[08:49] <arun_> geirha: But a cultural / local language
[08:49] <geirha> arun_: I mean the programming language of the software
[08:50] <arun_> geirha: oh , its the py
[08:50] <geirha> arun_: Or are you asking how to translate this application into your (written) language
[08:51] <arun_> geirha: yaa, I am wanting to translate the software, not the codes , I have the po file of it in US, but needs to have in other language
[08:51] <geirha> arun_: If so, I'd head on over to #ubuntu-translators
[08:51] <systemfish> so, ubnutu gais. Can I put a script or something somewhere, that'll execute before I login? I need to install a ssh daemon but have no access to a keyboard
[08:52] <systemfish> the keyboard isn't working I mean.. only in recovery mode. But when I boot into ubuntu, it connects to the network but kills the keyboard and mouse
[08:52] <scarleo> Hi, I select 64-bit and click on Ubuntu 13.10 button on ubuntu.com I get a file called: ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso ?
[08:53] <scarleo> Can I trust it's the right version, 13.10 x64?
[08:53] <geirha> scarleo: that's probably not 13.10 64-bit
[08:54] <scarleo> I'd say it's rather strange. Could someone tets if they have the same problem?
[08:54] <scarleo> test*
[08:55] <wilee-nilee> scarleo, try http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[08:55] <bekks> scarleo: Testing it will not give you a 64bit iso ;) you can get the 64bit iso directly from cdimages.ubuntu.com
[08:55] <wilee-nilee> old complaint basically
[08:56] <geirha> scarleo: Just did, I got the 13.10 64-bit iso when I clicked the Ubuntu 13.10 button
[08:56] <scarleo> wilee-nilee, Ok? So it's a known problem?
[08:57] <scarleo> bekks, Iknwo, just wanted to report it if it wasn't just me, but it seems it's just me
[08:57] <wilee-nilee> scarleo, I think it has to do with allowing cookies and flash, just a guess though.
[08:57] <scarleo> ok, thanks guys
[09:02] <krz> how can distrowatch report linuxmint as the #1 distro, when their irc freenode channel is half full??
[09:03] <deego> krz: because people who gravitate to things like mint aren't really irc-literate :)
[09:03] <deego> s/aren't/less so..
[09:03] <deego> on average.
[09:03] <bekks> krz: distrowatch reports how many clicks a link got on the distrowatch webiste. Nothing more, nothing less. Basically totally useless and offtopic.
[09:04] <hitsujiTMO> deego: s/irc//
[09:04] <hitsujiTMO> deego: s/irc-// sorry
[09:04] <deego> LOL
[09:04] <krz> the thing i like about unity/ubuntu compared to other distros. is the space manement in the desktop. i love how unity has a kind of "global" taskbar
[09:05] <krz> the other dm's in other distros consume too much whitespace
[09:05] <Myrtti> also their official channel isn't on this network iirc
[09:05] <deego> It's a sliding scale. Ubuntu isn't that exempt either. #Debian has as many irc members, though debian is nowhere near ubuntu on distrowatch (right?)
[09:05] <deego> as many as #ubuntu..
[09:05] <systemfish> booted up in recovery mode. Can I "get into my normal environment" so that my wifi settings can kick up?
[09:06] <krz> are the packages in 12.04.3 LTS updated? how can i see what packages/versions?
[09:06] <deego> Don't get me wrong. I use mint. My wife does. My dad does. Nothing wrong with mint or ubuntu. But, none of them  are irc-ers :)
[09:06] <bekks> krz: 12.04 receives updates for 5 years.
[09:06] <bekks> krz: you can see the versions using dpkg -l e.g.
[09:07] <krz> im on 13.04
[09:07] <systemfish> there's no sshd installed by default, is there?
[09:07] <deego> systemfish: no
[09:07] <iceroot_> krz: packages.ubuntu.com
[09:07] <bekks> krz: you asked about 12.04. And 13.04 will receive updates for 9 months.
[09:07] <iceroot_> systemfish: no, not on the desktop
[09:07] <krz> are you guys on LTS/
[09:07] <krz> ?
[09:07] <hitsujiTMO> krz: apt-cache show packagename will give you info for a specific package. generally a LTS will receive security updates, but not upgrades to later releases of the software
[09:08] <bekks> krz: Depends on the box.
[09:08] <systemfish> if I start ubnutu recovery mode with network, can I get a tty somehow?
[09:08] <cristian_c> Hi
[09:08] <cristian_c> I've installed bustle
[09:08] <cristian_c> After I've launched it, I've got this message: 'No diagram loaded' 'Having saved the output of bustle-dbus-monitor' to a file , open that file to see a sequence diagram of D-Bus activity.'
[09:08] <iceroot_> systemfish: ctrl + alt +f2 should work
[09:08] <hitsujiTMO> krz: i prefer lts for servers, but in general i'm on 13.10 for desktop use
[09:09] <cristian_c> How I solve this?
[09:09] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: no
[09:09] <systemfish> iceroot_: I get nothing then.. just a blank screen with a blinking _ in the left top
[09:09] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[09:09] <krz> hitsujiTMO: you come across any bugs in 13.10?
[09:09] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: what are you trying to do?
[09:09] <hitsujiTMO> krz: plenty. i've 2 reported atm
[09:10] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: install a kernel module.. without it, my keyboard and mouse won't respond as quick as the login screen pops up
[09:10] <krz> hitsujiTMO: worth upgrading now, or waiting?
[09:10] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: you can install that from recovery just fine.
[09:10] <hitsujiTMO> krz: depends on your needs
[09:11] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: I need internet connection plus a tty to do that
[09:11] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: I don't have a live cd
[09:12] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: when I start recovery mode with network access, I don't get a command line
[09:12] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: is this on a fresh install?
[09:12] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: upgraded to 13.04
[09:12] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: have you tried booting an older kernel?
[09:12] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: kernel-image-extra is missing I suppose, according to some bug reports
[09:12] <systemfish> yes
[09:12] <systemfish> didn't work
[09:13] <systemfish> but perhaps I can boot an older kernel in recovery mode + network.. will try
[09:13] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: have you tried booting an older kernel with text option?
[09:13] <krz> hitsujiTMO: was it worth the upgrade for you?
[09:13] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: text option?
[09:14] <hitsujiTMO> krz: yes, i got improved touchscreen support
[09:15] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: before booting the older kernel, hit e to edit the grub options, add text after: quiet splash
[09:15] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: then hit f10 to boot with those options
[09:15] <jason2> hello
[09:16] <systemfish> what will that do hitsujiTMO?
[09:16] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: boots to cli only
[09:16] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: I can get a root tty, but with no network access
[09:16] <systemfish> also, apt-get don't seem to work when I do that (although I don't have network access)
[09:16] <systemfish> something about lock...
[09:17] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: if the issue is happening on both a new and old kernel, then i suspect it has nothing to do with kernel modules btw
[09:17] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: just try and boot with text first, if that helps then your part of the way there
[09:17] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: I don't have kernel-extras installed/loaded (I checked). I need those
[09:17] <systemfish> ok
[09:18] <systemfish> where am I suppose to add quiet splash?
[09:18] <lucido> I'm getting blank screen(unsupported resolution) and weird RADEON lines in my Xorg.0.log  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386800/ when I have an nvidia card. I run a custom xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386803/ which has worked before upgrading 13.04 to 13.10 Can someone please look at my xorg log and give me some pointers?
[09:18] <systemfish> oh.. nvm lol
[09:18] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: add 'text' after 'quiet aplash'
[09:19] <HaveFantasy> !fuckmywife
[09:19] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: and do that for the old kernel, no the current
[09:19] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: for the old kernel, or old kernel (recovery mode) ?
[09:19] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: old kernel
[09:20] <MarkDavis> Hi
[09:20] <MarkDavis> How can I uninstall a package I've installed from a deb file?
[09:21] <hitsujiTMO> lucido: can you pastebin the output of: lspci
[09:22] <lucido> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386822/
[09:22] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: awesome! So.. that cause unity not to start, but only a command line instead?
[09:22] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: a deb will have a packagename. you can remove it with apt-get remove packagename. what deb was it?
[09:22] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: yessum
[09:22] <systemfish> what does cli-mode mean hitsujiTMO?
[09:22] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: command line interface
[09:23] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: is this temporary, or was that saved in the grub thing?
[09:23] <hitsujiTMO> lucido: just so you know, you have an ati card, not an nvidia card
[09:23] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: with Brother driver. I still have problems with my printer, I installed drivers from the Ubuntu repository, then from Brother's page, but it neither one nor second worked.
[09:24] <greyhatpython> hi after pressing ctrl + H to hide and unhide. The folder is automatically unhiding itself when i open file manager. how to solve this?
[09:24] <lucido> hitsujiTMO, damn, I was on the wrong console, let me regenerate the pastebins
[09:25] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: can you pastebin the output of: dpkg --get-selections
[09:25] <wilee-nilee> greyhatpython, to hide the folder has a period at the beginning, what is the folder and what is it you actually want?
[09:25] <MarkDavis> I'm sure that it's possible to install this printer here because I have already did it once. I don't know why it doesn't want to work this time.
[09:26] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: have you installed it with an older version of ubuntu or the same version?
[09:26] <sl1ck> I've got Nvidia 240 GTS 1gb - how do I enable the 'eyecandy' ?
[09:26] <MarkDavis> No, with the same.
[09:26] <bekks> !nvidia | sl1ck
[09:26] <MarkDavis> And the system detects the printer. It just doesn't print.
[09:26] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: usb or network printer?
[09:27] <MarkDavis> USB.
[09:27] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: can you pastebin the output of: lsusb
[09:27] <greyhatpython> wilee-nilee i know to hide folder to add period in folder name. But my problem is when i open file manager the .period folders are displaying automatically.
[09:27] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: it has many lines. Should I paste it here?
[09:27] <lucido> Ok, with the correct info this time: I'm getting blank screen(unsupported resolution). Here's my Xorg.0.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386837/ I run a custom xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386833/ which has worked before upgrading 13.04 to 13.10 Can someone please look at my xorg log and give me some pointers?
[09:28] <bekks> !paste | MarkDavis
[09:28] <wilee-nilee> greyhatpython, I had this problem in 13.04 or 13.10 no matter what I did in dconf etc, I just did a reinstall.
[09:28] <greyhatpython> I am using 13.10
[09:28] <sl1ck> bekks: so after driver installation eyecandy is automatically enabled?
[09:28] <greyhatpython> re-install for a small problem?
[09:28] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: use paste.ubuntu.com
[09:29] <bekks> sl1ck: define "eyecandy" first :)
[09:29] <wilee-nilee> greyhatpython, seems strange but I could not figure it out myself, I'm not saying you should.
[09:29] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: OK, just a moment.
[09:29] <greyhatpython> ya there should some other around for this to solve.
[09:29] <sl1ck> bekks: right, the windows 7 aero-like desktop :)
[09:29] <greyhatpython> *way
[09:30] <bekks> sl1ck: Linux doesnt support Aero ;)
[09:30] <johndude> does --> find <path> -daystart -ctime 0 -print correctly tell find to find files created today(ins. of 24 hrs. ago)?
[09:30] <sl1ck> bekks: which is why I added "-like" to the Aero bit ;)
[09:31] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386855/
[09:31] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:31] <bekks> sl1ck: Using the proprietary nvidia driver will give you the chance to enable a lot more of effects, and you will notice your desktop is somehow "faster" than using the nouveau driver.
[09:33] <sl1ck> bekks: how would I go about enabling the said effects, compiz?
[09:34] <systemfish> thank you hitsujiTMO a lot, it works now (xorg mouse and keybord stuff was missing)
[09:34] <hitsujiTMO> !yay | systemfish
[09:34] <systemfish> :)
[09:35] <calmtits> Hello room, I've been trying to make the Ubuntu 13.10 installation recognize my Windows 8.1 partition but my entire disk shows up as unallocated. Gdisk shows only a 250 GB free space and no errors. UEFI btw. Can someone help?
[09:36] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l
[09:36] <calmtits> oh wait gonna log back to the live USB stick
[09:36] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: can you tell me the output of: uname -r
[09:37] <MarkDavis> 3.2.0-55-generic-pae
[09:37] <Ben64> hitsujiTMO: the problem is going to be what the problem always is in that circumstance -- ubuntu doesn't like windows' gpt
[09:37] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: so this is 12.04 lts ?
[09:37] <MarkDavis> exactly
[09:38] <hitsujiTMO> ben64: i've a feeling that its a mbr install on top of a gpt partition table :P
[09:38] <calmtits> alright I'm in, can you tell me the command again?
[09:39] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: have you tried installing brother-lpr-drivers-extra ?
[09:39] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l
[09:40] <lucido> what's xmir?
[09:40] <calmtits> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386895/
[09:40] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: no, I haven't.
[09:40] <gefangshuai> ddd
[09:40] <gefangshuai> 我不知道怎么用啊
[09:40] <johndude> for using this command : find /path/to/dir -name "*<string>*" -->how do i build a string like "20131109" to include todays date in place of *<string>*
[09:41] <hitsujiTMO> ben64: i was wrong :(
[09:41] <gefangshuai> 什么wrong？
[09:41] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: lsblk
[09:42] <gefangshuai> lsblk
[09:42] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: and I've just noticed that something strange is going on because I can't log in as root when I am in a terminal but I can do it in window applications.
[09:42] <gefangshuai> --help
[09:42] <calmtits> there you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386913/  sdb being my usb stick
[09:43] <hitsujiTMO> !cn | gefangshuai
[09:43] <calmtits> thing is, when I first bought this PC I tried to install Ubuntu with the way I used to and I think I did something very wrong
[09:43] <bingo> hello. the firewall is set to simply allow out deny in, should i add any rules?
[09:44] <bekks> bingo: That depends on your requirements.
[09:44] <calmtits> because when I try to choose a booting device there's always an "Ubuntu" option, even if I don't have Ubuntu anywhere
[09:44] <bingo> bekks, i just browse and stuff, thats it really
[09:45] <bekks> bingo: Then you dont need additional rules, basically.
[09:45] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: what exactly do you mean can't log in as root?
[09:45] <bingo> but if i wanted to say, make a program outbound only. i could do that?
[09:45] <bekks> !root | MarkDavis
[09:45] <johndude> for using this command : find /path/to/dir -name "*<string>*" -->how do i build a string like "20131109" to include todays date in place of *<string>*
[09:46] <bekks> bingo: thats the default.
[09:46] <bingo> bekks, ty
[09:47] <wilee-nilee> calmtits, Are you aware you have a gpt must be uefi computer?
[09:47] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: can you pastebin the output of: gdisk -l /dev/sda
[09:47] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: there is a terminal application offered by Ubuntu. So I tried to log in as root with su. And it doesn't work. But when I enter the same password when a window application requests it then it works.
[09:47] <calmtits> wilee-nilee: yes, wasn't back when I did the forementioned but I deliberately converted to UEFI yesterday
[09:48] <Ben64> !root | MarkDavis
[09:48] <wilee-nilee> calmtits, cool.
[09:48] <MarkDavis> Ben64: Strange, because the last time it worked.
[09:48] <calmtits> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386944/
[09:49] <calmtits> if I had to guess I'd say that the leftovers of my goof back when I bought the PC this summer are torturing me
[09:49] <Novastorm> johndude: find /path/to/dir -name "*$(date +%Y%m%d)*"
[09:50] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: the windows has the wrong partition id. thats why it can't be seen
[09:51] <calmtits> Gparted also has a warning for /dev/sda3
[09:51] <calmtits> "unable to detect file system"
[09:51] <calmtits> the msftres one
[09:52] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: no wait, i'm wrong. 0700 is correct
[09:53] <Jordan_U> calmtits: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[09:53] <calmtits> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386952/
[09:53] <lovelyrandomness> hello hitsujiTMO
[09:53] <krz> what would be your second best linux preference?
[09:53] <krz> distro*
[09:54] <hitsujiTMO> hello lovelyrandomness
[09:54] <Jordan_U> calmtits: Can you post a screenshot of Ubuntu's installer showing the drive as being unnallocated?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | calmtits
[09:55] <calmtits> woot
[09:55] <calmtits> wait
[09:56] <calmtits> good call
[09:56] <calmtits> it stopped being unallocated http://imagebin.org/276302
[09:56] <Jordan_U> :)
[09:57] <calmtits> but the installer doesn't allow to install alongside Ubuntu
[09:57] <calmtits> can I still do it manually?
[09:57] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: i'm still stuck, the vaio looks really good as deco on the table though :)
[09:58] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: hehe. i reread that link you gave and that's certainly not the issue. well not for that exact problem
[09:58] <lovelyrandomness> i redid my writeup: http://askubuntu.com/questions/372970/13-10-doesnt-boot-on-vaio-pro-13 i had it set to legacy mode, after the UEFI installation
[09:58] <calmtits> those are the choices I get http://imagebin.org/276303
[09:59] <D4rkness> if all fails use another computer to burn ubuntu to a disk or usb and boot from it from the bios you will be back on your feet
[09:59] <D4rkness> in efernce to randomness
[09:59] <D4rkness> as for calm what are you trying to do?
[09:59] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: another user mentioned to drop the LVM and just install in legacy and it would work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2186715
[10:00] <calmtits> install Ubuntu 13.10
[10:00] <lovelyrandomness> maybe that's the best and fastest solution, right?
[10:00] <D4rkness> calm do you have a usb with at least 2gb?
[10:00] <lovelyrandomness> although i seem to be so close, if this /cow error didn't appear and i could do "sudo update-grub"
[10:01] <calmtits> you mean besides the live usb stick I am currently booting from?
[10:01] <calmtits> no
[10:01] <D4rkness> the live stick your booting from has the installer correct?
[10:01] <calmtits> the usb I boot from atm is 4gb and used lili usb creator to make it
[10:01] <calmtits> yes
[10:02] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: can you boot the live cd again. I don't think the the lvm/encryption is your problem since its not even trying to boot grub
[10:02] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: So I've installed these extra drivers but it doesn't seem like it worked.
[10:02] <D4rkness> reboot and proceed to install are your partitions set?
[10:02] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: sure, hang on. thanks for helping, again, really!
[10:03] <calmtits> the Ubuntu installer doesn't give me an "install alongside Ubuntu" option now, first it showed the disk as unallocated
[10:03] <calmtits> I formatted, converted to GPT and installed Windows 8 in UEFI
[10:03] <D4rkness> oh you have to select the disk and erase it
[10:03] <D4rkness> it will take a long time if its alot of space
[10:03] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: have you seen my latest boot repair log? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386598/ i tried boot repair with the efi rename, don't know if i did something bad
[10:04] <calmtits> and now I'm trying to dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.10 in UEFI
[10:04] <D4rkness> windows 8 isnt on the partition your going to erase is it?
[10:04] <bekks> D4rkness: For installing along windows, thats a fatal approach.
[10:04] <bekks> D4rkness: He is trying install a dualboot actually.
[10:04] <Jordan_U> lovelyrandomness: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:04] <calmtits> there's already 250gb free to install Ubuntu
[10:05] <calmtits> and I'm trying to dual boot
[10:05] <D4rkness> aah
[10:05] <calmtits> but I get no such option and I'm not sure if I should do it manually
[10:05] <lovelyrandomness> Jordan_U: the partition is encrypted would that still work
[10:05] <D4rkness> well if his partition is showing as unallocated then i thing his windows 8 is beyond repair
[10:05] <D4rkness> assuming their on the same partition
[10:06] <calmtits> it doesn't show up as unallocated after formatting or rebooting or something I did with all the googling
[10:06] <calmtits> lol
[10:06] <bekks> D4rkness: Please look at his paste before assuming those wrong things,
[10:06] <Jordan_U> lovelyrandomness: Yes, as the only partitions grub-install needs are your boot partition and EFI System Partition, neither of which are encrypted.
[10:06] <D4rkness> didnt see his paste hold on
[10:06] <bekks> D4rkness: He has a working windows 8, he has enough free space - just the "install alongside windows" option is missing.
[10:07] <bekks> D4rkness: http://imagebin.org/276302
[10:07] <calmtits> is the gparted warning normal?
[10:07] <bekks> calmtits: gparted cant deal with GPT labeled disks, yes.
[10:07] <calmtits> ok
[10:08] <lovelyrandomness> Jordan_U hitsujiTMO ok, i'm in now and will do what Jordan_U told me..
[10:08] <Jordan_U> calmtits: bekks: GParted handles GPT labeled disks just fine. What warning are you seeing?
[10:09] <sl1ck> how do I check whether my system supports S3 Standby/sleep mode?
[10:09] <bekks> Jordan_U: oh, you are right. fdisk doesnt handle GPT correctly, as can be seen in his paste here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6386895/
[10:09] <calmtits> Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/276304
[10:09] <hitsujiTMO> bekks: gdisk -l /dev/sdX
[10:09] <D4rkness> calm
[10:09] <D4rkness> your windows 8 is on sda4 correct?
[10:10] <calmtits> yes
[10:10] <lovelyrandomness> lovelyvaio: lovelyrandomness: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:10] <Jordan_U> calmtits: That error is not normal. Do you know what is supposed to be on sda3?
[10:10] <D4rkness> ok then this will be quite painless
[10:11] <D4rkness> select your freespace
[10:11] <D4rkness> and inistall there
[10:11] <D4rkness> your windows 8 wont be touched
[10:11] <bekks> D4rkness: It wont. He is using GPT and not MBR. GPT doesnt have the limit of four primary partitions.
[10:11] <calmtits> Jordan_U: sda3 was made after yesterday's format
[10:11] <Jordan_U> calmtits: How did you "make" it?
[10:11] <lovelyvaio> Jordan_U hitsujiTMO: mount: mount point /mnt/boot/efi/ does not exist
[10:11] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: that might need to be sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt//efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:12] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: that might need to be sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:12] <calmtits> I tried to convert my Windows 8 installation in UEFI
[10:12] <calmtits> formatted the whole drive
[10:12] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: second one
[10:12] <calmtits> made a bootable UEFI usb with Windows 8
[10:12] <calmtits> enabled "Windows 8" and "UEFI only" on the motherboard setup
[10:12] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted or /mnt/ busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda2 is already mounted on /mnt
[10:12] <calmtits> and just installed it
[10:13] <lovelyrandomness> ya, did th escond one
[10:14] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: move onto: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:14] <D4rkness> bekks: so he has too many partitions written and doesnt want to risk killing windows
[10:14] <silidan> hi, i have several applications and also files and folders in the file manager without an icon to it in ubuntu 13.10 unity
[10:14] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: source_dir doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory
[10:15] <bekks> D4rkness: The first part is not true, as I explained to you already.
[10:15] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: should i do a quick reinstall?
[10:15] <calmtits> Jordan_U: btw formatting and reinstalling everything isn't really a problem , what's important for me is to have both operating systems work
[10:16] <Jordan_U> lovelyrandomness: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64
[10:16] <calmtits> but as I mentioned before, I get a "weird" Ubuntu option during boot time in the "choose a device to boot" option
[10:16] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: a reinstall will prob just bring you back here. might be worth a try
[10:16] <calmtits> even if I don't have anything Ubuntu related on hdd or anywhere
[10:16] <silidan> hi, i have several applications and also files and folders in the file manager without an icon to it in ubuntu 13.10 unity, how can i solve that problem?
[10:17] <lovelyvaio> Jordan_U: done
[10:17] <Jordan_U> lovelyvaio: Did grub-install say that it was successful?
[10:17] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio:  againL sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:18] <Jordan_U> lovelyvaio: Sorry, I'm very tired at the moment. As hitsujiTMO said, you need to run grub-install again as you now have the needed packages.
[10:19] <lovelyrandomness> thanks, Jordan_U!
[10:19] <Nothing_Much> I'm having problems with my armhf Ubuntu install
[10:19] <Nothing_Much> I can't figure out what's wrong with my sources.list!
[10:19] <iceroot_> Nothing_Much: #ubuntu-arm
[10:19] <lovelyvaio> and yes it was successfull
[10:19] <Nothing_Much> iceroot_: It's not really about armhf, it's just that my sources.list keeps screwing up
[10:20] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio:  actually can you try: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu_13.10
[10:20] <D4rkness> speaking from experience i had windows 8 installed first too on my second laptop then when i installed linux on both i selected the something else option then cleared a partition that wasnt my windows 8 drive and proceeded to install linux and i still have the option in my boot list
[10:20] <calmtits> aha
[10:20] <D4rkness> not saying it will be the same for him but this was how it went for me
[10:20] <Nothing_Much> Can somebody tell me where the hell the release file is?
[10:20] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: hang on, it's doing sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ --target=x86_64-efi
[10:21] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: just do the second one i posted after
[10:21] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: once thats done can you pastebin the output of: efibootmgr
[10:21] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: finished, ok will do
[10:22] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: sorry that should be: sudo efibootmgr
[10:22] <calmtits> should I just try to erase that "warning" partition and try to see if I can install Ubuntu then?
[10:22] <ur0pl> for xubuntu
[10:22] <ur0pl> [02:20:36] <ur0pl> hi
[10:22] <ur0pl> [02:20:41] <ur0pl> i don't see the top toolbar
[10:22] <ur0pl> [02:20:44] <ur0pl> how do i get it again?
[10:22] <ur0pl> [02:21:02] <ur0pl> i tried restart lightdm , but that didn't fix it
[10:22] <FloodBot1> ur0pl: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:22] <hitsujiTMO> calmtits: that warning part is windows BCD ... leave it
[10:23] <Nothing_Much> My sources.list keeps screwing up on me and I can't figure out how to get rid of an "expected entry"
[10:23] <D4rkness> ur0pl what version of linux are you running
[10:23] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387057/
[10:24] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: sweet. try restarting and booting the ssd.
[10:24] <lovelyvaio> ok
[10:25] <calmtits> should I just follow the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI and stop worrying that the installer doesn't give me the install alongside option?
[10:25] <D4rkness> thats what i did
[10:25] <D4rkness> turned out fine for me
[10:26] <D4rkness> just dont do it on the partition thats holding windows and you'll be fine
[10:26] <D4rkness> during the installation you will see it say "detecting other operating systems"
[10:26] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: it fails to boot, i get the vaio screen that offers me to enter the bios/uefi
[10:27] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: not even a grub menu at all?
[10:27] <lovelyrandomness> guess because it looks for that microsoft  uefi only
[10:27] <lovelyrandomness> no
[10:27] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: disable secure boot in the bios
[10:27] <D4rkness> im sure its looking for the windows 8 image so it can add it to the list of start up OS's
[10:27] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: i have
[10:28] <lovelyrandomness> always, did that the first time after i entered the bios
[10:28] <D4rkness> because right after the install i say ubuntu first on the list then windows 8 on the very bottom
[10:28] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: turn back on secure boot and boot the live cd
[10:28] <calmtits> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_partition Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically)
[10:28] <D4rkness> they should both be on the grub menu that will pop up
[10:28] <calmtits> should I just create a /boot then?
[10:28] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: 13.10 has a shim that allows booting with secureboot enabled
[10:29] <lovelyrandomness> ok, booting...
[10:30] <D4rkness> calmtits it is an efi partition so if what their saying is accurate it will auto dectect it
[10:30] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: might as well try that reinstall so, but first, gonna clear out the boot manager
[10:30] <Benkinooby> hi, can the ubuntu 12.04.3 desktop i 386 iso image (741MB) be burnt to a CD?
[10:30] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: ok
[10:30] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: i'm in
[10:31] <hitsujiTMO> open the console again. pastebin the output of: lsblk
[10:31] <Nothing_Much> oh ffs
[10:31] <calmtits> if you use the manual partitioning ("Something else"), the difference is that you will have to set the /boot/efi mount point to the EFI partition.
[10:31] <Nothing_Much> I can't figure out this sources.list thing!
[10:31] <bekks> Benkinooby: If you have an empty 750/800MB cdrom medium, yes.
[10:31] <calmtits> so I create a /boot pointing to /dev/sda2 in my case?
[10:32] <calmtits> or just use /dev/sda2 and assign a mount point to /boot?
[10:32] <Nothing_Much> I'm on armhf and it keeps spewing out needs for main/binary-x86/Packages!
[10:32] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: and can you pastebin the output of: sudo efibootmgr
[10:32] <bekks> calmtits: Thats not sufficient for UEFI.
[10:32] <bekks> calmtits: you need that /boot/efi mountpoint
[10:32] <calmtits> I'm following the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[10:32] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387096/
[10:33] <yeyeman> what is .odp?
[10:33] <Benkinooby> bekks: there are CDs with differnt size
[10:33] <Benkinooby> ?
[10:33] <Jordan_U> yeyeman: Open Document Presentation
[10:33] <calmtits> and it says "Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically)"
[10:33] <calmtits> so I'm not sure what I must do manually, just /boot or what
[10:33] <Benkinooby> bekks: i only have 700MB CDs - some mention 80 minutes. i don't knwo how accurate those specs are
[10:34] <Nothing_Much> I'm on armhf and it keeps spewing out needs for main/binary-x86/Packages!
[10:34] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: can you pastebin: sudo ebibootmgr
[10:34] <Jordan_U> !mini | Benkinooby
[10:34] <calmtits> one part says "you must do /boot/efi pointing to the EFI partition" the other "no need to set this manually"
[10:34] <D4rkness> what computer do you have calmtits
[10:34] <calmtits> as in specs or mobo?
[10:34] <Benkinooby> Jordan_U: thanks i know that. i was just curious, since i never saw CDs that say 750 or 800 MB
[10:34] <calmtits> I'm on a desktop PC atm
[10:34] <D4rkness> the computer model and the bios name
[10:34] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: sorry that should be: sudo efibootmgr
[10:35] <calmtits> I bought parts seperately
[10:35] <Nothing_Much> Guys, I seriously can't figure this out, I'm close to raging, I need some assistence asap.
[10:35] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: command not found :/
[10:35] <D4rkness> hmmm alright what bios came preinstalled on your hard drive?
[10:36] <Nothing_Much> My sources.list is beyond repair and it keeps asking me for binary-x86 stuff, I'm on an armhf computer
[10:36] <calmtits> bios? need to reboot to see that but the mobo is Gigabyte
[10:36] <D4rkness> or motherboard lol
[10:36] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: for? (notice my spelling mistake earlier): sudo efibootmgr
[10:36] <calmtits> GA-B75M-D3H
[10:36] <D4rkness> ok wait
[10:36] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: would a full reinstall, where i let ubuntu wipe the complete ssd and install using legacy mode, encrypted, w/o LVM work?
[10:36] <lovelyrandomness> yes, i tried sudo efibootmgr
[10:37] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: trying that now. just want to clear the boot manager first
[10:37] <lovelyrandomness> won't that get cleared if ubuntu wipes again?
[10:37] <calmtits> thanks for that D4rkness, most people I see stopped bothering with me :/
[10:37] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: sudo apt-get install efibootmgr
[10:38] <D4rkness> ok i dont know what makes your computer from any other you shouldnt even need a efi to install 13.10
[10:38] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: no, its not stored on the ssd
[10:38] <Nothing_Much> My sources.list is beyond repair and it keeps asking me for binary-x86 stuff, the official repository keeps redirecting to the wrong ports for x86 packages
[10:38] <D4rkness> different*
[10:38] <Benkinooby> Nothing_Much: dude, if no one is answering then there is no one who can or wants to help you. repeating your question does not help either. neither does "OMFG! I needz da help asap !!1!"
[10:38] <calmtits> D4rkness: it's cause I installed Windows 8 with efi
[10:38] <Nothing_Much> Benkinooby: Oh, this isn't a support channel? Pardon me then. :/
[10:38] <D4rkness> oooooooh that simplifies things
[10:39] <lovelyvaio> hitsujiTMO: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387116/
[10:39] <D4rkness> then yes you will need to install ubuntu the same way
[10:39] <D4rkness> and have the same version of efi
[10:39] <D4rkness> that you used on 8
[10:39] <Benkinooby> Nothing_Much: it is a support channel. but only if people who are able to help you are around and if those said people have time for you
[10:39] <D4rkness> not the same exact file but the same exact version
[10:40] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: and i read on the docs to boot repair, that i could later on convert from legacy to UEFI
[10:40] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387122/
[10:40] <jiwan> i can't update my linux
[10:40] <jiwan> why
[10:40] <jiwan> ??
[10:40] <D4rkness> if you dont have the same version then theres no guarantee windows 8 will stay on the boot list
[10:40] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: i'd never recommend trying to convert. it can get messy
[10:41] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: done
[10:41] <lovelyrandomness> well, what's the downside in not using UEFI
[10:41] <lovelyrandomness> ?
[10:41] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: open gparted and delete all the partitions then write changes to disk
[10:41] <D4rkness> but yes if windows 8 went on through efi ubuntu must also go on that way so that if may be added to the list of startup os's
[10:42] <D4rkness> it*
[10:42] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: non efi uses mbr partition table, which has nasty limitations and more ways to mess up the bootstrap
[10:43] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: done, it warned me that is has no valid fake msdos partition table
[10:43] <HisaoNakai> Hey folks. I'm trying to remove all backup files in a folder using find /path/ -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 -iname '*~' | xargs -0 rm . But it deletes all files in that folder, instead of the backup ones. Please help :\
[10:43] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: thats ok. start the installer and install away
[10:44] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: damn, now i don't want legacy
[10:44] <lovelyrandomness> maybe i should go to my local hackerspace
[10:44] <lovelyrandomness> and see if someone there would want to give me some advice
[10:44] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyvaio: did you boot as uefi or usb ?
[10:44] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: just give it another install
[10:45] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: ? u have it set to uefi and booted from usb
[10:46] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: wait.. efibootmgr wouldn't have worked if you booted as legacy mode. drive on. install away
[10:47] <lovelyrandomness> should i drop the LVM now?
[10:47] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: i'd say yes, because of 2 other bugs that can mess that up for you
[10:48] <lovelyrandomness> ah ok, thank you!
[10:48] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: just stick with legacy layout for mow
[10:48] <hitsujiTMO> now*
[10:48] <lovelyrandomness> :(
[10:50] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: there's a bug where, depending on what usb chipset you have, your keyboard does not get loaded for the point where you need to enter your encryption password. another where it shows a black screen at that password prompt, instead of the prompt.
[10:52] <lovelyrandomness> for the LVM+encryption?
[10:52] <lovelyrandomness> i  really need/want encryption
[10:52] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: yup. and theres no need for lvm if you're not doing encryption
[10:53] <lovelyrandomness> ah, man, i was so happy to finally migrate from osx with full disk encryption to ubuntu with easy full disk encryption too
[10:53] <lovelyrandomness> it works super fine on my friends eee pc
[10:55] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: will be back to normal with 14.04 hopefully. i beleive both bugs have fixes made. just not make it to a live cd
[10:56] <lovelyrandomness> what do i search for on launchpad? i want to check, if my chipset is affected
[11:01] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: this is the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1238194   its if you require ohci_pci
[11:02] <D4rkness> i know the fix
[11:03] <D4rkness> you must use a bluetooth keyboard or use the mouse to click the menu and go to settings, then enable on screen keyboard
[11:03] <D4rkness> after login update your drivers
[11:03] <D4rkness> should contain a fix
[11:03] <lovelyrandomness> thank you hitsujiTMO
[11:08] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: that install done yet?
[11:09] <lovelyrandomness> nope, i have to head out, as much as i'd like to spend one whole day, to get it up and working again. my friends want to see me and i have to work too :/
[11:09] <silidan3> hi, i have several applications and also files and folders in the file manager without an icon to it in ubuntu 13.10 unity, how can i solve that problem?
[11:09] <lovelyrandomness> hitsujiTMO: i think i will go to my local hacker space tonight and ask around, if they have an idea, or at least try the install there, they have fast wifi :)
[11:10] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: hehe. hopefully this time it will go smoother at leasy
[11:10] <hitsujiTMO> lovelyrandomness: sweet
[11:17] <hitsujiTMO> silidan3: can you show us a screenshot of the problem?
[11:18] <silidan3> hitsujiTMO: shouldnt be necessary, apps are there i can click them in unity sidebar. but they have no icon, just empty space, also in file browser icons look all the same for files and folders
[11:20] <Gblue> Is there somebody that can give me a Linux VPS for free? It's just for some ZNC & IRC hosting :p 32MB RAM is enough
[11:20] <hitsujiTMO> gblue: try amazon AWS
[11:21] <Gblue> okay
[11:21] <Gblue> oh
[11:21] <Gblue> can i host a ZNC on amazone aws?
[11:22] <hitsujiTMO> silidan3: can you try reinstall the icons: sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-asset-pool
[11:22] <hitsujiTMO> gblue: you should be able to do whatever you want. its a small vps with some restrictions but its more than enough for znc
[11:23] <silidan3> hitsujiTMO: did that, should i log out log in for it to take effect?
[11:23] <hitsujiTMO> silidan3: yup
[11:23] <Gblue> okay hitsujiTMO and that's free lifetime?
[11:23] <hitsujiTMO> Gblue: free for 1 year
[11:24] <Gblue> k
[11:24] <giwrgaras> hi
[11:24] <giwrgaras> i've got a prob, i installed win8 and they deleted my ubuntu or something
[11:24] <giwrgaras> i had a dual boot, but after the win8 installation i cannot access my ubuntu
[11:24] <systemfish> upgraded to ubuntu 13.10 ... now I have cli only, no desktop
[11:25] <Benkinooby> Gblue: why not host it on your own?
[11:25] <hitsujiTMO> Gblue: there are other services too http://www.vps.me/free-vps
[11:25] <sventon> hi all, I get a purple screen with a white flickering row in the middle of the screen. I try to start in safe mode using F8 with the same result. What to do now ?
[11:25] <aloiece> still having the issue that my webdav won't work. Trying to access a webdisk but nautilus is giving me "not a  dav enabled share". any tricks available?_
[11:26] <hitsujiTMO> giwrgaras: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair    you can use this froma live cd
[11:26] <giwrgaras> gr8 thanks hitsujiTMO
[11:26] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: what gpu?
[11:26] <giwrgaras> live cd is the installation ubuntu 13.04 cd that i have
[11:26] <giwrgaras> ?
[11:26] <hitsujiTMO> giwrgaras: yup
[11:27] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: nividia
[11:27] <systemfish> nvidia*
[11:27] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg
[11:27] <silidan> HisaoNakai: didnt help, still same issue
[11:27] <giwrgaras> can i do that inside windows also? i tried something like that when i booted from ubuntu and i saw only the install again option
[11:28] <hitsujiTMO> silidan: install gnome-tweak-tool   and change the icon them ...., then change it back
[11:29] <HisaoNakai> Hey, silidan :D
[11:29] <giwrgaras> oh i see thats a different disc its called specifically boot repair disc
[11:29] <silidan> HisaoNakai: oops, wrong one... i mean hitsujiTMO
[11:30] <hitsujiTMO> giwrgaras: when you boot the live cd you should be given an option Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu    ... just go for try ubuntu ... if it boots the installer, just quit the installer and it will bring you to the live desktop. you can also install an irc client if you need to come here
[11:30] <HisaoNakai> silidan: I found it. It seems to have to do with the order of arguments in find. In my case putting -print0 after everything else worked.
[11:30] <HisaoNakai> silidan: oh lol!
[11:31] <hitsujiTMO> giwrgaras: you can install the boot repair tool onto the ubuntu live disk too
[11:31] <silidan> hitsujiTMO: well the software center has no idea of gnome-tweak tool, i try unity tweak tool
[11:32] <giwrgaras> if i boot once with the try method after that will it correct itseft?
[11:33] <hitsujiTMO> silidan: try again for gnome-tweak-tool. make sure you have universe repo enabled.
[11:33] <giwrgaras> or just go in and from there dll the repair disc. im concerned because my ubuntu was not empty and i had files there that i need
[11:33] <hitsujiTMO> giwrgaras: as in boot with: try ubuntu. add boot-repair ppa. install boot-repair. run boot repair
[11:34] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: failed to load nouveau (only got a console, hard to pastebin)
[11:34] <donc3> Hi! I have two problems with ubuntu, could sbdy help me?
[11:34] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: and failed to load fbdev
[11:35] <systemfish> and vesa.. (module does not exist)
[11:35] <silidan> hitsujiTMO: thanks that helped
[11:35] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit && pastebinit Xorg.0.log
[11:35] <systemfish> ah, thnx
[11:35] <hitsujiTMO> silidan: sweet
[11:35] <silidan> hitsujiTMO: duude
[11:36] <giwrgaras> is it safe enough (boot-repair)or i wont be able to boot from windows 8 afterwards?
[11:36] <donc3> firstly when I turned it on, in the  Ubuntu load window it says me "The disk controller for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready or present Continue waiting or push S to omit or push M to load it manually"
[11:36] <hitsujiTMO> giwrgaras: yes, its quite a safe tool
[11:37] <sventon> I have also tried to hold down the shift key during boot to get a terminal window but that don't seems to work ether, I really need help with this. Can't find any relevant information in the forums
[11:37] <lucido> I have a resolution option at the display settings 1360x768, but when I chose it the image hangs out of the lcd, how can I fix that?
[11:38] <hitsujiTMO> sventon: can you restate your issue
[11:38] <Junka> hello
[11:38] <Junka> I have a laptop
[11:38] <Junka> but my battery life is not so good. What do you recommend?
[11:38] <donc3> the second problem is that sometimes and without doing nothing Ubuntu turns crazy and it puts in low graphics mode, and then I have to reboot
[11:39] <hitsujiTMO> Junka: what do you mean batterly life is no good? how long is the battery lasting?
[11:39] <donc3> Could somebody help me?
[11:39] <Junka> around 2 hours hitsujiTMO
[11:39] <l9_> donc3: yeah
[11:39] <hitsujiTMO> Junka: what gpu do you have?
[11:40] <Junka> hitsujiTMO, GMA 4500MHD
[11:40] <Junka> intel
[11:41] <sventon> hitsujiTMO: yes, I been able to create a bootable USB stick but then I restart my computer and boot my USB I get a purple screen with some flickering white stuff in the middle of the screen.
[11:42] <hitsujiTMO> junka, the most you can do to improve the battery is install indicator-cpufreq    which will allow you to adjust the cpu speed. on demand is a good setting, or powersave if you want to keep the laptop on lowest usage. also turn down the brightness level
[11:43] <Junka> hitsujiTMO, my cpu does not support scaling
[11:43] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:43] <Junka> I hear a lot about tlp powermanagement but I dont wanna use something out of ubuntu's repo aka ppa. On software settings there is laptop-mode-tools, what do u think?
[11:44] <gordonjcp> !en | Junka
[11:44] <francesco2> btw guys ubuntu is fantastic the most user friendly linux distro :)
[11:45] <hitsujiTMO> sventon: can you get the grub screen up (usually hold left shift ... or right shift ... or hit esc at initial boot) and there just hit e to edit the grub menu, add "nomodeset" after "quiet splash" (without quotes ofc) and hit f10 to boot
[11:45] <hitsujiTMO> !nomodeset | sventon
[11:46] <donc3> firstly when I turned it on, in the  Ubuntu load window it says me "The disk controller for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready or present Continue waiting or push S to omit or push M to load it manually"
[11:46] <donc3> the second problem is that sometimes and without doing nothing Ubuntu turns crazy and it puts in low graphics mode, and then I have to reboot
[11:46] <hitsujiTMO> junka: power management stuff is just cpu freq scaling, disabling hdd when inactive for long periods. it seems all you can do is turn down the brightness of your display
[11:47] <hitsujiTMO> !ot | francesco2
[11:47] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: you got those urls yet for me?
[11:50] <johndude> for using this command : find /path/to/dir -name "*<string>*" -->how do i build a string like "20131109" to include todays date in place of *<string>*
[11:51] <hitsujiTMO> johndude: this sounds like homwork
[11:51] <sventon> hitsujiTMO: I have tried to hit left and right shift and esc but it don't take me anywhere, same thing with f4 and f8.
[11:51] <hitsujiTMO> homework*
[11:52] <hitsujiTMO> sventon: can you go into your bios and enable legacy usb and try again
[11:52] <johndude> could i use $date? i couldnt find the exact thing by search
[11:53] <hitsujiTMO> johndude: date +%Y%m%d
[11:54] <johndude>  find /path/to/dir -name date +%Y%m%d :  like this hitsujiTMO ?
[11:54] <sventon> hitsujiTMO: I have a macbook and as I understand it there are no bios settings
[11:54] <donc3> Could somebody help me???
[11:54] <hitsujiTMO> use backtick: find /path/to/dir -name `date +%Y%m%d`
[11:55] <donc3>  when I turned it on, in the  Ubuntu load window it says me "The disk controller for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready or present Continue waiting or push S to omit or push M to load it manually"
[11:55] <johndude> okay lemme try right away hitsujiTMO ty very much
[11:55] <hitsujiTMO> sventon: ahh, i know nothings of macbooks i'm afraid. have you tried the mac specific iso?
[11:56] <sventon> is there a  mac specific iso ?
[11:56] <hitsujiTMO> sventon: http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.10/    64bit mac iso
[11:57] <minimec> donc3: If you have your crypted partition on a normal hard drive and not a ssd, I would consider this as 'normal'. Happens on my laptop too.
[11:57] <minimec> donc3: Takes some tome to mount a crypted partition.
[11:58] <minimec> donc3: Please... No private messages.
[11:58] <donc3> sorry how can I mention you??
[11:59] <donc3> I thought that was "\msg"
[11:59] <minimec> donc3: How long does it take to mount the drive? There is no solution. I tjust takes some time to mount the drive, that's all.
[11:59] <donc3> okay, and can I uncrypt this partition??
[11:59] <donc3> decrypt*
[11:59] <minimec> donc3: write the nickname of the person, you want to talk to, that's enough to 'notify' the person.
[12:00] <donc3> minimec ok
[12:00] <minimec> donc3: No. Once crypted, you cannot go back.
[12:01] <minimec> bythe way. Good day everyone...
[12:01] <donc3> minimec: and I have another problem is that sometimes and without doing nothing Ubuntu turns crazy and it puts in low graphics mode, and then I have to reboot
[12:01] <Guest84394> if i'm on live cd, and want to make sure that no information is recorded after shutdown, i was told that i need to umount everything shown in "mount", right now mount returns: http://pastie.org/8467569 ; i'm not on a live cd right now, but if i were, how would i umount all of these?
[12:01] <hitsujiTMO> o/ minimec
[12:01] <minimec> donc3: Would that be on boot too or during a normal session?
[12:01] <sventon> hitsujiTMO: Didn't know about that! I will download ant test that ISO and see what happens. Thanks a lot really
[12:02] <donc3> during a normal session
[12:02] <minimec> hitsujiTMO: Looks that you staay awake 24/7... Amazing ;)
[12:02] <hitsujiTMO> minimec: rofl. i'm just allover the place
[12:02] <minimec> donc3: That is not normal, I agree.
[12:03] <donc3> minimec: yes, I know
[12:03] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: fixed it, thanks.
[12:03] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: cool
[12:04] <donc3> minimec: what can I do?
[12:04] <minimec> donc3: What exactly happens, when ubuntu 'turns crazy', as you say?
[12:04] <hitsujiTMO> Guest84394: sudo umount -a
[12:05] <donc3> minimec: the screen turns black and it doesn't works anything till it says that it has turned in low graphics mode
[12:05] <Guest84394> -a     All of the file systems described in /etc/mtab are unmounted. (With umount version 2.7 and later: the proc filesystem is not unmounted.)
[12:05] <Guest84394> hitsujiTMO: can you explain more please? this won't umount the cd but everything else? what about swap and harddisk?
[12:07] <minimec> donc3: Is that on a laptop? When it happens, did you try to switch to a console with <ctrl><alt>f1 once? It would be very interesting to read out the log files, after such an incident.
[12:07] <donc3> no, in a desktop pc
[12:08] <hitsujiTMO> Guest84394: i've never tried it tbh, but it should unmount everything it can. anything thats needed will be forced to keep mounted. the swap is never mounted. yo use a swap drive you use: sudo swapon /dev/sdX and to disable a swap: sudo swapoff /dev/sdX
[12:08] <goldug> hey, I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu or some ubuntu-based distro. how are the game support nowadays? I know there's Steam, but if I wanna play, like, Battlefield 4, is that possible in Wine or something? And how well does it do?
[12:08] <donc3> minimec: I have a ati 3850 HD agp, no I haven't try to read the log files, cause I don't know what log file is
[12:09] <minimec> donc3: Ok. You see. Now we would need the log files, to know what exactly happens on your machine.
[12:09] <Guest84394> ok i see
[12:09] <cfhowlett> !wine|goldug, results vary.  see wine for more details
[12:09] <Guest84394> ty
[12:09] <donc3> minimec: ok
[12:09] <johndude> hitsujiTMO >> the command didnt work :/
[12:09] <hitsujiTMO> goldug: no. stick with windows if you want absolutely all games. best thing to do its to install ubuntu alongside windows and use them both til you get used to ubuntu
[12:09] <goldug> okay, thanks.
[12:09] <minimec> donc3: ati 3850 HD AGP! That is the problem, I think. Do you use Ubuntu 13.10?
[12:09] <johndude> printed out nothing
[12:10] <johndude> i just need to evaluate todays date in the command as i ll place it in a script
[12:10] <donc3> minimec: yes I use it
[12:11] <minimec> donc3: In fact... If I remember well, the opensource drivers have problems with the AGP slot standard.
[12:11] <donc3> minimec: but it works perfectly always!
[12:11] <systemfish> what nvidia driver do you want?
[12:11] <goldug> hitsujiTMO: okay, that's what I thought. I have an SSD disk @ 250GB, så switching between the OS's will probably be fast... however, at this rate my ssd is almost full already...
[12:11] <systemfish> I have 8800GT.. how can I figure out what nvidia driver to install?
[12:11] <minimec> donc3: It worked with previous versions, right? But not anymore...
[12:12] <donc3> minimec: No,but now works perfectly
[12:12] <donc3> but sometimes it gets this issue
[12:12] <donc3> I don't now why
[12:12] <hitsujiTMO> johndude: i forgot to add wildcards: find /path -name "*`date +%Y%m%d`*"
[12:13] <goldug> I don't like the new window manager in Ubuntu however, is it unity? Don't remember what it's called, but it is easy to switch to a window manager that I find "better"?
[12:13] <goldug> is it*
[12:13] <cfhowlett> goldug, very easy.   sudo apt-get install.  logout.  change desktop manager.  login.
[12:14] <johndude> hitsujiTMO>> i am testing right away thanx
[12:14] <minimec> donc3: Well I think the 'why' is the AGP card. The same card on pci-e wouldn't make any problem.
[12:14] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: nvidia-173-updates   (or nvidia-173)
[12:15] <donc3> ok
[12:15] <donc3> minimec: so what can I do?
[12:15] <makara_> hi. I've bought VPS hosting, and it has Ubuntu 12.04, but the bash prompt is not setup like on my notebook. All I get is a dollar sign. No color, tab completion, history, etc. I tried copying the contents of .bashrc, but it hasn't made a difference. What 2 do?
[12:15] <goldug> cfhowlett, thanks. I've been trying a couple of *nix distro's, but they all seem difficult, since I need to manually edit most config-files and such... I think it's fun, but I don't have time for it.
[12:15] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: installing nvidia-current (304) .. what could possibly go wrong? ^^
[12:15] <hitsujiTMO> goldug: a very basic install of ubuntu would be about 30gb (including enough space for a single steam game to test)
[12:16] <spexi> Hi! I have Ubuntu Server 12.04, everytime after reboot I have to go and change nameserver to <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/resolv.conf. It has been while ago <IP_ADDRESS>, but where it keeps inheriting it? I'm editing the file with sudo but still it is changed after reboot.
[12:16] <minimec> donc3: I am pretty sure, that you will not have that problem, if you step back and install Ubuntu 12.04 on that machine. At the same time you can reformat the partition and use it uncrypted. That will also speed up your system. This is what I would do in your situation.
[12:16] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: 304 is for 200 series and up. 173 is the latest for your generation of gfx card
[12:16] <minimec> donc3: So I recommend you to use ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
[12:17] <cfhowlett> goldug, try this for desktop environment only - not the full meal!  sudo apt-get install lxde && sudo apt-get install xfce4     (lubuntu and xubuntu desktop environments)
[12:17] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: whats the output of: echo $SHELL
[12:17] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, /bin/sh
[12:17] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: so if I install 304.. nothing of benefit will happen really?
[12:17] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: type: bash
[12:18] <makara_> ah
[12:18] <systemfish> hitsujiTMO: that is.. it isn't baackward compatible with my card
[12:18] <goldug> okay, but another question: I have 5 harddrives (including the SSD, so 4 HDD and 1 SSD I guess), and I use them for different things. One for storage, two for games (I have a LOT), one for programs that doesn't need to be on SSD, and the system disk - SSD.
[12:18] <howefield> systemfish: probably nothing, the card is supported on that driver.
[12:18] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: what company did you buy the vps from?
[12:18] <goldug> How do I manage them in Ubuntu?
[12:18] <minimec> donc3: On the other hand, I know that you are not the only one with that AT/AMD AGP problem. So probably some people are working on a solution.
[12:18] <goldug> And do I need to reformat them?
[12:18] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, so it isn't even loading bash when I ssh in. What shell is sh then?
[12:18] <hitsujiTMO> systemfish: 304 is not compatable with your card
[12:18] <johndude> hitsujiTMO>>thanx soooooooo much. LAst thing just to make sure. The    "*`date +%Y%m%d`*"    part ALWAYS evaluates today right?
[12:19] <makara_> dash
[12:19] <makara_> amazing :|
[12:19] <makara_> thx
[12:19] <Hinterhuber> Hi there. I was just trying to udate Flash using Firefox on an unpriviledged account. The Flash Website tries to hand me an .apt file, but the "save as" is missing in Firefox.
[12:19] <donc3> minimec: okay thx
[12:19] <minimec> donc3: no problem
[12:20] <hitsujiTMO> johndude: yup
[12:20] <donc3> minimec: and which log file should I see when it happens another time?
[12:20] <johndude> hitsujiTMO>> thank you very much indeed
[12:20] <goldug> it might be dumb questions, but I'm still a linux noob :(
[12:20] <johndude> goldug>> you are not alone :)
[12:20] <goldug> :)
[12:21] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, weloveservers
[12:21] <hitsujiTMO> Hinterhuber: flash isn't supported on linux anymore. there is no updates
[12:21] <cfhowlett> goldug, fwiw, alienware offers an ubuntu laptop ...
[12:21] <goldug> I've "compiled" a number of distro's, but only while following guides 100%.
[12:21] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, $3.50 a month!!!!
[12:21] <minimec> donc3: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/syslog
[12:21] <goldug> cfhowlett, okay, nice :)
[12:22] <Hinterhuber> jitsujiTMO: I hope you are joking!
[12:22] <goldug> hitsujiTMO, w00t? No flash?!?
[12:22] <Hinterhuber> [sorry, got your name wrong] hitsujiTMO: I hope you are joking!
[12:22] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: if they're giving you dash as the default shell, then its a bit strange.
[12:23] <hitsujiTMO> Hinterhuber: nope. pepper plugin in chrome is the only officially endorsed plugin for linux now.
[12:23] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, I ain't complainin
[12:23] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: btw, amazon aws have ones for free
[12:24] <goldug> omg
[12:24] <kskdfmdkf> is there any skype like application for ubuntu, which can work on slow internet connection, i mean 2G GPRS connection
[12:24] <kskdfmdkf> At least for audio calls
[12:24] <Hinterhuber> hitsujiTMO: Maybe Ubuntu does not support it anymore, but Adobe certainly is. They also provide an .apt (which I need to download and install)
[12:24] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: do you actually get the 100mps bandwidth tho?
[12:25] <kskdfmdkf> Video calls not required
[12:25] <Guest84394> Hinterhuber: you can use the "tab" key to complete a name (type "hit" and then the tab key)
[12:25] <hitsujiTMO> Hinterhuber: no. adobe no longer support linux
[12:25] <goldug> anyways, gonna run away now.  IRC is not my world.
[12:26] <Guest84394> yw
[12:26] <kskdfmdkf> hitsujiTMO: how to fill adobe pdf forms then
[12:26] <goldug> Guest84394, I did not know that either, thanks from me too :)
[12:26] <kskdfmdkf> hitsujiTMO: i haven't seen any application which works well on adobe forms
[12:26] <hitsujiTMO> kskdfmdkf: no idea
[12:26] <Guest84394> :) it works like in the terminal
[12:26] <kskdfmdkf> do u know the alternative?
[12:27] <kostkon> kskdfmdkf, install adobe reader using the software centre
[12:27] <hitsujiTMO> Hinterhuber: read the yellow infox
[12:27] <hitsujiTMO> Hinterhuber: read the yellow infobox here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect
[12:27] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, what the heck would I do with 100mps??
[12:28] <kskdfmdkf> i am on a edge connection, 15-20 Kb/s sometimes when load is nil 28-29 Kbps
[12:28] <kskdfmdkf> i am facing frequent drops in skype calls
[12:28] <kskdfmdkf> i know because connection is slow
[12:28] <hitsujiTMO> makara_: torrent? vps? (i use 200mbs on my ds)
[12:29] <kskdfmdkf> i am looking for alternative, which can work on slow internet connection,
[12:29] <kskdfmdkf> there should be some application for ubuntu to serve that purpose
[12:30] <kskdfmdkf> google voice is even worse than skype, skype can do some call but google require even high bandwidth
[12:30] <makara_> hitsujiTMO, I couldn't watch the movies fast enough when I downloaded through a 512kbps connection
[12:30] <kskdfmdkf> i couldn't purchase 3G Plans, because they are too costly for me
[12:31] <minimec> Hinterhuber: There is in fact a 'workaround' for flash on linux... Some netflix developer is working on a plugin that brings you the windows Silverlight and Flash versions to Linux. That thing is called Pipelight. It is using wine, but integrates very well into the installed Browsers (Firefox/Chromium). I use that for Silverlight... http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html
[12:31] <makara_> kskdfmdkf, Google chat is probably your best option
[12:31] <cfhowlett> !ekiga
[12:31] <makara_> i didn't have any success with ekiga
[12:31] <kskdfmdkf> makara_: for voice call?
[12:32] <makara_> kskdfmdkf, for video call. Sure. You need to setup some software.
[12:32] <kskdfmdkf> chating is not a problem :D
[12:32] <kskdfmdkf> makara_: i need audio only
[12:33] <kskdfmdkf> video call not necesssary to me
[12:33] <makara_> kskdfmdkf, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/install-google-talk-ubuntu-official-repository/
[12:34] <Hinterhuber> hitsujiTMO: Okay, maybe my wording was wrong: I am trying to install the latest _security update_. They state that they backport these
[12:34] <Hinterhuber> hitsujiTMO: (And Firefox warns me that my current version is unsafe)
[12:34] <Hinterhuber> minimec: Thanks for your help - but this is way too awkward. :(
[12:36] <minimec> Hinterhuber: I agree that this is not a 'clean' solution, but I need that for Silverlight...
[12:36] <Hinterhuber> minimec: Thank god I don't need Silverlight. I already hate Flash more than enough <g>
[12:37] <ct529> hi everybody .... do you know how to change a BIOS disk into an EFI disk??
[12:39] <minimec> Hinterhuber: One of our telekom/tv providers here uses Silverlight DRM for TV encryption.. :(
[12:39] <krz> what are the trendy stacking window managers nowadays?
[12:40] <CoolApps> Just got this error while upgrading: http://caftp.3owl.com/Downloads/Fail.png
[12:40] <CoolApps> Just uploaded that image, not really a good sign but it got trough the rest of the installation though.
[12:41] <CoolApps> Through*
[12:41] <CoolApps> What do you think?
[12:41] <Hinterhuber> Thanks anyone, I'm heading over to a Firefox channel, maybe they can help.
[12:41] <john_____> exit
[12:42] <CoolApps> ?*
[12:42] <CoolApps> No one?
[12:43] <patb_> CoolApps, I get a 404 on that url
[12:43] <CoolApps> http://caftp.3owl.com/Downloads/Fail.jpg
[12:44] <CoolApps> Did the file extension wrong...
[12:44] <patb_> CoolApps, I'm getting those warning daily for the last year.........I have no idea if it's benign
[12:45] <CoolApps> Maybe it is to do with the drivers which where added? -Pat
[12:45] <CoolApps> I did add the SD Card reader driver...
[12:45] <CoolApps> I guess it didn't do any harm really....
[12:46] <patb_> CoolApps, mine seem to be related to TCP table switching; but I do have 3 SD card readers perma-plugged in, so perhaps that's it, I dunno
[12:46] <CoolApps> Strange...
[12:46] <howefield> CoolApps: read the log file, but it appears connected to the SD card reader
[12:46] <hitsujiTMO> CoolApps: looks like dkms failed to build a module. look at /var/lib/dkms/rts_bpp/1.1/build/make.log
[12:46] <krz> whats the stacking wm that auto stacks?
[12:47] <minimec> CoolApps: Did you check the mentioned log file in/var/lib/dkms/rts_bpp/1.1/build/make.log ? Do you have enough free space on your '/' partition?
[12:47] <CoolApps> Looking at it at the moment...
[12:47] <caspar> hello guys I need some help with my Amd dual Graphic Cards

[12:51] <systemfish> Junka: try install it with wine, but I don't think you'll get all the functionality  (unless itunes exists for linux9
[12:51] <CoolApps> Maybe it is to do with previous attempts of installing drivers for that processor.
[12:52] <Junka> I wanna sync with the latest iphone
[12:52] <CoolApps> Wow, that bot is just all ready. :P
[12:52] <CoolApps> iPhone 5S? -Junka
[12:52] <Junka> y
[12:53] <Junka> will it work with wine? has anyone tested it?
[12:53] <MSRthelle> hello
[12:53] <MSRthelle> need help
[12:53] <cfhowlett> !details|MSRthelle,
[12:53] <CoolApps> pci-device-id...
[12:53] <cfhowlett> Junka, no and yes
[12:54] <caspar> !details
[12:54] <MSRthelle> i need mass inbox mailer
[12:54] <Junka> what if I run itunes under virtualbox?
[12:54] <howefield> Junka: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347
[12:54] <moppy> Junka, Not really. See here: http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
[12:54] <maclu3> hello, why should i consider switching to ubuntu (from mac)? why is ubuntu (or linux in general) better than mac?
[12:54] <CoolApps> Yeah, I assume it is to do with the card reader driver...
[12:54] <cfhowlett> maclu3, OR you just run ubuntu ON a mac
[12:54] <moppy> maclu3, If you're happy with mac, why switch ? :-)
[12:54] <cfhowlett> !mac
[12:54] <OerHeks> MSRthelle, mass inbox mailer sounds like malware
[12:55] <moppy> maclu3, You don't need to switch anyway, just install Ubuntu in a VM and run it in a window on your desktop. See if you like it or not.
[12:55] <maclu3> but i mean what are the arguments used to support the point that ubuntu is better?
[12:56] <moppy> maclu3, I dont understand the purpose of asking that. Try it, if you like it, switch over. If not, dont
[12:56] <cfhowlett> maclu3, ^^^
[12:56] <cfhowlett> what he said
[12:57] <CoolApps> You will have to see yourself, there is A LOT of stuff which is useful in Ubuntu. - maclu3
[12:57] <auronandace> maclu3: the scope of this channel is support issues
[12:57] <maclu3> so it's just a visual preference? like how it feels kinda thing.... that's it?
[12:57] <moppy> maclu3, explain to me why you prefer red to blue
[12:57] <cfhowlett> maclu3, install it for yourself, see for yourself.  No one here is going to sell you anything .. unlike the fruitstore
[12:58] <cfhowlett> defend your selection of chocolate ice cream over strawberry
[12:58] <CoolApps> Well Ubuntu is advanced in ways but you can just avoid those advanced ways and use it has it is. - maclu3
[12:58] <cfhowlett> !mac
[12:59] <systemfish> when I log in, some stuff is trying to install itself.. but can't be installed. Can I remove it from whatever "to install" list that seems to exist? (nvidia-173-updates seems to be the package.. and I don't need it). Error msg is: failed to install nvidia-..
[12:59] <moppy> maclu3, If you want to PM me i can explain to you privately why *I* use linux but it's entirely subjective to me
[12:59] <Junka> ok i have installed the latest libimobiledevice, alla I need is a player like banshee?
[13:00] <maclu3> quite surprised of responses actually. thought you people believed strongly in some real superiority of ubuntu (real, not look and feel) and would give strong arguments for it . guess not then :)
[13:00] <cfhowlett> maclu3, so you're trying to instigate a debate?  not interested.
[13:00] <moppy> "you people"? See that choice of words is inflamatory and why discussions like this are just politics
[13:00] <Kromaz> maclu3: once you give ubuntu a chance you will never look back...
[13:00] <Junka> !players
[13:01] <auronandace> maclu3: ever heard of the phrase use the right tool for the right job?
[13:01] <maclu3> just wanted to hear some arguments if there are any, that's all
[13:01] <maintenance> hi everybody, someone can help me with a dualboot : boot repait repport here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387438/
[13:01] <moppy> PM and I'll tell you why I use it
[13:01] <cfhowlett> maclu3, do your own research
[13:01] <hitsujiTMO> maclu3: this is a support channel. not a debating channel
[13:01] <CoolApps> Lets say that Ubuntu is more for the advanced users. maclu3
[13:01] <OerHeks> maclu3, please don't poll in here, this is ubuntu support
[13:02] <cfhowlett> me mentally adds "don't poll and don't troll"
[13:02] <Inedible> Does anyone know if it's possible to access an existing shell/terminal on the same computer from another one? E.g. I have ssh'd into my development server but I want to access that existing SSH shell/connection from another shell (a local one)?
[13:02] <CoolApps> +1 - 0erHeks
[13:03] <hitsujiTMO> Inedible: no you need to use screen or tmux for stuff like that
[13:03] <moppy> Inedible, what is your use case for that?
[13:03] <caspar> I have a Problem with my AMD Radeon HD 8650G / 8670M Dual GPU. Basically my Laptop only uses the Radeon HD 8650G and he doesnt even show the other Graphic card as a discrete graphic card. But all the tutorials on how to get Dual Graphics working indicate that the computer "knows" that there is another discrete graphic card and thats why they dont work for me. So I just want to ask if anybody knows how to get dual graphics working
[13:03] <caspar> in this Situation or at least how to use the AMD Radeon HD 8670M  only .
[13:03] <giwrgaras> hi again im in from my boot disc using the try ubuntu method
[13:04] <Inedible> hitsujiTMO: The main reason I want to do this is to be able to access that shell from PHP eventually
[13:04] <moppy> Or hitsujiTMO could you enlighten me as to a typical use case for doing so? I've never encountered a situation like that
[13:04] <hitsujiTMO> Inedible: if you ssh and start a screen session. you can pick that screen session up again later from the local terminal or from another ssh session
[13:04] <giwrgaras> hitsujiTMO:  i can see my ubuntu partition, how can i get it back to work?
[13:04] <Inedible> hitsujiTMO: I actually already use screen but it doesn't solve my usecase
[13:04] <moppy> Inedible, Ca I ask why you would need  shell from php? isn't that like, really dangerous and don't they provide alternatives to it?
[13:05] <giwrgaras> from the try ubuntu version i can see and access both partitions, what can i do now? just install the boot - repair utility?
[13:05] <johndude> i am getting "omitting directory...." with this command.What am i doing wrong? find /media/sf_main/source -name "*`date +%Y%m%d`*" -exec cp -R /media/sf_main/backup {} \;
[13:05] <Inedible> hitsujiTMO: The reason I need to be able to do what I need is so that I use the existing SSH connection to the remote server instead of opening one when I need to (I'll be accessing the existing shell from PHP eventually)
[13:05] <Inedible> moppy: I need access to shell output from remote servers
[13:06] <Trudko> guys I am running ubuntu and windows from same disk. Can I resize directly from Ubuntu windows partition in order to get some extra space ?
[13:06] <moppy> Inedible, they dont create log files?
[13:06] <cfhowlett> Trudko, you can use gparted on the ubuntu live cd to resize windows
[13:06] <maintenance> Trudko, yed but defrag+scandisk windows partition before
[13:06] <Inedible> moppy: That won't solve the problem of needing to log in to read the log file
[13:07] <hitsujiTMO> Inedible: is this by anychance for something like a minecraft server?
[13:07] <Inedible> moppy: With one SSH connection, I could grab the information locally
[13:07] <Inedible> hitsujiTMO: Nope, I'm grabbing data from a remote machine to display on a web page
[13:07] <Trudko> maintenance, so can I do it directyl from running ubuntu ?
[13:08] <moppy> Inedible, OK if you can't fix the remote servers to operate in a secure way, I guess you are required to SSH into them
[13:08] <ct529> Hi! I have a GPT disk with bios_grub, I need to move the disk to efi_grub .... how do I do that?
[13:08] <goc> hello lads and gals
[13:08] <CoolApps> How to I improve battery A LOT on Ubuntu?
[13:08] <Inedible> moppy: The servers are secure - I just want to avoid the overhead of ssh logging in every time I click the reload button on the webserver
[13:09] <moppy> CoolApps, have you got Jupiter?
[13:09] <Giwrgaras_> hi again help pls
[13:09] <cfhowlett> !details|Giwrgaras_,
[13:09] <goc> i am new to linux just switched from windows as much as i love it im confused even more
[13:09] <moppy> Inedible, I understand if you aren't responsible for the remote servers and have to use them as given, that's fine. However IMO I dont call it secure if they need an SSH login to read things they should be outputting via an API
[13:09] <CoolApps> I heard of it getting removed so I did not manage to get my hands on it. - moppy
[13:09] <cfhowlett> !details|goc
[13:10] <maintenance> Trudko, no defrag and scandisk under windows
[13:10] <Giwrgaras_> i installed win8 and afterwards i cannot access my ubuntu installation
[13:10] <Trudko> maintenance, yeah sure but once i defraged and scandigs from the windows can i just go to ubuntu and resize it from there wihtout livecd
[13:10] <Inedible> moppy: The other constraint is that nothing needs to be installed on the remote server
[13:10] <cfhowlett> !grub|Giwrgaras_,
[13:10] <Giwrgaras_> im in with a boot disc using the try ubuntu method and i want to repair the boot so that i can choose again which os to load
[13:11] <cfhowlett> !grub|Giwrgaras_,
[13:11] <knoppix> hi
[13:11] <maintenance> Trudko, yes
[13:11] <goc> I am running ubuntu 13.10 and i have installed apache2 since i am web designer and developer but i cant find the root folder its not in /var its not in /home when i open cfg file its empty but the http// localhost is up and running
[13:11] <Inedible> moppy: I could do a whole bunch of things if I could install mysql on the remote server but then I'd be operating outwith the parameters I've been given
[13:11] <maintenance> must go, bye
[13:11] <knoppix> Helo
[13:11] <Inedible> moppy: Memory being the primary one and resource usage needs to be low for the other one
[13:11] <moppy> Inedible, Yes I agree: I said it was quite OK if you aren't in charge of the remote machines. YOu just to work around what they give you. It's fine.
[13:11] <CoolApps> Do shift when you get to the underscore screen. - Giwrgaras_
[13:12] <minimec> goc: /var/www
[13:12] <goc> nop sir its not there
[13:12] <goc> i have lock tmp crash and metrics
[13:12] <goc> no www
[13:12] <moppy> Inedible, well it's not fine really, their setup is not secure, but it's nothing you can do, so no-one to worry about it :-)
[13:12] <knoppix> i can not to change the my folder in the system
[13:12] <Giwrgaras_> CoolApps:  i tried with the live cd but i get only 2 options: try & install
[13:13] <Giwrgaras_> no reccomended repair option or a repair
[13:13] <cfhowlett> !grubGiwrgaras_, READ
[13:13] <cfhowlett> !grub|Giwrgaras_, READ
[13:13] <Inedible> moppy: How is that insecure?
[13:14] <cfhowlett> Giwrgaras_, when you installed windows, you killed the grub bootload.  that can be recovered.  your ubuntu is still present
[13:14] <goc> im at a wall here
[13:14] <cfhowlett> goc, the folks on #ubuntu-server probably know where to look
[13:14] <Giwrgaras_> i read it now and it says to i&r Boot-Repair
[13:14] <goc> ill go there lads
[13:15] <CoolApps> cfhowlett, Yeah, Windows installs its own bootloader...
[13:15] <goc> thank you
[13:15] <goc> sorry for bothering you
[13:15] <cfhowlett> goc, good luck
[13:15] <Giwrgaras_> can i do that from the preview in which i am? i am using the try ubuntu now
[13:15] <knoppix> i have a bad error install msfcosole on
[13:15] <goc> ty
[13:15] <moppy> Inedible, the user your are SSHing into, is a locked down account, I assume?
[13:15] <davi> como que vai
[13:15] <Giwrgaras_> because i cant get in from my old ubuntu installation
[13:15] <irgendwer4711> hi, it seems to be that my 4k-hdd is working with 512, what to do now to activate 4k-mode?
[13:15] <CoolApps> Anything to improve battery a lot?
[13:15] <davi> tudo bem ai
[13:16] <davi> vc sabe mexer no linux
[13:16] <davi> ?
[13:16] <cfhowlett> !es|davi,
[13:16] <fishduck> May I ask why monday isn't the first day of the week in unity's calendar?
[13:16] <moppy> fishduck, Why should it be? Many people consider that to be Sunday
[13:16] <cfhowlett> fishduck, why would it be?
[13:16] <davi> ok
[13:17] <fishduck> moppy:  work starts on monday
[13:17] <moppy> fishduck, for you maybe :-)
[13:17] <knoppix> can some one help me to install that file metasploit-latest-linux-installer.run
[13:17] <fishduck> ah.. culture shock :D
[13:18] <cfhowlett> fishduck, be strong and endure.  we have faith in you.
[13:18] <CoolApps> So about Jupiter?
[13:18] <fishduck> ^^
[13:18] <CoolApps> Where can you get it since it was removed?
[13:18] <donc3> Hi
[13:19] <donc3> somebody knows where is located xorg.conf in ubuntu 13.10?
[13:19] <donc3> because it is not in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[13:19] <minimec> goc: check /etc/apache2/site-available/default That would show you were the 'It works' index.html is located.
[13:19] <knoppix> can some one help me to install that file metasploit-latest-linux-installer.run i get a error
[13:19] <hitsujiTMO> fishduck: starting day of week appears to be determined by locale. mon is here for mine
[13:20] <moppy> CoolApps, SO I just looked. Jupiter devs say it's not needed anymore as the newer kernel has power management improvements. Apparently. Ho-hum.
[13:20] <CoolApps> Seems legit... - moppy
[13:20] <hitsujiTMO> donc3 its generated if you don't have one. and you don't have one.
[13:21] <CoolApps> Ok, thanks.
[13:21] <donc3> in /etc/X11/ it only is xorg.conf.failsafe
[13:21] <hitsujiTMO> donc3: then you don't have an xorg.conf
[13:22] <donc3> hitsujiTMO: so how could i generate it??
[13:22] <hitsujiTMO> donc3: man xorg.conf
[13:23] <knoppix> i have backtrack5 r3 94% i use and it works betar
[13:23] <donc3> hitsujiTMO: but mannually?
[13:23] <cfhowlett> !backtrack|knoppix,
[13:23] <moppy> donc3, if you have nvidia, their driver program has something you can run to generate a default xorg.conf for tweaking
[13:23] <hitsujiTMO> donc3: yes. you don't need one unless you want to add something specific
[13:24] <donc3> hitsujiTMO: I only want that my screen doesn't turn off when I'm playing videos in fullscreen mode
[13:25] <moppy> donc3, which GUI?
[13:25] <moppy> donc3, unity has power manager options in the system settings for that
[13:25] <donc3> moppy: streaming videos
[13:26] <hitsujiTMO> donc3: install caffeine
[13:27] <donc3> hitsujiTMO: but caffeine doesn't work with youtube
[13:27] <lucido> looking at my X log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6387821/ can someone explain why is the "NULL" mode being set instead of the one specified in my xorg.conf?
[13:28] <marielle> how can i apply the "file" command to all the files in a directory?
[13:29] <n008> how do I find out the Linux Kernel I am running
[13:30] <BluesKaj> n008. uname -a
[13:30] <lucido> ping
[13:30] <knoppix> a to all hackers ther is a now thc-ipv6-2.5 in December
[13:30] <BluesKaj> n008. or uname -r
[13:31] <hitsujiTMO> marielle: file *
[13:31] <johndude> i am getting "omitting directory...." error with this command.What am i doing wrong? find /media/sf_main/source -name "*`date +%Y%m%d`*" -exec cp -R /media/sf_main/backup {} \;
[13:34] <n008> BluesKaj: better thanks
[13:35] <treonaut> any help in preparing a computer with dualboot ubuntu 13.10 and windows 8
[13:35] <rmobenchain> I have a question.  I just updated to 13.10 last night and am curious, did all the flash software upadate automatically or do I need to do more updates?
[13:36] <hamedk> how can i only update my firefox?
[13:36] <user_> aa
[13:36] <cfhowlett> rmobenchain, if you had flash before, it updated.  if not, install ubuntu-restrcited-extras
[13:36] <cfhowlett> !dualboot|treonaut,
[13:37] <moppy> hamedk, current versions of firefox automatically update: I am not sure what you are asking. Does ubuntu's firefox disable that? Is this an older firefox?
[13:37] <Guest53119> Hi all. In 13.10 it strikes me as weird that I cannot chose the preferd email application anymore (custom link to chromium/gmail). Now it's just thunderbird. And google didn't help. Anyone has a suggestion here? I am looking for changing the preferred application for sending emails (i.e. files by email) to the browser and gmail there.
[13:38] <hamedk> moppy: mine is 22
[13:38] <hamedk> moppy: and i don't update via apt-get upgrade
[13:38] <Guest53119> This used to work via a shell script like i.e. firefox https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cm&tf=0&to=`echo $1 | sed ‘s/mailto://’`
[13:39] <moppy> hamedk, there is a setting in firefox to get it to automatically update itself, give me a sec to find it
[13:39] <marielle> hitsujiTMO i tried that but i only get as a result "directory" i need to have the file command applied to each file of the directory
[13:39] <hitsujiTMO> marielle: as in you want it to be recursive?
[13:39] <moppy> hamedk, navigate to "about:config" and look for "app.update.auto" setting. Set to true or false as required
[13:40] <moppy> hamedk, That is navigate in firefox, of course :-)
[13:40] <marielle> hitsujiTMO yes but i dont know how to do it
[13:40] <hamedk> moppy:its value is true
[13:41] <moppy> hamedk, so firefox should be auto-updating itself then ... i don't know why yours is not. Does ubuntu disable that?
[13:41] <hamedk> moppy: i don't know
[13:42] <angela_> quick question, I can connect to my VPS using SFTP, but when uploading files of 50MB in size, it just failed
[13:42] <friday_>   x
[13:42] <angela_> is this because of file upload size limit?
[13:42] <hitsujiTMO> marielle: find | file
[13:42] <angela_> where can I adjust it?
[13:42] <n008> how do I solve the flash bug, my screen freezes on fullscreen after a while
[13:42] <moppy> hamedk, you can get the package for the current ubuntu version here if that helps: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/firefox
[13:42] <gordonjcp> angela_: got enough free diskspace?
[13:42] <hamedk> moppy: thanks
[13:43] <angela_> gordonjcp: yeah
[13:43] <angela_> I think one other possible problem is that I might have set to prevent uploading in folder other than the home folder
[13:43] <angela_> but I still need to find the config file to confirm
[13:43] <angela_> do you know where the configuration file for sftp is?
[13:43] <gordonjcp> angela_: does it work with scp?
[13:44] <angela_> gordonjcp: I have several files to upload, hoping to get it working with filezilla :)
[13:44] <moppy> n008, I don't know but I can tell you that google chrome (not chomium) has an updated flash player : version 11.9. All other linux browers such as firefox and chromium are on 11.2
[13:51] <root> d
[13:51] <root> d
[13:53] <MarkDavis> hI
[13:53] <cfhowlett> MarkDavis, greetings
[13:53] <MarkDavis> How can I check which ubuntu disc is my main Ubuntu disc?
[13:54] <cfhowlett> MarkDavis, ... you mean hard drive?
[13:54] <MarkDavis> Yes, I think, cfhowlett.
[13:54] <cfhowlett> MarkDavis, dude.  be sure.
[13:55] <MarkDavis> cfhowlett: to put the other way: I have two partitions. I want to know which partition is the main partition of Ubuntu.
[13:55] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: lol - but to answer your question use the commadn 'mount'
[13:55] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: the otput of that command will shouw you, where your / is mounted
[13:55] <Benkinooby> that
[13:55] <MarkDavis> cfhowlett: because the situation looks pretty crazy, I've formatted it and I've just checked that it... stills contains a lot of the old stuff.
[13:56] <Benkinooby> that's your system partition
[13:56] <cfhowlett> MarkDavis, assuming you are or did dual boot
[13:56] <MarkDavis> yes, they were a dual boot
[13:57] <MarkDavis> but I formatted one of the partitions
[13:57] <cfhowlett> MarkDavis, as Benkinooby stated: mount
[13:57] <cfhowlett> as in command, not verb ...
[13:58] <MarkDavis> Yes, so it even contains the directories of the users from the previous installation.
[13:58] <MarkDavis> cfhowlett: BTW, I use the words "drive", "discs" and "partitions" largely interchangeably.
[13:58] <cfhowlett> MarkDavis, thus my confusion ...
[13:59] <MarkDavis> /s/drive/drives
[13:59] <funkt> anyone here use plesk?
[13:59] <MarkDavis> /dev/sda1 on /
[14:01] <MarkDavis> I don't understand what's going on. Both the partitions contain a lot of the old stuff. How is it possible?
[14:02] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: whats the output of: lsblk
[14:04] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: well in that case, /dev/sda1 is your current system partition
[14:04] <MarkDavis> And I want to delete one of them. But it seems that the dictionaries of current users are on the partition which is not the Ubuntu's main partition.
[14:04] <MarkDavis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6388015/
[14:04] <sabgenton> what is in $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
[14:04] <sabgenton> I can't get it to do anything
[14:05] <sabgenton> I'm guessing it's where u invoke it...
[14:05] <MarkDavis> sabgenton: I've just echoed it. It's empty.
[14:05] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: from the looks of it, sda5 should have nothing to do with the install of sda1
[14:05] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: paste the output of mount
[14:05] <sabgenton> MarkDavis: yeah same but it does something
[14:05] <sabgenton> in the right contexts
[14:06] <MarkDavis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6388019/
[14:07] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: maybe /media/be2a2093-1428-4424-bda3-61a8cabb9bfd is linked to your /home/ ?
[14:07] <MarkDavis> how can I check it?
[14:08] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: uhm... i'd search around with ls -al a bit
[14:08] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: you'll recognize links becasue they have the form name1 -> name2
[14:08] <geirha> MarkDavis: You said you formated "it". Is "it" /dev/sda5? and if so, how did you format it?
[14:08] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: ls -al /
[14:09] <arsdragonfly> How do I enter the advanced welcome page when booting from an kubuntu iso?
[14:09] <MarkDavis> Once I had yet another Linux and Ubuntu mounted it on a "media" directory. I don't exactly remember how the partition I had formatted had been called. But I told Ubuntu to format it when installing.
[14:10] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: so you want /dev/sda5 removed?
[14:10] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: ls -laR $HOME | grep "/media"
[14:12] <lucido> why am I getting this [    21.262] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "NULL" inspite of a validated mode defined in my xorg.conf?
[14:12] <MarkDavis> Benkinooby: I want to remove the partition which I can safely remove. But the partition which  is the main one of Ubuntu has directories of previously defined users, not now. The second partition has the directories of currently defined users.
[14:12] <MarkDavis> hitsujiTMO: It returns nothing.
[14:12] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: then nothing in your home directory is linking to that partition
[14:13] <hitsujiTMO> MarkDavis: /dev/sda5 is the "other" partition of you want to get rid of that
[14:14] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: what makes you think that /home of your /media/foo partition is the actively used one?
[14:15] <MarkDavis> I am not sure if it is "/home of /media/foo". But, as I already put it, the main partition of Ubuntu has users which has been never defined on it since installation. I've checked that my home folder contains the files I've got since the new installation.
[14:17] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: maybe ubuntu tried to be smart and did the following thing during install: oh, i see a previous ubuntu install, lemme copy those files into the new install so that the user can keep his files in the new install without all that backup-hasslpe
[14:17] <Benkinooby> *hassle
[14:18] <mammuth> #ubuntu-fr
[14:19] <minimec> !fr
[14:20] <MarkDavis> Oh, no. I just confused the partitions. And I must have defined the users during the installation :D.
[14:20] <Benkinooby> MarkDavis: but to keep things short - dev/sda5 is the one to delete
[14:21] <Benkinooby> ok, so problem solved?
[14:21] <MarkDavis> Yeah. Thank you very much.
[14:24] <Benkinooby> :)
[14:30] <ciaoo> ciao a tutti

[14:35] <Benkinooby> ^ ok, i am wrong. some are wrking and irc'ing at the same time :P
[14:35] <denis> :)
[14:35] <denis> sorry to bother you guys seeing this question .. just so stuck in my life at the moment..
[14:36] <lachitha> hello, im new to ubuntu
[14:36] <denis> should i value inderstry more than anything.. to get a job..?
[14:37] <Benkinooby> lachitha: welcome :)
[14:37] <pacy> as Benkinooby told you , this is offtopic :) there are plenty of channels which are welcome to discuss that with you
[14:39] <lachitha> hello, can anybody help me to wifi problem with my laptop
[14:39] <Benkinooby> !wireless
[14:41] <Benkinooby> lachitha: usually it's only a matter of few clicks - if you know how :)
[14:41] <lachitha> im using ubtunu 13.10, in network manager displays wifi is disabled by the hardware, how can i fix this
[14:41] <lachitha> @benkinooby can u help me to solve this
[14:42] <Benkinooby> lachitha: i'll try. first check if there is a hardware switch for your wifi.
[14:42] <Benkinooby> lachitha: are you using a lpatop?
[14:42] <lachitha> no there is only fn+f8, but its not working
[14:42] <lachitha> yes im suing a laptop
[14:43] <Benkinooby> lachitha: just a few question, so that i knwo what we're deling with. 1) is your laptop dualboot (windows and linux)?
[14:43] <sabret00the> Hi guys, looking at the ppa.launchpad.../ubuntu-mozilla-daily/.../binary-i386 is says that latest update was yesterday, however then i attempt to update and upgrade I'm not getting the update, any idea how to fix it
[14:44] <Benkinooby> 2) Did that wireless card work beofre in linux? did it work before in windows?
[14:44] <auronandace> sabret00the: contact the ppa maintainer
[14:44] <lachitha> @benkinooby im using only ubuntu. yes its works with windows 77
[14:45] <Benkinooby> lachitha: you don't need the @
[14:45] <lachitha> ok thans. im new to this
[14:45] <Benkinooby> lachitha: usually you can type the first few letters of my nick and the tab-complete it by clicking tab
[14:46] <Benkinooby> e.g. i only type la and then press tab
[14:46] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok i got it friend
[14:46] <Benkinooby> :)
[14:46] <sabret00the> Thanks auronandace
[14:46] <lachitha> benkin
[14:46] <Benkinooby> lachitha: ok, so first we want to make sure, that your wifi is not blocked by hardware. so check your BIOS settings. do you knwo how to do that?
[14:46] <goc> ok im back with another and i hope last problem lamp is making me rip my hair out
[14:46] <Benkinooby> lachitha: don't forget to hit the tab key
[14:47] <minimec> lachitha: First... Check if you accidently disabled it with a hardware key... 2nd... install rfkill 'sudo apt-get install rfkill' and try to 'rfkill unblock all', 3rd... I would reset your BIOS. Resetting the BIOS to its default values helped me with a similar problem with bluetooth.
[14:47] <Benkinooby> minimec: rfkill would have been my next step :P
[14:47] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok friend. no its enabled by bios
[14:47] <goc> to be exact i did phpmyadmin install which finished then i went localhost/phpmyadmin and i get 404
[14:48] <Benkinooby> lachitha: oh, are you cahtting from an other computer than the one with the wifi-problems?
[14:48] <Strathy> how can I enable 'eyecandy' on lxde environment? Nvidia drivers already installed.
[14:48] <Benkinooby> Strathy: maybe you'll have more luck in a lxde-related channel. e.g. #lubuntu or #lxde (if that exists)
[14:49] <lachitha> Benkinooby, no im chatting with the problem one. im connected with mobile broadband, i have another problem with mobile broadband. i'll tell it later
[14:49] <Benkinooby> lachitha: ok. so you already checked your bios?
[14:50] <lachitha> Benkinooby, yes i checked it. my wireless light indicator is on now
[14:50] <Benkinooby> lachitha: was it off before?
[14:51] <lachitha> no its always on. if I disabled it from bios. it will off
[14:51] <Benkinooby> lachitha: ah ok.
[14:51] <Benkinooby> lachitha: now next step: we will use the command rfkill
[14:51] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok, how can i do that
[14:51] <Benkinooby> lachitha: use the following commadn (without the ' ): rfkill list
[14:52] <Benkinooby> lachitha: use the following commadn (without the ' ): 'rfkill list'
[14:52] <Benkinooby> lachitha: do you get usable outptu?
[14:52] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok i did it, Wlan hard blocked YES, Soft Blocked NO
[14:52] <Benkinooby> *output
[14:52] <Benkinooby> ok
[14:54] <yeyeman> I hate youtube so much right now
[14:54] <lachitha> Benkinooby, phy0: Wireless LAN	Soft blocked: no	Hard blocked: yes
[14:54] <Benkinooby> lachitha: i'm reading abit on that topic... i think i had a simialr proble before but i don't knwo how i solved it
[14:54] <uncle_ben> i may need to reset a password on a router...how do i discover the make/model of the router and the local network address i need to put into the browser address bar to access the configuration menu?
[14:55] <pacy> uncle_ben: do you have no physical access to it ?
[14:55] <Benkinooby> lachitha: use the following commadn: 'lspci | grep 802'
[14:55] <uncle_ben> pacy, not at the moment
[14:55] <OerHeks> uncle_ben, for make/model see the router itself, and access is usually done with the gateway adresss you are using now
[14:56] <Benkinooby> lachitha: i want to know what wifi card you are using
[14:56] <Toph> uncle_ben,,, <IP_ADDRESS> is usually the router
[14:56] <SPEEDWAVE> my gamepad not function in ubuntu 12.04 my gamepad is just a local
[14:56] <lachitha> Benkinooby, intel wifi agn 5100
[14:56] <uncle_ben> OerHeks, ok, i'll check the device when i can... Toph if by chance that's not the address, how would i find it?
[14:57] <lachitha> Benkinooby, i did that, nothing happen
[14:57] <Benkinooby> lachitha: nothing is suppoed to happen. it just tells you waht wifi card you have, nothing else
[14:58] <Benkinooby> lachitha: try this 'sudo rfkill unblock all'
[14:58] <phong_> hi guys
[14:59] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok i did that
[14:59] <phong_> anyone know how to get svn setup ?
[14:59] <hamedk> i just lost a libreoffice document, its size became 0, out of the blue, libreoffice said it's corrupted and the file is locked for editing and after that i noticed its size has become zero, what the hell i can do ? all the Assignment due tomorrow is GONE
[14:59] <phong_> anyone would like to help me?
[14:59] <Benkinooby> lachitha: now 'rfkill list'
[14:59] <Benkinooby> aby changes?
[14:59] <Benkinooby> *any
[14:59] <CyberGabber> uncle_ben: Find 'Gateway'-adress by typing in console: netstat -r -n
[14:59] <Benkinooby> maybe you have to reboot
[15:00] <Toph> uncle_ben,,, check on the back/bottom of the router,, generally all info is there
[15:00] <Toph> uncle_ben,,, or, google the router brand and make and you will find documentation on it
[15:00] <pacy> uncle_ben: route -n or netstat -r -n
[15:00] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok I will reboot, this is the message phy0: Wireless LAN	Soft blocked: no	Hard blocked: yes
[15:00] <hamedk> pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
[15:00] <uncle_ben> CyberGabber Toph pacy, great...thanks for your help
[15:00] <lachitha> Benkinooby, im going to reboot now
[15:00] <phong_> anyone know how to setup svnsubversion?????
[15:01] <jeffrey_f> phong_: Ask and wait.  If in a few minutes you don't get a response, ask again maybe with more info
[15:01] <Benkinooby> lachitha: ok, see you soon
[15:01] <pacy> uncle_ben: try to type the ip adress you get out of netstat in your browser .. sometimes the gateway(router) can be accessed by that
[15:01] <Benkinooby> hamedk: usually: turn off PC, get a resuce Live-CD and try to recover the data
[15:02] <Benkinooby> *rescue
[15:02] <hamedk> Benkinooby: isn't there a handier way?
[15:02] <Benkinooby> hamedk: not that i know of :/
[15:02] <Benkinooby> hamedk: maybe some1 else can offer better advice
[15:03] <uncle_ben> pacy, ok...i'll have to do this later when i'm at that location...thanks again
[15:04] <soul66> good morning
[15:04] <soul66> !list
[15:04] <babinlonston> There is a Image , and i want to make it circle how can i do it using GIMP , Badly I'm A new User to GIMP Before 2 Min's
[15:04] <phong_> does anyone know how to install/setup subversion to work?
[15:05] <soul66> see you
[15:05] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok, I used rfkill list but its same
[15:05] <Benkinooby> lachitha: hm :/
[15:05] <lachitha> Benkinooby, what shall we do
[15:06] <minimec> lachitha: Now comes the point, where I would reset the BIOS to default settings. There should be an option for that in your BIOS...
[15:06] <pacy> phong_: you've been here yesterday asking the same question over and over.. someone gave you the advice to read the documentation (which is prettx straight forward) you didnt took that advice ... you may should consider living your life without subversion. sorry
[15:07] <CyberGabber> uncle_ben: Did you find the ip-address of your router?
[15:07] <lachitha> minimec, why we have to reset bios, is this a bios problem
[15:07] <Benkinooby> lachitha: it might be and since i am out of ideas right now, it's the best guess :P
[15:08] <minimec> lachitha: I had exactly the same problem once eith my Lenovo laptop and Bluetooth. A BIOS reset did it...
[15:08] <uncle_ben> CyberGabber, no, i need to find the address of a router at a different location...my set up at home is wired without a router, so i can't even test the commands here, but at least i know what to do now
[15:08] <Benkinooby> lachitha: the problem is: hardware block is a problem, that you can not solve with software (surprise!!!)
[15:09] <lachitha> Benkinooby, why is that. in windows wifi works fine. this is problem with ubuntu
[15:09] <Benkinooby> lachitha: so you either have to find a way outside the operating system (BIOS) or find the correct hardware switch (seems like your fn+f8 is not a hard-wired switch but something that has to be run by your keyboard driver)
[15:10] <Benkinooby> lachitha: what laptop model do you use?
[15:10] <lachitha> im using toshiba l500D
[15:10] <pacy> Benkinooby: maybe NdisWrapper ?
[15:10] <Benkinooby> lachitha: ok. i'll see if i find somethign for that. but until then, resetting the bios settings is a fair guess
[15:10] <Benkinooby> pacy: wrong problem :P
[15:11] <lachitha> Benkinooby, ok i will reset the bios
[15:11] <pacy> Benkinooby: wrong solution :P
[15:11] <Benkinooby> pacy: fair enough
[15:11] <Benkinooby> pacy: although i wonder what you're doing in this channel though... :P
[15:12] <Benkinooby> pacy: maybe #wireless will suit your solutions better :D
[15:13] <pacy> Benkinooby: i should probably just wander around my city asking people if they need help with their wifi :)

[15:37] <Ivann> Hello, I need some help here :)
[15:37] <charpandnl> hi :)
[15:37] <Ivann> Hello charpandnl I'm having some issues with the Ubuntu installation
[15:37] <charpandnl> I've just succesfully configured pam_usb with a usbdevice to login
[15:37] <Ivann> nvm :p
[15:38] <charpandnl> a c'mon :P
[15:38] <charpandnl> tell me
[15:38] <charpandnl> what's the issue :)
[15:38] <Ivann> So I got this dedicated server from ShardGaming
[15:38] <Ivann> but I think they didn't set the network up right
[15:38] <Ivann> Because in the IPMI panel, the hostname is blank and it says I'm not allowed to edit it.
[15:39] <charpandnl> mmm
[15:39] <Shinobi> is there a way to dump the trash from the command line?
[15:39] <Ivann> And Ubuntu asks for a hostname, I just made one up for the time being
[15:39] <charpandnl> I don't know the service Shardgaming provides,
[15:39] <Ivann> This is for the Ubuntu server though, am I right?
[15:39] <jubale> Which config file do we edit to automatically mount Windows partition?
[15:39] <charpandnl> but it seems you do not have root rights?
[15:39] <hamedk> what the heck i can do when apt-get gives unmet dependecies? i tried the offers in askubuntu.com
[15:40] <Ivann> I can do a lot of stuff. I can mount ISO's and stuff
[15:40] <Ivann> but I can't really edit hardware settings
[15:40] <charpandnl> tried $ sudo nano /etc/hostname
[15:40] <Ivann> I'm installing Ubuntu right now with a random hostname, can that cause complications in the future?
[15:40] <yeats> hamedk: can you pastebin the full error you're getting?
[15:40] <hamedk> yeats: sure
[15:41] <charpandnl> Ivann, in my opinion not, 'cause you'll be running services,
[15:41] <charpandnl> a hostname only refers as indication, just like DomainNames are easier than IP
[15:41] <Ivann> Ok
[15:41] <Ivann> But still it's an issue right?
[15:42] <Ivann> I have no domain linked to the server right now, but if I do can I specify the sub-domain as hostname?
[15:42] <charpandnl> and when you're setting up an mailserver or something, you'll need to edit the config for those correctly,
[15:42] <Ivann> Or a webserver? Because I'm planning on running that on there
[15:42] <charpandnl> but the system hostname is only handy for users to see where the are atm
[15:42] <Ivann> Ok
[15:43] <charpandnl> Yeah mail, web, db... all the same ;)
[15:43] <Ivann> Oh god, so that needs the advanced network configuration?
[15:43] <hamedk> yeats: http://pastebin.com/7k0v3EuX
[15:43] <charpandnl> and ofcourse, hostnames can be used for lots of things, but the are not critical to set once, you can always change it
[15:44] <Ivann> ok
[15:44] <yeats> hamedk: do 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get -f install'
[15:44] <Ivann> Thanks for the help man :)
[15:44] <hamedk> yeats : didn't work
[15:44] <charpandnl> np!
[15:44] <yeats> hamedk: same error?
[15:44] <charpandnl> now mine ;)
[15:44] <Ivann> I'm a linux noob :3
[15:45] <sar_A> hi again
[15:45] <charpandnl> I configured usb-auth succesfull, but now I want to let the Gnome-keyring to disappear on logon, without clearing the pw ;)
[15:45] <sar_A> how can I show all columns except the 2 last with awk ?
[15:45] <sar_A> with '{$NF=""; print $0}' I get all columns except last one; but I want from first one to (last-2)
[15:45] <charpandnl> gheghe :P
[15:45] <charpandnl> you'll learn quickly Ivann
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> Ivann  you were once a windows or mac beginner too
[15:46] <yeats> sar_A: try $(NF-2) to specify the second to last
[15:46] <Ivann> True MonkeyDust
[15:47] <hamedk> yeats: update says: E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[15:47] <sar_A> yeats: thank you :D
[15:47] <yeats> hamedk: can you pastebin all the output?
[15:48] <charpandnl> But anyone? =>  I configured usb-auth succesfull, but now I want to let the Gnome-keyring to disappear on logon, without clearing the pw
[15:48] <dynamism> Hi everyone. I'm a linux noob looking for help with some weird behavior installing ubuntu. Am I at the right place?
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> dynamism  let's hear it
[15:48] <yeats> dynamism: yep - go ahead and ask your questions
[15:49] <dynamism> I'm attempting a usb drive install of 13.04 on an AMD box, and I can't get past grub
[15:50] <hamedk> yeats: http://pastebin.com/jMuAWRHe
[15:50] <dynamism> VGA output is a blank screen once i exit grub
[15:50] <sar_A> yeats: in thaat case only delete the NF-n column
[15:50] <dynamism> Everything I'm seeing tells me to use the nomodeset option, but either im missing something important, or it's not fixing the problem.
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset | dynamism you mean this
[15:51] <minimec> hamedk: The medibuntu repository doesn't exist anymore. Remove this repo from your sources...
[15:51] <yeats> hamedk: what minimec said ;-)
[15:51] <hamedk> yeats: how to do it in command line?

[15:52] <Ivann> charpandnl, can I setup raid after the installation is done?
[15:52] <dynamism> MonkeyDust: maybe. It has to be !nomodeset, not nomodeset?
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> dynamism  open the link and follow the instructions, you'll see
[15:53] <charpandnl> Ivann, that's possible I think, but I'm not experienced with RAID, so don't base this decision on my words
[15:53] <Ivann> Ok

[16:30] <minimec> hamedk: I am not even sure, that you can install it with dpkg. Probably you need 'gdebi'
[16:30] <linus> hi
[16:30] <hamedk> and i don't have gdebi minimec
[16:31] <alexbst> hey opers, you are meant to pay attention - have you seen sabdfl ?

[16:31] <alexbst> I guess some channels grow too big.
[16:31] <alexbst> lol.
[16:32] <alexbst> well, if anyone ever reads their logs, let sabdfl know I called.
[16:32] <alexbst> or scrollback
[16:32] <minimec> hamedk: Did you try to use 'dpkg' to install that package I linked above?
[16:32] <alexbst> I mean, scrollback exists for a reason.
[16:32] <alexbst> or we are all just talking to ourselves.
[16:32] <hamedk> minimec: yes
[16:32] <alexbst> because as soon as we press enter it becomes scrollback.
[16:32] <alexbst> this is the latest in scrollback.
[16:32] <alexbst> am I hitting any nerves ?
[16:32] <alexbst> am I making sense ?

[17:02] <minimec> solars: I guess that would need some hardware sensors I guess. But you could make a launcher with something like this 'xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate inverted' That would rotate the desktop upside down. 'normal' would bring the default rotation back.
[17:03] <Slade-> ah looks like its not integrated into the server
[17:03] <minimec> solars: LVDS1 may be different with your device. Check 'xrandr' for the available devices.

[17:09] <solars> minimec, ok one more thing I noticed, right now if I use the touch display, it doesn't recognize scrolling/swiping of course - is it possible to configure this somehow?
[17:10] <minimec> solars: You could even do a script with if.. else... Then touching the launcher would alwys perform the action you want. LIke if 'inverted', then set 'normal', otherwise set 'inverted'
