[00:06] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu"      And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again, and within ~10 seconds, or after logging
[00:06] <DeltaHeavy> how to fox this?
[00:06] <DeltaHeavy> fix8
[00:06] <ubuntivitiy> * is actually ubuntiv, but thrown out due to network issue
[00:06]  * ubuntivitiy is actually ubuntiv, but thrown out due to network issue
[00:07] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: what's the last thing you saw from me?
[00:07] <zephyr> Is there a simple way to remove Unity and return to the older Gnome?
[00:07] <ubuntivitiy> ulkesh: I asked you about if DNS was necessary, and saw nothing after that
[00:07] <DeltaHeavy> zephyr: There's a "GNOME2 Fallback Mode" IIRC, which is what you probably want.
[00:07] <ubuntu22> can anyone help me to get skype video calling to work in 12.04?  My camera works in skype 'options' where i can select the device, it properly displays the camera feed and I can see myself, but I cannot select the 'video button' while in a skype call.  Using the newest version btw..
[00:07] <mojtaba> Does anybody know how can I reduce the size of many photos in Command line?
[00:07] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: it's not necessary, but it means you'd have to know your IP address (and have a static IP)
[00:07] <zephyr> DeltaHeavy, is Gnome no longer being developed?
[00:08] <DeltaHeavy> zephyr: It is, in the form of GNOME 3 which is pretty different than GNOME 2. I'm not a fan of it. MATE is a fork of the GNOME 2 project which is still being developed.
[00:08] <ubuntivitiy> ulkesh: or even when the IP is not static, I simply have to know what it became and connect to it, right?
[00:08] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: yes, correct
[00:08] <zephyr> mojtaba, http://www.howtogeek.com/109369/how-to-quickly-resize-convert-modify-images-from-the-linux-terminal/
[00:09] <gordonjcp> ubuntivitiy: hi
[00:09] <gordonjcp> ubuntivitiy: you pinged out
[00:09] <zephyr> DeltaHeavy, gotcha, thanks!
[00:09] <mojtaba> zephyr: Thanks
[00:09] <gordonjcp> ubuntivitiy: so it looks like you just set up port forwarding on your router as normal and you're golden
[00:09] <ubuntivitiy> hi, gordonjcp . It appeared for me as if the channel went suddenly silent!
[00:10] <ubuntivitiy> That's what I plan to do inshallah.. Wish me luck :)
[00:10] <DeltaHeavy> Ugh...why is my Ubuntu dead T_T I need it to work
[00:10] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: there's software for dyndns.org that will auto-update the dns every so often...some routers actually have this built-in to their firmware and can be configured via the web interface as well
[00:11] <ubuntivitiy> ulkesh: what should it be called in the router menus?
[00:11] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: what should what be called? (time to be specific :) )
[00:12] <ubuntivitiy> the software feature built-in into router firmware :)
[00:12] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu"      And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again,  after logging in I get the same error. A
[00:12] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: i would expect you'd see something like "Dynamic DNS" as a menu option...if you don't, you'd simply have to download some software onto a computer in your network and have it run all the time...there is a daemon for linux for dyndns.org as well
[00:12] <ubuntivitiy> I feel I'm being thrown away again!
[00:13] <DeltaHeavy> ubuntivitiy: I believe the daemon ulkesh is talking about is 'ddclient'
[00:13] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: yeah that sounds familiar (haven't run it in some time)
[00:13] <DeltaHeavy> ubuntivitiy: Are you trying to yeild the same results as a static external address?
[00:13] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: well he's trying to get ssh inbound, but i suggested dynamic dns as well to help (once his port forward is done)
[00:14] <ubuntivitiy> ulkesh: I remember seeing a "dynamic DNS" in my router, but not sure where to find it :/
[00:14] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: i'm sorry, i won't know
[00:14] <DeltaHeavy> ulkesh: What's the make/model of the router?
[00:14] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: i'd google your router name/type and dynamic dns to see if you can get a screenshot of your web config
[00:15] <DeltaHeavy> I've never heard of a router offering dynamic DNS services.
[00:15] <ubuntivitiy> just did so, ulkesh , loading a related page :_
[00:15] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: a dlink something :) don't really know, i was just trying to help him verify his router terminates his internet address so he could at least work on port forwarding for ssh
[00:15] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: my netgear N750 does
[00:15] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: it is just a client, not a service
[00:16] <DeltaHeavy> Yeah, before port forwarding SSH I suggest you worry about actually accessing your home network. Gotta do them both so w/e.
[00:16] <ubuntivitiy> found it :)
[00:16] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: but it allows you not to have to install it on a machine on the network
[00:16] <DeltaHeavy> ulkesh: You still need a server for a client, that's what I'd call a service :p
[00:16] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: well they go hand-in-hand :)
[00:16] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: yes, i told him dyndns.org
[00:16] <ubuntivitiy> and it has already an entry for dyndns.org
[00:16] <DeltaHeavy> Yeah, I suggest dyndns.org
[00:17] <DeltaHeavy> ubuntivitiy: If you need a deamon to update your entry I suggest ddclient.  A lot easy to manage than 2 native installations IMO.
[00:18] <comradzilla> just to run one script
[00:18] <comradzilla> vm? virtual manager?
[00:18] <comradzilla> i'm green, speak engrish please :)
[00:18] <DeltaHeavy> comradzilla: Virtual Machine. I suggest VirtualBox for Windows.
[00:19] <comradzilla> okay thank you
[00:19] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu"      And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again,  after logging in I get the same error. A
[00:19] <DeltaHeavy> comradzilla: No problem.
[00:19] <daftykins> ulkesh: dyndns stopped doing free sadly. noip is best now
[00:19] <ubuntivitiy> I'll put the Dynamic DNS issue away for now, I'll just try to get a successful SSH connection from outside my network, if done successfully, then I can care for the DNS stuff.. Thanks ulkesh , gordonjcp , and everyone else who helped me in this issue
[00:19] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: most welcome, good luck!
[00:19] <ulkesh> daftykins: really? dang, i've had an account for at least 10 years so i dunno anymore :)
[00:20] <comradzilla> is virtual box free?
[00:20] <ulkesh> comradzilla: yes
[00:20] <DeltaHeavy> comradzilla: Yes
[00:20] <ubuntivitiy> Thanks ulkesh , http://www.dnsdynamic.org/ can replace dyndns,org, right?
[00:20] <daftykins> ulkesh: yeah they seem to honour existing ones, although i got an email the other day saying they now require monthly login to keep free accounts going =/ not even client updates are enough to keep your account
[00:20] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: don't know, check to see what your router can configure to
[00:21] <DeltaHeavy> ubuntivitiy: Looks like their client was made for Windows.
[00:21] <ulkesh> daftykins: hmm, well if they're cheap enough i don't mind paying, but it better be like $3/mo/host :)
[00:21] <DeltaHeavy> Yeah, dyndns isn't a lot of money to shell out, especially if you're buying annually.
[00:21] <daftykins> ^_^
[00:21] <ubuntivitiy> dlinkddns.com is provided on my router
[00:21] <comradzilla> VirtualBox 4.2.12 for Windows hosts  x86/amd64 <--- that's what i need correct?
[00:22] <Aww> So does something like "774897664 bytes (775 MB) copied, 110.046 s, 7.0 MB/s
[00:22] <Aww> " mean dd is done copying?
[00:22] <DeltaHeavy> ubuntivitiy: I'd say that may be the best route to go
[00:22] <ulkesh> DeltaHeavy: cool, thanks
[00:22] <DeltaHeavy> Aww: Yep
[00:22] <daftykins> Aww: if it returned to the prompt yes
[00:22] <DeltaHeavy> ulkesh: np
[00:22] <Aww> Okay, it just did thanks :D
[00:22] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: honestly, conceptually i think you're set, just figure out what's easiest for you for dynamic dns...it really doesn't matter what service it is as long as it's easy for you and works
[00:22] <ubuntivitiy> Good, DeltaHeavy . Thanks
[00:22] <nogal> hey, i'm having an issue with ubuntu specifically. No other distro seems to have this issue... I set my TTY to run in VGA mode, which works perfectly, but every time I reload X and then drop back to a TTY my vertical resoltion goes bonkers and I've got to run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup again in order to reset the value to show correctly. After dpkg-reconfigure it seems to update initfrms but it isn't persistent. Any ideas?
[00:23] <ubuntu22> can anyone help me to get skype video calling to work in 12.04?  My camera works in skype 'options' where i can select the device, it properly displays the camera feed and I can see myself, but I cannot select the 'video button' while in a skype call.  Using the newest version btw..
[00:23] <ubuntivitiy> I gotta go sleep now, Thanks again and good night everybode
[00:23] <ubuntivitiy> *everybody
[00:23] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: g'nite
[00:23] <DeltaHeavy> Night, I'm going to give up on my issue for the time being and punch out till later. Thanks to anybody who read my question!
[00:23]  * ubuntivitiy is feeling happy to be in such a nice IRC channel
[00:24] <ulkesh> ubuntivitiy: it's a pay-it-forward thing :)  we all got help at some point, and still need help from time to time as well
[00:24] <comradzilla> ya, you're all very helpful
[00:24] <comradzilla> thanks guys
[00:25] <daftykins> indeed
[00:25] <daftykins> can someone get me my chocolate from the kitchen? this sofa is seriously comfy...
[00:25] <ulkesh> daftykins: time to build a robot with some arduino/raspberry pi :)
[00:25] <daftykins> one that can navigate stairs
[00:26] <ubuntv> ulkesh: of course :) In the future, if I see someone asking about DDNS and stuff I can explain to them what I learned today :))
[00:26] <ulkesh> daftykins: hell yes!
[00:26] <nogal> Should I try editing my grub settings? Would that pull through?
[00:26] <ulkesh> ubuntv: awesome, thanks and again good luck!
[00:26] <ks_> any idea where log is being written if I use 'log_end_msg 0' in my startup script?
[00:27] <nogal> ks_: probably in /var/log/?
[00:28] <ks_> nogal:  apparently, but nothing there
[00:30] <deckard> hello. I have a question regarding volume. I see i can raise the volume above 100%, what does this mean?
[00:31] <nogal> is it a bug in dpkg-configure, should I try working with initramfs manually instead?
[00:32] <ulkesh> night all, time to prepare for some Game of Thrones :)
[00:33] <bng> hi all, can you help me, please? my unity lost window decorations and the desktop is barely usable :/
[00:34] <Znoosey> open a terminal, then find the pid of compiz and kill it
[00:34] <Znoosey> it should restart again and things will be fine
[00:34] <bng> Znoosey: it now happens after each reboot, but I will try it
[00:35] <Znoosey> it used to happen to me all the time
[00:35] <Znoosey> there was some patches a while back that made it better
[00:35] <Znoosey> but it still crashes from time to time
[00:35] <Falon> is there a game like the old wArcraft i believe it was called freecraft or something for ubuntu?
[00:36] <nogal> ugh got kicked offline...
[00:36] <bng> Znoosey: like "killall compiz"?
[00:36] <bng> that doesnt help
[00:37] <nogal> anyway, i'm still having this issue with my TTY windows where each time I load X it seems to update my console data to use far too much vertical space than my montitor will allow. I can run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup which temporarily alleviates the problem, but every time I load X it screws up again
[00:38] <bng> Znoosey: I'm on 13.4, using intel graphics, I have been installing some packages and also installed some nvidia driver by accident (stupid I suppose...), then I uninstalled it again
[00:38] <Znoosey> bng, that is the only solution i have found... that or rebooting :/ but as rebooting does that to your computer it might just mess it up more
[00:39] <bng> Znoosey: the problem appeared only after I booted up again
[00:39] <bng> thanks for the tip Znoosey
[00:39] <ubuntu22> bng, ps -A | grep -i compiz then kill with kill <pid>
[00:40] <bng> ubuntu22: it's already killed it seems, that doesnt return anything
[00:41] <comradzilla> okay, i just got virtualbox
[00:41] <comradzilla> any tips to make ubuntu and easy installation?
[00:41] <bng> I can move some of the windows for wxample terminal, but no windows have the window decoration
[00:42] <bng> and I have no unity panel also
[00:42] <comradzilla> an*
[00:44] <bng> I've just learned that there is not process with unity in it's name running, when I run "unity" in terminal it gives me some errors
[00:45] <bng> st. like" compiz (opengl) - fatal: glxquerry... is null for screen 0
[00:47] <ubuntu22> can anyone help me to get skype video calling to work in 12.04?  My camera works in skype 'options' where i can select the device, it properly displays the camera feed and I can see myself, but I cannot select the 'video button' while in a skype call.  Using the newest version btw..
[00:47] <bng> is there maybe a package I should reinstall? I am on intel graphics
[00:49] <nogal> i really hope i didn't just break grub
[00:49] <nogal> gonna reboot and see if i solved my issue myself here
[00:49] <nogal> brb
[00:51] <bng> lightdm is the login screen or is it something with window management?
[00:55] <nogal> ugh well that didn't go as planned
[00:55] <bng> should I maybe sudo dkpg-reconfigure some packages? the last time I had an issue like this was several releases back... :/
[00:56] <deadlyninja> ubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.8.0-23-generic  im trying to add a bitmap to an array built with mdadm. mdadm accepts my command, then when i look at /proc/mdstat the bitmap information seems wrong and i get error messages in dmesg
[00:57] <deadlyninja> heres the kernel error: http://pastebin.com/aqHJXhhY
[00:57] <taqutor> Knock knock.
[00:57] <taqutor> Knock knock.
[00:57] <deadlyninja> and heres the /proc/mdstat  http://pastebin.com/YmAV8arK
[00:59] <mood629> No! Am I in trouble now?! http://i.imgur.com/7uICLJ8.png
[00:59] <mood629> How is this possible? I've been using Ubuntu for a week and installed nothing out of the repository!
[01:00] <deadlyninja> perhaps its a false positive
[01:01] <MelRay> !named.conf
[01:01] <nogal> sudo vim grub
[01:01] <nogal> wrong terminal sorry
[01:01] <ks_> can I imitate login to local desktop in a startup script?
[01:02] <mood629> deadlyninja: Perhaps?!
[01:02] <ks_> at the moment I have rdesktop -u ubuntu -p abc localhost in /etc/init.d/parallelSession start, but looks like it doesn't kick in at all.
[01:03] <deadlyninja> mood629: why dont you check
[01:03] <MelRay> ubuntu server 12.04 I don't see my dns entries in /etc/bind/named.conf or any others...but dig local shows the domain and ip associated. Would it be storing the live file some where else?
[01:03] <mood629> deadlyninja: What are you talking about?   Clients can connect to server via program and http. both receive erros.  clients connecting via sync program receive: server replied: service Temporarily Unavailable
[01:06] <TheUsD_> Http clients receive: failed to connect to database
[01:08] <bng> I'm not a bot, and if anybody could help me with my unity, that would be great! :)
[01:09] <madprops> none of them knew they were robots
[01:10]  * Dr_willis likes FemBots
[01:11] <carpediembaby> hi, has someone been able to make skype work on ubuntu 13.04?
[01:11] <carpediembaby> it crashes for me whenever i try to make audio or video calls
[01:11] <Dr_willis> carpediembaby,  i recall there being some tweaks and fix's and work arounds mentioned from time to time. askubuntu.com may have a list of them
[01:11] <paul__> did you install the NVIDIA card?
[01:12] <paul__> When you install the NVIDIA drivers for ubuntu 13.04 it causes Skype to crash
[01:12] <paul__> This is a possible cause
[01:13] <ks_> skype is crap
[01:13]  * ks_ uses really secure chat software
[01:13] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/285642/skype-crashes-with-a-segmentation-fault/285916#285916
[01:13] <paul__> personally I prefer the new Google Hangouts, seems to work very well with Ubuntu
[01:14] <bng> and fuck nvidia too
[01:14] <bng> :)
[01:14] <paul__> Install Chrome and the Hangouts extension
[01:15] <Hexagonite> Does LogMeIn work on Ubuntu?
[01:16] <Dr_willis> their website dosent mention linux.
[01:16] <Hexagonite> I meant accessing someone else's machine?
[01:17] <Hexagonite> I don't want to go back to Windows. :(
[01:17] <Dr_willis> theres other remote access methods then  'logmein'
[01:17] <Dr_willis> so details of what you want to do.. will help us help you
[01:17] <Hexagonite> I'll just try logging in then
[01:18] <paul__> ubuntu has remote desktop, and SSH access, if you enable them
[01:18] <bng> regarding my unity screwup, the graphics recovery option from boot menu under kernel 3.8 is not able to repair my problem
[01:18] <Dr_willis> vnc, ssh, teamviewer,   others i bet i never have used... ;)
[01:18] <paul__> NVIDIA?
[01:19] <python|pi> If I ssh to localhost (if that's a good idea) does that mean my whole system is encrypted or only that ssh session i that shell?
[01:19] <ks_> haha bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
[01:19] <madprops> mind sharing the name
[01:20] <madprops> oh that came out late, ks_ I was refering to your secure chat software
[01:20] <Dr_willis> python|pi,  encryptd in what way?  ssh uses encryption for its data..
[01:20] <python|pi> all of my internet traffic Dr_willis
[01:20] <ks_> madprops: Jitsi
[01:20] <Dr_willis> python|pi,  you doing a ssh tunnel? or what?
[01:20] <paul__> Jitsi has potential, but it's buggy
[01:20] <python|pi> browser and everything I type Dr_willis be it browser, messengers etc
[01:21] <paul__> pidgin with OTR is better for text chat
[01:21] <python|pi> no just ssh to localhost does that create a streaming loop to my 192.168.*.*?
[01:21] <ks_> paul__: that could work too
[01:21] <Dr_willis> python|pi,  i dont see what you are gaining by doing that.
[01:21] <paul__> xchat also has OTR
[01:22] <python|pi> ok
[01:22] <bng> guys, can I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop, will that achieve anything, I really don't want to reinstall now
[01:22] <paul__> you have to install it from the repos though
[01:22] <python|pi> thanks Dr_willis
[01:22] <Dr_willis> bng,   i doubt if that would fix much of anyuthing..   clarify what the actual issue is.
[01:23] <bng> Dr_willis: my unity panels are gone, the window decorations too and unity/compiz seems not to load due to some errors
[01:24] <bng> Dr_willis: I accidentally installed nvidia driver, even though I have no nvidia card, I am on intel graphics, i uninstalled it then
[01:24] <Dr_willis> bng,  id install some alternative desktop to use, while you work in fixing unity/compiz. ive seen  Unitycompiz get all confused by video drivers that ARE working and just fail to load.   also test with a newly made user. see if he has the same issue
[01:24] <Hexagonite> This rude guy PMed me for not running Linux.
[01:25] <Dr_willis> bng,  double check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file also. you really shouldent need one on intel
[01:25] <paul__> maybe purge the NVIDIA drivers?
[01:26] <bng> paul__: will try
[01:26] <bng> Dr_willis: it shouldn't be there at all?
[01:26] <Dr_willis> bng,  i dont have one on my intel ssytems.. rename it if it exists
 Thank you to nigger
 You one of them smart niggers
[01:29] <somsip> python|pi: stop witht he racist comments
[01:29] <Dr_willis> python|pi,  learn to use the /ignore command
[01:29] <bng> there is no xorg.conf, but I just discovered I still had some nvidia packages installed (!)
[01:29] <bng> rebooting now
[01:29] <python|pi> I think its funny Dr_willis I'm flattered
[01:29] <Hexagonite> fishedhoo is trolling people. :(
[01:29] <Dr_willis> python|pi,  keep it up and the ops may boot you instead..
[01:29] <bng> Hexagonite: me too
[01:29] <somsip> Hexagonite: report to the ops
[01:29] <python|pi> and not even cloaked Hexagonite
[01:30] <python|pi> noob
[01:30] <Dr_willis> there is the #ubuntu-ops channel for reporting things i  belive
[01:32] <quorteth> Hey, if i want to find all instances of '70' in a file, i try grep '70' myfile, and it responds 'Binary file final_merged.sam matches', how can i make it work like normal?
[01:34] <python|pi> k
[01:35] <bng> Dr_willis, paul__ , so now I got the window decorations back, after purging nvidia-common and nvidia-304-updates, but there are still no unity panels
[01:37] <Dr_willis> see if a new user works.
[01:38] <Dr_willis> theres some unity reset command. but forget what it was called
[01:38] <python|pi> oh it's not a prob Dr_willis I'm not even surprised at the childishness.  I have a soul with girth
[01:39] <bng> Dr_willis: nothing with unity in its name is running, and killall compiz just destroyed the decorations again, restarting again
[01:39] <zehexx> sir,in ubuntu can we learn about assembly?,and what we use to it?
[01:39] <Dr_willis> well compiz is what handles the window decoration ;)
[01:39] <Dr_willis> zehexx,  theres assembly language tools in the repos
[01:40] <bng> Dr_willis: well somebody here mentioned killikng it, or maybe it was unity
[01:40] <Dr_willis> restarting unity may be a better idea ;) if it still takes that argument
[01:40] <zehexx> *we use to do it?
[01:40] <Dr_willis> unity --restart  or unity --reset
[01:40] <Dr_willis> zehexx,  the gcc tools can do assembly, and theres more then one assemblyer i recall.
[01:41] <Dr_willis> assembly language is rarely used these days :)
[01:42] <Dr_willis> http://asm.sourceforge.net/ the Linux Assembly website!
[01:44] <zehexx> in repo i have search with keyword assembly but not result. if gcc can do it, so? our processor type its can effect?
[01:44] <zehexx> dr_willis thx for link, i will try to check it
[01:50] <zehexx> in terminal bash can we check what is our processor type?
[01:50] <somsip> zehexx: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:50] <zehexx> such as x86?
[01:53] <syntroPi> how would i add online accounts in gnome shell? i get a window which tells me to enter contact information with a finish and cancel button but nowhere to write my account into????
[01:54] <zehexx> somsip thx, i have read it, but i not found word x86, or similiar with it
[01:54] <syntroPi> gnome is still mostly: broken
[01:55] <zehexx> just some word and number info
[01:56] <somsip> zehexx: uname -a then
[01:56] <somsip> zehexx: strictly speaking that tells you what kernel you are running, but it would normally match the capabilities of the CPU
[01:57] <syntroPi> does anyone got empathy working yet?
[01:57] <bng> Dr_willis: so I created a new account and it has unity rnning alright... should I delete some of my .config files or similar?
[01:57] <Dr_willis> yeppers
[01:58] <bng> Dr_willis: any hint which?
[01:58] <nogal> ugh.... i can't find a fix for this problem and it only happens in ubuntu, no other distro.
[01:58] <zehexx> and how to view cpu register as graphic just now how its work
[01:58] <nogal> still can't get my TTY windows to appear correctly
[01:59] <zehexx> and how to view cpu register as graphic just to know how its work
[02:00] <nogal> teh only thing that remotely works is reconfiguring the console data, but once I reload X it sets it back to it's broken appearance
[02:00] <nogal> anyone have any other ideas?
[02:01] <nogal> if I set grub to vga mode, it takes away all visual to the TTY
[02:02] <nogal> fishedhoo: why are you PMing me about drugs?
[02:03] <nogal> 22:01 <fishedhoo> Idea. First stop doing drugs
[02:03] <nogal> 22:02 <nogal> excuse me?
[02:03] <nogal> 22:02 <fishedhoo> You seen it. Punks like you smoke that bong
[02:03] <nogal> ^^ wtf is that about
[02:03] <nogal> don't PM me.
[02:03] <FloodBot1> nogal: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:03] <cjbirk> no one cares
[02:04] <nogal> i'd figure someone in #ubuntu would know why a ubuntu specific problem happened
[02:04] <ripplebit> guys when i try a copy i get this returned: "cp: omitting directory './site/site'".  what am i doing wrong?
[02:05] <ripplebit> command i run is "cp ./site/site ./app/site"
[02:05] <Gumby> ripplebit: cp -r
[02:05] <ripplebit> what's the -r for?
[02:05] <Gumby> recursive
[02:05] <ripplebit> thanks
[02:05] <somsip> nogal: please report any abuse in #ubuntu-ops
[02:05] <Gumby> man cp will tell you everything you want to know
[02:05] <Gumby> and a whole lot more
 Idea. First stop doing drugs
[02:06] <cong> lol
[02:06] <nogal> somsip: thank you.
[02:06] <somsip> !ops - we have a problem with fishedhoo pm'ing users.

[02:06] <somsip> nogal: I'll put a general call out as it seems to be a ongoing problem
[02:07] <DeltaHeavy> Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu"      And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again,  after logging in I get the same error. A
[02:08] <Gumby> DeltaHeavy: the vdi is now missing/unavailable and you are wondering why you are seeing issues?
[02:08] <cristobal> XD
[02:08] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: No, the .vdi is there and Ubuntu boots, but after logging in I get that issue.
[02:09] <Gumby> DeltaHeavy: so you plugged the physical drive back in at some point then?
[02:09] <Gumby> DeltaHeavy: before starting the Ubuntu VM?
[02:09] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: Yes, I can boot the VM so the .vdi is there.
[02:09] <DeltaHeavy> I'm not even sure if this is what caused the problem, as the VM runs, I just can't log into Ubuntu.
[02:10] <Gumby> perhaps the /home partition isnt mounting
[02:10] <bng> Dr_willis: after backing the whole .config, I have the desktop back, thank you!
[02:10] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: Lemme check
[02:10] <bng> Dr_willis: i'll have to just restoring selectively now
[02:11] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: Naw, /home/ is mounted.
[02:11] <Gumby> DeltaHeavy: and you can write to it?  and it contains ubuntu ?
[02:11] <Gumby> I assume the session "ubuntu" is the username?
[02:12] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: I can read and write in /home/. And my username is not 'ubuntu'.
[02:12] <Gumby> are there any other desktops/sessions to choose from at login?
[02:13] <Gumby> sounds like something went wrong during an install or upgrade or something
[02:13] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: Ah, changing my session from 'Default' to 'Unity' worked! Thanks!
[02:14] <Gumby> cool, I wonder if thats a bug
[02:14] <ripplebit> guys how do i recursively remove a dir?
[02:14] <DeltaHeavy> Gumby: Personally, I'd doubt it. Sounds like just some vbox / hardware combination quirck
[02:14] <DeltaHeavy> ripplebit: rm -r <dir>
[02:14] <ripplebit> thanks
[02:15] <DeltaHeavy> np
[02:17] <Mathias> i'm having some weird problems with my sound card, the headphone connection is appearing and disappering a couple of times a second. the card is a "Audio device: Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 06)"
[02:23] <skuft> oddly quiet
[02:23] <Mathias> nah
[02:23] <skuft> so odd, using exact same settings one irc client can't connect to the znc and the other can.
[02:26] <Mathias> skuft: same computer?
[02:27] <syntroPi> can someone help me setting up ubuntu online accounts?
[02:28] <Mathias> syntroPi: struggling with facebook?
[02:29] <syntroPi> Mathias, all of them: i try using empathy and adding accounts results in UOA empty formular with [Cancel] and [Finish] button? where would i add my account info??
[02:29] <aladdin> how do u view a file once you locate it on the terminal please?
[02:30] <Dr_willis> aladdin,  what kind of file?
[02:30] <Dr_willis> programtouse  filena,e
[02:31] <Mathias> aladdin: editing in the terminal? nano is probably the easiest way. just viewing? then just "more /path/to/file"
[02:32] <Dr_willis> assuming its a text file.
[02:32] <aladdin> Dr_willis,  a .log file
[02:32] <aladdin> Mathias, let me try that out, cheers
[02:32] <Dr_willis> cat fool.log
[02:32] <aladdin> Dr_willis, l o l
[02:34] <linux_is_my_hero> help, I can't seem to get my printer drivers to work :-(
[02:35] <syntroPi> is there a config file for empathy accounts somewhere?
[02:36] <GDutko> br?
[02:37] <aladdin> what is the difference between more and cat command plz?
[02:37] <Dr_willis> man more
[02:37] <Dr_willis> more is a pager. like 'less'
[02:37] <Dr_willis> cat just spits it out
[02:38] <Dr_willis> cat /var/log/bigfile
[02:38] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I change the size of pictures in a directory and its subdirectory? (I am newbie. :P)
[02:38] <Dr_willis> more /var/log/bigfile
[02:38] <Dr_willis> mojtaba,  lots of pictures you mean?
[02:38] <mojtaba> Dr_Willis: Yes, I want to use command line.
[02:39] <aladdin> Dr_willis, another question, how do u quit blank terminal once you prompted the command cat?
[02:40] <aladdin> Dr_willis, thank for the previous :)
[02:40] <mojtaba> Any idea?
[02:41] <aleza84> anyone has any idea about Usb digital tv ??
[02:41] <silare> Is there a way to make the Unity panel at the top (appmenu, clock) have a different font than the rest of the OS?
[02:41] <riley__> no
[02:42] <mojtaba> Dr_Willis: Do you know what should I do?
[02:42] <silare> What about spacing the indicators out more? I keep missing because I suck at using mice.
[02:43] <aleza84> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5728100/ can anyone help me to identify if this device has been detected well or not¡?
[02:43] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I change the size of pictures in a directory and its subdirectory? (I am newbie. :P)
[02:44] <silare> mojtaba: Which *buntu? Ubuntu with Unity?
[02:44] <silare> And welcome. =]
[02:45] <mojtaba> silare: Yes
[02:45] <mojtaba> I want to use command line
[02:45] <silare> mojtaba: Ohh. you mean resize , not change display size?
[02:45] <mojtaba> silare: Yes, I have lots of pictures and would like to change their sizes.
[02:48] <mojtaba> Any idea?
[02:49] <Dr_willis> imagemagick cli tools
[02:49] <Dr_willis> !info imagemagick
[02:50] <angelazou> I created a user using --disabled-password
[02:51] <mojtaba> Dr_willis: I know that I should use convert, but the problem is that I do not know how to combine it with for loop.
[02:51] <angelazou> but now I'm asked the password, what is it?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> mojtaba,  i always end  up having to google for examples
[02:52] <angelazou> anyone?
[02:53] <Dr_willis> i would think that would disable the user from logging in..
[02:53] <fellayaboy> is there a way to start screen in a certain directoy
[02:53] <Dr_willis> what command did you use exactly angelazou ?
[02:53] <Matthew_Moore> i have a weird problem. i am dual booting Win7 and ubutnu 13.04.   after i use 13.04  and reboot back into win7 My windows audio dose not work.  i have to pop out my cmos battery to fix it. its definatly Ubuntu triggering this. i can reproduce it at will. what the heck is causing it?
[02:53] <Dr_willis> fellayaboy,  check the screen man pages? or its startup script feature? there shoul dbe a way
[02:54] <fellayaboy> hmm
[02:54] <angelazou> dr_willis: sudo adduser --system  --shell /bin/bash  --gecos 'git version control'   --group --disabled-password --home /home/git git
[02:56] <paul__> angelazou: Why not go to "User accounts" and create a user and enable "automatic login"
[02:56] <paul__> to me that seems far easier than the command line route
[02:56] <angelazou> paul__because I'm on a server not a desktop
[02:56] <paul__> ah got ya
[02:57] <paul__> that would certainly explain it hehe
[02:57] <Dr_willis> so.. you think --disabled-password will let you auto login?
[02:58] <angelazou> dr_willis: I'm following a setup
[02:58] <Dr_willis> angelazou,  well i dont get what you are trying to do..
[02:59] <angelazou> I have only a blurry idea of what I'm doing, so please
[02:59] <Dr_willis> --disabled-password
[02:59] <Dr_willis>               Like --disabled-login, but logins are still possible for example
[02:59] <Dr_willis>               through SSH RSA keys, but not using password authentication.
[02:59] <angelazou> if you know what is the password, just let me know
[02:59] <Dr_willis> It dosent let you auto login.. it disables where you can use a password
[02:59] <angelazou> well, that makes no sense
[02:59] <Dr_willis> so you MUST use the keys.
[02:59] <angelazou> why does it still prompt password when I do sudo
[02:59] <Dr_willis> i dont get what you think it should be doing.. it makes sence to me
[02:59] <angelazou> what key dr_willis?
[02:59] <Dr_willis> the ssh key.
[03:00] <angelazou> passphrase for the ssh key?
[03:00] <Dr_willis> i imagine you have effectively disabled sudo for that user
[03:00] <Chris_W_> this may be stupidly dumb of me, but once you run 'apt-get update' how do you know what/if any packages are ready for upgrading without running 'apt-get upgrade' ?
[03:00] <paul__> are you trying to disable the user password, or the sudo password?
[03:00] <angelazou> like I said, I'm just following this setup http://silas.sewell.org/blog/2011/01/08/setup-gitolite-on-ubuntu/
[03:01] <angelazou> I really don't have a precise idea of what that was
[03:01] <Dr_willis> so later it wants you to do somthing as git and sudo?
[03:01] <harlinggo> ???
[03:02] <Dr_willis> --disabled-password  sounds to me like it disables using the normal login: method as that user.
[03:02] <Dr_willis> you can only ssh in and auth via allready made keys
[03:02] <Dr_willis>  the server channels may know more about this.
[03:03] <niocora> How terribly terrible would it be to use drivers from nvidia's website?
[03:04] <Dr_willis> this site specifically mentions git user, and that option -- --disabled-password      http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56765/creating-an-user-without-a-password
[03:04] <Dr_willis> niocora,  if the repos work. its best to use them.
[03:04] <Dr_willis> if they dont.. well..    the ones from nvidia.com may or may not work
[03:04] <Dr_willis> there are ppas with newer nvidia drivers also
[03:05] <niocora> Dr_willis: I don't think they are. They killed unity.
[03:05] <Dr_willis> niocora,  ive seen unity get confused when the drivers are working. ;()
[03:05] <niocora> Well I get no bars with unity.
[03:05] <Dr_willis> niocora,  tried making a new user see if unity works for them yet? as a test.
[03:05] <niocora> No.
[03:06] <Dr_willis> niocora,  way too common a problem.. seen it happen  when my video drivers were in fact working correctly
[03:06] <Chris_W_> this may be stupidly dumb of me, but once you run 'apt-get update' how do you know what/if any packages are ready for upgrading without running 'apt-get upgrade' ?
[03:06] <Dr_willis> Chris_W_,  i just run the apt-get upgrade and look..
[03:06] <niocora> My drivers are working (I think)
[03:07] <Dr_willis> theres that motd line/script that can show the # that can be updated. but not details
[03:07] <niocora> I'll try making a new user account.
[03:08] <harlinggo> any indonesian here
[03:09] <Chris_W_> Dr_willis: i just thought that seemed a little silly, to have to run the program again, just to see that there aren't any updates.
[03:09] <harlinggo> :(
[03:10] <harlinggo> adohhh...
[03:10] <harlinggo> gimana nih
[03:10] <Dr_willis> theres that command in the motd/stuff that can give a summary
[03:10] <alex_> Altek
[03:10] <harlinggo> gw nyasaarrrrr
[03:11] <testing_> Dr_willis: It's niocora, I created a new user and unity works, but I want to use my old user account. Any ideas?
[03:12] <Dr_willis> clean out your old users settings files.  rename .config as a start
[03:12] <harlinggo> ping
[03:12] <harlinggo> ping
[03:12] <harlinggo> ping

[03:13] <harlinggo> :(
[03:16] <soy_el_pulpo> Dr_willis: hi, is there an esasy way to change my apt.sources from a mirror back to the another one rather than editing the file manually? sometimes ubuntu has this nice little scripts that make people life easier. thanks
[03:16] <soy_el_pulpo> easy

[03:20] <Shubuntu> hey guys anyone using ubuntu 13.4 here?
[03:21] <somsip> Ponch0: what is in the tgz file? A script or source code? What are you installing exactly?
[03:21] <Dr_willis> Ponch0,  totally depends on whats in it.
[03:21] <soy_el_pulpo> Dr_willis: thanks again, will add it to my bag of tricks ;-)
[03:21] <Ponch0> it's arduino 1.0.5 ide
[03:21] <Ponch0> for the arduino uno r3.
[03:22] <Guest48593> anyone using ubuntu 13.04 having toruble connecting to facebook chat in browser?

[03:22] <Ponch0> somsip: Thanks!
[03:22] <Mathias> oh btw, possible to get ubuntu to forcefully mount stuff? it hangs for no reason at all at boot (if i choose manual recovery and just runs "mount -a" it works without problems)
[03:22] <somsip> Ponch0: np
[03:23] <Ponch0> somsip: does it matter i'm on 13.04?
[03:24] <somsip> Ponch0: unlikely - structure of the tgz will be the same
[03:25] <Guest48593> i've tried clearing cache, using different browsers, changing dns, switching between flash and gnash, no luck
[03:26] <RyanXM> does anyone know an alternative to fantastical? http://flexibits.com/fantastical

[03:28] <Hexagonite> How do you make pulseaudio to restart?
[03:29] <Galraith> hey guys we have ubuntu 12.04 installed, we are using vsfptd and we can log in read, pull off the server and copy but we are unable to write. we diddnt have access before we commented out "chroot_local_user =  yes"  is their somehow we have to set the write permissions to be able to do this?
[03:30] <Shubuntu> anyone using ubuntu 13.04 having toruble connecting to facebook chat in browser?
[03:30] <Shubuntu> i've tried clearing cache, using different browsers, changing dns, switching between flash and gnash, no luck
[03:32] <Hexagonite> did the chat work before 13.04?
[03:32] <brewmaster619> Hexagonite:  I think its pulseaudio -k
[03:33] <Shubuntu> Hexagonite: yes on 12.04 it worked fine
[03:33] <niocora> Hallelujah praise the lord and pass the ammunition! Unity works again!
[03:34] <brewmaster619> how all the gnome, Unity et all works is voodoo to me
[03:34] <Shubuntu> it connects at first, then a few seconds later it's disconnected and says can't connect, try again
[03:35] <brewmaster619> and of course sometimes it doesn't work.
[03:35] <Hexagonite> probably a problem with Facebook's side.
[03:36] <jerry_> Hi anyone know how to install minecraft
[03:36] <niocora> jerry_: Buy a full account.
[03:37] <brewmaster619> did you download the jar file?
[03:37] <niocora> Install java from the software center.
[03:37] <brewmaster619> yep
[03:37] <jerry_> oh thanks is that all
[03:37] <brewmaster619> don't forget to mark the file as executable
[03:37] <regorianer> jerry_: dooooooooont do this, better invest time for programming and do productive stuff :D
[03:38] <niocora> Right-Click the file and open with java, not archive opener.
[03:38] <niocora> But yeah, mark as executable.
[03:39]  * niocora prefers Magic Launcher for HD textures and/or mods.
[03:39] <jerry_> Can you install mods on it or what i got the jar file and marked it??
[03:39] <Dr_willis> i always start java apps via the cli. or a custom launcher
[03:40] <niocora> jerry_: The default mojang .jar is pretty basic.
[03:40] <niocora> No inbuilt mod support.
[03:40]  * downttttttt
[03:41] <brewmaster619> I want to learn how to play, I'm away from my family for the next 7 months, and my daughters both play...
[03:41] <Hexagonite> is there anything new with the daily build of 13.10?
[03:41] <jerry_> maybe we can set up a server or something
[03:41] <somsip> brewmaster619: then download the jar, save it somewhere, and 'java -jar minecreaft.jar' and that will get you started
[03:42] <sgo11> hi, urgent please. ubuntu 12.10. my laptop wireless is working yesterday. Today, when I boot to ubuntu, it shows "hardware disabled". but the wireless led light is on. it's not disabled. can anyone please help? thanks.
[03:42] <niocora> Uh-oh. Unity is using nemo/muffin/whatever cinnamon uses as the desktop controller.
[03:43] <Dr_willis> Huh?
[03:43] <niocora> I installed cinnamon to use while unity took its holiday, but now my right-click menu is cinnamons.
[03:44] <jerry_> does anyone here have cydia on there ipod or iphone
[03:45] <brewmaster619> the 13.10 images, the website says you don't have to "change your computer at all".  are they live CDs or what?
[03:45] <Dr_willis> the desktop cds are live cds'' yes
[03:46] <jerry_> I removed windows all the way
[03:46] <Shubuntu> jerry_: living in a windowless house now?
[03:46] <brewmaster619> ha ha
[03:47] <jerry_> no lmao
[03:47] <jerry_> lol
[03:47] <niocora> If I just uninstall al the cinnamon stuff will that fix it?
[03:48] <Dr_willis> niocora,  we have no idea.. we dont make or support cinnimon
[03:48] <Dr_willis> try it and see
[03:48] <sgo11> can anyone help? my wireless is set to hardware disabled in ubuntu 12.10. Aireplane Mode is ON and can not set to off. what's going on here?
[03:48] <brewmaster619> I can't get rid of windows yet, I'm trying to figure out the best way to merge my home folder with my windows folder on my dual boot machine
[03:49] <Dr_willis> mount your windows home to  some location in  your users home directory
[03:49] <brewmaster619> wespee_: edit connections?
[03:49] <Dr_willis> or access it via /media/username/somthing
[03:49] <jerry_> yeah thats what i did
[03:49] <Connections> O.O
[03:50] <brewmaster619> I wish I could hard-link to ntfs, but I guess symlonks will work too
[03:50] <brewmaster619> symlinks
[03:50] <Dr_willis> you can symlink to the mountpoint
[03:51] <brewmaster619> it would cut down on redundant files, and havin g to reboot beasue you left something under that other operating system
[03:51] <Shubuntu> sgo11: did you try turning your wifi on and off physically?
[03:51] <Shubuntu> brewmaster619: never leave files on os dependent places
[03:52] <sgo11> Shubuntu, I tried. but physically is just FN+KeyboardKey. I don't think it's working in ubuntu. I tried that. the wireless light is always on. never off.
[03:52] <Shubuntu> brewmaster619: as a rule of thumb, always separate data from os files as much as possible
[03:52] <sgo11> Shubuntu, I also tired sudo rfkill unblock all. it doesn't work. it seems that fixes some laptop's problem. it just happens suddently.
[03:52] <brewmaster619> I got one symlink working fine, as a test, though I want to make the icon the same as it wouldn't have been if it wasn't a symlink (the Music directory)
[03:53] <Shubuntu> sgo11: do sudo htop in your terminal and see what's running that relates to your wifi
[03:53] <brewmaster619> easy in linux, not so easy in windoze  :)
[03:53] <sgo11> Shubuntu, running htop. but how to check which one is related to my wifi? thanks.
[03:53] <Shubuntu> brewmaster619: read what i said
[03:54] <Shubuntu> sgo11: F4, and then check keywords, like wifi, interface, network, ...
[03:55] <sgo11> Shubuntu, I can only see two "NetworkManager" is running by root. one is PID 915 and another one is PID 926. nothing else.
[03:56] <Shubuntu> sgo11: try bringing your network manager up from the right corner of your horizontal tray then
[03:57] <Shubuntu> see if you can turn your wifi on
[03:57] <sgo11> Shubuntu, that way I tried many times. does not work. Airplan mode is on. Can not switch to OFF. Wireless can not switch to ON.
[03:58] <sgo11> Shubuntu, sudo rfkill list all shows "soft blocked: no. hard blocked: yes". but my wireless light is on.
[03:58] <Dr_willis> if theres windows on that machine at all.. try booting to windows and turn on wireless there. then reboot back to linux
[03:59] <Shubuntu> ok go to start >> settings >> system settings
[03:59] <XHEART24> Hi everyone. If I have Ubuntu 12.04 (which works great!) why I can not upgrade to 13.04? what is needed to do the upgrade?
[03:59] <Shubuntu> see if under network you see your device
[04:00] <sgo11> Shubuntu, I read this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139036/how-do-i-fix-a-wireless-is-disabled-by-hardware-switch-error it says using sudo rfkill unblock all. but it doesn't work for me. let me check system settings.
[04:00] <brewmaster619> I had a similar problem, with wifi, I had others as well, so i got a new HD and re-installed from scratch, other than some UEFI/SecureBoot issues no problems.
[04:00] <Shubuntu> XHEART24: did you try googling "upgrade distribution ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04"
[04:00] <sgo11> Shubuntu, no. I only see wired. no wireless device....
[04:01] <XHEART24> yes and the atempts i did nit let me
[04:02] <sgo11> Shubuntu, sorry. wait. I did this in wrong PC>
[04:02] <brewmaster619> I happened to have a USB wifi dongle, and that worked, but I couldn't not get the built-in wifi to work.
[04:02] <brewmaster619> KVM?
[04:02] <Shubuntu> bbl afk
[04:03] <sgo11> Shubuntu, sorry, I did this in wrong PC. since my laptop can not get to network, I am using another PC now. And Yeah, my laptop shows "Wireless" Device in system settings --> Network. what to do next? thanks.
[04:04] <Shubuntu> sgo11: open the device and see if you can turn it on and off, sorry gotta go out for a bit bbl
[04:04] <sgo11> Shubuntu, I tried that many times in GUI. it won't work. OK. ttyl.
[04:08] <walltender> Will some one help on this http://postimg.org/image/rs29na4tj/0fcc47f8/?
[04:09] <walltender> It OS refuses to shutdown afterwards.
[04:09] <walltender> It OS refuses to shutdown afterwards.
[04:10] <somsip> !mint | walltender
[04:11] <sgo11> hi, I think my problem is related to unclean shutdown and required modules can not be loaded after unclean shutdown. something like it. can anyone help? unclean shutdown can not be avoided. because my ubuntu has this problem. I have to use sudo shutdown -h now to shutdown laptop. This is fine to me. but the wireless problem never happens until today.
[04:11] <brewmaster619> how did ubottu know it was mint?  it has OCR?
[04:13] <walltender> Mint is ubuntu. Don't get envy because it put on a different dress.
[04:14] <somsip> walltender: Mint is mint. It doesn't work the same. It's not supported here.
[04:16] <walltender> somsip: Mint is the brother and sister. Why not give you bro a help?
[04:17] <somsip> walltender: Because it is not supported here.
[04:18] <somsip> walltender: if someone wants to help you in private chat, they can. Simple as that
[04:22] <Galraith> hey guys we have ubuntu 12.04 installed, we are using vsfptd and we can log in read, pull off the server and copy but we are unable to write. we diddnt have access before we commented out "chroot_local_user =  yes"  is their somehow we have to set the write permissions to be able to do this?
[04:22] <DroidMGD> I'm new to ubuntu and haven't used linux in decades. Anyone have some good links to basic linux training?
[04:22] <somsip> !mnanual | DroidMGD maybe?
[04:22] <somsip> !manual | DroidMGD
[04:24] <brewmaster619> does anyone know an easy way to tell where the actual icon file is for a current icon in nautilus?  If you click the icon in properties, it just gives you the option to change it, but defaults to the directory the file or directory is in.
[04:24] <DroidMGD> ubottu: thanks. I'll start there.
[04:51] <mike00> how do i switch from booting into windoe manager verses booting into console?
[04:51] <somsip> !textmode | mike00
[04:51] <somsip> !text | mike00
[04:51] <somsip> mike00: does that help?
[04:52] <mike00> no, i mean chaning the run levels, so it boots into it automatically without any manual intervention.
[04:53] <somsip> mike00: aha - http://askubuntu.com/questions/16371/how-do-i-disable-x-at-boot-time-so-that-the-system-boots-in-text-mode
[04:54] <mike00> somsip: ok great!
[04:54] <mike00> thanks.
[04:54] <somsip> mike00: np
[04:56] <vltor> i am having ptoblems with updating ubuntu.  i get an "Error broken count >0"
[04:59] <somsip> vltor: where do you get this?
[04:59] <vltor> when i try and do an update
[04:59] <somsip> vltor: in a terminal , when you run apt-get update?
[05:00] <vltor> no i am using update manager
[05:00] <IdleOne> vltor: open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get -f install
[05:01] <IdleOne> -f will try to fix any broken packages
[05:01] <somsip> vltor: what version of ubuntu and have you recently upgrade versions, or used any PPAs
[05:03] <vltor> im running 12.04
[05:04] <vltor> i did a "sudo apt-get -f install" and got an error
[05:04] <IdleOne> what was the error?
[05:04] <vltor> should i paste here or?
[05:05] <IdleOne> use pastebin
[05:05] <IdleOne> please
[05:06] <ripplebit> guys how do i change the number of spaces for a tab from 8 to 4 in the terminal?
[05:06] <vltor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5728314/
[05:07] <somsip> vltor: No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error
[05:07] <somsip> ripplebit: in what use case do you need tabs in terminal? Are you editing?
[05:08] <ripplebit> yeah using nano, maybe its nano settings or something
[05:08] <somsip> ripplebit: it will be. I expect a nano.conf somewhere
[05:09] <somsip> ripplebit: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/setting-tab-size-in-nano/
[05:09] <ripplebit> thanks somsip
[05:09] <somsip> ripplebit: np
[05:09] <vltor> somsip how can i tell what is taking upp all the space
[05:10] <vltor> ?
[05:10] <somsip> vltor: do df -h first
[05:12] <vltor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5728318/
[05:12] <jony_easyrider> how can I view if it's installed correctly my usb attached webcam?
[05:13] <somsip> vltor: so / is full. I'd check /boot (for old linux images) /var/log (for big logfiles). After that you might need to dig about a bit more
[05:14] <somsip> jony_easyrider: dmesg will give you the messages for the webcam, but running something that access the cam, like cheese, might be the easiest way
[05:19] <mike00> ok so i have a .xession that loads my window manager and needed apps, works great on ubuntu server, now i need the same to happen in ubuntu desktop, how do i get it to loads the window manager i specific in .xession?
[05:21] <somsip> mike00: IIRC it depends on what WM you want to run. Does anything here help you? http://is.gd/g5f5CO
[05:23] <mike00> somsip: i was on that page, i just dont understand fully what its saying to do in regards for my problem =(
[05:23] <somsip> mike00: what WM will you be starting?
[05:23] <mike00> matchbox-window-manager
[05:26] <somsip> mike00: so .xsession should contain the bash shebang and exec matchbox-window-manager?
[05:26] <mike00> yeah. matchbox-window-manager &
[05:26] <mike00> works in ubuntu server
[05:26] <somsip> mike00: do you have any other WMs installed on the desktop?
[05:27] <mike00> on my desktop.. its a desktop
[05:27] <mike00> so yeah the default
[05:27] <somsip> mike00: that doesn't answer the question. A server usually has no WM installed, so the xsession will get run if plain old xserver is install. A desktop usually has a default WM
[05:27] <dirk__> i'm having a problem when i boot up ubuntu... can some one take a look and tell me if they know whats going on http://imagebin.org/260038
[05:28] <mike00> which are you referring to?
[05:28] <mike00> on the server, no. on the desktop yes.
[05:28] <somsip> mike00: what WM is on the desktop now
[05:28] <mike00> whatever default is
[05:29] <liungkejin> #bash
[05:29] <somsip> mike00: how did you install matchbox wm?
[05:30] <mike00> just with apt-get install
[05:30] <somsip> mike00: when you first try to log into the desktop, can you choose the default session from some dropdown menu?
[05:30] <mike00> no
[05:31] <mike00> not sure what you are asking.
[05:31] <mike00> everything works as default, my .xessions is pretty much ignored.
[05:32] <somsip> mike00: I don't use a standard GUI so I may not be able to help. IIRC you need to change the login to 'password required' if it is not already set like that. That will make a login screen show when you boot, and first go into X. Then you can choose which WM to run. And you'd choose matchbox. But I'm really not sure here so you may need other help
[05:33] <dirk__> nobody?
[05:33] <dirk__> maybe another time...
[05:34] <dirk__> ill check back tomorrow... maybe i'll get some help then... take it easy dudes... it's late anyway
[05:42] <Dr_willis> matchbox has always been a very weird window manager/desktop ;)
[05:44] <quick-> Hi i am getting a segmentation fault while my code is being executed.Can anybody please tell me where the core is dumped in 12.10 ?
[05:44] <quick-> Hi i am getting a segmentation fault while my code is being executed.Can anybody please tell me where the core is dumped in 12.10 ? I am using g++ and i already checked /var/crash .
[05:44] <Dr_willis> normally in the current working directory i thought quick- .
[05:45] <Dr_willis> its possible coredumps are disabled also. i cant recall seeing one in ages on ubuntu.
[05:46] <mike00> somsip: booting into text mode, fixes it all and make it work =D
[05:46] <quick-> Dr_willis: It's not there in the current working directory. How can i enable it if you remember ? :)
[05:46] <Dr_willis> quick-,  no idea. askubuntu.com may know
[05:46] <quick-> Dr_willis: Thank you for the headsup. I ll check :)
[05:46] <Dr_willis> if they are disabled.. i cant recall ever seeing anything that coredumped/segfaulted  making one in ubuntu.. that i ca
[05:47] <Dr_willis> that i can recall in a loooong time
[05:48] <Dr_willis> matchbox made a entry in the Login screen session manager list here mike00
[05:50] <somsip> Dr_willis: just checking - so what I said about needing to enable 'Login required' and chose matchbox WM from the session dropdown was basically correct?
[05:50] <Dr_willis> You select it at the login screen correct.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> or just Logout.. and select matchbox. ;)
[05:51] <Dr_willis> let me just say that.. well.. matchbox - is not very useable it seems  :)
[05:51] <somsip> Dr_willis: k - long time since I've used gdm and never seen lightdm. Not sure why the user didn't have a dropdown for the session though...
[05:51] <mike00> its only used to launch a browser window, its not a usable desktop.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> it runs. it runs apps.. but i sure cant  say its very functional
[05:52] <somsip> mike00: yeah - you're doing a kiosk thing
[05:52] <somsip> mike00: yeah - you're doing a kiosk thing?
[05:52] <Dr_willis> matchbox was supposed to be a embeded device desktop ages ago.
[05:52] <mike00> Dr_willis: id idnt know where was a place to select window manager, but i needed it to autologin anyways.
[05:52] <mike00> somsip: yes.
[05:52] <Dr_willis> once you select the desktop on the login screen it rembers
[05:52] <Dr_willis> or you edit the .dmrc file
[05:52] <somsip> mike00: Dr_willis is more up to date than me on how the login works now, so I'll leave you with him
[05:52] <Dr_willis> which is what lightdm reads/saves
[05:52] <mike00> whats different between lightdm and nodm?
[05:52] <Dr_willis> if you need a tiny window manager for a koisk. you may want to use jwm.
[05:53] <Dr_willis> !info nodm
[05:53] <Dr_willis> never used nodm. so no idea
[05:53] <mike00> im using that to autologin. :: shrug ::
[05:53] <Dr_willis> lightdm is the default login session manager.  theres a little gear/icon next to the users name to select the session
[05:54] <Dr_willis> I definatly recall there being some Koisk-focused disrtos out there that   did most all the work for you. ;)
[05:54] <energizer> Im new to all this, and I'm trying to figure out how to interpret the readings from the System Load Indicator bar. It's got all these various readings and i dont know what they mean.
[05:55] <mike00> Dr_willis: yeah - i dont need to lock controls down just needed it to boot up into a full screen browser, got it working =D
[05:56] <sumanth> hi
[05:56] <Dr_willis> .dmrc for matchbox looks like this (2 lines)
[05:56] <Dr_willis> [Desktop]
[05:56] <Dr_willis> Session=matchbox
[05:56] <Serelijah> Is rm- rf/ abolished?
[05:57] <mike00> ahhh niice! good to know.
[05:57] <Dr_willis> Serelijah,  its been disabled/nutered for some time now.. ;)
[05:57] <Serelijah> WHY WAS I BORN SO LATE!?
[05:58] <Mathias> i think i fixed the stupid audio output error :D (it helped switching the front panel audio from HD to AC97) although, i still have the mount problem
[05:59] <Serelijah> But, how easy is it to create a terrible, terrible failure with command-line Linux nowadays?
[05:59] <somsip> Serelijah: what support need are you trying to address in doing that?
[05:59] <Mathias> Serelijah: it's still easy :P
[06:00] <Dr_willis> Serelijah,  with root all things are possible.
[06:00]  * Mathias gets the poking stick
[06:00]  * Mathias pokes /bin/mount
[06:01] <Dr_willis> carefull.. you will put someones eye out.
[06:01] <Dr_Wlls> See! you got both my i's
[06:02] <Mathias> :o
[06:02] <Serelijah> How much less of a man should I be feeling if I have no Linux/Unix experience?
[06:02] <Dr_Wlls> Serelijah,  the chicks dig guys that know how to use linux.
[06:02] <Mathias> imo? extremely :>
[06:03] <Dr_Wlls> you could always make up for it by claiming to be a  'power gamer' or a  top MMORPG player ;P
[06:03] <Mathias> or overclock your system to 8 GHz
[06:03] <Mathias> you might need some liquid nitrogen for it, but it'll be worth it
[06:05] <Serelijah> IMO it's more fun to have the nitrogen flood the house and the overclock be unfettered and free. (kaboom)
[06:06] <clcto> just get some non conducting liquid and submerge your whole computer in it
[06:07] <Mathias> mineral oil?
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> magma
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> liquid hydrogen
[06:09] <Serelijah> So yeah, is virtualbox my best option if I have no idea or experience how to go through all that partition crap?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> virtualbox is handy for testing out linux in windows.
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> im running Lubuntu in  vbox right now
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> #1 vbox tip.. Read its manual.
[06:10] <Mathias> i'm going the opposite way, windows in a vm :P
[06:11] <mchl_> When I installed ubuntu 12.04 dual boot, the installer did all the partitions for me
[06:11] <Mathias> although, the installer might need some tuning with the swap-partition
[06:13] <Serelijah> I would still like to keep my options open because I haven't experienced enough to choose a distro.
[06:13] <NikTh> Hello everybody.
[06:13] <aeon-ltd> hello
[06:13] <Mathias> \o
[06:14] <cfhowlett> Serelijah, best?  It's certainly better than the live boot option.  As far as choosing a distro?  There are dozens.  Choose one.  Try it out for a reasonable time: 30 days at least IMO.  If you're unsatisfied, try a different one.
[06:14] <cfhowlett> NikTh, greetings
[06:14] <Serelijah> cfhowlett: You meant try one in vbox, yes?
[06:15] <NikTh> Any way to upload a pdf document on Launchpad PPA ? It is a magazine and we want to share via PPA because Ubuntu Software Center has a problem right now. Will not accept any pdf documents (I don't know why).
[06:15] <mchl_> You could try ubuntu then install different desktop environments
[06:15] <cfhowlett> Serelijah, exactly.  remember that it will run slower in this settings, however.
[06:15] <cfhowlett> NikTh, not sure pdf can load to LP but you certainly put your doc in Ubuntu One and then place a link
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> zip it? ;)
[06:16] <Galraith> hey guys we have ubuntu 12.04 installed, we are using vsfptd and we can log in read, pull off the server and copy but we are unable to write. we diddnt have access before we commented out "chroot_local_user =  yes"  is their somehow we have to set the write permissions to be able to do this? anyone know what we are missing?
[06:17] <NikTh> cfhowlett:  It would be better if the user has a PPA enabled in his/her system and receive all updates through USC . We have already a page , and we already upload the magazine to USC(3 times) but know.. it has a problem - something (the USC I mean).
[06:19] <NikTh> Dr_Willis:  zip it ? (this was for my question ? sorry I didn't understood )
[06:20] <NikTh> LP accept only source code.. etc (change.sources files.. etc). I searched the Web for Laucnhpad and  another format like .pdf , but to no avail. Do not search the Web for an answer, I have already done that :)
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> if it dosent like a pdf file.. zip the pdf and see if it likes that.
[06:22] <NikTh> But I cannot understand why the message of the fail (to upload to USC directly) included something like "....use a PPA..."
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> wonder if it likes .tex or other  type docs
[06:22] <Serelijah> What's the quickest/most common way to accidentally destroy a PC with command line?
[06:23] <Corey> Serelijah: Uhhh....
[06:23] <NikTh> Dr_Willis:  do you know the way to upload another format execpt of the source.changes file ?  We talking physical damage?
[06:25] <Corey> If so, the old school X configuration would do it.
[06:25] <histo> Serelijah: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/of/hard/drive
[06:26] <NikTh> Yeah..yeah.. command line power-users... :P
[06:26] <Serelijah> I'm talking "manage to screw up with only a few commands to destroy everything that's *on* the hard drive"
[06:26] <Corey> Serelijah: dd or rm, then.
[06:27] <Corey> histo: /dev/zero beats /dev/random in your example.
[06:27] <NikTh> Search the Web Serelijah.. place the apppropriate key words on google and your  "friend" will find an answer for you :)
[06:27] <Corey> histo: It's orders of magnitude faster.
[06:27] <Serelijah> what did dd do again?
[06:27] <cfhowlett> Serelijah, if you have a virtualbox, just restore to an earlier, working point.
[06:27] <Corey> Serelijah: block level copying.
[06:27] <NikTh> !dd
[06:28] <histo> Corey: I would disagree with you that it's orders of magnitude faster. The write speed of the drive is going to be the slow down in the situation. I would also use a block size higher than the default of 512
[06:28] <histo> Serelijah: dd writes data to block devices.
[06:29] <Corey> histo: I just ran a test. It's ~10x bigger from /dev/zero than /dev/random. :-)
[06:29] <histo> Corey: what's 10x bigger?
[06:30] <Corey> histo: In ten seconds, /dev/random spat out 100MB of data, /dev/zero spat out 1.7GB
[06:30] <Corey> Same machine, same load profile, run sequentially.
[06:30] <Mathias> /dev/urandom <3
[06:30] <Corey> So I'm off, apparently in this case /dev/zero is 17x faster. :-)
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> so start 10 dd sessions from /dev/random! :)
[06:30] <histo> Well eitherway will accomplish the same distruction
[06:31] <Corey> Mathias: Sorry, this was /dev/urandom. :-)
[06:31] <histo> s/distruction/destruction/
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> is /dev/urandom faster or slower? ;)
[06:31] <Corey> histo: Point is, "spitting out 0's" is a lot faster than random number generation.
[06:32] <histo> Corey: spitting out 0's vs. random is not the bottleneck in the issue.
[06:32] <Corey> histo: What do you propose is the cause of this discrepency, then?
[06:32] <histo> Corey: What are you outputting to?
[06:32] <samuraibsd> Has anyone successfully gotten a wiimote to pair with VBA?
[06:33] <Corey> histo: In this case, "cat /dev/(urandom|zero) > file"
[06:33] <Corey> histo: Forgive me for not wanting to play with dd at this hour. :-)
[06:34] <Corey> histo: But try it yourself and see. I'd be curious / surprised if you couldn't replicate my results.
[06:35] <Corey> histo: I'm going to bed now, feel free to PM me. :-)
[06:40] <anonymous> anyone know a good reference guide to help me with cli commands?
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> tons of them online anonymous
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> look for the Oreially 'useing bash' book if you can find it
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> !cli
[06:40] <anonymous> thought i would ask if anyone had any good recommendations. :p
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> look at delicious.com see what gets the most votes/tags ;)
[06:41] <anonymous> thanks :D
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> and read read read...
[06:41] <anonymous> will do :D cheers (y)
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> that Oreially books are  most likely the top guides for learning bash.
[06:41] <samuraibsd>    Best advice I can give: Don't use one.  Just spend tons of time in the terminal and Google it when you need to do something you don't know how to.  Fastest way to learn, IMO
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> and they got tons of others
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> dont just google specific commands.. read that book.. learn the underlaying prinicples.. then the actual commands  will come to you as you use them, ;P
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> amazing how much bash 'fundamentals' are easy to overlook.
[06:42] <anonymous> yeah i got real confused with the apt-get install. i just used sofware center.
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> command -option argument
[06:43] <samuraibsd> apt-get should be low on your list of stuff
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> rathe stright forward. ;)
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> apt-get install gamename
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> is about as simple as it gets. other then 'ls' and 'cd'  ;P
[06:44] <samuraibsd> I remember Rochester.edu having one somewhere...I remember it being quite good
[06:44] <samuraibsd> (A guide, that is)
[06:44] <anonymous> those i understand from using those in windows.
[06:44] <histo> anonymous: what's confusing about apt-get install somepackage
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> a lot of colleges and i recall  Intels (or was it ibms) site having some decent docs also at one time
[06:45] <samuraibsd> histo: For one, finding out what the package is actually called
[06:45] <anonymous> :p
[06:45] <samuraibsd> Dr_Willis: It was IBM, I believe
[06:45] <histo> samuraibsd: anonymous apt-cache search something
[06:45] <samuraibsd> I wonder if that's still up...
[06:45] <anonymous> i was trying to do it for java and eclipse
[06:45] <samuraibsd> histo: I meant for a newbie.  It's not the most obvious thing unless you either Google it or use man pages (Does apt-get even have a man page?)
[06:46] <anonymous> histo: with my knowledge of linux i wouldnt of even known that command..
[06:46] <phil00> I upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 (Now a Kubuntu install, I don't know why..) and some resolutions are not available for my intel hd 2000 graphics. The resolution I used to be with on 12.04 is no longer available. Someone that could help me with this plz?
[06:46] <Mathias> samuraibsd: apt-get has multiple man-pages iirc
[06:47] <samuraibsd> Mathias: I wouldn't know.  I've never actually bothered looking at them.  But man pages are overlooked far too often.
[06:47] <samuraibsd> I figured out most of the term stuff before I actually knew what man pages were :P
[06:47] <anonymous> man pages - manual pages?
[06:48] <samuraibsd> Yup.  In terminal, just type "man <program>" (without the punctuation)
[06:48] <somsip> anonymous: yes - try 'man man'
[06:48] <Mathias> man date :P
[06:48] <samuraibsd> haha
[06:48] <samuraibsd> try man woman
[06:48] <anonymous> example: man java
[06:48] <anonymous> ?
[06:48] <histo> phil00: are you booting with nomodeset?
[06:48] <samuraibsd> No manual entry for woman
[06:49] <samuraibsd> Darn.
[06:49] <histo> anonymous: apt-cache search java && apt-cache search eclipse
[06:50] <samuraibsd> But seriously, nobody in here has gotten (or knows how to get) a wiimote working?  I got it to show up with wmgui, but I can't make my emulator actually see it.
[06:50] <phil00> histo: no idea
[06:50] <histo> samuraibsd: does the emulator support that type of input?
[06:50] <anonymous> histo: i've done it now, but those were things i had trouble with.
[06:50] <histo> phil00: grep nomodeset /etc/default/grub
[06:51] <phil00> okay, just a sec
[06:51] <samuraibsd> Not sure.  It seems to on Windows, but the Linux version seems to be missing a number of features, and it's been difficult to find out which ones
[06:51] <samuraibsd> That was to histo, forgot to tab
[06:51] <phil00> it's not returning a thing
[06:51] <histo> samuraibsd: Have you tried looking for support from that app specifically?  Since you've confirmed it works with other apps?
[06:52] <histo> phil00: okay then you aren't.  Does xrandr   show higher resolutions available?
[06:52] <samuraibsd> histo: Used all my Google-fu on this one and haven't been able to find much.  There's instructions for using the acc/gyro to control the mouse, and there's some stuff about IR support, but I'm only interested in the buttons, and nobody seems to care about that bit.
[06:52] <marvx> hi all

[06:53] <marvx> i have problem that i got sound in system and flash but not in games like eg. motorbike
[06:53] <phil00> histo: it shows the same resolutions I can access from the display dialog, and yes I have higher resolutions than that which I want
[06:54] <phil00> 1680x1050 1440x900, but I'm missing 1280x768 for example
[06:54] <histo> phil00: does your monitor support those resolutions?
[06:54] <mike00> anyone suggest a lightweight browser besides  Chromium?
[06:54] <phil00> yes, I used those before upgrading from 12.04 (to 13.04)
[06:54] <phil00> and it's the one I use on Windows
[06:54] <samuraibsd> histo: Yeah, but it just keeps directing me to WiiCan, which seems to be abandoned

[07:09] <Hexagonite> What driver should I install with an AMD Radeon HD 6290? the proprietary drivers affect performance quite a lot
[07:11] <samuraibsd> Hexagonite: My 6850 seems to work best with the open source drivers.
[07:11] <Hexagonite> which open source drivers?
[07:12] <intok> Hi, running 13.04 64 bit on a Toshiba laptop, having a weird networking issue, I can connect via ethernet and wifi, but the connection only works in fits, I.E. it'll work for a few seconds-minutes at a time then wont send or receive any data, but won't actually disconnect from the network, even the router shows that it is in fact still connected, but it wont move anything. LSHW = http://pastebin.com/CXg1hSGc
[07:12] <phil00_> histo: thank you very much for your help, it worked. I successfully added 1280x768 resolution following the procedure :)
[07:13] <samuraibsd> Whichever the default ones were.  It's on my other machine, which I don't have with me at the moment.
[07:14] <samuraibsd> histo: WiiCan seems to not work, even with the 13.04 specific package
[07:14] <Hexagonite> default ones? without activating a driver from 'Additional drivers'?
[07:15] <samuraibsd> Hexagonite: Yup.  I didn't do anything to my GPU drivers after trying to get fglrx to work and having it be awful.
[07:15] <samuraibsd> Just went back to the defaults
[07:17] <param_> when i logon to my ubuntu machine, and open webchat.freenode.net    captcha image doesnot come up, what might be issue
[07:23] <samuraibsd> And now I can't seem to uninstall WiiCan...
[07:25] <param_> can;t see captcha on my ubuntu systems on chrome and firefox
[07:26] <cfhowlett> param_, I'd guess java or flash ... Did it ever work?  Did it suddenly stop working?
[07:26] <param_> yes it was working 2 days back
[07:26] <purplehz> hey guys i have access to a remote ubuntu server through ssh
[07:26] <param_> suddenly today captcha is not coming up

[07:27] <purplehz> how do i debug this?
[07:27] <purplehz> is there some log somewhere over what happened to make it freeze?
[07:31] <samuraibsd> Well, that didn't work...

[07:43] <connectind1> any firewall alert app for ubuntu?
[07:43] <somsip> connectind1: what exactly do you want it to do?
[07:44] <connectind1> i want one of those windows firewall block alert
[07:44] <connectind1> why ubuntu doesn't come with such app
[07:44] <hd5770> man cant get this to boot on my pc
[07:44] <somsip> connectind1: you're using a desktop computer and you want something to popup if anyone tries to access your computer over the internet?
[07:45] <salah> Hi, any tips why Ubuntu uses like 10 seconds to turn on screens? 10 secs after touching a button/mouse, the first monitor turns on. After 5 more seconds, monitor 2 turns on. Any ideas?
[07:45] <somsip> salah: is it different with other OSes?
[07:45] <connectind1> yessss
[07:45] <salah> somsip, yes, Windows (or even Arch Linux) uses like 1-2 seconds
[07:45] <samuraibsd> Hah!
[07:45] <samuraibsd> Got it working
[07:46] <samuraibsd> Although it's a bit more involved than I wish it were
[07:46] <somsip> connectind1: try this - not sure if it will suit your needs though http://gufw.org/
[07:46] <connectind1> who else in here  got such notification system installed
[07:46] <somsip> salah: nah - no real idea. My decent monitor takes 1-2 secs and my cheap one take 3-5, so just thought i'd ask the obvious question
[07:47] <Laiquendi> connectind1: I have GUFW and you can somehow enable it to alert you
[07:47] <histo> salah: is the computer hibernating or sleeping?
[07:47] <connectind1> Laiquendi , how to do that?
[07:47] <histo> !details | hd5770
[07:47] <tozen> connectind1: which system?
[07:47] <salah> histo, nothing of these, just locking the screen because of the security rules here
[07:48] <Laiquendi> connectind1: the problem is - I don't remember ;) But I did this some time ago, so it's doable.
[07:48] <connectind1> tozen , firewall alert system

[07:50] <masuran> I have fresh 12.04 server install with libcgroup1 / cgroup-bin and I'm missing the memory subsystem. cat /proc/cgroups shows no sign of the memory subsystem and I can mount my cgroups only with the cpu subsystem
[07:58] <intok> anyone got networking experience?
[07:59] <masuran> intok: What's your question? :)
[07:59] <connectind1> who know how to make this work

[08:00] <connectind1> i can't find notify-send in sofware center
[08:00] <somsip> !find notify-send
[08:00] <masuran> connectind1: try opening a terminal and running sudo apt-get install notify-send
[08:00] <somsip> connectind1: so I'd suggest installing libnotify-bin
[08:01] <connectind1> how to run the script on the website?
[08:01] <connectind1> i tought the latest ubuntu come with default notification system
[08:01] <somsip> connectind1: 1- read the instructions on the website. 2 - follow them
[08:02] <connectind1> will notify-send confict with the default
[08:02] <intok> masuran what on earth is causing my laptop to be able to hold a connection with the router both via ethernet jack or wifi, but constantly not be able to move any data at all. the desktop system connected via ethernet to the same router has no problem with maintaining a connection at full speed. there is nothing on the router eating up any of the bandwidth.
[08:03] <masuran> intok: What do you mean "not be able to move any data at all". Can't reach any websites, can't get mail? ....
[08:03] <histo> intok: dns issues?
[08:03] <intok> masuran connections even to the update servers via synaptic time out from the laptop via either connection type, but the desktop connects fine at full speed.
[08:03] <histo> intok: try ping google.com    vs.  doing a ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:03] <Connections> O.O
[08:03] <connectind1> somsip , nothing appear after followed the instruction
[08:04] <somsip> connectind1: have you experienced an event that should show the popup?
[08:04] <connectind1> should the script end with special extension
[08:05] <intok> masuran as in it'll connect to a server move a small amount of data at full speed, then just stop and refuse to move anymore past that point for as much as 20 mins before allowing any connection to actually complete
[08:05] <somsip> connectind1: no, but it does need to be executable - chmod +x scriptname
[08:06] <masuran> intok: Do you have the same issue with wireless and wire? Did you try only one of the two and not both at the same time?
[08:09] <intok> masuran yeah, I've tried both individually and both at the same time/ pings to <IP_ADDRESS> are actually stable in the low 302s, but I was able to get it to pull 700Mb of files from the repos before it conked out before
[08:09] <intok> *30's
[08:09] <masuran> intok: strange issue. Can't offer more advice than: try to update/upgrade your system and drivers
[08:10] <aladdin> heyya. I need a little word of encouragement because I had so much to learn and so much to fix lately on Ubuntu which kinda discouraged me a bit to use it. But I learned a lot - heck. Masters of Ubuntu?!
[08:11] <vitimiti> hi o/
[08:11] <freddofrog> I've been trying to get a copy of 12.04.2 installed as a paravirt domU under xen but it keeps crashing... I've been doing a bit of googling and also some experiments with other distros (13.04 and centos 6.x) and it seems that there is a problem with the particular kernel and ramdisk for 12.04.2 ... has anyone else had this problem? if so did you fix it and how?
[08:11] <intok> masuran histoand now it dies, left ping going while I connected to a fairly heavy site imgur, since I can keep poking the connection by hitting page down
[08:11] <intok> histo *
[08:12] <auronandace> aladdin: what are you trying to do?
[08:13] <intok> pings to <IP_ADDRESS> are now intermittent sometimes unable to connect sometimes in the low 30's sometimes in the mid 650's...
[08:14] <aladdin> auronandace, I don't where I am going with Ubuntu, but they say programming is a lot easier on Linux than on any other os. So my plan was to finish off learning python and maybe some other web prog. language and get a job.
[08:14] <auronandace> aladdin: plenty of help in #python
[08:16] <aladdin> auronandace, great idea. I should prob learn to narrow down my speciality to python :). cheers cheers cheers!
[08:17] <histo> intok: and you are sure this behavior does not happen on other boxes on the network?
[08:18] <intok>  histo I'm able to talk you you aren't I? This box is connected to the same router, the ping test was done on the laptop via ethernet with the wireless disabled
[08:18] <histo> intok: Try on another box. You may find it's your router or ISP.
[08:20] <intok>  histo have tested it on the desktop, absolutly no issues, full speed, up and down, consistent pings, everything just works as it's supposed to
[08:20] <histo> intok: Try a different port on the router with the laptop then. Do some basic troubleshooting and try and eliminate the problem.
[08:23] <intok>  histo already did, ruled out the cable and the port, tried all 4 ports and 6 cables, the desktop connection, the laptop doesn via ethernet or wifi
[08:25] <intok>  histo tried cat5, 5e and cat6 cables, the ones I started with where cat6
[08:26] <iliv> I'm looking at this USN http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1844-1/ and reading referenced CVE description and it says "If there is a target configured and listening"
[08:26] <iliv> on the network, a remote attacker can corrupt heap memory
[08:26] <histo> intok: What version of ubuntu are you running? And do you have any sort of firewall rules etc..?
[08:27] <iliv> well, I'm not sure what is meant by "if there is a target configured" in this context
[08:27] <iliv> does anyone have an idea?
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> target = the system they are trying to attack is my guess
[08:28] <intok> histo 13.04 64 bit
[08:29] <intok> histo laptop's LSHW http://pastebin.com/CXg1hSGc
[08:29] <iliv> Dr_Willis, yeah, but "configured"? They make it sound as if there have to be special actions taken for a target system to be configured.
[08:29] <jykae_> Hey o/ Can I configure Thunderbird to work with Office 365?
[08:29] <iliv> or is taht just me?
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> 'a potental target is miss-configured to allow the attack to work' ? perhaps

[08:37] <param> these clients work on proxy setting too ?

[08:38] <param> i installed xchat, but couldn't connect it, proxy issue were there
[08:38] <param> ok let me give another try
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> makes me wonder if the proxy may be causing the captua issues
[08:39] <param> no proxy wont be causing this i hope. because i was on the same proxy for the last 2 weeks and this issue never came
[08:41] <stesind> HI, anyone who got a network brigde working with network manager?
[08:43] <statl> param: did you set up your proxy correctly in xchat's settings?
[08:44] <palasso> Hi, I have a Windows 7 and an Ubuntu 13.04 and I'd like the ubuntu machine to share the desktop (remote desktop over the internet) to windows 7 (ubuntu as the server, windows as the client). I managed to do that with VNC as showed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY75u6TthH4 It's working great but I can't share the sound. Is there a way to share the sound from the ubuntu machine to the windows machine?
[08:47] <somsip> palasso: found a surprising hack for this ;-) "If you plug an 3.5 mm aux cable into the microphone and headphone jacks then leave skype calling in the background and view the computer over VNC you will have audio."
[08:48] <somsip> palasso: and a possible real solution though not sure how this fits with VNC http://is.gd/wX9s1l
[08:49] <palasso> somsip, or if I can change the skype settings on skype to use as mic the sound instead of searching for a cable... thnx for the tip somsip :) Though I'd be interested to a solution used on desktop sharing (maybe it'd work better)
[08:50] <palasso> the second solution you're suggesting prolly wouldn't work because the client is windows and I don't think it is compatible with PulseAudio functionalities...
[08:51] <somsip> palasso: yeah, I realised that after but there is a chance you could find something Pulse related for Windows.
[08:52] <palasso> somsip, I just read the second answer and they point to wikipedia on a comparison article (which I already checked out) which supposedly has a VNC client with sound support... But I didn't find any :P
[08:55] <somsip> palasso: yup - dead ends on all searches I do, including the official VNCServer page saying a responding 'no'. there are forks, but I'm finding nothing that supports this, except alternative protocals (Pulse) and OSX
[08:56] <somsip> *forks of VNC
[08:56] <palasso> I was thinking to use RDP instead of VNC but I don't know if it'd work well... (I've found clients that support RDP and sound)
[08:57] <somsip> palasso: you seem to be researching fine. So in the absence of easy solution, I'm doing some work for a bit :)
[08:58] <palasso> thnx somsip :)
[09:00] <darryn> hi guys. im running ubuntu 13.04 and can't find the proxy profiles that are in gnome 2... (im in gnome 3) any idea how to manually configure proxy profiles? I take my work laptop home with me and manually setting proxies is not ideal every time i switch between work and home
[09:00] <palasso> Well either a voice call or RTP or this http://www.radscan.com/nas.html might help

[09:12] <param> but i am able to open other sites
[09:12] <param> why it would block a certain link
[09:12] <somsip> param: do they all use that js file?
[09:12] <param> hmmn,,, that i dont know
[09:13] <somsip> param: so if your proxy has decided to block www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/recaptcha.ajax.js you have your answer
[09:13] <aladdin> histo, hmm I don't remember mentioning it. Firstly, I want to master one programming language at least I guess to land a job
[09:13] <param> yes, how to by pass proxy for this link then
[09:13] <somsip> param: no idea
[09:13] <param> same proxy i am using in windows too
[09:14] <param> but here its working fine
[09:14] <aladdin> histo, windows is just in case I need to work on office
[09:17] <histo> aladdin: libre office can open and edit office documents
[09:20] <aladdin> histo, cool, can I install Photoshop in Ubuntu or does Ubuntu have an alternative?
[09:20] <histo> aladdin: I believe you can run certain versions of photoshop with wine; however, I would use an open source alternative like gimp
[09:21] <histo> aladdin: http://alternativeto.net/  is a wealth of information about alternatives
[09:21] <mhr> Hello I gave a command to loop and create a directory every random seconds in background, on a remote machine. Then after that I closed the ssh session to that remote client. Now I can't stop the background process. and jobs wont show the jobs.
[09:21] <somsip> mhr: how did you run it to keep it runnin gafter disconnect?
[09:22] <mhr> somsip, i gave it to run in background with &
[09:22] <somsip> mhr: so when you disconnected, it died
[09:23] <mhr> somsip, them I logged out from that remote machine
[09:23] <mhr> no I can see its running and keep on creatinf directory
[09:23] <mhr> *creating
[09:23] <johnm> mhr: look for the job using "ps -ef", once you identify which one it is, you can kill it by typing "kill <pid>", where <pid> is the process ID of the job from ps.
[09:24] <johnm> somsip: background jobs can be disowned and become children of init.
[09:25] <mhr> while sleep $(($RANDOM % 10)); do mkdir dir-$RANDOM ;sleep 0.1; done &
[09:25] <somsip> johnm: the OP didn't say he had used disown. If he did, I agree with what you say
[09:25] <mhr> that was the command I gave
[09:25] <johnm> somsip: even if he didn't, it seems pretty clear that what he said meant it was still running :)
[09:25] <mhr> johnm, but i cant see the exact process
[09:26] <param_> somsip :) i fixed it...... thanks a ton . i am on ubuntu now
[09:26] <param_> hey 1 have 1 more issue
[09:26] <mhr> as it is a sequence of processes
[09:26] <somsip> johnm: I try to get people to be clear about what they've done. But it doesn't matter if he's getting sorted out
[09:27] <johnm> mhr: It's likely under a "bash" process since you're using bash builtins. It'll of course be owned by you, it'll probably be the one with the highest time on CPU as well.
[09:30] <mhr> cant find that process exactly
[09:31] <mhr> johnm, how can I check exactly that its the exact process as its still creating the directories
[09:33] <johnm> mhr: unless you're capable of catching the process specifically as it writes the directory, you need to identify it based on owner, process name and process time. It should be reasonably easy to spot given I suspect you have very few bash processes running that are owned by the user you logged in as. Unless of course thats root, and you run everything as shell jobs ;)
[09:34] <somsip> mhr: if you get very lost and need to check the process before you kill it, this *might* help https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr
[09:38] <param___> facing issue with localhost. need to change my localhost settings
[09:40] <tsunamie> I remeber there is a way to setup a unbuntu box to overwrite data for a file that I delete using the standard tools. However I fotgot how to do it
[09:41] <jrib> tsunamie: shred?
[09:41] <tsunamie> google giving me custom delete tools for wiping partitions. I just want files I delete to be over written
[09:41] <tsunamie> jrib - does'nt that wipe entire partitions?
[09:41] <jrib> tsunamie: no, but make sure you read the man page
[09:41] <mhr> narrowing on the bash command I figured out one and killed the process, and BINGO! that was the same process that was the one. thanks johnm and somsip
[09:42] <somsip> mhr: glad you got it sorted
[09:42] <VictorCL> hi
[09:42] <VictorCL> what does -print does ?
[09:42] <somsip> VictorCL: in what context?
[09:43] <VictorCL> I have made this script for a cronjob to delete old backup files
[09:43] <VictorCL> 0 2 * * *  find /backup/DB_autoaula* -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm -f {} \; -print
[09:43] <VictorCL> dont know if the -print is needed since is a cronjob
[09:44] <cruachan> Hello, I'm having issues with Ubuntu 13.04 connecting to a Belkin wifi router.  All my other wifi connections check out.  Is this a good place to ask?
[09:44] <somsip> VictorCL: it looks a bit strange, but I'm no expert on find.
[09:45] <VictorCL> somsip it works fine when I execut it
[09:45] <somsip> VictorCL: thoguh normally I'd have the -print0 before the -exec, so that might be why it looks strange
[09:46] <jrib> VictorCL: I would just use -delete in this case
[09:46] <somsip> VictorCL: print outputs the full filename to stdout, and I believe -exec will pick up that filenamne and parse it through rm -f
[09:47] <VictorCL> it works so I will just leave it like that :P
[09:47] <jrib> VictorCL: what's your question?
[09:48] <VictorCL> my question was "what does -print" does and if is needed since is a cronjob
[09:48] <VictorCL> I trid t o google for "linux -print" and there is nothing
[09:48] <jrib> VictorCL: print prints the filename, you don't need it
[09:48] <VictorCL> linux "-print" neither
[09:48] <somsip> VictorCL: it's part of the find command
[09:49] <somsip> 16:46 < somsip> VictorCL: print outputs the full filename to stdout, and I believe -exec will  pick up that filenamne and parse it through rm -f
[09:49] <jrib> (unless you want to print the filename)
[09:49] <somsip> jrib: good point
[09:49] <VictorCL> so is needed then
[09:50] <param___> can anyone guide me how to use a VM In ubuntu machine
[09:50] <jrib> VictorCL: no.  Unless you want to print the name for some reason (for example you want the name to show up in logs)
[09:50] <VictorCL> jrib ok
[09:50] <VictorCL> thanks :)
[09:52] <cruachan> anyone give me some help troubleshooting a wifi issue?
[09:54] <sienez> hi all! I have in mind the following setting: the computer gets started and boots ubuntu. then I want to login remotely. Is this possible and how? Thanks!
[09:55] <aladdin> param___, do this /j #virtualbox
[09:55] <jrib> sienez: you want to use ssh or graphical?
[09:55] <guest9188> Hi
[09:56] <sienez> jrib, graphical is prefered
[09:56] <jrib> !vnc | sienez
[09:56] <sienez> jrib, yes, I use vnc already. but it's only active when I'm logged in already, no?
[09:56] <jrib> sienez: see the wiki; there are various options
[09:57] <sienez> jrib, will do, thanks!
[09:59] <Noskcaj> What would be the best colour for an Ubuntu PC?
[10:00] <jrib> Noskcaj: colour?  That's largely up to you
[10:00] <sienez> and another thing: where can I set the default kernel version for booting. i.e. I don't want to boot into the latest version but some older version by default
[10:01] <Noskcaj> jrib, Maybe you saw this on PlanetUbuntu. I'm not sure if Orange is still Ubuntu's main colour. maybe i'll just make the case based on Xubuntu instead
[10:01] <jrib> !grub | sienez
[10:04] <MMlosh> Hello  I was used to seeing the next -dev release on http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/<package> , but now I don't. The source package is there, but the binary one is not.   Does anyone know what is going on?  (I am sorry, I don't know how to ask a search engine. I am pretty sure it's known)
[10:05] <MMlosh> There seem to be saucy installation media, so why I am seeing an empty package list?
[10:06] <Guest36217> hi all
[10:07] <Guest36217> got a question about my nvidia
[10:07] <Guest36217> anyone?
[10:08] <Guest36217> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. please edit your X configuration file (just run`nvidia-xconfg` as root), and restart the X server
[10:10] <cruachan> need some help with a wifi connection - anyone give me a hand?
[10:11] <Guest36217> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. please edit your X configuration file (just run`nvidia-xconfg` as root), and restart the X server. any solution?
[10:15] <ak77> hello
[10:15] <Michael__> hi guys im a dev and I just need to find out how big a certain browser window is right now
[10:15] <ak77> apt-get doesn't want to update me to firefox version (i have added ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next)
[10:15] <Michael__> I know theres a way to do like an overlay that shows it but cant remember how to turn it on
[10:15] <Michael__> (shows it when resizing the window)
[10:16] <jrib> Michael__: use developer tools in chromium or firebug in firefox?
[10:17] <Michael__> no I want to know the browser window size so I can communicate it to our testers like
[10:17] <Michael__> "Does not display currently in browser window smaller than XYZ"
[10:17] <Michael__> which takes more into account than just the viewport size
[10:17] <jrib> Michael__: right, don't the tools I mentioned tell you that?
[10:17] <jrib> Michael__: you want the physical window size including toolbars and such?
[10:17] <Michael__> nope, developer tools are just for working with the page. This is menus, borders, etc etc
[10:17] <Michael__> right
[10:18] <jrib> Michael__: you can use xwininfo
[10:18] <Michael__> tis just the kind of way you have to communicate such things with these people
[10:18] <Michael__> ooer, that sounds perfect
[10:18] <Michael__> ill check it out thanks
[10:18] <Michael__> perfect
[10:18] <Michael__> thanks so much
[10:22] <daya> any way to make ubuntu 10.04 iso from scratch using 3.0 kernel
[10:24] <auronandace> daya: that wouldn't be supported
[10:24] <DJones> daya: Desktop or server, Desktop is no longer supported, but there are tools to remaster the iso
[10:24] <DJones> !remaster | daya
[10:24] <Guest36217> hey guys
[10:24] <Guest36217> got a qusetion
[10:25] <Guest36217> i just updated my ubuntu to 13.04
[10:25] <daya> DJones: I am searching for server,
[10:25] <Guest36217> now i cant run my dual monitor and no x server
[10:25] <Guest36217> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. please edit your X configuration file (just run`nvidia-xconfg` as root), and restart the X server.
[10:25] <DJones> daya: Have a look at the links ubottu gave, hopefully that will get you started
[10:26] <daya> DJones: thanks :)
[10:26] <DJones> daya: It may be worth asking the question in #ubuntu-server to see whether its possible to use the 3.0 kernel before you go too far down the way though
[10:27] <Guest36217> @Djones do you the solution?
[10:27] <daya> DJones: hmm, ok
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: which version did you upgrade from?
[10:27] <Guest36217> 11 i guess
[10:28] <DJones> Guest36217: Sorry, I've not used nvidia on 13.04
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: there is no ubuntu 11
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: was it 11.10?
[10:28] <Guest36217> i dont remember that
[10:28] <Guest36217> maybe
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: was it 12.10?
[10:28] <Guest36217> but worked fine
[10:28] <Guest36217> 12.10
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: ok that's cool
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: if you uninstall then reinstall the driver it will probably work
[10:29] <eexp> hi, i just install 12.04 on dell xps 14 using live usb disk, all seems ok, but reboot, it show blank screen and nothing else. anyone can help?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: just so you know, 13.04 is EOL before 12.10
[10:30] <eexp> i use legacy mode.
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> Guest36217: are you using nouveau driver now? and were you using it before?
[10:31] <eexp> no one use dell xps 14?
[10:32] <Guest36217> on 12.10, nVidia X Server
[10:32] <Guest36217> but here i have the same, with errors
[10:32] <aladdin> ActionParsnip, what is EOL?
[10:33] <ak77> apt-get doesn't want to update me to the firefox-next version (22 at the moment)  I have added ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next using add-apt-repository
[10:33] <DJones> aladdin: EOL is End of Life, the date when an Ubuntu version stops being supported
[10:33] <DJones> !eol | aladdin
[10:33] <Hexagonite> Need help, I upgraded to 13.04 and Soundcloud doesn't work. (I don't know why)
[10:33] <Guest36217> 13.04 sux completely
[10:38] <brainwash> ak77: did you run "apt-get update"? what's the output of "apt-cache policy firefox"?
[10:48] <ak77> brainwash: I did apt-get update, cache policy firefox outputs just versions 20 and 7
[10:50] <brainwash> ak77: and 7? which release of ubuntu are you actually using?
[10:52] <brainwash> the firefox-next ppa offers packages for 12.04 or higher
[10:53] <ThinkT510> no idea why you'd need a firefox ppa, firefox is in the repos and it gets updated regularly
[10:53] <spacedust> hi
[10:54] <spacedust> how could i make a bootable usb drive with Ubuntu 13.04 ? i tryed using Unetbootin but it doesn't works it won't copy over the files
[10:54] <spacedust> is there some other method ?
[10:54] <ThinkT510> spacedust: dd
[10:55] <spacedust> ThinkT510: just dd it to a partition that is marked bootable ?
[10:55] <brainwash> ThinkT510: he asked about the current beta release of firefox
[10:55] <spacedust> dont i need a bootloader on /dev/sdb ?
[10:55] <sienez> I have in my /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT="2>Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-24-generic" however it does not go into the submenu, but it only marks it. How can I boot the older kernel automatically?
[10:55] <ThinkT510> spacedust: no, just dd it to the whole usb (not a partition)
[10:56] <spacedust> ThinkT510: well yeah but then my 8gb usb is unusable
[10:56] <spacedust> but heck ill try it :)
[10:57] <ThinkT510> spacedust: sorry, i thought you just wanted to install from usb (just make a live usb)
[10:57] <ak77> brainwash: oneiric
[10:57] <ThinkT510> !pm | spacedust
[10:57] <brainwash> ak77: looks like you should update to precise :)
[10:57] <ThinkT510> ak77: 11.10 is no longer supported
[10:58] <spacedust> ThinkT510 what about this method : http://www.sysresccd.org/Howto_install-usb-stick ?
[11:01] <param_> when i run localhost on my browser, the page gets downloaded instead of showing something on browser, working with magento installation
[11:01] <sienez> how can I boot into an older kernel version with grub?
[11:01] <marianne> good morning.. I'm having trouble installing java. I'm using 12.04 64 bit...downloaded the rpm and attempted to use alien to do the install
[11:01] <sienez> the version is hidden under the submenu with older versions
[11:01] <sienez> using "2>..." does not enter the submenu, it only marks it
[11:01] <marianne> I'm getting a file not found error. I've tried all different 'paths' to the file and nothing
[11:02] <DJones> !java | marianne Why are using alien for an rpm, the links from Ubottu gives details on how to install java safely, rpm's aren't supported in this channel,
[11:03] <jrib> marianne: you shouldn't use rpms or alien
[11:03] <ThinkT510> !java | marianne
[11:04] <marianne> jrib: thanks... the bot caught it
[11:04] <marianne> jrib:it's a Monday :-(
[11:07] <VictorCL> when I make modifications to logrotate .. should I restart the service or how does it work for the changes to be applied?
[11:07] <bekks> VictorCL: You have to reload the service at least.
[11:07] <spacedust> should i select download updates while installing ?
[11:07] <bekks> Yes.
[11:07] <sagar> do anybody have experience on  DELL R720 with ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[11:07] <bekks> !anyone | sagar
[11:08] <ThinkT510> sagar: 10.04 is only supported on server now
[11:08] <VictorCL> bekks how do I reload the service?
[11:09] <sagar> Yes, 10.04.4 LTS is supported on Server. But, 10.04 LTS is not supported in DELL R720 by default
[11:09] <bekks> VictorCL: service name reload
[11:10] <ThinkT510> sagar: you need to give the specs for us to have any idea
[11:10] <VictorCL> You don't. logrotate is being run from cron, it's not a daemon.
[11:11] <sagar> ThinkT510 : I need to upgrade kernel 2.6 of ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS to 3.0 to support DELL R720. But, only online installation is supported with netboot_iso.
[11:11] <ak77> brainwash: doing just that. thank you.
[11:11] <bekks> sagar: Why dont you use 12.04 then?
[11:11] <ThinkT510> sagar: then why haven't you tried 12.04?
[11:12] <oleb> !details
[11:12] <sagar> bekks : We are using 10.04 LTS in our production environment with some applications compiled to run on that. So, migrating directly to 12.04 is not possible as of now.
[11:13] <Ben64> stuff that runs on 10.04 will likely work on 12.04
[11:13] <ThinkT510> sagar: well running 10.04 with a 3.0 kernel isn't supported
[11:13] <bekks> sagar: Then you will be setting up the first production server with 12.04 :)
[11:13] <daya> ThinkT510: We can install 3.0 kernel in 10.04 isn't it?
[11:14] <bekks> daya: There is no 3.x kernel for 10.04 in the repos.
[11:14] <ThinkT510> daya: you can but there wouldn't be much point in using an lts with an unsupported kernel
[11:14] <daya> ThinkT510: hmm, sagar, ?
[11:14] <ThinkT510> daya: you'd have to completely maintain the kernel yourself
[11:14] <sagar> bekks : I will for sure do with 12.04 in future. But, I will need to take care of running production Systems. I am in need of 10.04 existing environment to work with DELL R720.
[11:15] <bekks> sagar: If you need a 3.x kernel for doing so - it isnt supported.
[11:15] <Ben64> sagar: sounds like its time to upgrade
[11:15] <sagar> ThinkT510 : I followed this link http://devops.rackspace.com/using-a-custom-kernel-with-cloud-servers.html
[11:15] <sagar> It says yes
[11:15] <bekks> sagar: It is possible, but not supported.
[11:15] <sagar> But, only netboot_iso i.e online installation is possible
[11:16] <Ben64> it'd also be much easier to just install 12.04
[11:16] <jrib> bekks: there is a 3.0 kernel from oneiric (linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric), but I agree sagar should just use 12.04
[11:16] <sagar> bekks : hmm... I thought with the cloud work on that part. It is supported. :(
[11:16] <bekks> sagar: Supported by rackspace - not by ubuntu.
[11:17] <daya> ThinkT510: there might be some way  on creating 10.04 iso using 3.0 kernel, though its not supported, am i right?
[11:17] <bekks> daya: Yes.
[11:17] <ThinkT510> daya: yes
[11:17] <sagar> bekks : So, you mean. I have no options for 10.04 LTS to support DEll R720.
[11:18] <ThinkT510> daya: why you would do that for a production system is beyond me
[11:18] <Ben64> 10.04 is over 3 years old. why not upgrade?
[11:18] <bekks> sagar: Correct. If you want your production environment to be supported by Ubuntu, use 12.04.
[11:18] <bekks> Ben64: Because its receiving updates until 2015.
[11:18] <jrib> sagar: I think what we are telling you is that your *best* option is to use 12.04.  You can certainly work something out to stick with 10.04 but it will likely be harder and cause you more headaches
[11:18] <bekks> But yes, time to upgrade to 12.04 now.
[11:18] <Ben64> bekks: doesn't mean it should be used
[11:19] <bekks> Ben64: Not necessarily.
[11:19] <Ben64> why anyone would install 10.04 now is beyond me
[11:19] <bekks> Ben64: Because it is still supported.
[11:19] <ironhalik> Hello
[11:19] <Ben64> bekks: read what i said again
[11:20] <bekks> Ben64: Same for you.
[11:20] <histo> bekks: 12.04 is LTS also
[11:20] <Ben64> a fresh install, there is no reason to use 10.04
[11:20] <bekks> histo: I know. And 10.04 is LTS also.
[11:20] <bekks> Ben64: Do you know his environment? How can you tell "there is no need to"?
[11:20] <sagar> jrib : Agreed, time is the only constraint. And, the sad part was I started with rackspace link and said yes it can be done :(
[11:20] <Ben64> bekks: because there is no need to
[11:21] <jrib> sagar: are you sure that there are issues running your software on 12.04?
[11:21] <histo> sagar: what is the problem you are experiencing?
[11:21] <sagar> Now, I have already invited headaches on that part
[11:21] <ironhalik> I've just installed my new Nvidia card, and installed nvidia-313-updates package for it. lightdm starts, guest account works ok, but on my account, there's no unity panels or dash (there are windows secorations - title bar, taskbar on terminal etc). Any advice?
[11:21] <bekks> Ben64: Its pointless to discuss with people like you who only take care of having the latest version.
[11:21] <Ben64> bekks: you just seem to like arguing about dumb stuff
[11:21] <jrib> let's calm down, I'm not even sure what you guys are arguing about
[11:21] <histo> ironhalik: fix your account settings or resolution possibly?
[11:21] <daya> jrib: sagar has build his product using 10.04, and runs in it smoothly,  have a larger dependency and library problem in 12.04,
[11:21] <ThinkT510> bekks: lts releases overlap so you have a little time to transition to the next one
[11:22] <bekks> Ben64: I dont like to argue, I dont like to discuss with you. EOD.
[11:22] <bekks> ThinkT510: Yeah, about three years time.
[11:22] <sagar> jrib : No, we are in process of doing that within few months of time. But, we have an immediate requirement to do that for DELL R720 Support which requires updated kernel as pointed by rackspace.
[11:22] <ironhalik> histo: Yeah, probably, but I have no idea where to start
[11:23]  * ActionParsnip points out Wikipedia use Lucid server :)
[11:23] <ironhalik> what was the command to reset unity settings (I use ccsm for some custom stuff)
[11:23] <ThinkT510> sagar: if you do that then you just simply cannot get support here
[11:23] <sagar> histo : problem is I will need to integrate 10.04 libraries and our applications which runs well with 10.04 LTS to run with new kernel 3.0.
[11:23] <histo> sagar: have you checked in backports?
[11:23] <histo> !backports | sagar
[11:23] <ThinkT510> sagar: your requirements don't change the rules of this channel
[11:23] <histo> sagar: I believe the kernel team also has a ppa
[11:23] <jrib> sagar: so why don't you follow the rackspace instructions and deal with them?  Just keep in mind you should be making the transition to 12.04 as soon as you can.  If you can get an install, there is a 3.0 kernel in the repos provided by the linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric package
[11:25] <sagar> histo : yes, I am trying with that backports.
[11:25] <sagar> ubotto : thanks, I will do if that helps
[11:25] <jrib> linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric should just be in main
[11:26] <jrib> yeah, lucid-updates/main and lucid-security/main
[11:26] <histo> jrib: yeah but i'm sure they have some reason as to why not.  They did it with precise... Quantal went more than main
[11:26] <sagar> Jrib : They are not entertaining comments. I thought, I will get some idea in this pool,thats why.
[11:26] <jrib> histo: as to why not what?
[11:30] <jrib> sagar: well I think basically, the consensus is that ideally you would install 12.04.  You said that's not possible for a few months because of things beyond your control.  So you're stuck with installing 10.04 and upgrading as soon as possible. To install 10.04, you'll likely have to spin your own install disc.  If you can get an install with the older kernel however, you can then just use the 3.0 kernel by
[11:30] <jrib> installing the lts-backport package I mentioned.  That's my summary anyway
[11:35] <absoloot1y> exit
[11:43] <Krambiorix> hi, i try to connect to my server via nautilus (ssh) but i get the error : ssh program unexpectedly exited.... What can i do?
[11:44] <Kartagis> !find ssh-import-id
[11:44] <ThinkT510> Krambiorix: use ssh in a terminal
[11:44] <Krambiorix> ThinkT510, yes?
[11:44] <Krambiorix> ThinkT510, i did and i got connected
[11:46] <histo> Krambiorix: if you ssh://some.server  in nautilus it should open a sftp window
[11:47] <Krambiorix> histo, same error
[11:48] <Krambiorix> i remember from the last time that i had to remove some certificates or something....
[11:49] <histo> Krambiorix: check in your ~/.ssh
[11:50] <Krambiorix> histo, should i remove known_hosts?
[11:50] <hd5770> why will ubuntu not boot at tall fon my system ive usb and wbuiu windows bases installer and all seem to hit some error or a nother
[11:50] <histo> Krambiorix: When you use the terminal to ssh into the remote box are you using password or key based login?
[11:51] <cfhowlett> hd5770, wubi?  wubi is no longer supported and will be allowed to die.  did you md5sum check your iso?
[11:51] <histo> !wubi | hd5770
[11:51] <Krambiorix> histo, passw
[11:51] <histo> Krambiorix: try sftp some.server  in terminal and see if it works
[11:51] <histo> Krambiorix: also are you using the same username on your system and the remote one?
[11:52] <Krambiorix> histo, yes
[11:52] <histo> Krambiorix: yes to which?
[11:52] <zekoZeko> how long does a kernel build take these days? (2500MHz athlon x2)
[11:53] <hd5770> 8d72e2db7e72e13813731eab37a14d26 *ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[11:53] <Krambiorix> histo, sft some.server works  and ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>works
[11:53] <Krambiorix> histo, also i use the same username
[11:53] <cfhowlett> hd5770, so ... is that a match or what?
[11:53] <vonlansa> hi there. anyone has some spare minutes to help a n00b? I just installed Ubuntu 12.04LTS (64 bit) and I'm unable to connect to wireless [seems to me like a driver problem]. I already checked that the device is neither hard- nor software blocked...
[11:53] <histo> Krambiorix: why are you ssh'ng as root?
[11:54] <Krambiorix> histo, it's a test server
[11:54] <hd5770> i dunno how i check
[11:54] <histo> Krambiorix: are you sftp'ng as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>also?
[11:54] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|hd5770,
[11:54] <Krambiorix> histo yes
[11:54] <histo> Krambiorix: well nautilus is not running as root
[11:54] <histo> Krambiorix: so it's trying<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:55] <zekoZeko> not if you connect to sftp://user@host/
[11:55] <zekoZeko> in nautilus (via gvfs)
[11:55] <Krambiorix> histo,  i use the "connect to server" in nautilus
[11:55] <histo> Krambiorix: ^^^^^^
[11:55] <hd5770> andf the md5 sum for the iso image i have that is www. ?? ?
[11:55] <histo> Krambiorix: can you pastebin the error you are getting or paste a screenshot of it to imagebin
[11:55] <Krambiorix> histo, zekoZeko so i can input the username
[11:55] <hd5770> !mirrors
[11:56] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: yes, you have to, otherwise it defaults to your local username
[11:56] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: and if that doesn't work on the server, it will fail to connect.
[11:56] <histo> Krambiorix: also I would check the auth.log on your server when you try and connect
[11:56] <zekoZeko> this
[11:56] <zekoZeko> first
[11:56] <zekoZeko> check log on server
[11:56] <hd5770> Its a mach
[11:57] <hd5770> so its a lame old out dated Wubi installer failing me here
[11:57] <cfhowlett> hd5770, quite possibly.
[11:57] <zekoZeko> why wubi at all?
[11:57] <hd5770> and the usb install hits a fail to cant find boot image and drops me to a boot>
[11:57] <zekoZeko> just make a netinstall cd or usb stick
[11:58] <Krambiorix> zekoZeko, histo http://imagebin.org/260063
[11:58] <zekoZeko> oh ok
[11:58] <zekoZeko> but ssh root@server and sftp root@server work?
[11:59] <Krambiorix> zekoZeko, yes
[11:59] <hd5770> my CD's are to small
[11:59] <zekoZeko> you can try from command line
[11:59] <zekoZeko> gvfs-mount sftp://root@server/
[11:59] <cfhowlett> hd5770, CD?  try usb
[11:59] <hd5770> and i only have onecomputer so a net install would fail all so #ubuntu
[11:59] <vonlansa> anyone has a minute or two to help me, please? I just installed Ubuntu 12.04LTS (64 bit) and I'm unable to connect to wireless. I already checked that the device is neither hard- nor software blocked... but now I'm stuck  =((
[11:59] <zekoZeko> it might give you more info on why it's failing
[11:59] <histo> vonlansa: what chipset?
[11:59] <Krambiorix> zekoZeko, histo , in auth.log::  Failed password for root from XX.XX.XXX.X port 40162 ssh2  -> but i use the correct one
[12:00]  * cfhowlett ... bets on realtek
[12:00] <vonlansa> histo: chipset?
[12:00] <vonlansa> its a HP eliteBook 8470p with intel core i7
[12:00] <histo> vonlansa: lspci | grep Network
[12:00] <hd5770> lame
[12:00] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: if command line works (sftp) really try gvfs-mount, please, it should show more info.
[12:01] <Krambiorix> zekoZeko, gvfs-mount:  same error (Error mounting location: ssh program unexpectedly exited)
[12:01] <zekoZeko> ok
[12:01] <vonlansa> Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
[12:01] <cfhowlett> vonlansa, can you get a hardwire connection?
[12:01] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: i'll check what exactly gvfs runs, just a sec.
[12:02] <repozitor> there is no linux source at "/usr/src/linux"
[12:02] <histo> !bcm | vonlansa
[12:02] <hd5770> !usb
[12:02] <histo> vonlansa: basically you need firmware for broadcom cards
[12:02] <repozitor> i need to install tun/tap, but get this error during ./configure
[12:02] <vonlansa> I can't test with ethernet, cause I'm at work and ethernet is blocked
[12:02] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: mine runs this: /usr/bin/ssh -oForwardX11 no -oForwardAgent no -oClearAllForwardings yes -oProtocol 2 -oNoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes -l b -s xx.xx.xx.xx sftp
[12:02] <histo> !offline | vonlansa
[12:02] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: try running this from command line
[12:03] <cfhowlett> vonlansa, that bites ...
[12:03] <repozitor> any hope?
[12:03] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: also change -l b to -l root and xx.xx.xx.xx to your server name (i used the ip address, but you use what you need)
[12:03] <maocheia> can anyone tell-me where i can download  the libappmenu.so file for ubuntu 13.04
[12:04] <vonlansa> ok, I will try. thx for help. I will be back later if it doesnt work. THX so much!
[12:04] <histo> repozitor: Why are you compiling from source?
[12:04] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: when this works, it will also work in nautilus
[12:04] <Krambiorix> zekoZeko, thanks but: command-line line 0: Missing yes/no argument
[12:04] <repozitor> histo, because of this package does not exist on ubuntu repositoury
[12:05] <histo> repozitor: what package is that?
[12:05] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: indeed...
[12:05] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: let me check why, this shows up in ps output
[12:06] <repozitor> histo, TUN/TAP
[12:06] <histo> repozitor: sudo modprobe tun
[12:06] <hd5770> this sucks
[12:07] <repozitor> what is modprobe in this context?
[12:07] <histo> repozitor: there is also tunctl
[12:07] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: sorry i can't be of more help ATM, gotta go.
[12:08] <repozitor> modeprobe : command not found
[12:08] <repozitor> install modeprobe from apt-get ?
[12:08] <Krambiorix> zekoZeko, ok thanks!

[12:08] <histo> repozitor: no just read the above
[12:09] <zekoZeko> Krambiorix: don't worry about this last error, i also see it if i try to run ssh manually, but it works under gvfs so this is not your problem.

[12:33] <exnor> hey
[12:33] <exnor> i'm having trouble accessing my ntfs-mounted drives over the network (from a windows machine)
[12:34] <exnor> i've edited my fstab appropriately, and the drive has equivalent of 777
[12:35] <linu> i am using ubuntu OS in my host..so copied the ubuntu  /lib/firmware/       content  htc_7010.fw , htc_9271.fw  firmwares to my embedded device, but no improvement and i compiled driver as a module and updated to kernel using modprobe but not getting wlan0
[12:35] <bekks> exnor: And which trouble do you have?
[12:35] <exnor> bekks: i'm getting permission denied from the windows machine
[12:35] <exnor> (i've shared a bunch of folders)
[12:35] <bekks> exnor: So you mounted ntfs filesystems and shared them - how?
[12:36] <linu> i am using device Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9030 NetGear, Inc.
[12:37] <exnor> bekks: i have entries in fstab which auto mount the drive at boot
[12:37] <bekks> exnor: So how did you share them, so windows would be able to access your shares?
[12:37] <exnor> bekks: and i've shared them via the ubuntu gui - right clicking and setting sharing options (allowing guests etc too)
[12:37] <hd5770> nope
