[18:30] <DeWabbit> bakuryuthemole,  any help?
[18:30] <theadmin> Hello. I'd like to know if there's any alternative to the Ubuntu Customization Kit (currently broken on Precise, the terminal won't open for further customization making it pretty useless) or Remastersys
[18:33] <theadmin> Basically speaking, something to build a customized Ubuntu ISO, either from an existing system or somehow else
[18:33] <adamx> good afternoon #ubuntu
[18:33] <mario_> where i can download legaly music for gmusicbrowser
[18:34] <theadmin> mario_: Uh, that's just a media player. It will play any music you download from about anywhere. Just need a legal website.
[18:34] <mario_> theadmin: i know, but who's legal website ?
[18:35] <DereC> hi, anybody could help me with setting up variable in script
[18:35] <adamx> itunes, amazon
[18:35] <adamx> those are legal sites
[18:35] <DereC> need to setup variable which contains quotes
[18:35] <theadmin> mario_: Just find any. There are plenty... Hm... Jango has some free music, for instance
[18:35] <theadmin> DereC: So... export var='some"thing"'
[18:35] <theadmin> DereC: Just use different kind of quotes -- enclosing text in single quotes allows you to use double quotes inside it, or vice versa
[18:36] <DereC> searchterm='"stype": 2,'
[18:36] <theadmin> DereC: Or something like this: export var="some\"thing\""
[18:36] <theadmin> DereC: Yeah that looks right to me
[18:36] <DereC> stype must be in qutes
[18:36] <DereC> ok, will try
[18:36] <andi3> hi, i'm configuring mini-buildd, when I upload package it fails with: "'Unknown distribution "unstable" in[..]". Do you use mini-buildd to build ubuntu packages?
[18:37] <DeWabbit> Anyone got Steam Beta working yet
[18:37] <theadmin> DeWabbit: Works here
[18:38] <DeWabbit> theadmin, so you fixxed the libjpeg-turbo error?
[18:38] <theadmin> DeWabbit: Dunno about any such error, it installs just fine. Precise, 64-bit.
[18:39] <DeWabbit> arr ok... bahh ill wait for them to fix for all...
[18:39] <DereC> theadmin,  looks not working for me
[18:39] <DereC> theadmin, here is full script http://paste.ubuntu.com/1467798/
[18:39] <theadmin> DereC: Huh? Show me the script, I'll see what the problem is
[18:40] <DereC> theadmin, just few lines
[18:41] <theadmin> DereC: Well, the variable *does* get set properly: http://ideone.com/qBEnKI
[18:42] <llutz> DereC: for file in $(grep -l -R "$searchterm" ...
[18:42] <DereC> but in search all the files has been changed, doesnt matter if file contains that string
[18:42] <llutz> DereC: you're passing more than one searchterm to grep, so it needs to be in quotes
[18:42] <DereC> will try again
[18:43] <LTF> any way to autologin in textmode without mintty?
[18:44] <theadmin> LTF: Check out: http://qingy.sourceforge.net/
[18:44] <llutz> DereC: yours expands to:        grep "stype": 2,  file      which unlikely is what you want
[18:45] <DereC> llutz, theadmin thx guys, quotes are killing me :)
[18:45] <b33nj> windows sucks so hard
[18:47] <theadmin> b33nj: Ok, then install and enjoy Ubuntu :P
[18:48] <theadmin> b33nj: Other than that, this is a support channel. Please try to keep on topic. That is, helping others to solve their Ubuntu problems, or letting them solve yours.
[18:51] <lamefun> Can I make a super-ultra-user-friendly DE out of Unity with lockdown? (eg. remove desktops, only allow one instance of each app, don't only show menus on hover, remove menu items, lock down all settings)?
[18:52] <theadmin> lamefun: Why would you even...
[18:52] <Kroach> I've been installing and changing Plymouth themes, then I decided to remove them and go back to the default, now backlight goes out when the splash screen should be displayed, how can I fix this?
[18:53] <lamefun> theadmin: for users?
[18:53] <theadmin> lamefun: What kind of users would want *no* options at all? I mean really.
[18:53] <ThinkT510> lamefun: looking for something to use on a kiosk or something?
[18:54] <theadmin> lamefun: Either way, I know of no real way to do what you want. There's some Ubuntu-based distro called something like "Suddenly WebKiosk" (not exact name, can't remember) that can be used for webkiosks, though
[18:54] <lamefun> I don't need hard lockdown
[18:55] <lamefun> Just so the options can't be triggered accidentaly
[18:55] <Kroach>  lamefun: you can hide the "System settings" and some other apps so that they don't get displayed in the Dash
[18:55] <Guest67568> Hello!
[18:56] <lamefun> What about GNOME3/MATE/KDE4?
[18:56] <tripelb> Anyone putting Ubuntu on a nexus 7 ?
[18:57] <Kroach>  lamefun: GNOME3 does a pretty good job at hiding settings by itself
[18:57] <theadmin> Kroach: Heh :)
[18:57] <lamefun> Can I hide menu items with code?
[18:57] <lamefun> Unity is in Python/GTK3?
[18:57] <theadmin> lamefun: Yeah pretty much
[18:58] <Maka> How can I install ia32-libs or ia32-libs-multiarch?
[18:58] <theadmin> Maka: Err, "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs". However, Ubuntu is multiarch by default for a while now, so that comes preinstalled.
[18:58] <Maka> apt-get cannot find these...
[18:59] <theadmin> Maka: Are you sure you're on 64-bit? And, do you have the "Universe" repository enabled?
[18:59] <Maka> and i can't make 32bit Maemo N900 Flasher work
[18:59] <Maka> yes i'm sure i'm 64 bit
[19:00] <Maka> how to enable Universe repository?
[19:00] <yoritomo> こんばんはみなさん
[19:00] <theadmin> !jp | yoritomo
[19:01] <yoritomo> heu sorry, listake
[19:01] <lamefun> can I hook into Unity and remove menu items, desktops, etc. w/o changing the system installation?
[19:01] <Kroach>  lamefun: what menu items exactly do you want removed?
[19:02] <theadmin> Maka: Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe multiverse  (replace "ru" with your country code and "precise" with the codename of your Ubuntu release)
[19:03] <lamefun> Kroach: most
[19:03] <Kroach>  lamefun: and by menu do you mean the applications menu/dash?
[19:03] <lamefun> can I also make so sound menu slider can support above 100% volume?
[19:03] <Maka> checked "Software Sources" that universe and multiverse are enabled...
[19:03] <lamefun> IDK, I use GNOME 3 myself
[19:03] <theadmin> Maka: Hm uh, which Ubuntu release are you on?
[19:03] <lamefun> what opens when I click the big ubuntu icon
[19:04] <Kroach>  lamefun: it's the Dash, there's an easy way to remove entries from there
[19:05] <annamaria> ciao
[19:05] <annamaria> !list
[19:05] <Kroach>  lamefun: do you want them removed system-wide or for a certain user?
[19:06] <Maka> I have Quantal
[19:06] <tripelb> Anyone putting Ubuntu on a  nexus 7 ?
[19:07] <theadmin> !info ia32-libs quantal
[19:07] <theadmin> Huh.
[19:07] <eternal> Its not very useful for daily use but shows promise for the future, re: nexus7
[19:07] <theadmin> That's odd, maybe it's been renamed? Either way, Quantal is fully multiarch, you should be able to run 32-bit apps without any issues.
[19:08] <Maka> hmmm
[19:08] <annamaria> ciao
[19:08] <annamaria> !list
[19:09] <Maka> why it's always saying in terminal "No such file or directory" then?
[19:10] <theadmin> Maka: What file is it searching for?
[19:10] <eternal> You don't have the required libs for said executable knstalled
[19:10] <eternal> Installed*
[19:11] <Maka> it's "flasher-3.5" flashing tool for Nokia N900
[19:11] <m_> neburu are you onlline
[19:11] <theadmin> Maka: We honestly don't care what the app is if it's not officially supported. What's the filename of the lib it wants?
[19:12] <Maka> And how should i know that?
[19:12] <voxcroix> my hdd was missing 11GB help me pls
[19:13] <theadmin> Maka: You said it throws "no such file or directory", that's always preceeded by some filename...
[19:13] <Maka> theadmin: nope...
[19:13] <voxcroix> hdd missing 11GB. need help
[19:14] <Flannel> voxcroix: What makes you think it's missing 11GB?
[19:17] <voxcroix> Flannel: i have only single hdd 160gb. i have try both os (ubuntu and win 7). in ubuntu its show up 160gb before format install. but in win7 its only show up 149gb
[19:17] <voxcroix> can i fix it?
[19:18] <eternal> Both sizes are correct and are the same.
[19:18] <voxcroix> are you sure.. the win7 is correct
[19:18] <eternal> HD makers lie :-P
[19:18] <eternal> Yes I'm sure
[19:19] <voxcroix> but ubuntu can show me 160gb why the win7 cant
[19:19] <Flannel> voxcroix: That's just the OSes reporting sizes differently.  One is based on base-2, and the other base-10.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Consumer_confusion
[19:20] <b33nj> hi
[19:20] <eternal> Linux is showing you the full capacity size the same math as the HD makers, windows  is using different math. The reason is out of the scope of here, Google gigabyte for the wiki articled
[19:20] <eternal> Article*
[19:20] <Flannel> voxcroix: They're both the same size, it's just like saying something weighs 10 pounds, and it also weighs 4.5kg.
[19:21] <voxcroix> ok.. i understand. it just like the RAM showing on linux system. is less the windows
[19:21] <voxcroix> thx
[19:21] <Flannel> well, RAM should be the same on both, but yes.
[19:23] <voxcroix> Flannel: do i need a /swap for my ubuntu 64bit and backtrack 64bit?
[19:23] <voxcroix> i have 8gb ram on my sustem
[19:23] <dowdyph0> voxcroix: how much ram do you have
[19:23] <Flannel> voxcroix: You can use the same swap for both, provided you don't intend to hibernate one and then reboot to the other.
[19:24] <Malimbar> hmm... I can't read some content of an external HD backup of a mac
[19:24] <voxcroix> Flannel: 8gb /swap?
[19:24] <dowdyph0> voxcroix: if you use no swap set vm.swappiness=0
[19:25] <theadmin> Malimbar: HFS doesn't have great support in Linux... But, uh, "some" sounds suspicious. Some files? Parts of files?
[19:25] <Flannel> voxcroix: That depends on your RAM and what you plan on doing with your system.
[19:25] <dowdyph0> voxcroix: use the same swap amount as ram, because sometimes ram dump to hard disk is needed
[19:25] <voxcroix> dowdyph0: okok
[19:26] <Malimbar> theadmin, it seems I can read the folder names, a .dat file, a .properties file, and the contents of one of the self-made folders
[19:26] <solitude88> anyone know of a good broken link checker for ubuntu?
[19:26] <dowdyph0> solitude88: what?
[19:26] <detrimental> i just installed ubuntu server, ssh. set up password and everything but when i try to connect via laptop on the same network it asked for my password but says the password is invalid.
[19:26] <detrimental> can anyone hlep
[19:27] <dowdyph0> solitude88: syslink?
[19:27] <solitude88> dowdyph0 I had a broken link checker on ubuntu before but now I cant fine it
[19:27] <Malimbar> theadmin, but all the music, movies, documents, etc are all folders that I have no permission to look at
[19:27] <solitude88> sweet dowdyph0 thank you
[19:27] <voxcroix> do i need /boot for running win7 ubuntu backtrack?
[19:27] <theadmin> Malimbar: Permission, eh... What exactly is the backup? More specifically, what kind of a filesystem is it on?
[19:28] <Malimbar> theadmin, pretty sure it's HFS+, it was done by the apple store when the laptop died
[19:28] <dowdyph0> solitude88: 1sec
[19:28] <Malimbar> we have the laptop back now with no data lost, but I was trying to transfer it over for next time it dies
[19:28] <solitude88> ok
[19:29] <detrimental> well it dosnt say invalid pw it says premission denieds
[19:29] <detrimental> anyone?
[19:30] <voxcroix> Flannel: /boot is needed?
[19:31] <Flannel> voxcroix: Not necessarily on a separate partition.  Depends on what your use-case is.  If you don't know, I wouldn't put it on a separate partition.
[19:31] <Hilikus> a couple of years ago i read an article that said that xubuntu wasn't really lighter than regular ubuntu. is that the case today? i'm using 12.04 and i have an ubuntu guest in virtualbox that i'm trying to lighten by changing the desktop manager
[19:32] <dowdyph0> solitude88: I'got a little script if you want
[19:32] <Flannel> Hilikus: xubuntu still pulls in the gtk libraries, which I believe is what that article was referencing.  The really lighter-weight one currently would be Lubuntu (using LXDE)
[19:32] <theadmin> Hilikus: By "desktop manager" you mean "desktop environment" (getting terminology straight can often be important for the right answer). But currently, Xubuntu is a lot more lightweight than Ubuntu. But Lubuntu is better yet.
[19:32] <solitude88> really! Yes please
[19:32] <theadmin> That's my Final Answer.
[19:32] <solitude88> that would be awesome dowdyph0
[19:32] <detrimental> i set up ubuntu ssh server for home use (12.4) i am trying to connect with ssh using a password so i can cp my rsa key to my laptop. when i try to connect thru ssh it says premission denied but im using the correct pw, can anyone hlep me
[19:33] <Maka> hmmm... I managed to install some 32libs and now i get this error: ./flasher-3.5: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[19:33] <Hilikus> theadmin: sorry, yes, desktop environment
[19:33] <Hilikus> i will take a look at LXDE
[19:33] <Hilikus> thanks Flannel theadmin
[19:33] <theadmin> detrimental: What about the username? Sure it's correct? If the usernames on the laptop and the server differ, you'll need to ssh with this syntax: ssh username@host. Simply using "ssh host" uses the current username, that is, the one you have on your laptop.
[19:33] <dowdyph0> solitude88: find -L <path> -type l -exec echo {} \;
[19:34] <detrimental> thank makes perfect sense
[19:34] <detrimental> i was just using the ip so username@ip
[19:34] <solitude88> dowdyph0 could path be a url?
[19:34] <dowdyph0> soz
[19:35] <dowdyph0> solitude88: nope
[19:35] <dowdyph0> xDDDDD
[19:35] <solitude88> :)
[19:35] <b14d3> detrimental: Alternately, you can do ssh -l [username] [host], but yes the way you typed it is also correct.
[19:35] <dowdyph0> solitude88: w8, what do you exactly need?
[19:35] <solitude88> sweet stuff I'm going to check this out now
[19:35] <solitude88> dowdyph0 I wanted to monitor my sites for broken links
[19:36] <dowdyph0> solitude88: maybe you can use wget o a little python script
[19:36] <theadmin> detrimental: Well, problem solved :)
[19:36] <dowdyph0> solitude88: so you wanna a script to extract all your links, and then test them
[19:36] <solitude88> dowdyph0 happen to have something like that in your toolbox :)
[19:37] <detrimental> debug1: Authentications that can continue: password

[19:37] <Catbuntu> Please, could somebody tell me the default fonts in Unity on Ubuntu?
[19:37] <Malimbar> The default font is Ubuntu
[19:37] <detrimental> thats using ssh -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:37] <Catbuntu> I know, but which size?
[19:37] <ThinkT510> !font | Catbuntu
[19:38] <Catbuntu> I don't want to know that, I want to know the defaults.
[19:38] <theadmin> wa
[19:38] <theadmin> Oops, sorry.
[19:38] <b14d3> detrimental: What is your username on the server?
[19:38] <detrimental> also james
[19:38] <detrimental> but diff hostname
[19:38] <b14d3> detrimental: Capital or lowercase?
[19:38] <detrimental> lowercase
[19:39] <ztgu> hey
[19:39] <b14d3> detrimental: Would you mind pastebin-ing the info and giving us the link?
[19:39] <detrimental> james@backupserv is my server james@james-cinnarch is my laptop
[19:39] <ztgu> anyone who know hoe to use VGA_switecheroo

[19:41] <b33nj> merry christmas
[19:41] <ThinkT510> detrimental: using ssh as root isn't a great idea
[19:41] <tramm> I am trying to update kernel on an ISO image using linux-*-3.5.0-21-wt-non-pae_3.5.0-21.32_i386.deb as described at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~webtom/+junk/linux-image-i386-non-pae/view/head:/README, however automatic updates from Ubuntu repositories still offer and install regular linux-*-3.5.0-21 for me... Is it okay that they are installed or is there a way to switch to *-wt-non-pae packages line somehow?
[19:42] <marenostrum> Catbuntu, Two links you might be interested in: http://askubuntu.com/questions/45572/is-it-possible-to-change-unity-panel-fonts-or-font-size http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779999
[19:42] <b33nj> merry christmas
[19:42] <b14d3> detrimental: Otherwise, it could be a setting in OpenSSH that's forcing you to try and use a different password, I vaguely remember that in the config. One sec and I'll check mine and see what I have set
[19:42] <detrimental> thinkt510 i know i was jst in root, the output is the same eather way.
[19:42] <detrimental> ok thank you
[19:43] <marenostrum> b33nj, Merry Christmas!
[19:43] <detrimental> i usually try not to seek much spoonfed help but was getting frestrated.
[19:43] <theadmin> detrimental: Silly check, but is OpenSSH on your server actually accepting password authentication at all?
[19:44] <detrimental> i went into sshd config and ssh config and it says password authentication yes
[19:44] <Catbuntu> marenostrum, I want to know the defaults, because I changed them.
[19:44] <Catbuntu> And I'm using MATE.
[19:44] <detrimental> thats the only place in the config i found that refers to pw authentication
[19:44] <ThinkT510> Catbuntu: mate isn't supported here
[19:45] <ztgu> anyone with VGA_switcheroo skills?
[19:45] <Catbuntu> I know.
[19:45] <b14d3> detrimental: I assume that allowrootlogin you set to "yes?"
[19:45] <Catbuntu> I'm just asking the Unity default font sizes gosh!
[19:45] <Catbuntu> It's not related to MATE.
[19:45] <detrimental> hold on one sec i believe so
[19:45] <detrimental> yes it is
[19:45] <marenostrum> Catbuntu, In the first link there's an image with direct link http://i.stack.imgur.com/GyuPL.png It might be showing the defaults but I'm not sure.
[19:46] <Catbuntu> Ok, thanks
[19:47] <theadmin> Catbuntu: These are the defaults in Kubuntu. I beleive they're the same across all versions: http://i.imm.io/QyP1.png
[19:49] <mario_> Hello boys, i'am again, i have small problem, i like to create new folder, and i type in terminal : mkdir HTML workspace but i don't make one folder called "HTML workspace" i making two folder "HTML" and "workspace" can i fix my problem ? I like to create one folder called "HTML workspace"
[19:49] <seednode> "Hello boys"
[19:49] <seednode> Odd way to start a question
[19:49] <mario_> and girls :)
[19:49] <mp2> hallo!!!
[19:49] <theadmin> mario_: I'm a girl, but regardless, you need to take the name in quotes.
[19:50] <theadmin> mario_: mkdir "HTML workspace"
[19:50] <GunArm> i'm trying to install ventrilo server based on (http://ulyssesonline.com/2012/08/27/install-ventrilo-server-on-ubuntu-12-04/)  basically I add a user 'ventrilo' and add this (http://www.benwagner.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ventrilo.txt) script to /etc/init.d/ventrilo  -- When I try to "sudo /etc/init.d/ventrilo start" it says "/usr/bin/ventrilo_srv: not found"  the file /usr/bin/ventrilo_srv definatly exists with 751 permissions, I can run it manual
[19:51] <mario_> theadmin: i'm so sorry, will not be repeated in future
[19:51] <seednode> Oh you guys
[19:51] <mario_> thanks you
[19:52] <Catbuntu> How can I set Unity applications to show only in Unity?
[19:52] <Catbuntu> It was something about the .desktop files
[19:53] <mario_> !ln | mario_
[19:54] <GunArm> this is not a problem with ventrilo its like a linux shell problem
[19:54] <GunArm> the script http://www.benwagner.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ventrilo.txt says that a file is not found when it clearly exists
[19:55] <GunArm> the line-      su ventrilo -c "$VENTBIN -f$VENTCONFIG/$VENTPREFIX -d"
[19:55] <mario_> ln /home/mario/HTML\ workspace/ /var/www/
[19:55] <mario_> ln: `/home/mario/HTML workspace/': hard link not allowed for directory
[19:56] <GunArm> which is actually      su ventrilo -c "/usr/bin/ventrilo_srv -f/etc/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv -d"
[19:56] <theadmin> mario_: -s
[19:56] <trism> Catbuntu: OnlyShowIn=Unity
[19:56] <ViaNocturna85> happy holidays people
[19:56] <b14d3> GunArm: Have you tried finding a Ventrilo support channel?
[19:56] <mario_> theadmin: you're awesome girl :)
[19:56] <theadmin> mario_: You can read manuals for specific commands by using "man command", e.g. "man ln"
[19:57] <GunArm> b14d3: no I haven't although this would be out of the scope of their support, since its not a problem with their software, ventrilo isn't even being run, because ubuntu is pretending to not see the file, i'm guessing it has to do with user permissions....?
[19:58] <b14d3> GunArm: If it doesn't see it then something else has to be going wrong, if it gave you a permissions error then it would probably be permissions. Paste the link (or pastebin) to the shell script again.
[19:58] <GunArm> do I have to do something special when I adduser in order for the user to be able to su ventrilo -c "/usr/bin/ventrilo_srv -f/etc/ventrilo/ventrilo_srv -d"
[19:59] <GunArm> http://www.benwagner.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ventrilo.txt
[19:59] <GunArm> the file /usr/bin/ventrilo_srv is permissions 751 user1:user1
[20:00] <steppi> jo
[20:01] <b14d3> GunArm: Pastebin the error you get when you try to run this script please
[20:01] <GunArm> http://pastebin.com/xtpb1RsG
[20:01] <GunArm> ahead of you :)
[20:01] <Catbuntu> trism, and where're the .desktop icons?
[20:02] <theadmin> Catbuntu: /usr/share/applications/
[20:02] <Catbuntu> ok
[20:02] <Catbuntu> thanks :)
[20:02] <GunArm> b14d3: also http://pastebin.com/DVX8W73z
[20:04] <GunArm> b14d3: to create the user i just did "$ sudo useradd ventrilo"  no special parameters
[20:04] <MirPooBuntu> o/
[20:05] <b14d3> GunArm: Ok. Reading for just a sec
[20:06] <GunArm> sure
[20:07] <johan_> what channel to join for nvidia gfx problems?
[20:07] <MirPooBuntu> i am having 2 issues with this ubuntu machine.  the major one is that my second swap partition isnt loading up at boot and i cant figure out how to get it to load automaticly
[20:07] <b14d3> GunArm: Keep in mind that this is not my area of expertise, so I'm grasping at what I can with my programming knowledge. Does the ventrilo user have sudo permissions?
[20:08] <GunArm> man, probably not, thats kindof where I was leaning but I was just following exactly http://ulyssesonline.com/2012/08/27/install-ventrilo-server-on-ubuntu-12-04/  which has no comments of people saying hey d00d, this doesnt work!
[20:08] <theadmin> MirPooBuntu: In fstab, /dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0
[20:08] <theadmin> MirPooBuntu: Well, obviously, replace /dev/sda1 with your swap part
[20:09] <b14d3> GunArm: Try that. I can't guarantee it will work, but it's something to try.
[20:09] <GunArm> sure
[20:09] <MirPooBuntu> theadmin: i checked and the current swap partition isnt there but thank you as you gave me a direction on what line to add
[20:09] <MirPooBuntu> thank you
[20:11] <KI4RO> Is it possible to leave a message for another user here who is not currently logged in?

[20:12] <KI4RO> theadmin, Thanks
[20:12] <Maka> Should I be able to install i386 on a 64bit 12.10 Quantal system?
[20:12] <Maka> I mean i386 programs?
[20:12] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, you can install i386 packages on 64bit if you have the 32bit runtime libs.
[20:12] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, you just can't run 64bit on 32BIT :p:
[20:13] <Maka> i have 64 bit system and 64 bit ubuntu
[20:13] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, then you can install ia32-libs or wahtever it is nowadays and you can run 32bit programs.
[20:13] <Maka> and have a 32bit program that won't install
[20:14] <TheLordOfTime> although usually there's amd64 equivalents of programs in Ubuntu
[20:14] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, such as?
[20:14] <mario_> ls -all
[20:14] <mario_> total 12
[20:14] <mario_> drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root  4096 Dec 26 20:52 .
[20:14] <mario_> drwxr-xr-x 31 mario mario 4096 Dec 26 20:59 ..
[20:14] <mario_> drwxr-xr-x  2 mario root  4096 Dec 26 20:23 w3schools
[20:14] <mario_>  who folder is "."
[20:14] <FloodBot1> mario_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:14] <Maka> there's no ia32-libs anymore...
[20:14] <MirPooBuntu> theadmin: where in fstab should i put the sap partitions as i dont see any of them
[20:14] <MirPooBuntu> http://paste.opensuse.org/74284614
[20:14] <theadmin> mario_: . is the current directory, .. is the directory one level above.
[20:14] <MirPooBuntu> swap
[20:14] <antonio_> what do I need to do to be able to export to mp4 with handbrake?
[20:14] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, they changed the name i think, not sure, but 32bit should still be installable in 64bit if you get the libraries.
[20:15] <theadmin> MirPooBuntu: Any line, there is no particular order
[20:15] <tramm> OK, I think I got it now. The key is linux-image-generic which depends incrementally on new kernels, if they are released. If I remove linux-image-generic, kernels won't be updated any more, although everything else will keep functioning fine. Is that correct?
[20:15] <MirPooBuntu> ok thanks
[20:15] <theadmin> MirPooBuntu: But one swap partition is already there...
[20:15] <kurtcocaine> I've got dual boot linux mint and ubuntu, I want to install funtoo where ubuntu is now installed on that partition, how do I get mint to just create an auto generated grub config for me?
[20:15] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, which program though
[20:15] <mario_> theadmin: is ok current directory to be owned by root, it's folder in my home folder
[20:15] <TheLordOfTime> Maka, since you're not providing that information nobody can help you :P:
[20:15] <Maka> Maemo-Flasher
[20:16] <theadmin> mario_: That's not normally the case.
[20:16] <Maka> http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Development_Environment/Maemo_Flasher-3.5
[20:16] <mario_> ok, i will fix it
[20:16] <Maka> if ur so interested about the program =)
[20:17] <nlux_> :3
[20:18] <mario_> is ok /home/ folder to be owned by root ?
[20:18] <theadmin> mario_: /home yes
[20:18] <theadmin> mario_: YOUR home folder, no.
[20:19] <nlux_> guys, can I mount a 3tb on /home after installation's done?
[20:20] <MirPooBuntu> yea
[20:20] <mario_> fixed, thanks for all :)
[20:20] <seednode> So, MirPooBuntu, why the direct hatred of Ubuntu today?
[20:20] <seednode> What do you use, again?
[20:20] <MirPooBuntu> :O
[20:20] <MirPooBuntu> seednode: :D
[20:20] <kvothetech> nlux_: yes
[20:20] <KScorp> hi guys
[20:20] <MirPooBuntu> i use Suse and Ubuntu and Winblows
[20:20] <nlux_> thanks

[20:22] <lkj> Hi, is there a way to change the encrypted home dir password that you need to enter at boot?
[20:22] <Maka> dammit... every site says to get ia32-libs...
[20:22] <madinc> hi guys can somebody help me with xboxdrv??
[20:23] <Maka> i guess i just download 32bit ubuntu then =(
[20:23] <kvothetech> madinc: no not one person out of about 6 billion can help you
[20:23] <kvothetech> madinc: uh
[20:23] <seednode> Jordan_U: My apologies, I didn't pay attention to the buffer title.
[20:23] <kvothetech> Maka: ia32-libs is for multiarch
[20:23] <seednode> I thought I was in the ##ibmthinkpad buffer
[20:23] <kvothetech> aka if you're already on 64 bit and you want 32
[20:24] <kvothetech> and i think it's a debian package though it may also be in ubuntu
[20:24] <Jordan_U> lkj: Yes. Are you really talking about an encrypted home directory or an encrypted root, because for an encrypted home directory (using ecryptfs) you shouldn't need to enter any password "at boot" and only your normal login to login to your user (you shouldn't be asked for a password separately from the normal login, but automatic login is not possible).
[20:25] <ShadowMedic>
[20:25] <lkj> Jordan_U,  in that case, I'm not sure what the password is for at boot ?
[20:25] <Maka> and multiarch working either
[20:25] <kvothetech> Maka: ?
[20:25] <lkj> I thought I selected 'encrypt home folder' at install time and this is why I ended up with
[20:26] <b14d3> GunArm: How're things going?
[20:26] <antonio_> what do I need to do to be able to export to mp4 with handbrake?
[20:26] <Jordan_U> lkj: Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab ?
[20:26] <Maka> kvothehech: can't install it
[20:27] <lkj> Jordan_U,    http://pastebin.com/gUrfHgE3
[20:27] <Maka> apt-get says ia32-libs-multiarch isn't available
[20:30] <|Uzi|> I'm having a black and white line image as my computer starts.    Does anyone know what I'm talking about and how to fix it ?
[20:30] <antonio_> anyone here use Handbrake?
[20:30] <MirPooBuntu> i do
[20:30] <venky10> Hi. I have a web based flash player for my website that has a playlist of songs that it has to play in an xml file. However, the xml file is cached on my local machine and whenever I upload the new xml playlist file to the server, I have to do a hard refresh (clear out cache) to get the new playlist. Any idea how to force the html page to refresh the xml file as well ??
[20:31] <lkj> Jordan_U,  Any ideas?
[20:31] <lkj> I just need to change this password. I know what the current one is
[20:31] <FlowRiser> venky10, how do you load the xml into the html file, in the first place ?
[20:32] <madinc> i need a example of a xboxdrv configuration file for a car racing game any help please.
[20:32] <ocontant> lkj passwd
[20:32] <venky10> FlowRiser, an argument to the flash player
[20:32] <lkj> oconnore, no
[20:32] <bambu> Hi
[20:32] <lkj> ocontant, ^^
[20:33] <FlowRiser> venky10, you can use javascript: "onRefresh{ rewrite_argument(); }
[20:33] <FlowRiser> venky10, i did something similar a while back
[20:33] <FlowRiser> venky10, can't remember the syntax exactly, but it should be there;
[20:34] <FlowRiser> venky10, search w3schools
[20:34] <venky10> FlowRiser, thanks. Will look into it
[20:35] <lkj> Hi, is there a way to change the encrypted home dir password that you need to enter at boot?
[20:35] <|Uzi|> I'm having a black and white line image as my computer starts.    Does anyone know what I'm talking about and how to fix it ?
[20:35] <|Uzi|> should i take a pic ?
[20:35] <bambu> I started ddrescue on one hardrive, and need to continue the image on a second hardrive. The first is nearly full.
[20:36] <FlowRiser> |Uzi|, yes pls :)
[20:36] <maxb> lkj: I'd imagine generally it's supposed to be the same as the user's login password, and is probably changed automatically along with the login password in most cases
[20:36] <bambu> Any idea if this is possible?
[20:36] <lkj> maxb, different password
[20:36] <lkj> had to set it at install time
[20:36] <ocontant> lkj did you google your question^
[20:36] <lkj> yes I did
[20:36] <ocontant> how you didn't find anything?
[20:37] <maxb> lkj: I don't have any machines using encrypted home, I only use encrypted subfolder. Does ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase still exist in a encrypted whole homedir setup?
[20:37] <FlowRiser> lkj, is it the same password as the super user one ?
[20:37] <lkj> ocontant, no
[20:37] <ocontant> https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CD4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F33730%2Fwill-changing-password-re-encrypt-my-home-directory&ei=9l_bUIWcNePn0gGp6YDYCQ&usg=AFQjCNHnrAn5QyidvE9dGjlcZUpuoozSsA&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.dmQ
[20:37] <lkj> FlowRiser, I'm not awaare of a superuser
[20:38] <FlowRiser> lkj, when you call sudo, is it the same password ?
[20:38] <maxb> The superuser is root. It usually doesn't *have* a password in a typical Ubuntu setup/
[20:38] <lkj> ocontant,  I'm worried that that is something differnet
[20:39] <lkj> Some people are telling me that my home dir sin't encrytpted
[20:39] <lkj> I don't really know what has hapened
[20:39] <lkj> which is why i am struggling with google
[20:39] <nlux_> how do I ajust screen brightness?
[20:39] <nlux_> oh lol
[20:40] <lkj> I check the 'encrypt home foler' box at install time and it told me to pick a password. I know need to enter this at boot time
[20:40] <lkj> and I want to change it
[20:40] <ocontant> lkj
[20:40] <ocontant> let see if you are encrypted then
[20:40] <maxb> lkj: I don't have any machines using encrypted home, I only use encrypted subfolder. Does ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase still exist in a encrypted whole homedir setup?
[20:40] <ocontant> ls ~/.* and tell me if you see .ecryptfs folder
[20:40] <ocontant> maxb too fast for me :P
[20:41] <madinc> i need a example of a xboxdrv configuration file for a car racing game any help please?
[20:41] <bambu> Hello?
[20:41] <wdp_> is that a question?
[20:41] <nlux_> I can't seem to be able to adjust brightness...
[20:42] <budtuba> Hello, what does this dialog mean? "System program problem detected, Do you want to report the problem now?"  This just appeared on my computer.
[20:42] <FlowRiser> nlux_, search for brightness in dash :-?
[20:42] <lkj> maxb yes
[20:42] <nlux_> FlowRiser: it doesn't work at all
[20:43] <ocontant> budtuba that one of your application crashed
[20:43] <johan> how do i restore from a faild install of third party nvidia drivers?
[20:43] <maxb> lkj: Then, I believe 'ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase' should do what you need
[20:43] <Jordan_U> lkj: You definitely have an encrypted root filesystem, not an encrypted home directory. (Well, you may *also* have a separately encrypted home drirectory, but you certainly have an encrypted root FS).
[20:43] <FlowRiser> nlux_, what video card do you have ? ati, nvidia.. ?
[20:44] <nlux_> amd radeon 7000 series
[20:44] <budtuba> ocontant: is it possible to learn which one crashed?
[20:44] <nlux_> amd radeon hd 7000 series*
[20:44] <FlowRiser> nlux_, run amdccle
[20:44] <Jordan_U> maxb: Since lkj wants to change their LUKS password, that's not the right command.
[20:44] <maxb> Jordan_U: Where is LUKS mentioned?
[20:44] <ocontant> budtuba you should first investigate /var/log and check the file message and any other file you feel could be related
[20:44] <|Uzi|> ah sorry brb flow  (forgot i asked question)
[20:44] <nlux_> command not found
[20:45] <nlux_> :< FlowRiser
[20:45] <kid22> good afternoon everyone
[20:45] <FlowRiser> nlux_, you have the fglrx drivers installed ?
[20:45] <madinc> hi guys i need a example of a xboxdrv configuration file for a car racing game any help please?
[20:45] <TheHustle> Hi
[20:45] <maxb> Jordan_U: Based on lkj's mention of using 'encrypt home folder' when installing Ubuntu, I think we're dealing with ecryptfs, not LUKS
[20:45] <petersaints> I'm trying to mount glusterfs on boot (Ubuntu 12.10 running both server and client) but it doesn't work. If after mount I make sudo mount -a than it picks up what I defined in fstab and works fine. Anyone with the same problem?
[20:45] <FlowRiser> nlux_, you can just change the brightness from amdcccle
[20:46] <FlowRiser> |Uzi|, I'm not going anywhere :P
[20:46] <nlux_> FlowRiser: It won't work but thanks
[20:46] <Jordan_U> maxb: "/lastlog lkj" to see the whole conversation. lkj is (or at least was) confused about what they have.
[20:47] <lkj> surely it's encryfs?
[20:48] <fabio> tina.org
[20:48] <ocontant> lkj i feel like encryption is overkill for you and more complex for your day to day.  Maybe you should consider to deencrypt your system.
[20:48] <lkj> ubuntu-netbook:~$ ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
[20:48] <lkj> Old wrapping passphrase:
[20:48] <lkj> New wrapping passphrase:
[20:48] <lkj> New wrapping passphrase (again):
[20:48] <lkj> Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]
[20:48] <FloodBot1> lkj: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:48] <lkj> Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
[20:49] <madinc> hi guys i need a example of a xboxdrv configuration file for a car racing game any help please?
[20:49] <bambu> Can you see my messages?
[20:49] <Jordan_U> lkj: maxb: Actually, I was just going off of the fact that your root filesystem is mounted from /dev/mapper and the fact that you asked about a password "at boot". It may be that you just have root on LVM or similar without LUKS, so let's confirm what you have.
[20:49] <FlowRiser> bambu, yes
[20:50] <ViaNocturna85> bambu: we can
[20:50] <bambu> No answer, then?
[20:50] <Jordan_U> lkj: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid".
[20:50] <bambu> I asked in #linux, and #ubuntu
[20:50] <bambu> no one ever responded, so ;p
[20:50] <TheLordOfTime> !test | bambu
[20:51] <bambu> I guess I'll just buy a new HD and wait.
[20:51] <TheLordOfTime> bambu, your questions are getting caught in the flood occasionally you have to repeat your question
[20:51] <TheLordOfTime> bambu, can you repeat your question please?
[20:51] <Jordan_U> bambu: Did you have ddrescue create a log file?
[20:51] <lkj> Jordan_U,  http://pastebin.com/b8UrxGZe
[20:51] <bambu> Jordan_U, Of course ;)
[20:51] <bambu> I thopught I could just move it...
[20:51] <bambu> It would start at the last part.
[20:52] <FlowRiser> bambu, you made me lol
[20:52] <MirPooBuntu> how can i get it so that grub doesnt boot silently
[20:52] <MirPooBuntu> grub2 that is
[20:52] <Jordan_U> bambu: Then yes you can continue from another hard drive. Does the second hard drive have enough room for the full image or are you trying to split the image between two drives? Splitting between two drives might be difficult.
[20:53] <bambu> Jordan_U, The latter. The first HD (120GB) is nearly full.
[20:53] <bambu> Jordan_U, I might just buy IDE to USB and a 500 GB hardrive. If this won't work...
[20:54] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: during boot or all the time?
[20:54] <madinc> does anybody know or use xboxdrv???
[20:54] <ocontant> madinc it is not xbox channel
[20:54] <DeliriumTremens> but he had three question marks
[20:54] <ocontant> i've seen your question for like 2h now and nobody knew about it
[20:54] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85:  huh
[20:55] <madinc> ocontant : this is in the ubuntu repos
[20:55] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85: the quiet command in grub is what i want to remove
[20:55] <FlowRiser> |UzI|, have something for us ?
[20:55] <MirPooBuntu> or silent
[20:55] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: Well you want to see output right? during 1 boot or that it does it all the time?
[20:55] <lkj> So I think I have an encyrpted home folder that requires a password at boot to unencrypt and/or mount?
[20:55] <|UzI|> FlowRiser:   http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Roguewardom/2012-12-2614-46-43774.jpg
[20:55] <lkj> as per the default if checking the 'encrypt home folder' box at install time
[20:55] <MirPooBuntu> see the output all the time at boot
[20:56] <|UzI|> if i leave my mouse alone it will hang on that . as soon as i move it it starts going to the login screen.
[20:56] <FlowRiser> |UzI|, Yes, i do know that. It appeared on a very old laptop
[20:56] <lkj> I'm struggling to find documentation for something that is almost default at install time
[20:56] <bambu> I'd prefer to do it with the drives I have. I broke my last IDE/SATA to USB :p
[20:56] <Jordan_U> lkj: That confirms that you have LUKS. Now let's find out if you *also* have ecryptfs.
[20:56] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: edit the file /etc/default/grub and you see the line 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT'...there you see 'quit'...remove that, then run the command 'sudo update-grub'
[20:56] <|UzI|> I'd like to fix it.  My father in law is over and sorta interested in linux but that startup bug makes him think linux is buggy
[20:57] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: 'quiet' I mean
[20:57] <Jordan_U> lkj: Please pastebin the output of "mount".
[20:57] <MirPooBuntu> thanks
[20:57] <lkj> Jordan_U,  ok, thanks, I guess that's what happens when checing the encrypt home dir box at install time then
[20:57] <FlowRiser> |UzI|, To be honest, i don't really know the problems source, but it ocurred after i replaced the laptops hdd with one that i preinstalled a linux os
[20:57] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: you're welcome
[20:57] <DeliriumTremens> "but that startup bug makes him think linux is buggy"
[20:57]  * DeliriumTremens head asplode
[20:57] <FlowRiser> |UzI|, what did you do to it ? :-?
[20:58] <ikonia> |UzI|: there are some bugs with linux, and certain video cards, which include issues such as your own
[20:58] <ikonia> |UzI|: could you tell me what video card is in that machine please.
[20:58] <DeliriumTremens> this steak that's made of meat makes me think this steak is meaty
[20:58] <ikonia> DeliriumTremens: please stop with this, he's got a valid issue and wants help
[20:58] <ikonia> DeliriumTremens: your pointless comments don't help
[20:58] <DeliriumTremens> my bad
[20:58] <lkj> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/85tFfYgM
[20:58] <FlowRiser> DeliriumTremens, also, it floods the chat even more
[20:59] <|UzI|> I'm trying to remember.  I think it's Geforce FX 5200
[20:59] <ikonia> |UzI|: it's worth checking, it's important to look at the possible solutions
[20:59] <Jordan_U> lkj: So, you have *both* a LUKS encrypted root fileystem, and ecryptfs home directory encryption on top of that.
[20:59] <FlowRiser> |UzI|, how did you install linux on it ?
[21:00] <lkj> Jordan_U, ok. SO what is the bootime password actually doing/
[21:00] <lkj> ?
[21:00] <ocontant> lkj give you access to your filesystem
[21:00] <ocontant> to boot linux
[21:00] <|UzI|> I formarted and parted the HD then installed like anyone else
[21:00] <Jordan_U> lkj: It is decrypting your root filesystem.
[21:01] <FlowRiser> |UzI|, on that actual machine, or on another machine ? ;-?
[21:01] <lkj> ok
[21:01] <ikonia> |UzI|: ok, lets try a basic as you don't have the card details
[21:01] <lkj> How can I change this password?
[21:01] <|UzI|> on this machine
[21:01] <ikonia> !nomodeset | |UzI|
[21:01] <MirPooBuntu> there
[21:01] <Bubo> How do I make a new user that will only have certain permissions in 1 folder and he can't do anything else?
[21:01] <MirPooBuntu> splash=0
[21:01] <MirPooBuntu> \o/
[21:01] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: all sorted?
[21:01] <dr_willis> Bubo:  do what in the folder exactly?
[21:01] <b14d3> GunArm: Any word?
[21:01] <Jordan_U> lkj: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95137/how-to-change-luks-passphrase
[21:02] <|UzI|> Ikonia :  It's showing up as a FX 5200
[21:02] <GunArm> b14d3: that didn't do it. thanks for the help though, i put a thread on ubuntuforums
[21:02] <ikonia> |UzI|: check the url ubottu sent you - try that as your first port of call
[21:02] <Jordan_U> lkj: I would try with GNOME Disk Utility first so there's less chance of user-error.
[21:02] <ocontant> bubo, local security is pretty hard, if you allow someone to have a local access, he has the potential to be able to overcome any user security you put in place.
[21:02] <b14d3> GunArm: Ok, sorry I couldn't be more help
[21:02] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85:  i think so
[21:02] <Bubo> dr_willis use psftp (putty ftp) to download/upload files, use mkdir, rm, vi (to create new fiels) only in that folder but not being to execute them
[21:02] <FlowRiser> !lightdm | FlowRiser
[21:02] <MirPooBuntu> will find out if the swap trick will work
[21:03] <FlowRiser> !lightmd
[21:03] <FlowRiser> !lightdm
[21:03] <Bubo> being able*
[21:03] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85: could you take a look at my fstab and see if both of my swap partitions are sorted out?  i would greatly appreciate it
[21:03] <ocontant> give him access only via FTP then
[21:03]  * FlowRiser realizes he's one of the few that knows about lightdm.
[21:03] <TheLordOfTime> FlowRiser, can we help you with something?
[21:03] <lkj> Jordan_U, how do I start gnome disk utility from the CLI?
[21:03] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: Sure, what was wrong with them?
[21:04] <FlowRiser> TheLordOfTime, sure
[21:04] <lkj> gnome-disk-utility is not found
[21:04] <Jordan_U> lkj: palimpsest
[21:04] <madinc> does anybody know or use xboxdrv???
[21:05] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85:  i have a 400mb swap partiton on /dev/sda5 but i added another 2GB swap partiton on /dev/sda3 because i kept going into swap and maxing it out
[21:05] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85: http://paste.opensuse.org/52688470
[21:05] <FlowRiser> TheLordOfTime, i'm working on a lightdm greeter, don't know how to package it;In action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBFlNp13MQ0
[21:05] <GunArm> b14d3: no worries, thanks for the suggestions
[21:05] <lkj> Jordan_U, that command is not found
[21:05] <dr_willis> Bubo:  rbash can restirct shell commands. but last i looked vi also had the ability to run arbitary shell commands that may defeat using rbash.
[21:05] <kid22> hmm...
[21:06] <TheLordOfTime> FlowRiser, you may want to ask in #ubuntu-packaging for getting help with packaging stuff.
[21:06] <Bubo> dr_willis i will check rbash, thanks
[21:06] <FlowRiser> TheLordOfTime, i know ... i followed the documentation, didn't make any sense to what i need to do
[21:07] <TheLordOfTime> FlowRiser, they can walk you through it
[21:07] <BOOTMGR> Can anyone help with a boot manger?
[21:07] <TheLordOfTime> or try to explain it better.
[21:07] <FlowRiser> TheLordOfTime, ok then, i'll give it a show
[21:07] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: Looks fine to me
[21:07] <kid22> anyone here redhat certified
[21:07] <vnrm> hi everybody, can anyone answer me, why (x)ubuntu 12.10 its without ascii armor address mapping and aslr in libc?
[21:07] <kid22> =)
[21:07] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: you have a swap on sda3 and 5
[21:07] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85:  thanks
[21:07] <Jordan_U> lkj: If you run "palimpsest" (*not* "gksudo palimpsest" ) from a terminal does it tell you what package to install to get it?
[21:07] <MirPooBuntu> ViaNocturna85: correct
[21:08] <ThinkT510> kid22: this is a ubuntu support channel
[21:08] <lkj> Jordan_U, no, it is just 'not found'
[21:08] <ViaNocturna85> MirPooBuntu: but yes, looks fine
[21:08] <lkj> Jordan_U, I already have the gnome-disk-utility installed though
[21:08] <maxb> It's 'gnome-disks' not 'palimpsest' these days
[21:09] <ViaNocturna85> anyway, Im off...happy holidays all
[21:09] <lkj> nice
[21:09] <Jordan_U> maxb: Thanks :)
[21:09] <|UzI|> ikonia :  My video card drivers are installed (i had to look up the nvida driver on this pc to tell you.  That's why I said I couldn't recall.   "Note that this option is sometimes needed for nVidia cards when using the default "nouveau" drivers. Installing proprietary nvidia drivers usually makes this option no longer necessary, so it may not be needed to make this option permanent, just for one boot until you installed the nvidia driv
[21:09] <|UzI|> ers."    My question for this is why will this help if my video is setup and the gfx drivers properly installed ?
[21:10] <ikonia> |UzI|: I may not have the full picture here, what point do you get the image you posted ?
[21:10] <|UzI|> Right before my login screen.
[21:11] <dr_willis> |UzI|:  if you are refering to the nomodeset option. ive often had to use it to install. and use it untill i get the nvidia drivers going.  but ive not had to do so with the 12.10 release and my nvidia systems. Older ssytems i did.
[21:11] <|UzI|> I'd say during post(im not a total noob - uses freebsd)
[21:11] <ikonia> |UzI|: so do you get all the boot splash stuff, and then the actual login prompt just loads like that
[21:11] <lkj> i still cant see where to change the pass in that interface
[21:11] <lkj> it's not the same as the askubuntu link pic
[21:11] <|UzI|> I don't get a bootsplash at all that's the odd part.
[21:12] <|UzI|> it's not showing post but my drivers are installed
[21:12] <ikonia> |UzI|: ok, so try the option ubottu just gave you
[21:12] <ikonia> |UzI|: lets see how that improves/or not thing
[21:12] <|UzI|> ok
[21:12] <dr_willis> the nvidia drivers often break/fight with/mess up   plymouth so you dont get the lovely ubuntu.... boot animation.
[21:12] <madinc>  this is my first time here i saw so many different questions that i thought i could ask anything ubuntu related
[21:12] <hjubal> hi, what is the right way to install a Python module from PyPI without messing things up with apt?
[21:12] <lkj> thanks for the help Jordan_U
[21:14] <|UzI|> looks like i need to edit this :   gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[21:14] <|UzI|> correct?
[21:15] <ikonia> |UzI|: yes,
[21:15] <|UzI|> ok good glad im on the right path
[21:17] <kevo_> Can someone help me out here I want to remove Pulseaudio from my Ubuntu 12.10 and only use Alsa.
[21:17] <kevo_> Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
[21:17] <usr13> kevo_: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[21:17] <Jordan_U> kevo_: Why do you want to remove pulseaudio?
[21:17] <kevo_> usr13: If I do that will Alsa work automatically or is there something I need to install.
[21:18] <dr_willis> every time ive seen someone want to remove pulse audio. they break their whole system
[21:18] <kevo_> Jordan_U: I get too much static and the audio just sounds like crap.
[21:18] <Jordan_U> kevo_: Do you have any reason to believe that pulseaudio is at fault rather than ALSA?
[21:18] <usr13> kevo_: alsa will just work.
[21:19] <kevo_> Jordan_U: Well I'm running an Nvidia GTX 670 FTW 2GB HDMI out audio and it just seems that everything I run causes audio problems like movies, games, anything.
[21:20] <Jordan_U> kevo_: HDMI audio out is not very mature yet in GNU/Linux. I doubt that pulseaudio is at fault here.
[21:20] <|UzI|> how do i use pastebin to link you guys?  I used to use this when they first started and all you did was paste the text and then  copy the link
[21:21] <TheLordOfTime> !pastebin | |UzI|
[21:21] <TheLordOfTime> !pastebinit > |UzI|
[21:21] <bambu> Jordan_U, The first HD (120GB) is nearly full. I'd like to continue on a second.
[21:21] <usr13> kevo_: I'm inclined to agree with Jordan_U, but, nothing beats a try but a failure.
[21:21] <TheLordOfTime> |UzI|, to paste from command line you can use pastebinit
[21:21] <TheLordOfTime> i told ubottu to send you the factoid dat
[21:21] <TheLordOfTime> a
[21:23] <|UzI|> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1468161/
[21:23] <kevo_> Do I need to reboot after removing pulseaudio?
[21:23] <|UzI|> thats my grub
[21:23] <kevo_> My audio isn't working now haha.
[21:23] <usr13> kevo_: nope
[21:24] <usr13> kevo_: Well, I guess I could be wrong....  But are you sure?  play  /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[21:24] <usr13> kevo_:                                              Test  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[21:25] <xibalba> hey folks, trying to install ipplan here. getting some issues was wondering if someone could look at my pastebin link
[21:25] <xibalba> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1468166/
[21:25] <usr13> kevo_: (sudo apt-get install sox #If need be...
[21:25] <kevo_> usr13: I'm new to Linux, how do I go about doing that?
[21:25] <kevo_> Open Terminal and run...?
[21:25] <usr13> kevo_: Open a terminal ... Yes
[21:26] <usr13> play  /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[21:26] <|UzI|> usr13:  I fixed my issue with my printer last night.  All I had to do was install the LDP (cant recall if im using correct name)  driver and then the CUPS driver..  the cups printer shows up on the printers list.   I had to edit the USB port and change it to samba and everything worked.
[21:26] <|UzI|> typing that out took longer than it took to do it .
[21:26] <xibalba> i dont get why it's in the apt-repo but has unmet dependencies?
[21:26] <xibalba> shouldn't it just grab the deps and install em?
[21:26] <usr13> |UzI|: Awesome!
[21:27] <kevo_> Says The program"play" is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install sox
[21:27] <xibalba> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[21:27] <usr13> kevo_: You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install sox
[21:27] <darkhalo117> Tried installing alsa audio drivers for ubuntu 12.04 because it was stated it works better with wine emulation. Now my PA daemon doesn't run. Now my audio doesn't work at all. Any way I could just reinstall pulse audio?
[21:27] <kevo_> Yay okay that worked but only through my headphones.
[21:27] <usr13> darkhalo117: Yes
[21:28] <kevo_> Now how do I configure the sound to output through HDMI
[21:28] <usr13> kevo_: alsamixer
[21:28] <kevo_> MAN THAT SOUNDS MUCH MORE CLEAR
[21:28] <usr13> kevo_: Well, there you go...
[21:29] <|UzI|> Ikonia :  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"  added on to the quiet splash  ?
[21:29] <kevo_> I'm in alsamixer...
[21:29] <xibalba> should i take a number?
[21:29] <kevo_> What do I need to change?
[21:29] <xibalba> i'm sure someone http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1468166/ knows how to resolve this easily
[21:29] <lesshaste> how can you tell if your hard drive is ide or sata without opening the case?
[21:30] <usr13> kevo_: Turn up master, PCM  etc....
[21:30] <usr13> kevo_: Make sure it's not muted
[21:30] <gac> lesshaste: use the disk utility? i think it tells you what interface
[21:30] <gac> lesshaste: or, use it to find the model number and google it
[21:30] <usr13> kevo_: (m to toggle mute on or off)
[21:30] <lesshaste> gac, what is the disk utility called from the command line?
[21:30] <gac> pass, it's a GUI tool
[21:31] <gac> hdparm -I /dev/sda or something should work from a command line
[21:31] <|UzI|> nm stuoidquestion
[21:31] <|UzI|> haha
[21:31] <usr13> I have to go for now.  I have installed Wine and AcetoneIso. I have mounted the iso-image. And now I do not know what should I do to get started. Could anyone help me?

[21:36] <Uzi> Didn't work
[21:36] <Uzi> I mean it didn't solve the issue

[21:40] <seoushi-temp> Hi, I just got a macbook air and installed ubuntu 12.10 on it except it doesn't detect the os on load (no boot loader). I tried using boot-repair and it detected efi but it still didn't work.  Any ideas on how to get the efi bootloader recognized?
[21:41] <himuro> I need some help on installing kubuntu to my usb stick.
[21:41] <seoushi-temp> himuro, what os are you coming from?
[21:42] <himuro> win7
[21:42] <seoushi-temp> it would probably be easiest to us unetbootin
[21:42] <DJHenjin> Hello, I have a question, and its going to take me a couple minutes to type it all up
[21:43] <himuro> I ve go unetbootin but I dont understand that
[21:43] <Uzi> is Ikonia still here ?
[21:43] <Uzi> he was helping me
[21:44] <steven_> Anyone here program C++ by any chance?
[21:44] <seoushi-temp> himuro, whats the issue? select the distro or the iso if you have already downloaded it then select the usb stick at the bottom reboot and select the usb stick from the drive select.
[21:44] <seoushi-temp> steven_, yes I do
[21:45] <DJHenjin> I set up a new user on my ubuntu 12 server for SSH and SFTP access, and I am trying to restrict the SFTP access to only the users home directory, I followed this tut http://www.ericstockwell.com/?p=54 to try and do it. but when i log in with SFTP i get "Error, Server unexpectedly closed network connection" Before I followed that tutorial, I made sure that the user could log into SFTP, but since adding the Math User ... part i can no longer log int
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> steven_  #c++

[21:45] <steven_> alright

[21:47] <Uzi> usr13 you there ?
[21:47] <Rene> hi guys! i have a quick question. When doing a dist-upgrade, do i have to upgrade to every release, or can i skip releases in between?
[21:49] <MonkeyDust> !update > Rene
[21:50] <Uzi> so after changing my grub to  nomodeset  i still have :  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Roguewardom/2012-12-2614-46-43774.jpg
[21:50] <Uzi> i had it on the reboot saw it then and then saw it before the login screen
[21:51] <Uzi> "reboot now"   then bam http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Roguewardom/2012-12-2614-46-43774.jpg   then rebooting black screen where post should show and then http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Roguewardom/2012-12-2614-46-43774.jpg
[21:51] <rats__> nick ratseyesoup
[21:51] <ikonia> Uzi: ok, so that's fine, one change done, lets move to another one
[21:51] <Uzi> ok
[21:51] <ikonia> Uzi: can you login to this system at all, eg: maybe using ssh
[21:51] <Uzi> i'm using it NOW
[21:52] <DJHenjin> can anyone help me with my SFTP issue please?
[21:52] <Uzi> like im on the system talking to you
[21:52] <Uzi> everything else is fine
[21:52] <ikonia> Uzi: just the login box that's a problem then
[21:52] <Uzi> not the login box  ..  before
[21:52] <Uzi> sec i'll take a video of this lol
[21:52] <ikonia> Uzi: no need
[21:53] <DJHenjin> i am trying to jail a specific user into their home directory with SFTP, but since using this tutorial, http://www.ericstockwell.com/?p=54 that user cannot log into SFTp anymore
[21:53] <ikonia> Uzi: lets just chat and work this through
[21:53] <ikonia> Uzi: so do you actually get a valid login prompt ?
[21:53] <Uzi> yes
[21:53] <ikonia> Uzi: ok, so it's the preboot/bootsplash that's a problem
[21:53] <ikonia> correct ?
[21:53] <Uzi> pls wait  (tired of explaining video make it clr
[21:54] <ikonia> Uzi: I'm not watching a video, I'll park it there
[21:54] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: what SFTP client is the jailed user using?
[21:54] <FlowRiser> ikonia, It's the splash screen, but i'm just not sure why it would happen
[21:54] <DJHenjin> Filezilla
[21:54] <FlowRiser> ikonia, it happened to one of my laptops
[21:55] <ikonia> FlowRiser: if it's the splashscreen it will be a framebuffer problem
[21:55] <ikonia> which as this is an older nvidia card, does seem more probable
[21:55] <FlowRiser> ikonia, but it's just an estethic thingy, everything is normal from then (also, my video card was an old one)
[21:55] <ikonia> FlowRiser: seems very reasonable and inline with some known issues
[21:56] <LouisWust> when the user attempts to connect using Filezilla, what error does FileZilla report?
[21:56] <DJHenjin> Error:	Server unexpectedly closed network connection
[21:56] <DJHenjin> Error:	Could not connect to server
[21:56] <DJHenjin> LouisWust
[21:56] <FlowRiser> ikonia, yes, i searched about it, but why waste so much time fixing an issue that is shown for about 10-15 seconds ? :-?
[21:57] <ikonia> FlowRiser: well, that's up to some people and what's important to them, I see no problem fixing it, or not
[21:57] <DJHenjin> between checking SFTP before following that tut, and after, there were no changes to FileZilla's config for that user
[21:57] <ikonia> the problem won't be the client
[21:58] <Jordan_U> ikonia: If Uzi comes back, having grub hand off a text mode to the kernel might help, uncommenting GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub will accomplish this.
[21:58] <ikonia> DJHenjin: the problem will be the server not being able to chroot and use internal-sftp
[21:58] <dr_willis> I tend to fix splash screen issues by just removeing plymouth. ;)
[21:58] <DJHenjin> ikonia, I know, just letting you guys know there are no changes
[21:58] <ikonia> Jordan_U: solid advice as always
[21:58] <DJHenjin> so ikonia, how does one go about fixing that
[21:59] <riderplus> after an update the computer icon has disappeared on 12.10
[21:59] <riderplus> i can't find it in dconf-editor
[21:59] <riderplus> nor in gconf-editor/ gnome-tweak tool
[21:59] <riderplus> is there a way to bring it back?
[21:59] <dr_willis> riderplus:  what computer icon do you mean?
[22:00] <Uzi> sorry Ikonia
[22:00] <riderplus> there is in gnome 3 the option of showing desktop icons
[22:00] <riderplus> home icon, trash, computer
[22:00] <ikonia> riderplus: yes, there is
[22:00] <riderplus> and mounted devices
[22:00] <ikonia> Uzi: no need to apologise
[22:00] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: just to be sure, did you restart the ssh daemon after editing sshd_config?
[22:00] <Uzi> well if anyone wants to:  http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v125/Roguewardom/?action=view&current=2012-12-2615-53-52930.mp4   lol
[22:00] <riderplus> the computer icon just disappeared
[22:00] <riderplus> and there's no way of bringing it back, is it?
[22:01] <DJHenjin> i ran 'restart ssh' which showed a new process ID after running, yer LouisWust
[22:01] <dr_willis> riderplus:  you mean the 'option to show the computer icon'  has been removed? or are all the options gone?
[22:01] <ikonia> Uzi: Jordan_U suggested pushing grub to boot the sequence through a console rather than the boot splash
[22:01] <riderplus> the option is gone
[22:01] <ikonia> Uzi: Jordan_U's suggetion was "uncommenting GRUB_TERMINAL=console  in /etc/default/grub will accomplish this.
[22:01] <ikonia> "
[22:01] <dr_willis> having a home, and a computer icon both.. seems a little redundant. ;)
[22:01] <riderplus> dr_willis: i realy liked that icon
[22:01] <ikonia> Uzi: I assume you know you have to rebuild the grub config after you change /etc/default/grub
[22:02] <Uzi> yes
[22:02] <riderplus> is there a shortcut?
[22:02] <ikonia> Uzi: just checking
[22:02] <Uzi> np :)
[22:02] <dr_willis> riderplus:  the whole idea of icons on the desktop is also slowly going away. There are some indicator applets that add the classic places menu item to the panel.
[22:02] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: i'm going to take a moment and run through that tutorial myself, to see if i get the same problem
[22:02] <DJHenjin> alright, thank you LouisWust
[22:02] <dr_willis> i cant even reber what the 'computer' icon showed..
[22:02] <riderplus> I don't like an empty desktop
[22:03] <mario_> hello all
[22:03] <riderplus> so ... is there a way to bring the visibility of the computer icon back?
[22:03] <riderplus> i couldn't find it
[22:03] <dr_willis> riderplus:  fullscreen your apps ;)
[22:03]  * Uzi reading up
[22:03] <dr_willis> riderplus:  could be its been removed. ive not heard any mention of it.  Not really looked either.
[22:03] <dr_willis> riderplus:  the forums or askubuntu.com may make mention of it.
[22:04] <riderplus> i didn't find anything related to

[22:04] <Uzi> how would I push grub to boot the sequence through a console ?    (im changing boot splash back to what it was)
[22:05] <dr_willis> budtuba:  how are you getting sound? laptop? hdmi speakers/monitor? normal analog monitors?

[22:06] <riderplus> when I open nautilus there is a Computer tab
[22:06] <dr_willis> !skype | mario_
[22:06] <budtuba> dr_willis: sound is output through normal emu10k1 ports on the back of the pc to a set of speakers. The sound worked when I rebooted into Windows XP earlier.
[22:06] <riderplus> under Devices
[22:07] <dr_willis> budtuba:  i had a WEIRD system once ages ago.. if i booted straight to Linux from a powered off state. my sound would  work. If i booted to windows then rebooted  and went into linux. sound would not work. ;) windows set the sound card settings in some weird way.
[22:08] <mario_> i try with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype but i have error sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[22:08] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: can you connect via SFTP locally? like 'sftp johndoe@localhost'
[22:08] <ikonia> dr_willis: that was a well documented bug
[22:08] <mario_> my error is : E: Unable to locate package skype
[22:08] <dr_willis> budtuba:  has sound ever worked on that box? has it ever worked with any live cds ? thats a fairly old sound card isent it? i would think it would work well by this time.
[22:09] <guntbert> mario_: did you see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype ?
[22:09] <DJHenjin> LouisWust "Write failed :Broken pipe, Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
[22:09] <budtuba> dr_willis: this pc uses an old creative audigy2 card. What's odd here is sound had been working in ubuntu until a couple weeks ago, my dad says.
[22:09] <mario_> guntbert: yes
[22:10] <budtuba> dr_willis: aye it should be pretty mundane.
[22:10] <dr_willis> budtuba:  i would test with a live cd. see if it has sound.  My AUdigy2 worked great in linux.
[22:10] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: what does 'service ssh status' give you?
[22:10] <guntbert> mario_: and did you successfully add that repository?
[22:10] <Uzi> sorry Ikonia  i'm going to have to try to fix thislater thank you for your help (xmas extended family want me to hang out
[22:10] <Uzi> maybe see you on here some time soon :)
[22:10] <dr_willis> budtuba:  its possible the card has died.  rare. but possible. Or theres some wonky cable.
[22:10] <mario_> yes, at second try
[22:10] <DJHenjin> ssh start/running, process 21317
[22:10] <mario_> thanks you very much guntbert
[22:11] <dr_willis> budtuba:  dont do like i did once.. and had a headphone adaptor plugged in.. so i got no sound - since it thought it was sending to the headphones.. ;P
[22:12] <budtuba> dr_willis: yeah, I've got a livecd around here. My dad's a new user & the system has changed since ubuntu was first installed.
[22:12] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: i think i got it, check your sshd_config and make sure you have the right directory in the ChrootDirectory line
[22:13] <guntbert> mario_: and now, when you type         sudo apt-get update    are there any errors?
[22:14] <mario_> guntbert: no, all is ok, and i have succefuly installed my skype, thanks you so much
[22:14] <guntbert> mario_: glad you made it :)
[22:14] <DynamicDesignz> Does anyone know how I can run Ubuntu from a server with a pxe connection?
[22:15] <budtuba> dr_willis: haha, happens to the best of us. :) I found our 12.04 livecd, so I'll test audio with that now.
[22:15] <DJHenjin> LouisWust its set to /home/talesofpirates which is correct
[22:16] <mario_> guntbert: can i add all "partners" for apt-get ?
[22:16] <SpaceRocket> every time I start Ubuntu it asks for my password "unlock the login keyring"
[22:16] <e-i-k-e> hi. i was using tty2 and then logged off. while i'm currently using the "normal" desktop (strg+alt+f7) this seems to prevent standby. when i'm going to standby from "f7" gnome-shell disappears and i'm seeing tty2 asking for a user name
[22:17] <e-i-k-e> any other recommendations than a reboot?
[22:17] <escott> SpaceRocket, you might be able to change preferences in seahorse
[22:17] <guntbert> mario_: you just added the partner repository - that will contain all apps from "partners"
[22:18] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: and does /home/talesofpirates exist? i typo'd my own mkdir command while following the tutorial
[22:18] <DJHenjin> LouisWust Yes, it most certainly does exist
[22:18] <mario_> guntbert: is there one partner repository or more from one ?
[22:18] <e-i-k-e> top says that there are 3 users logged in but lastlog only shows my account "eike             tty2 Mi Dez 26 20:58:18 +0100 2012". not sure why tty2 is still listed as used port. i thought that logout in this interface would be enough
[22:19] <guntbert> mario_: its one repo, containing all applications from "partners"
[22:19] <mario_> !skype | mario_
[22:19] <tupu> Hi, all. I have a problem trying to access my set-top box with Lubuntu. When I mount it, it is mounting it with some gphoto2 and sees all files (including .ini files) as MPEG videos.
[22:19] <ztgu> hello
[22:20] <tupu> Apparently it thinks it's a camera. Is there a way to force it to see it just as a file system? It worked fine with Ubuntu, but now with Lubuntu I have no way of mountin git.
[22:20] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: other than the username (talesofpirates rather than johndoe), did you have to change anything while following the tutorial?
[22:20] <ztgu> Can anyone help me with permissions? can "cd" into /sys/kernel/debug
[22:20] <ztgu> cant*
[22:20] <blenderkid> Hi I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 Studio version. The installation was flawless, but I've got a display problem - all font characters have colored pixel at the edges. It is really tiring to read anything...
[22:20] <tupu> Could I use some other file manager for example?
[22:21] <blenderkid> And I've installed the recommended grafic driver
[22:21] <DJHenjin> LouisWust the username is actually topuser and the home directory /home/talesofpirates other than that. didnt change anything
[22:21] <tupu> The current file manager that I use is PCManFM which seems to be extremely simplified and doesn't allow me to mount it as a file system.
[22:22] <DynamicDesignz> @blenderkid you have to modify xorg
[22:22] <ztgu> Can anyone help me with permissions? I can't "cd" into /sys/kernel/debug
[22:23] <SpaceRocket> escott, what to change ?
[22:23] <DJHenjin> also LouisWust i already had the user set up with rbash to keep the user in the right directory for SSH
[22:23] <guntbert> !repeat | ztgu
[22:23] <ru> can someone help me installing addons for the audioplayer deadbeef?
[22:24] <mario_> ztgu: try sudo cd /sys/kernel/debug
[22:24] <ztgu> I have already tried
[22:24] <mario_> ztgu: you can't enter in /sys/kernel/debug with normal user, you need root
[22:24] <escott> SpaceRocket, you will see that message if either (a) you have passwordless login or (b) your login password is not your keyring password. If (a) you would have to disable password protection on the keyring which kinda defeats the purpose of it. if (b) set the keyring password to match the login password
[22:25] <ztgu> mario_: sys/kernel $ sudo cd debug, sudo: cd: command not found. well sudo is not working. any sugestions?
[22:26] <guntbert> ztgu: you don't really need to enter that directory - you can sudo ls    it, and you can view all files there (with sudo)
[22:26] <leonardpop> Hello! I am installing ubuntu minimal.  I want to choose myself the mail client, messenger, web browser, media player etc. Can someone explain to me how do I do that? Thank you!
[22:26] <SpaceRocket> escott, Gnome2 key storage was different,  but there is no option to change it
[22:27] <guntbert> ztgu: cd is an internal command - so sudo doesn't work
[22:27] <ztgu> I am going to use this command: echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch . But it's not possible
[22:27] <guntbert> ztgu: in that case   echo ON | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[22:28] <djsmithe> hi
[22:29] <ztgu> guntbert: thank you, but why pipe and using this "tee" command?
[22:29] <djsmithe> i'm trying to setup a hotmail account in evolution
[22:29] <djsmithe> i can sent email
[22:29] <DJHenjin> LouisWust any other suggestions
[22:29] <djsmithe> sorry
[22:29] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: how about we try running ssh in the foreground
[22:29] <DJHenjin> ok?
[22:30] <LouisWust> 'service ssh stop' and then '/usr/sbin/sshd -d'
[22:30] <djsmithe> i can receive email
[22:30] <LouisWust> that way we can see if it gives us any error messages
[22:30] <guntbert> ztgu: because sudo works only on the immediatley following command (in this case tee)
[22:30] <djsmithe> but i can't send
[22:30] <escott> mario_, ztgu, sudo -i to get a root shell
[22:30] <DJHenjin> okay, done that
[22:30] <djsmithe> any suggestions?
[22:30] <guntbert> escott: not necessary here
[22:31] <LouisWust> cool, now try connecting using 'ssh topuser@localhost' DJHenjin
[22:31] <LouisWust> from a different shell
[22:31] <thanigai> i have activation of network connection failed from reliance usb modem. can anyone help me out please.
[22:31] <mario_> ztgu: are you have solved problem ?
[22:32] <DJHenjin> ok, still write failed, broken pipe
[22:33] <LouisWust> all right, are there any promising messages in the first shell, DJHenjin? the last couple of lines might have something we need
[22:33] <amaurea> Hi! I'm trying to watch some new dvds I've bought, and most of them work fine. One of them, however, doesn't seem to be mounted properly - the dvd spins up and down a couple of times, and then it gives up. This dvd is brand new, so it shouldn't be damaged (but I guess it might be a defective copy). Are there any more fault-tolerant ways of mounting a dvd than the default auto-mounting?
[22:33] <DJHenjin> bad ownership or modes for chroot directory /home/talesofpirates
[22:33] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: for instance, i got 'safely_chroot: stat("/home/johndo"): No such file or directory' when i misspelled the directory in sshd_config
[22:33] <ikonia> amaurea: it's possible the encyption
[22:33] <DJHenjin> LouisWust see the message above yours
[22:33] <ztgu> mario_: working on it
[22:34] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: excellent, try 'stat /home/talesofpirates'
[22:34] <defice0> [#ubuntu] /set timestamp_format
[22:34] <defice0> [#ubuntu] /set timestamp_format
[22:34] <defice0> [#ubuntu] /set timestamp_format
[22:34] <amaurea> ikonia: All the other dvds in the same dvd set work fine, though. It seems odd that one of them should be completely different. Also, the CSS encryption is not supposed to prevent mounting of the dvd, is it?
[22:34] <LouisWust> and check to see what the Uid: and Gid: fields say
[22:34] <defice0>
[22:34] <defice0> [#ubuntu] /set timestamp_format
[22:35] <DJHenjin> Uid and Gid are both (1000/ topuser)
[22:35] <detrimental> i just installed ubuntu server, ssh. set up password and everything but when i try to connect via laptop on the same network it asked for my password but says the password is invalid. i looked in sshd config and ssh config and password authenicate is set to yes. im conecting like this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:35] <mario_> !repeat | defice0
[22:35] <ikonia> amaurea: encrytption can stop a DVD from mounting, however is this all one boxset ?
[22:35] <guntbert> defice0: kindly stop that
[22:35] <amaurea> ikonia: yes
[22:35] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: aha! try 'chown root:topuser /home/talesofpirates'
[22:35] <mario_> !spam | mario_
[22:35] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: you may also need 'chmod 0755 /home/talesofpirates'
[22:35] <mario_> !flood | mario_
[22:36] <ikonia> amaurea: that is odd, that would lead a bit towards a faulty dvd then
[22:36] <ikonia> !msgthebot > mario_
[22:36] <ikonia> mario_: stop it
[22:36] <ztgu> mario_, guntbert, escott: i just tried to cat the file wothout any luck: cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[22:36] <ztgu> cat: /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: Permission denied
[22:36] <detrimental> anyone ?
[22:36] <ikonia> detrimental: anyone what ?
[22:36] <hauke_> hey, marry christmas to you. i am serching for a tool that can recover data from a USB stick. any suggestions?
[22:36] <escott> ztgu, sudo cat
[22:36] <djsmithe> here are the settings i use

[22:37] <DJHenjin> did both LouisWust Still same issue in FileZilla
[22:37] <leonardpop> Hello! I am installing ubuntu minimal.  I want to choose myself later the mail client, messenger, web browser, media player etc. Can someone explain to me how do I do that? Thank you!
[22:37] <hauke_> ok thanks so far
[22:37] <mario_> ztgu: sorry, but i don't know how to help you
[22:37] <ocontant> detrimental, tell us more ...
[22:37] <guntbert> ztgu: wrong, to write to the file you need what I wrote above, to read it just sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[22:37] <detrimental>  just installed ubuntu server, ssh. set up password and everything but when i try to connect via laptop on the same network it asked for my password but says the password is invalid. i looked in sshd config and ssh config and password authenicate is set to yes. im conecting like this ssh -v username@ip
[22:37] <amaurea> ikonia: Ok, I guess I'll just have to procure a replacement copy through alternative means
[22:38] <ikonia> detrimental: what is the username you are using ?
[22:38] <ztgu> i see
[22:38] <detrimental> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1468311/
[22:38] <ocontant> is username root?
[22:38] <ocontant> or another username?
[22:38] <detrimental> james
[22:38] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: just to make sure the chown and chmod worked, try 'stat /home/talesofpirates' again and verify that Uid has become root and Gid is still topuser
[22:38] <detrimental> on both
[22:38] <ocontant> ok
[22:39] <detrimental><EMAIL_ADDRESS>is what im trying to connect to from my laptop in same network
[22:39] <DJHenjin> yes, that took effect LouisWust, going to run SSH in front again and try the SFTP from another shell
[22:39] <defice0> -quit
[22:39] <ocontant> detrimental: are you sure that you are using the right password ? you can login locally with the same username and password?
[22:39] <detrimental> yes
[22:39] <detrimental> im infrom of my server right now and i got a monitor hooked up
[22:40] <guntbert> detrimental: look what /var/log/auth.log has to say
[22:40] <ikonia> detrimental: is <IP_ADDRESS> the machine you are on, or a remote machine
[22:40] <andy_> hi all
[22:40] <Guest39517> does anyone know how to force 1024x1280 on 12.04 ubuntu
[22:40] <DJHenjin> Thank you Very Much LouisWust !!, Its working now, just had to start SSH, duh...
[22:41] <detrimental> remote
[22:41] <detrimental> one sec
[22:41] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: glad to hear it!
[22:41] <ikonia> detrimental: do you have access to that remote machine at all
[22:41] <ztgu> mario_, guntbert, escott: I am going to switch between GPUs
[22:41] <ocontant> detrimental: ikonia: he says he is in front of the server and able to login locally
[22:42] <detrimental> theres alot in there
[22:42] <DJHenjin> Weird, now when i try to log into topuser on SSH, the putty windows just closes
[22:42] <mario_> ztgu: i'm so sorry, but i don't know how to help you
[22:42] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: yeah, that happens for me, too
[22:42] <ikonia> detrimental: on <IP_ADDRESS> please do "ssh localhost" and try to login
[22:42] <LouisWust> i think it might be by design
[22:42] <ocontant> DJHenjin:  check your authlog and message log file
[22:42] <ikonia> detrimental: top user ?
[22:42] <ikonia> detrimental: sorry not you
[22:42] <detrimental> yes i am infront of the machine with ubuntu server on it. and i am using my laptop looking in /var/log/auth.log now
[22:42] <ikonia> DJHenjin: top user ?
[22:42] <andygig> hi all.. does anyone know how to set new resolution on ubuntu 12.04 which is not default in the list?
[22:42] <guntbert> ztgu: were you able to write into that file now?
[22:42] <andygig> I need 1024x1280
[22:43] <DJHenjin> ikonia, a username i set for a Tales Of Pirates server.
[22:43] <ikonia> DJHenjin: does it have a valid shell ?
[22:43] <DJHenjin> rbash
[22:43] <detrimental> nope cant log in ssh localhost from the server mashine
[22:43] <ikonia> detrimental: rbash.....that probably won't be in the shell file as a valid shell
[22:43] <guntbert> ikonia: a username with blank?
[22:44] <ikonia> detrimental: ok, so we know the problem is with the ssh setup on <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:44] <ikonia> guntbert: pardon ?
[22:44] <detrimental> so its my configuration
[22:44] <L1n0x> hello
[22:44] <DJHenjin> allows SFTP connections only. GRRR. i need to allow SSH, and SFTP
[22:44] <ikonia> detrimental: sshd_config
[22:44] <ocontant> detrimental: do you see a prompt asking for the username?
[22:44] <guntbert> ikonia: I was calling in from the side line about "top user" :-)
[22:44] <L1n0x> what is the german ubuntu irc channel
[22:44] <detrimental> no
[22:44] <andygig> how to change resolution?
[22:45] <ikonia> guntbert: ahh I didn't know if it was "topuser" or "top user"
[22:45] <ocontant> detrimental: that's an important information you said password not working ... you didn't you couldn't tyep anything at all
[22:45] <ztgu> guntbert: No I need to change to file: echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch    to turn on the GPU that is currently disconected.   I did this command becouse of permissions:  echo ON > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch | grep sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitchertoo/
[22:45] <detrimental> sshd_config command not found
[22:45] <guntbert> !de | L1n0x
[22:45] <ocontant> detrimental: do service sshd start
[22:45] <ikonia> detrimental: it's not a command, it's a file
[22:45] <ztgu> guntbert: but to no luck "permission denied"
[22:45] <detrimental> yes i can type a password but the password i set is not working
[22:45] <L1n0x> connect #ubuntu-de
[22:45] <ocontant> detrimental: do service iptables stop   *for testing purpose we disable the firewall temporary*
[22:45] <detrimental> where is the sshd.config
[22:45] <escott> detrimental, /etc/ssh
[22:46] <ikonia> detrimental: it's sshd_config - pleaes try to pay attention
[22:46] <guntbert> ztgu: you are making it complicated, I said type    echo ON | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[22:46] <detrimental> ok sry
[22:46] <detrimental> im in the file now.
[22:46] <guntbert> L1n0x: the command is /join
[22:47] <ikonia> detrimental: is <IP_ADDRESS> an ubuntu machine ?
[22:47] <ztgu> I did but when i "cat" it. it says off
[22:47] <detrimental> yes it has ubuntu server with ssh
[22:47] <DJHenjin> LouisWust probably has to do with the ForceCommand internal-sftp
[22:48] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: agreed, and i think that the intention of the tutorial was to make an sftp-only chrooted user
[22:48] <DJHenjin> yeah, probably
[22:49] <guntbert> ztgu: maybe the setting si wrong - that entry is no regular file, its just an interface to talk to the kernel - but I am off (bedtime) - Good luck!
[22:49] <LouisWust> i think that to properly chroot topuser with a full shell, you'd need to set up a full chroot environment
[22:49] <SpaceRocket> I added the OpenDNS servers IPs in the network manager and even in resolve.conf but when verifying it on the website it fails
[22:49] <DJHenjin> wondering if there is a way to allow it to be SSH and SFTP
[22:49] <ztgu> guntbert: ty 4 ya time
[22:50] <guntbert> ztgu: no problem :)
[22:50] <detrimental> under authentication logingracetime 120 permitrootlogin yes and strictmode is set to yes
[22:50] <ikonia> DJHenjin: you're telling it to use sftp-internal.....that's all it can do
[22:50] <DJHenjin> ikonia, i know. but is there a way to not force just SFTP and allow SSH AND SFTP
[22:50] <andygig> how to change resolution?
[22:51] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: i think the trouble is that to allow ssh, you need to include a lot of extra stuff underneath the chroot directory, like a shell and system libraries and all that
[22:51] <LouisWust> this may be your next step: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot
[22:52] <ikonia> DJHenjin: I don't know, but I don't see how as both ssh/sftp are port 22, so I don't see how you can switch internally with some sort of "flag" to let them know different options are required
[22:53] <LetterRip> hi I have ubuntu installed in both wubi and in a partition, I'd like to remove the partition and return to the windows bootloader and only use the wubi install
[22:53] <LetterRip> any recommended way to do so?
[22:54] <ikonia> LetterRip: re-apply the windows boot loader from the windows install CD with the fixmbr option
[22:54] <escott> DJHenjin, you can do some things with auth_keys files, but what exactly are you trying to do
[22:55] <DJHenjin> escott, I need a user that can access SSH, and SFTP but both limited to just that users home directory
[22:55] <LetterRip> ikonia - not feasible
[22:55] <LetterRip> a) no CD drive
[22:55] <LetterRip> b) windows cd is mia
[22:55] <escott> DJHenjin, but why... what are they supposed to be able to do with ssh in their home directory
[22:55] <LetterRip> missing
[22:55] <ikonia> LetterRip: better mae it feasible then
[22:55] <Khaos> Does anyone know if it is Feasible to run Backtrack under Vbox?
[22:56] <ikonia> make
[22:56] <ikonia> LetterRip: a.) write to microsoft with your key, and they will give you a new CD
[22:56] <ikonia> LetterRip: b.) put the CD onto a USB stick to fix
[22:56] <DJHenjin> escott, to allow them access only to the server software for their game server
[22:56] <LetterRip> ikonia - it is entirely possible to do it via ubuntu usb stick
[22:56] <ikonia> Khaos: yes it is
[22:56] <LetterRip> no need for windows at all
[22:56] <Khaos> Does it operate as its own OS or should i put a platform underneath it?
[22:56] <escott> DJHenjin, but what binaries will they have to run to access their server?
[22:56] <ikonia> LetterRip: sure, you can apply the windows bootloader file from the file system back to the windows mbr
[22:56] <ikonia> Khaos: it runs as it's own oS
[22:56] <DJHenjin> escott the server is self contained, doesnt depend on anything.
[22:57] <Khaos> Good to go, thank you ikonia
[22:57] <ikonia> Khaos: the channel for backtrack help is #backtrack-linux
[22:57] <Khaos> ahah that was what i was going to ask next haha thank you
[22:57] <escott> DJHenjin, so they have a binary written in C that you trust and just want them to be able to trigger it
[22:58] <escott> DJHenjin, would they always execute that binary the same way? or are there changing parameters?
[22:58] <DJHenjin> escott, I will be setting up the server myself. they will only really need access to the config files, and the binary to start and stop the server
[22:58] <escott> DJHenjin, "access to the config files" meaning they need bash and a text editor
[22:59] <DJHenjin> SFTP to be able to upload/download maps/config files
[22:59] <DJHenjin> SSH to trigger the binary only
[22:59] <escott> DJHenjin, in a way this is kinda silly.  I'll upload gcc and debian-bootstrap and install everything I want within that chroot
[23:01] <DJHenjin> escott, If they knew how to do anything more than start and stop a server, they wouldnt have hired me to configure, setup, create the server
[23:01] <francesco_> list
[23:02] <Khaos> Ikonia: i launched to the backtrack room, but it  says i cannot send msgs, ... im probably being retarded, but is there something funky i have to do to be allowed access to a given channel?
[23:03] <L1n0x> pls say the backtrack channel
[23:03] <voxcroix> BT5 r3 Install backTrack icon is still there after installation
[23:03] <escott> DJHenjin, so what? I dont get the point. If they are sophisticated the proposed chroot+upload does not prevent them from running arbitrary code. If they are not sophisticated then basic unix permissions should prevent them from getting into anything they shouldn't have access to
[23:04] <Khaos> #backtrack-linux
[23:04] <voxcroix> no one answer me
[23:04] <L1n0x> can you say me the german channel
[23:04] <DaemonicApathy> Can anyone confirm that the md5sum of  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/natty/ubuntu-11.04-server-i386.iso is 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281 and not b1a479c6593a90029414d201cb83a9cc?
[23:04] <Khaos> I dont know that one off the top of my head
[23:05] <DaemonicApathy> !de | L1n0x
[23:05] <DJHenjin> escott, if you have a better idea, then point me in the right direction. if you do not, then just stop, because this is the way I want to do it,
[23:05] <francesco_> !list
[23:05] <L1n0x> ok sry
[23:05] <escott> DJHenjin, virtual machines or openvzz
[23:06] <DaemonicApathy> Np L1n0x, I was just pointing you to the channel you asked for.
[23:06] <DaemonicApathy> Except I missed that you meant for backtrack. Sorry. :-(
[23:07] <brightspark> Hi all.  I got a new laptop and would like to dual-boot Linux on it as I do my current one; gparted unfortunately will not create a new partition due to the machine shipping with 4 as factory standard.  Suggestions?
[23:07] <DJHenjin> escott, that makes a server migration, much more complicated, in the event that i need to migrate too a more powerful server
[23:07] <LouisWust> DaemonicApathy: actually, i got b1a479c6593a90029414d201cb83a9cc
[23:07] <escott> DJHenjin, huh?
[23:07] <DaemonicApathy> Thank you very much, LouisWust. I suspect the Ubuntu Hashes page needs updating.
[23:08] <nlux> ok most noobish question I ever asked, but I tried to mount /dev/sdd1 to /media/x -o rw and it's ro what do I do? btw it's a nokia phone
[23:08] <nlux> could the phone have a ro lock?
[23:08] <nlux> I also tried to chmod 777 /media/x
[23:08] <escott> nlux, absolutely
[23:09] <dr_willis> nlux:  if its a vfat/ntfs filesystem you dont  just chmod it.
[23:09] <escott> nlux, what filesystem is this phone? how is it exported
[23:09] <dr_willis> nlux:  see what mount says about it.
[23:09] <DJHenjin> escott, its much easier for me to backup the server, and reinstall the software on the new server then just upload what i need to
[23:09] <nlux> vfat
[23:09] <nlux> It's a vfat.. and it's successful about mounting
[23:09] <dr_willis> you may need to use the proper umask/dmask/uid/gid options  if you want the users to have full access
[23:09] <Predicatore> Hi to all
[23:10]  * nlux sighs.
[23:10] <nlux> thanks dr_willis
[23:10] <brightspark> My 4 partitions are: System, Windows filesystem, Windows recovery, HP BIOS stuff.  I don't particularly want to destroy any of these, and I'm concerned that making any of them extended rather than primary partitions might make them unusable.
[23:11] <Predicatore> I'm looking for a programm written in C that makes the logic first order check syntax
[23:11] <vith> DJHenjin: typically game server hosts will have a web based control panel that allows the users to start/stop/restart the game server binary, rather than giving them shell access
[23:11] <Predicatore> who can he help me ?
[23:11] <Guest43000> hi all
[23:11] <Predicatore> hi
[23:12] <DJHenjin> vith, I am aware of that
[23:12] <ratko> Hi
[23:12] <Guest43000> how do i log in and set my name ???
[23:13] <dr_willis> Guest43000:  login and name where?
[23:13] <thufir_> I'm making DAR slices for DVD backup and want relatively small slices, but a number which fits onto a
[23:13] <thufir_> DVD.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660#The_2.2F4_GiB_file_size_limit
[23:13] <thufir_> what would be a good slice size?  440MB?  six per DVD?
[23:14] <Guest43000> instead of being guest43000, new username ???
[23:14] <dr_willis> Guest43000:  /nick Picka-new-nick
[23:14] <blag> is there a way to run a script during mount? im trying to send a WOL packet to my network server and ping it until it responds before mounting the network drives...
[23:14] <Guest43000> where do i type that ??
[23:15] <DaemonicApathy> Exactly where you typed "where do i type that ??".
[23:15] <dr_willis> Guest43000:  /right here
[23:15] <LouisWust> DJHenjin: i think if you follow the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot, you'll be able to set up a full chroot environment under /home/talesofpirates
[23:15] <Khaos> in the bar u just did
[23:15] <LouisWust> which should then enable you to chroot both ssh and sftp
[23:15] <nlux> dr_willis: sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /media/x -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0777,fmask=0777 | doing it rite?
[23:15] <Picka-new-nick> ok, get it now
[23:15] <Khaos> lol i dont think that was a literal situation..
[23:15] <DaemonicApathy> Khaos, it still illustrated the process nicely. ;-)
[23:16] <dr_willis> nlux:  all of the options may not be needed.   just uid and gid may work fine
[23:16] <MacAoidh> done, thanks
[23:16] <Khaos> Does indeed lol
[23:16] <nlux> thanks mate dr_willis
[23:16] <MacAoidh> how do i change colour ???
[23:16] <DaemonicApathy> Google for your client preferences, MacAoidh.
[23:17] <MacAoidh> ???
[23:17] <nlux> dr_willis: cheers to you m8 it works
[23:18] <MacAoidh> i want to change my name to green ???
[23:18] <brightspark> MacAoidh, the procedure is different depending on the client you use to connect to IRC.
[23:18] <MacAoidh> smuxi
[23:18] <DaemonicApathy> !ot | MacAoidh
[23:19] <MacAoidh> OK, Sorry
[23:19] <dr_willis> we wont see your name change colors MacAoidh .....
[23:19] <Predicatore> Who is a C programmer ...here ?
[23:20] <escott> Predicatore, yours is an odd question... and not entirely clear
[23:20] <Khaos> The reason a name changes color is because the person specifies a sender, like when you were being helped on how to pick a new nickname, it was directed at you
[23:20] <Khaos> thats why the name changed color
[23:20] <DaemonicApathy> Predicatore: /j #C
[23:21] <nlux> dr_willis: seems I was a little bit too overjoyed. Error removing file: Read-only file system any further ideas?
[23:21] <dr_willis> nlux:  use root to access the files ;)
[23:21] <nlux> sudo nautilus?
[23:21] <dr_willis> nlux:  or try some other options. I think your masks were incorrect.. its a MASK not a Mode.
[23:22] <dr_willis> I NEVER use nautilus as root.
[23:22] <dr_willis> the shell is our friend. ;)
[23:22] <nlux> mask=0077 dr_willis
[23:22] <DaemonicApathy> nlux, gksudo would be better for programs with a GUI.
[23:22] <dr_willis> its a mask. not a mode nlux .. 0022 is a common mask
[23:22] <MacAoidh> The name never changed colour, the name is, on my screen, blue, as yours <Khaos> is purple.
[23:22] <Predicatore> Someone knows First Order Logic parser written by C ?
[23:22] <Khaos> Q: cannot seem to send in a #backtrack-linux channel, but im in it.. what am i doing busted..
[23:22] <nlux>  -o rw,gid=100,uid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0077 dr_willis
[23:22]  * dr_willis wonders what color MacAoidh  is talking about
[23:22] <nlux> thanks daemonicapathy
[23:22] <DaemonicApathy> Np, nlux.
[23:22] <dr_willis> nlux:  again.. its NOT 77.. thats a mode.. not a mask.
[23:23] <Khaos> welp.. you got me there mate. im not entirely sure now.
[23:23] <dr_willis> mask >>   7777-xxxx=mode
[23:23] <nlux> dr_willis: mount tells me that's my mask..
[23:23] <Khaos> if it helps Mac.. you are yellow to me now
[23:23] <nlux> dr_willis: not even using gksudo, I haven't got any success.
[23:23] <DaemonicApathy> Predicatore: I'm sure someone in #C knows.
[23:23]  * nlux sighs
[23:24] <dr_willis> nlux:  theres literally thousands of web sites out that detail the mount options for vfat. ;)   what does the mount command say its mounted as now? coul dbe some weirdness with the usb
[23:24] <MacAoidh> the colour your nicname is onscreen
[23:24] <brightspark> Hi all.  I got a new laptop and would like to dual-boot Linux on it as I do my current one; gparted unfortunately will not create a new partition due to the machine shipping with 4 as factory standard.  Suggestions?
[23:24] <brightspark> MacAoidh, the procedure is different depending on the client you use to connect to IRC.
[23:24] <brightspark> My 4 partitions are: System, Windows filesystem, Windows recovery, HP BIOS stuff.  I don't particularly want to destroy any of these, and I'm concerned that making any of them extended rather than primary partitions might make them unusable.
[23:24] <MacAoidh> anyways how do i get on  backtrack channel ???
[23:24] <dr_willis> MacAoidh:  my client gives every nick a differnt color. or tries to.
[23:24] <nlux> dr_willis: /dev/sdd1 on /media/x type vfat (rw,gid=100,uid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0077)
[23:24] <dr_willis> !backtrack | MacAoidh
[23:24] <DaemonicApathy> brightspark: Assuming you mean to install Ubuntu specifically, the install disc has partition management built right in.
[23:25] <dr_willis> nlux:  i would unmount it.. and fix the gid. ;) its 100 as shown.. not 1000 ;P
[23:25] <escott> Predicatore, i would check some of the interactive proof assistants to see what they use to parse
[23:25] <MacAoidh> ok thanks
[23:25] <dr_willis> and i would not use the mask options yet.
[23:25] <brightspark> DaemonicApathy, true; but when I shrink one partition in order to create another, it tells me that the freed space is 'unusable'.
[23:25] <Khaos> click this #backtrack-linux
[23:25] <nlux> dr_willis: thank you
[23:25] <lupo_> backtrack <3
[23:26] <dr_willis> backtack... used most by people that relly shouldent be using backtrack... from what ive seen.. ;P
[23:26] <brightspark> DaemonicApathy, so I used gparted to try and partition it in advance, but it won't create more primary partitions than 4 on the device.
[23:26] <SolarisBoy> backwack
[23:27] <Khaos> Solaris sounds jealous..
[23:27] <SolarisBoy> lol
[23:27] <Khaos> ;D
[23:27] <nlux> dr_willis: it was 100 inbefore, I've tried with 1000 and no luck, still ro | /dev/sdd1 on /media/x type vfat (rw,gid=1000,uid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0077)
[23:28] <DaemonicApathy> brightspark: excuse me if this is ignorant, but does it have to be primary, instead of just logical?
[23:28] <dr_willis> nlux:  i got fmask=0022 and dmask=0022 here
[23:29] <nlux> dr_willis: tried with fmask=0022 and dmask=0022 still ro....
[23:30] <escott> brightspark, its almost certainly a primary vs extended partition type issue
[23:32] <dr_willis> nlux:  you are Unmounting it befor you remount it?
[23:32] <nlux> dr_willis: of course..
[23:32] <dr_willis> nlux:  id say check out some examples of mounting it.
[23:32] <brightspark> DaemonicApathy, the partitions shipped with the machine are all primary.  I'm concerned that they will not function as intended if I make them into extended partitions.
[23:33] <brightspark> escott, I think this is the case; I am looking for guidance as to how I can work around it.
[23:33] <escott> brightspark, what is the output of "sudo parted -l" and what are you trying to accomplish
[23:33] <nlux> dr_willis: guess I'll just use a microsd adapter.. thanks alot
[23:34] <riderplus> the keyboard layout doesn't show up. how to change the layouts in 12.10? I have already added the gnome3 ppa and it says everything's up to date
[23:34] <gribouille> hi
[23:34] <gribouille> why did chkconfig disappear from quantal?
[23:35] <SpaceRocket> how to create separate /home partition when using full disk encryption through Ubuntu 12.10 installer
[23:35] <DaemonicApathy> brightspark: I was thinking more of making the Ubuntu install an extended partition, containing logical partitions for the system and swap. My only problem is that I don't know partitioning well enough to be sure that would work.
[23:35] <Jordan_U> brightspark: Your only options are either to do something with one of those partitions which will make it (at least temporarily) not "usable", or install via Wubi, and I don't recommend installing via Wubi.
[23:35] <brightspark> escott, I'm typing from a different machine, so it will take a few minutes to transcribe.  I am attempting to create a partition onto which I can install linux.  I am currently using a bootable mint-stick to run gparted.
[23:35] <Jordan_U> DaemonicApathy: You need a free primary partition to be used as the extended partition (the extended partition counts as one of the 4 primary partitions you're allowed).
[23:36] <brightspark> DaemonicApathy, I would like to do that, but I can't create _any_ partition at the moment.
[23:36] <escott> brightspark, ok. without knowing what is on those other partitions i can't say if they would be affected by being on an extended partition
[23:36] <DaemonicApathy> Thank you, Jordan_U, I knew I was missing a key fact somewhere.
[23:36] <brightspark> Jordan_U, escott, thanks.  I'm going to write up what's on the other partitions.
[23:36] <gribouille> why did chkconfig disappear from quantal?
[23:37] <dr_willis> nlux:  if root cant access it fully then somthing is weird. ;)  but who can tell with phones..
[23:37] <dr_willis> !find chkconfig
[23:38] <riderplus> anyone?
[23:38] <trism> gribouille: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chkconfig/+publishinghistory
[23:39] <gribouille> why was it deleted?
[23:39] <Worsty> Hey
[23:39] <TomyLobo> query mcpbot
[23:39] <TomyLobo> oops
[23:40] <Worsty> I have a question: I installed ubuntu 12.10 onto a flash drive using luks encryption. The thing is, it only boots on the computer I installed it from.
[23:40] <Worsty> When I try to boot off of the USB on other computers it just bypasses it
[23:40] <freshstart> how can i know when i've intalled a DE?i mean the history of it
[23:40] <Worsty> Does anyone have any idea as to why that may happen?
[23:41] <Jordan_U> Worsty: What do you mean by "bypasses"? What actually happens when you try to boot this USB drive from another machine?
[23:41] <SolarisBoy> freshstart: you can try to look in /var/log/dpkg.log
[23:41] <trism> gribouille: expand the arrow: "Not useful or potentially useful with non-sysv init systems such as upstart."
[23:41] <freshstart> SolarisBoy: thanks
[23:41] <mickray97> is there an app that can id a laptop MB?
[23:41] <SolarisBoy> freshstart: yw
[23:41] <Worsty> Jordan_U: the flash drive blinks showing its being read from, then it just boots into windows
[23:41] <SolarisBoy> mickray97: you can try dmidecode
[23:41] <ForSpareParts> Hey guys, do any of you use XBMC? I'm trying to make a shortcut to start Steam Big Picture from it, and the #xbmc channel doesn't have much activity atm
[23:42] <ForSpareParts> I was thinking that it should be possible by triggering the steam://open/bigpicture URL and having the system resolve it, but for the life of me I don't see any way to create an XBMC shortcut to just a URL.
[23:42] <odinsbane> I locked my screen and now I cannot unlock it.
[23:42] <mickray97> from terminal?
[23:42] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | Worsty
[23:43] <odinsbane> It is completely black except for the pointer mouse pointer. I was able to ctrl-alt F6 to get a new tty
[23:43] <SolarisBoy> yes - it can grab info on devices attached to the mobo, cpu, etc depending on how much info they expose - i usually have good luck with it - used to use it to determine server model types
[23:43] <SolarisBoy> mickray97: ^
[23:43] <odinsbane> mickray97: I am using a new tty but I would prefer if I didn't have to restart a session to stop the lock.
[23:43] <mickray97> tks
[23:44] <gribouille> what is the recommended tool to enable/disable services?
[23:44] <SolarisBoy> yw
[23:44] <brightspark> escott, Jordan_U, thanks for your patience.  I transcribed the output and pasted it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/1468505/
[23:44] <freshstart> SolarisBoy: how a ubuntu2d DE will be displayed?
[23:44] <freshstart> SolarisBoy: in /var/log/dpkg.log
[23:45] <SolarisBoy> is think its the gnome-classic package - not quite sure though freshstart
[23:45] <Worsty> ubottu: thank you. I don't quite get how to use this though if I can't boot the system
[23:45] <SpaceRocket> how to sync Gmail contacts with Gnome Contacts?
[23:46] <escott> brightspark, there is currently no free space as for the purpose of those partitions you need to boot windows and figure out what they are for. one is windows C another is probably recovery. the third could be some OEM partition or a data partition
[23:46] <odinsbane> What is the program that locks the screen?
[23:46] <mickray97> hmmm denied permision do i have torun from /root?
[23:47] <SolarisBoy> mickray97: no - but run it with sudo "sudo dmidecode"
[23:47] <odinsbane> gribouille: you can use service [name of service] [start/stop/restart]
[23:47] <odinsbane> gribouille: there is also a graphical one, but I do not have a web browser at the moment to check it.
[23:47] <mickray97> ahh i forgot to add that
[23:47] <brightspark> escott, in GParted, they are labelled: SYSTEM,  unlabelled (this one is the big C: drive though), Recovery, and HP_TOOLS respectively.
[23:47] <SolarisBoy> how about for upstart?
[23:47] <Jordan_U> Worsty: You can run boot info script from any GNU/Linux system, just make sure that the USB drive is plugged in when you run it. That means that you can boot from the USB drive on the original machine, from a LiveCD/USB on any machine, or from any GNU/Linux installation you happen to have.
[23:47] <SolarisBoy> like how to turn service off and on other than removing the conf from /etc/init/?
[23:48] <gribouille> odinsbane, I know that, but what is the replacement of chkconfig?
[23:48] <odinsbane> gribouille: I don't use chkconfig.
[23:48] <gribouille> odinsbane, what do you use?
[23:48] <SolarisBoy> chkconfig is from redhat but ported to debian no? update-rc.d is what you would use for sysv services
[23:48] <SolarisBoy> you use the files in /etc/init/*conf for upstart gribouille
[23:50] <psusi> brightspark, you are going to have to pick one to blow away or convert to an extended
[23:50] <gribouille> why isn't there a conf file for apache in /etc/init/?
[23:51] <SolarisBoy> gribouille: i dont believe apache is moved to upstart
[23:51] <SolarisBoy> gribouille: it would use the standard sysv /etc/init.d/apache2 which is linked in the rc.d* folders
[23:51] <brightspark> escott, the HP_TOOLS partition has a directory "Hewlett-Packard" which contains subdirectories labelled "BIOS", "BIOSUpdate", and "SystemDiags"
[23:51] <MacAoidh> nick newnick
[23:52] <brightspark> psusi, I'm trying to find out whether any of these partitions will even be functional for their intended purpose if they are converted to extended partitions.
[23:53] <SolarisBoy> gribouille: so you would use update-rc.d to manage enabling/ disabling startup of the apache daemon, and you could use /sbin/service or just call the /etc/init.d/apache2 script for job control to start/stop and check status and whatever else is available from the apache start script
[23:53] <TT079> hi
[23:53] <freshstart> the /var/log/lastlog indicates information about the lastlog in the computer?
[23:53] <SolarisBoy> freshstart: about the last logins and their events
[23:53] <freshstart> SolarisBoy: what if this is blank?
[23:54] <SolarisBoy> freshstart: type "last"
[23:54] <SolarisBoy> sorry type lastlog =)

[23:57] <seel> I'm trying to install wine and it says I have broken packages, yet under broken packages in synaptic it doesn't show anything but wine
[23:57] <freshstart> SolarisBoy: they all say never logged in
[23:57] <SolarisBoy> freshstart: thats why it's empty
[23:57] <odinsbane> seel: did you try removing wine?
[23:58] <odinsbane> seel: sudo apt-get install -f will try to fix things, and then you can try to install wine.
[23:59] <seel> well, I don't even think I have wine installed
[23:59] <SolarisBoy> dpkg -l "wine*"
