[06:32]  * astraljava noticed that on #xubuntu-devel, there was a lot of useful talk regarding lightdm(-greeter) while he was sleeping. Hopefully I get out of work early today, so I can start hacking.
[10:01] <Kokito> howdy
[10:01] <Kokito> how are my US friends doing?
[10:52] <astraljava> You're not interested in your EU friends?  I've had 2½ weeks of sh****ness. I don't need no giggling.
[15:54] <astraljava> And yes, yes I know. This will only result to more laughter.
[16:56] <scott-work> email sent to the mailing list responding to cory's email
[16:56] <scott-work> let the shit storm begin :)
[16:57]  * astraljava starts hoarding the groceries and fresh water
[18:09] <scott-work> lol
[20:05] <ailo> ScottL, Good email
[22:24] <astraljava> ScottL: That was a good email. Thanks for that! I'll respond soon enough, but have my blessings on the target audience (which you were most worried about.)
[22:55] <ScottL> thank you ailo and astraljava  :)
[23:00] <ScottL> ailo, you were partially the inspiration for the second email about someone focusing on the "upgrade" path
[23:01] <ScottL> you had talked about -controls to do this or a single package to install for ubuntu studio
[23:05] <ailo> ScottL, -controls would have ability to tune the system for low latency in system settings, while adding audio packages need to be done through a package manager. Either the regular ones, or a custom one. Upgrading Ubuntu to US from Software Center, in my opinion, should be a meta-package that includes: kernel, -controls, jack, (fonts and what else), and a basic set of apps. The only difference between the software center upg
[23:05] <ailo> rade and a full install from DVD would be dropping XFCE dependencies from the "upgrade"
[23:06] <ailo> And the "upgrade" could be even slimmer yet
[23:06] <ailo> That's my idea of it, anyway
[23:07] <ailo> As always, I'm not taking into account graphics and video
[23:07] <astraljava> -desktop would be the one to draw in the XFCE dependencies anyhoo, so that's easy to circumvent.
[23:11] <ailo> As ScottL mentioned in the email, I'm not going to be as active in development as I would have wanted. Perhaps not at all. All though, I will still pursue the objects I have had all along: kernels testing and developing a -controls application. The -controls application may turn out to be an unbranded app, which I could try to push into Debian repo.
[23:11] <ailo> I don't have a time plan right now, though
[23:12] <ailo> I will want to start with kernel building and testing
[23:12] <ailo> I'll set up a PPA project for that later on
[23:12] <ailo> The goal is to find out if -lowlatency is needed and try to push it into Ubuntu repo
[23:14] <ailo> Just testing the kernel is a challenge for me, so that will take some time to do


[15:51] <philipballew> beuno, I liked your write up about the Ubuntu community, and that you were willing to talk with Jono, Lyz and Ben about some of the issues. Thank you for helping the rest of us out and making Open Source look good.


[15:48] <highvoltage> "epoptes' UI". nice apostrophe use there, stgraber :)
[15:50] <stgraber> highvoltage: not sure if that's common to all the variants of english, but my english teachers were pretty picky about it ;)
[15:51] <highvoltage> stgraber: no I wasn't sarcastic or anything, it's very good English, just uncommon for 2nd or 3rd language English speakers to get right :)

[09:58] <HerbY_NL2> Hello, I have a new installation of ubuntu gnome 16.04. When I press alt left or alt right my session is locked and I find myself on tty1. Google doesn't have the answer. Anyone here?


[18:10] <cppCzar> Correct, however I somehow managed to change the name of my account
[18:10] <cppCzar> while the prompt still uses a different name
[18:11] <ffio_> cppCzar: change the PS1 variable
[18:11] <cppCzar> i.e. My account name is "cppCzar" but on the prompt it shows up as "cppnoob@random:~$"
[18:11] <ffio_> echo $PS1
[18:11] <ffio_> cppCzar:  you can change it by modifying PS1 variable.
[18:11] <cppCzar> \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
[18:11] <cppCzar> That was my echo $PS1
[18:14] <cppCzar> ..
[18:15] <ffio_> cppCzar: you can google customizing bash promts you can get many examples of it

[18:39] <km64> shows in aplay as ALC888 Digital
[18:40] <daftykins> yeah that's a chip name, not a connection type
[18:40] <daftykins> km64: have you run alsamixer in a terminal to check the digital outputs aren't muted?
[18:42] <cppCzar> I can't figure out why my directories have a green color behind their names (when using ls)
[18:43] <km64> showing PCM as 100<>100
[18:43] <outch3> cppCzar : permissions related
[18:43] <Argh> Moin, moin!
[18:43] <Argh> Moin, moin!
[18:43] <daftykins> km64: it won't be PCM
[18:44] <daftykins> cppCzar: permissions and user
[18:44] <cppCzar> outch3: Where can I fix it?
[18:44] <daftykins> there's nothing to fix
[18:44] <daftykins> it's just a fact
[18:44] <cppCzar> How do I change the color?
[18:44] <bitbyte> hey guys on ubuntu server i was moving a folder from one drive to another

[18:46] <RU-XerYuS> Is it ok to restore themes from the /usr/share/themes directory that you have installed (MediterraneanDark for example) and on a fresh install, extract them to the /usr/share/themes directory without downloading & installing. Are there consequences to bypassing installation?
[18:46] <BluesKaj> !fr
[18:46] <km64> nothing is muted but the mics
[18:49] <BluesKaj> désolés should be "desoles" in the fr factoid , can whoever is responsible fix that please

[18:51] <BluesKaj> Pici , cool
[18:52] <km64> in alsamixer the s/pdif shows as 00 green box and no volume bars
[18:55] <daftykins> km64: there may also be IEC958
[18:58] <josephholsten> is there a specific room to discuss upstart issues?
[18:59] <josephholsten> I'm trying to run an upstart service with a setuid from ldap
[18:59] <xXSe7enXx> hey
[18:59] <mayhew> josephholsten: #upstart
[19:00] <xXSe7enXx> is there a way to completely deactivate changes to the filesystem on Ubuntu
[19:00] <xXSe7enXx> ?
[19:00] <km64> daftykins: I see IEC958 in pulseaudio volume control configuration (Builtin audio digital stereo) but alsamixer only shows  S/PDIF, S/PDIF Default PCM, and S/PDIF 16 [Off]
[19:13] <km64> daftykins: further research leads me to think it may be kernel related> I will look into ugrade\downgrade of kernel - ty for your help

[19:17] <Slyboots> Hey
[19:17] <mead0w> hello
[19:17] <Slyboots> Uh.. does anyone know how long Bonee++ shoudl take to run a benchmark on a SATA2 disk?
[19:17] <Slyboots> I tried it and its been running for over an hour now
[19:17] <Slyboots> without any sign of ending
[19:17] <mead0w> How big is the disk?
[19:17] <Slyboots> 2TB
[19:17] <mead0w> What avg. speed are you getting?
[19:18] <Slyboots> I've no idea, it just sits there outputting text once and a while about what its doing
[19:18] <Slyboots> But it ran for, actually close to 2 hours
[19:18] <mead0w> oh, right.
[19:18] <mead0w> Just let it run sir.
[19:18] <Slyboots> I've 9 disks to test lol
[19:18] <Slyboots> I need something faster than 2+ hours per disk
[19:20] <Agamemnus> hello
[19:20] <Agamemnus> I dunno where to ask this
[19:20] <Agamemnus> maybe here
[19:20] <blazemore> Hello Agamemnus, ask it
[19:20] <Agamemnus> I'm using oracle VM, and I managed to modify my disk from 4gb to 6gb fixed
[19:20] <Agamemnus> but it's not reflected in the ubuntu install
[19:20] <Agamemnus> dunno why
[19:20] <Agamemnus> still says 4gb when i start it
[19:20] <blazemore> Agamemnus: The partition holding Ubuntu is still 4gb
[19:21] <Agamemnus> do you know how i can change this?
[19:21] <blazemore> Agamemnus: Boot from the iso again into a live environment. Use the Gparted partitioning tool to expand your Ubuntu partition to fill the available space
[19:22] <Agamemnus> what a mess
[19:22] <blazemore> Not really it's very quick
[19:22] <blazemore> I could have done it by now
[19:22] <Agamemnus> i need to dl gparted
[19:22] <blazemore> No you don't
[19:23] <blazemore> DO you still have your Ubuntu iso you installed from?
[19:23] <Agamemnus> good think i found this
[19:23] <Agamemnus> https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46814
[19:23] <Agamemnus> i'm using Oracle VM
[19:23] <Agamemnus> and ... the iso is of an old version anyway
[19:23] <b3> hi
[19:23] <blazemore> Doesn't matter
[19:23] <b3> did someone know why when i install dedicated driver nvidia, driver didnt recognize my monitor?
[19:23] <blazemore> Agamemnus: The version doesn't matter, they all have gparted on them :)
[19:23] <blazemore> Agamemnus: It's super quick, trust me
[19:24] <Agamemnus> ok i added the cd in
[19:24] <Agamemnus> now what?
[19:25] <blazemore> Well, do you remember when you installed it?
[19:25] <Agamemnus> a year ago
[19:25] <blazemore> Is it an iso you have, or a real CD?
[19:25] <Agamemnus> it's telling me i should try ubuntu or install it now
[19:25] <Agamemnus> i don't think this is right
[19:25] <Agamemnus> iso
[19:26] <cantoma> Agamemnus, sudo apt-get install gparted
[19:26] <blazemore> cantoma: You can't live-expand the partition
[19:26] <Agamemnus> i don't have any memory left
[19:26] <b3> did someone know why when i install dedicated driver nvidia, driver didnt recognize my monitor?
[19:26] <blazemore> !patience > b3
[19:27] <blazemore> OK Agamemnus to make your VM boot from the iso, follow the instructions in the top answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/64915/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-on-a-virtualbox-client-from-an-iso-image
[19:27] <cantoma> blazemore, i guess it needs to be unmouted
[19:27] <blazemore> cantoma: Exactly, hence why we boot from the LiveCD, and why the LiveCD comes with gparted already installed
[19:27] <cantoma> Agamemnus, read a bit about live cds and then gparted
[19:28] <cantoma> blazemore, yes i have done it many times
[19:28] <sinkensabe> Hi, how/where can I permenantly disable the ctrl-s command in terminal?
[19:28] <blazemore> sinkensabe: Look in the settings of the terminal for keyboard shortcuts
[19:29] <cantoma> blazemore, i was just wondering if it allows to modify the partition while mounted .. i guess it is a nice feature to add .. or at least it should do it in reboot mode
[19:29] <sinkensabe> blazemore: I have, but cant find settings for ctrl-s
[19:29] <Agamemnus> anyway, i'm in gparted
[19:29] <blazemore> Agamemnus: OK so do you see your Ubuntu partition?
[19:29] <sinkensabe> is there a .conf file for the terminal ?
[19:29] <blazemore> sinkensabe: What does ctrl-s do?
[19:29] <Agamemnus> unfortunately i can't resize it
[19:30] <Agamemnus> there was sda1 4 gigs
[19:30] <Agamemnus> sda5 1 gig
[19:30] <blazemore> Agamemnus: Why not? Is there any free space to the right?
[19:30] <Agamemnus> unallocated 1 gig
[19:30] <blazemore> Agamemnus: Can you post a screenshot?
[19:30] <Agamemnus> maximum space of sda1 = 4 gigs
[19:30] <cantoma> Agamemnus, use http://imagebin.org/
[19:31] <cantoma> Agamemnus, if you cant do it from the livecd use your smartphone
[19:31] <rsyring> resolve.conf is showing <IP_ADDRESS> as my nameserver, but my DHCP server is sending something else.  Why is resolve.conf not have what the DHCP server is sending?
[19:31] <sinkensabe> blazemore: it stops the terminal basically, ctrl-q will resume the session. The reasoon I need to do it is to map ctrl-s for save in Vim
[19:32] <Agamemnus> http://imagebin.org/267838
[19:32] <blazemore> sinkensabe: Seems like the shell is grabbing that ctrl-s not your terminal emulator. You should be OK to map it for save in vim, have you tried it?
[19:32] <Agamemnus> i deleted sda5
[19:33] <blazemore> lol Agamemnus move that window! it's in the way of what I need to see
[19:33] <sinkensabe> blazemore: yeah I did but did not work, I just assumed that was the problem. I will try to see if it can be somethings else then. cheers
[19:33] <blazemore> sinkensabe: I may be wrong, so don't disregard any others' advice on the assumption that mine is correct
[19:33] <Agamemnus> http://imagebin.org/267839
[19:34] <blazemore> Agamemnus: Delete /dev/sda2 the extended partition
[19:34] <OerHeks> rsyring, do not edit resolve.conf, see this answer and howto on http://askubuntu.com/a/221955
[19:34] <Agamemnus> maybe i need to change the file system
[19:34] <blazemore> Agamemnus: No you need to delete that empty extended partition
[19:34] <blazemore> Agamemnus: Then you can resize it into the space - but you will have no swap so watch out
[19:34] <Agamemnus> insane
[19:35] <Agamemnus> don't need
[19:35] <Agamemnus> thanks
[19:35] <rsyring> OerHeks: well...thats the opposite of what I want.  I actually want resolve.conf to reflect the nameserver DHCP is returning.
[19:35] <pvl1> what ubuntu fits on a cd
[19:35] <blazemore> No problem
[19:35] <sinkensabe> blazemore: Yeah true, I did find out how to disable it temporarily and it did not work anyway so the problem is somewhere else
[19:35] <rsyring> OerHeks: I could override, but why not just take it form DHCP?
[19:35] <cantoma> Agamemnus, only 6GB :o
[19:35] <cantoma> Agamemnus, my smartphone has more than that
[19:35] <OerHeks> rsyring, it will get updated with the correct numbers, when you follow the right steps
[19:36] <blazemore> pvl1: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precice Pangolin) has installation images which fit on a standard CD-R http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[19:36] <Agamemnus> i'm running it on my SSD
[19:36] <rsyring> OerHeks: I don't want to hard-code the DNS server in /etc/network/interfaces...I want DHCP to set it
[19:36] <Agamemnus> which I recently upgraded
[19:36] <Agamemnus> but still
[19:36] <Agamemnus> 256 gigs
[19:36] <rsyring> OerHeks: If I follow the answer you gave, i'm just hardcoding it
[19:36] <Slyboots> so are there any good ubuntu tools for testking diskIO that dont take.. several hours to run ?
[19:36] <cantoma> Agamemnus, have you delete second partition?
[19:37] <Agamemnus> yeah
[19:37] <Left_Turn> hey gparted isn't allowing me to resize my hard drive by adding unallocated memory to it... any way around this
[19:37] <blazemore> Left_Turn: Can you take a screenshot of your gparted?
[19:37] <Agamemnus> we just talked about this!
[19:37] <Agamemnus> hehe
[19:37] <blazemore> Agamemnus: You get that a lot in here
[19:37] <Left_Turn> 1 sec blazemore
[19:38] <Agamemnus> you can only reallocate the second one, see
[19:38] <blazemore> Agamemnus: You get to answer the same question twice in a row, and the second time is always way easier. I call it carrying
[19:38] <Agamemnus> i see
[19:38] <Agamemnus> thanks :-)
[19:38] <Left_Turn> blazemore at this moment it won't be the correct shot as my drive is mounted.. i would have to get offline etc etc.. want me to do that?
[19:39] <blazemore> Left_Turn: It's OK if it's mounted
[19:39] <Left_Turn> oh ok then.. 1 sec
[19:40] <blazemore> Left_Turn: I only need to see it, then I will give you instructions you can reboot and follow
[19:40] <Agamemnus> another thing.. i tried upgrading and i didn't have enough space
[19:40] <Left_Turn> oh ok thanks blazemore .. im starting it up now
[19:40] <Agamemnus> and now my package system is broken.
[19:40] <Agamemnus> it told me to run..
[19:41] <Agamemnus> apt-get install -f
[19:41] <blazemore> Agamemnus: That's OK, you will have enough space now. You should run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -f"
[19:41] <Agamemnus> but i got permission denied
[19:41] <Agamemnus> SUDO
[19:41] <Agamemnus> of course
[19:41] <genii> Agamemnus: Probably want to do instead: sudo apt-get clean   ...before that
[19:41] <Agamemnus> nooooo
[19:41] <Agamemnus> too late
[19:41] <blazemore> It's OK
[19:41] <trism> sinkensabe: did you check out: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_Ctrl-S_to_save_current_or_new_files
[19:41] <blazemore> Nothing bad will happen

[20:04] <tk_> playonlinux, does it work well?
[20:04] <oleg> q
[20:05] <reisio> tk_: sometimes, which game?
[20:05] <DJones> tk_: Wine may help you get it running, but I wouldn't rely too much on it.  If you join ##winehq they're normally best placed to give advice on whether something will run

[20:09] <superboot> Hi all. I've setup my remote system to act as a pulseaudio server (with paprefs). How can I tell the client machine to use it? Looks like padevchooser is not in the repos anymore.
[20:09] <lucian> means just format it means of raw formatting
[20:10] <dzoni> can i repair it ?
[20:10] <Agamemnus> ok, so now I remember why i held off on upgrading

[20:21] <nowayride> Does it use Silverlight's DRS? Ubuntu has mono.
[20:21] <nowayride> Wait.. moonlight
[20:22] <auronandace> isn't moonlight abandoned?
[20:22] <Johnny_Linux> whats making my flash run 90 mph
[20:22] <streulma> yes moonlight didn't works anymore
[20:22] <nowayride> :\ I wish everything would move away from Silverlight and flash
[20:24] <Johnny_Linux> flash runs too fast ubuntu

[20:29] <pvl1> Jordan_U: i have lubuntu installed on a microsd. i was editing the grub options for it to allow me to select recovery (thats another story). after running update-grub2, it only boots into memtest. so im on windows atm (yell at me later), im running an ubuntu VM, in which i have this microsd mounted. if i chroot into it, mounting /dev, /proc, and /sys, will it fix the problem or will it configure grub to the
[20:29] <pvl1> vm
[20:29] <pvl1> sorry
[20:32] <henningvis> After upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04 I have no sound on my Dell 1749 Studio . I dualboot and sound is working fine on windows .. I am not computer likterate but know a little .. who can help me with commands I can just paste in the terminal ?
[20:32] <Jordan_U> pvl1: Running update-grub from a chroot in a VM is fine, but what options did you actually change to get into this situation?
[20:36] <Agamemnus> how do I get a specific mysql client>
[20:37] <Agamemnus> I figure my error is cause my bi file (header) doesn't match
[20:37] <pvl1> Jordan_U: i changed the grub timout
[20:37] <Agamemnus> but that's too incomprehensible to change
[20:37] <Agamemnus> i need eg..
[20:37] <Agamemnus> 4.0.17...
[20:38] <henningvis> Am I in the wrong room?
[20:38] <amcsi> hi
[20:38] <henningvis> hi
[20:38] <amcsi> how do I know if memtest86 has tested my entire ram at least once? what does it write out?
[20:42] <\u03b5> Hello, I am running 12.04 LTS Server in a virtualised environment. Unfortunately I cannot use hwclock -w, so I am stuck with the host machine's time, which is roughly 20 minutes into the future. The issue is, that whenever the system boots, ntpd kicks in to set the clock right, and immediately after that network goes down; is there anything I can do?
[20:43] <bekks> \u03b5: Set the clock of the host correctly.
[20:43] <\u03b5> I still have access to the server though a hypervisor-provided tty-like access
[20:43] <\u03b5> bekks: I do not have that kind of access
[20:43] <bekks> \u03b5: Then you have to ask your administrator to do so.
[20:45] <\u03b5> will this glitch not happen if the time is off by a smaller delta?
[20:45] <pvl1> Jordan_U: is there an option for Default selection to run. i definetly set something to 3 seconds, and memtest would be the third option wouldnt it
[20:46] <bekks> \u03b5: I guess it will happen again then, since it looks like the host shuts off network access due to anomalies (setting the time) in the guest.
[20:47] <\u03b5> you think this is intended?
[20:47] <\u03b5> Xen is the hypervisor, although I do not know how it is configured
[20:50] <Jordan_U> pvl1: GRUB_DEFAULT. Please pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg .
[20:54] <matthias_> hey i've got a question
[20:55] <matthias_> i want to do a bash script with curl, that logins into a website and clicks on a few links and then downloads a file
[20:58] <pvl1> Jordan_U: i changed default to 3 for sure thanks
[20:58] <matthias_> i want to do a bash script with curl, that logins into a website and clicks on a few links and then downloads a file
[20:59] <Dr_Willis> so? ;)
[20:59] <Slart> matthias_: if it's a simple site it shouldn't be a problem.. you might have to deal with cookies, session id's and such depending on how the site is designed
[21:00] <Dr_Willis> it can range from trival to very complex. to impossible. ;)
[21:00] <BillyBag2> hi
[21:00] <matthias_> Slart: i can post you the link of the site and maybe you can help me?
[21:00] <Slart> matthias_: I've done something similar myself but I used python.. bash might present... different challenges
[21:00] <Slart> matthias_: sure
[21:01] <matthias_> Slart: here is the site. it's timetable for my school and i hate it typing everytime the login... https://klio.webuntis.com/WebUntis/?school=graf-stauffenb
[21:02] <matthias_> Slart: i've found out that the password is in j_password and the username is in j_username
[21:02] <BillyBag2> Hi can I get some help on here for connecting to a mac desktop from ubuntu?
[21:02] <Romz> hi there, with ubuntu server 13.04, is there a way to select what packages will be installed (booting up the iso in vmware)?
[21:02] <Slart> matthias_: mm.. I'm looking at the source code at the moment
[21:02] <matthias_> Romz: do expert installation
[21:03] <compdoc> Romz, you can if you install the server version, and then add a desktop if required
[21:03] <matthias_> Slart: i've tested a few examples and nothing worked
[21:03] <makerbrakr> hi, has anyone else been having trouble with chromium/google-chrome not loading pageS?
[21:04] <Romz> matthias_: right on, yesterday i tried with the desktop version but i didn't see any option for expert mode or so, i was wondering if it was the same with the server version or if i completely missed it on the desktop one
[21:04] <makerbrakr> I will nav to a URL, and the page will come up white
[21:04] <BillyBag2> I can connect to the Mac using a few VNC clients. However I see some sort of startup screen which I appear to have no control over.
[21:04] <makerbrakr> if I open up dev tools though, it finishes loading
[21:05] <Slart> matthias_: it's using some kind of ajax form to do the actual login
[21:05] <matthias_> Romz: sry i tought of debian installation sry
[21:05] <matthias_> Slart: so is it possible to login via bash/python script?
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> BillyBag2:  i imagine the vnc desktop would be controlled by the vncserver on the mac end. not the ubuntu client
[21:06] <Slart> matthias_: everything is possible.. it's just a matter of more or less work =)
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> BillyBag2:  you should check the docs/support for whatever vnc server you are using on the mac.
[21:07] <matthias_> Slart: the problem is you can download the timetable as a .isc file and i wrote a programm that automaticly parses the .isc file and makes a nice better .pdf file. the parser works fine but now i want to make the file donwload automaticly
[21:07] <matthias_> Slart: You know what i mean?
[21:08] <BillyBag2> Ta Dr_Willis I'm looking at windows to mac news groups and they see the same issue. I will see what they did to fix it.
[21:08] <djapo> how do if figure out the font map for a font? the font is ter-116n
[21:09] <matthias_> Slart: Can you help me with that script? please??
[21:09] <Slart> matthias_: yes, I understand.. I'm just wondering if it might be worth the trouble to decipher the code from the webpage.. or if it might be easier to just script the browser to do the work
[21:10] <Slart> matthias_: what browser do you use?
[21:10] <matthias_> Slart: later i want to run it on an vServer with no graphical user interface. would the browser scripting be possible?
[21:10] <matthias_> i use firefox, but as said i want to run it on the vserver
[21:11] <matthias_> Slart: use firefox, but as said i want to run it on the vserver
[21:11] <ulrichard> Hi, I did something silly to my server today. Instead of fixing the permission on /etc/  I set it to 744. Now a lot of stuff stopped working. Su and sudo don't work, and logging in as root also doesn't work. So I plugged the harddisk into my desktop computer. I can mount the data partition but not the system partition. Any ideas or advice?
[21:11] <Slart> matthias_: let's see if we can get firefox to do the login thing for us.. you might get away with running firefox in some kind of non-gui way..
[21:12] <matthias_> Slart: ok if it is possible.
[21:13] <Jordan_U> ulrichard: How are you trying to mount the partition and what happens when you try?
[21:13] <Slart> matthias_: do you have some time? this will not be done in a minute or two..
[21:13] <\u03b5> Well scratch that, the network goes down regardless of if ntpd is running or not
[21:13] <matthias_> Slart: yes 30-45min is that enough?
[21:14] <Slart> matthias_: perhaps.. if we're lucky =)
[21:15] <matthias_> Slart: maybe we can switch the channel? #curl_login
[21:16] <ghost_> hi
[21:16] <\u03b5> syslog and dmesg fail to provide any relevant info, anything else to check before escalating?
[21:17] <ulrichard> Jordan_U: parted lists the boot partition as ext2 and the data partition as ext4. Appart from that it lists an extended and a logical partition. I wonder if the ext dir is contained in initrd.img-3.8.0-27-generic of the boot partition, which has a change date of about when I did the modification.
[21:17] <histo> ulrichard: are you using encryption?
[21:18] <histo> ulrichard: and what happens when you try to mount the data partition?
[21:18] <AnalMaster> Histo..let me see ur anus bitch
[21:18] <ulrichard> the boot and data partition mount just fine, but they don't contain what I'm looking for.
[21:19] <AnalMaster> Ulrichard mount using ro option nugger
[21:19] <Jordan_U> ulrichard: You answered neither of my questions.
[21:19] <ulrichard> from looking at the size of the partition, it's probably in sdc5 which is listed as lvm2 pv
[21:19] <AnalMaster> Marcin i faked ur mather
[21:19] <histo> !ops | AnalMaster
[21:19] <AnalMaster> Drr
[21:20] <histo> ulrichard: which distro are you running now on your desktop to try and mount these?
[21:22] <ulrichard> Both are running ubuntu 12.04
[21:22] <ulrichard> Both are running ubuntu 13.04, sorry
[21:23] <histo> ulrichard: lsmod | grep dm-mod
[21:23] <ulrichard> the ext2 and ext4 I can mount with nautilus or the mount command, but if I try to mount sdc5 it asks for a filesystem type.
[21:24] <Jordan_U> ulrichard: That's because it's an LVM physical volume.
[21:24] <ulrichard> dm-mod  is not loaded. What is it?
[21:24] <histo> ulrichard: it's needed for mounting lvm
[21:25] <Romz> regarding my question to do a custom install of ubuntu server 13.04, i found my answer here http://superuser.com/questions/495295/is-there-any-way-to-customize-vmwares-easy-install-of-ubuntu
[21:25] <histo> ulrichard:sudo apt-get install lvm2 && sudo modprobe dm-mod
[21:26] <Jordan_U> ulrichard: sudo pvscan && sudo vgscan && vgchange -a y && sudo blkid
[21:26] <Agamemnus> how do I get a static version of mysql?
[21:26] <Agamemnus> mysql client*
[21:26] <Jordan_U> Agamemnus: Why do you want a static mysql client binary?
[21:27] <Agamemnus> i need compiled code because i can't install programs on my server
[21:28] <anayou> hi
[21:29] <anayou> hello guys
[21:29] <histo> hello
[21:29] <ulrichard> thanks guys, mounted the partition and corrected the permissions. Now I 'll put the harddisk back into the server.
[21:29] <Deformative> Hi, I am running ubuntu 13.04 and recently updated (like 20 minutes ago), but now the machine will no longer boot.  The error is something like "/scripts/init-bottom initramfs contents directory not empty; kernel panic: not syncing"
[21:30] <Deformative> Is anyone else seeing this?
[21:30] <Deformative> Any advice on how to fix it?
[21:31] <wootehfoot> How do I overclock my 60Hz refresh rate to 75Hz?
[21:31] <daftykins> Deformative: hold shift on startup to get the GRUB boot menu, then try picking an older kernel
[21:31] <anayou> can i install softwaer  .exe
[21:31] <genii> anayou: No.
[21:31] <anayou> in ubuntu 13.04
[21:31] <histo> anayou: what are you trying to install?
[21:31] <daftykins> wootehfoot: there is no reason to do be doing that
[21:31] <Deformative> daftykins, The boot menu comes up and doesn't display any old kernels.
[21:31] <anayou> like idm
[21:32] <histo> anayou: what is idm?
[21:32] <daftykins> Deformative: odd, do you manually remove them after upgrades?
[21:32] <wootehfoot> daftykins, i know all the implications of doing it, how do I do it
[21:32] <Deformative> daftykins, No.
[21:32] <anayou> internet download manger
[21:32] <Jordan_U> Deformative: They're in the "Advanced Options" submenu.
[21:32] <histo> anayou: I would go to alaternativeto.net and search for linux alternatives or search the software center.
[21:32] <Deformative> Jordan_U, I went here and there was only one kernel listed twice.  One of the listings said (recovery mode) but it had the same panic.
[21:33] <Agamemnus> i think i need the static version of mysql 4.1.
[21:33] <Agamemnus> but i can't figure out how to install it.
[21:33] <Agamemnus> (client)
[21:33] <anayou> no in softwaer center
[21:33] <wootehfoot> Rephrase: How do I force the display refresh rate to something higher than 60Hz?
[21:33] <Jordan_U> wootehfoot: What is your end goal?
[21:33] <wootehfoot> jordan, it's a uni experiment
[21:34] <histo> wootehfoot: which video card?
[21:34] <wootehfoot> hd4000
[21:34] <wootehfoot> will xset be enough for this, or are there more issues
[21:34] <anayou> bit the wine softwaer is get the  windows xp in ubuntu
[21:34] <histo> wootehfoot: I don't know why you would want to but you could define a new mode with xrandr and break your stuff
[21:34] <genii> anayou: .exe files are Windows executable files. You can't run/install them in linux. Some Windows software works under the program called WINE, but usually badly.
[21:35] <wootehfoot> histo, thanks will try that nopw
[21:35] <histo> anayou: yes but why would you want to use that particular program when there are open source alternatives
[21:35] <ulrichard> sudo and everything else works again on the server. Thanks again.
[21:36] <Deformative> Anyone?  Please... This is a serious problem for me.  It brought down my entire 300 node cluster...
[21:36] <anayou> same softwaer is work in wine !!
[21:36] <Pinkamen1_D> My ubuntu server installation stop booting and just shows the blinking white cursor, I have booted in with the liveDVD, is there a tool I can use to fix this?
[21:37] <daftykins> Pinkamen1_D: wouldn't hurt to fsck the disk
[21:37] <histo> !nomodeset | Pinkamen1_D
[21:37] <arthurdent> \I'm having trouble with dconf, I copied .config/dconf/user from one user to another, but gsettings is still showing different settings, is there some command I need to run?
[21:38] <Pinkamen1_D> I have used nomodeset in the past, but this will not show a menu upon holding shift
[21:38] <histo> arthurdent: .cache/dconf?
[21:39] <daftykins> Pinkamen1_D: fsck? hard disk SMART data?
[21:41] <Pinkamen1_D> fsck shows "0.1% non-contiguous, but other then that it does not show any "errors"
[21:41] <daftykins> Pinkamen1_D: have you chroot'd in and had a poke around?
[21:41] <bekks> Pinkamen1_D: fsck -f forces an fsck, while fsck just examines the superblock.
[21:41] <anayou> guys can i recover my files in sd card after formatting
[21:42] <Deformative> daftykins, Jordan_U, are you still there?
[21:42] <daftykins> yep, still haunting the place
[21:42] <daftykins> Deformative: also, 300 node cluster? you're kidding right?
[21:42] <Deformative> No.
[21:42] <anayou> ?
[21:43] <Jordan_U> Deformative: As a quick test to see if https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/613273 might be related, can your try running this: grep "/sbin/udevadm settle" /path/to/initrd
[21:43] <daftykins> with 13.04? D:
[21:43] <Deformative> Jordan_U, With what?  A livecd? I can't boot.
[21:43] <Deformative> daftykins, Yes.
[21:43] <Jordan_U> Deformative: Yes, from a LiveCD would work.
[21:44] <Left_Turn> anyone know why gparted won't let me resize my drive to merge with an unallocated one?
[21:44] <anayou> guys can i recover my files in sd card after formatting
[21:44] <Deformative> daftykins, I manage a cluster at my university and I put ubuntu on it because I was stupid enough to think it would be relatively stable.
[21:44] <daftykins> anayou: depends if it was a full format or not
[21:44] <Jordan_U> anayou: How did you "format" the card?
[21:44] <Deformative> So now all the users are bitching because the thing is down.
[21:45] <daftykins> Deformative: picking an LTS release would probably have been a good move, but i appreciate hindsight is not helpful now so i shall hush and let Jordan_U help
[21:45] <anayou> i format my sd card with phone
[21:45] <Left_Turn> is there a way to set a shortcut to my paths.. variables don't work
[21:45] <Deformative> daftykins, Isn't 13.04 an LTS?
[21:45] <daftykins> Deformative: no, dead in January
[21:46] <Deformative> daftykins, Fuck.  I thought that all the .04 were LTS.
[21:46] <anayou> full format
[21:46] <daftykins> Deformative: sadly this one broke with that tradition :(
[21:46] <genii> Deformative: Please keep the foul language down, supposed to be a family-friendly channel
[21:47] <Pinkamen1_D> I think I can see the problem with fdisk, though I have no idea how it could have happened
[21:47] <genii> Deformative: Every second .04 is LTS
[21:47] <wootehfoot> histo, thanks, generated a few modelines and tested 75 and 85Hz, doesn't work at 1920x1080 due to bandwidth issues - works good otherwise - cable clk is 250Mhz+ at 85Hz
[21:48] <Pinkamen1_D> the main hard drive has three partitions, the main one looks fine, but the two others seem to be on the same end block and almost the same start block according to fdisk
[21:48] <Jordan_U> genii: Deformative: So far. The way to be sure that a version is LTS is that it has "LTS" at the end of the version.
[21:48] <daftykins> anayou: try some data recovery programs for FAT, unfortunately i don't know any. if it was a full format on the phone that wrote over the whole card, it'll be toast - but you might as well try
[21:48] <Deformative> Jordan_U, Sigh. Ok.  Let me login from my laptop so I can walk down to the pool room and put in a livecd.
[21:48] <Deformative> Brb.
[21:48] <daftykins> Deformative: what prevents you from booting a liveCD/USB/etc ?
[21:48] <Deformative> daftykins, Nothing, I was asking if that is what I needed to do.
[21:48] <Deformative> So now I am on my way to the cluster room.
[21:49] <Jordan_U> anayou: You can try to recover some files with photorec, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope.
[21:49] <Pinkamen1_D> any command line tool which could fix these overlapping partitions?
[21:49] <Deformative-mobi> Jordan_U: Ok, going to go try the livecd now.
[21:49] <Martinius> hi rob
[21:49] <Jordan_U> Pinkamen1_D: fixparts
[21:50] <anayou> ok how can do this photorec
[21:51] <arthurdent> histo: nope, that doesn't seem to be it :/ hmm this is rather perplexing
[21:51] <anayou> jordan_U
[21:51] <Jordan_U> anayou: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step
[21:52] <anayou> ok i do this
[21:52] <arthurdent> histo: in dconf-editor its org.mate.desktop.background and in gsettings it's org.mate.background o_o
[21:52] <anayou> now
[21:52] <anayou> good bye jordan  & thanks
[21:53] <Jordan_U> anayou: You're welcome.
[21:53] <arthurdent> i am sure this is due to some misunderstanding i have about dconf/gconf
[21:54] <us0r> hey guys, what would you suggest for a GUI to configure/manage apache on ubuntu?
[21:54] <jrib> us0r: none
[21:54] <arthurdent> vim
[21:55] <nalkri> Hi, what happens after Zany Zebra?
[21:55] <jrib> nalkri: unicode
[21:55] <us0r> arthurdent: thanks
[21:55] <Deformative-mobi> Jordan_U: Can you re-link that fo rme?
[21:55] <jrib> nalkri: j/k I don't know (my guess is they either start over or do (A... B...)
[21:56] <IdleOne> nalkri: not really a support question but who knows if we will even get there, more in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:58] <cheshirelulcat> Hey, can anyone help me with partition ids and fdisk?
[21:59] <daftykins> cheshirelulcat: just ask in detail
[21:59] <cheshirelulcat> Yeah, any way to ensure my NTFS partition doesn't show up when I do fdisk -l
[21:59] <arthurdent> not if you still want to be able to use your NTFS partition
[21:59] <daftykins> why do you want to hide it?
[22:00] <cheshirelulcat> Let's go with personal reasons
[22:00] <cheshirelulcat> Not security.
[22:00] <cheshirelulcat> I've already marked it as hidden
[22:00] <arthurdent> doesn't want xer SO to know xe also uses windows
[22:00] <cheshirelulcat> And no automount
[22:01] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: how much do you care about being able to access your NTFS partition easily? you can hide it with gparted
[22:01] <cheshirelulcat> Not much.
[22:01] <daftykins> cheshirelulcat: unless you explain the circumstance it makes no sense to me
[22:01] <cheshirelulcat> Just...
[22:01] <arthurdent> just hide it with gparted then. you'll have to unhide it in order to boot into it from grub or whatever
[22:01] <cheshirelulcat> Just don't worry about the circumstances.
[22:02] <cheshirelulcat> No problem
[22:02] <cheshirelulcat> I did hide it with Gparted, still shows up on fdisk
[22:02] <arthurdent> just right click the drive in gparted > manage flags > [x] hidden
[22:02] <arthurdent> maybe you need to reboot? idk
[22:02] <cheshirelulcat> Already have
[22:02] <cheshirelulcat> Would removing the boot flag do it?
[22:02] <Dr_Willis> hideing a partion hides it from fdisk? makes me wonder how fdisk would unhide it then.
[22:03] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: No. We can't help you unless you actually explain your end goal.
[22:03] <arthurdent> I don't know that it does for a fact, I guess I just assumed.
[22:03] <cheshirelulcat> Yeah, here's my end goal.
[22:03] <cheshirelulcat> If I type in fdisk -l
[22:03] <cheshirelulcat> sda1 doesn't show up.
[22:03] <cheshirelulcat> That's it.
[22:03] <daftykins> not going to happen
[22:03] <Dr_Willis> cheshirelulcat:  disable it in the bios.
[22:03] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: Delete the partition then.
[22:03] <cheshirelulcat> Aw god
[22:03] <cheshirelulcat> No other way?
[22:03] <arthurdent> buy a portable harddrive and a safe
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> why would you think theres some other way? the PC is reporting the drives its seeing
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> actually the BIOS is reporting it.
[22:04] <cheshirelulcat> Can I change the partition id?
[22:04] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: Also, not having something show up in fdisk -l doesn't really sound like an end goal to me.
[22:04] <cheshirelulcat> That's an end goal for me.
[22:04] <arthurdent> write a bash script that overrides fdisk and doesn't print lines containing sda1
[22:04] <cheshirelulcat> :\
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> cheshirelulcat:  change it to what?   you can change the filesystem. but whats the point
[22:04] <cheshirelulcat> I was thinking changing the partition id
[22:04] <daftykins> it's what we call a fools errand.
[22:04] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: Why do you not want the partition to show up in fdisk -l? Does the output look prettier without it?
[22:04] <daftykins> i think you've even come in here and asked this before
[22:04] <daftykins> because i remember this lunacy
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> I haven't been here befory.
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> *Before.
[22:05] <daftykins> totally had this question asked before :)
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> if you dont want normal user level people mounting the thing. theres ways to do that.
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> Yeah, it requires a root to activate
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> I know that.
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> Like, when I have an fdisk -l output
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> And it says NTFS
[22:05] <cheshirelulcat> Can I modify the id in order for it to report ext3?
[22:06] <cheshirelulcat> Or not report it at all?
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> cheshirelulcat:  guess you could in gparted, or fdisk.   and also you may accidently delete all your data
[22:06] <cheshirelulcat> well shit
[22:06] <Pinkamen1_D> so I am using fixparts because my server stopped booting
[22:06] <IdleOne> !language
[22:06] <cheshirelulcat> Sorry.
[22:06] <cheshirelulcat> >.>
[22:06] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: rename the fdisk binary to "fdisk.real" and in its place make a script containing "fdisk.real $@ | grep -v sda1".
[22:06] <Pinkamen1_D> I did not actually give it any commands other then viewing the partitions
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  going to point out that parted, and cfdisk, can also see it. ;)
[22:07] <daftykins> thing is who with any brain isn't going to spot #1 missing? you'd have to at least masquerade it as another Linux one instead of NTFS.
[22:07] <cheshirelulcat> Yeah
[22:07] <Pinkamen1_D> when I ask to save and exit, it says "THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS". This sounds kind of iffy, I dont want data baing lost
[22:07] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: cheshirelulcat's end goal was just to have it not show up in fdisk -l.
[22:08] <cheshirelulcat> I've got 2, 3, and 4 missing right now
[22:08] <Pinkamen1_D> has anyone actually used fixpart?
[22:08] <cheshirelulcat> No idea why, let's just leave it at that
[22:08] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: http://pastie.org/private/vjkxctinfe7ayhaj4flw
[22:08] <Jordan_U> Pinkamen1_D: You should always have backups of important data.
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> data worth keeping.. is data worth backing up.
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> bbl.
[22:09] <Agamemnus> does anyone know how i can download the static version of mysql 4.1?
[22:09] <cheshirelulcat> I'll try it out, see if it works.
[22:09] <arthurdent> you'll have to re-source your profile or log out and back in
[22:09] <Pinkamen1_D> well its not the data I am worried about, its all of the configuration I  have done to get it to work how i like
[22:09] <arthurdent> "source /etc/profile"
[22:09] <bekks> Agamemnus: That version is pretty old. And why do you need a static version?
[22:10] <Jordan_U> arthurdent: You'd need to use the absolute path, /usr/sbin/fdisk, in your script then (otherwise you'll get an infinite loop).
[22:10] <arthurdent> Jordan_U: derp
[22:10] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: change 'fdisk -l' to '/usr/bin/fdisk "$@"' in that script
[22:10] <arthurdent> er no quotes around the $@ actually
[22:11] <Jordan_U> arthurdent: Quotes are correct in that case, $@ is a special variable.
[22:11] <arthurdent> Jordan_U: are you sure? you don't want all the flags to be in one token
[22:12] <Agamemnus> bekks: because everything else crashes.
[22:12] <bekks> Agamemnus: Then you should fix the cause of those crashes.
[22:12] <Agamemnus> bekks: it is mysql.
[22:12] <bekks> Agamemnus: I strongly doubt that.
[22:13] <Jordan_U> arthurdent: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_arg_in_.24.2A
[22:13] <Agamemnus> it crashes when I run mysql_init.
[22:13] <arthurdent> ok
[22:13] <bekks> Agamemnus: What exactly happens?
[22:13] <arthurdent> Jordan_U: weird
[22:13] <cheshirelulcat> Arthur, I don't have an fdbin dir
[22:13] <cheshirelulcat> Ought I make one?
[22:14] <arthurdent> yes
[22:14] <cheshirelulcat> What do I place in PATH
[22:14] <arthurdent> http://pastie.org/8243538 i updated the script the way it should be
[22:14] <Agamemnus> one moment
[22:14] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: just add that line somewhere in /etc/profile
[22:14] <arthurdent> then do "source /etc/profile"
[22:14] <cheshirelulcat> aight
[22:15] <Jordan_U> arthurdent: It makes sense, otherwise there would be no way to pass on parameters when a script is called like this: myscript "argument one" "argument two" 3 four "High five!"
[22:15] <Agamemnus> abnormal termination signal.
[22:16] <PeachSoda> oh no!
[22:16] <cheshirelulcat> before the fi?
[22:16] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: at the very top or very bottom
[22:16] <Agamemnus> bekks: abnormal termination signal.
[22:16] <bekks> Agamemnus: then pastebin "strace mysql_init" - beware, it will cause a lot of output.
[22:16] <Agamemnus> i'm not sure how i'm supposed to do that.
[22:17] <Agamemnus> mysql_init is an internal function.
[22:17] <Agamemnus> of the mysql library
[22:17] <cheshirelulcat> It's still showing up
[22:17] <bekks> Agamemnus: Then what exactly are you doing? :)
[22:17] <Agamemnus> running that function.
[22:17] <bekks> Agamemnus: How?
[22:17] <Agamemnus> through some code that is compiled
[22:17] <bekks> Agamemnus: Are we supposed to guess that? :)
[22:17] <Agamemnus> statically
[22:17] <StarshipTravelle> sorry for my english, but how i can joint channel #ubuntu-ru
[22:17] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: Did you make /fdbin/fdisk executable?
[22:17] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: is it actually called /dev/sda1?
[22:18] <cheshirelulcat> Yeah, it's /dev/sda1
[22:18] <Agamemnus> via a header that is designed for mysql 4.0.17
[22:18] <arthurdent> StarshipTravelle: /join #ubuntu-ru
[22:18] <cheshirelulcat> No, didn't make it executable
[22:18] <Agamemnus> bekks: Do you see the problem there?
[22:18] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: sorry, you need to chmod +x the /fdbin/fdisk file
[22:18] <bekks> Agamemnus: uhm, then you should update that application.
[22:18] <StarshipTravelle> arthurdent:  were i can write this?
[22:18] <Agamemnus> I have no way to update the header.
[22:18] <arthurdent> StarshipTravelle: in the chat
[22:18] <cheshirelulcat> np
[22:18] <Agamemnus> it actually runs fine if I don't statically link it.
[22:18] <StarshipTravelle> arthurdent: ok - thanks:)
[22:19] <bekks> Agamemnus: Then dont link it statically.
[22:19] <Agamemnus> But I need to because I can't install things on my server
[22:19] <cheshirelulcat> shiit
[22:19] <cheshirelulcat> now it says no such file or directory
[22:19] <Agamemnus> like libmysqlclient.so and libtinfo.so
[22:19] <bekks> Agamemnus: So which application is it? What does it do?
[22:19] <Flannel> cheshirelulcat: please mind the language, thanks.
[22:19] <cheshirelulcat> Sorry
[22:19] <Agamemnus> it doesn't matter.
[22:19] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: BTW, please do not come in here in 5 months after forgetting you've done this and ask why fdisk isn't working properly as this will utterly confuse anyone that tried to figure out what's happening.
[22:19] <Agamemnus> i'm up the creek for now
[22:19] <tina> Where am I?
[22:19] <cheshirelulcat> I won't lol
[22:19] <cheshirelulcat> It
[22:19] <bekks> Agamemnus: Without providing information, I cant help you.
[22:19] <cheshirelulcat> It's a one-time thing
[22:20] <StarshipTravelle> sorry, but it says: Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[22:20] <StarshipTravelle> cheshirelulcat: sorry, but it says: Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[22:20] <ZIPY> StarshipTravelle: you need to have an account /msg q hello
[22:20] <Agamemnus> i told you everything.
[22:20] <Agamemnus> all right, you want to know what it does.
[22:20] <Agamemnus> it accesses a mysql server
[22:20] <Agamemnus> manipulates the data
[22:20] <Agamemnus> sends data back.
[22:20] <Agamemnus> and closes.
[22:20] <FloodBot1> Agamemnus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:21] <cheshirelulcat> It says /usr/bin/fdisk , no such file or directory
[22:21] <ZIPY> StarshipTravelle: forget it i thought im on quakenet lol
[22:21] <bekks> Agamemnus: Then compile it dynamically, and provide the custom locations of the dynamic libraries needed, when compiling it.
[22:21] <Agamemnus> is that what you were asking when you asked what it does?
[22:21] <arthurdent> that's dumb that they would make the channel +r
[22:21] <bekks> Agamemnus: There is no point in running mysql 4.x anymore.
[22:21] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: change /usr/bin/fdisk to /bin/fdisk in the script
[22:22] <Agamemnus> i don't have to install those libraries?
[22:22] <Agamemnus> i can just copy them in somewhere?
[22:22] <ZIPY> StarshipTravelle: /msg NickServ REGISTER password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:22] <bekks> Agamemnus: Sure.
[22:22] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: sorry, change it to /sbin/fdisk
[22:22] <Agamemnus> so, just the .so files?
[22:22] <Agamemnus> I thought there were other files
[22:22] <cheshirelulcat> works
[22:22] <cheshirelulcat> Thanks :D
[22:22] <StarshipTravelle> ZIPY: sorry, its too dificult for me, i had alredy created account, but i cant joint #ubuntu-ru, i dont know how it works
[22:23] <bekks> Agamemnus: There might be, though.
[22:23] <cheshirelulcat> If I ever want to remove this, just delete the script and the line in /etc/profile?
[22:23] <Agamemnus> i contacted my host and asked them to move me to their unmanaged plan.
[22:23] <Agamemnus> i will wait for that, I guess.
[22:23] <ZIPY> StarshipTravelle: what irc client are you using?
[22:23] <arthurdent> cheshirelulcat: yep
[22:23] <StarshipTravelle> ZIPY:  pidgin
[22:23] <Jordan_U> cheshirelulcat: Yes, and also remove the directory /fdbin/.
[22:23] <cheshirelulcat> Mmk, thank you very much!
[22:23] <arthurdent> np
[22:25] <ZIPY> StarshipTravelle: ok if u want you can isntall sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack and activate irc helper there you can put in your nickserv nickname and your password and it will automatically login on connect and you can join channels with +r
[22:26] <arthurdent> Jordan_U: lol he's gonna be back asking how to hide it elsewhere. i still have no idea why he wanted to do that
[22:27] <StarshipTravelle> ZIPY: ok, i will try this, thanks :)
[22:28] <ZIPY> but u need an account first with the commandline i posted
[22:28] <ZIPY> but you said you have one already
[22:28] <arthurdent> you have to identify
[22:29] <StarshipTravelle> ZIPY: yes, i have create it after installing pidgin
[22:29] <cinvoke> anyone in here know anything about ubuntu halting on boot , or how to diagnose the issue?
[22:30] <Pinkamen1_D> so still no luck fixing the blinking cursor, thought I thought it might be worth mentioning that pressing ctrl+alt+del while its blinking has the effect of rebooting the server. Does this mean that the problem is something with the server as opposed to the ubuntu installation?
[22:30] <Pinkamen1_D> (or can you do that anyway)
[22:31] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: what blinking cursor?
[22:32] <sealbhach> cinvoke, hold down the Shift key immediately after you press the power on button, see if you get the boot menu
[22:32] <maxmas> !list
[22:32] <maxmas> ciao a tutti
[22:32] <maxmas> !list
[22:32] <cinvoke> sealbhach: recovery console?
[22:33] <ZIPY> cinvoke: yes
[22:33] <ZIPY> cinvoke: you see where it stops then
[22:33] <cinvoke> ZIPY: did that and repair packages
[22:33] <cinvoke> ZIPY: o
[22:33] <cinvoke> ZIPY: how?
[22:33] <sealbhach> Just try it cinvoke
[22:34] <cinvoke> ZIPY: sorry i was thinking of something else. it stops on "checking battery state".  sealbhach
[22:34] <cinvoke> sealbhach: ZIPY i tried reinstalling pae too.
[22:35] <cinvoke> sealbhach: ZIPY tried dpkg-reconfigure xfce4-session  or somethign similar
[22:35] <MrSassyPants> for a week or so, firefox has been memleaking until the OOM killer kills it after a few hours. anyone know anything about this?
[22:35] <sealbhach> Can you get the grub menu up and choose an earlier kernel?
[22:36] <Jordan_U> MrSassyPants: Have you tried disabling all plugins/extentions?
[22:36] <MrSassyPants> Jordan_U,
[22:36] <MrSassyPants> nope
[22:36] <cinvoke> sealbhach: yes. let me take a snapshot. and sae work.  give me a few.
[22:37] <Jordan_U> MrSassyPants: See if that stops it, and if it does you can try to narrow down which extention is actually leaking.
[22:37] <MrSassyPants> Jordan_U, no point to that. Is there a way to show mem usage in firefox' subsystems? a debug screen or something?
[22:39] <Deathfiyr> Hey Guys
[22:39] <Pinkamen1_D> zipy, I am in the process of trying to fix a machine that will no longer boot up
[22:40] <Pinkamen1_D> It boots from livecd but not the hard drive which was working fine yesterday
[22:40] <Pinkamen1_D> will not show grub menu and fsck does not seem to fix it
[22:40] <Deathfiyr> Pinkamen1_D I had the same problem with an old pc of mine
[22:41] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: so it doesnt boot?
[22:41] <Pinkamen1_D> no, it will not, it just shows a blinking cursor
[22:41] <Deathfiyr> check your sata/ide cables
[22:41] <Pinkamen1_D> the hard drive is SAS, and I have just tried reseating it
[22:41] <genii> MrSassyPants: about:memory
[22:41] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: or you have the wrong hdd in your bios as startup
[22:42] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: select the one that contains gurb
[22:42]  * Deathfiyr wants to know why there are flood bots connected?
[22:43] <Pinkamen1_D> what would cause the bios options to change...
[22:43] <cinvoke> sealbhach: since im booting into an earlier kernel, if it does boot, wont it break some of my sw packs?  like lamp?
[22:43] <MrSassyPants> genii, thanks. I also have a constant 100% cpu (1/4 cpus) on firefox which is newish
[22:44] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: i had the same problem today when i reinstalled debian and i have windows on a 2nd harddrive
[22:45] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: the debian installer installed grub on the windows hdd
[22:45] <ZIPY> Pinkamen1_D: but my bio was still booting from debian hdd
[22:45] <chrs_> my unity desktop isn't working quite right
[22:45] <ZIPY> +s
[22:45] <ZIPY> so i had only a blinking cursor
[22:45] <chrs_> i believe it's crashing because of the software simulated acceleration
[22:46] <cinvoke> ZIPY: first it shows "saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned"  then halts on "checking battery state..."
[22:46] <chrs_> where are the logs for that sort of thing to help me see?
[22:47] <reisio> chrs_: /var/log/
[22:48] <ZIPY> cinvoke: maybe someone can help you if you paste your dmesg
[22:49] <cinvoke> ZIPY: ok. trying without guest additions
[22:49] <chrs_> reisio: find /var/log -iregex '.*compiz.*' print
[22:49] <chrs_> is nothing
[22:49] <reisio> chrs_: what's the problem?
[22:49] <chrs_> not sure what i need to be looking for
[22:50] <chrs_> when i login all i see is the desktop background
[22:50] <chrs_> none of the applications are launching
[22:50] <ZIPY> cinvoke: why without guest additions?
[22:50] <reisio> chrs_: this is ordinary Unity?
[22:50] <chrs_> and i get periodically kicked out of the desktop and back into the login window
[22:50] <chrs_> yes
[22:50] <chrs_> plain ubnuntu 13.04
[22:50] <cinvoke> ZIPY: that randomly crashed just now
[22:50] <chrs_> i don't have hardware graphical accleration yet though
[22:51] <chrs_> so i guess the graphics system ui is using mesa or something
[22:51] <ZIPY> cinvoke: you are on virtualbox, dont you have snapshots?
[22:51] <chrs_> is "unity" the window manager?
[22:51] <reisio> chrs_: nope
[22:52] <reisio> chrs_: compiz is
[22:52] <ZIPY> no
[22:52] <chrs_> the login window looks fine, it's after i try logging in, shit goes wrong
[22:52] <ZIPY> its your enviroment
[22:52] <cinvoke> ZIPY: i only have 2, which are messed up too.  the inly way i can get into desktop is zlt cntl f1,  "xinit"  and xfce4-session
[22:52] <ZIPY> chrs_: unity is your desktop enviroement
[22:52] <chrs_> ok
[22:53] <chrs_> would be interesting to see what compiz is crashing on, just to make sure it's the slow graphics
[22:53] <ZIPY> cinvoke: how do u xinit if ur boot freezes?
[22:54] <ZIPY> cinvoke: so you can boot, but you have an xorg problem?
[22:54] <ZIPY> xserver
[22:54] <cinvoke> ZIPY: it just halts, never continues, so i swich to another term instance
[22:54] <reisio> chrs_: sorry you get booted back to the login screen, you said?
[22:54] <chrs_> yea
[22:54] <chrs_> i'm starting to see the problem
[22:55] <ZIPY> cinvoke: and what happens if you startx?
[22:55] <chrs_> i tried launching compiz manually from a terminal
[22:55] <chrs_> "error opengl es not loaded"
[22:55] <chrs_> or something, i lost the window
[22:55] <ZIPY> cinvoke: ah no lghtdm i meant
[22:55] <ZIPY> or what ever you use
[22:55] <chrs_> every time switch from x to a virtual console terminal i get kicked out of the desktop environment and back to a gui login
[22:55] <cinvoke> ZIPY: i use lightdm for xfce4
[22:56] <chrs_> i found a blog where some user is having the same issues as i'm having on this laptop
[22:56] <jcat> is google down!?!?!
[22:56] <chrs_> looks like there might be some kind of workaround
[22:57] <ZIPY> jcat: lol thats what i was wondering too
[22:57] <jcat> duuude
[22:57] <ZIPY> back again :D
[22:57] <reisio> yeah it's not in perfect condition
[22:57] <cinvoke> ZIPY: so in another window, i ran  sudo lightdm, and it made the sreeen larger light it was about to jump into gui, then went back to  original window, where it was stuck on checking battery state
[22:57] <cinvoke> light=like
[22:59] <ZIPY> cinvoke: hmm i dont use lightdm but i guess you can reconfigure or reinstall it too
[22:59] <SierraAR> Out of curiousity, why does apt-get upgrade not seem to update everything that update manager finds and updates?
[23:00] <ZIPY> SierraAR: apt-get update first
[23:00] <ZIPY> then apt-get upgrade
[23:00] <djtdjtdjt> Hi all. I have just run the command, "rm -rf" with nothing after it, on a server for a web client. The server has now become "broken", nothing working at all. What happens with "rm -rf" with no arguments or anything after it?
[23:00] <cinvoke> ZIPY: i just purged it.  upgrade now or after install?
[23:01] <ZIPY> cinvoke: that upgrade was for SierraAR
[23:01] <cinvoke> ZIPY: o ok :)
[23:01] <SierraAR> ZIPY: I do that before running apt-get upgrade, but after  areboot update manager always has a couple more things to update that apt-get upgrade didn't pick up. Running update manager seems to clear them all, though.
[23:01] <djtdjtdjt> Does anybody know what happens with "rm -rf" without anything after it?
[23:01] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: nothing happens.
[23:02] <ZIPY> djtdjtdjt: it asks for a path
[23:03] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: check your history for what you actually ran
[23:03] <djtdjtdjt> it was just coincidental that the minute after I run rm -rf, numerous times, the entire site goes down, all WHM login breaks, everything breaks. I'm not the only one with access to the server though.
[23:04] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: why would you run "rm -rf" numerous times if 1) you don't know what it does and 2) it didn't seem to do anything the first few times?
[23:04] <anayou> hi
[23:04] <reisio> anayou: hiyo
[23:04] <chrs_> AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arml-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed failed
[23:05] <chrs_> that appears to be the root of my problem
[23:05] <reisio> djtdjtdjt: even if you gave it the path '/', on any install that isn't massively out of date, nothing would happen
[23:05] <chrs_> how do i find which package is supposed to provide a particular file?
[23:05] <chrs_> is that a dpkg option?
[23:05] <anayou> hello reisio
[23:05] <reisio> GNU decided a while back that people who really want to run that command will be willing to exert more effort
[23:05] <reisio> anayou: hiyo
[23:06] <chrs_> i think i found it, nevermind
[23:06] <djtdjtdjt> jrib: I knew it deleted a directory. But I had a dumb moment and didn't specify the directory.
[23:06] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: well it doesn't do anything
[23:06] <reisio> chrs_: your solution?
[23:06] <anayou> every body here is work with linux
[23:07] <reisio> chrs_: it's protocol to say what your solution was, for posterity
[23:07] <reisio> anayou: a high percentage
[23:07] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: you may enjoy reading http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2013-05/msg00162.html
[23:08] <djtdjtdjt> Is it possible to completely break WHM Accelerated and all CPanel users when logged in as root and running a variation of the rm -rf command?
[23:08] <ZIPY> djtdjtdjt: if you want, i can test it on a vm :D
[23:08] <anayou> ok , i work with ubuntu 13.04
[23:08] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: of course.  Depends on the variation.
[23:08] <anayou> i have problem in my ubuntu
[23:08] <djtdjtdjt> rm -rf * or rm -rf / or rm -rf rm -rf rm - rf
[23:09] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: please don't paste those commands here with context.
[23:09] <jrib> !danger
[23:09] <cinvoke> ZIPY: i just rebooted after purge as it said some things would only take affect after reboot.  it actually tries to go into the desktop and states: Could not update ICEauthority file: /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority
[23:09] <jrib> djtdjtdjt: obviously if you issue an rm command that deletes files your program requires, it will make your program not work.
[23:10] <ZIPY> Ehfar)88&!%&
[23:10] <ZIPY> haha i had that problem too cinvoke
[23:11] <anayou> guys can i install whatsapp in ubuntu
[23:11] <reisio> anayou: yup
[23:11] <cinvoke> ZIPY: gdm is owned by gdm:gdm kik
[23:11] <cinvoke> lo
[23:11] <cinvoke> l
[23:11] <cinvoke> wtcrap
[23:11] <holstein> anayou: nothing in ubntu is preveting that..
[23:11] <anayou> how?
[23:11] <ZIPY> cinvoke: it was wrong permissions on .iceauthority
[23:11] <reisio> anayou: no idea
[23:11] <holstein> anayou: let me google, and see what application you are talking about, and see if there is linux support
[23:12] <cinvoke> ZIPY: should root own the whole folder?
[23:12] <anayou> he see yes
[23:12] <reisio> http://www.google.com/search?q=%22whatsapp%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org
[23:12] <anayou> i can do this but how?
[23:12] <ZIPY> cinvoke: wait a sec ill check in vm
[23:13] <cinvoke> ZIPY: gdm is a real group in etc group
[23:13] <cinvoke> atleast
[23:13] <holstein> anayou: i see there is an andoid version.. you would run android in ubuntu.. or ask the developers for a linux/ubuntu version
[23:13] <anayou> android in ubuntu
[23:13] <holstein> anayou: ideally, you would have this conversation with the developers of the applications.. we, as volunteers for supporting ubuntu, are not going to be able to make ubuntu capable of running that application..
[23:14] <holstein> anayou: http://askubuntu.com/questions/279816/installing-apps-like-whatsapp for example
[23:14] <holstein> anayou: i would think about replacing that functionality with a native application
[23:15] <anayou> he not work .. i do every thing from askubuntu
[23:16] <thurstylark> What command do I use to find my version?
[23:17] <anayou> & i want to downloaded from terminal
[23:17] <anayou> any app.
[23:17] <daftykins> thurstylark: cat /etc/lsb-release would work but there's some proper way
[23:18] <thurstylark> daftykins: that worked. Thanks
[23:18] <anayou> wait me
[23:18] <cinvoke> ZIPY: i just chowned to gdm:root... that seems to work fine
[23:19] <ZIPY> cinvoke: i didnt even have the gdm folder on my 12.04 vm
[23:19] <ZIPY> ah lol
[23:19] <ZIPY> thats gnome
[23:19] <cinvoke> something i installed on top of something else probably
[23:19] <ZIPY> gnome desktop manager
[23:19] <cinvoke> oh!
[23:19] <cinvoke> i did
[23:19] <cinvoke> dammit
[23:19] <holstein> anayou: i assure you, there is no current native linux/ubuntu version of whatsapp that i have seen.. but, you *can* install the android sdk and run whatsapp there.. or, ask the developers how you are intended to run it in ubuntu..
[23:20] <holstein> !language
[23:20] <ZIPY> ^^
[23:20] <cinvoke> ubottu: thats not even a word silly bot

[23:23] <standaman> Question: If I create a videoDVD with DeVeDe and there is additional space on it, can I also add some non-movie files?
[23:23] <thurstylark> So, I have a ubuntu 11.04 server, and I want to upgrade to 12.04 or newer, but I only have install media for up to 11.04. Is there still a way to upgrade?
[23:23] <reisio> standaman: don't see why not
[23:24] <reisio> thurstylark: I can't imagine otherwise
[23:24] <daftykins> standaman: yeah should work
[23:24] <zoidberg-> Hey, so i have an esxi server with a little network inside it.. a linux router and then some natted hosts.  When i ssh to the router using keys, works fine, when i ssh from the router to one of the natted box even though keys are installed like the router it asks for a password... any idea why it does this and how i can make the keys just take affect?
[23:25] <cinvoke> ZIPY: reinstalled lightdm.  this time it looks like it actually did something. restarted. so im guessing it fell back to an old halfway installed gdm when i uninstalled lightdm
[23:25] <holstein> thurstylark: i would rather install 12.04 fresh,a nd literally whatever issues that might encounter
[23:25] <cinvoke> ZIPY: i may still have to purge gdm....
[23:25] <ZIPY> cinvoke: you should uninstall gdm too
[23:25] <ZIPY> ye
[23:25] <reisio> holstein: this won't work any longer?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades
[23:25] <ZIPY> or lightdm and use gdm the one you prefer :D
[23:26] <ZIPY> cinvoke: im off now, if you still get troubles, paste xorg.0.log, xserver-error and dmg. maybe someone can help you
[23:27] <Displacer_> hey guys. I got a question. What is the best GB emu for ubuntu?
[23:27] <ZIPY> cinvoke: dmg= dmesg ^^
[23:27] <cinvoke> ZIPY: thx!
[23:27] <reisio> Displacer_: hrmm?
[23:27] <daftykins> Displacer_: that's not really a support quest i'm afraid.
[23:28] <holstein> reisio: should... but id still rather do whatever it takes for a fresh install
[23:28] <Displacer_> daftykins: im sorry but what do you mean?
[23:28] <holstein> eitherway, 12.04 packages will be downloaded.. might as well be pre install, and make a nice installer
[23:29] <Displacer_> i just switched to linux and i need a way to run LSDj since i cant use VBA any more. but i havnt tried wine yet so ill do that
[23:29] <reisio> lsdj?
[23:30] <Displacer_> music tracking software for the DMG-01
[23:30] <holstein> Displacer_: try not using so many letters.. and assume that the volunteers here mostly just run linux/ubuntu, and need to know what funcitonality you need, or more details about what you are tyring to run and why
[23:30] <reisio> Displacer_: dmg-01? :)
[23:31] <holstein> Displacer_: there are many "trackers".. you will want to get used to using JACK.. you can try #opensourcemusicians
[23:31] <holstein> !proaudio
[23:32] <reisio> I'd just go ahead and look for an alternative instead of trying to run a win32 app
[23:32] <Displacer_> holstein: haha well if you know the field im in then you would know what those letters mean and you are more likely to be able to help me. I need an Emulator to run Little Sound DJ which is a Classic Gameboy rom in the .gb format. i am a chip musician and i have no way of running visual boy advanced since i switched to linux
[23:34] <Displacer_> holstein: also thank you for the chat link ill try there
[23:34] <holstein> Displacer_: there are many options, and you'll want to go to #opensourcemusicians and other general linux channels for audio. this is not a proaudio channel
[23:34] <holstein> Displacer_: there are *many* ways to do what you are wanting to do in ubuntu
[23:36] <holstein> Displacer_: that whas the channel.. and im giving you information there..
[23:37] <Displacer_> holstein: again thank you
[23:38] <vadimer> how is it going
[23:42] <vadimer> how do you get good at installing different types of files?
[23:43] <robert__> my new 3tb disk appears as 2 devices in gparted. i want to have it as a single unbootable ext4 volume. how can i do that?
[23:44] <Slart> vadimer: how do you mean? installing software from source?
[23:45] <Slart> robert__: if you have more than one partition on the hard drive you can always remove them and then create a new partition.. NOTE! this will destroy any data you have in these partitions
[23:45] <trism> Displacer_: does the visualboyadvance package not work?
[23:45] <robert__> Slart: there are no partitions on the drive. it is empty. but it appears as two devices sdb and sdc
[23:46] <robert__> Slart: drive sdb has 2tb and sdc the remaining 700gb or whatever.
[23:46] <Slart> robert__: hmm.. that's odd..not sure why it would do that
[23:48] <Slart> robert__: it's a normal drive? is it possible it's somehow setup to be "compatible" with older systems? a jumper perhaps
[23:48] <daftykins> ^good thinking
[23:49] <robert__> Slart: i'll have a look, but i didn't notice anything like a jumper. it had a label referring to seagate's web page on 2tb drives, but i didn't see anything beyond information on which os's have compatible drivers.
[23:50] <robert__> Slart: i'll try booting into win7 and see what that sees.
[23:52] <OerHeks> maybe a hybride drive, ssd and platters?
[23:52] <Slart> robert__: can't hurt to look
[23:53] <Slart> robert__: seagate's website mentions that 3Tb might be a problem in some configurations.. my guess is that it's some kind of safety setting
[23:54] <daftykins> robert__: wait, is windows 7 installed on this 3TB disk?
[23:55] <daftykins> robert__: is it also a custom build PC with maybe - a gigabyte motherboard?
[23:57] <Deathfiyr> join my channel to talk about hacking, backtrack and other stuff!! #HackShit
[23:58] <robert__> daftykins: win7 only shows 2tb and completely ignores the rest of the disk. i have tried in two linux installations. one on a thinkpad and one on a dell optiplex 330.
