[12:03] <PeterGriffin> Ok. Thank you.
[12:03] <ObrienDave> dang, and I thought the full moon was last week. that's what I get for thinking. sheesh
[12:04] <Rory> ArielX_: First result for Googling that error: http://askubuntu.com/questions/282387/error-no-such-schema-com-canonical-desktop-interface
[12:04] <Rory> ArielX_: The solution you are trying to do is suitable for Ubuntu versions 12.10 and not for 12.04 LTS.
[12:07] <minas> When I boot my PC, firefox takes about 17 seconds to open, and about 4 more seconds to be usable (as the home page is still blank). Is this normal?
[12:07] <babinlonston> help me any one ............... ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access / on this server.
[12:07] <babinlonston> Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at <IP_ADDRESS> Port 80
[12:08] <Gentoo64> minas: no
[12:08] <minas> Gentoo64, what might be the cause?
[12:08] <Rory> minas: Does it occur on another user? Such as the guest user?
[12:08] <minas> Rory, didn't try to be honest
[12:08] <Rory> minas: That's why I was asking, I was prompting you to try now :)
[12:08] <Gentoo64> minas: might be the firefox profile, try renaming it
[12:08] <yenal> geirha: is it better to use <,>,=,!= and so on or -gt, -lt, -eq, -ne ?
[12:09] <lagerpc> Does anyone here have any tips on what GPU I should get for a laptop to play new games, not necessarily with good graphics. It should be easy to install the drivers (having problems with Optimus now), and don't know how nVidia and ATI will evolve, or how well Iris Pro do on games :/
[12:09] <Gentoo64> minas mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozillabackup
[12:09] <Gentoo64> then try it
[12:09] <minas> Gentoo64, ok
[12:09] <Rory> minas: Or try another user if you have one; same result
[12:10] <minas> Rory, i will make one in a bit cause I can't restart now :) thanks for the help gusy
[12:10] <minas> guys
[12:10] <Rory> minas: You don't need to restart
[12:10] <Rory> minas: You can switch users with the menu in the top-right corner without logging out of your current user
[12:10] <minas> Rory, but I don't, won't firefox be in RAM?
[12:11] <Rory> minas: It'll help me know if the problem is with your profile or not
[12:11] <geirha> yenal: In #bash we recommend using (( )) to test numbers, and [[ to tests strings and files. And in ((, the operators are < and > etc, -gt -lt etc are not valid there.
[12:11] <yenal> ah okay thank you
[12:12] <geirha> yenal: In [[, both > and -gt are valid operators, but they do different things. > compares strings lexicographically (ala strcmp in C), while -gt compares integers
[12:12] <cfhowlett> minas, it's always been that way or is it a recent change?
[12:12] <BluesKaj> lagerpc:  check this out , http://askubuntu.com/questions/348614/bumblebee-on-ubuntu-13-04-with-geforce-750m-and-driver-319
[12:12] <minas> Rory, ok doing it kno
[12:12] <minas> *now
[12:14] <Rory> "without logging out" *whoosh*
[12:14] <yenal> geirha: so I can keep in mind (( $x < y )) for numbers and [[ ${x[*]} > ${y[*]} ]] for strings/arrays and so on
[12:14] <lagerpc> BluesKaj: That is more than I want to go through to install a driver :/ I tried to install nvidia-prime, -settings and -319, but that ruined the graphical setting so I can't get in to the desktop again :/
[12:15] <lagerpc> BluesKaj: So I just want something that works. Like it did before Optimus, or like it does with Intel.
[12:15] <minas> cfhowlett, Rory, I don't remember exactly, but it's been quite some time. Ok I logged in from guest account and firefox opened in <2 seconds
[12:15] <Gentoo64> minas: its probably the extensions, or some of the profile is messed up
[12:16] <Rory> minas: OK so the problem is somewhere in your firefox profile. Try removing addons you don't use, and press ctrl+shift+delete in Firefox to delete your browsing history and other stuff
[12:16] <BluesKaj> lagerpc:  got bumblebee installed ?
[12:17] <minas> Gentoo64, well, I use xmarks, adblock plus, easy youtube downloader, html5 pdf viewer (and some more which where pre-installed by ubuntu)
[12:17] <geirha> yenal: Yes, though note that ${x[*]} expands into a string, and you don't need $ in front of variables in ((
[12:17] <Rory> minas: Then yes it is normal for Firefox to take that long to start
[12:17] <lagerpc> BluesKaj: I had on Ubuntu 13.04. Started applications with optirun, but didn't work on games like GW2 or through Steam.
[12:17] <Gentoo64> minas: try removing the ectension 1 by1 and see what one slows it down
[12:17] <cfhowlett> minas, or, if you've set up autoupdate, your traffic was clogged.
[12:18] <BluesKaj> ok nm , too many restrictions , lagerpc , perhaps someone else can help
[12:18] <lagerpc> BluesKaj: But it did work when I testet with and without with the glxsphere in the terminal.
[12:18] <minas> cfhowlett, I haven't. is that a plugin too?
[12:19] <cfhowlett> minas, no that would be an Ubuntu system setting.
[12:19] <lagerpc> BluesKaj: Well, I am more looking for a PC without Optimus, that has good drivers, and work with newer games. Sad that it has to be this much troubles just to install a driver :/
[12:19] <minas> cfhowlett, Oh, I don't think I have. Ok I will try remove one at a time
[12:20] <BluesKaj> lagerpc:  well that's your call
[12:20] <lagerpc> BluesKaj: What do you mean?
[12:20] <Rory> lagerpc: I have a PC that meets your description, and I've always just installed the driver from the driver tool without issue. So it's not universal, it's just Optimus
[12:21] <BluesKaj> lagerpc:  your decision
[12:21] <lagerpc> Rory: But the drivers does not show in the driver tool. It just say it is no drivers needed.
[12:22] <Rory> lagerpc: Yes but you said "I am... looking for a PC... that has good drivers... this much trouble just to install a driver"
[12:23] <Rory> lagerpc: And I'm demonstrating that what you're implying (driver installion on Ubuntu is impossibly difficult) is plain wrong
[12:25] <lagerpc> Rory: It is not impossible, but it is way harder than it was before Optimus came. On 13.04 I tried with bumblebee, but didn't seems to get it to work playing games through another client for some reason. On 13.10, I tried with -prime, -settings and -319, but now I can't get into the desktop. I would rather support someone who makes it easier for Linux users that what nvidia does now.
[12:26] <Rory> lagerpc: I'd recommend an AMD graphics card in that case, since that is what I have and it works
[12:26] <Rory> lagerpc: Although AMD graphics cards bring their own, different set of issues, it's overwhelmingly nvidia problems I see in this channel
[12:27] <thief_and_a_liar> when can we buy an ubunu phone?
[12:27] <Rory> !phone | thief_and_a_liar
[12:28] <lagerpc> Rory: That is kind of what I am leaning towards. But from 2003-2004, I have always chosen nVidia since it has been so easy to install. The last laptop has only been struggles when it comes to Linux. But then again, I often read that it is not easy to install ATI drivers and that the nVidia has better performance. So I am leaning towards Iris Pro, but somewhat skeptical about performance.
[12:29] <Rory> lagerpc: you could get an nvidia card that doesn't have optimis (am I right in saying that's a way to switch between integrated and discrete graphics?)
[12:30] <babinlonston> resmir: hi
[12:30] <babinlonston> resmir: hii
[12:30] <mjayk> lagerpc: im the same leaning towards iris on laptops but id like to see it work first :D
[12:31] <wawrek> hello, I have problems while booting ubuntu 13.04. it takes a while before loading the logging page and then I can see any bars, menus, tools, only some files on the desktop. I can launch the terminal though.
[12:32] <Rory> wawrek: Does this occur on all users, or just one?
[12:32] <wawrek> all users
[12:32] <Rory> wawrek: Is your system fully up-to-date: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:33] <lagerpc> Rory: As far I have understood, it is. some laptops also gives the option to turn it off in BIOS as well, not mine of course. Had no clue I needed to check upon these things since I though everything would just work as usual.
[12:34] <wawrek> Rory: when I run a dist-upgrade I get an error, here is the paste: http://pastebin.com/S8dRy5r6
[12:34] <lagerpc> mjayk: There was an article, I'll see if I can find it. Think it gives some clues of what to expect.
[12:34] <Rory> wawrek: Is your disk full? Can you put the output of: "df -h" on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[12:35] <wawrek> Rory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179402/
[12:35] <wawrek> above the output of 'df -h'
[12:36] <Rory> wawrek: wget rory.sh/fixpackages; sh fixpackages
[12:36] <Rory> wawrek: You get a prize for an error I've never encountered before :)
[12:38] <wawrek> Rory: thanks, I run your script, will post the results to paste.ubuntu
[12:38] <Rory> wawrek: Maybe, try rebooting and see if it fixed it#
[12:38] <mrrcp> is there a code generator app that i can install with apt-get
[12:38] <mrrcp> ?
[12:38] <Rory> mrrcp: code generator?
[12:38] <mrrcp> yea
[12:39] <zykotick9> wawrek: looks like your /boot is almost full.  and dist-upgrade might be trying to install a new kernel (i don't vist pastebin.com so i can't see your origional paste)
[12:39] <mrrcp> you know like two step auth
[12:39] <Rory> mrrcp: Of course, how silly of me
[12:39] <Rory> zykotick9: Good call!
[12:39] <Rory> wawrek: Did my script run without error?
[12:40] <Rory> zykotick9: It almost certainly is that, since it was failing on installing a kernel package :)
[12:41] <mrrcp> so?
[12:41] <mjayk> lagerpc: cheers
[12:41] <Rory> mrrcp: What are you trying to do? Authenticate with Google or something?
[12:41] <wawrek> Rory: here is the message of your script http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6179428/
[12:41] <Rory> mrrcp: Or are you trying to develop your own application which uses two-factor authentication?
[12:42] <mrrcp> yea ... i use two step with  google, facebook, microsoft etc
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> mrrcp  tip: there's also #ubuntu-app-devel

[12:53] <dlynch> Hi, I need help logging into X. As soon as I log in, something crashes X and I'm dumped back into the login screen immediately. I'm 99% sure it's because I'm not longer using an external monitor on my laptop. The guest user works fine (using it now). I don't know how to fix this.
[12:53] <oli_> novel moonlight was working before but closed down
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> oli_  there you have it
[12:54] <zykotick9> dlynch: log into console (ctrl+alt+f1), then "ls -al" do you see files owned by root?
[12:54] <Rory> MonkeyDust: Sorry what was me?
[12:54] <dlynch> zykotick9, nope, all looks normal
[12:55] <zykotick9> dlynch: ok, best of luck.
[12:55] <dlynch> zykotick9, the only one owned by root is .Xauthority
[12:55] <zykotick9> ;)
[12:55] <MonkeyDust> Rory  that bash you suggested earlier, i tested it in a chroot : "bash: !d': event not found"
[12:56] <zykotick9> dlynch: "sudo chown YOURUSENAME:YOURUSERNAME .Xauthority"
[12:56] <oli_> so there is no help?
[12:56] <Rory> !silverlight | oli_
[12:57] <dlynch> ok thanks zykotick9 let me logout and try that
[12:57] <geirha> MonkeyDust: possibly running it in a chroot introduced that error
[12:57] <lotuspsychje> is it safe to make an unattended ubuntu install?
[12:57] <wawrek> Rory: thanks for your help. was the output of your script normal?
[12:59] <oli_> sorry did not work
[12:59] <Rory> wawrek: No, did you run that crazy long command I said to?
[12:59] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje:  only after you choose the location, and fill out username and password fields
[12:59] <matthias_arch> hello, can somebody help me with streaming my screen over network with ffmpeg?
[13:00] <Rory> oli_: Did not work? How are you testing?
[13:00] <Rory> matthias_arch: How far have you got?
[13:00] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: any packages you can recommend to make an unattended setup?
[13:00] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje:  unless of course you nned to edit partitions etc
[13:00] <oli_> i runned " sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla "
[13:00] <Rory> oli_: What Ubuntu version are you using?
[13:01] <wawrek> Rory: I did and it did return an error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179485/
[13:01] <oli_> 12.04
[13:01] <wawrek> looks like a problem with my kernel
[13:01] <matthias_arch> Rory: I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and want to display the screen in vlc
[13:01] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje:  it will install default packages , then you can install what you want to add later
[13:01] <Rory> wawrek: No it doesn't, it's a problem with your package manager
[13:02] <wawrek> Rory: good, what should I do?
[13:02] <zykotick9> wawrek: these "Input/output error" in your outputs, might be a bad sign...
[13:02] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: you know name of a package that can create such install?
[13:02] <BluesKaj> no
[13:02] <wawrek> Zack_Deee: hardware problems?
[13:02] <Rory> wawrek: Can you show me "df -h" again?
[13:03] <wawrek> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179500/
[13:03] <wawrek> Rory: 'df -h' http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179500/
[13:03] <matthias_arch> Rory: I'm using this code ffmpeg -f x11grab -y -r 20 -s 1400x1050 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 25 -an -f mpegts -threads 0 -g 30 udp://<IP_ADDRESS>:1234
[13:03] <geirha> oli_: If you're trying to use some silverligt with DRM, then forget about it, it's unlikely there'll ever be drm support for linux
[13:04] <oli_> ok i have a other issue too. i cant run dvd zone 3. is this softwear or hardwear problem. i can run dvd zone 2
[13:04] <damon> thanks zykotick9 that worked... I have no idea how root came to own .Xauthority!
[13:04] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje:  after an install then you can add the packages you want or remove apps you don't want or need then use aptoncd as a backup that can be used to install exactly what you want on ther pcs
[13:04] <wawrek> zykotick9: do you think it is not related to software but hardware?
[13:04] <zykotick9> damon: DON'T use sudo with GUI apps!  see "/msg ubottu gksudo" for details.
[13:05] <damon>  /msg ubottu gksudo
[13:05] <zykotick9> wawrek: the I/O errors MAY mean you have a failing drive... or i may not?  but i'd make backups while you can.

[13:12] <Rory> vijaya: if you select an older kernel version from Grub, does that boot sucesfully?
[13:13] <vijaya> no, I tried to recover it from recoverymode also
[13:13] <Rory> vijaya: OK, so now read the nomodeset info above and see if that works
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> zykotick9: ok tnx!
[13:13] <matthias_arch> Rory: I don't want audio. I just want to stream my desktop via ffmpeg
[13:13] <manuel__> hello there =)
[13:13] <vijaya> ok thanks, I will try then
[13:13] <manuel__> i'm running Lubuntu 13.04 and using usb soundcard on my system. but alsa mixer won't play sounds over the usb soundcard. sound comes only from onboard ali 5451 chip. but the jack's are brocken :/ could someone help me? =)
[13:14] <Rory> manuel__: You can select the audio output device from the sound menu
[13:14] <Rory> manuel__: I don't know Lubuntu well, so if you can't find the option, install the package "pavucontrol" which is a sound options GUI
[13:15] <zykotick9> Rory: manuel__ "might" not currently have pulse installed?  i'd doubt lubuntu uses it by default... but maybe?
[13:15] <Rory> !lubuntu | manuel__
[13:15] <manuel__> hey Rory. i've read something about pulse audio? the only problem is, that alsa mixer uses my brocken onboard chip as standard output. but i wanna use the usb soundcard :D
[13:16] <Rory> manuel__: I've said all I am going to say at this point
[13:16] <zykotick9> manuel__: is your usb card listed when you run "cat /proc/asound/cards"?
[13:16] <matthias_arch> Rory: ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1400x1050 -r 30 -i :0.0+0,0 -f mpegts udp://<IP_ADDRESS>:1234   my server is <IP_ADDRESS> and on my client i want to open the stream with vlc udp://<IP_ADDRESS>:1234
[13:17] <manuel__> hey ubottu. yes that's right =) that's the reason why i'm running lubuntu. my system has low ram and only the old Pentium 4 @ 2.80GHz
[13:17] <manuel__> yes zykotick9
[13:17] <manuel__> alsa mixer show me both
[13:17] <manuel__> alsa 5451 as first and standard card and my usb_audio as second
[13:18] <SuperLag> I'd like to set up Ubuntu in such a way that I can download the latest daily, and script it to install in a VM and then install a few packages post-install. Is that what Chef/Puppet are for? or do you have to have the pre-made VM already for those?
[13:18] <manuel__> zykotick9 pulse audio isn't installed on my os =(
[13:18] <zykotick9> manuel__: in bios do you have an option to disable the onboard?  if so, i'd try that - hoping it would make the USB default (card 0)
[13:18] <Rory> manuel__: Then ask in #lubuntu because it's specific to that
[13:18] <manuel__> how can i install pulse audio via apt-get in UXTerminal?
[13:19] <Rory> SuperLag: Chef/puppet are for applying config files across a large system estate, nothing to do with what you're describing
[13:19] <zykotick9> manuel__: adding pulse MAY be opening a can of worms for you?
[13:19] <manuel__> no =( unfortunaly not =( the bios is strong locked by oem. i can only change boot mode and so on :/
[13:19] <Rory> SuperLag: If you are keeping Ubuntu up-to-date then you already have the latest daily anyway
[13:20] <manuel__> hey Rory. i tried it at #lubuntu :( but no one is writing :D
[13:20] <manuel__> sorry at @ for my bad bad english :D
[13:20] <Rory> manuel__: Yes that channel is slower than this one. Have you tried searching for how to set the default sound device in Lubuntu?
[13:21] <manuel__> Rory i don't know how to look :(
[13:21] <manuel__> i'm realy new at Lubuntu. With Ubuntu i'm good. but my system run realy slow with ubuntu =(
[13:22] <Rory> It's OK manuel__ I will help you in #lubuntu let's go there
[13:23] <manuel__> i try to install pulse audio with this command " sudo apt-get install pulse_audio " is that the right command?
[13:23] <manuel__> okay =) i'm online in #lubuntu
[13:23] <Rory> No don't do that
[13:23] <manuel__> okay
[13:23] <manuel__> i switch to #lubuntu right now ;)
[13:30] <fnstudio> hello! i need to install vagrant but have just realized that latest version under ubuntu (13.04) is a bit out-of-date: 1.0.3 instead of 1.3.3. Do you think there is a specific reason for this?
[13:31] <ArielX_> bz@BENZINO:~$ '/home/bz/.wine/dosdevices/f:/autorun.sh'
[13:31] <ArielX_> bash: /home/bz/.wine/dosdevices/f:/autorun.sh: Permission denied
[13:31] <Pici> fnstudio: because packages aren't updated after we do a release.
[13:31] <Pici> !latest | fnstudio
[13:32] <fnstudio> Pici: ah that makes sense - thank you very much!
[13:32] <ArielX_> !ppa
[13:32] <fnstudio> !backports
[13:32] <geirha> ArielX_: It means the file is not executable. You have to add that property. chmod +x '/home/bz/.wine/dosdevices/f:/autorun.sh'  or via properties -> permissions in the file manager
[13:34] <vijaya> there
[13:34] <vijaya> anyone
[13:36] <spidla> Hello, is there anyone who tried Ubuntu 13.10 ? I tested 64bit daily build, but I was stucked with some dpkg dependencies. It seems that apt-get/dpkg is unable to locate i386 dependencies on 64bit system. "apt-get install -f" is unable to solve this. It seems like there is somehow disabled 32bit libraries on 64bit system. Any clues ?
[13:36] <cfhowlett> !saucy|spidla,
[13:36] <vijaya> ubuntu
[13:36] <Pici> vijaya: Do you have an Ubuntu question?
[13:37] <spidla> sorry about that, changing channel
[13:37] <vijaya> yes
[13:37] <Pici> !ask | vijaya
[13:37] <vijaya> while I boot my system black screen is appearing??
[13:37] <vijaya> I tried to solve that by adding nomodest
[13:38] <vijaya> but still the problem is there??
[13:38] <vijaya>  how can I solve this
[13:38] <vijaya> can anyone help
[13:39] <vijaya> k :) ubottu
[13:39] <vijaya> anyone faced this issue ever??
[13:39] <ArielX_> sorry could not change the permission of "autorun.sh" :error setting permission: read-only file system
[13:39] <cfhowlett> !patience|vijaya,
[13:39] <ridho> help me
[13:40] <cfhowlett> ridho, clue #1: state the problem
[13:40] <Rory> ArielX_: What are you doing to produce that error? And what are you trying to achieve overall?
[13:41] <ArielX_> want to install my usb modem internet browser though it can connect without been installed just wanted to instal it anyway.
[13:41] <ArielX_> tried to change permission manually could not
[13:42] <ArielX_> so I can make arutorun.sh executable before runing and installing
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> ArielX_  what's the output of    ls -l autorun.sh ?
[13:43] <vijaya> thanq for answer, I will try...
[13:44] <ezra-s> ArielX_, "chmod u+x autorun.sh && ./autorun.sh"
[13:44] <geirha> ArielX_: So it's on a CD-rom? then you can't make it executable. Instead, find out what interpreter is supposed to be used (probably sh), by running ''file ./autorun.sh''
[13:45] <ArielX_> -r-------- 1 bz bz     94 Oct 23  2012 autorun.sh
[13:46] <ezra-s> sh autorun.sh
[13:46] <geirha> ArielX_: If it says  POSIX shell script text executable, then use  ''sh ./autorun.sh''  to run it.
[13:47] <Rexter> How can I tell what graphics adapter I have. Nothing is listed in the system profiler.
[13:48] <ArielX_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179657/
[13:49] <geirha> ArielX_: ugh, and install_linux is not executable either?
[13:49] <ArielX_> yes
[13:50] <ArielX_> can make install_linux or autorun.sh  executable manually I wonder why
[13:51] <geirha> ArielX_: because a cd/dvd is read-only, so you can't make changes. Now why the files aren't executable already is a mystery. Sounds like you might have to copy the contents of the CD to some local directory and run it from there.
[13:51] <ArielX_> ha yeah.. havent tried that b4 though
[14:02] <ArielX_> bz@BENZINO:~$ '/home/bz/Desktop/autorun.sh'
[14:02] <ArielX_> You must run the process by root.
[14:02] <ArielX_> anyway I try still samer thing
[14:03] <Ponch0> the guberment sshut down, ubuntu has been deemed non-essential
[14:05] <ArielX_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179706/
[14:05] <ikonia> Ponch0: what ??
[14:05] <apparatchik> hello everyone, which is the best way to permanently shred all data on a hard drive before you submit it to your dealer for a replacement?
[14:05] <ArielX_> pls see thanks
[14:06] <ikonia> ArielX_: what are you trying to install ?
[14:06] <Ponch0> wut
[14:06] <apparatchik> "wipe"  option on nautilus right-click menu is too slow for that, probably
[14:06] <ArielX_> want to install my usb modem internet browser though it can connect without been installed just wanted to instal it anyway.
[14:06] <Ponch0> ignore me: no sleep: cracked out on red bulls
[14:06] <Ben64> apparatchik: use dd to write all zeros to the drive
[14:06] <ikonia> ArielX_: ok - so there are multiple problems with that process
[14:07] <Rory> apparatchik: Look at a bootable utility called DBAN
[14:07] <apparatchik> ben64: could you please let me know what command do I need to perform that?
[14:07] <Rory> apparatchik: We use it at work for all the things
[14:07] <ikonia> ArielX_: the first one is it can't connect to your X server, the second one is the missing config files
[14:07] <Ben64> apparatchik: already said... "dd"
[14:07] <Rory> apparatchik: http://www.dban.org/
[14:07] <apparatchik> ben64, so is it "dd  /dev/sda" ?
[14:08] <Rory> apparatchik: It would be "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda"
[14:08] <Ben64> apparatchik: no... look at the man page for dd, you need an input and an output
[14:08] <apparatchik> ben64, ok, I'll look at the page
[14:09] <apparatchik> Rory, thank you very much!
[14:09] <apparatchik> ben64, many thanks!
[14:09] <apparatchik> so this shreds anything irrecoverably?
[14:09] <Ben64> yep
[14:09] <apparatchik> thank you!
[14:12] <apparatchik> any idea how long it takes to apply it on a 160GB hard drive half of which is currently free?
[14:13] <Rory> apparatchik: Makes no difference how much is free
[14:13] <Rory> apparatchik: I've always run it overnight and it's been done by morning
[14:13] <Rory> apparatchik: No idea if it takes 30 seconds or 8 hours

[14:14] <Urbanlover234221> hello world!
[14:14] <Rory> Hello, Urbanlover234221
[14:16] <fission6> anyone here good with setting up a swap space
[14:17] <Rory> !anyone
[14:17] <Urbanlover234221> hello world!
[14:17] <Rory> underdog`: So you keep saying
[14:17] <Rory> Urbanlover234221: ^
[14:19] <fission6> my situation, i have a 512MB digital ocean instance and i see memory usage slowly creeps up after a few days of me running a few processes to support my web application - eventually i will move to a bigger instanced - until then I want to add swap because some of my processes are getting SIGKILLS, i am following this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04
[14:19] <fission6> anyone have any initial thoughts
[14:19] <fission6> on what to be mindful of
[14:20] <Rory> fission6: That's a standard procedure, that tutorial looks OK to me
[14:20] <fission6> cool
[14:21] <fission6> can we talk about size of swap
[14:21] <fission6> whats ideal, they only set up a 512MG
[14:21] <fission6> I have 18 gigs of disk
[14:21] <fission6> i was actually thinking of 1 gig swap but maybe thats to much
[14:21] <Pici> fission6: Are you sure that your ram is actually being used? Have you looked at the buffers/cached line properly>?
[14:21] <hramrach> hello
[14:21] <fission6> Pici, how can i check
[14:21] <hramrach> what apt source do I use for Ubuntu packages?
[14:22] <Pici> !ram | fission6
[14:22] <Rory> hramrach: Could you re-phrase your question?
[14:22] <fission6> what am I looking for in this Pici
[14:22] <hramrach> (there is no installer for my device and debootstrap does not fill in any)
[14:22] <Rory> hramrach: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch <--- amazing
[14:23] <fission6> Pici, i have had processes receiving SIGKills
[14:23] <apparatchik> sorry, I havent found much on man page for dd. I just need what command to put on terminal so that it deletes the whole disk irrevocably. could you maybe provide me with this command line?
[14:23] <Pici> fission6: well, that is indeed a problem then.
[14:23] <fission6> dmesg looks like its killing high memory procesdures
[14:23] <fission6> processes
[14:23] <apparatchik> I mean, maybe there is much on the page, but I am not that advanced
[14:23] <Rory> apparatchik: I can guide you through this. Are you currently on a LiveCD?
[14:23] <Pici> fission6: see Rory's sources then ;)
[14:23] <apparatchik> Rory, no I am not.
[14:23] <apparatchik> I am still copying my last files onto external drive
[14:24] <Rory> apparatchik: You can't zero the drive Ubuntu is running on. Once your files have finished backing up, boot from a LiveCD and then poke me
[14:24] <apparatchik> Rory, ok, I'll do!
[14:24] <fission6> Pici what source?
[14:24] <hramrach> Rory: looks like that one will do, thanks
[14:24] <fission6> I have 87 Megs in +/- buffer cache
[14:25] <Rory> fission6: My amazing advice which is: Go ahead and make the swap file using that tutorial, it looks OK to me
[14:25] <Pici> fission6: er, sorry, I guess you linked it yourself.
[14:25] <fission6> cool
[14:25] <fission6> thanks
[14:25] <fission6> it looks like i don't need to reboot for the swap right?
[14:25] <Rory> fission6: Nope =)
[14:25] <fission6> cool, let me play
[14:25] <fission6> and do you think 512 is the right amount
[14:25] <kenn_> hi people :)
[14:25] <Rory> Hello, kenn_
[14:27] <helmut_> hi
[14:27] <fchmmr> hi, my system has 3D acceleration but i want to disable it and use LLVMPIPE instead. I have searched but nothing tells me how to force it to be enabled
[14:27] <fchmmr> can someone help me with this ?
[14:28] <fission6> cool thanks Rory and Pici set it up
[14:34] <Unico> what size i should give to / in new installation???

[14:57] <apparatchik> I'm back
[14:59] <apparatchik> I have a question: I saved folders of thunderbird, and clawsmail as backup. in new installation can I just reaccess my existing mailbox by replacing these folders with the new program folders?
[14:59] <jrr> in case someone encounters my question in the IRC log, this seems to work: ppa:ondrej/apache2
[14:59] <Rory> apparatchik: Yes
[14:59] <{-r-}> hi everyone
[14:59] <Rory> Hello {-r-}
[15:00] <apparatchik> Rory, does the same hold for nevernote?
[15:00] <Rory> apparatchik: Probably
[15:00] <StarFlower> apparatchik, that sounds like it should work
[15:01] <apparatchik> I saved hidden program folders of nevernote and rednotebook that are found under home directory. I hope these to show existing contents just by replacement
[15:02] <apparatchik> the best way seems to be to make a test run on live cd before totally deleting them
[15:03] <apparatchik> StarFlower, Rory, thank you, I will see how it works when I am on live cd
[15:03] <apparatchik> Rory, can I already apply dd to partitions other than the one the system runs on?

[15:08] <linuxearth> is there any way i can type mathematical symbols and equations in linux...?
[15:08] <Rory> apparatchik: yes
[15:08] <linuxearth> please tell me
[15:08] <apparatchik> Rory, can we then go about it together? :)
[15:09] <BrixSat> how do i increase a disk size?
[15:09] <Rory> apparatchik: Sure. If you run the command: "sudo fdisk -l" you will see your partitions and drives
[15:09] <linuxearth> is there any way i can type mathematical symbols and equations in linux...?
[15:09] <bwayne> linuxearth: libreoffice and tex/latex come to mind. libreoffice is probably easier.
[15:09] <Rory> BrixSat: Are you trying to resizea  partition?
[15:09] <linuxearth> libreoffice?
[15:09] <linuxearth> but how to use equations in that?
[15:09] <BrixSat> Rory:  yes
[15:09] <apparatchik> great, thank you Rory, just applying
[15:10] <BrixSat> Rory:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179921/
[15:10] <linuxearth> but how to use equations in libre office is there any way?

[15:10] <Rory> !GPARTED | BrixSat
[15:10] <BrixSat> Rory:  im on a server.... so gparted wont work
[15:10] <linuxearth> oh bwayne i see
[15:10] <apparatchik> Rory, the partitions are listed, and I figured which are the ones to shred now
[15:11] <Rory> BrixSat: What partition are you wanting to resize there, BrixSat - there's no free space to expand it into!
[15:11] <Rory> apparatchik: OK so is it called something like /dev/sda2
[15:11] <apparatchik> yes
[15:11] <apparatchik> Rory, yes
[15:11] <BrixSat> rory the vda2 is free i supose
[15:11] <bwayne> linuxearth: some other math resources in ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuMath
[15:11] <Rory> BrixSat: ask in #ubuntu-server
[15:11] <BrixSat> ok
[15:12] <Rory> apparatchik: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXN bs=4k conv=notrunc
[15:13] <linuxearth> bwayne: but the word 'selection' is missing in my menu of 'View' in the section of libreoffice, still i search
[15:14] <apparatchik> Rory, here is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6179933/
[15:14] <Rory> apparatchik: There is unfortunately no progress indicator, and like I said I don't know how long it'll take because I always do it overnight
[15:14] <bwayne> linuxearth: i don't have a copy of libreoffice in front of me to check exactly how.
[15:14] <Rory> hehe apparatchik not /dev/sdXN
[15:14] <Rory> apparatchik: Replace /dev/sdXN with the actual drive you want to zero
[15:14] <apparatchik> Rory, ohh :)
[15:14] <Rory> apparatchik: and be careful because if you make a typo you're gonna have a bad time
[15:15] <apparatchik> Rory, I had to add sudo at the beginning of the command. without it the permission was denied
[15:15] <Rory> apparatchik: Oh yes, sorry
[15:15] <linuxearth> libreoffice seems too typical to use
[15:15] <linuxearth> in this regard
[15:15] <linuxearth> bwayne: thanks for this
[15:15] <Rory> apparatchik: Does it seem to be working now? As in, it's sitting there seemingly doing nothing?
[15:16] <CountryfiedLinux> I've encountered an issue that's keeping me from using Unity
[15:16] <Rory> Oh yeah apparatchik you might want to do "sudo rm /dev/sdXN" because you made a really big file there full of zeroes :P
[15:16] <Rory> !details | CountryfiedLinux
[15:16] <CountryfiedLinux> When I set the launcher panel to autohide, I have to literally slam the pointer into the edge of the screen edge to get it to pop out from being hidden. So its that or have it always sticking out like a sore thumb.
[15:16] <CountryfiedLinux> Rory, ^
[15:17] <Rory> CountryfiedLinux: How would you prefer it to be?
[15:18] <CountryfiedLinux> Rory, Like Docky or Plank Dock. Once that pointer touches the edge of the screen it pops right up.
[15:18] <CountryfiedLinux> Rory, In Unity I had to press the pointer against the edge. Not as responsive/sensitive as a dock.
[15:18] <Rory> CountryfiedLinux: I think they reduced the sensitivity a release or two ago because it used to always appear at really annoying moments whenever your mouse was over there
[15:19] <CountryfiedLinux> Rory, Even at highest sensitivity I still have that issue. Very annoying. Other than that I'd gladly be using Unity.
[15:19] <CountryfiedLinux> But for now its Gnome Shell.
[15:20] <TiZ> Hi. I'm having some trouble logging into my computer. The session keeps crashing. It seems like it's not even getting to the point where anything is being logged to .xsession-errors; it always contains info from my last working session. But I can't find anything useful in /var/log/lightdm either. How can I find out what's wrong with my session?
[15:21] <CountryfiedLinux> Rory, Any idea if there's any workarounds for my issue here?

[15:25] <CountryfiedLinux> Rory, Searching my issue in Google I see a lot of others are upset about this. It would be better if a user just decreased unhide sensitivity if they're having issues and left us that want it to just work on approach to have it be able to do so.
[15:26] <CountryfiedLinux> Oh well, perhaps in Unity 9
[15:26] <TiZ> I can't even access the grub menu right now; I hold shift and it just straight up gets ignored!
[15:26] <Rory> acidChrist: . . ?
[15:26] <acidChrist> Rory: source dest
[15:26] <acidChrist> where I'm in the source dir
[15:26] <Rory> acidChrist: OK as long as you aren't actually putting dots
[15:27] <Rory> acidChrist: When you run your command do you see the files in vendor being copied?
[15:27] <acidChrist> nop
[15:27] <Rory> Then they aren't being copied
[15:27] <Rory> the -v flag to rsync will show you every file that's copied
[15:28] <bubibubi> is it possible to use lubuntu from usb with possibility to add programs, save files etc  ?
[15:28] <acidChrist> Rory: so let's say I have the mounted point in /home/point and the directory to exclude is /home/point/dex
[15:28] <acidChrist> what the command should looks like
[15:28] <apparatchik> Hi Rory, apparatchik here
[15:29] <acidChrist> How'
[15:29] <Rory> acidChrist: Forget the fact it's virtual, forget the fact it's mounted
[15:29] <MonkeyDust> bubibubi  i guess you want !persistent usb installation
[15:29] <apparatchik> the other machine is still running, and freezing often..hence writing from here
[15:29] <Rory> acidChrist: "rsync -avz -exclude 'foo' source dest" will copy everything in source to dest, apart from the 'foo' directory. It will show you what's being copied also.
[15:29] <TiZ> Hi. I'm having some trouble logging into my computer. The session keeps crashing. It seems like it's not even getting to the point where anything is being logged to .xsession-errors; it always contains info from my last working session. But I can't find anything useful in /var/log/lightdm either. How can I find out what's wrong with my session? This is on my work computer; I am presently at a state where I can't do my job. It's critical that I get this back u
[15:29] <TiZ> p and running.
[15:29] <Rory> !patience | TiZ
[15:30] <dumfuq> hi
[15:30] <TiZ> Rory: Don't give me that. This is my *work* computer. I installed Ubuntu on a production machine and I *trusted* that it would not break.
[15:30] <bubibubi> ok thanx
[15:30] <Rory> TiZ: I don't like your attitude. Ignored.
[15:31] <dumfuq> TiZ, Ubuntu devs don't entitle you to anything, they're mostly volunteers
[15:31] <hramrach> TiZ: you should only trust what you have tested :p
[15:31] <acidChrist> Rory: based on the example if I wan't to exclude the dex dir from /home/point the command should looks rsync --exclude dex /home/point /home/point ?
[15:31] <gordonjcp> !attitude | TiZ
[15:32] <Rory> acidChrist: You're copying a directory to itsself there
[15:32] <TiZ> I'm not even asking anything hard. All I am asking for is to know which logfiles I need to check in order to solve the problem myself.
[15:32] <gordonjcp> TiZ: well, can you think of anything that might have caused this?
[15:32] <acidChrist> Rory: so rsync --exclude dex /home/point/dex /home/point/dex ?
[15:32] <Rory> acidChrist: What are you doing? Why are you using rsync?
[15:33] <gordonjcp> TiZ: and, which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[15:33] <apparatchik> TiZ: this is not a windows call center line.
[15:33] <Rory> acidChrist: What you have jsut said is "copy all the files from /home/point/dex into /home/point/dex, apart from dex"
[15:34] <dumfuq> I'm sure people with windows issues love calling Microsoft, waiting on hold for an hour, then being charged $35
[15:35] <TiZ> gordonjcp: There was a kernel update in the last update. I uninstalled that kernel, rolling back to the old one, and there was no change. Aside from that, there were indicator libs, samba, and this one library called libwbclient, and I'm not sure what that is. Also, it's Xubuntu.
[15:35] <Xerofyte> I just Installed KDE SC 4.11 on my Ubunu 12.04 LTS. And when I rebooted my machine. There was no KDE on my Login Screen?
[15:35] <TiZ> Xerofyte: You have to select the KDE session from your login screen. There is a button that will allow you to choose your session.
[15:36] <TiZ> Oh wait. Are you saying that KDE's not even in the session menu?
[15:36] <Xerofyte> TiZ: Yes Brother That is what i am Saying
[15:36] <dumfuq> TiZ, Did something go wrong with the kernel you had before?
[15:36] <apparatchik> Rory, it showed this now:   paste.ubuntu.com/6180040
[15:37] <dumfuq> TiZ, There's usually no good reason to upgrade the kernel other than graphics issues.
[15:37] <apparatchik> Rory, does it mean anything is shredded now? should I say no?
[15:37] <TiZ> dumfuq: I'm not talking about a kernel upgrade so much as a kernel update. The kind you get from regular old sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade.
[15:38] <Rory> apparatchik: dd: writing `/dev/sda3': Input/output error
[15:38] <dumfuq> TiZ, Well try upgrading or downgrading the kernel maybe?
[15:38] <Rory> apparatchik: That actually means it's done
[15:38] <Rory> apparatchik: It reached the end of the drive that's why. Assuming that partition is exactly 60GiB, it's worked, as shown by:<PHONE_NUMBER>2 bytes (60 GB) copied
[15:39] <dumfuq> TiZ, you using the LTS?
[15:39] <apparatchik> Rory; great, then I go about the same way with the next partition..yes, it was 60GB
[15:39] <Rory> apparatchik: Also you're being asked a question because you hit Tab twice. It's nothing to do with dd
[15:39] <apparatchik> Rory, so I say no :)
[15:39] <apparatchik> done
[15:40] <TiZ> dumfuq: No, I'm on 13.04.  Upgrade to 13.10. Its very stable on my laptop here.
[15:41] <TiZ> dumfuq: Whoa, that is crazy. I suppose it's not *that* crazy since release is basically right around the corner, though. Are we in feature freeze now?
[15:42] <gst`-> Hi, I'm using 13.04 on a Lenovo X230 and starting from last week somehow my audio fails randomly after some time of playback (a parallel Installation of Win 7 does not show the same issue).
[15:42] <dumfuq> TiZ, I dunno, but there really isn't much else gonna be put into it at this stage, so its very save to at least try it out IMO.
[15:42] <Xerofyte> I just Installed KDE SC 4.11 on my Ubunu 12.04 LTS. And when I rebooted my machine. There was no KDE Plasma Workspace in the Sessions on my Login Screen?
[15:43] <gst`-> (I already tried using the mainline kernels which does not help the problem)
[15:43] <TiZ> dumfuq: Yeah, that's not a bad idea.
[15:44] <TiZ> With guidance from someone from #xubuntu, I used the guest session to test, and then deleted ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority to get back in. I apologize for copping the hardcore attitude, but I really needed ideas bouncing off of me. Thanks for the assistance.
[15:46] <_ohm> How do I view current IPTables rules? iptables -L doesn't give me any rules that I have added
[15:46] <Rory> _ohm: It is iptables -L to list rules, how did you add them?
[15:47] <_ohm> Rory, sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 3000
[15:47] <_ohm> that was the command I used, however when I do iptables -L I get nothing
[15:47] <Rory> _ohm: try this: iptables-save > /tmp/iptables
[15:47] <Rory> _ohm: Then edit the /tmp/iptables file
[15:47] <Rory> _ohm: then do sudo iptables-restore < /tmp/iptables
[15:48] <Rory> _ohm: That's how I always do it
[15:48] <irssi-mike> gst`-: it cuts out during a run of the OS?
[15:48] <gst`-> yes
[15:48] <_ohm> Rory, and just add my rules to the file?
[15:48] <gst`-> quite randomly
[15:48] <Rory> _ohm: Yeah, look at how the other rules are formatted
[15:48] <Rory> _ohm: I'm sure you can work out how to put your rules
[15:49] <Rory> !ufw | _ohm also this might be of interest
[15:49] <gst`-> i tried killing pulse audio and doing a force reload of alsa
[15:49] <gst`-> doesnt help
[15:50] <gst`-> it's gone until i restart the machine
[15:50] <Marlenee> `openmpi` not found in ubnutu
[15:50] <irssi-mike> gst`-: did u have 12.04 installed previously as a sort of comparison to the issue?
[15:50] <_ohm> Rory, got it, thanks a lot
[15:50] <gst`-> yep it worked fine (but that was ages ago). and it worked fine with 13.04 up until probably a week ago
[15:51] <irssi-mike> gst`-: did you loose power suddenly
[15:52] <gst`-> no, the laptop is on the ac
[15:53] <irssi-mike> gst`-: when it cuts again see if gnome-alsamixer shows muted
[15:53] <gst`-> is the console tool fine too?
[15:54] <irssi-mike> gst`-: maybe but try them both
[15:54] <gst`-> since alsamixer shows nothing muted
[15:54] <apparatchik> Rory, the 40GB partition takes not shorter than 60gb, yet the process is not dependent on how much of the space is free, right?
[15:55] <Rory> apparatchik: Correct
[15:55] <gst`-> actually it seems i cant run gnome-alsamixer once it happened
[15:55] <gst`-> alsamixer works fine
[15:55] <Rory> apparatchik: The output from dd will tell you the actual speed in bytes per second
[15:57] <acidChrist> Rory: I have done it and it moved from source to dest the right directories. But how to tell sync process to synchronise only the files without the excluded. I mean the process which sync them automatically
[15:57] <acidChrist> ?
[15:57] <Rory> acidChrist: What is performing the synchronisation?
[15:57] <acidChrist> ?
[15:59] <Baze> Hi! I installed LAMP, after that I installed phpMyAdmin and it doesn't work,it's not connected to apache. How can I fix it
[15:59] <Rory> acidChrist: you ask "how to tell sync process" what is sync process?
[15:59] <Rory> Baze: How did you install LAMP? How did you install PHPmyadmin? What ubuntu version are you using? Did you follow a guide? Are you getting an error?
[16:00] <vicente_> anyone else using lxle ?
[16:00] <Xerofyte>  I just Installed KDE SC 4.11 on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. And when I rebooted my machine. There was no KDE Plasma Workspace in the Sessions on my Login Screen
[16:02] <Baze> I installed LAMP with tasksel and PHPmyadmin trough terminal. I have Xubuntu 13.04, and I only followed guide for tasksel installation.
[16:02] <Rory> Baze: Through terminal? How?
[16:02] <Rory> Baze: What did you run to install phpmyadmin?
[16:02] <apparatchik> Rory, 40gb space took longer than 60gb, still running..is that plausible?
[16:02] <Baze> I got 404 error for http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[16:02] <Rory> apparatchik: yes it's plausible
[16:03] <Baze> just #sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[16:03] <Rory> Baze: did you put "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" into your apache config?
[16:03] <Pici> Baze: please make sure that you have a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf in /etc/apache2/conf.d/
[16:03] <Baze> i haven't done thate
[16:03] <Rory> Baze: Pici's way is better
[16:04] <gst`-> Oct  1 17:54:18 unicorn kernel: [ 4335.120110] gnome-alsamixer[10360]: segfault at 16 ip 00007fa6828277b5 sp 00007fff44730178 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.0[7fa6827ec000+f9000]  <-- syslog event when launching gnome-alsamixer
[16:04] <hramrach> how do I generate locales on Ubuntu?
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> !locales
[16:04] <Baze> Pici's way?
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> +
[16:06] <Rory> Baze: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
[16:07] <apparatchik> Rory, all right :), thank you!
[16:07] <apparatchik> Rory, does "no space left" mean anything significant:  paste.ubuntu.com/6180146
[16:07] <apparatchik> ?
[16:07] <apparatchik> this came when it was just completed
[16:07] <oo_miguel> How can I check if a hard disk is fault and needs to get exchanged?
[16:07] <gst`-> i'll give reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio a try brb
[16:08] <Rory> !smart | oo_miguel
[16:08] <apparatchik> Rory, I mean, anything that should prevent me from continuing with other partitions?
[16:08] <apparatchik> or anything that hindered the process?
[16:08] <Baze> Ok, that worked
[16:08] <Rory> apparatchik: it will only write to the partition you specify, the others will be fine
[16:09] <irssi-mike> is there any benefit to running multiple swap files on one disk?
[16:09] <Baze> What is the difference of including PHPmyadmin into apache2.conf?
[16:10] <Rory> Baze: Functionally, none
[16:10] <Rory> irssi-mike: no
[16:12] <Baze> What I actually done?? What "ln" and "-s" do?
[16:13] <irssi-mike> symbolic link
[16:13] <Baze> Ok, I googled it. Thans for the help :)
[16:14] <lenzeor> Hey guys! Is it safe to upgrade to 13.10 yet?
[16:15] <Rory> !13.10 | lenzeor Not til it's released
[16:16] <lenzeor> Am I going to brick my system if it fails or can I revert back, Rory?
[16:16] <vicente_> its difficult to say
[16:17] <Rory> lenzeor: Don't upgrade if you care about your system
[16:17] <Rory> lenzeor: Expect it to break, and then you can't be disappointed
[16:17] <vicente_> if you were able to boot into the recovery option I would say that bricking your pc isnt likely. Just be careful when you partition your HDD
[16:17] <wylde> lenzeor: and have current backups ;)
[16:17] <lenzeor> ah damn
[16:18] <lenzeor> okok, thanks Rory and Wylde
[16:18] <lenzeor> I'll have to wait then
[16:21] <gordonjcp> TiZ: glad you got it sorted, I had to head home or else stay at work all night ;-)
[16:21] <hramrach> hmm, you need a language-pack to get locales
[16:22] <gordonjcp> TiZ: deleting .Xauthority sounds like you may be attempting to use something graphical as root
[16:22] <hramrach> and it generates all the useless variants /o\
[16:22] <oo_miguel> the short offline smarttest told me: read failiure , what now?
[16:22] <hramrach> oh well, the Ubuntu way
[16:22] <hramrach> oo_miguel: trash the disk
[16:23] <oo_miguel> :(
[16:24] <belljar> Rory, I restarted with live cd, this was the command to start with, right: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda3 bs=4k conv=notrunc ?
[16:24] <oo_miguel> what does Remaining: 90% mean?
[16:24] <oo_miguel> in the smart selftest log
[16:24] <hramrach> oo_miguel: that it failed at teh very start
[16:25] <oo_miguel> ah ok
[16:25] <oo_miguel> and this is an definitive hardware error disqulifying the disk from any use right?
[16:25] <Rory> belljar: Are you apparatchik?
[16:25] <hramrach> very likely
[16:26] <Rory> belljar: Yes, if /dev/sda3 is actually the one you want
[16:26] <belljar> Rory, yes, I am, sorry. I just changed it, didn't notice that it was revoked
[16:26] <hramrach> oo_miguel: if it's new you could like rma it but that's about it
[16:26] <Rory> I have to leave now apparatchik it's home-time
[16:26] <hramrach> if the disk can't even read itself there is not much left to do
[16:27] <apparatchik> Rory, thank you so much! I think I can get to destination from here :))
[16:27] <gst`-> irssi-mike, okay still the same :/
[16:27] <oo_miguel> hramrach: thanx
[16:27] <newbee> hello folks. I need some help. I did install ubuntu on top of Windows 8 (on a samsung series 5 ultrabook). But now there is no option to boot Windows 8 from grub!
[16:27] <apparatchik> Rory, enjoy the rest of your day!
[16:27] <newbee> please help me!
[16:27] <Rory> !grub | newbee
[16:28] <newbee> ubottu: no, my problem is, that I do have grub but it does not allow me to boot windows 8 anyomore. So the other way round :-(
[16:29] <gst`-> newbee there is a tool called "Boot repair" that might work
[16:29] <gst`-> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[16:33] <newbee> gst`-:  do I risk to not to be able to boot ubuntu anymore?
[16:33] <gst`-> you can always restore grub with a live cd
[16:34] <newbee> gst`-:  ok, thx
[16:34] <gst`-> (to my knowledge)
[16:34] <gst`-> btw
[16:34] <Ari-Yang> !dist-upgrade
[16:35] <gst`-> is your windows 8 a uefi installation?
[16:36] <lesshaste> how can I make a bootable usb from an iso?
[16:36] <lesshaste> usb-creator-gtk crashes for me
[16:36] <tilerendering> hi - I have a ubuntu installation (12.04 server LTS) and I dont have any graphical window manager running. can I nevertheless run a vmware player on it, with windows 7 in the vm ?
[16:36] <lesshaste> so is there anything else?
[16:36] <apparatchik> Rory, are you still there?
[16:37] <wylde> lesshaste: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ has a number of tools
[16:38] <downbeam_> Any one here ever play champions of regnum????
[16:39] <downbeam_> Any one here ever play champions of regnum????
[16:39] <apparatchik> I just read that zeroing drive by using dd to erase files doesnt make them permanently irrecoverable, if special techniques are used. how special are these?
[16:39] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: so special they only exist in the minds of scifi authors
[16:39] <lesshaste> wylde, do you know if any of them can be installed with apt-get?
[16:39] <apparatchik> gordonjcp: wikipedia says that it is possible
[16:39] <downbeam_> Any one here ever play champions of regnum????
[16:39] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: wikipedia says a lot of things
[16:40] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: this is more a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:40] <Ari-Yang> is it possible to filter out a package when using apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[16:40] <newbee> trying it. Wish me luck!
[16:40] <apparatchik> gordonjcp: I just used dd with the assistance of Rory, that's why I wondered when I was reading about dd, and saw this
[16:40] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: yeah
[16:41] <wylde> apparatchik: if you're not satisfied with zero'ing, you could always sandwich the drive between 2 strong magnets overnight ;) heh
[16:41] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: in theory with drives that are more than about 30 years old you could *possibly* look at funny ripples in the analogue data read back from the disk
[16:41] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: even then it wasn't really possible
[16:41] <apparatchik> gordonjcp: so it is not even sth for nsa?
[16:41] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: nope
[16:41] <apparatchik> gordonjcp: all right
[16:41] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: the idea is that if a bit is slightly higher than the average read level, it might have been a 1 before
[16:42] <gordonjcp> apparatchik: now they record signals on disk with multiple levels
[16:42] <apparatchik> gordonjcp: I don't know how new/old my disc is, though. it is not a ssd anyway.
[16:42] <apparatchik> disk*
[16:43] <apparatchik> gordonjcp: so there's no need to do another "shred" over it?
[16:44] <schnitzl> if i start a process with rc.local owner is root, right? so i dotn need in the rc.local "sudo <COMMAND>"
[16:45] <apparatchik> gordonjcp, thank you so much for your hints, have to leave now!
[16:45] <wylde> schnitzl: yes
[16:45] <schnitzl> wylde, thanks :)
[16:46] <oo_miguel> is there some tool to benchmark cd-drives, to decide which is in a better condition?
[16:47] <killall> maybe  hdparm
[16:47] <ibekks> oo_miguel: that will not tell you anything about the condition the drive is in
[16:48] <oo_miguel> ibekks: any suggestions?
[16:49] <ibekks> oo_miguel: i dont think there is software to do so
[16:49]  * killall maybe hdparm, to test speed of the disk
[16:49] <oo_miguel> ok thanks guys
[16:50] <StarFlower> you could try using disk utility
[16:50] <StarFlower> but im not sure if it works with cd drives
[16:53] <cuidas> Hi everybody! I need some help @ubuntu+uefi: i think i installed everything the right way, efimgr -v show the right stuff, but i cant boot into grub. how can i test if  my uefi "sees" the EFI partition?
[16:54] <lupo> ciao
[16:55] <lupo> !list
[16:56] <StarFlower> cuidas, im not sure but you could try reading though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[16:57] <lenzeor> How do I upgrade from gnome 3.8 to 3.10?
[16:59] <cuidas> StarFlower: thx found this page already but didnt help me... :(
[16:59] <listric> Hi Is there a way to remove hard drive encryption? Running Ubuntu 12.10?
[17:00] <StarFlower> did you read through the section titled "Identifying if an Ubuntu has been installed in EFI mode"
[17:00] <StarFlower> listric, http://askubuntu.com/questions/245112/can-i-disable-full-disk-encryption
[17:01] <xangua> good morning here, can you tell me how can i remove a printer I no longer have but is still listed in system configuration¿ since i no longer have the printer when i select the remove option it shows a cups error: client-error-not-found
[17:01] <xangua> http://i.imgur.com/VBq33dC.png
[17:01] <cuidas> StarFlower: yes, and i think everything is ok. i'm starting to think its not an ubuntu problem.
[17:02] <schnitzl> how can I mv a file to the folder in which i am at the moment "mv /home/user/test.file XXX"
[17:02] <schnitzl> i cont want to type the path in which I am right now
[17:02] <xangua> the printer was installed with hplip by the way
[17:02] <StarFlower> xangua, you can run sudo lpadmin -x "nameofprinter"
[17:02] <up201303544> oi
[17:02] <up201303544> hi
[17:03] <up201303544> entao mon fiss
[17:03] <xangua> !pt | up201303544
[17:04] <StarFlower> you would have to run pwd to see which directory your in at the moment then run mv file /"directory_your_in"
[17:04] <xangua> StarFlower: thanks! very apreciated
[17:04] <StarFlower> be sure to include the name of the file after the directory your moving to
[17:05] <listric> StarFlower: Looks like easiest solution will be a reload. That's fine, this a fresh new install. Will not select "Encryption"  on new reinstall. Also will I have any issues with Gparted to wipe the harddrive? Thanks much.
[17:06] <StarFlower> you shouldnt if you format the drive
[17:06] <listric> cool thx
[17:09] <cuidas> just to share it her: nice thread that seems to solve my problems http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
[17:10] <StarFlower> Thats wonderful, thanks for sharing cuidas
[17:14] <schnitzl> in a bash script mv /file/*.txt /home/user/ does not work if files have "spaces" ....how to make it work for ALL files, even those files with " "
[17:14] <Pici> schnitzl: Best to ask in #bash and take a look at their great urls in their channel's topic.

[17:39] <linuxearth> i have just downloaded the ubuntu lts 12.04 and planing to install in the harddisk (whole space) for which i have no idea of partitions, how much should i make /home, /swap ,/boot and /root or / please elaborate. my ram is 2 GB and harddisk space is 238 GB (or 250, they say).
[17:41] <cjwelborn> something odd happened to me, its kindof a long story but i'll try to keep it short. I'd like to know why it happened.
[17:41] <linuxearth> i have just downloaded the ubuntu lts 12.04 and planing to install in the harddisk (whole space) for which i have no idea of partitions, how much should i make /home, /swap ,/boot and /root or / please elaborate. my ram is 2 GB and harddisk space is 238 GB (or 250, they say).
[17:41] <Suarte4> Hello, I have Lubuntu 13.04 here. For some reason I have no idea (have done nothing other than updates),   I cannot login anymore into my main user account. I can still log into the others including guest and everything works fine. So here  is what I tried. Ctrl+Alt+F1 logged in main account via terminal.  OK it works.  Then startlubuntu but I get the following error message. cp: impossible to create the standard file <<//.
[17:42] <cuidas> vamadir: apt-cache show wordpress -> Version: 3.5.1+dfsg-2 -> update && upgrade should work
[17:43] <cjwelborn> Latest installer removed all partitions from my drive, I re-partitioned and formatted. Install went okay, I copied some /home files from my backup USB but I was missing some .hidden files. I was going to manually re-create the two missing files (and fill in the missing info). I 'touch'ed a missing file, opened it in Kate and ALL of the info from my previous install was already there. This file DID NOT exist on the hard drive, i
[17:43] <cjwelborn> created it with 'touch'.  How could this happen?
[17:43] <xmetal> wow . my download speed is dropping like a rock
[17:44] <gordonjcp> cjwelborn: you must have copied it across
[17:44] <gordonjcp> cjwelborn: alternatively, you have not opened what you thought you opened
[17:44] <gordonjcp> cjwelborn: what was the missing file anyway?
[17:44] <cjwelborn> ls /myproject -> No .project or .pydevproject. touch .project , kate .project -> All missing info there.
[17:45] <linuxearth> can one let me know please?>
[17:45] <gordonjcp> !anyone | linuxearth
[17:45] <cjwelborn> i should say ls -a, and none of the files were there. but 'touch .project' filled in all the missing info.
[17:45] <newhite> what is the best way to setup a remote desktop application for ubuntu
[17:45] <linuxearth> okay
[17:45] <Suarte4> I also tried creating that lxterminal.conf file with touch. I still get cannot open display error
[17:46] <linuxearth> i have just downloaded the ubuntu lts 12.04 and planing to install in the harddisk (whole space) for which i have no idea of partitions, how much should i make /home, /swap ,/boot and /root or / please elaborate. my ram is 2 GB and harddisk space is 238 GB (or 250, they say).
[17:46] <gordonjcp> !partition | linuxearth
[17:46] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: are you wiping everything on the disk, and doing a clean install?
[17:46] <newhite> what remote desktop software would you recommend?
[17:47] <gordonjcp> newhite: what exactly are you trying to do?
[17:47] <rootpt> Hello.
[17:47] <linuxearth> yes i am wiping everything
[17:47] <newhite> allow someone to control my desktop
[17:47] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: just let it do the defaults
[17:47] <newhite> and view my desktop
[17:47] <linuxearth> gordonjcp: yes
[17:47] <StarFlower> linuxearth, its probably ok to let ubuntu decide on its own
[17:47] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: yeah
[17:47] <linuxearth> ok
[17:47] <gordonjcp> just let it do its own thing
[17:47] <linuxearth> it would take by itself?
[17:47] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: you probably want to use LVM if you get the choice
[17:48] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: it'll make a fairly intelligent guess
[17:48] <linuxearth> what's LVM?
[17:48] <gordonjcp> Logical Volume Manager
[17:48] <linuxearth> gordonjcp: i am new so installation i don't now and the terms too
[17:48] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: oh, just let it do everything automatically
[17:48] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: you can always reinstall tomorrow ;-)
[17:48] <linuxearth> ok lvm also auto?
[17:49] <linuxearth> but i don't have always the time for re installation
[17:49] <newhite> gordonjcp: I want to share my desktop with someone from IT.  so they can trouble shoot remotely
[17:49] <Suarte4> no ideas to solve my issue?
[17:49] <linuxearth> so lvm is useful?
[17:49] <gordonjcp> newhite: no idea, VNC possibly
[17:49] <xmetal> hmm
[17:49] <LucidGuy> modified /etc/exports (NFS) .. want changes to take affect without dropping existing connected nfs clients.  exportfs -r doesnt seem to do the trick, anyone know the outcome of exportfs -f ?
[17:50] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: yes, it makes it relatively easy to enlarge partitions and add news disks in and stuff
[17:50] <newhite> gordonjcp,
[17:50] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: don't worry about it for now
[17:50] <xmetal> the packing manager will not let me install Octave in Mint 14
[17:50] <newhite> gordonjcp, I was looking forward to something straight forward.
[17:50] <newhite> gordonjcp, just install and go
[17:50] <linuxearth> gordonjcp: ok so what i do? should i install lvm or not?
[17:50] <dachi> hello, can anyone help me with permissions please? ls -l /var/mail/vhosts/dachi.im is drwx--S--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 28 22:49 administrator drwx--S--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 30 21:35 webmaster and drwx--S--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 Oct  1 21:42 webmaster without administrator.

[17:51] <linuxearth> gordonjcp: or i go with default installation as u earlier suggested
[17:51] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: shouldn't make a difference at this stage, leave it for now though if you're unsure

[17:52] <Suarte4> gordonjcp: you seem knowledgeable... dont want to give it a shot? i'll wait if you want....
[17:54] <linuxearth> gordonjcp: but  u can let me know dude or explain if it really helpful i would go for it dude!
[17:54] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: at this stage it probably doesn't make a difference
[17:54] <linuxearth> ok
[17:54] <gordonjcp> Suarte4: hm?
[17:54] <linuxearth> then i should go for default?
[17:54] <gordonjcp> linuxearth: leave it off for now and go for default
[17:54] <linuxearth> ok thanks man thanks gordonjcp:

[17:57] <MonkeyDust> Suarte4  make sure no partition is 100% full, type      df-h     to find out, also make sure you have no obsolete kernels
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> Suarte4  df -h, even
[17:59] <mmazing> so i have a "server" on amazon that i accidentally just uninstalled openSSH on, i have the boot volume mounted to another instance, how would i go about installing openssh on that volume so that when i boot it up i can connect?

[18:28] <StarFlower> unfortunately this channel doesnt support 13.10 beta
[18:28] <StarFlower> but someone may still know

[18:37] <bekks> schnitzl: I know it doesnt.
[18:37] <schnitzl> :D
[18:37] <schnitzl> i believe you. it would be weird.
[18:37] <bekks> Just start the process again, no need to reboot.

[18:50] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> i got some ecryptfs questions
[18:51] <cheater__> hi guys. i have downloaded a kernel for ubuntu and now i need the source for it. could someone help me figure this out? the kernel is here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.2-saucy/ and there are some patches in there but there is no source. how do i get the source? i am trying to compile some kernel modules.
[18:53] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> how can i move the ecryptfs('s) ~/.Private folder to a usb device to work from there. I was thinking of a symbolic link , ln -s , or should it be ln -P , if ln would work should i use -s or -P
[18:54] <baordog_> Is there a seperate channel for ubuntu dev?
[18:54] <PatrickDickey> cheater__: try sudo apt-get install linux-source
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> baordog_  #ubuntu-app-devel
[18:54] <baordog_> I meant kernal dev :D
[18:54] <cheater__> PatrickDickey: i would love to but this kernel is from saucy and i'm on raring. this kernel is not in the repositories, i had to download it by hand.
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> baordog_  #ubuntu-kernel
[18:55] <baordog_> Gracias
[18:55] <PatrickDickey> baordog_: If ubuntu-kernel isn't what you want, then I'd suggest going to kernel.org and seeing what IRC channels they use.
[18:55] <cheater__> i didn't know of #ubuntu-kernel
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> cheater__  type /msg alis list #ubuntu*
[18:56] <cheater__> i think #ubuntu-kernel is the only one i'll need!
[18:57] <PatrickDickey> cheater__: /www.google.com/search?q=source+code+for+ubuntu+kernel+saucy might get you what you need also. Most of the links point to launchpad, so that's probably where you'll be able to download the source.
[18:58] <cheater__> PatrickDickey: i don't see anything there.
[18:58] <PatrickDickey> cheater__: In launchpad? or in the link I put up?
[18:59] <cheater__> in either, i do not see an associated source package.
[19:02] <PatrickDickey> Speaking of kernels. I did apt-get autoremove this past weekend, and it's stuck on updating grub. Any suggestions on how to get through this?
[19:02] <PatrickDickey> cheater__: Which kernel did you download? You said 3.11.2, but everything in launchpad is for 3.11.0-x.
[19:02] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> how can i move the  ~/.Private folder that ecryptfs uses to a usb device to work from there. I was thinking of a symbolic link , ln -s , or should it be ln -P , if ln would work should i use -s or -P
[19:03] <cheater__> PatrickDickey: look at the link i posted - that's 3.11.2 right there
[19:06] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> can someone give a life example of the difference from ln -s & ln -P ?
[19:07] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> like what situation would u want to use ln -P
[19:07] <bekks> Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: In the situation you dont want hard links anymore.
[19:08] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> what is a hard link about
[19:08] <PatrickDickey> cheater__: One thing I'm finding is this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?s=saucy You can probably pull the source down from there. Otherwise, I'm not sure. I would agree with MonkeyDust, when he said you might want to ask in either #ubuntu-kernel or in #ubuntu+1
[19:10] <PatrickDickey> Roy_Ubuntu_13-04: http://linuxgazette.net/105/pitcher.html gives you a pretty good explanation.
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> Roy_Ubuntu_13-04  from the man page: "-P, --physical make hard links directly to symbolic links"
[19:10] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> how can i move the  ~/.Private folder that ecryptfs uses to a usb device to work from there. I was thinking of a symbolic link , ln -s , or should it be ln -P , if ln would work should i use -s or -P
[19:11] <Xerofyte> any ideas how can i set a VPN
[19:11] <Roy_Ubuntu_13-04> which one would be smarter in what im about to try

[19:16] <StarFlower> linuxuz3r, hi
[19:18] <linuxuz3r> hi
[19:19] <tbjr> I just upgraded from ubuntu 11.10  to 13.04.  I know some of the functionality of compiz was lost due to the introduction of Unity, however I did have the screencapture working under 11.10 and I don't remember how.  Any suggestions on how to get it working in 13.04?
[19:19] <StarFlower> tbjr, video or just image
[19:19] <ikonia> tbjr: how is it not working now ?
[19:19] <bekks> tbjr: How did you upgrade - directly?
[19:20] <tbjr> just image... it's dragging a bounding box thing with the windows super key and mouse drag
[19:21] <tbjr> I did not upgrade.. I did a fresh install and migrated /home
[19:21] <ikonia> tbjr: how is it not working
[19:21] <tbjr> @ikonia it's not available in the compiz manager now
[19:21] <ikonia> tbjr: is it installed on your system ?
[19:22] <tbjr> I think it's part of the compiz core  plugins?
[19:22] <ikonia> tbjr: is the package installed ?
[19:23] <tbjr> compiz is yes
[19:23] <ikonia> no, the screen capture tool
[19:23] <tbjr> apparently not.  How would I do that?
[19:24] <ikonia> tbjr: is it not a package in the package manager ?
[19:24] <StarFlower> you can open the software center and install shutter. if your looking for a good program
[19:24] <tbjr> I think it's part of the compiz core plugins or components
[19:24] <ikonia> tbjr: I think you'll need to check what provides it
[19:25] <tbjr> my wife loves the click and drag bounding box of compiz screencapture so that's why I'm trying to persist in this.
[19:25] <ikonia> I'm not saying drop it, I'm saying find what provides it
[19:26] <tbjr> sorry ikonia, I was responding to StarFlower
[19:26] <ikonia> tbjr: not a problem, my fault for not seeing
[19:27] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[19:27] <tbjr> ok well, thanks for your help.  I'll try looking further into where it comes from.

[19:31] <wlightning> Often my Instant Messenger (Empathy) stops notifying via the icon above, and if I miss the little bubble... I often never notice that someone has IM'd me.. is there any way to fix this or keep it from happening?
[19:31] <zykotick9> wilee-nilee: ahhh, either "apt-get purge foo" or "apt-get --purge remove foo" no mixing and matching ;)
[19:31] <michagogo> What's the opposite of `tail`?
[19:31] <wlightning> michagogo, `head`
[19:31] <ikonia> head
[19:31] <michagogo> oh
[19:31] <michagogo> that makes sense, actually
[19:32] <michagogo> :P
[19:32] <wlightning> =)
[19:32] <wlightning> wish my problem was that simple =)
[19:33] <StarFlower> you could try installing telepathy-indicator
[19:34] <StarFlower> its a bug in 13.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1060469
[19:36] <StarFlower> wlightning, are you still there?
[19:36] <wlightning> StarFlower, yep
[19:37] <wlightning> StarFlower, will try it
[19:37] <StarFlower> wlightning, ok i just wanted to make sure you knew i was talking to you, forgot to preface my messages with your chatname
[19:37] <wlightning> StarFlower, thanks =) yeah, I diddn't notice them till I read up
[19:39] <wlightning> StarFlower, hmm... it works fine for the first few hours on my system... it's after that things start to fail
[19:39] <wlightning> StarFlower, happens with the music menu and my media player too
[19:40] <wlightning> StarFlower, that's less bugging though
[19:40] <wlightning> StarFlower, hmm "telepathy-indicator is already the newest version." is what I got
[19:41] <Rarrikins> Why is the "upgrade to 13.04" program starting up automatically again when it's already running from several days ago?
[19:41] <StarFlower> StarFlower, well its a bug there still working on , there are fixes released for some things but not all of them yet
[19:41] <StarFlower> oops lol
[19:41] <StarFlower> didnt mean to talk to myself
[19:42] <schackofatz> hi
[19:42] <schackofatz> does the ubuntu install CD include all the non-free drivers and firmware?
[19:42] <wlightning> StarFlower, got it =)
[19:43] <wlightning> StarFlower, cool... well I'll add myself to the affected by the bug... I can be patient =)
[19:43] <StarFlower> wlightning, yah not much you can do unless you can get into the code and find the problem
[19:44] <silvux> schackofatz i think that not but after you finish the installation you can install those drivers
[19:44] <robcsi> Hi. anyone having problems with U1 lately? I have it installed on two machines, one Windows and one XUbuntu, and it just seems not to sync correctly. I have Tomboy notes set up to sync into a share directory, and I change some notes, it (says) it uploads, but on the other machine it does not sync the contents...
[19:45] <wlightning> StarFlower, at some point maybe.. I don't really understand how those systems interact yet.
[19:46] <vicente__> what does the channel suggest to replace the spell/grammar check in Microsoft office Word? I have libreoffice but it never seems to catch all my mistakes, this is one reason I must keep windows installed
[19:47] <skinux> What is the current best method of installing Internet Explorer inside of Ubuntu?
[19:48] <vicente__> skinux: you may want to look into wine gecko
[19:48] <skinux> I followed a tutorial using wine and Ie8, but installer says it's not compatible with my architecture.
[19:49] <silvux> skinux try installing windows in virtual machine if you cant use wine
[19:49] <skinux> Umm, I want to install IE for testing purposes, so it needs to use IE's rendering engine.
[19:49] <alpha_one_x86> hello, how install AES for java?
[19:49] <wilee-nilee> vicente__, I use a plugin called grammerly, however I would ask this in ##windows
[19:50] <wlightning> skinux, https://github.com/xdissent/ievms
[19:50] <skinux> To install anything in VBox I'd have to manage to get my empty 20G partition merged with Ubuntu's 30G partition.
[19:50] <wlightning> skinux, oh. that won't work then.. all the IE versions take up 48GB
[19:50] <StarFlower> skinux, what happens when you run the internet explorer setup
[19:51] <wilee-nilee> vicente__, great for writing academic papers. http://www.grammarly.com/
[19:51] <skinux> It begans installing, but then errors that it's not compatible with my architecture. It does this for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
[19:51] <StarFlower> which version of ie?
[19:52] <StarFlower> everything after 8.0 doesnt work at all in wine
[19:53] <StarFlower> skinux, this is the latest version that works according to appdb.winehq.org
[19:53] <StarFlower> http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/C/0/CC0BD555-33DD-411E-936B-73AC6F95AE11/IE8-WindowsXP-x86-ENU.exe
[19:54] <wilee-nilee> skinux, In ubuntu and linux in general you do not merge partitions, but resize them.
[19:54] <stiwari> guys i wanna ssh to a particular pc(whose IP I know) on a remote network, so how do I do that?
[19:54] <StarFlower> skinux, even that doesnt work well
[19:54] <jmgk> Greetings wilee-nilee
[19:54] <wilee-nilee> hi
[19:54] <StarFlower> stiwari, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[19:54] <wlightning> stiwari, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:55] <stiwari> wlightning, but the PC is on a network xx.xxx.com, and my account is on that machine only. i tried doing what you said, it didnt work...should I try the broadcast address then?
[19:56] <StarFlower> ping the address and get the ip
[19:56] <StarFlower> try again
[19:56] <Sambre> +r
[19:57] <stiwari> i tried getting ip using ifconfig
[19:57] <wlightning> stiwari, is it behind a NAT router?
[19:59] <stiwari> wlightning, not really sure. all i know is that my account is on  a machine, say xx. and the network name is say, yy.yy.com. so how do I access the machine? i have done remote logins using ssh before, but none on a particular machine.
[19:59] <wlightning> well what's the error you get when trying to ssh to it?
[19:59] <wlightning> stiwari, ^^
[20:01] <stiwari> well when i try to ssh I get nothing, and when I ping  the address it says request time out. maybe I am using the wrong address?>
[20:03] <wlightning> stiwari, well if you can't ping it.. it could be behind a NAT. especially if the address is a 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x
[20:03] <stiwari> wlightning, it is a 10.x.x.x kinda address
[20:03] <wlightning> stiwari, so.. whatever is doing the NAT will need to forward port 22 from the public IP to that 10.x.x.x IP
[20:04] <stiwari> i am pretty sure port forwarding is enabled by the sysadmin
[20:04] <wlightning> stiwari, so then you'd need the public IP to ssh...
[20:04] <wlightning> stiwari, if the forwarding is already setup for that specific machine
[20:05] <stiwari> ok so how do I get the public IP?
[20:06] <wlightning> stiwari, if the machine has a web browser.. searching Google for "What is my IP?" and it'll say above the search results "Your public IP address is x.x.x.x - Learn More"
[20:07] <PatrickDickey> stiwari: Or you can go to http://whatismyip.com and it should give you the IP address also.
[20:08] <stiwari> well when I try to ssh using the IP given by Google, it says no route to host
[20:08] <PatrickDickey> stiwari: what exactly are you trying to do? ssh inside of your network, or ssh to a computer from outside?
[20:08] <stiwari> ssh to a compute(which resides on a network, say xx.xx.com) from outside
[20:08] <stiwari> *computer, I mean
[20:09] <stiwari> I am damn sure its possible, since almost all the people in my lab(where my mchine is) ssh to their own machines all the time from outside
[20:09] <PatrickDickey> stiwari: And do you know for a fact that their router has the port set up for it?
[20:10] <wlightning> stiwari, have you tried asking them how they do it?
[20:10] <PatrickDickey> Is it me, or are the FloodBots going a bit wacko today?
[20:11] <stiwari> well, I want to figure out on my own rather than ask them...but if nothing works out I might have to do that.
[20:11] <Pici> PatrickDickey: freenode is acting a bit wacko today. The bots can't keep up.
[20:12] <PatrickDickey> That explains a lot then. I got booted off for a Ping timeout, and couldn't get on. Then it took two minutes for it to identify me (said NickServ didn't exist).
[20:13] <xmetal> ok i am just wondering if it'd be a better idea to go with 12.04 LTS or 13.04 ?
[20:14] <PatrickDickey> xmetal: It's pretty much a matter of personal preference, and whether you need the bleeding-edge (or close to it) or more stable.
[20:15] <wlightning> stiwari, we're just doing a bunch of guess-work here, it's really hard for us to give you advice without knowing the full setup.
[20:15] <wlightning> stiwari, and there may be someone you have to ask in order to get it setup.. that's how it is for a lot of places.
[20:16] <PatrickDickey> bbs hopefully. I'm going to try and reboot. Then hopefully apt-get autoremove will actually remove the old kernels... :S
[20:18] <stiwari> wlighning, I understand that very well. thanks a lot to you and everyone else for all your time and efforts.
[20:18] <xmetal> as long as the packages are not "too old" i dont need the latest
[20:18] <wlightning> stiwari, sorry I don't really have much more I can do =)
[20:19] <xmetal> such as i  can get the newest Firefox or VLC (for the most part lastest), i'd be happy with 12
[20:19] <stiwari> hey you have done a lot already, so why the sorry? lol
[20:19] <xmetal> though for a LTS release i plan on getting the NEXT update
[20:19] <xmetal> not the Oct (or Nov for Mint) but the NEXT two releases of those distros will be LTS
[20:20] <xmetal> next year i mean
[20:20] <balrog-k1n> hi, a moment ago when trying to log into the standard unity desktop, it'd only flicker the screen and immediately go back to the login screen, and i saw this in the dmesg everytime:
[20:20] <balrog-k1n> type=1400 audit(1380658030.999:43): apparmor="DENIED" operation="
[20:20] <balrog-k1n> open" parent=1 profile="/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session-wrapper"
[20:20] <balrog-k1n> name="/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory" pid=3301 comm="pool" requested_mask="r" de
[20:20] <balrog-k1n> nied_mask="r" fsuid=118 ouid=0
[20:20] <balrog-k1n> sorry for the fragmented paste
[20:21] <xmetal> ok if i get 12.04 will i be getting the latest software (when i update of course)
[20:21] <xmetal> or will the general software be "a few versions behind" 13.x ?
[20:21] <xmetal> (say VLC and FIrefox again for an example)
[20:22] <wadie> I changed to unity 2d and now when I play a movie I can't see the video. only audio!
[20:22] <balrog-k1n> later, trying to log in the same way it'd only report some STATUS messages instead of DENIED, and a minutre or so later it just let me log in, what's wrong?
[20:23] <xmetal> i am going to get 13.04 and if i have time 12.04
[20:23] <xmetal> so i have both
[20:23] <xmetal> hmm @ freenet and the floodbots
[20:24] <wadie> I changed to unity 2d and now when I play a movie I can't see the video. only audio!
[20:25] <TheOnlyJoey|Lap> Good day, i am trying out the latest daily of 13.10 and am setting up Nvidia proprietary 319 with nvidia-prime, the problem is that everything seems to work but i am getting a black screen
[20:25] <Pici> TheOnlyJoey|Lap :Raring/13.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[20:25] <Pici> TheOnlyJoey|Lap: er, and by raring/13.04 I mean saucy/13.10
[20:26] <TheOnlyJoey|Lap> Pici, ah thanks will do
[20:27] <Tex_Nick> my router & PoE died last night ... i've borrowed a PoE from a friend ... now need to setup an old box for router, until replacement parts arrive ... has anyone here set up wireless access on Smoothwall ? ... Smoothwall doesn't seem to have IRC support
[20:27] <bekks> Tex_Nick: That doesnt make Smoothwall an Ubuntu issue :)
[20:29] <vicente__> anyone here do m2m cell work?
[20:29] <TheOnlyJoey|Lap> Tex_Nick, #smoothwall on OFTC
[20:29] <TheOnlyJoey|Lap> Tex_Nick, http://www.smoothwall.org/irc/
[20:29] <Tex_Nick> bekks: right sir thought i'd give a shot sorry
[20:30] <schackofatz> Tex_Nick: also maybe more luck in ##hardware or ##networking in case smoothwall won't do
[20:31] <Tex_Nick> TheOnlyJoey|Lap & schackofatz , hey thanks for the replys ... i'll those a shot :)
[20:32] <wadie> I changed to unity 2d and now when I play a movie I can't see the video. only audio!
[20:35] <sil> what are you using?
[20:36] <wadie> the regular movie player
[20:36] <sil> alright
[20:36] <sil> try vlc
[20:37] <wadie> same thing with vlc :\
[20:37] <wadie> tried it already
[20:38] <sil> look at the output configuration. Something up there?
[20:41] <rafael_> Hi, how can i know the name of my current window manager that i'm using?
[20:43] <OerHeks> rafael_, open terminal:  echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
[20:44] <zykotick9> OerHeks: that looked promising, but only gives me a blank line :(..
[20:44] <OerHeks> It gives me "Unity"
[20:46] <rafael_> OerHeks> it gives me "gnome", but i do not know what theme i install, if metacity or gtk, i'm confused
[20:47] <OerHeks> rafael_, what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[20:47] <rafael_> Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[20:47] <rafael_> OerHeks: Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[20:48] <OerHeks> rafael_, so my guess is you installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[20:50] <mrmcgibby> What's the easiest way to get common logins for a small network with windows mac and linux clients?
[20:51] <Spec> mrmcgibby: ldap?
[20:51] <rafael_> OerHeks: yes, but i want to install a theme for gnome, i'm not in doubt choose which type in gnome-look.org site
[20:52] <mrmcgibby> Spec: I was looking at Samba AD.  You think LDAP would be easier?  Just worried about setting up the windows clients.
[20:52] <djQuery> running 2 monitors with the promary on the right and the secondary on the left. is there a way to move the task bar to the right side of the screen?
[20:53] <trism> rafael_: metacity are the window themes (the borders of the windows), gtk is the toolkit theme (the widgets, buttons, etc), they are pretty much all the same between unity and gnome, except gnome-shell has shell themes too (in addition to the others)
[20:54] <Timtimo> Hey guys, I'm running compiz and I set the opacity from the panels to 40, now I'd like to set the opacity from the icons IN THE panel to 100% is there a way to do it?
[20:55] <kristal> http://time.gov/ TIME HAS ENDED, where do I get the time now...
[20:55] <bekks> kristal: http://time.whistleblowers.org :>
[20:56] <Timtimo> anyone worked a lot of time with compiz?
[20:57] <mrmcgibby> Timtimo: the icons have always been 100% opaque for me, regardless of the panel opacity
[20:58] <Timtimo> mrmcgibby: I set the panel opacity to 40%, the icons in the panel are at 40% too :-/
[20:58] <OerHeks> Timtimo, install unity-tweak, icons should not alter when setting opacity to 40 or less
[20:59] <Timtimo> Ah, forgot to say, that I'm using Gnome, not Unity :)
[20:59] <Timtimo> OerHeks: I got some tuts via google but all are made with Unity
[21:00] <xangua> Timtimo: gnome shell doesn't use compiz (¿)
[21:00] <OerHeks> Timtimo, i don; t know if gnome-desktop does it different, try gnome-tweak-tool
[21:01] <rafael_> trism: thank you!!!
[21:01] <rafael_> OerHeks: thank you too!
[21:01] <wadie> sil ,what do you mean?
[21:01] <Timtimo> xangua: it does :b
[21:02] <Timtimo> I'm using compiz as window manager (gnome classic)
[21:05] <linuxuz3r> Timtimo, hi what gnome version are you running
[21:07] <Timtimo> linuxuz3r: I'm running <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:08] <baphomet1> Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client?  I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect.  Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue.
[21:11] <xangua> Timtimo: you could have better luck if you use a dock
[21:13] <MrPotatoHead> Hello, I am having sound problems with my machine running Ubuntu 12.04 Server LTS
[21:13] <TonnyNerd> Can anyone tell me if AUFS is being supported on newer releases? I am using ubuntu 12.04
[21:15] <mahem1> k
[21:17] <MrPotatoHead> the nature of the problem is that the integrated sound card appears in my list of devices, but the volume slider and mute checkbox are greyed out.
[21:17] <mn3m0nic> Hello, Saucy here, searching "Bitcoin" into the Software Center: The only result is Bitcoin-Qt, nothing about Electrum (but it's in the repository). Where I can report this ?
[21:17] <schackofatz> hi, when i create a custom ubuntu install CD and the data needs more space than a CD or a DVD can contain. will it automatically be split into tow isos?
[21:17] <MrPotatoHead> I tried some terminal commands my friend found on google, here is a screenshot: http://johnholbrook.no-ip.org/img/terminal2.png
[21:17] <G33kDude> I am MrPotatoHead's friend
[21:18] <OerHeks> MrPotatoHead, use alsamixer > F6 to select soundcard and play with the sliders, m is mute
[21:19] <OerHeks> just type alsamixer [enter]
[21:19] <tozen> schackofatz: what soft do u use to create it?
[21:19] <OerHeks> mn3m0nic, join #ubuntu+1 for saucy support, until release

[21:20] <BluesKaj> MrPotatoHead, which sound chip , in the top left in alsamixer
[21:20] <tozen> schackofatz: have you ever tried remastersys?
[21:20] <schackofatz> tozen: right now - non. i was just looking at the instrcuctions and they were more like "yeah dude, just fill in what you need and make the iso" - no concern about size at all.
[21:20] <schackofatz> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[21:20] <schackofatz> tozen: remastering is bad. better make a custom one
[21:21] <GeekDude> MrPotatoHead: OerHeks: If it helps, here is lspci and lsmod output http://pastebin.com/P7RGv3gz
[21:21] <schackofatz> at least the debian folks make a distinktion there
[21:21] <schackofatz> tozen: remastering = mes around with existing iso; custom cd or mastering  = pack your own from scratch
[21:22] <MrPotatoHead> BluesKaj: Intel 82801BA-ICH2
[21:22] <schackofatz> tozen: anyway - i was wondering what will happen if the data can not be contained by one CD or one DVD
[21:23] <GeekDude> The error when using ALSA on MrPotatoHead's server: "aplay: main:682: audio open error: No such file or directory"
[21:23] <BluesKaj> MrPotatoHead, in the terminal , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , there will be no output from that command if the kernel module/driver loads properly , the a reboot will probly be needed
[21:24] <BluesKaj> then
[21:24] <MrPotatoHead> BluesKaj: rebooting now

[21:46] <pentest> it is in the pic if you look..
[21:47] <BluesKaj> MrPotatoHead, do you have pavucontrol installed , it's settings can help solidify the outputs
[21:47] <pentest> it seems that virtualbox guest os can not get an ip from virbr0 which is created bt libvirt
[21:47] <MrPotatoHead> BluesKaj: I do not have pavucontrol installed that I know of
[21:47] <bekks> pentest: What do you need virbr0 for? The ages when vbox needed that are long gone...
[21:48] <pentest> I installed some virtual os on another server which I needed to manage from this laptop..
[21:48] <BluesKaj>  sorry , but I have to leave , MrPotatoHead , install pavucontrol , it will help ...gotta go now
[21:48] <pentest> hence I have installed virt-manager in this laptop
[21:48] <MrPotatoHead> OK, thanks
[21:49] <k1l_> !saucy | Sander^Lap

[21:51] <Aprel> Hi. Full installed ubuntu to flashdrive and got everything working fine, but the size is >3GB and would like to reduce this as much as possible. Just want the basic linux commands via terminal, firefox, and my video drivers which I've installed. Any big packages I can uninstall? Is there a list of optional software? Just not sure looking at `dpkg --list` what's not uninstallable.
[21:51] <pentest> well if I do not use virbr0 the only other NIC is wlan0 which I can bridge.. but it is connected to Internet.. so U should not be able to use it for LTSP dhcp server
[21:51] <pentest> am I right
[21:51] <bekks> pentest: No.
[21:52] <pentest> good..I like to wrong..
[21:52] <pentest> so what is the correct way then
[21:52] <pentest> remember I only have one NIC
[21:52] <pentest> Physical NIC
[21:52] <bekks> pentest: Then your setup is impossible.
[21:52] <pentest> why is that please...
[21:53] <pentest> surely I should be able to create virtual adapter and point LTSP server to that adapter
[21:53] <bekks> BEcause you only have one physical network and you cannot differentiate between the traffic of your both logical networks.
[21:53] <Aprel> By "uninstallable" I mean system packages that will cause instability if missing lol
[21:53] <onethfour> what is the deal with ubuntu portable, it seems awesome, but no one has upgraded it to x64
[21:53] <pentest> why not...
[21:53] <quidnunc> I upgraded Ubuntu and now dovecot won't serve pre-upgrade maildir messages. Some but not all of the old messages show up if I load the directory directly in my MUA. Anyone have any ideads
[21:53] <quidnunc> ideas*
[21:53] <quidnunc> ?
[21:53] <bekks> pentest: Refer to chapter 6 of the vbox manual for different settings.
[21:54] <pentest> virtual adapter can be only a different subnet and that virtual adapter can communicate with wlan0
[21:54] <pentest> okay...
[21:54] <bekks> huh?
[21:54] <bekks> No :)
[21:54] <pentest> why not
[21:54] <bekks> pentest: Networking basics.
[21:54] <k1l_> onethfour: its not an offical ubuntu so please see their support
[21:54] <pentest> I am just have a brainstorm..and not arguing if that makes any sense
[21:54] <bekks> pentest: It doesnt :)
[21:55] <pentest> okay let me read then
[21:55] <pentest> thanks bekks
[21:56] <Aprel> Already got rid of thunderbird. Any other big packages like that that ubuntu comes with with default install?
[21:57] <onethfour> I want to run ubuntu apps on windows like this: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3280/portableubuntuscreenshowk7.jpg How do I do it?
[21:58] <k1l_> Aprel: why not go the other way? install the minimal install and install just the stuff you need
[21:58] <Guest10015> hi
[21:58] <Guest10015> i want to make a command line utility for an open source project (a type of forum)
[21:59] <Aprel> k1l_: wish I had :( Took several hours to install to flashdrive after the grub mishaps I had. Would like to do that as a fallback.
[21:59] <Guest10015> say the project is called board
[21:59] <Guest10015> and i want to make a utility that does things like
[21:59] <Aprel> k1l_: how much space does a minimal install take up?
[21:59] <k1l_> !minimal
[21:59] <Guest10015> board backup-site > /var/backup
[21:59] <tgm4883> onethfour, that looks like virtualbox
[21:59] <Guest10015> how can i make the command line understand board as referring to the utility
[21:59] <onethfour> tgm4883, its not, its portable ubuntu
[22:00] <onethfour> currently only working on x86 (32bit)
[22:00] <k1l_> onethfour: it is
[22:00] <onethfour> k1l_, no its not
[22:00] <k1l_> its a virtual workaround. but again: see their support. its not an official ubuntu
[22:00] <tgm4883> onethfour, in any case, we don't support portableubuntu here
[22:01] <JohnVonNeumann> i run ubuntu on my server and when the modem is put off an then turned on  ithe Ip changes
[22:01] <volpe> ìciao
[22:01] <tgm4883> JohnVonNeumann, yes, and?
[22:02] <onethfour> http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2009/04/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows/
[22:02] <jobelenus> hey, it seems that `fc-cache` is no longer a command, or oddly not on root's path… is there a new command, or where did it run off to??
[22:02] <tgm4883> onethfour, still, not supported here
[22:03] <JohnVonNeumann> tgm4883: i wanna the IP grt fixed
[22:03] <k1l_> onethfour: again: it uses a virtualisation instance and it is not supported in here. ask the project itself why they do things or dont.
[22:04] <tgm4883> JohnVonNeumann, you mean your private IP (eg. 192.168.x.x), or your public IP?
[22:04] <TheGreatBacon> JohnVonNeumann you need to set your modem to give that server a static IP address, and then configure the interface on the server for whichever IP
[22:04] <JohnVonNeumann> the private one
[22:05] <tgm4883> JohnVonNeumann, then you either need to setup a static on your server, or configure your modem to reserve the IP address for your MAC
[22:09] <TheGreatBacon> ohai ubottu
[22:11] <jobelenus> hey, it seems that `fc-cache` is no longer a command, or oddly not on root's path… is there a new command, or where did it run off to??
[22:11] <zxzx> my 13.04 install screen res is set at 1024x768, how to edit the config to allow more resolutions?
[22:12] <jobelenus> can anyone just run `which fc-cache` and tell me what they get for a path?
[22:13] <bekks> jobelenus: /usr/bin/
[22:13] <TheGreatBacon> jobelenus what version of ubuntu?
[22:14] <jobelenus> im on lucid (10.04)
[22:14] <jobelenus> yea, its definitely not there in /usr/bin.. hrmm… this is a server, without a windowing system.. could that be the issue?
[22:16] <TheGreatBacon> jobelenus is the server hosting anything that would need access to fonts?
[22:16] <baphomet1> Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client?  I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect.  Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue.
[22:16] <jobelenus> yea… i am using wkhtmltopdf
[22:17] <TheGreatBacon> hmm
[22:17] <jobelenus> TheGreatBacon: so i need to install a font (which i've moved to /usr/share/fonts already)… but cant seem to rebuild the cache now
[22:17] <Anto> hola
[22:17] <TheGreatBacon> i get it, i just don't remember where fc-cache was in 10.04
[22:17] <TheGreatBacon> trying to google for it though
[22:17] <adac> How can I setup the application that should be opened when I open a torrent?
[22:18] <jobelenus> TheGreatBacon: well, are you sure that fc-cache would be installed on systems without x11/gnome/etc?
[22:18] <honestemu> Whenever I log in, I get the error message: "An online account needs attention". I tried googling it, but I can't find a solution because it was a known bug. I was just curious if any of you have the same problem and if any of you have a solution.
[22:18] <jobelenus> e.g. my problem is not "why isnt it on the path", but instead "i need to install it and all its dependencies"
[22:19] <TheGreatBacon> ah, so you need to install it then.  do you have apt?
[22:19] <jobelenus> i don't know if i need to -- thats what i want to figure out
[22:19] <Anto> hello
[22:19] <Anto> talk in spanish?
[22:19] <TheGreatBacon> is this for a production system, or a hobbie type of deal
[22:19] <baphomet1> Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client?  I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect.  Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue.
[22:19] <jobelenus> TheGreatBacon: production, hence my reluctance
[22:19] <TheGreatBacon> ah, gotcha
[22:19] <TheGreatBacon> hang on then while i research it
[22:21] <TheGreatBacon> jobelenus, do u have fontconfig installed?  it's a dependancy
[22:21] <Guest10015> how do i make a command line utility
[22:21] <jobelenus> `which fontconfig` is empty
[22:21] <jobelenus> `which font-config` is empty too
[22:21] <jobelenus> so, doesnt look like it
[22:21] <Guest10015> I want it to work like the command line utilities on linux
[22:22] <k1l_> !spanish | Anto
[22:22] <Guest10015> <utility name> <command> <arguments>
[22:22] <Guest10015> how can I make a utility like that?
[22:22] <TheGreatBacon> jobelenus, to begin: you will need to install it.  can you verify that fontconfig will be compatible with your requirements?  If so, then 'apt-get install fontconfig'
[22:23] <jobelenus> ok cool...
[22:23] <TheGreatBacon> let me know when that completes please
[22:23] <Guest10015> presione intro.
 <utility name> <command> <arguments>
 how can I make a utility like that?
[22:23] <Guest10015> !Japanese | Guest10015
[22:24] <Guest10015> !Hebrew | Guest10015
[22:24] <ikonia> Guest10015: that's just the output of $1 in a shell script,
[22:24] <ikonia> Guest10015: please stop randomly using the bot, pm ubottu if you want to use it
[22:24] <baphomet1> Could someone here help me in getting connected to an IPSec tunnel (setup by OpenSwan) from an Ubuntu client?  I have tried with VPNC but I cannot connect.  Other non-linux clients are able to connect to the tunnel just fine which leads me to believe this is a client side issue.
[22:24] <Guest10015> how do I pm, Ikkiko ?
[22:24] <Guest10015> ikonia, *

[22:25] <Guest10015> where is the answer?
[22:25] <ikonia> Guest10015: that's just the output of $1 in a shell script,
[22:25] <Guest10015> ok
[22:27] <iTitou> Hi everyone, I have a PN544-based NFC card reader, and I want to play with it. For this, I think I should use neard (https://01.org/linux-nfc/about), but in order to compile neardAL (https://01.org/linux-nfc/about) I need glib>=2.30. I googled a bit, and it seems tricky.
[22:28] <ikonia> iTitou: it would be VERY unwise to change glibc versions
[22:29] <iTitou> ikonia: I don't want to replace my current GLib version, but I would like to have a static libGLib to build neardAL
[22:29] <ikonia> iTitou: you can use that, however I suspect it will cause run time problms from your application unless you are very careful
[22:31] <iTitou> ikonia: I tried to build GLib 2.36, but automake raised a version error too
[22:32] <ikonia> iTitou: you'll need to work through any reverse dependencies, very very carefull
[22:32] <ikonia> carefully
[22:33]  * iTitou scared
[22:33] <iorweth> How can i change default location to upload files with vsftp? I want it to be /var/www
[22:34] <ikonia> change the public ftp root
[22:34] <iorweth> how?
[22:34] <ikonia> it's in the config file
[22:34] <iorweth> ok, thanks - ikonia
[22:36]  * TheGreatBacon never gets thanked
[22:37] <iorweth> I really can't find it in the config file...
[22:39] <upd> !g vsftp ubuntu default upload path
[23:02] <TheMercurio> Hi guys
[23:03] <TheMercurio> My graphic card is AMD Radeon HD7670M & my ubuntu version is 13.04 gnome x64
[23:03] <TheMercurio> I just installed original drivers from amd.com but it is worse than xorg drivers
[23:04] <TheMercurio> Is there any problem?
[23:04] <m_tadeu> I have an irda transmiter/receiver....does these devices usualy get detected when I connecto to the usb?
[23:05] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, you can find out with the command 'lsusb'
[23:06] <wingnut2626> anyone in here familiar with cron?
[23:06]  * TheGreatBacon is familiar with cron
[23:06] <TheMercurio> is TheGreatBacon familiar with AMD drivers ?
[23:07] <wingnut2626> if i have 2 cron jobs scheduled at the same time, does cron wait for the first process to start the 2nd, or do they both run at the sametime
[23:07] <wingnut2626> ?
[23:07] <Pici> wingnut2626: they both run at the same time
[23:07] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: it's not there....my question would be to know if this is normal (not being detected) or this device won't work connected to a pc
[23:07] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, is the Ubuntu machine physical or virtual
[23:08] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: physical
[23:08] <wingnut2626> ok i am running 2 shell scripts, the 2nd of which is dependent on the output of the first, so I guess I'll make one cron entry with a ; seperating the commands
[23:09] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu when you say it's not detected, do you mean that the output of 'lsusb' does not reveal the device(s) in question?  Or do you mean that when you plug it in, nothing pops up on your UI to show you it's now connected and ready for use?
[23:09] <Zyroo> Hello how may i regenerate /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules its missing content and one of my interface not working
[23:10] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: nothing shows up in lsusb, neither dmesg
[23:10] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu when version of Ubuntu
[23:11] <TheGreatBacon> what* version of Ubuntu
[23:11] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: 13.04
[23:11] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, Server or Desktop?
[23:12] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: desktop
[23:12] <m_tadeu> this is a repeater device...so maybe this was a bad purchase :P just trying to figure out if it can interact with the pc, somehow
[23:13] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, is the USB device detected when inserted into another Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop?
[23:13] <compdoc> Zyroo, you can use the command:  udevadm trigger
[23:13] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: dmesg and /var/log/syslog don't say a thing
[23:13] <compdoc> some sites say to delete the file. some say to just erase the device lines inside the file
[23:14] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, dmesg and syslog on a different Ubuntu 13.04 desktop system or this one?
[23:15] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: tihs one
[23:15] <compdoc> Zyroo, also:    sudo INTERFACE=eth0 udevadm test --action=add /sys/class/net/eth0
[23:15] <Zyroo> compdoc: tnx let me chk
[23:15] <TheGreatBacon> how about another 13.04 desktop
[23:15] <yareth> Any good recommended site or sites to check after a Ubuntu 13.04 install ? ? Would like as many codecs to work as possible, and netflicks if thats possible. Suggestions ?
[23:16] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: I don't have another
[23:16] <Zyroo> compdoc: The names eth0 is not getting m getting em1 and p5p1
[23:16] <freannrak> I'm using 12.04 and tried using cairo dock as my primary one. After deciding I didn't like it I removed it from my package manager and rebooted. When selecting "Ubuntu" from the login screen the unity launcher and GUI doesn't start. All I have is a blank desktop and the ability to launch the terminal via ctrl+alt+t shortcut. When choosing 2D Ubuntu from the login screen unity launcher + gui shows up fine, but I'd still like to use the 3D version. Any suggest
[23:16] <compdoc> Zyroo, substitute as needed
[23:16] <migas> Welcome to #ubuntu, Bercik !
[23:16] <migas> Welcome to #ubuntu, virusuy !
[23:16] <migas> Welcome to #ubuntu, virusuy !
[23:17] <Pici> migas: turn that off please.
[23:17] <compdoc> Zyroo, useful command:    ls -al /sys/class/net/*
[23:18] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, Can you plug it into any other system to determine if it is read there?
[23:18] <migas> Welcome to #ubuntu, zarroboogs !
[23:18] <Zyroo> compdoc: I added do i have to restart network or reboot to get effect still the rules file empty
[23:19] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: I can't...I have no other system here
[23:19] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, I'm leaning toward it being a bad device with the information we have right now.  Would you agree?
[23:20] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: I might....as I said, it is a ir repeater...just making sure it wasn't able to interact with the pc
[23:20] <Zyroo> compdoc: I restarted still no effect
[23:21] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, how old is it
[23:22] <freannrak> to answer my own question, I just needed to reenable the unity-plugin from CompizConfig
[23:23] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: seems kinda new...you can take a look at it here... http://www.ebay.com/itm/130978728295?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
[23:25] <laniasepstuisna> eee
[23:25] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, hold on a sec.  Your USB port may not be putting out 5V
[23:26] <TheGreatBacon> can you verify the output voltage at the USB port you are attempting to use?
[23:26] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: I think it is....because it's lighting up a led
[23:26] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu you can light a led but not entirely power a device
[23:26] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: ok how can I check that?
[23:26] <TheGreatBacon> I'd check the output voltage at the port
[23:26] <TheGreatBacon> Voltmeter
[23:27] <wingnut2626> when would a crontab entry of '0 * * * *' execute?  I want to guess every hour on the hour?
[23:27] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: I don't have one....but I usualy charge my mobile on this port
[23:28] <lulnix> hey, wondering if anyone could help me with a driver issue?
[23:28] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu, I'd check the voltage
[23:29] <ggherdov> hello. just installed virtualbox via apt-get, and got some not-so-reassuring [fail].
[23:29] <ggherdov> Notably, "No suitable module for running kernel found". Here the details: http://bpaste.net/show/QgBhqhLfZ0ylysMiVlxv/
[23:29] <ggherdov> How much worried should I be?
[23:29] <malinus> Hello. I'm concerned about my privacy when using ubuntu. I've already removed unity and zeitgeist, and installed xfce instead. But now I can't find the privacy options. Any ideas where they are?
[23:31] <lulnix> i have fglrx-updates installed right now and is working fine with running 3 monitors on a HD 7790.... whenever i install the propriatary drivers off the amd site my system never boots after and i sit in blackness untill i reinstall OS. Can't run games good with fglrx-eperimental or fglrx-update... what do?
[23:32] <max3> can someone help me understand something about process scheduling in operating systems? is it possible to have a process run for exactly its quantum in round-robin scheduling? if the quantum is some multiple of the timer interrupt period for example?
[23:32] <max3> join #oses
[23:33] <m_tadeu> TheGreatBacon: ok thanx...I'll try to do that....in the meanwhile, I'll open the device and check if all wires are connected or only the power wires
[23:34] <TheGreatBacon> m_tadeu: Good call
[23:34] <dog-food> lulnix I had the same problem so I don't use the drivers from amd site
