[00:00] <Phosie> Hi guys, hoping you could help me. I'm wanting to do some SPICE simulation, but using input from a text file (rather than GUI of LTSpice + wine) but I cannot seem to find software that could do that. Any advice?
[00:00] <onlty> i am not able to switch to discrete card
[00:00] <onlty> even vgaswitcheroo mising
[00:00] <Phosie> I tried to simply install "spice" but it has no installation candidate
[00:00] <pvl1> onlty: set the xorg.conf, kill x and try to xinit
[00:01] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823439/
[00:01] <demophobia> thanks
[00:02] <demophobia> erm, seems http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/10/17/howto-suspend-ubuntu-from-terminal-or-keyboard-shortcuts/ is incorrect, that suspend-comp is not a command recognized by ubuntu 12.04
[00:02] <hitsujiTMO> ejuan: have a look at the answers here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/14296/cgminer-opencl-detection-overrided-autogen-error
[00:02]  * demophobia reads http://askubuntu.com/questions/1792/how-can-i-suspend-hibernate-from-command-line
[00:04] <demophobia> I found pm-suspend; it appears suspending a computer is not such a simple task ...?...
[00:05] <demophobia> ubuntu 12.04 doesn't use gnome, right?
[00:06] <hitsujiTMO> demophobia: ubuntu is built on top of gnome
[00:07] <pvl1> onlty yt
[00:08] <onlty> pvl1, i tried, and xrandr lists only intel
[00:08] <Maytag> Heeelp http://i.imgur.com/0QlNqVz.jpg
[00:09] <smartcion> ubuntu is no longer built on top of gnome. that was several years ago. it's now unity/wayland
[00:09] <demophobia> thanks hitsujiTMO -- why am i mistaken in thinking that unity replaced gnome?
[00:09] <ejuan> hitsujiTMO, got it to configure properly with ./configure --enable-opencl --enable-scrypt
[00:09] <demophobia> oh, smartcion so i am correct?
[00:09] <hitsujiTMO> !yay | ejuan
[00:09] <demophobia> that unity has replaced gnome?
[00:09] <ejuan> also did sudo apt-get install opencl-headers
[00:09] <Maytag> Installing 12.04 seemed to finish, asked for a reboot, now it will only load to that. I can get to root but cannot connect to my network
[00:09] <ejuan> not sure if it was needed
[00:09] <Maytag> Tried installing 13.04 but the boot disk only goes to that screen too
[00:09] <hitsujiTMO> demophobia: sorry unity is built on top of gnome
[00:10] <onlty> pvl1, i tried and not working
[00:10] <k1l> demophobia: unity is the new standard desktop since gnome stopped gnome2. they now go with gnome3
[00:10] <ejuan> awe frig ya it compiled
[00:11] <raspberry_squirt> Maytag: have you tried any other dirtibutions?
[00:11] <AndroidLoverInSF> i have avidemux 2.5.6 but it doesnt have the option to encode to x264. i had the newer version that had x264 as an option, but it always hanged at the beginning of the render.  why cant avidemux 2.5.6 use my x264 codec?
[00:11] <k1l> Maytag: does the bios work properly?
[00:11] <Maytag> Just 12.04 and 13.04
[00:11] <AndroidLoverInSF> it only has x263 as an option
[00:11] <ejuan> thanks hitsujiTMO
[00:11] <Maytag> Dell Inspiron 1501 so it's an older laptop. Sorta older
[00:11] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: is that the one with the x1300?
[00:11] <demophobia> erm, okay, thank you.
[00:11] <Maytag> Unsure what x1300 is
[00:12] <demophobia> I am scared to try http://askubuntu.com/a/131022 because I don't understand the command and don't want to break something.
[00:12] <pvl1> onlty error messages or what
[00:12] <hitsujiTMO> mayday: radeon gpu
[00:12] <demophobia> Is http://askubuntu.com/a/131022 the best way to assign a keyboard shortcut to suspend in ubuntu 12.04?
[00:12] <Maytag> I believe it is a radeon gpu
[00:12] <hitsujiTMO> mayday: how far into the boot does that happen?
[00:13] <onlty> pvl1, xrandr not enabled on radeon card
[00:13] <Maytag> I get to choose boot mode (recovery, or memory test, etc) and then it hits that
[00:13] <demophobia> i'm looking at man dbus-send now
[00:13] <Maytag> Tried installing 13.04 and it immediately hits that screen

[00:13] <hitsujiTMO> mayday: try editing the grub entry and remove the quiet and splash from the linux command
[00:13] <DrGrov> Hello everyone
[00:14] <demophobia> Is \ in http://askubuntu.com/a/131022 used to split one command across multiple lines? ...
[00:14] <DrGrov> Is there any full feathered info package on 14.04 LTS out there somewhere?
[00:14] <Maytag> Sorry I don't know how to edit a grub entry, I'm pretty new to this
[00:14] <demophobia> would http://askubuntu.com/a/131022 work for unity? ...
[00:15] <pvl1> onlty enable randr in xirg.conf
[00:15] <k1l> Maytag: read the bots message. it includes a howto
[00:15] <Maytag> Thanks I'll go give that a shot

[00:18] <pvl1> !xrandr
[00:18] <glitsj16> demophobia: if you're refering to the dbus method from that link, yes the \ is used exactly for that purpose, might be easier to put it all on one line for using it as a shortcut command
[00:19] <Beldar> DrGrov, You might ask in #ubuntu+1 the development channel
[00:20] <DrGrov> Beldar: Thank you, will head on over there for those questions :)
[00:21] <loki_> hmm.  this is strange.  when I send a test message using "echo test | mail -v -s "testing ssmtp setup"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>the display name is what I would like it to be, however when the nagios alert comes it doesn't use that display name.  you guys have any thoughts?
[00:21] <shadow431> looking for help with mdadm on 13.10, I want to create a 6 disk raid 10 but it doesn't seem to do more the 4
[00:23] <knightshade> hi
[00:24] <gukgk> I run multiple computers, all with 12.04 LTS....they ALL have system crashes although the systems all run without any bad 'symptoms' or other loss of usefulness. I just realized however that an unupdated fresh install doesn't have the system crashes. Does anyone know what update might be causing the system crashes???
[00:24] <pvl1> onlty  xrandr reports what
[00:24] <pvl1> onlty and what does the log say
[00:25] <onlty> pvl1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823554/
[00:25] <hitsujiTMO> shadow431: why not create a raid 0+1 ?
[00:25] <noideas> How to i enable my second NIC?
[00:25] <Maytag> nomodeset didn't work, same screen
[00:26] <loki_> hitsujiTMO: can you help me out with this nagios/ssmtp issue?  it's not a huge deal, really, but I would like to get it figured out.
[00:26] <Maytag> There was one parameter after quiet splash, $vthandoff, I put nomodeset after that, is that correct?
[00:27] <hitsujiTMO> loki_: i know nothing of either i'm afraid
[00:27] <loki_> hitsujiTMO: darn.  no worries :D
[00:27] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: thats ok
[00:28] <Maytag> Dang. Same messy screen
[00:28] <hitsujiTMO> mayday: try instead to remove quiet and splash                 that may give you a more verbose description of whats going wrong
[00:29] <kseifried> I assume for Ubuntu server 12.04 LTS if glusterfs is at major version 3.2 it will never be bumped to version 3.4?
[00:29] <Maytag> Leave nomodeset?
[00:29] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: ^
[00:29] <hitsujiTMO> mayday: remove nomodeset too. well it wont be there
[00:29] <Maytag> k
[00:29] <Maytag> and $vt handoff?
[00:29] <noideas> nevermind i had a typo
[00:30] <hitsujiTMO> kseifried: no, it will not be updated
[00:30] <hitsujiTMO> !latest | kseifried this should explain why
[00:31] <kseifried> hitsujiTMO, so will they be back porting security fixes/etc? also since it's not compatible with GLusterFS 3.4 is there like a collection of up to date packages that can be added in optionally?
[00:31] <hitsujiTMO> kseifried: maybe in the future. atm glusterfs is on 3.2 even on 13.10
[00:31] <kseifried> hitsujiTMO, gluster only commits to compatibility of N-1, so right now 3.2/3.4 don't play nice with each other :P
[00:32] <kseifried> hitsujiTMO, : oh heck. that's a problem :p
[00:32] <kseifried> grrr.
[00:32] <hitsujiTMO> kseifried: its 3.4 in trusty tho
[00:33] <thom_r> Just as a reminder. Ubuntu 13.04 support officially ends today.
[00:34] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: sorry, keep $tv_handoff
[00:34] <loki_> thom_r: wow, that was fast :D
[00:34] <Maytag> Ahhhhhh
[00:34] <Maytag> Haha
[00:34] <Maytag> http://i.imgur.com/7o21f6M.jpg
[00:34] <Maytag> All that, ending with $vt_handoff but no quiet splash
[00:34] <Maytag> ?
[00:34] <thom_r> *is confused
[00:35] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: yup
[00:35] <Maytag> And vt needs the underscore
[00:35] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: yup
[00:35] <Maytag> Haha thanks, will try again
[00:37] <pvl1> onlty: can u try blacklisting the intel driver
[00:37] <pvl1> u can find it in lsmod
[00:37] <pvl1> onlty: but, i would still dig in the bios as well
[00:37] <Maytag> No dice, immediately went to same screen
[00:38] <onlty> pvl1: too bad my bios doesnt have many options D:
[00:38] <kseifried> hitsujiTMO, anyways thanks
[00:38] <hitsujiTMO> Maytag: dang. out of ideas right now
[00:39] <utusan> Maytag: late here, what exactly is your issue here
[00:39] <Maytag> Sure
[00:39] <Maytag> http://i.imgur.com/0QlNqVz.jpg
[00:39] <Maytag> That, after a seemingly successful 12.04 install, it asked for a restart, I can choose my...kernel? then it goes to that
[00:39] <loki_> I may have tracked down the issue.  maybe.  going to have to force another alert to see.
[00:39] <pvl1> onlty: is kms enabled or disabled
[00:40] <onlty> KMS modesetting enabled.
[00:40] <Maytag> Tried to load a 13.04 install disk but it wouldn't, went right to that screen
[00:40] <Maytag> Tried nomodeset, still goes to that screen
[00:40] <utusan> what is your card?
[00:40] <pvl1> Maytag: can you go back to grub, and hit e to edit, and remove splash
[00:40] <Maytag> I can load to root, cannot connect to my network
[00:41] <Maytag> I did remove quiet splash
[00:41] <Maytag> I believe it's a radeon card, but Windows is wiped at this point. Dell Inspiron 1501
[00:41] <pvl1> at what point does that happen
[00:41] <Maytag> Right after grub
[00:41] <Maytag> If grub means where I can choose normal or recovery mode or memory test
[00:42] <Maytag> Or it goes right there after the bios screen when trying to load the 13.04 disk
[00:42] <utusan> this could be silly, but when you edit the vmlinuz line and just leave nomodeset param, then control+x to boot?
[00:43] <Maytag> http://i.imgur.com/7o21f6M.jpg I did that but with $vt_handoff, and nomodeset
[00:43] <Maytag> No messages
[00:45] <AndroidLoverInSF> avidemux is buggy as heck, on ubuntu and even windows
[00:45] <Maytag> I was getting atmi in Windows Event Viewer, so who knows what's going on with the video card, but it got through the 12.04 install and asked for a reboot
[00:46] <AndroidLoverInSF> is there a stable version besides 2.6.7 or 2.5.6. something in between?
[00:46] <glitsj16> loki_: have you tested by adding a "From: ... " header to the mail command yet?
[00:47] <noideas> Would anyone happen to know why my wireless router would identify 2 NIC with the same MAC address if they are not? (Ubuntu Server 12.04)
[00:49] <loki_> glitsj16: it's working now.  the issue was that I didn't do this : chfn -f 'root at myhost' root for the nagios user.  once I did it and set the display name to what I wanted it to be everything worked fine.
[00:49] <loki_> glitsj16: I have OCD like that sometimes :D
[00:50] <glitsj16> loki_: okay :à
[00:50] <loki_> glitsj16: thanks for the follow up though :D
[00:55] <Maytag> irc://freenode/utusan,isnick Do you mean delete a whole bunch of that line?
[00:55] <Maytag> Man how do I drop down one of your user names
[00:55] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: is there a virtual machine involved there at all?
[00:56] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: no
[00:56] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: Actually i think it is the router.... everything is being recognized correctly on ubuntu
[00:57] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: i presume both nics are on the one device or are they on seperate devices?
[00:57] <hitsujiTMO> !tab | Maytag
[00:58] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: Same motherboard. I finally decided to configure the second...but my router show the same hardware address :(

[00:58] <uronu> hello guys, do you have an idea on active replicating HD in ubuntu
[00:58] <uronu> ?
[00:58] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: can you pastebin the output of: ifconfig
[00:59] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: and: iproute             and: arp                      the arp one may take a bit before it completes
[01:00] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/zZ5gUmpr
[01:02] <Maytag> Okay I have to blow up some stuff on GTA:O thanks for the tries tonight, I may be back!
[01:02] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: no need to hide the private ips. anyone knowing isn't going to be able to cause problems for you and actually makes it harder to diagnore the issue
[01:03] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: are both interfaces being supplied by dhcp?
[01:03] <noideas> One is static and plan to make the other static
[01:04] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/KBVE1cdR
[01:04] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: oh wait. they public ips.
[01:04] <noideas> no
[01:04] <noideas> private
[01:04] <hitsujiTMO> so you're using public adress ranges on a private network?
[01:05] <hitsujiTMO> 192.96 <- public range
[01:05] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: yes
[01:05] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: you should change that as that will cause problems for you
[01:06] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: should be 192.168.X.X
[01:06] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: I have been using this setup for a while, and i provide some simple service that seem to work well.
[01:06] <AndreeeCZ> hello. How do i set up ubuntu to run jack in realtime? I have modified the /etc/security/limits.conf, added realtime lines
[01:07] <AndreeeCZ> added myself to realtime group
[01:07] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: yes, for the most part it will work. its just if you ever try to connect to an external network that uses 192.96.X.X then you wont be able to make the connection
[01:07] <AndreeeCZ> jack still says operation not permitted
[01:07] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: can you also pastebin the output of: ip route
[01:08] <OerHeks> noideas, sounds like you have a prof dsl with 8 IP adresses :-D
[01:08] <OerHeks> or 16
[01:08] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/yb1vNvQg
[01:10] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: ok. and which network is static and which is dynamically assigned?
[01:10] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: <IP_ADDRESS> <--static
[01:11] <noideas> what to make <IP_ADDRESS> static but router not seeing the mac correctly
[01:12] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: and you set a default gateway on that right?
[01:12] <noideas> OerHeks: just curious, what do you mean by prof dsl?
[01:12] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: yes
[01:12] <groovestix> hey folks. I managed to set up vncserver, and I can properly connect to it with VNC Viewer. I notice though that I am not seeing the same screen as Ubuntu, so I am wondering if there's a way to change that?
[01:13] <OerHeks> noideas, business internet
[01:13] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: which would suggest that right now you have 2 interfaces assigned with a default gateway (to the same default gateway tho) as eth1 would be assigned a default gateway via dhcp
[01:13] <noideas> OerHeks: Actually it is not. :/
[01:14] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: So having the router act as a DHCP is not working
[01:14] <hd> why does this gives result 1? It should be 2. echo "zz" | grep -c "z"
[01:15] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: its having 2 default gateways could be the problem, as well as having 2 nics on the same lan segment
[01:16] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: try statically assigning eth1 with no gateway and see if the issue persists. it could also be cause by requests to eth1 being answered by eth0 as its on the same network as was originally assigned as the gateway interface
[01:16] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: that does make sence. I have another machine connected to the same router and that is identified correctly. The only that is the same on my ubuntu server is the name of the system
[01:17] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: oh i get it
[01:17] <advx> Hi all Good Morning
[01:17] <whoever> hi all, need some help, using rhythmbox 3, equalizer is avalible in pugins but how do i get it to show up so that i can chage values
[01:17] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: what do you want 2 interfaces on the same segment?
[01:18] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: are you testing some sort of binding or something?
[01:18] <hitsujiTMO> derp enough with the nick spam please
[01:18] <hd> :q
[01:19] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: well i would like them to work independently. I was going to use one for a web server and the other for internal file server
[01:21] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: ahh kk.
[01:21] <skinux> I've got menus back now. Thanks to whoever sent me link to classicmenu indicator
[01:22] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: i'd certain reserve the "non gateway" for the fileserver at least
[01:22] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: hmm... address changed on Ubuntu but now i can not see it on the router
[01:23] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: its not interacting with the router, which is a good thing.
[01:24] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: oh i see what you did there..i didn't know i could do that
[01:24] <whoever> found it, it took a couple restarts of rhythmbox for it to show up, compont menu item, is now tools
[01:25] <hitsujiTMO> noideas: the router will only pick up NICs that have interacted with it. it may show up after some broadcasts when you get your services set up
[01:25] <Bray90820> So every time i start ubuntu i get an error with "/sbin/plymouthd"
[01:26] <tiblock> Hi. I try to manage partitions true gparted so i booted from LiveCD ubuntu 12 and he using mine swap partition and i cant delete it. How i can boot without swap?
[01:27] <noideas> hitsujiTMO: hmm...yes i currently have them broadcast on the static route. But it seems like a may be easier to switch some to the new ip address. Cool. Thanks for the help. Still confused about the router not reading the hardware address correctly, but this will work
[01:28] <fabio123> if are u using ubuntu on a intel hd laptop get rid of sna
[01:30] <tiblock> Oh, solved.
[01:31] <Bray90820> Can someone tell me where i can access the archives of this chat
[01:31] <hitsujiTMO> Bray90820: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[01:35] <AndroidLoverInSF> any ideas or blog posts on how to use ffmpeg to both split/cut/merge videos? it seems easy to cut, but i need a way to easily clip out and combine parts of a video, an easy workflow. from what i read.
[01:37] <Minnen> http://askubuntu.com/q/411068/110936
[01:38] <Minnen> oops wrong chan
[01:41] <Roland-> on my server, ubuntu boots with some kind of gui or frame buffer device because the resolution is at max can I disable that ?
[01:42] <whoever> Roland-: so you want to boot tty not gui ?
[01:42] <Bray90820> hitsujiTMO: thanks
[01:53] <Bray90820> So every time i start ubuntu i get an error with "/sbin/plymouthd"
[01:55] <Roland-> whoever sorry for late delay
[01:56] <Roland-> yes boot some text , this gui doesn't work anyway
[01:56] <Roland-> but I have no gui at all
[01:56] <Roland-> so it's a kind of boot animation ?
[01:58] <MK`> Where is invoke-rc.d supposed to be located?
[02:02] <Bray90820> Is there any way i can get a bash script to run on mouse click
[02:09] <MK`> ok I need some help; I'm trying to fix a broken package (grub-common) but when I do I get this slew of errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6823931/
[02:15] <silvea12> maybe try removing avahi-daemon first? I don't know if this is a good idea, or if you will bork your system though...
[02:15] <dominiquenf> good evening everyone
[02:15] <silvea12> night dominiquenf
[02:16] <dominiquenf> can anyone help me with a scprit? I'm trying to fix some issues on my touchpad and I want to run the script while the computer starts, but somehow it's not working properly
[02:16] <dominiquenf> it didn't change the values on my synclient after starting
[02:17] <MK`> silvea12: nvm I managed to fix it. Somehow initrc.d vanished, but I was able to copy the distribution version back to /usr/sbin
[02:17] <silvea12> ok then. Good job!
[02:17] <silvea12> oh wait, it was evening, not night. :P
[02:17] <MK`> first time I've used sudo cp in my life I think.
[02:17] <silvea12> heh
[02:18] <silvea12> I use sudo all the time. I try not to, but I can't avoid it. The amount I mess with my system is nuts... (I don't use it for things that aren't needed though)
[02:18] <MK`> I'm pretty sure it was from a few months ago when I mistyped a command to fix something else
[02:18] <silvea12> sudo cp, mv, chmod, chown, dd, other stuff
[02:19] <silvea12> heh... That'll do it!
[02:26] <mojtaba> Hi, I have encrypted my ubuntu. Does anybody know how can I remove it?
[02:27] <somsip> mojtaba: did you encrypt the whole disk or just the user home?
[02:28] <mojtaba> somsip: The whole disk
[02:28] <somsip> mojtaba: not good news then http://askubuntu.com/questions/245112/can-i-disable-full-disk-encryption
[02:29] <mojtaba> somsip: The problem is that, my hard drive has some bad sectors and I want to replace it. and before that I want to make a disk backup with clone zilla. I am not sure if I can backup an encrypted disk and then restore it on the new one.
[02:30] <somsip> mojtaba: I know nothing about encryption except that there are plenty of people who come here with problems because of using it
[02:30] <mojtaba> somsip: You mean, it is not a good idea to use it?!
[02:31] <tiblock> Is that possible to do dist-upgrade and not killing system and do reinstall. It died on notebook while upgrade from 10 to 12. Then died with 13.04 to 13.10. Died on VMware from 12 to 13 different 4 systems. In VirtualBox died 3 times.  It was clean kubuntu just for look at KDE. Upgraded for fun and now its black screen. Anybody in universe succeed at upgrade any version
[02:31] <tiblock> of ubuntu?
[02:31] <dominiquenf> can anyone help? i'm trying to run a script on startup, I've googled it and it appears that i'm doing everything right
[02:32] <advx> bye for now...
 I think you need specify what script and where you start it?
[02:34] <dominiquenf> i've saved it to /etc/init.d, i've chmod 755 it and i've updated-rc.d
[02:34] <dominiquenf> am i missing something:
[02:34] <dominiquenf> am i missing something?
[02:34] <dominiquenf> i've also tried chmod +x
[02:35] <dominiquenf> the script runs ok, but it doesn't run when i start the OS
[02:37] <somsip> dominiquenf: put the script on paste.ubuntu.com
[02:38] <OerHeks> dominiquenf, change owner to root > sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/<scriptname>
[02:39] <OerHeks> dominiquenf, then set your script to load wint init.d > sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> defaults && sudo update-rc.d <scriptname> enable
[02:39] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/335242/how-to-install-an-init-d-script-in-ubuntu
[02:39] <dominiquenf> it's a very simple script.. it only changes synclient opptions
[02:39] <dominiquenf> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6824034/
[02:40] <fun> how I can switch the SSHd listening port to http 80?
[02:40] <somsip> fun: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[02:40] <fun> ty
[02:40] <silvea12> Why would you want to set it to port 80?
[02:40] <silvea12> just wondering
[02:40] <daftykins> yeah that's kinda... weird.
[02:41] <Guest61578> So, on my plugins for Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04, I see that I have Shockwave 12 something. What is the difference between Shockwave and Adobe Flashplayer?
[02:41] <somsip> dominiquenf: I was wondering if you had an ENV or bad path in there, but as long as synclient is in the path for root that should be ok
[02:41] <silvea12> I believe they are made by different companies, and do different things
[02:41] <silvea12> I think it was that anyway
[02:42] <silvea12> That may have not been much help...
[02:42] <fun> will both http and ssh work if they run on same port?
[02:42] <Guest61578> It has the same logo as Adobe Flash Player.
[02:42] <silvea12> nope
[02:42] <fun> ok
[02:43] <tiblock> Guys, where is located file that describes what partitions to mount? You need specify there IDs from "blkid". I dont remember name of file.
[02:43] <Osmodivs> Hello. How do I open the GUI "users and groups" from the Terminal?
[02:43] <somsip> !fstab | tiblock
[02:43] <tiblock> somsip, thank you very much
[02:44] <silvea12> Osmodivs: not sure if you can, but what do you want to do exactly? You can do all the operations just from terminal
[02:45] <tiblock> Osmodivs, i think you need google API for your DE. What DE you use?
[02:45] <fun> but how do I restart ssh when I loged via putty?
[02:45] <fun> :D
[02:45] <Osmodivs> silvea12, for some reason I can't do stuff as an administrator, like, connecto to a WiFi, or instal programs feom a GUI (Synaptic or the LSC) I remember I had the adm box checked, but I want to check, but can't acces via GUI
[02:45] <fun> as it cant do it?
[02:46] <Osmodivs> tiblock, DE?
[02:46] <somsip> fun: sudo service sshd restart. This will disconnect you
[02:46] <Osmodivs> I don't know what that means
[02:46] <silvea12> ok... I think you want to add yourself to the sudo group, or add yourself to the sudoers file...
[02:46] <tiblock> Osmodivs, desktop enviroment. Unity/KDE?
[02:46] <silvea12> Are you able to access an account that can run sudo?
[02:47] <fun> sudo service sshd restart sshd: unrecognized service
[02:47] <fun> yes
[02:47] <fun> sudo service ssh restart ssh stop/waiting ssh start/running, process 1759
[02:47] <dominiquenf> I did enable it with update-rc.d <...> enable, but the script still doesn`t starts with the computer
[02:47] <tiblock> Osmodivs, is that Ubuntu or Kubuntu or Xubuntu or ... ?
[02:47] <Osmodivs> tiblock, Sorry, I thought I was in the Lubuntu channel :P
[02:47] <Osmodivs> but, hey, silvea12 How do I know what are my groups?
[02:48] <silvea12> groups
[02:48] <silvea12> in terminal
[02:48] <silvea12> no sudo
[02:48] <Osmodivs> silvea12, osmodivs adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape sudo audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev sambashare
[02:49] <silvea12> You are in the sudo group... so it's not an access rights issue
[02:49] <Osmodivs> silvea12, You see, theres gotta be something else, a corrupt file perhaps?
[02:49] <Osmodivs> oh.
[02:49] <tiblock> Osmodivs, google says Lubuntu (LXDE) doesnt have GUI for that. Google "lxde users and groups" and chose your solution.
[02:50] <fun> I fcked it
[02:50] <fun> now it wont connect at all
[02:50] <fun> :d
[02:50] <fun> on new port 222
[02:50] <FloodBot1> fun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:50] <joshlegs> so im having several really frustrating issues after doing an aptitude update/safe-upgrade. none of my hotkeys/custom shortcuts work and when searching for programs, the icons dont show up. also wifi doesnt work. ive searched a bit online but cant find a solution. helps?
[02:50] <AlecTaylor> hi
[02:51] <silvea12> fun - if you can get physical access, try sudo iptables --flush
[02:51] <tiblock> Osmodivs, http://askubuntu.com/questions/156838/how-to-change-user-account-settings-with-lxde
[02:51] <Osmodivs> tiblock, Well, I already have gnome-system-tools. I just want to open it via Terminal, to see if I can fix some groups in my accpont
[02:51] <AlecTaylor> My computer is crashing with no warning (from logged-in and working to power off in ~1 second). How do I troubleshoot?
[02:52] <fun> I am using ec2 silvea12
[02:52] <fun> whole idea was to change default ssh port as they filter upload speeds on it
[02:52] <kcah> hello every one~
[02:52] <silvea12> yeah... well now ya borked it... :P
[02:52] <somsip> fun: then you have to recreate the instance from the snapshot you created, or from the AMI if you have no snapshot
[02:52] <Osmodivs> It is: sudo users-admin
[02:52] <silvea12> Useful thing to try for a failsafe next time: before you do, have a script on a timer in a screen to reset the settings
[02:53] <kcah> i have a noob questions here about ssh... can any one help me?
[02:53] <silvea12> if it works, kill the process
[02:53] <somsip> !ask | kcah
[02:53] <silvea12> if it doesn't, itll fix it
[02:53] <fun> somsip:  but why I just changed port
[02:53] <silvea12> but... too late for that now
[02:53] <fun> what have I done wrong?
[02:53] <somsip> fun: you did it wrong. Or you just haven't poked a hole to the new port in your securty group...
[02:53] <fun> somsip:  I did 100% what people said there
[02:53] <fun> changed port to 222 and open firewall
[02:54] <somsip> fun: don't whinge. Fix your security group
[02:54] <kcah> i have a jump server on my network... it does not have X server... can i still use the jump server to do a X session on other machines on that network?
[02:54] <joshlegs> my problem is similar to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2183110  but also my built-in volume buttons dont work
[02:54] <joshlegs> and i cant seem to reinstall from usb (goes right to desktop)
[02:54] <fun> somsip: its done
[02:54] <glitsj16> dominiquenf: a question .. being synclient commands, why not run them in an autostart .desktop file? or do you need them in the login screen?
[02:54] <fun> so what else can I try?
[02:54] <silvea12> AlecTaylor: Try booting a live CD, chroot into your HDD, and checking dmesg output
[02:54] <silvea12> check for kernal errors
[02:54] <somsip> fun: recreate the instance from your backup or from the AMI.
[02:54] <silvea12> and fix it from the live CD
[02:55] <fun> somsip: but then I simply do same mistake lol
[02:55] <fun> thats why its better I find a way to fix it now
[02:55] <Osmodivs> I am in the sudo group and still can't connect to a WiFi: (32) Not authorized to control networking.
[02:55] <somsip> fun: I can't help you any more.
[02:55] <dominiquenf> glitsj16, how i do that?
[02:55] <Beldar> joshlegs, Similar to is not a good start here, you want to be exact, and explain the usb reinstall in details.
[02:55] <fun> somsip: ok ty
[02:56] <glitsj16> dominiquenf: which option exactly?
[02:56] <dominiquenf> glitsj16, how do i do that?
[02:56] <silvea12> Osmodivs: try adding yourself to the netdev group
[02:56] <dominiquenf> the one you said about autostart.desktop
[02:56] <joshlegs> Beldar: none of my default hotkeys work (vlume up, down) and my custom shortcuts dont either (ctrl-alt-t for terminal, meta-up for maximize)
[02:56] <dominiquenf> glitsj16,  the one you said about autostart.desktop
[02:56] <endofcake> Hey, how do I open ports on Ubuntu?
[02:56] <fun> endofcake:  use aws
[02:57] <fun> they got nice firewall there
[02:57] <Osmodivs> silvea12, I am aalready in the netdev group
[02:57] <silvea12> oh right
[02:57] <fun> endofcake:  by default all ports are open
[02:57] <Osmodivs> silvea12, I tell you, must be a Linux virus
[02:57] <glitsj16> dominiquenf: okay, you use the "startup applications" app, once you're in there it will show a few fields where you enter name and location of the script
[02:57] <fun> u need to edit silly text file by hand
[02:57] <fun> or use aws
[02:57] <silvea12> Osmodivs: I don't know about that...
[02:57] <Beldar> joshlegs, Cool, to the channel I can't really help, I was just concerned you are not lost in here. State the usb relation top this if there is one.
[02:57] <Beldar> to*
[02:57] <somsip> fun: if you are going to stay in here and offer advice, please try to be helpful
[02:57] <Osmodivs> silvea12, Badware, then.
[02:58] <joshlegs> ok thanks Beldar. no the usb isnt related. i think im just having a crapton of problems right now :(
[02:58] <silvea12> Osmodivs: I think it may just be a wierd perms issue
[02:58] <endofcake> Thanks fun. I did nmap on my install, and it only shows a handful of open ports, which may be a cause of Couchbase not working properly.
[02:58] <Ziber> So, my computer forgot how to interact with my mouse. I can move it just fine, but can't click on anything. Any thoughts on why?
[02:58] <fun> somsip: I have him excellent advice that works 100%
[02:58] <fun> ;)
[02:58] <silvea12> Is this in a log, or when you run it?
[02:58] <silvea12> and what do you run?
[02:58] <Beldar> joshlegs, Cool just be careful to approach one at a time within reason is all. ;)
[02:58] <fun> endofcake: all rules as to which ports open or closed are in 1 file
[02:58] <fun> iptables
[02:58] <somsip> !joke | SunTsu
[02:58] <Ziber> In Chrome and terminal, so far. I can click to switch back and forth between these apps, but nothing within them.
[02:58] <fun> somsip: thats u
[02:58] <fun> gave me advice that does not work
[02:58] <fun> ;)
[02:59] <somsip> SunTsu: clearly not meant for you
[02:59] <endofcake> nmap localhost (or my IP)
[02:59] <fun> one sec endofcake
[02:59] <fun> some many geeks dont understand that not all humans are geeks
[02:59] <glitsj16> dominiquenf: i forgot you need to press the "add" button first, but you got that by now probably :)
[03:00] <fun> endofcake: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-using-ip-tables-on-ubuntu-12-04
[03:00] <fun> here
[03:00] <fun> see if it makes sense
[03:00] <somsip> fun: confirm to me again that you have allowed access to the new port in the security group that is associated with the instance you've just changed
[03:00] <fun> yes I did
[03:00] <fun> well ok I create new instance and see whats in sshd config
[03:01] <fun> I tried reboot same
[03:01] <endofcake> Ok, I don't exactly need I firewall, I just need to make sure that certain ports are open. Is there a way to check this?
[03:01] <somsip> fun: if you edit sshd_config correctly and have allowed access through the security group, there is no reason why it should not work. I do this on my AWS instances. So you have to accept the possibility of your error.
[03:01] <somsip> endofcake: for what service?
[03:02] <endofcake> I'm guessing nmap doesn't show me the whole story. i just want to eliminate ports as the source of my problem and move on
[03:02] <fun> :P
[03:02] <carrera> Greetings!  :)
[03:02] <fun> lol somsip u are some geek
[03:02] <fun> who cares whose error is it
[03:02] <fun> main thing it works lol
[03:02] <somsip> !ignore | fun
[03:02] <endofcake> For Couchbase. It needs ports 11211, 11210, 11209, 4369,8091, 8092 and from 21100 to 21299
[03:03] <carrera> can anyone tell me as of which version did Ubuntu changed the init process and WHY?
[03:03] <glitsj16> dominiquenf: if you want the synclient commands to be active in the login screen there's a way to do that too, isn't much work but i don't know if you want/need it there as well
[03:03] <somsip> endofcake: and what it preventing these from being accessed?
[03:04] <endofcake> I'm not sure anything is, I'm just trying to add another server to my cluster and it fails. So I need to eliminate networking issues as the source of this problem
[03:04] <rcw2> what do the three numbers at the end of this linerepresent in xinput --set-prop [device number] "Synaptics Finger" 50 80 257
[03:05] <Beldar> carrera, Are you aware this is support, and not actually tied to canonical and it's decisions on ubuntu?
[03:05] <fun> endofcake: simply edit text tile and add new ports
[03:05] <fun> type sudo iptables -L
[03:05] <fun> and see rules
[03:06] <somsip> endofcake: output of netstat -lnptu show anything helpful?
[03:06] <fun> u can set rules to default means all ports open by sudo iptables -F
[03:06] <fun> :)
[03:06] <pietro10> Hi. I have a late 2006 intel iMac; I have tried, and I am trying to at least get the LiveUSB to work. I got as far as setting up an installed system and attempting to boot it with rEFIt, but the EFI firmware threw a fit and wouldn't boot in legacy mode. I tried EFI boot ,but rEFInd wouldn't start. Now: is there a way I can boot the LiveCD image over the network with an ethernet cable? I have no way to burn discs at the present time. Thanks.
[03:06] <somsip> !upstart | carrera (may have some leads for you to follow up)
[03:06] <carrera> Beldar, kind of... thanks.  My question was purely technical
[03:06] <OerHeks> carrera, @ 9.10 >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[03:08] <carrera> somsip, OerHeks, thanks!  :)
[03:08] <endofcake> Ok, thanks, no rules in iptables, moving on.
[03:08] <somsip> endofcake: might it be limited by your host company in any way?

[03:18] <NictraSavios> Hello, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to find my network printer. The printer is configured correctly, and is on <IP_ADDRESS>, but Ubuntu does not find it.
[03:19] <eric> hi all
[03:20] <b0x> NictraSavios: can you ping it?
[03:22] <NictraSavios> b0x, Hmm, no ... but, this is weird. I ping 1.21, but get a response from 1.24.  "PING <IP_ADDRESS> (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data.
[03:22] <NictraSavios> From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable" and then "From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable"
[03:22] <b0x> whats .24
[03:22] <NictraSavios> <IP_ADDRESS> - And should be nothing. I'll nmap and see
[03:23] <b0x> if u cant ping the printer then its pretty obvious why ubuntu cant find ur printer though ;)
[03:23] <iFlip> NictraSavios: 1.24 should be you
[03:23] <NictraSavios> iFlip, Ahh, really? Thank you.
[03:24] <b0x> you running a firewall
[03:24] <b0x> or something
[03:24] <iFlip> NictraSavios: sarcasm ... :)

[03:28] <Guest69148> I don't have that machine hooked up right now.
[03:28] <fun> is that the line to change ssh port?
[03:28] <NictraSavios> fun, SSH

[03:30] <fun> ok I got it
[03:31] <Guest69148> o.k. I'll do that later. I just was looking online for help. I don't have that desktop hooked to a monitor and internet right now. I'll get back with you guys with that.

[03:35] <zcat[1]> using ubuntu studio. Every time I boot all the sounds devices come up in order. Only solution I've found so fat that works is just keep rebooting and rebooting until I fluke them the right way around for how all the software is set up. Or reconfigure everything for the new random order every time I reboot.
[03:35] <zcat[1]> *far
[03:37] <zcat[1]> I did try to follow a howto about udev, but it doesn't seem to be that. I also found a howto for alsa. It seems that ubuntu allows for devices to be randomly reassinged at every possible layer of abstraction.
[03:37] <zcat[1]> I'm fast coming to the conclusion that someone in the development chain is just doing this to fuck with everyone
[03:37] <somsip> !language | zcat[1]
[03:38] <zcat[1]> I'm frustrated.
[03:38] <zcat[1]> I've been using linux since 1997, and this is about as close as I've ever got to just giving up and switching to Windows
[03:38] <zcat[1]> and nobody seems the least bit ineterestif in helping
[03:39] <Noskcaj> !patience
[03:39] <zcat[1]> yeah, nobody knows
[03:39] <Noskcaj> perhaps try asking on askubuntu or #ubuntustudio
[03:40] <zcat[1]> no answers ther etieher
[03:41] <Noskcaj> remember this is the time most people are asleep, so maybe try again later?
[03:41] <Beldar> zcat[1], I think we all understand frustration, but this is a no swearing channel please.
[03:41] <zcat[1]> it doesn't really matter when I ask, I've been trying to figure this out for months now
[03:41] <zcat[1]> I've mssed ub ubuntu studio and just reinstalled three times so far
[03:42] <zcat[1]> next time I just give up and switch to windows
[03:42] <zcat[1]> and I will write a very long blog about how utterly Linux is failing
[03:42] <zcat[1]> from the perspective of someone who's used linux their entire life and finally been driven to use Windows
[03:43] <zcat[1]> I really don't want to do that
[03:43] <whoever> trying to set a keyboard shortcut , under keyboard , and the command is /usr/bin/top . and when i hit the shortcutkey i set top is not executing , but top will execute if i type it in term
[03:43] <daftykins> zcat[1]: surely there's SOMEONE out there that uses it for the same things as you do
[03:43] <zcat[1]> apparently nobody else in the entire world uses ubuntu studio with more than one sound device
[03:43] <zcat[1]> or they all just reconfigure it every time the reboot? who knows ...
[03:44] <daftykins> i take it studio comes without pulseaudio?
[03:44] <zcat[1]> It uses everything layer after layer and every layer seems to like randomly assigning the order of devices
[03:44] <zcat[1]> udev does, alsa does, pulse does, and then jack sits on top and has no idea what is what
[03:45] <zcat[1]> it's a complete mess
[03:45] <Minnen> [question] how can i change my wireless protocol from IEEE 802.11 b/g/n to IEEE 802.11 b/g using the terminal?
[03:46] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: You can probably assign a device name with a udev rule.
[03:46] <zcat[1]> Jordan_U, did that
[03:46] <idaniel> http://askubuntu.com/questions/372584/i-cant-get-online-video-to-work-correctly-see-screen-caps#comment476238_372584                                 *This is exactly my problem on another desktop that I can't hook up right now. I just want to find the answer to this question, being it's exactly my problem.
[03:46] <daftykins> zcat[1]: well, i don't understand enough to help sadly. but i'd imagine an askubuntu.com post or a forum thread describing your situation would be better than being here complaining (with my respect)
[03:46] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: So what is your current problem?
[03:46] <glitsj16> whoever: you'll need to give a command to the shortcut that will open a terminal window and executes the top command
[03:47] <daftykins> idaniel: yeah you asked that before, you've not pasted the requested info yet though
[03:47] <zcat[1]> Jordan_U, every time I boot ubuntu studio all the sound devices are in a different random order from last time so nothing ever works
[03:48] <idaniel> daftykins, I can't get to that desktop right now.   I guess it's not fair if you don't know it's inards. I'll get back to you guys maybe tomorrow when I can get it up and running. Sorry.
[03:48] <daftykins> idaniel: it does make problem solving somewhat tougher ;)
[03:49] <idaniel> k     I'll get to you later when I can hook the thing up. thanks anyway.
[03:49] <zcat[1]> and it seems to be a layer above udev ... I think I managed to get it to assign them stattically at that later
[03:49] <zcat[1]> I also found a howto for making alsa assign devices in a particular order which also didn't make any difference\
[03:49] <zcat[1]> and now it's just really making me angry
[03:51] <zcat[1]> every time I start up I just keep rebooting until the devices all come up how jack wants to work with them but this is just stupid!
[03:51] <zcat[1]> and it's so damn slow to boot too
[03:52] <zcat[1]> at the moment I don't have a 'pulseaudio sink' so I can't play stuff in the browser and record from it or mix it at all
[03:53] <greeter> zcat[1] i've found that audacity can do that if you set the input channel properly, and i don't have pulseaudio installed
[03:54] <zcat[1]> greeter, when it's working properly I can record to ardour, mixer on one track, qsynth (midi keyboard) on another track, music from the web on a third ...
[03:54] <zcat[1]> can I do that in audacity ..
[03:54] <zcat[1]> ?
[03:55] <greeter> hmm that i've never tried to tell you the truth :-S
[03:55] <zcat[1]> Well it works fine here, I just have to reboot eight times unti all the sound devices fluke the right order
[03:56] <zcat[1]> and then try not to boot again for as long as possible
[03:56] <zcat[1]> when it works it's really good.. I just want it to come up working on every reboot
[03:56] <nobody08> battery indicator missing from 'Indicator plugin' Ubuntu 12.04... please help
[03:58] <greeter> ah i see
[03:58] <NictraSavios> nobody08, I had this issue with an ex's computer,  I found the solution here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/148971/battery-indicator-missing-ubuntu-12-04
[03:59] <greeter> i don't know much about using sound on linux. i like to set it and forget it. it's why i usually uninstall pulseaudio
[03:59] <enneract> Is there a way to install a package from a previous release? For example, I need the package libglew1.8 on trusty, but it does not exist yet - can I force apt-get to grab the saucy version~
[03:59] <somsip> enneract: trusty is in beta. Support in #ubuntu+1, but the answer is no
 thanks.. let me try
[04:01] <enneract> somsip: it isn't a trusty-specific question, I could as well be asking how to get a quantal package on saucy :D Either way... there really isn't a way to do this? I was able to do it to an entire PPA by editing the .list file, there is no way for a single package?
[04:01] <nobody08> NictraSavios, tried that already... no luck..
[04:01] <diuneigh> can anyone help me with Xchat for ubuntu?
[04:02] <somsip> enneract: if you were using a non-beta release, it might have all of the missing files you need. PPAs are different from official packages, and end answer is still "no" AFAIK
[04:03] <enneract> sadly, the non-beta release doesn't work with my hardware.
[04:07] <Ronie> diuneigh: what's the problem with xchat in ubuntu?
[04:08] <diuneigh> Ronie: I'm trying to set it up like Mirc in Windows.  I need to do a dccserver command and open up a port.  I don't know how to do it in xchat.  Any ideas?
[04:09] <Jordan_U> enneract: Ask in #ubuntu+1 for problems with a beta release, or install a stable release and ask here about how to solve the hardware support problems you're having.
[04:09] <NictraSavios> nobody08, Sorry, I'm not sure how to help you then. Maybe someone else will
[04:09] <Ronie> diuneigh: Mirc and xchat are little different than each other. some features of mirc may be not in xchat.
[04:10] <diuneigh> Ronie:  yes, I know that.  I need to open a port in xchat like I did previously in mirc.  Any ideas?
[04:11] <nobody08> the battery indicator missing from the 'Indicator Plugin' on my Ubuntu 12.10LTS, after i configured it to Xfce Desktop...
[04:11] <nobody08> NictraSavios ... thanks though.
[04:12] <Jef91> are .conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d loaded automatically in 12.04?
[04:12] <Ronie> diuneigh:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=115061
[04:12] <nobody08> Xfce looks great... just made it look like Windows 7
[04:12] <Ronie> it can help ypu.
[04:12] <Ronie> you
[04:13] <diuneigh> Ronie,  I'll read that.  Thanks!
[04:13] <Ronie> no problem
[04:14] <oots_> Glass windows
[04:16] <Beldar> I've fallen and my linux looks like windows
[04:17] <nobody08> can anyone help to fix the missing battery indicator ... Ubuntu 12.10 with Xfce .
[04:19] <Ronie> Beldar: in lxde u can have icons like my documents and my computer, like u have in windows
[04:19] <diuneigh> Ronie:  didn't solve the problem.  I need to set it to 6060 so I can access an Fserve
[04:19] <glitsj16> nobody08: just a question .. are you using the xfce panel or the unity panel?
[04:20] <Beldar> Ronie, Hmm if I want windows icons I boot my W8.1
[04:21] <nobody08> xfce4-panel 4.8.6 panel..
[04:21] <nobody08> glitsj16: any idea?
[04:22] <Beldar> Ronie, I'm not a hard core linux user, I started on open source however every OS has a use, bragging here on making your ubuntu look like windows is well a bit strange is all.
[04:22] <glitsj16> nobody08: okay, i think most people who read your question probably assumed the unity panel, might be different packages involved .. you have the xfce4-battery-plugin installed?
[04:23] <lucasredsn0w> nobody08: Have you installed all plugins?
[04:23] <nobody08> let me check...
[04:23] <lucasredsn0w> nobody08: Using XChat 2.8.8 on Ubuntu?
[04:24] <nobody08> yeah ... using xchat.
[04:25] <lucasredsn0w> nobody08: I use Quassel IRC, compiled by myself
[04:25] <lucasredsn0w> nobody08: I love "making" softwares (./configure && make && make install)
[04:25] <nobody08> i am a linux newbei..
[04:26] <lucasredsn0w> nobody08: I've used linux for nearly 2 years, but I'm still not very good  at it.
[04:26] <lucasredsn0w> I just simply "use" linux
[04:26] <nobody08> can you show me how to find out  ... if  xfce4-battery-plugin  is installed.
[04:27] <darin> Where is the proper place to inquire about a technical issue with Ubuntu
[04:27] <lucasredsn0w> Use "Software Center"
[04:27] <Beldar> darin, This is support
[04:27] <glitsj16> nobody08: apt-cache policy xfce4-battery-plugin  .. will tell you
[04:27] <lucasredsn0w> I need to restart X

[04:27] <nobody08> thanks
[04:28] <darin> Cool, I have a few questions , I wanted to test the new KDE Ubuntu but can't seem to access the wireless drivers. I'm hoping that I can work through a linux version with proper wireless drivers
[04:28] <nobody08> nope ....
[04:29] <nobody08> not installed
[04:29] <Beldar> darin, run in the terminal lspci and find the wifi info and share it with the channel.
[04:29] <glitsj16> nobody08: so let's hope the issue will be fixed once you install that and add it to the panel
[04:29] <darin> cool
[04:30] <lucasredsn0w> nobody08, I'm back
[04:30] <Beldar> darin, Are you in a live session as of now?

[04:34] <Beldar> darin, You on a live session, broadcom is supported, however elementary OS is not here.
[04:34] <glitsj16> nobody08: no reboot needed .. if i remember you might need to right-click on the panel and there should appear a menu entree to add a plugin

[04:35] <darin> Yes, I'm hoping to port the drivers somehow since I was able to hardwire the drivers with ethernet / sudo commands earlier
[04:37] <Roland-> how can I configure startup scripts on latest ubuntu ?
[04:37] <somsip> !upstart | Roland-
[04:37] <darin> I'm trying to configure the wireless from a working kernal and am wanting to load the wifi drivers **somehow** to a newly installed Kubuntu on a different partition
[04:38] <nobody08> glistsj16:  Thank you so much... it works.
[04:38] <glitsj16> nobody08: you're welcome :)
[04:39] <Roland-> The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
[04:39] <Roland-> job, but disable is not supported for Upstart jobs.
[04:40] <Roland-> I cannot disable services as I can see
[04:41] <Roland-> damn
[04:41] <diuneigh> can anyone help me set up xchat to open port 6060?
[04:41] <glitsj16> Roland-: too disable services from autostarting you need an override file .. sudo sh -c "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/SERVICE.override" (exchange SERVICE with the correct name of what you need)
[04:43] <Roland-> sound complicated
[04:43] <Roland-> better leave it bloatware full.
[04:43] <darin> Ok, I used this process to install drivers on this currently working (with wireless kernal). I'd like to somehow port these to a disk and install the wifi drivers
[04:43] <darin> Look here: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/Broadcom_bcm43xx
[04:43] <glitsj16> Roland-: it's one command, just use the name of the service you want to stop from starting at boot
[04:44] <Roland-> ok
[04:44] <darin> hmmm
[04:46] <Beldar> !broadcom | darin for the kubuntu
[04:46] <Roland-> ok, let's see how it works
[04:47] <Beldar> darin, Heh,  missed you posted that link.
[04:47] <glitsj16> Roland-: example .. sudo sh -c "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/mysql.override" will stop mysql from starting .. you can use GUI too: gksudo gedit .. make a new file with only the word 'manual' and save it in the correct location (/etc/init/mysql.override to stay with the example)
[04:48] <Roland-> yep
[04:48] <Roland-> seems to work
[04:48] <Roland-> but how can i get a list of services configured to start at boot?
[04:49] <glitsj16> Roland-: nice, if you want to enable the service again later, just remove the override file
[04:52] <glitsj16> Roland-: use "sudo initctl list"
[04:53] <nobody08> wallpaper slide-show on Xfce .... any suggestion?

[05:08] <brewmaster619> Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting why my system will entirely freeze (except the mouse) about once a week?
[05:08] <brewmaster619> I'm a semi-n00b
[05:10] <glitsj16> brewmaster619: when it happens, looking at the logs would be a starting point
[05:12] <brewmaster619> not seeing anythign in the logs that lloks unusual so far, but dont' know exactly which to concentrate on, and don't necessarily know what is "good" or "bad" when I look at it.
[05:12] <glitsj16> first thing i thought when i read the question was a big cronjob, like a backup job or something, just a thought
[05:13] <glitsj16> but that would be repeating on a very stable pattern i suppose, it's not every week? :)
[05:15] <diuneigh> how to do a "plug and play" with MyBook in ubuntu 12.04?
[05:16] <brewmaster619> no, it's not consistent; have had it happen twice in one day, but that was about a month ago.  Just happenend about 10 minutes agao.
[05:16] <glitsj16> brewmaster619: when it happens you can try 'top' or 'htop' to find what processes are possible culprits ..
[05:18] <ryan_turner|MTW> Having trouble where ubuntu desktop 13.10 is not adding default route for my eth1... how can I troubleshoot that?
[05:18] <ryan_turner|MTW> Network operates fine for all other machines on network, including an ubuntu 12.04 server and numerous windows 8/7 machines
[05:19] <ryan_turner|MTW> (AKA every reboot I have to do sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>)
[05:19] <brewmaster619> can't run anything, I don't think even if a terminal is open.  So far, the only thing that's continued to operate is the mouse, and it moves fine; just can't actually click on anything
[05:20] <glitsj16> brewmaster619: yeah, difficult to track down i guess .. probably swapping like crazy
[05:21] <brewmaster619> I dunno, I have 8 GB ram, and the HD isn't super quit...I didn't notice swapping, though I'm not ruling it out.
[05:30] <ryan_turner|MTW> Any ideas for my 13.10 desktop that for some reason isn't getting network settings properly? It adds an internal route fine, but does not add a route for internets. I have to manually add one via  sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>

[06:31] <phatso> I was looking for an ubuntu 10.04 liveCD and only found a live DVD. Then I found a liveCD for 10.04 SERVER. Does one for a desktop exist? I'm trying to recover a system that has lost the boot and bin directories.
[06:32] <phatso> All I see are server CDs here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
[06:33] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: Why can't you use a 12.04 image?
[06:33] <hitsujiTMO> phatso: 10.04 desktop is end of life and no longer supported so you wont find a cd around
[06:35] <phatso> SonikkuAmerica: would the 12.04 CD be compatible with my remaining lucid binaries?
[06:35] <phatso> hitsujiTMO: all I need to do is recover the files in /bin and /boot
[06:36] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: You could see if it would upgrade the whole SYSTEM while you're at it...
[06:36] <phatso> I don't want to upgrade the system, I already installed a new system and wanted to run that old disk drive inside virtualbox
[06:37] <phatso> but would the serv server CD have the /bin binaries and the correct kernels to repair my crashed system?
[06:40] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: If you really need a 10.04 CD, <<NOTE: THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!>> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/
[06:41] <rww> lolwat
[06:41] <rww> you people, i swear
[06:41] <rww> http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/
[06:42] <SonikkuAmerica> rww: Ah, that's where it is.
[06:42] <phatso> SonikkuAmerica: I don;t see any iso images there
[06:42] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: See rww's link
[06:43] <SonikkuAmerica> rww: Also, I am a sworn person. Thanks for reaffirming that. :)
[06:43] <Kartagis> how do I disable the status notification applet?
[06:43] <phatso> Oh yes there it is. I don't know why I was told I wouldn't find it
[06:44] <Rosbuntu> can not send or recieve files from my android phone in ubuntu
[06:44] <Rosbuntu> im using blueman
[06:44] <Rosbuntu> can anyone help me with this
[06:47] <phatso> Judging by the "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100427.1" in my sources.lst it seems I must have installed from the alternate CD
[06:48] <Rosbuntu> can not send or recieve files from my android phone in ubuntu
[06:51] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: So? Use the live image to fix it
[06:51] <phatso> So if I install using that lucid CD, during the install would it find and install the latest kernels or would I have to do that later
[06:52] <phatso> I suppose that alternate-install CD has a liveCD option
[06:52] <phatso> and I boot that in rescue mode?
[06:56] <phatso> ok so I used the mini.iso to boot into a rescue environment, I mounted /target and populated /target/bin with the binaries from /bin
[06:56] <phatso> how can I use apt to populate /boot and /boot/grub with a working kernel, any ideas?
[06:57] <Ben64> phatso: this is not the correct location to be seeking help with an outdated version of ubuntu
[06:58] <aegisx> Is there a Linux alternative to Microsoft OneNote, by any chance?
[06:58] <phatso> Ben64: this could be a valid question for any distro. I guess I need the apt- command that repairs packages. First order of business is to restore bash
[06:59] <Kartagis> how do I disable the status notification applet?
[06:59] <nobody08>  /msg NickServ identify adaedward
[07:00] <Ben64> phatso: the bottom line is, if you want support here, you have to be using a supported release. 12.04 or 13.10 is suggested, as 13.04 is losing support very soon
[07:01] <Tuck_C_Dough> i thought 12.04 LTS was being supported until 2017
[07:01] <phatso> ok...so if I download a mini.iso for 12.04 would I be able to repair the kernels?
[07:01] <BlackDalek> This isn't strictly an Ubuntu question - it's a Wine for linux question... but can anyone remind me... how do I launch Steam in Wine from the command line so that it opens in a virtual desktop environment?
[07:01] <Tuck_C_Dough> Blackdalek - i use playonlinux for the GUI behind wine
[07:02] <Ben64> Tuck_C_Dough: 12.04 is supported until 2017
[07:03] <Tuck_C_Dough> but you are saying 13.04 is losing support?
[07:03] <Ben64> 13.04 isn't 12.04...
[07:03] <rww> 12.04 *Server* is supported until 2017 because it's an LTS
[07:03] <rww> 13.04 is not an LTS
[07:03] <Tuck_C_Dough> kk
[07:03] <Tuck_C_Dough> just making sure
[07:03] <Ben64> 12.04 *everything* is supported until 2017
[07:04] <kop> "13.04 is losing support very soon..."
[07:04] <rww> oh, 12.04 not 10.04. i'm smrt
[07:04] <hitsujiTMO> like today soon
[07:04] <Ben64> or tomorrow, depending on your time zone
[07:05] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: No, no, no! The 12.04 mini.iso is NOT a repair disc.
[07:05] <Tuck_C_Dough> is it worth it going to 14 yet? like when would be a good date to aim for a stable pre copy of 14?
[07:05] <SwedeMike> rww: all 12.04 has support until 2017, not only server. They changed that in 12.04.
[07:05] <rww> SwedeMike: Ben64 already said this, yes
[07:06] <Ben64> Tuck_C_Dough: would be a better question for #ubuntu+1
[07:06] <SwedeMike> Tuck_C_Dough: what problem are you trying to solve by going for 14.04 ?
[07:06] <kop> Ben64, okay now I'm confused ... <Ben64> phatso: the bottom line is, if you want support here, you have to be using a supported release. 12.04 or 13.10 is suggested, as 13.04 is losing support very soon...
[07:06] <SonikkuAmerica> So how long is the circle of telephone going to continue? 12.04 == LTS, supported until 2017 | 13.04 != LTS, support ends TODAY
[07:07] <kop> of course confusing me doesn't take much
[07:07] <SonikkuAmerica> kop: Also, avocado is made of guacamole :)
[07:07] <Thete> why is it that people always question running beta versions of linux distros?  Isn't that the whole point?
[07:08] <kop> SonikkuAmerica, gnorph ? drool... :-P~
[07:09] <SonikkuAmerica> lol
[07:09] <Thete> Do that many people not understand that alpha/beta == no support?
[07:09] <rww> Thete: yes
[07:09] <Thete> oh
[07:09] <Thete> freenode has changed quite a bit over the years I guess then
[07:10] <Tuck_C_Dough> @swedemike no problem to solve. just curious.
[07:10] <SonikkuAmerica> Thete: No mainline support anyway... here we have #ubuntu+1
[07:10] <kop> I still have a 10.04 that I can't upgrade to 12.xx because the 11.xx repos vanished
[07:10] <Ben64> 10.04 upgrades directly to 12.04
[07:10] <hitsujiTMO> kop you can upgrade lts to lts
[07:10] <SonikkuAmerica> kop: In Software Sources, ensure that "Long-term releases only" is selected."
[07:11] <SonikkuAmerica> Iha Shacks... never heard of 'em
[07:11] <kop> Ben64, tried that it broke "everything" thank finagle for huge spare volumes and dd
[07:12] <phatso> Is there any way to tell if I inadvertently did upgrade to 12? Supposing I pastebinned my sources.lst would that be enough? I see lucid in all the repo urls so it must still be lucid, right?
[07:12] <SonikkuAmerica> kop: "Everything"? Even the "quotes" you used to enclose everything in?
[07:13] <Ben64> phatso: cat /etc/issue
[07:13] <kop> SonikkuAmerica, would not boot from any previously viable boot partition
[07:13] <phatso> Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l
[07:13] <phatso> Not sure why the newline and linefeed characters show up literally
[07:14] <SonikkuAmerica> kop: Did you try upgrading using a Live image?
[07:14] <kop> yup
[07:14] <kop> <-- not new just dangerous
[07:15] <phatso> I had the same problem as kop, luckily I had a 2nd hard drive handy so I installed wheezy on that drive and am now going to run my repaired lucid install in virtualbox. Once I figure out how to repair /bin, /dev and /boot
[07:15] <SonikkuAmerica> kop: Did you backupallyourdataandtheninstallfromscratchandplaceyourdataonthefreshinstall ?
[07:16] <phatso> I like how people throw the b word around so casually thinking everyone has a half gig to terrabyte spare capacity to rsynch everythng into
[07:16] <Thete> storage is cheap
[07:17] <kop> SonikkuAmerica, I suppose I could but this is what is bothering me . It worked fine in VM but on hardware it borks
[07:17] <SonikkuAmerica> kop: Maybe a better question is - did you try a fresh install, period?
[07:17] <SonikkuAmerica> (As in, before?)
[07:18] <SonikkuAmerica> phatso: Probably the only thing worth backing up is the /home folder, any config scripts you have, and probably a list of installed software (and definitely sources.list and sources.list.d)
[07:19] <phatso> You're forgetting all the /root data which may have cached ssh keys and what not
[07:19] <kop> actually not an option as I have so much config/3rd party crap/software/thirbligs (wtfever) that I really needed 10-11-then 12 and missed my window
[07:19] <kop> the box ian
[07:20] <kop> the box isn't critical so I'm not too worried
[07:20] <kop> just a puzzle
[07:24] <anandj> hi am trying to test syncookie functionality on a ubuntu 11.04 server.
[07:25] <anandj> I am using scapy to send a tcp packet, but receiving TCPError in the reply. I followed this to send the TCP syn packet. http://samsclass.info/124/proj11/proj10-123-scapy-tcp.html
[07:25] <anandj> The server is still functional and running.
[07:25] <anandj> though netstat -atn prints out too much syn_recv connections..
[07:26] <anandj> Any suggestions how to fix this? we get some high latency during peak load because of this.
[07:27] <xangua> !11.04
[07:29] <anandjeyahar> @xangua: I know we need to upgrade, we are planning for it in a couple of days time..
[07:40] <xxx> hi
[07:54] <Ronie> hello
[07:59] <helmut_> hi
[08:02] <Ronie> .
[08:16] <Gotolei> anyone able to help with a laptop brightness problem
[08:25] <Bear10> I have a vm with a bunch of programs installed and configured in ubuntu, is it possible to create an installer of sorts so I can install it as is on a host?
[08:25] <OmnIcK> Hi! How can I reinstall a package AND ALL deps for it? Ubuntu 12.04... Thanks! :-)
[08:27] <Gotolei> well this is a nice ghost town
[08:28] <Bear10> yes it is lol, i think everyone is in PST
[08:28] <Gotolei> heh
[08:28] <Gotolei> thought ubuntu was uk-based but oh well
[08:28]  * Gotolei is in PST :P
[08:29] <k1l_> Gotolei: Bear10 we have #ubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. this is the ubuntu support channel
[08:29] <Gotolei> yeah i came here looking for support
[08:29] <Bear10> oh
[08:29] <Bear10> k1l_ so did i hah
[08:29] <Gotolei> all i found was a wall of joins/quits
[08:30] <Gotolei> prolly better luck on the forums or something..
[08:30] <k1l_> Bear10: remastersys or uck might what you are looking for
[08:30] <Supaplex> I started nautilus manually because i'm not getting usb sticks to automount. What else should I look into?
[08:31] <Bear10> k1l, thanks
[08:31] <k1l_> Gotolei: with out a specific question the motivation to answer is quite low
[08:31] <Gotolei> i'm terrible with descriptions so http://videobin.org/+7aw/9k6.html
[08:31] <Gotolei> it doesn't zero out properly
[08:31] <k1l_> Supaplex: what ubuntu exaclty are you using? and what does dmesg tell you after you stick the usb in
[08:32] <Gotolei> what's weird is that it works properly in plymouth and lightdm
[08:32] <Gotolei> only after login it behaves like that
[08:33] <Gotolei> no matter what de i use
[08:33] <Bear10> thanks k1l, remastersys is perfect
[08:33] <Gotolei> (sorry for terrible vid quality btw)
[08:34] <Supaplex> k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6825049/   I switched to tty1+2+3 a day or two ago (was logged out of gnome) backedup /home and with lvm, recreated it (as I was borrowing extra space from another physical harddisk, and this seemed faster than playing with resize2fs to reduce the size)
[08:35] <VLanX> anyone has a clue on what happens there?  http://pastebin.com/8PQifWbE
[08:35] <rf5> hi im not sure about what to do in this situation: http://pastie.org/8671212
[08:36] <supauli> VLanX: you copy from dev zero to somewhere, what are you trying to do?
[08:36] <VLanX> supauli: I was supposed to specify the output but I hit enter by mystake and I was surprised it was actually "transferring" data?
[08:36] <VLanX> not sure what happened
[08:36] <Supaplex> VLanX: /dev/zero is full of ascii #000 (never ending stream) but it appears you're missing of= (are you trying to blank something or create an empty image file?)
[08:37] <Supaplex> VLanX: no harm done. of= implies stdout (or the terminal)
[08:37] <VLanX> oh ok
[08:37] <OmnIcK> Hi! How can I reinstall a package AND ALL deps for it? Ubuntu 12.04... Thanks! :-)
[08:37] <VLanX> thanks guys
[08:37] <supauli> VLanX: oh, ok. The IF defaults to STDOUT according to manpage, and printing 0 does nothing to stdout
[08:38] <VLanX> great. I was starting to worry :D
[08:38] <rf5> Hello, im trying to install libpam0g-dev thru apt-get but im getting this: http://pastie.org/8671212 what should i do?
[08:38] <Supaplex> VLanX: supauli means if= implies STDIN (also the terminal, what you type into it) - but you gave dd if= so that's okay.
[08:43] <rf5> anyone please?
[08:45] <rf5> Hello, im trying to install libpam0g-dev thru apt-get but im getting this: http://pastie.org/8671212 what should i do?
[08:45] <Supaplex> rf5: try an apt-get update, and retry the install. otherwise, dpkg -l \*libpam0g\*  into pastebin
[08:46] <rf5> ye i did the update and retried, same error
[08:46] <rf5> http://pastie.org/8671236
[08:46] <Bray90820> Is there anyway to have a 25 or 20 minute screen turnoff
[08:46] <Bray90820> 15 not 25
[08:47] <Supaplex> dunno rf5. :-/ unless you can find the same versions of both and install them with dpkg -i (eg, manually download the packages)
[08:48] <rf5> sucks ay :(
[08:48] <rf5> thanks anyway bro
[08:49] <Bray90820> Is there anyway to have a 15 or 20 minute screen turnoff
[08:51] <pcya911> Hi guys, I have problem with nfs file sharing, I have one nfs server (NAS - BusyBox, 1.16.1) and 3 servers with Ubuntu, on 2 servers with older version of Ubuntu sharing works correctly, but I have problem after upgrade one of servers (Ubuntu 13.10), when I try mount remote partition manually, then mount command hangs forever...
[09:08] <prx> Hi, cant find the exact words to explain google my problem
[09:09] <LongCatTH> my audio source is mono, but it show stereo "Name: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo", when I record a sound.. no sound on the right of my speaker
[09:09] <prx> but my chromium URL bar decided to replace letters (if i am writing in the middle of the address) instead of showing them
[09:09] <prx> sorry *adding them
[09:09] <LongCatTH> u press "insert" button ?
[09:10] <prx> cheers :)
[09:10] <prx> i forgot what this button is for :)
[09:10] <prx> ok now my second issue
[09:10] <prx> just happened moments ago
[09:10] <Drakonslayor> hi, sorta new to ubuntu (though i use to use it a few years ago)...
[09:10] <prx> nevermind

[09:16] <owen__> Hello all. Just updated my Ubuntu 12.04LTS and now I have no wifi, no mouse pad. But first I wan't to sort out my Firefox flash plugin problem. I have installed the 'flash-plugin installer' from the deb repos. How, where do I activate it, so that it installs the flash plugin?
[09:18] <Bento> I have a weird issue with my Ubuntu machine. It says rootfs filled up but I cannot find more than 4 GB worth of data on there. And rootfs is 20 GB large.
[09:18] <Bento> See config here: http://mibpaste.com/a0cljb and here http://mibpaste.com/XX0Gu5
[09:18] <Bento> Any ideas?
[09:22] <Ben64> Bento:  rootfs 20G 18G 508M 98% / <--- see, it's almost full
[09:23] <Bento> Yeah thats the point
[09:23] <Bento> There no more than a few GBs of data in there
[09:23] <owen__> Hello all. Just updated my Ubuntu 12.04LTS and now I have no wifi, no mouse pad. But first I wan't to sort out my Firefox flash plugin problem. I have installed the 'flash-plugin installer' from the deb repos. How, where do I activate it, so that it installs the flash plugin?
[09:24] <Bento> du -h shows about 4 GBs
[09:25] <Ben64> Bento: pastebin that
[09:26] <Ben64> owen__: how exactly did you get "flash-plugin installer"
[09:27] <Bento> Ben64: Just deleted a 3 Gbs of data but it still says theres alot of data in it. Heres the output http://pastebin.com/kHRYMtJR
[09:28] <Ben64> Bento: you're just listing what is in ~
[09:28] <owen__> Ben64: I can't remember exactly. It's been a while, but I see it as installed in the deb installer. After updating, it no longer works in Firefox
[09:29] <Ben64> Bento: and you shouldn't be doing stuff as root, you should use sudo when necessary
[09:29] <Bento> Ben64: What do u need
[09:29] <Ben64> owen__: pastebin "dpkg -l | grep -i flash"
[09:30] <Ben64> Bento: pastebin "du -xh --max-depth 1 /"
[09:31] <Bento> http://pastebin.com/aYeJ2Tn5
[09:33] <owen__> Ben64: dpkg -l | grep -i flash = flashplugin-installer <IP_ADDRESS>5ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
[09:35] <owen__> Ben64: Not sure it should automatically install or if I have to do anything. It's been working nicely for a while until I ran the update.
[09:36] <Ben64> owen__: try reinstalling that package
[09:37] <owen__> Ben64: Just done that
[09:37] <Ben64> Bento: sudo lsof | grep "(deleted)"                   <--- will show you all the files that are deleted, but still open. that will add to the used drive space but not show up in du
[09:37] <Ben64> owen__: then it should be installed
[09:38] <Ben64> owen__: it puts the plugin in here ---> /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[09:38] <Bento> Ben64: It's finding a crapload of files
[09:38] <Bento> mostly in /tmp and /root.cache/
[09:39] <Bento> .cache is used by duplicity for my backups
[09:39] <owen__> Ben64: This update I just did borked my flash on Firefox, mouspad and my wifi :(
[09:44] <Bento> I restarted mysql and now theres 17 GB free again lol
[09:45] <Installer> Hello everyone, I had Debian 7.3 installed and I decided to change to ubuntu desktop 13.10
[09:45] <Installer> The installation is going fine
[09:45] <Installer> But I get no boot after that
[09:45] <Installer> I tried to reinstall a few more times
[09:46] <Installer> Same result
[09:46] <Installer> And the installer does recognize I have ubuntu 13.10 installed
[09:46] <Installer> How can I fix this?
[09:49] <k1l_> Installer: do you see grub? what is the last you see?
[09:51] <Installer> I tried to fix the grub
[09:51] <Installer> It fixed it
[09:51] <Installer> But I still get no boot
[09:56] <Installer> Anyone?
[09:56] <k1l_> Installer: more details?
[09:57] <Installer> I get no grub menu and no options
[09:57] <Installer> Boot is simply saying that no operating system exist
[09:57] <Installer> If I click to try ubuntu
[09:58] <Installer> I can see everything is installed on the hdf
[09:58] <Installer> Anything else that may help you?
[09:58] <TJ-> Installer: How many hard disks, USB storage devices, and CD/DVDs are attached at that point?
[09:59] <Installer> 1 USB
[09:59] <Installer> 1 hdd
[09:59] <Installer> No cd/DVD
[09:59] <pixxel> Hello. I could use some help, tried to google this problem but could not find a solution: I can't move stuff in my GUI(unity) and i can't click on certain buttons.
[09:59] <TJ-> Installer: It sounds like a pretty typical mistake where the BIOS/firmware boot order doesn't include the device the OS is installed on. Have you confirmed in BIOS/firmware that the HDD is in the boot device order?
[10:00] <Installer> It's in the boot order
[10:00] <TJ-> Installer: When it boots with just the HDD connected, are you able to get to the GRUB menu by holding down the Shift key as the BIOS POST sequence ends?
[10:00] <Installer> I even tried manually to point the boot there
[10:01] <Installer> Trying now
[10:02] <Installer> Nope, no go
[10:02] <MAD_51> morning!
[10:02] <TJ-> Installer: OK, that sounds strange. You say that Debian was installed previously, was it starting using GRUB?
[10:03] <Installer> Yes it was
[10:03] <TJ-> Installer: Even if the Ubuntu installer managed to put the GRUB boot files on, say, the USB device, the previous GRUB from Debian would still be loaded
[10:03] <owen__> After an update, many things wouldn't work with my Ubuntu 12.04 I read somewhere that if I run 'dpkg --configure -a' however I get this output. http://pastebin.com/LCNsk4Gw What should I do?
[10:04] <TJ-> Installer: I think you'll need to start the Live ISO image and from that do some detective work to identify what is wrong, and how to fix it
[10:04] <mikemousek> hi
[10:04] <Installer> I tried to rebuild the entire disk with a fresh boot partition (efi)
[10:05] <Installer> Still no go
[10:05] <mikemousek> the best now is XUBUNTU fantastic speed and performance
[10:05] <mikemousek> thanks linux
[10:06] <TJ-> owen__: What does this report? "cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sudo sysctl -p -"
[10:07] <TJ-> Installer: hang on, this is on a UEFI system? Is the installation on an MBR or GPT partition layout?
[10:07] <mikemousek> xfce4 is better now ,fantastic job brothers
[10:08] <TJ-> Installer: And, have you disabled SecureBoot and enabled Compatibility System Module (Legacy support) ?
[10:08] <Installer> I can disable the UEFI and reinstall
[10:08] <pixxel> Not to flood this channel but again; I'm unable to click on anything using my GUI in linux(tried mint with cinnamon, did not work, tried installing xfce on mint still unable to use gui, and now ubuntu with unity) Tried to google the problem but could not find a solution.
[10:09] <TJ-> Installer: That shouldn't be necessary. What partition layout is on the disk, MBR or GPT?
[10:10] <mikemousek> unity  doesn 't very  good  hot system ever
[10:10] <owen__> TJ-: I get this http://pastebin.com/2y6WFGBd
[10:10] <mikemousek> the best is xfce4-desktop
[10:10] <Drakonslayor> hi, just started using ubuntu again (first time in a long time). wondering if there is any way to get my logitech g35 headset working on surround or atleast get the bass working in them... they sound super tinny
[10:11] <Installer> I have no idea
[10:11] <Installer> How can I check?
[10:11] <TJ-> owen__: There's your problem then "error: "Invalid argument" setting key "fs.inotify.max_user_watches" " ... so identify which file that is in, and comment it out for now: "grep -n 'fs\.inotify\.max_user_watches' /etc/sysctl.d*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Drakonslayor: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[10:12] <owen__> TJ-: Thanks for showing me... :)
[10:12] <TJ-> Installer: If you start the Live ISO "Try Ubuntu", at a Terminal you can do "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda" (assuming the hard disk is sda) and that will report on MBR and/or GPT status
[10:13] <TJ-> owen__: After making that change you can re-run your reconfigure command
[10:14] <Installer> It's gpt
[10:15] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[10:16] <Wiz_KeeD> Two questions is I may: 1. I used synclient to make certain areas of my touchpad dead so I don't accidentaly start it, how do I make it permanent so it loads on boot?
[10:16] <TJ-> Installer: OK ...  can you pastebin the output of that 'gdisk' command, we need to ensure there's a valid EFI system partition
[10:17] <owen__> TJ-: When I run that command "grep -n 'fs\.inotify\.max_user_watches' /etc/sysctl.d*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf" I get "grep: /etc/sysctl.d*.conf: No such file or directory"
[10:17] <Wiz_KeeD> and two, I have a hdd caddy with ntfs to be used by both operating systems, how do I have it mounted permanently because if I download torrents or have my dropbox configured on it errors out when I boot the device and the programs automatically try to find the source
[10:17] <Wiz_KeeD> it's like it has a different name or path and they can't find it:(
[10:18] <TJ-> owen__: oops! Typo ... there is a "/" missing between "/etc/sysctl.d" and "*.conf"
[10:19] <installer2> TJ-: maybe this will help
[10:19] <installer2> boot-repair output
[10:19] <installer2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6825397/
[10:20] <owen__> TJ-: OK now it works. :) So I comment out those entries that I
[10:20] <owen__> TJ-: OK now it works. :) So I comment out those entries that I'm seeing from grep?
[10:20] <TJ-> owen__: I'm not sure why that stopped your system working... is it a low-memory system? Because that line you commented out is pretty standard
[10:21] <TJ-> owen__: You should only need to comment out the lines that are reported as errors
[10:21] <totesmuhgoats> hey pals
[10:21] <installer2> TJ-: 'gdisk' output
[10:21] <installer2> http://pastebin.com/wf7zCPg0
[10:21] <TJ-> installer2: That looks like sda is messed up... is the drive failing!? Check "/var/log/kern.log" for signs of I/O errors reading sda
[10:22] <totesmuhgoats> if a box has no keyboard / mouse and will be controlled with synergy, is there a way to login to the lightdm login screen over ssh?
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> totesmuhgoats: you can configure lightdm to autologin...
[10:23] <totesmuhgoats> ActionParsnip: i was hoping to avoid that, but i'm keeping it as a last resport
[10:23] <totesmuhgoats> resort even*
[10:23] <installer2> TJ-: nope, no errors or failuers there
[10:25] <thom_r> is it possible to remove Unity and install Cairo dock?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> thom_r: just disable Unity plugin in ccsm, why would you need to uninstall it?
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> thom_r: it uses very little space.
[10:25] <thom_r> just curious
[10:26] <thom_r> what is ccsm
[10:27] <TJ-> installer2: The boot-repair output is conflicting, in that it starts off reporting problems with even mounting sda1 sda2 but then goes on to report on them, and what it reports on the face of it looks correct
[10:27] <installer2> TJ-: ok, and what about the gdisk output I've sent you? is that ok?
[10:28] <TJ-> installer2: The only thing I can imagine is your PC's UEFI firmware didn't accept the addition of a boot menu entry
[10:28] <installer2> What should I do in such a case?
[10:29] <TJ-> installer2: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr"
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> thom_r: its a config app for compiz
[10:31] <installer2> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/cVbg4gfi
[10:34] <TJ-> installer2: It looks like the BootOrder is putting "ubuntu" too far down the order
[10:35] <installer2> OK... is there a way to fix it?
[10:35] <TJ-> installer2: If you notice, "ubuntu" is 'Boot0005' and BootOrder doesn't list it first.
[10:35] <installer2> I see
[10:37] <TJ-> installer2: "sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0005,0007,0000,0001,0002,0006"
[10:37] <installer2> it gave me an output
[10:38] <installer2> And I see that it's still in the same order
[10:38] <TJ-> installer2: pastebin the output
[10:38] <Dureiken> Hi there, is that normal that I have no shutdown/restart/logout button in Ubuntu 13.10 taskbar (right of calendar as 12.04) ?? Thanks

[10:39] <TJ-> installer2: That is correct. Look at the "BootOrder" line 0005 is now first in the list
[10:39] <installer2> oh yeah I can see the boot order..
[10:39] <installer2> OK, trying to reboot.. god I hope it works
[10:39] <TJ-> installer2: let's check the GRUB boot files are there as well
[10:39] <installer2> oh ok
[10:39] <installer2> lol
[10:39] <installer2> please explain
[10:39] <TJ-> installer2: check that /dev/sda1 is mounted with "mount | grep sda1"
[10:40] <TJ-> installer2: If it is, tell me where, if not do "sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp"
[10:40] <onlty> TJ-, /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
[10:40] <installer2> TJ-: Should I get any output? because I get nothing
[10:41] <TJ-> installer2: when there's no output it means it isn't mounted right now, so go ahead with the command I just gave you, which will mount it
[10:42] <TJ-> installer2: After you've mounted it you should see a listing of files when you do "find /mnt/tmp -type f"   ... if you see files listed, pastebin the list

[10:44] <foofoobar> Hi. Can someone suggest a good cloud backup solution which I can use with ubuntu? I thought of packing all by myself and putting it to glacier, but maybe there is some easier way to do this?
[10:44] <TJ-> installer2: that looks good, "EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi" is the first file the PC's UEFI firmware should load now the boot-order is set correctly
[10:45] <TJ-> installer2: go ahead and try a reboot
[10:45] <foofoobar> Idealy I want to define a folder list which should be backup'd every X days automatically
[10:45] <installer2> ok.. brb
[10:48] <Installer> TJ-: no go
[10:49] <Installer> end the efibootmgr order changed for some reason when I just checked now
[10:49] <Installer> http://pastebin.com/BLw0tViY
[10:49] <Installer> *and
[10:49] <humbolt> do you guys use ceph and openstack?
[10:51] <TJ-> Installer: if the firmware of the PC is changing the boot order, change it manually yourself to make "ubuntu" first in the list
[10:51] <Installer> TJ-: how?
[10:52] <TJ-> Installer: when the PC boots, press the key to enter "Setup" and then find the boot-order menu and alter it
[10:52] <TJ-> Installer: The "Save settings" and continue (re)booting
[10:52] <Installer> But I don't believe I will see an "ubuntu" entry in the boot-order there
[10:52] <Installer> Right?
[10:52] <TJ-> Installer: If that doesn't stick, then the PC's firmware has a bug
[10:52] <TJ-> Installer: Yes, you will, efibootmgr showed it in the list
[10:53] <Installer> Alright, trying now
[10:53] <TJ-> Installer: On UEFI systems the boot menu is managed by the motherboard's UEFI firmware and it stores the boot entries in its own Non-Volatile RAM
[10:55] <TJ-> Installer: For it to work, the UEFI firmware expects to find an EFI System Partition on the disk, formatted as FAT12,16, or 32, with an "EFI/" directory containing boot files. The boot menu entries saved in NV-RAM point to those files.
[11:00] <kibogol> When making a purchase through Amazon how can one make sure Ubuntu gets affiliate program money?
[11:12] <SrRaven-work> Anyone got an easy guide how I would set up a domain to work with a webserver ? It currently always is IP/blabla/ but I want to change it so its always Domain/blabla/
[11:12] <SrRaven-work> something with apache2,but thats about where my knowledge ends
[11:16] <black_angel> hey, guys, i installed nvidia_331 driver, but it always say: This driver is activated but not currently in use.
[11:16] <Installer> TJ-: Well..
[11:16] <Installer> As It seems
[11:16] <Installer> there is a bug in the Firmware
[11:17] <Installer> I disabled the uefi in the bios, reinstalled, and the system is up and running
[11:17] <black_angel> is there any suggestion?
[11:19] <efren> hola
[11:19] <efren> hijos de puta
[11:20] <gordonjcp> !language | efren
[11:20] <SrRaven-work> now my spanish is bad but even I know that isnt nice :P

[11:21] <efren> ubuntu rules
[11:21] <monkey_man> black-angel, is there perhaps a nvidia-xconf configuration tool or similar. I know when I used NVIDIA a long time ago, I would have to install the drivers, run the configuration tool and restart gnome.
[11:24] <bittyx> Hiya. I'm having trouble with updating a package from the Ubuntu repositories. I'm on Linux Mint Olivia (based on Ubuntu Raring), but this package is installed from Ubuntu's repositories. See this link: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-cola
[11:25] <bittyx> I'm currently on version 1.8.1 which is consistent with that page, as that's the latest release for Raring.
[11:25] <bittyx> However, I'd like to update git-cola to 1.9.3 (the current version).
[11:25] <bittyx> How can I do this?
[11:25] <TJ-> Installer: What is the make/model of the PC/motherboard?
[11:27] <TJ-> bittyx: As it shows, 1.9.3-1 is only released for Trusty, so you'd need to either use the Trusty archive or directly download the .deb packages (and any dependencies) and install them using "dpkg -i"
[11:28] <bittyx> TJ-: https://launchpad.net/~eraserix/+archive/git-cola <-- I've just found this repository which is meant for precise. Can I use that somehow?
[11:28] <bittyx> To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how package repositories work for debian-based systems.
[11:28] <TJ-> bittyx: Then you'd probably best not do it, else you'll risk messing up your system
[11:29] <somsip> bittyx: you're asking about mixing ubuntu PPAs with Mint. Neither of these are supported here...
[11:29] <bittyx> somsip: That's not true. I've explicitly stated that git-cola is pulled from Ubuntu's repositories.
[11:29] <bittyx> somsip: Mint doesn't have git-cola in their repositories.
[11:29] <somsip> bittyx:  https://launchpad.net/~eraserix/+archive/git-cola is a PPA
[11:30] <bittyx> somsip: So if I add that to my software sources, and do "apt-get install git-cola", I'll get the (newer) version from that PPA?
[11:30] <bittyx> somsip: How does apt decide where to get git-cola from, if multiple sources have it?
[11:30] <somsip> bittyx: no idea. We don't support mint here. Really. I'm not just being difficult, we just don't know
[11:32] <bittyx> somsip: Are you saying that Mint uses a different apt program than Ubuntu does? Don't they handle packages pretty much exactly the same?
[11:32] <bittyx> This is really a more general question that *can* be answered without regards to Mint.
[11:32] <somsip> bittyx: I've had nothing to do with mint, so I don't know.
[11:33] <bittyx> I have a package "git-cola" installed from *Ubuntu's* raring repository. It's an old version. I want a newer one. How do I get it?
[11:33] <gordonjcp> I'd be more inclined to help with mint if they had an irc channel on freenode
[11:33] <somsip> bittyx: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will bring in all latest version from official repos
[11:33] <gordonjcp> also I'd give mint a shot if it had unity
[11:34] <bittyx> somsip: The official repo for raring has git-cola 1.8.1. The trusty repo has 1.9.3 (the current stable).
[11:34] <bittyx> somsip: So sudo apt-get update won't make my git-cola upgrade to 1.9.3.
[11:34] <somsip> bittyx: if you have raring installed, you can install raring packages. If you are using trusty, you need to be in #ubuntu+1 as it's still in beta and not supported here...
[11:35] <bittyx> gordonjcp: One of the reasons I'm using Mint is specifically *because* it doesn't have Unity (though I'm sure it can be installed one way or another).
[11:35] <somsip> bittyx: EOT for me. I know you want answers, but this really isn't the place to ask
[11:35] <mikubuntu> ok, no doubt about it now -- there is some (probably) hardware problem with this laptop. when i put the boot cd in, it spins up, some processing occurs onscreen, it goes to the language selection screen, and then goes blank/black and silent. no spinning, no blinking, just the power indicator light and the wireless indicator light showing.
[11:35] <bittyx> somsip: So if the Ubuntu raring repository doesn't update git-cola to a newer version, I can't update it through the software manager?
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> bittyx  better ask in the mint channel
[11:36] <puppylinux2> MonkeyDust: hello
[11:36] <mikubuntu> it was working fine yesterday right up until i backed up/copied all my files off onto a usb
[11:36] <ivan88> !banner
[11:36] <bittyx> Gah. This is obviously not a Mint-specific question, but you guys always refuse to touch anything Mint-related with a 10 foot pole. Even though I'm specifically asking about Ubuntu's software repositories, and Ubuntu's package update system.
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> hi puppylinux2
[11:37] <bittyx> I get that you don't want to take responsibility for a different system (and that's fine), but this is really *not* a Mint question.
[11:37] <puppylinux2> MonkeyDust: which is official linuxmint channel?
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> !mint
[11:38] <k1l_> bittyx: just to make it clear. there are tons of desktops available for ubuntu. so no need to not use ubuntu just because you dont like unity.
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> bittyx  puppylinux2 or surf to linuxmint.com > Community > chatbox
[11:39] <puppylinux2> thans
[11:39] <puppylinux2> thanks
[11:39] <bittyx> k1l_: I'm aware; I just never felt like putting that much energy into something I can have by default (ie. an efficient user interface).
[11:39] <k1l_> bittyx: and yes, mint handles the repositories differently than ubuntu. they need to do this that ubuntu updates dont break their setup. so please ask them for mint topics
[11:39] <bittyx> k1l_: (Efficient for me personally, of course.)
[11:39] <MonkeyDust> bittyx  if mint were the same as ubuntu, it would be called "ubuntu"
[11:40] <ivan88> come si fa x avere la lista
[11:40] <ivan88> ??
[11:40] <ikonia> no
[11:41] <bittyx> Okay, so if I rephrase the question to be Ubuntu-specific, can I get an answer? Imagine I'm using raring, and "sudo apt-get install git-cola" installs version 1.8.1 of the package. The newest git-cola version, however, is 1.9.3. How can I install the newest version?
[11:41] <Installer> TJ-:
[11:41] <DJones> ivan88: This is an operating system support channel
[11:41] <Installer> TJ-: It's a lenovo ThinkCentre M91p
[11:41] <ikonia> bittyx: but you're not using ubuntu
[11:42] <ikonia> bittyx: imagine you get an answer, in the same way I imagine you're using ubuntu
[11:42] <bittyx> ikonia: But how would I do it, if I was?
[11:42] <ikonia> bittyx: you wouldn't do it
[11:42] <bittyx> ikonia: Why not?
[11:43] <TJ-> Installer: ensure it has the latest firmware release:  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018245
[11:43] <ikonia> bittyx: because it's not in the stable repos, and as you're not using ubuntu, answering how you'd do it on another distro would be a different response
[11:44] <mikubuntu> it was working fine yesterday right up until i backed up/copied all my files off onto a usb
[11:44] <bittyx> ikonia: Okay, but what about this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~eraserix/+archive/git-cola <--- can I install it from there?
[11:44] <ikonia> bittyx: depends, what distribution are you using (honeslty)
[11:45] <bittyx> ikonia: I'm using Linux Mint Olivia which is built on Ubuntu Raring. I'm being honest from the start, I didn't lie about that.
[11:45] <ikonia> bittyx: and take it to the mint channels and they can clarify that
[11:45] <k1l_> bittyx: ask the mint guys if that is compatible
[11:45] <ikonia> bittyx: then "no"
[11:45] <bittyx> ikonia: I realize I can add that PPA; my original question was actually how "apt-get install" decides where to install the package from, if it's available in multiple added software sources.
[11:45] <ikonia> bittyx: "no" is the answer to your question
[11:46] <k1l_> bittyx: and exactly that is different on mint. like i told they need do because of they dont want ubuntu updates break their stuff
[11:46] <k1l_> bittyx: so stop making a drama and ask the mint guys about how they handle the stuff
[11:47] <TJ-> Installer: Also, try the Lenovo bootable diagnostics for UEFI: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=LENV-DIAGS#uefi
[11:47] <bittyx> Okay, I'm honestly not trying to be a pain in the ass here - I'm asking in this channel because you people have always been more helpful.
[11:48] <ikonia> bittyx: and you're losing that help and good faith by asking us to support mint, so please stop and taking it to the mint channel you've not even asked there yet
[11:48] <bittyx> Both before, when I was actually using Ubuntu, and a few times when I asked question about Mint here. And to be honest, I've asked questions here, and gotten answers which *solved* my problems, but I wouldn't have gotten those answers if I mentioned I was on Mint.
[11:49] <bittyx> And that's what I don't get - I've gotten useful advice (which I think could be applied to most debian-based distros) by not mentioning I'm not using Ubuntu specifically.
[11:49] <cfhowlett> bittyx, and if mint doesn't give you the support you want, maybe the universe is trying to tell you something ...
[11:49] <cfhowlett> ... never mind ...
[11:50] <ikonia> cfhowlett: it would give him the support if he took the time to ask...as he's not even asked there......
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> bittyx  tip: you coul've use your wasted time here, to ask support in the mint channel
[11:51] <k1l_> enough of that mint talk. i explained 2 times now why that is not a question for this channel. if mint support is that bad, that they dont answer you that questions it is not our duty. so please choose your distro according to their  support if support is important to you.
[11:55] <sh0t> hey guys i am still getting problems with RT3290 wireless card on UBuntu 13.10 (it disconnects after a while of networking) i am running kernel 3.12 any ideas?
[11:56] <ikonia> you shouldnt be running 3.12
[11:56] <ikonia> that is not the stable kernel for 13.10
[11:57] <sh0t> yeah i know ikonia but i tried other fixes which didn't work then on many askubuntu and ubuntu forum i read many thread which suggested to try that kernel so i did it and it seemd to work yesterday but it seems i was wrong
[11:58] <Layke> I've been trying to install kcachegrind, but after constantly chasing down dependencies, I'm like 7 deep, and just confused, as to what this means..
[11:58] <Layke> I've been
[11:59] <ikonia> the package should automatically meet dependencies
[11:59] <ikonia> if it's not doing so it's probably coming from an external repo that's a mess
[11:59] <Layke> Yeah it's not. I started on kcachegrind, then it asked for kde-runtime, then asked for kdelibs, then qt4-support
[11:59] <Layke> Then xyz, etc...
[11:59] <Elico> is this the place for ubuntu-server?
[12:00] <mikubuntu> please, can someone help -- i'm at wit's end with this box
[12:00] <ikonia> Layke: are you building it from source or installing a package
[12:00] <Layke> ikonia, Attempting from package
[12:00] <Layke> apt-get install kcachegrind
[12:00] <Layke> This is the reqs page: http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/show.cgi/KcacheGrindInstallation
[12:00] <ikonia> Layke: then ask that repo to fix it's dependencies
[12:01] <mikubuntu> don't know if some hardware actually fried, very coincidentally at the same time i was trying to install new system
[12:01] <Elico> mikubuntu: what is the issue?
[12:01] <mikubuntu> ok, no doubt about it now -- there is some (probably) hardware problem with this laptop. when i put the boot cd in, it spins up, some processing occurs onscreen, it goes to the language selection screen, and then goes blank/black and silent. no spinning, no blinking, just the power indicator light and the wireless indicator light showing.
[12:02] <mikubuntu> Elico: see post i just repeated
[12:02] <Elico> I do not have the post... just got here..
[12:03] <mikubuntu> Elico: I just repeated after you asked
[12:03] <Elico> It can be just a simple resulution..
[12:03] <Elico> resolution*
[12:04] <Elico> the power lamp is on?
[12:04] <TJ-> sh0t: according to bug #1049466 (which I'm guessing you're aware of!) it looks like it still hasn't bee fixed, even upstream
[12:04] <mikubuntu> Elico: yes
[12:04] <Elico> OK then the PC is OK.
[12:04] <Elico> server or PC?
[12:04] <mikubuntu> pc, gateway laptop
[12:05] <Elico> What is the model?
[12:05] <sh0t> TJ-, yeah i am aware of that but I read in some threads where some people actually had it working just using kernel 3.12
[12:07] <TJ-> sh0t: The latest comments I've just read suggest 3.12 also fails after a while
[12:07] <Elico> mikubuntu: ?
[12:07] <mikubuntu> Elico: i just closed the laptop, to read model number on back (N214), and when i opened the screen, it is lit up again
[12:08] <Elico> I will look on the model...
[12:08] <ArmokGoB> Stuff is opening in 32 bit instead of 64 bit java for some unfantomable reason.  Also I couldnt find my bookmark so I'm not even sure this is the right chanel for this
[12:08] <sh0t> yeah TJ- that's what i am getting too...it's been more than 1 year now when is this going to be fixed!? Could it be that it's a faulty hardware?
[12:08] <sh0t> (well on win8 i am not getting problems so i guess no)
[12:08] <mikubuntu> Elico: but it has a lubuntu disk in it -- i really wanted to install ubuntustudio, which i have on usb -- going to restart install with usb and see if it works
[12:09] <Elico> sec...
[12:09] <TJ-> sh0t: For so many users to be affected, I doubt that. Looks like Realtek haven't provided the driver or technical information for the maintainers to fix it
[12:09] <Elico> is it a M214 or N214?
[12:10] <mikubuntu> Elico: N
[12:11] <sh0t> TJ-, ok...
[12:11] <Elico> it's probably Canada model.
[12:11] <sh0t> anyway the fact that many users have it not functional should imply more a faulty hw  no? But let's hope  it's just sw problems
[12:11] <mikubuntu> Elico: never had any prob with it until now
[12:12] <Elico> well ubuntu requires couple things from the PC..
[12:12] <ArmokGoB> is this chat program working? is this the rigth chanel for getign help with random stuff?
[12:12] <mikubuntu> Elico: but its true, i'm not canadian
[12:12] <TJ-> sh0t: Linux bug 61621 seems to show the problem is with MSIs, and patching their use out appears to be a potential solution: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61621
[12:12] <irgendwer4711> hi, howto setup a simple fileserver with samba4. I dont get running it.
[12:12] <Elico> try to run it using finnix...
[12:12] <Elico> have you ever used finnix?
[12:13] <TJ-> sh0t: ignore ubutto, too sensitive to bug references, and always shows Launchpad bugs matching a number!
[12:13] <irgendwer4711> Elico: me?
[12:13] <Elico> mikubuntu: ..
[12:13] <mikubuntu> Elico: never heard of finnux
[12:13] <sh0t> ok TJ-
[12:14] <Elico> http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=finnix
[12:14] <Elico> irgendwer4711: I would try in a sec to write..
[12:14] <Elico> irgendwer4711: samba4 as far as I can tell is not at the stable stages of the software
[12:14] <k1l_> irgendwer4711: instead of using other distros what is you exact issue?
[12:14] <irgendwer4711> Elico: I do not want a DC
[12:15] <Elico> just a share?
[12:15] <k1l_> !details | irgendwer4711
[12:15] <Elico> k1l_: it is a very simple distro that had tools to check a PC.. and a Server.
[12:15] <irgendwer4711> Elico: samba4 doesnt start: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwbclient.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libauth4.so)
[12:16] <k1l_> Elico: i dont think that helps in this case.
[12:16] <Elico> k1l_: I would not tell you to believe me...
[12:16] <k1l_> irgendwer4711: what ubuntu is it exactly and how did you install that?
[12:16] <irgendwer4711> Elico: 13.10, with apt-get install samba4
[12:16] <mikubuntu> Elico: give me a couple mins to burn
[12:16] <Elico> use a usb mikubuntu ...
[12:17] <TJ-> irgendwer4711: see bug #1244031
[12:17] <TeraJL> i'm editing a file in lib/udev/keymaps/... but how can i add multikeys? like ctrl+s to a scan code?
[12:17] <mikubuntu> Elico: ok --- i took out the lubuntu disk, and tried booting with the usb ubuntustudio -- but it is stuck at the splash screen
[12:17] <Elico> irgendwer4711: well I do see that it is in the tree but I have never used it.. it should be similar to samba3
[12:18] <Elico> mikubuntu: it happens on some PCs
[12:18] <irgendwer4711> TJ-: how could this bug append. its a stable version
[12:18] <Elico> I myself prefer DVD or CD.
[12:18] <Elico> irgendwer4711: I can install a server version of 13.10 and see how it goes. What do you think?
[12:19] <TLoFP> hi, in a comand line only install. Is it possible to switch between one or more terminals?
[12:19] <irgendwer4711> afk
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> TLoFP  to do what?
[12:20] <Elico> "afk" ? what does it means?
[12:20] <TLoFP> just have more then one session open at a time
[12:20] <TLoFP> Elico, away from keyboard
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> Elico  away from keyboard
[12:20] <fidel_> TLoFP: tty or inside a single session consider using screen
[12:20] <Layke> Does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to install KDE?
[12:20] <Layke> http://pastie.org/private/17xkgf9ng0gpwwkx3mp9w
[12:21] <ikonia> Layke: you have screwed up the dependencies
[12:21] <ikonia> Layke: I suspect this is coming from the external repo you added earlier
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> Layke  try kubuntu-desktop
[12:21] <Layke> MonkeyDust, I did
[12:21] <Layke> Same results.
[12:21] <Layke> Slightly different dependency issue
[12:21] <ikonia> why would the meta package fix dependecies ???
[12:21] <ikonia> Layke: you've screwed your machine with that external repo
[12:22] <Layke> ikonia, So, I essentially would need to remove a package that was previously installed
[12:22] <Layke> But no way of knowing what?
[12:22] <ikonia> Layke: you'd need to remove that package and EVERY dependency you installed (and sub depenencies) to meet that
[12:23] <Elico> irgendwer4711: let me know if you need me to install it.
[12:24] <TeraJL> i'm creating a keymap, for a device, if got the scan code, and i want KEY_KEY_LEFTMETA+w , how can i set both of them on one keycode?
[12:24] <TeraJL> *i got the scan code
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> Layke: or kde-standard
[12:26] <Layke> Still the same issue...  http://pastie.org/8671738
[12:26] <Layke> ikonia, Is right I'm sure
[12:26] <Layke> I must have broken my install by installed something from an external repo..?
[12:26] <Layke> These are all my packages

[12:26] <Layke> Not sure how I can find out what I need to remove though?
[12:26] <TJ-> sh0t: The fix of removing the MSIs is in 3.12, so not sure why you're still getting it: "git describe --contains dfb6b7c: v3.12-rc7~20^2~20^2^2~11"
[12:27] <mikubuntu> Elico: i just dragged and dropped finnux file onto the usb, when i put it into the target machine, says no bootable device
[12:28] <mikubuntu> Elico: must it be copied to usb via unetbootin?
[12:28] <Elico> I have used "dd" form the iso file into the USB..
[12:28] <TJ-> Layke: You could try looking in "/var/log/apt/history*". If you can find the package you originally installed from the external repo you should also see a list of all the packages and versions it pulled in, which would allow you to manually remove the same
[12:28] <Elico> but it will erase the usb conetent..
[12:28] <sh0t> TJ-,  I am still here yeah
[12:29] <sh0t> TJ-,  i didn't remove MSIs yet
[12:29] <sh0t> i mean from grub option
[12:29] <TJ-> sh0t: If you're using v3.12 then its already done, as I just showed. The commit was "fb6b7c Mon Sep 30 16:19:28 2013 -0400 Stanislaw Gruszka Revert "rt2x00pci: Use PCI MSIs whenever possible""
[12:30] <mikubuntu> Elico: downloading unetbootin
[12:30] <TJ-> sh0t: oops, sorry, the commit ID got truncated, it is "dfb6b7c"
[12:30] <Elico> ok
[12:30] <irgendwer4711> re
[12:30] <sh0t> TJ-, sorry I don't really know what I should be supposed to do with that ID
[12:31] <irgendwer4711> Elico: you want to try a test installation oaf samb4?
[12:31] <Elico> I will install it using apt-get..
[12:31] <TJ-> sh0t: So, you need to be looking in the log-files ("/var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/kern.log") and reporting any problems reported by the WPA, Network-Manager, or rt2x driver. Be a good idea to add those to the launchpad bug report I pointed you to earlier.
[12:32] <TJ-> sh0t: The ID is information for you, showing that the v3.12 kernel includes the fix of removing MSI usage
[12:32] <irgendwer4711> Elico: just try and select standallone
[12:32] <neoromantique> http://storage9.static.itmages.com/i/14/0126/h_1390765119_5754057_f09cf525d2.png
[12:32] <neoromantique> Guys, I'm completely lost
[12:33] <neoromantique> How do I make sound work in Rakarrack and Jack>
[12:33] <sh0t> ok TJ- by "reporting" you mean reporting to kernel developers
[12:33] <sh0t> ?
[12:33] <mikubuntu> Elico: how do i clear this usb?
[12:33] <Walex> neoromantique: carefully and deliberately :-)
[12:33] <Layke> ikonia, ActionParsnip Was advised to remove libqt and doing so has fixed the issue
[12:34] <Layke> I reinstalling it and the dependencies are correct now
[12:34] <Elico> mikubuntu: clear in what level?
[12:34] <neoromantique> Walex, I'd be rather pleased if you'd bump me into right direction. P.S Output works, aka I can listen to music through Jack sink
[12:34] <Elico> dd can wipe the drive very fast..
[12:35] <TJ-> sh0t: Add that information to the Ubuntu bug #1049466
[12:36] <mikubuntu> Elico: i think i need to clear usb as when i added unetbootin image the target says invalid or corrupt kernel image
[12:36] <Elico> it seems a bit weird..
[12:37] <sh0t> TJ- ok i'll do it even though now it's a bit of a problem since I have not internet on the netbootk with this issue i have to go back home to do that with ethernet
[12:37] <Elico> HO you need to reformat the usb to have a fat32 partition..
[12:37] <Elico> unetbootin is windows..
[12:38] <TJ-> sh0t: that's fine... you need to extract just the relevant failure entries from those logs anyhow, to make it easier to focus on by the developers
[12:40] <quem> good afternoon. installed 12.04.3 on a HP microserver. put in a 3tb drive (gpt, ext4) i've had attached to my laptop through usb2.
[12:40] <quem> and i can't find its partition.
[12:42] <TJ-> quem: what is "it"? The BIOS/UEFI, GRUB ?
[12:42] <mikubuntu> Elico: installing gparted
[12:42] <quem> TJ-: the harddrive.
[12:43] <Elico> mikubuntu: what?
[12:43] <__raven> xsane crash on 13.10: http://pastebin.com/3ua58Fy3 - ideas?
[12:43] <Elico> on what?
[12:43] <quem> TJ-: when i launch parted, it says it has a GPT partition table, but that it's 100% free space
[12:43] <quem> 100% unpartitioned space, i mean.
[12:44] <Elico> irgendwer4711: I have tried to install it on ubuntu server 12.04 but it wont run..
[12:44] <irgendwer4711> Elico: running?
[12:44] <mikubuntu> Elico: i need to format the usb to fat32 you said
[12:45] <Elico> mikubuntu: yes as far as I can tell.. windows has a partition manager for the with a gui..
[12:45] <Elico> irgendwer4711: it will not install properly on my 12.04 so I cannot even test it to run..
[12:45] <Elico> I can reinstall the server with 13.10
[12:46] <Han_nibal> hey, what command line can i use it to know my HDD buffsize (cache)
[12:46] <TJ-> quem: So, the micro-server now has 2 hard drives?
[12:47] <mikubuntu> Elico: why is gparted not recognizing usb drive?
[12:47] <quem> TJ-: it has three harddrives, two 2tb and one 3tb. they were directly connected through usb to my laptop before.. got the HP microserver to use as they made my laptop rather.. unportable.
[12:47] <Elico> it is probably recognizing but not sure what was done until now.
[12:47] <Elico> are you using windows?
[12:48] <Installer> Hi Guys, is it safe to replace unity with Gnome?
[12:48] <mikubuntu> Elico: oh, god no -- doing this from a ubuntustudio i just installed the other day -- thats why i don't have tools like gparted on it yet
[12:49] <TJ-> quem: Sounds as if the boot order is incorrect, assuming you correctly installed GRUB. Is the micro-server BIOS or UEFI, if BIOS, did GRUB install in legacy mode in the GPT with an EF02 boot partition?
[12:49] <Elico> HO then I was sure you were using windows :\
[12:50] <irgendwer4711> Elico: you can do an upgrade, if you want
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> Installer  unity is a shell over gnome, i guess you mean gnome-shell
[12:50] <Installer> MonkeyDust: That's correct
[12:50] <quem> TJ-: good question. I think it's UEFI, and I did the "normal" install as I had grown tired of trying to install with a fawlty usb drive for three hours before it struck me.
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> Installer  i'm using it myself, works like a charm
[12:50] <quem> so I'm not sure how GRUB was installed.
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> Installer  12.04, that is
[12:51] <Installer> I got 13.10
[12:51] <Elico> NO NO I will install it from 0
[12:51] <quem> TJ-: i run the OS off a 16gb USB memory i have connected to its internal usb port.
[12:51] <Elico> quem: usb 1.1 ?
[12:51] <quem> the three SATA drives are strictly for storage.
[12:51] <TJ-> quem: Is the laptop UEFI too? If not, I'd guess GRUB would install in legacy mode, which would mean the micro-server needs to boot using the CSM in legacy mode
[12:51] <quem> Elico: usb 2
[12:51] <Elico> quem: what 16 GB memory?
[12:52] <TJ-> quem: then that definitely sounds like a boot order issue... it's looking at the HDDs first... correct that and it should be fine
[12:52] <mikubuntu> Elico: ok, i found the device partition for the usb in gparted -- how do i erase, reformat?
[12:52] <Elico> mikubuntu: make sure that there is no important data on it... if there is back it up...
[12:52] <quem> TJ-: the laptop is UEFI, but i enabled legacy mode or soemthing like that as I had trouble installing GRUB on it when I installed ubuntu two months ago.
[12:53] <quem> TJ-: i'll try that.
[12:53] <Elico> mikubuntu: if you use dd you dont need to partition..
[12:54] <mikubuntu> Elico: don't know how to use dd
[12:54] <Elico> it's a bit risky but you do have a linux system running so you would not have any troubles later bringing the USB back to place..
[12:54] <Elico> mikubuntu: I will help you if you need some help with it..
[12:55] <mikubuntu> no i just had finnux on it, now i'm going to use unet to replace finnux on the stick (unless you want to walk me thru dd)
[12:55] <Elico> if you want and when you want I'm here
[12:55] <Elico> dd is a pretty simple tool to use
[12:56] <Elico> just make sure you add a "-" at the start of the line before you are sure that the line is ready to be commited..
[12:57] <mikubuntu> Elico: is dd an app? or a commandline process?
[12:57] <Elico> command line tool
[12:57] <pvl1>  after I dd, I mess up my super block, and editing it via hexedit doesn't fix it
[12:57] <Elico> it should be present on any linux system
[12:58] <mikubuntu> Elico: i don't mind trying it
[12:58] <Elico> OK so it's a great tool
[12:58] <mikubuntu> Elico: just open a term, right?
[12:58] <Elico> yes
[12:58] <pvl1> Elico is there a way to edit super block
[12:58] <Elico> what device is the usb at?
[12:58] <Elico> pvl1: superblock for what?
[12:59] <pvl1> ext4 partition
[12:59] <Elico> pvl1: you need more then just to know superblock...
[12:59] <Elico> or to edit..
[12:59] <pvl1> I thought it begins after the first 1024 bytes of a partition
[12:59] <Elico> you better take it out of the drive and see what you can do with it manually and later on edit it..
[13:00] <Elico> pvl1: in most cases it is..
[13:00] <Elico> you can manually override it..
[13:00] <quem> TJ-: the usb flash drive is already set as 1st in the boot priority list.
[13:00] <pvl1> Elico the situation is that im dd'ing a partion larger than the target, but the actual data in source will fit in target
[13:01] <pvl1> doing a dd, errors the superblock
[13:01] <pvl1> on target
[13:01] <Elico> well it's not that important...
[13:01] <Ben64> you can't dd to something that is smaller
[13:01] <Elico> the basic thing to look is to first make sure that the usb and the iso fits each other in all parameters..
[13:01] <TJ-> pvl1: Can you not use "e2fsck -b XXX ..." to specify an alternate superblock?
[13:02] <pvl1> TJ- the problem is that I earlier accidentally did /dev/sdb to sdc rather than sdb1 to sdc1
[13:02] <TJ-> pvl1: ahh, if the target is smaller, you've truncated the file-system
[13:03] <pvl1> yup
[13:03] <Elico> pvl1: this is where it is important to make sure couple things before doing them...
[13:03] <Ben64> yeah, you can go to a larger target, but not smaller. it won't work
[13:03] <pvl1> but iknow that data will fiy
[13:03] <Ben64> just because it "will fit" doesn't mean it will work how you're doing it
[13:03] <pvl1> ugh so should I just shrink partition
[13:03] <Ben64> why not use something like rsync
[13:04] <pvl1> need grub
[13:04] <anuvrat> hi ... I need some help setting up a dhcp server
[13:04] <pvl1> I plan to boot from this
[13:05] <Ben64> yeah so resize the source to be able to fit
[13:05] <MorpHuis> Has any one successfully install ubuntu 13.10 with windows 8.1.
[13:06] <Ben64> !anyone | MorpHuis
[13:06] <pvl1> Ben64 alright thanks
[13:06] <pvl1> can parted shrink?
[13:06] <pvl1> I can only ssh atm
[13:07] <Ben64> yes parted can
[13:07] <pvl1> thanks
[13:08] <quem> TJ-: what do you think of using a later version of ubuntu?
[13:08] <MorpHuis> i tried all the tipes of installation that ubuntu forum offered and are now using it on windows 8.1 via virtual machine
[13:08] <quem> so weird that i can see the drive as 3tb in parted, but it appears as unpartitioned.. sigh.
[13:10] <TJ-> quem: I can't see the version making a difference. It sounds like a boot-order issue, complicated by the system being UEFI and the installation being Legacy. You need to investigate the micro-server configuration tools for that. It should have the option to boot a Legacy install using its Compatibility Support Module
[13:11] <quem> TJ-: i discovered the microserver isn't UEFI. my laptop is though.
[13:12] <TJ-> quem: Well that would make a difference, if you installed GRUB in EFI mode!
[13:12] <quem> how do i check in which manner grub was installed? as i let the installation program do that choice for me.
[13:13] <mikubuntu> Elico: i burned disc of finnux, set boot to cd -- but the machine says no bootable device, just as it did witht he usb
[13:14] <nolka> mother of god! O_o
[13:14] <MorpHuis> list
[13:14] <Elico> then it's something elese
[13:14] <Elico> turn off the machine and eject the battery for about 1 minute..
[13:14] <mikubuntu> ok
[13:15] <TJ-> quem: If you mount the USB device in a PC, and it has an EFI system partition (FAT/vfat with an EFI/ directory with sub-dirs, one of which contains grubx64.efi and similar boot files, it is EFI mode.)
[13:15] <Wiz_KeeD> Guys something bad happened, this is what comes out when I do $PATH
[13:15] <Wiz_KeeD> bash: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games: No such file or directory
[13:15] <Wiz_KeeD> what the hell is wrong with it? :(
[13:15] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: nothing at all
[13:16] <mikubuntu> Elico: unplug ac power also?
[13:16] <Elico> yes
[13:16] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD:  You're asking the shell to execute a path :)
[13:16] <Elico> before the battery..
[13:16] <quem> TJ-: ah, let me check that..
[13:16] <Wiz_KeeD> how  do I print my $PATH?
[13:16] <Wiz_KeeD> with echo right?
[13:16] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: "echo $PATH"
[13:16] <Wiz_KeeD> phew
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> Got scared there for a sec
[13:17] <TJ-> "wiz keed" indeed! :D
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> do not make fun
[13:17]  * Wiz_KeeD sobs
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> XD
[13:18] <Wiz_KeeD> PATH="$_OLD_VIRTUAL_PATH:/opt/dir/bin"  I tried placing this inside the activate file of the python virtual enviroment to no avail
[13:19] <TJ-> Wiz_KeeD: try changing the order, put the inserted path first, if some process other than the one you expect, is being run.
[13:20]  * TJ- has to go ... 2 Huskies want to drag me around the farm!
[13:21] <Wiz_KeeD> haha, nice huskies are awesome
[13:21] <Wiz_KeeD> can you send a pic TJ- ? XD
[13:21] <Wiz_KeeD> lost those critters
[13:22] <sh0t> TJ-, I found an USB WiFi adapater which I'd like to use now instead of my RT3290...it is workign fine but the problem is that now at the boot also wlan0 (RT3290) is set up how do i disble that? (just for now)
[13:23] <mikubuntu> Elico: now should i plug it back in AND put the battery back in?
[13:27] <quem> TJ-: ugh. just connected it through usb to the laptop and it doesn't automount..
[13:28] <quem> anxiety attack.
[13:28]  * quem breathes
[13:28] <Mattias> On ubuntu 13.10, when I install phpunit it also fetche apache2 and starts it. This messes with nginx in an automatic installation and will cause nginx to fail to start when the nginx installation runs. Can you somehow tell the package manager to not pull in apache2 & co? And why would you need that when you use phpunit? What's wrong with php-fpm and php-cli?
[13:28] <Mattias> fetches*
[13:30] <mikubuntu> Elico: u still with me?
[13:35] <mikubuntu> if ever i am on life support, and not responding to treatment -- unplug me. then plug me back in. see if that works.
[13:36] <somsip> Mattias: OT recommendation would be to install phpunit with composer and run it from vendors/bin/phpunit
[13:40] <Mattias> I might just do that if I can't get vagrant to install phpunit with pear.
[13:40] <Kartagis> how do I disable the status notification applet?
[13:40] <repozitor> can define some specific command for specific user in ubuntu?
[13:40] <repozitor> can i*
[13:41] <soryy708> Last time I tried sending to this channel, it said that I cannot send to the channel.
[13:41] <soryy708> I wonder why is that so.
[13:41] <somsip> soryy708: well that just worked ok
[13:41] <soryy708> I can see that. Thanks for confirming, somsip
[13:41] <repozitor> i want to deny all accessing to ping ssh and ...
[13:41] <repozitor> for a specific user
[13:43] <soryy708> I have a problem with KDE-plasma that is in the Ubuntu repository (not kubuntu). Should I ask on #kde or can I ask here?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> repozitor: like an alias of one command (or more) to a single command?
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> !ask | soryy708
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> soryy708: did you install plasma on a default ubuntu install?
[13:44] <soryy708> ActionParsnip: I believe so.
[13:45] <repozitor> ActionParsnip, in my linux, i have group names students, and i would like, student just can use gcc and cat and vim
[13:45] <repozitor> but i don't know how do it!
[13:45] <repozitor> named*
[13:45] <Elico> mikubuntu: here
[13:46] <soryy708> Well, another (possibly related?) issue is with Skype. I don't remember wether I got it from the repository or not though.  Basically, the "remember log in" feature doesn't work (even though the tickbox is ticked, I'm asked to log in again after a reboot). The problem with KDE-plasma is that it seems to forget that I've closed certain windows after I reboot.
[13:47] <TeraJL> i want to install ubuntu LTS, but the new TLS is almost out... should i install ubuntu 13.10 or 12.04 , if i want a more straightforward upgrade to the new LTS? or is the same? should i always do i clean install?
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> TeraJL  choose 12.04
[13:48] <cfhowlett> TeraJL, LTS to LTS install is quite easy.  clean install is recommended but not required.
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> repozitor: just generally, or using sudo?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> TeraJL: use 12.04 and you can upgrade directly to Trusty which is also LTS, in April 2014
[13:49] <TeraJL> thanks :)
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> soryy708: then it is supported by the Ubuntu community :)
[13:49] <Walex> soryy708: you may need to explicitly save the session...
[13:50] <soryy708> Walex: a: How do I do that? b: Why doesn't it do that implicitly?
[13:50] <Walex> TeraJL: I agree, LTS is usually the best choice. With some backports for desktop stuff it is even better.
[13:50] <Walex> soryy708: it may do that implicitly, but session management is not always a reliable thing. It relies on a slightly hairy protocol.
[13:51] <cfhowlett> TeraJL, LTS only means WAY fewer headaches ... unless you truly need the latest, greatest shiny version
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> TeraJL  where "latest" not always means "greatest"
[13:51] <Walex> TeraJL: I personally upgrade LTS with the latest Xorg and KDE from the relevant PPAs, and little else.
[13:53] <soryy708> Ok, short googling seems to have found me a method to explicitly save the session

[13:54] <tomixxx> hi, plz help me ^^
[13:54] <tomixxx> i have two network cards
[13:54] <tomixxx> in one computer
[13:54] <somsip> !enter | tomixxx
[13:55] <Wilkim> Hello
[13:55] <tomixxx> it seems, that one of the network cards does not work because i observed the following: if i connect eth0 (onbard) with the university network, i get an IP and can surfe in the internet, but if i connect eth1 (pci) to the university network, i get NO ip and i CANNOT surf in the internet
[13:56] <Wilkim> I am a noob so I am still new to linux.
[13:56] <tomixxx> so do i simply have sth to configure or is a card broken?
[13:56] <tomixxx> when i hit ifconfig, i can see both ethernet cards
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> tomixxx: what chip does the PCI Ethernet care use?
[13:57] <tomixxx> dunno, where can i see this?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> tomixxx: sudo lshw -C network
