[18:59] <Rob1337> My computer is dual-booted, and internet works fine in windows 7. whatever it is, it's related to ubuntu.
[18:59] <danley> I assume you don't get lots of missed beacons, invalid packets and stuff
[18:59] <myhero> anyone with help n ftp ? i installed vsftpd and can dwnload files from it to mobile over wifi but cant upload files to daemon ? and its fast then openssh-server tranfer speeds....is ftp faster than ssh ?
[18:59] <myhero> on
[19:00] <danley> Rob1337, have you tried this: http://pleph.appspot.com/init/posts/view/2657865 ?
[19:00] <Rob1337> danley: here's a pastebin of iwconfig http://pastebin.com/6Vpe4dzg and I will check out that now
[19:00] <escott> myhero, it doesnt encrypt which might slow down a weakly powered device like a phone
[19:01] <wildwind> myhero: any errors on upload?
[19:01] <myhero> escott: hmm...ok....but y i m not able to upload to ftp ? when download is quick
[19:02] <myhero> wildwind: yes.....downloading is fine on ftp but uploading isn't happening at all....anything with settings in vsftpd.conf ?
[19:03] <Noskcaj> ERMAGERD Floodbot 2 is gone
[19:03] <myhero> escott: what if i don't excrypt over ssh ? is that allowed ?
[19:03] <wildwind> myhero: what client in your phone says when you try to uload?
[19:04] <larry_> llutz,  i typed this in as you asked  sudo ln -s usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.3 usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2
[19:04] <escott> myhero, its rather non-standard and also weakens your ssh server (because they share the same set of protocols)
[19:04] <Rob1337> K, danley, I will reboot and see how things are
[19:04] <wildwind> myhero: also check logs on server
[19:04] <babak> کسی اینجا هست کمک کنه!
[19:04] <larry_> llutz,  and got this ln: failed to create symbolic link `usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2': No such file or directory
[19:04] <myhero> wildwind: 1min....i'll upload again and return with error msg...btw its file expert app on android 2.3.6 gingerbread
[19:04] <escott> larry_, you need a "/" in front of "usr/lib...
[19:05] <larry_> thanks escott
[19:05] <myhero> wildwind: how to check logs and 1 more problem.....i typed ftp in terminal and there was ftp> then i tried to mkdir ~/Desktop/something but it said permission denied....y ?
[19:05] <babak> F1-help
[19:06] <bobo37773> Possible to pipe rtmpdump to smplayer instead of mplayer??
[19:06] <wildwind> larry_: see last comment here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/photoprint/+bug/260849 and double-check
[19:06] <larry_> IT works  :)
[19:07] <wildwind> myhero: ftp doesn't know ~
[19:07] <babak> I am using ubutnu 12.04 and I have problem with PPTP VPN
[19:07] <larry_> wildwind,  i found that a week ago, but it did not help
[19:07] <bekks> myhero: "ftp" starts a ftp shell.
[19:08] <Rob1337> danley, I did as instructed in the link you sent, wireless connection is still slow
[19:08] <Sivik> i'm not seeing an option in handbrake to convert to avi
[19:08] <Sivik> mkv or mp4 are my only options
[19:08] <myhero> wildwind: i also tried ftp> mkdir /home/user/Desktop/dir again permission denied bekks
[19:08] <babak> MPPE required, but MS-CHAP[v2] auth not performed. [19:08] <wildwind> myhero: connect to your ftp server from laptop or from server itself and try to upload
[19:08] <danley> Rob1337, you even did the modprobe part?
[19:09] <bekks> myhero: Thats not how mkdir works in ftp.
[19:09] <wildwind> myhero: do it with default file manager
[19:09] <babak> pppd version 2.4.5
[19:09] <myhero> bekks: what am i doing wrong ? and whats the orrect way ?
[19:09] <myhero> correct*
[19:09] <danley> after the restart, that is Rob1337

[19:10] <bekks> myhero: create the directory using your file manager.
[19:10] <Rob1337> oh, it said "reboot or run these commands" for the last for commands there, so I just rebooted. Should I run those 4 commands now?
[19:10] <myhero> bekks: but mkdir ommand is also given in ftp....so how to use it ?
[19:10] <larry_> llutz,  it would help alot if i could cut and paste from one application to another
[19:10] <danley> you can try. if that doesn't help I'm not sure what causes the problem.
[19:10] <larry_> but xchat wont allow it
[19:11] <llutz> larry_: well, xchat does that fine here
[19:11] <larry_> so i have  type it all in, and change screens between each  app
[19:11] <escott> larry_, there are two cut buffers in linux. highlighting is sufficient to get something in the first buffer
[19:11] <myhero> bekks: also i learned ftp and ssh but what about ftps ? same method or anything different and plz name any daemon for ftps
[19:11] <Rob1337> danley, do i need to reboot now?
[19:11] <escott> larry_, you can then paste with either middle click or for some applications a standard paste operations
[19:12] <myhero> wildwind: ^^
[19:12] <danley> after those 4 commands? no
[19:12] <escott> myhero, ftps is going to be just as slow as sftp
[19:12] <Rob1337> k. i'll disconnect lan cable and try a speedtest again then.
[19:12] <wildwind> larry_: ls -la /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint*
[19:12] <myhero> escott: ftp is fast but sftp is very slow
[19:12] <danley> Rob1337, the network card tiself sets the speed to 1mbps, so it thinks the connection can't handle more
[19:12] <llutz> myhero: ftps is ftp over ssl, i.e vsftpd can be used as server
[19:13] <larry_> thanks for that tip escott  never knew it and it is not intuitive as i have never used the middle button before
[19:13] <escott> myhero, yes.. because of the encryption and the slow processor in your phone
[19:13] <dante123> hi all, ran updates yesterday and now cannot login to default unity.....login loop....only using gnome classic or another window manager will get me into gui...otherwise I get kicked back out to login screen HELP
[19:13] <myhero> llutz: how to configure vsftpd for ssl ?
[19:13] <dante123> I think it is a graphics issue....any suggestions?
[19:14] <roasted> hello!
[19:14] <tux-world> after create live from ubuntu i getting this error and live could not up in VmWare : http://upcity.ir/images/87450719236957894657.png
[19:14] <Rob1337> danny, lol, it's like it half worked. i got 7mb/s, which is better than the 1 or 2 mb/s i have been getting, but not near the 20 mb/s i should be getting
[19:14] <larry_> did that wildwind
[19:14] <escott> myhero, you are driving me crazy. why would you ask about ftps when your complaint is slow transfers
[19:14] <roasted> Still unable to shut down without needing root :(
[19:14] <larry_> but have aleady tested photoprint and it now runs
[19:14] <myhero> escott: i want to learn :)
[19:14] <llutz> myhero: http://beginlinux.com/server_training/ftp-server/990-secure-ftp-with-ssl-and-ubuntu-804
[19:15] <llutz> myhero: should be still the same even it the howto is old
[19:15] <danley> at least something. some say you can use mad-wifi to increase the speed on atheros cards, but I don't own one so never tried it
[19:15] <plk_> hi
[19:15] <wildwind> myhero: do you really need it? it will encrypt, by the same phone cpu
[19:15] <dante123> if I start say Google chrome or Steam client for linux....get kicked back out to login screen
[19:15] <danley> so http://madwifi-project.org/ is the last thing I can suggest
[19:15] <danley> other than that I'm clueless as well
[19:15] <Rob1337> danley, tested again, something like 0.15 mb/s... -_-
[19:16] <wildwind> larry_: show
[19:16] <myhero> wildwind: i wanted to tranfer some file yesterday so i did it for the 1st time in my life...sftp ssh etc it was pain in start but its not then a minute now....so i wanna learn all variants :) but nothing serious work now maybe something in future
[19:16] <roasted> I don't understand. I have "jason ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown" in my sudoers file, yet Jason still cannot power the system off without being root. Is this line incorrect??
[19:16] <Sivik> wildwind, handbrake no longer supports avi
[19:17] <wildwind> myhero: then read guides and experiment
[19:17] <danley> maybe state your problem again here and someone else will pick it up, Rob1337. I don't know anything else...
[19:17] <myhero> wildwind: yea...just guide me to easy understandable good guides :0
[19:17] <myhero> :)
[19:17] <plk_> i'm trying to install backtrack based on ubuntu 10.04, but it freezes when it says "Checking battery state [OK]"
[19:17] <myhero> llutz: thnx

[19:18] <wildwind> Sivik: oh, didn't know that

[19:18] <phobosz> Hello, I develop with c++ under ubuntu/linux mint with codeblocks and latetly I have been trying to import projects from visual studio 2012.. sadly it's a pain in the ass, importing whole projects isn't working and copy&paste the files is also a pain because the compiler under codeblocks has always something to nag about! Is there a better IDE for c++ for linux that can handle this better?
[19:18] <dante123> hi all, ran updates yesterday and now cannot login to default unity.....login loop....only using gnome classic or another window manager will get me into gui...otherwise I get kicked back out to login screen HELP
[19:19] <dante123> some apps will also kick me back to login screen.  Any suggestions?
[19:19] <emx> is wuala available on 12.10?
[19:19] <myhero> how to connect 2 comps. or 2 devices with router and transfer files both ways ?
[19:19] <Rob1337> Ok. If there's anyone else around who can help: When in windows 7, or connected with a LAN cable in Ubuntu 12.10, my internet speeds are about 20mb/s. when connected via wireless in 12.10 though, speeds are unstable and average around 1 or 2 mb/s. My laptop in a Gateway NV53a and the wireless card is an Atheros AR9287.
[19:19] <wildwind> Sivik: then ffmpeg or mencoder or avidemux (GUI). It's all using ffmpeg lib
[19:20] <wildwind> lurk1: quantal?
[19:20] <lurk1> wildwind: what does this mean? i have ubuntu 12.10
[19:20] <emx> Rob1337, how far are you from your access point?
[19:21] <wildwind> lurk1: It is Quantal Quetzal
[19:21] <Rob1337> Not sure exactly, I live in a basement apartment and the landlord upstairs provides the internet. I get the full 20 mb/s with wireless in windows 7 though, so I'm pretty sure the problem is with Ubuntu, not the connection itself.
[19:22] <lurk1> wildwind: ok, so what can i do? A shortcut, that should change to dekstop Nr. 5 and up does not work. Where can I add Desktops?
[19:22] <talis62> hello everyone!
[19:22] <llutz> roasted: did you add that line to the _end_ of the sudoers-file?
[19:23] <lurk1> hej talis62!
[19:23] <talis62> hey lurk1
[19:23] <wildwind> lurk1: There are little settings (for simplicity). Install compizconfig-settings-manager but use it with caution.
[19:23] <myhero> llutz: escott wildwind how to connect 2 laptops using router and transfer files both ways ?
[19:24] <prashant_123456> how to change splash screen in ubuntu 12.04
[19:24] <lurk1> ok, thx wildwind! i'll try
[19:24] <escott> myhero, why would the router come into it?
[19:24] <llutz> myhero: samba, nfs, sshfs, sftp, scp, ftp, ftps, netcat, ....
[19:24] <phobosz> Noone has an idea for me?
[19:25] <myhero> llutz: means server/client model ?? or there is any other way ?
[19:25] <ElixirVitae> Hi~
[19:25] <Rob1337> k, i'm out for now. i'll see if askubuntu or anyone else here has any ideas in a little bit.
[19:26] <myhero> escott: i have a wifi router now but previously i had a router with 1 usb and 1 eth port and may times i had big files to transfer found myself helpless in doing so with router :(
[19:26] <ecart> seednode
[19:26] <ecart> hello

[19:28] <ecart> o.o
[19:28] <yhw> Hello YBook
[19:28] <ecart> emx yes, you can!
[19:29] <myhero> how to print current session ? or save it ?

[19:30] <wildwind> myhero: try Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, paste to gedit
[19:30] <myhero> wildwind: any command ?
[19:30] <Freeaqingme> hi. I'm trying to configure dhcp + ddns (through bind9). Problem I have is that a clients hostname is clientname.vlan.example.com, and the dns entry added is clientname.vlan.example.com.example.com , How can I prevent the entire fqdn getting prefixed?
[19:31] <emx> Viralfrost, thanks
[19:31] <wildwind> myhero: are you in xchat?
[19:32] <myhero> wildwind: i generally use irssi but currently i m on webchat in firefox
[19:32] <wildwind> well firefox can print and save
[19:32] <myhero> i tried but its only printing page but not text witnin
[19:33] <myhero> within*

[19:34] <myhero> thats manual....anyways np
[19:34] <emx> Viralfrost, is the package installed at a special path or is it integrated in the system like any other package? can i remove it again? do i need the original .deb file for that?
[19:34] <prawnsalad> myhero: which webchat are you using?
[19:35] <myhero> prawnsalad: webchat.freenode.net in firefox
[19:36] <myhero> wildwind: wifi is not working on any versions of ubuntu......HP Pavilion G6 series laptop with Broadcom wifi card
[19:36] <Viralfrost> emx, it should be installed in the regular system information /usr/bin or /usr/sbin i think, not sure about removing it, probably can do it from synaptic?
[19:37] <myhero> wildwind: i mean i have tested it on 11.10 12.04 12.04.1 and 12.10 but its working fine in win7
[19:38] <IdleOne> !broadcom | myhero
[19:38] <myhero> IdleOne: yea BCM 4313 i think so
[19:39] <IdleOne> myhero: follow that link, it should explain how to proceed

[19:44] <aaas> is there an nfs browser/ commandthat can browse the network  I just want to be able to see what servers have shares using 'nfs://' sort of like how xbmc does it
[19:45] <bekks> aaas: No, there isnt.
[19:45] <aaas> bekks any idea how xbmc does it?
[19:46] <bekks> aaas: I never used xbmc.
[19:46] <aaas> bekks well or natilus or any of the other file managers
[19:47] <bekks> aaas: You could try connecting to each server, and analyse trhe RPC messages.
[19:48] <aaas> bekks yeah there has to be an easier way... all the file managers have this feature it would be strange to have have a cli way of doing it
[19:48] <bekks> aaas: There is no easier way, since NFSdoes not advertise itself.
[19:49] <aaas> bekks hmmm... yeah maybe it would take a script, but it must be possible
[19:49] <bekks> aaas: Itr is possible, but not with a predefined command.
[19:50] <Macuser> Does Ubuntu come pre-installed with the Java JDK and JRE?
[19:50] <aaas> bekks not even with a long one? ;)
[19:50] <bekks> aaas: Nope. Only with a self-written script :)
[19:52] <Phaba> hello guys, im wondering what logging system i can use to try and figure out why i get random lags on ubuntu, generally its smooth but its gets laggy wondering if its a specific library or function call or a specific application or my general env
[19:53] <lorenx> hi all. i have a custom kernel running and i've just install the nvidia-current package. but apt-get gives me this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419541
[19:54] <lorenx> can someone give me an hint to investigate please?
[19:54] <escott> Phaba, what apps are you using when it starts to lag
[19:54] <wildwind> Phaba: video driver is the problem,  most frequently
[19:54] <bekks> lorenx: I cant see an error in your paste.
[19:55] <lorenx> bekks: lines 37 and 38 ;)
[19:55] <bekks> lorenx: Ah. I got it. Minimal headers are not enough.
[19:55] <Phaba> escott, nothing in particular perhaps chronium, but could be switching between any 2 programs or browsing folders, anything really. wildwind, what can be done about it?? i have the vendor driver
[19:55] <lorenx> bekks: excuse me, could you explin me better please? :)
[19:55] <bekks> lorenx: Seems like you do not have a full set of kernel headers.
[19:55] <escott> Phaba, next time check the output of "free -m" and see if you are using swap
[19:56] <Phaba> i am
[19:56] <lorenx> bekks: i don't know, i've just compiled my custom kernel...
[19:56] <Phaba> i have small ram anyway but my swap isnt full
[19:56] <lorenx> what do i need more
[19:56] <Phaba> 1gb ram, swap is same
[19:57] <heoyea> MeanEYE: fresh install, humm hope u learn ur lesson lols
[19:57] <Phaba> but ram is like 90% used, swap is 60
[19:57] <escott> Phaba, when you alt-tab the first application has to be written to disk so the second can be read back to ram. that will introduce a lag. go spend $25 to buy yourself some more ram
[19:58] <Phaba> escott, okay makes sense, ty
[19:58] <asido> any danish people here? what does "sikkehed" means? :)
[19:59] <Phaba> escott, is there anything that will cause ubuntu to progressively slow down?
[20:01] <escott> Phaba, a memory leak will slowly fill the memory causing more and more time to be spent swapping stuff out
[20:02] <Phaba> how would i find it? i have valgrind
[20:02] <escott> Phaba, valgrind program... but I would not attempt that on an underpowered system
[20:03] <lorenx> bekks: do i just need to pass kernel_headers too to make-kpkg?
[20:05] <DrGrov> Evening. I am running 10.04 and experiencing some strange icon issues with KDE 4.x. It seems like the icons do not change completely in every program even though I am using the default KDE icons pack.
[20:05] <DrGrov> I changed the icons various times and tried again but always the same issue. Especially looks strange within LibreOffice, makes it very hard to see anything.
[20:05] <Phaba> escott, yeh, no; i wouldnt know where to start with valgrind, ill just use system monitor to close processes with high ram usage. out of curiosity, would i have to valgrind everything in my ps aux output??
[20:05] <Phaba> to find out if some app / daemon has a memory leak
[20:06] <escott> Phaba, running valgrind on everything is going to be a mess
[20:06] <trism> lorenx: packages from make-kpkg are a bit strange in that they will create links to the source directory unless it is not present when the kernel is installed, so if you built the image/header packages, installed them and then removed the source directory you might have trouble
[20:06] <escott> Phaba, your system has too little ram. just buy some more
[20:07] <trism> lorenx: or the problem I often have is that I build the kernel on a separate partition that may not be mounted when nvidia builds the module
[20:07] <Phaba> okay, i plan on upgrading to some serious hardware soon but im just curious as how i'd find if i am currently running something with a memory leak, i suppose eventually it'll kill any PC
[20:07] <DrGrov> My second question is that is how do I change the various official repos of 10.04 to some international ones? Seems like the Finnish ones are down and I can not get any updates. Any easy way to keep a good sources list?
[20:07] <yeats> Phaba: you should try using Xubuntu/Lubuntu IMHO
[20:08] <Phaba> i have lubuntu
[20:08] <yeats> Phaba: oh - you're using lubuntu now?
[20:08] <Phaba> and gnome 2d
[20:08] <yeats> Phaba: 1GB should be fine for lubuntu
[20:08] <Phaba> right now im on unity but on lubuntu its the same, i think chronium just steals to much ram
[20:09] <escott> Phaba, programs under valgrind are substantially slower. painfully slower. its not something you just run a program with
[20:09] <Phaba> either that or i have a memory leak, i rarely re-boot
[20:09] <lorenx> trism: i'm not sure to be able to follow you :D ... i'm just going to try something... thanks ;)
[20:09] <Phaba> escott, i was wondering if it were possible to run each program in series not concurrent
[20:10] <Phaba> so i could just tick them off 1 by 1
[20:10] <MadsRC> Hi guys! I ran into some wierd permission problem. I've got 2 disks pooled into one directory with aufs in say /mnt/storage. But for some reason I can't create new files in it, unless I'm root... Permissions for /mnt/storage is 770 (rwxrwx---) myuser users
[20:10] <MadsRC> Can anyone help me with that?
[20:10] <trism> lorenx: oh wait, I know what the problem is, that was 295 nvidia right? (I lost the pastebin)
[20:10] <yeats> Phaba: 1) open a terminal and type 'top' 2) open each program you normally use in turn and check top for memory use/swapping
[20:11] <trism> lorenx: you need to get 304.xx from the x-updates ppa (or elsewhere) if you want to use a 3.5 kernel
[20:11] <escott> MadsRC, what does "touch /mnt/storage" say
[20:11] <MadsRC> escott, that gives no output
[20:12] <trism> lorenx: also of note, linux-lts-backport-quantal is in 12.04 already so you may not need to build your own if you can use the default config
[20:12] <escott> MadsRC, then it created the fie
[20:12] <Phaba> yeats, cheers, is there a way to get 'top' to order in ram usage instead of cpu?
[20:12] <wildwind> DrGrov: show your current sources.list
[20:12] <escott> MadsRC, sorry "touch /mnt/Storage/test"
[20:12] <MadsRC> Sorry, I waswrong, The permission error is within a directory in /mnt/storage, say /mnt/storage/deluge
[20:13] <MadsRC> touch /mnt/storage/deluge returns apermission error

[20:13] <wildwind> Phaba: Shift+'>'
[20:13] <Phaba> i dont even program in ruby, something is calling it alot??

[20:14] <notk0> hello
[20:14] <notk0> I have installed ncurses but there is no shared libary
[20:14] <notk0> that is found
[20:14] <escott> MadsRC, verify that your user is in that group with "groups"
[20:14] <notk0> libncurses.so.5 => not found
[20:14] <notk0> from ldd
[20:14] <Phaba> wildwind, thanks, .ruby.bin is using the most though ive never used it personally, chrome is second with 2 threads running 7% each which is standard i guess
[20:14] <wildwind> Phaba: or better Shift+'<' 4 times, if your'e looking for mem leaks
[20:14] <MadsRC> what is "groups" supposed to output?
[20:15] <escott> MadsRC, the groups you are a member of
[20:16] <MadsRC> doesn't output thegroup, though /etc/group lists me as being in it
[20:16] <escott> MadsRC, when did you add yourself to the group and how
[20:16] <MadsRC> 10 minutesago, with usermod something... lemme find the string
[20:17] <escott> MadsRC, logout and log back in
[20:17] <MadsRC> now it showsthe right groups!
[20:17] <escott> MadsRC, group membership and environment variables often take a logout
[20:20] <MadsRC> escott, Thank you :) Now I just need to get deluge to accept me adding the ubuntu torrent... For some reason it gives permission error when adding it, even though it is owner of the whole /mnt/storage/deluge/ folder. Maybe the deluge user just need to login and logout
[20:21] <escott> MadsRC, i bet you own the file in the deluge folder. you need to setgid on the deluge folder
[20:21] <MadsRC> escott, I use the deluge webui to add the ubuntu torrent, so it should be owned by the deluge user
[20:24] <Shirakawasuna> I'm running into an issue with backlight brightness on a new laptop - lenovo ideapad s300. It uses Intel GMA graphics, specifically '2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)' (intel i915). My issue is this: I can't turn the brightness up to the max that I can in windows 8 - it hits ~half max brightness. In /sys/driver/backlight/acpi_0 max_brightness and brightness are both 15 and it's not a
[20:24] <Shirakawasuna>  matter of hotkeys. It just doesn't, by default, make it possible to turn the brightness up high enough.
[20:25] <Shirakawasuna> Any ideas on how to work around this? I'm upgrading the kernel right now (default updates) and have been looking at the tweaks here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight
[20:25] <Shirakawasuna> This is a gift laptop for a relative and I want it to be properly-ubuntuified in advance
[20:26] <escott> Shirakawasuna, the kernel doesnt think it can go any higher
[20:27] <Shirakawasuna> yeah
[20:28] <Shirakawasuna> my plan of attack was to look for BIOS updates just in case (none available), upgrade the kernel (in progress), and mess with those grub kernel settings suggested on the arch wiki
[20:28] <escott> Shirakawasuna, its a problem with the acpi tables
[20:29] <DrGrov> wildwind: Yes, will do. Sorry for taking quite some time to answer.
[20:30] <Shirakawasuna> hmm

[20:31] <TwistTheNeil> hi, if i'm going to securely erase my hdd, would anyone suggest /dev/zero or shred ? or a combo ?
[20:31] <Shirakawasuna> escott: is there a general approach for troubleshooting that?
[20:31] <Frederick> guys ive installed ubuntu in a vmware with 1 gb ram but obviusly with the default window manager it is slow as hell do you tihnk 2gb ram can maje the vm oki?>
[20:31] <escott> Shirakawasuna, there are various acpi options that do things like tell the kernel to lie to the bios and claim it is windows etc...
[20:31] <JohnGalt> TwistTheNeil: dban
[20:32] <MadsRC> escott, setgid is done with chown g-s folder right? Doing that, every new file under deluge/ should have the same owner and group right?
[20:32] <JohnGalt> Frederick: no it's about the gfx card emulation, try to enable 3D
[20:32] <TwistTheNeil> how long would it take with dban ?
[20:32] <JohnGalt> TwistTheNeil: days.
[20:32] <JohnGalt> but that's a secure 7x erase which is CIA proof
[20:32] <TwistTheNeil> i'm in university and don't have too much time :(
[20:33] <TwistTheNeil> at most a couple of hours
[20:33] <JohnGalt> you can set dban to do a less intensive secure erase
[20:33] <TwistTheNeil> okay
[20:33] <Frederick> Joah: thanks for the info I will restart virtualbox in some mins and do it
[20:33] <Frederick> JohnGalt: I mean

[20:34] <aksjldlakj> I everyone, I currently run a amd64 and I want to install a .deb package that was built for i386 but it is giving me an error when I do "dpkg -i"...saying that package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) any way around this?
[20:34] <bobweaver> hello there can someone help he with linking some libs ? like I want link /usr/share/qt5/include  to /usr/include/qt5   and I want to link /usr/share/qt5/plugins -> ../../lib/qt5/plugins  thanks
[20:34] <JohnGalt> aksjldlakj: download the x64 version
[20:35] <aksjldlakj> JohnGalt: there is only the i386 verison
[20:35] <Shirakawasuna> escott: got it. So something like acpi_osi=<whatever I find>?
[20:35] <JohnGalt> try to build a custom .deb package from source
[20:35] <TwistTheNeil> JohnGalt, if i dban my disk with a lower secure setting and then /dev/zero it, is that okay?
[20:36] <aksjldlakj> It's proprietary...it's the Steam client for linux
[20:36] <JohnGalt> TwistTheNeil: it won't be CIA proof but i guess you'll be fine
[20:36] <TwistTheNeil> well i don't have anything to be afraid of the cia :D
[20:36] <TwistTheNeil> thanks JohnGalt!
[20:36] <JohnGalt> yw
[20:39] <escott> MadsRC, g+s
[20:39] <escott> Shirakawasuna, im not sure what the actual kernel commands are. should be lots of debugging acpi tutorials out there
[20:40] <JohnGalt> aksjldlakj: Valve will release a x64 bit build later
[20:40] <JohnGalt> aksjldlakj: it's on their blog http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/
[20:40] <aksjldlakj> JohnGalt: ah ok...thanks

[20:42] <ChogyDan> any suggestions on how to vlog with a webcam to youtube?  I don't really know where to start (the webcam does work, fwiw)
[20:43] <wildwind> DrGrov: yes show it
[20:43] <MadsRC> escott, Thank you, that did the setgid right. But deluge still gives me a permission error when I add the ubuntu torrent
[20:44] <escott> MadsRC, the setgid only affects new files
[20:44] <DrGrov> wildwind: I gave you the link to you. I will also put the error output on paste.ubuntu.com

[20:45] <bjrohan> I am in the market for a new laptop in the next month or so. Where is the best place to get recommendations for systems that best work with Ubuntu. My plan is to get the laptop wipe off Windoze and install Ubuntu
[20:45] <MadsRC> escott, Yes I know, but adding the torrent through the webui uploads the file, and then I get a permission error in /mnt/deluge/incomplete/torrentname - That it can't access the torrent file. Which is a new file.
[20:45] <escott> MadsRC, what are the permissions of that file
[20:46] <MadsRC> escott, The uploaded file, or the file that it gives a permission error on?
[20:46] <escott> MadsRC, the one with the permission error
[20:46] <MadsRC> It doesn't exist. When I go to the folder in the terminal and do a ls -a there's nothing there
[20:47] <wildwind> DrGrov: select other country in Application sources setup
[20:47] <escott> MadsRC, what are the permissions on its parent then
[20:47] <DrGrov> wildwind: Does that change anything with my 3rd party enabled repos?
[20:48] <morfeo_81> hi
[20:48] <MadsRC> The incomplete folder has rwxrwxr-w deluge deluge
[20:48] <wildwind> DrGrov: no it shouldn't. just official ones
[20:48] <DrGrov> wildwind: Okay, I will test it out now.
[20:49] <MadsRC> escott, The incomplete folder has rwxrwxr-w deluge deluge
[20:49] <morfeo_81> Which is the difference to create new wireless hot spot using "connecnt to new wireles" or use method from system setting and use network...? why if use the second one gave the right ip to a element and the other no?
[20:49] <MadsRC> escott, and "groups deluge" gives "deluge : deluge" So user deluge is part of group deluge
[20:51] <morfeo_81> how can create simple hot spot to connect from other device to my localhost server using wireles?
[20:52] <DrGrov> wildwind: Thanks, that did the trick :)
[20:52] <wildwind> glad to help
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> !ics | morfeo_81
[20:55] <morfeo_81> thanks
[20:55] <Shirakawasuna> escott: would it make sense for this to be related to me using 'legacy' in the BIOS settings, rather than the default UEFI?
[20:56] <morfeo_81> how can recover data from hard drive corrupted?
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> morfeo_81: use your backups
[20:56] <morfeo_81> I try to use photec but prepare file .gpl
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> morfeo_81: or try foremost in liveCD
unfortunately I don't have backup...The  backup lost
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> morfeo_81: I suggest you review your backup regime, its not very effective

[21:01] <abdostar> bazhang: thank you,
[21:03] <DrGrov> wildwind: You do not by any chance have any solution to my KDE icon issues? :)
[21:04] <lorenx> trism: i've just compile the new 3.6.9 kernel... do i need nvidia 304.xx anyway?
[21:04] <lorenx> trism: and what is the linux-lts-backport-quantal thing? :P
[21:05] <trism> lorenx: yes, 295 doesn't build with 3.5+
[21:05] <lorenx> but i have to compile the linux-headers.deb right?
[21:06] <trism> lorenx: if you used make-kpkg you only need kernel_image since it will use the kernel source directory as the headers (assuming you don't delete the source after the build)
[21:06] <jeroen_> is this a developer channel or also for support?
[21:07] <jrib> jeroen_: it's dedicated to support
[21:07] <lorenx> trism: fine. but is the order important? i mean, should i first build the kernel and that install nvidia-304.xx or the opposite?
[21:07] <lorenx> *then
[21:07] <jeroen_> good, nice, since I have some problems ..... ;)
[21:08] <jeroen_> lets see, where shall I start, I have a new Dell all in one, xps 2710...
[21:08] <trism> lorenx: dkms should rebuilt the module either way, but you can check: dkms status; afterwards to see
[21:09] <jeroen_> for some reason the installer doesn't recognize the already installed Windows 8. Is that a know issue?
[21:09] <lorenx> trism: so the error here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419541/ is due only to the incompatible version right?
[21:09] <csilk> Hi, It seems that I have no keyboard input in Virtual box on the guest OS's install screen. Any ideas?
[21:10] <csilk> http://askubuntu.com/questions/226592/no-keyboard-input-in-virtualbox-4-1
[21:10] <trism> lorenx: that is my guess, I know that I had to upgrade nvidia-current when I started using the lts-backport-quantal kernel (you could check make.log as suggested, but unfortunately the output is usually terrible for nvidia, so probably not helpful)
[21:10] <jeroen_> and likely related.. the sd card cache is now disabled. I needed to remove the raid support to install ubuntu in the first place..
[21:10] <lorenx> trism: ok, thanks a lot for your help ;) i'm going to try...

[21:12] <livingdaylight> usr13, hi there
[21:13] <elena-IK> can anyone explain what exactly the sshfs option sshfs_sync "synchronous writes" does?
[21:13] <bazhang> ShadowofReason, more of a test run/trial. not a true dual boot
[21:14] <guntbert> !enter | jeroen_ it easier to see what you need
[21:14] <bazhang> elena-IK, what does manpages.ubuntu.com say about that
[21:16] <elena-IK> bazhang: man says "synchronous writes" and nothing more. that is why I'm asking. manpages.ubuntu.com says timeout
[21:16] <jeroen_> ubutto: sorry I have a 27" screen now, it is one line here..
[21:16] <bazhang> jeroen_, ubottu is a bot
[21:17] <guntbert> jeroen_: no, you misunderstood - say what you have to say in one "take" - if you make several separate statements it is harder to follow

[21:19] <ShayanneBanana> shanel12333
[21:20] <jeroen_> guntbert: indeed, personally I don't like the long lines with multiple questions in one sentence..
[21:20] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/sshfs.1.html   works fine here elena-IK
[21:21] <bazhang> jeroen_, its impossible to read the way you put it
[21:21] <guntbert> jeroen_: in that case stick to one problem at a time :)
[21:21] <lorenx> trism: excuse me, one last thing... "apt-cache search nvidia-current" gives me nvidia-experimental-304 and nvidia-experimental-310 also... can i safely install one of them?
[21:22] <elena-IK> bazhang: works here now to. but it doesn't say more than "synchronous writes", either :)
[21:23] <jeroen_> yes let's do one at a time: first problem, Windows 8 doesn't boot anymore
[21:24] <jeroen_> since the installer didn't recognize it...
[21:24] <jeroen_> Is that common or just my setup?
[21:25] <bazhang> jeroen_, please STOP with the enter key
[21:25] <ShadowofReason> @bazhang .. so i still have to install it the old fashion way?
[21:25] <bazhang> ShadowofReason, for a true dual boot? Yes
[21:26] <ShadowofReason> @bazhang . okay , will do it.

[21:29] <csilk> http://askubuntu.com/questions/226592/no-keyboard-input-in-virtualbox-4-1
[21:29] <ElixirVitae> From what I understand, KDE comes with its own "motherload"
[21:29] <bazhang> pix3l, thats just not necessary nor helpful advice
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> csilk: did you enable keyboard in the options of the virtual system?
[21:29] <pix3l> ok, I'm out
[21:29] <SushiDude> Is there anyway I can check if I have something installed from backports?
[21:29] <ElixirVitae> I want to try and decide.
[21:30] <csilk> ActionParsnip, I don't see a setting for the keyboard?
[21:30] <csilk> ActionParsnip, Are you talking about a setting in virtualbox?
[21:30] <lorenx> trism: excuse me, one last thing... "apt-cache search nvidia-current" gives me nvidia-experimental-304 and nvidia-experimental-310 also... can i safely install one of them?
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> csilk: yes, you'll need to power it off to make changes
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> csilk: also try left ctrl or somesuch
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> csilk: also, ask in #vbox
[21:32] <Shanel12333> who wants o talk
[21:32] <csilk> ActionParsnip, I can't find the setting you're refering too. Also, the keyboard works at the first screen that virtualbox shows (press F12 for boot options) but then stops working on the install screen of the guest OS
[21:32] <trism> lorenx: you can, absolutely
[21:32] <ShayanneBanana> who would like to talk
[21:33] <trism> lorenx: if you have any others installed I would purge those first
[21:33] <bazhang> !ot | ShayanneBanana
[21:33] <lorenx> trism: yes, i purged nvidia-current. which one would you suggest, 304 or 310?
[21:34] <NiaM> !help
[21:34] <abdostar> could someone help me to install this conky theme (as I am new) http://conky.pitstop.free.fr/wiki/index.php5?title=File:11-2-mrpeachy-2.jpg
[21:35] <bazhang> abdostar, simply use the conky guide I gave you? did you read it at all?
[21:35] <trism> lorenx: haven't tried 310 yet myself, I am using 304.64 from x-updates ppa, (but I was using 304.48 (which is nvidia-experimental-304) previously without issues)
[21:35] <abdostar> bazhang: yes I did, but this file seems different from what was explained, or at least that what seems to me
[21:35] <lorenx> trism: let's live on the edge, let's try the 310 one ;) thanks!

[21:39] <Ray2> I have Ubuntu-10.04 installed on sda1 and another o/s on sdb5...I want to open an application in sdb5..the aplication is under the/opt folder and open the one that is in sda1...what do i need to do to open the sdb5 application from ubuntu ??
[21:40] <phunyguy_t430s> Ray2, can probably chroot with some good documentation.
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Ray2: mount it
[21:41] <phunyguy_t430s> ActionParsnip, the app may require different libs
[21:41] <phunyguy_t430s> he said it's a different OS.
[21:43] <phunyguy_t430s> chroot is fairly easy, you just create a directory to use as new /, then mount /dev/sdb5 there, mount /proc and /dev there as well, then chroot.
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy_t430s: if its a linux app then it may work, you can install a few apps in the /opt folder
[21:44] <phunyguy_t430s> perhaps, but if it doesn't.. it's not very hard to chroot to that env.
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> phunyguy_t430s: both ways have pros and cons
[21:44] <malucious> hello. if i launch a pdf from the unity dash I get vlc instead of evince. any ideas?
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> malucious: right click the file and select to open with evince, set the OS to remember the association
[21:46] <Ray2> ActionParsnip...I mount the sda5 o/s and can open other folders from that o/s but /opt opens the folder from ubuntu...Its easier  just to switch o/s rather than use chroot.
[21:48] <dr_willis> Ray2:  it would be /media/mountpoint/opt   not /opt
[21:48] <malucious> ActionParsnip, it's already set to use evince with nautilus. and it works properly from there. but the unity file lens launches it differently
[21:49] <Guest92382> How do you mount a .dd image?
[21:49] <Guest92382> to see its contents?
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: use mount
[21:50] <cl0neman1> do commands like 'top' and 'ps' truncate usernames and process names that are too long? how to fix?
[21:50] <Guest92382> actionparsnip: mounty doesn't work
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: mount, not mounty
[21:52] <Guest92382> ActionParsnip: used both syntax for a partition image and a drive image and neither worked
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file /media/iso
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: use the 'file' command to see what the file is
[21:53] <Jordan_U> Guest92382: How was the image created?
[21:54] <Guest92382> Jordan_U: Using testdisk
[21:54] <malkauns> is there any way to get rid of the unity grab handles when u do an accidental 3-finger swipe??
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: then you can loop mount it as I gave above
[21:55] <livingdaylight> i can see /dev/sdb but don't know how to access it
[21:55] <Guest92382> ActionParsnip: whenever I use the first line of syntax you showed me earlier, when I press enter, it goes blank. It doesn't even ask for my password
[21:56] <Jordan_U> Guest92382: That means that it worked.
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: in linux, no news is good news
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: you don't get an 'ok' after each command, it'd be redundant
[21:57] <Guest92382> ActionParsnip: My point is, it doesn't do anything at all
[21:57] <MeanEYE> heoyea: no lesson. Just weirdness. Didn't even find out what happened.
[21:57] <livingdaylight> can someone help me cd to external hd in command line so i can back up and reinstall, please?
[21:58] <Guest92382> Is test disk unreliable for making images?
[21:59] <Guest92382> Is that why it's not mounting for me?
[21:59] <lorenx> i installed nvidia-experimental-310 but, rebooting, i still have nouveau as the video driver, should i do something else?
[21:59] <Jim_> I have a /boot partion that is full with Logical volumes using the rest of the single drive system, how can I expand the boot partition without destroying data on the logical volumes?

[22:00] <heoyea> MeanEYE: dont mess with the matrix
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: you'll need to mount the partition on the drive
[22:00] <Guest92382> Okay I got it working. Can you mount something incorrectly and mess up the image file?
[22:01] <mandrix> lorenx: did you install it through Software Sources -> Additional Drivers?
[22:01] <lorenx> mandrix: no, apt-get form command line
[22:01] <Guest65520> Has anyone successfully used a USB 3.0 dock on Ubuntu?
[22:01] <Guest92382> because there are a lot of options here, and I'm going to guess how I need to mount it if there are no repercussions
[22:01] <mandrix> lorenx: I tried doing it that way and it never worked out; I couldn't disable nouveau. I got it working by going through Software Sources
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: if you mount it read only then it's safe :)
[22:02] <lorenx> mandrix: maybe i should "ban" the driver
[22:02] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ?
[22:02] <escott> Jim_, not going to be easy. why not just uninstall old kernels from /boot
[22:02] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, I did that and then?
[22:03] <mandrix> lorenx: I tried blacklisting, and that didn't work either. I have no idea why not
[22:03] <Guest92382> ActionParsnip: That makes sense. Though it isn't giving me an option to 'read only'
[22:03] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, I still can not cd to /dev/sdb or /sdb1 coz its not a folder or something
[22:03] <lorenx> mandrix: ok...
[22:03] <lorenx> trism: excuse me but do you have an hint for this too?
[22:03] <MeanEYE> heoyea: I guess. I still don't like the fact I am clueless about what happened.
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Guest92382: it'll be read only by default if memory serves
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: yes, you need to mount sdb1 then you cna cd to the mount point. You cannot access block devices from /dev
[22:04] <Guest92382> ActionParsnip: does this look like the right place to you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419821/
[22:04] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, how do i cd to the mount point?
[22:04] <mandrix> lorenx: You're free to try it that way first, but if it doesn't end up working, just changing the driver in Ubuntu's Additional Drivers will install the 310 driver automatically and turn off nouveau
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: you set the mount point when you mount it
[22:05] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, are you saying i should not, or, cannot cd /dev/sdb1 ?
[22:05] <Jim_> escott:Thanks for the response....I am not a guru, rather a newbie, can you assist with removing of the old kernals? I take it from this that we would be removing older OS elements that are no longer in use?
[22:06] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, oh, ok? for example?
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: 1. You missed the space after the word 'loop'  and  2. You never told it where to mount it, so how can it possibly mount it when you don't tell it whree...
[22:07] <escott> Jim_, open up a terminal (and maximize it) then run <<dpkg -l "*linux-image*">> anything installed has a "ii" on the left column. you can find the old versions and <<sudo apt-get remove [linux-image-#####-generic]
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: sudo mkdif /media/ios; sudo mount -o loop ~image2.dd /media/iso
[22:07] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, when i am in X plugging in external device just pops up
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: sudo mkdif /media/ios; sudo mount -o loop ~/image2.dd /media/iso
[22:07] <livingdaylight> i missed the word 'loop' ?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: yes, that is handled by udev, back in the day devices had to be manually mounted
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: read my second command, then read yours. Note the spaceing
[22:08] <csilk> Still no luck with the virtualbox issue
[22:08] <zvacet> JIm_: easier way is to remove kernels from synaptic
[22:08] <Scunizi> csilk: I just logged in.. what issue are you having?
[22:08] <lorenx> mandrix: the installation itself created a nvidia-experimental-310_hybrid.conf to blacklist nouveau
[22:08] <Jim_> escott: Thank you, I have to go to the other machine to perform, will return.
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> csilk: did you ask in #vnox ?
[22:08] <sasser> csilk, try with vmware workstation
[22:08] <csilk> Scunizi, http://askubuntu.com/questions/226592/no-keyboard-input-in-virtualbox-4-1
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> csilk: did you ask in #vbox ?  (typo)
[22:08] <csilk> ActionParsnip, yeah I did, upgrade was the suggestion
[22:09] <bjrohan> Can anyone recommend a site that goes over what new laptops Ubuntu will run on?
[22:09] <csilk> Which I did and still have the same issue
[22:09] <lorenx> mandrix: and a nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf too
[22:09] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, sorry, I'm not clear what to do. Do I replace words in that command to match mine or do I copy verbatim?
[22:09] <mandrix> lorenx: did it work? Mine created that as well, but nouveau was still being used
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: copy my command and run it, I assume the file is in the root of your home folder
[22:09] <ViaNocturna85> bjrohan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware
[22:10] <demona> LF assist on installing a list of packages without interfering with current ones
[22:10] <Scunizi> csilk: although not supported in here.. I've always installed the version downloadable direct from vBox.. I've been using it for years.  Although the latest stable I'm having issues installing. You could try that or the previous version..
[22:10] <livingdaylight> ActionParsnip, the 'file' ?
[22:10] <escott> !hcl | bjrohan
[22:10] <lavoro92> hi
[22:10] <bjrohan> thank you escott
[22:11] <Scunizi> csilk: I also think they have a PPA that you can use with your package manager of choice.
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop ~/image2.dd /media/iso
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> livingdaylight: that
[22:11] <myst3rious> for the life of me I can't get my wireless adapter to connect to the wireless network and stay connected. it just drops for no reason at all. and now it doesn't want to reconnect.
[22:11] <csilk> Scunizi, I've tried the one in the ubuntu repo (4.1) and the one straight from the Oracle ppa (4.2). Both have the same issue
[22:12] <Scunizi> csilk: hummm.. and did you install the guest additions? or was that impossible because of the lack of keyboard?
[22:12] <lavoro92> i have one problem :S i use ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i'm trying to use the linux api but the compiler can't find module.h
[22:12] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip, you mixed up  Guest92382 + image.dd and livingdaylight + /dev/sdb/
[22:12] <myst3rious> it WORKS, but it just won't connect. it keeps asking for a password (the network password which is RIGHT) and only connects sometimes.
[22:12] <lavoro92> ?
[22:12] <livingdaylight> OerHeks, yes, I think so; hence, I@m confused
[22:12] <myst3rious> how can I brute force it into working all the time?
[22:12] <Guest92382> oerheks: I wanted to mount the image though, not a physical drive
[22:13] <myst3rious> IPv6 is disabled, so that's not the problem (but it works anyway)
[22:13] <lorenx> mandrix: no, did not work
[22:14] <trism> lorenx: did you check to verify the driver built? what is: dkms status;
[22:14] <ViaNocturna85> does anyone know if that Gwibber bug that notifies you of all tweets although you have set not to been fixed?
[22:14] <csilk> Scunizi, I lose the keyboard on the install screen of the guest OS
[22:14] <mandrix> lorenx: Have you looked in Software Sources to see what Ubuntu thinks it's using as a driver?
[22:14] <OerHeks> Guest92382, see previous comments from ActionParsnip about mount + loop
[22:15] <gh0zt> Is Ubuntu 10.04 still going to be supported for a while?  Is it not recommended to use this version?  I actually like this version of gnome better than the one that runs on 11.x and 12.x.  Those make my system seem more bloated, too.  This is running on a slightly older thinkpad laptop.
[22:15] <lorenx> mandrix: dkms status says "nvidia-experimental-310, 310.14, 3.5.3-minimal, x86_64: installed"
[22:15] <Scunizi> csilk: I just found reference to this as a solution.. sudo apt-get install scim-bridge-client-qt  .. got it from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=825606
[22:15] <csilk> Scunizi, that package isn't found. I think that's for a much older version of Ubuntu
[22:16] <Scunizi> csilk: I thought it might be too easy :(
[22:17] <livingdaylight> OerHeks, so, what is the correct command?
[22:17] <Scunizi> csilk: sorry .. I'm out of ideas except those already posed.. #vbox
[22:17] <OerHeks> livingdaylight, normally a mounted /dev/sdb1/ will show up in /media/ if i recall correct
[22:17] <myst3rious> someone help please my wireless adapter isn't working
[22:17] <lorenx> mandrix: i'll go on tomorrow i guess, thanks ;)
[22:18] <csilk> Scunizi, hmm thanks
[22:18] <mandrix> lorenx: Alright. Maybe try the non-experimental, that's what I'm using and what finally worked
[22:18] <Jim_> esott: ran commands and found about 6 kernals not in use. tried to remove but get errors with Device is Full Error exit status 1
[22:21] <mandrix> I have a question about boot logging. I turned it on in bootlogd, but it's not logging all the errors I see when booting Ubuntu
[22:22] <Jim_> escott: ran commands and found about 6 kernals not in use. Tried to remove but get errors with device is full. Error exit status 1
[22:22] <esing> Hello
[22:23] <tenpackpanther> hey all im having errors trying to install mysqlserver
[22:23] <guntbert> tenpackpanther: how did you try to install it?
[22:23] <jrib> tenpackpanther: pastebin them (and your command)
[22:23] <cjaredrun> ^
[22:23] <tenpackpanther> ssh
[22:23] <tenpackpanther> one sec
[22:24] <whereami> On Quantal, does Ubuntu not install symlinks for the latest kernel version in /boot? Is there a way I can get them back?
[22:24] <jrib> Jim_: free up some space and try again?
[22:24] <esing> I have Ubuntu and Windows installed on the same HDD, can I delete the WIndows partition and use it for the /home folder of the Ubuntu or do I have to reinstall Ubuntu to get that to work?
[22:25] <escott> Jim_, odd that you would get a device full on a remove. One thing you could do is to manually remove a file from /boot (best way would be to "sudo mv /boot/initrd.OLD_VERSION.generic /root") thereby freeing up space to apt-get remove one of the kernels then put it back with "sudo mv /root/initrd.* /boot"
[22:25] <tenpackpanther> http://pastebin.com/YLcEHuix
[22:26] <jrib> tenpackpanther: you pasted into your terminal?
[22:26] <tenpackpanther> no, i right clicked in an attempt to copy in putty
[22:26] <tenpackpanther> forgot that that doesnt work
[22:27] <jrib> tenpackpanther: so you have no idea why this would be happening?
[22:27] <jrib> tenpackpanther: nothing related to mysql was done?
[22:28] <tenpackpanther> i tried to uninstall it
[22:28] <jrib> tenpackpanther: why?
[22:28] <tenpackpanther> and then reinstall it
[22:28] <jrib> tenpackpanther: why did you try to uninstall it?
[22:28] <tenpackpanther> because when i tried to make it work with phpmyadmin it and view from localhost it didnt work so i figured id try a clean install
[22:29] <jrib> tenpackpanther: why do you say you "tried" to uninstall it?  What happened when you tried and how did you try?
[22:29] <emes> I've been noticing that my compositing is slow. I have an ivy bridge laptop with intel graphics. it seems the intel driver is being used. what else can I check?
[22:30] <tenpackpanther> because if it was uninstalled then i dont think id get an error message as it worked right the first time.  i tried using sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.5
[22:31] <jrib> tenpackpanther: I have to leave so can't follow this through.  But imo you should explain exactly what you've done.  It seems like you uninstalled it and it didn't succeed or something?  Anyway, you should explain.  To fix your issue, figure out if mysql is running now and stop it, then try to reconfigure again.  Good luck.  Others here can help.

[22:37] <Guest92382> bekks: depends on what?
[22:37] <guntbert> bobweaver: thx :)
[22:37] <bobweaver> np guntbert
[22:37] <bekks> Guest92382: On the degree of destruction of your data.
[22:38] <bobweaver> guntbert,  helps to look under /usr/share/applications and grep out sound
[22:38] <Guest92382> bekks: well nothing was overwritten or formatted... so is there a good chance?
[22:38] <bekks> Guest92382: Maybe.
[22:38] <bobweaver> guntbert, then look at the file and see the line that says execute that is what you are looking for. But I am sure that there are other things that work as well
[22:39] <guntbert> bobweaver: good idea - and I'll even look for "power" :-)
[22:39] <Guest92382> bekks: what other factors play a role in unrecoverable data destruction?
[22:39] <davidbowieslefte> hi, I'm trying to use curl, and when I use a query string like .../foo?limit=2&skip=3 in the terminal, whatever is after the & is lost.  Anyone know how to use query strings with curl on the command line?
[22:39] <dante123> 12.10 here.  tried nvidia driver experimental 310 on fresh install.  now boots into lower than usual rez and no unity dash or launcher.  how to get out of this?
[22:40] <bekks> Guest92382: There is no generic answer to your question.
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> dante123: try running:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    and reboot
[22:42] <guntbert> davidbowieslefte: use quotes around the string
[22:42] <Guest92382> bekks: testdisk found 140 gigs of info out of 484 gigs... how could I access the other 348 gigs? try to use undelete in photorec?
[22:43] <bekks> Guest92382: Yes. But there is no guarantee. Why dont you have a backup?
[22:43] <dante123> how to get to terminal when I only got background screen and mouse?
[22:43] <Guest92382> bekks: Or does 140 gigs out of 484 gigs sound about average for the testdisk/photorec recovery software
[22:43] <bekks> Guest92382: Depends on the degree of destruction of the data.
[22:43] <Guest92382> Bekks: I didn't have a HDD big enough to back it all up
[22:43] <guntbert> dante123: try ctrl+alt+t
[22:43] <davidbowieslefte> guntbert: ty
[22:43] <bekks> Guest92382: So basically your data wasnt worth to back it up then.
[22:45] <Guest92382> bekks: No it's not that at all. It means everything. I've just been too tight moneywise to blow a couple hundred on a HDD. I have a new one now and I've learned, but that doesn't matter to me right now. What matters is salvaging as much data as possible
[22:45] <dante123> OK ran it, said it was unable to find file so made a new one

[22:54] <ActionParsnip> dante123: just the package names is useful :)
[22:54] <fuzai> I want all users to default to xfce instead
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> fuzai: it should be part of the session in the DM, you can just add a startup item to the OS to run:  yourmanager --replace    to run the manager of your choice
[22:55] <fuzai> i want to change the defaults so new users don't have to choose everytime

[22:56] <ActionParsnip> fuzai: if you install xubuntu, it will be the only choice.
[22:56] <fuzai> this is part of ltsp too
[22:56] <dante123> do you really mean navidia or is that typos

[22:59] <edheldil__> Hi, anyone has an idea what could block a ttyACM0 device in Ubuntu Quantal?  I have verified that my Teensy board outputs through  serial  over usb on another computer, but when I connect it to 64bit QQ, I am unable to read from the serial port, even though the device opens.
[22:59] <edheldil__> I have tried killing various daemons, (fuser did not report anything), but only after going all the way to init s and reconnecting the device, I was suddenly able to read a line from ttyACM0 - even though cu was unable to do so
[23:00] <dante123> is other a way to start update manager from command line ActionParsnip
[23:00] <edheldil__> it's a fresh install of ubuntu, 64bit
[23:00] <dante123> on 12.10 I can change driver from inside the GUI for update
[23:01] <dante123> but how to get to update
[23:02] <blackshirt> dante123, you can use apt-get to upgrade or aptitude
[23:03] <Fudge> Hi I have a eeepc netbook and gnome3 runs really really slow on it, any suggestions on how to make precise or quantal work better for netbooks?

[23:04] <Fudge> dante123  software center?
[23:05] <dante123> well that might wok but I need to change additional drivers and that can be done from the update settings....gui
[23:06] <OerHeks> additional drivers tru cli = jockey-text ?
[23:06] <edheldil__> dante123:  you assume that it will work even if you change it :)
[23:06] <Fudge> you may be thinking of activating extra repository archives?

[23:07] <Karlo_> I have a shared directory exported by a Windows machine.  On my older Linux box, I import it with smbmount; on the new one, that command doesn't exist.  Does it have a different name?  Do I need to download it first?
[23:07] <DrGrov> Is there some kind of output that I could paste in order to clearly explain the installation issue of LibreOffice on 10.04?
[23:07] <dante123> well, I hope it will. trying now.....
[23:08] <blondielegs> is there anyone who can help me with my ubuntu? i used the program to update the drivers and now my video card doesnt work. its running in low graphics and i dont know how to fix it
[23:08] <bendym> Hi all - can anyone suggest a good place to look for a problem cause here? I have a NAS filer that has a share exported via SMB. I'm using cifs to mount it on my Ubuntu 12.10 server. Until recently, it was working fine - now, the mount command hangs and never returns. The same SMB export mounts just fine on my linux mint laptop. Nothing shows up in the logfiles that I can see.
[23:08] <Fudge> DrGrov  perhaps type, script try the update with apt-get and at the end type exit, then pastebin the typescript text file in the same directory
[23:08] <dante123> blondielegs, I'm in the same boat
[23:09] <blondielegs> crap....
[23:09] <edheldil__> blondielegs:  what card?
[23:09] <blondielegs> how do i find out?
[23:09] <DrGrov> Fudge: I could do perhaps this: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice > text.txt" ?
[23:09] <XMLnewbi> whats the command line for a file search?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> dante123: do you use an optimus system, or is it just the nvidia on it's own?
[23:10] <Fudge> DrGrov  possibly yeah but use script and exit, its easier and you can still type in sudo passwords and answer prompts
[23:10] <Fudge> you could always apt-get install pastebinit and cat typescript | pastebinit then paste us the url
[23:10] <edheldil__> blondielegs:  well were yu trying to set NVidia's proprieatry drivers through that Additional drivers dialog?

[23:11] <ActionParsnip> jv324: what issues are you having?
[23:11] <Karlo_> XMLnewbi: locate PARTIALFILENAME  -or-  find TOPDIR -OPTIONS ARGS ...
[23:11] <jv324> i downloaded the iso and extract it,then run wubi
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> jv324: don'tt extract the file
[23:12] <dante123> what is command to reconfigure x
[23:12] <Karlo_> XMLnewbi: I can flesh that out if you specify the nature of the search
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> jv324: whack it on a USB or CD, then use that
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> jv324: be sure to MD5 test the ISO first
[23:12] <jv324> it says Could not retrieve the required installation files
[23:13] <XMLnewbi> locate worked, I was typeing search filename.html lol
[23:13] <jv324> im sure its not corrupted,a corrupted zip never extract without problem-_-isnt that a fact
[23:13] <DrGrov> Fudge: Here I got it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419937/
[23:13] <bekks> jv324: No. :)
[23:13] <jv324> -_-
[23:13] <blondielegs> it said something about i had to "activate" it
[23:13] <blondielegs> i tried to
[23:14] <jv324> anyway i try to load the iso using virtualclone drive
[23:14] <blondielegs> it went thru all the steps and then fell on its face
[23:14] <edheldil__> blondielegs, dante123: that dialog is an absolute rubbish. I have tried all the proposed version of the driver, neither of them worked. I have then installed the nvidia driver by hand (i.e. sh ./NVIDIA-......run) and all was running perfectly in 5 minutes
[23:14] <Zael> anybody know what this mess is about: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419938/
[23:14] <jv324> i started wubi and it run but didnt let me choose login option,it shows demo/full installation
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> jv324: its a good habit to always check ISO files, it takes seconds
[23:14] <jv324> when i pick it it ask i reboot
[23:14] <blondielegs> can you walk me thru how to do that
[23:14] <jv324> how can i reboot if the iso loader is running on windows-_-
[23:15] <blondielegs> there is so many people im having trouble following
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> jv324: exactly, thats why you need an extra media
[23:15] <jv324> would it run on usb like the smaller bootable like lucid puppy?
[23:15] <jv324> ah i thought ti should run when i extract
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> jv324: you can use unetbootin and run the OS off the USB
[23:16] <jv324> other programs usually install when iso is extracted
[23:16] <jv324> as long as all files are in same directory
[23:16] <Zael> cause of autorun
[23:16] <jv324> i dont want to use unetbootin
[23:16] <jv324> isnt iso is enough to run it on boot?
[23:17] <Zael> you have to burn iso, or image it to a usb with something like unetbootin
[23:17] <edheldil__> blondielegs:  download the NVidia's linux driver, switch to terminal (ctrl-alt-F1), login, killall lightdm, sh ./NVIDIA-......run.
[23:17] <jv324> image?
[23:17] <edheldil__> it might require you to install kernel headers, though
[23:17] <jv324> cant i just extract it
[23:17] <Zael> yeah, just copying the iso to the usb or copying the files out of the iso to the usb won't make it bootable
[23:18] <sc0rpi0n> is still need to downgrade xorg to install ati proprietary drivers?
[23:18] <jv324> not unless if i boot on usb?
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> jv324: no, you will need to either use unetbootin, burn to CD tyhen use wubi, or resize your NTFS, boot to the CD then install the new free space
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> jv324: or you can make a bootable CD with unetbbotin and install the OS using that
[23:18] <jv324> k ill find that unetbootin
[23:18] <jv324> i remember with lucid puppy i jsut extract it
[23:19] <jv324> i guess full install os needs some stuff
[23:19] <blondielegs> where do i download the driver
[23:19] <blondielegs> how do i get to download it \
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> jv324: so what....its a different distro so will act differently
[23:19] <DrGrov> Fudge: You saw the pastebin output?
[23:19] <jv324> sorry i didnt emant to say other distro
[23:19] <jv324> im just use with smaller bootable before
[23:20] <jv324> i need ubuntu to fix my filesystem on my smartphone
[23:22] <dante1232> edheldil__: tried what you said but says I must disable noveux driver first, how?
[23:23] <emx> where is the configuration folder of rhythmbox?
[23:24] <emx> (or how can i reset my music library such that it doesn't remove missing folders again and again?)
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> emx: try in ~/.config    maybe
[23:25] <emx> ActionParsnip, didn't find rhythmbox anywhere except it would use a different name.
[23:25] <verysoftoiletppr> hi
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> emx: try:  sudo updatedb; locate rhy | grep home
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> emx: it'll take a while
[23:25] <verysoftoiletppr> I'm trying to install this drivers http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=<IP_ADDRESS>.12&lang=English
[23:25] <emx> ActionParsnip, what? :) i found something in .cache
[23:26] <verysoftoiletppr> but the package doesn't contain configuration for precise
[23:26] <verysoftoiletppr> what should I do
[23:26] <jv324> question? this unetbootin,it needs empty flash drive?
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> !info fglrx
[23:26] <jv324> or it could be installed on a flash drive with files?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> !ati | verysoftoiletppr
[23:27] <dyzzy> hy
[23:27] <dyzzy> allpl
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> verysoftoiletppr: if you have a 2xxx 3xxx or 4xxx GPU, you'll want the legacy PPA driver if you are using Quantal
[23:27] <verysoftoiletppr> ActionParsnip this is 9.3 with legacy drivers
[23:27] <dante1232> this latest kernel and nvidia seem to have major issues installing
[23:27] <jv324> hello?
[23:28] <verysoftoiletppr> ActionParsnip I'm using precise
[23:28] <dante1232> tempted to try mint
[23:28] <snapdata> I have googled and googled for the last two hours and I cannot find any information on what services are responsible for logging in Ubuntu, and/or how to disable logging entirely. Any hints?
[23:28] <verysoftoiletppr> and the chipset is x1050
[23:28] <jv324> so could i install it on empty usb or not?
[23:28] <jv324> *not empty
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> jv324: you can use it to install with or even to. Unetbootin can use a persistance file to hold changes
[23:29] <emx> ActionParsnip, it is .local/share/rhythmbox that holds the library
[23:29] <jv324> i put all my files on a one folder
[23:29] <jv324> so im hoping it wouldnt be affected if i used the usb drive on unetbootin
[23:30] <jv324> so what you said means it wont get affected?
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> jv324: copying the data as files doesn't work
[23:30] <dante1232> error on nvidia driver install, unable to find the kernel source tree
[23:30] <verysoftoiletppr> ActionParsnip Legacy driver for ATI Radeon 9500/9550/9600/9700/9800/X300/X550/X600/X700/X800/X850/X1050/X1300/X1550/X1600/X1650/X1800/X1900/Xpress/X1200/X1250/X2100 Series cards http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx.
[23:30] <jv324> no im not copying
[23:30] <verysoftoiletppr> this is the link indicated in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[23:31] <kvothetech> dante1232: install the kernel sources
[23:31] <verysoftoiletppr> but I'm not sure how to install it
[23:31] <jv324> i mean i have personal files on the usb drive
[23:31] <verysoftoiletppr> because the .run doesn't contain a configuration for precise
[23:31] <dante1232> no wonder Linux gave nvidia the finger......BASTARDS!
[23:31] <cjae> Say I mount my ufs extenal drive (usb) to my ~/  , how come I cannot chown me:me ~/ufsstuff
[23:31] <jv324> i wanted to use unetbootin on that usbdrive,will it get erased?
[23:31] <verysoftoiletppr> ActionParsnip help
[23:31] <jv324> nvm ill just backup it and see
[23:31] <cjae> says its happpening but never changes owner
[23:32] <dante1232> how I do that kvothetech?
[23:32] <jv324> brb
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> verysoftoiletppr: the ppa is all i know of radeon chips dude, i don't buy them
[23:32] <Troy^> omg i have a logitch g110 i'm having such a hard time figuring out gnome15 for this keyboard. I'm trying to program the 'G' macro keys gnome15 is non-responsive for whatever reason.
[23:33] <Fudge> DrGrov  did someone look at your pastebin?
[23:33] <DrGrov> Fudge: No, unfortunately not. I just tried to do sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* as well and then reinstalling but no luck.
[23:34] <emes> I've been noticing that my compositing is slow. I have an ivy bridge laptop with intel graphics. it seems the intel driver is being used. what else can I check?
[23:34] <blondielegs> how i have a screen that says 4 options. 1. run in low graphics mode for just one session. 2. reconfigure graphics. 3. troubleshoot the error. 4. exit to console login.
[23:34] <Fudge> ok ill read it
[23:34] <newroad> hi guys. i'm having an issue with installing office 2010 x32 (on  x64 ubuntu) with wine 1.15.18. whenever the serial window pops up, i cant type into it.
[23:34] <isaias> HOLA SALUDOS
[23:35] <blondielegs> how do i fix my graphics card at this point if it will not let me reconfigure the graphics
[23:35] <blondielegs> theres no default
[23:35] <Fudge> DrGrov  apt-get install -f?
[23:35] <devrand0m> newroad, forget it...
[23:36] <DrGrov> Fudge: Ah, you are absolutely right. I have to do that to get that annoying little package out of the way :)
[23:36] <dante123> blondielegs, the graphics card ain't broke.....it either Ubuntu or nvidia driver that is the issue
[23:36] <blondielegs> how do i fix it at this point
[23:36] <mrkeuner> oops
[23:36] <DrGrov> Fudge: Should I perhaps just in case remove the actual LibreOffice PPA and enable it again before I do this "apt-get install -f"?
[23:37] <Fudge> DrGrov  I would just try the -f for fix missing packages and see your output
[23:37] <dante123> I'm working on same thing....will let you know if I succeed
[23:37] <DrGrov> Fudge: Did not show up anything special. I got the name though on the package that is causing the issue. libexttext-cat.
[23:38] <Fudge> i dont have tha tinstalled
[23:38] <newroad> devrand0m, ?
[23:38] <DrGrov> Fudge: I accidentally forced the install of that package and that made it really messy.
[23:38] <Fudge> DrGrov  my precise system output of installed libreoffice packages, maybe this will help you, start with the base probably http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419973/
[23:39] <escott> newroad, this is not the appropriate channel to ask in, nor is it particularly likely to work
[23:40] <DrGrov> Fudge: Thank you. I know how to install it but I can not get past that annoying little package :/ But I wonder, can I somehow force remove that libexttext-cat package now with the same procedure as sudo apt-get purge libexttext* ?
[23:40] <newroad> sigh
[23:40] <Fudge> DrGrov  or dpkr -r package name
[23:40] <Fudge> without -version-x
[23:40] <escott> newroad, if you can get your hands on a legal copy of office you can presumably get your hands on a legal copy of windows so try vbox
[23:40] <DrGrov> Fudge: Okay, that will probably be a good idea to test right now.
[23:41] <verysoftoiletppr> ActionParsnip which PPA
[23:41] <escott> !appdb | newroad
[23:41] <j4jackj> OK. Back in offtopic, I tried to make Flannel's joke backfire, and it backfired on me :(
[23:41] <Fudge> lol@j4jackj
[23:42] <newroad> escott, i know appdb, there just wasnt any reference to this problem there
[23:42] <j4jackj> Fudge: i know you are the same person
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> verysoftoiletppr: http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-fix-your-amd-graphics-in-ubuntu-12-10/   scroll don to the 'Using Makarewicz PPA' and click it
[23:43] <Fudge> j4jackj  same person as what
[23:43] <j4jackj> flannel
[23:43] <Fudge> I dont think so, try a /whois
[23:44] <DrGrov> Fudge: This is the PPA I am using. I will now try to remove it and re-enable it from Ubuntu Tweak from where I got it the first time. Hopefully that will work.
[23:44] <DrGrov> Fudge: http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu
[23:45] <Sterling> I have an Asus q200e, just bought it and it has EFI
[23:45] <Sterling> I used wubi on windows 8 to install a ubuntu partition
[23:45] <Sterling> but I get a bootloader error on boot
[23:45] <Sterling> I can boot win8 ok, but not ubuntu
[23:45] <Sterling> I can select it in the win8 boot menu
[23:45] <Fudge> DrGrov  which version of ubuntu are you using mate
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Sterling: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[23:46] <DrGrov> Fudge: I am using 10.04. I had it working until I by accident forced installed that libexttextcat package.
[23:46] <Sterling> ActionParsnip: read that, but it doesnt mention anything about wubi
[23:46] <Troy^> is anyone here using a logitech keyboard such as a g19, with an lcd screen or just has macro keys? I need help getting gnome-15 to run properly in ubuntu 12.04 so i can set keyboard backlights and macro settings.
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> Sterling: not sure about wubi in general. i think its awful
[23:47] <Sterling> its my only option for now
[23:47] <Sterling> dont have a USB disk on hand
[23:47] <Fudge> DrGrov  sorry mate not sure what else without looking, have you googled libreoffice lucid install problems ppa
[23:47] <John76> Can someone please help me get my Lexmark Impact s301 printer to work?
[23:48] <John76> I installed the drivers and it's still not showing up.
[23:48] <DrGrov> Fudge: Yes, I have and I am not getting much of anything at the moment. But I am sure I will figure it out soon. Checking out the ubuntuforums.org for some guidelines and help from people with the similar issue.
[23:49] <RickZilla> I can't think of a good reason why I can't access the disk utility...it's installed and showing up as such in synaptic, but I can't find it to run it otherwise. Running ubuntu 12.10
[23:50] <RickZilla> in Cinnamon, I might add
[23:50] <verysoftoiletppr> ActionParsnip tks :)
[23:50] <verysoftoiletppr> it looks usefull
[23:50] <verysoftoiletppr> useful
[23:50] <John76> http://support.lexmark.com/index?segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_IMPACT_S301&page=product&frompage=null#2
[23:51] <myfollower> shqip
[23:52] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: I think I wrote with you about my LibreOffice issues earlier. And how I got it back installed. Do you remember anything how we did it?
[23:53] <newroad> does ubuntu come with wine mono
[23:53] <newroad> ?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: i've drank and slept since then dude
[23:54] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Of course :) Have you seen the pastebin outputs I pasted to see what is the issue? Perhaps you know what might be the problem.
[23:55] <DrGrov> If I do a backup of all my files that I have on 10.04. Is it so simple that I just copy all the folders over, ex. Documents, Pictures, Downloads etc. and it is all good?
[23:55] <XMLnewbi> so im kinda brainstorming here. are cron jobs pratical on a second basis? I have a live stream of datacomeing in, (just a price, not a lot of data) I want to push a livestream of a modifie price on my site. Is useing php to insert into a database the best way
[23:56] <escott> Troy^, there was a g19-daemon or g19-tools project
[23:56] <XMLnewbi> look like my ubuntu server can only do crons every minute
[23:56] <escott> XMLnewbi, you should not be doing cron jobs more frequently than every 15 minutes or so
[23:57] <XMLnewbi> thats what I thought, should I probally be looking into running a websocket type setup
[23:57] <XMLnewbi> id prefur a livesteam of data
[23:57] <escott> XMLnewbi, you could open a socket or just sleep loop read a file
[23:57] <XMLnewbi> input and output as a function
[23:58] <XMLnewbi> open a socket* could you link something?
[23:59] <user> hello
[23:59] <escott> XMLnewbi, ..... it really depends on what tool you are going to use.
