[08:16] <Jovial> _root_ i'm not in front of a linux right now ... but i suppose that ifconfig | grep eth
[08:16] <Jovial> will do the job
[08:16] <_root_> Jovial: Doesn't show the down NIC; i want the list of all
[08:17] <gr33n7007h> _root_, iwconfig
[08:17] <jonascj> should I just remove the package again "dpkg -r" and then reinstall it with "apt-get" ?
[08:17] <Jovial> _root_ ifconfig -a;
[08:17] <Jovial> Display info on all network interfaces on server, active or inactive
[08:17] <_root_> gr33n7007h: iwconfig is for wireless i think???
[08:18] <gr33n7007h> _root_, It'll list em all

[08:18] <_root_> gr33n7007h: yes it did thanks
[08:19] <shamskabra> My Nvidia is GeForce 640 the one i see in supported list is 640 M this means my card is not supported. ?
[08:19] <_root_> eth0 doesn't show in any of the output; non of them;;; not ifconfig nor ifconfig -a

[08:19] <shamskabra> CUDA supported Nvidia card List.
[08:20] <elementary-site4> thanks for trying to help guys ^^
[08:20] <ikonia> shamskabra: what list ?
[08:20] <shamskabra> CUDA supported Nvidia Product list.
[08:20] <ikonia> shamskabra: where ?
[08:20] <shamskabra> https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
[08:21] <ikonia> shamskabra: so if that's not in the list, I'd have concerns about your card
[08:22] <shamskabra> i see thanks , i guess i should get a 640 M instead of 640
[08:23] <_joey> what's a good djvu plugin for chromium and firefox? Thanks!

[09:02] <prakash> how can i reduce the brightness of the screen? i am using ubuntu 12.04

[09:04] <vijaya> How to know PCIe is configured as a host or  device in u-boot source code
[09:05] <Lope> how can I start a terminal and execute a command inside it without the terminal closing immediately afterwards? mate-terminal opens a terminal. mate-terminal -e 'echo "hi"' closes immediately.
[09:05] <aeon-ltd> Lope: why?
[09:05] <prakash> i have tried brightness and lock but it no effect , brightness is still the same
[09:07] <C4709> Anybody know of a software for router that can give stats about which machines are connected to the router (there ip addresses), how much data they have uploaded and download and active port numbers  ?
[09:07] <ikonia> Lope: because you're telling it to open a terminal and run that command, it does exactly that, once the command is run, it exits
[09:07] <ikonia> C4709: you could do that with iptables and say ulog
[09:08] <aeon-ltd> C4709: i think i remember something liks ddwrt or tomato having something like that
[09:10] <llutz> Lope: mate-terminal -e "echo hi ;cat"   if mate-terminal has no "noclose" option

[09:33] <Braggart> Hi peeps.
[09:33] <Braggart> Anyone know how to add an entry to LightDM to run a VNC client?
[09:34] <Rory> Braggart: Searching the Internet for "lightdm vnc client" yielded this http://seb.so/vnc-from-boot-without-logging-in-ubuntu-lubuntu-xubuntu-and-mint-lmde/
[09:34] <Braggart> No, that's something else.
[09:35] <Braggart> That's LightDM acting as a VNC server.
[09:35] <Rory> My apologies
[09:35] <Braggart> I want to add an entry to LightDM, along side the user list, that executes a command basically.
[09:36] <Braggart> The command being something to the tune of opening a full-screen VNC client.
[09:36] <Rory> Braggart: You could make a new user, and set the command as autorun for that users login
[09:36] <Rory> Braggart: Then when you log in as that user (you can set it without a password) it will start the VNC client
[09:36] <babinlonston> Hi all , I'm Using Ubuntu 12.04 and While access some webpage which was hosted in my VPS some time not opens and its shows some error as apache version and Ubuntu, I don't want to show that my server is using apache and Ubuntu as my operating system , how can i remove it ? Please Guide
[09:38] <Braggart> Right, right, I vaguely remember reading something like that before. But how can I make sure nothing else loads? The user is to be just a dummy for the command, and I don't want anything else to load at all.
[09:38] <Rory> Braggart: or look in /usr/share/xsessions to see how sessions are created, and copy one and modify it, then you won't have to make a new user
[09:38] <nomike> hi
[09:38] <Rory> Braggart: Then you could have the fullscreen client instead of Unity, rather than on top of it
[09:39] <nomike> Do you know if lighdm from saucy still has XDCMP support?
[09:39] <Rory> nomike: Not sure, but if it does it might solve Braggart's problem as well :P
[09:39] <Braggart> babinlonston: Try the IRC channel for Apache.
[09:39] <Braggart> Oh? What's XDCMP?
[09:39] <babinlonston> k
[09:40] <Rory> nomike [cc Braggart]: Take a look here, there's an entry you have to add to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf https://wiki.ubuntu.com/xdmcp
[09:40] <Rory> Braggart: You don't want to use XDCMP naked over the internet
[09:40] <Braggart> babinlonston: Apache support channel: #httpd
[09:41] <nomike> Rory, I know that page, but the most recent info's I could find are for 11.10. No mention about any further ubuntu releases.
[09:41] <babinlonston> Braggart: yes im there thanks mate
[09:41] <Rory> nomike: why don't you try enabling the option and see if it works ;)
[09:41] <nomike> good point.
[09:41] <Braggart> Rory: Nah, I just have a local VM that I want someone to be able to access on my PC and nothing else.
[09:42] <Braggart> nomike: Check the LightDM version and look it up and see if it supports XDCMP thing.
[09:42] <Rory> Braggart: up to you; sounds like you already have VNC all set up though so probably just go with that
[09:43] <Braggart> Rory: Yes, that's why I'm not looking for a server. KVM VMs already broadcast VNC, I just want it to be accessible from the login screen.
[09:44] <Rory> Braggart: Right, so copy one of the entries in /usr/share/xsessions to /usr/share/xsessions/VNC.desktop and then modify it
[09:44] <Braggart> Aye, be having a look at it now.
[09:45] <Rory> Braggart: Then you can log in to that session instead of Unity, on any user
[09:45] <Rory> Braggart: Although forgetting to set it back again, and accidentally logging into your VNC server will annoy you forever ;)
[09:46] <Rory> Braggart: Also, different users have different default sessions, so if you want to avoid the "make default or just for this sessions" dialogue you can make a new user called VNC or something
[09:47] <Braggart> Can I haz user with option only to login with vnc.desktop?
[09:47] <tomboy64> i am using lubuntu quantal on an armhf. is there an easy way to get icedtea/openjdk installed on that?
[09:47] <tomboy64> Braggart: try giving him the shell nologin
[09:48] <Braggart> tomboy64: That's a supported arch, so it should have dedicated repo you can apt-get install from/
[09:48] <tomboy64> Braggart: didn't find one. only found openjdk-7 referenced - but couldn't figure out which
[09:48] <tomboy64> it isn't the "partner" repo
[09:49] <Braggart> Then there's probably an issue. I can't say any more, perhaps you should look it up.
[09:50] <Braggart> An issue with getting OpenJDK on armhf.
[09:50] <hever> hello, where are the thinkpad keymappings stored? Suspend works but I want to set LockScreen myself ???
[09:50] <tomboy64> ahhh, thanks for the hint with the repo, finally dug it up on launchpad.
[09:51] <Braggart> Good luck.
[09:52] <Braggart> Rory: What exactly do I have to modify on vnc.desktop.
[09:52] <Braggart> Rory: What exactly do I have to modify on vnc.desktop?
[09:53] <Braggart> By the way is there any VNC client preinstalled on Ubuntu? There should be, right?

[10:13] <sperrhaken> When I run the following command in a ssh-session: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend , I get `Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized'.  I hoped to fix that with a .plka file: http://nopaste.info/f5bcff3cf1.html , but it didn't do the trick.  How can I suspend my machine remotely with the interface provided by org.freedesktop.UPower
[10:13] <sperrhaken> without reverting to sudo when logged in remotely?  Where does my misconception lie?
[10:16] <Romance> which is best terminal video converter that can work well under 128 MB ram, i need it to downgrade the quality and size
[10:16] <reisio> Romance: ffmpeg; why do you need to downgrade the quality and size?
[10:17] <frdmn> can someone help me with my kernel problems? my /boot/ partition was too small for the new kernel, I increased the partition but aptitude still has some problems: http://hastebin.com/pujihidosu
[10:17] <Romance> reisio: well life shit, i dont have that speed, beside i got this free vps 128mb ram, rtorrent files, and use grive (google drive) to upload/sync it to my google drive
[10:18] <_root_> I have problem with the NIC; I have 2 network interface and i have 2 IP one gatway and a subnetmask and this is my /etc/network/interfaces   http://paste.ubuntu.com/6473119/    ;;;; but in the bootstrap ubuntu waits 60sec and then says that can't read the network config file
[10:18] <reisio> Romance: so the bandwidth is the bottleneck?
[10:18] <_root_> and boot without it
[10:18] <Romance> reisio: not really, i have unlimited bandwidth but poor speed, just 1Mbps
[10:19] <reisio> Romance: so you want to reduce quality to make transfer time less?
[10:19] <Romance> reisio: exactly
[10:19] <reisio> Romance: what format is your stuff now?
[10:19] <Rory> Romance: I'd advise that it will take so long to convert the video on such a low-end machine, that the different might not be worth it
[10:20] <Rory> Romance: if it's one of those 128mb lowendbox openvz instances especially
[10:20] <Romance> reisio: err im not thinking it yet, i dont have torrent downloading atm
[10:20] <reisio> ah
[10:20] <Romance> Rory: its from host1free
[10:20] <Rory> Romance: You could find a lower quality torrent
[10:21] <reisio> well if you're talking about the kind of things I think you're talking about, they're going to tend to be more diligently transcoded than you could pull off without a lot of research
[10:21] <Rory> Romance: This page might help if you want to convert http://www.ubuntumanual.org/posts/327/converting-videos-in-ubuntu-using-ffmpeg-the-ultimate-free-video-converter
[10:21] <reisio> what you could do, though, is put a streaming media server on the box
[10:21] <reisio> let the network do the work
[10:21] <Rory> yes Romance , people who encode and release videos over bittorrent, especially well-known release groups, tend to be VERY good at getting the best possible quality out of a given size
[10:22] <Rory> reisio: I doubt the box has the power to convert a 1 hour video in less than an hour, which would prevent streaming
[10:22] <Romance> encoding time is not a concern, but 128mb ram is sufficient right to do the job?
[10:22] <Rory> Romance: yes but it will be very slow
[10:22] <reisio> you don't need to convert it, just stream it
[10:23] <reisio> it becomes the problem of the network device and your media player's caching ability
[10:23] <Rory> reisio: The entire issue is he doesn't have the bandwidth to stream, so needs to convert to a smaller file, I thought?
[10:23] <reisio> no he just doesn't want to wait
[10:23] <reisio> that is, he doesn't want to wait while it downloads from the remote server to his local box
[10:23] <reisio> stream it and there's no download of the whole file at once
[10:23] <Rory> Romance: Well, there's a few options for you been described so far. pick one and try it :)
[10:23] <Romance> how about split the files? would it be a better idea
[10:23] <reisio> you just buffer what you're about to watch
[10:23] <reisio> Romance: nope
[10:24] <Rory> Romance: That won't make a difference. 1+1=2, and 2=2, you still have to download the same amount
[10:24] <Romance> oh right
[10:24] <sperrhaken> frdmn: Try 'dpkg -r initramfs-tools && aptitude install initramfs-tools'
[10:24] <_root_> any ideas?
[10:25] <frdmn> sperrhaken: http://hastebin.com/dibotawuka
[10:25] <frdmn> no luck :/
[10:25] <Romance> maybe i just need to buy that 15usd/year vps, but not having my debit card link with paypal yet lol
[10:26] <Rory> Romance: if you want a proper seedbox, I recommend a proper seedbox :)
[10:26] <Rory> frdmn: Can you please paste the output of: sudo apt-get -f install
[10:26] <Romance> Rory: no i prefer vps where i can run many things
[10:26] <Rory> Romance: or a higher-end VPS than a 128mb openvz instance
[10:27] <Rory> Romance: I have one of those, but I use it only for an IRC bouncer, I wouldn't encode video on it
[10:27] <frdmn> Rory: sure thing: http://hastebin.com/dixujedasa
[10:27] <Romance> Rory: yeah i saw one with 512MB solusvm , 15usd/year
[10:28] <Rory> Romance: Further discussion on this in #ubuntu-offtopic, you will probably get some recommendations there as well
[10:28] <Romance> Rory: danke
[10:28] <sperrhaken> frdmn: Can you go to /var/cache/apt/pkg and see if you can install the appropriate version of initramfs-tools-bin via dpkg -i ?
[10:29] <sperrhaken> frdmn: Oh, it's /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:29] <WhatElse> hi guys
[10:30] <frdmn> sperrhaken: seems that this worked :)
[10:30] <WhatElse> 9/10 I start ubuntu 13.10, it freezes (I think it's a video-driver related problem)
[10:30] <WhatElse> I'm using nouveau as video driver, with nvidia it doesn't work at all
[10:30] <frdmn> http://hastebin.com/nulosotiqe.hs
[10:30] <WhatElse> what can i do?
[10:31] <Rory> !nomodeset | WhatElse worth trying this
[10:31] <_root_> how to set two network card eth0 eth1 with two static ip?
[10:31] <WhatElse> Rory, I've already tried, Unity starts in both way (with and without modeset) but after 2 secs, it freezes
[10:32] <frdmn> sperrhaken & Rory: here's my dpkg -l: http://hastebin.com/munapocufi
[10:32] <WhatElse> Rory: with nomodeset it starts anyway but with the wrong resolution
[10:32] <Rory> WhatElse: Ah I didn't realise you got that far - can you try a different user?
[10:32] <peterbin> hi just did a clean install of ubuntu server 12.4.3 with lvm and boot in a separate partition, install went ok but I can't boot into the system. No errors, no output just a blank screen, just wondering if there is an issue I missed and how can I go about fixing this?
[10:33] <WhatElse> How can i do that? Because it automatically log in with my user
[10:33] <WhatElse> Rory: how can i do that? Because it automatically log in with my user
[10:34] <Rory> WhatElse: You can boot to recovery mode, select the root shell option, and use the "adduser" command
[10:35] <WhatElse> Rory,ok, now I'll try, but I had this problem from the first time I've installed ubuntu 13.10 (fresh installation, hd was empty before)
[10:36] <Rory> WhatElse: It's possibly a bad .iso or a bad CD/USb burn
[10:36] <Rory> !md5sum | WhatElse
[10:36] <WhatElse> Rory, I've installed it more than one time, and I've checked md5
[10:37] <WhatElse> Rory, when it was starting in recovery mode, it crashed with a kernel dump
[10:37] <Rory> WhatElse: I'm definitely going with a dodgy install then. Re-download, check the integrity of the .iso before you create your installation medium, then reinstall
[10:38] <peterbin> hi just did a clean install of ubuntu server 12.4.3 with lvm and boot in a separate partition, install went ok but I can't boot into the system. No errors, no output just a blank screen, just wondering if there is an issue I missed and how can I go about fixing this?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> WhatElse: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run:  killall -u $USER    and you will go back to the login screen
[10:38] <Rory> peterbin: Do you get as far as the Grub boot menu/
[10:39] <WhatElse> ActionParsnip: when it freezes I can't do anything
[10:39] <WhatElse> Rory, I can try, again, but I did it at least 4 times
[10:39] <Laurenceb> hi
[10:39] <Laurenceb> apt-get just went mad
[10:39] <Rory> !example | Laurenceb
[10:39] <Laurenceb> i had to kill it
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> WhatElse: does CTRL+ALT+F1 do nothing?
[10:40] <WhatElse> Rory, I'm not a newbie in linux world, it happens only with ubuntu, some pc, proprietary driver + arch linux everything work
[10:40] <Laurenceb> i was attempting to updATE evince
[10:40] <WhatElse> ActionParsnip, nope
[10:40] <sperrhaken> frdmn: Sorry, I don't get what you want to show me with the output of `dpkg -l'.
[10:40] <Rory> WhatElse: when you press numlock, does the light on your keyboard change?
[10:40] <WhatElse> Rory, no
[10:40] <lvleph> Could someone help me figure out how to switch from EFI to BIOS boot? I am using Ubuntu 13.04 on a Mac and the NVIDIA drivers don't work in EFI boot mode.
[10:40] <Rory> WhatElse: That usually is the difference between a complete freeze-up, and something temporary...
[10:41] <peterbin> Rory: the minute I turn on the comp it doesn't do anything, just a black screen, no grub menu, nothing.
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> WhatElse: have you tested RAM using Memtest86+ from Grub?
[10:41] <Rory> lvleph: That is entirely dependant on your machine, it will be something in your BIOS interface
[10:41] <SimonJai> hey guys, got this weird issue...
[10:41] <WhatElse> Rory, yes, as I said, sometime I can read the kernel dump of the error and it *seems* related to video driver
[10:41] <lvleph> Rory, this is a make and there is no BIOS interface
[10:41] <SimonJai> i'm trying to change the netmask of one of my eth to /25, but it doesn't want to change from /24
[10:41] <SimonJai> any ideas?
[10:41] <WhatElse> ActionParsnip, no, now I'll try
[10:41] <lvleph> MAC*
[10:41] <Rory> peterbin: Do you even see a POST screen (not ubuntu loading, just the device itsself starting up) - can you get into a BIOS menu?
[10:43] <WhatElse> ActionParsnip, it is checking, but I don't think this is the problem, because on the same pc, archlinux and windows 8 work without problems
[10:44] <WhatElse> I've also tried latest video driver from nvidia website, and the one in repository (without results)
[10:44] <Laurenceb> does apt-get keep a log of what was removed/installed?
[10:44] <Laurenceb> i need to restore my system
[10:44] <reisio> Laurenceb: yup
[10:45] <reisio> in /var/log/ :p
[10:45] <Laurenceb> where?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb: /var/log/dpkg.log
[10:45] <Laurenceb> ah
[10:45] <WhatElse> It must be something that happens during boot, because, if 1/10 it doesn't freeze on boot, then everything will be fine
[10:45] <Rory> WhatElse: It doesnt happen every time?
[10:45] <WhatElse> Rory, as I said, it happens 9/10
[10:46] <WhatElse> Rory, every morning I boot my pc 10+ times in order to get it working
[10:46] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, I was having a similar problem with an nvidia card recently.
[10:46] <makkalot> hi, can someone suggest a screencast recorder for linux that works
[10:46] <popey> makkalot: kazam
[10:46] <Rory> WhatElse: When you said you tried to install again 4 times, did you check the integrity of the medium? because if it was bad, you'd just be installing the bad image over and over
[10:46] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, and? I have a gtx550
[10:46] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, I have a GTX660
[10:46] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, What I found was that my card was overclocked from the manufacturer
[10:47] <gr33n7007h> SimonJai, use ifconfig
[10:47] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, and it was causing hell. It wouldnt over heat
[10:47] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Just lock up at boot, or randomly
[10:47] <makkalot> popey, thanks checking
[10:47] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, I flashed my bios and now I am good across all boots
[10:48] <WhatElse> Rory, the iso was ok because the MD5 match. now I'll do a dump with dd from the usb stick and check md5.. it should match, right?
[10:50] <peterbin> Rory: fixed it, once you mentioned the splash screen, I went into the bios, apparently the boot order was disabled and the sata disk was being used for booting, weird, first time I've encountered this (old slash new comp). Once I corrected it, it now boots, thanks.
[10:50] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, ok, I'll investigate. What is your card's manufacturer?
[10:50] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, MSI
[10:51] <Rory> peterbin: Glad you got it working, boot order is exactly what I was going to suggest :)
[10:52] <Rory> WhatElse: There's an option to check integrity from the liveUSB's boot menu
[10:52] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, mine is Zotac
[10:52] <WhatElse> Rory, ok, I'll try this
[10:53] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Can you give me the model number they sold it as?
[10:53] <Rory> WhatElse: You have to press a key when you see the purple boot menu with the keyboard icon at the bottom
[10:55] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, yes, wait a sec
[10:57] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, Zotac GTX550 Ti AMP: Edition 1GB 192 bit DDR5,    PN: 288-5N194-100-ZT           SN: xxxxxx
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> WhatElse: could edit the lightdm config file in root recovery mode so that autologin doesnt occur
[11:01] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Hmm, looks like that card is slightly overclocked by the manufacturer
[11:01] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Have you overclocked anything else on your system?
[11:01] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Like FSB or processor?
[11:01] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, nothing
[11:01] <WhatElse> ActionParsnip, it freezes also in recovery mode, so it's difficult to adjust the config file
[11:02] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, On recovery mode, did it freeze when you went to low graphics mode or even before then?
[11:02] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, what do you suggest? I won't damage my video card just because ubuntu doesn't work :/
[11:02] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, before, it was booting and it crashed
[11:03] <SimonJai> my config is in /etc/network/interfaces
[11:03] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, it doesn't reached the recovery menu and freezed
[11:03] <SimonJai> doesn't restarting network service update the netmask?
[11:03] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Well, if it's crashing before any graphics come in then it's probably not graphic card related.
[11:04] <sandman13> if I installed Ambiance theme in usr/share/themes would it affect the original theme?
[11:04] <Rory> sandman13: Ubuntu already comes with Ambiance theme
[11:04] <Rory> sandman13: It is the default theme
[11:04] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, I thought was a graphic problem because, If i remove "quiet" from kernel params, and I'll try yo read the kernel error, there are some "nvidia" words in the dump
[11:05] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Have you tried removing nvidia drivers and installing noveau to see if it boots?
[11:05] <sandman13> Rory it's for xfce
[11:06] <cfhowlett> sandman13, radiance for xfce?
[11:07] <a318pavl> hello
[11:07] <sandman13> cfhowlett: are you suggesting or wondering?
[11:08] <cfhowlett> sandman13, wondering?  so far as I know, radiance on xfce is a no-go.
[11:08] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, I'm using noveau now, with nvidia driver things go worse
[11:08] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, I see
[11:08] <sandman13> cfhowlett: thinking of giving ambiance a shot
[11:10] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, But even with Noveau it still wont boot?
[11:10] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, any idea? I'm in this situation from a lot of time now, this morning I get really fed up of spending half-hour every day to boot.. so I'm here :(
[11:10] <WhatElse> WhatElse, yes, this morning I tried a lot of times as usual, but it didn't start :/
[11:12] <r0ber> buenos días !
[11:12] <cfhowlett> !es}r0ber,
[11:12] <cfhowlett> !es|r0ber,
[11:13] <r0ber> toy tratando de crear un atachment que es solamente un campo que quiero que salga con cada nodo que muestra mi vista; he probado con atachment (no me sirve ya que no añade el atachment en cada nodo sino una sola vez en la  vista), y con EVA que creo tampoco me sirve porque quiero crear dicho atach a cada elemento renderizado de la vista, no a una entidad en si, en este caso el nodo
[11:13] <r0ber> ¿alguien sabe como podría hacer esto?
[11:13] <r0ber> con una pista me sobra :)
[11:13] <gothmasterflash> r0ber, !es
[11:13] <cfhowlett> !es
[11:14] <cfhowlett> r0ber, no habla espanol
[11:14] <r0ber> es decir , el tema es evitar los duplicados, puesto que ahora tal y como tengo la vista me muestra duplicados los nodos, porque tengo un campo autores, que por cada autor asociado a un nodo , muestra el nodo X veces
[11:15] <cfhowlett> r0ber, NO MAS!
[11:15] <r0ber> por eso he pensado usar un atach, pero que este atach sea a cada nodo que muestra mi vista, no a la vista en si
[11:15] <cfhowlett> !es|r0ber,
[11:15] <r0ber> con eva se crea un nuevo campo por lo que veo, pero ese campo no esta accesible desde views curiosamente por lo que veo
[11:15] <sandman13> cfhowlett: found a theme but installation guide instructs to copy it to /usr/share/theme. Does it have some impacts on the Unity or not?
[11:16] <r0ber> me permite meter el campo EVA a node,user etc etc.. pero no a mi otro display que es donde quiero meter dicho campo
[11:16] <Rory> !es | r0ber
[11:16] <cfhowlett> sander, radiance is a unity theme.  shoehorning it into the XFCE filesystem is unlikely to make it work, but I look forward to your report.
[11:17] <WhatElse> Ok, Memtest86 has finished, everything was fine :/
[11:18] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Have you tried to reset the bios?
[11:18] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, mainboard bios?
[11:18] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Yes
[11:18] <Rory> WhatElse: I would also advocate for trying that. Yes mainboard bios
[11:19] <sandman13> cfhowlett: i'm confused is radiance and ambiance same or else?
[11:19] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, Rory: no, I'll try
[11:19] <Rory> sandman13: They are different themes
[11:19] <WhatElse> but do you mean from bios menu? Or in a more hard way?
[11:19] <Rory> sandman13: They were released together with ubuntu 10.04, Ambiance is a dark theme (default) and Radiance is light
[11:20] <peterbin> can anyone recommend a good app that can backup a whole system into an image file also taking into consideration I have an ubuntu server unstall with two hard drives being used with lvm, not sure whether that makes a difference.
[11:21] <sandman13> Rory: what does "sudo apt-get install light-themes" install Ambiance or Radiance or both?
[11:23] <aeon-ltd> peterbin: clonezilla?, wait 2 hdd as one iso?
[11:24] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, I recommend poping the bios batter out and reseating it
[11:24] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Easy way to do it.
[11:25] <Sh1G3rU> peterbin, clonzilla but unles you have those hdd in some raid they will have to be backuped separately
[11:26] <G[zero]D> Hi all, there are experts of network solution trhougt ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server?
[11:26] <aeon-ltd> wut?
[11:26] <cfhowlett> huh?
[11:26] <G[zero]D> ?
[11:26] <peterbin> aeon-ltd: I thought the same thing as you, two hard disks as one file image, hmmm, not sure if I am correct on that one or I should just clone each separate... I am actually looking at clonezilla right now. The idea is to do full system image backup once a month or so while incremetnal file/partition backup every so week
[11:26] <aeon-ltd> G[zero]D: describe more
[11:26] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, ok, I did it, a stranger error appeared on boot!! "BUG: soft lookup CPU#0 stuck for 23s!"
[11:26] <cfhowlett> !english
[11:27] <G[zero]D> I have an Ubuntu server behind a network firewall
[11:27] <Sh1G3rU> !chinese
[11:27] <chillpil1_> Usage: !translate FromLanguage ToLanguage Word or Phrase to translate
[11:27] <G[zero]D> and I can reach only port 22
[11:27] <aeon-ltd> one line please
[11:27] <cfhowlett> !enter
[11:27] <Sh1G3rU> G[zero]D,  good you have ssh acces
[11:27] <aeon-ltd> it's far easier to read
[11:27] <gothmasterflash> You did it while the power was off, right?
[11:27] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, you did it when the power was off, right?
[11:27] <G[zero]D> I need to install, al lot of packages
[11:28] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, yes, of course
[11:28] <Sh1G3rU> G[zero]D, no other ports open at all??
[11:28] <G[zero]D> icmp ssh smb
[11:28] <Sh1G3rU> 80 443?
[11:29] <lotuspsychje> can the useracounts list be locked so other users cant poke around usernames?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, on bootup?  you can change it so the user list doesn't display.
[11:29] <G[zero]D> I have try to set up a reverse ssh tunneling with source my ubuntu desktop but not work
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: sorry i mean the useracounts icon from system settings
[11:30] <G[zero]D> Sh1G3rU, http and https are firewalled
[11:30] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, I have windows on the same hd, it doesn't boot too now.. what the hell is happening? :|
[11:31] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, not sure how but definitely do-able.  Kiosk mode, maybe?
[11:31] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: you know packagename of useraccounts?
[11:31] <peterbin> aeon-ltd: I am looking for something that can be automated, I am not sure clonezilla can do that
[11:32] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Can you boot into the bios settings?
[11:32] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, yes.  (MainBoard and CPU are just three months old)
[11:34] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Can you give me that error again?
[11:35] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Usually on a UEFI motherboard there is a button you can press to flash the bios
[11:35] <lotuspsychje> !language | WhatElse
[11:35] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash,  "BUG: soft lookup. CPU#0 stucks 23s!" <- it is printed every 23s
[11:36] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, What's your MoBo?
[11:36] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, MSI 990FXA-GD80
[11:36] <WhatElse> lotuspsychje, sorry
[11:37] <D4CH_RPi> "Sorry, Ubuntu 13.10 has experienced an internal error"
[11:37] <G[zero]D> other informations: the ubuntu server appears intersepted by a work proxy or this machine is configure to configure automatically proxys: :~$ sudo aptitude update
[11:37] <G[zero]D> [sudo] password for djzoidberg:
[11:37] <G[zero]D> Get: 1 http://<IP_ADDRESS> raring Release.gpg [933 B]
[11:37] <D4CH_RPi> ExecutablePath /sbin/wpa_supplicant
[11:37] <D4CH_RPi> whats thisand how do I fix it?
[11:38] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Alright shut it down
[11:38] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Open the case
[11:38] <Rory> D4CH_RPi: Have you made sure to install all the available updates from the Update Manager?
[11:38] <D4CH_RPi> I think so, Ill check
[11:39] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, it's already opened
[11:39] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, According to MSI what you need to do is remove the power cord
[11:39] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Inside there is a CMOS jumper
[11:39] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Or a black button
[11:39] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, They could be labeled
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> D4CH_RPi: are there any bugs reported?
[11:40] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, If it's a jumper it should be near the battery
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> G[zero]D: I recommend apt-get it handles mutiarch better
[11:41] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, If it's the button, I recommend you check the back near the USB ports
[11:41] <G[zero]D> I cat use apt or aptitude, this machine work only in local lan
[11:41] <D4CH_RPi> ActionParsnip: How do I see that?
[11:41] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, As that looks to be where MSI tends to put them
[11:41] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, there is't a jumper, but I have on the back, near PS2 and USB ports, a button labeled cl-cmos
[11:42] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, maybe i have to push it (without power?)?
[11:42] <G[zero]D> have a default route, nameservers, etc but it's closed by firewall
[11:42] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Alright according to MSI this what you need to do
[11:42] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Remove all but one DIMM
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> D4CH_RPi: launchpad.net or just report a bug and see if duplicates already exist
[11:42] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, ok
[11:42] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, press and hold the CMOS battery down for 30 seconds
[11:42] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Then pop the battery out and then back in
[11:43] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Then put your DIMMS back, and boot and head to BIOS
[11:43] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, There should be an option to reload optimized settings
[11:44] <G[zero]D> ActionParsnip, my request is: How can redirect all traffic of this server to my desk and use that like proxy?
[11:45] <G[zero]D> ActionParsnip, I have only ssh access and smb port opened from my desk ---> to server  || from server ---> to my machine  all closed
[11:45] <D4CH_RPi> ActionParsnip: ill do it next time i boot it up. Everything is updated
[11:47] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, ok, I did it, everything. I'm trying to boot ubuntu
[11:47] <G[zero]D> I go to smoke :'( no solutions for me
[11:49] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, same error.. :/ This time it print also: "self-detected stall on CPU [...]"
[11:49] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, keyboard is unresponsive, I'll try with windows
[11:51] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, windows doesn't boot too. But it boots in recovery mode, so maybe, the CPU works
[11:52] <philinux> !enter
[11:52] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Sorry, I didn't realize you were on a UEFI board before I suggested this.
[11:52] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, so do you think it's an UEFI problem?
[11:53] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, It could be that UEFI is thinking both installs are not legit
[11:53] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Since it was cleared out
[11:53] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, I see. So the solution is to reinstall everything? :/
[11:55] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Is there an option in your bios to boot without UEFI, maybe something like CMS only?
[11:56] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, I don't know, I'll check
[11:57] <kiwi_> hi... is there a package for popping up a message window (e.g. 'Good night, sweet dreams!' ;-)  upon shutdown?
[11:57] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, http://superuser.com/questions/376470/how-to-reinstall-grub2-efi It looks like the suspicions I have are correct
[11:58] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, http://askubuntu.com/questions/139394/cannot-boot-after-bios-uefi-reset-to-defaults
[11:58] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, the good news is you can recover
[11:58] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, But you'll need a recovery disc to do so
[11:59] <G[zero]D> I'm back
[12:00] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, ok, I'll try
[12:01] <gothmasterflash> kiwi_, shutdown -h 18:45 "Server is going down for maintenance" ?
[12:01] <G[zero]D> Is possible, create a tunnel through ssh connection, maybe with ip address? In this case I can route all traffic to my pc
[12:02] <gothmasterflash> G[zero]D, http://ha.ckers.org/ssh_proxy.html
[12:03] <kiwi_> gotmasterflash, where can i put it, so it is displayed when i use the gnome menu for shutting down?
[12:03] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, there isn't any option about boot mode (legacy or uefi) in bios
[12:03] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Looks like you're stuck on UEFI. You'll need to use recovery discs to re-add your OSes to UEFI's safe boot
[12:04] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, That should, hopefully fix the current issue
[12:04] <gothmasterflash> WhatElse, Which will then see if the bios reset fixed the other
[12:04] <G[zero]D> gothmasterflash, interesting
[12:04] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, yes, but if I'm lucky with this, I still have the other problem. Maybe it's a good time to change distro, because I can't waste all this time to get things working
[12:05] <WhatElse> gothmasterflash, thank you for your help, you are very kind :)
[12:05] <dnaranjo> sadasdas
[12:06] <philinux> !ops
[12:07] <gothmasterflash> Why did someone just call an emergency?
[12:07] <Myrtti> philinux: it greaty helps if you append that with "| the problem" so we know what to look
[12:07] <philinux> Troll
[12:07] <Myrtti> philinux: so, what am I supposed to look at?
[12:07] <philinux> dnaranjo;~
[12:08] <gothmasterflash> philinux, He made one non-sense entry
[12:08] <gothmasterflash> philinux, That doesnt make him a troll
[12:08] <gothmasterflash> philinux, Could have been a cat
[12:08] <gothmasterflash> philinux, now if he floods it...
[12:08] <Myrtti> ok. Thanks for the report, no action needed for now. Moving on.
[12:08] <nano_ub> Hello
[12:08] <gothmasterflash> Hello nano_ub
[12:09] <nano_ub> anyone here good with xorg? :)
[12:10] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, I have managed to break it and fix it a few times
[12:10] <nano_ub> have some issue with hdmi on a hp 4510s
[12:10] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, What do you need?
[12:10] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, can you be more specific?
[12:11] <nano_ub> problem is, the hdmi is conencted to the tv, but dont get any picture on it
[12:11] <StaticLNX> is there any graphical ssh clients in ubuntu that are similar to securecrt in windows?
[12:11] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Okay, so that could be anything.
[12:11] <nano_ub> but on the tv it says connected
[12:11] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, At any point do you see a splash screen, like on boot?
[12:11] <nano_ub> and i cant find the, dual mode settings
[12:12] <nano_ub> nothing :/
[12:12] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, or is it always just blank?
[12:12] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Okay, do you have another monitor?
[12:12] <nano_ub> black, and says no signal
[12:12] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, At this point you can't be sure it's the monitor
[12:12] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, It could be lack of drivers, bad cables, etc
[12:13] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, If you have another monitor hook that up and boot
[12:13] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Do you get the same problem?
[12:13] <nano_ub> cables works tryd it,
[12:13] <StaticLNX> =[
[12:14] <nano_ub> maybe dual mode something in xorg should be change, but i thought it was auto
[12:14] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, xorg can
[12:14] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, But your seeing a problem you can't address yet
[12:14] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Because without display you can't edit any xorg files
[12:15] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, So we need to figure out if it's your monitor or something else.
[12:15] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, The best way to do so is to go single monitor to the card
[12:15] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, and see if you've got display
[12:16] <nano_ub> vga connector to a monitor works
[12:17] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, How about THAT monitor?
[12:17] <nano_ub> hdmi to tv doesnt
[12:17] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, even in single mode?
[12:17] <Ben64> use a ssh server so you can change settings with the hdmi connected?
[12:17] <nano_ub>  ya
[12:17] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Okay, so now we know the issue the next set is going to be checking that you have video drivers installed on your card
[12:18] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, on single monitor, boot into linux then give me an lspci and post the results to pastebin
[12:24] <nano_ub> did a lcpci, and it says  VGA Compatible Controller : Intel corporation mobile 4  chipset Intergrated Graphic Controller
[12:24] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, okay, now do lscpi -k
[12:24] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, And tell me if it's got a kernel driver
[12:25] <bl4ckdu5t> Is there a way to recover a file removed with rm?
[12:27] <davividal> what is the most recent gnome I can install on 12.04? I can't upgrade
[12:28] <nano_ub> Kernel driver in use: i915
[12:29] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Okay good. What was the brandname and model of your monitor?
[12:30] <nano_ub> that 1 i connected samsung 2350
[12:30] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, I mean the one you want to use
[12:30] <nano_ub> Oh that one i want to use is a samsung 32" lcd something
[12:31] <gothmasterflash> nano_ub, Get the exact mode number. if we need to make an xorg config we have to include h-sync and v-sync. The wrong information can cause damage.
[12:31] <Ben64> nano_ub: does the computer have hdmi out?
[12:31] <gothmasterflash> model*
[12:31] <nano_ub> ya Laptop, model name HP Probook 4510s
[12:32] <Ben64> nano_ub: install ssh server and restart with the tv connected and ssh into it
[12:32] <gpix> bl4ckdu5t: sudo apt-get install extundelete
[12:33] <gothmasterflash> Ben64, You love suggesting that. :P
[12:33] <gpix> bl4ckdu5t: assuming you're one ext3/4 partition
[12:33] <Ben64> gothmasterflash: it will help
[12:33] <gothmasterflash> Ben64, I agree, but my presumption is always that people don't have a second computer on hand
[12:34] <Ben64> thats a bad presumption
[12:34] <nano_ub> i have :) but hdmi cable is not that long so :P
[12:35] <Waka_Flocka> where is the ubuntu dev channel?
[12:35] <Ben64> #ubuntu-devel
[12:36] <Waka_Flocka> ah thanks Ben64
[12:36] <Waka_Flocka> thought it was #ubuntu-1
[12:36] <bl4ckdu5t> Thanks gpix
[12:36] <Ben64> Waka_Flocka: #ubuntu+1 for 14.04 support, not the same as dev
[12:36] <Waka_Flocka> oh
[12:36] <Waka_Flocka> well my question regards trusty
[12:36] <Ben64> then it is #ubuntu+1 you want :)
[12:39] <_root_> i have two network card NIC on my server both have static ip and both are ifconfig output ; so they are up; but i cant ssh (putty) to my server with first ip  meaning eth0 ip to my server
[12:40] <Ben64> _root_: check in the ssh config, it may be set up to listen on only one ip
[12:40] <Lope> anyone familiar with krenamer? its not recognizing my regex. i search for /test/gi and it doesn't find test this.txt
[12:41] <_root_> Ben64: when i set it i had one ip but; how could i set it to listen to 2 ips?
[12:42] <Ben64> _root_: what does this command return -- "grep -i listen /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
[12:45] <_root_> Ben64: #ListenAdress ::            #ListenAddress  <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:46] <Ben64> _root_: then it should be listening to all addresses, you must have something else incorrect
[12:46] <_root_> Ben64:  for example?
[12:47] <lewis581> can someone please tell me the help channel? I need help setting up SASL?
[12:47] <Ben64> _root_: interfaces file, firewall, something else
[12:47] <Ben64> lewis581: what help channel
[12:47] <_root_> Ben64: this is the only file i did editing on http://paste.ubuntu.com/6473167/
[12:47] <lewis581> is there no help channel? my bad
[12:48] <Rory> lewis581: This is the Ubuntu support channel
[12:48] <Ben64> lewis581: there are many help channels, you'll need to be more specific
[12:48] <lewis581> the irc server help channel
[12:48] <lewis581> ?
[12:48] <Rory> lewis581: #freenode
[12:49] <lewis581> thanx
[12:49] <Ben64> _root_: are you sure you have multiple nics
[12:51] <_root_> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6473657/
[12:52] <Ben64> _root_: strange. you should contact ovh, thats what you pay them for :D
[12:54] <_root_> Ben64: how did you get the OVH part
[12:54] <Ben64> you pasted ips
[12:55] <_root_> Ben64: anyway;was  my /etc/network/interfaces wrong? ;;;; OH the IPs
[12:55] <_root_> Ben64: that is my job; they gave the user IP netmask Gateway ...
[12:56] <Ben64> btw, you do need to restart the ssh server for it to work on the new ip(s)
[12:56] <_root_> Ben64:  sudo service ssh restart?
[12:56] <Ben64> yeah
[12:57] <_root_> Ben64: is the service ssh or anything else?
[12:57] <Ben64> yep thats the service
[12:57] <Ben64> and you can check if its listening with nmap
[12:58] <_root_> Ben64:  how about nmap?
[12:58] <Ben64> yeah, i said nmap
[12:58] <Alex0150> Hello
[12:59] <_root_> Ben64: I mean how do i use nmap to find that out?
[12:59] <DannyButterman> Hi there. Does anyone know why removable medias do not automount anymore in 10.04 ? It happened all of a sudden on a machine, while on mine it works perfectly
[12:59] <Alex0150> Anyone know how to install wpasupplicant again on my Ubuntu with Live Ubuntu?
[13:00] <Ben64> _root_: nmap -p 22 <ip address>
[13:00] <Ben64> DannyButterman: sorry, 10.04 is no longer supported on desktops
[13:00] <_root_> Ben64: on my local machine or on the server?
[13:01] <DannyButterman> Ben64: well I know, but someone might know what to do anyway
[13:01] <Ben64> _root_: both
[13:01] <Ben64> DannyButterman: no... you need to upgrade
[13:03] <_root_> Ben64: anyway;was my /etc/network/interfaces wrong?
[13:03] <EminentDomain> yay got utorrent to work finally
[13:04] <Ben64> _root_: i don't think the route stuff is necessary, but probably not bad
[13:04] <EminentDomain> couldnt get it to work in freaking 12.04 but 13.10 it worked fine
[13:04] <EminentDomain> something to do with the GLIBC version
[13:04] <_root_> Ben64: that is OVH directives;
[13:05] <this> 0
[13:10] <leandrosansilva> Hello to all. Is it possible to run a byobu (I'm using tmux backend) for some users at the system's boot?
[13:11] <leandrosansilva> What I need is something like, before I login using user "abc", there's already a byobu session for this user
[13:11] <Rory> leandrosansilva: Do you mean to automatically log in multiple users, and start them some empty byobu/screen sessions
[13:11] <Rory> leandrosansilva: OK
[13:11] <leandrosansilva> Rory: excatly
[13:12] <leandrosansilva> exactly :-)
[13:12] <Rory> leandrosansilva: Any commands in /etc/rc.local are executed on system boot
[13:12] <Rory> leandrosansilva: You could sudo -u username "command to start your preferred multiplexer"
[13:13] <ActionPa1snip> Rory: leandrosansilva: above the 'exit 0' line :)
[13:13] <Rory> leandrosansilva: (one for each user) - if you wanted to make it one line you would do: for USER in `cat /path/to/list/of/users` ; do sudo -u $USER byobu; done
[13:14] <ActionPa1snip> Rory: no need for sudo in rc.local, they are ran as root already
[13:14] <Rory> ActionPa1snip: sudo -u user
[13:14] <ActionPa1snip> Rory: oh sorry, misread
[13:14] <leandrosansilva>  ok, I'll try that. I've looked at tmux manual and there's nothing about that. For screen I know you can use -d -m -S  options, which have that porpuse (to be ran in background)
[13:14] <Rory> leandrosansilva: I don't think you need to put that in rc.local because it's all background anyway
[13:15] <Rory> I'd like someone else to check my idea is sensible though, and will work
[13:15] <Rory> And by someone else I mean ActionPa1snip
[13:18] <nano_ubu> Problem not solved :/
[13:19] <kiwiii> hi
[13:19] <kiwiii> i hate linux
[13:19] <nano_ubu> but found the log for Xorg tho, '
[13:19] <kiwiii> ^_^
[13:19] <nano_ubu> :D
[13:19] <kiwiii> im using ubuntu 10.10 on old i686 based pc but I cant get anything done
[13:19] <nano_ubu>  ah
[13:19] <kiwiii> cant install irc, cant install flash
[13:19] <[Gentoo]> with the unity ui?
[13:20] <geirha> kiwiii: 10.10 is long past EOL (end of life)
[13:20] <nano_ubu> There is no support
[13:20] <nano_ubu> ya
[13:20] <geirha> !eolupdate | kiwiii
[13:20] <kiwiii> i can install windows xp on my pc, but not ubuntu
[13:20] <kiwiii> go figure
[13:20] <ActionPa1snip> kiwiii: I recommend a clean install of Precise, which is LTS and supported til April 2017
[13:20] <geirha> !eol | kiwiii
[13:22] <nano_ubu> where can i find the default xorg config?
[13:22] <zatricky> Hey all
[13:22] <nano_ubu> hello :)
[13:22] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: there isnt one
[13:22] <theadmin> kiwiii: Ancient releases are not supported. Use the latest LTS release if you want a stable system you can use for a reasonably long time (5 years since release date, to be precise, and then upgrade), or simply the latest version if you want to see new features (but you'll have to upgrade every 6 months or so)
[13:22] <nano_ubu> dam
[13:22] <theadmin> nano_ubu: To reset to default, simply remove the xorg.conf
[13:22] <zatricky> I've noticed on some of our servers when I log on I get the message "0 packages can be updated.\n0 updates are security updates." which is correct - but I get the message 5 times in a row prior to the first bash prompt being available. Is this a known issue?
[13:23] <nano_ubu> cant activate hdmi :/
[13:23] <cecilia> hello guys, i'd need a littke help to understand how to automatically mount USB drives in another folder except /media
[13:23] <theadmin> cecilia: If it's a specific drive, it's easy enough.
[13:23] <theadmin> cecilia: If not, that can be complicated...
[13:24] <cecilia> theadmin: no, unfortunately must be many different media except a single one that is a 1TB HDD taht must remain mounted to /media
[13:25] <cecilia> but that's done via /etc/fsab anyways
[13:25] <kiwiii> linux X_X
[13:25] <theadmin> kiwiii: Hey, XP isn't supported anymore either. Not like you get any updates on it.
[13:25] <EminentDomain> XP is supported until 2014
[13:25] <theadmin> cecilia: Uh. Hm. Then I have no idea lols
[13:25] <kiwiii> theadmin:i can get any software to run on xp
[13:25] <kiwiii> including youtube >.>
[13:26] <EminentDomain> lol
[13:26]  * kiwiii strangles mark shuttleworth
[13:26] <EminentDomain> i upgraded from XP to ubuntu
[13:26] <kiwiii> i have old pc which can't easily run 12.04
[13:26] <theadmin> kiwiii: Hey. You get software for Windows from other sites and stuff. You get software for Ubuntu from the Ubuntu servers. Can't keep all of the versions supported, mantained and upgraded.
[13:26] <kiwiii> i cant install anything on 10.10
[13:26] <nano_ubu> Im gonna install windows iguess :P
[13:26] <theadmin> kiwiii: Try Xubuntu.
[13:27] <cecilia> no fuck windows
[13:27] <theadmin> kiwiii: It's a lightweight version of Ubuntu with an environment very similar to the one in classic Ubuntu versions (pre-11.04)
[13:27] <kiwiii> windows 3.0 > ubuntu 10.04
[13:27] <kiwiii> 10.10*
[13:27] <EminentDomain> does anyone have a support related issues or do I need to get out the ban hammer?
[13:27] <Rory> !eol | kiwiii
[13:27] <kiwiii> 10.10 is all I can get that is fine with my i686 pc
[13:27] <Rory> kiwiii: Consider Xubuntu or Lubuntu
[13:28] <theadmin> kiwiii: Try Xubuntu, really, it should work just fine, maybe even better.
[13:28] <EminentDomain> well that's an old machine
[13:28] <[Gentoo]> kiwiii: is it i686 or before i686 like i586
[13:28] <cecilia> EminentDomain: yes I do
[13:28] <[Gentoo]> because afaik i686 is the default 32 bit arch
[13:28] <nano_ubu> cant get picture from my hdmi to the tv screen, hmdi is connected and on the tv, its says hdmi2 connected but no screen tho
[13:28] <kiwiii> rory i know what is eol, didn't expect ubuntu will become so nonchalant about old pcs which still need to run old distros
[13:28] <Rory> kiwiii: You can still run it, but the repositories aren't available
[13:28] <kiwiii> [Gentoo]:i686
[13:29] <Rory> nano_ubu: Can you open Display Settings and see what you see?
[13:29] <kiwiii> it said on installation screen that I am running i686 cpu, cant run 12.04
[13:29] <theadmin> kiwiii: Third time: Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu. They will run just fine on an old PC like yours.
[13:29] <JEHorn86> Hey everyone, I just installed Ubuntu 13.10 over an older install (complete wipe) and after a system update GDM went black
[13:29] <gothmasterflash> kiwiii, It's not that we are telling you that you can't run ubuntu if you like... just that it's going to be impossible to support.
[13:29] <Rory> kiwiii: Did you accidentally download the 64-bit version?
[13:29] <kiwiii> rory what is the use without repositories
[13:29] <JEHorn86> Ive never had GDM do that before on this PC
[13:29] <nano_ubu> only the main display, no tb
[13:29] <nano_ubu> tv
[13:29] <kiwiii> Rory: i downloaded 10.10 32bit
[13:29] <cecilia> lol someone with gentoo as nickname visiting an ubuntu chat
[13:29] <gothmasterflash> kiwiii, I generally find BSD and Gentoo to be good for old hardware
[13:29] <kiwiii> before I downloaded 12.064bit yes
[13:30] <Rory> cecilia: Visiting? [Gentoo] is very much a regular here
[13:30] <JEHorn86> So I'm trying to figure out how to fix this without going back to 12.04
[13:30] <kiwiii> gothmasterflash:my pc is pentium 4, 2800 with ht, it aint slow :<
[13:30] <Rory> JEHorn86: Can you try booting from an older kernel by selecting a lower-numbered version from the Grub boot menu, and see if the problem persists?
[13:30] <gothmasterflash> JEHorn86, did you do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[13:31] <tavarish> JEHorn86, I had the same issue, and I do some "/etc/init.d/lightdm restart" and some reboots
[13:31] <tavarish> it fixed it
[13:31] <G[zero]D> gothmasterflash,  no way
[13:31] <nano_ubu> gothmasterflash,  still nothing ^^
[13:31] <JEHorn86> I logged in after the initial install and the updater came up so I ran it. After I rebooted that's when it occured. so no, I never ran dpkg directly.
[13:31] <ActionPa1snip> kiwiii: all OSes eventually die, XP is dead on 1st April next year
[13:31] <Rory> JEHorn86: By the way do you actually mean GDM proper, or lightdm which is the default Dm now
[13:32] <gothmasterflash> G[zero]D, No way?
[13:32] <JEHorn86> oh sorry, yeah lightgm
[13:32] <cecilia> Rory: well sounds even much funnier then :D
[13:32] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Still nothing? Have have you done?
[13:32] <JEHorn86> dm
[13:32] <JEHorn86> sorry lightdm
[13:32] <JEHorn86> Sorry I've used Debian so long that I'm used to saying GDM or GDM3
[13:33] <Rory> JEHorn86: You could try switching to another console (Ctrl Alt F1) and running sudo service lightdm restart, see what you see
[13:33] <kiwiii> Rory: if i download the 32bit version of 12.04 will it work on my Pentium 4 CPU?
[13:33] <Rory> kiwiii: Yes
[13:33] <tavarish> kiwiii, yes
[13:34] <kiwiii> ok good thanks
[13:34] <kiwiii> i will return to slate linux a bit later
[13:35] <nano_ubu> gothmasterflash,  i upgraded everything, but there is no xorg file for me to check, so i cant do so much more
[13:35] <nano_ubu> but i have a log tho from xorg
[13:35] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: what are you tryiing to do
[13:36] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, are you booted into graphics?
[13:36] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, I could be as simple as going to settings, Displays, and turning the monitor on
[13:36] <G[zero]D> gothmasterflash, I unable to connect the server to internet through ssh resevse tunneling
[13:36] <nano_ubu> ya but no settings there
[13:36] <nano_ubu> only main display
[13:37] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Well, you can try defining the second monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:37] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, But lots of warnings....
[13:37] <nano_ubu> [Gentoo], im trying to use hdmi on my laptop to the tv, but no picture
[13:37] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, You'll want to be comfortable with the command line in case it breaks
[13:38] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: ah ok no idea
[13:38] <[Gentoo]> im still on a vga lol
[13:38] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, and you'll have to get the right h-sync and v-sync for your monitor
[13:38] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Or you can break it
[13:38] <nano_ubu> ya
[13:38] <Rory> gothmasterflash: I doubt that actually, the monitor probably just won't display it, it's not like the bad old days. HDMI is cleverer than VGA to a CRT
[13:39] <_KaszpiR_> hi
[13:39] <Rory> _KaszpiR_: Hello
[13:39] <gothmasterflash> Rory, Probably right, but I remember breaking monitors myself. Now I never take the chance.
[13:39] <_KaszpiR_> got problem with AMD/ATI 8730M with installed latest AMD beta driver
[13:39] <_KaszpiR_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6473839/
[13:39] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Okay, so you'll need to write an xorg.conf
[13:39] <_KaszpiR_> this is error when running gnome-session
[13:39] <_KaszpiR_> now I'm sitting on xfce4
[13:40] <_KaszpiR_> trying to solve this
[13:40] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, if you booted up to a blank screen, would you know how to get to command line and erase it?
[13:40] <[Gentoo]> xorg --configure will give you a load of bloat but you can use it as a template
[13:40] <_KaszpiR_> the laptop I have uses integrated intel video card and also has discrete mobile card from amd
[13:41] <_KaszpiR_> ubuntu 13.10
[13:41] <nano_ubu> ok ive checked the log searched for hdmi, and found.. Output HDMI1 has no monitor section
[13:41] <meh33> heya guys, is there a difference between java jdk for ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server?
[13:42] <[Gentoo]> meh33: why wouild there be
[13:42] <[Gentoo]> same package
[13:42] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Right, we need to define the monitor in xorg
[13:42] <meh33> [Gentoo], im just trying to make sure, following a guide for ubuntu desktop to install java jdk from source
[13:42] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, xorg --configure will give you a template to work with
[13:43] <[Gentoo]> meh33: they will all be the same thing
[13:43] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Once you have that, we can add another monitor section to it and define your HDMI display
[13:43] <[Gentoo]> meh33: on a server you might want to look out for deps
[13:43] <[Gentoo]> but thats it
[13:45] <ChaosZen> I'm a Linux noob, trying to chmod my /var/www so that I can save doc edits from Bluefish. Can't get "sudo chmod -R 666 /var/www " to work.
[13:45] <Rory> ChaosZen: Why not, what happens?
[13:45] <nano_ubu> gothmasterflash, Samsung UE32D4004BW
[13:45] <meh33> [Gentoo], thanks for the info dude
[13:46] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, That's the monitor model?
[13:46] <nano_ubu> ya
[13:46] <llutz> ChaosZen: you want to set x-permission on dirs
[13:46] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, ok, and did you generate an xorg file?
[13:46] <llutz> !permissions  | ChaosZen
[13:46] <nano_ubu> that part i dont know how to ^
[13:46] <nano_ubu> ^^
[13:46] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, We've told you twice
[13:46] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, xorg --configure
[13:47] <nano_ubu> brb :D
[13:47] <hufg> helloo any ideas why tmpfs /tmp would slow down after a while even if i have enough memory(32gb total, 6gb for /tmp)
[13:47] <[Gentoo]> nano_ubu: 1366x768 on that 32" will look terrible for PC use
[13:47] <hufg> it gets spammed with tiny files for gigabytes
[13:47] <hufg> at some 2gb it slows waaay down
[13:47] <ChaosZen> ok, nevermind then. Must have been momentary bug. Tried again to see the error message and it worked this time.
[13:47] <Repox> Hello. I'm having an issue with someone being able to send spam from my server. I suspect the problem is a php-script, but I'm unsure as to how to find out. Could someone point me to where to look?
[13:47] <nano_ubu> doesnt work
[13:48] <Repox> who
[13:48] <nano_ubu> command not found
[13:48] <gothmasterflash> [Gentoo], I dont know I am using a similar screen and it looks fine to me
[13:49] <Rory> Repox: If you look in the mail headers do you see a header similar to x-script
[13:49] <nano_ubu> [Gentoo],  only 720p on the tv so
[13:49] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Try xorg -configure
[13:49] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, I might have put too man - in there.
[13:49] <nashant> Hey, is it possible to run a command for an x session from outside of said session?
[13:49] <nano_ubu> i did command not found'
[13:49] <Knoxx> hello
[13:49] <paolo> ciao
[13:49] <Repox> Rory: I'm not where I can see the mail headers - I'm not recieving the mails myself.
[13:50] <Rory> Repox: They're being sent from your server; what MTA are you using?
[13:50] <ChaosZen> Earlier I tried to chmod via terminal and even typing exactly like the ubuntu site explained to use chmod, it would display the syntax and say --help for details.
[13:50] <paolo> cd mp3
[13:50] <Rory> ChaosZen: Sounds like you made a typo
[13:50] <Repox> Rory: I'm unsure, but I belieive it's Postfix?
[13:51] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, how about sudo X -configure
[13:51] <gothmasterflash> ?
[13:51] <nashant> I've got synergy running to share my mouse/keyboard with my xbmc server but it takes focus from XBMC when I leave that screen, which causes screen tear, so I wanted to run a cron job to use wmctrl to bring the XBMC window to the front
[13:51] <ChaosZen> Then I started Bluefish using sudo bluefish from term to work around. Then chmod exactly the same way and this time it worked.
[13:51] <nano_ubu> im in su
[13:51] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, Okay, then don't use the sudo part
[13:51] <gothmasterflash> nano_ubu, just the X -configure
[13:52] <nano_ubu> brb
[13:53] <Rory> Repox: There's instructions here on how to log mail sent through PHP's mail() function
[13:53] <Rory> Repox: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-log-emails-sent-with-phps-mail-function-to-detect-form-spam
[13:53] <Repox> Rory: Thank you. I'll take a look at it.

[14:11] <_KaszpiR_> hm, managed to start gnome,
[14:11] <gothmasterflash> suyash1629, I don't see the mesa driver as a requirement
[14:12] <Rory> mregg964: dig -x your.ip.address
[14:12] <_KaszpiR_> but cinnamon just stops responding to any mouse clicks or keyboard input after few seconds
[14:12] <gothmasterflash> suyash1629, Have you tried to remove it and replacing it with whatever driver your card would use otherwise?
[14:12] <rwc2> so, i cannot mount an encrpyted device with the correct key?  what if i just want to mount it and not access the data?  possible?
[14:12] <rwc2> without*
[14:13] <Rory> rwc2: You cannot mount an encrypted device without the key
[14:13] <Rory> rwc2: What are you actually trying to do, there may be a better way
[14:13] <suyash1629> gothmasterflash: but there is dependencies on mesa while installing the above packages, any solutions?
[14:14] <vic_> i have som issues with black screen on my laptop.. i get it to work with "nomodeset", but thats not ideal for performance... is there anything i can do?
[14:14] <gothmasterflash> suyash1629, If you have to have it there, why not tell your card to use a different driver in xorg.conf?
[14:15] <suyash1629> gothmasterflash: my graphic card is ati and the driver is not working with ubuntu
[14:17] <cristian_c> Hi
[14:17] <cristian_c> I've installed bustle
[14:18] <cristian_c> After I've launched it, I've got this message: 'No diagram loaded' 'Having saved the output of bustle-dbus-monitor' to a file , open that file to see a sequence diagram of D-Bus activity.'
[14:18] <cristian_c> How I solve this?
[14:18] <cristian_c> I've also installed graphviz
[14:18] <cristian_c> But nothing has changed :(
[14:18] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[14:19] <gothmasterflash> suyash1629, Have you tried to use fglrx?
[14:20] <gothmasterflash> suyash1629, Oh woops, old card.
[14:23] <mregg964> Rory: Oh!!! it returns another name, which is not us. How do I get rid of that?
[14:23] <suyash1629> vic_, its hp pavilion g6
[14:26] <Rory> mregg964: You have to contact your network provider
[14:26] <Rory> mregg964: To be honest if it was working before, it has to be something that's changed
[14:27] <mregg964> Rory: yeah well, we're having a security issue too, and I think this thing could be related.
[14:27] <oeb> Hello folks, quick question about the service command, got a linux server, and I'm trying to start mysql with an argument (--skip-grant-tables) but it tells me that it's not supported for upstart jobs. Is there another way?
[14:27] <mregg964> Rory: could it be a problem with the DNS server?
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> oeb  if you don't get an answer here, there's also #ubuntu-server
[14:28] <oeb> Thanks MonkeyDust
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> oeb  and 'quick questions' rarely have quick answers
[14:29] <Rory> mregg964: What sort of security issue?
[14:29] <oeb> MonkeyDust,  story of my life :P
[14:30] <Rory> mregg964: You should do more testing; send mail to lots of different domains and see which ones gets blocked, or all of them
[14:30] <Rory> mregg964: If there's an ongoing security issue someone might have been messing with the firewall
[14:31] <Rory> mregg964: Check that outbound traffic to port 25 is enabled
[14:31] <vic_> suyash1629: 4th gen intel?
[14:32] <Rory> oeb: Look in /etc/init/mysql.conf
[14:32] <Rory> !upstart | oeb
[14:33] <Rory> oeb: Change the line that says "exec mysqld" to "exec mysqld --skip-grant-tables"
[14:33] <oeb> I think I may have it Rory , I have started it directly from /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
[14:33] <Rory> oeb: If you're just doing it once-off that' a better way anyway :)
[14:33] <oeb> Thank you
[14:35] <alka> hi all

[14:37] <dry[1]> hi. what happened with xampp on ubuntu? Problem: "access denied" after fresh install (ubuntu: 12.04 LST, xampp: 1.8.3).
[14:40] <alka> maybe root access?
[14:40] <alka> OR BROKEN INSTALL
[14:40] <alka> or broken install

[14:45] <Rory> dry[1]: You will get a better supported and easier to configure stack if you uninstall whatever you installed, and install the LAMP stack as mentioned in the link above
[14:45] <Rory> !lamp
[14:45] <k1l> dry[1]: as already said by the bot. we do not support that insecure side installs from xampp. use the packages that ubuntu ships for you

[15:07] <SonikkuAmerica> damagna: I would suggest you run [ do-release-upgrade ] to upgrade your system to 12.04 LTS (Precise), which will be supported until 2017.

[15:18] <Quest> hitsujiTMO,  theres was no error else where
[15:18] <Richhh> trying to compile the node binaries

[15:20] <garshasp> uh
[15:20] <garshasp> wheres the help channel
[15:20] <k1l> !details | garshasp
[15:20] <Pici> garshasp: This is the official Ubuntu help channel right here.
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> garshasp  you've come to the right place
[15:21] <garshasp> im running 12.04.3 and it keeps freezing on me
[15:21] <Richhh> im thinking of arnold's pizza shop now
[15:21] <garshasp> 32-bit
[15:21] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, When does it freeze? At boot? After an hour?
[15:21] <garshasp> it freezes after boot
[15:21] <Richhh> any idea why i cannot sudo ./configure
[15:22] <garshasp> randomly
[15:22] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, So, you can log in and it freezes
[15:22] <ikonia> Richhh: you shouldn't be doing "sudo ./configure"
[15:22] <garshasp> thats correct
[15:22] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Are you overclocking anything?
[15:22] <Richhh> i cant ./configure either
[15:22] <hitsujiTMO> chicognu: there seems to be entries for different kernels in your grub.cfg. was there already a /boot in the pendrive?
[15:22] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, everything is stock
[15:24] <Richhh> ikonia how can i compile the untarred binaries then
[15:24] <garshasp> something to do with compiz?
[15:24] <ikonia> Richhh: you don't use sudo to do that
[15:25] <chicognu> hitsujiTMO: look what i think it is happining i use luks to protect / and leave boot with out encrypt. I think my kernel is no reconize /dev/sda2 as a encrypted file system, because of this it don't prompt me for a password. what do you think ?
[15:25] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Maybe. what graphics card are you using?
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> garshasp  try a different DE, to know if it still freezes
[15:26] <garshasp> hang on consulting the brochure
[15:27] <hitsujiTMO> chicognu: it is set to load the the / from a wrapper, but what worries me is the entries for a 3.2 and 3.8 kernel. as if there was already a kernel and grub present on the pendrive before you tried to install and never formatted it
[15:27] <hitsujiTMO> chicognu: s/wrapper/mapper
[15:27] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, For an issue like that my troubleshooting would be -use a different DE, if that fails find a different video card driver, if that fails, check your hardware with an other OS, if it's fine in another OS, try resetting bios
[15:28] <Quest> hitsujiTMO,  my packages are gone
[15:28] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, i have to use this version basically
[15:28] <garshasp> i dont even know what a de is
[15:28] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Why?
[15:28] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Desktop Enviroment
[15:28] <garshasp> oh
[15:28] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, So if you are using unity, try Gnome or KDE
[15:28] <garshasp> would that be under settings?
[15:28] <chicognu> in fact i don't format it before install but thouse kernels arent the default ?
[15:29] <chicognu> in fact i don't format it before install but thouse kernels arent the default anywhay hitsujiTMO
[15:29] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, That would be under "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop"
[15:29] <gothmasterflash> :D
[15:29] <hitsujiTMO> quest: i suggest a reinstall. I asked you for some info a while ago, and asked you not to delete that file. however since you insist on not doing what i ask, then I cannot help you further on this issue
[15:29] <garshasp> ok
[15:29] <Quest> hitsujiTMO,  it was an accident
[15:30] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, have you found that gnome de works better for these issues?
[15:30] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, It's my go to, but I am strange
[15:30] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Most people hate gnome
[15:30] <Quest> I have deleted some apt/cache/linux-image 4334 sometihing 64.deb and my packages are gone. is there a way to fix it?
[15:31] <JoshStrobl> I don't hate Gnome, I just don't agree with their direction.
[15:31] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, but the point isn't which DE is better, just as a test to see if your issue is something related to Unity or not
[15:31] <JoshStrobl> And the fact they ballsed up Nautilus.
[15:31] <hitsujiTMO> chicognu: it generated the grub.cfg based on info of other things present in /boot so the initramfs or anything could be completely misconfigure. i suggest a reinstall but make sure you format /boot this time
[15:31] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, whats your prediction based on past reports?
[15:32] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, My prediction is that you're going to end up resetting bios
[15:32] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, is that difficult?
[15:32] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, but you'll want to take every option first
[15:32] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Depends on your computer and if they used UEFI
[15:32] <garshasp> oh dear
[15:33] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, have you heard about this problem with the 12.04 build?
[15:33] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, I have had this problem.
[15:34] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, so you had to reset the bios lol
[15:34] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Yes.
[15:34] <garshasp> gothmasterflash,  :(
[15:35] <chicognu> hitsujiTMO: ok, i will do that but i need to know if my proceed has correct. I boot using livecd, creat swap and / on the hdd, format / with luks, creat a ect.4 fs on it, open the luks and map it to /dev/mapper/something and install / in /dev/map/something and boot on my pendrive (without format.) If i redo it again, formating /boot things will work just fine ?
[15:35] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, I got an MSI branded nvidia GTX660
[15:35] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, and suddenly I started random freezing. tried everything
[15:35] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, Then I found out the manufacturer overclocked the card
[15:36] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, which didn't play well with my system
[15:36] <gothmasterflash> garshasp, reset bios, and then I was set.
[15:36] <hitsujiTMO> chicognu: yes that does seem to be fine,
[15:36] <Quest> I have deleted some apt/cache/linux-image 4334 sometihing 64.deb and my packages are gone. is there a way to fix it?
[15:37] <chicognu> hitsujiTMO: ok thank you
[15:37] <mregg> Hi - we need some help as our Postfix server does not send nor receives email since our lastest 10.04.4 update. All emails are queue with "Connection timed out" message. What can we do?

[15:38] <JoshStrobl> @mregg You can upgrade from 10.04.4 to 12.04...
[15:39] <Quest> what linux kernel is needed for ubuntu 12.10?
[15:39] <Kaffien> anyone else having issues with zram-config?
[15:40] <JoshStrobl> @Quest 12.10 initially used 3.5
[15:40] <JoshStrobl> Although you could run 3.11.
[15:41] <Quest> I have deleted some apt/cache/linux-image 4334 sometihing 64.deb and my packages are gone. is there a way to fix it?
[15:41] <Quest> joshhunt,   ^
[15:41] <JoshStrobl> Actually isn't 3.12 out for saucy and trusty now?
[15:41] <garshasp> gothmasterflash, de change might work, can i switch to 2d from the settings?
[15:41] <JoshStrobl> Looks like it: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[15:41] <ikonia> JoshStrobl: no, thats the mainline kernel
[15:42] <JoshStrobl> @ikonia: Aaand the problem with running mainline is..what exactly?
[15:42] <sqrt7744> at numerous times, first at $60, most recently and foolishly at 865
[15:42] <Quest> ok. what exact should i apt-get install ?
[15:42] <ikonia> JoshStrobl: it's not patched for ubuntu as the ubuntu kernels
[15:42] <ikonia> JoshStrobl: hence "mainline"
[15:42] <JoshStrobl> "patched"
[15:42] <ikonia> rather than "ubuntu"
[15:43] <zorlak_> hi

[15:44] <zorlak_> -.-
[15:44] <zorlak_> good distributions
[15:44] <JoshStrobl> Do you mean *ubuntu or xubuntu?
[15:45] <zorlak_> yes ....tester lubuntu
[15:45] <hitsujiTMO> gustavocastrom: beats isn't a driver, its a dodgy equaliser. what sound card do you have?
[15:45] <JoshStrobl> @zorlak_ You know, writing in complete sentences is allowed in this channel...
[15:45] <ikonia> Quest: it looks to me like you've tried to install a package from a later version of ubuntu than you are running
[15:46] <gothmasterflash> JoshStrobl, I think english might not be his primary language
[15:46] <chro> in what package can I find the command hda-jack-sense-test ?
[15:46] <gothmasterflash> zorlak_, we have help in other languages if you are having issues getting the idea across?
[15:47] <Quest> ikonia,  what can i do now?
[15:47] <hitsujiTMO> !es | zorlak_
[15:47] <ikonia> Quest: did you try to install packages from anther release ?

[15:47] <JoshStrobl> @mregg: #ubuntu-server
[15:48] <mregg> JoshStrobl: thanks, I tried, but it's not active
[15:48] <zorlak_> yes
[15:48] <Quest> ikonia,  no i gues
[15:48] <ikonia> Quest: then why are the packages for a later version than 12.10
[15:49] <ikonia> Quest: did you use a PPA or an external repo ?
[15:49] <Quest> ikonia,  really dont know
[15:49] <Quest> ppa. yes
[15:49] <ikonia> Quest: come on !!!
[15:49] <Pici> Quest: Do you want us to guess?
[15:50] <ikonia> Quest: I told you earlier, "this doesn't look like it's coming from the default repos" you said "it is"
[15:50]  * JoshStrobl facepalms
[15:50] <Quest> Pici,  ikonia  i can show you the info I can fetch but I dont know what happened. iam no expert
[15:50] <ikonia> Quest: you activly told me the wrong information and said it was coming from the default repos
[15:50] <ikonia> Quest: re-install your server with the right version you want
[15:50] <ikonia> Quest: don't use PPAs and pay attention to th software you installing
[15:51] <Quest> ikonia,  i dont know what ppa might be the "new repo thing"
[15:51] <Quest> ikonia,  i should remove ppa?
[15:51] <ikonia> Quest: even then it's not the default - I asked you and you said "default"
[15:51] <ikonia> Quest: re-install your OS with the version you want to use
[15:51] <ikonia> Quest: the install the right software using only the core ubuntu repos, no 3rd parties, no PPA's
[15:51] <Quest> ikonia,  can reinstall. wil break alot
[15:51] <ikonia> Quest: it's alrady broken
[15:51] <Quest> ikonia,  broken things are ought to be fixed. arnt they? :)
[15:52] <JoshStrobl> Considering you're the one that broke it.
[15:52] <ikonia> Quest: yes by people who can manage a machine properly and give clear information
[15:52] <ikonia> Quest: the easiest / quickest solution would be to install using a supported version of ubuntu with the apcakges you want
[15:52] <JoshStrobl> Quest: http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[15:52] <ikonia> Quest: that way you use only the core ubuntu repos - no external sources
[15:52] <Quest> ikonia,  how about a dist upgrade?
[15:52] <JoshStrobl> Don't get stuff from PPAs then say you're pulling from the official repos.
[15:53] <ikonia> Quest: it won't do anything
[15:53] <JoshStrobl> Quest: Really, re-install.
[15:53] <ikonia> Quest: you've messed up your package system good, a re-install with the correct ubuntu version would be the quickest and best option fo ryou
[15:53] <Quest> wont it upgrade to new linux image?
[15:53] <JoshStrobl> No
[15:53] <JoshStrobl> Reinstall.
[15:53] <Quest> ikonia,  I have a lot of configs, databases, etc.
[15:53] <ikonia> Quest: back them up
[15:54] <meh33> anyone can help me out with installing java jkd by any chance? after installing it and run 'java -version' i get this error: bash: /usr/bin/java: cannot execute binary file
[15:54] <Quest> ok
[15:56] <Dat> how come scponly was removed from the repos?
[15:56] <JoshStrobl> @meh33 Where did you install it from?
[15:56] <OerHeks> Dat, scp is in the repo's, and installed standard.
[15:57] <Dat> OerHeks: this is true but I was refering to scponly
[15:57] <Kaffien> I have tried to install  lububtu-desktop but it requires that i have zram-config installed.  zram doesn't seem to want to install on ubuntu 13.10.   If anyone could / will help that would be much appreciated.  Here is the output.  http://pastebin.com/ebDkYwYv
[15:57] <meh33> JoshStrobl, i followed the simplest how to i could find, from here http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-JDK-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[15:58] <JoshStrobl> @meh33 Follow the directions at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[15:59] <meh33> JoshStrobl, hmm that link doesnt open for me
[16:00] <OerHeks> Dat oh, no typo. scponly it was removed after Lucid > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scponly/+publishinghistory
[16:00] <JoshStrobl> @meh33 It's working for me.
[16:00] <JoshStrobl> @OerHeks Mind checking the link?
[16:00] <Dat> OerHeks: was it deleted because it was bad or unstable?
[16:01] <Dat> Otherwise I'll have an issue trying to keep a chroot with scp
[16:01] <Quest> ikonia,  joshhunt  the do-release-upgrade tool auto deleted the ppa and started downloading apps. i hope it will make things better?
[16:01] <meh33> JoshStrobl, it worked after multiple refreshes, thanks
[16:01] <OerHeks> Dat, i was looking for the reason, cannot find any.
[16:02] <Quest> JoshStrobl, ^
[16:02] <JoshStrobl> @meh33 No problem bud, have a good one :)
[16:02] <Dat> hrmm maybe I should install it from the source then
[16:02] <Dat> OerHeks: do you know of any other alternative to chroot scp/sftp users?
[16:02] <JoshStrobl> @ikonia We tell the guy to simply re-install and nada, le sigh...
[16:02] <ikonia> Quest: what part of "that will not work" have I not made clear
[16:03] <ikonia> Quest: you ask "will it work" I saw %100 no, you do it anyway - this is why your machine is broken
[16:03] <JoshStrobl> Maybe he secretly wants a broken machine...
[16:03] <Quest> hm
[16:03] <Quest> ikonia,  so if i just remove ppa and update . will that be ok?
[16:03] <ikonia> Quest: NO !!!!
[16:04] <ikonia> Quest: why can you not understand this "no"
[16:04]  * JoshStrobl facepalms
[16:04] <ikonia> Quest: I've said 5 times now "no"
[16:04] <Quest> ikonia,  is there any way i can fix the system without a reinstall?
[16:04] <JoshStrobl> What the **** do you not get by NO
[16:04] <JoshStrobl> NO MEANS NO
[16:04] <ikonia> JoshStrobl: easy on the language please
[16:04] <JoshStrobl> @ikonia I said ****, as in the * 4 times.
[16:04] <Quest> JoshStrobl,  so its not fixable by ANY means. thats hard to digest
[16:04] <ikonia> Quest: the "best" way for you to get a working machine will be 1.) find an ubuntu release with the package you want - probably 13.04 or 13.10, then install that version
[16:04] <Quest> speaking of linux  atleast.
[16:04] <JoshStrobl> @ikonia It wasn't some curse word that was auto removed ;)
[16:04] <ikonia> Quest: it is fixable, but being honest, it's not fixable for you
[16:04] <YouDontKnowMe> Hi, ubuntu be trollin, I'm trying to figure out why my system is messed up. I had to boot into recovery mode and drop into shell...
[16:05] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe Recovery mode drops into shell.
[16:05] <ikonia> Quest: so the best thing to do is pick a later ubuntu version that has the packages you want as part of it's core repo - then install that
[16:05] <hitsujiTMO> JoshStrobl: it implied a curse is ikonias point
[16:05] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe It's not like Windows where you'll get put into a GUI with admin rights.
[16:05] <YouDontKnowMe> When I boot, it spits some text on the screen and then acts like its about to load the graphics whatcha call it, and then goes back to text, and then goes back to a black screen with my mouse and repeats
[16:06] <tgm4883> !details | YouDontKnowMe
[16:06] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe What were you doing prior to the restart?
[16:07] <YouDontKnowMe> JoshStrobl: I was clickin hella links in my chrome browser and then I restarted the next day and now it keeps going back an forth between text and my mouse cursor
[16:07] <YouDontKnowMe> I don't think this is the ubuntu virus but it could be
[16:07] <JoshStrobl> No
[16:07] <JoshStrobl> What were you doing aside from using Chrome?
[16:07] <Guest72379> Hello can someone help me set up ssh?
[16:08] <Guest72379> as a Tunnel proxy?
[16:08] <YouDontKnowMe> I think my lil bro was playing hella ram intensive games on chrome, when i was sleeping
[16:09] <JoshStrobl> That wouldn't have caused it to crash and give you the issues you're having. Did you install any packages aside from Chrome before letting your little bro play?
[16:09] <JoshStrobl> Sometimes changes those packages have won't be applied until reboot.
[16:09] <Quest> how to run 3 commands in one line so that each runs after the first had finished. (each uses sudo)?
[16:09] <Rory> mregg: Hi, was in a meeting, do you still need me specifically?
[16:09] <ikonia> Quest: what commands are you trying to run ?
[16:09] <YouDontKnowMe> I don't think so, the reason i restarted is becaues it was hella laggy
[16:10] <genii> Quest: Put && in between them
[16:10] <Quest> genial,  sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && echo 1  ?
[16:10] <Rory> Quest: Put && between them if you need to ensure each one completes sucesfully before the next. If you don't care if it was sucesfull or not, use ; instead of &&
[16:10] <Quest> genii, ^
[16:10] <ikonia> Quest: why are you running update ??
[16:10] <ikonia> Quest: it WILL NOT WORK
[16:10] <ikonia> Quest: it will make things WORSE
[16:10] <JoshStrobl> *sigh*
[16:11] <genii> Quest: When you deviate from instructions, it makes no one want to help you.
[16:11] <ikonia> Quest: do you understand the words I'm saying to you "it will not work to try to update/upgrade" ?
[16:11] <YouDontKnowMe> JoshStrobl: Any ideas? This is confusing
[16:11] <Quest> genii,  I understand but I reinstalling is the last resort for me
[16:11] <tgm4883> Quest, no, you don't
[16:11] <ikonia> Quest: blindly typing commands is not a better option
[16:12] <napsc> there comes  a point where *ignore* is the appropriate response... just saying....
[16:12] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe Do you mind rebooting the system and seeing if you have any options for other Linux kernel versions?
[16:12] <Quest> if its fixable, I need to fix
[16:12] <JoshStrobl> It may be an issue with a specific kernel version.
[16:12] <ikonia> Quest: typing commands blind is not a fix
[16:12] <JoshStrobl> Though doubtful.
[16:12] <ikonia> Quest: I'm giving you a proper solution for now AND for the long temr
[16:12] <ikonia> temr
[16:12] <ikonia> term even
[16:12] <YouDontKnowMe> It may be that I havent restarted since the first time i installed ubuntu
[16:12] <JoshStrobl> @Quest It is NOT fixable.
[16:13] <JoshStrobl> Your FIX is to REINSTALL.
[16:13] <YouDontKnowMe> I ran updates on meh system I thinks
[16:13] <JoshStrobl> ah
[16:13] <JoshStrobl> Yea, I'd suggest rebooting and seeing if there is an option in your GRUB boot menu to switch to a different kernel version :)
[16:13] <JoshStrobl> Hopefully there is and it'll resolve the issue!
[16:13] <YouDontKnowMe> JoshStrobl: you talking to me?
[16:13] <JoshStrobl> Yes
[16:14] <YouDontKnowMe> okay yeah ill try that
[16:14] <YouDontKnowMe> Thankyou so much you are hella help
[16:14] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe Don't thank me unless it works.
[16:14] <JoshStrobl> ;)
[16:14] <Quest> ikonia,  ok.. what solution?
[16:14] <JoshStrobl> @Quest Re-install. Re-install. Re-install. (chants like Ballmer)
[16:14] <Quest> k
[16:15] <JoshStrobl> Obviously make sure your stuff is backed up.
[16:15] <Quest>  reinstall
[16:15] <Quest> reinstall: command not found
[16:15] <JoshStrobl> ...
[16:15] <ikonia> Quest: backup your data and configs, pick an ubuntu version that has the package versions you want in the core repos, install the new version, replace your backup date
[16:15] <Quest> just kdding
[16:15] <JoshStrobl> Yea, just going to ignore you @Quest
[16:15] <ikonia> data
[16:15] <Rory> !zram | Kaffien
[16:15] <Kaffien> i know what it is
[16:16] <Kaffien> it just doesnt want to install / config .... but the point is moot now.  thanks for your help
[16:16] <Rory> Sorry Kaffien I thought that would have more info than it did
[16:16] <Kaffien> hehe .... I didn't realise that lubuntu is an action distro as well.
[16:17] <Rory> an action distro?
[16:17] <thai-2012> Hi! please help.... how to install theme to Ubuntu from gnome look? i'm only start learn linux systems
[16:17] <Kaffien> what is the reigning champion desktop these days?
[16:17] <Kaffien> actual rather
[16:17] <Kaffien> Sorry, this keyboard is horrible.
[16:17] <xangua> thai-2012: what theme¿
[16:17] <gothmasterflash> Kaffien, probably unity due to most people not caring enough to put something else on there.
[16:18] <tavarish> Kaffien, Windows of course
[16:18] <Kaffien> other than unity. I'm using this one a vm so less graphic intensive the better.
[16:18] <Kaffien> don't you dare say console
[16:18] <JoshStrobl> @Kaffien MATE, Cinnamon, Pantheon.
[16:18] <Kaffien> lol
[16:18] <hitsujiTMO> Kaffien: try xubuntu or lubuntu then
[16:19] <JoshStrobl> @Kaffien: Pantheon from elementaryos.org, MATE and Cinnamon from linuxmint.com
[16:19] <thai-2012> xangua i wanna theme "windows style" to my Ubuntu. but i don't know how to install. there is download button. it downloading archive. what next?
[16:19] <JoshStrobl> @thai-2012 Link to the theme please.
[16:19] <xangua> thai-2012: is this a gtk theme¿ if it is, it is a gtk3 theme¿
[16:20] <thai-2012> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta+%28LiNsta+is+Not+Vista+%3B-%29+Pack?content=41090 this link. it downloading archive only
[16:20] <JoshStrobl> @Kaffien If I were you, I'd run MATE with Linux Mint.
[16:20] <Kaffien> ahhh  it's been a while since i used mint.
[16:20] <Kaffien> I think i'll give that a go
[16:20] <Rory> thai-2012: I really doubt that will work now... it would have worked in 2006 when Ubuntu used Gnome 2
[16:20] <JoshStrobl> Oh man, 2006 LOL
[16:20] <Rory> Takes me back :')
[16:21] <Kaffien> Half tempted to check out gentoo if it still exists.
[16:21] <Kaffien> now that i have a slightly more powerful machine than a p3-800 hehehehe
[16:21] <hitsujiTMO> thai-2012: put the theme folders in the ~/.themes directory
[16:21] <thai-2012> ok. anyone give me a link please to to theme, which will work in 12 04?
[16:22] <hitsujiTMO> thai-2012: then you should be able to see the theme in your theme manager
[16:22] <kkkkkkk> hi all, i am using ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS and i am having a weird problem, my USB 3g wireless modem gets detected automatically, after a minute, and connects, but the problem is that sometimes when connection  dialing fails (due to server load or whatever ), it gets disappeared from the list, network menu>MObile broadband gets disappear from the list and i had to re insert modem again and wait for a minute to get it detected and try dialing again. why this is happ
[16:22] <Rory> thai-2012: I personally prefer the Webupd8 themes PPA https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/themes
[16:22] <Rory> !ppa
[16:22] <thai-2012> hitsujiTMO Thank you. but where is themes directory?
[16:23] <Rory> hitsujiTMO: it is a hidden directory (starts with a dot) in your home directory
[16:23] <Rory> thai-2012: ^
[16:23] <hitsujiTMO> thai-2012: ahh wait that's a metacity theme. thats not gonna work on unity
[16:23] <JoshStrobl> @thai ~/ is your home directory, so it'd be /home/yourname. .theme is a hidden directory.
[16:23] <thai-2012> thanks)
[16:23] <YouDontKnowMe> JoshStrobl: This is still giving me trouble
[16:23] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe When you rebooted, did it give you other Linux kernel versions to pick from?
[16:24] <YouDontKnowMe> No
[16:24] <YouDontKnowMe> For some reason, its switching between my mouse cursor, and text on the screen when i try to boot.
[16:24] <YouDontKnowMe> How do I check/downgrade kernel versions?
[16:25] <kkkkkkk> i need to solve that problem, because in windows, when connection to internet fails, i can just retry untill i get connected, how to acheive the same in linux, it is weird to reinsert modem again and wait more than a minute for redialing
[16:26] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe Let's try and see if it is a dependency issue. Boot it into shell (try CTRL + ALT + F1, sometimes that works).
[16:26] <kkkkkkk> sometimes due to server load, dialing fails and i need to redial, but i can dial only once in linux, if it fails, it gets out of the list
[16:26] <tavarish> kkkkkkk, how do you do your insertion ?
[16:26] <JoshStrobl> @YouDontKnowMe Then try: sudo apt-get update (it'll update your apt cache)
[16:27] <YouDontKnowMe> I've tried to boot into shell (by using f2 instead of f1) and it gives me a chance to login but then it switches back to the mouse and text
[16:27] <YouDontKnowMe> brb im going to try to update
[16:28] <kkkkkkk> tavarish: it is a USB modem, i just insert it in USB  port, wait for some time to initilize, click on the connection name MObile broadband, it gets connected. that's it. but when dialing fails, mobile broadband gets disappeared from the list , just like modem is being discarded and i need to re-insert the modem again in USB port
[16:28] <kkkkkkk> USB 3G wireless modem
[16:29] <Siya> Good afternoon all
[16:30] <tavarish> kkkkkkk, I will say nothing, otherwise the 'buntu community here will ban me
[16:30] <tavarish> i can't help you, sorry
[16:30] <Ichbins_> hi, since today Im unable to login via IMAP , Im using courier-imap and Im on 10.04 , any ideas?
[16:30] <kkkkkkk> tavarish: you can say privately
[16:30] <Siya> getting a touchscreen to work on Ubuntu(studio) 13.10 and xinput-calibrator says I should add lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
[16:30] <Siya> but my system doesn't have xorg.conf.d
[16:31] <Siya> do I create it or should I add the lines to a different file?
[16:31] <tavarish> it won't help you, because it's a useless information to solve your problem, but a usefull one to explain why it will be difficult to solve it
[16:32] <zykotick9> Siya: you can just "sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d" then create your file there
[16:32] <zykotick9> Siya: the alternative is to use xorg.conf but that's quasi-deprecated at this point
[16:33] <JoshStrobl> It's best to have it in xorg.conf.d/ anyways, since that is all user-defined and you don't risk messing with xorg.conf
[16:33] <fisherjohn> Hi I need help reinstalling/repairing grub. Idk where the problem lies.
[16:33] <ikonia> fisherjohn: you're using mint - not ubuntu
[16:33] <ikonia> fisherjohn: this channel doesn't support mint
[16:33] <jmgk> hello
[16:34] <kkkkkkk> tavarish:  how to provide more information, lsusb detects it properly, mode-switch is working properly, but if dial fails , then it is out of the list, i mean unable to dial, that's it. LSUSB : OMEGA TECHNOLOGGY  1c9e:9605
[16:34] <Ichbins_> no courier experts here?
[16:34] <Siya> thnx zykotick9
[16:34] <Guest27840> So I tried to update and that didnt fix the issue
[16:34] <kkkkkkk> there is some problem with modem-manager
[16:34] <thai-2012> i typed in filemanager    ~/.themes     and he can't find folder...:(
[16:34] <JoshStrobl> @Guest27840 Did you just do sudo apt-get update or did you also sudo apt-get upgrade?
[16:35] <Guest27840> I did update and upgrade afterwards
[16:35] <xangua> thai-2012: create it
[16:35] <malthe> with upstart, how do I force it to start a process which it thinks is already running
[16:35] <JoshStrobl> @thai-2012 "cd ~/ && mkdir .themes"
[16:35] <lucaone> salve ragazzi
[16:36] <tavarish> kkkkkkk, what does dmesg tell you when it happens?
[16:36] <thai-2012> JoshStrob THANK YOU :)
[16:36] <NotAGuest> Is there anyone who can help? When I boot, my screen hops from spitting out text output like "checking battery state" to the mouse cursor in front of a black screen, and it just hops back and forth
[16:37] <daftykins> NotAGuest: what did you recently change?
[16:37] <simong> Is there a way I can see from what repository a specific version of a package was installed?
[16:37] <kkkkkkk> tavarish: i never used dmesg and what to tell from dmesg command output, let me read log properly
[16:37] <simong> with apt
[16:37] <JoshStrobl> @NotAGuest: Not entirely sure what the issue is then. It could possibly be a driver issue, since it doesn't seem to be a kernel issue (since you had no prior Linux kernel), nor a Chrome issue, or a dependency issue.
[16:37] <NotAGuest> daftykins: Nothing that I know of
[16:37] <thai-2012> wow. Now i have Themes folder:) Thank you)))
[16:37] <zykotick9> JoshStrobl: sidenote, you don't need to use @ people will be highlighted if you include their nick (see "/msg ubottu tab") - this isn't twitter ;)
[16:37] <NotAGuest> But I haven't restarted in a while
[16:37] <tavarish> kkkkkkk, maybe you will have information about what happen
[16:37] <JoshStrobl> @zykotick9 I use it because smuxi has it for smart-tabbing.
[16:37] <daftykins> NotAGuest: so you've done some upgrades, on which release?
[16:38] <NotAGuest> daftykins: 13.10
[16:38] <zykotick9> JoshStrobl: i see...  lame...
[16:38] <JoshStrobl> @zykotick9 Not really.
[16:38] <daftykins> NotAGuest: have you had it installed long enough that you have much on it?
[16:38] <NotAGuest> Yes I have all my work files on it
[16:39] <thai-2012> i want ask again. Now i download tar Gz archive. I must unpack it and then put to themes folder? Or no
[16:39] <JoshStrobl> @daftykins Not a kernel issue or broken deps it seems. Maybe an issue with an open source driver?
[16:39] <NotAGuest> Oh and sometimes I see something like "broken pipe"
[16:39] <esde> thai you could gunzip it right into .themes
[16:40] <thai-2012> thanks
[16:40] <NotAGuest> I installed the lubuntu environment btw
[16:40] <daftykins> JoshStrobl: oh have you been assisting here already? sorry
[16:40] <JoshStrobl> @daftykins You're apologizing because you're helping someone out as well? You're strange :D
[16:41]  * NotAGuest whistles
[16:41] <JoshStrobl> @NotAGuest Did you do that before or after the issues?
[16:41] <NotAGuest> Before...
[16:41] <JoshStrobl> ...
[16:41] <JoshStrobl> And you didn't tell me?
[16:41] <JoshStrobl> le sigh
[16:41] <NotAGuest> Well, I mean I did it like 2 weeks ago
[16:41] <NotAGuest> When I reinstalled ubuntu on my system
[16:41] <zykotick9> NotAGuest: use a console to log in (ctrl+alt+f1), then "ls -al .Xauthority" who owns that file? [fyi alt+f7 to return to where gui, is suppose to be]
[16:41] <thai-2012> i unzip theme to themes folder. but there is nothing. maybe i download wrong theme... oh.
[16:42] <NotAGuest> but I dont recall restarting since then
[16:42] <JoshStrobl> Certainly sounds like lubuntu's deps broke your system then.
[16:42] <daftykins> and suddenly the mystery turned another corner...
[16:42] <NotAGuest> I've used lubuntu for weeks though
[16:42] <JoshStrobl> @daftykins What would life be without mystery and surprises, eh?
[16:42] <NotAGuest> without it doing this since I installed
[16:42] <hitsujiTMO> thai-2012: upon relooking at that theme, its a metacity theme ( gnome2 theme engine ) so will not work fully with unity/gnome3
[16:43] <daftykins> :D
[16:43] <NotAGuest> zykotick9: one moment
[16:43] <NotAGuest> I can't alt-left/right it isnt working :P
[16:43] <NotAGuest> so i need to exit irssi to check
[16:43] <NotAGuest> brb
[16:43] <thai-2012> hitsujiTMO: what category (left pane) i must choose in gnome look? GTK? Gnomw or what?
[16:44] <JoshStrobl> @hitsujiTMO He should be able to use GTK+ 3 themes right?
[16:44] <hitsujiTMO> thai-2012: gnome-shell
[16:44] <thai-2012> ok
[16:45] <NotAGuest> Okay so...it seems I cant log into my account and im stuck in root and there is no .Xauthority
[16:45] <hitsujiTMO> JoshStrobl: yes, that theme will most likely come with gtl2 + gtk3 + metacity parts. its the metacity part that will fail
[16:45] <ikonia> NotAGuest: you should not be able to login as root
[16:45] <zykotick9> ikonia: +1
[16:45] <hitsujiTMO> s/sgl2/gtk2
[16:45] <NotAGuest> ikonia: I did this from recovery
[16:45] <ikonia> ahh ok, so from a recovery console
[16:46] <NotAGuest> Yeah its the only way I can get access to the internets :P
[16:46] <JoshStrobl> @hitsujiTMO Noted for future reference :) Thanks.
[16:46] <ikonia> NotAGuest: recovery mode does not have internet access
[16:46] <zykotick9> ikonia: ahhh, those little details - i had no idea either ;)
[16:46] <ikonia> it's "single user"
[16:46] <ikonia> or at least should be
[16:46] <NotAGuest> ikonia: You can enable networking
[16:47] <NotAGuest> I don't have a usb or cd so its not like i can reinstall it
[16:47] <NotAGuest> I could iso-boot me thinks, but i hate the fact that im losing all my files...
[16:47] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: where is the normal account breaking? can you get to a vt with ( ctrl + alt + f1 )
[16:48] <NotAGuest> Nope
[16:48] <sbug> .....
[16:48] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: what is happening then?
[16:48] <NotAGuest> Nothing
[16:49] <NotAGuest> when i alt-left and do ctrl+alt+f1 it switches back to here
[16:49] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: not even dropping to initramfs? no splash? nothing?
[16:49] <NotAGuest> Nothing is happening
[16:50] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: can you try and boot with noquiet nosplash
[16:50] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: I forgot how to add those options
[16:50] <NotAGuest> put them at the end of the grub command?
[16:50] <esde> teamviewer is installed on ubuntu 12.04. most times it works great. but sometimes when i attempt to connect the windows will open and the remote desktop loads almost completely then freezes. I ssh into the machine, and kill the TV process and restart it. Nothing. Leave it running and type 'teamvierwer --daemon restart" and it's still "frozen" and other attempts to connect hang. The only way to resolve the issue is to reboot. Any one else seeing behavior lik
[16:50] <esde> e that?
[16:51] <thai-2012> Ok. i download theme Gnome Shell. in readme says i must install https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-extensions   i download latest. There is a folder in ZIP only. how to install? advice please
[16:51] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: yes, instead of splash quiet use nospash noquiet
[16:51] <NotAGuest> okay I will return, if it doesnt work
[16:51] <zykotick9> hitsujiTMO: typo warning nospash
[16:52] <hitsujiTMO> zykotick9: woops. i'm sure he'll see the mistake
[16:52] <hitsujiTMO> thai-2012: unzip and copy the folders ~/.themea folders
[16:53] <man0riaX> Hi
[16:54] <NotAGuest> Tried nosplash and noquiet but didnt work.
[16:55] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: did you at least see an error this time?
[16:56] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: I didnt see any kind of error, just a bunch of text on the screen for a little while and then it kept doing what its been doing.
[16:58] <hitsujiTMO> can you try and somehow pastebin /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/dmesg.0
[16:58] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: I don't know how i could
[16:58] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: actually. can you try the kernel option: text
[16:58] <NotAGuest> What should i be looking for in those files?
[16:58] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: how do I do that?
[16:59] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: same as nosplash noquiet do: nosplash noquiet text
[16:59] <NotAGuest> All right ill try that
[17:05] <guest324> i have a flash drive that initially is recognized by kubuntu, but after about an hour it was unable to be accessed, even though in bash i was accessing it every minute.  the device was never actually mounted from beginning to end.  is there a way i can adjust the length of time before the drive will stop being able to be accessed (without removing and reinserting the device?)
[17:09] <AnarchE> Hello all, hoping to get some help with an odd networking issue.  After updating to 13.10 I lost networking entirely.  Not even a link light on the NIC.  Tried another NIC (diff chipset) and a USB NIC and all have the same problem.  Been googling for a few days with no luck, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
[17:09] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: I tried what you said, and it brought me to a login prompt, so i logged int and then it spit out a bunch of text like ls command not found and similar stuff (commands that were not found) then it logged me out
[17:10] <ActionPa1snip> AnarchE: bad cable? checked connection on router / switch?
[17:11] <AnarchE> ActionPa1snip: Replaced the cable, tried a different port on the switch too
[17:11] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: hmm. interesting. have you modified /etc/profile or ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc?
[17:11] <AnarchE> ActionPa1snip: Verified the port and cable work with another PC as well.
[17:12] <Alligadi> how can i know which kernel module this usb to ethernet device (http://www.markit.eu/pl/pl/00049244/v2p6927688) uses?
[17:12] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: I have actually lol
[17:12] <NotAGuest> both of them :P
[17:13] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: can you tell me what changes you made?
[17:13] <NotAGuest> I added some path vars
[17:13] <hitsujiTMO> sounds like you've a broken path var then. ( explains the path not found )
[17:14] <hitsujiTMO> commands not found even
[17:14] <NotAGuest> That might be it...but how do I fix it if I can't even get into my system?
[17:14] <suuash1629> hi everyone, i was setting up android build environment and got some package dependencies on libgl1-mesa-dri, so i installed that and i got the broken pipe error and then i boot in recovery and went into dpkg and performed upgrades, and after that the ubuntu booted successfully but the mouse is no longer working, pleas anyone help me
[17:14] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: did you change the global one ( /etc/profile ) or the local one ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc?
[17:15] <NotAGuest> .profile and .bashrc
[17:15] <verywiseman> i am installing ubuntu 13.10 , and i have hardware RAID5 , and i am on  "installing grub" step, how can i know the device of my harddisk , because i want to install grub in MBR?
[17:15] <NotAGuest> I highly doubt i modified the one in /etc/
[17:15] <NotAGuest> but i have a bad memory so idk
[17:17] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: delete the .profile and .bashrc in your home and copy over a fresh copy from /etc/skel     ... you will need to: chown youruser:youruser  those files after too
[17:18] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: I dont know how to get in the system though, it wont let me log in
[17:18] <NotAGuest> I can't access those files from the root console im in now?
[17:18] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: you can do all that from the recovery prompt. have you remounted the filesystem as readwrite?
[17:18] <NotAGuest> I havent yet
[17:18] <NotAGuest> Not sure how to do that :D
[17:19] <NotAGuest> Unless thats an option
[17:19] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: mount -o remount,rw /
[17:19] <suuash1629> hi everyone, i was setting up android build environment and got some package dependencies on libgl1-mesa-dri, so i installed that and i got the broken pipe error and then i boot in recovery and went into dpkg and performed upgrades, and after that the ubuntu booted successfully but the mouse is no longer working, pleas anyone help me
[17:19] <NotAGuest> oh okay
[17:19] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: Is that it? I'm about to go try this now.
[17:20]  * NotAGuest will brb
[17:20] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: yes. try that and come back if its still the issue. could be that you have changed the global one if its still broken
[17:20] <Rory> suuash1629: Can you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[17:22] <vr2mx> Hello, does anybody know, how to delete the .bash_history for root (i know it is called like that for the standart user) ?!
[17:23] <hitsujiTMO> vr2mx: sudo rm /root/.bash_history                           ???
[17:23] <Rory> !pm | suuash1629

[17:31] <greek> Hi. Please recommend a guide for installing Windows side-by-side on an existing installation of Ubuntu (12.04 LTS). Thanks
[17:32] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: Okay; That didnt work either but it gave me more info. I saw that some things in /opt/ were "not found" and it seemed lik the system was stalling. And when I logged in it said the same that a bunch of commands were not found
[17:32] <ikonia> !dualboot | greek
[17:32] <greek> Thanks ikonia
[17:33] <danley> Hi. Is there a way to figure out what event cause a system to wake up from suspend (S3)? I have a small atom box that should be sleeping most of the time.... but it usually wakes up after a couple of minuts. ethtool tells me it only reacts to the Magic Packet and I can't figure out where that would come form since the box is alone at home with the router ;)
[17:33] <suuash1629> please anyone..
[17:33] <ikonia> suuash1629: anyone what ?
[17:34] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: sounds like you changed it globally then.    can you comment out any path entries in /etc/profile
[17:34] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: okay ill try that
[17:35] <suuash1629> ikonia: anyone help for my problem.. i have posted it some time ago
[17:35] <ikonia> suuash1629: I didn't see it so saying "anyone" is useless to me
[17:35] <danley> suuash1629, can you repeat it, I haven't seen it, yet
[17:36] <suuash1629> i was setting up android build environment and got some package dependencies on libgl1-mesa-dri, so i installed that and i got the broken pipe error and then i boot in recovery and went into dpkg and performed upgrades, and after that the ubuntu booted successfully but the mouse is no longer working,
[17:36] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: Okay I saw something else this time (i didnt change anything in /etc/), when i tried to login. Said something like "/bin wasnt in the path"
[17:37] <ikonia> suuash1629: what version of ubuntu and have you added any external repos or PPA's
[17:38] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: next is to check /etc/environment          it should be exactly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6474889/
[17:38] <suuash1629> ikonia, ubuntu 12.04.3, ppa? yes i had
[17:38] <ikonia> suuash1629: and at that point I'm out
[17:38] <NotAGuest> hitsujiTMO: can you save that in a .txt somewhere where I can wget it?
[17:38] <hitsujiTMO> NotAGuest: actually, you probably cant see that link. its should contain exactly:      PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[17:38] <ikonia> suuash1629: if you've installed stuff from 3rd party repos that created conflicts, you should be able to manage your dependencies and know whats changing
[17:39] <NotAGuest> okay ill look at it
[17:39] <suuash1629> ikonia, what do you mean? i didn't understand..
[17:39] <neyder> hi, how can i make dnsmasq dns service doesn interfere with my pc dns
[17:40] <ikonia> suuash1629: I mean if you're using PPA's that create package conflicts, you should know / understand how to mange them without breaking things, knowing what they are changing and without blindly doing upgrades
[17:41] <neyder> i'm trying to make an ubuntu mirror , but when dnsmasq is on with archive.ububntu.ccom pointing to my server , on my server I cant access to real archive
[17:42] <suuash1629> i have not installed anything eles than libgl1-mesa-dri, which made the conflicts, just after that, it caused the problem
[17:42] <hitsujiTMO> neyder: if you using your own mirror then just change the sources.list to point to you server
[17:42] <TheWhiteCode> hello
[17:42] <ikonia> suuash1629: right, so that backs up what I said
[17:43] <TheWhiteCode> hey guys
[17:43] <JesseH2> hitsujiTMO, It's "NotAGuest"
[17:43] <JesseH2> Thank you, you helped me fix it.
[17:44] <TheWhiteCode> can anyone see this?
[17:44] <JesseH2> Really do appreciate it, hitsujiTMO. And this is freenode????
[17:44] <hitsujiTMO> JesseH2: no problem at all
[17:44] <JesseH> Oh this is freenode
[17:44] <JesseH> Interesting
[17:44] <suuash1629> ikonia, i have removed that too and also done sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, my laptop is using radeon graphic card so i did that
[17:44] <ikonia> suuash1629: that won't fix anything
[17:45] <suuash1629> ikonia, so now what should i do?
[17:45] <ikonia> suuash1629: as I said - I'm out
[17:46] <suuash1629> as always, everyone is answering half..
[17:46] <neyder> hitsujiTMO, or in case I don't want they to acces FB, but just for me (and my server) be allowed with dnsmasq MitM mode
[17:47] <TheWhiteCode> So
[17:47] <TheWhiteCode> You can't see my messageS?
[17:47] <TheWhiteCode> at all?
[17:47] <ikonia> TheWhiteCode: we can see you
[17:47] <Aquaword> hi, if my Ubuntu freezes often where to check the possible reason? syslog?
[17:47] <k1l> !ask | TheWhiteCode
[17:47] <k1l> Aquaword: yes, or dmesg. both at /var/log/
[17:48] <robin__> whats a good key-combination for chinese input?
[17:48] <Aquaword> k1l: thanks
[17:49] <suuash1629> please anyone help,i was setting up android build environment and got some package dependencies on libgl1-mesa-dri, so i installed that and i got the broken pipe error and then i boot in recovery and went into dpkg and performed upgrades, and after that the ubuntu booted successfully but the mouse is no longer working

[17:55] <jekkt> i got a problem in my task in stochatics :) which i cannot solve alone
[17:55] <jekkt> i dont know what to do there:)
[17:55] <jekkt> may some one is interested to help me?
[17:56] <ikonia> jekkt: if you have an ubuntu question, just ask
[17:56] <suuash1629> ubottu, i have searched everywhere, no answer, there is no other place than this where i can ask properly..
[17:56] <jekkt> ubuntu is a linux distribution :) i trouth im here on math channel
[17:57] <jekkt> oh shit its truth im on ubuntu:D

[17:57] <ikonia> jekkt: please tone down the language
[18:01] <Walex> suuash1629: there are several versions of X and the various libGL, depending on which Ubuntu version you are using, However choosing one as a rule has no effect on the mouse working or not, even if an X server update happens.
[18:01] <Lenn1e> hi
[18:01] <Walex> suuash1629: which Ubuntu version are you using?
[18:02] <Lenn1e> did anybody know, how to measure: when i read sometginf from file - how much is taken from memory (cached), and how much is real from hdd ?
[18:02] <Lenn1e> or if tools like iostat, iotop show just real hdd acces (i dont think...), or hdd+mem
[18:02] <Walex> Lenn1e: depends on too many factors
[18:02] <Walex> Lenn1e: those tools show actual disk IO, not cache IO.
[18:03] <Lenn1e> hmm
[18:03] <Lenn1e> if so, its good.
[18:06] <suuash1629> Walex, i m using ubuntu 12.04.3, and i cant find which version of X should i use or anything else, the only problem now is not working mouse, while installing mesa some packages were removed and i think mouse driver was too removed, dont know exactly whats hapening.
[18:07] <ezra-s> suuash1629, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
[18:08] <Walex> suuash1629: you should use the 'x-swat' PPA and choose the packages ending in 'lts-raring'...
[18:08] <Walex> suuash1629: most likely some packages were removed because you half-updated the server side stuff.
[18:09] <ptyyy> How can I determine what version of Cinnamon I am using?
[18:09] <Trudko> guys I have ubuntu 13.10, webcam vx-1000 and I have expected that it will work out of box(ubuntu enthusiast convinced me), but it doesn;t if I try to test it in cheese it worked but when I tried to record video , cheese frezzed. In skype it doesn't work at all. In settings when video starts the picture is frozen
[18:09] <Lenn1e> ptyyy: cinnamon -v ?
[18:09] <ptyyy> Lenn1e, thanks -- sorry I'm making the switch from the awful thing known as macosx
[18:09] <suuash1629> well, i m following what ezra-s said, pc is rebooting
[18:10] <ptyyy> ah, it's cinnamon --version
[18:10] <Lenn1e> ptyyy: i never used macosx, but it seems to be somethink between win & lin...
[18:10] <Lenn1e> (friends using)
[18:11] <ptyyy> i guess awful was the wrong word, it's just very cluttered I suppose
[18:12] <Lenn1e> ptyyy: yes, more concise :)
[18:12] <xteejx> Hi guys, trying to do a merge, made all necessary changes, debuild -S 'd it and tested the build itself in pbuilder. How do I check it installs, I've forgotten?
[18:12] <Walex> Trudko: in general it works out of the box if you choose peripherals known to work... It is impossible to make every possible buggy peripheral work in advance.
[18:13] <Walex> Trudko: but the Webcam freezing could simply be too little power being available to it, it is a classic symptom.
[18:13] <suuash1629> ezra-s, mouse is working now... thanks a lot
[18:13] <Trudko> lol
[18:14] <ezra-s> suuash1629, Im glad ;)
[18:14] <Trudko> and I thought it would be easy to work with ubuntu, pitty seemed like a fun, but wasn't even good for development.
[18:14] <Trudko> ok I will skype from Windows , still thx
[18:15] <suuash1629> ezra-s, also some packages getting mesa dependencies is over
[18:16] <suuash1629> : ) thanks guys
