[00:00] <gordonjcp> valroadie: there's no easy way to do that
[00:00] <invisiblek> hrm...why does ubuntu fail so hard at using my local dns server to resolve local nodes?
[00:00] <gordonjcp> valroadie: the root account is deprecated
[00:00] <valroadie> gordonjcp, ah well, anyplace with steps to guide me? Or...
[00:00] <invisiblek> it should be acquiring dns servers from my dhcp server (also the dns server)
[00:00] <gordonjcp> valroadie: if you *insist*...
[00:00] <usr13> valroadie: Sure it's possible.  sudo -i  gives you super-user mode.
[00:00] <valroadie> :D I do I do!
[00:00] <invisiblek> $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
[00:00] <invisiblek> # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
[00:00] <invisiblek> #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[00:00] <invisiblek> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:00] <FloodBot1> invisiblek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:00] <invisiblek> thats not a flood =P
[00:00] <gordonjcp> valroadie: maybe you can pass something to gnome-terminal on startup to force it to run as root
[00:00] <invisiblek> any more maybe...
[00:01] <invisiblek> anyway, it shouldnt be using <IP_ADDRESS> for dns =\
[00:01] <gordonjcp> valroadie: why do you want to do that, anyway?
[00:01] <invisiblek> not sure why its getting that in there
[00:01] <poz> I am with valroadie, I want that as well
[00:01] <Aprel> valroadie: I *think* you can configure sudo to not require a pass. Then maybe you can make a shortcut to always call 'sudo -i' at terminal startup
[00:01] <xmetal> (have mint installed now) ... looking up info on mint-vs-ubuntu-vs-debian atm
[00:01] <histo> invisiblek: caching
[00:01] <valroadie> gordonjcp, because I do not want to be bothered by the sudo pass prompt ;) Aprel Thank you! I will look in the config files for my term client.
[00:01] <gordonjcp> valroadie: hm
[00:02]  * w30 thinks running any GUI as root is dangerous even if it's pretty stable, it's not stable enough.
[00:02] <gordonjcp> valroadie: you shouldn't do that
[00:02] <histo> invisiblek: Are you using network-manager for your connection?
[00:02] <gordonjcp> valroadie: you don't have enough experience to have it all root all the time
[00:02] <usr13> invisiblek: change it to a valid nameserver of your choice.  Use the network-manager if you like, or set the configuration on your gateway router so that it gives proper IP info.
[00:02] <invisiblek> histo: yea, i think so, whatever is default on desktop
[00:02] <valroadie> gordonjcp, I know ;) But it is my linux eh? I WANT to :)
[00:02] <invisiblek> usr13: you dont edit resolv.conf, it doesnt survive a reboot
[00:02] <invisiblek> and it should be pulling dns from my dhcp server, everything else does
[00:02] <poz> yeah, i agree. why is so hard to see why valroadie would want that? its very clean, so he can muck about with out any hassle. why bother with a password?
[00:02] <invisiblek> all my other nodes properly query it
[00:02] <usr13> invisiblek: You are correct.
[00:02] <gordonjcp> valroadie: maybe add sudo -i to your rcfile?
[00:03] <histo> invisiblek: look at your settings in network-manager you should see your dhcp pulled hte appropriate dns from your router
[00:03] <invisiblek> histo: yes, it appears to have
[00:03] <valroadie> gordonjcp, will try that ;)
[00:03] <gordonjcp> valroadie: anyway, having a root login is obsolete
[00:03] <w30> even sudo <some GUI app> is more dangerous than gksu <some GUI app>
[00:03] <gordonjcp> valroadie: you should only ever use sudo
[00:03] <invisiblek> but when i do nslookups, its using <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:03] <invisiblek> =\
[00:03] <gordonjcp> valroadie: this has been the case for over 20 years
[00:03] <histo> invisiblek: it's using a local cache to speed up queries
[00:04] <invisiblek> well its local cache is failing and its not querying the nameserver lol
[00:04] <poz> what does sudo -i do?
[00:04] <gordonjcp> poz: starts a shell as root
[00:04] <Aprel> gordonjcp: You mean obsolete on ubuntu? Debian still uses a root account.
[00:04] <usr13> invisiblek: But I've given you the available options.  You more-than likely have network-manager configured imporperly or your router, one or the other.
[00:04] <gordonjcp> Aprel: obsolete on *all* Unix-like OSes
[00:04] <valroadie> gordonjcp, I am a risk taker! heh and imaptient. Really a big reason is to see if I CAN do it! Noone wanted to help me to do it because it is ill advised and I appreciate it but, it is my comp and I want to do what I want! *Yells and cries* haha
[00:04] <gordonjcp> Aprel: root was dead before the very first Linux was released
[00:05] <poz> is there a way such that I can open up a terminal and always be in sudo -i mode?
[00:05] <histo> invisiblek: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2219/how-do-i-clear-the-dns-cache#2234
[00:05] <Aprel> gordonjcp: Then why do so many still use it?
[00:05] <w30> valroadie, make sure you have a disk image available to dd  back  to sda or whatever, heh heh
[00:05] <gordonjcp> poz: that's what valroadie is trying to do
[00:05] <gordonjcp> Aprel: stupidity
[00:05] <histo> poz: sudo gnome-terminal
[00:05] <poz> seems like i would have to type it for every terminal
[00:05] <histo> poz: why would you want to though?
[00:05] <invisiblek> histo: it seems to work *sometimes* and not others
[00:05] <invisiblek> not sure a flush is going to fix it
[00:05] <usr13> invisiblek: You do not have to use network-manager if you don't want to, you can set to static and edit /etc/resolv.conf if you want.
[00:05] <gordonjcp> poz: doing that makes no sense
[00:05] <histo> poz: although gksu gnome-terminal would probably be more proper
[00:06] <w30> keep your password in the clipboard
[00:06] <poz> so i never have to type sudo before everything i type and that i dont have to bother with a password
[00:06] <raymond_> Prufrock, :( there's more to that message above, so the log doesn't show it?
[00:06] <w30> cut and paste
[00:06] <gordonjcp> poz: the root account is severely limited
[00:06] <Aprel> gordonjcp: ha! Not surprising
[00:06] <DuncanNZ> poz: bad idea.
[00:06] <gordonjcp> poz: most graphical apps won't work, for example
[00:06] <histo> poz: why not configure sudo properly for the commands you want then.
[00:06] <Prufrock> raymond_, mmmmm let me see..
[00:06] <DuncanNZ> just use sudo before commands that need it, only five chars
[00:06] <DuncanNZ> most commands don't need it
[00:06] <xmetal>  hmm also pondering replacing slackwaer 12.2 ... not sure if i want to go with the new slack ... though i do like to  "get my hands dirty" with 12.2 so i may keep it

[00:07] <gordonjcp> poz: do you know why it doesn't work?
[00:07] <gordonjcp> poz: never *ever* do that
[00:07] <DuncanNZ> poz: ^^ +1
[00:07] <poz> really? i do it all the time...
[00:07] <poz> why not?
[00:07] <gordonjcp> poz: really

[00:08] <Aprel> Haha, that is a joke, yes, poz?
[00:08] <gordonjcp> poz: do you understand what you're typing in?
[00:08] <poz> some times... sometimes it is gibberish
[00:08] <gordonjcp> poz: so you're typing in commands that you don't understand, and running them as root?
[00:08] <poz> is it really that bad? I do not have anything personal on this computer... just a fresh install... somthing I play with to learn what i am doing
[00:08] <poz> yes
[00:09] <gordonjcp> poz: paste your credit card number, expiry date, CVV number, and home address and telephone number and I'll explain why that's a bad idea
[00:09] <valroadie> poz don't feel bad, every has done it or still does. It is a quick way besides typing it all. These tight asses don't know the meaning of OPEN SOURCE. Pssh, Im outta here.
[00:09] <Prufrock> raymond_, oh, yeah, I guess I found it. Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5902356/
[00:10] <poz> I have no info like that on this computer
[00:10] <gordonjcp> poz: you understand why typing random stuff in and running it as root is dangerous, right?
[00:11] <w30> all these people running sudo for a gui app wonder why their .Xdefaults file becomes owned by root and their user name won't log in.
[00:11] <poz> I dont understand why... i have to go eat right now because my gf is bothering me too. but I will be back to discuss
[00:11] <w30> it won't happen with gksu
[00:12] <Jetfire> anyone familiar with installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu 12.04?
[00:12] <Aprel> poz: The point is root/sudo is your line of defense against attackers. By disregarding the protections sudo brings you, you open yourself up to vulnerabilities.
[00:12] <Prufrock> raymond_, And there also seems to be a similar, marked incomplete, error report on launchpad about this same issue.
[00:12] <usr13> poz: The attitude you just witnessed from valroadie is unfortunate.  What happens is that an unexperienced user with that type of attitude starts doing lots of stuff as super user or root and wrecks his system and wonders why linux is so messed up.  Well, it is not Linux that is messed up, it is the way people try to miss-use it.
[00:13] <w30> yeah and the attacker is you when some command hangs or you misstype rm something lib_ouno

[00:19] <elisa87> do you know why I can't install or uninstall any package anymore? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5902378/ my JAVA_HOME is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre and my Java version is "1.6.0_27"
[00:19] <SDr> are there any ways for processes eg kworker/1:0 and migration/7 to not show up on ps / top?
[00:20] <raymond_> Prufrock, hmm.. I'm stumped. The messeage doesn't make it clear as to what module is causing this even.. tried googling the error but didn't get any real solution.
[00:20] <Jetfire> Aprel Nvidia Geforce GT 630M
[00:20] <raymond_> Prufrock, Are you using any proprietary video drivers, or any kernel modules you build & installed?
[00:22] <Prufrock> raymond_, I'm not sure about the video drivers, but I've never been able to write an actually useful piece of code in my life to be able to build or install a kernel module.. :\
[00:22] <skulltip> why is 12.04 stuck with an older kernel while 13+ has the newer stuff?
[00:23] <histo> skulltip: stability
[00:23] <SilverSlimer> how do newer kernels affect stability.. seriously?
[00:24] <SilverSlimer> i could imagine having a different version of certain libraries to go with a piece of software but a kernel?
[00:24] <Aprel> Jetfire: https://www.google.com/search?q=Nvidia+Geforce+GT+630M+ubuntu+driver might have the solution for you. Unfortunately the ubuntu forums top link is down :(
[00:24] <SilverSlimer> different version of libraries = crash, not a kernel.
[00:24] <fellayaboy> how do i uninstall programs that ive installed via a terminal from tar file..such as ./program make install
[00:24] <Prufrock> raymond_, could installing and tinkering with Wine at little bit have anything to do with this?
[00:25] <Prufrock> a*
[00:25] <Jetfire> Aprel: Yes they are down and i can't install damn driver.
[00:25] <Jetfire> For what i've learned bumblebee is universial driver for optimus nvidia graphics.
[00:25] <akurilin> Is there any way of preventing alt-ctrl-del in a virtual tty when a user isn't logged in?
[00:25] <Aprel> skulltip: even though 12.04 has "long term support", they only bring the latest packages with the latest distros.
[00:26] <histo> !releases | skulltip
[00:26] <raymond_> Prufrock, It shouldn't.. unless you changed some kernel parameters (modifed /etc/defaults/grub).. and you'd know it if you did.  ok.. so that eliminates that issue.  And if you don't have any other devices plugged into your laptop (like a USB video card or something).. then.. as long as you're prepared for having an unbootable system, you can try a mainline kernel out.
[00:26] <Aprel> Jetfire: you may find luck using nVidia proprietary driver, if they have one for linux, but I haven't had much luck with proprietary driver son ubutnu
[00:27] <Prufrock> raymond_, a mainline kernel? what's that?
[00:27] <skulltip> ok ty
[00:27] <genii> !mainline
[00:27] <raymond_> Prufrock, A vanilla kernel, you can even try out a newer version.  Just to see if it fixes the problem.  You should back up your important files first though.
[00:28] <raymond_> genii, thx.. I still have to get used to that !<insert thing here> awesomeness  ;)
[00:29]  * genii hugs ubottu
[00:31] <dutchie> hey, i'm having some issues with command-not-found. See http://pastebin.com/H5vuuTkK. I've tried dpkg-reconfiguring and apt-get install --reinstalling both command-not-found and -data, but no luck. Should I just remove those and get it to regenerate them somehow? Going afk now, but will leave this logged on and check for highlights
[00:32] <raymond_> Prufrock, once you've backed up your important stuff.  Try kernel 3.9  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/  <- you'll see debs on here.  Get the linux-image-... deb for your architecture (if you don't know, just type arch, it'll probably be either i386 or x86_64).  If it's x86_64, grab the deb that ends in amd64.
[00:34] <raymond_> Prufrock, once you download it, if you double click it, it should pop up in the software center and let you install.  Hopefully those panics will stop ^_^
[00:34] <raymond_> Prufrock, oh.. and of course you'll have to reboot after installing it.
[00:34] <linelevel> Hi guys. My install of postgresql became messed up, so I tried to `purge` and re-`install` it, but the installation gives me an error: "Error: could not create default cluster. Please create it manually with  pg_createcluster 9.1 main --start"  -- But that command fails with "Error: move_conffile: required configuration file /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf does not exist"
[00:34] <linelevel> Can anyone please help?
[00:35] <arthurb_> so pavucontrol can't connect to pulseaudio. Daemon is definitely running though. Any thoughts to troubleshoot?
[00:37] <raymond_> Prufrock, one more thing.. if you end up with an unbootable system.. you should see an entry in your boot menu that says Previous Versions, or Recovery Options (can't remember which).  If you hit that menu, you'll see your older kernels and you can boot one of those. :)
[00:37] <DWSR> Can someone help me with why samba4 is failing to configure on Precise amd64 server?
[00:38] <Prufrock> raymond_, I'll try it out in few. Thank you very much for your help. :)

[00:44] <SilverSlimer> aprel: systemimager seems to be the meta-package you want

[00:45] <OerHeks> poz maybe worth trying a different mirror, sometimes helps.
[00:45] <poz> it says "failed to download repository information"
[00:45] <poz> I have tryed three so far
[00:45] <w30> poz, make sure you don't have a source like a cd rom or nfs drive checked in your repo list

[00:48] <w30> poz, try a different download site. I like to let the chooser grab the best one test result.
[00:49] <poz> w30, tried that
[00:49] <poz> well this is the exact error: "Failed to download repository information" ... "Check your internet connection" ... then three options from the software updated: settings... try again... OK...
[00:51] <Jetfire> Aprel: can i ask you one more thing?
[00:51] <Aprel> Jetfire: sure. hope I have an answer
[00:52] <poz> any other ideas?
[00:52] <Jetfire> Aprel: using dell inspiron 5720 ,i have intel graphics and nvidia graphics.i must disable intel so nvidia can be the primary.
[00:52] <w30> poz, donno any more
[00:53] <OerHeks> poz open terminal:" sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  "and paste the complete error you get @ paste.ubuntu.com
[00:54] <Aprel> Jetfire: check your BIOS. In my BIOS, for ex., there is a "Disable Intel graphics if not primary" option. Otherwise, yes, you will probably have to disable one graphics if you want to use the other.
[00:55] <Jetfire> Good ,now:I've downloaded the driver i want ,its a *.run file ,how to install it?
[00:55] <WITRChris> chmod +x *.run
[00:55] <poz> OerHeks http://paste.ubuntu.com/5902466/
[00:55] <WITRChris> sudo ./whatever.run

[00:56] <Jetfire> i've downloaded it into desktop, how to now?
[00:56] <Jetfire> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.44.run
[00:56] <Jetfire> saved on desktop, how to run it?
[00:57] <SilverSlimer> go into a terminal, type sudo then the folder where the file is saved and the file name
[00:57] <Jetfire> so ,sudo Desktop NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.44.run ?
[00:57] <SilverSlimer> like sudo /home/joe/nvidia.run
[00:57] <SilverSlimer> however, i don't think that's how you install the nvidia driver in ubuntu
[00:57] <Aprel> Jetfire: It's a painful process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[00:57] <SilverSlimer> i believe that there is a simpler way
[00:58] <WITRChris> why can't you just do apt-get install nvidia-current?
[00:58] <WITRChris> or is that no longer a thing?
[00:58] <Jetfire> well tried mate ,doesnt work.
[00:58] <OerHeks> poz, that jonoomph/openshot-edge/ has no raring packages. https://launchpad.net/~jonoomph/+archive/openshot-edge

[00:58] <OerHeks> else is loking ine
[00:58] <Jetfire> it installing some X driver which doesnt support my video card.
[00:58] <SilverSlimer> technically, using the default nouveau driver gives you the least problems
[00:58] <SilverSlimer> but it's also not vertically synched and the performance is awful
[00:58] <Jetfire> well lets just say i cant play games without thise drivers.
[00:58] <SilverSlimer> yeah, i figured
[00:58] <SilverSlimer> which games
[00:58] <Jetfire> i installed bumblebee and the problems start.
[00:59] <Jetfire> Steam/Dota2
[00:59] <Jetfire> without bumblebee i even wasnt able to run Steam.

[01:02] <Jetfire> You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 310.44
[01:02] <Jetfire>            NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system.  For further
[01:02] <Jetfire>            details, please see the appendix SUPPORTED NVIDIA GRAPHICS CHIPS in

[01:05] <Jetfire> SilverSlimer: not sure ,now trying to check it.
[01:05] <Jetfire> is there a way?
[01:05] <Jetfire> im using NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 630M video card.
[01:06] <SilverSlimer> ok, a laptop video card
[01:06] <Jetfire> yes.
[01:06] <Jetfire> and stupid nvidia site wants me to install java so it can detect auto my gpu
[01:06] <SilverSlimer> the problem some laptop owners have (in windows anyway) is that using the standard nvidia installer for the laptop gpu will result in the installer saying that no supported gpu was found
[01:06] <SilverSlimer> however, that should not be the case on linux at all
[01:07] <Jetfire> so ,whats the problem?

[01:07] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu.html
[01:07] <lenz> because it's too many manually
[01:08] <SilverSlimer> do it that way
[01:08] <jrib> lenz: I mean why do you want to delete them?
[01:08] <SilverSlimer> however i can'T help but notice the omission of the 630m in the list of supported cards
[01:08] <Aprel> lenz: rmdir * -- rmdir only removes empty directories. See rmdir man page for proof
[01:09] <Jetfire> last time i tried this it fucked up my resolution to 680* and no larger one
[01:09] <Jetfire> so i needed to reinstall.
[01:09] <lenz> thanks Aprel
[01:09] <Jetfire> it syas that nvidia is already to the newest version
[01:09] <Jetfire> LOL
[01:09] <lenz> jrih I'm restructuring from ALBUM / (files) to ARTIST/ ALBUM / files
[01:10] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: yeah, it's probably due to some libraries being on the computer
[01:10] <Jetfire> so what to do?
[01:10] <resting> i have php5-pgsql installed, is there anyway to get it to work with php53?
[01:10] <sp00ky> anyone have any ideas regarding my wireless issue?
[01:10] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: did you try the hard way in these instructions? http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Latest-Nvidia-Drivers-in-Ubuntu-13-04-350497.shtml
[01:11] <linelevel> [bump] Hi guys. My install of postgresql became messed up, so I tried to `purge` and re-`install` it, but the installation gives me an error: "Error: could not create default cluster. Please create it manually with  pg_createcluster 9.1 main --start"  -- But that command fails with "Error: move_conffile: required configuration file /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf does not exist"
[01:11] <linelevel> Can anyone please help?
[01:13] <Alegreya> i want an ubuntu pocket pc
[01:13] <Aprel> Is there anyway to copy an ubuntu-bootable partition to RAM before boot from a flashdrive, and then boot from the image in ram?
[01:13] <lenz> Alegreya, we all do
[01:14] <SilverSlimer> aprel: wow, what you needed was a lot more complicated than i thought
[01:14] <reisio> Aprel: that's basically what any liveusb install image does
[01:15] <Jetfire> SilverSlimer:i have trouble with scanning the GPU.
[01:15] <Jetfire> i did tar zxvf the java
[01:15] <SilverSlimer> reisio: i was thinking the same thing but the liveusb image is accessed from time to time on the usb key. i think he wants all access to be purely in ram
[01:15] <Jetfire> it created folder but doesnt work yet
[01:15] <zykotick9> reisio: ahh, most livecd don't run from ram, just sayin'
[01:15] <reisio> sure they do
[01:15] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: you're not using a vaio per chance are you?
[01:16] <Jetfire> dont know whats that.
[01:16] <Aprel> SilverSlimer: no! Don't worry! I took note of your answer too. It was good. Basically I've got an idea for a bootable ubuntu image in my head and just researching and throwing out ideas to figure out how I best want to accomplish it :)
[01:16] <andres__> ALGUIEN Q HABLE ESPAÑOL!
[01:16] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: a sony vaio .. what kind of laptop is it?
[01:16] <Jetfire> i just want to run stupid java so i can scan my gpu and dw the drivers.
[01:16] <Jetfire> DELL Inspiron 5720.
[01:16] <Aprel> andres__: mejor preguntar en #ubuntu-es
[01:17] <Alegreya> https://www.infoworld.com/d/security/true-tales-of-mostly-white-hat-hacking-222831
[01:17] <Aprel> reisio: I want to plug in the usb, move it all to ram, and remove the usb. Is that supported by default on usb installs?
[01:18] <OerHeks> Alegreya, must we read that?
[01:18] <Alegreya> no
[01:18] <OerHeks> Alegreya, then don't spam please.
[01:18] <reisio> Aprel: nope
[01:18] <Alegreya> wrong window
[01:18] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: i'd suggest looking up the model of the pc on duckduckgo (or google) with nvidia and ubuntu in the search
[01:18] <SilverSlimer> like 'dell inspiron nvidia ubuntu' to see if other people had such issues
[01:19] <Aprel> reisio: k. I've had good luck using the livecd w the toram boot option. Is there something like that with usb installs?
[01:19] <Jetfire> SilverSlimer: check this out mate ,http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201202-10404/
[01:19] <Jetfire> do you think it will include the drivers into System Settings >Additional Drivers
[01:19] <reisio> Aprel: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22liveusb%22%20%22toram%22 looks promising
[01:20] <Aprel> reisio: basically, I want to have a read-write ubuntu install, customize it how I want, then make it read-only, even maybe burn to dvd if possible
[01:20] <Aprel> reisio: k, I'll check that link.
[01:20] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: certified for ubuntu doesn't mean nvidia will work, it means that video will work
[01:20] <SilverSlimer> through nouveau
[01:21] <Jetfire> i see.
[01:21] <Jetfire> damn this driver installs are very painfull game.
[01:21] <Jetfire> i will leave it for another day.
[01:21] <Jetfire> tell me about the java?
[01:21] <Jetfire> why it doesnt work after i did tar zxvf?
[01:21] <naryfa> hello
[01:21] <reisio> hi naryfa
[01:23] <SilverSlimer> jetfire: define 'doesn't work'
[01:23] <draconus2> or just paste the error...
[01:25] <Xabster> any info on which CPU will be in the Ubuntu Edge phone?
[01:26] <fatliped> Zimmerman saved the lives of people today. You know the WHITE mexican. According to the media he was white to kickstart riots.
[01:26] <Aprel> is that person around who wanted to use sudo without a password? Just realized the ubuntu livecd uses sudo without a password, so it's possible.  We couldn't come up with how to, but I think they have left now....
[01:28] <naryfa> Aprel: if you still need it I can share it, let me know
[01:29] <Caelthunderwing> got bit of a question. can you use DD to restore an image back to an HDD as in a raw write back to the HDD?
[01:29] <Aprel> naryfa: wel sure! For curiosity's sake. Plus maybe the origial asker will check the logs.
[01:29] <naryfa> Caelthunderwing: you should, what's the image?
[01:30] <genii> Caelthunderwing: Of course.
[01:30] <Caelthunderwing> naryfa, this: http://theisozone.com/downloads/playstation/tools/ps2-hacked-hdd-psbbn032-uleoplesrgsmbb3-or-free-hdboot/ normally you use a windows PC and use a program called "Rawcopy"
[01:31] <Caelthunderwing> i have atm my old PS (this is ancient Linux though like kernel 2.2 old) and it still has the DD utility
[01:31] <Caelthunderwing> just none of my PC's are old enough to still have an IDE interface
[01:32] <hydester> anybody using a seagate hybrid SSD/HDD with ubuntu?  thumbs up or down?  thanks
[01:33] <naryfa> Caelthunderwing: okay, but does it create a file with an extension? What is the image?
[01:33] <OerHeks> !anybody | hydester
[01:33] <Caelthunderwing> the image is pre-made and the extension is imgc
[01:34] <naryfa> Caelthunderwing: I doubt it then, try picking it with DD, but I don't think it will know what to do with it
[01:34] <Caelthunderwing> is there any then Imaging utilties that'll do a blind Raw write?
[01:35] <naryfa> it isn't raw per se, it is "raw" to that program which created it, without converting the file, it's hard to tell
[01:35] <genii> Caelthunderwing: If the image was made without compression dd can do it. If compression was used then it won't work.
[01:36] <naryfa> Aprel: sudo visudo, and then change all the lines that have ALL=(ALL) ALL to ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[01:37] <Aprel> naryfa: ah, i see
[01:37] <wilee-nilee> naryfa, Advising no password is against channel policy
[01:37] <wilee-nilee> and a stupid thing to do
[01:37] <OerHeks> naryfa, good job wrecking a system beyond repair if something is going wrong.
[01:38] <naryfa> anything else?
[01:38] <Caelthunderwing> this is going to take awhile @_@ the PS2 only has32MB ram and only 22MB avilable to the OS after boot .
[01:39] <wilee-nilee> Aprel, The live cd is read not write thats why it has no password your install is read and write, that is a bad idea.
[01:39] <Aprel> everyone, please be calm. This goes back to a question asked several hours ago (asked by someone who isn't logged in anymore), and no one knew how to answer it. At the time, everyone advised against it, but the asker still wanted an answer.
[01:39] <wilee-nilee> simple answer
[01:40] <OerHeks> Aprel, please follow the channelrules, thanks.
[01:41] <Aprel> The "toram" boot option--is that available on all ubuntu installs, or just the livecd?
[01:43] <MatHall> anyone running MIR
[01:44] <reisio> I'm running ISS
[01:44] <raymond> MatHall, I have before.  Back to X awaiting proper dual head support.
[01:44] <OerHeks> MatHall, next ubuntu 13.10 uses xMir, as a transit to 14.04 with Mir
[01:45] <naryfa> wilee-nilee: have you ever tried running the whole system at a root level?
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> MatHall, I have ubuntu running in a red potatoe
[01:45] <dcope> hey all, what is the proper channel for ubuntu edge?
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> dcope, #ubuntu-touch
[01:45] <MatHall> I'm trying MIR, in XMIR mode now.  unity is slow but works
[01:46] <dcope> wilee-nilee: thank you
[01:46] <wilee-nilee> no probs
[01:46] <Caelthunderwing> seems to be working now genii  looks like it could take a bit the image is lil over 233MB
[01:47] <DWSR> Does adding keys to the ssh-agent daemon make them permanent? I can't remember.
[01:48] <causasui> what app do I want to use to monitor hard drive temperature in ubuntu 13? I have psensor but it only seems to track CPU and mobo temp
[01:48] <reisio> causasui: what'd be the point
[01:48] <DWSR> causasui: You shouldn't be worrying about HDD temperature.
[01:48] <causasui> DWSR: they are there until the ssh-agent is closed, ie on reboot
[01:48] <naryfa> causasui: what about lm_sensors
[01:48] <causasui> I am worrying about it because SMART data says the HDD has overheated before and the PC shuts down with overheating and I want to rule everything I can out.
[01:49] <causasui> it's a laptop btw
[01:49] <evlapix> I'm having a bit of an issue with permissions.. A user doesn't have permission over a file/folder owned by themselves. How can that be?
[01:49] <reisio> monitoring the temperature won't rule it out
[01:49] <reisio> replacing the hard disk will
[01:49] <causasui> so again: is there a way to check HDD temperature live or is smart the only way?
[01:51] <wilee-nilee> causasui, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto and I use a conky with it.
[01:51] <naryfa> causasui: I would tell you but I'm affraid I will break some channel rules haha
[01:51]  * wilee-nilee love to ignore morons
[01:51] <naryfa> oh boy, later people
[01:52] <reisio> later
[01:52] <DragonDon> whoa, how do I fix window  'stuttering'?  http://i.imgur.com/DjxO9a7.jpg
[01:52] <wilee-nilee> loces..plural
[01:52] <reisio> DragonDon: faster hardware
[01:52] <reisio> more ramalammadingdong
[01:52] <raymond> causasui, if your laptop is overheating, and shutting down due to overheating; the hard drive is not the most likely cause.   Haha. Ciao.
[01:53] <reisio> DragonDon: why ask if you have all the answers :p
[01:53] <DragonDon> reisio, there were no answers there.  Just pointing out that your answer did not make sense.
[01:53] <raymond> causasui, you can get it to update by the second if you open up a console and type:   while true; do sudo hddtemp /dev/sda; sleep 1; done Just replace /dev/sda with whatever your primary drive is.
[01:54] <Prufrock> raymond, hi :)
[01:54] <reisio> could say the same thing to that :p
[01:54] <raymond> Prufrock, hello. :)  Did it work?
[01:55] <Prufrock> raymond, well, I did as you said, tried kernel version 3.9, but there was a major problem: My internet card didn't work, so I wasn't able to connect to the internet.
[01:56] <drycoo> what's a good mp3 tag editor for ubuntu?
[01:57] <reisio> drycoo: exfalso from quodlibet
[01:57] <reisio> drycoo: or id3v2 for batch stuff
[01:57] <raymond> causasui, Though, if your issue is overheating causing shutdowns, it's most likely your CPU or GPU.  What kind of video card do you have?
[01:58] <drycoo> thanks reisio, the one who always helps quickly ^_*
[01:58] <reisio> the ^ makes him look smiley
[01:59] <raymond> Prufrock, hmm.. that's not good.. I wonder why it didn't work.. :|  What kind of wifi card do you have?
[02:00] <drycoo> pardon me, reisio , a non-native-English here! Didn't undertand what did you mean?
[02:00] <samuel> hello guys
[02:00] <samuel> so who here is getting the ubuntu edge?
[02:00] <reisio> drycoo: 's'okay :)
[02:00] <Ari-Yang> !offtopic > samuel
[02:00] <drycoo> ^__^ reisio
[02:00] <reisio> :D
[02:01] <drycoo> !offtopic > drycoo
[02:01] <causasui> raymond: thanks, I have some experience with this sort of thing though, I don't believe it's the CPU. unfortunately the hdd doesn't have a temperature sensor
[02:02] <Aprel> evlapix: sometimes with certain umask settings, it's possible for a user to create a file and be the ower but have no permissions on it.
[02:02] <drycoo> !flood > drycoo
[02:02] <Aprel> evlapix: if it's a oneshot issue, you can just chmod the file to get back perms.
[02:02] <Prufrock> raymond, I can't seem to find the "System info" thing (I don't remember the exact name but it's where you get all the information about your machine's specifications).
[02:02] <causasui> also, am I suposed to be seeing a bunch of ads in ubuntu?
[02:02] <causasui> +p
[02:02] <drycoo> !rules > drycoo
[02:03] <wilee-nilee> causasui, Can all be turned off.
[02:03] <raymond> Prufrock, Paste to pastebin the output of lspci
[02:03] <drycoo> !ubottu > drycoo
[02:04] <evlapix> Aprel: Should this have fixed it then? http://pastebin.com/AEBmHC5z
[02:04] <sp00ky> I'm getting a lot of invalid misc. errors with my wireless using 12.04.  does anyone know how I can fix this?
[02:04] <Xabster> donate me 600$ so i can preorder Edge :(
[02:04] <elisa87> how can I fix this error? pam_mount(spawn.c:128): error setting uid to 0
[02:04] <Prufrock> raymond, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5902610/
[02:04] <wilee-nilee> sp00ky, How about the errors and the card for the channel.
[02:06] <evlapix> Aprel: Better paste: http://pastebin.com/3eLn72hp
[02:06] <DWSR> If I used gddrescue to create an image of an entire disk, how can I get the files out from that image.
[02:06] <reisio> DWSR: mount it
[02:07] <reisio> DWSR: http://www.andremiller.net/content/mounting-hard-disk-image-including-partitions-using-linux
[02:07] <reisio> next time use rsync, tar, or cp -a
[02:08] <sp00ky> wilee-nilee, http://pastebin.com/mghZh2qq
[02:08] <raymond> Prufrock, yeah.. :( your wireless driver doesn't work with 3.9
[02:08] <Aprel> evlapix: does user logstash own the dir logstash?
[02:08] <histo> DWSR: you need to mount the partitions inside of the image so first you have to determine the offset to them.
[02:09] <Prufrock> raymond, temporarily of course, right?
[02:10] <evlapix> Aprel: Yes. drw-r--r--+  2 logstash      logstash          4096 Jul 23 01:57 logstash
[02:11] <Aprel> evlapix: you need to use chmod 755 on dir logstash because the user needs exec perms on a dir to get inside of it.
[02:12] <agugu> hello there
[02:12] <agugu> anyone uses system76 laptop here?
[02:12] <wilee-nilee> sp00ky, I can't help you but was trying to get you to share enough with the channel so someone can, run lspci and identify the wifi if an internal
[02:13] <Prufrock> agugu, I'd love to get me one.. :(
[02:13] <kieppie> howdy
[02:13] <evlapix> Aprel: http://pastebin.com/rkNPc97a
[02:13] <Caelthunderwing> hmm shoulda guessed ".imgc" was a compressed image by RawCopy
[02:13] <OerHeks> hi agugu, there are many system76 laptops, why son't you ask the real question and find out?
[02:13] <kieppie> I'm running 13.04 on a btrfs SSD
[02:13] <Caelthunderwing> but while it left a invalid partitining scheme it did work
[02:13] <agugu> alright :)
[02:13] <kieppie> I'm havng difficulty getting hibernation to work
[02:13] <kieppie> pm-hibernate does absolutely nothing
[02:13] <Caelthunderwing> (just to uncompress and do it again.)
[02:14] <wilee-nilee> kieppie, I assume there is a swap in there right?
[02:14] <agugu> the real question is if I were to choose between an t430 and one of the system76 based laptops
[02:14] <agugu> which one may be best for ubuntu 13.04
[02:14] <agugu> i will be mostly looking for larger ram to run VMs as well as good CPU power,
[02:15] <agugu> t430 do not have haswell cpus yet
[02:15] <sp00ky> 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 (rev 34)
[02:15] <agugu> but system76 does
[02:15] <OerHeks> agugu, "and one of the system76 laptops" ... there are MANY!
[02:15] <Nothing_Much> t430?
[02:15] <kieppie> wilee-nilee: a seperate swap partition, yes. I tried setting up a swapfile, but no dice. but yes, `swapon -s` shows an active swap space
[02:15] <OerHeks> !hcl > agugu
[02:16] <Ari-Yang> OerHeks, I think agugu is referring to this laptop https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/galu1
[02:16] <Aprel> evlapix: that's a mystery to me. I don't know why the owner has at least as many perms as the "other" group, but the "other" can access it but not the owner.
[02:16] <wilee-nilee> kieppie, Have you checked on the manufacturers model and hibernate running ubuntu some don't work, I have no idea in regards to btrfs
[02:17] <agugu> got the link ubottu
[02:17] <agugu> thx
[02:17] <kieppie> wilee-nilee: I've had hypernation working on this HP mini 110 netbook on a previous release (12.04 I believe)
[02:17] <raymond> Prufrock, I suggest filing a bug about your kernel panic.  Post the picture of the error message and everything.  the command to do so is:  ubuntu-bug linux-image
[02:18] <Prufrock> raymond, thank you very much. I will do it right away. :)

[02:18] <wilee-nilee> sp00ky, You might look through these threads. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=Centrino+Wireless-N+1030+

[02:18] <FloodBot1> Bradford: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:18] <DWSR> histo: And if the partition table is mangled and isn't recognizable?
[02:19] <evlapix> Aprel: Here's the test case I've been working with: http://pastebin.com/emxYwpfz
[02:20] <histo> DWSR: Then I would use testdisk to repair it
[02:20] <histo> DWSR: how did it get mangled?
[02:20] <histo> DWSR: Or if you have knowledge on how it was partitioned you could guess the offset reliably
[02:20] <OerHeks> Ari-Yang, that would be i7 vs i5
[02:20] <DWSR> histo: It's a flash drive that has failed.
[02:21] <Cerales> Is there any way to get SSLv2 support without recompiling OpenSSL? I don't really want to compile OpenSSL on production systems, nor run my own packaging server.
[02:21] <napsc> agugu: One of the computers i have is a system 76.  No problems with 13.04.  Only thing i don't like is their shipping policy.  it's always on you.
[02:21] <Aprel> evlapix: the only thing I can think of is that user logstash has shell disabled and that's causing it, but I don't know.
[02:22] <histo> DWSR: Why do you think the parittion table is hosed?
[02:22] <DWSR> histo: Because the flash drive failed.
[02:22] <DWSR> histo: And gddrescue had about a 1GB chunk of data that it didn't get recovered.
[02:22] <histo> DWSR: parted /path/to/imagefile
[02:23] <evlapix> Aprel: That sounds promising. How can I check that?
[02:23] <wilee-nilee> kieppie, Just for chuckles I assume you know the test if it works, not questioning your skills I just start at the simplest varibles. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html
[02:23] <DWSR> histo: Unrecognized disk label.
[02:23] <histo> DWSR: make sure you are specifying the path to your image file
[02:23] <DWSR> histo: I'm not super worried, honestly. It's mostly just configuration data that can be recovered very easily/.
[02:24] <DWSR> histo: I am
[02:24] <histo> DWSR: sudo parted /path/to/imagefile
[02:24] <DWSR> histo: Yep.
[02:24] <DWSR> It whined when I didn't do it as root, so I did it as root. Same result.
[02:24] <histo> DWSR: How was it partitioned one big partition?
[02:25] <kieppie> cheers wilee-nilee: I have run `sudo pm-hibernate` for test, but nothing happens, although the log seems OK. will pastebin
[02:25] <DWSR> histo: No, it was using the guided partition installer.
[02:26] <DWSR> 16GB flash stick.
[02:26] <histo> DWSR: what did you have installed there?
[02:26] <DWSR> histo: Ubuntu.
[02:26] <histo> DWSR: well then / should be the first partition using mbr partitioning most likely
[02:26] <DWSR> histo: It is, afaik
[02:27] <DWSR> wait.
[02:27] <histo> DWSR: okay one sec
[02:27] <DWSR> I think I recovered only the partition.
[02:27] <DWSR> Let me try.
[02:27] <histo> DWSR: well if that's the case then just mount it
[02:27] <Aprel> evlapix: check the /etc/passwd file.
[02:27] <DWSR> mount -t ext4 /path/to/file.img /mountpoint?
[02:28] <histo> DWSR: although you will have filessytem errors with 1gb of it being non recoverable
[02:28] <DWSR> histo: Yeah, I'm just looking for a few specific files. Don't care about most of the rest
[02:29] <DWSR> histo: Nope, still won't mount
[02:29] <DWSR> histo: Bad superblock, opt, or wrong fs type.
[02:30] <DWSR> histo: dmesg complains about bada geometry.
[02:30] <DWSR> bad*
[02:32] <histo> DWSR: Well what was your gddrescue command?
[02:32] <histo> DWSR: you could always carve the image for files
[02:32] <DWSR> histo: Using testdisk?
[02:33] <DWSR> pretty sure it was ddrescure /dev/sdp1 /oldsys/backup.img /oldsys/backup.log
[02:34] <histo> DWSR: yea that would just be the partition. What type of files are you trying to recover?
[02:34] <DWSR> ah, it was ddrescue -f -n /dev/sdp1 /oldsys/backup.img /oldsys/backup.log
[02:34] <DWSR> histo: Config files mostly. An install of headphones, sickbeard, couchpotato, and plexmediaserver.
[02:34] <DWSR> Pretty much don't care about anything else.
[02:35] <histo> DWSR: the issue is they are just text files without a header...
[02:35] <DWSR> There's no way to identify them by the folder they were residing in?
[02:36] <histo> DWSR: So I would try and repair the filesystem and mount it. Or use something like the sleuthkit to copy your data out if it can read the filesystem.
[02:36] <DWSR> meh.
[02:36] <DWSR> Seems like a lot of time and effort that I can just use to reinstall and reconfigure everything.
[02:36] <DWSR> Thanks though
[02:38] <robotdevil> what is the ntfsprogs package called now?
[02:39] <robotdevil> something I can do I scandisk and disk tools for livecd
[02:39] <histo> DWSR: data recovery all has to be measured by time and cost vs. the value of the data
[02:39] <robotdevil> from*
[02:39] <DWSR> histo: Yep.
[02:40] <histo> robotdevil: What are you trying to do repair ntfs from linux?
[02:40] <robotdevil> yes
[02:41] <Taek> robotdevil, did you just seriously say that?
[02:41] <robotdevil> hahahaha
[02:41] <Taek> and actually mean it..
[02:41] <robotdevil> ok will check hiens first but could someone just tell me the name
[02:41] <histo> robotdevil: it's been merged with ntfs-3g
[02:41] <robotdevil> ok so should be installed already
[02:43] <histo> !find ntfsfix
[02:43] <robotdevil> ok
[02:43] <histo> robotdevil: yeap ntfs-3g
[02:43] <robotdevil> thanks
[02:48] <cheetos> is it me or does portal on steam now say its only for windows and mac?
[02:51] <mortal1> does the ubuntuforums.org share the same login / password domain as login.ubuntu.com?
[02:51] <mortal1> ...and was that compromised?
[02:52] <histo> mortal1: did you see the notice on the page?
[02:52] <histo> s/see/read/
[02:53] <Samkov> where can i see a listing (and or search) trusted ubuntu packages. im a debian user so i have no idea where to go lol
[02:54] <histo> !packages | Samkov
[02:54] <Samkov> i mean on a web server, is there any web interface that i can do this on?
[02:55] <newb> hey guys I'm new to ubuntu and I dual boot it with Windows 7 on a dell laptop , lately i've been getting random bugs
[02:55] <tgm4883> Samkov, did you even read the message?
[02:55] <histo> Samkov: packages.ubuntu.com
[02:55] <newb> i just need some general advice, like... is there something you guys do to detect and fix errors like...
[02:55] <Samkov> ;)
[02:55] <histo> newb: log files
[02:56] <histo> Samkov: just like ubottu said
[02:56] <newb> histo:   ahh yes i've seen those!  what do you run to see like... the overall health of Ubuntu running on your system?
[02:57] <newb> I've been using bleachbit and it shows i have "120-something errors"
[02:57] <newb> anyone else use bleachbit?
[02:57] <histo> newb: Not familiar with bleachbit at all. If i have a problem with something I check logs
[02:58] <xmetal> i use bleachbit on a few different OS's
[02:59] <newb> xmetal:  ever use it on ubuntu and see the "errors " line?
[02:59] <newb> is it saying, it has corrected or detected errors?
[02:59] <histo> newb: what sort of errors is it whinning about?
[03:00] <xmetal> a temp file/location cleaner, detected and corrected errors?
[03:00] <lauratika> my system says i dont have swap space, but i add 4.5 gb of swapspace what can be the problem, why is not recognize by ubuntu?
[03:01] <newb> it just says errors... hmm
[03:01] <dlo121985> hello
[03:01] <newb> histo:  it appears i need to read up on log files and how to use them.  is this the bottom line for Ubuntu OS fixing?  how did you learn it? any reccomendations?
[03:01] <dlo121985> does anybody know how to look at the temperature logs in Ubuntu?
[03:02] <dlo121985> I'm afraid my computer is overheating and suddenly rebooting
[03:02] <histo> dlo121985: /var/log/messages may gleam some info
[03:02] <histo> !cli | newb
[03:03] <dlo121985> Thanks! I'll check that out
[03:03] <histo> newb: so because some third party program is saying there are errors you are concerned?
[03:03] <th0r> histo: isn't it /var/log/syslog now?
[03:03] <dlo121985> let me check
[03:03] <histo> th0r: whereever
[03:04] <th0r> histo: threw me for a loop too...still messages in debian, but ubuntu has I think changed it to syslog
[03:04] <dlo121985> it is /var/log/syslog
[03:04] <dlo121985> do you know of anything specifically i should be looking for?
[03:04] <histo> th0r: dlo121985 Not running ubuntu atm
[03:04] <histo> dlo121985: track back to when your system shutoff
[03:04] <newb> histo:     "!cli"    and yes somewhat,  i mean i just had this really frustrating erro where adjusting brightness would cause Ubuntu to crash unrecoverably
[03:05] <newb> histo:  what does "!cli"  mean?
[03:05] <dlo121985> histo: Thanks, I'll try that.
[03:05] <newb> i fixed that error though,
[03:06] <newb> but... every now and then Ubuntu will crash for some other currently unknown reasons...  so log files seems the way to go
[03:07] <histo> newb: !cli was a bot trigger to have ubottu tell you info about the command line
[03:08] <histo> newb: your brightness issue could be caused by some bug with your particular hardware. You can try passing some kernel options at boot to see
[03:09] <histo> newb: acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=legacy   try adding those to your kernel line during boot
[03:10] <newb> ah yes, this Unbuntu install is still pretty fresh, idk how the drivers worked out and uhh oh I fixed the brightness thing, googled it. and i added something to the grab default that looked a lot like what you said there, but different
[03:10] <newb> *grub
[03:11] <newb> also when my wifi is on and off constantly ...sometimes when I'm at my college, because they prompt for user credentials...
[03:11] <hemache> Hello everybody
[03:12] <DuncanNZ> hemache: hi
[03:13] <evlapix> Aprel: No difference between nginx and logstash: http://pastebin.com/ZYm8SSmZ
[03:13] <thurstylark> Why does vinagre not accept my password that is longer than 8 characters?
[03:14] <DuncanNZ> thurstylark: what does it do instead? what OS are you connecting to?
[03:14] <hemache> has anyone tried the new command line pastebin named QPaste ?
[03:15] <thurstylark> DuncanNZ: i'm connecting to a Mac. Vinagre will only let me type a maximum of 8 characters in the password box.
[03:15] <ianorlin> no I use pastebinit
[03:15] <OerHeks> thurstylark, old bug > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/483696
[03:15] <Aprel> evlapix: That's very strange. You should try asking your question again when more people are around. Surely someone will have an answer, but I am stumped.
[03:16] <DuncanNZ> thurstylark: hmm that's odd, my password (to a windows vnc server) is 6 chars long, and I never realised this limit but yes I can reproduce
[03:16] <DuncanNZ> what an odd thing to be a bug in the first place, it's like they randomly set maxlength to 8. there must be a reason
[03:16] <DuncanNZ> I'll look at the bug report
[03:17] <thurstylark> DuncanNZ: Thanks!
[03:17] <evlapix> Aprel: You're being stumped is a good clue. Thanks for your help.
[03:17] <cheetos> is portal for linux no longer availalbe for linux? http://store.steampowered.com/app/400/
[03:17] <linux> I had my home network server connected but it is not showing up in dolphin any more. using precise 12.04. Any way to reconnect?
[03:18] <DuncanNZ> thurstylark: Yep the bug report says it's part of the VNC spec, so actually your Mac is non-conformant. You should just use a shorter password.
[03:20] <histo> linux: just like you connected to it before
[03:20] <thurstylark> DuncanNZ: welp. poop.
[03:20] <thurstylark> DuncanNZ: thanks for the info!
[03:20] <histo> cheetos: you'd probably have to contact steam and ask them
[03:20] <histo> cheetos: or valve
[03:20] <DuncanNZ> thurstylark: np. I think that's really weirdtoo
[03:20] <DuncanNZ> *weird too
[03:20] <OerHeks> cheetos, or try #ubuntu-steam
[03:20] <linux> I do not know where it went do not remember if it was dolphin? It just appeared.
[03:22] <OerHeks> DuncanNZ, agreed, like outlook.com is limited to 16 digits
[03:22] <cheetos> yea
[03:32] <ghostnik11> i can't see my display screen on my laptop since i installed linux distro
[03:32] <ghostnik11> is there anyway i can see my laptop display
[03:33] <holstein> ghostnik11: i would need more details
[03:34] <ghostnik11> i have a lenovo ideapad s400 and just installed linux mint but after installation i can't see any think on my laptop screen so i have used a hdmi cable and connected the display to my tv
[03:34] <holstein> ghostnik11: try ubuntu.. try a xubuntu live CD
[03:34] <holstein> !xubuntu
[03:35] <holstein> ghostnik11: xubuntu uses XFCE which might work better with your hardware
[03:35] <holstein> !mint | ghostnik11
[03:36] <xmetal> really ?
[03:36] <xmetal> i was almost going to dowlnoad xubuntu tomorrow ... would have been foolish i guess since i have the xfce packages "seperately"
[03:41] <MidnightNinja_> Can anyone tell me how to increase the size of an ubuntu installation?(NOT WUBI)
[03:41] <MidnightNinja_> I have some extra free space, and Id like to migrate that to my ubuntu installation
[03:41] <lauratika> videos and music paus right after selected in clementine and in youtube...
[03:41] <lauratika> i dont have audio
[03:41] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: i use gparted from a live CD
[03:42] <MidnightNinja_> I can just extend the partition without wiping it?
[03:42] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: you should *always* have backups.. since all hard drives fail
[03:43] <MidnightNinja_> Holstein: so the only way to do this is to format the drive and repartition it
[03:43] <DragonDon_> here here holstein !
[03:44] <lauratika> it was working fine, but after reboot isnt working any more
[03:44] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: no.. you literally stretch the partition out with a live CD using gparted, as i said. if you want me to say, it wont break, i answer with, you should have backups anyway
[03:44] <xmetal> audicous (sp?) is what i use for audio
[03:44] <MidnightNinja_> holstein: how do you recommend I make a backup?
[03:45] <MidnightNinja_> or do you mean just backup my files?
[03:45] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: however you will constantly do that.. clonezilla clones.. cloud storage such as a website, or ubuntuone or dropbox.. or a big hard drive, via USB or network
[03:45] <MidnightNinja_> ah gotcha
[03:45] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: i mean, you hit the power button, and that drive is dead.. whatever you would want, and however you woul back that up
[03:46] <lauratika> now video is working but no audio coming, test in audio preference also wont bring any sound
[03:46] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: plan for that, and if anything goes wrong while you are growing the partition out, and it can, though its likely not going to happen.. you will be fine, and prepared
[03:46] <MidnightNinja_> gotcha
[03:46] <MidnightNinja_> holstein: thanks for the help!
[03:46] <holstein> MidnightNinja_: sure
[03:47] <MidnightNinja_> okay, be back in a bit with a hopefully larger partition!
[03:47] <joubin> Has anyone seen this: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge

[03:48] <holstein> lauratika: youtube is flash.. please open a known good audio file in a known good player, and get it playing.. open pavucontrol (install it if you dont have it)
[03:49] <xmetal> i have to say if i had a limited amount of apps/tools with me (software wise), Gparted with be near the top of the list
[03:49] <lauratika> holstein: no audio from clementine, or youtube or the cd rom
[03:49] <lauratika> in alsamixxer all volumes are up
[03:50] <holstein> lauratika: youtube is irrelvant, and we are not going to discuss it, ok?
[03:50] <holstein> lauratika: it is flash
[03:50] <holstein> lauratika: get a known good audio playing playing a known good audio file, and open pavucontrol, please
[03:50] <lauratika> holstein: yeah, the whole point is no source of audio is working, ok?
[03:50] <holstein> lauratika: OK.. would you like to wait for another volunteer
[03:50] <holstein> ?
[03:51] <lauratika> what ever works best for you, im sintalling pavucontrol
[03:52] <lauratika> now is open
[03:53] <holstein> if you get an audio file playing, you should see the meters moving, and be able to route.. you should see if your device is loaded
[03:53] <lauratika> i try to play the audio but is paused some how
[03:54] <lauratika> meters are not moving
[03:54] <holstein> lauratika: then, open another player, and get it playing without pausing it
[03:55] <lauratika> yes,  thsta the weird thing is not playing at all, totem or clementine
[03:55] <lauratika> it wont play at all
[03:56] <pepper_chico> can anyone help me here, I've setup my PATH variable with additional values at my .bashrc, which is also sourced by my .profile file. Anyway, when I start an application, like GVIM, from some launcher instead from the bash, it doesn't start with PATH, I mean, the bash environment, properly inherented and set
[03:56] <pepper_chico> how to fix this?
[03:56] <lauratika> is like is in pause, but im not pausing , more like stop, then hit play and nothing. in clementine or totem

[04:00] <holstein> lauratika: did you do an upgrade? and reboot? and it was like this? do you have usb audio devices connected? do you have a live CD handy to test the hardware?
[04:01] <lauratika> only thing i did was changing swap space in fstab and installing airtime, and yes i have a live cd
[04:02] <holstein> lauratika: then, you can update and try, since you havent.. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and reboot
[04:02] <lauratika> this is the output when trying to play a file from clementine from terminal. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5902839/

[04:12] <poz> anyone know how to customize the dash?
[04:13] <jubei> Guys I have a weird problem.  Even though I upgraded to 13.04 sometimes ( usually on my 1st boot) it boots into ubuntu 12.10 and offers me to upgrade my system. If then just reboot it almost always reboots into 13.04
[04:14] <holstein> jubei: sounds like you are dual booting.. and having grub isues
[04:14] <holstein> issues*
[04:16] <jubei> holstein, any ideas on how to resolve them?
[04:16] <nydel> anyone ever use a system76 computer? i'm thinking about ordering one of their ubuntu-ready laptops
[04:16] <holstein> jubei: i would confirm if you are dual booting or not, and if you are, and dont want to be, remove 12.10, and leave only 13.04, and reset grub, or reinstall it
[04:17] <holstein> nydel: i have. the only reason not to is the cost, though they are a good value
[04:18] <lauratika> same as the ubuntu phone 600 for 24 launch
[04:18] <holstein> nydel: i plan on purchasing system76 for the out of the box support
[04:18] <poz> anyone know how to resize the dash in unity?
[04:19] <holstein> poz: im sure you cant do what you are wanting to do by defaul
[04:19] <holstein> default*
[04:19] <nydel> holstein: the middle-of-the-line laptop comes to just over $1k with no bells & whistles, just memory upgrade - i don't think that's //too// bad
[04:19] <poz> holstein, what are you suggesting?
[04:19] <holstein> poz: i havent suggested anything yet
[04:19] <xangua> poz: clic the maximize/restore button
[04:19] <nydel> holstein: do you know of any other linux-friendly options? my other plan is to buy a cheap HP & reformat it
[04:19] <somsip> !info mysql
[04:19] <poz> holstein, good, becuase it sounded like you were suggesting that ubuntu cant resize a window
[04:20] <somsip> !info mysqld
[04:20] <somsip> !info mysql-server
[04:20] <poz> xangua, it goes fullscreen to just 'large'
[04:20] <holstein> poz: if this unsupported 3rd party ppa package doesnt do what you want, try another DE http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/unity-tweak-tool-is-now-available-in-raring
[04:20] <xangua> holstein: poz it does not
[04:21] <OerHeks> poz hold ctrl + use scrollwheel
[04:21] <holstein> poz: you are not asking to "resize a window".. you are asking to resize system elements are are made to work within parameters
[04:21] <holstein> poz: there are *many* other options if you find you cannot make unity look/feel as you want
[04:21] <poz> OerHeks, no workie
[04:22] <poz> holstein, the tweak tool does not do it. but thank you for trying
[04:22] <poz> i will keep looking. but there are more importent matters... has everyone bought there ubuntu edge?!
[04:23] <OerHeks> poz how is that important?
[04:23] <poz> Because they need to make their target.
[04:23] <poz> of 32 mill
[04:23] <poz> for me to get my phone
[04:23] <poz> and to support ubuntu
[04:25] <sirdeseagull> the ubuntu phone is already out?
[04:25] <genii> sirdeseagull: March next year, hopefully.
[04:26] <genii> May, rather
[04:26] <sirdeseagull> nice, ive seen the video about it, i hope it really is what they say it is and plus
[04:27] <poz> sirdeseagull, go buy one!
[04:27] <nassepossu> apparently update from 25 to 26 broke my touchpad support, how can i reinstall the update or do something else smart?
[04:27] <holstein> they are talking about the edge phone in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel
[04:27] <poz> http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge
[04:27] <xangua> nassepossu: did you try the previous kernel¿
[04:28] <nassepossu> i used the boot menus option to start ubuntu <something> 30.0(?).25
[04:28] <nassepossu> and it works here
[04:28] <nassepossu> *3...
[04:29] <poz> thanks holstein
[04:31] <nassepossu> yea, i'm currently on 3.8.0-25-generic and the one above (3.8.0-31??) causes ubuntu to not detect touchpad
[04:32] <genii> nassepossu: I had a similar issue recently, reinstalling xserver-xorg-input-synaptics worked.
[04:35] <RaveYoda> Hello everyone. OK, I've got a bit of a problem. For a while now whenever I install/remove/ or just do anything remotely oriented towards program management the system freezes at the point of configuring the program.
[04:36] <RaveYoda> I can still use the system but the program refuses to configure leaving itself in a broken state
[04:36] <Coburn> RaveYoda: have you looked at 'top' in a terminal to ensure it's not busy doing something?
[04:37] <RaveYoda> Yup, it sits there untill i kill the process and remove the dpkg locks
[04:38] <RaveYoda> then i have to sudo dpkg --configure -a the system to load up synaptic or anything else for that matter
[04:38] <RaveYoda> it still doesn't config the said program
[04:39] <RaveYoda> This has happened with virtualbox and wicd
[04:39] <Coburn> Sounds like you're going to need a reinstall :(
[04:39] <Coburn> Soudns like something's seriously corrupt
[04:39] <Locuan> Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.04 on my hp envy 14 laptop. I am trying to run the setup from a cd. However, after running the cd the screen goes black and nothing appears. However, audio works as I can hear the setup loading to what I guess is the menu. I believe this is a problem with the graphics card since it is switchable graphics. If anyone is able to help me I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
[04:39] <RaveYoda> it also happens with other packages as well. Well, you see, I don't really want to do that. XD
[04:40] <Coburn> RaveYoda: backup your home partition, then get the install disc and bowl it over :P
[04:40] <RaveYoda> Btw, this also happens in Ubuntu-builder
[04:40] <Coburn> Locuan: what GPU do you have? Intel HD Graphics and ATI/nVidia?
[04:40] <RaveYoda> Uggghhh
[04:41] <RaveYoda> Thx....
[04:41] <RaveYoda> =/
[04:41] <Locuan> yep Coburn, Intel HD Graphics/AMD
[04:41] <RaveYoda> Anyone else got any ideas?
[04:41] <Coburn> wait, RaveYoda
[04:41] <Coburn> Before you do that
[04:41] <RaveYoda> Ok?
[04:42] <Coburn> you could... resize the root parition, make a new one, copy /home to that and then when you reformat, your data will be intact
[04:42] <Coburn> in the installer, you just say "use /dev/sda2 for /home, don't format"
[04:42] <Coburn> that way you lose apps but not your data
[04:42] <Coburn> :)
[04:42] <RaveYoda> I'm running two drives. One's an ssd the other an hdd
[04:43] <RaveYoda> this still apply?
[04:43] <Coburn> Where is Ubuntu instaleld?
[04:43] <Coburn> Locuan: Haven't really had any experience with Intel/AMD switchable graphics, I have Intel/nVidia
[04:43] <Coburn> It could be taht the AMD graphics is enabled, but everything is being output to the Intel HD
[04:44] <Coburn> What's your model number, Locuan
[04:44] <Locuan> Coburn: I see, one second let me get that information.
[04:44] <RaveYoda> Well, technically it's Mint and not Ubu; though i've done major renovations with it's sys. I'm going for a minimalist approach and have dumped a lot of core sys packages associated with Mint
[04:45] <RaveYoda> the thing is, it was running swell up till a week ago or so
[04:45] <RaveYoda> anyway, root is on ssd
[04:45] <RaveYoda> home on hdd
[04:45] <Coburn> Well ok
[04:45] <Coburn> then that backup /home doesn't apply then
[04:45] <RaveYoda> I figure i could shrink roots partition and near clone it over
[04:46] <Coburn> since if you hose the SSD, your /home is fine
[04:46] <Coburn> Just reinstall the OS, but make sure you set it to mount the HDD partition in question as /home
[04:46] <Coburn> :)
[04:47] <RaveYoda> XD Done it many a times. I just reallllyyyy don't ant to do that. I feel as if the problem lies with dpkg, apt, or the source files
[04:47] <resting> if my /etc/lsb-release file has been changed…how do i know the original version of my ubuntu?
[04:48] <RaveYoda> Reinstalling is like...the last option on my plate Couburn
[04:48] <rannonga> rest, what do you mean?
[04:48] <rannonga> the version like 13.04?
[04:50] <RaveYoda> I say the laassst option mainly because I seem to "break" my OS every three months. I'm trying to go the "fix it with love or duckt tape" approach
[04:51] <Locuan> Coburn: Prod #: XZ211UA#ABA
[04:51] <RaveYoda> Is there a way to purge purge the repo list a dpkg settings so it's nearly like new?
[04:51] <Coburn> nope afaik
[04:52] <Coburn> Locuan:  Is there a Model #? like ENVY14-002 or something?
[04:52] <holstein> !ppapurge
[04:52] <RaveYoda> Is there a way to purge purge the repo list and dpkg settings so it's nearly like new?
[04:52] <RaveYoda> oops
[04:52] <holstein> RaveYoda: ^
[04:52] <Locuan> Coburn: Model #: 14 - 1260SE
[04:52] <rannonga> ENVY 14-1260SE
[04:52] <Locuan> yep that one
[04:52] <ncd2> hi all
[04:52] <ncd2> do i need any antivirus with ubuntu
[04:53] <Apricot> no
[04:53] <Coburn> ncd2: No, Ubuntu is secure from day 1
[04:53] <Coburn> unlike a certain payware OS :P
[04:53] <rannonga> lol]
[04:53] <Apricot> :))
[04:53] <ncd2> what about firewall
[04:53] <RaveYoda> nci, you don't need it but can get one. Avast has a free one for linux
[04:54] <RaveYoda> thx ubottu
[04:54] <Coburn> ncd2: You have one enabled, but it's more so "stealth". Means that it's got your arse if you need it's protection
[04:54] <genii> RaveYoda: Also there's a vanilla sources.list in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list
[04:54] <rannonga> !clamtk
[04:54] <rannonga> !vlc
[04:54] <Coburn> pardon my not-so-familyfriendly language, but linux saves lives
[04:54] <Coburn> Locuan: http://linuxenvy.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/first-solutions.html (quick google, this should get you sorted!)
[04:54] <ncd2> cool thx
[04:55] <rannonga> is ubottu a bot?
[04:55] <RaveYoda> Ohh?? Do i just cp it to the other location?
[04:55] <Coburn> yes rannonga
[04:55] <rannonga> k thx
[04:55] <Locuan> Coburn: Thanks!
[04:55] <Coburn> Apparently the blacklight, Locuan, gets set to 0%
[04:55] <Coburn> meaning you can't see jack squat
[04:55] <holstein> !bot
[04:55] <Coburn> It's like fumbling around in the dark without a lightswitch
[04:56] <ncd2> so i can have ubuntu side by side with windows?
[04:56] <Locuan> Interesting.
[04:56] <holstein> !dualboot | ncd2
[04:58] <pepper_chico> Is there a way for GUI launched apps to have my environment variables set as configured in .bashrc?
[04:59] <pepper_chico> I meant, to have the env vars inherented
[05:01] <RaveYoda> So, who heard about ubuntu forums getting hacked?
[05:02] <holstein> RaveYoda: i think they heard about it on the #ubuntu-offtopic channel
[05:02] <rannonga> why was it you?
[05:03] <RaveYoda> DX Hell no
[05:03] <RaveYoda> Still, i'm surprised it happened
[05:03] <holstein> !language | RaveYoda
[05:03] <insGadget> that's why I am here. I woke up tody and tried to google how to blacklist my fingerprint reader and got the splash page. I always try the forums first :)
[05:04] <RaveYoda> I find it funny a big selling point for linux is security and yet they get their forums hacked. It's dissapointing
[05:04] <RaveYoda> Ahhh, sorry
[05:05] <insGadget> its people who are jealous from within the Linux community of canonical teams sucess
[05:05] <xangua> !ot | RaveYoda insGadget
[05:06] <insGadget> lol later!
[05:07] <RaveYoda> XD Ugghh, not doing so well with the rules. Sorry everyone. Anyway, back to my problem. Any clues guys on what may be causing the failing of configuring pkgs?
[05:07] <resting> if my /etc/lsb-release file has been changed…how do i know the original version of my ubuntu?
[05:08] <RaveYoda> I've reset my source list but wont know if it fixes anything until I've a chance to give it a go.
[05:12] <RaveYoda> OK, Trying an apt-get update now tells me type '' is not known on line one
[05:14] <DragonDon_> this might sound noobish, but is there a way to restart X and remember currently opened programs/windows?
[05:14] <rannonga> hibernate?
[05:15] <DragonDon_> crap....unity just up and died again....sigh...
[05:15] <rannonga> wow drivers?
[05:15] <RaveYoda> Typing  apt-get update now tells me "type '' is not known on line one"
[05:15] <RaveYoda> now it say deb is not known on line one
 dunno....this is a new install....I reset it once already....this is getting tedious....thinking of ditching unity now...
[05:16] <RaveYoda> Use openbox
[05:16] <RaveYoda> =D
[05:16] <RaveYoda> OR gnome
[05:17] <DragonDon_> yeah....maybe go back to gnome (althought  gnome is one of the reasons why I ended up with Ubuntu from Debian...long story)
[05:17] <RaveYoda> though I prefer lighter desktop mngrs
[05:18] <DragonDon_> so, never having really 'switched' DMs....I'm installing openbox now...how would I set it as the default DMs?  I suspect just running 'openbox' from the terminal will start it...
[05:19] <rannonga> it doesnt really matter, it should be an option when you logout and log back in
[05:19] <DragonDon_> sigh...was hoping I didn't have log out/in again....
[05:19] <rannonga> whats wrong with that?
[05:20] <DragonDon_> because this is a new setup, I've not configured the auto-logins for IRC....pita to type in /msg nickserv stuff again...
[05:20] <webmobi> how can we configure smil file
[05:20] <RaveYoda> Hey, just a heads up...openbox is really light.... Right click to access menues. Also, you may want to get nitrogen so it'll manage your background
[05:20] <rannonga> oh
[05:21] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, what is nitrogen?  I want to run conky to add some live info to my desktop.
[05:21] <webmobi> for streaming two with two bit rate
[05:21] <rannonga> nitrogen is a wallpaper manager, openbox does't come by default with one
[05:21] <rannonga> feh is another one
[05:22] <gag> hi there
[05:22] <DragonDon_> I've got feh installed now....was suggested by one site ....ok, gonna reboot now...
[05:22] <rannonga> k
[05:22] <sin_tax> can anyone help me figure out what is up with this server? I can't get aptitude to upgrade my packages: http://pastebin.com/Fu0ugPFe
[05:22] <RaveYoda> yeah, but nitrogen is cooler. With dual monitors it sets seperate wallpapers for each monitor
[05:23] <sin_tax> lines 10 and 11 of the paste make no sense
[05:23] <rannonga> lol
[05:23] <gag> archive manager is not working in ubuntu 12.04 please anyone can help me..?
[05:24] <gag> i cant able to extract files in ubutnu
[05:24] <rannonga> what files?
[05:25] <aeon-ltd> gag: details of what you're trying to extract and what happens when you try will be useful
[05:25] <gag> rannonga: TAR.GZ,ZIP
[05:25] <rannonga> try using unzip from terminal first it just might be the software
[05:25] <DragonDon_> ok....OB is confusing to use initially....how do I get to any of my programs?
[05:25] <rannonga> right click
[05:26] <DragonDon_> right-click does not give me access to installed stuff....only a few things.
[05:26] <rannonga> also you might want to install a taskbar or dock like tint2 or docky
[05:26] <gag> rannonga: from terminal its working but right click option not working
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> DragonDon_: OB - openbox? you need to configure the menus with obmenu
[05:27] <RaveYoda> Razorqt-pannel is best for pannels
[05:27] <rannonga> k
[05:27] <DragonDon_> aeon-ltd, thanks....run that from a terminal I take it?
[05:27] <DragonDon_> well, have to install obmenu it seems....
[05:27] <aeon-ltd> DragonDon_: :)
[05:29] <jacks1> Hello! After suspending my session when I open my laptop flap again the screen flickers and doesn't boot.
[05:29] <RaveYoda> umm, there is a prog within synaptic to install a menureader that get's ubuntu's default stuff
[05:29] <aeon-ltd> DragonDon_: you can choose to configure the xml files directly though :)
[05:29] <RaveYoda> It's easyer than manually setting it up
[05:29] <rannonga> gag, try reinstalling file-roller
[05:29] <RaveYoda> Plus, razorqt-pannel is not in repos initially
[05:29] <DragonDon_> are the xml files located in the home dir?
[05:30] <aeon-ltd> DragonDon_: hidden in dot folders yeah, there are global ones aswell i think
[05:30] <DragonDon_> ls -al
[05:30] <DragonDon_> doh
[05:31] <RaveYoda> I don't know. the prog is openbox-xdgmenu
[05:32] <DragonDon_> aeon-ltd, hmm, don't see any .openbox folder....stored somewhere else?
[05:32] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, what is openbox-xdgmenu?
[05:33] <RaveYoda> create one
[05:33] <RaveYoda> Dragon, create one
[05:33] <RaveYoda> in it add an autostart.sh file
[05:33] <aeon-ltd> DragonDon_: .config/openbox
[05:33] <RaveYoda> btw, here is where you can get the repo for Razorqt pannel https://launchpad.net/~razor-qt/+archive/ppa/
[05:34] <aeon-ltd> DragonDon_: ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
[05:34] <RaveYoda> aeon is correct dragon, sorry
[05:34] <RaveYoda> XD
[05:34] <rannonga>  ppa:razor-qt/ppa, Rave
[05:35] <RaveYoda> I'm sorry rannonga? What?
[05:35] <rannonga> thats the repo for the site, isnt that what you asked?
[05:36] <DragonDon_> ugh....I need to get on teamspeak....this is taking too long atm....thanks for your help, will look at this later....gues it's gnome for now
[05:36] <RaveYoda> Dragon, openbox-xdgmenu is what pulls the menu list for programs
[05:36] <DragonDon_> thanks RaveYoda
[05:36] <RaveYoda> it's not perfect though and misses a few listing
[05:36] <RaveYoda> No prob mate, good luck
[05:37] <RaveYoda> oh, I was giving the link to him, Dragon,
[05:37] <DragonDon_> sigh...just want something that's ncie and stable and I can customize some....
[05:37] <WorstCaseOntario> Hey there I am trying to fix SAMBA after my system crashed due to accidentally unplugging the harddrive. SAMBA is no longer working. when I enter the smbtree command it now returns nothing
[05:37] <RaveYoda> I have the repo
[05:38] <RaveYoda> uhhhh...then you'll like gnome. Or the mate desktop
[05:38] <RaveYoda> but gnome is prettyer than mate by far
[05:39] <DragonDon_> while waiting....I just installed TeamSpeak.....dont know how to run it from a terminal....sigh
[05:39] <RaveYoda> type teamspeak?
[05:39] <RaveYoda> or...begin typing it and then press tab
[05:39] <DragonDon_> command not found :(
[05:39] <RaveYoda> it should auto find the command given enough letters
[05:39] <RaveYoda> hmmm
[05:40] <OerHeks> WorstCaseOntario, so your HDD is oke?
[05:40] <DragonDon_> sadly, that does not work either....tried it....how annoying really
[05:40] <bazhang> !info teamspeak-client | DragonDon_
[05:40] <RaveYoda> XD Oh mai
[05:41] <WorstCaseOntario> yes I run off a USB HD, it got unplugged and there was a "kernel panic"
[05:41] <DragonDon_> and yet, a locate teamspeak, find a desktop icon...
[05:41] <DragonDon_> WorstCaseOntario, hey...a fellow Canuck!
[05:41] <WorstCaseOntario> lol
[05:41] <RaveYoda> got skype?
[05:41] <OerHeks> WorstCaseOntario, that sounds like your HDD is not oke?
[05:41] <RaveYoda> Dragon?
[05:41] <DragonDon_> bazhang, thnks but I downloaded ts3 from their site
[05:42] <bazhang> DragonDon_, thats not how to install software in ubuntu. use the repos
[05:42] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, eww...Skype has been getting worse every since M$ took over....besides, another group is on ts, so need to get it running
[05:42] <bazhang> !repos | DragonDon_
[05:42] <RaveYoda> ohhh
[05:42] <WorstCaseOntario> the system has booted back up from the usb drive everything seems alright except samba no longer working
[05:42] <RaveYoda> well, i need to join in on that
[05:43] <RaveYoda> but I can't
[05:43] <RaveYoda> because my repo now hates me
[05:43] <WorstCaseOntario> Dragon I'm not canadian I just like canadian TV shows =P
[05:43] <Elitenudel2500> hey
[05:43] <DragonDon_> bazhang, I know how to install from repos....but that is not the only way to install software.  TS3 is not in the repos....TS2 was, and that's of no use to me
[05:44] <Elitenudel2500> I'm having problem
[05:44] <RaveYoda> E: Type '' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:44] <RaveYoda> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[05:44] <DragonDon_> WorstCaseOntario, interesting..
[05:44] <RaveYoda> We all are Elitemude
[05:44] <RaveYoda> =]
[05:44] <Elitenudel2500> amdcccle requires reboot every time i change something :O'
[05:44] <Elitenudel2500> what should i do?
[05:44] <RaveYoda> Can some one help me out with that error
[05:45] <RaveYoda> Is this for every change?
[05:45] <RaveYoda> Even color corrections envoke it?
[05:45] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, sounds like a space is where it shouldn't be?
[05:46] <RaveYoda> T.T Dragon...I looked
[05:46] <RaveYoda> I can't find it
[05:46] <DragonDon_> post up your sources.list?
[05:46] <RaveYoda> Uh,, by cp and pst?
[05:46] <DragonDon_> nono!   paste.ubuntu.net (I think)
[05:47] <hanuman_> how can i write asterisk autimated installation script in ubuntu
[05:47] <kanupatar> Can dataQ ~ messageQ ?
[05:47] <krz> my audio plays, but is terrible on spotify
[05:47] <krz> geezzzz
[05:47] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[05:47] <krz> its so bad. like the bass is flat
[05:47] <RaveYoda> I'm not sure on how to do that. This is litterally my fst time on the hlp board
[05:47] <DragonDon_> then cp the link here
[05:47] <RaveYoda> ahhh
[05:47] <RaveYoda> ok
[05:47] <krz> anyone experience this nonesense?
[05:48] <RaveYoda> ok
[05:49] <RaveYoda> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5903047/
[05:49] <dnivra> Hello. I'm running Kubuntu 12.04.2. I was resizing a partition and using the machine simultaneously. I thought the machine locked up and ended up removing the power to the machine. Now, the OS doesn't recognize the partition type. I suppose the only way to make it usable is to format it.  I had unmounted it and resized it using the partition manager.
[05:51] <krz> OS reports a few issues every so often
[05:51] <krz> how frustrating
[05:51] <RaveYoda> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5903050/
[05:51] <aeon-ltd> krz: windows isn't painless either
[05:51] <RaveYoda> There Dragon
[05:52] <krz> aeon-ltd: wasnt referring to windows though. im coming from osx
[05:52] <krz> everything JUST works
[05:52] <rannonga> hate that os
[05:52] <RaveYoda> brb Dragon
[05:52] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, wrong list?  how did you do that?
[05:52] <DragonDon_> ok
[05:52] <dnivra> OerHeks: it was an additional NTFS partition I had on my machine. I wanted to increase the size of Ubuntu's root partition and so was resizing that partition to get free space.
[05:52] <krz> rannonga: you dont know shit then
[05:52] <rannonga> lol
[05:52] <aeon-ltd> krz: not fair though, apple make the hw and the sw
[05:53] <krz> aeon-ltd: thats a valid point
[05:53] <DragonDon_> aeon-ltd, *china
[05:53] <RaveYoda> I have two up and the one I pasted was not edited right befor I put in repo
[05:53] <rannonga> krz: i can't get used to it
[05:53] <RaveYoda> brb
[05:53] <krz> but simple things like audio, is terrible on linux
[05:53] <rannonga> yeah thats true video drivers are hell
[05:53] <krz> im an audiophile, and man does this sound cripple me
[05:53] <krz> with tears
[05:53] <aeon-ltd> i'm guessing you're probably not on intel for audio
[05:53] <DragonDon_> krz, umm.....why are you here again?  sounds odd that you are complaining about such things on a help channel for such things :)
[05:54] <WorstCaseOntario> what kills me on the audio is no MediaMonkey on linux =(
[05:54] <krz> DragonDon_: wondering if there is a solution?
[05:54] <krz> spotify is basically useless on linux
[05:54] <DragonDon_> krz, probably best to find a spotify channel and find those linux users....that would be better methinks
[05:54] <krz> or ubuntu perse
[05:55] <DragonDon_> krz, you saw this of course right? https://www.spotify.com/us/blog/archives/2010/07/12/linux/
[05:56] <krz> you know thats all the way back to 2010 right?
[05:56] <OerHeks> dnivra, try the live iso and backup your data , as the data is not in the /root partition it should be possible.
[05:56] <krz> its not just spotify though. yt videos. anything with audio
[05:56] <DragonDon_> yeah, I saw that....the feedback would still work methinks :)
[05:57] <RaveYoda> OK, back Dragon
[05:57] <DragonDon_> krz, "There is no officially supported Linux version, but Linux users are welcome to try the Spotify for Linux preview."
[05:58] <DragonDon_> can't blame bad audio for a company that simply hasn't fully developed an app for linux...
[05:58] <krz> dude, its not just spotify. audio in general is a annoying to the ears
[05:58] <rannonga> im no audiophile but i find it ok on realtek hd
[05:58] <OerHeks> krz so your complaint is the lack of an equaliser in spotify?
[05:59] <krz> OerHeks: its not spotify. everything with audio
[05:59] <gordonjcp> krz: why is spotify "useless" in Linux?
[05:59] <gordonjcp> krz: it works just great
[05:59] <krz> if the sound output sucks. whats worth your time listening to music
[05:59] <RaveYoda> Any luck Dragon?
[06:00] <gordonjcp> krz: could you try being a bit less negative and describing the *actual* problem?
[06:00] <OerHeks> krz now stop the ranting, there must be a systemwide equaliser somewhere.
[06:00] <DragonDon_> krz, this, from my understanding, is an industry standard bit of audio software. http://jackaudio.org/  hardly 'poor quality' or the like
[06:00] <gordonjcp> DragonDon_: pretty much
[06:00] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, I am suspecting that your system is using some sort of cached details.  have you rebooted yet?
[06:01] <krz> gordonjcp: as i said earlier. the audio is simply flat. no depth. unlike on windows or osx
[06:01] <gordonjcp> krz: strange
[06:01] <krz> i dual boot to windows. and audio is good enough. same with my osx laptop
[06:01] <gordonjcp> krz: I use Ubuntu and OSX on my Macbook.  They sound identical
[06:01] <krz> on ubuntu, its terrible
[06:01] <RaveYoda> not yet
[06:01] <RaveYoda> should I?
[06:02] <krz> gordonjcp: you using any special drivers?
[06:02] <DragonDon_> RaveYoda, see you in a minute or two then ;)
[06:02] <gordonjcp> krz: no
[06:02] <RaveYoda> ok
[06:02] <gordonjcp> krz: on the Macbook, just the plain ordinary Intel HDA drivers that come with both OSX and Ubuntu
[06:02] <DragonDon_> time for me to reboot as well...
[06:03] <krz> maybe its my audio card
[06:03] <gordonjcp> krz: on my desktop PC I'm only running Ubuntu so I've nothing else to compare it with, but it has an expensive high-end sound card for recording, a USB sound card for the two-track bus, and its internal Intel soundcard for just noises
[06:03] <Whix> hey hey anyone getting unknown symbol errors with iwlwifi 6050-5
[06:03] <gordonjcp> krz: start from the start
[06:03] <Whix> 11n_disable unrecognized.
[06:03] <gordonjcp> krz: what kind of sound card are you using?
[06:03] <krz> gordonjcp: let me check
[06:04] <gordonjcp> krz: first things first actually; what are you driving with the sound card?
[06:04] <RaveYoda> back
[06:04] <gordonjcp> krz: if you are using Tesco Smartprice 30mm PC speakers in a rattly plastic box, they're going to sound pish no matter what
[06:05] <RaveYoda> And it hasn't fixed it
[06:05] <krz> gordonjcp: sudo aplay -l
[06:06] <gordonjcp> krz: you shouldn't need sudo, and pastebin the output of that
[06:06] <krz> returns: HDA Intel PCH
[06:06] <krz> k
[06:06] <gordonjcp> krz: okay, bog standard, works perfectly
[06:06] <DragonDon> oh look...I have no sound....
[06:07] <RaveYoda> OK...Wow...guess what Dragon??  EVEN though wicd is running....
[06:10] <dnivra> So any suggestions on how I could recover data from the corrupted NTFS partition(which got corrupted when resizing). I'm running testdisk right now - is that a good idea or is there a better idea?
[06:10] <krz> gordonjcp: now, apple ear plugs. usually, hifi man he-300's
[06:10] <dnivra> testdisk is right now just analyzing the hard disk - I didn't start any recover procedure yet
[06:10] <krz> open-ended head phones. cost around $300+
[06:11] <gordonjcp> not tried those
[06:11] <gordonjcp> apple earbuds sound rubbish
[06:11] <krz> i really dont care what windows or osx is doing. but the sound that comes out is great. i need the same effect on ubuntu
[06:12] <krz> i use an amplifier as well, at times
[06:12] <gordonjcp> krz: I have a couple of pairs of Sennheiser HD205s which I use in the studio and for just listening to stuff at work
[06:12] <hanuman> how can i sudo apt-get commands through scripts
[06:12] <hanuman> how can i execute sudo apt-get commands through scripts
[06:13] <krz> gordonjcp: are you using an equaliser software of some kind on ubuntu?
[06:13] <krz> equalizer*
[06:13] <gordonjcp> krz: absolutely not
[06:13] <krz> hm
[06:13] <krz> let me reboot
[06:13] <gordonjcp> krz: that's one of the reasons I can't use Windows for audio work
[06:13] <krz> brb
[06:13] <gordonjcp> krz: so many drivers for Windows do stuff like that and you can't turn that crap off
[06:14] <geri> hi i have problems to fetch from archive.ubuntu.com
[06:14] <geri> im not sure what the issue is i have internet connection
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> geri: what ubuntu version you have mate?
[06:17] <vikashla> 12.04
[06:17] <vikashla>  Can Anyone help me with Apache server ?
[06:17] <mjayk> vikashla: best just asking the question then keeping an eye on the channel
[06:18] <geri> unbuntu 11.04
[06:18] <geri> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libxrender/libxrender-dev_0.9.6-1ubuntu1_i386.deb  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> !eol | geri
[06:18] <OerHeks> !11.04
[06:18] <hanuman> how can i execute sudo apt-get commands through scripts
[06:18] <geri> what can i do now?
[06:18] <vikashla> I'm new to this okay my httpd.conf file is blank how can I configure apache
[06:18] <gordonjcp> hanuman: you can't
[06:19] <gordonjcp> !apache | vikashla
[06:19] <hanuman> why
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> geri: you can clean install a new version of ubuntu if you like
[06:19] <gordonjcp> hanuman: because that's a silly and dangerous thing to do
[06:19] <geri> cant i update any more?
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> geri: see topic for our supported versions :p
[06:19] <geri> without installing the new ubuntu
[06:19] <mjayk> hanuman: you can create bash scripts
[06:19] <geri> hmmmm...not good
[06:19] <gordonjcp> geri: 11.04 is gone
[06:19] <geri> any other ideas?
[06:20] <OerHeks> geri see the EOLupgrade factoid from ubottu
[06:20] <gordonjcp> hanuman: you could get your script to prompt for a password, or you could run your script as root
[06:20] <gordonjcp> hanuman: neither of these things are great
[06:20] <geri> how can i automatically upgrade to the newest ubuntu?
[06:20] <hanuman> mjayk: with bash script can i do?
[06:20] <RaveYoda> OK, Anyone out there know how to fix a system the refuses to configure installed packages and also refuses to remove them after failed installs?
[06:20] <geri> without using the install cd?
[06:20] <gordonjcp> hanuman: but they're both better than allowing a normal user to sudo automatically
[06:20] <Kerim> geri: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or something like that
[06:20] <gordonjcp> geri: is this on a server?
[06:20] <mjayk> hanuman: you just create a script with a list of commands
[06:20] <geri> no a image
[06:21] <mjayk> hanuman: when you run the script it runs the list of commands
[06:21] <geri> called floodlight vm
[06:21] <wilee-nilee> geri, All your answers are in the bots message.
[06:21] <RaveYoda> I do sudo dpkg -P [packageName] and the system just sits there
[06:21] <geri> wilee-nilee: ?
[06:21] <geri> oh
[06:21] <wilee-nilee> geri, You were sent 2 messages by the bot look up.
[06:21] <vikashla>  my httpd.conf file is blank how can I configure apache
[06:22] <hanuman> mjayk: suppose i want run "sudo apt-get install buils-essential" how can i write script
[06:22] <mjayk> hanuman: google "how to write a bash script"
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> vikashla: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might help you on this issue aswell
[06:22] <mjayk> hanuman: will learn the correct syntax
[06:22] <RaveYoda> Anyone?
[06:23] <RaveYoda> Come on guys
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> !patience | RaveYoda
[06:23] <mjayk> RaveYoda: just sits there as in the terminal enables the input of the next command
[06:23] <mjayk> RaveYoda: or just sits there as in a blank line
[06:23] <wilee-nilee> RaveYoda, Did you install synaptic perchance?
[06:24] <RaveYoda> no, it sits there as in it says " removing wicd-daemon..."
[06:24] <RaveYoda> and it goes nowhere
[06:24] <rannonga> could you give the whole thing
[06:24] <RaveYoda> I've been using it
[06:24] <RaveYoda> yes
[06:24] <RaveYoda> but this is through terminal atm
[06:25] <wilee-nilee> !who | RaveYoda
[06:25] <RaveYoda> Ubottu, should I repeat the messages then?
[06:25] <krz> well works a litle better after restart
[06:26] <rannonga> lol
[06:26] <rannonga> Rave, don't talk to the bot
[06:26] <krz> maybe its because i just installed spotify. needed a reboot
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> geri: i installed 13.04 64bit and its rocketfast on my system, tryout a version from topic you will be pleased after..
[06:26] <krz> id have to observe this
[06:26] <wilee-nilee> RaveYoda, There is a broken package option in synaptic.
[06:26] <geri> reocketfast?
[06:27] <RaveYoda> Rannonga, XD I'm such a neb
[06:27] <mjayk> geri: im guessing he means fast:D
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> geri: fast as a rocket :p
[06:27] <geri> the installation or the os?
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> geri: both :p
[06:27] <RaveYoda> vilee-nilee, I have synaptic
[06:27] <geri> ok lets go to the moon :)
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> !yay | geri
[06:28] <mjayk> geri: if we walk on each others feet we'll get there i no time
[06:28] <RaveYoda> vilee-nilee, I have but in this instance it is in terminal atm
[06:28] <krz> the base sounds a bit flat though
[06:28] <wilee-nilee> RaveYoda, And hows that terminal working for you?
[06:28] <Kalel> Greetings.
[06:28] <krz> gordonjcp: bass is flat on yours?
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: hi mate what can we help you with?
[06:29] <Kalel> I've a problem to play a hd movie. Already tried: SMplayer, Vlc and the defaulf 'movies'.. No success..
[06:29] <RaveYoda> vilee-nilee, It's jus chilling syaing the same thing. I tried synaptic's broken pkg fixer but it too hangs
[06:29] <robotdevil> is there a way to make grub 2 just sit and wait for an input instead of timing out on an OS?
[06:29] <RaveYoda> vilee-nilee, I mean I tried it many times befor this moment
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: can you describe us whats happening?
[06:30] <wilee-van-nilee> RaveYoda, Cool, just thought it might work, that's about it for me.
[06:30] <robotdevil> besides making it 99 seconds or something
[06:30] <RaveYoda> vilee-nilee, thanks for the imput mate. =]
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> robotdevil: you mean like, leaving the user the boot choice forever?
[06:31] <robotdevil> lotuspsychje: yes
[06:31] <Kalel> Apparently some decoding problem. I have a good hardware: AMD APU 3500 RADEON 6620G 1TG 6GB.. I can see it working hardly. The movie stop and, actually, nothing happened.
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> robotdevil: also boot grub every boot by default?
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> robotdevil: or just want the choice after pressing shift at boot?
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[06:33] <robotdevil> no that would be too confusing for them lotuspsychje
[06:33] <Kalel> robotdevil: grubcustomizer is a friendly software to do that and others thungs..
[06:33] <Kalel> things*
[06:33] <geri> what does apt-get purge network-manager ?
[06:33] <RaveYoda> Har har robodevil. Funny
[06:33] <robotdevil> Kalel: seen that but im not sure it can stop the bootloader
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> geri: will uninstall nm, i wouldnt do it :p
[06:34] <RaveYoda> geri, it removes the network manager
[06:34] <geri> how can i get it back? :)
[06:34] <Kalel> lotuspsychje: Yes. Also all other hd, bluray, libs..
[06:34] <geri> the network manager
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: your grafix driver installed correctly?
[06:34] <Kalel> robotdevil: You can disable it.
[06:34] <RaveYoda> geri, sudo apt-get install network-manager
[06:34] <gordonjcp> krz: my system is maximally flat
[06:35] <gordonjcp> krz: it has thunderous bass, if that's how I choose to mix
[06:35] <geri> RaveYoda: i dont have eth0 for some reason now :(
[06:35] <RaveYoda> ??
[06:35] <Kalel> lotuspsychje: Yes. I compiled it. Everything right.
[06:35] <RaveYoda> Geri, you sure?
[06:35] <RaveYoda> Geri, also, is that an error poping up?
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> geri: please stop asking support for your 11.04
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> geri: re-ask your issues after installing a new version
[06:36] <RaveYoda> lotuspsyche, hush
[06:36] <RaveYoda> lotuspsyche, if I can help i'll try
[06:36] <Kalel> lotuspsychje: I'm trying to watch Avengers, again, in HD in my laptop.. Seems impossible for some reason.
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> RaveYoda: your not supposed to help other ons eol
[06:36] <RaveYoda> Kalel, is it blueray?
[06:37] <ponuts> I want to create an home server enviroment... e-mail, web, update-server, clients security, is ubuntu open with lancscape.. I mean we are 4-5 person in the faimly
[06:37] <robotdevil> Kalel: disable boot loader entirely,
[06:37] <mjayk> lotuspsychje: to be fair its not harming anybody this is not an official ubuntu support line seams fine to me
[06:37] <RaveYoda> lotuspsyche, who/what says that?
[06:37] <robotdevil> Kalel: how to pick other os then?
[06:37] <Kalel> RaveYoda: Its a file;
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> !eol | RaveYoda
[06:37] <Kalel> robotdevil: Pressing 'shift' on startup..
[06:38] <mjayk> lotuspsychje: dont see how that is relivant
[06:38] <mjayk> we have gathered it is EOL :)
[06:38] <RaveYoda> lotuspsyche, i am aware of eol
[06:38] <RaveYoda> lotuspsyche, he still can get the prog back
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> mjayk: there's a reason why his system doesnt work anymore..
[06:38] <mjayk> lotuspsychje: yes there is and i doubit it is  because hes running eol software
[06:38] <RaveYoda> Kalel, a bleray file?
[06:38] <mjayk> lotuspsychje: i dont see how it harms you if someone tries to help him
[06:39] <Kalel> RaveYoda: Yes.
[06:39] <wilee-nilee> mjayk, It is the repos that were available are not now.
[06:39] <Kalel> *bluray file..
[06:39] <RaveYoda> Kalel, then you'll need the bleray prog files associated with it
[06:39] <mjayk> wilee-nilee: im sure it can be fixed
[06:39] <RaveYoda> Kalel, do you have synaptic?
[06:40] <RaveYoda> Kalel, do you have as well VLC?
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> mjayk: try the #ubuntu-offtopic to ask if you can help 11.04 issues..
[06:40] <mjayk> lotuspsychje: i dont need help
[06:40] <wilee-nilee> mjayk, It is channel policy to not support eols, period, no matter what your opinion is.
[06:40] <Kalel> RaveYoda: No. I use apt.
[06:40] <mjayk> wilee-nilee: how silly
[06:40] <RaveYoda> Kalel, one moment pls
[06:41] <wilee-nilee> mjayk, We will help them get to a upgrade to a os supported that has been done exstensivly, we tell them how to install a supported OS.
[06:41] <RaveYoda> Kalel, and what of VLC?
[06:42] <RaveYoda> geri, there are no repos listeed you said?
[06:42] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/140080/playing-blu-ray-using-vlc
[06:42] <geri> RaveYoda: i get the new ubuntu
[06:42] <geri> but takes some time to install it
[06:43] <Kalel> RaveYoda: I already tested 3 different players: vlc, smplayer and the default 'movies'.. The worst of all was the vlc. Frozen totally..
[06:43] <RaveYoda> geri, ok dude. Good luck =]
[06:43] <geri> haha thx
[06:44] <RaveYoda> kalel, umm, did you run the program from terminal and open the blearay file?
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: any errors on syslog? or how about starting vlc from terminal
[06:44] <RaveYoda> kalel, You can see realtime errors that way
[06:44] <mrgate_> ughh T.T
[06:44] <mrgate_> my apache server does not want to run right
[06:44] <mrgate_> http://pastebin.com/S5FeVd7p
[06:45] <RaveYoda> kalel, do you have libblueray1 installed?
[06:45] <RaveYoda> kalel, do you have libbluray1 installed?
[06:45] <Kalel> RaveYoda: Yes. i'm running from terminal... Lets see.
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: how about youtube 1080p run smooth?
[06:45] <RaveYoda> kalel, sorry ,isspelled it fst time
[06:45] <Kalel> Youtube? Amazing.
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: so its only movieplayers then>?
[06:46] <Kalel> probably..
[06:47] <Kalel> Just a moment, please.
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> Kalel: can you tell us what codecs the movie have you trying to play
[06:47] <RaveYoda> kalel, try sudo apt-get install libbluray1
[06:48] <RaveYoda> kalel, if it's installed then it'll say so. If not, I solved your prob
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> !info libbluray1
[06:49] <RaveYoda> kalel, oh.... well ubottu ruined my joy
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> mrgate_: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might help you with your issue?
[06:50] <RaveYoda> kalel, but it may be tied to the blueray codecs neded
[06:51] <RaveYoda> kalel, i can look it up for you?
[06:52] <showar21> I seem to be having trouble with the 3d-windows plugin on compiz.
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> showar21: can you tell us ubuntu version and window manager?
[06:54] <showar21> That is to say, attempted use of it causes the cube to glitch.
[06:54] <showar21> Raring, XFCE.
[06:54] <showar21> But the glitch occurred on Unity and KDE as well, and after a clean install of Ubuntu.
[06:54] <showar21> So I suspect it's a driver problem.
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> showar21: did you try reboot after enabling the 3d windows
[06:55] <showar21> Yes.
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> showar21: you have compiz config installed?
[06:55] <showar21> Yep.
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> showar21: what grafix card and driver loaded?
[06:56] <showar21> How would I find this out? >__>
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> showar21: additional drivers section
[06:56] <devslash> ive got a problem in ubuntu where my trackpad mouse stops working. if i reboot it'll fix it. is there a way to manually get it to work again ?
[06:57] <showar21> The section is completely empty.
[06:58] <lotuspsychje> showar21: maybe this can help? http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-set-up-compiz-in-xubuntu-1210-or.html
[06:59] <RaveYoda> showar21, what kind of computer do you have?
[06:59] <RaveYoda> showar21, laptop or desktop?
[06:59] <lotuspsychje> showar21: lshw -C video
[06:59] <showar21> Laptop.
[07:00] <lorddelta> http://ubuntu-discourse.org/ <-- is down
[07:00] <lorddelta> Just sayin'
[07:00] <RaveYoda> showar21, ahh, ok. Lotus has the better idea between  the two of us. Nvm
[07:00] <showar21> Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250
[07:01] <showar21> configuration: driver=radeon latency=0
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> showar21: driver= radeon?
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> ok
[07:01] <lotuspsychje> showar21: sounds like driver is installed properly
[07:02] <RaveYoda> lotuspsych, he said the additional drivers section is empty
[07:03] <RaveYoda> lotuspsych, shouldn't he try for the drivers from amd/ati?
[07:03] <lotuspsychje> RaveYoda: that doesnt tell me what driver is loaded...
[07:03] <RaveYoda> lotuspsych, likely the mesa drivers
[07:03] <RaveYoda> lotuspsych, i think it's mesa
[07:03] <lotuspsychje> RaveYoda: no reason to be sarcastic, stay proffessional and help him
[07:04] <rkhshm> is there an API or toolkit that can be used to get file system change events ?
[07:04] <Kalel> My connection crashed.. Have a look: http://pastebin.com/bBPrJcZa
[07:04] <RaveYoda> lotuspsych, sorry, there was no sarcasem in my reply. I was just saying my thoughts out loud
[07:05] <showar21> Let me try a reinstall one more time. I'll be back in a minute.
[07:05] <lotuspsychje> rkhshm: there's awhole collection of dev and api tools in software centre that might be usefull
[07:05] <rkhshm> lotuspsychje: can you please point me to any
[07:06] <Taggg> hey guys i'm trying to familiarize myself with launchpad, this bug is stated to be an upstream bug, how do i find the upstream bug report? https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/574632
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> rkhshm: sorry mate im not dev specialist, but im sure if you re-ask once in a while someone might help you
[07:06] <rkhshm> lotuspsychje: i'm not able to find any for ubuntu
[07:07] <Kalel> lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/bBPrJcZa
[07:07] <Kalel> RaveYoda: http://pastebin.com/bBPrJcZa
[07:07] <auronandace> !mint | Taggg
[07:07] <showar21> Didn't work.
[07:07] <Taggg> auronandace: my question is actually about launchpad :)
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> rkhshm: maybe the dev team can point you out to more specific tools?
[07:08] <Taggg> !launchpad
[07:08] <RaveYoda> Kalel, ok, mmmmmmmm
[07:09] <lotuspsychje> rkhshm: http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/platform/api/
[07:10] <RaveYoda> Kalel, would you try this for me?
[07:10] <RaveYoda> Kalel, sudo apt-get install vlc libaacs0 libbluray-bdj libbluray1
[07:10] <auronandace> Taggg: see the table at the top of the bug report page?
[07:11] <RaveYoda> Kalel, and tell me the outcome if any on what terminal is saying?
[07:11] <Taggg> auronandace: yes, i see it
[07:12] <Taggg> auronandace: what about it?
[07:12] <auronandace> Taggg: mint isn't the only thing listed in that table...
[07:13] <Taggg> auronandace: okay, so back to my question, how do i find the upstream bug report?
[07:13] <showar21> Installing fglrx -- hoping this will help.
[07:13] <RaveYoda> showar21, it should fix it
[07:14] <auronandace> Taggg: click on fix released for the ubiquity entry
[07:14] <showar21> I hope so. I assume a reboot is in order
[07:14] <RaveYoda> showar21, did you get latest drivers or from repoo?
[07:14] <Taggg> auronandace: that opens a flyout to change the status
[07:15] <showar21> I just did sudo apt-get install fglrx >_>
[07:15] <RaveYoda> showar21, uhhhhh...ok....
[07:15] <RaveYoda> showar21, =p
[07:15] <showar21> Hope this works.
[07:16] <Taggg> auronandace: am i missing something?
[07:16] <RaveYoda> showar21,good luck
[07:17] <auronandace> Taggg: sorry, i thought it would take you to the upstream bug
[07:17] <RaveYoda> showar21,if it doesn't we can go through amd's site and get their drivers
[07:20] <auronandace> Taggg: the bug is fixed anyway
[07:21] <showar21> Well, actually, that broke it.
[07:21] <Taggg> auronandace: the point is to learn how launchpad works :)
[07:21] <Taggg> auronandace: and i don't think i know yet
[07:21] <auronandace> Taggg: perhaps pick another example
[07:21] <showar21> My display now sucks more, compiz can't run without error...
[07:22] <Taggg> auronandace: can you offer one with a link to an upstream bug report?
[07:22] <bloody-death> ola necesito ayuda cn mi ubuntu
[07:22] <auronandace> Taggg: no, i've hardly visited launchpad
[07:23] <RaveYoda> So i'm going to repost my earlyer question. I am "technically" using Mint as my OS. But recently I've done remodling my end and virtually removed all core Mint packages. I'm now using ubuntu repos and have installed Openbox and other lighter programs not dependent on major dependiencies. All was working great up till about a week ago. Now, whenever  install packages they don't get configured and freez on the config section of the inst
[07:23] <RaveYoda> all. When I try to remove the broken packages it hangs on removal too. I've tried dpkg --config -a but it doesn't work. I used synaptic to "fix broken pkgs" and that stalls too. What is the problem most likely?
[07:23] <Taggg> auronandace: lol, okay
[07:24] <ponuts> I think there is much to win by Ubunut or any Linux env. to do a simple all cover home installation.. not just one computer 1 server 4-5 client 5-6mobile dev. and connected togheter into a PRIVATE env.
[07:24] <auronandace> RaveYoda: we can't support that setup
[07:25] <RaveYoda> Auronandance, how come? at it's core it's all ubu repo pkgs and configs?
[07:25] <auronandace> RaveYoda: you began with mint and tried to make it like ubuntu, there are an awful lot of changes
[07:26] <auronandace> RaveYoda: if you want ubuntu then install ubuntu
[07:26] <auronandace> RaveYoda: just like we can't support someone attempting to make debian into ubuntu
[07:27] <RaveYoda> Mmmm, i've removed nearly all core pkgs auronandace. It really isn't Mint as there are no mint pkgs. Also, may I remind you that Mint is based off of Ubvu
[07:27] <doc|home> I'm using a shimian achieva as a second screen and getting http://www.skynet.ie/~doc/example.jpg. My xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/tWzJNXV1 and logs are http://pastebin.com/iEZuDwwr Logs should give useful info, but I've no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?
[07:27] <auronandace> !mint | RaveYoda
[07:28] <killer> RaveYoda: people here don't like mint, please go to irc.spotchat.org #linuxmint-help
[07:29] <Ben64> its not about "liking" mint, its not supported here because its not ubuntu
[07:30] <OerHeks> Mint has its own issues.
[07:30] <RaveYoda> jhgjjhhgjhghjkkuhgfghhj
[07:30] <Guest36876> i had ubuntu+ debian on my pc.but after i did an iozone test and restarted it it didn't come up. i also changed permission with chmod. but didn't effect. i don;t have any user interface :( when i try to rm syslog in /var/log   it say read only file and cannot be deleted
[07:30] <Guest36876> any idea?
[07:30] <RaveYoda> OK OK,
[07:30] <otak> RaveYoda: you might like arch linux, they have a really good wiki.  Or build up debian from minimum install.  Package install can fail because of lack of disk space
[07:30] <showar21> So installing fglrx has screwed me over royally.
[07:31] <RaveYoda> nvm
[07:31] <auronandace> showar21: we can only support drivers installed from the ubuntu repos here
[07:31] <Ben64> Guest36876: explain more of what you did and what you're trying to do, is it ubuntu or debian? why do you want to remove syslog?
[07:31] <showar21> Is that not from the ubuntu repos?
[07:31] <auronandace> showar21: the wiki can give you instructions for installing from the site but that has its own risks
[07:31] <killer> 12:59 < Ben64> its not about "liking" mint, its not supported here because its
[07:31] <killer>                not ubuntu
[07:31] <killer> 12:59 -!- shantorn<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit [Ping timeout: 245

[07:32] <rannonga> dont flood lol
[07:32] <Guest36876> Ben64: when i use iozone it make my log ful. so it won't comeup. now i decided to delete the log so maybe the problem fixes
[07:33] <Ben64> Guest36876: how big is the log file? and how much free space is on the partition?
[07:34] <Guest36876> Ben64: hoe delete a readonly filesystem ?
[07:34] <RaveYoda> otak, ok, thx for the help. I have pleanty of disk space. and even then it shouldn't interfere with removing a pkg.
[07:35] <Ben64> Guest36876: could you answer the questions first
[07:36] <Guest36876> Ben64: i am not professional in commanding. i can't understand
[07:36] <RaveYoda> Welp, i'm off
[07:36] <RaveYoda> ciao guys
[07:37] <Ben64> Guest36876: "ls -l /var/log/syslog" and "df -h" pastebin the output of both of those
[07:41] <Guest36876> Ben64: i can't copy-past it as i said i have no graphics but ls -l /var/log/syslog          :      rw-r-r- 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER> jun 24....

[07:42] <Loknar> Wow...
[07:43] <Guest36876> auronandace:     ?!!!!!!!haha how useful i didn't know.....................hey idiot if i could use it i would paste it .
[07:44] <Ben64> well good luck figuring out your problem, i don't help people with attitudes
[07:44] <auronandace> !pastebinit | Guest36876
[07:45] <auronandace> Guest36876: if you are unsure you only need to ask
[07:45] <Guest36876> auronandace:  no nternet access man ....i am really in trouble

[07:45] <Loknar> hey I was looking up an issue with my laptop's onboard realtek "HDA Intel" audio not working correctly in ubuntu, on askubuntu, on google, etc... I found so many conflicting answers, but most seemed to point at PulseAudio and well the sound still only came out of the speakers even if I used alsamixer etc
[07:46] <doc|home> anyone?
[07:46] <auronandace> Guest36876: then you can send the output to a file and copy the file to where you have internet access to copy to a pastebin
[07:47] <Loknar> managed to enable some internal microphone I never knew I had and caused a huge feedback loop, that was fun while booting up lol
[07:47] <auronandace> Guest36876: whateveryourcommandis | tee filetoputitin.txt
[07:47] <Guest36876> auronandace: sorry to say idiot. iam just really angry and desperate . iam not very proffesional and fast. the best way was describing it
[07:47] <Guest36876> auronandace: :)
[07:48] <Kerim> killer: Why do people here not like mint? I do use Ubuntu but I also like Mint
[07:48] <auronandace> Kerim: it simply isn't supported here, you can like whatever you want
[07:49] <Ben64> Kerim: mint is offtopic here
[07:49] <Kerim> auronandace: Ben64 : yeah I get that but killer said in addition to that that people don't like Mint here, kind of harsh imho lol
[07:50] <auronandace> Kerim: that is his opinion, we simply do ubuntu support here
[07:50] <kiwi_2264> http://mediacdn.disqus.com/uploads/users/2945/28/avatar92.jpg?1368121005
[07:50] <kiwi_2264> sorry.. wrong channel >.<
[07:51] <Loknar> hey, is ubuntu forums really down for maintenance?
[07:51] <Guest36876> auronandace:  don't you have any idea about my problem?
[07:51] <nathanbz> how do you make ssh-add perminate ?
[07:52] <auronandace> Guest36876: we gave you the instructions on how to pastebin, i was waiting for your output
[07:52] <killer> Kerim: I was just kidding around
[07:52] <Loknar> is my text going through?
[07:52] <auronandace> Loknar: yes, people can see you
[07:52] <Loknar> ok ty
[07:53] <killer> Was kind of frustrated that ubuntu doesn't support my video chip
[07:53] <Loknar> it kinda does
[07:53] <Loknar> just whoever maintains the automated installer hasn't got to your driver yet
[07:55] <lorddelta> Hey guys, anyone got any recommendations for some good PDF editing software? Free trials are ok, so long as they don't come 'hobbled' in a serious manner.
[07:55] <DaemonicApathy> I just turn my PDFs into Libre docs.
[07:55] <joshu_> hi for ubuntu mini it there's a note that says "While the mini ISO is handy, it isn't useful for installing on UEFI-based systems that you want to run in UEFI mode. The mini lacks the proper files for booting the computer in UEFI mode. Thus, the computer will boot in BIOS compatibility mode, and the installation will be in BIOS mode. "
[07:56] <lorddelta> DaemonicApathy; how well does that work with e.g. forms?
[07:56] <joshu_> can someone please explain what it means if the install is done in BIOS mode rather than UEFI? Are there any performance or other negatives effects?
[07:56] <DaemonicApathy> If you put text on a JPG, pretty well.
[07:57] <killer> Loknar: gma 3600 is n't supported as I m told by ##linux
[07:57] <Loknar> hmm...
[07:57] <Loknar> so there's just no linux driver available for it period?
[07:58] <DaemonicApathy> Loknar: For what now?
[07:58] <mns2> I googled around and couldn't fine a way to put chromium tabs in the ubuntu panel.
[07:58] <OerHeks> Loknar, nouveau works, but not 3d.
[07:58] <Ben64> uh, the intel 3600 has been supported since 3.5
[07:58] <Loknar> killer's issue
[07:59] <mns2> Does anyone know how?
[07:59] <auronandace> OerHeks: nouveau is for nvidia cards
[07:59] <mns2> or even to make the ubuntu panel variable length and not take up the top part of the screen?
[08:01] <lorddelta> DaemonicApathy; doesn't look like it will work so well, missing Javascript support apparently.
[08:01] <klumpy> howdy
[08:01] <DaemonicApathy> Sorry, lorddelta, guess we have different needs. :-)
[08:01] <Loknar> i was only having an issue with sound, everything else worked "out of the box"
[08:01] <klumpy> I been having a hell of a hard time getting ubuntu to run on my windows 8 desktop
[08:02] <lorddelta> DaemonicApathy; I was just looking to fill out a form, but it doesn't look like it'll work. Thanks for the tip anyways.
[08:02] <Loknar> (headphone jack/speaker switching wasn't happening when headphones plugged in)
[08:02] <DaemonicApathy> lorddelta: Last resort - save as an image, use gimp.
[08:02] <killer> Ben64: Then , Why ubuntu is n't able to play videos even in 3.8
[08:02] <Loknar> i'm gonna reinstall because I got it all tangled up
[08:02] <killer> even tried 3..10
[08:03] <klumpy> any issues with not finding the right medium or the disc image wasn't found when I did the installer?
[08:03] <Squirmy> Hello guys, I'm having a problem where I can't get the normal user to login as it brings the screen back to where it was, but other accounts log in fine. I haven't been able to find anyone with the same error as mine so far. I was wondering if you guys could help me
[08:03] <mns2> wooo
[08:03] <DaemonicApathy> Squirmy: Did you change any system files recently?
[08:04] <Ben64> killer: don't know, you'd have to provide a lot more details
[08:04] <Squirmy> nope, no changes to file system so far. Hold up, I think I found an article relating to what happened to me
[08:05] <Ben64> Squirmy: paste the output of ----       ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[08:05] <Squirmy> I'm on windows at the moment, but I'll be back here in a second
[08:06] <Squirmy> brb
[08:06] <Loknar> actually, idea... would using the 32-bit ubuntu 12.04 on a 64-bit machine make a difference?
[08:07] <killer> Ben64: as I know from the arch wiki and ##linux , it(linux) can't fully utilize the chip  power
[08:08] <Ben64> killer: nope, its worked for over a year
[08:08] <auronandace> Loknar: a difference to what?
[08:09] <Loknar> yeah it doesn't make sense lol
[08:09] <Loknar> i was installing the 32-bit on this 64-bit (windows 8) laptop
[08:10] <auronandace> Loknar: and...
[08:10] <Loknar> because I had it burned to a dvd already
[08:10] <Loknar> everything worked fine except audio
[08:11] <Loknar> which technically "worked" but it couldn't detect the difference between my headphone jack and speakers for output
[08:11] <Loknar> microphone input worked, speaker output worked, but nothing came out through the headphone jack when plugged in
[08:11] <auronandace> Loknar: if you got 64bit hardware then there is very little reason not to use 64bit ubuntu
[08:12] <Loknar> yeah, that will be ready in 1 hour
[08:12] <pranav> how can we find out the wifi standard we are using from linux ?
[08:13] <krz> how do you search emails from a specific contact in thunderbird?
[08:13] <jpds> pranav: "iwconfig".
[08:13] <Loknar> i'll have to troubleshoot this myself probably, it's a weird problem
[08:13] <h22> Guys, I have trouble with libgl1-mesa-dev  and is apparently the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1178517
[08:13] <Loknar> just hoped somebody would've had the same issue before
[08:14] <dr_willis> Loknar:  actually its a common problem
[08:14] <Loknar> :O
[08:14] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com may have dozens of suggestions
[08:14] <dyu> what's the package name for the redis client?
[08:14] <thedoctar> how did ubuntuforums get hacked?
[08:15] <Loknar> alright thanks ...
[08:15] <h22> dyu: What do you mean by redis client?
[08:15] <dyu> redis-cli
[08:15] <mns2> does anyone actually use the trash button on the dock?
[08:15] <mns2> who doesn't just press delete?
[08:15] <Loknar> noobs don't
[08:16] <dyu> h22: i only get redis-server
[08:16] <mns2> same for the launcher. you can literally just press tab
[08:16] <mns2> i don't get it
[08:16] <h22> h22: I installed the tar.gz.. It had redis-cli
[08:16] <Loknar> it probably stands for "redistributable client"
[08:17] <h22> dyu http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
[08:17] <Loknar> i just wish there was a gnome 3 flavor of ubuntu
[08:17] <pranav> jpds: thanks
[08:17] <auronandace> !checkinstall | h22
[08:17] <Squirmy> alrighty
[08:17] <Squirmy> I am back
[08:17] <auronandace> Squirmy: seriously, you shouldn't be on irc as root
[08:18] <Squirmy> lol
[08:18] <Squirmy> I know, but it's the only way i could be on here
[08:18] <Squirmy> my other user account is fucked
[08:18] <auronandace> Squirmy: how?
[08:18] <Squirmy> and I don't want to add another user for the time being
[08:18] <Squirmy> lazyness for the most part
[08:19] <h22> I have this problem... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1178517 and my card is not even nvidia.. anybody?
[08:20] <Slart> Loknar: just install gnome-shell on top of regular ubuntu.. that's what I do
[08:21] <Loknar> yeah but it doesn't integrate very well
[08:21] <salih-emin> that is true
[08:21] <Squirmy> auronandace: my other user account is messed up because I keep getting looped back to the login screen if I log in with my normal user account, and another new bug that happens is that it takes some time for the GUI to show up on startup
[08:21] <salih-emin> Gnome Shell is built for every distro
[08:21] <Slart> Loknar: huh? in what way? I haven't noticed anything wrong so far
[08:21] <salih-emin> instead Unity is built for Ubuntu
[08:21] <Loknar> like, system tray doesn't show icons of programs that are minimized to tray
[08:22] <smyke> i need to give permission to one partition only, help me
[08:22] <Loknar> you need to install gnome-tweak to change the theme
[08:22] <Loknar> etc etc
[08:22] <Slart> Loknar: I think that is by design.. you really want something other than gnome, I think

[08:27] <vlad76> Ben64: yes
[08:27] <jacta> What is the name of the letter icon app that holds pidgin and thunderbird and such
[08:27] <ikonia> failing that you'll have to manually remove some files and clean up later
[08:27] <vlad76> ikonia: how do I do that?
[08:27] <ikonia> vlad76: open the package manager, search for kernel packages, remove old ones
[08:28] <vlad76> ikonia: how to open package manager? (this is VPS, ubuntu 12.04)
[08:29] <ikonia> vlad76: I suggest reading https://help.ubuntu.com and read the server section about the basics of using ubuntu server
[08:29] <vlad76> on it. thx!

[08:36] <Arun> i am just trying xubuntu
[08:36] <Arun> please someone help me
[08:37] <Arun> i need to give permission to access my drive
[08:37] <OerHeks> Arun, install ntfs-3g and you have access to the ntfs partitions.
[08:37] <Arun> what it will do?
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Arun: you can mount them using nautilus, they will present in the left hand panel
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Arun: you will not be able to run applications installed on them, but casual user data will be fine
[08:39] <Arun> i need to install nautilus and i can give permissions,. right?
[08:40] <Arun> through nautilus can i give permissions?
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Arun: the default file browser in Xubuntu will be able to access it
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> vlad76:  dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | awk {'print $2'}
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Arun: the permissions are set at mount time, nautilus will mount them with default access so users can access the data
[08:43] <syed_> so...
[08:43] <bun24331> so, is there no way to reset my ubuntu forum password at this time?
[08:44] <bun24331> i saw the "forums have been hacked" notice, and all the technews sites are recommending changing passwords, but there's no way to do that
[08:45] <bun24331> nor to get my account disabled, it seems
[08:45] <Loknar> i doubt they gained access to the database
[08:45] <bun24331> wanna bet?
[08:45] <Steinar1> bun24331: What does it matter if the hackers already have their own local copy of the database?
