[00:00] <histo> b14d3: you can grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:00] <histo> b14d3: also check your lightdm log file
[00:00] <garrettkajmowicz> Any suggestions on who I might contact with boot script issues?
[00:01] <b14d3> Oh, that's way esaier.  That at least makes sense.
[00:01] <b14d3> I'll take a look into that and idle in here for a bit while I do. Thanks for the point in the right direction histo. I'll let you know what I find
[00:01] <histo> b14d3: you can confirm if you try and startx manually
[00:01] <histo> b14d3: np
[00:05] <mediacentaur> i need some help editing fstab. i can mount a network share by browsing to the network section of the filesystem. i can mount  both NAS drives through nautilus but can only get one to mount through fstab.
[00:08] <histo> mediacentaur: how are you mounting them via sshfs cifs nfs ???
[00:08] <mediacentaur> histo, trying to mount through cifs.
[00:11] <histo> mediacentaur: what line are you adding to fstab?
[00:12] <mediacentaur> histo, when i add the line: //<IP_ADDRESS>/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTVLiveHub cifs guest,rw 0 0
[00:12] <mediacentaur> histo, and mount -a i get: mount error(13): Permission denied
[00:12] <mediacentaur> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[00:13] <bekks> mediacentaur: And what the manual mounting command line?
[00:13] <histo> mediacentaur: try mounting the share via command line mount -t cifs //some/server  /some/location
[00:13] <mediacentaur> histo, and i don't have any issues with the other share on the network.
[00:13] <histo> mediacentaur: does this one allow guest?
[00:13] <roasted> Question - I installed the 3.9 kernel because 3.8 is giving me lockup issues. Problem with 3.9 is my Broadcom wifi chip does not work. How can I get it running?
[00:14] <histo> !broadcom | roasted
[00:15] <mediacentaur> histo bekks : it asks for a password if i type mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTVLiveHub
[00:15] <mediacentaur> histo bekks: but there is no password
[00:15] <roasted> histo: that link is of no assistance as I already have broadcom-kernel-source installed.
[00:15] <roasted> 13.04 isn't even mentioned on that link. :/
[00:16] <b14d3> Alright, having another issue. Ubuntu thinks my HD is full. The only thing on this drive is the OS itself, and I don't have very many programs installed. This has happened frequently recently, I run a program called Bleachbit and it resolves itself.  It looks like Overflow is mounted to my /tmp dir for some reason
[00:18] <mediacentaur> histo, mount error(13): Permission denied
[00:18] <mediacentaur> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[00:19] <histo> mediacentaur: so guest access isn't working. Perhaps nautilus is using your username
[00:20] <histo> roasted: isnt' it bcmwl-kernel-source package?
[00:20] <mediacentaur> histo, this device doesn't have that advanced of credentials.
[00:20] <roasted> histo: that's the driver as far as I know
[00:21] <histo> mediacentaur: are you sure you have the right ip etc...?  it's obviously not allowing guest
[00:22] <histo> mediacentaur: try with verbose output mount -t cifs --verbose -o guest //some/server /some/path
[00:22] <mediacentaur> histo, yes. positive. again, i can easily access in nautilus just by clicking network, the share name, and the directory
[00:23] <mediacentaur> histo, i get this: mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=<IP_ADDRESS>,unc=\\<IP_ADDRESS>\WDTVLiveHub,guest,user=,pass=********
[00:23] <mediacentaur> mount error(13): Permission denied
[00:23] <mediacentaur> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[00:23] <mediacentaur> histo, i wonder why it's specifying a password when there isn't one...
[00:25] <histo> mediacentaur: is there any sort of log on the box that's sharing?
[00:28] <mediacentaur> histo, the dumb twonky server has one... but that's not what i'm accessing.
[00:33] <mediacentaur> histo, worth noting... i'm on 13.04... this was working earlier this week when i was using linux mint maya. however, when i upgraded to olivia, the installation  went haywire so i decided to switch back to ubuntu. I had used it in the past and have always had a hard time mounting this share compared to the other but never THIS bad...
[00:34] <roasted> Question - does anybody have any ideas on how to get Broadcom 43228 working with kernel 3.9 on Ubuntu 13.04? I installed kernel 3.9 to test since I'm having random lock-up issues on 3.8, but I have no wireless on 3.9 to make troubleshooting it for days on end tolerable.
[00:36] <delac> nice oneliner to rotate a image 360 in steps of 12 with imagemagic (and save each)?
[00:40] <b14d3> Alright, now when my machine boots I get a... vaguely purple (but otherwise blank) screen. Still check xorg log?
[00:41] <Morph4me> roasted you might want to look at this about half way down the page under section 1210/1304  > http://indykish.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/solved-wifi-7-2/

[00:43] <Marius80> hi :)
[00:44] <Marius80>  I am searching for a webbased CRM solution which is not sooo overload as vtiger or sugarcrm are.   I use otrs as a ticket system,  so I need to tickets.  What I need is a system,  to save every contact with a status.   Imagine,  I step into hundrets of shops every day and ask if they need my product.  So I just want to create a small note like "need to call back" or "not interested" or "call tomorrow"  so I will not forget about this
[00:44] <Marius80> after the person / company became a customer,  I want to change the status to "customer",  give a customer ID and write some infos about the products bought
[00:44] <Marius80> vtiger and sugarcrm were so overload,  I think it's really too much for what I want
[00:47] <b14d3> histo, you don't still happen to be around do you?
[00:47] <trism> delac: for I in {1..30}; do convert image_0.png -rotate "$((12*I))" "image_$I.png"; done

[00:54] <mediacentaur> histo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139090
[00:55] <mediacentaur> histo, that sec=ntlm variable worked.
[00:57] <bekks> net0pssec: The vmware player is a standalone application, which cant connect to whatsoever.
[00:57] <mediacentaur> histo, thank you for your help, though. have a good day/evening.
[00:58] <net0pssec> bekks: really i have solved this b4 just cant remember how
[00:58] <shell`> with iptables, im trying to block the entire range <IP_ADDRESS>/20 from connecting to my machine on port 80.. but on this same range i want to allow <IP_ADDRESS> to connect to me on port 80.. so i have these 2 lines: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s <IP_ADDRESS> -j ACCEPT ; iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s <IP_ADDRESS>/20 -j DROP -- but yet <IP_ADDRESS> still cant connect on port
[00:58] <shell`> 80.. ?
[00:58] <shell`> i have ACCEPT first, then drop after
[00:58] <bekks> net0pssec: Impossible. The vmware player want ever, and isnt, capable of connecting to another host.
[00:59] <net0pssec> bekks: okay then
[00:59] <bekks> net0pssec: -want+wasnt
[01:00] <syntroPi> shell try revering the order of your rules
[01:00] <bekks> net0pssec: You are thinking of the vsphere client - but the linux days for it have passed long ago. Nowadays, there is no linux client for vmware.
[01:00] <shell`> the first line is accept, the 2nd is drop.. is that not how its suppose to be ?

[01:18] <shadykhan> im using gnome 3.8 and whenever i try changing settings i have to go the system preference menu i cant rightclick on my desktop and change background
[01:19] <mayhew> shadykhan: are you sure you're using GNOME 3.8?
[01:20] <syntroPi> shadykhan, try reading about gnome-tweak-tool
[01:22] <shadykhan> mayhew yes
[01:22] <shadykhan> syntroPi, i already have it ill look into it some more
[01:24] <syntroPi> shadykhan, idk but i think its somewhat like "let nautilus draw desktop" or such
[01:26] <servvs> I am trying to install a linux distro via unetbootin on a usb drive, it seems to have broken my usb drive though. It won't boot and it no longer shows up in my media
[01:26] <syntroPi> shadykhan, at least in 3.6 this worked for my gnome-shell
[01:26] <shadykhan> syntroPi, well the thing is it worked on a fresh install
[01:27] <shadykhan> the only i installed affecting gnome is the extensions im going to try disabling everything and see how it is
[01:27] <ntuh> Is this the right channel to ask for help?
[01:28] <syntroPi> shadykhan, try login out and relogin from gdm or lightdm after you changed your settings
[01:28] <delac> trism: thanks, but I figured it out already :)
[01:28] <wilee-nilee> shadykhan, You can reload the gnome de 3 with alt-f1-r
[01:28] <wilee-nilee> oops alt-f2-r*
[01:29] <servvs> I am trying to install a linux distro via unetbootin on a usb drive, it seems to have broken my usb drive though. It won't boot and it no longer shows up in my media
[01:30] <syntroPi> servvs, i always preferred to install it from a running live iso from within a virtualbox with startup media creator. in vbox you can bind a usb device exclusively to the vm
[01:31] <servvs> that seems like a good idea syntroPi thanks for the tip
[01:31] <syntroPi> servvs, you can format it with a new fat32 partition in startup media creator or gparted
[01:31] <delac> jrib: yes. turns out I had made .baks of some .la files year or two ago, when I tried to compile GNOME from sources (GNOME doesn't like them or something). Back then I couldnt find any adverse effects of doing that. Turns out there is. :) Sorry to bother with that.
[01:31] <servvs> how so syntroPi? Just erasing the disk?
[01:32] <syntroPi> servvs, you need to plug it in, add it to the usb options of your vm, then plugout, start vm replugin and
[01:32] <ntuh> I'm trying to install on an external hard drive, do I need to make  a new partition, if I dont want to lose data on the hard drive etc
[01:32] <syntroPi> well if you want to have a new filesystem on it: yes.   BUT be carefull to choose right drive DONT erase your HDD
[01:32] <syntroPi> servvs, ^^
[01:33] <shadykhan> Also i use sublime text 2 and there is a feature where i can multi select using the mousewheel but it doenst work in ubuntu any idea how i can fix
[01:33] <servvs> haha, understand, and thanks again syntroPi
[01:36] <syntroPi> shadykhan, maybe you can try xinput to investigate and correct ?
[01:42] <wicked> is there any way to ban ips from accessing a server from a list like rbl lists?
[01:49] <ntuh> I'm trying to install on an external hard drive,
[01:51] <wilee-nilee> ntuh, Ubuntu needs its own partition, on a external it will not be very fast.
[01:52] <achuinard> I use unoconv (https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv) on my Amazon EC2 instance to convert DOCX to PDF.  I cloned this repo locally and it was able to convert a Japanese file fine, but on my EC2 instance I get all question marks back in the PDF - as if the LibreOffice install on my EC2 instance doesn't have international language support?  Or is it possible that's something at the OS level?  I'm unsure how to get this fixed.
[01:52] <achuinard> My EC2 instance is Ubuntu
[01:54] <b14d3> Ubuntu is now booting to a plain black screen. No cursor or anything. Any hints on where to go from here?
[01:55] <hedgehog351> Hi, I've got some old /home/ folders from previous installs that are encrypted.  I just want to make room on my drive and do not care about recovering them.  If I just rm -rf the folders will it free up the space for me?  Right now the folders only display 2 text files and claim they only take up a few bytes of space which is definately wrong (the home files are encrypted so the true space is not given)
[01:57] <goddard> is there a way to figure out why my system shut off?
[01:57] <goddard> it just randomly shut off
[02:00] <|R7|> If i am going to fresh install ubuntu rather than dual boot which i have now, should i upgrade to 13.04 or stay with 12.04?
[02:01] <Dat> |R7|: personsal pref
[02:03] <goddard> |R7|: i would install xubuntu 13.04 if i was you
[02:04] <goddard> |R7|: but ya if you just want the latest and greatest 13.04 is recommend the LTS is really just for companies
[02:05] <b14d3> I can't boot into any kind of a gui. I get a plain black screen with no cursor. I've tried updating grub to have nomodeset, and have tried removing and replacing fglrx. I can get into my machine via terminal, just no gui.

[02:07] <goddard> b14d3: how old is your system?
[02:07] <mojtaba> Hi, I made a twitter account right now and a pop comes out and asked me to give access to ubuntu online to use my account. What is that for?
[02:07] <mojtaba> should I give it the access, or it is spying on people?
[02:07] <b14d3> About 2.5 years
[02:08] <mojtaba> What about other accounts? like gmail? because I made a gmail account and this question pops up again.
[02:08] <elisa87> any thought on this? valgrind : Depends: libc6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
[02:10] <samgabbay> when i press play or pause or skip it shows me a big x on my screen
[02:10] <goddard> b14d3: i have a few AMD systems and I never ran into any issues of needing to setup some grub changes
[02:10] <samgabbay> actually a circle with a bar in the middle
[02:10] <tempestchant> Hello all, new to this channel
[02:10] <ur0pl> hi
[02:11] <b14d3> goddard, it was really a shot in the dark based off of an askubuntu quote.
[02:11] <goddard> b14d3: but my systems aren't older than about 1.5 years
[02:11] <mojtaba> hello?
[02:11] <tempestchant> hi
[02:11] <goddard> b14d3: do you have any video cards laying around?
[02:11] <goddard> b14d3: what card do you have now btw?
[02:11] <b14d3> It's an AMD but I don't remember details right now. And no I actually don't have any extras laying around. This was literally working earlier today
[02:11] <mojtaba> Hi, I made a twitter account right now and a pop comes out and asked me to give access to ubuntu online to use my account. What is that for?
[02:11] <mojtaba> should I give it the access, or it is spying on people? What about other accounts? like gmail? because I made a gmail account and this question pops up again.
[02:12] <kostkon> mojtaba, you are being asked to give permission to ubuntu's online accounts to access your twitter data. it's how twitter works (and many other services)
[02:12] <mojtaba> kostkon: Is it secure? (I am new to ubuntu and twitter)
[02:12] <goddard> b14d3: well try a live distro and see if it runs ok if it does it isn't bad hardware
[02:13] <kostkon> mojtaba, probably.
[02:13] <mojtaba> kostkon: What does it do exactly, if I give permission to this app to have access to my data?
[02:14] <goddard> mojtaba: dude google gives access to your data to anyone and sells it haha
[02:14] <kostkon> mojtaba, it can then show your twitter feed in gwibber for example or in the dash etc. without asking you again for your credentials. actually ubuntu does not store your twitter credential, it just gets a key that it uses to access your data from twitter
[02:15] <goddard> the ubuntu online accounts are really not needed it is more for mobile devices
[02:16] <mojtaba> kostkon: Then it is just for showing the result in dash just to me?
[02:16] <goddard> you can use the applications seperately without using that
[02:16] <kostkon> mojtaba, or other apps that support the onlines accounts, eg gwibber, i think, and the new app call friends and the dash of course
[02:17] <kostkon> called*
[02:17] <kostkon> online*
[02:17] <kostkon> etc*
[02:18] <erpo> mojtaba: In a nutshell, this gives Ubuntu applications access to your account, so they can do whatever they want with your data. If you trust them, it might be a good idea to authorize them. If you don't trust them, then don't authorize them.
[02:19] <palantir> I've googled, but I can't find a definitive answer as to why Ubuntu uses ~/.profile instead of ~/.bash_profile.  It was my understanding these files should be read in order and which ever one is found first is run, but it seems that most Ubuntu howtos say to use ~/.profile, why?
[02:19] <kostkon> mojtaba, you can revoke the access at any time by visiting the twitter home page in your browser and clicking on your account settings
[02:19] <goddard> most people let google reach their hand into the data pot for free services and convience so allowing ubuntu to do it would only be fair right :D
[02:22] <erpo> goddard: Whether or not people allow a specific entity access to their data depends on how much they trust that entity. For me personally, the first thing I did was uninstall the Amazon lens in Unity, simply for the reason that Canonical should know better than to suck up personal user data by default for no benefit. It's conduct unbecoming a free software developer, and it makes me suspicious.
[02:23] <erpo> goddard: That's what's right for me. Other people are going to make different calls depending on how they feel about the entities involved.
[02:23] <goddard> erpo: hahah dude canonical is a company and they are trying to make money and so is google i doubt it is trust more ignorance or lack of caring
[02:24] <goddard> erpo: so if you give up a little bit of privacy so canonical can make some money it might make the Linux desktop better
[02:25] <goddard> just like if you use google they will read your emails, give it to the government, and market their products to you for using their services.
[02:26] <erpo> goddard: I've made my choice. :)
[02:27] <goddard> erpo: what makes you think i am trying to change your mind.  if you dont agree with what canonical is doing you should really use a different os entirely
[02:27] <bazhang> !ot | goddard erpo
[02:30] <resque> how can i get detailed information about the hardware connected to my computer, for example motherboard and its onboard components (for example onboard sound or IO ports)
[02:31] <clcto> lspci
[02:31] <resque> extra information like chipset would be nice.
[02:31] <bazhang> sudo lshw resque
[02:31] <IdleOne> you can also install hardinfo
[02:31] <bazhang> dmidecode as well resque
[02:31] <goddard> do we have one of those hardware info scripts like in Arch?
[02:32] <goddard> you know the terminal program
[02:32] <goddard> ?
[02:32] <bazhang> !info hardinfo
[02:33] <goddard> oh ya here it is http://www.distrogeeks.com/install-archey-in-ubuntu/
[02:33] <goddard> its called Archy
[02:34] <johnjohn1011> that's it!!
[02:34] <madprops> so, apt-get or aptitude?
[02:35] <goddard> madprops: get apt-fast
[02:36] <kppa> is there a to send code over IRC (multi line without your name appearing before each line)?
[02:36] <b14d3> Using a pastebin like it recommends in the rules
[02:36] <goddard> kppa: my editor does that for me
[02:36] <kppa> k
[02:36] <kppa> I mean
[02:36] <kppa> if you run your own IRC server
[02:37] <kppa> still cant do it?
[02:37] <resque> bazhang: idleone clctothanks a lot for the help guys
[02:37] <goddard> kppa: oh no idea
[02:37] <FloodBot1> kppa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:37] <kppa> Ok. Is there a recommendation for something like a view only vnc, but only for text?
[02:37] <resque> bazhang: i think dmide is what i am looking for.
[02:37] <kppa> I'm looking for something like collabedit, piratepad, etc -- but without dependency on the internet (just LAN)
[02:38] <kppa> and without me having to save every time for other people to see the changes
[02:39] <resque> bazhang: are there any other system tables like DMI that low level hardware would rely on for information?
[02:39] <goddard> kppa: i think the easiest way over lan is just vnc
[02:39] <kppa> goddard: but vnc is too bandwidth heavy for my need
[02:39] <kppa> e.g. if there are 10, 20 clients
[02:39] <goddard> kppa: what are you trying to send?
[02:40] <kppa> goddard: live coding lessons
[02:40] <kppa> for a group of students
[02:40] <goddard> kppa: then use scp
[02:40] <kppa> scp as in copy the files?
[02:40] <kppa> but i want them to see as I'm typing
[02:40] <goddard> kppa: then you will need to have a local server
[02:40] <kppa> yeah
[02:40] <goddard> kppa: probably a web server
[02:41] <kppa> that's not a problem
[02:41] <kppa> just need it to be live
[02:41] <goddard> kppa: there is stuff like that available open source and live
[02:41] <goddard> i think we used it for ubuntu's UDS
[02:41] <kppa> do you happen to know any names?
[02:42] <virusuy> hi guys
[02:43] <goddard> kppa: its not coming to me right now
[02:43] <chaotix> Regarding facebook and online accounts, what IS the deal already???   why has not an update fixed this mess?
[02:43] <kppa> goddard: k thx I will look around
[02:43] <chaotix> none of the band aids listed on the bug report have worked for me either
[02:43] <chaotix> :(
[02:44] <elisa87> Why am I receiving this?  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
[02:44] <chaotix> and if i am going to 'buntu it, i want to be in it all the way
[02:44] <chaotix> lol
[02:44] <tgm4883> goddard, kppa etherpad probably
[02:44] <jrib> elisa87: give full input and full output
[02:44] <goddard> chaotix: my honest opinion is because facebook isn't great
[02:44] <jrib> erm
[02:45] <goddard> tgm4883: thats the one
[02:46] <chaotix> goddard, i know, i know...  but everyone else has it  :(
[02:46] <chaotix> at least it isn't twitter
[02:46] <chaotix> ugh
[02:47] <chaotix> i will NEVER use twitter, and that is a promise...  who wants to shout from a rooftop like a madman?  and another thing, who thinks they are so important as to merit "followers"?  as if they think they are Jesus or Muhammad or something
[02:47] <goddard> chaotix: you just wanna chat with facebook people?
[02:47] <jrib> !ot
[02:47] <chaotix> okies
[02:48] <goddard> chaotix: you could try bitlebee
[02:48] <elisa87> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753573/ why I have write permission when installing with pip?
[02:48] <goddard> its terminal based but use a gauke terminal and your good to go
[02:49] <goddard> i prefer terminal programs so much lighter and no fluff
[02:49] <chaotix> goddard, i had not heard of that before...  seems interesting...    (if we are going to continue about this topic it would probably be best to do so next door in #ubuntu-offtopic)
[02:50] <goddard> chaotix: nah man this is on topic its support

[02:50] <chaotix> ok
[02:50] <tgm4883> hmm, I appear to have somehow inadvertedly upgraded to saucy on this laptop.....
[02:50] <IdleOne> take the fluff to -offtopic please
[02:50] <goddard> IdleOne: haha ya i should just connect myself to the cat5 cable

[02:50] <chaotix> mmmm fluff
[02:53] <jrib> elisa87: what directory did you execute this in? Do you really want to do this as root?  Why don't you install locally for the user?  Or better yet, why not use virtualenv?  Also, paste output of « ls -ld /research/jalal/profiling/build »
[02:53] <elisa87> I execute it in /research/jalal jrib
[02:55] <elisa87> jrib:  I am installing it in home and I have this error: ls -ld /home/jalal

[02:56] <jrib> elisa87: you're changing what you are doing now?
[02:56] <elisa87> jrib: nothing except the directory
[02:56] <elisa87> I don't know what I should do
[02:56] <Tking> hello, am using lenovo u410 but i noticed that my battery says i have 1hr to full charge sometimes it up or down. Over 4 hours its not fully charged now i unplug it says 2.17mins remaining for past 40 mins
[02:56] <jrib> elisa87: ok.  Pastebin full input and full output.
[02:57] <jrib> elisa87: if you change what you are doing then we need to start over because I don't know what you are doing now
[02:57] <goddard> Tking: battery management is kind of horrible in Linux
[02:57] <elisa87> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753591/
[02:57] <Tking> goddard  i see so no solution right it scares me
[02:58] <sporks> is there a gui way to control screen brightness in 12.04?
[02:58] <sere> Tking: thats not right at all.. i get nothing like that with all my labtops.. are you sure its not software related?

[02:59] <Tking> sere this is a fresh install of ubuntu and its my only OS
[03:00] <elisa87> what is virtualenv for pip jrib
[03:00] <jrib> elisa87: virtualenv lets you create self-contained python environments so you don't pollute your system's python
[03:00] <elisa87> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753597/
[03:01] <elisa87> I have never installed packages using pip that's why I am clueless jrib
[03:01] <elisa87> jrib: it worked without sudo ...thanks a lot
[03:02] <goddard> Tking: there is battery top
[03:03] <goddard> Tking: you can see where all the power is going and possibly stop some of the services or processes you dont need running
[03:03] <goddard> Tking: ubuntu is kind of good and bad like that where it trys to make sure everything works for the newbie
[03:03] <elisa87> jrib:  my bad! it didn't install http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753599/
[03:05] <jrib> elisa87: what ubuntu version are you using?
[03:05] <elisa87> jrib: 12.04 precise LTS
[03:05] <Greygan> OK folks, one quick question. I have everything working correctly with the Gnome release of 13.04 but I need to put in a better Nvidia driver. The last two times I tried I hased Gnome out to the point I had to reinstall. Any suggestions on which Driver to use? (Nvidia 7900GTX)
[03:06] <jrib> elisa87: you can try "pip install --user Glances" It will install to your user's HOME
[03:06] <Greygan> *hosed
[03:06] <jrib> elisa87: or use virtualenv
[03:07] <goddard> Greygan: go into ubuntu software sources and install the highest version number listed
[03:07] <goddard> Greygan: it is in the additional drivers tab
[03:08] <tgm4883> How do you hose gnome by installing a driver?
[03:08] <tgm4883> can't you just uninstall the driver and remove xorg.conf?
[03:08] <Greygan> goddard: that is what I did last time and could no longer boot into the GUI
[03:08] <elisa87> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753604/
[03:08] <sere> Greygan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[03:09] <Greygan> k thanks guys. cross your fingers... LOL
[03:09] <jrib> elisa87: that's pretty broken :/  I guess you will have to use sudo then and install it system-wide
[03:09] <elisa87> what do you mean to install it system wide? jrib
[03:09] <goddard> Greygan: it should work fine
[03:10] <jrib> elisa87: with sudo, pip will install it system-wide (in /usr/local)
[03:11] <Greygan> goddard: maybe it was something else that killed it. I had installed several items along with the new driver... probably just paranoid since I finally have everything else working right.
[03:11] <goddard> Greygan: well no worries man i installed so many times when i first started
[03:11] <goddard> Greygan: better to get good at it than be afraid of failing
[03:11] <Greygan> LOL this is my 8th install
[03:12] <Greygan> I have learned alot though
[03:13] <jrib> elisa87: it could somehow be related to the fact that you have pip in /usr/local/ instead of using the repositories.  Though I'm not sure exactly how.
[03:15] <sere> Greygan: how did it go?
[03:15] <Greygan> still installing
[03:15] <sere> Greygan: oh ok :x
[03:18] <jj123> how can I get the .config file used to build my kernel?

[03:23] <tgm4883> meth... not even once
[03:24] <booh> I'm on 12.10 and I would like Qt5-SDK for dev... is it possible?
[03:25] <kostkon> booh, yeah http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/#step-get-toolkit
[03:26] <Greygan> BRB going to reboot and see what happens.
[03:26] <kostkon> booh, hope you meant the ubuntu touch sdk
[03:26] <nydel> question (string manipulation from command line): if i'm doing "cat file | grep string" but i want to cut each returned line off after the character "M" ?
[03:27] <nydel> a line might be "this has the string and a M is here also" but i want it to print "this has the string and a "
[03:28] <booh> kostkon, not the touch.... I want to dev desktop Qt app...
[03:30] <elisa87> Why am I receiving an error like this? W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ackondro/tibesti/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[03:31] <booh> for now apt-get install qt-sdk is downloading/installing.. but I would like Qt5 in package... not to have to install it manually..
[03:31] <booh> Should I upgrade to 13.04 ?
[03:32] <kostkon> booh, add just the ppa canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper then
[03:33] <kostkon> booh, but if you also add the other one, the ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa, you will also get the latest qtcreator
[03:33] <Greygan> OK... How do I fix it? LOL Instead of the log in screen I get a solid black page with no mouse...
[03:34] <resque> when i log in to any account the screen goes black like the login worked but then drops me back to the login screen. any idea why?
[03:34] <resque> i can log in from one of the tty consoles
[03:35] <Greygan> After installing the Nvidia driver that is...
[03:35] <Greygan> sere: any suggestions?
[03:37] <sporks> I installed xbacklight but it's not on the gnome desktop panel..how do I find and use it?
[03:37] <booh> kostkon, is it modify versions or original from Digia?
[03:37] <sere> Greygan: i think thats a resolution issue..
[03:38] <kostkon> booh, i think it's regular qt5
[03:38] <Greygan> sere: how do I get in to change the res?
[03:38] <sere> Greygan: one sec im looking something up
[03:38] <booh> ok I give it a try..
[03:39] <Greygan> btw, this is exactly what happened before. I just didnt bother trying to fix it and just reloaded.
[03:42] <sere> Greygan: there is a key combination to change the resolution...i think its shift plus alt plus + at the same time
[03:42] <b14d3> I actually am having the same problem as Greygan but with an ATI card
[03:43] <Greygan> sere:: cool thanks. I will try that and be back shortly (had to boot in to the horrid Windows load)
[03:43] <sere> Greygan: ok ill do some more searching
[03:46] <elisa87> I am receiving lots of "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com..."errors when doing sudo apt-get update...any clue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753673/
[03:48] <sporks> xbacklight -set 50....doesnt work even though xbacklight is installed
[03:53] <xangua> elisa87: why did you exactly add repositories from dapper (6.06)¿
[03:54] <Sullane> Hello
[03:55] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Hello
[03:55] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Anyone on here know what minecraft is
[03:56] <clcto> HeyMan7-Cloud: yes and just ask your question
[03:56] <HeyMan7-Cloud> I did yesterday no one answered me
[03:56] <Greygan> sere: no luck. I did manage to log in through TTY1 but when i hit f7 I get a blank screen that is out of res
[03:57] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Do you know what wom is also?
[03:58] <clcto> just ask you whole question on one line
[03:59] <sere> Greygan: do you know how to use irssi?
[03:59] <Greygan> sere: dont even know what it is :(
[03:59] <clcto> do you think magic happens and everyone that can help you is always notified when you ask in irc? people are active at different times. and if that doesnt work go to the forums
[03:59] <Matthew_Moore> Hey Guys, whats the command to launch Guvcveiw?  i am trying to create a Shortcut.
[04:00] <sere> Greygan: you can install irssi (console irc client) and switch between terminals like you talked about so you dont have to reboot to windows
[04:01] <Greygan> ah OK
[04:01] <Greygan> apt get irssi ?
[04:01] <HeyMan7-Cloud> When I open the program (wom - minecraft classic client) it works fine until I click and always displays a menu
[04:01] <sere> Greygan: by any change did you try CTRL ALT + or - sorry i told you wrong
[04:01] <sere> Greygan: sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:01] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Doesn't make sence if you don't know what wom is
[04:02] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Its java based
[04:02] <Greygan> sere: yes I tried ctrl alt +/-
[04:03] <sere> Greygan: once installed connect to a server with /server irc.freenode.net and channel with /join #ubuntu
[04:03] <sere> Greygan: are you on windows now?
[04:03] <Sullane> Hey can anyone help me get rid of linux and redownload windows (I
[04:03] <Greygan> k brb in terminal
[04:03] <Sullane> 'm trying to dual boot it and windows cd isn't running with linux)
[04:04] <sere> Greygan: ok
[04:04] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane
[04:04] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Do you have a windows disk
[04:04] <Sullane> Yes
[04:04] <Sullane> it wouldn't boot from the CD though
[04:04] <Sullane> even if I put it to boot menu and stuff
[04:04] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Why is that
[04:04] <Sullane> no clue
[04:04] <Sullane> I tried it on my desktop (no linux) and it worked perfectly fine
[04:05] <clcto> Sullane: error message?
[04:05] <clcto> Sullane: that is loaded before any linux if you select the disk drive from bios boot options.
[04:05] <clcto> Sullane: meaning, linux is not the problem
[04:06] <Sullane> but the Ubuntu CD is working perfectly fine
[04:06] <resque> when i log in through tty i get the error "no home dir", i checked passwd file and there is a dir listed and i checked the permision on the dir and everything is fine. furthermore when i log in through the x window manager i get a login loop where i login and it puts me back to the login screen
[04:06] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: Have you tried running windows installer (Cd) in Linux?
[04:07] <resque> i created a new user using adduser script, the new user fails as well, recently i deleted my home dir and the tmp file. any ideas whats going on?
[04:07] <Sullane> what do you mean?
[04:08] <greygan> sere: I am in irssi :)
[04:08] <HeyMan7-Cloud> When you are running Linux, put the Windows cd and try to run the installer
[04:08] <HeyMan7-Cloud> put in the windows*
[04:08] <sere> greygan: good job :)
[04:08] <Sullane> I see a few folders
[04:08] <Sullane> an auto run file
[04:08] <Sullane> I believe a setup.exe file
[04:09] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Oh, .exe will not run
[04:09] <sere> greygan: try this : sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall
[04:09] <sere> greygan: then     sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[04:09] <greygan> k sec
[04:09] <sere> ok
[04:10] <m000gle> Is there any way to prevent Ubuntu 13.04 from attempting to mount an iPhone?  When I plug mine in to charge, it results in a half dozen pop-ups asking me what to do, whether to launch an application (for photo/audio media) etc.
[04:10] <Sullane> I see
[04:10] <ChogyDan> help, my unity autohide feature is broken.  It won't show with the mouse
[04:10] <resque> i think my login issue might have something to do with the /tmp folder i deleted. could some run "ls -ld /tmp" and tell what what permitions it should have
[04:11] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: What you should have done was installed Windows first, then use wubi to dual boot ubuntu
[04:11] <HeyMan7-Cloud> That's what I use
[04:11] <ChogyDan> resque: mine is 777, but I think /tmp should be deletable
[04:11] <Sullane> Yeah I'm trying to put windows back instead of linux
[04:11] <Sullane> and then do that
[04:11] <m000gle> ChogyDan: Try hitting your super (windows) key, and see if the sidebar and launcher appear.  My Unity has this glitch too, from time to time, but is easily solved by hitting that key.
[04:11] <Sullane> now I'm stuck with Linux which doesn't run unless my power cord is plugged into my laptop
[04:12] <Sullane> probably due to something about my graphics card
[04:12] <ChogyDan> m000gle: yes, hitting the key works, but I want the mouse to work as well
[04:12] <resque> ChogyDan: thanks, i have no idea why this is failing then
[04:12] <greygan> sere: not having any luck with the first command does it need apt-get in front of it?
[04:12] <Sullane> and not able to put windows in
[04:12] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: Xp?
[04:12] <sere> greygan: no you problably dont have nvidia-settings installed
[04:12] <m000gle> ChogyDan: Not sure, then.  I've just resigned myself to using that work around.  Best of luck!
[04:12] <ChogyDan> I try smashing the mouse against the side, and that usually works.  I was trying some other settings, try to get the sensitivity as high as possible, but now it doesn't work at all.  Only the key works
[04:12] <ChogyDan> m000gle: thanks  :)
[04:13] <greygan> ok, on to the purge then
[04:13] <sere> greygan: on askubuntu website its sayin if you uninstall everything and basicly start from scratch it should work
[04:13] <Sullane> I'm trying to put 7 in. I had 8 previously, but my friend gave me his 7 CD
[04:13] <greygan> can you give me the command to purge it again pls? I cant scroll up
[04:13] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: What brand pc?
[04:14] <Sullane> Lenovo
[04:14] <tucemiux> how do we configure video cards nowadays???
[04:14] <Sullane> z585
[04:14] <lasers> resque: What is your "ls -ld /tmp" -- I don't think ChogyDan is correct about deleting /tmp
[04:14] <tucemiux> !nvidia
[04:14] <sere> greygan: sure: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[04:14] <resque> lasers: now it is 777 root root
[04:14] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: When you boot up with the cd, try pressing f2 muntiple times
[04:14] <HeyMan7-Cloud> multiple*
[04:15] <lasers> resque: drwxrwxrwt ? You likely miss t if you mkdir /tmp
[04:15] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: Sorry, not f2, f12
[04:15] <Sullane> I've gotten to the boot menu and forced it to load my DVD drive first and also have sent it to load from DVD drive but it it just goes back into ubuntu
[04:15] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Hmm
[04:16] <resque> lasers: yes that is the same output as me drwxrwxrwt 9 root root
[04:16] <ChogyDan> resque: do you have space on your drive?
[04:17] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: So, it works in your friends machine?
[04:17] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Booting and all
[04:17] <resque> lasers:  i deleted my home dir and tmp dir after i rebooted my computer i can no longer login from the x11 desktop manager. i login and then it just takes me back to the login screen again. i created a new user with adduser script same thing.
[04:17] <TheCrownedFox> Is there a way to tell what wireless driver I'm using?
[04:17] <HeyMan7-Cloud> I'm sure there is a terminal cmd for it
[04:18] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Lemme look it up for you
[04:18] <resque> ChogyDan: df reports there is use 28%  but i did run sfill right after deleteing temp and home folder
[04:18] <Sullane> well it works on my own computer (home computer never had linux downloaded)
[04:18] <resque> ChogyDan: 28% use
[04:18] <greygan> sere: OK I had to modify the command a bit (sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current) but did that. f7 screen is the same should I reboot now or reload it first?
[04:18] <Sullane> I think it has to do with GRUB or something (linux newbie I might just be spouting garbage)
[04:18] <sere> greygan: no not yet
[04:18] <greygan> sere: k
[04:18] <ChogyDan> resque: ah, I've had issues logging in with a deleted /home.  again, I don't think /tmp is the issue.  According to debian policy, /tmp should be deleted with every reboot, or at least potentially
[04:18] <tucemiux> sere, thanks! that one did it, now how do I download the drivers for nvidia??  the additional drivers icon is no longer there
[04:19] <resque> ChogyDan: thanks for the advice, not sure what the issue is then. if i log in via tty i get the error no home dir using /
[04:19] <HeyMan7-Cloud> TheCrownedFox: Check this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/96333/what-wireless-driver-am-i-using
[04:20] <tucemiux> !nvidia
[04:20] <sere> greygan: were you able to run : sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[04:20] <sere> tucemiux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:20] <TheCrownedFox> HeyMan7-Cloud, thanks I'll check it out
[04:21] <sere> greygan: you still need to remove the nvidia drivers and then reinstall them before rebootr
[04:21] <ChogyDan> resque: i think there are certain files in /home that the GUI stuff needs.  I ended up just reinstalling, cause my issue was a little different.  But it was the same issue: no home directory, couldn't login via gui
[04:21] <greygan> sere: i ran (sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current) should i go back and do it again with the full command?
[04:21] <tucemiux> sere, then reboot and thats it?
[04:22] <resque> ChogyDan: wouldnt the files needed by the GUi be created when i create a new user?
[04:22] <sere> greygan: nvidia-curent should actauly be ok
[04:22] <ChogyDan> resque: are you using a GUI?  if yes, then I would think yes
[04:23] <tucemiux> sere, ok i installed the drivers, im going for a reboot, brb
[04:23] <greygan> so just reinstall the drivers via (sudo apt-get nvidia-current) and reboot?
[04:23] <lasers> resque: What's the old username? New username?
[04:23] <sere> greygan: yup
[04:23] <greygan> err sudo apt get install nvidia-current i mean.. LOL
[04:24] <resque> lasers: old username "user" new username "ben", created using adduser script
[04:24] <greygan> sere: cool will try that and report back. Thanks this irssi helps ALOT
[04:24] <sere> greygan: your welcome :)
[04:25] <Sullane> hello?
[04:25] <resque> ChogyDan: i am using the TTY console 1, i can see the login screen GUI. but when i login blankscreen then it puts me back to the desktop
[04:27] <greygan> sere: OK I ran the full purge just for good measure, reinstalled and about to reboot. wish me luck LOL
[04:27] <sere> resque: do you get a X11 error
[04:27] <resque> sere: where would i see this error?
[04:27] <sere> greygan: i have faith in you :)
[04:28] <sere> resque: did it kick you out of X or are you just getting a black screen
[04:28] <resque> sere: after login i only see a blank screen for a few seconds, then right back to the login screen
[04:29] <lasers> resque: Can you stop lightdm service, go to TTY1, and "startx" -- It might spill out useful information (during, or at end of session).
[04:29] <resque> lasers: will do
[04:30] <greygan> sere: same thing :(
[04:31] <sere> greygan: black screen?
[04:31] <greygan> yes
[04:31] <tucemiux> sere, installing nvidia-current makes my resolution really big and I don't have an option to change the resolution
[04:31] <sere> greygan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:32] <tucemiux> greygan, no, if you have a blackscreen check to see where ubuntu is sending output to, it could be sending output to onboard video rather than another video card
[04:32] <resque> lasers: only error i can see is /root/.Xauthority does not exsist, but i think thats cus i ran startx as root
[04:33] <lasers> resque: Interesting. Try running that as ben.
[04:33] <sere> tucemiux: you can change resolutions in the console with ctrl alt + or -..try that first
[04:33] <greygan> I have no onboard video but do have 2 monitors connected... hmm
[04:34] <tucemiux> sere, thats not it, im not talking about the size of the text, the actual resolution, im stuck on 640x800, i think
[04:34] <greygan> Thats it!!! the display is on my secondary monitor (That I dont use) that used to be mirrored
[04:35] <greygan> brb folks
[04:35] <resque> lasers: ah got an error in a GUI box could not update ICEauthority file /,ICEauthority
[04:35] <sere> greygan: aewesome :)
[04:35] <tucemiux> greygan, what type of outputs do you use? HDMI needs to be configured, VGA should work
[04:35] <greygan> both HDMI

[04:36] <greygan> err DVI
[04:36] <sere> tucemiux: so you can boot into X its just stuck on 640?
[04:36] <tucemiux> sere, would you happen to know how were supposed to change the resolution nowadays?
[04:37] <tucemiux> sere, yes, im going to fireup a command line but if I log out is because ubuntu crashed and logged me out
[04:37] <resque> lasers: also on ttu2 i see timeout in locking authority fie //.Xauthority
[04:37] <sere> tucemiux: xrandr if you can boot into x

[04:37] <ForSpareParts> Anybody know how to get a sliding window open effect for compiz under 13.04?
[04:37] <tucemiux> sere, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480
[04:37] <ForSpareParts> Apparently the old way to do it was with the "Skewer" effect, but that's gone now.
[04:37] <lasers> resque: (Problem: "I get the session lasted less than 10 seconds..."
[04:38] <tucemiux> sere, how can I tell what video drivers im using right now???
[04:38] <sere> tucemiux: you can addmodes but you should have to
[04:38] <resque> lasers: reading now, thanks for taking the time to help
[04:39] <lasers> resque: Sure. Let me know if that worked. :)
[04:39] <tucemiux> how can I install gnome??
[04:39] <sere> tucemiux: sudo lshw -C display ; dpkg -l grep nvidia
[04:40] <tucemiux> dpkg-query: no packages found matching nvidia
[04:41] <resque> lasers: will do, seems as though there is no .ICEAuthority file in my home dir
[04:41] <lasers> tucemiux: Peeking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is usually more than enough. Also, for Nvidia/Nouveau... you can try "lsmod | grep ^n"
[04:41] <tucemiux> what happened?
[04:42] <greygan> sere: I got it! thank you guys so much!!! I never even thought about it taking me out of my mirrored config
[04:42] <tucemiux> sere, please repost, i cleared my xchat console by mistake
[04:42] <sere> greygan: your welcome .. glad you got it working
[04:42] <tucemiux> greygan, im doing the same thing right now o.O
[04:43] <greygan> tucemiux: good luck. Mine seems to be working great again
[04:43] <greygan> brb dropping out of TTY
[04:43] <greygan> exit
[04:43] <resque> lasers: ok found a new error, i think this is the root cause. When i log in with ben account "No Directory, loggin in with HOME=/"
[04:43] <tucemiux> sere, lets try it again, something is fishy,  im going to purge, reboot, then come back and let me know what command to run to install nvidia
[04:44] <lasers> resque: Hmm. No /home/ben?
[04:44] <resque> lasers: there is a home dir /home/ben, i do have ownership and read/write permitions and it is listed inside of passwd
[04:44] <sere> tucemiux: you shouldnt have to do it again
[04:45] <resque> lasers: from the passwd file: ben:x:1003:1003:ben,1,,:/home/ben:bin:bash

[04:45] <Sullane> Can anyone help me install windows onto my machine that only has linux? I boot from the dvd from the boot menu but it just heads into Ubuntu
[04:46] <resque> lasers: sorry the last few characters should read ":bin/bash" that wa sa typo
[04:46] <tucemiux> sere, ok nvidia is purged, how do I install the drivers again pls
[04:46] <voidray> tucemiux, apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:46] <sere> tucemiux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:47] <tucemiux> voidray, thanks! nvidia driviers installed, let me reboot and see what happens
[04:47] <ChogyDan> Sullane: i think you just have to make sure the proper boot device is selected in the bios, then windows needs to take over.
[04:47] <sere> tucemiux: dpkg -l | grep nvidia : will tell you what driver version
[04:48] <ChogyDan> resque: did you have the -m switch in the adduser command, like: sudo useradd username -m -s /bin/bash
[04:48] <resque> ChogyDan: yes i did
[04:48] <resque> ChogyDan: but i created an account with adduser and useradd both of them cant log in
[04:48] <tucemiux> ok i installed the drivers but im still stuck on 640
[04:49] <resque> ChogyDan: home dirs where created both times, and i can see them inside of the passwd file as well
[04:49] <lasers> resque: ls -ld /home /home/*     -- How is it looking?

[04:57] <param_> ok kool let me give a try
[04:58] <tucemiux> param_, you might need an escape sequence, dont know if it's possible but I don't think that's an issue with ubuntu per se
[04:59] <resque> lasers: ok i changed the file permitions for the home folder and checked the passwd file, they are the same as yours now. i will startx again
[04:59] <dopie> how do i save in the nano editor?

[05:01] <sere> tucemiux: you can try a different driver from the repo or voidray solution which could work

[05:04] <ben_> hey, i have an intel centrino 1000 wifi card which works great but whenever i suspend then resume it sees the network but cant connect
[05:04] <resque> lasers: nice work mate, one issue solved. after i changed the /home dir permitions the error message "no home dir HOME=/" is not fixed.
[05:04] <sere> tucemiux: tucemiux yes and add the repo
[05:04] <ben_> ive tried all the solutions on the forums but none of them work
[05:04] <ben_> :/
[05:04] <resque> lasers: rebooting and going to try to log in.
[05:04] <lasers> resque: Okay!
[05:04] <resque> lasers: i am sure this will get rid of the .xauthority error as well

[05:07] <resque> lasers: so to recap, error was everytime i loged in GDM would open a blank screen then drop me back to the login window. The fix was my /home dir had incorrect permitions. changed them with chmod to match your /home dir file permitins everything is fixed. Thanks so much for the help guys.
[05:07] <resque> ChogyDan: ^^^^
[05:07] <sere> tucemiux: did you get sudo nvidia-xconfig to run?
[05:07] <lasers> resque: Because you rm -rf /home instead of /home/user! :P
[05:08] <ChogyDan> resque: cool
[05:08] <resque> lasers: ye must have dont, that was dumb :P
[05:08] <resque> done*
[05:08] <resque> ChogyDan: thank for the help as well mate :-D
[05:08] <Demosthenex> right, so apple announced their new macbook air today, what are the odds that ubuntu will work on it out of the box with the same workarounds used on the last one?
[05:11] <aeon-ltd> Demosthenex: noone will know anything til it's release
[05:12] <param_> Hey Greygan ,  it says now connecting to           }123@ipaddress  ........
[05:12] <Demosthenex> aeon-ltd: uh, they ship today
[05:13] <Demosthenex> my concern is that new haswell chipset, whether it needs kernel mods
[05:13] <Demosthenex> otherwise it sounds the same
[05:13] <param_> I am facing an issue in settings proxy settings on ubuntu terminal because of my password ... i have @ in my password     and command i am using for setting proxy is Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy_username:pass@123@proxy_ip:port   So there are 2 @ in the command , so its taking 123@proxy_ip
[05:15] <aeon-ltd> Demosthenex: and we the users are the only way anyone will know anything about it's linux support, until there are enough users of the new mba we won't know anything
[05:16] <Demosthenex> aeon-ltd: yeah, i know! i was hoping early adopters would come to irc ;]
[05:16] <Demosthenex> thus, i asked
[05:16] <Demosthenex> otherwise, it might be me
[05:17] <aeon-ltd> Demosthenex: early adopters withing 24hours, only apple fanboys would try to obtain it within a day and they will probably be using osx mainly
[05:18] <lasers> Demosthenex: You will spend $1000 for a 11" screen? :o
[05:19] <linu> Hi all, i am compiling buildroot toolchain in ubuntu 12,while compiling this toolchain i getting error mentioned in weblink http://pastebin.com/ViyGzhxb
[05:19] <aeon-ltd> mac hardware is worth some of the cost, but i wouldn't buy to use linux
[05:20] <Greygan_> aeon-ltd: I have to disagree (15yr hardware tech here) I dont think mac hardware is worth ANY of the extra cost... LOL
[05:20] <linu> please any one can help me how to rectify this error..
[05:21] <Demosthenex> lasers: i'll spend $2200 on the 13" with maxed specs and a 4 year warranty
[05:21] <Demosthenex> for biz
[05:22] <aeon-ltd> Greygan_: not specifically the cpu/gpu ram ssd, but the keyboard+trackpad+battery imo places it above most other brands
[05:22] <param_>  I am facing an issue in settings proxy settings on ubuntu terminal because of my password ... i have @ in my password     and command i am using for setting proxy is Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy_username:pass@123@proxy_ip:port   So there are 2 @ in the command , so its taking 123@proxy_ip
[05:22] <goddard> my gpu gets so hot my system shuts down what can i do?
[05:22] <Demosthenex> goddard: more fans.
[05:22] <goddard> Demosthenex: its a laptop
[05:22] <abinash> Hey everyone, I am facing a strange problem here.  One of my currently running software is not working, so I am unable to install new ones.
[05:23] <Demosthenex> goddard: ugh.
[05:23] <Demosthenex> goddard: can you disable 3d?
[05:23] <abinash> When I try to do sudo apt-get install -f
[05:23] <goddard> Demosthenex: using xfce but id like to be able to play games
[05:23] <goddard> Demosthenex: its a gaming laptop
[05:23] <Demosthenex> goddard: check your vents? try a compressed air cleanout?
[05:23] <param_> Greygan, I tried  pass"@"123     {@}   and "pass@123"   none of tricks worked  for me ,
[05:23] <Greygan_> aeon-ltd: meh... maybe a little better on that front but not enough to justify their extreme price imho
[05:23] <goddard> Demosthenex: that might help but i think its pretty clean
[05:24] <Demosthenex> Greygan_: the price justifies the software and support stack, not just the hardware
[05:24] <abinash> the following error I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753844/
[05:24] <Demosthenex> goddard: what chip?
[05:24] <param_> is there any other way of updating my ubuntu
[05:24] <Demosthenex> param_: you have to authenticate
[05:24] <goddard> Demosthenex: nvidia 460m
[05:24] <Demosthenex> param_: you can always try the init=/bin/sh trick though ;]
[05:24] <Demosthenex> goddard: binary driver or nouveau?
[05:24] <goddard> Demosthenex: binary
[05:25] <Demosthenex> goddard: what can you tune in nvidia-settings?
[05:25] <Demosthenex> to control the heat
[05:25] <goddard> Demosthenex: nothing from what i can see
[05:25] <Demosthenex> really?
[05:25] <param_> what this init-/bin/sh
[05:25] <param_> let me try,
[05:25] <Demosthenex> param_: google it, it's a local hack to use physical access and grub to reset root password.
[05:25] <goddard> Demosthenex: nothing cooling related
[05:25] <thomad16> would it be crazy complicated to expand my windows partition and re-install ubuntu
[05:26] <Demosthenex> goddard: power usage, clock speed, high performance settings, all have to do with cooling
[05:26] <Demosthenex> thomad16: nuke it.
[05:26] <Demosthenex> thomad16: but i'm biased.
[05:26] <thomad16> I need windows for school
[05:26] <abinash> Demosthenex: Hey help me out on this one. One of my software is not working so I tried sudo apt-get install -f, but that also can't repair and I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753844/
[05:26] <Demosthenex> thomad16: i need windows for work. i run window sin virtualbox on ubuntu.
[05:26] <param_> pass word is for internet only,
[05:26] <param_> and i cant change that
[05:27] <Demosthenex> param_: ah..... no idea then
[05:27] <thomad16> :P I also like to play games from time to time
[05:27] <param_> i have just to bypass @   and allow it to read as normal character
[05:27] <Demosthenex> abinash: do you have two updates running at once? are you really runnign with privs? try running it in a text only recovery boot (single user)
[05:28] <Demosthenex> abinash: if sound is in use... you may not be able to update, hence the single user mode
[05:28] <Demosthenex> abinash: actually, single user's always the cleanest way to boot
[05:29] <thomad16> can I set up window to read ext4 filesystems or will I need to re-format to ntfs?
[05:29] <Demosthenex> bah, s/boot/upgrade/
[05:29] <Demosthenex> thomad16: i share data to a windows VM using samba fileshares
[05:29] <abinash> Demosthenex:  no I am not running two updates and running them with privs.
[05:29] <Demosthenex> thomad16: that way the windows vm can access my files on linux
[05:29] <Demosthenex> abinash: sounds like an app conflict. shutting down apps would help.
[05:29] <Wdae> Well that isn't really safe if windows can acces your files :P
[05:30] <abinash> Demosthenex: could you explain me how to repair it in single user recovery boot
[05:30] <Demosthenex> Wdae: excellent observation. so you make a specific directory to share, not share-all
[05:30] <abinash> and please help me shutting down the sound app also :)
[05:30] <Demosthenex> abinash: it's not recover. just boot into single user mode and retry the update command
[05:30] <Demosthenex> abinash: shutting it down, it's likely easier to reboot into single user so it never starts
[05:31] <Demosthenex> gah, i came in here to talk about a macbook, and suddenly i took over the channel :P
[05:31] <voidray> thomad16, you can install ubuntu along windows 7 with wubi.
[05:31] <voidray> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer more info

[05:33] <param_> pass%40123
[05:33] <Greygan_> param_: yes
[05:34] <marko-_-> what would be the easiest way to create a bootable windows 7 usb on ubuntu?
[05:34] <param_> ok trying

[05:34] <voidray> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows more info
[05:34] <voidray> sorry
[05:35] <marko-_-> sere, what?
[05:35] <marko-_-> voidray, on ubuntu, not on windows
[05:35] <sere> marko-_-: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-create-multiboot-liveusb-using.html
[05:35] <voidray> my bad
[05:35] <thomad16> Hay I'm getting this error when running cfdisk:    FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap
[05:36] <marko-_-> 2010 - you would think ubuntu had an app for it now
[05:36] <marko-_-> dissapointing
[05:36] <marko-_-> but yeah, i'll follow the tutorial even though i already did one
[05:36] <marko-_-> without success
[05:36] <sere> marko-_-: it does http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-create-multiboot-liveusb-using.html
[05:36] <sere> marko-_-: you tried it already?
[05:37] <marko-_-> sere, not this one, something else with unetbootin
[05:37] <marko-_-> i'll give this a triy
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> marko-_-, Actually you can mount the ISO and extract it to a usb ntfs formatted with a boot flag.
[05:37] <marko-_-> wilee-nilee, i have an USB 3.0 formatted as ntfs through gparted
[05:37] <sere> marko-_-: this one is by far the best i found
[05:37] <marko-_-> and i wanted to do it with unetbootin and i can't
[05:37] <marko-_-> should i just extract the .iso on the usb wilee-nilee ?
[05:38] <param_> Thanks Greygan
[05:38] <param_> i was stuck on this for last 2 days
[05:38] <param_> thanks :D
[05:38] <wilee-nilee> marko-_- yes mount it with a right click and archive manager and extract from it.
[05:38] <Greygan_> it is the ASCII code for the @ symbol :)
[05:38] <Slash_Fury> Hey guys, I'm having some trouble trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 to an SSD on my laptop. During the install wizard, when it gets to partitioning, if I hit the "+" option, I get an internal error popup
[05:39] <Greygan_> sere: YAY! I actually fixed something... LOL I feel better now :)
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> marko-_-, The partition needs a boot flag this can be set with a right click in gparted on the usb
[05:39] <param_> You rock buddy :D
[05:40] <param_> ok thanks for sharing knowledge
[05:40] <marko-_-> wilee-nilee, it has a boot flag
[05:40] <marko-_-> will see if it works now
[05:42] <sere> Greygan_: WOOHOO! thats what its all about.. helping others and we grow together
[05:43] <Wdae> :P
[05:44] <Greygan_> sere: Well thanks again for the help with the video issue. Think I am gonna call it a night.
[05:44] <sere> Greygan_: anytime buddy.. have a good night
[05:46] <Slash_Fury> Does anyone have advice for me? If I run gparted, I can format the SSD to ext4, as well as mount it, but I'm not really sure how I can go ahead and get Ubuntu actually installed to it
[05:46] <abinash> Need help in enabling network in recovery mode
[05:48] <sere> Slash_Fury: you need to mark the ext4 partion as / and then add a swap which should be double the amount of your ram
[05:49] <wilee-nilee> swap only needs to be slightly more than ram
[05:50] <sere> wilee-nilee: from what i read i thought it was double?
[05:50] <clcto> you dont even need swap if you have a decent amount of ram. but if you want to hibernate (suspend to disk) you need at least the amount of ram you have
[05:50] <clcto> sere: that is out dated
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> sere, used to, I guess, but not needed.
[05:51] <sere> wilee-nilee:  oh ok...i am kinda stuck doing things the old way :x
[05:52] <sere> wilee-nilee: thats 3 gigs i wasted on nothing :x
[05:52] <Wdae> @Sere, wait for next release :]
[05:52] <wilee-nilee> sere, you can delete it and make one the size you want exspand the other partition to it.
[05:52] <Wdae> yes, from a live cd
[05:53] <Slash_Fury> sere: What do I actually need to copy over to the SSD for Ubuntu? I'm guessing I don't want to just do a cp -r * of my live usb drive :P
[05:53] <clcto> Slash_Fury: you have to install it
[05:54] <Wdae> Yes, just install it normally.
[05:54] <Wdae> Like you would with a normal hdd.
[05:55] <sere> wilee-nilee: i will probably end doing that then.. thanks :)
[05:55] <Slash_Fury> That's the problem. If I try using the standard install wizard, when I get to the "Installation Type" part, I can't continue. If I simply hit "Install now", I get an error saying "No root file system is defined." If I mess around with any of the partitioning options, such as the "+" or "-", it crashes.
[05:55] <Wdae> Set "/" on your ext4 partition
[05:55] <Slash_Fury> And I see nothing listed in that particular window for my SSD.
[05:56] <Wdae> :o
[05:56] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: I know this may sound noobish, but how can I go about doing that? :P
[05:56] <tattooed> hey everyone
[05:56] <Wdae> Err it crashes...
[05:56] <dopie> hello

[05:57] <dopie> im using this xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[05:57] <dopie> and getting
[05:57] <samgabbay> ello people :)
[05:57] <dopie> Error: Can't open display: (null)
[05:57] <dopie> what is going on?!
[05:57] <tattooed> how goes it dopie
[05:57] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: for example, if I click on "+" which would presumably create a new partition, I get a "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error." popup.
[05:57] <Slash_Fury> Then the installer exits.
[05:58] <dopie> hey hey hey :)
[05:58] <sere> Slash_Fury: you need to label that prtition as "/"
[05:58] <dopie> just finally setting up ruby on rails with passenger
[05:58] <Slash_Fury> sere: The partition does have a label of "/"
[05:58] <Slash_Fury> What would be my next step?
[05:59] <Wdae> Boot on the live cd and open gparted.
[05:59] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: Already there. I have my two partitions on sda, sda1 (ext4, "/") and sda2 (swap).
[06:00] <clcto> you dont need to label it, that isnt the issue. just wipe the whole drive with no partitions on it and then run the installer
[06:00] <clcto> the installer will let you partition. idk why that is messed up though
[06:01] <Wdae> You want to install ubuntu on sdaX?
[06:01] <dopie> how do i copy my id_rsa.pub key
[06:01] <dopie> without using xclip
[06:01] <Slash_Fury> clcto: Even if the disk is completely unallocated, I have the same issues as before.
[06:01] <SwedeMike> dopie: copy it where?
[06:01] <dopie> umm sorry
[06:01] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: Yes, I'd want it installed on sda1, my ext4 partition I had created.
[06:01] <dopie> just print it on the scren
[06:02] <Wdae> You could wipe the full drive with shred.
[06:02] <clcto> Slash_Fury: hmm idk sry
[06:02] <dopie> screen
[06:02] <Wdae> Then create a new partition table.
[06:02] <SwedeMike> dopie: "cat" prints files to screen.
[06:02] <clcto> cat ~/.ssh/... key
[06:03] <Tickle> I have a raspberry pi running an Apache server, and I have an Ubuntu machine holding files on the same local network as the raspberry pi. Is it possible to link to files on the Ubuntu machine in html documents held on the Raspberry Pi?
[06:03] <Wdae> Anyway...
[06:03] <samgabbay> poop
[06:04] <clcto> Tickle: set up a nfs share
[06:04] <Tickle> Thank you!
[06:04] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: Theeere we go, that's the missing step. Alright :)
[06:05] <param_> E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory )    When I run sudo apt-get update ... I removed this directory earlier, how can i fix this
[06:05] <dopie> SwedeMike, thank ye
[06:06] <goddard> i think i might convert my laptop to a desktop
[06:06] <goddard> or at least a different "case"
[06:07] <goddard> is that crazy talk?
[06:07] <Slash_Fury> So yeah, it seems my trouble was that I didn't realize I had to create a new partition table, instead of simply deleting the partitions. Thank you very much :)
[06:07] <Slash_Fury> Still curious why the installer kept crashing, though
[06:08] <Wdae> I fixed something! :D
[06:08] <Wdae> :)
[06:08] <clcto> Slash_Fury: maybe the disk was gpt or mbr and it was expecting the other
[06:08] <Wdae> Yep
[06:08] <Wdae> Slash_Fury: Drive size?
[06:08] <Slash_Fury> Just a 32GB, but considering I got it for $5, I'm not going to complain :)
[06:09] <Slash_Fury> Threw it in my T61
[06:09] <Wdae> Well it's mbr... not Gpt
[06:09] <Wdae> Maybe your mbr was somehow corrupted...
[06:12] <bullicon> I am having  Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[06:14] <clcto> Wdae: how do you know what type of partition table it had?
[06:15] <Wdae> Well maybe not... Just a guess...

[06:30] <bullicon> somsip thanks sorted, my vbox was not connecting
[06:30] <bullicon> had to restart it

[07:03] <devslash_> i don't need that site
[07:03] <devslash_> i just want to know if bootcamp supports creating multiple partitions
[07:03] <Campfire> what is the copy command for xchat
[07:03] <devslash_> IE more than 2 partitions
[07:03] <Campfire> i mean key
[07:06] <tripelb> i need a livecd.  no internet connection. have virgin install/12.04 -- i imagine there is a direct easy way to creae a diskimage file so I can burn it but i am ignorant. Please help me!!!
[07:07] <Campfire> c
[07:07] <cfhowlett> tripelb, you have the ISO?  startup disk creator in ubuntu will make USB or cD
[07:07] <Jordan_U> devslash_: You should *not* use Apple's bootcamp utilty. It will create an ugly "hybrid MBR" which is only needed for Windows on intel macs.
[07:07] <devslash_> then how do i create the partition ?
[07:08] <adi__> any way to extract certain file from tar.lzo (knowing its path inside)?
[07:08] <devslash_> i thought that normally you create 2 partitions. 1 for mac and 1 for windows. then you boot the ubuntu cd and partition the windows cd as a linux partition
[07:08] <Jordan_U> devslash_: The Ubuntu installer will resize your OSX install and create partitions for Ubuntu automatically (or you can do it manually, but there's not much reason to).
[07:09] <devslash_> hmm
[07:09] <Jordan_U> devslash_: No. I highly recommend against that as it will create a "hybrid MBR" and hybrid MBRs are ugly and cause problems.
[07:09] <devslash_> ok
[07:09] <tripelb> nono cfhowlett i do not. ('loan'ed both of them. gave away the old mac that had the. iso)
[07:10] <cfhowlett> tripelb, torrent down the iso first.  md5sum check for integrity then make your bootable media.  unetbootin works on windows as well
[07:10] <Jordan_U> tripelb: There is no direct easy way, no. What do you need the LiveCD for?
[07:12] <tripelb> _ i need to read my nexus 7 but no internet connection here. what do i need to d/l so i can read it?

[07:33] <cfhowlett> tripelb, switch your nexus USB connection settings from media to camera and try again
[07:33] <wloczykij> Hi everybody!
[07:34] <cfhowlett> tripelb, +1 for airdroid ... makes it quite easy to transfer files/apk's etc.
[07:34] <cfhowlett> wloczykij, greetings
[07:38] <Kartagis> can rsync work both ways?
[07:39] <wloczykij> I have one question: I can't find alternate image for basic edition of ubuntu 12.10. I found such image only for lubuntu or for older version of ubuntu. Anybody knows why Canonical removes it from official download sites?
[07:40] <cfhowlett> !alternate|wloczykij,
[07:41] <clcto> http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ that was hard google

[07:42] <wloczykij> ubottu> thank you for answer. I was looking for it because I would like to install ubuntu on encrypted partition - manuals refers to alternate image
[07:43] <wloczykij> clcto> there is no alternate images on site you mentioned
[07:44] <wilee-nilee> wloczykij, A live cd will encrypt or use the mini.
[07:44] <wloczykij> wilee-nilee> I see, thank you for hint
[07:45] <clcto> wloczykij: yes i know as you can see by my next post "oh, he wants the text install"

[07:51] <shadommancer> i've tried checking dmesg (though it doesn't have anything in it), fstab shows everything is ok, and I've tried configuring grub, and reinstalled from a fresh live usb (which i did the disk check to confirm it hasn't got any flaws) and I just keep getting this error, I've googled i don't know how many  forums and what not but I cannot figure out what is going on :/

[08:01] <tskorte> tripelb, No worries homie :)
[08:01] <tripelb> tb cheers tk
[08:01] <shadowmancer> hmmmm so is there a common reason as such to the kernel panic, unable to locate init, as far as I can tell my image should be fine, my mount point seems sound, it is giving me something about a loop modprobe but i don't think that is directly connected to it
[08:01] <tripelb> err tsk

[08:03] <kenzo450D> hi, i got a basic question does sudo <command> gives that current user, super user permissions to execute the command and the command is executed from that user itself or the command is executed from root?
[08:03] <acerimmer_> !root
[08:04] <Kartagis> can rsync work both ways?
[08:04] <kenzo450D> ok thanks. :)
[08:05] <clcto> kenzo450D: pretty sure it is executed as root. when i sudo vim i dont get my ~/.vimrc defaults
[08:05] <kenzo450D> clcto: thank you. :) :)
[08:07] <shadowmancer> ummmm is my question out of the scope of this channel
[08:07] <k1l> Kartagis: unison is rsync for both ways
[08:08] <clcto> !topic
[08:08] <vamshi> tripelb : just opened the terminal. entered sudo su command. It exited the terminal itselft. Please let me know how to fix this issue?
[08:09] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: It might help if you explained more what you are doing. I honestly thought I had missed earlier messages when I first saw your question since it wasn't clear on its own.
[08:10] <shadowmancer> I have just installed Ubuntu 13.04 from a live USB, did check of live usb which showed as aOK, then after install, ubuntu refuses to load saying that Kernel Panic, and unable to locate the init file, so what I have done is I have checked the fstab via the liveusb of the hdd, which seems to see the hd0 and the mount point, reinstalled 5 times with various configurations, found no matter how many times I try to run ubuntu that dm
[08:10] <shadowmancer> anything in /var/log/dmesg
[08:10] <shadowmancer> have googled it for 3 days, and find am using a 32 bit distro
[08:10] <shadowmancer> have attempted to run debug in grub, and played with grub for a bit though not to much avail
[08:11] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: Your message was cut off at "found no matter how many times I try to run ubuntu that dm".
[08:11] <shadowmancer> dmesg doesn't appear to have anything in it
[08:11] <clcto> shadowmancer: add an init= parameter to the kernel line in grub, dont know what it should be though
[08:12] <shadowmancer> clcto: I've tried messing with it, but doesn't matter what init file I point it to (I assumed it meant the initrd) it seems to not care
[08:12] <clcto> shadowmancer: no
[08:13] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: It does not mean initrd, it means the init, PID 1, the first process started at boot.
[08:13] <clcto> after the kernel there are a bunch of parameters separated by spaces, add init=<something>
[08:13] <clcto> idk what it is supposed to be though. see if you can get into bash so init=/bin/bash
[08:14] <vamshi> when i entered sudo command terminal is exiting. How to fix this issue?
[08:14] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, have you tried advanced boot options on the installation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[08:17] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  I have tried the advanced boot, though found all it does is give me a choice of the kernel to load, and both run into the same issue
[08:18] <shadowmancer> clcto: I'll give the bash thing a go and if it still freezes will have to go from there
[08:19] <shadowmancer> clcto: and be back
[08:24] <vagrant_> sc2?
[08:25] <Kartagis> k1l: I don't think unison does what I need to do. I'm more looking for a way to use rsync to retrieve files

[08:33] <DJones> shadowmancer: Yes
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: yes
[08:33] <clcto> dhs227: there should be a timeout option in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[08:33] <shadowmancer> excellent :D
[08:34] <clcto> shadowmancer: whats the prognosis ?
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> clcto: you'd set that in /etc/default/grub
[08:35] <clcto> meh, w/e
[08:35] <clcto> dont use grub here sry
[08:36] <shadowmancer_> clcto: just thought i would mention the bash thing kinda blew up
[08:36] <clcto> shadowmancer_: ok
[08:37] <shadowmancer_> clcto: as well it didn't generate any log :\
[08:39] <ANub> !expert
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> clcto: its default in ubuntu
[08:41] <clcto> ActionParsnip: yes i know, that doesnt mean you have to use it
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> clcto: true enough
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> clcto: are you a lilo kinda guy?
[08:43] <clcto> syslinux, but using using arch, not ubuntu anyway
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> clcto: ahhh i see
[08:47] <shadowmancer_> hrmmmm what is the default value for init= in the grub.cfg script
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5754201   is what I get in Precise
[08:49] <Yamakasi> hi guys. When I do a "domainname" command I get (none) back... my domainname is set in /etc/hosts
[08:49] <binm0de> hi everyone
[08:49] <ikonia> Yamakasi: that is nis
[08:50] <shadowmancer_> ActionParsnip: exact same as me
[08:50] <DJones> shadowmancer_: On 12.04 Server I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/5754210/
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer_: in /etc/resolv.conf   do you have: domain NAMEHERE
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779535
[08:51] <Yamakasi> ikonia: ?
[08:52] <ikonia> Yamakasi: domainname is for "nis"
[08:53] <Yamakasi> ikonia: ok
[08:53] <shadowmancer_> ActionParsnip: No, its actually showing up as a broken link
[08:53] <shadowmancer_> and with my original quesiton I should have clarified, what i meant was that the Kernel Panic error suggests enabling the init= option, though when that option is omitted what result is used
[08:57] <shadowmancer_> hrmmm I am thinking it maybe more with the bootloader then with the actual ubuntu image
[08:57] <in0cula> is there a simple and concise guide to understand ubuntu internals?
[08:57] <DJones> in0cula: A basic Ubuntu manual?
[08:57] <DJones> !manual
[08:58] <in0cula> I mean advanced, to understad how ubuntu works
[08:58] <jatt> advanced is the system itself
[08:58] <shadowmancer_> in0cula: any examples of advanced, do you mean how the kernel works, how the window manager works, how does unity work .etc
[08:58] <jatt> hands on work on it
[08:59] <jatt> there is also The Official Ubuntu Book it's a little bit advanced
[09:00] <in0cula> shadowmancer_, yes all this stuff, where for example unity is located and the folders and config files
[09:00] <DJones> in0cula: As jatt said, the best way is just to use it, break it, and then work out how to fix it using the various websites giving advice (askubuntu, ubuntuforums etc)
[09:00] <in0cula> DJones, ok that a way
[09:01] <in0cula> I hope to find a schema
[09:01] <in0cula> a blueprint
[09:01] <shadowmancer_> in0cula: if you want to know how every single nut and bolt of ubuntu works, from how it turns 0101 into a flashing light on your screen, a schema as in a pretty picture of the entirety won't exist
[09:01] <shadowmancer_> in0cula: or if it did it would be a very very very big picture
[09:02] <xrc> can I get someone to help me with installing some packages? I try to do an sudo apt-get install
[09:02] <in0cula> ok, thanx for your answer
[09:02] <xrc> but it says a package that it depends is not going to be installed
[09:05] <DJones> xrc: You probably need to give more details such as what you're trying to install, what version of Ubuntu and whether its from the official repo's or a ppa
[09:06] <shadowmancer_> anyways I'll keep poking if i figure anything out i'll see if i can leave a note somewhere
[09:06] <xrc> Ubuntu 13.04, I am trying to get the mir server up, installing from its ppa.
[09:07] <xrc> DJones, I am stuck on trying to install unity-system-compositor (
[09:08] <DJones> xrc: I've not played with it, with it being from the ppa and being part of the default repo's I think you'll probably get more help if you join #ubuntu-mir which looks to be the support channel for Mir while its in development, its probably a quiet channel so you may need to be patient for a reply though
[09:09] <DJones> whoops, that should say, not being part of the default repo's
[09:10] <xrc> DJones, thank you. I was not getting any replies from them so I decided to ask here. Also the thing that bothers me was that I was able to install it via command-line
[09:11] <xrc> DJones, only to find after a sudo apt-get upgrade that it fetched some new versions of the server thus killing the previous upgrade
[09:11] <xrc> DJones, for a second I thought it's a more generic question with packaging issues here ^^
[09:12] <xrc> DJones, thanks anyway, I'll get it on their channel and wait for replies there
[09:12] <DJones> xrc: I guess it could be a number of things, without knowing anything about it, the Mir channel is probably the safest bet, or if there is a contact email on the ppa, that could be worth a shot
[09:13] <leehambley> I'm pretty sure I know the answer ("you're doing it wrong") but what's the best way to install a package without the init.d/upstart stuff?
[09:14] <leehambley> I'm unpacking it with dpkg, deleting everything that relates to init.d and repackaging (under a new name and vendor release number)
[09:14] <leehambley> but it's a pain
[09:14] <llutz> leehambley: why don't you just install it "the right way" and disable autostart then?
[09:15] <leehambley> because I'm using (forced to use) a toolkit (babushka) which installs them "depdnedency driven", naturally they're started by the scripts on install
[09:15] <leehambley> so I need the "start on installation" not to happen
[09:15] <leehambley> … I don't care about na init script, really, but finding a portable way to stop anything that was just installed (But only if it was just installed) is a pain
[09:16] <llutz> leehambley: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856815
[09:16] <llutz> leehambley: last post ^
[09:17] <rose7676> help !
[09:17] <rose7676> Another process esets_gui already runningrose@rose-desktop:/opt/eset/esets/bin$
[09:17] <leehambley> llutz the policy.rc seems like a reasonable solution
[09:18] <leehambley> cheers *thumbsup*
[09:18] <llutz> leehambley: easier and "cleaner" than repacking deb before installation
[09:18] <leehambley> llutz: definitely, it's a shame that people don't package things as the binaries/configs and the init scripts separately
[09:19] <leehambley> bundling everything might have made sense 5 years aog, but now that there's 4/5 competing init.d alternatives, it's just a pain :(

[09:20] <BarneyS> when i run a shell script from the same directory by this command sh runfile.sh it runs file
[09:20] <BarneyS> and when i run it from other directory sh scripts/runfile.sh it doesn't run
[09:21] <BarneyS> can anyone help me with that?
[09:21] <llutz> BarneyS: runfile.sh expects "file" to be in $PWD?
[09:22] <BarneyS> so that means i cannot run a file from different directory?
[09:22] <llutz> BarneyS: change runfile.sh to use absolute path for "file"
[09:22] <BarneyS> i mean i cannot run shell script from any other directory!!
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: if you use TAB to complete the folder names and file names, does it help?
[09:23] <BarneyS> how?
[09:23] <BarneyS> not it doesn't
[09:23] <rose7676> nod32 ubuntu 13.04 HELP
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: is the file marked as executable? You do know the '.sh' extension isn't needed, this isn't Windows :)
[09:23] <BarneyS> well it completes the line, but it doesn't run
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> rose7676: details please
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: is the file marked as executable?
[09:24] <BarneyS> yes it is
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: what is the output of:  file ./scripts/runfile.sh
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: ('file' is a command)
[09:25] <BarneyS> ASCII text
[09:25] <BarneyS> is the output
[09:25] <rose7676> ActionParsnipinstall, install ??
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: did you put the line:    #!/bin/bash   as the top line in the file?
[09:25] <BarneyS> no
[09:25] <BarneyS> should i??
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: I suggest you do. Yes :)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> rose7676: can you give full details. I didn't understand your last reply
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: you can then run:  chmod +x  ./scripts/runfile.sh;  ./scripts/runfile.sh
[09:29] <BarneyS> ActionParsnip: thanks :-) can you tell me why is it necessary to add #!/bin/bash
[09:32] <Antar> d
[09:32] <Antar> Hello
[09:32] <varunendra_> BarneyS, that tells the command interpreter which shell to execute the script with
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: it makes it a script, it tells the interpretter to use bash to read the rest as Bash code rather than ASCII text
[09:32] <Antar> is there an iso of ubuntu terminal
[09:33] <BarneyS> ohk got it :-)
[09:33] <mogaj>  Hi, i installed ubuntu 12.04 on Dell vostro 3500. i am not able to use trackpad right and left clicks ... how can i fix this?
[09:33] <Antar> jsut the terminal no Gnome no Kde
[09:33] <oldherl> hey, Apple announced mac os 10.9 will be Maverick?!
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: you can use any shell you want, you can even use #!/bin/python   or whatever it is and then code in python
[09:33] <oldherl> to follow ubuntu 10.10?
[09:33] <DJones> Antar: There is the server iso, or the minimal iso that lets you select what you install by downloading from the internet
[09:34] <rollinga> Hello there. I'm having some trouble updating from lucid to precise. Exactly this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/943638
[09:34] <DJones> !minimal | Antar
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: adding '.sh' does nothing at all, its teh content of the file which is looked at, all you had was a file full of text. If you add the top line then the OS will see a script
[09:34] <Antar> Grear thx
[09:34] <DJones> !text | Antar Another option is to use the desktop cd, but use this boot parameter to get a text mode,
[09:34] <varunendra_> BarneyS, so did you succeed to run the script? You can (actually should) use it as bash <path to script) instead of sh. Also, make sure there are no blank spaces in the path or filename.
[09:35] <Antar> DJones
[09:35] <Antar> how can i do
[09:35] <BarneyS> varunendra_: yes i did. .
[09:36] <Antar> ah ok
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: its dead flexible like that :)
[09:36] <BarneyS> ActionParsnip: :-)
[09:37] <mogaj>  Hi, i installed ubuntu 12.04 on Dell vostro 3500. i am not able to use trackpad right and left clicks ... how can i fix this?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: you can aso use different interpretters if you want, you can use csh or zsh if you want :)
[09:38] <BarneyS> ActionParsnip: i tried using bash, as sugested by varunendra_ it works. .

[09:48] <krypto> any one installed ubuntu as para virtual guest on xen?
[09:48] <paddy> where in ubuntu is the data stored regarding package list, etc. please?
[09:48] <jrib> paddy: why?
[09:49] <paddy> jrib, cause i wanna make a list of some sort
[09:49] <rose7676> now  install nod32  no run
[09:49] <jrib> can you be more specific?
[09:50] <jrib> paddy: can you be more specific about what it is exactly that you want to accomplish?
[09:50] <histo> paddy: You can use dpkg  with get-selections option
[09:50] <DJones> !cloning | paddy If you just need a list of the packages installed, Ubottu's info should help you extract the information
[09:50] <rose7676> ActionParsnipinstall,  no run now fix?
[09:52] <data> hi, i have a problem with, I think, custom mouse pointers in certain applications
[09:52] <paddy> no, no, hold on
[09:52] <data> i.e. they do not appear, e.g., in spotify, skype et.
[09:52] <paddy> i need to access the core file that contains the description, file size and all that
[09:53] <jrib> paddy: you should explain what you actually want to accomplish: /why/ do you need this access
[09:53] <paddy> why would i need to explain that?
[09:53] <jrtappers> Does flash on firefox use screen size to chose how to scale videos? I keep getting letterboxed videos
[09:53] <paddy> are you the guard of the information that is provided in that file?
[09:53] <jrib> paddy: one, your request is odd.  Two, it's still not clear exactly what you are looking for.
[09:54] <llutz>    paddy  /var/lib/dpkg/available
[09:54] <paddy> doh, in "/lib" it is hidden, thanks llutz
[09:54] <jrtappers> paddy, There may be better ways to achieve what you want to do, and if we find them everyone benefits
[09:55] <jrtappers> I think the flash problem is because I have two screens, and it seems to be using my desktop area to work out scaling on one, so it letterboxes
[10:01] <shadowmancer> Hey all ... I think I might have figured out what was the issue, I realized I was using the wrong build >.< I was using a 32bit build for a 64bit system, meaning the init file in /sbin/ couldn't be run
[10:03] <data> hi, i have a problem with, I think, custom mouse pointers in certain applications. i.e. they do not appear, e.g., in spotify, skype, java applications and others. is there a way to disable them? I have changed cursor themes and am at a loss
[10:03] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, do you mean your hardware is 64 bit capable and you were trying 32 bit ubuntu?
[10:04] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  didn't think about it until I read another error the log was spitting out and checked into that and was like ... really ... because I realized all the info on my build was for 32 bit
[10:05] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, that should never be a problem. It is an issue only when the condition is opposite (i.e. trying to run 64 bit on a 32 bit system)
[10:05] <cburke> test
[10:06] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  :/ hmmm still willing to give it a shot since i'm out of ideas :P I am out of ideas and might as well run a 64bit os on a 64 bit processor
[10:07] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, did you try the recovery menu options in the advanced grub menu? Especially - failsafeX (safe graphics mode)
[10:07] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  yep, still gave me the Kernal Panic issue
[10:08] <shadowmancer> Kernel *
[10:08] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, have you run memtest to test your RAM?
[10:09] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  would that effect the locating of the init option, because I am noting that the live usb is running which I would think would mean that the RAM would be fine
[10:11] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, not necessarily. A memory leak can cause weird behaviour at different instances of OS loading or its working.
[10:11] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, take a look at common kernel boot options : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common_Kernel_Options You can add them to kernel boot line by pressing "e" at grub menu.
[10:13] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  hmmm thanks for the link, i'll see what I can do and see if it works, still going to wait for the 64bit build though
[10:14] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, do you have any thread on ubuntuforums regarding this issue?
[10:14] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  Not really, I found 101 different threads with similar though no specific answers
[10:16] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, that's only because there is really no specific reason for the error you are getting. Most often it is a buggy driver - most often the graphics one. But it can be anything from a corrupt image to a misconfigured BIOS or even partitioning.
[10:34] <marianne_> 'morning guys. Is it possible for this app to come across the ISP as being a bot?
[10:34] <michael87> Anyone need any help activating transparency in ubuntu 13.04. I am loving that i figured this out XD
[10:35] <uovobw> hi *. i am googling for an answer but i keep finding input-related answers. which packages do i need to install to get support for chinese/korean/japanese characthers and charsets in a Qt application that runs on an ubuntu 12.04 ? tia for the time
[10:36] <bekks> marianne_: For which app? What do you mean?
[10:37] <bekks> michael87: Its in the settings :)
[10:37] <michael87> bekks, erm what settings? I had to use dconf
[10:37] <marianne_> bekks: smuxi irc client
[10:38] <bekks> marianne_: And what do you mean by your question?
[10:39] <bekks> michael87: dconf edits settings, too :)
[10:40] <marianne_> bekks: I got an email from my ISP saying there is a bot on my system... I ran all the usual checks and came back clean on all platforms (running windows, OSx and ubuntu on my LAN)
[10:40] <michael87> omg this is awsome. I was worried ubuntu would shut off transparent windows after ubuntu 12.10. but its back and I am loving it. Life will be awsome without windows XD. 8 is flat and dead to me and I have a gut feeling they are going to fxxk up windows 7
[10:40] <marianne_> I'm thinking that the 'bot' identified is actually the way this program works and the fact the ISP is just lamesauce
[10:40] <lasers> marianne_: Can't you ask your ISP for more information than a bot?
[10:40] <michael87> plus I don't think I can live without hot corners now lmao
[10:41] <marianne_> lasers: I'm going to, but just got the email late last night
[10:41] <bekks> marianne_: So "way" an IRC application works isnt identified as being a bot. Its just an IRC application. Did you got further information about that "bot"?
[10:41] <bekks> s/So/The/
[10:42] <michael87> does having transparency on effect battery life in ubuntu?
[10:42] <prooty1> hello. i have an application that when run from .config/autostart takes a long time to quit during shutdown.
[10:42] <bekks> michael87: Every eyecandy does.
[10:42] <marianne_> bekks: going to talk to the ISP today and see what they are showing from their side. IT could be that this is just a scam to get me to buy into their 'protection package'
[10:42] <JewInSheepsCloth> Wireshark ! anyone know about the wireshark and the snmp-mibs-installer error "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
[10:43] <JewInSheepsCloth> i ran apt-get for snmp-mibs-installer
[10:43] <JewInSheepsCloth> and got these two errors
[10:43] <michael87> bekks :(. even with tlps? the battery saving program for linux?
[10:43] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Thats just an error that somearchives arent available on the repo servers currently. Its not a wireshark issue.
[10:44] <prooty1> but when it is run from a terminal it exits quickly. does anyone have an idea what the difference could be?
[10:44] <bekks> michael87: Even with whatever - eyecandy and bling bling affect battery lifetime.
[10:44] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: so do i wait and run the apt-get update later?
[10:44] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: it said something wicked happened
[10:45] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Either wait or just use other download servers.
[10:45] <michael87> bekks, meh. I'll have to accept that then. and from personal experience unity takes up less on battery then kde. and the new window snap on 13.04 is fantastic XD
[10:45] <JewInSheepsCloth> what is this "Something wicked happened resolving 'th.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-11 - System error)"
[10:45] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: A DNS problem.
[10:45] <JewInSheepsCloth> is that my thailand server
[10:46] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Most likely it is a problem on your client side, not on the server side.
[10:46] <JewInSheepsCloth> what does client side mean ? i am doing something wrong ?
[10:46] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: client is "your computer".
[10:46] <JewInSheepsCloth> oh lord
[10:47] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: We dont know what you are doing, so we dont know wether you are doing something wrong.
[10:47] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: so how do i run it again or whatever
[10:47] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: just keep trying ?
[10:47] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Just check your DNS settings.
[10:47] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: where do i do that ? is it my gufw running ?
[10:47] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: gufw has nothing to do with your dns settings.
[10:48] <bekks> !dns | JewInSheepsCloth
[10:48] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: how do i check my DNS settings
[10:48] <nibbler> JewInSheepsCloth: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[10:48] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: You dont need to setup a dns server, but just check your current settings.
[10:48] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: how to check them /
[10:51] <kit-kat> hi anybody can you please tell me how to add encoding support? any document or examples ...
[10:52] <JewInSheepsCloth> ok i checked my dns seettings i guess

[10:52] <michael87> god ubuntu 13.04 is so feature riched. I am just going to have to dualboot with windows 7 becuase at this point all its good for is games lol. if I had a much sicker graphics card most of my games would probably run fine with wine though. still haven't decided if wine is a good replacement for windows yet. don't think so save ripping dvds with magic dvd decryptor
[10:55] <lasers> michael87: Get PS4 and you're set. No more dual boot. :)
[10:59] <michael87> lasers, lol thats one way to do it. but frankly I am not happy with sony making the ps4 not backwards compatible. its the ps2 to ps3 all over again. No If I am to enjoy my older games on a newwer system I am going with pc gaming. I have both 360 and ps3 and love them both. I am very very displeased with the no backwards thing especially since I freaken love skyrim and want to sup up the graphics XD
[10:59] <k-joseph> hi to everybody, am inquiring to know, i have an hp g7 pc that i am currently duo booting windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but when ever am in ubuntu, my left speaker does not work, what could be the reason, thanks
[10:59] <bekks> !ot | michael87
[11:00] <michael87> k-joseph, frankly you should try 13.04 its miles ahead of 12.04 despite it not being a long term. freaken rocks
[11:01] <k-joseph> micheal87: is'nt there any other solution to that besides changing to 13.04?
[11:01] <lasers> michael87: I disagree. I'm sure he chose LTS for a reason (and upgrading is not always a solution; See XboxOne ; Lulz).
[11:02] <lasers> k-joseph: Alsa or Pulse?
[11:03] <k-joseph> lasers: surely, and am currently running so many things with ubuntu and would not like to inconvenience my self
[11:03] <michael87> lasers, very funny you are. and I agree with you on that. But the features and speed of 13.04 has me inthralled and done with 12.04 lol. respect though for stayying with lts. waiting for the next lts myself but I'm going to just jump every 9 months. and if they ever mess up I'll go for lts. it is free after all. Much ubuntu and linux love XD
[11:04] <lasers> !alsa | k-joseph
[11:04] <lasers> k-joseph: Try running "alsamixer" -- You might find something. If not, speakers aren't old or broken, right? :)
[11:05] <basss> hello, when i use ssh i keep getting the ^[[A character whenever i press the up arrow. Any idea what is causing this ?
[11:05] <bekks> michael87: Basically, the decision for using LTS or for using the latest version is based on requirements and needs, not on believing the latest version is the "best".
[11:05] <mar77i> hello #ubuntu. this has been going on my nerves for years, not sure if you can help me. I have a dualscreen setup with both 60hz
[11:05] <kit-kat> hi i have list of character encodings, how can i add a new character encoding support,what is that command to add new encoding support
[11:05] <kanupatar> Hi all,
[11:05] <kanupatar> is there any part time embedded oppertunities anywhere? My university stopped internal part times inside Uni and I am trying to get some for my fee and book for my research
[11:06] <ubukou> hey folks.im having a problem with a sony vaio. the laptop im talking about had windows preinstalled and gave me blue screens all the time. i recovered it using the image sony had installed in it and it did the same. after that i decided to install ubuntu and ubuntu gave me black screens.
[11:06] <mar77i> well, not exactly 60hz, the one on the left is set to 59.9 and every now and then it just drops a frame
[11:06] <jrib> !ot | kanupatar
[11:06] <bekks> !nomodeset | ubukou
[11:06] <ubukou> i contacted sony and sony told me that it void the warranty to install linux
[11:06] <lasers> basss: What terminal and did you modify ~/.bashrc or something like that? (like PS1 for instance)
[11:07] <ubukou> any ideas?
[11:07] <ubukou> isnt that ILLEGAL!?!
[11:07] <bekks> ubukou: ubottu just gave you some clues.
[11:07] <michael87> bekks, understandable. but again in my personal opinion, speed compatibility and so forth, raring is fantastic. and I recommend it to anybody. but yes I tell anyone not running linux jumping ship about hte 9 months support and lts has longterm till I think 2015.
[11:07] <jrib> ubukou: so install windows again and deal with sony
[11:07] <bekks> michael87: Wrong. 12.04 LTS is supported until 2017.
[11:07] <ubukou> jrib, they want me to give 80 euros and buy the recovery disks.
[11:07] <basss> lasers: im using the nonrmal shell and i did not modify .bashrc
[11:08] <jrib> ubukou: use the image you used before
[11:08] <ubukou> jrib, how does that sound. god i have sony. last time i deal with them. its my gf laptop
[11:08] <ubukou> jrib, i installed linux to see what happens. formated the disk :S
[11:08] <michael87> bekks, oh. ok fine 2017. anyway I tell them 5 years long term support. but I am not the only one that is enjoyying 13.04 when compared to 12.04 in my town now :)
[11:08] <ubukou> jrib, they dont give you disks the have a partition that contains the image
[11:08] <jrib> ubukou: what exactly happens on ubuntu now?
[11:09] <kousthub> hey moto...
[11:09] <kousthub> sorry guys...
[11:09] <bekks> michael87: Well, that decision isnt based on "oh lord, look at that eyecandy".Personally, I dont even care about transparency, eyecandy, whatsoever - I care about being able to work with my linux boxes.
[11:09] <ubukou> jrib, when i tried to apt-get update it gave me a black screen. i dont have the laptop with me now. it was a screen i ve never seen in lunix.
[11:09] <mar77i> ubukou: you don't want a warranty that tells you what os to use
[11:09] <ubukou> jrib, i know its not a lot to go on with
[11:10] <lasers> basss: Your computer's distro and server distro? What are they? Are you using different shell or something like that?
[11:10]  * kousthub slaps deepak around with some plastic rings from Great Pacific Garbage Patch
[11:10] <ubukou> mar77i, what do you mean ? is that normal. they force you to use damn windows?
[11:10] <basss> lasers: im using osx & the server is ubuntu 12.04 minimal
[11:10] <jrib> ubukou: there's not much we can do if you don't have access to the laptop.  If you want to try to troubleshoot from ubuntu, come back with the laptop.  If you believe it's a hardware issue, deal with sony.  I doubt that installing linux voided your warranty, but I'm sure they won't provide support for it (linux)
[11:10] <DJones> kousthub: Don't do that
[11:10] <bekks> ubukou: Yes, and thats legal.
[11:11] <kousthub> sorry, he's new to irc..ma friend
[11:11] <bekks> ubukou: And there is nothing you can do about it. Or just ignore the void of warranty and follow the clues ubottu gave you.
[11:11] <michael87> bekks, I'm sencing hostility. I just think that eye candy and speed will bring in newwer users easily and accessiblity. I'm all for more open source users over microsoft after choices like windows 8 and xboxone.
[11:11] <ubukou> jrib, thats what the bitch on the phone told me .. god i wanted to smack her :P
[11:12] <sameh> hello plz any one help me i have problem in my lunixmint 15
[11:12] <DJones> !mint | sameh
[11:12] <ezra-s> ubukou, she's just an employed human who is telling you what she has been told to say
[11:12] <jrib> ubukou: well read your warranty, or ask her to point you to the relevant paragraph in the document.  Good luck
[11:12] <bekks> michael87: There is no hostility at all. But we are getting offtopic :)
[11:13] <ubukou> ezra-s, i know, i know. but hearing that installing linux voids hardware gurantee really set me off.
[11:13] <sameh> lunix mint butld in ubunu
[11:13] <ubukou> ezra-s, You are right
[11:13] <ezra-s> ubukou, I understand the feeling
[11:13] <lasers> basss: Can you paste your server's /etc/passwd?
[11:13] <DJones> sameh: It may be, but its not a supported version of Ubuntu
[11:13] <marianne_> ubukou: can you connect the laptop to a different monitor and see if the screen comes up? I have installed ubuntu on different sony laptops and it's always the 'additional drivers' that need to be loaded
[11:14] <sameh> ??? so how can i get help
[11:14] <mar77i> ubukou: as long as you're good enough to fix your machine anyway. when things break you're at least allowed to use a soldering iron now :)
[11:14] <michael87> bekks, indeed. so just curios how do you feel about 13.04? you sticking with lts till next release. I can understand and admire that. I am sort of a linux newb. but I've learned alot. I am fasinated that it can run on so many devices. and heck nasa uses it.
[11:14] <lasers> sameh: Join #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[11:14] <bekks> sameh: "Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org"
[11:14] <DJones> sameh: See what Ubottu said, that tells you were to get support for Mint
[11:15] <bekks> michael87: My feelings about ubuntu are offtopic for this supportc channel.
[11:15] <ezra-s> ubukou, next time answer, "oh really? I'll make sure not to buy  Sony ever again", chances are she may write it down and that might reach someone higher...
[11:15] <ezra-s> :)
[11:15] <sameh> ok thx u i will now
[11:15] <michael87> bekks, oh. well how do I get to the general ubuntu chat via xchat?
[11:15] <bekks> !ot | michael87
[11:16] <jrib> michael87: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:16] <michael87> thank you :)
[11:17] <basss> lasers: just solved it, i created a user using useradd rather than adduser. Thanks anw :)
[11:17] <lasers> basss: No problem.
[11:19] <mar77i> does anyone know how I could set both my monitors to the same frequency?
[11:19] <mar77i> I have two monitors, and both are on 60hz, well, not exactly 60hz, the one on the left is set to 59.9 and every now and then it just drops a frame
[11:20] <lasers> mar77i: Xorg conf, maybe?
[11:20] <lasers> !xorg conf
[11:21] <ubukou> marianne, ezra-s i did say that. she talked to me like i opened tha laptop and banged it with a hammer. all because i formated the hd
[11:21] <lasers> !xorgconf
[11:21] <ubukou> ezra-s, thing is that they want me to pay 80 euros and buy the recovery disks to take the laptop to its previous state.
[11:21] <ezra-s> ubukou, ignorance reigns helpdesk support
[11:22] <suigenerus> hi
[11:23] <suigenerus> all of sudden, I've been getting errors like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Foto%2011.06.2013%2014%2012%2013.jpg . any ideas?
[11:23] <ubukou> ezra-s, hahahahaha. has any one encoutered blue screen during the windows installation? i know its not linux related but the fact that a clean linux install crashed like that is something that i have not seen before and it leads me to think that it is hardware related.
[11:23] <suigenerus> I'm on LiveCD now
[11:23] <mar77i> is there a way to create a xorg.conf from the current config?
[11:23] <ubukou> ezra-s, really sad techinical support.
[11:24] <bekks> ubukou: Then finally: follow the clue ubottu gave you instead continuing rantong on Sony.
[11:24] <lasers> suigenerus: This happen every time you reboot or what?
[11:24] <jj123> how can I get the .config file used to build my kernel? (I'm actually looking for the .config for linux-image-powerpc-e500mc)
[11:24] <ezra-s> ubukou, maybe hdd is failing or memory fault
[11:25] <ezra-s> ubukou, load a ubuntu/debian live disk, go resecue, do a mem test
[11:25] <suigenerus> lasers: everytime for the past 3-4 times
[11:25] <ubukou> ezra-s, good idea. bekks: i know i sound like an a** but i ve been on the phone for hours :) thanks all for the help...
[11:26] <lasers> suigeneris: "lspci | grep -i vga"
[11:26] <bekks> ubukou: Well, then just stop it and continue to get Ubuntu up and running?
[11:26] <suigeneris> lasers: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400] (rev a1)
[11:26] <ubukou> bekks, will do as soon as my gf brings me that laptop.
[11:27] <catphish> is there an ETA for any official ubuntu mobile releases?
[11:27] <acerimmer_> !touch|catphish,
[11:27] <lasers> suigeneris: In that case, you might want to install nvidia blob instead of using nouveau (or whatever your display is using).
[11:27] <ubukou> bekks, the fact that it had this problem form day one makes me think i ll have to give it to sony for hardware repair and i have to pay 80 for trying to fix it :(
[11:27] <ezra-s> ubukou, probably in the live/rescue disk something may get spit out in dmesg if there is something really wrong in the hardware
[11:27] <catphish> acerimmer_: thanks
[11:28] <ezra-s> ubukou, with hdparm you can test the hdd a bit too I believe
[11:28] <bekks> ubukou: It makes me think you dont want to stop being offtopic in here.
[11:28] <lasers> suigeneris: "lsmod | grep ^n"
[11:28] <marianne_> ubukou: I stepped away for a minute... what is the make and model of the laptop?
[11:29] <sandesh> hi
[11:29] <foo357> Hello, I ran a package update and something broke with the packages
[11:30] <ubukou> marianne, let me check .
[11:30] <sandesh> exit
[11:30] <bgardner> foo357: What message are you getting?
[11:30] <foo357> I remember that there's some command to check the status (and also possibly to fix it)
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> foo357: sudo apt-get -f install
[11:31] <suigeneris> lasers: nls_utf8               12493  1  nouveau               823577  3. it seems I've  been using nouveau. how do I get my OS to use nvidia?
[11:31] <bekks> !nvidia | suigeneris
[11:32] <bekks> suigeneris: You will have to use a driver version =< 173, since higher versions will not work with your 8400.
[11:32] <mar77i> !radeon
[11:33] <ubukou> marianne, my gf had no idea and the laptop is at home. thanks tho . if there is a place to find those disks for free i would love a link or something. thanks you for a ll the help.i do realize is was a bit off topic, sorry for that bekks , ezra-s thanks for the suggestions, i ll try them
[11:34] <suigeneris> bekks: will it be okay if I get nvidia-current?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5754578  :)
[11:34] <ezra-s> good luck
[11:34] <ubukou> ezra-s, thanks.
[11:34] <suigeneris> oh, misread
[11:34] <marianne_> the make and model is usually located on the top for the keyboard...and also on a tag on the bottom (but the tag wears out, so the info along the top is better)
[11:35] <bekks> suigeneris: if it is a version =< 173, yes. If it is a higher version, no.
[11:35] <bekks> ActionParsnip: yay :)
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> bekks: works here :)
[11:36] <ubukou> marianne, wish i had the laptop with me.thanks for the info.
[11:36] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Using a 8400?
[11:36] <marianne_> ubukou: I'm usually lurking here... if you want to give it a try jusy PM me
[11:37] <suigeneris> bekks: it says Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 but it is not installable
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> bekks: 6150
[11:38] <ubukou> marianne, great, means a lot to me. i wanted to help my gf and i ended up making it worse.
[11:39] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Ah ok :)
[11:39] <halides> hi
[11:40] <lasers> ubukou: You formatted your girlfriend's data?
[11:40] <halides> i'd like to disable my ATI HDMI audio
[11:40] <suigeneris> !chroot
[11:40] <ubukou> lasers, no, nothing like that.
[11:40] <halides> it's using snd_hda_intel as it's driver, which is what the mobo-onboard sound card also uses, so i don't want to blacklist that
[11:41] <halides> any tips?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: use your backups then, simples
[11:41] <hi_> HI ALL
[11:42] <suigeneris> !grub
[11:42] <hi_> i new to ubuntu  aand i was wonder why UBUNTU
[11:42] <lasers> !ubuntu | hi_
[11:42] <lasers> (Erm, wrong factoid?)
[11:43] <ranjan> Hi all, is there anyone who uses MAAS in this channel?
[11:43] <ranjan> i have some doubt
[11:43] <lasers> hi_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)
[11:46] <suigeneris> it seems I couldn't install nvidia-173 because I was using sudo and not in the chroot
[11:47] <suigeneris> argh. Errors were encountered while processing:  nvidia-173 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:47] <suigeneris> why me, god? why me?
[11:47] <lasers> suigeneris: Can't you reboot instead of using LiveCD and fix it from there?
[11:48] <lasers> suigeneris: Using nvidia blob for nvidia card is very common.  THANK YOU
[11:49] <bekks> hi_: We can read lowercase too.
[11:49] <sameh__> ????? lunixmint 15 not support ???? i have Problem in the definition VGA in linux VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[11:49] <lasers> suigeneris: You probably can (but does not know how). Are you familiar with apt-get/aptitude? Installing stuffs via commandline? Fixing stuffs via nano?
[11:49] <bekks> hi_: And watch your language please.
[11:49] <DJones> sameh__: We still don't support Mint in t5his channel
[11:49] <suigeneris> lasers: yep
[11:49] <hi_> cap were ment for agervation
[11:49] <hi_> perpisces only
[11:49] <lasers> suigeneris: Okay. Great. What about TTY?
[11:50] <foo357> bgardner: this is what apt-get -f install reports pastebin.com/T0Raa7nD
[11:50] <suigeneris> lasers: I have a xorg.conf.failsafe. do you mean the shell by TTY?
[11:50] <bekks> hi_: So whats the actual problem you are facing? I am refusing to read your rant above.
[11:50] <lasers> suigeneris: Yes. That TTY.
[11:50] <hi_> my orogrames open up slowly
[11:50] <suigeneris> yes
[11:50] <suigeneris> lasers: yes
[11:51] <hi_> and i feel like at time i just want to blow my brains out
[11:51] <foo357> bgardner: at a glance it seems as if two packages include a .so file and this causes trouble
[11:51] <Kh4xToR> hi_, can you leave the part of "blowing your brains out" out the equation for now please?
[11:51] <hi_> ok
[11:51] <lasers> suigeneris: Okay. Go there. Read !nvidia. You want to install nvidia, nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig. And then do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" -- That should generate a new xorg.conf -- then you reboot.
[11:52] <hi_> i was jking
[11:52] <lasers> suigeneris: "nvidia" being your chosen nvidia version.
[11:52] <Kh4xToR> hi_, are you using ubuntu the OS ?
[11:52] <bgardner> foo357: I agree, what is that mypackage it references, have you been building packages?
[11:52] <hi_> yes it my amin os
[11:52] <hi_> not jointed with WINDOWS OS
[11:52] <foo357> bgardner: no it's supplied by a commercial company
[11:52] <Kh4xToR> hi_, what is your PC/Laptop stats?
[11:53] <hi_> laptop
[11:53] <hi_> dell isperion 9400
[11:53] <suigeneris> lasers: nvidia-xconfig not located
[11:53] <Kh4xToR> hi_: specifications of your laptop?
[11:53] <hi_> ????
[11:53] <lasers> suigeneris: "aptitude search nvidia-x"
[11:54] <hi_> oh about that it has init
[11:54] <Kh4xToR> hi_ : RAM? ROM? Processor ? etc..
[11:54] <hi_> it ten year old or a little older
[11:54] <bgardner> foo357: So it's not an Ubuntu-supplied package?
[11:54] <foo357> bgardner: anyway, it's no problem to remove these "mypackage" packages, but when I try to do so through "apt-get --force-yes remove" something fails.
[11:54] <Anil-Bafila> i am unable to control Adobe flash player can anyone tell me how to solve it
[11:54] <bgardner> foo357: Okay, so us what the error messages are when you do that.

[11:56] <Kh4xToR> Anil-Bafila give me a moment
[11:56] <lasers> !remaster | nickgermaine
[11:56] <foo357> bgardner: I get some amounts of output about unmet dependencies, can I force apt-get to ingore this?
[11:56] <nickgermaine> well I'm not forking, I'm going from scratch really
[11:56] <hi_> gaibe me an hour to fing you name lol
[11:57] <bekks> ubukou: There is no need to contact me outside this channel, especially not in an unasked query.
[11:57] <bgardner> foo357: Go ahead and pastebin it up, it's hard to guess at what the root cause is without it.
[11:57] <Kh4xToR> hi_ : I will be done with lunch then sounds good
[11:57] <suigeneris> lasers: still Errors were encountered while processing:  nvidia-173 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:58] <ubukou> bekks,  hey there, sorry for being a bit off topic. its just that i ve been using linux for years and i feel really confortable with users of ubuntu to ask some things. just as confortable as i am helping people in here.have a great day.
