[00:00] <harushimo> oh okay
[00:00] <Woolio> I was having trouble connecting to mysql when i ran the command "mysql -u <user> -p" it gave the error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)", after googling some i thought maybe the server wasnt started so i ran "service mysql start" which returned "start: Job failed to start" just to make sure the server wasn't already running I ran "sudo service mysql stop" which gave
[00:00] <Woolio> Errors were encountered while processing:
[00:00] <Woolio>  mysql-server-5.5
[00:00] <Woolio>  mysql-server

[00:00] <FloodBot1> Woolio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <Woolio> This on a ubuntu 12.04 server, Ive been trying to get mysql working for awhile, My last hope was asking here and if noone has any ideas ill reinstall the entire server :P
[00:02] <ice9> what is the best dock for unity?
[00:03] <zykotick9> !best | ice9
[00:03] <kostkon> ice9, unity has its own dock, why do you need another one
[00:05] <ice9> kostkon, because it's auto hide way is not smooth
[00:05] <ice9> when showing it
[00:05] <Sia-> hi, i got HP 250 G1 with ubuntu 12.4 pre installed, but with each new upgrade to new version or any linux distro i'm getting blank screen. it's any way to edit or let the live cd booting?
[00:05] <ice9> kostkon, and i want a dock where i can click on the app icon to minimize the app
[00:05] <kostkon> ice9, right
[00:06] <ice9> what are the good docks out there?
[00:06] <Sia-> secure boot also disabled
[00:12] <Ziber> I have a bunch of wifi networks in the area, is there a way to see what frequency the other networks are on to configure my wifi network accordingly?
[00:14] <redGod|2> Ziber: LinSSID will do that
[00:14] <kostkon> Ziber, in terminal give: nm-tool
[00:15] <Ziber> Doesn't show the "channel" though.
[00:15] <kostkon> Ziber, it shows the frequency
[00:15] <Ziber> Okay, how do "channels" match up with frequencies?
[00:15] <kostkon> Ziber, channel numbers correpsond to specific frequencies
[00:16] <Ziber> Well, the frequency of all three networks in range (including mine) are ~2400 mhz
[00:17] <kostkon> Ziber, then select a different channel
[00:18] <Ziber> I just did. No change in nm-tool's output.
[00:19] <Ziber> I had it on "automatic" before, now on 6.
[00:20] <kostkon> Ziber, no idea, try another one, also try reconnecting to your router
[00:22] <Beldar> Sia-, Are you using proprietary graphic drivers? your reference to the live cd is not clear.
[00:23] <lysobit> Ever since installing Ubuntu, my laptop keeps randomly making this sound every minute or so (the one in the first second): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUt7BpsP8Ro
[00:23] <Sia-> Beldar every thing is from hp preinstalled with intel graphic
[00:23] <lysobit> As if it's just booting
[00:23] <bruce549> Ziber: you might try IWscanner or wifiradar
[00:24] <deadmund> lysobit: Is that an actual recording of your computer?  Are you kidding?
[00:24] <deadmund> It sounds _horrible_
[00:24] <Beldar> Sia-, This a dual graphic an optimus?
[00:24] <lysobit> No, just an example. Not my computer.
[00:24] <lysobit> The sound is similar.
[00:24] <lysobit> The same sound when it first boots
[00:25] <Ziber> Hrm.
[00:25] <deadmund> lysobit: That recording sounds like the fans are 1000 years old and the grinding sounds like a hard drive ruining its platters.
[00:25] <lysobit> I dunno, but it's really ticking me off
[00:25] <deadmund> lysobit: If you boot into the bios, does it still make that noise?  What does the bios say the fan speed is??
[00:26] <Sia-> Beldar with the ubuntu lts 12.0 works perfect, because is edited the grub from HP. but can't install or boot Live CD i'll get BlankScreen
[00:26] <Beldar> Sia-, You familiar with a nomodeset boot?
[00:26] <lysobit> deadmund: yes, that sound is made everytime the power button is pressed. I don't think the BIOS says anything about fan speed
[00:27] <Sia-> Beldar from the kernel section?
[00:27] <Jordan_U> Sia-: Can you post the contents of /proc/cmdline from the working installation?
[00:27] <lysobit> deadmund: maybe it could be do with power saving management/settings? I installed laptop-mode-tools
[00:27] <zykotick9> Sia-: i can't boot modern ubuntu or debian ISO/USB on 1 of my boxes, but using the same iso with unetbootin works.  just fyi, of my issue.
[00:27] <deadmund> lysobit: I think it's just a really old fan.  Maybe you can clean it with a can of compressed air?  If it's a desktop it'll be easier to clean.
[00:27] <lysobit> deadmund: it doesn't happen on Windows
[00:27] <deadmund> lysobit: Sometimes linux has trouble setting the correct fan speed.  I'm not sure what that package does.  Maybe check the fan speed with linux
[00:27] <lysobit> hmm
[00:28] <Sia-> Jordan_U o k let me login on the laptop her with my second nick.
[00:28] <hyprvx> I installed Ubuntu under Windows using the Wubi installer, but now Ubuntu doesn't appear under the BOOTMGR list of bootable operating systems.
[00:28] <lysobit> (interestingly, my fan has a mode where it self-cleans the dust from itself, but only compatible with Windows)
[00:28] <Woolio> Kinda going nuts with this, Any help would be greatly appreciated... http://paste.ubuntu.com/6620480/
[00:28] <hyprvx> How can I edit BootMGR to see the Ubuntu OS as well as Windows?
[00:28] <Beldar> hyprvx, What windows release?
[00:29] <hyprvx> 7, Beldar
[00:29] <Ziber> Wifi-radar doesn't close? :)
[00:29] <deadmund> lysobit: Here's a lengthy article from arch linux about fan control: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control   If you get confused about anything I can help translate from "arch" to "ubuntu" or to "lysobit" if it's necessary.
[00:29] <lysobit> deadmund: thanks
[00:30] <DeSian> ok Jordan_U i'm her Sia--
[00:30] <Beldar> hyprvx, In general we don't recommend wubi here, that is the windows boot menu, have you tried to install more than once?
[00:30] <hyprvx> No, should I?
[00:30] <deadmund> lysobit: sure
[00:30] <Jordan_U> hyprvx: Uninstall Wubi and install a normal dual boot.
[00:31] <Beldar> hyprvx, I'm not sure many here know the windows menu is all.
[00:31] <hyprvx> Jordan_U: I will try that and Beldar: If what JU said doesn't work I'll try ##windows instead
[00:33] <DeSian> Jordan_U: her the /proc/cmdline http://paste.ubuntu.com/6620501/
[00:35] <Vedrit> Can anyone help me with getting my mono/Apache2 server to get my ASP.net pages to load? The mono channel is unresponsive
[00:36] <ice9> how to check if hardware acceleration is enabled?
[00:36] <rzralphwinxpuser> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH3QZvBfZeY
[00:39] <Aikar> hi - im running 13.10 with nvidia 331.20. Ive been trying to get 3 monitor setup working, and i now have this Base Mosiac option.. I have some progress in that im able to login but everything is running super laggy at 1% speed. cursor included. i went to dinner came back and desktop did fully load... but mouse is dead lagged, switching to tty1 takes forever. but after i switched back to 7 the mouse was unlagged for a bit then it lagged again
[00:39] <Aikar> any ideas?
[00:42] <rzralphwinxpuser> .....
[00:42] <rzralphwinxpuser> 12.04 ?
[00:42] <rzralphwinxpuser> different drivers?
[00:44] <ice9> how to check if 3D hardware acceleration is enabled?
[00:45] <deadmund> ice9: output glxinfo (at the top).  It's called "direct rendering"
[00:46] <ice9> deadmund, direct rendering is yes, that's it?
[00:46] <deadmund> ice9:  I think so.
[00:47] <ice9> deadmund, and how can i know which driver it's using?
[00:47] <deadmund> ice9: You can check the driver using sudo lspci -k
[00:47] <deadmund> (note, rebooting required for switching video drivers)
[00:47] <deadmund> Here is this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150149/how-to-test-3d-acceleration  which tests if your hardware will / can run unity which isn't exactly 3D accel but it almost the same.
[00:51] <zipace> deadmund: you don't have to reboot when switching/unloading/loading video drivers, restarting the X11 server is already enough
[00:52] <deadmund> zipace: ahh, neat
[01:24] <ColdKeyboard> I have installed Lubuntu on very old laptop, first it didn't recognize wifi module, then I replaced it with another one, now it detects wireless module but I can't see any networks. rfkill list is empty (off). Can someone please help?
[01:26] <ColdKeyboard> When I do rfkill list I get phy0: wireless lan, soft blocked:no, hard blocked: yes
[01:28] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: The wifi switch is set to off
[01:28] <deadmund> iwlist scan   (to see networks)
[01:29] <kreuger> bekks, are ya still here?
[01:29] <ColdKeyboard> deadmund: I tried switching it to both positions and still nothing :\
[01:30] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: switch it to on, reboot, check the output of sudo rfkill list
[01:30] <ColdKeyboard> New wifi module is AR242x/AR542x, driver ath5k
[01:30] <ColdKeyboard> ok, I'll rebot it now
[01:31] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: model is irrelevant I think
[01:31] <ColdKeyboard> I'm newbie here so I don't know :)
[01:31] <deadmund> sure :)
[01:32] <deadmund> no worries :)
[01:32] <kreuger> Maybe someone else can help me
[01:32] <ColdKeyboard> It says that wireless is still hard blocked :\
[01:32] <ColdKeyboard> Funny thing is that the LED for wifi is not glowing in ether position :\
[01:32] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: mmmmm
[01:32] <ColdKeyboard> But the Lubuntu detects the wifi module
[01:33] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: switch it to the "on" position. Turn the machine off (not reboot, off actually).  Turn it on, if that doesn't work I have no idea.  Sounds physically broken in that case.
[01:34] <ColdKeyboard> It was off before I turned it on but I will try it again
[01:34] <ColdKeyboard> If this doesn't work I don't know what to do
[01:34] <ColdKeyboard> What does it even mean that it's hardware blocked?
[01:34] <glitsj16> ColdKeyboard: check your BIOS to see if you can unblock wifi or resetting it to factory settings
[01:35] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: do you mean the machine as off, or the switch was off.  (also, try doing the same thing, except assuming that the switch is labeled backwards and off is actually on)
[01:35] <deadmund> Worth a shot.
[01:35] <deadmund> good idea!  Check the bios
[01:35] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: hardware blocked usually means the switch is set to off.
[01:35] <ColdKeyboard> machine was off
[01:35] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: check the bios
[01:35] <ColdKeyboard> Ok, I will try checking the bios and reversing the switch, separately
[01:36] <deadmund> Does the card / switch work in windows?
[01:36] <ColdKeyboard> I don't know, I didn't try this card in win :\
[01:36] <ColdKeyboard> I added it after I installed lubuntu
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> Ok, now I have 0:phy0:Wireless LAN
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> And both Soft and hard blocked are :no
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> that's good right?
[01:37] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: there ya go, the switch was backward (weird)
[01:37] <deadmund> That's great!
[01:37] <ColdKeyboard> I didn't get to the switch thing, I just shut down the machine and turned it back on with switch in ON position
[01:37] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: oh
[01:38] <ColdKeyboard> But I still don't see any wirelesss network :\
[01:38] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: sometimes it needs to be that way, linux probably doesn't listen for the signal of the switch turning on or something.
[01:38] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: sudo iwlist scan   does what?
[01:38] <ColdKeyboard> wlan0 No scan results
[01:38] <ColdKeyboard> :\
[01:39] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: it didn't see any networks.  Are you sure there is one?
[01:39] <ColdKeyboard> Yes, I'm on one right now and there are 2-3 other networks, at least
[01:39] <deadmund> mmmmmm
[01:39] <deadmund> sudo lspci -k  says what?
[01:39] <ColdKeyboard> iwconfig says that TX-Power=20dBm
[01:40] <deadmund> The transmission power (of the card) is irrelevant
[01:40] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, It might worth having this link, try to add the actual release to the search. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=AR242x%2FAR542x+
[01:40] <ColdKeyboard> It says a lot... I guess I'm looking for Subsystem: AureWave AW-GE780 802.11bg Wireless Mini PCIe card
[01:40] <ColdKeyboard> ?
[01:41] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: wait... then what is AR242x/AR542x  ?
[01:42] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: yeah, we're concerned with the wifi section of sudo lspci -k  ( sorry, got confused by what you said) it should list a driver /  kernel modules
[01:42] <ColdKeyboard> Line above this one says: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x/AR542 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
[01:42] <deadmund> Ahh, the AR242 and the AureWave-AW-GE780 are the same card.
[01:43] <kreuger> Can anyone help me? :(
[01:45] <nictrasavios> \join #ubuntu
[01:45] <Beldar> kreuger, Not without a description to the channel.
[01:45] <nictrasavios> Oh, I'm already here. Nevermind that haha.
[01:46] <kreuger> Oh right, sorry. So my issue is that I can't login. I don't get any display manager. When I try to load the terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 I just get a black screen and blinking cursor. I have a video on youtube if anyone wants to see
[01:46] <kreuger> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15qY4ugYUp4 is the video
[01:46] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: well??
[01:48] <nictrasavios> I've had a problem recently where, whenever I drag a window to the top to maximize it, X locks up. No mouse, no keyboard. Even if I pkill from a terminal, nothing changes. The only thing I can do is kill X, and relogin.
[01:48] <Beldar> kreuger, what release is this and is that kubuntu?
[01:49] <ColdKeyboard> deadmund: Still no results :\
[01:49] <kreuger> Beldar,  It was originally Xubuntu (which is why that wallpaper still shows) but I switched to LXDE as well as LightDM. I believe it's 12.10. I haven't been able to use it for about a yr though.
[01:49] <Beldar> hard to see the possible de in the video here
[01:50] <deadmund> ColdKeyboard: mmmm the driver isn't working for that card.  Start searching online if there is any alternative.  Look up your card / current driver on linuxwireless.org and see what it says.
[01:50] <Beldar> kreuger, Have you tried a text boot or nomodeset? has there been a update since you tried to run it again?
[01:51] <kreuger> No I haven't. I couldn't even get the grub menu before today. How exactly do I do that?
[01:51] <Beldar> kreuger, If you have not used it for a year might you consider a fresh install?
[01:51] <kreuger> Beldar,  No. Too much data to lose and no way to recover it.
[01:52] <Beldar> kreuger, you can recover data with a live cd, just a suggestion is all for ease of travel.
[01:52] <nictrasavios> kreuger, Buy an external or even a big flash drive, save it, and then reinstall?
[01:52] <Beldar> !nomodeset | kreuger
[01:52] <kreuger> It's been down that long because I havent had the need to use it, not because I can't fix it. I've been lazy. But my laptop is running out of space and its a desktop with 2TB so
[01:54] <nictrasavios> kreuger, You have either way to many movies, or way to many textbooks.
[01:54] <ColdKeyboard> I tried sudo modprobe ath5k, sudo ip link set wlan0 up, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid any and didn't get any response :S
[01:55] <Beldar> kreuger, Like you would edit the kernel for nomodeset a text boot would be replace ”quiet splash” with "text" this is to see if their are errors or a stopage.
[01:55] <kreuger> Some of it is music too lol
[01:55] <kreuger> yeah Im trying nomodeset now
[01:56] <kreuger> ok so I stuck that in, hit F10 and Im back to the Xubuntu splash screen
[01:56] <Beldar> kreuger, A black screen on the tty makes me think it is stopping early.
[01:56] <kreuger> well I was trying to call up the terminal
[01:56] <Beldar> kreuger, f10 to do what?
[01:57] <kreuger> After I put in nomodeset it says press f10 to boot. Im wondering if it didnt save?
[01:57] <Beldar> kreuger, Ah right, I thought it was ctrl-x
[01:57] <nictrasavios> It saved if you typed it in, no worries there.
[01:57] <kreuger> I think that was to save
[01:58] <Beldar> kreuger, kernel changes there do not save on a reboot.
[01:58] <kreuger> Another user was attempting to help me earlier. He said to check xsession-errors which was mostly blank. But I found run.log in ~/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/
[01:58] <Beldar> that is a per-session
[01:58] <kreuger> Should I share that?
[01:59] <Beldar> kreuger, Wont help me, I'm not real up on logs.
[02:00] <kreuger> Ya, it didnt save the nomodeset. Let me try it again
[02:00] <Beldar> kreuger, I think the continue boot after changing the kernel is crtl-x try the nomodeset and the text boot.
[02:01] <kreuger> yeah Im gonna do that
[02:01] <kreuger> How do I ask the bot for info?
[02:01] <nictrasavios> !ubottu
[02:01] <kreuger> !ubottu $vt_handoff
[02:01] <nictrasavios> \msg ubotty nomodeset
[02:02] <zykotick9> nictrasavios: try "/msg ubottu nomodeset"
[02:02] <nictrasavios> !nomodeset | kreuger
[02:02] <nictrasavios> zykotick9, I did, I always get the slash mixed up.
[02:02] <kreuger> whoa I may have found something interest
[02:02] <s1r1nx> '
[02:02] <zykotick9> nictrasavios: it's ubottu not ubotty as well ;)
[02:03] <kreuger> so I noticed on the end of my grub line it says "$vt_handoff" which I've never seen before
[02:03] <nictrasavios> zykotick9, >.< I know, I got it working a while ago haha.
[02:03] <kreuger> Google brought me this: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-fix-ubuntu-boot-splash-screen-after-grub-updates
[02:04] <Beldar> kreuger, You can remove that code in that edit mode.
[02:04] <kreuger> The very first two paragraphs on there seems to be my issue
[02:06] <kreuger> No luck removing it :(
[02:06] <Beldar> kreuger, Your video never shows a login gui are you getting one?
[02:07] <kreuger> no I dont get one at all
[02:07] <kreuger> It just sits there with that icon spinning
[02:07] <Beldar> kreuger, Try that text boot I think it's stopping before that maybe.
[02:07] <kreuger> Is that the same way?
[02:07] <Beldar> freezing
[02:08] <kreuger> like edit the grub conf?
[02:08] <Beldar> kreuger, replace no splash with text
[02:08] <kreuger> ok
[02:08] <kreuger> will it be verbose?
[02:08] <Beldar> kreuger, You are from the grub menu hitting e for edit correct?
[02:08] <kreuger> yep
[02:09] <Beldar> kreuger, not sure the definition of verbose, it just removes the gui and you see just text
[02:09] <kreuger> although, mine shows just splash, not "no splash"
[02:09] <Beldar> remove and put text there
[02:10] <kreuger> ok
[02:11] <kreuger> Well I had a text login, now it's gone blank
[02:11] <Beldar> kreuger, I suspect the boot it freezing the text mode should show where.
[02:11] <linuxuz3r> zfs a good filesystem ot work on?
[02:11] <kreuger> All I saw was my username then it went blank
[02:13] <Beldar> kreuger, That is not normal it should be showing code as it boots. I have to wonder with the desktop additions there was an error made by you. Did you try and remove any desktops?
[02:13] <nictrasavios> linuxuz3r, It has some advantages. No real reason not to stick with ext4 though.
[02:13] <kreuger> Yeah that would be the verbose I was talking about
[02:14] <kreuger> I just saw some text, then login came up and went blank again
[02:14] <Beldar> kreuger, Ah so you saw the login gui?
[02:14] <kreuger> No. it was text login
[02:14] <linuxuz3r> is there support for rw for zfs on windows and mac
[02:15] <nictrasavios> kreuger, verbose: using or expressed in more words than are needed. Verbosity is not when text is displayed on your screen, it when *more*, like debugging messages and such is displayed. More than what is needed for normal operation. Booting is not verbose, because that text is always displayed and needed for normal operation, but many distrobutions hide it because regular users don't need it.
[02:15] <Beldar> kreuger, top left corner, like a tty?
[02:15] <linuxuz3r> nictrasavios, ok
[02:15] <kreuger> Beldar, yep
[02:15] <kreuger> nictrasavios, My bad, thanks for that
[02:16] <kreuger> Beldar, Would another video help?
[02:16] <Beldar> kreuger, Might be as simple as grub needs a relod or update from a chroot in a live cd, kinda hard to tell by me, it's been a year since you used it, I doubt you remember everything you have done.
[02:16] <DWSR> Anyone that can help me with a Hyper-V problem? I'm exposing 10 disks to a Ubuntu VM via the SCSI controller, but Ubuntu only sees 5 of them.
[02:17] <kreuger> Yeah. I just know that I had Xubuntu and switched to LXDE. I dont think I removed anything more than XFCE itself
[02:17] <Beldar> kreuger, Do you have a external to pull the stuff you need to using a love cd/usb? or enougfh HD space to just install alongside?
[02:17] <Beldar> live* hehe
[02:18] <kreuger> No I don't have an external I can use. I was thinking about installing beside it, but there's a lot of configuration i dont want to have to redo either you know?
[02:18] <Beldar> kreuger, If you had removed xfce correctly the boot splash would show lubuntu, hence my suspicions.
[02:19] <kreuger> well i thought maybe it was something to do with LightDM. However, it worked long after I switched the DE. It started acting up around the time I upgraded to 12.10
[02:19] <DWSR> Anyone that can help me with a Hyper-V problem? I'm exposing 10 disks to a Ubuntu VM via the SCSI controller, but Ubuntu only sees 5 of them.
[02:19] <Beldar> kreuger, Honestly configurations should be easy as pie for you, not a wall stopping you. ;)
[02:19] <nictrasavios> Why not remove the GUI entirely, remove all of the base packages, and then reinstall the base GUI from a text-only system?
[02:20] <kreuger> They are, its just time consuming. I basically just want it to work lol
[02:20] <Beldar> kreuger, Well not much I can do here sorry.
[02:20] <kreuger> nictrasavios, I can't even get tty to come up
[02:20] <kreuger> Beldar, thanks anyways, maybe someone else can help
[02:20] <nictrasavios> kreuger, Then you're going to have to back up, reinstall, and unbackup.  We can't really help that without spending hours, if not days.
[02:20] <ColdKeyboard> Can someone please help me with ath5k? My wireless card is detected but for now it's hardware blocked. I got to unblock it but even then I couldn't see any wireless networks. Any ideas what should I do?
[02:21] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Did you browse the askubuntu links I sent you?
[02:21] <kreuger> I never figured out what happened. Originally it seemed to be a video driver problem
[02:22] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: Yes I did, I tried several of the solutions but seems like none of them work for me... :\
[02:22] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Do you have ethernet?
[02:22] <ColdKeyboard> now, yes
[02:23] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Cool, if it were me I would get a plug and works usb.
[02:23] <ColdKeyboard> plug and works usb?
[02:23] <Beldar> in lieu of a maybe fix here
[02:23] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, usb wifi that plugs in and works
[02:23] <kreuger> I really just can't figure out why the eff tty won't work. It just keeps cycling back to the xubuntu loading icon
[02:24] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I already replaced old PCIe with this one
[02:24] <ColdKeyboard> old one wasn't even detected as Wireless adapter
[02:24] <kreuger> Im gonna try booting older kernels
[02:24] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, okay and?
[02:26] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I replaced it with this one, now it detects it as wireless adapter, I managed to remove hard blocked but I can't find wireless networks with it :\
[02:26] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, My point is, you may get it working, however in the mean time if you need wifi you can have it rather cheaply is all.
[02:26] <ColdKeyboard> I don't know what should I do. there is no options for wifi in bios
[02:26] <zykotick9> kreuger: did you install drivers from nvidia.com by chance?
[02:26] <nictrasavios> ColdKeyboard, Once you get it unlocked, remove the usb wireless. Dose it work then?
[02:26] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I connected via ethernet
[02:27] <ColdKeyboard> and no, it didn't see any networks
[02:27] <kreuger> zykotick9, I was using nvidia drivers at one point but I'm not sure where they came from. I was using nvidia-settings to set my prefs at one time. I recall that at one point the newest driver wouldn't work. my xorg.conf shows nouveau I believe
[02:27] <Beldar> yes I know, this is a internal card right?
[02:27] <Beldar> or a plugun
[02:27] <zykotick9> kreuger: well... best of luck.
[02:27] <Beldar> plugin*
[02:27] <kreuger> zykotick9, thanks
[02:28] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: Internal, PCIe
[02:28] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, I thought so just confirming for any other helpers
[02:29] <ColdKeyboard> Ok
[02:29] <ColdKeyboard> I'm thinking, will installing Ubuntu or Mint or some other distro help?
[02:30] <Beldar> ColdKeyboard, Mint's advantage are more drivers I believe, however not the support ubuntu has is all.
[02:30] <somsip> ColdKeyboard: given how you're asking in the official ubuntu support forum, you will only get ubuntu advice here
[02:30] <nictrasavios> Beldar, ColdKeyboard, Unless you're good at lying.
[02:30] <Beldar> nictrasavios, Not to hard to detect.
[02:31] <ColdKeyboard> Well I was asking if maybe instaling some other version/distro will help... No need to get hostile :)
[02:31] <Beldar> no hostility here that I see
[02:32] <kreuger> hey guys, what's the default video driver for nvidia? should I try vesa?
[02:32] <ColdKeyboard> Beldar: I know, just saying that I mean no harm or disrespect :)
[02:32] <nictrasavios> Beldar, Its worked for me in the past. I've had mint problems (back when I used mint, I went back to stock due to well... pride and dislike of green) and asked here, and solved them.
[02:33] <Beldar> kreuger, If this was a graphic driver problem the nomodeset boot should get you in generally.
[02:33] <kreuger> fair enough
[02:33] <Beldar> nictrasavios, There are helpers who don't check releases yes.
[02:34] <nictrasavios> Beldar, :D. I'm one of them, although I don't think I'm that good of a helper. I get distracted way to easy... Anyway, OT.
[02:35] <kreuger> My only other option I guess is to check the xorg logs
[02:37] <Beldar> kreuger, It may be you need to remove the xorg.conf we see often that it gets people in trouble similarly as your situation is, and live cd would get you there.
[02:38] <kreuger> Beldar, you mean just delete it and reboot?
[02:38] <Beldar> kreuger, yes, and or try the nomodeset again then.
[02:39] <kreuger> alright I'll give it a shot.
[02:39] <wessssssss> hi, room.  I have a dual boot with ubuntu and windows 7 booting from gnu grub.  I just did a reinstall of windows 7 from a recovery partition and now cant boot into it because grub still thinks that the old install is there.  How do i fix this?
[02:40] <nictrasavios> !grub | wessssssss
[02:40] <Beldar> wessssssss, what old install, haow did you reload the grub boot?
[02:41] <Beldar> wessssssss, Have you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu?
[02:41] <wessssssss> the grub boot was still there after i reinstalled windows
[02:41] <cfhowlett> after a win7 reinstall, I'm surprised grub even appears
[02:41] <wessssssss> no, didnt know about that.  could that be my solution?
[02:41] <cfhowlett> wessssssss, restore/reinstall grub per the factoid should fix
[02:41] <Beldar> wessssssss, most likely
[02:41] <wessssssss> so just sudo update-grub?
[02:42] <Beldar> wessssssss, yes on the dektop in the terminal
[02:42] <Beldar> desktop*
[02:42] <Beldar> viva the os-prober
[02:42] <wessssssss> thank you thank you thank you
[02:42] <linuxuz3r> i need another filesystem other than fat32 that has rw in win osx linux and bsd
[02:42] <cfhowlett> VIVA!
[02:42] <linuxuz3r> what is a good one
[02:45] <linuxuz3r> anyone
[02:45] <cfhowlett> !patience|linuxuz3r,
[02:46] <kreuger> Ok thats strange. My livecd just booted up in text mode
[02:48] <Beldar> kreuger, You can run a nomodeset on the live cd with a f6 at the first, install or check memory gui
[02:49] <kreuger> yeah but I didnt change anything. it just booted that way
[02:49] <Beldar> kreuger, I'm wondering if there is a hardware problem, just a guess though.
[02:50] <Beldar> kreuger, Try a nomodeset from that gui
[02:51] <kreuger> I rebooted and the livecd came up normal now
[02:52] <Beldar> kreuger, Is this a dualboot, if so with what and it's release?
[02:53] <kreuger> Nope
[02:54] <Beldar> kreuger, Did you ever customize the grub menu, just curios is all.
[02:54] <Beldar> curious*
[02:55] <kreuger> I dont remember lol
[02:55] <kreuger> I had a backup of xorg.conf from a dist-upgrade. trying that out
[02:56] <cem_> hi all
[02:57] <cem_> i wanna use my printer on xfce
[02:57] <cem_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6621017/
[02:58] <nictrasavios> I guess I should bring up the issue I came here for now. Haha, as I said before, sometimes when I move a window to the top of the screen, and maximize it, X will freeze up. The only thing that works is switching to a term and doing `sudo pkill X`
[02:58] <Beldar> kreuger, for what its worth xorg.conf is not there on install.
[02:58] <kreuger> cem_ Are you sure cups is running?
[02:58] <kreuger> Beldar,  ya it didnt work, Im gonna delete it and start fresh
[02:59] <cem_> im new at linux, how can i?
[02:59] <moses> I have grubby installed and what it does is it auto boots to ubuntu, but I actually want it to autoboot to windows
[02:59] <moses> how can i change  this?
[02:59] <kreuger> cem_ open a terminal
[02:59] <nictrasavios> !cups | cem_
[03:00] <Rastart> http://www-01.ibm.com/software/network/dce/library/publications/dceintro/html/DCEINT04.HTM
[03:00] <Beldar> moses, http://askubuntu.com/questions/52963/how-do-i-set-windows-to-boot-as-the-default-in-the-boot-loader
[03:00] <cem_> t says command not found
[03:01] <cem_> !cups | "name of my account"
[03:01] <cem_> ah i see
[03:01] <moses> tyvm
[03:02] <nictrasavios> cem_, if you install cups with the Ubuntu Software Center, printing should work right away. If it dosen't, we can help you set it up.
[03:02] <cem_> ok i will
[03:02] <kreuger> you got ahead of me
[03:02] <cem_> thanx a lot
[03:02] <kreuger> Ah well
[03:02] <nictrasavios> kreuger, Sorry :P. Good thing helping people isn't a contest :P.
[03:02] <kreuger> Beldar, no luck deleting xorg.cong
[03:03] <kreuger> nictrasavios, not a big deal. just trying to give back to others lol
[03:03] <Beldar> kreuger, you try a nomodeset again?
[03:04] <kreuger> No Im giving up for tonight lol
[03:04] <Beldar> cool good luck when you try again. ;)
[03:12] <alexkrupp> I just installed the recommended GTK update, and now Ubuntu can't find my graphics card, mouse, or keyboard... any suggestions?
[03:14] <Beldar> alexkrupp, what release is this?
[03:14] <jackshaft> Does your kb & mouse still show up when you run lsusb?
[03:15] <alexkrupp> @Beldar I'm pretty sure it's the newest stable x64 Desktop version... although I can't actually check, since I can't really do anything with the OS.... I can't even click OK when it asks me if I want to run in limited graphics mode.
[03:16] <alexkrupp> @jackshaft As far as I know I can't run that, since it can't find my keyboard
[03:17] <Beldar> alexkrupp, You can tab complete nicks, I'm just tying to figure out what "recommended GTK update" is.
[03:17] <jackshaft> And the only update you did was the GTH
[03:17] <jackshaft> GTK*
[03:18] <alexkrupp> Beldar: Yes that was the only update... It just popped up as being recommended when I booted into the system today, so I installed it.
[03:19] <Beldar> alexkrupp, So your sure this is at the least a 12.04 and beyond install?
[03:20] <alexkrupp> Beldar: Pretty sure... My sysadmin tried a bunch of different versions trying to get one to work with my hardware, but I'm pretty sure we settled with one of the newer versions
[03:21] <Beldar> alexkrupp, I would confirm the install from a live cd, maybe try an earlier kernel to see if you get any of the lost stuff back, not sure otherwise.
[03:23] <mgodzilla> heart.cashew
[03:24] <alexkrupp> Beldar: Ok, thanks. I'll try to make a live CD now. Would a 1GB USB stick work for 12.04?
[03:24] <Beldar> alexkrupp, Yeah
[03:42] <witeshark> can i get a little advise on Skype?
[03:43] <Beldar> witeshark, share the p;problem with the channel than we well all know.
[03:45] <munz> . /usr/bin/byobu-reconnect-sockets
[03:45] <munz> lol, my bad
[03:46] <witeshark> Beldar, i don't seem to see installation steps that work
[03:47] <Beldar> witeshark, Have you tried sudo apt-get install skype
[03:47] <witeshark> the second set on this page didn't work
[03:47] <witeshark> i will try that
[03:47] <Beldar> witeshark, It's in the ubuntu repos
[03:48] <witeshark> Beldar, package not found
[03:50] <Beldar> witeshark, This is ubuntu I assume it's in the partners repos I believe check that it is open on sources.list
[03:51] <Beldar> witeshark, run cat /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin the list if you would like this checked.
[03:54] <witeshark> that results in : http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/
[03:56] <Beldar> witeshark, make sure it is open in the sources.list if not remove the # and update then try the install.
[03:57] <witeshark> Beldar, okay TY
[03:57] <witeshark> brb
[04:00] <Rastart> got a noob problem with the shell. you know when lines are too long..? well how to vertical-scroll only?  How do I get Unity to do a split screen 3d image with an already 3d picture as the background?
[04:03] <KI7MT> That works in Gnome-Term, not sure about Guake and others.
[04:04] <Rastart> got gnome-term
[04:05] <godzi> When I I use 'cat /etc/resolve.cong' it says it cannot find such file.  Can some one tell me why says this?
[04:05] <Rastart> i would like to know how to set vertical scroll only as default.
[04:05] <lickalott> it is Rastart
[04:06] <Rastart> what if it doesn't work?
[04:07] <lickalott> so when you scroll with the mouse it does it horizontally?
[04:07] <Rastart> well when i press shift+PageUP it changes nothing :P
[04:08] <Rastart> still have to move right-left for every single line :D
[04:08] <lickalott> what happens when you scroll with your mouse or use the sidebar scoll?
[04:08] <KI7MT> Works on all my terms .. suppose you could go check your key-bindings.
[04:09] <lickalott> maybe selected the wrong keyboard during setup?
[04:10] <Beldar> godzi, http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
[04:10] <Rastart> well i suppose my usb keyboard isn't so evil
[04:10] <Beldar> things have changed
[04:10] <godzi> Beldar thank you I'll check it out
[04:11] <Rastart> i just can't see line after line without going left and right  all the time
[04:11] <Rastart> and it's a bit frustrating
[04:12] <kostkon> Rastart, what kind of output is that
[04:12] <lickalott> you mean it doesn't auto wrap within the terminal?
[04:12] <Rastart> what do you mean?
[04:13] <kostkon> Rastart, where is it coming from. that output that has too long lines to fit in your terminal line size
[04:13] <lickalott> http://askubuntu.com/questions/54995/dynamic-line-wrapping-in-the-gnome-terminal
[04:14] <Rastart> well any output in gnome-terminal
[04:15] <Rastart> and keyboard just comes from a common tech-shop
[04:15] <Rastart> lol
[04:20] <Rastart> well i got no screen function
[04:20] <Rastart> and i still can't have a correct view
[04:21] <kostkon> Rastart, no screen function?
[04:21] <Rastart> well can't i solve it without installing it?
[04:23] <Rastart> well kostkon is about lickalott line wrapping tip
[04:24] <kostkon> Rastart, yes got it
[04:26] <Rastart> i just don't need it to autoresize anytime i only wonder why only-vertical-scrolling doesn't work for me..
[04:27] <witeshark> Beldar, paste bin to come
[04:27] <Rastart> you know sometimes you need to scroll horizonal too..sometimes you don't.
[04:28] <JoshDreamland> Hi; is GNOME 3 officially supported?
[04:28] <JoshDreamland> The Flashback panel is failing pretty hard
[04:28] <Rastart> cant solve that issue without  screen command? that is my question :P
[04:29] <witeshark> Beldar, http://pastebin.com/EDanp8fD
[04:30] <Rastart> is there some other way to keep my eyes safe?
[04:34] <Abhijit> how to apt-cache search to know if the given program is installed or not. only cli.
[04:34] <zykotick9> Abhijit: "apt-cache policy foo"
[04:34] <Beldar> witeshark, remove the #  # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner run a update and try the install
[04:34] <Abhijit> zykotick9, thanks.
[04:35] <witeshark> Beldar, i see thanks!
[04:35] <Beldar> no prob
[04:39] <linu> hi all when i try to load g_serial module in my at91sam9x5ek board and connect usb to my ubuntu pc but it shows me initializing modem message and minicom is freezed,eventhough i double checked the permission also but it shows the same issues can you please help me
[04:40] <Rastart> i feel a bit confused..
[04:40] <Rastart> lol
[04:40] <Eromej> 'llo
[04:41] <solarradiation> I want to install from source package X. the ubuntu repo has and older version. I want to use the repo to grab all the -dev development packages and every needed to do a source build. how do i do this?
[04:41] <Eromej> I wanted to ask... is it normal to see no improvement in performances after installing an ATI GPU and open source drivers ?
[04:42] <ClientAlive> I added a 3rd party ppa for a package I need but when I do a sudo apt-get install < package > I'm not sure from the output if it the one fromt the ubuntu repo or the 3rd party repo that will be installed. How can I be sure I get the one from the 3rd party repo?
[04:42] <SonikkuAmerica> solarradiation: Depends on what it's written in. If it's C, you need GCC. If it's C++ you need G++. If it's Python, you need Python. etc., etc.
[04:42] <solarradiation> ClientAlive: run "dpkg -l packagename" and look at the package versin
[04:43] <solarradiation> SonikkuAmerica: yeah, I know. and all that dependency information is in the apt-get repo. how do I get all the necessary package needed for a source build?
[04:43] <kostkon> ClientAlive, apt-cache policy package_name
[04:44] <solarradiation> SonikkuAmerica: for example, flex may be needed for a source build but not for a binary installation
[04:45] <SonikkuAmerica> solarradiation: Why not first check for a PPA or for a .deb package containing the latest version?
[04:45] <KI7MT> solarradiation, start off by installing build-essential .. then look into build-dep before compiling your package.
[04:45] <solarradiation> SonikkuAmerica: there is none
[04:45] <SonikkuAmerica> solarradiation: Hm. What software is this?
[04:45] <ClientAlive> solarradiation: kostkon: Thanks. I think I just accidentally verified that it is the one fromt the 3rd party ppa ( via software center and it show the latest version - which ubuntu's repo does not have ). Thanks.
[04:45] <solarradiation> KI7MT: weird bioinformatics software
[04:45] <Abhijit> Eromej, the first difference "should" be in laptop fan uses. its sound. and the comparatively cool air.
[04:45] <solarradiation> errr... SonikkuAmerica
[04:47] <KI7MT> solarradiation, well, who ever wrote it, knows the dependencies, and they should have some sort of install documentation.
[04:47] <Abhijit> Eromej, once all drivers are installed properly, the load is divided between cpu and gpu. so fan uses drops. and less heat. depends on number of and type of applications you use though.
[04:47] <Beldar> ClientAlive, The idea of using a ppa is a later version availability, check that when you load one
[04:47] <Eromej> Thank you for your answer. I am using a desktop, GPU temperature never goes beyond 35 degrees. Before that, I was using my desktop without GPU, and had exactly the same performances
[04:48] <Abhijit> Eromej, time to use some benchmarking tools.
[04:48] <Eromej> I did, actually, and got way below average issues, unfortunately :(
[04:48] <Eromej> way below average results$
[04:49] <Eromej> It generally seems just like the GPU isn't computing anything
[04:50] <ClientAlive> Beldar: Thanks, just wasn't sure if I needed to specify the install candidate in some special way or just the normal way. Apparenly the normal way pulls in the latest version automatically though.
[04:50] <Abhijit> Eromej, I am no expert on gpu, but I suspect the drivers are not configured properly. you may want to read the drivers documentation on how to check if they are installed and configured properly.
[04:50] <Beldar> ClientAlive, yep, you got it.
[04:52] <jojo_> I'm using ice as a site specific browser to launch web applications.  Does anyone here know if there is a way to get cairo-dock to recognize ice webapp launchers as a legit application launcher so that these ice launchers can be added to the dock?
[04:53] <Eromej> Thank you anyway Abhijit. Unfortunately I already tried many things before from the official guide and internet resources, but I never had any results. Just one question, why can't I post on the #radeon channel, is it blocked ? I'm not too familiar with IRC
[04:53] <Abhijit> Eromej, ask with details on askubuntu.com
[04:53] <Eromej> No one answered :(

[05:04] <Beldar> witeshark, You just add that to the sources.list you will need a key it will probably tell you what is missing on a update and you can add it with. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here"

[05:07] <shreezbot_> Not really asking for a poll, just want to know what works well with Ubuntu since I'm new to the platform...

[05:12] <nictrasavios> #ubuntu-bots is a very fun channel.... haha.
[05:12] <Beldar> witeshark, Hit the save in the panel, it will ask you if you want to save if you just close ot anyway.
[05:12] <Guest76023> how to install dual boot with windows?
[05:12] <Beldar> Guest76023, This W8?
[05:12] <witeshark> Beldar, ok - and just deb NOT deb-src?
[05:12] <nictrasavios> Iriez, Sorry, but I'm not qualified to diagnose you. Or myself for that matter.
[05:13] <witeshark> also?
[05:13]  * nictrasavios ...searches for my mind...
[05:13] <Beldar> witeshark, On the partners, the src adds the binary if needed.
[05:13] <witeshark> ok
[05:14] <Beldar> Iriez, take two aspirin and call your doctor in the morning, or actually detail you problem to the channel.
[05:14] <Guest76023> help me installing dual boot
[05:14] <Beldar> Guest76023, Notice how people do address you I asked you a question.
[05:15] <Beldar> !dualboot | Guest76023
[05:16] <witeshark> Beldar, and after this, apt-get skype may find it?
[05:16] <Beldar> witeshark, run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install skyoe
[05:17] <Beldar> sudo apt-get install skype
[05:18] <Eromej> Abhijit, I have posted a comment
[05:18] <Abhijit> :-)
[05:19] <witeshark> Beldar, wow that was fun; it seems to have worked TY x million
[05:19] <witeshark> :)
[05:19] <Abhijit> Eromej, add that description to the actual question.
[05:19] <Eromej> I did
[05:20] <Beldar> witeshark, No problem, so if you add anymore repos just run a update to sync the repos before installing
[05:20] <witeshark> Beldar, right - makes sense TY again!
[05:22] <witeshark> Beldar, total success, up, running and logged in thanks mate!! :D
[05:22] <Beldar> ;)
[05:27] <Abhijit> Eromej, does dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'give you any errors?
[05:29] <Eromej> Abhijit, It doesn't
[05:29] <Eromej> Do you want me to post the result on Askubuntu ?
[05:29] <Abhijit> no
[05:30] <Eromej> Okay, anyway seems all normal
[05:30] <Abhijit> Eromej, have you uninstalled previous graphics drivers before installing drivers for this card?
[05:30] <Eromej> No, this is a fresh install
[05:31] <Abhijit> ok
[05:32] <Abhijit> Eromej, i offered the bounty. expect some attention.
[05:33] <Eromej> Thank you very much
[05:41] <pa5tabear> Hi all, I've just installed Ubuntu within VirtualBox and I'm looking for help installing Node and Meteor
[05:42] <pa5tabear> Is it normal for the "make" of Node to take more than 20 minutes?
[05:44] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, yes. depends on RAM and cpu.
[05:44] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, dont know specific about Node, but "make" takes a time.
[05:44] <WhiteFoxx> hi all
[05:45] <pa5tabear> @Abhijit: it seemed to finish, but it says I got Error 2 and Error 69.... do you think I need to figure out what these are? Or reinstall somehow?
[05:47] <user141423> You probably need to look for a more specific error message, it should say what line/file it failed on.
[05:49] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, it should tell you what are the errors. scroll up.
[05:50] <pa5tabear> @Abhijit: it does say flock: g++: no such file or directory
[05:52] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, do you have g++ installed?
[05:52] <user141423> Try sudo apt-get build-dep nodejs. That should install the stuff you need to build Node.
[05:52] <pa5tabear> @Abhijit: I don't have it installed. I don't know what it is. I'm looking it up now
[05:52] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, do what user141423 said
[05:52] <pa5tabear> @user141423: Thanks, I'll try that. is that everything?
[05:53] <user141423> It should be, but I've never used node so I couldn't say for sure.
[05:53] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, g++ is c++ compiler.
[05:54] <pa5tabear> @Abhijit: I'm running the command user141423 gave. And does this guide seem fine to follow: http://ariejan.net/2011/10/24/installing-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-debian/?
[05:55] <pa5tabear> http://ariejan.net/2011/10/24/installing-node-js-and-npm-on-ubuntu-debian/
[05:55] <pa5tabear> (no question mark at the end)
[05:55] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, never used Node. Can not comment.
[05:56] <Abhijit> pa5tabear, check the reputation of the github repo he is talking about.
[05:57] <Scunizi> what's the command like "build-essential" that brings up a menu to install various servers like a web server
[05:58] <zykotick9> Scunizi: tasksel - though i'm not sure how that is similar to build-essential package?
[06:01] <Scunizi> zykotick9 that's it. I guess similar in an offhand way. one installs a bunch of packages in one wack.  the other gives a list of a bunch of packages.
[06:01] <Scunizi> You understood what I was asking for, and for that... thank you
[06:02] <zykotick9> :)
[06:07] <linux-killed-me> greetings #ubuntu
[06:08] <linux-killed-me> this is my first attempt to use kubuntu, and kubuntu stop loading just after i entered my logins info. no need to mention that im not linux expert. but I'm having another computer to perform live test. Any help is greatly appreciated :)
[06:10] <hkr> did you complete the kubuntu installation ?
[06:10] <hkr> linux-killed-me?
[06:10] <linux-killed-me> hkr: affirmatvie
[06:10] <linux-killed-me> first boot were okay
[06:11] <linux-killed-me> first reboot lead me to this unpleasant situation :/
[06:11] <hkr> so you could login the first time ?
[06:11] <linux-killed-me> yep
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> i tryed with wrong logins to see if it was a login problem. But in this case it tells me that my login is not correct
[06:12] <hkr> what is displayed when you login now ?
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> well log box disappear. And thats it.
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> computer isnt freezed
[06:12] <linux-killed-me> as i still can move my mouse
[06:13] <hkr> wait a sec.
[06:13] <linux-killed-me> but nothing load, and the background still "pixelised"
[06:13] <linux-killed-me> even 2 ! Thanks alot for your support :)
[06:13] <Beldar> !nomodeset | linux-killed-me try this boot
[06:14] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: thks im having a look !
[06:14] <hkr> can you access the terminal by Crtl + Alt + F1 ?
[06:14] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, You may be missing a graphic driver, were you on the web when you installed and did you tck the update on install.
[06:15] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: it works the first time
[06:15] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: so i guess everything needed is installed
[06:15] <linux-killed-me> hkr: im tryin right now hold on
[06:16] <hkr> which kubuntu version is it ?
[06:16] <linux-killed-me> hkr: last one
[06:17] <hkr> 13.10 ?
[06:17] <linux-killed-me> hkr: downloaded today on the official server. MD5 checked also
[06:17] <linux-killed-me> hkr:  yes !
[06:17] <linux-killed-me> hkr: i have the terminal right now
[06:17] <hkr> Can you connect to internet ?
[06:18] <linux-killed-me> ... well i never tryed threw the terminal
[06:19] <hkr> Then press Ctrl + Alt + F7
[06:19] <hkr> and try Alt + F2
[06:20] <linux-killed-me> hkr: back to graphic log box, Alt+F2 dont do anything
[06:21] <zamn_> Hello, can anyone help me with fan issues? I have an ASUS laptop and tried going through the fancontrol tutorial and pwmsensors and all that jazz but nothing seems to be working. 'sensors' doesnt seem to actually pick up my fans/cores but just lists generic things (not sure). Can anyone help me lower the volume of my fans as I'm not even doing intensive processing right now.
[06:21] <hkr> linux-killed-me, Get to a terminal, login and type "sudo apt-get install startkde"
[06:21] <hkr> Without the quotes
[06:22] <linux-killed-me> hkr: I just tryed to connect threw the console, then start startx manually
[06:23] <Zerberak> Hey
[06:23] <hkr> and ?
[06:23] <linux-killed-me> i had a error such as
[06:23] <linux-killed-me> xinit : connection to x server lost
[06:24] <hkr> Right... Are you sure installed the desktop version and not the netbook version ?
[06:24] <kostkon> hkr, netbook version?
[06:25] <hkr> what ?
[06:25] <linux-killed-me> hsince i never asked for the netbook version, yeah.  But it make the process to wait for X to start. If i connect within the console, and then launch startx, i have the same error. Maybe I'm abolutly wrong ?
[06:31] <hkr> linux-killed-me, try sudo startkde
[06:31] <Zerberak> anyone know the command in 13.10 for testing whether the dhcp server is operational?
[06:31] <xPucTu4> justadude: when you start sshd, it should generate the keys if they does not exist.
[06:32] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, Did you run a update the first time you booted, what did you do in this first boot?
[06:32] <xPucTu4> wait to check
[06:32] <santa_> yo
[06:32] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:33] <hkr> Try reinstalling, linux-killed-me.
[06:33] <justadude> ok, so if it just says timed out, does that mean keys already exist?
[06:33] <justadude> or correction invalid login grace time
[06:33] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: no update.. just tweaking the main parameters such as themes and fonts
[06:33] <hkr> .join #python
[06:33] <hkr> Sorry ._.
[06:33] <linux-killed-me> ok lets go for another reinstall :D
[06:33] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, Did you install any themes off the web?
[06:34] <xPucTu4> justadude, -generate is invalid argument for sshd
[06:34] <linux-killed-me> negative. Only from the builtin ode theme fetcher
[06:34] <linux-killed-me> kde*
[06:35] <Beldar> linux-killed-me, I would try the nomodeset boot, but your welcome to reinstall if you like.
[06:35] <justadude> would it be sshd -g?  i thought i saw that on the man page but i could be wrong
[06:35] <xPucTu4> just enter "sshd" without anything
[06:35] <justadude> oh damn that easy?
[06:36] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: wise advice
[06:36] <xPucTu4> when you enter "sshd -generate"
[06:36] <xPucTu4> sshd is started with "-g" switch
[06:36] <xPucTu4> and argument "enerate" for that switch
[06:37] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:37] <xPucTu4> it is used for other things, but you can accept defaults
[06:37] <justadude> LOL that makes sense
[06:38] <justadude> im pretty new linux so i get lost sometimes
[06:38] <xPucTu4> you can read more with "man sshd" command
[06:38] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:39] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:40] <justadude> thank you very much puc
[06:40] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: moment of truth
[06:40] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:41] <justadude> alright off to play around more in terminal
[06:41] <justadude> everyone have a nice night
[06:41] <santa_> got problems with hp pVILLION LAPTOP 6500 sound drivers
[06:41] <linux-killed-me> Beldar: and thats negativ
[06:41] <linux-killed-me> reinstalling
[06:42] <santa_> anyone hear of HP laptop sound issues?
[06:44] <santa_> anyone hear of HP laptop sound issues?

[07:00] <mehola> hi I've been having issue for a while now where after using my laptop for a number of hours, the internet stops working and asks me for password
[07:01] <mehola> has anybody experienced that before? the only way I'm able to fix is by hard restart
[07:01] <karthik_> Hi
[07:02] <karthik_> I am facing a problem of frequent wifi disconnections with my wireless lan card installed on my Desktop
[07:02] <mehola> karthik_, does it ask for password after the disconnect?
[07:02] <karthik_> The details of the wifi card are
[07:02] <karthik_> product: 	AR2417 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5007G 802.11bg] [168C:1D] vendor: 	Qualcomm Atheros [168C]
[07:03] <mjhszig> anyone had issues installing Inkscape?????
[07:03] <mehola> karthik_, I've been having such an issue for quite a while
[07:03] <karthik_> no its not asking for any password
[07:03] <mehola> oh okay
[07:04] <karthik_> if i disable the wifi and then enable it again from the notifications, wifi starts working for some time say 5mins or so
[07:05] <karthik_> if I reboot the computer, wifi will work fine for sometime again say 5 - 10 mins
[07:07] <karthik_> hi mehola, were you able to get it to work ?
[07:07] <mehola> karthik_, no, mine may be a different issue though.
[07:08] <mehola> karthik_, mine disconnects after a long time (hours) and won't reconnect until I restart
[07:09] <karthik_> hm, got it, going through the forms, i get one solution to replace network manager with wcid
[07:13] <Nimble> does anyone know why this might be in my apt history? I don't recall ever running it
[07:13] <Nimble> apt-get --no-upgrade -o Acquire::gpgv::Options::=--ignore-time-conflict -y install grub-efi
[07:13] <Nimble> for what it's worth, I have ubuntu 13.04 installed through the UEFI system, not legacy BIOS
[07:14] <Nimble> I'm assuming the -o flag instructs apt to ignore some sort of time conflict from gpg, maybe an out of date key?
[07:14] <Nimble> did I get owned?
[07:17] <DJGummikuh> Morning!
[07:18] <DJGummikuh> I am having a problem with a disk image and kpartx
[07:18] <DJGummikuh> I'm trying to mount the image of my tablet to modify something inside.
[07:19] <DJGummikuh> I already linked a loop device to the file, and using fdisk /dev/loop1 even shows me a partition table. However, kpartx says "device-mapper: resume ioctl on loop1p1 failed: Invalid argument"
[07:19] <DJGummikuh> and all the googling I did so far turned up nothing :-(
[07:20] <Nimble> what tablet?
[07:20] <Nimble> oh, image of your tablet
[07:20] <Nimble> nevermind
[07:20] <DJGummikuh> the image to flash my tablet
[07:20] <DJGummikuh> cyanogen 10.2
[07:21] <DJGummikuh> http://pastebin.com/8CbY14nC
[07:22] <DJGummikuh> here is what I have :)
[07:22] <Nimble> you're trying to mount an .img, right
[07:23] <DJGummikuh> well yeah, technically. actually the file ending is .sd but "file ZT283.sd" suggests that it actually is an image (look at my paste)
[07:23] <magsv> hi all. I need to use 'nomodeset' to launch 13.04 properly everytime, otherwise a blank screen. Any fixes? (Intel Core i3 graphics)
[07:25] <Nimble> I'm not as versed in file system matters as I'd like to be
[07:25] <DJGummikuh> me neither :) which is why I came here
[07:25] <Nimble> but I'm assuming it's formatted in FAT and not UDF from your paste
[07:25] <DJGummikuh> yes, it's fat
[07:25] <DJGummikuh> it's, after all, not a cd image :)
[07:27] <magsv> bump :(
[07:27] <DJGummikuh> what kind of sad bump was that?
[07:27] <magsv> need to boot my laptop. But everytime I have to add 'nomodeset' in grub
[07:28] <magsv> gone crazy reading irrelevant matter online. so. :(
[07:29] <DJGummikuh> he. your problem is not so far from mine :) I want to switch mount points in my tablet. But for that I need to be able to modify my boot image of the tablet
[07:29] <DJGummikuh> and my xubuntu seems uncapable of doing that... and the online help I found so far also is not very helpful
[07:29] <magsv> 'not so far' haha you're light years away from me buddy
[07:30] <DJGummikuh> well in regards to boot issues and not helpful documentation :)
[07:30] <magsv> why do you want to 'switch' mount points?
[07:30] <DJGummikuh> my tablet has "sdcard0" and "sdcard1"
[07:30] <DJGummikuh> it puts everything on "sdcard0" which is, in fact, not a SD Card but some more internal space
[07:31] <magsv> android?
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> however I have a 32 gig sd card in it and want it to use that as its main memory
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> magsv: yep
[07:31] <Nimble> I don't think you're gonna get away with that
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> I did
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> up until 10.1 cm had the vold.fstab where I could switch the mount points
[07:31] <magsv> rooted?
[07:31] <Nimble> well, that's surprising
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> of course
[07:31] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: note that I did NOT swap the "internal" storage
[07:31] <Nimble> oh
[07:31] <Nimble> ok
[07:32] <Nimble> have you tried just using mount?
[07:32] <DJGummikuh> the internal "sdcard" is formatted FAT just like the external one
[07:32] <Nimble> mount -t umsdos ZT283.sd ~/your/preferred/folder/here -o loop
[07:32] <magsv> I remember on this old 2.3 I had written a script to tell android to use an ext partition as my internal
[07:32] <magsv> you could try something like that.
[07:32] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: umsdos is unrecognized
[07:32] <magsv> *might mess up everything already installed - so beware*
[07:32] <Nimble> are you using these commands on your tablet?
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> magsv: well the problem is that 10.2 replaces all those files at boot time from some obscure ram disk I fail to find
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> this is why I want to access the boot image, to find the ramdisk there and replace the "faulty" scripts at the root
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: no
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> Nimble: on my xubuntu netbook
[07:33] <Nimble> anyway, there are three different filesystem drivers you can use to mount FAT
[07:33] <Nimble> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux
[07:33] <DJGummikuh> I tried vfat
[07:33] <Nimble> I don't know which one will work for you the best
[07:34] <Nimble> msdos?
[07:34] <DJGummikuh> uuhm... device-mapper: table: 252:0: loop1 too small for target: start=16065, len=7711200, dev_size=523
[07:34] <Nimble> lol
[07:34] <Nimble> welp, good luck
[07:34] <Nimble> you've hit the limit of my filesystem knowledge
[07:35] <DJGummikuh> haha lol :)
[07:35] <DJGummikuh> actually taht did not come from the mount command, seems that's the reason why kpart is failing..
[07:35] <Nimble> ah
[07:35] <DJGummikuh> the mount command saysmount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[07:35] <Nimble> maybe it's not really FAT?
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> no matter if I use msdos, vfat or whatever
[07:36] <Nimble> I know my nexus 4 uses a version of ext
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> well the problem is: it's not
[07:36] <Nimble> iirc
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> it's basically a hard disk
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> including a partition table
[07:36] <Nimble> ah, well
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> I can fdisk /dev/loop1 and get this:
[07:36] <DJGummikuh> /dev/loop1p1           16065     7727264     3855600    b  W95 FAT32
[07:37] <Nimble> ok, so it's a whole disk
[07:37] <Nimble> with a fat partition on it
[07:37] <magsv> Nimble: sidebar, how does one figure out the FS from a image? (sd in this case)
[07:37] <Nimble> I saw some things that said FAT in the paste DJGummikuh posted when he ran "file" on the file
[07:37] <magsv> oh ok.
[07:37] <DJGummikuh> magsv: losetup /dev/loop1 imagefile and then fdisk /dev/loop1
[07:38] <DJGummikuh> that gives you the patition table of that image, which has the line I just posed 3 lines up (W95 FAT32)
[07:38] <pio_> hello, i have a problem switching user to root user, after typing the password, it will say "Authentication failur". Does anyone knows why? thank you.
[07:38] <magsv> DJ ok.
[07:38] <Nimble> pio_, you used the wrong password
[07:38] <Nimble> oh wait
[07:38] <Nimble> lol
[07:38] <Nimble> there is no password set for root users on ubuntu
[07:39] <magsv> pio_: boot into single user and change root password :)
[07:39] <pio_> Nimble, I use Lubuntu
[07:39] <Nimble> it's for security purposes, if you want to run a command as the root user you can use sudo <command>
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> still ubuntu :)
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> magsv: there's a much simpler way
[07:39] <Nimble> I'm pretty sure it's the same across all derivative distros
[07:39] <pio_> i tried login in root without password, still AUthentication failure
[07:39] <vagos1268> hi
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> pio_: try sudo su
[07:39] <Nimble> no password will work
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> and then enter your USER password
[07:39] <pio_> ah
[07:39] <DJGummikuh> then you are root and can give root a password
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> THEn you can use su with your new root password
[07:40] <magsv> There is no root user no?
[07:40] <Nimble> there is
[07:40] <Nimble> the password just isn't set at default
[07:40] <Nimble> you can't login as root until you set it
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> magsv: well at least on each and every ubuntu I used so far it worked :)
[07:40] <vagos1268> i am loooking for driver of nvidia 210
[07:40] <pio_> yay! sudo su root worked!!! THANKS MEN!
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> welcome :)
[07:40] <magsv> ah.
[07:40] <DJGummikuh> adn again happens what happens EVERY time I come to freenode..
[07:40] <Nimble> ?
[07:41] <DJGummikuh> I come to ask for help and in the end end up helping others without having my question solved ;)
[07:41] <Nimble> yeah
[07:41] <Nimble> this happens every time I come here too
[07:41] <magsv> Everytime :)
[07:41] <pio_> whats your issues?
[07:41] <magsv> Does anybody know anything about why I need nomodeset for Intel graphics to log into lightdm?
[07:41] <Nimble> intel graphics?
[07:42] <Nimble> which one specifically
[07:42] <magsv> core i3
[07:42] <Nimble> nomodeset usually means you're having a problem with your graphics driver
[07:42] <magsv> I know! This is so weird.
[07:42] <Nimble> do you know the specific model name of your processor?
[07:43] <ki7mt> magsv: thats been an on & off issue for a long time. Somt releases I need nomodeset, and others I didn't.
[07:43] <MathersMarshall> Well it's time for my night to come to a close. Night all(:
[07:43] <Nimble> good night~
[07:43] <magsv> Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz
[07:43] <vagos1268> yes
[07:44] <magsv> ki7mt: so I have to live with this?
[07:44] <vagos1268> i have the 210
[07:44] <kevinsky> 08:44:30 -!- xPucTu4<EMAIL_ADDRESS>joins #ubuntu
[07:44] <alecb> is there a way to replace the "fixed" Xorg that's the default in stuff like xterm to something else? (eg, arial or consolas or some other xft font I have installed)
[07:45] <vagos1268> i can't have resolution of screene larger than 1024 x 768
[07:45] <magsv> Additional: X -reconfigure fails because of the no of screens more than detected error
[07:45] <magsv> vagos1268: manually edit xorg.conf?
[07:46] <vagos1268> lets see
[07:46] <helmut_> hi
[07:46] <ki7mt> magsv: until a kernal release comes out that resolves it, I would say yes, if you have to use it now to avoid the black-screen.
[07:46] <vagos1268> no
[07:46] <vagos1268> the command cad found
[07:47] <vagos1268> command can't found
[07:47] <Nimble> magsv, http://askubuntu.com/questions/257346/intel-mobile-4-series-drivers-with-nomodeset-parameter
[07:47] <Nimble> did this work for you?
[07:47] <vagos1268> lets see
[07:47] <imghost> magsv, paste the output ofgksudo gedit /etc/default/grub , graphics card
[07:47] <Nimble> intel's ark says your processor has an hd 4000
[07:48] <Nimble> but I don't know if that's the same as an intel mobile 4 series
[07:48] <Nimble> you should do what imghost says
[07:48] <Nimble> lol
[07:49] <imghost> Nimble, Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers
[07:49] <Nimble> well, I know that much
[07:49] <magsv> checking. rebooting. lunching. brb. thanks Nimble.
[07:50] <krypto> I am trying to create a bootable disc from ubuntu 12.04 server iso, after making changes used "genisoimage -o 6.iso -R  /root/iso" but When trying to boot from new iso its showing "Could not read from CDROM code 004" any idea how to solve this.
[07:50] <magsv> imghost: will be right back.
[07:50] <magsv> thanks.
[07:50] <vagos1268> ahhh
[07:50] <vagos1268> i am lost
[07:51] <vagos1268> you say to right at the commmand
[07:51] <salah> So I have this famous problem, where my computer freezes for 1 second each 30th second or so. This is a week old computer so it's probably not Firefox that is to heavy...
[07:51] <Diplomatico> Hello, I can't access certain folders, like "usr" using the cd command.It works with others, like "Desktop".
[07:51] <salah> And I have actually no idea where to begin searching for errors
[07:52] <alecb> bump -- is there a way to replace the "fixed" Xorg that's the default in stuff like xterm to something else? (eg, arial or consolas or some other xft font I have installed)
[07:52] <vagos1268> i am downloading a driver
[07:52] <ikonia> alecb: not without rebuilding the packages that depend on them
[07:52] <ROPA> what command do I use to start firefox with a 5 second delay?? I want it to start every time I boot, so I added it to the startup menu. But, it starts so quickly, that it can't find the server(s), so none of the pages load.
[07:53] <ikonia> alecb: or do you just mean the font rather than the actual software
[07:53] <alecb> ikonia: I mean having it so when stuff wants to display "fixed" it displays eg, arial
[07:54] <Nimble> magsv, are you on irc with the computer you are trying to fix?
[07:54] <ikonia> alecb: I guess it depends if that's hardcoded to a font name, or just hardcoded to "default" in which case changing the default in the font server seems possible
[07:54] <salah> ROPA: sleep X && COMMAND, change X with seconds and COMMAND with your command. For example sleep 3 && firefox
[07:55] <Someus> Hello there! I tried to install Xubuntu and installation was successful but when OS started it was stuck at blue Xubuntu loading screen.
[07:55] <ROPA> salah tried that, and nothing happens, it's as though I didn't have firefox in the startup menu at all.

[07:58] <nownot> when I try adduser it tells me it already exist but its not in listed in cat /etc/passwd ... what gives?
[07:58] <Someus> Hello there! I tried to install Xubuntu and installation was successful but when OS started it was stuck at blue Xubuntu loading screen.  What's the problem?
[08:01] <Beldar> nownot, you have a desktop?
[08:01] <nownot> Beldar: server instance

[08:03] <DJGummikuh> gnah why can't nobody help me? :(
[08:04] <Ben64> DJGummikuh: you haven't said anything here for like 23 minutes. asking a question  may help
[08:04] <Nimble> DJGummikuh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1000644
[08:04] <Nimble> Ben64, that's not really fair
[08:04] <Nimble> he asked his question when he joined, is he supposed to spam it over and over?
[08:05] <Nimble> try the stuff in the third post DJGummikuh
[08:05] <Ben64> so saying "gnah why can't nobody help me? :(" is productive?
[08:05] <Nimble> he seems to succeed in mounting a FAT partition
[08:05] <Ben64> can repeat the question usually 15 minutes or so, its already way past normal scrollbacks

[08:08] <Someus> aeon-ltd yes xubuntu
[08:08] <aeon-ltd> Someus: we spoke here a few days ago, you mentioned your ubuntu was feeling slow and your ram usage was high (90%)
[08:09] <Someus> yes
[08:09] <Someus> I rememeber
[08:09] <Someus> I deleted Ubuntu
[08:09] <aeon-ltd> what?
[08:09] <Someus> Now i am in Xubuntu Live CD
[08:09] <Ben64> so whats the problem? install it from the cd?
[08:09] <Someus> But install doest work

[08:10] <Ben64> ok so where are you trying to download to
[08:11] <Someus> I try to download to PC hard drive because usb has 300 mb free space
[08:11] <Ben64> and are you running from live cd or usb
[08:11] <Someus> 1.8GB live usb
[08:11] <Ben64> you can't write a new usb onto the usb you're running from :|
[08:11] <Someus> ah yes
[08:11] <Someus> haha
[08:12] <Someus> Im stucl
[08:12] <Someus> I don't know the problem. Xubuntu installs just fine. But it wont start
[08:13] <Ben64> try nomodeset maybe?
[08:13] <Someus> Stuck at startup loading screen and i would wait forever
[08:13] <Ben64> or ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console

[08:21] <DJGummikuh> is there a way to access a "u-boot legacy uImage" file's content?
[08:22] <R1ck> hi guys. suppose you have a VPS running somewhere and want to have a reinstall done, would you want to have to confirm this reinstall via e-mail or would you rather have it be click-click-yesimreallysure-click-done?
[08:23] <danato> hey I jst accidentally updated my 13.10 ubuntu to 14.04, but it kept my 3.12.6 kernel, I'm guessing there no clean and fast way to rollback, so what negative implications can I get?
[08:24] <somsip> danato: instability?
[08:24] <danato> somsip: what kind of instability?
[08:25] <somsip> danato: the kind that comes from using alpha software
[08:25] <danato> sorry
[08:25] <R1ck> danato: some packages may have been built against, and require, the later kernel header files
[08:25] <R1ck> danato: so they might break
[08:26] <danato> Rick: so should I reinstall Ubuntu or update to the latest kernel? which is also an alpha
[08:26] <R1ck> danato: well, do you want to run alpha?
[08:27] <danato> Rick: I dont know how instable is it at this point, I jst booted and was able to connect, but I ddnt test it much
[08:28] <R1ck> danato: oh, I'm confused how you "accidentally" update to 14.04 :) but I figure it should be quite stable at this point
[08:29] <Beldar> danato, #ubuntu+1 is the 14.04 channel
[08:29] <somsip> danato: R1ck there is 'stability' like things run without crashing, and compatibility where new things work fine. I'm finding it's stable, but there are incomplatibilities with packages that aren't fully integrated yet. You may be lucky, or maybe not. And yes, +1 is the place to be
[08:30] <Sebastien> danato, typos?
[08:32] <danato> Sebastien, R1ck: yup, it was a typo, I was gonna type do-release-upgrade -h and I typed -d instead, I was tired
[08:32] <danato> I canceled it, but today when I ran a dist-upgradrighte command I got this massive update, I suspected something wasnt
[08:33] <danato> *dist-upgrade *something wasnt right
[08:40] <odin_> does ubuntu not have a default iptables save/restore mechanism? i.e. it looks like I need to edit scripts to implement this feature myself
[08:41] <odin_> I would expect like RH I simple save a file or run something like "service iptables save" and something does it for me removing human error
[08:42] <R1ck> whats the command you can use to find out the memory in your system again? (not amount, but DDR, MHz, etc)
[08:42] <odin_> R1ck,  'free' ?
[08:43] <odin_> right the I edit /etc/rc.local and use: /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.rules  ## it is clumsy and weird I have to do this myself
[08:43] <R1ck> odin_: no, *not* amount :)
[08:43] <odin_> R1ck, find the memory in your system?  open the lid of the case ?
[08:43] <R1ck> odin_: afaik theres no default init script for iptables rules, but you can take the skeleton script and make it start/stop a firewall script of your choosing
[08:44] <R1ck> odin_: assume I'm a) very lazy or b) the machine is 500miles away
[08:44] <R1ck> ah I remembered. it was ipmidecode or something
[08:45] <slimjimflim> hi, i just installed ubuntu on a del n5110 and it periodically crashes with this weird checkery pattern on the screen.  anyone know anything about this?
[08:48] <R1ck> dmidecode was the command
[08:48] <slimjimflim> lspci tells me i have a:
[08:48] <slimjimflim> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[08:49] <slimjimflim> i'm guessing that's the issue
[08:49] <slimjimflim> ^^^^^dell
[08:49] <odin_> and I thought modern Intel driver were the best with linux
[08:50] <slimjimflim> odin_: apparently not in my case
[08:50] <odin_> just would be nice to catch up on hardware performance, but for non 3d they good
[08:50] <R1ck> slimjimflim: when it does that, hit ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and check logs to see what happened
[08:50] <slimjimflim> R1ck: i tried the ctrl-alt f*s and got nothing
[08:50] <slimjimflim> can't remember if i tried f1 tho
[08:51] <slimjimflim> i know ctrl-alt f7 is my normal xwindows
[08:51] <odin_> slimjimflim, maybe take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and older files of similar name
[08:51] <Someus> Hi i fixed my problem. I installed Xubuntu correctly by unchecking Propretiary drivers
[08:51] <slimjimflim> odin_: ok
[08:51] <R1ck> slimjimflim: it looks like a graphics issue, which should leave the rest of the system running, so ctrl-alt-f1 should work, if it doesnt you can try to ssh into your system from another host
[08:52] <slimjimflim> R1ck: k i'll try that
[08:52] <slimjimflim> checking logs now
[08:52] <Apollo> this is the troubleshooting and support ubuntu channel correct?
[08:52] <odin_> slimjimflim, enabled Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (or try it as well, it should make X11 restart, causing complete desktop logout etc..) it is useful to know if your system recovers to good video
[08:53] <slimjimflim> odin_: cool never knew about that
[08:53] <Ben64> odin_: i don't think that works anymore
[08:53] <slimjimflim> i'ma pastie my whole Xorg.0.log
[08:54] <Dudytz> hi all! If a user create a GPG key and store it in the Passwords and Keys, the root can read this key? Or only the user?
[08:54] <odin_> only because it is disabled key-sequence by default, not because feature is not implemented
[08:55] <lea_> bonjour
[08:55] <odin_> slimjimflim, well it should at least confirm the hardware it sees, the driver version, the hardware chipset kind, etc...
[08:55] <lea_> comment ta les vous
[08:55] <lea_> hello whate is you maime
[08:55] <slimjimflim> odin_: should i paste my whole log or just the last x lines?

[08:56] <odin_> slimjimflim, all of it, might as well, there should not be anything security sensitive in it (but you check it)

[08:56]  * Someus sings a christmas song for slimjimflim
[08:57] <Dudytz> If a user create a GPG key and store it in the Passwords and Keys, the root can read this key? Or only the user?

[09:02] <slimjimflim> Someus: not here.  i have a heater
[09:02] <DJones> slimjimflim: Someus: This is a support channel, if you want to wish people merry christmas you are welcome to have that conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic, but please keep this channel clear for support issues
[09:02] <Someus> People in the name of rules and laws forget about love and friendliness
[09:03] <slimjimflim> ok anyways, http://pastie.org/8570917
[09:03] <slimjimflim> my gfx card sucks
[09:03] <odin_> slimjimflim, (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so    (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"   compiled for 1.13.0, module version = 2.20.9
[09:03] <slimjimflim> odin_: o.O
[09:03] <slimjimflim> do i have the wrong driver?
[09:04] <odin_> no it is just probably too new!  here, I swap you for this older laptop I have here :)
[09:04] <Someus> I understand this is ubuntu support channel and i really like to get help here. But i wish you merry christmas.
[09:04] <slimjimflim> lol
[09:04] <Someus> Just relax more
[09:04] <slimjimflim> ikr
[09:04] <Someus> We need to relax
[09:04] <slimjimflim> happy festivus Someus
[09:05] <andyfied> merry belated solstice Someus
[09:05] <slimjimflim> lol
[09:06] <slimjimflim> odin_: so you say my gfx card is too new, how do you come to that conclusion?
[09:06] <odin_> slimjimflim, is it 1280x768 ?
[09:07] <odin_> just 1366x768 is a new size to me
[09:07] <Someus> To everyone there hopeless soul out there: You always can trust in Jesus.  Merry Christmas. If this somehow brake the rules so be it. Rules are to server me. I wont server a letter.
[09:08] <slimjimflim> odin_: it says 1360x768 (16:9) in the gui settings
[09:09] <odin_> slimjimflim, ok so lookup your CPU/GPU model and Xorg driver 2.20.9 for bugs/updates?
[09:09] <slimjimflim> odin_: link?
[09:09] <slimjimflim> just x.org?
[09:09] <odin_> you using quantal... well like on google!
[09:10] <slimjimflim> idk what quantal is
[09:10] <odin_> aka Ubuntu 12.10
[09:10] <Rory> !quantal
[09:10] <slimjimflim> oh
[09:11] <odin_> but this distro version is older than your hardware ?  I guess you are using 12.10 from the driver version  xserver-org-video-intel for 2.20.9
[09:11] <odin_> so can you try something newer ?  saucy ?
[09:11] <odin_> !saucy
[09:11] <slimjimflim> odin_: ya maybe.  lts is comfortable tho :p
[09:12] <odin_> !trusty
[09:12] <slimjimflim> bleeding edge is scary
[09:12] <odin_> this is next LTS I think, last LTS was 12.04  (not 12.10)
[09:12] <slimjimflim> oh hrm
[09:13] <slimjimflim> i guess i upgraded farther than i wanted to
[09:13] <odin_> this is no guaranteed to fix things but you can't expect brand new chipset to work on 18month old driver
[09:13] <slimjimflim> i didn't realize this was such an awesome new box
[09:13] <odin_> what is the CPU type ?  cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep model
[09:14] <slimjimflim> model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz
[09:14] <slimjimflim> x4

[09:28] <lotuspsychje> bestdnd: install vlc, its the best player out there
[09:28] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: what graphics card and driver do you use?
[09:29] <bestdnd> vlc works. I have nvidia card, and don't know about my driver
[09:32] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: GLX have something to do with OpenGL and that has to do with graphics on your GUI. when totem is complaining about missing support then maybe other software will soon moan too
[09:32] <Oz4fuWow> bestdnd: maybe you just need to install the nvidia-current package and reboot
[09:33] <bestdnd> I'll look it up. Thanks
[09:34] <Oz4fuWow> !opengl
[09:34] <Oz4fuWow> hmmm
[09:35] <Pramod> Hi I am using  ubuntu 12.04 Gnome3 is not working perfectly and extensions are also not good
[09:35] <Pramod> is there any alternative
[09:35] <Pramod> ?
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> Pramod: define 'not working' plz
[09:35] <Oz4fuWow> Pramod: depends where the problem is located.  can you describe the problem a bit more?
[09:36] <Pramod> yes it is very slow when I am  using my system. Moreover I saw only few extensions
[09:37] <Pramod> and notifications are also not working
[09:37] <Oz4fuWow> Pramod: what are your hardware specs?
[09:42] <SmallJoker> Hello, does someone know how I get rid of the "VESA" graphic driver?
[09:42] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: install your proper graphics driver?
[09:42] <Rory> SmallJoker: What graphics card do you have? (What's the output of the command: lspci | grep VGA) ?
[09:43] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: I have no Idea how to do that..
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: pastebin what Rory sugested plz
[09:43] <SmallJoker> I'll use pastebin, please wait
[09:43] <Rory> SmallJoker: Should be one line
[09:43] <SmallJoker> Ah not needed: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[09:44] <Rory> SmallJoker: Wow OK, what are you using? An old PC?
[09:44] <Rory> SmallJoker: Open the Software Sources program, go to the Additional Drivers tab
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> sis sounds old to me too
[09:44] <SmallJoker> Not really old...I can stil work on it
[09:44] <Rory> Yeah but you might be stuck with that VESA driver
[09:45] <SmallJoker> Well, I've got this package/folder: "xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1", I compiled it and ... tuck at this point
[09:45] <SmallJoker> *stuck
[09:45] <Rory> brb meeting
[09:46] <SmallJoker> Rory: The problem is, VESA provides me OpenGL 2.1 which isn't supported by my integrated graphics, therefore I get ultra-low FPS
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: here's a page on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Sis
[09:46] <Pramod> hi what do you mean hardware spec? I have 500GB harddisk 2GB RAM
[09:46] <Pramod>  I am using 12.04
[09:47] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: I've already read that page and xorg does not seem to change alot
[09:47] <lotuspsychje> !info xserver-xorg-video-sis
[09:47] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: you got this package?
[09:47] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: wait, let me check
[09:48] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: yes, I already got that one
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: not sure what else we can do on this then
[09:48] <PhilipM> Hi. What are holes in files (lseek) useful for?
[09:48] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: But then, why it keeps saying "VESA" at the system Information?
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: can you lshw -C video plz
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: see whats next to driver=
[09:51] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/iSBdeXw1
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: hmm no driver...did you check 'additional driver' section?
[09:52] <Pramod> patrick: what do you mean hardware spec? I have 500GB harddisk 2GB RAM
[09:52] <Pramod>  I am using 12.04
[09:52] <aisyah> hello
[09:52] <aisyah> hi all
[09:52] <aisyah> is ubuntu distro good for HTPC?
[09:53] <imghost> SmallJoker, what's up?
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> imghost: he's got a VESA on his sis card
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> imghost: trying to get his card working
[09:53] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: "additional_drivers" only shows me my wireless-card, no entry of a graphic driver
[09:54] <SmallJoker> imghost: Hey, some problems again :3
[09:54] <imghost> lotuspsychje, ok :),
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> aisyah  old post (2008-2009) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1093540
[09:54] <imghost> SmallJoker, summarise it in one line will try
[09:54] <aisyah> thanks MonkeyDust
[09:55] <Rory> SmallJoker: Can you install the package "xserver-xorg-video-sis" ?
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> aisyah  this is more recent http://askubuntu.com/questions/325179/setup-htpc-with-ubuntu-tv
[09:55] <SmallJoker> Rory: that's already installed
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: sis website also got linux drivers, not sure if this will help you..
[09:55] <Rory> SmallJoker: Then you're almost certainly stuck with VESA because that package provides the up-to-date SIS driver, you probably got an old legacy card
[09:55] <SmallJoker> imghost: What do you mean?
[09:56] <imghost> SmallJoker, paste the output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:56] <PhilipM> for nothing?
[09:56] <Rory> Please paste the full output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL in this channel
[09:56] <SmallJoker> lotuspsychje: Well, I've already serval drivers here, one seems to be okay: "xf86-video-sismedia-0.9.1" but I've no idea how to install it
[09:56] <imghost> Rory, hi boss :)
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> SmallJoker: try what Rory sugested
[09:58] <SmallJoker> Rory, well is that link addressed to me? What do I need to fill in there?
[09:59] <SmallJoker> Oh i see
[09:59] <imghost> SmallJoker, paste the output of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:59] <imghost> SmallJoker, or use this to check the error cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[10:01] <lotuspsychje> imghost: whats the EE for?
[10:01] <SmallJoker> sorry, I had something to do in RL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6622351/
[10:03] <imghost> lotuspsychje, i use it to check the errors
[10:03] <lotuspsychje> imghost: does that work for syslog errors too?
[10:03] <imghost> lotuspsychje, yes
[10:03] <lotuspsychje> imghost: cool lemme try that
[10:03] <imghost> lotuspsychje, sure
[10:04] <Rory> SmallJoker: Looks like you're using the sis driver not VESA. What issue were you actually having in the first place?
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> imghost: cat /var/log/syslog | grep EE shows nothing= no errors?
[10:04] <imghost> lotuspsychje, yes
[10:05] <SmallJoker> Rory, in the system informations, it shows me: "Graphics" "VESA: 6330" and I've got a too high OpenGL, one which isn't really supported by my graphics
[10:07] <caliel> hello - I was thinking about changing my distro to ubuntu - Do you know if the installation in UEFI is easy or not ?
[10:09] <MonkeyDust> !uefi | caliel start here

[10:14] <lotuspsychje> !info qt-doc
[10:14] <SmallJoker> Rory, well I see the change of the OpenGL with a game, on WinXP OpenGL 1.4 = 14 frames per second, on Ubuntu OpenGL 2.1 = 3 fps, this seems like I need to change something...
[10:15] <Romance> qt4-doc i mean
[10:15] <Romance> !info qt4-doc
[10:16] <lotuspsychje> Romance: after your upgrade, re-uninstall it if you dont need it

[10:42] <VitoCorleone> There is a directory, and in CLI...how can I find out the whole size of that directory?
[10:43] <Rory> VitoCorleone: du /path/to/directory
[10:43] <Rory> VitoCorleone: use "du -h" for a human-readable output (Mb, Gb etc)
[10:43] <VitoCorleone> du -h /directory
[10:43] <VitoCorleone> like that?
[10:49] <VitoCorleone> Is there a specific command to findout which directory is using the most space on a linux server?
[10:53] <KI7MT> VitoCorleone: try this .. change the ./* to where you want to search: du -hsx ./* | sort -rh | head -10
[11:09] <user> Is it possible to stop someone from changing my background? My family always changes it.
[11:10] <Manzin> guys, I mistakenly deleted /usr/local/cpanel, and now, when I try to start my httpd server, I get this error: "RewriteMap: file for map LeechProtect not found:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect" - it isn't starting up, please help.
[11:12] <gordonjcp> Manzin: try reinstalling cpanel?
[11:12] <Manzin> with yum?
[11:13] <Manzin> "yum install cpanel" says cpanel isn't available.
[11:13] <Stefilutz> hello
[11:13] <gordonjcp> Manzin: wouldn't be yum, no
[11:13] <gordonjcp> yum sounds like a Redhat thing
[11:13] <Stefilutz> Hello !
[11:13] <KI7MT> Manzin: what server version are you talking about?
[11:13] <Stefilutz> BYE !
[11:14] <Manzin> How can I remove these lines: "<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
[11:14] <Manzin> RewriteEngine on
[11:14] <Manzin> RewriteMap LeechProtect prg:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/leechprotect
" in httpd.conf from commandline? I am not very good with a CLI editor.
[11:15] <FloodBot1> Manzin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:15] <gordonjcp> Manzin: comment them out
[11:15] <Manzin> gordonjcp, what do you mean?
[11:15] <Manzin> I am in SSH.
[11:15] <Manzin> I am not a expert with nano or vim.
[11:15] <gordonjcp> you don't need to be an "expert"
[11:15] <gordonjcp> you just need to be functionally literate
[11:16] <Manzin> is there a specific command to remove those 4 lines from httpd.conf?
[11:16] <gordonjcp> no, because that would be pointlessly specific
[11:16] <gordonjcp> open the file with whatever editor you like, probably nano is going to be your best bet
[11:16] <gordonjcp> scroll down
[11:16] <gordonjcp> stick a "#" in front of those lines
[11:16] <gordonjcp> save and exit
[11:16] <gordonjcp> and then try restarting your sever
[11:16] <gordonjcp> *server
[11:17] <aaronmehar> Manzin, just add # to the start of every line from <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> to </IfModule> then /etc/init.d/httpd reload
[11:17] <aaronmehar> actually before the reload do "httpd -S" if the syntax is OK then reload

[11:29] <uBUXUBu> why does ubuntu report my graphics as vesa redwood (i have radeon 5570???)
[11:34] <MonkeyDust> uBUXUBu  maybe the card is too old or new, ubuntu does not recognize it, vesa redwood may be the closest it knows
[11:34] <uBUXUBu> so am i getting the use of this card??
[11:34] <uBUXUBu> does this mean my graphics card is not even used
[11:35] <Ben64> not used to its full effect
[11:35] <uBUXUBu> thats gonna pzzz me off
[11:35] <Ben64> vesa is a generic driver, works with pretty much everything
[11:35] <uBUXUBu> oh great
[11:39] <Beldar> Ben64, That info will drive their compulsive worry into full thrust. ;)
[11:39] <Ben64> well he left before i could give more info

[11:51] <icezwo> can anyone help me with my Hypertransport, i have allready set the ht=on flag in the kernel butlscpu says Thread(s) per core:    1
[11:51] <icezwo>
[11:51] <mikubuntu> my startup disk creator is misbehaving --- it won't allow me to change the file i want to burn to a usb -- trying to burn adriane-knoppix to usb for my blind friend
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> even after reboot
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> i tried the other driver it offered and same thing
[11:51] <uBUXUBu> but the green light in front of the driver is lit
[11:51] <mikubuntu> can i write to the usb via brasero or xfburn?
[11:52] <uBUXUBu> how do i avtivate this damn drivers and use my video card
[11:52] <mikubuntu> i've already made two cd's using brasero, but i don't see how to do a usb with it
[11:52] <icezwo> hi may you can help me with my problem ?
[11:54] <llutz> mikubuntu: you don't "burn" some iso to usb, you just write them. use dd/cat
[11:54] <iivvoo> hi
[11:55] <iivvoo> is it possible to install nagios3 on ubuntu 12.04 *without* apache, with nginx (and postgresql) in stead?
[11:55] <mikubuntu> llutz: do you mean i can just drag and drop the file into the usb icon/file location?
[11:56] <llutz> mikubuntu: no, use dd or cat
[11:56] <mikubuntu> llutz: ok, what are dd and cat
[11:56] <Rory> iivvoo: It is possible, there's a blog post by someone here http://johan.cc/2012/02/06/nagios-nginx/
[11:56] <llutz> iivvoo: nagios recommends "httpd" so there should be no problem to install it with nginx or lighttpd
[11:56] <iivvoo> llutz: no matter what I try, apt-get keeps installing apache
[11:57] <trijntje> mikubuntu: try unetbootin
[11:57] <llutz> iivvoo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-iso-to-usb-device
[11:57] <iivvoo> rory let me havea look at that, thanks
[11:57] <llutz> mikubuntu: : http://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-iso-to-usb-device
[11:57] <llutz> iivvoo: sry wrong nick. did you already install nginx?
[11:58] <trijntje> Hi all, I just upgraded to 13.10 and I want to get my wireless working again with ndiswrapper, but I get errors when I try to install it from the repository
[11:58] <trijntje> ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-3.8.0-30-generic is not supported
[11:58] <iivvoo> llutz, I did
[11:59] <llutz> iivvoo: from repos using apt? i wonder why it still wants apache then...
[11:59] <trijntje> what can I do to install ndiswrapper on 13.10?
[11:59] <iivvoo> The following extra packages will be installed:  apache2-mpm-prefork (etc..)
[12:00] <iivvoo> while "nginx is already the newest version."
[12:00] <mikubuntu> llutz: why does that page you gave me say to format to ntfs --- isnt the usb supposed to be formatted fat32?
[12:01] <KI7MT> iivvoo: there's several how-toos for Nginx + Nagios but most are showing that they compile nagios v.s. using apt to install it. Postgress shoudl be straight foreward.
[12:01] <trijntje> mikubuntu: using unetbootin is much simpler, you can install it from the software center
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> iivvoo  same here, i added --simulate and it says it installs apache
[12:02] <iivvoo> KI7MT, I'm not depending on LTS to build my own packages :)
[12:03] <iivvoo> the post on johan.cc on this topic is rather trivial, "install nginx and nagios3, do some config"
[12:03] <mikubuntu> trijntje: i just opened unetbootin, but it doesn't have adriane-knoppix in the drop down
[12:03] <iivvoo> if it were that easy...
[12:04] <trijntje> mikubuntu: no, you have to download the iso yourself, and then select it from disk in unetbootin
[12:04] <mikubuntu> trijntje: ok, i already have the .iso downloaded
[12:05] <uBUXUBu> after i install the proprietary drivers it always says not activated??
[12:05] <uBUXUBu> whats going on
[12:06] <llutz> iivvoo: "LANG=C apt-cache depends nagios3*|grep -e apache -e httpd"   can you pastebin the output pls
[12:06] <mikubuntu> trijntje: about the formatting, is the usb supposed to be fat32?
[12:07] <iivvoo> llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6622831/
[12:07] <trijntje> mikubuntu: i think so, yes
[12:07] <mikubuntu> trijntje: and unmounted?
[12:08] <trijntje> mikubuntu: if something is wrong ,unetbootin will give an error
[12:08] <trijntje> just make sure you select the correct device to install to
[12:08] <mikubuntu> trijntje: ok, i'll try
[12:08] <trijntje> who can help me get ndiswrapper to work on 13.10 32bit?

[12:11] <uBUXUBu> what is the terminal command to check and  see what graphics card ubuntu is using?
[12:11] <mattfury1> hey i have a huawei modem will i be able to netboot?

[12:13] <llutz> iivvoo: sorry no idea then why apt ignores that and still wants apache2
[12:13] <mattfury1> i have a 3gb connection limit
[12:13] <llutz> iivvoo: try installing nagios3 with --no-install-recommends, does it work then?

[12:17] <neyder_> uBUXUBu:  it is the only graphic card on your system
[12:17] <uBUXUBu> it offers me 2 drivers
[12:17] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: so ubuntu is using it
[12:17] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: no, that just shows you which graphics card is in the pc. Go to software and updates, tab 'additional drivers' to see if any additional drivers are available
[12:17] <uBUXUBu> i tried both cant see any difference

[12:19] <uBUXUBu> what in the heck does this mean
[12:20] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: so you are using drivers for your graphic
[12:20] <trijntje> $ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[12:20] <trijntje> FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
[12:20] <uBUXUBu> yes i am trying
[12:20] <uBUXUBu> but it says not in use
[12:21] <Ontani> hmmm same goes for a bunch of files, i've changed /etc/hostname after reboot it's back to original
[12:21] <neyder_> Ontani: uhm 'ls -l /etc/ssh'
[12:21] <uBUXUBu> even though i did install the proprietary drivers and its say activated not in use
[12:21] <neyder_> Ontani: paste contents of fstab
[12:21] <uBUXUBu> videos and my game play well?
[12:22] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: you shuld know that, i'm not on your desktop
[12:22] <imghost> uBUXUBu, whats the problem? i am on cell summarise it in one line, TriJntje, paste the output of lspci - c network
[12:22] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: depending on your video card, you might not even need additional drivers. I dont use them on my pc and gaming is fine
[12:22] <uBUXUBu> says unknown graphics in system
[12:22] <neyder_> trijntje: uBUXUBu has an ATI
[12:23] <imghost> TriJntje, use pastebinit
[12:23] <uBUXUBu> in drivers says i activated the proprietary driver but not in use thats my problem
[12:23] <uBUXUBu> brb
[12:23] <trijntje> MonkeyDust: lspci -c is invalid
[12:23] <neyder_> uBUXUBu: please reboot
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> ok
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> but have done it before but ok try again
[12:24] <imghost> uBUXUBu, first check whether your graphics cards supports switching or not check it from offiical site
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> no idea what u mean
[12:24] <uBUXUBu> switching?
[12:25] <uBUXUBu> i installed a 5570 and installed the proprietary drivers period
[12:25] <neyder_>  my USB3.0 flash drive doesn't work any more, do I have any hope? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6622857/
[12:26] <imghost> uBUXUBu, yes switching, by default kernel loads default modules but when you try to install proprietary drivers then first check its supported or not then you have to do proper switching by black listing one
[12:27] <imghost> otherwise different moules will conflicts with each other anf hence kernel will not able to load anyof them
[12:27] <Ontani> neyder_ : http://pastebin.com/kf9d2dxb
[12:27] <trijntje> imghost: lspci -c is an invalid command, but I know that I need ndiswrapper to get my broadcom chip to work. But in 13.10 ndiswrapper doesnt work
[12:27] <imghost> uBuxubu, otherwise different modules will conflicts with each other anf hence kernel will not able to load anyof them
[12:27] <imghost> trijntje i said lspci -c network
[12:28] <trijntje> imghost: yes, and that is not a valid command, invalid option 'c'
[12:29] <trijntje> imghost: can you paste a screenshot of that driver window?
[12:29] <trijntje> !paste
[12:30] <PhilipM> Hello
[12:30] <neyder_> Ontani: with version of ubuntu are you using, in wich system, why do you have an old ext3 FS?
[12:30] <trijntje> hi PhilipM
[12:30] <PhilipM> How is it possible to get a job as a Unix administrator if everybody requires previous experience?

[12:32] <neyder_> Ontani: with version of ubuntu are you using, in wich system, why do you have an old ext3 FS??
[12:32] <neyder_> Ontani: sorry Up button deletes my message
[12:32] <Ontani> np
[12:32] <neyder_> Ontani: have you check SD card physical write protect?
[12:33] <Ontani> was thinking the exact same thing a few minutes ago
[12:33] <trijntje> imghost: http://pastebin.com/4iZZMLQX
[12:33] <Ontani> it's not locked
[12:36] <neyder_> Ontani: mount -l

[12:36] <imghost> trijntje,i only see ethernet interference, if you have broadcom wireless then paste the output of lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[12:37] <imghost> ethernet interface
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> ethernet interface
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> if you know what I am talkin' about.
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> all praise the ethernet interface.
[12:38] <VitoCorleone> ;)
[12:39] <Ontani> neyder_ : /dev/mmcblk0p3 on / type ext3 (rw)
[12:39] <imghost> VitoCorleone, i did correct it scrol up please and its t9 dictonary so when i typed inter then automaticaly interference
[12:39] <trijntje> imghost: I already know I need to use ndiswrapper, so this is all very pointless
[12:40] <mikubuntu> trijntje: thanks, unetbootin worked great for usb
[12:40] <neyder_> :S it shows as RW, if you want to configure, as workaround, put the SD card on other linux make changes and get back
[12:40] <neyder_> Ontani: previous was for you
[12:40] <trijntje> imghost: that command gives no output, lsusb shows13b1:0039 for the wifi dongle
[12:41] <mikubuntu> trijntje: does unetbootin work well for burning iso to cd also?
[12:41] <Ontani> rw isn't good?
[12:41] <bekks> mikubuntu: No.
[12:41] <mikubuntu> bekks: thx
[12:41] <bekks> mikubuntu: If you want to burn an image to a cd, use a cd burning application.
[12:41] <neyder_> Ontani: means read and write, so no reset have to be done.
[12:41] <imghost> trijntje, u did not tell you using usb wireless, that command shows whats in built wireless chips we have
[12:42] <Ontani> the changes I apply to my /etc/fstab are remembered
[12:42] <Ontani> so it almost has to be something else
[12:42] <mikubuntu> bekks: i already burned the cd's, i was having probs making a boot usb, but got it done with unet
[12:42] <neyder_> check rc files should they have some kind of resseting
[12:44] <neyder_> Ontani: I have to go out, luck with that
[12:44] <Ontani> thanks
[12:44] <trijntje> imghost: yes, I have a wifi dongle with Broadcom BCM43235 chipset that requires ndiswrapper to work. However, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper says no such module
[12:46] <bekks> trijntje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[12:46] <imghost> trijntje, are you using dual boot?
[12:47] <bekks> trijntje: According to a very short google session, your BCM43235 works fine without ndiswrapper.
[12:47] <trijntje> bekks: according to a very short actually trying, it doesn't
[12:48] <trijntje> imghost: yes, I'm using dual boot
[12:48] <imghost> bekks, yes  exactly ndiswrapper uses windows network device drivers
[12:48] <bekks> trijntje: So which driver did you use? Did you place the firmware required, etc.?
[12:48] <bekks> imghost: I know how ndiswrapper works ;)
[12:48] <mikubuntu> bekks: can i use unetbootin to add a side by side install of adriane-knoppix directly to my laptop?
[12:49] <bekks> mikubuntu: no.
[12:49] <trijntje> bekks: which drivers should I use? I haven't found any so far
[12:49] <bekks> trijntje: Then you havent read the link given.
[12:50] <mikubuntu> bekks: is there any reason i shouldn't do a side by side of adriane with my ubuntu as long as i have the space?
[12:50] <bekks> mikubuntu: As long as you dont know hopw to fix your boot environment to boot Ubuntu again after using unetbooting to place adriane-knoppix, you should do it.
[12:51] <mikubuntu> bekks: if i can learn it well, i can teach my blind friend to use it
[12:51] <imghost> bekks, trijntje guys will solve this problem just letme finish my call
[12:51] <bekks> imghost: Yeah, solve it please but not sticking to ndiswrapper since his chipset works fine without ndiswrapper.
[12:52] <chuzgrutz> is ubuntu the official distro for africans?
[12:52] <andyfied> official distro for everyone
[12:53] <mikubuntu> chuzgrutz: canonical, the company that developed ubuntu, is owned/operated by a south african, but is used by 20 million people around the world
[12:53] <chuzgrutz> ah ok i like the name
[12:54] <mikubuntu> chuzgrutz: i am who i am, because of who we all are
[12:55] <hans__> hi
[12:55] <hans__> can some omne help me
[12:55] <cfhowlett> hans__, greetings
[12:55] <cfhowlett> !ask|hans__,
[12:56] <trijntje> bekks: I've followed that page, what now?
[12:56] <hans__> ok ubottu
[12:56] <hans__> i want to install a bin fil for my nas
[12:57] <hans__> now i get this mesage
[12:57] <chuzgrutz> mikubuntu: i dont understand what you mean is that for linux?
[12:57] <romildo> Is there a program to tell me the version of a truetype font?
[12:57] <chuzgrutz> i am who i am because of my parents
[12:57] <uBUXUBu> ubuntu 1204-system settings-prorietary drivers-says driver activated but not in use? what in the heck does that mean?
[12:57] <hans__> /home/hans/Downloads/storagemgrsetup.bin: 2468: exec: /tmp/install.dir.3411/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found
[12:57] <hans__> mis i java on my system its a new install
[12:58] <hans__> its a long time ago that i hat ubuntu
[12:58] <mikubuntu> chuzgrutz: that is a rough translation of the word ubuntu -- 'i am who i am, because of who we all are,' meaning that it is built on community effort
[12:58] <uBUXUBu> and it says my graphics is unknown under system details-gives me the impression its not using my radeon 5570
[12:59] <uBUXUBu> ubuntu=for the good of all people
[13:01] <trijntje> bekks: I've copied the firmware files, but I'm not sure what I have to do next. The page doesnt have any more steps as far as I can tell, and wireless is not working
[13:03] <chuzgrutz> oh ok my mistake
[13:03] <chuzgrutz> does ubuntu support dogecoin
[13:03] <uBUXUBu> should i try 64bit ubuntu 1204? i have 32 bit now
[13:03] <uBUXUBu> i have 4gb ram
[13:03] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: can you post a screenshot of your driver screen?
[13:03] <trijntje> !paste
[13:04] <andyfied> chuzgrutz: ubuntu does support dogecoin
[13:04] <andyfied> i have instructions
[13:04] <chuzgrutz> plz link
[13:05] <Rienzilla> Hey all. I just installed ubuntu 12.04 as a guest OS under centos (kvm/libvirt). The guest installs fine, but it doesn't boot. It hangs after adding swap. Is this a known issue?
[13:05] <jdm> how are the security updates to Ubuntu?
[13:05] <jdm> are they daily like microsoft windows?
[13:05] <andyfied> chuzgrutz: http://b.agilob.net/such-address-many-dig-on-linux-wow/ there is a bit that mentions zypper, just ignore that
[13:05] <jdm> do i need to reboot for all of them?
[13:05] <jdm> or most, etc?
[13:05] <chuzgrutz> wow thanks clicking
[13:05] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, if your machine can support 64 bit, try it
[13:05] <cfhowlett> jdm, no
[13:06] <trijntje> jdm: security updates are daily, other updates every two weeks. Its very rare to have to reboot after updates
[13:06] <trijntje> btw, windows doesnt have daily updates
[13:08] <uBUXUBu> itdoes support 64 bit
[13:09] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, ?  torrent 64 bit and install ...
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> cfhowlett, should run a lil faster huh
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> its pretty fast now actually
[13:09] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, debatable ...
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> but i know in 64 bit it will use all the ram
[13:09] <uBUXUBu> snappy now though
[13:10] <trijntje> uBUXUBu: 32bit also uses all the ram, check you system monitor
[13:11] <uBUXUBu> well i have 2gb ram now but i ordered a set of new ram (4 1 gig sticks) so i should have 64 bit to let ubuntu see it all right?
[13:11] <trijntje> no, ubuntu can use more than 4GB ram with 32 bit, due to some trick I dont know ;)
[13:11] <uBUXUBu> for some reason its running like a sunburnt indian as it is though
[13:11] <bekks> uBUXUBu: You just have to use a PAE kernel.
[13:12] <trijntje> I run 32bit and I have 4G ram available
[13:12] <uBUXUBu> wow
[13:12] <Go|dfish_> !ops
[13:12] <cfhowlett> uBUXUBu, colorful AND offensive.
[13:12] <uBUXUBu> what is the benefit of staying with 32 bit?
[13:12] <bekks> uBUXUBu: None?
[13:12] <uBUXUBu> so there is no benefit
[13:13] <Go|dfish_> how do i get a booty like kim kardashian?
[13:13] <ItsMeLenny> how would i go about launching the i386 version of a program when i have both it and the 64bit version installed
[13:13] <uBUXUBu> so i think u mean that going to 64 bit is no benefit unless i install an awful otta ram
[13:13] <uBUXUBu> lot of*
[13:13] <ItsMeLenny> if you have 4gb or more of ram you should go 64bit
[13:13] <bekks> uBUXUBu: No. your question was: "Is there a benefit in staying with 32bit?" - The answer was: "no."
[13:13] <Go|dfish_> how do i get a booty like kim kardashian?
[13:14] <ItsMeLenny> although i have 64bit on my netbook which has 1gb of ram
[13:14] <uBUXUBu> i have read that 64 is snappier
[13:14] <bekks> uBUXUBu: Even with less than 4GB RAM you shoudl go with 64bit.
[13:14] <uBUXUBu> thats is what i thought bekks
[13:14] <andyfied> yeah, i got 2gb and i'm on 64bit
[13:14] <trijntje> bekks: I've followed the link you sent and copied the firmware files and rebooted, but I still have no wireless
[13:14] <uBUXUBu> a year or so ago ubuntu techs would recommend 32
[13:15] <uBUXUBu> i guess its more compatible now
[13:15] <andyfied> but i'm running lubuntu cos i think full flavour ubuntu might make it sluggish
[13:15] <bekks> trijntje: Did you check the functionality of the driver, like is it loaded, whats the dmesg output, etc. or did you just copy&paste?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> andyfied, vanilla ubuntu would almost certainly clog your 2 gigs of ram
[13:15] <ftp> set chroot_local_user=YES, but can not restrict user to the virtual root directory, it still can change to /, what is the reason
[13:15] <fowl> andyfied, im running ubuntu ultralite 100s for the same reason
[13:15] <uBUXUBu> i tried lubuntu and its nice but its seemed to be the same speed as ubuntu or awfully close
[13:15] <bekks> uBUXUBu: teh devs recommend that since there stilll are 32bit only machines out there.
[13:16] <uBUXUBu> ok cool im glad thats the only reason bekks
[13:16] <trijntje> bekks: what do you mean? I went here http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211 and followed the instructions
[13:16] <ItsMeLenny> how would i go about launching the i386 version of a program when i have both it and the 64bit version installed
[13:16] <andyfied> i wasn't even going to bother with a DE, but now i'm kind of glad i did
[13:16] <uBUXUBu> well when my 4 gb ram get here ima switch to 64 then
[13:16] <jdm> trijntje: some days it seems like it
[13:16] <uBUXUBu> this might be a nice lil boost
[13:16] <andyfied> only because i like to look at gkrellm :)
[13:17] <jdm> trijntje: i have a question since i havent used linux full time in years
[13:17] <uBUXUBu> i was thinking of making my page file ram 8gb...since ima have 4gb ram? is that enough?
[13:17] <ftp> chroot_local_enable=YES, it has no effect
[13:17] <bekks> trijntje: there are instructions for two drivers on that page. Whichc one did you follow?
[13:17] <jdm> trijntje: can i do a very small ubuntu install, copy files over to the linux partition and then gradually resize the partitions giving linux more space?
[13:17] <ftp> vsftpd.conf
[13:17] <bekks> ubottu: ubuntu has no page file. Ubuntu has swap. And 4.1GB are enough when having 4GB RAM.
[13:18] <bekks> uBUXUBu: ubuntu has no page file. Ubuntu has swap. And 4.1GB are enough when having 4GB RAM.
[13:18] <imghost> bekks, trijntje am back prblem solved?
[13:18] <uBUXUBu> but i had a crazy idea....install no swap BUT buy a fast flash drive and make that the swap ram??
[13:18] <ftp> chroot_local_user=YES, chroot_list_enable=YES and chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
[13:19] <bekks> uBUXUBu: what is "the swap ram"?
[13:19] <gordonjcp> uBUXUBu: no
[13:19] <uBUXUBu> wont work huh gordonjcp ?
[13:19] <ftp> ubuntu 13.10
[13:19] <gordonjcp> uBUXUBu: flash has a limited number of write cycles.  Using it for swap is a bad idea
[13:19] <trijntje> bekks: Im not sure, that page is really unclear
[13:19] <mvk1> i've made a script, that can automatically set the brightness of your laptop, using your webcam and new technique i'm trying out (using a halo mask)
[13:19] <bekks> gordonjcp: It was, a decade ago. Nowadays you wont ever reacg that technical limit during your lifetime.
[13:20] <mvk1> https://github.com/mvklingeren/ambient-light-sensor-emulation
[13:20] <mvk1> anyone willing to try it out?
[13:20] <imghost> trijntje, what page?
[13:20] <uBUXUBu> bummer
[13:20] <bekks> trijntje: The page is perfectly clear, it is divided into the instructions for two drivers.   SURE ...
[13:20] <bekks> gordonjcp: You wont. :)
[13:20] <gordonjcp> no-one uses swap any more anyway
[13:21] <uBUXUBu> well i hope i dont use the swap
[13:21] <bekks> gordonjcp: Thats nonsense. Everyone who uses hibernation uses swap.
[13:21] <uBUXUBu> i just make it just in case
[13:21] <trijntje> bekks: I did the brcmmac drivers because for brcmfmac  the instructions only say 'for usb driver no nvram file is needed'
[13:22] <bekks> trijntje: your chipset requires the brcmfmac driver, not the brcmmac
[13:22] <uBUXUBu> i noticed...even if u do not make a big swap ubuntu will force feed u a small swap (like about a half a gig)
[13:22] <raj1991raj> is there a command line dictionary for ubuntu 12.10
[13:22] <bekks> trijntje: And you cite just states that no nvram file is needed.
[13:22] <cfhowlett> raj1991raj, man man
[13:22] <raj1991raj> cfhowlett: what
[13:22] <trijntje> bekks: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#Broadcom_brcmfmac_driver
[13:22] <cfhowlett> raj1991raj, terminal command: man man
[13:23] <bekks> trijntje: Yes, and?
[13:23] <bekks> trijntje: Did you follow the instructions there?
[13:24] <uBUXUBu> if someone could engineer a flash drive that can handle millions of writes my idea would work then prolly
[13:24] <raj1991raj> cfhowlett: i want a dictionary that would be command line. not a manual page for man
[13:24] <trijntje> bekks: where does it mention which files I need to copy:? it only says 'the firmware can be found ni the repository'
[13:24] <bekks> trijntje: Like providiing the sdio driver firmware, etc? And whats the full output of dmesg?
[13:24] <bekks> trijntje: Just read the full section...
[13:24] <bekks> trijntje: Three lines down...
[13:24] <raj1991raj> cfhowlett: an eglish to english dictionary
[13:25] <raj1991raj> english*
[13:25] <trijntje> bekks: I must be stupid or blind, because I dont see anything for my chipset, BCM43235
[13:25] <bekks> uBUXUBu: Current flash drives can handle that much writes...
[13:25] <uBUXUBu> then why cant i make a fast flash drive a swap drive?
[13:25] <VitoCorleone> bekks, windows or ubuntu.
[13:26] <bekks> VitoCorleone: Doesnt matter what I am using ;)
[13:26] <raj1991raj> no one knows ?
[13:26] <bekks> trijntje: Did you install the package from the repos mentioned?
[13:26] <bekks> trijntje: And do you mind to answer my previous questions?
[13:27] <trijntje> bekks: I have no idea what you are talking about, sorry. I dont see anything about packages on that page
[13:27] <VitoCorleone> bekks, if you were running away from the police, and you had to use a OS, would you rather use ubuntu or windows 8?
[13:27] <VitoCorleone> ;)
[13:27] <bekks> trijntje: "The firmware can be found in the linux-firmware repository."
[13:27] <bekks> VitoCorleone: Doesnt matter for Ubuntu support in here.
[13:28] <cortexA9> hello i have one question, i think grub doesn't start on my system. Is it possible to use the boot manager of windows to boot ubuntu ?
[13:28] <VitoCorleone> bekks; answer my question please.
[13:28] <VitoCorleone> bekks, your job is to answer questions that are given to you.
[13:28] <cfhowlett> cortexA9, possible but something of a PITA to set up
[13:28] <bekks> VitoCorleone: Ignore set.
[13:28] <cfhowlett> !attitude|VitoCorleone,
[13:28] <trijntje> bekks: yes, and that repository contains hundreds of files, which one do I need?
[13:28] <mvk1> cfhowlett, you can see that the SH script uses generally available tools (on Ubuntu)
[13:29] <VitoCorleone> cfhowlett; what is a volunteer?
[13:29] <VitoCorleone> what is the difference between a helper and a volunteer?
[13:29] <mvk1> cfhowlett, https://github.com/mvklingeren/ambient-light-sensor-emulation/blob/master/autobright.sh
[13:29] <cortexA9> because i wanna dual booting ubuntu.
[13:29] <bekks> trijntje: "linux-firmware" is a package name. ;)
[13:30] <cfhowlett> mvk1, I stopped responding to your query because I don't know.  Thanks for the links but ... I still can't help.  Sorry.
[13:30] <cortexA9> and i don't want lost my windows partition
[13:30] <mvk1> cfhowlett, you see this last line, rm /tmp/snap00001.png
[13:30] <mvk1> cfhowlett, that means, right after getting luminance values, the image is deleted
[13:30] <cortexA9> *lose
[13:30] <cortexA9> sry
[13:31] <mvk1> cfhowlett, being alert these days is of course required
[13:31] <mvk1> thats more then true and sad
[13:31] <trijntje> bekks: you mean a .deb package?
[13:31] <cfhowlett> mvk1, right.  cool.  Thanks.  I'm not touching that script with a 10 foot pole.  But rest assured, someone less paranoid than me will be happy to help you.
[13:32] <trijntje> bekks: from the ubuntu repository?
[13:32] <bekks> trijntje: Yes.
[13:32] <mvk1> cfhowlett, dont be so frikin paranoid =]
