[00:00] <Dr_willis> moses,  yes.. changeing groups.. requires a log in/out
[00:00] <volf_> Well, duh.
[00:01] <moses> ty for your help
[00:01] <moses> everyone
[00:03] <HateGrub> quick question, sdc is hd2 for grub
[00:03] <HateGrub> ?
[00:05] <histo> HateGrub: Are you installing grub manually now?
[00:05] <histo> HateGrub: where are you going to boot your efi files?
[00:05] <nottura> why is jockey-gtk not seeing my ati sapphire 2600xt ?
[00:05] <nottura> does that card not require fglrx, or not work with it or something ?
[00:06] <HateGrub> histo: machine is working fine for the other 2 oses (osx and win8). Ubuntu was installed on the third hd when it was the only one enabled. When I tried to enable the other ones again, it failed.
[00:06] <halp> what do i do when this happens? " E: IO Error to output - fwrite (28: No space left on device)
[00:06] <Dako300> halp: delete stuff
[00:06] <HateGrub> histo: so, I'm checking grub.cfg directly now. for instance: set root='hd0,msdos1'
[00:06] <nottura> a sudo apt-get install fglrx results in a broken system btw.
[00:06] <histo> HateGrub: do you have secure boot enabled and can describe "failed"
[00:06] <halp> apt-get remove?
[00:06] <HateGrub> histo: this is probably wrong.
[00:07] <histo> HateGrub: not when it was the only drive
[00:07] <Dako300> IF it is removeing items on that device than go ahead.
[00:07] <HateGrub> histo: I don't know if I have secure boot enabled. Most probably no, because Im already running osx and Win8
[00:07] <nottura> maybe a better question is: does an ATI card from abotu 2007 able to use the fglrx drivers? or would one use radeon for that ?
[00:07] <histo> !ati | nottura
[00:07] <Dako300> nottura: I would think that it is now enough to use those.
[00:08] <HateGrub> histo: yep, but now is disk # 3... strange, I thought that it would be considered disk 1 when I select it as boot device inside the bios
[00:08] <HateGrub> so, let me try to change it
[00:08] <histo> HateGrub: yes grub numbering starts at 0 so change it to 2
[00:09] <Dako300> I have an old Dell Workstation that I ordered upgrades for. I managed to get the system to boot with 2 GPUs (the BIOS doesn't support the card natively) and I get a text prompt as normal from the second card (I run ubuntu server) but whenever I try and run startx and start lightdm, it crashes and has a sementation fault. The card I am using is an Radeon X1600
[00:09] <HateGrub> histo: and it's currently booting directly. How can I force a timeout?
[00:10] <HateGrub> histo: a lot of ifs for the timeout, including some -1, which I would assume is the go directly, right?
[00:10] <nottura> Dako300, not enough?
[00:10] <nottura> you are saying you dont think the card uses fglrx?
[00:11] <Dako300> nottura: I would think that a card from 2007 would probably use fglrx but believe me, installing it is a pain.
[00:11] <nottura> it seems a dedicated ATI card would get picked up by jockey-gtk
[00:11] <Dako300> I would think so too.
[00:11] <nottura> Dako300, it is not a pain usually. but maybe for an older card it is
[00:11] <nottura> i will do it debian way maybe
[00:11] <nottura> but honestly i am tired of those guys
[00:11] <histo> HateGrub: You can edit the /etc/default/grub and sudo update-grub
[00:11] <nottura> thanks for help
[00:12] <Dako300> I tried to install the drivers to fix my problem but that forced me to fall back on the older card.
[00:12] <HateGrub> histo: ok, let me try that
[00:12] <Dako300> My card is not that old, it is a Radeon X1600 XT from about 2006
[00:13] <HateGrub> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[00:13] <HateGrub> I think I should change that to false as well
[00:13] <HateGrub> :)

[01:04] <Soumen> Hi everyone, I need some help. I have a 12.04 installtion running on my system and my hard drive is due for replacement due to some issues. I was wondering if any tools exist to make an image of my current system.  When I try to use VirtualBox's "Seamless mode", it displays the area around a window like this: http://i.snag.gy/VkSgj.jpg
[01:05] <IdleOne> guest: by asking the pinguyOS people and please don't swear in here
[01:06] <guest> nvm I found it :3
[01:08] <qiyong> hi, how can I find ubuntu version codename in somewhere /usr/share ?
[01:09] <mayhew> Is it recommended to use the LTS-enablement stack for 12.04 LTS if your hardware works fine with the default precise stack?
[01:09] <guest__> le le
[01:10] <Dr_willis> qiyong,  its in a file in /etc/  but no idea about /usr/share/
[01:10] <Dr_willis> !version
[01:11] <guest> So many people, so little c h a t .
[01:12] <badk1tty> i was chatting no one was listening ... *pout*
[01:12] <qiyong> Dr_willis: i'm not to find the current version, i want to know a list of codenames
[01:12] <guest> I actually was going to talk back but docky doesn't agree with my setup atm so it made me think XChat closed out.
[01:12] <guest> I was goodk1tty lolol
[01:13] <badk1tty> lol
[01:13] <Dr_willis> qiyong,  not sure there is a list on a normal install.
[01:13] <badk1tty> im still looking however it doesn't seem there are too much help in manipulating the unity launcher for 13.04
[01:14] <badk1tty> half the site say download this plugin only dont tell you what flappin plugin
[01:14] <guest> flappin
[01:15] <badk1tty> that one dude said no swearin
[01:15] <badk1tty> maybee he meant like swearin an oath then.... lol
[01:15] <Dr_willis> if you are refering to the FLASH plugin - its in the repos.. you dont download it via your browser like in windows.
[01:15] <Dr_willis> !flash
[01:15] <Dr_willis> not sure how that relates to 'manipulating the unity launcher' however. ;)
[01:15] <badk1tty> no its in relation to moving that damn launcher to the bottom
[01:16] <badk1tty> it doesn't but thanks for responding
[01:16] <badk1tty> lol
[01:16] <Dr_willis> Quick answer is - You dont move it down to the bottom.
[01:16] <Dr_willis> If you want a lower panel. use some other dock with the unity panel.
[01:17] <badk1tty> thats a microcrap move making something in the OS you can't manipulate
[01:17] <Dr_willis> there USED to be some unofficial patched unity panels out there.. but they had issues, that couldbe onthe bottom
[01:17] <Dr_willis> badk1tty,  dosent matter - thats how it is.
[01:17] <badk1tty> that must be the site i'm on now thats what its talkin about
[01:17] <Dr_willis> that bottom unity panel thing. may or may not work with newer releases. ive not seen it mentioned in ages
[01:18] <Dr_willis> If i want a lower panel. I just use some dock  for the bottom and hide the left side panel
[01:18] <badk1tty> were theres a will....
[01:18] <badk1tty> i'll figure it out eventually
[01:19] <badk1tty> it will comply
[01:19] <eeecoder> I hope I am going to get some help here.
[01:19] <badk1tty> i mean the menu doesn't load any options for the bottom position however there has to be  config file for the app
[01:20] <Dr_willis> badk1tty,  for the left side panel? its a compiz plugin.
[01:21] <Dr_willis> unity is a plugin running under compiz. and theres no option ive seen  lately to move it to the other side, or to the bottom.
[01:22] <badk1tty> thank you
[01:22] <badk1tty> i needed the name of the plugin that dude was talkin bout
[01:22] <badk1tty> so just hack the plugin find the config file and edit it
[01:23] <badk1tty> if the visual menu don't comply go around it
[01:23] <Dr_willis> i doubt if its going to be that simple
[01:24] <badk1tty> never underestimate the k1tty
[01:24] <badk1tty> :D
[01:24] <Dr_willis> it is very likely the positioning is hard coded in the actual code.
[01:24] <badk1tty> giiggle
[01:24] <badk1tty> well that's not very christian of em
[01:24] <Dr_willis> dosent matter.. thats how it is.
[01:24] <badk1tty> i don't think it's that encased
[01:24] <Dr_willis> ive definatly seen a lot of settings that are hard-coded
[01:24] <badk1tty> most nix software is opensource
[01:25] <Dr_willis> opensopurces does not mean the settings are in a 'config text file'
[01:25] <badk1tty> maybee maybee not
[01:25] <Dr_willis> Unity./compiz uses the gconf/dconf method to store settings also
[01:25] <badk1tty> can't be any worse than unpacking and recompiling a kernel
[01:25] <Dr_willis> yes it can.
[01:26] <badk1tty> find a way to win
[01:26] <badk1tty> :D
[01:26] <badk1tty> your nick should be 'devils advocate' tho i appreciate the sentiment
[01:26] <badk1tty> :D
[01:26] <Dr_willis> if you dont like the unity desktop layout/settings, use a differnt desktop.
[01:26] <badk1tty> seriously thanks for your help
[01:27] <badk1tty> i'll just mod it it's cool
[01:27] <Dr_willis> or as was mentioned.. run some other dock for a bottom panel thats the easy way to get a lower dock
[01:27] <badk1tty> what! muah do it the easy way shaaaf as if
[01:27] <badk1tty> lol
[01:27] <badk1tty> <---------- doesn't like obtuse software
[01:28] <Dr_willis> not sure how geometry figures into it....
[01:29] <badk1tty> lmao
[01:29] <badk1tty> it's a metaphor silly
[01:29] <badk1tty> your fun to talk to
[01:30] <badk1tty> osik! it won't let scroll back up what was the name of that plugin again please
[01:31] <Dr_willis> err.. UNITY is a plugin for Compiz.
[01:31] <Dr_willis> Unity is the ubuntu desktop
[01:31] <badk1tty> sawwy
[01:31] <badk1tty> i furgot
[01:31] <badk1tty> thanks doc
[01:35] <otrenav> Hi all. I installed Ubuntu 13.04 in an iMac. I'm trying to boot from the USB with wireless keyboard. I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any ideas?
[01:36] <Coburn> otrenav: what generation?
[01:36] <Coburn> If it's PowerPC, it's not going to work
[01:36] <Coburn> PowerPCs apparently can't boot from USB (unless you hack open firmware or something)
[01:37] <badk1tty> they still make powerpc's
[01:37] <badk1tty> i thought they phased out the RISC chips in mac's
[01:37] <Dr_willis> They did - a long time ago.
[01:37] <Dr_willis> I used to have one. ;)
[01:37] <badk1tty> ah see i was right
[01:38] <badk1tty> RISC is still cool though
[01:38] <Coburn> I have a PowerPC G4 Mac Mini
[01:38] <badk1tty> nice
[01:38] <Coburn> Running Xbuntu 12.10
[01:38] <badk1tty> old but still cool at least in my book
[01:38] <Dr_willis> I finally got rid of my old PPC imacDV. it was next to useless.
[01:38] <badk1tty> awwww
[01:38] <Coburn> Wants me to update to 13.04 but no thank you
[01:39] <otrenav> Coburn: It must be 8,1 or 9,1.
[01:39] <otrenav> It's the intel kind.
[01:40] <Coburn> My G4 is > PowerMac10,1 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh
[01:40] <Coburn> Hmmm
[01:40] <badk1tty> everythings the intel kind these days AMD seems to have fallen off the map
[01:40] <Coburn> I just built a new PC using AMD
[01:40] <badk1tty> "I could have been a contenda!"
[01:41] <Coburn> AMD is better with linux than Intel
[01:41] <badk1tty> ah ha right quote
[01:41] <Coburn> AMD = Better multitasking/multithreaded on *nix
[01:41] <badk1tty> if you say so
[01:41] <Coburn> Not going to bash either party
[01:41] <badk1tty> just havn't used anything but old amd chips in nix
[01:41] <Coburn> otrenav: If it uses EFI to boot, then you need to use something like rEFit
[01:41] <badk1tty> wow back then i was running mandrake 8
[01:42] <badk1tty> TFC and counterstrike server
[01:42] <Coburn> I run mageia (fork of Mandriva) now on my new build
[01:42] <otrenav> I didn't install rEFit when I installed Ubuntu.
[01:42] <otrenav> But, I'll try that.
[01:42] <Coburn> otrenav: afaik it's OS X only installer :(
[01:42] <Dr_willis> I doubt if theres much differance between AMD and Intel preformance these days
[01:42] <badk1tty> im wiff doc on that one
[01:43] <Coburn> The thing is, Intel may be faster, but if you look under the structure of the CPU, you'll see Intel has made "quick fixes" to compete with AMD's more thought-out structure.
[01:43] <badk1tty> well maybee a dual MB with Xeon octa cores that one would probably walk away
[01:43] <synergy_> Do you install rEFit before you instal ubuntu with windows 8?
[01:43] <Coburn> I will say, though, Intel is CISC, AMD is RISC
[01:43] <Coburn> uh
[01:43] <Coburn> rEFit is just a boot manager
[01:44] <badk1tty> amd is using risc cores on die?
[01:44] <Dr_willis> badk1tty,  first ive heard of it... might want to verify that in #hardware
[01:44] <badk1tty> yeah no osik doc
[01:44] <badk1tty> i've never heard of that either
[01:44] <badk1tty> would be interesting though
[01:45] <Dr_willis> i dont keep up with hardware much these days.   Other then my RaspberryPi.
[01:45] <synergy_> Right, I have issues with my boot manager. I keep getting the black screen when I try to get past the "try ubuntu without installing"
[01:47] <otrenav> I'm realizing that'd be a real pain. Any other ideas on how to boot an iMac (without rEFit) with Ubuntu 13.04 form a USB?
[01:49] <nevyn> 11:49 < Coburn> I will say, though, Intel is CISC, AMD is RISC
[01:49] <nevyn> this is rubbish ^^
[01:52] <Dr_willis> nevyn,  ;)
[01:53] <Dr_willis> well both companies do make RISC cpus dont they. - isent ARM techincally a risc? or am i getting senile again
[01:54] <nevyn> both companies manufacture RISC and CISC cpu's
[01:55] <nevyn> and the cisc cpu's tend to be a frontend on a risc execution core for both companies
[01:59] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[02:00] <gld1982ltd> hello all. i need help with sshfs. i CAN mount sshfs shares after login, but at boot they fail. anyone know how to fix this?
[02:01] <lotuspsychje> !sshfs | gld1982ltd
[02:02] <gld1982ltd> did that
[02:02] <Dr_willis> gld1982ltd,  how are you trying to mount them at boot time?
[02:02] <gld1982ltd> fstab
[02:03] <Dr_willis> gld1982ltd,  if your users home directory/partition encrypted?
[02:03] <gld1982ltd> nope
[02:05] <Dr_willis> could try mounthign them via thecommand line from /etc/rc.local perhaps   - i use sshfs, but  i have scripts to mount them when i want.
[02:05] <Dr_willis> never used them in fstab. whats your fstab line look like?
[02:05] <lotuspsychje> gld1982ltd: maybe this can help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/154213/sshfs-mount-does-not-work-on-startup-using-fstab
[02:08] <gld1982ltd> lotuspsychje: i am sure i could make a script....but isn't fstab supposed to work?
[02:09] <lotuspsychje> gld1982ltd: note sure, never used it myself but many threads comming up on users that cant boot it by default
[02:10] <Dave77> how do I test if lightdm is configured correctly?
[02:10] <gld1982ltd> any suggestions of replacements for sshfs?
[02:10] <allaire> Anybody use monit? If you could take a look at my question I would appreciate it! http://serverfault.com/questions/523226/monit-daemonize-non-daemon-process

[02:21] <lotuspsychje> !mir | Dave77
[02:22] <newbie007> greetings, does ubuntu support the mouse scanners, like the ones Brookstone has?
[02:27] <gld1982ltd> #ubuntu-server is dead.
[02:27] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> gld1982ltd: you mean no movement at this time
[02:28] <gld1982ltd> yeah
[02:28] <gld1982ltd> what's the term?
[02:29] <lotuspsychje> re-ask your question in chat here once in a while, at other times ppl will be able to solve for sure
[02:29] <Dave77> are there any kind of system fix it utils for ubuntu?
[02:29] <lotuspsychje> Dave77: ubuntu-tweak can tweak stuff
[02:32] <newbie007> does ubuntu support mouse scanners?
[02:32] <airtonix> lotuspsychje: tweak != fix
[02:33] <lotuspsychje> airtonix?
[02:33] <airtonix> lotuspsychje: isn't it obvious?
[02:34] <airtonix> lotuspsychje: or doesn't your irc client allow you to scroll back through previous messages
[02:34] <wilee-nilee> newbie007, I see just a few out there, and no open source references. Does not mean it wont work just no easily found info they will.
[02:34] <Dave77> would like to use linux for desktop but when something breaks can be difficult to fix
[02:34]  * airtonix nods sagely
[02:34] <lotuspsychje> airtonix: theres no reason to be sarcastic
[02:34] <airtonix> lotuspsychje: why not?
[02:35] <newbie007> wilee-nilee thanks, I couldnt find anything either.
[02:35] <airtonix> lotuspsychje: i thought you were being sarcastic to be honest.
[02:35] <newbie007> not sure how to determine if device XYZ is supported or not
[02:36] <newbie007> there is a list right? USB device identifies itself as some number. That number corresponds to a list in the OS
[02:36] <wilee-nilee> newbie007, I found a youtube video of home shopping, lol, and the host said just run the mouse wilee-nilee over the page, I laughed.
[02:41] <Dr_willis> 'difficult to fix' often applies to other os's as well. ;)
[02:49] <Dave77> yes but on windoze are utils to fix things.. I broke my system perl on linux after trying to compile from source.. and had to start again from scratch
[02:54] <jla> I switched from an nvidia card to a radeon one without uninstalling the nvidia stuff first. Now when I log into the Ubuntu desktop I don't get a menu bar. When I log into Gnome (fallback) I get a menu bar, but I can't find
[02:54] <jla> 'Hardware Manager', what is it's name to launch from a terminal?
[02:55] <airtonix> Dave77: 1. if you're compiling stuff then isn't that expected 2. sudo apt-get purge thing-you-broke ?
[02:56] <Dave77> you see never.. heard of purge command..
[02:56] <airtonix> Dave77: what about the man command?
[02:57] <airtonix> Dave77: also: while you will appreciate that apt-get only works on software it installs, if you compile something and make it install itself into the same place that apt-get would then i suppose : sudo apt-get install thing-you-broke --reinstall
[02:58] <Dave77> yes, but i'm not linux expert.. had a problem with libmad crashing and had to use the one from raring.. but that using that broke something else
[02:58] <airtonix> Dave77: so a "fix it" program for things that apt-get has no idea about (ie you compiled it) i'm pretty sure are non existant.
[02:59] <Dave77> no i'm just saying in general for linux a fix it util.. to detect problems etc
[03:00] <airtonix> Dave77: there is one, but it only works from data that follows a standard and describes how things should be: ie xdg spec, apt-get cache,  etc.
[03:00] <airtonix> Dave77: it also likes to remove things it isn't supposed to.
[03:01] <airtonix> Dave77: it's commonly referred to as a "system cleaner"
[03:02] <airtonix> Dave77: http://www.maketecheasier.com/8-ways-to-maintain-a-clean-lean-ubuntu-machine/2008/10/07
[03:03] <Dave77> airtonix: do u know anything about dev for linux?  is it easy to make an app to play video in a window?
[03:03] <airtonix> Dave77: old, but gives you an idea of what to search google for
[03:03] <Dave77> thanks
[03:03] <airtonix> Dave77: also the program I was thinking of is bleachbit. just be very careful with this one
[03:09] <Ali__> hi
[03:09] <Ali__> plz need help
[03:09] <Ali__> hi every one
[03:10] <varunendra> !details | Ali__
[03:10] <sarthor> HI, I have toshiba harman kardon laptop, Core i3, Linux installed. there are control lights/touch bottons of volume, play/Pause, Wlan, that buttons lights are not turning on. While in bios or windows it remain on. HELP
[03:11] <Ali__> see this link plz http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[03:11] <airtonix> Ali__: no.
[03:11] <MeikaTheBro> no.
[03:11] <Coburn> nope.jpg
[03:12] <Coburn> sarthor: do the buttons light up if you're using linux and you touch them?
[03:13] <iBurley> Anybody know off the top of your head how to disable mouse acceleration on Ubuntu?
[03:13] <sarthor> Coburn: no, but the buttons are functioning. and the lights are off. in case I am touching or not, they remain off.
[03:14] <Coburn> iBurley: this could help http://askubuntu.com/questions/26176/how-do-i-turn-off-mouse-acceleration
[03:14] <Coburn> sarthor: what is the model of your laptop?
[03:14] <Coburn> and also, may I ask why you'd want them on?
[03:16] <sarthor> Coburn: toshiba a665, I want them to work normal, like it do in Windows OS. and also I am a learner.
[03:18] <Coburn> OK. sarthor
[03:19] <Coburn> I did a quick google and found some info.
[03:19] <Coburn> I'll try to compile the info into a more easy-to-understand format, just one moment
[03:19] <sarthor> Coburn: Waiting..
[03:19] <Coburn> okay... what I see is this
[03:20] <Coburn> your laptop's BIOS controlls the backlight keyboard
[03:20] <Coburn> now the BIOS uses ACPI to do so. Toshiba have more or less, a habit of "breaking" the ACPI setup.
[03:20] <sarthor> Hmm
[03:20] <Coburn> From what I read, there's a button you can press to try to turn on the lights
[03:21] <Coburn> Fn+Z ?
[03:21] <Coburn> If people disable the ACPI, the system works as expected, but this breaks a lot of things.
[03:21] <Coburn> Since ACPI is one of the "engine components"
[03:21]  * pionar is away: I'm busy

[03:23] <Coburn> Apparently with this, sarthor:
[03:23] <Equinox3> thanks
[03:24] <Coburn> Quote: "Have any of you guys tried booting up a windows install dvd and then pressing the keyboard backlight key on top of the keyboard? I did this and it worked for my toshiba satellite p755 s5265. You may not notice a change immediately, but after reboot into ubuntu, keyboard lights are on.
[03:24] <Coburn> I have only ubuntu and mint installed."
[03:24] <wilee-nilee> Equinox3, dconf has a bit of tweaks in general. ;)
[03:24] <Coburn> Problem is, you gotta carry around a windows disc
[03:24] <Coburn> boot -> do trick -> reboot -> use linux
[03:24] <Equinox3> thanks wilee-nilee, i'm gonna try it
[03:24] <Coburn> every time
[03:25] <sarthor> Coburn: let me try my bootable usb, there is bootable win7 ISO inside. I can do a try.
[03:25] <Coburn> sarthor: before you do that
[03:25] <sarthor> Hm
[03:25] <mm12> hey everyone
[03:25] <Equinox3> wilee-nilee: i thought those buttons were just to close the dash
[03:26] <mm12> what a good alternative to outlook for ubuntu
[03:26] <Coburn> sarthor, can you pop open a terminal and enter "ls /sys/class/backlight "
[03:26] <Coburn> mm12: Evolution...?
[03:26] <Coburn> I use Thunderbird myself
[03:26] <wilee-nilee> Equinox3, I see a hover om the top left for widgets, I use the shell so I forget.
[03:26] <wilee-nilee> on*
[03:26] <sarthor> Coburn: ls /sys/class/backlight
[03:26] <sarthor> acpi_video0  intel_backlight  toshiba
[03:26] <Coburn> okay, arthor, can you do " ls /sys/class/backlight/toshiba "
[03:27] <wilee-nilee> Equinox3, Might be a tick in the unity-tweak app, not sure
[03:27] <Equinox3> wilee-nilee: i needed it resized so i could drag an app to my cairo-dock
[03:27] <Equinox3> now its done, so thanks
[03:27] <Coburn> okay, sarthor, can you do " ls /sys/class/backlight/toshiba "
[03:27] <Coburn> sorry, typoed name
[03:27] <wilee-nilee> Equinox3, I use the dock as well
[03:27] <sarthor> Coburn: ls /sys/class/backlight/toshiba
[03:27] <sarthor> actual_brightness  bl_power  brightness  device  max_brightness  power  subsystem  type  uevent
[03:28] <Coburn> now we may be cooking with gass
[03:28] <Coburn> gas*
[03:28] <Equinox3> wilee-nilee:  yes, it helps me alot
[03:28] <Equinox3> unity bar is auto-hidden
[03:28] <mm12> just got ubuntu its great
[03:29] <Coburn> sarthor, can you do "sudo su" to go super user mode and then "cat /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness"
[03:29] <Equinox3> mm12, wait till you run into something. ;)
[03:29] <Coburn> sudo su will require your password to go to superuser mode
[03:29] <sarthor> Coburn: cat /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness
[03:29] <sarthor> 0
[03:29] <mm12> lik what?? lol Equinox3
[03:29] <wilee-nilee> Equinox3, Unity has gotten really better, I use the shell it has some cool extensions, I occasionally run unity and wax poetic on the cuuuube
[03:30] <Coburn> sarthor: can do you do "echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness" ?
[03:30] <Coburn> Hopefully the lights will respond
[03:30] <Equinox3> wilee-nilee:  i don't exactly know what shell is
[03:31] <sarthor> I did that. no response of lights
[03:31] <Equinox3> mm12: you'll see. lol
[03:31] <mm12> ok brb
[03:31] <sarthor> Coburn: now cat /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness
[03:31] <sarthor> 5
[03:31] <Coburn> okay, sarthor, can you do "cat /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/bl_power" ?
[03:31] <wilee-nilee> Equinox3, Ah, the gnome-shell it is gnome 3 which unity a plugin in compiz sits upon basically.
[03:31] <Coburn> There's gotta be a magic trick around here
[03:31] <sarthor> Coburn: cat /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/bl_power
[03:31] <sarthor> -191447536
[03:32] <Equinox3> ah ok
[03:32] <Equinox3> i tried gnome shell, but it seemed to use more memory than unity, so i switched
[03:32] <wilee-nilee> If you install the gnome-shell you get it and a fall back desktop of a psuedo gnome2
[03:33] <wilee-nilee> Heh, but you know that already it seems.
[03:34] <Equinox3> ya a bit
[03:34] <Equinox3> what email client do you recommend for unity, anyone?
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> !info geary | Equinox3
[03:36] <Equinox3> thanks lotuspsychje
[03:36] <lotuspsychje> np
[03:36] <jc_> 1
[03:36] <Coburn> sarthor: I'm out of ideas. I'd suggest trying the windows boot trick
[03:37] <Coburn> boot windows setup, wait until lights are on, hold power until PC is off, boot back up
[03:37] <Coburn> according to a thread, it helps
[03:37] <_joey> how do I enable pdf viewer in chromium? It downloads the file without rendering within the browser
[03:37] <sarthor> Coburn: you read here in the last? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1982078.html
[03:37] <Coburn> _joey: AFAIK PDF reader was disabled for security
[03:38] <_joey> is there a decent plugin?
[03:38] <sarthor> Coburn: it show cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/bl_power
[03:38] <sarthor> 0
[03:39] <Coburn> that would be your screen brightness
[03:43] <mm12> hi all
[03:43] <mm12> getting an erro ac4f-b051 when i try to log into windows
[03:43] <Equinox3> mm12, try the windows boot cd and fix startup
[03:44] <mm12> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5874448/
[03:44] <Equinox3> dual booting win7 right?
[03:44] <mm12> no windows 8
[03:45] <mm12> the only way i can into windows 8 is to go through the bios and tell it to go to windows8
[03:46] <Equinox3> mm12:  i don't know about win 8 but in win7, with the boot cd, it would detect you had broken startu and will try to fix it
[03:46] <Equinox3> try if it also with win8
[03:46] <Equinox3> this fixed mine
[03:46] <mm12> can i use grub
[03:47] <Equinox3> yes
[03:47] <mm12> hmm tells efi detected...please check options when i run grub
[03:48] <wilee-nilee> mm12, at the end of the script it says this are you? "Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sdc (1000GB) disk"!
[03:49] <mm12> ahh ok thanks
[03:50] <wilee-nilee> mm12, Heh, not sure that is the answer, uefi is more fun/terror than one should be allowed to have.

[04:22] <somsip> aelmasry: your virtual host is probably setup wrong, or your permissions are wrong.
[04:22] <mm12> whoever, found webacm works but why not in skype
[04:23] <aelmasry> somsip, i think no problem with permissions
[04:23] <aelmasry> somsip, i think no problem with permissions
[04:23] <aelmasry> and my virtual host no problem
[04:24] <whoever> mm12: i have never setup skype on linux, maybe you need to set it to /dev/vid0 in settings
[04:27] <ss_haze> chunkyhead, thats caused by sleep/hibernate regime set in windows..
[04:27] <chunkyhead> ss_haze, but i always shutdown i never hibernate/sleep
[04:28] <ss_haze> thats what you think, when you use windows
[04:28] <chunkyhead> ss_haze, what you say is pretty logical and make sence though.
[04:28] <chunkyhead> what do you mean?
[04:28] <ss_haze> windows thinks it does locked hard drive
[04:28] <ss_haze> or partition
[04:28] <chunkyhead> sense*
[04:29] <chunkyhead> any way to maybe bypass this and get to the drive?
[04:29] <ss_haze> turn on/off
[04:30] <chunkyhead> boot into windows again and switch off? -___-
[04:30] <ss_haze> maybe
[04:30] <ss_haze> I don't dualboot since
[04:31] <chunkyhead> ss_haze, this is shear stupidity. -_- i have to leave it upto chance for windows to free the lock on the partition. -_- i only dual boot coz i cant play games on ubuntu. :(

[05:11] <holstein> biggamer11: i would try going to tty and login, to make sure that you are not using the incorrect password
[05:11] <biggamer11> i have tried that
[05:12] <holstein> biggamer11: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
[05:12] <Nmbr1> biggamer11: reboot into recovery mode use the root shell to change your user password
[05:12] <holstein> aelmasry_: how did you install it?
[05:12] <aelmasry_> holstein, this link http://www.zvps.co.uk/zpanelcp/ubuntu-12-04
[05:12] <Icekitten> I've got a major malfunction lol... I'm running Ubuntu currently because I have no choice really. My problem is windows vista is currently stuck in an update loop. Hopefully someone has heard of this problem
[05:13] <Nmbr1> biggamer11: just be sure you didn't encrypt your home directory. if you encrypted your home directory and change the password you will need to then recover your encrypted home directory.
[05:13] <biggamer11> i did not encrypt the home directory
[05:13] <Nmbr1> Icekitten: what does windows vista have to do with using ubuntu
[05:13] <aeon-ltd> Icekitten: they might've in #windows
[05:13] <Nmbr1> biggamer11: then you should be good to reboot to recovery mode drop to root shell and change your user password
[05:14] <holstein> aelmasry_: why not ask them? they have a contact link http://www.zvps.co.uk/contact-us
[05:14] <aelmasry_> holstein, no time
[05:14] <biggamer11> thanks so much i will try that
[05:14] <aelmasry_> :)
[05:14] <holstein> aelmasry_: ?
[05:14] <aelmasry_> holstein, i don;t have time
[05:14] <Icekitten> I realize windows has nothing to do with Ubuntu but I do not have any idea where to go to solve my problem
[05:15] <holstein> aelmasry_: that is unfortunate.. since they are the ones tha provide the package
[05:15] <holstein> aelmasry_: there are no instructions?
[05:15] <aelmasry_> holstein, i try remove apache and install new by new config
[05:15] <aelmasry_> holstein, you know how
[05:15] <Nmbr1> biggamer11: if you need specifics or have issues, the steps are at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[05:15] <aelmasry_> holstein, my website now dony
[05:16] <holstein> aelmasry_: stop messing with apache.. if its zpanel that broke it
[05:16] <somsip> aelmasry: if you *really* want to do this "apt-get purge apache2" but I suspect it will not fix your issue. Be warned
[05:16] <Nmbr1> Icekitten: then you should ask your question in a room for windows or vista
[05:16] <aelmasry_> holstein, i need to restart my website again
[05:16] <Icekitten> hang on... is #windows a different chat?
[05:16] <holstein> aelmasry_: i would read the docuemtation that came with that package
[05:16] <Nmbr1> Icekitten: yep
[05:16] <aelmasry_> holstein, i did before
[05:16] <holstein> aelmasry_: did what?
[05:16] <Icekitten> hehe thx
[05:16] <biggamer11> all though i actully think my account got deactivated some how
[05:17] <aelmasry_> holstein, stoped include zpanel in apache
[05:18] <holstein> aelmasry_: unfortunately, i, nor ubuntu, nor cannonical, or any volunteer here maintain zpanel, so you'll have to ask them, or read the documentation.. feel free and pastebin uninstall docs if you need help parsing the information
[05:18] <lolcat> holstein: Well, maybe they SHOULD
[05:19] <holstein> lolcat: who should what?
[05:19] <lolcat> holstein: You, ubuntu, cannonical (maybe even spelled correctly) and any volunteer here.
[05:19] <lolcat> Maintain zpanel.
[05:20] <th0r> now there's an idea....we could also take up auto maintenance and brain surgery
[05:20] <brahmana> I have a Huawei E392 LTE USB modem. Ubuntu detects the device properly and I was able to create a new connection in connection manager.
[05:20] <holstein> lolcat: you are welcome to take it to the offtopic channel and provide support.. its aelmasry_ with the issue
[05:20] <brahmana> The device connects successfully and I am able to access the internet
[05:20] <brahmana> But quite often it disconnects within a few minutes of connecting.
[05:21] <brahmana> Singal strength is fairly good (3 out of 4 bars).
[05:21] <lolcat> holstein: Do I look like a techsupport monkey?
[05:21] <holstein> !ot | lolcat
[05:22] <lolcat> !guidelines | holstein
[05:22] <brahmana> I was wondering if installing the helper application that came with the device would be of any help here.
[05:23] <brahmana> I am a little averse to installing it as I feel the in-built support in Ubuntu is better than that application.
[05:23] <brahmana> Any suggestions?
[05:23] <aeon-ltd> brahmana: if it's easy to try out the app then i'd do it anyway to see if it works
[05:24] <holstein> brahmana: you could see about trying it from a live CD as well, so you dont break what you have
[05:24] <brahmana> holstein: aah live CD is indeed a good idea. It is the fear of breaking the existing thing that has stopped me from trying it.
[05:25] <aeon-ltd> brahmana: after checking stuff like physical interference
[05:25] <brahmana> aeon-ltd: How do I check such stuff?
[05:25] <holstein> brahmana: sometimes, you cant get away with it, if its something that requires a reboot..
[05:27] <aelmasry_> holstein, cairoportal.com
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> brahmana: items that may reflect radio waves such as foil, the likelihood of this stuff being the problem is very unlikely though
[05:27] <holstein> aelmasry_: what is that, friend?
[05:28] <aelmasry_> holstein, new error after remove apache and reinstall
[05:28] <aelmasry_> holstein, this url http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[05:29] <holstein> aelmasry_: i would remove zpanel, since that is what caused the issue
[05:29] <aelmasry_> holstein, i will remove zpanel but i can't now
[05:29] <aelmasry_> holstein, you know this error
[05:29] <aelmasry_> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[05:30] <holstein> aelmasry_: no.. i have never seen that error.. but if installing zpanel caused the issue, that is where i would start
[05:30] <holstein> aelmasry_: the error says to check the log..
[05:31] <brahmana> holstein, aeon-ltd : Sorry got disconnected. The same problem which I described earlier.
[05:31] <brahmana> I had to unplug the device and put it back. The connection name just disappears from the list of connections when I click on the network icon.
[05:31] <aelmasry_> holstein, Internal Server Error
[05:31] <aelmasry_> holstein, no zpanel
[05:31] <aelmasry_> holstein, zpanel not working
[05:31] <brahmana> Is there a place where the network manager logs information?
[05:31] <holstein> aelmasry_: sure, but whatever the installer did likely caused the issue

[05:50] <niocora> I'm having a problem with VLC where no files play sounds but they all play in any other program. VLC isn't muted in the sounds panel, I've tried resetting preferences soft and deleting all the prefs. But it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
[05:53] <aeon-ltd> niocora: i'm not on linux right now,  but i think under preferences/audio there is an option to choose output module, try changing them?
[05:56] <Aelmasry__> holstein, new error :)
[05:56] <anonymous_> hi
[05:56] <Aelmasry__> holstein, need you help
[05:56] <anonymous_> y
[05:57] <anonymous_> yes
[05:57] <Aelmasry__> anonymous_, hi
[05:58] <aeon-ltd> niocora: i'm not on linux right now,  but i think under preferences/audio there is an option to choose output module, try changing them?
[05:58] <niocora> Ok, I just installed the restricted extras I didn't have and restarted and now there's no sound in any program.
[05:58] <niocora> aeon-ltd: Tried that.
[05:58] <aeon-ltd> k
[05:58] <holstein> Aelmasry__: i would /join #ubuntu-server ..i would make sure you have zpanel removed.. i have to run, so just address your clear detailed queries to the channel.. good luck!
[05:59] <aeon-ltd> niocora: latest problem - check alsamixer
[06:00] <niocora> aeon-ltd: As in the CLI program?
[06:00] <aeon-ltd> yeah
[06:00] <jellow> anyone know of any encrypted cloud services ( calender , note taking , and backups ) that are cross platform and can hosted on arm ?
[06:00] <niocora> aeon-ltd: It's open, but I'm out of my depth in here.
[06:01] <aeon-ltd> niocora: does anything show MM ? if it is a output press 'm' to unmute, if the bars are not filled press up arrow key to increase the volume
[06:01] <jellow> being able to host on arm is not that important , I can just compile.
[06:03] <mehwork> i have php 5.4 installed in ubuntu 13.04, but i need to also run 5.3. What's an easy way to do that?
[06:03] <niocora> aeon-ltd: What am I looking for?
[06:03] <aeon-ltd> niocora: outputs that are muted
[06:04] <niocora> aeon-ltd: They're muted when they say MM?
[06:04] <aeon-ltd> yeah
[06:04] <niocora> Only front mic.
[06:04] <aeon-ltd> are the outputs maxed at 100?
[06:04] <qiyong> is acct useful?
[06:05] <niocora> 100 92 100 and 92
[06:05] <aeon-ltd> niocora: i'm out of ideas, sorry.
[06:06] <niocora> aeon-ltd: Should I un-install the plugins I just did that made it so that nothing works?
[06:06] <aeon-ltd> niocora: you can try yeah, if it restores sound at least you're down to one problem

I've connected a 19" 4:3 monitor, and now it is only 1024x768. I've tired https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution - but I need more info to xrandr --newmode. (eg. xrandr --newmode "1920x1200_60.00" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync)

[07:33] <Marcus_> Hi, im making a firewall with IPTables that allows only sites/IPs im using, and after disabling UDP I have trouble figuring out which UDP ports is needed for internet connection (router DNS lookup, etc etc). Anyone know?
[07:34] <cfhowlett> Marcus_, if not here, the #ubuntu-server channel might have that
[07:38] <_joey> I run openbox. I installed xfce applet. I know xfce applets can be run in openbox. But how do I invoke the xfce applets in openbox? Thanks!
[07:39] <zipper> Which is the best way to learn django right now?
[07:39] <Marcus_> kk
[07:42] <Neptu> zipper, start coding
[07:42] <Neptu> zipper, read pep
[07:42] <Neptu> zipper, import this
[07:42] <zipper> Neptu I know how to code
[07:42] <zipper> Neptu in Python which is what I need since it's a lib
[07:43] <zipper> Neptu okay I'm waiting
[07:43] <Neptu> zipper, you need to code Django?
[07:44] <Neptu> I started with the youtube tutorials, pretty boring but they safe you some time in the begining
[07:45] <Neptu> after that is a question of learning the "magic" of django since it has a lot of naming conventions
[07:46] <zipper> Neptu I want to learn a few things about django first like how to use it with postgres, using it for uploads. I wanted to use the django book but I'm afraid it might be outdated.
[07:47] <Neptu> well the Django is a MCV so you do not need a lib to connect to it you need to create your data model and then meta magically you have all the data available.... that is one of the magic things
[07:47] <Neptu> I used if with postgres is cool
[07:47] <Neptu> with mongo is a mess still waiting for someone to do something about that
[07:47] <Ben64> Hi. Ubuntu 12.04, HP Probook 6565b. Broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727]. The wireless worked in the livecd, but not in the install. No wireless networks are found, and it is coming up as either eth0 or eth2, not wlan0
[07:47] <Neptu> never used blobs on Django and psotgres but should be supported
[07:48] <cfhowlett> Ben64, might need to manually install the driver but first, plug into a hardwire and check settings for additional drivers
[07:48] <Neptu> zipper, but this not seem to be the channel to ask for Django you better try an specific channel
[07:49] <Ben64> cfhowlett: its already activated, it must have done so during install
[07:49] <zipper> Ben64 have you tried running rfkill list all in terminal?
[07:50] <Ben64> no i have not
[07:50] <Sicp> yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, I had previously  canceled an upgrade midway (downloading phase), then was forced to do a "Partial upgrade", which I did
[07:50] <Sicp> and now I can start my machine just fine, with 12.10 installed
[07:50] <Sicp> but there is no internet access. I can connect to the network just fine, but I cannot access any website or anything of the sort
[07:50] <_joey> :(
[07:50] <Ben64> zipper: what am i looking for there
[07:50] <zipper> type "rfkill list all" and see if all is okay. That is the output is no no no
[07:51] <cfhowlett> I'd say your aborted/restarted partial upgrade might not have gone buttery smooth.
[07:51] <zipper> Ben64  checking to see if you've turned anything off
[07:51] <Ben64> zipper: all the soft/hard blocked say "no"
[07:51] <zipper> Neptu  the django channels seem to be password protected.
[07:51] <Neptu> ??
[07:51] <cfhowlett> Sicp, if you can get on the net but not to specific sites, that suggest DNS issues to me.  I'm no expert but ...
[07:52] <cfhowlett> Sicp IIRC the default test is run a terminal and ping www.google.com
[07:52] <Ben64> eth2 disappears when i hit the hardware switch to turn off wifi
[07:52] <Neptu> zipper, is your nick registered on freenode?
[07:52] <Ben64> why isn't it wlan0?
[07:52] <zipper> Neptu I don't know I'm unable to join I don't get it. I get this:4 #django: Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[07:53] <Ben64> zipper: yeah, you need to register. /msg nickserv help register
[07:53] <Neptu> zipper, register yout nick nickserv
[07:53] <iroda> hello! can someone help in adding bigger resolution to my 12.04.2 LTS? I've installed it on friday, and that monitor was 16:9, and there was avaiable a good resolution.

[07:54] <zipper> Neptu I honestly don't know how to do that I'll google it. Ben64 I'm sorry can't help you with your wireless issue. I'd traceroute to see where things are going wrong though,
[07:54] <Sicp> I get unknown host google.com, cfhowlett
[07:55] <zipper> Neptu so you don't have a specific place you can recommend I assume?
[07:59] <Sicp> any idea, cfhowlett ?
[07:59] <auronandace> !register | zipper
[08:00] <_CookieMonster_> bekks: You here?
[08:00] <nibbler_> iroda: you need to compute the modeline?
[08:01] <zipper> obuttu Thanks
[08:01] <iroda> nibbler_ I think yes, because I don't know how to calculate those lines, I just need a better 4:3 resolution for a 19" monitor
[08:02] <cfhowlett> Sicp, yeah the negative results indicate that your DNS service isn't ... serving.  .It SHOULD default to the google DNS service.  That's as much as I can suggest, but someone in channel can  no doubt provide further guidance.
[08:02] <_CookieMonster_> Iroda: What are you having problems with ?
[08:02] <nibbler_> iroda: gtf x-res y-res frequency (gtf 1600 1200 60) would do that. read https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds/posts/HQsCY7ErAL4 for some humor and background
[08:03] <Sicp> ok I'll see what I can do
[08:03] <_CookieMonster_> Can anyone help me find out why Xorg isn't affecting my fixed resolution? http://pastebin.com/EhqSd1ga
[08:03] <iroda> _CookieMonster_ I can not select better resolution in the options, but the VGA card can do it better, just this monitor is "unknown"
[08:04] <_CookieMonster_> Iroda: That's the same problem I'm having - have you tried changing Xorg.conf?
[08:04] <_CookieMonster_> Iroda: I assume that's what you're doing now :P
[08:07] <iroda> _CookieMonster_ I don't want to config xorg.conf, otherwise it is empty now
[08:07] <_CookieMonster_> It seems like my xorg.conf isn't being picked up
[08:08] <_CookieMonster_> Iroda: Have you tried xrandr ?
[08:08] <iroda> nibbler_ I'll read that post
[08:08] <iroda> yeah _CookieMonster_ , but I couldn't add new mode
[08:08] <iroda> log-in-out, please wait
[08:09] <_CookieMonster_> Iroda: Did you use VGA-0 ?

[08:15] <zipper_> ubottu Server tab? I don't get it. "All the following commands should be typed in your server tab (it's probably called "Ubuntu IRC"; if you're on irssi, type « /win 1 »), so that if you mistype something, your personal information won't be shown in a public channel."???
[08:15] <ferr> how could I use terminal that I would not need to write sudo and password everytime?
[08:16] <zipper_> ferr log in a root :D *scary music plays in background*
[08:16] <cfhowlett> ferr, set up one account for daily use.  use the "sudo" account for system maintenance.
[08:16] <tata> I need similar program for Ubuntu like is windows synctoy?
[08:17] <cfhowlett> tata, this is ubuntu.  no idea what synctoy is so perhaps you might explain what you want to accomplish ...
[08:18] <moses> does anyone know how to fix a path issue with a fortran compiler?
[08:19]  * cfhowlett ... fortran?  FORTRAN?
[08:19] <ferr> zipper_:  I'm logged in a root :| cfhowlett: so I need 2 accounts?
[08:20] <tata> ok, I have two big folders and I want to copy from 1 to 2 only defferant files
[08:20] <cfhowlett> ferr, need?  no.  but as a good practice, you set up a daily user account which has no system privileges for daily stuff.  Your admin account is specific to admin functions. Don't get them twisted.
[08:26] <varunendra> tata, perhaps the most perfect tool for doing what you want is 'rsync' program. Take a look at "man rsync" (in terminal) to see how to use it.
[08:31] <tking> please i installed boost library while i removed it using purge i remove it removed libre office is there a way to install it from terminal back? or how else?
[08:31] <root-gne> goodmorning
[08:31] <root-gne> i have a problem
[08:32] <cfhowlett> !details|root-gne,
[08:32] <root-gne> i installed ubuntu 13.04 in dell inspiron 1525
[08:32] <root-gne> and i dont have internet connection
[08:32] <root-gne> how can i fix it
[08:32] <cfhowlett> root-gne, you'll likely  need to do a broadcom wifi driver install.
[08:33] <root-gne> how can i do that
[08:33] <cfhowlett> root-gne, first, plug into a hard line network connection and check for additional drivers
[08:33] <root-gne> i dont have hard line connection
[08:33] <cfhowlett> root-gne, see the following   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[08:33] <kgalahassa> varunendra, your yesterday's proposition was wonderful, i'm satisfied. thks
[08:34] <cfhowlett> root-gne, for what it's worth, my 1545 required me to use the STA no internet access method.  2 minutes at the terminal and I had wifi.  No reboot required.
[08:34] <kgalahassa> I'm talking about screen'brightness. it's good now.
[08:35] <varunendra> kgalahassa, congrats ! :)
[08:35] <tking> please i installed boost library while i removed it using purge i remove it removed libre office is there a way to install it from terminal back? or how else?
[08:37] <varunendra> tking, "sudo apt-get install libreoffice" ??
[08:38] <root-gne> that with STA will must have cd install in cdrom
[08:39] <cfhowlett> root-gne, true indeed.  you DO have one of those right?
[08:39] <root-gne> zes
[08:39] <root-gne> yes
[08:39] <Ben64> Hi. Ubuntu 12.04, HP Probook 6565b. Broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727]. The wireless worked in the livecd, but not in the install. No wireless networks are found, and it is coming up as either eth0 or eth2, not wlan0. the driver "brcmsmac" freezes the whole computer if i try to insert that module
[08:39] <root-gne>  ihave
[08:39] <varunendra> root-gne, could you show us (preferably pastebin link) output of "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net" ?
[08:40] <cfhowlett> Ben64, suggest you reinstall the driver  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[08:40] <varunendra> Ben64, does "lsmod | grep wl" return an output?
[08:43] <Ben64> varunendra: yep
[08:44] <PsyKoTic> Hey guys, anyone willing to help me with a GRUB2 problem I'm having?
[08:44] <sw> !ask | PsyKoTic
[08:45] <varunendra> Ben64, did you try the brcmsmac driver while the sta one was installed?
[08:45] <varunendra> and how did you actually try to 'insert' it? Using "insmod" command? Ben64
[08:46] <Ben64> varunendra: tried it when it was installed, froze, removed it, then the whole thing froze on boot (I'm thinking it tried to load it on boot and died)
[08:46] <Ben64> varunendra: oh, and modprobe
[08:47] <ZakBawlz> ok
[08:47] <PsyKoTic> Okay, basically I installed Windows after partitioning my 500GB HDD. After installing Ubuntu I got a "File not found: Grub rescue>" I used supergrub to boot into Ubuntu but I can't use it to boot into Windows 7. I checked the files from my Windows partition and they're still all there. Any help?
[08:47] <zipper> Just tried registering for freenode I entered: /server caht.freenode.net                                            and it returned: You may not reregister
[08:47] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Are you in ubuntu now?
[08:47] <PsyKoTic> Yes
[08:48] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Post sudo fdisk -l in a pastebin.
[08:48] <varunendra> Ben64, that's quite strange for me. The brcmsmac has been a decent driver in my experience so far.
[08:49] <PsyKoTic> pastebin.com/p5VkcqHE
[08:49] <cfhowlett> varunendra, my manually installed broadcom has worked fine, that's why I suggested he reinstall
[08:50] <Ben64> its an HP if that matters... hp_wmi is loaded
[08:50] <varunendra> cfhowlett, as per the lsmod | grep wl command output, they already seem to have it installed.
[08:51] <cfhowlett> varunendra, right, right.  there were some kernel upgrades as well.  the tutorial I used was for 10.04 but worked for 12.04 as well.  However, a couple files had already been rolled into the kernel so weren't seen.  The method still worked though
[08:51] <icekitten> This is my problem. Where is my 100GB hard drive?

[08:52] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Have you tried to reload the mbr with grub?
[08:52] <PsyKoTic> No. Could you tell me how? :)
[08:52] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Run   sudo grub-install /dev/sda : sudo update-grub
[08:53] <wasanzy> any one have success installing ubuntu side ways windows 8?
[08:53] <cfhowlett> wasanzy, "besides" windows 8?  yes.
[08:53] <PsyKoTic> ahaha
[08:53] <varunendra> Ben64, brcmsmac is working fine for many users in 13.04. For 12.04, you may try this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140263&p=12625996#post12625996
[08:53] <wasanzy> as in dual boot
[08:54] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Windows showing in the grub-update?
[08:54] <root-gne> i dont have connection as with live cd
[08:54] <mathnode> Does anyone know how to skip/disable/kill-with-fire, the installer that is intiated with the mysql-server package?
[08:54] <Ben64> varunendra: well i could try to install 13.04
[08:54] <PsyKoTic> should i just sudo apt-get update ?
[08:54] <Ben64> varunendra: this so far is a fresh 12.04 install, so nothing would be lost. i generally prefer LTS
[08:54] <PsyKoTic> Because I can't seem to reload mbr
[08:55] <varunendra> Ben64, I'd suggest you try the older version of wl first, as suggested in that post.
[08:55] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, copy and paste this whole command and report what happens, sudo grub-install /dev/sda : sudo update-grub
[08:56] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, YOu have to be in the ubuntu install.
[08:56] <varunendra> root-gne, what is the output of "lspci -nn | grep 0280" ? Full output

[09:01] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Hirens is the last app you want.
[09:02] <wasanzy> anyone to help we with the installation? if I install windows 8 first and partition the disk, ubuntu doesn't seem to see the partition so it tries to use the entire disk which is by removing the windows 8 too
[09:02] <cfhowlett> !uefi|wasanzy,
[09:02] <PsyKoTic> Wilee, it wants to install a menu.lst
[09:02] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, I had a : rather then ; as the and
[09:02] <blazemore> wasanzy: Try running chkdsk in Windows before installing
[09:02] <PsyKoTic> oh okay
[09:02] <cfhowlett> wasanzy, normal behavior for uefi/windows 8
[09:02] <mathnode> The ubuntu launchpad sessions for reporting bugs are timing out.
[09:02] <PsyKoTic> So should i reboot wilee? :D
[09:03] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, menu.list is grub legacy what is the ubuntu release?
[09:03] <PsyKoTic> 13.04
[09:03] <PsyKoTic> That's what I thought :P
[09:04] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Are you sure menu .list it should install-grub should finish with no errors and the updtae-grub should show the grub list
[09:04] <wilee-nilee> grub2 boot list
[09:04] <PsyKoTic> It looked for a menu.lst, couldn't find one and asked if I wanted one generated
[09:05] <wasanzy> cfhowlett, so should I install windows 8 first or ubuntu first?
[09:05] <PsyKoTic> ubuntu wasanzy
[09:06] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, I would have to see that, better yet you can generate a bootinfo summary with this app, just run the summary and post the urk generated.  PsyKoTic
[09:06] <icekitten> https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/996520_174859249361788_1528664161_n.jpg Maybe, Ubuntu created its own drive out of nothing lmao its the only thing that makes sense
[09:06] <PsyKoTic> What app?
[09:06] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[09:06] <PsyKoTic> thanks :)
[09:06] <cfhowlett> wasanzy, your windows are still there, but you might need to jigger it a bit to get a bootable system.   You can check this by running "sudo parted -l" which will give you an error message explaining exactly whats wrong if your partition table is invalid.
[09:09] <PsyKoTic> oh shit it didn't even install
[09:09] <wasanzy> ok
[09:11] <PsyKoTic> Wilee-nilee should i make a bootinfo report
[09:11] <PsyKoTic> ?
[09:11] <mathnode> Anyone? Launchpad is timing out, so I can't submit my big (with big swear words). Can the installer be disabled for mysql-server?
[09:11] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, Yes just run the bootinfo summary and post the url it gives.
[09:11] <wasanzy> Jordan_U, no error was reported but the partition table is gpt
[09:12] <mathnode> oh it's apt-get -d apparently
[09:12] <Jordan_U> wasanzy: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[09:12] <timriley> Hi

[09:14] <PsyKoTic> It says Vista but it's 7 (Don't wanna look like a massive n00b) :P
[09:17] <wilee-nilee> Jordan_U, Hey, would you take a look at PsyKoTic's bootinfo above,
[09:17] <wasanzy> Jordan_U, http://paste.scsys.co.uk/261880
[09:17] <kingbeast> PsyKoTic, make sure you change your password when you're done
[09:18] <wilee-nilee> PsyKoTic, You have as I thought from the fdisk a bit of a mixture of HD's sdb shows efi, sda does not, a bit beyond my skills.
[09:18] <PsyKoTic> You mean my Ubuntu password?
[09:18] <PsyKoTic> ah shit
[09:18] <PsyKoTic> Should i just restore MBR?
[09:19] <wooo> I have made an image file of sd card. I want to read it in hex form. Is there any way to do that ?
[09:19] <PsyKoTic> Open it in a hex editor

[09:21] <digitalknight> hi all
[09:21] <digitalknight> I am trying to install libssh2 in ubuntu 10 something
[09:21] <digitalknight> apt-get tells me that there is no package named that
[09:21] <digitalknight> how do I solve that?
[09:21] <Ben64> varunendra: doesn't work
[09:21] <wasanzy> am currently not installing yet. I will do the reinstallation soon
[09:21] <Ben64> digitalknight: 10 what
[09:22] <iceroot> digitalknight: apt-cache search libssh2  is showing libssh2-1 here (debian)
[09:22] <blazemore> digitalknight: Why are you trying to install libssh? And 10 what?
[09:22] <iceroot> digitalknight: so find out the correct package-name with apt-cache search
[09:22] <digitalknight> how do I check the distro version?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> wasanzy: You don't need to actually install, just go through the installer enough to demonstrate the problem you're having (and I'm going to leave soon).
[09:22] <varunendra> Ben64, checked the current version in use? (dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source | grep -i version)
[09:22] <iceroot> digitalknight: cat /etc/issue
[09:23] <digitalknight> ah,thanks iceroot
[09:23] <digitalknight> 10.04
[09:23] <iceroot> digitalknight: you should not use 10.04 anymore as a desktop system because it will not get security updates anymore (for the gui part)
[09:23] <digitalknight> blazemore: i need to do SSH tunneling from my app
[09:23] <iceroot> !eol | digitalknight
[09:24] <Ben64> varunendra: yeah theres some problem with it, the wl driver is non existent now
[09:24] <wasanzy> ok,
[09:24] <digitalknight> iceroot: thanks,but this is running in a VM
[09:24] <digitalknight> not sure if I should risk the upgrade there
[09:24] <iceroot> digitalknight: and what should be the difference?
[09:25] <iceroot> digitalknight: if you use the system to surf on the internet for example or to store important data you should update
[09:25] <digitalknight> iceroot: I have a lot of servers set up currently,I just don't want to go throughout the trouble of setting them up :)
[09:25] <digitalknight> I am on a Macbook Pro
[09:25] <iceroot> digitalknight: if you use it as a server, everything is fine
[09:25] <iceroot> digitalknight: oh i am sorry that you have a macjail pro .(
[09:25] <digitalknight> iceroot: yes,primarily as a server and a dev environment
[09:26] <digitalknight> iceroot: true that, I hate mac
[09:26] <iceroot> digitalknight: the server edition is still getting sec-updates just not the desktop part
[09:26] <digitalknight> iceroot: ok,now,how do I solve this?
[09:26] <digitalknight> apt cache?
[09:27] <iceroot> !find libssh2-1 lucid
[09:27] <iceroot> digitalknight: sudo apt-get install libssh2-1
[09:27] <iceroot> digitalknight: the package is called libssh2-1 and not libssh2
[09:27] <digitalknight> oh,thanks a ton iceroot !
[09:27] <digitalknight> let me try compiling my app again
[09:28] <iceroot> digitalknight: then maybe you want libssh2-1-dev
[09:28] <varunendra> Ben64, couldn't get it. Do you mean it is not in the repositories anymore? (version <IP_ADDRESS>+bdcom-0ubuntu6)
[09:28] <digitalknight> iceroot: lt me install that as well
[09:28] <JuanTambayan> how to create webpage?

[09:30] <digitalknight> ah,getting undefined reference errors

[09:31] <Jordan_U> wasanzy: Are you having trouble getting that screenshot?
[09:31] <JuanTambayan> how to create webpage?
[09:32] <randoof> Hi, can I ask a very newbie question please?
[09:32] <cfhowlett> !ask|randoof,
[09:32] <varunendra> Ben64, do you mean modprobe wl gives errors even after installing it? Could be a compilation error if so. Which kernel version you are at?
[09:33] <randoof> !ask
[09:33] <Ben64> varunendra: module not found, 3.5.0-23-generic
[09:33] <MonkeyDust> randoof  so what's your question?
[09:33] <randoof> I just used the "mv" command with a trailing slash ie 'mv /home/randoof/myDir/ myDirectory' and it's disappeared, has it gone?!
[09:34] <digitalknight> !patience
[09:35] <varunendra> Ben64, read the Edit 1 on that post then. You will need to follow the method for newer kernels as mentioned here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140640&p=12629619#post12629619
[09:35] <llutz> randoof: it's "myDiretory" now, in the dir you have been in when issueing the mv-command
[09:36] <llutz> randoof: find ~ -type d -name "myD*"
[09:36] <randoof> oh fantastic, thank you so muh
[09:36] <randoof> much*
[09:36] <JuanTambayan> how to create webpage?
[09:36] <Ben64> varunendra: which edit?
[09:37] <Ben64> JuanTambayan: not really an ubuntu issue, look up html guides?
[09:37] <wizrd> randoof: remember to specify the full destination path when copying or moving
[09:37] <cfhowlett> JuanTambayan, this is not a webpage creation channel ... are you asking in general or about using ubuntu specifically?
[09:37] <wizrd> unless you are certain about the location from where you issue the command
[09:37] <llutz> JuanTambayan: open an editor of your choice, type ahead. you might want to read somethink like selfhtml.org
[09:37] <MonkeyDust> JuanTambayan  type /join #html
[09:37] <varunendra> Ben64, the one at the top of the post I linked to. But nevermind that, it'll just point you to the link I just posted above.
[09:37] <digitalknight> iceroot: worked,thanks a ton
[09:38] <digitalknight> and I shall try upgrading as well
[09:38] <varunendra> Ben64, the edit was on the earlier post that I gave you link of.
[09:38] <digitalknight> If it is was not a company laptop, I would have removed Mac OS and replaced it with 13

[09:54] <ikonia> Beetoo: what hardware and how is it not working ?
[09:55] <Beetoo> well during installation, the mouse the network and graphics card all work
[09:55] <ikonia> Beetoo: can you please expand beyond "not working"
[09:55] <Beetoo> but when i reboot, i get 4:3 resolution with nothing working. not even the usb mouse
[09:56] <ikonia> Beetoo: ok - lets approach it one thing at t atime
[09:56] <Beetoo> ok
[09:56] <ikonia> Beetoo: is your mouse not moving / wortking at all, or just not working as you expect ?
[09:56] <Beetoo> not moving at all
[09:57] <ikonia> Beetoo: ok, do you know/are you capable of opening a terminal on your desktop ?
[09:57] <Beetoo> the pointer is stuck at the center. only laptop keyboard works
[09:57] <ikonia> Beetoo: does your laptop have a trackpad/nipple on it ?
[09:57] <Beetoo> yes. but it also does not work
[09:58] <ikonia> Beetoo: ok, so can you please open a terminal ?
[09:58] <Beetoo> yes i can open terminal
[09:58] <ikonia> Beetoo: ok, if you do "ls -la /dev/mouse" is there a device there ?
[09:59] <Beetoo> no. only /dev/sda
[09:59] <blazemore> Beetoo: Is there a keyboard shortcut on your laptop to disable the trackpad? What model of laptop do you have?
[09:59] <ikonia> Beetoo: /dev/input ?
[09:59] <Beetoo> i have sony vaio vpceb36fg
[10:00] <Beetoo> its not only about mouse. the ethernet card also does not work
[10:00] <ikonia> Beetoo: yes, buy lets do one thing at a time as I've just said
[10:00] <blazemore> Beetoo: Check anyway, they're totally separate issues
[10:00] <Beetoo> "ip link" only lists "lo". nothing else
[10:00] <blazemore> Beetoo: forget network for now
[10:00] <ikonia> Beetoo: ok, bad luck you're ignored
[10:00] <Beetoo> ok
[10:00] <blazemore> Beetoo: Network will be a lot easier to fix once we get your mouse working, but you *must* be cooperative
[10:00] <Beetoo> ok
[10:02] <Beetoo> but i am not on ubuntu now as network doesn't work. so i can not currently check the commands
[10:02] <blazemore> Beetoo: Do you have another computer you can use for IRC? or do you have a wireless network you can connect to on Ubuntu?
[10:03] <icekitten> Could someone give me the command life in Terminal to instal the adobe flash player plug-in
[10:03] <ikonia> !flash | icekitten

[10:09] <cfhowlett> unitraxx, greetings
[10:09] <icekitten> *giggles* mostly ;)
[10:09] <icekitten> hehe'
[10:11] <unitraxx> Quick question : I'm installing ubuntu (13.04, doesn't matter) on an UEFI machine (disabling secure boot actually worked. lovely Asus. MSI didn't know this success.), but now I got to the point of manually partitioning! Where do I put my boot loader ? /dev/sda (default) or /dev/sda1 where my efi partition is located. (Aha I should mention that windows 8 is preinstalled.)
[10:11] <icekitten> hmmm... I'm going to read deeper but  I didnt see anything for chrome
[10:11] <icekitten> I know its integrated but it still asked me to install adobe
[10:12] <ikonia> nothing is intergrated
[10:12] <ikonia> as the document shows the name of the search and package you need
[10:12] <icekitten> Right
[10:12] <unitraxx> I've got 64 gigs of unallocated space. (I've got 8 Gig RAM) Do you recommend me using a swap partition?
[10:12] <cfhowlett> unitraxx, couldn't hurt
[10:14] <icekitten> Fine. I'll try the software center because adobe isnt as easy as every other command lol
[10:15] <longwuyuan> raring install on mbpro-late13 = fan speed high. please help. macfanctld not doing its thing
[10:15] <cfhowlett> !mac|longwuyuan,
[10:16] <wizrd> unitraxx: I have a swap space of 32 gb while I have 32 gb RAM. Just in case ...
[10:17] <longwuyuan> cfhowlet: ??
[10:17] <cfhowlett> cfhowlett, see the link for resources.  I've only used an ihackintosh so that doesn't count
[10:18] <unitraxx> cfhowlett: did you see my first question ? (the long one :) about efi partition)
[10:19] <cfhowlett> unitraxx, yep.  again, ihackintosh.  different beast.  for mac help see the mac support pages.  most here are NOT on mac ...
[10:20] <wizrd> unitraxx: I would go gor the default option
[10:20] <unitraxx> I'm on an asus.. not a mac :)
[10:20] <cfhowlett> unitraxx, DOH!  right.  sorry.
[10:20] <Lorra> Hi everybody! Can anybody tell me why I have a .config and a .rpmdb directories in my root directory? (that is /.config and /.rpmdb) I've never heard about them...
[10:20] <unitraxx> If I take the default option, will it detect the efi partition itself?
[10:20] <ikonia> Lorra: nott using ubuntu ?
[10:20] <cfhowlett> unitraxx, wizrd is right, though.  default settings usually the right thing to do.
[10:21] <wizrd> Lorra: a folder or file starting with a dot is hidden
[10:21] <Lorra> ikonia: I am using ubuntu
[10:21] <ikonia> Lorra: can you show me the output of uname -a please.
[10:21] <Lorra> ikonia: ubuntu 12.04.2
[10:21] <unitraxx> the very default option of ubuntu is "install ubuntu alongside windows 8" and nobody picks that one either. :D
[10:21] <Lorra> ikonia: Linux HeyHey 3.2.0-49-generic #75-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 18 17:39:32 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[10:21] <Lorra>
[10:21] <ikonia> Lorra: the .config directory is not a problem but have you been trying to use rpm's ?
[10:21] <sb4953> Hi
[10:22] <cfhowlett> sb4953, greetings
[10:22] <Lorra> ikonia: I don't have any rpm handling software, I only have I package which I "aliened" into a rpm before dpkg -i'ing it
[10:22] <ikonia> Lorra: there we go then
[10:22] <Lorra> *into a deb, pardon
[10:23] <ikonia> that's the issue
[10:23] <ikonia> that's what's created teh rpmdb
[10:28] <irec> Anyone tried running Nemo as replacement for Files in 13.04? If so, problems?
[10:33] <blazemore> irec: I run nemo on Linux Mint 15 with no issues
[10:34] <irec> blazemore:  As do I... I wanted some of the functionality in Ubuntu though...
[10:34] <blazemore> irec: You could try it, it can't hurt
[10:34] <irec> but without the problems...
[10:34] <irec> I will... thought I'd check first
[10:37] <BluesKaj> HI all
[10:38] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, greetings BK!
[10:38] <irec> blazemore:  ty
[10:38] <BluesKaj> Hi cfhowlett
[10:40] <christoz> greetings people, is it possible to install ubuntu server in a vbox with 64mb or 128mb given available memory?
[10:41] <ikonia> christoz: no
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> christoz  server does not require a GUI, so I guess it's possible
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> ok, so no
[10:41] <ikonia> look at the minimum requirements
[10:42] <wizrd> christoz: you can install Ubuntu server in a vbox but not with your specs
[10:45] <christoz> thats not my hardware ram specs, i have 2gb RAM which are consumed by windows 8, my vga which is consuming 128mb from RAM, and i want to give the minimal amount of ram for the box to run ubuntu server with no desktop
[10:45] <ikonia> christoz: what is the spec of the virtual machine you want to run it in
[10:47] <christoz> ikonia: virtualbox doc says that i need at least 512 ram for it
[10:47] <ikonia> christoz: right...so that's what you need then
[10:48] <blazemore> christoz: I don't understand the issue
[10:49] <christoz> blazemore: ikonia: yes, but whats the minimal additional memory to be given to run ubuntu server with no desktop
[10:49] <Dinnah> can i install SQL server 2005 in Ubuntu??
[10:49] <ikonia> christoz: 512mb
[10:49] <ikonia> if that's what the doc says
[10:49] <ikonia> Dinnah: no
[10:49] <snpresent> hello!!!
[10:49] <blazemore> Hello snpresent
[10:50] <cfhowlett> snpresent, greetings
[10:50] <Dinnah> ikonia......i there any other database that i can use?
[10:50] <ikonia> Dinnah: mysql, postgres etc
[10:50] <christoz> ikonia: 512 is only for vbox machine, not with ubuntu
[10:50] <ikonia> christoz: right, the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[10:51] <christoz> ikonia: yep, i was just asking if anyone has use it with the minimal requirements and less
[10:51] <christoz> used*
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> christoz: I suggest you run Xubuntu or Lubuntu in a virtual system
[10:52] <ikonia> christoz: the minimum requirements meens "required" so you don't run it with "less"
[10:52] <blazemore> ActionParsnip: he wants to run server
[10:53] <torocatala_> Hello
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> blazemore: even better :)
[10:53] <cfhowlett> torocatala_, greetings
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> christoz: RAM requirements will depend on the use of the server, a file and print server will run fine ion 512Mb, an SQL server may struggle...and so forth
[10:54] <Torocatala> so
[10:54] <Dinnah> ikonia.....if say i use mysql...dan switch 2 windows os....i can open the database i created with mysql in sql server?
[10:54] <ikonia> Dinnah: mysql is available in windows yes, but you can't open mysql databases in sql server
[10:55] <Dinnah> Ikonia....oh! yeah....tanx a lot.
[10:56] <Torocatala> I have a laptop running last xubuntu version. The laptop has an integrated webcam. The webcam works but I wanted to know if there is any command that will showme info of the webcam on the console. I tried both lsusb and lspci and it show nothing. Thanks.
[10:56] <snpresent> and i just thought that  Dash  responds  too slow   when usr use it,
[10:57] <christoz> ActionParsnip: i need it for web development,  not for public use, in that case maybe i should switch back to linux, i need open ssl and wamp i'm having issues with wamp about that.
[10:57] <unitraxx> installed the bootloader as default, restarted, and it just boots in windows..
[10:57] <unitraxx> what now
[10:58] <BluesKaj> Torocatala, pastebin lspci  anyway
[10:58]  * christoz sorry for the typo
[10:59] <Torocatala> BluesKaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5877076/
[10:59] <ispirto> how can i "output" the iowait without using top
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> christoz: should be ok, 1 user will put minimal strain on a server
[10:59] <unitraxx> if I install ubuntu alongside windows 8, both in uefi, what menu should I get to choose what to boot?
[10:59] <unitraxx> grub or windows ?
[11:00] <nnyk_> Hi guys, please how can i copy the output of top (or terminal commands) directly to the clipboard?
[11:00] <christoz> thanks for your time guys, i'll try with minimal ram and see what happens. cheers
[11:00] <ikonia> nnyk_: you can't
[11:00] <ikonia> nnyk_: you'd need to screen scrape it
[11:01] <troulouliou_dev> hi image viewer is always crashing here in 13.04 especially with larger jpg; anybody facing this issue too ?
[11:01] <nnyk_> ikonia: hmm...okay, thanks
[11:01] <OerHeks> nnyk_, use xclip http://askubuntu.com/questions/184397/how-do-i-pipe-terminal-standard-output-stdout-to-the-clipboard
[11:03] <unitraxx> some guide says I should've installed the boot loader on sda7 (in my case, because I installed root there.)
[11:03] <unitraxx> any comments ?
[11:03] <ikonia> unitraxx: the boot loader belongs on the mbr
[11:03] <unitraxx> ok good
[11:03] <k1l> unitraxx: the bootloader needs to go into the MBR on the device, not into a partition
[11:04] <nnyk_> OerHeks: thanks, what I was looking for. :D
[11:04] <unitraxx> so what do I have to change now to get grub or so, instead of booting into windows
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Torocatala, by process of elimination it looks like this one , Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01)
[11:05] <irec> OerHeks: nice... didn't know xclip
[11:05] <Torocatala> BluesKaj, but isn't that the WiFi card?
[11:06] <k1l> unitraxx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[11:06] <unitraxx> but I did not install windows afterwards
[11:06] <BluesKaj> Torocatala, no , this one is your wifi , Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[11:07] <k1l> unitraxx: but you got the same problem, because you did install the bootloader into the wrong place
[11:07] <unitraxx> why did I install it in the wrong place ? I just picked the default option
[11:07] <unitraxx> \dev\sda
[11:07] <k1l> unitraxx: you just told you made it into sda7
[11:08] <unitraxx> I did not, that's what a guide said I should've done, but I did not
[11:08] <OerHeks> nnyk_,  irec have fun
[11:08] <ikonia> unitraxx no you didnt
[11:08] <ikonia> unitraxx: you just said a guide told you to put it on /dev/sda7
[11:08] <ikonia> sorry, don't believe it
[11:08] <unitraxx> I found that guide afterwards :p
[11:08] <nnyk_> ikonia: xclip can do what i need...thanks
[11:08] <ikonia> unitraxx: how many hard disks do you have /
[11:08] <unitraxx> 1
[11:09] <unitraxx> Perhaps I should've picked the efi partition for the boot loader after all
[11:09] <ikonia> unitraxx: ok, so if it had installed to /dev/sda as you say, it would boot into grub
[11:09] <k1l> unitraxx: anyway. since you dont see a grub at startup your grub is somewhere but not where it belongs. so use that wiki page to make it right
[11:09] <unitraxx> doesn't it automatically look into the efi partition to boot ?
[11:09] <unitraxx> instead of mbr
[11:09] <Torocatala> oh, right BluesKaj, my bad
[11:10] <unitraxx> but I'll try boot-repair
[11:10] <BluesKaj> you mean mistake , Torocatala , nothing bad about it , we all make them
[11:10] <unitraxx> I guess it can't hurt :)
[11:11] <nnyk_> OerHeks: is it just me or it seems xclip doesnt work for 'top'...?
[11:11] <unitraxx> (For the record I have installed ubuntu numerous times on non-uefi systems.)
[11:12] <BluesKaj> Torocatala, in other words , I don't like that expression , it's not real english
[11:13] <Tigmag> Hello!
[11:13] <unitraxx> (Oh in my bios windows and ubuntu have different boot options, never seen that before)
[11:13] <Torocatala> BluesKaj, ok, thx, i'm not native english speaker
[11:14] <Tigmag> Could anyone help me to resolve a problem? It's about an external HDD, I can't mount/open it in the file manager, it writes "not authorized".
[11:15] <MonkeyDust> Tigmag  maybe change its !permissions
[11:15] <Tigmag> Where can I do that? Is there any chance to mount it from the terminal? And how.. I don't know about the commands.
[11:16] <ActionPa1snip> Tigmag: what file system does it use?
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> Tigmag  sudo mount /dev/blah /media
[11:16] <Tigmag> I think it's NTFS, and I'm on a Crunchbang linux.
[11:16] <ActionPa1snip> Tigmag: crunchbang isnt supported here
[11:17] <Tigmag> Ok, sorry.. Just didn't know where to ask. :)
[11:17] <ActionPa1snip> Tigmag:  #crunchbang
[11:17] <irec> nnyk: I haven't tried yet but try:  top -b -n1
[11:17] <Campfire> how do i get  error report term
[11:18] <Tigmag> Thank you. :)
[11:19] <OerHeks> nnyk_ i think you need the -n switch > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man1/top.1.html
[11:19] <Campfire> webmaster have i had any complaints
[11:20] <prashant_123456> cannot find smbd file in /etc/init.d/ using ubuntu 13.04
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> Campfire  this is the ubuntu support channel, sure you're on the right spot?
[11:20] <g105b> I've got a crontab set to run every 10 minutes, but it seems that it is only sometimes running every 20 minutes ... I'm new to using crontab, where should I start looking to find out the problem?
[11:21] <Tigmag> What does it mean by "USB is not a block device"? (I tried 'sudo mount /dev/usb /media' Was I wrong?)
[11:21] <ikonia> prashant_123456: its not in there any more,
[11:21] <Campfire> my bad am i all good here
[11:21] <ikonia> Tigmag: usb is not a block device - you need a block device to mount a disk
[11:21] <Tigmag> Ok.
[11:21] <prashant_123456> ikonia, so where can i find it
[11:21] <cfhowlett> Campfire, that translation program is not aiding your clarity ...
[11:21] <ikonia> prashant_123456: what are you trying to do ?
[11:21] <prashant_123456> or i can say how to start and stop samba server
[11:22] <prashant_123456> ikonia,
[11:22] <k1l> Tigmag: for crunchbang support please ask in their supportchannel. maybe its a specific problem
[11:22] <ikonia> prashant_123456: who told you to do that ?
[11:22] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i just want to start and stop the samab server
[11:22] <ikonia> prashant_123456: yes, but who told you to run that command
[11:22] <k1l> !upstart | prashant_123456
[11:23] <k1l> prashant_123456: use the service command
[11:23] <prashant_123456> ikonia, on some websites
[11:23] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok - so avoid that website, don't use it again, it's wrong/out of date
[11:23] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ubuntu uses upstart, so you should access stopping/starting services via the "sudo service" command.
[11:23] <prashant_123456> k1l,  service command can u show me ?
[11:24] <Campfire> i got a gnome error i,m trying to trouble shoot some brightness applet
[11:24] <prashant_123456> ikonia, full command please
[11:25] <Campfire> for term service whats it mean when there is a question mark next to a service
[11:25] <ikonia> prashant_123456: come on - you need to look up the service name, it's going to be either samba/smbd or something like that
[11:25] <Enemtee> i'm having problems using prop-drivers for AMD/ATI, cause they disable my soundcard's mic-port, anyone with a solution?
[11:25] <prashant_123456> ikonia, ok let me search for that
[11:26] <Campfire> i read that killing service in term only temp kills them am i correct
[11:27] <prashant_123456> nope no service like samba/smbd ikonia
[11:27] <ikonia> prashant_123456: how are you checking ?
[11:27] <prashant_123456> sudo find / -iname smbd ikonia
[11:28] <ikonia> prashant_123456: that's not a service - that's a file name
[11:28] <k1l> prashant_123456: http://askubuntu.com/questions/79078/how-to-restart-samba-server
[11:28] <prashant_123456> even top cant display it ikonia
[11:28] <ikonia> top ??
[11:28] <ikonia> why are you looking at top
[11:28] <fyksen> Hey! I just got a new laptop. Acer v7 582pg. I have just installed Ubuntu 13.04 on it. But the wireless doesnt work. The wireless card I got is: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 7260. Does anybody know how to get this working in Ubuntu?
[11:28] <prashant_123456> ikonia, for process
[11:28]  * cfhowlett ... that's no service.  (Imperial Death March tune starts)...
[11:29] <ikonia> prashant_123456: I didn't say look for processes or file names
[11:29] <prashant_123456> ikonia,  how to find sorry for the question
[11:29] <Pricey> ikonia: It isn't still "sudo service smbd stop"?
[11:29] <ikonia> Pricey: I don't know if it's smbd or samba, I don't have a machine to check
[11:29] <ikonia> hence asking prashant_123456 to check
[11:30] <prashant_123456> ikonia, ok
[11:30] <Pricey> ikonia: prashant_123456: http://askubuntu.com/questions/79078/how-to-restart-samba-server suggests it was/is "sudo service smbd stop"
[11:30] <k1l> i just showed a link to a askubuntu page which solves the problem :/
[11:30] <prashant_123456> Pricey, unrecognized command
[11:31] <ikonia> prashant_123456: please show me exactly what you are typing
[11:31] <k1l> prashant_123456: which ubuntu are you on?
[11:31] <prashant_123456> sudo service smbd stop ikonia
[11:31] <k1l> prashant_123456: which ubuntu exactly?
[11:31] <prashant_123456> k1l, ubuntu 13.04
[11:31] <ActionPa1snip> prashant_123456: you can TAB complete the service names
[11:31] <k1l> prashant_123456: please pastebin the command and the output
[11:32] <Pricey> ActionPa1snip: copying and pasting the above 'should' work.
[11:32] <prashant_123456> ActionPa1snip, ok let me check please
[11:32] <prashant_123456> ActionPa1snip, dont work
[11:32] <ActionPa1snip> Pricey: just an fyi ;)
[11:32] <prashant_123456> k1l, ok
[11:32] <ActionPa1snip> prashant_123456: is samba installed?
[11:32] <Enemtee> come again. prop-drivers for ati/amd, no mic-sound, what's up?
[11:33] <prashant_123456> ActionPa1snip, yes
[11:33] <ikonia> ActionPa1snip: service should still be "valid" just samba as a service would not be
[11:33] <prashant_123456> ActionPa1snip, wait please i will check
[11:33] <BluesKaj> prashant_123456, try sudo service smb start , withoutb the "d"
[11:34] <prashant_123456> BluesKaj, unrec service
[11:34] <BluesKaj> ok
[11:34] <k1l> prashant_123456: if you are not using ubuntu the suggestions here will not work.
[11:34] <ActionPa1snip> prashant_123456: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[11:34] <BluesKaj> prashant_123456, inatall  smbclient
[11:35] <Pricey> BluesKaj: Why?
[11:35] <BluesKaj> err install
[11:35] <prashant_123456> k1l, wait ActionPa1snip i have to reinstall samba
[11:35] <prashant_123456> BluesKaj, k1l yes sir ActionPa1snip
[11:36] <Campfire> ty for reminding me of cat command
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> Campfire  are you a comment generating bot?
[11:36] <ikonia> why do you have to re-install samba ?

[11:49] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes i can see process there
[11:49] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, please pastebin your smb.conf
[11:49] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes please
[11:50] <prashant_123456> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5877191
[11:51] <prashant_123456> ikonia,
[11:51] <varunendra> Campfire, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu#Torrent
[11:51] <unitraxx> BluesKaj: while the terminal echoed promising results (something like windows found, entry added) it still doesn't work :(
[11:51] <ikonia> prashant_123456: have you restarted it after making the changes to the smb.conf
[11:51] <unitraxx> oh nvm
[11:51] <unitraxx> I just have to take another option in the list
[11:52] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes should i restart the machine ?
[11:52] <ikonia> prashant_123456: shouldn't need to if you've restarted the smb daemon
[11:52] <jacta> BluesKaj: Thanks anyways :P
[11:52] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes i have stopped and then started both the daemons smbd and nmbd
[11:52] <inkjetunito> hello. did the samsung uefi bug workaround make its way into 12.04?
[11:52] <BluesKaj> unitraxx, do you mean grub menu doesn't load at boot?
[11:52] <unitraxx> it does now :)
[11:52] <prashant_123456> ikonia, is my smb.conf file ok ??
[11:52] <unitraxx> but there are multiple windows entries
[11:53] <Campfire> ty va
[11:53] <unitraxx> and only one works, with has something with efi in it's name
[11:53] <unitraxx> the windows 8 bootloader gives an error
[11:53] <ikonia> prashant_123456: just reading
[11:53] <prashant_123456> ok ikonia
[11:54] <ikonia> prashant_123456: looks enough to display a share
[11:54] <BluesKaj> unitraxx, ok , my knowledge on W8 and it's problems is nil , so I'll have pass on this
[11:54] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i have just entered the [test] at the end of the file
[11:54] <ikonia> prashant_123456: and restarted samba ?
[11:54] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes after that i have restarted the samba
[11:55] <prashant_123456> ikonia, smbpasswd ??
[11:55] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, so net status shares should list that share
[11:55] <unitraxx> BluesKaj: now i booted back into ubuntu, and my fan decided to go loco
[11:55] <ikonia> prashant_123456: assuming you're not got anything like a firewall blocking the port on the local machine.
[11:55] <prashant_123456> no luck till ikonia net status shares do not show
[11:56] <ikonia> prashant_123456: can you connect to it with smbclient
[11:56] <vorlket> when backing up and restoring linux system, why is it not needed to archive /proc, /sys, and /?
[11:57] <prashant_123456> can you tell me the exact command of smbclient ikonia
[11:57] <ikonia> vorlket: because they are ram
[11:57] <prashant_123456> ikonia, smbclient -L a-desktop -u
[11:57] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i think
[11:57] <ikonia> prashant_123456: I don't have a linux box to hand to get the syntax, man smbclient should give you the info
[11:57] <BluesKaj> unitraxx,  one command you might try is , sudo os-prober , then run sudo update-grub again
[11:57] <unitraxx> and does
[11:58] <unitraxx> "pointer to TMDS table invalid" ring a bell to you ? :p
[11:58] <prashant_123456> ok ikonia
[11:58] <Campfire> ty varundra one more question is there a good program to deleat all hidin partitions and etc to make sure hdd really clean
[11:58] <vorlket> ikonia: so those files are not on hdd but created upon boot?
[11:58] <ikonia> vorlket: that's it, yes
[11:58] <ikonia> prashant_123456: I'll be back in 15 - need to make a phone call
[11:58] <vorlket> ikonia: i see thanks!
[11:59] <prashant_123456> ikonia, ok sir

[12:06] <papret>  in calc, how to count nonempty cells? how to count cells with a particular color background? or how to count noncolored cells?
[12:08] <achmode> has anyone ever had a problem where portable ubuntu remix disables their keyboard a little while after starting up?
[12:08] <dn5> I repaired my problem with ruby.
[12:11] <k1l> achmode: its seems outdated and is not supported in here. we have persisten live mode
[12:11] <vorlket> how do i do find the harddisk and boot partition numbers?:
[12:11] <vorlket> 4. Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).
[12:11] <vorlket> 5. Type "setup (hd0)", ot whatever your harddisk nr is.
[12:11] <achmode> k1l: can that run as application inside windows?
[12:13] <k1l> achmode: nope. that is not supported. use vbox or some other virtualisation
[12:14] <nb-ben_work> Resizing a partition with gparted is such a bad mistake...
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> nb-ben_work  you mean, ithout dataloss ?
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> without*
[12:15] <nb-ben_work> no I mean it's faster to create a new partition and copy the stuff to it
[12:15] <hdon> hi all :) i have an nvidia graphics card. how can i query my system to find which version of their proprietary (ugh) graphics driver i have?
[12:15] <papret> say i have hourly appointments and in my schedule each booked hour is colored (the color used indicates the type of appointment).... how do i count cells with background "yellow" for example? how do i count all colored cells? how do i count all noncolored (empty) cells?
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> papret  in what scheduler?
[12:16] <nb-ben_work> hdon, run nvidia-settings
[12:16] <nb-ben_work> ull probably be able to see there
[12:16] <hdon> nb-ben_work, thanks :)
[12:16] <ikonia> prashant_123456: I'm back
[12:16] <ikonia> prashant_123456: sorry about that, are you still struggling ?
[12:17] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i cann see the shares from windows clients
[12:17] <unitraxx> till what date is 13.04 supported? And will the update to the new LTS be convenient?
[12:17] <ikonia> prashant_123456: that's great
[12:17] <prashant_123456> ikonia, but cannot access from ubuntu
[12:17] <nb-ben_work> well, I guess I am stuck with no data now
[12:17] <ikonia> prashant_123456: I'm wondering if that's down to a lack of netbios names
[12:17] <nb-ben_work> for a while
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> unitraxx  13.04 support ends in january 2014
[12:18] <nb-ben_work> I'll go shopping
[12:18] <anonee> hi all, about Ubuntu One, is it normal that I unselected all the folders to sync during setup, but it still syncing all the hidden directories under /home/me ?
[12:18] <prashant_123456> ikonia, net status shares cannot display anyting still but can access from windows clients
[12:18] <unitraxx> MonkeyDust: thanks :) then I don't need to worry for a while
[12:18] <ikonia> prashant_123456: so the good thing is you know it's actually working
[12:18] <prashant_123456> ikonia, how to handle netbios or to configure
[12:18] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes i am glad
[12:18] <ikonia> prashant_123456: I'm wondering it its a lack of netbios resolution on the linux host that's stopping the linux host resolving shares
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> unitraxx  http://ubuntuone.com/4ayHg2YG9X77HXtehm8Mts
[12:21] <CappyT> hi all, i have a little problem installing 13.04, can anyone help? It's this error: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX22y7aC4f8
[12:21] <unitraxx> oh damn, then I'll need to jump on 13.10 first :p
[12:22] <anonee> hi all, about Ubuntu One, is it normal that I unselected all the folders to sync during setup, but it still syncing all the hidden directories under /home/me ?
[12:23] <bgardner> papret: For your first question. you can count blanks with COUNTBLANK(), then count all and use the difference between the two to get the non-empty count.
[12:25] <papret> bgardner: thanks for the attention... what if a cell contains only color? how to count cells of a particular color, say "yellow"?
[12:25] <bgardner> papret: Checking on that one now, one moment.
[12:25] <prashant_123456> ikonia, so the solution
[12:26] <ikonia> prashant_123456: a good question, first thing I'd do is check your hostname has a valid entry in the host file, make sure your server is defined in the smb.conf
[12:26] <papret> bgardner: nice of you... i am here....
[12:27] <prashant_123456> can u check the smb.conf file ?
[12:27] <prashant_123456> ikonia,
[12:28] <anonee> hi all, about Ubuntu One, is it normal that I unselected all the folders to sync during setup, but it still syncing all the hidden directories under /home/me ?
[12:28] <ikonia> prashant_123456: look at the wins support option, the name resolve order,
[12:28] <ikonia> prashant_123456: this is assuming it is netbios resolution thats the problem, but I'm not sure of it to be honest
[12:30] <prashant_123456> something on the website says  use security = domain and workgroup = WORKGROUP ikonia
[12:30] <ikonia> prashant_123456: you're not using domain authentication ?
[12:30] <ikonia> prashant_123456: that won't stop shares being displayed or not
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> anonee  about 60 people in #ubuntuone
[12:31] <prashant_123456> ikonia, ok the solution is netbios
[12:31] <ikonia> prashant_123456: are you sure ?
[12:31] <anonee> MonkeyDust thank you I didn't even know that such a room exist, I didn't see it on their website.
[12:32] <prashant_123456> nope ikonia i am asking you sir
[12:32] <ikonia> prashant_123456: well, that's my guess at this moment, but I'm not %100 certain
[12:32] <ikonia> prashant_123456: you could try mounting one of the shares from your linux host, see if it works ok (it should) or if it gives any help in the error logs
[12:33] <prashant_123456> ikonia, ok so now i have to mount the shares right but how to please tell me the process please ikonia
[12:34] <ikonia> prashant_123456: it's just the standard mount command, but with -t cifs or smbfs (depending on version)
[12:34] <ikonia> prashant_123456: eg: mount -t cifs //servername/share /mnt
[12:34] <cyberwave> I had a boyfriend named ubuntu once.  He would "play the bongos" on my ass.
[12:36] <bgardner> papret: Looks like there is no native way to count cells by color or style in Libreoffice.  If this is a must-have solution, you'll need to build some custom functions to get at the cell style.  See this old, but still relevant discussion: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2762
[12:37] <prashant_123456> no help ikonia
[12:37] <ikonia> prashant_123456: what happened ?
[12:38] <prashant_123456> ikonia, wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //<IP_ADDRESS>/ ikonia
[12:38] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok - so that is a BIG help
[12:38] <ikonia> prashant_123456: try with the fiel system smbfs
[12:38] <prashant_123456> ikonia, ok
[12:39] <prashant_123456> ikonia, unknown filesystem smbfs
[12:39] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, so install the cifs module
[12:39] <papret> bgardner: ok, thank you :)
[12:39] <prashant_123456> ikonia, sudo apt-get install cifs ??
[12:40] <ikonia> prashant_123456: you'll have to find the right package name
[12:40] <Quest> what kind of mouse pen is recommended? whats can be the price range? any company that would be nice? I use linux. any driver issues?
[12:41] <prashant_123456> ikonia, how to do that
[12:41] <ikonia> prashant_123456: have you got any experience in using ubuntu ?
[12:41] <prashant_123456> ikonia, cifs-utils
[12:41] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes i have some
[12:42] <ikonia> prashant_123456: try that pacakage, I've not got an ubuntu machine here to check
[12:42] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, so searching for packages should be a basic function
[12:42] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes
[12:42] <prashant_123456> ikonia, wait
[12:43] <benedikt> seems like ubuntu has started saving my ssh passphrase to disk rather than using ssh-agent. How do I change this behaviour?
[12:44] <ikonia> benedikt: why do you think it's saved to disk ?
[12:45] <benedikt> ikonia: i was only asked once, and it doesnt forget the passphrase when the X session dies.
[12:45] <ikonia> benedikt: if you reboot does it ask you again ?
[12:45] <benedikt> ikonia: nope
[12:45] <ikonia> benedikt: is it saved in gnome-keyring ?
[12:45] <ikonia> as that's not disk
[12:46] <benedikt> ikonia: if it survives a reboot, then it is on disk.
[12:46] <ikonia> benedikt: not how you are describing
[12:46] <ikonia> benedikt: is it in gnome-keyring ?
[12:46] <benedikt> ikonia: i'm using xfce, so it is in whatever keyring proram it employs
[12:46] <ikonia> I think that still uses gnome-keyring
[12:47] <ikonia> benedikt: it asks you to "save" this key into the keyring or not it's possible you missed it/checked it
[12:47] <benedikt> but I do challenge you to keep something in memory between reboots :)
[12:47] <ikonia> benedikt: if it's in the keyring it should be easy to remove
[12:47] <ikonia> benedikt: I didn't say it was in memory
[12:47] <bgardner> benedikt: Check ~/.gnome2/keyrings for the file login.keyring.  Move that and it should 'forget' your password.
[12:47] <prashant_123456> ikonia, after installing cifs-utils it asks for password but no luck still
[12:48] <benedikt> i want it to be in the keyring as I only want to type it once per X session, but I don't want it to surivive reboots. Memory, not disk.
[12:48] <ikonia> prashant_123456: look, you need to help me to help you - you can't just say "no luck" you need to give me information of what's happening
[12:48] <prashant_123456> ikonia, sorry for that
[12:48] <benedikt> bgardner: that's very bad advice for someone that is not techincally capable of understanding it, yet wants to remove the passphrase from disk.
[12:48] <ikonia> benedikt: it normally asks "this session" or "perminantly" or words to that effect
[12:48] <Mattix> Hello
[12:48] <benedikt> ikonia: ah, thats probably what I missed
[12:48] <Mattix> is there any way to use the iPhone 5 from Ubuntu?
[12:49] <prashant_123456> ikonia, could not resolve address
[12:49] <Xotix> hi
[12:49] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, could not resolve address......so that's telling us it's not able to see the server using that address
[12:49] <ikonia> prashant_123456: what command exactly did youd o
[12:49] <ikonia> do
[12:49] <benedikt> ikonia: should i make it forget the key via some GUI or just remove the keyring file like bgardner suggested?
[12:49] <ikonia> Mattix: iphone/linux - moving target, I wouldn't bother
[12:50] <ikonia> benedikt: I'd try the gui, but I can't remember the gui's launch command
[12:50] <ikonia> is it gnome-keyring ?
[12:50] <benedikt> ikonia: google probably knows it
[12:50] <Xotix> Need to set permissions using chmod +a but it seems that it isn't available for me. Using ubuntu on virtual box. how can i install it?
[12:50] <x0077BE> Hey guys, do you know what it means when traceroute just gives a bunch of stars?
[12:50] <x0077BE> Like ****?
[12:50] <prashant_123456> ikonia, sudo mount -t cifs //a-desktop/ /mnt
[12:50] <x0077BE> I'm trying to set up a VPN and I can't tell if I'm getting blocked because of ports or what.
[12:50] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i tried ip address instead
[12:50] <ikonia> x0077BE: it means the router is not broadbasting the address
[12:50] <Mattix> ikonia, what do you mean?
[12:50] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, what happens when you try the IP
[12:51] <ikonia> x0077BE: traceroute doesn't test ports, so that's not going to help
[12:51] <Xotix> pascal
[12:51] <Mattix> you mean none here has/use an iPhone? :P
[12:51] <x0077BE> ikonia: I can specify a port.
[12:51] <x0077BE> traceroute ip -p 443 or whatever.
[12:51] <ikonia> x0077BE: not with traceroute
[12:51] <ikonia> x0077BE: shouldn't be using that for a test
[12:51] <prashant_123456> ikonia, retrying with upper case share name, mount error (6) no such device or address
[12:51] <x0077BE> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/traceroute-nanog.genuine.8.html
[12:52] <x0077BE> ikonia: 4th option.
[12:52] <ikonia> prashant_123456: please answer the question - what happens with you use the IP
[12:52] <x0077BE> What would you suggest anyway?
[12:52] <ikonia> x0077BE: I'm aware of the -p option, but it's not a test
[12:52] <ikonia> x0077BE: its used for UDP - not tcp
[12:52] <prashant_123456> ikonia when i try ip address :- retrying with upper case share name, mount error (6) no such device or address
[12:53] <robb4n> Hi, Im trying to make a Windows 7 USB from a .iso in latest Ubuntu. But when It tries to install GRUB bootloader it fails, I have tried dd, unetbootin, winusb and stil failing.. And I have a fresh install of latest ubuntu, anyone knows how to solve this?
[12:53] <benedikt> Mattix: the iphone is a propiatary and closed platform. I don't think many free software enthusiasts will use it :)
[12:53] <ikonia> prashant_123456: is that the right IP address ?
[12:53] <Mattix> alllright. second day of use, I'm selling it -.-
[12:53] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes i am checking the server ip address is <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:54] <x0077BE> ikonia: What is the proper diagnostic tool for testing port connectivity?
[12:54] <k1l> robb4n: do you want a ubuntu-usb or a windows-usb?
[12:54] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i can ping
[12:54] <ikonia> x0077BE there are many ways, a simple direct test is to telnet t the port on the remote server
[12:54] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, are you running a firewall ?
[12:54] <x0077BE> K
[12:54] <benedikt> Mattix: i'm not hating, just explaining why you might find a lack of support and interest for your phone in the Linux world
[12:54] <robb4n> k1l: I want a windows-usb
[12:54] <prashant_123456> i can ssh to server and not using firewall ikonia
[12:55] <ikonia> prashant_123456: are you %100 sure you don't have a firewall runing ?
[12:55] <ikonia> running
[12:55] <k1l> robb4n: then see the windows support how to do that.
[12:55] <Rocketeer> robb4n have you tried the "Startup Disk Creator" built into Ubuntu?
[12:55] <Xotix> how can i chmod +a get working on ubuntu or how can i "translate" it into something ubuntu understands?
[12:55] <ikonia> Xotix: that's the wrong syntax
[12:55] <k1l> Rocketeer: that doesnt work for windows.
[12:56] <robb4n> k1l: I have done this before, many times from Linux... but I havent seen this problem before, and with all the other tools.. something is wierd :/
[12:56] <robb4n> Rocketeer: same problem there :/
[12:56] <robb4n> and i have tried like 4 diffrent USB sticks aswell
[12:56] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i have installed firewall but not using it and it id disabled
[12:56] <ikonia> prashant_123456: how are you checking that ?
[12:57] <k1l> !away > stux|away|away
[12:57] <prashant_123456> ikonia, i have gui firewall and it says it is disabled
[12:57] <ikonia> prashant_123456: which gui ?
[12:57] <prashant_123456> gufw firewal ikonia
[12:58] <ikonia> prashant_123456: is there an entry in your host file for your server ip ?
[12:58] <prashant_123456> how to check ikonia
[12:58] <Xotix> ikonia my book tells me I should do sudo chmod +a "www-data allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" cache logs but i get invalid +a mode. It's a mac thing somehow and I don't know how i can achieve the same on ubuntu.
[12:59] <robb4n> k1l: Why would I even see windows support how to do this? when it seems it doesnt have anything to do with windows, since its stil fails on any linux.iso dist I have tried to make
[12:59] <ikonia> prashant_123456: look in /etc/hosts - it's the first thing I asked you to check
[12:59] <ikonia> Koma: your book is wrong
[12:59] <ikonia> Xotix: your book is wrong
[12:59] <robb4n> k1l: A fresh install of Ubuntu, and it fails to make a bootable USB
[12:59] <prashant_123456> ikonia, no entry in hosts
[12:59] <ikonia> prashant_123456: ok, make one
[13:00] <Xotix> ikonia so can you correct it? mac has +a http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/chmod.1.html
[13:00] <k1l> robb4n: its a different task to make a linux-usb-system than a windows-usb-system
[13:00] <columb> I'm about to buy SSD. What kind of system optimisation  I could make to get better performance &  SSD lifetime?
[13:00] <ikonia> Xotix: why are you reading apple docs ?
[13:00] <ikonia> Xotix: you are you using mac OSX ?
[13:00] <robb4n> k1l: Yeah ofc, but now it stil fails on making a mageia, ubuntu usb bootable aswell
[13:01] <k1l> columb: use the discard function is fstab and use ext4. no swap needed if you have enough ram and dont want to use suspend
[13:01] <prashant_123456> ikonia, yes made it
[13:01] <Xotix> ikonia was googling for ubuntu and now i know it's a mac thing, i read it to know what it does to get an idea how to do it in ubuntu but I still don't know. host win7 guest ubuntu
[13:01] <ikonia> Xotix: why are you just not reading the ubuntu docs ?
[13:01] <ikonia> Xotix: why read mac docs to learn how to do something in ubuntu, makes no sense
[13:01] <columb> k1l, but what if I do want to use suspend? Swap is still needed?
[13:04] <Xotix> ikonia manpage of chmod doesn't list +a: of course it doesn't make sense, but since +a is a mac thing and the book refers to it I wanted to know what it does. So I'm looking for the equivalent thing for it in ubuntu.
[13:04] <Koma> ikonia:  never written a book but if I will I'll send you a copy
[13:04] <k1l> columb: in case of swap to disk, yes
[13:04] <ikonia> Xotix: what do you want to actually do
[13:04] <ikonia> Koma: thanks
