mos_basikI have recently gotten access to a private server running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.  For the next several months I will only have SSH access to it.  Is it feasible to update it to 14.xx using SSH, or to somehow perform a remote clean install?  Or would it be wiser to wait until I have physical access to do something like that?00:13
netlarI am on Ubuntu Unity.  When I change the file name the dash will still find the document under the original name. Do I need to reindex for the old name not to show up when I do a search under dash?00:13
bpromptacerspyro:      are you sure you didn't say     f=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb1   or sdb2  or some partition number at the end?00:14
acerspyrogparted says "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 4096 bytes."00:14

Bashing-omacerspyro: " IT won't boot " : check UUIDs in /etc/fstab and in "/boot/grub/grub.cfg"  againist sudo blkid, sudo fdisk -lu .00:16
bpromptacerspyro:    in short.. it should00:16
acerspyroyes00:16
acerspyrobprompt: Forced it to boot from it, and it gives the classic "no bootable media" message.00:16
acerspyroBashing-om: Get some context.00:17
Bashing-omacerspyro: You are dd'n the OS to USB correct, such that now the UUID's on the USB will not match to boot up, yes ?00:18
acerspyroBashing-om: no00:18
acerspyroI am DDing the .iso for the installer to my flash drive00:19
acerspyrobecause DVD media fails for some reason.00:19
daftykinsacerspyro: you're definitely dd'ing onto the root device /dev/sdx and not a partition, correct?00:21
daftykinsah yeah i see above00:21
daftykinsacerspyro: you also want a "bs=4K" on the end of that00:21
acerspyrodaftykins: Oh, will try00:22
daftykinsacerspyro: you md5's the download so the ISO is good yes?00:22

acerspyroah there we go00:26
acerspyrodaftykins: http://pastie.org/963874000:26
acerspyroOk, let's try it again - with the drive plugged in :D00:27
daftykinsacerspyro: can you do another of the same above command before trying the dd?00:28
daftykinsalso do the md5 before carrying on, no point letting this task get any more off track00:29
acerspyroIt's like my system knows I'm switching from Arch to ubuntu and it's suddently being slow.00:29

sheapI have an init script that provides a dialog menu before login, and when the machine starts up it shows for like a second, and then lightdm plows over it I guess and the login screen (with X) comes over it....is there a way to make lightdm wait until this script finishes?00:34

Tex_Nickdaftykins: a couple days ago I posted a question about a nautilus sftp share on my local LAN ... it worked good except nautilus search broke the sftp connection ... you recommended samba ... I've never really liked sambe ... but it solved the issue ... thanks for pushing me in that direction :)00:35
daftykinsTex_Nick: no problem! NFS was also my first idea00:36
daftykinsTex_Nick: glad it worked out ^_^00:36
daftykinsacerspyro: do you have that new pastebin?00:36

acerspyrohttp://pastie.org/963875300:38
daftykinswow00:38
daftykinswhat on earth is going on there00:38
acerspyrono idea00:38
acerspyrolotsa loop devices00:38
daftykinsindeed, no /dev/sdb in sight00:39
acerspyrogparted shows it as unallocated...???00:39
daftykinsfresh boot with the drive removed, sudo fdisk -l before and after plugging in please00:39
acerspyroBut mounting it creates a loop device.00:39
daftykinsmaybe this is something to do with that crazy arch you run00:40
acerspyroit does fuck up quite a lot.00:40
acerspyroAnyways, brb00:40
daftykinsso gparted sees /dev/sdb as the whatever size flash drive? what happens if you create a 2GB FAT32 partition on it?00:40
acerspyroI have a 2 GB iPod Shuffle00:41
acerspyrolet me reboot00:41

ubottuThe default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.00:41

acerspyroI do not have flash drives.00:41
daftykinsacerspyro: game over, can't be done00:41
acerspyrolet me checksum my DVD00:42
ianorlindding to an external hard drive would be a waste and that is probably your backup00:42
Daghdhaok, cool. all mine are using ext400:42
Daghdhaand tempfs but the major ones use ext4 so that good00:43

DaghdhaWell whoever learns/unlearns ubottu then. FYI: the link in !defrag gives 40400:46
daftykinsDaghdha: oh right, nevermind then.00:46

daftykinsacerspyro: what, from a DVD-R?00:56
acerspyrodaftykins: es00:56
acerspyroyes00:56
acerspyroIsn't it supposed to get its packages online?00:56
daftykinsacerspyro: funky laser, unstable PC, bad cables... don't know, plenty of variables00:56
daftykinsnot if you uncheck update during install00:56
acerspyroUhhhhh system seems to be functionnal anyways.00:56
daftykinswhich i would recommend00:56
daftykinswell i wouldn't just take your word for it, no offence00:57

loalucky *01:20
OrganicanarchyBashing-om, bubbasaures : So if i install "Somethign else" as the option to the external, my windows partition should boot just fine if they external isnt plugged in? its not gonna mess up the bootloader?01:20
reepeecheepOK reisio and Ben64 Really TNKS01:21
bubbasauresOrganicanarchy, What windows release/01:21
reisioloa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing01:22
Organicanarchybubbasaures, its windows 8, but its not that crappy UEFI, its got a regular bios01:22
Bashing-omOrganicanarchy: If the boot loader (grub) isinstalled properly to the external drive,; Windows boot code will not be touched, and with the external plugged in you have the option of which OS to boot.01:22
loareisio, i think i know what it means, i am just curious why i have not got it?01:22
loalooks like everybody complain about it01:22
OrganicanarchyBashing-om, do i install grub to the external or to my windowd boot drive?01:23
bubbasauresOrganicanarchy, Cool, just make sure that dropdown in the first gui of the something else option reads as the externals mbr.01:23
Organicanarchyso write the grub to the external's MBR, not the internals01:23
Organicanarchy?01:23
Bashing-omOrganicanarchy: You have said you do not want Windows' boot code disturbed, install grub to the external - assumming the external is where you install 'buntu.01:24
bubbasauresOrganicanarchy, Yes, the grub loader in ubuntu will boot bith OS and the internal windows boot stays the same.01:24
bubbasauresboth*01:25
reisioloa: I doubt most people who use that term actually know what they're talkinga bout01:25
reisiothey just use that for lack of a better term01:25

Ubuntu_User_SAGoodmorning everyone, Ryan here from South Africa.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.  I am having an issue with mounting and copying to a USB HDD.  I have tried formatting it as NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 (from a Windows 7 machine).  Ubuntu disk manager detects it as /dev/sdb.  When I try format it just continues forever attempting to format but it does nothing.  I have checked the integrity of the drive on a Windows 7 laptop that I have04:27
Ubuntu_User_SAand there is definitely not hardware problem.  Is there anyone who could guide me to resolving this?  Thank you so much04:27
bynariechaotix, i would, in my opinion, think you should have atleast 4gb of RAM04:27
chaotixbynarie, is there a distro in which 1gb of ram will cut it?  she is only using it for google chrome(gmail, youtube, various web sites), and to play sudoku, mahjongg, and solitaire, mostly  :) and lubuntu has cut it in the past04:27
Bashing-omubuntu_mezel: look'n .04:27

zerousI am actually having two network connections. i have connected my laptop to a wifi hotspot for internet and attached a lan cable to access the local network (which isn't connected to the internet). But i am not able to access internet when i am connected to these two networks07:14
zerousI guess that's because the laptop seems to be trying to access internet through the wired connection. Is there a way to configure the laptop to connect to internet through the wireless adapter. ?07:15
b0xethernet takes priority?07:15
zerousb0x: yes. is there a way i can solve this ?07:16
daftykinsput a static IP on the wired interface07:17

zerousdaftykins: yes the wired interface has a static ip and i have only configured the ip and netmask.07:19
zerousbut still it doesn't work.07:19
daftykinsyour default gateway must be changing07:19
zerousdaftykins: but i have not configured any gateways yet for the wired interface.07:20

Churuya-sanI am on Xubuntu 14.04. After updating to kernel 3.13.0-37, my Apple bluetooth keyboard stopped working. It can connect and pair with the computer, but doesn't work. There used to be an option in blueman to "Connect to input services" which no longer appears. This was how I was making the keyboard work before. Reinstalling the kernel and bluez and blueman do not help.07:51
daftykinsChuruya-san: what happens when you boot -36 again?07:52
Churuya-sanAny insight on this? Looking through Google, people seem to be blaming either bluez or GRUB2. Oddly enough, GRUB2 didn't recognize my Windows partition until after the update... precisely when the keyboard stopped working. I don't know how that could be possible.07:52
Churuya-sandaftykins: How would I go about doing that?07:53
daftykinshold left shift on boot, spy the GRUB menu... select 'advanced options' then pick the -3607:53
daftykins(one without 'recovery' beside it)07:53
Churuya-sanI think I might've removed the old version of the kernel. Is it possible to reinstall it without causing problems?07:54

erriettahow do i set a custom motd? i put my message inside a new file in /etc/update-motd.d/ but it says it can't be executed09:16
MichaelH_Surendil: no, i got that /dev/sdb7  but I need it in (hd#,#)09:16
erriettasigh09:16
MichaelH_Surendil: As far as I can see, Grub doesnt understand the "sdb7" format and needs the (HD_Number,Partition_Number)  something like (hd3,6)09:17
geirhaerrietta: That's because those files get executed09:18

joschhhI want to update a server running Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04. The problem is that I can't access the server room this weekend, so I've only remote access. I'm using freenx to administrate the server remotely but before starting the update the package "freenx" is on the list with packages that get removed during the update. How can I ensure that I can access remotely even after the update 10.04->12.04?09:38

eeeevitimiti: which ubuntu and arch ?10:33
vitimitiUtopic and amd6410:33
codephobicvitimiti, hmm you're lucky :)10:33
vitimitiI use the music-app, too, but as it's under development, I prefer Rhythmbox10:33
azizLIGHTbasically what am trying to do is i got a internet radio station, sometimes it plays good songs sometimes not. i wanna know the song info, if its a lame song, mute, if its a good song unmute10:34
azizLIGHTso i was thinking i can watch a indicator panel with song info or something and mute/unmute manually10:34
codephobicI've had Rhythmbox under several iterations of Ubuntu and with several different cpu & ram configurations, it has served well but with frequent hangs/crashes.10:34
lumia900whats the config i need t10:35
azizLIGHTanyone get me10:35
OerHeksazizLIGHT, why you need song info to say it is a lame song? use your ears :-D10:35
vitimitiIt's only hanged for me when all of the PC starts hanging, like when Compiz fails10:35
codephobicvitimiti, I don't want to jinx it, so not gonna say anything about the stability (or otherwise) of my ubuntu ...10:36
codephobicbut I've frequently had to open terminal and kill it or wait for 10 minutes or so, for it to recover from its hanged state.10:37

lumia900any help10:37

lumia900i can ping my serer ip but not the host name10:37
azizLIGHTi wanna get the song infopermanently in the indicator panel10:37
codephobicI suspect it is either or both due to the size of my music collection and the fact that I run it across my network from a NAS ... bandwidth related issues possibly.10:37
azizLIGHTlike while im browsing, im not going to switch to the music player just to see what song it is10:38
lumia900its frced static ip i have configured10:38

codephobicshould be there with your 127... loopback and your network (LAN) IP, if you've setup a static ip10:40

vitimitiRebooting10:42
lumia900codephobic the one in last was added by me manually.. just tried it might resolve10:42

codephobic127... localhost hostname10:43

codephobiclumia900, yep that ... I was just trying not to divulge your network ip :)10:44

Sohail-Ahmedcodephobic: would you please be specfic which app would be useful11:16
Sohail-AhmedI already have gparted11:17
codephobicSohail-Ahmed, the app I was talking about earlier is "Disks", just open the dash and type Disks11:17
codephobicit will give you a health, bad block etc status on each attached drive11:18
codephobicanyway, best get gone.11:20
codephobicthanks all for the help :)11:20

cfhowlettMiar, try a less resource-hungry desktop environment;  sudo apt-get install lxde xfce411:26

cfhowlettMiar, then logout choose an alternate session and login.11:26

OerHeksQuatroking, it will work OOTB i guess12:18
kestasjkHi, I've got a desktop media server set up, and I cant get a wired connection to it so I've got a wifi connection going12:18
Quatrokingwell it used to do that, OerHeks, but not since 8.112:19
AscavasaionI have "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)", and it works in Ubuntu as is.12:19
kestasjkbut its very flakey, and if I move the antennas around that seems to help, but in windows there was always this screen that let you turn the power output up etc to give it some extra oomph12:19
kestasjkIve looked for a device manager or something, but cant find anything12:19
Quatrokingit works on my ubuntu machine, my mint machine, my xp, my win2k, my win7, it worked on win8 but quit working on 8.112:19
AscavasaionQuatroking: Oh, Windows... no idea... sorry.12:20
Quatrokingbut as I said that's a windows problem, not an ubuntu problem. Glad I was able to figure out the chipset with ubuntu though12:20

Quatrokinghow can I config my ubuntu to turn the screen off after 5 minutes of inactivity when on battery, but keep it on until the end of times when plugged in?12:24
CapsuLafter i see nnetworking picture/widget ok12:24
eeeeQuatroking: settings > power12:24
CapsuLbut nothing with firefox or ping www.google.fr12:24
Quatrokingthat doesn't list the monitor setting, eeee12:25
eeeeQuatroking: settings > brightness12:25
Quatrokingonly suspend12:25
eeeeQuatroking: nevermind12:25
Quatrokingand the setting in brightness is global, for both plugged in and on battery :)12:25
eeeei don't know if you can have it different for on a/c or battery12:25
eeeeyeah :)12:26
Quatrokingon windows you just do it with a power plan, real easy, but ubuntu doesn't seem to have this12:26
eeeeQuatroking: I'm pretty sure you can modify it, because when i'm on battery and the power gets low, the screen dims pretty quickly12:26
Quatrokingyeah I have that too12:27
CapsuLaout dns maybe ?12:27
CapsuLabout dns maybe ?12:28
eeeeQuatroking: maybe it defaults to dimming it after 5mins or so on battery?12:30
Sohail-AhmedI don't know where was the problem but my windows restoration of 10 days earlier solved my grub problem12:30
Quatrokingeeee, probably12:30
QuatrokingI'd really like my monitor to stay on when plugged in though12:31
eeeeQuatroking: if it does, then you could set it to never dim in brightness.12:31
eeeeand leave the "dim to save power" checked, that way it would dim if it's on battery12:31
eeee( i think )12:31
QuatrokingI think that's still global12:31
Quatrokingyeah that's global12:32
Quatrokingdim screen to save power is only used when the battery is running at like 25% or so12:32
Quatrokinghuh, it really surprises me that I can't quickly find something like windows' power plan12:33
eeeei just tried it12:34
eeeeit's not global12:34
eeeeset it to never dim, and leave the pc untouched on battery12:34
eeeeit'll dim after a min or so12:34
eeee( my battery is almost full )12:35
Quatrokingoh, okay, lemme try that out12:35
Quatrokingif that's true then that's some pretty bad wording there12:35
eeeewhy?12:35
kristian_hi all12:35
eeeeit says dim to save power12:35
Quatrokingnothing indicates a difference between plugged and on battery12:35
QuatrokingI assumed the setting was for when it's low on battery12:35
eeeedim to save power kind of implies you're on battery and you want to dim to save power12:36
QuatrokingYeah12:36
Quatrokingbut I don't want to have my screen dimmed and then locked when plugged in12:36
eeeeQuatroking: the setting below it is for when you're plugged in12:37
eeeeyou can set it to never dim, and/or lock12:37
Quatrokingreally?12:37
eeeeyeah, that's what i'm saying12:37
eeeeset the one below to never dim, (it's for when it's plugged in) and leave dim checked12:38
Quatrokingokay, thanks12:38
eeeeno problem :)12:38
Quatrokingstill it'd be so much nicer if you had the amount of options windows gives you here12:38
QuatrokingI'd show a screenshot of an example but I don't have windows running on a laptop atm12:39
eeeeQuatroking: well all that's extra is that you can set how long before it dims when it's on battery12:40
bastidrazorapples to oranges12:40
eeeeQuatroking: you can change that with gsettings or dconf-editor12:40
eeeeopen a terminal and type gsettings list-recursively | grep brightness , if you want to see stuff12:40
eeeeyou can set the amount of brightness it dims to probably, too12:40

odisaHello. I'm having some trouble with my dual-boot laptop. I have Ubuntu 12.04 on one drive, and had Ubuntu 14.04 on another. I formatted the 14.04 drive (NTFS) to install Windows 7 on it, but the setup claims it was unable to create a new system partition. Also, when trying to boot in to 12.04, I now get the Grub recovery screen, not the usual menu..13:34
odisaDid I mess up the grub?13:34
cfhowlettodisa, one thing at a time.  suggest you first reinstall grub to recover your working system13:34

odisawait, so is this grub issue interfering with me installing Windows?13:38
cfhowlettodisa, you did do one thing right: LTS only.13:38
cfhowlettodisa, install windows first is the recommended practice13:38
odisaI know.. figured wouldn't be much of an issue because they were seperate drives.. thought it'd be isolated13:38
odisacan I just take out the other drive to stop it from interfering?13:39
eeeeodisa: yes13:39
odisaoh.. sweet13:39
cfhowlettodisa, yea but you'll still need to grub up ...13:39
eeeeodisa: you would have to select which disk to boot from the bios though13:39
odisacfhowlett: even if I'm going to install Windows on the first drive? I don't need to save the 12.04 per se.. it just has my backup partition on it is all13:39
eeeeodisa: i'd recommend installing windows alone on the drive first. Then put the other drive and attempt to fix grub, and hopefully it will pick windows up on the other drive.13:40
odisaeeee: well I was thinking I'd do that.. I wanted to transfer my files from the 12.04 drives to my Windows drive, then format the 12.04 drive and install 14.04 on it13:41

mojtabaHi, unfortunately I must install Windows on one of my partitions, and I think it will overwrite Grub. Do you know what should I do to install it?14:29
cfhowlettmojtaba, it WILL overwrite grub.  make an ubuntu USB.  install windows.  boot USB.  reinstall grub.14:31
OldSammojtaba: you can just do a "normal" win-install on a free partition (not formatting whole hd or something of course), afterwards boot with a linux rescue cd or so and reinstall grub14:31
mojtabacfhowlett: How should I install grub, I have not done that before.14:31

OldSamI have an issue with my X11 (running on Ubuntu 14.04) atm using a HDMI-connected monitor: If I switch to another HDMI-channel of the monitor (not the PC) and then I switch back, the Monitor loses the graphics signals of the X-Server unfortunately... :-( however, this does not happen on the console, so it must be an issue of the X-Server/X-Graphics-Drivers or something... Any hints how I can find the solution and fix the issue?14:36
OldSammoreover what I found out so far is, that the effect only happens _after_ a login to the window manager (currently XFCE), as long as I stay at the display manager login (currently KDM) the signal stays stable after switching hdmi channels...14:37

cfhowlettaudreeliss, mounting the windows partition requires root level permission because it is so easy to delete/scramble the windows partition.  and if break windows while in ubuntu, you're pretty much guaranteed to have to reinstall.  safer to mount the partition only as needed.  takes ...what?  10 seconds?14:43

rickyrayjaylooking for a bit of help, i recently picked up a lower end but ok Asus laptop. boot is UEFI and has legacy available. my issue is that there is only "Boot Option #1" available, so im unable  to choose usb to boot from. trying to try ubuntu 14.04 live and if i like, i may dual boot. how do i add a "Boot Option #2" please?15:48
rickyrayjayrunning windows 8.115:48
cfhowlettrickyrayjay, your device either does/doesn't support USB.  try a different usb stick and port15:49
kiznkittenno option to boot from USB in bios or change boot order in bios?15:49
cfhowlettkiznkitten, good question.15:49
cfhowlettrickyrayjay, if no usb is detected, the *temporary* boot options will not show USB options.  you can force it to boot USB from the boot setup options.15:50
rickyrayjaywell, im not sure if im seeing it wrong possibly, but there is only one option to boot from currently. and it is taken by the windows OS. there is an option to "creat another boot option", but then it asks for which drive path to use, and that can differ depending on what drive letter is designated to a USB drive. or am i understanding that wrong?15:51
rickyrayjayim just unfamiliar with UEFI and been trying to youtube on it, but having a difficult time15:52
farbodhi David are you there?15:52
kiznkittenare you in bios?15:52

rickyrayjaynot currently. im on the pc. just thought i might ask a few questions here and give it a whirl after15:53
kiznkittenWindows won't help you for what you wan tto do.15:53
kiznkittenOK when you machine boots up chose "setuyp" in setup you can change things like boot order.15:54
kiznkitten*setup15:54
rickyrayjayi do understand that part. but theres only one "Boot Option #1", and no others in the list15:55
rickyrayjayeven when i have the flashdrive plugged in15:55
kiznkittenYour hardware profile is stricktly a windows option--windows won't help you15:55
kiznkittendon't chose boot option. chose setup. should be two different options15:56
kiznkittenin setup yo will have a section for your devices that can be altered. You may have a boot order menu or somthing  similar15:57

odisaPogolauncher: install a different desktop environment16:18
PogolauncherHow so?16:18
odisaPogolauncher: reduces resource consumption, going from Unity to LXDE worked pretty well for the netbook I'm using now16:19
PogolauncherAh. Thanks. Ill try it out.16:19
odisawent from unusable to functional16:19
odisaPogolauncher: cheers16:19
netlarwhy isn't gnucash in main repository but in universe16:19
k1l_Pogolauncher: try Lubuntu16:20
k1l_!lubuntu | Pogolauncher16:20
ubottuPogolauncher: 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.16:20
jeremy31Alina-malina: my apache files(html) are in /var/www16:20
PogolauncherId like the lightweight features but I do like the style of the Ubuntu desktop as it is, anyway to just get the style of unity?16:20

odisaPogolauncher: Unity is relatively intensive.. if you don't like LXDE, there are several other light(er) DEs that might suit your taste16:22
OerHeksnetlar, see the url16:22
netlarok16:23
PogolauncherCare to give any other suggestions? :) thanks.16:23
odisaPogolauncher: XFCE, iirc, is another lightweight one. then there's Gnome and KDE.. not sure how those compare in terms of performance16:24
odisaPogolauncher: if it's really bad, you might want to consider using another distro16:24
jeremy31Alina-malina: using the file manager graphical interface will work and you don't have to worry about running too many lines in terminal16:25
Alina-malinajeremy31, i am on server :-/16:25

luzifer9999Hello everybody! I need to know how I can grep the beginning and end with one command?17:02
luzifer9999I want to know all tools in /usr/bin/ with beginning "c" and ending "s"17:03
geirhaluzifer9999: /usr/bin/c*s17:04
geirhagrep should not be used on filenames17:05
geirhaluzifer9999: that's a shell glob you can pass to ls for instance;  ls /usr/bin/c*s17:06
luzifer9999geirha, how can I use this with grep? My try "ls /usr/bin/ | grep ^[cl]*s$"17:06
luzifer9999It is important to do this with grep it17:06
geirhaluzifer9999: as I said, don't use grep on filenames. grep is used to select lines.17:06
dreamcat4how to mount /dev ?17:06
geirhaluzifer9999: ls /usr/bin/[cl]*s17:06
luzifer9999geirha,  ok but what could I do if I want to know how it works with grep on files where the beginning is specific and the ends too?17:08
geirhadreamcat4: it should already be mounted ... or are you thinking of mounting it in a chroot or something?17:08
luzifer9999geirha, files means textfiles17:08
dreamcat4geirha: yeah, i chroot from usb key to revcoer grub17:08
dreamcat4in the chroot /dev isn't mounted, must mount manually17:09
geirhaluzifer9999: to select *lines* that start with c or l, and end with s, it's grep '^[cl].*s$'17:09
geirhadreamcat4: sudo mount --bind /dev /the/chroot/dev17:09
acer???17:09
dreamcat4geirha: i'll try it and see17:09
geirhadreamcat4: basically says: "mount this over here too"17:10
luzifer9999geirha, thank you. And now last question why should I do not use grep for filenames?17:12
geirhadreamcat4: Firstly because it's pointless, shell globs are already better at it, and second, grep works on lines, not filenames. filenames can contain lines themselves.17:13
geirhaluzifer9999: err that last message was for you, not dreamcat4 ^17:13

Pinkamena_DI have noticed in the past months that on google chrome going to a downloaded item and clicking 'show in folder' opens the folder in nautilus in the [background but does not pop it up innediatly instead requiring a second click on the nautilus icon. Is this the intended bahavior?21:11
SchrodingersScatcould check your focus behavior in settings, see if it has an option for you21:12
RoryPinkamena_D: This is NOT the default behaviour. Check the settings of Focus and Raise Behaviour in CompizConfig Settings Manager > General > General Options. (You may need to install the "ccsm" package first)21:18

Bashing-ombubaI have 4 OSs on 2 drives, presently considering how I am going to re-arange booting, not real happy with the present configuration ! .. I have lubuntu embeded in sda7 (extended) and not working out too well when the kernel is upgrded. I am still *thinking*.23:39
Bashing-omDesperado_: bubbasaures :: do as bubba has directed, is one way, decide on what is the be that master booting system,. We can test from grub what does boot; then take corrective actions.23:42
Desperado_so how? i want sda to master boot HD, and it boot, how could i make sdb boot if selected?23:43
chimpboyhi everyone i am a chimp23:45
bubbasauresDesperado_ Have you run sudo grub-install /dev/sda tha sudo update-grub in the desktop and than tried the reboot to the server?23:47
bubbasauresthan*23:47
Bashing-omDesperado_: As you want sda as master, set in bios to boot that 1st hard drive, boot into the system and -> sudo update-grub <- that 'might' pick up sdb. IF it does then boot into the server install from sda and there also re-install grub to the MBR of sdb, and now IMPORTANT disable 30_os-prober in sdb. Problems booting into sbd we can work from a liveDVD or a CHroot .23:47
chachanhey guys, I have a public IP address assigned by my ISP but it has a firewall and there's no way I can do the forwarding trick. To solve this, I want to create a VPN so that my me and my partner can work but should I install this server outside my network right?, otherwise I may continue the same problem to access to the OpenVPN server, or can I have the OpenVPN server inside my network and "do something" to make it accessible to my23:49

Kb50My bios (old system using Asrock Conroe MB) automagically picks Master IDE when it boots) but some computers might not. Then on my system I have a removable drive bay, which has the Master drive in it, and then a second HD (sdb) with Windows XP on it.23:50
Kb50Grub seems confused or delayed. However being Western Digital drives, it could be I got to play with the jumpers of the drives to be sure its not just that.23:51
Desperado_ok, i try after reinstall and update grub on sda, nothing changed. Now i try to boot in sdb and install and update grub on it and then disable 30 os right? i try23:51
Kb50So my system is with Linux on sda and windows Xp on sdb. If I remove the sda (Linux) drive then Xp boots very fast, but with the sda in place thre is like a 30 second dead time before the Grub screen appears. But I can boot either OS just fine.23:52
Kb50And yes I ran update so everything shows up ok.23:53
SchrodingersScatchachan: not sure why you wouldn't be able to port forward, but if that's completely off the table, then yeah, I think you would need to have the VPN outside and reachable, unless you can do something with a reverse tunnel23:53
