[00:00] <nicofs> Why does pinging my router return "Destination Host Unreachable"? I am connected - even the router interface says so. please help me.
[00:00] <nicofs> i need my (internet) connection back...
[00:02] <d4rkw0lf> check your iptables
[00:02] <d4rkw0lf> check your interface setup
[00:02] <d4rkw0lf> check dns, routing, etc etc
[00:02] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, how do I do that and what am I looking for?
[00:02] <d4rkw0lf> okay
[00:02] <nicofs> DNS works - at least I got an IP...
[00:02] <d4rkw0lf> give us your ifconfig -a
[00:02] <d4rkw0lf> and your iptables -L -n -v
[00:02] <blackshirt> nicofs, thats mean not "connected" for logical or tehnicall
[00:03] <d4rkw0lf> can you resolve a hostname
[00:03] <nicofs> blackshirt, d4rkw0lf ping to anything apart from <IP_ADDRESS> (me) fails. can't resolve anything
[00:03] <zykotick9> nicofs: FYI you get IPs from a DHCP server.  DNS is address resolution
[00:04] <d4rkw0lf> llike run the command `hot google.com
[00:04] <d4rkw0lf> `host google.com`
[00:04] <d4rkw0lf> what do you get then?
[00:04] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, connection timed out, no servers could be reached
[00:04] <d4rkw0lf> and then do ifconfig -a, iptables -L -n -v .... and paste it to us
[00:05] <d4rkw0lf> oh wait you cant paste it
[00:05] <nicofs> "paste" is nice an idea... exactly...
[00:05] <d4rkw0lf> are you using dhcp or static ip
[00:05] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, dhcp
[00:05] <pfifo> nicofs, is your router blocking icmp traffic? Some call it "DDoS Protection"
[00:06] <d4rkw0lf> well no cause he cant resolve host names
[00:06] <nicofs> pfifo, said router works well with every other device in the network
[00:06] <d4rkw0lf> okay so hows your iptables setup did you manually do it or use a program
[00:06] <nicofs> (including the backup device I use to call for help)
[00:06] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, all via network manager...
[00:07] <d4rkw0lf> can you ping the router itself
[00:07] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, no
[00:07] <pfifo> nicofs, did you put a tick in the "available to all users" box?
[00:07] <nicofs> pfifo, yes
[00:08] <d4rkw0lf> id think you have a problem with the interface setup .... but thats not all it could be im just thinking higher chance
[00:08] <d4rkw0lf> set it up as static ip
[00:08] <d4rkw0lf> don't use network manager
[00:08] <d4rkw0lf> also, is it wireless or ?
[00:08] <pfifo> ^ dont use network manager ~ agreed
[00:09] <Guest99196> holas
[00:09] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, wireless - how do i not use nm?
[00:09] <pfifo> nicofs, 'iwconfig'
[00:09] <d4rkw0lf> okay yeah i bet thats what it is .... on ubuntu networkmanager  never worked for wireless, WICD was crap, kept reconnecting every minute
[00:09] <d4rkw0lf> vi /etc/network/interfaces
[00:09] <nicofs> ifconfig -a: "wlan1 inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> Bcast:<IP_ADDRESS> Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>" no errors, dropped... some RX and TX bytes... nothing striking
[00:10] <d4rkw0lf> vi /etc/network/interfaces   <------- for permanent settings
[00:10] <d4rkw0lf> i uninstalled network manager and wicd
[00:10] <d4rkw0lf> also I think having both of them installed at once causes them not to work
[00:11] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, maybe because you are skilled enough to fight yourself through the console... oO
[00:11] <nicofs> i tried that once and failed.
[00:11] <d4rkw0lf> i use wpa_supplicant
[00:11] <pfifo> nicofs, can you connect and use other routers?
[00:12] <nicofs> pfifo, i only have that one. I could try connection to the android hot spot from my mobile...
[00:12] <pfifo> nicofs, could be a bad password or such if its only the one router giving you trouble
[00:13] <d4rkw0lf> just turn off network manager and wicd ...  then configure ifconfig, run wpa_supplicant & wpa_passphrase ... then do networking restart
[00:13] <d4rkw0lf> or dhclient
[00:13] <d4rkw0lf> if that works, then edit config files and set it up permanatnyl
[00:14] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, is there any easy-to-understand and fool-proof how-to for that?
[00:15] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, there is a reason why I choose ubuntu with tools like nm over distros like gentoo... i just don't want to be bothered with setting up everything manually...
[00:16] <pfifo> nicofs, ubuntu works pretty good right out of the box when compared to gentoo
[00:17] <nicofs> pfifo, that's what I'm saying...
[00:18] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, when I connect to my mobile hot spot everything works...
[00:18] <XiaolinDraconis> all of a sudden im booting up with 80% memory usage
[00:18] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, ok - until the moment the connection is lost... :-/
[00:19] <XiaolinDraconis> was booting up with about 250MB now its more like 750
[00:20] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, use the program 'top' to find which program is causing the problem
[00:20] <WishArt> Hi Everyone, is there any way to delete file on ubuntu system using LiveCD?
[00:20] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo, i did, and i dont see a culprit
[00:21] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, then perhaps theres a tmpfs mounted? check the output of 'mount'
[00:21] <WishArt> Just tried tip how to enable hibernate but it just made my grub curropted
[00:21] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo, i never set one
[00:21] <WishArt> Corrupted*
[00:21] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo, havent touched fstab
[00:22] <WishArt> So wondering to delete the file instead from LiveCD
[00:22] <pfifo> WishArt, boot the livecd, mount the filesystem, delete file from filesystem... simple :)
[00:23] <WishArt> Hi pfifo, thx u 4 the respon. The filesystem mounted, but seems i can't delete the file.
[00:23] <XiaolinDraconis> tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
[00:24] <pfifo> WishArt, become root user 'sudo -s'
[00:24] <WishArt> Ah, let me try pfifo :)
[00:24] <nicofs> d4rkw0lf, "SET failed on device wlan1 ; No such device." - what does that mean?
[00:24] <pfifo> "once you try pfifo, youll never go back"
[00:25] <XiaolinDraconis> lawls
[00:25] <WishArt> LOL u're so funny
[00:25] <pfifo> nicofs, its named something else, maybe wlan0 or ra0
[00:25] <XiaolinDraconis> is that tmpf normal?
[00:26] <XiaolinDraconis> tmpfs
[00:26] <nicofs> pfifo, but "iwlist wlan1 scan" gave me the networks...
[00:26] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, having a /run is NOT normal
[00:26] <XiaolinDraconis> didnt think so
[00:26] <XiaolinDraconis> where could it have come from?
[00:26] <nicofs> pfifo, "ifconfig wlan1 up" worked aswell...
[00:27] <nicofs> pfifo, dmesg: "renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan1"
[00:27] <WishArt> Woops, still no delete option one right-click mouse after sudo -s
[00:27] <pfifo> nicofs, then im not sure what the problem is
[00:28] <pfifo> WishArt, ohh your using a GUI to delete, either delete via command line or run nautilus/pcmanfm as root
[00:28] <XiaolinDraconis> im worried now
[00:28] <WishArt> When i tried to access system in media using terminal it said "bash: cd: system: No such file or directory"
[00:29] <XiaolinDraconis> have i been attacked or something?
[00:29] <WishArt> But when I typed dir it's there
[00:29] <pfifo> !tab | WishArt
[00:30] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, its pretty suspicious, I havent ever had a ubunutu system create a /run
[00:31] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo, it has folders named samba, network, mount...
[00:31] <XiaolinDraconis> and a lot more
[00:32] <WishArt> Hi ubottu, thx 4 the suggestion but i can't find tab on my phone :D
[00:32] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, that sounds pretty bad, you should be thinking of a reinstall at this point
[00:32] <WishArt> I mean I'm on irc via phone
[00:33] <XiaolinDraconis> think ill boot my usb copy of arch
[00:33] <ronron> i just downloaded ubuntu, can anyone tell me how to access my windows files? i know it is possible just don't know how to do it.
[00:33] <WishArt> Ok, I will google this 1st "Run nautilus/pcmanfm as root" | pfifo
[00:33] <XiaolinDraconis> copy home
[00:33] <pfifo> WishArt, you should read through a bash/cli tutorial before you become root and start deleting stuff ;)
[00:34] <XiaolinDraconis> then reinstall
[00:34] <XiaolinDraconis> holy hell how did this happen...
[00:34] <user_user> hello friends
[00:34] <[snake]> Hi
[00:34] <durruti> hello chan
[00:34] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, unsupported 3rd party ppa's?
[00:34] <nicofs> How do I use wpa_supplicant to connect to a network?
[00:34] <WishArt> Ok thx i will google "bash/cli tutorial" too | pfifo
[00:35] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo, u may be right but that took an aweful long time to kick in
[00:36] <ronron> can someone help me access my windows files from ubuntu? i appreciate any help.
[00:37] <WishArt> U can access windows files automatically using gui | ronron
[00:37] <[snake]> ronron try finding the "filesystem" in natilus
[00:37] <Cyclohexane> how do i remove all lines that look like this? Aug 25 02:23:16 sj2d (date and time changes... and sj2d is the end of the line)

[00:50] <MindALot> greetings ubuntu experts
[00:50] <xmendes> need reinstall all dist??
[00:50] <pfifo> xmendes, a kernel panic is what happens before your computer crashes, youll need to reboot to fix it
[00:51] <xmendes> i reebot 3 times
[00:51] <xmendes> and nothing
[00:51] <xmendes> i dont wnat loose my files :(
[00:51] <xmendes> want*
[00:52] <pfifo> xmendes, just use a livecd or such to get your computer working and then backup your files
[00:52] <[snake]> xmendes try using a live cd to copy them to a usb
[00:52] <xmendes> tks
[00:52] <xmendes> i making a new livecd here to solve this
[00:52] <mastershake> hello
[00:53] <[snake]> hi
[00:53] <[snake]> Maste
[00:53] <[snake]> R
[00:53] <pfifo> hi
[00:53] <mastershake> i just installed dhcp, but it wont run because i keep getting "Can't open /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf: Permission denied
[00:53] <mastershake> "
[00:53] <mastershake> how can i fix this?
[00:54] <[snake]> Use sudo
[00:54] <[snake]> Shake
[00:54] <mastershake> still.
[00:54] <[snake]> :(
[00:54] <mastershake> it still says permission denied
[00:56] <WishArt> pfifo, is it enough to get root from liveCD by typing "gksude nautilus"?
[00:57] <pfifo> WishArt, that should work
[00:57] <WishArt> "gksudo nautilus" I mean :P
[00:57] <WishArt> Great
[00:57] <yekoms> i installed the synaptic update suggestions of firefox, it upgraded fine, but now flash isnt working, any ideas?
[00:57] <martini> :)
[00:57] <OerHeks> maybe /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf ?
[00:57] <[snake]> Yekmos dl from adobe maybe
[00:59] <WishArt> Yippie, did it :D So I don't need to install ubuntu from zero
[00:59] <WishArt> Pfifo ++
[01:00] <gr33n7007h> maybe chmod a+x /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
[01:01] <theborger> well i got it figured out
[01:01] <theborger> thanks fur nuffin :D
[01:01] <pfifo> your welcome
[01:01] <d4rkw0lf> your internet connection problem youve just figured out /?
[01:01] <d4rkw0lf> or was that someone else
[01:02] <bttf> i just switched my ubuntu to gnome classic ... anyone know the alt+tab equivalent to switch between windows?
[01:02] <d4rkw0lf> lol iduno i just was afk and when i left someone had internet connection problem
[01:02] <d4rkw0lf> i thought alt-tab is classic
[01:03] <d4rkw0lf>  but what do I know
[01:03] <d4rkw0lf> is it not an easily googleable question?
[01:04] <WishArt> Pfifo++
[01:04] <XiaolinDraconis> i thought tmpfs should be emptied when i reboot?
[01:04] <yekoms> bttf, its alt+tab.
[01:04] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, yes
[01:05] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: there are still folders in it
[01:05] <yekoms> you can google "ubuntu alt-tab doesnt switch windows" <- great start d4rkw0lf
[01:05] <WishArt> Btw how to add point to pfifo for helping? :">
[01:05] <willdabeast> For some reason my keyboard shortcuts don't work, it says I need to be in 3D mode but I believe I am in 3D mode. Any thoughts?
[01:05] <pfifo> WishArt, no need, but thanks
[01:05] <yekoms> !cookie pfifo
[01:05] <yekoms> !cookie | pfifo
[01:06] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, it copied it back into the tmpfs
[01:06] <WishArt> And thank to u too :D| ubottu
[01:06] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: im using a livecd
[01:06] <WishArt> Glad to get both of you here, thank you :)
[01:07] <willdabeast> For some reason my keyboard shortcuts don't work, it says I need to be in 3D mode but I believe I am in 3D mode. Any thoughts?
[01:07] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, hmm, what cd?
[01:07] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: archbang
[01:07] <yekoms> willdabeast, please state your problem, and wait for someone that can help, to help. :)
[01:08] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: most of the files are gone but theres a few folders in there as well as few files
[01:08] <willdabeast> I believe I did state my problem, unless you're referring to the repost, in which case I am sorry
[01:09] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, ok im a bit confused, are you using the livecd to repair an install, and your seeing files in /run, or is /run part of the livecd's system
[01:09] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: yeah i booted to archbang so i could backup home and then reinstall ubuntu
[01:10] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, they likely got copied there when /run wasnt mounted
[01:13] <willdabeast> Anyone familiar with video settings in Ubuntu 12.04?
[01:14] <d4rkw0lf> wasnt me asking about the alt-tabs .... i was just commenting what I thought
[01:14] <d4rkw0lf> but yes I google everything --- google is my best friend :)
[01:16] <pfifo> google ranks you as friend #24585620014
[01:18] <XiaolinDraconis> when backing up home its ok to just copy the whole folder and paste it on another partition right?
[01:18] <narnie> It depends on what you're planning on doing
[01:18] <psusi> XiaolinDraconis, that's one way to do it.. of course, doesn't help if the partition is on the same disk and the disk crashes
[01:19] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: copying to an external ntfs partition
[01:19] <psusi> better to use tar or archive manager and store the tarball on another disk
[01:19] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, I like to make a tarball of home if its not too big
[01:19] <narnie> I like to dd it into an image so I can mount it later.
[01:20] <psusi> then you waste time and space on unused parts of the disk
[01:20] <pfifo> narnie, you cant dd a folder, and if you just want to mount it try "mksquashfs"
[01:20] <toe_83> Sorry about my copy and paste, but it's a lot to type. Anyone have suggestions?
[01:20] <narnie> yeah, I generally don't do my home directory, but useful for /boot or a flashstick
[01:20] <d4rkw0lf> uuuuuhg................. ive done "set -x verbose"    so the commands I run would echo ......    but uhm having trouble turning it off now :|
[01:21] <psusi> that reminds me, I need to poke Ted Tso about my e2image patch that makes it usable for creating a raw or qcow2 image without the free space
[01:21] <pfifo> d4rkw0lf, unset?
[01:22] <d4rkw0lf> doooooh    brainfart
[01:23] <narnie> pfifo: you're right. I'm forgetting that some don't keep a separate partition for /home
[01:24] <yekoms> doesnt ubuntu use / for both / and /home when you do a guided quick install without encryption
[01:24] <d4rkw0lf> yeah no duuuuuh  its  set +x verbose
[01:24] <d4rkw0lf> unset dont do it
[01:24] <yekoms> i didnt set a /home in mine, but my /home slice is /home/black/.Private for the encrypted slice.
[01:25] <d4rkw0lf> always make home partition
[01:25] <pfifo> yekoms, im pretty sure the installer doesnt make any extra partitions
[01:25] <d4rkw0lf> and for the price might as well get a second HDD and keep a backup of your important files
[01:26] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[01:26] <pfifo> ... or just back them up to your phone :)
[01:26] <yekoms> mine didnt. i didnt want sda2 /home. i used encryption so it made that for me.
[01:26] <yekoms> i backup my servers weekly to a NAS. :P
[01:27] <Juv1228> yekoms, maybe look into duplicity
[01:27] <Juv1228> if you are doing it manually
[01:27] <yekoms> duplicity ?
[01:27] <Juv1228> http://duplicity.nongnu.org/
[01:27] <yekoms> my backups are .tar files... using putftp with it
[01:27] <yekoms> so duplicity does the same thing as tar except its encrypted
[01:27] <Juv1228> my backups are incremental difftars
[01:27] <pfifo> yekoms, rsync can tar and transfer in one shot
[01:28] <d4rkw0lf> yes why putftp ?
[01:28] <Juv1228> my backups are cooler than your backups
[01:28] <yekoms> pfifo, rsync doesnt check for file changes does it ?
[01:28] <d4rkw0lf> rsnapshot
[01:28] <yekoms> Juv1228, my backups happen once a week, and the space gets cleared month for them, so i never have stale backups
[01:28] <pfifo> yekoms, nope, does putftp?
[01:29] <yekoms> putftp is a .c i wrote to upload the files to my NAS ftpd
[01:29] <Juv1228> yekoms, my backups run incremental backups nightly, with full backups weekly
[01:29] <Juv1228> old backup chains are removed monthly
[01:29] <J11> i want to move my root partition together with my /home partition which is on another disk. Any way how I can do this?
[01:29] <yekoms> Juv1228, i dont expect my systems to crash like yours then lol.
[01:29] <Juv1228> which means i can restore to any day of the last 30
[01:30] <yekoms> my website is backed up nightly cause i edit it daily
[01:31] <Juv1228> J11, boot into a livecd and manually move the files
[01:32] <Juv1228> just make sure you preserve the permissions when you copy from your root partition
[01:32] <J11> Juv1228: so I take I won't get permisison problems when moving files from / to another partition?
[01:33] <Janos> hey there, got a question, what´s the ubuntu policy about adding functionality to stable software ?
[01:33] <yekoms> cp -R will preserve the permissions wont it?
[01:33] <Juv1228> yekoms, no
[01:33] <Juv1228> cp -pR will
[01:33] <yekoms> then what preserves them?
[01:33] <yekoms> oh
[01:33] <yekoms> -p for permissions ?
[01:33] <Juv1228> -p     same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
[01:34] <yekoms> i wouldnt keep the timestamps the same. or does this matter?
[01:34] <pfifo> Janos, in general, changes come from upstream
[01:34] <Juv1228> yekoms, it doesnt matter
[01:34] <Janos> pfifo, ok so patches like this would be better given to upstream right ?
[01:35] <pfifo> Janos, no, submit them to the packages authors
[01:35] <Juv1228> J11, you might be better off using --preserve=all
[01:35] <Mike> Hey all, anyone have a spare moment for some questions about dual booting?
[01:35] <yekoms> ubuntu have xmms ?
[01:35] <yekoms> Mike, shoot.
[01:35] <ezio> with sshd is there a way to detect the remote hosts uname -s output?
[01:36] <yekoms> i suggest you change your nick first Guest79054
[01:36] <Janos> pfifo, ok, then open a feature request in launchpad with the patch ?
[01:36] <yekoms> ezio, ssh hostname uname -a
[01:36] <pfifo> Janos, what package are you trying to patch?
[01:36] <Juv1228> ezio, from the ssh server you want to know the clients uname -s output?
[01:36] <ezio> yes
[01:36] <Juv1228> then probably not
[01:36] <yekoms> without an account EZIO, it wont happen.
[01:37] <XiaolinDraconis> yekoms: ive used xmms on buntu before
[01:37] <Juv1228> ssh is a one way street, the server cant execute commands on your client machine
[01:37] <ezio> yekoms, i have an account you dolt
[01:37] <Janos> pfifo, transmission, basically the transmission-remote can´t handle the daemon queue at all and i have a patch that adds this functionality
[01:37] <yekoms> i'm a dolt? find your own solution. all i was trying to do is help. but forget you.
[01:37] <redsfan1> Hey I was just asking questions about dual booting but had to change my Nick, my question was.
[01:37] <ezio> yekoms, it meant it far less offensively than that, sorry buds
[01:37] <redsfan1> New to computers in general here, trying to learn as much as possible! I just built my first PC two days ago and installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it from the get go.  I've watched and read a ton of tutorials on how to dual boot to add windows and they all start from having windows first and adding ubuntu, not sure what to do.
[01:38] <pfifo> Janos, look in the AUTHORS file in transmission's source tarball and send the patch to the person who is maintaining the package
[01:38] <ezio> i want to try to correct the backspace problem in the .cshrc based on arch, or some way to detect the client's backspace
[01:38] <yekoms> redsfan1, you can install windows second, but its a lil harder that way.
[01:38] <ezio> so that my professors will implement it
[01:38] <Juv1228> redsfan1, windows is a bit of a cry baby about booting
[01:38] <Janos> pfifo, kk thanks a lot
[01:38] <Juv1228> if you have a second hard drive, its best to install windows to that
[01:38] <ezio> because some of them use sun computers
[01:39] <yekoms> Janos, what patch do you have for transmission ?
[01:39] <Juv1228> on its own
[01:39] <redsfan1> Any links or tutorials on how to do so? or what do you recommend for a noob?
[01:39] <yekoms> !dualboot
[01:39] <yekoms> best ones around ^
[01:39] <Juv1228> redsfan1, completely disconnect your ubuntu drive while installing windows, then use the ubuntu drive to boot and add windows to grub
[01:39] <redsfan1> Thanks, does it also say how to partition the hard drive for me to add windows? I've also never done that before
[01:39] <Janos> yekoms, it´s a simple patch that allows you to display/control the queue when controlling transmission-deamon from transmission-remote
[01:39] <redsfan1> I only have one drive :/
[01:40] <Juv1228> redsfan1, the simple answer is windows will kill the grub bootloader when it installs
[01:40] <yekoms> Janos, thats already allowed.
[01:40] <aliciapg> so i'm having a problem with permissions in order to run a game i installed, anyone care to help out?
[01:40] <Juv1228> so if you install windows second, you will have to repair grub afterwards
[01:41] <yekoms> which requires a livecd, or a cd with the grub repair iso on it.
[01:41] <redsfan1> No idea how to do that, I'm trying to learn though.  Is there a way to erase whats on my hard drive (Ubutntu) then install windows from the get go then install ubuntu again?
[01:41] <Janos> yekoms, from transmission-remote ? i´m not using the web internface here at all
[01:41] <Juv1228> redsfan1, just boot the windows cd
[01:41] <Juv1228> and format the drive from there
[01:41] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, Install gparted in ubuntu the partitioner, open it and take a screen shot of the HD and put it in a imagebin this will save the 20 questions on getting to a dual boot.
[01:41] <redsfan1> Its an .iso on CD
[01:41] <Juv1228> leaving about half free for linux
[01:41] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin | redsfan1
[01:42] <[x]> how to set up local apache server in ubuntu
[01:43] <redsfan1> If I put the CD in will I have the option to format my hard drive then install windows and then dual boot Ubuntu after that and make it a little easier?
[01:43] <wilee-nilee> Juv1228, YOu can't resize ubuntu with a windows disc you would have to have a unallocted space, or better yet a NTFS already there with a boot flag.
[01:43] <Juv1228> wilee-nilee, he asked how to erase everything
[01:43] <Juv1228> and install windows first
[01:43] <wilee-nilee> Juv1228, Ah.
[01:43] <rgenito> so hooking into my job's VPN seems like it'd be easy ... using ubuntu's "VPN Connections" area
[01:44] <redsfan1> Looks like I have quite a bit of learning to do, lol.
[01:44] <wilee-nilee> may not be needed but one never knows without seeing what is already there.
[01:44] <Juv1228> which is most definitely the easiest solution for dual booting windows/linux if you can nuke linux
[01:44] <rgenito> does anyone use the "VPN Connections" system settings to connect to a VPN?
[01:44] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, If you post the gparted image I think we can bet to better than speculation, and opinions.
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> get*
[01:45] <redsfan1> Wilee, I do not know how to do that.  I am new to Ubuntu and building PC's in general.  If you do not wish to continue and assist I understand as I am very noobish and do not know a lot currently.
[01:46] <[x]> is it possible to extrack .rar filr in ubuntu
[01:46] <[x]> what command should i use ?
[01:46] <evoke> You can usually all partitions during Windows install. In rare cases where you can't, Windows drops to a prompt with shift-f10 during initial setup, where you can use diskpart [reading required].
[01:46] <evoke> wipe*
[01:46] <willdabeast> I believe I did state my problem, unless you're referring to the repost, in which case I am sorry
[01:46] <yekoms> scrot -d 10 is a great screenshot
[01:47] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, You would just install gparted it is in the software center. You would use the prtc key to capture an image of it, you would go to the imagebin link the bot gave post that screen image and opost the url.
[01:47] <evoke> if you built the system, you prob. don't have recovery partition to worry about
[01:49] <XiaolinDraconis> is there something i can do to figure out where that tmpfs came from?
[01:49] <pfifo> [x], install unrar package
[01:49] <yekoms> how do i check what glib i got?
[01:50] <evoke> x: unrar --help
[01:50] <[x]> ok pfifo evoke
[01:51] <yekoms> if im using glib2.0, why does xmms ask for >= 1.2.2 ?
[01:51] <pfifo> yekoms, your using a very old xmms
[01:51] <XiaolinDraconis> im worried that simply reinstalling will leave me open to attack again
[01:51] <yekoms> xmms ?
[01:51] <yekoms> open to what attack?
[01:52] <XiaolinDraconis> i was attacked
[01:52] <XiaolinDraconis> somehow a tmpfs filesystem mounted as /run appeared
[01:52] <XiaolinDraconis> had networking files in there
[01:52] <redsfan1_> Downloaded Gparted, trying to find out how to take a screen shot, once second.
[01:53] <XiaolinDraconis> redsfan1_: press prnt_scrn
[01:54] <yekoms> what was in /run ?
[01:54] <redsfan1_> Thanks! wille-nilee I took a screen shot, what is the image host link again?
[01:54] <pfifo> imagebin.com
[01:55] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin
[01:55] <yekoms> does xmms2 not have a GUI to it ?
[01:55] <XiaolinDraconis> yekoms: a samba folder, a network folder, something about ppp, a lock file, and several other items
[01:55] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, ^^^^
[01:55] <yekoms> any binary files?
[01:55] <xrfang> on my 12.04 server, how can I set domain search suffix?   I edited /etc/resolv.conf, but that's reset on reboot. I don't understand how to use resolvconf from the description of man page
[01:56] <redsfan1_> http://imagebin.org/231577
[01:56] <XiaolinDraconis> yekoms: what would they look like?
[01:56] <bz0b> hey how would i access an encryptedfs on an ubuntu 12.04 system, the hard drive has been taken out and put into another 12.04 system. i tried encryptfs-recover-private and it said sucess but i cant see anything in /tmp/whateveritsaid
[01:56] <yekoms> ls -la, should have the X flag in the permissions.
[01:56] <redsfan1_> Disregard that wilee I didn't take the screen shot correctly, one second.
[01:56] <yekoms> bz0b, did you use the encrypted password?
[01:56] <bz0b> yes
[01:57] <yekoms> i dont see why it failed.
[01:57] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, try 'file /path/to/file' it will dump a buch of good info
[01:57] <bz0b> well let me pastebin what it said
[01:57] <XiaolinDraconis> pfifo: im not booted to ubuntu, most of the files are gone
[01:57] <redsfan1_> http://imagebin.org/231578
[01:58] <redsfan1_> That is the correct one.
[01:58] <pfifo> XiaolinDraconis, you could still practice on other files if you wanted to
[01:58] <evoke> cd /run && file . -executable
[01:58] <evoke> that will give you a recursive list
[01:59] <bz0b> http://pastebin.com/ZR3wtrkF
[02:00] <redsfan1_> wilee did you see my correct image?
[02:01] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, Yeah I would do the wipe and install as suggested your Ubuntu partition is sda1 you want the windows using that partition, I was hoping that you had a extended around the whole install= the sda2.
[02:02] <redsfan1_> So how do I do that? put in my windows .iso disk and then it will bring up a menu with that option?
[02:02] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, This W7?
[02:02] <redsfan1_> Yes
[02:03] <student> .
[02:03] <bz0b> it seems like its working but no data is popping up
[02:03] <evoke> redsfan1_: you can delete partitions during windows setup (choose advanced when asked what partition to use, I believe)
[02:03] <bz0b> everytime i pick a directory it shows it as recover in /tmp/ecryptfs.agsdfas324
[02:04] <bz0b> the syntax im typing is $ sudo ecryptfs-recover-private /path/to/home
[02:05] <bz0b> or what would be the proper syntax to mount it possible?
[02:05] <n0sq> anyone know why emesene contacts don't show up? my wife and i are both online but our contact lists don't show us as online
[02:05] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, I always use gparted you would use a live cd to make a ntfs first with aboot flag. This will allow you to install in a specific sized NTFS and avoid the windows boot partition. You can make a specfic sized ntfs in the windows install but you would still have the boot partition. Basically we are trying to avoid the resize of W7 after installing to leave space for the ubuntu.
[02:05] <wilee-nilee> a boot*
[02:05] <xangua> n0sq: are you using the latest Emesene¿
[02:06] <n0sq> well, it's the latest ubuntu package
[02:06] <evoke> redsfan1_: wilee-nilee has a good point
[02:07] <redsfan1_> Is it possible to just put the .iso W7 disc in then restart my computer and format the hard drive then install windows fresh? I'm not concerned with losing anything as there's nothing on here.  Then after windows is installed install Ubuntu back?
[02:07] <redsfan1_> Because what you just said I have no idea how to do.  If what I said isn't possible I'll have to read up and expand my knowledge before trying.
[02:07] <pfifo> redsfan1_, partiton first, then install
[02:08] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, Yes, but unless you know how to install windows to a specific sized NTFS you will have to shrink it to have a unallocated space to install ubuntu in. W7 has its own partitioner so it is not a big deal to go this route.
[02:08] <xangua> n0sq: well i have no problems with pidgin but microsoft likes to play with it's protocol once in a while; you might need the latest emesene
[02:09] <pfifo> n0sq, you can search launchpad for bugs in emesene
[02:09] <redsfan1_> When I installed Ubuntu over PCLinux on my old computer, It gave me the option to partition the hard drive and install Ubuntu alongside my current OS, if I just formatted my hard drive and installed windows fresh then put my Ubuntu .iso in, would that still be a possibility as that would be easier?
[02:10] <pfifo> redsfan1_, yes, that will work, it could take a long time though
[02:11] <WeThePeople> what is the command to update youtube-dl
[02:11] <n0sq> xangua: i'd like to have amsn again but 12.04 doesn't have it and building amsn from a tarball is a real hassle
[02:11] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, You can do that, the general advice though with W7 is to let it resize itself that way you know its working when you install ubuntu, resizing from a install using ubuntu does on occasion cause problems, not often but sisnce this is a fresh install you can always do it again if there is a brick of windows.
[02:12] <redsfan1_> Will it resize automatically?
[02:13] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, No only with the windows partitioner and you telling it to or you telling it to in the ubuntu install, where you will see a slider to resize with.
[02:13] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, The only thing automatic in life is falling in love. ;)
[02:13] <evoke> redsfan1_: note: don't resize < 50% of original size. Windows puts master file table (MFT) halfway through partition.
[02:14] <redsfan1_> Ok so I'm going to in a minute, 1. Put my windows iso cd in 2. reboot 3. install windows 4. put my Ubuntu iso in then it will have the option to partition a separate hard drive to put Ubuntu on and I choose that size correct?
[02:15] <redsfan1_> *the size I want it to be
[02:16] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, You only have one hard drive, but yes the ubuntu install will have a option to install alongside, a slider will show then and you slide it to the left or right to shrink the W7, and install ubuntu to apartion it builds.
[02:17] <redsfan1_> Ok thanks! hopefully in a bit I'll be back in here to tell my tale! Lol! Thanks for all your help everyone.
[02:17] <wilee-nilee> evoke, You are right on the unmovable files being a problem. ;)
[02:18] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1_, good luck we are all here to help.
[02:18] <evoke> wilee-nilee: annoying when you know what you want and think it should be able to work it out :)
[02:19] <pfifo> are tablets PCs or Phones?
[02:19] <evoke> pfifo: computers, imho
[02:20] <evoke> on a tab now; android + gentoo chroot
[02:20] <wilee-nilee> evoke, Yeah I forget how long it took me to get the nerve to dual boot, and reload the mbr, I stared on open source and it took awhile. ;)
[02:20] <wilee-nilee> started*
[02:20] <pfifo> do you need android on a tablet, cause I require linux installed
[02:21] <evoke> android is kindof linux
[02:22] <evoke> tabs are arm processors though; helps to have a distro that directly supports arm [rather than the more typical x86 / amd64]
[02:22] <pfifo> Im looking for a computer that i can carry around that has a touchscreen, I thought a tablet would be ideal
[02:23] <pfifo> debain supports arm
[02:23] <megamanx1978> How do I remove home, computer, and trash from the mate desktop?
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> pfifo, YOU probably want to research what OS will support a touch screen.
[02:24] <evoke> "Linux installer" on android market installs ubuntu, debian
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> chrots right in
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> chroots*
[02:25] <evoke> Yup
[02:25] <pfifo> wilee-nilee, only intrested in linux and it supports touchscreen
[02:25] <wilee-nilee> I believe you need bluetooth though for a mouse and keyboard
[02:25] <pfifo> linux supports bluetooth too
[02:26] <redsfan1> Wilee, one last question
[02:26] <wilee-nilee> pfifo, I suspected linux, that is why I said I would look for one that has touch screen capability, I'm not sure ubuntu does.
[02:26] <evoke> or a dock. There exist tutorials to put ubuntu directly on tab I believe [no android at all]
[02:26] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, Go ahead
[02:27] <redsfan1> My windows .iso is 3.4 gigs and I cannot put that on the current cd's I have, can I do everything we just discussed with the windows iso on a usb stick?
[02:27] <redsfan1> I've heard you can install windows on a usb stick.
[02:27] <megamanx1978> How do I remove home, computer, and trash icons from the mate desktop?
[02:27] <yekoms> you can boot windows from a usb stick.
[02:27] <ezio> is there any way to make alt tab always expand my terminals?
[02:27] <ezio> instead of grouping
[02:27] <evoke> redsfan1: you can, yes
[02:28] <ezio> you can do anything you put your mind to
[02:28] <ezio> for instance, try to stop breathing
[02:28] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, Yeah, but I have used the windows dvd to usb loader, some have claimed unetbootin works, never had success myself.  You can extract the ISO to a ntfs in the usb in linux and have a bot flag, and it will boot.
[02:28] <ezio> :)
[02:28] <bazhang> !ot | ezio
[02:28] <wilee-nilee> boot*
[02:29] <klync> i have a precise box with chkconfig installed. i think that's causing upstart to act up. didn't want to uninstall it bc i wasn't sure if it would've done things i need it to undo. anyone have advice?
[02:29] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, To exatract the ISO in ubuntu though I believe you have to mount the ISO, it wont just extract with the file loader
[02:30] <wilee-nilee>  redsfan1 I think it is called the file loader, it will extract if the ISO is mounted, make the usb a NTFS and put a bootflag on it all in gparted.
[02:31] <wilee-nilee> maybe a dd works as well, I never dd so others would now the command there, you might try unetbootin first.
[02:31] <redsfan1> I do not know what most of that is Wilee, I am sorry.  Isn't there a way I can just put it on my USB stick, Reboot and make the usb drive the priority so then I can format my hard drive and install from my USB stick?
[02:32] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, sure in windows it is a simple app.
[02:32] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, If you have a dvd burner just get a dvd and burn it.
[02:32] <redsfan1> What I mean is once I plug my USB stick in and reboot, does it detect the iso on my usb stick while the PC is rebooting or do I have to enter it manually?
[02:33] <kaos-elcisi> selam
[02:33] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, In linux it is trickier if a auto iso loader like the unetbootin ap does not work, just putting the ISO in the usb I don't think will work.
[02:34] <evoke> redsfan1: usb has special setup. First thing: have you booted from usb before?
[02:34] <redsfan1> no
[02:34] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, YOu have any friends with windows?
[02:34] <redsfan1> I have a laptop with windows.
[02:34] <evoke> redsfan1: that might be faster
[02:35] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, Then use this app in windows to load the usb.  https://wudt.codeplex.com/
[02:35] <Baralabite> -Testing Lag-
[02:36] <yekoms> try /quote pong :)
[02:36] <D-coy> m4v, o7 xD
[02:36] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1,This app will only load a legit windows ISO just a heads up.
[02:36] <Baralabite> THanks :)
[02:36] <evoke> wilee-nilee: good sugg.
[02:36] <Baralabite> It's not working... :/
[02:36] <yekoms> you can rip your own windows.ISO. which is legit.
[02:36] <Baralabite> What's it meant to do?
[02:36] <wilee-nilee> works just fine
[02:36] <yekoms> Baralabite, it'll tell you serverlag if any.
[02:36] <yekoms> works on xchat
[02:37] <yekoms> well, works on efnet, idk about freenode :)
[02:37] <redsfan1> Yekoms how do I do that? the ISO I currently have is my friends as I cannot afford it because of school lol, how do I rip my own?
[02:37] <Baralabite> Using xchat... Not doing anything though :/
[02:37] <Baralabite> Anyway
[02:37] <Baralabite> I just wanted to see if /whois works on public channels, or just for ops
[02:37] <yekoms> Baralabite, /ping is what you use on freenode.
[02:37] <yekoms> redsfan1, you wont need too since you have a legit iso copy.
[02:38] <Baralabite> Can you get banned on here for using a proxy? I was just banned on another IRC for using my home proxy >:I
[02:38] <redsfan1> I don't know if my friends is legit or not, I'd feel more comfortable ripping my W7 iso from my laptop.
[02:38] <wilee-nilee> Baralabite, xchat has a right click whois when hovering on the nick
[02:39] <yekoms> Baralabite, if its a open proxy, some servers will ban you.
[02:39] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, If you are not sure it is legit I would not install it to be honest.
[02:39] <evoke> redsfan1: if it applies, most colleges/univ. have a steeply discounted program to purchase software, Windows for $5, linux cd's on the cheap, etc.
[02:39] <yekoms> just put your proxy on ports higher then 62000 and they wont find them.
[02:39] <Baralabite> What's an open proxy?
[02:39] <brady> man thats lame.. on other machines i use, for security purposes i always use a proxy
[02:39] <Guest52255> witajcie kochani
[02:39] <shantorn> Baralabite, /ping works on the server window
[02:39] <Baralabite> Ohh, thanks shantorn :)
[02:40] <yekoms> Baralabite, this: transparent proxy: (40317/59321) - <IP_ADDRESS>:80 - (203-113-213-181-static.TCS.netspace.net.au.)
[02:40] <yekoms> thats a open proxy.
[02:40] <redsfan1> I alread checked into that evoke but I am not taking any classes this semester which enables me to get windows for free or at a discount.
[02:40] <brady> i have this mouse , R.A.T 7, which has all sorts of extra buttons and shit
[02:40] <Baralabite> Thanks, I'll be back later
[02:40] <redsfan1> Is there a way to use the iso of W7 I have on my laptop and put it onto my usb stick?
[02:40] <brady> i was wondering if its possible to assign two of the side buttons for volume adjustment?
[02:40] <yekoms> redsfan1, use the windows.iso you got. if you trust your friend, use it.
[02:40] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, You can get a legit ISO, I have alink to digital river but I can't post it per channel rules.
[02:40] <yekoms> redsfan1, hang on..are you using ubuntu12.04 or something older?
[02:40] <Guest52255> jest ktos tu z polski?
[02:41] <redsfan1> 12.04
[02:41] <somsip> !pl | Guest52255
[02:41] <wilee-nilee> digital river is the one of the distrubution channels for windows.
[02:41] <redsfan1> and wilee how would you go about sending it to me without breaking rules? its not that I don't trust my friend I just would rather go a way thats 100% legit and I know it is.
[02:41] <needhelp1> hey, the netflix app for chromium.. does this not work on ubuntu ?
[02:42] <Guest52255> nie umie anglika!
[02:42] <yekoms> redsfan1, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/234.how-to-deploy-windows-7-from-a-usb-drive-en-us.aspx
[02:42] <yekoms> there is a good guide. ive used it twice.
[02:42] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, If you have a key and it is legal MS will let you download.
[02:42] <Baralabite> So, when you say open proxy, do you mean a proxy that doesn't really have any ACLs? So a public one?
[02:43] <xmendes> guys need help. ubuntu 12.04 starts on login screen . But when i put my login name and pass.. it come back to login screen.. but when i put to enter wich a guest .. it works fine..
[02:43] <redsfan1> I do not have one, man this is far more complicated than I thought lol.
[02:43] <Baralabite> And what port did you say you had to go to to prevent people from detecting it?
[02:43] <yekoms> redsfan1, here is another one: http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/firawiniso
[02:43] <wilee-nilee> you just may have to prove it, running windows without being blegal is not a good idea anyway.
[02:43] <wilee-nilee> legal*
[02:43] <yekoms> redsfan1, do you want to dualboot win/ubuntu ?
[02:43] <redsfan1> Yes yekoms.
[02:43] <yekoms> you can run win7 without a KEY.
[02:43] <yekoms> redsfan1, how old is your ubuntu install?
[02:43] <Baralabite> One more question.. :P How does proxy detection work, I origionally thought they got the webpages to try and connect to the server via javascript, but since they could do it in IRC, I'm not so sure...
[02:44] <redsfan1> I installed it yesterday.
[02:44] <wilee-nilee> redsfan1, WE are well into offtopic here now you might check with the ##windows channel.
[02:44] <yekoms> Baralabite, the IRCd connects to your host on a list of ports, and checks the service header.
[02:44] <Baralabite> *Try and connect to the server using sockets via javascript
[02:44] <yekoms> redsfan1, i'd start over, install windows, leave space for ubuntu, then install ubuntu.
[02:44] <Baralabite> Okay, so how can I avoid it?

[02:44] <yekoms> dont connect Baralabite its in the MOTD stating you cant stop it.
 *Try and connect to the server using sockets via javascript
[02:45] <wilee-nilee> Guest52255, welcome to ignore
[02:45] <Baralabite> Someone was saying get the port above 61000 (I think) they won't get it
[02:45] <redsfan1> But I do not have a key with my friends ISO he just told me to put it in and it will work.
[02:45] <Baralabite> It's easier enough to test I suppose..
[02:45] <yekoms> i said that Baralabite
[02:45] <Baralabite> *easy
[02:45] <Baralabite> Ahh
[02:45] <Baralabite> So, that won't work? Or will it?

[02:45] <needhelp1> just to confirm the netflix plugin for chrome doesnt work on ubuntu, is that correct?
[02:45] <yekoms> they never scan over 65000, normally they use default ports: 80/8080/3128, etc.
[02:46] <yekoms> netflix works in firefox.
[02:46] <Baralabite> Hmmm... >:D
[02:46] <needhelp1> yekoms: not for me
[02:46] <Baralabite> I'll test it ;)
[02:46] <Baralabite> Thanks!
[02:46] <wilee-nilee> needhelp1, netflix does not run in linux.
[02:46] <Guest52255>  they never scan over 65000, normally they use default ports: 80/8080/3128, etc.
[02:46] <Guest52255>  netflix works in firefox.
[02:46] <wilee-nilee> except in android
[02:46] <Baralabite> It's just a pain how some people think that your bad just because your using a proxy :/
[02:46] <needhelp1> wilee-nilee: any work arounds besides a VM ?
[02:46] <yekoms> Baralabite, im not nice when i use proxies.
[02:47] <mdx> gg
[02:47] <yekoms> i use proxies to bypass content filters ;)
[02:47] <wilee-nilee> needhelp1, Not that I have seen, dual boot a windows is what I would do.
[02:47] <Baralabite> :P
[02:47] <Baralabite> I just plain need it, that's all :/
[02:47] <bazhang> !ot | yekoms
[02:47] <wilee-nilee> or get a android device. needhelp1

[02:51] <XiaolinDraconis> whats a reliable method of backing up windows partition? i would like to store it away for a while and give ubuntu the whole disk
[02:52] <yekoms> XiaolinDraconis, you can mount the slice with windows, and compress the content. redo the slice for linux, and just reverse it later maybe?
[02:53]  * Baralabite just changed his proxy port to 6xxxx
[02:53] <kbrosnan> second hard drive would be the most reliable
[02:53] <Baralabite> Lets see if it'll fall for it...
[02:53] <rgenito> so hooking into my job's VPN seems like it'd be easy ... using ubuntu's "VPN Connections" area
[02:53] <rgenito> does anyone use the "VPN Connections" system settings to connect to a VPN?
[02:53] <kunji> XiaolinDraconis: I'm not sure there is a good way to backup just the partition, because windows likes to complain if it is moved, or if the partition it's on changes size even slightely, etc... hmm, I'm really not sure what I would recommend for that.
[02:54] <kbrosnan> rgenito: yeah, openvpn config files provided by your office/
[02:55] <kunji> rgenito: it depends what vpn your office is using, you might need to install a few packages to get it working
[02:55] <rgenito> ah, problem is... the company lost their sys admin guy. and i'm that sys admin guy now, and i've never actually connected to a vpn
[02:55] <rgenito> ah ok, they're using VPN 3000 something
[02:55] <Baralabite> Dangit, the website didn't fall for it :/ Maybe IRCd will :}
[02:55] <rgenito> i believe it's the "concentrator series" from cisco
[02:55] <kunji> rgenito: prepare your resume and put in your two weeks notice
[02:56] <yekoms> Baralabite, how are you testing this proxy? you can use my site to tell if its transparent or elite status proxy
[02:56] <yekoms> kunji, HAHA!
[02:56] <Baralabite> I'm just using minecraftservers.net, which I know checks for proxies, I'd like to use your site if I can thanks
[02:57] <rgenito> no need for a 2 weeks notice...i'm just filling the spot for now
[02:57] <yekoms>  http://blackness.sytes.net:81/?i=7 that will tell you if I can detect a proxy.
[02:57] <icedtea> Anyone know how to fix this? E: Couldn't download packages: python-minimal python2.7-minimal sysvinit-utils
[02:57] <xmendes> guys need help. ubuntu 12.04 starts on login screen . But when i put my login name and pass.. it come back to login screen.. but when i put to enter wich a guest .. it works fine..
[02:57] <Baralabite> Thanks mate
[02:57] <icedtea> when running pbuilder create
[02:57] <xmendes> anyone?
[02:57] <yekoms> xmendes, sounds like your /home/user/ is broken.
[02:58] <yekoms> check Xmgr log
[02:58] <xmendes> and how i fix?
[02:58] <yekoms> depends on what exactly is broken.
[02:58] <xmendes> broken how?? deleted?
[02:58] <Baralabite> Gah... "Proxy Detected! Real IP: <IP_ADDRESS>" -_-
[02:58] <XiaolinDraconis> im copying and pasting home, would there be some symlink its following outside of the folder?
[02:58] <rgenito> xmendes, perhaps something in that user's login is causing X to crash?
[02:58] <xmendes> hummm
[02:58] <yekoms> Baralabite, your proxy is setup as a transparent proxy, you need to set it up for stealth.
[02:58] <XiaolinDraconis> cause skyrim.bsa should not be being processed.
[02:59] <xmendes> i was trying install nvidia drivers
[02:59] <Baralabite> How do I set it up for "stealth"?
[02:59] <yekoms> where is skyrim.bsa located XiaolinDraconis ?
[02:59] <xmendes> could be that??
[02:59] <yekoms> Baralabite, i dont know, i dont setup proxies i just rape them LOL.
[02:59] <XiaolinDraconis> yekoms: on the partition i am copying home to
[02:59] <Baralabite> Also, would you be able to send me proxy.php, I just wanna check out the source
[02:59] <Baralabite> If not, that's fine
[02:59] <yekoms> one moment.
[03:01] <iateadonut> i just downloaded treesheets from the ubuntu software center - i hit alt-f2 and type in treesheets and see the icon, but can't run it by cliking the icon or through the terminal
[03:01] <xmendes> rgenito, if i delete xorg.conf .. fix?
[03:01] <yekoms> Baralabite, http://blackness.sytes.net:81/checkme.txt = proxy.php
[03:01] <Baralabite> Thanks
[03:01] <rgenito> xmendes, try it. back it up first of course :)
[03:01] <xmendes> ok
[03:01] <xmendes> will try
[03:02] <[x]> what is cloud computing
[03:02] <yekoms> rgenito, why not just ask him to check his logs?
[03:02] <rgenito> i thought you already asked him to do that? :)
[03:03] <kamas> i locked myself out of my ubuntu
[03:03] <yekoms> no.. :P
[03:03] <rgenito> whattt who was that...
[03:03] <kamas> it is a usb bootable linux ubuntu
[03:03] <yekoms> the log he needs is in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log
[03:03] <Baralabite> 404 :/ But don't worry, I got it anyway, blackness.sytes.net:81/code/src.php?i=checkme.php.src
[03:03] <yekoms> there you go.
[03:03] <kamas> i just changed settings to 'no password" but now i am locked ot
[03:03] <kamas> anybody know why or how to fix?
[03:03] <yekoms> kamas, have you tried logging in as root VIA terminal from ctrl+alt+f2?
[03:03] <evoke> [x]: hype? More seriously though, services you usually get on the desktop/from a server, provided by someone else's server farms.
[03:04] <rgenito> yekoms, good idea
[03:04] <kamas> no i havev not
[03:04] <yekoms> on the login window, hit ctrl+alt+f2 it will switch you to a login terminal, try root/passwd.
[03:04] <L3top> !root
[03:04] <kamas> ok, then will i be taken to the normal ubuntu screen?
[03:04] <yekoms> then reset your password for user. or change the settings you set before this problem kamas
[03:05] <yekoms> L3top, read, i gave a example. i wasnt guessing.
[03:05] <[x]> evoke: free services for cloud computing available ?
[03:05] <yekoms> kamas, yo get back to GUI hit, ctrl+alt+f6 i think ?
[03:05] <yekoms> s/yo/to *
[03:05] <Baralabite> Lol l3top
[03:06] <yekoms> i know better then to guess :)
[03:06] <yekoms> too *
[03:06] <brady> ok when im setting keyboard shortcuts, apparently it doesnt consider a button on my mouse as a key
[03:06] <sycho123321> hey
[03:06] <kamas> i dont know anything about linux
[03:06] <ner0x> Difference in chromium-browsers and google-chrome is? Seems to just be the version. 20 vs 22.
[03:06] <Baralabite> Ctrl + alt + f6 gets you to tty6, or terminal
[03:06] <sycho123321> chromium is open source
[03:06] <L3top> yekoms: you gave advice to try and log in as root. That won't work. Perhaps you should take your own advice and click the link.
[03:06] <kunji> You can use a live cd to set the root password if you need to, though I forget the exact method, or to add yourself to the sudoers file.
[03:06] <brady> at least that is how it appears, trying to assign some extra buttons on my mouse to control the volume on my system
[03:06] <wilee-nilee> [x], Not a ubuntu question, but here is one link from a simple google search using your question. http://nanospeck.hubpages.com/hub/Free-Cloud-Computing-Services-Software-Providers
[03:06] <Baralabite> You can press CTRL+ALT+F1/6 to get from tty1/6, or terminal
[03:07] <sycho123321> Is there a linux alternative to air parrot.
[03:07] <psusi> kunji, don't need a livecd for that, rescue mode works
[03:07] <yekoms> you cant login to a terminal as root?
[03:07] <sycho123321> sudo -s
[03:07] <Baralabite> sudo su
[03:07] <L3top> no.
[03:07] <evoke> yekoms: ctrl-alt-f7 for X
[03:07] <sycho123321> yes you can
[03:07] <kamas> so i can type in: root, then root again?
[03:07] <sycho123321> no sudo -s
[03:07] <yekoms> if your using a LiveCD, do mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/; chroot /mnt
[03:07] <[x]> ok wilee-nilee , thanks for your mighty help
[03:08] <kunji> psusi: that's true, but not all grub installs have the rescue mode, it would depend what version and which distro.
[03:08] <ner0x> sycho123321: That's the only difference?
[03:08] <[x]> i could not find good one so need this help
[03:08] <sycho123321> what
[03:08] <wilee-nilee> [x], Lots out there I think. ;)
[03:08] <L3top> sudo -s will give a logged in session root priveledges... that is not the same as logging in as root.
[03:08] <yekoms> i can hit ctrl+alt+f2 and use my root login and gain access.
[03:08] <psusi> kunji, since this is #ubuntu, we can assume we're talking about Ubuntu, which does have it
[03:08] <sycho123321> true
[03:08] <Baralabite> Well, it's pretty close to it :P
[03:08] <Baralabite> As close as I think you can get to it
[03:08] <kunji> psusi: The current version does
[03:08] <sycho123321> Is there a linux alternative to air parrot.
[03:08] <kamas> ok i will have to leave this room to try and fix my ubuntu
[03:08] <sycho123321> airparrot.com
[03:09] <Baralabite> I just recently got out of the terrible habbit of staying permanatnly in "Sudo su"
[03:09] <yekoms> i dont see how one can enter sudo -s at a terminal when its asking for a USERNAME.
[03:09] <arooni-mobile> how do i set the media keys on my t420 ubuntu 12.04 laptop set to clementines shortcuts
[03:09] <[x]> ok wilee-nilee
[03:09] <jen> HELLO
[03:09] <Baralabite> ... after accidently deleting the home directory
[03:09] <yekoms> i dont use sudo su for root, i use 'su'.
[03:09] <psusi> yekoms, you log in as yourself first
[03:09] <sycho123321> Is there a linux alternative to air parrot.
[03:09] <L3top> kamas: The proper way to do it would probably be to chroot from live CD and make the change.
[03:09] <yekoms> psusi, he forgot username's password. and needs to reset it.
[03:09] <derpinz> ahem* does anyone know how to limit your canvas on MyPaint?
[03:09] <yekoms> L3top, i gave him the command to do just that :)
[03:10] <psusi> then you want rescue mode, choose root shell
[03:10] <kunji> sycho123321:is it just streaming the desktop?
[03:10] <sycho123321> ya i thik so
[03:10] <yekoms> mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/; chroot /mnt
[03:10] <kamas> L3top, i am logging in from a USB ubuntu thumb drive
[03:10] <wilee-nilee> Baralabite, Ubuntu is not designed to run in root, but there are linux OS that are, most of which are safer with a admin rot access account
[03:10] <yekoms> if sda1 is /
[03:10] <sycho123321> *think
[03:10] <kamas> the thumb drive saves the linux settings
[03:10] <yekoms> kamas, you already on a LIVECD?
[03:10] <kunji> sycho123321: Hmm, oh, I guess it also supports desktop extension, so I guess it's doing a bit more
[03:10] <wilee-nilee> root*
[03:10] <Baralabite> I figured as much wille-nilee - that's why I stopped my terrible practice :P
[03:10] <kamas> i have it but have to reset this machine to get to it
[03:11] <L3top> yekoms: I believe that you must be misusing the term root if that is what you think you told him.
[03:12] <yekoms> when i use the term root i mean ;gain root access via su/sudo/xlogin;
[03:12] <kamas> what do i type in to get that access?
[03:12] <kamas> first i do ctrl alt f2?
[03:12] <yekoms> kamas, are you on a livecd?
[03:12]  * evoke admits 'sudo bash' with some regularity
[03:12] <kamas> not now, now i am on windows
[03:12] <Baralabite> Kams: You can type in from CTRL+ALT+F1 to CTRL+ALT+F6, and everything in between
[03:12] <kamas> but my linux is on a USB thumb drive
[03:13] <yekoms> wait, your linux system is installed to a USB drive?
[03:13] <kamas> yes, and i have it setup where it saves all settings, so all 4gb stay on the usb drive, if i unplug it and put it in another machine, all my settings and data are still saved on the drive
[03:14] <evoke> kamas: lili?
[03:14] <yekoms> oh i cant help you with that..
[03:14] <kamas> what is lili?
[03:14] <yekoms> ive never used a pendrive as a system drive.
[03:14] <evoke> LiveLinux
[03:14] <kamas> oh , yes
[03:15] <zeus_rishi> need a help
[03:15] <kamas> yekoms it is probably exactly the same look
[03:15] <kamas> u wont notice a difference
[03:15]  * evoke scrolls up for context
[03:15] <kamas> i think it should work the same way
[03:15] <L3top> kamas: from live cd, mount the drive. Then for just changing the password, You won't need to mount a bunch of other things... then sudo chroot /mounted/path then make the changes needed.
[03:15] <derpinz> anyone?
[03:15] <yekoms> pendrives fail too much for my taste
[03:16] <zeus_rishi> how to cleanup boot space??
[03:16] <yekoms> kamas, after booting your liveCD, type: mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/; chroot /mnt, then fix.
[03:16] <zeus_rishi> in ubuntu
[03:16] <yekoms> you mean boot menu zeus_rishi ?
[03:16] <kamas> so i can type this?:        sudo chroot /mounted/path
[03:16] <derpinz> anyone know how to set MYPAINT without unlimited canvas?
[03:16] <zeus_rishi> no when i start up my ubuntu it asks me to cleanup /boot
[03:16] <kamas> yekoms what will hapen after i type that?
[03:17] <L3top> kamas... you will replace /mounted/path with the path you have mounted the drive.
[03:17] <yekoms> you'll be using the linux installed on /dev/sda1
[03:17] <[x]> is there an any ubuntu based ssh shell ?
[03:17] <meditatingfrog> derpinz: if it's anything like gimp, it's under "image -> canvas size"
[03:17] <yekoms> but your system is ON a usb stick..so it might be different.
[03:17] <L3top> kamas: if you are using a pen drive then it will not likely be on sda1
[03:18] <L3top> kamas: sudo fdisk -l    will show you the connected drives.

[03:18] <yekoms> my server is ubuntu 8.04 :)
[03:18] <derpinz> nope

[03:25] <Baralabite> Meh, she  would have only been browsing anyway
[03:26] <lukas_> hey who was i just talking to
[03:26] <XiaolinDraconis> where in the home folder would sysmlinks to other partitions be?
[03:27] <XiaolinDraconis> copying the home folder resulted in some weird results
[03:27] <evoke> lukas_: we're not sure, but you're in the clutches of Ubuntu now.
[03:27] <kunji> XiolinDraconis: umm... what's a sysmlink?
[03:28] <Baralabite> Hey, anyone know what a port scanning command is?
[03:28] <Baralabite> Say I want to scan for open ports on another computer on my network, can it be done from console?
[03:28] <yekoms> nmap
[03:28] <kunji> nmap is a good one
[03:28] <yekoms> nmap -P host
[03:28] <XiaolinDraconis> kunji: symlink
[03:29] <yekoms> scans the first 10000 ports i think, or uses /etc/services
[03:29] <XiaolinDraconis> kunji: its kinda like a windows shortcut
[03:29] <Baralabite> Command not found... apt-get?
[03:29] <kunji> XiaolinDraconis: ah, now I know what you're talking about :P
[03:29] <Baralabite> Apt-get doesn't work either
[03:29] <Baralabite> Like, it fails on apt-get

[03:31] <Baralabite> No goddard, sorry
[03:31] <somsip> goddard: what page? Is there an error in the console (F12)
[03:31] <L3top> Baralabite: sudo apt-get install nmap... when you say things fail...

[03:31] <Mneumonic> goddard honestly I switched from Chrome back to Firefox recently (after using and loving chrome since it's release).  Recent versions of chrome have had all kinds of weird errors like that for me.

[03:31] <somsip> Baralabite: it's 'apt get'
[03:32] <Baralabite> somsip - I'm sure that's wrong...
[03:32] <Baralabite> 'apt get'?
[03:32] <Baralabite> It's apt-get

[03:34] <redsfan1> meh
[03:34] <Baralabite> Yup, still getting "403, Forbidden" on "sudo apt-get install nmap"
[03:35] <Baralabite> I'll try doing a manual install

[03:37] <yekoms> touchpad has issues..
[03:37] <yekoms> does it work at all?
[03:38] <Baralabite> I was just confirming that it is working now yekoms
[03:38] <gr33n7007h> nmap -sV -sS -p1-65535 -O -A -n <host>
[03:38] <Guest53879> not working
[03:38] <yekoms> omg, thats VERY extensive eh gr33n7007h ?
[03:38] <gr33n7007h> yekoms, lol
[03:39] <invincible1> hello out there ... i am using Xubutu 12.04 . i am not able to access https web sites . i am connected to internet through DSL . if i connect through pppoeconf every thing goes fine .
[03:39] <yekoms> just let him use the /etc/services file lol.

[03:39] <lukas_> anyone know any good linux mirroing to apple tv wirelessly
[03:39] <kama1> i cannot fix my ubuntu password problem
[03:39] <kama1> i got into the terminal
[03:39] <BlackAngelPR> guys i just use gparted and delete windows finally to install it on virtual but how can i tell ubuntu now to use all the hdd space XD ?
[03:40] <kama1> but i dont know what commands to use to change password
[03:40] <yekoms> the command is 'passwd username'
[03:40] <BlackAngelPR> you have a gui for passwd :P
[03:40] <Baralabite> AFAIK you can get gparted to resize the ubuntu partition - correct me if I'm wrong...
[03:40] <kama1> then after that i can make a new password?
[03:40] <kama1> do i need to know the old password?
[03:40] <BlackAngelPR> yes kama1
[03:40] <yekoms> it should prompt you for a new password.
[03:41] <yekoms> you'll need the old password if you type passwd username as nonroot.
[03:41] <kama1> ok
[03:41] <kama1> ill try
[03:41] <yekoms> if you issue; passwd username as root you wont need the old password.
[03:41] <lukas_> anyone know any good linux mirroing to apple tv wirelessly
[03:41] <Guest53879> yekoms:  you means  the touchpad hardware issues ?
[03:41] <Baralabite> Thanks, nmap works great
[03:41] <kama1> so it seems anyone can steal my linux and log in just by doing that?
[03:42] <BlackAngelPR> (>_<)  Gparted help expert anyone?
[03:42] <gr33n7007h> Baralabite, 6.02 latest
[03:42] <yekoms> Guest53879, yes, touchpad has some flaws..does your mouse show up in dmesg?
[03:42] <BlackAngelPR> Zadf0q9@
[03:42] <yekoms> kama1, if they have access to root, then yeah they can.
[03:42] <BlackAngelPR> ups
[03:42] <BlackAngelPR> lol
[03:42] <kama1> how can i block access to root
[03:42] <yekoms> dont give anyone access to sudo via /etc/sudoers
[03:43] <wilee-nilee> BlackAngelPR, Take a screenshot of gparted, put it in a imagbin and state your problem in the form of a question.
[03:43] <Guest53879> yes, i use USB mouse now. touchpad is not working.
[03:43] <yekoms> thats about the only way i know of.
[03:43] <Baralabite> Thanks gr33n7007h, it's really working great, thanks for the help
[03:44] <sycho123321> anyone know any good linux mirroing to apple tv wirelessly

[03:45] <Rallias> What can I use to stream music from my homes music server to my cell phone?
[03:45] <BlackAngelPR> okay guys here is the image http://imagebin.org/231589
[03:45] <Baralabite> I don't know exactly, what is the "OS" of the phone?
[03:45] <Baralabite> VLC perhaps?
[03:45] <Rallias> Android
[03:46] <yekoms> use vlc.. ;)
[03:46] <Baralabite> I'm ignorant in such matters, but take a look at VLC
[03:46] <yekoms> theres a vlc app for android.
[03:46] <BlackAngelPR> already deleted windows partition now i want ubuntu to take the entired space :p
[03:46] <Rallias> VLC doesn't run on my phone.
[03:46] <gr33n7007h> mplayer and nc
[03:46] <yekoms> then i have no idea.
[03:46] <Rallias> Can I control that from my phone?
[03:46] <Baralabite> I'd just take a look at vlc a bit more closely myself, but again, I'm ignorant in such matters
[03:46] <sycho123321> use tightvnc or ultravnc one of the works on android
[03:47] <gr33n7007h> true
[03:47] <sycho123321> anyone know any good linux mirroing to apple tv wirelessly
[03:47] <evoke> vlc has an arm distro
[03:47] <Rallias> evoke An ARM7 distro, not an ARM6 distro.
[03:47] <evoke> not to wander too far OT
[03:47] <Rallias> IIRC
[03:48] <evoke> whoops; yes

[03:48] <BlackAngelPR> msg ubottu http://imagebin.org/231589
[03:48] <Rallias> BlackAngelPR Is your / key broken?
[03:49] <Baralabite> BlackAngelPR, Not sure if you know, but Ubottu is a bot
[03:49] <L3top> sycho123321: that is also not a coherent question... think about rephrasing it.
[03:49] <wilee-nilee> BlackAngelPR, You have to use a live cd of ubuntu of gparted move the extended sdb2 all the way to the left then do the same with the sdb5, you will ned to right click the partions to get the resize option, on the sdb2 do it on the left side of the panel where it lists the partitions as the area is this in the graphic part, Not sure why the swap shows unknown is this encrypted?
[03:49] <wilee-nilee> or gparted*
[03:50] <n2i> Hi all!
[03:50] <n2i> I have some trouble with Network Manager services.
[03:50] <Baralabite> hello!
[03:50] <evoke> n2i: have had trouble here too; what's up
[03:50] <n2i> That is, it freeze my system everywhere start/stop it!
[03:50] <wilee-nilee> BlackAngelPR, as well I suspect you will have to reload the mbr to get this to boot, if you are encrypted I would get confirmation you can resize and still be good.
[03:50] <XiaolinDraconis> sycho123321, what do you want
[03:51] <n2i> I've got this both on Gentoo and Ubuntu
[03:51] <n2i> :(
[03:51] <yekoms> n2i, the network-manager applet?
[03:52] <wilee-nilee> BlackAngelPR, I don't PM, don't just assume people will. ;)
[03:52] <evoke> n2i: and does it eventually unfreeze?
[03:52] <yekoms> i think hes got one or more wifi mgrs loaded. causing conflicts
[03:53] <wilee-nilee> every PM turns into a gab fest, If I want to talk I will go to a bar.
[03:53] <n2i_1> Sorry, my network had been disconnected awhile
[03:53] <evoke> n2i: yekoms suggested you might have multiple wifi mgrs, does it eventually unfreeze?
[03:54] <Baralabite> What is X11 exactly (Mac), is it the equivalent of the X server?
[03:54] <evoke> Yes
[03:54] <yekoms> network-manager locked my system up due to wifimgr that i installed.
[03:54] <yekoms> X11 is the X server.
[03:54] <Baralabite> So, an open port, which is X11 would be remove desktop?
[03:54] <Baralabite> *remote
[03:55] <yekoms> if you allow remote desktop sharing, yes.
[03:55] <Baralabite> I've just scanned my mac, and port 6000 is open with the name X11 on it
[03:55] <Baralabite> Hmm, okay, thanks :)
[03:55] <Baralabite> -enlightened-
[03:55] <sycho123321> does any body know any good linux to apple tv mirroring software
[03:55] <yekoms> you can get the head of that port with NC or HEAD?
[03:55] <gr33n7007h> haha!
[03:55] <Jordan_U> Baralabite: Generally you do remote X through ssh for security...
[03:55] <yekoms> remote desktop uses 6000
[03:55] <lolgolflol> I am newbie for ubuntu, I wonder if add size in partition root without reinstall.Can I do?
[03:55] <yekoms> or VNC port if your using that as backend.
[03:56] <Baralabite> Jordan_U okay, thanks, but it isn't my laptop, it's my sister's laptop... She just doesn't know I'm experimenting with it
[03:56] <rhett> hi, I just plugged in a dell 30 inch dvi monitor, I cI only get 2 resolution settings 2560×1600 or 1280x800
[03:56] <rhett> how do I get something in between?
[03:56] <yekoms> lolgolflol, is your slice logical or fixed?
[03:56] <yekoms> rhett, set the mods in xorg.conf
[03:56] <sycho123321> does any body know any good linux to apple tv mirroring software
[03:56] <yekoms> modes*
[03:56] <rhett> when I tried using everett@rdk:/etc/X11$ xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
[03:56] <rhett> everett@rdk:/etc/X11$ xrandr --addmode DVI-0 "1680x1050_60.00"
[03:56] <yekoms> dont do that. use a pastebin.
[03:56] <yekoms> maybe your TV dont support inbetween.
[03:56] <rhett> i could see the setting, but then it turned black when I tried to switch it
[03:57] <sycho123321> me?
[03:57] <lolgolflol> yekoms, what are those?
[03:57] <yekoms> then your video card, or TV wont support it.
[03:57] <evoke> !pastebin | rhett
[03:57] <yekoms> fixed means you cant resize, logical means its unfixed partition, means you can grow or shrink it.
[03:58] <somsip> !who | yekoms
[03:59] <kunji> lolgolflol: maybe, it depends on if you can shrink an adjacent partition or not, look at the documentation for gparted
[03:59] <wilee-nilee> lolgolflol, You have a partitioned not a wubi, and what is your definition of root is it a seperate partition from home?
[03:59] <yekoms> somsip, i forget to hit the setnick button..:/
[03:59] <Jordan_U> yekoms: Being logical vs primary doesn't determine if a partition can or cannot be resized.
[04:00] <yekoms> fixed = must be resized on the low level end, which you end up losing all data.
[04:00] <linocisco> hi I have a folder of 17 MB. I want to zip or reduced to one file with size less than 5MB, is it possible?
[04:00] <evoke> linocisco: with text, probably. Binary files, mileage varies.
[04:00] <Baralabite> Hex?
[04:01] <Jordan_U> yekoms: You're using terms that, at least as far as I know, have no formal meaning in the area of partitioning.
[04:01] <kunji> yekoms: logical vs. primary does not correspond with unfixed vs. fixed, I don't recall fixed having a defined meaning though
[04:01] <lolgolflol> thank you all.
[04:02] <kunji> lolgolflol: np, I would just recommend doing a backup before trying anything
[04:02]  * wilee-nilee put yekom in ignore a while ago, it was not worth seeing the text
[04:02] <yekoms> fixed is a old term, i first learned of it when i was installing windows ME
[04:02] <yekoms> then again, people used partition magic..
[04:02] <linocisco> evoke, yes. what ever. I would like to know how to compress to get minimum size.
[04:03] <gr33n7007h> zip -9 file file
[04:04] <gr33n7007h> then file $file
[04:04] <Jordan_U> lolgolflol: You can usually resize a partition to make it larger without resizing, how difficult it is (and how long it will take) can depend on many factors. If you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" we can give you an idea of what you can do with your specific configuration.
[04:04] <kunji> yekoms: I don't think it's relevant here, as I don't think it exists anymore (the term that is, not really sure what it's supposed to mean, as I don't know any scenario where expanding would necessarily cause data loss, maybe it was jargon for partition magic didn't bother implementing a data preserving resize?).
[04:06] <yekoms> fixed means, 5GB will stay 5GB and cant be raised, or lowered. only way it can be changed is repartition via fdisk.
[04:06] <yekoms> but this was years ago.
[04:06] <gr33n7007h> wtf
[04:07] <Bing-sdu> #help
[04:07] <yekoms> when using the wubi.exe when using the guided selection, how does it part the drive?
[04:07] <kunji> yekoms: hmm, that would be situational I would guess though, based on other factors, like whether or not there is adjacent free space?  That is, I don't think it would be a property of the partition itself, but of the methods available for modifying it.
[04:07] <Bing-sdu> anybody use amsn
[04:07] <Bing-sdu> ?
[04:08] <kunji> yekoms: I believe the wubi.exe does not part the drive, it runs inside of the windows partition
[04:08] <yekoms> when XP came out i tried to grow my ubuntu slice, and i lost everything and i used a gpart guide.
[04:08] <Bing-sdu> does it support video?
[04:08] <yekoms> then how does wubi select a drive to part for linux?
[04:08] <xangua> Bing-sdu: no msn client except for the official one does
[04:09] <Bing-sdu> but it can't use video....i use 10.10
[04:09] <kunji> yekoms: that's why I recommended a backup (but that loss is not the intended behaviour, gparted has improved quite a bit since then), and the wubi does not select a drive to part for linux
[04:09] <Bing-sdu> maybe version too old?
[04:10] <yekoms> then when using wubi where is linux dropped too?
[04:10] <yekoms> remaining space of windows?
[04:10] <kunji> yekoms: I believe the wubi installer creates a virtual drive for ubuntu (akin to what virtualbox does)
[04:10] <yekoms> then how do you increase the size of ubuntu virtual drive?
[04:11] <Bing-sdu> i want video talk with other,but it implies version not support
[04:11] <Jordan_U> yekoms: Wubi creates a file within the Windows filesystem (in C:\\wubi\disks\root.disk if I remember correctly).
[04:11] <kunji> yekoms: There is a maximum size, but the file is resized on the fly until it reaches that
[04:11] <yekoms> how do you change the file limit?
[04:11] <yekoms> after you've used the windows ubuntu installer?
[04:11] <Jordan_U> kunji: No, it is not resized on the fly. The size is set when the file is created.
[04:12] <kunji> Ah, thanks for the correction Jordan_U, I was thinking it would be like the default virtualbox ones, my bad
[04:12] <kunji> yekoms: you probably can't change it after installing then
[04:13] <Jordan_U> yekoms: You follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk and it can also be done in-place, though I haven't ever seen any documentation explaining how to do so.
[04:15] <yekoms> thanks.
[04:15] <yekoms> i think i understand the wubi a little better.
[04:16] <J11> after changing partitions, how can I make sure the MBR of sda points to the grub /boot of sdc2?
[04:16] <Baralabite> Hmm.. This is working well.... I've made a script that detects all computers on the network, next part is add them to the ACL of the router if they should not be on the network...
[04:17] <Baralabite> can you ssh into routers? I hear most routers run linux...
[04:17] <yekoms> you can if your router supports openwrt.
[04:17] <Jordan_U> J11: Re-run grub-install (how you do that depends on your current situation). Are you currently booted from a LiveCD/USB?
[04:18] <J11> yes from a livecd
[04:18] <yekoms> then it should be install-grub /dev/sdc2
[04:18] <yekoms> or chroot to the sdc2 installed linux and issue install-grub, then select the drive VIA bios.
[04:18] <J11> but would that install the MBR in the sdc disk or the sda disk?
[04:18] <Baralabite> Can you boot a computer from a network?
[04:18] <gr33n7007h> the most knowledgeable in the room are actionParsnip, L3top Jordan_U IdleOne  just to name a few keep up the good support ;)
[04:18] <Baralabite> Like physicallyy disconnect them without the router?
[04:19] <yekoms> J11, depends, what harddrive is selected to boot when PC power is turned on?
[04:19] <Baralabite> Well, not pysically, I mean, can you kick them from wifi
[04:19] <J11> the sda one
[04:19] <Jordan_U> yekoms: No, it would most definitely not be "install-grub /dev/sdc2" not even close. Please don't simply try to guess commands / advice, or if you're doing so at least make that clear.
[04:20] <Jordan_U> J11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot is my preffered method.
[04:20] <rsser> hi, I'm running ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.x.x when I write the command hwinfo --framebuffer I'm getting this error message: > hal.1: read hal dataprocess 10559: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-errors.c line 282.
[04:20] <rsser> why ?
[04:20] <rsser> how to fix it?
[04:21] <yekoms> go ahead Jordan_U, if i was using a liveCD i would mount --bind where i wanted grub to be, then do install-grub.
[04:23] <Jordan_U> yekoms: The command is "grub-install" and the device argument that you pass to grub-install specifies where grub's boot sector should be installed, it does not specify where the boot partition is. You were wrong in multiple ways, and installing grub's boot sector to a partition often leads to users accidentily overwriting their Windows bootloader. It was bad advice, please be more careful in the future.
[04:24] <yekoms> i dont expect people here to be using ubuntu along side windows, and if they are, they should state its a dualboot. and if they are dual booting they cant be using windows loader can they?
[04:25] <duhamel> im dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 with windows bootloader
[04:25] <yekoms> wow.
[04:25] <yekoms> guess people like windows due to its user friendly setup.
[04:25] <BlackAngelPR> virtualizing windows 7 on ubuntu will allow you to play games ? did some one had try this yet XD ?
[04:25] <Baralabite> What's wrong with it?
[04:25] <Baralabite> BlackAngelPR, using VirtualBox or Wine?
[04:26] <yekoms> BlackAngelPR, Wine or VBox?
[04:26] <BlackAngelPR> i just delete windows 7 from my other part microsoft dont play well with others
[04:26] <Baralabite> I can play Age of Empires3 using Wine, but if you install windows7 inside birtualbox, you can do pretty much anything
[04:26] <BlackAngelPR> virtual box
[04:26] <Baralabite> Yeah
[04:26] <yekoms> virtualbox sucks for gaming..
[04:26] <Baralabite> It should work fine with VirtualBox, mybe a bit slower
[04:26] <BlackAngelPR> dam
[04:26] <BlackAngelPR> well what computer do you guys and girls have? LOL
[04:26] <L3top> rsser: that error occurs with all commands from hwinfo. you can follow a command with 2>/dev/null if you don't want to see it... but it is not unique to you...
[04:26] <Baralabite> Since you are running 2OSs at once instead of one, it slows the computer down for both
[04:26] <BlackAngelPR> i gues depends of the specs right?
[04:27] <Baralabite> Yeah
[04:27] <yekoms> i can never get it to run smooth, and i got a 8 core 3.1GHZ with 16GB of ram, and it runs like 16bit with 255mhz with 16mb of ram.
[04:27] <BlackAngelPR> wow
[04:27] <BlackAngelPR> XD
[04:27] <Baralabite> If you have a computer with  16GB of ram, and give 8GB to VirtualBox, you probably wouldn't have an issue
[04:27] <msmith0957> Hey, I'm having some strange problems with my wifi card. It works fine in W7, but for some reason on ubuntu, I can only get ipv6 to work; no ipv4 address. ie. the web more or less doesn't function :/
[04:27] <BlackAngelPR> still i want windows out of my computer it gives lots of problem like halting etc when use in dual boot it get my nervs
[04:27] <Baralabite> Well, the web AFAIK relies on ipv4, if that's not woorking...
[04:27] <yekoms> Baralabite, i gave my windows vbox img 100% usage and it didnt work right. all i wanted to play was UT2004
[04:27] <gr33n7007h> yekoms, thats shut fly out the roof
[04:28] <Baralabite> Well, again, I'm ignorant, I don't play many (if any) games
[04:28] <duhamel> I was wondering how i would go about updating gMTP 1.3.1 to 1.3.3 as it is not in the software center.
[04:28] <yekoms> gr33n7007h, do what?
[04:28] <duhamel> any help would be greatly apreciated
[04:28] <yekoms> i play games on the xbox..but im getting off topic. ill wait for issues before i speak again.
[04:28] <msmith0957> Baralabite: some sites are working, but anything requiring SSL is a no-go for the most part. ifconfig shows only ipv6 address, not getting ipv4 address at all
[04:29] <L3top> what is the hardware msmith0957
[04:29] <Baralabite> Well, again, I'm ignorant :P I'm only 14 after all!
[04:29] <Baralabite> I know very little about Ubuntu
[04:29] <user4>  does anyone know if the firefox 16 in synaptic has the critical vulnerabilities or if it's been patched?
[04:29] <yekoms> user4, check the changelog.
[04:29] <BlackAngelPR> use chrome is faster any way XD
[04:29] <L3top> giving 100% to vbox will make the host os unstable, including the vbox. It warns you about that.
[04:29] <yekoms> LOL ^^
[04:29] <msmith0957> L3top: this is a Intel N adapter, 5300 according to lspci. Its a Dell XPS 1640
[04:30] <BlackAngelPR> true L3top
[04:30] <yekoms> L3top, i know that.
[04:30] <user4> yekoms mozilla change log?
[04:30] <Baralabite> Yes user4
[04:30] <yekoms> i got a VPS that has access to 100% of cpu/mem.
[04:30] <Baralabite> It should mention of they change it
[04:30] <yekoms> and when its loaded, the system host NEVER has load.
[04:30] <IdleOne> !ot
[04:30] <user4> mozilla says its fixed but I don't know if the repo has the old version or patched version
[04:30] <msmith0957> yekoms: if the system host doesnt have any load, i dont think it could run the VM ;)
[04:31] <Baralabite> repo? Which repo?
[04:31] <IdleOne> user4: apt-get changelog package-name
[04:31] <yekoms> user4, compair the versions of the repo and the changelog.
[04:31] <Baralabite> If it's the official repo, it should be patched methinks
[04:31] <BlackAngelPR> anyone had try 12.10 yet? and whats the deal with the option on the login to do remote?
[04:31] <yekoms> msmith0957, my VPS is checking over 100 proxies a minute, would you like to see the system load of the VPS ? i'll bet you the uptime reports all 0.00's
[04:31] <gr33n7007h> like gnome 2 to much
[04:32] <duhamel> does anybody know of a relatively easy way of transfering files from my ubuntu machine to my Samsung galaxy s3 sd card?
[04:32] <L3top> are you trying to make it connect via N msmith0957?
[04:32] <linocisco> evoke, yes. what ever. I would like to know how to compress to get minimum size.
[04:32] <yekoms> duhamel, either FTP app, or USB cord. or mount the SDCard.
[04:32] <BlackAngelPR> get the sd card on your machine and just drag it what more easier than that?
[04:32] <msmith0957> L3top: nope, not 'trying' to, but its an N router, not sure how i can force my adapter otherwise
[04:33] <msmith0957> L3top: i could i suppose, force b/g from the router, but that defeats the purpose of having an N router !
[04:33] <L3top> There is a known problem with that card and ubuntu... cannnot connect over anything other than G.
[04:33] <duhamel> ftp is possible but not ideal. the problem is android 4.04 uses MTP instead of USM
[04:33] <msmith0957> L3top: link please ?
[04:33] <yekoms> i hope your wifi card accepts N..or set your router to b/g aswell
[04:33] <yekoms> msmith0957, ^
[04:33] <L3top> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/701827
[04:34] <L3top> oops
[04:34] <blackshirt> what is mtp ? Usm?
[04:34] <L3top> thats not the valid one...
[04:34] <msmith0957> yekoms: yes, it does N ;) and of course, N is backwards compat with b/g and in my case also a ;)
[04:34] <Baralabite> No matter how hard I try I have never gotten FTP working on my server reliably -_-
[04:34] <duhamel> i don't have an sd card reader on my computer or i would use that?
[04:34] <yekoms> msmith0957, have you tried compiling the windows driver for the wifi card?
[04:34] <duhamel> what about adb? would a push command work?
[04:34] <yekoms> Baralabite, try vsftpd then.
[04:34] <Baralabite> I hhave
[04:35] <Baralabite> several times
[04:35] <msmith0957> L3top: since i'm currently in ubuntu, i can't even view that page since their host doesnt have ipv6 lol
[04:35] <BlackAngelPR> any usb cable to your computer from the tablet then select on the android the option mount ?
[04:35] <yekoms> duhamel, adb requires USB cord.
[04:35] <Baralabite> yekoms: I've tried PureFTP, vsftpd, proftpd, and more...
[04:35] <Baralabite> yekoms: I know what the issue is, it's something to do with the permissions, and shell
[04:35] <msmith0957> yekoms: no.. dont quite understand what you mean by that. if its written for windows, i dont believe i can make it work in linux
[04:35] <yekoms> what was your issue with vsftpd? install and edit /etc/vsftpd.conf and your done.
[04:35] <yekoms> you can compile the drivers for linux with ndisgen.
[04:36] <yekoms> ndisgen-gtk is the GTK front end for it msmith0957
[04:36] <Baralabite> msmith0957: You can make lots of windows apps work on linux
[04:36] <L3top> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1605338  there are several confirmed bugs on this... but all unassigned.
[04:36] <J11> Jordan_U: so, does the livecd being 32 or 64 bit matter like it said? And how do I find out which one my livecd is?
[04:36] <msmith0957> yekoms: but lsmod shows i'm using iwlwifi i believe
[04:36] <BlackAngelPR> Baralabite, what about file zilla server?  if you cant make it run its mostly because you dont know too much of ips etc it takes little practice
[04:36] <L3top> msmith0957: ^
[04:36] <duhamel> i get that dude. i have the usb hooked up. But Samsung Gs3 uses mtp so i can't transfer without gMTP 1.3.3 which i doin't have.
[04:36] <Baralabite> BlackAngelPR: I didn't think it worked under ubuntu...
[04:36] <msmith0957> L3top: I'll take a look at those, gota boot into windows first :/ thanks
[04:36] <Baralabite> Even with wine
[04:37] <yekoms> duhamel, then install AndFTP on your tablet, and use ftp protocal.
[04:37] <Chamunks> anyone know if fglrx has a support irc?
[04:37] <XiaolinDraconis> im going to boot back into ubuntu, is there a way to figure what is creating the tmpfs?
[04:37] <Chamunks> I know not many people here know about it.
[04:37] <duhamel> i don't have a tablet.
[04:37] <XiaolinDraconis> i checked fstab its not in there
[04:37] <tr1tek> how do you enable the login gui?
[04:37] <yekoms> is it a phone duhamel ?
[04:37] <Baralabite> I suppose I'll give FTp another shot... ;/
[04:37] <researcher> How can this error be corrected? Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
[04:37] <researcher>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[04:37] <researcher>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[04:37] <researcher>        dmesg | tail  or so
[04:37] <L3top> Chamunks: #ati what is your issue though?
[04:37] <FloodBot1> researcher: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:37] <duhamel> yeah.
[04:37] <yekoms> same difference.
[04:37] <phix> tr1tek: for Ubuntu Desktop?
[04:38] <yekoms> just install andftp and use the ftp protocall. i do my data mgnt like this duhamel
[04:38] <Chamunks> L3top, I have two saphire radeon hd 6850's in crossfire
[04:38] <user4> I see no mention of any critical bugs via apt-get changelog package-name. The Mozilla download page for Firefox still offers version 15 so I assume the current version of firefox in the repo is the unpatched version
[04:38] <tr1tek> yes desktop
[04:38] <Jordan_U> J11: For this particular method, if the installed system is 64 bit then the LiveCD needs to also be 64 bit. If the installed system is 32 bit then either a 32 bit or 64 bit liveCD will work. You can find out if the system you're booted from is 64 bit by running "uname -m" in a terminal ("x86_64" means 64 bit, "i686" or "i386" means 32 bit).
[04:38] <XiaolinDraconis> i knew a guy named randy duhamel
[04:38] <user4> thanks for the help
[04:38] <yekoms> welcome.
[04:38] <Baralabite> ... ... ... I just logged into FTP with my username and password, no quarms....
[04:38] <Baralabite> :3
[04:38] <duhamel> i don't want to use ftp because of data.
[04:38] <researcher> Please help with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272579/   I want to recover data from older hard disk
[04:39] <Baralabite> Didn't even change any settings
[04:39] <Chamunks> L3top, ubuntu does not recognize this video power and i want to know if its worth my time to bother trying to make it happen or just take the second card and throw it in an old box im using as a nas thats rarely accessed.
[04:39] <phix> tr1tek: It should be there by default, is this a fresh install? or have you updated it?
[04:39] <phix> duhamel: what does that mean? because of data?
[04:39] <wilee-nilee> duhamel, If you have 64 bit. https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro/+archive/backports/+build/3580967
[04:39] <L3top> not sure about crossfire Chamunks... best to check in #ati
[04:39] <tr1tek> i tried o install a video card and i guess i messed up because now it shows the black screen with login
[04:40] <XiaolinDraconis> something is creating a tmpfs file, how can i find out what that is
[04:40] <tr1tek> its a fairly new install had it for 3 months
[04:40] <L3top> tr1tek: what kind of video card?
[04:40] <Baralabite> vsftpd is working :D Didn't have to flip any settings or 'nutin
[04:40] <phix> tr1tek: ok you probably need to recreate xorg config files.  Reboot your computer, choose single / rescue mode, then choose the option to recreate xorg configuration
[04:40] <yekoms> told you Baralabite
[04:40] <phix> Baralabite: I like proftpd
[04:40] <Chamunks> L3top, yeah I imagined as much I'm basically looking for someone to say that no one really has any idea how to make it work reliably so i can justify making a gaming rig out of that NAS box for my girlfriend when she comes to visit because gaming with her mac and my linux makes gaming a constant up hill battle.
[04:41] <XiaolinDraconis> how do i check what network traffic is going on during the first couple minutes of boot?
[04:41] <tr1tek> ok i'l give that a shot thanks
[04:41] <Baralabite> It was always a permissions problem, I know that much
[04:41] <duhamel> Thanks so much wilee-nilee
[04:41] <Baralabite> I must have gotten it working last time I was working on it, but forgot about it
[04:41] <duhamel> Data charges phix
[04:41] <phix> Chamunks: nope, linux doesn't make it an uphill battle, gaming companies do.  I have heard that steam is looking into created a linux port in the near future
[04:42] <Baralabite> I tried loading steam under wine, didn't work too well :3
[04:42] <wilee-nilee> duhamel,  here is the actual ppa. https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro/+archive/backports
[04:42] <phix> duhamel: ok, wouldnt you get that any way if you are transferring between a computer and your phone?  I am assuming that is what you are doing?
[04:42] <Chamunks> phix, you're exactly right but the combination between linux and mac is just impossible to find a release pirated or not to play together.
[04:42] <Chamunks> phix and what little time I have with her these days I would like to get down to some serious gaming together.
[04:42] <duhamel> that allready worked it's done. thanks again wilee-nilee
[04:43] <phix> Chamunks: not really, just run it in wine, I have had good success with many games that way
[04:43] <Chamunks> or why even have a gamer girlfriend in the first place right?!
[04:43] <duhamel> phix: not if im using a usb
[04:43] <phix> Chamunks: heh, gaming hey, is that what you call it :)
[04:43] <wilee-nilee> duhamel, No problem I have a nexus 7 that was fine with the stock gMTP, lets see how this one works here.
[04:43] <Chamunks> phix, i guess wine has a mac client
[04:43] <L3top> Chamunks: I believe it should work.  I see lots of older stuff on it.
[04:43] <phix> duhamel: ummm your phone have wireless? you have wireless setup in your house?  that wont cost you a thing
[04:43] <Chamunks> L3top, which crossfire?
[04:44] <duhamel> no wireless.
[04:44] <Chamunks> L3top, I just dont know why its just not working.
[04:44] <XiaolinDraconis> steam for linux is being beta tested right now
[04:44] <phix> Chamunks: ummmm yeah, but there are other programs you can get for mac too plus native ports to it
[04:44] <yekoms> duhamel, then your only option left is mounting just the sdcard since usb dont work, and you dont have a wifi router.
[04:44] <phix> duhamel: setup wireless imo or just plug the phone in USB and enable mass storage mode on your phone, done
[04:44] <Chamunks> phix, not sure what else I'd call it.
[04:44] <L3top> Chamunks: http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2336  its been working for years... can't imagine that they would have DROPPED the ability to use crossfire in linux without pheronix kicking up a hissy fit.
[04:45] <phix> Chamunks: nm
[04:45] <duhamel> there is no mass storage mode phix just MTP
[04:45] <yekoms> what size is the card?
[04:45] <Chamunks> phix, sorry i didnt get the reference i suppose.  Ohhh yes hah well er herm
[04:45] <Chamunks> gaming yes gaming
[04:45] <phix> duhamel: MTP?
[04:45] <phix> duhamel: your phone have bluetooth?
[04:45] <duhamel> obviously you don't kow what's going on here yekoms.
[04:46] <phix> Chamunks: heh
[04:46] <duhamel> yeah but my motherboard doesn't
[04:46] <Baralabite> Can you make some sort of "Drop Box" thing for FTP on Ubuntu
[04:46] <yekoms> ive never had an issue mounting a microSD card. but okay duhamel
[04:46] <Chamunks> phix its hard to read innuendo in a tech channel lol.
[04:46] <yekoms> except for microSD cards over 16GB.
[04:46] <BlackAngelPR> ^^ wow this guys its making it impossible :p
[04:46] <phix> Chamunks: I mean if I had precious little time with my girlfriend I would do other things besides gaming so I assume that was a euthinism :)
[04:46] <yekoms> !ot | Chamunks
[04:46] <phix> or innuendo, what ever it is called ;P
[04:46] <yekoms> :)
[04:46] <phix> yekoms: thnx <3
[04:46] <duhamel> have you ever had a mp3 or phone that only uses mtp, not ums?

[05:05] <steven-> lightdm stop

[05:05] <Jordan_U> MarconM: Why aren't you using the Additional Drivers utility to install the Nvidia drivers?
[05:06] <MarconM> jordan: ?
[05:06] <MarconM> Jordan_U: ???? what u mean " additional drivers
[05:06] <MarconM> nvidia-current-updates
[05:07] <Jordan_U> MarconM: The correct way to install Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu is to use the "Additional Drivers" utility, which you can get to by searching for "drivers" in the Unity search bar.
[05:07] <MarconM> hunm
[05:07] <MarconM> ok
[05:08] <MarconM> it didn find my video card
[05:08] <magn3ts> Oooh, I got one: `sudo service mongodb start` succeeds. `sudo service mongodb status` fails, and mongo DIES immediately after launching
[05:08] <magn3ts> The kicker? THE LOG DIR IS EMPTY?! How? Why? Any thoughts? I don't know how to debug something w/o logs, lol.
[05:08] <MarconM> o.o
[05:09] <magn3ts> After `service` appears to start mongo (it starts, but dies), `service [mongodb] status` reports "unknown serivce: mongodb"
[05:09] <magn3ts> now how does that make any sense?
[05:10] <Jordan_U> MarconM: Do you have an onboard card as well (Nvidia Optimus)?

[05:15] <MarconM> !patience
[05:15] <Jordan_U> !ot | steven-
[05:16] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: If you're referring to /var/run being setup as a tmpfs that is not unusual, and certainly doesn't indicate that you've been attacked.
[05:16] <Aravoth> finally got a true dual install going here!
[05:16] <steven-> i know, but bumblebee .. was just to easy, sorry
[05:16] <XiaolinDraconis>  Jordan_U is,that,what,you,see,in,the,picture?
[05:16] <Aravoth> And Ubuntu is way more responsive installed this way as opposed to WUBI
[05:16] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, thats,normal?
[05:17] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Yes.
[05:17] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, it,wasnt,doing,that,a,day,ago
[05:18] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: The default for Ubuntu is to have /var/run be a tmpfs. I don't know why your file manager decided to start displaying this tmpfs mount, but it's perfectly normal for it to be there.
[05:18] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, it,did,make,boot,time,much,faster,but,memory,is,at,80%,on,startup,which,is,how,i,learned,it,was,happening
[05:19] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Also, in general your first reaction to something happening that you don't understand shouldn't be to think that you have been "attacked".
[05:22] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, the,sudden,creation,of,that,directory,and,it,including,networking,files,lead,me,to,that,line,of,reasoning
[05:22] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: The directory wasn't suddenly created, it has always been there.
[05:23] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, it,was,not,there,yesterday,and,my,ram,has,not,been,at,80%,during,startup,ever
[05:24] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: If that directory hadn't been there yesterday then your Ubuntu installation wouldn't have been able to successfully boot at all.
[05:25] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, based,on,what,you,stated,that,was,in,/var/run
[05:25] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, not,/run
[05:26] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: /var/run/ is a symlink to /run/.
[05:27] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: I am used to /var/run as /run/ is somewhat newer, so I said the wrong path out of habit.
[05:27] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, im,curious,as,to,why,it,started,either,caching,or,failing,to,release,the,cache
[05:28] <magn3ts> is your space key broken? yikes?
[05:28] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: As to that I have no idea. How did you determine that /run was using so much memory?
[05:28] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah,i,forgot,to,change,a,script,back,after,modifying,for,arch
[05:29] <dragomir> Hi everyone - quick question. I have a mb pro i5 running 8GB ram. I want to dual boot ubuntu. Should I do 32 or 64 bit?
[05:29] <magn3ts> I understand what WUBI is going for, but it almost makes things too easy
[05:29] <magn3ts> dragomir: 64bit
[05:29] <magn3ts> dragomir: 100% 64bit
[05:29] <dragomir> thanks magn3ts
[05:29] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, someone,here,asked,me,to,check,top,when,that,didnt,show,any,high,useage,they,suggested,i,may,have,a,tmpfs,being,used
[05:30] <magn3ts> What's Xiaolin's original prob/
[05:30] <dragomir> magn3ts: do you have a suggestion on which version of ubuntu?
[05:30] <dragomir> wanting to get back into nix.  immediately but with a Mac, you should check the Wiki.
[05:30] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Please pastebin the output of "df -h".
[05:30] <XiaolinDraconis> anyone,know,how,to,reset,xmodmap,without,rebooting?
[05:30] <magn3ts> dragomir: the wiki has very good info on how well each mac works under ubuntu (down to the year revision, etc, etc)
[05:31] <dragomir> great info - thanks again. This is one of the main reasons nix is soo powerful. Always helpful and easy going community.
[05:31] <dragomir> thanks again everyone, until next time. Take care.
[05:32] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Also, please pastebin the output of "free -m".
[05:33] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, the,tmpfs,is,set,to,use,10%,its,maximum,is,195,i,boot,with,400Mb,cached,memory
[05:33] <bsmith093> i have a 300+mb block of text, that i want to grab the urls out oof, and paste, one to a line, in another file, any ideas?
[05:33] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: There is nothing wrong with cached memory, in fact it's a good thing.
[05:34] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, sudden,unwarranted,system,changes,are,disturbing
[05:36] <XiaolinDraconis> http://pastebin.com/0X2nyjcJ

[05:40] <Jordan_U> !ram | XiaolinDraconis
[05:41] <ghostnik11> does anyone know how to fix the choppy video playback of 720p mkv video files, as when i use mplayer or vlc i get choppy images while trying to watch video
[05:41] <aguadito> has to be your video card if you don't experience choppy playback in other os'
[05:42] <aguadito> er, minus the don't
[05:42] <aguadito> usually it's xbmc that there's slow playback if anythign
[05:42] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i,understand,a,little,about,how,linux,handles,ram,the,problem,is,why,this,suddenly,started,happening,im,guessing,maybe,ureadahead,is,the,reason
[05:42] <ghostnik11> aguadito: i am using a nvidia geforce 6150 le and have the latest nvidia driver installed from their website
[05:43] <aum__> i am to configure plymouth , how can i Add "break=init" to the kernel command-line...
[05:43] <aguadito> ghostnik11,  you have any other os' dual booted that have played back stuff fine with that video gcard?
[05:44] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, my,system,has,been,in,use,for,2,months,this,issue,is,very,new,also,in,4,years,of,using,linux,this,has,never,happened
[05:44] <ghostnik11> aguadito: well mplayer plays but you clearly see the frames slow down as i am watching a futbol match at 720p, the file is on my hard drive
[05:44] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: ureadahead may be the reason, but really there is no problem here. /run is hardly using any memory, and you have a good amount of memory free (where "cached" memory is what most people would call free, as it's available to be used the moment it's needed).
[05:44] <ghostnik11> aguadito: using vlc it goes choppy and color changes and you see blue patches? its mind blowing to me, as i have never seen anything like it
[05:45] <jlksdjflkj> hello guys
[05:45] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i,did,enjoy,the,fast,boot,today,but,it,would,be,nice,to,find,out,why,changes,are,suddenly,happening
[05:46] <ghostnik11> aguadito: on this machine i have puppy linux installed but can't get to it as i didn't set up grub properly, on the external where the file is i have it partitioned with a ubuntu 8.10 (greatest OS ever) think i should try it off the 8.10
[05:46] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, ill,bet,a,dollar,no,other,user,here,has,1gigram,magically,caching,50%
[05:46] <vadi2> I've installed the piwigo package and it did all the configuration, yet when I go to localhost, I only see the apache index page. How do I access piwigo?
[05:46] <wilee-nilee> ghostnik11, 8.10 is long end of life
[05:47] <aguadito> ghostnik11, i'm trying to figure out some way you can rule out certain things
[05:47] <aguadito> like bunk drivers
[05:47] <aguadito> fx if you had windows dualbooted and no playback issues then it would be your driver 100%
[05:48] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: My machine currently has 2 GiB in cached memory. Basically every file that is ever read will be put into cache, so if more than a GiB is read, more than a GiB will be cached.
[05:48] <ghostnik11> wilee-nilee: it could be end of life, its still the greates OS ever and if its life ended, it will rise again and shake off the rigamortis
[05:49] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: It may be that before you had a process temporarily use a lot of RAM, which would have pushed out the cache. This may actually be an improvement.
[05:49] <wilee-nilee> ghostnik11, THat me be your opinion but you have yet to mention a OS that is actually supported here.
[05:49] <wilee-nilee> may*
[05:49] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: If the value of "free" + cached RAM hasn't signifigantly decreased, you don't have a problem.
[05:49] <wilee-nilee> as a delusional as it is
[05:50] <mckinnley> If I add a script to rc.local it should run on start up right?
[05:51] <ghostnik11> wilee-nilee: lol, fine i will try it via ubuntu 8.10 and see if it works, and when it does, i will come back and tell you that ubuntu 8.10 is still alive even though it might not be supported. aguadito i have a feeling it will work, ubuntu 8.10 is like a fail safe for me, it always gets job done when i am in trouble with anything relating to computers
[05:51] <aguadito> :/ ok
[05:51] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, it,has,changed,drastically,since,2,days,ago
[05:54] <sasuke> hi guys, i have a bookmarks.html file i want to import it to konqueror webbrowser. Can anyone tell me how can i do this
[05:54] <magn3ts> Wait, how is Xiaolin checking their ram?
[05:54] <magn3ts> Is it confirmed that there IS something using physical memory like this?
[05:54] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Do you understand that it may have changed for the better?
[05:54] <magn3ts> also, I've been in and out of this room, sorry if I've missed something.
[05:55] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, yes,i,do,and,i,would,like,to,know,why
[05:55] <XiaolinDraconis> magn3ts, i,checked,multiple,ways,conky,plus,free,-m
[05:55] <magn3ts> can you give us the output of free (explicitly/verbosely)
[05:56] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Boot chart might give you some insight into your current boot, though I'm not sure how to figure out what was happening previously if nothing looks off now.
[05:56] <XiaolinDraconis> http://pastebin.com/v3EDTcyQ
[05:59] <XiaolinDraconis> ill,be,right,back,this,spacebar,thing,is,bugging,me
[06:00] <sasuke> hi , i have a bookmarks.html file i want to import it to konqueror webbrowser. Can anyone tell me how can i do this
[06:03] <magn3ts> That looks like 425/977 MB of mem free, no Jordan_U ?
[06:03] <magn3ts> Jordan_U: or am I reading that wrong?
[06:04] <Jordan_U> magn3ts: That's correct. And I basically explained as much to XiaolinDraconis (before they left).
[06:05] <magn3ts> Jordan_U: Yeah, I asked for the same reason you did and then explained (As I scroll up)
[06:05] <msmith0957> I've been doing some hunting trying to get my intel 5300 wifi n adapter to connect properly to my n router. my problem is that it cannot get an ipv4 address, while v6 is working ok. i found some interesting info in the syslogs that appears that my ipv4 requests are timing out. maybe someone here can help diagnose
[06:05] <magn3ts> Jordan_U: hopefully they either saw it or come back. I kind of figured that was what's up, especially since nothing else was amiss. (Though, now I wonder about top... idk about top, but htop makes the memory util very obvious... likely, graphically so)
[06:05] <msmith0957> oh and.. i'd paste something, but i cant find a pastebin that works in ipv6 :/
[06:06] <twitchie> !git > [x]
[06:06] <XiaolinDraconis> yay for xmodmap, saves me from having to buy a new keyboard
[06:08] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, how much memory should this /run folder be using?
[06:09] <XiaolinDraconis> is there a way to see what files are being cached?
[06:09] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: 996K is certainly not much.
[06:10] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, right clicking properties tells me 220Mb are being used
[06:10] <XiaolinDraconis> MB
[06:11] <XiaolinDraconis> with 200 free
[06:11] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: That's not what "df -h" says, and is not possible as the limit on that filesystem's size is 196 MiB on your machine.
[06:11] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i know at times the properties dialog isnt always truthful
[06:12] <XiaolinDraconis> 471 items seems accurate
[06:12] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: What specifically is concerning you at the moment? Because I and magn3ts both see nothing wrong.
[06:12] <silv3r_m00n> sometimes the printscreen button does not take a screenshot, like when a dropdown widget is open in some window, how to take screenshot then ?
[06:13] <ghostnik11> aguadito, I tried 8.10 and had problems now I turned on laptop that has dual boat with windows 7 and mint 13 to try
[06:13] <aguadito> if windows doesn't play it right then something other than driver's are afoot
[06:14] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, mainly i just wanna know where this change came from, it wasnt like this during the last 2 months, and ive made no significant changes other than security updates
[06:14] <Jordan_U> silv3r_m00n: You can open the GNOME Screenshot utility and have it take a screenshot after some number of seconds, during which time you can get the screen into the state you want to capture.
[06:14] <ghostnik11> Aguadito, yeah but this a different machine than what I was just on, this is a laptop and before I was on a desktop
[06:14] <silv3r_m00n> Jordan_U: thanks
[06:14] <Jordan_U> silv3r_m00n: You're welcome.
[06:15] <aguadito> ghostnik11, then what's the point?
[06:16] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Again, my guess is that you used to have something at boot which was taking up a lot of memory (probably more than it should have) but that is no longer happening (there is now *not* something eating up lots of memory). It's hard to tell though without having boot chart or other info from before.
[06:18] <ghostnik11> Aguadito, good point but I want to see if its the file or the driver like you said, if it plays in windows on laptop that means its the driver on desktop that's restricting playback
[06:18] <aguadito> but they're two completely different video cards
[06:18] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, 2 boot time changes have been made, my wallpaper was changed and now lightdm is set to show a black wallpaper, and a stopped using a conkylua script
[06:18] <aguadito> so you're not adequately narrowing down the issue
[06:19] <mavericksam> Ubuntu 12.04 lightdm login screen reappears after proving correct password. Any help ?
[06:20] <ghostnik11> Aguadito, I think your perfectly correct because it works perfectly on laptop via windows. So I am back to step one
[06:21] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, ok, since i have a much more pressing concern ill least the case of the mysterious cache alone, i just need to destroy my windows partition for now
[06:21] <aguadito> but your issue was on the desktop and to test whether that system's setup would play it on another OS
[06:21] <aguadito> now basically all you've done is rule out the file being the problem which was low on our list anyway right?
[06:22] <ghostnik11> Aguadito, yeah
[06:22] <ghostnik11> Aguadito, will be booting back up desktop
[06:23] <shankysv87> i'm having a visual issue with ubuntu. it has happened before but was fixed after an update, suddenly i turn my box back on and its doing it again. Issue: text is showing up where some of the letters appear to be cut off at the top.
[06:26] <shankysv87> tho now thinking about it, last time the text was cut off (this is in every aspect of the system, doesn't matter of application that i load. All are doing it. but its not every time. just some of the letters get consistently cut off. ) but last time i did the update, a restart was required to continue. So i restarted. Trying that again. will report back the update when i get back.
[06:28] <ghostnik11> aguadito: i think my graphics card has ability to run 720p video because when i use movie player or gnome player i think is its proper name, the video plays but you see moments when the players are running their heart out and they almost look like slow motion
[06:29] <shankysv87> turns out, after a restart, its fixed. sorry to bother. have a nice night. Still curious as to why it is doing that sometimes tho.
[06:29] <Padroni> Good morning people
[06:30] <shankysv87> good morning Padroni
[06:30] <Padroni> I'm a 'buntu noob with some questions if there's anyone on that can maybe help?
[06:30] <shankysv87> describe the issue.
[06:30] <vadi2> I've installed the piwigo package and it did all the configuration, yet when I go to localhost, I only see the apache index page. How do I access piwigo?
[06:31] <Padroni> No real Issue. I'm getting tired of fixing MS's software so I want to drop win7 and move to linux
[06:31] <Padroni> is there a way to import my Outlook data folder (with all my emails and stuff ) into whatever mail app is on ubuntu?
[06:31] <Padroni> that's the only real issue for me at this point
[06:32] <shankysv87> Thunderbird is the default email client.
[06:32] <Padroni> yeah i'm gonna swing it a miss on that - i hate thunderbird
[06:32] <ghostnik11> aguadito: even looked this up just now: http://www.nvidia.com/page/gpu_mobo.html
[06:32] <shankysv87> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/switching/C/preparing-email.html
[06:33] <shankysv87> that should help with configuring the client.
[06:33] <aguadito> Ghostnkill - your card certainly plays 720p
[06:33] <pratz> Hello guys
[06:33] <pratz> is there any command line tool to convert dwg to image ?
[06:33] <shankysv87> Padroni, you have a wide variety of email clients available in the ubuntu software center
[06:34] <magn3ts> XiaolinDraconis: (Jordan_U) you really have no need to fear the cache man
[06:34] <magn3ts> Now the CacheMAN is an evil monster, beware, but cache itself is no biggie
[06:34] <Padroni> Thank you, Shanky.  This seems to be what I was looking for.
[06:34] <shankysv87> if you find one that you prefer better, download it and then if you have questions, there is most likely a support page on the help.ubuntu.com site for more specific help
[06:34] <ghostnik11> aguadito: also just found out this about vlc and 720p = http://alikhan3.hubpages.com/hub/Solution-to-slow-Mp4-Playback-Problem
[06:36] <ghostnik11> aguadito: only thing the solution that person suggest, it seems from pics is for windows but that is interesting that vlc doesn't work well with low graphics card as the writer of that article pointed out. since my graphics i think would be considered on the low end and not a high powered graphics card
[06:37] <pratz> is there any command line tool to convert dwg to image ?
[06:39] <shankysv87> pratz, what are you using to create the dwg files in the first place?
[06:39] <aguadito> ghostnik11, if you have time and this issue concerns you enough throw on a windows partition and get to testin :P
[06:40] <shankysv87> usually in an CAD program, it has a tool built in to "export" and an option for image format instead.
[06:41] <shankysv87> pratz, if i have the name of the software you are using, i can find out if that option is available for you, otherwise i can continue to seek a viable converter.
[06:43] <ghostnik11> aguadito: i dislike windows, with a passion, also i figure it will work in windows, from google it shows that i am not the only person in linux universe with this issue but multiple people from different OS seem to have this problem or a similar problem like this
[06:43] <Kartagis> where can I adjust settings of screenshot tool (the one that takes screenshot when I hit PrintScreen)
[06:44] <shankysv87> Kartagis, click your windows looking key, and in the search type in "screenshot". Click on the program and it will take you to the settings area.
[06:44] <aguadito> ghostnik11,  try fiddling with hardware acceleration settings and stuff -- you may even find some modified driver that someone in the community has produced to fix such problems (unlikely but known to exist)
[06:45] <wilee-nilee> Kartagis, You can actually use the tool.
[06:45] <Kartagis> wilee-nilee: I'm using that for a region
[06:46] <ghostnik11> aguadito: will do
[06:46] <wilee-nilee> Kartagis, I would suspect you would have to get into the code.
[06:46] <ghostnik11> aguadito: thanks for the help
[06:46] <shankysv87> Kartagis, click your windows looking key, and in the search type in "screenshot". Click on the program and it will take you to the settings area.
[06:47] <Kartagis> shankysv87: is that the same as the one when I hit PrintScreen?
[06:47] <shankysv87> its the other part of that software.
[06:47] <shankysv87> if you press the printscreen button, it will save your screen, if you go like i instructed, it will be the settings area for that
[06:48] <XiaolinDraconis> magn3ts, i dont fear it anymore Jordan_U has put my mind at ease, it just bugs the hell outta me that changes have been made without authorization
[06:49] <XiaolinDraconis> where can i check and see what type of memory i have installed? i wish to upgrade it next week
[06:49] <Kartagis> yay! if I once use that tool and uncheck "include the pointer" and take a screenshot, the setting is saved. that's what I was looking for
[06:49] <pratz> shankysv87: those are just dwg file created by autocad
[06:50] <pratz> shankysv87: i have no idea about autocad , just need to convert dwg files into images (jpg, png, etc ..)
[06:50] <krababbel> pratz: seems vector converters do that
[06:50] <shankysv87> pratz, do you have the autocad software installed somewhere?
[06:51] <TJ-> XiaolinDraconis: "sudo dmidecode"
[06:51] <Kartagis> shankysv87++
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> guys i finally installed ubuntu 12.04 alone in the whole disk but i have grub showing up ,,,, had edited a line but still appears any idea?
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> here is the grub code
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> # For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> #   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
[06:51] <BlackAngelPR> GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[06:51] <FloodBot1> BlackAngelPR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:52] <TJ-> XiaolinDraconis: "sudo dmidecode -t memory" is specifically about the memory installed
[06:52] <TJ-> !pastebin > | BlackAngelPR
[06:52] <shankysv87> Kartagis, glad i was able to help
[06:52] <TJ-> !pastebin | BlackAngelPR
[06:53] <XiaolinDraconis> TJ-, thanks
[06:53] <BlackAngelPR> guys can you take a look of this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272696/
[06:53] <BlackAngelPR> i am trying to make grub not even show
[06:53] <BlackAngelPR> since Ubuntu its the only OS
[06:54] <msmith0957> so, been trying to debug my wifi card.. and it seems like the only thing i can find is that a lot of people reported it worked in some old kernel, and broke in recent builds
[06:54] <msmith0957> how should i go about getting said kernel version and trying it ?
[06:55] <TJ-> BlackAngelPR: The way GRUB works is, it saves a flag saying the PC started and  shutdown successfully. If that flag exists the grub menu won't show, if the flag doesn't exist, it will show the menu. Sometimes, the place that flag is written to (GRUB ENVIRONMENT) - which is a file - can't be written to by GRUB so the flag doesn't get saved
[06:56] <Jordan_U> BlackAngelPR: Can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/grubenv?
[06:58] <msmith0957> i think i basicaly want to get the kernel from lucid, and see if my wifi driver magicaly begins working
[06:58] <Jordan_U> TJ-: You have it a bit backwards, if the flag exists then the menu *is* shown. Also, grub writes the flag, and /etc/init.d/grub-common clears it.
[06:58] <msmith0957> is this doable ?
[06:58] <Jordan_U> !pm | BlackAngelPR
[06:58] <BlackAngelPR> TJ and Jordan the file /boot/grub/grubenv  had nothing
[06:59] <BlackAngelPR> only the header followed with # nothing else
[06:59] <TJ-> Jordan_U: Actually no. I met the issue on a device recently. If the GRUB environment has never been written (because the device it is supposedly on is read-only) the GRUB menu would repeatedly show.
[07:00] <BlackAngelPR> (-_^) little confusing
[07:00] <elixey> is there a way to undo the last install of software i ran qith apt-get
[07:00] <BlackAngelPR> since grup its just to tell where to boot from only right?
[07:00] <elixey> all the files listed in the apt-get history.log file that got installed as  aresult of my  apt-get command
