[00:00] <Svetlana> AdityaRaj, what partition do you already have, is the free space allocated or unallocated?
[00:00] <AdityaRaj> Svetlana, it is unallocated
[00:00] <Svetlana> AdityaRaj, perfect. I would expect the installer to grab it and use it then.
[00:01] <AdityaRaj> i dont get that option
[00:01] <AdityaRaj> Svetlana, earlier i remember there used be an option for auto allocation but i cant see that now
[00:02] <Ownix> is it possible to have a bootloader on one drive launch an OS on another drive?
[00:02] <genii> Ownix: Yes.
[00:02] <Ownix> genii: I think I have unintentionally done that...
[00:02] <wilee-nilee> AdityaRaj, Can you run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin it?
[00:03] <skinux> How long should it take rsync to move 5-10G?
[00:04] <AdityaRaj> wilee-nilee, what do you need to knw? i cant paste as it is a diff system
[00:04] <skinux> It's moving from Ubuntu's partition to a second primary partition.
[00:04] <kxtwo> I am trying to download a torrent and when I click ont eh torrent file it is asking me to pick an application.  How do I get it to default to transmission?  This happened to me once randomly before and some one told me but I dont remember
[00:04] <genii> Ownix: A more detailed explanation might help us
[00:05] <wilee-nilee> AdityaRaj, Need the number of partitions and type and whether primary or logical, looke at from linux.
[00:06] <Ownix> genii: okay, give me some time I running through another instal
[00:06] <wilee-nilee> looked*
[00:06] <Svetlana> AdityaRaj, the installer does make use of the unallocated space for you; you don't need to allocate it.
[00:06] <Svetlana> kxtwo, where do you click, in Firefox?
[00:07] <kxtwo> what?
[00:07] <kxtwo> nevermind I got it
[00:07] <Svetlana> Perfect.
[00:07] <kxtwo> not sure what you were asking anyway lol.  Also not sure why the default changed unless a Firefox update changed it.
[00:08] <tbjr> skinux,  it must have taken 10 minutes for me when I recently moved 13 GB from a platter drive to an ssd.  It didn't show a progress bar but I could see the drive light was solid the whole time.
[00:09] <skinux> I'm wondering if I should have started rsync from livecd, but it seemed fine to do it while using the system.
[00:10] <AdityaRaj> Svetlana, it say no root file system is defined !
[00:11] <wilee-nilee> AdityaRaj, If you have 4 partitions already, and it is not gpt, that is the max on primaries.
[00:12] <Noskcaj> How do i set a catalogue location in glade 3.8?
[00:12] <Crazyzurfer> http://i.imgur.com/kEFXsOQ.png ---> don't see my interface correctly, no launcher bar, not close button on apps, etc
[00:13] <Svetlana> AdityaRaj, that would be odd: '/' is the main filesystem and the installer should select that automatically.
[00:14] <aditya_> Svetlana, any idea?
[00:16] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, If you did not see an auto install, I would stop and identify the partition setup, this computer is on the web right?
[00:19] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, yet is on the web
[00:19] <tbjr> I'm trying to use sync in the software center to from an earlier install on the same computer.  Each instance of Ubuntu gives the computer a different name however, the software center doesn't show both "computers".  Sync doesn't require 2 computers to be connected at the same time does it?
[00:19] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Then open gparted take a screen shot and imagebin it
[00:20] <wilee-nilee> !screenshot | aditya_
[00:20] <wilee-nilee> !imagebin | aditya_
[00:20] <wilee-nilee> aditya_ then post the url to it.
[00:23] <aditya_> http://imagebin.org/272967
[00:23] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, check it out
[00:24] <k1l> aditya_: you have not selected where ubuntu should be installed to
[00:24] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Whats in the ntfs?
[00:24] <gdos> i would like to block certain users from using certain applications but not edit the menus, how can i do this? xchat for example.
[00:24] <Guest63120> I've been trying to fix grub2 for 2 hours, can someone help me ?   I've been using Linux for many years, I followed all the guides
[00:24] <Guest63120> I installed Windows and now I can't get grub menu  thus can't boot Ubuntu
[00:25] <k1l> Guest63120: load a ubuntu live-system and reinstall grub
[00:25] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i have selected the freespace and the other ntfs is a partition for my data
[00:25] <wilee-nilee> Guest63120, You tried the bootrepair app? It generates a bootinfo script as well.
[00:26] <Guest63120> k1l, yes that's what im doing but i have some confusions.     First, fdisk -l shows that my Windows NTFS partition is the default boot partition (with a *) - is that normal ?
[00:26] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, strange it shows as sda5 though with nothing in front, can you show gparted it is in the menu?
[00:26] <k1l> Guest63120: grub and linux dont mind the boot flag.
[00:26] <k1l> Guest63120: its just for the windows loader. keep it as it is
[00:27] <Guest63120> I've done a grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb   (where /mnt is my Linux root partition) - it completed fine
[00:27] <Guest63120> It ran grub-update fine
[00:27] <Guest63120> but upon reboot I just get the windows booting, no menu nothing
[00:27] <k1l> Guest63120: sdb is the 2nd hdd. which doesnt get asked first after a bootloader
[00:27] <wilee-nilee> Guest63120, you booting sdb first from the bios?
[00:27] <Guest63120> oh wait
[00:27] <Guest63120> omg I forgot I had an ssd that I boot from -_-
[00:28] <Guest63120> ok let me check lol, thanks :)
[00:28] <yellow_no_5> Does anyone know how to map a network share in Ubuntu?
[00:28] <k1l> grub needs to sit in the MBR from the first hdd that gets booted
[00:28] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i dont have gpated
[00:29] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, do you still need that fdisk output? what was the command again?
[00:29] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, What is the version of ubuntu you have booted, they all have gparted on board the live cd.
[00:29] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, sudo fdisk -l
[00:30] <Guest63120> thank you guys, gonna reboot now it should work finally.  what a dumb thing i forgot the other drive :D
[00:30] <Guest63120> cya
[00:33] <KurtKraut> Svetlana, the commands you shown are only valid if the binary is already installed in the system. That wasn't my case.
[00:34] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, this is 12.04 lts
[00:35] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Something is strange, what did you use to make that area unallocated, had you used linux, the one partition should not show a logical with out a extended, and the number is to high for a single partition
[00:35] <aditya_> i deleted an existing partition
[00:36] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, with what?
[00:36] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/XEJDZRS
[00:36] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i used the installer
[00:37] <aditya_> wow i do have gparted. sorry about that
[00:37] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, do you still need its screenshot?
[00:37] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Your pastebin  was removed. Never the less the numbering is funky, something is up.
[00:38] <wilee-nilee> I'm not sure the installer renumbers partitions like gparted does
[00:38] <wilee-nilee> automatically with a delete.
[00:38] <ice9> how to get the pixel shader and opengl version?
[00:39] <Guest85262> hi
[00:39] <chaotic_good> what is command to upgrade from 11 to 12?
[00:39] <Guest85262> change name
[00:39] <wilee-nilee> !eol  | chaotic_good
[00:39] <genii> Guest85262: /nick newname
[00:39] <wilee-nilee> chaotic_good, read the upgrades link
[00:39] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, let me try again
[00:40] <Guest85262> aditya
[00:40] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, what site should i use to make the paste?
[00:41] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, the fdisk is not really important, you have a problem with that sda5, the installer would balk at this the numbering is wrong.
[00:42] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, A sda5 would be inside a extended partition normally, can explain why it is not?
[00:43] <wilee-nilee> unless there was a gpt setup which there is no sign of so far
[00:43] <raed> hello guys this err msg appear to me failed to download repository
[00:43] <reisio> wilee-nilee: why would it balk?
[00:43] <young_> 大家好
[00:43] <wilee-nilee> reisio, Have you looked at the install picture?
[00:44] <reisio> nope
[00:44] <reisio> young_: hi
[00:44] <young_> hi
[00:44] <wilee-nilee> reisio, http://imagebin.org/272967
[00:44] <reisio> hi again :)
[00:44] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, not sure
[00:44] <pushpop> whats the best gui available to manage iptables?
[00:44] <young_> where are you?
[00:44] <young_> reisio, hi
[00:44] <young_> reisio ,where are you?
[00:44] <reisio> pushpop: could try ufw
[00:44] <reisio> young_: right here
[00:45] <reisio> wilee-nilee: the window certainly seems upset, but not about it being sda5
[00:45] <reisio> don't mean to butt in, just piqued my curiosity
[00:46] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203057
[00:47] <young_> reisio, Ubuntu有在线音乐和视频播软件吗？
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, the fdisk shows different than you installer.
[00:48] <wilee-nilee> your*
[00:48] <reisio> young_: yes
[00:48] <reisio> young_: #ubuntu-cn
[00:49] <young_> reisio, thank you!
[00:49] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, what do you suggest?
[00:51] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, close the installer and open gparted, take a screen shot and imagebin it. It looks like you tried to remove sda1, that is okay, if you have no windows to boot, however sda2 is the extended that sda5 is inside of.
[00:51] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, In the installer shot you show no sda2
[00:52] <chaotic_good> ok eol 11?
[00:52] <chaotic_good> 11 to 12?
[00:52] <chaotic_good> how upgrade?
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> chaotic_good, You have to make a new sources.list kit is in that link from the bot.
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> it*
[00:53] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, there is a pen drive connected that i am using to install ubuntu
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, and?
[00:54] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, I see the pendrive in the fdisk, if you do not understand tell me, it is okay, we want to make no mistakes.
[00:55] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i am not sure.. i just want to install ubuntu
[00:56] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Right and with the way the installer does not jibe with the fdisk means we need to look at the HD with gparted, to confirm you still hace the partions the fdisk shows but the installer does not.
[00:57] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, should i share gparted screenshot?
[00:57] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, gparted is in the menu, open it hit the prtsc key and imagebin it
[00:58] <wilee-nilee> yes
[00:58] <wilee-nilee> nothing private there if that's the concern
[00:58] <raven_> How do I make a shortcut to a wine program on the desktop
[00:59] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, http://imagebin.org/272969
[00:59] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Thats good is the installer closed?
[01:00] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, no the installer is still running
[01:00] <reisio> raven_: just make a .desktop launcher, and have it run wine path/to/executable
[01:00] <reisio> raven_: with WINEPREFIX, if you have more than one
[01:00] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, close the installer, you have no unallocated space, we will do that in gparted, then it should install.
[01:00] <raven_> reisio can I send you a PM
[01:00] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, done
[01:01] <reisio> raven_: don't see why not
[01:01] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Coo just right click sda1 only and delete, leave sda2 alone it has to stay.
[01:01] <wilee-nilee> Cool*
[01:02] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, I assume you have no widows to boot right?
[01:02] <wilee-nilee> windows*
[01:03] <Titanium> I installed the binary AMD GPU driver from their site, and now when I login I get the background and nothing else. I used to get that error screen about the GPU not working before I installed the driver. I can right click on background and go to settings but cannot get to the terminal
[01:03] <Titanium> i enabled ssh
[01:03] <Titanium> Where do I look or how do i fix this?
[01:04] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i want to confirm what is on sda1 how can i do that?
[01:04] <aditya_> it is not mounted at the moment
[01:04] <wilee-nilee> Titanium, generally your best to use what is in the repos.
[01:04] <aditya_> and i cant find an option to do that on gparted interface
[01:04] <milamber> Titanium: not sure what you are asking, but ctrl + alt + t will get you a virtual terminal, to go to the actual console it's ctrl + alt + f2, ctrl + alt + f7 to get back
[01:05] <Freel0ader> hi
[01:05] <Freel0ader> i have an iso
[01:05] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, right click the sda1 partition "the image" of it and click delete, then hit the green check mark to run it.
[01:05] <Freel0ader> ubuntu desktop
[01:05] <Freel0ader> can i stick it on a usb stick without formatting stick?
[01:05] <wilee-nilee> Freel0ader, yep dd it
[01:06] <Freel0ader> will it format stick?
[01:06] <wilee-nilee> nope
[01:06] <Titanium> wilee-nilee those do not work at all
[01:06] <reisio> Freel0ader: insofar as it will copy an FS to the stick, yes
[01:06] <milamber> Freel0ader: what was on there won't be available any more
[01:06] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i just want to  be sure i am not deleting a wrong partition as with installer i deleted a partion of 21 gb
[01:06] <Titanium> milamber thank you that helps a lot!
[01:06] <wilee-nilee> Titanium, Are you sure is all I can say, and in what circumstances?
[01:06] <Freel0ader> milamber, so should i copy everything off of stick
[01:06] <Freel0ader> then dd it
[01:06] <Freel0ader> then put everything on stick?
[01:07] <Titanium> i tried all day yesterday with the ones from repos and the default ones
[01:07] <Titanium> the ones i wgetted from amd's site worked perfect the first time, then I tried to install wine and it did this
[01:07] <Titanium> wilee-nilee then I re-intalled ubuntu and it still is doing this
[01:07] <milamber> Freel0ader: anything you want off the stick should be copied before you dd the iso
[01:07] <milamber> Titanium: np
[01:07] <Freel0ader> oh?
[01:08] <Freel0ader> oh right
[01:08] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, With the installer you tried to delete sda1 and sda2 you can't delete sda2 without removing sda5 first. The window at the bottom of gparted tells you what you are doing once you have chosen.
[01:08] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, You want to keep sda2 and sda5 and just remove sda1.
[01:10] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, ok done
[01:10] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Yuu will have no swap, unless you resize the sda5 as well, you only can put one primary in that space, and have the partition numbers be in numerical order going up from left to right.
[01:10] <ice9> does ubuntu runs nice with AMD processors on laptops?
[01:10] <reisio> there even data on there?
[01:10] <reisio> ice9: yup
[01:11] <ice9> reisio, better than intel or same?
[01:11] <Freel0ader> ok friends
[01:11] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, you can install now, and it should give you the option in the gui, not the something else choice, no swap though if asked.
[01:11] <Freel0ader>   is my thumb drive/dev/sdb1
[01:11] <reisio> ice9: mmm, it's probably close enough that it'd be incredibly hard to measure a difference
[01:11] <reisio> ice9: they're all supported very well
[01:11] <reisio> ice9: in case you didn't know, no OS supports more hardware than GNU/Linux
[01:12] <ice9> reisio, and what is the best supported graphics card?
[01:12] <buu> Is there anyway CLI way to interrogate your wireless card and ask it for exact specifications, specifically max speed and so on?
[01:12] <reisio> ice9: the best is probably intel graphics, but that also tends to not be the most impressive :)
[01:12] <reisio> ice9: amd/ati and nvidia graphics are both well supported for most devices
[01:12] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, ok i am shrinking sda5 to free up space. its taking some time
[01:13] <wilee-nilee> Titanium, Did you ever check the additional drivers?
[01:13] <reisio> aditya_: is there data on sda5?
[01:13] <wilee-nilee> reisio, Yeah they want to keep it.
[01:13] <aditya_> reisio, yes about 20 gb
[01:13] <reisio> 20gb wouldn't take long to copy elsewhere
[01:14] <wilee-nilee> thats a windows generated extended, yeah I would re do that hd myself
[01:14] <aditya_> reisio, i would   do that as last resort
[01:14] <reisio> :)
[01:15] <reisio> probably a lot less compressed, too
[01:16] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, You would be best served if you copied it off, and redid the HD, so you would have the right space for ubuntu and a swap, and the ntfs.
[01:16] <reisio> having a copy of something would make it 100% safe as well
[01:16] <reisio> resizing is more like 90% safe
[01:17] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, ok i will do that
[01:17] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Cool, good idea, thanks for you help reisio
[01:17] <wilee-nilee> your*
[01:18] <Freel0ader> aww man
[01:18] <Freel0ader> my laptop doesnt have option for usb boot
[01:18] <reisio> Freel0ader: you sure? Is it quite old?
[01:18] <Freel0ader> no, not at all
[01:18] <gmachine_24> Hello. I want to extract a series of zip files but each one to its own folder using cli; I can't figure out the arguments to use . . . after "unzip" . . .
[01:18] <reisio> then it probably has
[01:18] <wilee-nilee> Freel0ader, You could try plop.
[01:19] <Freel0ader> but there's nothing in the bios about it
[01:19] <reisio> Freel0ader: how about the boot menu?
[01:19] <Freel0ader> inspiron laptop, core i5
[01:19] <wilee-nilee> Freel0ader, without it formatted it may not see it, not sure really.
[01:19] <reisio> gmachine_24: -d
[01:19] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, but i am unable to mount sda5
[01:19] <reisio> for i in *.zip; do unzip "$i" -d "${i%.zip}"; done
[01:19] <reisio> something like that
[01:20] <Freel0ader> im saying i dont see an option
[01:20] <gmachine_24> reisio: as in uzip *zip -d   ??
[01:20] <gmachine_24> oh
[01:20] <gmachine_24> OK I will try this
[01:20] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, You ran the delete with the green check in gparted? and close it?
[01:21] <wooby> I am usung 12.04 and btrfs for /
[01:21] <wooby> I got an ugly folder called @ that I want to get rid of. I learned that it is a subvolume
[01:21] <wooby> can I remove that?
[01:21] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, i need to mount the parition first to copy the content right
[01:21] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Can you answer the question?
[01:22] <aditya_> wilee-nilee, sorry about that yeah i deleted it with green check mark but i dont remember if i closed it or not
[01:22] <reisio> gmachine_24: this is even better: find . -iname '*.zip' -exec sh -c 'unzip {} -d $(basename -s .zip {})' \;
[01:22] <gmachine_24> reisio: I get an error that says "filename not matched"
[01:23] <wilee-nilee> aditya_, Close it, then mount sda5 from home in the left panel.
[01:23] <aditya_> i am rebooting the system now
[01:23] <reisio> gmachine_24: sounds like you didn't use the command I gave you :)
[01:23] <gmachine_24> reisio: thanks but I get this error message sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

[01:31] <gmachine_24> reisio: yeah. I can easily do this with the archive extractor but wanted to learn how using cli; at the moment it has taken up too much of my time though. thanks for your trouble.
[01:31] <sybariten> good evening (night)
[01:31] <reisio> Freel0ader: pardon?
[01:32] <sybariten> i'm using a ubuntu 12 live system, and i'm trying to install a package called live-magic but i'm failing

[01:32] <sybariten> (to find it) ....  i think its supposed to be inthe universe repositories
[01:32] <Titanium> wilee-nilee how do I check additional divers?
[01:32] <Freel0ader> what to do?
[01:32] <daftykins> sybariten: did you enable them?
[01:32] <sybariten> any ideas? i'm just doing sudo apg-get install live-magic
[01:33] <Freel0ader> i dd'd the iso to usb
[01:33] <sybariten> daftykins: hm yeah i believe i did, via the graphical tool....  then i did a sudo apt-get update
[01:33] <Freel0ader> but fdisk says this
[01:33] <Freel0ader>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[01:33] <Freel0ader> /dev/sdb1   *          64     1447935      723936   17  Hidden HPFS/NTFS
[01:33] <reisio> Freel0ader: that does not appear to be a problem to me
[01:33] <aditya_> what is the fastest way to transfer a single 20 gb file over network to another ubuntu system?
[01:33] <reisio> Freel0ader: a problem would be if it didn't boot up
[01:34] <Freel0ader> i cant mount it either
[01:34] <reisio> aditya_: scp is the most straightforward way
[01:34] <sybariten> daftykins: for instance i can search the pakckage chromium now after i enabled the universe repos, which i cant do directly from boot. So something has improved.
[01:34] <reisio> aditya_: scp path/to/file user@ip.ip.ip.ip:optional/path/optionalFileName
[01:34] <aditya_> reisio, i am using scp but it says it will take 2 hours +
[01:34] <reisio> aditya_: well even faster ways aren't likely to make it much more faster, sounds like a big file
[01:34] <daftykins> !info live-magic
[01:35] <Freel0ader> scratchthat
[01:35] <aditya_> crap
[01:35] <Freel0ader> i can mount it
[01:35] <sybariten> daftykins: hm, whats raring ?  (except for a funny word in swedish)
[01:35] <daftykins> reisio: that's not true, samba would drop the encryption and go disk speed to disk speed, assuming gigabit
[01:35] <daftykins> sybariten: ubuntu 13.04
[01:35] <aditya_> reisio, i am using local network but it is still showing me upload speed of 2.5 mb/sec is there a limit on scp?
[01:36] <reisio> daftykins: that's quite an assumption
[01:36] <sybariten> daftykins: ok i think i'm on 12....
[01:36] <daftykins> reisio: it is? doesn't seem so in my years of networking D:
[01:36]  * reisio shrugs
[01:37] <daftykins> sybariten: can you pastebin the /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[01:38] <Freel0ader> http://askubuntu.com/questions/231671/cant-boot-ubuntu-12-10-from-usb-key-on-dell-inspiron-15r-5520-2012-model
[01:38] <Freel0ader> was i supposed to dd?
[01:38] <reisio> Freel0ader: supposed to? You just said you had
[01:38] <daftykins> Freel0ader: the fact it says it's hidden is suspect. use gparted to unhide the partition and check the boot flag
[01:38] <Freel0ader> got it
[01:39] <Freel0ader> booting now
[01:39] <sybariten> daftykins: bien sur
[01:40] <raven_> having more trouble with ubuntu..
[01:40] <raven_> does ubuntu use pulseaudio?
[01:40] <reisio> raven_: yes
[01:40] <raven_> ah reisio
[01:40] <sybariten> http://pastebin.com/qDvyg0xt  there you go daftykins
[01:40] <raven_> surely you can help me
[01:41] <raven_> reisio are you familiar with pavucontrol
[01:41] <reisio> raven_: I'm familiar with its existence :p
[01:41] <reisio> I don't use pulse, personally
[01:41] <raven_> reisio why not?
[01:41] <gdos> not a programming question, per se, but a question about ubuntu in general; i am attempting to compile a program using g++ and get the following error: ARCADE.C:12:46: fatal error: conio.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
[01:41] <Equs> sybariten: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/universe/base/live-magic
[01:42] <arquebus> I installed ubuntu on my new asus laptop and networking wont work. Can someone refer me to info on how I go about getting it to work?
[01:42] <Svetlana> arquebus, wired or wireless?
[01:42] <reisio> arquebus: wireless?
[01:42] <Svetlana> Assuming, assuming. :)
[01:44] <raven_> under ubuntu 12.04 I'm continually having audio problems.. in particular skype gets no input from my webcam microphone
[01:44] <postmodern> is there a ubuntu tar image I can uncompress and chroot into?
[01:44] <arquebus> Svetlana:  reisio: wireless
[01:44] <daftykins> sybariten: hrmm that all looks fine, i don't understand that i'm afraid. but i'm certainly not super experienced
[01:44] <sybariten> daftykins: do you find it yourself if you do an apt-cache search?
[01:45] <Freel0ader> is there an ubuntu that fits on a cd instead of a 750mb file that requires a dvd?
[01:45] <sybariten> Equs: hm, so if i understand correctly it has been removed, for some reason
[01:45] <Equs> sybariten:   it would seem so
[01:45] <reisio> Freel0ader: yes, it's called the 'minimalcd'
[01:46] <reisio> postmodern: look into debootstrap
[01:46] <daftykins> sybariten: i'm not currently on a 12.04 install, so i can't confirm unfortunately
[01:46] <sybariten> daftykins: no, but in a later one
[01:46] <daftykins> i'm actually in older right now :)
[01:47] <daftykins> 10.04.4
[01:47] <daftykins> $ apt-cache search live-magic
[01:47] <daftykins> live-magic - GUI frontend to create Debian LiveCDs, netboot images, etc.
[01:47] <daftykins> it's here though
[01:48] <sybariten> daftykins: ah. Well lucky you then!
[01:48] <genii> Interesting.
[01:48] <sybariten> ;)
[01:48] <daftykins> ^_^
[01:48] <Equs> live -magic is gone from the debian repos as well
[01:49] <sybariten> hmmm
[01:50] <sybariten> i have managed to download something via git
[01:50] <Svetlana> That will not be handled by Ubuntu's update manager.
[01:50] <Equs> well not totally true     source code is there    no packages
[01:50] <sybariten> According to these instructions  https://chris-lamb.co.uk/projects/live-magic    but i seem to be missing some python components when trying to run it right away, so i'm probably in Dependency Hell (TM)
[01:51] <Svetlana> If you do it using git the Ubuntu's software manager will not handle the dependencies for you.
[01:51] <Svetlana> You'll have to read the documentation which the package maintainer already read and processed, and install the dependencies manually, unless the software has a script.
[01:52] <milamber> sybariten: are you familiar with apt-file   ?
[01:52] <sybariten> Svetlana: no no, ofcourse not
[01:53] <Guest31917> hi everyone, someone here been in bodybuilding since the late 80's and currently still active?
[01:53] <sybariten> Svetlana: but theres nothgin like some banging-your-head-against-a-wall at 03:50 a sunday/monday night
[01:53] <sybariten> Guest31917: haha now thats the most random question ive seen on freenode , i think
[01:54] <sybariten> milamber: nope...?
[01:54] <Guest31917> i know
[01:54] <sybariten> Guest31917: seriously, why #ubuntu? just because its big?
[01:54] <Guest31917> it is big but totally diferent
[01:55] <pfifo> #defocus is big and might actuall be a legit place to ask
[01:55] <milamber> sybariten: when compiling source, it is your friend: apt-file search <file name or library you are missing>
[01:56] <sybariten> pfifo: they can be kinda wankers sometimes though and to be honest its often less active than this one... like most chans
[01:56] <sybariten> milamber: aha ok, wort a try
[01:56] <sybariten> thanks
[01:57] <milamber> sybariten: sudo apt-get install apt-file && apt-file update
[01:57] <pfifo> sybariten: when compiling from source 'apt-get build-dep' isa good friend too
[01:57] <milamber> sybariten: also, apt-cache search and then piping into grep is also helpful
[02:06] <sybariten> milamber: pfifo : ok!
[02:07] <Svetlana> sybariten, what are you trying to do, submit them a patch? Or just install a latest version?
[02:11] <pfifo> today I picked up my 90 day chip at AA
[02:11] <PeNNyWiSE182_> grats
[02:12] <pfifo> that wasnt meant for here, but thanks, lol
[02:12] <PeNNyWiSE182_> lol
[02:12] <PeNNyWiSE182_> figured as much, but well done!
[02:12] <wilee-nilee> pfifo, Good for you I was just thinking of watching the Bill W movie, he and the partner were fans of Carl Jung.
[02:13] <wilee-nilee> AA is a jungian institute to some extent, in some interpretations
[02:14] <Freel0ader> ok i booted ubuntu desktop
[02:14] <Freel0ader> i cant find a terminal anywhere
[02:14] <Freel0ader> how do i open a terminal?
[02:14] <wilee-nilee> Freel0ader, ctrl-alt-t
[02:15] <doug__> hi
[02:15] <wilee-nilee> Freel0ader, If this is unity the top button is access
[02:15] <Freel0ader> what's the default root pw?
[02:15] <Freel0ader> oh sudo
[02:16] <wilee-nilee> Freel0ader, there is not one, on the live or install, just a users password.
[02:16] <pfifo> Freel0ader: a randomized string
[02:17] <wilee-nilee> !sudo | Freel0ader
[02:19] <buu> Anyone have some tips about how to query the cabilities of my wireless card, what exactly its capable of, what its connected at, why its doing what its doing?
[02:19] <buu> Preferably cli
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> the various iw* tools buu
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> iwlist  and so forth
[02:19] <buu> Dr_Willis: I've been looking at iwconfig and iwist
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> check their mnan pages - they mantion some other commands  as 'related commands'
[02:20] <buu> Just says "Bit Rate=65MB/s"
[02:20] <buu> er, Mb
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> iw<tab> shows several other iw* tools here
[02:22] <genii> buu: Try sudo ethtool -k <interfacename>
[02:23] <buu> genii: Well, that gives me a lot of settings
[02:23] <buu> I suppose I should rephrase my initial question here, how can I improve the speed of my wireless connection from a ubuntu laptop?
[02:23] <buu> That's my ultimate goal here
[02:24] <buu> Right now a simple wget is maxing out at around 65Mb/s
[02:24] <sybariten> Svetlana: oh im just trying to run this tool, live-magic
[02:24] <pfifo> buu: make sure your not using the same channel as your neghibors
[02:24] <buu> pfifo: Would that matter even if I was next to the router?
[02:25] <sybariten> i've actually managed to start live-magic now....  but appearently ttheres something called live-helper thats necessary "under the hood" so it will just stall when trying to do an operation
[02:25] <pfifo> buu: possibly... can you get better speed using a different distro or OS
[02:25] <sybariten> and it seems as if live-helper isnt in my repos either...  :-/
[02:27] <Equs> sybariten: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-helper
[02:27] <pfifo> !info live-magic
[02:27] <pfifo> !info live-magic precise
[02:28] <tet_> Hello?
[02:28] <daftykins> tet_: hi
[02:28] <Equs> sybariten:    seems you are trying to use an old and now unsupported  program
[02:28] <Slade-> wtf is this nginx version: nginx/1.2.6 (Ubuntu)  did ubuntu start changing version numbers on things?
[02:28] <Svetlana> pfifo, it should be interesting to know why Ubuntu folks deleted this package from the repository. http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/universe/base/live-magic says so.
[02:29] <daftykins> Slade-: it's hard to tell where you're taking that from
[02:29] <Slade-> daftykins: /usr/sbin/nginx -v
[02:29] <pfifo> Svetlana: buggy and unmaintained, was copied from oneiric... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/live-magic/1.14
[02:29] <Svetlana> !info nginx
[02:29] <Slade-> yea. whats the real version
[02:30] <Svetlana> Slade-: ^^^^ this is the version. It does have a 'ubuntu' bit but is otherwise consistent with what software version the package contains.
[02:30] <Slade-> Svetlana: doubt it
[02:30] <Slade-> unless they suddenly dropped a major release between updates (I just upgraded to new version of ubuntu)
[02:31] <Svetlana> Could be.
[02:31] <Svetlana> !info nginx precise
[02:31] <tet_> Hey, is it possible I get some install help?
[02:31] <Svetlana> !info nginx oneiric
[02:31]  * Svetlana sighs.
[02:31] <wilee-nilee> Slade-, For the record acronyms for swearing phrases are not allowed here
[02:32] <Svetlana> !info nginx quantal
[02:32] <Slade-> wilee-nilee: k
[02:32] <Svetlana> Slade-,from precise to quantal, they changed from 1.1.19 to 1.2.1.
[02:33] <Slade-> Svetlana: hmm would it have overridden my self installed copy of nginx?
[02:33] <Slade-> trying to figure out how i lost websocket support running a do-upgrade-release..  (1.3 minimum version)
[02:33] <Svetlana> I would expect that to go to a different directory. A very primitive way to check could be to try running 'locate nginx'. (I think user-installed things would go to /usr/local/ in some cases.)
[02:34] <Slade-> guess i'll poke around. very odd.. thanks for info
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> self installed - as in compiled from source?
[02:38] <The_Acid_Toy> how do i set multiple ipv6 addresses in ubuntu
[02:38] <cfhowlett> !ipv6|The_Acid_Toy,
[02:38] <The_Acid_Toy> when i try and make a alias interface and restart i get this error
[02:39] <The_Acid_Toy> error: "net.ipv6.conf.eth0:2.autoconf" is an unknown key
[02:39] <jpds> The_Acid_Toy: Why make an alaias? An interface itself can have multiple addresses.
[02:39] <The_Acid_Toy> how?
[02:40] <cfhowlett> The_Acid_Toy, see the link ...
[02:40] <The_Acid_Toy> i am
[02:40] <cfhowlett> The_Acid_Toy, also sounds like a possible question for #ubuntu-server
[02:40] <The_Acid_Toy> thanks i will try there
[02:41] <pura> hloo
[02:41] <reisio> 'lo
[02:45] <comptroller> I am having a trouble with Teeworlds.  Whenever I open the game it takes up both of my monitors (which are of different resolutions) and I can't get it confined just to my primary (higher resolution monitor).  I also can't quit and need to restart to exit. I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 and am using  open source drivers. What should I do?
[02:46] <cfhowlett> !saucy|comptroller,
[03:06] <TripSec> Anyone not afk?
[03:07] <HaltingState> if i do the 13.10 beta will it upgrade to release automatically when its ready?
[03:07] <bazhang> !final | HaltingState
[03:08] <TripSec> am I able to use piratebay with ktorrent?
[03:08] <cfhowlett> TripSec, ktorrent will download torrents ... source agnostic. so ... yes
[03:09] <TripSec> I can't get the torrent to come up in ktorrent when I select the magnet in piratebay
[03:10] <buu> TripSec: select it? What exact steps are you taking?
[03:11] <cjwelborn> it's supposed to automatically start ktorrent, which it does. but it never starts the download. it gets stuck on 'examining magnet link'. at least, that's what I have seen. Its not just piratebay, the magnet link I was clicking was from a different source.
[03:12] <TripSec> I go to the specific torrent, then try to get the magnet link and the launch application window appears and asks to choose and application but once i select ktorrent nothing happens
[03:12] <buu> TripSec: Can you manually start ktorrent and copy the magnet link into it?
[03:12] <cfhowlett> TripSec, test: install a different torrent handler - transmission.  try that instead
[03:13] <TripSec> I did, I also tried qbittorrent and they all do the same
[03:13] <cfhowlett> TripSec, and non PB torrents?
[03:13] <buu> TripSec: I mean, does it work when you do it that way?
[03:13] <buu> Manually start then add
[03:14] <TripSec> I'll try
[03:14] <TripSec> but yes non pb torrent also
[03:15] <cfhowlett> TripSec, so you get no torrents.  Could it be a router block?  try a different internet input
[03:18] <Slade-> !info nginx saucy
[03:18] <Slade-> hmm
[03:18] <TripSec> cfhowlett, still same results
[03:19] <Slade-> wonder if i can install that safely
[03:19] <Dr_Willis> mixing packages from differntre releases is not a good idea
[03:19] <postmodern> trying to use debootstrap to setup a testing chroot, i used --variant=buildd but after schroot'ing in apt-get cannot be found?
[03:19] <cfhowlett> TripSec, seems to me your torrents capability is blocked somehow.  I assume it worked and then it stopped?  what changed?
[03:21] <Slade-> yea. guess i'll just use the packages from the nginx site
[03:22] <Slade-> no idea where my previouis version went
[03:23] <TripSec> cfhowlett, this is the first time tryin to dl a torrent on ubuntu. I usually use utorrent with windows on my laptop
[03:24] <Svetlana> Slade-, if you use packages from the nginx site without a PPA you will have to manually update them I suspect.
[03:24] <Slade-> Svetlana: yea i just dont know where my previous version went
[03:24] <Slade-> i'm over it for now, just trying to get it back
[03:25] <Slade-> cant overwrite the previous version with the one from the site either
[03:26] <cfhowlett> TripSec,  try this: purge and reinstall the apps.  make sure you kill the .hidden configuration files in your /home
[03:34] <Valdus> all: is clamtk the best virus scanner for ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[03:34] <Svetlana> Whatever GUI you choose, it is clamav and is good.
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> Valdus:  best is to use several differnt scanners. to reduce  false positives and more possible hits
[03:35] <Svetlana> Good point.
[03:35] <cfhowlett> !virus|Valdus,
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> Valdus:  you do realize that  the main task of av softwer  is to scan for windows viruses in files. :)
[03:35] <Paulus68_1> is there a channel specific for ubuntu server related questions?
[03:35] <Svetlana> Yes. #ubuntu-server
[03:35] <Valdus> Dr_Willis: i didn't know that, but tanks for letting me know haha
[03:35] <Valdus> Dr_Willis: do you have any suggestions for other scanner to use?
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> Valdus:  so i imagine if you re not acnning windows files.. then you dont need av software on linux
[03:36] <jamie_> can anyone tell me the most popular distro of linux? is it Unity? kde?
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> Valdus:  if you are worried about viruses on liniux.. theres not much to worry about
[03:36] <daftykins> jamie_: distrowatch.org
[03:36] <Svetlana> Valdus, note what ubottu told you; it answers the question somewhat.
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> jamie_:  Unity and KDE are desktop - not disrtos
[03:36] <jamie_> what's the most popular desktop then ?
[03:37] <Valdus> Svetlana: yeah, makes sense
[03:37] <Valdus> So if i don't use something like wine then i don't have anything to worry about?
[03:37] <cfhowlett> jamie_, unity but ... who cares?  what do YOU need it to and what are YOUR preferences.  configuring your device based on popularity and public opinion is just lazy.
[03:37] <jamie_> cfhowlett: i care, that's why i'm asking
[03:38] <Ari-Yang> !de
[03:38] <Ari-Yang> !desktop
[03:39] <bwayne> compiling my own kernel just for fun. i've gone through menuconfig and removed stuff I don't want. However, when I make I still see these modules being compiled. I was thinking that if I deselecte them then they wouldn't be included in the kernel. So why are they being compiled?
[03:43] <Slade-> which mailx package is recommended? seems to be 3
[03:44] <TripSec> cfhowlett, i got it working. Thanks for your help
[03:45] <cfhowlett> TripSec, how?  what was the fix?
[03:46] <bwayne> Slade-: it depends on how feature rich you want your MUA to be. heirloom-mailx is more feature-rich.
[03:47] <Slade-> bwayne: nah just need basic
[03:47] <Slade-> i'll use it tho. its small
[03:48] <TripSec> cfhowlett, first purged and reinstalled apps, killed .hidden config in home like you said and went into firefox prefrences, applications, then went to magnet and selected transmission-gtk to use with them
[03:48] <cfhowlett> TripSec, ok then.  Glad it all worked out.  Be safe, have fun.
[03:48] <TripSec> Thanks man, you too.
[03:54] <raven_> hello everyone, here are my issues. On Ubuntu 12.04 I get no sound from Google Chrome at all. Additionally flash videos, such as youtube videos, start playing and then stop playing only a few seconds into the video. Also with the google music web app in chrome the songs do not start playing at all, they stay at 00:00.
[03:55] <bwayne> raven_: do you have sound from local files?
[03:56] <raven_> bwayne well I have sound from skype I'm on a call right now
[03:56] <TripSec> raven_ , have you tried to see if it worked on firefox?
[03:58] <raven_> how do I killall firefox
[03:58] <raven_> youtube force closed it I wanna try it one once more though
[03:58] <wilee-nilee> raven_, with killall firefox
[03:59] <raven_> no that doesn't work
[03:59] <raven_> it's something like killall mozilla firefox
[04:00] <raven_> interesting... so I opened youtube in Opera and it played a video, but it was muted in the applet. Soon as I brought the volume up the video stopped playing and froze
[04:01] <cfhowlett> raven_, updated lately?
[04:02] <raven_> cfhowlett updated what? apt?
[04:03] <cfhowlett> raven_, thinking that perhaps you're using some outdated packages.  open a terminal and run the following to get all your packages updated:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:04] <raven_> cfhowlett I can try but the install is fresh as of this morning
[04:06] <wilee-nilee> raven_, works everytime here.
[04:06] <cfhowlett> raven_, what version?  and did you install restricted extras?
[04:11] <ak5> hi! Can I get dpkg -i to behave so that it doesn't install if it is already installed?
[04:13] <xmetal> oops forgot i logged in here lol ... got side-tracked studying
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.m Getting wifi disconnecting for somtning lately. :(
[04:20] <xmetal> (i know i am latel) but for raven, I'd run the package manager and get the latest updates for Opera (if thats the browser you like best or use most...w/e) and flash updates
[04:20] <xmetal> back to studying :)
[04:30] <Paulus68_1> lag is killing me
[04:33] <newuser> which uses less battery power - lan or wifi ?
[04:34] <newuser> pdf editors for ubuntu ?
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> id say wired networking would use less power newuser
[04:34] <newuser> Dr_Willis: how much less ?
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> newuser:  given how wireless power need can vary greatly on the card, distance, a/b/g/n  i have no idea
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> also depends on how much the network is being used i imagine. ;)
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> i think im fighting a power issue right now. and wireless  ;)
[04:37] <newuser> Dr_Willis: lol ok, and second question - good pdf editors for ubuntu ?
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> raspbnerry pi works great wired.. wireless - it has issues.. due to the small power supply i got. ;)  Just upgraded the Powar.
[04:37] <wiak> is there a way to use rsync to speed up download over ssh?
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> I never edit pdf,. i rarely even read pdfs' so no idea newuser
[04:38] <newuser> anyone else ?
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> wiak:  you might want to use wget perhaps?   but you would need some sort of server serveing the files
[04:39] <wiak> lol
[04:40] <Rakko> I'm going crazy here. How can I automatically detect USB drives and mount them from outside an X serssion? I thought I had success before using udevil, but now I see that that requires supplying the drive. What I'm thinking of is something that just mounts everything plugged in, like when you're at the desktop.
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> Rakko:  theres some auto-mounting services in the repos  'autofs' perhaps?
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> Rakko:  also i you do have the  the desktop installed. there are the gnome gvfs tools you can use in the cli
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> !info pmount
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> !info udisks
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> !info autofs
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> its all going to be about the details of how you want to access the devices
[04:42] <Rakko> OK. I know it was something I have installed, and I do have udevil and udisks, but not pmount
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> one thing to watch out for - some of those commands may use HAL, or udev, or the other older hardware detection subsustems. so any guides on this with examples. Might be out of date, or not work in the future
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> someone was asking this exact question earlier this week. I think he ended up using pmount.
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> also with external ntfs or vfat. I THINK there might be some udev(?) rules that may mount them in difrernt ways by default according to some settings.  (like let all users access them and so forth)
[04:59] <comptroller> Hi everyone. I'm having an issues with the open source drivers.. whenever I try to load a game like Teeworlds or others, the game opens on both screens, stretched with a crazy wide resolution. any ideas?
[05:01] <comodo_dragon> !lts
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> comptroller:  what video card?
[05:02] <comodo_dragon> why is 12.04 supported for 5 yeras?
[05:02] <comodo_dragon> years*
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> comodo_dragon:  they did a exception for it and extended the support life
[05:02] <comodo_dragon> why?
[05:02] <comptroller> ATI HD 3870
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> due to all the big changed i guess they were planning for 13.x+
[05:02] <comptroller> Dr_Willis
[05:02] <comodo_dragon> hehe
[05:03] <Dr_Willis> comptroller:  dual monitor on nvidia (the only ones i use) require  the propiarty drivers to get apps to be able to fullscreen on just one monitor. If i dont use them. then many apps get confused and think i have a single very very wide monitor
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> comptroller:  you might want to check askubuntu.com - they may know of some work arounds
[05:04] <comodo_dragon> is it some masonic ritual?
[05:05] <vijaya> I have a problem while extracting rootstrap for scratchbox....I google it for so much time but couldn't find any solution....can anyone help??
[05:05] <comptroller> yeah.. unfortunately my  video card is not supported...
[05:06] <comptroller> thanks Dr_willis.. it sounds like I'm probably out of luck
[05:13]  * Rakko returns
[05:14]  * comodo_dragon hi
[05:15] <Rakko> I guess I still don't see how to use any of those command-line tools to automatically mount whatever's plugged in without me having to know the device names.
[05:15] <Rakko> As I said, I'm 99% sure it was either udevil or udisks -- most probably udevil.
[05:16] <comodo_dragon> made by the devil
[05:17] <Rakko> Dr_Willis: so autofs is the very newest?
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> Rakko:  no idea.
[05:17] <Rakko> Dr_Willis: well you were saying that HAL and udev are older.
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> the gvfs stuff is a feature of gnome. No idea how long autofs has been around. its most likely best in system cases
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> autofs might use hal. might use udev. I dont use it - so no idea on it more then just to say.. it exists. ;)
[05:18] <Rakko> I just found my answer! devmon --mount-all
[05:19]  * comodo_dragon burps
[05:19] <Rakko> night
[05:19] <raub> Is 01-mail-stack-delivery.conf an ubuntu-specific config file for dovecot?
[05:24] <reisio> raub: can you pastebin it?
[05:26] <reisio> raub: it probably is, yes, likely based on the example .conf's dovecot comes with
[05:43] <vijaya> I have a problem while extracting rootstrap for scratchbox....I google it for so much time but couldn't find any solution....can anyone help??
[05:43] <grahamsavage> hi.. my internet connection has many different problems
[05:43] <comodo_dragon> hi
[05:44] <grahamsavage> the major effect it has is that it causes chrome on ubuntu to crash and slow down.. i'm unable to diagnose the cause.  For example i can download stuff a 90kbs, but a website will take 2 minutes to load.  Sometimes after resetting my computer it will load quickly, sometimes not.
[05:44] <grahamsavage> are there any tools i can use to test the speed of dns queries web requests etc?
[05:45] <grahamsavage> and how to i tell the difference between  router issue / vpn issue / isp issue / ubuntu networking problem etc
[05:48] <grahamsavage> ok dig responds quickly, wget loads relatively quickly
[05:48] <grahamsavage> google chrome is ridiculously slow
[05:48] <Rory> grahamsavage: if you go to "Network->Network proxy" (in Ubuntu not chrome) and set method to None does that help?
[05:49] <grahamsavage> Rory: it's currently set to none
[05:49] <Rory> grahamsavage: Also try disabling ipv6 if you don't use it, in "Network Manager->Edit Connections->Connection Name->Edit->IPv6 Settings->Method=ignore"
[05:49] <maum> hello
[05:49] <Oddity> hi
[05:50] <reisio> hi
[05:50] <cfhowlett> greetings
[05:50] <Rory> grahamsavage: is your "90kb/s" an example of fastness or slowness? it's all relative. For example I'd rather die than have that speed, but some would kill for it
[05:50] <grahamsavage> Rory: ipv6 is already disabled
[05:50] <maum> when I typed "gcc -v" it returns 4.7 version but now I see 4.6 version . how can I fix this?
[05:50] <grahamsavage> Rory: 90kbs is fast enough.. basically throughput is not the problem
[05:50] <Rory> maum: "now I see" what do you mean?
[05:51] <maum> Rory: it returns 4.6 version
[05:51] <Rory> maum: You just said it returns 4.7?
[05:51] <Rory> maum: What ubuntu version are you using?
[05:51] <maum> Rory: 12.10 version
[05:51] <Rory> !info gcc quantal
[05:52] <grahamsavage> Rory: it's the same in firefox as well. it just takes ages to start loading the page
[05:52] <grahamsavage> like a minute
[05:52] <Rory> maum: How did you install it?
[05:52] <maum> Rory: I downloaded gcc 4.6 version and I typed sudo make install-gcc
[05:52] <Rory> grahamsavage: Does this occur on any connection on your PC? Are you able to try a different connection by, say, taking a laptop somewhere else, or tethering your phone temporarily?
[05:53] <Rory> maum: Then you need to run the version you install directly. It's probably  in /usr/local/bin/ whereas the actual supported ubuntu version is in /usr/bin
[05:53] <Rory> I might leave briefly because battery
[05:54] <maum> Rory: how can I link it
[05:54] <Rory> maum: if you type "which gcc" you will see the path to GCC
[05:54] <ImQ009> Hello
[05:54] <reisio> 'lo ImQ009
[05:54] <Rory> maum: First can you at least get the version you want working
[05:54] <ImQ009> I've found this guide to unbrick my UEFI after installing Ubuntu on it http://www.linlap.com/fujitsu_lifebook_ah532?&#comment_7ae19c0f23cda94b44c75f4284beda30
[05:55] <ImQ009> But I'm stuck at this line here "sudo dd if=FreeDOS-1.1-USB-Boot.img of=/dev/sdb"
[05:55] <reisio> if you can unbrick it, it was never bricked
[05:55] <maum> Rory: it returns /usr/local/bin/gcc
[05:55] <reisio> ImQ009: stuck how?
[05:55] <cfhowlett> reisio, damn, THAT is an eternal quote!
[05:55] <ImQ009> The command doesn't do anything
[05:55] <ImQ009> It's supposed to flash FreeDOS on a pendrive
[05:55] <maum> Rory: I want default version 4.7 2 maybe
[05:55] <reisio> cfhowlett: yeah makes your brain like, turn gears and... dude
[05:55] <cfhowlett> ImQ009, what version of ubuntu were you installing
[05:55] <ImQ009> It says it's finished it (33MB, instantly?)
[05:55] <ImQ009> 13:04
[05:55] <reisio> ImQ009: that's normal
[05:55] <reisio> ImQ009: go to next step
[05:55] <Rory> ImQ009: Seems about right
[05:55] <ImQ009> Well, the pendrive is empty
[05:56] <reisio> ImQ009: according to what
[05:56] <ImQ009> According to system
[05:56] <reisio> ImQ009: unplug it and plug it back in
[05:56] <reisio> it won't be empty anymore
[05:56] <ImQ009> It doesn't mount anymore
[05:56] <reisio> not much point in an OS constantly polling devices to see if users manually overwrote them :p
[05:57] <maum> Rory: ?
[05:57] <reisio> ImQ009: then just go to the next step
[05:57] <ImQ009> Alright
[05:57] <Rory> maum: Where did you install version 4.7.2 ?
[05:57] <ImQ009> Just saying, a transfer speed of 413MB/s on a pendrive is kinda suspicious :P
[05:57] <maum> Rory: Can I use default path /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin/gcc
[05:58] <maum> Rory: 4.7.2 is the default veriosn for 12.10
[05:58] <grahamsavage> Rory: it's a bit diffciult because it's my desktop
[05:58] <grahamsavage> but yeah i suppose i coudl take it home
[05:58] <k1l_> ImQ009: is sdb you usb-device?
[05:58] <Rory> maum: It isn't, according to Ubottu
[05:58] <ImQ009> Yes, in this case sdc
[05:58] <Rory> !info gcc quantal
[05:58] <ImQ009> sdc1
[05:58] <Rory> Oh sorry maum I misread
[05:58] <reisio> ImQ009: what makes you think it was 413mb/s?
[05:58] <ImQ009> That's what dd says
[05:58] <k1l_> ImQ009: are you sure you did the right dd command?
[05:59] <Rory> maum: Did you install gcc through the package manager (sudo apt-get install gcc)
[05:59] <reisio> ImQ009: how big is the .img?
[05:59] <k1l_> ImQ009: things get cached
[05:59] <ImQ009> 32.5MB
[05:59] <maum> Rory: no, from source (4.6.3)
[05:59] <Rory> ImQ009: Can you please put the result of your DD command on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[05:59] <reisio> ImQ009: then you didn't transfer 413mb
[05:59] <Rory> maum: If you want 4.7.2 why did you compile and install 4.6.3?
[05:59] <reisio> this is the best way to sum it up: if you don't have a problem, you don't have a problem
[06:00] <ImQ009> reisio, I'm just quoting dd's output
[06:00] <reisio> wait for the problem before you fix it
[06:00] <maum> Rory: for my compiler homework
[06:00] <reisio> ImQ009: and I'm saying it's not suspicious :)
[06:00] <Rory> maum: sudo apt-get install gcc
[06:00] <maum> Rory: can i use different version?
[06:00] <Rory> maum: what version do you need?
[06:01] <maum> Rory: the default version for 12.10
[06:01] <Rory> maum: sudo apt-get install gcc
[06:01] <maum> Rory: ok
[06:01] <Rory> maum: Assuming you're using 12.10 like you said (use "cat /etc/issue" to check)
[06:02] <ImQ009> reisio, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203731/
[06:02] <ImQ009> Rory, ^
[06:02] <Rory> maum: FYI you can install pretty much any 4.x version, look at "apt-cache search gcc-"
[06:03] <ImQ009> Ok, then
[06:03] <Rory> ImQ009: Does it work though? The proof of the pudding is in the eating
[06:03] <ImQ009> I will try proceeding to next step then
[06:03] <pero_p> hi, i want to ask is this possible to compile libraries like libfftw or other libraries compiled in i386 to different architectures? (like arm)
[06:04] <maum> Rory: Do I have to re-install gcc-4.7.2?
[06:04] <ImQ009> Rory, No, it doesn't work
[06:04] <Rory> pero_p: Yes it is, take a look at this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/250696/cross-compile-for-arm
[06:04] <ImQ009> I'm supposed to mount it and copy some files
[06:04] <ImQ009> But it won't mount
[06:04] <Rory> maum: No, and please stop installing things from outside the package manager if you dont know what you're doing
[06:04] <reisio> pero_p: that particularly lib is probably available precompiled, however
[06:04] <reisio> for arm
[06:04] <ImQ009> It says that contents are unknown in the disk utility
[06:05] <maum> Rory: I am in terminal
[06:05] <pero_p> thanks
[06:05] <k1l_> ImQ009: are you sure you need to dd the image into a partition and not the device?
[06:05] <ImQ009> When I tried sdc it said that medium hasn't been found
[06:05] <Rory> maum: My understanding of your problem is: you want to install gcc. You have now done so.
[06:05] <reisio> ImQ009: you sure the guide you're following assumes you're using Windows?
[06:05] <Rory> maum: I don't see the problem, to be honest
[06:05] <ImQ009> reisio, Don't look at that :P
[06:05] <ImQ009> I'm doing that on my laptop
[06:05] <vramana> Can somebody help me with grub recovery after windows installation.
[06:06] <reisio> how're you trying to mount it?
[06:06] <Rory> !grub | vramana
[06:06] <ImQ009> I just put it in
[06:06] <maum> Rory: gcc -v still returns 4.6 version but I want it returns 4.7 version
[06:06] <ImQ009> But I can't do anything with it
[06:06] <ImQ009> The option to mount it isn't there
[06:06] <Rory> maum: did you do sudo apt-get install gcc?
[06:06] <maum> Rory: yes
[06:07] <Rory> maum: What is the output of "/usr/bin/gcc -v"
[06:07] <SoulRaven> hello
[06:07] <maum> Rory: 4.7.2
[06:07] <ImQ009> Ok,
[06:07] <SoulRaven> i am try to delete all files older that 2 days, but is not working like this: find /opt/opengts/logs/*.log -mtime +2
[06:07] <ImQ009> I reformatted the pendrive on my windows machine
[06:07] <SoulRaven> only like this: find /opt/opengts/logs/*.log -mtime -2
[06:08] <ImQ009> And tried again
[06:08] <ImQ009> Now it worked
[06:08] <SoulRaven> any ideea way?
[06:08] <Rory> maum: and "which gcc" gives "/usr/local/bin/gcc" ?
[06:08] <reisio> ImQ009: gj
[06:08] <Rory> Can anyone confirm for me that /usr/local/bin/ is NOT in Quantal's default $PATH ?
[06:08] <maum> Rory: 4.6.3
[06:08] <Rory> maum: "which gcc" what does it say?
[06:09] <ImQ009> Alright
[06:09] <ImQ009> Thanks for assistance
[06:09] <maum> Rory: /usr/local/bin/gcc
[06:09] <Rory> maum: All I can suggest then is something like "sudo chmod -x /usr/local/bin/gcc"
[06:10] <vramana> I have three OS installed on my computer Ubuntu 13.04, Windows 8 and Elementary 0S 0.2 in this order on my harddrive. When I did grub recovery after windows installation. Ubuntu grub doesn't show Elementary OS?? Can somebody help me??
[06:10] <ImQ009> Ok
[06:10] <Rory> vramana: Can you please run the command: "sudo update-grub" and put the result on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[06:10] <ImQ009> Now, I need to boot from that pendrive
[06:10] <ImQ009> But Ubuntu has overwritten the boot list
[06:11] <ImQ009> So, it doesn't show anything besides "ubuntu" there
[06:11] <k1l_> ImQ009: make sure your hardware is booting from the usb
[06:11] <ImQ009> :|
[06:11] <maum> Rory: what is the command for? gcc -v returns 4.7.2
[06:11] <ImQ009> k1l_, How? :P
[06:11] <ImQ009> I'm in UEFI boot menu right now
[06:11] <vramana> Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203774/
[06:11] <ImQ009> Which is overwritten by Ubuntu
[06:11] <k1l_> ImQ009: like setting that in the BIOS or pressing some key that is mentioned in the manual
[06:12] <ImQ009> k1l_, Read up
[06:12] <comptroller> Hi everyone. I'm having an issues with the open source drivers.. whenever I try to load a game like Teeworlds or others, the game opens on both screens, stretched with a crazy wide resolution. any ideas? Unfortunately I can't use proprietary drivers because I am using an ATI HD 3870 (unsupported by FGLRX), and I have an open AskUbuntu thread here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/354674/games-open-on-two-screens-with-open-source-dr
[06:12] <comptroller> ivers
[06:12] <ImQ009> The BIOS boot menu is overwritten by Ubuntu
[06:12] <ImQ009> So it doesn'
[06:12] <maum> Rory: anyway, thank you.
[06:12] <ImQ009> So it doesn't show anything at all besides "ubuntu"
[06:12] <vramana> Rory: Elementary OS 0.2 is using Linux 3.10. in my system.
[06:13] <maum> I cannot install vmware tools for ubuntu 12.10.
[06:13] <k1l_> ImQ009: its about the hardware device to boot
[06:14] <ImQ009> k1l_, I'm confused
[06:14] <ImQ009> Because I don't know what to do
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[06:17] <ImQ009> k1l_, It says, I'm supposed to boot from USB by going into the BIOS boot menu
[06:17] <Rory> maum: One sec I'll explain it to you
[06:17] <ImQ009> So, I'm pressing f12, opening it up
[06:17] <ImQ009> Right? Now, I'm supposed to select my USB device
[06:17] <ImQ009> ...which again, isn't shown on the list of bootable devices
[06:18] <reisio> ImQ009: you can't override a bios or uefi boot menu
[06:18] <reisio> but that doesn't mean your device will show up in it :)
[06:18] <ImQ009> reisio, Well, if it didn't override it I wouldn't have to reflash BIOS :/
[06:18] <Rory> maum: When you run "gcc" rather than a full filename like "/usr/bin/gcc", Ubuntu looks in a few directories to see if the "gcc" program is there. You can run "echo $PATH" to see what these directories are for yourself
[06:18] <reisio> ImQ009: you're confusing mbr or something with bios
[06:18] <reisio> which could be quite a mistake
[06:19] <ImQ009> reisio, But what does it have to do with MBR? :/
[06:19] <Rory> maum: Because you installed 4.6 in /usr/local/bin and Ubuntu was looking there first, it was running that version, even though you had 4.7 installed in /usr/bin
[06:19] <reisio> ImQ009: what is it you're trying to do again?
[06:19] <ImQ009> I'm trying to reflash the BIOS
[06:19] <k1l_> ImQ009: again: are you sure to dd the .img into a partition on that usb-stick and not ont the device directly? why dont you just choose the usb-drive in the startup menue?
[06:19] <reisio> ImQ009: why?
[06:19] <ImQ009> reisio, Because Ubuntu messess EFI up on my device
[06:19] <ImQ009> And it's a known problem
[06:19] <Rory> maum: The command I gave you just removed the executable permissions from /usr/local/bin/gcc so it'll just skip to the next one in the list, in this case the version you want. You can revert the change with "sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gcc"
[06:19] <reisio> that's hard to imagine, but if it's known :p
[06:20] <ImQ009> reisio, http://www.linlap.com/fujitsu_lifebook_ah532
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> ImQ009: ive installed ubuntu on a win8 uefi laptop the other day without changing anything, worked out of the box
[06:20] <Rory> vramana: Can you please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[06:20] <ImQ009> reisio, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1082418
[06:20] <ImQ009> Right there [06:21] <barbarousrelic> Does the Ubuntu installer allow you to resize NTFS partitions?
[06:21] <vramana> Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203793/
[06:22] <reisio> barbarousrelic: pretty sure
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | barbarousrelic
[06:23] <rrm> when will the next lts come out?
[06:23] <Rory> rrm: 14.04
[06:23] <Rory> rrm: In April 2014, the clue is in the name (14.04)
[06:23] <rrm> Rory: thank you, and supported for 5 years?
[06:23] <Rory> !lts | rrm not sure
[06:24] <k1l_> rrm: yes
[06:24] <Rory> rrm: so yes on the server. 3 years on the desktop
[06:24] <rrm> i thought lts was 5 yrs desktop/server with 12.04
[06:25] <k1l_> Rory: rrm no. its 5 years for all now
[06:25] <Rory> Who runs Ubottu? I'm noticing more and more out of date factoids
[06:26] <Rory> Considering I like to be quite smug with my use of ubottu, it's important the facts are correct :P
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Rory: #ubuntu-ops
[06:26] <k1l_> Rory: if you find those please tell in #ubuntu-irc
[06:26] <ImQ009> Ok
[06:26] <ImQ009> I shorted out CL1 and CL2 pads
[06:26] <kongthap> i have an executable call "/user/local/netbeans" how can i create an icon on the desktop for this executable???
[06:26] <ImQ009> That fixed the boot menu
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Rory: you can use the request trigger for factoids aswell
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> Rory: tryed a few in the past, or sugestions..but they never changed
[06:27] <gordonjcp> kongthap: you shouldn't do
[06:27] <gordonjcp> kongthap: that path makes no sense
[06:27] <rrm> k1l_: you mean only LTS, not the other releases?  since i thought that is 9 months from 18 as it was before
[06:28] <k1l_> rrm: you asked about LTS support :)  that is 5 years for server and desktop
[06:28] <kongthap> gordonjcp: it's default part when i install netbeans using root
[06:28] <gordonjcp> no it isn't
[06:28] <vramana> Rory I'll be back in a few moments
[06:28] <Rory> The factoid is NOT incorrect, the exception is for 12.04. 10.04 and 14.04 are exactly as Ubottu describes
[06:29] <kongthap> gordonjcp: right now i can go to that directory and type ./netbeans, i can launch the app, but i don't know how to create an icon on the desktop
[06:29] <rrm> k1l_: thank you, that is great, no need to worry for a few years, my hardware will pass out before that
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> Rory: many factoid url's are bit outdated..
[06:30] <gordonjcp> kongthap: that path doesn't look right
[06:30] <kongthap> gordonjcp: which part looks right to you?
[06:30] <gordonjcp> kongthap: none of it
[06:31] <gordonjcp> kongthap: are you sure it's not something like /usr/local/bin/netbeans ?
[06:31] <gordonjcp> kongthap: either way, it shouldn't have /local/ in it
[06:32] <kongthap> gordonjcp: yeah, you are right, i missed "bin"
[06:32] <maum> Rory: ok
[06:32] <vramana> Rory: I am back.
[06:33] <kongthap> gordonjcp: so how can i create an icon on the desktop???
[06:33] <vramana> I am currently in running elementary OS live from usb.
[06:35] <Rory> vramana: Try this: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update"
[06:35] <gordonjcp> kongthap: doesn't it set one up when you install the package?
[06:36] <Rory> vramana: sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)
[06:36] <Rory> vramana: Then click the "Recommended repair" button. When repair is finished, note the URL (paste.ubuntu.com/XXXXX) that appeared on a paper, then reboot and check if you recovered access to your OSs.
[06:36] <kongthap> gordonjcp: that's what i'm confusing, the install didn't create one for me, i've tried to search in dash too
[06:37] <gordonjcp> kongthap: how did you install it?
[06:37] <kongthap> gordonjcp: i used .sh download from oracle
[06:37] <gordonjcp> kongthap: if you built it from source and did "make install" which is what the /usr/local thing suggests, it probably won't work
[06:37] <gordonjcp> ah, no chance
[06:37]  * Paulus68_1 need a mod in #ubuntu server
[06:38] <rrm> thanks for the help, night
[06:38] <kongthap> gordonjcp: the installer installed both jdk and netbeans
[06:38]  * Paulus68_1 someone is flooding there
[06:38] <gordonjcp> kongthap: why not just use the packaged versions?
[06:38] <kongthap> gordonjcp: i don't know much about this so i just downloaded one from oracle like when i did with windows platform
[06:39] <Rootbrian> there is a tutorial on how to get java updated with the oracle tarballs.
[06:39] <gordonjcp> kongthap: yeah, don't do that
[06:40] <kongthap> gordonjcp: so in ubunto how you create an icon which link to an executable??
[06:40] <gordonjcp> kongthap: no idea, I've never done it
[06:40] <Paulus68_1> ikonia: you here
[06:41] <kongthap> gordonjcp: ok thanks anyway
[06:41] <gordonjcp> Paulus68_1: in the channel that has problems, type "!ops"
[06:41] <k1l_> paulus68: #ubuntu-ops is the op channel for the #ubuntu channels
[06:41] <gordonjcp> kongthap: it should just happen automatically when you install the app
[06:41] <kongthap> gordonjcp: i hope so, but it didn't
[06:42] <reisio> kongthap: right click somewhere, create launcher
[06:42] <gordonjcp> kongthap: you didn't install it properly
[06:42] <gordonjcp> kongthap: you need to use the proper packages, not some random thing downloaded off a dodgy website
[06:43] <kongthap> reisio: i did right click at desktop there wasn't any "create launcher"
[06:43] <Caelum> what was the nice thingie for building packages from source
[06:43] <Caelum> I used to use apt-get source, but there's a better way
[06:43] <vramana> Rory: Elementary is still missing http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203816/
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> !source | Caelum
[06:44] <Rory> vramana: Are you sure it's even installed? You didn't accidentally overwrite it when you installed Ubuntu?
[06:44] <vramana> Rory: Elementary is present on /dev/sda3..
[06:44] <Rory> pre-empted :P
[06:44] <kongthap> reisio: i use "Main Menu" i can create a launcher, the launcher can launch the app but the icon of the launcher isn't right, any ideas please?
[06:45] <k1l_> vramana: that cant be. sda3 is an extended and cant contain data itself
[06:45] <reisio> kongthap: open it with a text editor
[06:45] <reisio> kongthap: there'll be a line (or you can add one) like Icon=path
[06:45] <kongthap> reisio: do you know where the icon path of netbeans ide???
[06:46] <reisio> kongthap: dpkg -L netbeans | egrep -i 'svg|png'
[06:46] <Caelum> lotuspsychje: no there was a nicer thingie for building source debs
[06:46] <vramana> Rory: I previously had Ubuntu and Elementary I then used gparted to shrink the Ubuntu partition. and then installed windows on the new partition.
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> Caelum: a specifi package?
[06:47] <aeon-ltd> Caelum: describe more
[06:47] <kongthap> reisio: the command should display something, it display me nothing
[06:47] <fabianvampiro> hi
[06:47] <reisio> kongthap: maybe that isn't the package name
[06:47] <k1l_> vramana: you dont have elementary installed. its just ubuntu/windows/swap on sda
[06:47] <kongthap> reisio: do i need to change the working directory before using that command
[06:48] <helmut_> hi

[06:49] <Rory> vramana: There's no elementary on your machine
[06:49] <Rory> vramana: I'm sorry to break it to you but... that's the case
[06:49] <k1l_> vramana: its not about grub. the blkid doesnt show and other partitions besides that 3 i mentioned
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> linu: maybe cheese can do it?

[07:01] <munnj> Rory last week
[07:01] <munnj> Rory: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \1
[07:03] <Rory> munnj: I don't have that file on my system, did you do something weird to your system recently? Have you ever installed any software from outside the package manager or through a PPA?

[07:08] <xmetal> thank you, Myrtti
[07:08] <we2> I am having trouble setting up remote logging on Ubuntu Server. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6863632
[07:08] <maum> Rory: first of all, Do I have to download tar file?
[07:08] <munnj> Rory: can it be a failing filesystem?
[07:09] <we2> both the server and client syslog-ng.conf file's relevant contents are in the gist
[07:09] <Rory> maum: No you can go to the VM toolbar menu and select "Install VMWare tools" it will create a CD drive entry
[07:09] <we2> the server is not receiving the logs, local logging on the client is working fine
[07:10] <maum> Rory: the menu returns the message [VMware Tools installation cannot be started manually while Easy Install is in progress]
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> someone knows what the 13.04 server setup step needs ip/port/username for?
[07:10] <electron__> is it okay to share home partitions b/w distributions ? ive got ubuntu and arch and am planning to keep a common home partition for both
[07:10] <Rory> electron__: Yes but beware of configuration files
[07:11] <we2> lotuspsychje: for downloading updates during installation
[07:11] <lotuspsychje> we2: can you tell me what to fill in there?
[07:11] <Rory> electron__: You might be better off having a separate *data* partition just holding Music, Videos etc, and then creating symbolic links to their respective locations on both Arch and Ubuntu
[07:11] <Rory> electron__: That's what I do \o/
[07:11] <electron__> Rory : im not sharing users just the partition
[07:11] <electron__> should be okay ?
[07:12] <Rory> electron__: Configurations files are stored in your home directory
[07:12] <electron__> ahh ... okay
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> we2: doesnt the server install, download updates automaticly?
[07:12] <Rory> electron__: So you will probably run into issues. Not unfixable ones, but it'll be easier to do something similar to my setup above
[07:13] <electron__> Rory thanks ..
[07:13] <xmetal> i agree
[07:13] <xmetal> i have a seperate partition for those sorts of things that each OS can access
[07:13] <xmetal> if i upgrade OS oir change Distro ... those files stay where they are
[07:16] <reisio> they could stay where they are regardless
[07:16] <we2> lotuspsychje: usually the IP address is asked during the network configuration part of the installation, if on your network the IP is assigned automatically i.e., by DHCP then it should be configured automatically
[07:17] <we2> lotuspsychje: if it is asking for an IP address then maybe you have static (manual) IP Addressing
[07:17] <llutz> lotuspsychje: ip/port/username sounds like proxy-configuration. do you really need one?
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> luttz: it seems it cant skip that step?
[07:18] <Rory> I have 2 drives, one with distros, and one big mechanical one with all my actual files on it. I run this on a new distro: for i in $(ls -d /media/data/*/); do ln -s ${i%%/} ~/${i%%/}; done
[07:18] <Rory> Or someting along those lines anyway
[07:19] <llutz> lotuspsychje: sorry i don't know the server-installer. maybe go back one step and try again...
[07:19] <lotuspsychje> llutz: me neither never seen that step before, im helping in query :p
[07:20] <abac> hi I need help
[07:20] <aeon-ltd> abac: describe the problem in one line
[07:20] <abac> thanks
[07:21] <xmetal> !ask
[07:21] <aeon-ltd> uhhh they left...?
[07:21] <Rory> That happens just so, so often
[07:24] <electron__> Rory: how about keeping home in arch's root and symlinking entire user directorys to home partition in ubuntu
[07:26] <Rory> electron__: That would work but not the entire directory
[07:26] <Rory> electron__: Only the personal files
[07:26] <electron__> why not the entire directory ?
[07:26] <Rory> electron__: Otherwise those pesky config files will be symlinked too
[07:26] <Rory> electron__: for example /home/YourUsername/.config
[07:26] <electron__> hmm but okay
[07:26] <Rory> I'm not wrong
[07:27] <electron__> im just asking ..
[07:27] <Calinou> /home/YourUsername/ can be replaced with just ~
[07:27] <electron__> okay /home/user/.config is symlinked too
[07:27] <dudleyi> Why do you feel the need to cycle between Arch and Ubuntu, in the first place?
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> llutz: seems to be a step according to scsi opendriver: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-set-iscsi-initiator/
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> llutz: but not sure how to do this..
[07:28] <Rory> Calinou: I know it can but not everyone does and I wanted to be clear
[07:28] <we2> I am having trouble setting up remote logging on Ubuntu Server. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6863632. Both the server and client syslog-ng.conf file's relevant contents are in the gist. The server is not receiving the logs, local logging on the client is working fine. Help!
[07:28] <llutz> lotuspsychje: if one uses iscsi one shoul know how to configure it
[07:28] <Rory> dudleyi: That doesn't matter, it's what he wants to do
[07:28] <electron__> dudleyi : im transitioning to arch
[07:28] <electron__> slowly
[07:28] <dudleyi> Why slowly?
[07:28] <Rory> dudleyi: For example, I use Arch for using, and Ubuntu for checking things for ppl in this channel
[07:29] <Rory> electron__: The best way to do it is like a plaster, just do it all in one go and it hurts less
[07:29] <jony_easyrider> Rory, yes, there was a completely reinstall. Only I copy/paste the line in fstab which refers to that network share
[07:29] <electron__> slowly because some things  i need to get it work quickly
[07:29] <Rory> jony_easyrider: OK feel free, but I'd still like to see the output from "sudo mount -a"
[07:29] <jony_easyrider> Rory, it doesn't output anything
[07:30] <Rory> jony_easyrider: That means it worked
[07:30] <electron__> Rory: no o/p
[07:30] <electron__> oh .. okay
[07:30] <Rory> jony_easyrider: The problem is the directory you're trying to mount it to is not writeable by the user you're logged in as. I know this, because when you tried to mount it as root it worked, but as a normal user you get permission denied
[07:30] <jony_easyrider> Rory, it doesn't mount the share
[07:31] <Rory> jony_easyrider: Can you show me your fstab?
[07:31] <tapout> when you hook up your logitech webcam, where can you configure the capture size and what not?  I'm using KDE
[07:31] <Rory> tapout: Webcams are configured per-application
[07:31] <electron__> Rory : just need to understand somthing ... if an entire user is symlinked why is it a problem .. the common config files like under home ( /home.config) belong to their respective distro's partitions right ?
[07:32] <reisio> tapout: for kamera?
[07:32] <Rory> electron__: Your config files are in /home/electron/
[07:32] <jony_easyrider> Rory, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203911/
[07:32] <Rory> electron__: If you symlikn the entire /home directory or even /home/electron directory you will also be symlinking the config files
[07:32] <reisio> mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=1280:height=720:device=/dev/video0 -fps 15 -fs
[07:33] <electron__> Rory yes
[07:33] <Rory> electron__: YOUR config files, not the system-wide ones. Look in ~/.config to see some examples
[07:33] <Rory> jony_easyrider: Which one isn' working?
[07:33] <vramana> Rory: I want to resize and move my partition But http://imgur.com/y9xauDs seems to locked (??) can you help??
[07:33] <Rory> vramana: Right-click the Swap, do disable swap
[07:33] <electron__> yes .. and those config files under the username /home/electron_arch (arch user) will be used only by arch right ?
[07:34] <vramana> Thanks
[07:34] <Rory> electron__: Oh if the usernames are different you're good to go
[07:34] <Rory> electron__: I was assuming the username was the same on both distros
[07:34] <electron__> ah .. okay .. thanks ..
[07:35] <dudleyi> Rory: Why not run Arch, and VM ubuntu, for the sake of speed?
[07:35] <Rory> dudleyi: I have a soft spot for Ubuntu
[07:35]  * dudleyi shrugs.
[07:35] <electron__> ^ me too
[07:36] <dudleyi> I do too.
[07:36] <dudleyi> I poop out of that soft spot, though.
[07:36]  * dudleyi shrugs.
[07:36] <Rory> I feel it deserves to be a first-class-citizen on my machine, even if I never use it
[07:37] <dudleyi> I dislike Ubuntu for a myriad of reason.
[07:37] <dudleyi> I applaud it's marketing, though.
[07:38] <Rory> I was going to correct your grammaer, but technically it makes sense both ways (I applaud [that] it is marketing)
[07:38] <cjmac> dudleyi: blasphemy!
[07:39] <cjmac> dudleyi: (I kid.)
[07:39] <aeon-ltd> dudleyi: really? considering it's run by a millionaire, and most other distros run on donations and volunteers it's not that amazing
[07:39] <k1l_> hey guys: can we keep the offtopic out of the support channel? thanks
[07:39] <jony_easyrider> Rory, the last three rows
[07:39] <electron__> dudley: sometimes i need to get some package running quick ; like the other day i needed heimdall to flash a phone .. on arch i had to would have to get it from AUR and compile ..
[07:39] <dudleyi> aeon-ltd: That's neither here, nor there.
[07:40] <xmetal> i have the arch iso here (never tried it) but haven't loaded it in vm yet
[07:54] <TripSec> sudo apt-get install git, once i dl'd it how do i open it?
[07:55] <reisio> TripSec: git on its own is commandline only
[07:55] <reisio> there are a number of GUI frontends, though
[07:59] <JZA> hi I load a liveUSB using xubuntu but doing a df -h  I only see 1.5G
[07:59] <JZA> why I cant get the full 4G?
[08:01] <JZA> this is what I get on my df http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3209894
[08:02] <jony_easyrider> Rory, can U help me, please?
[08:02] <JZA> anyone?
[08:10] <llutz> JZA: 1.5G is just the size of the writable overlay filesystem. /dev/sdd1 is your 4GB-usb
[08:16] <Caelum> when I run evince it opens something called "Document Viewer", is that evince?
[08:16] <auronandace> Caelum: yes
[08:16] <Caelum> I see, thank you
[08:17] <Caelum> looks nothing like the evince I remember
[08:17] <auronandace> Caelum: perhaps you are remembering the gnome 2 days
[08:26] <jony_easyrider> recently I moved from 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 to 64 bit 12.04. since then I got the following error when I try to mount a share specified in fstab: mount error(13): Permission denied
[08:28] <Rory> jony_easyrider: the 32 to 64 bit thing is irrelevant and will confuse people trying to help you: if you need to ask again at any point I'd leave that information out.
[08:28] <Rory> jony_easyrider: Also I don't know how to fix your issue
[08:29] <shomon> hi is there a way to run chckdsk on a drive I borked due to battery running out very quickly
[08:29] <llutz> jony_easyrider: and the corresponding fstab-entry is what?
[08:29] <shomon> without having access to dos
[08:29] <jony_easyrider> llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6203911/
[08:30] <MonkeyDust> shomon  try using non-dos ways to check the disk
[08:30] <auronandace> shomon: chckdsk is windows, ask in ##windows
[08:30] <reisio> dos...
[08:30] <shomon> it says $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0): Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent or there is a hardware failure
[08:30] <shomon> but it's just a partition of the same drive
[08:30] <jony_easyrider> llutz, I don't understand, I copy-pasted those last three line from my old fstab to my new fstab
[08:30] <jony_easyrider> llutz, and it won't work
[08:30] <buu> jony_easyrider: Do you have a /root/ credentials file?
[08:30] <MonkeyDust> shomon  are you working in ubuntu?
[08:31] <buu> jony_easyrider: Can you manually mount them?
[08:32] <k1l_> jony_easyrider: can you make a "mount- a" and show the errormessages in a pastebin?
[08:32] <jony_easyrider> buu, yes, I have them in the /root/.cifscredentials
[08:32] <jony_easyrider> k1l_, it doesn't show anything
[08:33] <buu> jony_easyrider: Are the things now mounted?
[08:33] <Axlin> shomon: fsck, if this is a Linux-formatted partition you're checking.
[08:33] <buu> jony_easyrider: does dmesg say anything?
[08:33] <k1l_> jony_easyrider: do the mountpoints in /mnt/ exist?
[08:33] <buu> jony_easyrider: If you manually run the commands do they work?
[08:34] <comstox> can i get permissions to see my home directory from the liveCD?
[08:34] <jony_easyrider> buu, how can I manually mount those?
[08:35] <reisio> comstox: just have to mount it
[08:36] <buu> jony_easyrider: sudo mount -t cifs //... /mnt/... -o stuff
[08:36] <NET||abuse> Hi folks, I installed cpufreqd and indicator-cpufreq-selector and i want to test if it's working, how can i verify it's actions?
[08:37] <MonkeyDust> !info indicator-cpufreq-selector
[08:37] <shomon> MonkeyDust, yes
[08:38] <shomon> how can I tell if it's softraid or fakeraid?
[08:38] <MonkeyDust> shomon  then use Axlin 's suggestion
[08:39] <MonkeyDust> shomon  start from the beginning, what do you want to do, what have you tried and what goes wrong
[08:41] <comstox> Hey all, got stuck in a login loop where when I attempt to enter password it takes me back to the login screen, and at the same time Ctrl-ALT-F1-F6 don't take me to console mode, any suggestions?
[08:41] <eeos> hi everybody! I have a surreal problem: after last kernel upidate, when I click on the THIRD button of the mouse (the RIGHt button) the laptop goes to sleep. Any clue?
[08:42] <reisio> comstox: could be X is failing
[08:42] <reisio> comstox: could grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log from live OS
[08:42] <dings> eeos: no, but I'm guessing that is somewhat annoying =)  (sorry)
[08:42] <eeos> it is extremly annoying dings
[08:43] <eeos> dings: do you know where are the keybindings stored?
[08:43] <dings> eeos: my only suggestion is looking at xmodmap
[08:44] <eeos> dings: thanks
[08:44] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys when i take a look @ /etc/resolv.conf it says my DNS server is <IP_ADDRESS> is that normal? does that mean that DNS is working correctly? Ubuntu has its own DNS Server??
[08:46] <llutz> Psil0Cybin: yes, since a while they use dnsmasq as dns-cache on localhost
[08:46] <Psil0Cybin> llutz: does this update with new domain names / etc? should i leave it alone if my internet is fine
[08:46] <Psil0Cybin> speed wise
[08:46] <jony_easyrider> /<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server cifs noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=jony,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0
[08:46] <Psil0Cybin> sorry dont know alot about dns.
[08:47] <jony_easyrider> buu, pls help me to mount that manually
[08:47] <llutz> Psil0Cybin: if your internet is fine, just ignore it
[08:47] <Psil0Cybin> cool but new sites and domain names shold work? How does that work does it update?
[08:47] <Rory> jony_easyrider: Can the user "jony" run the command: cat /root/.cifscredentials
[08:47] <Psil0Cybin> or grab it from a site if it does not recognize it?
[08:48] <jony_easyrider> Rory, cat: /root/cifscredentials: Permission denied
[08:52] <Rory> jony_easyrider: That's why. You need to put your credentials somewhere where the user jony can read it
[08:52] <buu> jony_easyrider: sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server -o noauto -o iocharset=utf8 -o uid=jony -o gid=users -o credentials=/root/.cifscredentials -o file_mode=0775
[08:52] <Rory> jony_easyrider: Also
[08:52] <buu> I think there's a typo in there someplace
[08:52] <Rory> jony_easyrider: You didn't run the command I asked you to
[08:52] <Rory> jony_easyrider: Can the user "jony" run the command: cat /root/.cifscredentials
[08:55] <buu> jony_easyrider: Did it work?
[09:05] <jxjl> hi is it possible to create virtual desktop in window with own cursor and run app inside it?
[09:06] <Lacko> virtualbox?
[09:06] <jxjl> no, just second xsession
[09:07] <jxjl> running in window instead of fullscreen
[09:07] <Svetlana> jxjl, https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-help/shell-workspaces.html ? or have a second Os user and log in to that ?
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> jxjl  you can alos try to setup a chroot and run X with it
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> also*
[09:07] <Svetlana> jxjl, tightvncserver can run in own window (it is a server of sorts itself)
[09:08] <jxjl> no I want just to start another xorg session in window (for example on kde desktop open new xfce session in window)
[09:08] <llutz> !info xserver-xephyr | jxjl this might help
[09:09] <dings> jxjl: perhaps you could trick it with xnest in some way.
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> jxjl: what will you do one you get connected to the remote desktop?
[09:09] <jxjl> thanks, does it have its own cursor?
[09:09] <Lacko> Xnest -query hostname
[09:09] <Rory> jxjl: I'd recommend Virtualbox, honestly
[09:10] <jxjl> thank you for help, I'll try
[09:11] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys quick question
[09:12] <lakmuz> hello, how to install svn 1.8.3 on 13.04?
[09:12] <Psil0Cybin> im using gpg to encrypt a sentence i want to sent to my friend
[09:12] <eeos> dings: mmmm .... nothing, I do not seem to see anything using xmodmap
[09:12] <eeos> dings: I do not understand what is going on.
[09:12] <Psil0Cybin> where do i put his public key? in order to use gpg -aes username
[09:13] <jxjl> llutz: thank you very much, xephyr does exactly what I needed
[09:14] <llutz> jxjl: nice
[09:15] <Lacko> hw do i ubntu
[09:17] <eeos> sorry to bother again! I have a surreal problem an dI cannot find a solution on google or anywhere else: after last kernel update, when I click on the THIRD button of the mouse (the RIGHt button) the laptop goes to sleep. Any clue?
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> Lacko  create a live cd or usb, boot ubuntu, learn how to use it
[09:18] <llutz> Psil0Cybin: "gpg --import usernames.keyfile"
[09:18] <Lacko> It's amazing how serious people are in this chatroom, I love it.
[09:18] <Psil0Cybin> llutz and how do i export my public keyfile to send to a friend from the Password GUI app in Ubuntu
[09:19] <Psil0Cybin> when i go to Passwords and Keys the GUI and go to my personal keys
[09:19] <Psil0Cybin> and right click my key and click export
[09:19] <Psil0Cybin> it gives it to me as a .asc
[09:19] <Psil0Cybin> so i dunno if im giving my private key or public :S
[09:19] <llutz> Psil0Cybin:  don't know the gui, it _should_ be the public
[09:20] <gordonjcp> Psil0Cybin: what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:20] <Psil0Cybin> i wanna send encrypted messages with my cuzin for Google talk, so i made a private key for gpg to use gpg -aer username to send an ecrypted message
[09:20] <Psil0Cybin> so im assuming we need to exchange public keys
[09:20] <Psil0Cybin> so i can do gpg -aer hisusername
[09:20] <Psil0Cybin> and then type in the message
[09:21] <Psil0Cybin> and he would do
[09:21] <Psil0Cybin> gpg-aer myusername
[09:21] <FloodBot1> Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:21] <bazhang> Psil0Cybin, use commas NOT enter
[09:23] <llutz> Psil0Cybin: "gpg --armor --output mykey.asc --export<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or use keyserver to export/import keys
[09:26] <arussel> I'm writing a sh script that will be run as root. I want part of the script to be run as user foo, so I added a line: 'su foo' and was expecting the following line to be run as foo. But doing ech `whoami` returns root.
[09:26] <arussel> what am I doing wrong ?
[09:27] <llutz> arussel: su foo -c "commands run by foo here"
[09:27] <arussel> llutz: can't I have it for all following command ? I've got like 20 commands
[09:29] <llutz> arussel: put the 20 commands into bar.sh and use su foo -c bar.sh
[09:30] <arussel> llutz: makes sense, thanks for your help
[09:30] <geirha> or prepend  sudo -u foo  to each command
[09:34] <jack> could do sudo -u bla (cmd1 && cmd2...)
[09:34] <jack> bash allows bracketing :P
[09:35] <Oli``> or wrap it up: su -c 'bash -c "thing; something else; blah blah"' user
[09:37] <eeos> is there a  way of excluding the sleep / hibernate option on a laptop?
[09:37] <yezariaely1> an apt-get upgrade changed permissions of a socket file. Anyone knows how I could get to know which package was responsible?
[09:37] <jack> Oli, yeah - ; is better than &&
[09:37] <jack> no conditionality :)
[09:38] <Oli> yezariaely1: if the socket if somehow included with a package (shouldn't be, that would be odd IMO) `dpkg -S /path/to/file` would tell you the package that owns the file.
[09:39] <yezariaely1> Oli: no path found matching pattern.
[09:39] <Oli> Otherwise it's something included in a pre/post-inst script. I'd Google for it and you'll probably find the code responsible for doing the chmod.
[09:40] <Oli> Or it could be the application protecting its own socket for you
[09:40] <yezariaely1> Oli: it seems to be a broken script as the owner's name of the file is 4755 (which probably is a chown command instead of a chmod)
[09:40] <yezariaely1> thx
[09:41] <munnj> How do I deal with this when running sudo? /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so no such file or directory
[09:42] <llutz> yezariaely1: grep -r 'path/to/socket' /var/lib/dpkg/info/              might give an idea
[09:43] <gordonjcp> munnj: that's a very unusual error
[09:43] <munnj> gordonjcp: haha, ok.
[09:43] <gordonjcp> munnj: can you think of anything that might have caused that to happen?
[09:43] <buu> munnj: How did you install sudo?
[09:43] <munnj> Nope, I cannot think of anything. This is just a webbserver
[09:43] <munnj> something have snapped that's for sure
[09:44] <Oli> munnj: I assume you can't sudo things so you'd need to reboot into recovery mode (then remount root as writable: `mount -o remount,rw /`) and then I'd play around with reinstalling or dpkg-reconfigure sudo
[09:44] <munnj> yeah Oli. You're right I cannot use sudo. Hmm, wonder how I boot into recovery mode on a virtual server
[09:45] <Oli> It's a webserver and you've lost sudo? I'd be suspicious of a hacked system protecting itself from being wiped.
[09:45] <munnj> Perhaps, it's in russia so I wouldn't be suprised.
[09:45] <munnj> There has been no deface what so ever.
[09:45] <munnj> Yet :D
[09:45] <Oli> munnj: Not easily. Linode will give you virtual physical access but I don't know if other providers to.
[09:46] <Oli> munnj: Defacing is destructuve for everybody involved... If it's been hacked it'll be part of a botnet.
[09:46] <munnj> can you once inside the system reboot into recovery without sudo?
[09:46] <Oli> munnj: no, it's a grub option
[09:46] <yezariaely1> llutz: thx.
[09:48] <Oli> munnj: As I say, this is all provider specific. It seems that many providers seem to have an option for rebooting into a recovery mode of some sort but I wouldn't know what to tell you to look for.
[09:49] <amitprakash> Hi, apt-cache search bugzilla doesn't return the bugzilla package, this is on a ubuntu ec2 instance.. what source do I need to add for aptitude to recognize the package?

[10:12] <NET||abuse> hi folks, i've a usb3 dell monitor, and 2 calbes, one seems to work, but the other usb3 cable doesn't, both are the ones with the big square head on the monitor end with 2 sets of pins, bigger than the old usb2 heads you used to see on usb printers and things, the monitor has 4 usb ports and an sd card reader.. i put a mouse in to the monitor and it doesn't work with the second cable, but does with the
[10:12] <NET||abuse> first..
[10:12] <NET||abuse> the output of the syslog for the usb plugin event of the monitor cable is here http://pastebin.com/SYBs1KQi
[10:13] <NET||abuse> is this just an incompatible cable or is it worth bringing the cable back to maplins and changing for a new one?
[10:17] <hubtrex> 2 unrelated questions: A) does reducing cd burning speed reduce risk of errors?  B) is it possible to install an app on an ubuntu machine that cannot be connected to the internet? (by bringing the packages with flash drive say?)

[10:18] <llutz> hubtrex: A on cheap media, maybe B yes, you need to get the package and ALL dependencies

[11:11] <Paddy_NI> *an mp4
[11:11] <cfhowlett> Paddy_NI, ffmpeg will transcode
[11:12] <kostkon> Paddy_NI, give devede a try

[11:12] <munnj> Oli: you're saying the system is toast?
[11:13] <Paddy_NI> kostkon: Yeah I remember devede always took forever but I guess I am desperate
[11:13] <Paddy_NI> cfhowlett: I have never got the hang of ffpmpeg
[11:13] <Paddy_NI> ffmpeg rather
[11:13] <Oli> munnj: Even if it hasn't been hacked, you're running into multiple corruption issues. I'm saying it'd probably be easier and safer to start afresh
[11:14] <munnj> I've never been so paralyzed with a root account before
[11:14] <cfhowlett> Paddy_NI, to transcode is quite easy.  ffmpeg -i inputvideo.mp4 outputvideo.avi
[11:14] <cfhowlett> or similar
[11:14] <Paddy_NI> cfhowlett: From experience it always results in a poorer quality file
[11:14] <scott3> hi
[11:15] <Paddy_NI> In my experience that is
[11:15] <Oli> fetoega: Are you running 12.04.3 (the latest download) or an earlier build? It seems that ships with 3.8 (the latest HWE stack) so I'm talking nonsense anyway.
[11:15] <kostkon> Paddy_NI, lossy to lossy obviously the video loses some quality
[11:16] <Paddy_NI> kostkon: I don't see how that is obvious
[11:16] <Paddy_NI> kostkon: Take a file as input and make it another file
[11:17] <gordonjcp> Paddy_NI: so, if you use lossy compression to recompress a file, why isn't it obvious that you'd lose quality?
[11:17] <scott3> My computer is broken so I need to copy my files. My home directory is encrypted, I dont have the recovery passphrase but I do have the password I normally login with. Will I be able to decrypt it?
[11:17] <Paddy_NI> gordonjcp: I am looking to convert MP4 to DVD
[11:17] <Paddy_NI> Not avi
[11:19] <andreiiar> Hello. I installed lubuntu on my pendrive but I have problems switching from pc to pc
[11:20] <seriously_random> would anyone mind looking at my xorg.log and telling me if radeon driver is using integrated or dedicated gpu?
[11:20] <seriously_random> http://pastebin.com/F9FgVdTF
[11:22] <scott3> (scott3) My computer is broken so I need to copy my files. My home directory is encrypted, I dont have the recovery passphrase but I do have the password I normally login with. Will I be able to decrypt it?
[11:24] <buu> Quick, I need an alarm program!
[11:25] <gulag2013> scott3, I'm not the most qualified to answer your question, if you get yourself a a sata to usb adapter, you maybe able to login making the drive external on a different machine,
[11:25] <llutz> buu: sleep 25m;beep
[11:25] <buu> I knew someone would say that.
[11:25] <buu> llutz: sleep x; cat /dev/urandom > /dev/snd
[11:25] <buu> Would be more fun
[11:27] <scott3> thanks gulag. i was going to borrow someone elses pc and plug the hdd into the machine
[11:28] <gordonjcp> Paddy_NI: and?
[11:28] <gordonjcp> Paddy_NI: DVD compression is lossy
[11:28] <gulag2013> Good plan, as long as you can get in with your normal password, it should be good.
[11:28] <Paddy_NI> gordonjcp: Why would I need to compress it?
[11:28] <gordonjcp> Paddy_NI: you're making a DVD, right?
[11:28] <Paddy_NI> gordonjcp: The file is only a couple of hundred megabytes
[11:28] <kostkon> Paddy_NI, a dvd video disc is just a data dvd with the mpeg2 video and some extra files. mpeg2 is a lossy format
[11:29] <Paddy_NI> vob files are mp2?
[11:29] <kostkon> Paddy_NI, yes. encrypted mpeg2
[11:29] <ActionPa1snip> Paddy_NI: could use devede to make a video dvd of video clip files
[11:29] <gordonjcp> Paddy_NI: so you need to compress it to MPEG2
[11:32] <buu> Turns out the best one is named alarm-clock
[11:32] <buu> Who knew
[11:33] <andreiiar> I can't decide on one thing. I have a 16GB flash I want lubuntu on it. I installed it normaly but whenver I went to a new computer I had problems with booting it up. I formated the usb dongle and tryed to install it with universal usb installer but I can only make 4GB persistence space
[11:33] <Authentic> could anyone PM me for some help with selfhosted server
[11:33] <ActionPa1snip> buu: there is no single best, it may be bst to you though :)
[11:33] <buu> IT IS THE BEST
[11:33] <buu> I HAVE DECLARED IT
[11:33] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: server of what
[11:33] <FloodBot1> buu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:33] <ActionPa1snip> buu: funny :)
[11:33] <Authentic> web
[11:33] <Authentic> apache
[11:33] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: install apache2 and you have a web serve
[11:33] <ActionPa1snip> r
[11:33] <Authentic> lol
[11:34] <Authentic> already have apache2
[11:34] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: why lol?
[11:34] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: then you have a webserver.   access it via:  http://localhost
[11:34] <Authentic> I've tried apache 2, lampp, bitnami
[11:34] <Authentic> no one of them works
[11:34] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: can you access it via localhost
[11:34] <Authentic> there are something seriously wrong the the filepermissions
[11:35] <buu> Authentic: What errors are you seeing?
[11:35] <buu> Authentic: How are you testing it?'
[11:35] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: you should see 'It Works!'
[11:35] <Authentic> even I set this whole damn box on 777 ot won't let me do anything
[11:35] <buu> Authentic: You aren't being specific
[11:35] <TJ-> Authentic: Read the log-files the daemon writes to, which will indicate the errors, then use that information to correct the problem.
[11:35] <buu> Authentic: Tell us exactly what you've done, exactly what you expect and exactly what you see
[11:36] <groundnuty_> test
[11:36] <groundnuty_> hey, I have a account on debian server. is there a way I can install packages on my account withotu having root? I used to make it with configure -prefix=.... but its pain when updating/removing...
[11:36] <ActionPa1snip> groundnuty_: debian isnt supported here
[11:36] <groundnuty_> ActionPa1snip: ok ubuntu then :)
[11:36] <k1l_> groundnuty_: ask the debian support how to handle that: #debian
[11:36] <ActionPa1snip> groundnuty_: ask in #debian for debian support
[11:37] <groundnuty_> ActionPa1snip: question is more apt-get specyfic
[11:37] <groundnuty_> i think
[11:37] <ActionPa1snip> groundnuty_: doesnt matter, its still debian so not supported here
[11:37] <ActionPa1snip> groundnuty_: its that black and white
[11:37] <k1l_> groundnuty_: its not. debian and ubuntu do handle their root accounts in a  different way
[11:37] <kostkon> groundnuty_, different repos different versions of pacakges, we can't really help you
[11:38] <calimero_82> i've installed vlc but my audio doesn't work
[11:38] <calimero_82> what should i do?
[11:38] <groundnuty_> ok i will come here in 2 days and ask the same question with /ubuntu/ insted of debian...
[11:38] <groundnuty_> srsly, questions is not distro specyfic
[11:38] <Authentic> first of I had this web page. then I installed a security plugin with caused my whole wordpress site to crash. spent 2 weeks trying to manually restore the page copying all the content manually from mysql and installed wordpress from scratch, but it could not work. I couldt not upload, change read or write anything. re installed the entire computer and now I have tried with xampp, apache2 and bitnami
[11:38] <ActionPa1snip> groundnuty_: but the channel is distro specific
[11:38] <k1l_> groundnuty_: m(
[11:39] <k1l_> groundnuty_: then ask in ##linux
[11:39] <Authentic> all of them giving me problems I have never seen before. there some bullshit about all the new updates
[11:39] <Authentic> nuting working anymore. I don't get it. been doing this for years. wtf
[11:39] <groundnuty_> but when I will as for help here using ubuntu word then I might get any insted of the wall: not our distro get out ;>
[11:39] <groundnuty_> kinda not nice
[11:39] <fetoega> where can i get a 12.4.3 netboot image?  the only ones i found on the page is 12.4.0
[11:39] <Authentic> I refuse to go over to windos.
[11:39] <Authentic> hell no
[11:39] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: if you can give specifics we can advise, if you just say "it's broken" how can we possibly advise
[11:40] <Authentic> windows*
[11:40] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: think about it
[11:40] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: then idle threats of Windows...what does that do?
[11:40] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: give details. We need details to help you
[11:40] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: what have you done? What settings have you changed?
[11:41] <ActionPa1snip> Authentic: stuff like taht rather tahn pathetic rants which achieve zero
[11:46] <linux_unix-10> hello
[11:46] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:46] <ActionPa1snip> hi BluesKaj
[11:46] <BluesKaj> hey ActionPa1snip
[11:53] <Bombo> how do i install all dependencies of a .deb file? i did 'dpkg -i foo.deb' it complains about deps, when i do 'apt-get -f install' it just removes the package, it does not instal missing deps...
[11:54] <gulag2013> Install it using synaptic package manager,  just my guess.
[11:55] <Paddy_NI> gordonjcp: This is a nice explanation http://superuser.com/questions/299550/how-to-convert-any-video-to-dvd-vob-in-good-video-quality
[11:55] <Oli> Bombo: The repos will try to provide the dependencies automagically but if they can't, you'll need to provide debs for them too.
[11:58] <Paddy_NI> ActionPa1snip: thanks for your suggestion too :-)
[11:58] <Bombo> Oli: hmm
[11:59] <Bombo> trying to install http://www.instantreality.org/downloads/ InstantReality-Ubuntu-12.04-x64-<IP_ADDRESS>22.deb on 12.10
[12:02] <marcus> hi all. as xmir seems to be dropped for 13.10, i would like to ask if there are any plans for 14.04 available yet?
[12:03] <Oli> Bombo: Yeah it seems to depend on fairly version specific packages (libboost-filesystem1.46.1 for one) which have been updated in newer Ubuntu versions.
[12:04] <kostkon> !info libboost-filesystem quantal
[12:05] <Oli> Yeah, everything else can be satisfied, it's just the dependencies on libboost packages. I'm not even sure if it's safe to install another version alongside (it'll probably conflict). You could install the 12.10 versions of libbost packages and try making dummy packages to satisfy the deps but again, no idea if that'll work.
[12:05] <ActionPa1snip> Paddy_NI: np bro
[12:06] <Jet4Fire> hi all
[12:06] <Bombo> Oli: no idea how i could do that..
[12:08] <Oli> Well for the first bit by installing the various packages you have available that it needs  libboost-program-options libboost-filesystem libboost-date-time libboost-regex libboost-python
[12:09] <Bombo> i could write a complaint into their forum ;)
[12:09] <Oli> And then faking supplied dependencies with equivs: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29918/how-to-trick-apt-dependencies/29921#29921
[12:09] <ActionPa1snip> Oli: what is the output of:   cat /etc/issue
[12:09] <Oli> Bombo: That might work too
[12:10] <Oli> ActionPa1snip: You really mean me?
[12:10] <ActionPa1snip> Oli: who has the issue needing libboost-program-options ?
[12:11] <ActionPa1snip> Bombo: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[12:11] <ActionPa1snip> Oli: I got it ;)
[12:11] <Oli> ActionPa1snip: Bombo - there's an application that they're trying to install that needs a version specific package (ie the version is in the package name) but it isn't available for 12.10... It's all here in the last 20 or so lines.
[12:11] <Bombo> $ cat /etc/issue
[12:11] <Bombo> Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l
[12:12] <adac> #git
[12:13] <ActionPa1snip> marcus: I'd ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:13] <ActionPa1snip> !info libboost-date-time-dev
[12:16] <babinlonston> there are 20 machines in a local area network and all machines are installed with ubuntu 12.04
[12:17] <babinlonston> now i want to access the current users screen graphically how can i get connect and they too need to work at same time
[12:17] <cfhowlett> babinlonston, might be a good query for #ubuntu-server ... or is it a LTSP administration issue?
[12:17] <cfhowlett> !ltsp
[12:17] <ActionPa1snip> babinlonston: vnc can do that, is this to effectively spy on them?
[12:20] <babinlonston> ActionPa1snip: i dont want to spy if there is some issue on there pc i need to solve it from my desk its my need ...
[12:20] <cfhowlett> so ... "monitor" is the correct verb?
[12:21] <ActionPa1snip> babinlonston: then id go for vnc
[12:21] <babinlonston> ActionPa1snip: what i need to do step by step for that
[12:23] <xereuf> is lubuntu lxle ( http://lxle.net/ ) official?
[12:23] <xereuf> looks like it is... they use lubuntu logos and all that... no rebranding...
[12:24] <k1l_> lubuntu is official. dont know what lxle should be
[12:24] <cfhowlett> xereuf, no it's not an official distro ..
[12:24] <xereuf> can you get support for it here?
[12:24] <k1l_> "LXLE is simply a respun Lubuntu OS with different goals." so its a wall-lubuntu :)
[12:25] <k1l_> xereuf: see their website: http://lxle.net/forum/
[12:26] <ActionPa1snip> xereuf: yes Lubuntu is an officially supported release of ubuntu
[12:26] <ActionPa1snip> xereuf: not sure about lxle
[12:26] <xereuf> so say i have lubuntu lxle i could get support here?
[12:26] <DJones> xereuf: http://lxle.net/forum/#/discussion/52/finding-help-in-the-lxle-chatroom-
[12:26] <jony_easyrider> buu, are U still here?
[12:26] <cfhowlett> xereuf, no no and no.   LUBUNTU is supported.  lxle is not.
[12:27] <ActionPa1snip> xereuf: its not an officail canonical release, so no. But if you install Lubuntu you will :)
[12:27] <xereuf> so they are allowed to use lubuntu logos and all that?
[12:27] <cfhowlett> xereuf, except they don't.
[12:28] <xereuf> yes they do, run it and see
[12:28] <cfhowlett> xereuf, no need.  they are using the lxde destkop environment  which is NOT lubuntu.
[12:28] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu
[12:29] <xereuf> they use lubuntu logos NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT
[12:29] <ActionPa1snip> if you want light, install ubuntu minimal then install openbox and slim :)
[12:29] <ActionPa1snip> xereuf: you could contact the lubuntu team to let them know if you are concerned
[12:29] <cfhowlett> xereuf, anyway, offtopic it is.  if you want it, install it and best of luck.  if you want support, install lubuntu.
[12:29] <xereuf> i want light and long life
[12:30] <45PAAAQLL> saludos!
[12:30] <cfhowlett> xereuf, xubuntu and lubuntu would meet those requirements
[12:30] <xereuf> alright, byeall, thanks
[12:31] <TJ-> babinlonston: See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/sharing-desktop.html
[12:31] <ActionPa1snip> xereuf: Lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS (sadly) however Lubuntu 14.04 is LTS (once released)
[12:31] <cfhowlett> xereuf, best of luck

[12:36] <dariusc93_> I have a question. Do anyone have issues with pulseaudio and alsa after installing libpulse0:i386 on ubuntu 13.10? I get a dummy output in the sound settings even after reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio, reloading modules. It only get fixed by me reinstalling ubuntu
[12:36] <k1l_> jony_easyrider: ls -al /root/cifscredentials
[12:36] <ActionPa1snip> dariusc93_: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Saucy support
[12:37] <ActionPa1snip> k1l_: may need sudo ;)
[12:37] <Ben64> on my system, /root is 700 so that would explain why a user can't get in there
[12:37] <ikonia> nothing thouls be in /root - as it's a locked account
[12:38] <ikonia> so cifscredentials should not be in /root
[12:38] <dariusc93_> thanks ActionPa1snip will do
[12:40] <ActionPa1snip> its not bad to put stuff in there as root can mount things, so will have access

[12:49] <ActionPa1snip> xkernel: you've seen that, right?
[12:49] <ActionPa1snip> xkernel: only supports Precise (the PPA)
[12:49] <xkernel> ActionPa1snip, i will check
[12:49] <ActionPa1snip> xkernel: you could contact Jonathan to see if he'll support Raring
[12:50] <xkernel> ActionPa1snip, Ubuntu 13.10 is coming soon so no need to support the current one

[12:57] <Sammil> First of all hello to all, secondly I am having an issue with Ubuntu 13.04, it installs correctly but after one or two reboots the GUI is refusing to start up. Trying to manually startx gives the 'no screens found' error and reconfiguring xserver-xorg doesn't seem to do anything at all.
[12:58] <swaagie> krux: yeah already found/read that one, that didn't resolve aything
[12:58] <swaagie> only thing I can think of is the accidental download + opening the 32bit dropbox pkg
[12:59] <swaagie> that died pretty hard on me yesterday, as im on 64bit xD
[12:59] <swaagie> but that might not even be related, checking the reference to gnome-sudoku atm
[13:02] <ActionPa1snip> Sammil: what GPU do you use?
[13:02] <Sammil> ActionPa1snip: it's an amd 7970m

[13:03] <Sammil> ActionPa1snip: I think I did, please let me check for one moment.
[13:03] <ActionPa1snip> Sammil: dpkg -l | grep fgl
[13:04] <bwayne> greetings earth_creatures
[13:06] <Sammil> ActionPa1snip: No I haven't installed them yet. I shall install them right away. The strange thing I just notice though is if i reboot it then it works fine. Only when i do a cold boot it seems to occur
[13:06] <ActionPa1snip> Sammil: do you also have an Nvidia or other graphics chip in the mix, or do you only use the ATI GPU in your CPU
[13:07] <Sammil> I have an intel GPU as well in my CPU
[13:08] <ActionPa1snip> Sammil: so if you run:   sudo lshw -C display     you have an Intel GPU and an ATI one?

[13:10] <luv_buntu> help: can someone teach me creating a startup script?
[13:10] <TJ-> swaagie: I noticed you started software-center using "sudo". That isn't required. Have you tried starting it as a regular user? Does it hit the same issue?
[13:10] <luv_buntu> i tried google, admittedly without success.
[13:11] <ddwolf> hi there, I want to write a [.msg] file with java, How can I do that?
[13:11] <ActionPa1snip> swaagie: use gksudo for GUI apps, not sudo
[13:11] <ActionPa1snip> ddwolf: try asking in #java
[13:11] <swaagie> TJ-: yeah same error, equal stack
[13:11] <ddwolf> ActionPa1snip thank u

[13:12] <luv_buntu> hi bwayne,
[13:12] <Sammil> ActionPa1snip: I shall look at the pages. I just installed the driver and will see if with a cold boot up he still has the issue
[13:12] <kazak1377> Hey. Please, somebody suggest me an easy-to-use sqlquery sender via odbc
[13:12] <ddwolf> ActionPa1snip: Gotcha~~
[13:12] <luv_buntu> i need something to run on startup of my xubuntu.
[13:12] <ActionPa1snip> healhter: is the OS fully updated?
[13:12] <swaagie> ActionPa1snip: does gobble up the error though ;)
[13:13] <TJ-> swaagie: What does this report? "apt-cache policy launchpad-integration"
[13:13] <luv_buntu> bwayne, 1st of all, how to create a script?
[13:13] <ActionPa1snip> luv_buntu: if you make a .desktop file and put it in ~/.config/autostart   you can run what you want :)
[13:13] <healhter> yes i downloaded the image yesterday and used the softwareupdater
[13:13] <healhter> it reports that everything is up to date
[13:13] <swaagie> TJ-: N: Unable to locate package launchpad-integration
[13:13] <ActionPa1snip> luv_buntu: you can even have it run a script and you can edit the script if you want to change it
[13:13] <bwayne> luv_buntu: you may not need to if that is your goal. ActionPa1snip has given you a way to autostart a program upon your login. Is this what you're trying to accomplish?
[13:14] <ddwolf> ActionPa1snip: I cant join java with "you must be invited"
