[00:02] <ubuntivity> I'll do the same, then. lonewulf85
[00:02] <lonewulf85> I have this from my /etc/fstab file http://paste.ubuntu.com/5916628/ when I start my system says failed to find swap  press m to manually retrieve or s to skip. Any ideas
[00:04] <ubuntivity> What do you get on "mount"? Is your swap listed there with the same UUID?
[00:05] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, My mnt folder is empty.
[00:06] <ubuntivity> what about the output of "mount" in terminal?
[00:07] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, I got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5916639/
[00:08] <lonewulf85> So no swap there.
[00:09] <Celerity_Linuxx_> what happens when I intsall multiple kernels with different arch's
[00:09] <Celerity_Linuxx_> ?
[00:09] <lonewulf85> Celeriy_Linuxx_, Windows lol no but it could cause some instability.
[00:10] <lauratika> i change the name of my pc and now everytime im using terminal get this message sudo: unable to resolve host RLAB
[00:11] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, That issue with my swap is the only part of my load that is slow.
[00:11] <Celerity_Linuxx_> lonewulf85: what is the worst case scenerio? I am trying to make my own distrobution based off debian and you guys are the closest I've got
[00:11] <ubuntivity> lonewulf85: it seems that "mount" isn't showing swap here too :/  Would you try Disk Utility to see if your swap exists on sda5?
[00:12] <lonewulf85> Celerity_Linuxx_, I have never attempted my own distro but there could be some stability issues, I would try to google making my own distro. that might have some good information on it.
[00:12] <Celerity_Linuxx_> I've done that
[00:13] <Celerity_Linuxx_> not much help, google is on this.
[00:15] <LinXNut> Hey guys has anyone installed Itunes on 64-bit Ubuntu? I can't seem to get it to work.
[00:15] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, where my pointer is is where is should be http://picpaste.com/upload.php
[00:15] <rypervenche> LinXNut: I would use something else.
[00:15] <LinXNut> Oh sweet I can use something else?
[00:16] <rypervenche> LinXNut: Sure, there are plenty of alternatives. I'm not the guy to give you a list though, I use a music player that uses the terminal only.
[00:16] <ubuntivity> lonewulf85: I didn't get your image, only a picture-upload site :|
[00:16] <LinXNut> Oh. Okay no worries! I'll google some stuff lol
[00:19] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, My bad here http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2013-07-26_18_13_25-QK8pX4Y5.png
[00:20] <ubuntivity> lonewulf85: never mind, can you click on that 4GB partition and show me its details please?
[00:20] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, one sec
[00:22] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2013-07-26_18_21_15-8wqW4Pdp.png
[00:23] <ubuntivity> It seems correct as it is sda5, but I've just noticed that the swap line in your /etc/fstab is commented with a #, were you the one who did that on purpose??
[00:24] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, not that I can remember.
[00:24] <ubuntivity> Or in fact I see there are apparently two swap lines, the first one (which is supposedly made during installation) is commented.
[00:24] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, So just delete the # and all is good right?
[00:25] <ubuntivity> Can't confirm that 100%, I need to find out what is cryptswap first (so as not to cause some sort of conflict)
[00:25] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, yeah the error is about swapt1
[00:26] <ubuntivity> It seems that you have activated an encrypted swap at some point of time, does that make sense for you?
[00:27] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, Maybe when I told my system to encrypt my home partion during installation?
[00:27] <ubuntivity> I believe you should uncomment the first swap line, and comment the second swap line that starts with /dev/mapper/...
[00:28] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, alright I will try that thanks.
[00:28] <ubuntivity> But before rebooting, expect the worse cases which might require you to boot into command line and restore the file to its previous condition! (I'm obsessive, I know)
[00:29] <lonewulf85> ubuntivity, yeah but very helpful thanks. gtg /quit
[00:30] <ubuntivity> I've found a page that might also help you, its about encrypted swap http://www.logilab.org/blogentry/29155
[00:30] <ubuntivity> You are welcome, lonewulf85 :)
[00:57] <kaffien> so my brilliant friends mother removed ubuntu unity on her toughbook.
[00:57] <kaffien> i reinstalled  it but its still giving me low graphics mode
[00:58] <kaffien> i wonder if it took out the xorg.conf or something
[00:58] <ubuntivity> Can you login in Unity 3D mode?
[00:58] <kaffien> i cant login at all i get an error before the login screen .... one sec
[00:59] <reisio> removed?
[00:59] <kaffien> the system is running in low-graphics mode, your screen graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected.
[00:59] <kaffien> she removed unity and whatever disappears with it
[00:59] <kaffien> i reinstalled unity but something is not right still getting the same error
[00:59] <reisio> kaffien: did you reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[01:00] <reisio> that would be the fairly comprehensive way
[01:01] <kaffien> nope but i might try that ... i have a intel mobile 4 series chipset.  would that require special drivers?
[01:02] <reisio> nope
[01:02] <kaffien> back in a bit i need the ethernet cord
[01:02] <reisio> unless you have an intel _and_ another device from ati or nvidia
[01:13] <savagejen> Can anyone tell me what could cause this to show up in dmesg? ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000000428-0x000000000000042f SystemIO conflicts with Region \PMIO 1 (20121018/utaddress-251)
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> ACPI bios issues. :() can be very hard to track down. often theres kernel boot options to work around them
[01:23] <cmck193> hello all
[01:24] <bejker> hi
[01:24] <cmck193> i'm installing xubuntu :)
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> egads!
[01:25] <bejker> nice u install ubuntu ;]
[01:25] <cmck193> not the first time, but i think i'm going to attempt a permanent switch from windoze
[01:26] <bejker> i try
[01:26] <bejker> and something its fuckd up
[01:27] <IdleOne> !langauge
[01:42] <zivester> is there a command to raise/lower system volume?
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> alsa* type commands like alsamixer, or alsaconf or alsactrl perhaps
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> alsa
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> alsa       alsactl    alsaloop   alsamixer  alsaucm
[01:43] <squelch> so ubuntu vs gentoo?
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> squelch:  try them both. and decide for yourself
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> thats like compareing a  Build it your self home kit. vs a Prefab home.
[01:43] <squelch> indeed
[01:43] <IdleOne> !polls | squelch
[01:43] <squelch> so usability. ubuntu
[01:44] <zivester> alsamixer, awesome
[01:44] <squelch> cheers
[01:44] <Neroon> Hi! Can anyone tell me why fdisk -l shows"does not start on physical sector boundary" although it starts at sector 2048?
[01:45] <reisio> Neroon: different strokes for different... disks
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> 2048 may not be a physical boundry. of course fdisk is getting a little of date in ways. Why does it matter?
[01:45] <Neroon> reisio: what?
[01:45] <reisio> use parted if you want to avoid stuff like that
[01:46] <moondog> did I miss something, or does the latest LTS release of ubuntu not handle installation onto an LVM partition?
[01:46] <zivester> is there a way to wake up a screen from command line?
[01:46] <Neroon> reisio: I did partition it with parted
[01:46] <reisio> zivester: yeah
[01:47] <reisio> Neroon: then you're all set
[01:47] <reisio> Neroon: sorry, actually :)
[01:47] <reisio> what I meant to say was use parted and % values for start & stop ;)
[01:48] <Neroon> reisio: so, it's normal that fdisk -l and df both say "... not start on physical..."?
[01:48] <reisio> zivester: look into xset/dpms/etc.
[01:48] <trism> moondog: I don't believe that was added until 12.10 for the livecd, I think you still have to use the alternate for 12.04
[01:48] <reisio> Neroon: df?
[01:48] <Neroon> reisio: well i tried unit tb and unit s
[01:49] <zivester> reisio thanks, I found `xscreensaver-command -deactivate` which works well
[01:49] <moondog> trism: ok, thanks :)
[01:49] <reisio> Neroon: try #%
[01:49] <reisio> zivester: yes indeed
[01:49] <Neroon> reisio: df -H to tell how much free space there is
[01:51] <Neroon> reisio: if i use % how would i tell it where to start from?
[01:52] <irssi-mike> savagejen: give this a try acpi_enforce_resources=lax
[01:53] <reisio> Neroon: 0% 50%, etc.
[01:54] <Neroon> reisio: sorry, my bad. didn't think of 0 ;-)
[01:54] <Neroon> reisio: And you think that would fix the issue of fdisk reporting that "error"?
[01:54] <reisio> :)
[01:55] <reisio> probably, although fdisk wouldn't bother me; df would
[01:55] <Neroon> reisio: well, both report the same thing
[01:55] <reisio> yous aid
[01:55] <reisio> and you said
[01:57] <rednaks> Hello, can anyone tell me who is in charge of libopencv-dev at ubuntu ?

[01:58] <reisio> rednaks: packages.ubuntu.com should be able to
[02:01] <rednaks> reisio, it said that the maintainer is : "Ubuntu developers"
[02:02] <reisio> it says a little more than that
[02:05] <rednaks> reisio, indeed, I found a place where I can ask :) thanks
[02:06] <tigranes> Hi! I'm trying to install 13.04 on MacBook Pro (late 2010 13" model) and am having hell of a time with the video card (GeForce GT 320M). Nouveau drivers make it run hot and cause visual artefacts. Nvidia drivers cause black screen on boot. I've been trying to follow various forum and blog posts to no avail. Does anyone have any good experiences with Ubuntu on MacBook Pro?
[02:12] <Neroon> tigranes: did you try nomodeset or modeset=0 at boot when using the nvidia driver?
[02:13] <SuperLag> Is there some app or method I can use for generating passwords on Ubuntu? I still use 1Password quite extensively on my Mac, and I miss the password generator feature on my Linux box.
[02:13] <tigranes> Neroon: I had nouveau.modeset=0. Is that what you meant?
[02:13] <jrib> SuperLag: pwgen?
[02:14] <reisio> SuperLag: everything you need: http://xkcd.com/936/
[02:14] <jp__> hello all, I am having trouble with this message:  The volume boot has only 0 byte disk space remaining
[02:14] <Neroon> tigranes: yes, but you might try modeset=0 too
[02:14] <reisio> jp__: sounds like your system wants to add something to the /boot partition, but it's full
[02:15] <jp__> I try to remove old linux kernals with synaptec but it fials
[02:15] <tigranes> Neroon: Okay, will try.
[02:15] <reisio> jp__: probably have to use rm
[02:15] <jp__> riesio, can I just rip out the old .gzip files?
[02:15] <wilee-nilee> jp__, dpkg -l | grep linux-image  to see kernels then sudo apt-get purge
[02:16] <SuperLag> reisio: haha, that's awesome
[02:16] <wilee-nilee> jp__, Or ubuntu-tweak has a a gui called janitor.
[02:17] <reisio> awesome in many ways
[02:17] <reisio> jp__: technically you don't need anything other than the file/s you're using right now
[02:24] <RichardRaseley> Hello. I inhereted a server with a software RAID1 configuration. However, only the "/" and "/boot" volumes are mirrored across the two drives, not the swap space. I would like to add the swap space after the fact. Can anyone point to an authoritative procedure for adding this volume?
[02:24] <RichardRaseley> Or any "gotchas" that I might face in adding the swap volume on a running system?
[02:25] <jp__> how do I get ubuntu-tweak?
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> you can add swap files and partions on the fly. done that befor. not sure how being ona raid would matter
[02:25] <wilee-nilee> jp__, There is a PPA.
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> jp__:  get it from its homepage. its deb adds a ppa for it i recall
[02:25] <jp__> ty
[02:25] <xmetal> trobuleshooting a liveusb boot issue
[02:25] <xmetal> , here
[02:26] <cmck193> what down side is there from running windows virtually?
[02:26] <wilee-nilee> cmck193, what is your definition of downside everyones is different
[02:27] <e0je> hi all, I have a laptop with a vga port and when I plug in my only vga monitor xrandr detects it correctly but its wavy, not real noticiable but gives a a headache. When I move the touch pad or mouse the waves increase in speed. Any idea whats going on? HDMI and internal display work great
[02:27] <RichardRaseley>  @Dr_Willis so this would likely be a matter of creating a new, mirrored swap space, adding it to the list of swap spaces, then removing the old?
[02:27] <reisio> e0je: is it a monitor, or a tv?
[02:27] <xmetal> (i admit its a different distro) but it is similar to ubuntu i think (you can probably take a good guess) .. one pc boots and runs or install fine with the liveusb ... this other pc is having issues when (i think) it gets to the "detecting screen or graphics" step
[02:27] <e0je> LED monitor
[02:28] <xmetal> (gray background, mouse cursor in middle ...  but unresponive)
[02:28] <reisio> I didn't ask what the backlighting was...
[02:28] <xmetal> just "sits there"
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> RichardRaseley:  im not even sure you would really want to mirror it. You can have more then one swap partion active at a time
[02:28] <e0je> really reisio ?
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> RichardRaseley:  you could put it on a non raid partion if you wanted. Im not sure what you gain by having swap on a raid
[02:29] <xmetal> looking on the forums now
[02:29] <cmck193> wille-nille:  I want to install windows for work programs.  I just need to be able for the virtual machine to have it's own ip on the network and access to the usb's
[02:29] <RichardRaseley> @Dr_Willis: I do want to mirror it because, although there is a slight performance hit, if the system tries to reference a swap page that is non-existant (because of disk failure) it can cause the system to crash.
[02:29] <reisio> e0je: both tvs and monitors come with leds, either it is a monitor or a tv
[02:29] <SuperLag> cmck193: easy. Just make sure you use a bridged interface
[02:30] <SuperLag> cmck193: bridged is what VMware calls it. Your virtualization solution might call it something different.
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> if you got disk failure going on. i imagine swap will be the least or your worries
[02:30] <cmck193> SuperLag: would virtualbox or vmware work better for what i want
[02:30] <e0je> reisio: i realize that I was volunteering more information dont get snappy
[02:30] <RichardRaseley> Not if everything is mirrored.
[02:30] <RichardRaseley> That is the point of RAID
[02:30] <RichardRaseley> If one disk in a mirrored set fails you don't lose the system.
[02:30] <reisio> e0je: it's just not a great sign that someone understood your question when they volunteer more information :D
[02:30] <SuperLag> cmck193: either would work. Personally, I prefer VMware. Had crappy experiences with VirtualBox, but to be fair... it was in a much earlier version.
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> i see so many people having total disasters with raid in here, i sway away from it. ;)
[02:31] <reisio> about 150% of people using raid don't know what it's for
[02:31] <e0je> reisio: I really just want to talk about my question
[02:31] <cmck193> SuperLag: thanks.
[02:31] <reisio> e0je: right, just saying
[02:31] <RichardRaseley> If everything is mirrored except swap I am still at risk because a reference to a non-existent swap page can cause a fault that will bring down the system.
[02:32] <SuperLag> reisio: I thought RAID was just for the "cool factor"! :D
[02:32] <reisio> raid is not about data redundancy
[02:32] <reisio> it's about access redundancy
[02:32] <RichardRaseley> If the entirety (including swap is mirrored) I can handle a single disk failure without putting the system at risk (in terms of availability).
[02:32] <RichardRaseley> reisio: That is a non-sensical statement.
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> reisio:  i thought it was about moar and moar speeds!
[02:32] <reisio> SuperLag: yup, and for destroying hardware
[02:32] <SuperLag> reisio: say whaaaaaaat?
[02:32] <reisio> RichardRaseley: nope
[02:32] <RichardRaseley> reisio: Yep
[02:32] <reisio> nope
[02:32] <SuperLag> reisio: what do you mean, access redundancy?
[02:32] <RichardRaseley> reisio: You can't preserve access to data if you don't preserve the underlying data.
[02:32] <reisio> raid is about more things making more reads at once, and not about your data being preserved
[02:33] <RichardRaseley> That is so blatantly wrong.
[02:33] <reisio> RichardRaseley: it's a subtle but important distinction
[02:33]  * wilee-nilee reminisces the old raid tv commercials
[02:33] <reisio> nope
[02:33] <e0je> renato_: do you help anyone or just pick away at peoples questions?
[02:33] <reisio> e0je: both
[02:33] <Random832> reisio: do you have any citation for this at all?
[02:33] <reisio> e0je: it's wavy as in non-straight lines?
[02:34] <RichardRaseley> reisio: I'm not interested in getting the uninformed positions of a jr. sysadmin.
[02:34] <cfhowlett> !attitude
[02:34] <reisio> Random832: I just said 150% of people using raid don't know what it's for
[02:34] <reisio> it shouldn't be surprising then that you might be one of them :D
[02:34] <xmetal> RAID!?
[02:34] <Random832> reisio: has it occurred to you that it might be for more than one thing?
[02:34] <e0je> reisio: its wavy as if you threw a stone in a pond
[02:34] <xmetal> (was getting coffee, so yes i know that was a late joke)
[02:34] <RichardRaseley> It appears that you may not be one of them. Different RAID levels have different performance and data integrity characteristics.
[02:34] <reisio> Random832: more than one thing? That's unpossible
[02:35] <reisio> e0je: that sounds more like the wrong signal rather than something simple like the wrong frequency
[02:35] <reisio> e0je: like a computer monitor signal going into a TV, for example
[02:35] <Random832> if it were only for "access redundancy" as you say, there would be no reason for any raid level to incorporate parity
[02:35] <RichardRaseley> The most major consideration when choosing a RAID level is data integrity. If it were just speed of access, then everything would be RAID0
[02:35] <reisio> xmetal: a-ha, I remember those commercials :p
[02:36] <reisio> RichardRaseley: nope
[02:36] <RichardRaseley> reisio: lol, you are just embarrassing yourself now. I suggest you go ahead and take a basic A+ certification course - you'd really benefit from the remedial knowledge.
[02:37] <RichardRaseley> l8r all.
[02:37] <reisio> I'll get right on that
[02:37] <Random832> reisio: where the hell did you get this idea from?
[02:37] <dlw> need help with network. network was okay yesterday. Does not work today. clicking on 'network' in unity gives error, 'the system network services are not compatible with this version.' 'Network Connections' shows no connections and everything is grayed out. Any help appreciated, dlw

[02:38] <reisio> dlw: :)
[02:40] <reisio> dlw: does dpkg -l | grep -i 'network-manager' show anything?
[02:41] <dlw> what should be in /etc/network/interfaces? currently has; auto lo eth0; iface lo inet loopback.
[02:43] <jp__> sudo apt-get -f autoremove
[02:43] <jp__> hopefully does the trick thanks all
[02:44] <dlw> reisio yes, i'm on a netbook using a live cd PC can't connect to net
[02:44] <reisio> dlw: sorry, what are you saying 'yes' to?
[02:45] <reisio> e0je: might ask #linux
[02:45] <dlw> reisio yes, the command dpkg you listed shows four 'network-manager' listing.
[02:45] <reisio> ha, way ahead of me :p
[02:48] <guicps89> hi there. ive just fresh installed ubuntu some minutes ago (and i choosed the option to encrypt the whole system + encrypt home folder). but everytime i turn on the pc, after entering my password to unlock the system, a message appear saying: "the disk drive for /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 is not ready yet or not present". i have to wait 1 minute to dis message dissapear. Any ideas to get rid of it?

[02:54] <dillondillon> can someone answer a samba question for me?
[02:55] <cfhowlett> !samba
[02:55] <Wally> Hello!
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  ask it and see. ;)
[02:55] <cfhowlett> Wally, greetings
[02:55] <dillondillon> here goes, I have a machine running Ubuntu 13.04 that is always on, with Samba always running so that I can stream videos to other computers in the house. After a period of inactivity of I don't know how long, the samba shares are no longer discoverable by other computers, I cannot SSH into the Ubuntu machine, and I cannot remote desktop into it either. The machine is always connected to the network, and the only solution I've
[02:55] <Wally> Anyone here got some good reasons why Ubuntu could replace FreeNAS?
[02:56] <dillondillon> ying. Can anyone help?
[02:56] <cfhowlett> Wally, perhaps you might want to debate relative merits of such in #ubuntu-offtopic rather than the support channel.  thanks.
[02:56] <Wally> Sure.
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  i think your info got cut off.. the ubuntu server basically vanishes from the network and you have to reboot?
[02:58] <dillondillon> the machine itself is still connected to the internet, but the samba shares disappear from the network
[02:58] <Guest18595> I want to change the army time to regular clock time on top of my screen. How do I do that?
[02:58] <Guest12834> I'm trying to connect to nicotine, and minUPnPc wont work. no idea whats going on here. Anyone know whats going on?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> Guest12834:  its under the time and date settings when you right click on the clock.
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> oops that was for Guest18595  ;P
[02:59] <Guest12834> it fails to start every time
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> Guest12834:  what fails to start? minupnc?
[03:01] <dillondillon> any ideas on my issue Dr_Willis?
[03:01] <Guest18595> I changed it, but it won't change up top.
[03:01] <Guest18595> Oh, never mind, I see it. Sorry
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  not without more testing of the network.   Thoughts on that?
[03:02] <cfhowlett> !es|cachencho,
[03:02] <cachencho> thanked!
[03:03] <cfhowlett> cachencho, :)
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  ive never seen selinux mentioned in here as being such a problem
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> !selinux
[03:03] <Guest18595> O.K. got that time right, finally! Thanks!
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  selinux is not installed by default.
[03:04] <JamesScrog> I tried to port forward to connect to nicotine, but it continues to tell me the port is closed
[03:04] <dillondillon> interesting...i have no idea what to do then
[03:04] <dillondillon> rebooting everytime is such a pain
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  you have installes selinux? what else have you done to the system?
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> dillondillon:  its possible a 'sudo service network restart' may kick them all back in also.
[03:05] <JamesScrog> I tried to port forward to connect to nicotine, but it continues to tell me the port is closed
[03:05] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, That is always the key question. ;)
[03:05] <dillondillon> i haven't installed selinux, and other than some applications like sickbeard i haven't done much to it
[03:06] <dillondillon> is there a way to keep them from going down though? because i'm not always able to go to the machine and plug in a keyboard and type in commands
[03:06] <mr44> anyone able to help with vnc on a headless machine?
[03:07] <JamesScrog> I have a problem and I need help. The port I have opened is not behaving like an open port should
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> mr44:  ssh in, run the vncserver, is how ive normally dont it.
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> done it
[03:07] <Guest92528> Could someone please tell me if in the latest LTS release 12.04, that a send error report  message box (which subsequently then asks for your user password) is a normal function or a scam virus...??? I seem to get this error box alot; it has little keys in the ledt upper corner.. It just doesn't feel right though.
[03:07] <mr44> so, it isn't an issue with X? I can just start the server?
[03:08] <JamesScrog> I have a problem and I need help. The port I have opened is not behaving like an open port should
[03:08] <Dr_Willis> mr44:  with vnc - you do NOT need a X server running on the local display/monitor at all.. SOME VNC servers however DO share the current visible display (thats how windows vnc  works also) you can have several (dozens+) vnc sessions that are totally hidden
[03:08] <Dr_Willis> mr44:  with vnc - you do NOT need a X server running on the local display/monitor at all.. SOME VNC servers however DO share the current visible display (thats how windows vnc  works also) you can have several (dozens+) vnc sessions that are totally hidden
[03:08] <mr44> forgive my ignorance, but how do I start the server/
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> install a vncserver, and run it. normally via 'vncserver'
[03:09] <mr44> I'm using the default desktop sharing built in to 13.04
[03:09] <mr44> only works when monitor is attached
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> you DONT share the 'default/visible desktop' on a headless server
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> you ssh in, and run a vncserver, you then connect to.
[03:10] <mr44> so, I have to download vncserver
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> or set it to run automatically. You dont run X/lightdm at all on a headless server
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> !info xtightvnc
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> !info tightvnc
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> Hmm what is its name.. i forget.
[03:10] <JamesScrog> I have a problem and I need help. The port I have opened is not behaving like an open port should
[03:10] <Dr_Willis> !find tightvnc
[03:10] <dlw> reisio having problems uploading jpg, only part of the jpg shows up. will try to work this out later once I can get jpg uploaded. thanks for your help. dlw
[03:11] <mr44> so, tight tightvncserver, and ill have to find it's conf file and set it up there?
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> it should be in the users .vnc/* dir. most vnc serers use that dir
[03:11] <mr44> I"ll have to report back. I'm talking from that hsell now and need to close irssi to do it
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> theres several differnt vnc servers out there.
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> vnc4server is anopther i used in the past
[03:12] <mr44> pok. I'll be back soon hopefully from Xchat
[03:12] <mr44> lemon out
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> hmm.. Using cheese to 'preview and record' my usb-video capture dongle. it captures video and audio. but the preview window dosent play audio to my speakres.. anyone seen this and know of a work around?
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> I want the audio. so i know when the vcr is done being recorded. ;)
[03:41] <streetlight> hey all
[03:41] <streetlight> anyone out there?
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> yes
[03:41] <streetlight> very cool
[03:41] <cfhowlett> streetlight, nope.  we all went home ...
[03:42] <streetlight> just checking, I thought my IRC was on the fritz
[03:42] <streetlight> just installed a new client
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> but... i am home! ;P
[03:42] <streetlight> lol
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> still toying with recording shows from my usb-video capture dongle.
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> cheese does a good job.  just a little annoying in a few ways
[03:46] <cfhowlett> Dr_Willis, pretty sure there's a way to direct those audio video streams to record in VLC but ... don't ask me how.
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> Yea - vlc can record them. But i cant 'watch/preview' them as its recording that ive figured out..
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> and my 'main' feature i want. is to bveable to record for like a set time.. ie:  record  for 1 1/2 hrs.. then stop..
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> I got vcr tapes i am recording.. want to set themto play and get recorded.. as i am elsewhere in the house.
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> I dont want to forget and have a 12 hr recording of static wheni come back ;P
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> I filled up my HD last night because of that.
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> Im glad i was actually able to get this usb capture dongle working in ubuntu. with no hassles. (well very few)
[03:49] <tigranes> I'm trying to get a MacBook Pro to run Ubuntu 13.04, but having major issues with the Nvidia driver (nouveau runs very hot and unstable). During boot or startx (starting with 'text' kernel option), the laptop screen simply switches off. There's a flash and then backlight is off and everything. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 does nothing. Does this sound familiar to anybody?
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> a lot of the guides/docs i am finding for using ffmpeg/mencoder and so forth say to capture from /dev/dsp for audio. but  thats outdated..  im getting video from /dev/video0 but some apps dont seem tog et the audio from there.
[03:50] <cfhowlett2> !mac|tigranes,
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> tigranes: ive seen a few weird cases where the system defaults to the external monitor. (not seen it on a mac however)
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> hitting the toggle monitor fn-XXX keys may kick it into gear.
[03:52] <viktor_> hello,everyone!
[03:52] <tigranes> Dr_Willis: Thanks, but no luck.
[03:52] <Dr_Willis> tigranes:  long shot. ;) had a friend with a laptop ages ago that for some weird reason defaulted that way. it was a fluke we hit the fn-XXX keys and got it working.
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> I cant think of much sles that would disable the console text.  you could try disabliong the framebuffer also tigranes
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> 'noquiet nosplash nofb text' for the kernel boot options i recall
[03:53] <tigranes> Dr_Willis: Will try, thanks!
[04:01] <usr13> Dr_Willis: Here is some stuff I've done b4:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917106/
[04:04] <smgordon> so when does this place get hopping?
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> usr13:  in your last example.. we dont have a /dev/dsp anymore do we? ;)
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> or does the -f oss somehow make it?
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> was trying this earlier..
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> avconv -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 test.avi
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> and couldent read from /dev/dsp
[04:09] <smgordon> question:  Does ubuntu allow me to share folders and files on a private network ( to 3 other PCs in the house) that run windows 7? like windows homegroup??
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> smgordon:  samba allows you do to that yes.
[04:09] <smgordon> samba?
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> windows homegroup however is like a suped up samba setup.
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> !samba
[04:09] <smgordon>  sorry new to irc & ubuntu
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> so you may need to twiddle with things a bit. and access the ubuntu server via its ip#. not its servername.
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> you 'should' be able to right click on a folder on ubuntu (as a user) and select share and make a guest share and it 'should' work.
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> if you are not transfering a lot of stuff, and dont need a full time share. you may want to look into using 'winscp' on windows and installing the ssh server on the linux box.
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> samba and shares can either work.. or be a real pain. Sadly.
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> what is the linux box shareing/serveing to the windows network?
[04:12] <smgordon> I right clicked the LOCAL DRIVE  ( the one i want to share) and was prompted to install samba.  installing now
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> dont use a local drive as a first time test.. make a directory in the users home name it 'test_share' (no spaces in the name) and see if that works first
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> shareing whold hard drives, can be confused by permission/securty issues
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> and just a tip. dont use spaces in share names, or server names. ;)
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> another tip. users can have a seperate Samba password thats differnt then their login password. often this needs to be set for some shares to work. set it via the command.
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> 'sudo smbpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME  password'
[04:14] <smgordon> I tried to run a pc with redhat about 15-20 years ago and it was confusing to say the least. installed ubuntu and haven't had any major issues  or comprehension problems LOL .
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> 15 yrs ago - we were recompilign our kernels just to get cd-rw drives to work.
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> and winmodems where the biggest issue
[04:14] <smgordon>  the LOCAL drive i have is just to store downloads, separte from the 80 gb drive i use for just  the OS and add ons..
[04:15] <alfreddba> please guide me to learn advance in monit on ubuntu..
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> if you really want to share the drive. you may want to edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf and make a proper share definition for it. not share it AS A USER.
[04:15] <Dr_Willis>  a 'user defined share' is a relatively new feature in Linux/samba :)
[04:15] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[04:15] <smgordon> ok   thank you ...
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> the samba-doc package has several Books on the topic. :) some are a bit out of date. but the core info is still good.
[04:16] <alfreddba> please guide me to learn advance in monit on ubuntu..
[04:16] <smgordon>  gonna have to start reading   ...
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> !info monit
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> start with the monit man pages and  see if theres any guides on the ubuntu wiki, or its homepage perhaps.
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> first google hit for 'monit tutorial' ->  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-configure-monit
[04:23] <alfreddba> guide me monit in ubuntu
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> alfreddba:  see the url posted above?
[04:25] <alfreddba> Dr_Willis: thanks
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> first google hit for 'monit tutorial' ->  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-configure-monit
[04:32] <cmck193> can someone please assist me with getting my audio working?
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> give the channel details
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> but rember its a slow night here. ;)
[04:33] <cmck193> I just installed xubuntu 12.04 on my HP DM4 laptop and have no audio
[04:33] <cmck193> It uses an Intel HD Audio onboard card
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> !alsa
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> im not sure if the help.ubuntu.* sites are up or down right now. theres also the askubuntu.com site that may have info for specific chipsets
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[04:36] <Hexagonite> Anyone know an app/program to edit LiveCDs?
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> normally you 'remaster' a live cd..  and build a new iso
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> you mean alter the .iso file directly?
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> !remaster
[04:37] <Hexagonite> yes?
[04:37] <cfhowlett> Hexagonite, eh? can't be done so far as I know.  Once burned, that image is burned ...
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> You dont know what you mean ? :) or dont know what you want to do?
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> there used to be a neat web site that had a web interface and would build custome isos for you. but i think it closed down ages ago. ;(
[04:38] <cmck193> I think he wants to remaster a live iso and create a new one
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> Im not even sure how well the remastering tools and guides work with the 13.x and 12.x releases.
[04:38] <Hexagonite> UCK doesn't work for newer releases :(
[04:39] <Dr_Willis> there used to be a 'remastersys' site/tool. but not tried it in years.
[04:39] <Hexagonite> Dr_Willis it closed for some reason
[04:39] <Dr_Willis> http://www.remastersys.com/
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> 'I have re-enabled the repositories for now but don't know how long I will be able to keep them up.'
[04:40] <Hexagonite> ohh, I thought you were talking about the web app
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> http://system-imaging.blogspot.com/   seems the continuation of remastersys
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> Yea. the web service went down like 3 yrs ago. ;)
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> I had made a nice little custome iso of my own with it .. then they went byebye
[04:42] <cfhowlett> Dr_Willis, I don't have details, but seems the remastersys guy burned out over the typical BS ... complaints, trolls, bitching, kvetching ...
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> cfhowlett:  yea. the url i posted mentions its forked. and some binaries for  ubuntu - dated april of this year.
[04:43] <looped> hi, im trying to install an older version of rabbitmq-server (3.0.2-1) on ubuntu 13.04 (than the one available in the repo) + an exact version of erlang-nox (14.b.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1) that it depends on. ive added the precise repos in my sources, and though the old versions of the packages are available - i cant seem to get the dependencies to resolve correctly
[04:44] <cody_> so how goes the cell phone market?
[04:44] <looped> the reason i need exact versions is because rabbitmq won't cluster with another node unless its the exact same version
[04:44] <wilee-nilee> cody_, The edge is #ubuntu-touch
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> I havent even tried to put ubuntu on my Nexus7 tablet.. :) not sure why i really need ubuntu on the tablet. and what it would offer diffefntly from android. (this may be a big hurdle for the edge/ubuntu touch  to get into the marketplace)
[04:46] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, Saucy or the touch install easily, but yeah I found it no really needed.
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> I do have android on several 'desktop' devices. ;)  and have some tablets setup as desktop/pc/laptop type setups with mice/keyboards.. so they  really are going to have a fight on their hands i think to get people to stand up and notice ubuntu touch
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> of course im a bit of a cynic with all this new hardware.. ive bought several 'devices' over the last few years that were basically washouts. ;)
[04:49] <wilee-nilee> I like android for the phone and the nexus, I even loaded lubuntu on the saucy, that was not to bad.
[04:49]  * Dr_Willis stares at his Chumby sitting on his desk.. with now.. exactly 1 clock applet. where it used to run hundreds..
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> im getting so used to how android works..  i almost think they need to start taking features from android and putting them into ubuntu.. but i guess thats what the touch stuff is all about.
[04:50] <wilee-nilee> The edge with the phone or desktop plugin might be nice.
[04:50] <wilee-nilee> just need a fold up soft monitor
[04:50] <Dr_Willis> i recall those android phones with the tablet/laptop-dock   from like 2 yrs ago. ;)  neat idea.. but overpriced. friend got one on clearance for like $100.
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> now everyone wants the laptop-dock for their raspberry pis. ;P
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> be nice to see some standard 'lap-dock' for a phone  so if i invest $300 in a monitor-keyboard dock for a ubuntu phone.. it wont be obsolete a year later.
[04:53] <wilee-nilee> that would be nice, without trying yo keep up with the joneses
[04:53] <wilee-nilee> to*
[04:55] <wilee-nilee> I got a little case and keyboard for the nexus, the keyboard only works effectively if removed from the case, otherwise it multi types,
[04:55] <Dr_Willis> its not like the laptop monitor-keyboard stuff has improved that much over the last few years. ;) better res, highre res.. but still  once you get over 1080p.. i have to wonder whats the point.
[04:55] <arandur> Having problems with my Broadcom wireless card... any brave soul want to try and help me out?
[04:55] <Dr_Willis> heh. I got some Motorolla bluetooth keyboards on clearahce last year when  Motorla dumped them. was $90 - on sale for $10 - bought 3 ;P
[04:56] <wilee-nilee> !Broadcom | arandur
[04:56] <arandur> Already been there; thanks, though.
[04:56] <arandur> Anywhere else you recommend before I bug you guys?
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> i still cant figure out how to get a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse working with Ubuntu, or my raspberry pi.
[04:56] <wilee-nilee> arandur, Cool, tell the channel what's up.
[04:56] <arandur> Well, it looks like my WLAN card is hard-blocked.
[04:56] <Dr_Willis> theres always askubuntu.com also.
[04:57] <arandur> The hardware switch doesn't turn on the wireless, though.
[04:57] <arandur> The switch physically works, because it turns on and off my Bluetooth.
[04:57] <arandur> But not the WLAN.
[04:57] <arandur> Soooo
[04:57] <wilee-nilee> I use wireless with ubuntu I have found bluetooth problematic
[04:57] <arandur> I haven't ever used bluetooth; it's just kinda there.
[04:58] <arandur> Iv'e reinstalled teh bcmwl-kernel-source; I've reinstalled Ubuntu; I've gone into the BIOS to look for problems.
[04:58] <arandur> Everything tells me that it should be working, but it's still hard-blocked.
[04:58] <arandur> Hence my problem.
[04:58] <arandur> Hard-wired ethernet works fine, and my USB wireless adapter is working.
[04:58] <arandur> So the problem is isolated to the internal wireless card.
[04:59] <varunendra> arandur, one brave soul just woke up, but kinda dizzy....
[04:59] <arandur> varuendra: Take your time, of course.
[04:59] <varunendra> arandur, do you know which wireless chip you have? and what driver?
[04:59]  * wilee-nilee slipps varunendra a triple espresso
[05:00]  * varunendra looks around and wonders what was that.. :/
[05:00] <arandur> Forgive me; I've forgotten the commands to find those out.
[05:00] <arandur> Do you mind reminding me?
[05:01] <varunendra> arandur, is it by any chance an HP laptop? or Compaq?
[05:01] <kingbeast> isn't it "lspci | grep Network" ?
[05:01] <arandur> Thanks, kingbeast!
[05:01] <arandur> varuendra: It's... a Dell.
[05:01] <arandur> Inspiron n7xxx
[05:02] <arandur> Please excuse me while I die of shame a little.
[05:02] <varunendra> actually - "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net"
[05:02] <varunendra> lol...
[05:02] <varunendra> (finally) dizziness fades..
[05:02] <kingbeast> i haven't had to lspci anything in a while
[05:02] <kingbeast> sorry
[05:02] <arandur> Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n
[05:02] <varunendra> results to pastebin of course....
[05:03] <kingbeast> b43 cutter isn't it?
[05:03] <varunendra> arandur, Ubuntu 13.04?
[05:03] <greyhatpython> hi is there anyway to get certified in Ubuntu? I don't like Redhat and it's certification.
[05:03] <arandur> Yeah, 13.04.
[05:03] <varunendra> kingbeast, no, it's either wl or brcmsmac
[05:03] <arandur> waitaminute
[05:03] <arandur> rfkill is now telling me that it's no longer hard blocked.
[05:04] <arandur> Let me see if the pixies fixed my computer while I was away.
[05:04] <arandur> brb, sorry.
[05:04] <varunendra> arandur, the first thing to do without a doubt then - "sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source"
[05:04] <varunendra> that will remove the proprietary driver..
[05:05] <varunendra> ok, quit.. :/
[05:05] <arandur> Well, call in the cows.
[05:05] <arandur> It fixed itself.
[05:05] <arandur> I'm going to assume one of you ninja-sshed into my computer and fiddled with it.
[05:06] <arandur> So thanks, ninja.
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> it was the shadow
[05:06] <arandur> The shadow?
[05:06] <kingbeast> if it was that simple more would be using Ubuntu, imo
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> an old radio show
[05:06] <arandur> Well, now I won't sleep tonight. Thanks a bunch.
[05:06] <arandur> Night, y'all.
[05:06] <wilee-nilee> really old
[05:06] <varunendra> arandur, if you are using the "wl" driver, you should remove it. It's not good with that card.
[05:07] <varunendra> night !
[05:11] <wilee-nilee> greyhatpython, A quick google search shows this. http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntucert
[05:12] <oooaaaoooo> is the forum still offline/
[05:12] <kingbeast> oooaaaoooo, yep
[05:14] <wilee-nilee> greyhatpython, Appears to have been discontinued as far as I can tell though.
[05:14] <varunendra> oooaaaoooo, updates here : http://ubuntu-discourse.org/t/update-on-status-regarding-re-opening-the-forums/754/42
[05:15] <varunendra> do I look scary ?? Everyone I try to answer runs away... :/
[05:15]  * varunendra goes to wash his face..
[05:16] <kingbeast> just a bit intimidating varunendra
[05:18] <Lonix> hello
[05:19] <kingbeast> hey Lonix
[05:19] <Lonix> whats new?
[05:24] <varunendra> Okay, a hopeless question - Does anybody know of some internet speed monitoring applet that runs within the panel? The tray?
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> varunendra:   theres a list of 'indicator-applets' at the askubuntu.com site
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> i recall there being networkj monitors in the list.
[05:25] <varunendra> Dr_Willis, thanks, taking a look (searching there..)
[05:25] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> sort by 'votes' :) shows the big ticket items
[05:27] <varunendra> :D Thanks for saving me the search time !

[05:35] <goddard> anyone know how to remount server drive with sshfs if it timesout
[05:41] <Guest42195> braden is here
[05:43] <e__> has anybody has issues with tint2? I'm trying to install it with apt-get but I can't use tint2conf, making it kind of useless. It just tells me that I can get tint2conf by installing tint2, which is already there. Ideas?
[05:43] <resure> Hi. I've added self signed root certificate as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73287/how-do-i-install-a-root-certificate but when I'm trying to visit site that protected with that certificate browser still gives an error
[05:43] <reisio> e__: dpkg -L tint2 | less
[05:51] <varunendra> Dr_Willis, for a moment I though I found it in the 2nd answer of that askubuntu link you gave me - "indicator-multiload", but evidently, it's useless with my "Mobile Broadband" connection (was already mentioned in the footer of the answer) :/....
[05:51]  * varunendra buries head into synaptic once more..
[06:05] <goddard> anyone know how to remount server drive with sshfs if it timesout
[06:05] <reisio> goddard: same command
[06:05] <goddard> reisio: or just keep it alive
[06:05] <goddard> i mean automatically so i dont have to do it
[06:05] <reisio> oh :p
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. not sure how well sshfs would handle that.
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> you might want to look into that 'autofs' but i still wonder how tye sytem would know  the sshfs timed out.
[06:09] <reisio> well if it happens that often...
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> yea - not a good thing.
[06:09] <reisio> I mean for something long term I don't think I'd use sshfs
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> Ive had very few issues with sshfs. but i dont use it for anything critical
[06:16] <ubuntu89> how can i build my modified ubuntu distro via virtualbox as a hosting for the modified distro?
[06:17] <reisio> ubuntu89: a hosting?
[06:20] <reisio> ubuntu89: yes?
[06:20] <ubuntu89> i'm working on ubuntu distro now .. i need to make an engineering distro based up on ubuntu via virtualbox
[06:21] <ubuntu89> i intend to install ubuntu on virtual machine and install packages on my virtual machine ubuntu >> get me?
[06:21] <reisio> you can basically just tar up an install and extract it elsewhere and it'll work as long as the required hardware drivers are enabled
[06:21] <goddard> Dr_Willis: reisio i tried gvfs i think it is for awhile, but it has a odd bug so i couldn't use that i will look into autofs
[06:23] <reisio> goddard: you could probably just run a cron with -o reconnect
[06:23] <ubuntu89> reisio:shall it be successful?
[06:24] <reisio> ubuntu89: ?
[06:27] <ubuntu89> i'm on ubuntu machine with virtualbox installed .. i'll install ubuntu inside my virtual machine .. i shall install engineering packages on my virtualbox ubuntu .. when finishing install my packages i have to take a cope of my installed ubuntu virtual machine
[06:28] <reisio> ubuntu89: to use in VirtualBox elsewhere, or as an installation to metal?
[06:30] <ubuntu89> no .. i need to extract it from virtual maching putting it on CDs for distributing it to my friends
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> and how are they going to run it?
[06:32] <ubuntu89> via booting it
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> and then do what? clone it to a real physical machine?
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> or run it in virtualbox also?
[06:35] <ubuntu89> clone it to many real physical machines
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> you may want to look into mondo/mindi to make a bootable 'image clone' cd/dvd set.
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> basically like a system restore cd/dvd set that windows would use. boots and clones to the hd.
[06:37] <Equinox3> hi, is there a command to create a pop up in Ubuntu
[06:37] <ubuntu89> Dr_Willis:please give me a link or youtube videoo..sorry for my bad english .. thanks
[06:38] <chunkyhead> is there a command by which i can list bluetooth devices from the command line?
[06:39] <reisio> chunkyhead: yes
[06:39] <reisio> Equinox3: zenity?
[06:39] <reisio> Equinox3: there are lots, actually, but zenity is probably the most GUI consistent
[06:39] <chunkyhead> reisio, may you tell me/ i be pointed to a link or something like that?
[06:39] <Equinox3> thanks, i'm already trying it
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu89:  mondo/mindi has its own web site. i havent used it in ages.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> !backup
[06:40] <reisio> chunkyhead: they keep changing them
[06:41] <reisio> chunkyhead: probably dpkg -L bluez | grep bin will get you there
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu89:  also check out clonezilla
[06:41] <reisio> or dpkg -L whateverTheBluezPackageIsCalled
[06:41] <santhosh> hai ubuntu kvm is support for .vxdm image
[06:41] <ubuntu89> reisio , Dr_Willis and ubottu:thank you so much ^_^
[06:41] <chunkyhead> -L is for reisio ?
[06:42] <dacs> okay so i am currently running 13.04 xfce and installed nomachine nx , but when i connect to my box it pulls unity why?
[06:42] <santhosh> hai ubuntu kvm is support for .vmdk image
[06:42] <reisio> chunkyhead: --listfiles
[06:42] <reisio> (installed by package)
[06:44] <chunkyhead> reisio, there has to be a native linux command right?
[06:45] <reisio> chunkyhead: I just told you how to find it
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> i think theres like 3 differnt bluetooth 'systems'   but i rarely mess with them
[06:45] <Dr_Willis> bluez,  and 2 others.. ( been ages since i fought with bluetooth)
[06:45] <chunkyhead> hci tools i guess is the linux one. thanks!
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> btscanner - ncurses-based scanner for Bluetooth devices
[06:46] <chunkyhead> Dr_Willis, refresh your memories XD http://screencloud.net/v/ly31
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> i basically have given up on using bluetooth with the pc.
[06:46] <chunkyhead> Dr_Willis, why
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> too much hassles
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> works fine with my android tablets.
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> but for the pc. I  dont care to bother.
[06:47] <chunkyhead> actually i just wanted to backup everything which is there on my phone. i lost the USB cable soo..
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> chunkyhead:  what kind of phone?
[06:47] <chunkyhead> Dr_Willis, old sony ericsson c510 :O
[06:47] <santhosh> hai ubuntu kvm is support for .vmdk image
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> santhosh:  you mean to ask 'Does ubuntu kvm support the .vmdk image format?'
[06:48] <santhosh> yes
[06:48] <santhosh> that is my question sorry for mistake
[06:48] <Wulf> Hi
[06:48] <chunkyhead> jai santhoshi maa :P
[06:49] <reisio> hi Wulf
[06:49] <chunkyhead> hi
[06:49] <wilee-nilee> santhosh, virtualbox does
[06:49] <santhosh> what about kvm <wilee-nilee>
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> !kvm
[06:50] <reisio> santhosh: IIRC it's not a too complex process to get the data from a vmdk to boot from kvm
[06:50] <reisio> talk to #kvm about it
[06:50] <Wulf> I activated automatic security(?) updates in 12.04; now I have 10 kernels installed and /boot is full. What's the proper fix?
[06:50] <santhosh> so it is possible for kvm
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> Wulf:  remove the kernels you dont need
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> keep like the last 2
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com has several methods to clean out the old kernels
[06:51] <Wulf> I don't want a manual way for it
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> there is no automatic way that ive seen
[06:51] <reisio> santhosh: it might not be as simple as kvm -foo path/to/bar.vmdk, but it should be pretty simple
[06:51] <Wulf> damn :(
[06:51] <santhosh> ok thanks
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> except for the scripts and tools i have mentioned at askubuntu.com
[06:52] <wilee-nilee> Wulf, You can use ubuntu-tweak's janitor for a gui clean.
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> and be carefull with those scripts.
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> Wulf: ubuntu-tweak can cleanout stuff
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> be VERY VERY carefull with ubuntu-tweak ;)
[06:52] <Wulf> gui is bad
[06:52] <Wulf> it's like 20 machines I only have ssh access to
[06:52] <wilee-nilee> hmm no manual and gui is bad
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> Dr_Willis: never had issues with ubuntu-tweak myself cleaning out kernels
[06:54] <wilee-nilee> Wulf, dpkg -l | grep linux-image  to see kernels then sudo apt-get purge "image"
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> lotuspsychje:  i seem to recall once it removeing a kernel that was in use for me.. along with all the rest. ;P
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> but thats a feature they seem to add/remove./readd to ubuntu tweak. I dont really use the app much any more these days
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> 'no manual and gui is bad' ? huh.. you do use the manual way.. theres no automatic way that ive seen
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> Dr_Willis: thats not good indeed removing an in-use kernel, i more use it for handy little tweaks
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> lotuspsychje:  i may be thinking of that disaster of a tool 'computer-janitor' also ;)
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> Dr_Willis: also tryed unity-tweak and pleased by it
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> i just rarely seem to tweak things much with any of them these days
[07:01] <chunkyhead> how to send input from 1 file to a command? like i want to do "cd <input from1 file>"
[07:01] <Wulf> cd $(foo)
[07:01] <chunkyhead> (y)
[07:01] <chunkyhead> thanks
[07:02] <chunkyhead> Wulf, foo being the file name?
[07:02] <Wulf> chunkyhead: oh, input from a file. cd $(cat file)
[07:02] <chunkyhead> what was foo for
[07:02] <Wulf> a command
[07:03] <chunkyhead> man foo doesn't gimme anything
[07:03] <Wulf> chunkyhead: note that this will not work if the file has spaces
[07:03] <aeon-ltd> placeholder
[07:03] <chunkyhead> Wulf, what if i want to load up entire file with spaces
[07:03] <Wulf> chunkyhead: dir=$(cat file); cd -- "$dir"
[07:06] <Wulf> wilee-nilee: I found that "apt-get autoremove" may work for me
[07:07] <wilee-nilee> Wulf, Cool, I use it often.
[07:07] <Kesler> hello
[07:07] <Kesler> new to unbuntu
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> Wulf: here's an interesting thread about your issue: http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/ubuntu-cleanup-how-to-remove-all-unused-linux-kernel-headers-images-and-modules/
[07:08] <Wulf> Kesler: welcome!
[07:08] <Kesler> any suggestions for faster speeds
[07:08] <Wulf> lotuspsychje: thanks
[07:08] <Wulf> Kesler: more CPUs!
[07:08] <SunStar> i need help. i just installed windows and need to run boot-repair to get ubuntu working again.  boot the live CD and no internet. installed b43-fwcutter and linux-firmware-nonfree_1.11_all and rebooted. still no wifi. what now?
[07:08] <aeon-ltd> Kesler: what spec pc?
[07:09] <lotuspsychje> Kesler: install an ssd drive and re-install ubuntu :p
[07:09] <Kesler> mac 10.5.8 intel 4GB
[07:09] <aeon-ltd> that told me almost nothing
[07:09] <varunendra> SunStar, please show us the output of "lspci -nn | grep 0280"
[07:11] <SunStar> varunendra, BCM4312 LP-PHY
[07:11] <aeon-ltd> Kesler: processor + it's clock speed, what gpu, how much ram?
[07:11] <lotuspsychje> !b43 | SunStar
[07:11] <SunStar> ....
[07:11] <varunendra> SunStar, Do you also have the wl driver installed? (lsmod | grep wl)
[07:11] <SunStar> i am well familiar with that article lotuspsychje
[07:12] <Kesler> 2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo 4GB 1087mnz ccr3
[07:12] <mumpitze1> SunStar: you don't need internet access to boot repair your PC
[07:12] <Kesler> *DDR3
[07:13] <mumpitze1> Kesler: buy a SSD
[07:13] <Kesler> thx
[07:13] <aeon-ltd> Kesler: i'm guessing intel integrated graphics? is this a macbook from 2008?
[07:13] <SunStar> mumpitze1, its normally the quickiest easiest way, but this time its not, your right i should update grub
[07:13] <mumpitze1> there is no need to update it either
[07:14] <SunStar> then?
[07:14] <mumpitze1> you need to install grub into the MBR again, not a new version of grub
[07:14] <SunStar> whatever
[07:14] <SunStar> i thought u were gonna teach me something
[07:14] <lotuspsychje> !polite | SunStar
[07:15] <mumpitze1> boot a live cd, mount your ubuntu install, bind mount /dev and /proc into it too, chroot to it and rand sudo grub-install /dev/sdX. done
[07:15] <IthinkImightbega> Okay so I just installed Linux
[07:15] <IthinkImightbega> any advice?
[07:15] <mumpitze1> IthinkImightbega: use it
[07:15] <reisio> IthinkImightbega: rejoice
[07:15] <IthinkImightbega> how do I use it?
[07:15] <IthinkImightbega> Like, boot it into a betamax
[07:15] <mumpitze1> IthinkImightbega: you power on your PC where you installed it
[07:16] <reisio> IthinkImightbega: a betamax? :p
[07:16] <IthinkImightbega> On my Windows 7 Samsung TV
[07:16] <aeon-ltd> Kesler: in short your only options [that cost nothing but time] is to use lighter software, e.g. lxde or xfce instead of gnome/unity. to reduce the load and free up resources to be used elsewhere
[07:16] <IthinkImightbega> iApple
[07:16] <reisio> IthinkImightbega: iApple? :p
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> IthinkImightbega:  if you want a home theater app. try out xbmc
[07:16] <IthinkImightbega> Do I have to root my home television set?
[07:16] <IthinkImightbega> To get access to Napster?
[07:16] <mumpitze1> IthinkImightbega: please stop
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> !manual | IthinkImightbega
[07:17] <reisio> IthinkImightbega: heh
[07:17] <IthinkImightbega> I have a mac
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> sorry to hear that.
[07:17] <IthinkImightbega> I was just joking, but I am interested in linux and shit.
[07:17] <varunendra> SunStar, you said - "boot the live CD and no internet. installed b43-fwcutter and linux-firmware-nonfree_1.11_all and rebooted." -- really??
[07:17] <reisio> both interesting things
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> !language | IthinkImightbega
[07:17] <mumpitze1> IthinkImightbega: expressing your "interest" this way was not a good idea
[07:18] <SunStar> varunendra,  yes because i have a copy of linux-firmware-nonfree_1.11_all.deb
[07:18] <IthinkImightbega> Yeah, sorry :/
[07:18] <IthinkImightbega> Anyway...
[07:19] <theos> hi! i upgraded to 13.04 and my mouse doesnt work. i get the error "cannot enable port #, cable maybe bad?"
[07:19] <IthinkImightbega> Q: Do I have to uninstall Windows in order to install Linux?
[07:19] <aeon-ltd> no
[07:19] <varunendra> SunStar, but the changes get lost if you reboot. You have to modprobe the b43 driver without rebooting.
[07:19] <SunStar> no
[07:19] <IthinkImightbega> how do I do it then?
[07:19] <aeon-ltd> IthinkImightbega: google dual booting
[07:19] <IthinkImightbega> Is that like DLC
[07:19] <theos> Maybe the USB cable is bad?*
[07:19] <aeon-ltd> totally...
[07:19] <theos> !dualboot
[07:20] <SunStar> varunendra,  i am using 4GB casper persistence partition to save settings across boots
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> theos: usb mouse or ps2?
[07:20] <theos> lotuspsychje usb2
[07:20] <dortiz> hi all I was wondering if anyone had issues installing ati driver for 4000 series for ubuntu 12.04
[07:20] <IthinkImightbega> So wait
[07:20] <reisio> dortiz: ...you? :p
[07:20] <dortiz> i have been trying for days to figure it out
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> theos: ok what brand of usb2 mouse? (did it work on previous versions?
[07:20] <IthinkImightbega> Is Linux compatible with HD DVDs?
[07:20] <mumpitze1> theos: go to a console (ctrl+alt+f2), install and start gpm. check if the mouse works there
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> !ot | IthinkImightbega
[07:21] <IthinkImightbega> if you're too embaressed to answer in public, i'll give you my fax number
[07:21] <varunendra> SunStar, so do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 folder in your next boot? That's all that is required for this device you have.
[07:21] <dortiz> but keeps showing up as vesa rs880m
[07:21] <mumpitze1> IthinkImightbega: please stop. or hopefully there is an op near
[07:21] <theos> lotuspsychje yes it used to work on 10.04. then i upgraded :( its an IBM mouse
[07:21] <aeon-ltd> IthinkImightbega: crash course, you can run linux either by virtual machine[on top of another OS; referred to as a host]; dual booting, both on one or multiple hdds only one os is selected at boot; or a special type of dual boot known as wubi which doesn't need a linux bootloader to run.
[07:21] <IthinkImightbega> Okay...
[07:21] <IthinkImightbega> So my telegraph is a few years out of date and it's not properly sending my morse code. Can I install some sort of telegraph program on my iOS 4.0.1
[07:22] <dortiz> oh sorry i will check support channel
[07:22] <IthinkImightbega> and will you please tell my why my father left me
[07:22] <dortiz> new to the channels
[07:22] <SunStar> varunendra,  yes that directory exists
[07:22] <aeon-ltd> !ops | IthinkImightbega
[07:22] <SunStar> no wifi
[07:22] <IthinkImightbega>  !ops
[07:22] <IthinkImightbega>  !plsrespond
[07:22] <dortiz> how do i get to the support channel
[07:22] <IthinkImightbega>  !kick FaggotsRUs
[07:23] <mumpitze1> dortiz: ati fglrx drivers don't work anymore for 4000 series. your videocard should be supported out of the box by radeon however
[07:23] <varunendra> SunStar, it should be something simple, but if your main target is boot-repair, why not use one of the live CDs that come with it preinstalled ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> dortiz:  support channel for what? this is the ubuntu support channel.
[07:23] <theos> try #ati
[07:23] <SunStar> im downloading it now. was trying to get up up and running before it finished but thats not gonna happen
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> ati/amd has a bad habbit of dropping support for older (or not so old hardware) from the fglrx drivers as quick as they can  get by with it.
[07:24] <SunStar> ^^
[07:24] <mumpitze1> dortiz: so #ati won't be able to help you
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> often dumping the 'card' onto the open sourced radeon/ati drivers befor those drivers are ready for the card
[07:24] <theos> ya ati drivers dont work after upgrading from 10.04 to 13.04
[07:24] <elky> IthinkImightbega: that's not acceptable behaviour in this channel
[07:24] <IthinkImightbega> please
[07:25] <dortiz> @mumpitzel what route would i go
[07:25] <IthinkImightbega> i'm sorry
[07:25] <dortiz> or just get a new laptop
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> theos: maybe a clean install would fix the mouse?
[07:25] <mumpitze1> dortiz: as I told you: do nothing and it should work. if it doesn't show us the Xorg log
[07:25] <theos> lotuspsychje yes its a clean install. it worked on 10.04
[07:25] <mumpitze1> theos: have you tried gpm?
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> it worked with a very differnt version of the drivers, kernels, and xorg  :)
[07:26] <theos> mumpitze1 will it kill X?
[07:26] <dortiz> it doesn't use the driver ati because im not able to run steam games on here but in windows i use the driver and it runs fine
[07:26] <mumpitze1> no
[07:26] <theos> oh ok
[07:27] <mumpitze1> dortiz: read all of what I wrote
[07:27] <dortiz> I also get error when i install the driver from amd website 13.1
[07:27] <dortiz> ok
[07:27] <mumpitze1> dortiz: trying to install that driver was a very bad idea
[07:27] <dortiz> i havent done it yet
[07:27] <dortiz> i just reimaged pc
[07:27] <theos> mumpitze1 i started gpm. but no output
[07:27] <dortiz> so fresh image
[07:28] <mumpitze1> theos: why would there be any output? try the mouse in your console
[07:28] <dortiz> im on it now and video graphics says unkown
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> gpm should give you a little 'box' cursor on the console
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> like in the old dos days ;)
[07:28] <dortiz> unknown
[07:28] <mumpitze1> dortiz: pastebin your Xorg.0.log then
[07:28] <dortiz> how do i get that im new to linux
[07:29] <mumpitze1> !pastebinit
[07:29] <mumpitze1> and the file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
[07:29] <mumpitze1> sorry: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:31] <sharpshooter> hi friends i'm having a big issue in my ubuntu 13.04 the system is freezing after a few minutes, I thought it was the unity problem and tried resetting the unity by using the commant dconf reset -f /org/compiz nothing help then I installed gnome and used that and the system freezes after a while , what is the main problem of this is anyone else experienced this ??
[07:31] <mumpitze1> define "a while"
[07:32] <sharpshooter> after 10 min or
[07:32] <SunStar> check the S.M.A.R.T. logs and make sure the hard drive isnt dieing sharpshooter
[07:32] <theos> mumpitze1 nothing happens. cant see mouse cursor in console.
[07:32] <mumpitze1> theos: check dmesg and syslog maybe?
[07:32] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: generally check your hardware and especially look at temperatures of your CPU and videocard
[07:33] <dortiz> still trying to find xorg log
[07:33] <theos> i see router logs in dmesg. how can i disable those?
[07:33] <mumpitze1> dortiz: I gave you the full path. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
[07:33] <mumpitze1> damn. /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:34] <mumpitze1> theos: what "router logs"?
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> router logs?
[07:34] <theos> mumixam like this [ 1521.606819] [UFW AUDIT] IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=<IP_ADDRESS> DST=64.32.xx.xx LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=43079 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=55365 DPT=7000 WINDOW=331 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0

[07:34] <mumpitze1> theos: if you mean stuff from netfilter: don't let netfilter log
[07:34] <theos> err mumpitze1
[07:34] <dortiz> i get this
[07:34] <mumpitze1> theos: change your ufw configuration not to log various events
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> !ufw
[07:35] <theos> oh thanks
[07:35] <dortiz> it says missing
[07:35] <e0je> hi all, I have a laptop with a vga port and when I plug in my only vga monitor xrandr detects it correctly but its wavy, not real noticiable but gives a a headache. When I move the touch pad or mouse the waves increase in speed. Any idea whats going on? HDMI and internal display work great
[07:35] <e0je> wavy like ripples when you drop a stone in water
[07:35] <dortiz> unexpected error
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> e0je:  sounds like interfearance in the signal.
[07:36] <mumpitze1> e0je: change the horizonzal frequency of your vga output
[07:36] <mumpitze1> dortiz: it can't be missing when you have run X at least once
[07:36] <e0je> Dr_Willis: how can i check for interference?
[07:36] <dortiz> do i type that in terminal or search
[07:37] <sharpshooter> SunStar:  mumpitze1 , sorry i freezes again so restarted my system
[07:37] <mumpitze1> dortiz: ls -l /var/log/Xorg*
[07:37] <e0je> mumpitze1: how do i adjust horz frequency???/
[07:37] <mumpitze1> e0je: xrandr should be able to do it
[07:37] <theos> thanks that solved logging problem. now i have [ 1763.228158] ehci-pci 0000:00:1d.7: setting latency timer to 64   [ 1764.220058] hub 2-0:1.0: Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?
[07:37] <sharpshooter> SunStar:  how to check the S.M.A.R.T logs??
[07:37] <dortiz> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48487 Jul 27 00:20 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:37] <dortiz> i get that
[07:38] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: with smartctl from smartmon-tools
[07:38] <dortiz> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55913 Jul 27 00:11 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
[07:38] <theos> maybe latency is too high?
[07:38] <dortiz> and that one also
[07:38] <mumpitze1> theos: what mouse is it?
[07:38] <dortiz> I guess I wil just sell this laptop and get nvidia one seem to have no issue with nvidia
[07:39] <theos> mumpitze1 its an old IBM mouse. was cheap. but it worked fine on 10.04. then i installed 13.4 and it didnt work
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> totally depends on the exxact chipset i find theos ..
[07:39] <mumpitze1> yes, throw money at the problem. learning to solve problems is for losers, POOR losers
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> if getting a new laptop - avoid ones that have the dual gpu optimus stuff
[07:39] <dortiz> im will to learn
[07:39] <SunStar> sharpshooter,  try running from a live USB so you arent dealing with the computer freezing, then go into terminal and type "sudo apt-get install smartmontools" (no quotes, you can come in here while booted into the live CD in case you forget that command)
[07:39] <mumpitze1> dortiz: impossible to get them really. except maybe for crappy ones
[07:39] <mumpitze1> Dr_Willis: ^^  and it should be "impossible not to get them"
[07:40] <dortiz> nvidia on my desktop works great but i need laptop to bring to ruby rails meetups
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> dortiz:  if you are wanting a ubuntu only laptop. check out the various sites that sell them preinstalled with ubuntu.
[07:41] <dortiz> i guess i can use desktop for games and laptop mainly for coding
[07:41] <mumpitze1> dortiz: so can you pastebin the file or not?
[07:41] <sharpshooter> SunStar:  ok i checked the smartctl command and it show me ERROR" smartctl requires a device name as the final command -line argument which argument should i provide ?
[07:41] <dortiz> not sure sorry have to figure how to do that
[07:42] <sharpshooter> i mean device
[07:42] <theos> Dr_Willis oh so i have to find the chipset. let me see. thanks
[07:42] <mumpitze1> you want to program for the web but don't know how to open a file?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> dortiz:  install the pastebinit command 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit'
[07:42] <mumpitze1> or use a pastebin?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> dortiz:  then 'pastebinit /path/to/the/file'
[07:42] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: the devicename for your harddisk
[07:42] <SunStar> sharpshooter,  i dont know i've never used it through the command line, i always use the graphical utility
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> sharpshooter:  such as /dev/sda   or /dev/sdb
[07:42] <dortiz> it is installing
[07:43] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: usually /dev/sda. but that won't help you, you need to do a long SMART test to test the harddisk afterwards
[07:43] <sharpshooter> yes I check it is /dev/sda
[07:44] <Wulf> apt-mark auto $(dpkg -l|awk '/^ii *linux-(image|headers)-3\.2\./{print $2}'); apt-get -y autoremove --purge
[07:44] <theos> Dr_Willis i have this mouse http://www.ceimall.com/sitefiles/product-780/IBM/MO32BO
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> theos:  i got a whold box of mices. ;)
[07:45] <dortiz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917550/
[07:45] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1:  this is the output of smartctl  -a /dev/sda : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917548/
[07:45] <dortiz> nice im learning few things
[07:45] <theos> Dr_Willis same model? :)
[07:45] <dortiz> nice community can't get this for windows
[07:46] <dortiz> thats why i love ubuntu
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> theos:  i must have a box of 30+ mice from over the years.. cant say ive ever had an issue with any of them on linux.
[07:46] <theos> oh
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> except for an occsional extra button or 2 on some of them.
[07:47] <theos> this used to work fine :(
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> does it work on other pcs?
[07:47] <dortiz> were is good site to buy laptop with ubuntu already installed
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> does it work on a live cd?
[07:47] <theos> also. kworker takes up 40-60% of cpu
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> dortiz:  system76, perhaps others.. i havent kept up with whos offering what these days
[07:48] <theos> i think its related to my connecting the mouse to the port
[07:49] <PukeTibet420> waddup cunts.
[07:49] <theos> hmm didnt try on other pcs. but it used to work on this same laptop in 10.04
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> theos:   untill you can prove otherwise.. assume its a hardware failure on the part of the mouse, cable, or usb port.
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> prove its not a hardware faliure. :)
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> test with a 10.04 live cd perhaps. and on other pcs
[07:50] <Originooo> exit
[07:50] <theos> thats a better option. i will try it on 10.04
[07:51] <theos> thanks
[07:52] <mumpitze1> Dr_Willis: Cyborg RAT mice apparently do however (not a fault of linux but how they were designed)
[07:52] <ffio_> in ubuntu i can't use su ? i have to use sudo to get admin rights ?
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> some of these weird gaming hardware are just weird
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> ffio_:  you can su to users. but not to root. since root has no password by default
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> ffio_:  sudo is how you get to root in ubuntu.. its by design.
[07:52] <ffio_> Dr_Willis: ok :)
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> !manual
[07:53] <dortiz> so no way to get my ati driver to showup on the graphics detail
[07:53] <theos> kworker is using all of the cpu. is there any way to stop that?
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> dortiz:  if the drivers no longer support that chipset - i wouldent think so. but i havent beenpaying attentionto your specifics. i dont use ati any more
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> killall kworker   (to kill it perhaps)
[07:53] <ffio_> thanks Dr_Willis
[07:54]  * Dr_Willis wonders whata kworker is.
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> !find kworker
[07:54] <theos> its a kernel process i assume. is it advisable to kill it?
[07:54] <theos> !kworker
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> theos:  one way to find out. ;)
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> if its a kernel process - your user cant kill it i imagine
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> ps ax | grep kworker
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> seems i have several dozen kworker processes
[07:55] <theos> yes and one of mine is taking 47% of cpu
[07:56] <mumpitze1> dortiz: what is the output of glxinfo?
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> ps ax | grep kworker
[07:56] <Dr_Willis>     5 ?        S<     0:00 [kworker/0:0H]
[07:56] <Dr_Willis>     6 ?        S      0:00 [kworker/u:0]
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> None of them seem to be using any cpu here at all.
[07:56] <dortiz> it says currently not installed
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> if im reading that right
[07:56] <theos> maybe its a bug
[07:57] <mumpitze1> dortiz: what is the exact output?
[07:57] <dortiz> The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[07:58] <dortiz> i guessill try that
[07:58] <mumpitze1> isn't that a helpful error message?
[07:58] <mumpitze1> *sigh*
[07:58] <dortiz> lol
[07:58] <theos> :)
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> night all.
[07:58] <wilee-nilee> theos, There are numerous threads on kworker at askubuntu http://askubuntu.com/search?q=kworker
[07:58] <mumpitze1> dortiz: it's nothing to laugh at
[07:58] <theos> dortiz after installing it, do glxinfo |grep -i render
[07:59] <Penyulap> I just arrived on this planet and when I typed "Find" to find a file and / as the path and the name of the file, it spits out completely everything. I didn't want everything, I just wanted to find the one file i was looking for on the hard drive. why won't 'find / filename' work ?
[07:59] <theos> thanks wilee-nilee
[07:59] <dortiz> no im laughing at myself for being such a noob
[07:59] <dortiz> but i have to start somewere
[08:00] <ffio_> dr_willis_: do ubuntu support if ubuntu based distro is made ?
[08:00] <ffio_> dr_willis_: can i pm you ?
[08:00] <dortiz> it says E: Invalid operation istall
[08:00] <wilee-nilee> ffio_, He is gone.
[08:00] <PukeTibet420> waddup cunts.
[08:00] <ffio_> wilee-nilee: :9
[08:00] <ffio_> wilee-nilee: :(
[08:01] <dortiz> so that didnt work
[08:01] <mumpitze1> dortiz: cause you did it wrong
[08:01] <dortiz> i copied exact words
[08:02] <mumpitze1> no you did not
[08:02] <dortiz> your right i tried again
[08:02] <mumpitze1> dortiz: you need to READ and ACT on error message. I won't handhold you
[08:02] <dortiz> np
[08:02] <dortiz> it is done
[08:03] <dortiz> sorry no hand holding i can certainly figure error messages out
[08:04] <dortiz> direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880     GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_AMD_conservative_depth,
[08:04] <dortiz> i get that now
[08:04] <ffio_> can i setup root for ubuntu ?
[08:05] <dortiz> thats much better than unknown
[08:06] <ubuntu89> how can i detect my friend's IP address while we message each others?
[08:06] <bekks> ffio_: What do you mean by "setup root"?
[08:06] <bekks> ubuntu89: Ask him.
[08:06] <ubuntu89> bekks he would refuse :D
[08:06] <dortiz> I should be ok with that driver i think
[08:06] <bekks> ubuntu89: Then you are not supposed to do what you are intending to do.
[08:07] <mumpitze1> ubuntu89: depends on the way you are messaging
[08:07] <ffio_> bekks: i don't want to use sudo always to do system related work. for that i want to setup root account by which using su i can log into it.
[08:07] <bekks> ffio_: You have to sudo once, only. sudo -i
[08:07] <ubuntu89> he is on my friends list .. i wanna jokking him only
[08:07] <dortiz> thanks mumpitzel have good night
[08:08] <mumpitze1> ubuntu89: friends list on what protocol?
[08:08] <bekks> ffio_: The root account is up and running and already setup. It has no password set, so login is deactivated for that account.
[08:08] <ubuntu89> https://www.facebook.com
[08:08] <bekks> !root | ffio_
[08:08] <mumpitze1> ubuntu89: you can't
[08:09] <ubuntu89> i was in a neatchat room app yesterday .. somebody told me my IP address
[08:09] <bekks> ubuntu89: That wasnt on Facebook.
[08:09] <mumpitze1> ubuntu89: do you have a ubuntu support problem?
[08:10] <cc0de> Hi there :)
[08:10] <exalt> hello i have a problem, when i run a command by cmd it works, when i make crontab run the same command it fails
[08:10] <exalt> why is this ?
[08:10] <Atlantic777> Hi guys! I've got an interesting situation. Something went wrong and I tried to restart X but then funny things started to happen. Computer is stucked with broken X, I can't go into tty and firstly I could log in through ssh but when I tryed to restart X from there, that ssh session got stuck too. Now I can't even log in through ssh, it prompts me for password, responds if the password is wrong but when I enter the right password, I can't g
[08:10] <ffio_> bekks: thanks for the info mate
[08:10] <Atlantic777> Here's ssh -vvv log, but I can see nothing interesting: https://paste.lugons.org/show/301joNKEOPI9J98e3thJ/
[08:10] <ubuntu89> mumpitzel:i wanna nobody detect my IP on my ubuntu
[08:10] <bekks> exalt: Then you are not issuing the full path to the binary you want to run. the crontab does not know anything about the PATH variable.
[08:11] <gordonjcp> Atlantic777: have you tried just powering the thing off and back on?
[08:11] <gordonjcp> Atlantic777: it sounds like you've tried everything else ;-)
[08:11] <exalt> bekks: /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/python /srv/nieuws/backend.py grabber run"  >> /var/log/script_output.log 2>&1 ??
[08:12] <cc0de> i wanna update my source.list , any advices?
[08:12] <gordonjcp> Atlantic777: if you can't ssh in and can't log in from a console, that's often because something is using so much processor power that it takes forever to even get a terminal up - which usually indicates that things are really, really stuck there
[08:12] <mumpitze1> cc0de: why would you want to do it?
[08:12] <Atlantic777> gordonjcp: ah, and another thing... it's a laptop and I started uptime marathon. It's been 45 days now and I would like to try really everything before powering it off. Geek stuff. :/
[08:13] <cc0de> Hi mumpitze1, Cuz i'm using an old version of ubuntu, i need to install some packages using apt-get .. & its says theres no packages available on this source .. :/
[08:13] <Atlantic777> gordonjcp: no, I think it's not the case because if cpu is on such load, ssh wouldn't prompt me for password and probably wouldn't respond immidiatelly if I enter wrong password. Right?
[08:13] <bekks> exalt: Uselss use of bash I'd say :) Just run: /usr/bin/python /srv/nieuws/backend.py grabber run >> /var/log/script_output.log 2>&1
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> !eol | cc0de
[08:13] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, hi i just testing my system with live session yet there is no freezing problem i found , and the smartctl  - a /dev/sda output is here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917603/ is my system hardware having any issue or it is any videodriver issue ?
[08:13] <e0je> xorg searches for fglrx, i had it installed at one point but i removed it however it still tries to load it, how can i stop xorg from detecting it?
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> cc0de: we would recommend you installing a version from topic
[08:14] <mumpitze1> cc0de: generally your ubuntu has all repos it can have in its sources.list. upgrade to a newer, supported ubuntu version which provides the software you want
[08:14] <cc0de> Thanks .. but i'am using a penetration testing distribution, i'am using BlackBuntu
[08:14] <mumpitze1> e0je: by editing your xorg.conf. normally you can delete xorg.conf
[08:14] <bekks> cc0de: Which is not supported in here at all.
[08:14] <bekks> cc0de: Ask the balckbuntu support please.
[08:15] <cc0de> Okay :) Sorry 4that
[08:15] <ddssc> how do I empty the trash. I can't believe im asking this... lol
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> cc0de: also keep in mind older version might get you the target of pentesting :p
[08:15] <e0je> mumpitze1: I dont have xorg.conf its detected automatically by Xorg
[08:15] <cc0de> no .. LOL everything is updated, i just wanna update its source list
[08:16] <mumpitze1> e0je: chekc /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ then
[08:16] <Slart> ddssc: either using nautilus (right clicking on the trash icon on the desktop or I think you can go to "trash:" and you'll get an "empty trash" button there
[08:16] <mumpitze1> cc0de: we do not support blackbuntu. please respect that
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> cc0de: why not installing latest and install pentesting packages from regular ubuntu?
[08:16] <e0je> mumpitze1: no dont have those dir
[08:17] <cc0de> I wanna do that :D (y) thanks for advice guys
[08:17] <mumpitze1> e0je: then how is it looking for fglrx?
[08:17] <e0je> mumpitze1: http://pastebin.com/7A8xJ7UW
[08:17] <e0je> mumpitze1: i dunno
[08:18] <alejin> hello
[08:18] <e0je> thats my xorg log, mind you i have a lot of heads and two gfx cards 1 ati and 1 intel.....the VGA1 is giving me issues
[08:18] <mumpitze1> e0je: no problem there then
[08:18] <mumpitze1> unless you actually describe your issues
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> e0je: 2 grafix cards in one pc?
[08:19] <e0je> lotuspsychje: yes
[08:19] <e0je> its a meda dock actually
[08:20] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, when i rebooted my system last time the
[08:20] <sharpshooter>     The system is running in low-graphics mode
[08:20] <sharpshooter>     Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.
[08:21] <e0je> mumpitze1: xorg spits tries to load fglrx and errors like crazy then when everything is running VGA1 gives me wavy horizontal lines
[08:21] <e0je> VGA1 runs on intel i915 opensource
[08:22] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1,  should i reinstall my system or is there any solution that should i use ??
[08:22] <MarcWillis> Hello, I am having trouble booting ubuntu from a usb flashdrive onto my laptop which currently is running windows vista. I was wondering if its even possible to run ubuntu on a laptop, and if so, is it possible that my BIOS just does not support booting from a USB?
[08:23] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: this is not windows, reinstallation is not a solution.
[08:23] <ubuntu76> you can run ubuntu on laptop
[08:23] <mumpitze1> MarcWillis: unlikely, very unlikely that you can't boot from USB. and it's normally fine to run ubuntu on laptops
[08:24] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, ok I checked with alt+ctrl+f1 that is working perfectly i guess it the problem is related to my system video card ??
[08:24] <ubuntu76> check your bios to see if it shows up on the boot order if it does make it first to boot
[08:24] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, and there is no freezing in live session !
[08:25] <theos> so nobody else has kworker problem? :S
[08:25] <ubuntu76> if it is not there then bios does not support it
[08:25] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: could very well be. again: check for heat problems and do some troubleshooting
[08:25] <MarcWillis> It doesn't even show up as an option on the boot menu, it only displays "windows vista"
[08:26] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, i checked the heat all  temperature  shows below 65 only
[08:26] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: what videocard(s)?
[08:26] <ubuntu76> i would make a cd if you can be easier to install that way
[08:27] <mumpitze1> MarcWillis: it needs to show up in BIOS, not on the boot menu. what laptop is this?
[08:27] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, if the live session is working perfect means it not related to hardware right ?
[08:27] <mumpitze1> no it doesn't. drivers in the live session might be different
[08:28] <mumpitze1> !pm | MarcWillis
[08:29] <MarcWillis> mumpitze1: sorry, I am quite new to IRC chat
[08:29] <mumpitze1> so what laptop is it?
[08:30] <MarcWillis> it is a compaq
[08:30] <mumpitze1> compaq is not a laptop, is it?
[08:30] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1 : i use psensor in my ubuntu system and i check with that and also i enabled the notification in that app it is in below 65 only
[08:30] <ubuntu76> made by hp
[08:31] <mumpitze1> hp doesn't make a single laptop either
[08:31] <mumpitze1> and neither is hp a laptop
[08:31] <ubuntu76> oh thought compaq was hp brand
[08:31] <MarcWillis> sorry, its a presario CQ50
[08:31] <mumpitze1> it is. but hp hasn't made laptops for many years. clevo, foxconn, pegatron do
[08:32] <MarcWillis> but the brand is a compaq
[08:32] <mumpitze1> MarcWillis: that one certainly can boot from USB
[08:32] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, i got a solution in this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error i'm going to try it !
[08:32] <kafee> hi everybody
[08:33] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: is it running in this mode right now? of so, pastebing your Xorg.0.log instead
[08:33] <MarcWillis> So, I need to access the BIOS before the startup correct?
[08:33] <mumpitze1> yes
[08:34] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, sure
[08:36] <kafee> want to connect two monitors in my system, both should show half -half of my system screen, can any one help me out
[08:37] <kafee> i am having ubuntu os in it.
[08:37] <elky> kafee: plug them both in, then search for "displays" and choose that app, then un-tick "mirror"

[08:42] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwaits: what wlan chipset and what does sudo iwlist scanning   spit out?
[08:43] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, this is my Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917673/  (taken from my system that having freezing issue)
[08:43] <DestinyAwaits> dunno.. :( I haven't checked it for that I have to shutdown windows and boot into ubuntu again
[08:43] <DestinyAwaits> :(
[08:44] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwaits: so what chipset?
[08:44] <DestinyAwaits> Broadcom
[08:44] <DestinyAwaits> Using netbook 1215B Asus
[08:44] <mumpitze1> that's no chipset.
[08:44] <DestinyAwaits> ah ok
[08:45] <DestinyAwaits> I have given the model no. Will that help?
[08:45] <DestinyAwaits> Asus Netbook 1215B
[08:45] <mumpitze1> so if you have a connection established: do a "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" if that works it's probably your DNS resolver that is broken. if it doesn,'t ping your router IP. if that doesn't work either then you have no connection and should show us your dmesg output
[08:46] <DestinyAwaits> ok what I do is shutdown windows again boot into linux and do the following..
[08:46] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwaits: it does not. e.g this eeepc 1215b has a ralink chipset: http://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-Asus-Eee-PC-1215B-Netbook.55266.0.html
[08:47] <DestinyAwaits> one thing here if the ping <IP_ADDRESS> is the problem ie the DNS Resolver how can i fix it?
[08:47] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1,  ?
[08:48] <ikonia> DestinyAwaits: ping is nothing to do with dns
[08:48] <DestinyAwaits> ah ok
[08:48] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwaits: put putting "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" into your /etc/resolv.conf file and coming back here under ubuntu
[08:48] <mumpitze1> s/put/by/
[08:48] <ikonia> DestinyAwaits: don't do what mumpitze1 said
[08:48] <DestinyAwaits> so shall i boot into ubuntu and check again?
[08:48] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: your log looks fine
[08:48] <ikonia> DestinyAwaits: ubuntu uses dnsmaq so putting it in /etc/resolv.conf conf won't help
[08:48] <MarcWillis> mumpitse1: Thank you very much, it is working now. sorry for the PM's earlier
[08:48] <mumpitze1> ikonia: huh?
[08:49] <mumpitze1> ikonia: so ubuntu uses a different resolver than the one frm libc?
[08:49] <mooperd> ck
[08:49] <bInaRc01D> hello
[08:49] <ikonia> mumpitze1: it forwards requests to dnsmasq, that's why <IP_ADDRESS> is in resolv.conf
[08:49] <mumpitze1> ikonia: that wasn't the question
[08:50] <ikonia> and constantly overwrites resolv.conf to re-point it to dnsmasq
[08:50] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, here is my sensor temp : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917689/
[08:50] <DestinyAwaits> Sorry to interupt guys shall I try booting into ubuntu and check ping command and dmesg?
[08:50] <mumpitze1> ikonia: and where does it store the actual authoritative DNS server?
[08:51] <ikonia> mumpitze1: it's something like /etc/resolv.conf.d/$something
[08:51] <DestinyAwaits> and if possible as dmesg is quite huge is there something in particular you are looking for?
[08:51] <ikonia> mumpitze1: I don't have an ubuntu box to check it at the moment
[08:51] <DestinyAwaits> so I can tell you that part only
[08:52] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwaits: just put it into a pastebin. it's the part about loading the drivers and connecting to the AP. I dunno if you know how to spot it which why it's better to pastebin it all
[08:52] <mooperd> I am setting up socks proxies with "ssh -D2001 root@ip". I would like to be able to see how much data is flowing over this socket. It is possible to use netcat to "scan" what is going on here and pipe it into pv?
[08:52] <mumpitze1> mooperd: and you run which distro exactly?
[08:52] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, so what is the possible solution for me  if i want to reinstall my display drive how can i do it ?
[08:52] <Anaxandridas> Hi, guys. I just installed Ubuntu a couple days ago, so I'm noob. I'm trying to get the latest stable version of Libreoffice, which is 4.0-something. The download off the software center only has LibreOffice 3,5. I tried installing it directly from the Libreoffice site, but the installer just doesn't seem to run. So I used the terminal code as it says here "http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/install-libreoffice-40-in-ubuntu-1204.h
[08:52] <Anaxandridas> tml", but it's still 3,5. Could someone help a noob out here? I don't know much about Linux, and most of my computer use is just typing.
[08:53] <DestinyAwaits> mumpitze1: ah ok.. I will try to join it ASAP.. Thanks a lot.. :)
[08:53] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: no need. there is nothing to reinstall with intel hd graphics
[08:54] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: it might be the bug in the askubuntu link you gave. you can try that workaround if you are willing
[08:55] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, ok thanks for you help :) i helped me a lot .
[08:55] <sharpshooter> your*
[08:55] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, ok thanks for your help :) it helped me a lot . ** typos !! ;)
[08:56] <chalcedony`> my husband is having a terrible time getting his computer to run again. it worked, we were gone for a few days, wouldn't boot. he configured a new drive at home, came back and trying it, it will only go in read-only safe mode. it's ubuntu 12.04 i think
[08:57] <megahoof> Goood morning =)
[08:57] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: dpkg -l |grep libreof; apt-cache policy libreoffice
[08:58] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1,  typed that in. I'm a complete noob to Linux, and not sure what any of that means, though.
[08:59] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: put the output of it all into a pastebin
[09:00] <Anaxandridas> http://pastebin.com/ysmk0Nr1 mumpitze1 thanks for the help.
[09:01] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, one more question here is the bug i experience I guess it has effect by the recent update kernel can i revert back my update to last stable working condition in my system is there any way ? i would love to know because all my personal project workspace is in this system
[09:01] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: you can use an older kernel of course
[09:02] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | mumpitze1
[09:02] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, how did you know what it was that I needed to type in to the terminal to get that result? If I know that, I can save the next helpful person from having to tell me what to type into terminal.
[09:02] <e0je> lol
[09:02] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, sounds good for me how can I accomplish that any command or tool ?
[09:03] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: I need to know what libreoffice versions(s) are installed and where your apt will get them from when you try to install it. these two commands will tell me that
[09:03] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, or i want to download that previous version and compile it in my system ?
[09:03] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: you can but I wouldn't do it. downloading it from repos or packages.ubuntu.com is easier
[09:04] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: what kernel do you want? which version?
[09:04] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, I was asking how you knew what those two commands were. That way next time I have a stupid question, I already know the commands to get the information they need.
[09:05] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: knowledge about how the packaing system works
[09:05] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, i have no idea about the version's that i used i guess it will be latest update from ubuntu OS 13.04. and i have to revert back the kernal prior to it right ?
[09:08] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: IF it is a kernel issue. I was more thinnking about it being a displaymanager issue as described in that aksubuntu thread
[09:09] <mooperd> mumpitze1: osx, freebsd, ubuntu, debian and centos
[09:09] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, you mean lightDM ?
[09:09] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: "The greeter is invalid" one in your link, yes
[09:09] <sharpshooter> yes
[09:10] <mumpitze1> !pm | Anaxandridas
[09:10] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, sorry this was the link http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error
[09:10] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: there is no other answer except what I already wrote
[09:11] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, anyway am going to fix the lightdm first and the kernal option will be the last option
[09:11] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: if you want to lear, read documentation about the two commands, dpkg and apt-cache, learn how to use pipes with grep to filter output. those are good things to learn for managing your ubuntu system
[09:11] <chalcedony`> the error he gets is longish: Verifying DMI Pool data, then The system is running in Low Graphics Mode, your screen, graphics card, and input devices could not be detected correctly.. then "what would you like to do?" - but it can't see the keyboard  to do anything. help?
[09:11] <Mathcubes> Can anyone help me?
[09:11] <karven> What's wrong
[09:11] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, i am installing kernel first time what things should i consider ?
[09:11] <Mathcubes> #!/bin/bash
[09:12] <Mathcubes>  $A = "$(whoami)"
[09:12] <Mathcubes> echo $A
[09:12] <Mathcubes> What am I doing wrong?
[09:12] <DestinyAwait> Finally I have wifi working on ubuntu
[09:12] <DestinyAwait> :)
[09:12] <DJones> Mathcubes: Probably best asking in #bash (Could be ##bash)
[09:12] <DestinyAwait> It's /etc/resolv.conf
[09:12] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: probably the kernel is still there. dpkg -l |grep linux-image
[09:12] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: what was it?
[09:13] <DestinyAwait> I addded nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:13] <chalcedony`> YAY DestinyAwait :)
[09:13] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, k
[09:13] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1, thanks !
[09:13] <chalcedony`> hi KindOne
[09:13] <DestinyAwait> mumpitze1: just added the nameserver entry thanks a lot
[09:13] <DestinyAwait> yea thanks
[09:13] <DestinyAwait> one more question
[09:13] <DestinyAwait> I do have some broken dependencies
[09:14] <DestinyAwait> :(
[09:14] <DestinyAwait> When I am trying to install a new package I was getting error to fix broken dependencies
[09:14] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: that's only a temporary solution ask ikonia mentioned what is the output of ls -l /etc/resolv*  ?
[09:14] <DestinyAwait> using apt-get -f
[09:14] <ikonia> DestinyAwait: as I told you - that is not the correct fix
[09:14] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: pastebin the output of your apt-get command into a pastebin
[09:14] <ikonia> DestinyAwait: it will keep breaking if you add things into /etc/resolv.conf
[09:14] <DestinyAwait> hmm
[09:15] <DestinyAwait> ok pasting the output
[09:15] <ikonia> DestinyAwait: output of what ?
[09:15] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: for both commands btw
[09:15] <DestinyAwait> ok
[09:15] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: I suggest you fix one problem first then the other.
[09:15] <chalcedony`> i'm afraid i really do need help?
[09:15] <DestinyAwait> ok
[09:16] <DestinyAwait> posting second
[09:16] <DestinyAwait> One is this: http://pastebin.com/XHdiNJNH
[09:17] <chalcedony`> he keeps restarting the computer, it's not seeing his hardware - monitor or keyboard
[09:17] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, not really sure what you want me to do from here. I gave you the pastebin you said you wanted in order to offer a solution. You didn't offer a solution. I PMd you saying I had time (which I do), so let me know when you're ready to tackle it, and you told me to not PM you on the grounds that you would help me here. Will you do so?
[09:17] <DestinyAwait> Second: http://pastebin.com/zA8VXu8G
[09:18] <mumpitze1> Amandil: sprry. dodm
[09:18] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: sorry, didn't see the link
[09:18] <ShotokanZH> hi all
[09:18] <DestinyAwait> mumpitze1: ikonia: Posted both the errors..
[09:18] <chalcedony`> DestinyAwait, part of the frustration of asking for help from volunteers who have work or real life things going
[09:18] <DestinyAwait> hi ShotokanZH
[09:18] <chalcedony`> hi ShotokanZH
[09:19] <DestinyAwait> chalcedony`: Sorry Mate..
[09:19] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: sudo apt-get upgrade   should install the newest libreoffice
[09:20] <Anaxandridas> It doesn't, though. I tried that, because I found that line while Googling.
[09:20] <DestinyAwait> chalcedony`: they requested me to post the output so I did it.. I will not direct to individuals
[09:20] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: apt-get install libreoffice-write libreoffice-common libreoffice-gtk     that should do it
[09:21] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, thank you.
[09:21] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: install the java6-jre
[09:21] <mumpitze1> !java
[09:21] <mumpitze1> the openjdk should be in the repos and easiest (and preferred) to install
[09:21] <DestinyAwait> mumpitze1:  I don't wanted to install it now.. as its not needed
[09:22] <DestinyAwait> I just wanted the error to go away
[09:22] <DestinyAwait> so I can apt-get install any other package
[09:22] <DestinyAwait> one more thing here
[09:23] <mumpitze1> DestinyAwait: it is needed
[09:24] <mumpitze1> or you need to uninstall your weechat or whatever needs java via dpkg -r
[09:24] <DestinyAwait> First when I issued the command sudo apt-get install weechat it said install dependency weechat-curses first.. When I said install sudo apt-get install weechat-curses it is saying me to install weechat-plugins first
[09:24] <DestinyAwait> :(
[09:24] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, this is the result of your recent advisement. http://pastebin.com/NBYJ16R5
[09:25] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, I AM using my main account,and have never had an issue installing anything. Not really sure why it's saying I don't have admin priviledge.
[09:25] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: a ubuntu user should know how to use sudo when installing software, no?
[09:26] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, I started using Ubuntu three days ago. Sorry. Trying again...
[09:27] <DestinyAwait> Ah resolved that jdk problem now using sudo dpkg -r davmail
[09:27] <DestinyAwait> it's kinda making the mess
[09:28] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, it is my understanding that as long as I type "sudo" in front of it, it should be running the command as root. Please explain what I'm doing wrong there, because it has the same result. I DID use sudo the first time. It simply lists all packages "kept back", 17 of them. All the ones I want.
[09:28] <DestinyAwait> So I was asking about this problem
[09:28] <DestinyAwait> First when I issued the command sudo apt-get install weechat it said install dependency weechat-curses first.. When I said install sudo apt-get install weechat-curses it is saying me to install weechat-plugins first
[09:28] <cha0z1> hi is there any way to force ubuntu 13.04 to use vpn dns server and not the <IP_ADDRESS> ( routers)
[09:29] <DestinyAwait> is there a way to issue the command such a way that all the depencies gets installed automatically?
[09:29] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: kept back mean it wasn't upgraded cause they would other packages to be uninstalled, or such
[09:29] <mumpitze1> *they would cause
[09:30] <mumpitze1> to quote a debian bot: <dpkg> i heard kept back is when packages have not been upgraded even though newer versions are available.  This happens if dependencies cannot be resolved, packages are on hold or you used "upgrade" not "full-upgrade" and old
[09:30] <mumpitze1>              packages need to be removed as part of the upgrade.  To investigate, "aptitude -s install <kept-package>".  See also http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/69 and ask me about <full-upgrade>.
[09:30] <Anaxandridas> So, ultimately, how do I get an upgraded version of LibreOffice, mumpitze1?
[09:30] <Atlantic777> ssh nightmare update: I can exec remote commands with ssh -T. From dmesg it seems that fish (a shell) crashed so I tried to start bash and it doesn't work. From strace I can see that it fails on opening a tty. Very strange. If anyone has ideas... :D
[09:30] <Anaxandridas> updated*
[09:31] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: apt-get install libreoffice-writer
[09:32] <Atlantic777> cha0z1: <IP_ADDRESS> is the localhost so you use your own DNS server. Check out /etc/resolv.conf
[09:32] <Anaxandridas> We did that one, mumpitze1. It went through the motions of installing, but nothing had changed, which is why you gave me the update command.
[09:33] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: what motions?
[09:33] <mumpitze1> does apt-get install <package> install said package or not?
[09:33] <mumpitze1> and if you still don't understand how to prepend sudo to such a command you are on your own
[09:33] <Anaxandridas> Where it says a bunch of stuff about unpacking packages, counts down percentages, whatever. It looks in terminal like it IS installing it. But Libreoffice remains unchanged.
[09:34] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: dpkg -l |grep libreoffice   to check
[09:34] <Anaxandridas> mumpitze1, no matter how patronizing or demeaning you make a reference to it, I'm using sudo just like anyone else, as already established.
[09:34] <Anaxandridas> You already gave me that. I pasted the results...
[09:35] <mumpitze1> Anaxandridas: good luck solving your problems
[09:35] <Anaxandridas> I'll need it, considering the help I've gotten. Have a nice day.
[09:35] <mumpitze1> hint: after you do some stuff like installing packages, the installed package list might have changed, especially the versioning
[09:44] <Hexagonite> Anyone know an AMD driver with fast 2D performance?
[09:45] <e0je> radeon
[09:45] <mumpitze1> Hexagonite: which chip?
[09:45] <Hexagonite> mumpitze1: Radeon HD 6290
[09:46] <mumpitze1> then you have a choice between radeon and fglrx. choose your poison
[09:46] <mumpitze1> radeon probably still has awful powermanagement
[09:46] <Hexagonite> 'radeon' driver?
[09:46] <mumpitze1> yes
[09:46] <innerand> Hi! I would like to have a wav-(or flac)stream as "sound card". Any ideas how to do this?
[09:46] <mumpitze1> then one where you don't have to do anything. ubuntu uses it out of the box
[09:47] <Hexagonite> ohhh. that's what I'm actually using at the moment, but there are horizontal lines at some colors.
[09:47] <mumpitze1> innerand: to do what exactly?
[09:47] <Hexagonite> I tried fglrx but 2D is too slow
[09:48] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1:  great ! The system is working fine now I just used the advance option from grub and loaded the previous version of kernel now there is no freezing issue (uptime is 20 min now) :)
[09:48] <innerand> mumpitze1, I would like to use my squeezebox as sound output.
[09:49] <mumpitze1> sharpshooter: good luck
[09:49] <sharpshooter> mumpitze1:  thanks man ! :)
[09:49] <innerand> mumpitze1, so everything what would go to the soundcard should go as a wave stream to the squeezebox
[09:50] <Hexagonite> Is the brightness problem in xorg-edgers fixed now?
[09:50] <innerand> or flac to reduce network load
[09:55] <bleb> I'm trying to disable my thinkpad's tap-to-click without using a gui. Looking at xorg.conf.d, does anyone know what to do?

[09:59] <ShotokanZH> hi all
[09:59] <ShotokanZH> anyone can help me with an ASUS k55vd?
[09:59] <ShotokanZH> i can't boot into kubuntu or ubuntu
[09:59] <ShotokanZH> windows 8 has the priority on it, it seems
[10:00] <ShotokanZH> the bios seems to boot directly the win8 partition instead of the mbr
[10:04] <hewhomust> Shoto, do you even get a grub menu?
[10:04] <mumpitze1> ShotokanZH: is secure boot off?
[10:05] <ShotokanZH> hewhomust, nope
[10:05] <ShotokanZH> mumpitze1, yes
[10:05] <hewhomust> where did you install grub to?
[10:05] <mumpitze1> ShotokanZH: go into BIOS and make it boot from USB (that is if you want to install ubuntu)
[10:05] <ShotokanZH> hewhomust, /dev/sda
[10:05] <hewhomust> k
[10:05] <ShotokanZH> mumpitze1, it's already installed, it simply does not boot grub
[10:06] <ShotokanZH> hewhomust, should be the pxe oprom boot disabled?
[10:07] <mumpitze1> UEFI?
[10:07] <hewhomust> yeah i had the same problem when i installed by uefi too
[10:07] <hewhomust> i had to actually boot into usb or cd
[10:07] <ShotokanZH> hewhomust, there's no way to bypass that??
[10:08] <hewhomust> shoto, what boot option did you use, there might be two things for the same usb?
[10:09] <ShotokanZH> hewhomust, i choose the uefi one
[10:09] <ShotokanZH> (right?)
[10:09] <hewhomust> thats the problem
[10:10] <hewhomust> the installation is slightly different from uefi than usb
[10:10] <ShotokanZH> hewhomust, have i to choose the normal one so?
[10:10] <ShotokanZH> not the one with 'uefi' in the name?
[10:10] <hewhomust> yes the usb option that should work

[10:16] <poppingtonic> hi hew
[10:16] <ShotokanZH> poppingtonic, why don't you upgrade to 13.04?

[10:19] <poppingtonic> hew: it started out really low, and now I can't hear a thing. A quick look at my speakers, and it doesn't look like dust caused the problem. Plus, I cleaned it a few weeks ago.

[10:20] <poppingtonic> hewhomust: which mode? Playback?
[10:21] <hewhomust> poppington, how many reboots have you had after this issue started?

[10:29] <akaWolf> hello! can you help me? I've got error: "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE"
[10:30] <JainAmber> Hello
[10:31] <JainAmber> I'll like to get the distro version name (e.g. lucid or precise) from a command (so that I can pipe this output to another command). How can I find the ubuntu version name?
[10:32] <hewhomust> jain type this into terminal lsb_release -a
[10:32] <fecub> akaWolf: when does it happen?
[10:32] <hewhomust> it should tell you the distro name
[10:32] <utfans05> JainAmber, you can also do uname -a
[10:33] <dotcom> Hello there. I just looked at logs using dmesg. There is a constant message of some error like "76.168711] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" , "88.340566] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0"
[10:34] <dotcom> What does this mean? And how do i rectify it?
[10:34] <utfans05> dotcom, may have a bad sector on your hard drive.
[10:34] <Wally> Is it okay to install Ubuntu into a VM and then use the USB stick used in the VM on another computer?
[10:34] <akaWolf> fecub: when I try to mount device under user
[10:34] <akaWolf> fecub: mount /dev/...
[10:35] <dotcom> Here's the complete log, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5917909/
[10:35] <utfans05> akaWolf, are you doing it as sudo?
[10:35] <JainAmber> Thanks hewhomust
[10:35] <hewhomust> np
[10:35] <akaWolf> utfans05: no
[10:35] <utfans05> akaWolf, try it as sudo and see if it works.
[10:35] <dotcom> utfans05, are you sure fd0 device represents my hard disk?
[10:36] <akaWolf> utfans05: I see, but I not want do it as sudo...
[10:36] <utfans05> dotcom, im double checking your log. gimme a minute please.
[10:36] <fecub> akaWolf: i know this problem, you must install ntfs-3g and then you can mount it with sudo ntfs-3g /dev/<handle> <mountpunkt> -o force
[10:36] <dotcom> sure
[10:36] <fecub> akaWolf: test it before with "sudo" :) sudo mount
[10:36] <akaWolf> fecub: I have ntfs-3g installed
[10:37] <ShotokanZH> do anyone know if ubuntu now fully supports the nvidia graphic cards+intel hd ones?
[10:37] <poppingtonic> success.
[10:37] <akaWolf> fecub: UUID=E614A27C14A24F7D /media/1.5Tb auto defaults,user 0 0 -- in fstab
[10:37] <utfans05> dotcom, sorry thats a floppy drive.
[10:37] <akaWolf> fecub: it's right?
[10:38] <utfans05> dotcom, are you running on some old hardware or something special?
[10:38] <Slart> ShotokanZH: I'm not sure if you can switch like you can on windows but, at least on my laptop, I can use the intel one and probably the nvidia one separately.. ie reboot inbetween switching
[10:39] <dotcom> utfans05: I am not running some special hardware and my pc configuration is also not that old. And by the way, my computer has no floppy drive.
[10:39] <ShotokanZH> Slart, do you've a bios switch for that or a linux option?
[10:39] <utfans05> ShotokanZH, it is possible, i have a few friends at work that use the built in optimus hardware in their laptops. I however do not know exactly how to do it. but there are some guides out there on how to do it.
[10:39] <dotcom> utfans05: Can i just disable that fd0 device?
[10:40] <utfans05> dotcom, check your bios and make sure its not trying to auto detect a floppy drive.
[10:40] <Slart> ShotokanZH: I have a bios switch but I think I have to do stuff in linux as well.. ie set what graphics device X should use and so on
[10:40] <Slart> ShotokanZH: it's been a while since I messed with it
[10:40] <QTPieMan> dotcom, arnt u on the ##hardware ?
[10:40] <utfans05> dotcom,  you could also blacklist the driver for your floppy if you want to get into it.
[10:41] <fecub> akaWolf: i don't know. hmm try it with "sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda /media/mountfolder" Create befrore a folder in /media. And for sda you look in your /dev/sd[a-z]
[10:42] <akaWolf> fecub: I already try that, it't not work (
[10:42] <akaWolf> s*
[10:43] <utfans05> akaWolf, is it producing any error messages?
[10:43] <fecub> akaWolf: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34731/howto-auto-mount-windows-partitions-using-etc-fstab
[10:44] <dotcom> utfans05: Thank you. Yes, maybe i should disable that module. And i will also look into BIOS.
[10:44] <stroodlepup> hi
[10:44] <dotcom> QTPieMan: Yes
[10:44] <hewhomust> hi stroodle
[10:44] <stroodlepup> are there ftp servers for synaptic
[10:44] <stroodlepup> ?
[10:44] <utfans05> dotcom, sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf < "blacklist floppy" will put in entry into your blacklist file that will keep it from loading.
[10:44] <QTPieMan> dotcom, hm
[10:44] <akaWolf> fecub: my fstab write accordingly this answer, but it's not work...
[10:45] <Wulf> stroodlepup: eh?
[10:45] <akaWolf> utfans05: yes, like at this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34731/howto-auto-mount-windows-partitions-using-etc-fstab
[10:45] <Wulf> stroodlepup: synaptic is touchpad, right?
[10:45] <Nanashi> This is what my ntfs partition mount looks like:
[10:45] <Nanashi> /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[10:45] <stroodlepup> i meant synaptic package manager :)
[10:45] <Wulf> stroodlepup: ah, that one. Why do you want ftp server for it?
[10:46] <marz> Where can I configure CLASSPATH for Java?
[10:46] <Wulf> export CLASSPATH=... ?
[10:47] <utfans05> akaWolf, can you post the exact error please.
[10:47] <stroodlepup> marz, you can add export CLASSPATH= on your .bashrc file :)
[10:48] <marz> stroodlepup: I'm sorry for asking, but what is the .bashrc file for?
[10:48] <stroodlepup> open nautilus, then ctrl + h
[10:48] <akaWolf> utfans05: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
[10:48] <akaWolf> library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
[10:48] <akaWolf> FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
[10:48] <akaWolf> http://tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged
[10:48] <akaWolf> sorry, larga text
[10:48] <FloodBot1> akaWolf: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:48] <akaWolf> large*
[10:48] <utfans05> no its fine.
[10:48] <stroodlepup> it will show .bashrc in your home folder :)
[10:49] <utfans05> akaWolf, stupid question, have you rebooted?
[10:49] <akaWolf> utfans05: for what, sorry? :)
[10:49] <stroodlepup> so,
[10:50] <utfans05> akaWolf, if you read the solution on the page that you just linked to me, a reboot fixed his error. it may fix it for you also.
[10:50] <akaWolf> utfans05: ah, that very strange, but I try :)
[10:50] <utfans05> akaWolf, lemme know if it works after reboot.
[10:51] <akaWolf> utfans05: yeah
[10:55] <joshu> hi I'm trying to use check install to create a package that I can distribute to other machines
[10:55] <joshu> I have the following command string: "sudo checkinstall -fstrans=no -install=no -pkgversion="1.1.0-beta1" -pkgname=freerdp -y -requires=libavcodec53"
[10:55] <akaWolf> utfans05: no, it's not work for user, but automount work
[10:56] <akaWolf> (after system start all drive in fstab mount automatic)
[10:56] <nyl> hey has any got the new nvidia drivers to work properly
[10:56] <joshu> when I deploy this on another machine using sudo dpkg -i *.deb it gives me an error that the package dependency libavcodec53 is not met. I thought the *.deb would install this dependency automatically. What have i missed?
[10:57] <utfans05> akaWolf, so now the drive is there?
[10:57] <akaWolf> utfans05: but I (just user, not root) not have permission to mount/umount devices
[10:58] <Raziel2p> anyone know of a way to get a notification in the shell when trying to edit a file you don't have write access to?
[10:58] <akaWolf> utfans05: drive after reboot here )
[10:58] <utfans05> akaWolf, im pretty sure you have to be sudo to mount/unmount a drive.
[10:58] <moza> Hello
[10:59] <akaWolf> utfans05: KDE do it without root permission )
[11:00] <babinlonston> alfreddba: u there
[11:00] <utfans05> Raziel2p, the file will not allow a user to edit it if they do not have the correct permissions. im unsure if it puts a log entry or command line message.
[11:00] <moza> I want to make my radon 9550 (rv350) graphics card send in 16:9 to a TV instead of 4:3. I think i might lack som drivers. Is there a specific place to find them or is 16:9 another kind of issue?
[11:00] <joshu> cross posting in ubuntu-server
[11:00] <utfans05> moza, have you already installed the ati drivers?
[11:01] <Raziel2p> utfans05, I know that, I'm just sick of making edits to config files only to find out I've forgotten to sudo
[11:01] <moza> no utfans05, the drivers are those given with the cd, from the original 13.04 ubuntu install
[11:02] <utfans05> moza, you can either research how to do it through xrandr or you can install the ati drivers and try to do it through the ati gui.
[11:02] <utfans05> Raziel2p, i understand how annoying that can be.
[11:02] <utfans05> Raziel2p, but idk of any packages/addons that will do that for ya.
[11:02] <utfans05> Raziel2p, are you doing alot of editing in command line or all through the gui?
[11:03] <nyl> on xrandr it shown me program version 1.3.5
[11:03] <nyl> and server version 1.4
[11:03] <nyl> o_O
[11:03] <utfans05> nyl, thats fine.
[11:03] <Raziel2p> utfans05, linux servers
[11:04] <nyl> utfans05, had to reinstall ubuntu, and try again to install the new 319 nvidia drivers
[11:04] <Raziel2p> I was sure crunchbang had something like this out of the box, but I can't find out what it actually was
[11:04] <utfans05> Raziel2p, my suggestion would be to do a ls -alh before opening it in (insert editor you choose) and checking who the file belongs to.
[11:05] <utfans05> nyl, i currently dont run the nvidia drivers on my laptop i use for linux. as far as i know all you should have to do is "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" and that will install the current stable nvidia drivers.
[11:05] <tlopez> I am trying to create a live usb stick
[11:05] <tlopez> with 12 GB persistence
[11:06] <utfans05> tlopez, have you tried unetbootin?
[11:06] <nyl> utfans05, the problem is that my laptop is optimus xD
[11:06] <tlopez> I have the stick in 2 parts 3Gb FAT and 15 GB ntfs
[11:06] <utfans05> nyl, oh....
[11:06] <utfans05> um.
[11:06] <tlopez> unetbootin is linux program?
[11:06] <utfans05> you have want to do some google searching, i dont know how to get it working properly.
[11:06] <utfans05> tlopez, yes.
[11:07] <utfans05> tlopez, in a command line type sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[11:07] <utfans05> that will dl it for you.
[11:07] <nyl> 319 drivers have optimus support but i think they need 3.9 kernel
[11:07] <tlopez> and unetbootin can make a stick with persistence of 15GB?
[11:08] <utfans05> nyl, im unsure.
[11:08] <utfans05> tlopez, IIRC yes.
[11:08] <nyl> is 3.9 kernel RC status?
[11:08] <utfans05> im unsure what you mean by RC status
[11:08] <nyl> release candidate
[11:09] <utfans05> 1 sec. lemme see
[11:10] <utfans05> nyl, take a look here. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia-current
[11:10] <utfans05> it should list what is included in nvidia-current.
[11:10] <utfans05> looks like its only 3.04
[11:10] <utfans05> sorry
[11:10] <utfans05> 304
[11:10] <nyl> yea, the new ones are still in beta
[11:11] <utfans05> you can always try going to the nvidia website and getting one from that.
[11:11] <utfans05> although i cannot guarantee that it will work.
[11:11] <nyl> installed the newest one and xorg crashed not detecting nvidia card
[11:12] <nyl> even tough i specified the bus id of it
[11:12] <utfans05> you can try to uninstall nvidia-current and then dl the one from nvidia and try it.
[11:12] <utfans05> how fresh is your install.
[11:12] <nyl> just reinstalled it
[11:13] <nyl> also i got no hdmi sound
[11:13] <utfans05> im thinking a worst case scenario to where if something goes really bad you can just reinstall...
[11:13] <utfans05> the hdmi sound is a different issue.
[11:13] <utfans05> thats got to do with alsa and pulse
[11:14] <nyl> nvidia
[11:15] <utfans05> hrm, ive seen a ton of guys that have had to swap which audio driver they were using to get hdmi to work properly.
[11:15] <utfans05> but i could be wrong.
[11:15] <utfans05> lol
[11:15] <nyl> lol, i rather us aux out then xD
[11:16] <utfans05> yeah, even in my windows 7 box my hdmi audio is wacky

[11:27] <utfans05> ok
[11:27] <guest-wwnPFc> and it killed gnome-shell and libgdm ( some package conflict)
[11:27] <cfhowlett> !ppa|guest-wwnPFc,
[11:27] <guest-wwnPFc> now im having issue forcing lightdm to use Ubuntu (unity) session
[11:28] <guest-wwnPFc> cfhowlett, i dont want to purge a ppa - lightdm still tries to log me using gnome-shell that is not present
[11:28] <guest-wwnPFc> !lightdm
[11:28] <dmfeld22> anybody have a fix, other than 'apt-get <whatever>, for the ubuntu software center nightmare?
[11:28] <guest-wwnPFc> i removed $HOME/.dmrc
[11:29] <cfhowlett> dmfeld22, "nightmare" ?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> dmfeld22, what is it you want to install
[11:29] <utfans05> dmfeld22, yeah nightmare? wahts going on?
[11:29] <guest-wwnPFc> and /var/cache/lightdm/username.dmrc

[11:29] <jost> Hi! I'm trying to build a Raid 1 here, adding a new empty disk mirroring my old main harddisk. The system has a Asus P5N-D mainboard with XUbuntu, the P5N-D has a NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI chipset on it. Now I can create a raid 1 from the two disks, but when trying to boot from the raid, I get a screen with a blinking prompt and nothing else on it. What is wrong?
[11:29] <utfans05> dmfeld22, are you doing it as root?
[11:30] <cfhowlett> !raid|jost,
[11:30] <dmfeld22> no, i should probably try that
[11:30] <utfans05> dmfeld22, yes it wont work unless you are root or add sudo before apt-get
[11:31] <dmfeld22> i am using sudo
[11:31] <jost> cfhowlett: thanks
[11:31] <cfhowlett> dmfeld22, minor detail like that actually matter sometimes ...
[11:31] <luciie> hi here

[11:36] <max64> http://www.picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2013-07-27_13_34_38-LrUg0V8h.png   need help plz
[11:36] <dmfeld22> cfhowlett, utfans, there's been several requests to fix this on both ubuntu and blackbuntu forums, no one has anything that works
[11:36] <utfans05> dmfeld22, what error is it throwing?
[11:36] <cfhowlett> dmfeld22, what is it you're trying to install?
[11:36] <cfhowlett> !details|dmfeld22,
[11:37] <matrixa1> max64, it seems crossover-pro needs to be uninstalled before you can install crossover
[11:37] <guest-wwnPFc> so any ideas how to set default DM to ubuntu again? its being overwritten from some place every time i log in
[11:38] <dmfeld22> internet commection failed
[11:38] <dmfeld22> connection
[11:39] <max64> matrixal:it isnt synaptic package..i installed it manually..how to remove it?
[11:39] <dv-> guest-wwnPFc: display manager? the default should be the last one you installed
[11:39] <jost> Ok, I've read the wiki about fakeRAID (thats what I want). Is there a way to make it work _without_ reinstalling all my OSes? Especially Ubuntu?
[11:39] <matrixa1> max64, in a terminal type:  sudo apt-get remove crossover-pro
[11:39] <dmfeld22> and failed to download repository informayion
[11:40] <matrixa1> max64, wait, you mean that this isn't a .deb packadge at all?
[11:41] <dmfeld22> I'm running blackbuntu, latest release, the apt-gets return error 404
[11:41] <cfhowlett> dmfeld22, ok, I'll take a crack at this.  run sudo apt-get update and tell us what it says.
[11:41] <cfhowlett> dmfeld22, blackbuntu? not supported here.
[11:41] <dmfeld22> the install button in software center is grayed out
[11:41] <guest-wwnPFc> dv-, yeah but gnome-shell got removed (broken dependancy), and lightdm doesnt show session type picker, so it tries to log me into gnome-shell, when only unity is present, so i can only use guest account :/
[11:41] <utfans05> dmfeld22, ive never heard of blackbuntu.
[11:42] <cfhowlett> utfans05, superduper NSA proof distro or some such ... pen testing maybe?
[11:42] <max64> matrixal:it was .deb downloaded from 4shared.com not the official website
[11:42] <dv-> guest-wwnPFc: it never shows which session you want or it's just broken now?
[11:43] <matrixa1> max64, oh, then "sudo apt-get remove crossover-pro" should work - it should also pop up in the synaptic package manager
[11:43] <dmfeld22> a whole boat load of 'failed to fetch... error 404
[11:44] <Ergo^> dv-, yes it just doesnt allow me to pick any session - because it performs a check if executable is present, so i have no UI to pick unity, and it still tries to log me using shell, annoying as hell :/
[11:44] <max64> matrixa1:i excuted what you told me .. it worked successfully .. 1.000 thanks to you ^_^
[11:44] <dmfeld22> blackbuntu is a kali/ BT version based on ubuntu
[11:44] <Ergo^> okk..... i performed dist upgrade
[11:44] <utfans05> cfhowlett, nothing is nsa proof... lol
[11:44] <Ergo^> and it seems gnome-shell is being installed again
[11:44] <Ergo^> that will solve it - kinda
[11:44] <matrixa1> max64, kickass
[11:44] <Ergo^> :/
[11:45] <cfhowlett> utfans05, I know.  :O
