[08:20] <trijntje> sam__: you could take a look at ubuntu-defaults-builder, which allows you to create a custom iso image
[08:20] <trijntje> However, due to a bug this will not work for Quantal 64 bit
[08:21] <NuSuey> mladoux: yeah. but last time, when It threw my GRUB into trash, I had quite some problems to put the grub back in :p
[08:22] <Ben64> NuSuey: you could back up grub and put it back :D
[08:22] <mladoux> NuSuey: do you have /boot on it's own partition?
[08:23] <mladoux> because if you do, a real easy way to fix it is to run the ubuntu livecd, then mount your boot partition to /boot on the live cd, then run grub-install or grub-setup with /dev/sda ( no number, replace sda with your configuration ) as the target
[08:24] <mladoux> can't remember if it's grub-setup or grub-install
[08:24] <mladoux> I had to do it a couple days ago.
[08:24] <Ben64> back up is easier
[08:24] <mladoux> relatively
[08:25] <NuSuey> mladoux: nope :/ but.. I'll probably try it.. yeah. last time I did it so, *nearst* helped me.. booted the partition, did some mount this and that.. grub-setup.. and voila
[08:25] <mladoux> mbr is just the first 512 on your hdd, i think
[08:25] <Ben64> dd if=<boot drive> of=boot_backup bs=512 count=1
[08:25] <sam__> somsip: thanx!  that looks like a nice project!
[08:25] <Ben64> or similar
[08:25] <sam__> might work..
[08:25] <sam__> i was busy looking at AptoCD
[08:26] <mladoux> yeah, but you want to know for sure before you do it, backing up isn't really easier, just geekier
[08:26] <sam__> and remastersys
[08:27] <pigeta> hi guys
[08:27] <mladoux> hello
[08:27] <pigeta> i cant install my digitune dvb-t s
[08:27] <pigeta> i follow the wiki

[08:28] <pigeta> when i type : sudo w_scan -fc -X >> /etc/vdr/channels.conf
[08:29] <pigeta> it say to me :main:3079: FATAL: ***** NO USEABLE DVB-C CARD FOUND. *****Please check wether dvb driver is loaded and verify that no dvb application (i.e. vdr) is running
[08:30] <somsip> sam__: pure luck. Hope it's useful for you :)

[08:30] <Sizur> guys, why is no conkeror package in standard repos?
[08:31] <shanecowherd> how can I open port 80 for a node.js app on 12.04? I tried port forwarding but I can't get it to work, thanks
[08:31] <somsip> Sizur: konkeror? The KDE app?
[08:31] <iceroot> Sizur: long time replaces with dolphin
[08:31] <iceroot> replaced
[08:32] <kPb_in> somsip: thanks :)
[08:33] <somsip> kPb_in: np
[08:34] <kPb_in> somsip: created a tail file
[08:34] <kPb_in> that worked
[08:34] <Sizur> i find conkeror pretty critical tool :(
[08:34] <dr_willis> Konqueror
[08:34] <hexstatik> does anyone know how to lower the mouse sensitivity and get rid of mouse accel completely?
[08:35] <somsip> Sizur: you mean this? http://conkeror.org/
[08:36] <dr_willis> file managers are so fun
[08:37] <dr_willis> dozens of alternative file managers out there. sort of sad the current in file manager 'features' is the removal of features.
[08:37] <MonkeyDust> ranger is a sweet CLI file manager
[08:38] <dr_willis> im used to mc. ;)
[08:38] <Eagleman> How does bind forwards request for some dns names to dns zones?
[08:43] <hexstatik> i am trying to lower the mouse sensitivity and remove the acceleration and looks like i found some props via xinput, but my question is how do i make this permanent? each time i reboot it switches back
[08:44] <gIneeRing> Anyone clever with marketing? For a android service campaign.

[08:48] <blim> how to enabled 32 bit emulation under ALSA?

[08:58] <dr_willis> blim:  why do you think you need to?
[08:58] <negev> hi, i just installed a grub update on a server with software raid and it's segfaulting trying to install to /dev/md1, do i need a special parameter or something?
[08:59] <MonkeyDust> negev  #ubuntu-server
[08:59] <negev> thanks
[09:00] <pigeta> any help?
[09:00] <blim> when trying to run doom3 I keep getting the same error "WARNING: sound subsystem disabled"
[09:00] <MonkeyDust> pigeta  start with a question
[09:01] <pigeta> i do before (09:27:36)
[09:01] <Sehnder_> Hey folks, looking for a bit of insight to solve an install problem. Running windows 7 x64 and trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 x32. Using LiLi USB creator I can create x64 for both 12.10 and 12.04 and be recognized when booting, but it is not detected if I use x32 instead.
[09:01] <Sehnder_> Is that a windows version to linux version issue when booting, or a usb creator issue.
[09:02] <MonkeyDust> pigeta  better repeat it, this is a busy channel and some people entered after 9:27
[09:02] <dr_willis> Sehnder_:  you did verify the md5s of the images? try a tool other then LiLi?
[09:02] <pigeta> install Bus 002 Device 003: ID 13d3:3219 IMC Networks DTV-DVB UDTT7049 - DVB-T Driver(Without HID)
[09:02] <pigeta> on ubuntu
[09:02] <pigeta> need driver
[09:03] <pigeta> cant find
[09:03] <Sehnder_> Do you have any recommendations for a tool to mount the install other than lili?
[09:03] <Sehnder_> Not familiar with md5 images or how to verify
[09:03] <Sehnder_> I am very much a novice
[09:03] <dr_willis> Sehnder_:  i fine most anything at the pendrivelinux site better then lili
[09:03] <dr_willis> !md5
[09:04] <dr_willis> if 64bit works.. why not use 64bit?
[09:04] <HonestAbe> att is well deserving of a dickpunching
[09:04] <HonestAbe> whoops, wrong channel, but my sentiments remain
[09:05] <Sehnder_> 64 bit for Ubuntu had some major issues for me
[09:05] <Sehnder_> I could not get the video drivers to work properly despite using four different sets of drivers
[09:06] <Sehnder_> I was told a stable release in 32 bit might have better odds for me
[09:06] <dr_willis> hmm. cant say ive had any video driver issues with  64bit in years
[09:06] <Sehnder_> the default drivers can't load anything but using alternative drivers removes the side bars and launch items from the screen
[09:07] <Sehnder_> As I didn't know the command to restart and couldnt click the button I had to do a hard reset, giving me a kernel crisis or some such
[09:07] <coreyb> anyone know why fubuntu is invite only right now?
[09:07] <coreyb> #fubuntu
[09:08] <Sehnder_> After that i decided a different version may be helpful
[09:08] <dr_willis> perhaps its regiestered nicks only coreyb
[09:08] <genteor> hi guys, i use dual booting- need to be ubuntu my first option instead of windows, how to fix that?
[09:08] <krz> hi
[09:08] <dr_willis> hmm.  ubuntu is the first option on all my dual boot machines
[09:09] <coreyb> dr_willis are you able to join? to confirm your theory?
[09:09] <iseer> Hey i have a dvb-t device that came pre-installed on my laptop but am unable to tell what it is and i cant find its product id referenced anywhere online can somebody help me please?
[09:09] <krz> does the wubi installer do everything, if i were to install from a cd?
[09:09] <dr_willis> coreyb:  havent tried.. you can regiester and try
[09:09] <dr_willis> krz:  it installs to a file/dir on the windows partition.  but once running its mostly the same
[09:10] <dr_willis> krz:  most peoplr avoid wubi. it can be flakey
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> krz  it's a limited pseudo-installation
[09:10] <krz> damn, i downloaded the desktop version, but realized it was an 800mb iso file
[09:10] <krz> only got a 700 cdr
[09:11] <dr_willis> use a usb is the normal method. or a dvd
[09:11] <dr_willis> 12.04 fits on cd
[09:11] <jirido> Hi when i try to run gparted it does not start so i tryed trough terminal and get it saying that gtkrc:114: Murrine configuration option "gradients" is no longer supported and will be ignored. does anyone have any idea?
[09:12] <dr_willis> jirido:  thats a warning and not critical
[09:12] <dr_willis> try gksudo gparted ?
[09:12] <krz> usb would be the same as dvd ?
[09:13] <krz> no limitations, as noticed with wubi?
[09:13] <dr_willis> krz:  boot usb.. install.. same as from dvd
[09:13] <musca> genteor: i like rebooting to the last choosen OS  http://ubuntuguide.net/let-grub2-remember-and-auto-select-last-entry-you-booted
[09:13] <aeon-ltd> jirido: try a diff gtk theme
[09:13] <jirido> dr_willis, Itryed just that
[09:13] <jirido> How do i set gtk theme?
[09:13] <krz> k
[09:14] <dr_willis> i use the various tweak tools
[09:14] <Sehnder_> The hash test passed so it looks like a different USB loader might be the answer
[09:15] <jirido> I have used so many different tools to try to get my linux look as i want that im totaly lost :)
[09:15] <Sehnder_> Although even using the wubi installer had issues- it can't complete copying to the drive I designate
[09:15] <genteor> *musca*thnx, i will see to it!
[09:16] <MonkeyDu1t> Sehnder_  yes, wubi is very limited, better not use it
[09:17] <jirido> Is there some sensible guide to linux gui? Im all lost
[09:17] <MonkeyDust> jirido  how did you learn other GUI's, from other OS's ?
[09:18] <dr_willis> !manual | jirido
[09:18] <MonkeyDust> jirido  find Nixie Pixel on youtube, you'll see why
[09:18] <lhavelund> jirido: The Ubuntu Manual is definitely what you want.
[09:19] <coreyb> what about fubuntu!
[09:19] <hexstatik> i am trying to lower the mouse sensitivity and remove the acceleration and looks like i found some props via xinput, but my question is how do i make this permanent? each time i reboot it switches back
[09:19] <jirido> How for an example is openbox related to gtk theme or gnome color?
[09:19] <dr_willis> coreyb:  last i looked that wasent even ubuntu based..
[09:19] <gIneeRing> Anyone in here have any business ambitions? Looking to make some money?
[09:19] <hexstatik> how can i make an auto config/bash for something like this 'xinput set-prop "Logitech Gaming Mouse G100" 269 1.1'
[09:19] <jirido> Ok i look
[09:19] <dr_willis> coreyb:  and not really ot here
[09:19] <MonkeyDust> gIneeRing  #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:19] <lhavelund> jirido: OpenBox is a window manager, not a desktop shell. It doesn't control the buttons or panels, only the decorations.
[09:19] <Sehnder_> Alright, new boot usb created. Wish me luck folks, and thanks for all your help.
[09:20] <gIneeRing> thanks MonkeyDust
[09:20] <hexstatik> gl
[09:20] <hexstatik> dont fry your ssd like me
[09:20] <Sehnder_> The night is young :P
[09:20] <lhavelund> jirido: For the most part, if you're curious what something does, look up its documentation :)
[09:21] <sexxxxy> hey guys/girls
[09:22] <sexxxxy> do you know if it's possible to extract only a specific directory from a CPIO archive?
[09:22] <HonestAbe> that's not the question i was hoping you were going to ask
[09:23] <dr_willis> sexxxxy:  i seem to recall using  the 'mc' file manager to extract parts of a cpio archive as if it was a directory.. years ago
[09:23] <dr_willis> cpio is used by rpms?
[09:24] <MonkeyDust> !find cpio
[09:26] <bentinata> hey
[09:26] <hexstatik> how can i make an auto config/bash for something like this 'xinput set-prop "Logitech Gaming Mouse G100" 269 1.1'?
[09:27] <hexstatik> its for changing the mouse sensitivity, but i need it be applied always
[09:27] <dr_willis> hexstatik:  if you have a command to tweak it. you can auto run the command at login
[09:27] <bentinata> oh
[09:27] <MonkeyDust> hexstatik  or ask in #bash
[09:27] <dr_willis> in  your .config/autostart directory
[09:27] <bentinata> type !bin/bash
[09:27] <dr_willis> a shell script will do it
[09:28] <bentinata> #!/bin/bash
[09:29] <bentinata> xinput set-prop "Logitech Gaming Mouse G100" 269 1.1
[09:29] <hexstatik> in terminal?
[09:29] <dr_willis> into a shell script
[09:29] <dr_willis> a file. ;)
[09:30] <hexstatik> and store it where? .config/autostart?
[09:30] <dr_willis> gedit mymousetweaks.sh
[09:30] <dr_willis> yes. in that auto dir.
[09:30] <dr_willis> make sure its executable also
[09:30] <bentinata> yes
[09:31] <hexstatik> okie doki :)
[09:31] <hexstatik> thanks
[09:32] <hexstatik> chmod +x mousesens.ch right?
[09:32] <hexstatik> to make sure its executable?
[09:33] <bentinata> yupp
[09:34] <Sehnder> When trying to install ubuntu 12.04 32x, it boots to a black screen with a flashing cursor
[09:34] <Sehnder> From where I cannot take any further action
[09:34] <Sehnder> Anyone experienced this or know of any solutions off hand?
[09:34] <Sehnder> All I have gathered is that it is hardware related, but no notes anywhere on how to resolve
[09:34] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset | Sehnder
[09:36] <bentinata> anyone
[09:36] <bentinata> I'm new on IRC
[09:36] <hexstatik_> chmod +x mousesens.ch right?
[09:37] <hexstatik_> to make sure the shell script is executable
[09:37] <bentinata> just name it "mousesens" is okey
[09:37] <bentinata> sudo chmod +x mousesens
[09:38] <bentinata> I'm using xchat
[09:38] <bentinata> how to disable
[09:38] <bentinata> this people log
[09:38] <bentinata> "has joined #ubuntu"
[09:38] <bentinata> ?
[09:38] <bentinata> any help?
[09:39] <bentinata> this people statuses fill my screen
[09:39] <MonkeyDust> bentinata  don't hit the enter key too often, it's getting a headache
[09:40] <llutz> bentinata: rightclick on the channel-tab, there's a setting
[09:41] <Sehnder> I looked at the boot options link but I am not sure how to address that in my case. I never actually get to a purple screen from which I can select options- it just goes directly to a black screen with a flashing cursor.
[09:41] <bentinata> llutz, okay, after that?
[09:41] <Sehnder> More odd still because the x64 loads to the options screen without issue
[09:42] <aranw> Am unable to apt-get update on 12.04 LTS, what could be the cause of 404 errors on apt-get?
[09:42] <llutz> bentinata: uncheck "show join/part messages" and you're done
[09:42] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> aranw  my first thought: a PPA -- type sudo apt-get update|pastebinit and type the url here in the channel
[09:43] <MonkeyDust> paste the url..*
[09:43] <bentinata> llutz, thanks
[09:43] <aranw> MonkeyDust: 1 minute then
[09:45] <aranw> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/a7PHJJyV
[09:46] <MonkeyDust> aranw  firstly: i see a mix of amd64 and i386
[09:46] <aranw> oh yeah
[09:46] <aranw> :S
[09:46] <aranw> this is a default installation from a ISO provided by my VM host
[09:47] <aranw> only option I selected during install was OpenSSH
[09:49] <aranw> MonkeyDust: any ideas whats happened?
[09:50] <MonkeyDust> aranw  it's only the 'us.archive.ubuntu' that gives error (the archive)
[09:50] <mr_lou> Hello
[09:51] <MonkeyDust> aranw  disable that repo and try again
[09:52] <mr_lou> I'm having a little mounting issue. Mounting an external USB harddisk with sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbdisk. That's fine. Then I create a folder. sudo mkdir /mnt/usbdisk/hello. Also fine. But when I do sudo echo Hi > /mnt/usbdisk/hello/yo.txt then I'm getting a Permission denied. What am I missing?
[09:52] <sstrikE> hey guys i need some help anyone willing to share some of their knowledge?
[09:52] <llutz> mr_lou: use " echo Hi |sudo tee /mnt/usbdisk/hello/yo.txt"    you cannot use sudo echo, it wont traverse the > redirection
[09:53] <mr_lou> llutz, Oh.... thanks. Didn't know that.
[09:53] <ndee> to share data between two servers which are right next to each other, is NFS still the way to go?
[09:54] <mr_lou> llutz, Can I use that | sudo tee thingy with a mysqldump command the same way?
[09:55] <llutz> mr_lou: sure
[09:55] <olala22000> hi good morning
[09:55] <mr_lou> llutz, Awesome. :-) Thanks.
[09:56] <sstrikE> Guys if i have an .exe and want to run it and it says that the file is locked only on a certain cpu can i unlock it to work on my cpu?
[09:56] <llutz> mr_lou: "tee" just reads stdin and writes to whatever you tell it to do
[09:56] <savagecroc> how can i get just the pid for the process that starts with "nginx: master process"?
[09:56] <llutz> sstrikE: 1. linux systems don't use .exe 2. whats the exact message you get?
[09:57] <savagecroc> i've been playing around with awk.. but no luck
[09:57] <llutz> !pastebin | sstrikE
[09:57] <sstrikE> oh i`m sory i thought this was for windows too,my bad
[09:57] <mr_lou> llutz, Neat. Looking at man tee it doesn't seem there's a -quiet option? It's spitting all my database out in the prompt as well. Any way to prevent that?
[09:58] <sstrikE> could someone redirect me to a windows irc channel? :) tyalot
[09:59] <dufa> savagecroc: you could use ps aux | grep | cut
[09:59] <aeon-ltd> sstrikE: #windows ?
[09:59] <sstrikE> ty a lot
[09:59] <aeon-ltd> sstrikE: ##windows ?
[09:59] <lhavelund> sstrikE: ##windows is what you want.
[10:00] <savagecroc> dufa
[10:00] <savagecroc> ok
[10:04] <savagecroc> hmm  ps aux | grep 'nginxfff: master proces' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' || echo 'NOT_FOUND' << this works except the echo not found doesn't pipe out if awk is empty
[10:05] <llutz> savagecroc: pgrep "nginx: master process"
[10:07] <savagecroc> llutz: pgrep is not working for me
[10:07] <llutz> savagecroc: pgrep -f
[10:08] <savagecroc> ah awesome much better ;)
[10:08] <savagecroc> thankyou
[10:08] <t0bis> Hi there !
[10:09] <t0bis> Does anyone available for a hand on Vhosts configuration for an Apache2 server ?
[10:09] <NAndo> hi
[10:09] <NAndo> can some one help me with native development
[10:09] <NAndo> of ubuntu app?
[10:10] <VictorCL> someone told me to fix this yesterday
[10:10] <VictorCL> echo extension=oci8.so >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to add sudo  echo extension=oci8.so sudo tee -a /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[10:10] <VictorCL> something like that but I forgot the exact command :/
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> NAndo  #ubuntu-app-devel
[10:11] <llutz> VictorCL:  echo extension=oci8.so | sudo tee -a /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[10:11] <VictorCL> ah yes
[10:11] <VictorCL> xD thanks , will write it down this time
[10:11] <hexstatik_> is three a quick way to see the desktop? as in minimize all?
[10:11] <hexstatik_> there*
[10:12] <savagecroc> llutz: i run it from a script and now i get two pids back.. i'm assuming one is from the grep
[10:12] <ladisone> hallo
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> hexstatik_  ctrl-super-d
[10:12] <savagecroc> llutz: https://gist.github.com/e2568d6bccf8e615e82e
[10:12] <llutz> savagecroc: pgrep never gives its own pid back, so you got 2 macthcing processes running
[10:13] <savagecroc> llutz: it's really strange when i run it through bash, it doesnt
[10:13] <llutz> matching*
[10:13] <savagecroc> llutz: when i execute through an ssh channel, i get two pids coming back
[10:13] <hexstatik_> umm whats super lol
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> hexstatik_  the 'windows-key'
[10:13] <hexstatik_> yea i tried
[10:13] <hexstatik_> didnt wokr
[10:14] <savagecroc> llutz: could it be that it relies on something in the bash environment?
[10:14] <yolateng0> Someone use ubuntu VOYAGER 12.10 ?
[10:14] <savagecroc> llutz: i'm not running this from a shell... it's getting directly executed over ssh
[10:14] <llutz> savagecroc: nothing i'm aware off
[10:14] <llutz> of
[10:15] <savagecroc> hmmm
[10:15] <MonkeyDust> !anyone | yolateng0
[10:16] <pbt> !code
[10:17] <Beifong> What are the procedures for removing a distribution?
[10:17] <MonkeyDust> yolateng0  i read it's a xubuntu fork , guess it's not supported here
[10:17] <llutz> savagecroc: how many processes does "ps aux | grep 'nginx: master' " via ssh show?
[10:17] <mr_lou> I'm off. Thanks again llutz
[10:17] <yolateng0> ubottu: sorry for my english
[10:18] <savagecroc> llutz: running, before and after
[10:19] <Beifong> When I install a new OS does it install it's own grub on its partition?
[10:19] <yolateng0> MonkeyDust: exactly a nice fork...
[10:19] <savagecroc> llutz: oh interesting.. https://gist.github.com/40ea312cd05fb1bb887d
[10:19] <MonkeyDust> yolateng0  but not every (x)ubuntu fork is supported here, there are too many of them
[10:20] <llutz> savagecroc: ah, pgrep also finds the ngingx watchdog, you have to adjust your pattern
[10:21] <llutz> savagecroc: nonsense, ignore me
[10:21] <savagecroc> yeah.. i think that might be the SSH library i'm using
[10:22] <savagecroc> yeah it is
[10:22] <savagecroc> https://gist.github.com/2dd3769dba045ab28c0c << i changed it
[10:22] <savagecroc> and it's coming up with the command i ran.. + grep
[10:23] <savagecroc> so by default.. the ssh library must be using bash rather than the raw ssh channels like i thought it was
[10:23] <yolateng0> I have a problem brightness when booting Ubuntu Voyager -xfce fork- under Intel N2600.
[10:24] <yolateng0> after a disconnection of the session that arranges. a idee please?

[10:27] <sideeffect> test
[10:27] <llutz> savagecroc: its just assuming that nginx-master# will always run as root ;)
[10:27] <hexstatik_> i just discovered gnome do, best little app ever
[10:27] <savagecroc> llutz: i think it has too
[10:27] <savagecroc> llutz: i don't think you can start nginx up under any other user
[10:28] <sideeffect> test
[10:28] <llutz> savagecroc: it will start as root to bind to 80/443 and then fork to another user, i guess (like most httpds)
[10:28] <savagecroc> llutz: yeah.. everything else gets run as nginx

[10:29] <savagecroc> i don't know why you can't just do something like.. oh this user gets bind privliges

[10:30] <hexstatik_> how i can i create an iso of my current install?
[10:31] <ikillcypher> hello guys
[10:31] <ikillcypher> :)
[10:31] <magico> ciao
[10:31] <ikillcypher> anyone has any idea how to copy windows which I downloaded 30 days trial iso into a usb stick :P Im currently on Ubuntu
[10:32] <magico> !list
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> ikillcypher  better ask in ##windows
[10:32] <ikillcypher> im currently on Ubuntu
[10:32] <ikillcypher> so I believe it is a software I have to use
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> ikillcypher  you want to make it installable?
[10:33] <ikillcypher> it is copying the whole iso into a usb and yes installable and bootable
[10:33] <ikillcypher> as I need it for work
[10:33] <MonkeyDust> ikillcypher  not sure if that's possible with windows
[10:33] <ikillcypher> you dont understand
[10:34] <ikillcypher> in windows if I want to copy ubuntu to my usb I use linuxusbcreator
[10:34] <ikillcypher> but for Ubuntu now I want to copy windows into my usb
[10:34] <ikillcypher> what do I use
[10:34] <MonkeyDust> ikillcypher  you want to boot windows from usb?
[10:35] <ikillcypher> yes and install into my harddisk
[10:35] <ikillcypher> it is like installing from a cd
[10:35] <ikillcypher> but now I want to install from my usb
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> ikillcypher  not sure if that's possible with windows
[10:35] <ikillcypher> :S
[10:35] <igcek> hi, ive got 2 drives mounted in two folders... first is mounted on /home/foo and second is mounted on /home/foo/second_drive
[10:35] <ikillcypher> it is
[10:35] <ikillcypher> I did it before
[10:36] <igcek> everithing is then shared through samba over the network and mounted on ubuntu sistem...
[10:36] <hexstatik_> how i can i create an iso of my current install?
[10:36] <igcek> problem is i can only use the /hone/foo drive's max space
[10:36] <skooch> if you want to boot windows install disc off a usb stick, its as simple as partitioning it to ntfs and setting it bootable with bootsect.
[10:37] <skooch> then copying everything in the iso across
[10:37] <igcek> so if drive foo has 120 and second drive 40GB  i can only use 120GB
[10:37] <igcek> but i can record on any of them...
[10:38] <graydragon> hellos
[10:39] <graydragon> well i got a problym im still new to ubuntu
[10:41] <graydragon> not even shure this is working
[10:41] <dr_willis> and your issue is graydragon ?
[10:42] <graydragon> well i made the mistake of trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on to a external
[10:42] <MonkeyDust> 10.10 is no longer supported
[10:42] <dr_willis> ;)
[10:42] <bentinata> haha
[10:43] <zuppetto> salve
[10:43] <graydragon> so far from what i have found that i now have a grub boot loader on my xp internal
[10:43] <dr_willis> i install to external usb all the time. works well.. or at lease 11.x and 12.x has
[10:43] <graydragon> problym is windows is hybernated
[10:43] <zuppetto> qualcuno scrive in italiano?
[10:43] <MonkeyDust> !it
[10:43] <dr_willis> yep. grub can go to the  internal hd if you dont tell it to use the external
[10:44] <zuppetto> thanks a lot!
[10:44] <zuppetto> -.-
[10:44] <graydragon> i found that out the hard way
[10:44] <Beifong> that's it then? grub-install and then delete partition
[10:44] <graydragon> well i need to keep whats on the internal hd
[10:45] <dr_willis> the windows hd?
[10:45] <graydragon> yes
[10:46] <bentinata>
[10:46] <dr_willis> you should still be able to use  access the windows fileststems from the installed system or a live usb
[10:46] <graydragon> and well the windows partishion is in a hybernated state
[10:47] <bekks> Then you cannot mount it.
[10:47] <graydragon> im using a live usb atm
[10:47] <graydragon> correct
[10:47] <dr_willis> i think you can force it to mount
[10:47] <dr_willis> id check the ntfs-3g docs . im not sure of the option
[10:48] <graydragon> ok so is there a way to well repair it i have no idea how from what ive read id have to do some thing with mbr
[10:48] <UbuntuWarrior> hello
[10:49] <bekks> graydragon: Boot Windows, and shut it down instead of hiberbating.
[10:49] <graydragon> id love to
[10:49]  * dr_willis waits for more details...
[10:49] <graydragon> and greetings warrior
[10:50] <graydragon> ok ill try to give as mutch detail as i can
[10:50] <graydragon> first off its a netbook
[10:50] <bekks> graydragon: Or ensure that Windows will never ever boot from that disk, and just enforce mounting it using ntfs-3g. Not doing so may result in data loss, since the hibernated data may contain pending MFT data which were not written to the physical MFT yet. And changing data on the disk and resuming from hibernation after, may result in corrupting the filesystem.
[10:50] <bekks> I've summed it up... :P
[10:52] <graydragon> well i am so new to ubuntu that i hae to say im lost
[10:52] <dr_willis> boot system, shutdown not hibernate.. would be the   'best' fix
[10:52] <dr_willis> never use hibernate again. ;)
[10:53] <signal0r> guys. what am i doing wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1512328/ my vpn dont work and i'm not sure what the problem is.
[10:53] <graydragon> lol yea
[10:54] <thealmand> Please forgive my ignorance... I'm trying to find the beginner channel.
[10:55] <thealmand> I know this couldn't be it as it's the first thing I have tried and I know I'm not that good.
[10:56] <graydragon> sigh so whos realy good at fixing os problyms  or well complicated ones ?
[10:56] <bentinata> gray: use boot-repair
[10:57] <bentinata> I guess, you can't boot into windows?
[10:57] <graydragon> ok um how all i have to work with is my live usb thats it
[10:57] <bekks> graydragon: I told you both possible solutions already.
[10:57] <thealmand> @graydragon check out miniPE
[10:57] <graydragon> correct
[10:57] <bentinata> add repository
[10:57] <bentinata> type
[10:57] <graydragon> ok thanks
[10:58] <thealmand> miniPE makes a RAM drive, lots of good utills
[10:58] <computerguy> hii anyone please help I cannot boot into Ubuntu after upgrading the version from 12.04 to 12.10
[10:58] <bentinata> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
[10:58] <bentinata> sudo apt-get update
[10:59] <kimal73_> scuste ma qualcuno si ricorda percaso qual'era di default il visualizzatore di immagini nella release prima di shotwell?
[10:59] <graydragon> ill chk it out
[10:59] <bekks> !it | kimal73_
[10:59] <kimal73_> a cavolo scusa
[10:59] <hexstatik_> hey guys, where should i save this shell script if i want it to apply always and globally? http://paste2.org/p/2719573
[11:00] <computerguy> bentinata: is those commands are for me?
[11:01] <dr_willis> graydragon: so you are saying you cant boot windows. or what exactly?
[11:01] <bentinata> computerguy, no
[11:01] <abdul> hello guys
[11:01] <abdul> just want to ask how do you check the ubuntu version running on your laptop
[11:01] <graydragon> correct getting a grub line
[11:01] <zvacet> lab_ release -a
[11:02] <computerguy> abdul: go to system settings and then go to details
[11:02] <zvacet> abdul: wrong sorry lsb_release -a
[11:02] <Beifong> checked it and it works. I'm not sure if It was needed though.
[11:02] <computerguy> it will tell the version installed on your pc
[11:02] <abdul> okidoki guys thanks
[11:02] <thealmand> I am panning on taking the jump and buying my own domain. I love how I don't need to host thanks to Ubuntu. Is there a way to "register" my own DNS so I don't have to agree to some third parties EULA (website is about expressing first amendment rights)?
[11:02] <computerguy> bentinata: can you please help with my problem
[11:02] <computerguy>  I cannot boot into Ubuntu after upgrading the version from 12.04 to 12.10
[11:03] <hexstatik_> hey guys, where should i save this shell script if i want it to apply always and globally? http://paste2.org/p/2719573
[11:04] <abdul> i have installed GNS3 on my ubuntu 12.04......any body knows how to install juniper image to work on the GNS3
[11:04] <dr_willis> computerguy: what does it do exactly
[11:04] <graydragon> brb
[11:04] <dr_willis> hexstatik_: globaly at login or bootup
[11:05] <hexstatik_> either way will do really
[11:05] <hexstatik_> i just want it to spread to all programs
[11:05] <computerguy> ot goes up to the log in screen then i type of password and then when i hit enter it won't load anything it just loads only the desktop back ground..there will no icons nothing..then i have to hit power button to turn it off
[11:05] <dr_willis> it depends on whats uts doing.... hexstatik_
[11:05] <computerguy> it*
[11:05] <hexstatik_> there is a pastebin...it changes mouse sensitivity
[11:05] <bekks> abdul: You need a valid Junioer firmware image. Thats not part of this channel.
[11:05] <hexstatik_> lowers it
[11:06] <savagecroc> do symlinks automatically get created with chmod 777?
[11:06] <abdul> has anybody installed 12.10..............how is it? hope no hitches
[11:06] <savagecroc> o'
[11:06] <dr_willis> hexstatik_:  so the users. config/autostart is best
[11:06] <abdul> @bekks I do have  a valid juniper image just like cisco image
[11:06] <savagecroc> i've got my sudo umask and my users umask set to 0007 and they are both coming up with lrwxrwxrwx  1 root       root          26 Jan  9 20:44 2013-01-09--17-44-02.conf
[11:06] <abdul> but anyways thanks
[11:06] <computerguy> abdul: that is what i installed.. i upgraded it from 12.04 to 12.10 but now the system is not booting
[11:06] <bazhang> abdul, whats the exact question. "any hitches" is very vague
[11:06] <dr_willis> bbl. driving home..
[11:07] <thealmand> @hex try your bash,rc in /ect folder. If I understand though every new shell will reload your scrip so make sure to account
[11:07] <bekks> abdul: Then the GNS3 documentation tells you on how to use a router image.
[11:07] <abdul> i mean can u install it without any problem
[11:07] <bazhang> abdul, yes of course
[11:07] <hexstatik_> dr_willis: ok will try
[11:07] <hexstatik_> thealmand: thanks, gonna try dr_willis method first
[11:08] <abdul> seriously am scared of upgrading to 12.10.......maybe i will wait after 2months or so
[11:08] <computerguy> abdul: yes i installed it...but after upgrading the ubuntu is not booting
[11:08] <bazhang> abdul, thats your choice, but not a support issue for this channel
[11:08] <abdul> ok
[11:08] <computerguy> abdul: i think my problem is due in-compatible graphic card nvidia gt 620m ...
[11:09] <zvacet> abdu: maybe it is better to  make fresh install
[11:09] <computerguy> i think the ubuntu is not supporting
[11:09] <abdul> ok thanks computerguy
[11:10] <thealmand> Can anyone hear me? How do you find Will Smith in a snow storm? Look for fresh prince!
[11:10] <abdul> i have another question: i have a virtual box running on my ubuntu 12.04 and win7 is installed on the virtual box, how do i get to make the virtual box detect my usb or external drive
[11:10] <computerguy> i even tried in recovery mode but the screen hang's up with a black screen
[11:11] <computerguy> abdul: is there any ISO file on that device?
[11:11] <graydragon> only reason why ive enjoyed 10.10 to me it seems to agree with anything i have pluged it in to
[11:11] <abdul> yes i have already installed win 7 iso image, and its working perfectly
[11:11] <computerguy> i think you can just give the path for the ISO as I\something.iso by clicking browse
[11:11] <thealmand> h..a..h..a? Anyone know payable service to ask hosting/DNS/domain questions too?
[11:12] <abdul> just that it can't detect my usb from the virtual box
[11:12] <bazhang> !ot | thealmand
[11:13] <graydragon> ok so any one whos reay good with ubuntu  and winxp could ya plz im me
[11:13] <bazhang> graydragon, 10.10 is already end of life
[11:14] <krz> I'm setting up a usb flash drive for boot. should i set persistence ?
[11:14] <graydragon> err pm me
[11:14] <bazhang> graydragon, ask in the channel
[11:14] <bekks> graydragon: Whats still unclear with both solutions I provided?
[11:14] <bekks> Me, and others, to be honest.
[11:14] <Sail> graydragon: if u want to use 10.10  can use backtrack latest version its all work on ubuntu 10.10
[11:14] <bazhang> krz, if you wish it to save changes then yes
[11:14] <graydragon> im not to good with keeping in the mane chat
[11:15] <bekks> Sail: 10.10 isnt supported anymore, and backtrack isnt supported in here, too.
[11:15] <graydragon> errg keeping up
[11:15] <bazhang> Sail, please do NOT recommend bt here
[11:15] <Sail> bekks: dont be high its supported u might want to check and i am just suggesting
[11:15] <bazhang> Sail, its offtopic, so please do NOT
[11:15] <bekks> Sail: It isnt. Please take a look yourself first.
[11:16] <bekks> !eol | Sail
[11:16] <graydragon> i know its end of life for 10.10 but atm its all i ve keeping me going
[11:17] <Sail> bekks: actually i am running bt5 r2 on my other desktop and its on ubuntu 10
[11:17] <bekks> !bt | Sail
[11:17] <bekks> !backtrack | Sail
[11:17] <bazhang> Sail, lets move on. none of those are supported here.
[11:17] <bekks> There you go. And now lets keep it up with Ubuntu support.
[11:18] <Sail> haha zipp
[11:18] <abdul_> hello guys......please how do i get my usb to be detected by my virtual box
[11:18] <bekks> abdul: By installing the extension pack, enabling usb2 support for your vm, and passing through your USB device.
[11:19] <bazhang> abdul_, do you have the vbox guest additions installed?
[11:19] <bekks> bazhang: The guest additions are irrelevant for USB support. :)
[11:19] <bazhang> abdul_, you can also check in #vbox
[11:19] <bazhang> bekks, whoops sorry!
[11:19] <abdul_> yes the vbox guest addition is installed
[11:19] <bazhang> abdul_, disregard what I just said, listen to bekks
[11:20] <graydragon> well reguardless of vershion ill need some one to assist in a step by step manor to private mesage me so i can work better with my problym witch is part user error with ubuntu
[11:20] <abdul_> ok becks so which extension pack are we talking about here
[11:20] <bekks> abdul: The virtualbox extension pack.
[11:20] <thealmand> I want to "resolve my own DNS" i.e. point my domain to my server's ip/port. Is this even possible?
[11:20] <abdul_> ok will try that and then get back to you
[11:21] <abdul_> thanks
[11:21] <bekks> abdul: Just join #vbox for vbox related problems :)
[11:21] <thealmand> #I want to "resolve my own DNS" i.e. point my domain to my server's ip/port. Is this even possible?
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> thealmand  #ubuntu-server
[11:23] <Sail> bekks: u want to check wiki backtrack nd yea its on ubuntu 10.02 lucid
[11:23] <thealmand> #ubuntu-server I want to "resolve my own DNS" i.e. point my domain to my server's ip/port. Is this even possible?
[11:23] <graydragon> so any on wish to assist me
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> thealmand  type /join #ubuntu-server
[11:23] <llutz> thealmand: do you have access to nameserver config of your domain?
[11:24] <bazhang> graydragon, with what. state your issue
[11:24] <graydragon> could you plz pm me ill stat the hole thing in detail
[11:25] <bazhang> graydragon, we answer questions here in the channel not via PM
[11:25] <llutz> !pm | thealmand
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> thealmand  keep it in the channel please
[11:25] <bazhang> graydragon, if the channel is too much, try askubuntu.com
[11:26] <Ubuntu-erikas> how to write C++ programms?
[11:26] <graydragon> well here it gose
[11:26] <jat_> Hello, is there a way to swich front output with rear output on my EMU10K1 soundcard? The rear output has a better hardware chip supposed to give better audio quality.
[11:26] <bazhang> Ubuntu-erikas, how is that ubuntu related
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> Ubuntu-erikas  ##c++
[11:26] <Ubuntu-erikas> in ubuntu...
[11:27] <bazhang> Ubuntu-erikas, please visit the channel suggested by MonkeyDust
[11:27] <graydragon> this is the err mesage and prompt
[11:27] <bazhang> graydragon, on 10.10?
[11:27] <graydragon> yes...
[11:27] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | graydragon
[11:28] <graydragon> once i get this fixed i can upgrade
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> graydragon  10.10 is no longer supported
[11:28] <bazhang> graydragon, its not supported here, please follow the link above to get up to speed
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> Ubuntu-erikas  no pm please
[11:28] <bazhang> graydragon, there's no fix without an upgrade
[11:28] <Ubuntu-erikas> okay
[11:29] <Ubuntu-erikas> i have an problem,when i start ubuntu 12.04 it says "Ubuntu has an internal error registred"
[11:29] <Beifong> does gnome-diskmount keep settings someplace?
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> graydragon  10.10 cannot be fixed, upgrade first
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> !find diskmount
[11:30] <graydragon> im using a live usb cant upgrade till i have access to my othe os
[11:30] <Beifong> diskmount-applet keep a reference to nautilus. I'm using precise.
[11:30] <bazhang> graydragon, then grab the latest iso and "burn" it to usb
[11:30] <graydragon> on a netbook
[11:31] <bazhang> netbooks support booting by usb no problem graydragon
[11:31] <Beifong> graydragon, grab the liveCD and use gnome-startupdisk-maker
[11:32] <bentinata> maybe this is not #ubuntu channel
[11:32] <Beifong> graydragon, but be careful with that it's dangerous.
[11:32] <bazhang> you can simply cat the iso to the usb stick
[11:32] <bentinata> this is #ubuntu-help channel
[11:32] <thealmand> @llutz I haven't bought the domain yet. not sure what a nameserver is. Perhaps you could reffer me to a good resource as I need to grow my understanding... My usual google searches are poisoned by people trying to sell me the service
[11:32] <bazhang> bentinata, whats the issue. please state it
[11:33] <bentinata> bazhang, how to PM?
[11:33] <bazhang> bentinata, /msg nickname message; good idea to ask first
[11:33] <llutz> thealmand: if you "buy" (register) an domain, the registrar will give you a webfronted to edit the nameserver-entries/to add subdomains etc.pp. those dns settings you have to adjust to your needs.
[11:34] <llutz> thealmand: since those webfrontends differ a lot from registrar to registrar, there is no general way to tell you. you could use the time to read about dns, records etc.pp
[11:34] <bentinata> a
[11:34] <graydragon> error: no such device:ze738bad-4312-4b9b-a177-1c57b9f6171  Grub rescue>_
[11:35] <graydragon> this mesage was from my winxp hd
[11:35] <bazhang> graydragon, you need to follow the eol upgrades link
[11:35] <Johnnie> What does Ubuntu use clients.l.google.com for?
[11:36] <graydragon> using a live nonpresistant usb
[11:36] <graydragon> all i have atm
[11:36] <graydragon> that and a external usb hd
[11:36] <barnex> Morning guys. I'm using ubuntu 12.10 with ecryptfs encrypted home directory. And it somehow got mounted as a read-only filesystem.
[11:37] <graydragon> witch i cant seem to install anything to
[11:37] <barnex> Can I just remount ecrypftfs as write'able like it's a normal filesystem?
[11:37] <barnex> and why did it mounted itself read-only?
[11:37] <Eagleman> My postfix will only deliver mail to local domains, not to external domains, i am looking for the option to allow sending mail to external domains, any idea how i do this?
[11:38] <barnex> Eagleman: what do you get in log when you try to send to an external domain?
[11:38] <Eagleman> relay acces denied
[11:39] <thealmand> @llutz so you could say no one ever "owns" a domain. It's closer to renting...(going out on a limb) an organization that has a big enough foot print on the web to forward a .com to an IP???
[11:39] <llutz> thealmand: basically, yes
[11:39] <thealmand> renting *from
[11:39] <barnex> Eagleman: have you tried googling it?
[11:39] <Eagleman> barnex it only allows mail to people in mydestination =
[11:41] <graydragon> eug sarry bazhang thought you were asking how there
[11:41] <barnex> bbl - reboot to test if my ecryptfs system will mount properly
[11:42] <thealmand> wow mind blown.... sounds like net neutrality as I thought it was never existed... and they still want to restrict it...
[11:45] <thealmand> @llutz if you wouldn't mind indulging me.... if instead of typing in a domain people pointed their browsers at my static ip I wouldn't need a domain or DNS?
[11:45] <llutz> thealmand: no
[11:45] <guang_> I rm /etc/apache2,then i reinstall the apache2.But now,after i run "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart",the terminal shows ".: 45: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars"
[11:46] <jrib> guang_: because apache2 is not the package that provides those files.  Use « dpkg -S /path/to/file » to figure out the correct package
[11:46] <thealmand> @llutz ip and port lol?
[11:46] <llutz> thealmand: remembering IPs is just not as handy as having domain-names/dns, but it works (dns just translates names into IPs)
[11:46] <dibblego> if I need to upgrade 10.10 to 12.04, do I need to first upgrade to 11.04?
[11:46] <jrib> dibblego: yes
[11:46] <jrib> !upgrade | dibblego
[11:46] <graydragon> was using live usb to install ubuntu to an external hd it askd to be restarted i restarted and can not get windows xp sp3 to work i get a mesage...((error: no such device:ze738bad-4312-4b9b-a177-1c57b9f6171  Grub rescue>_)) windows is hybernated
[11:47] <dr_willis> graydragon:  you could reinstall and be sure to put grub on the MBR of the external USB hd. and then be sure the system is booting that HD.
[11:47] <llutz> thealmand: if your publix-IP doesn't change, its no problem to tell your friends" hey connect my webserver on "<IP_ADDRESS>:88888"
[11:47] <graydragon> so cant mount would love a step by step
[11:48] <dr_willis> if you were to mount the windoiws partion. what would you do with it?
[11:48] <llutz> well, remove 1 8
[11:48] <dr_willis> Huh? 1 8 ?
[11:48] <dr_willis> oh ;) miss read.. lol.
[11:49] <llutz> dr_willis: one of those 8s
[11:49]  * dr_willis squints
[11:49] <graydragon> atemp to save the critical info then preform surgery on it to remove grub
[11:49] <jrib> thealmand: also, at that point, you could just get a sub-domain from some place likely for free
[11:50] <graydragon> and get windows working agion
[11:50] <e9t_> JOINS
[11:50] <dr_willis> ntfs-3g has a remove hyberfile option that would let you mount the  windows drive.
[11:50] <graydragon> and atemp to do an external usb hd agion
[11:50] <graydragon> ok
[11:50] <graydragon> i havent had any luck with that
[11:51] <dr_willis> what have you done exactly with it?
[11:51] <Johnnie> I have a question. Could enybody answer me? I use WireShark and see on them that my computer use client.l.google.com. I try to use Domain Blocker and block it, but It does not work.  Do somebody know why it so and what for this domain ( client.l.google.com) is used? Maybe it is because of Firefox browser?
[11:51] <graydragon> basicly any comands to at least do a read only
[11:51] <bazhang> Johnnie, how does this relate to ubuntu
[11:52] <dr_willis> graydragon:  what commands exactly?
[11:52] <bazhang> !info wireshark
[11:52] <SnowmanX11> How can I cut the end of the files (e.g 5 characters) with Gnome Commender - Advance Rename Tool?
[11:52] <thealmand> ya jrib I did that through no-ip. My sucesses with that have inspired my to go farther as the free services apeared to me to have alot of entanglements. I was going to buy a domain from them but didn't like the terms of use. looked around and didn't like what I saw and I came here......
[11:52] <graydragon> i have forgoten so far was one to mount hd as read only using that 3g
[11:53] <thealmand> @llutz you say friends because there is no way I could withstand the pressure of having my ip address public
[11:53] <graydragon> i could jest be entering it rong
[11:53] <graydragon> basicly i want to back up some of the data b4 i proced
[11:53] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:54] <Eagleman> My postfix is ignoring all changes i do i main.cf, for example: mynetworks_style = host   but when i do  postconf -nf | grep mynetworks_style   mynetworks_style = subnet
[11:54] <dr_willis> sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/MAKEADIRETORYFIRST -o remove_hiberfile           (i think)
[11:54] <graydragon> yea i dont wana do that till i back up first
[11:55] <dr_willis> of course there might be some data loss. its hard to tell with hiberfiles.
[11:55] <dr_willis> So... Now you want to get the windows system bootable first? or what exactly?
[11:55] <graydragon> yes thats the last step
[11:55] <dr_willis> err... that would be the first step unless you want to remove the hiberfile..
[11:56] <dr_willis> and mount the windows drive.
[11:56] <graydragon> mount drive as read only then x
[11:56] <thealmand> I know domain and dns makes things easy. But I remeber a time (in the states anyway) before cell phones when you could dial complicated numbers to get a deal on long distance phone calls. 10-10-321 just a dial a minute...
[11:56] <dr_willis> No idea if you can with a Hiberfile on the windows drive..
[11:57] <dr_willis> Not sure what removeing the hiberfile would endanger either.,. Unless you had an app OPEN that had data in it you just HAD to have...
[11:57] <graydragon> ok....so how to mount first as read only?
[11:57] <dr_willis> No idea if you can mount it read onlyt with a Hiberfile on the windows drive..
[11:57] <bekks> graydragon: You have to mount with removing the hibefile. Like being told several times.
[11:58] <thealmand> Or how about letter association with numbers dialed on a phone. **call 1-800-shopnow**
[11:59] <graydragon> ok dr willis and bekks can you please pm your step by step methods to me plz
[11:59] <graydragon> for doing the task
[12:00] <graydragon> i would be vary happy if ya did

[12:03] <gorjan-stojchev> I'm having a serious problem with a server runing ubuntu 12. I was wondering is some one with experienced kernel knowladge can help...
[12:03] <dr_willis> Make a directory.....
[12:03] <nearst> gorjan-stojchev, throw a questions
[12:03] <gineering> Ahhh
[12:03] <Johnnie> bazhang I use Linux Mint 12. Basicly it is a ubuntu. I think that if a domain blocker does not block that domain, clients.l.google.com, the reason is it is used by system or just a bug.
[12:04] <moonsandro> can anybody help me conecting ubunto to a zentyal domain????
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> Johnnie  mint is not supported here, we don't know what the mint people changed to make it 'mint'
[12:04] <thealmand> thanks for the help!
[12:04] <graydragon> one thinkg i do not know how in ubuntu
[12:05] <gineering> I have a VAIO Ns 29OJ with a Intel WiFi 550
[12:05] <dr_willis> mkdir thinkofaname
[12:05] <gorjan-stojchev> The problem is this, I'm expiriencing defunct proccesses. For example if I do tail -f I cannot kill the proccess. It gets defunct. I've did every thing posible to diagnose it. To no avail...
[12:05] <nearst> Johnnie, basic domain in /etc/resolv.conf
[12:05] <dr_willis> !mount
[12:05] <gineering> The light doesn't come on in the front switch
[12:05] <dr_willis> ntfs-3g mounts ntfs filesystems. :)
[12:05] <gorjan-stojchev> Also this happens after a while after reboot..
[12:05] <nearst> tail -f = getting live log
[12:06] <gorjan-stojchev> I've notced this only on tail -f and on mysql. When I try to stop it it gets defunct...
[12:06] <gineering> Nearst.. Me?
[12:06] <gorjan-stojchev> yes
[12:06] <sw> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 in Hyper-V, passwords chosen during installation but now the installation is complete and I'm at the login screen it's saying that the password is incorrect.
[12:07] <nearst> gineering, hi.
[12:07] <gorjan-stojchev> ram checks ok, hdd ok, swap working so it's not deprived of resources..
[12:07] <gineering> Urg... Seriously...  Have problem, can not load Ubuntu 12.04. Write many error like "/proc/self/fd/9 Permission denied"
[12:08] <graydragon> indeed ty dr_willis
[12:08] <gorjan-stojchev> proccess list...?
[12:08] <Johnnie> MonkeyDust Mint is the same Ubuntu with own desktop.
[12:08] <graydragon> and ack the other one
[12:08] <graydragon> for your help so far
[12:09] <nearst> prostakov_alexey, u try with live cd ?
[12:09] <dr_willis> Mint has some  deep differances then ubuntu last i looked into it.
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> !mint | Johnnie
[12:09] <prostakov_alexey> yes. can by livecd
[12:09] <nearst> yup, same like debian and ubuntu also mint
[12:09] <prostakov_alexey> live cd is work. How cam I repaid main system?
[12:10] <dr_willis> prostakov_alexey:  is this a new install? or has it recently broken?
[12:10] <nearst> prostakov_alexey, try chroot main fs and fsck disk.
[12:10] <gorjan-stojchev> cannot kill the proccess it gets ppid to 1...
[12:11] <moonsandro> connect ubuntu to a zentyal domani? anyone??
[12:11] <dr_willis> !zentyal
[12:11] <dr_willis> Im not sure how zentyal has a domain. ;) but what do i know...
[12:12] <gorjan-stojchev> also if I don't try to kill tail in time it stays active and running and it consumes 100% cpu..
[12:12] <prostakov_alexey> no, it is no new install, system live more 1 year. I can chroot for disk main system. find no errors
[12:12] <nearst> ouch. ebox. try look at /etc/resolv.conf for dns and domain related
[12:12] <gorjan-stojchev> if I kill it it gets swoped by pid 1
[12:12] <nearst> try sudo ? :)
[12:13] <dr_willis>  /proc/ is a virtual/system  filesystem anyway.. so i dont think it would be a  filesystem error..
[12:14] <prostakov_alexey> ok, will try again
[12:14] <prostakov_alexey> thank you
[12:17] <Johnnie> nearst,  /etc/resolv.conf is empty. Should I write down some code?
[12:19] <gorjan-stojchev> Can anybody please direct me in which direction should I investigate further.  I'll gather info and file a bug. Tnx...
[12:24] <lhavelund> xGeek: Watch your language please. :)
[12:24] <xGeek> lhavelund, it's not me :/ my bro
[12:24] <sw> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 in Hyper-V, passwords chosen during installation but now the installation is complete and I'm at the login screen it's saying that the password is incorrect.
[12:24] <xGeek> Can i install ubuntu 12 on HP G6 ?
[12:25] <dr_willis> xGeek:  and whats a HP G6 thats so unusual?
[12:25] <riderplus> I'm trying to upgrade gdm via synaptic, I mark it for upgrade then I get "cannot upgrade package, fix broken packages first"
[12:26] <dr_willis> synaptic has a button/toggle to show broken packages.
[12:27] <sw> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 in Hyper-V, passwords chosen during installation but now the installation is complete and I'm at the login screen it's saying that the password is incorrect.
[12:27] <riderplus> dr_willis: where's that?
[12:27] <carloItalia> salve
[12:27] <dr_willis> look around. bottom left perhaps.
[12:28] <carloItalia> hi
[12:28] <bekks> sw: Then the password is wrong. Things like caps-locvk,, shift, etc. may have occured.
[12:28] <dr_willis> sw:  try the console?
[12:28] <graydragon> ok yes id like to figure out this grub thing so i can get windos to boot agion
[12:28] <sw> bekks No, I have copy + pasted the password in during setup and again now, so they are exactly the same.
[12:30] <riderplus> dr_willis: the list of dependencies shows libaudit1 which I don't have installed and I don't know where to install it from
[12:30] <sw> So there is no solution apart from 'install again'? :-)
[12:30] <dr_willis> sw:  use a live cd, chroot in, set password
[12:31] <dr_willis> or use the recovery console mode
[12:31] <Johnnie> ! Domain blocker
[12:31] <riderplus> dr_willis: should I choose "force version??
[12:31] <riderplus> there's no libaudit1 anywhere
[12:31] <dr_willis> riderplus:  ive never needed to. Could be you have some ppa's enabled or disabled thats confuseing things
[12:31] <carloItalia> hi what is the best desktop environment?
[12:32] <dr_willis> carloItalia:  the one that you perfer...
[12:32] <dr_willis> carloItalia:  try them out.. see what you like
[12:32] <graydragon> dr willis know any thing about grub rescue?
[12:32] <xsobex787> @Geekx Okay, so I am working on a webserver which the data rention is vital, and was having issues booting, it was 10.0.4 and I am upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 but during the upgrade process (non-destructive), the upgrade failed and was getting an error indicating no init config file, i presume for grub, and its file system isn't being recognised, used boot repair disk (ubuntu-secured-remix) *LIVE
[12:32] <xsobex787> CD to attempt to address what I think are partion map errors, but am able to now have access again and the ability to mount the main HDD now, but when I restart it without the live CD, it says "Missing Operating System.    SYSLinux 4.03    Error: No Configuration File Found     No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!            boot:|
[12:32] <dr_willis> graydragon:  grub and its console/rescue modes have hunderds of pages of docs and guides. If grub breaks on me. i tend to use the boot-repair tool mentioned at the fixgrub wiki page
[12:33] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[12:33] <peterva> does anyone here have any luck with Citrix receiver on 12.10_amd64? I've fscking with this issue all day now, and can't seem to get it to work >_>
[12:33] <carloItalia> i use the gnome shell with cairo dock but I want to change
[12:33] <dr_willis> carloItalia:  theres  dozens of window managers and about a half dozen 'desktops' you can play with.
[12:33] <graydragon> so is there a way to tell it to uninstall its self?
[12:34] <sw> dr_willis This is in a VM, I am at the login screen now. How do I do that?
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> carloItalia  install what you want, login, select something of your choice, login
[12:34] <dr_willis> graydragon:  you would install a  differnt bootloader over it. such as the windows mbr.  the boot-repair tool may have a remove-grub option. but that may just make the disk unbootable.
[12:34] <the_dark_knight> Hi, which is the best program to draw a pie chart based on the readings in ubuntu?
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> carloItalia  install what you want, logout, select something of your choice, login  <-- correction
[12:34] <dr_willis> sw:  try the alt-ctrl-f1 CONSOLES
[12:34] <the_dark_knight> please help.
[12:34] <dr_willis> sw:  or the recovery menu item from the grub menus
[12:35] <xsobex787> Dr Willis, i am at a Boot:|
[12:35] <xsobex787> and says im missing my OS
[12:35] <xsobex787> ive been at this for 24 hours now
[12:35] <dr_willis> !fixgrub | xsobex787
[12:35] <xsobex787> @Dr. Willis Okay, so I am working on a webserver which the data rention is vital, and was having issues booting, it was 10.0.4 and I am upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 but during the upgrade process (non-destructive), the upgrade failed and was getting an error indicating no init config file, i presume for grub, and its file system isn't being recognised, used boot repair disk (ubuntu-secured-remix)

[12:35] <xsobex787> with the !?
[12:35] <FloodBot1> xsobex787: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:35] <xsobex787> sorry
[12:36] <aeon-ltd> xsobex787: you should prob pastebin that
[12:36] <xsobex787> it says boot: Could not find kernal imafe
[12:36] <xsobex787> image*
[12:36] <dr_willis> sounds like its not trying to boot the HD. or theres no bootloader on the hd.
[12:36] <xsobex787> what is paste bin
[12:36] <xsobex787> i havent used irc in like 10 years
[12:36] <dr_willis> or its for some reason trying to boot a Hd/usb/somthing that had syslinux on it at one time
[12:37] <dr_willis> a normal install does not use syslinux. the live cd does. as would a live-usb
[12:37] <graydragon> recovery menu? i like that sound
[12:37] <xsobex787> so maybe should I try pointing my drive differently in the distro on the Ubuntu Secured live CD again with boot repair disk?
[12:37] <dr_willis> graydragon:  its in the grub menu.. if you have a grub menu
[12:38] <dr_willis> xsobex787:  or have it install grub to all attatched hds. ;)
[12:38] <graydragon> ok how i get in to that , as id have to shut down
[12:38] <carloItalia> i have tested mate,kde,unity,cinnamon,xfce and lxde and I realized that xfce and lxde are not made for me unity slows me down and I see kde gnome is too complex that I'm using but I would change so that there are other desktop environments but unfortunately I do not know the names
[12:38] <xsobex787> how do I do that?
[12:38] <xsobex787> i think its a raid setup
[12:38] <dr_willis> or determins what hd you want to boot and be sure grub installs to it.
[12:38] <dr_willis> Ive no idea with raid.
[12:38] <dr_willis> I dont use raid.
[12:39] <xsobex787> it says its an LVM2 volume
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> xsobex787  ubuntu server?
[12:39] <xsobex787> im not sure what it was
[12:39] <xsobex787> i might of been
[12:39] <xsobex787> it wouldnt boot to gui to begin with
[12:39] <xsobex787> and it was sending out malware to the visitors
[12:39] <xsobex787> i have the box in meh house
[12:39] <dr_willis> carloItalia:  theres some 'window managers for x'  summary site i saw ages ago with huge lists.. but i cant reall the url
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> xsobex787  was it an installer or a live cd?
[12:40] <xsobex787> it was a live cd with the installer option
[12:40] <dr_willis> if it was sending out malware. i think using a live cd. and backing  up imporntant data... then reformating would be the best bet.
[12:40] <xsobex787> going from 10.0.4 to 12.10
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> xsobex787  ok, then it's not ubuntu server
[12:41] <xsobex787> I would like to, but it says i dont have permission
[12:41] <dr_willis> dont have permission for what?
[12:41] <the_dark_knight> Hey, please help me out guys. Which program should I use to draw a pie chart using a file containing the readings. I am currently reading on gnuplot. But there is not much about pie charts in gnuplot.
[12:41] <Eagleman> I am unable to figure out why i cant send mail to external domains ( relay acces denied )  http://pastebin.com/LJ95bT1W   any idea what i did wrong?
[12:41] <xsobex787> to access the mounted root folder and a few other folders on the harddrive from my live CD
[12:41] <cfhowlett> the_dark_knight: libreoffice calc
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> the_dark_knight  libre calc
[12:42] <dr_willis> xsobex787:  access them as root perhaps?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> cfhowlett  was faster :)
[12:42] <xsobex787> in terminal?
[12:42] <dr_willis> however you want.. :)
[12:42] <riderplus> where can I get libaudit1 from?
[12:42] <cfhowlett> MonkeyDust: only today.  Usually, y'all beat me hands down
[12:42] <xsobex787> im alright at linux and ubuntu, im just not like a pro, ya know?
[12:42] <xsobex787> how can i do it in the GUI
[12:42] <carloItalia> do not remember it at all?
[12:42] <xsobex787> access it as root
[12:43] <riderplus> anyone?
[12:43] <carloItalia> @dr_willis do not remember it at all?
[12:43] <dr_willis> carloItalia:  google for 'window managers for x' perhaps and see
[12:43] <bentinata> I'm AWAY
[12:43] <dr_willis> thats what i would normally do to find it
[12:43] <bentinata> how fix that?
[12:43] <carloItalia> ok thanks
[12:44] <the_dark_knight> cfhowlett: MonkeyDust , I don't want a to do it manually. I wan't to generate a pie chart based on values from a config file.
[12:44] <riderplus> dr_willis: is there any way to install libaudit1?
[12:44] <grek1>  http://wklej.to/KL59a
[12:44] <bentinata> how fix AWAY?
[12:44] <dr_willis> riderplus:  source... would be one way
[12:45] <sw> dr_willis I don't see those options when starting up. When I start the VM I see 'Hyper-V', then a purple screen for a while and then the login screen.
[12:45] <dr_willis> !find libaudit
[12:45] <riderplus> it finds libaudit0
[12:45] <dr_willis> sw:  hold the shift key as it boots to get to a grub menu if its hidden.
[12:45] <riderplus> I need libaudit1 to update gdm
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> riderplus  scroll down: http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/debian/pool/main/a/audit/
[12:46] <dr_willis> makes me wonder which gdm you are installing and if its from some unofficial ppa.
[12:47] <sw> dr_willis Thanks, I'm in the Grub menu now, do I choose the (Recovery Mode) one?
[12:47] <sw> s/Grub/GRUB
[12:47] <dr_willis> sw:  if you want to use recovery mode... yes..
[12:47] <riderplus> thank you MonkeyDust
[12:48] <sw> dr_willis I don't care what I use, I just want to reset the password, like I've said.
[12:48] <sw> ?!
[12:49] <dr_willis> Then use the recovery console feature and change it.
[12:49] <sw> dr_willis There is no 'recovery console feature' listed.
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> bentinata  no pm please
[12:49] <dr_willis> You just said you saw a GRUB menu item for 'recovery'
[12:50] <bentinata> MonkeyDust, oh okay
[12:50] <sw> dr_willis (Recovery Mode) <- Yes. Is this the 'recovery console feature' you're talking about?
[12:50] <graydragon> ok better q i think for me is how do you tell is to boot the ntfs partishion
[12:50] <bentinata> how re-enable "away" status?
[12:50] <dr_willis> it gets you to the console.. yes
[12:50] <nibbler> my system running openvas, system load is ~40. everything works smooth in cli as long as i dont try to access the process list (this is a guess) via ps, w, pkill - how would i have to change my system to be more responsive here? csw/int/io stats are basically idle.
[12:51] <sw> dr_willis So now I see 'grub> '
[12:51] <dr_willis> sounds like it dident work to me. SHould be some sort of menu its giving options for..  sounds like you went into the GRUB console/command line.
[12:51] <OerHeks> !away | bentinata
[12:51] <bentinata> !away
[12:51] <bentinata> !away
[12:52] <sw> dr_willis You said console, so I pressed 'c'?!
[12:52] <Eagleman> I am unable to figure out why i cant send mail to external domains ( relay acces denied )  http://pastebin.com/LJ95bT1W   any idea what i did wrong?
[12:53] <dr_willis> sw:  that the GRUB command line.
[12:53] <dr_willis> grub boots the OS -> with the recovery option..
[12:54] <Error404NotFound> I am trying to install percona-server on ubuntu 12.10 64b and stuck with: libmysqlclient18:amd64 5.5.28-rel29.2-360.quantal (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with libmysqlclient18 which has multiple installed instances. I have tried to remove libmysqlclient18 but its reinstalled and gives same error. I tried installation use percona's apt repo as well as deb packages.
[12:55] <sw> dr_willis Right, which option should I choose now?
[12:55] <dr_willis> sw:  i dont have the menus menorised.. what options are there?
[12:55] <sw> dr_willis I have 'resume', 'clean', etc ...
[12:56] <dr_willis> look for one to get you to a shell/terminal/console/bash/ etc....
[12:56] <xsobex787> can I use acronis OS Selector?
[12:56] <sw> dr_willis 'root'?
[12:56] <graydragon> ok how dose one get the menu opshions for grub?
[12:56] <dr_willis> try it and see.
[12:56] <OerHeks> sw easy peasy > http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[12:56] <graydragon> recov
[12:57] <sw> dr_willis 'root@$server':~#
[12:57] <sw> dr_willis Can I just passwd the user now?
[12:57] <dr_willis> sw:  you now have a root shell on the console...
[12:57] <gac> Eagleman: do you have an example of a failure message? you may need to authenticate to your ISP's mailserver (which is the relayhost, I assume)
[12:57] <dr_willis> passwd username                yes.
[12:57] <sw> dr_willis 'passwd: Authentication token manipulation error'
[12:58] <dr_willis> that explains why you  cant login then.
[12:59] <dr_willis> some how your passwd/shadow files got messed up.. if this is a new install i bet other things are messed up also
[12:59] <nibbler> sw: mount -oremount,rw /
[12:59] <dr_willis> wouldent it say read only then?
[12:59] <dr_willis> or is it just a generic error message.
[12:59] <nibbler> dr_willis, nope, it would confuse you with wired token blah
[12:59] <sw> It's a fresh install.
[12:59] <riderplus> can someone help me correct this error?
[12:59] <riderplus> http://pastebin.com/CPs13q0i
[13:00] <dr_willis> if / is read only that would make sence i guess. :) i rarely yse the recovery mode stuff
[13:00] <ElixirVitae> Hi~
[13:00] <ewy> hello
[13:00] <MonkeyDust> riderplus  try sudo apt-get -f install
[13:00] <dr_willis> sw: so remount / to be read/write --      mount -o remount,rw  /
[13:00] <ElixirVitae> How long does it generally take for programs to update in repos?
[13:01] <riderplus> dr_willis: it doesn't work
[13:01] <dr_willis> ElixirVitae:  they normally only get security updates. untill the next release
[13:01] <OerHeks> ElixirVitae, depends, some will be updated with a next version
[13:01] <dr_willis> !latest
[13:01] <ndee> hi guys, whenever I try to conenct from a nfs-client to the nfs-server, I get the error "No such file or directory" --> http://pastebin.com/nWGm4tfC these are the commands/configs I'm using. Anyone knows how I can that nfs-mount running?
[13:01] <gac> riderplus: sounds like you have some kind of PPA installed and the packages are getting mixed up?
[13:01] <ElixirVitae> !backports
[13:01] <bentinata> !packaging
[13:02] <ElixirVitae> In that respect shouldn't I get latest firefox updates as well?
[13:02] <nibbler> dr_willis, took me ages to figure out the first time i ran into this.... but now when someone utters token manipulation errors, at least i remember :p - lets see if this is the issue here, but i know it from booting with init=/bin/bash
[13:02] <Eagleman> I am unable to figure out why i cant send mail to external domains ( relay acces denied )  http://pastebin.com/LJ95bT1W   any idea what i did wrong?
[13:02] <OerHeks> ElixirVitae, FF 18 is out, got it this morning
[13:02] <xsobex787> how do i back up data on mounted volume from root folder if it normally says access died or you do not have permission?
[13:02] <nibbler> Eagleman, you did everything right, as long as you run this on a public ip
[13:02] <Eagleman> gac relay acces denied
[13:02] <ElixirVitae> I got as well.
[13:03] <dr_willis> nibbler:  yep in the old days init=/bin/bash :)
[13:03] <Eagleman> nibbler eth1.10      inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[13:03] <OerHeks> ElixirVitae, then why do you want updates as you are up2date ?
[13:03] <yanerwei> how to use this software?
[13:03] <gac> Eagleman: what outgoing address is on your emails? i assume it's "from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[13:03] <dr_willis> xsobex787:  acessing them as the root user fails?
[13:03] <ElixirVitae> I just want to know how and when they are updated.
[13:03] <xsobex787> from live cd yes
[13:03] <nibbler> Eagleman, if you would relay for unauthenticated users, it would take you about 1h to get abused by spammers and blacklisted all around the globe
[13:04] <xsobex787> im not sure how to elevate if i need too
[13:04] <yanerwei> irc
[13:04] <ElixirVitae> If it takes, say 2 weeks for repos to have newer firefox, I would switch to mozilla's own repos.
[13:04] <dr_willis> xsobex787:  use sudo as needed..
[13:04] <Eagleman> nibbler i did force logins, but i may have disabled it now, all i care for now is that it works
[13:04] <Eagleman> gab yes:  Jan  9 13:38:42 homeserver postfix/submission/smtpd[7097]: NOQUEUE: reject: R                          CPT from D4B2D271.static.ziggozakelijk.nl[<IP_ADDRESS>]: 554 5.7.1 <rp@hgg                          .nl>: Relay access denied<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>proto=ESM                          TP helo=<[<IP_ADDRESS>]>
[13:04] <xsobex787> how do i use sudo in gui
[13:04] <ElixirVitae> But if it is within 3 days, I would stay with the ubuntu repos, as some security vulnerabilities are seen within a few days, which is a good thing in this case.
[13:05] <dr_willis> xsobex787:  use gksudo for gui apps
[13:05] <OerHeks> ElixirVitae, this update FF18 arrived within 24 hours, not fast enought?
[13:05] <Eagleman> only emails to local domains are accepted ( @eagleman.net
[13:05] <bekks> xsobex787: In the GUI, you use gksudo instead.
[13:05] <gac> Eagleman: seems normal to me; your ISP won't relay mail from a domain that has nothing to do with them, to another domain that has nothing to do with them
[13:05] <xsobex787> interesting
[13:05] <ElixirVitae> xsobex787, > gksudo nautilus for files
[13:05] <xsobex787> i use gksudo in terminal to elevate gui?
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> ouch
[13:05] <ElixirVitae> Oh, it is more than enough OerHeks
[13:05] <Eagleman> gac, the problem is that it worked before
[13:05] <dr_willis> gksudo nautilus can  really mess you up. ;) best to learn to use the terminal to do rooty tasks
[13:05] <gac> Eagleman: your ISP may have changed some settings for security
[13:05] <Eagleman> i was using my isp as gateway
[13:05] <ElixirVitae> But what about other programs?
[13:05] <Eagleman> How can i be sure?
[13:06] <nibbler> Eagleman, if you would allow anyone to connect to your server and send emails from it, spammers would abuse it. whom to you want to accept mails from for relay?
[13:06] <ElixirVitae> Not everyone is as high profile as firefox with lotsa developer/packagers
[13:06] <xsobex787> i just need to copy pasta from this mounted volume to my external
[13:06] <xsobex787> then fresh install
[13:06] <dr_willis> ElixirVitae:  normally only security updates happen. untill the next release.
[13:06] <gac> Eagleman: generally speaking, if I'm @domaina.com, I would never relay mail from domainb.com to domainc.com, because these two domains are both outside of my domain
[13:06] <nibbler> xsobex787, sudo cp -ax /source/path /dest/path ?
[13:06] <gac> Eagleman: as a rule of thumb, if I was running domainA.com, then either the sender or recipient would have to be @domainA.com otherwise it's nothing to do with me
[13:06] <dr_willis> ElixirVitae:  if you always want the latest of everything then a rolling release or source based disrto may be better for you.
[13:06] <ElixirVitae> But I can stay with LTS and have updates from official repos/downloads from each program.
[13:06] <nibbler> sw: any progress?
[13:07] <ElixirVitae> As long as dependencies are fine, I am good, I presume.
[13:07] <Eagleman> hmm, so i cant setup a gateway for sending mail and forwarding it to my isp?
[13:07] <t0bis> Does anyone available for a hand on Vhosts configuration for an Apache2 server ?
[13:07] <ElixirVitae> I want OS to be stable, programs to be newer, I don't want to cut my edges, if you catch my drift.
[13:08] <dr_willis> Latest is not always stable.
[13:08] <gac> Eagleman: you can, but not from eagleman.net, probably
[13:08] <Eagleman> i understand what you mean gac, but how do i let my users mail?  i cant let them use smtp.eagleman.net, since they will get an relayacces denied
[13:08] <cfhowlett> ElixirVitae: LTS, backports enabled and run sudo dist-upgrade every now and then
[13:09] <ElixirVitae> I thought dist-upgrade was to go from one version to the next.
[13:09] <ElixirVitae> Is it not?
[13:09] <nibbler> Eagleman, is smtp.eagleman.net reachable from the internet ?
[13:09] <Eagleman> gac, the mail server cant mail anyways, since i am on a resident ip address, blocked by zenhaus. thats why i set up a relay_host to my isp
[13:09] <Eagleman> yes it is
[13:10] <nibbler> Eagleman, ok, was just on it. your users need to auth to use it as relay
[13:10] <bono> on 12.04 in gnome (classic): xrdb -load ~/.Xresources does what it should do; but after logging in a new gnome session it doesn't seem to load the Xresources. Any idea?
[13:10] <Eagleman> you were on it with telnet?
[13:10] <dr_willis> ElixirVitae:  it updates tinstalled packages.. NOT to the next release
[13:10] <nibbler> Eagleman, but this is not allowed yet
[13:10] <cfhowlett> ElixirVitae: nope.  dist-release will upgrade a distro.
[13:10] <nibbler> Eagleman, yes
[13:11] <ElixirVitae> Oh.
[13:11] <slamons> installed 12.04 on an hp 8460p over the holiday but can't seem to adjust the display brightness.  any tips/pointers?
[13:11]  * ElixirVitae knows better now.
[13:11] <ElixirVitae> Thanks~
[13:11] <cfhowlett> ElixirVitae: the dist-upgrade and backports will capture new/upgraded official packages
[13:11] <dr_willis> bono:  have it auto run on login via your .config/autostart directory perhaps?
[13:11] <Eagleman> nibbler could you send what you did on telnet?
[13:11] <Eagleman> what error did you get
[13:11] <Eagleman> how do you know you have to authenticate
[13:11] <ElixirVitae> dist-upgrade is done through update manager as well, yes?
[13:11] <nibbler> Eagleman, relay access denied. is what i got
[13:12] <Eagleman> what was your RCPT TO: ?
[13:12] <nibbler> Eagleman, if you do relay for unauthenticated users, you WILL BE ABUSED AND THERFOR BLACKLISTED and unable to send any email ever again and your isp will send a hitman after you
[13:12] <nibbler> Eagleman, of course my rcpt to not local to you, as i tried to relay and not to deliver
[13:13] <db56> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh2Lx1GPTqo
[13:13] <db56> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh2Lx1GPTqo
[13:13] <FloodBot1> db56: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:13] <Eagleman> nibbler:  smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
[13:13] <nibbler> Eagleman, i suggest some reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_mail_relay
[13:13] <nibbler> Eagleman, yes, but you don't have sasl auth configured
[13:14] <Eagleman> i dont?
[13:14] <Eagleman> smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
[13:15] <nibbler> Eagleman, i gues you don't have a auth backend or whatsoever. see the difference:  http://nopaste.info/5bdd8eee53.html
[13:17] <dfgmme> anyone any app for keeping record of internet data usage
[13:17] <cfhowlett> ElixirVitae: yes through update manager or via the command line
[13:18] <llutz> !info vnstat | dfgmme
[13:19] <Eagleman> weird
[13:19] <dfgmme> ok how to i check my last login ?
[13:19] <Eagleman> ANy idea why nibbler?
[13:19] <Sling> dfgmme: /var/log/auth.log will show you system logins
[13:19] <xsobex787> root folder contents are currently unreadable
[13:19] <vmouse> permision deny
[13:20] <Pici> dfgmme: 'check' in what way?
[13:20] <magik_> Hey guys I have been having a problem with xchat causing the gui to crash causing me to have to reboot any suggestions?  This happens when I hide xchat and then bring it back up but randomly
[13:20] <xsobex787> goodnight
[13:21] <vmouse> goodnight too
[13:21] <nibbler> Eagleman, http://nopaste.info/20d0d831cd.html stuff like this might help, but this requires dovecot (or cyrus or similar) as a backend, which needs to be configured to correspond correctly with postfix... email is no trivial topic.....
[13:22] <Eagleman> nibbler i already setup dovecot as backend
[13:22] <nibbler> Eagleman, you have config lines similar to mine?
[13:24] <Eagleman> Yes nibbler
[13:24] <magik_> I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit Unity - wcompiz ,  While using XChat sometimes when I hide the XChat window then bring it back causes a glitchy response flickery screen so I end up having to reboot the machine any suggestions?
[13:24] <dmi> hey all
[13:25] <dmi> I'm hoping someone can answer me a question about gparted
[13:25] <dmi> I have a 3TiB disk, which was formatted using MBR rather than GPT
[13:25] <Eagleman> nibbler:  http://pastebin.com/gkuqjX8e
[13:25] <cfhowlett> magik_: this is the xchat app?  consider dropping that in favor of the xchat plugin to firefox
[13:25] <dmi> I was planning to use gparted to move the original partition to make room for the GPT at the start of the disk
[13:26] <dfgmme> thanks gusy
[13:26] <magik_> cfhowlett, yeah I'm using the xchat app.
[13:26] <dmi> but gparted seems to allow me to use the full disk
[13:26] <dmi> my question: will it upgrade the disk to use GPT automatically?
[13:26] <cfhowlett> magik_: there is a firefox plugin.
[13:26] <Ben64> cfhowlett: whats wrong with xchat
[13:27] <cfhowlett> Ben64: magik_ reports that it futz his screen and forces a reboot
[13:27] <BluesKaj> will what upgrade ? , dmi ?
[13:27] <Ben64> i've never had an issue with xchat, having it as a plugin seems strange
[13:27] <dmi> BluesKaj: will gparted automatically upgrade the disk's MBR to GPT
[13:28] <cfhowlett> Ben64: ymmv ...
[13:28] <magik_> cfhowlett,  I don't wanna use a plugin but thanks for the info
[13:28] <dmi> so basically, the partition setup at the moment is one 2TiB partition with an MBR (msdos) partition table
[13:28] <dmi> if I ask gparted to resize the partition to fill the 3TiB disk, will it also move the partition and change the partition table to GPT format?
[13:28] <dmi> I can't seem to find any information about this one way or the other
[13:28] <nibbler> Eagleman, you are lucky, and everything is fine. just use submission port (587), this is where you already have authentication allowed, and its easier for your users to use, because less blocky ;)
[13:29] <dmi> it doesn't say it will do this when I queue up the operation (without applying it)
[13:29] <dmi> and I don't really want to destroy nearly 2TiB of data :-)
[13:29] <cfhowlett> dmi: convert mbr to gpt can be done, but gpartd won't do so automatically.
[13:29] <dmi> cfhowlett: awesome; that's exactly what I needed to know
[13:29] <nibbler> Eagleman, http://nopaste.info/383c88b77e.html - see, all auth options available
[13:29] <krywk> I need help with the Linux Steam Client.
[13:29] <Eagleman> nibbler the main idea was to disable port 25
[13:29] <senorbusybox> hello, ubuntu wasnt able to mount after restart, now I'm in the busybox, what can I do? I have no clue what to do now
[13:29] <dmi> so my plan is to move the partition up by 1MiB or so, and then convert to GPT, then resize it
[13:29] <krywk> More with Team Fortress 2.
[13:30] <cfhowlett> krywk: best to ask steam ... it's their beta product ...
[13:30] <nibbler> Eagleman, you need 25 for receiing
[13:30] <Pici> krywk: Please ask in #ubuntu-steam
[13:30] <Eagleman> recieveing in what way?
[13:30] <krywk> cfhowlett, I've already asked in the steam for Linux chat, no response.
[13:30] <Ben64> krywk: whats the problem
[13:30] <Eagleman> MTA to MTA ?
[13:30] <krywk> It hints to opening, but nothing happens.
[13:30] <cfhowlett> krywk: again ...beta
[13:30] <BluesKaj> if you install ubuntu beside windows then grub will chainload the mbr , so to speak and include it in the menu , and of course you need to create ext4 partitons for / and /home and swap ...otherwise I don't know what you mean
[13:31] <dmi> BluesKaj: it's pure-Ubuntu; an in-office server
[13:31] <dmi> BluesKaj: but it doesn't support UEFI boot... which isn't a problem, as this 3TiB RAID is just pure data storage, not used for booting
[13:32] <dmi> BluesKaj: but I think I've got the answer I need from cfhowlett, thanks
[13:32] <Eagleman> nibbler:  25 is for MTA-to-MTA mail exchange. 587 is for user-to-MSA mail submission.   right?
[13:32] <Ben64> krywk: make sure you have graphics drivers installed and you have the requirements for tf2
[13:33] <senorbusybox> I dont know what to do, do I need to reinstall ubuntu?
[13:33] <krywk> Ben64, Graphics Drivers up to date, and I'm pretty sure I do have the requirements to run it. 4GB RAM DDR3 1333MHz, GeForce 9800GT 1GB GDDR3, Intel Core i3 @ 3.1 Ghz (2 phys-cores, 2 virtual cores)
[13:33] <krywk> So yeah.
[13:34] <raven> any way to "attach" processes that were started by cron to see theyr messages?
[13:34] <BluesKaj> oh thatEFI raises it's ugly head again ..guess I'd better do some research
[13:34] <Eagleman> raven run those processes in screen
[13:34] <Eagleman> than you can attach the screen and see what they do
[13:34] <raven> Eagleman started by cron  in background
[13:35] <Eagleman> So?
[13:35] <Eagleman> You can still add screen in the cronjob
[13:36] <raven_> any way to do it like i needed?
[13:36] <Eagleman> I dont know what you do in the cronjob
[13:37] <raven_> Eagleman, i start a tool in the cron i later want to see its messages live (not only in a textfile)
[13:37] <Eagleman> does the tool stdout ?
[13:37] <raven_> Eagleman, i think so
[13:38] <Eagleman> screen will do the job for you then
[13:38] <Eagleman> how do you write ot to a file with >
[13:38] <Eagleman> do you write it to a file like this command > file.log  ?
[13:38] <raven_> yes
[13:38] <Eagleman> you have 2 options
[13:38] <Eagleman> use tail -f on the file
[13:39] <Pici> !enter
[13:39] <Sling> Eagleman: try it and see, echo "test" > testfile
[13:39] <Eagleman> or use screen
[13:39] <raven_> and tail -f is reloading/live?
[13:39] <Sling> oh wait
[13:39] <Sling> im misreading :)
[13:39] <Eagleman> yes it is raven
[13:39] <Ben64> krywk: run it from terminal and see what it says
[13:39] <krywk> Game update: AppID 440 "Team Fortress 2", ProcID 7491, IP <IP_ADDRESS>:0
[13:39] <krywk> /bin/sh: 1: /home/krywk/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/krywk/Team Fortress 2/hl2.sh: not found
[13:39] <krywk> Game removed: AppID 440 "Team Fortress 2", ProcID 7491
[13:39] <krywk> saving roaming config store to 'sharedconfig.vdf'
[13:39] <krywk> roaming config store 2 saved successfully
[13:40] <FloodBot1> krywk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:40] <krywk> That's what it says.
[13:40] <raven_> Eagleman, oh yes thats an option! tnx
[13:40] <Eagleman> raven if the file size changes ( it happens when things get added ) tail -f will show you what changes
 /bin/sh: 1: /home/krywk/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/krywk/Team Fortress 2/hl2.sh: not found
[13:40] <Ben64> you might want to check that bit
[13:41] <krywk> Ben64, yeah, even though the file is there.
[13:41] <Ben64> well it can't find it, so theres your problem
[13:41] <Sling> you most likely need to escape the spaces with a backslash
[13:42] <krywk> hang on a sec
[13:42] <raven_> Eagleman, does >> file.txt append to the file?
[13:43] <krywk> my tf2 folder was called 'team fortress 2', steam was searching for 'Team Fortress 2'
[13:43] <Sling> raven_: yes
[13:43] <Ben64> krywk: why is it in .local anyway
[13:43] <raven_> ok
[13:43] <senorbusybox> I think I reinstall ubuntu
[13:44] <krywk> There
[13:44] <krywk> solved
[13:44] <krywk> Thanks for the help anyways c:
[13:46] <Eagleman> Can i prevent mail submission on port 25 and still accept mail exchange on port 25 in postfix?  Same for port 587 but then otherwise > 25 is for MTA-to-MTA mail exchange. 587 is for user-to-MSA mail submission.
[13:46] <senorbusybox> my ubuntu server edition wont boot anymore, what can I do?
[13:47] <Eagleman> senorbusybox boot from a livecd and go trough the logs on the filesystem
[13:48] <Mandalord> senorbusybox: did it print out anything?
[13:48] <Ubuntu-erikas> Hello
[13:48] <senorbusybox>  "Target filesystem doesn't have reqeusted /sbin/init."
[13:48] <senorbusybox> Mandalord:
[13:48] <senorbusybox> Eagleman: going to do that
[13:49] <Ben64> senorbusybox: sounds very broken
[13:49] <senorbusybox> SHIT
[13:49] <Mandalord> senorbusybox: you may want to try reinstall grub2
[13:49] <nibbler> raven, Eagleman: you can give reptyr a try, but thats a dirty hack
[13:50] <nibbler> Eagleman, when i grew up, it was port 25 only.... but i guess today you are right
[13:50] <Eagleman> nibbler there are no official ways?
[13:50] <Mandalord> senorbusybox: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1705423
[13:51] <nibbler> Eagleman, to not open port25? well - iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j DROP, but thats a hack. i'm sure there is also a nice way
[13:51] <Ben64> senorbusybox: what did you do to it
[13:51] <krz> i am dual booting. win7 for the occasional game, and linux for everything else. I've got a nvidia 680m 4gb gpu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee if i only want to install bumblebee for its power savings feature. is it enough just to run sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends bumblebee linux-headers-generic?
[13:51] <schnuffle> Eagleman: havent't followed, what's your problem with port 25?
[13:52] <senorbusybox> Mandalord: starting a live-cd now via usb
[13:52] <senorbusybox> thanks
[13:52] <Eagleman> schnuffle nothing, but i am trying to setup a secure box. and if i am right port 25 is only used for mail exchanged. on my machine i am able to also use port 25 for submission
[13:52] <senorbusybox> Ben64: apparently nothing, I think my harddisck is just broken
[13:53] <nibbler> Eagleman, you are fine as long as you don't open-relay, so dont worry
[13:53] <schnuffle> Eagleman: That can be changed i the postfix/exim/sendmail config, you would disbale realy on port 25 and only allow it on 587
[13:53] <Eagleman> nibbler why is my isp blocking port 25 then? for mail submission
[13:54] <Eagleman> disbale realy ?
[13:54] <nibbler> Eagleman, because he does not comply with net neutrality (and thinks you might spam if he does not watch you)
[13:54] <schnuffle> Eagleman: That could be due to load considerations
[13:55] <nibbler> schnuffle, blocking 25 for load considerations, or do i get the context wrong here?
[13:55] <schnuffle> nibbler: not blocking 25 but blocking smtp auth and relay on port 25, that's a difference and should be RFC compatible
[13:56]  * nibbler just can't see any load considerations anywhere around
[13:56] <Eagleman> should be done in master.cf under smtp right?
[13:57] <schnuffle> Eagleman: Depends on your setup, either main.cf or master.cf
[13:57] <Eagleman> i am a bit confused by my own setup..
[13:58] <schnuffle> nibbler: Imagine a heavy loaded smtp server. And now you can offload all the auth/relay checks and TLS load onto another server. Just a thought, I don't have any knowledge about the big providers
[13:58] <Eagleman> schnuffle: smtpd_relay_restrictions and the one for auth is?
[13:58] <senorbusybox> Mandalord: I'm inside my live-cd, yet my harddisks are not mounted, for some reason the link you gave me, his harddisks were already mounted
[13:59] <darryl> when an ubuntu bug is marked as 'fix committed' how long does it take the change to show up in the repo?
[13:59] <schnuffle> Eagleman: As long as you don't have any loops in your postfix ( aka pass over to amavis and the reinject to postfix) you can do it in the restriction classes
[13:59] <darryl> specifically this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173/+bug/1064192
[14:00] <schnuffle> Eagleman: I would place it in smptd_recipeint_restrictions.
[14:01] <senorbusybox> Mandalord: ah wait, I get it now, but what do I do when I have a raid system?
[14:03] <senorbusybox> Mandalord: could it be my mounted disk is /dev/mapper/sil_bhadbgcdahff?
[14:05] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: yes
[14:08] <gnarp> hi, does anyone here use/know GCStar? i wonder if and how remotely adding items is secured, ssl or something? or is ti plaintext?
[14:08] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: http://pinoy-computing-tips.blogspot.de/2010/08/how-to-fix-ubuntu-error-no-init-found.html
[14:09] <darryl> is there an unstable repository for updates to quantal?
[14:09] <Ben64> darryl: proposed?
[14:10] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: I tried to do this, got at the part where I have to sudo fdisk -l (to get the device name), errormessage appears: Filesystem monted or opened exclusively by another program?
[14:10] <senorbusybox> and it's not mounted
[14:10] <Ben64> senorbusybox: but you have raid?
[14:11] <odie5533> Should I be mounting network drives to /media/subfolder? The folder is owned by root.
[14:11] <senorbusybox> Ben64: yes, I think software based
[14:11] <Ben64> senorbusybox: then it might work differently, i don't know
[14:12] <thompcha> Can somebody help me troubleshoot a slow tomcat7 startup on ubuntu server 12.10?
[14:12] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: if it's in a RAID you won't see it mounted only the RAID. You can check it with mdadm --detail /dev/mdXX
[14:13] <schnuffle> where mdXX are the ones found under /dev
[14:14] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: so sda and sdc
[14:15] <senorbusybox> and I guess /dev/mapper/sil_bhadbgcdahff is the mounted version of those 2
[14:16] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: think so as well. the mdadm command gives you the infos about your raid and the integrated partitions
[14:17] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: paste the output of mount and ls -l /dev/md* to pastebin
[14:17] <raven_> Eagleman, tail -f would be a nice solution but i just found out that the tool i start with cron (ezstream) only writes into the txt file when its closed
[14:19] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: no such file or directory
[14:19] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: and the output of the mount command?
[14:20] <Eagleman> raven google for: man screen
[14:21] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: I dont know how the mount command should look like
[14:21] <Global_Radio> is there a command to find out the make and model of your motherboard
[14:21] <raven_> Eagleman, i am using tmux already any solution for the thing to write every message immediately?
[14:22] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: just: mount  that will list the mounted partitions, You can use pastebinit like mount | pastebinit will give you a link to the pastebin URL
[14:22] <bekks> Global_Radio: maybe dmidecode can help you.
[14:22] <Eagleman> raven_ hack the application and try to look where it stores temp logs
[14:22] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: what mount?
[14:23] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: open a terminal and enter the command mount
[14:23] <bekks> senorbusybox: The command "mount"
[14:23] <arshavin> Global_Radio: sudo dmidecide
[14:25] <Toph2> arshavin,,, that produced a 'command not found' for me
[14:25] <arshavin> Toph2 : sudo dmidecode
[14:26] <nextblove> hello want to configure my network interface dont know where is locate ifcfg-eth0 in  ubuntu please i need ur help
[14:27] <bekks> nextblove: There is no ifcfg-eth0 in Ubuntu. There is /etc/network/interfaces
[14:27] <arshavin> Toph2: sorry for the typo here is right command sudo dmidecode
[14:27] <schnuffle> nextblove: ifcfg-* is centos
[14:27] <bekks> schnuffle: Or redhat.
[14:27] <nextblove> ok thank schnuffle
[14:27] <Toph2> arshavin,,, yup,, lots of output there
[14:27] <nextblove> yeah cause am using always redhat
[14:27] <nextblove> thats why
[14:27] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: situation changed a bit: Live cd crahsed -> restarted pc -> my ubuntu is booting again, yet I want to find still an answer since it's the 3rd time it happened, pastebin comming soon
[14:28] <arshavin> look through it should have Product name
[14:28] <Eagleman> nibbler, back to the original question, openrelay in combination with:   -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject   would make it a lot more safe?
[14:29] <eman__> q
[14:29] <eman__> exit
[14:29] <nibbler> Eagleman, it would not be open relay anymore, as its not open ;-)
[14:29] <arshavin> Toph2: try this to reduce output sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
[14:29] <nibbler> eman__, /quit
[14:29] <nextblove> please can i have a doc for howto configure static interface ?
[14:29] <eman__> thx
[14:29] <Eagleman> but it allows me to use the smtp server to send mail to anything outside the eagleman.net and jrpoot.eu scope ?
[14:29] <schnuffle> Eagleman: Paste your whole restriction classes as just a part doesn't give any hints about security
[14:29] <Eagleman> like a proxy
[14:30] <Hanbaal> Howdy. im trying to install something with synaptic and i dont seem to be able to click on OK to agree with the terms. Return doesnt work either. what could i possibly be doing wrong?
[14:30] <nibbler> Eagleman, you dont need open ports to send emails. i'd answer "yes"
[14:30] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/3E7CtT3N
[14:30] <feeshon> nextblove: you can use the nework manager
[14:30] <jrib> Hanbaal: can you take a screenshot and show us what you see?
[14:30] <feeshon> or you want to edit the iterfaces file under networking
[14:30] <Eagleman> how do i set up openrelay then? since i am only allowed to send emails to domains in the scope
[14:30] <Hanbaal> hang on
[14:31] <nextblove> dont have graphical interface feeshon:
[14:31] <sgo11> hi, anyone use supervisord? how to get rid of warning messages: "cElementTree not installed" and "Server 'unix_http_server' running without any HTTP authentication checking" ? thanks.
[14:31] <Toph2> arshavin,,, that gave:  To be filled by O.E.M.
[14:31] <Global_Radio> is there a way to know what graphics cards will be compatible with a certain motherboard?
[14:31] <schnuffle> nextblove: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[14:31] <feeshon> nextblove: /etc/network/interfaces
[14:32] <nextblove> yeah but want to setup static interface?
[14:32] <arshavin> Toph2 : sudo dmidecode -s  system-manufacturer
[14:32] <schnuffle> nextblove: check the link it shows how to do it
[14:32] <feeshon> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html
[14:33] <feeshon> There you go nextblove
[14:34] <Toph2> arshavin,,, yes,, that gave me the Manufacturer , but not the model of the MB
[14:34] <schnuffle> Eagleman: you should start reading some docs at postfix.org as configuring a MTA can e very risky. One way could be to allow relaying for specific IPs ( internal network for example)
[14:34] <feeshon> nextblove: For future reference google helps a lot before coming to irc
[14:35] <laura_palmer> feeshon: In other words, RTFM ;)
[14:35] <arshavin> Toph2: try typing dmidecode --help it will list srings that you can put after -s
[14:35] <feeshon> thanks laura_palmer
[14:35] <Toph2> arshavin,,, ok,, good idea,, thanks
[14:35] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: hmm apparently no mounted disks but you still can access your HDDs?
[14:35] <nextblove> ok feeshon
[14:35] <nextblove> thank
[14:36] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: since I was able to boot, I have full access again
[14:36] <senorbusybox> so I guess I could run every command now
[14:36] <schnuffle> senorbusybox: so the last time you mounted the disks someway, anyway what is your goal?
[14:37] <raven_> Eagleman, is there really no way to attach stdout messages by process id??
[14:37] <arshavin> Toph2: or to find motherboard model try sudo dmidecode|grep "Product Name: "
[14:38] <senorbusybox> schnuffle: yeah but, this also happened yesterday, I want to find an answer what causes this before it may be too late
[14:38] <schnuffle> raven_: you can do it in the start command and redirect the outputs e.g. command 1>/log.txt 2>&1
[14:38] <Eagleman> raven_ you were saying that stdout is written upon exit of the application
[14:39] <bekks> Eagleman: Thats wrong. stdout is writte at any time the application wants to write to it.
[14:39] <raven_> Eagleman, it writes the messages into the terminal if started manually but into file it writes only at kill
[14:40] <Eagleman> > always worked for me
[14:40] <raven_> Eagleman, yes i wonder too
[14:41] <MarKsaitis> can somebody tell me, why on the damn earth change ldap-pam.conf name to ldap.conf ?!?!?!!!!
[14:41] <MarKsaitis> on ubuntu?
[14:42] <MarKsaitis> if the program is called ldap-pam, it does make ALOT of sense, to keep the config file named ldap-pam.conf ????? I bet millions would agree to that, what the hell is going on!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:42] <MarKsaitis> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:44] <Gnea> MarKsaitis: Could you please tone down the excitement?  Nobody is going to answer or take seriously a question or demand with so much punctuation.  Also, language.  Finally, not sure what your question is, it's not very clear.
[14:44] <Pici> MarKsaitis: Its nothing that Ubuntu is doing. We sync the package from debian and thats how the file is named there. http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/libpam-ldap/filelist
[14:45] <Michiellllaptop> can someone tell me how i can get flash for chrome?
[14:45] <Gnea> Michiellllaptop: chrome uses the same flash that other browsers on the system do
[14:45] <Gnea> !flash | Michiellllaptop
[14:45] <bekks> Chrome has a builtin pepperflash.
[14:45] <nearst> hiya
[14:45] <nearst> hiya
[14:45] <Michiellllaptop> ok
[14:45] <Michiellllaptop> thnx
[14:45] <Gnea> np
[14:46] <MarKsaitis> Pici, ok

[14:46] <vrnithin> hi am using ubuntu 12.04 and when i tried to set my screen brightness permanently by using   "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness" am getting  an error like the path does not exist...
[14:46] <nearst> hiya
[14:46] <bekks> nearst: Stop it please.
[14:46] <schnuffle> nearst: any questions?
[14:46] <nearst> hiya
[14:46] <arshavin> bekks: wt is this pepperflash
[14:46] <nearst> hiya
[14:46] <FloodBot1> nearst: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:46] <vrnithin> anyone please help ..
[14:46] <bekks> arshavin: A flash implementation in Chrome.
[14:47] <schnuffle> vrnithin: the check if the path exists
[14:47] <arshavin> bekks: does that mean you dont have to have flash player installed on your system?
[14:47] <nibbler> vrnithin, does the patch exist? cat you cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness ?
[14:47] <bekks> arshavin: Correct.
[14:48] <vrnithin> nibbler, i checked and the path is not exist..
[14:48] <nearst> aww
[14:48] <nibbler> vrnithin, then your hardware and/or driver does not support this in this way
[14:48] <laura_palmer> vrnithin: You shouldn't run commands on your system without understanding what they are actually doing
[14:48] <Gnea> bekks: they only started doing that in version 21
[14:48] <bekks> Gnea: Correct. :)
[14:48] <nearst> hiya
[14:49] <vrnithin> nibbler, is der any other way to set my brightness fixed ?
[14:49] <Gnea> I'm on 12.04 and my chrome is 20, so it uses the flash that I installed
[14:49] <arshavin> vrnithin:  what graphics card do you have ?
[14:50] <k1l> nearst: if you got a question: ask! but please keep this channel free for other support questions if you dont have a technical issue. thanks :)
[14:50] <vrnithin> nibbler, nvidia gforce 525
[14:50] <nearst> k1l: sure!
[14:51] <arshavin> vrnithin: are you using proprietary drivers of nouveau
[14:51] <vrnithin> nibbler, nope..bumblebeee
[14:52] <arshavin> vrnithin, sorry no experience with bumblebee maybe you should google for it
[14:54] <vrnithin> no other fix ?
[14:55] <nearst> what mean EDID block  invalid ? on my radeon ?
[14:55] <arshavin> vrnithin, if you have nvidia drivers,you should be able to adjust it graphically
[14:56] <ExxKA> Hi Guys. I have developed some server software that I will be running of ubuntu instances. I am unsure abuot what service initializer to go for, init / upstart or a third solution? These a simple servers that do not interact with other services on the machines (no hotplug) they just need to be kept alive, and go down for maintenance
[14:56] <sgo11> anyone is good at supervisord? failed to find any useful information with google...
[14:56] <Note_> Hello, I own a VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 and nginx running on it, I am wanting to be able to give a friend access to only a certain folder through ssh, is that possible?
[14:56] <arshavin> nearst, try adding nomodeset as kernel option during boot
[14:57] <nearst> kk.. nomodeset is very common issue.
[14:57] <ExxKA> Note_, access so that he can download and upload files?
[14:58] <schnuffle> Note_: you can use libpam-chroot to chroot some of your logins
[14:58] <Note_> ExxKA: I want to give him access to only one part of the vps which will be a folder within nginx, so that he can upload his own website, create directories for his www.domain.com/directory1/directory2
[14:58] <Note_> etc
[14:58] <vrnithin> arshavein, i can  fix it graphically..but every time i reboot its getting reset...
[14:58] <ExxKA> Note_, sounds like you need to setup an ftp server
[14:59] <Note_> Ah
[14:59] <schnuffle> Note_: If it's only for up/download use a FTP server like proftpd with sftp
[14:59] <vrnithin> arshavein, is there any way to fix it permanently  ?
[14:59] <ExxKA> Note_, if you just give him ftp access, there is no way he can get to the rest of your system as opposed to ssh where he will be able to start applications and otherwise mess about
[14:59] <Note_> Ah, FTP seems like the better option then
[14:59] <arshavin> vrnithin, i don't have bumblebee stuff so it's difficult to tell anything about the issue
[14:59] <Note_> Is there any good tutorials for what I'd need?
[15:00] <ExxKA> Note_, what schnuffle suggested will give your friend a sandbox environment using ssh
[15:00] <phax> hi guys i upgraded to Ubunto 12.0.4 and the networking manager does not start up by default bot h the wired and wireless interfaces are down...any assistance?
[15:00] <ExxKA> Note_, I am sure you can find tons of guides on the internet :)
[15:00] <Note_> I'll just use FTP, seems easier for both of us :)
[15:00] <Note_> Thank you
[15:00] <nearst> phax: try manual wired/wireless
[15:01] <phax> nearst: i can manually start dhclient eth0 and use iwlise to see wireless networks...but on the earlier version i was using 10.0.4 there was an applet  for viewing surrounding networks
[15:02] <Slart_> Hello, I just reinstalled ubuntu 12.10 (64bit) and my desktop is kind of laggy when I move windows around.. I remember having this problem when I last reinstalled but that was over a year ago and I've forgotten what I did to fix it.. Any hints on what to try? I've read some of the bug-reports but haven't found anything useful so far
[15:02] <Slart_> \quit
[15:02] <Slart> bah.. already had an irssi window open..
[15:03] <BluesKaj> nearst, it could be your monitor isn't being recognized by the graphics card, ..I used to get that error with the default driver on ati radeon , but that was a long time ago.
[15:03] <arshavin> vrnithin, maybe you can try using vendor backlight solution form this post http://www.techjail.net/solved-brightness-problem-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin.html
[15:04] <geothom> Happy New Year for everyone and many wishes for a  lot linux users
[15:07] <abdul> hello bekks...i updated the virtual box to 4.2  via command prompt, restarted my pc but i couldnt find the virtual box icon itself, so i went to software center and noticed that it was uninstalled, i installed it back but its showing the previous version
[15:07] <arshavin> vrnithin, otherwise have a look at this bumblebee power management how to https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Power-Management
[15:07] <abdul> even from software center...they only have version 4.1.12
[15:07] <abdul> or do i have to upgrade  my ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10
[15:07] <bekks> abdul: You have to install the official vbox version. Thats all.
[15:08] <Eagleman> schnuffle adding my current ip in mynetworks allows me to send email to everyone, isnt there a option to allow users authed with the server to relay to everything
[15:08] <abdul> ok thanks
[15:09] <schnuffle> Eagleman: of course it's permit_sasl_authenticated
[15:09] <Eagleman> so mynetworks = IP's  $permit_sasl_authenticated ?
[15:10] <schnuffle> smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated,   reject_unauth_destination,
[15:10] <schnuffle>         reject_unauth_pipelining,
[15:10] <schnuffle>         reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
[15:10] <schnuffle>         check_policy_service inet:<IP_ADDRESS>:12525
[15:10] <schnuffle> oops soory
[15:10] <FloodBot1> schnuffle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:11] <schnuffle> Eagleman: see http://pastebin.com/4YPWxH5w that show the restriction class for a full festured MTA
[15:12] <schnuffle> Eagleman: always keep in mind that the order is important and the other restriction classes can lead to a unsecure server as well
[15:13] <Eagleman> Ok that works :)
[15:14] <Eagleman> schnuffle, if i am right. everything i did here: http://pastebin.com/j8xWcdHk  like for example   -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=reject  only applies to port 25 right?
[15:16] <schnuffle> Eagleman: Yes but reject everything seems strange to me. Doesn't the server has mails it is responsible for?
[15:16] <Eagleman> schnuffle i only want mail exchange to happen on port 25 not submission, did i do this wrong?
[15:16] <gardon> hello, which one can help me about router dealer mode
[15:17] <schnuffle> Eagleman: you have reject on smtp which means your MTA will not acept any mail on port 25
[15:17] <usr13> gardon: What are you trying to do?
[15:18] <D4d0> Hello
[15:18] <gardon> usr13, sorry, I'm asking question about zeromq , it's wrong area
[15:18] <usr13> gardon: Ok
[15:19] <jil> hello
[15:19] <Eagleman> schnuffle so how do i disable submission on port 25 and allow mail exchange?
[15:21] <pinkpelican> Hello!
[15:21] <schnuffle> Eagleman: you disable sasl on port 25 and you forbid relaying. So switch the master entry back to default an set something like: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_destination, reject_unauth_pipelining
[15:22] <linda666> hi... Im using ubuntu 12.04, i have virtual box installed. having problems with my guest OS detecting usb. no usb are available under my Devices>USB Devices menu. anyone can help how to troubleshoot that? I tried installing guest additions. the guest additions only mounts a CD icon on my guest's OS (which btw is Centos 6.3) and by double-clicking that only a folder opens.. can anyone help please??
[15:22] <pinkpelican> dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda1 bs=4KB& pid=$!
[15:22] <pinkpelican> I used this command
[15:23] <pinkpelican> It has taken 16 hours to overwrite 80GB of disk.
[15:23] <pinkpelican> Does using pid to display progress slow down the rate of process?
[15:23] <usr13> pinkpelican: Not sure about the bs designation.
[15:23] <usr13> pinkpelican: Where did you get that?
[15:24] <Slart> linda666: there used to be two versions of virtualbox, one without usb (amongst some other things) and one with it.. ubuntu repos shipped with the one without usb
[15:24] <strixbg> How to create usb live from Ubuntu 13.04 daily .iso?, I tried LinuxLive USB Creator and Universal-USB-Installer from pendrivelinux, both ways get "/boot/vmlinuz is missing" on boot from usb flash drive
[15:24] <pinkpelican> http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1868/watch-the-progress-of-dd
[15:24] <Pici> pinkpelican: all the pid part of that does is assign the actual pid of the dd process to a shell environment variable called pid.  it has no bearing on how fast or slow that dd is running.
[15:24] <Slart> linda666: not sure what it's like at the moment though.. did you install the one from the virtualbox site or the one from the ubuntu repos?
[15:24] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: shred can do that for you
[15:24] <linda666> Slart, omg thats bad. any suggestions how i can work-around that?
[15:24] <linda666> Slart, ubuntu repo
[15:24] <pinkpelican> schnuffle can I see progress of shred?
[15:25] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: let me check
[15:25] <pinkpelican> Pici, so the rapidly changing display doesn't effect time?
[15:25] <Slart> linda666: they are both free so it's just a matter of downloading the package from virtualbox.org .. still a one-click-install iirc
[15:25] <Eagleman> schnuffle, ok and how can i be sure mail exchange will still work?
[15:25] <linda666> Slart, so you suggest I unistall this and install the other one?
[15:25] <Slart> linda666: yup
[15:26] <schnuffle> Eagleman: Test it :)
[15:26] <Pici> pinkpelican: The second part with the while true might be slowing things down.
[15:26] <Eagleman> like sending mail to another external domain :P?
[15:26] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: the -v options shows you the progress
[15:26] <pinkpelican> Pici, thank you.
[15:26] <Slart> linda666: everything still looks and works the same.. except for the usb thing
[15:26] <linda666> Slart, alright thx :)
[15:26] <Slart> linda666: you're welcome
[15:26] <pinkpelican> schnuffle, for shred or for both shred and dd?
[15:26] <schnuffle> Eagleman: if you have a public IP you can use some relay tests and for sending yes send something to external adress
[15:27] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: for shred
[15:27] <pinkpelican> Pici, would watch -n1 "kill -USR1 $pid" slow things down less than while true; if that is what's causing the slowdown or if there is a slowdown?
[15:27] <Eagleman> WHere can i find a relay test?
[15:27] <ikonia> there are many on the net
[15:27] <ikonia> or a basic HELO/ELO test
[15:27] <pinkpelican> schnuffle, thanks for the help.
[15:28] <Pici> pinkpelican: no, that would do the same thing.   Maybe change the refresh time for watch to more than just one second, or do the same via the while true command
[15:28] <schnuffle> Eagleman: as ikonia told you you can do basic checks with a telnet session
[15:28] <Eagleman> All tested completed! No relays accepted by remote host!
[15:28] <ikonia> Eagleman: then what's the issue ?
[15:28] <pinkpelican> Pici, thank you again.
[15:28] <Eagleman> Nothing now, i guess
[15:29] <Eagleman> there will always be a new issue
[15:29] <pinkpelican> If I installed pv, would pv cause the same type of slowdown?
[15:29] <ikonia> Eagleman: then you ask about the new issue when it comes up
[15:29] <schnuffle> Eagleman: now you need to check if submission, auth and relaying is working correctly
[15:30] <schnuffle> ikonia: He just gave feedback to me
[15:30] <Eagleman> i was able to mail on port 587 to internal and external domains
[15:30] <abdul> bekks: I have installed the same version of virtual box and that of the extension (4.1.12) and enabled usb2.0 but still nothing happened
[15:33] <pinkpelican> I'm trying to use shred, but have no directory /dev/hda
[15:33] <pinkpelican> How do I identify the hard disk's address?
[15:33] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: is it an internal, external .......
[15:33] <pinkpelican> Internal.
[15:33] <linda666> Slrat, 4.2.6 is the latest version in website. is that correct one?
[15:33] <k1l> pinkpelican: /dev/hd* is obsolet. its /dev/sd*
[15:34] <Slart> linda666: yup
[15:34] <pinkpelican> k1l thank you.
[15:34] <k1l> pinkpelican: use "sudo fdisk -l" (its a small L at the end)
[15:34] <giNeeRing> I need some new team players to join up and make some money
[15:34] <k1l> pinkpelican: it lists the harddisks and partitions
[15:34] <k1l> !ot giNeeRing
[15:34] <k1l> !ot | giNeeRing
[15:35] <pinkpelican> k1l, it only listed the partition and the usb
[15:35] <naftilos76> Hi everyone, i made a fresh install of 12.04 on a desktop with an Intel GPU 82Q963/Q965 and the log-in screen is a mess. It goes like a turtle. Very slow so that even when i type my pass i manage to write 5-6 digits and then i can see the text box starting to show the asteriscs! Can anybody help?
[15:35] <pinkpelican> MonkeyDust informed me that sda would be the disk and sda1 the partition.
[15:36] <hilo> hello, I have a question that isn't exactly about Ubuntu, but I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the direction of an application that can help me (which I would run on my Ubuntu system). I recently changed the password to my router, and I fat fingered something. I can't log in and I really do not want to hard reset and have to reconfigure (my setup is non-standard). I know what I meant to type, and have tried many combinations manually. I am
[15:36] <hilo> at the point where I am wondering if there is a tool which I can give the password I meant to type, and then it can hammer based on slight permutations of that.
[15:36] <JHOSMAN> Hi all, I'm from Colombia Ubuntu council and we had a huge problem with mirros for our country (which are brazil) and would like to help us find a solution
[15:36] <JHOSMAN> v
[15:36] <JHOSMAN> Recently in less than a week, the mirror has fallen three times and it is necessary to find a solution. co.archive.ubuntu.com
[15:36] <k1l> pinkpelican: yep that is right. sda(here a number) will name the partition. but fdisk lists the hdds too
[15:36] <pinkpelican> I didn't see it, sorry.
[15:37] <pinkpelican> Thank you either way.
[15:37] <Eagleman> Whats are the differences between the master.cf and main.cf if i place something like smtpd_recipient_restrictions in main.cf
[15:37] <Blacklite_> clear
[15:37] <Blacklite_> sorry
[15:37] <pinkpelican> shred is working much faster, but only detects 150/160 GB for some reason.
[15:37] <Blacklite_> is there a social channel?
[15:38] <schnuffle> Eagleman: everything in the main.cf is valid for every transport. So if you want to have special conf for a transport you define it in master.cf which will overwrite main.cf
[15:38] <Blacklite_> how do KDE apps look on unity for Quantal?
[15:39] <Eagleman> schnuffle so everything in main are general rules and master is for specific ports ?
[15:40] <Blacklite_> i'm considering changing back from fedora to ubuntu because ubuntu is more mainstream.
[15:40] <schnuffle> Yep, the names like smtp .... are defined in /etc/services which maps names to ports
[15:41] <jil> Hello
[15:41] <schnuffle> Eagleman: Master.cf defines the services and special configs and main.cf holds the default and global config
[15:41] <k1l> Blacklite_: for chitty chat we have the #ubuntu-offtopic (if that was the point of asking for a social channel, since this is a technical support channel here)
[15:42] <Blacklite_> thanks
[15:42] <schnuffle> jil: any help neede?
[15:42] <schnuffle> *d
[15:42] <Global_Radio> for some reason flv video wont play in any of my browsers unless I download the file and play it in mplayer or vlc. Can anyone help?
[15:42] <jil> schnuffle: yes many problems.
[15:43] <JHOSMAN> Can anyone tell me where I can contact people to make changes in the mirrors
[15:43] <jil> 1.  I have an I/O error on a fresh installation of ubuntu
[15:43] <schnuffle> !anyone | jil
[15:43] <pinkpelican> while true; do kill -USR1 $pid && sleep 1 && clear; done
[15:43] <boriseto> Global_Radio, do you have flash installed?
[15:43] <pinkpelican> What part of this line refers to time in seconds?
[15:43] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: sleep1
[15:44] <Global_Radio> boriseto, yes i do, and sorry but i have a correction to make. The videos do actually play in my browser but they are choppy
[15:44] <pinkpelican> What would be in it's place if I wanted minutes, sleep 60?
[15:45] <schnuffle> pinkpelican: yep, check with man sleep you ca use a suffix e.g. sleep 1m
[15:46] <schnuffle> I'm off have a nice time
[15:46] <boriseto> Global_Radio, I had the problem. I use indicator-cpufreq for it. Whenever I want to view a video on the browser, I set it to performance mode (since the default is on demand, and for some reason it's still choppy on it). After viewing the video I set it back to powersave or ondemand, so it would save my battery. Try if that fixes the problm.
[15:46] <pinkpelican> Thanks for all the help.
[15:46] <jagosix> hello people
[15:47] <jil> Ok sorry schnuffle.
[15:47] <jagosix> is there a way to install ubuntu on an efi computer ?
[15:47] <jil> I have a fresh ubuntu insall and an I/O error
[15:47] <jil> specificaly I/O error on device fd0 sector 0
[15:47] <pinkpelican> What programming language is linux built with?
[15:48] <jil> http://pastebin.com/cGbGaRqu
[15:48] <pinkpelican> Oh nevermind
[15:48] <pinkpelican> It's probably unix
[15:48] <jagosix> this machine is the new win8 computer. I want to install ubuntu on it . However it's uefi
[15:49] <pinkpelican> Wait unix isn't a programming language.
[15:49] <jil> Also I suspect my disk to be old and not reliable because when I download a big image like an OS image, it decays rapidely.
[15:49] <jagosix> hello
[15:49] <jil> Maybe there's some block on my disk that are not good but I don't know how to identify them
[15:49] <lynus> my server reject ipv6 connection on squid service(port 3128).but accept http and ssh
[15:50] <gsant> jagosix: do you have secure boot enabled ?
[15:50] <newb2> hi all! how can I solve the missing scrollbar at openoffice/livreoffice?
[15:50] <Global_Radio> boriseto, but this is a desktop computer
[15:50] <Global_Radio> shouldn't it be in performance 24/7?
[15:50] <lynus> ip6tables is empty.what could be wrong?
[15:50] <jil> Finaly, I experience many crashes of applications, but I have just installed ubuntu a few days ago, so I'm very confused and I have a hard time convicing my family that ubuntu is good.
[15:50] <linda666> Slart, i downloaded, tried installing by simply double-clicking, got this error from Ubuntu Software Center: Breaks existing package 'virtualbox' that conflict: 'virtualbox' . But the /home/user/Dowloads/....../virtualbox-4.2_4.2.6-82870~Ubuntu~precise_amd64.deb' provides it via: 'virtualbox'
[15:50] <compdoc> jil, read the drive's SMART info. It will tell you if the drive is failing
[15:51] <jil> I think most of my problems have to do with bad blocks
[15:51] <dcherniv> jil, fd0 is your floppy disk contoller
[15:51] <Slart> linda666: try uninstalling virtualbox first
[15:51] <jil> compdoc ok
[15:51] <Slart> linda666: it might not like having two versions installed on top of each other
[15:51] <linda666> Slart, thats done
[15:51] <boriseto> Global_Radio, well yes, but for some reason it resets on ondemand after a minute after booting. I don't know why. Try and see if it works.
[15:51] <jil> dcherniv, yes I know I don't have a fd0 so I removed it from my fstab but still
[15:52] <jil> I mean I don't have a floppy disk
[15:52] <linda666> removed using the ubuntu software center itself
[15:52] <Slart> linda666: hmm.. you're sure?
[15:52] <JHOSMAN> Can anyone tell me where I can contact people to make changes in the mirrors
[15:52] <Slart> linda666: all the virtualbox packages?
[15:52] <Pici> JHOSMAN: What sort of change?
[15:52] <dcherniv> pinkpelican, linux kernel is written in C
[15:52] <jagosix> nope
[15:52] <Global_Radio> boriseto, it didn't work
[15:53] <jagosix> it's been disabled
[15:53] <linda666> let me check
[15:53] <Slart> linda666: what does   sudo dpkg -l | grep -i virtualbox    in a terminal print out
[15:53] <dcherniv> jil, pastebin the dmesg output when an app crashes
[15:53] <gsant> jagosix: It is possible to install Ubuntu on UEFI machine. The Ubuntu 12.10 secure remix has a key signed by Microsoft
[15:53] <jagosix> I've been trying to get it to boot for a few days now and I'm very frustrated
[15:54] <jagosix> ok where can i download it
[15:54] <gsant> jagosix: so even if u have secure-boot enabled if should be able to run the Ubuntu 12.10 secure Remix version
[15:54] <linda666> Slart, oops :D
[15:54] <gsant> jagosix:http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/
[15:54] <boriseto> Global_Radio, and what is your configuration?
[15:54] <linda666> Slart, dpkg gives me virtualbox installed. how should i remove it although i've removed it using software center?
[15:54] <linda666> Slart, is a reboot needed?
[15:55] <gsant> jagosix: and follow this instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[15:55] <drdozer> hi - I'm trying but failing to eject a dvd
[15:55] <drdozer> the drive is in an endless loop of spinning up and down

[15:55] <boriseto> Global_Radio, well hardware configuration (sorry) and which drivers have you installed.
[15:56] <gsant> but u have to enable the boot by dvd or usb. Otherwise u are not ganna be able to boot this image
[15:56] <drdozer> sudo eject /dev/dvd2 just hangs
[15:56] <jil> Is there something wrong with my smartctl -a log ? http://pastebin.com/H15vMZ82
[15:56] <Slart> linda666: it might be.. there are some kernel stuff involved in virtualbox... give it a try
[15:56] <Global_Radio> boriseto, how do i find that out?
[15:56] <linda666> Slart, ok. brb
[15:56] <Orpheon> I've got problems with an SD card in a SD-USB converter plugged into my computer. A new device (sdb) gets created as it should, but trying to mount, format or do anything with it results in an error about the device not being found. Having it plugged in at boot or just inserting it makes no difference.
[15:57] <Orpheon> Any help?
[15:57] <boriseto> Global_Radio, in terminal run this: lspci | grep 'VGA'                 and give me the results
[15:57] <drdozer> eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[15:57] <jil> I kind of a newby, I don't really what to do to correct check my disk
[15:58] <Guest71624> What program would be the best (free if possible) to take advantage of the capacities of a Blu-Ray burner?
[15:58] <Slart> Orpheon: have you looked at what gets printed to /var/log/syslog when you plug it in?
[15:58] <Global_Radio> boriseto, 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)

[15:58] <Orpheon> Slart, yes, nothing that looks like an error
[15:58] <linda666> Slart, its still theree...
[15:58] <Orpheon> Slart, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1509555/
[15:58] <linda666> Slart, any suggestions on removing?
[15:59] <Global_Radio> boriseto, i should note that i have the same problem, perhaps worse, on laptop i have as well. it also has a (non-embedded) nvidia driver
[15:59] <boriseto> Global_Radio, http://askubuntu.com/questions/85913/video-drivers-for-onboard-geforce-6150se
[15:59] <Slart> linda666: sudo apt-get remove virtualbox*   should do it
[15:59] <Slart> Orpheon: hmm.. that looks normal to me.. odd
[16:00] <Global_Radio> boriseto, i already have installed the proprietary drivers
[16:01] <theseus> having an issue with mounting a second hard drive in ubuntu
[16:01] <Orpheon> Slart, if you want the exact error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1513397/
[16:01] <boriseto> Global_Radio, the thing is that I have different configuration and can't help you much, but as I see that it is an older nVidia graphic card and a solution is proposed there, saying that the newest version of he drivers solved their problems. Sorry I couldn't help.
[16:01] <theseus> format of 2nd hhd is sfs, any help?

[16:01] <Ladillero> Hello guys, does anyone know how to reset a bios password ?
[16:02] <Slart> Orpheon: have you looked at what is on the card using.. for example the disk utility? perhaps it's not formatted or uses some kind of weird format?
[16:02] <nearst> *sigh* grub2 is crap
[16:03] <Slart> Ladillero: remove the bios backup battery... reinsert it after a while.. there might be some kind of reset-switch as well
[16:03] <Orpheon> Slart, yes. Disk Utility shows it as a device, but trying to format it or do anything results in a helper error(1), also about no device found. Gparted doesn't even list the device
[16:03] <Ladillero> Slart it's a brand new laptop, HP Envy M6
[16:03] <Ladillero> I did try removeing the bios back up battery
[16:03] <Ladillero> and nothing happened
[16:03] <nearst> Ladillero, try off battery and power and hold start for 10-15secs
[16:03] <theseus> having an issue with mounting a second hard drive in ubuntu

[16:04] <lukasz_m> Hello, I have a small problem with gnome-classic in Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS : after reboot I have bad spaces between icons in gnome panels.   http://postimage.org/image/wemn9bnvl/ - it looks like this - after reboot:( http://postimage.org/image/tnz2nj63l/ - it should look like that. What I have to do?
[16:04] <Slart> Orpheon: strange.. never had that problem myself.. let me just check if I can find something on google
[16:04] <nearst> yup. start button for your lappy
[16:05] <Ladillero> Slart I tried turning it on with no battery and it was still asking me for a password
[16:05] <Diegosnat> hi guys!!
[16:05] <Slart> Ladillero: did you remove the right battery? there might be more than one
[16:05] <lukasz_m> @Landillero  wait from 15 mins to about 4 hours after removing battery
[16:05] <Diegosnat> Can you tell me where I can find a stable repository for Samba4 for Ubuntu 12.04 ????
[16:05] <Global_Radio> boriseto, i appreciate the help nonetheless
[16:05] <Ladillero> lukasz_m Ok, I'll give it a try
[16:06] <Ladillero> Slart I did remove the visible battery
[16:06] <jhutchins_wk> Orpheon: That's a problem with the kernel drivers for the reader.  What the system sees is a new USB device which is the reader, but it does not see the actual card.
[16:06] <acovrig> I want to convert a 32bin install to a 64bit install, I have 32&64bit installs in a lvm, but can't get the 64bit to boot, it gives an exec error on initrd
[16:06] <Slart> Orpheon: is there a card in the drive? inserted the right way? working?
[16:06] <jhutchins_wk> Orpheon: Which kernel are you on?
[16:06] <Orpheon> Slart, yes, works on windows atleast.
[16:07] <Orpheon> jhutchins_wk, how do I find out?
[16:07] <Orpheon> also, fdisk -l doesn't show it
[16:07] <Orpheon> if that helps
[16:07] <nearst> sudo fdisk -l ?
[16:07] <Slart> Orpheon: then the suggestions from jhutchins_wk might be a good way to start... or I at least that's what most of the threads I found about similar errors suggested
