[13:58] <user0404440> wfdnwork: How good is the quality of the signal?
[13:59] <Ari-Yang> pittler, this is kind of offtopic ;/
[13:59] <user0404440> wfdnwork: e.g. how many of the bars in the wifi icon are filled?
[13:59] <gordonjcp> juniorsa: the way that nginx deals with PHP isn't totally like Apache, and you need to read up on how php5-fpm works with it
[13:59] <kengot> fidel: OK I keep getting this message when I boot up: "[1.305159] kernel panic - not syncing; VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (0.0)"
[13:59] <wfdnwork> user0404440: 4 bars, the max, i think
[13:59] <Ari-Yang> pittler, again, this is a support channel. If you aren't going to stick with ubuntu, then you're just wasting your time here.
[13:59] <juniorsa> gordonjcp: but the default apt-get doesn't work is that normal
[13:59] <pittler> well I think that's fairly obvious
[13:59] <gordonjcp> juniorsa: there's a bit of configuration to do first
[14:00] <pittler> are you going to ban me?
[14:00] <Ari-Yang> no
[14:00] <pittler> that would be cherry on top
[14:00] <kengot> laptop
[14:00] <Ari-Yang> pittler, I'm sure you can leave yourself ^__^
[14:00] <juniorsa> I followed the http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-and-php-fpm-and-mysql-support-lemp-on-ubuntu-12.04-lts but I still get this perms error
[14:00] <Ben64> pittler: why not just leave instead of spamming the channel with nonsense?
[14:00] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Have you tried restarting your laptop?
[14:00] <user0404440> (assuming it's a laptop)
[14:00] <Ari-Yang> pittler, good luck with your Windows re-install and what not (^_________________^)/
[14:00] <kengot> Toshiba L355
[14:00] <pittler> ok i get it
[14:01] <pittler> well it has been an interesting experience
[14:01] <fidel> °details kengot
[14:01] <fidel> !details kengot
[14:01] <pittler> I wish you all the very best
[14:01] <wfdnwork> user0404440: yes, i'm trying to connect at this network in weeks, i'm using this network now  but using wired connection
[14:01] <fidel> kengot: is that a fresh setup or something else?
[14:01] <Ari-Yang> pittler, you too
[14:01] <wfdnwork> user0404440: but sometimes there is no wire available
[14:01] <pittler> and hope you will find it in you to treat the next guy better
[14:02] <pittler> even if he is as stupid as me
[14:02] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Is there anything special about the network?
[14:02] <kengot> been running it along side of Mate 15 for a couple months
[14:02] <Ari-Yang> pittler, so far all of these guys here that came in after you and are getting support are just fine
[14:02] <usr13> pittler: I've been on a number of IRC channles and have seen a lot of criticism, but not sure I'm not so sure about personal abuse, some may take it that way but... well, for instance, I've been called an idiot before and that was because I said something wrong, so I asked the guy why I was an idiot and he told me what I said that was wrong and so in the end, I appreciated the criticism, (even though it came in the form of "personal abuse", but I don't call it
[14:02] <Ari-Yang> :3
[14:02] <pittler> have a nice day
[14:02] <mont> does a raspberry pi chat exist?
[14:02] <Ben64> pittler: nobody treaded you bad, but whatever
[14:02] <Ari-Yang> bye, pittler
[14:02] <Ben64> mont: #raspberrypi
[14:02] <pittler> wow wall of text tl;dr
[14:02] <pittler> god bless you all
[14:02] <Ari-Yang> you too
[14:02] <user0404440> semper fi, brother
[14:02] <mont> thx
[14:03] <wfdnwork> user0404440: its a college network
[14:03] <gordonjcp> pittler: did you have an Ubuntu support question?
[14:03] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Do you have to supply your credentials?
[14:03] <pittler> you can find me on google +, paul pittlerson
[14:03] <sett> wow this is amazing, installed linux and after 1 hour config everything works, thanks ubuntu
[14:03]  * cfhowlett ... d'oh!
[14:03] <usr13> pittler: God bless you too.
[14:03] <gordonjcp> sett: it's pretty straightforward
[14:03] <pittler> i love you all
[14:04] <pittler> despite you know..
[14:04] <user0404440> wfdnwork: I mean, do you have to supply anything other than a regular wifi password, such as your university credentials? I know this is the case for my university.
[14:04] <Ari-Yang> [09:32:55] <pittler> where is the start menu [09:34:28] <pittler> it won't let me install norton anti virus ---> gordonjcp
[14:04] <sett> gordonjcp, ye spent 20 hours before trying to install something else :)
[14:04] <xubuntu_> you are using vpn?
[14:04] <god__363> hello
[14:04] <xubuntu_> are you*
[14:04] <Ben64> pittler: just leave, or ask an actual support question, for the love of god
[14:04] <Ari-Yang> Ben64, he's just butt-hurt and wants a ban ;|
[14:05] <pittler> well since _you_ brought up the topic of the love of god
[14:05] <Ben64> no
[14:05] <Pici> Move on.
[14:05] <pittler> i have a few things to say about that
[14:05] <kengot> fidel: seems to run ok most of the time but lately it's been freezing up and then on reboot grib goes straight to Mate and bypasses choice
[14:05]  * Catbuntu awäy
[14:05] <Ben64> pitelpan: stop being offtopic. go to #ubuntu-offtopic or be quiet
[14:05] <duoi> can someone give pittler a friendly kick out of the room
[14:06] <pittler> have you heard about the Lord?
[14:06] <clue_h> The start menu? just press the windows key. I assume you mean something that shows installed programs
[14:06] <pittler> it's very good news
[14:06] <cfhowlett> !smite
[14:06] <fidel> thx
[14:06] <clue_h> I think i answered his question as he was banned lol
[14:07] <Ben64> pretty sure he was a troll anyway
[14:07] <user0404440> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 13.04 on a laptop. I am using ubuntu-13.04-server-amd64.iso. The md5 sum of that .iso file is correct. I have written it to a USB stick using Unetbootin 5.85 on Debian Testing. No problems were reported. The USB flash drive was properly ejected. The installer launches just fine, but when I do "check integrity of disk", I get the following error: "The ./install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.c
[14:07] <cfhowlett> Ben64, ya think?
[14:07] <duoi> he's trolling his ass off. his google+ page he mentioned has him posting about Mint and a few presentations by Linus T
[14:07] <Pici> Lets move on folks.
[14:07] <fidel> kengot: try t speak to the channel - not only me. so do you get the kernel panic on each boot now?
[14:07] <foofoobar> Hi. Running ubuntu 13.04 on a macbook pro.  When the copy process comes near the finish (about 10% left), the speed rapidly goes down until it stops and does not finish it
[14:08] <duoi> how can i open a second instance of an already open application?
[14:08] <xubuntu_> user0404440: can you send  the full msg
[14:08] <xubuntu_> user0404440: error msg*
[14:08] <fidel> duoi: i guess that depends on the application - if it allows a second instance at all or not in the first place
[14:08] <user0404440> xubuntu_: I get the following error: "The ./install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/pxelinux.cfg/default file failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your CD-ROM or this file may have been corrupted."
[14:08] <usr13> duoi: Depends on what application.
[14:08] <user0404440> xubuntu_: Must have been truncated by the IRC server.
[14:08] <zmbmartin> I just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro. Things seem to be going good so far.
[14:08] <zmbmartin> How can I enable drag lock with my touchpad.
[14:09] <Ari-Yang> !pastebin | user0404440
[14:09] <duoi> fidel usr13 smplayer
[14:09] <kengot> No, but about 50% of the time. Have to force shutdown and try reboot several times to get it anything back up
[14:09] <zmbmartin> I am not using the synaptics driver as far as I can tell.
[14:09] <xubuntu_> user0404440: i think that the iso file has been corrupted. you would need to create  the usb image again
[14:09] <juniorsa> Hi is anyone able to help me to get php5 working with nginx? I'm using 12.04 LTS and I keep getting "connect() to unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock failed (13: Permission denied)"
[14:09] <user0404440> xubuntu_: I'm retrying it now on Windows.
[14:09] <xubuntu_> user0404440: after donwloading de ISO from the ubuntu site
[14:09] <user0404440> ;__;
[14:10] <user0404440> The iso file that I downloaded from ubuntu.com is 100% correct. I checked the md5 sum.
[14:10] <usr13> duoi: I suppose you could play two streams, is that your goal?
[14:10] <xubuntu_> user0404440: i suggest you to burn a cd and try it
[14:10] <cfhowlett> user0404440, good.  but the boot usb/cd could still be scrambled.  make another.
[14:10] <kengot> Can I install a new 14.04 kernel over the top of 10.04 and not lose my files?
[14:11] <duoi> usr13: yes
[14:11] <kengot> oops, I mean 11.04 LTS
[14:11] <gordonjcp> juniorsa: have you followed all the instructions for getting nginx and php5-fpm working?
[14:11] <gordonjcp> kengot: 12.04LTS ?
[14:11] <usr13> duoi: You can.
[14:11] <cfhowlett> kengot, no 11.04 LTS.  and 11.04 is end of life
[14:11] <juniorsa> gordonjcp: yes I did from howtoforge
[14:11] <kengot> Yes, sorry
[14:11] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Some options: 1. Contact system administrator or some other person that is knowledgeable about the network. 2. Download the documentation from the college site (my university has such a documentation, which helped me get connected).
[14:12] <wfdnwork> user0404440: no, everyone here connect in the network using only the network password
[14:12] <fidel> kengot: LTS are 10.4 - 12.04 - and 14.04 ... so all 4 releases/2 years
[14:12] <duoi> usr13: any specific way how?
[14:12] <gordonjcp> juniorsa: right, first hit on Google?
[14:12] <juniorsa> gordonjcp: yes
[14:12] <usr13> duoi: mplayer video1.mpg  #In one terminal   mpalyer video2.mpg  #In another, or you can use the "run" command, Alt-F2
[14:12] <juniorsa> gordonjcp: all the suggestions are to switch from socket to tcp is that what you would do?
[14:12] <kengot> yes, I ment 12.04 over 10.4
[14:12] <duoi> usr13 thanks!
[14:12] <usr13> NP
[14:13] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Odd. You could try a live CD from another distro to see if it works.
[14:13] <fidel> kengot: in general - yes you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04
[14:13] <cfhowlett> kengot, some reason you don't install 12.04?
[14:13] <kengot> just run the iso disk?
[14:13] <gordonjcp> juniorsa: that's what it recommends in the howtoforge article...
[14:14] <kengot> Was running 12.04 but can't get my Canon MP280 printer to run with it
[14:14] <duoi> one more question! on a multimonitor set up, when running full screen videos from firefox, is there a way to specify which screen it plays on? as of this moment if i go full screen on an external monitor it'd shift it to the main monitor.
[14:14] <juniorsa> gordonjcp: I just went to the nginx channel and they suggested I stay with sockets but I can't get it to work - tcp works
[14:14] <wfdnwork> user0404440: ubuntu live cd have sup to wifi?
[14:14] <wfdnwork> user0404440: support*
[14:15] <XXX> Hi, I'm gonna install Ubuntu on a MacBook. Should I use the alternative iso for Macintosh computers or stick with the 64 bit iso?
[14:15] <XXX> wfdnwork: yeah, if the drivers isn't proprietary
[14:15] <kengot> fidal: terminal command to upgrade?
[14:15] <RAHUL_CH> hello....
[14:15] <usr13> wfdnwork: Yes
[14:15] <RAHUL_CH> user13
[14:15] <cfhowlett> !mac|XXX,
[14:15] <XXX> kengot: apt-get upgrade
[14:16] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: Yes?
[14:16] <kengot> tnx
[14:16] <RAHUL_CH> later on if i need to uninstall ubuntu  wihtout getting harm to win 7 like clean uninstall
[14:16] <RAHUL_CH> wht i need to do..
[14:17] <XXX> cfhowlett: doesnt answer my questio, actually
[14:18] <adamk> duoi: It's going to go fullscreen on which ever monitor is considered primary.  You'd have to change the primary monitor.
[14:18] <wfdnwork> user0404440, XXX : do you know about the open source driver, if it have good compability?
[14:18] <user0404440> wfdnwork: I don't know much about the internals of Wifi on Ubuntu/Linux.
[14:19] <duoi> adamk is there a command to shift the current open window to the next monitor?
[14:19] <XXX> wfdnwork: yeah, it's works perfectly
[14:19] <adamk> duoi: I don't believe so.
[14:19] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: Delete the partitions you created for Ubuntu, expand the MS Windows ones (back to their original size(s) in order to use all of the available space), and then run he MS Windows tool to re-install the MS Windows bootloader.
[14:19] <nettie> hi guys, I'm playng with grub-mkconfig on Precis. It generates a config with "set root=(hd0,msdos1)" when I would like it to generate (hd0,0) instead. I'm doing the best to avoid hand editing files but I was unable to pass the right switch to fix it. I need it to be hd0 becasue pv-grub does not understand msdos1 and update-grub-legacy-ec2 generates the config from grub.conf which is generated by grub-mkconfig. Any idea? thanks.
[14:19] <XXX> if your network card is supported, wfdnwork
[14:20] <user0404440> xubuntu_ cfhowlett: Just tried it with a bootable USB installer created on Windows using Unetbootin 585. The same exact problem showed up.
[14:20] <kengot> fidal: Thanx to you and everyone for the help, peace...
 ohh
[14:20] <cfhowlett> user0404440, this is ubuntu 12.04 or  ... ?
[14:20] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Do you know what brand and model of wifi adapter you have?
[14:20] <wfdnwork> user0404440: sorry, i dont know
[14:21] <RAHUL_CH> i can delete  using parititon wizard  and later on i should merge with some other drive..rit??
[14:21] <user0404440> cfhowlett: ubuntu-13.04-server-amd64.iso
[14:21] <xubuntu_> user0404440: man, i strongly suggest you to burn a cd.
[14:21] <user0404440> wfdnwork: Open a terminal and enter and run: lspci
[14:21] <xubuntu_> user0404440: usb for install doesn't work allways
[14:21] <luciguy> Hello
[14:22] <cfhowlett> user0404440, CD is my suggestion as well.
[14:22] <cfhowlett> luciguy, greetings
[14:22] <luciguy> Is anyone there?
[14:22] <clue_h> yes
[14:22] <cfhowlett> luciguy, *greetings*
[14:22] <XXX> luciguy: yea
[14:23] <user0404440> I feel wasteful for burning something to a CD that I'll only use once, but alright, I'll give it a shot. I should have some writable CDs somewhere.
[14:23] <xubuntu_> user0404440: just one question, have you enable boot from usb, right?
[14:23] <clue_h> user0404440, i've had trouble with usb installs after getting everything ready. the cd option seems to always work
[14:23] <RAHUL_CH> whts ms windows tool and wht i need to reinstall.. i didint get..!!
[14:23] <BluesKaj> user0404440, next time buy some cdrws
[14:23] <xubuntu_> user0404440: in your bios
[14:23] <wfdnwork> user0404440: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036774/
[14:23] <ServerTech> I just installed Luna, but no resolution over 1024x768 is being shown. Using Intel internal graphics adapter, GMA xxx.  How do I get it to support larger resolutions (I know the monitor supports 1280x1024 5:4)
[14:24] <ServerTech> ubuntu 13.04*
[14:24] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, for help with windows install ask ##windows
[14:24] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: I said it in the reverse order.  You would first boot to MS Windows, reinstall the bootloader and then delete / change partition sizes using a non-destructive partition manager, (like gparted).  And I *think* the Win7 command to restore the bootloader is bootrec /fixmbr
[14:24] <burg> hello. what backup software is good for ubuntu server 12.04 ? i want to backup a folder daily
[14:24] <Marlenee> how to search for file name or filetype like .txt using grep  ?/
[14:24] <XXX> ServerTech: how is the open source driver then? tested it?
 i m asking abt clean uninstall of ubuntu wihtout harming windows
[14:24] <cfhowlett> burg, rsync seems pretty popular
[14:25] <user0404440> wfdnwork: 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[14:25] <xubuntu_> Marlenee: better using find
[14:25] <user0404440> That's the relevant part.
[14:25] <user0404440> Because that is your WiFi adapter.
[14:25] <burg> cfhowlett, does it allow incremental backup?
[14:25] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, install virtualbox in windows.   put ubuntu in virtualbox.   ubuntu will never touch your HDD except as a windows app.  don't like it, delete it.  done.
[14:25] <usr13> cfhowlett: I think is question is just theoretical
[14:25] <XXX> Marlenee: ls -1 | grep -e '\.txt$'
[14:25] <cfhowlett> burg, as I understand it, yes.  but ask in the channel for more experienced advice.
[14:26] <ServerTech> XXX: I haven't made any changes to anything, so guide me through please. I try Xorg -configure and it says that the number of screens created is more than the number of devices detected.
[14:26] <burg> thank you
[14:26] <usr13> !vbox | RAHUL_CH
 thnks  got it...
[14:26] <user0404440> wfdnwork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[14:26] <wfdnwork> user0404440: thanks man! now i'm searching for related bugs with this device!
[14:26] <XXX> ServerTech:so you havent installed any drivers manually?
[14:26] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: you probably need to change the X.org config file
[14:26] <user0404440> That link I just gave you has specific instructions for installing the driver.
[14:26] <RAHUL_CH> whther virtual box will give same speed as noraml...
[14:26] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: i dont remeber the full path, google for it
[14:27] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: Yes, it will.
[14:27] <RAHUL_CH> because i used in virtual box even in vmware and even in live also
[14:27] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: It is amazing.
[14:27] <RAHUL_CH> bt all were slower dan normal boot..
[14:27] <thomrenault> I'm trying to install hfsprogs in raring ringtail, but it says unable to locate package
[14:27] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, no it will not.  but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference if you have a decent amount of ram.
[14:27] <thomrenault> I have checked universe in my software sources
[14:27] <RAHUL_CH> ohh...
[14:27] <user0404440> wfdnwork: "Install either bcmwl-kernel-source (instructions below) OR the broadcom-sta (instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/wl) packages."
[14:27] <Marlenee> xubuntu_ : find not work
[14:27] <RAHUL_CH> its 3 gb ram...only..
[14:28] <xubuntu_> Marlenee: what parameters are you using with find?
[14:28] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: 3G will do, 4G would be better....
[14:28] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, install xubuntu or lubuntu then.
[14:28] <ServerTech> XXX, no I have not installed any drivers manually. xubuntu_  I tried Xorg -configure, but it says that the number of screens created is more than the number of devices detected. Also, the full path I believe is /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  okays..
[14:28] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: what is inside your xorg.conf
[14:28] <xubuntu_> ?
[14:28] <RAHUL_CH> xubuntu and lubuntu are same as kubuntu??
[14:28] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: as cfhowlett points out, there are many different Desktop Environments and some use a lot less system resources than others.
[14:29] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: I do not have an xorg.conf, I'm trying to create one with Xorg -configure
[14:29] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: lubuntu is low on the list, unity is high.
[14:29] <_dr> hi, i just installed ubuntu 12.04 and was wondering if there was any easy way to get the O_DIRECT flag for open(2) working
[14:29] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, lubuntu and xubuntu are "lightweight" distros designed for older/low specification machines ... like a 3 gig ram inside virtualbox.
[14:29] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: Should have said lxde is low on the list and unity is high.
[14:29] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: i'm not sure this will work. you proably have a config file with another name.
[14:30] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: I use xfce
[14:30] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: I checked, there isn't.
[14:30] <RAHUL_CH> xfce..
[14:30] <RAHUL_CH> i never used...
[14:30] <bullicon> is it possible to add multiple swap to ubuntu ?
[14:30] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: xubuntu = xfce Desktop Environment
[14:30] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: what is your version of ubuntu?
[14:30] <cfhowlett> bullicon, why would you need MULTIPLE /swap?
[14:31] <zimb0> (defun should-be-constant ()
[14:31] <zimb0>   '(one two three))
[14:31] <zimb0>
[14:31] <zimb0> (let ((stuff (should-be-constant)))
[14:31] <bullicon> cfhowlett I want to increase capacity
[14:31] <FloodBot1> zimb0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:31] <zimb0>   (setf (third stuff) 'bizarre))   ; bad!
[14:31] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: 13.04. I have the same problem on Luna eOS (based on ubuntu) and chrome OS and well (chromium OS too)
[14:31] <zimb0>
[14:31] <clue_h> RAHUL_CH, i'm not sure if this is a general rule but i've found the open source graphics drivers that come with the ubuntu install are quicker too if youre worried about speed, some proprietary ones have been too noisy in the past
[14:31] <RAHUL_CH> ohh so i need to know if i m installing virtual box with linux OS wther all softwares will be work properly i mean newly
[14:31] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: I'm currently using 13.04 though
[14:31] <RAHUL_CH> 3rd party sftwares
[14:31] <Marlenee> xubuntu_ : i dont use any parameters  just find and the filename i search for
[14:31] <usr13> bullicon: It is possible to have more than one swap partition but it is much better to have one big one, (rather than two small ones).
[14:31] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, if the software came through the ubuntu software center, yes.
[14:31] <Marlenee> xubuntu_ : like that " find .csv "
[14:31] <bullicon> usr13 I had one initial small one, but can't delete it
[14:32] <RAHUL_CH> okkayzz..
[14:32] <usr13> bullicon: So just increase the size.
[14:32] <sarmad> i updated my elementary os box with kernel 3.9 from ubuntu main line kernel ppa..the problem now i am facing is my wifi is disabled at every statup however i can enable my wifi by using rfkill unblock all..help please
[14:32] <bullicon> usr13 how do I?
[14:32] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: there is a few possibilities like your graphic card driver module or xorg.config file is missing options
[14:32] <usr13> bullicon: With gparted
[14:33] <bullicon> usr13 its a server
[14:33] <usr13> bullicon:  YOu can use the install media.
[14:33] <tmmunq> just make swap files
[14:33] <bullicon> usr13 its a server not desktop
[14:33] <RAHUL_CH> suppose i need to install vlc type 3rd party from my hdd den
[14:33] <RAHUL_CH> whther it is possible..
[14:33] <RAHUL_CH> ?
[14:33] <sarmad> help please
[14:33] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: There is no xorg.conf right now. Not in the folder it should be, atleast.
[14:33] <XXX> ServerTech: just install the proprietary drivers then
[14:33] <usr13> bullicon: I keep a copy of http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php  in my brief case.
[14:33] <clue_h> vlc is available in the software center
[14:34] <bullicon> usr13 good move.
[14:34] <RAHUL_CH> ya.. but der will be many sftwrs which wont available..
[14:34] <bullicon> how do I do this from the terminal
[14:34] <OerHeks> sarmad, join #elementary for that, it is not supported by #ubuntu
[14:34] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, choose a path.  if you want to TEST ubuntu, use virtualbox.  If you're a little braver and willing to fix thing that might break dual-boot.
[14:34] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: look inside /usr/share/X11/
[14:35] <RAHUL_CH> which will be better to install virtual box in C drive Or other drive..for no issues
[14:35] <ServerTech> XXX: proprietary drivers for? I tried installing Nvidia drivers, and GUI never worked again. I tried twice. I tried both startx and service lightdm start
[14:35] <bullicon> so basically, my second swap erased the first one.
[14:35] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: virtual box is an application that you install
[14:35] <bluefrog> !fr
[14:36] <RAHUL_CH> yupe  but if i  install in c drive current os drive it could might be slow...!!!
[14:36] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: I did, nothing there. There is no 10-monitor.conf (that's the name I think) in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d I tried creating one manually from a guide, no changes.
[14:36] <cfhowlett> RAHUL_CH, virtualbox will give you the fewest issues ...
[14:36] <zimb0> proprietary! oh my goodness, someone call rms
[14:36] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[14:36] <clue_h> i just faxed him
[14:37] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: try this command on your terminal>> locate xorg.conf
  <cfhowlett>  hmm thanks  alot....
[14:37] <RAHUL_CH> let me try all des things ..
[14:37] <RAHUL_CH> if some issues will occur let me get back u  later...
[14:37] <Marlenee> xubuntu_ : you dont answer me
[14:38] <usr13> RAHUL_CH: Very well
[14:38] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: Nothing. Shows files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and a file called xorg.conf.d.5.gz and xorg.conf.5.gz in /usr/share/man/man5/
[14:38] <xubuntu_> Marlenee: find / -name 'bla.txt'
[14:38] <zimb0>  rm -rf ~
[14:39] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: maybe ubuntu fucked with xorg and changed names. i'm not sure
[14:39] <cfhowlett> !ops|zimb0
 :)\
[14:39] <Pricey> zimb0: if you're going to stay here, please be helpful :-)
[14:39] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: I tried in three different operating systems, ubuntu 13.04, Luna eOS (basically ubuntu) and chrome OS
[14:40] <zimb0> yes boss, sorry boss
[14:40] <usr13> Marlenee: To incorporate a wildcard character, you'll need to put it in quotes, like so:  find . -name "*txt"
[14:40] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: in all 3 you got the same behavior?
[14:41] <usr13> Marlenee: But if it is in only one directory, just use ls Like so:  ls Documents/*txt
[14:41] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: Yep
[14:42] <genii> zimb0: Don't issue dangerous commands into the open channel. Some people will just type what they see into their console sometimes.
[14:42] <ServerTech> I just changed it to 1280x1024 successfully xubuntu_ XXX, someone helped me on a different channel, used xrandr, it's temp I believe
[14:42] <usr13> Marlenee: There is also locate.  Like so:   locate *txt
[14:42]  * cfhowlett ... thinks that people who publicize malicious commands should be banned ...
[14:42] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: yes, i think its tmp
[14:43] <Marlenee> usr13 : i know locate but it find all file name located on the OS
[14:43] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: maybe this works out>> The xorg.conf does not exist by default any more. You CAN create one though.
[14:43] <xubuntu_> Boot into recovery mode and select Root Shell. Then run:
[14:43] <xubuntu_> X -configure
[14:43] <xubuntu_> Then:
[14:43] <xubuntu_> cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:43] <xubuntu_> Reboot and you can edit the new Xorg.conf.
[14:43] <FloodBot1> xubuntu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:44] <genii> !xorgconf | ServerTech
[14:44] <usr13> Marlenee: Yea, find will let you start at a particular directory and go from there.
[14:44] <Marlenee> i mean search for file name and filetype like .txt .pdf something like that
[14:44] <Marlenee> usr13 : you right
[14:44] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: maybe this works out
[14:44] <usr13> Marlenee: You can also pipe to grep to refine
[14:45] <clue_h> Marlenee, locate -b "filename.pdf"
[14:45] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: http://pastebin.com/sw5HaSSv
[14:46] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: I've been telling you that I've tried that several times, and it gives the error I mentioned, remember?
[14:46] <Jansen123> Eagleman
[14:46] <usr13> Marlenee: Like:  find Documents/ -name  "*.txt" |grep -i readme  or  locate txt |grep README
[14:47] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: have you followed all the steps?
[14:47] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: so show up the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:47] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: Yep, but I use the command Xorg -configure and not X -configure
[14:48] <ServerTech> It gives a fatal error in the process and halts, NOT creating the ilfe xubuntu_
[14:48] <ServerTech> file*
[14:49] <Marlenee> usr13 :  i have folder that folder contains random files like pdf txt mp4 conf - the question is how to find the any file name that has in his name txt or and thing i define
[14:49] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: try as root
[14:50] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: tried with root as well as with sudo
[14:50] <ServerTech> It doesn't work without root anyway
[14:51] <hyades> hey, is there difference between Gio modules in 12.04 and 12.10??
[14:51] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: do you have the file ~/.config/monitors.xml ?
[14:51] <hyades> I am refering to http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ubuntu-12.10/python/Gio-2.0.html
[14:51] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: No
[14:52] <usr13> Marlenee: find Documents/ -name "*txt*" |grep Documents ; find Documents/ -name "*pdf" |grep Documents/ ; find Documents/ "*mp4" |grep Documents/
[14:52] <t0ken> Hello all, I've add a 'dns-search' config line to /etc/network/interfaces, how do I make it active, i.e. how do I get that to show up in /etc/resolv.conf without editing it manually?
[14:52] <t0ken> sudo service networking restart didn't seem to do it
[14:52] <Marlenee> usr13 : thanks
[14:53] <usr13> Marlenee: locate pdf txt mp4 |grep Docuemtns/
[14:54] <usr13> preceeded by sudo updatedb
[14:55] <usr13> Marlenee: oh you said just txt.  So:  locate txt |grep Documents/
[14:55] <hyades> is this correct place to ask about Gio modules???
[14:55] <usr13> Marlenee: Or:   find Documents/ "*txt" |grep Documents/
[14:56] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: No, I don't have that file
[14:56] <usr13> Marlenee: If you are already in the Documents directory:  find . "*txt" |grep Documents/
[14:56] <usr13> Marlenee: Correction:  find . -name "*txt" |grep Documents/
[14:56] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: man this is weird
[14:57] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: once i have a similar problem with debian
[14:57] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: but after creating the file everhing works out
[14:57] <Marlenee> usr13 : i have problems with Inodes
[14:57] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: why dont you create the file by hand?
[14:58] <usr13> Marlenee: compare df to df -i
[14:59] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: Simply because I don't know how to, if there is a guide, I can yea. Even if it doesn't work out, xrandr does the job and I don't reboot very often so, I don't think it's much of a problem for me, just a little annoying.
[15:00] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: ok, i will send you a model
[15:00] <Marlenee> usr13 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036865/
[15:00] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: That would be great :D
[15:01] <owlbread> ~user0404440:
[15:02] <usr13> Marlenee: What does df say?
[15:02] <usr13> Marlenee: df | pastebinit
[15:03] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: maybe this post will help you http://samuelmartin.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/enabling-resolutions-in-ubuntu-12-04-lubuntu-12-04/
[15:03] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: Ubuntu have a strange way to deal with xorg
[15:04] <ServerTech> I found a way to make xrandr changes persistent on the ubuntu wiki xubuntu_ , I'll try all of this.
[15:04] <ServerTech> Thanks for the time xubuntu_ , and you too XXX.
[15:04] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: what have you done?
[15:04] <XXX> :)
[15:05] <Marlenee> usr13 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036865/   ...
[15:06] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: http://goo.gl/f9XCKB
[15:06] <Marlenee> sorry
[15:06] <usr13> Marlenee: That is the same one you gave me last time, (df -i)  What does df say?
[15:06] <Marlenee> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036886/ that is the right
[15:07] <Marlenee> and this when i try to install any programme - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036885/
[15:07] <usr13> Marlenee: apt-get -f install
[15:07] <xubuntu_> ServerTech:There are two disadvantages to using .xprofile for xrandr settings. First, it occurs fairly late in the startup process, so you'll see some resolution resizing during the initial screen draw; in some cases panel windows may resize improperly as a result. Second, as this is a per-user setting, it won't affect the resolutions of other users, nor will it alter the resolution on the login screen.
[15:08] <usr13> Marlenee: sudo apt-get -f install
[15:08] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: but good tip
[15:08] <Marlenee> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036885/
[15:09] <fengqiang> hello
[15:09] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: Yea, I know that. I do have a problem, my monitor for some reason isn't auto-adjusting the res 1280x1024 and I
[15:10] <ServerTech> xubuntu_: am manually doing it :( So I guess xrandr persistence won't do
[15:11] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: well i'm gonna to luch now. but i think that dig a litle depper in xorg is the best options
[15:11] <ServerTech> Thanks again xubuntu_
[15:11] <xubuntu_> ServerTech: np :D
[15:12] <user258467> Hi, I am on ubuntu and I don't see any icons on my Desktop whereas I have in it directory
[15:13] <Marlenee> usr13 : sorry what i miss  ??
[15:13] <Marlenee> connection lost
[15:14] <clue_h> user258467, thats normal to begin with
[15:14] <BluesKaj> Sicno, how's the install going ?
[15:14] <user258467> clue_h, How do I display it?
[15:15] <clue_h> user258467,  in some cases you can drag the program to the desktop from hud, never tried myself as there may be permission issues
[15:15] <usr13> Marlenee: NOthing, I had to leave too.  But just pastebin the output of df  (Let's solve one problem at a time.)
[15:17] <usr13> Marlenee: But you seem to also have a problem with multiarch You might try dpkg-reconfigure multiarch-support
[15:18] <Sicno> BluesKaj: I tried to install inside windows first and I got the same errors, now it's time over, I must deliver the pc. It's not mine, it's an old lady's pc that got wiped out of everything on her windows partition, probably got infected. Wanted to install ubuntu on it since it would supply all her needs and would be more secure
[15:18] <Marlenee> usr13 : check that : /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: multiarch-support is broken or not fully installed
[15:19] <BluesKaj> Sicno, were trying to install inside a VB , you can't install from windows
[15:19] <Sicno> if I had more time I would have tried making the proper partition and installing ubuntu on it as it should really be
[15:20] <usr13> Marlenee: Instal it then.
[15:20] <usr13> Marlenee: sudo apt-get install multiarch-support
[15:20] <BluesKaj> absolutely , a dedicated partition is the only way to go , Sicno
[15:20] <Sicno> which I would have done if I had more time  ._.
[15:21] <Sicno> that was the next thing I would have tried
[15:21] <BluesKaj> Sicno, what's point of returning a pc that's broken ?
[15:21] <zorg24> What's the best way to reformat an sd for my phone on ubuntu?
[15:21] <blazemore> zorg24: use the Disk utility included with Ubuntu
[15:21] <gordonjcp> zorg24: depends what format you want to use
[15:21] <blazemore> zorg24: format it as FAT32
[15:22] <CountryfiedLinux> Here's a good theme option for the next Ubuntu release http://img.flashtux.org/upload/img1332c0c29fe3x34ed3902.png
[15:22] <zorg24> thanks blazemore
[15:22] <usr13> Marlenee: and if that didn't work, try:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall multiarch-support
[15:22] <BluesKaj> zorg24, actaully ntfs is better
[15:23] <usr13> Marlenee: If that fixes it, do;  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:23] <zorg24> BluesKaj, no its not I'm using it in an android phone...
[15:24] <genii> BluesKaj: Most Android phones won't recognize NTFS on the sdcard
[15:24] <zorg24> blazemore, there's only an option for FAT not FAT32 will that work?
[15:24] <BluesKaj> genii, zorg24 , really ..now that's really dumb , and strange
[15:24] <Marlenee> usr13 : its same error in every apt-get -   http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036951/
[15:25] <Marlenee> and this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6036956/
[15:25] <Sicno> BluesKaj: it's not really broken... I restored windows on it with an utility HP included on the boot of the pc (it has an alternate partition with the image to re-install windows with factory settings and default programs). She can use her pc right as before, what I wanted to do was make her jump to ubuntu to avoid having a security vulnerability exploited (which is very likely what happened) again
[15:25] <BluesKaj> hmm, there's another strike against androids
[15:26] <BluesKaj> Sicno, good to hear :)
[15:28] <Sicno> hmmm... now I got an idea... I think I'll take the pc to her home and make her try the free tour in-browser and if she likes it I can go later to try and install it  :)
[15:28] <blazemore> Sicno: The "free tour" is just a silly advert mockup
[15:28] <usr13> Marlenee: Did you try the reinstall switch?
[15:28] <Sicno> but it may give her an idea about what to expect
[15:29] <blazemore> No I only like them when they're in their sockets. Just eyes on their own would be kinda creepy
[15:29] <blazemore> OK if you're running an IM client in one Screen window, and IRC in another, make sure the correct one is focussed when you're having a private conversation.
[15:29] <BluesKaj> Sicno, good idea
[15:30] <Marlenee> usr13 : no tell me that
[15:32] <usr13> Marlenee: and if that didn't work, try:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall multiarch-support
[15:34] <usr13> Marlenee: cat /etc/issue   #Tell us what that says.
[15:34] <BabsSeed> Hey all, trying to install Ubuntu on a HP Pro 3505 workstation with an AMD Radeon APU. The CD just boots me to a black screen whether I pick Try, install or OEM install. Have tried adding nomodeset to kernel line. Any ideas?
[15:34] <Marlenee> usr13 : same error
[15:34] <BabsSeed> Verso is 13.04
[15:34] <Marlenee> Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l
[15:34] <bilel> hi, I was successfully running windows 8 side to side with ubuntu thanks to grub, until now, I've replaced ubuntu 12.04 with ubuntu 13.04, but then I couldn't see the grub menu during computer boot, so I ran boot repair (that's what I had done to get it to work with 12.0
[15:35] <kyle___> Is there some trick to installing 13.04 with ext3 on an EFI system?  If I do automatic partitioning,everything works.   Turn the computer off, hold Shift, and turn it on. Don't let go of shift until you see Grub, or Ubuntu start to boot
[15:36] <usr13> Marlenee: http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies
[15:36] <bilel> blazemore: ok, is this only for the first time or I'll have to do this each time I want to boot ubuntu instead of windows?
[15:36] <blazemore> oh right I see your issue
[15:37] <MEDWARDS> I'm trying to get Pam-radius working on ubuntu ver 13.04 and 12.04.02. Can anyone assist me?

[15:38] <clue_h> Hi!
[15:39] <sedki> Is there anyone ?
[15:39] <sedki> quit
[15:39] <clue_h> wow, how fast do people expect this to be
[15:39] <g105b> I've just let Ubuntu install itself automatically (no settings changed) but it won't boot. I've noticed the auto process has created an EFI partition, which is something I've never seen before. Should I install again, but install everything into the same partition? -- Do I _need_ an EFI partition (this is msata plugged directly into PCI)
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> clue_h  conversations go faster in social channels
[15:40] <blazemore> g105b: Let's focus on "won't boot" which seems to be the problem in hand
[15:40] <bilel> blazemore: I've already done this but I was in the actual ubuntu os, not in a live session, is it mandatory to run boot repair from a live session?
[15:40] <blazemore> bilel: No, but it's usual
[15:41] <clue_h> g105b, did you completely format the drive first, also removing the mbr
[15:41] <g105b> clue_h: yes I did.
[15:41] <g105b> blazemore: There is no boot device detected
[15:41] <blazemore> g105b: Do you have more than one hard drive in your computer?
[15:41] <bilel> blazemore: because when I boot and the usb live key is put on, I can press ESC, then "exit" in the grub command line, and then I can pick up ubuntu in a list, well anyway, I'll try the hold SHIFT thing, thx
[15:42] <blazemore> yes bilel but what's happened is you don't have grub
[15:42] <blazemore> fine suit yourself
[15:42] <g105b> blazemore: I do not.
[15:42] <bullicon> I suppose when a system has swap available, out-of-memory killer doesn't kill process right ?
[15:43] <bullicon> but doest not stop the system from running slowly?
[15:43] <Slart> bullicon: I kind of would expect it to use all the swap before killing the process.. isn't that the purpose of swap?
[15:44] <wolffff> hi guys, just formated my drive, havnt put it in the fstab, trying to access the drive through the desktop, getting this error : Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/adriaan/Toshiba 1TB: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/adriaan/Toshiba 1TB"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

[15:44] <wolffff> read-only with the 'ro' mount option.
[15:44] <bullicon> Slart ok, true.
[15:45] <bullicon> Slart just worried that swap is not the best option, cos OOM kills hungry processes, such that new process can run optimally
[15:46] <bullicon> Slart I'd like only certain processes to use swapped memory.
[15:46] <Slart> bullicon: if you have wild processes you might want to look into limiting memory/process time.. there are functions for doing this but I don't recall what they are called at the moment
[15:46] <blazemore> wolffff: Do you have a Windows system available?
[15:46] <bullicon> Slart what is the behaviour when I limit memory/process time
[15:46] <bullicon> does it kill the process or sleeps it ?
[15:46] <wolffff> blazemore , nope. this is a clean disk
[15:47] <Slart> bullicon: I think the process just doesn't get any more memory.. ie it gets the out of memory error but the computer keeps working as normal
[15:47] <BabsSeed> Posting again for clarity: Trying to install 13.04 from a known working disc. Installed at home on my Phenom II without a problem. Am now trying to install at work (CEO personally OK'd this). I get given a menu with 'Try Ubuntu without installing', 'Install Ubuntu', 'OEM install' and 'Check disc for defects' instead of a purple splash. Choosing any of the first 3 options gives me a black screen, ctrl-alt-del
[15:47] <BabsSeed> does not reboot & have to hard reboot. Anyone else had this issue and how did you solve it?
[15:47] <Slart> bullicon: ulimit is what I was talking about
[15:47] <blazemore> wolffff: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs -y && sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
[15:47] <bullicon> Slart and resumes when there is enough memory for it to consume ?
[15:47] <tcb^ll3r> I'm having some troubles w Ubuntu on a laptop. Any tips on debugging?
[15:48] <Slart> bullicon: I don't think so but I haven't really played around with it
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> tcb^ll3r  start with some more details
[15:48] <bullicon> Slart thanks
[15:48] <wolffff> thanks blazemore!!
[15:48] <blazemore> wolffff: more info http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-corrupted-windows-ntfs-filesystem-ubuntu/
[15:48] <wolffff> thank you!
[15:49] <Slart> bullicon: you're welcome.. hope ulimit works for you
[15:49] <tcb^ll3r> MonkeyDust: well, i checked syslog, and didn't see anything, but I have been getting CPU hangups
[15:49] <bullicon> Slart looking into it.
[15:49] <tcb^ll3r> MonkeyDust: its a Dell
[15:49] <g105b> Is an EFI partition required for booting off an MSATA plugged into PCI?
[15:50] <john_doe_jr> test
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> tcb^ll3r  what ubuntu version, any error messages?
[15:50] <daftykins> g105b: depends on the system, whether it uses a UEFI or legacy BIOS. typically you need the disk to be GPT and have an EFI partition if it's going to UEFI boot
[15:51] <tirengarfio> where are the font files I have in inkscape?
[15:51] <Marlenee> usr13 : see that - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6037033/
[15:51] <Marlenee> usr13 : can i resize inodes
[15:51] <g105b> daftykins: The machine's bios states it supports UEFI and legacy. Would it be a good idea for me to install onto 1 single partition?
[15:52] <tcb^ll3r> MonkeyDust: 12.04 32bit, on Dell studio-1569, no errors that I can see, but it crashed last night.
[15:52] <BabsSeed> Was hoping for a little more assistance. I could get this on 500 PCs over the next week if I can get it installed...
[15:52] <daftykins> g105b: assuming your mSATA (SSD?) is blank, you can tell it to just erase and use the whole drive. it really depends how you're going to use it. just ubuntu 13.04 on its' own?
[15:53] <tcb^ll3r> MonkeyDust: is there an error log besides syslog?
[15:53] <BabsSeed> Posting again for clarity: Trying to install 13.04 from a known working disc. Installed at home on my Phenom II without a problem. Am now trying to install at work (CEO personally OK'd this). I get given a menu with 'Try Ubuntu without installing', 'Install Ubuntu', 'OEM install' and 'Check disc for defects' instead of a purple splash. Choosing any of the first 3 options gives me a black screen, ctrl-alt-del
[15:53] <blazemore> BabsSeed: It depends on the PC in question, does it have a make and model? Have you tried checking the disk for defects using the relevant menu option?
[15:53] <BabsSeed> does not reboot & have to hard reboot. Anyone else had this issue and how did you solve it?
[15:53] <g105b> daftykins: yeah... just keepin' it simple - but the automatic installed ssd fails to be detected as boot device.
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> !details | tcb^ll3r let me put it this way
[15:53] <BabsSeed> blazemore: Using 'Check disc for defaults' does the same as the other 3 options: black screen.
[15:53] <clue_h> BabsSeed, try minimal install cd, it goes directly to install options instead of the desktop
[15:53] <BabsSeed> blazemore: I know its not defective, I used it to install my home PC.
[15:54] <daftykins> g105b: are you sure you're booting in UEFI mode for installation and setting up the disk right?
[15:54] <Slart> BabsSeed: black screen on boot up is a pretty common problem.. could be lots of things and it's hard to trouble-shoot when the system crashes.. have you tried adding noacpi noapic and such to the kernel boot parameters?
[15:54] <daftykins> !uefi | g105b
[15:54] <daftykins> g105b: have a look at the above for some more info ^
[15:54] <BabsSeed> Slart: Have tried nomodeset, haven't tried others.
[15:54] <g105b> daftykins: thanks
[15:54] <blazemore> BabsSeed: Have you tried waiting? It could be the splash screen isn't displaying for some reason. Perhaps you'll be greeted with the installer if you give it a few minutes of being blank
[15:55] <blazemore> BabsSeed: Don't forget the LiveCD takes a relatively long time to boot compared to a real system
[15:56] <Marlenee> usr13 : can i resize inodes
[15:57] <Slart> bullicon: cgroups seems like a promising feature as well.. not sure if that's something you can actually get to as a user or if it's intended for kernel use only.. might be worth reading up on though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups
[15:57] <BabsSeed> blazemore: I'll try 5 mins, just to confirm pressing e, editing kernel line then pressing F10 applies the changes before booting right?
[15:57] <blazemore> How do I append to the start of a file in bash (like how > appends to the end)
[15:57] <blazemore> BabsSeed: correct
[15:58] <Anonynimity> Hello. I really need some help to fix my computers graphics display manager.
[15:58] <tcb^ll3r> Is there an error log I can access? It crashes, so i'm not getting any info!
[15:58] <bilel> hi, when running boot repair a message told me I had a buggy kernel (http://paste.ubuntu.com/6037037/), how can I fix this? I have a fresh ubuntu 13.04 x64 install from a live usb key.
[15:58] <blazemore> tcb^ll3r: what crashes?
[15:58] <Anonynimity> I get an error similar to the effect of: "running in low graphics mode."
[15:58] <tcb^ll3r> blazemore: This laptop crashes. I need to find error log to diagnose
[15:59] <tcb^ll3r> blazemore: ubuntu obviously (12.04)
[15:59] <somewad> How do I check my write speeds of RAID 0 ?
[15:59] <BabsSeed> blazemore: > doesn't append, it overwrites. >> appends.
[15:59] <blazemore> !details | tcb^ll3r what do you mean by crashes?
[15:59] <bullicon> Slart I would have thought the kernel comes with something like this.
[15:59] <Anonynimity> I installed the gnome3 ppa and the gnome3-(something or other)
[15:59] <bullicon> Slart if users have groups, why shouldn't processes ?
[15:59] <somewad> How do I check my write speeds of RAID 0 ?
[15:59] <bullicon> line of thought
[15:59] <john_doe_jr> I need to compile and build a specific version of a program…how would I go about doing that?
[15:59] <blazemore> BabsSeed: Yes that's what I meant but the most important thing is it puts the new stuff at the start of the file not the end
[15:59] <Slart> bullicon: afaik it does.. that hard part is interfacing with all the features =)
[15:59] <Anonynimity> then I did a dist-upgrade. after that, my gdm was broken and I'm wondering what I need to do to fix this.... please, someone help
[16:00] <blazemore> john_doe_jr: Download the source code for that version of the program, and follow the developers' instructions to build it
[16:00] <bullicon> Slart all the features in what sense/
[16:00] <somewad> How do I check my write speeds of RAID 0 ?
[16:00] <bullicon> ?
[16:00] <tcb^ll3r> I give up. If there is no error log, then I can't fix it
[16:00] <BabsSeed> blazemore: Hacky solution but works:
[16:00] <Slart> bullicon: I mean, there are lots of features in the kernel.. but not everything is easily accessible from a regular user
[16:00] <BabsSeed> echo "NewText" | cat - oldfile > /tmp/out && mv /tmp/out oldfile
[16:00] <john_doe_jr> blazemore: see I need I need ffmpeg version N-39951-g601d072
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> tcb^ll3r  we need to knwo *what* crashes and when
[16:00] <RoyK> somewad: something like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/raid/somefile conv=sync"
[16:01] <RoyK> somewad: something like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/raid/somefile conv=sync'
[16:01] <tcb^ll3r> MonkeyDust: the whole system, whenever it wants. I see no error in syslog
[16:01] <Slart> bullicon: ulimit is available by default, I think.. it seems cgroups has been included in the kernel for quite a while but there might not be a simple front-end to configure it with
[16:01] <blazemore> tcb^ll3r: You're doing the equivelant of going to the doctor and refusing to provide any information other than "I'm sick"
[16:01] <bullicon> Slart I see what you mean.
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> tcb^ll3r  that's too vague, describe what happens. is it during boot, during logging, while you are doing something?
[16:02] <BabsSeed> blazemore: Still getting this black screen, will try the minimal CD tomorrow
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> login, not logging*
[16:02] <RoyK> somewad: erm - more like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/raid/somefile bs=1M count=1k conv=sync'
[16:03] <RoyK> somewad: that'll create a 1GB file and use O_SYNC to force the file being synced before dd returns
[16:03] <tcb^ll3r> MonkeyDust: blazemore I will see if I can get more info. Its just generally crashes whenever.
[16:03] <john_doe_jr> blazemore: would you do something like this: git co N-39951-g601d072 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg
[16:03] <somewad> RoyK:  Thanks mate, Ill look into it now
[16:05] <Anonynimity> I'm on ubuntu raring ringtail. I installed the gnome3 ppa, then I installed the gnome3-s... ppa. I did a apt-get update, and an apt-get upgrade. after doing this, I rebooted, and now my computer is saying "starting in low graphics mode..." can someone please please please help me fix this?
[16:06] <orianny_machado> hi!
[16:06] <bazhang> Anonynimity, the experimental PPA that has warnings with it? for gnome3.8?
[16:06] <orianny_machado> hello!
[16:06] <Anonynimity> yes... and now I need to revert
[16:06] <Anonynimity> the changes bazhang
[16:06] <gmachine_24> I'm using various versions of Ubuntu - 12.04LTS etc - I am looking for a VOIP (SIP?) program to replace Skype - I need one that also comes in Windows but perhaps that is not allowed to be asked
[16:06] <orianny_machado> help
[16:06] <blazemore> john_doe_jr: It depends on the software in question
[16:06] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | Anonynimity
[16:07] <bazhang> orianny_machado, ask the channel an actual question
[16:07] <blazemore> gmachine_24: ekiga but idk if it works in Windows
[16:07] <Anonynimity> I used the ppa-purge command but still starts in low graphics mode.
[16:07] <orianny_machado> Windows help
[16:07] <blazemore> !ot | orianny_machado
[16:07] <bazhang> orianny_machado, ##windows
[16:07] <gmachine_24> blazemore: ok I'll check it out. I'm vaguely familiar with Ekiga. I'm just sick of Skype bloat.
[16:07] <Anonynimity> I will be right back as I have to open firefox with terminal and cannot minimize it.
[16:07] <MAbeeTT> Hi!, I'm searcing for info about non-centraliced host querys in LAN network. I want the dns querys in the desktops to be solved without a "regular"central DNS, since my home network has the DHCP of the Home router.
[16:07] <orianny_machado> ok
[16:08] <orianny_machado> take
[16:08] <somewad> RoyK: It says 1.7 Gb/s...is that right ?
[16:08] <MAbeeTT> I read this article  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/76564/una  Gregorio_
[16:08] <orianny_machado> i love justin bieber
[16:08] <bazhang> MAbeeTT, try ##networking , thats not ubuntu specific
[16:08] <RoyK> somewad: seems a wee bit too high ;)
[16:08] <blazemore> orianny_machado: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[16:08] <bazhang> orianny_machado, this is the VERY wrong channel for that
[16:08] <somewad> 1.1 GB copied, 0.628049 s, 1.7 GB/s
[16:09] <somewad> Royk: 1.1 GB copied, 0.628049 s, 1.7 GB/s
[16:09] <RoyK> somewad: how many drives? what sort of drives?
[16:09] <MAbeeTT> cuack I read this article https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution, but I do not know how to announce the hostnames.
[16:09] <somewad> 2 drives, RAID 0 , 7200 rpm
[16:09] <orianny_machado> beauty and the beat
[16:09] <RoyK> somewad: then those numbers are bogus
[16:09] <bilel> blazemore: sorry to bother again, I tried to hold shift during the whole boot but I've ended up in windows, also, do you know why boot repair reports me a "buggy kernel", it's a fresh ubuntu 13.04 install (http://paste.ubuntu.com/6037037/)? thx
[16:09] <MAbeeTT> bazhang: ok, thanks, I thought there was quick answer for this.
[16:09] <RoyK> somewad: how much memory do you have? and what sort of filesystem is this?
[16:09] <anonee> somewad this is good, i used to get the same speed using 2 wd black drives
[16:10] <orianny_machado> somebody
[16:10] <orianny_machado> never say never
[16:10] <somewad> RoyK: alright , 8GB and xfs
[16:10] <blazemore> bilel: If Windows is booting and you don't see Grub, you don't have grub. I couldn't read your error
[16:10] <blazemore> !fr > bilel
[16:10] <RoyK> anonee: a 7200rpm disk can deliver something like 120MB/s if it's all sequencial
[16:10] <bazhang> orianny_machado, this is not the chat channel; #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[16:11] <RoyK> somewad: try bs=1M count=16k conv=sync
[16:11] <somewad> RoyK: Even with those speeds downloading at 30 MB/s causes them to get iowait of 30%
[16:11] <gmachine_24> what is the syntax to use --fix-missing? sudo apt-get update --fix-missing?
[16:11] <orianny_machado> bieber!!!!!!!!!!    love is new york
[16:12] <somewad> ok 16K count is taking time !
[16:12] <somewad> wtf is it ?
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> methinks orianny_machado is a bot
[16:12] <RoyK> somewad: it means "create a 16GB file"
[16:12] <RoyK> somewad: to somewhat bypass the caching done by xfs
[16:12] <somewad> Ah !
[16:13] <RoyK> bs == blocksize, count == block count, multiply those
[16:13] <somewad> Yeah i figured that mate.
[16:13] <RoyK> :)
[16:13] <orianny_machado> loosers
[16:13] <anonee> RoyK they were 2 blacks (these have a technology that the heads don't touch the surface of the disk, buffer=64MB) in raid0, i don't remember the exact speed but as far as I can remember it was around 1.something GB/s, maybe I'm wrong though, it was 2 years ago I'm not sure a lot happened since then
[16:14] <clue_h> orianny_machado, orb.
[16:14] <RoyK> anonee: I've worked with WD Blacks, they're just 7k2 drives, no magic, just an average drive (with a screwed firmware not supporting ERC)
[16:14] <somewad> RoyK: when I iostat, it says my writing kb/s is 18000, even when I do 4 wget at the same time.
[16:15] <RoyK> xfs is doing a lot of caching
[16:15] <anonee> anywayz... now I have a problem updating tor, it says W: GPG error: http://deb.torproject.org precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 74A941BA219EC810
[16:15] <somewad> If im using it for downloading with torrents xfs is good right ?
[16:16] <somewad> and damn this result is taking lot of time.
[16:16] <Sicno> ok, gotta go deliver the pc. Thanks for all the help :)
[16:16] <Sicno> (I'll leave this open)
[16:16] <orianny_machado> looserrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[16:16] <RoyK> somewad: of course it takes time - your drives aren't as fast as you thought they were ;)
[16:16] <BabsSeed> blazemore: WRT your prepending question, `sed` is the best tool for that imo. `sed -i "1iSome Text To Prepend" somefile.txt`
[16:17] <anonee> RoyK i wish I still have the screenshots btw I saved some data on a stupid twinmos ssd and now it just won't see but only 2GB, and refuses to let me upgrade the firmware... :(
[16:17] <somewad> RoyK: Hope crusher  pfft
[16:17] <anonee> RoyK it's a 256GB SSD, can't just throw it :(
[16:17] <blazemore> BabsSeed: Thanks, I ended up using a tempfile, non-atomic I know but it works in this case just fine. I like your name by the way, /join #rmlp
[16:18] <simple-bed> hi guys
[16:18] <RoyK> anonee: perhaps you could return it?
[16:18] <natherul> Hey all, I can hear my own mic all the time in my headset, any way to prevent it from playing the sound off the mic to the headset?
[16:19] <snufft> hey guys
[16:19] <somewad> why am I getting 40% i/o wait..I cant lower that number ?
[16:19] <snufft> i'm trying to run diff from the command line, but nothing happens. i run diff file1.css file2.css but it just gives me the next prompt in terminal
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> somewad: might be interesting you pastebin it to channel
[16:20] <RoyK> anonee: what sort of ssd?
[16:20] <snufft> does anyone know why it wouldn't be running, or can anyone point me in the direction of how to debug it?
[16:20] <somewad> RoyK: 34.7 MB/s
[16:20] <somewad> lotuspsychje: pastebin what ? iostat ?
[16:20] <anonee> RoyK it's twinmos, no way, I bought it from Dubai and I no longer live there, btw I tried to return it when it was still in the box but they refused, it's not just slow it's stupid, everybody (ppl who build their own ssd's) are talking about preventing this chipset (JMicron JMF602)
[16:21] <lotuspsychje> somewad: the error you having
[16:21] <somewad> im not having any error just io wait high and thus the load.
[16:22] <anonee> RoyK but I still want it, it got a usb port it's great for using as a big flash drive :D
[16:22] <somewad> and thanks to RoyK  my speed is coming to be 34.7 MB/s
[16:22] <lotuspsychje> somewad: i know there exist a package to kill processes after certain load
[16:23] <somewad> lotuspsychje: I suspect if my HDD are busted as 35 MB/s is VERY LOW
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> somewad: not sure if you can reduce io wait
[16:23] <anonee> somebody please help me with this error? W: GPG error: http://deb.torproject.org precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 74A941BA219EC810
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> somwad: you can test them with package testdisk aswell
[16:23] <HelloWorld321> in grep I'm using $ grep "[[:alpha:]]+" and I'm only getting matches that include a literal plus
[16:23] <somewad> lotuspsychje: testdisk ?
[16:23] <T4b1> anonee: The key of the ppa repo for tor is missing
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | somewad
[16:24] <anonee> I actually don't understand this error, it happened with another program too
[16:24] <MEDWARDS> if someone is able to assist me with pam-raidus could you privte message me - it's to hard to follow a response in the main window
[16:24] <anonee> yes T4b1, thank you, would you please explain to me how can I fix that?
[16:24] <somewad> Since Im on raid 0 , i dont have normal /sda shit
[16:24] <anonee> T4b1 cuz it's not the first time
[16:25] <somewad> lotuspsychje: thanks mate, ill look into it now
[16:25] <T4b1> anonee: I always forget, if you go to any ppa on launchpad it's explained how you add them, I think.
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> somewad: np
[16:25] <snufft> also, does anyone know why user defined hotkeys in 13.04 don't work after restart? if i go back into the hotkey section, they're still defined with correct mappings, but i have to re-map them for them to work again..
[16:25] <Anonynimity> Thank you sooooooo much for that! :) I am soooo happy. I have my desktop functional again. :))))))))
[16:27] <jonascj> I have compiled a new version of libvirt and installed it with "sudo make install" but it fails to start. All I can find out is that syslog contains "libvirt-bin terminated with status 6" and "libvirt-bin main proccess ended". Any suggestions as to where I might start digging?
[16:28] <linux|newb> anyone familiar with a decent end:end process for formatting pdf for comfortable kindle reading?
[16:28] <HelloWorld321> in grep I'm using $ grep "[[:alpha:]]+" and I'm only getting matches that include a literal plus.  Is this because its in quotes?  I'm actually using a much more complex regexp (http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html), so I think I sorta need the quotes.  How would I get $ grep "[[:alpha:]]+" to match items with more than one letter, as intended by +?
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> linux|newb: there are several online tools that convert pdf to epub, but its not really ubuntu related
[16:29] <linux|newb> lotuspsychje: I'm using ubuntu ;)
[16:29] <Anonynimity> you could check here for libvirt-bin

[16:29] <hack_sys> hi all
[16:29] <T4b1> anyone an idea how I could get a kind of program launcher into the systray? alltray is not what I'm searching for. What I would like is just something which can put an icon into the systray and execute a command when that icon is clicked.
[16:29] <lotuspsychje> linux|newb: so you search for an ubuntu package to convert to epub?
[16:30] <linux|newb> lotuspsychje: cheers
[16:30] <bazhang> linux|newb, check out calibre
[16:30] <linux|newb> spidla: thanks :)
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> !find epub | linux|newb
[16:31] <hack_sys> can anyone tell me which linux flavour is best??
[16:31] <Anonynimity> lol! china was hit with a DDos Attack.
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> !best | hack_sys
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> hack_sys  the one that you prefer
[16:32] <bazhang> Anonynimity, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:32] <lotuspsychje> hack_sys: ubuntu is the most popular, we recommend you install it!
[16:33] <hack_sys> ubuntu   / xubutu /lubuntu /kubuntu ??
[16:33] <anonee> I'm getting: keyserver timed out
[16:33] <hack_sys> out of this??
[16:33] <clue_h> hack_sys, ubuntu 12.04 or debian 6
[16:33] <lotuspsychje> hack_sys: depends on your needs/hardware
[16:33] <bazhang> hack_sys, try a live cd of them, dont poll here
[16:34] <anonee> does it happen often?
[16:34] <hack_sys> hmm...
[16:34] <hack_sys> no simply want to know which is light weight
[16:34] <bazhang> lubuntu hack_sys
[16:35] <HelloWorld321> I just asked bestbot, who says "the BESTEST linux is linux, because 1 people said so"
[16:35] <anonee> bazhang btw I'm wondering, why would ppl use lxde if xfce is not much bigger, a few megs maybe, and is a lot better?
[16:35] <clue_h> they're all good in their own way
[16:36] <hack_sys> whther we can install softwares in live cd?
[16:36] <bazhang> anonee, one is super lightweight, the other not
[16:36] <bazhang> hack_sys, sure, but its lost on reboot
[16:36] <jonascj> Anonynimity: I've seen that bug but they have log entries mentioning name resolution. I do not.
[16:36] <vnikil> I want a translate app?
[16:37] <anonee> bazhang you know u make me curious to try lxde on a vm or something
[16:37] <lotuspsychje> anonee: you can install lubuntu-desktop from your ubuntu aswell
[16:37] <anonee> so, room, about the keyserver timed out thingy, is it happening often or is it my ISP?
[16:37] <bazhang> vnikil, apt-cache search translate in the terminal
[16:38] <bazhang> !gpgerr | anonee this one?
[16:38] <Anonynimity> jonascj: I fixed gdm with the help of someone else.
[16:38] <Anonynimity> I had tried to install gnome3.8 but broke my gdm... someone told me how to purge the ppa
[16:39] <bazhang> Anonynimity, with ppa-purge, that may not fix it though, and that ppa has very clear warnings about such a case
[16:39] <genii> anonee: It's conceivable but unlikely that ports 389, 636, or 11370-11371 might be blocked
[16:39] <vnikil> thanks
[16:39] <Anonynimity> it fixed it bazhang. thank you...
[16:39] <anonee> lotuspsychje thanks a lot for the info, you know what? I originally installed this from within windows, as a vm, and now I'm using it in dual-boot, but I still can access it from within windows :D
[16:40] <Anonynimity> well, mostly, but now my mouse looks like a mac mouse... which I don't mind. :)
[16:40] <Anonynimity> brb
[16:40] <anonee> genii, bazhang this is it sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keys.gnupg.net  74A941BA219EC810
[16:40] <Anonynimity> gotta make me some fooodddddddddd
[16:41] <lotuspsychje> anonee: next step is loose windows once and for good and single install ubuntu :p
[16:41] <clue_h> and the final step is to use the win install cd as a place mat for cups of tea
[16:41] <HelloWorld321> How would I get $ grep "[[:alpha:]]+" to match items with more than one letter, as intended by +?
[16:42] <RoyK> HelloWorld321: IIRC the grep regex doesn't support +, so try [[:alpha:]][[:alpha:]]*
[16:42] <HelloWorld321> tx RoyK
[16:43] <wolffff> what is a good file copier for ubuntu, one which supports verifying data and pause ...like unstoppable copier ?

[16:43] <tmmunq> rsync
[16:44] <rypervenche> wolffff: rsync ftw :)
[16:44] <HelloWorld321> I've never used rsync personally, but it comes well recommended.
[16:44] <HelloWorld321> rsync is teh uber
[16:44] <anonee> lotuspsychje yeah, but you didn't get me, I can just format the windows drive now, no need to reinstall, although this ubuntu installation was done from within windows, a virtual machine using a physical drive ;)

[16:46] <yumno> Hi, I'd like to know if anyone else has this problem: Open a "Files" window, go to some folder, select some program and then click on the "files" icon. It will open a new window instead of opening the one thats open
[16:47] <yumno> its really annoying and i have no idea why its doing that
[16:47] <clue_h> yumno,  how do you do it, that didnt happen for me
[16:48] <lotuspsychje> yumno: are you on 13.04?
[16:48] <anonee> it worked!
[16:48] <yumno> lotuspsychje: yes
[16:48] <lotuspsychje> yumno: scroll on nautilus icon

[16:49] <lotuspsychje> see1: hi what can we do for you?

[16:49] <lotuspsychje> !info nginx
[16:49] <see1> it fails here everytime
[16:50] <anonee> it didn't work before because I used keys.gnupg.net instead of keyserver.ubuntu.com! OMG ubuntu! what the heck is keys.gnupg.net anyway? :D
[16:50] <yumno> lotuspsychje: that works, thanks?
[16:50] <see1> lotuspsychje: http://p.ngx.cc/0b20
[16:50] <see1> thats the msg
[16:50] <yumno> lotuspsychje: any idea why nautilus is the only program who has this error?

[16:53] <see1> lotuspsychje: any idea, what i can do?
[16:53] <yumno> lotuspsychje: I see. The problem is that when I have 1 window open, i cant just click it (because it makes it 2 windows). No other program has this fault.
[16:54] <Marlenee> how i reinstall my OS from scratch on my SSh server using CLI ??
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> yumno  use the scroll wheel to open the window, not click it
[16:54] <clue_h> yumno, may be a long shot, but have you tried edit>preferences>behaviour?
[16:55] <yumno> MonkeyDust: yeah, I know now. Im just wondering why clicking wouldnt work.
[16:55] <anonee> lotuspsychje is there a certain way that you recommend to install lxde from here? and will I be able to use the GNOME login screen by default?

[16:56] <lotuspsychje> !info lubuntu-desktop | anonee
[16:56] <tcb^ll3r> is this a kernal panic?
[16:57] <lotuspsychje> anonee: install that one and you will be able to choose gnome fallback or lubuntu
[16:57] <anonee> lotuspsychje sounds good! I'll try it :D
[16:57] <RoyK> tcb^ll3r: a [bug] is usually not a panic

[17:13] <david__> Hi, just installed 13.04 and tried to use VLC to load a DVD but get permission denied...I can see the files, but can't run them. Suggestions?
[17:13] <flipper88_fl> Whaty is the layest daily build of ubuntu?
[17:13] <flipper88_fl> ^^ latest
[17:13] <clue_h> david__, from the terminal or vlc gui?
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> flipper88_fl, I believe there are dailies for all releases technically that 3 plus the development.
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> that's
[17:14] <david__> clue_h I tried both.
[17:15] <wilee-nilee> flipper88_fl, in other words what is it you want exactly.
[17:15] <flipper88_fl> wilee-nilee: What i the code name for the dev release, As i signed up to help out on the ubuntu wine-ppa
[17:15] <wilee-nilee> flipper88_fl, 13.10 saucy salamander
[17:15] <wolffff> david , i had similiar issues, installed restricted extras through software centre and it was solved
[17:16] <flipper88_fl> thanks wilee-nilee
[17:16] <david__> wolfff, thanks, I will try that now.
[17:16] <wilee-nilee> flipper88_fl, generally release means a official release the development is called just that.
[17:20] <bashbang> !echo
[17:21] <david__> wolffff, that was it, works great. thanks again.
[17:21] <wolffff> np david__  !
[17:21] <bullicon> ok, this is silly or I am tired, trying to create a directory but getting Permission denied.
[17:22] <bullicon> the directory is group writeable
[17:22] <bullicon> and the current user is a member of the group
[17:22] <bullicon> sudo chmod -R g+rwxs <dir> should make <dir> group writable no ?
[17:23] <bullicon> stat show Access: (2775/drwxrwsr-x)
[17:23] <RoyK> bullicon: I somewhat wouldn't recommend that command :P
[17:23] <bullicon> RoyK what would you do ?
[17:23] <RoyK> bullicon: what are you trying to do?
[17:24] <bullicon> make a directory group writable.
[17:24] <bullicon> and adding a user to that group
[17:24] <RoyK> bullicon: no reason for +s
[17:24] <SubCool> can someone help me quick. im having an issue with my box. java is some how screwing up my ability to update...
[17:24] <Anonynimity> reinstall your java version?
[17:24] <SubCool> its getting stuck install icetea or something.. and refuess to complete it or remove it..
[17:24] <Anonynimity> then update??
[17:24] <RoyK> bullicon: just chown someuser:somegroup <dir> and then chmod g+w <dir> and you should be set, better chmod g+t too, to make group sticky
[17:25] <bullicon> ok
[17:25] <genii> SubCool: A pastebin of the exact errors it's giving might be useful to examine
[17:25] <VJ> hello hie..
[17:25] <VJ> all
[17:26] <bullicon> RoyK still doesn't work.
[17:26] <bullicon> Permission denied
[17:26] <bullicon> hmm, for some reason the user is no longer a member of the group
[17:27] <genii> bullicon: Perhaps you used usermod for adding the the group and gorgot to put the -a for "append"  ?
[17:27] <bullicon> sudo usermod -a -G <group> <user>
[17:28] <genii> gorgot->forgot
[17:28] <bullicon> I did ^
[17:28] <skegeek> Does 'Legacy mode' need to be on or off to dual-boot with Win8 without problems?
[17:28] <genii> bullicon: The new group will not take effect until logout-login cycle
[17:28] <bullicon> ah
[17:28] <see1> can here any1 update ngnix ``
[17:28] <see1> ?
[17:28]  * bullicon knocks my head

[17:34] <see1> ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu/dists/  precise/	03-Nov-2011 04:28 <--last update
[17:35] <bazhang> see1, contact the PPA maintainer
[17:35] <see1> how?
[17:35] <bazhang> see1, check the ppa page, and find out
[17:41] <AcidRain2012> where are the ssh server logs located?
[17:41] <HiddenCloud> C:/windows/System32
[17:42] <lotuspsychje> !ssh | AcidRain2012
[17:43] <AcidRain2012> lotuspsychje, ok, how do i get more information into the log file. like... why the connection was refused?
[17:43] <AcidRain2012> why i couldnt connect? ect...
[17:43] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: if your on a linux system check /etc/ssh/sshd_config and look for the lines SyslogFacility & LogLevel
[17:44] <SolarisBoy> those messages should go to /var/log/auth.log by default
[17:44] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, they dont... want to see the last line in my log?
[17:44] <lotuspsychje> AcidRain2012: you have openssh server running on your machine you want to connect?
[17:44] <AcidRain2012> Aug 28 12:39:01 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 CRON[5978]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 28 12:39:01 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 CRON[5978]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
[17:44] <AcidRain2012> lotuspsychje, yes
[17:45] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: those are for cron
[17:45] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: you'll be looking for ssh related messages
[17:45] <AcidRain2012> in filezilla, which i was able to connect last night and see the full filesystem. it worked. then i disconnected and reconnected and nothing happened
[17:46] <SolarisBoy> if you have access to the SSH server you can check the auth.log for a clue as to why otherwise you should ensure your client is properly configured (and retained whatever configuartion you used when it worked)
[17:46] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: ^
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> AcidRain2012: iptables or router could block?
[17:47] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, i didnt change anything.
[17:47] <AcidRain2012> lotuspsychje, ports are forwarded. and as of now, i am connecting from localhost
[17:47] <AcidRain2012> i changed NOTHING. connected. it worked. disconeccted. unable to connect to server
[17:47] <jonascj> I would like to reinstall Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I have a mirror raid with two disks and two paritions on each with md0 being sda1 and sdb1, and md1 being sda2 and sdb2. If I just make sure to untick "format" when I choose partition layout will I then keep my data on those mount points with "format" unticked?
[17:48] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: so this connection is through an existing ssh forwarded port (presumably a forwarded ssh port?)
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> jonascj: you can try ask in the #ubuntu-server channel aswell mate
[17:48] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, yes, port 22
[17:48] <jonascj> lotuspsychje: thanks
[17:48] <ccmolik> so i'm trying to mirror a repo with landscape, and I'm having an issue where "Packages" isn't getting populated in the main/binary-amd64/ dir
[17:49] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: can you access the host that you forwarded through and ensure that the port forward is still active?
[17:49] <AcidRain2012> yes. you mean in the router? ill check now
[17:49] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: should be able to ssh to whatever that is and run ~#
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> AcidRain2012: you could try nmap on yourself aswell
[17:49] <SolarisBoy> (which should make ssh print what it is forwarding)
[17:50] <AcidRain2012> the port is indeed forwarded
[17:50] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: got it
[17:51] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: and from the router to the port - are you getting any refusal? (use telnet or so)
[17:51] <AcidRain2012> telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[17:51] <SolarisBoy> whammy
[17:51] <SolarisBoy> so any port forwards using that would be affected from that point on
[17:52] <AcidRain2012> meaning?
[17:52] <SolarisBoy> you should confirm a) the ssh server is UP/OK (functional) b) there is not an intermediary blockage
[17:52] <SolarisBoy> like a ACL or fw
[17:52] <Matt_91> is possible that in my internet connection if i make a "ping" all is ok, if i make a "host" all is ok, if i go to google or facebook by https all is ok, if i try to go to a site in http the internet connection not work if i make a traceroute the packet remains on my computer
[17:52] <AcidRain2012> how do i make sure its functional?
[17:52] <ccmolik> is anyone familiar with landscape's mirroring process here?
[17:52] <AcidRain2012> i mean... it just worked last night.
[17:53] <SolarisBoy> telnet to the port generally returns headers - accessing the actual server and ensuring the process is running xyz
[17:53] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: understandable - it really means nothing in the sense that processes die - stuff happens
[17:53] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, ill restart ssh server now?
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: if you have access to the ssh server you should investigate and take the action thats neccessary
[17:54] <AcidRain2012> restarted. same issue. connection refused
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> i dont htink your getting it =)
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> in general the remote service may be down
[17:54] <xyzzymaze> jonascj: What's on those partitions? If one is boot, other than the config, I would think you'd want to write over it ...
[17:54] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, my ssh server isnt logging anything into auth.log
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> nothing local to you -
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: it shouldn't -
[17:54] <AcidRain2012> how do i make it do that? :/
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> unless your ssh server is the one your connecting to
[17:54] <AcidRain2012> i cant troubleshoot blindly
[17:54] <SolarisBoy> your right -
[17:55] <SolarisBoy> ultimately there are steps to have in place if you need to avoid things like this -
[17:55] <AcidRain2012> -.- SolarisBoy  it is my ssh server.
[17:55] <SolarisBoy> they may not always apply
[17:55] <SolarisBoy> remote access card - KVM/DRAC/ILO allows access to systems console to check stuff liek this remotely
[17:55] <AcidRain2012> my main question that may help me solve all issues. is: how do i make ssh server log EVERYTHING? and where is that file?
[17:55] <AcidRain2012> im on the machine now that is running the ssh server
[17:56] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: change the loglevel if you want more logging
[17:56] <AcidRain2012> im trying to connect to the ssh server from my machine
[17:56] <AcidRain2012> LogLevel VERBOSE
[17:56] <AcidRain2012> done
[17:56] <SolarisBoy> bounce the service
[17:56] <RoyK> what is a SolarisBoy doing at #ubuntu? ;)
[17:56] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, define 'bounce' the service?
[17:56] <genii> Also maybe run ssh client with -vvv
[17:56] <SolarisBoy> restart it
[17:56] <streusalz> RoyK: waiting for the kickt to #solaris
[17:56] <SolarisBoy> +1 genii
[17:56] <RoyK> heh
[17:56] <Frank81> AcidRain2012: bounce means often forwarding
[17:57] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, its been restarted with this option.
[17:57] <Frank81> like a bouncer for irc a bnc
[17:57] <SolarisBoy> check the logs now -
[17:57] <AcidRain2012> still nothing. if logs for ssh is at /var/log/auth.log   <--- no ssh logs there
[17:57] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: you want to check /var/log/messages likely now
[17:57] <marianne> hi guys... doing a install of 12.04 from disc -- do I need to disable UEFI on my new motherboard? just doing that last bit of research before i build
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> those would just be for authentication related messages which i initially suspected your issue was -
[17:58]  * SolarisBoy feels unwanted here now =(
[17:58] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, /var/log/messages doesnt exist
[17:58] <AcidRain2012> can i not manually set a log path in sshd_config?
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: pardon - syslog /var/log/syslog
[17:59] <SolarisBoy> it's going to just log to the standard syslog log which is preferable
[17:59] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: check syslog for kernel stuff and auth.log for authentication issues
[17:59] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, no authentication issues there. syslog contains nothing of sshd
[17:59] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: log placement varies between OSes and distros, it's rather easy to be confused
[18:00] <SolarisBoy> what i am trying to understand is what you expect to see..
[18:00] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: daemon.log?
[18:00] <AcidRain2012> auth.log: Aug 28 12:51:43 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 sudo: acidrain : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/acidrain ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/etc/init.d/ssh restart
[18:00] <AcidRain2012> thats all i got in that file
[18:00] <SolarisBoy> you said this - you accessed the service via a portforward correct?
[18:00] <SolarisBoy> so you forwarded via a remote router correct? AcidRain2012 ?
[18:00] <streusalz> AcidRain2012: just to make sure: you know the grep command?
[18:00] <vtux> hey, can someone tell me if there are any real benefits to mosh, if i'm already using byobu
[18:00] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, i accessed the service with filezilla using: localhost,acidrain,pass,22
[18:00] <SolarisBoy> and the service forwarded is what you confirmed you can't reach right?
[18:00] <SolarisBoy> yesterday right??
[18:01] <SolarisBoy> and we just tested that whatever you had forwarded was not actually reachable correct?
[18:01] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, according to filezilla, correct
[18:01] <SolarisBoy> wait - show me the command that you use to forward ports -
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> and show me the basic properties of the filezilla connection other than user/pass
[18:02] <AcidRain2012> filezilla now says: Error:	Connection refused. with no changes to sshd_config or anything else on the system. ive just been looking for log files
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> exactly it's being refused at the remote side - you need to see why..
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> it's not going to be logged locally regardless of if your port forwarding the error is not in your "service" its in your client
[18:02] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, i connect on filezilla using port 22
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> ^
[18:03] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, thats what im trying to do, is see why. but i cant find any log files at all. filezilla seems to return irrelevant errors
[18:03] <AcidRain2012> Error:	Could not connect to server <--- filezilla. on filezilla retry: Error: Connection Refused.
[18:04] <SolarisBoy> if the server is not accssible via the router it wont be via localhost.
[18:04] <SolarisBoy> you said it was forwarded through the router - and you just said you got the connection refused from the router to the service-
[18:04] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, on the router i have port forward: 22,22,22,22 sftp <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:04] <AcidRain2012> which is indeed my ip.
[18:04] <SolarisBoy> ?
[18:04] <genii> <cough-port forawrding-cough-cough>
[18:05] <SolarisBoy> oh
[18:05] <AcidRain2012> external port start, external port end, internal port start, internal port end
[18:05] <SolarisBoy> i thought you meant ssh port forwarding -
[18:05] <AcidRain2012> in sshd: Port 22
[18:05] <herbaliser> can i run fsck on software raid volume?
[18:06] <SolarisBoy> how come your forwarding a range?
[18:07] <SolarisBoy> i would imagine it would be just the port forward feature of the router not the forward range no? external:22->internal:22 (you should probably change your external port to something a little less well known)
[18:07] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, my netgear router only allows me to forward a range. lol
[18:07] <sinkensabe> anyone using springseed and knows how to add code and keeping indentation and so forth when saving?
[18:07] <SolarisBoy> dang
[18:07] <tmmunq> so forward the range /32
[18:07] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, well... ill change ports around once i get it working for sure
[18:07] <SolarisBoy> true
[18:07] <povoacao> someone have a link how to configure ubuntu 12.04 with hugepage and kvm?
[18:08] <genii> AcidRain2012: If you're trying to access this from a machine on the same side of the lan as <IP_ADDRESS> by going out to the internet facing ip, likely the router is dropping the packets because it thinks they are being spoofed as being on your lan.
[18:08] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: can you 'ssh localhost?'
[18:08] <AcidRain2012> does anyone else have any idea how to make sshd log, and where that log file is?
[18:08] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, let me try
[18:08] <SolarisBoy> i know my router has a feature to allow traffic from inside to the external interface without dropping it
[18:08] <chockey> is sshd running?
[18:08] <AcidRain2012> ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
[18:09] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: is the service running?
[18:09] <genii> SolarisBoy: Yes, "allow martians" or such, but not all routers have that
[18:09] <SolarisBoy> yea
[18:09] <AcidRain2012> ssh start/running, process 6389
[18:09] <SolarisBoy> mines is DDWRT =)
[18:09] <SolarisBoy> aka linux
[18:09] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: and your behind or in front your firewall? (sorry but im confuzled now)
[18:10] <chockey> AcidRain2012: ps aux | grep sshd
[18:10] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, no firewall setup here
[18:10] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: umm... router=fw
[18:10] <AcidRain2012> acidrain  6421  0.0  0.0   4384   812 pts/3    S+   13:07   0:00 grep --color=auto sshd
[18:10] <SolarisBoy> hmm thats not running
[18:10] <chockey> sshd is not running
[18:10] <AcidRain2012> wtf
[18:10] <AcidRain2012> why?
[18:10] <SolarisBoy> what the hek is upstart talkin
[18:10] <AcidRain2012> how do i start sshd?
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: sudo service ssh start
[18:11] <AcidRain2012> ssh start/running, process 6437
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> try the ps again
[18:11] <AcidRain2012> acidrain  6469  0.0  0.0   4384   808 pts/3    S+   13:09   0:00 grep --color=auto sshd
[18:11] <chockey> from the terminal you can try `which sshd` -p 2002 -d
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> something is killing it - you may have a error preventing startup
[18:11] <chockey> that'll start it interactively and output debug messages to stdout
[18:12] <SolarisBoy> configuration error or such -
[18:12] <chockey> your sshd config is probably messed up
[18:12] <AcidRain2012> zomg
[18:12] <SolarisBoy> like when you just edited it to change the LogLevel
[18:12] <SolarisBoy> maybe revert that -
[18:12] <AcidRain2012> hang on, how do i force uninstall of everything sshd related. i foolishly did not backup my config
[18:13] <SolarisBoy> woa
[18:13] <SolarisBoy> i mean the same way you would do any other removal apt-get purge ssh
[18:14] <SolarisBoy> but i dont think you need to do that..
[18:14] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: easy to revert just remove VERBOSE and change it back to INFO
[18:14] <AcidRain2012> unable to locate package purge. lol
[18:14] <chockey> it's probably easier to just download a default config
[18:14] <Anonynimity> how do I enable altgr in ubuntu raring?
[18:14] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: just change the VERBOSE to INFO
[18:14] <SolarisBoy> you really don't need to do what your doing you changed one line AFAIK - i just believe VERBOSE is not a valid log level
[18:15] <SolarisBoy> DEBUG is though
[18:15] <gaf> hi, I'm running ubuntu 10.04 as my desktop. am I vulnerable to any security problem? i keep updated and it seems fine
[18:15] <chockey> or just run sshd interactively, it'll probably tell you exactly what's wrong with the config
[18:15] <AcidRain2012> root      6559  6.1  0.3<PHONE_NUMBER>0 ?        Sl   13:12   0:01 gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

[18:16] <wilee-nilee> gaf yes tecnically and no support
[18:16] <petey> can anyone here help me create a symlink for chrome?
[18:16] <SolarisBoy> yea the interactive run would likely help you pin point the error
[18:16] <gaf> no, it  is lts, lucid
[18:16] <gaf> it is still suported as a server

[18:17] <AcidRain2012> this seems to be the issue
[18:17] <SolarisBoy> comment it that block and try to restart your service AcidRain2012
[18:17] <gaf> chockey, but i heard some time ago, that only the TLS 10.04 server would have support till 2015. changed?
[18:18] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, when i commented it out. and restarted. it allowed me to connect
[18:18] <SolarisBoy> check your syntax on those lines to ensure it is correct
[18:18] <chockey> gaf: Does look like what the website says, I didn't realize there were separate support cycles for desktop and server
[18:18] <AcidRain2012> but.... im trying to set it up so a user only has access over certain directories
[18:18] <SolarisBoy> i know - there may be a error in that block somewhere

[18:20] <Karan_linux> Hi anyone fix the rfkill issue that arises in linux.
[18:20] <gaf> what are the risks to have a not very strong passaword for the main user of the computer, the one that uses sudo?
[18:20] <vtux> how can I pinpoint high disk usage?
[18:20] <shark-src> hey guys. I have been trying to install libvips on ubuntu for the last 2 days..
[18:20] <shark-src> almost started to give up.
[18:21] <shark-src> the developer of lbvips says it has header tool in it but I am unable to locate it
[18:21] <chockey> AcidRain2012: What's right before the section of your config you posted?
[18:21] <wilee-nilee> gaf this is support not 50 questions on your eol
[18:21] <chockey> gaf: That someone might break it, do they have ssh access?
[18:21] <chockey> from the outside world that is
[18:21] <Karan_linux> operation not possible due to RF-Kill.
[18:21] <shark-src> can you please help me with figuring out how i locate the the location of the library in my machine.
[18:21] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: do you have the initial Subsystem line in your sshd_config before the match?
[18:21] <AcidRain2012> # See the sshd_config(5) manpage for details
[18:22] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, oh, add at end of file ;) hang on
[18:22] <chockey> AcidRain2012: sorry, the last couple non-comment lines
[18:22] <gaf> well, i log in to my desktop to the server using ssh. actually, i have ssh keys
[18:23] <SolarisBoy> then you could disable password login and be done with it =)
[18:23] <AcidRain2012> ok, it works.
[18:23] <gaf> i done it. i'm just wondering if an attacker could probe my desktop, considering the pass from the desktop is not so strong
[18:24] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: noice
[18:24] <AcidRain2012> BUT! now i want to give my user access to /var/www/, how can i do this?
[18:24] <AcidRain2012> but i ALSO want my home dir to be /home/acidrain
[18:24] <SolarisBoy> lol wow whole new worm can
[18:25] <SolarisBoy> probably putting the user in the $webuser group and making sure that folder is group owned
[18:25] <SolarisBoy> so like www-data or whatever
[18:25] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: check out setfacl :-)
[18:25] <SolarisBoy> i actually need to do that myself
[18:25] <eurythmia> ... you can use it to set group access on directories without changing the owner
[18:25] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, but! im going to be having some users that will also have access to these files. but i want them to only be able to read, not write. how can i do that?
[18:26] <shark-src> anyone?
[18:26] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: you can also use setfacl to set per-user permissions, assuming that the group/other permissions are locked down hard enough.
[18:26] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: probably want to look at the setfacl thing eurythmia just put ot htere
[18:26] <universal> any good pdf editor for ubuntu ? pdf editor with pdf printer driver like foxit phantom !
[18:27] <wilee-nilee> !pdf
[18:27] <Marlenee> i run programme in background using "&" at the end of the command but its treminated when the command i run is asking me for conforming somthing any idea
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> universal  try pdfmod or inkscape
[18:28] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: fg bring it back to foreground
[18:28] <wilee-nilee> universal there is a wiki on whats availble none really al that good
[18:29] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: jobs command lists jobs index - fg command can take argument of index number to fg a specific job - ultimately one should avoid backgrounding jobs that will require further input (eg using passwordless accss etc)
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> looks like you need to ensure your fs is mounted with the acl option to use setfacl ?
[18:33] <eurythmia>  SolarisBoy, It works ootb for me on ext4 after a fresh raring install.
[18:34] <SolarisBoy> cool thanks eurythmia
[18:35] <eurythmia> no problem :-)
[18:37] <hydruid> Hello Room
[18:37] <hydruid> Can anyone see this?
[18:37] <Marlenee> how to restore a job to background again
[18:37] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: fg command
[18:38] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: assuming you have one job in the background type "fg"
[18:38] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: if you have more than one type "jobs" gather the index of the job you want to foreground and then "fg <index#>"
[18:38] <Marlenee> SolarisBoy : i have more than 3 job running in background using "&" at end of every command
[18:39] <motaka2> hello I had a windows xp and I installed ubuntu in another drive, now I need to reinstall windows , will I loose my dear ubuntu ?
[18:39] <AcidRain2012> is there a gui tool for adding/deleting system users/groups. system-config-users is not in repos
[18:40] <TellMeWhy> motaka2, you will not lose Ubuntu if you do not wipe the drive that has Ubuntu in it.
[18:40] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: try jobs -l (atleast for zsh) it prints info on the command running - maybe that helps you know which one to operate on.
[18:40] <eurythmia> Marlenee: you can use "jobs" to figure out which one, and then get it back using "%n" where 'n' is the number of the job.
[18:41] <motaka2> TellMeWhy: I remeber the last time I did this, I had a lot of problem to have the list to choose OS in startup , but at that time I had ubuntu 8.04
[18:41] <Marlenee> i type jobs and it print nothing
[18:41] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: I know this is hardly helpful, but is there a specific reason you need a gui? the "passwd" command is pretty easy to use.
[18:41] <SolarisBoy> Marlenee: that has to be in the same terminal session you started the jobs in initially
[18:41] <RoyK> Marlenee: perhaps it forked out
[18:42] <Marlenee> i check my jobs via "ps -aux" and it run in background
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, because i just created a group called ftpusers. and when trying to add me to it sudo usermod -G ftpuser acidrain
[18:42] <Anonynimity> Festar du så festür jag
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> omg. hang on
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> nvm. it worked. left out the s
[18:42] <AcidRain2012> lulz
[18:42] <eurythmia> Marlenee: if jobs doesn't return anything, then there are no jobs running in the background. Apparently your process has quit. Try running it in the foreground and seeing if the program spits out an error message.
[18:43] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: sometimes all you need is to tell someone what's going wrong to figure it out on your own :-)
[18:44] <AcidRain2012>     ChrootDirectory /media/Server2/My_Documents   <--- what is wrong with this line? im getting the connection issue again
[18:44] <AcidRain2012> can i not forward a certain group to 1 directory
[18:47] <SolarisBoy> I think the ownership is pretty specific there you may want to look into that or check debugging to ensure there isn't a hidden permission issue AcidRain2012
[18:47] <AcidRain2012> SolarisBoy, im on it
[18:47] <SolarisBoy> AcidRain2012: look online for documentation on how perms should be setup for SSH based chrooting (i believe i recall having to set them to something before, can't remember what)
[18:47] <Ubuntivity> Hello
[18:47] <SolarisBoy> brb
[18:48] <Ubuntivity> What is the package "mysql-client-5.5" ?
[18:49] <chockey> Ubuntivity: what do you mean?
[18:49] <Ubuntivity> I mean what exactly a MySQL client? Is it needed for every system?
[18:50] <chockey> Oh, probably not. It's the client software for running queries against a MySQL server
[18:50] <Ubuntivity> So, if I don't have a MySQL server on this PC, I wouldn't need it, right?
[18:50] <chockey> correct
[18:50] <deezed> yep
[18:50] <Ubuntivity> Thanks guys, so I'll remove that package
[18:50] <chockey> well, you could connect to mysql servers on other PCs, but if you needed to do that, you would know it
[18:51] <AcidRain2012> chown -R someuser:somegroup /media/Server2/My_Documents did not do the trick. did change the group, but still get denied on logging in
[18:51] <Ubuntivity> I know I wouldn't need it :P
[18:52] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: keep in mind that the user/grou will need read access to /media and /media/Server2 otherwise they'll get EPERM
[18:52] <motaka2> Can I recover my ubuntu grub after installing windows8 ?
[18:52] <AcidRain2012> seriously? :/
[18:53] <eurythmia> ... they *may* also need execute access to those dirs, but I doubt it (they will, however, require rx on /media/Server2/My_Documents)
[18:53] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, how do i stop them from having access to all of my other drives? omg
[18:53] <IdleOne> !grub2 | motaka2
[18:53] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: seriously. The joys of Posix ;-)
[18:53] <RoyK> motaka2: yes, you start up on a live install and run grub-install /dev/sda or whatever the device name is
[18:53] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: by using ACLs insted of changing the owner/group of the directories :-)
[18:54] <motaka2> RoyK: You will be beheaded if I cant get grub back!
[18:54] <eurythmia> ... seriously, I think that ACLs are one of the best things to hapen to unix permissions since sliced bread.
[18:54] <AcidRain2012> ACLs?
[18:54] <AcidRain2012> !ACL
[18:54] <Marlenee> running screen command without any programmes run inside it it make my server slowdown - http://imagebin.org/269029
[18:54] <RoyK> motaka2: not my fault that you fscked up
[18:54] <AcidRain2012> !ACL | here
[18:55] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: ACL == Access Control List ... it's a posix extension to basic unix permissions. That's where getfacl/setfacl (that I mentioned earlier) come in :-)
[18:55] <motaka2> RoyK: Yes Yes your fault be ready go shave your neck, I want a clean neck to cut
[18:55] <AcidRain2012> zomg.
[18:55]  * RoyK wonders if motaka2 is somewhat sane or the other
[18:56] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, so i have to learn this getfacl/setfacl to avoid having to change groups on all files?
[18:56] <motaka2> RoyK: Easy man just kidding
[18:56] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: the real allure of them is that they allow a directory to be owned by a specific user/group, and you can add permissions for any other user/group without changing that.
[18:56] <Ubuntivity> Just a curious question: if I backup the bootloader using "dd if=/dev/sda of=<myfile> bs=446 count=1" then Install Windows, then restore GRUB using dd, and then update-grub, will that work as a quick (although risky) way to restore GRUB after installing Windows?
[18:57] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: yeah. Don't worry though, it's pretty simple. To add a specific user's permissions run "setfcl -m u:<uid>:rx /path" ... then to check the permissions run "getfacl /path"
[18:57] <Jordan_U> Ubuntivity: Just use grub-install to install grub.
[18:58] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: Are experienced in installing windows after installing ubuntu ? Is that too rosky ?
[18:58] <Ubuntivity> Well, surely it is the better way, Jordan_U. But theoritcally speaking: will my 'risky' method also work?
[18:58] <Jordan_U> Ubuntivity: It might or might not work, depending on many factors.
[18:58] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: I prefer to install Windows before Ubuntu, but I remember I once installed a Windows after Ubuntu and could get the GRUB restored without problems
[18:59] <DJones> Ubuntivity: Not really, because after reinstalling the original, it wouldn't know about thewindows installation, so you then have to recover it
[18:59] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, i changed group permissions on /media, /media/Server2, /media/Server2/My_Documents and got the same error as before. but im going to try what your tlaking about and see hwo it goes
[18:59] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: I want to upgrade, I dont want to loose my ubuntu
[18:59] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: You'll need a LiveCD to restore GRUB and update it to recognize Windows as well
[19:00] <motaka2> I have ubuntu 12.04 Dvd
[19:00] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, ok, if i wanted to setfacl on all files under /media/Server2/My_Documents could you give me an example?
[19:00] <AcidRain2012> i dont want rx. (which i believe x is execute)
[19:00] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: As Jordan_U said, use grub-install.
[19:01] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: Do I have access to terminal when I use ubuntu desktop on live CD ?
[19:02] <AcidRain2012> setfacl -m acidrain:ftpusers:r-- /media/Server2/My_Documents ?
[19:03] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: to give user acidrain read/write access to /media/Server2/MyDocuments : setfacl -m u:acidrain:rw /media/Server2/My_Docuements
[19:03] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: for group ftpusers: setfacl -m g:ftpusers:rw /media/Server2/My_Documents
[19:04] <AcidRain2012> and i dont need to modify sshd_config at all?
[19:04] <Ohmnivore> Hi guys, is it possible to install python 32-bit on 64-bit ubuntu?
[19:05] <AcidRain2012> eh... operation not supported
[19:05] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: for something like that it's best to make sure the directory (in this case: My_Documents) has perms: 0750, and then make sure that the files under that directory have appropriate "user" permissions.
[19:05] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: op not supported? boo! ... what filesystem are you running on?
[19:05] <AcidRain2012> ext3
[19:06] <vtux> gsd
[19:06] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: Surely you have, you can find it in program list, or simply press on Ctrl+T
[19:06] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: ah, that would do it. There may be a way to get acls supported on ext3 (by adding an option in your fstab) ... I know that ext4 supports them by default (and I use ext4)

[19:07] <AcidRain2012> RoyK,
[19:07] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: yep ... you just need to add the "acl" option to your fstab: http://wahjava.wordpress.com/2007/05/21/acls-supported-by-ext3-filesystem/
[19:07] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: Ctrl+Alt+T for terminal. Sorry :)
[19:08] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: apparently ext3 has had support for ACLs since at least 2007, it's just not enabled by default.
[19:08] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: I will do this by tomorrow
[19:08] <eurythmia> SolarisBoy: so, you were correct in regards to ext3 :-)
[19:08] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: Thanks
[19:08] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: You are welcome :)
[19:09] <OerHeks> Marlenee, what makes you think that?
[19:09] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: Are you a programmer?
[19:09] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, im scared to touch fstab. lol. my drives mount properly on 12.04 for the first time in my past 7 yrs of ubuntu experience
[19:09] <skeeterb_> I need help getting a USB 802.11N network adapter working. I tried entering it manually, but it didn't work.
[19:10] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: I'm learning Linux Command Line and Java, I'm interested in Computers in general and in Linux in particular
[19:10] <t0ken> Hello all, I've add a 'dns-search' config line to /etc/network/interfaces, how do I make it active, i.e. how do I get that to show up in /etc/resolv.conf without editing it manually?
[19:10] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: I understand. I'll give you a hint to help make it feel safer: keep an ubuntu live USB key around, and then when you change the fstab, keep the old line (just comment it out). That way if things go south, you can boot up in the live usb, mount the filesystem, and revert your fstab, easy-peasy.
[19:10] <t0ken> sudo service networking restart didn't seem to do it
[19:11] <motaka2> Ubuntivity: Cool, Are there too many jobs for programmers in ur country ?
[19:11] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, thx. lemme get all of this setup
[19:11] <Ubuntivity> motaka2: why don't you join me on #ubuntu-offtopic? We can have a nice conversation there ^_^
[19:11] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: no problem. I should be around if you get stuck.
[19:12] <skeeterb_> how do i get Ubuntu to detect my USB wireless network adapter?
[19:13] <Extreminador> guys when you install something do you change the permissions to be able to access/change some of the files ?
[19:13] <Extreminador> is that a good ideia or...
[19:13] <delinquentme> So im running grep and its matching strings in a document which arent actually there?
[19:13] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, UUID=1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183	/media/Server2	ext3	defaults,acl
[19:13] <eurythmia> Extreminador: nope ... not really a good idea.
[19:13] <AcidRain2012> is this what it should look like?
[19:13] <delinquentme> is this related to the internal database thats used in utils like locate  ?
[19:14] <eurythmia> Extreminador: is there something specific? If it's a packaging issue, you should bring it up with the package maintainer.
[19:14] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: that looks sane to me.
[19:14] <Extreminador> speaking in my particlar case about apache and the root directory the "www" how do you do ?
[19:14] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: doesn't look like much trouble
[19:14] <AcidRain2012> so now all i have to do is reboot?
[19:14] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, whats that mean? lol. 'doesnt look like much trouble'?
[19:14] <Extreminador> eurythmia do you yun the editor to change the html/php/etc files as a root ?
[19:15] <Extreminador> *run
[19:15] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: the logs don't show much errors
[19:15] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, why would they show any errors? i dont want any errors at all in my logs
[19:15] <skeeterb_> i need help detecting a USB Wireless adapter in Ubuntu
[19:15] <Whoopsie> hello
[19:15] <eurythmia> Extreminador: no, I usually use a user-sandbox, and then change the site-preferences to point there. I haven't done it in years though, so I couldn't tell you the details.
[19:15] <sideone> ifi i use vi to open all files in a directory, how can i save the current file and move to the next without quitting?
[19:15] <Whoopsie> how to open a port on ubuntu
[19:15] <Whoopsie> i can't use ufw
[19:16] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, UUID=1d112679-6e31-481f-86eb-f7ec25756183	/media/Server2	ext3	defaults,acl	0	0 <---- better?
[19:16] <Extreminador> humm not sure wht a user-sandbox is but will google
[19:16] <kriskropd> Extreminador: i think he means like a virtual machine or a linux container
[19:17] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: oops, I completely missed the '0 0' that should have been on the end. Nice catch RoyK
[19:17] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: why ext3?
[19:17] <eurythmia> Extreminador: ~/www
[19:17] <aboSamoor> I am trying to install ubuntu 13.04 on surface pro, I am not able to boot to grub, any idea?
[19:17] <eurythmia> Extreminador: basically, when you visit your webpage from localhost: http://localhost/~user/
[19:17] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, because it is an ext3 fs?
[19:17] <AcidRain2012> ..
[19:17] <Extreminador> yehh i was reading about it in wiki i guess he means to edit the page using the local page address instead the file localy
[19:18] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: as in - why not ext4?
[19:18] <Extreminador> it's not a bad idea indeed
[19:18] <kriskropd> aboSamoor: i don't know, but I'll bet it has something to do with either UEFI or corrupted boot manager
[19:18] <AcidRain2012> well.... because 5 yrs ago when i bought this drive, ext4 wasnt out yet
[19:18] <RoyK> ok
[19:18] <RoyK> np ;)
[19:18] <wilee-nilee> !uefi | abamoorSo
[19:19] <matt_TH> could anyone help me, i want to know if it's possible to delete the ubuntu desktop from ubuntu server 12.04 as i'm practicing on a virtual machine, but it can't handle the desktop..
[19:20] <eurythmia> RoyK, AcidRain2012 : apparently you can migrate a live FS from ext3 to ext4, which is awesome, but the standard disclaimer of "this may eat your files" applies.
[19:20] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, eurythmia ok, im rebooting so these changes can take effect. if something goes wrong and i lose 20+yrs of data, the data loss in on yalls hands. lol
[19:20] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: do you have backup?
[19:21] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: you have the live USB, you should be okay :-)
[19:21] <AcidRain2012> RoyK, i wish i had the money to backup such large hdds
[19:21] <aboSamoor> kriskropd: someone suggested using boot-repair, the problem it is only built for i386 arch!
[19:21] <wilee-nilee> matt_TH: you can boot to a text cli
[19:21] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: how much?
[19:21] <AcidRain2012> lol. eurythmia i have a linux backtrack laptop. ill get the live usb from there if something goes wrong
[19:21] <AcidRain2012> hmmm.... probably at least 5tb
[19:21] <eurythmia> ooh, bt is fun.
[19:22] <RoyK> AcidRain2012: crashplan.com is cheap, but rather slow :P
[19:22] <eurythmia> *whistles* ... that's a lot of data.
[19:22] <wilee-nilee> aboSamoor: bootrepair does not have that limitation
[19:22] <RoyK> eurythmia: heh - in my last job, we had something like 350TiB on ZFS ;)
[19:22] <AcidRain2012> ok, moment of truth. brb
[19:23] <aboSamoor> wilee-nilee: I can not find amd64 debian file, can you help me?
[19:23] <RoyK> avalarion: do you mean package?
[19:23] <AcidRain2012> wtf... comp wont restart. lol
[19:23] <eurythmia> RoyK: that sounds like fun. I love ZFS ... but I haven't really had a practical use for it, so I don't use it (something to do with overhead)
[19:23] <AcidRain2012> may be a sign
[19:24] <eurythmia> RoyK: also, big difference of definitions for "a lot" between work and personal ;-)
[19:24] <wilee-nilee> aboSamor: go to the boot repair wiki and read it, use a live cd to run it
[19:24]  * RoyK only has 7.4TiB for home storage
[19:25]  * eurythmia only has 1.5 TiB for home storage
[19:25] <skeeterb_> i need help detecting a USB Wireless adapter in Ubuntu
[19:25] <tmmunq> zfs looks better for a file server or a for storing backups
[19:25] <eurythmia> skeeterb_: paste lsusb and dmesg
[19:26] <JoBArTe_Skuld> hi for all
[19:26] <eurythmia> !paste | skeeterb_
[19:26] <JoBArTe_Skuld> is allowed questions here?
[19:26] <wilee-nilee> run lspci to find the wifi hardware and post it
[19:26] <AcidRain2012> omfg. acidrain is not in the sudoers file

[19:27] <XXOkocha> I am using "sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults" to try adding apache2 to start on bootup/reboot ... but it does not work
[19:27] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: you should probably fix that.
[19:27] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, how do i fix this/
[19:27] <AcidRain2012> your fstab has hax me
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> !language | AcidRain2012
[19:27] <AcidRain2012> sry
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> sr
[19:27] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: as root (you may need to get another su-doer to do this for you) visudo
[19:28] <wilee-nilee> stop it you do that all the time
[19:28] <aboSamoor> wilee-nilee: there is nothing here for amd64 https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/boot-repair/+packages
[19:28] <XXOkocha> Any Idea? No log in apache2/error.log
[19:28] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, i feel like im about to have to hack my own system. no one else has root
[19:28] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: ... or you may need to use the live flash drive to mount your root drive, chroot, and visudo there.
[19:28] <eurythmia> ... it's not hacking, it's "recovery" ;-)
[19:29] <AcidRain2012> :/ HAX I TELL U!

[19:29] <XXOkocha> no body? I just want apache2 to start on boot/restart :(
[19:29] <eurythmia> XXOkocha: have you checked into "service"?
[19:30] <XXOkocha> do you mean service apache2 status?
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> aboSamoor: are you using ubuntu or debian
[19:31] <eurythmia> XXOkocha: there should be an option to enable it at boot time as well (i.e. service apache2 enable)
[19:31] <XXOkocha> okay I check that thanks eurythmia
[19:31] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[19:31] <ThePendulum> I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, but the networking panel is not showing. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[19:33] <XXOkocha> eurythmia: cant find that
[19:33] <Extreminador> eurythmia is arkose a good user-sandbox application for what i was speaking about ?
[19:34] <XXOkocha> I am using update-rc.d sofar. .. but it doesnt do anything
[19:34] <aboSamoor> wilee-nilee: I am using ubuntu
[19:34] <wilee-nilee> ThePendulum: network panel?
[19:34] <eurythmia> XXOkocha: you *could* add "service apache2 start" to /etc/rc.local ... but that seems hack-ish to me
[19:35] <ixio> whats easiest way to grant access to one user to another users home directory? user requires rwx
[19:35] <XXOkocha> eurythmia: ya, read about that too but it does in deed feel hack-ish to me too
[19:35] <aboSamoor> wilee-nilee: I can not use the second option, wireless is not working default on surface. Therefore, I want to install the packages manually
[19:35] <ThePendulum> wilee-nilee: The arrow icon in the panel at the top
[19:35] <eurythmia> XXOkocha: if you run "service apache2 start" and reboot, does apache run when you reboot? I seem to recall that some services will automagically enable themselves once run using the service binary.
[19:36] <XXOkocha> no it doesnt
[19:36] <wilee-nilee> aboSamoor: cool that link tells you now to load the app to a live cd, however have you read the uefi wiki?
[19:36] <eurythmia> Extreminador: I was referring to the default user-pages (that I mistakenly called user-sandboxes) that apache provides.
[19:36] <AcidRain2012> eurythmia, is there not a default root user like in backtrack?
[19:36] <AcidRain2012> :/
[19:36] <hellz_> whats the advantage of running the service binary over /etc/init.d/apache2 start ?
[19:36] <eurythmia> XXOkocha: bummer. I'm not sure.
[19:37] <Frank81> hellz there is no advantage
[19:37] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: no, ubuntu disables the root user by default. You need to use sudo to re-enable it (which you can't do if you're not in the sudoers file)
[19:37] <XXOkocha> eurythmia: thanks so far
[19:37] <Frank81> simply use apachectl as your did befor
[19:37]  * Ubuntivity feels that eurythmia has got a reddish name
[19:37] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: Whiskey is why you'll probably need to boot into the live USB and use root from there.
[19:37] <AcidRain2012> lulz
[19:37] <hellz_> i didnt think there was an advantage, however thats the 'recommended' way of doing it now. why?
[19:37] <AcidRain2012> http://www.maketecheasier.com/fixing-sudo-error-in-ubuntu/2012/01/03
[19:37] <eurythmia> Ubuntivity: que?
[19:37] <AcidRain2012> im going to go by this
[19:37] <FloodBot1> AcidRain2012: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:38] <eurythmia> AcidRain2012: I said "Whiskey" ... I actually meant "Which"
[19:38] <eurythmia> ... DYAC
[19:38] <Frank81> hellz coz ubuntu wanna mess with the apache fundation
[19:38] <Ubuntivity> eurythmia: no, just remebered my Hematology class :P
[19:38] <Frank81> thats all
[19:38] <Frank81> they even use distroyed configs :D splited into 100 files since they port it from debian
[19:38] <wilee-nilee> aboSamoor: take a look at this link, this mod is about the best help I have seen on uefi. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
[19:39] <Extreminador> eurythmia i didn´t know that apache provide such thing... will google about it thanks
[19:39] <hellz_> and here i thought maybe we were making progress in usability
[19:39] <Frank81> you can simply recompile apache then you have all fixed
[19:39] <eurythmia> Ubuntivity: ahh ... I get it :-)
[19:39] <Frank81> and remove the ubuntu package
[19:40] <Frank81> since it is broken and not supported by apache ^^

[19:51] <ben__> hello
[19:51] <ben__> I have a question regarding group/user privledges for transmission-debian, can anyone help me out?
[19:53] <wilee-nilee> !anyone |  ben__
[19:53] <ben__> ben : users owns the folder,    the file, while still in transmission (seeding), is owned by transmission-debian : transmission-debian
[19:53] <wilee-nilee> this is also ubuntu not debian
[19:53] <XXOkocha> Still problems with autostart @ ubuntu 12.04 server
[19:53] <ben__> using the id command, it shows there is no user transmission-debian
[19:53] <ben__> this is on ubuntu
[19:54] <wilee-nilee> cool,
[19:54] <ben__> i can't access the file while it is seeding
[19:54] <ben__> even though the id command shows me as part of the group "transmission-debian"
[19:55] <bilel> how can I have a "buggy kernel" after a fresh ubuntu install, boot repair is reporting this, I first tought it was related to ubuntu 13.04 but I've also reinstalled 12.04 and I've got the same issue, I was previously running ubuntu 12.04 side to side to windows, with grub and it was working perfectly...
[19:55] <ben__> and I set the settings to uid 2 in the settings.json file
[19:55] <bilel> here is the report : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6037768/
[19:55] <wilee-nilee> ben__: is it on your machine or another
[19:56] <ben__> i'm ssh'd into the machine, but its only 5 feet away
[19:56] <ben__> the machine is mine
[19:58] <SuperLag> I have a ThinkPad, and two docks, with a pair of displays connected to each dock. The display orientations are different for each dock. I have scripts generated with arandr that change those configs. Is there any way that I can have the configurations either remembered or detected, and kick off automatically when I connect them to the corresponding dock?
[19:59] <ben__> the folder is set as drwxr--r--+, owned by transmission:transmission,   but using id it claims that transmission is not a user, and for my associated groups it lists me as part of the trasnmission group...   it won't let me view the folder for some reason while its seeding
[19:59] <wilee-nilee> bilel: any number of reasons for a buggy kernel, what makes you think the bootinfo script is relevant. Describe the problem if you have .not in detail
[19:59] <diatorker> join #ubuntu-fr
[20:00] <SuperLag> wilee-nilee: how goes it, man?
[20:00] <isk8ufsusd> if anyone could help me with what i think is a simple problem that would be great.   I have a second drive in my ubuntu machine that doesn't mount automatically when the computer is started.  I use it as a network drive and it is a pain to have to open the root folder on this second drive before I can network into it.  I hope that makes sense and any help is much appreciated.

[20:02] <bilel> wilee-nilee: I just found an explanation... since this summer ubuntu 12.04 has switched to linux kernel 3.8, what I had installed previously was ubuntu >12.04<12.04 .3, and I didn't have this buggy kernel issue, do you know how can I find this ubuntu version again? on the website it's not present anymore, only 13.04 and 12.04.3
[20:03] <ben__> any advice for not being able to access a folder that transmission has downloaded and is currently seeding (I set it up so it has its own username, added it to the same group as my name, and changed setting.json file uid setting to 2 instead of 18.... I thought I had everything set up right, but recently files/folders don't show up on windows shares until after removed from transmission, and SSH'd into the machine, I can't open the fo
[20:03] <tmmunq> apt-get install linux-image-3.5-something
[20:05] <ixio> if I want to chroot a user to a directory, I need to make root the owner right? but I also want that directory to be accesible by the groups in the ACL list.. is that going to work ?
[20:06] <ixio> or is it easier to just chroot multiple users to the same directory and not worry abotu groups and ACL's ?
[20:08] <ben__> ixio: try looking how to set up folder for transmission
[20:08] <ixio> transmission?
[20:09] <ben__> I'm having an issue with folder permissions too, but that explains how to change owners and add multiple owners to a group so they still have access
[20:09] <XXOkocha> ubuntu update-rc.d still not workng at all
[20:09] <ben__> transmission = torrent program
[20:09] <XXOkocha> any idea?
