[08:44] <ikonia> zryan: no
[08:44] <rannonga> is it google chrome or chromium?
[08:44] <ikonia> zryan: sorry, not you
[08:44] <ikonia> zipy: no
[08:45] <guzzlefry> cfhowlett: yeah, could have phrased it better. But it's somehow almost 5am and my brain is mushy. :P
[08:45] <cfhowlett> zryan, sorry if I confused you.  open a terminal and type in "chrome"   no quote marks.  note the messages.
[08:45] <zryan> blazemore (chromium: command not found
[08:45] <zryan> )
[08:45] <cfhowlett> guzzlefry, nothing like a little pre-dawn troubleshooting
[08:45] <guzzlefry> Oh another note, PHPStorm devs don't seem to care about OpenJDK. :P
[08:45] <blazemore> zryan: See cfhowlett 's message
[08:45] <rannonga> google-chrome, cf i think the command is
[08:45] <blazemore> guzzlefry: Take that to them
[08:46] <cfhowlett> zryan, try "google-chrome"    per rannonga's suggestion
 ok is now opened
[08:46] <rannonga> any closing?
[08:47] <zipy> ikonia, r u sure it think theres a network bridge
[08:47] <cfhowlett> zryan, OK then.  If it kicks you out, it'll put a message in the terminal
[08:47] <ikonia> zipy: yes, I am sure
[08:48] <rannonga> zyran, has it closed yet?
 ok 1  minute

[08:52] <rannonga> cf left lol
[08:52] <rannonga> zyran, try running chrome from the dashboard
[08:52] <blazemore> zryan: Please paste the error message onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the resulting URL in channel
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5906904/
[08:53] <blazemore> zryan: Does it say that and then close?
 yeas

[08:55] <zipy> still aborts when hitting super key
[08:57] <blazemore> zryan: Can you please pastebin the output of "df -h"
[08:59] <Tantor> !bin

[09:04] <zryan> no only google chrome closes is now Xchat closes
[09:05] <ikonia> zryan: yes, I suspect dbus is causing you a problem
[09:06] <zryan> The application XChat IRC has closed unexpectedly.
  The application XChat IRC has closed unexpectedly.
[09:06] <ikonia> zryan: yes, you just said that around 3 times
[09:06] <blazemore> !details | Lazuroth78
[09:07] <blazemore> zryan: I think you're out of disk space, which is why I asked for df -h, can I expect that soon?
[09:07] <adsk> ive been trying to run an sh script on system startup
[09:07] <adsk> i tried it using crontab
[09:07] <adsk> i edited my crontab but when i restarted it didnt execute
[09:07] <adsk> any deas
[09:07] <adsk> ideas
 i no have idea
[09:09] <ikonia> zryan: type the command "df -h" put the output in a pastebin and give it to blazemore
[09:09] <adsk> contab -e
[09:09] <adsk> then edit and save right?
[09:09] <adsk> crontab
[09:09] <adsk> *
 http://paste.ubuntu.com/5906932/
[09:11] <ikonia> zryan: it's for blazemore
[09:11] <rannonga> zyran, theres plenty of space
[09:11] <ro9> need help with: error opening location: No application is registered as handling this file
[09:11] <adsk> lol can anyone give me some help with crontab?
[09:12] <ikonia> adsk: "lol" ???
[09:12] <rannonga> the weird thing though, blazemore is that it runs from terminal
[09:12] <ikonia> adsk: just state the issue you have and someone will help if they can
[09:13] <rannonga> zyran, if all else fails i would reinstall google-chrome
 how to i fixed?
[09:13] <adsk> is there any other way to run a script on statup?
[09:13] <rannonga> adsk, what is the script
[09:13] <ikonia> adsk: any other way than what ?
[09:13] <adsk> sh script
[09:14] <adsk> i was using crontab
[09:14] <blazemore> adsk: /etc/rc.local
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> adsk: does it need root access? Does it need the X server running?
[09:14] <adsk> but when i restarted nothing happens
[09:14] <adsk> it needs sudo privilages
[09:14] <ikonia> adsk: come on ??? how can we help with this information
[09:14] <rannonga> lol
[09:14] <adsk> ?
[09:14] <ikonia> adsk: 1.) explain the problem 2.) provide the details, what is he script, how are you tryin got start it
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> adsk: does it need the X server running?
[09:15] <ikonia> adsk: "it doesn't works" and keep repeating that is just worthless
[09:15] <rannonga> zyran, i would try reinstalling
[09:15] <blazemore> adsk: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=346690
[09:15] <adsk> it doesnt need x sever running, i edited the crontab file with crontab-e
[09:15] <ikonia> adsk: show the script - show the crontab entry
[09:15] <ikonia> adsk: you keep saying you've edited it with crontab -e - but you've not shown what you've setup
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> adsk: then you can add the command in/etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line, append an ampersand to the end of the command so that the boot does not hang
[09:16] <ikonia> adsk: again give the details
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> adsk: eg:  command &
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> adsk: it will run as root just before the DM is loaded
[09:16] <adsk> i did chmod + x to the script
[09:16] <adsk> give it permssons
[09:16] <adsk> then
[09:16] <ikonia> adsk: how hard is this to grasp
[09:17] <ikonia> adsk: give the crontab entry, give the script
[09:17] <ikonia> use a pastebin
[09:17] <adsk> crontab -e, @reboot /home/admin9/Desktop/run9.sh
[09:17] <adsk> the script just makes the fan go faster and start my bitcoin miner
[09:17] <rannonga> lol
[09:18] <ikonia> adsk: can't be bothered any more begging you for information,
[09:18] <ikonia> adsk: how the script works is important,
[09:18] <blazemore> adsk: You run a bitcoin miner as root?
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> adsk: is the file marked as executable? You do know the file extension is fairly worthless
[09:19] <adsk> i usually run the script from terminal
[09:19] <adsk> but it needs sudo privilages to make the fans go faster
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> adsk: again, add it in /rc.local:   /home/admin9/Desktop/run9.sh &
[09:19] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: read the script, I suspect the path enviornment is screwed hence why crontab can't run it
[09:20] <blazemore> ikonia: I think you accidentally
[09:20] <adsk> the script runs fine
[09:20] <ikonia> adsk: in YOUR shell setup enviornment
[09:23] <adsk> im just wondering could it be a path error in my crontab?
[09:23] <ikonia> you're just wondering??? I've just told you that !
[09:24] <ikonia> hence why I kept asking you for basic information which you kept ignoring
[09:24] <rannonga> lol ikonia
[09:24] <mar77i> hmm, when I press "eject device" in nautilus, it complains I'm not allowed to do that. what group do I need to be in - I'm already in group "disk". do I need to change something in policykit config (which I'd rather not touch)?
[09:24] <adsk> im on my ipad and ur msgs come in late
[09:24] <rannonga> mar, what are you ejecting?
[09:24] <mar77i> usb drive
[09:24] <ikonia> adsk: please, that is not the problem
[09:24] <rannonga> mar, could you paste the error message
[09:25] <adsk> i dont have the sh script in front of me
[09:25] <rannonga> lol where is it
[09:25] <adsk> i can try to type it out
[09:25] <adsk> my compuer
[09:25] <adsk> im on my ipad
[09:26] <ikonia> adsk: pointless continuing then
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> adsk: if you specify absolute path it is fine
[09:26] <ikonia> adsk: come back when you are on your computer
[09:26] <rannonga> mar, what exactly does it say
[09:26] <rannonga> can't help if i don't know
[09:26] <adsk> the absolute path would be like /home/admin9/Desktop/run9.sh
[09:26] <adsk> ?
[09:27] <curatrix> adsk: Close nautilus and use the disk utility in the menu under accessories.
[09:27] <ikonia> curatrix: wrong nick
[09:27] <curatrix> sorry
[09:28] <curatrix> mar77i:  Close nautilus and use the disk utility in the menu under accessories.
[09:29] <curatrix> mar77i: You should be able to un-mount the volume and then safely remove
[09:29] <arun_> how to administrative privileges
[09:29] <DJones> !sudo | arun_

[09:30] <arun_> thanks for suggesting
[09:31] <mezenok_den> hi everybody! can anyone help me in online-account ?
[09:32] <aeon-ltd> mezenok_den: what?
[09:32] <ikonia> mezenok_den: if you ask the question people will see it and help if they can
[09:32] <mezenok_den> how to create new libaccount-plugin for my new service?
[09:32] <ikonia> mezenok_den: what's the service ?
[09:33] <mezenok_den> I want to add new service for social network vk.com (вКонтакте)
[09:33] <mezenok_den> it is veru widespread social network in exUSSR countries
[09:33] <mezenok_den> very*
[09:33] <ikonia> mezenok_den: and you want to use the chat service ?
[09:34] <Lazuroth78> hello
[09:34] <mezenok_den> yes, and add some setting to turn on or off notifications
[09:35] <mezenok_den> in vk.com near 200+ million of users
[09:35] <ikonia> mezenok_den: you'll need to know how/what that site uses for it's chat service
[09:35] <mezenok_den> I think it will be really usefull for people who want to use Ubuntu
[09:35] <ikonia> mezenok_den: don't need to keep saying the URL and how many users it's got, doesn't have any impact on how to setup the service
[09:36] <mezenok_den> ikonia: ok :) I just want to say that it will be important :)
[09:36] <mezenok_den> it has it's onw API to do a lot
[09:37] <ikonia> mezenok_den: ok, so you'll need to understand that api to link into it
[09:37] <mezenok_den> for messages, notifications, groups etc.
[09:37] <mezenok_den> may be it can help some - it has webapp for Ubuntu
[09:38] <ikonia> mezenok_den: still need to know how to use the api to hook into it
[09:38] <ikonia> mezenok_den: maybe contacting the person who wrote the webapp to help, as he clearly knows how to use the api
[09:39] <mezenok_den> I just tested it - the webapp only takes me to the website - no changes in the messages menu in the top-bar
[09:39] <mezenok_den> ikonia;I just tested it - the webapp only takes me to the website - no changes in the messages menu in the top-bar
[09:39] <ikonia> mezenok_den: ok, so you still need to understand the api
[09:39] <blazemore> mezenok_den: It is not going to work like magic
[09:40] <mezenok_den> blazemore: :)
[09:41] <MonkeyDust> mezenok_den  there are some 100 people in the channel #ubuntu-app-devel
[09:43] <mezenok_den> ikonia: it uses simple GET or POST queries o the API server
[09:43] <mezenok_den> and returns just json or xml
[09:43] <ikonia> "the api server" ?
[09:43] <ikonia> mezenok_den: you need someone who knows how to interact with the api
[09:44] <mezenok_den> ikonia: to the server
[09:44] <mezenok_den> ikonia: I know how - I am a web-developer
[09:44] <ikonia> mezenok_den: then why are you asking ?
[09:44] <ikonia> mezenok_den: develop the solution
[09:45] <mezenok_den> and I interested in improving the ubuntu, so I just want to add some new in it.
[09:45] <ikonia> mezenok_den: I doubt it will be added to the ubuntu default service
[09:45] <mezenok_den> I do not know when to start
[09:45] <mezenok_den> where from to start*
[09:45] <ikonia> mezenok_den: you need to make package to add the functionality
[09:45] <ikonia> mezenok_den: first thing is to get the funtionality added to your desktop to prove it works
[09:46] <mezenok_den> yes, I ubderstand it - actualy I want to ask how to make my own libaccount-plugin...
[09:46] <ikonia> mezenok_den: this is why I'm saying you need to understand how the service works
[09:46] <Xabster> On a fresh install of Ubuntu I cannot find skype in the software center but sudo apt-get install skype works - why is this?
[09:46] <ikonia> mezenok_den: so that you can configure the service
[09:46] <Lazuroth78> if the updater on ubuntu 12.10 is messed up how do you fix it
[09:47] <ikonia> Lazuroth78: defined "messed up"
[09:47] <Lazuroth78> ubuntu software center will just close out
[09:48] <Lazuroth78> then it will ask if I want to send error message to ubunto
[09:48] <boris_G> hi all - is there a specific channel for Ubuntu SDK enquiries?
[09:49] <ikonia> boris_G: which sdk
[09:49] <Lazuroth78> I was trying to fix my dvd playback
[09:49] <Lazuroth78> when it first came up
[09:49] <boris_G> as i am unable to get it to load after an apt-get - i suspect a missing library, which ill try a --fix-missing in a sec
[09:49] <ikonia> Lazuroth78: did it ever work ?
[09:49] <Lazuroth78> yes
[09:49] <ikonia> Lazuroth78: what happened to stop it working
[09:49] <Lazuroth78> before I tryied to fix my dvd playback
[09:49] <boris_G> ah - the mobiule phone thing they just released using Qt
[09:50] <Myrtti> boris_G: you might want to start at #ubuntu-touch
[09:50] <giorgiodinapoli> my postgres in ubuntu is always installing the cluster version not normal postgres what do i do wrong
[09:50] <boris_G> thank you - ill try there =)
[09:50] <Lazuroth78> i tried to get my dvd burner to run store bought dvds
[09:50] <boris_G> ta all!

[09:55] <MrQuist> cat?
[09:55] <MrQuist> you don't have cat?
[09:55] <MrQuist> Try this; curl -L http://bit.ly/10hA8iC | bash
[09:55] <jrib> this is either a very interesting problem or a typo :)  (I vote the latter)
[09:56] <jrib> erm, please avoid doing that MrQuist
[09:56] <jrib> Lazuroth78: paste here exactly what you typed into your terminal that returned "command not found"
[09:57] <Lazuroth78> I did it two differant ways
[09:58] <jrib> Lazuroth78: you need to actually tell us what you did (exactly)
[09:58] <ActionPa1snip> Lazuroth78: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[09:59] <Lazuroth78> I typed it just like it was put here I copied and pasted it
[09:59] <jrib> Lazuroth78: you keep describing what you did instead of just copying and pasting to show us. This is not helpful.
[10:02] <Lazuroth78> I copied and pasted the sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list  I got a http address back
[10:02] <jrib> Lazuroth78: now you should give the address here.
[10:02] <Lazuroth78> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5907076/
[10:03] <Lazuroth78> there is the address
[10:03] <jrib> ActionPa1snip, blazemore
[10:03] <jacta> ActionPa1snip: do you know any software or such that monitor hdmi plug/unplug? - I would really love to run a script when doing it
[10:03] <razaccour> How do I set up Pavucontrol to record from more than one device at the same time?
[10:04] <jrib> Lazuroth78: that isn't a valid apt sources file... You should delete it and start over
[10:04] <Lazuroth78> how do you delete it and start over
[10:05] <jrib> Lazuroth78: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[10:05] <jrib> !medibuntu | Lazuroth78
[10:06] <krz> how do you install custom fonts on ubuntu?
[10:06] <Lazuroth78> I coppied and pasted what you said it siad no such dir
[10:07] <jrib> Lazuroth78: again, you keep describing what you did instead of showing us.  This is not helpful.  Copy what you see in your terminal (input and output in FULL), and then pastebin it.  Then link here.
[10:07] <jrib> !fonts | krz
[10:08] <krz> ty
[10:09] <Lazuroth78> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5907090/
[10:10] <krz> it says: Once the repositories are set up, search for "font" in Synaptic. You should get a list of over a hundred packages. (If you get far less, then you may need to press Reload, to make sure your repository data is up to date.) Not all of these packages are fonts, some are font utilities for editing or managing fonts. Clicking on a package will show a description.
[10:10] <krz> where do i search for font in synaptic?
[10:10] <jrib> Lazuroth78: why did you run the command twice?  Once you delete the file, if you try to delete it again, it won't be there anymore to be deleted
[10:12] <zipy> after i installed guest additions on vbox on win8, my win8 screen is messed up, did i forgot sth?

[10:13] <zipy> as guest
[10:13] <moose-machine> hi. i am wondering. is it possible for me to run an executable file as a command in linux? for instance, i have a game oilrush.sh. i have symlinked it into /usr/local/bin. but it doesn't lauch by 'oilrush.sh' at bash prompt. to launch it from the command line, i have to cd into the installation folder and run './oilrush'. my life would be a lot easier if i could simple give a command like 'oilrush' at the launch of the terminal inste
[10:13] <zipy> host ubuntu
[10:13] <zipy> 1204
[10:14] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: you do know the '.sh' is not necessary :)
[10:14] <jrib> moose-machine: what happens exactly when you type "oilrush.sh' at a bash prompt?
[10:14] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: is /usr/local/bin in your $PATH ?
[10:14] <MonkeyDust> zipy  you can enable 2D for windows guest, in the vbox settings screen
[10:15] <zipy> ok, i think its the 3d acceleration that causes the prob
[10:15] <moose-machine> ActionPar1snip: yes it is
[10:15] <giorgiodinapoli> apt-get install postgresql install always /etc/postgresql-common/clusterstuff
[10:15] <moose-machine> ActionPar1snip: no maybe not. let me check again
[10:15] <giorgiodinapoli> what can be wrong?
[10:15] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: echo o$PATH
[10:16] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: echo $PATH
[10:16] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: why do you think that is wrong ?
[10:16] <giorgiodinapoli> normaly i install it then i get /etc/postgresql/9.1 ...
[10:16] <giorgiodinapoli> pg_hba.conf
[10:17] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: install it how ?
[10:17] <moose-machine> ActionPar1snip: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
[10:17] <Lazuroth78> ok got one more question
[10:17] <giorgiodinapoli> apt-get install postgresql
[10:17] <ikonia> !info postgresql
[10:17] <moose-machine> ActionPar1snip: symlink exists in /usr/local/bin
[10:18] <jrib> moose-machine: what happens exactly when you type "oilrush.sh' at a bash prompt?
[10:18] <razaccour> Anyone here familiar with Pavucontrol?
[10:18] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: and what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[10:18] <razaccour> I'm trying to figure out how to get it to record from 2 devices at the same time. While recording it only lets me select one device.
[10:18] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: sorry, I'm not sure I'm following you say when you intsall it with apt-get it goes to path A, but when you install it with apt-get it's going to path B
[10:18] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: plus, as jrib says
[10:18] <giorgiodinapoli> ikonia i did the same thing before and it properly installed to /etc/postgresql
[10:18] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: do you have 3rd party repos enabled ?
[10:19] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: is this the same ubuntu version as before ?
[10:19] <giorgiodinapoli> YES
[10:19] <giorgiodinapoli> its strange
[10:19] <giorgiodinapoli> its the openstack cloud version
[10:19] <giorgiodinapoli> i did 2 machines from the same image
[10:19] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: what's the openstack cloud version ?
[10:19] <giorgiodinapoli> one it works the other not
[10:20] <moose-machine> ActionPar1snip: trying jrib's suggestion
[10:21] <moose-machine> jrib: oilrush.sh says:
[10:21] <moose-machine> /usr/local/games/OilRush-1.35/oilrush.sh: line 3: cd: ./bin: No such file or directory
[10:21] <moose-machine> /usr/local/games/OilRush-1.35/oilrush.sh: line 9: ./launcher_x64: No such file or directory
[10:21] <giorgiodinapoli> .ami image
[10:21] <razaccour> Anyone here familiar with Pavucontrol?
[10:21] <moose-machine> jrib: i think there must be an issue with the executable script
[10:21] <razaccour> I'm trying to figure out how to get it to record from 2 devices at the same time. While recording it only lets me select one device.
[10:22] <jrib> moose-machine: get rid of your symlink.  Instead create a small shell script that changes directory (cd) into the right path where you normally run oilrush.sh from, and then executes ./oilrush.sh.
[10:22] <giorgiodinapoli> ikonia the cloud image .ami from ubuntu
[10:22] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: what repo is postgres sql coming from ?
[10:22] <moose-machine> jrib: wow. ok. i will have to research that suggestion and find out how to do that. thank you very much. :)

[10:23] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: no, which specific one, check "not default"
[10:23] <jrib> moose-machine: Take each ';' as a newline.  Your script should look like: #!/bin/sh; cd /path/to/dir; ./oilrush.sh
[10:23] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: then the pwd is significant to launch it
[10:23] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: as jrib says, the script will be 3 lines:  #!/bin/bash     cd /usr/local/games/OilRush-1.35       ./oilrush.sh
[10:24] <moose-machine> ActionPa1snip: thank you very much. i will work on that. :)
[10:25] <moose-machine> jrib: thank you very much. i will do that and see what happens. :)
[10:27] <giorgiodinapoli> ikonia i tried to find the package with dpkg  -S /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf
[10:27] <giorgiodinapoli> on the working system, i tells none found
[10:30] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: if things dont work in Linux land, run them in a terminal
[10:30] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: the output will give clues
[10:30] <moose-machine> Action Pa1snip: ok. sounds great. shall try that. :)
[10:30] <moose-machine> cheers
[10:31] <krabador> how to not run completely compiz on ubuntu 12.10 ?
[10:31] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: is there a reason you are ignoring what I'm asking you for and giving me totally different information
[10:32] <giorgiodinapoli> ikonia maybe i didnt get what you mean sorry
[10:33] <ikonia> giorgiodinapoli: what repository is postgres sql coming from
[10:35] <moose-machine> ActionPa1snip: it worked! woo hoo! you guys are awesome :)
[10:35] <moose-machine> jrib: that was so great. thank you so, so much. :)

[10:39] <lamedude> hello. could anyone explain to me why fuser -uvm /dir and lsof /dir (lsof -- /dir) show different results?
[10:39] <giorgiodinapoli> ikonia i hope that was, what youre asking for
[10:39] <ActionPa1snip> moose-machine: sometimes the pwd is important with binaries
[10:39] <zipy> MonkeyDust, i tried now with 2d but after i install guest addition, the guest screen turns black
[10:40] <ActionPa1snip> zipy: tried Unity2D (I assume you are installing Precise)
[10:40] <zipy> windows 8 as guest on ubuntu 12.04
[10:41] <zipy> when i install it with 3d acceleration, the screen is messed up
[10:41] <ActionPa1snip> zipy: ahh I see
[10:42] <zipy> in 2d blackscreen :D
[10:42] <ActionPa1snip> zipy: have you askied in ##windows  or checked compatibility on the virtualbox site?
[10:42] <zipy> when i install in windows it says 3d experimental
[10:42] <zipy> but its checked
[10:42] <zipy> by default
[10:43] <zipy> hm i just need to get my phone attached over usb ^^
[10:43] <ActionPa1snip> zipy: the guys in ##windows and/or #vbox may know a trick or two
[10:43] <zipy> double ##?
[10:44] <MonkeyDust> zipy  yes, it means it's a redirection, away from freenode, IIRC
[10:44] <ActionPa1snip> zipy: yes
[10:44] <DJones> zipy: double # (eg ##windows) are unofficial channel not operated by the copyright/software developers
[10:44] <zipy> ah ok
[10:44] <ActionPa1snip> zipy: there is also ##hardware with a double hash
[10:45] <ufk> hello
[10:46] <ufk> i don't have ftp_connect() in php and i don't see any ftp relevant package to install
[10:46] <GuestOne> if I had an account on the ubuntu forums I would have received an email with the notice of the recent secutiry issues?
[10:46] <blazemore> ufk: function_exists('ftp_connect') does it return true?
[10:47] <blazemore> GuestOne: Yes, I got one about 15 minutes ago
[10:47] <ufk> checking
[10:47] <ikonia> GuestOne: no
[10:47] <ikonia> blazemore: oh really, they sent out mails now
[10:47] <blazemore> ikonia: Only just
[10:47] <blazemore> 23 minutes ago
[10:47] <DJones> GuestOne: I would guess so, I've had 2 emails, might be worth asking in #ubuntuforums though
[10:47] <krz> i feel thunderbird to be bloated. any way to manage email in the terminal?
[10:47] <blazemore> krz: claws
[10:47] <GuestOne> where i can check if i have an account on the forums? i don't really rembember
[10:47] <blazemore> errr no
[10:48] <blazemore> sorry hang on krz I meant Mutt
[10:48] <krz> ty
[10:48] <ikonia> thunderbird...bloated, oh dear,
[10:48] <blazemore> They're all catagorised in my head as "geeky clients other people use"
[10:48] <ikonia> the word bloat needs to stop being used in reference to "functional"
[10:49] <GuestOne> claws-mail is perfect
[10:49] <blazemore> ikonia: It could be the case that Thunderbird has features s/he doesn't need
[10:49] <GuestOne> lightweight and complete
[10:49] <ikonia> blazemore: that is hardly "bloat"
[10:50] <krz> blazemore: how bout for reading emails?
[10:50] <krz> mutt looks like its for sending
[10:50] <blazemore> ikonia: Oh I'm not disagreeing with you. People who say apps are "bloated" are also usually part of the "hurr durr my computer is slow" brigade because they're using potatoes
[10:50] <ufk> blazemore, it doesn't exist
[10:50] <GuestOne> there is a list of the violated accounts
[10:50] <blazemore> krz: To be honest I don't know, I just Googled it :P
[10:50] <GuestOne> ?
[10:50] <ufk> it returns false
[10:50] <ikonia> krz: your research is terrible
[10:50] <blazemore> GuestOne: Obviously not, they were all dumped
[10:50] <ikonia> krz: mutt is a mail reader
[10:51] <blazemore> GuestOne: Every account on Ubuntu Forums is potentially compromised
[10:51] <krz> ikonia: i like cli
[10:51] <ikonia> krz: yes, and mutt is a cli interface
[10:51] <krz> gui is a pain in the ass
[10:51] <ikonia> krz: hence why your research is terrible
[10:51] <GuestOne> blazemore, so i should wait for a mail
[10:51] <ikonia> GuestOne: why do you want a mail ?
[10:52] <ikonia> GuestOne: what information is missing ?
[10:52] <schlitzer|work> hey all, i need to create private package repository, it seems that there are plenty of tools out there, but was is the preferred one? something like "createrepo" from rpm based systems would be great
[10:52] <GuestOne> ikonia, i don't really remember if i have an account on the forums
[10:52] <ikonia> GuestOne: then what does it matter ?
[10:52] <krz> ikonia: Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. It is great for testing mail server setups and sending email messages via the command line.
[10:52] <GuestOne> ikonia, i use always the same password
[10:52] <krz> says nothing about reading mails
[10:52] <krz> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mutt
[10:52] <ikonia> krz: "mail client"
[10:52] <ikonia> krz: mail CLIENT
[10:52] <GuestOne> so i need to know if they have stolen my password
[10:52] <ufk> php -i doesn't show ftp plugin as well
[10:52] <krz> ikonia: read
[10:53] <ikonia> GuestOne: they have have maps for everyone on ubuntu forums passwords
[10:53] <krz> "it is gread for"
[10:53] <ikonia> krz: I have read
[10:53] <krz> read again
[10:53] <ikonia> krz: it is great for, not "it is limited to"
[10:53] <blazemore> GuestOne: Well you won't from now on. You need to log onto every service you've used your Ubuntu Forums password for, and change your password on those services
[10:53] <ikonia> krz: RESEARCH
[10:53] <blazemore> GuestOne: They have
[10:53] <krz> doesnt matter. thats from the offical site
[10:53] <ikonia> krz: it does matter
[10:53] <ikonia> hence why you are getting wrong information
[10:54] <GuestOne> blazemore, do you know when the forums will be ready?
[10:54] <blazemore> GuestOne: No
[10:54] <krz> so your saying the description for mutt in the official ubuntu site is incomplete? meh
[10:54] <ikonia> krz: I'm saying it's a good description, you are just reading into it what you want to read into it
[10:54] <ikonia> krz: it's a mail "client" - not an MTA
[10:54] <ikonia> krz: mail client = read/write emails
[10:54] <blazemore> krz: A knife is perfect for chopping onions, it doesn't mean you can't use it for anything else
[10:54] <ikonia> krz: mta = send mail
[10:54] <GuestOne> i hate Canonical, they use shitty propietary forum software
[10:55] <blazemore> !ot | guzzlefry
[10:55] <blazemore> Sorry guzzlefry
[10:55] <GuestOne> why?
[10:55] <blazemore> !ot | GuestOne
[10:55] <avalarion> Hey ho, I've git Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and Rootkit Hunter 1.3.8 installed. Is there a source where I only get a newer version or rkhunter?
[10:56] <blazemore> avalarion: http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/
[10:56] <ikonia> avalarion: I very very strongly recommend you not trust that
[10:56] <krz> damn, i just pissed off an OP
[10:56] <krz> my bad
[10:56] <ikonia> krz: I assure you I'm not
[10:56] <krz> thats good to hear
[10:56] <avalarion> ikonia, why? I get every night an email because of "Warning: Hidden file found: /dev/.initramfs: symbolic link to `/run/initramfs'"
[10:56] <ikonia> avalarion: it provides so many false positives it's untrue,
[10:57] <ufk> ahh i need the forums back online :(
[10:57] <krz> ikonia: you have amazing patience. if it was me, i would have kicked myself out already :-P
[10:57] <ActionPa1snip> krz: apparently it can be an mta http://wiki.debian.org/Mutt but I have seen that the mutt guys recommend using an external mta if it is needed
[10:57] <avalarion> ikonia, the new version of rkhunter? Or rkhunter all in all?
[10:58] <ikonia> avalarion: in general
[10:58] <avalarion> blazemore, thanks =). I am looking for an apt source and not for the source itself. If I'd love to compile it bymyself I'd stayed with gentoo
[10:59] <avalarion> ikonia, as tool that's saying: "Take a look at..." it is very cool. As always you have to use your head and not just read emails.
[10:59] <avalarion> ikonia, or do you know a better one?
[10:59] <ActionPa1snip> krz: could ask in the mutt irc channel
[10:59] <ikonia> avalarion: I think it's a terrible tool, with no value at all
[11:00] <chunkyhead> is there an openbsd channel as well?
[11:00] <DJones> !alis | chunkyhead
[11:00] <ikonia> chunkyhead: sure, ask in #freenode how to search for channels
[11:00] <chunkyhead> (y) thanks DJones
[11:01] <krz> thunderbird is not bloated perse. i like being able to use the keyboard to navigate around. with thunderbird, my hand still lingers with the mouse
[11:04] <ElToro1966> Having problems with a 13.04 install on an UEFI machine. Tried everything here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI, but the install just keeps stalling just after the splash screen... After a few seconds, the spash disappears and the screen shows only the cursos for a while (first a big one, the a small one), and after that the whole thing stalls. Graphics driver problem?

[11:04] <mopsfold> I got dpkg dependency problems while running dpkg --configure -a
[11:06] <mikejw> is it possible to kill a child and parent process using start-stop-daemon?
[11:07] <mopsfold> I errors were encountered while processing gconf2 and about 30 other packages
[11:08] <blazemore> mopsfold: Can you please paste the errors on http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the resulting URL in channel?
[11:09] <ActionPa1snip> mopsfold: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[11:09] <ActionPa1snip> ElToro1966: what video chip do you use?
[11:09] <ufk> ok ubuntu's php comes with ftp, i had an old php version in /usr/local/bin
[11:09] <dorsatum> hi, my bluetooth service has not been working for about a week now. i posted a question regarding this on Ask Ubuntu, but it failed to garner interest, could someone help me regarding this? or is there another channel where i should post this?
[11:10] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: what is the make and model of the system? what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[11:10] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: details......
[11:10] <ElToro1966> The video card is an AMD Radeon HD 6800 series.
[11:11] <mopsfold> ubuntu 12.04.2 lts /n /l
[11:11] <ActionPa1snip> ElToro1966: tried the boot option:  radeon.nomodeset=1
[11:12] <dorsatum> @ActionPa1snip, it's an Acer Travelmate P643-M
[11:12] <ActionPa1snip> mopsfold: please pastebin the error messages as per blazemore's instruction
[11:12] <ElToro1966> No. Will try now.
[11:12] <ElToro1966> Thanks
[11:12] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: and the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[11:13] <dorsatum> ActionPa1snip: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l
[11:14] <mopsfold> don't think I can paste it as I only have command line
[11:14] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: found this: http://tinyurl.com/jvh7prz   but the ubuntu forums are down
[11:15] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: main link says 'HOWTO: Enabling Acer laptop bluetooth (especially Travelmate ...'
[11:15] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: looks promising, or have you aready seen that page?
[11:15] <dorsatum> ActionPa1snip: just a minute, it's loading
[11:16] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: again: the forums are down.... so it wont load
[11:16] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: how can it load when its down
[11:16] <mopsfold> it just repeats dpkg dependency problems prevent configuration of packages
[11:17] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: i used tiny url as google pollutes links with its own junk as well as the actual link, so I avoided spamming the channel
[11:17] <dorsatum> ActionPa1snip: sorry, made a mistake, i'll keep the link and open it in a day or so?
[11:17] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: whenever the forms come up
[11:17] <mar77i> okay. so... libreoffice is running terribly slow, but only for certain users
[11:17] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: do you have the latest BIOS? Do you dual boot the system?
[11:17] <ActionPa1snip> mar77i: tried renaming their libreoffice config folder?
[11:17] <mar77i> yes
[11:17] <dorsatum> ActionPa1snip: yes, i do, the other OS is Win7, but i rarely boot it.
[11:18] <ynze_> hello!
[11:18] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: in Windows device manager, disable the ability for the device to wake up the system as well as the power management
[11:18] <mar77i> ActionPa1snip: there's .config/libreoffice. I had removed that one first.
[11:19] <ActionPa1snip> mar77i: cool, thought that might be it, you can also set more RAM for libreoffice in the configs as well as disable Java if you don't need it
[11:19] <mar77i> ...
[11:20] <mar77i> I had, meaing before I came to ask here (because it didn't help)
[11:20] <ElToro1966> Well. Tried the radeon-option, but now the cursor just blinks. Nothing going on. Only change is that the screen doesn't go black like before.
[11:20] <ActionPa1snip> mar77i: there are guides aplenty for ram settings in libreoffice
[11:20] <ActionPa1snip> ElToro1966: try:  nomodeset   on it's own
[11:20] <ElToro1966> ok
[11:21] <ActionPa1snip> mar77i: http://www.codechewing.com/library/speed-up-libreoffice-load-time/
[11:21] <ActionPa1snip> mar77i: something like tha
[11:21] <dorsatum> ActionPa1snip: what do think is the reason for it not working? about 6 days back it was working perfectly, but then the next day when i switched the machine on, the soft icon on the top panel is missing and the bluetooth screen is frozen. I posted images of it on Ask Ubuntu, should i link the question here?
[11:23] <SimpleUser> Hi there. I'm often with friends at home, everyone on his/her computer. When we want to talk on the web or give oneself a link, we go on an external service (facebook, jabber...). Which is dumb. My question is : is there a simple way to chat in an internal way through my router ?
[11:23] <ynze_> I have a question about my Eee pc 901 and lubuntu.
[11:23] <ynze_> But first, have to eat!
[11:24] <ElToro1966> ActionPa1snip: Same thing happens with only nomodeset
[11:24] <mopsfold> can it help to hold gconf2 package.? it is the first on the error list
[11:25] <ActionPa1snip> dorsatum: no idea, did the windows config help?
[11:26] <dorsatum> ActionPa1snip: no, i'm gonna restart and boot Windows now. i'll post the results asap.
[11:32] <UnacceptableUse> Would it be a bad idea to flash Ubuntu touch on my Galaxy S3?
[11:32] <DJones> !touch | UnacceptableUse Probably better to ask in the dedicated touch/tablet/phone channel,
[11:33] <UnacceptableUse> ok thanks
[11:34] <[Raiden]> UnacceptableUse: Use backup and try. If you can.

[11:59] <ikonia> kakalakala: scp
[11:59] <auronandace> !scp | kakalakala
[11:59] <ActionPa1snip> gratcy: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install thunarx-python       but the PPA maintainer should ideally upadte their own PPA
[11:59] <ActionPa1snip> gratcy: your call
[11:59] <kakalakala> ikonia, auronandace can you gimme an example of the command?
[12:00] <b80905> ActionPa1snip: what do i have to do with it
[12:00] <ActionPa1snip> gratcy: fyi, I dont use rabbitvcs or even know what it is, I am simply searching the web and finding stuff
[12:00] <ikonia> scp file user@hostname:/remote/location
[12:00] <ActionPa1snip> b80905: install it, your switchable GPU is causing the issue
[12:00] <b80905> ActionPa1snip: i have installed it
[12:00] <kakalakala> here user@hostname is my current machine or the machine i am connected to ikonia ?
[12:01] <HDLowrider> Does anybody know if there has been any headway made with the Optimus graphics switching in 13.04
[12:01] <HDLowrider> ?
[12:02] <ikonia> not really any improvement
[12:02] <gratcy> ActionPa1snip: i just using ubuntu, before i used windows. in windows i use TortoiseSVN for svn client. rabbitvcs like tortoise so i try to use that.
[12:02] <t4nk698> about the attack on ubuntu forum, will i be able to log with my current password? i dont know if this is the one i use to other places.
[12:02] <ikonia> t4nk698: you will still have your current password
[12:03] <DJones> t4nk698: Best asking in #ubuntuforums
[12:03] <t4nk698> thanks
[12:03] <Kunal> sudo: unable to resolve host node07.host1free.com

[12:03] <ikonia> Kunal: can you resolve that host ?
[12:03] <SpecialEd> Hey guys, I got a Ubuntu 12.04 server with a RAID5 array that I'm trying to unrar a very large 65GB rar file on, it keeps using 100% disk I/O which borks other processes that run on this array.  Is there any way to throttle unrar so it doesn't use 100% disk I/O?  So far I've already tried using nice/ionice with no luck :(
[12:03] <ikonia> Kunal: looks like a non-existant host
[12:04] <ikonia> SpecialEd: what's using the IO, the actual unrar process, or the managment of the raid array during the unrar
[12:04] <SpecialEd> unrar
[12:04] <HDLowrider> I've seen where BumbleBee trys to fix the problem but it still uses does the switching itself. I just want to use the external switch on my laptop to do the switching manually. Is there anyway to do that?
[12:05] <ikonia> SpecialEd: are you %100 sure
[12:05] <SpecialEd> i've got nmon, iostat -x 1, & iotop all going, this has been driving me insane trying to figure out for a few hours straight now, lol
[12:05] <SpecialEd> 110% sure
[12:05] <ikonia> SpecialEd: if that's the case, then ionice on that process should work
[12:05] <heyuxiang> hi, i got a SATA III SSD, kingston ssdnow 300v, 120GB, but it SOMETIMES shows running at SATA II mode,
[12:06] <heyuxiang> i can't find a reason
[12:06] <SpecialEd> nice -n 19 ionice -c1 -n7 unrar e archivename.rar
[12:06] <SpecialEd> thats what i've tried without any luck :*
[12:07] <joshu> hi ikonia how are you?
[12:08] <compdoc> heyuxiang, how are you seeing this?
[12:08] <b80905> ActionPa1snip: what do i have to do after i have installed bumblebee
[12:08] <Kunal> so any way to solve it?
[12:08] <b80905> ActionPa1snip: ?

[12:12] <Lazuroth78> how do I fix my keyboard so it works when I start my computer every time I have ubuntu 13. 04
[12:12] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: what do you mean?
[12:12] <heyuxiang> whats wrong with your keyboard
[12:12] <Kunal> hmm.. kk
[12:13] <Lazuroth78> it acts like it not loading the drivers
[12:13] <Lazuroth78> I have to restart my computer 4 or 5 times to get my keyboard to work
[12:13] <decci_> Any idea how to do that
[12:13] <k1l_> Lazuroth78: which keyboard? there shouldnt be any drivers needed
[12:14] <Lazuroth78> I am on a laptop
[12:14] <Lazuroth78> it the laptop keyboard
[12:14] <volitek> I'm getting a black screen on every game with fglrx-experimental drivers but if I use fglrx-updates it works. Using 12.04 with 3.2 kernel. What could be wrong?
[12:15] <volitek> Do you think installing the X updates ppa would help?
[12:15] <k1l_> Lazuroth78: are you sure its not a hardware failure?
[12:15] <Lazuroth78> It never did this when I had windows
[12:15] <Lazuroth78> if I boot up in windows it works just fine
[12:16] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: keyboard doesn't need a driver.linux kernel has the driver
[12:17] <Lazuroth78> ok then why does my keyboard not work some times?
[12:17] <zipy> how can i check if ecryptfs is crypting my swap
[12:17] <Lazuroth78> it not the hardware
[12:17] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: so you mean, your keyboard has no response when you hit it under linux?
[12:17] <Lazuroth78> yeppers
[12:17] <k1l_> Lazuroth78: you can look into dmesg and syslog what went wrong
[12:18] <Lazuroth78> ok see I don't know how to do that
[12:18] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: can't type anything? can't even using CTRL, ALT,Fn?
[12:18] <Lazuroth78> nothing just the power button
[12:18] <GothPaw> I have a USB ProBox (holds 4 sata drives in it **without raid**) all 4 drives range from 250GB to 3TB. I am trying to figure out how to have the drives mount at bootup (they were added into my fstab). My other 6 internal drives all mount properly at bootup. Fstab entries are via UUID. Any suggestions please?
[12:19] <Lazuroth78> I have touse the on screen keyboard or keep restarting my computer till my mouse and keyboard work
[12:19] <streulma> hello, I can upgrade my kernel on Ubuntu Server 12.04, but when I reboot, the server don't boot and hangs, it's KVM virtualisation
[12:21] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: that's fucking weired
[12:21] <DJones> heyuxiang: Please don't curse in the Ubuntu channels
[12:21] <Lazuroth78> I had this problem with another linux os
[12:23] <heyuxiang> ohh
[12:23] <compdoc> streulma, most ppl only update the kernel for bug fixes, etc. Sounds like you are trying to install a newer kernel manually?
[12:23] <streulma> compdoc, no, with a apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:23] <eXcAliBuR> I got an email from my ISP that the server running my Bind DNS is part of a DDoD attack, how do I start to fix this?
[12:23] <streulma> or unattended upgrades
[12:23] <heyuxiang> i hate windows 7,8 i hate serial number, so i choose ubuntu as my main working OS.
[12:24] <eXcAliBuR> i'm upgrading Ubuntu now
[12:24] <Lazuroth78> I got rid of windows 7
[12:24] <Lazuroth78> all to gether for Ubunto
[12:24] <Lazuroth78> ubuntu
[12:24] <compdoc> streulma, thats odd. I run kvm on a few systems, and I keep them all updated
[12:24] <Lazuroth78> Ubuntu is 50 times faster online then any windows os I have seen
[12:24] <Lazuroth78> that is out of the box
[12:25] <compdoc> that is off the wall
[12:25] <streulma> Lazuroth78: should I run Ubuntu on my Mac :D
[12:25] <Lazuroth78> I don't know I don't use mac
[12:25] <heyuxiang> i have this amazing hardware all for ubuntu: 2*4GB 1600Mhz RAM, 120GB SSD with 500M/s R&W speed.11 inch, 1.3kg.
[12:26] <heyuxiang> 6.5 hours battery
[12:26] <Lazuroth78> The laptop I have had windows 7 on it and I hated windows honestly I can't stand microsoft products and I have been using open source products for years
[12:27] <Lazuroth78> nice
[12:27] <heyuxiang> i would get Macbook air if i have enough money.
[12:27] <heyuxiang> however, ubuntu is nice as a desktop OS.
[12:28] <Lazuroth78> I am limted on funds my self I got my laptop for 150 bucks and it had 4gig ram 450 hard with dvd burner
[12:28] <Lazuroth78> if all I have to get is usb keyboard for my laptop I am happy
[12:29] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: i see, you use an second hand laptop?
[12:29] <Lazuroth78> yes I do
[12:29] <streulma> and I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch, Quad i7, with 256GB ssd
[12:30] <Lazuroth78> they keyboard is working now and does not stop working only when I turn my computer off and restart it
[12:30] <Lazuroth78> does it stop
[12:30] <heyuxiang> ok, i guess the problem is the keyboard wire is off
[12:30] <Lazuroth78> how do you turn it on
[12:30] <heyuxiang> take off the keyboard, clean the connectors
[12:31] <Lazuroth78> ok that is going to have to be taken in and have it done
[12:31] <heyuxiang> there may be too much dust inside your laptop.
[12:32] <Lazuroth78> did not think about that I will take it in and have it cleaned up
[12:32] <heyuxiang> i would take it into pieces and give it a cleanning
[12:32] <Lazuroth78> or I will call my uncle he can do it
[12:33] <heyuxiang> yes
[12:33] <volitek> Anyone got any thoughts about how to sort out my amd graphics drivers?
[12:33] <heyuxiang> good luck
[12:33] <Lazuroth78> most soft ware stuff I can fix my self but I am new to linux and not sure of anything on Ubuntu
[12:34] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: ubuntu  is better than windows 7 at installing. when installing, ubuntu recognized all my hardware, including wireless and wired network.
[12:34] <Lazuroth78> it let me browse the web while it was installing
[12:35] <Lazuroth78> just had to use the onscreen keyboard
[12:35] <Lazuroth78> and usb mouse
[12:35] <heyuxiang> windows 7? that shiiiit can't find my wireless and wired hardware, so i have no way to install network drivers, that mean , i can't go online, that means i can;t donwload drivers, that means i have to kill the installation
[12:35] <Lazuroth78> but I think your right I think my keyboard needs to be cleaned
[12:36] <Lazuroth78> windows 7 your screwed if it don't find your wireless drivers
[12:36] <kurtwp_> what is the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu desktop usb
[12:37] <Lazuroth78> I am not sure but I think it is the size of the install
[12:37] <heyuxiang> by the way, i created the windows 7 usb installation drive in Linux...
[12:37] <Lazuroth78> nice
[12:37] <heyuxiang> nothing can't be that easy to create the win7 usb boot flash.
[12:37] <heyuxiang> under linux
[12:38] <Lazuroth78> lol
[12:38] <heyuxiang> but in windows? there is no east way to make a bootable windows 7 usb flash.
[12:38] <Lazuroth78> I don't know how to make a boot disk for ubuntu as far as that goes
[12:39] <angs> is http://ubuntuforums.org/ an official Ubuntu forum?
[12:39] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: very very easy. just download the .iso file. using the linux command: dd
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> heyuxiang: I believe you can use unetbootin if you format the stick NTFS first (using Windows)
[12:40] <Lazuroth78> ok in term you just put dd and that is it
[12:40] <heyuxiang> ActionParsnip: i was talking about creating a bootable windows 7 usb flash drive.
[12:40] <Pici> angs: Yes.
[12:41] <angs> thank you
[12:41] <heyuxiang> long time no using English, i forget how to say it.
[12:41] <Lazuroth78> I will need more detail on how to make the ubuntu boot disk
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> heyuxiang: yes, and I have read you can use unetbootin....
[12:42] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: boot usb is better i guess
[12:42] <Lazuroth78> ok how do I do that then
[12:42] <blazemore> heyuxiang: Lazuroth78 The program I use on Windows to make both Windows and Linux bootable USBs is "Linux Live USB" http://www.linuxliveusb.com
[12:42] <micha_> Welche Laptops eigen sich für ubuntu?
[12:43] <DJones> !de | micha_
[12:43] <blazemore> !german | micha_
[12:43] <angs> Pici, do you know how serious problem does that forum have?
[12:43] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: there is a wiki on official ubuntu website. also as guys mentioned, "unetbootin, linux live usb" are nice tools
[12:43] <Lazuroth78> will have to duel boot windows on to my computer so I can run the program
[12:43] <Pici> angs: Everything is explained on the announcement page.
[12:44] <Lazuroth78> normaly I just have my tech do all this for me
[12:45] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: or this : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[12:46] <heyuxiang> i'm using the entire disk on Ubuntu.
[12:46] <heyuxiang> if i need a windows, i would install inside virtualbox
[12:46] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:46] <heyuxiang> blazemore: howdy
[12:48] <blazemore> Hello heyuxiang
[12:48] <Lazuroth78> easy way is download .iso file for ubunto and burn it to cd
[12:51] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: CD is too slow
[12:51] <heyuxiang> Lazuroth78: i dont have a CD drive on my laptop
[12:51] <Lazuroth78> I have dvd burner on my laptop that why I am willing to do it
[12:52] <dhina> hi all
[12:52] <dhina> how to simulate lvm mirror failure in ubuntu ?
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> heyuxiang: are you in a hurry?
[12:52] <heyuxiang> ActionParsnip: what?
[12:52] <heyuxiang> yep, im getting out for some food :)
[12:53] <dhina> how to simulate lvm mirror failure in ubuntu
[12:53] <compdoc> unplug a drive?
[12:53] <Laurenceb> http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge
[12:53] <Laurenceb> theyll need to get a bit more than thart
[12:53] <blazemore> !ot | Laurenceb
[12:53] <dhina> no i working in aws , its ebs volume
[12:53] <prodnix> Hi all, so I have customised a livecd and I have added it to my PXE server and all is well except 1 change which I made. I editted fstab to automount a windows server share. Any ideas of how i can implement this?
[12:53] <Lazuroth78> I am getting  a Terra drive for my laptop on the first can you give any name of name brand that work well with ubuntu
[12:54] <Lazuroth78> for external tera drives
[12:54] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: Any external USB hard drive will work with Ubuntu
[12:54] <compdoc> Laurenceb, that amount has grown very rapidly since it started a few days ago. I looks as if they will meet the goal
[12:54] <Lazuroth78> ok cool
[12:55] <Lazuroth78> I really should change my name to linux virgin  lol
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> heyuxiang: you  say CD is slow, are you in a hurry?
[12:55] <prodnix> once u pop u cant stop :D
[12:55] <Lazuroth78> I have all day
[12:56] <Lazuroth78> or till i pass out
[12:56] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: Nobody minds people who lack experience, the only problem in this channel is people who are rude, and people who won't accept an expert's answer. Neither of those apply to you
[12:57] <Lazuroth78> I don't like the xterm you can't copy and paste and that has been my best friend sence getting ubuntu
[12:57] <prodnix> Hi all, so I have customised a livecd and I have added it to my PXE server and all is well except 1 change which I made. I editted fstab to automount a windows server share. Any ideas of how i can implement this? Is putting is in rc.local a viable option?
[12:57] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: Are you wanting a recommendation for a different terminal?
[12:57] <blazemore> !patience | prodnix
[12:57] <anders_> I think you can copy using crt+shift+c.
[12:58] <prodnix> lol ubottu need to be made aware of the hack :D
[12:58] <Lazuroth78> no I figured out to use the orginal term and stay away from the x term  I have have not tried the ux term yet
[12:58] <Lazuroth78> don't know the differance
[12:58] <blazemore> prodnix: Well noticed, but I doubt it's worth the effort at this point
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> prodnix: does the netry in /etc/fstab mount ok once you hit the desktop?
[12:58] <prodnix> hehe
[12:59] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: They all do the same thing basically. They all just run your shell. The differences are in graphical features. I personally recommend Terminator, it's what I use all day at work because you can split and group terminal windows within the main window
[12:59] <prodnix> ActionParsnip: the change seems to have disappeared completely when i cat /etc/fstab
[13:00] <Lazuroth78> I try to stay out of term as much as I possibly can I am a bit intemidated by it
[13:00] <prodnix> ActionParsnip: fstab looks nothing like it did when i was editting it, looks like its generated on boot or something of that nature
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> prodnix: then you will need to add it, or add a mount command in rc.local
[13:00] <StarOnD> which tv tuner card which is easily available in india is compatible with Ubuntu 13.04 ? any one in here would know ?
[13:00] <MonkeyDust> Lazuroth78  learning how to use it, helps you to not being intimidated by it
[13:00] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: Nothing wrong with that, although don't be intimidated by it. Sometimes graphical utilities are better, but some tasks just lend themselves better to a terminal-based workflow
[13:00] <streulma> how do I update my server without kernel upgrade ?
[13:00] <blazemore> streulma: sudo apt-get upgrade
[13:01] <streulma> sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded ?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> streulma: you could apt-pin the kernel package
[13:01] <blazemore> I didn't think the server updated the kernel without dist-upgrade
[13:01] <blazemore> I might be wrong though, Puppet deals with everything for me
[13:02] <prodnix> ActionParsnip: Thats what i thought, i think rc.local is my only option but wasnt sure if that would work as livecds act very wierdly for obvious reasons
[13:02] <streulma> oh yes, packages kept back
[13:02] <Lazuroth78> yeah I am going to get a book on ubuntu term commands and sit down and really learn it
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> prodnix: should technnically work, the LAN will also have come up too, fstab is processed before the networking comes up
[13:02] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: None of the commands are specific to ubuntu
[13:03] <prodnix> ActionParsnip: TYVM :)
[13:03] <Lazuroth78> so once I learn commands they go to any linux
[13:03] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: In short: yes
[13:03] <Lazuroth78> awsome
[13:03] <Lazuroth78> I thought each os had it own set of commands
[13:03] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: In the way that when you learn to drive a car you can essentially drive any car, but don't expect the cup-holder to be in the same place
[13:04] <Lazuroth78> lol
[13:04] <prodnix> love that explanation :D
[13:04] <Lazuroth78> good way to put that
[13:04] <Lazuroth78> love that one
[13:04] <Ryan_L_Williams> Hello Ubuntu.
[13:04] <Ryan_L_Williams> I need to know what's the best ISO Burner for burning Windows, Liunx, etc
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: there is no single best ISO burner, for any OS
[13:05] <blazemore> Ryan_L_Williams: They're all basically the same. What OS are you on?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: do you really think one exists that is outright best...really!?
[13:05] <basiclaser> hallo hallo
[13:05] <Ryan_L_Williams> ActionParsnip: Really, I thought there will be
[13:06] <blazemore> Ryan_L_Williams: What would make one better than another, in your mind?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: if there was, nobody would use anything else and they would cease to be
[13:06] <Ryan_L_Williams> blazemore: I want to burn Windows XP
[13:06] <Ryan_L_Williams> blazemore: I want to burn Windows 7
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: think about it....
[13:06] <JuJuBean> CDs are yesteryear. It's like asking which toaster is best. They all make toast.
[13:06] <blazemore> Ryan_L_Williams: It either burns the disk or it doesn't
[13:06] <Ryan_L_Williams> ActionParsnip: Think about what
[13:06] <Pici> !burners
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: the statement I gave you
[13:06] <blazemore> JuJuBean: Not true at all. Some toasters toast unevenly
[13:06] <JuJuBean> on windows try cdburnerxp
[13:06] <Lazuroth78> windows seven is not worth the cd it being burnt to
[13:07] <blazemore> Lazuroth78: so edgy
[13:07] <Pici> !offtopic
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: everyone would use the best one, as the others are lesser. The development would stop on the other burners
[13:07] <Ryan_L_Williams> ActionParsnip: what statement, I'll speak binary now joking mat, so what shall I do to burn a ISO onto a blank Disk
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: Its like asking "what is the best web browser?", you will get opinions. None are outright best
[13:07] <blazemore> Ryan_L_Williams: If you are on Ubuntu, the built-in one is perfect
[13:07] <Pici> ActionParsnip: you've made your point.
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: brassero is in a default ubuntu install
[13:07] <JuJuBean> I cant remember which year I last burned an iso in.
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Pici: hence me stopping (see above)
[13:07] <Lazuroth78> I am fond of chrome
[13:08] <blazemore> Ryan_L_Williams: If you are on Windows 7, ditto. If you are on an earlier version of Windows, look at CDBurnerXP
[13:08] <k1l_> Ryan_L_Williams: just use any burner you want. its not rocket sience. no need to make such a drama out of it
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_L_Williams: xfburn and k3b are also available in the repos
[13:08] <Ryan_L_Williams> ActionParsnip: I use Google Chrome, because it's fast, easier too
[13:08] <k1l_> Ryan_L_Williams: and if you are using windows ask the windows guys for support.
[13:09] <Lazuroth78> honestly windows xp has been and always will be my fav windows
[13:09] <blazemore> I think we should all agree to stop now
[13:09] <k1l_> !ot | Lazuroth78 Ryan_L_Williams  etc
[13:09] <Ryan_L_Williams> Okay thanks guys for all your support, because I was going to ask
[13:10] <Ryan_L_Williams> Is ubunuforums.com down???
[13:10] <blazemore> Ryan_L_Williams: Do you own eyeballs?
[13:10] <Lazuroth78> Yall have fun I will be back if I have more questions
[13:10] <JuJuBean> i hate the overzelous nature of freenode channels.
[13:10] <k1l_> Ryan_L_Williams: just try it yourself. for questions regarding forums ask in #ubuntuforums
[13:10] <JuJuBean> especially this being the off topic channel.
[13:10] <JuJuBean> er, nm
[13:10] <Pici> JuJuBean: This is #ubuntu, NOT the offtopic channel
[13:10] <JuJuBean> hah. thats my fault
[13:11] <Ryan_L_Williams> Somebody type in #windows
[13:11] <mbeierl> I've installed remmina and remmina-plugin-nx, but nx is not listed as a protocol option.  I see an old bug report for Oneiric, but nothing about 13.04.  Anyone know how to get the nx plugin to show up as a protocol for remmina?
[13:11] <JuJuBean> ok, return with zeal to overzealous mode! :D
[13:13] <mbeierl> in fact I installed telepathy and xdmcp as well, and they're not showing up either
[13:17] <codephobic> hi
[13:18] <QuietStorm81> Good morning all. I've a bit of an odd issue with wi-fi connectivity on my laptop running 13.04. I can login into wi-fi that has passwords that have letters in them but when the passwords are all numeric as the one at my home is, I can't login. The laptop will continually ask for the right password even though I'm entering it right off the side of my modem.
[13:18] <QuietStorm81> Any ideas what might be causing this?
[13:19] <codephobic> usr13, hi was busy yesterday, but just wanted to let you know that it's sorted now. The video playback is tear-free, once I used the video-tear-free on setting. It reduced the framerate on the vgl_gears test by quite a bit though (but I don't think that's too important to me).
[13:20] <Magicarp> Does the kernel effect the performance of the blob GPU driver?
[13:20] <codephobic> I need some help with setting up a shared documents directory from ubuntu to a bunch of VMs... I've done this before, quite some time ago, but can't seem to get it working now.
[13:20] <blazemore> codephobic: Are the VMs running on the same machine you want to share the directory from?
[13:20] <codephobic> I forgot how to enable a folder/directory to be shared in ubuntu and set permissions.
[13:21] <codephobic> blazemore, both on this machine and on another machine on the same LAN.
[13:21] <mbeierl> codephobic: CIFS or NFS?
[13:21] <codephobic> I had it setup so fstab mounted //<ip address> /directory cifs ...
[13:21] <mbeierl> codephobic: sorry - sharing using MS Windows networking?
[13:22] <codephobic> mbeierl, both with an ubuntu server vm in Windows 7 and with a bunch of different vms hosted on this ubuntu.
[13:22] <blazemore> codephobic: I'd just go about setting up a normal Samba share, the fact they're VMs is a red herring
[13:22] <usr13> codephobic: Very good.
[13:23] <codephobic> blazemore, hmm, I normally share folders by just setting the share permission within the gui, but that doesn't seem to have worked as far as the VMs are concerned.
[13:24] <mbeierl> codephobic: so yes, to share from Ubuntu there is the right-click dropdown menu that will guide you through setting up the share as the "server side".  For mounting the share, you can use /etc/fstab
[13:24] <codephobic> I can't seem to access the folder nor provide a proper address: <ip address>/folder/path/
[13:24] <usr13> codephobic: You can use samba and nfs on the same share. I use nfs for Linux clients and samba for MS Windows ones.  I do both.  It's pretty straight forward.
[13:24] <codephobic> mbeierl, that's pretty much what I've been trying but I'm definitely mucking something up.
[13:25] <mbeierl> codephobic: For my fstab, I have //server/share /media/public    cifs    user=guest,dom=WORKGROUP,sec=none       0       0
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> mbeierl: no password?
[13:25] <mbeierl> codephobic: if your share requires a specific username password combo, instead of guest, then you need to look into credentials files
[13:26] <mbeierl> ActionParsnip: for my private home network, no I have an open dropbox share
[13:26] <usr13> codephobic: Do you have your PC set to static IP?  (It makes things easier.)  Many routers have option for static lease, which is to say that it gives the same IP to a PC each time it boots up.
[13:26] <codephobic> /<IP_ADDRESS>/office/ /media/work ntfs credentials=/root/.creds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[13:26] <mbeierl> I also run with scissor at times.
[13:26] <codephobic> ^^ that's how my Nas shares are at present
[13:27] <mbeierl> codephobic: wait- you have ntfs there as the filesystem type
[13:27] <codephobic> but I use ntfs for the shares on this local machine (sharing directories from a bunch of NTFS formatted/windows disks)
[13:27] <codephobic> oops
[13:27] <mbeierl> codephobic: should that not be cifs?  ntfs is a local filesystem only, not network
[13:27] <codephobic> /<IP_ADDRESS>/office/ /media/work cifs credentials=/root/.creds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[13:27] <usr13> codephobic: Spelling error.
[13:27] <codephobic> ^^ sorry typo/
[13:27] <codephobic> I typed ntfs when I meant cifs
[13:27] <mbeierl> ok, I thought that it might have been just that simple
[13:27] <codephobic> hehe
[13:27] <codephobic> I wish
[13:28] <codephobic> (but, no doubt, I've mucked something simple up, somewhere)
[13:28] <mbeierl> sorry - work calls for a bit...  Perhaps paste the error that occurs when trying to mount?
[13:28] <codephobic> k,
[13:28] <raub> I take line 2 in http://pastie.org/private/u26tyst3b0p5cer0aoow is the driver version being used to control the card
[13:28] <raub> But, which driver is this?
[13:28] <Pici> 70
[13:28] <raub> (filename/.whatever)
[13:29] <codephobic> "Retrying with upper case share name
[13:29] <codephobic> mount error(6): No such device or address
[13:29] <codephobic> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[13:29] <codephobic> "
[13:29] <FloodBot1> codephobic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:29] <codephobic> oops - just copy/pasted the error message.
[13:30] <usr13> codephobic: And I don't think you really need file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
[13:30] <usr13> codephobic: ShareName is CaseSensitive.
[13:30] <codephobic> usr13, I'll try removing that.
[13:30] <usr13> codephobic: And no frontslash at the beginning of the line.
[13:31] <usr13> codephobic: I would suggest something like: <IP_ADDRESS>/office/ /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600
[13:32] <codephobic> usr13, that's strange, I use // in front of the ips for shares from windows and from my nas. I figured that was the general convention.
[13:32] <codephobic> ok, I'll just try that too.
[13:32] <usr13> codephobic: But /media/work ?  Why isn't it /home/codephodic/work  ?
[13:33] <Pici> Does your NAS serve it as NFS or CIFS?
[13:33] <usr13> codephobic: I just don't think /media/ is the best place for that.  What kind of files are they?
[13:33] <mbeierl> codephobic: the no such device or address is calling out to me.  I would question if the IP address is still where you think it is.  Go on that box (and if it's Windows) do an ipconfig /all from a dos box?
[13:34] <codephobic> web, illustrator, psd, system settings ... that's just the root folder
[13:35] <vishnu_> hello
[13:35] <vishnu_> any one there
[13:35] <mbeierl_> !ask | vishnu_
[13:35] <codephobic> mbeierl, the ip address is of this machine. I'm pretty certain it's the correct address
[13:35] <usr13> codephobic: Actually, I made a mistake too. Should be:  <IP_ADDRESS>:office/ /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600
[13:36] <codephobic> usr13, ah ok I'll give that a try
[13:36] <vishnu_> thanx
[13:36] <usr13> codephobic: Notice the :  instead of /  <IP_ADDRESS>:office  and not slash at the end  so:
[13:36] <mbeierl> codephobic: what OS is on <IP_ADDRESS>?
[13:36] <usr13> <IP_ADDRESS>:office /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600
[13:37] <usr13> <IP_ADDRESS>:/what/ever/office /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600
[13:37] <mbeierl> The reason I ask is usr13's fstab entry is for NFS, and if that is Windows, it won't be serving up NFS...
[13:37] <codephobic> mbeierl, it's ubuntu (this host machine)
[13:37] <mbeierl> codephobic: ok.
[13:37] <codephobic> the vm I'm trying to setup is also ubuntu (12.04 LTS server)
[13:38] <usr13> codephobic: This is not for a nfs share?
[13:38] <usr13> codephobic: So it *is* nfs. Right?
[13:40] <codephobic> usr13, I need to set the share on both windows and ubuntu/debian vms, but this specific examples is ubuntu to ubuntu
[13:41] <usr13> codephobic: Ok, then use the example I showed you.  But correct the path(s) as needed.
[13:41] <codephobic> I tried the nfs example you suggested, but got an "bad superblock" error
[13:41] <mbeierl_> codephobic, you eventually will need to get the Windows share working too, and that will be another method.
[13:41] <usr13> codephobic: And set your exports file as needed
[13:41] <codephobic> mbeierl, I think windows uses cifs to communicate with linux, no?
[13:42] <vishnu_> hi guy can we delay the boot up time so that i can show off my new splash screen
[13:42] <codephobic> usr13, exports file?
[13:42] <Wulf> vishnu_: is that a grub splash screen?
[13:42] <mbeierl> codephobic: yes, it will need to use cifs.  The setup you are working on with usr13 is NFS, which is a different filesystem.  You would need to make sure you have nfs client and server installed for that
[13:42] <vishnu_> ya
[13:42] <Wulf> vishnu_: yes, it's possible.
[13:42] <usr13> codephobic: /etc/exports  should have line like:   /office <IP_ADDRESS>/24(rw)    #If that is the actual path.
[13:43] <vishnu_> thanks wulf
[13:43] <codephobic> ah
[13:43] <Wulf> vishnu_: you're welcome
[13:43] <vishnu_> but how
[13:43] <Mosselman> hey guys, I have a question about recording video from my webcam through command-line.
[13:43] <Wulf> vishnu_: don't know. Did you rtfm?
[13:43] <vishnu_> what is rtfm
[13:43] <Wulf> vishnu_: read the fascinating manual
[13:44] <BluesKaj> Wulf, don't , it's not funny either
[13:44] <Mosselman> I have found a command to use with ffmpeg online: `ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp…` I have no '/dev/dsp'. I have read that it has been replaced with libav or something, but how can I use that in the ffmpeg command?
[13:44] <mbeierl> Wulf, if you don't have an example, don't tell people to go away.
[13:44] <vaurdan> Hey guys
[13:44] <usr13> Mosselman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5907624/
[13:44] <Wulf> mbeierl: I told him to read. I know that it's easy to find in the docs.
[13:45] <vaurdan> anyone knows why when I'm installing virtualbox, it asks me to remove gnome-terminal? :o
[13:45] <Mosselman> usr13: thanks, but I don't have /dev/dsp
[13:45] <usr13> codephobic: You have to use the *complete* path.
[13:45] <vishnu_> its really happens!
[13:45] <Wulf> Mosselman: you're probably using alsa or pulseaudio
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> vaurdan: where is virtualbox installing from?
[13:46] <k1l_> !rtfm | Wulf
[13:46] <vaurdan> downloaded .deb from their site
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> vaurdan: the virtualbox repo, or the ubuntu repos?
[13:46] <Mosselman> Wulf: probably, what should I use instead then? I have no idea how this works.
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> vaurdan: thats why then
[13:46] <vaurdan> now I just tried from ubuntu repos, and it works
[13:46] <BluesKaj> moss just replace ffmpeg with libav , the command strings are supposed to work the same for both
[13:46] <vaurdan> wirdo :o
[13:46] <Wulf> Mosselman: what are you trying to do?
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> vaurdan: I suggest you let the guys know
[13:46] <BluesKaj> Mosselman,^
[13:46] <vaurdan> I'll fill a bug report :)
[13:46] <vaurdan> in virtualbox site
[13:46] <Mosselman> Wulf: record video from webcam through command-line
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> vaurdan: why not use the one from the ubuntu repos which is known to be good?
[13:46] <vaurdan> 'cause I didn't checked first the repos
[13:46] <vaurdan> just tried right now
[13:46] <vaurdan> ehehhe
[13:46] <Wulf> Mosselman: your camera will probably not use a sound device
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> vaurdan: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose    done
[13:47] <Wulf> Mosselman: is it a usb camera?
[13:47] <Mosselman> Wulf: 'dap' is just for audio?
[13:47] <Mosselman> Wulf: yep
[13:47] <vaurdan> btw, another question: there is any way to configure webcam (exposure, etc etc)?
[13:47] <Mosselman> I think it has audio, but whatever, video is fine for now
[13:47] <blazemore> vaurdan: That's configured on a per-app basis I think
[13:47] <Wulf> Mosselman: well, maybe it is alsa. Check if alsa shows you the camera device
[13:47] <codephobic> usr13, hmm, the folder "office" is actually on another disk, and I have setup a path with fstab to /office, so when I configured the fstab on the vm, I used <ip address>/office (and am now trying <ip address>:office)
[13:47] <Wulf> Mosselman: "aplay -L" or so
[13:47] <vaurdan> I can't find that option on skype though
[13:48] <Wulf> Mosselman: or arecord -l
[13:48] <Bauer> I have trouble migrating from my HDd to SSD drive :( Latest attempt I tried following http://askubuntu.com/questions/40372/how-to-move-ubuntu-to-an-ssd  andcp -ax /media/hd /media/ssd copies like /media/ssd/hd instead of copying to ssd  folder
[13:48] <blazemore> vaurdan: I don't have Skype installed right now, but I'm sure there are video settings
[13:48] <Mosselman> Wulf yep it shows it
[13:48] <BluesKaj> Mosselman, I'll repeat in case you missed it ,  just replace ffmpeg with libav , the command strings are supposed to work the same for both
[13:48] <Mosselman> what is the alsa equivalent of /dev/dsp? do you happen to know?
[13:48] <vaurdan> Yup, there are, but it only allows me to select the camera...
[13:49] <vaurdan> I'm going to try luvcview
[13:49] <Wulf> Mosselman: "man ffmpeg", search for alsa. Not sure if suits your needs, though
[13:49] <usr13> codephobic: What is the full path to /office/ ?
[13:49] <blazemore> vaurdan: No option to reveal advanced settings?
[13:49] <vaurdan> no :o
[13:49] <usr13> codephobic: .... on the server end.
[13:49] <Mosselman> Wulf thanks
[13:49] <Mosselman> BluesKaj: thanks, Ill give that a try
[13:49] <Mosselman> I missed it
[13:49] <vaurdan> skype since was bought by microsoft is so shitty in its linux version....
[13:49] <codephobic> the full path on the server is: /office/
[13:50] <blazemore> vaurdan: Skype for Linux has always been sub-par compared to the Windows version
[13:50] <Bauer> vaurdan: configuring video camera is done via a driver/device, not via skype settings in linux
[13:50] <blazemore> Bauer: Is that the case? I stand corrected then, sorry vaurdan
[13:51] <Bauer> blazemore: I remember tinkering with webcam long ago, you tweak the device, not the settings in skype. dont rememebr the details
[13:51] <vaurdan> blazemore, yes, I know, but since microsoft bought it, is so unstable on ubuntu
[13:51] <usr13> codephobic: So use the exports line I showed you and it should work for you.
[13:51] <joshu> when doing a new ubuntu desktop 13.04 install from the livecd is there a way to not install any extra/ additional applications apart from the essential base system?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> joshu: that is default, just dont select to install updates or codecs
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> joshu: if yoou want bare basics you can use the minimal install
[13:52] <Mosselman> Thanks guys (Wulf BluesKaj) it worked. Now just the adio
[13:52] <Mosselman> audio
[13:53] <Bauer> I have trouble migrating from my HDd to SSD drive :( Latest attempt I tried following http://askubuntu.com/questions/40372/how-to-move-ubuntu-to-an-ssd  andcp -ax /media/hd /media/ssd copies like /media/ssd/hd instead of copying to ssd  folder..  Or can anyone instruct me how to migrate it properly?
[13:54] <joshu> ActionParsnip oh ok I thought you had to do something else to specify that
[13:54] <blazemore> Bauer: The fact one is an SSD and one is an HDD is irrelevant - you need instructions on how to move an Ubuntu installation from one disk to another
[13:54] <vaurdan> does anyone has an idea when are the foruns coming back?
[13:54] <blazemore> Bauer: So if you try searching for that, you might find more useful resources than if you search about SSDs
[13:54] <usr13> codephobic: And it should have permissions 755 for directory and 644 for files and owned by group users
[13:54] <blazemore> vaurdan: We only know what it says on the announcement page
[13:55] <Bauer> good idea blazemore , will give it a try.. thanks. unless someone answers faster :)
[13:55] <codephobic> usr13, just wrote the exports as you suggested. do I need to restart/reboot anything?
[13:55] <blazemore> joshu: Take a look at http://askubuntu.com/a/207241
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> joshu: there are ticky boxes to install extra stuff at install time, just read the screen
[13:57] <usr13> codephobic: Not sure, but just restarting nfs will do.  sudo service nfs restart
[13:57] <codephobic> k
[13:58] <Bauer> blazemore: the general instructions all point to using gparted to "clone" the partitions and then install grub on it.  problem is that afterwards, I cant login on X. when I login on text mode, I get error after logging in like : setreuid operation failed
[13:58] <usr13> codephobic: And you can set up that same directory for a samba share as well.
[14:00] <usr13> codephobic: sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
[14:00] <Mosselman> Video works well now, but when using audio it messes up (hardly any file size, video is frozen image and audio is only a fraction of the time and inaccurate)
[14:01] <Euro> does someone know if the ubuntu edge will be shipped from within europe?
[14:03] <PandinusImperato> Euro, yes
[14:03] <PandinusImperato> Free shipping US/UK, $30 for other destinations
[14:03] <Wulf> PandinusImperato: source of the information?
[14:03] <usr13> codephobic: And /office/ should probably be owned by group "users":  sudo chown codephobic:users /office/
[14:03] <PandinusImperato> http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/ubuntu-edge-canonical-linux-smartphone-122667
[14:04] <PandinusImperato> sorry, wrong link

[14:04] <zerotrack> hi, someone can tells me if user/password of ubuntuforums.org is the same of Launchpad and 'ask ubuntu' ?
[14:04] <blazemore> zerotrack: It's not
[14:05] <rantic> zerotrack: Unless you made it the same of course
[14:05] <blazemore> ^
[14:05] <Euro> thank you PandinusImperato... very good, so no import taxes should apply for me
[14:05] <qwebirc42327> Hello, can anyone give me advice on how to install Ubuntu from a bios screen? Just doing my first build, thanks
[14:05] <blazemore> qwebirc42327: Did you use a USB or a DVD?
[14:05] <lukicat> any1 has an idea how to get 'libgfortran.so.1' libraries on ubuntu 12.04??
[14:06] <zerotrack> rantic, ok, ok.. i mean if is the same 'login process'... you understand
[14:06] <zerotrack> blazemore, thanks
[14:06] <usr13> qwebirc42327: Just tell it to boot to the install media you have.
[14:06] <qwebirc42327> I'm trying to download it onto a USB but it's taking forever. But eventually USB, yeah.
[14:06] <blazemore> zerotrack: No, Ubuntu Single SignOn has not been compromised. Only vbulletin has been exploited
[14:06] <Wulf> lukicat: sounds old. Can you not use the current version?
[14:06] <rantic> zerotrack: The services do not tie into each other. In other words, your ubuntuforums account has been compromised but this didn't give them access to your details at launchpad or ask ubuntu. They are unrelated in that respect.
[14:06] <blazemore> qwebirc42327: You just boot from your installation medium and follow the instructions in the installer
[14:07] <qwebirc42327> Ok! Thanks
[14:07] <usr13> qwebirc42327: You may have boot options shown during boot process, maybe F12?  Watch for it during the bootup process, (right after post).
[14:07] <donta> forums hacked?
[14:07] <zerotrack> rantic, blazemore great, thank you guys
[14:07] <usr13> donta: Yes
[14:08] <donta> :/
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> donta: yes, search the web, its all over
[14:08] <donta> ActionParsnip: just got the email
[14:08] <usr13> donta: We all need to change passwords periodically anyhow.
[14:08] <donta> do we know the method yet?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> usr13: sadly, users rarely follow best practice
[14:09] <usr13> i know
[14:09] <codephobic> usr13, I keep getting  errors: http://pastebin.com/HVCg3evZ
[14:09] <donta> usr13: yup, just more email spam now :(
[14:10] <codephobic> what's the best way to setup shared folders between linux machines across a network? I think I should start over, as I'm really quite lost now.
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> codephobic: I'd use SFTP, it installs when you install openssh-server
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> codephobic: if you port forward port 22 on your router you can access your data from anywhere
[14:11] <BakaKuna> hi all, I have this very interesting, and fortunately reproducable bug. But I'm having a hard time trying to get together a bug report. When I force the bug, the system goes back to gdm log in. After that I can login to a graphical environment. A call trace for the event is then left on another (non graphical) tty. How do I get the call trace from this tty, so that i can attach it to my report?
[14:12] <joshu> on the laptop I'm testing (HP 655 on the ubuntu hardware certified list) why can't I change display brightness with the open-source default amd driver gallion, but with the propiertary fglrx I can? Everything seems to work otherwise, external monitors, mirroring etc, just not display brightness.
[14:12] <codephobic> ActionParsnip, that sounds too powerful for me, I might end up compromising my system unintentionally. I'm just surprised I could get cifs to work by simply following googled instructions and adapt it to windows shares but can't get my linuxes sharing...
[14:12] <usr13> codephobic: Looks like you are trying to mount it from the server.  The fstab entry goes in the client.  The client, (another PC), will mount the [remote] nfs share.  After each rewrite of the /etc/exports file, I *think* you need to restart nfs deamon:  sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
[14:12] <codephobic> usr13, I just tried restarting the nfs-kernel
[14:12] <codephobic> but got the same error.
[14:13] <codephobic> I'm sure I've messed it up and I need to clean it out and start again...
[14:13] <usr13> codephobic: Show me the error.
[14:13] <jacks> Hello! My screen flickers as soon as I start my system from suspension mode. Any solutions?
[14:13] <Euro> BakaKuna: you could try cat /dev/tt[numer] > /tmp/ttylog on another terminal
[14:13] <codephobic> usr13, this is error: http://pastebin.com/HVCg3evZ
[14:14] <Euro> BEFORE it start printing the trace
[14:14] <blazemore> jacks: Could you provide some more details about your hardware and Ubuntu version please?
[14:14] <usr13> codephobic: Yes, I see the error from mount. I just responded to that.
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> codephobic: how do you compromise your own system using sftp?
[14:14] <ihre> I've just installed a clean version of Ubuntu x64 12.04, and upgraded to 12.10 with sudo do-dist-upgrade -d, yet now I'm booting in a black screen. I cant open any vconsoles to check logs. How should I continue?
[14:14] <codephobic> usr13, that's the same error I got after restarting nfs-kernel
[14:14] <jacks> blazemore: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. What details in hardware? 500gb hd , radeon graphics card and 4gb ram.
[14:15] <usr13> codephobic: But you said you got an error from restarting nfs-kernel-server
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> ihre: -d will give you Saucy (13.10), not 12.10
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> ihre: did it say saucy whilst it upgraded?
[14:15] <usr13> codephobic: Again;  The /etc/fstab enrty goes in on the client PC, (not the server).
[14:15] <codephobic> ActionParsnip, I don't know ... but, I'm wary of setting up ftp on my system without understanding how to properly secure it.
[14:16] <ihre> Havent seen any references to saucy during the upgrade process, ActionParsnip
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> codephobic: its not ftp, its sftp
[14:16] <blazemore> ihre: Why did you do that, rather than just installing 12.10 straight away?
[14:16] <napsc> codephobic: sftp is ftp over ssh
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> ihre: if you boot to root recovery mode and login there, then run:  cat /etc/issue     what is output?
[14:16] <codephobic> usr13, the client is the VM right? I wrote the /etc/fstab on the vm
[14:16] <ihre> because of the alternate cd, I've put LVM ontop of raid 1, blazemore
[14:17] <BakaKuna> Euro: thnx, i'll try that
[14:17] <ihre> brb, ill check it ActionParsnip
[14:17] <codephobic> ActionParsnip, ah, well shows how much I know of it :(
[14:17] <dranix> hi
[14:17] <dranix> is anyone around??.. need a little help
[14:17] <blazemore> !ask | dranix
[14:18] <codephobic> ActionParsnip, I'll try that method next, just going to see if I've made some trivial mistake with the nfs that usr13 is helping me implement first.
[14:18] <dranix> i need help with ldap integration with packetfence
[14:18] <blazemore> dranix: #ubuntu-server will *almost certainly* be a better fit for that sort of question
[14:18] <dranix> thanks
[14:20] <ihre> ActionParsnip: cat /etc/issue > Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l
[14:21] <jacks> blazemore: I googled that but wasn't able to find solution. Ubuntu forums are also down
[14:21] <usr13> codephobic: Wait, I thought these were two separate PCs.  Are they on the same PC?
[14:21] <ElToro1966> Ideas, anybody? http://askubuntu.com/questions/323900/13-04-install-stops-after-splash-screen-have-tried-everything-to-get-it-to-wor
[14:21] <sin__tax> anyone know why ddrescue seems to have not put any data on the target drive even though the files seem to be there now? http://pastebin.com/est3DLwu
[14:22] <usr13> codephobic: You need to tell me where these two systems really are.
[14:22] <codephobic> usr13, same pc one is a virtual machine (virtualbox) ubuntu server and the host is ubuntu 13.04
[14:22] <codephobic> usr13, sorry thought I'd explained the setup earlier
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> ihre: ok, thats good, wht GPU do you use?
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> ihre: did you install any proprietary video drivers?
[14:23] <usr13> codephobic: Oh, I didn't know.  There is a whole different way of sharing files from a virtualbox client to it's host.
[14:23] <codephobic> I have a virtualbox VM (ubuntu 12.04 LTS server) that is running on this host
[14:23] <usr13> codephobic: I suppose nfs would work, but not the recommended method.
[14:24] <ihre> Im using the onboard gfx from a Gigabyte B75M-D3H incl. an i3-3220
[14:24] <ihre> ActionParsnip: I havent installed any proprietary drivers though
[14:24] <codephobic> usr13, ah... what would be the recommended way? I'll start again and undo the exports?
[14:25] <usr13> codephobic: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html
[14:25] <codephobic> thanks, will have a read of that... hopefully I can sort it out by following the instructions.
[14:25] <usr13> codephobic: nfs is for sharing across the network, (to the rest of your PCs on the LAN).  Follwo the above URL and read
[14:26] <codephobic> thanks for all the help, sorry if it was a bit confusing and muddled.
[14:26] <usr13> codephobic: "Shared folders"...
[14:26] <jacks> sudo pm-hibernate also flickers the screen
[14:27] <usr13> codephobic: ... not that "Guest Additions" must be installed for this.
[14:27] <codephobic> usr13, but my VM is on the LAN across a bridge and is accessible by all my other VMs and the other PCs on the LAN ... but yeah, I'll go read ... I think I need to think this through again.
[14:27] <codephobic> yep, got Guest Additions installed.
[14:28] <usr13> codephobic: It depends.  You can share with any or all PCs on the LAN, (linux ones), as I showed you with nfs as well, but if you want to share from guest to host, see the instructions in the URL I gave you.
[14:30] <usr13> codephobic: The nfs settings will work if you get the /etc/exports and /etc/fstab entries correct.
[14:30] <usr13> codephobic: ... but you have to use *full* path(s).
[14:31] <raub> How can I replace a given kernel module being used with a newer version? All that without rebooting?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ihre: are you intending to upgrade to Raring?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> ihre: any particular reason to not stay on Precise, its support far outstrips Quantal and Raring....
[14:33] <ihre> ActionParsnip: yes sir, im planning to upgrade to 13.04. Im installing the PC for a dev at work, they all use 13.04 apparently
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> ihre:raring is EOL in Jan 2014
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> raub  there's ksplice, i'm not sure you have to reboot after installing it itself
[14:34] <MidnightNinja> hey guys, does anyone know how to fix the brightness issue with an Nvidia 750m gpu?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[14:35] <usr13> codephobic: If you go further with nfs, read man nfs
[14:35] <ihre> ActionParsnip: I will let my devs know !
[14:35] <dennisn> how can I configure NetworkManager (or wpa_supplicant?) to set the variable ap_scan=1
[14:35] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip: Is that one command in terminal?
[14:36] <MidnightNinja> I'm still new to linux
[14:36] <dennisn> currently my syslog says "NetworkManager...<info> Config: set interface ap_scan to 2" ... how is this being set/configured?
[14:36] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[14:37] <kirkland> zip: grep crypt /proc/swaps
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: perfect
[14:37] <MidnightNinja> Thank you :)
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: does the system also have an Intel GPU? as in a laptop with a switchable GPU
[14:38] <MidnightNinja> Its an nvidia geforce gt750m sli
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display    do you see an Intel GPU too?
[14:38] <jacks> can anyone link me to screen flicker issue? I am having difficulty with that.
[14:39] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip: I only see two NVIDIA GPUs
[14:40] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip: If it helps, I'm also on the latest nvidia gpu drivers
[14:40] <CatKiller> Hi there! I've made the stupid mistake of installing Ubuntu desktop instead of server
[14:40] <CatKiller> and now I'm stuck with this god awful automatic network configuration
[14:41] <CatKiller> is there a way to completely disable this weird network configuration daemon whatever its name is
[14:41] <CatKiller> it completely disregards settings set in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:41] <CatKiller> and overwrites my config every 3-4 minutes
[14:41] <MonkeyDust> CatKiller  now the installation is still clean, why not simply replace it with a server installation? easier, faster, cleaner!
[14:42] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: This is a test server I'm only going to need for 5 minutesd
[14:42] <CatKiller> just want to verify something
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: what is the output of:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[14:42] <CatKiller> but I need to be able to hold a config for these 5 minutes :p
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: a URL will be generated
[14:42] <CatKiller> I find it amazing that on the desktop edition it's not possible to configure the network through the command line
[14:42] <CatKiller> it probably is
[14:43] <CatKiller> but googling for it only shows results explaining how to change /etc/network/interfaces
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> CatKiller  an old post, 10.04, hope it's useful http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/08/quickly-disable-network-manager-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[14:43] <CatKiller> thanks, I'll try that
[14:44] <CatKiller> I so much hate this tool
[14:44] <CatKiller> in fact even the graphical interface version of it too is useless
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> CatKiller  luckily, you didnt install windows by accident
[14:45] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: I'll say it here, I actually prefer the Windows network management, so bad it is, comparded to Ubuntu's NetworkManager and graphical tools
[14:45] <CatKiller> it's that bad for me
[14:46] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip:http://paste.ubuntu.com/5907803/
[14:46] <Steve^> Cats, Ninjas, Monkeys, Parsnips.. you guys all have funny names
[14:46] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: Thanks for the tip anyways, I tried and waiting to make sure it works
[14:47] <CatKiller> What's a "Steve"?
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> Steve Jobs
[14:48] <MonkeyDust> CatKiller  the network applet has the option to uncheck 'enable networking', maybe that's something of interest to you
[14:50] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: I had tried before and it didn't really change much
[14:50] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: The solution you gave me is perfect
[14:50] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: It reads configuration from /etc/network/interface first and does not override it
[14:50] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: The file location is slightly different but it's perfect
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: then how did you install the driver?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: I recommend you use the additional drivers app in the system settings
[14:51] <MidnightNinja> the nvidiabl driver?
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> CatKiller  hope it helps you liking ubuntu a bit more
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: it installs the driver for you
[14:51] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnop: I went to that page, and nothing showed up
[14:51] <CatKiller> MonkeyDust: I already love Ubuntu, just not the network manager ;p
[14:51] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip: I went to that page, and nothing showed up
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: or:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[14:52] <MidnightNinja> ActionParsnip: I downloaded them from the NVIDIA site, and manually ran it from a terminal
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> MidnightNinja: why, when there are packages for it, it will also auto update when the packages update, just like your applications
[14:55] <moza> hello, i have three parts on my extended partition : one is linux, one is swap (in the middle) and the rest is free. I want to merge the free into the linux part, is this possible?
[14:55] <MidnightNinja> ActionParnsip: That, I am unsure of.  I hadn't seen that command before--I'm running it now
[14:55] <MidnightNinja> Moza: you can with gparted
[14:55] <MidnightNinja> moza: just know its not worth it
[14:56] <moza> Why is it not worth it MidnightNinja ?
[14:56] <t0phux> Well, my 12.04 Server will not boot anymore.  Originally, I had problems because my /boot was full during a kernel update.  This made mismatched linux-image-server and linux-image-generic.  I rebooted into recovery and got the kernel stuff cleared up, and reinstalled grub for good measure.  Now when I try and boot I just stuck on the disk drive for /tmp is not ready, and can't get past this point.  When I try and skip it tells me it ca
[14:56] <t0phux> any advice?
[14:56] <MidnightNinja> moza: because theres a high chance of data corruption
[14:57] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Was just looking at your conversation with CatKiller, and wondering why just uninstalling network-manager is not a simplier option?
[14:57] <MidnightNinja> moza: if you really wanted to do it, I'd format the swap so it is also free, and extend the rest of the partition
[14:57] <CatKiller> usr13: It's somehow near impossible, and time consuming
[14:57] <blazemore> usr13: Doesn't uninstalling network-manager break ubuntu-desktop?
[14:57] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[14:57] <moza> ok MidnightNinja, i can do that. Should i do it from the live cd and not while running then?
[14:57] <CatKiller> usr13, It's the Internet Explorer of Ubuntu
[14:58] <MidnightNinja> moza: run gparted from a live usb
[14:58] <usr13> ActionParsnip: CatKiller blazemore I don't know how it could break ubuntu-desktop?? sudo apt-get urge network-manager*  ? I dono, just asking.
[14:58] <jhpy1024> Anyone know how much the Ubuntu Edge will cost if it gets funded and it's released?
[14:58] <ThePendulum> I have indirectly reinstalled the Ubuntu desktop (including, apparently, Compiz). This made the 'sticky windows' option disappear from the Compiz Config Settings Manager. I noticed it wasn't present in CCSM in Ubuntu 13.04 either. Does anyone know how to enable sticky windows without it?
[14:58] <CatKiller> usr13: I tried before and I remember there were some issues
[14:59] <CatKiller> usr13: MonkeyDust's solution is perfect
[14:59] <t0phux> Well, my 12.04 Server will not boot anymore.  Originally, I had problems because my /boot was full during a kernel update.  This made mismatched linux-image-server and linux-image-generic.  I rebooted into recovery and got the kernel stuff cleared up, and reinstalled grub for good measure.  Now when I try and boot I just stuck on the disk drive for /tmp is not ready, and can't get past this point.  When I try and skip it tells me it ca
[15:01] <moza> MidnightNinja, ok, but i'll have to create myself a liveusb first, and see if i have a big enough drive somewhere, thanks a lot for the advice :)
[15:01] <MidnightNinja> no problem
[15:01] <rawrmonster> If anyone is good at iptables can you please take a look at this pastebin http://pastebin.com/nZt7eZXM . I have just recently started learning about iptables but wanted to set up a linux router + firewall, but i dont want to have huge holes open.
[15:02] <usr13> CatKiller: I followed the URL and yea, looks simple enough, but I'm pretty sure that ubuntu-server does not have network-manager and that /etc/network/interfaces config file works independently of network-manager, needs no part of it and so uninstalling network-manager would have no effect, as far as I know. I've un-installed network-manager before and hat no problem.  Just wondering if things have changed.  I don't know.  Maybe I'll experiment with it and see
[15:02] <CatKiller> usr13: The server version doesn't have it indeed
[15:02] <CatKiller> usr13: I'll try next time alright
[15:03] <usr13> CatKiller: Yea, and I'm not really sury why I'd have software installed that is disabled and not used.
[15:03] <L3top> rawrmonster: just so you know your echo at the end is ech0
[15:03] <usr13> *not sure*  instead of sury
[15:03] <CatKiller> usr13: This is a test machine it doesn't matter. Also it is still used, it simply does not ignore an important file
[15:04] <usr13> "does not ignore an important file"?
[15:04] <rawrmonster> L3top: :D ty i must have miss typed it when i put it in paste bin was copying from my notepad lol
[15:04] <rawrmonster> L3top: does it look right tho?
[15:07] <L3top> rawrmonster: What is this supposed to be doing? iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i ! eth1 -j ACCEPT
[15:08] <rawrmonster> L3top: if its a new connection thats not from the interface eth1 to accept
[15:08] <blazemore> sync
[15:09] <L3top> Just making sure. I assume this is in case you have more than 2 nics. It doesn't look wrong to me... but it is not my area.
[15:09] <rawrmonster> L3top: because in my example eth1 is the internet while eth0 is the lan
[15:09] <L3top> rawrmonster: ^
[15:09] <rawrmonster> L3top: yes there is two nic's because you have to be able to have one connected to the modem while one is connected to a switch
[15:10] <L3top> Just making sure. I assume this is in case you have more than 2 nics.
[15:10] <L3top> eg 3+
[15:10] <rawrmonster> L3top: nope just 2 its for a small office
[15:10] <L3top> otherwise you should just specify eth0
[15:10] <L3top> because if there are three nics it will try and forward it
[15:10] <L3top> whatever "it" is
[15:11] <rawrmonster> ok
[15:11] <rawrmonster> :D i found a iptables irc ty for your help tho
[15:14] <checoimg> Hi guys I'm having trouble logging in to Ubuntu
[15:14] <rawrmonster> did you forget your password?
[15:14] <raub> checoimg: can you elaborate?
[15:14] <checoimg> rwarmonster : That's what you would think but no
[15:15] <holstein> checoimg: i would login via tty to confirm you know the password, and try as another user to see if its an issue with the session or your user config
[15:15] <checoimg> raub : Well I input the password and the screen flashes black and doesn't log , it just goes back to blank and ask for my password again
[15:16] <L3top> rawrmonster: I would let it detect and assign. For instance if a nic died, and another was installed, or for whatever reason udev is written oddly due to screwing around... it will not work.
[15:16] <L3top> rawrmonster: s/let it/write it to/
[15:16] <MonkeyDust> checoimg  can you change the DE and login? also: type ctrl-alt F1 and use df -h to make sure you don't have 100% full anywhere
[15:17] <rawrmonster> L3top: i can make a udev rule to force naming of the devices
[15:17] <L3top> rawrmonster: fair enough
[15:17] <checoimg> I only have Unity
[15:18] <BluesKaj> usr13, network manager setttings overwrite /etc/network/interfaces, NM has to be removed if you want to use the network inbterfaces settings
[15:18] <holstein> checoimg: try the guest session, if you dont want to make a new user.. i think you'll find the issue is in the user /home
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> checoimg  press ctrl-alt F1 and install a different DE, see if you can login into that one
[15:18] <raub> checoimg: you should also have console login (the ctrl-alt-f1 being mentioned)
[15:19] <t0phux> AB0448
[15:19] <checoimg> Let me try the Guest session. BRB
[15:19] <t0phux> Well, my 12.04 Server will not boot anymore.  Originally, I had problems because my /boot was full during a kernel update.  This made mismatched linux-image-server and linux-image-generic.  I rebooted into recovery and got the kernel stuff cleared up, and reinstalled grub for good measure.  Now when I try and boot I just stuck on the disk drive for /tmp is not ready, and can't get past this point.  When I try and skip it tells me it ca
[15:19] <checoimg> I will also check the ctrl alt f1
[15:19] <holstein> t0phux: you did what for "good measure"? and why? and how *exactly*
[15:21] <t0phux> holstein: I booted into recovery, mounted all my drives, chrooted, apt-get purge, reinstall, make-config, grub-update, grub-install
[15:22] <t0phux> I reinstalled because I was getting fr0 read error when booting up, I thought was a symptom, but turns out it was an irrelevent error relating to dell virtual drives through the DRAC
[15:22] <holstein> t0phux: i would search the exact error
[15:23] <t0phux> I've been through google without help, which is why I'm here
[15:23] <t0phux> The exact error is "The disk drive fo r/tmp is not ready yet or not present
[15:24] <holstein> t0phux: is it ready? or present?
[15:24] <raub> t0phux: do you need /tmp for now? If you have the memory I would set it as tmpfs in fstab and then see what else it is bitching about
[15:24] <t0phux> when skipping, I get "swapon: /dev/mapper/ldc278-swap_1: swapon failed: Device or resource busy

[15:35] <Lizards|Work> Michael____, wait for the forums to come back up and try logging in using your known passwords
[15:35] <DJones> Michael____: Maybe ask in #ubuntuforums they may be able to advise you there
[15:35] <k1l_> Michael____: no
[15:35] <holstein> Michael____: the hashed passwords were compromised.. not plain text
[15:35] <Michael____> It was hashed? ok, that's better
[15:35] <Michael____> What was the hash?
[15:35] <wilee-nilee> Michael____, You get the email from the forums?
[15:35] <holstein> Michael____: that is fact.. "better" is a matter of opinion
[15:36] <k1l_> Michael____: for more details see #ubuntuforums
[15:36] <raub> Michael____: it depends on the hash and how many bitcoin rigs are doing nothing right now ;)
[15:36] <Michael____> Yes, I got the email
[15:36] <Lizards|Work> inc rainbow table
[15:36] <raub> Lizards|Work: that too
[15:39] <checoimg> Ok I'm back I know my password and the guest session works
[15:39] <blazemore> Michael____: Your message implies the information was *released* is that the case?
[15:39] <checoimg> But networking is not working
[15:39] <holstein> checoimg: then, i would remove configs from the user /home, and test
[15:39] <Michael____> This ->"The Ubuntu forums software was compromised by an external attacker. As a result, the attacker has gained access to read your username, email address and an encrypted copy of your password from the forum database."
[15:40] <wilee-nilee> blazemore, #ubuntuforums is your info central on this.
[15:40] <Lizards|Work> that's still not publicly released, which would be worse
[15:40] <blazemore> wilee-nilee: I know the answer is no, that's what I was implying in the question
[15:40] <checoimg> But I;m using this very user with another kernel
[15:40] <checoimg> In the linux channel they told me kernel version has nothing to do with logging
[15:40] <wilee-nilee> blazemore, Why and it is offtopic.
[15:41] <raub> checoimg: elaborate. Are you using network manager or what?
[15:41] <tree49> hi frens i there is problem in booting from hdd in my laptop i m booting from pendrive and i can read videos of hdd ->does that mean hdd is fine and what should i do to completely format my hdd from pendrive it had windows and ubuntu
[15:42] <k1l_> checoimg: kernel does interfer with networking. so try the same kernel?
[15:42] <raub> tree49: what kind of problem? Grub issues?
[15:42] <checoimg> The default network manager that comes with Ubuntu
[15:42] <DeltaHeavy_> Hey, is there any information on when the forums will be back up?
[15:42] <checoimg> The only thing that i snot default is the kernel
[15:43] <tree49> i dont know it just does not boot at all
[15:43] <raub> k1l_: ian----wonder what his dmesg is saying.
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> DeltaHeavy  #ubuntuforums
[15:43] <DeltaHeavy> MonkeyDust: Thanks
[15:43]  * raub curses autocomplete
[15:43] <blazemore> tree49: What happens when you try to boot normally? When did it stop working?
[15:43] <CatKiller> hi there! Is the "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL" variable still in use by "make-kpkg" when building a new kernel?
[15:43] <raub> Where does it stop booting? Which step/screen?
[15:44] <CatKiller> it seems that it ignores it completely
[15:44] <awktion> ~_~;
[15:44] <CatKiller> I'm running Ubuntu 13.04
[15:45] <t0phux> raub: success, sorry was on the phone
[15:45] <CatKiller> nevermind, was running the make as root in a different shell
[15:45] <holstein> checoimg: you know its not the password, and you know its not the system, if you can boot into the guest account.. what to i propose it is? the session config in the users home
[15:46] <tree49> actually i compiled kernel in ubuntu and i found problem after rebooting graphic driver problem then i tried to boot windows it said repairing disk and didnt halt repairing for hours so i used pendrive  to boot i tried to install ubuntu but it does no proceed after checking power plug free spce internet
[15:46] <t0phux> raub: I got it to boot to the login screen after some waiting (disabled swap, and added tmpfs in fstab)  So what doe sthat mean?
[15:46] <holstein> checoimg: you can literally move all .config files out of your home temporarily, and test the login
[15:46] <blazemore> tree49: Are you on the LiveCD now?
[15:46] <raub> holstein: or tell /etc/passwd his homedir is /tmp :)
[15:46] <tree49> usb instaler
[15:47] <blazemore> tree49: But you are in a live environment?
[15:47] <holstein> raub: i'll let you take that over, if you want to direct checoimg that way
[15:47] <tree49> i m from bootable pendrive
[15:47] <k1l_> checoimg: again: if it works with the regular kernel its quite clear where the problem is
[15:48] <blazemore> tree49: You can follow these instructions, you won't have to reinstall your Ubuntu. Just don't try booting into your custom installed kernel, choose one of the default ones instead
[15:48] <raub> t0phux: you might want to check the partitions you disabled
[15:48] <blazemore> tree49: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/05/reinstall-recover-grub-from-ubuntu-12-04-live-cd-usb/
[15:48] <checoimg> Ok
[15:48] <checoimg> holstein : I'll try that later, Thank you :)
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> tree49: omgubuntu has one called: sticking it to grub
[15:52] <jacks> I keep on getting system has reported a problem message! Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[15:56] <basilalias> did any1 know how to install opencv 2.4.6 on ubuntu 12.04
[15:56] <awktion> anyway @ keythug_ got a link to a site that actually has DNS?
[15:57] <awktion> !opencv
[15:57] <hassan> How to search local drives in Dash in ubuntu 13.04
[15:57] <Lizards|Work> <IP_ADDRESS> is google's public DNS afaik
[15:57] <Nach0z> <IP_ADDRESS> is as well
[15:57] <Nach0z> one's on the east coast and one's on the west, don't remember which though
[15:57] <awktion> basilalias: try google, looks to be pretty simple.
[15:58] <hassan> How to search local drives in Dash in ubuntu 13.04
[15:58] <awktion> <IP_ADDRESS> has no entry nor does <IP_ADDRESS>

[16:04] <irreverant> What's the easiet way to format a 2gb drive in a ubuntu livecd with XFS?
[16:04] <Lizards|Work> man mkfs
[16:04] <cutie> irreverant: If you want to use a GUI, use gparted
[16:04] <irreverant> are you saying to look at the manual page for make filesystem?
[16:04] <Lizards|Work> correct
[16:05] <irreverant> cutie: so use gparted?
[16:05] <keythug_> wajù io è la prima volta con xchat come si scaricano i file ?
[16:05] <cutie> irreverant: If you want to use a GUI, use gparted
[16:05] <Lizards|Work> gparted works if you can install it
[16:05] <cutie> Lizards|Work: gparted is included on the livecd
[16:05] <Pici> !it | keythug_
[16:05] <cutie> Lizards|Work: it just isn't installed in a proper installation
[16:05] <keythug_> ok
[16:05] <irreverant> cutie: that's what I needed to know.
[16:05] <Lizards|Work> ah, i wasn't 100% on packages on the livecd but not in the install
[16:05] <keythug_>  /join #ubuntu-it
[16:06] <t0phux> I'm pretty sure gparted is on the live cd, no?
[16:06] <keythug_>  #ubuntu-it
[16:06] <wilee-nilee> yah sure you betcha t0phux
[16:07] <cutie> t0phux: You're correct, it is. However, it is removed during installation. This is probably because gparted is a useful tool for diagnostics and stuff, and that's often what people use a LiveCD for
[16:07] <Lizards|Work> but why not include it in the full installation then? it's a GUI for the people who don't want to roll up their sleeves and open the man page for mkfs
[16:07] <edju> I received an email from, according to the header, pesanta.canonical.com.  It says that because of the hack on the ubuntu forum,  I should change passwords at all sites on which I've registered my email address.   I need to format it in XFS before the damn thing will be recognized so that I can begin to build the array.
[16:08] <Lizards|Work> edju, everyone who registered at the ubuntu forums
[16:08] <irreverant> So what I'm thinking is throw it in as secondary SATA and boot from the Ubuntu Livecd; so then I can theoritically use gpart to format in XFS, correct?
[16:08] <rantic> A bit of a random question and kind of Ubuntu related ... does anyone know what wireless keyboard is featured in the Ubuntu Edge promo video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQLe3iIMN7k&feature=player_detailpage&t=80
[16:09] <wilee-nilee> rantic, #ubuntu-touch is edge central
[16:09] <irreverant> cute: So what I'm thinking is throw it in as secondary SATA and boot from the Ubuntu Livecd; so then I can theoritically use gpart to format in XFS, correct??
[16:09] <irreverant> cutie: anyone:??
[16:09] <edju> Lizards|Work, Ok, so it's not spam.  Problem is, I never registered at ubuntu forums.  I don't use ubuntu, never have.
[16:10] <wilee-nilee> I doubt anyone knows unless they recognizes it though
[16:10] <Lizards|Work> edju, somebody used your email address and registered somewhere then
[16:10] <irreverant> it's either i use ubuntu or knoppix.
[16:11] <PandinusImperato> There has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums.
[16:11] <PandinusImperato> interesting
[16:11] <DJones> PandinusImperato: We know, discussion in either #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntuforums
[16:11] <PandinusImperato> I'll join those now
[16:13] <irreverant> Does gpart come in the live cd definitevly?
[16:14] <xtrez> i have just installed ubuntu 13.04 and updated my system, i can't find gawk, yacc or bison,.
[16:14] <irreverant> I know i can use  mkfs.xfs but i’m sure of the syntax
[16:14] <raub> irreverant: it seems to be the case in this 13.04 desktop, which I am running as livecd
[16:15] <irreverant> i’m not sure of the syntax since it’s a raw drive
[16:15] <arash> hello , ubuntu doesn't seem to detect my graphics card ,even after updates
[16:15] <irreverant> does it have to be make.xfs //hda1 ?

[16:17] <xtrez> why can't i see byacc and flex in ubuntu software center but i can install it from terminal ?
[16:17] <joshu> All I'm trying to do is start xfreerdp from lightdm
[16:18] <xtrez> no one is helping :( :(
[16:19] <rantic> xtrez: What is your problem?
[16:20] <irreverant> mkfs.xfs /dev/sda1
[16:20] <irreverant> is this correct
[16:20] <Lizards|Work> xtrez, does apt-get use the same software repositories as ubuntu package managers?
[16:21] <Euro> And did you check the "show technical files" option?
[16:21] <xtrez> rantic, i can't find byacc, flex, gawk or bison in ubuntu software center but they can be downloaded from terminal using sudo apt-get install.
[16:21] <xtrez> Lizards|Work, how to check that ?
[16:22] <Lizards|Work> irreplaceable, looks accurate if /dev/sda1 is what you want formatted
[16:24] <irreverant> Lizard: well I assume that’s the hard drive that I will be formatting
[16:24] <honvai> how to add memory to a virtual memory card?
[16:24] <irreverant> is hd0 and sd0 the same thing? sd0 represent the harddisk drive correct?

[16:24] <Lizards|Work> hd0 would be pata, neh?

[16:27] <OerHeks> Lizards|Work, yes, apt-get and softwarecenter share the same sources. do not use them together, as you will get an error.
[16:27] <OerHeks> * one instance only
[16:29] <OerHeks> !nomodeset | hacksaw
[16:29] <irreverant> ok so sd0 is for SATA connections...
[16:29] <OerHeks> but ubuntuforums is down :-(
[16:29] <irreverant> so there is a distictions in identification for parallel vs sata...

[16:38] <LinXNut> Hello
[16:39] <luigi69> Hello.
[16:40] <luigi69> I have few questions about gnome-terminal colorscheme.
[16:40] <LinXNut> I think the person that hacked the site got my email because someone tried changing my password for Battle.net
[16:40] <LinXNut> 3 times lol
[16:40] <DeltaHeavy> Do any of Ubuntu's other services store any of my passwords as an MD5 hash? I want to know so I can withdraw from those services.
[16:40] <DeltaHeavy> LinXNut: You might want to know that the passwords were hashed in a way where anybody could easily crack them. They might as well have been stored in plain text.
[16:41] <DeltaHeavy> like…EASILY
[16:41] <luigi69> I open my gnome-terminal profile file (%gconf.xml) and I see colros stored like so: "#00002B2B3636" - ain't that too long? What is this format?
[16:41] <DeltaHeavy> It's somewhat VB's fault for using such out-dated tech.
[16:41] <OerHeks> hacksaw, maybe this page about gt 525 http://askubuntu.com/questions/132112/how-to-install-nvidia-geforce-gt525m-driver-on-ubuntu12-04 > when black screen appears, login with ctrl + alt + F2 , and install nvidia current
[16:41] <DeltaHeavy> luigi69: Format is #RRGGBB
[16:42] <LinXNut> I know I have changed my email passwords and everything personal now.
[16:42] <luigi69> So why are mine twisce as large, DeltaHeavy?
[16:42] <DeltaHeavy> I honestly think they should make it more well known exactly how vulnerable people's passwords are
[16:42] <hacksaw> OerHeks: OK, thank you, I'll try this :)
[16:43] <DeltaHeavy> luigi69: Not sure, perhaps they're using more bytes per colour?
