[00:00] <raven_> i just need the option to reset it then i would like to experiment ;)
[00:00] <pragmaticenigma> raven_: What your doing is trying to send out a request on one connection, but expect the response on another
[00:00] <danito> which partition format is close to xfs or xcf or something like that. I cannot remember and I was told that may be the partition format I am looking for
[00:00] <raven_> yes
[00:00] <qin> raven_: you can bind application to interface
[00:00] <pragmaticenigma> danito: JFS is a close cousin
[00:02] <alien64> danito: nfs ?
[00:02] <danito> alien64: no, definitely not nfs
[00:03] <rypervenche> zfs?
[00:03] <pragmaticenigma> alien64: NFS is for network file system, allowing a computer to use the file system on a remote computer
[00:03] <pragmaticenigma> danito: there are a lot of file systems out there that are similar to XFS... it might help to tell us what specific features your looking for
[00:04] <alien64> pragmaticenigma: this i know
[00:04] <kahlan> hey
[00:04] <Serpiente> solved my issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12633884/squid3-cant-access-google-com-or-bing-com
[00:05] <danito> pragmaticenigma: I want a partition format that can hold files larger than 4gb and works as natively as possible with raid 1 arrays. I plan to use the raid 1 array as a storage server
[00:07] <pragmaticenigma> almost all mainstream linux file systems support files sizes over 4GB.  (Only really obscure ones don't)  Raid arrays, unless software driven (not recommended) are independent of the file system.
[00:07] <keith_> Hi. I play a game called Second Life. I have downloaded 3 different viewers for this game, and none of them are working. I am brand new to Ubuntu, and I don't know what I am doing. Can anyone help me, please?
[00:08] <danito> pragmaticenigma: i am using a netbook as a small server at home so my raid array was bild with mdadm
[00:08] <SonikkuAmerica> keith_: I've heard of Second Life. Probably one of the most brilliant pioneers of A-Life programming.
[00:08] <SonikkuAmerica> keith_: Which viewers are you using?
[00:09] <keith_> I have Firestorm, Exodus and The LL Official Viewers Downloaded. When I try to run them through the terminal, it tells me that I have to install the 32bit libraries. I am so confused. I havent done this much Command Line Stuff since DOS 6.22 lol
[00:11] <jrib> keith_: do you know what libraries...?
[00:11] <keith_> I can try to re run them again.
[00:12] <jrib> keith_: ia32-libs-multiarch is a package that install some pretty common ones.  If you don't mind installing more than exactly what you need, you can try that
[00:12] <keith_> I have exactly what it is telling me in the terminal window, if you would like me to post it in the chat I can, but it is about 20 Lines or so.

[00:21] <acovrig> Has anyone gotten ubuntu 12 or 13 on a MacbookPro 9,? - I can't seem to get it to work...
[00:22] <SonikkuAmerica> !mac
[00:24] <SonikkuAmerica> acovrig: In most cases, we're talking Intel Macs (amd64+mac)
[00:26] <acovrig> SonikkuAmerica, that page doesn't help given I have a 9,? system, the page only goes up to 8,3; I am trying to boot from a ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amx64+mac.iso (via a DVD)
[00:27] <acovrig> My system is a MacBook Pro 9,1
[00:27] <Fenb> i have heard that nvidia driver support the hybrid graphics
[00:29] <vith> is there a way to get the Software Updater window to actually show the package names that it wants to update instead of vague titles?
[00:31] <trism> vith: gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-manager summary-before-name false; perhaps
[00:35] <SonikkuAmerica> acovrig: What happens when you try to boot up?
[00:35] <vith> that didn't seem to do it but i'm trying some of the other keys now
[00:35] <acovrig> I get a black screen with a single _ and the system doesn't respond
[00:35] <SonikkuAmerica> acovrig: From the Live image?
[00:36] <vith> hmm nope, show-versions didn't help either
[00:36] <acovrig> I had successfully installed with rEFIt, but am wanting to reinstall directly using EFI (instead of using rEFIt) because I currently can't use my integrated graphics, so my battery lasts 1/3 what it should...
[00:36] <acovrig> yes, from the liveCD
[00:36] <SonikkuAmerica> !efi
[00:37] <acovrig> been to that page, it isn't helping me
[00:38] <multi-d> i wonder what repo i need to have set up to download "lubuntu-core" with apt? Or where can I find the answer?
[00:39] <SonikkuAmerica> multi-d: Huh? The LXDE core or the Lubuntu desktop?
[00:40] <multi-d> lxde core
[00:40] <SonikkuAmerica> multi-d: [ sudo apt-get install lxde ]
[00:40] <SonikkuAmerica> acovrig: It's altogether possible that the rEFIt configuration is the only way to set up a 9,x. I can't be too sure, I can only tell you what the wiki says; I don't own a Mac.
[00:40] <multi-d> thank you, SonikkuAmerica
[00:41] <SonikkuAmerica> acovrig: If your Live image is Ubuntu with Unity, and you're concerned about power usage, try a Lubuntu Mac image.
[00:44] <maelstorm> ok i'm about to give up on ubuntu with an nvidia gtx460SE.  I've noticed if i don't load any drivers it's still doing this damn bug.  If i open firefox i can't click on anything in fire fox.  if i hit alt-h i can BUT i can't click on anything ealse. if i download a file or anything that pops up a new window on top the mouse clicks right throug it onto firefox.  this is massively pissing me off
[00:44] <maelstorm> now lol.  anyone know what it could be? i even tried without loading any of the proprietary drivers and it's still doing it.
[00:44] <orangecat> Anyone knows a good noob friendly guide on how to setup my home PC as a VPN using OpenVPN?
[00:44] <multi-d> SonikkuAmerica: doesn't installing the lubuntu-core automatically default to using LXDE as the desktop? I mean, what is a Lubuntu desktop if it is not LXDE anyway?
[00:45] <jrib> !openvpn | orangecat
[00:45] <jrib> :(
[00:45] <SonikkuAmerica> multi-d: You'd be surprised what's built on Lubuntu.
[00:45] <jrib> orangecat: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN
[00:45] <orangecat> lubuntu desktop is a modified version of lxde.
[00:45] <multi-d> right.  :)
[00:46] <rti^> maelstorm I installed the ATI drivers and it killed my ubuntu install
[00:47] <maelstorm> well i dont' think ati drivers would work at all with a nvidia card
[00:47] <Ari-Yang> rti^, you mean flgrx?
[00:47] <multi-d> mostly I am talking about the set of programs and features that come with the metapackage called lubuntu-core
[00:47] <Ari-Yang> oh.... that might have been it.  I was under the impression they were from the manu but I guess I should've read more closely.
[00:49] <maelstorm> so anyone actually get ubuntu to play nice with an nvidia card and 12.04??
[00:49] <multi-d> i just installed a base system with CLI only. when I tried downloading with this command: "apt-get install lubuntu-core", apt could not find it. so, i need to find the name of the repo that carries it and set it up for access first.
[00:52] <maelstorm> meh i think i'll give mint a try and if that doesn't work check back in another year see if it's been fixed then
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> multi-d, It is lubuntu-desktop
[00:55] <wilee-nilee> however I see lubuntu-core in my 13.04 synaptic
[00:55] <multi-d> wilee-nilee: not according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall. Look at the section labeled "Installation", in which there is a distinction made between them.
[00:56] <minimec> Sorry to bother you with that. Is there a way to make (that 'horrible software') Rhythmbox play the Music lens results in 13.04. I mean the default music player should be able to play results of a default unity lens...
[00:57] <multi-d> wilee-nilee: can you tell me which repo that lubuntu-core is supposed to be in by looking at your program?
[00:57] <wilee-nilee> multi-d, Should be in the man repos
[00:57] <wilee-nilee> main*
[00:57] <hamza> hello all, i think my graphics card may be overheating when playing steam games (doesn't do it on windows), how can i debug what's really going on?
[00:59] <Ari-Yang> hamza, what card you have?
[00:59] <Ari-Yang> ati? nividia?
[01:00] <Ari-Yang> perhaps checking out either one's proprietary drivers (depending on what you have)?
[01:00] <minimec> hamza: Do you have temerature information about your GPU?  Know if I can restore KDE to default without hurting the rest of my system. I have a problem with my themes. I installed a dark theme and now a few icons are hardly visible and Mozilla is showing web forms and the text I type in a way that's hard to see.
[01:04] <hamza> i have an intel chip
[01:06] <gothpaw> if I am watching a stream in my browser on my TV via HDMI how can I keep the stream "FULL Screen" while I do stuff on the other workspaces? Every time I click on anything on a workspace that is NOT the TV the stream minimizes by itself
[01:06] <minimec> gothpaw: Flash?
[01:06] <SonikkuAmerica> gothpaw: That's really only feasible using GNOME 3; do you have it?
[01:07] <steveg__> ok.. ubuntu 13.04.. this is driving me crazy.. have a HTC smartphone.. not paired with my laptop, bluetooth turned off.. but when my cell phone rings.. my laptop "rings" also.. nothing else.. no indicators flashing, no pop up.. juts a.. ring.. cell phone stops, ringoing on the laptop stops...
[01:08] <gothpaw> minimec: I imagine a lot of them are flash.
[01:09] <minimec> gothpaw: This is still working in 12.04 - 13.04. You hack the flash library. I use that on my dual screen setup. http://www.ubunturoot.com/2011/07/fullscreen-flash-video-with-dual.html
[01:09] <SonikkuAmerica> gothpaw: If you don't have GNOME 3.6 or higher, good luck. In gnome-tweak-tool you can set "Workspaces on primary monitor only" to on and have static environments in the rest of them.
[01:11] <danito> is there an advantage on ext4 over ext3 partitions for a file server?
[01:16] <gothpaw> minimec: most excellent: Thanks
[01:17] <minimec> gothpaw: No problem, I ws As happy as you are right now, when I found that tutorial... ;)
[01:28] <SonikkuAmerica> !netsplit
[01:28] <sunson> How exactly does screen handle detach/reattach? When we do Ctrl+a+d, what exactly happens? When we do screen -d -RR, what happens? Any pointers? (a walkthrough mentioning key system calls being made will be helpful)
[01:28] <vfw> Not much of a show from here.
[01:29] <Inv1s1ble> sunson, I think it uses sockets
[01:29] <Inv1s1ble> it creates a socket in /tmp and when you do a re-attach, it looks for those sockets and tries to attach to them
[01:29] <Inv1s1ble> not 100% about that
[01:29] <ricardo_> hi
[01:30] <LordSesshomaru> Hey all, is it possible to ditch Unity and give Ubuntu 12.04 the same look and feel as the older versions of Ubuntu?
[01:30] <xangua> !classic | LordSesshomaru
[01:31] <SonikkuAmerica> xangua: That factoid is OH SO outdated.
[01:31] <LordSesshomaru> !nounity
[01:31] <ZachNood> How come linux mint took over ubuntu in popularity
[01:32] <SonikkuAmerica> LordSesshomaru: GNOME 3 Fallback is actually dead now, but it's still in the repos.
[01:32] <xangua> SonikkuAmerica: then someone should remove it :P
[01:32] <xangua> SonikkuAmerica: it was announced dead since gnome3 was released...
[01:33] <LordSesshomaru> Yeah, I just upgraded from 10.10 on a new machine and Unity IMHO sucks
[01:33] <SonikkuAmerica> xangua: No, fallback was deprecated in 3.8, for classic mode.
[01:33] <SonikkuAmerica> !ot | ZachNood
[01:33] <vfw> LordSesshomaru: Unity is one of several Desktop Environments.  If you don't like it, don't use it.
[01:34] <Tex_Nick> LordSesshomaru:  with 12.04 you could use gnome classic desktop or xxce
[01:34] <Tex_Nick> xfce ^
[01:34] <FastZ> I like Unity, personally. I have used Linux of different flavors since 2005 and always favored Gnome, but I've taken quite a liking to Unity.
[01:34] <LordSesshomaru> I'm downloading the gnome-shell package.
[01:34] <LordSesshomaru> FastZ: It reminds me too much of OS X
[01:35] <FastZ> Maybe that's why I like it. My main computer at home is a Mac
[01:35] <sarge1221> I was wondering if someone knew away I could specify language locale settings inside a wine prefix?
[01:35] <ZachNood> You are all just puppets to Mark shuttleworths attempt at making money. Ubuntu is a fad that is slowely dying.
[01:35] <FastZ> lol
[01:36] <vfw> Our choices of Desktop Environments are a matter of opinion. I might like to wear a blue shirt while my neighbor likes his green one.
[01:36] <FastZ> where did you hear that Mint is more popular than Ubuntu, ZachNood
[01:36] <LordSesshomaru> FastZ: yeah, I'm a PC man through and through.
[01:36] <MasterShake> hello
[01:36] <Tex_Nick> LordSesshomaru:  I used "Gnome Classic" on 12.04 & 12.10 ... I loved it ... 13.04 no longer supports "Gnome Classic" ... only "Gnome Fallbac" :-(
[01:37] <FastZ> After being in IT for the past 10 years maintaining Windows machines, I tend to favor anything but PCs
[01:37] <MasterShake> im trying to complie something from source but keep getting this error message, can anyone help?
[01:37] <FastZ> what error, MasterShake
[01:37] <MasterShake> FastZ: checking for EXTRA... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.6 pidgin >= 2.0 purple >= 2.0) were not met:
[01:37] <ZachNood> I heard it on the grape vine
[01:37] <MasterShake> i am trying to install a plugin for pidgin
[01:38] <MasterShake> and when i ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install that's the error i get
[01:38] <vfw> ZachNood: Ubuntu Support here (not grape vine).
[01:38] <LordSesshomaru>  also does anybody know how to make the Dell Optiplex GX620 run resolutions higher than 1024x768 (preferably 1360x768)?
[01:38] <vfw> LordSesshomaru: xrandr
[01:38] <ZachNood> ok
[01:39] <FastZ> MasterShake, if i remember correctly, you need to install the build tools. sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:39] <elisa87> I am trying to use Linux Perf and I am receiving this error: file perf.data not owned by current user or root
[01:40] <adamk> LordSesshomaru: What GPU does that computer have?
[01:40] <FastZ> or maybe i read your error message incorrectly, MasterShake
[01:40] <sarge1221> Anyone know how i can setup a custom language locale inside a wineprefix?
[01:40] <shodan45> is there a package that has the pxelinux.0 file? or should I just download it from (for example) http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/pxelinux.0 ?
[01:41] <MasterShake> FastZ: i already have ran that command and installed successfully
[01:41] <th0r> Mastershake: you probably need the -dev packages for the four things listed in the error
[01:42] <FastZ> ^^^
[01:42] <LordSesshomaru> adamk: an intel GMA, I think a 950
[01:42] <MasterShake> okay, where are they /?
[01:42] <ZachNood> I'm looking for a Gay rights ubuntu version flavour, is there one avaiable?
[01:43] <th0r> Mastershake: should be in the repos
[01:43] <adamk> LordSesshomaru: And does 'xrandr' only list up to 1024x768?
[01:43] <MasterShake> so then i just apt-get update?
[01:43] <Tex_Nick> ZachNood:  'Gay rights" ???
[01:44] <IdleOne> !guidelines
[01:44] <LordSesshomaru> adamk: yes, and 800x600 as well as 640x480
[01:44] <LordSesshomaru> adamk: it is an intel GMA 950
[01:44] <ZachNood> Yes babe gay rights! like step up and make a junk version for fags like me
[01:44] <vfw> LordSesshomaru: grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:45] <th0r> MasterShake: no, look for pidgin-dev, purple-dev (or libpurple-dev) etc
[01:45] <sarge1221> if only ubottu did links for any and all inquiries. >_>
[01:45] <adamk> LordSesshomaru: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.
[01:45] <vfw> LordSesshomaru: (See what driver you are using)
[01:46] <MasterShake> th0r: yup, just did an apt-get install pidgin-dev and its installing, lets see what happens afterwards.
[01:46] <vfw> LordSesshomaru: Or, as adamk suggests show us.  pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log  #Show us URL
[01:46] <sarge1221> Anyone know how i can setup a custom language locale inside a wineprefix?
[01:46] <MasterShake> UGH!!! "configure: error: The intltool scripts were not found. Please install intltool.

[01:49] <wilee-nilee> sarge1221, Have you asked at #winehq
[01:49] <sarge1221> *it was wineHQ's idea to try here before anyone makes a snide remark or doesn't*
[01:50] <IsaacLewis> Can someone help me, please?
[01:50] <adamk> IsaacLewis: we can only help if you ask an actual question.
[01:51] <etek> Does anyone have a fix for the 64 bit ubuntu 12.10 install disc? It always ejects it and restarts....
[01:51] <LordSesshomaru> adamk: hang on, I'm gonna switch from a TTY to a terminal
[01:51] <Fenb> are there anyway i can see what apps i have installed? im trying to clean my computer :]
[01:51] <etek> Dash home...
[01:51] <IsaacLewis> My package installer for ubuntu 12.04 isn't working
[01:51] <LordSesshomaru1> adamk: http://pastebin.com/xmBC6JPu
[01:52] <IsaacLewis> when I try to use it it won't install anything, it says that it is broken
[01:52] <vfw> Fenb: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list
[01:52] <IsaacLewis> I mean the software center
[01:52] <etek> Or /usr/share/application
[01:53] <vfw> IsaacLewis: Is it giving some sort of error?
[01:53] <adamk> LordSesshomaru1: I asked for the full xorg log file.
[01:53] <LordSesshomaru1> adamk: let me pastebin it
[01:54] <IsaacLewis> yes, whenever I try to use it it says: Items cannot be installed until the package catalog is repaired
[01:54] <vfw> IsaacLewis: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[01:54] <IsaacLewis> 12.04
[01:54] <vfw> IsaacLewis: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:55] <IsaacLewis> okay
[01:55] <minimec> IsaacLewis: <ctrl><atl>t to open a terminal. then we first try to 'sudo apt-get update' the sources. Let's see if we get an error message.
[01:55] <vfw> IsaacLewis: Let us know if you get error(s).
[01:56] <IsaacLewis> didn't have any errors
[01:56] <IsaacLewis> from sudo apt-get update
[01:56] <LordSesshomaru1> adamk: http://pastebin.com/UE8v3gXz
[01:56] <vfw> IsaacLewis: Good..
[01:56] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Ok then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[01:56] <IsaacLewis> okay
[01:57] <etek> (etek) Does anyone have a fix for the 64 bit ubuntu 12.10 install disc? It always ejects it and restarts....
[01:57] <IsaacLewis> it says "E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f"
[01:58] <etek> Uh then as
[01:58] <etek> Add -f
[01:58] <vfw> etek:  So you think the ISO you have is defective?  If so, run a checksum against it and google it
[01:58] <FastZ> IsaacLewis, run apt-get -f install
[01:58] <wilee-nilee> IsaacLewis, try sudo apt-get -f install the the update and upgrade
[01:58] <wilee-nilee> *then
[01:59] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Ok. Now I would like to ask you a question. Did you add a ppa or install some software form other sources, before having the 'unmet dependencies' problem?
[01:59] <etek> Possibly...it will go down for reboot the second i hit install.
[01:59] <IsaacLewis> I upgraded the version of ubuntu to 12.04 and then software center stopped working and stuff like that
[02:00] <FastZ> etek, you might want to check the iso you burned to disc against the checksum to make sure it downloaded properly
[02:00] <minimec> IsaacLewis: So you were on 11.10 and upgraded to 12.04
[02:00] <vfw> IsaacLewis: WHat happened when you ran  sudo apt-get -f install ?
[02:00] <IsaacLewis> no, I was on 10.04
[02:00] <IsaacLewis> vfw: didn't try it yet
[02:00] <etek> i burned the disk awhile ago...
[02:00] <vfw> IsaacLewis: Do it.
[02:01] <Inv1s1ble> when using dpkg -b to create a package, how do I get it to not package .gitignore files?
[02:01] <vfw> etek: md5sum it.  Google the result
[02:01] <etek> Kk
[02:01] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Ok. LTS upgrade is possible... Try to do the 'sudo apt-get -f install' option.
[02:02] <IsaacLewis> jsut a sec
[02:02] <IsaacLewis> just

[02:06] <vfw> IsaacLewis: Which user are you logged in as?  (The one that was created when you first installed?
[02:06] <IsaacLewis> yes, the one I created when I first installed
[02:06] <samuraibsd> Tried that. I'm no noobs to linux
[02:06] <somsip> samuraibsd: ah - I didn't expect the factoid to be so specific. Maybe doesn't apply
[02:07] <minimec> IsaacLewis: It should also give you the info, which package is missing dependencies.
[02:07] <IsaacLewis> minimec: it only does that on synaptic I think, and it's multiple packages
[02:07] <minimec> thurstylark: Never tried that, but once you chose the aoolication in the preferences, it should do.
[02:08] <thurstylark> minimec: Yeah, but there's no option for vnc links
[02:08] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Do you have synaptic installed? can you open it. Maybe we can remove the 'broken' packages.
[02:08] <IsaacLewis> I do
[02:08] <IsaacLewis> and I'll try that
[02:09] <IsaacLewis> synaptic won't open
[02:09] <vfw> IsaacLewis: I think you need to give is more of the output.  Can you paste the full output, (the lines before what you gave us).
[02:10] <minimec> thurstylark: 'right click' on the link, then 'open with application'...
[02:10] <IsaacLewis> there are a lot, it would spam the chat
[02:10] <vfw> !paste
[02:11] <thurstylark> minimec: I don't have that option
[02:11] <minimec> IsaacLewis: I agree with vfw ... We need the output..
[02:13] <IsaacLewis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5756877/ << this is the link for the paste
[02:13] <minimec> thurstylark: If you are in that 'application' section in the 'preferences', click the help button... It's 'open with:', they say ;)
[02:16] <thurstylark> minimec: this is a link in a webpage in firefox that I'm working with
[02:17] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Ok. I guess we will get it done... your '/var/lib/dpkg/status' file is broken. Open the terminal and 'sudo nautilus --no-desktop /var/lib/dpkg'. You will find a 'status' and a 'status-old' file. Rename or delete 'status' and make a copy of 'status-old' with the name 'status'.
[02:17] <minimec> IsaacLewis: These files are created automatically by the package system. 'status-old' should be the 'last working' one.
[02:18] <IsaacLewis> so delete status?
[02:18] <IsaacLewis> and copy status-old?
[02:18] <thurstylark> Anyone else know how to teach firefox how to handle vnc:// links?
[02:19] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Well it's broken.. still I normally just rename such files as 'status.broken' or so.
[02:19] <minimec> IsaacLewis: To be sure, also make a copy of 'status-old' with another name, maybe.
[02:19] <IsaacLewis> I just copied status-old
[02:19] <IsaacLewis> and renamed it as status
[02:20] <phunyguy> anyone know of a way in 13.04 to hide a tray icon? I have one that I want running in the background, but I wan't the icon gone to reduce confusion.  There is no way to tell it not to display a tray icon in the app itself (skype)
[02:20] <vfw> thurstylark: vncviewer
[02:20] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Ok. Now 'sudo apt-get update' again...
[02:20] <phunyguy> I use the Pidgin plugin, so I don't need skype visible
[02:22] <IsaacLewis> did sudo apt-get update
[02:22] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Cross your fingers and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ...
[02:22] <IsaacLewis> I think it's already fixed
[02:22] <kostkon> phunyguy, try removing the sni-qt package, although by doing so you will disable indicator support for all of your qt based apps.
[02:22] <IsaacLewis> it doesn't show the error message
[02:23] <thurstylark> vfw: ...what about it.
[02:23] <Smrtz> Can someone help me figure out how to install this of the git repo please? https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi.git
[02:23] <phunyguy> kostkon: I don't want to do that
[02:23] <Smrtz> I'm getting error 2 at maek
[02:23] <Smrtz> make*
[02:23] <phunyguy> kostkon: probably not a good suggestion..... :)
[02:23] <IsaacLewis> it's upgradi ng
[02:23] <phunyguy> Smrtz: would help to paste the error output
[02:23] <phunyguy> pastebin***
[02:24] <phunyguy> !paste | Smrtz
[02:24] <Smrtz> pastebin.com/9CNeRmue, phunyguy, I was doing that, lol.
[02:24] <minimec> IsaacLewis: Can we assume that you are happy now?
[02:24] <vfw> thurstylark: http://www.tightvnc.com/
[02:24] <IsaacLewis> yeah :D
[02:25] <vfw> thurstylark: You'll find it in the package manager
[02:25] <featurednetwork> where are the file associated with huawei 3g modem in ubuntu
[02:25] <kostkon> phunyguy, do you have other qt apps that you definitely need their icon in the tray? sni-qt doesn't have any dependencies, so it's safe to remove
[02:25] <phunyguy> kostkon: yes.
[02:26] <kostkon> phunyguy, which one :P
[02:26] <thurstylark> vfw: dude, I know how to do vnc. I have a vnc viewer. I need to know how to tell firefox to use it to open a vnc:// link
[02:26] <phunyguy> ubuntu-one?
[02:26] <kostkon> phunyguy, juyst wondering
[02:26] <phunyguy> (qt-based)  :)
[02:26] <featurednetwork> anyone know how to  check if your 3g modem is compromised ?
[02:26] <phunyguy> and hopefully Quassel gets fixed soon, the icon doesn't work for quassel currently in Unity.
[02:26] <phunyguy> Wish it did :(
[02:27] <kostkon> phunyguy, u1 doesn't need sni=qt
[02:27] <vfw> thurstylark: Be specific.  (What vnc link?)
[02:27] <Smrtz> phunyguy, any ideas?
[02:27] <phunyguy> !patience | Smrtz, I am looking
[02:27] <kostkon> phunyguy, it's a qt app yes, but it creates it's own indicator icon
[02:28] <phunyguy> Smrtz: looks like you are missing som dev libs, like gtk, and the like.
[02:28] <phunyguy> Smrtz: was there a howto for the app you are trying to compile?
[02:28] <thurstylark> vfw: I'm not going to give you the IP address of my vnc server.
[02:28] <vfw> !vnc | thurstylark
[02:28] <Smrtz> yeah, but it's really basic:  http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Installation#Getting_the_Source_Code  phunyguy
[02:28] <phunyguy> kostkon: I really just want to disable to Skype icon, not remove all qt indicators (even though I don't use many
[02:29] <featurednetwork> is it possible to run rkhunter in live cd
[02:29] <vfw> thurstylark: You don't do it with firefox, (you do it with vncviewer).
[02:29] <phunyguy> Smrtz: I would target the author of the app for support.
[02:29] <phunyguy> Smrtz: it is beyond the scope of this channel unless someone really wants to put in some time
[02:29] <Smrtz> ok, thanks, phunyguy
[02:31] <Ububegin> how to modify bash prompt... so that username@laptop:~ ...
[02:32] <vfw> thurstylark: /join #firefox
[02:32] <dr_willis> Ububegin:  Check the  bash prompt howto   at  tldp.org
[02:33] <dr_willis> Ububegin:  what is your prompt now?
[02:33] <kostkon> phunyguy, you'll only remove the qt tray icons that were converted to indicators by sni-qt, definitely not all the qt indicators. Many recent qt apps work just fine, they don't need sni-qt, they create their own indicator icon.
[02:33] <phunyguy> kostkon: perhaps it is worth a try.  Worst case, I reinstall it.  Thanks
[02:35] <phunyguy> kostkon: icon is still there... logged out and back in
[02:35] <nhodges> is it possible to get libxcb-sync0 >= 1.6 on 10.04?
[02:35] <phunyguy> !10.04
[02:35] <kostkon> phunyguy, did you restart it?
[02:36] <nhodges> i see it here and add the ppa, but i can't update
[02:36] <nhodges> https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+build/1852267
[02:36] <nhodges> err, there's no available update
[02:36] <phunyguy> kostkon: I logged out and back in
[02:36] <kostkon> phunyguy, hmmm
[02:36] <phunyguy> nhodges: desktop or server?
[02:36] <nhodges> desktop
[02:36] <phunyguy> nhodges: see my bot trigger above
[02:36] <phunyguy> 10.04 is EOL and not supported for the desktop side.
[02:36] <kostkon> phunyguy, that's strange
[02:37] <orangecat> Hi there
[02:37] <dr_willis> nhodges: may be time to upgrade. or use the source.
[02:37] <phunyguy> kostkon: tell me about it.
[02:38] <orangecat> I need a software that can turn PC into a VPN server(Just don't say Openvpn I can't damn configure it), Need something that works out of the box
[02:38] <nhodges> i'm on a macbook air 2.1, don't want to update to 12 or 13 -- also since i'm on an MBA i don't have page up and can't scroll in irssi haha
[02:38] <nhodges> is the bot trigger just a "10.04 is no longer supported" message
[02:38] <phunyguy> nhodges: sorry, end of the road.
[02:38] <nhodges> for sure
[02:38] <nhodges> ;/
[02:38] <phunyguy> !10.04
[02:38] <phunyguy> ugh I already triggered it so now it wont
[02:38] <nhodges> no worries i get the point
[02:39] <phunyguy> :)
[02:39] <phunyguy> sorry bud.
[02:40] <phunyguy> any other ideas for hiding the skype icon>
[02:40] <phunyguy> ?
[02:40] <nhodges> it's all good
[02:40] <Guest72199> hey guys, i am having a horrible time here, i am hoping soeone can help.  i just installed ubuntu studio 12.04 lts (cant upgrade to .10 or 13 as it says the update is successful but the screen just turns on and off after reboot.... i could not install 12.10 or 13 before studio - just Ubuntu... I had to upgrade... but i cant upgrade with Studio... no matter - I think, I am ok with that)
[02:40] <Guest72199> SO, things were OK for a few hours
[02:40] <vfw> !LTS | Guest72199
[02:41] <orangecat> Anyone?
[02:41] <Guest72199> than my screen began to flicker HORRIBLY lines, i was pretty worried... some kernal thing i found online to fix that... i really dont know what i am doing here... anyway, it comes back working ok, BUT, now i cant see my menus, specificall it seems white is messed up
[02:41] <phunyguy> !patience | orangecat
[02:41] <Guest72199> so i changed to a very ugly dark theme just to see whats going on and come here for advice.
[02:42] <phunyguy> orangecat: unless someone knows of something obscure, openvpn is handy and nice, and the folks in #openvpn are gentle.
[02:42] <Guest72199> ubottu, thanks for the info but im not sure how that applies... again, appoligies, i am slow with this, somewhat
[02:42] <Guest72199> right-o
[02:42] <orangecat> I can't join #openvpn
[02:42] <orangecat> it sayd i'm banned
[02:42] <vfw> Guest72199: Fully updated?
[02:42] <orangecat> try for yourself
[02:42] <phunyguy> orangecat: hmmm...
[02:42] <phunyguy> I am in that channelm orangecat
[02:42] <vfw> Guest72199: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:42] <phunyguy> maybe you got a banned IP?
[02:42] <CavalierPrime> guest72199:  I would reinstall unity
[02:43] <orangecat> I've a regged nick
[02:43] <Guest72199> there is no unity in Studio
[02:43] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  if you have an old PC you might consider using it for your router ... a lot of software for that (Simplewall works great) that would provide a managed router, firewall & VPN to ypur delighrt ;-)
[02:43] <Guest72199> yes but i will check again on the update now
[02:43] <phunyguy> orangecat: that I would find out what you did to make them upset.  Perhaps #freenode can help?
[02:43] <CavalierPrime> then whatever the window manager is
[02:43] <Guest72199> it was fine for hours
[02:43] <phunyguy> then*
[02:44] <vfw> Guest72199: What Desktop Environment are you using?
[02:44] <Guest72199> the theme NOX i am using, it looks like crap, i can take a screen, would that help?
[02:44] <Guest72199> xfce
[02:44] <Guest72199> i think
[02:44] <Guest72199> standard with studio
[02:45] <orangecat> Tex I just have one PC can I turn it into a router and use it as a VPN?
[02:45] <vfw> Guest72199: /join #ubuntustudio
[02:46] <Guest72199> awesome.  thanks.
[02:46] <CavalierPrime> guest72199:  sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
[02:47] <orangecat> Whats the official website for simplewall BTW?
[02:48] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  that would not be a good solution ... generally you would not be able to use the dedicated router,firewall & VPN as a desktop enviornment
[02:48] <phunyguy> kostkon: sni-qt:i386 was the package to remove
[02:48] <kostkon> phunyguy, ahaa interesting
[02:48] <orangecat> I don't need a DE
[02:48] <phunyguy> :)
[02:48] <orangecat> I just need to connect to it from a remote place.
[02:50] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  via the cloud with as a remote desktop?
[02:50] <orangecat> Yep I have a lappy and I;m moving to place 2 I need to access the internet connection of my main PC at place 1.
[02:51] <orangecat> I will be connecting to unprotected WIFI at place 2 thats the reason.
[02:51] <orangecat> I hope thats clear
[02:52] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  are you familiar with "Real VNC" ? ... it's free for individual use, has been around for years, works great
[02:52] <phunyguy> it is crystal clear, and openvpn is a great solution.  If you want to use a decent out-of-box router solution, Endian works well.
[02:52] <phunyguy> it has a good openvpn implementation
[02:52] <phunyguy> I used it for years.
[02:53] <orangecat> Is the realVNC connection encrypted?
[02:53] <Tex_Nick> Endian is cool also ;-)
[02:54] <orangecat> I mean can the unprotected network that I'm connecting to sniff the data that goes thru realvnc?
[02:54] <LordSesshomaru1> try teamviewer
[02:55] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  "Real VNC" has twoparts ... a client & a server ... encription is good
[02:57] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  it's about as simple to set up as it gets
[02:57] <orangecat> Yeah
[02:57] <orangecat> But I'm concerned if the unprotected netwoprk can sniff the data or not?
[02:58] <Guest72199> so no one is around in ubuntustudio
[02:59] <SonikkuAmerica> Guest72199: If it's not a problem with an Ubuntu Studio app you can try #xubuntu
[02:59] <orangecat> I think I have to activate ssh within realvnc?
[02:59] <orangecat> Is that doable?
[03:00] <Guest72199> What is xubuntu?  Ive yet to figure that out
[03:00] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  when i try to sniff my gateway with wireshark "Real VNC" traffic is gibberish
[03:02] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I download a streaming movie on xmbc?
[03:02] <Tex_Nick> orangecat:  http://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/features/
[03:06] <mojtaba> Anybody?
[03:08] <Tex_Nick> mojtaba : i use ffmpeg to capture the desktop & audio if there is no other solution ... a LOT of the XBMC streams come from servers that will allow yoy to download directly ... check out, http://www.1channel.ch/ ... that is one of the most popular XBMC feeds
[03:08] <mojtaba> Tex_Nick: Thanks
[03:09] <Tex_Nick> you're welcome ;-)

[03:20] <lorddelta> Hi, I'm trying to collect core dumps from apport, but apport-cli doesn't seem to be collecting anything on my segmentation fault?
[03:25] <orangecat> Hey there
[03:25] <orangecat> How is HTTPS secure in the least when lots claim to sniff https packets with sniffers?
[03:26] <lorddelta> orangecat: they sniff the headers
[03:26] <clcto> orangecat: you can sniff the packets, the data is just encrypted
[03:26] <lorddelta> And yeah there is encrypted garbage in the middle
[03:27] <orangecat> I heard of a wireshark like soft that can decrypt the packets too on the fly
[03:27] <clcto> orangecat: get wireshark or something on your computer and try to sniff the https packets vs regular http
[03:27] <clcto> only your packets sent

[03:36] <oddbetter> is bitdefender for ubuntu a windows file scanner or ubuntu ?
[03:37] <lng> Hi! I have addded repository and then removed it and issued apt-get update, but now I have:  php5-cli : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6) but 5.4.15-1~precise+1 is to be installed
[03:39] <xangua> Ing by remove it you mean you used ppa-purge ¿
[03:39] <Tickle> If I use a different nameserver than the other devices on my network will that harm anything?
[03:39] <vfw> Tickle: no
[03:39] <lng> xangua: add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/php5
[03:39] <Tickle> Thanks
[03:39] <oddbetter> what's the odd or ubuntu suddenly become the world most popular OS and 99% of home users use it

[03:51] <ruphos> anyone using ubuntu on mac?
[03:52] <oddbatter> any anti virusssssssssssssssss for ubuntu
[03:52] <xangua> !virus | oddbatter
[03:52] <oddbatter> the one that scan ubuntu filessssssssssss
[03:53] <oddbatter> i guess thats wrong to say that
[03:53] <oddbatter> there are rootkit
[03:53] <oddbatter> trojan
[03:54] <oddbatter> i think there should be some antivirus for ubuntu
[03:54] <oddbatter> who agree with me
[03:54] <oddbatter> please stand up
[03:56] <kostkon> !antivirus | oddbatter
[03:56] <oddbatter> kostton
[03:56] <clcto> oddbatter: i dont think there are many exploits that allow root access in linux
[03:56] <clcto> certain modules have some though
[03:56] <psycho_oreos> It's hard to correct a habit of constantly doing everything as root when one is desperate. It's even more harder to correct ex-windows users who thinks there needs to be antivirus for linux.
[03:56] <Tex_Nick> oddbatter:  there have been a couple linux rootkits, however they have been patched quickly ... virus issues aren't much concern on linux
[03:57] <oddbatter> tex nick , some user got trojan installed
[03:57] <oddbatter> for a year
[03:57] <ruphos> anyone running ubuntu 12.04 on macbook pro bricked with kernel update 3.0.2-45? black screen w/ flashing cursor on boot thru rEFIt?
[03:58] <oddbatter> withoutout knowing it
[03:58] <clcto> oddbatter: sounds like his fault
[03:58] <oddbatter> clcto , if there's an antivirus scanner , he should have known it ealier
[03:59] <Tex_Nick> oddbatter:  if they didn't know it ... how did they know it ??? @^@
[03:59] <oddbatter> *he could have
[03:59] <oddbatter> am i right clcto
[04:00] <oddbatter> Tex_Nick , whre do you get that if they didn't know it ..."
[04:00] <shade34321> is it safe to reference $HOME in my bashrc for my home directory if I never export it?
[04:00] <oddbatter> i don't understand what are you saying
[04:01] <psycho_oreos> There are certain softwares out there that mimick what antivirus does to an extent. I'm sure if one wants to treat linux like windows, nothing will stop them.  Basically I get "Missing Operating System"
[04:07] <Tex_Nick> psycho_oreos:  that was my point ... anyway it's mute without details
[04:08] <clcto> Styles: us there an option Windows UEFI/Other OS
[04:08] <clcto> ah i see
[04:08] <clcto> sorry you said that already
[04:08] <Tex_Nick> psycho_oreos:  actually ... sometimes a user see's it ... most user's NEVER know
[04:08] <Styles> clcto yeah and it actually doesn't work which is absurd
[04:09] <clcto> id complain to ASUS
[04:09] <treehau55> theres something terribly funky going on with my system. it may or may not be related to xorg and compiz, also my wifi is acting screwy. All of this started happening for no reason. Is there any bugs with xorg?
[04:09] <Styles> yeah but that wont get me booting up anytime soon clcto
[04:10] <qin> Styles: do you boot from usb?
[04:10] <Styles> qin I'm able to, yes
[04:11] <psycho_oreos> Tex_Nick, I'd say that depends on various factors but yes the bottom line is that most users are generally.. well you know the words I want to say :)
[04:11] <Tex_Nick> psycho_oreos:  hey i hear ya man ;-)
[04:11] <Styles> The primary drive is setup as follows: /dev/sda1 fat32 (boot sector) /dev/sda2 ext4 (Linux) and /dev/sda3 swap - because of secure boot it says the OS is missing. I did read that grub 2 was signed and such but how would I go about getting it to boot?
[04:15] <clcto> Styles: if it is signed you can copy the key to your bios settings
[04:15] <clcto> but you will probably have to change it everytime grub is updated
[04:17] <Styles> I just read that Ubuntu has grub2 signed
[04:21] <devslash> Has anyone here installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a Macbook uni body? I installed it on mine and it runs very very poorly. The graphics mess up after 5-10 minutes and the mouse becomes sluggish intermittently
[04:22] <gadams> Any documentation on hosting an official repository ?
[04:30] <wo0f> gadams: mirroring one?
[04:30] <gadams> wo0f: Yeah I just realized ubuntu only uses AWS
[04:31] <Corey> !mac
[04:31] <Corey> devslash: That any help? ^
[04:31] <devslash> The problem is I can't even boot it up now
[04:32] <devslash> I mean it boots but the graphics are so glitched that I can't do anything
[04:32] <gadams> wo0f: I was hoping to setup a local repository in Florida for geographic DNS to grab from
[04:33] <Ponch0> holy-moly any sci-kit learn guys in here? I have a question.
[04:34] <Guest18299> is there a google talk for ubuntu ?
[04:35] <devslash> This sucks
[04:35] <Guest18299> or is it just the ephany plugin, i tried to send a file with psi but won't let me
[04:35] <wo0f> gadams: i believe you have use apt-mirror
[04:35] <Ponch0> oops wrong channel haha
[04:35] <gadams> wo0f: gotcha
[04:36] <devslash> I give up
[04:36] <devslash> Ubuntu isn't an option for me I guess
[04:38] <krypto> why is my ubuntu network installation failing with "Bad archive mirror "
[04:39] <mogaj> I am getting internet constantly disconnected, my Os is ubuntu 12.04, but other systems in network which are windows sytems has no such problems what should do to rectify this http://pastebin.com/akQvMLjn
[04:39] <wo0f> gadams: http://apt-mirror.github.io/ \O/
[04:40] <wo0f> mogaj: are the rest of your networked devices using Google's DNS (<IP_ADDRESS>) ?
[04:41] <mogaj> wo0f: no ... i dont think so .. how can i check it
[04:44] <wo0f> mogaj: I imagine your Windows machines will be getting DNS from their nearest gateway, i.e. your router
[04:45] <wo0f> mogaj: however this is just a hunch, is your NIC actually diconnecting, or you are just unable to resolve web addresses?
[04:45] <wo0f> mogaj: maybe try pinging a local device
[04:47] <wo0f> ipconfig /all in windows to check DNS btw
[04:53] <dandaman> can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Sometimes when I boot up, my sound doesnt work. I have no idea how to tell what is causing this as i have never troubleshooted audio before. The times it works when it boots, it works perfectly

[04:59] <dandaman> Tex_Nick: i hate unity
[05:00] <dandaman> Tex_Nick: and dont want to spend the time figuring out how to revert back to gnome 2
[05:01] <Tex_Nick> dandaman: ahh ok ... with 12.04 you could use the "Gnome Classic" DE, it gives you the "old school" de ... just a thought
[05:01] <styles_> How are drivers for Ubuntu HD 7870?
[05:02] <dandaman> Tex_Nick: well i dont really have the time to deal with that atm, can you give me some troubleshooting tips for right now?

[05:06] <Guest18299> how do i transfer file in pidgn, i am using  google talk
[05:07] <jab416171> how do I install 3.9 on raring?
[05:07] <jab416171> kernel*
[05:10] <somsip_> !info linux-image
[05:11] <somsip_> jab416171: so the supported version is as shown. Which means you need a PPA, but...
[05:11] <somsip_> !ppa | jab416171
[05:11] <jab416171> is it an "unsupported third party package" if it's hosted on kernel.ubuntu.com?
[05:11] <jab416171> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc1-raring/
[05:12] <somsip_> jab416171: the clue is the 'ppa' in the url :)
[05:12] <somsip_> jab416171: and rc1? Up to you...
[05:12] <jab416171> yeah, I'd want rc8, right?
[05:12] <jab416171> do you know when 3.9 will be released officially?
[05:12] <somsip_> jab416171: Not sure what you want. I need stable but each to their own
[05:13] <jab416171> if I wanted stable I'd be on 12.04 :)
[05:13] <somsip_> jab416171: probably next LTS version but I'm guessing. And I am on 12.04 ;)
[05:13] <jab416171> but 12.04 was giving me a lot of issues, and I need Google's patches that are in 3.9
[05:13] <Phonom1992> #ubuntu-help
[05:13] <somsip_> jab416171: fair enough. But you are at the bleeding edge and you might struggle to get support
[05:13] <jab416171> Phonom1992: the topic says "Official Ubuntu Support Channel"
[05:13] <Ben64> probably have to wait for 13.10 for official 3.9+ kernel
[05:14] <jab416171> I was going to install 3.9 on 12.04, but that required 12.04.3, which would be out in August
[05:14] <Phonom1992> sorry first time here :-) I need some help. can anybody please help me out?
[05:14] <somsip_> !ask | Phonom1992
[05:14] <utfans05> !ask | Phonom1992
[05:14] <jab416171> so, sounds like I have to wait until August (or October) to have a stable 3.9 release?
[05:15] <Phonom1992> I am getting duplicate sources.list error
[05:15] <utfans05> Phonom1992: go ahead and just ask your question
[05:15] <Tex_Nick> !details | Phonom1992
[05:15] <Ben64> jab416171: you can have it now, you just can't have the support here
[05:15] <somsip_> jab416171: Ben64 suggest 13.10. I've not heard of 12.04.3 so...dunno to be honest
[05:15] <Phonom1992> This is the message
[05:15] <Phonom1992> Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages)
[05:15] <Phonom1992> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[05:15] <jab416171> Ben64: an RC, by definition, isn't stable
[05:15] <Ben64> not really
[05:15] <jab416171> well, it's not a "release" version
[05:15] <Ben64> the r is for release
[05:16] <jab416171> release candidate
 if I wanted stable I'd be on 12.04 :)
[05:16] <Ben64> so go for it
[05:16] <Guest18299> hi all what can i use for google talk on my desktop to transfer files
[05:16] <Phonom1992> but everytime I run apt-get update, I get the same error
[05:17] <jab416171> Guest18299: google talk doesn't support file transfers, but the new version of hangouts (available on the web on google+ and gmail, and on android and iOS) supports sharing of pictures
[05:17] <jab416171> (hangouts is going to replace google talk)
[05:19] <Tking> please how can i uninstall gnome 3

[05:20] <Tex_Nick> Tking:  what you see here is real time
[05:20] <jab416171> Ben64: do you know the difference between v3.9-rc8-raring/ and v3.9-raring/, on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

[05:58] <suigeneris> hi
[05:58] <reisio> hi
[05:59] <suigeneris> I've been trying to reinstall os since yesterday, and this time make startup disk button in startup disk creator is disabled
[05:59] <suigeneris> why is that?
[05:59] <suigeneris> why is it disabled?
[06:00] <susundberg> You are doing something wrong, it works for everybody else. Maybe there is youtube tutorial on the issue
[06:00] <suigeneris> susundberg: me?
[06:00] <susundberg> suigeneris: yes, sorry for missing your name on my comment
[06:01] <reisio> startup disk?
[06:01] <suigeneris> reisio: yes
[06:02] <reisio> what's a startup disk?
[06:02] <suigeneris> reisio: one sec
[06:02] <reisio> whatever it is, you don't need it, unless you're calling something a startup disk that is not a startup disk
[06:02] <reisio> whatever a startup disk is
[06:03] <goddard> can i run command on existing terminal windows from  another window?
[06:03] <reisio> goddard: to what end?
[06:03] <suigeneris> reisio: http://imgur.com/V9o99fN
[06:03] <reisio> goddard: don't cross post
[06:03] <goddard> reisio: i use terminator id like to execute a shell script to automatically do a few things and post it
[06:03] <goddard> reisio: what?
[06:03] <suigeneris> reisio: usb bootable
[06:03] <guest-FDfgDw> hi fellas, I switched to macos like 2 years ago, today I loaded my old ubuntu and I discovered I can't login to my user using GUI, and when I login to console I see dirs like "bin", "boot" and "home" in my home directory, and I don't have ideas how to access my files
[06:04] <guest-FDfgDw> ls ~/home/user shows nothing btw
[06:04] <suigeneris> can I create that using dd?
[06:04] <reisio> suigeneris: you can dd an Ubuntu install image to a USB stick, yes
[06:04] <reisio> suigeneris: just be quite sure you get the syntax and values correct
[06:04] <susundberg> guest-FDfgDw: try 'ls  /home/'
[06:05] <suigeneris> reisio: got an example that shows values?
[06:05] <suigeneris> reisio: I mean like bs and such
[06:05] <guest-FDfgDw> susundberg, well, it's my user home there
[06:05] <reisio> suigeneris: the bs doesn't matter so much, you can use bs=1M
[06:05] <susundberg> reisio,suigeneris: why not using the startup disc creator that is ment for making bootable images
[06:05] <guest-FDfgDw> that contains "bin boot etc"
[06:05] <reisio> suigeneris: what really matters is not overwriting the wrong device :p
[06:06] <suigeneris> susundberg: http://imgur.com/V9o99fN
[06:06] <reisio> susundberg: obviously, because it's too complex for him
[06:06] <susundberg> reisio: and using dd from command line is easier?
[06:06] <suigeneris> susundberg: `make startup disk` button is disabled
[06:06] <reisio> susundberg: infinitely
[06:06] <reisio> susundberg: most people can manage a copy & paste
[06:06] <reisio> and the ones that can't, well, they're hopeless anyways
[06:07] <susundberg> suigeneris: 1) you are really trying to make image from CD? 2) you dont have partitions on the usb stick?
[06:07] <suigeneris> reisio: no, it's not too complex for me. the fricking button is disabled
[06:07] <goddard> !ops reisio
[06:07] <guest-FDfgDw> do you think loading from safe disk would help in my case?
[06:07] <reisio> suigeneris: semantics, it wasn't an insult :)
[06:07] <suigeneris> susundberg: I am trying to make a usb bootable from an image, and yes I do
[06:08] <goddard> suigeneris: its surprising because reisio has a knack for rubbing people the wrong way
[06:09] <reisio> nah, people have a knack for being born rubbed :p
[06:09] <susundberg> guest-FDfgDw: you should see your files at /home/<here_your_username> on the simplest case. If you have /home on separate partition then you wont see any files there (not even the home directory). If you have encrypted homes then things get more complicated. I did not quite follow what you ment with having "bin" somewhere. You have directory 'bin' (etc) at  /home/username_here/?
[06:09] <IdleOne> enough from both of you. stick to support and follow the channel !guidelines
[06:09] <goddard> reisio: sorry i don't do rap battles
[06:09] <reisio> goddard: that's good, 'cause I'm the hip-hop-o-potamus, my rhymes are bottomless, I...
[06:10] <susundberg> suigeneris: but you have the cdrom drive selected on the screen capture, and i dont see the partitions on creator (not sure if that version does, but at least older versions displayed them). You can mount the disk ok?
[06:10] <suigeneris> susundberg: gparted shows it mounted, but df doesn't list it
[06:10] <suigeneris> :S
[06:11] <susundberg> its removable stick? just unplug it count to 15 and replug it
[06:14] <BlackDalek> Does anyone know what mouse/button/key combination in LXDE desktop causes the desktop switcher to come up?
[06:15] <BlackDalek> It keeps switching the desktop while we scroll the mouse wheel and we can't work out why.
[06:15] <suigeneris> susundberg: http://imgur.com/QFfqZPa
[06:17] <susundberg> suigeneris: are you able to mount the usb disk?
[06:17] <suigeneris> susundberg: yes
[06:18] <suigeneris> susundberg: fdisk -l output: /dev/sdh1   *        2048    15132671     7565312   83  Linux
[06:19] <reisio> hi :)
[06:19] <suigeneris> wb reisio
[06:19] <reisio> suigeneris: :)
[06:19] <suigeneris> I'm dd'ing now
[06:19] <reisio> suigeneris: gj
[06:19] <suigeneris> time sudo dd if=/media/ubuntu/04b5c779-0527-4e03-9519-18722b8db1f4/Kurulum/ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdh bs=1M
[06:20] <reisio> suigeneris: yup, as long as sdh doesn't have anything you care about on it, you're all set
[06:21] <suigeneris> I absolutely have no clue why the heck ubuntu started coughing on me yesterday in the first place
[06:21] <susundberg> suigeneris: my startup disk creator shows device as /dev/sdb1 -- note the 1 there, afaik the /dev/sdh means the full disk not partition
[06:21] <reisio> suigeneris: what'd you do yesterday?
[06:22] <susundberg> suigeneris: and my disk has '/dev/sdb1   *          32    31506431    15753200    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[06:22] <ShawnMcCool> sorry if my questions seem a bit rudimentary, but is the top panel in ubuntu part of unity? i'm not sure where gnome ends and unity begins
[06:22] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: Unity is a reconfiguration _of GNOME_
[06:22] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: you can't have one without the other
[06:23] <suigeneris> reisio: the computer froze, I rebooted and started getting messages like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Foto%2011.06.2013%2016%2017%2056.jpg
[06:23] <ShawnMcCool> i upgraded to gnome 3.8 in 13.04 and i really like the improvements, now i'm wondering what it'd be like to use the gnome shell instead of the default super behavior in ubuntu
[06:23] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: the way the menu items are up in the top bar is an Ubuntu hack, though, if that's what you're wondering
[06:23] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: try it and cease wondering :)
[06:24] <suigeneris> susundberg: it does, and my usb disk showed sdh1
[06:24] <ShawnMcCool> yea, just trying to figure out what it means to do so and if i'd be breaking or gutting ubuntu
[06:24] <ShawnMcCool> trying to figure out if i'm better suited by another distro to do so or not
[06:24] <suigeneris> susundberg: but in dd, you need to use the disk, not partition
[06:24] <suigeneris> and dd finished
[06:25] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: IIRC you just install gnome-shell, log out, click on an icon and change it
[06:25] <suigeneris> wish me luck guys
[06:25] <Tex_Nick> BlackDalek: see if this helps ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts
[06:25] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: the bot has a factoid about it
[06:25] <ShawnMcCool> interesting
[06:25]  * suigeneris crosses reisio's and susundberg's fingers
[06:25] <suigeneris> brb
[06:26] <reisio> !notunity
[06:26] <ShawnMcCool> interesting, ok thanks
[06:27] <reisio> ShawnMcCool: 'gnome-shell' being GNOME 3's _ordinary shell_ (as opposed to Unity, an alternative shell)
[06:27] <reisio> if you're using Unity, you already have most of GNOME 3 installed
[06:27] <ShawnMcCool> thanks for the clarification, reisio
[06:27] <Tex_Nick> BlackDalek:  also make sure the cursor is NOT in a panel or launcher when you use the mouse wheel
[06:29] <tskorte> Hello! I'm a little curious - will installing a lot of KDE libraries (dependencies when installing Dolphin) have anything else to say but diskspace use in Ubuntu?
[06:30] <reisio> tskorte: that's quite hard to parse
[06:30] <king_slayer> tskorte the system will be slow...
[06:31] <IdleOne> tskorte: they will take up some disk space of course, shouldn't affect performance really.
[06:31] <reisio> yes, if you run Dolphin with another DE, like GNOME, you'll have that many more processes going
[06:31] <reisio> because GNOME and KDE have all their own implementations of things
[06:31] <king_slayer> IdleOne: there are some kde daemons installed with those dependencies
[06:32] <Bluaoi> hello
[06:32] <king_slayer> happened to me, the system started to be slow since I was using a hibrid between kde/gnome
[06:32] <reisio> impossible to say whether you'd notice the difference, though; probably not on modern hardwaren
[06:32] <reisio> Bluaoi: hi
[06:32] <tskorte> Thanks, great answers! It all makes sense.
[06:33] <Bluaoi> im having a problem in ubuntu 13.04. after trying to install Gnome and it not working, then switching back to regular Ubuntu, my desktop doesnt work
[06:33] <Bluaoi> i see my wallpaper, i can use the 'side bar' and anything, and when i navigate to the folder for the desktop i see the stuff that should appear, but doesnt
[06:33] <BlackDalek> Tex_Nick, thanks. I worked it out and how to disable it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse For some reason it keeps doing it even when the mouse pointer is in an app like browser or trying to scroll through files etc.
[06:33] <tskorte> Too bad Kate and Dolphin are superior to gedit/nautilus :/
[06:33] <Bluaoi> i cannot right click on the desktop either
[06:33] <reisio> tskorte: what bits of KDE do you not find superior?
[06:34] <reisio> Bluaoi: what happened when you tried to use 'GNOME'?
[06:34] <Bluaoi> i selected Gnome at the log-in screen, entered my password and it just stays black-screen
[06:34] <tskorte> reisio: The user interface. Personally, I think it's outdated.
[06:35] <Bluaoi> i can access TTY1-6 but nothing ever happens on 7
[06:35] <reisio> tskorte: in what way?
[06:35] <Tex_Nick> BlackDalek:  hey GREAT that you worked it out ... and thanks for that link, i'll put in my data base for future reference :-)
[06:36] <reisio> Bluaoi: huh, might check /var/log/Xorg*log for EE's
[06:36] <tskorte> reisio: Well, to be honest - KDE is my favorite DE to use when I'm programming but when I'm not I like a nice, easy UI to work with. If I could switch between KDE and Unity I would be in heaven - but I've tried and failed.
[06:37] <reisio> tskorte: on demand, you mean?
[06:37] <tskorte> reisio: Yah.
[06:37] <reisio> mmm, you should be able to, but obviously that's another can of worms
[06:37] <Bluaoi> reisio, i'm doing that right now :)
[06:37] <king_slayer> does kde have a "summary of windows" view as gnome 3?, I mean the view that shows all the windows when you press the windows key
[06:38] <tskorte> reisio: Also I feel that the whole toolbar/"start"-button setup is just boring. I like innovative design.
[06:38] <reisio> king_slayer: as text or thumbs?
[06:38] <king_slayer> the little windows
[06:38] <tskorte> Bluaoi: Running KDE and Unity? "hot"swapping between those at need?
[06:38] <Theri> The only way is just to log out and switch window managers there
[06:38] <king_slayer> this http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/window-selection-3-8.png
[06:38] <reisio> king_slayer: yes, IIRC KDE had it first
[06:39] <Theri> I have KDE and it's awesome
[06:39] <reisio> king_slayer: the 'present windows' plugin for kwin
[06:39] <Bluaoi> reisio, no results (other than the 'key' at the top of the page) for (EE) in gedit for any of the xorg logs
[06:39] <tskorte> Yeah, it is but I feel to truly enjoy KDE you need a KDE specific distro (or arch etc.). Installing KDE besides Unity has just been a plethora of problems for me.
[06:40] <Bluaoi> tskorte, no, i just wanted to try gnome.
[06:40] <reisio> Bluaoi: mmm, you could try disabling the DM and starting GNOME directly and looking for errors :)
[06:41] <reisio> tskorte: well, it needn't be, if you want to keep it in mind for later
[06:41] <Bluaoi> reisio, how might i go about that? :)
[06:41] <tskorte> reisio: Do you know of some guide to setting it up? (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?)
[06:42] <reisio> Bluaoi: mmm, well, you could possibly try without disabling the DM first, by switching to TTY2 and running what at least historically was always 'gnome-session'
[06:43] <reisio> tskorte: that should do it, though you might end up with cluttered menus
[06:43] <Proximus> Hi folks!
[06:43] <Proximus> Pardon me for little off-topic, but are here any engineers?
[06:43] <tskorte> The menus never worry me as I never use them. I <3 the keyboard. I will give it one last try, heh. Here's to never giving up!
[06:44] <king_slayer> present, what's up?
[06:44] <Jordan_U> Proximus: #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chat.
[06:44] <thurstylark> I have a server, and I messed too much with the interfaces file and now I cannot connect to it. I need to access the interfaces file from another machine with the root drive hooked up as an external drive. How can I do that?
[06:44] <reisio> thurstylark: if it doesn't auto-mount when you connect it, use sudo blkid, and sudo mount
[06:45] <thurstylark> It's mounted, and I can see files, but I can't access the etc folder
[06:45] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: sudoedit /mountpoint/etc/networking/interfaces
[06:46] <segi_> im trying to add my vpn connecting following instruction from my vpn provider at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/#ubuntu_openvpn_installer but once I get to the last step after selecting lzo compression and click on ok, save is greyed out and i cant save the vpn connection
[06:47] <segi_> has anoyne had this problem where you cant save a vpn connection
[06:48] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: that gives me "input/output error"
[06:49] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: What is the exact command you ran?
[06:49] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: "sudoedit /media/[device id]/etc/interfaces"
[06:50] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: "sudoedit /media/[device id]/etc/networking/interfaces"
[06:51] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: And what is the complete error message / output?
[06:52] <phillustine> Hello
[06:52] <Bluaoi> reisio, tried running gnome-session in TTY2. Cannot open display and 'child process exited with code 1
[06:52] <reisio> phillustine: 'lo
[06:52] <phillustine> lo?
[06:52] <phillustine> short for hello?
[06:52] <Bluaoi> reisio if i can't use gnome that's fine, i just want to have access to my desktop back ^^
[06:52] <reisio> (hel)lo yes indeed
[06:53] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: "sudoedit: /media/[device id]/etc/networking/interfaces: Input/output error"
[06:53] <phillustine> cool.
[06:53] <phillustine> never seen that before.
[06:53] <phillustine> is this forum only for technical questions?
[06:53] <reisio> Bluaoi: is nautilus running?
[06:53] <reisio> phillustine: as opposed to?
[06:53] <phillustine> i'm looking for a linux job.
[06:53] <phillustine> thought i might as well try everywhere.
[06:53] <reisio> phillustine: not here :)
[06:54] <krz> hi
[06:54] <reisio> phillustine: /msg alis list *job*
[06:54] <phillustine> also: one never knows where one might find some life advice. :)
[06:54] <reisio> krz: hi
[06:54] <krz> anyone used vim yadr before?
[06:54] <phillustine> aris_s
[06:54] <phillustine> thanks
[06:54] <reisio> krz: probably someone has
[06:55] <aris_s> yup phillustine
[06:55] <phillustine> aris_s: thanks for the reference
[06:55] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: So it never even opens a text editor?
[06:55] <somsip_> krz: maybe here? https://github.com/skwp/dotfiles/issues
[06:55] <Bluaoi> reisio i did 'pidof nautilus' and got nothing in return, that's the only way i know to see if a process is running
[06:55] <Bluaoi> sorry for being new
[06:56] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: nope. It does the same thing if I try to cd into ../etc/ or further
[06:56] <aris_s> phillustine, i don't know what do you talking about
[06:56] <krz> somsip_, yea i installed it. but now what? how do i start using it?
[06:56] <reisio> Bluaoi: run 'nautilus'
[06:56] <phillustine> oh sorry, i misread the msg
[06:56] <phillustine> it was from someone else
[06:56] <somsip_> krz: It' snot the sort of thing that's supported here. The instruction and the help forum are on github
[06:56] <thurstylark> Jordan_U:etc doesn't even show up until I do "sudo ls" or do ls as root
[06:56] <aris_s> phillustine, okey no problem. good luck
[06:57] <phillustine> thanks
[06:57] <Bluaoi> reisio window popped up that shows files, i could've clicked the 'Files' icon on the sidebar and gotten that
[06:57] <reisio> Bluaoi: and your desktop is still wonky?
[06:58] <Bluaoi> yep, i can navigate to the 'Desktop' folder and see all my stuff there, but nothing actually shows on my desktop
[06:58] <Bluaoi> i cant right-click either
[06:59] <Bluaoi> I can right-click and get stuff on the side and top bar, but the desktop is just a void except for my wallpaper
[06:59] <reisio> Bluaoi: okay, you should be able to fix that from nautilus' prefs
[06:59] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: I had an extra 's' in the path, though that still shouldn't produce the symptoms you're seeing. Try "sudoedit /media/foo/etc/network/interfaces". Also, the UUID of the fileystem isn't something secret, so you might as well include it in your comments.
[07:00] <Godricglow> param_ change apt.config file
[07:00] <TKing> Please can someone help me here? I can't load to desktop? can't even see login screen just a blue screen like wallpaper after reboot. How can i reinstall ubuntu-desktop from grub or any fix?
[07:01] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: mmkay. I was just fuzzing it because it's long, and my IRC client is on a seperate machine.
[07:01] <Bluaoi> reisio where do i do that?
[07:01] <reisio> Bluaoi: it still has a menu, IIRC
[07:01] <tskorte_> TKing: Press ctrl+F1, log in, then run command sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[07:01] <tskorte_> *Press ctrl+alt+F1
[07:02] <Bluaoi> reisio if I click Files>Preferences i dont see anything that can remedy my desktop situation
[07:03] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: same result
[07:03] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: What about "sudoedit /etc/fstab" as a test?
[07:04] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: that gets me an editor
[07:04] <reisio> Bluaoi: check with the gnome-tweak-tool
[07:05] <TKing> tskorte_ thanks, but when i type the command it loads and return me to login
[07:05] <Jordan_U> thurstylark: Odd, I'm not sure why it's not working with the other path. Getting back to the original issue, you should be able to run "gksudo gedit /media/foo/etc/network/interfaces" (or your preffered editor) but I like the fact that sudoedit doesn't run the editor itself as root.
[07:06] <Bluaoi> reisio i turned 'Have file manager handle the desktop' to On and now my desktop is all Windows ME-ified... when i drag something it leaves an everlasting trail O_O
[07:06] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: if this helps at all, when I hit tab to autocomplete (like I do with long filepaths) the etc directory acts like a file instead of a directory i.e. it puts a space instead of a slash.
[07:06] <tskorte_> TKing: So after you log in and run the command a new login in prompt for a terminal is up, or is lightDM loading?
[07:06] <reisio> Bluaoi: well that's another problem :p
[07:06] <reisio> Bluaoi: try logging out and back in
[07:07] <Bluaoi> reisio brb, and im uninstalling gnome after i get back on so i might be a while
[07:07] <reisio> heh, k
[07:07] <TKing> tskorte_ i dont see the login screen to enter user name
[07:07] <Bluaoi> thanks a bunch man :)
[07:08] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: and that last command doesn't take at all. It doesn't open anything, or give any sort of message, it just gives me another $ prompt
[07:08] <thurstylark> or whatever you call it :P
[07:09]  * thurstylark is tires and frustrated
[07:09] <TKing> tskorte_ its installing now
[07:17] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: Any ideas or things to search for?
[07:18] <TKing> i used to see stuffs saved on desktop but after uninstalling gnome3-shell i can't right click or see items saved on desktop? please how do i resolve this
[07:19] <Guest72069> On startup I only see a single _

[07:23] <reisio> heh
[07:23] <reisio> TKing: mmm, you and he have the same problem, kind of
[07:24] <reisio> TKing: reinstalling ubuntu-desktop would probably take care of it in your case
[07:26] <histo> TKing: files should be in /home/tking/Desktop/
[07:26] <histo> TKing: check out your lightdm log files and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:27] <TKing> reisio, i wasn't able to boot to desktop but
[07:27] <TKing> reisio, so i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop using ctrl+alr+f1 to go terminal and installed it
[07:27] <reisio> k
[07:28] <TKing> histo how do i check the logfiles and set things to lightdm
[07:28] <manolo> Hi ! Does somebody use Hotot ?  Couldn't connect, upgraded it, and it still doesn't work.
[07:28] <histo> TKing: it should be set to lightdm unless you changed the default login manager to something like gdm,kdm, or slim
[07:29] <histo> TKing: /var/log/lightdm.log or /var/log/lightdm/.... I'm not ubuntu now to check but should be in there.
[07:29] <TKing> histo i changed it to gdm when installing gnome-shell but now i removed gnome
[07:29] <TKing> need the prompt to reset things to lightdm
[07:29] <histo> TKing: well look at gdm's logs then
[07:30] <Guest72069> What are the best AMD drivers?
[07:30] <kaushal> Hi
[07:30] <reisio> kaushal: hi
[07:31] <histo> TKing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[07:31] <histo> !ati | Guest72069
[07:31] <thurstylark> I have a server, and I messed too much with the interfaces file and now I cannot connect to it. I need to access the interfaces file from another machine with the root drive hooked up as an external drive. I can mount the drive, but I cannot access the etc directory. everything I do results in a "Input/output error" can anyone help?
[07:31] <histo> thurstylark: how do you have it mounted?
[07:32] <histo> thurstylark: sudo mount /dev/of/external /to/some/path/user/has/write/to
[07:33] <thurstylark> histo: how: ubuntu mounted it automatically. Where: /media/[device id]/
[07:33] <TKing> histo done sudo reconfigure lightdm and rebooted pc to see if it works? didn't work
[07:33] <histo> thurstylark: check your cable you shoulnd't be getting IO errors
[07:33] <histo> TKing: you could do that or figure out why GDM isn't working.
[07:34] <histo> TKing: at the login screen make sure you select the proper session of unity or gnome-shell or whatever DE you are using now.
[07:35] <kaushal> I have installed unity-pidgin-lens on ubuntu 13.04. Any clue on how to use it in dash?
[07:35] <thurstylark> histo: mmkay
[07:36] <histo> thurstylark: where are you seeing io errors in dmesg?
[07:36] <TKing> histo am wanting to use lightdm not gdm though? so i still need to check why GDM is not working right even if i do not need it?
[07:37] <TKing> histo my login screen has not options to be selected
[07:38] <thurstylark> histo: I try to run "sudoedit /media/[device id]/etc/networking/interfaces" in a terminal
[07:38] <TKing> histo i have gone to select all ppa in software updates and done sudo upgrade  and its loading about 174mb space needed
[07:39] <djapo> running the dd command with no arguments does no harm right, acidently ran it in my etc/pam.d directory ... worried
[07:39] <histo> thrasher194: okay well edit isn't a command sudo nano /media/wherever/etc/network/inerfaces
[07:40] <histo> TKing: No don't figure out why gdm isn't working if you aren't going to use it. Did lightdm come up to the login screen?
[07:41] <shadowmancer> Hey all, so I think to save on typing here is my issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/307163/fresh-install-doesnt-appear-to-work, I was here last night and still fighting it
[07:42] <TKing> histo yes lightdm came up with login screen, also i noticed when i opened a folder all the icons for folders by the left are not displayed correctly like the icon image is missing a black icon with red * in the middle to represent i con of Home, Documents, Music, Computer folders etc
[07:43] <histo> shadowmancer: md5sum your installation media and your downloaded iso.
[07:43] <histo> TKing: So it logs into desktop what are you trying to fix now?  I'm confused by the issue changing.
[07:45] <shadowmancer> histo: might if I ask how would I do that on the live disk
[07:45] <TKing> histo i can see everything on my computer but normally, i have folders saved on my desktop?  but when i boot i cant see them no more and i can not right click on the desktop
[07:46] <histo> !md5sum | shadowmancer
[07:46] <TKing> histo while its possible to browse to folders from file icon close to Unity Icon, i want to easily see things on my desktop when all windows are minimized and i can right click? that is my issue
[07:46] <Nafish> how can i find a text in vi editor when i am in server?
[07:46] <histo> TKing: so nautilus is not working?  Nautilus should be what controls the desktop unless they switched to some other file manager. Do your files still exist in /home/username/Desktop ???
[07:47] <histo> Nafish: /
[07:47] <TKing> histo yes my files exist there
[07:47] <Nafish> thanks histo
[07:48] <histo> TKing: ps aux | grep nautilus
[07:49] <manolo> Ok, so Turpial AND Hotot can't connect. Sad day for twitter clients :/
[07:49] <AD7six> Hi, after just reinstalling 13.04 - I find that when I switch my monitors from 3 mirrors to 3 individual monitors the launcher and menu bar of unity disappears (infact all menu bars disappear). It looks like this http://ad7six.com/dump/unity-borked.png. This didn't happen when I upgraded from 12.04->12.10->13.04 previously. I've already tried `unity --distro` and deleting config files - the best this achieves is giving me 3 mirrored monitors. Where ...
[07:49] <AD7six> ... should I look to correct this error?
[07:50] <histo> TKing: or open a terminal and "nautilus &"  see if that brings your icons back
[07:50] <histo> AD7six: possible resolution issue when this is happening?  like stuff being of off the screen?  Try seeing what xrandr is showing as your output res when it happens
[07:51] <kaushal> reisio: hi
[07:51] <reisio> hiyo
[07:51] <kaushal> Any clue to my query "have installed unity-pidgin-lens on ubuntu 13.04. Any clue on how to use it in dash?
[07:52] <histo> TKing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=849089

[07:53] <TKing> histo only probs now is right clicking on desktop doesn't work and i cant see stuffs on the desktop except i go to /home/username/desktop
[07:54] <diverdude> I can set jumboframes on my NIC using /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 8192 but when i restart it has reset to 1500. How do i keep it between restarts?
[07:55] <CalimeroTeknik> say, can one use scripts or something to make ubuntu packages?
[07:56] <sIRwa2> can anyone shed some insight on these weird characters? cp: cannot stat â/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pangoâ: No such file or directory
[07:56] <armin> CalimeroTeknik: there's some package with tools in debian that will make this super easy for you.
[07:56] <Name141> When should and shouldn't I have backports on ?
[07:56] <CalimeroTeknik> it's more "reproducible" that I'm looking for
[07:56] <CalimeroTeknik> write a package recipe
[07:56] <CalimeroTeknik> and reuse it for next version
[07:57] <CalimeroTeknik> or to build for different architectures
[07:58] <CalimeroTeknik> what would be the name of the package to do something like this, if any? (if none I'll just make package building scripts)
[07:58] <espartaco> olalaaaa
[07:58] <AD7six> histo: xrandr shows me exactly what I expect to see - there's nothing offscreen
[07:58] <espartaco> que tal estais ?
[07:59] <CalimeroTeknik> in fact the ubuntu wiki seems to point that there is some repository for contributing packages to ubuntu
[08:01] <CalimeroTeknik> however it seems so over-engineered
[08:02] <CalimeroTeknik> is it deb-helper you meant to talk about, armin?
[08:02] <shadowmancer> histo: both seem to match the checksums
[08:02] <AD7six> now.. my tty7 is just a blinking cursor - wooty
[08:02] <CalimeroTeknik> completely normal I'd say
[08:03] <CalimeroTeknik> most distributions have login shells on ttys 1 to 6
[08:03] <CalimeroTeknik> and nothing on others
[08:04] <armin> CalimeroTeknik: devscripts
[08:05] <armin> CalimeroTeknik: includes rmadison, debuild and stuff like that.
[08:05] <CalimeroTeknik> but I only need something like makepkg
[08:05] <CalimeroTeknik> why all that stuff?
[08:06] <armin> CalimeroTeknik: if you know it fits your needs, carry on. no worries.
[08:06] <CalimeroTeknik> wait, makepkg is for arch linux
[08:06] <CalimeroTeknik> I'd like to know how to make ubuntu packages ^^
[08:06] <llutz> !packaging | CalimeroTeknik
[08:07] <broMonrr> Help, Startup DIsk creator does not work on 13.04 , so how do I install 12.04 LTS if I can not create a USB boot drive with the ISO file? also I am not the only one getting the Erno5 error in out
[08:07] <CalimeroTeknik> I've precisely read that
[08:07] <CalimeroTeknik> there is nothing like a package recipe files in these pages
[08:07] <CalimeroTeknik> I don't understand even, *what* they say to push to a bzr repo
[08:07] <CalimeroTeknik> binary package files??
[08:07] <CalimeroTeknik> that'd be huge!
[08:09] <broMonrr> also 13.04 is running like a thousand daemons at once and killing my machine , how do i dtop this monster?
[08:10] <CalimeroTeknik> use another distro, ubuntu is like that
[08:10] <broMonrr> can not change distro if can not creat a usb start up disk
[08:10] <broMonrr> ?
[08:10] <k1l_> broMonrr: no need to change the distro o_O
[08:11] <broMonrr> yes 13.04 is hell on earth
[08:11] <k1l_> broMonrr: if your system is quite old or slow you can try another more lightmweight desktop like lxde (lubuntu)
[08:12] <broMonrr> k1l_: can not change distro because 13.04 will not Satrtup Disk Creator dont work
[08:12] <broMonrr> how to change to lxde ?
[08:12] <CalimeroTeknik> what are the specs of your machine?
[08:12] <k1l_> broMonrr: you could install the metapackage: lubuntu-desktop
[08:12] <Name141> xubuntu-desktop
[08:12] <Name141> er oops
[08:12] <Name141> lubuntu
[08:12] <k1l_> and then choose lubuntu (lxde) on the loginscreen

[08:17] <broMonrr> sorry guys I dont even know what paste bin is so i need to just go buy a mac book and be done with this madness
[08:17] <reisio> heh
[08:17] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: If you want to post something more than one line, post it to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com then give us just the link.
[08:17] <reisio> best reason ever to buy a mac
[08:17] <k1l_> broMonrr: stop that nonsense ranting and flaming
[08:17] <tskorte_> aladdin: Good luck, it'll probably be awesome. Hehe, "<3" is according to my niece a way of displaying love.
[08:17] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: I've been talking with someone else, and checked my connections, and he lead me to do fsck
[08:18] <tskorte_> Get a mac and install Ubuntu :D
[08:18] <thurstylark> Jordan_U: turns out I had a lot of errors
[08:18] <reisio> broMonrr: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu
[08:18] <CalimeroTeknik> doesn't understand what pastebin is → buys a mac? what kild of logic is that
[08:18] <CalimeroTeknik> kind*
[08:18] <SinnerNyx> from command line if I do "mv .* /dest/" it tries to copy "." and "..". How can I specify to copy all hidden files not including "." and ".."?
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Please everyone stop with the offtopic chatter and keep things to support.
[08:18] <SinnerNyx> *move
[08:18] <histo> broMonrr: dd if=some.iso of=/dev/of/usb
[08:19] <CalimeroTeknik> SinnerNyx, there is an imperfect solution to this; it's .??*
[08:19] <diverdude> Why is MTU (seen via ifconfig) set to 16436 when i in /etc/network/interfaces have specified it to 8192 like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5757486/ ?
[08:19] <CalimeroTeknik> doesn't copy .a
[08:19] <SinnerNyx> CalimeroTeknik: I guess that's good enough for me.
[08:19] <SinnerNyx> thanks CalimeroTeknik
[08:20] <histo> SinnerNyx: find . -typef -iname '.*' -exec mv {} /dest +
[08:20] <CalimeroTeknik> histo, does that not find . and .. ?
[08:20] <aladdin> tskorte_: aha, she is smart :). did you go throug update process as well? it bugs me a lot with an update and fails to update. maybe it is because of worst internet connection all around australia hehe
[08:21] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: Be *very* careful with dd, as it will completely wipe whatever device you pass so you want to be sure you don't accidentally pass your internal hard drive or something else which still has data you want.
[08:21] <histo> CalimeroTeknik: SinnerNyx yeah if you "-type f" i typoed it up earlier
[08:21] <tskorte_> aladdin: Yah, the update part bugged a lot. Got these "No network connection"-type errors. I just clicked "ok" and Steam was working :)
[08:21] <CalimeroTeknik> ah indeed. only files then, not folders
[08:21] <Jordan_U> histo: Please always accompany dd commands (and possibly dangerous commands in general) with a warning.
[08:22] <kupraset> hi yall
[08:22] <tskorte_> broMonrr: Find your usb disk first with lsblk. Then check it again with lsblk /dev/<your usb device> to make sure you've got the right one.
[08:22] <broMonrr> look , if someone want to be an Ubuntu pro , answer this, why is it that so many people are having this In/Out error with usb Startup Disk Creator essentially making it impossible to create a USB boot drive with any other distro from within 13.04 ? simple question yes?
[08:22] <kupraset> has anyone problems with playing urban terror on ubuntu?
[08:22] <histo> !usb | broMonrr
[08:23] <histo> broMonrr: not too many people having issues. I don't use startup disk creator as you can just use dd as mentioned being carefull.
[08:23] <broMonrr> histo: no way , i have spent all day on line reseaching this issue and no one knows what is going on .
[08:23] <broMonrr> histo: have no idea what dd means
[08:24] <broMonrr> how to change from 13.04 to lubuntu from within 13.04 is we can not create a iso boot usb ?
[08:24] <histo> broMonrr: Please read the link from ubottu about the "proper" directions for creating a usb installation media
[08:24] <histo> broMonrr: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[08:24] <k1l_> broMonrr: again: isntall the lubuntu-desktop package
[08:24] <k1l_> broMonrr: if you dont listen to the answers and just want to rant in here stop asking
[08:24] <broMonrr> k1l_: OH OK
[08:25] <broMonrr> so i type that into the teminal and get lubuntu ?
[08:25] <CalimeroTeknik> yeah, it's packages
[08:25] <k1l_> you will get the more lightweight lubuntu desktop, yes
[08:25] <CalimeroTeknik> however it being a netbook I assume you have a single-core 1.6GHz proc and 1G ram
[08:25] <CalimeroTeknik> ubuntu isn't quite the thing for such machines
[08:25] <broMonrr> histo: hey man , i am serious , i read all that stuff already and lots of people getting this In/Out error not due to RAM but they seem to think thats its a RAM issue when its not .
[08:26] <broMonrr> CalimeroTeknik: i guess, maybe like 1.6 RAM or something
[08:26] <aladdin> tskorte_: yeah. cool. went okay this time. cheers
[08:26] <histo> broMonrr: if you are getting IO errors it's probably due to an issue with your device... e.g. it's going bad
[08:26] <tskorte_> aladdin: Sweet, enjoy :)
[08:26] <k1l_> CalimeroTeknik: stop that! ubuntu 13.04 runs fine on my 1st gen atom netbook
[08:26] <CalimeroTeknik> broMonrr, this is nonsense, what is 1.6 ram ?
[08:26] <broMonrr> CalimeroTeknik: its what i thought man sorry
[08:27] <CalimeroTeknik> okay but explain, what is 1.6 ram ?
[08:27] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: Please run "dmesg" in a terminal, copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com, and post the link to the output here.
[08:27] <broMonrr> CalimeroTeknik: let me try this lubuntu, Hope my netbook isnt going to pot
[08:27] <histo> broMonrr: that is fine for ubuntu... however for more perfomance you can run ubuntu with a lighter de like lxde or xfce.  lubuntu-desktop is lxde based xubuntu-desktop is xfce based. the choice is yours it's all free
[08:27] <broMonrr> Jordan_U: sorry man i dont know paste bin.
[08:27] <histo> broMonrr: he just told you how to use it
[08:27] <broMonrr> histo: ok cook then imma try that
[08:28] <histo> broMonrr: you could also sudo apt-get install pastebinit then just dmesg | pastebinit
[08:28] <broMonrr> histo: quantum physics to me man
[08:28] <broMonrr> thanks again eyem out bbl i hope
[08:29] <pwlodarz> Hi, I'm having problems with using pam_tally2 and gdm. Each time I switch a user on the login screen the failed login count gets up by 1, because gdm attempts nopasswdlogin. How can I prevent gdm from attempting to nopasswdlogin?
[08:30] <jimicentos> tally2
[08:30] <TKing> is it possible to rewind my ubuntu? just like system restore in windows? removing the gnome shell 3 fucked my ubuntu graphics is bad folders with many files drags when i scroll down
[08:30] <Jordan_U> !language | TKing
[08:30] <histo> TKing: just purge gnome-shell
[08:30] <king_slayer> *If you purge gnome-shell, you're going to have a bad time*
[08:30] <callen> I'm having problems with my upstart job in /etc/init, service/initctl/et al don't seem to see the job. status: Unknown job
[08:31] <callen> https://www.refheap.com/5471cb430dda4d0e426aa86ab this is the script, I don't see any relevant logs in /var/log/upstart either.
[08:31] <histo> king_slayer: he has unity installed
[08:31] <TKing> hist purge doesnt work
[08:31] <callen> is there something I've seriously misunderstood? I'm running service as root, the conf in /etc/init is owned by root:root
[08:32] <histo> TKing: Please describe your current issue... Let's take care of one at a time. You kept jumping all over the place earlier when I was helping you.
[08:33] <TKing> histo, all issues are caused by install and removal of gnome-shell? i can not right click on desktop or see shortcuts on desktop
[08:33] <Sefid_Par> I have installed wrong version compat-drivers. The linux version is 3.8.0-22-generic but I installed compat-drivers-3.8.3-2; And now ubuntu does not boot in normal mode.  Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:46] <phillustine> in order that your msg comes up on my screen do you use the "/msg" function?
[08:46] <bekks> Only for a private query.
[08:46] <TKing> please cna someone help me check into this problem, i have explained in details? i cant right click on desktop http://paste.ubuntu.com/5757527/
[08:46] <Guest10552> have  xubuntu 12.04 nvidia drivers and no sound via hdmi kernel 3.2.
[08:46] <boytoy> Hi, what does kill -USR1 and kill -USR2 do?
[08:46] <bekks> phillustine: In here, just put the name of the person you want to address in front of what you want to write to him/her.
[08:47] <phillustine> bekks so
[08:47] <phillustine> bekks and that popped up on your screen
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> boytoy: check the man page for kill
[08:47] <boytoy> ActionParsnip: I don't have access to it, I tried searching for it online
[08:47] <tskorte_> I have this Asus EEEBox (1501P) with the ION2 chipset, I installed 13.04 and things are very slow. Is this due to the hardware of the box or is there perhaps a problem with the harddrive? (I've rund hd tests and they all went fine). Installed the Nvidia drivers as well.
[08:48] <llutz> boytoy: it sends those signals (USR1/2) to the process
[08:48] <bekks> phillustine: It didnt pop up, but it was displayed hilighted, in the normal flow of this channel, so I noticed it.
[08:48] <boytoy> llutz: Interesting
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> Guest33987: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[08:48] <phillustine> aha. because it popped up on my screen?
[08:48] <phillustine> bekks: do you work in any ubuntu capacity?
[08:48] <boytoy> llutz: So those signals are only understood by the process then and has nothing to do with the kill or the OS?
[08:48] <llutz> boytoy: i.e. if you send USR1 to a running dd-process, it answers with a status output
[08:48] <bekks> phillustine: No.
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> boytoy: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?kill    you have access, the man pages are available online....
[08:48] <phillustine> bekks: just a fan
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> boytoy: not thought of that?
[08:49] <boytoy> ActionParsnip: thank you
[08:49] <llutz> boytoy: well, not every process understands all those signals. so yes, its mainly process-dependend
[08:49] <boytoy> great, awesome
[08:50] <mac_> hy all.. i have some sys crash.. only known issue is -> cant run gpart.. after password check.. nothing happens
[08:50] <llutz> boytoy: kill -HUP   ... forces some processes to reread configs etc.pp. no general rule for those i guess
[08:50] <mac_> please help
[08:51] <boytoy> llutz: hmm yeah..
[08:52] <histo> TKing: have you removed the ppa and installed ubuntu-desktop meta package?
[08:52] <histo> !ppa | TKing
[08:52] <Tking> ActionParsnip, please can you look into this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5757527
[08:53] <histo> Tking: there is a reason ppa's aren't supported. it could have installed newer versions of certain software that is causing issues.
[08:53] <phillustine> bekks: why does your handle appear in a different colour to the rest?
[08:54] <histo> phillustine: did he highlight your name?
[08:54] <bekks> phillustine: Because I am hilighting you :)
[08:54] <bekks> Compare it to this post.
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> Tking: I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer
[08:54] <phillustine> bekks: how does that work?
[08:54] <mac_> hy all.. i have some sys crash.. only known issue is -> cant run gpart.. after password check.. nothing happens - > please 4 prvt msg
[08:55] <histo> !repeat | mac_
[08:55] <bekks> phillustine: Your client knows what your nickname is, and hilight everything that is addressed to you.
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> t_kjaergaard: you have added a 3rd party package source to your OS, what do you expect. Why not stick with the packages intended for your OS which are known to work....?
[08:55] <histo> mac_: after password check where?
[08:55] <phillustine> bekks: me sees now.
[08:55] <histo> and wth is "some sys crash..."
[08:55] <phillustine> histo: thanks.
[08:56] <t_kjaergaard> ActionParsnip: Huh?
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> t_kjaergaard: wrong target, sorry
[08:56] <ActionParsnip> TKing:  you have added a 3rd party package source to your OS, what do you expect. Why not stick with the packages intended for your OS which are known to work....?
[08:56] <t_kjaergaard> ActionParsnip: np :)
[08:56] <broMonrr> http://pastebin.com/XhPiZQzG
[08:56] <broMonrr> can onyone see that
[08:57] <broMonrr> that is my issue right there
[08:57] <histo> broMonrr: yes we can see it
[08:57] <broMonrr> when i tried to format my usb to FAT 32 it created this
[08:57] <Jordan_U> TKing: ppa-purge might help you.
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: what are you trying to do?
[08:57] <Jordan_U> !ppa-purge | TKing
[08:57] <histo> broMonrr: is this a wubi install?
[08:57] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: what causes the exception?
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: +1
[08:58] <broMonrr> ActionParsnip: that did that by itself , i just formatted the usb in preparation to create a bootable usb using Starupdisk Creator
[08:58] <histo> broMonrr: that looks like you have the usb installer mounted.. I though you were trying to fix your drive?
[08:58] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[08:58] <broMonrr> no i am trying to create a 12.04 distro install usb and it put those folders on there why ?
[08:58] <broMonrr> why did Ubuntu put those folderso on my usb drive
[08:58] <broMonrr> boot /casper etc/...
[08:58] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: Could you please run "dmesg" in a terminal and pastebin the output?
[08:59] <broMonrr> wait
[08:59] <k1l_> broMonrr: that is needed for the live-usb-system to work.
[09:00] <TKing> Joran_U can u give example of ppa-purge? is it like ppa ubuntu-name.com/subdirectory
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: try using unetbootin, those files you see are what makes the liveUSB work
[09:00] <broMonrr> http://pastebin.com/q7s3Lv8F
[09:00] <broMonrr> dmesg
[09:00] <Jordan_U> TKing: The link from ubottu includes examples.
[09:00] <TKing> ActionParnship? there is nothing like restore to older date in Ubuntu?
[09:01] <broMonrr> ActionParsnip: can i use unetbootin in Ubuntu 13.04?
[09:01] <MonkeyDust> broMonrr  you can use it to install 13.04
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> TKing: the link in your pastebin has a section called "Uninstalling Gnome 3.8"  did you see it
[09:01] <broMonrr> MonkeyDust:  i think thats what i already did
[09:01] <phillustine> Does anyone here use their Ubuntu knowledge in any professional capacity?
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> TKing: its all there for you?
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: yes it is in the repos
[09:02] <bantu_pinjaman_> nonok
[09:02] <MonkeyDust> broMonrr  havent followed, what's the issue?
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> !info unetbootin | broMonrr
[09:02] <histo> broMonrr: [  108.574963] attempt to access beyond end of device  this is an issue
[09:02] <broMonrr> i am simply trying to create a bootable usb drive hre with 12.04 LTS on it and no i never did MD5 my iso
[09:02] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: you should otherwise yuo have no way of knowing if the file is complete and consistant
[09:02] <Anone> hey guys
[09:02] <mac_> freezed :(
[09:02] <histo> broMonrr: well md5sum /path/to/some/ubuntu.iso
[09:03] <broMonrr> how to MD5 my 12.04 iso and how to download a new good one from whre is best ?
[09:03] <shadowmancer> hmmm just going to kinda bump my http://askubuntu.com/questions/307163/fresh-install-doesnt-appear-to-work?noredirect=1#comment386867_307163, which to add also confirmed my md5 hash
[09:03] <histo> !md5sum | broMonrr
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: the source doesnt matter in any way, as long as the hash matches then it is fine
[09:03] <histo> broMonrr: I also would use unetbootin if you are unfamiliar with dd.. This ofcourse after verifying your iso with md5sum
[09:03] <Agd_Scorp> Guys
[09:03] <broMonrr> what is good link for 12.04 lts dl ?
[09:03] <Agd_Scorp> I need some serious help.
[09:03] <Anone> sup
[09:03] <Agd_Scorp> bronMonrr, please
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> broMonrr: you could download it from the dirtiest warez site youcan find, if the hash is identical then it is as good as one downloaded from an official source
[09:04] <Agd_Scorp> I need help
[09:04] <Agd_Scorp> Anone, please
[09:04] <FloodBot1> Agd_Scorp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:04] <sIRwa2> lol
[09:04] <Agd_Scorp> hello?
[09:05] <Jordan_U> Agd_Scorp: Nobody is going to stop everything they're doing to help you. The best way to get a quick and useful response is to ask a good question.
[09:05] <Agd_Scorp> my wifi is not working.

[09:05] <Agd_Scorp> wlan0 is disabled
[09:05] <Agd_Scorp> i did "rfkill unblock all"
[09:05] <Agd_Scorp> but it still shows me this:

[09:06] <Agd_Scorp> why is everyone so quiet now
[09:06] <Jordan_U> Agd_Scorp: Please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com for anything more than one line.
[09:06] <reisio> Agd_Scorp: 5am
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: please use a pastebin for multiple lines
[09:07] <Agd_Scorp> sorry for the nuisance
[09:07] <Agd_Scorp> i will paste
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | Agd_Scorp and read this
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: also add the output of:  cat /etc/issue; lsb_release -a; uname -a
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: note the host name ;)
[09:07] <sIRwa2> i have a paste that i like someone to look at. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5757437/
[09:08] <oddie-> hello all, Anyone know a nice easy way to clean up /boot. I cannot install the latest update as it is full
[09:08] <Agd_Scorp> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5757561/
[09:08] <Agd_Scorp> problem: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5757561/
[09:08] <shadowmancer> any thoughts as to my issue guys?
[09:08] <Agd_Scorp> ActionParsnip: please see http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5757561/
[09:09] <reisio> oddie-: what've you got in there?
[09:09] <Jordan_U> oddie-: Uninstall old kernel packages. Why do you have a separate /boot/ partition at all?
[09:09] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  it's backtrack, that's not supported here
[09:09] <Agd_Scorp> backtrack runs ubuntu
[09:09] <oddie-> thx all
[09:09] <Agd_Scorp> and i am in #ubuntu
[09:09] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  type /join #backtrack-linux
[09:09] <bekks> Agd_Scorp: backtrack doesnt run ubuntu.
[09:09] <Agd_Scorp> nobody will help me in #backtrack-linux
[09:09] <Agd_Scorp> its outdated now
[09:09] <Agd_Scorp> :(
[09:09] <shadowmancer> Agd_Scorp:  backtrack isn't ubuntu, it has similarities but is not ubuntu
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: backtrack is not supported here. Lucid is also EOL on the desktop so using it is a futile exercise
[09:10] <tskorte_> Agd_Scorp: Try rfkill unblock all
[09:10] <Agd_Scorp> tskorte_, i did
[09:10] <DJones> Agd_Scorp: Backtrack isn't a supported version of Ubuntu, its only supported in its own channel
[09:10] <Agd_Scorp> it doesn't work
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: #backtrack-linux will support you
[09:10] <Agd_Scorp> * #backtrack-linux :Cannot send to channel
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  wrong channel
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: you aren't using ubuntu, so not supported here
[09:10] <Agd_Scorp> #backtrack-linux is closed.
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: then ask in #freenode for why
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be supported here
[09:11] <Agd_Scorp> but any idea
[09:11] <DJones> Agd_Scorp: Please join #freenode to find out how you can connect and talk in the backtrack channel
[09:11] <Agd_Scorp> how can i fix this
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: you are CLEARY new to the OS so why not start with a distro with a bit more support and uses the OS right, at least ti you become familiar with the OS
[09:11] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  consider installing ubuntu, instead of backtrack, you'll get much more support
[09:11] <broMonrr> so I just decided to download a new iso for 12.04 lts. and do i still need to do a md5 sum on it anyway ? everytime i gotta do this ? in terminal i type the command for md5 sum and the path to the iso and it will tell me the sum, but then what ? what do i compare the sum to? am still confused sue to lack of understanding
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: you aren't supported here
[09:11] <DJones> Agd_Scorp: Please stop asking here, this channel only deals with support queries for the official versions of Ubuntu
[09:12] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  and ubuntu is more userfriendly than backtrack
[09:12] <Jordan_U> !md5sums | broMonrr
[09:13] <histo> Agd_Scorp: do you have a physical switch to disable/enable wifi?
[09:13] <broMonrr> Jordan_U: everytime you post that link i click it and it opens a blank abiword document on my desktop , i am confused more now
[09:13] <Agd_Scorp> histo; nope.
[09:13] <histo> Agd_Scorp: rfkill unlbock 0
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> histo: please support in PM if you must
[09:14] <histo> Agd_Scorp: /join #kali-linux
[09:14] <shadowmancer> anyone have any generalized solutions for when kernel panic init not found issue occurs as described http://askubuntu.com/questions/307163/fresh-install-doesnt-appear-to-work
[09:14] <Agd_Scorp> histo; please come to #kali-linux so we can talk there.
[09:14] <histo> !md5sum | shadowmancer
[09:14] <Agd_Scorp> histo; http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5757561/
[09:14] <histo> Agd_Scorp: I'm already there
[09:14] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  backtrack-linux, kali-linux, now really.....
[09:14] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: I have no idea why that's happening, but you can always copy and paste the URL into the browser.
[09:14] <shadowmancer> ubottu: been there and confirmed the md5 is right
[09:15] <broMonrr> Jordan_U: maybe becausee i got a download going on . i cant click links on here anymore they open this abiword thing
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: I suggest you install precise, you will benefit from the huge Ubuntu community rather than the tiny backtrack one
[09:16] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: Let's stick with one problem at a time. Just copy and paste the URL into your browser to work around that issue for now.
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: I was right :)
[09:18] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  you're the greatest!
[09:18] <MonkeyDust> :p
[09:18] <SteveBell> morning, I'm trying to setup shared access to an ex hdd I have connected to ubuntu. so I installed samba and enabled folder sharing in the file manager for that drive. trying to access that drive from os x results in: I can copy files from that drive. I can play them (so access is fine) but I can't delete them from OS X. it says the file would be in use. any ideas what I can do about that?
[09:18] <shadowmancer> this issue is kinda getting me bummed cause i've never had an issue with a ubuntu distro yet, and now i can't even run it, and this laptop is a backup which had windows fall over and die and i thought ubuntu would save it
[09:19] <Agd_Scorp> shadowmancer; breath, bro, breath.
[09:19] <data> hi, i have a problem with mouse cursors in gtk applications, or so I currently think. They just don't appear, only in certain kinds of applications. T I have changed cursor themes and am at a loss
[09:19] <shadowmancer> Agd_Scorp: coming from the dude who kept single lining, flooding the place, and freaking out going i need this solved now and all this stuff :P
[09:19] <mac_> hy all.. my gnome looks like ubuntu 2d panel... any ideas?
[09:20] <mac_> plase prvt msg me
[09:20] <SteveBell> also I can copy files over to the target drive fine as well. so all that'S missing to make me happy is the ability to delete files on the target drive from OS X.
[09:20] <Agd_Scorp> shadowmancer; I'm going on a vacation, so my problem had to be solved.
[09:21] <Kartagis> susundberg:  at last I was able to reinstall ubuntu (suigeneris here)
[09:22] <shadowmancer> Agd_Scorp:  and I have been working at this issue for 3 days, have next to no computer except for the fact that I am using a live usb, and have a 500gig hdd which is essentially just storage as I can't use it with ubuntu. I can technically do my studies on it, but I would like to not rely on the usb
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: its still not supported here
[09:22] <broMonrr> Jordan_U: so when i go to do step 2 , from my terminal within the Download directory , the command that i run is "md5sum ubuntu-whatever distro.iso" ? is this correct or is the exaample provided corect ?
[09:22] <shadowmancer> Agd_Scorp: I am not being condescending or saying your issue is smaller then mine
[09:22] <SteveBell> scratch that. just managed to delete a file. so all seems to be fine. sry for the noise.
[09:22] <shadowmancer> Agd_Scorp: I am just saying that we all have issues
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> shadowmancer: none here :)
[09:22] <aladdin> possible to remove movie player? and how to? i did sudo remove pkg movie player
[09:23] <shadowmancer> ActionParsnip: hahaha well I was being philosophical smarty pants :P
[09:23] <SteveBell> correction: this is a little flakey. could delete one file but not another. so maybe a rights issue?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: I suggest you wipe out what you have and do a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 i is LTS and supported til April 2017, it will also give you ful Ubuntu community support
[09:23] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: You run "md5sum name-of-iso-file.iso"
[09:23] <mac_> can any1 please help me out over my ubuntu 12.04 lts?
[09:23] <DJones> mac_: Just explaion your problem in details in the channel, that way you get the benefit of multiple users able to offer help and if its a problem affecting more than just you, others can learn as well
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: why did you install backtrack?
[09:23] <broMonrr> Jordan_U: ok
[09:23] <mac_> my gnome 3 looks like ubuntu 2d panel
[09:24] <tskorte_> aladdin: sudo apt-get autoremove movie player
[09:24] <phillustine> Does anyone work in any Ubuntu-ing capacity?
[09:24] <Agd_Scorp> ActioParsnip; pentesting stuff
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> mac_: can you give a screenshot please, use imageshack or similar to make a URL of the image
[09:24] <broMonrr> Jordan_U: am downloading a new iso from verified link now
[09:24] <mac_> i dont know how...
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: I see, then you will still need to ask in the backtrack / kali / whatever channels
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> mac_: how do you do it in Windows?
[09:25] <aladdin> tskorte_: noah, did not work
[09:25] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  you're not in the right channel for support
[09:25] <Jordan_U> broMonrr: Was the md5sum of the old iso incorrect or did you not check it?
[09:25] <mac_> i dont use windows
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> mac_: or in MacOS...print screen button on the keyboard...?
[09:25] <mac_> can u please prvt msg me? cant afford to miss the instructions
[09:25] <tskorte_> aladdin: what movie player is it?
[09:26] <Simson-san> hey, I accidently removed the first 8MB Sectors of one of my harddrives in my server that was configured with LVM2. So the LVM Header and Partitiontable is removed I think. Is there a way to recover the LVM and Partition? I know exactly how the LVM and Partitions was configured and i have the lvm backups in /etc/lvm/backup and /etc/lvm/archives . I hope someone here can help me :-)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> mac_: I will highlight you
[09:26] <Jordan_U> mac_: You can use "/lastlog mac_" to display all messages that have been sent to or from you, if you have a decent client.
[09:26] <aladdin> tskorte_: the default on
[09:26] <aladdin> one
[09:26] <shadowmancer> not wanting to sound critical to any of my other channel goers, but it seems alot of people here are making things unneccessarily difficult, posting in wrong channel, asking for private messages when going on the channel is easier ... just an observation
[09:26] <mac_> http://imagebin.org/261100
[09:27] <mac_> did it work?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> mac_: ok what is wrong with it?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> mac_: yes, looks decent
[09:27] <tskorte_> aladdin: Have you tried to uninstall it from the software center?
[09:27] <mac_> it looks like a ubutnu 2d panel!
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> mac_: that's the classic session, what were you expecting?
[09:28] <mac_> gnome 3
[09:28] <Jordan_U> mac_: You probably have driver problems preventing you from having proper 3D acceleration, and thus GNOME is falling back to gnome-fallback.
[09:28] <mac_> as i loged in
[09:28] <Simson-san> please send me a pm if you want help me ;-)
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> mac_: that is gnome3, its the classic session but it will be gnome 3
[09:28] <mac_> aha
[09:28] <aladdin> tskorte_: hehe, it worked. i simply want to develop a habit of using command line to look coolish moolish
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> Simson-san: ask in here, more eyes = more answers
[09:28] <mac_> ok?
[09:28] <joossee> how do i make ubuntu use a proprietary driver? amd with ati radeon ...?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> mac_: Gnome3 has been the default for a while now
[09:29] <mac_> apt-get report no update
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> mac_: it may look like Gnome2 but its all using Gnome3
[09:29] <mac_> additional driver, updated one driver..
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> mac_: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[09:29] <Agd_Scorp> mac_: what's your problem?
[09:29] <Agd_Scorp> ActionParsnip, do you believe in God?
[09:29] <mac_> \n \l
[09:30] <Simson-san> ActionParsnip, have already asked but noone answered...
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Agd_Scorp: that is offtopic here
[09:30] <mac_> Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> Simson-san: give it a little while, then reask
[09:30] <tskorte_> aladdin: Hahaha, know the feeling ;)
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-session precise | mac_
[09:30] <Agd_Scorp> Do you guys use Facebook?
[09:30] <Agd_Scorp> my account got disabled
[09:31] <Agd_Scorp> by facebook since
[09:31] <Agd_Scorp> i found a sqli-vuln
[09:31] <Agd_Scorp> on m.facebook.com
[09:31] <Agd_Scorp> they got pissed
[09:31] <FloodBot1> Agd_Scorp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> mac_: gnome 3.2.1 in precise
[09:31] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  facebook is offtopic here
[09:31] <mac_> ubottu what?
[09:31] <Agd_Scorp> MonkeyDust: who is the creator/main developer of Ubuntu?
[09:31] <aladdin> tskorte_: it is actually sudo apt-get remove totem (this is the name of the movie player)
[09:31] <Jordan_U> Agd_Scorp: This channel is *only* for Ubuntu support. Please stop with the offtopic comments. This is your last warning.
[09:31] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  please, you're not in the right channel
[09:31] <ActionParsnip> mac_: if you are missing the Unity shell, log off and change session to Ubuntu (use the ubuntu logo near your username)
[09:32] <mac_> and than?
[09:32] <tskorte_> aladdin: I suspected that, 'autoremove' removes all the dependencies as well. That's why it didn't work :)
[09:32] <mac_> brb
[09:32] <MonkeyDust> Agd_Scorp  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of questions
[09:33] <joossee> how do i make ubuntu use a proprietary driver? amd with ati radeon ...? i have the driver ibstalled but it says "this driver is activated but not currently in use"..?
[09:33] <joossee> 64 bit AMD ubuntu 12.04 lts
[09:33] <shadowmancer> This is my question http://askubuntu.com/questions/307163/fresh-install-doesnt-appear-to-work
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> joossee: which radeon gpu?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> joossee: sudo lshw -C display    will show you if you are unsure
[09:34] <mac_> ok
[09:34] <mac_> in ubuntu 3d
[09:34] <shadowmancer> whoops sorry for repeat asking just actually read the code of conduct >.<
[09:36] <shadowmancer> I guess I just really am out of ideas
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> mac_: all ok now?
[09:36] <mac_> no..
[09:36] <mac_> :(
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> mac_: so what is the issue?
[09:37] <mac_> i need gnome as it was ..back.. :(
[09:37] <histo> shadowmancer: did you perform an md5sum yet of the iso and the installation media?
[09:37] <phillustine> Does anyone here use Ubuntu in their job?
[09:37] <Jordan_U> !ot | phillustine
[09:38] <shadowmancer> histo: just the installation media, and it seems to match if I checked it (did it by eye) didn't bother doing the iso as the installation media would I would assume match the iso
[09:38] <phillustine> told off.
[09:38] <AD7six> phillustine: a huge number of people do
[09:38] <histo> shadowmancer: true
[09:38] <Agd_Scorp> phillustine; meet the god, strangle the god.
[09:38] <phillustine> i'll go with my unwanted questions elsewhere
[09:38] <histo> shadowmancer: no idea I would try searching for your specific hardware on askubuntu or in the forums
[09:38] <SteveBell> when I change the folder access rights in file manager, should all subfolders be changed as well?
[09:38] <histo> phillustine: /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:39] <SteveBell> I'm on 12.04 LTS
[09:39] <histo> SteveBell: not unless you tell it to.
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> mac_: how should it look then...maybe you could find an example online
[09:39] <SteveBell> histo, how'd I do that?
[09:39] <AD7six> "Sorry, the application compiz has stopped unexpectedly" after submitting the crash report - can I see/find it somewhere?
[09:39] <joossee> ActionParsnip, product: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320] and ty
[09:39] <shadowmancer> histo: As well I have done both with the 32 and 64 bit build and the issue appears to still be consistent
[09:39] <k1l_> phillustine: this is a technical support channel. we have a social chat channel for noon technical questions. just use: #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:39] <aladdin> tskorte_: okay mate :)
[09:39] <histo> shadowmancer: Yeah I read that.
[09:40] <joossee> ActionParsnip, its a zotac nano ad11 ..
[09:40] <shadowmancer> when it says it cannot locate the init file, does it mean initrd.img or does it mean a .conf script
[09:40] <histo> shadowmancer: is this a uefi system?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: It means PID 1, upstart, which is nothing like an initrd or a ".conf script".
[09:41] <mac_> am... on the left.. upper corner.. there is "activities" button? black panel over the screen, roundet corners..
[09:42] <shadowmancer> histo: Nope plain old BIOS
[09:42] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init
[09:42] <mac_> clock in the middle..
[09:42] <shadowmancer> Jordan_U: hmmm I thought that as well and tried directing it to sbin/init which it didnt agree with either, and as I said in my question, it doesn't seem to want to save the output to any log
[09:43] <SteveBell> when trying to change subfolders I see the message: "restricted to only sharing directories we own. ask the admin to add the line "usershare owner only = false" to the global section of the smb.conf"
[09:43] <joossee> ActionParsnip, the forums seem to say that the lightweight ubuntus work best...? i like lubuntu anyways
[09:44] <shadowmancer> Jordan_U:  thanks for the link on the Init, never knew that, guess the more you know ey
[09:44] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: You're welcome.
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> joossee: run the command I gave, what Radeon chip do you use?
[09:45] <shadowmancer> Jordan_U: doesn't really solve my problem but useful info :P
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> mac_: ohhhh gnome shell?
[09:45] <mac_> yes
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> mac_: then select that from the login screen, if you don't have it then reinstall the gnome-shell package
[09:45] <mac_> but now.. it looks like an ubuntu 2d.. can we try to fix that ?
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> mac_: why didn't you say gnome-shell ?
[09:46] <mac_> cuz.. i am newb?
[09:46] <mac_> sorry
[09:46] <joossee> ActionParsnip, Radeon HD 6320
[09:46] <mac_> re-log-in'
[09:47] <mac_> ActionParsnip, what to do?
[09:48] <mac_> and there is another kind of problem... no wi-fi?
[09:48] <shadowmancer> been reading through the grub2 documentation, and it gave me an idea
[09:50] <mac_> ActionParsnip, ?
[09:50] <AD7six> hmm that's interesting if I use only two monitors... unity does not crash
[09:50] <Sefid_Par> histo: Would you guide me how to remove the drivers?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> joossee: under system settings you should see additional drivers, or try running jockey-gtk
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> mac_: instal the package then log off then log in to the gnome-shell session
[09:51] <mac_> help to do this?
[09:51] <mac_> please?
[09:52] <MonkeyDust> mac_  logout, click on the ubuntu logo, change, login
[09:52] <mac_> will extensions remain?
[09:52] <mac_> i am inside ubuntu
[09:53] <joossee> ActionParsnip, "this driver is activated but not currently in use"
[09:54] <mac_> MonkeyDust, i am inside ubuntu shell
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-shell
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> mac_: sudo apt-get --renistall install gnome-shell
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> mac_: I have no idea about extensions
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> joossee: reboot to apply
[09:55] <mac_> E: Command line option --renistall is not understood
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> joossee: I assume you read the !ati factoid
[09:55] <AD7six> if I unplug one of my 3 monitors, and use the guest login - I automatically have 2 working monitors with two working launcer bar things. If I use all 3 monitors, when I login as guest there is a delay and it uses all 3 monitors as mirrors. Where could I fid the log file which would possibly/probably indicate why that is?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> mac_: typo, --reinstall
[09:55] <joossee> ActionParsnip, know what/where is the factoid??
[09:55] <DJones> mac_: Correct the typo in the command --reinstall
[09:56] <AD7six> if after logging in with 3 monitors plugged i I choose to disable mirror displays - the launder disappers when the desktop redraws.
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> !ati | joossee
[09:56] <mac_> it is procesing...
[09:57] <mac_> done
[09:57] <mac_> am.. and there is another kind of problem.. no wi-fi card? but i am sure laptop has a wi-fi
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> mac_: sudo lshw -C network     will show the wifi chip
[09:58] <kensan_> chunky monkey
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> mac_: if you log off and log in to the gnome-shell session
[09:59] <haikong> i can't install the gnome-shell extensions
[09:59] <mac_> got it in terminal
[09:59] <mac_> am...
[10:00] <mac_> going.. to try gnome
[10:00] <haikong> j
[10:00] <haikong> j
[10:03] <mac_> no-go
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> mac_: can you expand on that. Saying 'no-go' tells us nothing at all
[10:03] <mac_> gnome shell still looks like ubuntu 2d
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> mac_: try presing ALT+F2 and run:  gnome-shell --replace
[10:04] <AD7six> hmm.. .xsession-errors with 3 monitors plugged in gives some insight as to what's happening http://paste.ubuntu.com/5757699/
[10:04] <mac_> nothing happens on alt-f2
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> mac_: or in a terminal
[10:04] <mac_> terminal ready.. what to put in?
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> mac_: the same command......
[10:05] <Chat9116> السلام
[10:06] <mac_> result is inside prvt msg.. sorry 4 it
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> !arabic
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> mac_: use a pastebin and put the link in the channel
[10:07] <simbrown> Can anyone explain why a Precise 32 bit system (not PAE) only reports 2GB of RAM when 4 is installed?
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> simbrown: do you use onboard video?
[10:07] <simbrown> Booting a 64bit build reports the correct amount.
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> simbrown: can you pastebin the output of:  free -m; uname -a     Thanks
[10:08] <simbrown> no discrete Nvidia, but it's a low end card
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> simbrown: can you make the pastebin please :)
[10:09] <simbrown> ActionParsnip: Yes the box is booting
