[03:23] <Unguided> Hello all. Can someone please tell me what the recommended partition size for root and swap partition is for a new install please?
[03:33] <Unguided> Anyone?
[03:41] <JackyAlcine> Unguided: Root partition has to be at least 2.6 Gbs, recommended 10Gbs.
[03:42] <JackyAlcine> Unguided: Swap space should be 1.5x your RAM.
[03:43] <Unguided> JackyAlcine: OK. I can do that. I read the recommendation somewhere but i could not remember. Thank You so much for the help.
[03:44] <JackyAlcine> Unguided: No problem, always free free to ask questions here.
[03:45] <Unguided> JackyAlcine: any other partitions you would recommend and if so what size. I know home is where the user files are stored and this is n=my first full install on an older laptop.
[03:48] <JackyAlcine> Well, normally it's safe to install everything onto one partition, but to ensure data integrity after a (God forbid) system failure that won't hopefully harm your home directory, you can split the root partition into two parts; I recommend at least 70 Gbs for /home (your home folder) and 30 Gbs for your root directory (/)
[03:48] <JackyAlcine> This can be done in the Advanced Settings in the Ubiquity dialog (installation screen), Unguided.
[03:49] <JackyAlcine> Ensure that after those two resizing, you still have 1.5xRAM Gbs of space for swap.
[03:51] <Unguided> So what do you recommend for a 40gb HD. the laptop is an older Gateway. its a 2.4ghz with 512mb ram and 40 gb hard drive
[04:03] <yofel> hm, if you've got an external drive you can easy backup /home to, I wouldn't seperate them in that case, and go with 1-2G swap and the rest for /
[04:04] <yofel> if you really want to seperate them, 5-10G for / should be enough, depending how much software you plan to install
[04:07] <Unguided> Yofel: ok thanks. Ive been debating on buying a bigger HD but cant justify buying an IDE drive for it.
[04:27] <Unguided> Off to sleep. Good night all.
[05:08] <arrrghhh> hey all.  just installed ubuntu on my buddy's laptop, and GRUB doesn't see windows 7 for some reason.  win7 is still there, how can i get grub to 'see' it?
[05:10] <holstein> sudo update-grub maybe
[05:10] <holstein> arrrghhh: ^^
[05:10] <holstein> it should just see it
[05:10] <holstein> try that, and note the output
[05:11] <arrrghhh> holstein, i did try that... it sees itself (obviously) but no other partitions.
[05:11] <arrrghhh> i have a "os" entry in the places menu
[05:11] <holstein> check and make sure its still there
[05:11] <arrrghhh> and when i click it, i see my windows drive basically.
[05:11] <holstein> OH
[05:11] <holstein> ok
[05:11] <arrrghhh> isn't that good enough?
[05:11] <arrrghhh> lol
[05:11] <holstein> you can add it manually i suppose
[05:11] <holstein> in grub2
[05:12] <arrrghhh> how can i add it manually?
[05:12] <arrrghhh> i was thinking about tryin that... i've honestly never had grub not see windows.
[05:12] <holstein> yeah, me either
[05:13] <arrrghhh> so how can i add the entry to grub2 manually?
[05:13] <holstein> i would think you would add something to /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[05:13] <holstein> id probably google
[05:13] <holstein> and poke around on the grub2 wiki a bit
[05:13] <arrrghhh> lol ok
[05:13] <holstein> surely this has come up on a forum somewheres
[05:14] <holstein> at least with xp
[05:16] <jiohdi> grub2 is complicated
[05:16] <jiohdi> you cannot just add to it like that
[05:16] <jiohdi> there are special files you have to change and then update it
[05:16] <holstein> in theory, you can
[05:16] <holstein> but you really shouldnt
[05:16] <jiohdi> if you do, it just reverts later
[05:17] <holstein> or, shouldnt have to
[05:17] <arrrghhh> jiohdi, how can i fix this?
[05:17] <holstein> depends on what you change
[05:17] <yofel> jiohdi: if you add it to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, it won't
[05:17]  * holstein high-fives yofel
[05:17] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, you can run this script to get a what is where on the computer, pastebin it if needed if your near the computer. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[05:17] <jiohdi> yofel: yes, thats one of the ones you fix
[05:18] <nit-wit> might be missing a windows boot file if a partition was removed
[05:19] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, yea that's probably what happened.
[05:20] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, I suspect it can be fixed without manually hacking grub2
[05:21] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, good news.  i'll paste that output in a sec
[05:21] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, I have a script with the correct files if you don't know what to look for.:)
[05:22] <nit-wit> holstein, just seeing whats up.:)
[05:22] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, i wouldn't consider myself a beginner, but i feel like one after this!
[05:22] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, I am to.
[05:26] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/qV5KQjci
[05:27] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, easy fix hold on.
[05:28] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, look at sda3 and notice the missing here is what it should look like  /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe
[05:28] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, this is missing /bootmgr /Boot/BCD
[05:29] <arrrghhh> ok... how do i fix it?
[05:29] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, the bootflag is on sda1 should be on sda3
[05:29] <arrrghhh> but GRUB is on sda1?
[05:30] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, you can put the bootflag on sda3 ten boot the recovery disc and run the autorepair three times or go to the command and run bootrec.exe /fixboot
[05:30] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, grub ias not the problem nor does it need a bootflag
[05:30] <nit-wit> *is
[05:30] <arrrghhh> oic
[05:30] <arrrghhh> ok
[05:31] <arrrghhh> so i boot to the win7 recovery disc
[05:31] <arrrghhh> and run bootrec.exe /fixboot
[05:31] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, one or the other I would just let the repair run you will just reload grub to the mbr its easy I wil lhelp you.
[05:32] <arrrghhh> ok booting to recovery win7 now
[05:32] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, repair or the command not both
[05:32] <arrrghhh> k
[05:32] <arrrghhh> doin the command
[05:32] <arrrghhh> haven't done repair
[05:33] <arrrghhh> hrm.  where do i run that command from?
[05:33] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, sometimes the repair command doesn't compete and the repair does so well those are the two methods.
[05:34] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, choose the languga then repiar the get to the repair section hold on I will get you w windows 7 visual link
[05:34] <arrrghhh> ok
[05:34] <arrrghhh> i am and the cmd prompt
[05:34] <arrrghhh> from repair
[05:34] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, here is a visual to the command line http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html
[05:35] <nit-wit> the is a command terminal in repair
[05:35] <nit-wit> *there
[05:35] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, the link is for just getting to the terminal.
[05:36] <arrrghhh> oh i'm at the terminal
[05:36] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, if you run the command reboot to Ubuntu and run update-grub
[05:36] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, i'm at the win7 terminal
[05:36] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, hold on
[05:36] <arrrghhh> from system recovery options i chose command prompt
[05:36] <arrrghhh> np
[05:37] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, I was just making sure I gave you the correct command
[05:37] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, yes command prompt as in the pictures
[05:37] <arrrghhh> yup
[05:38] <arrrghhh> no worries
[05:38] <arrrghhh> i identified the disk
[05:38] <arrrghhh> did cd boot
[05:38] <arrrghhh> and dir
[05:38] <arrrghhh> i have a bootsect.exe
[05:39] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, BootRec.exe /FixBoot
[05:39] <arrrghhh> i did that before
[05:39] <arrrghhh> "The volume does not contain a recognized file system"
[05:40] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, that is all you have to do, if thats what you just did one command reboot to ubuntu and run sudo update-grub
[05:41] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, okay  your confusing me, when did you do that before
[05:41] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, that command didn't work
[05:41] <arrrghhh> i ran bootsect.exe /fixboot
[05:41] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, exsplain
[05:41] <arrrghhh> and it gave me that error
[05:42] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, did you move the bootflag to sda3 before boot the recovery disc
[05:43] <arrrghhh> crap... skipped that step.
[05:43] <egossett> i installed this debian pkg - linux ssl vpn and i cannot find it on my computer
[05:43] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, do that reboot and try again, easy mistake no harm done.:)
[05:44] <egossett> it was - ssl vpn installer rpm pkg - got message that says it was installed but i cannot find it on my computer
[05:44] <nit-wit> brb
[05:46] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, I assume you know how to use gparted to change the boot flag.
[05:46] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, yup doin that now.
[05:46] <arrrghhh> k ntfs drive now has bootflag
[05:47] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, cool
[05:47] <arrrghhh> then back to win7 recovery?
[05:48] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, yeah it should work now, but sometimes it doesn't then you use the repair at the top line on the same screen as the command choice
[05:49] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, were hoping to slide in the missing files and keep grub in place.
[05:49] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, if i have to re-setup grub it'll be fine
[05:50] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, loading the mbr is easy
[05:55] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, man i hate windows.  my version of win7 is ultimate and his version is home premium, so startup repair is not working.
[05:55] <arrrghhh> making progress tho, at least it sees there is a windows install there :D
[05:57] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, here is a recovery disc download, it is a ISO. http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
[05:57] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, every disc is the same they all have all the versions in 32 or 64 bit.
[05:58] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, the recovery down load is just a small bit of data to get you to the command
[05:59] <nit-wit> *comman/reair...etc
[05:59] <nit-wit> *repair
[06:11] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, any other ideas?  i just get "BOOTMGR is missing" now.
[06:11] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, so what have you done exactly
[06:12] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, well enabled that bootflag
[06:12] <arrrghhh> so /dev/sda3 has the bootflag
[06:12] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, good, and
[06:12] <arrrghhh> tried the bootrec /fixboot
[06:12] <arrrghhh> rebooted, bootmgr not found
[06:12] <arrrghhh> try bootsect /nt60 c:
[06:12] <arrrghhh> reboot, fail
[06:13] <arrrghhh> bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr
[06:13] <arrrghhh> fail
[06:13] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, the autorepair wouldn't run?
[06:13] <arrrghhh> nope
[06:13] <arrrghhh> said it failed as well
[06:14] <arrrghhh> although it keeps whining about how it's not the right version
[06:14] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, what was the actual error as you need to run it 3 times
[06:14] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, download the recovery disc  posted.
[06:14] <arrrghhh> i need to run the bootrec command 3x?
[06:15] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, no, look at the 4 screen picture on the w& forums link there is a auto repair that is run 3 times
[06:15] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, 4th scree W7 forums link.
[06:17] <arrrghhh> the command prompt screen?
[06:18] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, yes at the top is startup repair=3 times
[06:18] <arrrghhh> oh
[06:18] <arrrghhh> hrm
[06:18] <arrrghhh> i guess i'll try it 3x
[06:18] <arrrghhh> it fails every time tho
[06:18] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, did you try that yet?
[06:19] <arrrghhh> i don't know if i've done it 3x
[06:19] <arrrghhh> i tried startup repair
[06:19] <arrrghhh> and it always fails
[06:19] <arrrghhh> offers to send an error report...
[06:19] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, okay, but did you run it 3 times in a row without other commands.
[06:19] <arrrghhh> probably not.
[06:19] <arrrghhh> so i run it, reboot, run it, reboot, run it reboot?
[06:20] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, no run it 3 times before ren=booting
[06:21] <arrrghhh> hrm
[06:21] <arrrghhh> ok
[06:21] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, If your getting errors with your disc then download the link and burn a disc and use it.
[06:22] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, errors I mean your description of a mysterious error of your disc not working, you do,t give a exact account here.
[06:22] <arrrghhh> eh this is a windows repair now as i see it
[06:23] <arrrghhh> so i'll just pick this up tomorrow. i do appreicate all your help tho.
[06:23] <arrrghhh> still boggles my mind how ubuntu didn't find win... oy.
[06:24] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, no problem this if W7 is intact is a easy fix, I help people everyday with just this sort of thing at the Ubuntu forums.
[06:26] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, Ubuntu didn't find windows due to missing files, somebody removed the partition where they were. It  is not Ubuntu or grub here.
[06:27] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, yea i wiped the 'recovery partition' basically
[06:28] <arrrghhh> but i thought that would be OK assuming i left the 'main' partition
[06:28] <arrrghhh> i thought recovery was just to reimage the machine in case something happens...
[06:29] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, this is where that bootscript will help you in the future, if you had run it you would have seen that you were missing the files on sda3 and inserted them and booted it to make sure it works before removing the recovery.
[06:30] <arrrghhh> nit-wit, well i removed it and installed ubuntu on that recovery part.  did the same thing with several other computers
[06:30] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, with factory installs the boot bcd can be in up to 3 partitions.
[06:31] <arrrghhh> damn.
[06:31] <arrrghhh> i bet that little fat16 one i blew away...
[06:31] <arrrghhh> i should've left it.  bah.
[06:32] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, no big deal I think the downloaded recovery disc may work, it does all the rest of times, I rarely see failures here if people follow the command or autorepair proptocol correctly.
[06:32] <arrrghhh> ok
[06:32] <arrrghhh> i'll download that iso tomorrow
[06:33] <nit-wit> arrrghhh, That will probably do it.
[08:42] <madcSPYnX> hi is natty narwhal is release or not

[08:45] <geekosopher> breaking news! :D
[08:46] <MrChrisDruif> ???
[08:50] <MrChrisDruif> geekosopher: What's the *breaking* news?
[08:58] <geekosopher> MrChrisDruif: i was referring to the natty release mentioned by bioterror ;)
[08:58] <bioterror> yep, never got an answer
[08:59] <MrChrisDruif> I didn't see that naty release mention...hence my question about the epic news...
[08:59] <MrChrisDruif> +t
[09:00] <geekosopher> never mind, was just trying to be 'punny' :)
[09:01] <MrChrisDruif> Is the second alpha out or something?
[09:01] <bioterror> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule
[09:02] <MrChrisDruif> Alright....so feb 3rd :)
[09:03] <bioterror> Lubuntu has Feb. 3rd too
[09:03] <MrChrisDruif> Awesome :)
[09:24] <charliemac> How do I choose the correct Partitioning option when following <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows>?
[09:27] <charliemac> I would have installed #lubuntu, but I couldn't boot from the CD-rom
[09:45] <maR3> how can I change my USER@ for use on IRC, or is it bound to my account name?
[09:49] <MrChrisDruif> maR3: You mean IRC-nick?
[09:50] <maR3> no, I mean the user in user@host :)
[09:50] <maR3><EMAIL_ADDRESS>the "marensius" part :-)
[09:51] <MrChrisDruif> Isn't that your account name for IRC? :) So I think it can't be changed
[09:52] <maR3> it is my account name in ubuntu yes, however when I blocked port 113 I could manipulate it to whatever I want ,however when I opened 113 for oidentd it got bound to my account name, so now im interessted in manipulating it again ;) changing the user in the .conf didnt help me :( so now I seek help ;)
[09:54] <MrChrisDruif> Well...I don't know, sorry :)
[09:54] <maR3> np, thanks for trying though ;)
[09:55] <geekosopher> maR3: as you mentioned, it is your username on that computer
[09:55] <maR3> yep, however, isnt it possible for me to override it?
[09:56] <geekosopher> I think you can change it in your irc client
[09:56] <geekosopher> which one are you using?
[09:56] <maR3> I have tried changing it in both Xchat(which I am using now) and Irssi, without positive results
[09:56] <geekosopher> what did you try in irssi?
[09:57] <maR3> I changed the "user_name" in .irssi/config
[09:58] <geekosopher> hmmm... let me see
[10:00] <geekosopher> maR3: it works
[10:00] <geekosopher> do this:
[10:01] <geekosopher> when you are in irssi, type "/set user_name <whatyouwish>"
[10:01] <geekosopher> then quit irssi
[10:01] <geekosopher> start again
[10:01] <geekosopher> maR3: you there?
[10:01] <maR3> that only works for me when I block port 113 for oident :(
[10:02] <maR3> has no effect for me when 113 is open
[10:03] <geekosopher> don't know much about that though :(
[10:03] <maR3> me neither :p thanks for trying ;D I will experiment some, or just, block 113 again ;)
[10:03] <geekosopher> np :)

[14:04] <holstein> lol
[14:04] <madcSPYnX> is it possible to open it in that os
[14:04] <holstein> madcSPYnX: whats the problem then?
[14:04] <holstein> you meant hypothetically?

[14:09] <madcSPYnX> can u help me
[14:09] <holstein> hey
[14:09] <madcSPYnX> is that ok to create encrypted fat32
[14:09] <holstein> madcSPYnX: is this relavant?
[14:09] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667904
[14:09] <holstein> i was assuming lvm
[14:15] <madcSPYnX> i think it's not the same..
[14:16] <holstein> it = the encryption?
[14:17] <holstein> root@ :/ ...not ideal
[14:17] <holstein> oh well
[15:04] <madcSPYnX> how can i open my encrypted user to my root
[15:05] <holstein> hey again madcSPYnX
[15:06] <holstein> i was going to say, its probably not ideal to run chat as root
[15:06] <holstein> anyways, what is your question?
[15:06] <holstein> you have an encrypted user?
[15:07] <madcSPYnX> i know that but  i can't open my  user account
[15:07] <madcSPYnX> i want to access my user  home  folder
[15:07] <holstein> you can log in as that user
[15:08] <madcSPYnX> and transfer it to my root account
[15:08] <holstein> i dont do a lot of lvm myself
[15:08] <holstein> but its not supposed to be easy
[15:08] <holstein> i would think you would need to log in as the user in question
[15:09] <madcSPYnX> no i want  to  access my user's file through  my root
[15:09] <madcSPYnX> the file says encrypted-desktop
[15:10] <madcSPYnX> i want to access that  how can i decrypt it using my  root
[15:10] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[15:10] <holstein> maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder
[15:11] <holstein> "Normally fuse only allows access to the user who mounted an encrypted share; this is irrespective of the filesystem permissions. Because we used allow_root, the root user will be able to access your decrypted mount point"
[15:12] <madcSPYnX> hehehe i don't understand  that
[15:13] <madcSPYnX> what do u mean
[15:13] <holstein> madcSPYnX: i just copied that from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder
[15:13] <holstein> i would assume that a setting somewhere
[15:13] <holstein> allow_root
[15:14] <madcSPYnX> ok :)
[15:14] <madcSPYnX> ok tnx
[15:14] <holstein> i think its a little conterproductive though
[15:14] <madcSPYnX> what is better to use an altenate cd or desktop cd
[15:15] <holstein> you're asking 'dont let anyone but this user open this'
[15:15] <holstein> and if you cahnge that
[15:15] <holstein> then, anyone with a live CD and sudo can access it
[15:15] <holstein> and if you change*
[15:15] <madcSPYnX> i mess my system i want to reinstall it
[15:16] <holstein> it =?
[15:17] <holstein> the system?
[15:17] <holstein> with encrypted home?
[15:17] <holstein> you have a passphrase or something right?
[15:17] <madcSPYnX> yea i lost my passphrase :(
[15:18] <madcSPYnX> i have a passphrase but i lost it
[15:18] <holstein> madcSPYnX: stop dcc sending me as well please
[15:18] <madcSPYnX> ok sorry
[15:19] <holstein> madcSPYnX: lvm encryption?
[15:19] <madcSPYnX> what is better to use an alternate cd or a desktop ubuntu cd
[15:19] <madcSPYnX> i don't knoww
[15:20] <holstein> alternate CD's cannot be used live
[15:20] <madcSPYnX> ok
[15:20] <holstein> alternate CD has more options
[15:20] <madcSPYnX> i know
[15:20] <holstein> well, *different install options
[15:21] <holstein> madcSPYnX: you know what?
[15:21] <madcSPYnX> can that cd automatic connnect me  to a wifii
[15:21] <charliemac> Is it possible to have a seperate/unique primary partition for the ubuntu swap in stead of a logical partition under the same primary partition as the root?
[15:21] <holstein> madcSPYnX: depends on your hardware
[15:22] <holstein> might need a restricted driver for you wireless card
[15:22] <holstein> but, in theory, yes
[15:22] <madcSPYnX> ok
[15:23] <holstein> charliemac: i think you can specify swap where ever you need
[15:23] <holstein> i remember having swap on an external SD card once
[15:23] <holstein> i gave up on the idea thoug
[15:23] <holstein> h
[15:23] <charliemac> Ok, thanks!
[15:24] <madcSPYnX> is that alternate can install me a server and desktop at the same time?
[15:24] <madcSPYnX> like a debian installer
[15:24] <holstein> ubuntuserver = ubuntudesktop
[15:24] <holstein> so yes and no
[15:25] <holstein> you can run whatever servers you want that you would run on ubuntuserver
[15:25] <holstein> while running normal buntu
[15:25] <madcSPYnX> both
[15:25] <holstein> or, install gnome/kde or whatever on the server version
[15:26] <madcSPYnX> is that what u are saying is in the alternate cd or in desktop
[15:26] <holstein> both
[15:27] <holstein> everything is in the repositories anyways
[15:27] <madcSPYnX> ok
[15:27] <madcSPYnX> i want to install offline what should i use a dvd set or a cd
[15:28] <holstein> what do you want to end up with ?
[15:28] <holstein> the normal desktop live cd is a good place to start
[15:29] <madcSPYnX> a complete installion
[15:29] <madcSPYnX> like the  6 sets of dvd of debian
[15:30] <holstein> you can further define what you define as 'complete installation;
[15:30] <madcSPYnX> yyess
[15:30] <charliemac> Does the /Boot partition have to be primary, or can it be logical?
[15:30] <holstein> charliemac: that im not sure of
[15:30] <madcSPYnX> primary
[15:31] <madcSPYnX> and must be 100mb only
[15:46] <charliemac> What would the mount-point be for a windows/linux shared fat-32 shared space?
[16:00] <maR3> how can I get maven into eclipse by using apt-get? when I have user apt-get install eclipse maven2 I still cant find maven options in my eclipse program, anny suggestions? :)
[17:55] <UndiFineD> maR3: open up eclipse market from within eclipse
[19:02] <seidos> anyone know the chromium ppa by heart?
[19:02] <seidos> dang it, where's mettatron when i need him
[19:03] <holstein> seidos: google knows all
[19:03] <holstein> https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa
[19:03] <holstein> thats the daily one
[19:03] <holstein> be sure you get stable for testing if you prefer
[19:15] <vangelis_> hi! newbie with update problems.help plz..
[19:15] <holstein> vangelis_: what OS ?
[19:16] <vangelis_> ubuntu 10.10
[19:16] <holstein> whats the error?
[19:17] <vangelis_> when i try to update i get "failed to lock the package manager"
[19:17] <holstein> vangelis_: you got something else open?
[19:17] <holstein> synaptic?
[19:17] <vangelis_> nope
[19:17] <holstein> software center?
[19:17] <vangelis_> nope
[19:17] <holstein> vangelis_: close the update manager
[19:17] <holstein> and whatever else
[19:17] <holstein> open a terminal
[19:17] <holstein> do
[19:17] <holstein> sudo apt-get update
[19:17] <holstein> and sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:17] <holstein> and see if you have any error messages
[19:22] <vangelis_> could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: resource temporarily unavailable) and unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
[19:22] <philinux> vangelis_: close synaptic or update manage then try the terminal.
[19:23] <holstein> yeah, thats why you get that error
[19:23] <holstein> when something else is already running
[19:23] <philinux> vangelis_: I'd reboot and then try the above terminal commands.
[19:24] <vangelis_> again the same messages. ok i'll try reboot. brb!!
[19:36] <vangelis_> i'm back.the update asks for the disc labeled ubuntu 10.10 (..) but when i press enter it reshows the same message.. pff
[19:37] <holstein> vangelis_: next time you restart
[19:37] <holstein> try those commands
[19:37] <holstein> sudo apt-get update
[19:37] <holstein> that asks for the packages to me updated
[19:37] <holstein> package cache
[19:38] <holstein> sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:38] <holstein> asks for the packages to actually be upgraded
[19:38] <vangelis_> that's what I did. it said 82% working and then it asked for a media change
[19:38] <holstein> OK
[19:38] <holstein> i would go into software sources
[19:38] <holstein> in the menu
[19:39] <holstein> and uncheck any boxes for cd media
[19:39] <holstein> you have somehow requested that a CD be used as a source
[19:42] <vangelis_> just did this and it popped again failed to lock the package manager. I did that? wow..
[19:43] <holstein> vangelis_: did this?
[19:43] <holstein> did what?
[19:43] <holstein> edited your sources?
[19:43] <holstein> its going to fail
[19:43] <holstein> because the other instance is still trying to get you to put a CD in
[19:43] <holstein> you can restart if you dont know how to kill it
[19:43] <holstein> restart
[19:44] <holstein> double check the software sources
[19:44] <holstein> update
[19:44] <holstein> OR dont update
[19:44] <vangelis_> untick "installable from cd"
[19:44] <holstein> vangelis_: untick anything relating to a source you dont have
[19:44] <holstein> any discs
[19:44] <holstein> OR put the disc in
[19:45] <holstein> you dont want to have to do that each time though
[19:46] <vangelis_> i have the disc in but it won't read it. so, let's summarize. untick sources i don't have-->restart--> try update again?
[19:46] <holstein> right
[19:46] <aveilleux> vangelis_: You don't need to reboot after changing software sources
[19:46] <holstein> you should just have the online sources
[19:46] <holstein> aveilleux: hey
[19:46] <aveilleux> hello holstein
[19:47] <holstein> the update manager is requesting the disc be put in
[19:47] <holstein> and is kicking up an error
[19:47] <vangelis_> ok, online services are ticked, so let's try updating again
[19:47] <holstein> and i have suggested that restarting would probably be the easiest way to get around that
[19:47] <holstein> after updating the sources
[19:47] <philinux> holstein: He must have the cd ticked under sources. Needs unticking
[19:48] <holstein> philinux: right
[19:48] <vangelis_> i have unticked them
[19:48] <holstein> vangelis_: restart and give it a try
[19:48] <holstein> should be fine now
[19:48] <vangelis_> ok, brb, thanks
[19:55] <vangelis_> holstein, you're my hero!
[20:19] <kristian-aalborg> hi all
[20:20] <Dangr_> kristian-aalborg: hi
[20:21] <Geocosm> How do you make media stop showing up on the desktop when you plug it in? (like a USB stick)
[20:22] <kristian-aalborg> please let me know if this is considered "improper" to ask, but would someone know how to download embedded flv files from a web page?
[20:23] <Dangr_> kristian-aalborg: I'd use a plug-in
[20:23] <Dangr_> kristian-aalborg: Video DownloadHelper might work for you
[20:23] <kristian-aalborg> Dangr_: it fails repeatedly
[20:24] <Dangr_> :-/ Its the only one I have used before. Sorry
[20:24] <kristian-aalborg> I'm thinking there might be a script to fetch the flv and then wget/curl it
[20:24] <Dangr_> Try Greasemonkey
[20:25] <Dangr_> You might be able to write a script or find one for it
[20:25] <Geocosm> I'm trying to install something with winetricks-alpha, does "fixme:" necessarily mean errors?
[20:25] <Geocosm> Earlier I was getting "err:" now I'm getting a lot of "fixme:"
[20:27] <kristian-aalborg> Geocosm: does the installation finish?
[20:27] <Geocosm> It's less than halfway through just now.
[20:29] <kristian-aalborg> try letting it finish and then run the program
[20:29] <kristian-aalborg> you might get some useful error messages
[20:38] <aveilleux> Geocosm: fixme messages tend to be bugs or omissions that the developer is aware of, and shouldn't be a problem.
[20:38] <Geocosm> Oh yay :)
[21:47] <bethdo97> help, I aam installing ubuntu on my son's vaio laptop on a brandnew hard drive and it doesn't seem to be working
[21:48] <holstein> bethdo97: what seems to be the trouble?
[21:48] <bioterror> laptop or the installation
[21:48] <holstein> how did ubuntu run on the vaio live?
[21:50] <bethdo97> when I reeboot the computer, instead of gettinng into the desktop like it says we should be getting it comes up to a terminal prompt
[21:51] <holstein> bethdo97: 10.10?
[21:51] <holstein> did you get to the desktop running the disc live?
[21:52] <bethdo97> I didn't get an option to boot to live that I remember.  Said because hard drivee was totally empty had to do full install
[21:52] <bethdo97> 10.10
[21:52] <holstein> nah
[21:52] <holstein> that aint right
[21:52] <holstein> you might need a proprietary driver
[21:52] <holstein> you can login there
[21:52] <holstein> and intstall what you need
[21:53] <holstein> i would try from the live CD some options
[21:53] <bioterror> terminal prompt
[21:53] <holstein> til i see desktop running
[21:53] <bioterror> you mean tty aka console
[21:53] <holstein> live CD doesnt care about the HD
[21:53] <holstein> you can have no hard drive at all and boot a live CD
[21:53] <holstein> IF you got the live CD
[21:54] <bioterror> I would rather check the model of the sony vaio and do some googling
[21:54] <holstein> bethdo97: maybe you got the alternate CD ?
[21:54] <holstein> bioterror: yeah
[21:54] <bioterror> in the first place
[21:54] <holstein> thats a good point ^^
[21:54] <bioterror> forums and launchpad
[21:55] <holstein> i bet its https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[21:55] <bioterror> I'm going to lay my trust on you holstein ;)
[21:55] <holstein> or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[21:55] <holstein> bioterror: hehe
[21:56] <holstein> i was going to pin my hopes on you, and watch TV
[21:57] <bioterror> if you want to guess
[21:57] <bioterror> do lspci
[21:57] <bioterror> dont want
[22:01] <bethdo97> yes
[22:07] <bethdo97> i did lspci and it listed a bunch of stuff about drivers for various components No obvious errors that I can see
[22:08] <bethdo97> I know nothing about linux so please bear with me if I ask a bunch of questions.
[22:10] <holstein> bethdo97: lspci will tell you what hardware you have
[22:10] <holstein> and what i am proposing is that you have an nvidia or ati graphics card
[22:10] <holstein> that is not working properly without a proprietary driver
[22:10] <holstein> probaby nividia?
[22:11] <holstein> nvidia*
[22:11] <holstein> you could get the live CD back out
[22:11] <holstein> when you are at the first screen
[22:11] <holstein> hit F6
[22:11] <holstein> and there are options there
[22:11] <holstein> i believe the option is nomodeset
[22:12] <holstein> IF you get to the desktop by this method, this will help you trouble shoot the error
[22:12] <bethdo97> video controller: VGA compatible controller:Intel mobile 945GM/GMS 943/940ML Express Integrated graphics controller rev 03
[22:13] <holstein> drag, intel is usually out-of-the-box
[22:13] <holstein> so that doesnt not support my theory
[22:14] <holstein> does not*
[22:15] <holstein> bethdo97: i still think i would try and get to the desktop with the live cd
[22:15] <holstein> as a trouble-shooting step
[22:15] <geirha> Older intel cards have been working less and less since 8.10
[22:15] <holstein> geirha: interesting
[22:15] <holstein> geirha: is there a backport?
[22:15] <bethdo97> is there a way to fix it?
[22:15] <holstein> thats something bethdo97 could do easily
[22:16] <geirha> In particular because of the switch to dri2. The intel cards have support for that, but it had never actually been used ... so when it suddenly got used ... alot of hardware bugs where discovered
[22:16] <holstein> bethdo97: theres always a way to fix it :)
[22:16] <holstein> i would probably try a 10.04 live CD
[22:17] <geirha> I've given up on getting my laptop's intel card working on 10.04. I just use the vesa driver.
[22:17] <holstein> geirha: really?
[22:17] <holstein> too bad :/
[22:17] <holstein> geirha: how can bethdo97 force vesa at this point?
[22:17] <bethdo97> ok will download and retry.  Had someoone earlier suggest going to the netbook version instead of the desktop.
[22:17] <bethdo97> would you suggest that too
[22:17] <bioterror> holstein, sudo Xorg -configure, for the intel card?
[22:17] <holstein> bethdo97: nah, netbook wont matter
[22:18] <holstein> vesa will do it though
[22:18] <holstein> IF this is a graphics issue
[22:18] <holstein> and it sure seems like it is
[22:18] <holstein> you can always make a custom xorg.conf i suppose
[22:18] <holstein> geirha: is that how you do it?
[22:19] <geirha> holstein: I just wrote xorg.conf from scratch
[22:19] <holstein> bethdo97: thats really not too difficult
[22:19] <holstein> in theory
[22:19] <geirha> Hm. Or no, I think there was a failsafe-xorg.conf left from a previous ubuntu release, I just used that.
[22:20] <holstein> bethdo97: check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[22:20] <bethdo97> got a long list of video drivers
[22:20] <geirha> I think the wiki has a page on intel cards in particular
[22:20] <holstein> like bioterror says sudo Xorg -configure
[22:21] <geirha> !intel
[22:21] <ubot2> Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information.
[22:21] <holstein> then, you can edit that file and force the vesa driver
[22:21] <bioterror> I've got only bad experiences with vesa nowdays
[22:21] <geirha> Hm. No that's not the page I was thinking of.
[22:21] <bioterror> :/
[22:22] <holstein> i havent needed it since the openchome driver started mostly working for me :)
[22:23] <geirha> Oh, I just looked at that xorg.conf now. It's using fbdev. Could've swore it said vesa earlier.
[22:23] <geirha> But it's running stable with either.
[22:24] <geirha> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[22:25] <bethdo97> do I need to try and download the over 200 updates & securiity things it shows are needed?
[22:25] <holstein> hmmm
[22:25] <holstein> bethdo97: i probably would
[22:25] <holstein> maybe an update'll fix something
[22:25] <holstein> probably not though
[22:28] <bethdo97> no kernel mode setting driver detected is the only error I see
[22:44] <bethdo97> when I try to do updates I get  a something wicked happened resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com:http (-5- No addresses associated with host name) error
[22:45] <bethdo97> what does this mean
[22:47] <bethdo97> what does this mean's
[22:54] <bethdo97> it seems to be downloading a bunch of stuff
[22:54] <bethdo97> will it install automatically when it gets done?
[23:36] <poloFR> hello
[23:48] <Roydaman2> ok gotta good question for someone who has a minute to help out i just got an 8gig 4th gen itouch and only have zorin (ubuntu 10.06 i think) how do i get into the ipod to put the apps from my old one on this one?? i saved them through windows a while back at a friends
[23:48] <Roydaman2> and have them on a flash drive but i dunno what program he had
[23:53] <jon8> i accidently created a file called -test.tgz ------ Doing rm -rf '\-test.tgz' .. rm -rf "\-test.tgz" ... can't get this file removed.
[23:59] <johnny77> If I was choosing a Office suite would it be better to pick OpenOffice or LibreOffice? I know Libre is a fork of Open, but what is the direction each is heading?


[07:54] <Naeil> \o
[09:25] <praisethemoon_> o/
[09:40] <Naeil> \o
[09:40] <Naeil> how are ou praisethemoon_
[09:40] <praisethemoon_> i'm good man, what about you?
[09:43] <Naeil> good as well, ty
[09:43] <praisethemoon_> good to hear that
[09:43] <praisethemoon_> :D
[09:45] <Naeil> :D
[10:07] <elacheche> Go get a cloak praisethemoon it's not good to expose your IP on IRC :p
[10:07] <praisethemoon> elacheche: enlighten me
[10:10] <elacheche> an irc cloak is to "hide" your IP when you use this network.. You should go to #freenode and ask an op to cloak you.. So whenever you join using your login we can see this ~quassel@unaffiliated/praisethemoon instead of this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:10] <praisethemoon> omg ;-;
[10:10] <praisethemoon> raw ip
[10:10] <praisethemoon> alright
[10:11] <praisethemoon> elacheche: can you give me feed back on my WIP programming language? :3
[10:13] <elacheche> Euuh, why not, but I'm not a Software Eng or A Dev, I'm a SysAdmin, I'm a coder :D
[10:13] <elacheche> or scripter (whatever yo like to call me)
[10:13] <praisethemoon> i know
[10:13] <praisethemoon> i just thought you might now a bit of coding though xD
[10:14] <praisethemoon> i've never been a good sys admin
[10:14] <praisethemoon> not even to my own computer ;-;
[10:14] <elacheche> Emm.. Let's try :D It run on linux (I don't own other OS :p)
[10:15] <praisethemoon> oh no no, it does not run yet xD
[10:15] <praisethemoon> it's WIP
[10:15] <elacheche> Only Win? x)
[10:15] <praisethemoon> i wrote a spec doc
[10:15] <praisethemoon> it's gonna be cross platform
[10:15] <praisethemoon> but still in early dev stages
[10:15] <elacheche> I see
[10:16] <praisethemoon> you know what
[10:16] <praisethemoon> i'll let you know when I do something functional
[10:16] <praisethemoon> for now, I just have some docs
[10:16] <praisethemoon> Syntax, etc
[10:16] <praisethemoon> a one man's work
[10:16] <praisethemoon> :'(
[10:16] <elacheche> OK :) I'll be here when ever you need me :D
[10:17] <praisethemoon> thanks <3
[10:17] <elacheche> You're thinking about open sourcing it at some point?
[10:18] <praisethemoon> it is opensource ^^
[10:19] <praisethemoon> repo already on github
[10:19] <praisethemoon> https://github.com/praisethemoon
[10:20] <praisethemoon> that's my new github, my old one is https://github.com/sorakun/
[10:21] <elacheche> How you lang print a "hello world!" ? :D
[10:22] <elacheche> Oh! 4 lines to print hello world x)
[10:23] <elacheche> A dump question I always ask myself when I hear about a new lang.. And never had the opportunity to really ask it to a lang creator.. Why you started your own lang! @s²
[10:24] <elacheche> "@s²" didn't write this, it's a keyboard thig..
[10:24] <elacheche> thing*
[10:24] <praisethemoon> i know happens  xD
[10:25] <praisethemoon> so, about languages, each language has a different philosophy
[10:25] <elacheche> What's yours :D
[10:25] <praisethemoon> some believe in raw speed, others type safety, some numbers of line of code
[10:26] <praisethemoon> i main to create a language that is highlevel and fast
[10:26] <praisethemoon> you can say a faster java
[10:26] <praisethemoon> with a clean syntax
[10:26] <elacheche> And without a sh***y JVM x) :D  Did you abondoned the C version? So Berserk is a Lua based lang?
[10:26] <praisethemoon> i'll show you what I mean
[10:28] <praisethemoon> https://paste.kde.org/pvaeawlwi
[10:28] <praisethemoon> that's how modern C++ looks like
[10:28] <praisethemoon> and yes, I find lua a lot easier and at the same time, can be as fast as C :)
[10:29] <elacheche> I was planning to learn it.. I use AwesomeWM, it's Lua too, even it's config files are Lua..
[10:30] <praisethemoon> elacheche: have you heard of luajit?
[10:30] <elacheche> nope
[10:30] <praisethemoon> alright, luajit is a JIT for lua
[10:30] <praisethemoon> JIT is a just in time compiler
[10:30] <elacheche> Yes yes x) I find that I visited the webpage before x) no idea when x) x(
[10:30] <praisethemoon> means on compiles part of Lua VM bytecode into actual executables
[10:31] <praisethemoon> which makes it 100x faster
[10:31] <elacheche> Great!
[10:31] <elacheche> :D
[10:31] <praisethemoon> so give it a try!
[10:31] <praisethemoon> you lean lua by using it, it's not a big deal really
[10:32] <praisethemoon> and there is something unique about luajit, it's ability to use FFI (forign function interface?)
[10:32] <praisethemoon> means call C code
[10:32] <praisethemoon> like inside dll
[10:33] <praisethemoon> anyway, I'm sure it will be helpful, and that you will like it
[10:33] <elacheche> I'm trying to learn py3 and stop using bash for my scripts, in an other hand I'm trying to learn how to contribute to Linux (using C) .. I should start using lua as well..
[10:33] <praisethemoon> in that case, Lua & C
[10:34] <praisethemoon> Lua is written in ANSI C
[10:34] <praisethemoon> and far more portable then python
[10:34] <praisethemoon> much more compact
[10:34] <elacheche> praisethemoon: I read this "/* this is Modern C++11 */" and I think, I have no right to judge this code/person.. I even don't know the diff between C++1 or C++1 when I see it x(
[10:34] <praisethemoon> and faster
[10:34] <praisethemoon> well, C++11 changed some of the syntax
[10:35] <praisethemoon> and right, you see how wierd it is?
[10:36] <elacheche> yep
[10:37] <praisethemoon> so, consider Lua :3
[10:37] <praisethemoon> it lacks some high level constructs such as classes etc
[10:37] <praisethemoon> they can be implemented though
[10:37] <elacheche> Mich ittala3héli taw x)
[10:37] <praisethemoon> or rather simulated
[10:37] <praisethemoon> xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[10:38] <praisethemoon> YES YES
[10:38] <praisethemoon> JUST
[10:38] <praisethemoon> DO IT
[10:38] <elacheche> hahah x)
[10:38] <praisethemoon> YESTERDAY U SAID TOMORROW
[10:38] <praisethemoon> xD
[10:38] <elacheche> I'll start porting my py3 codinggame codes to lua and see how this will be
[10:39] <praisethemoon> awesome ;)
[10:39] <praisethemoon> let me know if u need anything, even though my lua proficiency is average
[10:40] <praisethemoon> and also #lua on freenode
[10:40] <elacheche> CG, HackedRank, Exercism is how I learn langs, I hate dev, so I try to just code some scripts for quizz and not engage myself in big projects (bp >= 2 files xD )
[10:41] <elacheche> I like to learn Haskell one day as well x) I don't know why, but I don't like to learn langs that everone else usually use x)
[10:42] <praisethemoon> elacheche: prepare to learn berserk then xDD
[10:43] <elacheche> Already thinking about it x)
[10:46] <praisethemoon> aww
[10:46]  * praisethemoon hugs elacheche
[10:48] <elacheche> :D
[10:51] <praisethemoon> elacheche: the frist language I wrote was 5 years ago, it generated C code and compiled it on the fly using TCC
[10:51] <praisethemoon> now TCC is very interesting
[10:52] <praisethemoon> it's a C Compiler; written in C
[10:52] <praisethemoon> so it's able to compile itself
[10:52] <praisethemoon> and, it allowed C to be used as a scripting language
[10:52] <praisethemoon> you can execute C code on the fly (that's why I used for my language)
[10:54] <elacheche> Interestng.. This is the 1st time to have a such chichat wwith someone ever!
[10:55] <elacheche> Salam amtn :)
[10:55] <amtn> elacheche: salam :)
[10:56] <amtn> j'ai bien reçu ton msg enregistré
[10:56] <elacheche> amtn: Tu m'as chérché hier soir! :)
[10:56] <elacheche> Hello nizarus!
[10:56] <amtn> Comment vas-tu?
[10:56] <amtn> ah oui..
[10:57] <nizarus> ahla elacheche
[10:57] <elacheche> Labess :) merci amtn :) How can I help you?
[10:57] <nizarus> bonjour @ tous
[10:57] <amtn> je me suis souvenu d'un dialoque consenant les serveur vps de chez ovh et le spam
[10:57]  * elacheche just ported his py3 to his 1st lua script and it works x)
[10:58] <amtn> nizarus: bonjour
[10:58] <elacheche> nizarus: We have an interesting discussion here about a new Open Source language developped by praisethemoon :D
[10:59] <elacheche> Yes amtn..
[10:59] <nizarus> un nouveau langage de programmation ?
[10:59] <amtn> c'etait il y a un bon moment.. j'ai aperçcu dernierement que des messages sont refusés chez msn, hotmail et live
[10:59] <amtn> les serveurs de microsoft
[10:59] <elacheche> yep
[10:59] <elacheche> yep nizarus
[11:00] <nizarus> Hmmm ! intéressant ! c'est quoi comme langage ?
[11:01] <elacheche> Ah!! Le DRBL de M$ c'est de l'enfer
[11:01] <elacheche> nizarus: https://github.com/praisethemoon/berserk-lua
[11:01] <amtn> elacheche: dans le net on decrit une methode longue et au gré du staf de microsoft
[11:01] <elacheche> amtn: On passe en privé :)
[11:02] <amtn> ok
[11:09] <nizarus> bon ! je vois pas comment ce langage réduit le temps de dev  mais bon...
[11:11] <elacheche> nizarus: praisethemoon talked about this here, ubuntulog_ should logged that x)
[12:48] <praisethemoon> GUESS WHOS BACK
[12:49] <praisethemoon> elacheche: thanks for sharing my language ^^
[12:49] <praisethemoon> that's very motivating :)
[12:50] <elacheche> :D
[12:50] <praisethemoon> sorry, was on lunch break
[12:50] <praisethemoon> elacheche: when I was young, I wrote a python IDE and I hit a run button called "lunch"
[12:51] <praisethemoon> so you can imagine the kind of feedback I had xD
[12:51] <elacheche> loool.. You were hungry?? :D :p
[12:51] <praisethemoon> "I hit a run" => "I had a run"
[12:51] <praisethemoon> i misspelled it :(
[12:51] <praisethemoon> so i guess i may have been xD
[12:51] <praisethemoon> that was .. 6 years ago
[12:51] <praisethemoon> maybe 7
[12:52] <elacheche> :D :D
[13:09] <praisethemoon> elacheche: are you at work?
[13:10] <elacheche> yep
[13:20] <developper> salut
[13:21] <elacheche> salut developper
[13:40] <praisethemoon> wow, a very interesting conversation xD
[13:44] <elacheche> :D
[15:26] <nizarus> ping elacheche :) enfin de retour sur diaspora :p
[15:32] <elacheche> nizarus: I check it every day :D But I need to check my twitter connection with it so I can really come back to it as a sharing source :D
[15:33] <elacheche> I have a "routine" bookmark,  I open it at least once a day.. D* is #1 in that bookmark list :)
[15:42] <praisethemoon> what is this
[15:51] <elacheche> D*?
[15:53] <elacheche> praisethemoon: https://diasp.org/i/3598faf4d636
[16:01]  * praisethemoon is making an account
[16:02] <elacheche> :D
[16:02] <praisethemoon> elacheche: ur not trying to hack me i hope
[16:02] <elacheche> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(social_network)
[16:02] <elacheche> Check wikipedia praisethemoon :)
[16:03] <praisethemoon> arghh
[16:03] <praisethemoon> distributed social network
[16:03] <elacheche> I don't own that server :) One day I'll host my own pod :)
[16:03] <praisethemoon> i always had the idea of developing such network
[16:03] <praisethemoon> :(
[16:03] <praisethemoon> idea taken xD
[16:03] <praisethemoon> elacheche: am an idea machine xD
[16:05] <elacheche> after having a contact with the FOSS community since 2009 and starting contirbuted by 2011 I know understand that if I have an idea so at least 1 person somewhere had it too.. So I need to make it real or he'll do..
[16:06] <elacheche> As I'm a lazy person, I prefered to let him do it than I just use it's foss project :D :p
[16:06] <praisethemoon> xDDDDDDDDDDD
[16:06] <praisethemoon> elacheche: I remember back in 2013 or 2014
[16:07] <praisethemoon> I was designing berserk, you know writing specs thinking about syntax and features
[16:07] <praisethemoon> and then Apple released Swift
[16:07] <praisethemoon> I was destroyed
[16:07] <elacheche> x)
[16:07] <praisethemoon> berserk code name was eve
[16:07] <praisethemoon> and swift's syntax was 80% eve
[16:08] <praisethemoon> ;-;
[16:08] <elacheche> Why you called it berserk, or eve?
[16:10] <praisethemoon> frankly, I went through a lot of names, i first called zen, then dreamcode, then wingcode, eve, ori, sky, lux, and many others xD
[16:10] <praisethemoon> but then I chose berserk, as a reference to dark souls, my fav game ^^
[16:22] <elacheche> :D
[16:25] <praisethemoon> elacheche: do you have anyother suggestions? XD
[16:26] <praisethemoon> pavlushka: ohayo o/
[16:26] <pavlushka> praisethemoon: ahoy o/
[16:27] <praisethemoon> pavlushka: how is it going?
[16:27] <elacheche> nope praisethemoon :D
[16:27] <praisethemoon> aww okay
[16:27] <praisethemoon> i know berserk is kinda a long time
[16:27] <praisethemoon> ;-;
[16:28] <pavlushka> praisethemoon: going nice, hello elacheche :)
[16:28] <elacheche> Hey pavlushka :)
[16:29] <praisethemoon> elacheche: have you learned lua yet?
[16:29] <nizarus> elacheche: tu passera la nuit au boulot ! les routes de Sousse sont coupées :p
[16:34] <elacheche> nizarus: lool x) Heureusemenet je n'ai plus de vespa x)
[16:35] <pavlushka> my latest samba update failed in installation :(
[16:35] <elacheche> chekc the logs pavlushka :)
[16:35] <elacheche> praisethemoon: I changed 2 CG puzzles from py3 to lua.. :D
[16:36] <praisethemoon> already? XD
[16:37] <elacheche> :D
[16:38] <elacheche> The 2 puzzles are mainly if else statement.. You can imagine how easy it was..
[16:38] <pavlushka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23251852/
[16:38] <elacheche> I learned that arrays are called tables in lua
[16:39] <elacheche> pavlushka: what log was that?
[16:39] <pavlushka> systemctl status smbd.service
[16:39] <praisethemoon> elacheche: i thought that was ur log
[16:39] <praisethemoon> i kept searching for lua code
[16:39] <praisethemoon> pavlushka trolled me
[16:39] <pavlushka> lol
[16:39] <praisethemoon> :(
[16:39]  * elacheche is happy to see a good discussion again in here.. What do you think nizarus :)
[16:39] <elacheche> lool praisethemoon x)
[16:40] <pavlushka> praisethemoon: where, how, when?
[16:40] <praisethemoon> now, lol
[16:40] <praisethemoon> I thought the paste was from elacheche and we were talking about lua xD
[16:40] <praisethemoon> so i kept looking for code ;-;
[16:40] <pavlushka> XD
[16:40] <praisethemoon> y u do dis
[16:41] <elacheche> pavlushka: share the outpur of this tail 1000 /var/log/samba/log. /var/log/apt/*.lo
[16:41]  * pavlushka is smiling raising his eye brows :p
[16:41] <praisethemoon> elacheche: well i'm enjoying talking with you guys frankly
[16:41] <elacheche> Same here praisethemoon :D
[16:41]  * praisethemoon <3
[16:42] <praisethemoon> SO
[16:42] <praisethemoon> about lua tables
[16:42] <praisethemoon> they are the most important features in lua
[16:42] <praisethemoon> they are used as maps
[16:42] <praisethemoon> t["troller"] = "pavlushka"
[16:42] <praisethemoon> they are used as name spaces math.abs = function(x) .. end
[16:43] <praisethemoon> they are used as object, better read a tutorial about that xD
[16:43] <praisethemoon> u can do a lot of things with them :)
[16:46] <elacheche> nice :D
[16:46] <elacheche> in py3 I like using dict and arrays
[16:49] <pavlushka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23251890/
[16:51] <elacheche> tail -1000 /var/log/samba/log. /var/log/apt/*.lo
[16:51] <elacheche> sorry

[16:54] <pavlushka> elacheche: tail -n 1000 may be :)
[16:55] <elacheche> pavlushka: tail 1000 works fine here :/
[16:55] <pavlushka> elacheche: you mean last 1000 lines, right?
[16:55] <elacheche> try that x)
[17:03]  * praisethemoon is going home now
[17:03] <praisethemoon> see ya later!
[17:07] <pavlushka> elacheche: he he http://paste.ubuntu.com/23252040/
[17:09] <elacheche> what's the output of "systemctl status smbd.service" and "journalctl -xe"
[17:10] <pavlushka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23251852/
[17:10] <pavlushka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23252051/
[17:11] <pavlushka> elacheche: now you know all my secrets :p
[17:12] <elacheche> I hate systemd, it makes debugguing harder :/
[17:13] <elacheche> pavlushka: try to: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
[17:13] <elacheche> x)
[17:28] <pavlushka> elacheche: to no avail :(
[17:56] <pavlushka> elacheche: reported two bugs :(
[18:21] <praisethemoon> GUESS WHOS BACK
[18:29] <pavlushka> you
[18:30] <pavlushka> elacheche: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/+bug/1629043, the package may be apport not whoopsie?
[18:59] <praisethemoon> pavlushka: wazzaup?
[19:00] <pavlushka> praisethemoon: me and you, elacheche may be down :p
[19:01] <praisethemoon> awww
[19:01] <praisethemoon> due to rain?
[19:01] <praisethemoon> XD
[19:03] <pavlushka> praisethemoon: hey I am not experiencing rain in my home town, are you?
[19:04] <praisethemoon> i'm Tunis, there is some standard rain here
[19:04] <praisethemoon> not really that much
[19:05] <praisethemoon> where is your hometown?
[19:06] <pavlushka> Its Panchagarh, Bangladesh :)
[19:33] <praisethemoon> pavlushka: oh boy :)
[19:34] <praisethemoon> hope we can have a cup of coffee and talk about ubuntu and the creation of the universe
[19:34] <pavlushka> praisethemoon: ha ha ha sure :) anytime :p
[19:35] <praisethemoon> have you been in tunisia?
[19:37] <pavlushka> My cousin toured Tunisia for BRAC I guess, She's not me :p
[19:38] <praisethemoon> aww
[19:38] <praisethemoon> alright
[19:51] <pavlushka> for elacheche , some more clue, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23252163/
[20:02] <elacheche> sorry pavlushka I was my way home and I have a server under attack.. I should concentrate on this :/
[20:03] <pavlushka> np :)
[20:03] <praisethemoon> elacheche: cant you counter attack? like get attackers' IP and attack them back
[20:03] <praisethemoon> maybe with some DDos
[20:03] <praisethemoon> ok i'm just saying random things xD
[20:03] <praisethemoon> i dont know much about security
[20:03] <praisethemoon> ;-;
[20:04] <elacheche> praisethemoon: I don't do illegal stuff O:-)
[20:04] <praisethemoon> oh
[20:04] <praisethemoon> you hit me hard man
[20:04] <praisethemoon> :(
[20:04] <praisethemoon> alright xD
[20:04]  * Chikore think that DDos attacks is not good..
[20:05] <elacheche> The problem I can't find a trace of the attacker on my server, the only thing clue I have until now was a mail from my hosting staff saying that someone was trying to ssh other machines from mine..

[12:39] <_furycd001> Used ubuntu netinstall to create a minimal xubuntu setup on my laptop. Wifi runs slow even though I'm pretty close to the router. Any ideas on how to speed up internet ??
[12:40] <_furycd001> Internet runs slow on normal ubuntu/xubuntu installs also. Laptop is an early 2009 macbook.
[13:44] <ericzhill> I've got an old Toshiba laptop that Xubuntu 32-bit installs and runs fine on.  The 64-bit live USB try-before-install works great, but installed 64-bit won't boot with a failure to find init.  Any thoughts?
[13:59] <pmjdebruijn> ericzhill: sounds very funky
[13:59] <pmjdebruijn> both on BIOS/CSM not UEFI?
[13:59] <ericzhill> Yes, machine is too old for UEFI.
[14:00] <pmjdebruijn> does it properly support 64bit?
[14:00] <pmjdebruijn> is there anything like dual boot going on, that might complicate things?
[14:00] <ericzhill> The processor datasheet says it supports 64-bit, but I'm not sure how to tell.  The live 64-bit works great.
[14:01] <pmjdebruijn> well if the live cd works, it should be fine I guess
[14:01] <pmjdebruijn> but then again, do you have anything like dual boot?
[14:01] <ericzhill> No dual-boot.  I've flattened and reinstalled about 6 times, with and without LVM to see if that made a difference.
[14:01] <pmjdebruijn> did you reformat the partition before reinstalling?
[14:01] <pmjdebruijn> oh
[14:01] <ericzhill> Yes, wiped the partition clean and repartitioned.  No luck.
[14:01] <pmjdebruijn> with simple MBR paritioning?
[14:02] <ericzhill> I'm not sure what the "automatic" does, but I manually tried GPT and MBR partitioning with the same results.
[14:02] <pmjdebruijn> something like sda1 /boot ext4 2GB; sda2 swap swap 4GB; sda3 / ext4 20GB; sda4 /home ext4 *GB ???
[14:02] <pmjdebruijn> ericzhill: GPT is mostly intended for UEFI (not entirely true, but for most practical purposes it is)
[14:03] <ericzhill> Current partition setup is sda1 /boot ext2 1GB; sda2 / ext4 300GB; sda3 swap
[14:04] <ericzhill> I did double-check the disk UUID matches with /etc/fstab.  I saw some posts on AskUbuntu that indicated those might not match correctly.
[14:04] <pmjdebruijn> can you post an actual screenshot (via phone??) somewhere, where we cna see the entire sccreen?
[14:05] <pmjdebruijn> message context might give us a clue
[14:05] <pmjdebruijn> which xubuntu version btw? 16.04.1?
[14:05] <ericzhill> I'm in a meeting for another hour or so, then yes, screenshots inbound.  Xubuntu 16.04.1
[14:44] <ericzhill> Picture of the panic: https://goo.gl/photos/NcQjyETGuLSro3La6
[14:45] <ericzhill> pmjdebruijn: I can get you a video if that would help, but not much scrolled past before that screen.
[14:47] <pmjdebruijn> that's incredibly funky
[14:48] <pmjdebruijn> especially found /bin/sh but couldn't execute it
[14:48] <pmjdebruijn> I would boot a live cd, mount the partition and check if the files are okay
[14:48] <pmjdebruijn> ericzhill: if you in a chroot, you can apt a tool called debsums, which you can then use to verify all the files are okay
[14:48] <ericzhill> Booting into live now.
[14:53] <ericzhill> debsums is trawling through files at this point.  All ok.
[14:53] <ericzhill> (So far)
[14:53] <pmjdebruijn> can you do
[14:53] <pmjdebruijn> file /sbin/init
[14:54] <pmjdebruijn> file /bin/sh
[14:54] <pmjdebruijn> see if they are proper 64bit binaries
[14:55] <ericzhill> file /sbin/init -> symlink to systemd -> ELF 64-bit
[14:55] <ericzhill> file /bin/sh -> symlink to dash -> ELF 64-bit
[14:57] <pmjdebruijn> sounds good
[14:58] <ericzhill> Just deleted all the partitions, and created a new msdos partition table with parted.  Going to try the install again....  This can't be that complicated.  Right?
[16:19] <Artemis3> ericzhill, did you run memtest on that laptop?
[16:25] <ericzhill> No.  I'll try that shortly.
[16:26] <Artemis3> first thing to do when seeing kernel panics
[16:27] <ericzhill> Even though 32-bit works great and the 64-bit live works?
[16:27] <Artemis3> you never know...
[16:27] <Artemis3> bad ram lurking could be the problem
[16:28] <ericzhill> Fair enough.  I'll get memtest started and let it run for a while.
[17:29] <jones641> Hello everyone!
[17:32] <jones641> Anybody know how to tell lightdm not to turn of my screen when locking the computer?
[17:52] <xangua> Did you try light locker settings? (Last tab in power settings) jones641
[18:14] <jones641> @xangua yes, but that only gives me the option to tell it when to lock it, but nothing on screen poweroff
[18:42] <ericzhill> FWIW, memtest went fine.  I'm starting to think this machine is allergic to 64-bit anything.  Ubuntu 64-bit won't boot, live or otherwise.
[20:13] <ericzhill> Follow up - mint 64-bit installed and boots fine.  Can't get live Ubuntu 64-bit to boot.  64-bit Xubuntu boots fine but won't boot after install on HDD. <shrugs>
[20:58] <glitchd> can someone please help me figure out how to disable the feature pinch to zoom? its driving me nuts, every 'time i try to scroll with 2 fingers it zooms the screen
