[00:47] wjtaylor, the jdk [00:47] xar-, thanks [00:47] let me ask this then- different question, but related [00:48] How can I extend a partition w/o losing data? I can't do that with fdisk, right? === delphi is now known as Guest19474 [01:02] Alright. I'm having some quite large problems on my dedicated server. It wants to crash after running for a minute, (running in recovery mode, then root shell works fine) then it wants to do this: http://i.imgur.com/gvM7hd7.png [01:02] It did it while it was running before, and made the HDD read-only [01:06] Liam-: If running in recovery mode, the drives are mounted Read Only - one cn alter this, however. [01:07] cn/can [01:10] What tool can I use to expand a partition to fill the remainder of the disk, without losing data? Is it possible to use fdisk? [01:16] Geo: It is my understnsing that anytime a partiton is manipulaed there is always that chance of "loss of data" . [01:23] Bashing-om, chance of, sure, but there are some methods that are flat out 'this will blow away your data' [01:24] I think by deleting a partition with fdisk, you lose it all [01:28] you can use a tool like testdisk (available on most diagnostics livecds) to recover the partition table [01:34] test === mulletman is now known as Guest3308 === whoever is now known as Guest81098 [01:44] Geo: The suggested tool for partitoning is GParted, available on the liveDVD/USB. Though I am sure "fdisk" will do the job, I have always used GParted. === rzaar is now known as peterdonner [01:51] Thorium220: last time now: please dont use away nickchanges in here. thanks <-- it's a setting in my friend's bouncer for the entire freenode network (of which I'm in quite a few channels), not just here; I can't change it for a single channel. [01:54] i need the help of a webmaster expert: if i'm blocked on a website will i ever get an error message or it will keep trying to connect forever and the browser's icon continue looping? i know the site is up (connected trough... you know) [01:54] i mean, my ip could be blocked [01:54] HappyNewYear13, http://www.isup.me/ [01:55] HappyNewYear13: how is that anything to do with ubuntu? [01:55] IdleOne, i don't know where else to ask, and you guys know so much [01:56] kostkon, i did that, and as i said, i know the site is up [01:56] it's a very simple question [01:56] well then your IP is probably banned. nothing we can do to help with that [01:56] IdleOne, but i don't get any error message [01:56] hola [01:56] it just keeps looping [01:57] HappyNewYear13: you might not get one. depends how the site is setup [01:58] IdleOne, i still can access it through hidemyass [01:58] IdleOne, BUT i feel discriminated [01:58] ... [01:58] right, so this has nothing to do with Ubuntu [01:58] i'm using ubuntu now [01:58] so it's related [01:58] no it isn't [01:59] it says ubuntu 12.04 [01:59] it isn't a problem with ubuntu if your IP is blocked [01:59] HappyNewYear13: You're using elecricity as well, may want to ask i #electronics [01:59] i cant upgrade because it demands highier HW [01:59] Geo, that was plan B [01:59] HappyNewYear13: Do you have a specific Ubuntu support related question, or you just here to waste time? [02:00] IdleOne, why so serious? i was expecting to find a webmaster who uses an Ubuntu server [02:01] HappyNewYear13: because the problem you described has nothing to do with Ubuntu. If you just want to chat you can try #ubuntu-offtopic [02:01] i don't want to chat, do you want to chat? IdleOne === varunendra is now known as Guest11623 [02:04] So I googled 'what is my IP' and got my IP address (we'll say 123.45.678.91). Then I typed 'sudo ufw allow from 123.45.678.91' yet my IP is still blocked. Any tips? [02:07] Guegs: blocked, but where? [02:08] Well, all ports that I have blocked from all IP's aside from ones in my whitelist. Two seconds and I can get you an (edited) ufw status verbose output. [02:10] http://pastebin.com/e4emWWQp [02:10] is the ufw verbose output [02:14] Guegs: not sure what rule overwrites which one, 1 nmap box from 207..... ip to see results, flush port 22 rule, and nmap again [02:14] O hai [02:14] Just wondering, how can I set a (javascript) page as a screen saver?

The bash script works, ok, but not awesome well. I was wondering if there are any better solutions out there, which are not super difficult to configure and work from the command line. [02:16] Cool. Thank qin. I'll take a look at that. [02:17] i run 12.04 LTS btw === ko_lo is now known as Guest78064 [02:17] kLOs, rsync. :-D [02:18] type man rsync for more info. [02:18] Guegs: yes, but then i can also stick with my bash script :) I would like something with some features, like automatic deletion of old backups. e-mail confirmation on fialed uploads etc... [02:18] a proper backup application like timemachine [02:32] Hi, i tried to develop small application using qt4-qmake... installed it before and worked fine. But i dont know what i did, if i tried now, it shows following error If i enter qmake, it shows "uic: Error in line 1, column 0 : Premature end of document" [02:33] anyon can help me? [02:33] anyone can help me? [02:38] qin, I have figured it out. Rules that are higher on the list take precedence over rules that are lower. If you ever get the same question in the future. :-) [02:39] Guegs: Thanks, nice one. [02:40] Is anybody allowed to edit documents on the help.ubuntu site? The higher numbered rules taking precedence isn't documented in the UFW section. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW#Working_with_numbered_rules [02:47] Guegs: scan for "order", and look at notes section: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/en/man8/ufw.8.html [02:48] Cool. Didn't know about the 'manpages' site. Thanks again qin. Really appreciate it. [03:05] here's a question. are modules somehow tied to the kernel version? i had the wl wifi module working but updated the kernel and when i do modprobe wl on the new one it can't find it, but it can on the older one [03:07] xbr568: Some are. [03:07] xbr568: That's why DKMS exists. [03:07] !dkms | xbr568 [03:07] xbr568: DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [03:08] this room is full of clones [03:08] xbr568, check with dkms status [03:12] hi [03:12] what is the most secure and fastest browser to run on ubuntu 12.04? [03:13] and what is the difference between google chrome and chromium? [03:15] google is closed source and more secure [03:16] k-rad, but I've been told that open source is more secure than closed source [03:17] open source means that the code is available with the exception of something left back. if you can compile it from git its open source [03:19] k-rad, so do people choose google chrome on linux for its security? [03:20] kostkon: what do you mean by dkms status? [03:20] xbr568, that command to find out if wl has been rebuild for your latest kernel [03:22] trevor-preston: chrome and chromium are very similar and security fixes get crossported between the two. I use chromium because it's in the repo and I'm lazy [03:22] and people will fight endlessly about browsers [03:22] "what is the best browser" will basically get you nothing except religious viewpoints [03:23] that said, chrome[ium] is clearly superior to all others [03:23] O_O [03:23] that's can be true yes [03:24] that* [03:24] kostkon: what is the command? i don't see it on that page [03:24] xbr568, dkms status [03:24] it says broadcom-sta added [03:26] Weg: Currently, I have mainly 4 browsers (chrome, chromium, firefox and opera ), and I'm using FF :) [03:28] not sure what i'm supposed to do with dkms to solve my issue === codethough is now known as codethought [03:38] the module works in the older kernel but not this newer one [03:42] why i can not join the #metasploit channel? === guang is now known as sdan [03:44] On Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu Software Center crashed, likely because RAM usage. I did a reboot, and when trying to install via apt-get, it tells me to fix it with dpkg -configure -a. I run that command and it tells me "unknown option -o" [03:45] I didn't add -o.. Doesn't adding \ before the command make it ignore aliases and stuff? Tried that too thinking maybe there was a wrapper adding -o to it. but no-go [03:46] Hello All [03:48] Anyone know the dpkg issue? [03:48] :> [03:48] Liam-: Nope [03:51] I am using ubuntu 14.04 beta 2. Whenever I do a software update, I get the message that a "partial upgrade" is available. Have other people reported the same thing? === Jan11 is now known as ON1 [03:59] rockosays: We don't know, try #ubuntu+1 === jack is now known as Guest16832 [04:07] i have an apache server with (1) ip address and am trying to host multiple websites and route different domain names to their respective folders using virtualhosts but when i set them up everything just goes to the documentroot of the ip address instead of what's specified in the virtualhosts entry. what's wrong? [04:12] fyfan: Is multiple host support enabled? (NameVirtualHost *) [04:14] Is there a minimum number of characters required for a username on an Ubuntu system? [04:18] Andorin: 1 I would guess. === tetrinet is now known as drslum [04:30] Well I fixed the problem. dpkg in Ubuntu 14.04, tells me to run "dpkg -configure -a" and not "dpkg --configure -a" [04:30] i have an apache server with (1) ip address and am trying to host multiple websites and route different domain names to their respective folders using virtualhosts but when i set them up everything just goes to the documentroot of the ip address instead of what's specified in the virtualhosts entry. what's wrong? [04:30] fyfan: did you enable the sites? [04:32] how so? i've created the virtualhost entries uncommented in the httpd.conf [04:32] fyfan: sudo a2enmod mynewsite.conf [04:32] no...a2ensite. sorry [04:32] fyfan: you've used httpd.conf and not created them in /etc/apache2/sites-available? [04:34] anyone here use teamviewer? [04:34] using amazon linux. there isn't an /etc/apache2 directory but there is a /etc/httpd directory [04:35] no sites-available file [04:35] fyfan: so you're not using ubuntu? This is the ubuntu support channel. You need to ask about this elsewhere [04:35] you have to be kidding me. This is some kind of nightmare. You released some updates that block all soundcards? [04:35] well technically i'm not asking about linux, i'm asking about apache [04:35] fyfan: join #apache, or maybe ##apache, then. Try !alis [04:36] #httpd fyfan [04:36] ugh i have to be registered to even talk in those channels [04:36] too complicated [04:36] fyfan: best to just give up then, eh? [04:36] is that what you do? [04:36] murder is what I was thinking [04:41] The topic is you chopped off the sound [04:42] what is the ubuntu 14.04 channel? [04:43] donofrio_: #ubuntu+1 [04:43] I don't want to interfere with other questions. The loss of sound is devastating to me at this particular moment. [04:43] oh I tried -1 thanks [04:43] donofrio_: what would be 13.04 ;) [04:44] I might like to speak with just about anybody who can account for this madness this is making me just about ready to jump out the window. [04:45] !nosound | henryC [04:45] I am geting rusty [04:46] assalamu alaikum wr wb [04:46] I have been using ubuntu for years, and never come to an important moment and reached total silence. [04:46] what he said. he's pissed off too. [04:46] who? [04:46] hi [04:46] kikiohime, I can only assume, is sympathetic [04:48] nothing has changed on my system other than upgrading, but even after upgrade, it was working when I left the house six gd hours ago. [04:49] henryC, you need to relax and understand things break and need attention, this is why its normally called work and not play, unless it is play and then its a hobby [04:49] sorry i new in here [04:49] henryC, keep in context I have no idea of issue just saying [04:50] I'm sorry. It just couldn't have happened at a worse time. I googled and all I'm getting is "dummy output". I read 3 or 4 of the old articles about that to no avail. [04:50] sorry. I didn't mean to lose it but I lost it. [04:51] is in here , there are indonesian people ? [04:51] henryC, keep in mind computers do not care if we get heart attack... [04:51] kikiohime, #ubuntu-id [04:51] cool, I suicide and donate mine to first comer [04:52] ok thx bazgang :D [04:52] like that is going to help [04:52] so what is issue? [04:52] besides upgrade, something like checked dmesg and my sound card listed in lspci is not working [04:53] someone wanna poke the +1 group and wake em up (-: [04:55] ok. I'll try to calm down. My last chance to use the card is over for today anyway. I left the house 6 hours ago and it worked. I'm a web guy. When it comes to hardware drivers, and how an ubuntu update affected those, I'm lost. [04:56] ah the power of linux is you have the power [04:56] did [04:56] so what did you upgrade besides something 6hrs ago [04:57] !sound | henryC also pavucontrol [04:57] henryC also pavucontrol: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:57] how do I detect what exactly my last upgrade entailed? I've been upgraded maybe too often, guilty. [04:57] pavucontrol says everything is fine [04:57] system settings says nothing but dummy, no soundcard [04:58] soundcard how does apache use a soundcard? [04:58] I'm not using apache in any way. Even when I run webservers, I run nginx. That's neither here nor there. [04:58] henryC: oh, no hardware listed. [04:58] right [04:58] donofrio_: apache does not usualy [04:59] my thought just leveling the context [05:00] Is it possible to find what my last "sudo apt-get upgrade" library ruined my life? [05:00] henryC: would it be ok to scan logs for mentions of your card? Logs also hold info about all instals, /var/log/ [05:01] henryC, lspci returns what? [05:02] donofrio_: thx, I will try this. I am letting another upgrade happen now, in blind hope. then I will check lspci [05:04] henryC: /var/log/dpkg.log specifically. [05:05] which is the preferred pastebin for the lspci, and the dpkg.log? [05:07] some people are picky about that. here is the former: http://pastebin.com/AdgNQywr [05:08] the last 150 lines of the latter: http://pastebin.com/2bNJJSPX [05:10] cat /proc/asound/cards [05:10] shows my soundcard as per usual. [05:11] hi [05:11] anyone here use GPG? [05:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto pancaker [05:12] bazhang: are you bot [05:13] pancaker, not last I checked [05:13] bazhang: have you ever used it? [05:13] pancaker, yes [05:13] maybe the last kernel upgrade?? How can I debug this [05:14] bazhang: I got this program called GPA, and it says, send key to server, is this safe? the file asc, has my private and public [05:14] I guess I should reboot and try to go to grub or anybody have ideas? [05:14] will it just send public out of that file? [05:14] pancaker, I use seahorse for that [05:15] henryC, what version of ubuntu [05:15] bazhang: 14.04.... I've been running kubuntu 14.04 since alpha without prob. [05:15] bazhang: im scared [05:16] henryC, support for that is in #ubuntu+1 [05:16] bazhang: ok thanks, but so I should start over again there? [05:16] henryC, it would be wise, others in the beta might have same/similar issues [05:17] bazhang: that is reasonable. thanks. [05:18] Is it fair to ask for a password to the individual providing support to protect the pasted text of system data by the individual asking for support? If so, https://www.pastee.org/ is worth checking out, not only it uses https but it also encrypts pasted data with a password and it provides various TTL times. [05:19] unfortunately 1523 / 197 is nearly zero... [05:33] It only took me having a minor heart attack, and spending an hour, and your kind attempts to help, to find, that the new kernel is at fault. [05:34] I dunno who best to report this atrocity to. [05:34] henryC: Alpha trills. [05:35] thanks for bearing with me and sorry I was out of my head crazy but I get that way. [05:35] np [05:35] still, I would like to make the knowledge useful so that nobody else jumps off a roof. [05:35] file a bug then [05:36] and keep it in the proper channel please [05:36] henryC: launchpad is a place to report bugs [05:36] what's a good CNC controller? [05:36] any particular site to file a bug for a kubuntu pre-release? well see I'm sorry about that too. I don't know there's a specific place for kubuntu 14.04 pre-release. [05:36] #ubuntu+1 covers them all [05:36] ok thx [05:38] can i look up the a machine's hostname via a ip?the machine is in the ethernet with me. [05:39] sdan: nskooup, whois [05:39] on windows,i can type command "nbtstat -A ip" to lookup,but on linux,i can not [05:39] qin, the dns server does not know them.

Now I can view the system is there away to edit grub2 text file and engage nomodeset? [06:53] before installing fglrx-updates [06:55] KyouReeUs4nfo: How big will the difference be using proprietary AMD Catalyst 13.12 versus open Gallium 0.4 on AMD REDWOOD [06:55] ocooel: in /etc/default/grub edit 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT' and add nomodeset after quiet splash [06:56] ocooel: I couldn't tell you the difference because I don't use it [06:57] KyouReeUs4nfo: can I do it before installing fglrx-updates and are there any steps after it reboots and works..?

[07:14] For some reason or another, I cannot join #html. But can I ask questions here? [07:14] HomelessSanta: correct, not even one package [07:14] can anyone suggest to me what is best way to get catalyst 14.3 installed on my system with ubuntu 13.10 [07:14] tempadmin: talk to the admins of #html, or ask for generic irc help in #freenode channel [07:15] ikonia, I gotcha thanks. === Guest40894 is now known as haywire [07:15] See y'all.

[07:19] Gallomimia: are they packaged for your distro/release yes/no [07:19] i don't know. [07:19] find out hten [07:19] then [07:19] if you can't even look in the package manager how can you expect to "mess with your distro" [07:19] hey [07:19] i've attempted to dual boot windows xp with ubuntu [07:20] however i can no longer boot XP [07:20] all the files in the partition are intact, however when i select windows xp in grub i get a flashing _ [07:23] ikonia: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/fglrx-amdcccle the version does not seem to match [07:23] Gallomimia: then thats not your distro/version then [07:25] ? [07:26] it is my distro. what about saucy-updates ? why are there three separate categories for each distro? [07:26] Gallomimia: are you using saucy ? [07:26] Gallomimia: and is that package the version of the amd drivers you want ? [07:27] yes, no. [07:27] Gallomimia: then why are you looking at it - it's not the version you want [07:27] it's not even close. i'm lead to believe that's not even the same software [07:27] ok, so there you go then, that's not what you want [07:30] ？ [07:32] ikonia: i don't even know where to begin with what driver's running and what is available, let alone switching them. any recommendations for reading material? [07:33] Gallomimia: I recommend not doing it unlesss it's already packaged for your distro [07:33] i understand this isn't going to happen overnight, or even this month for me. i want to learn how to do this stuff. it's important to me [07:33] yes, then learn it [07:34] I'm advising you to learn that if it's not packaged for your distro - don't touch it [07:36] Stick with the package manager.(Why is that so hard?)

[07:46] the option is greyed out [07:46] HiMaX, open Additional Drivers and see if there is a driver available for your wifi to install [07:46] Dark_Hunter: Oh I see. [07:47] Dark_Hunter: May need to back up a step and then hit it again. [07:47] hmmm one moment [07:48] kostkon: i will check [07:48] Dark_Hunter: Is it wired or WiFi? [07:48] wired [07:49] Dark_Hunter: Was it hooked up from the start? (Or did you plug it in as an after-thought?) [07:49] did both [07:49] kostkon: it only show the Graphics driver i already installed, NO WIFI Drivers :( [07:49] HiMaX, ok [07:50] nothing helped on both times [07:50] HiMaX, in the terminal give lspci | grep -i network and paste it on paste.ubuntu.com [07:50] Dark_Hunter: What is the option called?

I'm using it to work on my school project, but if possible i would rather it start the home page when i go to localhost instead of showing "index of /" [07:57] Dark_Hunter: 32bit or 64bit? [07:57] decadence18: I sugest you read up on how apache works [07:57] decadence18: ask in #httpd [07:57] 64bit [07:57] okay, thank you [07:57] kostkon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7206665/ [07:58] how can to check if its 64bit?

[08:06] kostkon: what was wrong ?

[08:08] HiMaX, so it's working fine now? [08:08] Dark_Hunter: Boot the boot disk, chroot to the on-disk filesystem, do updates, repair bootloader. [08:09] Dark_Hunter: In situations like that, I just use a slackware install disk to boot the system, (it will automatically chroot for me). But you can do it manually. [08:09] odd something happened stand by [08:09] Dark_Hunter: Ok. [08:10] ok that issue no longer happens it seem something changed and that file is there [08:10] ok so the new issue is [08:10] Yes......? [08:10] how do i recover my windows booting?

Just the wifi light never coming on was troubling me. Aslong as i know the software works then the connection must work too :) [08:11] Dark_Hunter: Yea, you use grub to boot Windows, (as well as ubuntu). [08:11] HiMaX, yeah. it should [08:11] Dark_Hunter: Another thing you should do is check your ISO image to make sure it is good. md5sum [08:12] kostkon: thanks for the help :) [08:12] HiMaX, np [08:12] i no longer have the booting issue with kubuntu but its not detectiing windows === GuitarNut is now known as nurtz [08:12] Dark_Hunter: Not detecting ?

[08:45] KyouReeUs4nfo: yes so I could reboot and login with GUI [08:46] cfhowlett: Well, I did install both and tested myself. I noticed Unity is faster in General, however when doing some hard work gnome-shell tends to perform better when opening virtual machine for example.

[17:28] movedx: I setup a kickstart script yesterday :) [17:29] bekks: Kickstart would also be good. I started out with Kickstarting, but found limited assistance on some options. Do you have a copy of your KS file I can see? [17:29] When I tried to embed a swf file in libreoffice impress under linux dont work, but when I embed a swf in libreoffice impress under windows it works great. [17:30] movedx: Sure, it's not black magic :) [17:30] bekks: Indeed. I understand the concept, but just not why the 'auto url=...' options aren't working. [17:30] when I embed a swf file in Lo impress under linux it show a rectangular area in blue that dont work [17:30] huá [17:31] bekks: If I do 'ks=...' it triggers, but obviously a Preseed file isn't a KS file, so it bombs out, as expected. This verifies my networking and everything is fine. I just need this one last step hehe [17:31] bekks: I might have something actually. [17:32] hi, so I have a bit of a weird problem. I installed google hangouts for chromium, and now ubuntu seems to thing google hangouts is my default browser.

Trying a few things now. [17:38] Hello ! I have a simple question: I have put my ubuntu ISO in a usb and made it bootable using the tutorial in ubuntu.com , I can use ubuntu using the "run without installing" which works wonders, my question is; is it possible to have things that I work in there saved in the usb, without installing the OS ? I would love to have a portable OS in my usb, with my files and all that requieres no installation: Thanks a lot in adcvanc [17:39] how can I see gpu in use? [17:39] bekks: And NTP, too. Can't seem to disable NTP checks.

[17:41] c2tarun Thanks man, what ways are those? [17:41] movedx: Uhm. The country selection is only relevant for a preselection of the timezone and the locales. Both are defined in my kickstart script, and I dont get asked. All your further error make me think you are using a broken ISO for installing.

I have a HP wireless mouse and it worked fine up untill I tried to get my aiptek touchpad working.

[19:12] dioioib: OK then [19:13] dioiob, it's good as a chat client. It is sadly lacking as a browser.

[19:20] dioioib: Mouse doesn't work at all even after the uninstall of the one package [19:20] going to superstitiously restart router [19:21] so both your mouse and stylus do not work now? === evil is now known as Guest83145 [19:22] dioioib: No sylus still works I think linux is detecting it as a wamcom or whatever now. I didn't however delete the file that I made should I? [19:23] xentity1x: What? ./chromium-browser makes no sense if you don't tell us what directory you are in. Why "./" ? [19:23] can you give me a list of what is in /dev/input ok and could you do an lsusb for me too. It makes sense the stylus is working your xorg config only has the one device listed [19:23] qengho, /usr/bin/chromium-browser [19:23] xentity1x: why ./ ? [19:24] qengho, that runs it from the current directory [19:24] dioioib: Lots of stuff in dev/input/ event0 - event9 js0 and mice and mouse0 - mouse1 [19:24] ok good. one sec [19:24] xentity1x: Perhaps you do not know of "hash -r"? [19:24] and of course the by-id and by-path [19:25] qengho, i do not care to explain it? [19:26] dioioib: I have the lsusb as well and the mouse is not their. I'll pastebin the output for you [19:26] "help hash", or try it. You shell doesn't search path. It's the only reason I can think of you needed to specify the full path to chromium-browser program. [19:26] ^doesn't^doesn't always [19:26] tankerkiller125 can you add this to the end of your xorg.conf make sure to make a cp to xorg.bak first. http://pastebin.com/7UhsPRGk [19:28] dioioib: whats the path to get to the xorg.conf file? [19:28] good question. :) one sec.. I am on a mac right now [19:29] dioioib: OK becuase I have a folder called X11 and no xorg.conf file exist [19:29] I think it is /etc/x11 [19:29] yeah that is it [19:29] HI , I burned ubuntu iso in a CD , but when i boot from the bios , I got " messing operating system " , do i have to burn the iso image only or the content of the iso ??? [19:29] just sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.bak [19:30] dioioib: OK found it [19:30] ?? [19:31] kolan: did you run checksum [19:31] UH problem. sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.bak yields xorg.conf No such file or directory [19:31] sultanselephant ; sorry what is it ?? first time heard of it ?? [19:31] kolan: whatd you use to burn it? did you 'burn image to disc' [19:32] are you in /etc/x11 [19:32] type pwd [19:32] dioioib: yes I am I did it not and then cd /etc/X11 [19:33] and looking at the folder tells me its not their as well [19:33] humm. where did you find that other xorg.conf then. :| [19:33] try fine xorg.conf [19:33] find [19:33] or find / -name xorg.conf [19:33] That no such file or directory should I try reinstalling the xorg server? [19:34] sultanselephant ; can you show me the right way to install ubuntu using cd , i have already downloaded the iso , but i dontknow how ? [19:34] kolan: you on windows now? [19:34] yes [19:34] no you can run withtout an xorg.conf or we can rebuild it with your old post in paste bin and the new information I just gave you. [19:34] kolan: ill PM ya [19:35] Need sudo hold on [19:35] tankerkiller125 it could also be under /usr/lib/xorg [19:35] dioioib: when I did that it found nothing or at least didn't tell me [19:35] ok [19:36] if it isn't under /usr/lib/xorg just go into /etc/x11/ and type touch xorg.conf and paste your old paste bin info and my info in and reboot. [19:37] super user doo [19:37] dioioib: x11 folder has nothing and the xorg folder only contains protocol.txt and a folder called modules and I'll try that how do I delete a file using terminal? [19:38] delete lets not delete anything just yet [19:38] but to answer your question rm filename [19:39] and just to let you know it seems to me that each device as a diffrent conf file [19:39] Can I upgrade the ubuntu video driver before I install ubuntu, so I don't have to when I install? [19:40] is anyone here? [19:40] yes [19:40] ohai [19:40] hello [19:40] ok im new to ubuntu and i us 13.04 [19:40] what are its practical uses? [19:41] tankerkiller125 any lick on creating the file with sudo touch xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ ? [19:41] i use a 16gb flash drive to boot ad i am not on ubuntu right now because i cant get internet on it [19:41] sydneyJDykstra: why would you do that? [19:41] i guess you could in a custom install [19:41] Jtmcflea what system are you running it on? [19:41] what, boot from a drive? [19:41] oh i have this crappy laptop that runs windows xp [19:42] anyway im having trouble connecting to wireless from ubuntu 13.04 [19:42] Jtmcflea: its the wifi adapter it wont find right [19:42] anyway of plugging directly into the modem [19:42] Jtmcflea you might be able to use an older version which might include the drivers for your hardware or you could install the driver if it exists [19:43] nope, my modems in my garage and theres a wall seperating my computer from my garage [19:43] sultanselephant is right try ethernet jacks. [19:43] beckause, I have to use nomodeset to even load the cd. So I didn't know if i upgraded the driver before installing from the live cd,if I could get around doing it after installing. [19:43] well is there a way to like find avalible wifi connections? [19:43] sydneyJDykstra: atre you talking about upgrading [19:43] and not hav to manualy type the ssid [19:43] the os [19:43] no [19:43] 'upgraded the driver before installing the live cd' [19:43] i dont get it [19:44] sultanselephant: yes,I am talking about upgrading. [19:44] hang on gonna try somthing [19:44] dioioib: Yes I made the file I'm going to reboot soon just have one thing to take care of really quick [19:45] tankerkiller125 let me know how it goes. [19:47] dioioib: OK just rebooting now. At this point I'm kinda Happy that I've learned how to switch to using consol on demand [19:48] nice. yeah there is a lot to know. I could email you a getting started guide I made if you want [19:48] dioioib: No need I learn as I go thats how I learn if I make a mistake I make a mistake no big deal. This is my 5th mabey 6th time installing Ubuntu on this machine :P [19:49] tankerkiller125: thatta boy/girl [19:49] wipe ittt [19:49] dioioib: Still no luck [19:49] does the stylus still work? [19:49] sultanselephant: Or doesn't it apply when upgrading? [19:50] Yes [19:50] sydneyJDykstra: i dont fully understand why it is you are doing what youre doing gotta find someone else to help ya [19:50] how are you supposed to upgrade python to version 2.7.6 from version 2.7.5? [19:50] ok. lets look at that lsusb again. [19:50] sultanselephant: ok,Thanks!! :-D [19:50] I think I did it wrong by downloading it from the website [19:52] because it seems that after downloading, making, and running install.sh on python 2.7.6, PIL no longer works [19:52] ?? this is intresting still no mouse but now my camrea is detected as the Aiptek device and the tablet a waltop device. However after looking at the camrea agian it is indeed a aiptek device [19:52] sbluen: if you upgrade python, you'll have to reinstall all your python modules [19:53] do you remember me? [19:53] tankerkiller125 wow that is different. [19:53] hi guys just need a reminder of how to add an ip address once X interface is up [19:53] so lets say , when he-ipv6 is up [19:53] id like to do ip -6 addr add 2001:470:1d:586::cafe/64 dev eth0 [19:53] i just dont remember how:D [19:53] hey guys im back on my computer with a wired connection [19:53] dioioib: Yes it is which is wierd becuase the tablet says that its aiptek [19:54] dioioib: I will be back in a moment [19:54] tankerkiller125 ok [19:54] rcampbel3, pip doesn't seem to work because it says I already have them all. How to you remove and reinstall pip? [19:54] * rcampbel3 just installed Ubuntu 14.04 his mother-in-law's laptop who is not a computer person at all -- that has to mean something good about the state of Ubuntu :) [19:54] got it [19:54] Jtmcflea, Tell us where you are now, the help you need still. [19:56] <[Gentoo]> CryptoSiD: what do you mean when he-ipv6 is up? [19:56] sbluen: once you leave the safe confines of package management and build things from source... you can't really go back to package mgmt.

[20:00] <[Gentoo]> or 3 [20:00] kish: live with OSX for a while, and unity makes a bit more sense. Take a mac user and have them use unity and they'll get it. I agree though, it's disconcerting to a techie because it's abstracted away from what's really going on on the computer, what's installed, etc. [20:00] dioioib: OK I'm back what do you suggest we try now [20:00] the one people went back to when unity was forced upon them [20:00] take unity discussions to -offtopic [20:00] mang [20:01] no its just too slow!! [20:01] !notunity | kish_ [20:01] kish_: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default.

[20:03] yeah i want to purge [20:03] kish_: yeah what caused you to lose the gui you liked [20:03] <[Gentoo]> just either delete the partition, or install over the top using entire disk [20:03] Hi, i did a reinstall of ubuntu and it wiped windows 8, iw ould like to try an get windows back but my understanding is that i can't shink a lvm partition taking up the entire disk, And i dont know how to go about reinstalling confidently with this ufei Bios stuff. Any recommendations? [20:03] tankerkille125 I am back too [20:03] Zelgod: wiped windows 8 or the boot loader cant find it [20:03] thanks [20:04] Zelgod: oh [20:04] tankerkiller125 do you have that lsusb pastebin link yet? [20:04] i chose reinstall ubuntu cause i was have some grahpical issues and it removed the windows partition. [20:04] Mp3player [1 Fogo] CeBoLiNhA 2014 [20:04] <[Gentoo]> Zelgod: maybe you chose the entire drive [20:04] <[Gentoo]> to install to [20:05] sultanselephant windows 8 might need you to boot using uEFI booting. [20:05] hi guys, is there any way to allow several programs to access the webcam at once ? [20:05] i dont remember choosing the drive. i simply slected to reinstall ubuntu, [20:05] dioioib: Uh no I can't my stylus doesn't do right clicks for some reason :P [20:05] damn. [20:05] Zelgod: is your whole hd recognized sizewise [20:06] Zelgod, Can you boot to ubuntu, and run some commands for us? [20:06] JennyBlueBird: are you trolling again in chat roulette :( [20:06] Im in ubuntu now. [20:06] probably that xorg config I sent you needs adjusting.

[20:09] dioioib: Uh yah no go mouse still not working [20:09] Yet everything else works [20:09] Beldar, http://pastebin.com/gczauL3i [20:10] check the xorg.conf again and see what is there. if they didn't make it again then we are going to need to try that default mouse but maybe with mouse1 or something else.

[20:26] dioioib: Be back in a bit [20:27] yeah if you have time. just make sure all devices are plugged in [20:28] Zelgod, Yep, gpt, I would ask in ##windows about using the W7 OEM here, and how, if install is possible. It's better answered by them, in the end you want both, that is the best place to start, windows installed first. [20:28] Should have simply used virtualbox, and avoided this mess entirely.

I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and before that, in iwconfig, I'd get wlan0 as an option, but now all I see is eth0. Still able to connect to the internet obviously, but it's making some specialized tasks difficult. Any idea how to fix this? [20:32] Beldar, Resources are cloud saved. So it doesnt matter what happens so long as i dont brick the system and prefer to keep the efi in tact [20:32] ? [20:32] it makes me laugh greatly how laptops that are coming without optical drives now, still have programs that want to burn CDs or DVDs for backup [20:32] can anyone hear me?

[20:46] tankerkiller125 it might if you have all devices plugged in at the time of install. [20:47] OK well the only problem is that installing ubuntu on this machine is a major pain. I'll see if thiers anything else I can do first [20:47] MonkeyDust: yes that did the trick! thanks again :) [20:47] well the alternative is the xorg config. [20:47] hmmp great, glad i could help [20:47] it is a pain in the butt to setup but that is all you really need to do. [20:48] Is their away to completly remove the xorg system and then reinstall it? [20:48] find the device under /dev/ or /dev/input/ and add the proper config for that device [20:48] yes but you have to do that in terminal and you don't have gui for a bit. [20:49] I have only done it with gdm not unity though so I am not the right person to give you advice if you are using unity. [20:49] How to add scanner in kubuntu? [20:49] hola [20:49] ciao [20:50] hello [20:50] dioioib: just reset all of the settings? [20:51] hello... i am having trouble getting the display to work properly on my 32 inch polaroid hdtv, through hdmi, on my laptop with with ubuntu 13.10.... the display works fine if i use the vga cable and set it to 1024x768, but if i try to use the hdmi cable it does not properly fit the screen [20:52] well basically in the xorg config you need a device for each input device, and you can also setup more monitors if you want dual head. that is another pain all together. but I will post my full xorg conf so you can see what it looks like with a trackball and a wacom tablet. [20:52] Hi there. When using an external usb keyboard on a laptop, is there a way to deactivate the original laptop keyboard ? [20:53] tankerkiller125 just ignore all the extra ATi stuff I have 2 monitors setup. Or I did until I bought an nvida card. [20:53] http://pastebin.com/e9h7V7YB [20:54] dioioib, were you talking to me? [20:54] oo nvm [20:54] chaotix no tankerkiller125 [20:54] dioioib: I'm ok with not using a GUI I use a terminal for alot I don't use the software store or whatever it is at all [20:55] chaotix oddly enough your issue relates somewhat to my xorg config. you need to redirect your monitor output to the correct Identifier. [20:55] are you guys also talking about getting dual monitors working? [20:56] dioioib, can you tell me how i can redirect my monitor output? === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 [20:56] chaotix: No we are working on my mouse not working but it's in the same overall drivers [20:56] that xorg config is a dual head monitor setup with ati cards using xinerama and gnome. === anon is now known as sdafa [20:57] chaotix you need to edit your xorg.conf file under /dev/x11/xorg.conf and let me tell you it is a huge pain in the butt. if you are using a wacom tablet don't even bother with it. [20:57] no i am using an hp laptop, and a polaroid 32 inch hdtv [20:57] dioioib: Can we try a complete reinstall of Xorg? [20:58] why does vga work fine but if i try to do the same thing using hdmi it wont fit the screen right? [20:58] chaotix: Try changing the display settings [20:59] chaotix you will need to run hwinfo and find your PCI:#:#:# for the right port of the video card then create the devices in the xorg. But you need your drivers installed first and xinerama. you have to do it all from terminal as you will have no gui. [20:59] tankerkiller125 yeah I would say try a reinstall of the xorg before you do though install lynx web browser in terminal just in case you get stuck you can still search the web from terminal. [21:00] OK whats the package name? [21:00] Answer to myself: http://askubuntu.com/questions/160945/is-there-a-way-to-disable-a-laptops-internal-keyboard [21:01] simpleuser: google is wonderful, no? [21:02] dioioib, i found this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:02] tankerkiller125 try doing this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:02] daftykins: yeah ! [21:02] dioioib: I've tried that multiple times [21:02] dioioib, when i did sudo nano /dev/x11/corg.conf it says that it is a new file [21:02] yeah that was the page I used to set my xorg up. Just didn't remember where the link was. [21:02] i mean xorg [21:03] dioioib, ok [21:03] chaotix so you are running on default xorg config. [21:03] follow the link that tankerkiller125 just posted that will get you started on your setup. [21:04] dioioib: OK I have the lynx web browser how do I start the reinstall? Can you pastebin the instructions? [21:04] dioioib: And I never posted a link [21:04] yeah let me find a good link or paste bin it. [21:04] tankerkiller125: That was chaotix [21:04] oh it was chaotic that posted it. [21:04] dioioib: Yep LOL [21:05] yeah my head is in 3 different places right now. I am trying to write a driver or some hardware at the same time as doing this. :) [21:05] dioioib: And I don't thin your going to find a link becuase I've been searching for some time [21:05] tankerkiller125 are you running unity or gnome? [21:06] dioioib: Whatever is defualt I think unity... [21:06] ok.. [21:07] it seems I cant get my scanner detected and usable, I have installed sane/xsane/hplib and used following http://pastie.org/8997102 but seems like with no luck. Any help? [21:07] would these instructions work? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1605221 [21:08] tankerkiller125 here are the instructions http://pastebin.com/5A3mWAU6 remember that Ctrl + alt + f1 will dump you into terminal from the login screen [21:08] is there Neko for ubuntu :) ? [21:08] heyho, I'm having trouble logging in to postgresql :/ neither as root nor as postgres [21:08] yes those are the same ones I just posted. [21:08] dioioib: It will dump me into a terminal from anyscreen just to let you know [21:09] yes [21:09] The printer is detected though [21:09] ubuntu newbie looking to install php5 on terminal. But I want to install with dependencies. So, is it best to do $ "sudo aptitude php5-"? or $ "sudo apt-get install php5-"? [21:09] you might not need to do the reinstall of ubuntu-desktop [21:09] just try startx after and see if that works. [21:09] I'll try something [21:10] !info php5 [21:10] php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2.2 (saucy), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB [21:10] dioioib: it only removed 369kb of data when uninstalled but the install is 39. somthing MB [21:10] did you run the purge command? [21:11] d [21:11] d [21:11] Hi [21:11] Somebody here? [21:11] yes were are here [21:11] dioioib: Yes [21:11] ok. [21:12] run find \ -name xorg and see if anything pops up [21:13] sudo find / -name xorg [21:13] <[[a]> hello everyone, how to check if a file is encrypted in ubuntu ? (I have a file of 1GB and coulndt open it or extract it) [21:13] dioioib: it did /usr/include/xorg and a some more [21:14] Does some had this error in the booting ? [21:14] ata2.00 exception emask 0x0 sact 0x1 serr 0x0 action 0x0 [21:14] ok take a look at that dir and let me know if there are any .so or .ko files in there? [21:16] <[[a]> the file has no extension, it says octet/steam [21:16] dioioib: No just some with .h files [21:17] ok they are just include files then nothing to worry about xorg is gone. [21:17] dioioib: But some of the other directories contain ,so files [21:17] oh ok. [21:17] what directories were they? [21:17] like /usr/lib/xorg [21:18] can I just rm the folders? [21:18] ok. well try the next command in the sequence to apt-get the new versions. [21:18] I wouldn't remove them just try installing over them if it doesn't work then we might need to remove them. [21:19] dioioib: Ok so now the files that were deleted match the file size that were added and I did all the commands now how do I start xserver? [21:20] http://pastie.org/8997133 any help for scanner? [21:20] Hello [21:20] sudo startx [21:20] ok I', still stuck [21:20] dioioib: package not installed [21:20] +m [21:21] how can I enable root login on UBUNTU server 13.10 [21:21] did we run the configure on it? [21:21] dioioib: Yes we did [21:21] damn. [21:21] or at least reconfigure [21:21] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg yeah that one [21:22] um maybe we need to launch ctrl it. [21:22] dioioib: Yep and when I run the command now it says Fatal server error: server is already running on that display [21:22] <[[a]> hello, is it possible to check if a file has been encrypted? [21:22] dioioib: should I restart the machine? [21:22] ok just reboot [21:22] yeah [21:23] I'm getting psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres" [21:23] when I try to modify the database [21:23] thoonai: sounds like your username/pass for your postgress database is wrong [21:24] how can I enable root login on UBUNTU server 13.10 [21:24] I'm trying to build geany from source. It says to do ./configure as the first step, but there is "no such file or directory" [21:24] olskool: you shouldn't do that [21:24] yeyeman: then you shouldn't be building it [21:24] !sudo | olskool [21:24] olskool: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [21:24] I know the risks [21:24] olskool: you still shouldn't do it [21:24] olskool: more so if you don't know how to do it [21:24] ikonia, what do you mean? [21:25] ikonia: If I installed postgresql, then the user postgress should be default configurated? or? [21:25] yeyeman: I mean if you a.) can't deal with that basic error message b.) don't seem to grasp what you are doing - you shouldn't be doing it [21:25] dioioib: when it booted it gave and erro screen really quick but that was thier before I lost mouse input and mouse still doesn't work. I guess I'll backup and reinstall [21:25] thoonai: no, you have to setup the users/accounts at the first start up [21:25] Hello. I'm having trouble with X starting up [21:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7209665/ [21:25] thoonai: can you cannot as an admin user to the postgres instance [21:26] ikonia, "if you don't immediately know how to do everything forget it and don't come here asking for help" [21:26] It seems like there's a segmentation fault occurring during startup, in libxfont [21:26] yeyeman: no, but you are doing the equivilent of trying to do brain surgery before learning to write your name [21:26] yeyeman: you move in steps - forward [21:26] yeyeman: not jump to the end goal [21:26] ikonia: I executed pg_createcluster 9.1 main --start [21:26] tankerkiller125 well worth a shot to see if it would work. [21:26] <[[a]> hello, is it possible to check if a file has been encrypted? [21:26] I was troubleshooting this a few days ago, just getting back to it now. But the error seems to have been triggered by a libxfont update [21:26] thoonai: I have no idea what that command does., [21:27] thoonai: that wasn't the question though, can you connect to postgres as an admin user ? [21:27] [[a]: try to edit the file ? [21:27] ikonia: psql -d postgres -U postgres ? [21:27] [[a]: or read the file [21:27] tankerkiller125 lets hope the fresh install detects the new hardware and installs it by default. [21:27] sorry I couldn't get it working for ya [21:27] thoonai: well, thats connecting to the database postgres with the user postgres. [21:27] thoonai: so if that is your admin account/db - yes [21:28] [[a]: Try the "file" command on it? If it says "data" good chance it's encrypted. [21:28] [[a]: I'd suggest using the file command, especially if you're not sure what type of file it might be [21:28] [[a]: Try to decrypt it? [21:28] <[[a]> ikonia, I tried everything thats why I came here (I googled, tried all the available) [21:28] [[a]: tried what ? [21:28] dioioib: It did in the beggining. Only problem now is installing it. the reason being is becuase I have a AMD based video card [21:28] [[a]: if you can read the file - it's not encypted, if you can't, the error message should tell you why [21:29] yeah. I am having issues with my AMD cards too. I just bought nvidia and am going to try and set that up. right now I only have terminal access. I am finding out that mixed video is next to impossible to setup. At least I have my two ati cards working. But I can't switch back it is a dual boot and I need all the cards. [21:30] dioioib: And I always get the probel just got..... which is the screen freezing and the computer doing nothing [21:31] damn. and you need to use this stylus? [21:31] or is it more the monitor not working that is the issue [21:31] What is the standard Python version going to be in 14.04LTS? [21:31] I remember when I was installing the drivers for my 7850's I went back to a really old driver to get it to work. like CCC 9.7 or something. [21:32] ikonia: I have no clue [21:32] ikonia: I can't login as any user [21:32] ok - so you've not setup your users [21:32] [[a]: did you get your problem solved? [21:33] <[[a]> ok, I have a file of 1GB, no extension (by typing on terminal : file : myfile => octet/stream). 1) tried to extract it but failed, 2) cat myfile => got unusual characters, 3) tried to join the file => join myfile => got the same file. MY problem is >> I couldn't even know what type is this file (of course I googled about that) , and I thought maybe it is encrypted, so I came to ask if anyone could possible know how to check if a file has been encrypted or not [21:33] [[a]: where did you get the file? [21:34] [[a]: what is the file [21:34] [[a]: or what are you expecting it to be [21:34] dioioib: LOL the mouse is the issue atm I could care less about the graphics [21:34] ikonia: thanx I'm on it [21:34] yeah.. I am just wondering why the system is crashing from an input device. [21:35] hey ubuntu people :) [21:35] dioioib: It doesn't it crashes from the graphics card I just never cared enough to fix it becase it takes it awhile to crash inless I'm doing somthing really stupid or somthing thats intensive [21:36] <[[a]> I am expecting to be a folder and inside that folder im exptecting to find brushes of photoshop and wallpapers (maybe, .jpg, .png and also .abr for brushes) [21:36] [[a]: where did you get this file [21:37] <[[a]> from my friend , he is a designer [21:37] <[[a]> he said, extract it [21:37] [[a]: talk to him then [21:37] [[a]: Did you try the "file" command on it yet? [21:37] tankerkiller125. ok yeah then we are just looking at the xorg.conf issue again. I wish it was easier to setup but xorg config editing is a pain [21:37] <[[a]> yes I did [21:37] [[a]: ask him the status of the file [21:37] xauth: result was octet stream [21:38] ikonia: how do I change the user passwort for postgres user, if I don't know it and can't login? [21:38] ikonia: o.O [21:38] dioioib: couldn't I install the server edition and then install only the things that I want? [21:38] thoonai: you have to do it with the database running in exclusive mode, I'e not done it for a long time so would need to get the process [21:38] <[[a]> example in terminal : checkfile "myfilePSD" ==> encrypted (or type of file....) [21:39] [[a]: talk to your friend and ask him [21:39] <[[a]> lol [21:39] hi [21:39] [[a]: he can tell you if he encypted it and how he encypted it [21:39] any1 knows how to fix this? error: found two disks with the index 1 for RAID md/0 [21:39] tankerkiller125 yes that is exactly what I do. [21:39] <[[a]> ikonia, thank you my friend , yeah I'll ask him [21:40] Ntemis: it means it doesn't know which one is the "primary" with the sane data [21:40] dioioib: Only problem is that I'm not ubuntu smart and I would need lots of time I don't have [21:40] it makes for a really small install. And I prefer gnome so I tend to use this install method based on my own tastes. [21:40] ikonia: now what? [21:40] Ntemis: what do you mean, now what ? [21:41] yeah it takes a little while to install that way. [21:41] needs fixing? [21:41] Ntemis: up to you [21:41] If I had the time and I knew C or whatever it is I would make my own desktop but I don't [21:41] i must remove and re add every hdds back ? [21:41] dioioib: If I had the time and I knew C or whatever it is I would make my own desktop but I don't [21:41] Ntemis: you've not said your setup, so I do'nt know [21:41] raid 5 [21:42] that's just the raid level [21:42] if you can't describe a basic raid setup, I'm not going to spend time on it [21:42] 4x2tb [21:43] mdadm [21:43] software [21:43] you don't really need to know C but you do need to know how to use apt-get and sometimes make depending on what your needs are. But you would need a knowledge of PPA resources and what packages you need. The desktop is probably your easiers install. Followed by xorg config. either method you are still going to need to edit the xorg. :( [21:45] ikonia: can i safle ignore it? [21:45] Ntemis: up to you [21:45] dioioib: I never HAD to edit xorg I choose to edit it in order to try to better understand it and in the proccess I broke it :P [21:45] is the array ok? [21:45] as I said, if you can't describe your raid system - I'm not interested [21:46] tankerkiller125 story of my life. [21:46] you need mdstats? [21:46] dioioib: Same [21:46] dont know what you need from me [21:46] lol [21:46] I write everything down now in an 80 page notebook. every step so I can fix it if I break it. [21:46] xorg is by far the hardest thing I have had to setup. [21:46] dioioib: ok i might need help installing just to let you know [21:46] ikonia: md0 : active raid5 sdd1[2] sde1[4] sdb1[0] [21:46] 5860145664 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/3] [U_UU] [21:47] sure. I might not be on for a bit I need to go home and make something to eat [21:48] dioioib: OK thats fine as long as this part goes through I'll be fine other wise I'll need help although it appears that it worked :P Thanks nomodeset [21:48] dioioib: Problem mouse still doesn't work.... [21:49] yeah xorg for sure.. what brand of mouse is it? [21:49] hey guys, I downloaded this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/smlnj-runtime [21:49] HP not sure really [21:49] then I dpkg -i it [21:49] however I still can't use the sml command [21:49] why is installing smlnj so impossible? [21:49] anyone have any insight regarding my X startup issue? [21:49] Scriptonaut: why are you using dpk [21:50] Scriptonaut: you should be using apt-get/software center to pull in packages+dependencies [21:50] what else would I use? It's apparently in teh universe repo, but I can't [21:50] I apt-get install smlnj [21:50] doesn't exist [21:50] dioioib: I'll install using the stylus and see if the reinstall resets the xorg server [21:50] for 12.04 apparently [21:50] Scriptonaut: ok, so either a.) the package name is wrong b.) you have the wrong repo [21:50] Scriptonaut: saucy isn't 12.04 [21:50] so why are you trying to install saucy packages - you will break your system [21:51] wait what? [21:51] ok. let me know how it goes though I am interested to see if we can get it working. [21:51] 12.04 is precise [21:51] you are trying to install a package for saucy [21:51] I have to get going talk to you soon [21:51] it seems to only exist for lucid, quantal, raring, saucy, and trusty [21:51] ikonia: ok, thanx it worked ^^ [21:51] thoonai: nice job ! [21:52] Scriptonaut: what is the output of dpkg -L smlnj-runtime [21:52] Scriptonaut: or whatever the package was called, that dpkg -i'd [21:52] oh [21:52] says it's not installed [21:53] even though I apparently just installed it [21:53] probably because you try to install a package from the wrong distro [21:53] so it didn't install [21:53] ikonia: now only owncloud itself is not working xD [21:53] so what option to do I have to get this software? [21:53] Scriptonaut: what was the output of dpkg -i? [21:54] reading database ... some files installed\nPreparing to replace smlnj-runtime\nUnpacking replacement\nSetting up smlnj-runtime [21:54] no error messages [21:55] Scriptonaut: this might be a dumb question but I'm assuming you ran dpkg as root? [21:55] you're missing the point [21:56] you shouldn't be using dpkg because that package is not meant for your distro [21:56] yes [21:56] so stop doing that - remove any reference to it [21:56] ok how do I remove it [21:56] and then, after I do that, how do I get the software? [21:57] can anyone tell me any good configurable programs or setups to display system stats over the desktop? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [21:57] could I upgrade to a new version of ubuntu? [21:57] without messing too much stuff up [21:58] if I could find a way to overlay text or html I could just have scripts generate the content file [21:58] Scriptonaut, I see a ppa with a backport to precise. [21:59] ah, sorry I'm a bit of a noob [21:59] how do I add those [22:00] Scriptonaut, Generally ppa's are not supported or suggested here, however on occasion that is the only option, not sure that is the case here. [22:00] gparted only seems to see 1.64TB of a brand new 4TB WD green hdd - this remains true even after I set the partition table to gpt as I did for my other drives that exceed 2TB - thoughts? Think it's bad and needs a refund? [22:00] Scriptonaut: a third option would be to build from source http://www.smlnj.org/install/index.html [22:00] Holy shit! [22:01] Whoops! Wrong chan! [22:01] joseph [22:01] I built from source [22:01] I was able to write some code [22:01] however I need the compiler manager or something, and I didn't configure the targets file properly [22:02] and I don't know how === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:02] the project I imported won't run, but it runs on all my other machines [22:02] on debian it runs just fine [22:02] !scanlite [22:03] I'm going to scrap this system in a bit anyways, I'll add the ppa I suppose [22:03] which repo has scanlite ? [22:03] beldar, could you link me the ppa you were talking about [22:05] Scriptonaut, https://launchpad.net/~hrzhu/+archive/smlnj-backport it tells you the install, If needed the re is a ppa-purge that removes all installed and the ppa, supposed to anyway, if needed. [22:06] the purge is a convert the ppa downloads to the ubuntu repos basically [22:06] Voyage: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=scanlite&searchon=all&suite=all§ion=all I don't think scanlite is available in ubuntu repos - can you build the source or install a .deb file for it?

[23:14] Ulag2222: idk but if when you install things it gives the dpkg error i said above, you should consider just copying your data to something external and reinstalling ubuntu [23:14] http://imagebin.org/304005 [23:14] hmm ok :( im gonna try to install it to see what happens [23:15] did that work? [23:16] i don't know what for certain it means, but something is messed up and google doesn't have much info and if you don't know how to do lots of troubleshooting yourself, youd be safer to just back everything up and do a clean reinstall to be sure you don't end up losing data down the line to some weird thing no one can find info about [23:16] either way, actually, have a backup as a general rule [23:16] hey guys, what is the purpose of the server for search engines ?
