[00:00] <syntroPi> wildwind, that dvblast was quite a nice tip, now i can stream all channels from one bouquet (same frequency) as multicast to my lan :))
[00:00] <wildwind> moses_: do you have another Ubuntu machine in your network to test with?
[00:01] <moses_> i do not
[00:01] <binBlob> I am getting randomly this error in my concole: ERROR     Error executing hooks: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
[00:01] <binBlob> wth is that ?
[00:02] <binBlob> kk have it figured out!
[00:03] <wildwind> moses_: ok let's test it locally with sftp command in terminal
[00:03] <moses_> wait
[00:03] <moses_> wildwind:
[00:03] <moses_> actually I would like to make a directory and give everyone full access to it
[00:04] <wildwind> so what's the problem with it
[00:06] <ibo> hi! to all
[00:08] <ibo> i have a problem with the keyboard some of the cracters are not in they re places, spanish keyboard asus eeepc 1001px
[00:08] <reddeath68> When I run the command 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' in ubuntu 13.04 x86 i get the following output 'ERROR: could not insert 'ndiswrapper': Exec format error     any ideas how I can remedy this problem?
[00:09] <moses_> how do you give read/write full access to a folder?
[00:09] <moses_> what man page do i need to look up to learn this

[00:13] <zerai> hello everyone. What is the font I need for chinese fonts from command line?
[00:13] <zerai> (and the package name)
[00:17] <betrayd> zerai why not try apt-cache search searchterm, replace searchterm with your own, that might gie you a good lead
[00:20] <Qbrt> Hello
[00:22] <zerai> betrayd, I've been searching. and having no luck. it's supposed to be GBK 32 for the font, but I can't find it
[00:22] <Crono95> Bello
[00:22] <Crono95> Hello*
[00:23] <Qbrt> wazzup?
[00:23] <Crono95> Nada, u?
[00:23] <Qbrt> wut u meen nada?
[00:23] <ibo> nothing in spanish
[00:23] <Qbrt> ah, ok
[00:24] <Crono95> Means... Nothing
[00:24] <Qbrt> u speek spanish?
[00:24] <ibo> yes i do
[00:24] <Crono95> Bah
[00:24] <Crono95> Not really
[00:25] <Qbrt> ah speek spanish: mi mama me mima
[00:25] <Qbrt> ese oso se asea
[00:25] <Crono95> LOL
[00:25] <Dr_willis> Nacho Grande Por favore... :)
[00:25] <ibo> lol
[00:25] <betrayd> zerai your search term is what, maybe too specific
[00:26] <puff> I resized a partition and then on bootup ubuntu told me there were "serious errors" with the partition.
[00:26] <Crono95> In chatting from my phone so excuse the errors...
[00:26] <puff> So I left it unmounted and finished booting... how do I check on what happened?

[00:27] <binBlob> s1 familiar with bittorrent sync in here ?
[00:27] <inspiron3> can anyone help me w/ my headphone jack not working after some update ran for 12.04LTS
[00:27] <surfdaemon> binBlob: i've used it
[00:27] <sere> 23223
[00:27] <ugly_duck> hiya, i'm playing an online flash game, i've been asked to run windows xdiags to send them the output, what is the ubuntu equivilent?
[00:28] <binBlob> surfdaemon: how do i connect 2 linux machines through the minimal web gui ??
[00:28] <Qbrt> is anyone working with ubuntu studio here?
[00:28] <surfdaemon> binBlob: create the secret for the folder on one machine, and then on the second machine paste that secret into the box for the secret when adding the folder.
[00:29] <zerai> betrayd, apt-cache search gbk / apt-cache search chinese
[00:29] <ibo> inspirion3 wich kind of computer are u using_
[00:29] <ibo> ?
[00:29] <betrayd> zerai also try language?
[00:29] <OerHeks> Qbrt, there is an #ubuntu-studio channel
[00:30] <inspiron3> @ibo dell e1505...   dont know the exact inspiron model number
[00:30] <inspiron3> its an old laptop
[00:30] <betrayd> oh and the cn channel...
[00:30] <inspiron3> @ibo updates ran, broke sound, at the time, I thought I did it... so I reinstalled the OS... same issue.
[00:30] <betrayd> !cn
[00:31] <surfdaemon> binBlob: I'm using the config files though.  Was easier for me to work out the config once and copy it to other machines, not opening up a webgui for all of them.
[00:31] <ibo> i had problems with the internal microphone with an asus eeepc 1001px with 10.04 ubuntu
[00:31] <inspiron3> @ibo speakers work fine, I watch the sound settings, when I plugin headphones, I see it switch, but theres no sound
[00:31] <binBlob> surfdaemon: buhh I am so lazy that I want to configure this out over the gui ;/
[00:32] <ibo> and i did compiled the last kernel stable
[00:32] <zerai> betrayd, brings up a LOT of results, having nothing to do with fonts
[00:32] <inspiron3> so I saw some forum posts about the asus, but I didn't know what I need to do for the dell
[00:32] <binBlob> surfdaemon: the gui dont seem to have a add folder option
[00:32] <ibo>  and did work, but my webcam then wasn-t working the webcam
[00:32] <zerai> betrayd, I don't speak chinese, some of the programs I use are coded in chinese though
[00:34] <ibo> so with the 12.04 now is runing everything
[00:35] <ibo> so might be the kernel if at the gurb they may put a option to run it with the old kernel if i-m not wrong
[00:35] <ibo> so run it with the new
[00:35] <surfdaemon> binBlob: I see it on mine, it was a button on the localhost:8888/gui/
[00:35] <inspiron3> downgrade the kernel you're saying?
[00:36] <ibo> u did and upgrade of the 10 t0 12 right?
[00:37] <inspiron3> fresh install of 12.04 today
[00:38] <ibo> okay don-t know, might be working if compile the last kernel stable, just an idea, does someone a better answer?
[00:39] <WeThePeople> how do i cd to the network?
[00:40] <binBlob> surfdaemon: ahh now i've got it, its for sharing and reciving
[00:41] <betrayd> zerai no i mean use the searchterm 'language'
[00:43] <binBlob> kk I'm out bb everyone
[00:48] <wildwind> WeThePeople: explain please what you mean
[00:49] <Fudge> anyone have experience creating meta packages, have two packages that wont install, could be because they are in universe?
[00:49] <WeThePeople> wildwind, i dual boot win8 x64 and ubuntu 12.04.4 x64, in the network dir. there are windows file sharing devices 'connected' to my computer that i do not want there, i am trying to remove them
[00:51] <wildwind> WeThePeople: what the network dir?
[00:51] <WeThePeople> and nautilus says it cant handle network///
[00:51] <WeThePeople> yes
[00:52] <wildwind> WeThePeople: ah Nautilus
[00:52] <WeThePeople> ubuntu is picking up those devices from windows
[00:52] <Dr_willis> WeThePeople,  what service is ot accessing? Samba? if so  its   smb://servername/   (or ip#)
[00:52] <tones>  ubuntu phone is coming ubuntu phone is coming
[00:52] <Dr_willis> smb://servernameorip/sharename
[00:52] <surfdaemon> tones: when?
[00:52] <WeThePeople> dr_willis, thanks
[00:52] <Dr_willis> tones,  i will belive it when i see it in the stores.
[00:52] <surfdaemon> I'll believe it when it's in my cold dead hand.
[00:53] <wildwind> WeThePeople: where do you see them then, if Nautilus can't open it?
[00:53] <Dr_willis> WeThePeople,  the network:// i think is like special location that scans all the network. but i cant recall ever using it.
[00:53] <Dr_willis> WeThePeople,  you can also mount samba shares by hand to a local directroy
[00:53] <tones> was just watching the youtube videos of the phone, interface looks good
[00:54] <WeThePeople> wildwind, gksudo cant handle it
[00:54] <WeThePeople> it is smb
[00:54] <Dr_willis> tones,  personally i was not that impressed.. but it will be some time i imagine befor you can actually get a device like it from a major carrier.
[00:54] <Dr_willis> WeThePeople,  if you ran nautilus  with gksudo. it may be trying to access the shares as  the 'root' user. not your normal user name.
[00:55] <WeThePeople> thats it then
[00:55] <Dr_willis> i cant see any reason to try to access samba shares as root. ;)
[00:56] <Quest> how to tcpdum whois somedomain.com ?
[00:57] <wildwind> Quest: run tcpdump in one terminal and whois in another
[00:58] <Quest> wildwind,  $ tcpdump eth0
[00:58] <Quest> tcpdump: no suitable device found
[00:58] <Dr_willis> ifconfig should show what devices are there
[00:59] <wildwind> Quest: -i eth0
[01:00] <puff> Anybody know more about this "serious errors found" on disk check?
[01:00] <puff> wildwind: try "ifconfig -a" to list all devices.
[01:01] <Dr_willis> puff,  could be you need to fsck the filesystem from a live cd.
[01:01] <Quest> hx wildwind
[01:09] <puff> Dr_willis: It's unmounted now (it's my bulk data partition). Any particular reason I need to fsck it from a live partition instead of from the regular shell?
[01:10] <wildwind> puff: anything interesting in logs?
[01:15] <puff> wildwind: Not that I can tell, but I'm not sure where to look.
[01:16] <puff> wildwind: The partition is on /dev/sda4, so I grepped /var/log for sda4, only got a few lines and nothing obviously wrong.
[01:16] <puff> Ah, boot.log...
[01:17] <puff> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705366/
[01:18] <tones> in ubuntu 10.04 I'm not able to install the google voice download through gmai, using ff or chrome, the button won't click googled it, nada
[01:18] <tones> gmai gmail
[01:19] <Gnea> tones: why use 10.04 still?
[01:19] <tones>  Gnea, cuz I tried unetbootin with 12 and it wouldnt boot
[01:19] <puff> Hm, so it says "the filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 85817856 blocks\n The physical size of the device is 85817825 blocks.\n  Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt."
[01:20] <tones> on a usb
[01:20] <tones> and 13, when I click on a unity panel, screen freezes in pixilation
[01:20] <tones> and 10 is smooth
[01:20] <Gnea> tones: 12.04 or 12.10 is what you tried?
[01:20] <tones> 12.04 unetbootin usb
[01:21] <Gnea> tones: old hardware?
[01:21] <puff> This is almost certainly because I use the centos installer to shrink that partition.
[01:21] <tones> athlon yes
[01:21] <Gnea> tones: okay, so what is this 'google voice' thing you're trying to install?
[01:21] <Gnea> tones: I know what google voice is, I just don't understand what sort of integration you're trying to achieve
[01:22] <zerai> question: If a font for a foreign language is installed, and should be workign but is not, is there any way to set that locale in an sh file so that program runs with that locale?
[01:22] <tones> http://www.google.com/intl/en/chat/voice/
[01:22] <wildwind> puff: soryy, have to go now, but i'd take the suggestion and run fsck again
[01:22] <tones> I can't click on that and install
[01:22] <puff> wildwind: Thanks.
[01:23] <Dr_willis> tones,  download the .deb and sudo gdebi foo.deb   perhaps?
[01:23] <LinuxNewbie> hello, is there any way to find what files are contained in a package and where those files will be installed ?
[01:23] <Gnea> tones: neither can I. Hrm.
[01:23] <LinuxNewbie> before apt-get install package-name
[01:23] <wildwind> puff: take a dd backup before, if you have enough space
[01:23] <Dr_willis> LinuxNewbie,  the synaptic package manager shows what files are in the .deb/package in the details tab   also
[01:24] <LinuxNewbie> Dr_willis,  is there anyway not to use synaptic ?
[01:24] <Dr_willis> LinuxNewbie,  or download the .deb and look.   why does it matter?
[01:24] <xeviox_> Hey, a seemingly successful install of ubuntu 13.04 won't boot... I've never had this issue with any other version of ubuntu - anyone know what might be the culprit?
[01:25] <tones> Dr_willis, in the software center it says the deb and gdebi packages are already installed
[01:25] <LinuxNewbie> Dr_willis, just because i want to know what files a package contain before installing it and where those files will be placed ...ok ...i'll try to download a .deb and then look at it
[01:25] <rypervenche> LinuxNewbie: I believe there are ways to do it. I'm not sure with Debian-based distros though, I think there's apt-file(s)
[01:26] <wildwind> LinuxNewbie: apt-get download, then dpkg -L
[01:26] <rypervenche> LinuxNewbie: wildwind's way is faster though.
[01:26] <puff> wildwind: I don't have the space, but it's a bulk data partition, so most of what's on it should be recoverable by other means.
[01:26] <tones> synaptic package manager, gdebi installer and gdebi core are installed
[01:26] <puff> wildwind: e.g. re-ripping CDs, re-downloading tar files ore installers, etc.
[01:27] <tones> Gnea, what version are you using?
[01:27] <puff> Dr_willis: Can you suggest some good google search terms for this?
[01:27] <Gnea> tones: honestly, whenever I click on the 'call phone' button on the side of my gmail display, it brings up the dialing dialog
[01:27] <Gnea> tones: 12.04
[01:27] <tones> Gnea, but can you make a call?
[01:27] <LinuxNewbie> wildwind, dpgk -L it's useful if i have installed the package ...or at least this is what know so far...ty ...i'll have a look
[01:27] <Gnea> tones: so it 'just works'
[01:27] <Gnea> tones: sec
[01:27] <Gnea> tones: ah no, it takes me to the same link
[01:28] <tones> Gnea, same here, so what's the solution
[01:28] <rypervenche> LinuxNewbie: dpkg is for .deb files.
[01:28] <tones> I want to use google voice,
[01:28] <tones> but if you're on 12 that's not the issue
[01:28] <xeviox_> Hey, a seemingly successful install of ubuntu 13.04 won't boot... I've never had this issue with any other version of ubuntu - anyone know what might be the culprit? there's no UEFI entry in the bios could be the problem?
[01:28] <LinuxNewbie> rypervenche, ok ...ty
[01:29] <zerai> !repeat xeviox_
[01:29] <Dr_willis> xeviox_,  id try that boot-repair tool from a live cd and se eif it can straighten it out
[01:29] <Gnea> tones: I'm going to figure that out right now :-)
[01:29] <Dr_willis> !fixgrub
[01:29] <tones> Gnea, ok let  me know
[01:29] <zerai> lol I botched the command
[01:30] <xeviox_> Dr_willis, Already tried that - no avail I'm afraid
[01:30] <zerai> question: If a font for a foreign language is installed, and should be workign but is not, is there any way to set that locale in an sh file so that program runs with that locale?
[01:31] <Dr_willis> you can  do somthing like LOCALE=whatever  command
[01:31] <rypervenche> zerai: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
[01:31] <rypervenche> zerai: Change which the locale you want to use.
[01:31] <Dr_willis> or export the variable, then run the command
[01:32] <zerai> rypervenche, in the sh file?
[01:32] <rypervenche> zerai: Yep, which locale do you want to use?
[01:32] <zerai> rypervenche, so like.. set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
[01:32] <zerai> simplified chinese
[01:32] <rypervenche> zerai: If you want to use that locale throughout the entire script, go ahead and do "export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" at the beginning of the script.
[01:33] <zerai> ok, and then it will be normal for everything but that script?
[01:33] <rypervenche> Yep.
[01:33] <zerai> I'll give it a shot
[01:33] <zerai> and see if that works
[01:33] <rypervenche> zerai: PM me if it doesn't work. I know enough 中文 to get by to be able to help.
[01:35] <Gnea> tones: figured it out. someone made a ppa:  http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_talk_plugin
[01:36] <Pillock> just installed Plex Media Server how do I point it to the downloads folder on my laptop?
[01:36] <Gnea> tones: there's a button labeled "All versions of google-talkplugin'" that will take you to the 10.04 version
[01:36] <Gnea> tones: it has 32bit and 64bit
[01:36] <Pyru> Hi there. Installed the latest Ubuntu. I have an nvidia card, with bumblebee installed. Now is there a way to get the discrete GPU to run compize? Visual effects are "laggy", minimizing windows, opening the menu, etc.
[01:37] <Dr_willis> sounds lik eyour drivers may not be in use. or are goofed up.
[01:37] <Dr_willis> what is your specific cards? it may be you are not using the nvidia card
[01:37] <Gnea> tones: and yes, I just made a phone call with it.
[01:38] <Pyru> Dr_willis: I'm using a GeForce 600M GTX . optirun glxspheres, I get > 200 FPS
[01:38] <Pyru> 660M GTX* sorry
[01:39] <Gnea> tones: thanks! I didn't even know I had the same problem lol
[01:39] <Dr_willis> Pyru,  could be theres some trick to get the whole desktop to be on the nvidia card. I dont use  Bumblebee/that stuff..
[01:39] <xeviox_> Apparently it's a kernel bug with my motherboard, probably just going to stick with 12.10 then... good waste of a few hours I guess
[01:39] <Dr_willis> xeviox_,  theres the mainstream kernels you can try
[01:40] <xeviox_> Dr_willis, I'd be clueless trying to patch it, but thanks
[01:41] <Dr_willis> xeviox_,  patch? Hmm. I just started using the 3.9 kernel from the mainstream repos.  dident patch anything. it fixed a few issues i had.
[01:41] <tones> Gnea, it works now, yes, thank you :)
[01:41] <tones> another daily ubuntu nugget
[01:41] <xeviox_> Dr_willis, I'm not even able to boot in to the system though - so there's not an awful lot I can do, is there?
[01:42] <tones> Gnea, google voice gonna save me lots of prepaid minutes
[01:44] <surfdaemon> xeviox_: chroot?
[01:44] <Gnea> tones: :-)
[01:46] <tones> Gnea, what did you type into google to find that link, google talk plugin ubuntu doesnt show the link
[01:49] <music> vv
[01:49] <xeviox_> surfdaemon, i'll give it a go
[01:51] <tones> yes it does
[01:52] <djshotglass> i have a usb stick i would like to be able to boot from any of 3 isos
[01:52] <djshotglass> possible?
[01:52] <djshotglass> gparted, ubuntu, arch linux
[01:52] <Dr_willis> djshotglass,  grub2 can boot iso files from a USB drive - yes...
[01:52] <Dr_willis> its very possible.
[01:53] <Dr_willis> the Pendrivelinux site even has tools to do it for you
[01:53] <djshotglass> nice
[01:53] <tones> djshotglass, pendrivelinux yumi too
[01:53] <Dr_willis> you can slso setup grub2 on your installed system to boot iso files
[01:53] <puff> So how reliable is gparted for fixing this sort of stuff?
[01:53] <tones> for windows
[01:54] <Dr_willis> gparted is pretty much the main tool for messing with partions (in a gui way)
[01:54] <puff> boot.log (http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705366/) says "the filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 85817856 blocks\n The physical size of the device is 85817825 blocks.\n  Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt."  This is almost certainly because I used the centos installer to shrink that partition.  Thinking of using gparted to fix it.
[01:55] <rypervenche> puff: It looks like you shrunk it too much.
[01:56] <Dr_willis> gparted should be able to fix it.
[01:57] <puff> Hm... I could swear I had more than 30GB of free space on that partition.
[01:57] <puff> But if I *did* shrink it too much, is there any way to recover/restore it?
[01:58] <Dr_willis> you might not have lost any data.. its just a  few blocks differance
[01:59] <rypervenche> puff: I would try to increase the size of the partition and then then file system.
[01:59] <echoe__> 30!
[02:01] <jgcampbell300> I have 10-15 ubuntu desktops and several ubuntu servers around 20 or so on my lan at home (mostly for testing) I would like to setup either a proxy or repo ... i was looking at apt-cacher but it requires changing the source list ... my question is does anyone know of a way to setup something to (for the lack of the proper term) cache all updates that are requested on the lan with out changeing the client computers ?
[02:02] <Dr_willis> apt-cacher-ng requires i think one extra file in the /etc/apt/config dirs
[02:02] <Dr_willis> ive used it on my home lan befor.. was rather easy to setup
[02:03] <Dr_willis> i doubt if theres going to be an easy way to 'force' all the updates from a lan machine  without changeing settings on each client
[02:04] <jgcampbell300> nice ill have to check it out ... thanks ... just really do not want to have to make changes to every build as i go throu a few builds a day some times
[02:04] <Dr_willis> i just seem to recall needing to cut/paste/add one file.  but its been a while
[02:04] <jgcampbell300> I was thinking there must be some way of adding dns options to point all updates going throu the router to a cache server
[02:05] <djshotglass> jgcampbell300 do you run a computer as a router?
[02:05] <djshotglass> squid cache would probably do it
[02:05] <djshotglass> packages are all http arent they?
[02:05] <jgcampbell300> djshotglass, yes
[02:06] <puff> jgcampbell300: you could always run a local DNS server and then have a machine that impersonates the main repos.
[02:06] <jgcampbell300> squid cache ... thats what i was reading on last time i had this thought ... thanks ... will be back in a few going to go do some reading
[02:06] <WeThePeople> how would i flipover and unreverse a stream from streamtuner2
[02:07] <syntroPi> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnsmasq
[02:07] <DrFoo> can I have a host file with the same host name listed with multiple ips?
[02:08] <echoe__> Umm ... why?
[02:08] <Dr_willis> DrFoo,  yes i belive that can work.. a common trick is to 'ad block' some sites by pointing their hostname to <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:08] <Dr_willis> or am i backwards in what you said?
[02:09] <Dr_willis> otherwise it made no sense. ;P
[02:09] <rypervenche> You did it backward.
[02:10] <puff> jgcampbell300: Oh, good point... you could just create a host file pointing the repo domain at some local server, and deploy that to all of your machines.
[02:10] <Dr_willis> the we have to wonder why.. ;P
[02:10] <DrFoo> Dr_willis: I want my home server to have multiple ip addresses in the hosts file
[02:10] <rypervenche> DrFoo: For what reason?
[02:10] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[02:11] <DrFoo> I would like to try the local private IP when I'm home, but when I'm remote, I'd like it to use the vpn ip
[02:11] <earl1> hello
[02:11] <Oddity> hi
[02:12] <ThePendulum> I have switched from FreeNAS to Ubuntu, but I need to recover my ZFS HDDS. I am now at the point where I have successfully mounted my zpool. However, the directories inside still aren't accessible (unrecognized filetype). Any assistance?
[02:12] <earl1> May I ask a question? I need help with iptables
[02:12] <Oddity> sure. you don't have to ask to ask.
[02:12] <echoe__> How about a subdomain?
[02:15] <earl1> when attempting to save a iptables config with "sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" I get a "bash : /etc/iptables.rules: Permission denied" messeage
[02:15] <earl1> Do you know why?
[02:15] <earl1> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[02:15] <ThePendulum> earl1: Try to use sudo
[02:15] <earl1> I…did...
[02:16] <ThePendulum> earl1: Wait, you are
[02:16] <ThePendulum> My bad
[02:16] <earl1> lol
[02:16] <ThePendulum> Give me a break, it's 4:15am :P
[02:16] <earl1> This is most frustrating.
[02:16] <Dr_willis> you dont use sudo directly with >
[02:16] <earl1> 21:16, here.
[02:16] <Dr_willis> do a ''sudo -s' or you use 'tee' in the sudo command somehow i recall
[02:16] <ThePendulum> Anyway, no one on the ZFS pool? Otherwise I'm going to bed and ask again tomorrow.
[02:17] <earl1> "sudo -s" does the same
[02:17] <Dr_willis> if youi do sudo -s
[02:17] <Dr_willis> then from the root shell  do a  command > foo   it should  work. try it in your root home dir
[02:17] <earl1> I've been stumped all day. It worked before
[02:18] <earl1> :C
[02:18] <Dr_willis> I dont een know what output iptables-savbve does
[02:18] <OerHeks> sudo sh -c "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules"
[02:18] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[02:18] <Dr_willis> iptables-save | vi     ;)
[02:18] <rypervenche> earl1: I personally log into root to do these types of things. "sudo -i" then run it, "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules"
[02:18] <earl1> I am in root
[02:19] <OerHeks> rypervenche + 1 within " "
[02:19] <Dr_willis> echo 'hello' > foo     as a test?
[02:20] <earl1> Permission denied
[02:20] <earl1> bash: foo: Permission denied
[02:20] <rypervenche> earl1: Type "whoami"
[02:20] <earl1> it displays my root account
[02:20] <earl1> namw
[02:20] <earl1> name*
[02:20] <rypervenche> earl1: Did you run that with sudo or without?
[02:20] <earl1> without
[02:21] <rypervenche> earl1: Ok, type "pwd"
[02:21] <Dr_willis>  the / is not mounted read only is it?
[02:21] <rypervenche> Probably is.
[02:21] <OerHeks> earl1, "WARNING: Iptables and NetworkManager can conflict. "
[02:22] <earl1> Mounted as read only?
[02:22] <earl1> How would I do that?
[02:22] <Dr_willis> see what the mount command says about it
[02:22] <Dr_willis> if the filesystem has issues.. it CAN get remounted read only
[02:22] <dr3mro> Hello , I have an issue with a package in ubuntu and I fix it by configure the source code and make but I wantbto make a package in ppa to friends how I change compile arguments on launchpad?
[02:22] <rypervenche> earl1: Just keep going, give us the output of "pwd" and also "mount | grep ro"
[02:23] <earl1> "pwd" returns "/etc/network"
[02:25] <djshotglass> jgcampbell300 make sure you set maximum_object_size 1024 MB
[02:25] <rypervenche> earl1: and the mount command?
[02:25] <djshotglass> and have a nice big drive on squid server
[02:25] <jgcampbell300> ya was just reading that ... and there are some problems with updateing to old updates
[02:27] <earl1> "sudo mount | grep ro" returns "/dev/sda2 on /type ext4 (rw,erros=remount-ro)" | proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[02:27] <rypervenche> earl1: Why are you using sudo if you are already root?
[02:27] <earl1> habit
[02:27] <earl1> lol
[02:28] <Dr_willis> check mount command output for info on your '/' partition    seems odd it wasent mentioned in your optput above
[02:28] <earl1> Shall i try it without using sudo?
[02:28] <Dr_willis> oh wait.. it as a missing space...
[02:28] <earl1> How?
[02:28] <rypervenche> earl1: Ah ok, what does "ls -ld /etc/network" give you?
[02:28] <Dr_willis>  /dev/sda2 on  /       type ext4
[02:28] <Dr_willis> ;)
[02:29] <Dr_willis>   /  is mounted Read/write it seems
[02:30] <earl1> "ls -ld /etc/network" returns "ls cannot access etc/network: No such file or directory"
[02:31] <earl1> opps
[02:31] <rypervenche> earl1: You typed something incorrectly then.  Are you missing an s?
[02:31] <earl1> i mean
[02:32] <earl1> drwxr-xr-x 6 root 4096 Aug  2012 /etc/network
[02:32] <rypervenche> earl1: and "ls -ld /etc" ?
[02:34] <earl1> drwxr-xr-x 127 root root 12288 May 26  2012 15:21 /etc
[02:34] <earl1> what do these sates mean?
[02:34] <earl1> dates*
[02:35] <rypervenche> earl1: You should be good there. You don't need to worry about the dates. It should be the modified time.
[02:35] <rypervenche> earl1: Try "cd /etc; touch testfile"
[02:36] <earl1> touch: cannot touch 'testfile': Permission denied
[02:36] <echoe__> Too hard to resist command name jokes. Real bad ones.
[02:37] <echoe__> Is etc supposed to have a sticky bit? Maybe its immutible
[02:37] <rypervenche> earl1: It sounds like your hard drive is read-only right now.
[02:37] <earl1> why would it be that?
[02:37] <rypervenche> I can't imagine that it would have the immutible bit on it or the sticky bit.
[02:37] <echoe__> Earl can you cd / touch testfile ?
[02:37] <rypervenche> I have seen a drive be read-only and not show up in mount that way.
[02:38] <echoe__> Rypervenche, true
[02:38] <rypervenche> dmesg could confirm it I suppose.
[02:38] <rypervenche> or /var/log/messages
[02:38] <rypervenche> Perhaps...
[02:38] <Dr_willis> filesystem could be messed up.. or his /etc/ is on a differnt partion.. that would be weird..
[02:38] <Dr_willis> or hes not root. ;) but he said he was
[02:38] <Dr_willis> touch /testfile
[02:39] <Dr_willis> touch /etc/testfile
[02:39] <Dr_willis> both 'should' work
[02:39] <earl1> I just installed it
[02:39] <rypervenche> earl1: Do "touch /testfile"
[02:39] <echoe__> That!

[02:40] <earl1> I just installed this
[02:40] <echoe__> Doh.
[02:40] <rypervenche> earl1: Maybe try "dmesg | grep -i only"
[02:40] <earl1> Did I install it wrong?
[02:40] <echoe__> Earl what does your command prompt say
[02:40] <echoe__> Sudo touch /testfile ? :p
[02:41] <earl1> no return, echo
[02:41] <rypervenche> ...
[02:41] <rypervenche> You're not root then.
[02:41] <Saiki> earl1: try sudo chmod 755 <filename> && touch <filename>
[02:41] <echoe__> Lol.
[02:42] <rypervenche> earl1: The problem is that you are not root.
[02:42] <echoe__> :D

[02:44] <dez82> hi all
[02:44] <earl1> hi
[02:45] <dez82> is anyone here running ringtail with an ATI video card?
[02:45] <earl1> ryper, Permission denied
[02:45] <dez82> ?
[02:45] <dez82> i need to ask about the proprietary driver
[02:46] <dez82> with unity
[02:46] <echoe__> So tempted to just say sudo -i
[02:46] <echoe__> But that is dangeroussss
[02:46] <Saiki> yea, try sudo -i
[02:46] <Saiki> echoe__, that's what "logout" is for :P
[02:47] <Dr_willis> echoe__,  more dangerous then messing with iptables and sudo > , and not understanding the basics of sudo? ;)
[02:47] <echoe__> Rm rf / logout?
[02:47] <echoe__> :p
[02:47] <earl1> I sudo -i'd
[02:47] <echoe__> Ah hell I was taught in root so I have no idea what is and isn't safe
[02:47] <earl1> says, root@<name>
[02:47] <echoe__> Root access for everything!!!
[02:48] <Dr_willis> now you are 'root' earl1  - be  carefull witbh root access
[02:48]  * rypervenche rolls eyes.
[02:48] <earl1> Wasn't I root before?
[02:48] <betrayd> thats why I have guake for
[02:48] <Saiki> no
[02:48] <Dr_willis> earl1,  aparently not...
[02:48] <earl1> Isn't default account root
[02:48] <Dr_willis> earl1,  'touch /testfile'  should work now.
[02:48] <earl1> ?
[02:48] <Dr_willis> earl1,  DEFINATLY NOT
[02:48] <Saiki> earl1, and to get out of root, simply type "log out"
[02:48] <Dr_willis> defqault account has SUDO RIGHTS.
[02:49] <Saiki> earl1, and to get out of root, simply type "logout"  *
[02:49] <earl1> or "exit"?
[02:49] <bity> dez82, i've ran it on my radeon
[02:49] <rypervenche> earl1: exit is fine, yes.
[02:49] <Dr_willis> logout = exit   i belive
[02:49] <bodom> Is there any tool to check actual file permissions against original packager's ones?
[02:49] <dez82> bity: with prop driver?
[02:49] <bity> idk it worked default
[02:49] <earl1> I never had this prob before
[02:50] <bity> i didnt do any gaming on it, but it worked
[02:50] <rypervenche> earl1: Now that you are root (root@<name>) you can run commands without any problems. You do not need to add "sudo" before any of the commands that you use.
[02:50] <Dr_willis> earl1,  then you have been doing somthing very weird befor...
[02:50] <Saiki> exit works on root?
[02:50] <Dr_willis> exit logs you out of the current shell
[02:50] <Saiki> I thought that was for somethingvery different
[02:50] <echoe__> Earl, you weren't root before. Welcome to the magical world of few restraints
[02:50] <earl1> what did the touch command do?
[02:50] <Dr_willis> whatever user you are looged in..
[02:51] <Dr_willis> earl1,  made a empty file as a test
[02:51] <echoe__> Touch makes a file.
[02:51] <rypervenche> earl1: It created an empty file in your / directory.
[02:51] <rypervenche> earl1: You can leave it there. I wouldn't advice removing it lol.
[02:52] <earl1> Y not?
[02:52] <rypervenche> earl1: Seeing your record you may end up removing more important files.
[02:52] <earl1> haha
[02:52] <earl1> I would be careful
[02:52] <rypervenche> earl1: But you can remove it with "rm -f /testfile"
[02:52] <Saiki> earl: if you mess up the command in "/" you can kill the entire OS
[02:53] <earl1> lol
[02:53] <earl1> I could reinstall
[02:53] <Dr_willis> or you could learn some shell basics...
[02:53] <Saiki> earl1: yes, you could go about things that way, learning things the hard way (hell, that's what I did..)
[02:53] <earl1> I know of a few
[02:54] <echoe__> Rm -rf to remove directories! Maybe all the directories!
[02:54] <earl1> Which is why i chose to work with iptables over a front end
[02:54] <rypervenche> echoe__: Yeah...teach him that. That's good.
[02:54] <echoe__> I never rm rf'd slash. I did move my root into a folder
[02:54] <earl1> srm 4tq
[02:54] <earl1> 4tw*
[02:54] <earl1> ftw*
[02:54] <echoe__> Ryper he can reinstall! Learning!
[02:54] <rypervenche> hahaha
[02:55] <echoe__> ... all I ate today was donuts. I am a little sugarrush-y.
[02:55] <earl1> I have the book, unix power tools
[02:55] <Dr_willis> and aparently it never covered 'touch;
[02:56] <earl1> it's a really thick book that I never entirely covered
[02:56] <rypervenche> earl1: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php
[02:56] <rypervenche> earl1: Download the PDF on that page.
[02:58] <rypervenche> echoe__: I did a chmod on my home directory once, recursively. I didn't realize that I could just put it back to the way it was, I thought it was screwed for good. Reinstalled, lol.
[02:58] <earl1> when installing, what does "Location for the new partition: Beginning or End" mean?
[02:59] <echoe__> Rypervenche, ouch. X.x hehe. Well. But now! Now you know better
[02:59] <rypervenche> echoe__: And now I don't use Ubuntu ^^
[02:59] <TheUsD> is there a GUI way to mount a windows network drive and vise versa?
[02:59] <echoe__> What do you use then?
[02:59] <Dr_willis> visa versa? you mean Unmount it?
[02:59] <earl1> And there was an option for logical & something else
[02:59] <Dr_willis> Nautilus has a feature to access samba shares. there used to be tools like smb4k, and  some other samba browser-guis as well.
[03:00] <dez82> bity: with proprietary driver?
[03:00] <TheUsD> Dr_Willis: vise versa meaning windows machine connect to a network drive on ubuntu
[03:00] <rypervenche> echoe__: Gentoo.
[03:00] <Dr_willis> TheUsD,  you make a samba share.. and browse to it via windows... its a default windows feature
[03:00] <echoe__> Ahh, that works. I need to install that sometime. Am still a bit of a neophyte
[03:01] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: havent attempted to do so yet, was jsut seeing before I go through the trouble of it. (two day old ubuntu user here)
[03:01] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: thank you for the advice
[03:02] <Dr_willis> TheUsD,  easier to use ssh and winscp if you just need to transfer a few files
[03:02] <earl1> I'm rebooting her
[03:02] <harshadura_> lol
[03:03] <echoe__> Reboot, it fixes permissions issues! Every time!
[03:03] <lqid> Can someone help me out sitting my default Telnet handler from Chromium? No idea how to do it. :(
[03:03] <earl1> I'm attempting to switch my mother from windows to ubuntu
[03:03] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: No, I will be maping my windows FTP server to the drives for extra storage.   kinda like a nas
[03:03] <bodom> I have a problem with dhcp server: it says "Can't create new lease file: Permission denied" every time it tries to rotate the lease file
[03:03] <harshadura_> heh
[03:04] <earl1> Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration….
[03:04] <earl1> r'oh
[03:04] <Dr_willis> TheUsD,  running a ftp server on windows? eww.   there are ways to mount a ftp server to a local directory via the 'fuse' tools or again.. Nautilus can browe them
[03:04] <earl1> something went wrong
[03:04] <bity> dez82, whatever the generic drives are
[03:05] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: the ubuntu server is just going to be a mail server and extra storage.   and not eww, Wing FTP is a great program, controls all users, files, quotas, time access, expiration and ect. allows SSH, SSL, HTTP HTTPS FTP FTPS and more.
[03:05] <TheUsD> very strong tool, very secure. Surprising for windows
[03:05] <etfb> I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, and none of the instructions I've found are up to date. Can someone tell me how to cuse Remote Desktop to connect from one computer to another within my home network?  The computer I want to talk to is my headless webserver.
[03:06] <Corey> etfb: If it's both headless, and a server, why not just use ssh?
[03:07] <earl1> Welp. My iptables didn't save. Even after saving iptables using "sudo -i"
[03:07] <Dr_willis> TheUsD,  so you are not using ftp then? but ssh/scp/sftp i hope.
[03:07] <earl1> woa is me
[03:07] <earl1> whoa*
[03:07] <Corey> etfb: iptables-save > iptables.rules
[03:07] <rypervenche> earl1: Woe is you.
[03:07] <Corey> Er, earl1 ^
[03:07] <earl1> Corey, i tries that
[03:08] <earl1> This...sucks...
[03:08] <Corey> earl1: Sudo with a redirect doesn't do what you think it'll do.
[03:08] <earl1> It worked before…I don't get it
[03:08] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: if the user wants to use FTP they can, but yes, all types are supported. Its however they are most comfirtable with.
[03:08] <Dr_willis> what iptables rules are you even needing to do
[03:08] <Corey> earl1: What was your exact command?
[03:08] <etfb> Corey: because I want to set up some stuff that can only be configured with a GUI.  The server has a full installation of Ubuntu, it just doesn
[03:08] <Dr_willis>  sudo command > foo    definatly is NOT correct.
[03:08] <etfb> 't have a monitor attached.
[03:09] <Corey> Dr_willis: It could be. :-)
[03:09] <Corey> Dr_willis: sudo iptables-save > ~/iptables.rules would work, for instance.
[03:09] <earl1> sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules/
[03:09] <Corey> earl1: Yes, that will fail.
[03:09]  * rypervenche headdesks.
[03:09] <Dr_willis> big fail.. as we said earlier
[03:09] <earl1> sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
[03:09] <earl1> *
[03:09] <Corey> earl1: In addition to not redirecting to an actual file, you won't have write permissions in /etc/
[03:10] <Dr_willis> echo "foo" | sudo tee /root/somefile
[03:10] <Dr_willis> is the 'correct' way
[03:10] <Corey> earl1: Yeah, that won't work. sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.rules will.
[03:10] <Dr_willis> yeppers..
[03:10] <echoe__> Oy.
[03:10] <Corey> Or cheat.
[03:10] <Dr_willis> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[03:10] <Corey> sudo bash; iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
[03:10] <Corey> I tend to not play the sudo game when I need to mess with redircts.
[03:11] <rypervenche> Or do what we told him to do earlier. sudo -i, then run the command without any sudo.
[03:12] <earl1> rebooting
[03:13] <echoe_> I tend to not play the sudo game when ... ever. >.>
[03:13] <apb1963> I'm trying to use the "screen" utility to run a script.  The script is supposed to spawn some children to listen on a port.  The script works fine if I execute it from the command line.  But, when I execute it by using "screen", it exits immediately without comment.  Any ideas?
[03:15] <earl1> Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration….
[03:15] <earl1> hmmm
[03:16] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: is there anything I need to do in ubuntu to give my windows machine access? I see it in the networking field of win but no drives and etc are pulled from it
[03:16] <Dr_willis> !samba
[03:16] <echoe_> apb how are you calling the screen utility?
[03:16] <etfb> !vnc
[03:16] <Dr_willis> install samba, set up some samba shares  TheUsD , theres no default firewall rules to block  samba, or ssh, or ftp
[03:17] <etfb> ^^ That's old and out of date. Also riddled with errors.
[03:17] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: samba was installed when installing server, but I do not know how to access samba and etc.. again I'm a two day old user on ubuntu
[03:17] <earl1> It didn't save my iptables
[03:17] <earl1> at all
[03:18] <TheUsD> I did gksudo samba, it asked for a password but after that it did nothing.
[03:18] <Dr_willis> see the samba wiki guide mentioned above. theres also the 'samba-doc' package that has several books (in html format) on using samba
[03:18] <Dr_willis> you DONT do 'gksudo samba' that dosent make sence
[03:18] <apb1963> echoe_ I've tried a variety of ways... but the way I started with is: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl
[03:18] <Dr_willis> samba is a service that runs at boot time. and shares whatever shares you have made.
[03:18] <Dr_willis> right click on a folder in a users home.. select share.. make a guest share.. is one way to make a share
[03:19] <TheUsD> ohh, haha, thought samba was a program ;-p
[03:19] <Dr_willis> samba is a service
[03:19] <TheUsD> thanks for the insight
[03:19] <echoe_> what does it do? anything that may inadventently calse screen to close?
[03:19] <Dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[03:19] <pryzrak> TheUsD: install WinMin on Ubuntu to use as a webGUI. It has samba admin page. It's useful for first time *nix users.
[03:19] <meLon> If I use scp with something like the following: scp remote1:blah.txt remote2:, it tries to connect to remote2 via remote1.  Is it possible to scp locally temporarily/transparently and then push to remote2?
[03:19] <Dr_willis> 'web gui front ends' are best used with extreme caution
[03:20] <apb1963> echoe_: I don't know what might cause the screen to close???
[03:20] <TheUsD> pryzrak: thanks
[03:20] <Corey> meLon: Uh... what? :-)
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> pryzrak: usefull tool! never heard of it
[03:20] <Corey> meLon: Oh, I see what you're saying.
[03:20] <Dr_willis> best to learn how samba works.. and what its configs do.
[03:20] <echoe_> exit, ctrl+a+d ... screens are oddly kinda fragile sometimes too. they must be treated like companion cubes
[03:20] <earl1> I used this before and it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7rpCha1lTY . I had to add "iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT" to it.
[03:20] <lotuspsychje> !info winmin > lotuspsychje
[03:21] <Corey> meLon: Copy it down to you, then a second scp to the remote.
[03:21] <apb1963> not sure what a companion cube is but...  there is in fact an "exit" in the script.
[03:21] <pryzrak> Dr Willis: I agree. It is best to learn. However Webmin is good to learn with.
[03:21] <meLon> Yeah, trying to avoid that.  I was hoping scp would have that built in or something Corey
[03:21] <earl1> 64 bit also
[03:22] <Dr_willis> pryzrak,  WEBMIN is definatly worth avoiding in UBUNTU
[03:22] <Dr_willis> !webmin
[03:22] <apb1963> but it spawns kids so.... not sure why that would kill the kids
[03:22] <Corey> meLon: Oh, it does.
[03:22] <lotuspsychje> right no wonder never heard of it lol
[03:22] <Corey> meLon: -3 is the option you want.
[03:22] <apb1963> I'll watch the vid
[03:22] <Dr_willis> lotuspsychje,  he spelt it wrong the first time. ;)
[03:22] <pryzrak> Dr Willis: I wouldn't use it either. I like no front ends. Less to worry about.
[03:22] <lotuspsychje> webmin is very vunreable
[03:22] <TheUsD> I did a raid1 earlier on two 2tb hdds and for some reason it partitioned only 800+gigs as the raid on both drives, any reason why?
[03:23] <Corey> meLon: Strange option name, but there's no fixing that I 'spose.
[03:23] <TheUsD> could it be the chunk size I set? I set 64 as chunk size
[03:23] <meLon> Thanks Corey.  Exactly what I was looking for
[03:23] <Corey> meLon: No worries. man scp is enlightening reading.
[03:23] <meLon> Yeah, as soon as you said -3 I looked at the man and there it was.  Normally I don't have such luck in man pages :\
[03:24] <rypervenche> earl1: This tutorial teaches how to log into the root user...that's why you were not having any problems running the commands before.
[03:24] <lotuspsychje> is there a tweak for windows to have min/maximize buttons always ontop (instead of unity panel way)?
[03:24] <Corey> meLon: Yeah, my current list of "what to read on my next plane ride" is dig, mtr, and rsync.
[03:24] <rypervenche> earl1: Just type "sudo -i" before running any of those commands and you won't have any problems.
[03:25] <echoe_> rsync is still so confusing.
[03:25] <BillJobs> Is anyone here really familiar with resolution changing? I need help.
[03:25] <echoe_> sometimes being thrown into the deep end ruins comprehension x.x
[03:25] <earl1> But, ryper. I did...
[03:25] <lotuspsychje> !xrandr | BillJobs
[03:25] <apb1963> ok i'm not sure the vid was meant for me>?  lol
[03:25] <earl1> I tried what u guys told me to do
[03:26] <rypervenche> earl1: You were not root apparently.
[03:26] <blackdog> g'day all - not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes. I have a service running under upstart. I need to change some settings in /etc/security/limits.conf for a particular user. They work fine if i log in with a login shell, but it seems that upstart just runs setuid. Is there an approved way of getting PAM to run those for services?
[03:26] <earl1> after doing sudo -i, i reconfig'd
[03:26] <earl1> saved too
[03:26] <meLon> Can anybody check out the PS1 part of my .bashrc and help me figure out why root bash has problems when multiline or when I press up to scroll through bash history?  The shell doesn't 'clear' as it is supposed to and there are artifacts and such http://pastie.org/private/aknstbtyeocw7dey1fh1pa
[03:27] <FrozenFire> So... just FYI, if you're using deja-dup for your regular backup system, I'd seriously recommend checking your backups.
[03:27] <rypervenche> earl1: Possibly a typo somewhere. Using the tab key to auto-complete your filenames is always a good thing to do.
[03:27] <Corey> meLon: That's part of the reason I switched to zsh.
[03:27] <FrozenFire> I just went to do a restore on a fresh install of my system, and my backups are screwed
[03:27] <Corey> FrozenFire: Define screwed.
[03:27] <FrozenFire> They tend to either hang on a gpg error, or they take an infinite amount of time to actually restore. I've not yet been able to recover my data.
[03:27] <BillJobs> Is it possible to add a new resolution? Windows 8 somehow deleted the native resolution of my monitor and now, since I did a clean install of Ubuntu hoping it would fix the issue, it's still present.
[03:27] <meLon> I've only known MAC users to switch to zsh.  As a debian/Ubuntu/linux user, you're finding it to work well, Corey ?
[03:28] <FrozenFire> I'm going to try manually accessing the data using duplicity
[03:28] <FrozenFire> But I'm not confident
[03:28] <Corey> meLon: My laptop is a Mac. My servers are a pile of different Linux distros. It works well for me.
[03:28] <Corey> meLon: I sync it all with vcsh + git.
[03:28] <FrozenFire> Fortunately I made a separate pre-wipe backup of my dotfiles
[03:28] <donnelly> Hi guys, I need to set ubuntu as a wireless server with access for a number of networked computers.  Anyone know the easiest way to do this?  newbe to the linux network
[03:28] <echoe_> can never have enough backups.
[03:28] <Corey> FrozenFire: Yeah, this is why testing restores is key.
[03:28] <FrozenFire> But I'm still losing a whole ton of important data if I can't get this recovered
[03:29] <earl1> ouch
[03:29] <Corey> Not that that helps you at this point.
[03:29] <Corey> donnelly: "Wireless server?"
[03:29] <donnelly> yep
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> FrozenFire: you can use photorec, inside testdisk, the best recovery software ever
[03:29] <donnelly> any ideas
[03:29] <FrozenFire> lotuspsychje, Not an option
[03:29] <mtreece> meLon: I think I know the problem you're talking about, I suffer the same whenver I've got a color shell prompt.
[03:29] <FrozenFire> Given that I encrypt all filesystems
[03:29] <rypervenche> FrozenFire: What did you use to encrypt it?
[03:29] <FrozenFire> I'll just have to try to pull the data out of my duplicity backups
[03:30] <pryzrak> donnelly: are you refering to Access Point?
[03:30] <BillJobs> I've messed around with xrandr but when it comes to the xorg.conf based configuration part, I'm totally lost. I'm starting to learn so I have no clue what I'm doing in there.
[03:30] <FrozenFire> rypervenche, Doesn't *really* matter. The filesystem is already overwritten
[03:30] <rypervenche> FrozenFire: It DOES matter if you want your data back.
[03:30] <lotuspsychje> BillJobs: ask in channel howto add a res in xrandr
[03:31] <FrozenFire> Nope. There's zero chance of recovery at this point, for the on-disk info. Recovering from the duplicity backups is still a possibility, since it's most likely just a software failure in deja-dup
[03:31] <donnelly> I have files - mostly docs and media that I need to share.
[03:31] <donnelly> wireless - yeas
[03:31] <FrozenFire> I do actually get a fair number of recovered files out
[03:31] <FrozenFire> It just hangs each time I try to restore
[03:31] <lotuspsychje> FrozenFire: any deja-dup errors?
[03:31] <rypervenche> FrozenFire: Well I feel you won't get much help from people here if you're not willing to help us help you.
[03:32] <BillJobs> How to add a res in xrandr?
[03:32] <deezed> Hey guys! I`m having a problem with my kxstudio here, when I try to upgrade or install nvidia-current I always get this message: errors were encountered while processing: nvidia-current
[03:32] <deezed> do u know what can I do
[03:32] <deezed> ?
[03:32] <FrozenFire> rypervenche, To be honest, I'm not really looking for help. I'm just giving an FYI that people should check their deja-dup backups immediately
[03:32] <FrozenFire> Since mine just failed fairly catastrophically.
[03:32] <FrozenFire> I know what my options are in this case. ;)
[03:33] <FrozenFire> Also, when referring to deja-dup, it should be clarified that I'm talking about the "Backup" utility in Ubuntu
[03:33] <rypervenche> FrozenFire: Apparently not. It is still possible to restore data from an encrypted partition, but it depends on the encryption and partition type that was used.
[03:33] <pryzrak> donnelly: do you have server or desktop?
[03:33] <FrozenFire> rypervenche, It's not possible to recover overwritten data, though. ;)
[03:33] <FrozenFire> It's fairly certain that the keys are overwritten at this point.
[03:33] <lotuspsychje> FrozenFire: photorec can recover data from for away times...
[03:33] <rypervenche> FrozenFire: Nope, but I would think you wouldn't lose all of your data.
[03:34] <BillJobs> I think I'm just going to re-install windows 8 and try to fix the resolution issue there. This feels a bit way too advanced for a newb to figure out.
[03:34] <FrozenFire> I can say with certainty that it's not possible to recover from my old encrypted filesystem
[03:34] <donnelly> I have a desktop that I have tried to set as a server - wireless.  Internet access can be had through the wirless modem, file sharing is what I want to do.
[03:34] <FrozenFire> It's already been overwritten quite completely.
[03:34] <apb1963> echoe_: I commented out the exit in the script... made no difference.
[03:34] <lotuspsychje> BillJobs: keep asking in channel once in a while..its worth a wait
[03:35] <rypervenche> FrozenFire: Your loss then. We were willing to help.
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> BillJobs: did you clean install ubuntu?
[03:35] <FrozenFire> No need to be passive aggressive.
[03:35] <echoe_> mmmf.
[03:35] <FrozenFire> I didn't ask for help.
[03:35] <donnelly> I know how to do this in windows (not 7 or 8) but want to do this in linux
[03:35] <FrozenFire> And I'm qualified to figure the recovery out myself. :P
[03:35] <donnelly> pryzrak - thanks
[03:35] <surfdaemon> !offtopic > FrozenFire
[03:36] <BillJobs> I believe so
[03:36] <FrozenFire> surfdaemon, It's not offtopic :)
[03:36] <FrozenFire> Anyways, whatever.
[03:36] <surfdaemon> FrozenFire: this is a support channel.
[03:36] <FrozenFire> Yup
[03:36] <BillJobs> definitely didn't dual boot
[03:36] <FrozenFire> "Deja-dup is broken" is me supporting the greater community by making that clear.
[03:36] <pryzrak> you can share folders by using samba or smb from desktop. However make sure you have your firewall on ur ubuntu box configured correctly.
[03:36] <deezed> Anybody could help me with nvidia problems
[03:36] <apb1963> echoe_: Is there anyway to make screen more verbose as to what it's doing perhaps?
[03:36] <deezed> ?
[03:37] <echoe_> isn't there a -v
[03:37] <echoe_> ?
[03:37] <BillJobs> -v
[03:37] <lotuspsychje> BillJobs: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
[03:37] <echoe_> you can always manually open it with screen -S name, then run it in screen manually and see if it works fine
[03:38] <echoe_> ooh
[03:38] <echoe_> apb1963, http://askubuntu.com/questions/62562/run-a-program-with-gnu-screen-and-immediately-detach-after
[03:38] <TheUsD> Dr_willis: you said I could just right-click and share folder, what about an entire HDD?
[03:38] <donnelly> deezed, Nvidia is always a problem.  Keep it simple
[03:38] <echoe_> I think you're looking for screen -S [name] -d -m ./[name]
[03:39] <apb1963> -v gives version.  I open using "screen", and run it.. works fine. Doesn't exit.
[03:39] <puff> Dr_willis: Hm, what do you think about the advice here, comment #11:  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/size-in-superblock-is-different-from-the-physical-size-of-the-partition-298175/
[03:39] <meLon> No, what you really want is -dURS    `screen -dURS SCREENNAME`
[03:39] <apb1963> [20:18] <apb1963> echoe_ I've tried a variety of ways... but the way I started with is: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl
[03:39] <donnelly> any ideas -
[03:40] <meLon> That will resume, detach resume, or create your screen :D
[03:40] <deezed> donnelly: I know, I just need to set mine. `Cause I always get the message errors were encountered while processing nvidia-current
[03:40] <puff> Dr_willis: Basically suggesting:  resize2fs /dev/whatever thesizethatsuperblockthinksitis
[03:40] <Dr_willis> puff,  that sounds like what gparted does  as its a frontend to the backend cli tools.
[03:41] <puff> Dr_willis: Not sure how to ask gparted to do that... I tried right-click Check, nothing happened.
[03:41] <Dr_willis> puff,  when you resize a partion thats what it does.. you DO have the partions Unmounted?
[03:41] <Dr_willis> resize it and shrink it down a little bit
[03:41] <puff> I guess Partition/Resize?
[03:42] <puff> Yeah, the partition is unmounted.
[03:42] <puff> Okay, so resize it even smaller?
[03:42] <Dr_willis> or bigger.. see if it gets the correct #
[03:42] <apb1963> meLon: that's confusing... are you saying to execute as-is and then execute my script inside the screen that's created?
[03:42] <donnelly> It's been a while, but I tried to "upgrade" and all I managed to do was make the graphics worse.  I run an older p4 with nvidia and use the default ubuntu settings.  Upgrading is not use - if you (?) have an older card.
[03:43] <echoe_> i thought it maybe was the order of the flags for some reason. /watches.
[03:43] <deezed> donnelly: uhm, maybe can be that. In this case, do u know how can I downgrade?
[03:44] <meLon> `screen -dURS ttytter -c /home/meLon/.screenrc.ttytter` apb1963   .screenrc.ttytter: http://pastie.org/private/qsutncjzivvpweqkuyg9tw
[03:45] <meLon> apb1963: TBH I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish and only saw half of your messages.  This will create or restore your screen, whichever it needs to do.
[03:45] <puff> Dr_willis: Hm, it said an error occurred, see the details. The details said "calibrate /dev/sda7" and "check file system on /dev/sda7 for errors and (if possible) fix them>'
[03:46] <Dr_willis> puff,  'fsck' the filesystem . may be all it needs
[03:46] <puff> Which is pretty much the same thing as I got when I did right-click check, apply operations.
[03:46] <Dr_willis> gparted might be able do do that.. or 'sudo fsck /dev/sda7'
[03:46] <donnelly> deezed:  I did it through synaptic, but you may have to go to the Nvidia website or a secondary source.  Like I said it's been a while -- there are a lot of sources for help, but you have to know what model card your working with.  I assume you know this.
[03:46] <puff> Okay, I'll try that.
[03:46] <apb1963> meLon: I'm trying to use the "screen" utility to run a script.  The script is supposed to spawn some children to listen on a port.  The script works fine if I execute it from the command line.  But, when I execute it by using "screen", it exits immediately without comment.
[03:47] <puff> Okay, the first thing that fsck does is give me the superblock/physical size mis-match warning and prompt me to abort.
[03:47] <puff> I assume "no"?
[03:47] <apb1963> meLon:  I've tried a variety of ways... but the way I started with is: /usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl
[03:47] <Dr_willis> you got imporntant stuff backed up i hope?
[03:47] <meLon> apb1963: So I'd use the command I've suggested and customize the screenrc file to launch your program
[03:47] <puff> Dr_willis: Yeah.
[03:48] <Dr_willis> go for it then. ;)
[03:48] <puff> Well okay then...
[03:48] <Dr_willis> or just delete the partions, remake, restore from bvackups..
[03:48] <echoe_> I think it might display the output in the screen session.
[03:48] <puff> Hm, it ran, did some stuff, no obvious results.
[03:48] <apb1963> meLon: TBH I don't understand what you've got going on there in your example.
[03:49] <meLon> You'll see at the bottom of the pastie to which I linked the part you'll want to modify (screen -t...).  Anything above that are just personal options I prefer, so you can delete them.  Let me know if you get it running using a screenrc file
[03:49] <meLon> So, at the bottom you'll want to do:  screen -t "Title of screen" 0 /path/to/ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl
[03:49] <apb1963> echoe_: I'm not sure to what your comment refers?
[03:50] <puff> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705641/
[03:50] <deezed> donnelly: no, maybe I dont know which one is better for me. I`m using an Ubuntu 12.04 and a Nvidia 304.88. But I dont know which version I should have take. Do u know how can I check it
[03:50] <Debomb72> hello i'm trying to install Ubuntu onto the /dev/sda5 nstf, and when i click install now, it shows a window that says: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu"
[03:50] <deezed> ?
[03:50] <echoe_> apb1963, I made a dumb testscript and am running it in my virtualbox instance and i think the screen command runs it in the screen instance which it then closes.
[03:51] <deezed> Debomb72: When u try to install it, just choose the mount point.
[03:51] <loganlee_> Debomb72: u mean ntfs?
[03:51] <donnelly> Deezed:  checking something ....
[03:51] <konectd> tet
[03:51] <konectd> *test
[03:51] <deezed> donnelly:  ok
[03:51] <rmobenchain> hello everyone.  have a question concerning fsck
[03:51] <meLon> rmobenchain: Just ask and we'll see what we can do
[03:51] <echoe_> eg if I run my testscript that does echo testscript, it shows it to me, and if I run it with the screen command, it shows nothing, but if I touch testfile it touches the testfile.
[03:52] <Debomb72> loganlee_: yes i meant to say ntfs, sorry about the typo
[03:52] <apb1963> echoe_ Yes perhaps, but the -d command detaches it... and so in the case of a port listener, it continues to run and you should be able to reattach with -r
[03:52] <echoe_> have you looked for the open screens?
[03:52] <apb1963> yes
[03:52] <apb1963> they're not there
[03:52] <echoe_> or they just don't ... weeeeird
[03:52] <apb1963> yeah
[03:52] <apb1963> welcome to my world :)
[03:52] <rmobenchain> meleon:  ran the following command in terminal, "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdf1" and at the end of the message got this back, " Not automatically fixing this. /dev/sdf1: 261 files, 208358/471902 clusters"  What does this mean?
[03:52] <echoe_> yeah it's something in the script exiting it somehow, my test stuff is still open
[03:53] <deezed> Debomb72: u got it?
[03:53] <meLon> -dURS are the flags you want if you want it to:  Detach the screen if it's attached, Resume the screen if it exists, or create the screen if it does not exist
[03:54] <donnelly> Deezed:  you probably have this - but - have you looked at this?  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.88-driver.html
[03:54] <konectd> Does anyone know how htaccess and htpasswd files are encrypted?
[03:55] <loganlee_> they are not encrypted i think
[03:55] <puff> loganlee_: Yeah, htpasswd files contain an encrypted password.
[03:55] <loganlee_> ook
[03:56] <apb1963> meLon: Those flags do indeed create a new screen... and that's all it does.  No output from the script.  The second time I run it, it terminates immediately.  screen -list shows nothing.
[03:56] <deezed> donnelly: yes, probably! But what do u mean looked at this?
[03:56] <meLon> Can you show me the entire line you're entering, apb1963 ?
[03:56] <donnelly> The link - http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.88-driver.html
[03:56] <konectd> loganlee_: I setup auth sec on phpmyadmin (.htpasswd) and when I open it it's encrypted. Im just curious how this is done. I'm on my local machine and would like to play around with it.
[03:56] <loganlee_> konectd: oic i dunno ;)
[03:56] <apb1963> meLon: but wait.... I have children on my ports
[03:57] <puff> loganlee_: mcrypt will encrypt a password properly for .htpasswd.
[03:57] <donnelly> deeezed:  this gives you a run file for the driver
[03:57] <loganlee_> oic
[03:57] <apb1963> meLon: /usr/bin/screen -dURS ASTfastlog ./FastAGI_log.pl --debug
[03:57] <deezed> donnelly: yes but the problem is, I can not run my ubuntu distro here
[03:57] <betrayd> deezed see if it fits your card, i think if its legacy 304 is a good bet imho
[03:57] <deezed> donnelly:
[03:57] <konectd> loganlee_: puff: I've been looking through apache doc's but not much on sec..
[03:57] <deezed> donnelly: Im doing a chroot from a live cd
[03:58] <meLon> Apache uses MD5 or SHA1 for passwords
[03:58] <konectd> meLon: I'll look into that, thanks!
[03:58] <apb1963> -U   Run  screen in UTF-8 mode.
[03:59] <puff> konectd: http://www.mindbend.org/techblog/htaccess/Guide-to-understanding-and-using-htaccess-effectively
[03:59] <donnelly> deezed: A, a fresh installation - Ubuntu 12.04 -
[03:59] <meLon> screen -dURS ASTfastlog bash -c 'perl /full/path/to/FastAGI_log.pl'
[03:59] <deezed> donnelly: haha Yes I`m really considering this
[03:59] <konectd> puff: Awesome! Thanks for the link!!
[03:59] <puff> Anybody know how to fix a bad partition resizing where the physical size ends up being not the same as the superblock?
[04:00] <donnelly> Deezed:  don't suppose you looked at a Ubuntu variant - OZ?
[04:00] <konectd> puff:
[04:00] <konectd> Ext 4?
[04:00] <deezed> donnelly: actually im using a variant already, for recording, called kxstudio
[04:00] <apb1963> meLon: did you notice when I mentioned that I now have children listening on my ports?
[04:01] <rmobenchain> I think I may have missed a post concerning my issue
[04:01] <puff> konectd: Yes.
[04:01] <meLon> I'm waiting around as you've said you've got something going on, yes apb1963
[04:02] <apb1963> so the -dR combo is what seemed to work... but I'm trying to make sense of it.... I have other scripts that work with -dm
[04:02] <puff> konectd: paste.ubuntu.com/5705366/
[04:02] <apb1963> and to be honest, this used to work until I started messing with the script
[04:02] <apb1963> I think there must be something in the script like echoe_ was saying
[04:02] <donnelly> Deezed:  Gotta look at that one - I use OZ b/c it has all the "bells and whistles" and comes ready to burn, share and do what I want for data, audio and video.  The version on this computer is 10.04 and the version on my usual laptop is 12.04.
[04:03] <apb1963> but it just doesn't make sense
[04:04] <apb1963> however... what echoe_ said earlier gives me an idea....  I'll open a screen, and then debug the script... and see at exactly what point it exits
[04:04] <apb1963> back in a few
[04:04] <pala> hi, i'm trying to get an ipw2200 driver to work with an wep network... i keep getting "Firmware error detected. Restarting"
[04:04] <deezed> donnelly: Uhmmm, it sounds interesting! I`m gonna check it out!
[04:04] <deezed> donnelly: thanks!
[04:04] <apb1963> but just to make sure it gets said... thank you both!
[04:04] <rmobenchain> ran the following command in terminal, "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdf1" and at the end of the message got this back, " Not automatically fixing this. /dev/sdf1: 261 files, 208358/471902 clusters"  What does this mean?
[04:05] <donnelly> Deezed:  But back to your install, your going to have to take the plunge and try one of the options.  If it does not work - try a new install and choose a different option  If you have info on your computer, and dont want to loose it, then don;t format the drive and simply do a system overright.

[04:05] <konectd> puff: parted  magic.. ?
[04:06] <deezed> donnelly: uhm, so if I dont format it, couldnt I have the same errors?
[04:06] <meLon> Parted Magic is a live distribution of linux you can install with the *latest* version of unetbootin onto a thumb drive.  It is great for fixing HDD issues konectd
[04:06] <bradley> hello, i was wondering if it was possible to cluster multiple AMD 8350's and if so how would one do this?
[04:06] <meLon> You *must* get the latest version of unetbootin in order for it to work with parted magic
[04:07] <meLon> bradley: Like a Beowulf Cluster?
[04:07] <bradley> cpu cluster
[04:07] <meLon> Yeah, you probably want to look into Beowulf Clustering
[04:07] <bradley> ok
[04:08] <meLon> At least that will give you something to start your journey.  I hear newer kernels are supposed to start supporting CPU load balancing over LAN, but I haven't seen anything come out just yet
[04:08] <puff> konectd: Thanks.
[04:08] <bradley> this looks insane, im gonna try and build a 32 core overkill machine(s)
[04:09] <puff> konectd: Reading that now.
[04:09] <apb1963> ok that was a pointless exercise...  the parent exits.... just like it's supposed to.
[04:09] <donnelly> Deezed:  If your drive is error free, no.  As for the system overright, no.  I have done this a number of times.  Just be careful to install, but not format.  You will have to chose the drive format, so choose the for mat you had before.
[04:09] <meLon> bradley: You may be intersted in this: http://hackaday.com/2013/05/21/33-node-beowulf-cluster-built-with-raspberry-pi/

[04:09] <Wiky> a big problem, libreoffice4 crashes when i click the menubar everytime
[04:10] <bradley> now the connecting cable, crossover cable or ethernet if i wanted to directly connect two computers
[04:10] <deezed> donnelly: ok!  I`ll try it
[04:10] <bradley> ?
[04:10] <donnelly> deezed:   https://www.ultimateeditionoz.com/download
[04:11] <|Anthony|> i'm having issues getting putty to connect to openssh. I've created the rsa key pair server side, given the private key to the putty client and converted it to openssh format, but the connection still fails
[04:11] <|Anthony|> any thoughts
[04:11] <donnelly> deezed:  If your doing it now, write back what you see if you have questions
[04:11] <meLon> What are you asking, bradley?  If you connect two machines with ethernet without a switch, you need crossover.  If you use a switch, you do not need crossover.  Some new NICs will auto-crossover for you
[04:11] <bradley> ok
[04:11] <secret_ninja> im using xubuntu, 13.04. installed fine. installed enlightenment and lost wireless networking
[04:12] <deezed> donnelly: ok! but I think I`ll not do it now. It will take some time, and I need to sleep.. lol
[04:12] <meLon> secret_ninja: I've always prefered wicd to manage my wireless
[04:12] <secret_ninja> any ideas???
[04:12] <secret_ninja> when i do ifconfig wlan0 it doesn't even see wlan0.
[04:12] <bradley> wait i thought there was a physical cross over cable
[04:12] <donnelly> deezed:  yeah, I should hit the sak too - late here in FL
[04:12] <secret_ninja> donnelly, where is fl?
[04:13] <donnelly> Deezed:  good luck
[04:13] <secret_ninja> where IN fl?
[04:13] <deezed> donnelly: hehe Thanks a lot man!
[04:13] <puff> konectd: Hm, okay, that's informative, but my problem is because I resized the partition, so I can't simply restore from a backup superblock.
[04:13] <rmobenchain> grr
[04:13] <donnelly> FL - Bradenton, Florida
[04:13] <meLon> secret_ninja: Not all wireless nic's will show up as wlan0.  Do you see your nic when you do `sudo ifconfig -a`
[04:13] <donnelly> Bye
[04:14] <konectd> puff: Hmm, how about recovering data on the partition that wrote over, then just re-install? Is that an option?
[04:14] <secret_ninja> melon: no.
[04:14] <meLon> bradley: Yes, you can build a crossover cable.  It's just two pins different than a normal cable if I'm not mistaken
[04:14] <meLon> secret_ninja: Do you know what kind of wireless card you have?  Is it atheros?
[04:14] <secret_ninja> yes. atheros
[04:14] <puff> konectd: Not really feasible, it's a large partition and I filled up my backup drive, backing up the other partitions.
[04:15] <meLon> secret_ninja: You don't see an ath0?
[04:15] <puff> meLon: Two pin switched, IIRC.
[04:15] <konectd> I sent out a tweet - on repairing ext4 superblocks - it's already got some retweets and favs. If I hear back anything I will let you know.
[04:15] <secret_ninja> melon: it shows as wlan0, but no, i dont see ath0 either..
[04:15] <konectd> puff: Read above post..
[04:16] <rmobenchain> are there any other ubuntu help rooms?
[04:16] <bradley> meLon how?
[04:16] <puff> konectd: You mean this one? http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/
[04:16] <meLon> secret_ninja: `sudo lshw -class network`  Do you see it there?
[04:16] <secret_ninja> melon: *used* to show as wlan0. shows as wlan0 in this installation.
[04:16] <apb1963> rmobenchain: run it without the -y
[04:16] <meLon> bradley: You have crimpers? http://www.archonmagnus.com/mods/crossOverCable/crossOverCableDiagram2.jpg
[04:16] <apb1963> then it will let you decide if you want to repair it or not
[04:17] <secret_ninja> melon: im in a different boot partition right now.. no network when i boot to that one..
[04:17] <rmobenchain> ok.  thank you apb1963
[04:17] <apb1963> rmobenchain: be warned... you may lose files
[04:17] <apb1963> if you say yes to repairing it
[04:17] <bradley> :D thanks
[04:17] <konectd> no the tweet one
[04:17] <konectd> urgh!!!
[04:17] <konectd> puff: No, the tweet one..
[04:17] <meLon> secret_ninja: I'm not really sure what your problem is.  All I can suggest is using something like wicd to manage wireless.  It's solved so many problems for me.  `sudo apt-get install wicd wicd-gtk wicd-curses`
[04:18] <puff> konectd: Ah, how would I find that tweet?
[04:18] <rmobenchain> apb1963: at this point in time, I just want to be able to install ubuntu.  am using the LIVE CD and keep getting "input/output error read on /dev/sdaf" messages during install
[04:18] <kenji__> hi
[04:19] <kenji__> how can i install i2p ?
[04:20] <apb1963> rmobenchain: Not sure.  Possibly a hardware problem?  Sorry, it's been too long since i messed with that.
[04:20] <apb1963> you could try googling it
[04:20] <rmobenchain> apb1963:  I'm given a couple of options now.   1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original 3) No action.  Which do I want to do?
[04:21] <apb1963> sorry... no idea
[04:22] <rmobenchain> apb1963: could I somehow create a new parttion which doesn't have bad sectors, and install ubuntu there?
[04:22] <apb1963> anything is possyboo :)
[04:22] <rmobenchain> I'm a newb here and grasping at straws
[04:23] <apb1963> try it... the worst that happens is you have to reinstall it again
[04:23] <konectd> Anyone on twitter?
[04:24] <apb1963> i'm sure that's how most of us learned... trying options and seeing what happens
[04:24] <rmobenchain> apb1963: will try it.  I do think the hard drive failure is possible too.  Am also trying to figure out whether I have an IDE or a SATA drive.  Hav a few friends who say they have both types laying around at home
[04:25] <apb1963> SATA connector is smaller
[04:26] <apb1963> but /dev/sdaf .... that doesn't sound like ide... but then I don't know ubuntu that well... google it!
[04:26] <rmobenchain> LOL.  Ive looked at so many threads on google, I've gone batty
[04:26] <apb1963> welcome to my world

[04:41] <ceekay> @Gnea thank you
[04:45] <puff> konectd: it's actually for ext3.
[04:46] <puff> konectd: I have a new external drive coming in on wednesday and the messed up partition is something I can get along without for a couple of days.  I think I'll wait, dd backup the partition, and then experiment.
[04:49] <konectd> puff: Probably best.. especially if you have a new drive on the way.
[04:49] <konectd> puff: When you got the original log displayed did you have little blocks next to your "234G"?
[04:51] <konectd> puff: Where mine says "614G" I had small blocks in gedit that read out 00 over 1B, next to those numbers. What are the blocks, machine lang?

[05:02] <duderguy> hello
[05:02] <duderguy> got a quick question...new ubuntu user here
[05:03] <jj_> aso
[05:03] <duderguy> admin account has limited operations compared to guest account
[05:04] <duderguy> can't even resize windows, no menu bar..
[05:04] <duderguy> ideas?
[05:04] <nevyn> admin account?
[05:05] <konectd> duderguy: Is this a new instal, if so what kind of machine, dual boot? What ver of WIn?
[05:05] <jj_> bootboot
[05:05] <duderguy> new install, win 8 dual boot..hp 2000 machine...boot with uefi selection of hard disk boot sector
[05:06] <konectd> duderguy: The UEFI is the problem.
[05:07] <konectd> duderguy: Go into BIOS and change the UEFI to compatibility mode then re-install.
[05:07] <SuperLag> ugh
[05:07] <duderguy> -_-
[05:07] <SuperLag> that gives me the creeps
[05:08] <SuperLag> konectd: I'm working on a Dell Latitude D630. Too old for EFI.
[05:08] <konectd> duderguy: If not compatibility then you will have a Legacy option, Legacy is what you want to look for.
[05:08] <SuperLag> konectd: on Wednesday, I get a ThinkPad W530. I'm sure that thing will have EFI. I can't just pull the drive from this laptop and have it work in there, can I?
[05:09] <SuperLag> I dread the thought of having to reinstall and reconfigure everything on here... I have this thing just so.
[05:09] <duderguy> when i first tried installing ubuntu it was via unetbootin flash drive
[05:09] <duderguy> it got as far as installing the OS option on my OS loader
[05:10] <duderguy> (cant remember the name of the OS app)
[05:10] <duderguy> then it wouldnt load
[05:10] <duderguy> so i reinstalled with a livedvd
[05:10] <konectd> duderguy: You will run into conflicts with the Win boot loader if you don't correct this. Also, you will run into problems with the recovery drive because of the dual boot.
[05:11] <duderguy> not sure what i did wrong with the opensuse install...probably assigning boot partitions correctly
[05:11] <konectd> SuperLag: YOu can try pulling the drive.. I would image it then - turn on legacy - then install the image
[05:11] <konectd> SuperLag:
[05:12] <konectd> Are you looking to dual-boot with Win?
[05:12] <SuperLag> me?
[05:12] <SuperLag> no
[05:12] <SuperLag> just Linux
[05:12] <SuperLag> anything else will be run from a VMware Workstation VM
[05:13] <konectd> SuperLag: Then I would image it.
[05:13] <SuperLag> What drive am I imaging? the current Linux drive?
[05:13] <konectd> SuperLag: I think if you swapped drives because of the all the Lenovo stuff.. mainly drivers you may run into more problems then it would be worth,IMO.
[05:13] <SuperLag> like what?
[05:14] <konectd> SuperLag: Yea, the linux machine that you don't want to re-install
[05:14] <konectd> SUperla
[05:14] <SuperLag> the kernel is very modular, right?
[05:14] <SuperLag> so... what issues would I have?
[05:14] <konectd> SuperLag: Then you fresh install with that image.
[05:14] <SuperLag> the only issue I foresee, is maybe the video
[05:14] <konectd> SuperLag: Driver issues with the lenovo hardware.
[05:14] <aden_> Hi guys, just wondering how I can configure my ubuntu vm to automatically append a hostname onto a lookup, for example I want to run "ping server1" and get results for "server1.example.com"
[05:14] <konectd> Probably, wifi, eth0, video..
[05:15] <SuperLag> konectd: Why would there be issues with a *very* modular kernel?
[05:15] <konectd> aden_: That should have been configured automatically when you built the VM.
[05:15] <SuperLag> konectd: the kernel will just load the modules it needs for the devices it finds
[05:15] <konectd> SuperLag: What os are you running?
[05:15] <SuperLag> Xubuntu 13.04
[05:16] <konectd> SuperLag: Then your fine.
[05:16] <aden_> konectd, is there a way to configure this after the fact?
[05:16] <konectd> SuperLag: I thought you had said you were on Fedora.. someone else..
[05:16] <SuperLag> Nope. :)
[05:16] <konectd> aden_: Yea, via Terminal
[05:16] <SuperLag> konectd: I've had enough of RPMs to last me a lifetime. :D
[05:17] <konectd> Google search your OS ver and how to change hostname file via VIM
[05:17] <kaushal> Hi
[05:17] <konectd> aden_: or nano, or gedit, whatev's..
[05:17] <Dr_willis> !hostname
[05:17] <kaushal> is there a way to restart ssh session on gnome-terminal whenever the network gets disconnected?
[05:17] <konectd> aden_: ubottu nailed it.
[05:18] <Dr_willis> kaushal,  learn to use screen when you ssh into a system
[05:18] <kaushal> Dr_willis: I am on my local system
[05:18] <Dr_willis> kaushal,  and if ssh disconnects.. you ssh back in.. and resume the screen session
[05:19] <SuperLag> screen++
[05:19] <kaushal> Dr_willis: yeah i know it
[05:19] <SuperLag> or tmux even
[05:19] <SuperLag> but they're both indispensible!!
[05:19] <kaushal> Dr_willis: but i again have to reconnect using ssh user@IP
[05:19] <aden_> okay, I'm not looking to change the hostname of my ubuntu install though, I just want to set up a domain that will automatically be added to an incomplete hostname.. if that makes sense ^^'
[05:19] <kaushal> any auto ssh method once the network is up
[05:19] <aden_> is that still done via the hostname command?
[05:21] <histo> kaushal: you could use screen
[05:21] <Dr_willis> ;)
[05:21] <Dr_willis> putty ? ;)
[05:21] <histo> kaushal: and there is a persistent connection option
[05:21] <duderguy> my win8 boots normally through my bootloader
[05:22] <duderguy> i have to go to advanced uefi options and select the partition where ubuntu is and it loads
[05:23] <duderguy> but you're saying im running into issues because of this?
[05:23] <konectd> duderguy: yea
[05:24] <konectd> duderguy: You want legacy mode if dual booting with Win8
[05:24] <histo> konectd: he can use efi
[05:24] <histo> duderguy: What version of ubuntu did you install?
[05:25] <duderguy> 13.something
[05:25] <histo> duderguy: 64bit or 32bit?
[05:25] <duderguy> 64
[05:25] <histo> !uefi | duderguy
[05:26] <kaushal> histo: apologies was away
[05:26] <kaushal> screen with persistent connection?
[05:26] <kaushal> histo: let me understand
[05:26] <aden_> konectd: sorry to be a pain, I just wanted to mention that I'm not looking to change the hostname of the vm I'm working on, but just how it does hostname lookups.. have I misunderstood, or is this indeed done via the hostname command?
[05:26] <duderguy> ty for link
[05:26] <kaushal> I install screen on my laptop and then i am on screen ssh username@remoteIP
[05:26] <kaushal> and then the network goes down
[05:27] <kaushal> and then?
[05:27] <histo> kaushal: on the server use screen. So you can reattach after network goes down or from another box
[05:27] <Dr_willis> you will need screen running on the box you are sshed into.
[05:28] <kaushal> ok
[05:28] <konectd> aden_: Are you talking about the nslookup command?
[05:29] <histo> aden_: You would need your own dns or use winbind service
[05:29] <kaushal> so on the laptop I always need to do ssh username@remoteIP?
[05:29] <kaushal> there is no other way?
[05:29] <Dr_willis> its a 2 part setup kaushal ...
[05:29] <Dr_willis> ssh to the server. run screen on the server.. that lets you resume the sesssion IF you get disconected.
[05:29] <kaushal> Dr_willis: yeah i understood on the remote server I am already using screen
[05:29] <betrayd> aden for most commands, if you are unsure, type 'man hostname' in a terminal
[05:30] <konectd> aden_: nslookup will give you everything on your local, even though you're in a vm because it's using the hardwares network adapter.
[05:30] <histo> kaushal: yes you reconnect. You could set something up in your .bashrc to check if you aren't connected to connect but that would be troublesome. There are also keepalive settings on the client and server.  Are you using this for a tunnel or something?
[05:30] <Dr_willis> then you setup whatever client to auto-reconnect (rereun ssh whatever) to get back to the screen session
[05:30] <aden_> konectd: I wanted this to be usable with any command, so I would run "ping server1" and get ping results for "server1.example.com"
[05:31] <aden_> konectd: or "host server1" and have the IP of "server1.example.com" returned
[05:32] <histo> aden_: so add the machiens to your /etc/hosts file is the easiest way
[05:32] <histo> aden_: just create entries ip.address.of.box   hostname
[05:32] <aden_> konectd: so pretty much setting a hostname to append onto incomplete hostname lookups
[05:32] <aden_> aah I see, there's no way to do this on the fly?
[05:33] <histo> aden_: I've told you create your own dns or use winbind
[05:33] <konectd> aden_: resolveip
[05:33] <histo> aden_: depends on yoru network and what type of boxes are there.
[05:33] <konectd> so.. resolveip localhost
[05:34] <konectd> aden_: or resolveip hostname, also you could use dig +short unix.hostname.com
[05:36] <kaushal> histo: its fine
[05:37] <kaushal> then
[05:37] <konectd> aden_: also try "host www.google.com" where google.com is your host.
[05:37] <kaushal> histo: tmux will that solve?
[05:37] <moses_> do you guys know what other is under file permissions?
[05:37] <histo> kaushal: same thing tmux vs screen
[05:37] <histo> moses_: world
[05:38] <moses_> histo: good
[05:38] <kaushal> histo: so actually no escape to type ssh username@remoteserverIP on gnome-terminal?
[05:38] <histo> moses_: anyone that isn't in the user or group
[05:38] <histo> kaushal: you could write a script like "remote" or something that does the command for you then you just type remote
[05:38] <George> Hello guys I need  your help I can't open any application in ubuntu 10.04 I was tryed to upgrade 10.04 to 12.04
[05:39] <kaushal> histo: ok
[05:39] <histo> kaushal: it's your box there unlimitted ways you can configure it.
[05:39] <konectd> George: Have you tried re-installking the upgrade?
[05:39] <kaushal> histo: so any example?
[05:39] <aden_> konectd: I'm trying to set up a domain to automatically be appended to host lookups, so say my domain is google.com, I want to be able to run the command "host rarara" and have the results say "rarara.google.com has address <IP_ADDRESS>"
[05:39] <RA9UEK> Привет!
[05:39] <jony_easyrider> how can I install boinc_7.0.65_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh in Ubuntu 12.04 desktop?
[05:39] <konectd> aden
 yap it can't continue the upgradation
[05:40] <Dr_willis> jony_easyrider,  its a .sh file.. you run it.   'sh whatever.sh'
[05:40] <konectd> aden_: The last command I gave you does exactly that..
[05:40] <Dr_willis> !find boinc
[05:40] <histo> kaushal: create a file called remote1  in it put #!/bin/bash   and your command on the next line like ssh someuser@somehost  save the file and chmod +x remote1  then you can ./remote1  or put remote1 in your path so you can type it from anywhere.
[05:40] <Dr_willis> !info boinc
[05:40] <Dr_willis> jony_easyrider,  best would be to use the  boinc in the repos...
[05:41] <aden_> thanks konectd :)
[05:41] <konectd> George: DO you have a backup of the origil 10.04 that you tried upgrading?
[05:41] <George> no but i have only CD for ubuntu 10.04
[05:41] <jony_easyrider> Dr_willis, in the repo readme tells me that I should use the package on their website
[05:42] <Dr_willis> jony_easyrider,  if you need the latest.. but that wont get any support from this channel
[05:42] <konectd> George: You're probably going to have to do a fresh install. I would fresh install using a flashdrve using Unetbootin, install 13.04 or 12.04 LTS.
[05:42] <konectd> George: You have tried reboting for the hell of it, right?

[06:00] <moses_> chown -c :group file
[06:00] <moses_> will that give full access to the group ?
[06:01] <histo> feria90: use mxtools they have plenty of other tools
[06:01] <histo> moses_: only if the file is set to rwx for the group
[06:02] <moses_> using chmod
[06:02] <moses_> ?
[06:02] <histo> moses_: yes
[06:02] <feria90> okey tanks histo i will try :D
[06:03] <histo> moses_: so chmod g+rwx file && chown :group file  would give the "group" full access to read write and execute
[06:03] <moses_> how would i view the current permissions of files?
[06:03] <histo> moses_: ls -l files
[06:03] <moses_> histo: is that the same as chmod -------rwx
[06:04] <histo> moses_: no that would be chmod o+rwx
[06:04] <histo> moses_: ugo
[06:04] <moses_> oh true group is second
[06:04] <histo> moses_: you can also use octal numbers
[06:05] <moses_> its not working :(
[06:06] <moses_> im doing sudo chmod -rwxrwxrwx file
[06:07] <Erealz> anyone experiencing high pitch audio from youtube? was there a recent audio update to ubuntu?
[06:08] <Erealz> yes no maybe?
[06:08] <histo> moses_: sudo chmod ugo+rwx somefile
[06:08] <Erealz> any game of throne fan here?
[06:11] <raid_> Is RAID setup still supported by Ubuntu? I can't find anything even remotely recent about it (all the guides on Google are coming up for like, 5.10)
[06:11] <Gnea> !raid
[06:12] <moses_> histo: that seems to be the only way to change permissions
[06:12] <moses_> ty it worked
[06:14] <raid_> Gnea: huh, well thats 9.10, but its still noted as being years out of date :/
[06:15] <moses_> question
[06:15] <moses_> how do i make the chmod editing apply to all directories and files inside the directory?
[06:16] <amarcolino> how do I change partial name of a file? For example the files all start with foobar-blahblah but I want them to be foo-blahblah
[06:17] <adeebnqo> moses_ : chmod editing? changing permissions for files and subdirectories?
[06:17] <amarcolino> moses_ using the -R  with the command
[06:17] <lasers> amarcolino: mv foobar-blahblah foo-blahblah
[06:17] <SwedeMike> amarcolino: you generally have to write a oneliner shellscript to do that.
[06:18] <SwedeMike> lasers: that doesn't work with wildcards.
[06:18] <Dr_willis> amarcolino,   tab completion can help get the name in for you to edit.  if you got a lot of files to rename following a pattern. theres other tools
[06:18] <Dr_willis> !info rename-utils
[06:18] <Dr_willis> !find qmv
[06:18] <Dr_willis> !info renameutils
[06:19] <Gnea> raid_: what version are you on?
[06:20] <amarcolino> moses_, just like adeebnqo asked, what do you mean by editing, I hope you mean changing file permission because what i've told you could be bad with other coommands
[06:20] <amarcolino> Dr_willis, lasers, SwedeMike, thanks
[06:22] <histo> moses_: -R will be recursive for all files and directories below
[06:22] <raid_> Gnea: I'm going to reinstall from scratch; gonna go with 12.04
[06:23] <raid_> (the existing install actually is 9.10 >_>)
[06:23] <moses_> its working perfectly
[06:23] <histo> !eol | raid_
[06:23] <Gnea> !lts
[06:23] <ak5> hi, in CLI, where do I see all the services and which start at boot?
[06:24] <moses_> question how come other doesnt get write automatically when i make a new folder what preset is this?
[06:24] <histo> moses_: you could have chmod 777  to get rwxrwxrwx  or use the ugo+rwx   It's up to you. You can man chmod and read about using the numbers instead if you want.
[06:24] <raid_> histo: I know; hence siezing the oppertunity to finally install the latest LTS. Problem is, there is nothing I can find about setting up RAID on versions newer than my existing 9.10, the docs are years out of date
[06:24] <ak5> histo: why do you recommend chmod777
[06:24] <ak5> thats never a real solution
[06:24] <histo> ak5: It's what he asked for.
[06:24] <ak5> :/
[06:25] <Gnea> ak5: actually, 777 is a real solution
[06:25] <ak5> Gnea: to what problem?
[06:25] <Gnea> ak5: let's worry about your problem.
[06:25] <ak5> Gnea: ok :)
[06:25] <raid_> Ahh, chmod 777; AKA "Windoze Mode" :P
[06:26] <ak5> Gnea: any ideas? I am not sure how to actually use upstart, if you can give me the docs, that would be fine too, all I can find on google is blogposts on "why upstart rulez/suckz"
[06:27] <moses_> the man doesnt say anything about numbers :/
[06:27] <Gnea> ak5: well http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ will give you every last little detail
[06:27] <ak5> ty
[06:28] <cristian_c> Hi
[06:28] <cristian_c> There is a mysterious problem with my laptop. I mean, when I run the suspension, after the restore there are problems. The first of which is that the Chromium browser will no longer open (but it also does with Chrome) and if you launch it from the terminal, an error is returned
[06:28] <histo> moses_: this is a good read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[06:28] <cristian_c> Also, when I try to logout or reboot the pc freezes, meaning that when I try to restart, the screen goes black and hangs there indefinitely (in the case of the log, it appears the shell with the messages, but it hangs too) and I have to brutally shut down the pc
[06:29] <cristian_c> I tried several solutions, from uswsusp to tuxonice, to create a special file in /etc/pm/config.d/, but these attempts have not been successful. I also checked the syslog, but also did not provide significant information about the origin of the problem
[06:29] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[06:29] <Dr_willis> other then stop using suspend because its flakey.. ;) i imagine..
[06:29] <histo> moses_: also using the letters a+rwx would be less typing then ugo
[06:29] <histo> moses_: it says in the man page you can use octal
[06:30] <raid_> Any ideas about the current state of RAID support? Or am I just gonna have to wing it tomorrow morning and hope the process hasn't changed in 4-8 years? >_>
[06:30] <histo> raid_: why kind of raid hardware or software based?
[06:30] <raid_> Software
[06:30] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, flakey?
[06:31] <Dr_willis> cristian_c,  dosent seem it works very well
[06:32] <Dr_willis> i imagine some hardware drivers are crashing and causing all the other issues.
[06:32] <Dr_willis> its Possible a newer kernel may fix some things
[06:33] <moses_> when i chmod the directory any new files that are made in the directory still down allow o+w
[06:33] <moses_> i am bad
[06:33] <histo> moses_: umask
[06:33] <moses_> i will man that
[06:33] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, there have been many updates of the kernel in my release in these months
[06:34] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, I'll try to get info about driver problems
[06:34] <cristian_c> :)
[06:35] <histo> moses_: umask gets co9nfusing because it is backwards from chmod
[06:35] <histo> moses_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44534/how-to-set-umask-for-a-specific-folder
[06:36] <histo> moses_: just make sure o-rwx on the directory then no one but your user and group can get in there.
[06:37] <moses_> I am just playing right now
[06:38] <moses_> currently there will be a group that SSH into this comp and uses the code
[06:38] <moses_> i just dont want any problems
[06:38] <Dr_willis> cristian_c,  theres the 3.9 mainstream kernel ppas also.
[06:39] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, I'm using 12.04
[06:39] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, 3.2.0-41-generic
[06:40] <cristian_c> Dr_willis, are there 3.9 kernels for precise?
[06:43] <histo> moses_: just be careful with ssh  if you are opening it up to the public I recommend installing fail2ban and possibly changing the default port.
[06:43] <histo> moses_: you may also want to look into jailing the users
[06:45] <fagner> test

[06:45] <Prufrock> Hello everyone.
[06:48] <Prufrock> I have this weird problem. The system keeps telling that it has encountered an error, ans when I open synaptic, it crashes and shows me this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5705924/
[06:48] <Prufrock> How do I go about solving this?  Then?
[07:29] <Dr_willis> !pgp
[07:29] <Dr_willis> !keys
[07:29] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. thts some repo key factoid..
[07:29] <Dr_willis> or askubuntu.com answers it in detail
[07:33] <greenmang0> hi friends, what's the right way to calculate total number of files descriptors opened by a process?
[07:34] <greenmang0> people use "ls -1 /proc/PID/fd | wc -l" but there are dead symlinks in /prod/PID/fd directory
[07:36] <bhavesh> When I launch my fullscreen game in wine in ubuntu 13.04, the first time when it opens the unity top bar and unity sidebar are still there. But when I close it and open it again they disappear and I enjoy complete fullscreen
[07:37] <bhavesh> also my resolution changes from default 1366x768 to 800x600 while launching the game
[07:37] <bhavesh> when I quit it, its still on 800x600 and maybe thats why when I relaunch it the top bar and sidebar disappear. How am I supposed to fix this?
[07:37] <bazhang> !appdb | bhavesh
[07:37] <bhavesh> okay
[07:37] <Dr_willis> ive seen people setup scripts that call xrandr after the game exits to reset back to what is needed
[07:38] <bazhang> bhavesh, /join #winehq
[07:38] <bhavesh> Dr_willis : I did that, my problem is with sidebar and top bar not disappearing
[07:38] <bhavesh> when the game starts the first time
[07:39] <Dr_willis> seen mention of that issue on askubuntu.com  and  i think when watching movies   similer issue on omgubuntu and webupd8
[07:39] <bhavesh> okay
[07:39] <A1Recon1> Say I want to ssh tunnel to my computer at home... will i need to change any settings on my router at home??
[07:40] <Dr_willis> you need to enable port forwarding from the router to the proper pc
[07:40] <Dr_willis> and you may want to change the default ssh port to be used also. or forward from somthing other then the ssh port to the pc.
[07:40] <wildwind> A1Recon1: you need to forward ssh port (22) to your machine
[07:41] <A1Recon1> wildwind: OK
[07:41] <Dr_willis> ive seen where people ssh into the router (frm outside) on port 3322 for example.. then the router forwards 3322 to 22 on the iternal pc.
[07:41] <Dr_willis> you could set up othe rules to let you get to other pcs on the lan
[07:43] <wildwind> A1Recon1: and remember the risks of hacking, if your password is weak for ex.
[07:43] <Dr_willis> key based login is a good idea..
[07:43] <Dr_willis> and  the various fail2ban or other auto-blocker tools are handy
[07:44] <foofoobar> Hi. On my macbook I resized my SSD and created a 20GB partition for ubuntu. I now noticed that I want more space for the ubuntu parition.
[07:45] <foofoobar> Under OSX I can resize my main partition (OSX) without any problems, but I cant increase the size of the ubuntu parition, because I cant move the "start" of the partition
[07:45] <foofoobar> What can I do now?
[07:45] <Dr_willis> use gparted from a live cd
[07:45] <Dr_willis> use os-x to shrink the one.. boot live cd.. use gparted to enlarge other..
[07:49] <siriusnova> I <3 ubuntu its so nice :D
[07:50] <raid_> Anyone happen to by off chance know US retailors that might stock 4TB drives? :/
[07:51] <foofoobar> Dr_willis: so it's not a problem to move the "beginning" of a partition?
[08:03] <shape> Hi, im trying to set GRUB tty resolution after Nvidia drivers and they say "Note that you can only use modes which your graphics card supports via VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE), so for example native LCD panel resolutions may not be available. " I treid GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080,1024x768,auto didnt work
[08:07] <Dr_willis> nvidia drivers wouldent affect the GRUB res/display.. since grub is befor they load
[08:07] <Dr_willis> but differnt cards/monitor combox can handle different res's
[08:08] <shape> Dr_willis: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Fixing_Terminal_Resolution
[08:08] <shape> "Transitioning from nouveau may cause your startup terminal to display at a lower resolution."
[08:09] <administrator_> anyone runing  Antenna DTV   http://antenna-dtv.sourceforge.net/developers.html in ubuntu 12.04 i can run it but click on the channels and noting happens.
[08:10] <auronandace> shape: grub is before the graphics driver is loaded hence why it mentions vesa bios extensions (it really depends on your card)
[08:10] <auronandace> and bios
[08:11] <shape> auronandace: yep, i found the fix btw, need to add vga=ask and see what it supports
[08:14] <vitimiti> hi o/
[08:15] <jatt> hi, I have the following process running:
[08:15] <jatt> lp        1474  2.2  0.0   7288  1352 ?        S    10:05   0:10 --macaddr 00-1E-8F-E9-34-95 --user michael --job inbound Emacs buffer --model 362
[08:15] <jatt> it is running something with --user michael
[08:15] <jatt> but I don't have user michael anywhere on my machine
[08:15] <jatt> what could it be?
[08:15] <jatt> maybe...
[08:15] <jatt> ...an attack?
[08:16] <wildwind> jatt: what command's output is this?
[08:21] <jatt> I did
[08:21] <jatt> ps aux | grep michael
[08:21] <jatt> after booting my machine
[08:22] <auronandace> jatt: how did you know to look for michael?
[08:23] <wildwind> jatt: lp is spooler usually
[08:24] <renaissance> hello there
[08:25] <jatt> auronandace: because I noticed it before when running ps | aux without grepping anything
[08:25] <wildwind> jatt: getent passwd michael
[08:27] <jatt> wildwind: I ran getent passwd michael and got no output
[08:27] <auronandace> jatt: are you running a printer on that machine?
[08:28] <jatt> I have a wireless printer at home yes I use with this machine
[08:29] <auronandace> jatt: is it set to be shared with others? can other computers on the network print from it?
[08:29] <jatt> my machine has only one user (me) and I'm the only one using it
[08:31] <wildwind> jatt: is that jour MAC address?
[08:33] <energizer> What do I need in order to set up a remote desktop server?
[08:33] <Dr_willis> is this on a school lan? or home network?
[08:33] <foofoobar> Dr_willis: so it's not a problem to move the "beginning" of a partition?
[08:33] <Dr_willis> energizer,  install vnc, or freenx would be the basics of it.
[08:34] <wildwind> jatt: sudo netstat -4Wpnl |sort -k 7
[08:34] <Dr_willis> foofoobar,  cant say ive ever had any issues with it.
[08:34] <wildwind> jatt: sudo netstat -6Wpnl |sort -k 7
[08:34] <Dr_willis> foofoobar,  i tend to keep my disk layouts very simple.
[08:35] <energizer> Dr_willis thank you!
[08:35] <jatt> wildwind: how do I tell my MAC address?
[08:36] <Lunito> Good morning, I'm having some problems with my 13.04 desktop install, i just get the vertical stripes desktop background after login and nothing else happens.I see a ton of pulseaudio and xfwm4 processes. shouldn't there be only one? and I see rtkit-daemon policykit complaining about "call failed. did not receive a reply"
[08:36] <Lunito> any ideas?
[08:36] <foofoobar> Dr_willis: okay thanks
[08:36] <jatt> is a home network
[08:36] <Lunito> the vertical stripes disappeared after a few minutes but that could be because I killed some processes
[08:37] <Lunito> i got the normal plain desktop background after that but no sign of the xfce stuff
[08:37] <wildwind> jatt: ifconfig eth0
[08:37] <Lunito> no panel, no window manager, nada
[08:38] <jatt> ifconfig says:
[08:38] <jatt> I'm running no command when I boot my machine and I
[08:38] <jatt> and the suspicious command says:
[08:38] <jatt> --macaddr 00-1E-8F-E9-34-95 --user michael --job inbound Emacs buffer
[08:38] <FloodBot1> jatt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:38] <jatt> sorry ifconfig:

[08:40] <Sarcastic> Hi can anyone help me with some technical issues with AMD Drivers?
[08:41] <Sarcastic> i've got a problem with my HD 5450 radeon graphics card
[08:41] <wildwind> !ask | Sarcastic
[08:42] <mymusise> how a ant is intelligence in ant  algorithm
[08:42] <Sarcastic> I'm trying to find how to install it, and the only helpful thing I've found so far is this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx/129200#129200. However if I do that it comes up with an error saying "DKMS part failed" and after reboot I get no unity
[08:42] <Sarcastic> I'm running on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit
[08:43] <mymusise> how a ant is intelligence in ant  algorithm?have someone konw?
[08:45] <Lunito> ok let me rephrase that: what could be the cause of the system starting 10+ pulseaudio deamons and 10+ xfwm4 processes
[08:45] <wildwind> Sarcastic: grep kms /var/log/kern.log
[08:45] <Sarcastic> Is that a terminal command?
[08:45] <wildwind> Sarcastic: yes
[08:46] <Sarcastic> I also heard that I need to install linux-headers-generic?
[08:46] <Sarcastic> Would that help?
[08:46] <wildwind> Sarcastic: don't you have it already?
[08:47] <Sarcastic> No
[08:47] <Sarcastic> I don't think so
[08:47] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:47] <mymusise> some one konw ant algorithm here?
[08:47] <Sarcastic> I'll check if I can install it
[08:47] <cristian_c> How can I switch audio from mono to stereo?
[08:47] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:48] <wildwind> Sarcastic: you should if you update regularly, including kernel
[08:48] <wildwind> mymusise: this is not an algorithmic channel
[08:49] <Sarcastic> wildwind i'm on a fresh reinstall of ubuntu, because I did this method and after reboot my monitor said input not supported: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install
[08:49] <wildwind> jatt: what about netstat?
[08:51] <jatt> wildwind: I don
[08:51] <jatt> 't see anything suspicious in the netstat output there is something special I need to pay attention to?
[08:52] <mymusise> oh,thank you ,could you tell where is the algorithm channel?I can't find it .
[08:53] <wildwind> jatt: pids, commands, unusual ports etc. or just pastebin it
[08:54] <wildwind> mymusise: stackoverflow.com is a good starting point
[08:54] <Sarcastic> Wildwind, does it matter when I install linux-headers-generic during the catalyst installation?
[08:56] <wildwind> Sarcastic: not really
[08:56] <music> hello
[08:56] <cfhowlett> music greetings
[08:57] <wildwind> Sarcastic: graphics drivers often fail on certain kernel versions. you can try earlier or later (beta) versions
[08:57] <mymusise> thanks!
[08:57] <yellabs-r2> my resolution ( first boot ) is off,  gdm ? how can i put it right ? the desktop has the correct resolution ..
[08:57] <Sarcastic> What do you suggest I do then?
[08:58] <Sarcastic> I've just done the grep kms /var/log/kern.log command and now installing linux-headers-generic
[08:59] <wildwind> Sarcastic: google ati <chip> fglrx <error>, read, try
[09:00] <wildwind> Sarcastic: has grep shown anything?
[09:00] <Sarcastic>  imklog 5.8.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
[09:01] <wildwind> Sarcastic: not relevant
[09:01] <Sarcastic> What do you mean, sorry?
[09:02] <yellabs-r2> is the ubuntu login screen called gdm ?
[09:03] <wildwind> Sarcastic: i suggest to search internet for similar problem reports and try solutions other people confirm to help.
[09:04] <Sarcastic> Yeah
[09:04] <Sarcastic> It seems that the HD 5450 is either quite rare in the Ubuntu community or mine is faulty with Ubuntu
[09:04] <Sarcastic> I'll reboot to see what happens
[09:05] <stat_vi> yellabs-r2: no, it's the display manager and yes, it serves the login screen
[09:05] <creativeoS> Hi everyone. I need evolution to mirror my number of gmail accounts. This morning I tried sending an email and marked one for deletion. When I checked gmail in Firefox browser it didn't mirror these actions. (No sent mail and nothing in trash) Any help appreciated.
[09:06] <yellabs-r2> or is it lightdm ?
[09:07] <stat_vi> depends on what you've installed or what distro you use. Ubuntu uses lightdm sinde 11.10 (i think)
[09:07] <stat_vi> s/sinde/since/
[09:10] <Sarcastic> Wildwind it restarted with no unity
[09:10] <music> how is every one
[09:11] <wildwind> Sarcastic: Sarcastic: check this for ex. http://askubuntu.com/questions/164495/graphics-drivers-for-ati-radeon-5450
[09:11] <Aethysius> I hate Unity.

[09:12] <Yaakovi> When is the Ubuntu Phone OS supposed to come out? This month?
[09:12] <Sarcastic> wild do i type that into the xorg file
[09:12] <DarsVaeda> hi I installed ubuntu 13.04 few days ago, now suddenly the system is very slow and I get this error when doing sudo "sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?"
[09:12] <DarsVaeda> I wonder what went wrong and if I can fix it or need to reinstall?
[09:13] <captianyipe> Yaakovi, Ubuntu Phone OS is still in active development. The goal is to get a daily usable version out by the end of the month. This does not mean its anywhere ready for general release
[09:13] <Yaakovi> Hopefully it is finally here
[09:14] <malembe> Hello can you help me
[09:14] <cfhowlett> Yaakovi, have reasonable expectations for v. 1.0
[09:14] <cfhowlett> malembe, greetings
[09:14] <Yaakovi> I do.
[09:14] <Yaakovi> I don't expect anything to work.
[09:14] <Yaakovi> But I would like to at least boot an emulator up.
[09:14] <Myrtti> !touch
[09:16] <ils> yo
[09:16] <DarsVaeda> the system is slow because cupsd runs 99% of cpu
[09:16] <DarsVaeda> what is that process doing?
[09:16] <ils> kastoi
[09:16] <gravin> ils, nachave d'ici
[09:17] <ils> tagueul
[09:17] <cfhowlett> !english
[09:19] <captianyipe> DarsVaeda, cupsd schedules print jobs for a later time. Are you trying to print something?
[09:19] <DarsVaeda> nope
[09:19] <DarsVaeda> I guess it is related to the permission issue
[09:20] <DarsVaeda> as far as I get something must have changed permissions of /usr
[09:21] <coolot> hello guys! newbie here.... need some help
[09:21] <cfhowlett> !details|Coolot
[09:23] <coolot> i am trying to find all of my ACDC mp3 files using the command line but i am getting all of my mp3 files. i am running ubuntu 12.04
[09:24] <coolot> i am just using find command
[09:25] <coolot> i am practicing how to use the terminal instead of using the gui
[09:26] <captianyipe> coolot, a good habit to get into is to use the man command. To see how to use find, type man find
[09:26] <cfhowlett> coolot, unless the song title contains ACDC, you'd need to search the metadata ...
[09:27] <cha0z1> hi is there a way to have a systray icon for skype in 13.04?
[09:28] <captianyipe> cha0z1, yes. Its there by default. Are you using unity?
[09:28] <cha0z1> ca;
[09:28] <cha0z1> l
[09:28] <coolot> thanks.... will try to understand it using man
[09:28] <SarcasticGoats> Guys I'm having more difficulties with my HD 5450 Graphics card
[09:28] <cha0z1> captianyipe, yes i have ubuntu 13.04 (upgraded from 12.10) with unity. before the upgrade in 12.10 the icon was there!! i have reinstalled skype but no luck
[09:30] <SarcasticGoats> I've tried to install the ATI drivers with this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx. I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu and now there is no Unity
[09:30] <cha0z1> captianyipe, i have 64bit version. What version do you have
[09:30] <captianyipe> cha0z1, did you completely reinstall skype by typing "sudo apt-get purge skype" into terminal? it will remove all of skypes settings and reset
[09:31] <captianyipe> cha0z1, I use the 32 bit version. It shouldnt matter as the skype package is mulitarch
[09:31] <cha0z1> captianyipe, yes apt-get remove --purge skype and reinstall from website
[09:31] <cha0z1> captianyipe, because i can't install skype from apt-get install skype (package not found)
[09:31] <cfhowlett> !repos|cha0z1,
[09:31] <captianyipe> cha0z1, thats correct. Skype is not in the ubuntu repos
[09:32] <cha0z1> http://www.unity.li/2013/04/microsoft-ask-ubuntu-to-remove-skype-icon-from-system/
[09:32] <cha0z1> maybe this ^^^^ captianyipe ubottu
[09:32] <cha0z1> I want to find a hack to fix that :P
[09:32] <cfhowlett> cha0z1, enable ubuntu partner repos.   it's there.
[09:33] <cha0z1> cfhowlett, doing it now :)
[09:34] <ezra-s> another offtopic about skype in case anyone wants to know -> skype backdoor confirmation -> http://lists.randombit.net/pipermail/cryptography/2013-May/004224.html
[09:36] <fat> i want to create a mail server in ubuntu, but i dont want to manually create all the email accounts. i want my users to create their own emails, is this possible?
[09:36] <Corey> fat: Let me borrow a factoid from another channel.
[09:36] <Corey> fat: why" : are you sure that installing, configuring and maintaining a mailserver is really what you want to do  here? it's not something that's for the faint of heart, and definitely not something for folks that are still just  learning the basics of linux or unix.
[09:37] <fat> im a php developer
[09:37] <Corey> fat: That sounds remarkably unlike "mail administrator."
[09:37] <ezra-s> fat, ask a linux admin to do it for you
[09:37] <fat> im good with linux i think
[09:38] <sharkwoof1996> i cant update from 12.04lts to 13.04 useing the update manger
[09:38] <hurdvm> sharkwoof1996: you are meant to go from 12.04 to 12.10 then to 13.04
[09:39] <sharkwoof1996>   hurdvm no 12.04 to 13.04
[09:39] <gads> any network speed applet for ubuntu?
[09:39] <ezra-s> fat, I don't remember much but I think most MTA's relay on real accounts on a machine to deliver mail, if what you want is out of the same box accounts you will need some real admin of the mta
[09:40] <hurdvm> sharkwoof1996: a direct upgrade like that isn't supported
[09:40] <hurdvm> sharkwoof1996: you have to go through 12.10 first
[09:40] <Corey> fat: You either need to define real user accounts, or establish virtual users if you don't want to use system users.
[09:40] <sharkwoof1996> hurdvm, well it says in update manger
[09:41] <gads> any network speed applet for ubuntu ? why is it so hard to find one?
[09:41] <cfhowlett> gads, speedtest.net
[09:42] <captianyipe> gads, try conky: http://conky.sourceforge.net/
[09:42] <ezra-s> gads, gkrellm also have network monitors
[09:42] <cfhowlett> sharkwoof1996, it's suggesting you update to the latest version .... if you want to keep 12.04 (and I would advise you to as it's LTS) set your update settings to LTS only
[09:43] <ezra-s> there are quite a few, it doesn't take much looking for I believe
[09:43] <sharkwoof1996> cfhowlett, thanks but i want to upgrade
[09:43] <cfhowlett> sharkwoof1996, download the iso, make a boot usb/cdrom, boot that in install
[09:44] <cfhowlett> sharkwoof1996, torrent download is preferrable over direct download ...
[09:44] <gads> captainyipe , actually i want network in and out indicator on top bar
[09:44] <larsemil> for some reason my install put sv_US.ISO-8859-1 as locale. i dont find the file where this is set.???
[09:45] <gads> network data flow indicator on top bar
[09:45] <captianyipe> gads, like in old-school GNOME2 where you could add the system resource monitor as a applet?
[09:45] <larsemil> i want to change it
[09:45] <sharkwoof1996> cfhowlett, hurdvm thaaanks guys for your help
[09:45] <gads> yes
[09:45] <cfhowlett> sharkwoof1996, best of luck
[09:45] <sharkwoof1996> cfhowlett, thanks
[09:46] <ezra-s> gads, here, a conky setup I took, you can remove the things you don't want easily -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5706277/
[09:46] <hurdvm> gads: i wouldn't know how to do that in unity but i know you can in xfce
[09:46] <gads> i found one the called indicator-sysmonitor but it only show cpu and mem
[09:46] <gads> i dont know the code for network
[09:47] <captianyipe> gads try indicator-multiload
[09:47] <gads> the mulitload showing graph instead of number
[09:47] <gads> i mean numeric value
[09:48] <ezra-s> gads, I pasted you a conky config which does all you need
[09:48] <gads> ezra-s how to use that?
[09:49] <ezra-s> gads, sudo apt-get install conky-all
[09:49] <ezra-s> put that into a .conkyrc file in your home folder
[09:49] <ezra-s> launch conky
[09:50] <m11> hi i am trying ubuntu (rather linux for the first time ), i did installled ubuntu 12.04 version , after that i did sudo apt-get update   and
[09:50] <m11> sudo apt-get install vlc
[09:50] <m11>  but when i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:50] <m11> it is showing me error  Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock,
[09:50] <m11> but ps command shows only 2 processes running  ie, ps and bash
[09:50] <FloodBot1> m11: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:50] <ezra-s> once you are satisfied you can add conky to your start up applications like this: sleep 20 && conky -d -c ~/.conkyrc
[09:50] <m11> okiee sorry for that :P
[09:50] <cfhowlett> m11, you have an incomplete process somehwere that has locked your dpkg ...
[09:50] <hurdvm> m11: you have more than one package manager running at the same time?
[09:50] <gads> ezra-s does that put an indicator on top bar?
[09:51] <m11> no only processe running are ps and bash
[09:51] <ezra-s> m11, try "ps aux | grep -i dpkg"
[09:51] <cfhowlett> m11, probably your update manager is set to automatic.
[09:51] <ezra-s> gads, a top horizontal bar bellow the top bar of ubuntu, in the url in that file you can see an image
[09:52] <m11>  cfhowlett  it is showing rrr       2708  2.0  0.1   4368   844 pts/0    S+   02:51   0:00 grep --color=auto -i dpkg
[09:52] <hurdvm> m11: so thats just your grep
[09:53] <m11> so should i kill that process
[09:53] <m11> or what shold i do to unlock dpkg taht is giving the error
[09:53] <m11> should ^
[09:53] <captianyipe> m11, its already dead. That process is you looking for anything to do with dpkg
[09:53] <hurdvm> m11: no, that is the command you just issued (your grep to see what was running)
[09:54] <m11> i did gave the command sudo apt-get again and this time it worked :D
[09:54] <gads> ok thanks by
[09:54] <hurdvm> m11: can you please pastebin the output of ps aux
[09:54] <m11> thankyou
[09:54] <hurdvm> m11: goody
[09:54] <floogy> maybe there's a stale lockfile under /var/run
[09:54] <m11> yes sure i will keep that in mind hurdvm  :)
[09:55]  * ezra-s sighs
[09:55] <m11> floogy:  whats that mean
[09:55] <m11> and how to detect / remove it if it gives problem next time
[09:55] <floogy> If dpkg dies unexpectly, there are maybe some stale lockfiles leftover
[09:56] <floogy> But it works again, I notice
[09:56] <hurdvm> m11: it was probably unfortunate timing on your part (an update might have been happening when you tried to install something)
[09:56] <m11> got it floogy ,
[09:57] <m11> yes hurdvm  but now its giving me another error
[09:57] <m11> or may be conformation message
[09:57] <m11> pasting it to pastee
[09:58] <doomlord> can anyone recomend a cpu temp monitoring method for ubuntu
[09:58] <m11> http://pastie.org/7967593
[09:58] <doomlord> i'm going to mess with psy/grpahiics card and want to check everything is ok afterward..
[09:58] <m11> do not know how to do ok to it :|
[09:59] <mrlo> mais par les fenetres, il n'entre pas encore qd mm?
[09:59] <hurdvm> !fr | mrlo
[10:00] <hurdvm> m11: have you used a pastebin before?
[10:00] <mrlo> Sorry, wrong channel :p
[10:00] <m11> i used pastie here hurdvm
[10:00] <hurdvm> m11: the site says nothing is there
[10:00] <boob00> hi
[10:01] <m11> okay putting it on pastebin now
[10:01] <boob00> i have ruined disk on key, and there are files i need on it, as first i dd the disk to a data block on linux, now, is there any good utility to "browse" that block of data file?
[10:01] <_mote_> how to remove recent chat history in skype 4.2 ubuntu 13.04?
[10:02] <_mote_> or even recent chat
[10:02] <cfhowlett> boob00, I would image it with dd and work the image.  preserve the source media just in case ...
[10:02] <cfhowlett> _mote_, look in your /home for .skype folders
[10:02] <m11> http://pastebin.com/bgCXu8SA
[10:02] <cfhowlett> _mote_, the location should be stated in skype settings
[10:03] <m11> here is it , how to do ok on this
[10:03] <_mote_> im looking at it.
[10:03] <hurdvm> m11: use tab to select ok and press enter
[10:03] <cfhowlett> _mote_, also I think you can delete directly within skype
[10:03] <hurdvm> m11: thats just an eula for microsofts fonts
[10:03] <m11> that was easy :P  thanks hurdvm
[10:03] <_mote_> im not used to using skype. i will try to look over this one. thanks for the info. :)
[10:06] <boob00> cfhowlett: i have now output of 4GB file.img, the question is how i deal with it...
[10:07] <cfhowlett> boob00, I'm afraid data recovery is over my head ... ask in the channel
[10:07] <boob00> cfhowlett: ok thanks :)
[10:11] <shomon> hi, how can I install java 7 on ubuntu?
[10:12] <hurdvm> !java | shomon
[10:12] <shomon> thanks hurdvm
[10:16] <SarcasticGoats> Hey everyone, I tried installing AMD Drivers for my Radeon 5450, but now when I turn the computer on my acer monitor shows "Input Not Supported". Running Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit
[10:17] <jony_easyrider> I need a free font which has symbols
[10:17] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, input? are you sure it is related? graphic cards are "output" devices, not input ones.
[10:17] <SarcasticGoats> It worked before I installed the fglrx proprietary drivers
[10:17] <SarcasticGoats> I've had to go through the same procedure a lot of times with the same result.
[10:18] <SarcasticGoats> I found this guide to change a line in the GRUB menu but that didn't work
[10:18] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, If I were you I'd check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[10:19] <ezra-s> probably the last one will give you clues about what's failing and why
[10:19] <SarcasticGoats> I can't get into the desktop though
[10:19] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, from the terminal, you can access the terminal, can't you?
[10:19] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, you are in the console now?
[10:19] <SarcasticGoats> No
[10:20] <SarcasticGoats> I'm on my windows partition atm
[10:20] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, CTRL+ALT+F1 even?
[10:20] <floogy> You've load windows?
[10:20] <ezra-s> ohh
[10:20] <SarcasticGoats> I had windows originally, I freed some space for a partition
[10:20] <SarcasticGoats> and successfully installed ubuntu on it
[10:21] <floogy> If you try to load ubuntu, what happens?
[10:21] <SarcasticGoats> however I'm trying to install the AMD Drivers and it never seems to work, it just goes to input not supported - HOWEVER I can hear the logon sound
[10:21] <SarcasticGoats> Floogy, I go to grub, go onto Ubuntu. Purple grub screen for a few seconds and then 'Input Not Supported'
[10:22] <hurdvm> !nomodeset | SarcasticGoats
[10:22] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, Please try ALT+CTRL+F2 like ezra-s suggested
[10:22] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, hearing the logon sound but not seeing anything, sounds like monitor can't display resolution
[10:22] <SarcasticGoats> I was thinking that too ezra
[10:23] <floogy> Ok, I guess that won't switch you into a console logon that the screen will display.
[10:23] <SarcasticGoats> There's a line in GRUB which is like GFXMODE 640X480 and a guide told me to remove the #
[10:23] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, your best bet is checking the log under console
[10:23] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, but thats for console, it has nothing to do with Xorg drivers and you want to go into desktop
[10:23] <SarcasticGoats> Should I try the nomodeset thing then?
[10:24] <ezra-s> unless there is some framebuffer driver that is conflicting with the xorg driver
[10:24] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, try the kernel boot parameter nomodeset on the edited grub kernel line like hurdvm suggested
[10:24] <hurdvm> SarcasticGoats: it is worth a go
[10:24] <SarcasticGoats> OK
[10:24] <SarcasticGoats> Hang on
[10:24] <SarcasticGoats> I'm just going to log onto the irc on my laptop
[10:27] <SarcasticGoats> Going to try to boot into nomodeset
[10:28] <SarcasticGoats> No, Input Not Supported still
[10:28] <SarcasticGoats> does the nomodeset go with a space?
[10:28] <SarcasticGoats> the linux /boot line ended in ff so i typed ff nomodeset. Do I leave out the space?
[10:29] <wildc4rd> what are the nvidia drivers like in ubuntu 64 bit now?
[10:30] <squaregoldfish> wildc4rd: They work well for me. Can't say  more than that!
[10:30] <SarcasticGoats> Left out the space, see if that works
[10:30] <wildc4rd> cool, need to allocate more ram to java as modded minecraft eats it...
[10:31] <SarcasticGoats> Nope, it still says 'Input Not supported'.
[10:31] <SarcasticGoats> Does anyone know what's gone wrong?
[10:33] <SarcasticGoats> ezra-s do you have any idea what I could do?
[10:34] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, can you try to omit the splash quiet in the boot line and try again?
[10:34] <SarcasticGoats> ok
[10:35] <SarcasticGoats> Is that in the GRUB edit thing again?
[10:35] <SarcasticGoats> Found it I'll see if this works
[10:35] <floogy> perhaps also some parts whose defining the resolution.
[10:36] <SarcasticGoats> floogy
[10:36] <SarcasticGoats> It doesnt work
[10:36] <SarcasticGoats> Floogy I'm not sure what to edit exactly
[10:37] <ezra-s> you can see what's behind the scenes in the splash screen once it is booting by hitting Esc I recall
[10:38] <SarcasticGoats> Ezra, when do I press Esc?
[10:38] <beav> please how to join the cameroon team for freenode
[10:39] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it
[10:39] <hurdvm> beav: /join #freenode and ask there
[10:39] <SarcasticGoats> Oh hang on ezra
[10:39] <ezra-s> SarcasticGoats, when you see the ubuntu screen when system is booting
[10:39] <floogy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen bottom
[10:39] <SarcasticGoats> I pressed the Esc screen after selecting ubuntu on grub
[10:40] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, also try to press CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+ALT+F7 and vice versa
[10:42] <SarcasticGoats> floogy the askubuntu thing didnt work
[10:42] <SarcasticGoats> When do I press CTRL+ALT+F1?
[10:42] <SarcasticGoats> after selecting ubuntu ?
[10:43] <Kartagis> why does "sudo vgcreate myvg0 /dev/sdk1" give me "Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sdk1' to volume group 'myvg0'."? is it because it's actually a USB device?
[10:43] <floogy> What did pressing ESC and the console switch while booting? Yes after selecting and pressing ENTER and waiting for a while...
[10:44] <floogy> Or is ther still the odd 'no signal' on screen message of the screen? You should omit quiet splash and fill in nomodeset.
[10:44] <SarcasticGoats> the ESC key
[10:45] <SarcasticGoats> That brought up some lines of code with some sort of AMD error but I couldn't read it as it was too fast
[10:45] <SarcasticGoats> I couldn't get the console up
[10:45] <SarcasticGoats> I'll see if I can read the esc things
[10:46] <floogy> Can you switch back to the white message lines on the black screen?
[10:46] <floogy> You might try to press break
[10:46] <floogy> or Shift+arrow up
[10:47] <SarcasticGoats> it's a few lines and then goes to not supported error
[10:47] <floogy> pressing break again will continue booting
[10:47] <floogy> Can you paste the whole error?
[10:48] <SarcasticGoats> i'll see
[10:48] <SarcasticGoats> [ 10.506297[ sp5100_tco: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use
[10:48] <floogy> You may can try to solve the issue later by booting into the live system of the desktop dvd
[10:49] <SarcasticGoats> microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin
[10:49] <floogy> Does that hang there?
[10:49] <SarcasticGoats> no
[10:49] <SarcasticGoats> that line appears 6 times
[10:49] <SarcasticGoats> it comes on screen for a second or two
[10:49] <floogy> ok, so it might bring up the console logon.
[10:49] <SarcasticGoats> and then goes to input not supported
[10:50] <SarcasticGoats> Hmm searching that error that seems to be the CPU?
[10:50] <SarcasticGoats> It's an AMD FX-6100
[10:51] <floogy> Ah, I see. So you have to put in a boot parameter to omit the amd ati graphics drivers
[10:51] <SarcasticGoats> ... :
[10:51] <SarcasticGoats> :S
[10:53] <floogy> try to add text near nomodeset
[10:53] <starbuck> hi, is there a calendat app which integrates into unity and reminds me of tasks, birthdays etc?
[10:53] <starbuck> calendar
[10:53] <SarcasticGoats> floogy any specific text?
[10:53] <hurdvm> starbuck: click on the date
[10:54] <floogy> literally text
[10:54] <shmoolki> y'a t'il des francais ici?
[10:55] <floogy> to get the text console
[10:55] <starbuck> hurdvm: this doesn't help, i cant add task and get reminded etc...
[10:55] <DJones> !fr | shmoolki
[10:55] <SarcasticGoats> oh xD
[10:55] <SarcasticGoats> after or before or does it mater
[10:56] <SarcasticGoats> And do I keep the quiet splash part?
[10:57] <floogy> SarcasticGoats, No, it doesn't matter https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/NonGraphicalBoot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions?action=show&redirect=BootParameters https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
[10:58] <SarcasticGoats> ok it's "quiet splash text nomodeset"
