[08:27] <iter> why do you have that IP for towel.blinkenlights.nl
[08:27] <iter> I get <IP_ADDRESS>

[08:28] <iter> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[08:30] <zalmoxes> any ops in here?

[08:31] <stuck2> iter: What do you mean by cat?
[08:32] <aeon-ltd> stuck2: it's a command that can read and merge files
[08:32] <iter> it will show the contents of that file

[08:34] <stuck2> How?
[08:34] <iter> comment out or delete those namserver lines and change one to <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:35] <TakeItEZ> Oblivion1500: install openssh-server, create a dyndns account for your host, then configure portforwarding in your router (if you have one) and connect from WAN to your dnydns-hostname
[08:35] <stuck2> iter: How?
[08:36] <Oblivion1500> TakeItEZ: can you allow pm's real quick
[08:36] <TakeItEZ> Oblivion1500: no

[08:38] <dr_willis> mode?
[08:38] <helmut_> hi
[08:38] <Oblivion1500> i need to access my server from the public
[08:38] <aeon-ltd> TakeItEZ: it's a picture of a notepad with internal ips, and some netgear configuration pages

[08:40] <Oblivion1500> i have been working on this for days and gathered a lot of information i just cant seem to figure it out...
[08:40] <angs> does it mean I am on recovery mode?
[08:40] <stuck2> iter: OK done, now try xchat?
[08:40] <angs> is it possible to figure out why I am there

[08:41] <dr_willis> angs: i dont know how you booted the system.. you tell us
[08:41] <kepler> Oblivion1500: change the port to some high port, send 5022 to 22 -- your ISP might block it
[08:42] <aeon-ltd> for security reasons too
[08:42] <angs> dr_willis: it is an embedded board, I have not define the ubot, I just used the pre-defined ones.
[08:43] <TakeItEZ> security by obscurity. changing ssh-port reduces logs but won't really increase scurity
[08:43] <dr_willis> angs: well its mounted read only for sme reason.  you can use the remount option of mount. or just try rebooting

[08:44] <TakeItEZ> Oblivion1500: you try to connect your external IP from inside LAN? has your router nat-loopback enabled?
[08:44] <kepler> did you restart your router since you enabled port forwarding?
[08:45] <Oblivion1500> no im accessing from my phone
[08:45] <belgianguy> hi, is there a way to make grub reindex its list?
[08:45] <Oblivion1500> for testing

[08:46] <TakeItEZ> Oblivion1500: is that one of these amazon ec2...?
[08:46] <Oblivion1500> arris modem provided by isp and netgear n600 router
[08:47] <iter> Oblivion1500: why do you have two subnets? why not just have router as <IP_ADDRESS> and server as <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:47] <Oblivion1500> i have a modem and a router
[08:47] <kepler> looks like he is daisy chaining
[08:47] <kepler> is it a DSL modem?
[08:47] <Oblivion1500> cable

[08:48] <kepler> what IP is your router assigned?
[08:48] <belgianguy> cfhowlett: d'oh, thanks :)
[08:48] <cfhowlett> belgianguy, no worries big guy
[08:49] <Oblivion1500> and i dont want to bridge my modem because i need the wireless on the modem to be working
[08:49] <Oblivion1500> that information is in the picture
[08:49] <kepler> i dont think you're going to get SSH working then
[08:49] <iter> Oblivion1500: I would venture to guess your router has no idea how to get to 192.168.1.x net
[08:50] <aeon-ltd> hello hello
[08:50] <cfhowlett> aeon-ltd, echo
[08:50] <Oblivion1500> kepler why do you say that?
[08:50] <kepler> you're operating on two different subnets
[08:51] <kepler> <IP_ADDRESS>/24 can't talk to <IP_ADDRESS>/24 (unless you do some static routing or something in your router)
[08:51] <stuck2> iter: So what was the problem in the end?
[08:51] <Oblivion1500> well what if i hardwire my server to my modem with a switch?
[08:51] <kepler> do you have two wireless access points?
[08:51] <iter> stuck2: so xchat is working now?
[08:51] <SerenE_SparK> How to define udev rule to run a sh script when a usb is plugged in?
[08:51] <Oblivion1500> static routing, like port forwarding?
[08:51] <kepler> you can do that, if your server is getting an IP in the <IP_ADDRESS>/24 block
[08:51] <angs> dr_willis, I had an issue with /etc/fstab the kernel and rootfs are on an sd card. and /etc/fstab uses http://paste.ubuntu.com/1705196/ I had fschk error (error code ), then someone told me to replace "/dev/sda2" with "/" on /etc/fstab ... but when I boot the device with a usb device plugged, it was not able to mount mmcblkp2 (where the rootfs installed). do you know how I should edit that file?
[08:52] <kepler> no, i dont know if your modem would support static routes
[08:52] <linda666> hi... im having problems with my laptop's network driver. my laptop is lenovo G480. im using ubuntu 12.04. i have already followed this: http://pastebin.com/L8QhmJRn but still im facing problems, and i cant connect using cable. and sometimes my laptop hangs which based on logs i guess is caused by netwwork.
[08:52]  * jdesx hey i reinstalled ubuntu...i have ubuntu 12.10..where can i find a list of good Repos to install?
[08:52] <Oblivion1500> i have 3 2 comming from the router because the 5gz
[08:52] <cfhowlett> jdesx, software center
[08:53] <jdesx> where do i find the repos tho?
[08:53] <jdesx> google?
[08:53] <kepler> easiest is to do one gateway total. you can use your n600 as an AP/switch
[08:53] <jdesx> the actual URLS to input
[08:53] <kepler> turn off DHCP in the n600, and plug the modem into a non-wan port
[08:53] <cfhowlett> !ppa|jdesx, you seem to be talking about NON-standard repos AKA.  Good luck with that.
[08:54] <kepler> set the n600's IP to something like <IP_ADDRESS>, so you can log in if you need to
[08:54] <kepler> then set your server IP to whatever, as long as it is 192.168.0.x
[08:55] <stuck2> iter:  yes
[08:55] <kepler> you'll retain all wireless features, but you won't be daisy chaining routers. you'll just let the modem be the DHCP server/default gateway
[08:55] <makara> everytime I update and upgrade there's some Flash update. How can I turn off updates for Flash, or at least make them only update occasionally?
[08:55] <iter> stuck2: you are welcome
[08:56] <cfhowlett> !cookie|iter,
[08:56] <jdesx> can someone help me install aircrack? i need to get into my router and test security
[08:56] <cfhowlett> !aircrack|jdesx, nope.  not supported here.
[08:56] <Goranek> :) :) test your routers sercurity? hahaha
[08:56] <stuck2> iter: I planned to say TY btw, but I still had one last question, what was the problem?
[08:56] <jdesx> Yes
[08:56] <Goranek> oh cmon just check if its WPA2, and WPS disabled you're safe
[08:56] <cfhowlett> jdesx, see aircrack support for support
[08:56] <jdesx> my neighbor said they hacked my network
[08:57] <iter> stuck2, your dns was messed up
[08:57] <cfhowlett> jdesx, it is not supported here.
[08:57] <Goranek> jdesx: create a new WPA2 passphrase, and disable WPS..it's crutial to disable WPS..all new routers have it
[08:57] <TakeItEZ> jdesx: change wpa-passphrase then and be happy
[08:57] <stuck2> iter: Is that why you asked what ISP I had? To find out the right DNS relay IP or something?
[08:58] <jdesx> i dont know my password lol
[08:58] <TakeItEZ> jdesx: then ask your neighbour
[08:58] <iter> stuck2: nope I wanted to know if your ISP was blocking outbound traffic to port 6667
[08:58] <stuck2> jdesx: Put a fork in you, your done :p
[08:58] <cfhowlett> TakeItEZ, LOL!
[08:58] <cfhowlett> jdesx, nice try.
[08:59] <stuck2> iter: why replace my internal IP with this <IP_ADDRESS> number in that file?
[08:59] <jdesx> no, lol im actually serious
[09:00] <jdesx> hard reset wont change pw
[09:00] <cfhowlett> jdesx, and seriously aircrack, backtrack and other such are - not-supported-here.
[09:00] <Goranek> dude it will reset to a default
[09:00] <Goranek> and then google for a default password
[09:00] <iter> stuck2: because you got some wack ass IP result for towel.blinkenlights.nl
[09:00] <stuck2> iter: I don't follow, but in the end its working now, TY!
[09:05]  * bbiao hello
[09:05] <truepurple> I created a partition and formated it, but how come it isn't letting me put files in it?
[09:06] <truepurple> Used gparted partition editor
[09:06] <Shehrazad> Hello.
[09:06] <aeon-ltd> truepurple: is it mounted?
[09:06] <truepurple> aeon-ltd, It says it is
[09:06] <Shehrazad> Say, I have version 1.1 of something
[09:06] <Shehrazad> And along came 1.2 and one day later 1.3
[09:07] <truepurple> aeon-ltd, there is a unmount option
[09:07] <Shehrazad> What happens if I update directly to 1.3?
[09:07] <Shehrazad> Do I need to update to 1.2 first?
[09:08] <Shehrazad> apt-get resolves this kind of update business, right?
[09:08] <funch> does
[09:08] <funch> hdmi work on ubuntu livecd ?
[09:09] <funch> amd/ati gfx laptop
[09:09] <rkid> give it a try and find out most probably
[09:09] <truepurple> aeon-ltd,  So any idea then?
[09:11] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: what filesystem? use chown/chmod to adjust permissions
[09:11] <TakeItEZ> !permissions | truepurple
[09:12] <truepurple> ext 4
[09:12] <truepurple> but I tried several others too
[09:12] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: does the new partition only hold your users data or wht do you want to use it for?
[09:13] <truepurple> It doesn't hold anything, its for storage
[09:13] <truepurple> well once I can put something in it
[09:13] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: for only one user ?
[09:13] <bbiao> Can I change my username in Ubuntu?
[09:13] <truepurple> yes
[09:13] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mountpoint                replace mountpoint by the real mountpiont
[09:13] <TakeItEZ> point*
[09:14] <truepurple> Is that last part with replace part fo the command?
[09:14] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: no a comment
[09:15] <rkid> my 10,1 macbook does not work with the logitech unify thing. I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I read about the logitech bug, when I write modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj modprobe hid_logitech_dj  it does nothing and ontop of that is disables my trackpad... It is a long shot but anyone else know what I can do
[09:15] <truepurple> TakeItEZ, Even if that works, isn't there a way to do it in gparted or other less complicated methods?
[09:15] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: i don't know
[09:15] <truepurple> replace user with my username?
[09:16] <truepurple> Or literally USER?
[09:16] <TakeItEZ> no
[09:16] <TakeItEZ> $USER
[09:16] <truepurple> chown: cannot access `/mountpoint': No such file or directory
[09:16] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: its a var holding your username
[09:16] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: ... where is the new partition mounted?
[09:17] <truepurple> What do you mean, where?
[09:18] <TakeItEZ> truepurple:what mountpoint, what directory? then: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /ThatDirectory
[09:18] <truepurple> the thing at the beginning in gparted?
[09:18] <truepurple> dev/sda3?
[09:18] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: leafe gparted, run "mount|grep sda3"  if sda3 is the new partition
[09:18] <TakeItEZ> leave
[09:19] <Korbit> Is it safe to use DD to make a backup of / while mounted, or should I use a livecd to do that?
[09:19] <TakeItEZ> Korbit: better to use a live-cd
[09:19] <Korbit> @TakeItEZ That's what I though. Thanks
[09:20] <truepurple> TakeItEZ,  /dev/sda3 on /media/32610eef-29fb-44ef-9078-c91a2e1d20dc type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)
[09:20] <TakeItEZ> truepurple:sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/32610eef-29fb-44ef-9078-c91a2e1d20dc
[09:21] <truepurple> TakeItEZ, Ok, I can put files in it now. But the thing is, right now I am just trying to test a few things, I need a less complicated method of making these partitions work
[09:23] <LinaSovereign> Hey !
[09:24] <truepurple> So, can you help please?
[09:24]  * jdesx  Hey I just installed ubuntu 12.10 and everything finally works with it...what are some cool programs to download?
[09:26] <truepurple> TakeItEZ, ?
[09:29] <truepurple> Can anyone help me with how to make a partition open to use from the start, or at least with a few easy measures, rather then needing complicated commands?
[09:30] <dr_willis> truepurple: you add an entry if the fstab to mount it.. yiu mean?
[09:30] <dr_willis> or yoy just want it open in rhe file manager?
[09:31] <truepurple> dr_willis, I am not sure what you mean. But when I make a partition with gparted, format it and mount it, I can't put files in it, TakeItEZ gave me a set of long commands that allowed me to use it, but I am experimenting with partitions and need something simpler to make them accessible
[09:32] <dr_willis> truepurple: what filestatem did you use?
[09:32] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: it just one command you have to issue
[09:32] <truepurple> dr_willis, I was told to type "mount|grep sda3" then "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/32610eef-29fb-44ef-9078-c91a2e1d20dc"
[09:33] <truepurple> dr_willis, that long string in the second command was from the results of the first
[09:33] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: ask the gparted dev to integrate userhandling in their tool
[09:33] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you mount it somewhere. then chown it to be owned by your user
[09:34] <dr_willis> truepurple:  so is it mounted now?
[09:34] <truepurple> dr_willis, filestatem, you mean system? And yes, it is mounted
[09:34] <dr_willis> mounted where
[09:34] <truepurple> dr_willis, I do not know
[09:34] <truepurple> main area I guess?
[09:34] <dr_willis> use the mount command and look...
[09:35] <TakeItEZ> truepurple:the actual mountpoint is /media/32610eef-29fb-44ef-9078-c91a2e1d20dc
[09:35] <truepurple> there
[09:35] <truepurple> that absurdly long string
[09:35] <truepurple> I guess
[09:35] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: next time give a label to the partition you create
[09:35] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: without, it uses the UUID, hard to recall
[09:35] <dr_willis> have gparted give it a label.. and it will use that for a name.....
[09:36] <dr_willis> instead of the uuid#
[09:37] <dr_willis> you chown the mountpoint to be owned by yur user.. what is your user name yu want to access it?
[09:37] <truepurple> So I make, format, and mount the partition, then sudo chown -R $USER:$USER <label>?
[09:37] <utf> hello i have my scripts into ~/bin/bash, but then when i try to use a bash script writing the name
[09:37] <utf> it doesn't work
[09:37] <utf> where should i tell my system
[09:37] <utf> i want to include ~/bin/bash directory
[09:37] <utf> in the path
[09:37] <dr_willis> truepurple:  its allready formated you said.
[09:37] <utf> permanently ?
[09:38] <sexy_boy_21> hey, could someone help me out with ubuntu-phone??
[09:38] <StephBot> I was going to do a dist-upgrade, and when the upgrade finished fetching, I left for a moment. After back, I found that there is nowhere for me to type the password to get into the desktop. Any way to bring me back to the desktop?
[09:38] <dr_willis> utf you have a bash directory in bin? thars weird
[09:38] <truepurple> dr_willis, yes, but I am speaking of future partitions I will make too, which of course will be formated and mounted. What is your point?
[09:38] <andyegan> hello and good morning to all.
[09:38] <utf> dr_willis, yes i keep the bin directory root for my compiled files
[09:39] <utf> and the bash directory for my hand-written scripts
[09:39] <dr_willis> truepurple:  chmod and chown after mounted.. cirrect
[09:39] <truepurple> dr_willis, Is it possible to give a partition a label after making it, changing it from the UUID thing?
[09:39] <dr_willis> truepurple: yes
[09:39] <andyegan> if there is anyone here that can help wit a problem as I am new to ubuntu
[09:39] <truepurple> dr_willis, how?

[09:45] <andyegan> histo:i was trying to run a simple apt-get update followed by upgrade
[09:45] <truepurple> Histo Well dr_willis said that if I don't use a label, I have to use a long ass string command to do things like make the partition available for files. Would giving it a label after the fact be the same as giving it a label when it is made?
[09:46] <lukicat> hi folks, did an update from 11.10 to 12.04 on a thinkpad t420s. now touchpad, graphics and network is not workung. any1 an idea what to do?
[09:46] <truepurple> histo, Also, I want to be able to make partitions, format and mount em, without having to run command strings to make them open for files as well
[09:48] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you can change the label. it just may not be seen as changed untill you rebot. or theres some command i recall to make the kernel rescan the disks
[09:48] <rewarp> lukicat: Try inputting the following into Grub yet? "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
[09:48] <histo> I'm so confused.
[09:48] <dr_willis> truepurple:  and you can setup the fstab line to be like   label='labelname'  instead of 'uuid='#####'
[09:50] <truepurple> dr_willis, and is giving a unlabeled partition a label, the same as using that label from the start?
[09:50] <dr_willis> truepurple:  of course
[09:50] <dr_willis> the label from the 'start' is ""  (null)
[09:50] <dr_willis> same as renameing a drive in windows basically.. the os really  dosent care.. it uses the uuid
[09:51] <dr_willis> and you CAN  change the uuid if you  wanted to with  tune2fs
[09:51] <truepurple> dr_willis, Ok, so exactly what command do I need to run after setting up the partition, to make it open for files? And is there a way/program that will allow me to make partitions already opened or openable without command lines?
[09:51] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you make it owned by the people/groups you want to have permission for it
[09:51] <dr_willis> truepurple:  same as you  would for a directory
[09:51] <andyegan> histo:are you confused by my problem?
[09:51] <dr_willis> but you change the modes AFTER its mounted
[09:52] <dr_willis> find a gui tool to set the owner i guess.. i never looked for one.
[09:52] <truepurple> dr_willis, But none of that makes much sense to me. Of course its especially confusing since I am the one and only user, so when you talk about having it owned by other people or groups, its weird
[09:52] <dr_willis> never noticed any options for mkfs or in gparted to set the owner either.
[09:53] <dr_willis> never really looked.
[09:53] <truepurple> How about tune2fs?
[09:53] <dr_willis> truepurple:  there is NOT only ONE user.. the system has the root user. and your added user..
[09:53] <dr_willis> and other service type users
[09:53] <truepurple> Can tune2fs set ownership?
[09:53] <dr_willis> linux is multi user from the beginning
[09:53] <histo> dr_willis: why doesn't he just mount it to a different directory.
[09:54] <TakeItEZ> histo: thats not solving his problem
[09:54] <dr_willis> truepurple:  i doubt it.. since thats not its job.
[09:54] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: tune2fs cannot
[09:54] <truepurple> histo, I just make and mount, I am not picking any directory when I do so, or know how
[09:54] <histo> I though he just doesn't want to use UUID
[09:54] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you set the label when it formats and it will use that as the mount directory
[09:55] <dr_willis> well gparted can set the label befor or after formating
[09:55] <kerf> Anyone else have their ubuntu not get passed GRUB?
[09:55] <dr_willis> format, label . mount. chown.
[09:55] <truepurple> dr_willis, and if I change/add a label after formating, the mount directory changes to that?
[09:56] <dr_willis> truepurple:  the automounting serice uses the label when it first mounts the volume. next reboot.. it will use the new label. or if it gets unmounted/remounted it will use the new one.
[09:56] <dr_willis> this does NOT apply  if you  have a fstab entry for the filesystem..
[09:57] <andyegan> anyone can help with this problem please http://pastebin.com/WhgJCr7x
[09:57] <dr_willis> if this is a internal filesystem/drive. then you can just make a fstab entry to mount it whever you  want..
[09:57] <dr_willis> you  can for external media as well.. but it can be quirky
[09:57] <truepurple> dr_willis, too technical for me to understand
[09:58] <dr_willis> truepurple:  time to read some guides then i guess
[09:58] <dr_willis> security basics.. the  location has to be owned by the user, or set to allow them to access it.
[09:58] <truepurple> dr_willis, Anyway so how do I set ownership again? That is what we are talking about here, right?
[09:58] <dr_willis> the users home directory is owned by them.. as would any  external ext2/3/4 filesystems on other devices
[09:59] <dr_willis> chown command sets ownership
[09:59] <dr_willis> chmod sets modes
[09:59] <dr_willis> ls -l   in your home and look at who owns your files..
[09:59] <dr_willis> it will be your username:username
[09:59] <dr_willis> or should be at least. ;)
[10:00] <wiggmpk> dr_willis: i thought its was username:groupname?
[10:00] <dr_willis> wiggmpk:  and each user is also a member of a group the same as their username
[10:00] <TakeItEZ> since we use usergroups, its username=groupname
[10:00] <wiggmpk> dr_willis: right, was just making sure
[10:00] <dr_willis> i rarely do more advanced stuff with groups.
[10:00] <truepurple> dr_willis, The reason why I can't put files into newly created and mounted partitions is ownership hasn't been set yet, right?
[10:01] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you got it..
[10:01] <dr_willis> same reason your user cantg write to any other system directorys.. not owned by the user.
[10:01] <dr_willis> permissions Can allow more open access..  in that case
[10:01] <truepurple> dr_willis, And the only way to set that ownership is by a command line in terminal, that you know of, right?
[10:01] <dr_willis> thats why your user can 'read' from /bin/ and not write to it
[10:01] <kerf> My ubuntu 12.04LTS is having trouble booting, it seems to be related to "gettext.sh" not being found, I think.  Does anyone know a cure for this?
[10:02] <dr_willis> truepurple:  ive never needed a gui  for it..  and it must  be done with  root rights for security reasons of course
[10:02]  * jdesx what are the basic commands to enter into terminal to get sudo to work? etc
[10:02] <dr_willis> some of the file managers if ran as root mighjt be able to change owner.. but ive never reallyu looked. and  i dont reccomend  running  gui  file managers as root
[10:02] <truepurple> dr_willis, and how will this ownership setting thing work with a windows duel boot? Will I have any trouble accessing the new partition from windows?
[10:03] <truepurple> Obviously I wouldn't use ext4
[10:03] <dr_willis> truepurple:  windows dosent read ext2/3/4
[10:03] <truepurple> I know
[10:03] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: windows won't even recognise your new partition
[10:03] <dr_willis> withoug special software
[10:03] <dr_willis> truepurple:  the owner/mode stuff doess NOT apply  to vfat or ntfs filesystems
[10:03] <truepurple> dr_willis, If I don't use ext2/3/4, I don't have to set ownership?
[10:03] <dr_willis> those dont  have linux permissions or osnerships.
[10:04] <dr_willis> ntfs/vfat are owned by options used when you mount them.
[10:04] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: you have to use mountoptions instead (uid, gid, umask) when using ntfs or vfat
[10:04] <histo> !mount | truepurple
[10:04] <dr_willis> the ntfs-config tool can set those where every  user has full access. or not..
[10:05] <dr_willis> other filesystems may or may  not need ownership. or mount options..
[10:05] <histo> truepurple: May I ask how you are currenlty mounting this filesystem you created?
[10:05] <dr_willis> linux supports a huge # of filesystems
[10:06] <TakeItEZ> someone should correct the mount-factoid. one mounts filesystems not necessarily partitions
[10:07] <truepurple> histo, trying now, but mounting ntfs seems more complicated
[10:07] <histo> truepurple: mount /dev/sdx /mountpoint
[10:08] <histo> truepurple: replace sdx with the location of the ntfs partition. The default behavior is to moutn rw That's why I'm really confused here.
[10:08] <truepurple> histo why isn't the right click mount thing working with ntfs?
[10:08] <histo> truepurple: How exactly were you even trying to write to it before if you don't even know how to mount it?
[10:08] <lukicat> hi folks, did an update from 11.10 to 12.04 on a thinkpad t420s. now touchpad, graphics and network is not workung. any1 an idea what to do?
[10:09] <truepurple> histo, I am not trying to write to it yet, first I need to figure out why I can't mount it
[10:09] <dr_willis> its would be  sdx#   normally
[10:09] <dr_willis> truepurple:  so this is a ntfs now you are trying to access?
[10:09] <truepurple> histo, previous partition was ext4, now I am experimenting with ntfs. But first I need to know why nothing happens when I right click it and choose "mount"
[10:10] <TakeItEZ>  10:48 < rewarp> lukicat: Try inputting the following into Grub yet? "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux
[10:10] <TakeItEZ>                  acpi_backlight=vendor"
[10:10] <truepurple> dr_willis, this is a ntfs I am trying to mount
[10:10] <histo> truepurple: In nautilus you just click on a filesystem to mount it. Are you getting any sort of error?
[10:10] <truepurple> histo, nope, just nothing happens
[10:10] <histo> truepurple: Can you please open a terminal. and lsblk
[10:11] <dr_willis> truepurple:  if the ntfs for some reason has been marked 'unmounted uncleanly' or other wise in a bad condition. it may refuse to auto mount it. You could still try to mount it by the command line   ntfs-3g command
[10:11] <histo> truepurple: get the /dev/sdx# location for the ntfs partition.  Then mkdir /tmp/test && sudo mount /dev/sdx# /tmp/test
[10:11] <dr_willis> im not sure if nautilus gives any errors if it fails for that reason
[10:11] <StephBot> quit
[10:11] <truepurple> histo, dr_willis never mind, it was because gparted was open. Gparted is a bit of a pain that way that I have to keep closing it down to do anything with its new drives
[10:11]  * histo there is a reason I don't use NTFS
[10:12] <dr_willis> for ntfs you  would use   sudo ntfs-3g  /dev/sdX#   /media/MakeaDiretoryFirst
[10:12] <Night_Elf> Hello all. I am trying to configure a printer, Xerox WorkCentre 5645, which should do acounting and needs accounting user id and group id. It is not working and the printer gives out a page with "The job was deleted due to invalid accounting IDs". By googling, I see that many people have the same problem. So then, is there a working PPD for this printer which we can use?
[10:12] <histo> truepurple: That's actually a feature
[10:12] <dr_willis> with extra options as needed
[10:12] <dr_willis> ;)
[10:12] <truepurple> histo, How is it a good thing? Is there a way to disable this feature?
[10:12] <dr_willis> one mans bug is another mans feature
[10:12] <dr_willis> you  dont  format or resize or work on Mounted filesystems
[10:12] <histo> truepurple: No you shouldn't be editing partitions and filesystems with mounted drives
[10:13] <dr_willis> i think you can change the label  on a mounted fs..  but not much else
[10:13] <truepurple> I wouldn't
[10:13] <histo> TakeItEZ: I know most people don't even understand the difference probably how the factoid got that way.
[10:14] <truepurple> But having to open and close gparted, and enter my PW every time is a real pain
[10:14] <histo> truepurple: Why do you keep opening gparted?
[10:14] <dr_willis> i tend to use gparted like once a month. ;)
[10:14] <truepurple> histo, Because I am experimenting with partitions
[10:14] <dr_willis> truepurple:  thats the cost of experimenting
[10:14] <histo> truepurple: No way around it
[10:15] <histo> I don't use gparted
[10:15] <dr_willis> well no secure/safe way around it..
[10:15] <truepurple> If I delete a partition with data on it, is there a simply way to resurrect that partition with its data?
[10:15] <dr_willis> security should always be kept in mind.. system  seurity. system safety
[10:16] <nyuszika7h> hi, I've installed Kubuntu 12.10 using Wubi and when I boot it, I get this error:
[10:16] <dr_willis> truepurple:   theres some commands yes.. and if you really know what you  are doing they  may even work. ;)
[10:16] <dr_willis> !info testdisk
[10:16] <dr_willis> if you are really good.. you will never need to use the tools.
[10:16] <truepurple> and if your a ignorant novice, is it like playing with fire or something?
[10:17] <dr_willis> truepurple:  a good way to play with partions and filesystmes is in a vbox install. that way you cant accidently  hurt anything
[10:17] <nyuszika7h> [Loop-mounted file systems already present] The selected partition (partition 1 of /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=sda) already contains the following filesystem images: /ubuntu/disks/root.disk - Please uninstall these before trying again.
[10:17] <dr_willis> nyuszika7h:  you have used wubi befor?
[10:17] <truepurple> dr_willis, how can I hurt anything if no crucial data is on the partitions I make, modify, and destroy?
[10:17] <nyuszika7h> nope
[10:18] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you tell us.. we dont know whats on your systems.
[10:18] <histo> truepurple: When you acidentally repartition a drive you didn't mean to.
[10:18] <dr_willis> truepurple:  dont accidently  format your windows partition..
[10:18]  * dr_willis looks around and wonders who else has done this.....
[10:18] <truepurple> Ok
[10:18] <histo> truepurple: mistakes happen all the time. Why I get paid good for data recovery.
[10:18]  * dr_willis raises hand
[10:19] <truepurple> is this vbox just as easy/complicated to use as normal gparted etc?
[10:19] <nyuszika7h> I did try to shrink the NTFS partition from an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS live CD (that's the only thing I have, live USBs fail with "EDD: Error X reading sector Y"), but ntfsresize complained about missing clusters. Windows XP still boots fine.
[10:19] <dr_willis> truepurple:  also  pay  attention to the actual drives/partions.. a extrrernal drive may be sdc one time.. and sdb the next time..
[10:19] <histo> truepurple: a slip up during a dd command or a rm could really create nightmares for you as well.
[10:19] <histo> truepurple: You could create a guest and boot the gparted live cd and partition to your hearts content.
[10:20] <histo> atleast until you hit 4 primaries.
[10:20] <dr_willis> nyuszika7h:  it sounds like your windows drive may  be in a somewhat confused state. it may be worth  scannng it  for errors
[10:20] <truepurple> dr_willis, When does this sdc/sdb thing come into effect?
[10:20] <nyuszika7h> dr_willis: chkdsk?
[10:20] <histo> oh boy
[10:20] <dr_willis> truepurple:  it can depend on the order you plug them in.. or can happen at other times.. so dont realy  on  a usb you plug in to be sdb all the time...
[10:20] <truepurple> what kind of thing are you doing when that might come into play?
[10:21] <histo> truepurple: partitioning or mounting
[10:21] <dr_willis> nyuszika7h:  you  may want to ask in #windows about the best way to verify the windows files/disk
[10:21] <histo> truepurple: Take a look at the device names in gparted /dev/sda /dev/sdb etc... Those are different disks
[10:21] <nyuszika7h> ok
[10:21] <TakeItEZ> truepurple: 1st drive in system = /dev/sda, 2nd drive /dev/sdb, 3rd drive /dev/sdc ....
[10:21]  * dr_willis has like 6 extternal usb hds...
[10:21] <truepurple> But the label won't change randomly, right?
[10:21] <dr_willis> they can all be in differnt orders at each boot.
[10:21] <dr_willis> label is part of the filesystem. dosent change
[10:22] <truepurple> So if I pay attention to the label... I will know, right?
[10:22] <dr_willis> same for the uuid
[10:22] <nyuszika7h> I'll try  chkdsk /F /R C:  and  sfc /scannow
[10:22] <histo> dr_willis: What are you talking about changing at boot?
[10:22] <truepurple> Right, so if the label never changes, why should I care about sda/sdb/sdc?
[10:22] <dr_willis> histo:  i have so many usb hds and some are faster/slower then others.. so sdh one time  may  be sdk the next..
[10:22]  * dr_willis has a LOT of usb ports
[10:22] <histo> dr_willis: It's based on addresses they shouldn't be changing.
[10:23] <Ben64> usb drives could change at boot
[10:23] <Night_Elf> Hello all. I am trying to configure a printer, Xerox WorkCentre 5645, which should do acounting and needs accounting user id and group id. It is not working and the printer gives out a page with "The job was deleted due to invalid accounting IDs". By googling, I see that many people have the same problem. So then, is there a working PPD for this printer which we can use?
[10:23] <z3rongod> Swedish ubuntu channel = ?
[10:23] <dr_willis> histo:  assuming i havent moved themn.. and  i got the  power strips powered up in the  same order...
[10:23] <TakeItEZ> !se
[10:23] <dr_willis> ive seen some pcs that make whatever HD they boot from be sda... then the rest fall in line..
[10:24] <dr_willis> that really really  had me confused for a while
[10:24] <TakeItEZ> thats why we use UUIDs or labels
[10:24] <histo> nonsense
[10:24] <TakeItEZ> s-ata hotplug etc. you never can be sure that /dev/sdb always will be sdb
[10:25] <truepurple> Well I can tell which device it is by its size
[10:25] <histo> truepurple: Just use UUID
[10:25] <truepurple> histo, you mean label?
[10:25] <nyuszika7h> no, UUID
[10:25] <nyuszika7h> label works if you don't change it
[10:25] <histo> universal unique identifier
[10:25] <nyuszika7h> but the UUID never changes afaik
[10:25] <histo> nyuszika7h: you can change the UUID
[10:25] <dr_willis> i bought 2 identical external USB  hds once.. they even had the same UUID
[10:26] <nyuszika7h> you can?
[10:26] <dr_willis> that really really  confused things..
[10:26] <nyuszika7h> dr_willis: by default? nice coincidence
[10:26] <Ben64> ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[10:26] <dr_willis> you can change the UUID yes.. and it can change
[10:26] <truepurple> nyuszika7h, yeah, so if I never change the label, then what is the problem with depending on the label?
[10:26] <dr_willis> resizeing, and other things
[10:26] <dr_willis> nyuszika7h:  i think they all had the same uuid... just how they were made
[10:26] <Ben64> i like setting my own uuid
[10:26] <nyuszika7h> nothing, I guess, but if you reformat it, the label will be lost/changed
[10:26] <histo> nyuszika7h: tune2fs -U random /some/device/foo
[10:26] <Ben64> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb  6 18:57 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000064 -> ../../sdc2
[10:26] <dr_willis> uuid=000-000-000-000-0001  ;)
[10:27] <TakeItEZ> nyuszika7h: so will the UUID
[10:27] <ikonia> labels are depreciated
[10:27] <TakeItEZ> ikonia: why?
[10:27] <ikonia> TakeItEZ: they are unreliable in the event of file system corruption
[10:27] <histo> Because some no talent clown decides were all going to suffer with this new BS label UUID
[10:28] <dr_willis> new?
[10:28] <ikonia> histo: UUID is a good concept but a failure for home computing, it it will improve as it matures
[10:28] <histo> Just like the people that can't handle nic device naming changing because they can't figure out which mac is which. So now new systemd naming is all jacked up.
[10:29] <TakeItEZ> ikonia: the UUID has the same problem when fs is corupted
[10:29] <ikonia> histo: as it matures, it will become dependable
[10:29] <ikonia> TakeItEZ: no, it doesn't
[10:29] <worm> A bad thing happened when I was trying to upgrade the dist: my gdm sucked and I can't get back to the desktop. Now all I can see is just a gnome3-style volume setting button and an accessibility setting button. No user password box is shown. What can I do?
[10:29]  * dr_willis hides from systemd   ;)
[10:29] <dr_willis> that will be such a confuseing time when it gets here..
[10:30] <truepurple> dr_willis, is messing around with partitions in vbox work just like outside of vbox?
[10:30] <histo> ikonia: Really then explain how specifying a UUID won't get corrupted but specifying a label will?
[10:30] <Layke> I'm trying to get my microphone working.. where I would I do this?
[10:30] <dr_willis> truepurple:  it should.
[10:30] <histo> truepurple: yes you can even partition a file
[10:30] <lewik> How to redirect all *.local to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:30] <ikonia> histo: it's where it's written/how it's generated
[10:30] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you can have severla hds in vbox. and parition/clone/format all you want
[10:31] <histo> ikonia: Both would be stored with the filesystem if the user changes it.
[10:31] <dr_willis> truepurple:  virtual hard drives are fun.  ;)
[10:31] <ikonia> histo: no, it's basically a checksum/md5 of the disk that's written to the blkid.tab
[10:31] <ikonia> histo: corruption dosn't change that so it will still match
[10:32] <ikonia> histo: that bring different problems with it though.....
[10:32] <Dave89> every fucken virtual machine i try ubuntu on
[10:32] <Dave89> it gives this msg
[10:32] <Dave89> This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
[10:32] <TakeItEZ> ikonia: the only difference is, that lables aren't necessarily unique. the effect of a corrupted fs would be the same. blkid.tab also contains labels
[10:32] <FloodBot1> Dave89: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:32] <ikonia> Dave89: that language isn't acceptable
[10:32] <Dave89> im sick of this shit
[10:33] <Ben64> well that solved itself
[10:33] <dr_willis> 0_o
[10:33] <ikonia> TakeItEZ: not sure I agree with that,
[10:33] <dr_willis> and here i was typing an answer.. ;P
[10:33] <truepurple> So how would I use test disk to recover a deleted partition? And is there a chance of data corruption if you delete then recover a partition, assuming you don't do anything with partitioning between the two?
[10:34] <dr_willis> truepurple:  theres always a chance
[10:34] <histo> ikonia: They are both part of the filesystem I don't understand how you think corruption is not an issue.
[10:34] <ikonia> truepurple: testdisks effectivness depends on a lot of things,
[10:34] <dr_willis> truepurple:  you could set up a vbox linux  install and try it.
[10:34] <truepurple> Even if nothing is done between them?
[10:34] <truepurple> ikonia, like?
[10:35] <ikonia> truepurple: changes on the file system, which can be as small as an atime change, the physical device, the inode distribution, etc etc
[10:35] <ChrisReilly> Hello gentlemen, anyone help me with a dpkg configuration error?
[10:35] <truepurple> ikonia changes in the FS outside of the deleted partition?
[10:36] <TakeItEZ> ikonia: i'm not saying, i'm true (you're wrong). i just don't see the difference
[10:36] <TakeItEZ> ChrisReilly: just state your issue
[10:37] <ChrisReilly> dpkg --configure -a > mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/shm': File exists
[10:37] <ChrisReilly> Happened after I upgraded 12.04 > 12.10
[10:38] <vandemar> How long does it take for a bugfix like this to hit the main repos (released a week ago for Quantal, but the fixed version is still not in Precise)?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iptables/+bug/982961
[10:38] <histo> truepurple: No has nothing to do with data outside of the FS
[10:38] <histo> truepurple: You should run your own experiments and learn. Try recovering some deleted files.
[10:40] <truepurple> Is there good alternatives to test disk?
[10:40] <Layke> I'm not sure where I can manage my audio and recording devices?
[10:40] <ikonia> truepurple: have you actually lost data ?
[10:40] <Layke> I want to set up my microphone? Where would I do this?
[10:41] <worm> I had just made a mistake: I forgot to check the battery status before running dist-upgrade. My laptop had just powered off and restarted. What can I do to resume the upgrade?
[10:42] <worm> That is a distribution upgrade (from 12.10 to 13.04 alpha). Is dpkg --reconfigure -a going to solve the problem?
[10:42] <worm> dpkg --configure -a
[10:42] <truepurple> ikonia I have before, but this is more for learning the ins and outs of it for the future
[10:42] <TakeItEZ> !ringtail | worm
[10:42] <ikonia> truepurple: the tools you use and techniques will very much depend on what's happened, rather than a generic process
[10:43] <truepurple> ikonia, Let's say you simply delete the partition, then turn around and bring it back, much chance of data corruption then?
[10:43] <worm> OK, fine... so I need to wait for several months to get that problem solved...
[10:43] <ikonia> truepurple: have you done that ?
[10:43] <lukicat> [11:10:04] <TakeItEZ> no change
[10:43] <yabesd> This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
[10:44] <lukicat> fyi, foudn a solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/taglib/+bug/902603
[10:44] <yabesd> what is this problem ?
[10:44] <histo> !undelete | truepurple here read this
[10:44] <yabesd> i have a high spec pc,and it isnt working
[10:44] <histo> yabesd: Processor doesn't support it
[10:44] <yabesd> doesnt i7 support it ?
[10:44] <truepurple> Histo, that is for deleted files, not deleted partitions
[10:44] <yabesd> wtf
[10:45] <truepurple> And what FS is best for recovering lost data on?
[10:45] <histo> truepurple: Not it's not please read the first link
[10:45] <histo> yabesd: You have to look at your cpu flags to see.
[10:45] <ikonia> truepurple: there really isn't a "best"
[10:45] <TakeItEZ> i doubt there will be a 32bit-only i7 out there
[10:46] <yabesd> Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
[10:46] <yabesd> what are cpu flags ?
[10:46] <TakeItEZ> yabesd: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo
[10:46] <truepurple> What it is talking about with ext 3, does that apply to ext 4 too?
[10:46] <yabesd> what ?
[10:46] <ikonia> yabesd: it won't be your CPU, it will be the virtualization software you are running
[10:46] <yabesd> what do you recommend ?
[10:46] <ikonia> truepurple: ext4 is an evolution of ext3
[10:46] <ikonia> yabesd: what are you using ?
[10:47] <yabesd> i tried virtual box
[10:47] <vnc786> i have shared a folder thru samba with 777 but when i am mounting on other ubuntu machine it give me this error http://pastebin.com/FkQgD8Yi
[10:47] <yabesd> didnt work
[10:47] <truepurple> ikonia, I figured, so do those same issues exist on ext4, or has it evolved out of them?
[10:47] <ikonia> yabesd: virtualbox supports 64bit machines, no prboem
[10:47] <ikonia> truepurple: what issues ?
[10:47] <yabesd> i tried vm workstation
[10:47] <yabesd> didnt work
[10:47] <ikonia> yabesd: I suspect it is your config that doesn't work, as both of them support 64bit fine
[10:47] <ikonia> yabesd: is your host system running 64bit ?
[10:47] <vnc786> well  i m able to browse from xp clients...and there is already a samba share mounted
[10:48] <histo> yabesd: egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
[10:48] <yabesd> let me check
[10:48] <truepurple> ikonia, it says with ext3, you can't undelete files. Is that true of ext4 too?
[10:48] <ikonia> truepurple: should be the same
[10:48] <yabesd> yep
[10:48] <yabesd> 64 bit
[10:48] <yabesd> histo whats that ?
[10:49] <yabesd> where do i get it form ?
[10:49] <yabesd> guys
[10:49] <yabesd> i need help
[10:49] <yabesd> im sick of this
[10:50] <worm> I have a question about flashplugin-installer: Why I can finish fetching the file manually by using wget in 2 minutes, and the application needs more than one hour?
[10:50] <ikonia> yabesd: please show me the output of "uname -a" from your HOST system
[10:50] <yabesd> i got a new pc for this stuff and it turns out that they dont work
[10:50] <ikonia> yabesd: they do work, stop complaining.
[10:50] <Hackuin> Hello all :]
[10:50] <yabesd> whats uname -a
[10:50] <yabesd> how do i get it
[10:50] <an0nym0u8> hey ! Can i set up a vpn connection on ubuntu?
[10:50] <ikonia> yabesd: a command you need to put in the terminal
[10:51] <yabesd> dude im runing windoes
[10:51] <yabesd> windows*
[10:51] <ikonia> yabesd: please open the terminal on your HOST system, not the VM, and type uname -a - then past the output into this channel
[10:51] <ikonia> yabesd: right.....so why are you in #ubuntu then ?
[10:51] <yabesd> -.-
[10:51] <ikonia> yabesd: try ##windows
[10:51] <Hackuin> Need little help over here, I have few video files, of .avs format, could able to play in media player, but, the video is like fast forward. is there any avs player dedicated to ubuntu?
[10:51] <yabesd> im having a problem runnung ubuntu on a vm
[10:51] <TakeItEZ> yabesd: what error
[10:52] <Touhou11> Hackuin: VLC is a good versatile media player
[10:52] <ikonia> yabesd: the problem is the host settings not providing the guest hardware correctly
[10:52] <Hackuin> Touhou11: VLC couldn't play these files...
[10:52] <yabesd> This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
[10:52] <truepurple> Can one store a hard drive in freezing weather, and have it be alright, as long as it isn't operating while cold?
[10:52] <ikonia> yabesd: it is possible,
[10:52] <TakeItEZ> yabesd: what error you get?
[10:52] <yabesd> and how can i fi it ?
[10:52] <Ben64> thats not an ubuntu error though
[10:52] <yabesd> This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
[10:52] <Ben64> so i don't see how we could help with that
[10:52] <TakeItEZ> yabesd: what error you get?
[10:52] <meiwes> hello
[10:52] <ikonia> yabesd: you'll need to talk tot he windows guys to configure your guest hardware correctly
[10:53] <truepurple> never mind that question
[10:53] <ikonia> truepurple: try ##hardware, that's not really an ubuntu issue
[10:53] <yabesd> TakeItEZ: you trolling mate >

[10:53] <meiwes> libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[10:53] <meiwes> Couldn't load XPCOM.
[10:53] <Ben64> dude. upgrade
[10:53] <meiwes> Not an option
[10:53] <Ben64> upgrading is always an option
[10:53] <Touhou11> meiwes: What model toaster is this./
[10:53] <vandemar> yabesd: what kind of machine is it?  dell?
[10:54] <meiwes> Touhoull:Hardy
[10:54] <yabesd> asus
[10:54] <meiwes> vandemar:yea,its a  dell
[10:54] <rurufufuss> is it possible to "cache" a particular directory into the ram?
[10:54] <histo> meiwes: Why is it not an optino?
[10:54] <yabesd> ohh
[10:54] <yabesd> -_-
[10:54] <histo> rurufufuss: You can mount stuff to tmpfs
[10:54] <meiwes> histo: I use it for some other things that would cost me if i upgraded,long story.
[10:55] <ikonia> histo: can you do that with a bind to a physical directoy, so it's actually on the disk, but held in ram for access ?
[10:55] <rurufufuss> histo: so, for example, mounting a whole minecraft folder to tmpfs?
[10:55] <swaikar> ritz, hey
[10:55] <Ben64> meiwes: desktop support for 8.04 ended in 2011, its not good to use anymore
[10:55] <Ben64> meiwes: furthermore, we can't support it
[10:55] <histo> ikonia: Haven't tried that. hrm.....
[10:55] <meiwes> Ben64: we... explain
[10:55] <Ben64> we = this channel
[10:55] <histo> rurufufuss: Why are you trying to do this?
[10:55] <histo> rurufufuss: is IO your problem?
[10:56] <rurufufuss> histo: trying to speed up compilation
[10:56] <ChrisReilly> dpkg can't configure packages, gets stuck on first package initscripts. mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/shm': File exists
[10:56] <ChrisReilly> any help?
[10:56] <rurufufuss> lots of files to compile, and access to disk is pretty slow
[10:56] <meiwes> Ben64:Okay.I thought installing ff on /opt/firefox would be easy
[10:56] <histo> rurufufuss: Really how long could minecraft possibly take to compile?
[10:56] <rurufufuss> it also doesn't help that it's linking to .o files from everywhere, and not to mention the -l
[10:56] <Ben64> meiwes: not on a 5 year old install
[10:56] <rurufufuss> histo: minecraft was juts an example, it's for something else I'm developing
[10:56] <Ben64> meiwes: upgrade
[10:57] <meiwes> Ben64:I wish there was a way i could upgrade firefox only.
[10:57] <meiwes> Ben64:besides,i hate the latest version of ubuntu
[10:57] <Ben64> just upgrade the system. you've been missing security updates for almost 2 years
[10:58] <Ben64> you don't have to use unity
[10:58] <vandemar> and you might already have malware
[10:58] <ejv> 8.04, oh my lucky stars... :)
[10:58] <meiwes> WHY MUST I UPGRADE????/
[10:59] <histo> ikonia: I don't think you can. It's not a block device.
[10:59] <dr_willis> because you want newer stuff.....
[10:59] <Ben64> because you're running a 5 year old version of ubuntu!
[10:59] <Ben64> from 2008, there have been two more LTS versions since then!
[10:59] <cnf> hi, is there a guide somewhere on how to build .deb packages for kernel modules?
[10:59] <histo> rurufufuss: well tmpfs would not retain your files after reboot. So that option is outl
[10:59] <ejv> meiwes: here's one reason you should upgrade:
[10:59] <ejv> http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1/
[10:59] <rurufufuss> histo: yeah, hmm, oh well
[10:59] <ikonia> histo: does bind have to be to a block device ?
[11:00] <meiwes> Does this surprise anyone else?I want a new version of ubuntu,so what must i do,leave behind what has worked for me for 3 yrs + and install something i know nothing about.Its unfair.
[11:00] <ikonia> I thought you could do it on directories too
[11:00] <ikonia> I'm sure I have in the past
[11:00] <Ben64> ejv: i'm sure there are hundreds more reasons
[11:00] <ejv> yea but that's a major reason lol
[11:00] <ikonia> meiwes: you don't have to change anything
[11:00] <TakeItEZ> there is no need for  blockdevice
[11:00] <Ben64> meiwes: thats a silly mentality
[11:00] <ikonia> meiwes: you can use whatever version you want
[11:00] <dr_willis> meiwes:  people said same thing about windows 1.0
[11:01] <meiwes> Ben64:I meant a newer version of firefox
[11:01] <Ben64> why not just use a 486 with windows 3.1?
[11:01] <ejv> let him use 8.04 if he/she wants to; we simply don't have to support him/her. ;)
[11:01] <histo> ikonia: well if it's bind mounted would it cache automatically?
[11:01] <ikonia> histo: I don't know without looking to be honest
[11:01] <dr_willis> you are usng the windows 95 of ubuntu..   ;-)
[11:02] <ejv> no, the windows 95 of buntu was 6.06
[11:02] <meiwes> dr_willis:if it works,why upgrade
[11:02] <Ben64> 8.04 was great... before 2010
[11:02] <vandemar> meiwes: because it's not supported, which means bugs and security problems
[11:02] <meiwes> I could just upgrade firefox to newer firefox,problem solved,but that's not possible.
[11:02] <dr_willis> meiwes:  one word.... security
[11:02] <Touhou11> meiwes: If you want an OS which is supported for much longer, you should try Windows to be honest. You can still get the latest software for XP which released 11 years ago
[11:02] <Ben64> meiwes: no, that would not solve your problems
[11:02] <ikonia> meiwes: when canonical drops a distro's support, it gets no updates
[11:03] <vandemar> meiwes: do you want your bank accounts hijacked?  email hijacked?  do you want your computer to be part of some botnet?
[11:03] <Ben64> Touhou11: theres a lot of stuff that is windows 7/8 only now
[11:03] <meiwes> vandemar:Nope,that would be scary.
[11:03] <ikonia> meiwes: so you have choices a.) upgrade ubuntu to a supported version b.) stay with the last versions canonical support c.) build and maintain your own software on 8.04
[11:03] <ikonia> meiwes: you need to pick one of those options.
[11:03] <ejv> ok meiwes knows what he must do; let's not fall any further down this rabbit hole...
[11:03] <ejv> :)
[11:03] <ChrisReilly> Guys, guys, help me fix dpkg
[11:04] <ChrisReilly> it's getting stuck on initscripts after an update
[11:04] <histo> I'm running 5.04 here
[11:04] <Ben64> i'm on redhat 7, its the best
[11:04] <ChrisReilly> error is this: Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu11.1) ...

[11:04] <ikonia> ChrisReilly: what version of ubuntu are you running
[11:04] <ChrisReilly> 12.10
[11:04] <histo> And my server is 4.10
[11:05] <ikonia> ChrisReilly: and you upgraded from what version ?
[11:05] <ChrisReilly> 12.04
[11:05] <ikonia> ChrisReilly: ok, did the upgrade complete sucessfuly
[11:05] <n0-clu-0b> hi all
[11:05] <ChrisReilly> It was a little bit... shakey
[11:05] <ChrisReilly> I got the same errors
[11:05] <TakeItEZ> histo:some people do stupid things :)
[11:05] <ikonia> ChrisReilly: could you expand on that please
[11:05] <ChrisReilly> ikonia: dpkg complained at the end of the upgrade
[11:06] <ikonia> ChrisReilly: it's imporatnat to know the state of your machine
[11:06] <histo> I actually still have a 4.10 CD laying around. Was going through some old stuff.
[11:06] <ChrisReilly> ikonia: the same error, failed on initscripts, then (as it was a dependency) the remaining 8 or so packages failed
[11:07] <n0-clu-0b> can anybody help me with  vmware tools install
[11:07] <histo> !anyone | n0-clu-0b
[11:07] <ejv> yea, i've never, ever trusted ubuntu's upgrade tool; i prefer the time-tested burn disk / fresh install pathway to englightenment.
[11:07] <TakeItEZ> histo: i also have my slackware2-cd from 94, just no hardware/vm to install it on.
[11:08] <ChrisReilly> ejv: would have done so, but the box is a VM in a datacentre
[11:08] <ejv> a VM? should be easy then to wipe it out if need be
[11:08] <n0-clu-0b> point taken. lot to learn first time in irc
[11:08] <silv3r_m00n> how can apt-get be used to search for a package in the installed packages only ?
[11:09] <ChrisReilly> ejv: relatively so, but it's a little bit of a headache: the staff there don't get back to you very quickly
[11:09] <TakeItEZ> silv3r_m00n: dpkg -l '*pattern*'
[11:09] <histo> silv3r_m00n: dpkg -l | grep  patter
[11:09] <ejv> silv3r_m00n: man dpkg
[11:09] <n0-clu-0b> does anybody know how to install vmware tools
[11:09] <ChrisReilly> ejv: so if they don't pull off an image, I'll have to do it myself
[11:10] <dr_willis> !vmware
[11:10] <silv3r_m00n> TakeItEZ: can't be done with apt-get or aptitude ?
[11:10] <TakeItEZ> silv3r_m00n: aptitude should do, apt-get... i doubt
[11:10] <histo> silv3r_m00n: can you kill a fly with a sledge hammer?
[11:10] <silv3r_m00n> TakeItEZ: aptitude search firefox shows all packages that are named firefox, I want only the installed ones, preferably without doing a grep
[11:11] <Ben64> then use dpkg...?
[11:11] <dr_willis> gee soo picky
[11:11] <TakeItEZ> silv3r_m00n: you need switches, man aptitude (was it ~i?)
[11:11] <ChrisReilly> ikonia: I've googled around for the problem, and I think it's marked as a bug. But why is the configure script trying to create a directory that already exists anyways?
[11:11] <Night_Elf> Hello all. I am trying to configure a printer, Xerox WorkCentre 5645, which should do acounting and needs accounting user id and group id. It is not working and the printer gives out a page with "The job was deleted due to invalid accounting IDs". By googling, I see that many people have the same problem. So then, is there a working PPD for this printer which we can use?
[11:12] <TakeItEZ> silv3r_m00n: aptitude search '~i' firefox
[11:12] <TakeItEZ> silv3r_m00n: like that
[11:12] <Ben64> ChrisReilly: you should really pastebin some stuff

[11:16] <Physicist> Anybody can help me?
[11:16] <vandemar> which version of ubuntu?
[11:16] <truepurple> histo oops messed up, the mirror partitions have the same name, but are unmountable

[11:17] <Physicist> dr_willis:
[11:17] <dr_willis> hmmm?
[11:17] <ejv> If you think it's a bug, then check out the project's launchpad, and see if it's been entered; if not, open a new bug.

[11:24] <sjihs> Hi all, 'sudo apt-get install debootstrap' results in a 'defunct' dpkg process. Because of this I am unable to upgrade other packages.

[11:25] <ChrisReilly> roger
[11:25] <sjihs> i am using ubuntu 12.04

[11:26] <sjihs> tozen: That again fails with a defunct dpkg process
[11:27] <Ben64> ChrisReilly: oh a vps?
[11:27] <ChrisReilly> Ben64: I mentioned that, I'm sure. Sorry.
[11:27] <Ben64> ChrisReilly: you'll probably need to contact your provider then
[11:28] <Ben64> ChrisReilly: you probably did mention it, but lots of lines go by here, its easy to miss stuff
[11:28] <tozen> sjinhh: pastebin the error please
[11:28] <tozen> sjihs: pastebin the error please
[11:28] <sjihs> tozen: ok

[11:30] <Meyer2436> I've a problème with driver install for NVIDIA GC ( i need to because ubuntu is too slow ) but every proprietary driver doesn't work properly ( fast but no bar no icon and a 1024*768 resolution ) i tried to install NVIDIA drivers directly from the website but to install the command with ./N does not work
[11:30] <Meyer2436> Thank you
[11:33] <k1l> Meyer2436: which card do you have and why dont you try the nvidia-current (or the experimental) from the repo?
[11:33] <Meyer2436> GT520 but i triied a
[11:33] <Meyer2436> And this does not work*
[11:34] <k1l> you are sure you have the headers installed and the modul is build and running?
[11:35] <Meyer2436> Before changing anything all works good but very slow
[11:35] <Meyer2436> Headers and modul???
[11:36] <GeorgeJ_> I've installed ubuntu on a ssd. I've got LVM setup, and a sepparate partition for /home.
[11:36] <sjihs> tozen: http://pastie.org/6315942
[11:36] <GeorgeJ_> I'm trying to run fstrim -v /, but I get fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported. When running it on /home. There is no such issue.
[11:36] <sjihs> that is the error msg
[11:36] <k1l> Meyer2436: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current"
[11:37] <GeorgeJ_> There's only one virtual group, and it only has one physical partition in it.
[11:37] <k1l> Meyer2436: after that show the whole output in a pastebin please
[11:37] <GeorgeJ_> Why can I run fstrim on /home and not on /?
[11:37] <sjihs> tozen: 3685 pts/6    00:00:00 dpkg-deb <defunct>
[11:37] <Meyer2436> I'm on my phone to talk
[11:38] <k1l> Meyer2436: keep the support in here, please
[11:39] <Meyer2436> No problem but is there irc on ubuntu at the start?
[11:39] <ikonia> GeorgeJ_: are you getting an error ?
[11:39] <ikonia> Meyer2436: "at the start" ?
[11:39] <tozen> sjihs: gimme a min
[11:39] <Meyer2436> By default*
[11:39] <sjihs> tozen: sure
[11:39] <ikonia> Meyer2436: what do you mean ?
[11:39] <GeorgeJ_> ikonia: Yes, I am, I've said so earlier.
[11:39] <ikonia> GeorgeJ_: I didn't see it so I can't help, sorry
[11:39] <ikonia> good luck
[11:40] <Meyer2436> I have installed no a
[11:40] <GeorgeJ_> This is the error I'm getting: fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported
[11:40] <Meyer2436> Programs for now
[11:40] <ikonia> GeorgeJ_: that looks like the file system will not support it
[11:40] <utf> exit
[11:40] <utf> (you fail)
[11:41] <GeorgeJ_> Both / and /home reside on the same LVM virtual group, which only has one physical partition in it(which is on te ssd).
[11:41] <GeorgeJ_> running fstrim on /home works just fine.
[11:41] <GeorgeJ_> Both are ext4, mounted with the same options
[11:42] <Meyer2436> k1l: finishing install
[11:44] <Meyer2436> So what do i do now
[11:44] <k1l> Meyer2436: ok, can you show the output in a pastebin?
[11:45] <Meyer2436> What does it mean? Copy all the terminal and paste it here?
[11:45] <k1l> !paste | Meyer2436
[11:45] <GeorgeJ_> I didn't have this issue on 13.04, so perhaps it might be a known bug.
[11:46] <Meyer2436> If i do not have IRC on my pc can i do it?
[11:46] <tozen> sjihs: did u tried to reinstall it? sudo apt-get install --reinstall debootstrap
[11:47] <k1l> Meyer2436: you get a short link, that can you post over your phone here. or use empathy, xchat or irssi to start irc on that computer
[11:47] <sjihs> tozen: That again results in a defunct dpkg-deb process
[11:48] <cnf> right
[11:48] <cnf> back to compiling kernel modules for other machines
[11:49] <cnf> failing miserably atm :/
[11:49] <Meyer2436> Used paste.ubuntu.com but an error occured.. ( sorry )
[11:49] <alabah> hello
[11:49] <alabah> hey
[11:50] <tozen> sjihs: so what u can try to do is: sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status and find the block named debootstrap after you'll need to delete all info between <Package Name: debootstrap> till the next <Package Name:>
[11:50] <sjihs> tozen: ok. I will try that now
[11:50] <tozen> sjihs: then sudo apt-get -f install
[11:53] <Meyer2436> Please...
[11:54] <k1l> Meyer2436: mark that text in the terminal, copy that into the pastbin site and clikc enter. show the new url here. (its like uploading a picture)
[11:55] <Meyer2436> I did it but does not work
[11:55] <Meyer2436> ( an error occured )
[11:56] <Meyer2436> Ah
[11:56] <tozen> sjihs: i mean from <Package name: debootstrap> till next <Package name:>
[11:56] <Meyer2436> Hold on a sec
[11:56] <cnf> Jewfro-Macabbi: why the hell are you pasting me random stuff in pm?

[11:57] <tozen> vlad_starkov: otkuda ty, brat?
[11:58] <tvw> Hi, can someone respond to this? I want to know how the notification works in unity, when someone responds to me.
[11:58] <AlanBell> tvw: this isn't the best channel to use for testing things, but here you go
[11:59] <tozen> tvw: what really do u mean?
[11:59] <tvw> AlanBell: I know, but it worked.
[11:59] <k1l> Meyer2436: "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."
[11:59] <cnf> weird o,O
[12:00] <k1l> Meyer2436: that is the problem. you need the kernel headers installed
[12:00] <Meyer2436> What can i do?
[12:00] <Meyer2436> Please* ;)
[12:01] <cnf> damnit, i don't get why my kernel modules won't run on any system it wasn't compiled on
[12:02] <k1l> Meyer2436: "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic"
[12:02] <k1l> Meyer2436: shot that output again in a pastebin
[12:02] <tvw> tozen: I am new to unity and wonder a bit, whether and how the notification works with konversation, since it does not display an icon in the tray like in the gnome desktop.
[12:03] <Meyer2436> Now i cannot because xserver crashed so i  restarted and now i have no interface exept my mouse and my wallpaper
[12:03] <Meyer2436> I managed to launch the terminal with ctrl alt t
[12:05] <Meyer2436> Install done but how could i launch firefox with the terminal to send you pastebin plz
[12:06] <Touhou11> Ubuntu Pastebin appears to be broken
[12:06] <jpds> Touhou11: How so?
[12:07] <sjihs> tozen: At my work place, we have a local repository for pkgs provided by my company. When executing 'sudo apt-get -f install', dpkg fails to configure these packages
[12:07] <One-Man-Bucket> hello, after applying updates today my gnome-classic shell added unity
[12:07] <One-Man-Bucket> what's up with that, and how can i revert it?
[12:07] <Touhou11> jpds: When submitting the form, it gives an error and tells you to contact the admin, but doesn't give any email
[12:07] <sjihs> tozen: I am sorry that I cannot paste the error msg, since it is against the work rules
[12:07] <Meyer2436> k1l: ?
[12:07] <jpds> Touhou11: Interesting, checking.
[12:08] <k1l> Meyer2436: alt+f2 and type firefox
[12:09] <leonardo_> panino tirolese
[12:09] <k1l> Meyer2436: did it say it installed the kernel headers for your kernel? like 3.5.0-17 was your kernel i think
[12:09] <sjihs> tozen: Do you have any other suggestions
[12:10] <Meyer2436> I see a 3.5.0-25
[12:11] <Meyer2436> setting linux-headers-3.5.0-25 etc...
[12:11] <tozen> sjihs: sorry i've none
[12:11] <sjihs> tozen: np. Thanks for your help
[12:11] <One-Man-Bucket> anyone?
[12:11] <k1l> Meyer2436: ok what does "uname - a" tell you?
[12:11] <k1l> Meyer2436: that will name the kernel you are running. you need that kernel headers for that because with that kernel headers the nvidia driver can be build properly.
[12:12] <Meyer2436> 3.5.0-17-generic
[12:13] <cabee> hi guys, having a problem with rxtx libs.used minicom but it failed. Then installed rxtx and the reader connects but seems to not open any serial port.any1 know what the problem coulb be?
[12:13] <aarfer> hello, i just installed my OS, and i did this:  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa   then after, this:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings                  at this site:  http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/
[12:13] <sjihs> tozen: I got 'sudo apt-get -f install' to return normally (i.e. without error code)
[12:14] <aarfer> now when i just rebooted, my screen is black, but the mouse is there.... and can move around.
[12:14] <tozen> sjihs: so?
[12:14] <sjihs> tozen: should i just do 'apt-get upgrade' now?
[12:14] <sjihs> to get rid of the debootstrap issue
[12:14] <tozen> sjihs: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:15] <sjihs> tozen: ok
[12:15] <an0nym0u8> Hey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:16] <k1l> Meyer2436: ok. we do 2 commands now: the first one to make sure the kernel headers for that kernel get installed and the reinstall the nvidia driver to get build proberly. wait a sec
[12:16] <tozen> sjihs: also don't forget to activate restricted and recommended updates ;)
[12:16] <Meyer2436> Thank you
[12:16] <sjihs> tozen: ok
[12:17] <an0nym0u8>  /msg alis anon * -min30
[12:17] <k1l> Meyer2436: "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic" and after that
[12:17] <One-Man-Bucket> latest automatic updates broke gnome-classic (now starts unity), how do i fix this?
[12:17] <srinivas> hi i accidentally executed sudo apt-get remove python
[12:17] <k1l> Meyer2436: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current"
[12:18] <srinivas> so i tried to connect to wifi to get my packages reinstall..so i have executed sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "name" key "password"
[12:19] <srinivas> but it is giving me errors saying that "SET failed on device wlan0;Invalid argument"
[12:20] <Meyer2436> k1l: Done
[12:20] <srinivas> hi i accidentally executed sudo apt-get remove python, so i tried to connect to wifi to get my packages reinstall..so i have executed sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "name" key "password",but it is giving me errors saying that "SET failed on device wlan0;Invalid argument"
[12:21] <k1l> Meyer2436: take a look at the last command if it still says: "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."
[12:21] <Meyer2436> I don't see it at the finish
[12:22] <ubuntuw1204> is there an official ubuntu gnome distro?
[12:22] <k1l> Meyer2436: ok than make a reboot
[12:22] <k1l> ubuntuw1204: if you mean "gubuntu" no official one so far
[12:23] <Physicist> I am really trouble.. Again, whemn I close my laptop my system crash anb I have to restart to use..
[12:23] <Physicist> *when*
[12:23] <L3mce> if I install a backported kernel image, can i leave the headers alone?
[12:24] <L3mce> meaning keep the current headers version
[12:24] <Physicist> I read the page of lanchpad, but, do not resolved.
[12:25] <Meyer2436> k1l: It seems to work faster thank you
[12:26] <k1l> Meyer2436: ok. it should load the nvidia driver now
[12:26] <Meyer2436> k1l: ?
[12:27] <Meyer2436> k1l: what do you mean , load itself or i should be able to install it?
[12:27] <k1l> Meyer2436: you have the right driver now
[12:27] <Noorideen> Unity > gnome3?
[12:27] <Meyer2436> k1l: ah ok thank you a lot
[12:33] <Physicist_> I found one thing.
[12:33] <joelio> hmm... cifs mounting in 12.04 is broken (has been working and is broken across my estate of dozens of machines)
[12:33] <joelio> I'm getting codepage errors
[12:33] <joelio> Fefora mounts fine the same shares
[12:33] <joelio> so does windows, OSX
[12:33] <joelio> Ubuntu is broken
[12:34] <joelio> I can successfully smbclient, but mount -t cifs ... broken
[12:34] <Physicist_> Bug #995013 - "xorg freeze"
[12:35] <Physicist_> ubottu: yes little robot!!
[12:37] <max3> is it possible to have different workspaces on different monitors on a dual monitor setup?
[12:37] <jm_> no
[12:37] <max3> are you sure?
[12:37] <jm_> no
[12:39] <L3mce> Physicist_: I did not see your original issue... but that bug is particularly annoying for me.
[12:41] <sjihs> tozen: Thanks a lot. It works fine now.
[12:41] <L3mce> !info i965-va-driver | Physicist_ I find this improves the performance of all intel for some reason, however is very unlikely to resolve that bug. I am not on your release.
[12:42] <dbe> I need a user to pastebin some data; is there a pastebin package that I can pipe data into and it'll output a URL?

[12:42] <L3mce> np
[12:43] <Physicist_> L3mce: When I close my laptop, it crash.. It not configured to suspend - "do nothing" - Me too actually, is not my problem. I just saw!!
[12:44] <Vulcano> hey can anyone help me install and configure ZNC on Cygwin?
[12:44] <Physicist_> My system is not an Intel. APU AMD 3500 - Radeon 6620G - 64bit
[12:44] <L3mce> That's... weird... lemme think... dont have coffee yet.
[12:45] <L3mce> sorry Physicist_ was just looking at your bug, which is related to the intel gpu stuffs... are you running fglrx?
[12:46] <Physicist_> L3mce: No. 13.2 Beta driver AMD.. I did a clean installation. All dependencies right.
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> Physicist_:you could try a 'nomodeset' option to boot just to test out
[12:50] <L3mce> Physicist_: for the record that is fglrx. +1 lotuspsychje might also try no-acpi (let me check that is the correct verbiage)
[12:51] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | Physicist_
[12:52] <Asad2005> What is the channel name for ubuntu touch?
[12:52] <DJones> Asad2005: #ubuntu-touch
[12:52] <grizmawe> Asad2005, for the phone? #ubuntu-phone
[12:52] <DJones> Asad2005: You could also try #ubuntu-phone or #ubuntu-tablet
[12:53] <Physicist_> Thank you all. I will see and return to tell.
[12:53] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu tablet..exciting :p
[12:53] <Physicist_> I am in the school now. :-)
[12:53] <Touhou11> Whatever happened to Ubuntu TV? Vaporware?
[12:53] <L3mce> Physicist_: acpi=off I believe is correct
[12:54] <fasfasf> hi
[12:55] <Physicist_> L3mce: Ok. Got it.
[12:57] <marcusraven> I'm trying to setup encrypted home partition; I have the correct entry in /etc/crypttab, the correct entry in /etc/fstab, and have loaded "dm-mod" and "dm-crypt" in /etc/modules. However, during boot i'm not asked for my password, and /dev/mapper/linux-encr-home device is never created. I have to manually run "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda4 linux-encr-home" and then mount my home dir. So it only works when run manually after boot, not during boo
[12:57] <marcusraven> t process...
[12:57] <johnflux_> L3mce: hi - sorry I saw you talking about the intel drivers
[12:57] <marcusraven> Also, using 12.04
[12:58] <johnflux_> L3mce: I have the i915 chipset, and I get video screen corruption
[13:01] <L3mce> Hi johnflux_ have you tried the driver mentioned there?
[13:01] <L3mce> it isnt really a driver
[13:01] <eric_99> I have ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, but when I try cat /etc/debian_version it gives me wheezy/sid... wheezy/sid is testing/unstable debian version... Why does it give me that?
[13:01] <L3mce> it is a compliment of sorts... however it makes everything happier... most especially what it was intended for... your chipset.
[13:02] <DJones> eric_99: No idea why it does that, but I get the same on 12.10
[13:02] <rurufufuss> so I just got an SSD drive installed. How do I mount it so I can access it without being root (so it's like a normal folder etc)?
[13:03] <L3mce> rurufufuss: mount requires root priv.
[13:03] <L3mce> access does not

[13:03] <aarfer> hi. i just installed nvidia drivers. now i have a black screen and can't do anything useful.
[13:03] <aarfer> this sucks.
[13:03] <Ogham> Does anyone have the new Dell project sputnik ultrabook with ubuntu?
[13:03] <L3mce> aarfer: how did you install the drivers?
[13:04] <rurufufuss> L3mce: so basically, I have to mount it to a local folder after logging in all the time?
[13:04] <L3mce> !anyone | Ogham
[13:04] <Ogham> ....
[13:04] <lotuspsychje> rurufufuss:ntfs or ext?
[13:04] <rurufufuss> lotuspsychje: ext3
[13:04] <L3mce> rurufufuss: you can put it in /etc/fstab
[13:05] <aarfer> L3mce,  i added a ppa, and then did the sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings nvidia-current
[13:05] <L3mce> !ppa
[13:05] <lotuspsychje> !ask | Ogham
[13:05] <Ogham> Dell Project Sputnik Ultrabook - Please, want lspci output :)

[13:06] <lotuspsychje> !patience | aarfer
[13:06] <aarfer> i have a geforce 6800.
[13:06] <alvesjnr> do you know any tutorial/howto/cookbook to port quickly-created applications to run on Windows?
[13:06] <L3mce> !ssh | aarfer
[13:07] <johnflux_> alvesjnr: written in which language?
[13:07] <lotuspsychje> Ogham: this is a support channel mate, if you just tell us what you want to ask?
[13:07] <srhb> alvesjnr: That depends so much on what kind of application and what it's written in.
[13:07] <Ogham> lotuspsychje: I'd like to see the lspci output for the new Dell Ultrabook (developer edition with ubuntu)
[13:07] <lotuspsychje> Ogham:for what purpose
[13:08] <aarfer> it's quicker to format it than to fail at fixing it.
[13:08] <Ogham> lotuspsychje: To get an idea of what hardware is onboard.
[13:08] <alvesjnr> johnflux_: python
[13:08] <L3mce> aarfer: Not really. Try booting with the nomodeset option.
[13:08] <lotuspsychje> !offtopic | 0gham
[13:08] <johnflux_> alvesjnr: using which gui toolkit?
[13:08] <Ogham> Jesus Wept
[13:08]  * Ogham eats a yellow mold
[13:09] <L3mce> !nomodeset | aarfer
[13:09] <alvesjnr> srhb: my app is windows compatible, my issue is with the GUI
[13:09] <alvesjnr> johnflux_: gtk
[13:09] <srhb> alvesjnr: Some of the common Python GUI toolkits are completely portable.
[13:09] <srhb> Well, at least tkinter is :-)
[13:09] <johnflux_> alvesjnr: maybe then
[13:10] <srhb> alvesjnr: With PyGTK for Windows you should be all set.
[13:10] <alvesjnr> srhb: I'll google it. Tks
[13:13] <medeman> Hey guys, I'm using an Acer Aspire One 756 11,6" Notebook with Ubuntu 12.10 64-Bit - and it's a bit weird
[13:13] <lotuspsychje> medeman:what your issue
[13:13] <medeman> Sometimes everything runs "butter-smooth", but then sometimes the Unity animations freeze or look weird
[13:14] <lotuspsychje> medeman:did you enabled network boot in BIOS?
[13:14] <medeman> I think it was activated by default, but I'm booting from HDD
[13:15] <lotuspsychje> medeman: aspire one got win7 by default right, i had to enable network boot to not freeze ubuntu
[13:16] <medeman> I got it without OS, I think some CLI-only linux came pre-installed but I replaced that with Ubuntu 12.10
[13:16] <medeman> It's not freezing, it is just not running as smooth as it should sometimes, while other times it works very well
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> medeman: i would try this option mate, see what it does
[13:17] <medeman> Okay I'll see what it does, brb
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> medeman: my acer netbook works flawless now on 12.10 64bit
[13:17] <medeman> And, thank you
[13:17] <lotuspsychje> np
[13:20] <capoderra1> I saw a video on youtube of someone who showed all his ubuntu applications and he had "nvidia settings".  Why don't I have that?
[13:21] <MonkeyDust> capoderra1  better start from the beginning, what have you tried before you came here... in one line
[13:21] <medeman> lotuspsychje, network boot is enabled
[13:21] <ubuntuw1204> how much data do i download if i use ubuntu minimal.iso
[13:22] <capoderra1> I tried click on "additional drivers" but it didn't list anything.  I have a nvidia geforce 310m
[13:22] <lotuspsychje> medeman:cool mate, check this url http://askubuntu.com/questions/82724/aspire-one-freezing-due-to-network
[13:23] <Physicist> nomodeset did not work. Crash in the same way.
[13:23] <ubuntuw1204> and is there any rolling ubuntu distro?
[13:24] <Physicist> ubuntuw1204: I believe not!
[13:24] <lotuspsychje> Physicist:did you clean install or upgrade
[13:24] <medeman> lotuspsychje, it's not freezing completely - it never crashed actually - it just feels weird because sometimes the GUI is super-smooth and sometimes the animations are all like 5 FPS or so...
[13:24] <capoderra1> MonkeyDust, I tried to click on "additional drivers" but it didn't list anything.  I have a nvidia geforce 310m
[13:25] <ubuntuw1204> Physicist: how much data is dowloaded in ubuntu minimal cd install process>
[13:25] <lotuspsychje> medeman: strange, i have no animation issues here
[13:25] <Moka> hi
[13:26] <Physicist> lotuspsychje: No. Clean install - Kubuntu 12.10
[13:26] <ubuntuw1204> which rolling distro should i use?
[13:27] <medeman> I mean I'm not expecting ultra performance from a netbook, but the GUI should run smooth at least - seeing that the Amazon ratings suggest that it runs butter-smooth with Windows 7 for example
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> capoderra1  start here and repeat your question ever 10 minutes, until someone enters who can help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
[13:27] <Physicist> ubuntuw1204: 720mb more or less..
[13:27] <Physicist> depend.
[13:27] <ubuntuw1204> ok
[13:28] <Physicist> ubuntuw1204: look at Home Ubuntu official site.
[13:28] <capoderra1> MonkeyDust, thanks buddy
[13:28] <Physicist> I come back later, I am a little busy... Thanks
[13:28] <medeman> lotuspsychje, I mean even some games run very well for a netbook - like Minecraft ~28FPS - and GUI shouldn't be as demanding as a game, right?
[13:29] <lotuspsychje> medeman: i have no trouble on my netbook here, did you also clean install 12.10?
[13:29] <ubuntuw1204> Physicist: where exactly at home ubuntu?
[13:29] <ubuntuw1204> is there any alternate to ubuntu rolling distro?
[13:30] <OerHeks> ubuntuw1204, ubuntu is NOT a rolling distro.
[13:30] <elijah> How would I find out when Compiz <IP_ADDRESS> is going to get pulled into 12.04?
[13:30] <medeman> Oh now the software update doesn't work anymore: W:Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-updates/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[13:30] <medeman> , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[13:30] <elijah> Current is Compiz <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:31] <ubuntuw1204> OerHeks: I know , that is why i want to know any alternate stable ubuntu distro which is rolling?
[13:31] <lotuspsychje> medeman: no i mean did you clean install 12.10 fresh or did you update from previous ubuntu version?
[13:32] <OerHeks> ubuntuw1204, rolling ?
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> elijah  in 12.10 it's compiz <IP_ADDRESS> ... so maybe if you used backports you'd get a newer version
[13:32] <ubuntuw1204> OerHeks: yes!
[13:32] <OerHeks> ubuntuw1204, what do you mean with rolling ? ubuntu is not.
[13:33] <medeman> lotuspsychje, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 fresh from USB - I created a new partition table and then let the Ubuntu installer do the rest
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> medeman:should run smooth, did your grafix card install proper driver?
[13:35] <medeman> lotuspsychje, I don't know, but as I said, many games perform pretty OK for a netbook so I think it was installed properly - but now that you ask, I remember that the Steam Big Picture Mode for example produced some graphical glitches like only showing half of the buttons - also Minecraft had flickering chunks very often
[13:35] <lotuspsychje> medeman: check lspci for your grafix card plz
[13:37] <medeman> lotuspsychje, paste.ubuntu.com doesn't work for me "An error has occured"
[13:38] <lotuspsychje> medeman: lshw -c video
[13:38] <lotuspsychje> medeman: and check card brand and driver activated for it
[13:38] <medeman> lotuspsychje, oh okay...
[13:40] <lotuspsychje> medeman: i got this: product: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6290]  driver=radeon
[13:41] <medeman> lotuspsychje, well I think it's some Intel HD graphics
[13:41] <medeman> lotuspsychje, http://pastebin.com/QJzgRRkH
[13:42] <lotuspsychje> medeman: not sure about intel graphics card issues on acer and ubuntu
[13:43] <medeman> lotuspsychje, hmm okay...33MHz seems a little slow to me, or is it without some multiplicator stuff?
[13:43] <lotuspsychje> medeman: i915 drivers seems activated
[13:43] <medeman> lotuspsychje, and is that good?
[13:44] <mskau> Need help: No screen output on newly installed 12.10 server (only virtual machine host added to default settings)
[13:44] <lotuspsychje> medeman: that driver is installed is a good thing for ubuntu, but im not sure about how good your card performs
[13:44] <MonkeyDust> mskau  #ubuntu-server
[13:44] <lotuspsychje> medeman: ##hardware might know it for you
[13:44] <mskau> Ok, thx
[13:45] <medeman> lotuspsychje, okay...Well I don't think it's a powerhouse, but it should handle GUI well seeing that it runs well with Windows 7 Aero
[13:45] <lotuspsychje> medeman: maybe some bugs on intel and ubuntu, not sure bout it
[13:45] <lotuspsychje> medeman: or other workarounds
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> medeman: reask your issue once in a while in chat on your lags and card brand
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> someone might know
[13:46] <medeman> lotuspsychje, hmm okay thank you
[13:47] <someone235> when I do the cmd: "php /home/posFinder/script.php > /home/posFinder/log/script 2>$1" I Get "-bash: $1: ambiguous redirect". How can I fix this?
[13:48] <jrib> someone235: change $ to &
[13:49] <lotuspsychje> medeman: you can also try nomodeset

[13:50] <lobato> Why ubuntu 12.04 never shutdown?
[13:50] <medeman> lotuspsychje, okay, thank you
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> lobato  in a terminal, type sudo shutdown -h now   does that work?
[13:51] <lobato> yes, i'm aware of the commands

[13:57] <amrit> plz anyone help
[13:57] <amrit> it is creating a serious issue.
[13:57] <lobato> lotuspsychje,  wich log file is?
[13:57] <Night_Elf> Hello all. I am trying to configure a printer, Xerox WorkCentre 5645, which should do acounting and needs accounting user id and group id. It is not working and the printer gives out a page with "The job was deleted due to invalid accounting IDs". By googling, I see that many people have the same problem. So then, is there a working PPD for this printer which we can use?
[13:57] <dr_willis> and how did you install it? amrit
[13:58] <lotuspsychje> lobato: kern.log
[13:58] <dr_willis> Night_Elf: checked askubuntu.com yet?
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> amrit  what's crossplatformui ?
[13:59] <Night_Elf> dr_willis: not yet. But have seen some other places around on the net. With the same outcome. Will check there too then.
[13:59] <lobato> what shall i look for on this log. seems all normal
[14:00] <nino_> Hello everyone,
[14:00] <nino_> Does anyone know why i cant go in ubuntu anymore after kernel upgrade from 3.2.0-23-generic to linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic??? I only get a black screen i want to go in the new kernel. If i go to the previous one everything is fine.
[14:00] <Night_Elf> dr_willis: It would also seem that this is not only Ubuntu speciffic, but somehow a more generic issue with the PPD file (maybe).
[14:00] <amrit> i dont remeber, i had a reliance datacard and ubuntu 10.04 , i tried installing it , i manuall changed sone configuration files, still it did not help. after upgrading to 12.04 computer said it failed to remove crossplatformui. now whenever im trying to upgrade or download any software this crossplatformui is creating problem
[14:00] <rurufufuss> so I just made a ramdisk by doing  "sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=2048M tmpfs ramtest"
[14:00] <rurufufuss> how do I unmount that?
[14:00] <lotuspsychje> lobato: http://askubuntu.com/questions/155733/ubuntu-12-04-not-shutting-down-properly
[14:01] <amrit> its reliance datacard software
[14:02] <nino_> Hello everyone,
[14:02] <thinknow> when should openvpn get into the network manager again?
[14:02] <nino_> Does anyone know why i cant go in ubuntu anymore after kernel upgrade from 3.2.0-23-generic to linux-image-3.2.0-38-generic??? I only get a black screen i want to go in the new kernel. If i go to the previous one everything is fine.
[14:02] <lobato> nino_, , sometimes when i have this black screen issue on ubuntu kernel updates, normaly has someting to do with my video driver, wich is nvdia, so i need to edit my grub execution line
[14:02] <thinknow> as in ubuntu 10 and earlier ?
[14:02] <dr_willis> installed via a. deb or how amrit ?
[14:02] <nino_> Lobato how do i do that?
[14:02] <amrit> no. i tried reading instructions from net to manually install it by typing some codes
[14:03] <nino_> I have Nvidia to
[14:04] <dr_willis> amrit: and the exact issues are?
[14:04] <lobato> nino_,  when at grub menu, press 'e' to edit the startup command, and after the word 'splash' put 'nomodeset' and press 'Ctrl+F10' to start ubuntu without  try using your video card driver and uses generic video
[14:04] <thinknow> when should openvpn get into the network manager again? Or how to make it possible?!
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> amrit  i read here, it's some development tool, java and c++
[14:05] <dr_willis> !openvpn
[14:05] <thinknow> lobato, : on the startup command, what does the insmod_msdos  ++ means?
[14:05] <nino_> Lobato how do i het the Nvidia driver working againt after doing that?
[14:05] <nino_> _get_
[14:05] <lobato> thinknow, not sure
[14:05] <thinknow> does everyone have it?
[14:06] <shantilove> bonjour
[14:06] <thinknow> i can understand why msdos should be inside linux?
[14:06] <thinknow> cant
[14:06] <lotuspsychje> !fr | shantilove
[14:06] <shantilove>  sur quel salon je pourrais trouver quelqun pour m'aider
[14:06] <amrit> neither me nor the system is able to uninstall it. whenever i am trying to install any software , the crossplatformui is creating problem
[14:06] <lobato> nino_, after this you can reinstall nvidia driver with 'sudo apt-get reinstall nvidia-current'
[14:06] <shantilove> oki
[14:06] <lobato> if you uses nvidia driver
[14:07] <BluesKaj> Hiya all
[14:07] <lobato> i mean nvidia (recommended) driver
[14:07] <nino_> Okay , your information is very helpfull! Thankyou for your help i will try that:)
[14:07] <dr_willis> amrit: what issue. pastebin error messages..

[14:18] <raj> dr_willis, still at at it!
[14:19] <raj> you're freaking superhuman
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> amrit  like so: http://imagebin.org/247733

[14:25] <madpup> cinnamon

[14:25] <dr_willis> its past my bedtime.. but the grandkid is getting  his tonsils out..
[14:26] <dr_willis> so hanging at the hospital. chat at ya laters.
[14:26] <karpuragauram> anyone. I am stuck at 'installing the upgrades ' can I shut the system down. the upgrading stopped at 25 libs left due to disk space problems
[14:26] <karpuragauram> 25 mins left
[14:27] <lotuspsychje> laters dr_willis
[14:27] <BluesKaj> karpuragauram, how much space did you create for your OS ?
[14:27] <genii-around> karpuragauram: Turning the power off in the middle of a large operation like that usually doesn't end well
[14:28] <madpup> or should i just pull it, sell it and use the cpu's built in hd 4000 (i5 3570k)?
[14:29] <karpuragauram> I was net upgrading and it asked me to free 1.3 gb on root. I freed 2.5. I have a old system and 60 gb whole hdd.
[14:29] <vandemar> if you don't need high 3d performance for gaming, use the onboard intel gpu.  it'll save on your power bill too.
[14:29] <JeffJassky> hey, guys. I have a 10.04 server box. I'm trying to permanently limit CPU usage for processes with a specific name. I tried googling around a bit but haven't found anything that would do it permanently.
[14:30] <JeffJassky> Might anyone know of a solution?
[14:30] <madpup> cool, will it run flash, hd video?
[14:31] <genii-around> JeffJassky: If these processes are daemons which are started by upstart, you could do something like add a renice number for them into their conf file
[14:31] <karpuragauram> Blueskaj do I have a choice or is manual install the only option left.
[14:31] <karpuragauram> genii-around any advice
[14:32] <JeffJassky> genii-around: I'm a real noob when it comes to this stuff.. what is upstart?
[14:32] <genii-around> karpuragauram: You said you made room, but how much room is on your /boot area?
[14:33] <vandemar> madpup: yes, intel gma4000 will play hd video easily.  it's 3d where you start seeing significant differences in stand-alone ati/nvidia
[14:33] <madpup> i just found, google, a program called cpulimit, that claims to limit processes to a percentage.
[14:33] <diki> Question.
[14:33] <yown> What is a good program for securely deleting data with ext4?
[14:34] <madpup> cheers vand will try
[14:34] <karpuragauram> I had a total of 10 gb on lucid and now _increased it to 12 gb.
[14:34] <genii-around> JeffJassky: It's the thing which starts up all the programs which need to run when you boot. So all the applications like maybe mysql, apache, etc have entries in /etc/init directory which upstart reads then starts them based on what it finds there
[14:34] <diki> Shell scripts have a line that starts with #! usr/bin/perl for instance
[14:34] <genii-around> !upstart
[14:34] <diki> Is it possible to make it so, they don't look in that path, but another?
[14:35] <JeffJassky> madpup: Unfortunately cpulimit runs in the foreground of terminal.. and as soon as you exit it stops limiting the process. For some reason it's more of a temporary solution.
[14:35] <vandemar> yown: `shred`
[14:35] <JeffJassky> genii-around: Thanks! I'll take a peek in there.
[14:35] <karpuragauram> on lucid roughly 1..5 gb was free but now.
[14:35] <karpuragauram> :(.
[14:35] <genii-around> karpuragauram: Can you use a pastebin to show the result of: mount        and: df -h          please
[14:36] <genii-around> JeffJassky: Might also want to take a look at the mnual page for nice or renice as well so you get an idea how it works
[14:36] <JeffJassky> genii-around: Yep was taking a look there. That might work out for me. Thanks a bunch.
[14:37] <genii-around> JeffJassky: No prob
[14:37] <karpuragauram> chatting from my phone. computer is frozen. how do I do pastebin now :(.
[14:38] <karpuragauram> I can tell u that / boot is full though
[14:39] <karpuragauram> and upgrade terminal icon is just sitting there blinking at me
[14:39] <yown> vandemar: Well this data is already deleted, but is there a way to wipe out the residue, It seems like shred is only for files that haven't been deleted yet
[14:41] <mehdi__> anybody work with pyload here?

[14:53] <Snake2k> Hello everyone, can anyone tell me what languages are supported for the Ubuntu mobile OS?.. like can I make apps in Python?
[14:53] <holstein> john38: ? sure you do.. you get them, and build them yourself.. there is no reason to use it over ubuntu 10.04
[14:54] <s9iper1__> holstein: hang on i show u the torrent link
[14:54] <john38> holstein, the computer im repairing is old!
[14:55] <john38> holstein, 10.04 would be slow
[14:55] <DJones> s9iper1_: Please don't show links to torrents for Windows etc, they're not official windows releases
[14:55] <holstein> stochasm: i dont want it... and you shouldnt link it here
[14:55] <holstein> stochasm: sorry...
[14:55] <holstein> s9iper1_: i dont want it, and you shouldnt link it here
[14:55] <johannes__>  you can download windows 8 and 7 legal at thee microsoft website
[14:56] <karpuragauram> anyone.  how do I get apps back after new install.
[14:56] <holstein> john38: you can try 10.04 live
[14:56] <s9iper1_> ok
[14:56] <s9iper1_> ok
[14:56] <s9iper1_> thanks
[14:56] <FloodBot1> s9iper1_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:56] <holstein> karpuragauram: just reinstall them using the package manager of your choice
[14:56] <theadmin> karpuragauram: By reinstalling them, trying to use binaries from another system likely will lead to a bad result.
[14:56] <b2w> can i install ubuntu inside  windows 8?
[14:56] <theadmin> b2w: Yes, using VirtualBox: http://virtualbox.org
[14:57] <johannes__> or vmware
[14:57] <b2w> can i install it using ubi.exe likewise in windows xp?
[14:58] <k1l> b2w: most users here dont recommend wubi
[14:58] <theadmin> b2w: You can use that, yes (it's downloadable from http://wubi-installer.org ), although that tends to fail. You've been warned.
[14:58] <karpuragauram> I only have xububtu live disk. can I get lububtu later after fresh install.
[14:58] <k1l> b2w: go for a native install or use a virtualisation
[14:58] <k1l> karpuragauram: install lubuntu-desktop
[14:59] <b2w> yes i tried it but it returned somee error msg...
[14:59] <theadmin> karpuragauram: Sure, you can get any of the app sets that come with official Ubuntu variants via the software center, just search for "<name>-desktop". "lubuntu-desktop" in your case.
[14:59] <TheGrey> how do I setup m-audio audiophile 2496? I've made asound.rc be for my card. I've heard it uses envy24control. How/what do I do? :)
[14:59] <johannes__> why lubuntu
[14:59] <k1l> johannes__: why not? :)
[14:59] <john38> holstein, what are the system requirements for Xubuntu 10.04
[14:59] <holstein> TheGrey: i would read about JACK
[15:00] <holstein> john38: i would just fire it up live.. should be pretty lean.. what do you have??
[15:00] <johannes__> i think xubuntu is better
[15:00] <theadmin> john38: Woah, 10.04 is fairly old, why not go for 12.04 or 12.10?
[15:00] <karpuragauram> I don't have its disk or ISO and my comp is hung now on an upgrade from lucid to precise.  no disk space on /boot
[15:00] <k1l> john38: be aware that 10.04 looses support in april this year
[15:00] <b2w> i have some problem with my audio device.it plays sound well but sometimes it shows some error messages
[15:00] <theadmin> johannes__: There's no "better", people have preference.
[15:00] <k1l> johannes__: that is a choice every user has to make his own
[15:01] <john38> holstein, not mine im working on a Pentium II/CEleron 450mhz 256mb ram nividia 16mb
[15:01] <bhavesh> Is my Linux Kernel always going to remain 3.2.x on Ubuntu 12.04?
[15:01] <theadmin> bhavesh: Yes
[15:01] <b2w> how to reinstall the audio driver to solve the problems with audio device.
[15:02] <bhavesh> l
[15:02] <bhavesh> k*
[15:02] <theadmin> b2w: Why do you think that's going to solve anything? Reinstalls normally don't fix anything.
[15:02] <holstein> john38: i would try lubuntu or xubuntu 12.10 on that live
[15:02] <b2w> theadmin:then what should i do?
[15:02] <theadmin> b2w: What's your audio device?
[15:02] <holstein> john38: theres always puppy linux and the others that are more catering to older specs
[15:03] <Pici> holstein: a live CD is not going be fun with only 256 mb of RAM
[15:03] <theadmin> Well... you could go with Ubuntu Minimal, john38
[15:03] <theadmin> john38: Add on to that later, you can get a fairly decent system.
[15:03] <holstein> Pici: i like to try them though, since i can see how the hardware support is
[15:04] <b2w> i dont know for sure.but the manufacturer has given realtek driver for it.my pc is a laptop.
[15:04] <holstein> my point is, i would try the current version john38 .. dont worry about going back to EOL versions
[15:04] <johannes__> go offline
[15:04] <john38> holstein, i tried lubuntu too slow
[15:05] <holstein> john38: you installed lubuntu? if you did, then i would just go with something that caters to those specs
[15:05] <TheGrey> holstein: thanks, i've read but I still have little idea what I'm doing.
[15:05] <theadmin> john38: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - this will give you a minimal system. Put Openbox or such on top.
[15:05] <holstein> TheGrey: im about to be in rehearsal for an hour, but try #ubuntu-studio and #opensourcemusicians .. folks in that second channel have that hardware
[15:06] <theadmin> There are better distros than Ubuntu for such old hardware, as holstein said, but this channel cannot support them.
[15:06] <b2w> theadmin: its realtek.
[15:06] <theadmin> b2w: Hm... I never had any problems with realtek. What's the issue?
[15:06] <john38> holstein, if i use puppy do they offer newest version even for low spec comp
[15:08] <b2w> theadmin: i used espeak speech software.it says the given text but some error message like below appears:          ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave ALSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.rear ALSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.center_lfe ALSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM cards.pcm.side ALSA lib audio/pcm_bluetooth.c:1614:(aud
[15:08] <holstein> john38: no.. but you can.. if you want to use legacy hardware, you might have to support it yourself.. but i always just try and load up a live CD to see what hardware support, or software versions are a "deal breaker"
[15:09] <theadmin> b2w: Does other sound-related software work?
[15:09] <theadmin> b2w: To make sure sound works at all, you can play a sure-to-play sound file: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[15:09] <john38> holstein, doesnt xubuntu use less resource on pc than lubuntu because of xfce
[15:10] <holstein> john38: no.. LXDE is arguably the lightest.. but again, just load them up live somewhere and see for yourself.. the 'L' in LXDE is 'lightweight'
[15:11] <b2w> theadmin:it works but it shows some error messages when i use espeak
[15:11] <theadmin> b2w: Then it's a problem with espeak, not your sound.
[15:11] <karpuragauram> are any of the lightweight ones Ltd
[15:12] <b2w> theadmin:ok then suggest a solution for that.
[15:12] <genii-around> karpuragauram: Apologies, work is requiring me to be away from the computer
[15:13] <theadmin> b2w: If anything, espeak doesn't work on my machine either. Why not use some similar software?
[15:15] <yossarianuk> hi - does anyone know if /tmp has been mounted as tmpfs  and the size of /tmp = 2.5GB - is that using 2.5GB of system ram/swap
[15:15] <b2w> theadmin:tell me similar to that tool that converts text to speech and that must support english and indian languages like espeak.
[15:15] <theadmin> b2w: Festival
[15:16] <b2w> can it support "tamil" language?
[15:16] <nickey> Hi guys! Can't change screen resolution with xrandr.
[15:16] <amaroks> Hello, I'm running this command ahmad@ubuntu:~/Downloads/dbi$ sudo perl Makefile.PL --mysql_config=/host/xampp/mysql/bin/mysql_config.pl
[15:17] <amaroks> getting Can't exec "/host/xampp/mysql/bin/mysql_config.pl": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 454.
[15:17] <amaroks> even though the file exists..
[15:17] <b2w> theadmin:can it support "tamil" language?
[15:17] <bazhang> !xampp | amaroks
[15:18] <nickey> Will anybody help me? How to change resolution with xrandr?
[15:18] <amaroks> bazhang, its not xampp
[15:18] <theadmin> b2w: Sorry, don't find support for that.
[15:18] <theadmin> nickey: xrandr -s 1024x769
[15:19] <theadmin> nickey: Or whatever.
[15:20] <nickey> theadmin: should it work, but it don't... =( I doing it, command don't show any output, but resolution is still the same...
[15:20] <b2w> theadmin:your tips helped me a lot which made me win the competition.
[15:20] <b2w> theadmin:thanks a lot....
[15:21] <theadmin> b2w: Sarcasm is not welcome. I was trying to help, you asked me for "indian languages". I figured you meant Hindi or such, and it had support for that. When you asked for "tamil", well, I didn't find it.
[15:22] <theadmin> nickey: Is the resolution you're trying listed when you run "xrandr" without any arguments?
[15:22] <nickey> theadmin: yes
[15:22] <theadmin> nickey: Hm... Odd enough, it should just work then
[15:23] <adac> I try start ubuntu from my live cd, but it seems there are graphic issues. I always tries to load the x server but it doesn't succeed. How can I start in "low graphics mode"?
[15:23] <theadmin> nickey: Do you have multiple monitors?
[15:24] <nickey> theadmin: no, just one by HDMI
[15:24] <b2w> theadmin:its ok admin. i am satisfied with espeak.
[15:24] <theadmin> b2w: Hope you can get it to work
[15:25] <theadmin> nickey: Hm, try: xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1024x768
[15:26] <b2w> theadmin:yes.i want it to be make it as a handy device. tell me how can i install ubuntu in a mobile phone?
[15:27] <theadmin> b2w: It's not really possible officially just yet, but you can search for "Linux Installer" in the Play Store.
[15:27] <theadmin> b2w: If it's an Android device, that is. If not, then I have no idea
[15:29] <b2w> theadmin:ok.can i install just the linux kernel not the whole ubuntu.
[15:29] <theadmin> b2w: Uh, you already have that if it's an Android device. Android is Linux-based.
[15:29] <bazhang> !ot | b2w
[15:29] <mdh> b2w the kernel itself isn't all that useful without tools
[15:29] <nickey> teadmin: configure crtc0 failed
[15:32] <nickey> teadmin: configure crtc0 failed
[15:40] <theadmin> nickey: Not sure what that can even mean... Sorry, no real ideas. Why do you need to use xrandr as opposed to graphical display configuration tools?
[15:41] <nickey> teadmin: because i've only tty as my HDMI TV can't work in mode I have...
[15:41] <kartick> i need a help about data recovery.can anyone pvt me and help me?
[15:42] <theadmin> nickey: Ah, well, then that makes sense, you're not connected to an X display so xrandr doesn't know what to modify.
[15:42] <ikonia> kartick: what's the issue
[15:42] <theadmin> nickey: export DISPLAY=:0 and try again.
[15:42] <nickey> theadmin: I do exactly with DISPLAY
[15:42] <kartick> can i pvt u ikonia ?
[15:42] <theadmin> nickey: Ah, okay, bah, then I'm out of ideas again
[15:42] <ikonia> kartick: just ask in the channel
[15:42] <nickey> theadmin: and xrandr -q is working
[15:43] <theadmin> !pm | karpuragauram
[15:43] <theadmin> Ooops
[15:43] <theadmin> Sorry, karpuragauram
[15:44] <trublwithnorml> Gnome question:  I just put Chrubuntu on an Acer Chromebook, and switched to Gnome Classic, can't stand Unity.  I can't modify the top panel, alt-right click, which is alt, two finger tap on a chromebook, doesn't do anything.  Any ideas?
[15:44] <john38> holstein, do you know if puppy 1 is still supported
[15:44] <ikonia> puppy 1 ?
[15:44] <kartick> ok i had installed windows xp then i want to use ubuntu i installed but i installed it over my windows xp.now what can i do? how can i recover my files? is there any way to recover?
[15:44] <ikonia> trublwithnorml: chrububuntu ?
[15:44] <ikonia> kartick: that's not going to happen
[15:44] <holstein> john38: puppy is not "supported" that way.. it just is.. you dont install it typically and get nice updates like ubuntu does.. its minimal
[15:44] <trublwithnorml> ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Chromebook.
[15:45] <kartick> realy there is no way to recover that?
[15:45] <ikonia> trublwithnorml: that's not an ubuntu distro though, that's googles version isn't it ?
[15:45] <ikonia> kartick: nope, you've put a new file system on the disk, and overwrite the files with more files
[15:45] <kartick> i had my family photos and many files now all files are gone can i use any recovery software?
[15:46] <theadmin> kartick: Try with Photorec (part of Testdisk suite). You can recover some files that way, but it won't be perfect (some parts of contents may be missing, the filenames will be messed up, etc)
[15:46] <kartick> ok can i use recovery software?
[15:46] <trublwithnorml> It's not a google product, they have their own OS.  It's out there somewhere,I just googled chromebook ubuntu Acer and it's the top response.
[15:46] <robin0800> trublwithn You may have to use the window key as well
[15:47] <kartick> ok thanks theadmin
[15:47] <trublwithnorml> what window key, it's a chromebook.  There's no window key
[15:47] <ikonia> trublwtit's not an ubuntu release.
[15:48] <theadmin> trublwithnorml: To get the panel menu you need to Alt+Super+right click, that's how it is in GNOME nowadays.
[15:48] <mdh> restore from backup.
[15:48] <trublwithnorml> Ah!  there's a key with a symbol that looks like a magnifying glass next to alt.  That plus alt plus two finger tap does it.  Thanks for the clues!
[15:49] <RZAFC> does anyone know how I can get social engineering toolkit on ubuntu 12.04lts for ppc?
[15:49] <ikonia> RZAFC: does it exist ?
[15:50] <theadmin> RZAFC: Umm. I'm not sure Ubuntu 12.04 has PPC support.
[15:50] <guywithAITgfx> Does the free ATI driver support multiple monitors (not just showing the same on both monitors, actually having more screen space)?
[15:50] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: Not sure about the free one. But I know that fglrx does.
[15:50] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: is that the proprietary ATI driver?
[15:50] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: yep
[15:51] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: Is it usable?
[15:52] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: Rather, propretiary AMD driver for video cards. It's usable although has problems with older card models. You can get it from the "Additional Drivers" app (jockey-gtk) that comes with Ubuntu.
[15:52] <ronalds_m> hello
[15:53] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: How old? Mine is from 2010 or 2011 (I got this box in early 2011)
[15:53] <ronalds_m> why qbittorent turns off by itself in some time?
[15:54] <phschwartz> I installed 12.04 server on about 200 servers and had it setup a second disk (4TB raid6) mounted to /mnt/disk1 on each node. I decided now that I want to have this split into a single partition and an extra partition for lvm. I scripted running parted to rebuild the partition, now what is the easiest way to modify my fstab on all 200 servers to remove UUID=***** from the line for that mount point and set it to /dev/sdb1
[15:54] <ikonia> phschwartz: ssh, keys and a sed script
[15:54] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: Could you provide the exact model?
[15:54] <phschwartz> ikonia: I was hoping sed wasn't the suggestion. lol
[15:55] <Touhou11> phschwartz: A perl script would do the same thing much easier
[15:55] <ikonia> yeah, much easier than a 1 line sed command
[15:55] <Touhou11> ikonia: Agreed
[15:55] <theadmin> Touhou11: That was sarcasm, I think.
[15:55] <ikonia> don't know how you can get easier than a 1 line sed command
[15:55] <ikonia> can't wait to find out though
[15:55] <Touhou11> sed has the most abysmal syntax
[15:55] <RZAFC> theadmin: what do you mean by ppc support?
[15:55] <rurufufuss> how does one set a default "open with" in 12.10 for files?
[15:56] <theadmin> ikonia: Everything appears easier with Perl to Perl coders, even if it's actually harder.
[15:56] <ikonia> it's one line
[15:56] <theadmin> rurufufuss: I'm pretty sure it's still the same way as before, in Properties.
[15:56] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: The card says HD-465X-ZD
[15:56] <ikonia> sed -d '/UUID=kfjsdlkfjsd' /etc/fstab
[15:56] <rurufufuss> theadmin: thanks, found it
[15:56] <ikonia> how does it get much easier than that
[15:57] <Touhou11> Much easier in Perl, worth learning imo
[15:57] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: That appears to be supported.
[15:57] <guywithAITgfx> Touhou11: Much easier in Python
[15:58] <theadmin> *ahem* guys, enough with the flamewar, this is offtopic
[15:58] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: Awesome, thanks for helping. However, there is one problem. Under the "additional drivers" menu, I do not see any drivers to install. The box is empty.
[15:59] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: Oh, then I've been wrong. Ubuntu won't let you install unsupported drivers easily, and it's better not to try. I suppose it's not supported then (ATI's confusing in that way)
[15:59] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: well, that's disappointing :(
[16:00] <mdh> that's dissapointing advice
[16:00] <guywithAITgfx> However, I will try to figure out if the free driver supports multiple monitors (properly)
[16:00] <theadmin> guywithAITgfx: You could still "sudo apt-get install fglrx" and reboot, but it might fail. If it does, then "sudo apt-get remove fglrx" from a TTY and reboot again, if it doesn't, well, yay.
[16:01] <guywithAITgfx> theadmin: Thank you :-)
[16:05] <theadmin> Speaking of drivers, I have a GeForce GT 540M and right after the install of Ubuntu 12.04, the propretiary driver warning came up, but I didn't install it back then. Now all of a sudden the driver dissapeared from Jockey, what gives? Could it be a result of kernel upgrade or somesuch?
[16:05] <theadmin> Noveau's fine for my purposes, but I'm confused.
[16:08] <Frekholm> Installed Ubuntu 12.10 beside Windows 7, but no dualboot comes up.
[16:09] <pythonirc1011> If I install raid 10 on 4 drives, and install ubuntu on the raid, if one drive fails, does the server still boot?
[16:10] <guywithATIgfx> theadmin: fglrx didn't work properly (which is odd and quite sad). However, I'll see if I can figure out how to configure the free driver. :-)
[16:10] <daddeeyee> gud eve!
[16:11] <daddeeyee> any1 here from phil?
[16:11] <theadmin> !ot | daddeeyee
[16:12] <theadmin> guywithATIgfx: Well, good luck, it should be possible for all I know
[16:12] <Frekholm> Why install beside Windows if no dual boot is installed_
[16:14] <Azert> the linux duds(aka NSA) have come up with a way to hide malware (security software) in the inods of ext4 fs
[16:14] <bazhang> Azert, wrong channel
[16:16] <hs366> can someone recommend a free and good  PDF editor plz ?
[16:17] <Touhou11> hs366: The official Adobe one
[16:17] <bazhang> hs366, apt-cache search pdf in terminal and take a look
[16:17] <hs366> ok thx i will check
[16:17] <theadmin> hs366: PDF is mostly a read-only format. You can export to PDF from pretty much anywhere in Ubuntu by printing to the virtual PDF printer, but I know of no way to edit an existing PDF.
[16:18] <Touhou11> hs366: By editor, do you mean filling in PDF forms? Or creating PDFs?
[16:18] <hs366> i just need to highlight and use underline or cross line
[16:19] <TheSov> does anyone know why logrotate is breaking my syslog? every time it runs my syslog stops logging
[16:19] <jhutchins_wk> hs366: PDF was originally designed specifically to be non-editable.  It was meant to be the equivalent of a printed page, which can not be easily modified.
[16:19] <hs366> not very professional one like Adobe pro windows version
[16:19] <jhutchins_wk> hs366: That said, some Linux PDF viewers can cope with forms, and it's possible to hack it.
[16:20] <jhutchins_wk> TheSov: What did you mess with?
[16:20] <hs366> i c
[16:20] <raj> is `virtualbox-guest-utils` still a valid package?
[16:20] <jhutchins_wk> hs366: The Adobe policy is that you  edit the original document, not the PDF.
[16:20] <aethelrick> you could try pdfedit... not sure how good it is
[16:20] <hs366> i found PDFSTUDIO from forum but i don't know if it's free or not
[16:21] <theadmin> raj: Yes
[16:21] <theadmin> !info virtualbox-guest-utils
[16:21] <hs366> pdfedit sounds good some ppl recommend it too. it will try ,
[16:21] <genii-around> hs366: Perhaps check out pdfedit , or else just import the pdf you want to edit into libreoffice
[16:22] <hs366> bazhang, (apt-cache search pdf ) is it search all pdf application available on ubuntu ?
[16:22] <karpuragauram> hello again. I have a live USB xubuntu CD. it is working OK but clicking on install is crashing
[16:23] <jhutchins_wk> hs366: Also libre/open office, as genii-around suggested, inkscape, and pdftk.
[16:24] <genii-around> hs366: You can use the extensions manager of libre/open office to install the pdf import filter. It then will bring it into the Draw application for editing
[16:24] <hs366> i c
[16:24] <raj> theadmin, is that all I have to do ?
[16:24] <raj> just sudo apt-get it?
[16:24] <hs366> thank you for support i will try and if i got problem i ask you again
[16:24] <hs366>  thxxx
[16:24] <raj> restart or something?
