[11:19]  * XATRIX somokes a bit lot...
[11:20]  * jonesn420 joins XATRIX from probably a continent or country away
[11:20]  * jonesn420 runs out already. he says "damn i only had a bug"
[11:20] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX:Hi
[11:21] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, helo
[11:21] <jonesn420> alright im done bullshittin
[11:21] <jonesn420> peace
[11:21] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX:how to prevent the gvfsd-http from connecting to internet ?
[11:23] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport PORT_THAT_USES_gvfsd_http -j REJECT
[11:23] <Maccer> Where can I speak to ubuntu developers or package maintainers?
[11:23] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX: what is this dear ?
[11:23] <XATRIX> Maccer, it's a DDAY dude... what are you talking about :)
[11:23] <Maccer> XATRIX. :-(
[11:24] <jussi> Maccer: probably #ubuntu-devel - but be very polite, they are extremely busy
[11:24] <Maccer> jussi: Thank you.
[11:24] <cousteau> Ann-Mariya, 2012
[11:24] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, It's a firewall command to deny network access of gvfsd
[11:25] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX:iptables v1.4.12: invalid port/service `PORT_THAT_USES_gvfsd_http' specified
[11:25] <Ann-Mariya> Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
[11:25] <Ann-Mariya> This is what I got
[11:25] <Snurre86> I installed det aditional beta driver from nvidia and the pc diden't boot so i typed "sudo apt-get --pure remove nvidia-*" but i want to install another beta driver i know works. But it don't looks as if it is completely uinstalled
[11:26] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, ofcource... PORT_THAT... is a thing you have to change on the real value
[11:27] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, are you really using network shares through the internet ?
[11:28] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX: plz 4ward the actual command...u know ladies are not gud in computers
[11:29] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, I just use internet to browse and chat !!!
[11:30] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, ok, let's do it from the start. Why do you want to block it ? :)
[11:30] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, It slows down my internet
[11:31] <XATRIX> Can you give me the output of: sudo netstat -tup | grep gvfsd
[11:31] <xatr0z> XATRIX: i dont like your nick, my hilight goes nuts :P:P
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> Ann-Mariya  please don't say 4ward and gud, better use the actual words
[11:31] <XATRIX> :)
[11:32] <XATRIX> MonkeyDust, don't buy computers for the ladies next time ;)
[11:33] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, terminal doesn't gave any o/p
[11:33] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, you have to do it from root account !
[11:33] <Ann-Mariya> k
[11:34] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, the same
[11:34] <XATRIX> Can you give me the output of: sudo netstat -tup
[11:35] <XATRIX> Any ESTABLISHED connections from gvfsd ?
[11:35] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, let me notify that this time my firewall shows that, gvfsd-http is not connected
[11:35] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, block it with your firewall - the simpliest way
[11:35] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, I am using firestarter
[11:36] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, no idea what is it :)
[11:36] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, well how can I block it ?
[11:38] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, Can you do it with your firewall ?
[11:38] <XATRIX> By the way , are you from India ?
[11:38] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, no option for that
[11:38] <XATRIX> Should be , any firewall must have this option to
[11:39] <ironhalik> When hibernating, swap partition has to be equal or larger then my RAM size?
[11:39] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX,k . u have been most helpful
[11:39] <MonkeyDust> ironhalik  better larger
[11:40] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, you can also try to find the executable with : locate gvfsd-http and remove it , if you don't use the network shares
[11:40] <ironhalik> MonkeyDust: can I hibernate with a swap file? I would need to repartition my ssd after latest upgrade
[11:40] <SkyRocknRoll> Hi
[11:40] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, what is this n/w share, i don't understand
[11:41] <SkyRocknRoll> There is a hot debate going on in my office now regarding which os ( ubuntu or debian ) should be used in our new server ?
[11:41] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, Ubuntu has some functionality to share files, or whatever media between people over internet... If you don't use it, you don't need gvfs
[11:41] <ironhalik> Wikimedia runs on ubuntu :)
[11:41] <SkyRocknRoll> any point to support for ubuntu  i will appreciate :)
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> ironhalik  i have not enough ewperience with hibernation, to know such things
[11:42] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, well i don't need it
[11:42] <fidel_> SkyRocknRoll: this channel is offering technical support - not propaganda
[11:42] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, remove it ;)
[11:42] <fidel_> ;)
[11:42] <ironhalik> MonkeyDust: Nevermind. I'll check the docs, I think there was something there about it.
[11:42] <sw> SkyRocknRoll It doesn't work like that, you use whatever is best for the organisation, depending on your requirements. This isn't a debate room, people here will tend to use Ubuntu, for obvious reasons.
[11:42] <Ann-Mariya> XATRIX, let me show the command
[11:43] <SkyRocknRoll> my opponent who is recommending debian says only this point " Debian is used by lot of guys"
[11:43] <ss_> hello! I've done terrible things :). I've been trying to the nvidia drivers working on ubuntu (I was trying to run a game and it was running very slowly and i assumed this was due to incorrect graphics drivers). I went to the update centre and went to software sources, additional drivers and chose an nvidia driver
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> SkyRocknRoll  wrong channel
[11:44] <sw> SkyRocknRoll You're not up against much then. Again, this is the wrong channel - try ##linux.
[11:44]  * SkyRocknRoll going to linux channel
[11:44] <ss_> i restarted X (logged out)... nothing seemed to change visually but now the game segfaulted! ok. So I tried playing around with the nvidia-settings commands, specifically i ran nvidia-settings which started with a dialogue box suggesting i run nvidia-xconfig
[11:45] <ss_> i proceeded to run nvidia-xconfig, on an initial x restart, black screen, no output whatsoever, after that i restarted the machine and now im stuck in 640x480 :D
[11:45] <XATRIX> Ann-Mariya, dpkg -S gvfsd-http - show me the output
[11:45] <ss_> halp?
[11:47] <ss_> brb, gonna try reverting to the original x.org drivers
[11:47] <ss_> is there a way to... completely reinstall X? I have a feeling this is all down to some duff xorg settings
[11:47] <ss_> is there a way to revert/reinstall xorg?
[11:51] <Froward> kill
[11:54] <gaussblurinc> hi!
[11:55] <gaussblurinc> i want to write an application, that would use Oauth on JS for linux system family. How should i share this with others?
[11:55] <Nick-Black-92829> Hi!
[11:56] <gaussblurinc> So, i mean, that this application would use it's own appKey. is it normal? it will be open as source js-code.
[12:00] <bdi_> Hello, i have inserted my SD card from my camera into my computer running ubuntu 12.10 desktop. However when i do that i get: Unable to mount EOS_DIGITAL: Error mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 at /media/bdi/EOS_DIGITAL: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/mmcblk0p1" "/media/bdi/EOS_DIGITAL"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'
[12:00] <bdi_> Is there any way to mount this?
[12:00] <seudo_tw>  /j #python.tw
[12:01] <POVaddct> bdi_: afaik there is no exfat support in linux yet
[12:01] <tomreyn> bdi_: exfat is indeed not a known file system type
[12:02] <bdi_> ahh got it fixed
[12:02] <bdi_> hmm maybe not
[12:04] <tomreyn> bdi_: there's a fuse module for exfat, thoughj
[12:04] <POVaddct> bdi_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT
[12:04] <bdi_> yeah i got it working
[12:05] <tomreyn> http://superuser.com/questions/436368/how-to-open-exfat-ssd-in-ubuntu-12-04
[12:05] <POVaddct> patented, proprietary sh*t
[12:06] <gaussblurinc> offtopic: maybe somebody know a skype-dev channel?
[12:06] <tomreyn> i think there is #microsoft
[12:06] <bdi_> but damn its slow
[12:07] <gaussblurinc> tomreyn: thanks, will search
[12:07] <casualX>  hi there! can someone give me a advice how to create a xorg.conf file for a livecd at system startup or a workaround for starting X without xorg.conf and nvidia drivers?
[12:07] <gaussblurinc> and how about security in Oauth and applicationKey? if it is an open source?
[12:07] <POVaddct> bdi_: complain to M$ for making exfat undocumented, proprietary and patented
[12:08] <bdi_> POVaddct, ohh its crappy M$ FS
[12:08] <Saxon> hello,every body
[12:08] <Touhou11> POVaddct: True, it took several years before NTFS was in a usable state from Linux
[12:08] <gaussblurinc> hello
[12:08] <bdi_> POVaddct, you cant expect anything else from M$ or Apple
[12:08] <tomreyn> casualX: your question sounds like you want to find out http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/how-can-i-uninstall-a-nvidia-driver-completely
[12:08] <POVaddct> Touhou11: the same will happen with exfat. plus it is patented.
[12:09] <bdi_> POVaddct, i really like M$ more than i like Apple though...Apple is #1 disgusting
[12:10] <POVaddct> bdi_: hehe
[12:10] <casualX> thx tomreyn but nouveau seems not to work too...even the vesa driver seems not to work
[12:12] <Nick-Black-92829> Hello there
[12:12] <casualX> tomreyn I creat my livecd from scratch for a study project so I need to find a way to create a xorg.conf when starting it up...I allready tried doing it by system service with X -configue and then copy to /etc/X11/ but it failed cause my service script could create any file
[12:17] <tomreyn> casualX: "it failed cause my service script could create any file" doesn't make much sense to me. why does the initskript fail due to being able to create files?
[12:18] <XATRIX> Any grub configurator for ubuntu ?
[12:18] <tomreyn> XATRIX: there is update-grub
[12:18] <XATRIX> grub2 is hard as hell, like C++ coding
[12:18] <Nick-Black-92829>  /who *cadena*
[12:19] <XATRIX> tomreyn, update-grub or update-grub2 ?
[12:19] <Touhou11> grub2 is fairly simple to understand, just read the manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
[12:20] <tomreyn> XATRIX: $ ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub2
[12:20] <tomreyn> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Okt 14 19:37 /usr/sbin/update-grub2 -> update-grub
[12:20] <XATRIX> right
[12:20] <XATRIX> tomreyn, i mean, i installed kernel binary
[12:20] <XATRIX> How can i configure grub menu
[12:21] <XATRIX> To manually setup the order of entries
[12:21] <tomreyn> XATRIX: you optionally edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub
[12:22] <casualX> tomreyn I thought maybee its not possible but I think its just my mistake. here is my scrip which runs well when I do it /etc/init.d/ after login from console but not from startup...youre my great saver today if you can help me fix it http://pastebin.com/FvGLBkj0
[12:24] <tomreyn> XATRIX: to manually change the order of entries and not have them overwritten automatically on next kernel update / removal you will need to adjust the names of files in /etc/grub.d/
[12:24] <elfer> -.o
[12:24] <tomreyn> XATRIX: it may be better to just set the # of the default entry in /etc/default/grub though
[12:25] <XATRIX> ok,, let's go another way
[12:25] <XATRIX> give me a sec
[12:25] <wilfredor> hi
[12:25] <proyecto_> Buen día
[12:25] <wilfredor> I'm looking for a free software solution for around 30,000 phones with different architectures, from call centers (pbx) to mobile phones
[12:26] <erncic> wilfredor: asterisk
[12:27] <tomreyn> casualX: did you create this based on some template? where is this script stored, how is it invoked on boot?
[12:27] <heideggermartin> Hello!
[12:28] <wilfredor> Asterisk is a virtual pbx but We have a fisical pbxs erncic
[12:28] <XATRIX> tomreyn, http://hastebin.com/rakusodanu.vhdl
[12:28] <XATRIX> That's what i currently have
[12:28] <elfer> haste?
[12:28] <XATRIX> I need to enable pf-kernel
[12:29] <tomreyn> wilfredor: your question is pretty surely out of the scope of this channel
[12:29] <tomreyn> !ot | wilfredor
[12:29] <heideggermartin> I am trying to get a server running on https:// and if I generate .ssh files for it then my client complains because the ssh key for that domain is different on ssh and https
[12:29] <elfer> no
[12:29] <elfer> someone answer his question =p
[12:29] <wilfredor> tomreyn: I forget, ubuntu is not gnu/linux
[12:30] <muelli> heideggermartin: can you provide a screeshot or an error message?
[12:30] <heideggermartin> uhm ... Error: SSL Error: DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT
[12:30] <elfer> i have questions, but i wont ask until later...
[12:31] <casualX> tomreyin yes i did this by a general template...the script is stored in /etc/init.d/ by the way i dont use upstart I use openrc...after creation i runned rc-update add <script> name...I can see the output on the monitor but It not create the file /root/xorg.conf.new...after when I logged in I can successfully start it with /etc/init,d/<scriptname> start and then it does his job :)
[12:31] <elfer> need a cat nap soon
[12:31] <heideggermartin> well: I want to make sure that the https uses the same key as the ssh shell to avoid running into other errors so I wondered where the cert and key files for ssh are hosted by default on ubuntu
[12:32] <heideggermartin> (as you can see above its a rather non-saying error of my command line tool in running in node)
[12:33] <muelli> heideggermartin: what client are you using?
[12:33] <muelli> heideggermartin: the sshd keys are somewhere in /etc/ssh/
[12:33] <tomreyn> XATRIX: as per /etc/grub.d/41_custom you can create a file /etc/boot/grub/custom.cfg which will have just the kernel stanza you wish to show up in grub menu in it.
[12:34] <tomreyn> XATRIX: alternatively you can place it in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[12:34] <heideggermartin> muelli: I have found tons of ssh keys in /etc/ssh/certs but I don't know which are used for the ssh command (I use mac/node/browser)
[12:34] <heideggermartin> (client)
[12:35] <tomreyn> XATRIX: then run update-grub again and set default to the # of the kernel stanza in grub.cfg
[12:35] <XATRIX> tomreyn, Sure but where should i edit paths to the kernel ? I wouldn't like to parse ton of a code :)
[12:35] <XATRIX> Also, i have no grub menu during startup...
[12:35] <muelli> heideggermartin: I have a weird feeling about your problem so I ask stupid questions. So you are using the OpenSSH ssh client? On the command line?
[12:35] <tomreyn> XATRIX: hold down shift at boot to make grub menu load
[12:36] <XATRIX> Oh
[12:36] <XATRIX> Didn't know about this
[12:36] <heideggermartin> muelli: yes i used the standard command line client.
[12:36] <tomreyn> XATRIX: you don't need to parse any code, you can put the plain kernel stanzs into one of the files
[12:36] <muelli> heideggermartin: and can you pastebin your terminal session, including the program you call and how it returns?
[12:37] <XATRIX> kernel stanzs = kernel images paths ?
[12:37] <heideggermartin> muelli: the client is part of the problem, but not one I can change ;)
[12:38] <heideggermartin> muelli: As far as I can tell its possible to register different known_host ssh certificates for different ports
[12:38] <tomreyn> XATRIX: kernel stanza =  a "menuentry" section, as found in your existing /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[12:38] <muelli> so, are you going to post a full transcript of you calling ssh?
[12:39] <heideggermartin> muelli: ssh <user>@<myserver>
[12:39] <heideggermartin> (client)
[12:39] <muelli> no
[12:39] <muelli> pastebin the contents of your terminal. Or use "script" and upload the file.
[12:40] <XATRIX> tomreyn, wait. If i reboot my box and hold down shift during startup, will it automatically add my new kernel to the list of kernels available to boot to ?
[12:40] <XATRIX> Or i have to manually write something into the config file
[12:42] <tomreyn> XATRIX: since the kernel image you want to try to boot is not a standard ubuntu image, you need to manually add a menuentry { } section referencing the kernel image and initrd to /etc/boot/grub/custom.cfg or /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[12:43] <XATRIX> Crap
[12:43] <tomreyn> ?
[12:46] <tomreyn> XATRIX: did you build this kernel image yourself, or did you find it somewhere? it's a bit of a dangerous situation that you would want to setup a custom kernel but know little about how grub works on ubuntu.
[12:47] <XATRIX> tomreyn, I'm quite experienced in building custom kernels, i did gentoo for about 7 years :) The trouble is that grub2 is quite a bit complicated than grub, and i would not like to dig into the script-code :)
[12:48] <XATRIX> I know how bootloader works, i also used lilo bootloaders, but grub2 confuses me as hell :)
[12:48] <tomreyn> heinrich5991: /etc/ssh/certs is not a standard location on ubuntu, as far as i know. what is stored in there, what placed it there (if you know), and what is its purpose (if you know)
[12:48] <XATRIX> Also it's not a hand-made kernel, i downloaded it from the http://pf.natalenko.name/binaries/ubuntu/
[12:48] <tomreyn> sorry heinrich5991, this was supposed to go to heideggermartin
[12:49] <heideggermartin> muelli: https://gist.github.com/70fd2abf55e78724285d
[12:49] <heideggermartin> muelli: I am not sure this tells you anything.
[12:49] <muelli> heideggermartin: well. So why do you see SSH being a problem? it's "npm" that fails, right?
[12:50] <heideggermartin> muelli: This is my custom npm server ... running on ubuntu
[12:50] <Ogreman> test
[12:50] <muelli> so?
[12:50] <heideggermartin> muelli: that has a different ssh key than the ssh service on the server
[12:50] <muelli> heideggermartin: I don't see SSH in the problem space at all.
[12:50] <muelli> heideggermartin: the problem I see is that "GET" fails due to SSL things.
[12:51] <root> salut
[12:51] <heideggermartin> muelli: it fails imho because the server is not part of the known_hosts
[12:51] <casualX> have a nice day folks
[12:51] <Guest84894> Comment ça va
[12:51] <muelli> heideggermartin: how do you know that?
[12:51] <muelli> heideggermartin: I see the problem is clearly mentioned: zero depth certificate. That's obviously the SSL certificate
[12:51] <muelli> from the HTTPd that is
[12:52] <heideggermartin> muelli: its a common failure if you have try to access a uncertified secure domain
[12:53] <heideggermartin> muelli: it also says in the error SELF_SIGNED_CERT which you usually have to certify with a [YES/no] question
[12:53] <heideggermartin> muelli: that is not available in npm
[12:54] <YokoBR> guys, plz, i can't understand what's happening. I had Ubuntu Server 10.04, but then i switched to 12.04. Now i've installed postfix, but i can only send some kind of mail with php. I mean, when an unser registers, it doesn't send him a mail. But when he do the first login, it does.
[12:54] <heideggermartin> muelli: to make sure I made no other mistake I want to try to take the same ssh key in my npm server as I have in the ssh service(server)
[12:54] <muelli> heideggermartin: *shrug* anyway, so far, that doesn't look like anything SSH related at all to me.
[12:55] <muelli> heideggermartin: it looks like you only need to convince npm to trust the certificate that your httpd sends out. No idea how to do that though. But that's a npm specific problem.
[12:56] <heideggermartin> muelli: I am right now wondering if I write proper english (its not my mother tongue)
[12:57] <heideggermartin> muelli: To be as clear as I can: I have the feeling that I can solve this problem if I have the same .ssh key for both services (SSH and HTTPS). The https service is installed by me and the ssh service is out-of-the-box.
[12:57] <muelli> heideggermartin: no
[12:58] <heideggermartin> muelli: So I am asking if someone knows which .ssh key and cert file is used in the default ssh service of ubuntu.
[12:58] <muelli> heideggermartin: again, I am very surprised to see you seeing anything SSH related in there. The output you provided has no indication whatsoever for anything related to SSH. Not a single hint. It's all HTTPS.
[12:58] <heideggermartin> muelli: You are not answering my question.
[12:59] <muelli> heideggermartin: look in /etc/ssh/. But you won't find anything to solve your problem there. SSH is *not related* to your problem. *Why* would it be? There is not a single technical reason.
[12:59] <muelli> heideggermartin: I am. And I am doing that although I believe your questions are bad.
[13:00] <muelli> heideggermartin: The SSHd key is in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key. But that doesn't buy you anything.
[13:00] <root__> 10200
[13:00] <heideggermartin> muelli: Thank you, do you know which the cert key is?
[13:00] <heideggermartin> muelli: sorry, cert pem file
[13:01] <muelli> heideggermartin: the problem is, your question don't make much sense. And that is, I believe, because you don't understand enough of the technical side of things.
[13:01] <muelli> i.e. SSHd doesn't work with PEM encoded files.
[13:01] <joey8> !patience > heideggermartin
[13:02] <tomreyn> heideggermartin: are you mixing up SSL and SSH by chance? "certificate" often refers to X.509. SSH doesn't use "certificates". sure, both openssl and openssh work with key pairs, often RSA key pairs, but they store and use them very differently.
[13:02] <muelli> heideggermartin: so if you want your problem to be solved, don't focus on ssh. Focus on npm and how to make it accept a certificate of your liking.
[13:04] <heideggermartin> tomreyn: That they store those files differently is unfortunate.
[13:04] <tomreyn> heideggermartin: why so?
[13:04] <mimi> No problem as such, but would like to ask for some advice please? ..Can Win8 be run successfully in Virtual Box from within Ubuntu? All I need windows for is itunes
[13:04] <heideggermartin> In the couchdb that runs on the server I have the possiblity to define the key/cert pem file for the https communication.
[13:04] <muelli> Sure it is. But it's only 2012. We have yet to reach a state in which we can do PKI properly.
[13:05] <muelli> mimi: guess so.
[13:05] <mimi> muelli: doesn't sound like you've tried it? :)
[13:06] <muelli> muelli: correct. But I don't see a reason why it would not work. Plus: it's easy to test, no?
[13:06] <mimi> I would normally run a dual boot system, but don't know if I can be bothered to go through the hassle (yet again)
[13:06] <tomreyn> mimi: it does provide a windows 8 profile. and windows 8 boots up fine in a virtualbox VM on a ubuntu 12.10 host. video acceleration doesn't work for me, but that's porobably not a concern for you.
[13:06] <heideggermartin> As far as I can tell: npm (like git) uses the known_hosts file on mac to accept uncertified urls
[13:06] <muelli> heideggermartin: how do you know?
[13:07] <mimi> tomreyn,  ...thanks. No, I don't think it would be a concern. I use linux most of the time, and only windows for itunes.
[13:07] <muelli> heideggermartin: that is very very likely to only apply for SSH. But you *don't* try to make a connection via SSH. But rather HTTPS.
[13:07] <mimi> I've never tried virtual box ...am running linux at the moment from live usb
[13:07] <tomreyn> mimi: i guess you'll be fine then.
[13:08] <mimi> tomreyn, thanks. once Virtual box is running in Ubuntu, is windows just installed as per normal ...within virtual box?
[13:09] <heideggermartin> muelli: Not much i can say to that ...
[13:10] <mimi> thanks ....'night. ...
[13:11] <LTF> Hi, do u know how can I locate a script which runs afert login?, I only can see the echo exit to search it by it
[13:11] <LTF> im trying find / | xargs grep ´word´
[13:11] <LTF> without success
[13:16] <Lorra> Hi everybody! I'm running ubuntu 12.04
[13:16] <tomreyn> LTF: can you post the output you get after logging in (including the login/password prompt) to paste.ubuntu.com?
[13:17] <Lorra> .1 with the beautiful Enlightenment 17 window manager and I would like to use connman which is the default network manager for it or as second choice network-manager in the tray. Does anybody know how to accomplish either of those?
[13:18] <MarcN> I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 but want to upgrade to x86_64 in order for KVM to support x86_64 VMs. Is that simply a matter of installing a different kernel package?
[13:21] <tomreyn> MarcN: if you installed a 32 bit ubuntu so far, then you should reinstall to switch to the 64 bit architecture.
[13:21] <DJones> MarcN: Have you installed 32 bit originally? If so, you can't upgrade to 64 bit, you have to do a fresh install
[13:21] <LTF> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1454691/ i transcripted it because i cant copy from that console,the scripts takes the bash returns login when exiting the script
[13:22] <the_dark_knight> hi, Is there any comman to see the performance of opening a url say 100 times. I have a url localhost/test.php. I want to send request to open this url 100times maybe more. Is there any command in shell to do that?
[13:22] <LTF> its in session without X tomreyn
[13:22] <tomreyn> LTF: and you want to get rid of the "Ingrese ai si quiere restaurar la imagen de Ax o f123 si quiere restaurarla de f123" message?
[13:23] <Lorra> the_dark_knight, you may get the contents at that url by using curl <your_url>
[13:23] <LTF> tomreyn: no,I want the code,i want to locate it
[13:23] <heideggermartin> muelli: I solved it with help from nodejs community. Thanks a lot!
[13:23] <LTF> tomreyn:  to modify
[13:23] <muelli> heideggermartin: :)
[13:24] <heideggermartin> muelli: Half-knowledge is a grudge
[13:24] <MarcN> DJones, tomreyn - If I wipe and install Ubuntu Server, surely I can install ubuntu-desktop (or whatever) to get all the GUI goodness, right?  My goal is to run KVM + OpenStack and be able to host x86_64 VMs  (like Ubuntu Server which is x86_64 only).  Just to kick the tires.
[13:24] <tomreyn> the_dark_knight: you want to look into httpd bench marking.
[13:24] <muelli> heideggermartin: bonus points if you mention briefly how to solve it so that people in the future can read these archived IRC logs.
[13:24] <alexxxxxa> Can somebody help me to set correctly  /etc/network/interfaces ?
[13:24] <Lorra> the_dark_knight, you can repeat that command in a loop, when you invoke curl it gives also some statistics before outputting the result, you may extract them from the output of the command and then use them to do whatever you want
[13:24] <alexxxxxa> I'm having problems with my wireless
[13:24] <compdoc> MarcN, yes, thats easy to do
[13:24] <heideggermartin> :muelli: sure: npm set strict-ssl false
[13:25] <tomreyn> LTF: the code which does what exactly?
[13:25] <alexxxxxa> disabling ipv6 didn't work :(
[13:25] <fellipe> hi. I am running 12.04 server and I have two interfaces with two internet links, and I have multipath rules. So I can switch between the links at anytime. But, I set dns-nameservers in each of interface configuration block, and the dns resolution is toooooo slow. I thought the kernel would query the proper dns wich belongs to that link of that specific interface. So how to solve it?
[13:25] <LTF> tomreyn: restores a cloned image
[13:25] <MarcN> compdoc, thought so, just wanted to verify before wiping the lappy...
[13:26] <SirJ> fgsdgsdgsdgsdg
[13:26] <SirJ> sdgsdgsdg
[13:27] <elfer> lol
[13:27] <compdoc> MarcN, install server and select LAMP, and ssh, and whatever else you need. And I can give you the command to install a minimal desktop
[13:27] <tomreyn> LTF: umm, now you lost me. none of this output you posted to pastebin is related to a process which "restores a cloned image" of something.
[13:27] <SirJ> Все америкосы вафлёры
[13:28] <LTF> tomreyn: no,its only the output,its asks u what image u wanna restore
[13:28] <bba56> I am using chrome Version 23.0.1271.97 and each time i click on any link a pop up winodw appears forn this site ad6media.fr
[13:29] <Mukhthar> hello all
[13:29] <Mukhthar> should i delete the id_rsa & id_rsa.pub file after adding the id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys
[13:29] <MarcN> compdoc, no worries, I'm a long, long time Ubuntu user, but wanted to test my plan before starting....
[13:30] <smartracer> i need a help.my brother stopped ubuntu while its upgrading.now ubuntu is not loading
[13:30] <muelli> smartracer: how do you know it's "not loading"?
[13:30] <smartracer> i tried recovery mode but keyboard is not working.when i enter recovery mode
[13:31] <tomreyn> LTF: please sum up again what you are trying to accomplish, how you have tried to do it so far and how it is not working out. so far you were talking about searching all files for some text to find some script, mentioned that something outputs something undesirable when you login, and about images which are retored. i do not understand how to this goes together.
[13:31] <smartracer> i entered the ubuntu and screen freezes
[13:31] <[awall]> .sh ps|grep perl|wc -l <-- command for what?
[13:32] <tomreyn> [awall]: .sh is not a knwon command on a default ubuntu installation.
[13:33] <[awall]> ps|grep perl|wc -l ?
[13:33] <[awall]> command for?
[13:33] <Lorra> smartracer, you can use the cd/dvd/usb key you installed ubuntu from in "livecd" mode, copy the files you care about (tipically the contents of the /home directory) somewhere safe and perform a clean install, it doesn't take much
[13:33] <smartracer> screen freezzes its not loading what to do?
[13:34] <Lorra> smartracer, (the clean install doesn't take much, I don't know about copying your files)
[13:34] <smartracer> how can i do package repair throu command line at start up
[13:34] <tomreyn> [awall]: # of running processes, owned by the current user, which contain the string "perl"
[13:34] <tomreyn> [awall]: possibly +1
[13:34] <LTF> tomreyn: no, after i login with an specific user an script is executed,the script only shows a text giving me two options, if i close the script the session is closed asking login again. Well, I want to locate the script in my system, to modify its code
[13:35] <witnit> Does anyone know how to download a CD version of ubuntu 12.10.  I can only seem to find the DVD version which is too large for a CD.  Thanks.
[13:35] <tomreyn> LTF: this doesn't sound like a standard ubuntu configuration.
[13:35] <OerHeks> witnit 12.10 is too big for a 700 mb cd+r
[13:35] <smartracer> ok thanks for help
[13:35] <cfhowlett> witnit: time to try the usb install method?
[13:35] <Mukhthar> witnit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/
[13:36] <Touhou11> witnit: Use Xubuntu, that will still fit on a CD, plus it's better anyway
[13:36] <witnit> cfhowlett: I would if the PC I'm trying to install to had a USB port.  It's a n OLD PC.
[13:36] <LTF> tomreyn: no,is a script made by an user
[13:36] <witnit> touhoull: thanks.  I'll look it up for differences.
[13:37] <LTF> tomreyn: i just wanna learn how to search it by content
[13:37] <cfhowlett> witnit: ah.  ok.  then the suggestion to try xubunut/lubuntu would seem valid.  both are optimized for older/lower spec machines
[13:37] <tomreyn> LTF: check what the users' shell is: getent passwd | grep <name_of_the_user>
[13:37] <witnit> Thanks folks!!!
[13:37] <tomreyn> LTF: aslso check what the users' home directory is. then inspect the dot file in the users' home directory
[13:38] <chipdalf> have a nice day... bye...
[13:38] <Mukhthar> witnit : u can use plop boot manage to boot from usb if the bios does not support or by adding usb card
[13:38] <LTF> tomreyn: no, i mean, the script is executed by "restaura" user, i know its owner, i have access, this system just has not .xinitrc or x system, and dont know where to looki in,in rc.d i did not find it
[13:39] <tomreyn> LTF: for example, if the users' shell is bash, then the scripts which get executed on login are, in his home directory, .bash_profile and .bashrc
[13:39] <LTF> tomreyn: no,i already checkd there
[13:39] <witnit> mukhthar: Thanks, but I'm just trying to revive an unused PC without investing more money into it.
[13:40] <tomreyn> LTF: maybe the script which is called is invoked / referenced by the login scripts.
[13:41] <LTF> tomreyn:  so how i locate it
[13:42] <tomreyn> LTF: well, read the users' login scripts since no other scripts the user can modify are executed on the users' login.
[13:42] <tomreyn> LTF: either what you are looking for is in there or it is referenced yb them
[13:42] <tomreyn> *by
[13:43] <tomreyn> LTF: you can diff the users' login scripts against those in /etc/skel/ to detect changes
[13:43] <angy> Need some help here. I was trying to format a usb stick and throu my not paying attention i changed my hardrive file type.... Now i get grub rescue when i start up.  Im still new to linux.
[13:45] <lenochka_> это ubuntu-ru ?????
[13:45] <angy> it shows this,  error: unknown filesystem.       grub rescue>
[13:45] <Pici> lenochka_: /j #ubuntu-ru
[13:46] <cfhowlett> !ru|lenochka_:
[13:46] <craigbass1976> angy, are you trying to boot to this stick?
[13:48] <angy> no, its installed on hard drive. been there for months. i just changed the file type to ntfs by mistace
[13:50] <sebokie> hello
[13:50] <cfhowlett> sebokie: greetings
[13:50] <angy> craigbass1976:I think i need the command to change the file type back to fat32
[13:51] <sebokie> I would like to buy a printer which is able to scan to network folder
[13:51] <sebokie> HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw
[13:51] <craigbass1976> angy, I don't know that you can just do that with a command.  Someone else pipe up, but I thought this involved fdisk and changing the filesystem type from there.
[13:51] <sebokie> does someone know if it can scan to a NFS share on a Ubuntu server?
[13:52] <craigbass1976> sebokie, pm me
[13:52] <s9iper1> how to set up proxy setting in ubuntu 12.10 in my country youtube is banned so i like to open it throught proxy any body helps !! ??
[13:52] <angy> craigbass1976: Ya i wish lol, it wont boot pass grub command thou
[13:52] <TheLordOfTime> s9iper1, if its banned, i think asking for help bypassing local laws is bad form...
[13:53] <cfhowlett> TheLordOfTime: i'd tend to agree ...
[13:53] <angy> s9iper1: Google is your best friend
[13:53] <TheLordOfTime> s9iper1, i don't think this channel will help you to bypass local laws and regulations, i think you'll need to google that on your own.
[13:53] <s9iper1> angy: yes google is and i set up proxy as well but didnt help
[13:53] <cfhowlett> s9iper1: that said, i'm pretty sure the local community knows how.  I'm in china.  accessing youtube took me 30 seconds once I googled the solution
[13:54] <cfhowlett> s9iper1: not youtube ... facebook.  but the same method.  see reassigning /hosts file for more
[13:54] <s9iper1> cfhowlett: i am from pakistan
[13:54] <angy> ya im pretty sure theres some law we would be breaking instructing you on that over irc.
[13:54] <djzn> guys i need to make my cursor pointer BIGGER... like 48.....
[13:55] <cfhowlett> s9iper1: YMMV but see  http://4rapiddev.com/internet/access-blocked-facebook-in-vietnamchina-using-google-dns-or-changing-hosts-file/
[13:55] <stigmata> can the back in time app save the backup file on a computer on the network doesnt seem to have
[13:56] <s9iper1> cfhowlett: is this helpfull i try that ??
[13:57] <angy> Anyone know that grub command to change disk file type to fat32 or what ever ubuntu needs to fun ?
[13:57] <Mukhthar> should i delete the id_rsa & id_rsa.pub key on the remote servers for passwordless login
[13:58] <stigmata> can the back in time app save the backup file on a computer on the network doesnt seem to have ?
[13:58] <craigbass1976> angy, I musty have misunderstood.  I thought you actually changed the filesystem type of the thumb drive.  What you did was actually changed what grub thought it was?
[13:58] <tomreyn> djzn: which desktop / window manager are you using?
[13:59] <tomreyn> andy: you can use parted to set the partition type
[13:59] <tomreyn> angy: ^
[14:00] <kalamatianos212> hi
[14:00] <angy> CORRECT 9sorry for caps)
[14:00] <craigbass1976> tomreyn, I'm not sure the filesystem type actually changed.  I think angy just screwed up grub, the equivalent of putting the wrong filesystem type in the menu.lst file, or however it is you do that these days.
[14:01] <angy> i used the disk app in ubuntu and thats how i changed it i thought i was on the thumb drive but i was on the hard disk
[14:01] <tomreyn> angy: do this in a terminal: ( cat /proc/partitions && echo [14:01] <djzn> tomreyn: unity
[14:01] <angy> kk 1 sec
[14:02] <angy> with () ?
[14:02] <tomreyn> djzn: then i don'T know, sorry.
[14:02] <tomreyn> angy: yes, paste anything after the colon
[14:02] <angy> its on a diff pc
[14:02] <tomreyn> angy: ths should return a URL which I need you need to copy here
[14:03] <angy> okay kool
[14:03] <angy> sec
[14:03] <Petaz> is there a ubuntu notbook with ubuntu key instead of windows key?
[14:04] <agsel> can anyone recommend me a tool for gnome which has krusader alike synchronization?
[14:04] <agsel> or should I use krusader?
[14:04] <angy> tomreyn: unknown command
[14:05] <tomreyn> angy: okay then do this in a terminal: ( sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install parted && cat /proc/partitions && echo [14:06] <pengpeng> ?
[14:06] <angy> k

[14:07] <Hapzzz> at least to latest 5.4
[14:08] <angy> wow unknowncommand: sudo O0
[14:08] <ss_> Hi there, I'm having some problems running a game on ubuntu. Well, a few games actually! two from the current humble bundle :).
[14:08] <ss_> specifically, Shank 2 just seg faults horribly
[14:08] <ss_> while Closure says: "Couldn't find matching GLX visual"
[14:09] <ss_> slightly more useful, investigating this i've found a package called "glx-alternative-nvidia" Which i've tried to install
[14:10] <angy> tomreyn: i think i have to do a fresh install it wont even do sudo
[14:10] <tomreyn> ss_: your video drivers lack 3D acceleration
[14:10] <ss_> ss_, my video driver is an nvidia 650 GTX.
[14:11] <ss_> oh driver
[14:11] <tomreyn> angy: are you working from a live cd now?
[14:11] <ss_> right
[14:11] <ss_> yes! :D
[14:11] <angy> no this is a diffrent computer
[14:11] <tomreyn> angy: okay, but the other computer which is broken, how are you working on it?
[14:11] <ss_> tomreyn, yes I had feared the nivdia drivers were not correctly installed when nvidia-settings told me I "did not appear to be running the nvidia drivers" :D
[14:11] <tyler> I am running ubuntu 12.10. How can I close the lid on my laptop have it "Do nothing"
[14:11] <brendan_> so on 12.04 server, i get "running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" so what is the recommended way?
[14:12] <ss_> tomreyn, however, I have tried to follow various guides and none of their steps seem to fail?
[14:12] <angy> its on the same desk: when i power on it goes to grub rescue:
[14:12] <dcherniv> brendan_, ifup & ifdown
[14:12] <dcherniv> brendan_, but you should be good with service networking restar
[14:12] <brendan_> ok ty dcherniv
[14:13] <ss_> tomreyn,  that is to say, i've installed nvidia-current and restarted X, though this seems to have had little effect
[14:13] <ss_> any suggestions on how to proceed? :S
[14:13] <Guest62965> Nevermind, easier than I thought.
[14:13] <angy> tomreyn: I dont have anything to loose on the drive so a fresh install cant hurt. Ill just take this as a learning excperiance
[14:15] <tomreyn> ss_: i'm sorry, can't guide you through fixing the video acceleration right now. try the guides on help.ubuntu.com to either install the proprietary nvidia or the open source noveau drivers with video acceleration, unless you already did.
[14:15] <brendan_> one more quick question dcherniv, should networking be restarted when an entry is made to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[14:16] <tomreyn> angy: alright then, if you 're not loosing anything, then just go ahead. it can well be faster than trying to recover.
[14:17] <angy> ya, now i just have to get this thumb drive to mount on ubuntu so i can format and create a boot. that was my origenal issue LOL
[14:18] <angy> But i think its working now
[14:18] <ss_> tomreyn, hmm yes i have already installed the propriety nvidia drivers using apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
[14:18] <ss_> that seems to work successfully, but changes nothing
[14:18] <ss_> is there really nothing more that has to be done after the nvidia-current-updates is installed? no settings changed etc?
[14:19] <brendan_> should networking be restarted when an entry is added/deleted to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[14:19] <dcherniv> brendan_, yes
[14:19] <brendan_> ok
[14:19] <angy> How can i echo the DM that this pc is using so i can install that on my PC ?
[14:19] <ss_> brb, gonna restart X after having installed those new drivers
[14:20] <tomreyn> angy: sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk
[14:20] <ss_> hmm, no joy
[14:20] <angy> got that already
[14:21] <tomreyn> angy: okay :) what did you mean by DM?
[14:21] <angy> i forget what desktop maneger this pc uses
[14:22] <angy> like gnome and what have ya
[14:22] <tomreyn> angy: the default would be unity
[14:23] <angy> ya i hate unity lol
[14:23] <tomreyn> angy: i dislike it, too. you select the window manager / desktop to use when logging in.
[14:23] <zwangsfixiert> scriptassist
[14:23] <tomreyn> angy: some more suggestions: xubuntu (xfce), lubuntu (lxde), kubuntu (kde)
[14:24] <zwangsfixiert> yes
[14:24] <angy> okay im gonna relog so i can see what this pc uses i liek it
[14:24] <tomreyn> zwangsfixiert: whom are you talking to?
[14:25] <craigbass1976> I've got a samba share.  In fstab, I do a //<IP_ADDRESS>/moulton-files   /home/craig/share  cifs	file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000   0 0  But this doesn't work at boot because samba hasn't started yet when fstab is read.  I do a mount -a and it's fine.
[14:25] <angy> and kunduntu is the same as ubuntu or whats the diff ?
[14:26] <Pici> angy: Kubuntu comes with KDE as the default desktop environment, and a different set of KDE specific applications installed by default. Otherwise they are exactly the same.
[14:26] <aditya3098> Hey, I have a little prob with gdm3
[14:26] <craigbass1976> So I stuck a script that has mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/share /home/craig/share in it, ran update-rc.d samba-mounts defaults, but still didn't get it to mount at boot.  Any other ideas?
[14:26] <aditya3098> It worked fine on precise, but just don'nt work on quantal
[14:27] <angy> okay, i guess ill give that a try. Just wondering if i need to hit a diff channel if i need help (#kubuntu) ?
[14:27] <ss_> ah ha! there was an error on my install of nvidia-current-updates. specifically this error: "ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-3.7.0-7-generic is not supported"
[14:27] <aditya3098> Anyone?
[14:28] <aditya3098> Hey, I have a little prob with gdm3
[14:28] <aditya3098> It worked fine on precise, but just don'nt work on quantal
[14:28] <aditya3098> Did that get lost?
[14:28] <tomreyn> craigbass1976: you want to edit /etc/fstab and have it mounted that way. see the fstab man page for the proper format.
[14:28] <gbaman> hey guys, got a quick question, i have a rather complicated ubuntu install for testing with and need a little help :)
[14:29] <gbaman> anyone here good with that sort of stuff?
[14:29] <Vegetablesalad> Hello, could anyone please help me with this error.. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=yK9TZvU4
[14:29] <Vegetablesalad> I had 2.32, then I compiled and installed 2.34 and now am getting this error

[14:31] <gbaman> Sorry, I am trying to install ubuntu on an external HDD which already has data on it on 2 seperate partitions
[14:32] <gbaman> I have a 20gb partiton for ubuntu testing allocated and just need to install it now, but what is the best way to do this, taking into account the bootloader as that seems to be causing problems

[14:36] <gbaman> I am trying to install ubuntu on an external HDD which already has data on it on 2 seperate partitions then i have my 3rd ubuntu partition. I have a 20gb partiton for ubuntu testing allocated and just need to install it now, but what is the best way to do this, taking into account the bootloader as that seems to be causing problems --Now on 1 line
[14:37] <mooo>      anyone have a clue?
[14:38] <ss_> tomreyn, ok so I found this discussion on the forum: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10 which suggests that I should have linux-source installed before I install the nvidia-current-updates driver
[14:40] <lov> Whenever I press the "alt" button, the "Dash Home" menu opens. Is there any way to disable it opening for default? This gets really confusing and obnoxious when using synergy./
[14:41] <ss_> however, when I try to install the current-updates driver I noticed there was an error at the end regarding a problem with dkms and the unsupported version of my kernel. I then tried nvidia-current instead and it seemed to work! in that it got to the end of the aptitude install without an error.
[14:41] <lov> Nevermind, found it. Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts.
[14:41] <lov> Thanks anyway!
[14:41] <ss_> however, nvidia-settings still believes the nvidia drivers are not installed and the game still crashes :D
[14:41] <ss_> alas
[14:41] <joey8> lov
[14:41] <joey8> gone
[14:41] <joey8> before i could say bye
[14:42] <mooo> anyone familiar with gawk?
[14:43] <lov> OK, nevermind. That actually doesn't work.
[14:44] <lov> I'm looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/122209/how-do-i-modify-or-disable-the-huds-use-of-the-alt-key
[14:44] <lov> however, disabling the "Key to show the HUD" item still shows the search bar when I press alt.
[14:44] <lov> I've also disabled "Search", but that didn't help.
[14:45] <angy> If i install xbackight can i set brightness to 100 at boot some how ?
[14:47] <lov> Looking around, it seems like a lot of people have this problem.
[14:52] <eruditehermit> hey, can anyone help me. After an apt-get upgrade, my apt is stuck at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-21-generic
[14:52] <eruditehermit> and it won't complete
[14:52] <eruditehermit> can anyone help me make it finish
[14:52] <eruditehermit> I don't want to reboot with it like this
[14:54] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: how long has it been stuck?
[14:54] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, 20 minutes+
[14:54] <craigbass1976> I dont' know what just happened.  All of a sudden I'm stuck at a grub menu, and the keyboard doesnt' work.
[14:54] <craigbass1976> Any ideas?
[14:56] <SolarisBoy> a few hard to tell
[14:56] <SolarisBoy> do you have log output with any errors? and possibly dmesg? and is the initramfs a product of a distupgrade or specific package install?
[14:57] <SolarisBoy> /distupgrade/upgrade/
[14:57] <SolarisBoy> craigbass1976: the initram gets loaded on bootup to memory where drivers and stuff are loaded before pass of two init, so a broken one can affect boot
[14:57] <SolarisBoy> craigbass1976: do you have other kernels installed?
[14:59] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, was that at me?
[14:59] <SolarisBoy> yes
[14:59] <craigbass1976> SolarisBoy, I only see a choice for "Previous Linux versions".  I've been running 12.04 on that box since not long after it came out, so if grub saves the kernel entries by default, then they're there somewhere.  I'm downloading an iso now to boot to
[14:59] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, the initramfs is just hanging. I was removing fglrx
[14:59] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: do you have any log errors?
[14:59] <Tony_Stark> anyone know what a dma script error is or what causes it?
[14:59] <NaZZaX> is there an easy way to change the obnoxious colors in nano the comments are bright fuscha
[14:59] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, which log would I look at?
[15:00] <zgnuu> Is there a graphical program I can use to edit my GTK colours?
[15:00] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: try looking at the tail end of dmesg and /var/log/syslog
[15:00] <SolarisBoy> craigbass1976: really sorry i was aiming those for eruditehermit =)
[15:01] <SolarisBoy> craigbass1976: stuck at grub boot then?
[15:01] <martian> Is there a way to set a custom prompt for only a specific directory (and its children perhaps)?
[15:01] <superdmp> I don't understand why I am getting this: http://dpaste.com/849849/ (Ubuntu 10.10)
[15:02]  * NaZZaX hates colors on mirc
[15:02] <SolarisBoy> martian: maybe with bash startup files and conditional logic on setting PS1
[15:04] <craigbass1976> SolarisBoy, yes; hang on though.  I'm grabbing xubuntu iso
[15:04] <SolarisBoy> kk
[15:04] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1454897/
[15:04] <martian> SolarisBoy: oh right, like adding an inline-if in the prompt. hmmm thanks :)
[15:04] <SolarisBoy> martian: sure
[15:05] <SolarisBoy> martian: it's probably easier with zsh/zle stuff take a look at how they do it (bash/zsh) for those prompts where it updates to your current directory as a hint - lots of folks have that prompt
[15:06] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: nothing concerning you i see there =(
[15:06] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: are you on a laptop?
[15:07] <guang_> when i use gdb,why i type "b 0x7c00",then type "c",but it does not stop at 0x7c00?
[15:07] <craigbass1976> SolarisBoy, well now, that's retarded...  PS2 keyboard works fine.
[15:08] <SolarisBoy> craigbass1976: if your using a very special keybooard (in some cases) i've seen it not be fully functional or not functional at all at grub screens during bootup (and earlier in bios)
[15:09] <SolarisBoy> only a very few though.. mainly on servers and stuff where i had to just plug a ps/2 mouse in to get it to work - also it could be other weird things like bios setting lock keys on boot - no clue least it works now huh?
[15:09] <B0R3D_W1Sd0m> how to use windows key of my keyboard in ubuntu
[15:09] <craigbass1976> SolarisBoy, It's weird.  THe same keyboard has worked for months.  Now that I'm into xfce, the usb keyboard works fine.
[15:10] <SolarisBoy> weird - im pretty lame on X/graphics related stuff and defer to my coworkers on that lol
[15:10] <Tony_Stark> SolarisBoy: When I boot my ubuntu server, it gets to a certain point where it is attempting to run a script, but says dma error.  What causes this and how to I fix it.
[15:11] <SolarisBoy> Tony_Stark: what script? whats the error exactly? (pastebin) does it halt boot? what throws the error?
[15:12] <Tony_Stark> It does halt the boot process and continues to display the same error over and over
[15:12] <SolarisBoy> Tony_Stark: ok
[15:12] <SolarisBoy> Tony_Stark: do you know what script it is? something you put or something from the system? is it new?
[15:12] <cdavis> I am very frustrated with nvida and kernel apt-get kernel updates.I don't think X is using any nvidia drivers again, can someone help me trouble shoot this
[15:13] <Tony_Stark> SolarisBoy: I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.  I have not run it in a while, but when I attempted to boot it the other day, I got the error message.
[15:13] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, well my machine hung so I didn't get  achoice
[15:13] <Tony_Stark> SolarisBoy: I wish I was at home and I would paste the error for you, but I am not there right now.
[15:13] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, when I ran it after rebooting it completed
[15:13] <SolarisBoy> Tony_Stark: Tony_Stark cool can you capture the message and post?
[15:13] <cdavis> modprobe nvidia claims nvidia-310 doesn't exist, however, dpkg shows it as installed
[15:13] <wessly> it's better to download a 32 bit version of OS for Intel B960 or x64?
[15:13] <SolarisBoy> ahh - Tony_Stark maybe try booting with nodma options into a recovery mode and disabling whatever script it is
[15:14] <Tony_Stark> SolarisBoy: Ok..I will attempt that.  If you are on later this evening, I will get you the specific error.
[15:14] <jim_> hi - having trouble with a fresh ubuntu 12.04 install, can't get flash (youtube) vids to play.  have installed full restricted package, checked for proprietary drivers, also tried the firefox plugin "Flash Aid," but still a black space where the vids should be - I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks
[15:14] <Tony_Stark> SolarisBoy: Thank you for helping
[15:14] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: you may want to check you file system - or hdd - i had that happen and a week later that drive died - also i've seen it happen actually work after about 30 minutes updating initramfs (same bad drive)
[15:15] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, I just got this. Its a new SSD
[15:16] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: not a definate but something to consider - also check the error logs again more fully (sudo find /var/log -name \*log -mtime -5 -exec grep -i error '{}' \; ) - you may find an actual error then
[15:16] <SolarisBoy> Tony_Stark: sure
[15:17] <SolarisBoy> eruditehermit: you can adjust some of the values in the command to see more stuff like stuff more than 5 hours young or maybe change the string "error" to "initram" or something else.
[15:17] <Guest67523> hi derps!
[15:18] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, thanks
[15:18] <eruditehermit> SolarisBoy, brb
[15:18] <Guest67523> I have come here to announce the end of the world!
[15:18] <SolarisBoy> it's possible it was putting something huge into the image and it pretty memory intensive to pack all the stuff back into the image with the lzma compression so i've seen that halt based ont hat as well
[15:18] <SolarisBoy> sure
[15:19] <Guest67523> control-z!!! me gusta it

[15:21] <SolarisBoy> wessly: as per http://ark.intel.com/products/59836/Intel-Pentium-Processor-B960--2M-Cache-2_20-GHz | thats a 64 bit cpu so you should go with 64 bit
[15:22] <craigbass1976> I stuck mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/share /home/craig/share in a file called /etc/init.d/samba-share  and ran update-rc.d samba-mounts defaults  How do I undo that?
[15:22] <anonymous_> i am 16 years
[15:22] <SolarisBoy> i wonder how old ubuntu is
[15:22] <theadmin> SolarisBoy: The first release was in 2004
[15:23] <theadmin> I think
[15:23] <SolarisBoy> cool thanks theadmin
[15:23] <SolarisBoy> still a baby
[15:23] <craigbass1976> SolarisBoy, But a lot older than Windows 8
[15:23] <compdoc> craigbass1976, update-rc.d -f apache2 remove samba-mounts, then delete /etc/init.d/samba-share
[15:24] <compdoc> craigbass1976, oops
[15:24] <SolarisBoy> right... also i think windows 8 is demon spawn so many differences
[15:24] <compdoc> update-rc.d -f samba-mounts remove
[15:24] <craigbass1976> compdoc, That was funny though.
[15:24] <compdoc> ty
[15:24] <tomreyn> craigbass1976:  was /etc/init.d/samba-share already there and you added to it or did you create this file from scratch and it didn't exist previously?

[15:24] <ShawnRisk> I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and wondering why my wireless internet can't connect sometimes but other times I can.  I only have a WPS device wired to the internet box.  Any ideas?
[15:24] <craigbass1976> tomreyn, I made it
[15:25] <Guest3159> ping
[15:25] <jay_why_bee> pong
[15:25] <SolarisBoy> ShawnRisk: are there signal differences during the inability to connect?
[15:25] <tomreyn> craigbass1976: then you should be set with compdoc's instructions
[15:25] <Guest3159> hhii
[15:25] <tomreyn> craigbass1976: were you able to make the mount on boot work with fstab?
[15:27] <ShawnRisk> SolarisBoy: On My Mac it is full, and on Ubuntu it is 1 under the top, but that shouldn't make a difference.
[15:27] <craigbass1976> tomreyn, not yet.  It was trying to mount via the init.d script, then instead of just failing it locked the box up and gave me an error.  Something about Merry Christmas Ha Ha Ha!
[15:27] <hdyuiwow11> hi there
[15:28] <jay_why_bee> I have a update-grub question.  I just upgraded a server clean, but I have a filesystem (unmounted) with my old server's install on it.  Whenever I update-grub, it finds all the old kernels on that unmounted filesystem.  How can I keep it from adding this to my grub.cfg?
[15:28] <tomreyn> !rootirc | root
[15:29] <dr_willis> jay_why_bee:  you could rename the kernel directory perhaps.
[15:29] <tomreyn> craigbass1976: well, it's close to cmas ;)
[15:29] <dr_willis> jay_why_bee:  or perhaps disable the os-prober part of the grub configs
[15:29] <tomreyn> *xmas
[15:29] <SolarisBoy> ShawnRisk: just checking - so you can single the ubuntu box out with different behaviour your saying?
[15:29] <hdyuiwow11> after update to 310 network drivers lost
[15:29] <SolarisBoy> ShawnRisk: what card/driver is it using?
[15:29] <jay_why_bee> dr_willis let me see if I can rename the old /boot directory.
[15:30] <hdyuiwow11> nvidia 460M
[15:30] <SolarisBoy> ShawnRisk: also try iwevent command from wireless-tools (i think) package to see what the card is doing around the time it's occuring
[15:30] <EagleScreen> hi

[15:32] <dr_willis> or set itto be like 2 hrs. instead of 20 min
[15:33] <tomreyn> jakub: do you really need to connect with four users?
[15:33] <craigbass1976> Is it possible to tell grub to ignore the fact that there's no keyboard and just boot?  I don't understand why it's hanging
[15:33] <cdavis> can someone help me with modprobe nvidia > FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found.
[15:34] <strempo> hi guys
[15:34] <dr_willis> craigbass1976:  ive seen the PC BIOS complain../ but never grub
[15:34] <jay_why_bee> dr_willis: trying to rename the old "boot" directory, or even the old links vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old did't work
[15:34] <dr_willis> jay_why_bee:  never really had the issue. You could just delete them if you never plan on booting the server.. or tar them up
[15:34] <EagleScreen> dr_willis: I have: Turn screen off when inactive for: Never
[15:35] <jay_why_bee> dr_willis: any idea where the script is that probes for other configs?

[15:54] <theadmin> RandyG71: GParted will help
[15:54] <alimj> theadmin: Agree with you...
[15:54] <Ca11umD> tomreyn: fglrxinfo returned version/renderer information, if that is helpful?
[15:55] <tomreyn> RandyG71: actually 220M should be enough, you really just need to remove some kernel images.
[15:55] <dr_willis> remove old kernels perhaps RandyG71  may be easier
[15:55] <RandyG71> I need to do it all from CLI since my ui will not load. This is a VM too
[15:55] <theadmin> RandyG71: You can (and should!) use a livecd for partition resizing anyways
[15:55] <alimj> tomreyn: Agree with you. Rand: However, do not delete them. Just move them to another partition
[15:56] <tomreyn> RandyG71: start with this to get a list of installed kernel images: dpkg -l linux-image\* | grep ^i
[15:57] <RandyG71> http://pastebin.com/SqVWjxYC
[15:57] <tomreyn> RandyG71: now which one are you running currently? uname -r
[15:57] <Guest95162> hello, for intel B970 what should i download x32 or x64?
[15:58] <RandyG71> 3.2.0-30-generic
[15:58] <theadmin> Guest95162: Is it a 64-bit processor?
[15:58] <SolarisBoy> Guest95162: 64
[15:58] <SolarisBoy> it's a 64bit proc
[15:58] <dcherniv> Guest95162, what is intel B970?
[15:58] <MangoBoy> .
[15:58] <d0tnet_> ping
[15:58] <Guest95162> Then i think 64 is the answer?
[15:59] <tomreyn> RandyG71: so I suggest you delete all but the current and the last but one then.

[15:59] <jay_why_bee> dr_willis: There is a thread about adding to the "30_os-prober" to allow you to ignore some partitions (or logical volumes, in my case).  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/grub2-skipping-one-partition-from-os-detection-741100/
[16:00] <RandyG71> ok so I ran: dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
[16:00] <RandyG71> to purge old kernals
[16:00] <RandyG71> but got errors
[16:00] <dcherniv> Guest95162, yes get 64 bit
[16:00] <AndrewMc> hi
[16:00] <Guest11008> hi
[16:01] <Guest11008> list
[16:01] <d0tnet_> wiwiwiwi
[16:02] <tomreyn> RandyG71: that's kind of a complex series of commands, do you know what it does?
[16:03] <RandyG71> I got it off a couple of reputable "how to" sites
[16:03] <d0tnet_> helpmee
[16:04] <alimj> Randy: Just sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic
[16:04] <alimj> Randy: Then: sudo update-grub2
[16:04] <tomreyn> RandyG71: maybe start with something more simple: sudo dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.38-1{0,1,2,3,5}-server
[16:05] <tomreyn> !ask d0tnet_
[16:05] <tomreyn> !ask | d0tnet_
[16:07] <tomreyn> Ca11umD: maybe also helpful, i don't know its output. is there a reason you don't want to install mesa-utils?
[16:08] <RandyG71> http://pastebin.com/V5H3V1rn
[16:10] <tomreyn> RandyG71: are you talking to alimj then? be sure to address the people you're talking to, so they will know.
[16:10] <Ca11umD> tomreyn, I just don't like cluttering up my computer with stuff I'll use once
[16:10] <RandyG71> oh, sorry
[16:10] <fellipe> hi. I am running 12.04 server and I have two interfaces with two internet links, and I have multipath rules. So I can switch between the links at anytime. But, I set dns-nameservers in each of interface configuration block, and the dns resolution is toooooo slow. I thought the kernel would query the proper dns wich belongs to that link of that specific interface. So how to solve it?
[16:11] <alimj> Randy: It is time for 'apt-get -f install' However; I suggest you to remove two more old kernels
[16:11] <tomreyn> Ca11umD: well you can just pruge it afterwards without any remainders. it's also a rather small package.
[16:11] <robertzaccour> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARsz9dX6_Do wow good video short but detailed. so true so true.
[16:13] <stobix> ehm. I can't install wine because wine1.4 has a bogus dependency on wine1.4-i386 (I have amd64). What do?
[16:13] <mooo> is there a way to search for a condition in vim, for example a letter, and add a word to the last line if matched?
[16:14] <d0tnet_> anyone got a good hit squid.conf ?
[16:15] <stobix> mooo: hmm, some :g trickery perhaps?
[16:15] <alimj> d0tnet_: What is the question? It has many available config options
[16:15] <tomreyn> fellipe: it's not the kernel querying the nameservers, it's applications / user space most of the time. and they will use either the glibc resolver or whatever is set in /etc/resolv.conf. if you have the resolvconf package installed this should allow for the dns-nameservers option in your interface configuration to be applied to /etc/resolv.conf (which is then a symbolic link)
[16:15] <bsnyder> i'm searching for an iso image of JeOS for use w/ VMware Fusion
[16:15] <mooo> stobix: I was thinking something along those lines
[16:15] <mooo> I was thinking something like :g/h/$/blah/g
[16:15] <mooo> but that didn't work.
[16:15] <bsnyder> but i see that ISO images of JeOS have been replaced by the vmbuilder script, but VMware is not supported
[16:16] <bsnyder> is there a solution here?
[16:16] <EagleScreen> Ubuntu turns off the screen after a while when I am watching a movie, even having configured it to turn off the screen never. I'd need some help to avoid this behaviour, please.
[16:17] <tomreyn> !ot > robertzaccour
[16:17] <fellipe> tomreyn, hi! interesting, but why it is happening when I have dns-nameservers in each config block? I commented out one of these two lines and now it is resolving quickly
[16:18] <mooo> anyone have any clue?
[16:18] <fellipe> tomreyn, and I already have the resolvconf installed
[16:18] <d0tnet_> alimj: to reduce tcp_miss . ?
[16:18] <stobix> mooo: :g/h/normal Giblah<ESC> perhaps?
[16:18] <stobix> mooo: alsa: :h :g :)
[16:18] <tomreyn> fellipe: i wouldn't know. i think it should work with different dns-nameservers in each block, as long as you can connect to those from both paths
[16:19] <tomreyn> fellipe: chances are you just had one nameserver in there which you can't actually query.
[16:19] <stobix> mooo: but skip the <ESC> part, it didn't work. :)
[16:19] <stobix> s/alsa/also/
[16:20] <stobix> mooo: hm, I don't know if you can get around it only matching lines, not characters, though. Right now you get one match for each line with a matching character...
[16:21] <tomreyn> fellipe: you can use the dig or host commands to directly query these nameservers while switched the the very  route you have configured them for, and see whether they respond (and how).
[16:21] <fellipe> tomreyn, god idea. I will  run ip route get <dns>
[16:24] <tomreyn> mooo: maybe a combination of grep and tee -a would help. admittedly that's not vim.
[16:25] <ironhoof> Hello, I have a 500GB GPT drive with EFI machine, I tried installing ubuntu on it, and I get a failure to boot, is there a simple way around this?
[16:29] <Sazpaimon> how can I make logrotate only compress files that are x days old
[16:29] <stobix> I don't get what's wrong with wine... If there is a wine-amd64 package, why would I need to install a 32-bit chroot to install wine? What gives?
[16:31] <Sazpaimon> stobix, wine has a 64 bit version, but I don't think it's packaged
[16:31] <Sazpaimon> the wine package installs the 32 bit version of wine, because the majority of windows applications are 32 bit
[16:32] <Sazpaimon> like I said, though, there does exist a native 64 bit version of wine, but that will only allow you to run 64 bit windows applications, unless you set up a wow64 environment, in which case you would still need the 32 bit compatability support packages
[16:33] <Guest59641> hi, finally got mATE Working, it is really good
[16:33] <theadmin> Sazpaimon: If you use PlayOnLinux, you can easily install extra versions of Wine without any trouble, including 64-bit ones
[16:33] <Guest59641> hi steve, its larry
[16:33] <stobix> Sazpaimon: Hm. Maybe the wine package on a 64-bit machine should try to do something else than trying to install a package that doesn't exist (wine-i386), and install a chroot first/instead?
[16:34] <stobix> Sazpaimon: anyways, thanks for the info. I guess I'll simply ignore the package manager brokenness for now.
[16:34] <Datz> Does anyone know if gnome-session-fallback has the ability to use widgets in the task/tool bars?
[16:34] <larry__> hi svt
[16:34] <Sazpaimon> theadmin, does wine64 actually work now? I havent used it in a long time
[16:35] <theadmin> Sazpaimon: I have no idea
[16:35] <fellipe> tomreyn, hi. I ran ip route get <dns server ip> and the kernel is using the same route to all the dns-servers ip ....  so how can I switch between dns-servers since it's no longer possible to use /etc/resolv.conf?
[16:36] <larry__> I know wine is meant to RUN a windows application, but how do you INSTALL a windows application, I would like to install my windows printer drive
[16:36] <fellipe> tomreyn, or I can set static route to each dns server ip...
[16:36] <Sazpaimon> larry__, a driver != an application
[16:37] <Sazpaimon> as for installing applications in wine, running the setup program should be sufficient
[16:37] <TheLordOfTime> larry__, a windows driver won't install on linux, even if you use Wine.
[16:37] <larry__> Sazpaimon,  atm i run a windows partition with the  printer software on it so boot between the two
[16:37] <Sazpaimon> if you want your printer to work in ubuntu, you'll need to install native linux drivers/modules for it
[16:38] <larry__> there isn't one, leastwise not one  that is usable
[16:38] <Sazpaimon> usually CUPS is sufficient for most printers
[16:38] <tomreyn> fellipe: sounds like your route switching doesn't work so well then.
[16:39] <fellipe> tomreyn, it is because I did not set static routes to dns servers
[16:39] <tomreyn> fellipe: okay, good to know it works then
[16:40] <Sazpaimon> anyway back to my question. How can I make logrotate only compress files that are  older than a certain time?
[16:40] <tomreyn> fellipe: i have little practical experience with multi path setups mysqlf, probably less than you.
[16:40] <larry__> nope, my epson has four ink cartridges and the cups manager does not know which cartridge has run out. all i know is it has stopped printing because one  cartridge has run out. guess which one is unsatisfactory as the wrongguess leaves you with open but unused cartridges
[16:40] <Datz> Does anyone know if gnome-session-fallback has the ability to use widgets in the task/tool bars?
[16:41] <theadmin> Datz: Sure. Right-clicking the panel no longer words, some weirdo thought it was a good idea to map the context menu to Ctrl+WinKey+RightClick
[16:41] <theadmin> Datz: But other than that, yeah
[16:41] <Datz> theadmin: sweetness. thanks
[16:41] <tomreyn> Sazpaimon: that's not really uspported by logrotate, i think. you could write a wrapper script for the compression command or do the compression yourself using the postrotate hook, though
[16:41] <Ja1> hello
[16:41] <Ja1> how can i find the external hard drive ID on linux ?
[16:41] <Ja1> lsusb ?
[16:42] <fellipe> tomreyn, ah, I don't think so! You all are gurus here.. I am just a newbie ;)
[16:42] <tomreyn> Ja1: blkid <DEVICE>
[16:42] <theadmin> Ja1: Depends on what you mean by ID
[16:42] <tomreyn> Ja1: that's if you mean the block device id
[16:43] <theadmin> Ja1: UUID? blkid is the best choice, or see the files in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ (they are symlinks to /dev/sd*)
[16:43] <Ja1> theadmin im trying to run a backup script
[16:43] <Ja1> which doesnt let me run because of the wrong Id
[16:44] <Ja1> ERROR: The mounted backup drive was not properly identified with id file "gatekeeper_backup_drive"
[16:44] <tomreyn> fellipe: well a multi-homes link setup is kind of advanced, i'd say. ;-)
[16:44] <tomreyn> *homed
[16:44] <fellipe> tomreyn, sure, and it works like a charm ;)
[16:44] <Sazpaimon> tomreyn, well for now I can juse use delaycompress, and that will only compress the files from 2 runs ago right?
[16:45] <tomreyn> fellipe: that's pretty nice indeed.
[16:45] <bjrohan> I am looking for some help in settng up rysnc over my home network using ssh, can anyone here verify my command to make sure it will do what I want?  I have ssh with rsa keys set up already
[16:45] <tomreyn> Sazpaimon: delaycompress just changes the order in which logrotate does things during a run.
[16:45] <Ja1> tomreyn any idea ?
[16:46] <fellipe> tomreyn, yeah. so thanks!
[16:46] <dcherniv> bjrohan, why bother with ssh?
[16:46] <tomreyn> Ja1: we still don't know what "ID" refers to
[16:46] <dcherniv> bjrohan, just setup an rsync daemon
[16:46] <Datz> theadmin: that doesn't seemt to be working for me.
[16:47] <Datz> ctrl+win+ right click
[16:47] <theadmin> Datz: Or was it Ctrl+Alt+Win+right click...
[16:47] <theadmin> Datz: Try that, it was some crazy combo
[16:47] <Datz> hehe
[16:48] <Datz> theadmin: win+alt+right click. Thanks very much :)

[17:23] <Terriblist> jesus its like the same 4 people in al chanels
[17:23] <sitwon> is this the right channel to get help with installing proprietary nvidia drivers in 12.10?
[17:24] <Terriblist> sitwon: i can help
[17:24] <beaky> are thre alternativesto the unity shell?
[17:24] <Terriblist> sitwon: do you want to install drivers from nvidias website
[17:24] <Terriblist> thats what i use
[17:24] <Terriblist> its awesome
[17:24] <swift94> well if you mean deskop environments .. there are  beaky
[17:24] <xangua> beaky: kde, xfce, lxde, gnome-shell, lots of
[17:25] <sitwon> Terriblist: I have a GTX 660 Ti card, I just installed a fresh copy of 12.10 for 64-bit. I've tried to install nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates but neither one seems to work properly
[17:25] <Terriblist> yeah dont use those
[17:25] <swift94> enlightenment, openbox ... and a few others
[17:25] <beaky> how do I install one of those alternative shells
[17:25] <Terriblist> all the linux drivers are a mess
[17:25] <beaky> which one is the most lightweight
[17:25] <swift94> they should be available in the repos
[17:25] <beaky> ah thanks
[17:25] <swift94> oh ... probably lxde
[17:25] <Terriblist> sitwon: go download from nvidia
[17:25] <sitwon> :-/
[17:25] <sitwon> ok
[17:26] <Terriblist> get the latest linux driver for your card
[17:26] <beaky> alright I've downloaded gnome-shell. how do I switch to it :D
[17:26] <rumpel> beaky, log out, choose gnome-shell, log in..
[17:26] <swift94> once you log out, you then have the option to switch desktop environments
[17:27] <swift94> it should be on the top right hand corner of the login window on ubuntu
[17:27] <swift94> as n image
[17:28] <swift94> also ... it may not look exactly the same as a distro with the DE installed by default
[17:29] <beaky> wow
[17:29] <beaky> it worked! thanks
[17:29] <swift94> np
[17:29] <beaky> it looks too ubuntuish
[17:29] <swift94> gnome 3 ?
[17:29] <beaky> gnome classic :D
[17:29] <beaky> also how do I uninstall amazo
[17:29] <beaky> amazon*
[17:30] <IdleOne> !adlens
[17:30] <beaky> ah thank
[17:30] <beaky> thanks*
[17:30] <darshan> beaky: change to gnome instead of gnome classic
[17:31] <beaky> is gnome gnome-3?
[17:31] <Abhijit> yes
[17:31] <beaky> ah gnome 3 (and unity) runs too slow on my machine :(
[17:32] <swift94> one last thing ... gnome classic (dont quote me) is not being supported ... it still works, but no advancements are beign made
[17:32] <beaky> ah
[17:32] <beaky> so I should switch to xfce then
[17:32] <darshan> beaky: gnome classic looks more or less the same as unity
[17:32] <Terriblist> beaky: whats your q?
[17:33] <swift94> personally I like kde because of the customizability, but then again it depends on your specs
[17:33] <beaky> I wanted to switch my graphical shell to something less resource-intensive than unity
[17:33] <beaky> and my options were gnome-classic, xfce, lxde, and some others
[17:33] <beaky> KDE's nice, but it is quite heavy :D
[17:34] <Terriblist> beaky: use gnome 2
[17:34] <Terriblist> thats why im not using debian7
[17:34] <beaky> ah
[17:34] <Terriblist> they ruined it with gnome4
[17:34] <beaky> gnome4...
[17:34] <swift94> well .. kde is still underneath as far as ram.... but yes .. i guess it is heavy ... it runs several programs in the background....
[17:34] <Terriblist> idiots
[17:34] <swift94> gnome 4?
[17:34] <Terriblist> gnome3 jeesh im kidding
[17:35] <Terriblist> relax nerdds
[17:35] <beaky> I dislike gnome 3
[17:35] <Terriblist> i hate gnome3
[17:35] <swift94> lol... the world is melting!!!
[17:35] <beaky> yeah today is the apocalypse
[17:35] <swift94> .. gnome 3 is ok for me...
[17:35] <Terriblist> why did they try to copy unity
[17:35] <beaky> they are experimenting with new user experiences
[17:35] <Terriblist> gnome3 would be ok if they allowed to make it look like gnom3
[17:35] <Terriblist> 2
[17:36] <Terriblist> beaky: it also depends on your video drivers and your os
[17:36] <beaky> ah
[17:36] <Blask> can i install gnome2 on my ubuntu12.10?
[17:36] <Terriblist> for example debian7 w nvidia.run drivers and gnome3 runs
[17:36] <beaky> my OS is arch GNU/Linux
[17:36] <Terriblist> as fast as gnome2
[17:37] <beaky> I'm running ubuntu in a VM
[17:37] <swift94> arch ... dang
[17:37] <Terriblist> i know linux mint didnt work that great
[17:37] <swift94> ive wanted to do that or a while
[17:37] <Terriblist> yeah the whole linux world is falling appart w all this gnome bs
[17:37] <Terriblist> everyone is complaining online
[17:38] <Terriblist> glad i have debian6
[17:38] <rumpel> Terriblist, I'm not complaining, so you're statement is false.
[17:38] <Terriblist> rumpel: you are special
[17:38] <maslo> hi guys I'm having issues figuring out how to fix postfix to make it accept external emails, I keep playing with smtpd_recipient_restrictions with different parameter and it ends up bouncing or saying server configuration error if anyone could help me out that would be appreciated
[17:39] <swift94> .. yeah ... honestly ... they should have stuck wiht the gnome 2 layout and changed metacity or compiz
[17:39] <swift94> sorry ... dont know it maslo
[17:40] <SolarisB1y> maslo: post your postfix conf and the error message to pastebin
[17:40] <maslo> one second
[17:43] <sitwon> Terriblist: still having problems. I try to run the script and it complains that X is running... ok, I swtich to VT1 and stop lightdm. now it complains I'm using the neuvau driver. I let it blacklist the neuvau driver, but then I can't get back to VT1
[17:44] <SUCK_MY_DICK> hi
[17:45] <IdleOne> Please change your nick
[17:45] <SUCK_MY_DICK> eh, I like this nick
[17:45] <maslo> http://pastebin.com/Uvp7Cudf SolarisB1y, just to mention that I am far from understanding postfix that much it is the basic configurations that I changed a little I'm just trying to set up a piping to a php script but first I need to figure out how to receive external emails :X I'm a web developper trying to understand sysadministration/ubuntu more by hosting myself
[17:46] <Terriblist> sitwon: you have to uninstall everything nvidia
[17:46] <maslo> right now it bounces with In:  RCPT<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Out: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration error
[17:46] <maslo> well not bounce but I get a message from my vps with the transcript of the session
[17:47] <sitwon> Terriblist: I did, but nevermind. I figured out that VT1 was showing up on my onboard graphics instead of on the Nvidia card. I just had to switch the plug
[17:47] <Terriblist> sitwon: http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/debian-linux/install-nvidia-proprietary-unix-driver/
[17:47] <Terriblist> follow those steps exactly
[17:47] <Terriblist> and youll have it working
[17:48] <SolarisB1y> maslo: the mail server you are on responds to mathzx.com and is the mx for the domain?
[17:49] <maslo> the domain mx is set right
[17:49] <Terriblist> sitwon: ur even gona have a cool nvidia logo on startup
[17:51] <SolarisB1y> maslo: send the postfix logs please and look for "asd"
[17:53] <llutz> maslo: "mydestination = mathzx.com, localhost.com, , localhost"     <- do you really own "localhost.com"?
[17:53] <maslo> lol no but it was there by default
[17:54] <maslo> I assumed it was meant to be that way
[17:54] <llutz> maslo: that is a registered domain, remove it
[17:54] <maslo> doing so right now
[17:54] <Terriblist> sitwon: make sure you anwer all the steps corectly in the .run
[17:54] <Rage> I need some help with my computer
[17:55] <Rage> I recently installed 12.04 on my ubuntu and I'm not really that pleased with it
[17:56]  * dr_willis never knows if he should ask for details.. or of the person is just taking the time to actually type in details....
[17:56] <Rage> The only way to "downgrade" my ubuntu is to reinstall it right?
[17:57] <dr_willis> correct rage
[17:57] <dr_willis> !downgrade
[17:57] <maslo> that's the main.log until the last postfix reload, http://pastebin.com/fhA5CmUm
[17:57] <dr_willis> you could try 12.10
[17:57] <maslo> mail.log*
[17:57] <maslo> and that's what I get from my vps http://pastebin.com/LsXECgqJ
[17:57] <Rage> if I reinstall ubuntu it won't keep my applications and stuff will it?
[17:58] <smkatz> hi guys. I'm  a lot smarter than I was last night. I've mastered a bunch of this web server/drupal stuff. still have some questions. so, when configuring packages, I have to input the mysql password for database creation, and I installed phpmyadmin but when I go to phpmyadmin/setup in a web browser, I'm not sure what the username should be
[17:58] <dr_willis> Rage:  of course not. a reinstall  erases everything
[17:58] <smkatz> Rage, why are you downgrading, first of all?
[17:58] <smkatz> are you having some problem we could help you fix?
[17:58] <Rage> I have so far found several errors in python and other apps
[17:58] <Terriblist> smkatz: download navicat
[17:59] <Rage> navicat?
[17:59] <DJones> Rage: Have you reported them as bugs?
[17:59] <Terriblist> how can you even use phpmyadmin lol
[17:59] <maslo> smkatz have you tried root?
[17:59] <smkatz> yes that's the strange part I have tried root
[17:59] <Rage> actually I haven't
[17:59] <smkatz> what does navicat do?
[17:59] <smkatz> *looks it up*
[18:00] <Rage> Is there any way I could use Pytivo on 12.04?
[18:00] <Terriblist> its a mysql gui tool
[18:00] <DJones> Rage: Thats the best way of helping to get them fixed, if nobody reports them,  the developers won't know about them
[18:01] <smkatz> terriblist is it OSS?
[18:01] <Terriblist> no
[18:01] <smkatz> not obvious
[18:01] <Terriblist> but you can get the light version
[18:01] <Terriblist> and you need wine
[18:01] <smkatz> and how does it specifically address my problem? to be clear, I'm not scared of the command line,
[18:02] <Terriblist> but its the best tool for mysql
[18:02] <smkatz> I just wanted to simulate a web host
[18:02] <smkatz> because I'm mentoring someone
[18:02] <Terriblist> you can use command line sql but its alot less eficient
[18:02] <zgr> any sed wizards online? I need to replace each first char on line in file1(has 1299 lines) with each char from  file2 (has 1299 chars)
[18:02] <Rage> !pytivo
[18:02] <Terriblist> what do you mean simulate lol
[18:03] <Terriblist> linux ie ubuntu IS the BEST web host
[18:03] <smkatz> I mean I want to teach them phpmyadmin
[18:03] <Terriblist> google runs on debian servers
[18:03] <Terriblist> oh
[18:03] <smkatz> I installed it using apt-get install phpmyadmin
[18:03] <smkatz> it prompted me to create a database
[18:03] <smkatz> I did
[18:03] <Rage> Djones? does PyTivo work on ubuntu 12.04?
[18:04] <smkatz> I can access the phpmyadmin login page
[18:04] <Terriblist> smkatz install mysql workbench then
[18:04] <Terriblist> its free and its native to linux
[18:04] <dr_willis> zgr:  you going to be doing this a lot? or just once?
[18:04] <DJones> Rage: Its not something I've heard of
[18:04] <Terriblist> phpmyadmin is horible
[18:04] <Rage> Oh.
[18:04] <DJones> !find PyTivo
[18:04] <Terriblist> also if you put phpmyadmin on your resume
[18:04] <Rage> well it runs on python and ffmpeg
[18:04] <Terriblist> ppl will run
[18:04] <Terriblist> from you
[18:04] <SolarisB1y> maslo: is the user/alias setup properly?
[18:05] <DJones> Rage: Looks like its not part of the repositories
[18:05] <Rage> hmm
[18:05] <BluesKaj> Rage:  I used pytivo up until 11.10 and it worked well
[18:05] <Terriblist> *DO NOT: put phpmyadmin on your resume
[18:05] <SolarisB1y> lol
[18:05] <n0sq> i don't know who to talk to but something needs to be done to fix emesene or amsn or firefox or all of them or whichever is the actual problem - i'm not sure of what happened but now my wife can no longer access her hotmail account  unless she closes emesene (ubuntu 12.04) AND logs out of hotmail in firefox - then she can log into hotmail and then access her mail but can't open any mail
[18:05] <Rage> it is a third party app
[18:05] <maslo> SolarisB1y: how would I go about looking for that? like I mentioned I don't know much about postfix
[18:05] <maslo> and ubuntu lol
[18:06] <smkatz> maslo
[18:06] <Terriblist> smkatz: install mysql workbench
[18:06] <smkatz> you looking to configure postfix?
[18:06] <maslo> yeah
[18:06] <llutz> maslo: check your main.cf again "Dec 21 21:32:47 mathzx postfix/smtpd[9798]: warning: unknown smtpd restriction: "check_relay_domain""
[18:06] <sitwon> ok, so I have the proprietary drivers installed and working. and now I have Steam installed
[18:06] <sitwon> wasn't L4D2 ported to Linux?
[18:06] <maslo> llutz: checking right now
[18:06] <DJones> Rage: You probably need to check with the 3rd party developer, they're most likely to be able to help
[18:06] <SolarisB1y> yea was going to mention your relay_domains is balnk also
[18:06]  * n0sq doesn't know if trying a different distro will fix the problem
[18:07] <SolarisB1y> but the error comes on the RCPT TO command
[18:07] <Rage> I'm looking for an irc chatroom for pytivo right now
[18:07] <smkatz> terriblist, I'm really just trying to install drupal
[18:07] <dr_willis> !alis
[18:07] <astra05> hey guys
[18:07] <maslo> relayhost should be what SolarisB1y?
[18:07] <Terriblist> smkatz: so whats the problem
[18:07] <smkatz> I created several databases during this process via db_common
[18:07] <Terriblist> drupal is very friendly
[18:07] <zgr> dr_willis: i need it for tesseract-ocr training. I print some text, scan it, parse scan with tesseract and after that need to fix each char, so I wanted to do it with sed but I don't know it(
[18:07] <smkatz> but the drupal auto-installer failed
[18:07] <smkatz> apt-get install drupal7
[18:08] <smkatz> so I am installing it manually
[18:08] <astra05> does anyone know anything about install ubuntu on arm a8 laptops?
[18:08] <smkatz> and i am to the point of creating the database
[18:08] <astra05> like the Avatar AVRA-138A1
[18:08] <smkatz> but I've already created some
[18:08] <dr_willis> zgr:  i think you will need more then sed. most likely awk can do it.  the #bash guys may know better ways. You could almost do it with just bash and the cut/paste commands.. but been years since i last used them
[18:08] <smkatz> so I want to see if I can use or delete those
[18:08] <dr_willis> zgr:  awk definatly shoul dbe able to do it
[18:08] <smkatz> I figured i would setup phpmyadmin at the same time
[18:08] <zgr> dr_willis: thanks will google that way
[18:09] <BluesKaj> Rage: http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Install
[18:09] <maslo> llutz / SolarisB1y removed the delay thingy and gets this in the bounced message : The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1
[18:09] <Terriblist> smkatz: but why
[18:09] <llutz> maslo: where do you have the "check_relay_domains" from? wasn't it replaced long time ago by "reject_unauth_destination"
[18:09] <Terriblist> you are just wasting your time
[18:10] <willem> hi, has anyone here managed to install nvidia proprietary drivers on ubuntu 12.10 and still have a desktop environment left afterwards?
[18:10] <maslo> llutz lol from outdated tutorials I'm assuming
[18:10] <mohamedalaa98> Hi guys :D how can I get my application in USC?
[18:10] <dr_willis> willemvds:  the nvidia drivers work for most people.
[18:10] <llutz> maslo: you shouldn't use those. get actual ones from postfix.org or ubuntu.forums
[18:11] <smkatz> terribist, what do you think I should do?
[18:11] <smkatz> create a new database from the command line
[18:11] <Terriblist> sure
[18:11] <SolarisB1y> the postfix basic configuration is pretty straight forward
[18:11] <Terriblist> or use mysql workbench
[18:11] <SolarisB1y> on postfix.org that is
[18:11] <willemvds> dr_willis: i tried installing it through ubuntu additional drivers, then myself, then using ubuntuextreme script - no luck either way
[18:12] <nookk> hi
[18:12] <Terriblist> learn to connect a mysql tool to the database
[18:12] <SolarisB1y> http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html
[18:12] <willemvds> friend of mine also tried it at work and also had issues
[18:12] <Terriblist> instaead of installing a mysql web tool on your website
[18:12] <Terriblist> because its tarded
[18:13] <smkatz> why will mysql workbench work any better than phpmyadmin?
[18:13] <nookk> ubuntu 8.04.4 is good or not?
[18:13] <Terriblist> yes
[18:13] <Terriblist> because
[18:13] <Terriblist> omg
[18:13] <smkatz> look. I can't login to the setup page
[18:13] <smkatz> this tells me that the mysql password and username don't appear to be correct
[18:14] <smkatz> or it's not connected correctly as you say
[18:14] <nookk> Terriblist, the answer was for me?
[18:14] <smkatz> do you know how to fix this?
[18:14] <Terriblist> smkatz: can you access your mysql ?
[18:14] <Terriblist> in shell
[18:15] <dcherniv> smkatz, mysql -u root -p
[18:16] <Terriblist> now were talking
[18:16] <dr_willis> willemvds:  most likely depends on the chipset.
[18:16] <smkatz> this should also help
[18:16] <dr_willis> willemvds:  my 5 nvidia systems worked with no issues.
[18:16] <smkatz> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin
[18:16] <willemvds> i have 560ti
[18:16] <smkatz> I think I did set a password terriblist
[18:17] <dcherniv> smkatz, setting phpmyadmin facing outside world is stupid.
[18:17] <smkatz> dccherniv, don't worry
[18:18] <maslo> actually llutz I got the check relay from mail.log ' fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, reject_unauth_destination, reject, defer or defer_if_permit'
[18:18] <dcherniv> smkatz, im not worried its not my install :)
[18:18] <gmachine_24> so.....my docs folder is 400mb... I have several back ups including one online, which, of course, I really don't trust - but the data is 256-bit encrypted. my ? is I want to back up the data to a thumb drive using truecrypt to create a partition on the jump drive. I can't think of any reason not to do this - but thought I'd ask here first. Sorry this was so long.
[18:19] <michael0243> gmachine_24: That sounds pretty straightforward and doable
[18:19] <gmachine_24> michael0243, that's what I think. But, you know . . . there always seems to be something . . . but thanks for the input. :)
[18:20] <michael0243> gmachine_24: basically any storage drive in linux is the same thing(with some abstraction in there) so you can do pretty much anything on any type of storage that you want if you can do it on others
[18:20] <pbxbrian> Hi Hi
[18:21] <pbxbrian> quick bit of help with a dependency issue please?
[18:21] <pbxbrian> I'm running 12.04
[18:21] <pbxbrian> trying to install a package and I'm getting Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1) but it is not installable
[18:21] <Terriblist> smkatz: forget phpmyadmin
[18:21] <Terriblist> its not going to help you do anything
[18:21] <smkatz> dcherniv, how do I take appropriate precautions?
[18:21] <pbxbrian> but perl5.14.2 is installed
[18:21] <smkatz> lots of people do install it....
[18:21] <pbxbrian> how do I get around this...?
[18:21] <Terriblist> smkatz: !!!
[18:22] <Terriblist> do you need to reset your mysql root pass
[18:22] <Terriblist> i can help you do that
[18:22] <gmachine_24> michael0243, ok, thanks. I am a 99 percent Linux person but still keep a dozer around for scanning....
[18:22] <dcherniv> smkatz, dont use phpmyadmin
[18:22] <smkatz> Terriblist, look I'm new. sorry, I don't mean to be ignoring you
[18:22] <smkatz> ok.
[18:22] <smkatz> how do I remove it?
[18:22] <Terriblist> why does he think phpmyadmin will fix his stuff?????
[18:22] <Terriblist> :()
[18:22] <Terriblist> :O
[18:22] <smkatz> I don't think it will.
[18:23] <smkatz> I'm aware my problem is deeper than PHPMyAdmin
[18:23] <dcherniv> smkatz, i cant count the number of times people's sites were infected through phpmyadmin in my practice
[18:23] <michael0243> pbxbrian: sudo apt-get install libperl ?
[18:23] <smkatz> ok. good to know
[18:23] <Detox_at_Work> please help... I installed ubuntu and it created a home folder 75% of HD  can I adjust now, keeping the HD intact or must I reinstall fresh
[18:23] <dcherniv> smkatz, whats the problem you're having anywayt
[18:23] <smkatz> tell me how to remove it
[18:23] <pbxbrian> michael0243: if only it was that easy :)
[18:23] <pbxbrian> libperl 5.14.2 is installed
[18:23] <pbxbrian> but this package is looking for libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1)
[18:24] <gmachine_24> Detox_at_Work, you can change the partition sizes
[18:24] <smkatz> dcherniv, I'm trying to cleanup. I ran the drupal auto-installer
[18:24] <smkatz> it failed
[18:24] <Detox_at_Work> I only have 1 partition
[18:24] <smkatz> I need to get rid of that database
[18:24] <pbxbrian> 5.14.2 is >= 5.10.1
[18:24] <Detox_at_Work> 1 hd
[18:24] <pbxbrian> grrrrrrrrrr
[18:24] <n0sq> apparently, i can only access hotmail with windows now
[18:24] <smkatz> and also remove phpmyadmin
[18:24] <michael0243> detox_at_work: use parted. It is a GUI to do that. Pretty simple. Good a tutorial. MAKE BACKUPS!
[18:24] <gmachine_24> Detox_at_Work, so then what is the problem?
[18:24] <n0sq> grrrrrr, also
[18:24] <smkatz> n0sq
[18:24] <smkatz> how are you trying to access hotmail?
[18:24] <smkatz> through a web browser?
[18:24] <Detox_at_Work> I am using it for big blue button server
[18:24] <smkatz> or a client? (thunderbird)
[18:24] <michael0243> pbxbrian: that shouldn't happen. Interesting
[18:25] <n0sq> smkatz: with amsn or emesene
[18:25] <gmachine_24> Detox_at_Work, so then what is the problem????????????????????????
[18:25] <Detox_at_Work> and once I iinstalled it,, HD is shown as full
[18:25] <Terriblist> wow
[18:25] <dcherniv> smkatz, login to mysql as root
[18:25] <Detox_at_Work> i have to shrink the home folder
[18:25] <dcherniv> smkatz, mysql -uroot -p
[18:25] <dcherniv> smkatz, drop database DRUPALDATABASE
[18:25] <Terriblist> mysql -u root -p
[18:25] <n0sq> smkatz: but, when i manually login with the browser the links to the mailbox don't work
[18:25] <Detox_at_Work> there is only 1 partition on the hd
[18:25] <hsnmck> I just installed xubuntu and I chosen to encrypt my home folder.. I'm trying to change enter my passphrase but it's giving me Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]. Is there a way to change the passphrase ? I'm logged in!
[18:26] <gmachine_24> Detox_at_Work, if your home folder is just a folder you can't shrink the size... unless it's on a separate partition...... I think
[18:26] <pbxbrian> I think the easiest solution to this problem is debian squeeze
[18:26] <smkatz> can I list the databases on the system?
[18:26] <Terriblist> dcherniv: he cant lol
[18:26] <smkatz> using mysql?
[18:26] <dcherniv> smkatz, drop user DRUPALUSER
[18:26] <Detox_at_Work> yes
[18:26] <michael0243> detox_at_work: then your hard drive isn't big enough assuming your partition is as big as the hard drive.
[18:26] <smkatz> ok. I have the information I need
[18:26] <Detox_at_Work> is 250 gig hd
[18:26] <Terriblist> smkatz: are you in mysql now?
[18:26] <n0sq> smkatz: but, the links work when i use IE
[18:26] <michael0243> detox_at_work: so that means you have 75% of 250gig used.
[18:26] <Detox_at_Work> fresh install of ubuntu and 1 prog that fits on a pen drive
[18:26] <Terriblist> can you type: show databases;
[18:26] <n0sq> i guess i should try konquerer
[18:26] <dcherniv> smkatz, show databases; will list dbs
[18:27] <gmachine_24> Detox_at_Work, why do you want to shrink the size of the home folder?
[18:27] <Detox_at_Work> is not needed
[18:27] <guest-PGlwoz> a
[18:27] <smkatz> alright, you guys great
[18:27] <smkatz> thanks
[18:27] <Detox_at_Work> software is in /opt and /var
[18:27] <Terriblist> dcherniv: lol
[18:27] <Terriblist> smkatz: is so LOL
[18:27] <Detox_at_Work> there is nothing in home folder either
[18:27] <dcherniv> heh
[18:27] <Detox_at_Work> 1 help deoc i created that is mayby 50k
[18:27] <gmachine_24> Detox_at_Work, well then it's not taking up much space
[18:27] <gmachine_24> :)
[18:28] <Detox_at_Work> yes
[18:28] <smkatz> Terriblist: my ubuntu system isn't fully functional yet, so I'm getting advice from another computer
[18:28] <michael0243> detox_at_work: go get us a sudo parted -l pastebin
[18:28] <smkatz> n0sq
[18:28] <Detox_at_Work> but when I look at gui or nf -s it shows hd = 100 full
[18:28] <smkatz> are you getting an error message when you access hotmail?
[18:28] <Terriblist> jesus smkatz
[18:28] <Detox_at_Work> and shows /home as using all the space
[18:28] <Terriblist> how much problemz do u haz?
[18:28] <michael0243> detox_at_work: nf?
[18:28] <Terriblist> all at once
[18:28] <smkatz> Terriblist, not very many
[18:29] <gmachine_24> he's making my head hurt
[18:29] <smkatz> but the screen resolution isn't right... :-)
[18:29] <Detox_at_Work> ok will hve to go across to other pc logging out of this now
[18:29] <smkatz> I know, I know
[18:29] <smkatz> bb when I get my head examined
[18:29] <maslo> SolarisB1y / llutz should I just uninstall postfix and the configurations and just install everything again to get the basic default conf and start from there?
[18:30] <Terriblist> argh stupid floats
[18:30] <Terriblist> i minus int from float and what hapenz?
[18:30] <llutz> maslo:make a copy of your configs, then" sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix"
[18:31] <mom_> hi need help regarding wireless driver
[18:31] <gmachine_24> mom_ can you tell us what the problem is?

[18:32] <PDun> I know this is blasphemy, but does anyone know how to make a bootable thumb drive for windows 2000 within Ubuntu?
[18:32] <mom_> acutally installed zorin
[18:32] <mom_> and my wireless driver is not detecting
[18:33] <Sven_vB> PDun, i'd try dosbox (package name)
[18:33] <gmachine_24> mom_ you mean your wireless card isn't being recognized...........??
[18:33] <mom_> yes u r right
[18:33] <DJones> mom_: We don't support zorin, its not an official version of ubuntu
[18:33] <xangua> mom_: ask in the zorin support channel, forum, mail list, wathever they yse ;)
[18:33] <mom_> theres windows wireless driver app
[18:34] <mom_> i tried that but
[18:34] <mom_> its doesnt respond and hangs
[18:34] <DJones> mom_: zorin isn't supported here
[18:34] <mom_> oho ok
[18:35] <mom_> i heard it had similar issue in ubuntu also that y i asked
[18:35] <mitico08> ciao a tutti
[18:35] <mitico08> !
[18:35] <Terriblist> PDun: download win2000 iso
[18:35] <Terriblist> burn it on usb with unetbootin
[18:35] <gmachine_24> mom_ did you go here http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ZorinOS&uio=OT10cnVlJjExPTIxNQ6c
[18:36] <mitico08> list
[18:38] <PDun> Terriblist - I have an iso
[18:38] <Terriblist> so burn it
[18:38] <n0sq> looks like i found my hotmail problem - i'm using a ghostery plugin - when i disable it i can get into hotmail - strange that i didn't have this problem with the ghostery plugin for IE
[18:38] <PDun> Thanks that's what I was looking for knew I had done it like 12 years ago:-)
[18:38] <smkatz> n0sq glad I can help with something...
[18:39] <newroad> hello, I'm been using Remmina to connect to my company's RDP servers, but they've recently changed the default ports of the RDP servers for security reasons. Is there a way I can can change the port that Remmina connects to a specific server on?
[18:39] <n0sq> smkatz: i don't remember you suggesting a plugin problem
[18:39] <smkatz> terriblist switching to linux box now. will read documentation extensively, and come back when I am using linux box irc client
[18:39] <smkatz> n0sq it was sarcasm.
[18:39] <Terriblist> k
[18:39] <smkatz> self-deprecating humor
[18:40] <mom_> thanks gmachine_24
[18:41] <snapdragon_> yeahhhh
[18:42] <khayes_> I only found a wiki guide for installing 10.04 on a MacBook Pro 5,3. Is it likely I could start there and upgrade to 12?
[18:42] <nullby7e> i need DVD image of actual version by ubuntu?
[18:43] <dcherniv> khayes_, you should be able to grab the latest ubuntu and install that
[18:43] <Guest3086> hi room
[18:44] <nullby7e> is there a only cd image for download?
[18:44] <khayes_> dcherniv: Ok, great. Will I have any issues dual booting with my setup? I have a SSD as my system drive and a normal HDD as a secondary but the boot record is on the secondary iirc
[18:47] <Alumin> anybody know where I can find a template on pinning a specific package (or packages) from a given source?  (a PPA, for example)
[18:48] <Alumin> I think I've almost got it, but I'm not quite sure on the syntax.  I don't know if I can use origin since I can't match on just the hostname (all PPAs have the same hostname)
[18:51] <dr_willis> !pin
[18:51] <dr_willis> ive rarely needed to use pinning
[18:55] <[snake]> So I got ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, coming from 32 bit. and now 3d graphics are really really horrible. The funny thing is that I can use anything else on my computer, and it's totally fast while the 3d graphics are running. why are they so slow does anyone have any thoughts? my processor is also not even using it's full capability...
[18:55] <\\Mr_C\\> is there a place that has each linux kernel generic binary already compiled?
[18:56] <dcherniv> \\Mr_C\\, no
[18:56] <dcherniv> \\Mr_C\\, binary kernels are distribution-specific
[18:56] <dcherniv> \\Mr_C\\, there's no "generic" kernel
[18:56] <\\Mr_C\\> oh
[18:56] <\\Mr_C\\> sigh
[18:56] <[snake]> i have majora's mask running at 1 frame per second.
[18:57] <\\Mr_C\\> takes so long to compile
[18:57] <[snake]> yet, my computer is running fine besides that.
[18:57] <[snake]> \\Mr_C\\, just set it to compile then go to work/school and it will be half done when you get back.
[18:57] <dcherniv> \\Mr_C\\, not really, over here with modules i need it takes about 30 minutes
[18:58] <Oliver_> Hey, does Ubuntu have vanilla packages? (e.g. XFCE without customizations)
[18:58] <dr_willis> [snake]:  what video card?
[18:58] <Kniple> Hey Guys, I need some help. I run Xubuntu 12.10, and when I'm on AC Power, the system gets really slow, and speeds up as soon as i unplug the ac-adapter and run on battery power. Anyone of you know what this might be? (I tried to google for it, but couldnt find any relevant information)
[18:58] <dr_willis> Oliver_:  not that ive ever noticed.
[18:58] <Oliver_> hm, okay
[18:58] <[snake]> dr_willis, um... let me pull out my motherboard box, it is the built in nvidia one, I will see what it is specifically.
[18:58] <Kniple> Oliver_: i guess you can log out and choose xfce without the ubuntu constumization?
[18:58] <[snake]> that was a horribly worded sentence lol
[18:58] <dr_willis> [snake]:  you did install the nvidia drivers?
[18:59] <Oliver_> Kniple: Never heard of that
[18:59] <[snake]> dr_willis, yes I installed them.
[18:59] <dkessel> [snake] or you could run "lspci" and pastebin the output
[18:59] <Kniple> well if you log out, you get a drop down with environments, and you can choose xfce classic, and xfce ubuntu, i think.
[18:59] <dr_willis> [snake]:  run nvidia-settings and be sure its using them. Try some native linux 3d games also.
[19:00] <Alumin> dr_willis: already read that, couldn't quite get it working
[19:00] <Alumin> (from that).  However, I think I have in fact got it working :)
[19:02] <Alumin> I'm going to try doing a full regex match against the URI of the source, 'cause really that's the only way to be sure
[19:02] <[snake]> dr_willis, I'm in the nvidia-setting. it says what version it is: 295.40 does that mean it is running that then?
[19:02] <merpnderp> Anyone know if the latest Alienware M14x is fully supported?
[19:02] <Alumin> basing the pin on Origin is nice, and _should_ be authoritative, but it presupposes that the admin of the source doesn't change the Release file
[19:02] <dr_willis> [snake]:  if you were not running them.. then it would have said so when you started up nvidia-settings
[19:02] <strempo> hi
[19:03] <strempo> i've downloaded
[19:03] <[snake]> ok it has them then. dr_willis what else do you think could potentially be the problem?
[19:03] <strempo> ubu 8.04.4
[19:03] <dr_willis> merpnderp:  id say check the forums and askubuntu to see if people report problems with it.  - 'latest' hardware is often the MOST problematic.
[19:03] <Petaz> can I run ubunto on a windows 8 phone?
[19:03] <dr_willis> [snake]:  tried a native 3d linux game? - could be the onboard nvidia is just not that good a 3d card for what you are wanting to do.
[19:03] <merpnderp> dr_willis: thanks
[19:03] <dr_willis> Petaz:  doubtfull.
[19:04] <strempo> dr_willis i've downloaded and installed ubu 8.04.4 but at the beginning it say: gtrld not found
[19:04] <Petaz> what phones can run ubuntu?
[19:04] <strempo> and it doesnt work
[19:04] <dr_willis> Petaz:  none run the natively as far as i know.
[19:04] <[snake]> dr_willis, I tried minecraft before, it was worse. All my graphics worked really well on 32 bit ubuntu 12.04 but now it's not the same on 64 bit :(
[19:04] <khayes_> I just tried booting into 12 from my MBP 5,3 and selected Install Ubuntu. It booted into a black screen with a single yellow Y with a red background
[19:05] <dr_willis> [snake]:  cant say ive notced any issues in 64bit vs 32. but i havent ran 32bit in years
[19:05] <dr_willis> [snake]:  you could do a 32bit install to a flash drive for a test bed to see if preformance is better.
[19:06] <loculinux> eii
[19:06] <loculinux> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[19:06] <[snake]> dr_willis, well, I know that it was better graphics before. but the funny thing is that now, the graphics suck but my computer is running in normal speed. nothing is laggy while I'm running the game, like it was on 32 bit.
[19:06] <[snake]> dr_willis, perhaps I need an older driver or something
[19:06] <strempo> dr_willis i've downloaded and installed ubu 8.04.4 but at the beginning it say: gtrld not found
[19:07] <loculinux> en español
[19:07] <loculinux> wot
[19:07] <DJones> !es | loculinux
[19:07] <dr_willis> strempo:  means very little to me. ive not used 8.x in 4+ years.. and no idea what gtrld means
[19:07] <loculinux> ihavegot
[19:08] <dcherniv> I regret Nozing
[19:08] <dr_willis> strempo:  if that pc is haveing a hard time running the installer. i would either pull the hd and install it from a differnt pc onto the hd. or do a install to a flash drive. then dd/image the flash onto the internal HD.
[19:11] <strempo> no the installation is gone well, but at the restart, doeesn't work, pc say: no gtrldl found  on hd, please reboot
[19:12] <dr_willis> strempo:  sure its not saying 'ntrldr' ?
[19:12] <dr_willis> if its not booting to grub. try the grub fix-boot tools  (aka boot-repair)
[19:13] <Somelauw> I like ubuntu, except the purple theme. Is that a matter of taste or does everyone else like it?
[19:13] <strempo> dr_willis how should i do?
[19:13] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[19:13] <dr_willis> use the boot-repair tool from a live cd would bewhat i would try strempo
[19:14] <dr_willis> Somelauw:  its easy to change themes/colors..
[19:14] <p1l0t> Do you have to reboot for changes in /etc/group to take effect?
[19:14] <dr_willis> p1l0t:  log out/back in
[19:15] <p1l0t> dr_willis: thanks
[19:15] <strempo> dr_willis i've copied ubu on stick no in cd
[19:15] <strempo> but now at the reboot also the stick doesn't work
[19:16] <strempo> now i'm with puppylivecd
[19:16] <p1l0t> dr_willis: It's username:number:group correct?
[19:16] <p1l0t> errr
[19:16] <p1l0t> no
[19:16] <p1l0t> group:number:user_list
[19:16] <dr_willis> ive rarely had to mess with groups.. :) so  i dont recall p1l0t
[19:18] <p1l0t> dr_willis: Do I need to logout from everywhere?
[19:18] <dr_willis> p1l0t:  the group changes will only affect the new login shells/apps
[19:18] <dr_willis> i think
[19:19] <p1l0t> dr_willis: thanks
[19:24] <kevinch> shit
[19:24] <kevinch> i think i screwed something up when I was trying to resize my lvm volume and partition
[19:24] <kevinch> its ext4
[19:24] <kevinch> having trouble fixing it
[19:24] <talntidd> what are the symptoms?
[19:24] <talntidd> and how did you resize it?
[19:24] <kevinch> can't mount
[19:25] <kevinch> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/Media-Media,
[19:25] <talntidd> what happens when you list volumes?
[19:25] <dr_willis> gotta love the generic 'it aint working' error messages
[19:25] <kevinch> yeah sorry for the lack of info
[19:25] <talntidd> show me "/etc/fstab"
[19:26] <dr_willis> dmesg output may give some more info also.
[19:26] <talntidd> and how are you trying to mount it?
[19:26] <kevinch>   --- Physical volume ---
[19:26] <kevinch>   PV Name               /dev/sda1
[19:26] <kevinch>   VG Name               Media
[19:26] <kevinch>   PV Size               1.82 TiB / not usable 3.05 MiB
[19:26] <kevinch>   Allocatable           yes
[19:26] <FloodBot1> kevinch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:26] <kevinch>   PE Size               4.00 MiB
[19:26] <nicholas> anyone who knows witch desktop environment arch Linux is using as standard
[19:26] <talntidd> heh
[19:26] <talntidd> kevinch, use pastebin
[19:26] <kevinch> thats the mount line /dev/Media/Media        /home/admiral/Media ext4 rw,noatime 0 0
[19:26] <kevinch> for this drive
[19:27] <auronandace> nicholas: it doesn't, you choose what you want; this channel is for ubuntu support
[19:27] <kevinch> okay
[19:27] <dr_willis> kevinch:  your command said /dev/maper/media-media  not media/media
[19:27] <nicholas> okay
[19:27] <kevinch> yes thats the feedback i get when I try and mount with sudo mount -a
[19:28] <kevinch> I think the size of the lvm volume and partition aren't the same
[19:28] <kevinch> i think the partition is bigger than the lvm
[19:28] <talntidd> why do you think this?
[19:29] <kevinch> just a hunch, i think i saw something come up yesterday
[19:29] <kevinch> when i was trying to troubleshoot
[19:29] <talntidd> your details are astounding
[19:31] <ViaNocturna85> some of my games scale wrong and show only about 1/3 of the actual screen since its too big, i have intel graphics, anyone know what i could do?
[19:31] <bluwhale> Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a networking solution. I have a Win7 laptop at my desk, and an Ubuntu desktop. Is there any way to share the internet connection between the two of them? The win7 desktop has internet because of its inbuilt wifi, but Ubuntu doesn't. Perhaps I could connect them both with an ethernet connection or something?
[19:32] <kevinch> talntidd what more information could i get for you that would help?
[19:32] <kevinch> I think i did something wrong when i resized the partition and the volume
[19:32] <dr_willis> bluwhale:  windows has internet shareing connection features. (ICS) that can do it.
[19:32] <dr_willis> bluwhale:  you will need either a crossover cable. or 2 normal cables + a hub/port. unless you got GbE ports
[19:32] <Alumin> bluwhale: you can do IP masquerade on the Ubuntu system to share the connection
[19:33] <namidark> My server is randomly losing its DHCP lease and then it refuses to pick up a new one (dhclient just hangs and pings the dhcpserver) -- if i manually configure an IP I can ssh into it, but no domain's resolve, and if I edit resolv.conf to set the nameservers, the domain's still won't resolve... anyone have any ideas?
[19:33] <Alumin> but yeah, as dr_willis said you'll need a crossover cable to connect them if you don't have a hub/switch
[19:33] <bluwhale> dr_willis, Well, I have ethernet ports on both. So can I link them through those?
[19:33] <bluwhale> Alumin, ^^
[19:33] <Alumin> and you'll have to manually configure the networking (i.e. without DHCP) on whichever machine is "behind" the other one
[19:33] <dr_willis> actually  ive seen some Normal 100speed Nic ports that can auto switch. :) but nmot sure how common they are
[19:33] <kevinch> bluewhale you may not need crossover if one of the NIC's auto configures and knows its a crossover
[19:34] <kevinch> *not a crossover
[19:34] <dr_willis> I thinl all the 1000 speed Gigibit ports can do it.
[19:34] <Alumin> bluwhale: sure, but you may need a cxrossover cable depending on your NIC hardware
[19:34] <JoshDreamland> Seems Ubuntu has decided to call immediate system reboot without prompt as soon as updates finish. How do I make it not do that?
[19:35] <dr_willis> I guess that Raspberry Pi has one of these smart NIC ports. ;) from what ive read of its specs.. not seen it on any other desktop/laptops. but most new ones have Gigibit.
[19:35] <bluwhale> Ok, thanks for the tips guys. I think I'll do more research.
[19:35] <bluwhale> Based on your suggestions.
[19:35] <Alumin> namidark: can you ping the nameservers themselves?
[19:35] <Alumin> bluwhale: if you want the MSW box to be the "master", look up Internet Connection Sharing
[19:35] <Alumin> if you want the Ubuntu box to handle it, look up IP masquerade
[19:37] <Alumin> you might want to look up the pinout for a crossover cable as well, in case you need to make one
[19:37] <dr_willis> always handy to have a crossover cable, or a little converter/dongle in the pc toolbox
[19:37] <Alumin> I can't remember the orange/white, orange, brown/white, brown, blue, fuchsia, teal, silver...whatever
[19:37] <Alumin> heh
[19:39] <bluwhale> Thanks guys.
[19:40] <new-to-this> hi
[19:41] <namidark> Alumin: yeah i can ping by IP
[19:41] <new-to-this> excuse my lack of knowledge, but i would like some advise trying to run a command that would search for all .mp4 files and then execute vlc with those files in it. im came up with this but it doesnt excute vlc. Please advise ? find . -iname "*.mp4" -exec  '{}' /usr/bin/vlc \
[19:42] <p1l0t> I just made a directory with dr-------T 0_o
[19:42] <namidark> Alumin: actually I take that back, I can't
[19:42] <Alumin> aha!
[19:42] <p1l0t> chmod says it doesn't exist but I see with ls
[19:42] <new-to-this> excuse my lack of knowledge, but i would like some advise trying to run a command that would search for all .mp4 files and then execute vlc with those files in it. im came up with this but it doesnt excute vlc. Please advise ? find . -iname "*.mp4" -exec  '{}' /usr/bin/vlc \; even
[19:42] <Alumin> new-to-this: I think you mean
[19:43] <namidark> Alumin: the two other servers on the same switch, have dhcp leases fine, but their route table is definitely different, I'm missing a route on the bad server
[19:43] <Alumin> find . -iname '*.mp4' -exec /usr/bin/vlc '{}' \;
[19:43] <dr_willis> that might run an instance of vlc for each file.. may not be what you want. ;)
[19:43] <new-to-this> Alumin: yes i do
[19:43] <new-to-this> it doesnt return anything
[19:43] <Alumin> I don't second-guess the question.  :)  But yes, you're right, he probably wants xargs
[19:44] <Alumin> it doesn't?
[19:44] <new-to-this> not for me no
[19:44] <Alumin> hmm...looks reasonable to me
[19:44] <dr_willis> spaces in file names may also goof things up
[19:44] <namidark> Alumin: here are the two routing tables; https://gist.github.com/4355252
[19:44] <p1l0t> What does dr-------T mean?? I get drwxrwxrwx or dr-xr----- but what is dr-------T
[19:44] <new-to-this> if i run "/usr/bin/vlc" i get vlc up
[19:44] <dr_willis> have it test with doing an 'echo' of the file names.. instead of using vlc.
[19:45] <strempo> hi the name is grlde
[19:45] <strempo> grldr
[19:45] <dr_willis> -exec echo .......
[19:45] <puff> is there any way for "apt-get show" or some similar command to see which repo a particular package is coming from?
[19:45] <Alumin> namidark: well, assuming the one server is supposed to have eth0 and the other br0
[19:45] <[snake]> dr_willis, :DDDDDDDDDD I fixed it!!!!! I installed the version-current-updates and now I have 3d working!! I never saw the version-current-updates before :P
[19:45] <Alumin> I'm assuming that's not the problem
[19:45] <[snake]> dr_willis, thanks!
[19:45] <Alumin> your obvious problem is that the "bad" route table has no default route :)
[19:46] <alexwaters> i am trying to run a process as a service. when i do sudo start - it dies with this error in syslog: kernel: init: main process terminated with status 134. how can i look up that error code to find out what is breaking?
[19:46] <namidark> Alumin: once I've been getting dhcp working I just add the bridge and dhclient the bridge and it picks up the IP, essentially they're all using eth0 in br0
[19:46] <new-to-this> ah found the answer
[19:46] <new-to-this> the files for some reason are .mp4.
