[14:51] <ActionParsnip> olsonea: well...later = better in their eyes. Not always needed
[14:51] <olsonea> though i thought i could trust the manufacturer.
[14:51] <vfw> olsonea: ppas are not all bad, just once in a while you have a problem.

[14:53] <Budd> Given a NetworkManager with IPv4 disabled, and  IPv6 set to "address only", NM needlessly runs dhclient (despite getting a RADV address). How do I prevent this?
[14:53] <vfw> olsonea: (that may be *your* issue, for all I know, I'm late to the conversation)
[14:54] <vfw> Budd: Use IPv4?
[14:55] <Budd> vfw: The network is IPv6-only.
[14:55] <olsonea> vfw: well, i was stable for the longest time... months
[14:55] <noussommesgenial> cool
[14:55] <vfw> olsonea: and then ________________?
[14:55] <olsonea> i think there were some kernel updates that were installed, and also an update from nvidia
[14:55] <vfw> Budd: Are you fully updated?
[14:55] <kostkon> olsonea, you mean the official vb repo, not ppa
[14:56] <Budd> vfw: possibly not I'll try that.
[14:56] <olsonea> kostkon: no, the 'official' repo is several releases old
[14:57] <olsonea> i needed the latest because oracle only offered the extensions for the more current versions
[14:57] <vfw> olsonea: Are you talking about nvidia drivers (being old)?
[14:58] <kostkon> olsonea, 4.3.6-91406~Ubuntu~precise 0  500 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ precise/contrib i386 Packages
[14:58] <kostkon> olsonea, latest version
[14:58] <vfw> olsonea: Oh, you are talking about virtual box... oK.
[14:58] <olsonea> yeah, kostkon had asked me about it
[14:59] <olsonea> kostkon: at the time i had to add the ppa, current version from oracle was 4.3.x, the repo was only 4.2
[15:00] <kostkon> olsonea, you need to remove virtulbox-4.2 and install virtulbox-4.3
[15:00] <vfw> kostkon: What is better about 4.3?
[15:00] <olsonea> kostkon: i'm now, running the current version
[15:01] <kostkon> vfw, no idea
[15:01] <olsonea> vfw: in my situation, i needed to get 4.3 to install the extension pack that allowed me to access usb devices on the guest
[15:01] <vfw> O
[15:02] <SrRaven> So I bought an external HD (USB 3.0) just for Linux so I can use Linux on PC's where I cant install it directly.
[15:02] <olsonea> there was no extension pack for the older 4.2 version that was in the repo, and no extension pack in the repo
[15:02] <SrRaven> Can I "prepare" it in any way or do I have to have the laptop per se first?
[15:02] <vfw> SrRaven: Just install to it.
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> SrRaven: are you wanting to use it in Windows systems as well as Linux?
[15:02] <SrRaven> no, Linux only
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> SrRaven: then you can format it in Ubuntu using Gparted

[15:25] <StevenXL> How can I fix this?

[15:32] <Budd> I'm actually quite comfortable with the 'ip' and 'iw' utils, but it's nice to have something automated most of the time.
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Budd: wifi-radar and wicd are tools I can name quickly
[15:34] <Budd> thanks - I'll look them up. I don't like NetworkManager much.
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Budd: me neither, mind you my ubuntu boxes are all on wired networks :)
[15:36] <kubanc> Hellow! MY audio HDMI stops wotking after a period of time. But if i press something an a keyboard the sounds starts working again... Any idea?
[15:41] <rustuptwist> Does anyone know offhand which ubuntu distro will fit onto a 700mb CD disk. I want to install ubuntu on my son's HP laptop which is dying a slow windows death.
[15:41] <ikonia> rustuptwist: none
[15:41] <ikonia> rustuptwist: and that should not be your deciding factor
[15:42] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  I agree, its just that I am limited right now, and i'd like to get him back up and running since his win7 seems to have bit the dust
[15:42] <ikonia> "bit the dust"
[15:42] <Budd> rustuptwist: Assuming the laptop can get netowrk access, you only need to install a bare-bones system from CD. It can add everything else from the net.
[15:42] <ikonia> rustuptwist: I suspect you'd be better trying to fix his windows install than make a poor linux choice due to lack of thought
[15:43] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  ouch
[15:43] <rustuptwist> i thought this was a chat 'room' not an 'alley' :)
[15:43] <Budd> rustuptwist: or do you need  something that will run without a hard drive?  A little slow, but works fine.
[15:43] <ikonia> rustuptwist: it is a chat room
[15:44] <Budd> rustuptwist: It doesn'
[15:44] <ikonia> rustuptwist: do you want honest advice or lies ?
[15:44] <lingonberry> hi people. I'm on my mom's computer (she has 10.04 running which is really stable on her old hardware) and she did an update recently that she was putting off for a while, and presto-one speaker stopped working. can't figure out why
[15:44] <Budd> rustuptwist: It doesn't take all kinds, but you get them anyway :)
[15:44] <caco> msg Enjoy|Dvd-Rip|04 xdcc send #19
[15:44] <lingonberry> I plugged in an mp3 player, and the problem is with Ubuntu. Furthermore, alsamixer shows everything is balanced and the right sources are selected.
[15:44] <lingonberry> I'm convinced it's something with an alsa update
[15:45] <rustuptwist> Budd:  it is an older HP I am not convinced it will boot via USB. I dabbled with Ubuntu a few years back and had some issues with laptops. I am just looking to take advantage of this opportunity to have my son take a look at Ubuntu
[15:46] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  honest (informed) advice - that doesnt hurt :)
[15:46] <Budd> rustuptwist: Another factor is that most install systems (i think includng ubuntu) can shrink an existing Windows partition to make room for dual-boot - assuming you want to keep Windows also.
[15:47] <ikonia> rustuptwist: whats actually "wrong" with his current windows install ?
[15:47] <xangua> rustuptwist: lubuntu still fits on a CD I believe, is there a problem with using DVD's¿
[15:48] <Budd> OpenWRT is a nice compact distribution :)
[15:48] <ikonia> this should not be the decision process used for installing linux
[15:49] <olsonea> lingonberry: run 'speaker-test -c 2'
[15:49] <rustuptwist> ikonia: and Budd firstly im not in the usa, stuff, genuine stuff is hard  to get here, I use a Mac but my children have PC's, it is increasingly difficult to deal with PCs here, my employer/school doesnt have/use anti-virus sware so Im trying to move in another direction, i could go on...
[15:49] <lingonberry> olsonea, what should I be looking for?
[15:50] <olsonea> it should test the left and right audio channels
[15:50] <olsonea> you should be listening for sound from the right/left speakers alternately
[15:50] <rustuptwist> xangua:  just conservation wise. I prefer not to use a 4gb DVD disc for a 750mb iso, that's all
[15:51] <ikonia> rustuptwist: sorry, I believe your approach to this is wrong and your decision process is wrong.
[15:52] <lingonberry> why are they suddenly working?
[15:52] <vfw> lingonberry: It is more than likely just a coincidence
[15:52] <lingonberry> wtf?
[15:52] <lingonberry> olsonea, they both work now
[15:52] <olsonea> lingonberry: glad to hear it!
[15:52] <vfw> lingonberry: Wireing or loose jack connection
[15:52] <lingonberry> what the hell?
[15:52] <lingonberry> thought i checked everything, oh well
[15:53] <lingonberry> thanks for showing me the test anyway olsonea
[15:53] <lingonberry> thanks vfw
[15:53] <olsonea> you did say that you plugged the speakers into an mp3 player. the connection to the computer was probably loose
[15:53] <olsonea> sweet, i helped somebody
[15:54] <vfw> olsonea: That's what it's all about :)

[15:55] <iateadonut> wondering how i might install xvidcap

[15:55] <iateadonut> popey, what was removed?  xvidcap?

[15:55] <derp> 44guzz2
[15:55] <popey> iateadonut: it's unmaintained upstream and largely broken
[15:55] <vfw> olsonea: (the command play, if you have sox installed)
[15:56] <iateadonut> what does one use instead?
[15:56] <popey> kazam, vokoscreen
[15:56] <popey> ffmpeg
[15:56] <yctn> ubottu do you have a link from that ?
[15:56] <boxmein> Whatever could be a reason why chromium on ubunter sucks at playing YouTube videos? Flash is up to date, system is up to date (except Ubuntu, it's 13.04), and it plays on embedded mode but not on tab pages
[15:56] <boxmein> As in, it does the staticky thing, then flashes and then works
[15:57] <boxmein> Similar to being reloading the video player
[15:57] <iateadonut> goodness, xvidcap was so easy to use
[15:57] <iateadonut> oh well.
[15:57] <iateadonut> no chance installing it on 13.04?
[15:58] <popey> iateadonut: you can try, no guarantees it will work.
[15:58] <popey> the others are better IMO
[15:58] <popey> having used them all
[16:03] <iateadonut> ok, thanks.  gtk-recordmydesktop seems to work well.
[16:04] <vfw> boxmein: I think chromium has it's own flash player
[16:04] <boxmein> vfw: which is installed and up to date
[16:05] <boxmein> aka, of course, lol
[16:05] <vfw> boxmein: ... not to say that is the issue.  May be just that it doesn't work well with your particular set of devices.
[16:05] <boxmein> well, it does time to time
[16:06] <boxmein> my device seems fairly standard aside from having nvidia's magical optimus dual graphics card setup
[16:06] <vfw> boxmein: What exactly is not working well?
[16:06] <boxmein> vfw: playing select videos (aka most of them) on youtube's home page displays a "An error occurred." message
[16:07] <boxmein> And rarely it occurs so that it, after the error message, reloads something and then works
[16:07] <boxmein> it reloads something since the page flashes
[16:07] <vfw> boxmein: That may only be because it is not seeing the standard adobe flash player.
[16:07] <vfw> boxmein: (Because cromium doesn't use it.)
[16:08] <boxmein> why would it even care about the standard adobe flash player?
[16:08] <boxmein> since like
[16:08] <boxmein> "hey there's a flash implementation LET'S USE IT"
[16:08] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  you may be right
[16:09] <vfw> boxmein: You'd have to ask the folks at youtube or adobe, (it's not a Ubuntu issue, so....)
[16:09] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  but I think what is important is that I am here seeking advice, assistance, to make do the best within the circumstances that I am surrounded by
[16:09] <ikonia> rustuptwist: couldn't disagree less,
[16:09] <ikonia> rustuptwist: I'll leave you to it though
[16:10] <vfw> boxmein: flashplayer is just a mess
[16:10] <rustuptwist> ikonia: I have not heard your suggestion, interestingly enough.
[16:11] <ikonia> rustuptwist: you have, unless windows has failed, fix your windows install to buy you time to do this properly
[16:11] <ikonia> a cd image size should not dictate your migration approach, I've made that view point clear, you disagree so bcarry on with luck
[16:12] <rustuptwist> ikonia: I dont see where I said to you I disagree or i said you were wrong
[16:13] <ikonia> rustuptwist: no, but you said you had not seen my recommendation, and you have, I've already given it you
[16:14] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  true because I dont recall explaining my situation in depth/completely , therefore wasnt sure how a complete recommendation could be made
[16:14] <rustuptwist> brb...
[16:16] <iateadonut> Thanks, popey

[16:21] <CorySimmons> Are all ubuntu packages affixed with that?
[16:22] <hitsujiTMO> CorySimmons: not sure about the trailing 1, but the intial 1 there means its the first release of that [ackage
[16:22] <Pici> CorySimmons: It represents the debian and ubuntu package versions.  iirc. -2ubuntu1 would be the 2nd debian build, but the first Ubuntu build of the package for that particular version.

[16:38] <vfw> bit9: ... and I don't know what it is you are trying to do either...
[16:38] <hitsujiTMO> Sirisian|Work: why not run the cron job as root and use su - USER ?
[16:39] <hitsujiTMO> Sirisian|Work: here would be good if you want someone to suggest a better way of doing it. Seems like you're going about the task the wrong way
[16:39] <Sirisian|Work> hitsujiTMO, one moment. That might work. Would tha allow any command to run right?
[16:39] <vfw> bit9: (In other words, you need to give more specific information about what it is you are doing, or wanting to do.)
[16:39] <bit9> vfw: i backed up /home/me from old machine, reinstalled with encrypted new setup, and want to restore /home/me onto new machine, but i don't have a BIT config file from old machine

[16:39] <bit9> so i have ubuntu great but all my files are in BIT on /media/external
[16:39] <hitsujiTMO> Sirisian|Work: can you explain what the end goal is?
[16:40] <vfw> bit9: "BIT"?  Is that user name?
[16:40] <jjmalina> is it possible to have a user's cron run under UTC vs the local time?
[16:40] <bit9> BIT config = /root/.config/backintime/config, a text file with parameters for BIT, i can pastebin if you like
[16:40] <Sirisian|Work> hitsujiTMO, Update the user's timezone. I have to run "dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata" from the user's session to update the time in the upper right.
[16:41] <rustuptwist> ikonia:  ok back. the gist of what I was saying is that even if/when i get his HP working back on win7 I still want to get him to consider and/or put Ubuntu on his HP cause where i am windows is not really a long term viable option. So I have now in front of me dvd's and we are rectifying the win7 on the HP(pavilliondv2000) When its up and running what is your recomnedation for it re: ubuntu?
[16:41] <hitsujiTMO> Sirisian|Work: that could be just run as a cronjob on root, but why does it need to be run in the first place? you should only have to set the tzdata once
[16:42] <vfw> bit9: Someone that has experienc with backintime may be able to help you, I have not used it and have no experince with it.  All I've done is to copy all files from the /home/user-name/ to a external drive and then copy them back.
[16:42] <bit9> vfw: BIT = backintime-gnome package
[16:43] <bit9> vfw: define "copy" (rsync, cp, etc.?), and after you recopied back did you not have permissions trouble (executables becoming read/write only, etc.)?
[16:44] <bit9> vfw: i have tried deja-dup and v22.0 keeps failing to backup properly and "restore" deja-dup does not give me all my files back
[16:44] <Sirisian|Work> hitsujiTMO, Well when the command it run in the root cronjob the command doesn't update the timezone for the user. Even if you restart. It's very peculiar. If I run it from the command line it works.
[16:44] <vfw> bit9: From what I'm reading, I see that backintime is an application to restore the whole system back to the state it was before, (not just the personal files).
[16:44] <Sirisian|Work> is*
[16:44] <bit9> vfw: so i tried sudo cp -p but ran into permissions problems, now i'm on "back in time" and can't see the snapshots
[16:44] <vfw> bit9: .... but if you see where the files are, just copy them and that should be that.
[16:45] <bit9> vfw: ok, let's see if BIT's invocation of rsync will do the trick! thanks!
[16:45] <hitsujiTMO> Sirisian|Work: tzdata is a system wide setting. not a user setting, hence why you need sudo. seems like something else is going wrong.

[16:52] <nannes> !info ia32-libs
[16:52] <donny_> Hello all! I have a problem :( Using Ubuntu 12.04, I went to Settings and then to Drivers and updated my NVIDIA driver from 304.88 to 319.32 and now I get no X. Here is an interesting message from the kernel: http://codebad.com/~hdon/dmesg.txt
[16:52] <glitsj16> FireStorms: http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/download.html offers a .deb it seems
[16:53] <donny_> Could anyone tell me how to fix the problem or undo the driver update without X
[16:53] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: you need to remove 304
[16:54] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: will module-assistant remove modules? or should i just remove the .ko ?
[16:54] <donny_> or should i blacklist it?
[16:55] <Anton__> Hi! I need help with making sure that my default internet device uses my IP and gateway in order to connect to my VPN. Img of route + network interfaces: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/827/1a9r.png     Please help ASAP :-)
[16:55] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: ok, first, lets see whats installed: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[16:56] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: http://codebad.com/~hdon/paste0.txt as you suspected there are two nvidia driver packages installed
[16:56] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: can i just apt-get remove the two nvidia-*304 packages?
[16:57] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: also what gpu do you have?
[16:57] <Anton__> When I add my home IP and gateway to route and restart networking my home IP disappears - http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/827/1a9r.png
[16:57] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: geforce 9600 gt
[16:58] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-304 nvidia-current nvidia-settings-304
[16:58] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: alright, i will purge then...
[16:59] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: you may also need to regenerate the xorg.conf
[17:00] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: ah, good idea... it's been so long since i edited the X conf. before Xorg actually.

[17:00] <hitsujiTMO> !ot | yahbah
[17:01] <Anton__> someone help me please...
[17:02] <donny_> Anton__: what do you mean that your "home IP disappears?" (i can't see your image; problem on my end)
[17:04] <AmriUnix> hello guys
[17:04] <donny_> ok i'm rebooting. see you in a moment i hope hitsujiTMO
[17:05] <AmriUnix> hi i m looking for Ubuntu support !!! any
[17:05] <Anton__> donny_: when i use this command "ip ro add my_home_ip via my_gateway" it appears in route as a venet0 device in route but when i restart networking my gateway IP is there under my device but my home IP is changed to default
[17:05] <AmriUnix> or any one can help !!!
[17:05] <daftykins> AmriUnix: ask a question
[17:06] <hitsujiTMO> !ask | AmriUnix
[17:06] <AmriUnix> ok  about "Ubuntu for Android !!!" what is it ????
[17:07] <ramesh_> ??
[17:07] <ramesh_> how do i install linux in my samsung tablet
[17:07] <ramesh_> ??
[17:07] <AmriUnix> #daftykins "Ubuntu for Android" do you have any idea ???
[17:07] <k1l> !touch | AmriUnix
[17:08] <ramesh_> ok
[17:08] <daftykins> AmriUnix: an OS for an OS? not quite sure what you mean there
[17:08] <popey> AmriUnix: ubuntu for android hasn't been released yet
[17:08] <dab280zx> Hi all...I'm new to Ubuntu but have some experience with debian...I am interested in setting up iptables.  What is a good resource with examples...thanks
[17:08] <k1l> ramesh_: for ubuntu-touch support go to #ubuntu-touch, for ubuntu desktop on the tablet ask in #ubuntu-arm and for linux support ask in ##linux
[17:09] <ramesh_> and what abt downloading pyhton for linux
[17:09] <ramesh_> ??
[17:09] <AmriUnix> #daftykins ok  but i was think its a application for Ubuntu connect to android device so you can get notification up to your ubuntu os !!!
[17:09] <hitsujiTMO> AmriUnix: ubuntu for android is put on a back burner for ubuntu touch atm. There hasn't been any new info on it in a long while.
[17:11] <hitsujiTMO> AmriUnix: it's ubuntu in a vm on android. Beyond that there's not much info released, so there's nothing anyone here can tell you.
[17:11] <popey> AmriUnix: no, it's the other way around.
[17:11] <glitsj16> dab280zx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo might be a good start
[17:11] <popey> AmriUnix: it's Ubuntu Desktop running on top of an android device.
[17:12] <dab280zx> thanks glitsj16 I will look there
[17:12] <AmriUnix> #popey yep that's right !!!
[17:12] <popey> AmriUnix: but as I said, not released yet
[17:12] <AmriUnix>  #popey do you mean its os runing on android devices ????
[17:13] <donny_> Hello all
[17:13] <popey> AmriUnix: it's ubuntu desktop running on top of android. running both at the same time.
[17:14] <donny_> i am the one having the nvidia driver update problem. lightdm shows up now. but i cannot get to the desktop.
[17:14] <AmriUnix>  #popey can you check this link !! http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/ubuntu-for-android
[17:14] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: what happens when you try to log in?
[17:14] <ernesto_> hi! about partitioning... i need to resize a partition and add it to my EXT4 system bootable partition..
[17:15] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: it looks liek it's about to work, and then it just dumps me back into lightdm and plays the congas again
[17:15] <devarsh_revelado> hey guyz, i am using ACER aspire laptop, and trying to access a card reader in it but i cant see any pop-ups when i insert card in it.
[17:15] <devarsh_revelado> there is no output of fdisk -l
[17:15] <vfw> donny_: It appears you do not have the nvidia driver installed properly.
[17:15] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: can you try: ctrl + alt + f1 to get up tty1 and logn in
[17:16] <Steve_McQuack> Hey hitsujiTMO , could you tell me that dd command for copying GRUB (ubuntu.mbr) from my MBR again?
[17:16] <ernesto_> ..it is placed before the root partition and i'm afraid that joining them will result in a non bootable system (i'm using ubuntu 1204)
[17:16] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: guess: check /media directory. check mount. and run "dmesg" and look at the end of that to see if there are any messages concerning your disk.
[17:16] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: of course, that's how i've been talking to you :)
[17:16] <CorySimmons> Hey guys I'm reading the man page for apt-get and I'm  trying to get all the deps built for inkscape-0.47.0
[17:16] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: and using screen(1)
[17:16] <CorySimmons> I'm trying `sudo apt-get build-dep inkscape-0.47.0` but it keeps throwing errs that it can't find the package
[17:17] <donny_> CorySimmons: is this version of inkscape being installed via apt?
[17:17] <CorySimmons> The thing is, I have a local copy of the source
[17:17] <ernesto_> (any help on how-to partition with no risks?)
[17:17] <popey> AmriUnix: yes, I'm aware of it
[17:17] <hitsujiTMO> Steve_McQuack: dd if=/dev/mapper/<blargh> bs=448 count=1 > ~/ubuntu.mbr
[17:17] <CorySimmons> That I got from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/inkscape
[17:17] <Steve_McQuack> What is the count=1 argument for?
[17:17] <dab280zx> quit
[17:17] <donny_> CorySimmons: oh you want the build deps... sorry nvm i can't help, i've never had any luck with sources from apt and always end up downloading from the project's homepage or whatever
[17:17] <CorySimmons> heh
[17:17] <AmriUnix> popey : So ???
[17:18] <Steve_McQuack> I understand if and of are source and destination
[17:18] <CorySimmons> Can anyone else help? I'm trying to sudo apt-get build-deps on a local source
[17:18] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log the output of dmesg and ~/.xsession-errors
[17:18] <popey> AmriUnix: so, what is your question?
[17:18] <Steve_McQuack> I wasn't able to get that trick to work but I'd like to just try it with GRUB on my MBR
[17:18] <Steve_McQuack> to see if that even works first
[17:18] <hitsujiTMO> !eol | CorySimmons
[17:18] <Lucid_Lynx> Hi, what happens to my computer if i uninstall Java... ? i dont watch video sites.., what else do i have to expect ?
[17:18] <locojay> hi i m creating a deb file . it installs to /opt/<pkgname> . i have /opt/pkgname/etc/init.d/<upstartscript> . do i neet to have it init /etc/init.d/... to be able to set upstart.d ?
[17:19] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: http://codebad.com/~hdon/Xorg.0.log nothing pops out at me immediately..
[17:19] <Steve_McQuack> hitsujiTMO: What does count=1 do?  And why did you choose 448 byte size in particular?  Normally I see people using 512 bytes for this.
[17:19] <CorySimmons> !herokuUsesLucidSoStopTellingMeToUpgradeIt'sNotMyChoiceRightNow | hitsujiTMO
[17:20] <vfw> donny_: You might just un-install all the nvidia packages and download the proper driver from nvidia.com and do it manually.  (remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that you can do normal gui login for now)
[17:20] <donny_> Steve_McQuack: count is number of blocks
[17:20] <Steve_McQuack> blocks?
[17:20] <donny_> vfw: i'll give that a try
[17:20] <Steve_McQuack> dumb it down for me
[17:21] <CorySimmons> Can ubuntu build-deps on a package with local source? For instance, I have an old version of Inkscape here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/inkscape/inkscape_0.47.0.orig.tar.gz that I've untarred and I'm in the folder. I'm trying `sudo apt-get build-dep` from that folder
[17:21] <vfw> donny_: Be sure to turn off the X server before trying to do the nvidia install, (after you have the correct one downloaded).
[17:22] <hitsujiTMO> Steve_McQuack: if you omitted count it would keep copying until it ran out of space to write to or copyied the entire raid
[17:22] <Steve_McQuack> oh dear
[17:22] <Steve_McQuack> so count is just the number of copies to make?
[17:22] <vfw> donny_: sudo service gdm stop  #To turn off X server
[17:23] <hitsujiTMO> Steve_McQuack: no. its reads in blocks of 448 bytes. but will stop after it has counted 1 block copied
[17:23] <vfw> donny_: sudo service lightdm stop
[17:23] <donny_> vfw: i thought lightdm replaced gdm...
[17:23] <donny_> ah yes
[17:23] <vfw> donny_: Yea, you are correct.
[17:23] <vfw> sorry
[17:23] <Steve_McQuack> I don't understand what the point is then
[17:23] <hitsujiTMO> vfw: wait. DO NOT INSTALL FROM NVIDIA.COM
[17:23] <donny_> vfw: it did work i have X now
[17:23] <Steve_McQuack> why isn't byte size enough information?
[17:23] <donny_> and the unity desktop
[17:23] <hitsujiTMO> donny_:  wait. DO NOT INSTALL FROM NVIDIA.COM
[17:24] <vfw> HisaoNakai: Oh, why not?
[17:24] <Budd> How can I get NetworkManager to use RDNSS info? It seems to ignore it and (fail to) get DHCPv6 info instead via dhclient.
[17:24] <vfw> HisaoNakai: You have a better idea? (Let's have it..)
[17:24] <vfw> hitsujiTMO: Better idea ___________________?
[17:24] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: pastebin ~/.xsession-errors
[17:24] <donny_> k
[17:25] <hitsujiTMO> cfw: the driver is clearly not the issue, its an issue with a setting in the user profile
[17:25] <hitsujiTMO> vfw^
[17:25] <vfw> hitsujiTMO: Ok
[17:26] <devarsh_revelado> i checked /mnt and /media but has nothing mounted in.  but the output of dmesg shows something sda (sd) related logs which i am not able to  understand
[17:26] <vfw> donny_: bastebinit ~/.xsession-errors  #Show us URL
[17:26] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: http://codebad.com/~hdon/xsession-errors.txt and http://codebad.com/~hdon/xsession-errors.old.txt
[17:26] <donny_> vfw: ^
[17:27] <hitsujiTMO> Steve_McQuack: bs is block size not byte size. this is how much the app reads before writing. dd will go forever unless you set a count
[17:27] <imghost> donny_, pastebinit it again
[17:27] <vfw> donny_: You don't have permission to access /~hdon/xsession-errors.txt on this server.
[17:27] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: permission denied
[17:27] <donny_> oh lol
[17:27] <vfw> donny_: bastebinit ~/.xsession-errors  #Show us URL
[17:28] <donny_> fwiw i think everything is working now
[17:28] <donny_> vfw: hitsujiTMO: set perms correctly this time
[17:28] <donny_> in any case, glxinfo looks like it finds everything i want, and my opengl applications seem to work, and unity desktop seems clunky and awkward as ever
[17:29] <donny_> do i need to do anything else?
[17:29] <imghost> donny_, can you summarise your problem once again :)
[17:29] <vfw> donny_: Yea, install xubuntu-desktop  ;)
[17:29] <imghost> hitsujiTMO, whatsup?
[17:29] <donny_> imghost: well when i updated my nvidia driver using some fancy Ubuntu GUI that i found by clicking "Drivers" in "Settings," i lost X. then hitsujiTMO advised me which packages to remove to get rid of the old driver.
[17:29] <devarsh_revelado> I restarted after i installed 1 alternet SD card driver on ubuntu forum. still the issue persist and SD card is not getting detected. (SD card is working fine on the other laptop)
[17:29] <kemuffkamelen> How do i get rid of the black borders when i use uvesafb?
[17:30] <donny_> imghost: and then vfw said to remove my Xorg.conf and that got me past lightdm not actually getting me into my desktop environment
[17:30] <donny_> vfw: what does that package do?
[17:30] <imghost> donny_, did you reconfigure your lightdm?
[17:30] <donny_> imghost: no i don't know much about lightdm
[17:30] <donny_> but it seems to be working now
[17:30] <imghost> ok
[17:30] <vfw> donny_: Installs xfce (you complained that Unity was as "clunky as ever"_
[17:31] <donny_> ahhh :)
[17:31] <donny_> does xfce have compositing?
[17:31] <imghost> donny_, paste the output of cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[17:31] <vfw> donny_: Was offering an alternative (partially in jest, but... it's what i use, so...)
[17:31] <Steve_McQuack> My update manager seems to have frozen at "Configuring linux-image-3.2.0-58-generic".  What should I do?
[17:32] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: seems compiz it the issue alright. but its difficult to reset without a xsession.
[17:32] <vfw> donny_: I don't know what "compositing" is.
[17:32] <donny_> imghost: dunno why but here :) http://codebad.com/~hdon/lightdm.conf
[17:32] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: without an xsession?
[17:32] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: the easiest way to fix this is move everything from $HOME and copy everything back one by one
[17:32] <donny_> vfw: you know like KWIN or compiz or xcmpmgr.
[17:33] <donny_> (if i got that last one's name right)
[17:33] <vfw> donny_: I don't use compiz fusion
[17:33] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: WHAT
[17:33] <CorySimmons> I tried installing devscripts and now I've got this big ugly box on my screen that is trying to get me to accept Postfix Configuration or something, but it seems no matter what keys I press, it won't advance to the next screen. Anyone?
[17:33] <vfw> (nor do I need it)
[17:33] <imghost> donny_, no problem with lightdm its fine
[17:34] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: its to reset compiz you need to be logged in as your user with an xsession running from what i can tell
[17:34] <donny_> vfw: apparently KWIN is way better. a friend of mine who was a very early compiz developer and got a at canonical for a bit says KWIN is much better than compiz or any of its forks
[17:34] <devarsh_revelado> hey guyz, i am trying to access inbuilt SD card reader and read an SD card, from my ubuntu ACER aspire laptop.  there is nothing mounted  in /mnt and /media and dmesg shows some log related to SD (which i am not able to understand)
[17:34] <KLVTZ> devarsh_revelado: sudo fdisk -l
[17:34] <KLVTZ> devarsh_revelado: do you see your SD card?
[17:34] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: removing Xorg.conf as vfw advised (and you hinted at; i think you told me to regenerate it, does it get automatically regenerated if i removed it?) got me to the desktop. my problem seems basically solved.
[17:35] <KLVTZ> devarsh_revelado: assuming it's plugged in.
[17:35] <donny_> i'm just making sur
[17:35] <kongthap> i like to use gedit as my default text editor not geany how to setup? thanks :)
[17:35] <donny_> i'm just making sure no one has any more advice to give me i guess :)
[17:35] <devarsh_revelado> sd card is plugged in and fdisk -l has no output
[17:35] <vfw> donny_: Problem is solved because you removed xorg.conf file
[17:35] <CorySimmons> nm got it
[17:35] <CorySimmons> needed to tab options
[17:35] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: you regenerate it with nvidia-xconfig
[17:35] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: are you running fdiks -l with root privs?
[17:35] <CorySimmons> hehe
[17:36] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: ah,  ok, i've done that. now i'll restart X i guess...
[17:36] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: restart lightdm not X
[17:36] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: worked like a charm. yes i did lightdm.
[17:36] <devarsh_revelado> yes its with root prevs
[17:36] <vfw> donny_: sudo service lightdm restart
[17:36] <donny_> i do know a little bit about this stuff :)
[17:36] <kostkon> donny_, to restart x you do sudo service lightdm restart
[17:37] <donny_> i just get rusty...
[17:37] <imghost> donny_, paste the output of cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
[17:37] <donny_> kostkon: already done my friend :)
[17:37] <donny_> imghost: alright, but not sure why...
[17:37] <devarsh_revelado> sorry with root prevs. it shows many drivs mounted  but there is nothing related to SD card
[17:37] <vfw> imghost: or: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:37] <donny_> imghost: http://codebad.com/~hdon/xorg.conf.txt
[17:38] <kostkon> donny_, maybe post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well
[17:38] <vfw> imghost: (cut-to-the-chase)
[17:38] <KLVTZ> devarsh_revelado: none show the same size as the SD?
[17:38] <donny_> ok ok i'm not trying to have a pastebin party here...
[17:38] <KLVTZ> devarsh_revelado: can you plug in a normal USB and read info off of it?
[17:38] <donny_> is there any reason to think this process hasn't gone pretty smoothly and is complete?
[17:38] <vfw> donny_: Problem solved?
[17:39] <mib_mib> hi all - i recently had a new server provisioned for me - i'm wondering if there are any tools to run that can verify whether all of the ram, cpus, hard drives, etc are operating correctly and efficiently
[17:39] <donny_> vfw: yeah i believe so
[17:39] <blz> Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.10 to a software RAID5 array.  A cursory google search seems to suggest that there's no RAID support in ubiquity for that version -- how should I proceed?
[17:39] <devarsh_revelado> yes i am able to read from this SD card using from the other laptop
[17:39] <donny_> you guys are very eager to help though. thanks a lot i appreciate it. i will pop in here and "pay it forward" today.
[17:39] <donny_> or maybe right now
[17:39] <blz> For clarity, I'd like to create the RAID5 array at installation time
[17:40] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: could you pastebin the output of dmesg? i'd like to see if the kernel logged anything when you inserted your SD card
[17:40] <vfw> mib_mib: phpsysinfo
[17:40] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: vfw: kostkon: imghost: thanks all btw, you guys are awesome :)
[17:40] <hitsujiTMO> donny_: no probs
[17:42] <donny_> someone should help devarsh_revelado with pastbinning dmesg you guys seem to know the package name and command to make it easy..
[17:42] <donny_> what was it? pastebinit ?
[17:43] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: try dmesg|pastebinit # and then share the URL you get (i guess)
[17:43] <vfw> yes
[17:44] <vfw> devarsh_revelado: Did it show up in the output of fdisk -l ?
[17:44] <vfw> devarsh_revelado: Show us, (sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit)
[17:45] <vfw> devarsh_revelado: ... and send resulting url
[17:45] <devarsh_revelado> donny : thanks for showing me cmd : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6763245/
[17:49] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: looking now
[17:50] <donny_> that's a lot of blank lines...
[17:50] <donny_> vfw: did you look at his paste? i think pastebinit is broken
[17:50] <donny_> oh wait
[17:51] <donny_> it's just not laid out to be viewable as text
[17:51] <donny_> nevermind
[17:51] <donny_> (i'm still living in screen(1) for the moment and i used curl)
[17:51] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: it looks like it found your SD card
[17:51] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: could you pastebin the output of mount command?
[17:52] <donny_> no need to run mount as root in this case
[17:53] <uhohbigproblem> hello all. in search of answers, big problem here

[17:57] <david38400> buntu12.04 having problems with flv format? I didn't have any problems until recently and all of a sudden they don't work properly? Can anyone please help me?
[17:57] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: could you also show us sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[17:57] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: it looks like your kernel has identified a removable disk and assigns it /dev/sdb but /dev/sdb* isn't mounted
[17:57] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: this might mean your kernel doesn't have a module for the filesystem on your sd card
[17:58] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: but that seems unlikely..

[18:00] <rustuptwist> does MInecraft run on Ubuntu?
[18:00] <hitsujiTMO> rustuptwist: yes. you need to install java first
[18:00] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: /dev/sda seems to be your main hdd. looks like you dualboot windows and ubuntu
[18:00] <mib_mib> can someone help ? how do i use cpufrequtils on ubuntu to set the cpu governor to 'performance' mode
[18:00] <imghost> rustuptwist, use websearch :)
[18:01] <hitsujiTMO> !java | rustuptwist
[18:01] <donny_> s9iper1: ah i see
[18:01] <rustuptwist> imghost:  yes you are right, live humans can be quicker and more accurate though, but yes you are right :)
[18:01] <s9iper1> donny_ so ?
[18:02] <daniel12345> anyone want to help me in creating an irc chatroom?
[18:02] <s9iper1> any softwrae ?
[18:02] <donny_> s9iper1: i'm only passingly familiar with algorithms designed to synthesize detail in low resolution images. i'm afraid i wouldn't know on any OS what program would be good.
[18:02] <hitsujiTMO> mib_mib: install indicator-cpufreq and you'll get an applet that you can control it from the systray
[18:02] <daniel12345> I will host server
[18:02] <tc0nn> mib_mib: https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/CpuFrequencyScaling
[18:02] <devarsh_revelado> donny : can you tell me how to list out /dev/sdb partition ?

[18:02] <s9iper1> ahhh
[18:02] <imghost> rustuptwist,:D, fyi use jre :)
[18:02] <s9iper1> ok
[18:02] <rustuptwist> imghost:  jre?
[18:02] <donny_> s9iper1: if you have a bit of really low resolution digital art i could make some recommendations, but for photos... i have no idea
[18:02] <rustuptwist> !G jre
[18:02] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[18:03] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: in the pastebin you gave it looks like you did fdisk -l /dev/sda
[18:03] <devarsh_revelado> sudo fdisk /dev/sdb shows no output
[18:03] <devarsh_revelado> thats y i asked
[18:03] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: with -l ?
[18:03] <s9iper1> donny_ ok
[18:03] <imghost> rustuptwist, java runtime environment as to play minecraft
[18:03] <donny_> without -l it should dump you to the fdisk shell
[18:04] <donny_> s9iper1: you might try google, or #gimp on irc.gimp.net
[18:04] <devarsh_revelado> sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb --> no o/p
[18:04] <mib_mib> tc0nn: hitsujiTMO : what should i set in /etc/sysfs.conf for 'performance' mode? this guide only has for 'conservative' mode
[18:04] <david38400> any help with problems with flv video format not working in ubuntu 12.04??
[18:05] <tc0nn> mib_mib: # valid values: userspace conservative powersave ondemand performance
[18:05] <rustuptwist> imghost:  ok thanks. my son has an HP we may install ubuntu on it, but his first question to me was, will it play Minecraft, lol
[18:05] <tc0nn> mib_mib: its all there in that doc...
[18:06] <imghost> rustuptwist, just follow the link that hitsujiTMO gave you install it and enjoy playing minecraft with your son :)
[18:06] <mib_mib> tc0nn: no you need to scroll down, this is tin the sysfs.conf
[18:06] <mib_mib> tc0nn: downsample rate, etc values
[18:06] <devarsh_revelado> donny : it gives no put put and pastebinit warns with empty document sending !

[18:07] <daniel12345> anyone want to help me in creating an irc chatroom? Iw will host server?
[18:07] <hitsujiTMO> daniel12345: what does this have to do with ubuntu?
[18:08] <anonymuss> I was daniel12345
[18:08] <anonymuss> nothing

[18:08] <hitsujiTMO> !ot | anonymuss
[18:09] <anonymuss> ]Sorry, just thought I'd ask.
[18:09] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: fwiw the 2>&1 just makes sure we capture stderr from fdisk
[18:09] <anonymuss> goodbye.
[18:09] <donny_> anonymuss: good luck daniel
[18:09] <anonymuss> Thanks

[18:14] <donny_> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6763245/ i think this is his dmesg pastebin from earlier

[18:15] <eggdrop_master> Hi
[18:15] <eggdrop_master> i just reinstalled 12.04.3 over 13.10 because i wasnt able to resolve a resolution issue (wasnt able to use a resolution above 1024x768) on a graphic chipset (SIS 771/661on a laptop) but on 12.04.3 it now works fine, i solved the problem. My question is ; I m actually rolling Gnome, but i would like to roll XFCE on my 12.04.3. Do you think it will erase my fresh SIS drivers ? Will i get my 1200x768 resolution again ? Sorry for my engli
[18:15] <eggdrop_master> sh
[18:15] <devarsh_revelado> donny :  it shows taht removable drive is there on /dev/sdb
[18:15] <erchache2000> hi, im trying to recover transparency effect from gnome-terminal but doesnt appear
[18:15] <erchache2000> any sugestion to recover transparency terminal?
[18:16] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: you mean dmesg does? yes i saw that
[18:16] <david38400> hoy no tengo suerte con alguien con experiencia con video format flv?
[18:16] <donny_> that's why it's strange to me that we can't seem to see its partition table... although... do sd cards have partition tables?
[18:16]  * donny_ never used sd cards
[18:16] <hitsujiTMO> devarsh_revelado: donny_ """usb 1-1.5: device descriptor read/all, error -71""" looks like an error with the card reader or the sd card
[18:16] <tc0nn> yes, sd cards use partition tables
[18:17] <devarsh_revelado> donny_: no there is no partition table on sd card
[18:17] <devarsh_revelado> i am not aware which partition it has as i took it out from my mobile
[18:17] <donny_> oh
[18:18] <hitsujiTMO> devarsh_revelado: whats the output of: lsusb | pastebinit
[18:18] <donny_> devarsh_revelado: i'll be back later. i have some errands that won't wait for me. good luck!
[18:19] <devarsh_revelado> donny, tc0nn, hitsujiTMO : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6763418/
[18:20] <devarsh_revelado> do you think this  can be solved if i format my card with any perticular fise system ?
[18:20] <hitsujiTMO> devarsh_revelado: it cant even see the block device let alone the filesystem.
[18:21] <knightshade> devarsh_revelado: please remove the card, run 'sudo udevadm monitor' in a terminal, and plug in the card again
[18:21] <roflcopter2381> hi!

[18:23] <hitsujiTMO> devarsh_revelado: any thing i look up seems to suggest an incompatibility with the linux kernel for that device. maybe a good idea to report a bug for it
[18:25] <devarsh_revelado> knightshade : that cmd takes time  ,  hitsuiTMO:  ok . where should i raise this bug in ubuntu site / forum ?
[18:27] <hitsujiTMO> devarsh_revelado: create a launchpad.net account and use this command to start the report: ubuntu-bug linux
[18:27] <kanicorn> What font should I install on Ubuntu in order to make symbols like U+1F34E visible?

[18:47] <sheadow> hi, I try to connect to livedrive.com via sshfs. But I don't know how to escape the @ in username. I tryed different things. The default command would look like sshfs localpart@domain.de@livedrive.com:/ livedrive but it does not work without escaping
[18:47] <devarsh_revelado> tc0nn : this is because you have ported an OS on in. 1 is  / and the other would be for rootfs i guess. i am trying this similar thing for my beaglebone
[18:49] <sheadow> does anyone know how to escape the @ caracter?
[18:49] <hitsujiTMO> sheadow: offtopic, but escape for what exactly?
[18:49] <hitsujiTMO> sheadow: offtopic, but escape for what exactly?
[18:50] <sheadow> sshfs
[18:50] <sheadow> the username contains an @
[18:51] <tc0nn> use \@
[18:51] <tc0nn> Accept that's very bad practice to use usernames requiring escapes.
[18:51] <hans_> hi boys and girls
[18:52] <fartface> is there a straightforward way to get a log of what e-mails my server is trying to send out on 12.04?
[18:52] <tc0nn> Um, like mail.log?
[18:52] <hans_> i have a question is there a up to date list whit laptops how run ubuntu
[18:53] <sheadow> @tc0nn: thx. But are you sure? I tryed that already and it didn't work. Refused the login
[18:53] <hans_> http://www.linlap.com/recommended_laptops is out off date
[18:53] <fartface> tc0nn: Well, mail.log is basically empty, but according to my VPS provider my server triggered a 100 smtp connections in 10 minutes, and I'm trying to track down where and when this happened as I can't see evidence of this anywhere.
[18:53] <hitsujiTMO> sheadow: url escape it
[18:53] <tc0nn> sheadow: if its scripted, you might need to double-escape or put it in single quotes. Just depends what is actually calling the cmd.
[18:53] <tc0nn> or like hitsuj said
[18:54] <mmazing> fartface: if you're continually getting connections outbound, try netstat -ntap and try and see what process is doing it
[18:54] <hitsujiTMO> sheadow: %40
[18:54] <mmazing> fartface: also, run that as root
[18:55] <fartface> mmazing: and they should show up as "ESTABLISHED" right?
[18:55] <sheadow> @hitsujiTMO: seems to work. Thx
[18:56] <tc0nn> fartface: whatever is sending may not be using your system to queue up the email, but connecting directly outbound instead. I would fire up wireshark and look for outbound 25 or 465 tcp traffic, but that's assuming you have X setup and whatnot... So maybe tcpdump dst port 25  - if its on 465 (encrypted) you won't get much out of it.
[18:57] <fartface> tc0nn: thanks!

[19:08] <dgarstang1> Anyone know a tool for building ubuntu raw images?
[19:09] <hitsujiTMO> dgarstang1: images as in drive images or which?
[19:10] <dgarstang1> hitsujiTMO: Something that would simplify this... https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/building-image
[19:10] <dgarstang1> hitsujiTMO: Google compute doesn't support Ubuntu. We'd have to roll our own images and upload
[19:11] <tc0nn> fartface: so you might want to null route that host
[19:12] <tc0nn> fartface: route add fenrus.**DOMAIN**.ca.smtp dev lo
[19:13] <hitsujiTMO> dgarstang1: i see , looks like you need an entire toolchain specific to that. so not a dd image you need then. is https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/tree/master/gcimagebundle not what you need ?
[19:13] <dgarstang1> hitsujiTMO: That tool is for rebundling an existing image already running inside GCE
[19:18] <TJ-> dgarstang1: You might find live-build, livecd-rootfs, shim, shim-signed and there dependencies and recommends useful
[19:18] <hitsujiTMO> dgarstang1: looks like you could simply use debootstrap to create the base OS to a drive and image the drive with dd
[19:20] <TJ-> dgarstang1: I suspect you'd be better using pre-seeding though... see e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/installation-guide/i386/preseed-using.html
[19:20] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: its hdd image rather than a cd image that it needs
[19:21] <TJ-> hitsujiTMO: I know ... the tools are flexible. It sounds to be though like dgarstang1 just needs a preseed
[19:22] <blz> Hello, I'm trying to install GRUB to an installation which currently does not boot (doing this from the rescue option of the Ubuntu server installer).  `grub-install /dev/sda` complains that "embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install".  What should I be doing differently?
[19:22] <hitsujiTMO> TJ-: nah, debootstrap + dd would do the trick. its litterally just taking an image from 1 machine to another
[19:23] <hitsujiTMO> dgarstang1: you could also just use the server iso and install that to a vm. and dd the virtual drive to a file

[19:38] <NuSuey> nothing
[19:39] <vanishing> its not installed then
[19:39] <vanishing> :)
[19:39] <vanishing> sudo apt-get install libudev1
[19:39] <NuSuey> well how the hell to install it :)

[19:41] <xevil> I have a bit of a problem with the nouveau driver in Ubuntu 13.10... it was working fine until I changed the screen resolution and the display became garbled and I can't find the xorg. conf file.  Evidently there is not an /etc/xorg.conf file in the system.  Deoes anyone know where the screen display resolution cinfig might reside?
[19:41] <riqdiiz> Dependency perhaps
[19:42] <Lucid_Lynx> apparently Linux developers are never going to learn it..., still garbled screens ´n stuff..
[19:43] <TJ-> NuSuey: which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[19:43] <NuSuey> TJ-: 12.04
[19:44] <vanishing> what if you do apt-cache search libudev
[19:44] <TJ-> NuSuey: Where'd you get QT5 from? Trusty is the first release that contains libqt5serialport5 which provided libQT5SerialPort.so.5
[19:45] <NuSuey> TJ-: ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
[19:46] <TJ-> NuSuey: that explains it; libudev1 wasn't introduced until raring. You've got a totally unsupportable configuration there with newer libraries that have dependencies that will be almost impossible to meet
[19:46] <NuSuey> crap!
[19:46] <vanishing> welp..

[20:11] <temp001> [Unity Quicklists Problem] I added "IPython Notebook" option to my IPython Launcher icon via MenuLibre (command:"ipython notebook --pylab=inline"). The problem is I have to press ctrl+c to quit the ipython process after I'm done with it. But with quicklists, I'm no longer running it through terminal (ipython notebook launches the browser at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8888/) so I cannot press ctrl+c after I quit the browser. So the ipython process keeps running in the
[20:11] <temp001> background. If I run ipython notebook again and again, more and more ipython instance stays running in the background. How do I stop the process *automatically* after I close the browser and save myself the trouble of using pkill everytime?
[20:11] <temp001> Help?
[20:11] <hitsujiTMO> HideMe: usually no. the installer should take care of the specifics, unless you're doing manual partitioning

[20:16] <Curly_Q> Elliotd123 check this link out: http://superuser.com/questions/589732/how-to-detect-if-network-is-dropping-udp-packets
[20:17] <gisli> I'm having problems booting into single user mode in ubuntu 13.04. I cant't drop to a root shell prompt because it alwaty
[20:18] <gisli> always asks for a "root password for maintenance"
[20:18] <elliotd123> thanks Curly_Q - Unfortunately, I can't test from the UDP source
[20:19] <temp001> ...one option is to add "pkill ipython" to the IPython quicklists itself! :)) ..but that isn't fun! :)
[20:20] <Curly_Q> Elliotd123 from my CISCO networking classes, UDP packets can and will be dropped which makes it unreliable at times unless you have a good connection as well as bandwidth and other factors.
[20:21] <elliotd123> Yep it's a very good connection - we are directly connected essentially to the UDP source
[20:21] <Curly_Q> Such as DCC send on IRC.
[20:21] <elliotd123> the packets are being dropped by the linux kernel
[20:21] <elliotd123> as reported in ifconfig
[20:21] <Curly_Q> Increase your RAM.
[20:22] <eltigre> Hi, I am in big trouble. During my last installation out of incompetence I chose btrfs for my SSD... now I have like 20GB space free, at least half of the metadata is unused, but I still get "disk full" with sqlite apps (all browsers...) and virtualbox
[20:22] <eltigre> any ideas?
[20:22] <elliotd123> I have 32 GB ram...
[20:23] <elliotd123> using slightly over 1 GB right now
[20:23] <Curly_Q> Have you tried a different kernel such as Debian?
[20:23] <elliotd123> Debian is not a different kernel...
[20:24] <eltigre> hm is there a channel where one can get help on ubuntu?
[20:24] <Curly_Q> Have you tried Debian?
[20:25] <elliotd123> well no, but packets are dropped in the kernel, not by the operating system. The linux kernel has a built-in networking layer, so it shouldn't matter which distribution I use
[20:25] <Curly_Q> It is possible that your server has lots of processes running in the background swamping down your CPU.
[20:25] <elliotd123> 0.2% CPU usage
[20:26] <elliotd123> Cpu(s):  0.2%us,  0.4%sy,  0.0%ni, 99.4%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
[20:26] <elliotd123> Mem:  32864420k total,  1193776k used, 31670644k free,   193148k buffers
[20:27] <Curly_Q> Perhaps your buffer overflow needs to be set to the amount of RAM you have and SWAP file as well.
[20:28] <Curly_Q> Just curious. Are all of your RAM modules the same manufactured specs? Same model number and so on?
[20:28] <elliotd123> Yeah they're all identical
[20:28] <elliotd123> so I tried doubling the buffer to 2^18-1 but no effect
[20:29] <Curly_Q> I asked that because if you have 1,000 gigs of RAM which just a figure of speach, the RAM module which is the least in speed will controll the other modules which slows down the system.
[20:30] <pers3us> elliotd123, have you seen similar packet drop in any other case?
[20:31] <Euclidis> Greetings..
[20:31] <Euclidis> I've got a problem..
[20:31] <elliotd123> pers3us, I don't think so
[20:32] <Curly_Q> Elliotd123, another thing to consider is that when your server is receiving packets of data from other IP's never forget that data packets are THROTTLED by Internet providers and it just may be that your server is working OK but the packets of UDP are being throttled.
[20:33] <hitsujiTMO> !root | gisli
[20:33] <elliotd123> well this is in a datacenter, so it's not going through an ISP
[20:33] <pers3us> Curly_Q, elliotd123 said the data packets are being dropped at kernel level. I doubt throttling has anything to do with this atm.
[20:34] <pers3us> elliotd123, can you describe the network in a bit more detail. What is the data that is being sent? What kind of connection exists? Is the instance of a server a VM?
[20:36] <elliotd123> The traffic is UDP Multicast MPTS streams. The connection looks like this: Source -> Cisco Switch (Vendor) -> Cisco Switch (Ours) -> Server
[20:36] <phiscribe> i have an xp machine with a shared drive. i have a user we will call willy. i have another machine with the main user also called weilly. when i in explorer try to enter \\machinename i am prompted for credentials. they almost always fail. but sometimes they dont. the second machine is win 8.1. what am i doing wrong
[20:36] <elliotd123> The server is not a VM in this case
[20:36] <miseria> "no estoy de acuerdo con la pena de muerte, al final las leyes sobrenaturales nos tienen condenados a morir" bienvenidos: http://castroruben.com *temo_a_un_ser_sin_rival*
[20:37] <elliotd123> Our switch is not reporting any dropped packets, so I believe the entire stream is reaching our server.
[20:37] <pers3us> elliotd123, This is weird
[20:37] <gisli> ubottu: so you're saying that if there's no root password set on the system then I can't boot into single user mode?
[20:38] <gisli> dayum!
[20:38] <elliotd123> pers3us, yeah - and the overruns counter stays at 0, so maybe it's not a buffer problem?
[20:38] <elliotd123> I'm just trying to figure out why it would be dropping any packets
[20:38] <pers3us> elliotd123, I don't think it has anything to do with buffer at all.
[20:38] <hitsujiTMO> gisli: no, someone set a root password, doing so is not supported in ubuntu
[20:39] <Euclidis> I've got really annoying video tearing using ATI card. I had installed 'fglrx-updates' with 'vainfo' hard. acceleration, and the tearing continue..
[20:39] <aleksejs_> Hi! I have directories like 011-020, 021-030 etc. I want to make a bash script that takes, for example, 1 as argument, from 1 it gets 011-020, and then performs an action to each file in this directory. Could you help me with that?
[20:39] <pers3us> elliotd123, One question, I didn't read all your responses, but how did you identify there is a packet loss at your end?
[20:40] <Euclidis> How can I definetely fix it?
[20:40] <elliotd123> RX packets:2207391644 errors:0 dropped:82355 overruns:0 frame:0 <- the dropped counter continues to go up
[20:40] <aleksejs_> I know how to perform an action to each file, but can't figure out, how to get that directory name and pass it to for cycle
[20:40] <Curly_Q> Ellitoid123, it may sound primitive but have you tried replacing the cables to the server to satisfy any electrical or technical issues?
[20:40] <gisli> hitsujiTMO: oh okay, so what is single user mode for then? this is stupid
[20:40] <david38400> A friend has just purchased an apple mac retina 15. I use linux which is similar, but dont know how her mac works. Does anyone  know if there is a dedicate chat line where we can ask simple   questions?
[20:41] <elliotd123> when we're reading the UDP stream, we're getting discontinuity errors, basically the receiver is looking for the next packet in sequence but is missing some from the squence
[20:41] <pers3us> elliotd123, There is an expected degree of loss in case of UDP. I am not sure if 82k packets are to be considered alright.
[20:41] <hitsujiTMO> gisli: recovery. but since you or someone set a root password, then you need the root password to access it
[20:41] <Lynysys> Hi folks I use a debian based distro - I wish to use eth0 purely for a local network and wlan0 for internet. I can use eth0 without wlan0 working, or wlan0 without eth0 plugged. But never at the same time. My routing table is here if relevant: http://pastebin.com/xEa8zBZb
[20:42] <Lynysys> A helpful fellow from #debian suggested that I look into lartc but I'd hoped this was a simple change of routing table
[20:42] <Beldar> Lynysys, This is ubuntu only support
[20:42] <hitsujiTMO> Lynysys: this is ubuntu support. you will need to visit a channel for you distro
[20:42] <elliotd123> I realize it's a really low percentage, so it may not be the source of all the discontinuity errors, but I wanted to see if there was any way to determine what the cause of those drops was
[20:42] <pers3us> elliotd123, The connection between switch and your server is probably at fault here. Curly_Q 's advice doesn't sound bad to me.
[20:43] <vigneshwaran> how to install .tar.bz file
[20:43] <Curly_Q> It is possible Elliotd123 that you may have what is called: "line noise" in your cables or they could be too lenglthly or other factors. Most people overlook the LAYER 1 of CISCO rules.
[20:43] <fellayaboy> would anyone know how to create a pxe server but without using ubuntu server..just standard ubuntu
[20:44] <mdev> just made changes to /etc/security/limits.conf do I have to reboot the OS for them to take affect?
[20:44] <hitsujiTMO> vigneshwaran: start by telling us what exactly is the app you want to install
[20:44] <elliotd123> pers3us, Curly_Q, that sounds like it could be a reasonable explaination. I don't think it's an individual cable, because I have 2 servers with multiple interfaces and they're all getting discontinuity errors. I could believe that crosstalk could be contributing though.
[20:45] <vigneshwaran> PuzzleMoppetFullVersion
[20:45] <vigneshwaran> PuzzleMoppetFullVersion
[20:45] <elliotd123> We have a lot of cables in there
[20:45] <vigneshwaran> HitsujiTMO: PuzzleMoppetFullVersion
[20:45] <vigneshwaran> in terminal i want to use which command line.
[20:46] <vigneshwaran> give step by step commands
[20:46] <Curly_Q> Crosstalk is a big issue with RJ45 cables.
[20:46] <elliotd123> I believe these are all cat5e - maybe I should try replacing some with cat6? If I remember correctly, cat6 has better sheilding...
[20:47] <Lynysys> I found the solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1531569
[20:48] <Curly_Q> It is not only shielding but remember it is how the cables are trimmed at the connector and sockets. Just one wire that is too long can cause cross talk and other problems.
[20:48] <pers3us> elliotd123, I actually have no idea of cables, but will sheilding amount to so much packet loss?
[20:48] <rawr> so #httpd kicked me over here.. the default /www/index.html is downloading instead of displaying. ideas?
[20:48] <pers3us> Curly_Q, Ah, that sounds reasonable ...
[20:48] <jeffrey_f> Lynysys: The network will likely use the route/connection of least resistance.  Since eth0 is faster, you may see less use of wlan0.  One way to ensure that your network interfaces use eth0 for local and wlan0 for internet is to have separate networks for each with neither connected accross.
[20:49] <Curly_Q> Pers3us I teach classes at a Network Academy. :)
[20:49] <jeffrey_f> Lynysys: pretty much as the solution suggests, subnets
[20:49] <pers3us> Curly_Q, oh!  Is that why your nick is what it is?
[20:50] <Beldar> quaresma, /j #hacking and swear to yourself not the channel.
[20:51] <hitsujiTMO> vigneshwaran: ok, so not in a repo then :P ... untar the archive with: tar xf archive.tar.gz                  move intot he directory and read the README file
[20:51] <MichNational> i have ubuntu 10.04 and i just got a n150 wireless usb adapter and i cant get it to work. i used slacko puppy 5.5 and got it to work but not on ubuntu. can some one help?
[20:51] <rawr> any ideas? I'm stuck not even getting the stock page to display :(
[20:51] <mdev> ndiswrapper may help
[20:51] <Beldar> !10.04 | MichNational
[20:51] <pers3us> Curly_Q, :D no not at all. Its from Greek Mythology.
[20:52] <Curly_Q> I know. The Perseus Project is a website that delves into the ancient Roman and Greek culture. You may want to explore it.
[20:52] <hitsujiTMO> rawr: what web server are you using?
[20:52] <rostam> Hi I am trying to start  dhcp server: service isc-dhcp-server. However, every time, I get the following message: init: isc-dhcp-server main process(...) killed by TERM signal.       why?
[20:53] <rawr> hitsujiTMO: apache2. It was working , purged apache then reinstalled and now no dice.
[20:53] <MichNational> ok ill look.
[20:53] <Curly_Q> http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/
[20:53] <MichNational> brb
[20:53] <tc0nn> rostam: check your log files in /var/log
[20:53] <pers3us> Curly_Q, Ah! well I didn't know about the perseus project, will look into it.
[20:53] <Beldar> MichNational, You realize the desktop version of 10.04 is end of life and you do not have repo access.
[20:53] <hitsujiTMO> rawr: whats the output of: apt-cache policy apache2
[20:54] <Curly_Q> Pers3us I was taught this by a friend professor about 20 years ago.
[20:54] <vigneshwaran> hitsujiTMO: in readme file also there is no instruction s. you just tell the command commands to install tar.bz
[20:54] <Curly_Q> I am a Latin and Greek enthusiast.
[20:54] <rawr> hitsujiTMO:  https://gist.github.com/anonymous/75499da8d5c80150b590
[20:55] <pers3us> Curly_Q, Wow, well I took the name from a book i was reading some years ago. I don't remember the name now.
[20:55] <hitsujiTMO> rawr: have you modified any of the apache configs yet?
[20:55] <Curly_Q> We learn something new every day. :)
[20:55] <pers3us> Curly_Q, I too am kind of a interested in Greek Myth and history, but never got chance to pursue
[20:56] <pers3us> Curly_Q, Most certainly .. Thanks for the link btw.
[20:56] <hitsujiTMO> vigneshwaran: then you'd have to contact the developer. there's no standard way to install from a tar.bz ... it depends on what the dev set up
[20:56] <Curly_Q> Your welcome.
[20:56] <pers3us> its quite interesting.
[20:56] <pgar23> hello all, how would I get cairo-dock to auto-start instead of booting up and then clicking launch application? TIA
[20:56] <pers3us> anyway, gn :) its pretty late here. n thnx again.
[20:56] <elliotd123> gn and thanks pers3us
[20:56] <Beldar> pgar23, put it in startup applications
[20:57] <rawr> hitsujiTMO: yes a tad. i duped the default in sites-available , added a servername, added ServerName localhost to httpd.conf
[20:57] <pgar23> Beldar: where is that located plz?
[20:57] <Curly_Q> The Greeks were the forerunners in preserving books and scrolls so we today can enjoy them.
[20:57] <pers3us> elliotd123,  np! :) though i wasn't much help. it was all Curly_Q
[20:57] <rawr> hitsujiTMO: and restarted of course
[20:57] <fellayaboy> Does anyone know using a standard ubuntu distro, can you turn off and on a dhcp server ...not a remote dhcp
[20:57] <Beldar> pgar23, In the menu
[20:57] <pers3us> Curly_Q, indeed.
[20:58] <MichNational> i tryed to upgraid to 12.04 and i cant. i used a live cd to test it gos through all steps but when it gos to the sign in screen then it gos blank i can tell that it is running but i cant see anything. id like to upgraid to.
[20:58] <Beldar> !eol | MichNational
[20:58] <Curly_Q> Pers3us we have spoken before a while ago. It is nice to see you again.
[20:58] <hitsujiTMO> vigneshwaran: use paste.ubuntu.com
[20:58] <Beldar> MichNational, Look at the eol upgrade.
[20:59] <MichNational> eol?
[20:59] <tc0nn> Do it again :)

[21:01] <blz> I'm trying to install ubuntu-server to a software RAID volume, but I keep getting an error when installing grub.  The error reads "executing `grub-install /dev/sda/` failed".  What can I do to fix this?
[21:02] <MichNational> ok i get eol. but why do i not get graphics after it boots 12.04 iv tryed backtrack 5 r3 to and same thing.
[21:02] <Curly_Q> .
[21:03] <Beldar> MichNational, Graphic drivers maybe.
[21:04] <MichNational> ya im looking into drivers.
[21:04] <MichNational> brb
[21:05] <tc0nn> MichNational: have you tried a different resolution?
[21:05] <Polyonymous> Ok, a few issues, all related: Fresh load of Ubuntu 12.04 won't show on my monitor: video mode not supported, which is what it does when the resolution's wrong. However, when I try to boot into graphical failsafe mode, I just get a blank screen.
[21:05] <MichNational> no
[21:06] <Polyonymous> Tested on a nicer monitor, and it shows fine at a higher resolution
[21:06] <AdityaRaj> hey guys i am trying to run an adobe air app on my ubuntu 12.04 system but unable to do so.. the app is called long tail pro.. can anyone help me please ??
[21:06] <Polyonymous> But it's still kinda worrying
[21:07] <jhutchins> Polyonymous: Your problem monitor might not be supplying it's capacity correctly.  Some low-end or older ones don't.
[21:07] <Beldar> AdityaRaj, Is there a linux version?
[21:07] <AdityaRaj> Beldar, ubuntu 12.04 lts i think..
[21:07] <jhutchins> AdityaRaj: Isn't that a windows app?
[21:07] <Polyonymous> Ok. So I just need to tell it the resolution for it to work normally
[21:07] <bekks> AdityaRaj: If there is a linux version, why do you try to run the adobe air version?
[21:08] <Polyonymous> But I'm more concerned about it not booting into failsafe
[21:08] <AdityaRaj> jhutchins, it is an adobe air app.. ideally should work on linux as well
[21:08] <AdityaRaj> bekks, there is no linux version available
[21:09] <AdityaRaj> so far i have also tried installing adobe air on wine and running it. the app starts but has issues like unable to connect with internet and stuff
[21:09] <AdityaRaj> another option i dont want to go for is using a vm
[21:10] <jhutchins> AdityaRaj: You need the Air runtime environment, which it appears is available for Linux, but you probably have to download it from the Adobe site.
[21:10] <MichNational> anything i try above 10.04 fails i see it booting up and every thing but when it gos to the sign in screen it gos black but it is running and i have to kill it with the power button then i see a quick glimmer of the sign in screen.
[21:10] <bekks> AdityaRaj: That will be your best bet, since Adobe Air for Linux is discontinued since 2011.
[21:10] <jhutchins> AdityaRaj: They have both 32 and 64b versions.
[21:10] <Beldar> MichNational, The cd does not have upgrade options, is that what you want?
[21:11] <AdityaRaj> jhutchins, i think long tail pro requires me to have a more recent version of adobe air
[21:11] <MichNational> i have all of the live cds i just cant use them
[21:12] <MichNational> i can run them on vbox
[21:12] <Beldar> MichNational, You spoke of the cd as if looking for an upgrade, use nicks here as well.
[21:12] <MichNational> nicks?
[21:12] <AdityaRaj> MichNational, what are you trying to do with them ?
[21:13] <Beldar> !tab | MichNational
[21:13] <AdityaRaj> bekks, long tail pro requires a more recent version of adobe air
[21:13] <MichNational> ok
[21:13] <bekks> AdityaRaj: As I said, Adobe Air for Linux is discontinued since 2011.
[21:14] <MichNational> i want to install 12.04 ubuntu and backtrack 5 r3 on my system
[21:15] <bekks> MichNational: Backtrack is dead, it is Kali Linux now, just fyi.
[21:15] <CoDEmanX> Hi
[21:15] <Jordan_U> blz: Did you create your RAID array out of member partitions or member drives?
[21:15] <Beldar> !nomodeset | MichNational
[21:15] <CoDEmanX> i'm running Ubuntu server 12.04.3 LTS and wanna install pastebinit
[21:15] <MichNational> i a bit new to irc
[21:15] <MichNational> kail?
[21:15] <blz> Jordan_U, I'm not quite sur what you mean by "member partitions" vs "member drives"
[21:15] <CoDEmanX> but apt-get returns "packet not found"
[21:15] <blz> Jordan_U, but there's a partition of size n on each of the three drives
[21:16] <blz> Jordan_U, and the RAID5 is build from those 3 partitions
[21:16] <MichNational> let me go look brb
[21:16] <k1l> CoDEmanX: no typo?
[21:16] <blz> Jordan_U, i posted a few relevant details in this askubuntu question:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/406581/why-is-grub-failing-to-install
[21:16] <AdityaRaj> ubottu, good tip
[21:16] <k1l> CoDEmanX: the package exists in universe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&searchon=names&keywords=pastebinit   make sure universe is enabled
[21:16] <AdityaRaj> jhutchins, bekks shouldn't i be able to use wine to get this working ?
[21:16] <bekks> AdityaRaj: Thats more effort than just using a vm.
[21:17] <Beldar> MichNational, try to post what is actually needed, we don't need a brb, answer questions and if addressing someone use there nick.
[21:17] <MichNational> ok
[21:17] <blz> Jordan_U, does that answer your question?
[21:18] <CoDEmanX> k1l: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=65362
[21:19] <CoDEmanX> how do i enable universe (or lucid, or...)
[21:19] <AdityaRaj> bekks, can u tell me a light weight vm i will be downloading it from mobile data so a bit expensive here :(
[21:19] <Beldar> CoDEmanX, lucid desktop is eol
[21:19] <k1l> CoDEmanX: wait, you have lucid running?
[21:19] <Jordan_U> blz: Yes.
[21:19] <CoDEmanX> no clue actually...
[21:20] <CoDEmanX> just googled for pastebinit repos
[21:20] <k1l> CoDEmanX: what does "lsb_release -a" give you?
[21:20] <bekks> AdityaRaj: "Windows." Purchase it from Microsoft, install it into a vm.
[21:20] <Jordan_U> blz: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and the complete outptu of "sudo grub-install /dev/sda".
[21:21] <k1l> CoDEmanX: you can tell the the ubuntu version number  here
[21:21] <CoDEmanX> precise
[21:21] <k1l> CoDEmanX: is this a desktop?
[21:21] <blz> Jordan_U, uh, I'm not sure how I can do that.  I'm still stuck on the installer screen with the aforementioned error message
[21:21] <CoDEmanX> server only
[21:21] <blz> Jordan_U, I assume I need to boot from a LiveCD, but I'm not sure what to do beyond that
[21:21] <CoDEmanX> http://askubuntu.com/questions/78613/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository-from-the-command-line ?
[21:22] <k1l> CoDEmanX: ok, than see "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and see if the universe repo is enabled
[21:23] <Jordan_U> blz: Start by booting the LiveCD and pastebin the outptu of "sudo parted -l" from there.
[21:24] <CoDEmanX> k1l: hard to tell, scrolling doesn't work in vm :(

[21:30] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: you running steam with optirun?
[21:31] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: can you open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log && dmesg | pastebinit
[21:31] <botsis> no idea, i came across that term for the first team today.. just went it the dash to run steam. steam isn't my concern anymore(at the moment)
[21:31] <glundgren> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/RdrR6JsD and the other is empty
[21:31] <botsis> sure, 2sec
[21:32] <blz> Jordan_U, I got to a shell using ubuntu-server's "repair a broken system" option, but there's no way to pastebin the output. Can you tell me what information you're looking for from parted -l ?
[21:34] <botsis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6764318/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/6764319/
[21:34] <botsis> these are the 2 files hitsujiTMO
[21:35] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:35] <botsis> done
[21:36] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: sudo service lightdm restart
[21:37] <botsis> alright, brb
[21:38] <glundgren> Jordan_U: do you know what it can be?
[21:39] <Jordan_U> glundgren: sudo rm /etc/mtab && sudo ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
[21:39] <BAPEsta> Hi guys, anyone here who can help me with making a bootable USB for OSX? I can't seem to get the convertion right in the terminal
[21:40] <glundgren> Jordan_U: it will solve the full disk problem?
[21:40] <glundgren> Jordan_U: the df -h is working thanks!
[21:40] <Jordan_U> glundgren: Note that once you've fixed your out of space issue you'll want to "sudo rm /etc/mtab && sudo cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab".
[21:40] <glundgren> Jordan_U: and it now shows empty space
[21:41] <glundgren> Jordan_U: any chance that you saw this error before, im using an ubuntu amazon ec2 instance
[21:41] <glundgren> ?
[21:42] <botsis> hitsujiTMO, as easy as that... thanks a lot. can you tell me what happend? everything i found on ubuntu forums were tons and tons of commands that didn't help at all
[21:43] <Jordan_U> glundgren: I just google'd the error message, saw an explanation that it was caused by an improper /etc/mtab (usually because /etc/mtab couldn't be written to due to a full root FS) and knew from memory that you can make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts (with some reduced functionality).
[21:43] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: seems nvidia-xconfig was triggered and generated a xorg.conf. but thats not needed for an optimus setup
[21:44] <glundgren> Jordan_U: nice! its VERY obscure info for me, im kind of a newbie
[21:44] <glundgren> Jordan_U: thank you very much sir
[21:44] <botsis> okay. let me check steam
[21:44] <botsis> also working..
[21:45] <Jordan_U> glundgren: You're welcome.
[21:46] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: look into installing bumblebee or nvidia-prime to use the nvidia gpu
[21:46] <botsis> is it needed for football manager? i have installed bumblebee earlier today, most probably deleted it again though
[21:47] <hitsujiTMO> probably not. your intel gpu should handle that
[21:47] <k-rad> i dont have a home folder icon in latest ubuntu lts
[21:49] <botsis> okay will do bumblebee then
[21:50] <glundgren> Jordan_U: the df stuff is working, it fixed for a moment the original problem
[21:51] <botsis> what does the optirun command means, will i need to use that when running games or..
[21:51] <glundgren> Jordan_U: E138: Can't write viminfo file /home/ubuntu/.viminfo!  things like that keeps returning
[21:51] <botsis> oh, bumblebee installed alr
[21:52] <glundgren> Jordan_U: its like the space keeps getting filled, without having any file
[21:52] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: by default everything will run thru your intel gpu. with bumblebee you need to use: optirun <appname>  to run the app thru the nvidia gpu
[21:53] <hitsujiTMO> botsis for the nvidia proprietary driver you need to also have bumblebee-nvidia   installed
[21:54] <glundgren> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/2kBrCxge look my df -h
[21:54] <botsis> bumblebee-nvidia is already the newest version.
[21:54] <botsis> glxsphere is just to see performance results right, i don't need that ?
[21:54] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: optirun glxsphere
[21:55] <botsis> no it's not installed. just wondering if i need to get it or not
[21:55] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: or optirun glxheads       if mesa-utils is installed
[21:57] <botsis> yeah, spinning much faster with optirun
[21:57] <botsis> seems it's working, thank you man. saved me
[21:58] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: so you should run steam then with optirun
[21:58] <botsis> will keep you posted once fm is up and running. yeah, will restart steam after installing
[22:00] <Jeffry> do i want to contact hp about thi they made my laptops?
[22:01] <Jeffry> oops wrong irc
[22:02] <RSA4096> xD
[22:08] <schultza> Is <IP_ADDRESS> suppose to be in /etc/resolve.conf ? I thought it was suppose to be <IP_ADDRESS>.
[22:09] <bekks> BAsically ir doesnt matter, since everything in the <IP_ADDRESS>/8 network is considered to be "localhost".
[22:09] <SiliconG> anyone out there on the bleeding edge of the lamp stack?  I need to get apache 2.4.7 + php5.4 + openssl 1.0.1e running
[22:09] <SiliconG> I am having a hell of a time getting php to build
[22:09] <Camblonie> how can I go back to booting to command line?
[22:10] <schultza> well. I installed network-manager-openvpn. Set up my vpn connection and it worked on connecting. But when I connected, my dns resolving starts getting "REFUSED".
[22:10] <Camblonie> I installed lightdm and it wont let me log in, even as guest
[22:10] <elliotd123> Camblonie, you could do ctrl-alt-f1 to get to the command-line
[22:10] <schultza> Camblonie: CTRL+ALT+F1.. if its in a virtualbox, use HOST+F1.
[22:11] <hitsujiTMO> SiliconG: 13.10 has apache 2.4.6 php5.5 and openssl 1.0.1e ... is that not good enough?
[22:11] <axizor> Hey guys, I have a networking question
[22:11] <Camblonie> thank you
[22:11] <schultza> axizor: so do i. Whats yours?
[22:11] <SiliconG> really is 13.10 new?
[22:12] <bekks> SiliconG: Just check on packages.ubuntu.com
[22:12] <schultza> SiliconG: Since October 2013.
[22:12] <axizor> I'm running a samba server and my router has gigabit ports and when I upload files to the server, it transfers at gigabit speeds (~110MB/s) but downloading files from the server to the client is slow, around 9 MB/s
[22:12] <hitsujiTMO> since 10/13
[22:12] <axizor> i dont know if its the server or router
[22:13] <schultza> axizor: I think we need a little more information about how your network is setup. Is your samba server on the other side of your router?
[22:13] <axizor> yes schultza
[22:13] <schultza> axizor: Does your samba server only have 10Base-T cards?
[22:13] <axizor> no, gigabit
[22:14] <axizor> network under system prefs says 1000mb/s connection
[22:14] <axizor> so i know it's getting it
[22:14] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: you got a crossover cable?
[22:14] <schultza> Crossover for... oh. .for testing directly to the computer.
[22:14] <axizor> hitsujiTMO: crossover? what do you mean?
[22:15] <ausjke> is there a real light-weight webkit browser for me to use over ssh -X?
[22:15] <axizor> the server it just connected to the router via cat6 or 5e dont remember
[22:15] <ausjke> something like SDL-based, so I don't need that 200MB X-libraries
[22:15] <Sidze_> I have set up eth0:0 with <IP_ADDRESS>/16 network and I would like to configure my virtualbox vm with bridge network on this virtual eth0 interface but the th0:0 isn't available in the list of interface when I configure the vm network... anybody know if is works ?
[22:15] <schultza> axizor: Do you have direct access to the client and samba server at the same time physically? (in front of you?)
[22:15] <axizor> yes schultza
[22:15] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: a crossover cable can allow you to connect the server directly to the client and test without the router
[22:16] <axizor> you know, it used to work fine with another router
[22:16] <axizor> i just got a new one because i was having problems with the old one
[22:16] <axizor> ah, thanks hitsujiTMO didn't know that
[22:16] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable
[22:17] <schultza> axizor: Those cat5e/6 cables internally have 8 wires which are physically configured at the ports. A crossover cable has them differently configured than a straight through cable. A crossover cable here can allow you to directly connect both computers to each other to run a test for computer to computer speed. If Samba at that point is only uploading at 10 Mb/s, then you have a samba configuration issue.
[22:17] <schultza> axizor: no changes to the samba server, computer or samba itself during the new routeR?
[22:17] <axizor> should i reinstall samba? because I know it did work at one time
[22:17] <axizor> correct schultza
[22:18] <schultza> What happened to the old router?
[22:18] <axizor> it was very unstable with the internet connection
[22:18] <axizor> dropped repeatedly
[22:18] <axizor> tried installing ddwrt, gargoyle/openwrt
[22:18] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: do you still have it?
[22:18] <axizor> no luck'
[22:18] <axizor> yes i still have it
[22:18] <axizor> but samba is slow on that now :)
[22:18] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: test it with that. should still be able to operate as a dhcp + switch
[22:19] <axizor> i did before I got the new router
[22:19] <Esor> Can I ask for help?
[22:19] <axizor> it was so weird. like when switching from gargoyle to straight up openwrt, gigabit speeds went away and I was stuck at around 10MB/s download
[22:19] <schultza> Can you check to see if the router has a speed limit on the ports being used by both samba server and client?
[22:19] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: is it the same with any other type of service? http/nfs/sftp ?
[22:20] <schultza> Esor: do not ask to ask a question, just ask your question, please.
[22:20] <SiliconG> not an LTS
[22:20] <axizor> haven't tried hitsujiTMO
[22:20] <SiliconG> and I want to build the newest on 12
[22:20] <axizor> only server on my box is samba and dlna
[22:20] <schultza> Is dlna slower now?
[22:20] <axizor> i haven't noticed and don't know how to test dlna speed
[22:20] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: install openssh and test sftp speeds
[22:21] <schultza> that will work. :)
[22:21] <axizor> ok i will do that hitsujiTMO, is there an easy way to do that?
[22:21] <schultza> well. I installed network-manager-openvpn. Set up my vpn connection and it worked on connecting. But when I connected, my dns resolving starts getting "REFUSED". Is there some sort of firewall on dnsmasq?
[22:21] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: on the server: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[22:22] <Esor> I have got a weird issue. Primusrun works fine with nvidia and I can launch everything. The problem is whenever I use optirun It cannot find some libraries. It's pretty weird. Here's log from the console: http://pastebin.com/QeyKVWUz Please help.
[22:22] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: from the client: sftp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>                   then find a large file and: get filename
[22:23] <schultza> Esor: what vid card are you using?
[22:23] <schultza> By the sounds of it, you have Intel.
[22:23] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: looks like a bug in a script looking for '/usr/$LIB/libGL.so.1' instead of "/usr/$LIB/libGL.so.1"
[22:24] <Esor> I've got Intel and Nvidia
[22:24] <schultza> are both active or are you only using one of them right now?
[22:24] <Esor> I use primusrun or optirun to run apps on nvidia
[22:24] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: whats the output of: cat /etc/issue
[22:25] <Esor> Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
[22:25] <Esor> the weird thing is that primusrun works perfect fine
[22:25] <Esor> but optirun cannot find libraries
[22:26] <axizor> hitsujiTMO: what client should I use to connect via sftp
[22:26] <axizor> (i'm new to networking)
[22:26] <axizor> im on windows
[22:26] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: filezilla then
[22:26] <axizor> ok
[22:26] <Esor> Do you have any idea what might be wrong
[22:26] <k-rad> could someone kindly tell me if its possible to enable desktop effects in 12.03 lts ?
[22:27] <schultza> hitsujiTMO + Esor: can <https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/334> help his issue?
[22:27] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: whats wrong is a somehow a misswritten script. the paths are being quoted with ' instead of ""
[22:27] <yangm> hello, I'm having problems while following this tutorial http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto when I do the push it will not update the website neither will give me errors. any ideas?
[22:27] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: are you using any ppas?
[22:27] <Esor> xedgers
[22:28] <axizor> hitsujiTMO: whats the default port for open-ssh?
[22:28] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: 22
[22:28] <axizor> should login credentials be same as local user on the server?
[22:28] <hitsujiTMO> esor then their optirun script is using the wrong quote string. '' instead of ""
[22:28] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: server
[22:28] <schultza> axizor:  on the server.
[22:29] <Esor> hitsujiTMO, so why is primusrun working finr?
[22:29] <Esor> fine
[22:29] <yangm> I'm running a Ubuntu server on an AWS instance
[22:29] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: its not using the same script.
[22:29] <axizor> thanks, im in
[22:29] <yangm> *an
[22:29] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: whats the output of: which optirun
[22:31] <axizor> ok sftp transfers are running at around 100mb/s speeds, not gigabit :|
[22:31] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: is it showing speed in MB/s or Mb/s ?
[22:31] <axizor> MB/s
[22:32] <hitsujiTMO> saying 100MB/s ?
[22:32] <Pebbe> Sounds about right
[22:32] <axizor> no averaging around 10MB/s
[22:32] <Pebbe> :o
[22:32] <botsis> hitsujiTMO, FM is crashing on launch.. also, not my whole screened was filled with the game. i had green (like glxheads border the first time i launched, brown the second time)
[22:32] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: ahh
[22:32] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: is this happening with/without optirun ?
[22:33] <botsis> with
[22:33] <botsis> The program '[Berkelium]' received an X Window System error.
[22:33] <botsis> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[22:33] <botsis> The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
[22:33] <FloodBot1> botsis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:33] <waly_> hey guys, what is up. I just managed to fix all my troubles with wifi
[22:33] <botsis> ow sry.
[22:33] <waly_> all on my own
[22:33] <waly_> :D
[22:33] <Jordan_U> glundgren: What makes you think that space is being used up wothout files being written to?
[22:33] <axizor> hitsujiTMO: uploading to sftp is much faster, close to gigabit speeds. why do you think i'm not getting this speed downloading?
[22:33] <schultza> axizor: We are going to need a crossover cat5e/6 cable to bypass the router to test direct. I think there maybe a configuration issue with the router.
[22:34] <glundgren> Jordan_U: theres absolutely no chance of 11GB of free space be filled in 1 sec
[22:34] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: network card/driver/router
[22:34] <axizor> ok schultza... dont think i have one right now
[22:34] <glundgren> Jordan_U: and it says that has 11GB of free space, but, for the sys, its like have no free space
[22:34] <botsis> i find on google it's a screenshot bug? i tried to take a screen the first time i launched it, not the other times though
[22:35] <axizor> if its gigabit from client - router - server, then why not server - router - client? clearly all devices are demonstrating they can operate at gigabit speeds...
[22:35] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: weird
[22:35] <Jordan_U> glundgren: What filesystem are you using?
[22:35] <glundgren> Jordan_U: i dont know, its the ubuntu image of amazon EC2
[22:35] <danialbehzadi> hey all! I just entered "sudo startx" in terminal and I can not loging to my account in lightdm anymore. what's the problem?
[22:35] <glundgren> Jordan_U: the space doesnt get filled, i still have 11GB free
[22:35] <botsis> will restart steam see whats up
[22:36] <glundgren> Jordan_U: but the sys behaves like it doesnt have space
[22:36] <hitsujiTMO> danialbehzadi: NEVER run startx with sudo. its changed some of your files to be owned by root
[22:36] <glundgren> Jordan_U: im starting another server, a new server, but if you know some trick to fix, it will be very helpful
[22:37] <schultza> !networkmanager
[22:37] <hitsujiTMO> danialbehzadi: ctrl + alt + f1       log into terminal.      then: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME

[22:37] <Jordan_U> glundgren: So you aren't able to create new files? Something like "touch /tmp/test_file" fails?
[22:37] <waly_> guys I wanna setup ramdisk on my machine and play minecraft through it. I found a guide online but not sure about it. I wanna know if there has been major changes between ubuntu 10.10 to ubuntu 13.10
[22:37] <glundgren> Jordan_U: nop
[22:38] <waly_> here is the guide http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/204930-howto-ramdisk-minecraft-in-ubuntu-1010/
[22:38] <glundgren> Jordan_U: it worked, doesnt raise any errors
[22:39] <glundgren> Jordan_U: but if i open this file in vim, for example, vim says that has no swap space
[22:39] <Jordan_U> waly_: I doubt that you'll gain much from such a setup, the kernel is good at caching file contents for performance automatically.
[22:39] <danialbehzadi> hitsujiTMO: Thanks, I did it by sudo chown danialbehzadi:danialbehzadi ~/.*
[22:39] <waly_> you mean that I won't need a ramdisk
[22:40] <Jordan_U> glundgren: What about "echo not empty > /tmp/test_small_file"?
[22:40] <glundgren> Jordan_U: man, now it is working
[22:40] <waly_> I was able to get from 50 fps to over 120 fps in windows, but not sure how it works in ubuntu
[22:40] <glundgren> but soon it will fail
[22:40] <glundgren> Jordan_U: its unstable you know, very weird
[22:41] <Jordan_U> glundgren: What services are currently running on this server?
[22:41] <glundgren> Jordan_U: for example, the wordpress cant even accept a upload, says that doesn have access to temp folder
[22:41] <glundgren> Jordan_U: how can i see?
[22:41] <axizor> hitsujiTMO: are you a dev?
[22:41] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: dev yes. ubuntu dev no
[22:42] <axizor> just curious, i usually see you on when i come to ask questions
[22:42] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: yeah i'm around a lot. keeps me from boredom :P
[22:42] <Jordan_U> glundgren: "Wordpress" is enough of an answer for now.
[22:43] <Jordan_U> glundgren: Please pastebin the output of "df -i".
[22:44] <kruger> Evening.
[22:44] <axizor> hitsujiTMO, in your opinion: should I test speeds between two other devices on the router, if they do work at gigabit speeds just do a clean install of ubuntu?
[22:44] <glundgren> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/naXV19dP
[22:44] <axizor> i dont have anything to lose, all my files are on a different drive then the OS
[22:45] <glundgren> Jordan_U: it seems that is most full with this -i option
[22:45] <Jordan_U> glundgren: Seems we've found the problem.
[22:45] <glundgren> Jordan_U: whats this -i ?
[22:46] <kruger> When running the command "ssh -vvv -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -lappe server.com > text.file", it creates the text.file, but does not fill it with anything. Is there something i have missunderstood with the output command?
[22:46] <Jordan_U> glundgren: I think you'll find that something is creating a *lot* of small files.
[22:46] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: test different ports first. logically it suggests a config issue but difficult to know without thorough testing. one thing you could try is install and setup samba on a live iso and test that
[22:46] <axizor> good idea hitsujiTMO
[22:46] <botsis> hitsujiTMO, it just froze completely. had to get into tty to reboot my system. will try to run it without optirun
[22:46] <glundgren> Jordan_U: how can i find it?
[22:46] <danialbehzadi> hitsujiTMO: Now I'm connecting via graphical irc client. :) Thaks a lot dude ;)
[22:47] <axizor> i'll prob be back
[22:47] <hitsujiTMO> danialbehzadi: np :P
[22:47] <limegren> Just got weechat going on my Ubuntu Server woot woot
[22:47] <Jordan_U> glundgren: "i" for inodes. Ext4 allocates a certain number of inodes at filesystem creation time. Each file requires an inode.
[22:47] <glundgren> Jordan_U: theres a way to fix it? like a magic command? :P
[22:49] <Jordan_U> glundgren: You either need to delete a bunch of files (size of the files does not matter) and prevent more from building up, or make a new ext4 fs with allocation for more inodes.
[22:50] <glundgren> Jordan_U: i found a blog post talking about it, im searching for a folder with lots of files
[22:50] <glundgren> Jordan_U: http://superrb.com/blog/2011/10/25/ubuntu-no-space-left-on-device-is-it-a-lie-or-have-i-run-out-of-inodes
[22:50] <botsis> running smoothly without optirun now
[22:50] <botsis> strange
[22:51] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: what's the output of: optirun glxheads
[22:51] <glundgren> Jordan_U: its all in /var/tmp
[22:51] <glundgren> Jordan_U: let me see what it is
[22:52] <glundgren> Jordan_U: ls eturn nothing :////
[22:52] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: sudo ls /var/tmp
[22:53] <botsis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6764644/
[22:53] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: sorry: ls -a /var/tmp
[22:53] <glundgren> still nothing
[22:53] <glundgren> and it counts a lot of files
[22:54] <glundgren> it shows only . and ..
[22:54] <schultza> is there a way to test which dns server dnsmasq has in its list?
[22:54] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren:  mount | grep /var/tmp
[22:54] <glundgren> nothing
[22:54] <glundgren> im in sudo su
[22:54] <Jordan_U> hitsujiTMO: sudo lsof | grep /var/tmp | less
[22:56] <axizor> Hey hitsujiTMO would installing OpenSSh on a live ISO be a fair test too
[22:56] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: nothing...
[22:56] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: yup
[22:56] <axizor> Thanks
[22:56] <glundgren> can i delete the /var/tmp ?
[22:56] <glundgren> sudo rm /var/tmp ?
[22:57] <ikonia> glundgren: works fine
[22:57] <ikonia> glundgren: (-r)
[22:57] <glundgren> sudo rm -R /var/tmp ?
[22:57] <ikonia> glundgren: why do you want to do this /
[22:58] <glundgren> ikonia: theres a lot of files that is filling my inodes
[22:58] <axizor> hitsujiTMO: can't install openssh server so samba on live ISO: held broken packages
[22:58] <axizor> or samba**
[22:58] <ikonia> glundgren: there shouldn't be that many files, what are they and what created them ?
[22:58] <glundgren> ikonia: although i have disk space, i cant do anything because of these inodes
[22:58] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: sudo apt-get update     first
[22:58] <glundgren> ikonia: i dont know, i think its something to do with a major failure in ec2 some months ago
[22:59] <ikonia> glundgren: this is an ec2 instance ?
[22:59] <glundgren> the disks were broken
[22:59] <glundgren> ikonia: yep
[22:59] <glundgren> then i restored the disk, and these problems began
[22:59] <ikonia> glundgren: that shouldn't fill up /var/tmp
[22:59] <blz> Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu-server to an LVM-on-RAID5 volume.  The installer runs its course and then fails when trying to install the bootloader.  I've tried installing to /dev/sda, /dev/mapper/md-0 and /dev/mapper/md-1, to no avail.  What gives?
[22:59] <ikonia> glundgren:"restored" the disk
[22:59] <ikonia> glundgren: can you explain ?
[22:59] <blz> Also please note that these are 3 gpt-partitioned drives (>2Tb)
[22:59] <ikonia> glundgren: it seems unlikely you can restore data if you don't know how to remove a directory
[22:59] <glundgren> ikonia: i had to detach, create another, and then restore the volume, something like that
[23:00] <ikonia> $something like that ??
[23:00] <botsis> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6764644/
[23:00] <glundgren> ikonia: it was made in the ec2 interface
[23:00] <Mace268> can someone tell me how to restart unity without it then being tied to a terminal?
[23:00] <ikonia> glundgren: this sounds like bad managment, /var/tmp should not be filled like that,
[23:01] <filosofixit> I'm having some really annoying issues with the menubar. All the options are greyed out in all applications except nautilus and firefox... Shotwell, Gimp, Bluefish etc does not have working menubars... I'm the only user that have this issue on this computer so I guess the problem lies in some kind of setting... Does anyeone have a clue where I should look to resolve this problem ?
[23:01] <ikonia> glundgren: as you don't know the command to delete a directory it seems unlikley that you should be managing this system, let alone trying to restore data
[23:01] <glundgren> ikonia: yeah, i think it is bad management too
[23:01] <hitsujiTMO> botsis: not seeing anything that would suggest what the issue is ... maybe a good idea to try nvidia-319 instead
[23:01] <glundgren> ikonia: i know how to delete, hehe, i was asking if its fine to delete /var/tmp
[23:02] <ikonia> it's temp data
[23:02] <glundgren> ikonia: i usually set rails servers in amazon instances, its pretty straightforward
[23:02] <ikonia> glundgren: sorry - not buying this,
[23:03] <glundgren> ikonia: rvm, ruby, gem rails --version=3.2.8
[23:03] <ikonia> massive fail there
[23:03] <glundgren> ?
[23:03] <ikonia> I'll leave you to it
[23:03] <glundgren> ok
[23:03] <glundgren> thanks
[23:04] <axizor> ok hitsujiTMO I get full gigabit speeds on the live ISO- time for a clean install?
[23:04] <glundgren> ikonia: lets put this way, i can talk a second language, but i cant write a book
[23:04] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: possibly :(
[23:04] <ikonia> glundgren: I have no idea what that means or how it fits into your conversation with me
[23:04] <hitsujiTMO> axizor: might be the fastest fix
[23:04] <glundgren> ikonia: i can talk linux language, but i dont know all the details
[23:04] <ikonia> glundgren: sorry, I don't believe you can
[23:04] <axizor> It's fine, I only run a few services and all my files are on another drive :)
[23:05] <glundgren> ikonia: wahts wrong with you man?
[23:05] <axizor> thanks so much for everything hitsujiTMO
[23:05] <glundgren> ikonia: freak
[23:05] <Jordan_U> glundgren: sudo lsof | grep /var/tmp
[23:05] <ikonia> glundgren: please don't call people names
[23:06] <Jordan_U> glundgren: Personal insults are not acceptable in this channel.
[23:06] <Michael87> so I'm planning on changing my login sound to The sound of Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat Laughing and then when I login I want the sound of him sayying "Excelent!" I just downloaded a program called Sound converter from the ubuntu software store.  Please stop using personal insults now.
[23:09] <glundgren> Jordan_U: man, thanks for the help, i appreciate very much, i stop because you are asking me to do so
[23:10] <schultza> is there a good dnsmasq and network-manager guide out there that will take this newb (me) to an expert?
[23:10] <BAPEsta> Hey guys, how long does step 8 usually take? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[23:12] <schultza> BAPEsta: how big is the image you are using to make the usb?
[23:12] <Guest79782> xfce prompts for login password - how can I change it to auto login
[23:12] <Jordan_U> glundgren: Did "sudo lsof | grep /var/tmp/" print anything?
[23:12] <BAPEsta> schultza, about 800mb
[23:12] <glundgren> broken pipe, let me connect again
[23:12] <Michael87> could anyone help me change the drum sound when ubuntu starts and add a sound to when I login?
[23:13] <schultza> BAPEsta: find the proccess id of dd
[23:13] <glundgren> Jordan_U: it took a while, like it was doiing something, then return nothing
[23:13] <schultza> oh..nvm that wont work.
[23:13] <BAPEsta> schultza I think it worked now
[23:14] <glundgren> Jordan_U: i think i will delete it and wait to see if it happens again
[23:14] <BAPEsta> schultza http://puu.sh/6npXq
[23:15] <schultza> BAPEsta: for future ref.. watch progress of dd with pv --> <http://askubuntu.com/questions/215505/how-do-you-monitor-the-progress-of-dd>
[23:15] <botsis> damn, now my game crashed while in game. just clicked some confirm
[23:16] <BAPEsta> schultza thanks man
[23:17] <Jordan_U> glundgren: /var/tmp/ clearly has nothing in it, I'm not sure why you suspected that it was the problem but it's a red herring.
[23:18] <glundgren> Jordan_U: yeah, im doing that search i saw in the blog again
[23:18] <glundgren> Jordan_U: i deleted but nothing changed to the inodes
[23:19] <Jordan_U> glundgren: If you just run "sudo find / -xdev > /tmp/file_list.txt" you should be able to easily see the problem just by scrolling through the resulting file.
[23:19] <glundgren> Jordan_U: i will try
[23:20] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: can you pastebin the output of: mount
[23:20] <Mace268> can someone tell me how to restart unity without it then being tied to a terminal? All my desktop icons have vanished.
[23:20] <Jordan_U> glundgren: sudo mkdir /var/tmp/ # It's important to have this directory.
[23:23] <glitsj16> Mace268: Alt+F2, type "unity --replace" and hit enter
[23:23] <glundgren> guys
[23:23] <glundgren> /var/spool - 1190549 files
[23:23] <Mace268> glitsj16, thank you
[23:24] <glundgren> i thought it was the /tmp
[23:24] <glundgren> but is that /spool
[23:24] <glundgren> theres a folder called mqueue
[23:24] <glundgren> that is the source of the problem
[23:24] <glundgren> Jordan_U: found it man!!!
[23:25] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: dpkg -S /var/spool/mqueue
[23:25] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: what it does?
[23:26] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: find the package responsible you you can get more info on the cause
[23:26] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: thanks!
[23:26] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: sendmail-bin: /var/spool/mqueue
[23:26] <glundgren> its a configuration of sendmail ?
[23:26] <glundgren> that is causing it?
[23:27] <hitsujiTMO> looks like it.
[23:27] <glundgren> i guess uninstalling is not an option...
[23:28] <Mace268> glitsj16, that took unity completely down lol, had to ctrl-alt-backspace
[23:28] <hitsujiTMO> depends on what you're using sendmail for
[23:28] <quaresma>  /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER quaresma zjvgkylpyoci
[23:29] <daftykins> quaresma: er, you might want to run such commands in the status window
[23:29] <daftykins> unless you were faking
[23:29] <glitsj16> Mace268: it shouldn't do that .. is your unity back to normal?
[23:29] <quaresma> not lol
[23:29] <quaresma> it has a space on the begining
[23:29] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/op-sh-1.html might be a good idea to read up on what its for. seems to be in essence, your outbox. would you normally be sending 1000000 mails?
[23:29] <Mace268> glitsj16, yes after the ctrl-alt-backspace it came up fine
[23:29] <jeffrey_f> quaresma: need new password now   :D
[23:30] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: absolutely nothing, it was a clean ubuntu with apache and php
[23:30] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: maybe its a virus, or was hacked?
[23:30] <hitsujiTMO> glundgren: maybe the servers been compromised and used for spam ?
[23:31] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: its amazon ec2 instance
[23:31] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: some weeks ago, it was under a massive failure, and then started this things
[23:31] <glitsj16> Mace268: oh well, i'll make a note never to suggest that again without warning :)
[23:31] <barntzen> ugh
[23:31] <barntzen> a spambot posted my username in chat last night
[23:31] <barntzen> I had to scroll up to see it
[23:31] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO:  maybe it was being used to spam, they discovered, and everything got fucked up
[23:32] <glundgren> hitsujiTMO: ???
[23:32] <ikonia> glundgren: stop with the language please,
[23:32] <glundgren> ikonia: go find a girlfirend
[23:32] <glundgren> ikonia: not talking to you
[23:33] <jpedroza2k> Some people's children.
[23:37] <ROPA> has anyone here actually written an entire operating system and home folder to a ram drive and ran ubuntu completely from ram????
[23:38] <Jordan_U> ROPA: Yes.
[23:38] <ROPA> Jordan_U can you give some details or a web reference/how to do it???
[23:39] <Jordan_U> ROPA: And you can get a decent approximation of it by booting an Ubuntu LiveCD with the kernel parameter "toram". You'll find that it's not a holy grail of performance though.
[23:41] <ROPA> Jordan_U I'd like to install 16 GB of ram in my desktop and run EVERYTHING from ram, during periods of low processor usage, I'd like to slow the clock speed of the system down so it doesn't use as much power.
[23:42] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> hi guys
[23:42] <Jordan_U> ROPA: If you have 16 GiB of RAM then for the most part every file you read will be cached in RAM and never re-read from disk a second time anyway (depending on what type of things you do of course).
[23:42] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> does anybody is online? i've got a probelm wirh xubuntu.. i dunno why firefox lags like an horse while chromium is really smooth and speedy
[23:43] <ROPA> Jordan_U I haven't heard or 'toram' before, will look it up. I have an SSD, which is fast, but concerned about the finite number of write cycles before it wears out....so thought I might play with a ram drive.
[23:43] <Jordan_U> ROPA: Also, putting the CPU into low C-staes when idle (much better than just under clocking WRT power usage) is also done automatically.
[23:43] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> nobody knows?
[23:45] <AlcoLeVecchiPens>  i've got a probelm wirh xubuntu.. i dunno why firefox lags like an horse while chromium is really smooth and speedy
[23:45] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> *with
[23:45] <ROPA> Jordan_U I've had a watt meter hooked up to my system for several weeks, I see almost no variation in the amount of power the system uses though.......which is why I started thinking about ram drive and lower cpu clocking speeds.
[23:46] <jeffrey_f> AlcoLeVecchiPens:  You may want to disable all add-ons or just back up your bookmarks then remove the .mozilla folder from your home folder.  Usually this starts a clean/vanilla firefox next time you launch firefox.
[23:47] <Esor> hitsujiTMO, ~$ which optirun
[23:47] <Jordan_U> ROPA: Try running a LiveCD with and without "toram" and with and without underclocking and check with your watt meter to see if it helps. My guess is that it won't.
[23:47] <ROPA> Jordan_U thanks so much for the insight, and to all who run this irc channel.
[23:47] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> jeffrey_f, thank you, do you think it can be the fact i have a lot of history and all the other datas saved from firefox such as cookies?? anyway i deleted the cache
[23:47] <Esor> hitsujiTMO,  /usr/bin/optirun
[23:47] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: can you pastebin the contents of: /usr/bin/optirun
[23:48] <humbolt1> partition alignment is giving me trouble, can somebody give guidance?!
[23:48] <Jordan_U> humbolt1: What problem are you having specifically?
[23:48] <humbolt1> parted says my partition is not in "optimal" alignment. blockdev --getalignoff says it is.
[23:48] <Esor> hitsujiTMO, ELF
[23:48] <Esor> that's inside
[23:49] <humbolt1> so, how important is this. I have an SSD.
[23:49] <jeffrey_f> AlcoLeVecchiPens: that could be a small part of it.  Many times it is a mis-behaving or even partially corrupt add-on.  However, starting fresh is easier.  If firefox is faster, then troubleshooting the many variables
[23:49] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: ahh its a binary.
[23:50] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: One could say, my problem is insufficient knowledge about what is important and what is not.
[23:50] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> jeffrey_f, thank you, i'm gonna remove mozilla folder and try if somethings gonna change
[23:51] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: With an SSD, do I have to respect the 2048 byte/block/don't-know alignment?!
[23:51] <hitsujiTMO> Esor: I'd have to go thru every file in the package to find the miswritten script. But i don't have it i'm afraid. hopefully a fix will be applied soon
[23:51] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: or is sector alignment enough?
[23:51] <Jordan_U> humbolt1: If your partitions are aligned on MiB boundaries then you're OK. Every modern tool worth using (including Ubuntu's installer) automatically aligns to MiB boundaries.
[23:52] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: I am on 12.04 LTS
[23:52] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: is that sufficiently modern?
[23:52] <Jordan_U> humbolt1: Yes.
[23:52] <gmachine_24> greetings earthlings. I am looking to add a tV tuner card to a recent Ubuntu server build (13.x, 64 bit). Is it ok to ask about mythtv in here or do I need to go to the mythbuntu site?
[23:53] <Jordan_U> humbolt1: If you want to know more about the details http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/advice.html is informative, but what I've said is all you really need to know.
[23:53] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: Which means, using fdisk or cfdisk, I can just not give a shit and let them do, whatever they propose?!
[23:54] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> have a good night guys, thank you
[23:54] <gmachine_24> er, language please
[23:56] <Jordan_U> humbolt1: Please watch your language. I think fdisk and cfdisk only recently (can't remember how recently) started aligning on MiB boundaries by default. I would recommend parted or one of its front ends like GParted.
[23:56] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> guys, which is the OT chan?
[23:56] <hitsujiTMO> #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:57] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> thank you
[23:58] <humbolt1> Jordan_U: I have seen fdisk propose 2048 as a starting point. But my 12.04 version does not seem to do that yet (start 63).
