[10:33] <wilee-nilee> mrafiq, facebook has a a lot of code running, I would install noscript and separate the wheat from the chaffe, that is a FF addon, chrome has a similar flash blocker.
[10:33] <mrafiq> no
[10:34] <mrafiq> how to do that
[10:34] <cfhowlett> mrafiq, I had this issue with sites waiting for platform.twitter to load - blocked in China.  added twitter to adblock - problem solved.
[10:35] <mrafiq> no fb is open in our country
[10:35] <mrafiq> youtube is blocked
[10:36] <cfhowlett> mrafiq, and when facebook and youtube are linked ... as they frequently are ...
[10:36] <dkorzhevin> Huys, please help me with next problem: I have Ubuntu 13.10 and after yesterday's system update i'm unable to login system using lightdm (system just throw me back after entering correct password) i can login in ctrl+alt+f1 console only
[10:36] <Zap-W> varunendra: it isn't blocking
[10:36] <mrafiq> so what to  do
[10:37] <wilee-nilee> dkorzhevin, Was there a kernel update there, and are you running proprietary graphic drivers?
[10:37] <cfhowlett> mrafiq, as wilee-nilee suggested, install noscript and check the code to see what's hangin
[10:37] <varunendra> Zap-W, so does the wifi seem to be active on Ubuntu's part (driver loaded, scanning APs and everything...), just unable to connect to the AP?
[10:37] <dkorzhevin> Seems i use x86-video-ati. so, no any proprietary driver
[10:38] <mrafiq> how to install noscript
[10:38] <dkorzhevin> I simply can't login
[10:38] <cfhowlett> mrafiq, seems to be a chrome add-on .  see the chrome store
[10:39] <wilee-nilee> mrafiq, In firefox its tools-addons-exstensions type it in.
[10:39] <wilee-nilee> mrafiq, Once installed it adds a icon to your panel that has a drop down.

[10:46] <Zap-W> varunendra: what tools do I use to see if it's scanning, driver is loaded
[10:47] <umbalumba> hi. i would like to host a ftp server on a windows machine behind a ubuntu machine. i added a ton of iptable prerouting stuff (google told me to do!) and modprobed ip_conntrack_ftp and nf_nat_ftp .. it helped a bit as i can try to connect now; still i get a timeout (first issue was, the connection request was blocked at all). i can connect fine internal (from local-ipA to local-ipB) but not
[10:47] <umbalumba> via my external ip. plz help =)
[10:49] <varunendra> Zap-W, besides the dropdown menu of Network Manager, usually "nm-tool" command shows the detected APs (cached results). The "sudo iwlist scan" command gives more detailed (live) info.
[10:51] <Zap-W> brb

[11:20] <akhil_> how can I get shell access to a remote machine if the remote doesn't have ssh-server
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  NFS maybe
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  do youhave physical access to the remote?
[11:21] <akhil_> MonkeyDust: yes
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  then why don't you install opensssh-server on it?
[11:22] <akhil_> MonkeyDust: what if someone else is using it, and I don't want to disturb them.
[11:22] <akhil_> :P
[11:23] <akhil_> I know the root password
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  start from the beginning, what is the situation and what do you want to achieve?
[11:24] <akhil_> I want ssh to a another device on my local network
[11:24] <akhil_> but the device doesn't have ssh server
[11:24] <akhil_> so is there any remote login server?  installed by default
[11:24] <linu1> hi i have downloaded eclipse ide for c/c++,i used it for my ubuntu pc,i have create a sample c program, when i try to run it shows me "Launch failed.binary not found" error,how can i solve it
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  no, shell is the easiest and most basic way
[11:27] <akhil_> MonkeyDust: by shell you mean ssh?
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  yes, ssh means secure shell
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> and bash means bourne again shell
[11:28] <akhil_> MonkeyDust: ok so there's no way I can login without the remote having ssh-server
[11:28] <lvleph> for some reason my user is missing the auto login in setting. I can see it on other users, but not mine.
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> akhil_  ask advice from NSA (joking)

[11:36] <dewdgang-frank> hey everyone
[11:37] <dewdgang-frank> quick question, im on a macbook pro with the latest os x and I'd like to run Ubuntu from a SD Card or USB Stick. SD Card would be the best if it's possible. Tried it with a tutorial where I needed to download "rEFIt" and so on.
[11:38] <dewdgang-frank> but after successfull installing ubuntu on my sd card when i hold the option key while booting it only recognizes "rEFIt" to boot.  Cant I just use the standard that came with my mac? (Holding option key while booting gives a choice to boot from external drives by default on a mac since some mac os version.)
[11:42] <dewdgang-frank> cfhowlett Somehow I feel like theres a way to run Ubuntu from SD Card without refit/refind
[11:43] <cfhowlett> dewdgang-frank, according to the developer, refind is the tool you want.  refit is no longer developed or maintained.  see the wiki / forums.  I'm not a mac user
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> dewdgang-frank  maybe the people in the mac channel know
[11:43] <stress_> hello
[11:43] <dewdgang-frank> MonkeyDust you mean #mac ? Tried to join it in the past, invite only
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> dewdgang-frank  then register first
[11:44] <dewdgang-frank> ok
[11:44] <dewdgang-frank> last question

[11:44] <dewdgang-frank> while installing Ubuntu 12 just before the installation finished it said that uhm something thats called like "GRUB" or something like that failed to install. didnt write down the exact name. is it important?!
[11:45] <Geo_> dewdgang-frank i think now you can join the mac channel without to register, i me a mac user too and i ve been there
[11:45] <lecoeus> stress_: well html and c++ are essentially the same thing
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> stress_  type /join ##c++ (that's double #)

[12:01] <urielvigilant> ok, i needed only to do sudo apt-get -f install before lsb work weel to then install printer driver
[12:02] <Wsl> kal_, You dont need unetbootin , you need to burn ubuntu on cd dvd then use it

[12:39] <irc-5225225> geirha: what do you mean? I don't want to actually upgrade them, I just want a list. Can apt-offline do that?
[12:39] <Teleport> impradeepy check pm
[12:39] <impradeepy> ok

[12:43] <lotuspsychje> guest7h8vuo: it might be interesting to pastebin yoir specific init error in chat mate
[12:43] <jrib> guest7h8vuo: create a fresh new user and see if the issue persists

[12:45] <guest7h8vuo> jrib: yeah ill try that
[12:46] <irc-5225225> varunendra: Problem is that can't tell the diffrence between an installed package and one that needs upgrading.
[12:46] <varunendra> or "dpkg --get-selections", irc-5225225
[12:46] <irc-5225225> varunendra: Same problem with dpkg.
[12:47] <guest7h8vuo> lotuspsychje: true

[12:48] <geirha> irc-5225225: apt-offline set --upgrade list.txt
[12:49] <geirha> irc-5225225: gives you lines like: 'url' package size checksum
[12:50] <irc-5225225> geirha: Does it say if the package needs upgrading?
[12:50] <geirha> irc-5225225: with --upgrade it only lists the ones that it knows needs upgrading (due to a previous apt-get update)
[12:52] <geirha> irc-5225225: awk '{sub(/_.*/,"",$2); print $2}' list.txt   to get just the package names

[13:00] <jamesweech> Hey i installed ubuntu on my chromebook (XFCE) but xchat is TINNY
[13:00] <jamesweech> *TINY
[13:01] <jamesweech> can someone help me resize it? your on what looks to me like 9dpi
[13:01] <irc-5225225> jamesweech: Do you mean all the fonts are really small?
[13:01] <jamesweech> irc-5225225 I fixed all of them but xchat by the looks of it
[13:01] <jamesweech> irc-5225225 but yes 90% of them are tiny, i fixed most with xfce4-settings-manager
[13:01] <jamesweech> i just cant see xchat very well, ill screenshot it in a second
[13:02] <irc-5225225> jamesweech: I belive xchat uses it's own fonts in the settings menu, and settings-manager doesn't affect xchat for some reason
[13:02] <jamesweech> http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-11162013-010202pm.php
[13:02] <jamesweech> Oh thank you, i resized it to something bigger haha
[13:03] <jamesweech> i turned up the DPI but that just crippled it :P so i just changed it in the xchat settings, Why am i blind (oh wait its tiny)
[13:03] <duoi> holy crap that is one suspect looking image host
[13:03] <jamesweech> duoi: Sorry its built into XFCE
[13:03] <jamesweech> Thank you
[13:03] <irc-5225225> duoi: Isn't there an option to send to imgur?
[13:03] <Wsl> jamesweech,  alt + F8  will help
[13:04] <jamesweech> its only got the option upload to zimage
[13:04] <jamesweech> sorry about that
[13:04] <jamesweech> but its fixed now haha so dont worry
[13:04] <duoi> jamesweech: no i understand that much, i'm just questioning the reasoning of the developer lol
[13:04] <jamesweech> duoi: So am i, its all french also D:
[13:04] <pd0x\explodes> Hi, are there any good weather apps for ubuntu?  Hard to find one that I know I can trust.
[13:04] <jamesweech> pd0x\explodes Conky?
[13:04] <irc-5225225> duoi: Possibly it has an easier API than anything else?
[13:04] <irc-5225225> duoi: Even though imgur has a great api...
[13:04] <pd0x\explodes> Conky?
[13:05] <jamesweech> ah 1 sec i remembered reading something on omgubuntu
[13:05] <jamesweech> lemme find it :)
[13:05] <irc-5225225> pd0x\explodes: Conky is a system information tool, but you can make it display the weather.
[13:05] <jamesweech> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/gorgeous-new-weather-app-stormcloud-arrives-on-ubuntu
[13:05] <irc-5225225> as well as free disk space/ram/network usage...
[13:05] <pd0x\explodes> ahh
[13:05] <pd0x\explodes> hmm
[13:05] <duoi> irc-5225225 moreso the web address. contained with a subfolder with an awkward filename and php file extension
[13:05] <pd0x\explodes> thanks, I'll check it out
[13:05] <pd0x\explodes> easy to setup?
[13:06] <irc-5225225> pd0x\explodes: Conky or stormcloud?
[13:06] <jamesweech> duoi, Im on ARM linux so im kinda screwed for screenshot apps :P
[13:06] <pd0x\explodes> either ;)
[13:06] <Guest11064> who has free time
[13:06] <jamesweech> me :)
[13:06] <irc-5225225> Conky isn't very easy to set up, but it's a lot more configurable.
[13:06] <Ben64> !arm | jamesweech
[13:06] <irc-5225225> But if you don't really care, go with stormcloud.
[13:06] <jamesweech> I know haha i use it
[13:07] <jamesweech> Im on a ARM ubuntu install
[13:07] <jamesweech> on a chromebook
[13:07] <Guest11064> can you give me a hand
[13:07] <jamesweech> Sure guest
[13:07] <jamesweech> whast wrong
[13:07] <jamesweech> when i press TAB i get a comma after the name like: jamesweech, can i disable that? Sorry i dont use xchat much, normally IRSSI
[13:07] <Ben64> Guest11064: nobody knows until you ask
[13:07] <bekks> jamesweech: irssi has tab completion, too.
[13:07] <Guest11064> i want to print someting in c
[13:07]  * Wsl  a
[13:07] <jamesweech> bekks, I know but i didnt think it added , after then ame
[13:08] <jamesweech> *the name
[13:08] <duoi> jamesweech: you can always just print screen and CTRL+V into http://www.imgur.com. Once I found out you can paste directly into imgur instead of having to save the file and uploading it, i pretty much removed all dependence on the aforementioned archaic method or applications that facilitate the process.
[13:08] <irc-5225225> bekks: It's a : by default.
[13:08]  * Wsl  Much Enemies Less Friends .!.
[13:08] <jamesweech> I will in feature :) duoi
[13:08] <bekks> jamesweech: thats configurable in xchat.
[13:08] <cooljay1983> hello all
[13:08] <jamesweech> bekks: I better look harder :)
[13:08] <pd0x\explodes> hmm
[13:08] <jamesweech> cooljay1983: print ("Hello world")
[13:08] <irc-5225225> jamesweech: I belive : is the most common, I haven't really seen a comma.
[13:08] <pd0x\explodes> can not access PPA...blah blah URL...blah..please check your internet connection
[13:09] <pd0x\explodes> that's for Stormcloud
[13:09] <cooljay1983> iam new to all this linux ubuntu
[13:09] <bekks> pd0x\explodes: Then contact the maintainer - basically PPA arent supported in here.
[13:09] <cooljay1983> only installed yesterday
[13:09] <jamesweech> cooljay1983: Any questions?
[13:09] <jamesweech> irc-5225225: how odd :P Ill dig around,
[13:09] <cooljay1983> james i been googling what i need
[13:09] <jamesweech> Good :)
[13:09] <jamesweech> We always encourage that
[13:09] <cooljay1983> its lot more complicated then windows but seems alot better
[13:10] <gvo> jamesweech: You answered Guest....'s question, but sent it to cooljay
[13:10] <bekks> cooljay1983: Windows was complicated too back when you learned it.
[13:10] <sandeepr> attempting preseed install of 12.04
[13:10] <pd0x\explodes> bekks, k, thanks
[13:10] <jamesweech> gvo: Sorry, i need to sort out things on this xchat so im not concentrating :)
[13:10] <cooljay1983> erm not really windows does everything for you
[13:10] <sandeepr> tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ubuntu-desktop, this line does not seem to have any effect
[13:11] <sandeepr> as it gives cli only
[13:11] <jamesweech> Got my tab fixed thanks :)
[13:11] <jamesweech> sandeepr: How are you installing ubuntu?
[13:11] <jamesweech> sandeepr: Ubuntu server? Ubuntu desktop? etc
[13:11] <sandeepr> jamesweech, ubuntu server
[13:11] <cooljay1983> the command prompt is loads easier too but linux seems alot secuier and seems you can do hell of a lot more
[13:11] <cooljay1983> cant wait to learn it all
[13:12] <cooljay1983> looked on wiki and been learning the terminal commands
[13:12] <sandeepr> jamesweech, i tried ubuntu-desktop. it did not give me the option to hit f6 where i can pass the kernel params
[13:12] <jamesweech> sandeepr: Which desktop environment do you want?
[13:12] <sandeepr> jamesweech, so i used ubuntu-server
[13:13] <sandeepr> jamesweech, unity
[13:13] <Ben64> cooljay1983: do you have a problem with ubuntu? this isn't a chat channel. there is #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion
[13:13] <cooljay1983> thats the one iam using ubuntu desktop
[13:13] <jamesweech> sandeepr: Ok: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[13:14] <sandeepr> jamesweech, i did like to automate it via the preseed file
[13:14] <Guest11064> who know  c language
[13:14] <bekks> Guest11064: The c language channel.
[13:14] <gvo> Guest11064: You may have more success at ##c
[13:18] <gvo> Got very quiet all of a sudden.
[13:18] <compdoc> we're afraid of you
[13:18] <gvo> Oh sure.
[13:19] <plexaglazz> So there is a channel for C-programing?
[13:19]  * compdoc runs for his life
[13:19] <gvo> plexaglazz: Yes ##c
[13:19] <plexaglazz> Many people over there?
[13:19] <gvo> 400+ right now
[13:19] <plexaglazz> Nice!! :)
[13:19] <Guest11064> no body  repond me
[13:19] <bekks> Guest11064: Because this is not a c language channel. :)
[13:20] <gvo> Guest11064 I answered you
[13:20] <plexaglazz> It's not?
[13:20] <jamesweech> Its the ubuntu channel :)
[13:20] <plexaglazz> But you just said i was a C-channel..
[13:20] <plexaglazz> Are you drunk?
[13:20] <plexaglazz> ;)
[13:21] <gvo> plexaglazz: I think you are.  I said the c channel is ##c
[13:21] <plexaglazz> gvo: not you.

[13:28] <jamesweech> Anyway i g2g :) Hope all is wel
[13:28] <jamesweech> *well
[13:30] <Lupus> Anyone actually fucking help in here?
[13:30] <k1l_> Lupus: please dont swear in here. we are all volunteers.
[13:30] <IdleOne> Not with that sort of language
[13:30] <gvo> +1
[13:30] <Lupus> Yes, well - also checking some humans still exist in here
[13:31] <Lupus> And forgive my frustratiob
[13:31] <Lupus> I have exams tomorrow
[13:31] <Lupus> And i can't see my notes
[13:31] <Lupus> So apologies.
[13:31] <bruno_> scheda bluetooth non rilevata ubuntu
[13:31] <k1l_> you could put into a pastebin what commands you tried and what errors came up
[13:32] <gvo> Lupus did you use cvt to generate a modeline?
[13:32] <Lupus> Gvo, yes, BadName error
[13:32] <gvo> From cvt?
[13:33] <Lupus> From the modeline generated by cvt
[13:33] <Lupus> Used in xrandr
[13:33] <ctcb> printing os.path.realpath(__file__) gives me the Folder Hiarchy Name(s) with FILENAME.py on the end, how do change that so it gives me the Folder Hiarchy Name(s) without it?
[13:33] <gvo> Make sure you have it formatted properly.  Can't just ccopy and paste.
[13:33] <Lupus> Why not? Formatting different?
[13:34] <gvo> cvt puts out more info than xrandr wants/needs/
[13:34] <Lupus> Where to cut?
[13:34] <gvo> Pastbin what youve tried as k1l_ suggested
[13:34] <Lupus> The wiki copy pastes, i will do
[13:36] <ctcb> Like right now, printing os.path.realpath(__file__) gives me "/home/ctcb/Dev/Projects/SAGE/SAGE.py", instead I wish it to give me "/home/ctcb/Dev/Projects/SAGE/" so I can dynamically search from it.
[13:37] <Lupus> Paste.ubuntu.com/6426320
[13:37] <Lupus> Thank you
[13:37] <Lupus> Sorry for before
[13:37] <Lupus> Very stressed.
[13:37] <FloodBot1> Lupus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:37] <Lupus> Sorry FlobBot1 ;)
[13:38] <Lupus> *Floodbot
[13:38] <Lupus> Pastebin posted above
[13:39] <gvo> Lupus: Try changing the name to something simple.
[13:39] <Lupus> Will change to "a"
[13:39] <gvo> 1360x768_60.00 to x1260 or something   a is OK
[13:39] <gvo> On the xrandr line, of course.
[13:41] <Lupus> Same error
[13:42] <gvo> Do you have arandr available?
[13:42] <Lupus> No, i shall install
[13:42] <gvo> Just another option.
[13:43] <Lupus> Unable to fetch archives
[13:43] <Lupus> Running off phone wifi, internet down atm.
[13:44] <Lupus> Regrying
[13:45] <gvo> Lupus: Just for the heck of it, try the next step, the xrandr --addmode ...
[13:45] <Lupus> From the wiki?
[13:47] <Lupus> Cant add mode to lvds 1
[13:48] <gvo> Lupus: the more I read, the more I think this is a font issue.
[13:48] <Lupus> Can add to vga, dissconne ted
[13:48] <gvo> Lupus: As the error message seems to indicate and has nothing to do with xrandr directly.
[13:48] <Lupus> It was fine yesterday
[13:48] <Lupus> Updated
[13:48] <Lupus> Then this
[13:49] <Lupus> Good *bleep*ing timing, ubuntu
[13:49] <Rallias> How do I figure out why my network bridge's main interface is getting thrown into disabled state?
[13:49] <gvo> Lupus: Dunno.
[13:49] <Lupus> How can i change the font...
[13:50] <Lupus> Or shd i reinstall
[13:50] <Lupus> Can you refresh
[13:50] <andre> Hi! I installed Ubuntu 13.10 along with Windows 8.1 but GRUB doesn't appear at initialization. Can you help me? UEFI and Legacy mode are disabled in the BIOS.
[13:50] <Nightwalkerkg> Hey,is there a way to install ubuntu alongside windows without a cd or flash drive. I want to install Ubuntu 12.04
[13:50] <Nightwalkerkg> I can't use wubi because if have uefi bios.
[13:50] <Lupus> Nightwalkerkg - make a live USB
[13:50] <Lupus> instructions on wiki
[13:51] <gvo> Lupus Try reinstalling fonts, I guess but your guess is as good as mine.
[13:51] <Lupus> Kjcbsihbdfkdfuhbskdufhvvsdkfugvvdkfugvdskufgsvdlichavdcohsbdofjbsdifnd
[13:51] <Lupus> Not what i wanted to hear, thanks anyway mate
[13:51] <gvo> sorry
[13:51] <Lupus> It was fine literally a day agao
[13:51] <Lupus> Dw
[13:52] <Nach0z> Nightwalkerkg: if you're a bad@$$ you can try dd'ing the ubuntu installer ISO to a new partition on your hard drive, and run the installer from there, and just remove it when the install's done
[13:52] <Lupus> Going to try restart with internet
[13:52] <Lupus> It happens to the bios as well...
[13:53] <Lupus> As in the GRUB loader is in weird resolution too - i dual boot win8 and salamander
[13:53] <Lupus> Even liveUSB boots to this res
[13:53] <Lupus> Wtf is going on...
[13:53] <patagonicus> Hi there. Trying to get the 32bit Binding of Isaac running on my 64bit Ubuntu 13.10. It complains about a missing libssl3.so and neither libssl1.0.0:i386 nor libssl0.9.8:i386 seem to fix that. Any ideas?
[13:53] <Rallias> Nightwalkerkg, If you use an EFI bootloader, you can modify the bootloader to add grub and have grub boot the mini.iso file.
[13:53] <Lupus> Thanks gvo, im leabing now
[13:54] <Rallias> patagonicus, Are you running the version out of humble bundle?
[13:54] <patagonicus> Rallias: I bought it on the Humble Store yesterday, I'm guessing its the same version. No swf version for download, though, only 32bit executables.
[13:55] <Rallias> patagonicus, Do they still offer the ubuntu-store links?
[13:55] <Danato> guys did anybody try to download and install the image of ubuntu 13.10 from ubuntu website?
[13:56] <patagonicus> Rallias: I don't see any links, just steam key (which I activated before seeing that the Linux version isn't on Steam) and direct downloads.
[13:56] <Danato> because I tried to install it on a vm on 2 computers and im getting a weird error
[13:56] <patagonicus> brb
[13:57] <Danato> it says "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU
[13:58] <Rallias> patagonicus, Did it give you a .deb to install?
[13:59] <Rallias> I appologize if this sounds messy... I know there's way too many different distribution methods for humble bundle and it's a complete and utter mess.
[14:00] <Eagleman> Why can i access other people's samba shares, i am currently in these groups: user01 : user01 adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare media libvirtd
[14:03] <compdoc> other people's samba shares?
[14:04] <compdoc> on other PCs?
[14:04] <Eagleman> compdoc on the same server
[14:05] <valderrama> hy
[14:05] <xsky> hi
[14:05] <valderrama> !list
[14:06] <compdoc> Eagleman, youre trying to access them over the LAN?
[14:06] <Eagleman> yes compdoc
[14:06] <ziluc> Hi all !!
[14:07] <xsky> hehe
[14:07] <hedkandi> hello
[14:07] <ziluc> Hi!!!
[14:07] <hedkandi> I have a problem with installing libnss3
[14:08] <hedkandi> on ubuntu 12.04.3
[14:08] <irc-5225225> /buffer 3
[14:08] <Eagleman> compdoc here is some more information: http://lpaste.net/1131872995170582528
[14:08] <hedkandi> it looks like it's trying to install libnss3 version 11 and version 12 is the only one in the repository so it fails
[14:09] <hedkandi> how can I get an old version of libnss3?
[14:09] <andre> Hi! I will install Ubuntu 13.10 along with Windowss 8.1. If after I install Ubuntu 13.10 I install GRUB, GRUB will appear with this 2 OS options at initialization?
[14:09] <hedkandi> are there different repositories for 12.04.1, 12.04.2 and 3?
[14:09] <krz> after downloading. where should i normally keep files like this: http://aws.amazon.com/code/6752709412171743
[14:09] <krz> its a command line tool
[14:09] <krz> but where is a good place to store it?
[14:10] <krz> in /lib?
[14:10] <krz> in /etc?
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | andre
[14:11] <compdoc> Eagleman, has your username been created on the server? also, there are permissions on the directories themselves
[14:11] <Eagleman> compdoc here is some more information: http://lpaste.net/1131872995170582528
[14:11] <Eagleman> about the directories and smb.conf
[14:12] <krz> well?
[14:12] <lotuspsychje> someone knows anti-steal software for latops on ubuntu? like email notfication at boot or something
[14:13] <krz> in ~ ?
[14:14] <compdoc> Eagleman, guess I dont understand why there are links to the directories
[14:14] <krz> where do CLI executables normally get stored???
[14:14] <Eagleman> compdoc well i dont think that can be the problem
[14:15] <lotuspsychje> !patience | krz
[14:15] <krz> is it fine to create it in /usr/local?
[14:15] <xsky> a blog app write in C++ https://github.com/0xsky/xblog
[14:16] <lotuspsychje> !info prey
[14:17] <compdoc> Eagleman, do you know that "write list = @jrpoot" means the group jrpoot?
[14:17] <Eagleman> compdoc but the user robin is not in the group jrpoot, so why can robin access the jrpoot folder?
[14:18] <gvo> krz normally in /usr/local/bin
[14:18] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje. seems that tutorial needs some updating to include machines using UEFI instead of the older BIOS
[14:18] <patagonicus> Rallias: Yep, .tar.gz with a single file, rpm I haven't looked at + 64bit and 32bit deb. However, the debs only contain a 32bit executable and some desktop files and depend on ia32-libs which doesn't exist anymore.
[14:18] <Danato> what kind of setting on virtualbox can cause it to detect my CPU as i686 instead of x64???
[14:18] <compdoc> robin is in sambashare
[14:18] <Eagleman> compdoc what does sambashare do?
[14:18] <Rallias> patagonicus, Try installing the 32-bit deb and do an apt-get -f install
[14:18] <compdoc> seems a little convoluted to me
[14:18] <ziluc> Hi all, i've installed ubuntu 13.12 and now my pc is booting correctly, why?
[14:18] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: yes i know, but his question was more to know if grub would show both Os
[14:19] <krz> how do i know which version of python i have installed
[14:19] <Rallias> ziluc, You mean 13.10?
[14:19] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: i also tryed to submit new trigger info, but never been fixxed..
[14:19] <ziluc> Rallias: of course, sorry
[14:20] <xangua> ziluc: congrats
[14:20] <patagonicus> Rallias: That did pull in some additional libs (pango, xft), but no ssl. Same error message.
[14:20] <Danato> huh has anybody here tried to install ubuntu on virtualbox?
[14:20] <Rallias> Danato, Do you have it set to Ubuntu or Ubuntu (64 bit)?
[14:21] <krz> when i do EXPORT. where does it store the config file again?
[14:21] <Danato> Rallias: are you talking about the vb settings?
[14:21] <Rallias> Danato, Yes.
[14:21] <krz> thanks gvo . i put it in /usr/local/aws/
[14:22] <compdoc> Eagleman, youre using older lines in smb.conf I think. heres one of mine:  http://lpaste.net/95754
[14:22] <Danato> Rallias: thats a great question, it answered everything :P thanks
[14:23] <compdoc> or use:    valid users = @groupname
[14:24] <compdoc> and of course the users need to exist on the server with matching passwords to the users connecting
[14:25] <msi> My server just got hacked, I can see ssh connection succesfull, anything I can do?
[14:25] <compdoc> dont open the ssh port to the world would be a good start
[14:26] <compdoc> and dont enable the root account
[14:26] <patagonicus> Use SSH-Keys and disable password auth.
[14:26] <makara> msi, download all your essential data and start again
[14:27] <compdoc> lol
[14:27] <k1l_> since you cant know what the "hacker" did make a fresh reinstall with new passwords and use key-login instead
[14:27] <lotuspsychje> msi: there is a tool for anti ssh intrusion, forget its name
[14:27] <makara> msi, i'm serious
[14:27] <makara> what's on your server?
[14:27] <buu> Hey, where are the xfce4 style "do this on startup" scripts stored?
[14:27] <BluesKaj> lotuspsychje. ok , thanks for trying
[14:28] <msi> the server is not booting anymore
[14:28] <buu> Like settings -> user login -> do on start
[14:28] <msi> missing filesystems
[14:28] <makara> msi, did you turn it off. You shouldn't turn off a compromised system
[14:28] <msi> it rebooted
[14:28] <k1l_> msi: make a new install
[14:29] <lotuspsychje> !info denyhosts | msi
[14:29] <compdoc> fail2ban
[14:30] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: tnx, didnt know about that one
[14:30] <msi> yeah but it happend from inside my local network
[14:30] <msi> looks like it came from the wifi
[14:30] <compdoc> thats not good
[14:30] <makara> msi, http://askubuntu.com/questions/151440/important-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-server
[14:31] <lotuspsychje> msi: snort and rkhunter might help you aswell
[14:31] <compdoc> if you run mysql, you should run mysql_secure_installation too
[14:31] <ubuntuaddicted> i am trying to unmount a USB ext HDD but it says it's busy. I tried running lsof but it doesn't show what's accessing it. How else can find out what's accessing it so I stop that to unmount the drive?
[14:32] <lotuspsychje> ubuntuaddicted: did you transfer files to it?
[14:32] <makara> msi, that's for next time. What stage are you at now?
[14:32] <msi> stage?
[14:33] <patagonicus> Argh, libssl is part of libnss3. *sigh*
[14:33] <makara> msi, disconnect hacker > make alternative server arrangements > backup data > investigate how he got in > ...
[14:34] <ubuntuaddicted> lotuspsychje, not recently
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> ubuntuaddicted  fuser -m [mountpoint]
[14:35] <makara> > chat with friends on irc
[14:35] <ubuntuaddicted> MonkeyDust, returns nothing
[14:35] <compdoc> makara had a point - once someone logs in, they can install anything and gain access again later
[14:35] <lotuspsychje> hmm seems like the package 'prey' uses webbased to track devices, any other anti-theft packages for ubuntu?
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> ubuntuaddicted  try with sudo
[14:35] <patagonicus> Well, now Binding of Isaac starts but I have no sound. :/
[14:36] <jost> Is there a way to give certain files execution permissions on an NTFS file system, even if the global permissions on that partition are set to 0644?
[14:36] <jost> Or do I need to change the permissions for the whole file system and then remount it?
[14:36] <ubuntuaddicted> MonkeyDust, nothing still
[14:36] <msi> makara, just wiping the drives right now, 3 passees
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> jost, ubuntu on ntfs?
[14:37] <ubuntuaddicted> normally it's a recording disk for mythtv but i stopped mythtv
[14:37] <ubuntuaddicted> it's also a backup drive for some database's but the backups arent scheduled to run anymore for the day
[14:37] <jost> MonkeyDust: one partition on NTFS... and on that partition there is a git repo that does not execute its commit-hook since it has 0644 permissions
[14:37] <patagonicus> ubuntuaddicted: NFS share, maybe? Those are not listed in fuser, I think.
[14:39] <impradeepy> ubuntuaddicted post ur  ls -l /media
[14:39] <danes123> hello, the instructions to install ubuntu in tablet tf700 have broken links https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/tf700t. Are developers aware of this? Are there new instructions to install ubuntu on the transformer 700 tablet?
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> !touch | danes123
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> jost  "NTFS doesn't support the execute permission because it's designed for Windows, which doesn't have the same concept of "executable" files as Linux does."
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> exe's are scary
[14:40] <impradeepy> ??
[14:41] <moppy> impradeepy, It's part of his religion. Their holy book disapproves of exes
[14:41] <MonkeyDust> religion is scary ;)
[14:41] <impradeepy> hmm
[14:41] <impradeepy> no comments
[14:41] <jost> MonkeyDust: Ok, I'll just remount the whole file system with 744... don't like it that every single file is deemed executable, but if thats what it takes... :(
[14:42] <impradeepy> i just wanna see rwx permissions thats i
[14:42] <impradeepy> it
[14:42] <ctcb> printing os.path.realpath(__file__) or using it as a variable gives me the Folder Hiarchy Name(s) with FILENAME.py on the end, how do change that so it gives me the Folder Hiarchy Name(s) without it? Like right now, os.path.realpath(__file__) gives me "/home/ctcb/Dev/Projects/SAGE/SAGE.py", instead I wish it to give me "/home/ctcb/Dev/Projects/SAGE/" so I can dynamically search from it.
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> jost  or backup, change ntfs to ext4
[14:43] <moppy> jost, you can do posix permissions on ntfs but it is hard to set up
[14:43] <ubuntuaddicted> patagonicus, yeap, duh me. that must be it
[14:43] <mzaza> I am writing a c++ program which calls a shell command and execute it with arguments. I use the command system("top"), how can I send a variable as an attribute to the commands. For example, system("ls -variable)?
[14:43] <ubuntuaddicted> patagonicus, thanks!
[14:43] <moppy> jost i think there is something you need? ntfs-4g? google will know. but it can do permissions on ntfs. it's just a pain
[14:43] <mzaza> while variable is defined as string in my c++ code
[14:44] <lecoeus> ctcb: os.path.dirname
[14:44] <jost> MonkeyDust: moppy: I think I'll change to ext4 sometime, and then use a third party driver to access that partition from windows... Planned that already, but was to lazy to actually do that
[14:45] <dustinspringman> 13.10, second monitor is showing as "connected" in xrandr, but.... I get no video.. I've googled for days.. not sure what to look at next.. xrandr --output --cmd does nothing..

[15:01] <jackarg> Hi, i'd like some help concerning playing dvds on an old mac mini that I rebooted with linux. I managed to have players like totem recognize it, but now for every player there's an error. Totem says: "totem cannot play this type of media (dvd) because it does not have the appropriate plugins to be able to read from disc"
[15:01] <widad> moppy, i want to read oraly not just reading  by myself
[15:01] <moppy> widad you want text-to-speech?
[15:01] <widad> moppy, yes
[15:02] <bunduru> hello
[15:02] <moppy> widid i dont know: you might have to extract the text first? anyway if google "TTS" and "text to speech" that might work. Those 2 phrases are the specific name of the thing you're after
[15:03] <jackarg> vlc says " DVDRead could not read block x" with x being a different value, usually 0, 2, and so on. any help? (this happens when playing a dvd)
[15:04] <moppy> jackarg, did you load the multimedia restricted codecs, etc? is this 13.10?
[15:04] <lecoeus> widad: okular has text-to-speech but i don't think it supports other languages
[15:04] <lecoeus> though it just might
[15:04] <lecoeus> other than that, pdftotext pdffile.pdf | whatever your favorite text to speech program
[15:05] <jackarg> moppy, i installed everything, yea. dunno about loading though? No, this is a distro called peppermint, and it's completely based on 12.04. I know I should go to peppermint irc but i'm sure people can find a solution here too...
[15:06] <IdleOne> jackarg: actually, no. you should ask the peppermint channel. We don't know what they changed or didn't.
[15:06] <lecoeus> jackarg: are you sure dvd is not damaged?
[15:06] <bunduru> i'm having some problems with ubuntu the computer never shuts downs, searched about this, no workaround worked so far
[15:06] <vibhavp> /part
[15:06] <vibhavp> oops
[15:07] <jackarg> IdleOne, I've tried and peppermint NEVER answers. lecoeus it's not, I've tried with 3
[15:07] <moppy> bunduru, at what point does it hang?
[15:08] <IdleOne> jackarg: that doesn't make it ok to come here asking about a distro we don't support. Please use their support channel/forums.
[15:08] <bunduru> and my wireless interface was acting a bit crazy don't know if it has anything to do with that, yesterday i was able to connect normally and today it wouldn't connect but now it is working
[15:08] <moppy> jackarg, 12.04 used to use medibuntu, i dont know what the current status of that is. i known libdvdcss went to videolan
[15:08] <BluesKaj> bunduru open a terminal and run sudo halt , to shut your machine down
[15:08] <bunduru> moppy, at the splash
[15:09] <bunduru> i have to hold the power button down to completely power down
[15:09] <moppy> bunduru, press Escape to cancel it.s ee if there is an error displaued
[15:09] <moppy> bunduru, i am guessing it's acpi but can't say for sure until there is some kind of error trace
[15:09] <jcrubino> how do I add add-apt-repository command to minimal install?
[15:10] <moppy> jcrubino, edit /etc/apt-sources i think. you;d hve to check the filename (with ls or something(
[15:10] <jackarg> moppy, yea I fixed this problem (thanks to people from this channel IdleOne) so I now have libdvdcss, at least I think so. Otherwise, could you or anyone else recommend a up to date distro that I can use to run XBMC? And remember this is an old mac, so lightweight if possible?
[15:10] <bunduru> BluesKaj, i would like to do it normally without cli
[15:10] <moppy> jcrubino, /etc/apt/sources.list, i think
[15:11] <IdleOne> jackarg: I'm happy you got the problem solved.
[15:11] <jcrubino> moppy: just to add the command?  Isn;t there a package I can apt-get install ?
[15:11] <moppy> jcrubino, sudo add-apt-repository?
[15:11] <bunduru> moppy, i think i recall there is no error.. last line is something like ...shutting down
[15:12] <jcrubino> moppy: yes
[15:12] <BluesKaj> bunduru. yes , but if needed you can use that command until the problem is fixed or goes away ,  updating and upgrading willl usually solve most annoying problems like yours
[15:12] <TheBoss> Hi there, new to irc and ubuntu. I just booted up my udoo :-)
[15:12] <moppy> udoo?
[15:12] <TheBoss> it's a raspberry like board
[15:13] <TheBoss> but more powerful and it packs an arduino too
[15:13] <moppy> ok, cool
[15:13] <TheBoss> i have a question about screen resolution, would this be the right channel
[15:13] <moppy> bunduru, have you tried 'sudo shutdown -H 0' .. it might be a small h
[15:14] <moppy> bunduru, also perhaps go down a runlevel and see if it shuts down from there. but really i think it's an acpi issue with the power management firmware
[15:14] <jcrubino> moppy sudo add-apt repository yields "unable to locate add-apt-repository" error
[15:14] <mzaza> lecoeus: http://ideone.com/uppZ0o
[15:14] <mzaza> lecoeus: Any C++ magic :D ?
[15:15] <jackarg> Let me just repeat: Can anyone recommend an light distro for an old mac mini that I can use XBMC with?
[15:15] <moppy> jcrubino, i dunno what's broken, i would just add repos manually to etc/apt/sources.list
[15:16] <guest324234> trying to login, but see 'xinit: connection to x server lost' just after 'Loading extension AMDXVBA'.  i can create a second user account and there is not this issue.  suggestions?
[15:16] <bunduru> BluesKaj, from my search i saw people having these kind of issues since 2010, i've had ubuntu in this pc before and it did power down normally
[15:16] <lexx_koto> PowerPC Mac mini?
[15:17] <BluesKaj> bunduru. have you updated and upgraded lately ?
[15:17] <bunduru> moppy, from cli the command poweroff that i usually use doesn't only the "halt -something" does
[15:18] <jcrubino> moppy: for future refefernce its the base ubuntu install from docker
[15:18] <bunduru> BluesKaj, yes i did, but after i ended up re-installing ubuntu
[15:18] <jcrubino> moppy: I think its the add-apt-repository command is not on the minimal ubuntu images and I just do not know what package it is in
[15:21] <tahitibob> salut
[15:21] <ubuntuaddicted> when I plug in an android tablet into my xubuntu machine, nothing happens. nothing even appears in dmesg. is there some packages I need to install to interface with it?
[15:22] <lecoeus> mzaza: hey
[15:23] <guest324234> what is the name of the application/service that should be disabled in ubuntu to increase security, i'd recognize the name
[15:23] <lecoeus> it seems system function wants old fashioned char arrays whereas the string of c++ is basically a class of its own just typedef'd
[15:23] <guest324234> for networking
[15:23] <mzaza> lecoeus: This is the C++ code, working fine
[15:23] <mzaza> lecoeus: http://pastebin.com/LjfA66XX
[15:23] <bunduru> BluesKaj, so i guess that could be something wrong with Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
[15:23] <lecoeus> try using not using strings
[15:23] <mzaza> lecoeus: This is the shell code, not working fine :D http://pastebin.com/th1u3x88
[15:24] <GuybrushThreepwo> Does anyone here have experience with skype for linux?
[15:24] <lecoeus>  does system(command.c_str());  work?
[15:24] <Krenair> Hi. I'm trying to use system-config-printer to change a printer's colour mode. I right click on the printer, go to properties, Job Options, and under Other Options (Advanced) is 'print-color-mode' with a 'color'/'monochrome' dropdown
[15:25] <Krenair> however when I select monochrome and apply, exit the dialog and return to it, it's back to color
[15:26] <bunduru> moppy, it is a old computer, the poweroff command worked before now the halt command works, so why cant the gui do it :s
[15:27] <jajal> hhhh
[15:30]  * dewdude_ gives up
[15:32] <guest324234> what is the name of the network application/service that should be disabled in ubuntu to increase security, i'd recognize the name.  there's a file where one line needs to be commented out i think.  havent found this again on google
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> dewdude  give up what?
[15:33] <dewdude> I'm trying to set up a PPTP tunnel on my linux machine so I can get to my LAN from the internet
[15:33] <mohit> I am trying to install the drivers for Ralink RT5390 using the instructions found here -> http://pastebin.ca/2476543 but when i try to make , the result is an error shown here -> http://pastebin.ca/2476542 . I have figured out that the error is in pci_main_dev.c but I dont understand how to resolve it. Can someone help me
[15:33] <dewdude> so i can access file shares and sometimes get around lousy routing on public Wifi
[15:33] <vibhavp> 2h left :(
[15:33] <dewdude> but i can't seem to get pptpd to work; i just need to spend a few hours reading on what's involved
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> dewdude  pptp, that's also related to pxe, wait

[15:34] <bunduru> so guys  it can only be done from the cli?!
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> dewdude  is this useful? not exactly what you want, but maybe it helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer
[15:35] <SchrodingersScat> dewdude: pptpd was the easiest for me to setup, I think there is a ubuntu setup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PPTPServer
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> dewdude  sorry, wrong link
[15:37] <bunduru> brb
[15:37] <SchrodingersScat> dewdude: and by "restart your server" i THINK they mean 'service pptpd restart' I don't think they mean full server reboot :/
[15:37] <dewdude> i realize that

[15:39] <ironfoot495> Hello everyone I need help figuring out how to install and use utorrent. IU just can't seem to understand the concept???
[15:39] <ironfoot495> I have a ubuntu 12.04.3
[15:39] <SchrodingersScat> ironfoot495: I think you misspelled rtorrent
[15:40] <ironfoot495> SchrodingersScat: is it rtorrent I've been trying utorrent?
[15:41] <SchrodingersScat> ironfoot495: ok, I see that utorrent has a server for ubuntu, what concept aren't you getting?
[15:42] <ironfoot495> SchrodingersScat: Itried using it and I can't get a single movie?
[15:42] <jajal> test
[15:43] <ironfoot495> SchrodingersScat: I foollowed an instaslltion example and now all I have is a big mess. Is there away that is simple?
[15:44] <ironfoot495> or less messy I have files everyehere now that just don't work.
[15:44] <SchrodingersScat> ironfoot495: that's why I recommended something with freedom.
[15:44] <lecoeus> ironfoot495: did you install it with apt-get?
[15:44] <ironfoot495> lecoeus: yes I did.
[15:45] <lecoeus> ironfoot495: i have never used utorrent but it must work the same way as any other torrent client
[15:46] <lecoeus> did you use other clients?
[15:46] <DarthDepa> Hi guys :)
[15:46] <SchrodingersScat> lecoeus: I don't think he could have used apt, the site just has a tar.gz
[15:46] <ironfoot495> Well I've used bittorrent and I see something happening but I don't have control of it it just setsd there.
[15:47] <DarthDepa> I have an ASUS notebook... K53S series... I would like to optimize the use of battery!
[15:48] <wildwind> DarthDepa: use powertop
[15:48] <bunduru> back
[15:48] <ironfoot495> SchrodingersScat: yes I used the tat file and at first I got the gui but because it just sat there I deleted it and started over and now it doesn't work at all.
[15:49] <DarthDepa> wildwind: thanks :) I will check...
[15:49] <ironfoot495> tar file
[15:49] <DarthDepa> and why SUDO don't allow me to use TAB?
[15:49] <msi> Anyone who likes to get a free dlink router inside the usa feel free to text me and I will add your details onto the delivery list, it's a stock we need to get ride of in our company:<PHONE_NUMBER>
[15:49] <lecoeus> ironfoot495: it is usually better to use software from repositories
[15:50] <lecoeus> there must be many torrent clients in the software center like transmission
[15:50] <ironfoot495> lecoeus: ok I'll try that thanks.
[15:50] <SchrodingersScat> ironfoot495: Usage:  utserver -settingspath -logfile -configfile -pidfile -daemon -usage
[15:51] <DarthDepa> wildwind: with powertop I can see who use battery... and for optimization?
[15:53] <wildwind> DarthDepa: well it depends on who is it :)
[15:53] <bunduru> My computer doesn't power off from cli or gui, in addition to the workarounds which didn't work, i've tried the poweroff and halt commands but those won't power down the pc.
[15:56] <bunduru> any tips?
[15:56] <iderik> I dont understand how my harddrive is partitioned. Shouldnt /home be there? http://www.n0.se/f/f/24169_screenshotfrom2013-11-16165324.png
[15:56] <irc-5225225> iderik: /home doesn't need to be on a seperate partition.
[15:57] <DarthDepa> wildwind: ?
[15:57] <irc-5225225> it can be, but it's not required.
[15:57] <varunendra> DarthDepa, use left arrow key in powertop  to goto lasttab, then 'Enter' to set status of various settings to 'Good'
[15:58] <harushimo> quick question
[15:58] <harushimo> I want to be able write to my other hard drive
[15:58] <iderik> irc-5225225: ah ok. why cant i resize any partition? i wish to free some space.
[15:58] <harushimo> but when I look in my media directory on the terminal, it doesn't show up but I can see it on my devices list when I look into gui interface
[15:59] <wildwind> DarthDepa: i don't have much exp with power optimization. but let us see the powertop output.
[15:59] <irc-5225225> iderik: You can't resize a partition that is in use by the system.
[15:59] <harushimo> do I keep it mounted
[15:59] <irc-5225225> iderik: If you have a live usb/cd, you can resize when booting from that.
[16:01] <nightwalkerkg> Hi,i am runing Ubuntu 13.10 and Firefox,when i open it it gives me a message that i need to install flesh,when i click install it opens a new windows and tells me that there are no plugins to be installed. But when i open a video on youtube it works. Also,animations are kinda lagy,i really want to avoid installing any drivers for GPU,i had some problems in the past with them. There are three options in additional drivers. Is th
[16:01] <nightwalkerkg> have to install drivers.
[16:01] <varunendra> harushimo, no partition will show up in /media until mounted.
[16:02] <harushimo> that is what I thought
[16:02] <irc-5225225> nightwalkerkg: On youtube, it might be using the HTLM5 player.
[16:02] <harushimo> thank you
[16:02] <irc-5225225> *html5
[16:02] <iderik> irc-5225225: hmm, ok. thanks for the help!
[16:02] <varunendra> np :)
[16:02] <nikolam_> hi, Skype is saying to me: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
[16:02] <nikolam_> I would like to use camera with skype
[16:02] <GuybrushThreepwo> Does anyone here have experience with skype for linux? I'm having trouble accessing my past conversation history, since it seems to disappear unlike windows
[16:03] <nikolam_> I loaded skype like this before: #!/bin/bash
[16:03] <nikolam_> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
[16:03] <nikolam_> and it used to work
[16:03] <nikolam_> and now not
[16:03] <harushimo> I have the drive mounted but I want to keep it mounted and be able to write data to that drive
[16:03] <nightwalkerkg> irc-5225225: Yeah i thought of that. So should i install restricted ?
[16:04] <lecoeus> nikolam_: i don't know the answer to your question, but why do you preload stuff in the first place?
[16:04] <varunendra> harushimo, then you need to add an 'fstab' entry for the partition.
[16:04] <nikolam_> lecoeus, to be able to use web cam?
[16:04] <DarthDepa> varunendra: done ;) thanks
[16:04] <lachitha> help me solve my wifi problem
[16:04] <nikolam_> It used to be only way to use web cam with skype before
[16:05] <harushimo> I was trying to avoid fstab if possible
[16:05] <harushimo> alright
[16:05] <harushimo> I need to back up my settings and then I can mess around that file
[16:05] <lecoeus> nikolam_: skype works without ld_preload for most people
[16:05] <irc-5225225> harushimo: what's wrong with fstab?
[16:05] <wildwind> harushimo: you can have it auto-mounted by adding a line to /etc/fstab. btw what fs is on that drive?
[16:05] <varunendra> !fstab | harushimo
[16:05] <lecoeus> but maybe that library you are trying to preload got moved due to an update
[16:06] <nikolam_> lecoeus, oh, if that is new behaviour
[16:06] <harushimo> wildwind: ext4
[16:06] <lecoeus> nikolam_: it's not new, maybe you had an exceptional situational with your webcam
[16:06] <syrious> Is there an easy sudo command for installing utorrent in 13.10??
[16:07] <nikolam_> dunno, it is Bus 002 Device 003: ID 093a:2608 Pixart Imaging, Inc. PAC7311 Trust WB-3300p webcam
[16:07] <bekks> syrious: sudo apt-get install utorrent
[16:07] <syrious> bekks: tried that, returned that it couldn't find the file
[16:07] <wildwind> harushimo: then why it's not in fstab already? :) is it external drive?
[16:07] <bekks> syrious: then utorrent isnt in the official repos.
[16:08] <harushimo> no its not external
[16:08] <harushimo> its an internal drive
[16:08] <nikolam_> I needed to rotate video, btw in v4l2ucp
[16:08] <bekks> harushimo: Then it belongs to fstab
[16:08] <lecoeus> nikolam_: try running it without preloading
[16:08] <harushimo> i know
[16:08] <nikolam_> lecoeus, same.
[16:08] <harushimo> before I do that, I have another question for all of you
[16:08] <lecoeus> nikolam_: if that doesn't work, try finding the library in the same directory
[16:09] <harushimo> why does my second hard drive show up like this 1b477a91-8d58-4de0-8bd9-e72cc618a168 in my media directory
[16:09] <varunendra> syrious, last time I tried utorrent on Ubuntu, I found it to be too CPU intensive. You should try a native solution
[16:09] <bekks> harushimo: Because thats the UUID of the filesystem on your drive.
[16:09] <varunendra> harushimo, because you haven't assigned it a 'LABEL'
[16:09] <syrious> bekks: fair. figured I'd give it a shot at lease
[16:09] <harushimo> I used UUID and associated with an label
[16:10] <harushimo> that goes in the fstab correct?
[16:10] <wildwind> i connect to the internet via openvpn over ppp (3G usb modem). sometimes 3g gets stalled and i have to physically disconnect and reconnect the modem. then i have to wait for ppp to go up and restart openvpn client. to automate the last part, i put a script with "pkill -USR1 openvpn" in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d. it works. here comes my question: is it the good way to do it? do i miss some drawbacks?
[16:10] <syrious> varunendra: any suggestions?
[16:11] <varunendra> syrious, I personally use ktorrent. Not as advanced as utorrent, but works for me
[16:11] <mazda01> switching to a larger hdd. want to switch from msdos to gpt, what's the best way? was going to use clonezilla to clone the / and /home partitions to an image, then restore them to the new gpt partitions on the larger drive. will that work?
[16:11] <SchrodingersScat> syrious: I like rtorrent, but you can run `apt-cache search torrent.client | more` and get a list
[16:11] <varunendra> syrious, perhaps qtorrent is another (maybe better) option
[16:12] <varunendra> syrious, +1 to SchrodingersScat
[16:12] <lecoeus> syrious: transmission
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> deluge
[16:12] <lecoeus> it's basically the standard
[16:12] <BluesKaj> ktorr works well ,and no ads or constant reminders to go pro , syrious
[16:12] <BluesKaj> err ktorrent
[16:13] <harushimo> from that UUID, can I find out what drive is it associated with?
[16:14] <wildwind> harushimo: yes, with disk utility
[16:14] <varunendra> harushimo, UUIDs are supposed to be unique for different partitions, so yes, you can use 'sudo blkid' command to see which partition it is
[16:14] <krabador> i need to look the session listed on lightdm
[16:15] <krabador> at startup
[16:15] <krabador> how can i see them?
[16:15] <varunendra> harushimo, by 'label' in fstab, do you mean "Mount Point"?
[16:15] <krabador> what conf file?
[16:15] <krabador> i tryed /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[16:15] <krabador> but nothing
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> krabador  go to /usr/share/xsessions/
[16:15] <cWiden> Is there going to be a physical UDS for or around 14.04 ??
[16:16] <harushimo> no when I label, I mean what drive is associate like /dev/sdb or /dev/sda
[16:16] <krabador> MonkeyDust, i've the conf file?
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> krabador  it's a folder
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> harushimo  mount shows where each uuid is mounted
[16:16] <varunendra> harushimo, those are generic addresses, not 'labels'
[16:16] <harushimo> thank you for the correction
[16:17] <harushimo> if I'm misusing the terminology, please correct me
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> cWiden  questions about 14.04 in #ubuntu+1
[16:17] <cWiden> I athanx
[16:17] <jazzme> hello
[16:17] <cWiden> **thanx
[16:18] <nikolam_> lecoeus,
[16:18] <varunendra> harushimo, use Gparted to assign 'Labels' to partitions for easy recognition. But it doesn't matter if you are going to mount them via fstab. Once mounted, they appear by their mount point names
[16:18] <nikolam_> I fixed skype with Webcam with preloading /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
[16:18] <nikolam_> since it is 32-bit
[16:18] <lecoeus> so they moved the location of the library
[16:18] <lecoeus> happens sometimes
[16:19] <nikolam_> I also previously reinstalled libv4l-0
[16:19] <jazzme> I was wondering, after a while of inactivity xubuntu returns to the login screen, and after logging in all of my open apps are shutdown.  How can I prevent this?
[16:19] <nikolam_> well, I should change on local wiki
[16:19] <nikolam_> so people can actually use it..
[16:20] <mazda01> how many of you use GPT partitioning over the older msdos?
[16:20] <bunduru> Please can somebody help? My computer doesn't power down, from cli or gui, haven't found a workaround that works, i've tried the poweroff and halt commands but those won't power down the pc.
[16:21] <wheatthin> bunduru, sudo shutdown -h now
[16:21] <whoever> bunduru: you might beable to do shutdown now
[16:22] <bunduru> thanks wheatthin i'll try that brb then
[16:22] <whoever> bunduru: or just for fun shutdown -t 20
[16:22] <varunendra> !bootoptions | bunduru try various boot options, especially acpi related ones
[16:25] <ocooel> please point me to an article on Ask! or ubuntu forums for configuring and setting up conky.
[16:25] <wheatthin> ocooel, and what's your reasoning for this request? Unless you couldn't understand it.
[16:26] <wheatthin> ahh sorry
[16:26] <wheatthin> !conky | ocooel
[16:26] <ocooel> so I can learn how to set up conky without bothering you guys developing 14.04
[16:28] <bekks> ocooel: This channel is for ubuntu support ;)
[16:28] <wheatthin> :)
[16:28] <ocooel> whatthin: any articles on customizing 12.04 will be awesome. Ubuntu support and forums aren't exactly the easiest to navigate.
[16:28] <wheatthin> well I found a doc, but not from askubuntu
[16:28] <ocooel> bekks: help me set-up conky..?
[16:28] <wheatthin> but basically it just says 'sudo apt-get install conkywizard'
[16:29] <bekks> ocooel: Ask a specific question :)
[16:29] <joossee> ocooel, you can edit the xml files for many of the themese supported by 12.04, especially when running unity 2d
[16:29] <zykotick9> mazda01: i first used GPT to support a 3TB drive I bought - now, I try to use it on anything I can...  I like not having the 4 primary limit, having nice sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 ... instead of the big JUMP that came with extended/logical
[16:29] <bunduru> back
[16:29] <wheatthin> zykotick9, then use the GTP partitioning
[16:29] <wheatthin> GPT*
[16:30] <zykotick9> s/anything/anywhere/
[16:30] <bunduru> wheatthin, unfortunately it didn't work =/
[16:30] <OerHeks> ocooel, there is an forum with 1001+ conkyrc examples too > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865
[16:30] <wildwind> ocooel: i managed to set up conky with only the official docs. it's not that hard
[16:30] <wheatthin> bunduru, then my friend, I think (like others pointed out) you have an acpi problem.
[16:30] <zykotick9> !didntwork > bunduru my fav factoid ;)
[16:31] <ocooel> bekks: I want conky on my desktop with hardware usage etc. want to learn how I take default unity and turn it into what I want
[16:31] <bunduru> the pc is kind of old, but it worked fine with ubuntu before
[16:31] <zykotick9> !doesntwork > bunduru
[16:31] <ocooel> wildwind, where here..? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/index.html
[16:32] <bunduru> lol
[16:32] <wildwind> bunduru: try to revert to older kernel
[16:32] <wheatthin> !acpi
[16:32] <bunduru> i just installed ubuntu again
[16:32] <wildwind> ocooel: here: http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html
[16:33] <Jie> hey
[16:34] <bunduru> !nomodeset
[16:35] <wildwind> bunduru: try previous release. do you remember which release it worked ok with?
[16:36] <bunduru> varunendra, thanks i did try messing with those at least most workarounds i found were about that, editing grubconf
[16:36] <ocooel> wildwind, thanks
[16:36] <bunduru> no success though
[16:37] <WorldEmperor> no success?
[16:37] <WorldEmperor> try harder, slacker
[16:37] <wildwind> ocooel: you're welcome
[16:37] <bunduru> wildwind, i'm now with Ubuntu 12.04.3 it was the one before
[16:40] <mazda01> im trying to move my ubuntu install to a larger disk and not sure the best way to do it
[16:44] <whoever> hi all, are there system wide key shortcuts for vol-up , vol-down
[16:44] <bekks> mazda01: Backup everything, clone the disk to the larger one, enlarge the target partition, and enlarge the filesystems. Clonezilla can do all that but backing up.
[16:45] <ubuntuguru12> hiya
[16:45] <wheatthin> whoever, I believe each window manager will have their own set.
[16:46] <ubuntuguru12> unity is awesome
[16:47] <ubuntuguru12> i wish other distros wouild make it default
[16:49] <ubuntuguru12> slackware is based off ubuntu now
[16:49] <irc-5225225> ubuntuguru12: Unity doesn't really work on any other distros. Only fedora and arch have managed to get a basic port of it.
[16:49] <lecoeus> irc-5225225: he is trolling
[16:50] <irc-5225225> lecoeus: Oh, right. Guess I've seen too many people who would say that for real.
[16:50] <lecoeus> i don't think anybody would say that for real
[16:50] <ubuntuguru12> unity is nice. its better than kde
[16:51] <irc-5225225> to be honest, the blur effects on it are nice.
[16:51] <irc-5225225> it just seems like it's meant for a tablet, with all the buttons being quite big.
[16:51] <bunduru> eventually the gurus will fix this bug right?
[16:51] <lecoeus> unity has good sides, but kde is so obviously superior that it isn't even funny
[16:52] <mazda01> so no one can assist with moving ubuntu to a larger disk and or switching from msdos to gpt?
[16:52] <bekks> ubuntuguru12: slackware isnt based on Ubuntu at all, technically.
[16:52] <ubuntuguru12> kde looks like windows too much
[16:52] <bekks> mazda01: I just assisted you - did you get the post?
[16:52] <irc-5225225> ubuntuguru12: kde can be modified to be less like windows.
[16:52] <mazda01> bekks, i must have missed it, had to step away sorry
[16:52] <lecoeus> irc-5225225: seriously, he is just trolling
[16:52] <bekks> mazda01: Backup everything, clone the disk to the larger one, enlarge the target partition, and enlarge the filesystems. Clonezilla can do all that but backing up.
[16:53] <mazda01> bekks, ok, what does "clonezilla can do all that but backing up" mean?
[16:53] <ubuntuguru12> mazda, fdisk /mbr
[16:54] <Frito_Pendejo> slackware is based off ubuntu now?  link plz
[16:54] <mazda01> ubuntuguru12, huh?
[16:54] <Aaron> Frito_Pendejo, google it
[16:54] <Frito_Pendejo> did that
[16:54] <zykotick9> Frito_Pendejo: NO WAY slackware is based off ubuntu!
[16:54] <Frito_Pendejo> yik
[16:55] <jetski> how can I prevent grub boot loader from automatically starting ubuntu after 10 secs?
[16:55] <jetski> I have windows installed on it, and would like for it to just wait until I pick one
[16:55] <zykotick9> jetski: i believe setting the countdown to 0 will make grub just stay there.  /etc/default/grub and run update-grub after making the change.
[16:55] <ubuntuguru12> im sick of how of all these freeloaders take ubuntus work… like redhat.. fedora… opensue
[16:56] <ubuntuguru12> jetski, timeout=0
[16:57] <Aikar> I need help :/ I installed gnome- desktop on 13.04, and now im getting issues with initamfs-tools cant find cp: cannot stat ‘/modules/pango-basic-fc.so’: No such file or directory - + another, many seem to have ran into this but i see no solution. im worried if i reboot i wont be able to boot back in
[16:57] <nvs> does anyone has a virtualmachine with win 7 and visual studio inside in ubuntu?
[16:57] <nvs> is this possible?
[16:57] <ubuntuguru12> i wish redhat/fedora would quit stealing from ubuntu.
[16:57] <jetski> zykotick9, it automatically starts ubuntu for me, and if I had hibernated windows previously, that hibernation data gets messed up, so I want it to just wait
[16:58] <bekks> nvs: There is no technical reason for it being not possible.
[16:58] <lecoeus> nvs: it is possible
[16:58] <jetski> ubuntuguru12, is there a terminal command I can run to set timeout=0?
[16:58] <bekks> ubuntuguru12: Would you mind stop trolling please?
[16:58] <ubuntuguru12> vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
[16:58] <nvs> performance is good ? i havent tried that before
[16:59] <bekks> nvs: Depends on your hardware and the vm configuration.
[16:59] <zykotick9> jetski: you need to edit the file, then update-grub.  "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" is a terminal editor.
[16:59] <Frito_Pendejo> would be funny if slack was debian based now good one..
[16:59] <ubuntuguru12> bekks, would you stop trolling ?
[16:59] <Frito_Pendejo> u got me
[16:59] <bekks> ubuntuguru12: Ignore set. Have a good life.
[16:59] <nvs> what is a vm?
[16:59] <bekks> nvs: "virtual machine"
[16:59] <Aaron> virtual machine
[16:59] <DJones> !vm | nvs
[16:59] <nvs> im gonna go with the most popular
[17:00] <zykotick9> Frito_Pendejo: i don't use slackware, but it's one of the ONLY non-derivative distros left, why would you want to change that?  </OT>
[17:00] <ubuntuguru12> nvs: virtual mommy?
[17:00] <nvs> i think its virtual bo
[17:00] <bekks> nvs: Just use VirtualBox then.
[17:00] <Frito_Pendejo> zykotick9, hehe dunno i just clicked over to # and saw that :)
[17:00] <ubuntuguru12> nvs, all the elite hackers use boch
[17:00] <nvs> yeah but im not elite hacker
[17:01] <nvs> i just want it to run good and to be user friendly
[17:02] <bekks> nvs: It has nothing to do with hacking at all.
[17:03] <nvs> i just saw that i have to use win8 on the vm because i have vs 2013
[17:03] <nvs> isnt that too much for the vm? ive got 4 gigs of ram
[17:03] <bekks> nvs: You dont need W8 for it. It runs on W7 as well.
[17:03] <lecoeus> nvs: try going for xp
[17:04] <bekks> nvs: And you can create a VM with 2GB RAM.
[17:04] <nvs> i just googled it its not possible unfortunately with the new vs
[17:04] <Aikar> can someone please help me figure out this libpango issue, 13.04 seems to have same issue as 13.10 as here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pango1.0/+bug/1185300
[17:04] <Betal> nvs: VS2013 run in win7
[17:04] <jetski> zykotick9, thanks a ton, found the file and edited it, then ran sudo update-grub. Let's see what happens next time boot :)
[17:05] <nvs> i like 8 :) lol
[17:05] <nvs> and it supports the net framework 4.5
[17:05] <Aikar> found a thread, installing plymouth fixed it
[17:05] <bekks> nvs: "The next version is officially titled Visual Studio 2013 and is ... will require Windows 7 or higher matching the current VS2012 requirements."
[17:06] <nvs> but is it safe enough? do you use vms on your systems?
[17:06] <bekks> nvs: VS2K13 runs on W7.
[17:06] <Betal> nvs: win7 supports it too :)
[17:06] <Betal> nvs: net framework 4.5 and vs2013
[17:07] <Betal> nvs: vms = virtual machines?
[17:07] <porkman1> my ubuntu is running slow
[17:07] <nvs> yes
[17:07] <Betal> nvs: I user a lot :)
[17:07] <Betal> nvs: use*
[17:08] <porkman1> nvs: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[17:08] <nvs> 12.10
[17:08] <nvs> and i dont have any problem with it its running gr8
[17:08] <porkman1> ah
[17:08] <porkman1> i love unity
[17:08] <porkman1> just its slow
[17:09] <nvs> & i just learned the hard way not to install anything outside the software center ;p
[17:10] <bekks> nvs: The software center is basically just a GUI for apt-get and dpkg
[17:11] <porkman1> whats dpkg?
[17:11] <Betal> dpkg-*
[17:11] <WorldEmperor> debian package installer?
[17:11] <bekks> porkman1: The command line interface for your package management system.
[17:11] <nvs> i dont know i have crashed ubuntu at least 7 times and all those times i installed lenses i used the apt-get
[17:11] <porkman1> i dont want debian packages, i want ubuntu packages
[17:12] <bekks> porkman1: Ubuntu uses the debian package management system.
[17:12] <bekks> porkman1: Thats why Ubuntu packages have the .deb extension
[17:12] <nvs> so i decided not to install absolutely anything outside the software center  & i have my ubuntu live and well
[17:12] <porkman1> that doesnt make sense, but ok
[17:13] <bekks> porkman1: It makes perfectly sense, since Ubuntu is derived from Debian and Ubuntu didnt reinvent the wheel of a package management system.
[17:13] <Ari-Yang> porkman1: ubuntu is Debian-based
[17:13] <porkman1> silly question, but why not just use debian?
[17:14] <Ari-Yang> porkman1: why not use windows?
[17:14] <Ari-Yang> porkman1: why not use OSX?
[17:14] <LjL> because those aren't Debian-based?
[17:14] <wheatthin> it's a choice :P
[17:14] <porkman1> windows is debian based?
[17:14] <LjL> i think what porkman1 is asking is how Ubuntu differentiates itself from Debian
[17:15] <porkman1> i thought windows was made from Microsoft
[17:15] <wheatthin> the community, and distinct patches in which improves debian
[17:15] <LjL> porkman1: you might want to re-read what i said
[17:15] <rypervenche> porkman1: A lot of poeple do use Debian. But Ubuntu was made for a different reason.
[17:15] <porkman1> well.. i dont want to devert.
[17:15] <nvs> and just another thought.. what about the new bioshock? can i play it on ubuntu?
[17:16] <nvs> with wine or something?
[17:16] <Ari-Yang> porkman1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment
[17:16] <LjL> anyway, bottom line, the packaging system is the same as Debian. the actual *packages* may not be, and it's in general not safe to install a Debian package in Ubuntu, or vice versa.
[17:16] <bekks> nvs: You have to look that up on winehq
[17:16] <wheatthin> nvs, that has nothing to do with ubuntu, you might wanna look at wines compadibility list
[17:16] <Ari-Yang> porkman1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/ForDebianDevelopers?action=show&redirect=UbuntuForDebianDevelopers <--- read this

[17:20] <porkman1> how do i install an iso?  i want ot install some software from this iso i downloaded
[17:21] <wildwind> porkman1: burn it or mount it
[17:21] <LjL> porkman1: an ISO is an image of a disc, it can't be "installed".
[17:21] <porkman1> ah, doulbe clikc, i feel like a dumba—

[17:22] <porkman1> the darn menu keep s dispappearing to fast
[17:22] <evanvarvell> perhaps the disc image is an install disc?

[17:25] <zykotick9> evanvarvell: unetbootin
[17:25] <nvs> what version of windows do you have on your vm?
[17:25] <evanvarvell> ty
[17:25] <evanvarvell> rolling release i like too
[17:25] <bekks> nvs: That doesnt matter for a vm.
[17:26] <lecoeus> nvs: vms are resource-challenged, so go for the minimal that you can use
[17:26] <porkman1> ugh
[17:26] <lecoeus> nvs: i had actually messed with msconfig to disable services in the vm
[17:26] <madadam> ubottu, so the problem is unsolved?
[17:26] <nvs> i have only 4gigs of ram so id better stick with win7 then
[17:26] <porkman1> ubuntu did an update and it broke my gedit
[17:27] <porkman1> :/
[17:27] <zykotick9> madadam: ubottu is a (ro)Bot.  and the bug would say "fix released" (or similar) if it was fixed.
[17:27] <porkman1> bow gedit wont run
[17:27] <robert-lnx> Since cron jobs can be set up with  "----*" or @daily, why would one bother with cron.daily?  (I know this isn't technically distro specific, I hope that's ok)
[17:27] <nvs> i want it only to run visual studio to be honest
[17:27] <porkman1> now*
[17:27] <nvs> not gaming etc
[17:27] <madadam> zykotick9, ok
[17:27] <theadmin> nvs: I have Windows 8 on a Virtualbox, runs fine with 3 gigs of RAM
[17:27] <evanvarvell> reinstall gedit?
[17:28] <lecoeus> robert-lnx: is that the systemd target?
[17:28] <nvs> how long do you have it? is it stable enough? do you use it regularly?
[17:28] <evanvarvell> whats wrong with kate......or ......scribes?
[17:28] <lecoeus> kate is excellent
[17:28] <evanvarvell> how cabout nano?
[17:29] <theadmin> nvs: Yeah, I use it about... once a week?
[17:29] <theadmin> nvs: Works fine, all the apps I tried work pretty much
[17:29] <zykotick9> evanvarvell: learn a real text editor ;)  your choices are vi or emacs...
[17:30] <nvs> ive got a dual boot machine but if this works it seems a much better solution
[17:30] <lecoeus> vi is good but emacs is better
[17:30] <theadmin> zykotick9: You mean "vi xor emacs" :P
[17:30] <robert-lnx> lecoeus, I'm sorry, I don't understand, is what my target?
[17:30] <evanvarvell> why do you like vi as aposed to vim?
[17:30] <lecoeus> robert-lnx: i was asking if you were asking about systemd but it seems you weren't
[17:30] <zykotick9> lecoeus: no vi-emacs flame wars please - it's why i stated both (PS. i think you're wrong) ;)
[17:30] <porkman1> great. the update deleted my documents :/
[17:31] <zykotick9> theadmin: nice! (second for the day) ;)
[17:32] <evanvarvell> checking my documents.......

[17:39] <zykotick9> robert-lnx: sl is one of my default installed programs, i don't see it "that" often, but when I do - it's all alias'ed up, with all the bells 'n whistles - flying / flames and such ;)  no debian/ubuntu packages for gnaughty :( but doesn't look like a program i'd be interested in - but thanks for the suggestion!
[17:40] <lecoeus> zykotick9: strange they don't have a package for it in ubuntu
[17:40] <lecoeus> it's like an official gnome program
[17:43] <theadmin> lecoeus: It's not developed by the GNOME team.
[17:44] <lecoeus> theadmin: i was jesting
[17:47] <quatar__> Hello everyone! I came just to ask if with ubuntu 13.10 we finally have an answer to THE question: "If I come with a factory-installed windows laptop and want to have a working win+ubuntu dual boot, can I be 99% sure that the «install alongside» option plus, in case, «boot repair», will do the work safely?"
[17:48] <quatar__> well 96% will do anyway
[17:48] <theadmin> quatar__: Most of the time yes, but it's strongly recommended to disable secure boot, and the "fast startup" option in Windows.
[17:48] <linuxology> hi
[17:49] <theadmin> quatar__: Once that's done, you're good to go.
[17:49] <quatar__> theadmin: okay, noted. I will. Anyway is there an updated resource that list the tested manufacturer/laptop with ubuntu?
[17:49] <root> hi
[17:49] <linuxology> I've got one liner, to print ':)' or ':(' depending upon the exit status of previous command
[17:49] <linuxology> echo -e ":\\$(($??50:51))"
[17:49] <linuxology> doesn't work
[17:49] <Guest89739> hi all
[17:49] <linuxology> ?
[17:49] <Guest89739> gn
[17:50] <linuxology> spits out ':\51'....  I know I need \051 for it to print ')'
[17:50] <zykotick9> theadmin: not that i know ANYTHING about it, but won't disabling "secure boot" require windows to be reinstalled?
[17:50] <theadmin> quatar__: Hm. There was something along those lines on the wiki. Which laptop do you have?
[17:50] <theadmin> zykotick9: I don't think so, no. Switching to legacy mode would, though.

[17:52] <urielvigilant> On Lubuntu 13.10 browsing with Chromium if i download an excell sheet  and click on it on the right corner of the screen it open the FireFx windows ? This is not normal ! If i uninstall FireFOx it open with the Office Libre Cal that what i want. How to make this happen ?
[17:53] <urielvigilant> I want to open with Office Libre , but i dont want to uninstall firefox .
[17:53] <theadmin> quatar__: Hm. Quick google search brings up wi-fi issues on that device.
[17:54] <theadmin> quatar__: I recommend booting from the DVD/USB and clicking "Try Ubuntu". That way, you can try the full system without installing anything, see if things work.
[17:54] <quatar__> theadmin: yes i noticed but also tried the usb-stick and everything works good
[17:55] <quatar__> theadmin: exactly :)
[17:55] <theadmin> quatar__: Ah, great then, everything should be fine :D
[17:56] <quatar__> theadmin: before uefi i used to install one or two ubuntu a week for friends etc... the problem is that now I don't have still a for-sure-safe route with uefi
[17:56] <quatar__> theadmin: anyway, i'm going to try :) (i'm just worried to compromise the working win on a friend's laptop!). I'll let you know if i encounter issues
[17:56] <theadmin> quatar__: Well, generally, the installer's automatic partitioning doesn't fail if secure/fast boot are disabled. At least I've not heard of them failing. Now with manual partitioning, you need some strange extra stuff for EFI.
[17:57] <urielvigilant> How to make Chrommium to open docs and cals with LibbreOffce ? I discovery this, but i dont have idea what for calcs instead writer docs . http://askubuntu.com/questions/260837/how-to-set-chromium-to-open-word-documents-with-libreoffice
[17:58] <quatar__> theadmin: yep, indeed i often use the automatic partitioning now. Anyway I often find it buggy, not showing which OS corresponds to the two sides of the volume space slider
[17:58] <theadmin> quatar__: Ah, it does that sometimes, not sure why. Ubuntu's the second one.
[17:58] <quatar__> wow so i finally have an answer on that :) thanks theadmin !
[17:59] <theadmin> quatar__: Maybe something to do with graphic drivers? Strange though.
[17:59] <pfifo> hello world
[18:00] <quatar__> theadmin: eh.. don't know! Good bye anyway :)
[18:01] <geekcafe_pl> hey guys, I'm looking for people who could recommend me a good Ubuntu VPS solution, if you are using one, please tell me on priv
[18:02] <iHelpful> OK.
[18:03] <ubuntuaddicted> ok, i used clonezilla to clone partitions from a smaller harddrive to images, then i restored them to larger partitions and now the new hard drive doesn't boot into grub or anything. do i fix this using boot repair tool. im downloading linux_rescue_remix.iso right now and gonna load it onto a usb stick
[18:04] <pfifo> ubuntuaddicted: reinstalling grub should do it
[18:05] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: don't use an external CD to fix it, use an ubuntu CD
[18:06] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, it's the boot repair tool
[18:06] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: I know, don't use it, use an ubuntu cd
[18:07] <urielvigilant> How to make Chrommium open docs with libbreoffice  instead of other stuff ?
[18:08] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, why not may i ask?
[18:08] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: to make sure you use the same tools/grub as ubuntu expects
[18:08] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, grub2 is grub2 as far as I am concerned
[18:09] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: that's probably why you break things then
[18:09] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, an MBR is an MBR.
[18:09] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: carry on then, please just be aware I've advised you against it, as an "mbr" is not an "mbr"
[18:09] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, i didn't break anything. I moved my xubuntu installation from a smaller 40GB IDE HDD to a 160GB SATA HDD using clonezilla.
[18:10] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: carry on, I'm not going to beg you to follow my advice.
[18:10] <jetski> is there some kind of package that autocompletes terminal inputs based on statstics? i.e. if you use a command often, can pressing tab autocomplete with that command instead of something else?
[18:10] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, i appreciate the suggestion. if i were to use an ubuntu live usb, what would the commands be?
[18:10] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it depends on a great many things, carry on with what you wanted to do,
[18:12] <zykotick9> jetski: i don't think so, somewhat of an interesting idea though...
[18:13] <auronandace> !info fish | jetski
[18:14] <zykotick9> auronandace: really?  fish does that?
[18:14] <jetski> auronandace, fish seems interesting, does it autocomplete based on statistics though?
[18:14] <auronandace> jetski: i'm not entirely sure sorry, it was the closest thing i could think of
[18:14] <jetski> zykotick9, what would be even cooler is if there were something like google autocomplete for terminal, productivity increase -> 1000%
[18:14] <lord4163> Where do I download Ubuntu Thrusty Tahr server edition?
[18:15] <auronandace> !ubuntu+1 | lord4163
[18:15] <jetski> auronandace, fish looks pretty good though, thanks for the pointer :)

[18:24] <Danato> guys I installed ubuntu on my gf's pc. I know that if i install xubuntu desktop I will have some increase on the performance, but would it better than installing kubuntu instead?
[18:24] <urielvigilant> How to setup Chromium to open docs with LibreOfice instead of other stuffs ?
[18:25] <Danato> btw its on VB
[18:25] <cWiden> Where do I go to ask why the Unbuntu is not on bountySource ?
[18:25] <pfifo> Danato: you can install both, and decide for yourself. Your allowed to have many desktop enviroments installed side by side
[18:26] <cWiden> **Ubuntu Project ...is not ...
[18:26] <lvleph> for some reason sudo reboot doesn't work. It starts a reboot process and then hangs. Can someone help me figure out how to fix this?
[18:26] <rathodr2> sudo shutdown -r
[18:26] <pfifo> cWiden: we have launchpad
[18:26] <zykotick9> urielvigilant: (troubleshooting step only)  try both "xdg-open libreoffice-file.foo" and "gnome-open libreoffice-file.foo" does one open in firefox and the other in LO?  might give you a hint on what to search for to change it.
[18:26] <lvleph> I think something may be wrong with my acpi because it won't suspend on closing the lid either
[18:27] <lvleph> I will try that rathodr2
[18:27] <lvleph> brb
[18:27] <pratz> hello guys
[18:27] <Danato> pfifo: I already use kubuntu for a while so id prefer to install it too on her vm, but if xubuntu would run more smoothly then id rather install it
[18:28] <elijah> hola, meld is saying some files have been modified when comparing two directories, however, when I open them it says 'files are identical', any thoughts?
[18:28] <pratz> I have a external hard disk, I want to lock some folders on it, how can I do it ?
[18:28] <urielvigilant> zykotick9: i cant understand what steps i need to do with your info, iam newby
[18:28] <pfifo> Danato: chances are xubuntu will be a little lighter on resources
[18:28] <pratz> also, they should not be accesible on windows and mac
[18:29] <Danato> pfifo: thats what i thought
[18:29] <zykotick9> urielvigilant: 1) do you know how to open a terminal? 2) do you have an Excel file available?
[18:29] <lvleph> thank you rathodr2 that worked wonder why reboot won't
[18:29] <urielvigilant> Zykotick9: yes i have terminal already opened and the file on chrommium ready to clicked
[18:30] <pfifo> pratz: I encrypt my stuff with gnupg. I think thats what you mean when you say 'lock'
[18:30] <zykotick9> urielvigilant: save the file in chromium to your home directory (download it)
[18:30] <pratz> pfifo: yes
[18:30] <lvleph> nice reboot and back to xchat in less than 3 minutes
[18:30] <pratz> pfifo: but will it be accessibale on windows and mac ?
[18:31] <rathodr2> lvleph, what's your distro/system/os?
[18:31] <lvleph> Ubuntu 13.04
[18:31] <urielvigilant> zykotick9: when i click on download a bar appear on chrommium downside with the download, i click on it , and it opens Firefox. It i remove Firefox it opens whell with LibreOffice, can you understand this ?
[18:31] <pfifo> pratz: no, well yes, windows and mac have gnupg tools, but overall it will be encrypted, so unaccessable from everywhere until you enter a password
[18:32] <zykotick9> urielvigilant: i understand that.
[18:32] <pratz> pfifo: ya that's cool
[18:32] <pratz> pfifo: even windows admin can not open it, right ?
[18:32] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, by the way, linux_secure_remix is Ubuntu
[18:33] <Danato> lvleph: do you know how can you upgrade your ubuntu to 13.10?
[18:33] <Belial`> anyone else getting a different notification color if the launcher and dash are set to a fixed color?
[18:33] <pfifo> pratz: right
[18:33] <urielvigilant> zykotick : what do you sugest, please?
[18:33] <pratz> pfifo: ok, thanks
[18:33] <lvleph> Danato, I cannot use 13.10, because it crashes within seconds of loading
[18:34] <lvleph> I am on a Macbook Pro 7,1 so I am happy even getting as far as I have.
[18:34] <zykotick9> urielvigilant: i guess i can't help you (as you can't download teh file / open a terminal / run my test).  best of luck, hopefully someone else can assist you.
[18:34] <Danato> lvleph: if its good for you then perfect
[18:34] <rathodr2> lvleph, when was the last time that worked for you? I was googling and found this issue back in ubuntu version 6
[18:35] <lonewulf85> the dimmer controls on my acer ao722 are not working.  I am running ubuntu 12.04
[18:35] <urielvigilant> zykotick9 : i know i can oopen it from the filemanager with no problem. this problem is only wen directly fom Chrommium !
[18:35] <lvleph> It worked in 12.04, but I just upgraded (fresh install) yesterday rathodr2
[18:35] <ubuntuuser> hi
[18:35] <zykotick9> urielvigilant: don't include my nick in your messages... sorry i can't help (in the gui) - but maybe someone else can!
[18:36] <uncle_ben> why do some xscreensavers use root window correctly  and some use the generic image even though it's set to use the root window? when my system was using intel integrated graphics, every xscreensaver set with root window worked, but with nvidia, only some xscreensaver use root window correctly, others don't
[18:36] <ubuntuuser> I just did a stupid and removed "unity-scope-home" so i don't get any more results in the dash. there is no installation candidate. how do I get my search results back? running 13.10
[18:36] <lvleph> I only upgraded because the claim was that the proprietary drivers for nvidia worked in 13.04. However they don't. rathodr2
[18:38] <beefman> hi.  i had a motherboard die on me today, and i removed the two raid 1 (mirrored) drives, now trying to get them to work in another machine.  I had used the dead motherboard's onboard raid.
[18:38] <lvleph> I found this rathodr2 http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.com.es/2011/11/solved-ubuntu-doesnt-shutdown-properly.html but it is really old
[18:38] <beefman> now when i try to mount them, i get unknown filesystem type 'ddf_raid_member'
[18:38] <beefman> any ideas?
[18:38] <rathodr2> lvleph, just a thought (no guarantees). have you tried sudo apt-get autoclean/upgrade/update (each separate command)? I've found this cleans the package managemet system and local repo
[18:39] <beefman> also i have tried setting the current machine's motherboard bios to ahci, raid, and ide, but neither drive will boot in any of those settings
[18:39] <urielvigilant> How to setup Chrommium to open .xls files directly with LibreOffice instead of other? mine is trying to open it with FireFox , this is crzy doens it ?
[18:39] <rodney77> Say, does anyone know how to hide foreign language fonts? I would like to be able to see these fonts rendered, in places like wikipedia pages, but I would never have a reason to see them in a dropdown list of available fonts to use
[18:39] <lvleph> I will try that rathodr2
[18:39] <jhutchins_wk> beefman: You'll need to restore them from backup, without the original controller you can't recover the raid.
[18:39] <rodney77> in windows vista, it's simple: Hide all the foreign fonts. They still render but never show up in Word or Photoshop etc
[18:40] <ubuntuuser> I just did a stupid and removed "unity-scope-home" so i don't get any more results in the dash. trying to reinstall gives me "there is no installation candidate". how do I get my search results back? running 13.10
[18:40] <rodney77> but in linux you hide folders/files by prepending a dot, which changes the path
[18:40] <beefman> jhutchins_wk: whoa, that's a shock.  the original as in the original only, or an identical part also?
[18:40] <albert_> hi guys, my usb headset logitch have been working with ubuntu 12.04 for a while, and now it does not working,
[18:41] <beefman> i mean, if i can find another identical motherboard?
[18:41] <albert_> I tried unplug/plug headset again
[18:41] <jhutchins_wk> An identical motherboard would probably work.  The board was presenting the array to the OS as a single drive, right?
[18:41] <beefman> yeah
[18:41] <albert_> and run command lsusb, it does not detect my usb headset
[18:42] <beefman> ok so it's not like i need something that's stored on the bios chip in the dead machien
[18:43] <pratz> pfifo: does gnupg work for directories ?
[18:43] <pratz> or just files ?
[18:43] <k1l_> ubuntuuser: just reinstall  "unity-scope-home"
[18:44] <lvleph> ewww scary xserver is about to update
[18:46] <OnceMe> I have a problem, my screensaver is not working
[18:46] <OnceMe> actually when I watch video on youtube and 10mins pass, it goes blank automatically and lock a screen
[18:46] <OnceMe> but when I watch in vlc player screen does not go blank
[18:46] <OnceMe> it's like system is not seing that my video is active
[18:46] <albert_> can anyone help to troubleshoot my usb logitech headset? it has been working with ubuntu 12.04, it seems not work after I ran updates
[18:47] <OnceMe> brightness & lock: turn off system when its inactive: never
[18:47] <OnceMe> so why does this happen?
[18:47] <lvleph> OnceMe, I think the only way I fixed this was by disabling the screensaver
[18:47] <pfifo> pratz: technically their the same thing, but I think you want to operate on mutiple files (in a directory) so you will want to use tar to make a tarball of all the files, and then gnupg to encrypt the tarball
[18:47] <OnceMe> lvleph: I tried that
[18:47] <OnceMe> not working
[18:47] <lonewulf85> issue with ao722 dimmer in ubuntu 12.04
[18:47] <OnceMe> I use cinnamon gui
[18:47] <pratz> pfifo: hmmm
[18:47] <lvleph> I had that at one time too OnceMe are you using Mint?
[18:47] <OnceMe> on ubuntu
[18:48] <OnceMe> actually lubuntu
[18:48] <OnceMe> ubuntu 12.*
[18:48] <lvleph> I have only seen this in cinnamon OnceMe
[18:48] <OnceMe> really? damn
[18:48] <OnceMe> is there a bug fix?
[18:48] <lvleph> I never found the solution
[18:48] <pfifo> !enter | OnceMe
[18:48] <lvleph> I looked for a couple years
[18:49] <OnceMe> meh Ill use gnome then
[18:49] <OnceMe> thanks for help
[18:49] <minimec> albert_: you did updates or upgrades? Are you still on 12.04?
[18:49] <jhutchins_wk> albert_: Did you change anything on the system?  Upgrade?
[18:49] <pfifo> OnceMe: turn off your screen saver when you watch videos
[18:49] <lvleph> np OnceMe
[18:49] <lvleph> pfifo, he tried that
[18:49] <OnceMe> pfifo: screen saver is turned off
[18:49] <OnceMe> completelly
[18:49] <OnceMe> nvm ill switch guis
[18:50] <OnceMe> bye
[18:50] <zykotick9> albert_: check "dmesg" output before and after plugging it in - does it give you any messages/errors?
[18:50] <lvleph> OnceMe, I even uninstalled it and still had the issue lol
[18:50] <ubuntuuser> I just did a stupid and removed "unity-scope-home" so i don't get any more results in the dash. trying to reinstall gives me "there is no installation candidate". how do I get my search results back? running 13.10
[18:50] <pfifo> he left? I knew the other answer, terminal blanking

[18:52] <urielvigilant> How to setup Chrommium to open .xls files directly with LibreOffice instead of other? mine is trying to open it with FireFox , this is crzy doens it ?
[18:53] <k1l_> ubuntuuser: can you pastebin a "sudo apt-get install unity-scope-home"
[18:54] <jhutchins_wk> urielvigilant: What are you running?  Unity?  Gnome?  Have you looked at Chromium to see if it will let you specify the program?  Have you tried right-clicing on the file and choosing "Open With"?
[18:55] <zykotick9> jhutchins_wk: urielvigilant reports it opens correctly from nautilus.  i'm guess there is a different association for xdg-open vs gnome-open (but that's speculation at this point)
[18:56] <urielvigilant> jhutchins_wk: iam using Lubuntu 13.10 , yes Chromium dont have this option. I can open files directly on file manager , but using chromium when i click on downloaded file it opens a fire Fox window. If i uninstall FireFox it open with the default Lubuntu app to Calcs files, and if i uninstal it finally opens with LibbreOffice. But i dont want to uninstall FireFOx because that
[18:58] <ubuntuuser> jhutchins_wk: alright, i only have apt-get (aptitude has no installation candidate). trying apt-get -f gives the same
[18:59] <k1l_> !paste | ubuntuuser please put that whole terminal output into that
[19:01] <ubuntuuser> tried it again, now it works. thanks!
[19:02] <urielvigilant> jhutchins_wk :  i found this on internet, but how to make this available also for cals kind .xls docs etc ?  http://askubuntu.com/questions/260837/how-to-set-chromium-to-open-word-documents-with-libreoffice
[19:04] <fishduck> hi.. when I run some openGL app, it completely takes over my screen.  I was looking for something like that but couldn't switch to IRC to ask

[19:20] <Rat2000> does anybody know how to set up virtualbox and bridge a connection on ubuntu 12.04 ?
[19:21] <gordonjcp> !virtualbox
[19:22] <AlanBell> Rat2000: yup, it works fine, did you have a specific question about it?
[19:23] <Rat2000> i just installed virtual box and selected the correct interfaces and chose bridge
[19:23] <Rat2000> do i need to make some specific configurations?
[19:23] <Rat2000> on the host machine i mean
[19:24] <Rat2000> AlanBell, ?
[19:25] <Danato> I jst installed ubuntu 13.04 on a pc's virtualbox, and upgraded it to 13.10, but when i restarted it, it jst shows me a blinking cursor for quite a while now. is that supposed to be normal?
[19:25] <AlanBell> Rat2000: that should be fine, the guest will pick up it's own IP address from the network DHCP server
[19:25] <AlanBell> unless you set a static one on the guest
[19:26] <Rat2000> AlanBell, the problem is, it does not give an ip.
[19:26] <Rat2000> that is the problem
[19:27] <AlanBell> Rat2000: so you have a DHCP server on the network that has enough IP addresses to hand one out to the guest?
[19:27] <AlanBell> Rat2000: if in the guest you set a static IP address that is in the right subnet, can it ping stuff?
[19:27] <Rat2000> yes, i am sure that the dhcp server has enough ipadress
[19:27] <AlanBell> Rat2000: is this wireless or wired?
[19:28] <Rat2000> wired
[19:28] <Rat2000> so what you are saying is that it should work out of the box
[19:28] <AlanBell> yeah, presumably NAT works?
[19:29] <Rat2000> i did not try with nat
[19:29] <Danato> that reboot is taking way too long, I guess i should roll it back to 13.04
[19:29] <AlanBell> oh, give that a go first then, rules out a bunch of issues
[19:31] <Rat2000> AlanBell, i just tried with nat and i recive an ip, but i cannot ping www.google.com
[19:32] <AlanBell> and presumably you can from the host?
[19:32] <Rat2000> yes from host works 100%
[19:32] <AlanBell> ok, was a silly question but we have to rule out the basics :)
[19:32] <question> :)
[19:32] <AlanBell> any odd firewall setup on the host?
[19:32] <Rat2000> i understand no worries
[19:33] <Rat2000> it has the basic firewall that comes with
[19:33] <Rat2000> with ubuntu by default
[19:33] <AlanBell> host and guest are both Ubuntu?
[19:33] <Rat2000> host is ubuntu, gues is pfsense witch is a version of freebsd
[19:33] <urielvigilant> cant make printscreen on lubuntu , why ?
[19:34] <Danato> can anybody tell me how to choose ubuntu's advanced settings on virtualbox?
[19:34] <AlanBell> Rat2000: can the guest ping local ip addresses? such as the host IP address?
[19:34] <Danato> so i can load with the previous kernel
[19:35] <pfifo> urielvigilant: when I press prtscrn it dosent do anything, but it puts a screenshot in my home folder
[19:35] <reisio> Danato: hold down SHIFT during bootup
[19:36] <urielvigilant> pfifo: my lubuntu dont put nothing
[19:36] <pfifo> urielvigilant: install scrot maybe?
[19:37] <Danato> reisio: thanks, that worked
[19:38] <Credofilu> asd
[19:38] <Danato> reisio: but it still doesnt boot up, same forever blinking cursor, it only happened after the do-release-upgrade
[19:38] <urielvigilant> pfifo: sudo apt-get scrot ?
[19:38] <urielvigilant> pfifo: sudo apt-get install scrot ?
[19:38] <reisio> Danato: boot from a live image and fix it, then
[19:38] <Rat2000> AlanBell, i cannot find the gateway that my host has, what should be the default one?
[19:39] <Danato> reisio: fix it how?
[19:39] <pfifo> urielvigilant: yes, that will work
[19:39] <Rat2000> AlanBell, sorry not gateway but ip
[19:39] <urielvigilant> pfifo: and know it should work with
[19:39] <pfifo> urielvigilant: maybe
[19:40] <Encrypt> Hi everybody!
[19:40] <Rat2000> AlanBell, ???
[19:41] <Encrypt> I have a USB key on which I set a Luks partition
[19:41] <Encrypt> I'd like to set the mountpoint of this USB key when I plug it to the computer
[19:41] <AlanBell> Rat2000: <IP_ADDRESS>, but I don't think setting that will help
[19:41] <Encrypt> I added to my fstab :
[19:42] <Rat2000> AlanBell, so i ping <IP_ADDRESS> but nothing...
[19:42] <Encrypt> /dev/mapper/USB     /media/USB   vfat    defaults,noauto   0    0
[19:42] <Encrypt> Is it enough?
[19:42] <pfifo> Encrypt: fstab has no influence over where somethign gets mounted when it is plugged in... it only affects boot time mounts
[19:42] <Encrypt> I imagine it isn't...
[19:42] <Encrypt> pfifo, No, we can specify the mountpoint
[19:43] <Rat2000> AlanBell, i just ping <IP_ADDRESS> and it is working
[19:43] <AlanBell> Rat2000: can you try it with an ubuntu live cd as the guest?
[19:43] <Encrypt> pfifo, I learnt this when I attended to my UNIX class
[19:43] <Rat2000> AlanBell, i just ping <IP_ADDRESS> and it is working
[19:43] <Rat2000> if that helps
[19:43] <AlanBell> Rat2000: that is itself
[19:43] <Rat2000> no the client is <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:43] <bekks> you should both read the vbox manual chapter 6 about how their nat works ;)
[19:44] <AlanBell> oh, so it is
[19:44] <AlanBell> I read it wrong, yes, <IP_ADDRESS> should be the host virtual adapter
[19:44] <bekks> there is no such thing..
[19:45] <AlanBell> Rat2000: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:45] <Danato> can anybody tell me why is ubuntu not booting after an upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10? even with the old kernel
[19:45] <bekks> From the guest, <IP_ADDRESS> is the default gateway.
[19:45] <Rat2000> AlanBell, no it does not work
[19:46] <bekks> Rat2000: Which networking mode do you use, whats the IP of the guest, and whats the output of "netstat -rn" in the guest?
[19:46] <bekks> Rat2000: Pastebin those information please.
[19:46] <Encrypt> By the way...
[19:47] <Encrypt> Why do we have to format a Luks partition?
[19:47] <Encrypt> I don't understand the reason why...
[19:47] <AlanBell> Rat2000: I am out of ideas, but bekks seems to know it better than me anyway :)
[19:47] <bekks> Encrypt: Why do you expect it to work without? :)
[19:47] <divingmule> Hi, I ran "apt-get upgrade" now my network doesn't connect :s any ideas?
[19:47] <Encrypt> Sure, a filesystem is needed to get a "hardware" disk working...
[19:47] <reisio> Encrypt: and?
[19:48] <Encrypt> But I've already done this on another USB Key
[19:48] <reisio> so?
[19:48] <bekks> Encrypt: So thats why you have to format it.
[19:48] <Encrypt> And apparently I was able to put files on it without any problem
[19:48] <pfifo> Encrypt: ok yes, you can use fstab to let users mount the partition when its plugged in. I though you were going for an automount here.
[19:48] <Encrypt> I don't know why it worked but it worked...
[19:48] <reisio> maybe you should figure out why before wondering why
[19:48] <bjensen82> I want to enable my apps to use the mail app to alert of me stuff. I want to use an external smtp server. What app should I install to handle this?
[19:49] <Encrypt> pfifo, :)
[19:49] <Encrypt> reisio, What do you mean?
[19:49] <bjensen82> I was looking at postfix, but I thought it might be a bit overkill?
[19:49] <reisio> exactly
[19:49] <reisio> s/email/xmpp
[19:49] <pfifo> bjensen82: exim might be a bit lighter
[19:50] <reisio> secure, server-to-server, no middleman, real-time
[19:50] <reisio> starts with x!
[19:50] <Encrypt> As my computer science teacher says, not knowing why it works when it works is worse than not knowing why it doesn't work when it doesn't work.
[19:50] <Encrypt> :/
[19:50] <bjensen82> pfifo: thanks
[19:51] <Rat2000> bekks, i am running now in nat and i see destination <IP_ADDRESS> witch is the real dhcp server that gives ip's to the host and <IP_ADDRESS> witch i asume is the local conection betwen host and client
[19:51] <joossee> what is the difference between kvm and qemu in a nutshell?
[19:51] <reisio> Encrypt: right, it's just you asked why you needed FOO based on BAR, not why you needed FOO :)
[19:51] <bekks> Rat2000: Your second assumption is wrong.
[19:51] <reisio> joossee: qemu begat kvm begat qemu-kvm begat qemu
[19:51] <Rat2000> bekks, i am all years
[19:51] <reisio> joossee: it's hard to say now, most copies of qemu at this point are the same as kvm
[19:51] <bekks> Rat2000: Please refer to chapter 6 of the vbox manual - all I can say is explained there, and even better, regarding the NAT section.
[19:51] <joossee> reisio, well kvm lets me usoe something called virtio but qemu seems to not?
[19:51] <reisio> joossee: the devs renamed a lot to confuse people :p
[19:51] <Rat2000> please give me a link
[19:52] <Encrypt> Actually, LUKS is quite strange...
[19:52] <reisio> joossee: qemu and kvm are the same these days
[19:52] <reisio> joossee: you'd have to have quite an old copy for it to be otherwise
[19:52] <joossee> reisio, ubuntu 12.04 64...?
[19:52] <Rat2000> but bekks, i want bridge not nat, should i still read that?
[19:52] <AlanBell> bekks: the original problem was that bridged networking wasn't working, I asked Rat2000 to flip to NAT to check that it wasn't a DHCP server issue
[19:52] <reisio> joossee: what codename is 12.04?
[19:52] <wafflejock> Rat2000: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html
[19:52] <reisio> for some reason packages.ubuntu.com only uses stupid codenames
[19:52] <joossee> reisio, precise pangolin i believe?
[19:52] <Rat2000> thnx wafflejock
[19:53] <reisio> joossee: yeah, all the same
[19:53] <reisio> qemu and kvm are both 'qemu-kvm'
[19:53] <reisio> unfortunately since they kept changing the name the only way to half unambiguously refer to it is to make the name both names :p
[19:53] <reisio> gj upstream
[19:54] <joossee> reisio, ok.. how does I understand how the disk options works, IDE, SCSI, etc for the VM.. but what is virtio and what does it work on? im trying to get, gasp, windows2003 booting, only as a test
[19:54] <reisio> joossee: anyways you'll know if you don't have "kvm", because it will be dastardly slow
[19:54] <reisio> joossee: ask #kvm about that
[19:54] <joossee> reisio, i ran kvm-ok and I know my server supports virtualization so..
[19:54] <joossee> enabled in BIOS, etc.
[19:54] <psusi> joossee, virtio doesn't emulate physical hardware, instead it allows the guest kernel to use a more efficient api to send requests to the hypervisor
[19:55] <joossee> i did get windows 2003 installed but only on 8GB partition... cant get it to work any bigger
[19:55] <gajillion> Hello, would OpenDNS family filter play a factor in me not receiving updates and upgrades from apt?
[19:55] <Encrypt> I'll come back... Reboot :)
[19:55] <Rat2000> bekks, that article doesn't really solve annything. i want to use bridge and there it says just to select that from the options witch i did and still doesnt work
[19:55] <joossee> psusi, ok so thats dependent on the OS for the VM?
[19:55] <pfifo> Encrypt: there are 2 layers here, LUKS is the first, being placed on the partition itself, it transperently encrypts all data that is written to the partition. The second layer is you filesystem of choice, it manages storing data in a logical manner such as in files. LUKS dosent not provide any type of system for managin files so hence you need a filesystem on top of it.
[19:55] <psusi> joossee, yes, the guest OS must support it... I think Oracle made some Windows drivers to do it, but I'm not sure...
[19:55] <gajillion> Hello, would OpenDNS family filter play a factor in me not receiving updates and upgrades from apt?
[19:55] <joossee> kk tty
[19:56] <wafflejock> Rat2000: think bekks was referring to just understanding what the difference is between NAT and bridged connections and what the implications would be, what's your exact issue?
[19:56] <reisio> gajillion: quite possibly
[19:56] <reisio> opendns is kind of awful
[19:56] <gajillion> Ok, thanks
[19:56] <reisio> adware nonsense
[19:56] <reisio> dansguardian might be a better idea, but I haven't wasted my time on it
[19:56] <Rat2000> wafflejock, i want to set bridge and recive an ip on the guest machine from virtualbox
[19:56] <Rat2000> for some reason it does not work
[19:57] <bjensen82> pfifo: exim4 lets me use mandrillapp.com with a specific username / password for whatever user / service is sending off an email using e.g. /usr/bin/mail ?
[19:57] <wafflejock> Rat2000: how exactly does it not work... are you using ifconfig to check the IP that you get on each? are they both Ubuntu installs with default settings network wise
[19:58] <Rat2000> wafflejock, i have ubuntu as host and pfsense as guest, pfsense is a free bsd based distro
[19:58] <joossee> i know yall are gonna hate this question but how do I mount the second disk in an install package using virt or Virtual Machine Manager?
[19:58] <tortora> film
[19:58] <pfifo> bjensen82: thats not what exim does, you origin app is responsible for setting the destination of the email
[19:58] <joossee> the second ISO?
[19:59] <bjensen82> pfifo: I see...well what app does that then?
[19:59] <naptic> hi
[19:59] <bjensen82> for example I have signed up for mandrillapp.com so I dont have to have my own mail server running for sending out emails for users. I would like my services to use that as well
[20:00] <apofis> hello
[20:00] <joossee> salut
[20:01] <pfifo> bjensen82: well then, exim is not what your looking for, exim is a mail server, so is postfix. youll need to tell your orgin app to use mandrill.com or whatever.
[20:01] <apofis> Im wondering is somebody could help me with this
[20:01] <grimeton> bjensen82: checkout ssmtp
[20:01] <naptic> i just installed ubuntu 12.04 in my desktoppc next to windows 7. the installation got finished without any probems(installed from usb-stick). now it doesnt boot, and when the usb stick is still in, there comes a message: invalid or corrupt boot image. can somebody tell me whats wrong?
[20:01] <pirret> you can configure postfix as a smarthost
[20:01] <apofis> when I lock my system (12.04.03) randomly my OS hangs up
[20:01] <apofis> in logs I got this famous message:  NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt
[20:02] <pirret> to use mandrillap or whatever smtp-server
[20:02] <pfifo> bjensen82: what mail are you refering to? Im thinking your interested in mail from syslog or something of that nature
[20:02] <wafflejock> Rat2000: you should pastebin your ifconfig info, not sure about FreeBSD/pfsense but if DHCP is working then Bridged connection from virtual box should work
[20:02] <apofis> something similar described already here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/986831
[20:02] <joossee> naptic; did you use encryption and are you sure you wrote the boot loater and grub info the harddisk and not the USB stick?
[20:02] <bjensen82> pfifo: basicly anything. like mails from the raid controller when a disk goes bad etc
[20:02] <bjensen82> grimeton: thanks Ill checkout ssmtp :)
[20:02] <pirret> postfix as a smarthost is what you want then
[20:03] <naptic> joosee: no encryption. and i used unetbootin to write ubuntu to the stick
[20:03] <joossee> naptic, cuz in onlder versions the default option is not the one you want when it asks you about grub, it is the one for the harddrive, you have to write it down when you are partioning the drive
[20:03] <bjensen82> pirret: why not ssmtp?
[20:03] <pirret> or that, never heard of it
[20:03] <bjensen82> ill check out both thanks
[20:03] <joossee> naptic, ive only installed from install CD so...
[20:03] <pirret> looks like it fits better for this job now that i googled it
[20:03] <pirret> postfix might be an overkill
[20:03] <pfifo> bjensen82: thats syslog I think. but there are a lot of sources for mail like that, so what pirret is describing may be more efficient than finding and setting options for each indivudial program that uses mail
[20:04] <naptic> joosee: i had ubuntu 12.04 already installed, but there was the same problem. grub seems to be alright, because it ran smoothly till today
[20:04] <pfifo> *postfix is always overkill*
[20:04] <joossee> lololol
[20:04] <naptic> and grub still tuns good
[20:04] <bekks> Rat2000: Your issue can be solved much better in #vbox
[20:04] <reisio> no, superman tuns good, grub tuns _WELL_
[20:04] <reisio> :p
[20:05] <naptic> *runs
[20:05] <joossee> so you get a bnch of different boot options from grub?
[20:05] <naptic> yes
[20:05] <Rat2000> bekks, i didn't tought of that, good idea thnx
[20:05] <naptic> windows etc
[20:05] <joossee> hrmmm ok explain your problem in more detail naptic?
[20:06] <joossee> naptic; which come up and what have you tried?
[20:06] <bjensen82> pfifo:
[20:06] <bjensen82> pfifo: ok thanks
[20:07] <naptic> well... when i want to boot ubuntu, there is this purplelike backgroundcolor, if you know what i mean... the ubuntucolor, and nothing happens... when i got the stick in the usbport, and enter default, it says this error with invalid or corrupt boot image
[20:07] <naptic> i tried to reinstall :D what else...
[20:07] <naptic> but i can run the livesession with no problem
[20:08] <naptic> any idea?
[20:08] <joossee> reisio, where does virt keep its logs?
[20:09] <reisio> virt?
[20:09] <joossee> naptic, ok, when you get the grub loader, hit e and you can edit grub for that one time. find the second or third last line that ends in "ro" and an option "quiet splash"
[20:10] <wilee-nilee> naptic, Have you used this ISO on this usb to install before with no problems, IE have you checked the md5sum?
[20:10] <joossee> then hit f10. lemme find a link for you
[20:10] <vicatcu> i have a 64-bit firefox installation, what's the currently recommended/supported path to getting flash to run in it?
[20:10] <vicatcu> on ubuntu 12.04
[20:10] <naptic> the md5sum is alright
[20:11] <auronandace> vicatcu: install flash from the repo
[20:11] <vicatcu> couldn't find a clearly accepted answer on the webs
[20:11] <naptic> so what to do with quiet splash?
[20:11] <vicatcu> auronandance.... i.e. through synaptic?
[20:11] <wilee-nilee> naptic, Could it be a graphic driver is missing, just trying to understand a unusual description.
[20:11] <joossee> naptic: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147285/unable-to-boot-into-ubuntu-12-04
[20:11] <joossee> naptic: follow these instructions to put quiet splash in the right place, dont add nomodeset yet
[20:11] <auronandace> vicatcu: indeed
[20:12] <naptic> ok i will try... if it doesnt work, ill come back ;)
[20:12] <vicatcu> auronandance do u know the package name?
[20:12] <joossee> naptic ya get a tablet or something buddy :)
[20:12] <vicatcu> searching on "flash" doesn't exactly narrow it down
[20:12] <naptic> nah
[20:13] <auronandace> !info flashplugin-installer | vicatcu
[20:16] <vicatcu> auronadace something seems to go wrong there... "Failure to download extra data files"
[20:16] <auronandace> !tab | vicatcu
[20:17] <vicatcu> auronandace sorry
[20:17] <vicatcu> good tip
[20:17] <auronandace> vicatcu: no worries
[20:17] <Francescokro> ciao
[20:17] <Francescokro> !list
[20:18] <pfifo> Drop flash alltogether.
[20:20] <vicatcu> auronandace, so it's failing to do this: "flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_<IP_ADDRESS>0.orig.tar.gz"
[20:21] <auronandace> vicatcu: not sure what to tell you, thats the package i always install from synaptic and it's never failed for me
[20:21] <joossee> reisio, how can I change the mounted cd in a VM?
[20:21] <reisio> joossee: talk to #kvm
[20:22] <naptic> hey
[20:22] <joossee> thats a thin yay
[20:23] <naptic> when i try to boot linux, there is the message: kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel. see linux documentation blabla... somebody got an idea?
[20:24] <wafflejock> joossee: in the vbox settings for the vm
[20:24] <wafflejock> joossee: can also go to the devices menu on a running vm
[20:24] <vicatcu> could it be i have to wrong repo or something?
[20:25] <vicatcu> flashplugin-installer shows up as <IP_ADDRESS>0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> in synaptic
[20:25] <naptic> somebody? im starting to go a little bit crazy...
[20:26] <wildwind> vicatcu: try plain old apt-get install and check for any error messages
[20:26] <vicatcu> ah did a reload in synaptic and it changed
[20:26] <vicatcu> <--- dumb
[20:27] <joossee> merci wafflejock !
[20:27] <pooppppp> http://www.paulyne.com/?id=111794
[20:27] <pooppppp> clicks?
[20:27] <wafflejock> joossee: np
[20:28] <wildwind> naptic: install and use bootrepair in live session
[20:28] <vizgix> yar
[20:28] <naptic> just sudo apt-get install?
[20:29] <wildwind> it lives in separate repo afair
[20:29] <naptic> so how do i install it?
[20:29] <vizgix> im running a server with ec2, but am having problems >_<
[20:30] <wilee-nilee> naptic, You add a ppa for bootrepiar, save the bootinfo summary. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[20:30] <wildwind> !boot-repair
[20:31] <wilee-nilee> naptic, You can run just the bootinfo summary and post the url if you like.
[20:31] <vizgix> what are recomended editors for Ubuntu
[20:31] <naptic> w8 a sec please
[20:31] <wafflejock> !details | vizgix
[20:32] <wafflejock> vizgix: Sublime Text is great for lots of dev tasks, Gedit or Kate are good basic editors
[20:32] <sp38> hello... for thoses who know notepad++ is there anything similar for ubuntu platform? thanks
[20:32] <bekks> sp38: vi :)
[20:32] <wafflejock> vizgix: at the command line vi vim and nano are probably the most popular
[20:32] <wilee-nilee> vizgix, There is gedit, some like leafpad these are outside the cli though.
[20:32] <vizgix> i usually use gedit, but can not find a andress to wget
[20:32] <sp38> bekks, "anything similar" :)
[20:32] <wafflejock> sp38: geany
