[00:02] <Tex_Nick> eshietweb:  i would suggest trashing windoZe & keeping ubuntu ... sorry a bit of bad humor there ;-)
[00:03] <teslan7777> naa
[00:03] <Thete> Does anyone know by chance how I would go about compiling an ethernet driver from source and getting ubuntu to use it?
[00:03] <b14d3> Hi all. Having an issue where I can't boot into the GUI on my Ubuntu machine. LiveUSB I can boot just fine and works as normal. I've just installed the ATI drivers, but it does not appear to be working anymore. I know those are generally recommended against, and if so could someone direct me to a set up guide to an open source one?
[00:03] <Thete> nevermind, got it I think
[00:07] <Tex_Nick> !nomodeset | b14d3
[00:08] <b14d3> Thanks Tex_Nick, but I actually have GRUB set up to boot nomodeset already
[00:10] <Tex_Nick> b14d3:  ahh ok ... i probably can't help you then, however you need to provide more specifics ... graphics adapter, driver etc ... in order for the channel gru's to be able to hyelp you :-)
[00:11] <Shariff> Hi there
[00:11] <Tex_Nick> channel guru's ^
[00:12] <b14d3> Fair enough. The graphics card is an ATI, I honestly don't remember the specifics about it. The driver was run by just installing fglrx, I haven't really done anything else. Although interesting enough, the problem manifests the same way as what the nomodeset fixes.
[00:12] <Thete> hmm
[00:12] <Shariff> I've set up a dnsmasq server, but for some reason the hosts from /etc/hosts are not resolved on other systems on the network. Am I misunderstanding the use of dnsmasq or is there something I might be doing wrongly?
[00:12] <MrDyne> OK I got 3.8 to boot once threw recovery and selecting run but when it reboots the top of the screen is all pixel color garbage and it doesn't do anything. No network or hard drive activity.
[00:12] <MrDyne> Never boots.
[00:13] <Shariff> This is my conf file: http://pastebin.com/SCx2MmMS
[00:13] <Tex_Nick> b14d3:  in terminal ... sudo lshw -c display ... will provide info
[00:15] <eshietweb> thanks tex and t1l
[00:15] <we6jbo> Hi
[00:15] <b14d3> Thanks Tex_Nick, I always forget those commands. Need to learn them. Result: product: Turks [Radeon HD 6670]
[00:16] <Tex_Nick> eshietweb:  you're welcome :-)
[00:16] <eshietweb> can we chat later together?
[00:16] <we6jbo> Is there a way to run one command and then another command after the first one finishes?
[00:16] <phunyguy> Hello, I did a minimal ubuntu 12.04 install with xorg and xbmc, and I just want it to start xbmc from the getgo.  I created a config in /etc/init/, but for some reason I think it is being ignored.  Any ideas?
[00:17] <Shariff> phunyguy: why not install xbmcbuntu?
[00:17] <phunyguy> Because I wanted to do it the hard way.
[00:17] <Tex_Nick> eshietweb:  i'll always chat/help if i can
[00:17] <Shariff> phunyguy: I get that :D
[00:18] <Thete> Yay, ethernet
[00:18] <Thete> lol
[00:18] <Thete> I'm surprised e100e isn't included in 13.04
[00:19] <bindi> http://www.unifiedremote.com/ is there anything like this but for ubuntu? I want to control youtube specifically..
[00:19] <MrDyne> Does anyone have any ideas of stuff I can try to fix this unbooting upgrade.
[00:20] <wotuy04204t420tu> hello
[00:20] <dacdave> Where do I ask questions about connecting servers to the canonical landscape application?
[00:21] <genii> dacdave: Probably #ubuntu-server
[00:21] <Tex_Nick> b14d3:  great sir ... as i stated i'm just not good enough to help with graphics problems ... you'll need to provide that info someone who can help ... keep asking in this every so often ... i know you want the problem resolvedquickly ... sometimes just need for the right person to come along
[00:21] <b14d3> Yeah, I used to come in here all the time. Definitely a novice at best though. I'll keep trying :) It still functions via ssh and whatnot. There are just some utilities that I have that need the gui, unfortunately.
[00:22] <wotuy04204t420tu> nick whjgoiwrhgowirhgw
[00:22] <wotuy04204t420tu> NICK wofhwofjwoifjqwofjwof
[00:23] <fkingallofyourig> nice nick
[00:24] <fkingallofurmoms> much better
[00:25] <mehwork> where is the DNS zone file in ubuntu?
[00:27] <Thete> Is there a tool to configure network hardware settings in ubuntu?
[00:27] <Tex_Nick> b14d3:  also remember that google is great ... you might have to use a dozen or more search terms ... but google usually answers about 90% of my issues
[00:27] <dwxreaper> Thete: ethtool?
[00:28] <b14d3> Yeah, I'm trying something out right now. Scatter-shotting a potential solution :)
[00:28] <Thete> That's what I'm using, was wondering if there was a gui version
[00:28] <bindi> http://www.unifiedremote.com/ is there anything like this but for ubuntu? I want to control youtube specifically..
[00:29] <Thete> That or if there's a way to get ethtool to save settings so I don't have to keep resetting it every time I boot
[00:29] <Tex_Nick> b14d3:  lol ... go for it man ;-)

[00:42] <leonidas__> hola gente
[00:46] <MrDyne> I can get 3.8 to boot through the recovery menu with no problem but on a clean boot the screen dos blinks 3 times, the top of the screen goes all pixel corrupted and then nothing happens. I've done apt-get update/upgrade, regenerated the inifram.img? file for 3.8 and still wont clean boot.

[00:47] <Dreki> Can someone point me in the direction of the xubuntu channel? #xubuntu didn't work.
[00:48] <genii> Dreki:  /join #xubuntu
[00:48] <MrDyne> Does it really matter which channel? Ubuntu has more users and xubuntu just has a diffrent interface?
[00:48] <MrDyne> more users in this room..
[00:49] <Dreki> MrDyne: not really, I just like to sit in that room so If i have an XFCE related problem.
[00:50] <Dreki> or one that i can help someone else with

[01:04] <yofun> it wont let me click anywhere
[01:05] <asharas> well, I have a 500 error when accessing my server
[01:06] <deww> asharas: check the apache error logs, but look in the .htaccess file, the AuthUserFile line, put in the full path to the .htpassword file
[01:06] <asharas> hum... okay, gimme a few minutes
[01:06] <asharas> (where is the apache error log?..)
[01:07] <yofun> http://screencloud.net/v/h9Fa <---- i cant seem to be able to use that dialog i cant click anything
[01:08] <deww> asharas: you can define it, but my guess is /var/log/apache2/error_log or similiar. i haven't used apache's default setup before so i'm just going by some general rule
[01:08] <deww> er.. have't used ubuntu's default apache setup
[01:08] <unsignedint> guys guys guys halp
[01:08] <unsignedint> just kidding
[01:09] <unsignedint> has anyone had any experience installing ubuntu 13.04 on a late 2012 iMac?

[01:10] <unsignedint> asharas: whats your apache issue?
[01:10] <asharas> trying to add an authentication
[01:10] <unsignedint> asharas: what kind, basic auth?
[01:11] <asharas> yeah, but I don't know where is the problem..
[01:11] <deww> most of the 500 errors with the basic auth stuff is the wrong path to the .htpasswd file
[01:11] <Shariff> I've set up a dnsmasq server, but for some reason the hosts from /etc/hosts are not resolved on other systems on the network. Am I misunderstanding the use of dnsmasq or is there something I might be doing wrongly?

[01:15] <tking_> hello guys please how do i access  /root/.local/share/Trash/ and delete files there?
[01:15] <deww> asharas: what? you didn't like my answer? :P
[01:16] <asharas> I tried, but I have a very low skill on apache
[01:16] <asharas> I'm a newbie :)
[01:16] <asharas> and I used apache only once in my life, a few years ago and I don't remember anything
[01:17] <genii> elisa87: Looks like the problem is the 43 kernel. Did you just run dist-upgrade and new kernel installed, but haven't rebooted yet?
[01:17] <b14d3> While I'm still working on my GUI issue, I have another problem that I can't seem to fix either. Everytime I reboot, the system mounts a 1Mb "Overflow" drive to /tmp. Fortunately I have a spare hd that I can mount to it manually, but I'm not sure why it isn't using the OS hd. Any ideas on that one?
[01:17] <elisa87> genii I rebooted
[01:18] <voidray> elisa87, paste /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current-updates/304.88/build/make.log
[01:18] <asharas> unsignedint: everything went wrong when I added the auth lines and the scgi part
[01:18] <genii> elisa87: What says result of uname -r    ?
[01:18] <voidray> We need more info.
[01:18] <genii> Probably no kernel headers for the 43 one.
[01:19] <asharas> any idea unsignedint or deww ?
[01:20] <genii> ( seeing as it says the 44 kernel headers are obsolete and can be removed, but no such for the 43 yet it tries to build for it, indicating 43 kernel is installed )

[01:21] <deww> asharas: look at /var/log/apache2/error.log (cat, more, less)
[01:21] <elisa87> genii: 3.2.0-43-generic
[01:21] <samgabbay> Someone help mehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/307951/how-do-i-fix-the-weired-skype-noises
[01:22] <genii> elisa87: Odd, since later kernels than that are installed.
[01:23] <elisa87> genii: they are not working that's why I am using version 43
[01:23] <elisa87> please let me know if there might be a solution to this genii
[01:23] <tgm4883> Running into a weird issue here, my wireless disconnects until I turn it off and on again (via keyboard keys). The last message in syslog when this happens is " wpa_supplicant[1383]: wlan0: WPA: Group rekeying completed with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [GTK=CCMP]"
[01:23] <tgm4883> This is on 13.04
[01:24] <tgm4883> Are there any other logs I should be looking at?
[01:24] <asharas> deww: can't access the passwd file, maybe because my home is encryptfs?
[01:25] <deww> asharas: well what are t he file permissions of your directory and that file?
[01:25] <sethj> tgm4883 : Does /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log exist?
[01:26] <genii> elisa87: I would suggest, to make sure all the proper stuff is installed:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic build-essential linux-source   ...then to try again with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[01:26] <tgm4883> sethj, nope
[01:27] <genii> elisa87: Actually, the last command would be: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current  ...since it's installed, just not correctly
[01:27] <asharas> deww: where can I put the htpasswd file? my home is encrypted and /root is unreachable to the apache user
[01:28] <tgm4883> sethj, I seem to have wlan0 entries in kern.log, I'll check that log again the next time the wireless dies (give it about 5 minutes)
[01:28] <craigbass1976> Anyone know why an ssh session to GoDaddy stays open fine, but an sshfs mount dies after a couple of minutes?
[01:29] <deww> asharas: /var/www would be ok
[01:29] <sethj> tgm4883: Humm. OK. I suppose you're configuring your wireless through the network connections manager? (GUI method)
[01:29] <tgm4883> sethj, yes
[01:29] <tgm4883> sethj, it's WPA2 Enterprise
[01:29] <deww> asharas: i dont think it's the encryption, but most likely the proper permissions. also you look into how to prevent people from  being able to read your password file.
[01:30] <Mark_> craigbass1976: Some kind of a timeout?
[01:30] <Mark_> craigbass1976: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1263543 (?)
[01:31] <sethj> tgm4883: OK. Do you know what wireless card you have? (lspci -nn)

[01:32] <asharas> yeeepeeeeee
[01:33] <Epoxx> Hi everyone. I'm trying real hard to install Ubuntu on my desktop but all I run into are issues. I was able to get it installed with EFI, but now I can'T connect to internet with neither my wifi card nor my ethernet card, any ideas?
[01:33] <asharas> deww: I found the problem: accessing the htpasswd file
[01:33] <asharas> it works :)
[01:33] <craigbass1976> Epoxx, but it's installed?
[01:33] <sethj> tgm4883: What is the output of:
[01:33] <sethj> ls /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/driver/module/drivers
[01:33] <sethj> ?
[01:33] <Epoxx> yes it's installed. I first thought it was an issue with version 13, but now I have v12 and its the same dead
[01:33] <Epoxx> dead -> deal
[01:34] <Epoxx> give me a second (this is my laptop :) )
[01:34] <tgm4883> sethj, pci:iwlwifi
[01:34] <deww> asharas: also look here http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/security-with-htaccess.html#Prevent_access_htaccess_htpasswd_files, i'm pretty sure your config as is, allows people read your password file if they figure out the name.
[01:34] <sethj> tgm4883: Interesting. We're both using similar network cards and the same driver..
[01:35] <Epoxx> I don'T even have wlan0 , I only have eth0, so I'm assuming I don't have the proper drivers for my wifi card. Still can't connect using ethernet though :(
[01:36] <asharas> deww: should I chown my .htpasswd file? and then chmod it?
[01:37] <craigbass1976> Epoxx, kind of stupid, but have you disabled wifi with the Fn +whatever key combination?
[01:37] <Epoxx> its a desktop, so no
[01:37] <genii> Epoxx: If it's connected to some dhcp server like on a router, maybe try:  sudo dhclient -r eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0   ... then see if it got a number with: ifconfig
[01:38] <craigbass1976> Epoxx, ah.  Wow, that's really weird then
[01:38] <Epoxx> its connected to my laptop using a network bridge (might be the culprit, although I used this often with windows)
[01:39] <deww> asharas: most apache default setups restricts people from actually being able to read files start with .ht, so you should probably just rename it from .rutorrent-htpasswd to .ht-whatever-you-want. just make sure to change it in your config and restart apache
[01:39] <sethj> tgm4883: Unfortunately I need to go. You might consider asking a question at askubuntu.com with the debugging details.
[01:40] <elisa87> genii: nothing gets installed :( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763329/

[01:59] <Dreki> Can anyone tell me what libnotify1 is?
[02:00] <Dreki> I am getting it as a missing dependancy for a package
[02:00] <Nimble> Dreki: it's the library responsible for popping notification bubbles up in your top right corner
[02:00] <Nimble> what package?
[02:00] <somsip> !find libnotify | Dreki
[02:00] <Nimble> you should have it installed
[02:00] <aamer> again, using 12.04 fall-back gnome classic, my problem is I don't know how to increase GNOME application menu's height, please take a look https://imageshack.com/a/img694/9596/ri6.png
[02:01] <Dreki> its likely not installed for me because im using xubuntu.
[02:01] <Nimble> it's not unity specific
[02:01] <Nimble> most distros use it
[02:01] <genii> Dreki: Looks like it wants something from 3 generations ago of libnotify since it's up to libnotify4 now
[02:01] <Nimble> and that ^^^
[02:02] <Dreki> Its pidgin-gfire an xfire plugin for pidgin
[02:02] <Dreki> I still have a couple of old friends i keep in touch with on xfire
[02:02] <elisa87> genii: any though on that?
[02:03] <genii> elisa87: So you ran now the correct command with the * at the end as I described?
[02:03] <Nimble> Dreki: you can try installing libnotify1
[02:04] <Nimble> E: Package 'libnotify1' has no installation candidate
[02:04] <Nimble> maybe not
[02:04] <Dreki> Nimble: do you think that will mess up anything with my current setup?
[02:04] <Nimble> can't say for sure
[02:04] <genii> elisa87: Because in your paste, it said: rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current-updates/kernel-3.2.0-43': No such file or directory     because you wrote: sudo rm /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current-updates/kernel-3.2.0-43  instead of: sudo rm /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current-updates/kernel-3.2.0-43*
[02:04] <Dreki> Nimble: and would 4 conflict with 1
[02:05] <Nimble> I don't think so because the packages have different numbers
[02:05] <elisa87> genii: is this ok?
[02:05] <Nimble> but I'm not an apt expert
[02:05] <elisa87> is this ok? genii http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763370/
[02:05] <Dreki> well thanks for the advice
[02:05] <genii> elisa87: Yes.
[02:06] <Nimble> you might have to find it outside of the repos somewhere, maybe there is a ppa with it
[02:06] <Nimble> good luck :V
[02:06] <genii> elisa87: So then now: sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic build-essential linux-source ...then to try again with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[02:07] <elisa87> genii: I tried again but yet I have errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763372/
[02:08] <genii> elisa87: Ah, you also have nvidia-current-updates installed
[02:08] <elisa87> genii: I couldn't remove it using this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763373/
[02:09] <genii> elisa87: You forgot the "s" ... is updates  not update
[02:13] <genii> elisa87: So did the command:  sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current-updates       ...complete successfully yet?
[02:13] <genii> ( with the s at the end ;)   )
[02:14] <elisa87> genii: yes done without error now I should install nvidia? how was the command?
[02:15] <genii> elisa87: First, make sure you have all the right pieces
[02:15] <genii> elisa87: So then now: sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic build-essential linux-source ...then to try again with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[02:16] <genii> It will say dkms is already installed, etc, thats all fine. Should continue on to set up the other stuff if it's not there.

[02:19] <akurilin> Quick question: is there an up-to-date list of Ubuntu friendly hardware components out there? I've seen the list of pre-made machines on the official Ubuntu side, but that doesn't help me too much if I'm building my own.
[02:20] <max1> I'm going to be Building a Computer this summer. would you choose intel or AMD
[02:20] <genii> elisa87: Did the commands I gave you finish yet?
[02:20] <max1> for my Ubuntu Machine
[02:20] <boink__> hi everyone. I have a clean install of 12.04 that doesn't recognize my network cable as plugged
[02:20] <genii> ( I want to go watch last half of the third period of Chicago-Boston hockey soon)
[02:20] <boink__> ifconfig only shows lo, no eth0. any ideas?
[02:20] <IsaacLewis> I use amd and my computer is pretty slow, I think you should use intel
[02:21] <max1> i5?
[02:21] <elisa87> isn't debootstrap related to Ubuntu? I have created a disk image and mounted on /mnt/mount_x86 by using sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/mount_x86 but it just created the lost&found folder and not the rest of the folders...somebody told me that I shoudl use debootstrap for creating those normal folders like bin , lib, lib64 ,opt, etc...anyway what's your idea genii?
[02:21] <max1> IsaacLewis: okay thanks
[02:22] <elisa87> genii: no unfortunately not http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763389/
[02:22] <genii> elisa87: I'm not going to get sidetracked into discussing debootstrap with you, because I intend to leave soon, assuming your nvidia situation becomes resolved. I'm missing watching a hockey game which is not on for much longer.
[02:22] <elisa87> ah ok that's alright
[02:23] <max1> I wish Ubuntu had more users than Mac OSx
[02:23] <IsaacLewis> Ari-Yang: it says E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[02:23] <genii> elisa87: Before you ran the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current... did you run the other command I gave? eg: sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic build-essential linux-source
[02:24] <elisa87> yes genii and it was successfull without any error
[02:24] <genii> elisa87: If so please pastebin the result from that
[02:24] <genii> Ah, OK.
[02:24] <max1> I have a question sorta off track.  I have a clean install of 12.04 that doesn't recognize my network cable as plugged
[02:26] <boink__> ifconfig only shows lo, no eth0. any ideas?
[02:26] <max1> i dont think it shows eth0
[02:26] <genii> elisa87: It's a bit of a puzzle.  I have to leave now, but am in here every weekday. So if your situation is unresolved tomorrow, we shall continue
[02:26] <IsaacLewis> My software manager isn't working, when I try to download/install something it doesn't work\
[02:26] <yofun> hello im kinda stupid but do i include passwords in ftp:// like this? ftp://user:pass@host ?
[02:27] <genii> yofun: Yes, that's the syntax
[02:27] <boink__> yofun, I am no guru but try it without the password and it will ask for it upon connection
[02:27] <elisa87> GuilhermeCunha: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763395/
[02:27] <elisa87> thanks genii good night
[02:27] <IsaacLewis> My software manager isn't working, when I try to download/install something it doesn't work
[02:28] <max1> Is Raring Ringtail 13.04 a nightly build?
[02:28] <yofun> ah thanks boink__ :P im useing my ftp web server as a back up :p
[02:28] <SonikkuAmerica> max1: Nope, it's stable. Head for cdimage.u.c and get yours today
[02:28] <SonikkuAmerica> !isitou
[02:28] <boink__> glad i could help
[02:28] <SonikkuAmerica> !isitout
[02:28] <uw> HI i'm using 12.04 and running cmus v2.4.3.  that is an old version and would like to update.  do you know how to do this?
[02:28] <max1> alright thanks
[02:31] <boink__> maybe a dumb question but can i just edit /etc/network/interfaces and add eth0  and dhcp to it?
[02:33] <kde185> is anyone aware of what might cause gdisk to say that the gpt table is corrupt after I just used gdisk to create a new table?
[02:34] <Cpudan80> Hey --- how can I setup a folder so that all files created in the folder take on the permissions associated with the folder?
[02:34] <kde185> this might be happening on 2 identical drives
[02:35] <Cpudan80> Ex. If folderX is owned jsmit:users -- i want all files created in the folder (by anyone) to be associated with the users group
[02:35] <Cpudan80> obviously the user will be difference
[02:35] <Cpudan80> different*
[02:37] <resting> so..i'm going to upgrade a remote system…can anyone advise me how to backup the current system to my local computer so that if anything goes wrong i could easily restore it?
[02:38] <kde185> Cpudan80: you'll want to look into using acl's to accomplish this.  I'd give more information if I had any but I haven't really used it.  Link: http://superuser.com/questions/151911/how-to-make-new-file-permission-inherit-from-the-parent-directory
[02:41] <Sinful_Pancakes> Hiya
[02:41] <excalibr> Is there way to run text based installer on from the regular desktop iso?
[02:42] <felixonmars> hi, three of my ubuntu box suddenly got permission 754 for /etc, which made many services failed. i didn't do it myself and i didn't find anything else changed, no clue in auth.log etc
[02:42] <winegoddess> is there a good resource for setting up my ubuntu server for multiple domains?   tools, security, best practices?
[02:42] <felixonmars> winegoddess: all domains owned by you?
[02:44] <Sinful_Pancakes> How would I go about installing Ubuntu from my hard drive?
[02:44] <winegoddess> hi felixonmars - yes. it is on a backspace server that i have
[02:45] <winegoddess> so, my question is really set up of server, as well as setup of domains. ny tolls to help make this easy if i have 20+ domains i wish to setup which are all similar setups (wordpress, php database)
[02:45] <felixonmars> use something like cpanel?
[02:46] <Sinful_Pancakes> Hello
[02:46] <Sinful_Pancakes> ?
[02:46] <winegoddess> hi felixonmars - i didn't setup cpanel.  but something script wise, that lets me set up domains quicker/easier.   and then 2nd question, general setup concerns for security...
[02:47] <winegoddess> i just heard of http://tuxlite.com/about/ today
[02:47] <DarkAceLaptop> how do I install a .deb via command line?
[02:48] <somsip> DarkAceLaptop: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[02:48] <DarkAceLaptop> thanks
[02:49] <DarkAceLaptop> dpkg-deb (subprocess): cannot copy archive member from '/home/justin/Downloads/steam_latest.deb' to decompressor pipe: unexpected end of file or stream
[02:49] <DarkAceLaptop> perhaps a corrupted download?
[02:49] <DarkAceLaptop> the steam install popped up; should I continue, or redownload?
[02:50] <DarkAceLaptop> s/install/installer
[02:50] <felixonmars> winegoddess: or something like openpanel, zpanel, webmin, ajenti ... all free
[02:50] <alexandros_c> good night, I am using ubuntu 13.04 amd64 and I have installed Java EE 7. I am having a problem getting glassfish updatetool to work. Everytime I run updatetool, it tells me that my os is 64 and not configured for 32. However, the multiarch packages are installed. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?
[02:50] <somsip> DarkAceLaptop: doesn't sound good. I'd suggest downloading again
[02:50] <felixonmars> DarkAceLaptop: i'll recommend a redownload
[02:51] <winegoddess> felixonmars: of those do you have a preference? also any good sites for resources such as this?
[02:51] <winegoddess> other than wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_hosting_control_panels
[02:51] <felixonmars> winegoddess: not really, as im not running php sites :p they all have homepages and demos, if you gonna try
[02:52] <winegoddess> trying to understand would this be one per domain? or can i set it up somehow (using some tools) so that i can create a new domain in the server and have it automatically install a cpanel with it?
[02:53] <winegoddess> I'm interested in both sides, the server setup in general (security as well) and then making it easier to setup new domains with a standard setup
[02:53] <winegoddess> rather than individually
[02:54] <saul> spanish
[02:54] <mop> any picture manager to find images by resolution?
[02:55] <marcelomauro> I need some help. Accidentaly I have installed grub on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb. There is how to unistall grub without loose my windows system?
[02:55] <somsip> mop: google images search tools has a size dropdown
[02:55] <somsip> mop: or do you want a scraper?
[02:55] <mop> somsip, I mean a native app
[02:55] <mop> for my picturds
[02:55] <fowl_> hi i cant find out how to setup the keyboard hotkeys for a Gateway LT4009u
[02:55] <fowl_> anybody know
[02:55] <felixonmars> winegoddess: no, you will just create & manage websites (incl. domains) on cpanel itself, if your server have cpanel installed
[02:56] <winegoddess> so it is more like a Web Host Manager (WHM) than a cpanel used for individual domains?
[02:56] <felixonmars> marcelomauro: you need your windows recovery disc to fix the boot record
[02:56] <winegoddess> sorry i only have used cpanel for one domain, not a server
[02:56] <felixonmars> winegoddess: cpanel is multi-user program
[02:57] <felixonmars> winegoddess: and it's fine if you want all your domains in one user
[02:57] <somsip> mop: I missed the obvious. For a local search or internet search?
[02:58] <mop> you know like image files on my hard drive
[02:58] <felixonmars> winegoddess: https://blog.cpanel.net/managing-multiple-domains-from-a-single-cpanel-account/ \official blog
[02:58] <fowl_> hi i cant find out how to setup the keyboard hotkeys for a Gateway LT4009u
[02:58] <marcelomauro> felixonmars, I have no disk because I upgrade my windows from win7 to win 8
[02:59] <winegoddess> so sorry felixonmars - for my misunderstanding.   i have a server, and i wish to have ~20 domains setup. i was just going to have ssh and ftp, but perhaps a cpanel will be good to allow others a UI for access.   are you saying i setup 1 cpanel for the server and everyone access it (not what i want) or that setup 1 cpanel, and someone then further configure to setup the domains? (i justhavent seen a cpanel like that if i a
[02:59] <winegoddess> understanding correctly)
[02:59] <Dreki> Does anyone know of an application that could be used to make a professional looking pdf like this one?:http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6781003/EvE/Quick%20Reference%20Sheet%20by%20Korgan%20Nailo.pdf
[02:59] <DarkAceLaptop> am I supposed to build tar.gz's myself, then?
[02:59] <felixonmars> marcelomauro: if i recall correctly, you could download a tool from microsoft's website to create a usb stick to recover this
[03:00] <DarkAceLaptop> also, the download was corrupt, somsip, felixonmars
[03:00] <DarkAceLaptop> it was missing 1/4 of itself
[03:00] <Novimundus> Hi everyone. I can't for the life of me figure out how to update my OpenGL drivers past 1.4. My understanding is that these drivers for Intel HD 4000 integrated gpu's come with the kernel...yet there's a later release? How do I get said later release?
[03:01] <winegoddess> felixonmars: thanks for that link - i did not know about this approach
[03:01] <felixonmars> winegoddess: you setup a cpanel, then everything's up to you. if you want different guys to control different sites and domains, just register them individual accounts on your installed cpanel
[03:02] <felixonmars> DarkAceLaptop: just redownload the deb file and install the not corrupted one
[03:02] <DarkAceLaptop> yeah
[03:02] <DarkAceLaptop> done
[03:02] <DarkAceLaptop> are tar.gz files packages, or just compressed files that you don't install?
[03:03] <DarkAceLaptop> install like .deb files, that is
[03:03] <somsip> mop: find will do that. eg: find . -type f -size +1G
[03:03] <somsip> mop: you just need to adapt to only find files ending in jpg|png|gif etc
[03:03] <itsnotlupus> Hi. are there ways to tweak how ubuntu thinks my battery is charging/discharging?
[03:03] <somsip> DarkAceLaptop: you extract then with tar zxf filename
[03:04] <felixonmars> DarkAceLaptop: sorry i didnt catch it. deb files are just compressed archive in a normative way
[03:07] <itsnotlupus> Alright. I'm going to try playing with TLP. still open to suggestions though.
[03:13] <Katronix> Hi all, I have a laptop that I installed Ubuntu on, during the install phase it detected my wireless nic fine, however now it keeps asking me for the wifi pw even though its been put in correctly. Any suggestions?
[03:15] <boink__> Katronix, is it the right kind of password set (WEP vs WAP, etc) ?
[03:16] <Katronix> boink__ I'm assuming so it never asked
[03:16] <boink__> no idea then :)
[03:16] <boink__> i am noob :P
[03:17] <boink__> why is my ifconfig only showing lo and no eth0 ? clean install of 12.04
[03:17] <boink__> i am lost
[03:17] <Katronix> boink__ would assume it doesn't see your nic
[03:18] <boink__> nic as in network information center?
[03:18] <boink__> a dns problem you mean?
[03:18] <Katronix> nic = network interface card
[03:19] <boink__> so updating the drivers of my NIC should do the trick?
[03:19] <Katronix> yep
[03:19] <nevyn> boink__: ifconfig only shows up interfaces
[03:19] <nevyn> try ifconfig -a or (better) ip link
[03:20] <boink__> uplink 1: lo: <LOOPBACK>   blhalhblahbalhba and then 00:00:00 all zeroes
[03:20] <boink__> ip link
[03:20] <boink__> i read on google a lot of people having this problem but couldn't really fix it with any of the suggestions
[03:32] <penos> hello comrades
[03:36] <zivester> anyone know how to restore reFind on a Macbook after upgrading OSX ?
[03:36] <penos> ???
[03:37] <Katronix> can anyone offer any suggestions? during installation had no issues finding wireless nic, now it keeps asking me for my wireless pw not accepting the correct pw
[03:40] <itsnotlupus> Ok, my /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/power_now contains a stupid high value when my laptop is charging. Is there a known way to change that? It's causing ubuntu to think I'll have a full charge in 3 minutes rather than the two hours it actually takes.
[03:44] <servvs> so I haven't been able to use my TTY terminals since I upgraded to 13.04, is this a common issue and if so, how can I fix it?
[03:46] <Katronix> servvs what happens when you try?
[03:46] <somsip> zivester: probably, a channel for OSX support. Not here
[03:46] <servvs> when I log in, it logs in just fine but instantly goes back to requesting a login
[03:47] <boink__> is there a way to connect ossx and ubuntu via USB cable?
[03:47] <zivester> somsip, eh, its not.. reFind is used to boot ubuntu... but i figured it out, just had to run install.sh again
[03:47] <boink__> no pen drive, no network in ubuntu, no cd-r on the osx :(
[03:47] <somsip> zivester: so it is. I never heard of it before. now I have :)
[03:48] <histo> servvs: sudo service tty1 status
[03:49] <servvs> histo: tty1 start/running, process 3746
[03:49] <itsnotlupus> haha. I have an ideapad, but this could be related http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/battery.c#L99
[03:49] <Katronix> can anyone offer any suggestions? during installation had no issues finding wireless nic, now it keeps asking me for my wireless pw not accepting the correct pw
[03:50] <histo> servvs: do you have anything goofy in your .profile or .bashrc ?
[03:50] <servvs> alias ls="ls --color=always"
[03:50] <servvs> alias l="ls --color=always"
[03:50] <servvs> just those 2 lines
[03:51] <histo> servvs: do you have .bash_profile  ?
[03:51] <servvs> yes, same lines in it
[03:53] <histo> servvs: and a .profile?
[03:53] <AdventureTime> Does anybody here use Ncmpcpp, I'm having some troubles getting it to work !
[03:53] <AdventureTime> anyone ?
[03:54] <servvs> histo: I don't have a .profile
[03:55] <histo> servvs: interesting.... regardless I have no idea what is causing the login to restart.  Let me poke around a bit hold up.
[03:55] <|kira> I'm having a hard time choosing mint cinnamon... or ubuntu with cinnamon... I'm not sure will be more stable.
[03:55] <marcelomauro> I accidentally installed grub in /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb. Can I remove this without erase my windows system? I found something on internet but it needs a install cd. I have no one.
[03:56] <histo> marcelomauro: you'd have to use a windows disk to fixmbr c:  or whatever their command is
[03:56] <|kira> you could just leave the grub there and put another where you want
[03:56] <histo> marcelomauro: doesn't really matter. If you want grub to work it needs to be installed to the bootable disk of your computer.
[03:57] <histo> servvs: did you try searching askubuntu.com ?
[03:57] <marcelomauro> histo: I installed ubuntu on extern hd...
[03:58] <histo> marcelomauro: how do you intend on booting to it?  just selecting the external from bios?
[03:58] <grimeton> marcelomauro: the later windows versions use the bootrec tool
[03:59] <marcelomauro> histo: I have used like this without problem, but I should have installed grub on /dev/sdb instead /dev/sda. It was my mistake
[03:59] <histo> servvs: could be something goofy with pam.  Have you checked dmesg or /var/log/messages ?
[04:00] <digs> So, I installed #29-Ubuntu SMP on AWS. I log in and there are 68 processes running and 226MB of ram already being used! What can I disable or uninstall to lower those numbers drastically?
[04:00] <|kira> cli ubuntu sing 226MB???
[04:00] <digs> I only need to be able to run apache and varnish on this, but I want as much resources free for those as possible.
[04:00] <nevyn> digs: used?
[04:00] <histo> marcelomauro: well /j #windows they will be able to explain the process of restoring your MBR on /dev/sda  You need to boot to a windows disk or system repair disk to fix it.
[04:00] <digs> yes...
[04:00] <digs> KiB Mem:    603840 total,   225608 used,   378232 free,     8676 buffers
[04:00] <nevyn> digs: what does the second line of free say?
[04:00] <digs> That is from top.
[04:01] <elisa87> what's the solution to this? warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
[04:01] <nevyn> screw top. what does free say?
[04:01] <digs> Mem:        603840     225632     378208          0       8676     170496
[04:01] <digs> -/+ buffers/cache:      46460     557380
[04:01] <nevyn> so 46meg used.
[04:01] <digs> oh.
[04:01] <nevyn> meh. seems legit
[04:02] <digs> gotcha. I didn't realize that. Thanks for the clarification. That seems _much_ better to me :/
[04:02] <nevyn> so you could start by interpeting the data correctly also http://www.linuxatemyram.com
[04:02] <tones>  /join #wikipedia
[04:02] <digs> Still, 68 processes, surely some of those could be knocked off.
[04:02] <nevyn> possibly. but probably not.
[04:02] <somsip> digs: seems about right. I have about 80 with apache and a few other things running on Ubuntu EC2
[04:02] <digs> I know it is right.
[04:03] <nevyn> digs: so lots of stuff is running..
[04:03] <digs> I am saying, there has to be a way to lower it. FreeBSD can run on half this on a base install.
[04:03] <Safa_[A_boy]> Hi, I have more than one kernel on my computer, but I can't select witch one should boot.... the menu has disappeared!
[04:03] <nevyn> you've got a bunch of gettys cron, upstart syslog etc
[04:04] <|kira> Is there an ubuntu iso that is free software only and no legal BS for distribution?
[04:04] <elisa87> histo: do you know why am I receiving this  ? mounting filesystems...152 warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such      ...file or directory
[04:04] <elisa87>
[04:04] <digs> I was simply asking if any gurus in here knew of a few things that are not really needed that could be killed off.
[04:04] <histo> elisa87: what command are you using to mount?
[04:04] <histo> !atemyram | digs
[04:04] <xangua> |kira: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
[04:05] <GunArm1> /etc/rc.local is supposed to run at startup right?  why does the inside of it say it "executes at the end of each multiuser runlevel" what does that mean?
[04:05] <b-ot> GunArm1: I am not in it.
[04:05] <histo> GunArm1: yes it runs at start.  There are different runlevels
[04:05] <somsip> GunArm1: it doesn't run at some runlevels, such as single user
[04:06] <elisa87> histo: can you please look at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763549/ ? I used sudo mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/mount_x86  and then used debootstrap and binded dev , proc and sys
[04:06] <|kira> xangua: tris is a nice distro, but i need a bs-free ubuntu iso... hmmm....
[04:07] <histo> elisa87: what are you trying to do?
[04:08] <histo> elisa87: mtab is just a status file btw.
[04:08] <histo> |kira: The main iso contains only free software.  You could not enable the other repos if you want.
[04:09] <histo> |kira: http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/licensing
[04:10] <|kira> histo: Ah, good, stock image should be ok then.
[04:10] <elisa87> I have created that bootable linux disk and I am trying to run the binaries inside it using the simulator but the binaries are not found from within the simulator inside the disk! histo
[04:11] <histo> !free > |kira
[04:12] <histo> servvs: I got nothing I would search askubuntu or in the forums.
[04:12] <histo> elisa87: why are you creating /dev/loop1?
[04:12] <histo> elisa87: and what simulator?
[04:13] <elisa87> histo gem5 I will show you the log now soon
[04:13] <elisa87> I created a disk image formated with fs ext2 and put it in /dev/loop1
[04:15] <histo> elisa87: I would ask here http://gem5.org/Mailing_Lists
[04:15] <elisa87> they answer so late,..sometimes they don't answer at all!
[04:16] <histo> elisa87: when you say you "put it in /dev/loop1"  with what procedure?
[04:17] <elisa87> histo:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763563/ everything regarding boot of linux works fine except that it doesn't find the binaries ...my mount point is /mnt/mount_x86 and binaries are in /rodinia/openmp/backprop folder ...please let me know how is your idea
[04:17] <servvs> thanks for the help histo, will search around some more
[04:18] <histo> elisa87: are the binaries in /mnt/mount_x86  ?? I'm confused I know nothing of gem5
[04:18] <elisa87> histo the binaries are in /mnt/mount_x86/rodinia/openmp/backprop folder but my mount point is /mnt/mount_x86
[04:19] <histo> elisa87: This is an issue with whatever software you are using.
[04:19] <histo> elisa87: what does any of this have to do with ubuntu?
[04:19] <elisa87> because it's about mounting ... I have created the disk image using ubuntu
[04:19] <BabyCat> hey guys, I'm on ubuntu 12.04.. I go to a specific site, called Eli the Computer guy.. and for whatever reason, the site damages my web browser from using the internet.. this happens only with that site.. then I have to restart ubuntu to get back my internet connection.. this happens with no other site.. anyone have any ideas what this might be? I have my DOM storage on the browser turned to false and I use privoxy as a system wide proxy and that seems to
[04:19] <BabyCat> have something to do with it.. all my other network connections like the software center seem to work but firefox seems to clunk out before needing to reboot the entire system. This look familiar to anyone???

[04:21] <histo> elisa87: there are also help files on the gem5 website http://www.m5sim.org/Ubuntu_Disk_Image_for_ARM_Full_System
[04:21] <BabyCat> It's like the site works for a couple minutes then kraps out the web browser all together before having to be restarted completely to get it back.. and it only happens with this site.. how strange is this..
[04:23] <elisa87> histo: I was already following that!
[04:23] <histo> elisa87: I have no idea. Perhaps try in ##linux
[04:26] <Sir-Litepool> i did some updating
[04:26] <Sir-Litepool> and now my mysql is messed up
[04:26] <Sir-Litepool> Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
[04:27] <KrisHansen> I still cant find the file i need to edit in order to get my links in irc to open Firefox browser, when i click a link it opens abiword blank doc. anyone know of this or how to fix?
[04:28] <histo> Sir-Litepool: sudo service mysqld status
[04:28] <Katronix> my boot disk can connect wirelessly successfully but the installed version can't is there anything I can do with the boot disk that would tell the installed version how to work? anything I can save to a usb stick etc?
[04:28] <Sir-Litepool> i tried manually connecting

[04:29] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: anything in /var/log/mysql/error.log ?
[04:29] <theadmin> KrisHansen: Make sure System Settings -> Details -> Default applications is set to Firefox, like this: http://i.imgur.com/k0FXKm1.png
[04:29] <histo> Sir-Litepool: do you have mysql-server installed and is it running?
[04:30] <Sir-Litepool> yeah i do, error log has a lot of things like 4985 lines
[04:30] <KrisHansen> theadmin: checked that already it is not the issue.
[04:30] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: anything that tells you the problem? Maybe if you pastebin the last few lines?
[04:30] <somsip> !pastebin | Sir-Litepool
[04:30] <theadmin> KrisHansen: Hm, what is of your IRC client?
[04:30] <KrisHansen> theadmin: Konversation
[04:31] <histo> theadmin: /version KrisHansen
[04:31] <Tex_Nick> BabyCat "Eli The Computer Guy" is that the guy with little head hair, a beard and a ear to ear mouth full of white teeth ... if so ...he's supposed to be a network type guy, you might ask him that question ... orview his videos on youTube
[04:31] <Sir-Litepool> the thing is, i did sudo apt-add-repository ppa:purplekarrot/ppa
[04:31] <Katronix> anyone?
[04:31] <Sir-Litepool> sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:31] <theadmin> histo: Eh, easier to ask :D /version can sometimes fail
[04:31] <KrisHansen> theadmin: it might have something to do with that i ran the sudo apt-get lubuntu-desktop, once that it changed
[04:31] <Sir-Litepool> and recently it was stalling so i rebooted it
[04:31] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: and what that that install? /var/log/apt/history will tell you
[04:31] <theadmin> KrisHansen: Ah, hm, I think that has it's own browser preference somewhere, Konversation that is
[04:31] <histo> !ppa | Sir-Litepool
[04:31] <Katronix> my DVD boot disk can connect wirelessly successfully but the installed version can't is there anything I can do with the boot disk that would tell the installed version how to work? anything I can save to a usb stick etc?
[04:32] <kde185> anyone know why webmin is showing available partitions for a new software raid device as FAT32?  I just cleared the mbr and gpt tables and create a new partition on the driver as "linux raid"
[04:32] <histo> Katronix: you need firmware
[04:32] <walltender> Will some one take a look at my problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/306920/networking-prevents-system-to-shutdown?
[04:32] <theadmin> KrisHansen: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/extragear-network/konversation/webbrowser.html
[04:32] <histo> Katronix: lspci | grep Network     What is your wireless chipset?
[04:32] <Katronix> histo rtl8723ae
[04:32] <Sir-Litepool> somsip, http://paste2.org/DddsIsU2
[04:33] <histo> Katronix: iwlist scan
[04:34] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: no mysql from what I can see. So what's in the error log?
[04:34] <Sir-Litepool> somsip, http://paste2.org/ZPn4yOZ9
[04:34] <Katronix> histo its not installed :( I don't have a way of giving it a wired connection :(
[04:35] <histo> Katronix: what version are you running?
[04:35] <KrisHansen> theadmin: it was a Konversation settings issue , damn i almost checked that last night when i was stoned, but then i woke up today and havent fired up yet so my brain is still in the bad dreams mode. need my spliff for this morning and thank you i got it .
[04:35] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: is there a file at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock? who is it owned by?
[04:35] <Katronix> histo 13.04
[04:35] <histo> Katronix: your card should work in any 3.8+ linux kernel
[04:35] <Katronix> histo it sees the card, but I get caught in an endless loop of "what's the pw"
[04:36] <Sir-Litepool> somsip, no such file and the directory is symlinked to /run/mysqld
[04:36] <histo> Katronix: so the issue isn't with your card.
[04:36] <histo> Katronix: make sure you are typing the password correctly
[04:36] <Katronix> histo possibly not, I just know it worked fine during the installation, checked the pw several times
[04:37] <histo> Katronix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131919/wireless-keeps-asking-for-password
[04:37] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: you have something to work with now. I'm getting lots of google results with that error. I can sit here and say 'try this, try this' but it might be easier if you see if anything fits
[04:37] <histo> somsip: Sir-Litepool sounds like he has ppa hell
[04:38] <KrisHansen> So here is what happens, you install Ubuntu 13.04 and then you install Konversation irc. then you apt-get install lubuntu-desktop, something in that install will change your settings in Konversation to default web browser "not clicked"=nothing, and it will open an abiword doc.
[04:38] <somsip> histo: indeed. I think it's time for him to research more, and if it all goes pear shaped because of the PPA...well !ppa and all that
[04:38] <histo> elisa87: may I ask what you are trying to use gem5 for? Perhaps there is a better tool out there.
[04:38] <Sir-Litepool> somsip, any way i could backup the database and reinstall mysql
[04:39] <histo> KrisHansen: so change you default browser
[04:39] <BabyCat> is anyone here
[04:39] <BabyCat> asdfas
[04:39] <KrisHansen> histo: i did and theadminalready helped me and it solved the issue
[04:39] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: you could try reinstalling mysql-server. If you backup /var/lib/mysql you will have all of the data files in there. But YMMV and all that
[04:39] <BabyCat> is this working
[04:39] <somsip> !test | BabyCat
[04:40] <Sir-Litepool> somsip, i will do that then, what do you mean by YMMV?
[04:40] <somsip> Sir-Litepool: Your Mileage May Vary, eg: don't expect a successful result
[04:40] <Sir-Litepool> oh, damn this is just my luck
[04:41] <Katronix> histo no luck
[04:43] <histo> Katronix: did you try the multiple answers there?
[04:43] <histo> Katronix: if so perhaps try using another method for connecting other than network-manager
[04:44] <Katronix> histo from the install dvd can I install that tool you recommended since I can see the net from it?
[04:44] <histo> Katronix: or the nm-cli command
[04:45] <histo> Katronix: sorry nmcli
[04:45] <Sir-Litepool> histo any idea what i should do
[04:46] <Sir-Litepool> i think i run out of luck
[04:46] <histo> !ppapurge | Sir-Litepool
[04:46] <Jesse_V> I have a question about package naming conventions, which I found confusing. If (theoretically) I coded up a project, which I call "derp", and it's version 0.05, and the package doesn't exist in either Debian or Ubuntu, how do I name it? "derp-0.05-0ubuntu1" is my current guess
[04:47] <meatmanek> Jesse_V you're building your own .deb for it?
[04:47] <Jesse_V> yeah meatmanek, I will but I need to get the naming right
[04:47] <meatmanek> so everything after the - is pretty much up to the distro maintainer
[04:48] <Jesse_V> dh_make generates a changelog file, which has a version number in it
[04:48] <meatmanek> so the ubuntu project might have -0ubuntu1
[04:48] <Jesse_V> and I want to get that right, along with the correct name of the package folder
[04:48] <Sir-Litepool> thanks histo giving it a shot
[04:48] <meatmanek> whereas debian may have -0debian1
[04:48] <Sir-Litepool> Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: purplekarrot ppa
[04:48] <Sir-Litepool>  histo
[04:48] <Jesse_V> right. I'm running Mint 14 at the moment, and if I build for that, I'm building for quantal. Do I need to say that?
[04:48] <histo> Sir-Litepool: what were you trying to use a ppa for btw?
[04:49] <histo> Sir-Litepool: also what are you doing when the mysql error happens?
[04:49] <Sir-Litepool> to install libbost1.47 and over histo
[04:49] <Jesse_V> I just created my own PPA yesterday, and I'm in the process of working on correctly building things and uploading them to Launchpad :)
[04:49] <Sir-Litepool> well i did update after ppa
[04:49] <Sir-Litepool> well it worked fine, and someone ddosed me
[04:50] <Sir-Litepool> then i rebooted and it messed up
[04:50] <histo> Sir-Litepool: Ahh well you failed to mention that.
[04:50] <histo> Sir-Litepool: what do you use mysql for?
[04:50] <Sir-Litepool> queries
[04:50] <Jesse_V> duh
[04:50] <histo> Sir-Litepool: sudo service mysql status
[04:50] <hejki> ohai guys, i'm trying to compile stuff with -m32 on 13.04 (amd64), i seem to be missing all .so's from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, e.g. my libSM http://dpaste.com/1237581/
[04:50] <meatmanek> Jesse_V: no, you don't need to specify. It's generally a convention that indicates who made the package. I'd maybe use "jessev" instead of ubuntu
[04:50] <Sir-Litepool> histo sudo service mysql status
[04:50] <kalakj> hi
[04:50] <Jesse_V> meatmanek: why's that?
[04:50] <kalakj> all
[04:50] <Sir-Litepool> sorry histo mysql respawn/post-start, (post-start) process 10048
[04:51] <histo> Sir-Litepool: yes I told you mysqld before.
[04:51] <hejki> if i manually symlink the .so.x as .so, the linker works
[04:51] <meatmanek> Jesse_V: because you aren't an official package maintainer for the ubuntu project
[04:51] <Jesse_V> meatmanek: oh right, I see
[04:51] <histo> Sir-Litepool: sudo service mysql restart    then what were you doing when you get the sock error?
[04:51] <Jesse_V> meatmanek: so then "derp-0.05-0jvictors1" would be correct then?
[04:51] <meatmanek> should be fine, yeah
[04:52] <Aegon> join archlinux
[04:52] <Jesse_V> which would turn into "derp-0.05-0jessev1_amd64.deb"
[04:52] <Jesse_V> right?
[04:52] <Jesse_V> I just don't want to look like a newb, that's all :)
[04:53] <Jesse_V> even though I am at building packages like this
[04:53] <Sir-Litepool> histo restarting does not respond just says stop/waiting, i tried connecting through python didn't help, through php didn't help, through command line and it still gave ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) after entering password
[04:53] <Jesse_V> half the battle is making it look like you know what you're doing
[04:53] <histo> !dev | Jesse_V
[04:53] <Jesse_V> thanks
[04:53] <Jesse_V> not at the moment, I'd like to start with just my Launchpad PPA and work up from there
[04:54] <theadmin> Jesse_V: Launchpad takes care of building the packages itself
[04:55] <Jesse_V> but I need to upload .changes, so don't I have to build stuff to generate that?
[04:55] <Jesse_V> maybe I don't understand the procedures
[04:55] <theadmin> Jesse_V: ...Oh. Well... I thought... Uh. I'm not into Ubuntu development myself and Debian packaging is confusing
[04:55] <theadmin> Jesse_V: But I think Launchpad does building anyways
[04:55] <Jesse_V> it does
[04:56] <Jesse_V> with 40,000 packages you'd think there'd be clear instructions instead of a steep learning curve
[04:57] <Jesse_V> but anyway, is "derp-0.05-0jessev1" -> "derp-0.05-0jessev1_amd64.deb" good for a package named "derp", of version "0.05", built for Quantal?
[04:57] <Jesse_V> maintained only by me, and which does not exist in Debian or Ubuntu?
[04:58] <theadmin> Jesse_V: Normally, ppa packages have stuff like 0ppa1 in the name, not 0jessev1
[04:58] <Jesse_V> ok, so if my ppa was named "testing", then I'd replace "jessev" with "testing"?
[04:59] <theadmin> Jesse_V: No, no, literally the string "ppa"
[04:59] <Jesse_V> what?
[04:59] <Jesse_V> "derp-0.05-ppa"?
[05:00] <Jesse_V> even with "ppa:jvictors/testing" as my PPA path?
[05:00] <theadmin> Well... All ppa packages I've seen have something are named like derp-version-0ppa1 or such, yes, literally "ppa", not "testing" or "ppaname"
[05:00] <Jesse_V> ah ok
[05:00] <drhester7> quick question
[05:00] <theadmin> But I may be wrong. Jesse_V, you may have more luck asking this in #ubuntu-packaging
[05:01] <Jesse_V> didn't know that channel existed...
[05:01] <drhester7> how difficult is it to customize ubuntu?
[05:01] <theadmin> drhester7: ...Depends on what you mean
[05:01] <Jesse_V> drhester7: easy, it's Linux :)
[05:01] <seronis> i have chrome-beta installed and the google entry added to sources.list so that it will auto update.  yesterdays update mentions it cant install because of  'unauthenticated dependancies'.  how do i see what those are?
[05:01] <histo> drhester7: what's your experience level?
[05:01] <histo> drhester7: and what customization do you want to do?
[05:01] <Jesse_V> drhester7: you can do everything from changing your background to recompiling your kernel. It's Linux after all
[05:01] <theadmin> seronis: Try updating from a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:02] <theadmin> seronis: It'll tell you where it has authentication issues
[05:03] <drhester7> my experience level is beginner but I learn quickly and I'm talking about modifications to the GUI and other stuff like that
[05:03] <Jesse_V> anyone else have any suggestions for my packaging naming question?
[05:04] <Sir-Litepool> histo you her?E
[05:04] <Sir-Litepool> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861136
[05:04] <Sir-Litepool> you see it says the solution was to merge the two apparmor files
[05:04] <histo> drhester7: depends on the "modifications" you are speaking of on how difficult it will be for you.
[05:06] <drhester7> histo: basically I'm just trying to personalize it to me. I'm a windows user over mac so I like the minimize and close buttons on the right instead of left.
[05:06] <Jesse_V> drhester7: you can fix that in Ubuntu. Or you can switch to Linux Mint, which has that by default, and which is based on Ubuntu
[05:07]  * Jesse_V runs Mint 14
[05:07] <histo> drhester7: all that stuff is very easy
[05:07] <theadmin> Jesse_V: Please don't recommend unsupported derivatives
[05:08] <drhester7> histo: part of  this process is so that I can gain experience in computers all around
[05:08] <theadmin> drhester7: Having the buttons on the right in Ubuntu is problematic, considering they'll move to the left when you maximize the window anyway because it merges the titlebar with the top panel
[05:08] <Jesse_V> theadmin: well Mint isn't supported by Ubuntu, it's supported by the Mint team, so it is technically supported by them
[05:08] <theadmin> drhester7: As a Windows user, you may like the KDE desktop better (get Kubuntu or install the kubuntu-desktop package, click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/kubuntu-desktop )
[05:09] <theadmin> Jesse_V: I mean those not supported by this channel.
[05:09] <Jesse_V> drhester7: there's a setting for it, but it's been a while and I forget where it is
[05:09] <Jesse_V> ah, sorry then theadmin
[05:09] <Jesse_V> is Cinnamon supported?
[05:09] <Jesse_V> it's in the repos
[05:09] <badicalia> sup yall
[05:09] <theadmin> Jesse_V: Is in the Mint repos, not Ubuntu's
[05:09] <drhester7> theadmin: again more of it is for the experience. I like to figure stuff out but I need somewhere to start
[05:09] <theadmin> Oh, never mind
[05:09] <Katronix> histo oddly enough I brought my laptop physically closer to the router and it started working
[05:09] <theadmin> Jesse_V: It's in the Ubuntu ones, so I guess it's supported
[05:10] <Jesse_V> I thought you could install Cinnamon in Ubuntu from the standard repos, maybe not, sorry
[05:10] <theadmin> Jesse_V: Yeah, is in universe/x11
[05:10] <Jesse_V> that's what I thought
[05:10] <theadmin> Jesse_V: Just found it. Odd. Well anything in the repos is supported here
[05:10] <Jesse_V> drhester7: well then Cinnamon should put the buttons on the right side, and the desktop looks awesome IMO
[05:12] <R44TWR4NGNULL> hi
[05:16] <hejki> i'm attempting to make a 32bit build on amd64 13.04, however some of the 32bit packages i require want to remove my g++/gcc-multilib and libc6 -stuff, how do i manage around such packages?

[05:40] <scx> hello
[05:40] <scx> can anyone show me result of this command?: find /usr/lib* -iname "libGL.so*" | xargs dpkg -S
[05:40] <histo> bugtraq: are you just trying to share a connection?
[05:41] <irenicus09> how the hell did I end up in this channel lol
[05:41] <histo> scx: libgl1-mesa-glx
[05:41] <histo> scx: has libGL.so.1 and 1.2
[05:42] <scx> histo: thanks
[05:42] <SuperLag> I think I created /home on a drive without making a proper partition table on it first. gparted doesn't know what kind of table it is, but my data still exists in /home. I can't great a GPT non-destructively, can I?
[05:42] <histo> scx: also the /usr/lib* should be just /usr/lib
[05:43] <histo> scx: and apt-file maybe helpful for you.
[05:43] <histo> !find libGL.so
[05:44] <histo> SuperLag: have you looked at sudo parted -l output
[05:44] <histo> SuperLag: also how are you mounting it?
[05:44] <scx> histo: not on 64-bit system
[05:44] <scx> histo: there is /usr/lib and /usr/lib64
[05:45] <theadmin> SuperLag: If you created a filesystem on a drive instead of a partition, then I guess you can't exactly create a partition table without losing the data
[05:45] <histo> scx: not on my system
[05:45] <histo> theadmin: unless the fs starts after the first sector which I doubt
[05:46] <deller> hi guys
[05:46] <deller> anyone here?
[05:46] <Jesse_V> hello
[05:46] <somsip> !anyone | deller
[05:46] <histo> deller: no we are all hiding
[05:46] <Jesse_V> ^
[05:47]  * histo loves that people join a channel with 1500+ and ask if anyone is here
[05:47] <deller> lol
[05:47] <Jesse_V> hahaha
[05:47] <histo> deller: /who
[05:47] <Jesse_V> #fail
[05:47] <kit-kat> hi to enable pseudo terminal (/dev/pts) kernel driver is enough or is it need some more extra packages ?
[05:47] <deller> you guys realize that online doesnt mean actually here
[05:48] <deller> anyways, i got a question about socket programming
[05:48] <citric-> I have installed "Terminology" and changed a video setting, now Terminology starts but as a blank application (worthless) so I tried uninstalled with apt-get remove --purge terminology but it still keeps the settings when i try to reinstall so it's still worthless for me, any suggestions?
[05:48] <deller> trying to send data from one program to another using UDP on locahost
[05:48] <deller> but apparently i cant bind two sockets on th same address on the same machine
[05:48] <theadmin> citric-: Most apps store settings either under ~/.appname or ~/.config/appname
[05:48] <theadmin> citric-: That is, those that run as a regular user
[05:48] <deller> basically i want full duplex communication over UDP on the same machine
[05:48] <deller> is this possible>
[05:49] <histo> deller: what language are you writting in?
[05:49] <deller> c
[05:49] <citric-> theadmin, thanks, i will look into it.
[05:49] <histo> writing/coding
[05:49] <histo> deller: I would ask in a c channel
[05:49] <theadmin> deller: Try ##c
[05:49] <deller> k thanks
[05:50] <citric-> What is a preferred app to remotely connect to another ubuntu desktop on the same network ?
[05:50] <theadmin> citric-: Eh, depends. Terminal connection? Definetly ssh. Full desktop? You can use VNC. TeamViewer is also an option, and is definetly the easiest to configure.
[05:51] <citric-> theadmin, does SSH require any configuration or can I just ssh user@ip and good to go?
[05:51] <SuperLag> histo: when I set it up, I just did mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
[05:51] <theadmin> citric-: Well, you can as long as the server machine (one you're connecting to) has openssh-server installed
[05:51] <theadmin> citric-: (and running)
[05:51] <citric-> ahh.
[05:52] <histo> SuperLag: then you have a partition of /dev/sdb1   what is the problem you are experiencing?
[05:52] <SuperLag> histo: like this: UUID=ea891955-9dc7-4012-803c-91d561764c83 /home           ext4    nodev,nosuid      0       2
[05:53] <SuperLag> histo: I just added a third hard drive. And mSATA SSD. When I started up gparted, that's when it referenced the second drive, and said it didn't know the partition table type
[05:53]  * SuperLag might be a little nuts... 3 SSDs in his laptop. :)
[05:54] <histo> SuperLag: are you sure you aren't selecting the wrong drive?
[05:54] <nevyn> I should get a mSATA drive.
[05:54] <histo> SuperLag: sudo blkid
[05:54] <histo> SuperLag: paste the output of that to paste.ubuntu.com also lsblk  wouldn't hurt
[05:55] <citric-> theadmin, you run unity? or gnome?
[05:55] <theadmin> citric-: Unity, why does that even matter?
[05:55] <citric-> theadmin, was just a poll :D
[05:56] <histo> !poll | citric-

[05:57] <histo> SuperLag: well /dev/sdb1 is there so I still don't understand what your problem is
[05:57] <citric-> histo, don't remember asking you a question. or your input.
[05:57] <histo> citric-: didn't respond to a question
[05:58] <citric-> did you read the last part, about your input?
[05:58] <citric-> thanks :)
[05:58] <histo> !attitude | citric-
[05:58] <IdleOne> citric-: histo was trying to explain one of the channel rules.
[05:58] <citric-> it's ok, i ignored him now :)
[05:58] <IdleOne> you might want to read them

[06:00] <theadmin> SuperLag: sudo file -s /dev/sdb, what does that give you?
[06:00] <SuperLag> histo: it just seems odd, that's all. Why would gparted show it as unallocated, when it definitely *is* allocated, and currently in use, even?
[06:00] <histo> SuperLag: no idea why gparted is being weird you'd have to have /dev/sdb1 not mounted to mess with it anyways
[06:01] <SuperLag> theadmin: /dev/sdb: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, starthead 1, startsector 63,<PHONE_NUMBER> sectors, extended partition table (last)\011, code offset 0x0
[06:01] <theadmin> SuperLag: ...looks fine, I dunno. GParted is just being weird I guess
[06:01] <theadmin> SuperLag: It's not a perfect program
[06:01] <histo> SuperLag: looks fine
[06:02] <SuperLag> theadmin: What?! not perfection?! :O
[06:02] <SuperLag> ;)
[06:03] <yugandhar> Hi, I wish comment multiple lines in /etc/network/interface file at a time.  How can we do it ?
[06:04] <yugandhar> is there any way to do it at a time?
[06:04] <yugandhar> please help me
[06:04] <theadmin> yugandhar: Uh, well, depends on your text editor. With vi, :11,15s/^/#/
[06:04] <theadmin> yugandhar: Where 11 and 15 are the first and last line you wish to comment
[06:04] <F_XZ> and also, for vim, the block visual mode can also do that.
[06:04] <yugandhar> oh, thanks alot
[06:05] <yugandhar> theadmin:  Thanks a lot
[06:05] <theadmin> yugandhar: Many text editors have a "comment line" option which you can use with selections, too
[06:06] <SuperLag> histo: theadmin: This came up when I was attempting to create a partition table on /dev/sdc http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-06132013-110546pm.php
[06:07] <theadmin> SuperLag: Hm...
[06:07] <theadmin> SuperLag: I dunno, looks like a broken GPT then
[06:07] <SuperLag> maybe I should copy my data off of /dev/sdb, create a new GPT table, and put it back.
[06:07] <Sir-Litepool> im trying to merge 2 app armours like in here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861136
[06:07] <Sir-Litepool> not sure how to
[06:07] <SuperLag> I just don't want to lose data
[06:12] <SuperLag> The ThinkPad W530 is a nice laptop to run Linux on.
[06:12] <SuperLag> It's been great.
[06:12] <SuperLag> and being able to take 32GB of RAM... love it
[06:16] <histo> SuperLag: how did you partition /dev/sdc
[06:16] <histo> SuperLag: or I should say with what tool?
[06:17] <histo> yugandhar: you could also probably use sed
[06:19] <yugandhar> histo : Could you please give me the command?
[06:21] <histo> yugandhar: which line numbers?
[06:22] <histo> yugandhar: sed '1,10s/^/#/' somefile  would start lines 1 through 10 with #
[06:23] <yugandhar> histo: Thanks a lot
[06:23] <JennyBlueBird> hi guys , is there any easy way to force network manager to only use a particular hotspot or do I have to do it manually for that ?
[06:23] <histo> yugandhar: you'd have to use -i  to actually do it inline
[06:23] <we6jbo> Hi
[06:23] <histo> yugandhar: or I should say inplace vs just printing the changes to stdout
[06:23] <anders__> Question: I'm wanting to "upgrade" from 32 bit to 64 bit. On the installation type screen, can I choose "Reinstall" or do I have to completely reformat the drive?
[06:24] <we6jbo> I have a question
[06:24] <histo> anders__: format
[06:24] <histo> !ask | we6jbo
[06:24] <anders__> Thank you!
[06:25] <JennyBlueBird> anders__, you can probably keep your user settings if you got them on a separate partition, but the entire system, including all programs, must be reinstalled
[06:25] <we6jbo> I was wondering if there is a program that would let me run a command and then wait for the command to finish before running a different command
[06:25] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo,   if I'm not mistaken && will do that
[06:25] <anders__> we6jbo: I think && would work.
[06:25] <we6jbo> At later times though
[06:26] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo,    i.e  firefox && echo "firefox has finished"
[06:26] <JennyBlueBird> program 1 && sleep <lots of time> && program 2
[06:27] <we6jbo> Like for instance if I ran wget http://example.com/file1.zip and then in 5min I wanted to run wget -c example.com/file2.zip but I wanted the first wget process to finish before running the second one
[06:27] <we6jbo> just using wget as an example
[06:27] <F_XZ> we6jbo: you can try run wget files from a list.
[06:27] <JennyBlueBird> wget 1 && sleep <5 minutes> && wget 2
[06:28] <we6jbo> yeah but i would have already done wget 1 and then hit enter
[06:28] <we6jbo> lets say it takes 30min to download that file
[06:28] <histo> we6jbo: well wget can use file lists
[06:28] <anders__> we6jbo: Couldn't you just open a new terminal tab/window?
[06:29] <histo> we6jbo: you can add your links to a text file called lets say filelist  and then wget -i filelist
[06:29] <we6jbo> yeah
[06:29] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, you basically want a command that checks if another process is running and start if it has finished ?
[06:29] <histo> we6jbo: or just wget file1 && wget file2
[06:29] <we6jbo> that would work
[06:29] <histo> we6jbo: using && waits for the first command to finish successfully before starting the next
[06:30] <we6jbo> I like JennyBlueBird 's idea
[06:30] <we6jbo> I dont know how to do that though
[06:30] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, it depends what you want to do tbh
[06:30] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, what exactky is the issue with && ?
[06:30] <JennyBlueBird> it seems to do what you want
[06:30] <we6jbo> cause I would have already entered the command
[06:31] <we6jbo> I dont know maybe I'm over thinking it
[06:31] <JennyBlueBird> why can't you enter the two comands at the same time ?
[06:31] <we6jbo> the webmaster gets mad
[06:31] <histo> we6jbo: you can use the at command to schedule something to be done
[06:31] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, huh? how would he know ?
[06:32] <we6jbo> Yeah I was thinking using at but I'd need the first command to finish though
[06:32] <histo> we6jbo: at 4:30pm cat /your/mom
[06:32] <histo> we6jbo: then write a script to monitor the pid of the first command
[06:32] <we6jbo> yeah that would be good
[06:32] <we6jbo> here I'll get one of his emails
[06:32] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, && does not execute the comands simulatenously. It executes the first one, and then runs the second if the first one finishes with a successful termination
[06:33] <we6jbo> ok here's one. He basically says that I'm downloading too much stuff and it's costing him money
[06:33] <histo> we6jbo: if you just want to run one command after another regardless of the first one use somecommand ; someothercommand
[06:33] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, so if you want to wait a little between two commands, just do:   wget file1 &&  wait <time>  && wget file2
[06:34] <aeon-ltd> we6jbo: what is it hosting?
[06:34] <we6jbo> Yeah I do that for now but sometimes I like to wget the command then wait awhile and I might decided to wget something else
[06:34] <we6jbo> I think it's on his own server
[06:34] <SuperLag> histo: I was going to use gparted for /dev/sdc, but I used gdisk instead. Created GPT, then one fs using the entire drive... formatted as ext4.
[06:34] <histo> SuperLag: No idea why do you need gparted since you used gdisk?
[06:34] <RazLaptop> Anyone here buy ZaReason servers before? It shipped with a login and I have no idea what the password or login is
[06:35] <we6jbo> I might try the at and the pid
[06:35] <we6jbo> that might work
[06:35] <SuperLag> histo: I *just* got gdisk. Tried gparted the very first time around.
[06:35] <wheatthin> RazLaptop, I dont think that's an ubuntu question
[06:35] <SuperLag> histo: s/Tried/Used
[06:36] <we6jbo> ok I'm going to bed. Thank you all for your help and thank you histo and JennyBlueBird for the idea of using at and pid.
[06:36] <JennyBlueBird> we6jbo, if you have some foresight you might run wget file1 && ./bashscript
[06:36] <JennyBlueBird> then just change ./bashscript if you want to do some more stuff
[06:37] <JennyBlueBird> or use ; instead of &&
[06:37] <tones>  /join #windows
[06:38] <RazLaptop> wheatthin, server comes with ubuntu preconigured, and the company card cites the freenode channel, I figured it was worth a shot :\
[06:38] <RazLaptop> sucks because I have to configure this server tonight D:
[06:38] <wheatthin> RazLaptop, I'd lookup the faq on their website
[06:39] <RazLaptop> wheatthin, I did, nothing :(
[06:40] <anders__> wheatthin: As a last ditch effort you could just reinstall the OS.
[06:40] <wheatthin> anders_ huh?
[06:41] <wheatthin> RazLaptop, If all else fails, you can boot a live ubuntu cd/dvd and chroot into your installation and set the password then
[06:41] <anders__> wheatthin: Just reinstall Ubuntu. Or Ubuntu server.
[06:42] <wheatthin> anders_ I didn't have any questions.
[06:42] <RazLaptop> wheatthin, yeah it ships with the CD, I just was hoping to get the machine and do a few apt-get's for what I needed, I don't even know what raid card they put in there
[06:42] <anders__> wheatthin: Oops. :) My bad. I read the wrong nick.
[06:42] <SuperLag> What are the proper options for /home in /etc/fstab?
[06:43] <SuperLag> nodev,nosuid ?
[06:43] <SuperLag> or should it be something different?
[06:43] <wheatthin> SuperLag, you mounting it as a separate partition?
[06:43] <SuperLag> wheatthin: yes
[06:44] <somsip> SuperLag: got this here - I think from the installer: defaults,user_xattr
[06:44] <SuperLag> somsip: are you mounting /home on a separate partition, as well?
[06:44] <wheatthin> SuperLag,  (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)
[06:44] <somsip> SuperLag: yep
[06:44] <wheatthin> change the udisk to your appropriate disk
[06:45] <SuperLag> wheatthin: what is the last option?
[06:45] <SuperLag> the uhelper=udisk?
[06:47] <wheatthin> SuperLag, I believe it just chooses which disk you're querying
[06:49] <wheatthin> I could be wrong tho
[06:53] <Sir-Litepool> how do i completely remove mysql?
[06:54] <wheatthin> Sir-Litepool, I believe sudo apt-get purge mysql
[06:57] <Synchrony> hi everybody!  I´m trying to getting work my father´s printer on Ubuntu 12.04.....I have installed the 3.13.02 version of hplip ....When I try to print happen that I receive only message on the screen that says : "the document was success printed"
[06:57] <histo> Sir-Litepool: you're still mucking around?
[06:57] <Synchrony> In the real, nothing was printed....I have tried to upgrade hplip to the 3.13.15 version and seems I could not open the package
[06:57] <Synchrony> I am a beginner with ubuntu, maybe i did something wrong.
[06:57] <Sir-Litepool> yeah histo im completely removing mysql
[06:58] <Sir-Litepool> i backed up the /var/lib/mysql
[06:58] <histo> Sir-Litepool: well mysql-server is the package that you are probably having issues with
[06:58] <histo> Synchrony: what type of printer?
[06:59] <loganlee> hello
[06:59] <Sir-Litepool> installing dependencies like libdbd-mysql-perl right now
[07:00] <Synchrony> this model : hp deskjet f4280
[07:14] <snufft> hey guys
[07:15] <snufft> stupid question, but when using ssh, out of 2 step password auth vs authorized keys, which wins in security?
[07:15] <snufft> better yet, can you 2 step authorised keys?
[07:15] <nevyn> I like keys
[07:16] <nevyn> snufft: how good is your password?
[07:16] <snufft> competely random
[07:16] <snufft> long
[07:16] <snufft> lol
[07:17] <ubuntu> clear
[07:17] <ojasvi> clear
[07:17] <histo> Synchrony: let me check something
[07:18] <nevyn> snufft: so with good practice. keys are clearly and obviously superior to most passwords
[07:18] <ojasvi> does anybody out here knows how to recover corrupted windows using ubuntu?
[07:18] <histo> Synchrony: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24073/how-do-i-install-the-hp-f4280-printer
[07:18] <Synchrony> histo : ok
[07:18] <nevyn> snufft: the big advantage of passwords is you have some more policy controls to ensure good practice.
[07:19] <nevyn> except you don't...
[07:19] <theraser> Hey, is there any linux compatible USB dock which offers audio and video connectors?  I was looking in this page http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/manual/distros/ubuntu.html
[07:21] <histo> Synchrony: your printer should work out of the box with ubuntu btw
[07:21] <woo> histo: mind = blown
[07:21] <histo> lol
[07:22] <ojasvi> histo: yes
[07:22] <histo> ojasvi: read the instructions from ubottu about uefi
[07:24] <histo> !clone > blockworks
[07:24] <kalledel> Does anyone know the internals of SYN-blocking in the kernel here? I have a problem with high tcp connection rates on loopback..
[07:25] <ojasvi> histo: thanks. on it :D
[07:25] <Synchrony>  i log out for a moment
[07:26] <kenzo450D> hi, i was installing zendframework, when suddenly on trying to use the sudo command, i get the error sudo: "effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root? ", how do I fix it? I cannot run anything as sudo?
[07:37] <tking> Hello guys please can someone advise? I am moving file using from  root directory... i used the command 'gksudo nautilus /' to get to drive but i get this error along the line https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46512205/one.png
[07:39] <Ben64> tking: you should just use the command line to move a file instead of opening a root nautilus
[07:42] <hexabit> Im here
[07:43] <hexabit> oops wrong channel! :)
[07:44] <histo> tking: what is the filesystem you are copying to?
[07:44] <tking> histo its fat32
[07:46] <hd5770> hey ppeps
[07:46] <hd5770> i installed ubuntu
[07:46] <histo> tking: fat32 can't hold a 31GB file
[07:47] <nanyaks_> hd5770: Good for you!
[07:47] <hd5770> heh thanks
[07:47] <nanyaks_> ;P
[07:47] <hd5770> but the boot loader dont work :(
[07:47] <nanyaks_> oops...how do you mean?
[07:47] <histo> tking: 4gb limit
[07:48] <sere> tking: the max fast32 holds in 4gb
[07:48] <hd5770> grub will not install on sda1
[07:48] <hd5770> win7 boot loader is there
[07:49] <nanyaks_> seems you didnt install it in the master boot record..
[07:50] <tking> histo, sere -  really, which file system can I use?
[07:50] <hd5770> did try but it failed come back withh error like its not aload there
[07:51] <histo> tking: do you need access to the filesystem on any other operating systems?
[07:51] <tking> histo yes, or should i create a partition to contain that file itself?
[07:52] <sere> tking: ntfs if your using windows aswell
[07:53] <nanyaks_> can you access your command line?
[07:53] <tking> sere ntfs would work with ubuntu, mac and windows right?
[07:53] <histo> tking: you can use ntfs or ext3 ... if you are using ext3 you need to add a file system driver to windows though as it doens't support ext3 out of the obx
[07:53] <histo> s/obx/box/
[07:53] <sere> tking: i dont know about mac. never used it
[07:54] <histo> tking: looks like you can add ntfs support to mac
[07:54] <nanyaks_> try the suggestions from here .. http://goo.gl/7KQZB
[07:54] <histo> tking: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382
[07:55] <sere> tking: you could split your package into 4.gig files and then just copy that whole directoy over.. but you would have alot of files
[07:56] <nanyaks_> hd5770: sure your installation media isn't corrupt?
[07:56] <tking> sere its a backup file and how do i restore backup?
[07:56] <hd5770> yeah i used mini core and downloaded the rest meny times
[07:57] <histo> tking: how'd you make the backup file?
[07:58] <tking> sere  in future since the commands would be tar cvfjz backup.tgz               now with many files it would be a problems
[07:58] <MindSpark> Hello guys, can someone recommend an open source web based bugtracking tool?
[07:59] <tking> histo using this command 'tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /'    source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[08:01] <histo> tking: then split your file up if you want to use fat32 or switch filesystems
[08:02] <histo> tking: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382
[08:02] <histo> tking: sorry wrong link
[08:02] <tking> histo how to switch file or split any  source?
[08:02] <histo> tking: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR#Archive_Splitting
[08:03] <tking> histo vs sere thanks
[08:03] <sere> tking: it would still be one command but it would be packaging your backup into 4gb incremental tar files : http://ccn.ucla.edu/wiki/index.php/Tar_Tutorial
[08:03] <nanyaks_> hd5770: if you can access the command line on the system, try reinstalling grub
[08:06] <nanyaks_> hd5770: maybe we can start here ... http://goo.gl/9oYXW
[08:07] <nanyaks_> if you cant access the terminal, you might need to use a liveCD
[08:09] <dougbb> I'm using xubuntu 13.04, and pidgin seems to have lost its ability to connect to servers over IPv6 ... other services work fine over IPv6, any ideas?

[08:36] <m0ngrel> hell guest
[08:40] <Polleke> so.. my vps crashed this night. Dmesg showed disk read/write errors, fsck recovered only a very broken journal. The VPS host says there is nothing wrong with the disk. Can he be right?
[08:47] <wtf911> $5 for ZNC compiled for optware/dd-wrt
[08:47] <Ben64> wtf911: no, go away
[08:47] <wtf911> what are you, some oper on here or something?
[08:48] <wtf911> you go away?
[08:48] <wtf911> if my asking that was inappropriate for the channel you could have politely told me

[08:50] <bazhang> !guidelines > wtf911
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Polleke: if it crashed then the data may be damaged, I'd use your backups etc
[08:54] <Polleke> ActionParsnip: yes, the backup of 24h before is running (our customers not happy :( ) A fsck on that image revealed only two lost inodes. But I'm more wondering how the hell this happened
[08:55] <iKillCypher> uh is this channel about ubuntu touch?

[09:21] <Tripwire292> was hoping to get some help with LVM
[09:22] <foobArrr> a kernel upgrade just failed, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the kernel manually, I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764109/
[09:23] <foobArrr> oh, /boot is out of space, nevermind

[09:24] <vicn> whos on
[09:24] <Tripwire292> hi, i am
[09:24] <foobArrr> (Is there a way to automatically remove all older kernels but the latest two or something like that?)
[09:25] <somsip> foobArrr: I have seen a script on stackoverflow that uses uname in a find/delete to remove them. I shall look...
[09:25] <somsip> foobArrr: NEEDS TESTING http://www.dmwl.net/node/26
[09:25] <Equinox3> foobarArrr use synaptic to remove the ones you don't need
[09:26] <Tripwire292> any of you know anything about LVM?
[09:26] <somsip> foobArrr: ah - it doesn't keep the last few. Just the active one. It's a start though
[09:26] <foobArrr> somsip: thanks

[09:27] <Equinox3> i have used synaptic to remove older linux kernels. didn't cause any problems
[09:29] <qursk> sup guys
[09:29] <tux9th> foobArrr: Why don't you just remove them in synaptics? or are it that many :p?
[09:30] <foobArrr> tux9th: because I'd have to do that after every kernel update, and I'm lazy and like to automate things.
[09:31] <tux9th> ah ok
[09:35] <TKing> i created a user without password how do i give the user a password now?
[09:36] <somsip> TKing: sudo passwd username
[09:37] <TKing> somsip thanks
[09:39] <TKing> somsip, my user account is messed up, how can i login or switch to root user from terminal since i cant get to GUI
[09:40] <somsip> TKing: sudo -i to swicth to user

[09:42] <qursk> guys im having problems by installing red hat into virtual box
[09:42] <qursk> im on ubuntu and i downloaded red hat iso several times
[09:42] <qursk> still having problems at the installing console
[09:43] <theadmin> qursk: ...Redhat isn't supported here
[09:43] <qursk> where can i go for that ?
[09:43] <SixtyFold> #fedora would be closest probably haha
[09:43] <theadmin> qursk: Well, if you did buy it, you can simply consult RedHat themselves.
[09:44] <theadmin> SixtyFold: Eh, CentOS is closer to RHEL than Fedora
[09:44] <SixtyFold> ahh
[09:44] <qursk> nope its actually downloaded iso from the official website
[09:44] <SixtyFold> good to know
[09:45] <TKing> somsip can i talk private?
[09:45] <theadmin> qursk: Well, RedHat support is commercial, sorreh. Can't help here at all, way different system
[09:47] <somsip> TKing: I don't have time and all ubuntu shat should be in the channel
[09:47] <somsip> oops - chat.
[09:47] <Tripwire292> can anyone help me with some LVM stuff
[09:47] <Tripwire292> please?
[09:48] <theadmin> Tripwire292: Ask the actual question, then if anyone can help they shall
[09:48] <theadmin> Tripwire292: If not, try on askubuntu.com as you don't have to stay online there to get your answers
[09:48] <Tripwire292> ive got things setup, that parts fine. im trying to add two more disks but i get "Device /dev/sda1 not found (or ignored by filtering)"
[09:48] <TKing> i can login as root@user but cant login as user how can i fix this error since i cant get to gui of user except i get into guest or root from using ctrl+alt+f1
[09:48] <Tripwire292> i have not changed any of the filters
[09:49] <Tripwire292> ok ty theadmin
[09:49] <cloneG> hello I would need a dns domain in order to get my openvpn connection working...I was told to use no-ip or dyndns services but...the question is: is not possible to make ubuntu do that task instead?
[09:50] <somsip> TKing: maybe rename the dead user, create a new correctly-named user you can log in as, and move the files from deaduser home to newuser home. Some commands may help here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2086753
[09:50] <somsip> TKing: just a thought. Might not be the best idea...
[09:51] <theadmin> cloneG: If your Ubuntu machine has a static IP with a domain and you can add subdomains freely, maybe, but if it's dynamic, well that's the whole point of dyndns...
[09:52] <theadmin> cloneG: Generally, it's too much bother to set up manually. I'm using noip and can't complain, works perfectly
[09:52] <Tripwire292> cloneG, you dont /i/need/i/ a domain... just the external ip address. dyndns simply attaches a name to that dynamic ip you get from your isp
[09:52] <Tripwire292> i use dyndns, it also works great for what i do
[09:54] <Name141> Can anyone (that has one?) comment on how well the Intel HD graphics works on the G2020 in Ubuntu ?
[09:54] <cloneG> yeah but as a third party service it is not durable
[09:55] <cloneG> you need to be a regular user to keep it working properly apart from an account in one of those websites
[09:55] <Tripwire292> not durable?
[09:55] <cloneG> you're bound to be a client
[09:55] <cloneG> I like the independence ubuntu gives
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Name141: could try it in liveCD to test
[09:56] <cloneG> no it stops working if you are not careful
[09:56] <theadmin> cloneG: ...Well, if you want to have a domain, you're bound to be a client of some domain service anyway
[09:56] <Tripwire292> with dyndns, as a feee user, i have to login once every thirty days and that is
[09:56] <somsip> Tripwire292: if you have a router, these can often be configured to update dyndns regularly
[09:57] <TKing> somsip i created user and it cant login
[09:57] <cloneG> thats the point...does not ubuntu gives that chance? to have your own domain on your own?
[09:57] <Tripwire292> i knnow, i just havent set it up yet..
[09:57] <theadmin> cloneG: ...You can't just have a domain of your own, you need a service
[09:57] <TKing> somsip i mean i created a user and that user cant login
[09:57] <Tripwire292> actually idk if mine will do it, running a cisco 2611xm
[09:57] <theadmin> cloneG: ...Well or you could contact IANA with a very good reason and lots lots of money, I guess...
[09:57] <somsip> TKing: what errors do you see in the error logs?
[09:57] <Name141> ActionParsnip: I suppose so.. I mean you can install flash for Hulu/youtube on live I guess?
[09:57] <cloneG> lol
[09:58] <Name141> that'd be the heaviest graphics
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> Name141: yes, there is adobe flash in the repos, or pepper flash in Chrome :)
[09:58] <TKing> somsip sorry i dont know where error logs are saved
[09:58] <TKing> can u tell me please
[09:58] <somsip> TKing: /var/logs
[09:59] <somsip> TKing: probably /var/log/auth.log if you have login problems. But maybe best to look around a bit if it's your first time in there. Get a feel for it
[09:59] <Name141> ActionParsnip: I got a new machine with windows 8 and it went to killing my bandwidth, just like it did these people http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27866690-HN9000-Something-on-new-computer-is-draining-my-bandwidth-fast .  Since they don't like Windows 8 , I might can get them to make the swap if Yahoo messenger is native ?
[10:00] <cloneG> okay so no-ip or dyndns will do the trick...any other firm?
[10:00] <theadmin> Name141: There are tons of clients for Yahoo. Empathy (built into Ubuntu) has Yahoo support
[10:00] <Name141> theadmin; yeah but usually lack all the features
[10:00] <Name141> (camera)
[10:00] <cloneG> which is the more comfortable gui interface...menu app and so?
[10:00] <theadmin> Name141: Hm, I think Jitsi has support for webcam chats over Yahoo
[10:01] <Tripwire292> cloneG, you could also go get a domain from a registrar
[10:01] <Tripwire292> its basically the same thing, tell it your external ip
[10:01] <theadmin> Name141: I have no idea, I haven't used Yahoo since, like... uh... uh... I can't even remember the last time I opened yahoo.com for that matter
[10:01] <zorael> Nothing conclusive emerged from the musings of a rolling flavor, I gather?
[10:02] <Tripwire292> cloneG, i use www.namecheap.com
[10:02] <Tripwire292> its good
[10:02] <theadmin> zorael: Something sort of did, they shortened support for non-LTS releases to 9 months so that people are now forced to upgrade. Not technically rolling release, but "close enough" I guess
[10:02] <Name141> theadmin: Anyway, I'll see if the Windows 8 trip is over with after removing the tiles/windows apps.. If not, after it used 500 MBs in 3 hours (with a 10GB monthly cap..) I gotta do something.
[10:02] <zorael> theadmin: All right, thanks
[10:03] <Tripwire292> Name141, doesnt pigeon support yahoo?
[10:03] <TKing> somsip http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764199 this is the log from auth.log
[10:03] <Name141> Tripwire292: lack of features.
[10:03] <Tripwire292> Name141, ah
[10:03] <theadmin> Tripwire292: It does, but without VV (voice/video, not the white-haired immortal evil guy)
[10:03] <Name141> theadmin: They also like clicking their email icon and it going directly to it..
[10:03] <Tripwire292> Name141, true
[10:04] <theadmin> Name141: Hm. I honestly don't know if Yahoo! has an official messenger for UNIX-like systems. Check, and if not, try running it in WINE, it may just work
[10:05] <antwort> could anybody tell me how to install a higher version of software using apt-get
[10:05] <antwort> ?
[10:05] <somsip> TKing: at what point in the login process is this failing?
[10:05] <Name141> theadmin: Anywho, best case is that Windows 8 stops eating the bandwith.. I'd hate to call Lonovo and tell them I don't want the system because of an OS..
[10:05] <Tripwire292> antwort, are you trying to do updates?
[10:05] <antwort> i don't want to update my disti
[10:06] <Tripwire292> antwort, just a single package?
[10:06] <TKing> somsip when i get to screen of entering password in GUI. I enter password screen goes black for 1 second or less and return back to login screen
[10:06] <TKing> so it is a loop of login screen
[10:06] <antwort> yes only a single
[10:06] <theadmin> antwort: Generally speaking, if "apt-get install" pulls in an older version of software than what's currently released, it means the version apt-get pulls is the recommended one for your Ubuntu version (newer versions may even fail on your Ubuntu version in this case), but you can search your favorite search engine for "softwareNameHere ppa", for example "pidgin ppa"
[10:06] <antwort> but it depends
[10:06] <somsip> TKing: this is the same thing you had the other day still? It was you wasn't it?
[10:07] <antwort> install curl depends on libcurl
[10:07] <antwort> so it woun't work
[10:07] <theadmin> antwort: Well, again, search for a ppa or in the worst case build it yourself from source.
[10:08] <TKing> somsip this is different: because i had problem the other day, i formated and reinstall this time made backup.tgz file containing my full system backup. stupid me i wanted to extract archieve to see if it works i mistakenly extracted in my /home directory
[10:09] <TKing> somsip the whole files meant to be in / are in /home -- immedaitely using sudo nautilus / i wanted to quickly delete it and it failed, so i rebooted and couldn't login any more
[10:10] <somsip> TKing: so login as root in text mode and tidy up. I thought that was your intention with the questions you've been asking.
[10:10] <Ben64> TKing: don't do sudo nautilus
[10:12] <TKing> somsip how do i tidy up? i have already remove the folders from /home i mean root boot etc folders that were created in /home
[10:13] <theadmin> TKing: You may want to remove config folders such as ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 and ~/.config and so on and so on since they were likely ruined with this "sudo nautilus" thing of yours
[10:13] <cloneG> Tripwire292 does namecheap.com manage both dns and domain for same price? I bought a domain a couple of years ago and they only gave me the name...Y would need an ip public for this computer aswell!
[10:14] <freakynl> Hi, I have some issues after upgrading kernels and running out of space: http://pastebin.ca/2398390
[10:14] <freakynl> any ideas? apt-get install -f doesn't fix it :(
[10:15] <TKing> theadmin  how do i go about remove this? in which directory?
[10:15] <freakynl> whilst on the subject - when will it finally clear up old kernels? Had over 2GB in /lib/modules alone - auto update bites in the ass like this
[10:15] <theadmin> TKing: ~
[10:15] <theadmin> TKing: ~ is your home folder, normally /home/username
[10:16] <theadmin> freakynl: Old kernels aren't automatically cleaned, you have to apt-get remove them yourself
[10:16] <walltender> What's a good screen video cast GUI program in ubuntu, tried recordmydesktop, conversion is too slow.
[10:17] <freakynl> theadmin: I know, hence the q, it's a pita
[10:17] <theadmin> walltender: Try Kazam
[10:17] <TKing> theadmin am in there apart from ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 and ~/.config what else? or should i remove all . files
[10:18] <theadmin> TKing: I think those 3 are enough, but not 100% sure.
[10:18] <TKing> theadmin another problem, i created a new user and that user cant login
[10:19] <theadmin> TKing: Hms. Is there anything weird under /etc/skel/?
[10:19] <TKing> theadmin if i remove those would and reboot would everything restore it self? or how do i get them back to reload properly
[10:20] <theadmin> TKing: Eh, they'll just reappear anyways, apps will recreate them
[10:21] <Afggh> Hi
[10:21] <[Gentoo]> hi
[10:21] <TKing> theadmin so far in sel i can see .bash_logout .bashrc and .profile with a a directory Exampls
[10:21] <chenli_> hello everyone
[10:21] <TKing> theadmin so far in sel i can see .bash_logout .bashrc and .profile with a a directory Examples
[10:22] <Afggh> Why does my software centre stuck on updating cache while installing vlc?
[10:22] <theadmin> TKing: Those are fine then. Well, just try rebooting
[10:23] <Afggh> And even any other software.
[10:23] <Afggh> It is just stuck man.
[10:24] <Afggh> My Bluetooth also doesnt work.
[10:24] <Afggh> :(
[10:24] <mat619> Hi guys! I'm working on building a network sniffer for diagnostic purposes with Wireshark - what I have is a 12.04 machine with two NICs. I want to configure those in a way that allows packet monitoring without interfering.
[10:25] <TKing> theadmin i only saw .gnome2 and .config no such dir as .gnome ?. but i saw .compiz, .gconf and .gnome2_private should i remove any of this?
[10:25] <theadmin> TKing: Hm, probably do want to get rid of .gconf and .gnome2_private, yeah
[10:25] <theadmin> TKing: Dunno about .compiz
[10:25] <mat619> My goal is to have that box between the switch port and the device to be monitored, let's say a network printer. eth0 comes from the switch, forwards all packets unmodified to eth1, which forwards them to the printer. Is that possible without declaring the monitoring box as a gateway for both the router and the device behind?
[10:26] <babyswizz> I keep getting this error whenever i start my ubuntu vm any solutions? Error mounting system-managed device /dev/fd0: Command-line `mount "/media/floppy0"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
[10:26] <mat619> Because I don't want to alter the communication path at all, I just want to monitor what's flowing through that cable from the switch to the target device
[10:28] <TKing> theadmin did as you said, cant login still, i cant login new user created either
[10:28] <theadmin> TKing: Damn :( Well I dunno then
[10:29] <TKing> theadmin i can only go to terminal and do sudo -i to get to root
[10:30] <TKing> theadmin anyway thanks? the only place i can login is Guest and root in Gui
[10:30] <lessless> guys, I did sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose but there is no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv and I got a  No suitable module for running kernel found error
[10:30] <[Gentoo]> TKing: can you log in on console
[10:30] <mat619> babyswizz: does your VM have a floppy drive, with a good floppy image loaded?
[10:30] <theadmin> lessless: Install virtualbox-dkms
[10:31] <TKing> Gentoo yes with ctrl+alt+f1 right?
[10:31] <[Gentoo]> yeah or whatever way
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: gksudo nautilus    will run a file browser as root....
[10:31] <[Gentoo]> outside the gui
[10:31] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Right, but "sudo nautilus" is no good
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: oh god no
[10:31] <babyswizz> my system itself does not have a floppy drive mat619
[10:32] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Which is what TKing did
[10:32] <TKing> theadmin ActionParsnip its a mistake i did gksudo
[10:32] <TKing> [Gentoo] i can login user from console
[10:32] <[Gentoo]> ok
[10:32] <[Gentoo]> no idea
[10:33] <[Gentoo]> :)
[10:33] <lessless> theadmin, no use
[10:33] <mat619> babyswizz: it's a VM, right?
[10:33] <lessless> vboxdrv: unrecognized service
[10:33] <babyswizz> mat619: yes
[10:35] <TKing> theadmin am thinking since its possible to login as root@user can i login as root@root and then delete user@userPC but then i would have backed up /home
[10:35] <krypto> %sy in top output is almost 100% what can be the issue?
[10:35] <TKing> theadmin and create new user and restore everything back
[10:36] <Tripwire292> mat619, afaik... wireshark wont interfere with the packets, it just simply siffs them. in order to see just your printer, or whatever :P, you need to set up a filter for that device, whether it be protocol, ip, mac, etc
[10:37] <TKing> Seriously system restore to last know good configuration will do well in Ubuntu or system repair
[10:39] <Tripwire292> babyswizz, have you checked your settings in the vbox manager? under the entry for your vm >> storage  you might find a floppy drive
[10:40] <[Gentoo]> TKing: system restore?
[10:41] <TKing> [Gentoo] system restore as it is in windows
[10:41] <[Gentoo]> that wont touch ubuntu?
[10:41] <babyswizz> tripwire: I actually dont have a floppy hardware on my system but i think the vm was set to capture a floppy hence the error
[10:42] <Tripwire292> well with vbox you can actually set up a virtual fdd, just like you do with the hdd and install img
[10:43] <Tripwire292> babyswizz  ^
[10:44] <Tripwire292> babyswizz, you dont need to have a fdd physically in your computer
[10:44] <[Gentoo]> vbox does all the fake hardware
[10:45] <babyswizz> Tripwire: I use vmware not vbox and i actually understand what you are saying now but why the error
[10:46] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[10:46] <erg0n> hi
[10:47] <Tripwire292> babyswizz, ah. well vmware is pretty much the same, ive used both. and sounds like ubuntu is trying to mount the drive, but nothing is there to mount (just guessing here) maybe check your fstab. also i would check the virtual machine settings to ensure there isnt a ffd being virtualized
[10:48] <clcto> o/
[10:49] <babyswizz> Tripwire: how do I go about this, am actually a newbee
[10:51] <Tripwire292> babyswizz, well i would do in a terminal sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:51] <Tripwire292> babyswizz, i assume your using the desktop edition with a gui
[10:52] <babyswizz> Tripwire: desktop edition of what
[10:52] <somsip> !gksudo | Tripwire292
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Tripwire292: sudo is not suitable for GUI apps
[10:53] <Tripwire292> babyswizz, look for an entry that has to do with /dev/floppy0
[10:53] <Tripwire292> haha well TIL....
[10:53] <[Gentoo]> so much easier to just use sudo vim
[10:53] <theadmin> Tripwire292: Don't you mean /dev/fd0?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> Tripwire292: il it changes the owner of a file in $HOME and sudo won't work
[10:54] <theadmin> I don't think floppy* even exists, though unsure
[10:54] <Tripwire292> just using what he said
[10:54] <Tripwire292> i assume its /fd0
 I keep getting this error whenever i start my ubuntu vm any solutions? Error mounting system-managed device /dev/fd0: Command-line `mount "/media/floppy0"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid
[10:55] <Tripwire292> oh miss read
[10:56] <walltender> theadmin: Kazam introduces lots of nosies.
[10:56] <Tripwire292> and actually ive never ran into an issue with just sudo gedit
[10:56] <theadmin> walltender: Huh, odd, worked fine for me
[10:57] <tithan> PROBLEAM OF MY PC TO INSTALL LINUX NO OPTION TO SELECT THE CD ROM  MY COMPUTER IS HP
[10:58] <babyswizz> Tripwire: I have something like this "/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0"
[10:58] <[Gentoo]> Tripwire292: it should work fine its just a bad habit
[10:58] <og01> Hi there im getting "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process"
[10:58] <[Gentoo]> you shouldnt ever need to run much graphical stuff as root anyway
[10:59] <theadmin> tithan: Don't caps. Is it a Windows 8 preinstalled PC?
[10:59] <Drretro_> greetings - i've got some cpu-peak-problems with xubuntu 12.04 on a IBM Thinkpad X61s - it seems there is a kworker problem - how can i resolve that?
[10:59] <minimec> tithan: DON'T shout.. ;) Press F9 or F12 to 'change boot device' during BIOS screen.
[10:59] <ace_striker> og01: get it's pid and issue kill comand
[10:59] <og01> ace_striker: there is no pid, and nothing to kill
[10:59] <og01> ace_striker: fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat shows no processes
[10:59] <minimec> tithan: You may have to activate that option in the BIOS first.
[11:00] <og01> ace_striker: ignore me
[11:00] <ace_striker> ogo1: use sodu
[11:00] <og01> ace_striker: i wasnt running as root
[11:00] <ace_striker> *sudo
[11:01] <theadmin> tithan: If it came with Windows 8, go to right panel -> Settings -> Change PC Settings -> General -> Advanced boot options -> Boot from CD or removable media -> Boot from CD
[11:01] <tithan> MINIMEC:NOTHING MY BROTHER
[11:01] <lotuspsychje> !caps | tithan
[11:02] <minimec> tithan: You may have to activate that option in the BIOS first.
[11:02] <tithan> THEADMIN:BUT WE WANT TO INTALL LINUX OF UBUNTU NOTHING
[11:02] <theadmin> tithan: That's what you need to do to boot from the Ubuntu CD
[11:03] <theadmin> tithan: Windows 8 messes with the EFI somehow with these boot options
[11:06] <dawkirst> Hi. Any decent Google Drive clients for Ubuntu?
[11:07] <DJones> dawkirst: Its not in the repo's, but the only one I've found is Insync
[11:07] <theadmin> dawkirst: Try InSync
[11:07] <Tripwire292> [Gentoo], ah ok, like i said TIL :P
[11:07] <mat619> babyswizz: remove the floppydrive from the VM then. your virtualization tool must have given it a virtual floppy drive by default
[11:07] <randomUser13> Hi, i'm currently fixing a pc where /boot got full, so i manually deleted the old kernels and initrds, but now i think i accidentally deleted some files i shouldn't have... what's the correct way to tell apt-get to reinstall the relevant packages?
[11:08] <mat619> Tripwire292: i know how wireshark works, but I'm not sure if I can setup a transparent network bridge in linux
[11:08] <xaker> hi all
[11:08] <minimec> randomUser13: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure yourpackage'
[11:08] <randomUser13> And on a related note, is `sudo apt-get autoremove` sufficient for cleaning up in the future?
[11:08] <mat619> Tripwire292: that will just forward the packets like on osi layer 0
[11:09] <mat619> Tripwire292: in through eth0, being monitored there, and out through eth1 to the target
[11:09] <mat619> Tripwire292: and same thing backwards. without eth0 and eth1 being really a TCP/IP part of the network
[11:10] <dawkirst> DJones, theadmin thanks.
[11:10] <Tripwire292> mat619, yeah i really have no idea about that, somethong ive never done :P
[11:10] <mat619> Tripwire292: that makes two of us. :D
[11:10] <randomUser13> minimec: How do i find out which package owned /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-XX-generic after it no longer exists? :P
[11:10] <mat619> Tripwire292: but thanks for trying to help anyway :)
[11:11] <theadmin> randomUser13: That'd be linux-image-3.8.0-xx-generic
[11:11] <minimec> randomUser13: linux-image-XXXX.deb. For example: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=raring&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image
[11:11] <theadmin> randomUser13: In general, apt-file can find files in packages regardless of their install state
[11:13] <SKiTZO> I am trying to change the permissions given to some usb device files in my udev rules but the changes won't take effect. I use udevadm controll --reload-rules after saving my changes. im on 12.04 what gives?
[11:14] <minimec> randomUser13: If you can reinstall or reconfigure the linux-image-XXX-deb package, I would do a 'sudo update-grub' afterwards, just to be sure...
[11:18] <randomUser13> minimec: dpkg-reconfigure gives me: Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-23-generic)
[11:19] <tithan> THEADMIN:WHAT IS THE MEAN OF 0x00002
[11:20] <chinoz> hi
[11:21] <minimec> randomUser13: So try to install the package again.
[11:23] <randomUser13> minimec: sudo apt-get install ... gives me: "linux-image-3.8.0-XX-generic is already the newest version." and exits without doing anything.
[11:24] <SKiTZO> are the rules found under /etc/udev/rules.d ALL that are used on my systyem or is there another batch of rules someplace?
[11:24] <brainwash> randomUser13: sudo apt-get install --reinstall <package>
[11:25] <TKing> please isn't lsmod suppose to show type of drive in grub?
[11:25] <randomUser13> SKiTZO: There might be some in /usr/lib/udev/ too if i remember correctly.
[11:26] <brainwash> SKiTZO: /lib/udev/rules.d
[11:26] <tithan> what the mean of 0x0000000004
[11:26] <minimec> randomUser13: So you can boot on one kernel, as I see. Remove all linux-image packages of the vmlinux files you removed. Do a 'sudo update-grub' (to be sure)... and never just remove some files in a filesystem, that is managed by a package manager ;)
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> TKing: lsmod just shows the loaded kernel modules
[11:27] <leto> Hi, I'm going to install ubuntu 13.04 on a 128Gb ssd, no multiboot. I used to crypt at least my seperate home partition, and I'm discovering new (?) install options: lvm and full encryption. What do you advice? And is hibernation possible now with an encrypted home?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> tithan: its '4' in hexadecimal
[11:27] <randomUser13> minimec: so in future doing "apt-get autoremove" is enought to keep /boot clean?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> leto: I believe the issue was with encrypted swap.
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> leto: is the system a desktop?
[11:28] <leto> ActionParsnip: indeed. No a laptopt
[11:28] <leto> -t
[11:28] <minimec> randomUser13: NOt sure about that. Just check and remove the 'redundant' linux-image packages.
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> leto: I see, just dont encrypt swap, alternatively don't use any encryption and life will be easier
[11:29] <dawkirst> DJones, I get a "W: Failed to fetch http://apt.insynchq.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'non-free/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)" error, any ideas?
[11:29] <leto> ActionParsnip: I need encryption of my datas
[11:31] <randomUser13> brainwash, minimec: thanks a lot for the help! :) Hope i can reboot...
[11:32] <TKing> am trying to run the command " root=(hd0); configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg " in grub since i cant boot from liveUSB but its not working any reason why?
[11:33] <SKiTZO> thanks randomuser13 & brainwash
[11:37] <TKing> histo are you there?
[11:37] <gry> TKing: Yes.
[11:38] <TKing> gry, you helped me yesterday with booting liveUSB from grub, please what are the commands given
[11:39] <gry> I didn't, sorry, must have been someone else. Please ask again in full details.
[11:40] <gry> histo: ping.
[11:43] <riqdiiz> gry: hi
[11:43] <gry> riqdiiz: Hi.
[11:44] <riqdiiz> gry: what commands u looking for?
[11:44] <gry> I'm not looking for commands, no. :)
[11:45] <riqdiiz> given what ...? Up there ..:-)
[11:51] <rudolf_> hi everyone
[11:51] <rudolf_> I have now started liking ubuntu.
[11:51] <rudolf_> Its pretty cool.
[11:52] <replaceits> So after a reboot of my comp, flash decided to not play out of my primary device (plays out of a diffrent one), I've been googling around and haven't found anything thats fixed this, any know how to fix this?
[11:52] <replaceits> I haven't had a problem with it for the last few months <.<"
[11:52] <rudolf_> Bit difficult to learn in the starting though. :|
[11:52] <babyswizz1> I cant seem to install synaptic package manager , am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764428/
[11:52] <rudolf_> And My bluetooth isnt working.
[11:53] <TKing> how do i boot my liveUSB from grub menu?
[11:53] <rudolf_> Its not ready to turn on I dunno why. :( Any help??
[11:54] <replaceits> @TKing you should just be able to enable loading from usb in the bios
[11:55] <replaceits> @rudolf_ does your computer have a switch or button (like a fn one) to turn it on and off? I've found turnning it off and on helps
[11:55] <walltender> Is this normal that I take a screen recording for around 12 mins and the 3.8 GiB swap is fully occupied, freezes the system while memeory is not fully loaded?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> walltender: tried a different application?
[11:57] <walltender> ActionParsnip: Tired two recording app, mydesktoprecord and Kazam
[11:58] <TKing> repaceits i cant access bios uefi problem

[12:06] <SteveBell> hi all. I'm trying to find out if a harddrive that took a dive from my living room table is ok. I did "sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1 and here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764468/ . what does this mean? is the drive damaged? What should I do? reformat? or just keep it like it is?
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> walltender: how much RAM do you have?
[12:08] <walltender> 3.6 G memory, 3.8 G swap. memory was only occupied less than 1/4 but swap is full.
[12:08] <walltender> was full.
[12:10] <walltender> ActionParsnip:
[12:16] <babyswizz> cant seem to download synaptic package manager, am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764428/
[12:17] <auronandace> babyswizz: do an apt-get update first
[12:18] <hounddog> hi guys, i am having a problem that my wireless is block due to rfkill, when i try to unblock it, my system freezes completly
[12:22] <babyswizz> cant seem to download synaptic package manager, am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764428/
[12:23] <Walex> babyswizz: add the default APT sources.
[12:24] <babyswizz> walex: how ?
[12:24] <Walex> hounddog: buggy WiFi chipset driver, they are often buggy. Get another WiFi chip or get a newer backported kernel
[12:25] <Walex> ubotu sources
[12:25] <Walex> !sources
[12:26] <Walex> babyswizz: if you installed from CD/DVD probably the only package source configured is that CD/DVD.
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  what's the outcome of    cat /etc/issue ?
[12:32] <babyswizz> monkeydust: what issue
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  type cat /etc/issue and paste the output here, you may be using a !eol version of ubuntu
[12:36] <babyswizz> monkeydust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764543/
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  ok, good, now type    sudo apt-get update      and then install synaptic
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> why synaptic when software centre is in a default install?
[12:39] <babyswizz1> monkeydust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764543/
[12:40] <dhs227> How do I install a standalone .deb package in ubuntu? 13.04
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz1  ok, it seems you lost connection when i answered
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: double click it
[12:40] <babyswizz1> yes I did
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  now type    sudo apt-get update      and then install synaptic
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: or:  sudo dpkg -i /path/to/filename.deb
[12:41] <dhs227> where to verify its default location before I install?
[12:41] <dhs227> e.g. to confirm /usr/bin will be used rather than /usr/local/bin
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: it will be the file structure in the files, you can extract the deb if you want, then extract data.tar.gz
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: most debs add a launcher
[12:42] <dhs227> a launcher? like a initial script?
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: like a binary, that goes in /usr/bin  it should also make a launcher in /usr/share/applications like your other apps
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: it may not though
[12:43] <dhs227> what tool I can use to look into .deb? preferably in shell.
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: ar x filename.deb
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: then extract the data archive
[12:45] <babyswizz> monkeydust: do I run sudo apt-get update before install synaptic?
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  yes
[12:45] <dhs227> a control.tar.gz and a data.tar.gz extracted.
[12:48] <dhs227> I love the fish shell 2.0
[12:49] <dhs227> it's convenient and looks fancy.
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: the data archive has the files, you will see familiar folders
[12:51] <babyswizz> monkey dust: this is the output after i ran sudo apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764574/
[12:51] <babyswizz> and sudo apt-get install is still the same output
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> babyswizz:  wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  ignore that error for now, install synaptic first
[12:54] <babyswizz> actionparsnip: dont get you
[12:54] <babyswizz> monkeydust: still give the same errors
[12:56] <dhs227> Shell login keeps nag me like `# packages can be updated. # updates are security updates.` and it takes seconds before prompt.
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> babyswizz: its a command, copy it as one command and run it in the terminal
[12:56] <dhs227> How to ignore the check or display?
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> babyswizz  can you install anything else? there may be an issue with the local server
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: in /etc/update-motd.d/
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: http://semiaccurate.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5716
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> dhs227: took me about 60 seconds to find
[12:58] <dhs227> ActionParsnip, :)
[12:59]  * ActionParsnip shrugs
[12:59] <b-ot> ActionParsnip: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[13:00] <babyswizz> actionparsnip: what exactly does the command do
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> babyswizz: its a script to remove all packageknowledge online then redownload. Its the commands from the official package repair how-to but in a script because I'm lazy
[13:00] <SteveBell> hi all. I'm trying to find out if a harddrive that took a dive from my living room table is ok. I did "sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1 and here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764468/ . what does this mean? is the drive damaged? What should I do? reformat? or just keep it like it is?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> babyswizz: it will delete the hash mismatched file then recreate it but not broken
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> SteveBell: sounds like corrupted data, I'd just use backups, much easier
[13:02] <cristian_c> Hi
[13:02] <cristian_c> I've installed qt4-qtconfig
[13:02] <cristian_c> If I open the tool and I edit the font settings, clicking on File->Save, this string appears in the statusbar: 'Saved changes.'
[13:03] <cristian_c> but if I close and reopen the tool, there are not the new settings anymore
[13:03] <cristian_c> How can I solve it?
[13:03] <SteveBell> ActionParsnip: not sure what you mean. so the harddrive itself is ok? then I'd just reformat and copy all data onto it again from a backup.
[13:03] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[13:03] <babyswizz> actionparsnip: in other words i have a problem with my software sources?
[13:03] <esperegu> anyone knows howto restart pulseaudio properly? it is running in system mode. 'service pulseaudio stop' or 'service pulseaudio restart' does not seem to work
[13:04] <Kurza> ct
[13:04] <Kurza> oops wrong channel.
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> babyswizz: yes but the script fixes them
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> esperegu: killall pulseaudio
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  i'm testing the script in a chroot :)
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> esperegu: it will then autorestart
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: as soon as I see 'hash mismatch' in apt-get I deploy that script
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: step 5 here, is all it is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure

[13:11] <demonoid_me> hello to all
[13:11] <demonoid_me> i need some help
[13:11] <SteveBell> ActionParsnip: could you elaborate on what you meant by "I'd just use backups"?
[13:11] <demonoid_me> how can i create bootable usb with  acronis disk?
[13:12] <demonoid_me> acronis disk file (iso file)
[13:12] <demonoid_me> ?
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> SteveBell: your data is backed up, right?
[13:12] <demonoid_me> exoooooooooooooo
[13:12] <demonoid_me> :D
[13:15] <SteveBell> ActionParsnip: yes, I can erase that disk. my main question is, if that drive should still be fully operational. don't mind re-formatting
[13:16] <SteveBell> although that would be the third time I go through the 2 day process of cloning 2TB :P
[13:16] <bgardner> SteveBell: You might want to do a surface test on the drive if it took a sharp impact as you describe.
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> SteveBell: there are tools on the ultimate boot cd, it will test the drive extensively using the manufacturers tool
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> SteveBell: they have the tols from the main drive manufacturers
[13:18] <SteveBell> bgardner: ActionParsnip thanks for the hints. don't have a boot cd. but have a bottable USB. but since it's an external drive wouldn't be booting up the "normal" ubuntu on the machine be sufficient to access those tests?
[13:18] <SteveBell> * bootable
[13:22] <squig> im trying to find a way to make my computer stop trying to use the wireless connection available on my phone over the inbuilt ethernet
[13:23] <esperegu> ActionParsnip: killing it does not seem to work properly

[13:31] <VictorCL> I ge this error when running tideSDK

[13:32] <VictorCL> strings /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX only shows up to 3.4.14
[13:32] <VictorCL> how can I get the .15 ???
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> VictorCL  what ubuntu version? if you want something newer than what's in the repos, you need a ppa, but that's not supported here
[13:34] <VictorCL> 11.04
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> 11.04 is !eol

[13:48] <b14d3> I'm having some issues with getting my gui to load at boot. It boots to a blank screen. I have the nomodeset fix implemented in grub, so that shouldn't be the problem. I have a Radeon HD 6670. Every time my computer boots it inflates my .xsession-errors file until it takes up the rest of the space on the HD. This is far beyond my current skill level with Linux. I can access the machine via ssh still, so I should be able to get any i

[13:55] <bgardner> b14d3: Show us (paste.ubuntu.com) the result of tail -n 100 .xsession-errors
[13:56] <SteveBell> bgardner: would this work for a ext2 drive? sudo apt-get install badblocks
[13:56] <SteveBell> sudo badblocks /dev/sda
[13:57] <SteveBell> or more like fsck.ext2 -c ?
[13:57] <bgardner> SteveBell: Those actually work out to be the same thing
[13:58] <SteveBell> but since I saw all that messy output from the e2fsck wouldn't a re-format be appropriate?
[13:58] <bgardner> SteveBell: But yes, do that.  You can include the -w parameter if you are sure you don't need the contents of the drive.
[13:58] <b14d3> bgardner: Can't currently. In order to get it to save anything I had to delete it. It was no longer saving my irssi configuration. But, I'll return in just a second with that. Will only take a minute or so.
[13:59] <SteveBell> bgardner: so I'd reformat maybe to ext4 then do fsck.ext4 -c -w ?
[14:00] <bgardner> SteveBell: If you want to call it from fsck, then it's -c -c, not -c -w
[14:00] <bgardner> SteveBell: Otherwise yes.
[14:00] <SteveBell> ok perfect.
[14:01]  * SteveBell wanders of to a long drive test and then mirroring the backup drive :)
