[07:06] <litropy> histo, so we're having him delete everything
[07:06] <histo> litropy: using > would put that as the only thing int he file
[07:06] <insomniac_lemon> histo: it says my sources.list file is malformed and it could not reach the repo (or something like that) and Chrome will fail to install.... removing the source repo stops this issue
[07:06] <litropy> histo, oh.
[07:06] <histo> litropy: do it the hard way if you want doesn't bother me.
[07:07] <Degru> subcool: delete the second nameserver. leave only <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:07] <histo> insomniac_lemon: can you paste.ubuntu.com your sources.list?
[07:07] <litropy> histo, I thought otherwise. Yoou're right. subcool, you can do it either way. <IP_ADDRESS> is just a backup.
[07:07] <terafl0ps> Degru: "No route to host" isn't a DNS error.
[07:07] <histo> litropy: using >> redirect appends
[07:07] <Degru> terafl0ps: then waht is it
[07:07] <litropy> histo, thx
[07:07] <boydoy> yes equivalents
[07:07] <histo> litropy: np
[07:08] <terafl0ps> Degru: I think he is missing a default gateway.
[07:08] <Degru> terafl0ps: how would we add one?
[07:08] <terafl0ps> Do you know the IP of your router?
[07:08] <terafl0ps> route add default gw ip_address_of_router
[07:08] <Degru> terafl0ps: ask subcool.
[07:09] <insomniac_lemon> histo, not really... It's for a script, so I've been doing it on VMs which I found out how to fix the issue. I add the repo, it adds a binary and source version. I remove the source version, it works like it theoretically should.
[07:09] <Degru> subcool: whatever terafl0ps said ^^
[07:09] <subcool> litropy, Degru - k did it
[07:09] <Degru> subcool: route add default gw ip_of_router?
[07:10] <litropy> subcool, you restarted networking?
[07:10] <terafl0ps> Degru: This all assumes he has a valid IP address on the interface too.
[07:10] <histo> insomniac_lemon: okay
[07:11] <litropy> Can others chime in? restarting networking loads resolv.conf into the system again, right?
[07:11] <histo> insomniac_lemon: perhaps their source repo is down or your syntax in your script is wrong
[07:11] <mrsudoer> So, I just resized my ubuntu home partition so I could create a NTFS partition and install windows alongside ubuntu (this was done with a live gparted). When I booted into Ubuntu after the resize, Ubuntu would run into file errors and not reach the login screen...so I ran a fsck and it fixed those file problems, and now I'm back in Ubuntu. Problem is...things are weird. For example, my desktop effects stopped working. But more impor
[07:11] <mrsudoer> For example: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight
[07:11] <histo> litropy: right cuz of resolvconf package
[07:11] <mrsudoer> ^^^ that doesn't work, and I can't tell if it's a problem on my end or if that repo doesn't exist
[07:11] <histo> litropy: you add nameservers to /etc/network/interfaces file now.
[07:11] <mrsudoer> Can anyone help please?
[07:11] <litropy> subcool, you restarted networking?
[07:12] <litropy> histo, ugh. Wanna walk him through it? I'm basically a human google proxy at this point.
[07:13] <litropy> histo, us amatuers have been at this for hours.
[07:13] <insomniac_lemon> histo, here's my command: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' note that removing /chrome from it yeilds the same result (and that's the repo I have from the .deb)
[07:13] <subcool> litropy, yes
[07:13] <Degru> histo: i'm like a human-human-google proxy
[07:13] <terafl0ps> Litropy: I don't know what is going on with his network manager or the whole background, but if you just need to get him on the net quickly.  We can manually configure a wired interface pretty quickly if we know the subnet he should be on.
[07:13] <histo> litropy: is there a reason he doesn't use network manager?
[07:13] <litropy> histo, only that it's not installed
[07:13] <Degru> histo: it's uninstalled
[07:13] <litropy> histo, he's connected via ethernet
[07:13] <subcool> ok- soorry i missed a bit of that.
[07:14] <histo> subcool: Do you have a router?
[07:14] <litropy> histo, he has a valid ip to his router.
[07:14] <Degru> histo: we need to install the nm again
[07:14] <subcool> the file did contain my router as a nameserver
[07:14] <litropy> histo, he can ping via IP
[07:14] <Degru> litropy: wait, he can ping google via ip now?
[07:14] <litropy> Degru, yes
[07:15] <Degru> litropy: man, this is so confusing
[07:15] <subcool> your telling me
[07:15] <litropy> Degru, he's good - he just needs DNS resolution. Then, he can start reinstalling away.
[07:15] <terafl0ps> Then he's on the Internet, the temporary resolv.conf fix should do it.
[07:15] <mrsudoer> Does anyone think they can help me? Or would my time be better spent rebooting into different DEs/recovery?
[07:15] <subcool> terafl0ps, everything "shoulda" worked by now
[07:15] <litropy> Degru, apt-get works as soon as he resolves DNS
[07:15] <subcool> i did restart the network, but- havent pinged anything.
[07:16] <subcool> im still lost on how my network manager crapped out. :/
[07:16] <histo> subcool: ping google.com
[07:16] <subcool> why cant i remote in via ip?
[07:16] <subcool> its just ssh
[07:17] <Degru> subcool: look in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:17] <Degru> subcool: see if you can add <IP_ADDRESS> there.
[07:17] <subcool> k- couldnt ping www.google.com
[07:17] <subcool> but the IP 174 worked
[07:17] <histo> subcool: add your nameserver to /etc/network/interfaces file
[07:18] <grahamsavage> ok i've got a window that's disappeared i can see it on ctrl-~
[07:18] <grahamsavage> when i click on it it doesn't appear
[07:18] <grahamsavage> what can i do?
[07:18] <histo> subcool: under the iface eth0 section add dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:18] <Degru> histo: just add the same thing as resolv.conf?
[07:18] <alfirus> Hello everyone. I'm facing battery drain problem. My Lenovo GT580 out of battery in less then 2 hours. However when i using Windows 7, it can last long up to 3 1/2 hours. How to overcome this problem? I already post in forum few days ago but not yet get feedback
[07:18] <Degru> histo: nvm
[07:19] <Degru> !battery
[07:19] <Degru> ubottu: !battery
[07:20] <Degru> !battery
[07:20] <litropy> !hello
[07:20] <histo> Degru: dns-nameservers option.  The other way it could be done is to edit he /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head  file and restart networking. The head file controls what is written to resolv.conf by resolvconf package.   During using ubuntu, i just run chrome only, nothing else
[07:22] <subcool> is this going to fix itself after i get "running"
[07:22] <grahamsavage> but i'm new to this OS so i'm really just trying to work out how to switch back to it
[07:22] <subcool> so there is a comma after 8. ok
[07:22] <LovCAPONE> Q: There is only thing that stops to from installing Ubuntu as my main daily OS... iTunes... Please tell me that there is an Ubuntu alternative... Any?
[07:22] <grahamsavage> i'm finding general window management a bit buggy (either buggy or i need some new skills)
[07:22] <litropy> subcool, after you're up, we're going to reinstall networkmanager, and anything else you might need.
[07:22] <Degru> subcool: after all this install network-manager-gnome
[07:23] <grahamsavage> LovCapone: yeah i haven't found an itunes replacement
[07:23] <histo> subcool: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces   then under iface eth0 .....   line add dns-nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:23] <litropy> subcool, may as well look at ssh as well ... I'm up ofr it.
[07:23] <subcool> litropy, Degru histo still cant ping google.com
[07:23] <LovCAPONE> grahamsavage: damn... sick of Win7
[07:23] <nearst> !resolvconf
[07:23] <histo> subcool: get rid of the comma and just add one
[07:23] <litropy> subcool, same 'hang'?
[07:23] <subcool> yep
[07:24] <apwbdjp> LovCAPONE, Ubuntu has alternatives, libgtkpod handle many of apples devices, but it still has trouble with the most recent onces
[07:24] <grahamsavage> LovCapone: run it in a VM
[07:24] <histo> subcool: dns-nameservers  <IP_ADDRESS>    I had a typo earlier and forgot the s I believe
[07:24] <apwbdjp> LovCAPONE, for iPohd Nano 6th Gen, for example, you'll need a VM, or keeping a dual boot
[07:24] <subcool> still hangs
[07:24] <grahamsavage> yeah vm is a really good solution
[07:24] <LovCAPONE> apwbdjp: iPod Touch 4th gen?
[07:25] <grahamsavage> because you can just keep it running with only 2gb of ram
[07:25] <grahamsavage> and still have it very snappy
[07:25] <litropy> subcool, remember you have to restart networking after every change
[07:25] <apwbdjp> LovCAPONE, not sure, really
[07:25] <subcool> did it
[07:25] <lasers> !itunes | LovCAPONE
[07:25] <histo> subcool: okay echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base && sudo networking restart
[07:25] <litropy> subcool, does dmesg seem to have any clues near the bottom?
[07:25] <Degru> "subcool: ping http://www.google.com" works now?
[07:26] <LovCAPONE> Ok thanks guys.. got my project for tonite
[07:26] <insomniac_lemon> Alright, Degru and Histo, I think I solved my issue, with the command sudo apt-add-repository 'deb-src http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' --remove right after adding the binary repo
[07:26] <litropy> subcool, keep in mind, histo has precedence over anything I say
[07:26] <subcool> lol
[07:26] <histo> subcool: is it working now or not?
[07:26] <litropy> subcool, but if you're nearby, may as well try my stuff as well. I won't get in his way.
[07:27] <insomniac_lemon> I still want my commands to be quieter, like not printing out "processing triggers" and things like that
[07:27] <insomniac_lemon> I just want progress and no logging
[07:27] <subcool> histo, sudo in front of echo?
[07:27] <litropy> insomniac_lemon, may I ask why?
[07:27] <histo> insomniac_lemon: redirect the output
[07:27] <histo> subcool: no
[07:27] <histo> subcool: just infront of tee
[07:27] <wad> I'm trying to get samba happy on my server (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit desktop), but it's acting crazy. Doesn't make any sense at all. Any of you guys good at samba? I just want to share some files and printers on the LAN. I'm pretty sure that my smb.conf is good, it's other aspects of samba that are confusing the heck out of me.
[07:27] <subcool> histo, no such file
[07:28] <histo> huh make sure you typed it properly
[07:28] <insomniac_lemon> litropy, script where I echo all of the important stuff about what's going on
[07:28] <insomniac_lemon> hist, how do I do that?
[07:28] <litropy> insomniac_lemon, I see.
[07:28] <subcool> litropy, ping didnt work
[07:28] <insomniac_lemon> *histo.....
[07:28] <subcool> histo, its exactly how u wrote it
[07:29] <histo> insomniac_lemon: command.with.output 1>/dev/null
[07:29] <Degru> subcool, litropy, histo, as much as I'd like to see this finally fixed, I have to go to bed now. Good night all.
[07:29] <histo> subcool: ls /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/  what's in there?
[07:29] <litropy> Degru, thx for your help. Goodnight.
[07:29] <insomniac_lemon> histo, thanks, I actually found something similar on the internet earlier
[07:29] <subcool> lol- toolate.
[07:30] <histo> insomniac_lemon: to redirect errors you would 2>/dev/null
[07:30] <subcool> histo, base   head
[07:30] <histo> subcool: okay wellt he files are there. sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base   and put nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>  in that file save it and restart networking
[07:31] <terafl0ps> Does anyone know anything about the status of the Android Execution Environment mentioned in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/mobile-karmic-android-execution-environment ?
[07:31] <insomniac_lemon> Thanks hist, that's exactly what I was looking for! Why couldn't -qq do it like that? ;~;
[07:32] <subcool> i was wrong ... i read it wrong.. .. i did it right this time.. and it pended to the file, but restarting networking didnt work.
[07:32] <insomniac_lemon> *histo, gahh
[07:32] <histo> insomniac_lemon: gahh?
[07:32] <histo> subcool: what do you mean it didn't work?
[07:32] <subcool> histo, fixed the file, still no ping..
[07:32] <vernon> I just freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 onto my computer, and it auto-installed my nvidia drivers (it is using 304.64). I notice that there will be little black dashes that appear near the dash button. How do I fix this?
[07:32] <vbgunz> anyone here use xboxdrv with an official ps3 controller? what's your option line that works best?
[07:32] <insomniac_lemon> I keep forgetting to put the 'o' in your name, histo
[07:32] <subcool> sudo networkingn restart - did nothing. it errored
[07:32] <histo> subcool: cat /etc/resolv.conf   is there a nameserver in there now?
[07:33] <histo> subcool: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:33] <subcool> yea- that way worked
[07:33] <subcool> um.
[07:33] <insomniac_lemon> Histo, does  1>/dev/null work with all commands?
[07:33] <subcool> yea, the three things we added are in that file
[07:33] <subcool> histo, <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> search home.
[07:33] <histo> insomniac_lemon: yeah 1=stdout  You are redirecting the output to /dev/null 2=stderr  etc...
[07:34] <alfirus> Hello everyone. I'm facing battery drain problem. My Lenovo GT580 out of battery in less then 2 hours. However when i using Windows 7, it can last long up to 3 1/2 hours. How to overcome this problem? I already post in forum few days ago but not yet get feedback. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 32bits and my laptop is 64bits. During using, i just use chrome browser, nothing more.
[07:34] <AcidRain> im trying to setup an ftp server using pure-ftpd, how can i make restrictions on certain folders?
[07:34] <histo> subcool: before or after the restart?
[07:34] <subcool> after
[07:34] <histo> subcool: okay ping google.com  now
[07:34] <histo> should resolve to IP
[07:34] <subcool> nothing
[07:34] <insomniac_lemon> histo, no I mean like how certian flags are on certain commands.... I'm asking if it's a global trick
[07:35] <histo> insomniac_lemon: yes it's global you are redirecting the output of whatever command
[07:35] <histo> insomniac_lemon: you can pipe output to a file etc...
[07:35] <insomniac_lemon> ah.
[07:35] <bean> alfirus, does that have an nvidia chip?

[07:37] <histo> subcool: can you still ping <IP_ADDRESS>  ??
[07:37] <insomniac_lemon> Histo, does it go before or after flags?
[07:37] <histo> insomniac_lemon: after
[07:37] <subcool> never tried honestly
[07:37] <insomniac_lemon> Ok, that's what I though
[07:37] <subcool> histo, yes
[07:38] <kerro> did anyone know what autoCAD like app in ubuntu ?
[07:38] <histo> subcool: cat /etc/resolv.conf  and make sure your nameservers are in there... What else is in there besides those?
[07:38] <alfirus> bean, any solution or software maybe. i tried to do undervoltage http://linuxsolver.blogspot.it/2012/05/undervolting-cpu-in-ubuntu-1204.html but no luck.
[07:38] <histo> !cad | kerro

[07:39] <kerro> !cad ? histo
[07:39] <AcidRain> im saying like.... using pure-ftpd if i do sudo chmod 655 -R Music, then ftpusers can access files and download. but i can NOT do it locally
[07:39] <histo> kerro: was looking for bot trigger that doesn't exist
[07:39] <alfirus> bean, thanks. doing it now
[07:39] <histo> subcool: did you restart networking and confirm it's not in there?
[07:39] <subcool> histo, correct
[07:40] <kerro> hehe.. i just need sugestions
[07:40] <histo> subcool: I have no idea what the hell is going on.
[07:40] <subcool> lol
[07:40] <histo> subcool: How did all this start
[07:40] <subcool> no clue
[07:40] <histo> I wasn't in here for the begining
[07:40] <subcool> histo, i was at my sisters,, everyting was fine. came home- refused to do anything.
[07:40] <histo> subcool: what sort of things do you have in /etc/network/interfaces  ?
[07:41] <subcool> histo, auto lo, iface lo inet loopback, dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:42] <histo> subcool: okay are you connected via wired or wireless?
[07:42] <subcool> histo, wired
[07:44] <histo> subcool: okay remove the dns-nameservers line and change it to auto lo eth0, iface lo inet loopback, iface eth0 inet dhcp   save and restart networking
[07:44] <histo> subcool: commas would be newlines obviously
[07:44] <histo> No idea how the hell you are pinging anything with the way it's configured now.
[07:45] <alfirus> bean, i'm stuck at sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bumblebee-stable-precise.list. the file blank.. nothing there
[07:45] <histo> subcool: Why does everyone think network manager is gone?
[07:45] <histo> alfirus: create it
[07:45] <subcool> histo, we removed it
[07:46] <subcool> histo, then manually reinstalled just network-manager
[07:46] <histo> okay.........
[07:46] <histo> subcool: did you make the changes I just suggested to /etc/network/interfaces
[07:46] <subcool> histo, ping still donsnt work
[07:46] <subcool> yep
[07:46] <histo> subcool: sudo ifup eth0
[07:46] <subcool> histo, RTNETLINK answers: file exists
[07:47] <histo> subcool: huh?
[07:47] <subcool> that what came back
[07:47] <histo> subcool: try ping now
[07:47] <subcool> oh wait
[07:47] <subcool> it also said ssh stop./waiting, ssh start/running, process 10281
[07:47] <subcool> it hasnt dont that before
[07:47] <subcool> histo, unknown host
[07:48] <histo> subcool: can you ping by ip?
[07:48] <fire> can i create my own distro based on ubuntu ?
[07:48] <subcool> histo, a coulple..
[07:48] <histo> fire: yes
[07:48] <alfirus> sorry histo, command to create it is? i'm new with ubuntu
[07:48] <histo> alfirus: use any editor you want. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list/bumble.......
[07:49] <histo> alfirus: sorry gksu gedit
[07:49] <subcool> histo, i can ping 8.8.8 - but i can no longer ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:49] <histo> subcool: what is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[07:49] <subcool> idk- lol- they gave it to me to ping before
[07:50] <subcool> histo, cant ping within network
[07:50] <AcidRain> lol
[07:50] <subcool> histo, its getting kinda late- i have to goto bed. :/
[07:50] <AcidRain> in ubuntu 12.04 when u chmod perm -R folder, the first folder in that folder will have regular permissions
[07:50] <AcidRain> thats funny
[07:50] <histo> subcool: what does ifconfig show for eth0  ?? does it show ip and bcast mask etc...?
[07:51] <histo> subcool: How did they have you uninstall network manager btw?
[07:51] <fire> histo: how can i do it ? by building ubuntu from scratch and removing the logos and other trademark stuff ?
[07:51] <subcool> histo, it does show all that. - and uh... apt-get --purge
[07:51] <subcool> along with my ufw
[07:51] <histo> subcool: we should be able to reinstall it.   from archives. sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
[07:52] <wad> So I got samba running, yay! Now I'm just trying to share the printer attached to the server, over the LAN. But whenever I try to print anything, it wants me to authenticate. How do I turn that off completely? Anyone on the LAN should be able to print all they want, without having to enter a username/password. I'm not going to create accounts on the server for everyone who uses this LAN!
[07:52] <subcool> it times out when it comes to reaching the serveser
[07:52] <subcool> histo,
[07:52] <histo> subcool: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/network-*   do you have the .debs still?
[07:52] <wad> I've googled around, and I find hundreds of posts of people having the exact same issue.
[07:52] <subcool> histo, yes i do..
[07:52] <wad> I haven't found any good answers yet.
[07:53] <histo> AcidRain: can you paste what you are trying to do
[07:53] <subcool> histo, nothing came up from that ls
[07:53] <fire> histo: will lfs help me in this regard ?
[07:53] <AcidRain> histo, i wasnt trying to do anything
[07:53] <AcidRain> i was just stating that
[07:53] <prototype> hey all
[07:53] <histo> subcool: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager   and sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager-gnome
[07:53] <histo> fire: lfs is not ubuntu
[07:54] <nyuszika7h> hi, does anyone know where can I get the Arial Unicode MS font for Ubuntu?
[07:54] <subcool> histo, those files arent in my archives
[07:54] <AcidRain> sudo chmod 755 -R FOLDER <--- this command sets permissions on all folders to 755, except the first folder in the directory, it remains 777
[07:54] <histo> subcool: did you apt-get clean at some point?
[07:54] <subcool> no
[07:54] <histo> subcool: do you have a livecd still?
[07:54] <subcool> live usb
[07:54] <prototype> hey i am unable to install ubuntu12.4 black screen appears
[07:54] <fire> histo: i meant to say it will help me in creating linux from scratch and help me understanding the process.
[07:54] <prototype> anyone can help me
[07:54] <histo> subcool: boot the liveusb mount your hard drive and sudo chroot /path/to/mount  then sudo apt-get install network-manager
[07:54] <nyuszika7h> prototype: do you have an Intel graphics card?
[07:54] <subcool> prototype, press enter
[07:55] <histo> !nomodeset | prototype
[07:55] <subcool> prototype, try 12.04.1
[07:55] <nyuszika7h> histo: my thoughts exactly
[07:55] <subcool> histo, booting now
[07:55] <histo> AcidRain: is it a sticky folder?
[07:55] <histo> subcool: k should be easier to fix from there.
[07:56] <helmut_> hi
[07:56] <prototype> while installing freinds when last steps remaing than ..errorrs appears nd halt everything
[07:56] <nyuszika7h> hey helmut_
[07:56] <AcidRain> histo, no. normal folder just like all others
[07:56] <histo> AcidRain: does your user not own it?
[07:56] <nyuszika7h> prototype: what errors?
[07:57] <AcidRain> histo, yes. my user owns it, just like all the other folders
[07:57] <AcidRain> histo, its not an issue for me.
[07:57] <prototype> somthing like call trace:       some code appears like code: 34 25 c8
[07:57] <histo> AcidRain: okay well it works here for me
[07:58] <histo> prototype: I thought you said it had a blackscreen?
[07:58] <nyuszika7h> prototype: kernel panic?
[07:59] <histo> !info mutt
[07:59] <prototype> what is solution for that ? kernel panic
[07:59] <histo> why the hell do we still need postfix with mutt?
[07:59] <iceroot> histo: ?
[08:00] <histo> iceroot: >1.5.15 has SMTP support built in
[08:00] <prototype> any solution ???
[08:00] <prototype> for kernel panic
[08:00] <nyuszika7h> prototype: looks like a broken kernel module.
[08:00] <iceroot> histo: and what is the problem? you always have a MTA installed on your system
[08:00] <william__> rebuild the kernel
[08:00] <histo> prototype: memcheck and md5sum your iso just to be sure
[08:00] <nyuszika7h> we could probably help more if you could give the full backtrace
[08:01] <prototype> iso is fine
[08:01] <nyuszika7h> william__: rebuild the kernel on the live CD/USB?
[08:01] <iceroot> histo: and the local maildir is still used from postfix, so you dont need onyl smtp but also maildir
[08:01] <nyuszika7h> he is getting that at the end of the installation or something
[08:01] <histo> iceroot: it's installing something that's not needed
[08:01] <william__> any log?
[08:01] <histo> iceroot: What is the default MTA in 12.10? I don't see one by default
[08:02] <nyuszika7h> brb
[08:02] <iceroot> !mta | histo
[08:02] <litropy> histo, the IP is to google.
[08:02] <litropy> subcool, you still here?
[08:02] <prototype> i am beginner plzz freinds solve my prob
[08:03] <alfirus> thanks histo and bean, i'll refer to the article author for my problem.
[08:03] <prototype> its req ?
[08:03] <iceroot> histo: postfix is installed by default (tested on 12.04)
[08:03] <subcool> litropy, histo yea- just booted into livesub
[08:03] <vbgunz> what is the best bluetooth, non fussy game pad controller on Linux?
[08:03] <iceroot> vbgunz: the one you like most
[08:03] <iceroot> !best | vbgunz
[08:03] <histo> subcool: does network work now?
[08:04] <litropy> subcool, okay - I'm just watchin histo at this point.
[08:04] <histo> iceroot: not here on 12.10
[08:04] <histo> iceroot: hense my question on why it's needed
[08:04] <histo> iceroot: mutt doesnt need it anymore
[08:04] <vbgunz> maybe best was a bad word. What is the most compatible bluetooth gamepad controller that is no fuss on linux?
[08:04] <iceroot> histo: create a bug if you think its not needed anymore
[08:04] <histo> subcool: okay mount your hard drive
[08:05] <histo> subcool: well first make sure network works on the liveusb I guess.
[08:05] <iceroot> histo: also have a look at #mutt and see if it is not needed anymore, i think its still needed not only for smtp
[08:05] <prototype> plzz give me the solution for ...black error screen while installing and halt all process
[08:05] <prototype> ?
[08:05] <prototype> ?
[08:05] <FloodBot1> prototype: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:06] <iceroot> histo: Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent, locales, mime-support, libsasl2-modules
[08:06] <prototype> sorry sir
[08:06] <iceroot> histo: there is no dependency for postfix
[08:06] <hxm> hello good morning
[08:06] <iceroot> histo: just for mta and this is postfix by default on ubuntu
[08:06] <histo> iceroot: Okay the issue is that postfix is not default in 12.10 then
[08:06] <iceroot> histo: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libgnutls26 (>= <IP_ADDRESS>-0), libgpg-error0 (>= 1.10), libgpgme11 (>= 1.2.0), libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.7+dfsg), libidn11 (>= 1.13), libncursesw5 (>= 5.6+20070908), libsasl2-2, libtinfo5, libtokyocabinet8 (>= 1.4.14)
[08:06] <subcool> histo, okl
[08:07] <hxm> i just updated mysql to 5.5 in ubuntu server trought apt-get upgrade and now the server says this: Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (2002)
[08:07] <subcool> im just getting up. i tried to chroot the drive, but it says the thing is locked..
[08:07] <histo> subcool: where did it get mounted to?
[08:07] <TakeItEZ> iceroot: mutt has no mta-dependency at all
[08:07] <hxm> the .sock file exists and i dont have idea what to try
[08:07] <subcool> histo, /media/longstringofcrap
[08:07] <william__> rm -rf
[08:07] <histo> subcool: sudo chroot /media/<tab_key>
[08:07] <histo> william__: dont' say that here
[08:08] <histo> TakeItEZ: it can handle smtp since version 1.15.5
[08:08] <iceroot> histo: i dont have 12.10 so i can not test it but i thought postfix is still default on 12.10
[08:08] <TakeItEZ> histo: thats why mutt has no mta-dependency at all
[08:08] <histo> TakeItEZ: it does here wants to install postfix
[08:08] <histo> TakeItEZ: iceroot in 12.10 that is
[08:08] <iceroot> histo: but when you have a mta installed by default (which is the default) mutt should not pull postfix
[08:08] <TakeItEZ> histo: then use --no-install-recommends
[08:09] <prototype> there is no solution for .. me   freinds
[08:09] <histo> iceroot: mutt shouldn't be pulling an MTA anyways it doesn't need one anymroe that's the whole point.
[08:09] <iceroot> histo: you already have a mta
[08:09] <histo> subcool: then you can sudo apt-get install network-manger network-manager-gnome
[08:09] <histo> iceroot: Are you not reading what I'm typing? or are you just misunderstanding what I'm saying?
[08:09] <subcool> histo, i did that..
[08:10] <TakeItEZ> histo: it doesn't pull any mta on 12.10, just shows an mta as recommen
[08:10] <iceroot> histo: 12.10 has a default mta
[08:10] <subcool> histo, im in as roo@kubuntu:/#
[08:10] <iceroot> histo: if it is postfix, exim or something else does not matter
[08:10] <iceroot> histo: but 12.10 comes with a default mta
[08:10] <subcool> histo, but when i try aptget- it says the package is locked
[08:10] <histo> subcool: okay then apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
[08:10] <histo> iceroot: it's not exim or postfix
[08:10] <subcool> wait
[08:10] <TakeItEZ> iceroot: server you mean? desktop hasn't
[08:10] <subcool> i think i have a different partition for apt
[08:11] <iceroot> TakeItEZ: cron is pulling a mta
[08:11] <prototype> i thought i got solutions here ..but disappointed
[08:11] <iceroot> TakeItEZ: and cron is default on desktop and server
[08:11] <histo> iceroot: NOT IN 12.10 desktop
[08:11] <histo> ffs
[08:11] <iceroot> i will boot my 12.10 vm and have a look
[08:11] <histo> please do
[08:11] <subcool> histo, ^^
[08:11] <histo> iceroot: rather than argue with me
[08:11] <TakeItEZ> iceroot: not here, even cron just recommends/suggest a mta
[08:11] <histo> subcool: what?
[08:11] <subcool> histo, apt is its own parition
[08:12] <histo> TakeItEZ: try and install mutt in 12.10 it will want postfix
[08:12] <iceroot> only 12.04 vms here :(
[08:12] <TakeItEZ> histo: it doesn't i just tested
[08:12] <histo> TakeItEZ: The following NEW packages will be installed:
[08:12] <histo>   libtokyocabinet9 mutt postfix
[08:12] <histo> really
[08:12] <litropy> subcool, can you ping google.com?
[08:12] <TakeItEZ> histo: "libtokyocabinet9 mutt" here
[08:12] <histo> Does here that's bizare you must be running 12.10 super edition
[08:13] <TakeItEZ> histo: 12.10 64bit desktop nothing special
[08:13] <Flannel> histo: If you already have a MTA, its satisfied.
[08:13] <subcool> litropy, no
[08:13] <subcool> litropy, oh= yeah
[08:13] <litropy> subcool, so you can?
[08:13] <histo> Flannel: TakeItEZ I have a default install of 12.10 64bit and you try to install mutt it wants to install postfix. YOU DON"T NEED MTA for mutt
[08:13] <Flannel> histo: default-mta or mail-transport-agent, both of which are virtual, the former is postfix, the latter is a whole bunch of things.
[08:13] <subcool> litropy, yea
[08:13] <iceroot> histo: super edition?
[08:13] <litropy> subcool, okay. So what partition is apt on?
[08:13] <histo> iceroot: let me make a pastebin since you don't believe me
[08:14] <litropy> subcool, same as /home?
[08:14] <iceroot> histo: i am downloading 12.10 right now
[08:14] <Flannel> histo: It's a recommends, yes, but by default apt installs recommends.  You can certainly install it without, with --no-install-recommends
[08:14] <TakeItEZ> histo: as i said before, then use --no-install-recommends
[08:15] <subcool> litropy, no- its own. its titled apt
[08:15] <TakeItEZ> dpkg -l|grep mail
[08:15] <TakeItEZ> sry
[08:15] <histo> iceroot: Flannel TakeItEZ http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584536/ really???
[08:15] <litropy> subcool, jesus.
[08:15] <histo> Flannel: It shouldn't be a recomend that's my point
[08:16] <histo> subcool: what are you talking about apt partition?
[08:16] <Flannel> histo: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends, done.
[08:16] <subcool> hold on- ill can use it to irc and i can copy shit
[08:16] <histo> subcool: if you chrooted and you had networkign on the live cd you can now instlal apps with apt-get
[08:16] <ikonia> subcool: tone down the language please.
[08:16] <litropy> subcool, not sure what to do with that.   It's definitely a recommends based off of the debian packaging guidelines.
[08:17] <subcool> litropy, TJ helped me-
[08:17] <Flannel> histo: chill out.
[08:17] <litropy> subcool, helped you do what?
[08:17] <histo> Flannel: Why is it recommended?
[08:17] <iceroot> histo: #mutt
[08:17] <histo> please enlighten us all
[08:17] <iceroot> histo: ask them
[08:17] <TakeItEZ> histo: ask the debian-maintainers
[08:17] <Flannel> histo: The PACKAGE has a "recommends" for mutt of an MTA.  Recommends is "Package A recommends Package B, if the package maintainer judges that most users would not want A without also having the functionality provided by B."
[08:17] <subcool> litropy, i had a busted 11.01 system, and he helped me sepeate home, and install via LVM
[08:17] <histo> iceroot: yeah i'm in there it's not needed at all since 1.15.5
[08:17] <iceroot> histo: #mutt
[08:17] <histo> Flannel: the maintainer is wrong
[08:18] <iceroot> histo: or ask the debian maintainers
[08:18] <subcool> litropy, so- during that he made like 5 partition to seperate stuff
[08:18] <Flannel> histo: Do you have an actual question?
[08:18] <iceroot> histo: recommend != depends
[08:18] <histo> Flannel: whatever
[08:18] <litropy> subcool, dunno why. Okay.
[08:18] <histo> Flannel: I asked why it's doing that. It shouldn't be I will be filing a bug.
[08:18] <Flannel> histo: If not, please let other people use the channel.  If you do need support, feel free to ask a question.
[08:18] <subcool> give me a second
[08:18] <Pipe84> hi all, i have ubuntu 12.04.1 with kernel 3.2. Yesterday i updated to kernel 3.5 but now doesn´t work, i try to boot with kernel 3.2 and nothing. What can i do?
[08:18] <Flannel> histo: I'm glad.  You can install it with --no-install-recommends and you won't be asked to install an MTA.
[08:18] <histo> subcool: can you paste the output of lsblk
[08:19] <Hwkiller> Pipe84: what exactly "doesn't work" what is the error?
[08:19] <subcool> histo, working on it
[08:19] <litropy> subcool, no idea how to tell apt what's what while apt is on another partition. Wait for histo to respond.
[08:19] <histo> Flannel: I'm glad that you don't seem to understand that the package shouldn't be recomending something that is not needed and provides no features
[08:19] <subcool> litropy, give me a min- you';ll see
[08:19] <subcool> i've been trying to figure this thing out for a while now.
[08:19] <subcool> cause its pretty confusing
[08:19] <iceroot> !bug | histo
[08:20] <iceroot> histo: guess we are finished then with the topic
[08:20] <Flannel> histo: Most people want to use mutt to send and receive email, that's why you need an MTA.  Most peple don't use mutt simply to read email.
[08:20] <Pipe84> i can choose system to boot: Ubuntu 3.5 or Ubuntu Recovery Mode or Windows 7, i choose ubuntu normal and the screen back, the led of HD is stop.
[08:20] <TakeItEZ> Flannel: mutt doesn't need an mta to send mail
[08:20] <histo> Flannel: mutt no longer needs an MTA since 1.15.5 it has SMTP built in and can use IMAP and POP but continue spouting nonsense
[08:20] <iceroot> histo: type this /join #mutt "why is postfix still needed"
[08:21] <histo> iceroot: It's not needed
[08:21] <iceroot> histo: s/postfix/mta
[08:21] <Flannel> histo: You need to adjust your attitude.
[08:21] <iceroot> histo: then read the link from ubottu about "bug"
[08:21] <histo> iceroot: i'm filing one now.
[08:21] <subcool_> k - im here now
[08:21] <melodyintrance> question: when I boot my HTPC running ubuntu 12.10 64bit I am presented with a purple boot screen giving me options to select Ubuntu, Ubuntu with advanced options, Windows 8 on /dev/  How can I edit this boot screen?
[08:21] <subcool_> what did u want me to do? histo
[08:22] <iceroot> !grub | melodyintrance
[08:22] <iceroot> melodyintrance: the last link
[08:22] <melodyintrance> thanks iceroot and ubottu
[08:22] <melodyintrance> I'll install grub2
[08:23] <Pipe84> Hwkiller i can choose system to boot: Ubuntu 3.5 or Ubuntu Recovery Mode or Windows 7, i choose ubuntu normal and the screen back, the led of HD is stop.
[08:23] <histo> subcool_: in where?
[08:23] <nell> has anyone successfully connected a gamecube or xbox controller to a  linux machine
[08:23] <subcool_> histo, you asked me to give you the results of something-
[08:23] <subcool_> histo, what was the command
[08:23] <subcool_> histo, im n the broken computer now
[08:24] <iceroot> melodyintrance: its already installed and it is the screen you are talking about
[08:25] <histo> subcool_: lsblk
[08:25] <histo> subcool_: post the results to paste.ubuntu.com
[08:26] <histo> Flannel: I don't feel that I have an attitude problem. I'm sorry you took it that way. I don't think you understood what I was asking nor did iceroot.
[08:27] <iceroot> histo: i said ask #mutt and if it is a bug create a bug
[08:27] <histo> I did
[08:27] <iceroot> histo: then everything is fine :)
[08:27] <histo> Yeap
[08:31] <histo> subcool_: Any luck?
[08:31] <subcool_> my pastebin widget isnt working :/
[08:32] <subcool_> got it
[08:32] <subcool_> histo http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584563
[08:33] <Jeeves_moss> is there a script that will find duplicate videos baised on content?
[08:34] <iceroot> Jeeves_moss: you want to find all duplicate video files with different filenames but the same content?
[08:34] <iceroot> Jeeves_moss: and we dont need crossposting in #bash and #ubuntu
[08:35] <Jeeves_moss> iceroot, it's clips of dif res and paices of other videos.  Basically I want to elimate all of the smaller clips of full movies
[08:35] <iceroot> Jeeves_moss: not possible if they are different in resolution or something like that
[08:36] <MttJocy> I was wondering does anyone happen to know the scheduled release date for 13.04 am presuming will be next month some time.  It's looking like there is a good chance I'm going to have some significant (Give or take 500Mbit) worth of capacity around then my initial thought was to time it and bring it up to help seed on the torrents but is there anyone that is responsible for managing distribution etc that I should look into contact in case it's better
[08:36] <MttJocy> used some other way?
[08:36] <iceroot> MttJocy: no
[08:37] <histo> !raring | MttJocy
[08:37] <histo> subcool: you still there I got dropped didn't here where you were at with the paste or if you installed network-manager network-manager-gnome yet?
[08:38] <MttJocy> Thanks both :)
[08:38] <subcool_> histo http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584563
[08:38] <ero-jiji> got a question for one of the more experianced users here. i have a backup server at ovh (4tb) and am planning on upgrading to the 10tb. theres is maybe 10gb free on the existing server (the individual backup files are 80gb+) which would be the better way to move them, rsync or scp? both servers are in the same datacenter, on 100mbit pipes
[08:39] <histo> subcool_: Why did you put /var on a different part? is this a server?
[08:39] <histo> ero-jiji: rsync will use ssh
[08:39] <subcool_> histo, i didnt create the partitions. - TJ helped me..
[08:40] <subcool_> histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584574
[08:40] <histo> subcool_: don't use sudo
[08:40] <subcool_> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)
[08:40] <subcool_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[08:40] <histo> subcool_: you are root on that partiton
[08:40] <subcool_> histo, yes
[08:41] <ero-jiji> @histo is that good or bad? i only have ssh and x2go access, im just trying to find the most reliable way to move 4tb ><
[08:42] <histo> ero-jiji: well using scp is going to be over ssh also. So I really don't understand what you are asking. Rsync will provide you with the ability to resume and ensure the files match.
[08:42] <ero-jiji> id preffer to move the entire folder at once, as theres way to many individual backups to keep track of ><
[08:42] <ero-jiji> so rsync is the more reliable option
[08:42] <histo> ero-jiji: right
[08:43] <histo> ero-jiji: rsync -av /folder user@remoteserver:/remotelocation
[08:44] <ero-jiji> @histo thats all i needed to know thanks, after i do the copy, is there an easy way to compare the 2 different servers folders so i can make sure theirs no problems before i wipe the old one?
[08:45] <histo> ero-jiji: you could hash them
[08:45] <ero-jiji> boss would kill me if something happened, and they went to grab a backup and it was corrupt etc lol
[08:45] <histo> ero-jiji: md5sum
[08:45] <ero-jiji> ahh never thought of that
[08:45] <histo> ero-jiji: that's the whole point of rsync though it can also do hashing...
[08:45] <ero-jiji> oh? it can verify as its moving? didnt know that <-ubuntu wannabe ^^
[08:46] <histo> ero-jiji: that's what it does.
[08:46] <ero-jiji> even better, i appriciate the input
[08:46] <histo> ero-jiji: in a nutshell
[08:46] <tekkbuzz> anyone know of a command to see if a certain package is installed or not?
[08:46] <histo> subcool_: did you try apt-get without sudo
[08:47] <subcool_> histo, yes-
[08:47] <histo> tekkbuzz: dpkg -l | grep packagename  if it's ii it's installed
[08:47] <histo> subcool_: and then?
[08:47] <subcool_> histo root@kubuntu:/# apt-get install network-manager
[08:47] <subcool_> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)
[08:47] <subcool_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[08:47] <tekkbuzz> histo: thanks, but that will spool out all the packages, wouldn't that take a while?
[08:48] <histo> subcool_: yeah you need to mount that var partition to /media/long.string.of.numbers.for.root/var
[08:48] <melodyintrance> Can someone tell me how to add "Boot from CD" option in Grub2? (I understand that I can control this in bios but I have to learn how to use Grub2 to achieve the same outcome) Thanks
[08:48] <histo> tekkbuzz: how many packages do you ahve installed?
[08:49] <tekkbuzz> not sure, but a lot.
[08:49] <histo> subcool_: then it will work
[08:49] <histo> tekkbuzz: it's rather fast.
[08:49] <tekkbuzz> hang on, I'll give it a go.
[08:50] <subcool_> histo, do i have to create the folder?
[08:50] <histo> subcool_: no
[08:50] <histo> subcool_: It should be there. your /var partition was mounted on top of it.
[08:50] <subcool_> histo, kubuntu@kubuntu:/media/12d47b21-3d31-45aa-a91f-0c7bc55014b6$ sudo mount /media/701bc099-487c-4bbe-b138-15f7ea4b8170/ /media/12d47b21-3d31-45aa-a91f-0c7bc55kubuntu@kubuntu:/media/12d47b21-3d31-45aa-a91f-0c7bc55014b6$ sudo mount /media/701bc099-487c-4bbe-b138-15f7ea4b8170/ /media/12d47b21-3d31-45aa-a91f-0c7bc55014b6/var/

[08:50] <subcool_> mount: /media/701bc099-487c-4bbe-b138-15f7ea4b8170 is not a block device
[08:51] <c|oneman> I'm installing xfce4 on my vps... hopefully it will be a cool toy to play with and I can turn it off when I want server performance
[08:51] <tekkbuzz> histo: thanks, I should have tried it first, you are right. Cool.
[08:51] <litropy> subcool, still with us?
[08:51] <melodyintrance> *bump Can someone tell me how to add "Boot from CD" option in Grub2? (I understand that I can control this in bios but I have to learn how to use Grub2 to achieve the same outcome) Thanks
[08:51] <subcool_> litropy, yeah- right here
[08:51] <subcool_> getting really tired though
[08:52] <histo> subcool_: You can't mount /media/blah to ......../var  you need to mount the device there the same way you mounted it to /media/<701bc*
[08:52] <litropy> subcool where are you at this point
[08:52] <histo> litropy: he's trying to mount his var partition to the root mount point
[08:52] <somsip> melodyintrance: what version of ubuntu?
[08:52] <subcool_> histo, im really tired- :/
[08:52] <melodyintrance> somsip: 12.10
[08:52] <melodyintrance> somsip: 64bit
[08:53] <histo> subcool_: Did you understand what I said on how to fix it?
[08:53] <subcool_> no
[08:53] <histo> subcool_: you are so close
[08:53] <histo> subcool_: how did you mount the var partition to /media/701*
[08:53] <subcool_> 701 is the var partition
[08:54] <subcool_> 12 something is the root
[08:54] <histo> subcool_: or better yet just pastebin the output of    mount all by it self in a terminal on the live cd
[08:54] <histo> subcool_: I will give you command to fix it
[08:54] <subcool_> histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584598/
[08:55] <fire> what is vanilla ubuntu ?
[08:55] <iceroot> fire: the normal ubuntu
[08:55] <somsip> melodyintrance: this might help http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/topic/37462-booting-a-cd-via-grub2/
[08:55] <iceroot> fire: vanilla means generally without any changes
[08:55] <fire> iceroot: :)
[08:55] <melodyintrance> somsip: lol I actually was reading through that page
[08:56] <melodyintrance> somsip: but got a little lost
[08:56] <somsip> melodyintrance: sometimes it's best to exhaust your own abilities before asking here to avoid wasting other peoples' time
[08:56] <melodyintrance> somsip: because I couldn't find his solution on that page...I'll read on :-)
[08:56] <histo> subcool_: sudo umount /media/701<tab_key>  first then sudo mount /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise_var /media/12d4<tab_key>/var
[08:56] <litropy> subcool, i want to remind you that a full reinstall with backups would have been easier. Really, if I were you, so long as all I had were just documents and other non-system oriented things to back up, I'd just wipe all, forget the partitioning scheme, and reinstall. Like I said, the fewer partitions you have, the better. You mentioned something about sattering your system across partitions so you could somehow preserve your 11.04 setup ... it just
[08:56] <litropy>  complicates things. Really, if you have no reservations about just doing a clean install on one partition, deleting the fragmented system you have, do it.
[08:56] <panorain> sup
[08:57] <histo> litropy: Why did you guys have him remove network manager in the first place?
[08:57] <ero-jiji> @histo got it transferring, now i just have to wait a couple days lol
[08:57] <litropy> histo, I didn't
[08:57] <histo> ero-jiji: did you do the --progress flag?
[08:57] <ero-jiji> yes
[08:57] <histo> ero-jiji: k
[08:57] <litropy> histo, no idea where that came from
[08:57] <histo> litropy: that's the whole problem is someone had him remove network-manager I guess
[08:58] <subcool_> litropy, i dont have a back- i was going to ask about backing that up- the configs.. but.. im way to tired
[08:58] <histo> subcool_: did you get it mounted now with that above command?
[08:58] <ero-jiji> @histo 3.97tb to transfer at 100mbit
[08:58] <histo> ero-jiji: ouch
[08:58] <litropy> subcool_, what, really, do you want to preserve?
[08:58] <panorain> histo can I ask a question about slitaz networking?
[08:59] <histo> panorain: You'd probably get a better response in  a slitaz channel or #linux
[08:59] <panorain> histo ok
[08:59] <ero-jiji> @histo i tried to pay for an 1 month upgrade to 1gbit for both, but they dont offer that option on kimsufi line ><
[08:59] <subcool_> litropy, home. thenany configs tha tmight make it troublesome to just kill- but ill wortty about it tomo
[08:59] <histo> panorain: /j #slitaz
[08:59] <litropy> subcool_, I mean, if you haven't customized your system to the point where you need it to be the way it is, just wipe and reinstall, bro.
[09:00] <histo> litropy: subcool_ or just moutn like I suggested above and install your network-manager packages
[09:00] <subcool_> histo it doesnt like that dev/mapper/ command
[09:00] <sahil> hello :)
[09:00] <litropy> subcool_ you have to ask yourself if another day of this is really worth it.
[09:00] <subcool_> litropy, im considering- been considering it.
[09:01] <raddy_> Hello Everybody
[09:01] <histo> subcool_: pvs command will show the volgroup  then you can lvdisplay /dev/Volgroup... will give you the logvol of var
[09:01] <nyuszika7h> hey raddy_
[09:01] <raddy_> Can't install Ubuntu in a dynamic disk?
[09:01] <sahil> is it possible to set an ogg file as startup sound via terminal ?
[09:01] <histo> subcool_: so you can mount /dev/VolGroup/Logvol##
[09:01] <nyuszika7h> raddy_: what do you mean by "dynamic"?
[09:01] <raddy_> nyuszika7h : basic / dynamic disk type in windows
[09:01] <subcool_> pvs?
[09:02] <subcool_> histo, ^^
[09:02] <histo> subcool_: yes
[09:02] <nyuszika7h> raddy_: you should probably just let the Ubuntu installer create a partition, instead of creating one from Windows
[09:02] <James_IRC> Yo! Fresh install of ubuntu. Top 5 addons to install?
[09:02] <histo> subcool_: probably going to be MyVG or whatever you named it.
[09:03] <nyuszika7h> or use gparted if you want to do it manually
[09:03] <nyuszika7h> James_IRC: "addons"?
[09:03] <subcool_> i cant get past /dev/mapp
[09:03] <raddy_> nyuszika7h : does ubuntu desktop iso contains live?
[09:03] <histo> subcool_: aparently not
[09:04] <litropy> subcool_ it's just really odd with the partitions and all. Someone better than me, like histo, would tell you different, but considering your lack of understanding of your current setup, I'd just wipe and reinstall, if you just want this to be fixed with no other problems in the future.
[09:04] <nyuszika7h> raddy_: I think so
[09:04] <James_IRC> Apps, etc. Whatever you call them. Not going to get caught up in terminology
[09:04] <nyuszika7h> subcool_: do you mean /dev/mapper doesn't exist or is empty?
[09:04] <histo> subcool_: It should work though using mapper
[09:04] <subcool_> litropy, ive been trying to narrow it down- but those damn LVM got me confused
[09:04] <nyuszika7h> have you tried 'sudo modprobe device-mapper'?
[09:04] <nyuszika7h> sudo vgscan && sudo vgchange -ay
[09:05] <histo> subcool_: did you umount the var one first?
[09:05] <lordcyfer> Hello everybody
[09:05] <subcool_> im trying- i use sudo mount /dev/ma - but tab doesnt work with mapper
[09:05] <subcool_> yea
[09:05] <histo> subcool_: sudo umount /media/701<tab_key>  first then sudo mount /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise_var /media/12d4<tab_key>/var
[09:05] <subcool_> histo, yea- i got that,
[09:05] <histo> subcool_: you can type /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise_var
[09:05] <hxm> how can i rollback a apt-get upgrade?
[09:06] <histo> !downgrade | hxm
[09:06] <subcool_> right- i did, but then i went to /media/12 and it wont tab
[09:06] <nyuszika7h> same for downgrading packages
[09:06] <hxm> mysql has been updated and now i have problems with my php site, not sure if is the adodblite driver or what but the previous version of mysql worked ok
[09:07] <hxm> i remake the question then: how to install a desired version of a package?
[09:07] <hxm> im using ubuntu lts
[09:07] <hxm> server
[09:07] <histo> subcool_: unmount /media/12..... then mount /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise /mnt && mount /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise_var /mnt/var
[09:07] <TheGrey_> If I install nvidia driver from nvidia will it auto-update? (http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/313.18/README/installdriver.html)  I ask because I think my current nvidia driver (from nvidia installer) is all of a sudden corrupted: blender cannot open via nvidia, only by Opengl. I basically just want to install the driver and make sure it doesn't auto-update. Should I uninstall my current driver and then install nvidia from the repos?
[09:07] <TakeItEZ> hxm: sudo apt-get install package:123-45   (:version-number) if that version still is in the repos
[09:08] <histo> subcool_: then chroot /mnt   and apt-get install your stuff and be done.
[09:08] <lordcyfer> I am about to buy a new lapop and i want to be sure that Ubuntu will install correctly and network / screen are ok THe modele is an HP Pavilion g7-2220us   is there a way to check ?
[09:08] <histo> !hcl | lordcyfer
[09:09] <histo> hxm: should have only been a security fix if it's LTS
[09:09] <iceroot> hxm: there is only one version in the repos (always the latest) so you cant install a previous version because its not in the repos anymore
[09:10] <subcool_> ok getting there
[09:10] <nyuszika7h> is there a text-only 12.04.1 LTS server ISO available for ubuntu which I can use via serial console?
[09:10] <hxm> so i want to die
[09:10] <iceroot> nyuszika7h: what is wrong with the normal server iso?
[09:10] <iceroot> nyuszika7h: its text only
[09:11] <hxm> i restart the service and it works, after a few minutes idle it fails again
[09:11] <hxm> until i restart
[09:11] <airsploit> yello, mysql was misbehaving, i deinstalled it but now can't install it
[09:11] <nyuszika7h> iceroot: I'm trying to install it in QEMU/KVM
[09:11] <iceroot> !details | hxm
[09:11] <nyuszika7h> and it just says "640x480 graphical mode"
[09:11] <iceroot> nyuszika7h: and kvm has a normal tty1 access
[09:12] <Fudge> where does dch -i to modify changes file in packaging get your email address field from?
[09:12] <AcidRain> i have a sql server. i want to be able to remotely access it. what is the best way to do this? i wish to execute remote querys. i want it to be secure.
[09:12] <subcool_> that more recent mount scheme isnt working out
[09:12] <airsploit> whenever i try to install it i get error message saying can't find package mysql
[09:12] <iceroot> Fudge: from a var
[09:12] <subcool_> and the orignal isnt either...
[09:12] <histo> airsploit: how idd you deinstall it?
[09:12] <lordcyfer> The page that the bot propose is obsolete
[09:13] <airsploit> apt @ histo
[09:13] <histo> subcool_: it's case sensitive
[09:13] <Fudge> iceroot  my .bashrc has my GPGKEY fullname and debemail so i am not sure why it is not working, cant find the page to tell me how to test it
[09:13] <histo> lordcyfer: the first link
[09:13] <subcool_> histo, its not likeing the process.
[09:14] <iceroot> Fudge: man dch
[09:14] <lordcyfer> These laptop tests are now out of date, for newer tests see the Laptop Testing Team pages
[09:14] <subcool_> histo, root@kubuntu:/media# mount /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise /mnt
[09:14] <subcool_> mount: /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise already mounted or /mnt busy
[09:14] <subcool_> mount: according to mtab, /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise is already mounted on /mnt
[09:14] <hxm> Using ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, I have a php site using mysqli adodb_lite, after use apt-get upgrade the database connection stopped to work with a message error mysql connect (2) 2002, i restart the server and goes well for a few time, seems like mysql::ping wont reconnect
[09:14] <iceroot> Fudge: Each user should set DEBEMAIL or EMAIL in their shell initialization. For example:
[09:14] <iceroot> export EMAIL='J. Random Hacker<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:15] <airsploit> histo?
[09:15] <histo> subcool_: alright if you check mount you will see where /dev/mapper/MyVG-Precise is mounted if it's already mounted to /mnt
[09:15] <iceroot> Fudge: http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/dch/
[09:15] <histo> subcool_: there is no output when it works btw
[09:15] <Fudge> iceroot  thanks, I have it but am reading the page
[09:15] <subcool_> histo, its not working- by tab
[09:15] <histo> airsploit: apt-get install mysql
[09:15] <nyuszika7h> subcool_: that's because it's already mounted
[09:16] <nyuszika7h> bash doesn't complete already mounted things with Tab

[09:21] <subcool_> im glad im not at my sisters still, she has isdn - ugh- is that slow
[09:22] <histo> subcool_: okay now install any other packages you removed.
[09:23] <histo> subcool_: also you can edit the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base  file you changed as well as /etc/network/interfaces   and remove the nameserver lines that you added
[09:23] <subcool_> histo, i dont remember- lol
[09:23] <histo> subcool_: there should be a /var/log/apt/history.log   you can see what you remvoed
[09:28] <Gyro54> I am having internal errors caused by samba4? should I remove samba and replace? Is anyone else having these problems?
[09:30] <histo> Gyro54: where did you get samba4 from?
[09:30] <histo> !info samba
[09:31] <histo> ahh nvm I see it in universe
[09:31] <Gyro54> histo: I have no idea but it is causing continuous crashes. I did not install it
[09:31] <histo> Gyro54: well you had to install it. It's not a main component. You can remove it and install the samba package instead.
[09:32] <Gyro54> histo: will do - Thanks
[09:32] <subcool_> histo, i didnt just add them, i erased the origns. but icrated a back= so ill just replace it.
[09:33] <histo> subcool_: erased origins?
[09:33] <subcool_> histo, honestly im not really sure what to change the interfaces and /resov./resolve
[09:34] <histo> subcool_: just reboot and see if it works after you install network-manager
[09:35] <subcool_> k- thanks again histo.. ill see what it comes to..
[09:36] <subcool_> ill have to catch up with u later- im exhausted.
[09:37] <rndbit> when i press [edit] in network manager to edit my openvpn connection i get error "Did not receive a reply. ...". Anyone know what thing openvpn needs running for that?
[09:38] <rndbit> when i had vpn secrets stored in secure storage it would complain about missing handler or something, in log this error: [nm-vpn-connection.c:1405] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request.
[09:39] <c|oneman> noiceeee
[09:39] <c|oneman> I got xfce working with nx free
[09:42] <subcool_> histo, - yeah, didnt work
[09:44] <histo> subcool_: IDK what you did before I got here but sounds like you removed a bunch of stuff for no reason at all. Also you have a wierd partitioning scheme. Usually only used on servers
[09:44] <subcool_> histo, i only removed network manager and ufw
[09:44] <ewoerner> hi, i'm looking for postgresql 9.2 packages for raring

[09:46] <subcool_> histo, im rebooting into the liveusb...
[09:46] <subcool_> but- i have to goto bed..
[09:46] <subcool_> so- ill just catch up later'

[09:59] <guang> when i run webscurify on 10.04,the console tells "Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large".how to resolve it?
[10:02] <basiclaser> hello chaps i was wondering if anyone can help me disable the OSX apple 'boonngg' sound on bootup. I had ubuntu single boot installed this morning. I currently have no OS whilst im tweaking stuff, and really want to get rid of this sound first
[10:04] <guang> basiclaser:my ubuntu version is 10.04,system->startup application->gnome login sound.maybe you can try to disable it
[10:05] <DJones> basiclaser: Hopefully this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/24946/how-do-i-disable-the-drum-beat-sound-on-the-login-screen once you've got it installed
[10:06] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: sudo mv /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready{,-disabled}.ogg
[10:06] <john_rambo> flash plugin is installed but cant watch flash content
[10:07] <Muimi> I'm using an Ubuntu live CD, and I'd like to be able to attach my phone via USB, so that I can use the keyboard as an input.
[10:07] <basiclaser> ok just to clarify it is the OSX sound im trying to remove, infact when i turn on my mac, the screen is greyish white a la mac, it makes the mac sound, and then after an akward moment it boots into ubuntu
[10:07] <basiclaser> i want to remove the weird mac shell from the computer entirely
[10:07] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: so its a mac issue,you're wrong here
[10:08] <kevin574> hi all
[10:08] <basiclaser> yes but my only hope is to remove it through ubuntu as i dont have any OSX install discs
[10:09] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: makes more sense to ask in a os-x channel about the changes you have to do than here
[10:10] <basiclaser> ok thanks, on a similar note, which hd format does debian prefer, if any? and can i format with gparted? im looking but cant see the format option
[10:10] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: ext4 is widely used today, there is no real standard
[10:12] <basiclaser> im gonna try 'deleting' all drive content and replacing with zeros in desperate attempt to kill mac sound
[10:12] <basiclaser> i get the impression its coming from elsewhere though, the hd appears to be unallocated entirely
[10:13] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: it definetly comes from "somewhere" if the sound appears before you boot into any OS. uefi/bios (hoever apple names it) think
[10:14] <TakeItEZ> thing
[10:14] <basiclaser> where do you think that exists? i mean its not necessarily on the hdd right?
[10:14] <basiclaser> oh
[10:14] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: EFI, internal ROM, something like that
[10:14] <TakeItEZ> basiclaser: thats why you should ask in a mac-channel
[10:15] <DJones> basiclaser: The other place to ask is probably ##hardware

[10:31] <basiclaser> hey guys i intend on dual booting two different linuxes, should i install some sort of grub bootloader thing before installing the OS' ?
[10:32] <iceroot> basiclaser: grub will be installed by default
[10:32] <auronandace> basiclaser: if you install ubuntu last then you can use ubuntu's grub to boot the other linux too
[10:32] <iceroot> basiclaser: just install the two systems, the second should detect the first one and create grub entries
[10:32] <dr_willis> depending on the linuxes. t
[10:33] <dr_willis> you may need to do some grub tweaking
[10:33] <basiclaser> im gonna install ubuntu first then crunchbang
[10:33] <dr_willis> why use crunchbang at all?
[10:33] <Vinyas> My lockscreen turns on and off infinitely.. asking to enter password to unlock, after a while it timeout and turns off.
[10:34] <Vinyas> Is this the right place to ask this question?
[10:35] <dr_willis> Vinyas: if you are using ubuntu  yes.
[10:35] <Vinyas> Yeah, I am.
[10:35] <dr_willis> i turn off the lock stuff.
[10:35] <dr_willis> so no idea on lock issues
[10:35] <Vinyas> I lock it using CTRL+ALT+L
[10:36] <Vinyas> So, it keeps doing that until the battery goes dead.
[10:36] <Vinyas> How do you lock your computer when you're going afk?
[10:37] <dr_willis> i dont need to.. the dog dosent look at porn...

[10:38] <gypsydanger> what is the command to uninstall something
[10:38] <TakeItEZ> gypsydanger: sudo apt-get purge packagename
[10:38] <gypsydanger> got it thanks
[10:39] <TakeItEZ> gypsydanger: sudo apt-get remove packagename          if you want to keep configs
[10:39] <justafly> hi all
[10:39] <Vinyas> Posted the question in askubuntu. Hope someone has a solution.
[10:40] <varunendra> Vinyas, what is the version of Ubuntu you are using ?
[10:40] <Vinyas> 12.10
[10:40] <M1DLG> I have installed 12.04 32bit 4 times, every install goes fine until first boot  and then refuses to startup to desktop. I get a boot error "starting load fallback graphics device - fail" it's an nvidia card and the nvidia drivers are installed.
[10:41] <varunendra> 64 bit ?
[10:41] <Vinyas> Updated from 12.04 just 4 days back and have had more than 4 problems.
[10:41] <Vinyas> Yeah, 64.
[10:42] <M1DLG> oops 12.10 32bit. Anyone know how I can fix this?
[10:42] <varunendra> Vinyas,  I'm not sure I understand ur q correctly. What is the url of your q @ askubuntu ?
[10:42] <dr_willis> install the nvidia drivers via the console...  what card is it?
[10:42] <Vinyas> http://askubuntu.com/questions/263800/lock-screen-turn-off-and-on-goes-to-a-loop-asking-to-enter-password-to-unlock
[10:43] <M1DLG> thanks dr_willis, it's a 8600 512mb card
[10:43] <dr_willis> and is it a dual gpu optimus thing.
[10:43] <ribot> nyuszika7h: thanks
[10:43] <varunendra> k. will take a look, no ideas atm,
[10:43] <nyuszika7h> you're wel-
[10:43] <nyuszika7h> whatever
[10:43] <M1DLG> optimus? no idea
[10:43] <dr_willis> !info nvidia-current
[10:43] <Vinyas> varunendra: Thanks.
[10:43] <varunendra> :)
[10:43] <dr_willis> optimus is on many new laptoos
[10:44] <M1DLG> ok
[10:44] <M1DLG> I am stuck on boot can i break this like i can under windoze f5/f8?
[10:46] <dr_willis> !text
[10:46] <savior> 求助
[10:46] <M1DLG> thank you again :)
[10:48] <varunendra> Vinyas,
[10:49] <Vinyas> Yeah, I'm still here. You have any solution?
[10:51] <varunendra> Vinyas, see the dialogue tab above..
[10:51] <Vinyas> Sorry, I didn't get you.
[10:52] <varunendra> 1 to 1 dialogue tab :) - among the list of channels open
[10:52] <Vinyas> Oh, lol ok.
[10:57] <whhhhhh> why can't ubuntu detect my tuner card ?
[10:57] <whhhhhh> whyyyyy
[10:58] <L33T> hi
[10:58] <dr_willis> hardware maker releases no specs whhhhhh
[10:59] <whhhhhh> what do you mean ?
[10:59] <Vinyas> Ah! I got the solution, thanks to varunendra! Apparently VLC(or any other media player) running in the background was doing it.
[10:59] <dr_willis> if the hardware maker dosent try to support linux.. its hard to support their hardware.
[10:59] <varunendra> Yay!!
[11:01] <whhhhhh> it is based on command chipset
[11:02] <vorlket> hi i want to install raid0 of /srv on three disks and the rest on another disk. how do i do that?

[11:11] <pseudonymous_> A quick ref on how to DISABLE a service using upstart ? I need to disable whoopsie for a series of tests - but I don't feel like removing it (especially because it isn't my server)
[11:12] <jrib> pseudonymous_: read about manual overrides in the upstart cookbook
[11:23] <TakeItEZ> pseudonymous_: add "manual" to the upstart-script (/etc/init/*.conf)
[11:24] <varunendra> vorlket, cmos is the eeprom chip on the motherboard that holds the BIOS program.
[11:25] <vorlket> varunendra: okay
[11:25] <basiclaser> hey guys when i try to install crunchbang, it doesnt boot i get a flashing question but when i install ubuntu which eventually boots. what is happening to create this difference?
[11:27] <varunendra> basiclaser, try boot-repair. If it can't help I guess a crunchbang forum or maybe a dedicated channel would be a good place to ask.
[11:29] <basiclaser> varunendra: the options i have are load debconf prefconfiguration file and change debconf priority
[11:30] <varunendra> basiclaser, no idea about that, sorry. What happens if you load the preconfiguration btw ?
[11:31] <basiclaser> varunendra: it said the file could not be retrieved
[11:32] <varunendra> :( Again, try boot repair.
[11:32] <basiclaser> varunendra:  yeh ok i cant find that option atm, could i use ubuntu live disk to access that function?
[11:33] <varunendra> u mean boot-repair ?
[11:34] <basiclaser> varunendra:  yeh
[11:34] <varunendra> basiclaser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

[11:44] <Amin> greetings all
[11:45] <linuxist> greetings Amin
[11:45] <Amin> can anyone please check this bug on launchpad and see if they can help me
[11:45] <Amin> here is the link
[11:45] <Amin> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1137317
[11:46] <linuxist> Amin: what are your MTUs on the broken ethernet adapter?
[11:46] <Amin> Am still an amateur
[11:46] <ikonia> quit
[11:46] <ikonia> oops
[11:46] <ikonia> sorry
[11:46] <Amin> can you define what is MTU?
[11:46] <linuxist> Amin: no problems, go to the console and type "ifconfig eth0"
[11:47] <linuxist> then look for a line like this "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:"
[11:47] <Amin> 1500
[11:47] <linuxist> ah ok
[11:47] <Amin> but am using wireless connection and not a wired one
[11:47] <linuxist> that's still ok
[11:47] <linuxist> we just had a bunch of people upgrade Ubuntu at work last week and all their MTUs were wrong
[11:47] <linuxist> I thought it might be another case of that
[11:47] <k1l> that is not a problem of the MTU. that is some package stuff gone wrong, imho
[11:48] <Amin> my wlan0 MTU  is also 1500
[11:48] <Amin> well how can i fix that
[11:48] <Amin> i cant upgrade at all
[11:48] <k1l> Amin: run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[11:48] <Amin> i need to upgrade my packages
[11:48] <Amin> i did
[11:48] <Amin> it wont upgrade
[11:49] <Amin> even sudo apt-get -f install gives me an error
[11:49] <Amin> i will give it another try anyway
[11:49] <k1l> Amin: i think that the maintainer there made a misstake and when he fixed that it will update the packages and that will be solved
[11:50] <Amin> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[11:50] <Amin> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[11:50] <Amin>  linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-extra-3.5.0-25-generic but it is not installed
[11:50] <Amin> E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
[11:50] <Amin> it still wont work
[11:51] <k1l> Amin: you have PPAs or other 3rd party sources included?
[11:53] <Amin> i do
[11:53] <Amin> but the package causing the problem is linux-generic-image
[11:53] <Amin> the kernel that is
[11:56] <varunendra> Amin, try clearing the cached packages then retry an update
[11:57] <Amin> also used the janitor
[11:57] <Amin> but can you suggest a better way to clean up the cache?
[11:58] <TakeItEZ> sudo apt-get clean
[11:58] <varunendra> sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:59] <m1dlg> I've tried with minimum help, i know you guys are busy. i cant work this out. I have no video driver by the looks of it. I get text if i go into rescue mode, and im in console ok on the pc but normal boot freezes. this all happened after install and then trying to install nvidia driver i drivers
[11:59] <m1dlg> i have tryed commands like apt-get etc... but I get  /var/lib/dpkg/lock errors
[11:59] <varunendra> Amin, I hope u understand you'll need a working internet connection
[12:00] <Ben64> m1dlg: give more info. what video card, what did you do to install it, what version of ubuntu, etc
[12:00] <amcsi_work> ./configure --with-libssh2= ... where is my libssh2? how can I find it?
[12:00] <Ben64> !info libssh2-1-dev | amcsi_work
[12:00] <Amin> i do
[12:00] <Amin> am trying it
[12:00] <Amin> it still gives me the same error
[12:00] <m1dlg> ben64, 12.10 32 bit desktop version. and it's a 8600 512 card
[12:01] <Ben64> m1dlg: so its not a laptop?
[12:01] <varunendra> Amin, @ which command ?
[12:01] <m1dlg> no, pc. i'm using a laptop to get this chat
[12:02] <Ben64> m1dlg: and how did you install nvidia?
[12:02] <amcsi_work> but where is it located?
[12:02] <amcsi_work> I need to point to it
[12:02] <Amin> first
[12:02] <Ben64> amcsi_work: try the "find" and/or "locate" commands
[12:02] <varunendra> apt-get clean ????
[12:02] <rsvp> the updated pidgin feels more solid... do you concur?
[12:02] <amcsi_work> an article I am reading says I should put /usr/local, but I don't see libssh2 there
[12:03] <TakeItEZ> amcsi_work: dpkg -L packagename
[12:03] <m1dlg> the little pci device symbol that came up about a minute after getting the first desktop boot.
[12:03] <Amin> i guess
[12:03] <Amin> do you want me to capture the output to a file and send it to u
[12:03] <Amin> ?
[12:03] <Ben64> m1dlg: so you're at the recovery console now
[12:04] <m1dlg> yes
[12:04] <varunendra> try each command separately (&& id a joiner)
[12:04] <Ben64> m1dlg: mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /
[12:04] <varunendra> *is
[12:04] <m1dlg> k
[12:04] <Amin> autoremove wont work
[12:05] <Amin> unmet dependencies
[12:05] <amcsi_work> Is this what I need then? /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssh2.so.1.0.1
[12:05] <Amin> linux-image-extra-3.5.0-25-generic
[12:05] <amcsi_work> because it showed multiple rows as results for dpkg -L packagename
[12:06] <m1dlg> ok, i guess this gave me read write access, should I try to apt-get again?
[12:06] <Ben64> m1dlg: apt-get what
[12:07] <varunendra> Amin, see the channel list and reply the dialogue one I just opened for you
[12:07] <m1dlg> the drivers, I was trying to follow help pages I'd found, but i couldnt get started

[12:09] <atodex> hello
[12:10] <atodex> guys, I have a "big" problem and it's driving me nuts
[12:10] <atodex> the volume button disappeared from the menu bar
[12:10] <Ben64> atodex: did you uninstall pulseaudio
[12:10] <atodex> I know that it's in the notification applet, but it's not anymore, reinstalled pulseaudio
[12:10] <e-dard> Hi all. I have to (reluctantly) enable password-based logins to one of our boxes for a user. For some weird reason, SSH won't accept the password when connecting. Password is fine locally. Any ideas?
[12:11] <e-dard> I have even changed it to something simple like 'apple' and it won't' accept it!
[12:11] <ikonia> e-dard: what does the auth log say
[12:11] <e-dard> PasswordAuthentication yes in sshd_config and I have done sudo service ssh restart
[12:11] <nearst> hi ppl
[12:12] <e-dard> ikonia: Failed password for ubuntu from 122.xxx.xxx.xx port 59726 ssh2
[12:12] <ikonia> e-dard: ok, so you need to look at how it's doing the auth
[12:12] <ikonia> e-dard: did you set clear text passwords to enabled ?
[12:13] <e-dard> but above it it says something like: sshd[7631]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for [HOSTNAME] [xxx.xxx.xxx.xx] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!
[12:13] <ikonia> e-dard: that's ok, your dns is messed up
[12:13] <e-dard> ikonia: so "POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT" does not imply it may have banned password access for user?
[12:14] <ikonia> e-dard: are you using a password locking process, such as fail2ban ?
[12:14] <e-dard> (not sure what default security settings on Ubuntu VMs are)
[12:15] <amcsi_work> this is so frustrating
[12:15] <jackarg> hello I was here yesterday and i was helped but in vain. I'll ask again to see if anyone knows. I just installed nvidia graphics ('nvidia-current' and others) and then my computer got stuck in unity 2D with a 640x480 resolution. I deleted all the nvidia stuff, purged the ppa, and now i have unity 3D, but I am STILL stuck in the low resolution. PLEASE any help would be really really appreciated
[12:15] <Amin> am sry back
[12:15] <e-dard> ikonia: no not using fail2ban (yet)
[12:15] <amcsi_work> I ./configured a libcurl with ssh support
[12:15] <ikonia> e-dard: then the password is not locked
[12:15] <amcsi_work> it seemingly went well
[12:15] <atodex> guys, is it normal to get some clipping effect from pulesaudio? it's annoying as Hell
[12:15] <amcsi_work> I did make, I have NO idea whether it worked
[12:15] <ikonia> e-dard: you can verify this by doing "su - user" and testing the password
[12:15] <ikonia> amcsi_work: then why are you doing it ?
[12:15] <amcsi_work> then make install, NO idea if it worked, and NO idea where it would have installed it if it worked
[12:16] <ikonia> amcsi_work: why are you blindly typing commands
[12:16] <amcsi_work> how am I supposed to figure these things out?
[12:16] <ikonia> amcsi_work: by asking
[12:16] <ikonia> amcsi_work: rather than blindly typing commands
[12:16] <nearst> howdy
[12:16] <amcsi_work> please help me with getting curl with libssh2 working
[12:16] <amcsi_work> I was looking at online articles
[12:16] <ikonia> amcsi_work: I'm not undoing what you've done,
[12:16] <e-dard> ikonia: aha! doesn't work!
[12:16] <amcsi_work> and failing with them as usual
[12:16] <ikonia> e-dard: we have a winner
[12:16] <amcsi_work> I probably didn't do anything
[12:17] <e-dard> ikonia: I guess the VM I'm using is setup weird (by default it's setup with no passwords and just keys for getting in)
[12:17] <m1dlg> is there anyway of slowing down the messages in recovery console everytime i type a command?
[12:17] <e-dard> It's an EC2 ubuntu vm
[12:17] <amcsi_work> would you please help assuming I didn't do anything?
[12:18] <aguitel> is there any way to install upgrades after april/2013 in 10.04 ?
[12:18] <jackarg> seriously can anyone help about the low screen reslution this is kind of urgent considering my laptop is partly unsuable now!!
[12:19] <e-dard> ikonia: so any idea where to go next with this?
[12:19] <ikonia> e-dard: lets look at this a bit higher level
[12:19] <nearst> xrandr
[12:19] <ikonia> amcsi_work: you did do things though - that will effect what you do next
[12:19] <ikonia> e-dard: is this VM something you / your business built ?
[12:20] <amcsi_work> I tried to make install a curl installation, but most likely failed
[12:20] <amcsi_work> before that I successfully installed a libssh2-1 by source, but I don't know where
[12:21] <e-dard> ikonia: no it's canonical's EC2 VM. It's in list of official VMs when deploying new instance
[12:21] <Ben64> amcsi_work: this channel isn't really for helping out with compilation
[12:21] <ikonia> e-dard: ok, so it should be a stock vm image, agreed ?
[12:21] <nearst> amcsi_work, usually compile binary is on /usr/local/bin
[12:21] <e-dard> ikonia: yup. natty
[12:22] <ikonia> e-dard: ok, so lets do this "sudo password username"
[12:22] <e-dard> done that
[12:22] <ikonia> e-dard: set the users password
[12:22] <e-dard> yup
[12:22] <ikonia> e-dard: ok, now test it with su - user
[12:22] <e-dard> oh wait....
[12:22] <amcsi_work> thanks, nearst
[12:22] <e-dard> oh wait….I have done sudo passwd, before… Not sudo passwd *my_user*
[12:22] <ikonia> e-dard: ok, that's the problem
[12:23] <slacks> :P
[12:23] <ikonia> e-dard: your not setting the right users password
[12:23] <e-dard> I'm setting root password, right….. *facepalm*
[12:23] <Ben64> also opens up a second problem
[12:23] <Ben64> yep
[12:23] <ikonia> e-dard: lets put it back to normal
[12:23] <tekk> hi guys, i'm running Ubuntu from a Mac Mini with BIOS emulation
[12:23] <ikonia> e-dard: sudo passwd -l root
[12:23] <Ben64> root password as "apple" :|
[12:23] <tekk> i'd rather boot natively with EFI...
[12:23] <tekk> can anyone let me know if this is stable now ? and point me in the right directioN? (apple's EFI isn't UEFI)
[12:23] <e-dard> Ben64: it's not apple, and it's not possible to ssh in with root anyway ;-)
[12:23] <tekk> 12.04 server
[12:24] <e-dard> Is lock equivalent to remove then?
[12:24] <ikonia> e-dard: pretty much
[12:24] <ikonia> e-dard: so lets re-lock your root password
[12:24] <IzzoDizzo> anybody running ubuntu on a macbook pro? (optimus technology)
[12:25] <e-dard> but it does't stop me from being able to use sudo right?
[12:25] <e-dard> 3
[12:25] <IzzoDizzo> i'm unable to get the nvidia drivers to show anything, and nouveau drivers random freeze :x
[12:25] <ikonia> e-dard: correct
[12:25] <ikonia> e-dard: no risk
[12:25] <e-dard> OK, done that and will now do user password properly :)
[12:26] <benedikt> is there a (3-rd party, non-canonical) flavour of ubuntu that is as wonderfully usable but free of the privacy issues ubuntu comes with these days?
[12:26] <tekk> basically, i have 2 Mac Mini's one running debian booting from efi and another from ubuntu bios emulation…. the ubuntu box's kvm guests randomly start consuming more and more CPU… until eventually the box dies… this doesn't happen on the debian box with the same VM
[12:26] <tekk> the only differences i can think of are
[12:26] <tekk> DEbian vs Ubuntu
[12:26] <tekk> EFI vs BIOS emu
[12:26] <tekk> and different kernels
[12:26] <ejv> e-dard: man passwd ; straight from the documentation about -l, --lock: "Note that this does not disable the account. The user may still be able to login using another authentication token (e.g. an SSH key)."
[12:27] <ejv> benedikt: sounds like you want #debian, good luck.
[12:28] <benedikt> ejv: long time debian user.
[12:28] <e-dard> ikonia: awesome! thanks for help. (very silly of me that one)
[12:28] <benedikt> ejv: no, what i want is a "ubuntu flavour without privacy issues"
[12:28] <ikonia> e-dard: not a problem
[12:28] <ikonia> benedikt: ubuntu is fine for that
[12:28] <ejv> shhh ikonia
[12:28] <ejv> o:-)
[12:29] <benedikt> ikonia: no, ubuntu has huge privacy issues and i dont feel like i can trust canonical any more than facebook.
[12:29] <e-dard> ikonia: I'm not used to passwords in all reality…  I know that I uninstalled pulseaudio, but I can't find how to reinstall it again. I spent freaking 3 hours trying to make my sound work and I am tired, mad, damn. I want to specify, I have a Razer Megalodon 7.1 headset. Can you help me?
[12:29] <ejv> !language | atodex
[12:30] <atodex> sry for language, but I am really tired
[12:30] <benedikt> DJones: it's not a question of being able to disable it, i'm asking if there is an ubuntu flavour that does not accept using this as the default or not?
[12:30] <ejv> no apologies necessary, sames goes for excuses :)
[12:30] <ikonia> benedikt: don't use it then, there are other distros, good luck
[12:30] <ejv> s/sames/same/g
[12:31] <Ben64> atodex: how did you uninstall pulseaudio
[12:31] <benedikt> ikonia: so yes, this channel is of use to me, since i'm staying off topic. I've used linux for decades, you dont need to educate me about other distros, thats off-topic.
[12:31] <atodex> followed a guide online
[12:31] <ikonia> benedikt: ok, then you know the answer.
[12:31] <Ben64> atodex: i mean what command did you do
[12:31] <nearst> zzz
[12:31] <IzzoDizzo> why a ubuntu flavour benedikt?
[12:31] <benedikt> and, funnily enough, lack of proper pulseaudio support is why i dont want debian at the moment
[12:32] <benedikt> IzzoDizzo: ubuntu/canonical have made a buch of technical stuff for linux on the desktop that is really good.
[12:32] <atodex> it's insane, I kept getting sound clipping
[12:32] <k1l> benedikt: can we stick to real technical support issues in here? thanks. we have #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss for the other topics
[12:32] <Ben64> atodex: maybe you should come back when you're not tired
[12:33] <benedikt> k1l: i'm not the one discussing. i'm asking a technical question but i get discussions and off-topic replies.
[12:33] <atodex> I have to make my sound work eventually, it's just that I don't understand the ALSA, pulseaudio
[12:33] <ejv> benedikt: the other (common) flavors of the ubuntu family are (of course) xubuntu, kubuntu, and lubuntu. if you feel that ubuntu has some shortcomings, you're welcome to use an alternative or fork Ubuntu (good luck) and mold it to your likings.
[12:33] <nearst> what technical question?
[12:33] <benedikt> atodex: pulseaudio is a userspace application that talks to ALSA. It sits on top of ALSA, there is a pretty good graphic in the wikipedia article about pulseaudio that explains the big picture
[12:34] <Myrtti> benedikt: feel free to use xubuntu, lubuntu or kubuntu, or install gnome-shell on top of the minimal install.
[12:34] <k1l> benedikt: dont play that card. you know what questions you were asking.  since the lense searches are part of unity just dont use unity if you dont want that.
[12:34] <benedikt> Myrtti: ejv: do they have the same privacy issues as the stock ubuntu version?
[12:34] <atodex> so, I have to have ALSA and pulseaudio together, then?
[12:34] <Ben64> atodex: no
[12:34] <benedikt> atodex: no, but thats how ubuntu does it
[12:35] <benedikt> k1l: i know what i asked, hence why i defended it. something is hould not need to do.
[12:35] <k1l> benedikt: you got your answers. so we can drop that polaraizing sidetalks about that.
[12:35] <ejv> benedikt: it's rather clear no answer will satisfy you, please move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss; thank you very much.
[12:36] <benedikt> ejv: geez. it's a yes/no question.
[12:36] <verysoftoiletppr> hi
[12:36] <newbie-13thDay> hey i'm using irssi and want it to beep when my nick is mentioned ! i followed the "/help" and typed ' /set bell_beeps ON '  but still don't work
[12:36] <benedikt> k1l: no, i have the same amount of knowledge as when i came in.
[12:36] <ikonia> benedikt: please define privacy issues
[12:36] <ikonia> benedikt: the amazon lense or more
[12:36] <Myrtti> benedikt: xubuntu doesn't have anything like adlens, neither does kubuntu. I'm pretty certain gnome-shell doesn't have anything like it either, even less lubuntu.
[12:37] <crizis> disabling it is one click in 'Privacy' panel ....
[12:37] <benedikt> ikonia: lsense issues.
[12:37] <benedikt> Myrtti: Thank you!
[12:37] <ikonia> benedikt: ok - so all the techologies Myrtti don't have it, but you can also diable it in the default ubuntu
[12:37] <verysoftoiletppr> I'm trying to install fail2ban with apt-get but I get this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584995/
[12:37] <benedikt> k1l: ejv: ikonia: thats the answer to the question i asked.
[12:38] <ikonia> benedikt: I gave you that answer but you said you didn't trust ubuntu, which is wy I said there was no point progressing it
[12:38] <ejv> exactly. ikonia++
[12:38] <benedikt> ikonia: no, your answer was "use another distro"
[12:38] <ikonia> verysoftoiletppr: missing directory
[12:38] <ikonia> benedikt: no not initially
[12:38] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, try sudo apt-get install --fix-missing
[12:38] <verysoftoiletppr> ikonia I can read, however I don't understand the meaning
[12:39] <ejv> i prefer not to ask users' opinions of the operating system, this channel is for support, not for commentary on what people "think" they know about the environment.
[12:39] <ikonia> verysoftoiletppr: good luck with your troubleshooting then, thanks for the smart response
[12:39] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 124 not upgraded.
[12:39] <verysoftoiletppr> ikonia sorry
[12:39] <benedikt> ikonia: your initial response was "ubuntu is fine for that" (not answering the question) and the second was "use another distro". I'm not here to teach you how to behave in a support/help channel, so i will leave it at suggesting you to lurk #debian to see how things are done there.
[12:40] <nearst> verysoftoiletppr, try go to /var/cache/apt/

[12:43] <Eagleman> I am using this rule to connect to to my windows 2008 guest with RDP:  -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:3389. This rule is added on an ubuntu guest os which is in the <IP_ADDRESS> network and i am able to ping the server from the ubuntu guest at <IP_ADDRESS>, however when trying to connect to example.com:4000 i am unable to get a connection, any idea what i did wrong?
[12:43] <jony> my USB stick wont mount in Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit desktop, why?
[12:44] <alex88> Eagleman: trying to connect to example.com:4000 from where? what's the expected behavior?
[12:44] <phunyguy> jony, some details would help.
[12:44] <ejv> jony: patebin your dmesg, we're not mind-readers.
[12:44] <ejv> s/patebin/pastebin/
[12:45] <Eagleman> alex88: I am currently remote, it should connect to the windows 2008 server using rdp
[12:45] <jony> details? please give me an ex.
[12:45] <alex88> sure, but on port 3389 not 4000
[12:45] <phunyguy> jony, ejv just did
[12:46] <Eagleman> alex88: port 4000 on example.com is forwarded to <IP_ADDRESS>:3389, 3389 is the port where rdp is running on
[12:46] <jony> what is patebin dmesg?
[12:46] <ejv> jony: patebin is a typo for pastebin
[12:46] <ejv> !pastebin | jony
[12:46] <phunyguy> jony, paste the contents of the "dmesg" command in a terminal.
[12:46] <alex88> oh sure... mmhh... have you tried to run a dump on windows subnet? to check if packets goes to the windows machine?
[12:46] <tekk> another question
[12:47] <tekk> can virtual box work with a raw .img file as hard disk?
[12:47] <phunyguy> !dmesg | jony
[12:47] <tekk> or must it be in qcow or vdi format ?
[12:47] <ejv> oooo didn't know about that one phunyguy ;)
[12:47] <jony> what message to paste?
[12:47] <jony> ok, got it
[12:48] <verysoftoiletppr> nearst it seems I can't install that either. To give you a bit more of context, the server is running all the time and it never broke until yesterday. Today I had to restart the server, because it was non responsive, and now I have this problem.
[12:48] <Eagleman> alex88: let me get back on that
[12:48] <BenyaminL> hmm..
[12:48] <BenyaminL> Hello

[12:51] <ejv> jony: well done; now as you can see toward the bottom of that file, your Corsair USB stick is clearly being identified, and marked as /dev/sdb1. Example of how to proceed: mkdir /media/usbkey; mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbkey; Enjoy.
[12:51] <phunyguy> ejv, maybe gvfs isn't working for him
[12:51] <daveetheridge> BenyaminL, what graphics card do you have in your laptop?

[12:58] <phunyguy> jony, is this by any chance an encrypted USB device?
[12:58] <jony> no, in windows works very well
[12:59] <phunyguy> jony that doesn't mean it isn't encrypted.
[12:59] <phunyguy> is it formatted NTFS?
[12:59] <BenyaminL> It shown a list of runing apps? And then? What suppose i do?
[12:59] <ejv> an entry in fstab is not necessary to mount the device
[12:59] <minas> to "show desktop", I have to press CTRL-ALT-D twice. Is this a bug?
[12:59] <varunendra> which app is on top ?
[13:00] <daveetheridge> BenyaminL, Use '>' key to scroll across the columns until the CPU with the highest usage is at the top

[13:06] <ejv> !anyone | heraclitis
[13:06] <varunendra> BenyaminL, there should be a line highlighted in white. Look for "CPU" in it and post the number below it

[13:11] <Lynxx> i have an issue, i'm on ubuntu 12.10 using the KDE desktop environment, it has worked perfect til today, About an hour ago the clock shows a wrong time, going to adjust time shows that the correct time is being displayed there. I tried restarting etc., but its still messed up. What can i do
[13:11] <Lynxx> ?
[13:11] <varunendra> minas, wut do u mean ?
[13:12] <ejv> jony: sudo umount /media/usbkey; sudo mount -w /dev/sdb1 /media/usbkey
[13:12] <minas> varunendra, I asked something above and you replied afterwards with a question. Was the question for me to answer?
[13:12] <Lynxx> like right now its 7:12 am but it shows 1:12 pm
[13:12] <Lynxx> if i adjust the clock up an hour it shows 2:12pm
[13:12] <Lynxx> and so fourth.. what the heck
[13:12] <ejv> jony: if that doesn't work, something else might be wrong; I can't really troubleshoot FAT issues, never use it.
[13:12] <ubilli> please i am having problem with my wireless on a ralink 5390 can anyone help me please
[13:12] <IzzoDizzo> Lynxx: is the correct timezone active?

[13:13] <Lynxx> even shows the normal time on the login screen
[13:13] <sharperguy> Does anyone here know about networking? I'm trying to send UDP packets over a point-to-point ethernet connection (link-local in networkmanager), but even when I bind the socket to the address of eth0 and says it sent successfully, I see nothing on wireshark. Also when I disconnect the wifi connection, even though I'm trying to send with eth0 which is connected, it now says network unreachable.
[13:13] <Lynxx> its just the display on the launcher is wrong
[13:14] <minas> Lynxx, is the time set to "automatically from the internet"?
[13:14] <Lynxx> yes
[13:14] <Lynxx> wel no
[13:14] <sukima> Is it possible to setup a boot loader menu that lets you pick from using the nvidia drivers to the ATI drivers and visa-versa? I have a system on an external drive which I would like to have 3D support but this drive often will swap from two computers with different graphics cards.
[13:14] <Lynxx> but i did select that
[13:14] <minas> Lynxx, and?
[13:14] <minas> any changes?
[13:14] <ubilli> please can anyone in the room help me with my wireless network..
[13:14] <Lynxx> the time within the time settings dialogue shows correct time

[13:55] <ensi> as soon as i log in compiz crashes and i cant use the system

[13:56] <m1dlg> I've tried on my own with minimal help, but I give up, I am still failing with my Nvidia card and nothing I do works. It's a 32bit 12.10 install, and the card is a 8600 GT 512Mb PCI-e. I have a fairly fresh install, and I appear to have no drivers at all after using the installer for propritory drivers did it's deed and rebooted. I can either boot the live disk or the rescue shell (and there now), thats as much as Ive been able 2do. an
[13:56] <ensi> thmz: doesnt work, the host will grab that
[13:56] <ensi> im in virtualbox
[13:56] <m1dlg> So much for trying to teach myself :(
[13:57] <ensi> mdiers_: did you install the nvidia proprietary package?
[13:57] <ensi> nvidia has quite good installer + instructions
[13:57] <BluesKaj> m1dlg, open a terminal and run l, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , then reboot
[13:57] <varunendra> ubilli, so is the wireless network up now ?
[13:57] <artrei> ensi, have you tried change the host key?
[13:57] <ubilli> no varunendra
[13:58] <ensi> artrei: elaborate
[13:58] <varunendra> it looks like you cancelled the command with ^C, ubilli
[13:58] <ensi> artrei: you mean change virtual tty keys for something else in the host
[13:58] <artrei> ensi,in my virtualbox my host key is rightCTRL
[13:58] <m1dlg> artrei, i though I had using the driver tool that popped up on the desk top, but it appears it just killed the basic ones already there then screwed up.
[13:58] <ensi> artrei: same here
[13:59] <ubilli> should i try it again..
[13:59] <varunendra> ubilli, you had to enter your password that you use to login. It won't show up while typing, just type correctly and press Enter.
[13:59] <m1dlg> bluekaj, trying that now (sounds familier)
[14:00] <varunendra> ubilli, see my private message
[14:00] <BluesKaj> m1dlg, it should work on the 8600
[14:01] <m1dlg> ensi, i cant reply to private messages on this platform
[14:01] <m1dlg> bluekaj, I get the same lock error I had earlier
[14:01] <jbobaj> I'm trying to use a laptop running 12.04 as a wireless router. All three of the wireless adapters I've tried have refused to set their modes when I try to do so with iwconfig mode (master|adhoc). I think I'm missing something?
[14:01] <ubilli> ok..
[14:02] <m1dlg> bluekaj, ben64 said mount -o remount,rw /dev/null / earlier so Im going to try that
[14:04] <m1dlg> I get broken packages errors
[14:05] <BluesKaj> m1dlg, have you updated/upgraded at all ?
[14:06] <m1dlg> I have no idea what I've done now, I've tried several different things but everything has some sort of error
[14:06] <ensi> m1dlg: sounds like fun :)
[14:06] <BluesKaj> what was tyhe remount for ?
[14:07] <buffymcmuffy>  running 13.04. every now and again it hangs (I suspect compiz) forcing me to power down and restart. Is there a log somewhere that would help track the problem down?
[14:08] <alex88> Eagleman: those have nothing to do with rdp right?
[14:08] <alex88> sorry was at lunch
[14:08] <m1dlg> I had an error telling me I had a locked file and that error went away with that line
[14:08] <Eagleman> alex88: yes they do, its filtered on port 3387 ( rdp )
[14:08] <Eagleman> alex88: It looks like the server cant reach that other ip adress becuase its in a isolated network

[14:09] <alex88> Eagleman: from ubuntu you can't rdp?
[14:09] <igungor> hey
[14:09] <Eagleman> alex88: no from another external location
[14:10] <g0tcha> hey guys, 'add-apt-repository' is to add a PPA to the repositories, whats the command to remove a PPA?
[14:10] <igungor> is there anyone use imac24 and ubuntu 12.04lts and can hear a sound via headphone?
[14:10] <k1l> g0tcha: ppa-purge
[14:10] <Eagleman> alex88: have you seen this?  http://imagebin.org/248911
[14:10] <igungor> i've tried several macbook models for snd-hda-intel but none of them seem to work
[14:10] <igungor> no sound when i plug the headphone
[14:11] <BluesKaj> m1dlg, sudo dpkg --configutre -a , it might clear broken packages , then sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:11] <alex88> Eagleman: yeah..so isn't it working?
[14:11] <Eagleman> alex88: no, becuase its not able to connect to the 217.*.*.* address
[14:12] <alex88> oh the response you mean?
[14:12] <Eagleman> it cant respond
[14:12] <BluesKaj> I have to leave , BBL
[14:12] <m1dlg> bluekaj, thanks for trying
[14:12] <alex88> Eagleman: ok.. maybe you need to snat too
[14:12] <alex88> and set the source ip to the ubuntu server
[14:13] <Eagleman> yeh that should work
[14:15] <Eagleman> alex88: any idea how this can be changed to snat?  -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:3389
[14:16] <alex88> Eagleman: -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -J SNAT --from-source...etc maybe
[14:16] <alex88> but give me a second
[14:17] <alex88> -j SNAT --to-source (windows subnet ubuntu's ip)
[14:18] <alen_> hi
[14:19] <g0tcha> k1l, that didnt work
[14:20] <Eagleman> alex88: like this?  -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:3389 -j SNAT --to-source <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:20] <alex88> Eagleman: nope
[14:20] <alex88> it's another route
[14:20] <Eagleman> the source should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:20] <alex88> -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -J SNAT --to-source <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:20] <alex88> try that
[14:21] <nearst> hi ppl
[14:21] <DJJeff> im notice that jdb2 is write to disk every 3-5 seconds
[14:21] <DJJeff> is there a way to have it speed up
[14:21] <Eagleman> alex88: wont that change everything incoming from the eth0.10 interface and rewrite the source to 100.10 ?
[14:21] <DJJeff> so it gets done faster
[14:22] <alex88> yup
[14:22] <alex88> Eagleman: oh true
[14:22] <alex88> Eagleman: also use
[14:22] <Eagleman> alex88: then everything else will stop working
[14:22] <alex88> mmhh
[14:22] <alex88> use -o windows_net_interface
[14:22] <alex88> and set that to the interface that's using for the windows subnet
[14:24] <patrunjel> Hi, could anyone please recommend a tool for breaking up a large .tar.bz file into multiple files of a given size?
[14:24] <Eagleman> alex88: hold on this is getting confusing, the hypervisor is kvm on archlinux, this can be avoided. everything on port 4000 needs another source ip address
[14:25] <alex88> yup
[14:25] <alex88> well, everything coming from eth0.10 and going to windows bix
[14:25] <alex88> *box
[14:25] <alex88> needs to be snatted
[14:26] <Eagleman> alex88: so i will need this to forward port 4000 to port 3389, this id done with this, -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:3389   and then i need a snat rule
[14:26] <Eagleman> -o windows_net_interface  there isnt a real interface which goes to only the windows machine
[14:27] <Eagleman> alex88: so it would become:  -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -o eth1 -J SNAT --to-source <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:28] <Eagleman> eth1 is on <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:28] <alex88> Eagleman: yeah, maybe filter by port
[14:28] <alex88> too
[14:28] <krux> patrunjel, http://trulymanaged.com/blog/how-to-split-a-large-files-to-multiple-parts-using-tar/ check that out see if it works
[14:28] <Eagleman> -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -o eth1 -J SNAT --to-source <IP_ADDRESS> --dport 3389
[14:28] <patrunjel> krux, thanks
[14:29] <alex88> Eagleman: I think dport should be set before -J
[14:29] <Eagleman> lets see if it works
[14:30] <patrunjel> krux, the website doesn't load, but I'll dig into tar some more and see if I figure out a way to use it for the job
[14:31] <smartracer> how to get spread in unity
[14:31] <krux> yeah it took a minute but it loaded.. check this link then see if this works seems a little different
[14:31] <krux> patrunjel, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1120095/split-files-using-tar-gz-zip-or-bzip2
[14:32] <patrunjel> krux, that was exactly what I was reading now, lol :D I'll use split :D
[14:32] <krux> sweet :)
[14:32] <smartracer> how to get spread option in unity
[14:32] <alex88> Eagleman: good luck
[14:33] <smartracer> how to get spread option in unity?
[14:33] <ankur> hey, i had just install ubuntu studio 12.04 and the brightness of the screen is too high and when i am trying to reduce it with function key it shows that the brightness bar is reducing but it doesnt effecting the brightness....my screen's brightness is still too high .........hellllppp
[14:34] <spason> Is this where I can find ubuntu help?  I have a simple question, it is driving me insane.
[14:34] <ikonia> spason: you're in the right place
[14:35] <spason> So, I have a Powerbook g4 with the powerpc architecture
[14:35] <ankur> hey
[14:35] <spason> ubuntu 10.04 install disk
[14:35] <phunyguy> !enter | spason
[14:35] <ankur> can any one help me!!!!!
[14:35] <ikonia> ankur: need to ask a question for us to know that
[14:35] <phunyguy> ankur: we can't help unless you ask your question.
[14:36] <ankur> i asked my question above
[14:36] <ankur> wait i will paste my question again
[14:36] <spason> thank you, sorry.  So, ubuntu 10.04 on a powerpc Powerbook G4.  Can boot from CD, but when I try to install onto the hard drive, it stalls during "copying files" portion, always at exactly 67%.  Any idea why?
[14:36] <phunyguy> then see !patience, ankur
[14:36] <phunyguy> !patience
[14:36] <ikonia> spason: if it's always that % - it may be a faulty disk
[14:36] <ankur> hey, i had just install ubuntu studio 12.04 and the brightness of the screen is too high and when i am trying to reduce it with function key it shows that the brightness bar is reducing but it doesnt effecting the brightness....my screen's brightness is still too high .........hellllppp
[14:37] <spason> ikonia: is there a way to just use the not faulty part?  :)
[14:37] <ankur> phunyguy???
[14:37] <ikonia> spason: not really
[14:37] <ikonia> spason: (assuming it is a faulty cd)
[14:37] <spason> oh, the cd, not the hard drive?
[14:37] <phunyguy> spason, have you checked the ISO for integrity after you downloaded it?
[14:37] <spason> I feel like it is a partition problem, but i am a noob and don't know how to fix that.
[14:38] <ikonia> spason: why do you feel that ?
[14:38] <ikonia> spason: explain your gut feeling, you may be right
[14:38] <spason> because the boot partition is little
[14:38] <ikonia> spason: how big
[14:38] <phunyguy> ankur: I am sorry, I don't know the answer to your question.
[14:39] <spason> I am going to frighten you with my ignorance, but i think 32k, then there were 2  1mb partitions, then a big one, like 70 gb
[14:39] <ankur> k...thnks dude
[14:39] <ikonia> spason: when you say your boot partition do you mean /boot or /
[14:39] <ankur> i wish it will automatically resolve after my update completes
[14:40] <spason> its all very overwhelming for me.  I was hoping to just throw a disc in there and start using linux  :)
[14:40] <ikonia> spason: that's very possibly, but you've picked a more complex setup, so lets see if we can find your problem
[14:40] <spason> Hang on, I am not prepared for class...going to get the computer.
[14:41] <spason> Well, I am not wed to that setup.  I just want something simple to learn on...
[14:41] <spason> Are there simpler ways to get started with linux?
[14:41] <spason> and i'm not trying to dual boot, just linux on  80gb hd ppc g4
[14:41] <phunyguy> spason: a powerpc setup probably isn't the easiest to start on.
[14:41] <snodo> spason: linux magazines
[14:41] <ikonia> spason: the mac platform isn't the best introduction
[14:41] <spason> phun- i know, but that's what i've got.
[14:41] <usc911> Hey guys, just trying to update my server and have encountered this error http://goo.gl/d8M08 Im pretty dubious about which disk to install to as I cant really have the server go down. Anyone know how I could possibly fix this? thanks in advance
[14:42] <spason> i have a pentium 4 dell that i am trying at the same time
[14:42] <ikonia> spason: it's still fine
[14:42] <Eagleman> alex88: iptables v1.4.12: unknown option "-J"
[14:42] <ikonia> spason: it can still be done, you just need a little more attention to detail
[14:42] <alex88> Eagleman: full string?
[14:42] <spason> currently i am trying the same process on an ibook g4, so that will tell us if it is the CD i guess.
[14:42] <benlu> Will be Ubuntu for phone totally free software(opensource)?
[14:42] <Eagleman> -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -o eth1 --dport 3389 -J SNAT --to-source <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:42] <DJones> !phone | benlu
[14:42] <Eagleman> also --dport wasnt recognized
[14:43] <alex88> Eagleman: strange... no idea then
[14:43] <phunyguy> usc911: that depends on what disk you have in your bios boot order
[14:44] <phunyguy> usc911: the safe choice would be /dev/sda, and it won't take your server down to install grub.
[14:44] <phunyguy> usc911: are those 3TB disks??
[14:45] <usc911> yep
[14:45] <phunyguy> usc911: are they in a raid setup?
[14:45] <usc911> they are
[14:45] <phunyguy> hrmm...
[14:45] <usc911> on a remote server, so i dont have access to the bios
[14:45] <phunyguy> yeah I am going to defer on this one
[14:45] <phunyguy> I don't want to tell you the wrong thing  :(
[14:45] <usc911> no probs
[14:45] <usc911> im going to be very careful
[14:46] <tekk> hey guys, i did an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10… now my machine doesn't respond to ping… the only thing i can think of is that i was using a custom network driver via dims… maybe this isn't working after reboot?
[14:47] <_RooT_> remote machine?
[14:47] <_RooT_> uh
[14:47] <usc911> well a dedicated server in another country
[14:47] <IzzoDizzo> ouch
[14:47] <IzzoDizzo> and you dared to upgrade it? :)
[14:48] <usc911> not yet
[14:48] <usc911> :)
[14:48] <IzzoDizzo> ah i meant tekk :)
[14:48] <IzzoDizzo> but you too  :)
[14:49] <lantizia> Isn't there some command I can put before running something that'll make the program I'm running think it runs on 32-bit?
[14:49] <tekk> remote yea :a
[14:53] <snodo> how do i restart compiz
[14:53] <Eagleman> alex88: got it working:
[14:53] <Eagleman> sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:3389
[14:53] <alex88> Eagleman: no snat?
[14:53] <AppleJuice> snodo, Something something like compiz --replace
[14:53] <Eagleman> sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport 3389 -d <IP_ADDRESS> -j SNAT --to <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:53] <alex88> oh ok :D
[14:53] <Eagleman> That did the trick
[14:53] <alex88> well, yeah that's nice ;)
[14:53] <Eagleman> :)
[14:53] <alex88> yup
[14:55] <snodo> applejuice: thanks,
[14:56] <spason> ikonia: i think part of the problem is that any documentation for linux seems to start off friendly enough, but then forgets that we don't know anything!
[14:57] <spason> And I'm not ignorant of command line work etc, but i'm definitely not proficient at it, either.  Is there an easy way to understand the partition needs for ubuntu?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> spason, yes , only one large partition / and swap, (aka a page file in windows) , or a /, and,  /home and swap , those are the most popular options.
[15:01] <spason> blue: so the partitions that the disc makes are unnecessary?  I will try with just 1 partition, and a swap.  how big should the swap be?  and, does the yaboot go in the /home
[15:02] <nsahoo> hey, my ubuntu 12.04 new installation is freezing up. The top program shows ksoftirqd, watchdog, and sometimes kworker at the top with very high cpu usage. I can ssh into the machine, but, even when I issued sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop, nothing changed on the screen
[15:03] <BluesKaj> swap is usually 1.5 times RAM up to 8G or so then a slightly larger than equal size to your RAM , spason
[15:04] <spason> blue:  So everything can just go in /home,  and then the swap is just for linux to use?
[15:05] <artrei> spason: why not choose ubuntu to do partition automatically
[15:06] <spason> art: that is what i have been doing, but it isn't working
[15:06] <BluesKaj> spason, no you need a root partition , /  , a  /home is optional
[15:06] <spason> i'm ready to try a different distro.  any suggestions?  powerpc powerbook g4
[15:06] <BluesKaj> and swap of course
[15:06] <spason> i just want it to be easy!  i'm a noob
[15:07] <ikonia> spason: sorry, not ignoring you, just been away from desk
[15:07] <nsahoo> any help?
[15:07] <ikonia> nsahoo: you need to ask a question
[15:07] <nsahoo> new install of ubuntu 12.04 freezing
[15:08] <escott> nsahoo, probably a driver issue. check dmeg
[15:08] <escott> dmesg
[15:08] <ikonia> nsahoo: can you explain a little clearer
[15:08] <spason> `I THINK my ubuntu iso is defective.  stops at 67% on 2 different machines.
[15:08] <ikonia> spason: sounds good
[15:08] <ikonia> spason: good testing
[15:09] <spason> So should I just try and make another one?  or is there a better distro do you think?
[15:09] <ikonia> spason: that's a tough question, as the mac is the problem platform for most distros
[15:09] <ikonia> spason: I'd try a re-burn, and see how you get on
[15:09] <ikonia> spason: you can always move away if it's not what you want
[15:10] <spason> ok.  thanks for your help.  I am sure I will be back.
[15:10] <nsahoo> escott: just ran a reboot now, so cant' login, needed to do a hard reboot.
[15:10] <pratz> Hello guys
[15:10] <nsahoo> escott: not sure why ksoftirqd, watchdog, and sometimes kworker are using that much cpu, if it is indicating some hardware problem. Any thoughts?
[15:10] <pratz> I justed installed ubuntu 12.04 on my external hard disk ( with disconnecting my internal hard disk )
[15:11] <hjhjhjh> what software in ubuntu can be used to create animation or flash animation
[15:11] <pratz> when I try to boot to external hard disk (with internal hard disk connected ) it does not boot
[15:11] <pratz> but when i disconnect my internal hard disk it boots up
[15:12] <pratz> how can i boot to my external hard disk with internal hard disk connected ?
[15:12] <ikonia> pratz: normally select from the bios
[15:12] <jbobaj> pratz: that varies depending on your hardware. there will be some key you have to press before boot
[15:12] <pratz> ikonia: jbobaj yes its F12
[15:13] <pratz> ikonia: jbobaj i select usb-fdd/usb-hdd but it boots on internal hard disk os
[15:13] <hjhjhjh> what software in ubuntu can be used to create animation or flash animation
[15:13] <ikonia> pratz: then your external disk is non-bootable, so it's failing back to internal
[15:13] <ikonia> hjhjhjh: none-really, flash is propritary to adobe
[15:13] <pratz> ikonia: jbobaj i have installed ubuntu 12.04 on external HDD with disconnected internal HDD, does that matter ?
[15:13] <jbobaj> pratz: well, if you intend to do this a lot, you could issue an update-grub while the external hdd is plugged in
[15:13] <ikonia> pratz: not really
[15:13] <ghatu> hi all HD format .mts (sony) does not work properly in movie player it skips any solution
[15:14] <jbobaj> pratz: it will add an item to the bootloader menu for the external hdd
[15:14] <pratz> ikonia: jbobaj but when i disconnect internal hdd , I can boot from external hdd
[15:14] <m1dlg> I've battled this one since the last piece of advice and now have unmet dependancies...... Time for more caffine?
[15:15] <ikonia> pratz: sounds odd
[15:15] <jbobaj> pratz: it's probably something to do with your bios, can't help, sorry
[15:15] <pratz> jbobaj: :(
[15:15] <jbobaj> pratz: the actual command is [sudo update-grub2]
[15:16] <jbobaj> pratz: it's possible, I suppose, that the bootloader *on the external hdd* is misconfigured
[15:16] <Guest91955> So, I'm doing Linux homework and I need to do the compress command. . . There is no compress command. . . What do I do?
[15:16] <ikonia> Guest91955: gzip
[15:16] <m1dlg> xorg-video-abi-11 and xserver-sorg-core (>=2:<IP_ADDRESS>1)
[15:16] <jbobaj> Guest91955: on the command line it's called [gz]
[15:16] <IzzoDizzo> tar ?

[15:16] <lantizia> Hey, if you're on 12.04/12.10/13.04 and _didn't_ want to tell someone to press Alt+F2 ... how would you tell them to get to the same screen?
[15:17] <pratz> jbobaj: i mean being on external hdd or internal hdd ?
[15:17] <jbobaj> pratz: on your main installation while it's booted and the external hdd is plugged in
[15:17] <ikonia> lantizia: thats the key sequence you need
[15:17] <lantizia> ikonia, so you're telling me there is no way to bring that up using the GUI?
[15:18] <pratz> jbobaj: ok, consider all goes well, next time i do not have external hdd connected, what will happen then ?

[15:18] <Ziber> i'm having plugin trouble in chrome, i think
[15:18] <vorlket> can someone help me with "the attempt to mount a file system with type vfact in scsi1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) at /boot/efi failed" error while installing ubuntu server?
[15:18] <lantizia> Ziber, chrome doesn't even need the plugin - probably chromium does though if you mean that?
