[00:00] <megadeath> i used to  deluge for torrents
[00:00] <reisio> megadeath: apt-cache search gift
[00:01] <reisio> or s/gift/torrent/ for torrenting apps
[00:02] <megadeath> thanks, i will try gift or may be wine too
[00:02] <reisio> no need for wine
[00:03] <megadeath> yes but i can use wine with ares
[00:03] <uncle_ben> i'm trying to get ario to play music cds and apparently, i need the cdio_paranoia plugin, but google isn't being my friend
[00:04] <megadeath> i used to groveshark for download but it not supported anymore
[00:12] <Vivekananda> hey everyone. anyone any ideas on why the alt tab would skip the terminator console ?
[00:15] <wilee-nilee> Vivekananda, You using the terminator from the repos?
[00:15] <Vivekananda> I believe so
[00:15] <Vivekananda> let me check
[00:15] <wilee-nilee> that would be my only comment I have not used it nor do I use unity
[00:16] <Vivekananda> yep I am
[00:16] <Vivekananda> wilee-nilee: what do you use  ?
[00:16] <wilee-nilee> Vivekananda, the gnome shell
[00:17] <Vivekananda> also while we are on the topic tell me how to get one of those sci fi movie themes on the desktop
[00:17] <wilee-nilee> with synapse and the cairo-dock
[00:17] <wilee-nilee> Vivekananda, Themes I have never messed with I see to many people with problems associated.
[00:17] <Vivekananda> are those themes even true or just make believe. I mean all black background and those cli interfaces with everything black
[00:18] <somsip> Vivekananda: look at tiling window managers like awesome and dwm
[00:18] <wilee-nilee> I have noticed a correlation with theme wanting and new users and confusion, hehe
[00:19] <dustinspringman> whats up fellas! upgraded to 13.10 and now my second monitor is detected under displays, but i get no video... intel sandybridge drivers appear to be installed and working properly... i've googled every thread and am 4 pages deep now with no luck.... thoughts?
[00:21] <dustinspringman> FTR, it worked on 12.04 before I upgraded.. =/
[00:21] <dustinspringman> no changes at all other than software upgrade...
[00:21] <wilee-nilee> dustinspringman, My thoughts why the upgrade from a OS that has 5 years support.
[00:21] <dustinspringman> glxgears and glxspheres are rendering proper... where should I look?
[00:22] <wilee-nilee> 14.04 is the next lt
[00:23] <wilee-nilee> I would have dual booted 13.10 to see if it worked myself
[00:23] <wolfspy> hello
[00:23] <wolfspy> Should I replace windows with ubuntu?
[00:23] <dustinspringman> wilee-nilee: it was sorta by accident... I updated to the 2.8 kernel on 12.04 and it broke a bunch of stuff.... so I just kept upgrading... 13.10 is working well so far, the only issue I have is my second monitor (vizio 26" screen conneted via mini displayport) shows up in displays.. but no signal is all i get
[00:23] <wolfspy> I basically use ubuntu for everything, and windows just takes up disk space
[00:23] <wolfspy> im dual booting
[00:24] <wilee-nilee> wolfspy, That is your decision tis is not a polling channel.
[00:24] <dustinspringman> wilee-nilee: any ideas on what config file I can look at to determine why my monitor is detected but gets no video signal?
[00:25] <wilee-nilee> dustinspringman, Not really never messed with that graphic setup.
[00:25] <bekks> dustinspringman: which graphics card do you have?
[00:25] <dustinspringman> bekks: its an optimus... but i don't ever use the nvidia gpu (at all) in 12.04 this worked well.. Intel SandyBridge (HD 3000 I think)...
[00:26] <oaulakh> how apply swap partition in ubuntu
[00:26] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, apply?
[00:27] <dustinspringman> bekks: the intel gpu is giving me 68+ FPS on GLX tests.. on my laptop screen works great... but my 26" connected to mini-displayport is seen in "displays" but no amount of clicking will restore its video signal..
[00:27] <oaulakh> helo wilee-nilee
[00:27] <oaulakh> yeah man apply
[00:27] <wilee-nilee> make or mount oaulakh
[00:27] <oaulakh> first when i intsall ubuntu
[00:27] <bekks> dustinspringman: then I am out of clues, since I only use nvidia on non-optimus systems.
[00:27] <oaulakh> i did'nt provide swap drive
[00:28] <oaulakh> but now i made it with gparted
[00:28] <wolfspy> Oh, and why does my Intel intergrated graphics cpu preform much better in ubuntu?
[00:28] <Vivekananda> wilee-nilee: In the movies and tv shows you see geeks and hackers using all black layouts and stuff but I dont know if all that is make believe or is it something acutualy possible in a ubuntu desktop
[00:28] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, You can make a swap with gparted, make sure you are within partition types and the limitations, and you have a unallocated space. There is a swap file option as well.
[00:29] <wilee-nilee> Vivekananda, easily possible, if you know how, the desktops are just a bit tightlt woven together us all, you have to know how to deal with those limitations
[00:29] <oaulakh> swap file option where?
[00:29] <bekks> !swap
[00:29] <somsip> Vivekananda: look at tiling window managers like awesome and dwm
[00:29] <oaulakh> i just make my /dev/sda2 drive to swap
[00:30] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, /dev/sda2 is a partiton not drive, can you pastebin a screenshot of gparted, which may need to be installed.
[00:30] <Aikar> any recommendations to get around "Could not calculate update" Have quite a few packages with Broken status in apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413489/
[00:31] <oaulakh> but i dunno how i integerate it with ubuntu system
[00:31] <wolfspy> anyone?
[00:31] <somsip> !swapon | oaulakh
[00:31] <Rax2323> join #freakshow
[00:31] <somsip> !info swapon
[00:31] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, integrate what?
[00:31] <bekks> oaulakh: Then just take a look at the FAQ you just got a link for.
[00:31] <Rax2323> #freakshow
[00:31] <bekks> !swap | somsip
[00:32] <somsip> bekks: scrolled up and saw it, thanks :)
[00:33] <wilee-nilee> wolfspy, Itel supports open source with actual drivers.
[00:33] <wilee-nilee> Intel*
[00:33] <wolfspy> but games run at 20 more fps
[00:33] <wolfspy> It shouldent make that much of a differance
[00:33] <bekks> why not?
[00:34] <wilee-nilee> wolfspy, This is support not discussion, do you have a support issue?
[00:34] <bekks> wolfspy: We have no clue about what windows actually does regarding drivers, so just take it as it is.
[00:34] <wolfspy> no
[00:34] <wilee-nilee> some discussion is okay, just not the default all the time, and to go on and on.
[00:35] <wolfspy> oh, I actually do have a 'real' question
[00:35] <wolfspy> why does the system monineter use a lot of cpu?
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> wolfspy: use htop
[00:36] <wilee-nilee> its a gui I suspect
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> !htop | wolfspy
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> erm
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> wolfspy: sudo apt-get htop
[00:36] <wolfspy> ok
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> hmmm
[00:36] <wilee-nilee> just a guess though
[00:37] <Ari-Yang> I had to run fsck on my laptop (looked like bad sectors)... I'm thinking about doing a fresh install of ubuntu 13.10
[00:37] <Ari-Yang> think it would be okay?
[00:37] <Ari-Yang> like
[00:37] <bekks> Ari-Yang: Why dont you just run fsck?
[00:37] <Ari-Yang> would I end up having to run fsck again?
[00:38] <bekks> Ari-Yang: And a reinstall will not magically heal bad sectors.
[00:38] <Ari-Yang> bekks: I /did/ run fsck... everything seems fine... what I'm asking is if I do a fresh install, would I have to run fsck again?
[00:38] <Ari-Yang> bekks: I know that....
[00:38] <Vivekananda> somsip: thanks. I will look at the tiling things but the question is will they remove a lot of the functionality that is available here with gnome. Two of the most frequently used by me are the alt tab and the worspace switcher. I wonder how I can do that for the tiling thing
[00:38] <Ari-Yang> like will ubuntu "remember" the bad sectors it dealt with when I ran it
[00:38] <Ari-Yang> or would I have to probably run it again?
[00:38] <bekks> Ari-Yang: Then run fsck -f and you will be at the same point as you would be after a reinstall.
[00:39] <Vivekananda> I used kupfer for lubuntu earlier and that was pretty helpful to switch but I was wondering how the same things are achieved in the tiling systems
[00:39] <Ari-Yang> bekks: what does -f do?
[00:39]  * ianorlin can see more use in wifi in a autoshop
[00:39] <bekks> Ari-Yang: It forces a full fsck on a fs marked as clean.
[00:39] <bekks> Ari-Yang: fsck -f actually /does/ a fsck.
[00:39] <ianorlin> crud wrong channel
[00:39] <Ari-Yang> oh
[00:39] <Ari-Yang> thanks
[00:40] <dustinspringman> bekks: thanks for trying at least..
[00:40] <uncle_ben> i'm trying to get ario to play music cds and apparently, i need the cdio_paranoia plugin, but it's not listed in the plugins menu and google turns up nothing...i'm using ario 1.5.1
[00:40] <Ari-Yang> well before I think about doing a fresh install... I'll have to back stuff up first and whatever configs I want that are in my ~
[00:41] <bekks> Ari-Yang: Just run fsck -f
[00:41] <wilee-nilee> uncle_ben, What ubuntu release?
[00:41] <bekks> Ari-Yang: or run "badblocks" (look at the man page first) to see wether you actually /have/ bad sectors.

[00:42] <oaulakh> how i make swap disk as default swap
[00:42] <Ari-Yang> bekks: does this not look like bad sectors? http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/35238191
[00:43] <bekks> oaulakh: By reading the link ubottu gave you when you asked the first time.
[00:43] <Ari-Yang> bekks: that was the 2nd time I had to run it (2 weeks ago)
[00:43] <Ari-Yang> bekks: that log is me running fsck while on livecd (usb)
[00:43] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, You can mount it from gparted and make sure your fstab has it.
[00:43] <bekks> Ari-Yang: That are filesytem errors, no sign of bad sectors so far.
[00:43] <oaulakh> fstab what it means?
[00:43] <Ari-Yang> bekks: though I don't have the log the first time I ran it :V
[00:43] <reisio> man fstab
[00:44] <Ari-Yang> bekks: thanks for your info~
[00:44] <bekks> Ari-Yang: Oh, error reading block... you should create a backup, investigate the issue, and replace the disk.
[00:44] <bekks> !fstab | oaulakh
[00:44] <DJJeff> there is a program called "baobab" or "Disk Usage Analyzer" how do I put in a SSH address to scan?
[00:44] <Ari-Yang> bekks: yeah I would replace the disk if I could :/
[00:44] <bekks> DJJeff: you cant.
[00:44] <Ari-Yang> I just have to make sure I have stuff backed up
[00:45] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, here is my fstab swap line with my uuid, sudo blkid will tell you yours, and read the links you have been given.   UUID=6302c200-bbce-413c-a99d-83bb8abd4317 none            swap    sw              0       0
[00:45] <DJJeff> bekks: why not.
[00:45] <racho> Aikar, have you tried disabling ppas?
[00:45] <bekks> DJJeff: because baobab doesnt support that.
[00:45] <DJJeff> bekks: it does have the option to "REMOTE SCAN"
[00:45] <DJJeff> bekks: is SSH not remote?
[00:46] <bekks> DJJeff: just log in using ssh and run "df -h"
[00:46] <DJJeff> bekks: I do remember earlier versions of Ubuntu I was able to SSH Scan
[00:46] <DJJeff> bekks: "df -h" is not a GUI
[00:46] <bekks> DJJeff: I know. Thats exactly why I recommend using df -h
[00:47] <oaulakh> thanks i done it
[00:47] <oaulakh> it was easy
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> !yay | paulus68
[00:47] <DJJeff> bekks: time to boot up earlier Ubuntu in a VM to get this to work, thanks anyways
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> paulus68, sorry paulus68
[00:47] <spitboxer> what package adds the commandline tool "deb" for adding sources?
[00:47] <oaulakh> just right click on swap partition in gparted and select swapon
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> !yay > oaulakh
[00:48] <spitboxer> heh... i just installed irssi and im in console mode cuz of broken ATI drivers
[00:48] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, You add it to the fstab so it is always on?
[00:48] <spitboxer> and alt-arrows changes my console tty, how can I disable this?!?
[00:48] <spitboxer> wtf
[00:48] <oaulakh> thanks wilee-nilee
[00:48] <spitboxer> haha
[00:49] <wilee-nilee> spitboxer, Please no swearing or acronyms of.
[00:49] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: which drivers are you using? fglrx?
[00:49] <Ari-Yang> that caused the thing to break
[00:49] <oaulakh> any best backup craetor for ubuntu
[00:49] <spitboxer> Ari-Yang: yeah, fglrx and fglrx-update
[00:49] <spitboxer> neither work
[00:50] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: yeah, go figure. You're taking a risk when using those drivers :/
[00:50] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: why did you want to use them? and what radeon card do you have?
[00:50] <spitboxer> problem is i need XRandR support, HD4850, fairly new card
[00:50] <spitboxer> I need either XRandR or Radeon proprietary or both... Bad overscan on a mitsubishi DLP
[00:50] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Any number of ways to backup best is your personal opinion.
[00:51] <spitboxer> with the default drivers ubuntu installed
[00:51] <racho> spitboxer, radeon (the open source driver) supports XRandR pretty well. i'am on HD5500 myself
[00:51] <DJJeff> bekks: in BAOBAB 3.4.1 you could SSH Scan in 3.8.1 you can not SSH Scan
[00:51] <spitboxer> ironically enough now that im in text mode the screen fits nearly perfectly...
[00:51] <wolfspy> Is firefox supposed to use a lot of CPU? (around 70%_
[00:51] <wolfspy> )*
[00:51] <DJJeff> bekks: seems stupid to break things that work :)
[00:51] <spitboxer> racho thanks i might try reverting to it in a sec
[00:51] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: well did you install fglrx with apt-get install fglrx ?
[00:51] <racho> wolfspy, firefox no. however plugin-container aka flash may use up to 100% :)
[00:51] <spitboxer> Ari-Yang: yep
[00:51] <oaulakh> i want to backup my system like norton ghost did for windows
[00:52] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: okay, so now to get things working again and have your gui (X), you need to uninstall fglrx and get the radeon driver again
[00:52] <reisio> oaulakh: to where?
[00:52] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Ah, I use clonezilla, not many that are clones.
[00:52] <wolfspy> racho, I have top open and firefox is using quite a lot, plugin conatiner is using about 5
[00:52] <spitboxer> another good question is though, how can i change the behavior of ALT-arrow keys? that breaks apps like irssi pretty blatantly
[00:52] <racho> spitboxer, also if using 13.10 make sure to ad radeon.dpm=1 to kernel boot params. it does make a difference
[00:52] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: uninstall whatever fglrx packages you installed before things broke.
[00:52] <oaulakh> clonezilla is it good in backup than tar?
[00:52]  * wilee-nilee waits for the clonezilla burn
[00:52] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: dpm is dynamic power management, prevents gpu from running hot
[00:53] <Ari-Yang> racho: are you on 13.10?
[00:53] <wolfspy> its mostly when I load or revresh a page, it jumps up to over 100%
[00:53] <reisio> oaulakh: it's a bit overkill
[00:53] <wolfspy> refresh*
[00:53] <pngl> Trying to install mplayer2 on 13.10 I get: E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/liba/libav/libavutil51_0.8.8-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>_amd64.deb 404
[00:53] <oaulakh> hahahhaaa
[00:53] <reisio> oaulakh: for one thing your whole OS is already mirrored in thousands of places, 'cause it's free
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, clonezilla is run from a disc and does compress.
[00:53] <Ari-Yang> racho: because like, seeing how you have a hd5000 series card, you can use hardware video decoding with the open source radeon driver if you use latest mesa (10)
[00:53] <reisio> pngl: mplayer :)
[00:54] <oaulakh> good
[00:54] <racho> Ari-Yang,  my other pc (with the ati card) is and i'm pretty happy. here is fedora with Linux workbox 3.13.0-0.rc0.git1.3.fc21.x86_64
[00:54] <oaulakh> norton also run from disk
[00:54] <spitboxer> srsly, for console usage, how can i disable this behavoir of alt arrow keys... irssi depends on alt-arrow to change windows... ሺ?
[00:54] <oaulakh> clonezilla iso please?
[00:54] <pngl> reisio: same issue. I see it tries to connect using ipv6 (2001:67c:1360:8c01::1a)
[00:54] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Its on the web, you can d\o that
[00:55] <oaulakh> okkkk
[00:55] <spitboxer> hah hitting numlock in console gives a fun error: [ 1157.872260] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/3/0/0x10000100
[00:55] <Ari-Yang> racho: ah, nice, I'm running 3.12 on this laptop (with hd5400) and mesa 10, works real nice. Though the ppa I used for mesa 10 dropped support for 12.04 and 12.10, so I'm considering upgrading to 13.10
[00:55] <racho> Ari-Yang, yes but afaik neither the latest mesa nor the latest kernels are in the official repos
[00:55] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, It saves the mbr as well
[00:55] <wilee-nilee> norton does not
[00:55] <Ari-Yang> racho: no they are not, so people have to use ppa and the ubuntu kernel ppa
[00:56] <Ari-Yang> racho: the safest ppa for latest mesa would be oibaf's and the ubuntu kernel ppa is the way to go too
[00:56] <oaulakh> then that one is super than tar
[00:56] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, I would not tar unless it it just the os alone not tar a clonezilla save
[00:58] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Clonezilla just saves packages in  a file not a partition.
[00:59] <oaulakh> cool
[00:59] <oaulakh> going to use clonezilla
[00:59] <Rxop> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYCvPx_93uU
[00:59] <oaulakh> i want my ubuntu backup, bcz i dont want to lose it that time
[01:00] <joossee> hi guys, installed openooffice thru USC after adding the repo. keep getting error "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
[01:00] <joossee> /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:00] <joossee> "? tried installing the newsest openjdk (7) but no luck?
[01:01] <bkmeneguello_> hi
[01:02] <bkmeneguello_> someone knows how to update bios in a dell
[01:02] <bkmeneguello_> i have as Inspiron 14z
[01:02] <bkmeneguello_> and need to upgrade the BIOS
[01:02] <reisio> bkmeneguello_: with a freedos image
[01:02] <joossee> wtf does that have to do with ubuntu?
[01:03] <reisio> joossee: maybe he's using Ubuntu
[01:03] <bkmeneguello_> I use ubuntu
[01:07] <bkmeneguello_> reisio: unfortunately freedos dont works
[01:07] <reisio> sure it does
[01:08] <dustinspringman> ah ha! I think i've found my problem.. maybe someone can help me fix... "xrandr is showing my monitor is connected to HDM1".. which is not the case... its actually connected to DP1 (displayport 1).... How do I tell xrandr "hey guy, you're using the wrong interface!?"
[01:08] <bkmeneguello_> sorry, i said don't works to install my update
[01:08] <reisio> dustinspringman: what makes you think it cares?
[01:09] <bkmeneguello_> the update is a windows 7/8 executable
[01:10] <dustinspringman> reisio: the issue I have is that my 26" monitor is being seen in "displays" but I get no video....  I have an HDMI and DisplayPort on this laptop.... the HDMI is tied to the nvidiaGPU which I do not use because nvidia drivers are a pain in my ass....
[01:10] <dustinspringman> reisio: this is the only thing I can find that "looks wrong"...
[01:10] <dustinspringman> on 12.04 I had this working and xrandr showed "connecetd" on teh DP1 not the HDMI1
[01:11] <dustinspringman> any thoughts on how/where to tell xrandr "use DP1" not HDMI1 ?
[01:12] <LarsN> CAn someone point me towards documentation on how to tune the screen dimming buttons?
[01:12] <spitboxer> Ari-Yang / racho : so, uninstalling fglrx & fglrx-updates was all it took - synaptic reports no package named "radeon" anyway and rebooting after uninstalling restored my X desktop
[01:12] <LarsN> I see the OSD indication pop up when hitting the brightness up & down.  However the brightness doesn't change.
[01:12] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: you might be using radeon right now... what's the output of dmesg | grep radeon ?
[01:13] <spitboxer> btw the references to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the "manual instructions" for upgrading to proprietary drivers, are incorrect
[01:13] <spitboxer> xorg.conf no longer lives at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:13] <spitboxer> Ari-Yang: radeon framebuffer device
[01:13] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: and the radeon drivers are xserver-xorg-vide-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[01:13] <spitboxer> the problem is i get ridiculous overscan on this mitsubishi DLP
[01:14] <Ari-Yang> * xserver-xorg-video-ati
[01:14] <racho> spitboxer, well the radeon driver comes with kernel :)
[01:15] <wilee-nilee> bkmeneguello_, Most bios update have iso option to put on a disc.
[01:16] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: what ubuntu version are you using?
[01:16] <spitboxer> so my next questin is, where does the xorg.conf file live? I see some stuff in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d but not an actual "xorg.conf" file
[01:16] <spitboxer> Ari-Yang: I'm using kubuntu 13.10, fresh install
[01:16] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: you do not need xorg for ubuntu 12.04 and so on
[01:16] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: it'snot needed.... if you do want one, you'd have to generate one.
[01:16] <bkmeneguello_> wilee-nilee, not these
[01:17] <bkmeneguello_> only an exe
[01:17] <SamuraiDio> wilee-nilee, installing now. :)
[01:17] <spitboxer> Ari-Yang: in my case I do, its the only place I know of to put ViewPortIn and ViewPortOut options
[01:17] <wilee-nilee> bkmeneguello_  Are you sure no disc option is all I would ask.
[01:17] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: also seeing how this is a radeon card, run gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and add radeon.dpm=1 in the GRUB cmd line, save the file, then run sudo update-grub
[01:17] <Ari-Yang> !xorg
[01:17] <wilee-nilee> SamuraiDio, Cool, enjoy.
[01:17] <Ari-Yang> !xorgconf | spitboxer
[01:19] <spitboxer> thanks guys, the problem is with nvidia drivers theres a command "nvida settings" that lets me do things like nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-0: 1920x1200 { ViewPortIn=2560x1600}"
[01:19] <racho> dustinspringman, xrandr --output DP1 etc...
[01:19] <spitboxer> trying to find the equivalent for ATI
[01:19] <Ari-Yang> spitboxer: I know you can generate one, but I forget... perhaps gooling "generating xorg.conf ati" or something?
[01:20] <ceed^> I have a problem: Sometime when I boot (once every four-five times) I just get a blank screen, no login screen. I have to open a console, log in and reboot and the next time I get the normal login screen. What could the problem be?
[01:20] <Ari-Yang> !modeset
[01:20] <dustinspringman> racho: I've been trying a few of those commands and i've been unable to find how to properly say "go away HDMI1, I want to use DP1"... I even tried "xrandr --output "HDMI1" --off
[01:20] <dustinspringman> doesn't appear to do anything..
[01:21] <racho> spitboxer, i haven't tweaked a xorg.conf in ages. if it is some dual-monitor, resolution thingy maybe you need xranrd
[01:22] <racho> dustinspringman, ok what happens when you run xrandr --output DP1 (also try DP-1) --auto
[01:22] <joossee> what kind of magic is needed for installing openoffice? i tried installing it from software centre and that didnt work, i tried it thru apt-get and that didnt work, and I tried it from their website and that didnt work either.. im at a losss here..?
[01:23] <Ari-Yang> joossee: use libreoffice
[01:23] <joossee> Ari-Yang, id rather not?
[01:24] <Ari-Yang> joossee: it should already be installed, what's wrong with LibreOffice?
[01:24] <dustinspringman> racho: nada.. cant turn off the HDMI1 cant turn on the DP1... odd thing is.. it sees "Viz 26" in "displays"... something is really goofy with xrandr here....
[01:24] <joossee> Ari-Yang, its terrible on windows and I want one office suite across the board...?
[01:24] <dustinspringman> racho: its not a phantom connection either b/c i can unplug the DP and do xrandr -q and it sure enough shows "disconnected" on HDMI1
[01:25] <Ari-Yang> joossee: wait, you don't want to install/use libreoffice on ubuntu, because it's "terrible" on Windows? and you rather use openoffice?
[01:25] <joossee> yes thats correct
[01:25] <LarsN> My laptop has a keyboard hot key to change the screen brightness.  When I hit these keys, I get an OSD presentation showing the level changing, however the brightness doesn't change.  Is there a guide anywhere on how to tune this so it actually works?
[01:26] <wilee-nilee> joossee, You have to purge libreoffice in general to have OO they share stuff, I think libreo is more uputo date thougbh.
[01:26] <FuqUmist> hello, how do i remove a virus from my ubuntu computer?
[01:26] <deezed> FuqUmist: virus?
[01:26] <joossee> i already removed it, that wasnt a problem
[01:26] <FuqUmist> yeah
[01:26] <reisio> FuqUmist: first you'd have to install one
[01:26] <wilee-nilee> FuqUmist, How do you know it's a virus, highly unlikely.
[01:26] <cvtsx> hello
[01:26] <joossee> the USC version doesnt appear to download the proper (amd64) bit version
[01:26] <reisio> cvtsx: hiyo
[01:27] <cvtsx> fluq
[01:27] <deezed> FuqUmist: do you have a virus in your ubuntu?
[01:27] <reisio> yes, fluq
[01:27] <joossee> so installed via dpckg but now i just cant launch the damn thing...?
[01:27] <wilee-nilee> joossee, Did you purge it, use nicks here.
[01:27] <reisio> joossee: dpkg -L packagename | grep -i bin
[01:27] <FuqUmist> wilee-nilee it seems i may have this virus that targets linux computers with ebanking fraud "Citadel trojan"
[01:27] <FuqUmist> google it
[01:27] <cvtsx> reisio lets be friends friend
[01:27] <Ari-Yang> !openoffice
[01:27] <reisio> FuqUmist: in what way does it seem that way
[01:27] <Ari-Yang> !apache
[01:27] <reisio> cvtsx: righto
[01:27] <Ari-Yang> !apacheopenoffice
[01:27] <reisio> Ari-Yang: ...god awful spam
[01:27] <cvtsx> fulq upload it somewhere so i can try to analyze it (i am a noob)
[01:27] <Ari-Yang> reisio: my bad XD
[01:28] <reisio> ubottu: your programmer is a failure
[01:28] <drisdan> Might anyone have any handy documentation available on how to transform a laptop into a wireless bridge? Google wasn't much help. I plan on using the wifi on the laptop as the gateway to the cable modem, then using the ethernet port on the laptop for a different internal network.
[01:28] <Ari-Yang> joossee: http://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html
[01:28] <Ari-Yang> joossee: but you'llhave to compile from source (which isn't too hard)
[01:28] <reisio> ...he doesn't want libreoffice?
[01:28] <FuqUmist> reisio from CBL
[01:29] <reisio> drisdan: in  network manager's properties
[01:29] <reisio> drisdan: you just check 'share connection' or something, it's very simple
[01:29] <cvtsx> fulqumist where do you think you were infected?
[01:29] <deezed> Ari-Yang: openoffice is actually without updates. its all libreoffice now
[01:29] <drisdan> Ubuntu 13.10 has it all built in? That easy?
[01:29] <reisio> FuqUmist: pardon?
[01:29] <Jouva> I'm trying to use phpVirtualBox which requires the vboxweb-service to be started. I do service vboxweb-service start and it just gets me back to the command prompt. Doesn't even say it's trying to start it. Any thoughts?
[01:29] <joossee> reisio, the command you posted returns soffice.bin and unopkg.bin ?
[01:29] <cvtsx> .also it shouldnt have executed unless if you allowed it to
[01:29] <reisio> drisdan: I haven't used 13.10, but networkmanager has had it for ages
[01:29] <Ari-Yang> deezed: tell that to joossee :|
[01:29] <reisio> joossee: what do you want openoffice for?
[01:29] <drisdan> thank you reisio
[01:29] <deezed> Ari-Yang: lol
[01:29] <FuqUmist> should i get an anti-virus or something?
[01:30] <reisio> FuqUmist: you should convince someone you have a trojan first
[01:30] <wilee-nilee> FuqUmist, Okay, so how do you know you have it, you have to recognize we are a bit well surprised, if you even have it and how you detected it.
[01:30] <cvtsx> why do you think you were infected?
[01:30] <Ari-Yang> !antivirus | FuqUmist
[01:30] <cvtsx> scan it on www.virustotal.com
[01:30] <deezed> joossee: did you get it? openoffice has joined libreoffice. they'r now one
[01:30] <reisio> Ari-Yang: spam and wrong
[01:30] <joossee> holy crap guys I have my reasons related to costly data loss on libreoffice for windows. ya thats the reson. now can i get openoffice running without the commentary? no offence but yeesh
[01:30] <FuqUmist> wilee-nilee from http://cbl.abuseat.org
[01:30] <cvtsx> scan it on www.virustotal.com unless if its fud
[01:30] <cvtsx> which it probably isnt
[01:30] <reisio> FuqUmist: what about the cbl?
[01:30] <cvtsx> fulq dont post malicious links in chat
[01:30] <kriskropd> if I wanted to completely remove and purge xorg and then re-install xorg (just xorg, not talkinga bout widnow managers or desktop environments or anything liek that) which all packages do I need to remove and then reinstall with apt-get ?
[01:30] <cvtsx> but thx for it
[01:31] <kriskropd> talking about window*
[01:31] <FuqUmist> rescept it says stuff like this.... :This IP address is infected with, or is NATting for a machine infected with the Citadel trojan."
[01:31] <xangua> kriskropd: for what purpose¿
[01:31] <reisio> FuqUmist: is it a desktop machine?
[01:31] <deezed> joossee: its a channel to comment though. But still, maybe in windows it was not that good as in linux
[01:31] <joossee> deezed, let me gewt this straight, they splintered, got bought by apache or w/e, and then remerged? i fidn that unlikely..?
[01:31] <kriskropd> xangua: science - this is in a vm
[01:31] <FuqUmist> yeah
[01:31] <naz> anyone know were python 2.4 would be located in 13.10? trying to do some python and im using the interpreter /usr/bin/python.2.4 and its not finding it :(
[01:32] <cvtsx> fulq here is that link https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/806547170e24172358a0872f9eb9269678ec412f9985b2b7fce6ec455183bcf5/analysis/1384392687/
[01:32] <wilee-nilee> FuqUmist, This your exact IP or a genral IP your going through.
[01:32] <GuiValdevieso> Olá Ubunteiros de plantão!
[01:32] <kriskropd> xangua: for my educational purposes, if you don't want to feel like you are wasting your time
[01:32] <FuqUmist> wilee-nilee i think it is my exact
[01:32] <reisio> FuqUmist: well first you need to know what makes them think that
[01:32]  * kriskropd blushes
[01:32] <GuiValdevieso> algum programador presente?
[01:32] <FuqUmist> reisio http://www.securityweek.com/new-banking-trojan-targets-linux-users
[01:32] <wilee-nilee> FuqUmist, You think?
[01:32] <GuiValdevieso> kkk
[01:32] <xangua> !pt | GuiValdevieso
[01:33] <cvtsx> fulq post the link here http://www.malwareurl.com/index.php
[01:33] <reisio> FuqUmist: it looks like clamav can detect it
[01:33] <FuqUmist> yeah, wilee-nilee i guess it probably is
[01:33] <GuiValdevieso> !pt
[01:33] <reisio> FuqUmist: unfortunately, however, if you had a trojan, the only way to be sure your system is 100% clean is to reinstall
[01:33] <FuqUmist> http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/33884/hand-of-thief-banking-trojan-takes-aim-at-secure-linux-os/
[01:33] <Jouva> naz: 2.4? I can't say for sure but I'm not sure 2.4 is included with 13.10? Maybe 2.6? I'd check the package list
[01:33] <deezed> FuqUmist: you can be sure by going on whatsmyip
[01:33] <cvtsx> fulq post the link here http://www.malwareurl.com/index.php
[01:33] <FuqUmist> reisio yeah, i really don't want to do that tho if i don't have to
[01:34] <reisio> FuqUmist: you don't have to, but it's the only way to be 100% sure
[01:34] <cvtsx> Fuq why did you execute it if its suspicious?
[01:34] <reisio> FuqUmist: clamav should find _that_ specific trojan's data for you
[01:34] <naz> thanks Jouva, I just did that its 2.7.5+ by any chance would you know were it would be located?
[01:34] <Jouva> Where 2.4 would be?
[01:34] <FuqUmist> if i install a new version of ubuntu will it get infected anyways? i'm not sure how it infects
[01:34] <naz> 2.7.5+ or currenct ver
[01:34] <naz> current*
[01:34] <cvtsx> Well FuqUmist: now that you are infected try to analyze it :D
[01:35] <joossee> ok fine screw it i will install your damned libreoffice grrrr.
[01:35] <Jouva> naz: I don't do much with python, but it might already be symlinked
[01:35] <cvtsx> FuqUmist: now that you are infected try to analyze it :D
[01:35] <deezed> FuqUmist: do you know you can backup your data and settings of your profile, reinstall ubuntu and set everything up very easily?
[01:35] <naz> Thanks Jouva
[01:35] <Jouva> naz: If you install it, you can use dpkg to search for the file or do a "which" or "whereis"
[01:35] <FuqUmist> cvtsx i'm not that computer savvy
[01:35] <deezed> joossee: lol
[01:35] <reisio> FuqUmist: what you do is reinstall, then install a system integrity system, such as AIDE
[01:35] <bkmeneguello_> hey thanks for the freedos tip. it worked!!!
[01:35] <reisio> FuqUmist: that way even if you get it again, you won't have to reinstall
[01:35] <cvtsx> FuqUmist: why did you execute it if it was suspicious?
[01:35] <joossee> deezed, are they really back to being merged? cuz it doesnt seem so from what ive read?
[01:36] <joossee> first question: how do i uninstall a dpkg installation?
[01:36] <FuqUmist> do you think i become infected by browsing websites or something or was i specifically targeted?
[01:36] <Jouva> I'm trying to use phpVirtualBox which requires the vboxweb-service to be started. I do service vboxweb-service start and it just gets me back to the command prompt. Doesn't even say it's trying to start it. Any thoughts?
[01:36] <deezed> joossee: I've read so, but if you are saying they are not, I cant be sure. But anyway the point is: openoffice hasnt been updated for a while
[01:37] <cvtsx> FuqUmist: well tell us what happened between you being clean -> infected
[01:37] <kriskropd> Jouva: what does 'status' say?
[01:37] <Jouva> Same thing
[01:37] <cvtsx> probably not targeted tho
[01:37] <reisio> FuqUmist: best use clamscan to see if you've even got it first
[01:37] <Jouva> It's just not telling me anything, but it's not throwing an error either
[01:37] <FuqUmist> cvtsx nothing really, just browsing the internet and irc mainly
[01:37] <deezed> joossee: what do you mean as a dpkg installation? unpack it manually?
[01:37] <reisio> FuqUmist: you can do it from a live OS to reduce your exposure in the interim
[01:37] <cvtsx> o then it probably wasnt targeted
[01:38] <cvtsx> FuqUmist: but really try to analyze it, there are plenty of tutorials online
[01:38] <cvtsx> also post the suspicious website on http://www.malwareurl.com/index.php
[01:38] <Jouva> kriskropd: It's weird that it's giving me nothing at all. The file is definitely in /etc/init.d so it's not that it's missing
[01:38] <deezed> FuqUmist: I think its not that hard that you have got it from irc...
[01:38] <reisio> deezed: it is
[01:39] <reisio> but we don't even know if he's got it
[01:39] <reisio> don't put the cart before the horse
[01:39] <reisio> doesn't work right
[01:39] <cvtsx> lol ya
[01:39] <kriskropd> Jouva: I'm not really familiar with phpVirtualBox, but I did run it once several years ago. It should be logging to a file in /var/log
[01:39] <cvtsx> scan your computer
[01:39] <joossee> deezed, i ran dpkg -i *.deb in the appropriate directory and it installed to /opt... just wanna remove it before i install, gas, libreofiffice
[01:39] <cvtsx> also look at all out going tcp connections
[01:39] <deezed> reisio: some days ago Ive received some messages here from random users I've never talked with, and it looks like virus
[01:40] <cvtsx> FuqUmist: look at all out going tcp connections
[01:40] <kriskropd> Jouva: do you know which port it should be running on? <IP_ADDRESS>:10000 perhaps? you could try running 'netstat -tulpn' and seeing if you recognize that port being hosted
[01:40] <reisio> deezed: that's just spam
[01:40] <reisio> welcome to the internet
[01:40] <reisio> indeed, the human race
[01:40] <deezed> reisio: uhm...
[01:40] <reisio> deezed: uhm nothing
[01:40] <ianmac1> joossee, you should be able to use apt-get to remove that *.deb
[01:41] <reisio> FuqUmist: sudo apt-get install clamav && sudo freshclam && clamscan -ir ~/.config
[01:41] <deezed> reisio: lol... uhm like "ah, got it!"
[01:41] <Jouva> kriskropd: The problem is I'm tring to run that service and it's just not even trying to run
[01:41] <reisio> ah :p
[01:41] <joossee> ianmac1, apt-get purge oppenoffice* ?
[01:41] <cvtsx> FuqUmist: also do you have the suspicious file on hand?
[01:41] <deezed> joossee: yes, ianmac1 is right. But why not just install it from synaptics?
[01:41] <kriskropd> Jouva: do you have permissions set up right? does phpvbox have a user that needs to be added to the vbox group still?
[01:42] <Jouva> kriskropd: I had it running recently-ish.
[01:42] <ianmac1> joossee, sudo apt-get remove name-of-package.deb
[01:42] <ianmac1> for each package you want to remove
[01:42] <joossee> omfg
[01:42] <kriskropd> ish as in almost running or ish as in almost-recently?
[01:42] <kriskropd> Jouva: ^
[01:42] <reisio> cvtsx: he doesn't have a file, some website says his IP is "infected"
[01:42] <Jouva> Maybe a month or two ago. I don't BELIEVE I've rebooted since then. Box was rebooted 45 days ago, but... yeah there's no way I rebooted since then
[01:42] <ianmac1> joossee, Shall I assume there were numerous packages?
[01:42] <Jouva> I've ran this within the past month
[01:42] <joossee> ianmac1, can i do that with a * instead in the DEBS directory of the untaredball?
[01:42] <Ububegin> Our windows server has crashed. Will it possible to use Ubuntu LiveCD to recover data out of it
[01:42] <cvtsx> reisio: o lol
[01:42] <kriskropd> Jouva: if it worked before then that is strange
[01:43] <cvtsx> reisio: what site is saying that?
[01:43] <wilee-nilee> Ububegin, If it mounts yes.
[01:43] <ianmac1> joossee, no, you need to specify package names
[01:43] <Jouva> kriskropd: I know because I did this just after I started my new job which I've only been at for a month on this friday
[01:43] <reisio> that cbl site he mentioned
[01:43] <cvtsx> also this is a perfect example for why you should be using no-script
[01:43] <joossee> seriously i cannot use dpkg to reverse what its done?
[01:44] <ianmac1> joossee, you still need to use individual package names
[01:44] <deezed> joossee: are you trying to install the last version?
[01:44] <reisio> cvtsx: not really, as we have no idea if he even has such a trojan, or how he might have gotten it
[01:44] <wilee-nilee> cvtsx, its not a flash trojan, and I doubt they have it.
[01:44] <kriskropd> Jouva: do you have one of these? '/home/vbox/.VirtualBox/vboxwebsrv.log'
[01:44] <ianmac1> deezed, from what I gather, he used "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in a dir and now wants to remove those packages
[01:44] <reisio> I doubt he has it, either
[01:44] <naz> I never understood linux, cant get games working but developing and sdks work
[01:45] <kriskropd> Jouva: is it updating whenever you try to start the service?
[01:45] <joossee> i installed the appropriate deb package from oppenoffice.org
[01:45] <naz> now games are working and i cant develop
[01:45] <Johnny_Linux> D`oh!
[01:45] <Jouva> Let me go look
[01:45] <ianmac1> joossee, if it's just one .deb package it is as simple as using apt-get to remove it
[01:45] <Jouva> kriskropd: It is no updating it hasn't been updated since October
[01:46] <cvtsx> wilee-nilee: funny you mention that http://krebsonsecurity.com/2013/11/zero-days-rule-novembers-patch-tuesday/
[01:46] <wilee-nilee> General IP's can get a black list if someone is doing something
[01:46] <racho> naz, why can't you develop? what's not working?
[01:46] <naz> python, and also g++ will not compile perfectly good c++ code
[01:47] <FuqUmist> "Behind a NAT, you should be able to find the infected machine by looking for attempted connections to IP address <IP_ADDRESS> or host name flashveralops.pw on any port with a network sniffer such as wireshark."
[01:47] <wolfgang_> I installed kubuntu along side xubuntu a while ago using the command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:47] <wolfgang_> How can I remove it?
[01:47] <deezed> ianmac1: uhm so why not remove?
[01:47] <wolfgang_> Its causing preoblems
[01:47] <wolfgang_> *problems
[01:47] <ianmac1> deezed, that's what I'm trying to help him with
[01:47] <kriskropd> Jouva: I'm not really sure then. Have you updated the system during that time frame? I imagine since phpvbox is reliant on the vbox API, an update could easily mess something up
[01:47] <wilee-nilee> cvtsx, No mention of citadel, that is MS and we all know there that adobe is vulnerable, you point?
[01:47] <wilee-nilee> your*
[01:47] <Jouva> Maybe
[01:47] <cvtsx> idk why i posted it
[01:48] <deezed> wolfgang_: did you try to ask in #kubuntu?
[01:48] <cvtsx> but you can find information about citadel on there. also he is afk
[01:48] <cvtsx> so...
[01:48] <Jouva> kriskropd: I think I had to download a specific version of virtualbox direct from the website as the packages ubuntu wants to install is 4.3 and this wants 4.2
[01:48] <deezed> ianmac1: yes, I just realized it
[01:48] <racho> naz, i have yet to see problems with g++ compiling correct c++ code. and python just works
[01:48] <Jouva> kriskropd: So I believe it's not updating through apt-get
[01:48] <wilee-nilee> cvtsx, I saw no citadel mentioned
[01:48] <cvtsx> on some of his other posts
[01:48] <Jouva> kriskropd: That and it would complain about that being the wrong version anyway I believe
[01:48] <wolfgang_> deezed, The terminal command should be the same in all distro's
[01:49] <xangua> !purexubuntu | wolfgang_
[01:49] <deezed> wolfgang_: true. I'm just asking because maybe they could have told you something useful
[01:49] <cvtsx> http://www.xylibox.com/2013/11/citadel-targeting-canada.html
[01:49] <reisio> cvtsx: shhh
[01:49] <cvtsx> a whois on his irc nick said pennsylvania but
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> lol
[01:50] <deezed> wolfgang_: and the problem you are saying here is not about distros, but desktops
[01:50] <cvtsx> ?
[01:50] <kriskropd> Jouva: can you run vbox from the shell just fine still? 'vboxmanage startvm --type headless /home/vbox/VirtualBox\ VMs/vm-name/vm-name.vbox'
[01:50] <Jouva> Oh. Weird.
[01:50] <Jouva> vboxmanage is GONE
[01:50] <naz> I have no problems on 12.04, 13.10 just does not like my hardware I guess, can't get everything back to normal
[01:50] <reisio> Jouva: no, it's just camelCase
[01:50] <wolfgang_> deezed, I asked here because the most useful people are here, especially if you want an answer fast, thank you.
[01:50] <reisio> VBoxManage
[01:50] <kriskropd> Jouva: try /usr/bin/vboxmanage
[01:50] <Jouva> oh
[01:50] <reisio> first thing you should do is alias it to vboxmanage :p
[01:50] <msdw> who knows how to install zpanel
[01:50]  * joossee agrees with wolfgang_
[01:51] <wilee-nilee> This is a perfect example why not to use Canadian banking, hehe
[01:51] <cvtsx> reisio: srry friend
[01:51] <kriskropd> Jouva: or reissio's suggestion, it does sometimes have uppercase
[01:51] <Jouva> ALSO gone
[01:51] <cvtsx> xD
[01:51] <deezed> wilee-nilee: true
[01:51] <reisio> Jouva: it's not gone, it's either present or not
[01:51] <wilee-nilee> yah sure
[01:51] <deezed> wilee-nilee: south park also says so
[01:51] <Jouva> It's not on my system that's for sure.
[01:51] <Jouva> It was, but now it's somehow not
[01:52] <kriskropd> Jouva: maybe you ran it from another directory, try 'locate VBoxMange' or with lowercase
[01:52] <cuzzo> Why would an ~/.ssh/config file with Host blah; User foo not be equivalent to: $ ssh -l foo blah ?
[01:52] <c_smith> anyone here know how I would add an @ubuntu.com alias to Empathy?
[01:52] <Jouva> Nope. Neither one
[01:52] <wolfgang_> deezed, that is one long command, thank you
[01:52] <kriskropd> Jouva: not sure if that will find it - you could also try to remember when you were installing/unpacking/building if maybe you left it in the Downloads directory or some other working directory and never properly installed it
[01:53] <Jouva> Wait hang on one sec
[01:53] <Jouva> ok n/m I was making sure it wasn't installed in some other directory somehow
[01:54] <wolfgang_> deezed, http://pastebin.com/Qj5piDn8
[01:54] <kriskropd> Jouva: if it's "gone" (:D) then I know why it isn't working, but idk what happened :P
[01:54] <deezed> wolfgang_: sorry. I'm not sure why people actually think I'm rude or trying to fight with them
[01:54] <deezed> =/
[01:54] <Jouva> Yeah it's supposed to be in /usr/lib/virtualbox according to the init.d script
[01:54] <cvtsx> well i would say he possibly could have been infected. since i just looked up his ip and he is from Canada
[01:54] <Jouva> And there's just a directory there ExtensionPacks
[01:54] <wolfgang_> deezed, I dont think you are rude?
[01:55] <reisio> Jouva: what makes you think virtualbox is installed?
[01:55] <kriskropd> Jouva: I remember having some problems with phpvbox before I got it to work and I eventually jsut settled for using vbox from a shell prompt instead
[01:55] <Jouva> reisio: It might somehow be uninstalled
[01:55] <kriskropd> Jouva: but if it's missing, it might've got uninstalled by aptitude somehow
[01:55] <reisio> Jouva: ...
[01:55] <reisio> so you have no reason to think it's installed
[01:55] <wolfgang_> deezed, IM using 13.10 maybe it doesnt work for 13.10
[01:56] <Jouva> reisio: It was recently installed. It might no longer be installed
[01:56] <deezed> wolfgang_: do you know you can do this way: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde ?
[01:56] <deezed> wolfgang_: or either with synaptics
[01:56] <reisio> Jouva: dpkg -L virtualbox | grep -i bin
[01:57] <Jouva> reisio: I did do an auto cleanup after I removed a single package that installed... I believe a bunch of X stuff and I realized I didn't need that package anyway. And well... yeah it uninstalled a little too much, so maybe it also uninstalled things such as virtualbox even though I used a .deb
[01:57] <ianmac1> I love Synaptic, I don't know why Ubuntu doesn't ship with it. Much easier to use and understand than USC
[01:57] <Jouva> nope
[01:57] <wolfgang_> deezed, Thats for installing not removing, but if it comes down to it I could reinstall it
[01:57] <reisio> ianmac1: NIH
[01:57] <deezed> wolfgang_: anyway. just for asking, did you add the kubuntu repository?
[01:58] <deezed> ianmac1: agree!! totally
[01:58] <wolfgang_> deezed, No, that could be why its not installed correctley, oops :/
[01:58] <ianmac1> reisio, NIH?
[01:58] <deezed> wolfgang_: http://www.noobslab.com/2013/02/install-kde-410-in-ubuntu-12101204linux.html
[01:58] <deezed> wolfgang_: maybe it can help
[01:58] <wolfgang_> deezed, I just want it gone
[01:58] <xangua> and this is what happend when people don't read the questions :)
[01:58] <mammuth> #ubuntu-fr
[01:58] <kriskropd> Jouva: you might need to run 'dpkg -L virtualbox4.2 | grep -i bin' actually, try tab-completing on virtualbxos to see the versions
[01:59] <reisio> ianmac1: not invented here
[01:59] <ianmac1> reisio, Ah, true
[01:59] <reisio> commercial entities make more money if they control what they're selling
[01:59] <Jouva> kriskropd: It has some remnants, but it looks like it's pretty much not installed
[01:59] <ianmac1> good point
[02:00] <kriskropd> Jouva: Zalgo invaded your system when you weren't looking, I guess
[02:00] <Jouva> Just the /etc/default and /etc/init.s and a /usr/lib/virtualbox directory
[02:00] <kriskropd> lol
[02:00] <deezed> reisio: thats true
[02:01] <Jouva> I always forget if x86_64 IS amd64 or not
[02:01] <dustinspringman> so... Xrandr is seriously confused... its showing HDMI connected when I'm plugged into DP1... how can I fix this?
[02:01] <kriskropd> Jouva: *64* is always *64*
[02:01] <reisio> Jouva: x86_64 is the new name for amd64
[02:01] <Jouva> ok
[02:02] <reisio> renaming things, great way to confuse people
[02:02] <wolfgang_> deezed, I found a tutorial on it, but it looks like since it is installed wrong it wont work, and its been causing errors, so maybe I need to reinstall linux?
[02:02] <reisio> "let's change its name so it's less confusing!"
[02:02] <wilee-nilee> hehe
[02:02] <reisio> "uhhh, but I already knew it was named 'amd64'"
[02:02] <kriskropd> "confuses everyone"
[02:02] <reisio> classic stabbing in the back of people who aren't ignorant
[02:02] <Jouva> It's kinda true that it should be not amd64 anymore
[02:02] <reisio> in an attempt to help the ignorant masses
[02:02] <deezed> wolfgang_: I dont think so
[02:02] <Jouva> Because of Intel having 64 bit
[02:02] <reisio> and you end up just confusing everyone
[02:02] <deezed> wolfgang_: try to uninstall and purge it
[02:02] <wilee-nilee> lets call it multiarch
[02:02] <wolfgang_> deezed, Well what should I do now?
[02:03] <deezed> wolfgang_: then just install it again
[02:03] <wolfgang_> deezed, and then try to uninstall?
[02:03] <kriskropd> my 64 bit nintendo
[02:03] <wolfgang_> deezed, So how do I add the correct distro's?
[02:03] <xangua> !purexfce | wolfgang_ second time i mention it to you
[02:04] <reisio> Jouva: nonsense
[02:04] <reisio> I just got done explaining...
[02:04] <reisio> you can't rename something, all that does is gives something TWO names
[02:04] <reisio> it's always that way
[02:04] <reisio> binary MB vs decimal
[02:04] <wolfgang_> xangua that wont work, probably because its meant for 12.10.
[02:04] <reisio> AD vs CE
[02:04] <reisio> it never works, not ever
[02:04] <FloodBot1> reisio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:04] <DZane> Hola folks. I have a question in regards to an ancient little machine I threw Ubuntu 12 on. I'm unable to change the resolution using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Unable%20to%20change%20Screen%20resolution%20in%20Ubuntu
[02:04] <reisio> FloodBot1: suck an egg
[02:04] <deezed> wolfgang_: So I would do like that: first uninstall and purge what you installed and wasnt working properly, then add its repo, then install it from synaptics
[02:05] <reisio> DZane: using what
[02:05] <xangua> wolfgang_: this is what happen when people read there is a new blog  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-xubuntu/
[02:05] <wolfgang_> deezed, I tried, but its not recognizing its existance.
[02:05] <DZane> I open /usr/bin/compis as it says and it comes up all nice and corrup looking
[02:06] <DZane> It's an AAAANCIENT Dell Optiplex with this graphics card
[02:06] <DZane>  Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)
[02:06] <wolfgang_> xangua, http://pastebin.com/Qj5piDn8
[02:07] <wolfgang_> xangua, doesnt work.
[02:07] <DZane> Old as heck, but I'm going to be turning it into a simple little DMZ with some slick packages a buddy of mine in Okinawa wrote.
[02:07] <xangua> wolfgang_: you really don't like to read :) you are using the instructions to remove Ubuntu, not Kubuntu
[02:08] <deezed> wolfgang_: so do you plan to stay just with kde or both?
[02:08] <wolfgang_> deezed, Remove kde and use xubuntu which is what I started with
[02:09] <wolfgang_> xangua, I didnt read wrong, I used the one for kubuntu, and even if I used the one for ubuntu it would of worked because I have both
[02:09] <deezed> wolfgang_: ok, so cant you remove it with "sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop" ?
[02:09] <wolfgang_> deezed, wolfgang@Sawyer:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop
[02:09] <wolfgang_> Reading package lists... Done
[02:09] <wolfgang_> Building dependency tree
[02:09] <wolfgang_> Reading state information... Done
[02:09] <wolfgang_> Package 'kubuntu-desktop' is not installed, so not removed
[02:09] <wolfgang_> The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
[02:09] <FloodBot1> wolfgang_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:09] <wilee-nilee> deezed, No desktop are meta packages.
[02:10] <DZane> This is the article I read, reisio
[02:10] <DZane> http://tinyurl.com/monlrc3
[02:10] <reisio> DZane: I believe you
[02:10] <ianorlin> !pastebinit | wolfgang_
[02:10] <spitboxer> thanks Ari-Yang and racho, got it working by putting some xrandr startup scripts in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf instead of modifying xorg.conf
[02:10] <deezed> wilee-nilee: uhm, so what about trying to remove it from software manager itself? would it work?
[02:10] <wolfgang_> iannorlin, I didnt think it is to big, I know what pastebin is...
[02:10] <spitboxer> now for my next impossible question, lol...
[02:11] <spitboxer> is there any easy way to bump the font-size up system-wide ? =)
[02:11] <DZane> Think it's just a case of ancient hardware not handling what I put on it?
[02:11] <wilee-nilee> deezed, You need a package list like was posted to remove completely, what release is this?
[02:11] <DZane> I had the same issues in Ubuntu 10.04 as well, did the upgrade to 12.04
[02:12] <spitboxer> like, if I'm going blind, because I sit to close to a giant screen. How can I bump the font size up system wide? What happens if I change System settings -> Fonts
[02:12] <deezed> wilee-nilee: It seems that anything is installed: http://pastebin.com/Qj5piDn8
[02:12] <spitboxer> er
[02:12] <DZane> @Spitboxer: System Settings > Universal Access
[02:12] <ds_> hello all
[02:12] <spitboxer> what happens if I check System Settings -> Fonts -> [] Force Fonts DPI
[02:13] <spitboxer> DZane: I dontt see a Universal Access, actually
[02:13] <DZane> Which flavor you using?
[02:13] <ds_> interesting problem here .. im installing fail2ban on ubu server 13.10, and during install, it just freezes. nothing happens during the part where it says starting fail2ban monitor
[02:13] <spitboxer> DZane: kubuntu
[02:13] <racho> spitboxer, because that's a gnome thing and you sound like kde
[02:13] <wilee-nilee> deezed, I see gtk2 and gtk3 not sure if they mix, what is it you are doing and the end goal here?
[02:13] <DZane> ooooh....
[02:13] <spitboxer> aha!
[02:13] <spitboxer> Ive been using gnome
[02:14] <DZane> ???
[02:14] <spitboxer> but I decided to give kde a whirl this time around
[02:14] <DZane> AAAH
[02:14] <racho> spitboxer, yes you can force system wide dpi through there and bump it above 96 if you have massive screen estate
[02:14] <spitboxer> racho I'm on a 65" mitsubishi DLP, hence the legendary mitsubishi overscan problem
[02:14] <Jouva> Welp an install of virtualbox-4.2 fixed it
[02:14] <spitboxer> and setting this up more or less to be a media center machine
[02:15] <DZane> Spitboxer, I hate you now
[02:15] <DZane> lol
[02:15] <Jouva> Shocker of the year: phpVirtualbox requires virtualbox to be installed :B
[02:15] <Jouva> But I guess I somehow uninstalled it and forgot
[02:15] <deezed> wilee-nilee: wolfgang_ has tried to install kubuntu-desktop over xubuntu, but kubuntu installation had some problems. Now he just wants to remove kubuntu completly from his machine
[02:15] <spitboxer> DZane: trust me, its not all its cracked up to be. 65" DLP is not very high fidelity, no way to get exact 1:1 pixel display on it
[02:15] <spitboxer> DZane: also, I use a 42" samsung LED for my desktop for acouple years now. As a result, I need glasses. :-(
[02:16] <DZane> Spitboxer: I bet so lol Still, it has it's uses
[02:17] <wolfgang_> deezed, My dad is trying to make me go, so bye, thank you, and no, I already tried, it failed I needed help removing what it screwed up, I will just reinstall linux bye, and thank you for your helo
[02:17] <wilee-nilee> deezed, I'm not interested in helping them to be honest, I have enough gray hairs already. ;)
[02:17] <wolfgang_> deezed *help
[02:17] <DZane> @The General Crowd: I have an ancient Dell with the Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04), and can't get my resolution above 1024 x 768
[02:17] <deezed> wolfgang_: no problem! bye
[02:17] <deezed> wilee-nilee: ok
[02:18] <DZane> I tried a few things, mainly this: http://tinyurl.com/monlrc3 but it didn't work: the file it says to edit comes up corrupt as hell
[02:18] <DZane> And I've been out of Linux for about a decade or so, so I'm rustier than the Tin Man after a typhoon
[02:19] <ds_> anyone can give me a hand with apt ? a package just "hangs" during install. ive killed it and tried the apt-get install -f deal, but same thing. also dpkg --configure -a. no love whatsoever ....
[02:19] <DZane> And even then I didn't know a whole lot
[02:20] <sam113101> whenever I replug my wireless _mouse_ I need to reapply xmodmap (my keyboard is wired), how do you explain that?
 and the linux you knew back then is a whole lot different now
[02:20] <racho> sam113101, X11
[02:20] <deezed> ds_: which package?
[02:20] <DZane> @Danato: It's mindblowing
[02:20] <ds_> fail2ban
[02:20] <ds_> ccant figure it out
[02:20] <sam113101> racho: it's shit
[02:21] <racho> sam113101, it is... i hope wayland comes asap. i have a r.a.t. 9. it's a mess
[02:21] <deezed> ds_: can you pastebin the output
[02:21] <deezed> ?
[02:21] <wolfspy> How do you get a rat on ubuntu>
[02:21] <ds_> sure
[02:21] <ds_> one sec
[02:21] <SamuraiDio> wilee-nilee, it worked
 so did you jst start catching up?
[02:22] <ds_> dumb question ... how do i direct a comment to someone in irc ?
[02:22] <SamuraiDio> wilee-nilee, seens the problem was my usb-drive
[02:22] <kriskropd> ds_: like this
[02:22] <deezed> ds_: just write his name. or the begning of it and then tab
[02:22] <DZane> @Danato: I did. It's not one of those things I wanted to do, more of a neccesity
[02:23] <racho> DZane, are you trying to run unity with that pc?
[02:23] <ds_> deezed: got it , thanks. ill pastebi that in a sec
[02:23] <DZane> lol 2D only, bud
[02:23] <deezed> ds_: ok
[02:23] <DZane> I may be out of my element, but I'm not THAT lost. It actually pushes the 3D dang smooth for an old hunk of junk
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> SamuraiDio, Ah, it happens never had any fail fail here but I hera it happens, or at least troubles anyway.
[02:24] <DZane> *2D rather
 maybe youll end up liking it a lot.  I'm attempting to get a bug fixed on launchpad, and I've been given a .patch file, but I do not know what to do to apply it properly. I can follow terminal commands; can anyone assist me?
[02:29] <dancemasterglenn> I can provide a link to the bug page if that is of interest.
[02:30] <nosmelc> Any ideas why a machine won't boot from Ubuntu 13.10 on a flash drive?  It should be new enough(core 2 duo) to support that, and I tested it on another machine
[02:30] <ds_> deezed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413852/      --- just sits there, and my term is "dead"
[02:30] <wilee-nilee> dancemasterglenn, State the issues and post the bug link and the fix.
[02:30] <kriskropd> dancemasterglenn: do you have a copy of the source files available to compile?
[02:31] <dancemasterglenn> I've been unable to access the sound settings menu for months, when my audio interface is plugged in.
[02:31] <somsip> ds_: tail -f /var/log/fail2ban.log
[02:31] <dancemasterglenn> here's the link to the bug:
[02:31] <dancemasterglenn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1131220
[02:31] <deezed> ds_: wait. can you try to remove it and then reinstall it?
[02:31] <dancemasterglenn> the patch file was uploaded there, they were going to make me a ppa but they haven't had time to in the last few days.
[02:31] <somsip> ds_: F2B is very particular about permissions in /etc/fail2ban
[02:32] <deezed> ds_: you said the problem was in the installation first right?
[02:32] <ds_> somsip: it just hangs when i tailed that
[02:32] <ds_> deezed: i have to kill dpkg one sec
[02:32] <somsip> ds_: then try to start it again and you should see some output unless it's really b0rked
[02:33] <ds_> deezed: correct. cant get past the install for some reason..
[02:33] <racho> dancemasterglenn, usually you apply a patch to the source of the program and then recompile the said program
[02:33] <kriskropd> dancemasterglenn: which can be done with 'patch' - appropriately named
[02:33] <ds_> deezed:  it tells me dpkg was interupted, and to run dpkg --configure -a. ive done that, and it the same thing
[02:34] <deezed> ds_: its not a big deal. just install it normally, copy the output and paste on any pastebin website
[02:34] <kriskropd> dancemasterglenn: usually you go to the root directory of the source code, 'patch -p0 < /path/to/patch.diff'
[02:34] <dancemasterglenn> Racho, I figured that would be the case, but I'm not positive which program I'd be applying it to. gvc-mixer-control?
[02:34] <deezed> ds_: can you try to reinstall it before dpkg-reconfigure -a again?
[02:35] <kriskropd> dancemasterglenn: then just ./configure and make
[02:35] <ds_> deezed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6413870/ ill try what you last said one sec
[02:36] <ds_> driving me nuts
[02:37] <racho> dancemasterglenn, afaik this leads to libgnome-volume-control
[02:37] <deezed> ds_: did you try to reboot it already?
[02:37] <ds_> deezed: is the a way to force the removal with apt ?
[02:37] <dancemasterglenn> Does it matter that I didn't compile any of this code from source? This is all from my normal install, so I'm not sure if the source for the program running (whichever program it is) is on here or if I just have binaries
[02:37] <ds_> deezed: actually, ythat i ddint .. its on a remote box, but ill give it a shot now
[02:38] <racho> dancemasterglenn, well you will need the source to apply the patch. the other option is to wait for a ppa (which is actually the binary of the source with the applied patch)
[02:39] <racho> dancemasterglenn, the third option is to download libgnome-volume-control source code, apply the patch and use apt/dpkg to build a deb package out of it
[02:39] <deezed> ds_: there is an option to force in apt but its dangerous. its --force-yes. but I wouldnt use it
[02:39] <kriskropd> dancemasterglenn: to test it, you would run the locally nuilt copy of the program, to have it in place of the "normal install" you would need to move all the built files to the appropriate locations
[02:39] <racho> dancemasterglenn, and install it
[02:39] <kriskropd> ~built*
[02:39] <deezed> ds_: maybe the option --fix-broken can help you more
[02:41] <dancemasterglenn> whew. Maybe I should just be waiting for the ppa then... I just figured if I should try and figure out this patch stuff if I can. Sounds a bit daunting though.
[02:41] <ds_> deezed: as in apt-get --fix-broken ?
[02:41] <dancemasterglenn> how would I get the source to libgnome-volume-control, if I were going to try and patch it?
[02:42] <deezed> ds_: I think so
[02:42] <racho> dancemasterglenn, https://git.gnome.org/browse/
[02:42] <ds_> deezed: one sec
[02:43] <racho> dancemasterglenn, https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnome-volume-control/
[02:43] <racho> use the source luke :)
[02:43] <deezed> ds_: anyway, did you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban to configure fail2ban?
[02:43] <Danato> guys what IRC do you like the most?
[02:44] <Danato> *IRC client
[02:44] <racho> dancemasterglenn, also keep in mind gnome's git repo is for 3.10+ while ubuntu still uses 3.8
[02:44] <ds_> deezed:  i did. up to the install that os
[02:44] <ianorlin> !best
[02:44] <ds_> is
[02:44] <fobelx> can i use ubuntu as a base for a commercial system? if yes, do i need to pay licensing fees?
[02:45] <deezed> ds_: uhm
[02:45] <deezed> ok
[02:45] <dancemasterglenn> racho, so there might be other issues on top of simply applying the patch, when i go to test?
[02:45] <Ububegin> fobelx: no, ubuntu is free...
[02:46] <alistair> Has anyone else had problems with their encrypted home directory recently (Ubuntu 13.04)?  I rebooted my laptop this morning and can no longer access it.  Just wondering if it is possible a recent update caused problems.
[02:46] <deezed> ds_: I would try something like: sudo 'dpkg-reconfigure -a', then apt-get remove again
[02:47] <lf94> Ububegin: With what Canonical makes a user go through before downloading, that could change. :)
[02:47] <Danato>  <ianorlin> my question was never which client is the "best", I asked which one do you like the most, your personal preference
[02:47] <racho> dancemasterglenn, i also recall apt-get can fetch sources
[02:48] <ianorlin> weechat
[02:48] <racho> dancemasterglenn, so you may pool the source code straight from the ubuntu source repos
[02:48] <racho> *pull
[02:48] <kriskropd> Danato: a poll is a poll is a poll is a poll
[02:49] <kriskropd> irssi :x
[02:49] <deezed> ds_: ?
[02:49] <deezed> kriskropd: indeed its nice
[02:50] <deezed> Danato: but xchat is so easy
[02:50] <dancemasterglenn> racho, that might be better... let me check and see if i can do that
[02:51] <kriskropd> deezed: but xchat uses gtk, doesn't it? i can access my irssi over ssh from anywhere, like I do
[02:51] <kriskropd> Danato: these discussions get offtopic, as you can see, which is why we refrain from asking such questions here - you really ought to ask that again in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:51] <deezed> kriskropd: thats true. I actually dont use xchat much. I use more konversation, from kde, and irssi
[02:51] <Danato>  ianorlin: thank you
[02:51] <dancemasterglenn> E: Unable to find a source package for gnome-volume-control
[02:52] <deezed> kriskropd: but accessing from anywhere you mean any terminal or shell, right?
[02:53] <Danato> kriskropd: ok no problem
[02:53] <kriskropd> deezed: yeah, I have a bash-fetish I think :X
[02:54] <deezed> kriskropd: haha, nice!
[02:55] <dancemasterglenn> racho, looking through synaptic and not seeing anything that looks quite like gnome-volume-control, gvc, etc... would it be contained in a larger overall package, possibly?
[02:56] <racho> dancemasterglenn, quite possible
[02:56] <dancemasterglenn> hmm.
[02:56] <deezed> ds_: so?
[02:58] <ds_> deezed: sorry bout that .. i restarted the vm, snd the /etc/fail2ban.conf is hal there? it stops at fail2band pid file. when i try to remove, it says dpkg --configure -a. and still the same issue
[02:59] <ds_> deezed: nevermind ,, reboot worked ! thanks !
[02:59] <deezed> ds_: ok! no problem
[02:59] <deezed> ds_: btw it always helps
[02:59] <ds_> deezed:  yes?
[02:59] <marz> I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed, magnet links does not work with utorrent/utserver, does anyone know how to make it work?
[02:59] <ds_> deezed: it do as they say
[03:00] <reisio> marz: use deluge instead
[03:01] <marz> reisio: I'll try that. Thanks
[03:03] <DZane> Seems I got banned and don't know why
[03:04] <DZane> Swapped to AFK status and that was it
[03:04] <reisio> doesn't seem like you're banned to me
[03:04] <reisio> although nobody cares if you're afk
[03:04] <DZane> not anymore
[03:04] <DZane> and I know they don't
[03:05] <DZane> No one ever does, reisio
[03:05] <reisio> and yet you keep telling us
[03:05] <DZane> For a guy with a cool name you seem like quite the smartass.
[03:05] <DZane> Good show, Sir
[03:06] <reisio> you read too much into plain text
[03:06] <reisio> nobody cares if anyone goes afk
[03:07] <DZane> I had only mentioned it previously because I was trying to get help with an issue, and didn't want someone to answer when I was away and have me miss it
[03:07] <DZane> Common courtesy, and I didn't want to miss an important tip
[03:07] <TheyTookrJobs> !screenshot
[03:07] <wilee-nilee> DZane, someone answering when your away is about as likely as you winning a noble prize.
[03:08] <reisio> just say 'going afk'
[03:08] <reisio> it's apparent when a person is afk because they don't say anything
[03:08] <reisio> /whois dzane
[03:08] <reisio> no such person
[03:08] <DZane> Wilee-nilee the chances of anyone answering anyway are slim
[03:08] <reisio> 'cause you changed your nick
[03:08] <wilee-nilee> DZane, you guessed it yes.
[03:09] <dancemasterglenn> I think that I'm going to keep at getting in touch with the guys who offered to make me a ppa, hopefully they will come through for me. racho, kriskropd, thank you both for your advice!
[03:10] <judgen> How do i get an atheros ethernet card to work in 12.04? I have updated to kernel 3.11
[03:10] <MasterRoshi> :-*
[03:11] <reisio> judgen: which o ne?
[03:11] <DZane> judgen: just curious, is it the AR8161?
[03:11] <judgen> AR8161
[03:11] <DZane> lol
[03:12] <judgen> yes but it works by default in debian (with firmware enabled netboot iso)
[03:12] <DZane> judgen: http://askubuntu.com/questions/257852/ubuntu-12-04-not-recognizing-atheros-ar8161-gigabit-ethernet
[03:12] <MasterRoshi>
[03:12] <DZane> Take a look at that, see if it applies
[03:13] <DZane> Saw it earlier. I have a similar card in another machine, and was doing research on what I could expect to have issues with before an install
[03:13] <xangua> !nickspam
[03:14] <judgen> i hav  linux-generic-lts-saucy installed.
[03:15] <judgen> 3.11.0-13-generic #20~precise2-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 24
[03:15] <Vivekananda> Hey everyone. Can anyone tell me where mysql db would be stored in ubuntu and also can I somehow copy it and use it on a different machine ?
[03:16] <OlderThanDirt> Judgen: Have you tried this one? http://tinyurl.com/9l29w3p
[03:17] <somsip> Vivekananda: /var/lib/mysql. Copy the entire contents of the db folder in there and it should work
[03:17] <marz> I'm in the middle of customizing gedit, I'm following this website: http://www.micahcarrick.com/gedit-html-editor.html. How do I download an xml file?
[03:19] <somsip> right click in a browser and Save As, or use something ina terminal like 'wget http://www.micahcarrick.com/files/gedit_php_highlight.xml"
[03:19] <Vivekananda> somsip: okay let me try. Also, is there a way I can get a .sql file out of the files in there ? Or do I have to first get it to work and use a tool like mysql workbench to create a .sql dump ?
[03:19] <somsip> Vivekananda: you get a sql dump by using mysqldump
[03:20] <OlderThanDirt> Can anyone recommend a good script editor? Something I can chang /usr/bin/compiz with. gedit didn't like the encoding one bit, and I need to make some edits
[03:20] <somsip> OlderThanDirt: that's a binary file
[03:20] <OlderThanDirt> lol I need to just drop this GUI and go back to a CLI only interface
[03:20] <OlderThanDirt> These icons don't tell me jack squat lol
[03:21] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: use vim :D
[03:22] <OlderThanDirt> I was trying to follow an instruction set here: http://tinyurl.com/monlrc3 and when I ran gedit, it hated it
[03:22] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: and like somsip said, thats a bianry file, you have to edit the source code after acquiring it and then rebuild it
[03:22] <kriskropd> binary*
[03:22] <OlderThanDirt> hmmm.... sounds like the instructions I got a hold of are bad, or I'm misunderstanding them
[03:22] <OlderThanDirt> Thanks, guys
[03:23] <somsip> OlderThanDirt: well...that guide does says it's a script. I don't have the file myself, but I'm surprised its not a binary
[03:23] <sgo11> hi, in ubuntu 13.10, when I run "modprobe -l", it gives me invalid option error. how can I list all modules? where does "-l" go? thanks.
[03:23] <ki4ro> Should I upgrade from 12.04 to 13.10 or leave it alone?
[03:23] <reisio> sgo11: lsmod
[03:23] <fobelx> i want to get all x11 source packages for ubuntu edgy. how can i do this?
[03:23] <Vivekananda> somsip: there is a file /usr/lib/mysql but there is none /var/lib/mysql
[03:23] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: wait a sec, not all files in /bin are compield binaries
[03:24] <sgo11> reisio, lsmod does not return the module I just installed. I used to use "modprobe -l" to check it.
[03:24] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: ah nvm, compiz is infact compiled - bad instructions indeed
[03:24] <somsip> Vivekananda: that is likely to be a library and not data. Check /etc/mysql/my.cnf for the location of your data files if it is non-standard
[03:24] <sgo11> reisio, I can see the .ko file under drivers/hid/.
[03:24] <sgo11> reisio, in the old days, modprobe -l will give me that module.
[03:25] <OlderThanDirt> krikropd: I see what you mean
[03:25] <reisio> sgo11: sudo modprobe modulename && lsmod
[03:25] <OlderThanDirt> I wonder if they didn't mean compiz-decorator but it doesn't look like it
[03:25] <danato1> ping Danato
[03:27] <sgo11> reisio, that works. it basically loads the module. but what if I just want to check the modules I installed rather than loading it? thanks.
[03:28] <esuave> can someone please explain to me what lacp_rate does? and how will i benefit using lacp_rate fast vs lacp_rate slow?
[03:28] <OlderThanDirt> kriskropd: I wonder if I shouldn't chuck compiz in favor of something lighter, like metacity
[03:28] <reisio> sgo11: check it for what?
[03:28] <judgen> ok i found out that "linux-backports-modules-cw-3.*" is supposed to carry the alx driver. But it does not. Only one specific version (3.4 appearantly) has it in the package. So i would either have to downgrade or make from source. Rather odd packaging.
[03:28] <reisio> sgo11: its existence?
[03:28] <reisio> sgo11: isn't the .ko evidence enough?
[03:28] <wilee-nilee> ki4ro, Why would you ask us?
[03:29] <OlderThanDirt> I have an ANCIENT Dell Optiplex with the onboard graphics
[03:29] <sgo11> reisio, yeah. its existence. I don't want to find by file. I want "modprobe -l" or similar command. thanks.
[03:29] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: i run 'dwm' by suckless ontop of plain ol xorg and everythign works out of the box for me - if i want fancy things I run 'xcompmgr' or 'compton'
[03:29] <sgo11> reisio, I don't understand why "modprobe -l" removed.
[03:29] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: that probably is too lighweight for most people though, I know people that don't think it's light enough though XD
[03:29] <ki4ro> wilee-nilee because I´m not sure if it is worth messing with or stay with the LTS version
[03:29] <fritz_> hie people, i installed ubuntu 13.10 on a drive/partition which had linux mint. however i did not format the drive. the problem is that when i try to install using terminal, i get the following message
[03:29] <fritz_> sh: 1: /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSources/mintSources.py: not found
[03:30] <reisio> sgo11: 'cause someone didn't like it :)
[03:30] <OlderThanDirt> kriskropd: The last time I played with Linux was about 10-ish years ago
[03:30] <wilee-nilee> ki4ro, Really, so subjective opinions will fees a confirmation bias.
[03:30] <wilee-nilee> feed*
[03:30] <pol2588> hola alguien que hable español
[03:30] <sgo11> reisio, :) ok. but why someone doesn't like it....this does not make any sense.
[03:30] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: its gotten a lot more bloated, complicated and "user-friendly" since then :)
[03:31] <reisio> sgo11: humans don't make sense, we can check the changelog, though
[03:31] <pol2588> hola alguien que me diga como activar el modo o la interfaz grafica de ubuntu server 12.04
[03:31] <kriskropd> OlderThanDirt: not that I would know, I only started using linux a few years ago
[03:31] <OlderThanDirt> kriskropd: It is what it is
[03:31] <ki4ro> wilee-nilee Huh?
[03:32] <fritz_> hie people, i installed ubuntu 13.10 on a drive/partition which had linux mint. however i did not format the drive. the problem is that when i try to install using terminal, i get the following message
[03:32] <fritz_> sh: 1: /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSources/mintSources.py: not found
[03:34] <sgo11> reisio, may I ask you some more questions? I installed this module/driver by compiling the kernel and install the new kernel. the module is not loaded by default. how can I let ubuntu load it in every boot? simply add the name to /etc/modules ? is this enough?
[03:36] <wilee-nilee> ki4ro, opinions here are intrinsically, all opinions really and this is confirmation bias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias  We want you to make your own decisions based on good reason and research.
[03:36] <nezzarioX> So, what is the serious difference between Xubuntu and ubuntu; apt-get install xfce4 ?
[03:36] <xmetal> hmm
[03:37] <xmetal> !xubuntu
[03:37] <OlderThanDirt>      Uses XFCE as the desktop environment     XFCE is a fork of the old GNOME desktop, aimed at being lightweight but still usable.     runs decently on lower end/old hardware     Not exactly "super fast", but better than GNOME/Unity/KDE
[03:37] <marz> How do I apply the dark_mate theme to my gedit. Like this one http://grigio.org/tag/darkmate
[03:37] <danato1> test
[03:37] <OlderThanDirt> Apparently I should be looking at it myself
[03:37] <nezzarioX> so it's literally just ubuntu with xfce4 preinstalled?
[03:37] <OlderThanDirt> Apparently so
[03:37] <xmetal> ubuntu + xfce = xubuntu
[03:37] <xmetal> basically yes
[03:38] <nezzarioX> well t hat doesn't seem to warrent a distro, but I'm not going to argue with you linux guys... ;)
[03:38] <reisio> nezzarioX: and themed a particular way, yup
[03:38] <xmetal> otherwise you download the xfce packages and can use it that way
[03:38] <xangua> OlderThanDirt: xfce a fotk of the old gnome desktop¿ lol
[03:38] <ki4ro> wilee-nilee I´m trying to form an opinion by querying other users
[03:38] <xmetal> the way I downloaded "Ubuntu"/Unity packages for the distro i use
[03:38] <nezzarioX> I was not impressed with iceWM
[03:39] <OlderThanDirt> @reisio: given my old as hell machine, do you think it'd be worth it to switch over to Xubuntu?
[03:39] <nezzarioX> also, not impressed with everybody REALLY wants me to use gdm instead of just logging in on a freaking terminal and typing startx
[03:39] <xmetal> i have to say that though its lagging, i am impressed with lxde
[03:39] <xmetal> er
[03:39] <OlderThanDirt> Or something as lightweight
[03:39] <xmetal> lacking i mean
[03:39] <nezzarioX> OlderThanDirt, I am coming from  you from a celeron with 512mb of RAM
[03:39] <xmetal> not a bad DE (lxde)
[03:39] <nezzarioX> openbox+dillo seems to work well enough to get around
[03:40] <reisio> OlderThanDirt: proc/ram?
[03:40] <wilee-nilee> ki4ro, yes exactly a subjective opinion based on confirmation bias, and by the way this is not a polling channel it is support. You have a clue of some of the differences step up and decide for your self. ;)
[03:40] <xmetal> ack @ 512 ... i'd go with (try it anyway) xfce, lxde or enlightment on that
[03:40] <OlderThanDirt> I'm working with an old Dell Optiplex GX280 with a pentium 4, 1GB of RAM, anda Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL onboard video
[03:40] <Nach0z> lxde <3
[03:40] <nezzarioX> xmetal, i'm installing xfce now
[03:41] <OlderThanDirt> like I said, it's old
[03:41] <xmetal> hmm i have an old pc with 1.79ghz processor and 768 ... was going to try (xfce) on that but that hardware is failing
[03:41] <xmetal> doesn't work 1/2 the time
[03:41] <xmetal> i like xfce... even on my faster PC
[03:41] <xmetal> thats what I like about Linux .. can use w/e dE i feel like at a certain time
[03:41] <xmetal> :)
[03:41] <judgen> nezzarioX, if you want X without having to write startx or load a display manager for login you can always use the "nodm" package.
[03:42] <nezzarioX> judgen, dear god thank you
[03:42] <kriskropd> since we're discussing this, I might ask the question that brought me here a few hours ago that never got answered - does anyone here know which aLL packages need to be purged and removed for xorg?
[03:42] <OlderThanDirt> I can plug away with the 12.04 default GUI, in 2D, but I can't get it to recognize different resolutions
[03:42] <reisio> OlderThanDirt: that should be okay with Ubuntu, but better with Xfce, yeah
[03:42] <kriskropd> I'm fixing a borken xubuntu 12.04 install that updated ins tyle and failed
[03:43] <judgen> nezzarioX, when you install it it tells you to edit a text file to select what user and to enable it (as it is disabled by default)
[03:43] <judgen> nezzarioX, i use it all the time.
[03:44] <OlderThanDirt> reisio: thanks for the info. Like I've mentioned, I've never really gotten to know Linux that well, so I'm a n00b, to use the new word for rookie
[03:44] <nezzarioX>  that's not exactly a new word
[03:44] <nezzarioX> 'word'
[03:45] <OlderThanDirt> rookie has been around a lot longer than n00b, my friend
[03:45] <OlderThanDirt> lol
[03:45] <solomonix> has anyone had any luck installing mumble:i386 on x86_64 Saucy?  I've been smacking into a lot of multilib dependency hell lately :-\
[03:45] <OlderThanDirt> I remember the first time I heard it back in the 90's, and didn't have a clue
[03:45] <reisio> yeah but when I get my time machine I'll fix that
[03:45] <xmetal> i never had that issue with dependencies on ubuntu/mint here ... only slackware
[03:46] <OlderThanDirt> You do that, reisio
[03:46] <nezzarioX> i remember when slackware was cool
[03:46] <xmetal> of course i stick with the package manager versions of software in these versions
[03:46] <nezzarioX> that's about as far as I go
[03:46]  * wilee-nilee waits 10 seconds to see if reisio reappears from that time machine
[03:46] <Danato_> testing
[03:47] <OlderThanDirt> Give me a TARDIS and a sonic screwdriver and set me loose
[03:47] <nezzarioX> speaking of retarded\
[03:47] <Vivekananda> somsip: thanks.  Who
[03:47] <xmetal> he got lost and went back to 1985 i guess
[03:48] <nezzarioX> i'd really like to watch some media on here tonight if possible, .. how would I go about sound?
[03:48] <Vivekananda> somsip: a question though. If I am a new user how would I know that my.cnf is actually the file I should go to when trying to locate the info for mysql ?
[03:48] <Vivekananda> other than asking you or someone here ?
[03:48] <judgen> nezzarioX, if your sound services got borked. make sure that alsa-tools, alsa-utils and lsb is installed.
[03:48] <nezzarioX> yeah, alsa-tools sounds like what I deinstalled
[03:48] <nezzarioX> 99.9% of the time it sits headless over here
[03:49] <judgen> nezzarioX, alsa uses extremely little power though. Pulse uses a little more, but it runs on top of alsa and is not needed unless you need the extra features.
[03:49] <somsip> Vivekananda: you read about the software you are using to find out how it works
[03:50] <nezzarioX> i just need stereo sound through this ancient onboard audio
[03:50] <nezzarioX> with vlc
[03:50] <judgen> nezzarioX, then alsa would do fine. Remember to look in the vlc preferences that it uses a output plugin that you have installed on the system
[03:51] <nezzarioX> i don't think the kernel sees the audio device though
[03:51] <judgen> i never use pulse as sound crackles even with the tsched tricgger set.
[03:51] <judgen> nezzarioX, is it listed in lspci?
[03:52] <Vivekananda> so I read about mysql to find it out right ?
[03:52] <judgen> time for a reboot for me.. hopefully my driver issues will be solved now
[03:52] <nezzarioX> sorry, the kernel sees it, ..  Some people clearly come on here with no evidence that they've tried to find something out for themselves.
[03:55] <Nautilus> Vivek: googling the right things helps greatly  ...
[03:55] <Nautilus> for example, installing SQL?   search on: mysql configure ubuntu
[03:55] <nezzarioX> Vivekananda, wfirefox &
[03:55] <nezzarioX> crap i'm sorry
[03:56] <gharz> hi, guys... need your help. everytime i open a terminal... the first line says "eport: command not found"... i wonder where this comes from? checked the .bashrc but couldn't find it. any idea?
[03:56] <Vivekananda> Nautilus: thanks :)
[03:56] <Vivekananda> nezzarioX: np
[03:57] <somsip> gharz: .bash_aliases maybe?
[03:57] <racho> gharz, you sure there is an export typed as eport?
[03:57] <IcemanV9> gharz: eport should be export
[03:58] <gharz> racho: and it could be in .bashrc?
[03:58] <racho> y
[03:58] <marz> How do i apply a theme to gedit permanently?
[03:58] <gharz> racho: omg!!!!!! you are correct!!!!!!
[03:59] <gharz> on the last line of my .bashrc i added an export path blah blah... you are so awesome! thank you! thanks IcemanV9
[03:59] <Rallias> What debug commands can I run on openvswitch to figure out why it isn't working?
[04:06] <ldnn> hi
[04:06] <Nautilus> i've installed vsftp and am wondering if I can disable FTP access (SFTP only)?
[04:06] <ldnn> Does anyone know where to put startup scripts in Ubuntu?
[04:07] <Flannel> Nautilus: Yes, uninstall vsftp.  Instead, install openssh-server, which will give you SFTP automagically (unless you want to do it with virtual users, then it won't be automagic)
[04:07] <nezzarioX> Nautilus, ubuntu doesn't come with any ftp by default.. if you mean vsftp, uninstall it or remove it from startup
[04:07] <wilee-nilee> ldnn, does it need admin?
[04:07] <nezzarioX> ldnn, /etc/rc.local is good for simple things
[04:08] <ldnn> nezzarioX, much appreciated
[04:08] <nezzarioX> ok sound is not working
[04:08] <nezzarioX> do I need to start/stop soming after instlaling alsa-tools alsa-utils and lsb ?
[04:08] <ldnn> not really. I just need to load System Load Indicator on startup
[04:08] <nezzarioX> ok, not the right place for window management stuff
[04:09] <nezzarioX> check your WM's startup script,
[04:09] <nezzarioX> is xinitrc still used?
[04:09] <nezzarioX> i'm a little out of date
[04:10] <Nautilus> so, no vsftp eh? ...
[04:10] <ldnn> window manager startup script?
[04:11] <Flannel> Nautilus: You could, but it's a pain if you just want sftp for semi-personal use (commercial/strangers/etc is a different story, slightly)
[04:11] <wilee-nilee> ldnn, startup applications which needs a command to fill with whats already there.
[04:11] <Nautilus> personal use yes
[04:12] <wilee-nilee> ldnn, which is sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[04:12] <nezzarioX> i'm lost
[04:12] <Nautilus> here's something I don't understand ... OpenSSH wants me to make a key. How did I setup vsftp and am using Filezille via "SFTP using SSH2" without making a key?
[04:13] <Flannel> Nautilus: Yeah, just remove vsftp and install openssh-server, and then log in.
[04:13] <somsip> Nautilus: if you are using Filezilla and want to copy files securely, just use scp
[04:13] <Flannel> somsip: Filezilla will do sftp just fine.
[04:14] <Nautilus> how does it work when I haven't made a key on the VPS?
[04:14] <somsip> Flannel: indeed, but if he's having problems setting up SFTP maybe easier to work around the problem, is what I was thinking
[04:14] <Nautilus> SFTP is working fine, so does FTP
[04:14] <Nautilus> I just dont want to allow FTP
[04:14] <somsip> Nautilus: fair enough
[04:15] <Nautilus> mostly, so *I* myself don't forget to use SFTP ;)
[04:15] <Flannel> Nautilus: These aren't login/authentication keys, these are "I am server X" keys.
[04:15] <ldnn> For example: to load the System Load Indicator on startup
[04:15] <ldnn> is sed necessary for that case?
[04:15] <Flannel> Nautilus: So, the various pieces must've just created them, or used default ones, or whatever.  I'm not familiar with vsftp, so I can't speak to it exactly.
[04:16] <yuchi> Hello, I installed Lubuntu but cannot get into any GUI. After I startup, the screen continues to flash. I am able to get out using Ctrl+Alt+F1, where I am now. Thanks for any help.
[04:16] <Nautilus> Flannel: I noticed the same thing with shell... at my brothers we just logged in with: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:16] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset|yuchi,
[04:16] <Nautilus> Flannel: again, no key. So maybe a default one.   (snakeoil?)
[04:17] <yuchi> cfhowlett: Thank you.
[04:17] <wilee-nilee> yuchi, Boot in with the nomodeset option and check the graphic drivers.
[04:17] <Nautilus> Flannel: Ah, "I am server X" keys ... hm, trying to grok the distinction
[04:17] <OlderThanDirt> So.... XFCE beats out Unity in terms of speed of loading, feel, etc..... but I'm still unable to raise my resolution past 1024 * 768
[04:18] <ldnn> thanks for the help
[04:18] <ldnn> night
[04:18] <Nautilus> OlderThanDirt: sounds like a hardware limit
[04:18] <yuchi> wilee-nilee: I will try that, thank you.
[04:18] <OlderThanDirt> Nautilus: I'm thinking so, all things considered
[04:18] <Nautilus> 1024x768 being a common max on old gfx hardware
[04:18] <OlderThanDirt> it IS ancient tech, compared to the machine I have sitting next to it
[04:19] <{-r-}> There is a red triangle with a ! in it, and when I try to update my computer it come up with Failed to download repository information, Check your Internet connection.
[04:19] <Nautilus> I bet there are no 16:9 res's
[04:19] <OlderThanDirt> Not a one, no
[04:19] <Nautilus> sounds like 1024x768 hardware to me then
[04:19] <OlderThanDirt> It's an old Optiplex GX280
[04:19] <racho> OlderThanDirt, you could see if it actually can support more with xrandr although i suppose not. you may event try to force a new mode through xrandr but prepare for unforeseen consequences
[04:20]  * Nautilus put a cheapie gfx card in his old dell to go with the 16:9 LCD
[04:20] <OlderThanDirt> !xrandr
[04:21] <OlderThanDirt> racho: not really looking for dual screens, just decent output to my display. I have my old Ubuntu dog here and my primary Windows/Hackintosh/Mint unit tied together on a KVM switch
[04:22] <Flannel> Nautilus: Yeah, could be snakeoil.  Check the configuration files.
[04:22] <OlderThanDirt> Still, it looks a whole lot more useable with XFCE than it did with Unity2D
[04:22] <fobelx> hi. i need help locating a package. i need cntlm deb package for ubuntu 6.10 (edgy eft). i have been unable to locate it.
[04:22] <cfhowlett> OlderThanDirt, you hackintoshed that optiplex!?
[04:22] <racho> OlderThanDirt, you can use xrandr for more than dual screen imaging.
[04:23] <OlderThanDirt> cfhowlett: No, dude
[04:23] <Flannel> fobelx: Why 6.10, might I ask?
[04:24] <fobelx> Flannel: its hard to answer that.
[04:24] <fobelx> Flannel: it is a long story.
[04:24] <Flannel> fobelx: I'm sure there's a good answer, and you're aware that 6.10 isn't supported anymore, so no security fixes (for a number of years) and all that, right?
[04:25] <fobelx> Flannel: sure. i understand.
[04:25] <Flannel> fobelx: OK, so.  With that out of the way.  Is that package not in the repositories?
[04:25] <OlderThanDirt> I Hackintoshed the main unit I have; it's a Franken-puter with a 3.5GHz quad core processor and 16GB of RAM, with a BS little Sapphire card in it
[04:26] <fobelx> i found a few version at this location http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/cntlm/
[04:26] <fobelx> Flannel: i am unsure how to look at only edgy eft ones...
[04:26] <OlderThanDirt> Had to find someone willing to help me port the kernel from an AMD-modded VMWare image of 10.8.5
[04:26] <Flannel> fobelx: Right, so you should migrate all of your archives to old-releases.ubuntu.com (instead of archive.ubuntu.com)
[04:27] <cfhowlett> OlderThanDirt, impressive.  most impressive.
[04:27] <Flannel> fobelx: That is, your package archives (sources.list and all that jazz).  That'll give you access to the edgy repositories, and we'll go from there.
[04:27] <OlderThanDirt> cfhowlett: It's all a matter of asking the right questions of the right people
[04:27] <OlderThanDirt> That and being willing to break things
[04:28] <OlderThanDirt> I've been breaking computers and OS's since the late 70's, and I've never looked back
[04:28] <OlderThanDirt> But I have learned a lot along the way, you know?
[04:28] <fobelx> Flannel: i should tell you i am sitting behind and internet proxy and cannot use debian package manager to download source...
[04:28] <fobelx> Flannel: so i was looking for a way to get it via the web.
[04:28] <Flannel> fobelx: What about regular packages?  Also, why does a proxy preclude you from that?  (That's really annoying)
[04:29] <OlderThanDirt> ^
[04:29] <Flannel> fobelx: But, that's fine, you can still browse the package archives manually there, just like from anywhere else.
[04:30] <Flannel> fobelx: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ would be where you'd start, and then you can do the apt-get thing manually, looking at the gz for the package names (the version for edgy, if it exists) and then go there and snag it, etc.
[04:30] <fobelx> Flannel: thanks. i'll give that a try.
[04:30] <pirret> i don't understan, why you cannot use that proxy for package manager
[04:32] <DaemeonZane> How does one go about getting their IP obscured on here, anyway?
[04:33] <reisio> DaemeonZane: ask #freenode
[04:34] <DaemeonZane> reisio: I answered my question about 2 seconds after I asked...
[04:34] <DaemeonZane> I figure there's an Ubuntu channel, why not a Freenode chan?
[04:35] <reisio> :)
[04:36] <Nautilus> also see the server login: Please join #freenode for any network-related questions     :)
[04:38] <LuisGeree> hi i have a problem, i use ubuntu 13.10. In all webs on firefox that i have the option "login with facebook" it didn't works. How can i fix them? i try with openjdk and java from oracle but it don't fix that. (sorry for my english)
[04:39] <theleft> sounds like an internet or browser issue LuisGeree, not os-related
[04:40] <LuisGeree> i have the same problem with chrominium
[04:40] <wilee-nilee> LuisGeree, Firefox removed the auto login saves a little while back.
[04:41] <theleft> and the only problem you have is that you cannot log into facebook?
[04:42] <LuisGeree> no, i can log on facebook. But in other webs (for example www.jango.com, it's for music) i can't use the bottom "login with facebook" it didn't works
[04:42] <cfhowlett> LuisGeree, open a web browser.  login to facebook.  fiixed
[04:42] <theleft> lol
[04:43] <theleft> i still really doubt that error has anything to do with your operating system LuisGeree
[04:43] <LuisGeree> i'm login on facebook, but i didn't use the option "login with facebook" in any other link
[04:43] <theleft> maybe ask your browser devs or facebook for support
[04:44] <esr> I need helo using the alternattives system; Google searches aren't giving me good hits.  I have both xfce-notifyd and notify-osd entalled; the former is enabled, I want to switch to the latter.
[04:44] <cfhowlett> LuisGeree, you do know that you have to authorize other apps within facebook, right?
[04:45] <LuisGeree> i try the same web on a pc with windows and it works
[04:45] <LuisGeree> yes
[04:45] <theleft> that is probably why cfhowlett. i don't know much about facebook since this isn't #facebook
[04:45] <esr> s/entalled/installed/  Excuse my typos.
[04:45] <LuisGeree> of course, i use this option in other pc with windows, only on ubuntu i can't use that
[04:45] <Danato> GUIDE
[04:46] <cfhowlett> Danato, eh?  what?
[04:47] <Danato> cfhowlett idk i jst used ctrl+shift+v (i think) on weechat
[04:48] <Danato> or maybe it was something close to that
[04:48] <kostkon> Danato: shortcut for... paste?
[04:48] <theleft> if i have my / and swap set to the proper UUIDs in fstab, should i worry that the drive was kicked off sda? can i just keep my 2nd drive on sda and not worry about it?
[04:48] <LuisGeree> i don't know if you can't understandme at all, i going to say it on spanish. No puedo usar la opción "login with facebook(iniciar sesión con facebook)" en ninguna página web que lo tenga. Uso firefox y chrominium y en ellos no funciona.
[04:48] <LuisGeree> desde una pc con windows si funciona esa opción. Alguien sabe como puedo resolverlo?
[04:48] <Danato> kostkon: yeah that was the idea, but i probably missed some key, or misstyped something
[04:48] <LuisGeree> thanks =D
[04:49] <theleft> i think we understand you but unfortunately there is not much we can do to support facebook/browser issues. just because it works on windows doesn't mean it is a linux issue
[04:49] <theleft> LuisGeree,
[04:49] <theleft> "login with facebook" has nothing to do with you os. i'm sure of it
[04:50] <theleft> maybe if you were having internet connectivity issues in general we could talk
[04:50] <LuisGeree> oh, and everyone who want to use this option can do it?
[04:50] <cfhowlett> !es
[04:50] <cfhowlett> LuisGeree, we understand.  it's a facebook problem.  we don't care.
[04:51] <theleft> ^
[04:51] <LuisGeree> nobody it's talkink on ubuntu-es
[04:51] <esr> Hello?  Can I get help with an *Ubuntu* problem? :-)
[04:51] <LuisGeree> oh thanks, that's what i want to know, if the problem is for everyone o i can fix that
[04:51] <LuisGeree> thaks
[04:52] <Paulus68_1> !ask|esr
[04:53] <esr> I need help using the alternattives system; Google searches aren't giving me good hits.  I have both xfce-notifyd and notify-osd installed; the former is enabled, I want to switch to the latter.
[04:54] <esr> Is there a man page I should read, and if so what?
[04:54] <kostkon> esr: open a terminal, type update- and then press tab
[04:55] <esr> I see many alternatives
[04:55] <esr> Ah, is it update-alternatives
[04:55] <esr> ?
[04:55] <kostkon> esr: updtae-x-alternatives
[04:56] <cfhowlett> -
[04:56] <kostkon> esr: e.g update-java-alternatives
[04:56] <fobelx> Flannel: thanks so much. i got cntlm installed on ubuntu 6.10. :)
[04:56] <Flannel> fobelx: Good to hear.
[04:58] <esr> No such command as update-notification-daemon-alternatives
[04:59] <reisio> thank god
[05:00] <esr> Both notify-osd and xfce-notifyd provide 'notification-daemon'; that's about the only clue I have here.
[05:01] <sashah> can I make abiword tell me WHY the grammar checker doesn't like something I wrote?
[05:02] <joossee> sashah, paste it
[05:04] <wilee-nilee> sashah, There are some good grammer checkers on line. here is one, the best I think. http://www.grammarly.com/
[05:05] <wilee-nilee> they all have limitations a editor can do though
[05:05] <cfhowlett> sashah, not a functionality that is included.
[05:08] <Guest7280> 在吗？

[05:09] <cfhowlett> !c
[05:09] <cfhowlett> !cn

[05:10] <sashah> cfhowlett: thank you very much
[05:14] <oaulakh> helo
[05:14] <cfhowlett> oaulakh, greetings
[05:15] <oaulakh> i'm facing swap problem again
[05:15] <Guest87436> 你妈逼  草  这杂用啊
[05:15] <cfhowlett> !swap
[05:16] <wilee-nilee> !cn | Guest87436
[05:16] <oaulakh> means when i first install ubnutu i did not give swap space to system
[05:16] <oaulakh> but now i have the space
[05:17] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Did you add the swap to fstab?
[05:17] <oaulakh> helo wilee-nilee
[05:17] <oaulakh> you know first it was solved
[05:18] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Last time you were here sda2 was a swap, did you add it to fstab?
[05:18] <oaulakh> but every time when i start system, it need swap space
[05:18] <oaulakh> no
[05:18] <oaulakh> last time i sought that problem with gparted
[05:19] <oaulakh> but when ever sytem reboot i have to configure it again
[05:19] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, I showed you mine and explained the uuid and you were sent at least 2 bot messages on fstab.
[05:19] <oaulakh> i get my uuid
[05:20] <oaulakh> but how i add it to fstab
[05:20] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, run sudo blkid and pastebin it I will give you the command to open fstab and the notation for it.
[05:20] <oaulakh> okk
[05:23] <oaulakh> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6414290/
[05:24] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, To open fstab run     gksudo gedit /etc/fstab     and put this there       UUID=595ae3d8-ad9a-473e-8181-0147ea5fadfd none            swap    sw              0       0
[05:25] <oaulakh> gksudo not installed
[05:25] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, the error says install gksu right?
[05:25] <oaulakh> yeah
[05:25] <oaulakh> can i run it with sudo
[05:25] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, sudo apt-get install gksu   then run what I showed.
[05:27] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, IN general gksudo is for gui's but a good default anyway.
[05:28] <oaulakh> done
[05:28] <oaulakh> now should i restart?
[05:28] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, You can, but now fstab will mount on staring the OS.
[05:29] <oaulakh> thanks again buddy
[05:29] <wilee-nilee> no prob
[05:29] <oaulakh> going to restart
[05:29] <oaulakh> pc
[05:29] <wilee-nilee> peace
[05:36] <oaulakh> thanks wilee-nilee  now  its showing me swap space
[05:36] <oaulakh> on default boot
[05:36] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, Excellent, so you know now if lets say you wanted another partition or HD to be auto mounted you add it to fstab.
[05:37] <oaulakh> yeah now i know
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, If you open fstab you will see your main ubuntu partition already there.
[05:37] <oaulakh> yeah i see it
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> cool, enjoy. ;)
[05:37] <oaulakh> that was like ext4
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> yep
[05:38] <wilee-nilee> oaulakh, You can also instead of having the UUID just have the partition like this /dev/sda2 for the swap.
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> the UUID only is replaced by that the rest is the same for the sap.
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> swap
[05:41] <oaulakh> okk
[05:41] <oaulakh> i got it
[05:42] <oaulakh> you means if we hav'nt uuid we still can add swap to fstab
[05:42] <oaulakh> with device location like /dev/sda2, right?
[05:44] <somsip> oaulakh: using UUID means that if you move drives around for any reason, they still mount correctly. Using /dev/sdXX is less flexible
[05:44] <oaulakh> okkk
[05:44] <oaulakh> then i think uuid is better than location
[05:49] <oaulakh> gud nyt

[06:23] <noobster> hi all!
[06:23] <noobster> I have been having allot of issues with the Ubuntu 12.04 NFS client having very slow write speeds and freezing up the server for mins at a time. Has anyone heard anything like this, or know some troubleshooting tips?

[06:24] <noobster> any insight would be greatly appreciated.

[06:33] <joobz> guys, how do i access the terminal / bash / cli from the ubuntu live cd?
[06:33] <joobz> i'm sitting at the gui desktop, cant find how to do it
[06:33] <makara> my default shell was sh, and I would enter bash manually. I changed bash as the default shell, but now it won't load colour. What 2 do?
[06:33] <joobz> i tried running /bin/bash but that didnt work..
[06:33] <makara> joobz, ctrl+alt+T
[06:34] <joobz> thanks
[06:34] <joobz> how sad is that.. cant find a shell on a linux OS :/
[06:35] <makara> that's a gnome virtual terminal, or you can get an actual TTY with ctrl+alt+F1, F2, F3
[06:35] <makara> lightdm (GUI) is loaded in no 7
[06:35] <makara> very sad
[06:35] <Ari-Yang> joobz: dash board search 'terminal' done
[06:36] <Ari-Yang> or ctrl alt T like what makara said
[06:36] <joobz> should be an icon on the desktop or taskbar for it
[06:37] <moppy> joobz, unity has a dash now. click in the top left then type in 'terminal' and it will find it
[06:37] <moppy> joobz, once yo have loaded it for the first time, then you can lock it to the launcher bar if you like the old legacy interface
[06:38] <joobz> cool
[06:38] <joobz> thanks
[06:38] <moppy> Basicalyl how unity works is they want to pretend the smart search function of the dash is the star trek computer and that you can type or speak into the bar and it'll work out what you want, and do it
[06:39] <moppy> (And it actualyl do it in enabled applications like GIMP)
[06:39] <joobz> sounds like spotlight in mac
[06:41] <moppy> can spotlight drive an app yet?
[06:41] <moppy> so i wanted to cut and paste, would it do it?
[06:43] <moppy> coz like, unity does it ... don't think it's like spotlight
[06:48] <joobz> moppy, when you say drive an app, do you mean run an app?
[06:50] <moppy> joobz, If a program builds in support for it, you can operate the program's menu bar via the dash. For example in gimp you type in "convert" and it will open the image file format conversion menu etc
[06:51] <joobz> no you can't with spotlight
[06:53] <joobz> moppy, how can i install synaptic on the 13.0 livecd?
[06:54] <joobz> i tried apt-get install synaptic and it didnt work.. i want hfsprogs, but it's not coming down from apt
[06:54] <moppy> the package manager?
[06:54] <IJNX> any idea how to run my own daemon with init.d scripts with different username?
[06:54] <IJNX> ie. restricted user
[06:54] <moppy> whe you say "didnt work" what error did you get? i assume you tried it with sudo?
[06:54] <joobz> ya
[06:54] <IJNX> I keep hitting EACCES for log and pid file.
[06:54] <joobz> it just didnt find the package
[06:55] <joobz> i was going to try see if all my repos are checked.. also did an apt-get update and it didnt find it after that either
[06:55] <moppy> in ubuntu it is : "sudo apt-get install synaptic"
[06:55] <joobz> didnt work
[06:55] <joobz> cant find it
[06:55] <moppy> Not sure if you have all the repos enabled then
[06:56] <moppy> the settings icon for the software updater has a thing to enable repos
[06:56] <moppy> synaptic is in ubuntu software centre as well
[06:58] <joobz> that's weird
[06:58] <joobz> apt-get update does its thing, completes successfully
[06:59] <joobz> then software updater says there's 137MB of updates to go
[06:59] <joobz> moppy, my end goal is to install hfsprogs package - what is the easiest way to do this?
[06:59] <joobz> i am reading that i need to run synaptics to enable all my repos, which should let me install hfsprogs
[07:00] <moppy> update doesnt install software, it just updates the database
[07:00] <joobz> which database?
[07:00] <moppy> you need apt-get upgrade afterwards to actually pull down the upgrades
[07:00] <tozen> joobz: change updates server to Main in update-manager Settings then try to update one again and see what will happen with installation
[07:01] <tozen> *once again
[07:01] <joobz> ok
[07:01] <joobz> it is currently updating that 137MB of data
[07:01] <moppy> joobz, I dont understand why you don't use the gui software updater if you are not familiar with the terminal
[07:01] <joobz> .. but it was set to Main before i got in here
[07:01] <tozen> joobz: ok
[07:01] <joobz> moppy, i prefer terminal.. just i use ports and rpm more so than apt
[07:04] <Danato> how do turn a screen off using xrandr?
[07:05] <joobz> that's funny
[07:06] <joobz> after completing the software upgrade of 137MB via the gui, it said i need to restart
[07:06] <Danato> nvm, got it
[07:06] <joobz> .. im using a live cd :)
[07:06] <moppy> joobz, yum list updates is "apt-get update" and "yum upgrade" is "apt-get upgrade"
[07:06] <Danato> hehehehe
[07:06] <moppy> joobz, the livecd has a persistant filesystem on it, it can update itself
[07:06] <joobz> but when i reboot
[07:06] <joobz> it goes right?
[07:06] <moppy> *yum update sorry
[07:06] <moppy> no it doesnt go
[07:07] <moppy> you;re updating the livecd
[07:07] <joobz> where is it storing that 137MB ?
[07:07] <joobz> the livecd is readonly?
[07:07] <moppy> on the usb of course
[07:07] <joobz> it's a DVD
[07:07] <moppy> oh sorry ... didnt realise you had opticals
[07:07] <moppy> my mistake, i dont use them anymore. sorry.
[07:08] <joobz> all good :)
[07:08] <joobz> apt-get update seems to be doing more this time
[07:08] <moppy> i dont have any optical drives left. none of my laptops have them.
[07:09] <joobz> ya.. we have an external drive for this
[07:09] <joobz> as often laptops are without these days
[07:09] <joobz> kinda like our USB floppy disk drive, for windows drivers on installation
[07:10] <moppy> i think apart from game consoles i havent touched an optical disk in several years
[07:13] <guidov> hey, the update manager just popped up and i agreed to install the updates, now it hangs at a certain step, what to do?
[07:14] <Danato> i only use the optical drive to install OSs
[07:14] <alissd> poweroff the machine :)
[07:14] <guidov> it's at running post-installation trigger update-notifier-common
[07:15] <guidov> oh it's done now
[07:15] <guidov> that took like 5 minutes though
[07:15] <guidov> at the flash plugin
[07:15] <alissd> type  'apt-get update' & "apt-get upgrade" in the terminal, rather than using the update manager.
[07:16] <alissd> the update manager sometimes get jamed, especially in 12.04
[07:20] <TsukasaUjiie> so, weird problem at the moment, configuring an instance of 13.04 (cloud-image builds) with vagrant, but for the life of me I cant get postgres to start at boot, I called update-rc.d postgresql defaults and enable, but I have to manually service postgresql start at each boot. any ideas?
[07:20] <TsukasaUjiie> same problem for rabbitmq (neither start)
[07:24] <TsukasaUjiie> actually neither is nginx...
[07:27] <mat619> Hi everyone! Anyone happen to know if you can use display color profiles created made in OSX with Ubuntu on a Mac?
[07:30] <kishan> hi
[07:31] <mat619> Besides, what Ubuntu-based distro would you recommend for use on a PowerPC system? IIRC unity was reported to be quite a PITA on PPC
[07:32] <mat619> Most people seem to recommend Lubuntu, but I don't terribly like LXDE very much :(
[07:33] <kishan> is there any operating system simulation tools for linux?
[07:34] <mat619> kishan: What do you mean with "simulation tools"?
[07:34] <mat619> kishan: Or rather, what exactly do you want to do?
[07:35] <smoke> how do i check the status of an ssh trasnfer on the ssh server side?
[07:35] <kishan> \we can simulate algorithm of scheduling ,virtual memory
[07:44] <faryshta> hi. i installed tor browser using this commands http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-tor-browser-bundle-on-ubuntu-and-linux-mint/
[07:44] <faryshta> but tor-browser doesn't run
[07:45] <auronandace> faryshta: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:45] <Kartagis> I am using ubuntu 13.10, and whenever I get a notification from skype, my sound card goes 'buzzzzz'. any ideas?
[07:46] <cfhowlett> Kartagis, go into skype, turn off sound notification
[07:46] <Kartagis> cfhowlett: I did that, but is there a way to fix that?
[07:48] <faryshta> auronandace, 12.10. but i found the problem. its not on the internet menu but on the others menu
[07:49] <cfhowlett> Kartagis, could be  a system sound setting, but I'm on xubuntu so different setup than you
[08:01] <sgo11> hi, I used "fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic" to build the kernel. Now, I need to change one .c file in drivers/hid/. how just want to make this change. is that possible to build it again without recompiling from the start? thanks a lot.
[08:03] <Sam_____> is it question time?? I'm running ubuntu 12.03 server with Samba, my Window user complain that when user A creates a file user B can not modify the file and resave it. I have set the permissions to 0777 on the file and still have the same problem? can anobody help ?
[08:03] <cfhowlett> !server|!sam____
[08:04] <sgo11> any ubuntu expert here? recompiling from start will take 2 hours. please let me know if I can just build the change. thanks a lot.
[08:08] <cleansweep> Hi, I'm trying to figure out the permissions setup on my apache2 install. I've setup a VM with 12LTS and installed apache2. It installed the /var/www directory as root|root. What's the recommend way for me to setup /www so that I can edit without switching to root?
[08:09] <cleansweep> Any thoughts?
[08:10] <cjmactheknife> cleansweep: normally apache2 runs as user/group www-data:www-data, so I'd say set the owner and group to that for a start
[08:11] <cjmactheknife> cleansweep: if you then put your user in the www-data group and ensure the files are group +rw, you will be able to edit them
[08:12] <gvo> sgo11 just make your change and "make"
[08:12] <cleansweep> hi cjmactheknife, I read one webpage where they recommended you do that but doesn't it open up security issues?
[08:12] <gvo> sgo11: as long as you don't reconfigure, you can change source files and run make again.
[08:13] <sgo11> gvo, after make, what else should I do? since I followed this link "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel" and build the kernel with the command "fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic". thanks.
[08:13] <cleansweep> so your apache server can modify pages in the /www directory
[08:14] <gvo> sgo11: I'm not sure what that script does.
[08:14] <sgo11> gvo, maybe I should simply run "fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic" this again.
[08:14] <gvo> Try it.
[08:14] <cjmactheknife> cleansweep: well, another option is to make sure the group is www-data and you're the owner, and just don't give group write permission, just read (and execute on directories, so it can traverse them)
[08:15] <cleansweep> It's not really an issue because I'm the only one who will see this server and the code will be pushed to a remote server with a different setup
[08:15] <sgo11> gvo, thanks. I am trying it now...
[08:15] <sgo11> gvo, how can I make sure that change gets compiled?
[08:15] <cleansweep> but I would like to understand what's gong on
[08:16] <gvo> Search for the *.o file that has the same name as the *.c file you changed.  If the timestamp is newer than the *.c file, it worked.
[08:17] <sgo11> gvo, thanks. I was thinking about that too. where does those .o files store?
[08:17] <gvo> often in the same directory as the .c
[08:18] <sgo11> gvo, by running the command again, I got this error now: "/home/user1/kernel/3.5.0/linux-3.5.0 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'"
[08:19] <gvo> sgo11 what directory are you in?
[08:19] <sgo11> gvo, in the directory I was compiling the kernel successfully last time.
[08:20] <gvo> sgo11 not helpful, what directory specifically
[08:20] <cleansweep> cjmactheknife okay, I've changed the owner but left the group as root.Tested it, seems to have worked. Thanks for your help
[08:20] <sgo11> gvo, /home/user1/kernel/3.5.0/linux-3.5.0
[08:21] <gvo> sgo11: Good. just run fakeroot make mrproper
[08:21] <sgo11> gvo, may I ask what will that do? thanks a lot.
[08:21] <gvo> sgo11 I don't know exactly but since that's what has to be done, do it.
[08:22] <ogzy> hwo can i open logo report view file format?
[08:22] <gvo> sgo11 Oops, that is the same as a clen.
[08:23] <gvo> clean
[08:23] <gvo> might not want to run it.
[08:23] <sgo11> gvo, i haven't run it yet.
[08:23] <gvo> sgo11 OK try running a fakeroot make
[08:24] <sgo11> gvo, error : "Configuration file ".config" not found!"...
[08:24] <gvo> sgo11 Apparently the script wants to start over.
[08:25] <gvo> hm.
[08:26] <sgo11> gvo, maybe I just compile it again from start. clean first....
[08:26] <gvo> It's been a long time since I recomple a kernel.
[08:26] <teisei> Hello everybody!
[08:27] <gvo> sgo11 yes, do the make mrproper first to clean and then try the build again.
[08:27] <gvo> After the mrproper make sure your change is still there.

[08:32] <ola2> how to copy ppa repository
[08:32] <labeebahmad32> i typed    sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
[08:32] <labeebahmad32> and result came isdpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
[08:32] <ola2> how to copy ppa repository
[08:33] <gvo> labeebahmad32: So it sounds like something else is running.
[08:33] <labeebahmad32> ok
[08:33] <gvo> labeebahmad32: Do you have another package manager running?  Like Synaptic?
[08:33] <labeebahmad32> i dont know
[08:33] <teisei> labeebahmad32: sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[08:34] <labeebahmad32> shud i try this?
[08:34] <teisei> It removes the dpkg lock
[08:34] <gvo> labeebahmad32: teisei OK as long as nothing is running.
[08:34] <teisei> Yes indeed I forgot to mention that
[08:34] <teisei> Make sure synaptic or update-manager is not running
[08:35] <labeebahmad32> update manager is running
[08:35] <gvo> labeebahmad32: stop it
[08:35] <teisei> You may want to let it finish or kill it
[08:36] <wilee-nilee> labeebahmad32, You can't run two different installs at thew same time, let the update manager finish.
[08:39] <wilee-nilee> ola2, What do you mean "copy ppa repository"?
[08:45] <gvo> labeebahmad32: or let it finish.
[08:45] <labeebahmad32> its about to finish
[08:45] <sl1ck> my grub screen is sluggish, how do I make it less 'graphicy' and more robust?
[08:45] <gvo> labeebahmad32: when it finishes you can rerun the dpkg

[08:47] <elementary> Hello everybody. How do I system-wide force the output of grep to be colorful?
[08:48] <gvo> alias grep='grep --color=auto' put that in a system profile
[08:49] <gvo> like /etc/profile
[08:51] <elementary> gvo: Ok, understood. Thanks gvo :)
[08:56] <faryshta> which is the best way to connect to tor? i am trying vidalia but so far all fails
[08:57] <DJones> !tor | faryshta Not something I use, but hopefully the bot's info will help,
[08:59] <faryshta> DJones, i am at this step  https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#using but the tor browser doen't seem to run
[09:01] <DJones> faryshta: I'm afraid its not something I've ever used, so beyond knowing about the bots factoid, I'm afraid I can't help with it
[09:06] <geirha> elementary, gvo: No, aliases aren't very useful in /etc/profile. Instead, put   export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto'  in there
[09:07] <gvo> geirha: Didn't know that.  Thanks
[09:08] <elementary> geirha: Thank you.
[09:10] <geirha> elementary: Note that the change will take effect next time you log in
[09:11] <elementary> geirha: sure :)
[09:15] <Adari> i fubared!
[09:15] <Adari> Have a Win7 boot... and a Ubuntu partition
[09:16] <Adari> deleted my ubuntu partition to try out linux mint
[09:16] <fishsponge> hello! Is anyone using chrome v 31.0.1650.48 and having issues with the Facebook web site???!?
[09:16] <Adari> now it's not booting either.
[09:18] <fishsponge> basically, whenever I hover over anything on Facebook, including flash games, nothing shows up. If I click on something, I have then clicked on it... every other web site works fine, and facebook works fine in other browsers too... just Facebook is acting weird in Chrome v31 on Linux...
[09:18] <fishsponge> for example, if I hover over a hyperlink, the cursor does not change and the hyperlink does not get underlined... but if I click on it it works!
[09:22] <Adari> fish: what extensions do you have installed?
[09:22] <kali_eskrima> hi where and how do you create a file with a command lines? and than that it will be recognized and run in the terminal? where in ubuntu you do?
[09:24] <fritz_> hie people i installed ubuntu 13.10 on a partition that had linux mint, but when i try installing a program using terminal i get the following message, /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSources/mintSources can anyone help
[09:24] <jenenliu> hi guys, how can I edit my grub configuration after install ubuntu
[09:24] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO hi, HOWS GOING? where and how do you create a file with a command lines? and than that it will be recognized and run in the terminal? where in ubuntu you do?
[09:24] <fritz_> sh: 1: /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSources/mintSources.py: not found
[09:25] <gvo> jenenliu: vi /etc/default/grub
[09:25] <jenenliu> gvo: thanks
[09:25] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: hey. I'm not 100% following exactly what you're asking. do you want to know about writing scripts?
[09:25] <adac> how can I identify processes that use the hard disk extensively?
[09:26] <gvo> adac you could try iotop
[09:27] <vlt> adac: +1
[09:27] <wilee-nilee> fritz_, Can you show us what this makes. lsb_release -a
[09:27] <scomed> ciao
[09:27] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO ok i m talking about this.....  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6414980/
[09:27] <vlt> scomed: Ciao
[09:29] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO also when you told me the other day about how to set my network mng for me to be always able to connect. well i did something and it seems its working now. but i dont know how to crate files that will work as an executable files. as you mentioned couple of days ago. i saved the conversation so i can try make it work.
[09:30] <adac> gvo, hmm iotop doesn't seem to show a process that is behaving out of normal it seems. I really have no clue what my pc makes so slow sometimes. It is not the memory, it is not the swap, it is not the processor, so it has to be disk load
[09:30] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: now I'm more confused. That's a udev rule.
[09:31] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: if you want to create a file and execute that file _. sounds like a script to me. I can explain that real simple.
[09:31] <gvo> adac if iotop isn't showing actvity, I think your assumption has to be wrong.
[09:32] <adac> gvo, it shows activity but not permanet activity. I'm not sure can even non permanent activity bring the speed of the machine down?
[09:33] <ogzy> what is the default username and password at the horizan interface after mirantis installation?
[09:33] <gvo> adac I doubt it.  You might run sar and see if you can spot anything.
[09:33] <ogzy> ok it seems admin, admin
[09:34] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO haha sorry. i was trying to create a file that will always recognize my samsung phone when connected. i have a bunch of stuff that i need transfer. and then i remembered yhe other day u suggested to create a file for my netwrok manager.... so i just added that in.
[09:34] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO this is the website full from that pastebin http://askubuntu.com/questions/34297/galaxy-s-not-detected-how-do-i-make-it-work
[09:35] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO what is file _.  ??
[09:35] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: ahh i see. I get you now. In what way do you want the phone to be recognized?
[09:36] <faryshta> which is the best way to connect to tor? i am trying vidalia but so far all fails
[09:36] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: is it for data transfer?
[09:37] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO i want to see my folders and to see the data, transfer pictures and music... etc... yes
[09:38] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: ok. the first answer here should be right: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34297/galaxy-s-not-detected-how-do-i-make-it-work   This will switch the phone to usb transfer mode. Is this not working for you?
[09:38] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: you should ignore the second answer thats for a different issue altogether
[09:39] <TsukasaUjiie> Hey, Im on ubuntu 13.04 (cloud images) and my rc-sysinint.conf upstart job isnt running at all. what would cause that?
[09:39] <kali_eskrima> no i didnt tried because i dont have with me the usb cable
[09:40] <kali_eskrima> hitsujiTMO no i didnt tried because i dont have the usb cable with me now
[09:41] <gvo> kali_eskrima: install airdroid?
[09:42] <hitsujiTMO> kali_eskrima: its just that you need to change the phone setting to be visible as a usb mass storage device. Later versions of android require you to install software to recognize mtp devices. But for the samsung galaxy S it just needs that to be recognized as usb storage.
[09:43] <you-tee-f> hi
[09:43] <adac> gvo when trying to start sar I do get: Cannot open /var/log/sysstat/sa14: No such file or directory Please check if data collecting is enabled in /etc/default/sysstat but the ENABLED in the config is set to true
[09:44] <you-tee-f> i'm using an irc online, does someone know where i can find a no-install irc for ubuntu ?
[09:44] <cfhowlett> you-tee-f, you mean a web based alternative?
[09:44] <gvo> adac dpkg-reconfigure sysstat
[09:45] <gvo> adac and start /etc/init.d/sysstat start (or restart)
[09:46] <gvo> you-tee-f: chatzilla comes to mind
[09:47] <ianmac1> you-tee-f, have you tried:  https://webchat.freenode.net/
[09:48] <adac> gvo, did the trick! thanks!
[09:48] <DJones> you-tee-f: How do you mean no-install? Ubuntu comes with app's like xchat/empathy pre-installed, as far as I know, outside of using them or installing another app like irssi etc, you would have to use a webchat in a browser
[09:49] <cfhowlett> you-tee-f, there are firefox add-ons and, I'm sure, chromium as well
[09:50] <DJones> ianmac1: Just looking at you-tee-f's timeout message, they are using webchat, so I guess thats not what they want
[09:50] <babinlonston> While Mounting a NFS share how can i Mount it Specifying as read and Write in fstab entry
[09:50] <DJones> cfhowlett: They timed out, you'll have to resend that when they rejoin
[09:50] <cfhowlett> DJones, noted.
[09:51] <hitsujiTMO> babinlonston: give it the rw option  ... it should do this by default tho
[09:51] <faryshta> hitsujiTMO, hi. do you know about tor?
[09:51] <hitsujiTMO> faryshta: no i don't use it at all i'm afraid
[09:51] <faryshta> HiddenDjinn, damn. thanks
[09:52] <babinlonston> hitsujiTMO: its not Mount with rw , my fstab entry is here pls have a note <IP_ADDRESS>:/nfsshare /home/sysadmin/nfsshare nfs     rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0   0
[09:52] <ianmac1> DJones, Ah, ok
[09:52] <the_drow> Hi, I have a USB 3 to ethernet converter that doesn't work for me on 13.10 but works for another developer that is using the same OS and device.
[09:53] <hitsujiTMO> babinlonston: then i would assume that its configured on the server to be read only or you simply do not have write access to the folder that is bing mounted
[09:53] <makara> hi. I'm running 12.04 LTS Server. I read long time ago multiple users are a security risk. I've got 27. Any information about this?
[09:53] <the_drow> It's manufactured by STLabs
[09:53] <cfhowlett> !server|makara,
[09:54] <babinlonston> hitsujiTMO: this is my server config  ----->        /nfsshare       <IP_ADDRESS>(rw,subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash)
[09:54] <wilee-nilee> the_drow, See if running lsusb gives more details on it.
[09:54] <gordonjcp> makara: in the sense that the more users you have, the more passwords there are to guess
[09:54] <adac> gvo, sar -d should output the disk activity right?
[09:54] <hitsujiTMO> babinlonston: and what are the permissions on /nfsshare ?
[09:54] <the_drow> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6415066/
[09:54] <the_drow> Appearntly it's ASIX inside
