[09:16] <Ben64> yeah you'll probably have to do it in single user mode or a livecd
[09:17] <suigeneris> what exactly do I do with livecd?
[09:17] <Ben64> edit the file back to how it was
[09:17] <suigeneris> okay
[09:18] <dr_willis> mount your  systems  / partion/   and edit the files
[09:18] <dr_willis> or chroot in and use the passwd command to set a proper password perhaps?
[09:18] <Ben64> i think the password isn't the problem... its the username
[09:21] <suigeneris> brb
[09:22] <alvesjnr> hiall. I changed my default shell using chsh, but it only works on terminal (ctr+alt+f2, e.g.) How to change the default shell on Gnome terminal (the terminal emulator on gnome desktop) ?
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: is there not a setting in gnome-terminal ?
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26439/how-do-i-set-fish-as-the-default-shell
[09:24] <alvesjnr> ActionParsnip: I fond an option "Run command instead of shell", but I was wondering if it is the proper way
[09:25] <alvesjnr> s/fond/found
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: found using http://tinyurl.com/qaruq45
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: or change the shell by editting /etc/passwd you will need to log off and on to apply it
[09:26] <dr_willis> gnome-terminal can use profiles to rin whatever shell you want
[09:26] <Ben64> why doesn't anyone want to use usermod
[09:27] <dr_willis> thats one way to make it use a specific shell
[09:27] <Ben64> editing /etc/passwd is not good
[09:27] <dr_willis> Ben64:  its not leet enough
[09:27] <alvesjnr> tks
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: how come I was able to find that....?
[09:30] <Phoenixxl> So , anyone ?

[09:33] <xro> dr_willis: i checked but there is no answer! i hope facebook will work in empathy soon
[09:35] <dr_willis> could just try the latest empathy ppa
[09:35] <dr_willis> or it could be a tempary bug with facebook
[09:35] <xro> dr_willis: it looks like it a problem with the facebook authorisation!
[09:38] <woozly> guys, where to put my script, which must run when system booted and all services started?
[09:38] <woozly> (I want to store there some iptables config)

[09:39] <woozly> dr_willis: thank you!
[09:39] <dr_willis> but  i think theres a specific iptables config file somewhere else
[09:39] <dr_willis> !firewall

[09:47] <Aktiffisus>  i dont understand you music
[09:47] <Cazazo> music: I do use skype but the latest version doesn't work fro myself
[09:47] <daftykins> music: if you want to call internationally to a real phone, you'll need to add some 'credit'
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> music: you can use the partner repo or grab the deb from the skype site
[09:47] <music> thank you I am currently using ubuntu 12.04 and love it!!
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> music: if your OS is 64bit, yo uwill haul in quite a bit of 32bit packages for deps but apt-get and dpkg will manage this
[09:49] <Aktiffisus> you can go to updates for ubuntu and in update manager select all resources and principal server
[09:49] <Aktiffisus> or can download fro skype  and select ubuntu multitarch
[09:49] <music> I had used skype with an old usb phone some time ago and liked it but the phone started to have some issues so I opted out - am now wanting to start it up again
[09:50] <Aktiffisus> download just doble click and all go fine

[10:30] <andrew__> newb here
[10:31] <andrew__> anyone backed up all their apps, sms etc from galaxy to ubuntu?
[10:33] <k1l_> andrew__: talking about ubuntu touch?
[10:34] <andrew__> no S@ to my ubuntu notebook
[10:34] <andrew__> s2 that is
[10:35] <andrew__> ive got a new s4 and want to put all my data to notebook and then reinstall them to s4
[10:35] <Cazazo> check this up... http://www.downloadatoz.com/howto/how-to-backup-restore-rom-on-rooted-galaxy-s-iii,101404.html
[10:35] <k1l_> andrew__: easy one. just use nandroid backup, but that is more of a android support issue
[10:36] <k1l_> andrew__: or any other backup app like titanium backup. but that all is not ubuntu related
[10:36] <andrew__> thanks <kil_> and Cazazo
[10:36] <Cazazo> np mate
[10:36] <dinar2> how can i run ubuntu 12 04 installer from debian ?
[10:36] <andrew__> i'll check them out
[10:37] <Cazazo> kk hope it helps you
[10:37] <dinar2> i have installed debian from windows 2000  , but i cannot install ubuntu from debian
[10:37] <svingegneria> hello
[10:38] <andrew__> unfortunately no Cazazo
[10:38] <andrew__> mine isnt rooted
[10:38] <Cazazo> oh kk
[10:39] <aquarat> Does anyone know if there's a PPA or repo that will allow me to install linux-images that aren't available in the standard repos?
[10:39] <aquarat> like an older version
[10:39] <aquarat> especially after a release upgrade
[10:41] <andrew__> all the googling was either rooted or cloud
[10:42] <Cazazo> andrew__: yeah I was googling it.....
[10:42] <andrew__> lol
[10:43] <andrew__> yeah i thought id do that first before coming here
[10:43] <icedwater> Hi, what do I do if my live USB starts showing "Bus error" from time to time? e.g. after running Firefox for a certain length of time it dies, and some things just don't work...
[10:44] <Cazazo> if you root yours do you void your phones guaranty??
[10:44] <bekks> yes
[10:44] <icedwater> Also on a recent disk scan /casper/initrd.lz showed "mismatch", so I'm suspecting the USB is a little crazy now.
[10:45] <andrew__> and i'm changing sim types
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> icedwater: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[10:45] <k1l_> !ot | andrew__ Cazazo
[10:45] <icedwater> ActionParsnip: I can't remember, but I only ran into this problem a few days ago.
[10:45] <icedwater> I think I did. I really have to look it up again.
[10:46] <andrew__> this ubuntu related
[10:46] <andrew__> this is....
[10:46] <Cazazo> that's a bot here....
[10:46] <k1l_> andrew__: rooting your phone and backing up is not ubuntu related.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> icedwater: is it an install to USB, or is it the ISO transferred with a large persistance storage
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> andrew__: changing sim types in a phone is not ubuntu related
[10:47] <andrew__> im not rooting
[10:47] <icedwater> ActionParsnip: the latter, with about 10GB of persistence.
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> icedwater: I see, have you tested your RAM health?
[10:47] <k1l_> andrew__: just ask in the offtopic or in a android specialized channel. thats it
[10:47] <andrew__> nurries
[10:47] <icedwater> Oh, it could be RAM? Why?
[10:48] <icedwater> Now that you mention it it's only been on this machine... which isn't the newest.
[10:49] <icedwater> So you're saying, ActionParsnip, that it could be because the part of RAM into which the OS is loaded is slightly damaged?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> icedwater: the OS is running in RAM, if it is bad then it will cause issues
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> icedwater: also, shove the stick in another system and fsck it (unmount of course)
[10:49] <icedwater> Because the "mismatch" result came on another machine too.
[10:49] <icedwater> Yeah, I will do that, meant to check yesterday but didn't get round to it.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> icedwater: also make another Ubuntu user adn see if it happens there too
[10:50] <ween101> Good morning and good day Is it possible to slipstream a driver into an ubuntu iso? if so could someone point me into the direction of who to go about it ?
[10:51] <icedwater> All right, logging off to test something :)
[10:51] <icedwater> Thanks ActionParsnip
[10:54] <ween101> Is there a procedure in asking a question and getting support?
[10:55] <k1l_> ween101: give as much information as you can. and wait if someone knows the answer or wants some more information
[10:57] <ween101> I have a Sager 9860 that needs to have Promise Fast Trak 378 driver installed with the OS and I was curious how to go about slipstreaming the driver in an ubuntu iso
[11:01] <Lokendra> hi ajay
[11:02] <ween101> I have a Sager 9860 that needs to have Promise Fast Trak 378 driver installed with the OS and I was curious how to go about slipstreaming the driver in an ubuntu iso

[11:08] <chunkyhead> hey guys i switched to kde and then i lost my default loginscreen, how to get it back? i still have unity on my computer
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> chunkyhead  it's gdm --replace, something
[11:09] <chunkyhead> umm where can i get the full command
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> i'm searching
[11:10] <chunkyhead> MonkeyDust, and isn't it lightdm for unity not gdm
[11:10] <MonkeyDust> chunkyhead  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-switch-between-gdm-and-kdm-on-ubuntu/
[11:11] <MonkeyDust> chunkyhead  no, unity is a shell for gnome3
[11:11] <chunkyhead> i dont have gdm on my computer
[11:11] <ezra-s> sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[11:11] <chunkyhead> as far as i know i have lightdm and kdm
[11:12] <ezra-s> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[11:12] <chunkyhead> ezra-s, although i had tried that, but let me just re try it
[11:12] <chunkyhead> and then just a logoff loggon would work right? no need to restat? ezra-s
[11:14] <EvilDMP> Hi, I am running Ubuntu 10.10, and my /etc/sources.list looks like: http://dpaste.org/mD7OO/
[11:15] <EvilDMP> now whenever I try to run apt-get update I get a lot of errors and Ign, and when I try to install things I get a lot of "this package is unverified" - what is my problem here?
[11:16] <makara> Hi. Alternative graphics program that can do 'trace' function like in Adobe Illustrator?
[11:16] <bourbon102rus> q
[11:16] <MonkeyDust> EvilDMP  10.10 is no longer valid, available or supported
[11:16] <bourbon102rus> hi
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> !eolupgrades | EvilDMP
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: same deal if you try and get Windows updates for Windows 98. They are both no longer supported in any way
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: I suggest a clean install of Precise which is LTS and supported til April 2017
[11:19] <EvilDMP> so in effect, there is *no way around this* other than to upgrade the entire system?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: the install you have will work, there are just zero updates or packages for it and zero community support anywhere
[11:20] <EvilDMP> well, it's working, it's our web server, but building a new one is not something I'm looking forward to doing
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: just build a new box and restore the configs from backup then fail it over
[11:21] <EvilDMP> ActionParsnip: OK, thanks
[11:22] <EvilDMP> I'm almost tempted to do-release-upgrade as it suggests...
[11:22] <EvilDMP> (not really)
[11:22] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: if it was on Lucid (the previous release) you would still have 2 years support
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: I recommend you keep to LTS releases for production servers
[11:23] <EvilDMP> ActionParsnip: I shall do in future
[11:23] <EvilDMP> what is the advantage of Ubuntu over Debian for a server like this? I don't use a desktop interface for it at all
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: http://geekyschmidt.com/2011/03/11/debian-server-vs-ubuntu-server
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: for a web box, i wouldn't expect to see much between the two (imho)
[11:28] <EvilDMP> thanks for your advice ActionParsnip
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> EvilDMP: any time
[11:30] <chunkyhead> didnt work ezra-s MonkeyDust
[11:31] <ezra-s> chunkyhead, but your login screen works right? is it lightdm or kdm?
[11:32] <chunkyhead> yeah but i want lightdm can i not get that ezra-s
[11:33] <ezra-s> chunkyhead, you just want to use lightdm right? have you removed kdm? "sudo apt-purge kdm"?
[11:33] <ezra-s> sorry, error, it is apt-get purge kdm
[11:39] <colhester> hi guys. i want to ask something. i need to recover my server's sudo password via ssh. i read that i can do so on the recovery mode but is this possible via ssh? any other ways to recover?
[11:40] <bekks> colhester: The sudo password is the password of the user running sudo.
[11:41] <SwedeMike> colhester: you can boot the server and as root, change the password. Allowing this to be changed remotely without a valid user login is like the movies having an "override security" button.
[11:41] <makara> Hi. I want to change my login name. I have some instructions to do it, but the first one doesn't work. "killall -u old_name". How can I open a terminal without being old_name to even issue the first command?
[11:41] <[OS]Cazazo> any one here uses a wacom desk tablet under Ubuntu?
[11:41] <bekks> SwedeMike: the root account is disabled by default.
[11:41] <colhester> thanks
[11:42] <SwedeMike> bekks: I am aware of that, but if you boot and do stuff frmo within the initrd, you'll be root anyway.
[11:42] <colhester> when i try to change the password it asks for the sudo password...
[11:42] <bekks> colhester: rebooting for chaning a users password is - overkill :)
[11:43] <SwedeMike> colhester: just type in the password of the user you're currently logged in as.
[11:44] <nam3> .
[11:46] <xomjak> hi

[11:50] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:53] <applecider> anyone knowledgeable about hosted servers?
[11:54] <Ben64> !anyone | applecider
[11:55] <applecider> Anyone know much about hosted servers?
[11:55] <sawjig> Does anybody get tired of being told what to do but a bot?
[11:55] <sawjig> s/but/by
[11:55] <Ben64> sawjig: this is a volume business, it saves time
[11:55] <Ben64> applecider: read what the bot just said
[11:56] <sawjig> Does anyone read what the bot says?
[11:56] <Ben64> yes
[11:56] <applecider> do i use the command like "!anyone questiontoask"? im new to irc
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> sawjig  we don't the bot to feel ignored
[11:56] <Ben64> applecider: no, you need to ask a question though
[11:56] <SwedeMike> applecider: no, you're supposed to ask the question you want answer to.
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> sawjig  we don't want the bot to feel ignored
[11:57] <applecider> !anyone
[11:57] <sawjig> lol
[11:57] <pybe> applecider: ask your question about hosted servers
[11:57] <applecider> ok, im wondering if AWS is suitable to host a commercial vpn
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> sawjig  the bot helps us to prevent getting tired of giving the same answers and information over and over again; plus: the bot's information is more complete
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> and it's faster
[11:59] <applecider> anyone know?
[12:00] <sawjig> MonkeyDust, yeah faster than all this conversation we're having about it :3
[12:00] <Ben64> applecider: thats not really an ubuntu issue... but probably. lots of companies use amazon
[12:00] <sawjig> applecider, kind of a vague question, there are probably much cheaper options though.
[12:01] <sawjig> especially if you're just looking to route your traffic through it..
[12:01] <jamw> when I reboot my ubuntu 12.10, it gives an error about low graphic card then ask me to select one of these options http://oi39.tinypic.com/5kf6ds.jpg however, it is not possible to select any of them although I press all buttons on the keyboard. It reacts to only "esc" bu then it returns a black screen where I can type stuff but it does not continue to any other screen. However, currently I am using windows and the graphic card works fine
[12:01] <jamw> it is possible to boot ubuntu on recovery mode, and possible to drop on root shell. could anyone tell me how I can fix graphic card error?
[12:02] <jamw> what command do I need for configuring the graphic card?
[12:02] <jony_easyrider> again... this is my fifth memory stick broken, what's happening?
[12:02] <Ben64> jamw: have you ever gotten into ubuntu?
[12:02] <ezra-s> jamw, the specified driver is not loading well, are you using external binary from nvidia/amd?
[12:02] <jamw> yeah I have been using that ubuntu for 2 years
[12:02] <Ben64> jony_easyrider: stop breaking them
[12:03] <applecider>  I plan on running ubuntu on the server, so its related. Im worried about data records basically. I dont want amazon logging anything that the server does. Are there better alternatives?
[12:03] <jamw> I am not using any external device, the graphic card on the laptop is ati radeon
[12:03] <Ben64> applecider: get a dedicated server then
[12:03] <jony_easyrider> it's very strange... other say that they have very old sticks and they are functioning
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> jony_easyrider  don't use their sticks, you could break those, too
[12:04] <applecider> admittedly im new to the hardware aspects, so which provider would you recommend? also what specs would i need to support 2000, 10000 and 20000 users respectively
[12:05] <Ben64> applecider: you'd be better off finding a more appropriate channel. #ubuntu is for solving ubuntu problems
[12:05] <Ben64> !alis | applecider
[12:05] <mchlbhm> Hey, anyone know how to get my cam to work with chatroulette?
[12:06] <jony_easyrider> MonkeyDust, I already tried Kingmax, Kingston, A-Data and Corsair
[12:06] <jamw> does anyone suggest me what command to execute on the root shell to fix the graphic card's setting?
[12:06] <Ben64> jamw: what did you do between it working fine and now?
[12:07] <applecider> thanks for the help anyway
[12:08] <mchlbhm> It's annoying because it works fine in cheese, but the second I try to use it on the web (chromium and firefox) it's suddenly not detected.
[12:08] <jamw> Ben64: I was using google chrome and watching youtube video, then suddenly google chrome collapsed but ubuntu was working fine. I tried to open google chrome many times but it did not open. Then I reboot ubuntu then I started to get the graphic card problem
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> jamw  try replacing google chrome with chromium-browser
[12:10] <jamw> Ben64: the graphic card should be working fine since I am using the same laptop now. Something should change video card's setting, but I don't know how to configure it via the terminal
[12:10] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> just did a shrink on winblows partition and grew Ubuntu! ,everything work, microsift winblows <- lol and Ubuntu.., But how can i do a proper check of my ext4 /dev/sda3 and a surface scan so if there is any bad spots on the harddrive to mark them and not use them?
[12:12] <jamw> MonkeyDust: I will do it when it is able to boot normally again. But it does not boot correctly because of the graphic card's settings. would you have any suggestion what to execute on the shell prompt to reconfigure the graphic card?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> jamw  in the grub menu, select recovery mode, then Repair
[12:13] <jamw> MonkeyDust: I did it, but it did not help, I also did start with Failsafe Graph or something like that, it also did not help
[12:13] <jamw> the only thing I can do is to drop into the root shell

[12:23] <aguitel> how upgrade firefox in lucid?
[12:24] <MonkeyDust> aguitel lucid for desktop is no longer upgraded
[12:25] <ezra-s> you can try downloading firefox from the web and do a "local" install
[12:25] <aguitel> MonkeyDust, in this old laptop only lucid works
[12:25] <ezra-s> aguitel, ^^
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> aguitel  works, but is no longer upgraded
[12:26] <SonikkuAmerica> aguitel: Have you tried Xubuntu or Lubuntu? They might have a better chance of working...
[12:26] <aguitel> only lucid with gnome 2.x run
[12:27] <aguitel> no other sh...it
[12:27] <inahd> hey all,
[12:27] <SonikkuAmerica> aguitel: That doesn't answer my quesitonl.
[12:27] <SonikkuAmerica> *question
[12:27] <ezra-s> aguitel, I repeat, have you tried going to firefox.com , download the tar you can get there and use that?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> aguitel: tried Precise with XFCE?
[12:27] <aguitel> ezra-s, no
[12:28] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, only kernel 2.6.32 series run in this laptop smoly
[12:29] <aguitel> ActionParsnip, this laptop was made in 2003

[12:30] <foo357> Hello I've got a computer running ubuntu where the network interface (eth0) hasn't been brought up (ever) when I try to bring it up by simply: "sudo ifup eth0" I get an error message: "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0"
[12:30]  * ezra-s chuckles
[12:30] <Cerepel> hello. Is there any way to put all users in the same group, or combine two groups ?
[12:30] <ezra-s> foo357, you sure you have a driver that supports that?
[12:31] <ezra-s> Cerepel, adduser USER GROUP
[12:32] <foo357> ezra-s I guess it's the mothercard's onboard hardware, how could drivers be an issue?
[12:33] <ezra-s> foo357, if you don't have a driver that recognizes your ethernet card you won't ever have eth0
[12:33] <inahd> seems like it might be a pulseaudio issue...
[12:34] <ezra-s> foo357, it could be a motherboard issue too of course
[12:34] <foo357> ezra-s: it should be intel hardware and very standard, so how do I fix any possible driver shortcomings?
[12:34] <mezzobob_> ubottu: have an upvote
[12:35] <ezra-s> foo357, do a lspci | grep -i ethernet
[12:40] <foo357> ezra-s: the last line output by 'lspci' says: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57788 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
[12:42] <gumble_> hey, can anyone tell me how to add a folder outside the home folder to ubuntu one to be synced?
[12:44] <foo357> ezra-s: I have a parallel installation of Windows 7 on the machine, and when  I go to the network control panel where the network h/w should show up I see nothing, kinda strange I think since Windows should throw in necessary drivers (and this pc was also vendor-bought)
[12:44] <SonikkuAmerica> foo357: (Windows support on FreeNode is in ##windows)
[12:45] <foo357> SonikkuAmerica: ok I will try there to, thanks.
[12:45] <ezra-s> foo357, I recall, it was possible for motherboard to completely disable the card if it didn't find a cable connected to it at boot, don't know if that's the case or If I'm recalling badly, but you may check that easily

[13:08] <MonkeyDust> anton_eh  rkunter is in the repos, simply do: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade -- if you want something newer, you'd need a PPA, but that's not supported here
[13:09] <anton_eh> ok thanks

[13:36] <KuuuuuuH> I want you to help about network.
[13:37] <umar_>  Will the security updates of Ubuntu Precise and Raring ring tail be added to Ubuntu Saucy ?
[13:38] <ezra-s> umar_, they will already be included unless they find their way back in, yes
[13:38] <umar_> "they will already be included unless they find their way back in" Please explain the sentence in quotations,thank you.
[13:41] <ezra-s> umar_, developing is incremental, you develop , you patch over, with newer versions and newer features some developers may accidentaly make more of the old mistakes... but that doesnt have to happen

[13:51] <KuuuuuuH> Hey i have a 2 active network , 1 is a lan for connect to my work ntwork for remote to server only, 2 is a my phone modem for access internet . I want to set ubuntu for this! I change defaule gate way to my phone modem but if i do it ' i can't to rem
[13:51] <KuuuuuuH> Remote to rdp on my work network '  .  How to set it
[13:51] <KuuuuuuH> ?
[13:53] <KuuuuuuH> Please help me.
[13:53] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, use FQDN names and include both DNS nameservers from those networks to your /etc/resolv.conf
[13:53] <ezra-s> KuuuuuuH, since you are capable of changing default gw you could as well add a specific route for your rdp
[13:54] <KuuuuuuH> Oh!
[13:55] <KuuuuuuH> DNS on my work network : like , abc.com
[13:55] <KuuuuuuH> Or ip
[13:56] <AtuM> IP
[13:57] <KuuuuuuH> Ip for phone modem that ip is set to <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[13:57] <KuuuuuuH> That it ip for internet.
[13:57] <Phryq> hey
[13:57] <Phryq> I'm trying to learn a new language with this site, http://www.memrise.com/course/359/beginners-russian/2/garden/grow/
[13:58] <Phryq> and sometimes when I click the little speaker button to play a recording of the word, so I know how it sounds, it works. Most times it doesn't or it plays after 1 or 2 minutes
[13:58] <Phryq> I've tried it in Firefox, Chrome, Midori, and Epiphany browsers.
[13:58] <titlesarehard> Is port 80 block (or anything for that matter) by default for ubuntu
[13:58] <KuuuuuuH> Ezra-s : special route for rdp i don't know how to set it .
[13:58] <Phryq> Anyone able to help me?
[13:59] <titlesarehard> *blocked
[13:59] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, try connecting to RDP using IP... if you need a gw for it to work then you should add a route.
[13:59] <drc0p> Phryq: yes
[13:59] <Phryq> thanks so much
[14:00] <Walex2> Phryq: it could be simply some delay in downloading.
[14:00] <Phryq> hmmm, so if it's as you say Walex , there's nothing I can do about it, right?
[14:00] <foo357> I have a Win7 computer that I want to be part of a domain. I've got a linux machine running samba which would enable people to log in onto any clients using one account. When I enter in the client that it's in domain "foobar" I get a promt about entering credentials for a user who can log onto the domain. What kind of account would that be?
[14:01] <pigman> new guy here  hi!
[14:01] <drc0p> foo357: take the.
[14:02] <AtuM> foo357, you mix domain with file share service.. get those facts right first
[14:02] <pigman> my  ubuntu 13.04 desktop unity
[14:02] <KuuuuuuH> AtuM: set route in network connection for my lan , and how to set only rdp .please sample it . Sorry i 'm new for network.
[14:02] <pigman> just  can not work
[14:03] <pigman> rdp？
[14:04] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, a sample: route add -host <IP_ADDRESS> gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:05] <KuuuuuuH> Ok. It look like ... <IP_ADDRESS>/port ?
[14:05] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, that is not usable for sure.. but it's a sample
[14:05] <KuuuuuuH> Hmm.
[14:05] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, routes have nothing to do with ports
[14:06] <KuuuuuuH> Oh! I so newbie.
[14:06] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, you're asking wrong questions.. you should first get to know how network works and what routes are...
[14:07] <titlesarehard> Just installed apache2 what could be some reasons that it is not listening on port 80?
[14:08] <Phryq> Is there a way for me to test whether it's a simple download delay?
[14:08] <KuuuuuuH> Ok. My network on work is .myip <IP_ADDRESS> sub: 255 Gw: <IP_ADDRESS> / on my phone to access internet is <IP_ADDRESS> not set gatway.
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> titlesarehard: service not running?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> titlesarehard: firewall
[14:10] <KuuuuuuH> Default gate way is to my work gw.
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> titlesarehard: different port being used
[14:10] <titlesarehard> I ran the command to start service. How do i check to make sure it is running?
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> titlesarehard: sudo service apache2 status      or whatever the service is called (use TAB to autocomplete it)
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> titlesarehard: you could also nmap the server to see what ports are listening
[14:14] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, if you want internet to work, you should have the default gateway set to the modem, not work network.. then for the subnet you need to reach on your work network, you should define a route that points to the work network.. i suppose your remote rdp server has an ip that's not in the subnet of your work-lan connection. it it's on the same subnet then no extra route is needed
[14:14] <kurac> hi can somone help me wht grml-rescuboot  it seys to put iso in /boot/grml but it only hes  1gb speace and i want to put 3gb iso  can i put some shorcut or magic link
[14:16] <AtuM> KuuuuuuH, you might want to learn the basics.. http://www.policyrouting.org/PolicyRoutingBook/ONLINE/CH01.web.html (some examples, no need to read the whole book)
[14:16] <KuuuuuuH> AtuM: thank you.
[14:16] <titlesarehard> So the service is indeed not starting running even after i start it. Would this mean something is misconfigued?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> titlesarehard: check the log file for the service
[14:17] <kurac> hi can somone help me wht grml-rescuboot  it seys to put iso in /boot/grml but it only hes  1gb speace and i want to put 3gb iso  can i put some shorcut or magic link
[14:17] <AtuM> kurac, what are you trying to do anyways?
[14:18] <lANCE> hello
[14:18] <Guest37106> how do I do an ipconfig /registerdns  or the equivalent in ubuntu 12.04 lts
[14:19] <th0r> Guest37106: and that does what exactly?
[14:20] <Guest37106> I need to update srv records for a client pc..
[14:20] <AtuM> kurac, http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=rescueboot  - I don't think this is an ubuntu issue
[14:20] <kurac> AtuM:  i want to load bactrack in the grub when i try to manual manyentry i am doing somting wrog and it dosent work iso i wanted to do it auto whit grml-rescuboot  but in boot ther is only 1gb  speace and bactrack is 3gb.iso socan somone give me a working mayentry for bactrack  or help me to link  or can i resize boot?
[14:21] <AtuM> link won't do because boot loaders don't see it's targets
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> kurac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[14:21] <Guest37106> any ideas?
[14:22] <kurac> ActionParsnip:  i know the i read it and i created monyetry thet works for ubuntu,kubuntu,kali,benini, but bactrack wont work
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> kurac: I'd ask in #backtrack-linux then
[14:23] <Guest37106> ipconfig /registerdns
[14:23] <kurac> fu
[14:24] <Guest37106> whats the ubuntu equivalent?
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest37106: could restart the networking service
[14:27] <Guest37106> Thanks
[14:27] <BrixSat> Hello, i have a folder with big files that are regulary changed and i want to make a rsync, but rsync send all the file not just the small change. Any process to make that happen?
[14:29] <mbeierl> Guest37106, "pconfig /registerdns command refreshes all DHCP address leases and registers all related DNS names configured and used by the client computer."  That would simply be restarting the network as mentioned, or doing an ifdown / ifup of the interface
[14:29] <compdoc> BrixSat, you have the same files stored on another drive? Rsync should only copy the changed files
[14:30] <BrixSat> compdoc:  the rsync changes the modified files, but assume you have 2 gb files and transfer them via network is slow even if only 1 byte changed.
[14:30] <compdoc> oh, you expect rsync to copy a changed byte. thats not going to happen
[14:31] <TitlesAreHard> would 128mb memory be enough to run a small ubuntu lamp setup (its a vps that i got super cheap)?
[14:31] <timholum> I am having an interesting issue, I have a flash drive, I am running an rsync to it, it runs perfict for a few hundred files the filesystem becomes read only. I have to unmount it and remount it in order to get it writable again. any idea's?
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> BrixSat  rsync is the fastest way you'll find
[14:32] <MonkeyDust> BrixSat  rsync -a to only copy modified files   (-a means archive)
Thanks
[14:32] <BrixSat> MonkeyDust:  im doing rsync -avz file destination:~/ any other parameter im thinking?
[14:32] <Lajjla> Say I mount a second drive to /home/username/, this will go alright without complaining?
[14:32] <MonkeyDust> BrixSat  try --progress (that's double -)
[14:32] <Lajjla> Like, it'snot even a partition, my computer has two drives, I want to run the OS on an SSD but keep home a spinning wheel thing
[14:33] <BrixSat> MonkeyDust:  that will  show the progress, and this is running in crontab so not interesting :p
[14:33] <bodom> Hi there. Any idea why my just upgraded ubuntu wants to be upgraded?
[14:33] <Lajjla> Well, scratch that, mount the drive to /home/ and have a folde /username/ in it
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> BrixSat  then the v isnt interesting either :)
[14:33] <BrixSat> right :)
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> what fun and joy, discussing technical issues :)
[14:34] <BrixSat> well i still have to find another alternative to rsync
[14:34] <decci> Anyone who have installed syscfg (dell dtk iso) onto ubuntu. I could see RPMs packages in the ISO.
[14:34] <BrixSat> rsync is not working well :p
[14:37] <mbeierl> Lajjla, yes, you can use different devices at any mount point.  But if /home/username already exists on the SSD, you will need to move its contents over to the HDD in order for it to be seen once mounted
[14:37] <Lajjla> mbeierl, hmm, if you mount to a mount point, it merges contents basically?
[14:37] <Lajjla> Like, the file system displays the actual and the mounted content in one folder?
[14:37] <KuuuuuuH> AtuM:
[14:38] <titlesarehard> Would 128mb of memory be enough to run a small ubuntu lamp setup (its a vps i got for cheap)?
[14:38] <BrixSat> titlesarehard:  for testing or personal use yes, otherwise  NO!
[14:40] <WeThePeople> tunapie2 not working, just freezes up
[14:40] <WeThePeople> i have to force-quit
[14:40] <`brendan> anyone running an hp blade 420c gen8 with ubuntu 12.04? having issues with the networking
[14:40] <mbeierl> Lajjla, no.  The mount replaces the content
[14:41] <mbeierl> Lajjla, for example, if I have /home/user/file1 on the SDD, then I mount a partition of the HDD as /home/user, I will only see the contents of the HDD under /home/user.  /home/user/file1 will become unreachable
[14:42] <Lajjla> mbeierl, okido, thanks.
[14:42] <Chrono_> anyone able to assist a newling?
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> Chrono_  start with a question
[14:44] <Chrono_> Hmm, well, this may not be the proper channel to ask this question but can someone explain the difference in linux "Flavors"?
[14:45] <nldimitris> does anybody knows what happends after an update to my old files in my hard drive ??
[14:45] <SonikkuAmerica> Chrono_: Gladly! The short answer is: Different desktop environments, same Ubuntu!
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> Chrono_  different look and feel, like wearing a different jacket -- lubuntu is lighter than ubuntu
[14:45] <mbeierl> chrob, http://www.linuceum.com/Distros/osLinuxDistros.php
[14:46] <mbeierl> sorry, ^ Chrono_
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> Chrono_  http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg
[14:47] <DJones> Chrono_: Thats probably a better question to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, but effectivly, a distribution is Ubuntu/Debian/Slackware/Red Hat/Centos etc, a flavour is for example Ubuntu but split into Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu etc with different desktop environments
[14:47] <mbeierl> Chrono_, similar to how there are different phones you can get - different options on each, but all are cell phones
[14:47] <SonikkuAmerica> Chrono_: We currently have, as well as Unity, flavors that use GNOME, KDE, XFCE, and LXDE. Special versions also exist: (a) Ubuntu !Studio for digital audio workstations, graphic and video design, (b) !Mythbuntu for MythTV PVRs, (c) Edubuntu for educational settings, and (d) Kylin (for China)
[14:47] <SonikkuAmerica> (c) should read !Edubuntu
[14:48] <mbeierl> And... I just realized I was answering the question "what's a distro", not "what's a flavour"....
[14:48] <Chrono_> SonikkuAmerica: would there be a stability issue if I want all flavors installed?   (well, can all falvors be installed under one kernel?)
[14:49] <Chrono_> DJones: thank you sir, I will be sure to move my questions over there :-)
[14:49] <SonikkuAmerica> Chrono_: Yes! (Each DE is its own metapackage as well)
[14:49] <SonikkuAmerica> Chrono_: Let's take it into -offtopic
[14:50] <mbeierl> Clarification, Chrono: Yes, you can, No there won't be stability issues
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> Chrono_  you can, but the login menu would become very long
[14:50] <Chrono_> SonikkuAmerica: ok :-)
[14:53] <WeThePeople> does anybody have tunapie2 working in 12.04.2 x64
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> !info tunapie
[14:56] <WeThePeople> what the other ubuntu package for media besides restricted xtras?
[14:56] <WeThePeople> monkeydust, is there a alternative to tunapie for icecast streams
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> WeThePeople  there used to be medibuntu, don't know if it still exists
[14:57] <WeThePeople> monkeydust, thats the one thanks

[15:14] <MonkeyDust> AndChat|445556  sure there's no system management in ubuntu itself?
[15:14] <mbeierl> AndChat|445556, if that's an MS Windows toolkit published by Dell, that answer is most likely you cannot.

[15:15] <gry> Are the repositories down? I get http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main - connection failed.
[15:16] <xro> hillary, install htop than browse and kill all filezilla
[15:16] <AndChat|445556> I am able to use dtk on rpm based redhat but not sure if it is tried in ubuntu
[15:16] <mbeierl> hillary, just "killall filezilla", then if nothing "killall -9 filezilla"
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> hillary  try killall filezilla*
[15:17] <xro> bug 1180297 --> am I the only one that disagree with  "sending password in clear text" ?
[15:17] <DouglasK> I've got an older box (running ubuntu 10.04 LTS, server), after running for a couple hours, the network slows right down on it.  Other machines on the network are fine, load averages on the affected box are under .2.  Any idea where I should start looking for the issue?
[15:17] <milan> What about Myunity i think it doesnt support raring??
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> hillary: xkill   and you can click the app to kill it
[15:17] <linelevel> (bump + more info) Hi. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in an LVM on a LUKS-encrypted partition. Now when I boot, I get an LVM error (it can't find /dev/mapper/vgcrypt-root, the logical volume that mounts at /) and I get dumped into an initramfs shell. I can manually run  `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 pvcrypt` and exit the shell and it works, but I can't figure out how to get it to prompt me  for the LUKS passphrase automatically. Can anyo
[15:17] <linelevel> ^ Did my post  above cut off?
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> milan  13.04 has unity-tweak-tool
[15:17] <mbeierl> hillary, "ps aux | grep filezilla" ... does the process state it is in "D" state?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> hillary: or:   killall filezilla
[15:18] <mbeierl> linelevel, probably no one knows the answer right now, sorry....
[15:18] <milan> Do you mean ubuntu tweak??
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> linelevel  if you're not getting an answer, it means nobody knows
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> milan  13.04 has unity-tweak-tool
[15:19] <milan> ok
[15:19] <linelevel> mbeierl: MonkeyDust: No worries, I realize that, and did not mean to spam. I just wanted to update my question with my lastest info.
[15:19] <prashant_123456> i have speakers attached to rear jack and headphones attached to front jack and when i play song both are playing at the same time and i need to configure it one at a time i.e i want to play audio either from front jack or from rear jack. dont want to play audio at the same time.
[15:19] <linelevel> I will post on Ubuntu Forums, and maybe try back here later in the day.
[15:20] <milan> thanx MonkeyDust i have checked out Gnome look cool themes again thanx a lot
[15:20] <mbeierl> linelevel, I see that now.  And it does seem to be an odd case of it not automatically starting the cryptsetup, but that's way out of my league
[15:21] <mbeierl> prashant_123456, are you sure the sound card is capable of controlling them independantly?
[15:24] <prashant_123456> mbeierl, yes i do it in windows environment.
[15:25] <bodom> anyone?
[15:27] <hillary> Thanks this "ps aux | grep filezilla" helped
[15:32] <gry> (resent) Are the repositories down? I get http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main - connection failed.
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> gry  locally, maybe
[15:33] <DJones> gry: Looks like that is down, I'm not getting any response from it
[15:33] <dualBoot> hello , I am trying to install dual boot  Ubuntu 13.10 next to win 8 pre install . Is it possible , could some one give me advises. thanks in advance .regards
[15:33] <Guest54404> Hi, i have a small problem on different computers, and i can't find a solution for it with search engines, my problem is that i can't login when the screen of lightdm is locked, but i could use the login screen when i choose "switch user" and login on the start screen, where i could choose a user to login and so on .. i am not sure where there could be a problem causing this ..
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> dualBoot  you mean 13.04, i take it
[15:35] <gry> DJones: ok, I did %s/au/uk/g on sources.list and it probably works
[15:35] <dualBoot> MonkeyDust i confirm 13.10
[15:35] <gry> yup
[15:37] <betrayd> Guest54404: so on lightdm (when you startup normally) you STILL have to 'switch user' before you can get in?
[15:37] <iShotz> Can someone help me?
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> dualBoot  then ask in #ubuntu+1
[15:38] <iShotz> huh
[15:38] <Guest54404> betrayd: no, only when the screen is locked
[15:38] <alocer> how can i solve mkvmerge sound delay problem :((
[15:38] <dualBoot> thanks MonkeyDust
[15:39] <iShotz> Yesterday I deleted the partition for Xubuntu, (I was dual booting with Windows 8) and when i turn my PC on, it says grub rescue> and won't let me do anythng
[15:39] <iShotz> apart from type
[15:40] <VisCOUS> Woah.  Did you google it?
[15:40] <Guest54404> betrayd: i could login when startup normally
[15:40] <SonikkuAmerica> iShotz: Do you only want Windows or do you want to put something else there?
[15:41] <iShotz> Only Windows
[15:41] <alocer> iShotz: when booting from live media select "boot from first hard disk" it should bring up linux .
[15:41] <iShotz> Yeah
[15:41] <iShotz> I'm in my Xubuntu live CD now
[15:41] <alocer> from windows boot disc select repait
[15:42] <alocer> repair
[15:42] <SonikkuAmerica> iShotz: OK... so reboot with your Windows 8 disc, select Repair, get to a command prompt, type in "bootrec /fixmbr" and then "bootrec /fixboot" and then reboot.
[15:42] <iShotz> I don't have a Windows 8 Disk
[15:42] <iShotz> Is there no way I can Just re-install grub?
[15:42] <alocer> wow
[15:42] <betrayd> Guest54404: so, after suspend or lid close i'm thinking it might be normal (as part of unlock process)
[15:42] <SonikkuAmerica> iShotz: Well you can... use the Boot Repair PPA to install Boot Repair and run it
[15:43] <iShotz> I'll probably just make a 200MB partition to install grub onto, another for install xubuntu onto and then just format the xubuntu one
[15:43] <iShotz> That shouldn't cause any problems/
[15:43] <iShotz> ?
[15:43] <amdfx> ishotz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[15:44] <iShotz> brb
[15:44] <iShotz> getting my usb stick
[15:44] <Avernus> Anybody wanna help me figure out a problem with ubuntu (and possibly virtualbox)?

[15:45] <yofun> How do go into single user mode from command line?
[15:45] <roland> hi!. I updated a kubuntu 12.04 system and after updating KDE won't boot anymor
[15:45] <roland> I'm able to get into recovery console, but startx won't work
[15:46] <SonikkuAmerica> roland: Try running clean and dpkg from recovery.
[15:46] <Guest54404> betrayd: the screen get automatic locked after 10 minutes
[15:46] <SonikkuAmerica> roland: Then try rebooting normally again.
[15:46] <roland> SonikkuAmerica: just "clean" on the commandline?
[15:47] <SonikkuAmerica> roland: From the recovery menu
[15:47] <betrayd> Guest54404: 10 minutes of inactivity (no mouse or keyboard action)?
[15:47] <Guest54404> betrayd: exactly
[15:47] <betrayd> which sounds about right
[15:49] <chro> hi, where can I put jps so that it can be called from any place?
[15:49] <cppking> i'm running RHEL6,  #cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.xxxxxx/    ;#make menuconfig ;#make    then error occured : no rule to make target "missing syscalls"   ;;how to solve this
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> cppking  better ask in the rhel channel
[15:49] <Guest54404> betrayd: yeah but i can't use my password to login at the locked screen i have to switch to the startup screen to login with my password
[15:49] <DJones> cppking: This is the Ubuntu channel
[15:49] <Avernus> is there any way to mount /tmp before getting to the prompt screen on boot? i'm getting that "/tmp is not ready, please mount" error
[15:49] <cppking> there is nothing different
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> cppking  then why did come here?
[15:50] <cppking> it's same in Ubuntu or RHEL
[15:50] <DJones> cppking: This channel only deals with Ubuntu support
[15:51] <alocer> Avernus: man fstab
[15:51] <cppking> OMG, if I change my words to this " i'm running Ubuntu 12.04.。。。。。。。。。。。。“then you guys will give me support?
[15:52] <Avernus> alocer: i'm afraid i'm not sure what you mean, but i will do some research
[15:52] <iShotz> Ok
[15:52] <iShotz> So
[15:52] <k1l> cppking: dont make a drama out of it. ask the RHEL support about your issue. thats it
[15:52] <alocer> Avernus: in terminal "man fstab"
[15:52] <iShotz> I found I still have my Windows 8 Loader
[15:52] <iShotz> how can i remove grub
[15:52] <alocer> iShotz: you have to fix your MBR
[15:52] <iShotz> uhh
[15:52] <iShotz> uhh
[15:52] <iShotz> how
[15:53] <FloodBot1> iShotz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:53] <cppking> ok ,bye
[15:53] <alocer> iShotz: where did you installed your grub ?
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> cppking  simply type /join #rhel      they're on freenode
[15:53] <iShotz> a deleted partition
[15:53] <betrayd> musta thought it was paid support
[15:53] <Avernus> alocer: right, but i'm talking about on boot. can i bring up terminal while booting? i think i read somewhere it's alt + F2, but that didn't work for me
[15:54] <alocer> Avernus: it brings up a black screen or nothing happens ?
[15:54] <alocer> iShotz: i know a way but ... ( put win 8 cd select repair fix mbr )
[15:54] <iShotz> i don't have my W8 cd
[15:54] <iShotz> in fact
[15:54] <iShotz> i never had one
[15:55] <alocer> iShotz: how u installed win 8 ?
[15:55] <betrayd> it came preinstalled
[15:55] <Avernus> alocer: ubuntu just hard freezes (can only reboot or REISUB). I'm running in Virtualbox, and when it reaches the /tmp mounting prompt it freezes if you try bringing that up, it freezes if you try to skip, and freezes when you try to open the maintenance shell with -m
[15:56] <alocer> Avernus: so when this started to happen ? after fresh install or after a while and before it was working well ?
[15:57] <`brendan> anyone running an hp blade 420c gen8 with ubuntu 12.04 w/ emulex OneConnect 10gb NICs? having issues getting online with the be2net
[15:57] <Avernus> alocer: so i've tried several different types of ubuntu, and it tends to happend right after you reboot the first time for update installs (after basic installation)
[15:57] <yofun> How do I go into command Line mode ?
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> yofun  ctrl-alt-f1
[15:58] <yofun> (Turn off the x server)
[15:58] <yofun> No I want to turn off the x server to save ram CPU etc
[15:58] <yofun> So I can do more stuff
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> !cli | yofun then try this
[15:58] <SonikkuAmerica> !bug 1156306
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> !text | yofun
[15:59] <yofun> Will it start all the WiFi cards etc?
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> yofun  apologies for the wrong factoid
[15:59] <alocer> Avernus: this happens when windows version is x86 and installed guest is x64 and the other is virtualization is not enabled !!
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> yofun  wifi cards are no dependend on X
[16:00] <alocer> Avernus: if the two ways aren't the problem , then i have not any further idea :-)
[16:00] <yofun> MonkeyDust:  will the WiFi cards and everything start? Just not the x server?
[16:00] <Avernus> alocer: Oh my god, how did I not realize that? Jesus I'm dumb, thanks a lot for the tip, i'm going to try using the right .iso
[16:00] <yofun> Oh ok so it should auto connect
[16:00] <alocer> Avernus: :-)
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> yofun  it's the same factoid as nox (no X
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> - ?DEMO Portal? und
[16:02] <decci> Any idea if http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1772.dell-openmanage-deployment-toolkit.aspx have been tried on Ubuntu
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> yofun: the nmapplet is simply a GUI for the network-manager service, which will start
[16:05] <decci> I read that alien is the utility which converts RPM into deb. Say, what if I use dtk for this
[16:06] <zilla> hi the live USB creator is not working for my flash drive    --  when i try to boot it from it it says "Missing Operating System" how can I add a new mbr
[16:06] <zilla> to the flashd rive
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> decci: you call, it can break things
[16:08] <utfans05> zilla: what are you using to put the iso on the usb drive?
[16:08] <zilla> utfans05:  i first tried i ubuntu
[16:09] <zilla> then i tried unetbootin in windows 7
[16:09] <zilla> both failed
[16:09] <zilla> so i must have a bad boot flag or mbr
[16:09] <utfans05> zilla: have you tried reformatting the usb stick
[16:09] <alocer> fat16 zilla
[16:10] <zilla> alocer: if im at fat32 how can i change to 16? do i need to start over?
[16:11] <zilla> i have 12.04 LTS .iso on another drive
[16:12] <alocer> they are the same zilla  , if you formated the flash with linux select fat16
[16:13] <yofun> sudo stop lightdm works too MonkeyDust
[16:14] <yofun> Aw :( it disables the GPUs
[16:15] <yofun> How can I turn my GPUs back on without x server?
[16:15] <alocer> yofun: u cant go around switching on and off your gpu ,
[16:16] <zilla> alocer:
[16:16] <zilla> how can i format the drive fat16
[16:16] <yofun> alocer:  I ran sudo stop lightdm and it stopped my GPU too :(
[16:17] <yofun> So I can't run the command line program I want to run
[16:17] <yofun> Without x server
[16:17] <alocer> try sth else yofun GPU dont have any button to turn ot on :)
[16:17] <yofun> I just wanted the program to run faster
[16:17] <alocer> right click on your drive zilla  select format , use fat32 and your good to go
[16:18] <alocer> yofun: -.-
[16:18] <bodom> Any idea why my just upgraded ubuntu still asks me to be upgraded?
[16:19] <Avernus> alocer: i'm back, and i realized that things were the other way around. you said it would be a problem if the host was x86 and the guest was x64 (opposite way around for me)
[16:19] <alocer> bodom: what is that ? how long did it takes you to upgrade
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> bodom  guess you can ignore it, reboot maybe
[16:19] <Jordan_U> bodom: How did you upgrade?
[16:19] <alocer> Avernus: i have nothing to say
[16:20] <Avernus> alocer: can you recommend a place where i can get help then? i can't find a single resource on this problem that helps me
[16:20] <alocer> Avernus: sry that i can't help . is the virtualization enabled ?
[16:20] <emr> Hello, TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies.  Check SNMP counters Whats that
[16:21] <Avernus> alocer: i can't tell if virtualization is enabled on the ubuntu guest, is there some way to check? people are saying you can check on the BIOS, but i don't know how to access a Vbox guest bios
[16:21] <alocer> Avernus: bios of your laptop :-)
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> emr  ask in ##networking
[16:22] <Avernus> alocer: so i'd have to have virtualization of the host working? i thought it was the other way
[16:22] <demonio> hi all i've a problem i've a device that send stream byte on my ubuntu, i need to store this stream in a file text using c
[16:22] <emr> ok, thanks, MonkeyDust
[16:22] <demonio> but i don't know how to receive this stream
[16:22] <demonio> can anyone help me?
[16:23] <alocer> nope check the host Avernus , but it must be on i have no idea why that is happening to you
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> demonio  are you familiar with C ?
[16:23] <demonio> yes i know how create and store files
[16:23] <Avernus> alocer: yeah because if virtualization were disabled, i wouldn't even be able to use VBox, right?
[16:23] <newbie|2> Hi, I'm testing Tightvncserver on Lubuntu 13.04, all I'm getting is a plain grey X desktop.  Has anyone managed to get vncserver working?
[16:23] <demonio> but i don't know what source use
[16:24] <demonio> i don't know what where this stream are
[16:26] <alocer> Avernus: u are able to use vbox but that happens that to you happened :D
[16:26] <bodom> alocer: it says "New release '13.04' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it." It took about 2 hours to upgrade
[16:26] <Pici> bodom: Does it say that when you login via ssh? or in the gui?
[16:26] <bodom> MonkeyDust: I think that too, but it's annoying
[16:26] <alocer> bodom: its funny . you are on 13.04 and its telling you to upgrade to 13.04 ?
[16:26] <bodom> Jordan_U: I upgraded with do-release-upgrade
[16:27] <bodom> Pici: via SSH, i don't have a gui
[16:27] <Pici> bodom: Theres a bug out there about that, let me see if I can find it for you.
[16:27] <pheonixash> hi all does anyone know about the wifi stack in ubuntu?
[16:27] <bodom> alocer: /etc/lsb-release says i'm 13.04
[16:28] <bodom> Pici: ty, i couldn't google it
[16:28] <alocer> for me its time to learn (^^)
[16:28] <vitimiti> hi o/
[16:32] <Pici> bodom: sorry, just give me a few minutes. I know I saw it, just can't seem to find it...
[16:33] <Pici> bodom: aha! Take a look at comment 16 and 17 here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1173209
[16:39] <bodom> Pici: lol! Thank you!
[16:39] <cuddylier> Why when I download files into a directory, does it change the owner of those files to 'root' when the directory and all the files within are owned by the user 'mc18'?
[16:40] <bodom> cuddylier: which user is downloading the files?
[16:40] <cuddylier> bodom The user mc18
[16:40] <cuddylier> Through a program, but the program is ran as user18, not root
[16:40] <cuddylier> So I don't see why it would change them..
[16:41] <bodom> cuddylier: to me, the only possible explanation looks like that program changing owner of them, have you tryed with a different one?
[16:41] <jrib> cuddylier: your program is likely running as root... what program is this?
[16:42] <cuddylier> Multicraft, it's running as the user 'minecraft'
[16:42] <cuddylier> So even then, I still don't see how
[16:42] <freduard> hi!
[16:42] <jrib> cuddylier: I remember from your previous question it also seemed like the program was running as root
[16:43] <cuddylier> jrib I think I did have it running as root then, but I changed it to run as 'minecraft' and each server runs as a different use 'mc[serverid]'
[16:43] <cuddylier> If you are familar with tekkit, it downloads files when started, these files that get downloaded are set as root.
[16:44] <jrib> cuddylier: only root can change ownership.  So unless you have some other program running as root and changing ownership or have setup some strange ACLs, your program is running as root
[16:45] <cuddylier> There are two processes in my top both using 100% CPU exactly, very weird
[16:45] <cuddylier> Looks like it's bugged to me
[16:46] <bean> cuddylier, what are the processes.
[16:47] <cuddylier> Both java ones
[16:47] <bodom> cuddylier: total is 100*n, where n is number of CPU... looks like you don't know how top works to me :P
[16:47] <bean> okay, and how many cores on the box.
[16:47] <cuddylier> 4
[16:47] <cuddylier> 8 threads
[16:47] <bean> you can have 100% * no_of_cores.
[16:47] <guest4001> mooooo
[16:47] <linuxpoet> I have had an odd problem on two different machines with Raring, after the latest round of updates all of a sudden my X configuration is no longer accepted and it requires me to go back to safe mode graphics. I fixed it on a laptop by removing lightdm and then installing gdm (which was just an outright guess) but on my workstation I am already running GDM
[16:47] <linuxpoet> this is 64bit
[16:47] <cuddylier> Yea, I know it can go over 100%
[16:47] <linuxpoet> both with nvidia cards
[16:48] <cuddylier> Which is why I'm saying it's weird
[16:48] <linuxpoet> any thoughts?
[16:48] <FloodBot1> linuxpoet: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:50] <mikwalker> Hi, I'm testing vncserver on Lubuntu 13.04, all I'm getting is a plain X desktop, has anyone got vncserver running correctly?
[16:50] <bodom> elisa87: assimung you don't have hardware problems, it's probably a bug in the software
[16:50] <bean> and this isn't really a programming help channel
[16:51] <elisa87> bodom: this is a tested code. I have downloaded and it compiled correctly but now I have problem regarding its execution! How can I use gdb? and what is the file pointer error?
[16:53] <bodom> elisa87: This is the wrong channel for these questions, i think you should ask on #c
[16:59] <phisher1> Hello all,
[16:59] <phisher1> I'm trying to configure an external app for ssh:// protocol handler.  I have configured xdg-open to call an external script that calls /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal and connects to the host in the ssh:// url.  xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/ssh returns my config file for the ssh mimetime, but when xdg-open ssh://hostname is ran, it opens the hostname in a SFTP nautilus window.  I have confirmed that my methods for xdg are proper, as I can make a
[16:59] <phisher1> xdg appears to be ignoring my ssh:// mimetype though. Can anyone help ? I am running Xubuntu, in Xfce, 12.04.2
[17:08] <betrayd> phisher1 how were you able to confirm
[17:08] <phisher1> betrayd  xdg-open abc://host.name    works.
[17:09] <betrayd> as in, an xfce terminal appeared (just trying to get the picture)
[17:09] <ninjah_> exit
[17:09] <ninjah_> \exit
[17:09] <phisher1> correct.. appeared and opened up ssh to my hostname given via the abc://hostname  url
[17:10] <dmjaz> Is there any way around the 25 post minimum required to download attachments? I'm trying to grab a patch for my touchpad but I can only find it hosted on ubuntuforums.com.
[17:10] <phisher1> there's a 25 post minimum to download from the forums??
[17:10] <betrayd> phisher1 the external script exists in two places
[17:11] <phisher1> betrayd .. the script, or the config file for the mimetype?
[17:11] <dmjaz> Yeah, I can't do anything for the  most part. I can't even use the search functionality to see if this question has been addressed.
[17:11] <pcarson> Can anyone point me to a channel for help on adding an external hard drive?  Thanks!
[17:11] <dmjaz> and I don't feel like posting a bunch of support requests just to get to a patch I want to test.
[17:11] <phisher1> I've tried placing it in /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/shared/applications
[17:11] <SonikkuAmerica> pcarson: ##hardware
[17:12] <pcarson> Thank you!
[17:12] <bodom> dmjaz: that's a stupid limitation... just spam 25 posts and download it :)
[17:12] <phisher1> that being said ,   xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/ssh    retuns my config file
[17:12] <dmjaz> It says something about requiring 25 bean posts? I'm assuming that means they can't just be BS.
[17:13] <dmjaz> plus the script that chances that status runs once every hour, so it won't really get me anywhere more quickly
[17:14] <phisher1> dmjaz: link me to post

[17:17] <echoe> is there any kernel for undervolting that's being kept up to date? I'm installing 12.04 on my laptop with this: [warning: popup ads] http://linuxsolver.blogspot.com/2012/05/undervolting-cpu-in-ubuntu-1204.html < and it's great that 12.04 is a LTS releast but I'm just worried about after that. Since undervolting has to never go away.
[17:17] <SuperGauntlet> The GUI installer for Xubuntu isn't showing icons for the guided partitioning (like, 'drag the divider to allocate space'), which side is Xubuntu on by default?
[17:17] <dmjaz> Grab the third. I'm hoping that will work even though my kernal is a very versions after that.
[17:18] <dmjaz> *is a few versions

[17:18] <dmjaz> Arrrrgh, this mouse is killing me.
[17:18] <dmjaz> phisher1: Thanks.
[17:18] <betrayd> is it a large mouse
[17:18] <echoe> yoshie, ethernet? pci plug in wifi? built in wifi? are your drivers working? that's where I would check first
[17:18] <phisher1> dmjaz: http://www.phisher1.us/uploads/psmouse-3.2.0-30-generic-pae.tar.bz2
[17:18] <bodom> lol
[17:18] <dmjaz> No, it's small but sneaky.
[17:19] <dmjaz> phisher1: Thanks again. Saved me the hassle of posting BS.
[17:19] <phisher1> yup np
[17:19] <SuperGauntlet> Anyone have any idea about the partition gui?
[17:20] <Yoshie> echoe: hello, Ethernet yes  aka  eth0,  I did a  sudo lshw -C network and it gave an out put of   MCP61: Ethernet
[17:20] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know what is rogue cron job?
[17:21] <jrib> mojtaba: why do you ask?
[17:21] <phisher1> mojtaba: in the context of, you don't know what is running the job?
[17:21] <Jester86> Hey all
[17:21] <echoe> yoshi, netstat not showing any packets going in and out? can't ping anything?
[17:21] <bodom> mojtaba: it's a cron job waiting in the woods to ambush you
[17:21] <sonOfRa> Anyone here running 13.04 on a Thinkpad T510 with a MiniDock Plus Series 3?
[17:21] <mojtaba> jrib: I have a host with bluehost and they said that they have throttled my account because of that.
[17:22] <Jester86> anyone running Ubuntu Touch on Droid 4?
[17:22] <mojtaba> bodom: ?
[17:22] <MonkeyDust> !touch
[17:22] <DJones> !touch | Jester86
[17:22] <betrayd> what are the odds sonOfRa
[17:22] <Jester86> ah thanks DJones
[17:22] <Yoshie> echoe: correct, as the wheel keeps spinning kind of thing..... and it keeps stating that eth0 has disconnected for some wierd reason as a pop up.
[17:22] <sonOfRa> Upon removing the laptop from the dock, it shuts down immediately, not cleanly, but just poweroff
[17:22] <betrayd> sonOfRa just state your problem
[17:22] <bodom> mojtaba: just kidding, it's a cron job you don't know of
[17:22] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  if you type crontab -e    does it show this rogue thing?
[17:22] <Jester86> I tried #ubuntutouch .. didn't think about trying that one
[17:23] <echoe> what's ethtool eth0 say?
[17:23] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: Let me check that
[17:23] <sonOfRa> betrayd, the "anyone" was kind of necessary because it is a special case, and only happens on that exact configuration.
[17:24] <Yoshie> echoe: im not sure id have to reboot and check it out to find that one, only have 1 pc right now and its running windows
[17:24] <jrib> mojtaba: they probably just mean you have a cron job that's hogging resources for whatever reason
[17:24] <sonOfRa> This only happens with ubuntu, i tried other distributions on the same hardware, and it no longer occurs.
[17:24] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: It says that I am not allowed to use this program
[17:24] <betrayd> sort of a prologue, is it battery or AC when undocked
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  i read here, the 'rogue cron job' is related to mac os
[17:24] <sonOfRa> it should go to battery. there is no AC cable connected when undocking
[17:25] <sonOfRa> (can't be, because of the way dock is build, really)
[17:25] <betrayd> understood sonOfRa
[17:25] <Yoshie> echoe: want me to check that out and than come back?
[17:26] <echoe> yoshie, I'd check that and also look for the model# and see if anyone reports anything about incompatibilities w/drivers with that
[17:26] <sonOfRa> Haven't tried any other Ubuntus other than 13.04/amd64, but on other distributions it works fine. Windows is fine, too
[17:26] <echoe> you're going to need to copy and paste the information down somehow too. maybe a USB stick and a text file :P
[17:27] <betrayd> you might know where acpi-events are located, might be lacking an 'undock' event scenario and does the poweroff as fallbacl
[17:27] <cuddylier> Does anyone know how to allow users to access /proc/[process id]/stat? The user who is trying to access it owns the directory, e.g. /proc/2554/stat, the user mc85 might own it if it's their process. At the moment, they are just denied access, yet another machine with ubuntu I have is fine.
[17:27] <sonOfRa> I added empty undock scenarios for the undock and dock events
[17:27] <sonOfRa> this does not fix it.
[17:29] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  you always have the strangest questions and problems, i wonder what you are doing
[17:29] <sonOfRa> I found exactly one other person with the same problems on the lenovo community forums, also running 13.04 on a t510 with the same dock
[17:29] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: :-P
[17:30] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: I am learning and also recently shifted to linux and I like this OS very much.
[17:30] <betrayd> sonOfRa empty? Make it do something so you know it enters that part 'echo hey ima undocking'
[17:31] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: Meanwhile I am designing a website. :)
[17:31] <sonOfRa> yeah, that's kind of what I understood with empty ^^
[17:31] <sonOfRa> it does not enter that part
[17:31] <sonOfRa> at least, it is not able to save the file I'm piping output to before it shuts off
[17:31] <betrayd> sonOfRa might be putting in the wrong spot? Or some event is triggering it prior <<
[17:32] <Diomedes> Hey there! Do you know where I could ask for help concerning Creative X-Fi on Linux?
[17:32] <echoe> while [ 1==1 ] do sleep 5; echo "hey ima have no idea if i'm undocking"; done &
[17:32] <echoe> :D
[17:33] <MonkeyDust> Diomedes  wepends on what it is
[17:33] <MonkeyDust> Diomedes  depends on what it is
[17:33] <sonOfRa> betrayd, http://phihag.de/2012/thinkpad-docking.html used that for figuring out the docking events
[17:33] <Diomedes> Well, minor problem is that I am lacking software for configuring it. Major problem is that voip is not working at all.
[17:34] <sonOfRa> they are in the right place
[17:34] <sonOfRa> However, "power off without asking" doesn't seem like a reasonable default behavious for an event
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> Diomedes  you want to configure it, but what is it, what does it do?
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> ok, it's a soundblaster
[17:35] <Diomedes> Well, all kinds of stuff like EAX, equalizer, bass etc.
[17:36] <Diomedes> There is some software for Windows made by Creative, but none for Linux it seems.
[17:36] <MonkeyDust> Diomedes  you didnt say it's a sound card
[17:36] <Diomedes> Oh, sorry.
[17:36] <DreamPCs> Hey guys, sorry to ask this question as I'm sure it's been asked a dozen times, but could someone please point me to KNOWN WORKING instructions to get Ubuntu installed with nVidia proprietary driver?
[17:37] <DreamPCs> Specifically, I have a GeForce 9500 GT
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> !nvidia | DreamPCs is this useful
[17:38] <DreamPCs> Does this page address the new kernel issues and X not supporting legacy code or something or other?
[17:39] <pcarson> How (Who) do I get a +v in ##hardware?  Thanks!
[17:39] <jrib> pcarson: #freenode can help you with that
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> DreamPCs  i missed that part in your initial question
[17:40] <DreamPCs> MonkeyDust: That page was last edited December of 2k12, I don't think it addresses the current issues.
[17:40] <OerHeks> pcarson, maybe register your nickname ?
[17:40] <michagogo> !natty
Oops !   If my program while linking specifies -lpthread before -lsqlite3 then it gets all linker errors for pthread_* methods... but if I specify -lpthread later, then it links fine... any reason why?
[17:44] <DreamPCs> Well, apparently a lot of people are having issues with 13.04 (I don't know the technical details) because the 3.8* kernel and/or X has apparently dropped some support for "legacy" cards. This causes a lot of people to upgrade or do a fresh installation and end up at a terminal prompt on boot or no hardware acceleration.
[17:45] <neighbors> I installed ubuntu 12.04 desktop on one machine and 12.04 server on another, but one has a 3.2 kernel and the other a 3.5
[17:45] <neighbors> I cannot figure out why they have different kernels, /etc/apt/sources.list are identical between them
[17:45] <bekks> neighbors: Install the latest kernel then. sudo apt-get install linux-image
[17:45] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors: the later installed one will have the 3.5 this is normal
[17:46] <echoe> does the older kernel say anything specific? *is installing an old kernel on 12.04 now*
[17:46] <bekks> Introduced with 12.04.2, the 3.5 kernel was in the repos due to a critical bugfix
[17:46] <neighbors> shouldn't a normal apt-get dist-upgrade bring the one with the 3.2 kernel up to 3.5 then?
[17:46] <jrib> neighbors: only if you have the proper package installed
[17:46] <neighbors> echoe: I didn't notice a message like that
[17:46] <bekks> neighbors: Kernels arent updated automatically, you have to run the command above
[17:47] <neighbors> I see, interesting, OK let me try an apt-get install linux-image
[17:47] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors: no, all subsequent precise installs will get 3.5 its no bad thing.  Just enjoy the OS :-)
[17:48] <neighbors> I notice 3.5 is no longer on kernel.org which seems a little odd, will it go up to 3.9 at some point on its own?
[17:48] <bekks> neighbors: No.
[17:48] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors : when updates are ready, they will come
[17:49] <linuxnewb2> If you build it, they will come!
[17:49] <meganerd> DreamPCs: If nVidia drops support for "legacy" devices then there is nothing that can be done if you want to use the proprietary driver
[17:50] <neighbors> so doing an apt-get install linux-image on the box with a 3.2 kernel results in a 3.2 kernel still, do I have to specify some other package?
[17:50] <Actionparsnip> A supported gpu is usually pretty cheap too
[17:50] <bekks> neighbors: did you run sudo apt-get update before?
[17:51] <neighbors> yeah, but I can try again
[17:51] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors : is there something in the 3.5 kernel you need?
[17:51] <DreamPCs> It's not nVidia dropping support, it's something to do with compatibility with the new X. I read somewhere that blacklisting the new nVidia driver and/or X will solve the issue. But I also read that blacklisting new X versions is a bad update if you keep the system up to date.
[17:51] <cuddylier> Does anyone know how to allow users to access /proc/[process id]/stat? The user who is trying to access it owns the directory, e.g. /proc/2554/stat, the user mc85 might own it if it's their process. At the moment, they are just denied access, yet another machine with ubuntu I have is fine.
[17:51] <DreamPCs> And the video card I have (GeForce 9500 GT) is enough for this machine and I don't want to spend money for something that works in 12.10.
[17:51] <neighbors> Not at this moment, but I kind of wanted my development box and server box to be rather similar, I might play around with lxc and kvm and it's possible kernel differences might come into play, I'm not sure
[17:51] <anddam> do I need resolvconf for a single, statically configured, interface?
[17:52] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors: is the 3.2 kernel running ok?
[17:52] <meganerd> DreamPCs: now you know why proprietary drivers suck
[17:52] <neighbors> Actionparsnip: yeah it's running fine
[17:52] <anddam> also I cannot see any "nameserver" option in interfaces(5), why is this?
[17:52] <meganerd> DreamPCs: sorry that came out snarky
[17:53] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors : I believe there is a backport package but I can't remember the name
[17:53] <DreamPCs> meganerd: What would you recommend? I either have to pay for new hardware (for a software problem) or use opensource drivers without 3d acceleration.
[17:53] <DreamPCs> No prob meganerd, I know what you mean and I don't like it either lol.
[17:53] <yashwant> i am unable to change ntfs owner in Linux.
[17:53] <meganerd> DreamPCs: proprietary video drivers have driven me insane since they became available
[17:53] <Actionparsnip>  Meganerd: not had an issue with nvidia for 13 years now
[17:53] <DreamPCs> Yeah I hear you. Strangely I've never hard issues with Ubuntu and this card since maybe 8.04 or something
[17:53] <yashwant> any body know how to change the owner of ntfs drive in linux
[17:54] <meganerd> DreamPCs: nvidia is my current hate on, I have managed to get optimus working on my laptop with 12.10
[17:54] <Actionparsnip> Yashwant: you specify it at mount time
[17:54] <meganerd> DreamPCs: but my box at home with  a 5770 worked out of the box
[17:54] <DreamPCs> I'm not even sure if nVidia considers my card legacy or not. Normally proprietary installs are no issue for this card.
[17:56] <meganerd> DreamPCs: out of curiosity, does noveau work with your card?
[17:56] <Actionparsnip> Yashwant : you will get issues with NTFS if it is not unplugged cleanly. Lots of windows users dont use safe remove before unplugging then wonder why they get issues
[17:56] <DreamPCs> It does, without issue.
[17:57] <meganerd> DreamPCs: do you *need* the proprietary driver?
[17:57] <DreamPCs> Well, I don't "need" it but I can't really game without it. And Steam for Linux is useless without 3d acceleration. Plus, I can't watch YouTube in HD fullscreen without it.
[17:58] <Actionparsnip>  Dreampcs: even with minitube?
[17:59] <meganerd> DreamPCs: on my laptop with the optimus garbage, I ended up with the PPA edgers, bumblebee PPA, and a custom built 3.8 kernel.  When I reinstall I am probably just going to disable the nvidia GPU in the BIOS
[17:59] <DreamPCs> I haven't tried with Minitube although I suspect it would work. Problem is, minitube doesn't pull links from browsers. So if I'm watching a video someone linked to on G+ for instance, I don't have a way to watch it unless I launch the app and search for the same video.
[18:00] <DreamPCs> meganerd: Well if that's what I have to do I just won't upgrade the kernel.
[18:00] <neighbors> so I was able to get the kernels to match by doing an apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal
[18:00] <neighbors> on the box with the 3.2 kernel
[18:00] <neighbors> I see there's a raring kernel available, too
[18:01] <Actionparsnip> Neighbors : that's the one :-)
[18:01] <Actionparsnip> !info linux-image-generic-lts-quantal
[18:02] <Actionparsnip> !info linux-image-generic-lts-quantal precise
[18:02] <DreamPCs> This ubottu thing is great.
[18:03] <Actionparsnip> Dreampcs: lots. She is very smart
[18:03] <Actionparsnip> But not intelligent
[18:04] <DreamPCs> That's good stuff. I remember my old IRC days back with mIRC was the way to go.
[18:04] <DreamPCs> I'm writing Ubuntu to USB now so I can install it. I'm currently running Sabayon.
[18:04] <meganerd> DreamPCs: The easiest solution is an ATI one (or the Intel integrated).  For me the HD4000 in my laptop is good enough for everything except gaming, but the NVS 5400M is terrible for that anyway
[18:04] <Actionparsnip> Only through ignorance of other clients :-)
[18:05] <DreamPCs> I have some onboard vga but I have no idea what it is. I've never used it lol.
[18:05] <pipegeek> I'm trying to run a network install of precise, and I can't find a way to tell it it should use eth2 instead of eth0.  during the network autoconfiguration stage, it attempts to dhclient eth0, fails, and gives up.  If I execute a shell, I can manually dhclient eth2 with no issues, but debian-installer refuses to use that nic
[18:05] <meganerd> DreamPCs: the custom kernel was so I could get a new kernel that better supported my hardware.  http://www.phoronix.com is a great place to look
[18:05] <pipegeek> any ideas?
[18:05] <DreamPCs> I'll check out that page now.
[18:05] <Actionparsnip> Dreampcs : irssi is extremely scriptable and uses perl and so forth. Lots of power
[18:06] <bekks> DreamPCs: mirc never was state of the art ;) And just use "sudo lspci | grep -ui vga" for getting which graphics card you have.
[18:06] <DreamPCs> Really? I need to look into that
[18:06] <DreamPCs> I just use xchat lol.
[18:07] <Actionparsnip>  Pipegeek: if you make udev rules you can call it what you wish.  Search for  "rename eth1 eth0"
[18:07] <pipegeek> well ok, but... that doesn't seem like an answer
[18:07] <pipegeek> is there actually no way to tell D-I to install over an interface that's not called 'eth0'? o.O
[18:07] <DreamPCs> bekks: Output only shows 1, my GeForce 9500.
[18:08] <neighbors> thanks Actionparsnip and bekks and whoever else for the kernel help :)  I think I'm going to go ahead and bump to the raring kernel while I'm at it
[18:08] <bekks> DreamPCs: Thats your graphics card.
[18:09] <DreamPCs> I know, I'm saying I don't know what GPU is attached to my motherboard is all.
[18:09] <DreamPCs> BY attached, I mean onboard.
[18:11] <goddard> how can i view my public gpg key via the command line?
[18:12] <pipegeek> I'm trying to run a network install of precise, and I can't find a way to tell it it should use eth2 instead of eth0.  during the network autoconfiguration stage, it attempts to dhclient eth0, fails, and gives up.  If I execute a shell, I can manually dhclient eth2 with no issues, but debian-installer refuses to use that nic
[18:12] <bekks> DreamPCs: You just investigated and told us which GPU is attached.
[18:14] <DreamPCs> bekks I think there's a loss of communication some where. I've always known what 3rd party video card I have in this machine. It's an nVidia GeForce 9500GT. I came in here initially to get updated instructions on installing the proprietary closed sourced driver. Someone (I don't recall) mentioned that they are using their intergrated VGA and it works well for them. I then mentioned that I don't even know what onboard VGA adapter I have.
[18:14] <DreamPCs> That's all, lol.
[18:16] <goddard> how can i view my public gpg key via the command line?
[18:18] <DreamPCs> goddard: try gpg --list-keys
[18:18] <goddard> DreamPCs: that doesn't list the public key though
[18:19] <DreamPCs> No idea then, I just pulled that from this site: http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x56.html
[18:20] <th0r> goddard: I bet --list-public-keys would work, but so would
[18:20] <th0r> 'man gpg'
[18:21] <pipegeek> I'm trying to run a network install of precise, and I can't find a way to tell it it should use eth2 instead of eth0.  during the network autoconfiguration stage, it attempts to dhclient eth0, fails, and gives up.  If I execute a shell, I can manually dhclient eth2 with no issues, but debian-installer refuses to use that nic
[18:22] <SuperGauntlet> Does moving a partition change the GUID?
[18:25] <echoe> ... I hope yoshie didn't break everything
[18:25] <meganerd> DreamPCs: what CPU do you have?
[18:25] <ubuntu> ubuntupm
[18:26] <DreamPCs> This machine has a dual core E2180
[18:26] <DreamPCs> Pentium
[18:26] <betrayd> pipegeek, second one also built in?
[18:27] <pipegeek> betrayd: second one is a pcie card, but it's definitely being recognized.  'ip addr' shows it, and again, executing dhclient explicitly works
[18:27] <pipegeek> it's not that it can't find it, it's that there's no setting in the ui I can find to switch interfaces
[18:28] <pipegeek> but I'm going to try passing in "interface=eth2" as a kernel option and see if that helps
[18:28] <betrayd> pipegeek maybe switchoff eth0 thru BIOS?
[18:28] <pipegeek> I mean
[18:28] <pipegeek> I want eth0 to be available :P
[18:28] <pipegeek> I just don't want it to install over it because there's no dhcp on that network :P
[18:28] <betrayd> ok
[18:28] <pipegeek> but we'll see if interface=eth2 works
[18:29] <betrayd> have a cold one in the fridge?
[18:29] <pipegeek> betrayd: sadly no
[18:30] <betrayd> bbm
[18:31] <DreamPCs> How can I tell if nVidia considers my card to be a legacy card?
[18:31] <meganerd> DreamPCs: my last laptop was a T9550 and I found the intel GPU to be good enough for video, just in no way useful for gaming.
[18:32] <DreamPCs> Yeah I hear you. No gaming is damn-near a deal breaker for me. I don't need to be playing the latest games but I need something.
[18:32] <bekks> DreamPCs: You have 9500GT, which is not a legacy card. "legacy" cards were all cards up to 8xxx series.
[18:32] <DreamPCs> Ok cool bekks, thanks for the info.
[18:33] <meganerd> DreamPCs: have you upgrade to 13.04 yet?
[18:34] <DreamPCs> I did about a week ago but because of the drivers I lost that installation. I'm running Sabayon right now but I'm about to reinstall 13.04 in a few minutes.
[18:35] <meganerd> DreamPCs: did you try the nVidia download or the nvidia-current (apt) driver?
[18:36] <DreamPCs> First I tried the 310 drivers in the repository. After that didn't work, I tried the 319 drivers straight from nvidias website. I got so far down the rabbit hole I eventually just installed another OS.
[18:36] <DreamPCs> Open source drivers are fine, but whenever I install the closed sources ones either I cannot login (black screens back to login prompt) or everything is horrendously slow and 3d acceleration still doesn't work.
[18:37] <DreamPCs> It does work however on Sabayon through the defailt installation.
[18:37] <meganerd> DreamPCs: from what I read a few months ago (when I got the new laptop) there were a ton of changes being made to entire graphics stack.  Lots of kernel changes.
[18:38] <subz3r0> does anyone know a linux alternative to the program "visual certexam manager"?
[18:38] <meganerd> DreamPCs: you might want to add the PPA xorg-edgers, phoronix has a lot of articles on this stuff
[18:38] <DreamPCs> Yeah I think that's why I need to stick to an older kernel or something
[18:38] <DreamPCs> I'm looking on phoronix's page now and I can't find anything that I need.
[18:38] <meganerd> DreamPCs: well the problem is that entire stack kinda depends on each other.
[18:39] <bekks> DreamPCs: Yeah, that always happen when people go to moronix. :>
[18:39] <DreamPCs> This sounds like a fun project.
[18:40] <grlpx> ubuntu is a very idiosintocratic operative system
[18:41] <grlpx> how do I make interesting stuff with ubuntu
[18:41] <grlpx> ?
[18:41] <grlpx> to me it looks like having windoze
[18:42] <echoe> modify kernel
[18:42] <echoe> win internets
[18:42] <bekks> grlpx: So you judge by what you see, without understanding what you see. Please keep that out of here.
[18:42] <mcscruff> hi all, i have just updated to 13.04, and now my wireless doesnt work.. i have rtl8723ae which i had to compile drivers for on 12.10 but now it is supported, it appears in iwconfig but can not scan for any networks
[18:43] <grlpx> bekks: of course, like you
[18:43] <bekks> grlpx: You started the OT, now please stop it.
[18:44] <kristenbb> hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.04, but when I boot, it says: grub error: missing partition. What to do ?
[18:45] <DreamPCs> kristenbb is this before or after you installed Ubuntu?
[18:45] <kristenbb> after
[18:45] <DreamPCs> Do you have more than 1 hard drive? Or more than 1 partition?
[18:45] <kristenbb> yes
[18:46] <kristenbb> 2 drives, 3 on /sda which is data, and 2 on sdb, which the installation created
[18:46] <Yoshie> echoe: hello
[18:47] <DreamPCs> My guess is the grub boot loader is referencing the wrong partition. My suggestion, for is to check your BIOS and see which hard drive it boots from. Then reinstall Ubuntu and point to to that drive when installing the boat loader.
[18:47] <echoe> hey, any troubles?
[18:47] <umc> guys, after an ubuntu 10.04 LTS upgrade to 12.04 LTS, postfix is acting weird... I can receive mails, send mails to the same domain, but not to yahoo for example. in the syslog I see "warning: hostname localhost does not resolve to address ::1: No address associated with hostname". in my /etc/hosts I have line "::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback". is this correct ? or am I missing something ?
[18:47] <echoe> what did it give you?
[18:47] <DreamPCs> brb rebooting to a LiveUSB
[18:48] <Yoshie> echoe: Yeah sadly did not work, however i found the bug doing a google search       https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1003297
[18:48] <kristenbb> DreamPCs: how can I remove the boot loader from sda?
[18:48] <echoe> did the workaround work?
[18:48] <bekks> kristenbb: By overwriting the first 448 bytes of the harddisk.
[18:48] <echoe> ethtool eth0 just analyzes the port, it doesn't fix anything
[18:48] <kristenbb> bekks: how exactly ?
[18:49] <bekks> kristenbb: Why do you want to do it, anyway?
[18:49] <Yoshie> echoe: the work around is not guaranteed to work, and i dont want to have to type that everysingle time i boot my system lol..... ..
[18:49] <kristenbb> bekks: i don't know, it would appear that I'm not using the correct drive
[18:49] <kristenbb> bekks: i just want to install ubuntu, I've been trying for days :(
[18:49] <echoe> yoshie you should be able to add that command to rc.local to have it autorun
[18:50] <bekks> kristenbb: Then overwriting the bootloader will not solve it.
[18:50] <kristenbb> bekks: so what would ?
[18:50] <bekks> kristenbb: What exactly happens when you boot off a livecd?
[18:50] <echoe> but yes it isn't ideal. ... am working on a similar issue myslf with undervolting and an mv-40 processor actually.
[18:50] <Yoshie> echoe: did you check that bug report out?
[18:50] <kristenbb> bekks: a live cd ?
[18:50] <bekks> kristenbb: Or the install cd.
[18:51] <kristenbb> bekks: a live cd works, that's not the issue. The issue is when I boot with the drives.
[18:51] <echoe> yoshie, yes, the last post seems workable if you can get that
[18:51] <echoe> i mean obviously it isn't perfect. >.>
[18:52] <Yoshie> echoe: hmm, how long does it usually take for a small bug like that to get fixed? cause that bug has been there for over a year....
[18:52] <bekks> kristenbb: Then where did you install grub to?
[18:53] <kristenbb> bekks: I don't know, I didn't install anything by hand, I just hit next,next,next on the installation procedure, and input my name and such where asked.
[18:53] <bekks> kristenbb: And you were asked where to install grub.
[18:53] <kristenbb> bekks: maybe, I chose the default then.
[18:54] <bekks> kristenbb: The default depends on the installation options chosen.
[18:54] <rymate1234> kristenbb, do you not read installers?
[18:54] <echoe> Yoshie, I've just moved from fedora, so I really don't know. but it looks like it's a low priority thing for some reason
[18:54] <kristenbb> so what to do from here? how can I check where grub was installed from the live cd ?
[18:55] <tipox> http://pastebin.com/gNzDMdGW
[18:55] <Yoshie> echoe: yeah i just also tried fedora a few minutes ago and fedora is having the same issue sadly... ..
[18:55] <tipox> can someone help me?
[18:55] <pjack30> hellopat_, i've got a rootkit on my system, "ps aux" keeps hidding its real path  with nullbyte
[18:55] <pjack30> hello*
[18:55] <echoe> fedora is bad at everything
[18:55] <pjack30> how i can get a real process fulll path???
[18:55] <echoe> I mean, not really but ... uh, I left it for a reason, and that reason is "sleep bugs and gneeral crappiness"
[18:55] <pjack30> root      2589  0.0  0.1  33376  4224 ?        S    May21   0:08 [eth0]

[18:56] <pjack30> i want to get its path
[18:56] <pjack30> please help
[18:56] <echoe> i assume top -c nulls the path as well?
[18:56] <makerbrakr> hi,
[18:56] <pjack30> top also views [eth0] only
[18:56] <tipox> http://pastebin.com/gNzDMdGW can someone help me ?
[18:56] <kristenbb> bekks: I tried boot repair before, but it still says the same error message.
[18:56] <makerbrakr> whats the best way to monitor netplug, and take an action based on a change?
[18:56] <pjack30> tis a perl bot with virus
[18:57] <bekks> kristenbb: So whats the full, exact error then?
[18:58] <kristenbb> bekks: well from here I can't give it to you anymore, without restarting the computer, since I'm on the livecd. But it's something like. grub error: partition missing.
[18:58] <frozenlock> I'm running a script at startup, but the machine doesn't seem to be connected to the LAN yet when it runs it. Is there a way to wait for the interface to be up?
[18:58] <bekks> kristenbb: We need the exact error message.
[18:59] <kristenbb> bekks: ok, I'll restart then
[18:59] <kristenbb> bekks: and also, on the page you gave, there is a terminal way of doing it, and so I tried: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb. But I get Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting.
[18:59] <kristenbb> should I still restart ?
[19:01] <kristenbb> well I'll restart anyway since you're not answering, I get it doesn't hurt.
[19:02] <DreamPCs> Hey guys, any ideas on how I can install nvidia drivers from alive usb to a local install?
[19:02] <DreamPCs> kristebb: You weren't talking to me I hope.
[19:03] <giuseppe__> hi all i've a device that send stream byte in usb port and i need to pick this stream byte and put they in a file so my question is where i can find this stream?
[19:03] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: why not just install the binary version in the repo?
[19:03] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: or maybe i misunderstood your question
[19:04] <eN_Joy> i remember there's a command line tool to help you build regex incrementally, forgot it's name, anyone? thanks
[19:04] <DreamPCs> tacomaster: In the past (about 2 weeks ago) I had issues using the driver that shipped with Ubuntu. I wanted to install it via the terminal.
[19:05] <DreamPCs> I just wanted to know since I'm doing a fresh install now, if I can use the live usb (that's currently running) to install the nvidia drivers directly to the just-installed installation.
[19:05] <moses> how do install a compiler onto ubuntu?
[19:05] <eN_Joy> something like pcretest?
[19:05] <meganerd> moses: apt-get install build-essential
[19:05] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1823659
[19:06] <DreamPCs> Thanks Cool Ranch!
[19:06] <moses> meganerd: i have the tar.gz in a folder
[19:06] <moses> on my ubuntu
[19:07] <DreamPCs> tacomaster, I need to know how I can use the terminal in a live USB to edit the installed Ubuntu, not the live running one.
[19:07] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: ooo ok
[19:07] <BigFist> I've noticed my ubuntu stops loading after: sd 7:0:0:3: [sdf] Assuming drive cache: write through
[19:07] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: look in to chroot then
[19:07] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: after you chroot in to your existing install then run the command
[19:07] <DreamPCs> Ok, will do, thanks.
[19:08] <BigFist> of course every second (or so) time it loads properly, and the next line is  sdf: sdf1
[19:08] <yeats> DreamPCs: depending on the issue, it may not be necessary to use chroot, fwiw

[19:09] <tacomaster> yeats: he needs to install a package
[19:09] <DreamPCs> tacomaster, looking at your link now.
[19:09] <kristenbb> so I rebooted and the exact error message is: error: no such partition. grub rescue>
[19:09] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: going afk for a few seconds if you have any more questions ill just look up
[19:09] <yeats> tacomaster: ah - sorry - didn't have the full scrollback
[19:10] <kafka> tacomaster: i missed
[19:10] <DreamPCs> yeats, to make a long story short, I want to use a live CD(usb) to install the proprietary nvidia drivers. I literally just installed Ubuntu from this USB and I was wondering if I can install the nvidia drivers before even ooting Ubuntu
[19:10] <yeats> DreamPCs: I think it would be easier to boot into the installed version and use a terminal
[19:12] <DreamPCs> Well I can't run nvidia-settings (or whatever the command is) if the GUI is running.  I figured this way I at least have internet access if something goes foul.
[19:12] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: sudo stop lightdm
[19:12] <sr_smith> Hello
[19:12] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: use links
[19:12] <yeats> or wget
[19:12] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: links is a webbrowser with out the need of x
[19:13] <tacomaster> wget works too
[19:13] <kristenbb> can someone please help me to install ubuntu ? I don't get why it's so difficult. :(
[19:13] <yeats> kristenbb: what's the problem?
[19:13] <kristenbb> yeats: the problem is that it doesn't start, it says "no such partition'.
[19:13] <tipox-[a]> does wordpress, require root user?
[19:13] <tacomaster> kristenbb: are you using a usb to install on a hard drive?
[19:14] <kristenbb> tacomaster: I'm using a cd to install on a hard drive.
[19:14] <DreamPCs> yeats I already have the binarties I don't need to wget them. tacomaster thanks for reminding me about lynx. I keep forgetting about that browser.
[19:14] <opcode1> I created a usb key from the ubuntu 13.04 amd64 desktop. It works on another PC but not on this one... (it does, but only after hacking into my HD grub) any idea what could cause that? is it a problem from my computer? the pb is it can't seem to boot from that key
[19:14] <tacomaster> kristenbb: where is the install failing?
[19:14] <kristenbb> tacomaster: when I try to use it
[19:15] <tacomaster> kristenbb: you need to have alittle more detail than that what does the screen look like when it fails or what is it asking you to input?
[19:16] <Avernus> Is there a quick, easy way to check if the filesystem is read-only or read/write?
[19:16] <tacomaster> ls -l
[19:16] <opcode1> mount
[19:16] <kristenbb> tacomaster: sorry, I mean that the installation is successful, it's just that when I reboot my computer without the cd, it fails to boot into ubuntu. Instead, the screen is black and white letters say: "error: no such partition. grub rescue>"
[19:16] <yeats> DreamPCs: cool - then it sounds like you're all set - I would boot up, Ctrl-Alt-F1(through 6), sudo stop lightdm, run the installer, reboot
[19:17] <Avernus> thanks opcode1
[19:18] <tacomaster> kristenbb: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[19:18] <kristenbb> tacomaster: I tried both command line and graphic mode.
[19:19] <opcode1> exit
[19:19] <tacomaster> kristenbb: what was the command you used to try to repair grub?
[19:19] <cuddylier> Does anyone know how to allow users to access /proc/[process id]/stat? The user who is trying to access it owns the directory, e.g. /proc/2554/stat, the user mc85 might own it if it's their process. At the moment, they are just denied access, yet another machine with ubuntu I have is fine.
[19:19] <Cruzer506> Anybody else who is going crazy like me and wants to Go back by backspace on Chromium :@
[19:19] <kristenbb> tacomaster: hmmm, I don't really recall exactly, but I think it was something like grub-install /dev/sdb.
[19:20] <tacomaster> kristenbb:  are you sure that /dev/sdb points to your primary hdd?
[19:20] <kristenbb> tacomaster: yeah it was  sudo grub-install /dev/sdb. And the error is: Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting.
[19:21] <DreamPCs> kristenbb do you have any other Operating Systems installed?
[19:21] <kristenbb> tacomaster: well I have only 2 drives, one only contains data, and one only contains the ubuntu I just installed, this shouldn't be that difficult a setup.
[19:21] <kristenbb> DreamPCs: no
[19:22] <tacomaster> kristenbb: run the command "sudo fdisk -l"
[19:22] <DreamPCs> hda is the first detected by Linux which normally indicated its the one the BIOS is set to boot from.
[19:22] <DreamPCs> Typically the first hard drive is dev/sda
[19:23] <tacomaster> DreamPCs: very true
[19:23] <DreamPCs> I would try installed grub to sda and see if that fixes the issue.
[19:23] <kristenbb> tacomaster: what am I looking for ? it's quite verbose.
[19:23] <tacomaster> what are all the base ones forget the numbers following but your looking for /dev/sda or /dev/whatever
[19:24] <DreamPCs> rebooting, brb
[19:24] <kristenbb> tacomaster: well there's /dev/sda1               1<PHONE_NUMBER><PHONE_NUMBER>+  ee  GPT and  /dev/sdb1               1   468062127   234401063+  ee  GPT
[19:24] <[OS]Cazazo> sorry guys what would be a good wysiwyg html editor for Ubuntu???
[19:25] <tacomaster> kristenbb: i can almost bet that you need to run the grub-install for /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb
[19:25] <deadweasel> [OS]Cazazo: use BlueGriffon
[19:25] <deadweasel> but there are many
[19:26] <kristenbb> tacomaster: okay, let me try that. But as I said, ubuntu is on sdb, that I am sure of.
[19:26] <deadweasel> that's the first one that didn't crash on me in ubuntu 12.04
[19:26] <iceroot> [OS]Cazazo: i like kompozer
[19:26] <deadweasel> pretty stable
[19:26] <tacomaster> kristenbb: it is not where the partition is its the first harddrive that the bios see's
[19:26] <kristenbb> tacomaster: ok,  sudo grub-install /dev/sda gives Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting.
[19:26] <starbuck> hi guys, i want to upgrade my 4 years old laptop with a quick ssd, my question is: do i have to take of something when using the ssd, or will work everything like i'm used to it with a normal "old"hdd? will partitioning be available?
[19:27] <yeats> [OS]Cazazo: or bluefish
[19:27] <tacomaster> kristenbb: one second
[19:27] <iceroot> starbuck: there is no difference for the software if using an ssd or a normal hdd, you can do the same thing
[19:27] <[OS]Cazazo> I guess blue fish isn't wysiwyg
[19:27] <iceroot> starbuck: if that was your question

[19:29] <[OS]Cazazo> not really...
[19:29] <deadweasel> [OS]Cazazo: I don't recall

[19:30] <[OS]Cazazo> I'll have a look thanks guys..
[19:31] <echoe> i don't know of any good wysiwyg editors for linux and tried out a few. you may find one that works for you

[19:32] <kyew2> [OS]Cazazo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML_editors
[19:32] <tacomaster> kristenbb:  ok try this since your ubuntu is on /dev/sdb and your first hdd is /dev/sda. "sudo mkdir /media/mount" "sudo mount /dev/sdb* /media/mount" (*is for the partition number) "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/mount /dev/sda" be sure to read all to know were to replace your date with what i put to make since
[19:34] <tacomaster> kristenbb: if this doesn't work then it is past my knowledge in boot loaders
[19:36] <kristenbb> tacomaster: so, the output I receive is: /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible./usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
[19:37] <tacomaster> kristenbb: i am out of ideas to try i am sorry i don't really have the need for more than one hard drive so i have never used a second.
[19:38] <moses> when i attach a USB device where will it come up in ubuntu?
[19:38] <kristenbb> tacomaster: well thanks for your help thus far
[19:38] <moses> what irectory?
[19:38] <kristenbb> can someone else please help me to install ubuntu please ?
[19:38] <yeats> kristenbb: this is a fresh install, right?
[19:39] <kristenbb> yeats: yes
[19:39] <schultza> is there a way to downgrade the php package i have installed to 5.3.3 rather than 5.4.4 i have a critical program (to business needs) that needs to work and they currently have a bug based on 5.4.4
[19:39] <yeats> you could attempt to start over and people here can guide you through the partitioning and grub steps?
[19:39] <yeats> kristenbb: ^^
[19:40] <Geet> hi, i recently messed up something and lost my partition table. then using some testdisk or something i got it back up. but any new ubuntu setup does not show this partition table. how do i fix this?
[19:40] <kristenbb> yeats: yes I guess, it's only like the 4th or 5th time I'm trying to do that...
[19:40] <genii-around> moses: If you do: dmesg | tail       after you plug the usb device in, it will usually say in there what the device is. Typically if it's a hard drive the designation will be something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc   ... if it's a usb modem of some kind, typically /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1   and so on
[19:40] <miclen> hi guys
[19:40] <tacomaster> Geet: have you tried to just mount manually?
[19:40] <moses> <3
[19:41] <somnambulant> how would I echo (or any with any other tool) a string to the next to last line of a file?
[19:41] <Geet> tacomaster, no. how do i do that?
[19:41] <kristenbb> yeats: but can I not first purge the boot loaders of the previous installations ? I have EFI settings, gpt settings, and so forth, that I don't need and that mess up everything.
[19:41] <BillyZane2> hi
[19:41] <BillyZane2> for some odd reason, i can't seem to get X11 forwarding to work
[19:42] <yeats> kristenbb: to be honest, I've not had to deal with EFI, so I'm unsure on how to answer that question
[19:42] <BillyZane2> i checked sshd_config and ssh_config, X11forwarding is enabled, as well as Xauth
[19:42] <kristenbb> yeats: ok so let me try once more... i'll get back here soon.
[19:42] <tacomaster> Geet: run the command "sudo fdisk -l" find the partition and "sudo mount /dev/* /media/"
[19:42] <yeats> BillyZane2: how are you connecting?
[19:42] <BillyZane2> i'm using PuTTy, i have enabled X11 forwarding in my settings
[19:42] <pcarson> hey
[19:43] <BillyZane2> yeats: i am connecting from my school computer to my home computer
[19:43] <Geet> tacomaster, will this fix the table not showing up?
[19:43] <moses> it didnt work :(
[19:43] <yeats> BillyZane2: ah - so you're on Windows?
[19:43] <BillyZane2> yeats: that's right
[19:44] <moses> no dir came up
[19:44] <BillyZane2> yeats: however, there is a linux on a few computers, and i've tried using them as well
[19:44] <tacomaster> Geet: no it will just get you to your data with out having to jack with it
[19:45] <yeats> BillyZane2: not sure what needs to be done on Windows for X forwarding to work - you might need to try ##windows for that
[19:45] <BillyZane2> ok
[19:45] <BillyZane2> thanks
[19:45] <yeats> BillyZane2: from a Linux box with a GUI, should be as simple as 'ssh -X user@host'

[19:46] <Geet> tacomaster, i have windows 7 so i can access my data alright. I want to replace mint with gnome ubuntu. but the setup does not show the partitions. the whole 640gb harddisk is shown as a single unit.
[19:46] <yeats> prophit: you don't see them in the top bar?
[19:46] <prophit> yeats: just discovered the top bar.. thanks
[19:46] <kristenbb1> yeats: ok so here I am again, doing the installation one more time. What do you want me to do ?
[19:46] <zilla> would it benefit me to install a new MBR on my flash drive?
[19:46] <zilla> will try anything
[19:46] <tacomaster> Geet: ok so you want to resize the partitons?
[19:47] <genii-around> BillyZane2: Does:  grep nolisten /etc/X11/xinit       produce a result?
[19:47] <tacomaster> Geet: if you get gparted you can make the full partitons and shrink it down and make a new partition to put linux on
[19:47] <Geet> tacomaster, no. only want to select the already existing 20gb ext4 partition for installation. but no list is shown.
[19:48] <Geet> tacomaster, i have a ext4 partition and just want to install ubuntu on it. but it is not visible in the list.

[19:48] <zilla> sandisk 4gb USB flash drive formatted W95 fat32 returns "MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM" on ubuntu 13,12,11
[19:49] <zilla> anything to try?
[19:49] <echoe> zilla, what kind? cruzer?
[19:49] <zilla> echoe: yea
[19:49] <yeats> kristenbb1: well, this is your installation that's not working, so what I want really isn't the issue, but I would suggest sharing how you're doing the partitioning setup, possibly using screenshots or a pastebin
[19:49] <echoe> weird, i have one and it is recognized without any issues
[19:49] <zilla> echoe: i have gotten other USB flash keys/drives to work in the past with live boot
[19:50] <echoe> might want to try reformatting and/or using a different usb port
[19:50] <zilla> hrmm
[19:50] <zilla> reformatting to what?
[19:50] <zilla> it is current W95 fat32
[19:50] <kristenbb> yeats: well should I use the default installation process, or go to the advanced mode ? I've never been there and wouldn't know what to do...
[19:51] <yeats> kristenbb: the default should be fine
[19:51] <kristenbb> yeats: that's what I tried a few times already
[19:51] <kristenbb> yeats: If I redo exactly the same steps as before, I except I'll end up with the same issue...
[19:52] <yeats> kristenbb: okay - well if you've given up on it, I guess there's no point in my helping you, right?
[19:53] <kristenbb> yeats: no I mean you've asked me to reinstall everything and tell you step by step what's happening, but in the end you just want me to do the default options? This I was able to do on my own, and it didn't work.
[19:53] <yeats> kristenbb: I'm not sure I can help here - I'm sorry
[19:54] <kristenbb> it's okay, thanks for your help.;
[19:54] <kristenbb> Can someone please guide me through the installation process ? I've been trying 5 times now, and I was not able to start ubuntu 13.04 once.
[19:55] <zilla> hi
[19:55] <zilla> is it possible to format a usb drive with ONLY one partition?
[19:55] <zilla> i think it's messing up my live usb
[19:56] <zilla> bah
[19:56] <zilla> where are all the smart people -.-
[19:56] <tacomaster> kristenbb: i found this and pretty sure this is the answer to your problem
[19:56] <MonkeyDust> zilla  use gparted, select the usb stick (right, up) and delete all

[19:56] <tijs> Anyone have experience with vrjuggler?
[19:57] <zilla> i cant install gparted
[19:57] <MonkeyDust> zilla  how so?
[19:57] <zilla> im on 10.10 unsupported and dist-upgrade fails

[19:57] <zilla> just trying to get this usb bootable
[19:58] <kristenbb> tacomaster: so wait what to do from here ? I'm trying to install ubuntu once again.  Should I abort and go back to the live cd ?
[19:58] <MonkeyDust> zilla  unetbootin lets you format a usb stick
[19:58] <tacomaster> kristenbb: oooo sorry didnt know you were reinstalling after you have it installed if you still have the issue use that site
[19:59] <zilla> MonkeyDust: thanks for your help but i tried that after 'startup disc creator' failed
[19:59] <kristenbb> tacomaster: well I'm just trying to follow the instructions I am given here, I honestly have no clue what i'm doing, I just want to install ubuntu.
[19:59] <zilla> ill try the other usb port
[19:59] <tacomaster> kristenbb: on that website i linked?
[19:59] <kristenbb> tacomaster: would you like me to continue with the process or abort and go back to the live cd ?
[20:00] <tacomaster> kristenbb: if you have already started re-installing that finish that
[20:01] <kristenbb> tacomaster: the installation has not started yet, it's asking me to choose whether to reinstall ubuntu 13.04, install another 13.04 alongside 13.04, erase and reinstall, or do "something else".
[20:01] <kristenbb> tacomaster: or alternatively, just restart to the live cd.
[20:01] <tacomaster> kristenbb: then go back to livecd mode
[20:01] <kristenbb> ok
[20:02] <simpleirc> hi
[20:04] <tacomaster> kristenbb: this one seems to be a bit more update and easier to follow http://www.noobslab.com/2011/07/install-grub-2-on-ubuntu-from-live-cd.html
[20:05] <kristenbb> tacomaster: ok I'm back to the live cd. I'll try the commands from the new link.
[20:06] <tacomaster> kristenbb: just remeber to not follow them to a t just remeber that the drive names change

[20:15] <tacomaster> kristenbb: ok if it all ended with no error then reboot and if you dont see grub then you put grub on the wrong partition you just need to switch the one you installed grub to but you have the basics to do it now
[20:15] <tacomaster> kristenbb: not partition sorry wrong hard drive
[20:15] <tacomaster> kristenbb: make since?
[20:16] <kristenbb> tacomaster: so I rebooted, and I still get the same error message. "no such partition".
[20:16] <ubuntu-gnome> tacomaster, i asked you about the partition problem. here is a screenshot of the setup screen. this is the problem i am having. http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=4cebc6a
[20:17] <tacomaster> kristenbb: hmmm give me a few more mins to think sorry
[20:18] <ubuntu-gnome> tacomaster, and this is the nautilus screenshot. so why is the setup not showing these partitions. http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=0d0a05c

[20:20] <bekks> arcripex: Reinstall 12.04
[20:20] <gordonjcp> arcripex: you can try editing /etc/apt/sources.list to point to 12.04 and update, but that will most likely break stuff
[20:20] <bekks> OliverJAsh: A terminal has no themes. :)
[20:20] <gordonjcp> arcripex: give it a shot, you're going to be reinstalling *anyway*

[20:25] <tacomaster> kristenbb: what other os's do you have on the machine?
[20:25] <kristenbb> tacomaster: none
[20:26] <woutersimons> ubuntu-gnome
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  new table, create /home, swap end /
[20:26] <woutersimons> if you are installing .. create a partition
[20:26] <kristenbb> tacomaster: however I tried various unsuccessful attempts, so I don't know what's the current state of the boot loaders, partition tables and such...
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  new table, create /home, swap and /
[20:27] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, but i already have ext4 partition and want to install it to that partition. that is not being shown at this screen
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  and you have that on sda ? how many disks do you have?
[20:27] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, this are my partitions shown correctly in nautilus: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=0d0a05c
[20:28] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, only one hard disk
[20:28] <kristenbb> tacomaster: my setup is quite simple, I have a /dev/sda hard drive which contain 3 partitions, all of which are data, and a /dev/sdb that I would like to install ubuntu into.
[20:29] <kristenbb> yet I'm not able to install ubuntu successfully :(. The error I get is always: error: no such partition.
[20:29] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  what's the output of sudo fdisk -l ? paste it here and give us the url   http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[20:30] <echoe> ... does ubuntu use .deb files instead of rpm's. it does doesn't it
[20:30]  * echoe facepalms

[20:30] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5691623/
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> echoe  ubuntu uses .deb
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  now thàt looks like a mess ;-)
[20:31] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, :( recoverable i hope?
[20:31] <arcripex> ok anyway of installing openvpn network manager offline as in downloading the tar.gz file and installing it manually
[20:32] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  normally i'd say: backup, delete all partitions and start over...
[20:33] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  i'd like to see the output of blkid    (use pastebin)
[20:33] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, at present eveythings working fine but. the grub loader shows mint and windows7 at boot screen. and then i am able to use both of them. so is there any i can fix this without starting all over .
[20:34] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust,
[20:34] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5691634/
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  if you can use both, what is your issue exactly?
[20:35] <ubuntu-gnome> now i want to remove mint and install ubuntu
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> ah
[20:35] <ubuntu-gnome> :D
[20:37] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  backup mint, boot a live cd or usb, use gparted, delete the mint partition, install ubuntu on that partition
[20:37] <MonkeyDust> make sure you don't delete the wrong parition
[20:38] <ubuntu-gnome> the gparted thing shows a unallocated space of 600gb ie my whole hard disk. it is not showing any partitions.
[20:38] <MonkeyDust> yes, you said that, it's odd
[20:39] <Pechona> Hola<....
[20:40] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  the "empty" screenshot, is that in a live session?
[20:40] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, yes
[20:41] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  and which ubuntu version is it?
[20:42] <robottinosino> how can i temporarily disable the wifi scanning? network manager?
[20:42] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, 13.04 ubuntu gnome
[20:42] <MonkeyDust> gnome-remix?
[20:43] <ubuntu-gnome> no the official ubuntu gnome
[20:44] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  if you click revert, what happens? if it asks to confirm, don't
[20:46] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, nothing happened
[20:46] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-gnome  almost 11pm on this side of the planet, i'm off, hope you make it
[20:47] <ubuntu-gnome> MonkeyDust, thanks for the help..

[20:49] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know what is exactly dav:// ?
[20:49] <dalfry> Hello. Need help with ipv6 config on a 12.04 server install (fully updated)
[20:49] <mojtaba> *davs
[20:49] <dalfry> I cannot get eth0 to configure ipv6. eth1 and eth2 on this machine automatically configure their IP addresses
[20:49] <ubuntu-gnome> DJones, ok i will try. but i dont think this is ubuntu gnome specific. i doubt any setup will give the same problem.
[20:50] <dalfry> the ipv6 line does not even show up for eth0
[20:50] <DJones> ubuntu-gnome: I only suggested it in case there was a difference in the installer that they know something about
[20:51] <woutersimons> dalfry .. what is the rest of the network .. are eth1 &2 on the same network as eth0
[20:51] <dalfry> no. different networks
[20:51] <dalfry> eth0 is my wan link
[20:51] <dalfry> eth1 and 2 are internal networks
[20:51] <woutersimons> are other machines on the eth0 network properly getting their ipv6 adress ??
[20:52] <dalfry> This comes up empty for eth0 - ip -6 addr show eth0
[20:52] <dalfry> but shows the auto configured IPs for other interfaces
[20:53] <woutersimons> where are you getting your ipv6 adresses ??
[20:53] <dalfry> those are all auto configured IPs
[20:53] <woutersimons> dirrectly from provider or do you have a tunnel set up ??
[20:54] <dalfry> internal network is all auto configured. for the wan link (eth0), I need the interface to first have an auto configured IP so that the v6-dhcp client can then fetch a v6 address
[20:54] <dalfry> that first step is now working for eth0
