of ubuntu-gnome? the official gnome distro for ubuntu [01:30] maybe I'll just try it on 13.10 instead [01:30] http://blog.canonical.com/2014/04/02/shutting-down-ubuntu-one-file-services/ WHAT [01:30] testco, is that the distro u use? [01:30] testco, bad news yeah [01:31] elroy: If you like gnome you'll really like http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/ [01:31] 14.04 and 13.10 both work [01:32] Is it possible to run trail version software after expiry without buying full version in ubuntu ?

[01:33] braga, np [01:33] Why would anyone use a non-free editor when there's soo many great free ones [01:34] testco, will ubuntu-gnome install onto a thumb drive easily? [01:34] with unetbootin? [01:34] elroy: unetbootn likes to mangle things, i just dd'd the iso onto a flash drive [01:36] testco, is there a simple step by step copy and paste dd to flash drive tutorial that you know of? [01:37] elroy, you have ubuntu use the startup disk creator [01:38] dd if= of=/dev/sd [01:39] you may also need to set the bootable flag [01:39] maybe I'll just try startup disk creator [01:44] hello [01:45] sup [01:45] anyone heard of running ubuntu on a chromecast?

[02:34] I would like to password/etc protect nginx server from people without proper permissions. Yet keep the url available to those people anywhere on the internet [02:34] Maybe this isn't specific enough for ubuntu [02:35] so you want to pasword protect the entire nginx server? [02:35] or just a specific url [02:35] Oh, right, you want to protect a path, not the full domain. [02:36] Can anyone help me with pptp? It disconnects if i torrent. [02:37] depends if what your downloading is morally just... cuz you know... i have morals... [02:37] pv11: It's really just the url I believe because that's how they would access it. I'm not worried about granting access to actually get into the server but just to password protect whatever contents is at that url [02:38] steve___: are you sure it disconnects and isnt hanging as the torrents is probably taking up all your bandwidth [02:38] hm [02:38] idk. how do i check? [02:38] mikehaas763: perhaps just changing the user of the url dir, or file, and having one user [02:38] well what makes you say it disconnected steve___ [02:39] mikehaas763: or do u have a db of employees [02:39] notification says vpn connection failed [02:40] pv11, I don't know if that's relevant when I'm just trying to block at the browser/URL level [02:40] anyone know how to disable hardware in ubuntu by using sysfs or whatever the equivalent is nowadays?

[03:19] linman24 plenty of adblocking plugins for firefox and chromium [03:19] Installed calligra, but can't seem to get it to start [03:20] don't i want to get rid of the adware? i click on stackexchange/reddit/etc and get popus [03:20] No entries for it in my applications menu, and trying to run calligra from a terminal has no effect [03:21] I just pauses for a second, then releases the terminal [03:22] Can anyone help me...I am using a 3 year old guide to install tor onto ubuntu [03:22] the command is not working [03:23] I went on youtube and someone just downloads tor direcly from firefox on ubuntu [03:23] but this method tells me to download it to widows [03:23] windows [03:23] !enter | Adrenaline|2 [03:23] and somehow transfer it [03:23] sigh [03:23] the command it tells me to enter is [03:24] http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-lucid main" | sudo tee [03:24] something like that [03:25] something like that? lol === samh_afk is now known as samhassell [03:26] Adrenaline|2: Please don't use the [Enter] key as form of punctuation, it's taboo for a large IRC channel; We deal with specifics here, use a pastebin service to provide exact errors, guides, URL's you're referencing/using, etc. then you might actually get some real support. [03:27] okay thanks [03:27] Based on the data you provided, I literally know *nothing* about your problem, other than you may be using Lucid. [03:27] hey xar- [03:27] lol...yea I guess I wasnt too specific [03:28] ill figure it out thanks anyways guys [03:28] ubuntu wont install rails [03:28] ubuntu doesn't install rails, people install rails. [03:28] hi pvl1 [03:28] what is a pastebin service?

[03:29] ^ [03:29] xar- i did gem install rails [03:29] several times [03:29] ok? [03:29] it just sort of freezes [03:29] nothing's returned [03:30] maybe it [03:30] it's taking unusually long [03:30] You have any exact error messages? logs? version numbers? did you try #ruby? did you try #rails? [03:30] tried #ruby [03:30] havent tried #rails [03:30] oh looks like channel is invite only [03:31] so im getting [03:31] "it just sort of freezes" doesn't help you or me understand your problem. [03:31] Permission denied - /var/lib/gems [03:31] try #rubyonrails [03:31] that's the message i received [03:31] That's the message you received when performing what operation? [03:31] so i tried gem install rails [03:31] i get [03:32] ERROR: While executing gem...(Errno:EACCES) [03:32] Permission denied -/var/lib/gems [03:32] so perhaps it requires administrative level access; did you try prepending sudo? example: `sudo gem install rails` ? [03:33] no i havent [03:35] I know very little abour RoR, I'd check out their support channel or good ol' google. [03:35] #rubyonrails [03:36] xar- sudo seems to be doing the trick so far [03:36] I did an update and my apache server broke. It says that the mod_mpm_itk.so file is missing [03:36] What did you update? [03:36] i liked ruby, but ruby on rails is a pita. i digress [03:37] Man this channel is notorious for bad questions. lol [03:37] then I tried to fix the broken package in synaptic and it says Unable to correct problems you have broken packages [03:37] incognito: hti b, and install what you need [03:37] in apttiude [03:37] aptitude [03:37] "Something happened fellas. Help me." [03:37] hti b? [03:37] i think next time i come in here, ima say halp [03:38] hit b [03:38] b finds broken packages in aptitude [03:38] but you might not even have aptitude, and cant isntall it with a broken package [03:38] I did the broken packages and it gives me an error [03:38] Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [03:38] hm. i wonder. find mod_mpm* / [03:39] as sudo [03:39] so unhold them [03:39] what are held broken packages [03:39] or downgrade whatever you upgraded [03:39] incognito: when you hold packages you prevent them from upgrading [03:39] so when you upgrade only part of a working system... some parts will become not working [03:40] how to unhold? [03:40] idr. probably unflag them in synaptic [03:40] xar-: ^^ [03:41] I hope that server wasn't hosting anything important. I'm unfamiliar with that mpm. [03:42] it's not hosting anything, but it's in a developer environment and I need to get to work on a project. It will take a long time to set everything up from scratch. I might have to wipe my hard drive clean and reinstall [03:43] or.. unflag the held packages [03:43] any recommendations for pc's on a stick that can run ubuntu? [03:44] I don't know what unflag means or where they are flagged at. [03:44] hm [03:44] I'd see if there's any documentation on Google to roll back your change(s); Also, I'd look into perhaps virtualizing your development environment (if it's not) so you can perform imaging/snapshotting, so if an update breaks, you can easily roll back. [03:44] !pinning | incognito [03:44] incognito: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [03:44] yay [03:44] I spent 3 hours searching google before I came here [03:44] so thats how you hold packages [03:44] hephaestus_rg: your thumb drive [03:44] thanks [03:44] can you plug it into a tv? pvl1 [03:45] and incognito .... def get into the vm as xar- said [03:45] (i mean everthing on the stick, with a tv as display) [03:45] hephaestus_rg: no. its a usb thumbdrive. the chromecast thing need hdmi output [03:45] and need to be powered [03:45] furthermore you need an interface [03:45] something like http://www.amazon.com/Rikomagic-Latest-Android-Bluetooth-RK3188 that runs ubuntu [03:45] so find some raspberry pi variant thats small enof for your liking [03:45] There are so many providers which offer cloud imaging, definitely look into that. :) === james_ is now known as Guest91503 [03:45] rpi seems like the best option [03:46] rpi [03:46] well [03:46] is there somewhere i can order a prefabbed raspberry pi [03:46] i meant find a small ARM board [03:46] hephaestus_rg: have you looked into the microcontroller market? ask the guys in #arduino [03:46] theyll help u better [03:46] thanks, i'll check it out. #raspberrypi seems like a ghost town [03:47] I would have gotten into vm a long time ago, but I don't have a computer that can handle it yet. === badon_ is now known as badon === Guest91503 is now known as JamesUSMC97 [03:48] incognito: make backups [03:48] and make your webserver dir its own partition [03:48] that you can back up [03:53] how do i install software on ubuntu [03:53] i downloaded sublime text [03:53] xar-: ^^ [03:53] !gpt [03:53] !synaptic| selina345 [03:53] selina345: A Graphical Package Manager.

[04:00] ;) [04:00] theres a lot of docs out there [04:02] now to just figure out how to actually mount it right. [04:03] I cannot tell if its ntfs or not [04:03] sudo mount /dev/whatever /someLCOATIONtoMOUNTto [04:04] not working [04:04] it wants the file system type [04:04] Sivik: Does the mount point you want to mount it to exist? [04:04] Yes, /windows I just created [04:05] Sivik: [ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/whatever /windows ] [04:05] I don't think its ntfs [04:05] Sivik: What else would a Windows partition be, FAT32? [04:05] http://pastebin.com/c8jBc9VN [04:05] or fat 16 [04:05] jus sayin [04:05] it won't mount with -t ntfs [04:06] Sivik: What about the output of [ sudo parted -l ]? [04:06] pvl1: lol, FAT(16) [04:06] http://pastebin.com/H3wFSYGT [04:07] Sivik: LDM? Is that Logical Data/Volume Management? [04:07] Sivik: What does terminal command -> sudo parted -l <- tell you . [04:07] Bashing-om, thats what is in the pastebin [04:07] I just told him to do that Bashing-om :) [04:07] Well hell, this is probably not going to work cause I think at one point of time it was a software RAID [04:08] Sivik: Ah. See if you have ldmtool. [04:08] If not, install it [04:09] installing [04:09] now to figure out how to use that [04:10] Sivik: When we're done, a little foo with mdadm should solve this somewhat. Meantime, [ man ldmtool ] [04:11] awesome, ldmtool found something on a scan [04:12] Sivik: It probably listed the RAID array ... also check this out: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?40711-SOLVED-Unable-to-mount-ldm-(dynamic-disks-partitions)-in-Linux [04:12] http://pastebin.com/4ztabGu8 [04:12] thats the fun [04:13] ah, i have to reformat to be able to install in linux, oh boy. [04:13] windows seems to think there is a problem on the drive but I cannot find one when I do a scan in linux [04:15] hot damn [04:15] oh, maybe that didn't help. [04:18] That worked.

[04:31] especialy without propper drivers [04:32] It also crashed while I was browsing. But I didn't know how to check for problems. [04:32] Now you told me. [04:32] It's intel drivers. Ubuntu comes with it already. [04:32] Intel HD4600 graphics driver is probably okay on Ubuntu. [04:33] I have no discrete graphics card. I'm using the embedded graphics card.

[05:46] Well then. [05:47] Guess I have no problem, then. [05:51] Dylan: it's a processor it's supposed to process, newer cpus will regulate it's own speed so power saving isn't a concern. this is only a problem if you need to free up processing resources, much like ram unused ram is mostly wasted ram === dex is now known as Guest2338 [05:52] Gotcha.

[06:17] Hi Ubuntu gurus! I'm in need of some basic linux configuration schooling: I just rented a VPS with the goal of hosting a single php script that connects to a MySQL database on a remote server somewhere else on the internet. I use this script http://pastebin.com/u2i51cCE as a simple MySQL connection tester, but unfortunately this script doesn't work: when I navigate to it on my VPS it doesn't show any message, neither "Conne [06:20] Hi, How to change the keyboard layout from singleuser mode permanently? [06:21] valiant_falstaff are you sure that remote host is reachable? [06:21] valiant_falstaff: even though this is not ubuntu related, try mysql_connect directly [06:21] mows0: yes, I have tried the connection script on another one of my hosted servers and it works fine [06:22] mows0: the only difference between my VPS and the other hosted server is that I have to set up the VPS myself: it starts with only Ubuntu installed and I have to take it from there (installing PHP and Apache myself, etc.) [06:23] Kartagis: I'm not sure I know what you mean. Do you mean change the PHP script? [06:23] valiant_falstaff: yeah, lose $dbhandle = [06:24] Kartagis: Okay, I'll try that real quick [06:24] valiant_falstaff: start with mysql_connect [06:24] valiant_falstaff ok so you have php installed. that would have been my next question ;) [06:24] mows0: Yes I do and I have ensured that it's working with a simple phpinfo() script [06:26] Kartagis: unfortunately cutting the "$dbhandle = " didn't work. [06:27] How do you guys setup trim on your SSDs? online discard or a daily job? [06:27] which in a way makes sense since the script works on other hosts. That's why I assumed it's an Ubuntu configuration issue on my part [06:30] Is NDISWRAPPER only for wireless drivers??? === Zeroedout_ is now known as Zeroedout [06:33] Hello, I am attempting to install Ubuntu 13.10 on an Acer Extensa 5420 The live boot works fine and the installation goes to completion.

[06:59] I know it's deprecated in favor of mysqli_connect() but the PHP documentation doesn't say anything about this function not working [07:00] valiant_falstaff: Probably because it's deprecated since php 5.0 [07:00] *5.5 [07:00] valiant_falstaff: what's your php version?

[08:18] does ubuntu normally come with yum, and if so, why? [08:19] daniel31: no, it comes with apt [08:19] thats what I thought. he was mistakenly typing yum by accident instead of yum but no error apparently? is there some sort of weird tool that would install yum for some reason?

[10:19] Thebluelad: or try /topic -- basically, yes [10:19] typically people describe their issue or ask a question then maybe someone answers [10:20] Any idea about fixing a system hang after resuming from suspend? [10:20] Thebluelad: become a kernel developer, fix the bug.

[10:22] Thebluelad: i wouldnt really know where to start.. so would try http://google.com/search?q=ubuntu+system+hang+after+resume+suspend [10:22] Pretty sure I've narrowed it down to an issue with the video driver [10:22] I've done a bunch of searching which is why I'm here [10:22] cool [10:22] As a last resort [10:22] perfect [10:22] Thebluelad: then become a GPU driver developer, and fix the bug. Or pay a GPOU driver developer to fix the bug. [10:23] ... If you have nothing valuable to add please don't comment. [10:23] I've been looking for a solution for a long time [10:23] Thebluelad: you are wasting our time. [10:23] Thebluelad: I have just told you what the solutions are. [10:23] asking the internet for help is fraught with peril :) [10:24] Do you have any other tips for me dw1? [10:24] Or anyone who I should find to ask or anything? [10:24] Thebluelad: no exp with that issue myself [10:24] Walex: Please be helpful, telling somebody to become a kernel developer to fix is bug isn't much use [10:24] Thebluelad: it could be a lot of things... [10:25] DJones: I also suggested paying a developer to fix the bug. There is a bug, it has to be fixed, and there are only two possibilities: fix it yourself, pay someone to fix it. [10:25] From what I can gather, it seems like an issue with nvidia drivers [10:26] how did you gather that [10:26] Thebluelad: then pay nVidia to fix the drivers. They have the sources. [10:26] Lots and lots of google [10:26] whats the evidence [10:26] The solutions to the problem almost always seem to involve switching from a nouveau driver to the nvidia drivers or vice versa [10:27] but like I said, new to all this so it's a little confusing [10:27] hmm you could try a diff nvidia version [10:27] Thebluelad: the 'nouveau' and 'nvidia' drivers have different bugs in different cases. [10:27] hey guys, for didactic purposes I owuld like to create something in Python (or whatever) that tiles windows in xubuntu like in ubunut [10:28] e.g., pressing ctrl+alt+numpad 9 tiles the window in the top right corner [10:28] an clues where I even begin? [10:28] I tried to switch the driver once and ended up not having any gui and I had no idea how to come back from that so I had to do a fresh install [10:29] I'm kind of afraid to try it again [10:29] same here, I don't know how I fixed it [10:29] but I'm not touching those drivers ever again... [10:29] Thebluelad: same here [10:29] I tried bumblebee as well [10:30] I have no idea how any of it works. Really new to linux and finding it pretty tough to fix this one bug [10:30] Thebluelad: there's a binary you can download and run from command prompt if that happens to fix it [10:31] Could you be a little more specific please? Newbie here :P [10:31] cant remember where i got mine [10:31] Thebluelad: what is the issue? [10:32] http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html i guess [10:32] Having issues restarting from suspend/hibernate to those who asked [10:32] * Walex wonders where to find a spell of magical kernel bug fixing :-) [10:32] going with the non-ubuntu driver should not be the first solution [10:32] i dont think a different video driver will fix that. [10:32] Walex: please be helpfull in here. [10:33] Any other suggestions? [10:33] k1l_: if you know how to get kernel bugs fixed without fixing them, let us know. [10:33] Thebluelad: the best bet is to search if that suspend/resume problem is a known problem for your device at all [10:33] Walex: last time now: be helpfull in here. just ranting and flaming is not the way to go in here [10:34] I've done a bunch of searches and it seems to be that the solution almost always involves switching the video driver [10:34] and the other options haven't worked for me [10:34] Thebluelad: which ubuntu are you on exactly? [10:34] is it a laptop or desktop [10:34] 13.10 [10:34] Laptop [10:34] which laptop? [10:35] Macbook Pro [10:35] k1l_: you are ranting and flaming at me. I have offered only helpful suggewstions: that kernel bugs don't fix themselves, and either "scratch your itch" or you pay someone to do that for you. You have contributed zero operational suggestions, and just attacked me, [10:35] 10,1 [10:35] Thebluelad: ah, a macbook [10:36] "ah, a macbook"? [10:36] common issues or something? [10:37] problems with suspending is a common issue, especially on laptops. having a macbook probably makes it easier to find a solution if one exists [10:37] Well I'm not sure if you guys are willing to have a look but I've done a lot of searching and come up virtually empty handed [10:38] People seem to be solving the problem, but despite several attempts to follow their methods, I can't seem to [10:39] It's just this one problem though. When I was on mint, I couldn't even change brightness, let alone suspend/hibernate. Now I can change the brightness but I still can't suspend/hibernate [10:40] If I could get that working, it'd all be working perfectly smoothly [10:40] Thebluelad: i found 2 solutions: 1. set it to intel (the integrated video card) only and run with the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver. that is reported as working, but then you only run with the smaller video card === Emil__ is now known as x0brE8 [10:41] or 2.: run a 3.13.. kernel (like in 14.04) where this is reported as working. so either try a vanilla kernel or try the 14.04 beta if that works [10:41] oh... dual gpu [10:41] Thanks for actually having a look! :) [10:41] and yeah dual gpu [10:42] I'm not entirely sure what you mean by option 2. Any chance you could link me to it? [10:42] Thebluelad: that answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/412813/suspend-hibernate-broken-on-macbook-pro-10-1-retina-with-ubuntu-13-10 [10:43] How would I go about updating the kernel to 14.04? [10:43] Do I need to do another install? [10:43] i would suggest to make a 14.04 usb and try it form there [10:43] :/ alright thanks [10:44] So there's no easier way to do it? [10:45] Thebluelad, do you want to install kernel 3.14 on your ubuntu distro? [10:45] aloha all :p === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [10:45] hey fellas! can someone advice a tutorial or some other form of material to help write a shell script. I want a terminal contantly output a random number, clear screen, then output a random number again [10:45] i am looking for a vanilla kernel explanation site in english right now [10:45] !vanilla [10:46] !mainline [10:46] The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [10:46] Oh wow, they have a mac version for 14.04 [10:46] Hi Curious btw [10:46] Thebluelad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds for kernels to try [10:47] Trying to fix a waking from suspend problem on macbook pro 10,1 ubuntu 13.10 [10:47] Thebluelad, yep i saw it aswell, mac supported :D [10:48] All of the kernel stuff is really new to me, is there somewhere to learn about it [10:48] mmm... 32 bits or 64? [10:48] 64 [10:49] ok, gives me a minute -.- [10:50] anyone is using trac SSO with active directory. need help [10:50] installed google-chrome-stable in 12.04 box, its non-clickable in the dashboard. when I try to open it from the terminal, it gives me permission denied . what was the problem ? [10:50] Thebluelad, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7202683/ [10:51] shafox, try to change owner or permissions [10:51] Chuck_Norris: What I am looking at? [10:51] tadziz, tried to do with sudo but again same problem , persmission denied [10:52] wow "What am I looking at"* [10:52] mmm... solve a problem related to supend [10:52] Chuck_Norris: Forgive me, I'm really new to this [10:53] np, i meant, download all those three files then install them in that order [10:54] "headers all", "header", and late but not less important "image" :p -.- [10:54] oh ok thanks. And I can do that all on 13.10 and stuff? No need for reinstall of my os? [10:54] The websites stackoverflow and linux.die gives a lot of information [10:56] Jesus fucking christ…has it been known that Linux RAID5s spontaniously disappeared? As in…created with the Disks UI in Ubuntu, 4 drives à 2TB, working for a month and then just…disappearing. It's just gone. Any attempt at recovering I found online didn't work and I'm fucking furious as I lost about 1TB of data that I hadn't backed up anywhere else. [10:56] yeah, look... http://i.imgur.com/60Xtd2P.png [10:56] Is that something that USUALLY happens? Like…is that within the fucking norm? #Rant -.- [10:57] KateTheAwesome: please watch your language in here. thanks [10:57] haha that looks terrifying as a new linux user [10:58] Is there a way to turn off the notifications of people joining and leaving the irc? [10:58] in a few words i'm running "Ubuntu 13.10" with 3.14 kernel version [10:58] hi [10:58] Thebluelad: depends on your irc client [10:58] no one is using Trac with SSO:/ [10:58] k1l_ Yea right. [10:59] hey any app to run in linux for making traffic [10:59] Thebluelad: btw: dont run IRC as root. you should not run anything as root at all, except you know what you do. and irc dont needs root at all [10:59] Thebluelad, not to mention that i am running Mesa 10.2 -.- Obiaf repos :P [10:59] agostin: easiest one could be starting a torrent linux.iso [11:00] is there an alternative for flash player (open source) like openjdk is to oracle java ?

[12:51] okay [12:52] HOW CAN I FIX MY UBUNTU USING LIVE CD? MY NVIDIA DRIVER IS BROKEN. ANY IDEAS? I REALLY NEED TO FIX IT TODAY! [12:53] bgardner: For applications that I want to keep in my home folder (say, my Eclipse installation) I use kmenuedit to add a new entry pointing to the binary (say ~/eclipse/eclipse). This shortcut could be used from the menu, which is great, and I can find it in ~/.local/share/applications, but synapse refuse to turn up any result whenever I search for "Eclipse" [12:54] catalin_laurenti ALL CAPS IS ANNOYING! STOP! [12:54] catalin_laurenti: bekks answered your question (twice), did you read what you were given? [12:54] cfhowlett I am desperate! bgardner that fix is for ubuntu 10 [12:54] trung_: Could you pastebin your .desktop contents for Eclipse? [12:55] catalin_laurenti desperate doesn't excuse rude. drop the caps please. [12:55] bgardner: give me a second [12:56] catalin_laurenti, it's the same issue, surely the fix will work for your 13.10 too === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [12:57] bgardner: http://pastebin.com/mCQ8fDK0 [12:58] bgardner: the file is ~/.local/share/applications/Eclipse.desktop [12:59] trung_: Okay, hang on while I compare that to my own eclipse.desktop. [12:59] bgardner, wait, that is a topic I was going to ask [13:00] bgardner, I am trying to get my executable open [13:00] bgardner, but it won't open becuase, no program, that can execute it [13:00] trung_: Try editing the Exec path to use the full path and not the ~ shortcut. That's the biggest difference between your file and mine. [13:01] Eli-5dce: Are you also talking about Synapse not working with a .desktop entry? [13:01] bgardner: my previous version had the full path, and it did not work either [13:01] trung_: Just working with what you give me here. [13:02] bgardner: do you need to restart it for it to work? [13:02] bgardner, Snypse, I dont think so, I just can't execute my eclipse program file [13:03] trung_: Not unless you edited the desktop after you created it. If you did, then yes, close and reopen Synapse. [13:05] Eli-5dce: pastebin your .desktop file that isn't working and we'll see what advice we can give you [13:09] bgardner: not even restarting the OS fixed it. Really weird [13:10] trung_: Hang on, I'll pastebin mine that I know works. You'll need to edit paths, of course. [13:10] Krunner could find it though [13:11] bgardner, I am talking about eclipse btw [13:13] Eli-5dce: I understood that, could you pastebin your error that you are getting and/or the desktop file that you were wanting help with? === ToBeFree is now known as Guest12345 === Guest12345 is now known as ToBeFree [13:13] trung_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7203206/ [13:14] Could not display “eclipse”.There is no application installed for “executable” files.

[13:19] bgardner [13:19] Eli-5dce: I'm here, just trying to work out what "adt bundle" is. [13:20] shibly, go to the net beans icon, right click, unlock from launcher, and drag out of the launcher [13:20] bgardner, adt = "Android Developer Tools" [13:21] Eli-5dce: One moment [13:21] Eli-5dce: Okay, how did you install Eclipse? [13:22] I have no idea how to, do I need to extract it in my files or? [13:22] I am a 64 bit ubuntu [13:23] Eli-5dce: Thanks [13:23] shibly, no problemo [13:23] is iftop displaying the speed in kilobits or kilobytes? [13:24] Eli-5dce: The error you are getting sounds to me like you downloaded an Eclipse bundle from eclipse.org (or somewhere) but have not yet installed it. You need to use the documentation instructions from the download location to get it installed on your system. [13:24] hello [13:24] oh, I figured out what caused the the file not to be found. In my original file (which was generated by kmenuedit) it had this "Path[$e]=" line, which was probably not understood. Removing that solved the problem. [13:24] kk [13:24] is it possible to tell apt not to restart services while updating ? [13:24] Eli-5dce: Once it is installed, you should have a menu entry that will work for Eclipse. [13:25] trung_: I wondered about that. Thanks for the follow-up. [13:25] how do i get zsh themes to look right in gnome-terminal?

I don't have anything specific in mind, although some research has shown install win8 first, and ubuntu last [14:45] i've found # parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt mkpart P1 ext3 1MiB 8MiB but what is the 1,8MiB? it says in the help that is START and END, but start and end of what? just the partition table? or will this make an 8 megabyte partition? [14:46] Aaruni: okay, so try win8 first in VM and then ubuntu to get familiar in Virtualbox to see how it goes [14:47] am un able to install it. through package not working [14:47] KyouReeUs4nfo: I am not at all sure if multiboot works in VMs. Secondly, win+ubuntu is no problem. running win7 + ubuntu stable right now. its the whole plethora of other OSs that I've made up my mind to install [14:47] Innocent: pidgin is the main program for that stuff, i don't think it does twitter though (I wouldn't know I don't waste time marketting to other marketting people on twitter) [14:48] salamisami: because your command was malformed and added some random text to the file [14:48] but thats probably what you are looking for ;p it defintaly does facebook, AIM, IRC, gmail and a ton of others [14:48] Innocent: try gwibber for twitter, and pdigin/empathyIM for facebook chat ? [14:48] Aaruni: why wouldn't it work in VM? Can't say I have tried it though. [14:48] salamisami: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf you can edit the file. [14:48] ok [14:48] well i tried again [14:48] the file has the following in it: [14:48] blacklist cpufreq_stats [14:48] and that's all. tyvm for your help [14:49] KyouReeUs4nfo: simply because I've never actually seen it as a viable option, don't have evidence to suggest otherwise, but a gut feeling. I'll try it as soon as I get my win8 installation shipped to me. can you PM me an alt way of contacting you ? [14:49] salamisami: np [14:49] i mean it still doesnt work but thank you for your effort in helping me :P [14:50] Always usefull: lsb_release -c [14:50] when i try to unload old driver i stil get: FATAL: Module acpi_cpufreq is in use [14:50] salamisami: what command are you using?

[15:13] hey, how would I go about cleaning up my home folder of files/folders that are not needed without manually getting rid of something that might cause problems? [15:13] h3r01ne did you format the hdd before you installed? [15:14] i formatted it during the installation [15:14] cfhowlett did it during istallation [15:16] h3r01ne including your /home partition? [15:17] cfhowlett: no. should i? do you mean during the intallation-disk or before the installation with other means? [15:18] cfhowlett: how should i format the drive? [15:18] Guest168: find out what is in a folder and why it's there. If you don't know, keep looking and don't delete it. [15:18] h3r01ne there it is. your /home holds your user configurations. assuming the previous configs were funky, they are STILL funky. [15:19] h3r01ne reinstall. when you get to the partition sectioning of installation, format the partitions. [15:20] cfhowlett: alright... thx will do that [15:20] h3r01ne: That situation is often caused if you run a GUI application as root and it changes the ownership/permissions of folders in your $HOME. [15:20] h3r01ne: You could also try creating a new user and logging in as that user. You could use rescue mode or simply switch to a terminal. You can probably log in as your regular user from the console. [15:21] Reinstalling the whole OS, like rebooting, is more of a Windows solution.

[15:25] well, if you installed the package from the ubuntu repos - it should have set this up for you [15:25] if you didn't, remove the package, and install it from the ubuntu packages [15:27] how can i remove apache2 in terminal window?

[15:41] cfoch: you aren't wrong, but [15:42] cfoch: you should be sure it's an issue for upstream before you report it at upstream's bug tracker [15:42] because it's annoying to report distro specific bugs to upstream, whose fault it isn't :) [15:43] hello [15:43] whois here ? [15:43] if you're unsure you can report it at your distro's bug tracker, and presumably the maintainer of that package will be familiar enough, even if you aren't, to decide whether it's a problem for upstream or not [15:43] Guest3802: people and things [15:43] ok, [15:43] could you help e , how to build own linux dist / [15:43] plzzz [15:43] !

[16:06] Innocent, then sorry, not available [16:06] OerHeks, Ok, Is there an Alternative-to it ? [16:08] So... [16:08] What icon theme is this: [16:08] http://gilesbathgate.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/screenshot-from-2012-08-30-191023.png [16:08] (i.e the toolbar) [16:08] Innocent, that friends app is a rewritten gwibber, use gwibber? [16:09] !elementary | ShawnRisk [16:09] ShawnRisk: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [16:09] jhutchins: okay [16:09] OerHeks, Yes, it's a QML version, but gwibber has a lot of errors [16:11] OerHeks, Didn't work well for me [16:12] hello, everybody. does someone come across the problem libGL error: open uki failed (Operation not permitted) [16:13] miu_, may be permission problem ? [16:14] Innocent, this article gives ppaś but not for precise, so no go [16:14] http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/install-friends-app-gwibber-rewritten.html [16:14] I try to give permission to /proc/ati and it doen't work for me [16:15] OerHeks, I have already read it :), Nothing helped me [16:15] reisio: trying to find what the default icon theme is in ubuntu... [16:15] http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?82952-AMD-Catalyst-13-8-Beta do as the post suggests [16:15] Innocent, wait 13 days untill 14.04 is released? [16:16] I don't know which step I do is wrong. [16:16] OerHeks, I have to wait to 1 Year until i get a new computer can deal with 14.04 :) [16:17] Innocent lubuntu 14.04 ought to run on anything [16:17] !lubuntu|Innocent [16:17] Innocent: 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. [16:17] cfhowlett, Lightweight [16:18] awesome, but i'm not sure if it could work for me [16:18] Giles2: it's probably GNOME's [16:18] miu_: ? [16:19] reisio, sorry to disturb you if you are having a meal. [16:19] miu_, what's the message after you did include a valid permission ? [16:19] reisio: I had to install gnome-icon-theme-full to get the icons to show up in my qt app that I wrote... [16:20] reisio: but I just want it to use the current theme, not the gnome icons. [16:20] I just type the chmod -R 777 /proc/ati/ in the root permission and the message is the same [16:21] nothing change [16:22] hey folks [16:22] whats the easiest way to migrate 1 remote server to another? [16:23] !server|hehehe might want to ask the server channel [16:23] hehehe might want to ask the server channel: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [16:23] My desktop computer with ArchLinux installed doesn't across the problem at all, but my laptop with ubuntu 13.10 come across with this. [16:23] I don't come across the problem with ubuntu 12.04 [16:23] before [16:23] Okay ! hehehe ! What a name you have chosen :P [16:24] ::)))) [16:24] miu_, It has to do with a driver, i guess [16:24] ok I was thinking ubuntu and ubuntu server share same kernels [16:24] Capprentice: I prefer _46bit 's name [16:24] I try to uninstall and install the catalyst driver again and again [16:25] even from the official repository [16:26] is it possible that the problem result from the kernel version? [16:27] <_46bit> aww thanks Giles2 [16:27] <_46bit> prefer to what? :-) [16:27] my kernel version now is 3.11 [16:28] but I didn't come across other problems except this. oh, my head is spinning these day about this problem. [16:29] _46bit: hehehe [16:29] :))) [16:30] _46bit: I am not laughing, thats his name [16:31] I will take away that name once you log off : hehehe [16:31] I can register it :P [16:31] or not [16:32] hey vlada [16:32] Hi! :) [16:32] btw if I copy files owned by root to box nr2 box2 root can use them? [16:33] hehehe: install the OS on box2 and copy the non-OS-data over [16:33] Does anyone know why WM/compiz or whatever sometimes stop redrawing content of screen? It happens with Firefox and Chrome only. [16:33] yes thats my idea [16:33] Any one using Cryptkeeper on Ubuntu 13.10 ? === rickyb98 is now known as RickyB98 [16:34] Capprentice: probably someone [16:34] vlada: 'cause it's buggy, or your hardware is, or both [16:34] KyouReeUs4nfo: new box need old root pass or not? [16:34] to access files [16:34] hehehe: root pass? which OS is it? [16:34] Ubuntu [16:35] files owned by root [16:35] reisio, Happens with all software! Any chance someone has a workaround? [16:35] Hi everyone. This is the case: On Thursday next week, everyone in my year is going to take the same national test. The test is in Swedish (I'm Swedish), and we're supposed to write an essay. The headmaster said that no computers could be used, because they had no realistic way of stopping cheaters. If I could present a functional solution though, he would happily consider using it, allowing us to write on our laptops. [16:35] The easiest and most secure way seems to be to run a live CD, with a customized system that lacks network drivers and pretty much all software except Libreoffice Writer. The automatically signed in user should not be able to gain root access. Does such live system exist, so I can just burn it, or would I have to create and customize my own live system? [16:35] ok I got it [16:35] hehehe: hehehe [16:35] root can reassign files ownership [16:35] so its cool [16:35] now i can sell ebook - how to copy your server [16:36] vlada: use another wm [16:36] Is cryptkeeper even working ? I have followed the steps mentioned in Noobslab page and installed the patched version of Unity. Whitelistes Cryptkeeper. But when Im tyring to fire it up, it crashed instantly with a "segmentation fault" error. Whats wrong ? How do I troubleshoot this ? [16:36] Kottizen: how will you stop reboot into another os [16:36] vlada: or another graphics driver [16:36] vlada: or other graphics hardware [16:36] or any combination of those [16:37] Kottizen: cant watch all screens all the time :/ [16:37] reisio, send me some GeForce hardware, please! [16:37] :) [16:37] dw1: The teacher collecting the test will grab the computer, plug in a network cable and transfer the essay. They'll notice if the wrong OS is booted. (There will be network drivers, but only for ethernet - not wifi.) [16:37] also there is Gnome desktop, but where is Snowhite desktop? [16:38] vlada: k [16:38] hehehe: <- [16:38] hehehe: not here [16:38] Kottizen: You can use slitaz. [16:38] hehehe ! [16:38] Im laughting okay.. [16:40] Kottizen: could put a secret CMOS password on it so they cant reboot :) [16:40] Capprentice: Looks promising, I'll give it a try! [16:40] (y) [16:40] okay [16:41] dw1: Heh, I guess that's one option :) If anyone actually reboots and cheats, that's probably what they'll do [16:41] Greetings. Does anyone know how to link a local linux account with a domain account [16:41] ? [16:41] Kottizen: so... [16:41] Kottizen: thats what you can do to prevent them booting [16:41] Kottizen: what is it you're trying to keep people from doing? === tt_ is now known as Guest8259 [16:42] reisio: People should only be able to access a word processor [16:43] dw1: It's unfortunately not a realistic option as the teachers aren't that techy :/ The solution has to be a "just works" one [16:44] Kottizen: okay, and what about the answer to my question [16:44] RFleming: no clue, if this would help though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [16:44] reisio: oh, sorry - they should not be able to cheat in the most obvious ways, i.e. no network access and no access to the host's hard drive [16:44] Umm...create a system of your own using https://susestudio.com [16:44] Kottizen: https://susestudio.com [16:45] Hi, i just ssh’ into a ubuntu instance [16:45] Kottizen: mmm, well [16:45] Kottizen: using their own computers? [16:45] KyouReeUs4nfo, Thanks. I've joined the domain, can log in with my domain credentials and everything works that way... but I'd rather use my local account and have it associated with my domain account. [16:45] and i want to add my key to they authorized_keys in ~/.ssh [16:45] but the folder is not there :S [16:45] Kottizen: unfortunately, while it's _incredibly rare_, booting a live OS _can_ hose things, including actual hardware [16:45] reisio: all students have their own laptops provided by the school [16:45] Kottizen: it's just not a good idea [16:45] Kottizen: oh provided by the school, so you know all the hardware? [16:46] yes, everyone's got the same hardware [16:46] RFleming: how would that help? [16:46] Capprentice: I've thought of that (used it when it was new!) - but do you know if it's possible to omit wlan drivers with suse studio? [16:46] Kottizen suse is not supported here [16:47] oh, sorry [16:47] Kottizen: you could make an image that has no FS support and only allows access to a single web-based word processor and only a web browser to get there, sure [16:47] KyouReeUs4nfo, I went through likewise-open5, which doesn't add domain users to the local system, so assigning a domain user to a group is a PITA [16:47] Hi all. Mad success on the PXE booting front; I just had to muddle my way through NFS config to make sure NFSv3 was supported. Still no easy workaround for Ubuntu NFSv4 root at the moment, per my research. [16:47] Kottizen: I suggest starting with sysresccd [16:48] Kottizen: http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_personalize_SystemRescueCd [16:48] My current problem is that, since /etc/network/interfaces contains "iface eth0 inet maual" and its address is received from the DHCP server pre-boot, the booted system has no nameserver in resolv.conf [16:49] Kottizen: a better long term approach might be to turn all the laptops into terminals that use remote filesystem data always, so you don't have to boot a live os [16:49] So, no name resolution, and thus no LDAP accounts, and thus no access to my lab computers :( [16:49] My dhcp server does have option domain-name-servers ;" [16:50] Other dhcp clients get the nameserver just fine [16:51] reisio: that would be the ideal solution, but I highly doubt the school's wireless network would sustain that :/ thank you for the tip about sysresccd though, I'll definitely look into it! [16:52] hi, how would I get GL working with an AMD 690G chipset? === bfiller is now known as bfiller_afk [16:52] in the worst case, I think software acceleration would be fine too [16:52] reisio: Sounds like an awesome idea. I'm trying to push a similar thing at my k-8 school with some of the new ASUS linux netbooks [16:53] Kottizen: May be possible, not sure. You can use Remastersys to create a customized version of Ubuntu by removing all drivers and everything else except Writer, [16:54] Question: How to diagnose "segmentation fault" ? [16:54] Kottizen: you could also implement just an authentication/access to local data system that uses the wireless [16:54] Kottizen: but it'd probably take more work than just adding more wireless routers would [16:54] RFlemming: so currently, you are on a domain (using likewise..) and would like to use your local user credentials instead and still be part of domain? [16:55] ckindley: I s'pose it could be useful in many ways, to restrict access [16:55] for Kottizen's thing, though... people should really be able to "write" and essay with a pen or pencil, long hand [16:55] an* [16:55] pen [16:55] are you kidding? [16:56] hehehe: nope [16:56] that's what I thought too [16:56] to force people use pen, thats too much [16:56] When trying to print (Canon MP280) I get "unplugged or turned off" and can't print, obviously. How do I fix this?! [16:56] it's four hours, no break ): [16:56] I recall sitting exams where i had to use pen [16:56] and examiner could not read well what I wrote [16:56] i can't find option "Install Ubuntu alongside windows 8" when i try to install Ubuntu 13.10 [16:57] bluetrees: did you plug it in? [16:57] well at least I can use pen, maybe many already cant :D [16:57] Yes, reisio, it's plugged in. [16:57] Kottizen: sounds like an absurd testing scheme, then [16:57] Kottizen: computer or not [16:57] bluetrees: did you turn it on? [16:57] It's on :^ ) [16:57] i can't find option "Install Ubuntu alongside windows 8" when i try to install Ubuntu 13.10 ?? [16:58] bluetrees: did you connect it? [16:58] Yes, reisio...it's been fine but after installing new ink cartridge that's all I get "unplugged" etc. [16:59] Anyone, how to set static DNS on a PXE-booted system? [16:59] i can't find option "Install Ubuntu alongside windows 8" when i try to install Ubuntu 13.10 !! [17:01] bluetrees: you try unplugging & replugging? [17:02] Yes, I did, reisio. [17:03] Additionally, reisio, when I click to dropdown "System settings...", "Displays...", etc., "Printers..." shows nothing. [17:04] Help! WiFi shows connected. But there's no internet. Tried every solution, nothing worked. Broadcom BCM3413 driver [17:04] wich should best driver for ati xpress200 (integrate desktop video) i reading and looks like is not suported bye the fglrx, cant some1 recomend a good dirver for it?

[17:06] something else [17:06] seko: something else sounds like the better choice [17:06] seko, click on select the partition manually or something. The last option [17:06] seko: yeah.. Something else [17:06] nazis from #ubuntu have taken over ;) ... it was a lame joke about the -v on ~root [17:07] sorry [17:07] notroot: clearly [17:07] anoyne has test the PPA oibaf for ati ?

[17:09] hello Does anyone have experience with Optimus and HDMI Output ? [17:10] i apologize [17:11] Question: If I copy user information for one user from /etc/pass /etc/shadow onto another computer, will that user be able to log in on that other computer? Let's assume, I can copy the files on a USB stick and copy the text from files. [17:12] Forgot to mention both computers have same OS. [17:13] hrm [17:15] whats the deal with zentyal [17:15] Hmm.

No wonder I wasted so much time! [17:59] Sigh. [18:01] hi what is the meaning of "nobinonly" ? [18:03] monoton: likely referring to that it is not a binary only build [18:04] Pici: what does that mean? [18:04] monoton: probably that it contains more than just the executable itself. [18:04] it doesn't contain a binary? (aka the program file) or it doesn't containd ONLY the binary, but also other things like documantation and pictures or [18:05] aha ok. I though all packages had more than the binary :-) [18:05] monoton: Probably the binonly build is default, and this is how they denote that this is not that build [18:06] aha [18:06] as long as it isn't missing the binary I'm happy :D [18:09] Is there a easy way to see if you integrated(on a laptop) webcam is broken? When I try cheese it shows me nothing. When I try with skype my webcam starts for around 3 seconds then it shuts down [18:11] MarGul: Then it isnt broken, but the software trying to use it has problems somehow. [18:11] It just happened all of a sudden with skype. Should I maybe try and reinstall it? [18:12] or try another software then cheese or skype maybe to see if its a software issue [18:13] how can I get 3d acceleration with an ATI 690G? [18:14] cheese is buggy with my cam too [18:14] dunno bout skype havent really tested [18:15] ldapsearch works, but logging in as user spits out a ton of "nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable" [18:15] I thought I picked Ubuntu for my lab computers because it was a simpler setup than Gentoo. Reevaluating. :P [18:16] hi all. I'm on windows and i'm just setting up a connection to my work ubuntu 13.10 machine. What's the best way to get a good (preferably multi screen) remote desktop experience. Is it still freenx? [18:16] Is anyone here using nvidia's binary drivers with xinerama? [18:17] ph8: have you considered running an X server on windows and using x forwarding with ssh? [18:17] is there any way to partition a single raid set in the installer to run / /boot and swap on it in the ubuntu installer? Im trying this in debian and it only lets me have one partition per raid set [18:17] freenx is probably going to be faster though [18:17] it's not a bad idea but ideally i want to assume the session that is currently active on the machine (which i locked before i left the office) ryan-c [18:18] gswain: what raid level? [18:18] raid 1 [18:18] gswain: I've done /boot on a RAID1, but it's been a while. [18:18] ah ok [18:19] gswain: getting grub to install on both MBRs and handle one of the disks failing is tricky - make sure you test your config. [18:19] gswain: also, you need to use a raid metadata format that puts the superblock at the end of the partition. === hholtmann_ is now known as hholtmann [18:19] one sec, let me look up which one that was [18:20] kk [18:20] need help so much "[drm:i915_set_reset_status] *ERROR* render ring hung inside bo" [18:20] gswain: you need metadata=1.0, the default, 1.2 may not work. === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [18:21] Is Lubuntu configured to do power saving by default which can make it inaccessible via ssh? [18:21] er [18:21] i phrased that unclearly === timo is now known as Guest25171 [18:21] use metadata=1.0 - the default is 1.2 which may not work. [18:21] I'm getting timeouts from a remote computer which should be turned on with Lubuntu. [18:22] (no, I can't check right now) === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [18:23] T4b: on a laptop yes but I don't think it's enabled by default on a desktop [18:23] T4b: even then, as long as the laptop doesn't shut it should respond [18:23] gswain: Also, I seem to recall that setting the metadata version cannot be done from the installer interface - I think hit alt-f1 from the expert/text installer and re-created manually with mdadm. [18:23] But strangely it answers to pings. Is it possible the router answers those? It is configured to give it's external IP to that computer, but I don't trust it do behave like it should, it's a piece of shit from the network provider. [18:24] (background: I'm trying to ssh into a computer (not laptop) over the internet. It sits behind a router) [18:24] wc [18:24] T4b: without getting on the computer there is no way to tell which one is responding === Guest2985 is now known as sysmon [18:25] T4b: in other words, you'll have to physically look at it :P [18:25] and looping back to your original question, yes, you can convert a non-raid /boot to raid1, I'd recommend leaving some space between the partitions if you're going to do that (or put in a 16MB 'dummy' partition). === bfiller_afk is now known as bfiller [18:26] I may have accidentally deleted some packages in ubuntu and now my notifications look like this: http://i.imgur.com/c4lEZmy.png - what should I do/install?

[18:29] lshw -C video returns product: Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [18:30] ph8: I don't think freenx will let you do that - i think you're stuck with vnc in that case. [18:30] "nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable" [18:30] oh dear :( [18:30] i guess i'd settle for a parallel session [18:30] But confs are ok and ldapsearch works fine. [18:30] but grudingly *g* [18:31] any thoughts anyone?

My advice is go to the web sites and check which community is active, so the project. === jackson is now known as Guest23530 [18:43] levo: chmod -R 755 bin === anonymous is now known as Guest79483 === gnu is now known as Guest19402 [18:43] levo: yeah command prompt should work you'll be root [18:44] anonymous gun shipments in [18:44] levo: boot and choose (advanced) from menu, then command prompt - know it ? [18:44] I have servers that cannot talk to key servers to get repository GPG keys, so I'm wondering if I can add the GPG to a mirror of the repo in a manner that apt-get will see and retreive? [18:44] levo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [18:45] studentz: thanks for your extra efforts [18:45] anyone else running ubuntu on current generation of hp desktop's? [18:45] i ll look into it [18:45] this is for my system3 daily driver - http://tinyurl.com/standingatwork2014 (the system to the far right is the one having this i915 issues....) === Guest79483 is now known as CMAnonymous [18:46] [drm:i915_context_is_banned] *ERROR* context hanging too fast, declaring banned!

[18:48] anyone else here using intel video? [18:48] oh i am [18:49] an old one [18:49] !anyone | donofrio [18:49] damn it ubottu [18:49] Problem with nvidia 650M: ubuntu 13.1,bumblebee 3.21,and nvidia 331 driver. The unity launcher hides, but a shadow persist in the launcher area. That area interfere with other apps. Any advice ? Thanks [18:50] rymate1234, is it xeon labled? part of the "Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller" video chipset (onboard video I'm guessing - its a work desktop) [18:51] hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to use ndiswrapper on a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 install with no access to the network? [18:51] I mean I could go back to 12.04 or something like that but in past these issue if uncorrected return once I update enough [18:51] hahuang65: can you not plug in wired just to set it up? [18:51] hi guyz , i need or opinion on something .... if i build midi controller boards to sell do i need to buy iso licences or something to sell around ? [18:51] hahuang65: ndiswrapper should be avoided as much as possible [18:51] yorwos: that doesn't sound like it has anything to do with ubuntu whatsoever [18:52] hahuang65, I agree ndis layer was only used 10 years ago to fake your network card driver [18:52] daftykins: there's no choice. I cannot access a wire from this room, it's wifi adapter only :\ so I'd have to install ndiswrapper at some point anyway [18:52] hahuang65, no need for it now-a -days [18:52] yea i know dafty didnt know where to ask thought this is my best shot for now :D [18:52] donofrio: fricking Netgear A6200 wifi adapter is apparently not supported. [18:52] hahuang65, move the host or get a longer wire [18:52] donofrio: that's not an option. [18:52] hahuang65: what chipset does that use? [18:53] i do have another one question thats ubuntu related though [18:53] daftykins: chipset of the machine? [18:53] hahuang65, hu? server, huge desktop that is so heavy it cannot be moved? no access to 50ft cat5 cable? [18:53] what is the function of layer.com site? [18:53] hahuang65: no the wireless device :) [18:53] We're doing a Juju Charm school at the top of the hour, The topic is Juju Plugins: http://ubuntuonair.com, we'll be taking questions in #juju [18:53] donofrio, no [18:53] sorru [18:53] sorry === Guest23530 is now known as Noskcaj_ [18:54] donofrio: i can get a 50ft cat5 cable and lay it from the 2nd floor down to the basement. but I would be dead cuz the gf would kill me. [18:54] daftykins: not sure, how do I check [18:54] hahuang65, it's only temporary till you get the updated files or etc... [18:54] hahuang65: if it's USB, 'lsusb', if it's PCI/PCI-E, 'lspci' [18:54] daftykins: oh yeah, I saw that in lsusb [18:54] donofrio: what do the updated files do for me? [18:55] donofrio: I thought there just wasn't driver support.... hold on, lemme get the info for daftykins [18:55] hahuang65: there's no need to stretch a cable to where you want to use this thing, just use it beside your router and set it up once, then you can move it where you want [18:55] hahuang65, no idea "just suggesting" hardline is best for driver updates when wifi is not working [18:55] hahuang65: Drop it down an air duct. [18:55] daftykins, agreed [18:56] anyways anyone use the intel video chipsets daily on 14.04? [18:56] daftykins: bah, I'm not at that computer now. I'm at work but I thought I had the info pasted somewhere. I guess not. [18:57] !14.04 | donofrio [18:57] donofrio: Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) will be the 20th release of Ubuntu. See the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295 for more info. support in #ubuntu+1 [18:57] i installed home var and tmp in different partitions, supposing i want a fresh install but keep my old home folder , whats the easier method ? install in 1 partition and then somehow make it see old home instead or copy all files from old home to new ? [18:57] donofrio: daftykins: in any case, I was searching around for support of this adapter online and everyone seems to say there's no linux support and ndiswrapper is the way to go... some of these were dated around october 2013 so fairly recent. [18:58] donofrio: have you got your exact processor model # from /proc/cpuinfo? i was looking it up for fun on http://ark.intel.com/products/series/75143 [18:58] im mostly interested on my desktop's panels preferences and shortcuts [18:58] all the rest from home i dont really need [18:58] daftykins, I can provide anything you ask for standing next to the desktop now (-: [18:58] daftykins: I actually got ndiswrapper from sourceforge and got the driver to install, and it seemed to think the device was present, but I couldn't access the device or anything to turn it on. [18:58] daftykins: like this: [18:58] bcmwlhigh6: driver installed [18:58] device (0846:xxxx) present. [18:58] that's the exact driver in fact [18:59] ./who *.gr :) [18:59] daftykins, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz [18:59] donofrio: 0o that's not a xeon at all - heh [19:00] 4greek users in ubuntu mirc servers nice :D [19:00] :/ [19:00] !gr [19:00] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [19:01] hahuang65: if you got that far and that's a legitimate approach, it could be you needed to play with network-manager to get it to handle the wireless connection next. alternatively, you could at least try to see if the driver was working by trying to scan for wireless networks with "iwlist " [19:01] oh thats cool ! thanx guyz i only used /who command so far :D [19:01] hahuang65: but as you say you're not with the system now so it's perhaps pretty fruitless to carry on discussing for now :) [19:01] daftykins, it was just label they stamped on the chipset I'm guessing hence why lshw -c returns "description: VGA compatible controller product: Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller" [19:01] does anyone know how to grep multiple patterns? I've tried && but the shell seems to interpret it as a separate command [19:02] daftykins: lol yeah probably. I did notice that there WAS no wireless interface however, even though ndiswrapper reported that the device was present and that it had installed the driver successfully. [19:02] donofrio: mmm, i take it you're using the on-die graphics so i doubt there are many options with driver choice. however as mentioned until it's released trusty support will be in the other channel! [19:02] daftykins: i'll try later tonight and check back in this channel i guess? Is there a more appropriate channel to go to? [19:02] hahuang65: some drivers are odd and give them funny names like eth1 or even more obscure, you'd have to check with 'ifconfig -a' [19:03] k guess I'm going to another channel (-: see you there [19:03] hahuang65: nah here'd be your best bet for ubuntu wireless support [19:03] mmiller13: grep pattern1|grep pattern2 for AND, grep -e pattern1 -e pattern2 for OR [19:04] that seems too redundant to pipe twice, I've used double ampersand before, just cant remember how [19:05] mmiller13: double ampersand means "run command right of && only if the one left succeeds" [19:05] Problem with nvidia 650M: ubuntu 13.1,bumblebee 3.21,and nvidia 331 driver. The unity launcher hides, but a shadow persist in the launcher area. That area interfere with other apps. Any advice ? Thanks [19:05] daftykins: apprecaite it man [19:06] so what u think of my partition question reinstalling and keeping old home ? ill rephrase [19:07] daftykins, - wow that other channel is quite for 221 people in the room [19:07] studentz: wait for 14.04 or play with nvidia-prime [19:07] studentz: or experiment with different nvidia drivers... your choice! [19:08] donofrio: what are you actually experiencing? === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [19:08] i got 6 partitions , boot / var tmp swap home . if i want fresh install and keep old home is it easier to install /+home in same partition and then make ubuntu see old partition as home , or do backup and overwrite from old home on a freshly installed one (in its own partition)? [19:08] no video for 5 min then it starts working but way slow like 486 slow....it's still slow but 'u s a b l e' [19:09] yorwos: just tell the installer to use your old home-partition for new home again [19:09] will it keep my panel preferences and shortcuts this way ? [19:10] yorwos: if the settings were stored in $HOME (which is default), sure [19:10] donofrio: i guess hunt for bugs or wait for a fix :( [19:10] so basically i just format all partitions same mount points except i dont format home and im set , yes ? [19:11] daftykins: If I do regression of nvidia driver the bbswitch doesn't work and the pc is overheated with the fan full work. Noveau still sucks. [19:11] yorwos: yes, select the partition and set new mountpoint to /home [19:11] u rock my friend thanx :) [19:11] studentz: well, nouveau is unlikely to work with nvidia optimus setups. i gave you several options, give another a go [19:12] yorwos: just check twice that the partition will not be formatted [19:12] hi === S-USA is now known as SonikkuAmerica [19:14] daftykins: if I stop unity there is not problem. (I use CSS manager to do that). I like unity. I guess the problem is more unity related [19:21] Hi, my Ubuntu 13.04 doesn't pick up my external harddrives [19:21] they work on any other computer except mine with Ubuntu [19:23] Narwhaal, which partition do you use in your external HD? [19:25] studentz, there's only one partition, but FS is NTFS [19:25] I can manually mount with: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/g4 [19:25] but it doesn't automount [19:25] what's an good way to test if/how my mic is working? [19:25] * [19:25] *a [19:27] slikts: arecord [19:27] slikts: skype [19:27] that or audacity [19:27] brothersome: how is skype good? lol [19:27] so how would I get the older kernel loaded on newer build (they recommended -19 and I'm -22) [19:27] Skype let you record and playback [19:28] brothersome: in a most cumbersome way by calling the echo user [19:28] yes, slikts [19:29] Narwhaal: sudo umount /media/g4 ? [19:29] my xonar dx mic input is absolutely unusable, there's only 1 channel and it's very quiet even with 150% boost === root is now known as Guest47853 [19:29] studentz, nonono [19:30] when I plug the hdd in, it's not auto-mounted [19:30] but I can manually make a folder and mount the harddrive onto that folder, which is then usable by the system [19:30] when I say not auto-mounted, I mean not even after 30 minutes [19:31] Narwaal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions you can try fstab [19:32] Narwhaal: That function is usually handled by the Desktop Env., ie gnome or unity. There's often a system setting that turns it on or off. [19:32] That page is probably more about perminssions and ownership. [19:34] how I can clear terminal? history -c is not working [19:34] I added my cifs shared into /etc/fstab but they don't get mounted after a reboot :( [19:35] I have to run "mount -a" manually as root to get it to work [19:35] -shared +shares [19:36] lvfjf: To clear the screen? === mnepton is now known as mneptok [19:37] lvfjf: rm ~/.bash_history [19:37] LordDeath: you might try adding the _netdev option, although as CIFS they should be assumed by the sytem to be netdev. Probably systemd's fault. [19:37] rm ~./bash_history sorry [19:38] studentz: First one was correct. [19:38] studentz: ./ is current directory. [19:38] jhutchins: mybad [19:38] Trying to make up for my own boneheaded mistake earlier. [19:39] jhutchins: thanks, I will try that [19:42] hi! is there any ubuntu-repository with apache-httpd > 2.2.22? [19:43] Hi. Is there a channel for 14.04 yet? [19:43] bolD: yup [19:43] jcabb: #ubuntu+1 [19:43] jcabb: /msg alis list *ub*14* [19:43] ty [19:43] jcabb: #ubuntu+1 [19:46] u [19:46] reisio> could you assist? where is it? [19:47] bolD: ? [19:47] bolD: 13.10+ [19:47] which is latest stable and higher [19:47] oh.. sry [19:47] i am using 12.04 [19:48] will wait 14.04 LTS :) [19:49] bolD: that's a silly thing to do :) [19:49] ... why? [19:49] why? [19:50] If I have the latest ubuntu on my system76 laptop (everything works great, it's configured how I want, etc etc). I just got a thinkpad x1, I want to put Ubuntu on this also. Though I want all my settings to be the same as they are on the system76 laptop. [19:50] why is waiting for no particular reason silly? [19:50] it's just idle and absurd [19:50] Hey i am looking to possibly get some help installing ubuntu 12.04 LTS server on a rack server on a network anyone think they could help? [19:50] Basically I want the equivalent of the apple time machine, but for ubuntu [19:50] unstable: likely you can copy the entire filesystem wholesale over [19:50] reisio: because 12.04 to 14.04 is a supported direct upgrade, and upgrading 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 is a pain in the backside [19:50] So I don't spend any time doing setup/config on a new laptop [19:51] unstable: with rsync, over your network, ideally [19:51] reisio: Is there a prettier way to do it? [19:51] cos i am using ubuntu on the server, and I dont want to install any other branches except LTS. 13.04 releases 17/04/2014 as I can remember [19:51] ok so I am reinstalling that 14.04 box back to 12.04 the I'll upgrade it to 13.04 and leave it I'm guessing [19:51] bolD: correct, assuming you meant 14.04 :) [19:51] yep, sry:) [19:52] bolD: and yeah, I'd stick with 12.04 for now and do an LTS to LTS upgrade at the end of April [19:52] rww: if upgrading your distro is a pain in the backside, you need a new distro [19:52] in the middle of April) [19:52] jhutchins: here is a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2131380 [19:52] unstable: prettier than rsync -ap foo bar ? [19:52] unstable: I think not [19:52] * rww rolls eyes [19:53] just like mentioned there my fstab worked in Debian [19:53] but not in Ubuntu [19:53] unstable: you could use grsync if you want, but it'll only make it harder [19:53] rww: uhuh [19:53] donofrio: 13.04 is end of life and doesn't exist as a supported version anymnore [19:53] reisio, it's not a pain just don't like it when kernel is "too new" my video ring errors show up....going back cause they say -19 is much more stable [19:53] same problem [19:54] there are only so many solutions for dealing with a distro that doesn't have decent QA [19:54] I thought TLS was seven years support... [19:54] reisio: eh, I'm not confident rsync is a good idea [19:54] donofrio: five, actually. and 13.04 isn't an LTS. [19:54] The hardware is different. So it will be using different drivers, and other things. copying it over whole sale seems worrying [19:54] donofrio: LTS is 5, but 13.04 isn't an LTS [19:55] oh so stay 12.04 till 14 is released ok I can do that.... [19:55] yep [19:56] mmiller13: to [19:56] how do I skip these language packs....arrgh (-; [19:56] donofrio: it depends on what you need, 12.04 is stable but doesn't have as many updates, 13.10 is somewhat stable but a ton faster with many updates [19:56] .10 is always updated guessing 04's are tls's [19:56] donofrio: no not all 04's are LTS [19:57] donofrio: it's generally .04 in even-numbered years [19:57] but 14.04 are, or will be I guess. and 14.10 will be more experimental I guess [19:58] fwiw the photo of my setup is here http://tinyurl.com/standingatwork2014 4 days from standing for a year now... [19:58] What is the cleanest way to change the default GRUB boot option?

[20:00] hydruid1, yes I do, and when the 14th comes around it will be standing one year @home office as well [20:00] standing as I chat you guys currently fwiw [20:00] donofrio: why?

Yes, you can take a flavor of Ubuntu and use it as a base to create your own version/distribution. There were a few, though no longer maintained, popular versions created to solve an issue. One was a version with a hardened firewall and strict webfiltering aimed at children and/or churches. [22:01] jeffrey_f: I've had no problems to access it before, this happened today, out of nowhere.

[23:10] kostkon: no [23:10] koston, in my user account settings it already says automatic login is off [23:11] ok ty bazhang [23:11] it says automatic login is off, but it autologins anyway [23:12] kostkon: Pastebin of Xorg: http://pastebin.com/4cbtU9Uu [23:12] After the 3rd reboot mouse stopped too. [23:13] Drenferalis, actually, you would need to post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and not that of xorg.conf [23:13] Ill grab it [23:15] Drenferalis, you could try this, if have guessed right, you are using gnome classic/fallback http://askubuntu.com/questions/177226/duplicated-menu-panel-indicators-and-taskbar [23:15] I* [23:17] Geo: you're probably going to make mdadm freak out if the member partition sizes suddenly increase [23:18] Trying to remove windows 8 and install Ubuntu; Ubuntu installer and gparted both seem to think that the windows 8 partition is the "currently mounted /cdrom". Already disabled "secure boot". Ideas? [23:19] whoever suggested UbuntuGnome 13.10, thanks, great distro [23:20] Geo: typically I would remove each disk one-by-one, then re-add; then grow using --size= [23:20] an operation like that could take days [23:20] yark, can you show your evidence of this? [23:20] kostkon: [23:21] I'm going to try to unmount this cdrom thing. [23:21] No mouse is hurting [23:21] yark, So you are aware that even with W8 gone you still have a gpt partition table? [23:22] Beldar: w8 is not gone. [23:22] I'm on hte live cd. [23:22] sudo umount -f /dev/sda4 === spjt_ is now known as spjt [23:22] umount2: device or resource busy [23:22] yark, Yes, but that's the end goal I believe. Just making sure you have looked close at what your doing. [23:23] Right yes I want all the shit currently onthe system gone. [23:23] I try to install awesome on xubuntu, but have some problem, and on lubuntu too, when install xmonad it work most correctly, any ideas who from that both better for ubuntu? [23:23] kostkon: Getting connection closed when trying to use dconf [23:23] gparted tells me /dev/sda4 is mounted at cdrom as WIndows8_OS [23:23] But it's rather distinctly not my cdrom. [23:24] yark, Right this is a no cursing channel, best of luck. [23:24] Drenferalis, try pressing ctrl+alt+t to open the terminal, alt+tab to switch between open windows and the tab key in your browser to select the active tab or edit the address bar etc [23:24] lol okay [23:24] Drenferalis, which command are you trying [23:25] kostkon: dconf-editor and dconf reset -f [23:27] Drenferalis, what's the output of echo $DESKTOP_SESSION and lsb_release -r [23:27] \list [23:27] :-$ [23:29] Desktop session was default, lsb_release -r was "CUSTOM" [23:30] Is there a page somewhere that explains what the options for synclient do? [23:31] Drenferalis, hmm, what if you give lsb_release -a [23:31] xar-: but dont I have to partition something differently? or can mdadm handle the repartitioning [23:32] kostkon: Distrubitor ID: Debian [23:32] Drenferalis, ok [23:32] nm i found it, harder than it should be to find... [23:33] Drenferalis, the thing is that we only support ubuntu here [23:33] Well, thanks for trying to help [23:33] #debian for debian support Drenferalis [23:33] Drenferalis, np [23:36] Does ubuntu have a server f [23:36] For downloading torrent files for bittorrent [23:37] hi [23:37] transmission, deluge, rtorrent, ktorrent monkwitdafunk [23:37] Server for hosting torrent files [23:37] or did you mean ubuntu torrents [23:37] aircrack-ng [23:38] ?
