[11:24] <ActionParsnip> loa: what if the drive IDE fails. Where is your data?
[11:24] <hitsujiTMO> sharpshooter: that could be dangerous ... whats the output of ?: ls -l /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-32-generic/include/linux
[11:24] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS \n \l
[11:24] <kali_eskrima> k1l yes its still blocked
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> kali_eskrima: have you tried:   sudo rfkill unblock all
[11:24] <loa> ActionParsnip, i want to save data, but it is not so expensive for 100% save
[11:25] <loa> all my really usefull data is in dropbox
[11:25] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO,
[11:25] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6221984/
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> loa: then you can delete the folders except home and install to the partition using the 'something else' option. Set it as / but not to be formatted
[11:25] <hitsujiTMO> weird the file is there, just not showing up in locate
[11:26] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Just a question. Is this a lenovo laptop by chance? Is only wifi blocked, or is bluetooth blocked too?
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> hitsujiTMO:  you have recently yupdated the locate database?
[11:26] <foo357> ActionParsnip: I'm looking at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaClientGuide and it says that you should be able to see shares by doing "smbclient -L //server -U user" ... how should the server be specified?
[11:26] <ItsMeLenny> ActionParsnip, is there something like chkdsk on linux
[11:26] <theadmin> ItsMeLenny: fsck.
[11:26] <kali_eskrima> Rory no it shouldnt be dualbooting. i had win8, i donwloaded 12.04 ubuntu and made a bootavble cd and installed and delited win8. i just have been having problems since then,,,,oh but wait,. maybe if i go to bios and check about the wifi... how do i do. what should i enable there. or disable. do you know?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ItsMeLenny: for NTFS I would not advise using anything but Microsoft tools
[11:26] <ItsMeLenny> hmmm
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> ItsMeLenny:   the ntfs checking tools just tag the disk as 'ok' i recall and dosent really fix anything. that can cause issues later
[11:27] <ItsMeLenny> ah
[11:27] <theadmin> It's a pain that FAT32 has this silly filesize limit.
[11:27] <ItsMeLenny> i rekon
[11:27] <theadmin> NTFS is a major problem to get working right :/
[11:27] <kali_eskrima> k1l i dont remember disabling it anywhere. it just started doing on its own. in win8 it was working fine, actual perfectly. when i instaled ubuntu 12.04 it started malfunctioning.... maybe bios? i shoudl go there to see and enable/siable something? any suggestions
[11:27] <ItsMeLenny> i shouldve went with exfat
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> you MIGHT beable to force the ntfs to mount (read only perhaps?) with the ntfs-3g command.  then  read your files. but writeing to the disk may not be a good idea
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: if only Microsoft could somehow find out how Linux based file systems worked.....
[11:28] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: There's a filesystem driver for ext2 and ext3.
[11:28] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Is of free software, even. But I don't trust it much...
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: exactly, part of the OS, to allow users to access data
[11:28] <foo357> ActionParsnip: ok by doing "smbclient -L //<hostname of server> -U someuser" I can see a list of shares. Anonymous login is ok too so I don't even have to supply a password
[11:28] <ItsMeLenny> Dr_Willis, i'm very slowly pulling everything off, im just worried about killing this new hard drive if that actually is the problem, but i feel its the controller board in this external WD
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> foo357: ok, mount away, is it ok?
[11:29] <ItsMeLenny> maybe i should just which to Ext4
[11:29] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip yes did that few days ago, and it worked. than i started the laptop, didnt work no more. it says again.. .that the wireless is disabled by the hardware switch.... which i dont  understand.. hm. it did it on its own. it was working fine with win8. and in ubuntu  i fixed it few days ago and it worked. today no  more, same old story again
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> ItsMeLenny:  if the disk is to never be used on a windows machine. that would be a good idea
[11:29] <hitsujiTMO> ok, sharpshooter try changing from """#include <net/ieee80211.h>""" to """#include <linux/ieee80211.h>"""
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> kali_eskrima: do you dual boot the system?
[11:29] <ItsMeLenny> is ext4 actually alright for portability
[11:30] <Caelum> is there a cinnamon channel somewhere? no one in #cinnamon
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> ItsMeLenny: Windows cannot ouch it as far as I am aware
[11:30] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO, ok
[11:30] <ItsMeLenny> Dr_Willis, i think it will be
[11:30] <kali_eskrima> minimec no its asus x75a/ just the wifi blocked. the bluetooth i can switch on and off...
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> Caelum: could try the mint channel
[11:30] <ItsMeLenny> is the problem*
[11:30] <kali_eskrima> i have lenovo laptop too and it works great, never ever had a problem. it runs on 12.10
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> Caelum: cinammon is also in the ubuntu repos, so is supported here
[11:30] <loa> Rory, ActionParsnip what do you think about stability issues? How i can detect them?
[11:30] <galaxyAbstractor> Hello, we have some issues with a Ubuntu 13.04 install. All the menues and launcher are gone and we cannot start applications (since the launcher is completely gone)
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> kali_eskrima: different hardware in the different system....
[11:31] <ItsMeLenny> virtual box couldnt recognise it
[11:31] <hans__> Looking for an evaluation of the last update
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> i noticed the qtrazor desktop is in the 13.10 repos. :) good to get more desktops to play with.
[11:31] <galaxyAbstractor> We've tried opening a terminal with ctrl + alt + t but it doesn't do anything
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> hans__: update of what?
[11:31] <Caelum> in saucy I can't seem to turn off screen locking, I checked the disable lock screen thing in gconf-editor and I turned it off in screen prefs, but it still locks on waking the display
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Caelum: saucy is not supported here til release day
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> Caelum: ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> galaxyAbstractor:  this is a brand new install?   tell the channel your video card/chipset and drivers youa re using also.
[11:31] <hans__> ubuntu 10.04
[11:31] <Caelum> thanks
[11:32] <galaxyAbstractor> The only thing we can see is desktop and a couple of random files on the desktop, also we can open the settings dialog (but the apply button is missing)
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> hans__: on the desktop?
[11:32] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Ok. I asked, because I had to reset BIOS to default settings on my last Lenovo laptop, after a battery power fail for example.
[11:32] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip no i dont dual boot. just ubuntu 12.04
[11:32] <eivl> Is it possible to uninstall from apt-get?
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> eivl: yes
[11:32] <galaxyAbstractor> Dr_Willis: pretty much, I have no idea what kind of video cards these computers are using
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> eivl: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[11:32] <eivl> thanks ActionParsnip =)
[11:33] <ItsMeLenny> does linux do exfat?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> eivl: man apt-get
[11:33] <galaxyAbstractor> Intel Q45/Q43 according to the System details window, Dr_Willis
[11:33] <ItsMeLenny> oh, exfat isnt supported in xp anyway
[11:33] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip. so different hardware in dif system.. means like i shouldnt have installed ubuntu and delited the win8?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> galaxyAbstractor:  well start with a 'apt-get update, and apt-get dist-upgrade' in teh consoles.   to be sure the systems are up to date. Most intel video shoul dbe supported out of the box.
[11:33] <foo357> ActionParsnip: If I try to do an anonymous login (just pressing enter at password promt) I get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. If I supply a password I get NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
[11:33] <minimec> kali_eskrima: ... to get wifi work again. rfkill showed a 'hard blocked' wifi device in that case.
[11:33] <hans__> yes. I've noticed strange behaviour after the security update yesterday and I want to know more about it
[11:33] <galaxyAbstractor> Dr_Willis: How do we do that?
[11:34] <ItsMeLenny> NTFS5? hmmm
[11:34] <kali_eskrima> minimec i see... hmmm maybe i should do to, but im afraid i mightnot know ho to do next. in case i fail to do something.
[11:34] <galaxyAbstractor> If we restart it only goes back to the login screen again
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> galaxyAbstractor:  use the console..
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> or text mode
[11:34] <eivl> ActionParsnip: i where aware about the man command, i just did not think about it first
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> galaxyAbstractor:  alt-ctrl-f1
[11:34] <hitsujiTMO> galaxyAbstractor: ctrl + alt + f1
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> !text
[11:34] <galaxyAbstractor> ah ty
[11:34] <galaxyAbstractor> Not used to ubuntu/linux
[11:35] <hitsujiTMO> galaxyAbstractor: did you do anything or try to install anything before this happened?
[11:35] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/6222031/
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> galaxyAbstractor:  you may also want to install a fallback desktop such as 'lubuntu-desktop'  which should work without any 3d drivers.
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[11:35] <hans__> Before actualize I would like to know if the update doesn't create a new problem.
[11:36] <minimec> kali_eskrima: I don't know if you have some 'UEFI BIOS', or the normal 'old' BIOS. Normally a BIOS reset should not harm your machine.
[11:36] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO, I guess the file that includes have wrong path's declared right ?
[11:36] <galaxyAbstractor> hitsujiTMO: We installed Virtualbox to run minix, and dropbox, that's all we did
[11:36] <ItsMeLenny> since its been formatted to NTFS using disk utility, if i just pull everything off and format it to ext4 will that effect performance, or should i do a write zeros pass first
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> hans__: desktop Lucid is EOL and no longer supported
[11:36] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO, So i need to rewrite all those path in source ?
[11:37] <hitsujiTMO> sharpshooter: looks like theres a number of errors with the code
[11:37] <kali_eskrima> minimec http://paste.ubuntu.com/6222034/
[11:37] <galaxyAbstractor> Hmm, unity is the desktop environment right?
[11:37] <sharpshooter> hitsujiTMO, I will work around with is and let you know if any problem occurred  !
[11:38] <hans__> I understand, but in general: how to know about the problems people encounter after installing the security updates?
[11:38] <kali_eskrima> minimec yes i have the new uefi bios which really brought me to the extreme of brain. i really did an extensive reasearch for weeks, to then realize that i needed to disable secure boot, i even couldnt find it
[11:39] <galaxyAbstractor> Ah we solved it, someone probably had a grudge against us or something and removed unity -.-
[11:39] <kali_eskrima> minimec im used to old bios, its easy. i found out that the new uefi bios is set by the microsof to not accept linux programs .
[11:39] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip so what did you meant...
[11:39] <galaxyAbstractor> Installing it again solved it, but unity uninstalled all our apps :/
[11:39] <hitsujiTMO> Sharpshooter: i'd presume that the module you're trying to build is written for a much older kernel
[11:40] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip what are your thoughts. or conclusion about different driver...
[11:40] <galaxyAbstractor> They even went as far as removing the software center lol
[11:40] <minimec> kali_eskrima: That's the problem with that UEFI stuff. ;) I have no experience at all with UEFI, sorry. So it could be that you reenable secure boot, when resetting UEFI to default values.
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> kali_eskrima: worth a try
[11:41] <hitsujiTMO> galaxyAbstractor: prob a dependency conflict with one of the apps you installed triggered it
[11:42] <galaxyAbstractor> Probably Dropbox then, as virtualbox worked across reboots
[11:42] <ItsMeLenny> ActionParsnip, do you know if that disk utility is reliable, its what made the ntfs unclean in the first place
[11:43] <kali_eskrima> minimec i was thinking too, if i go back to uefi and re enable the secure boot while i have already installed ubuntu. i was wondering whats gonna happen. and yes uefi changed the game
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> ItsMeLenny: bad unmounts, sudden unplugs and power loss
[11:44] <kali_eskrima> ActionParsnip sorry i dont understand,. maybe i missed a thread u sent me.. what is worth a try.. i just changed from windows 8 to ubuntu. but im sure i completely cleared the win 8 and delited all and installed ubuntu. i must have missed something.....???
[11:45] <ItsMeLenny> ActionParsnip, i mean i used it to format to ntfs, and its unclean straight away
[11:45] <minimec> kali_eskrima: hmm... ('go back to UEFI') meaning, that you use the 'normal' BIOS option now? If that is the case, I would try to reset the BIOS.
[11:45] <hans__> is there any webpage where the roll-out of the last security-update is evaluated?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> hans__: you can read your own updates by reading /var/log/dpkg.log
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> hans__: I suggest you upgrade to Precise. Lucid desktop is no longer supported by the community
[11:47] <hans__> thanks! I'm going to read that.
[11:48] <kali_eskrima> minimec no i meant this. when i finally figured out that secure boot was preventing me from runing the livecd ubuntu 12.04, when i was gonna change from win8, i actually disabled it
[11:48] <minimec> kali_eskrima: I certainly guess you tried the hardware switch on your machine. Looking at the images for your device the key shoud be the 'F2' key or 'FN'+'F2'. Just in case... ;)
[11:49] <kali_eskrima> minmec so now i wanted to go back to bios uefi and just re enable it while i have ubuntu os. i was just afraid to do it, becuase i didnt know what its gonna happen. will it let me still run ubuntu os or will again block me out like a dumb
[11:49] <kali_eskrima> minimec i tried that fn f2 is not working. like is freaking dead.
[11:49] <kali_eskrima> sorry the language.
[11:50] <kali_eskrima> minimec i got a bit upset because i have been having problems with this. and the worse thing is that i dont know much about linux and i really wish i would know more. to help myself
[11:51] <minimec> kali_eskrima: And simply pressing 'F2'. Newer Laptops set the 'F*'-keys as second option, as the 'F*' keys are rarely used.
[11:52] <kali_eskrima> minimec so anyway i wanted to update to 12.10 few days ago,. and it downloaded the update, and when the system asked me to restart the laptop to give effect the changes, guess what... the ubuntu os and desktop wouldnt even start. like is broken, wouldnt even load to the sign in screen, for password. i just had some glichy image quickly and than black screen with underscore. no keyboard or nothing worked. you dont know how many
[11:53] <kali_eskrima> minimec i dont know if i told u but my wireless was fixed few days ago. i fixed it and today is like i never fixed anything... and i didnt touch no settings. all on its own
[11:54] <hans__> No thanks, I don't want to change anything on this old laptop; Precise with the gnome-fallback does not behave like this 10.04
[11:55] <whatever_42> i just created a software raid using mdadm. how ever one hard drive is used as spare device?
[11:55] <minimec> kali_eskrima: What you describe is a typical xserver failure. So after the update, the xserver hanged for the device. By the way... You should not update to 12.10. Either stay with 12.04, or switch to the newest release. That's my opinion.
[11:55] <ikonia> whatever_42: depends how you created it if you allocated a spare
[11:55] <hans__> Nautilus is different in the fallback
[11:55] <hans__> I'm only a user
[11:56] <whatever_42> i did not want a spare device ^^
[11:56] <ikonia> whatever_42: that doesn't change what I just said
[11:56] <whatever_42> true
[11:57] <kali_eskrima> minimec so what means new realease... 13? where do i find it... and will my system have xserver error.,... failure. do you know what and why it happend while uploading to 12.10?
[11:58] <charnel> after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 after boot I am getting a blank screen and a cursor. How can I fix it ?
[11:58] <mrrcp> why are people upgrading?
[11:58] <mrrcp> whats the point to upgrade from a stable to a non stable?
[11:59]  * mrrcp shakes his head
[11:59] <whatever_42> how do i keep mdadm from creating a spare device? i am having 3 x 3 TBte drives. so basically i should be able to have 6 Tbyte right?
[11:59] <charnel> I wanted to try the 13.x
[11:59] <ikonia> whatever_42: what mdadm command did you use
[11:59] <whatever_42> http://www.howinthetech.com/quick-and-dirty-linux-software-raid5/
[11:59] <hans__> ok so when there is an update available I would like to read on the internet the problems people encounter after installing this update
[11:59] <mrrcp> lol
[11:59] <kali_eskrima> minimec  k1l helped me earlier by giving me the sudo update apt and i still have to restart my laptop to see if the changes took place. it might be working now. will have to see in a bit. i just needed to get more help on different things while i can speak to you guys while you guys can,.
[12:00] <mrrcp> ok
[12:00] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Ok. So reboot and come back here. We will stay tuned.
[12:00] <mrrcp> X error
[12:01] <ciastek> I'd like to have an eye on root's mail on remote server. Is it a good idea, to install dovecot and receive messages with local client?
[12:02] <kali_eskrima> minimec will you explain me where to get the 13 or the newest edition ubuntu. and do you think will it crash again my xserver...?  i really need to get my laptop to work because i have work to do, and i cant..... :/
[12:02] <ItsMeLenny> i just dont partition the drive, so it appears as /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1
[12:02] <foxy1604> Hello!!
[12:02] <minimec> kali_eskrima: I guess you have a dedicated GPU in that laptop, and you were using the restricted drivers for the GPU, when you upgraded. That could explain the xserver failure after upgrade.
[12:03] <ItsMeLenny> ah, now see, ext4 is already using 50GB despite nothing being on the drive, how do i fix that?
[12:03] <minimec> kali_eskrima: the integrated Intel i3-7 series GPU should not make any problems.
[12:03] <kali_eskrima> minimec who give me the restricted drivers.. and where did i found them,. i was just updating from ubuntu update...
[12:04] <hans__> In the morning to you foxy1604 but i'm waiting on a response
[12:04] <whatever_42> ikonia: i even added the parameter --spare-devices=0 and it still uses one drive as spare
[12:04] <kali_eskrima> i see i have intel i5
[12:04] <ikonia> whatever_42: can you please give me the EXACT command you run
[12:04] <ikonia> not a link to an example
[12:04] <ikonia> the EXACT command
[12:05] <minimec> kali_eskrima: ok. and there is no dedicated Nvidia AMD(ATI) GPu in it?
[12:05] <kali_eskrima> minimec i dont know..
[12:05] <whatever_42> ikonia: sudo mdadm --create /dev/md1 --chunk=64 --level=raid5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
[12:05] <kali_eskrima> minimec what is the command to find out what do i have
[12:06] <ikonia> whatever_42: ok, so can I now see in a pastebin, the output of "cat /proc/mdstat"
[12:06] <hans__> After a security update yesterday i find strange behaviour (libreoffice-errors, fast link button bar in chrome dissappeared)
[12:06] <minimec> kali_eskrima: can you 'pastebin' the results of the command 'lspci' for me
[12:06] <kali_eskrima> ok
[12:07] <whatever_42> ikonia: here you go
[12:07] <whatever_42> http://pastebin.com/9hREYhj3
[12:07] <kali_eskrima> minimec i think i did that beofre for k1l
[12:07] <kali_eskrima> let me see if its still active
[12:07] <hans__> So from now on I would like to read peoples evaluation after installing updates
[12:07] <hans__> cannot find where updates are evaluated
[12:07] <ikonia> whatever_42: no spare there, and the array is still building
[12:08] <faugusztin> whatever_42: http://serverfault.com/a/43581
[12:08] <whatever_42> then what about this? http://pastebin.com/Enn3MWnq
[12:08] <kali_eskrima> minimec http://paste.ubuntu.com/6221936/     or this  ?
[12:09] <whatever_42> so the total array size is 6 TByte?
[12:09] <ikonia> whatever_42: "rebuilding" is the key word, your array is still being assembled
[12:09] <faugusztin> whatever_42: see the link i gave you
[12:09] <kali_eskrima> minimec http://paste.ubuntu.com/6221859/
[12:09] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Ok. Got it. You don't have any additioinal GPU.
[12:09] <hans__> Is there a way to undo updates?
[12:09] <k1l> hans__: there is no evaluation. problems with ubuntu get reported to launchpad.net but 10.04 is EOL for desktop.
[12:09] <ikonia> whatever_42: if you look at /proc/mdstat you'll see there is no spare allocated
[12:09] <k1l> !bug | hans__
[12:09] <k1l> !EOL | hans__
[12:10] <hans__> But I got a security update for 10.04 yesterday
[12:10] <auronandace> hans__: it is only supported on the server
[12:10] <whatever_42> ikonia: so the UU_ is normal?
[12:10] <ikonia> whatever_42: it's building, it should go to UUU when it's assembled
[12:10] <faugusztin> whatever_42: it is quicker for initial rebuild
[12:11] <faugusztin> whatever_42: the link i gave you explains it - it builds with spare, then adds it to the array
[12:11] <whatever_42> ok. so can i start using it now? or should i wait for the assembly?
[12:11] <ikonia> whatever_42: god no
[12:12] <ikonia> whatever_42: it needs to be built befor eyou even consider putting a file system on it
[12:12] <ScUbun> I have a cosair M90 keyboard but the Numlock, capslock and scroll lock LEDs won't work on Linux. Any idea?
[12:12] <hans__> Thanks! I'll be reading that, Ciao!
[12:12] <waykool99> why did Canonical wipe the download URL's for Ubuntu Studio v10.04.4 LTS 64 bit DVD/ISO 1.7 GB?
[12:12] <whatever_42> ikonia: does this only apply to raid5 arrays? because i was able to use my raid 1 you see in the pasteebin before it was done
[12:12] <ikonia> whatever_42: you should not touch arrays until they are built
[12:13] <cfhowlett> waykool99, because 10.04 is end of life
[12:13] <faugusztin> whatever_42: you can use it, but it will totally slow down the rebuild process.
[12:13] <whatever_42> ikonia: ok. can i ask it to increase the speed?
[12:13] <ikonia> whatever_42: no
[12:13] <whatever_42> or rather force it
[12:13] <waykool99> but... they still archive studio v9.x
[12:13] <ikonia> whatever_42: no again
[12:14] <faugusztin> ScUbun: flash the "BIOS/standard mode" firmware ?
[12:14] <cfhowlett> waykool99, some reason you don't want a *supported* version?
[12:15] <waykool99> i found v 9, 11, 12, 13 but no 10.04
[12:15] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Ok. Back to your wifi... Can you give me the output of 'uname -a'?
[12:15] <whatever_42> ok. when the device name sdX changes mdadm won't break?
[12:15] <ikonia> whatever_42: sorry what ?

[12:15] <kali_eskrima> minimec thank you just a sec
[12:15] <ScUbun> I've just actually done that, ha! It works but then the Scroll Lock keeps flashing on and off. I've just set my keyboard to 16-bit with sudo kbd_mode -u and it all works except the Caps Lock LED doesn't.

[12:16] <whatever_42> in case i plug the sata cable to another port on my mainboard this should change the label of the hard drive, right?
[12:16] <faugusztin> ScUbun: did you used that WinLock+F1 too ?
[12:16] <ikonia> whatever_42: no, it should not change it
[12:16] <ikonia> whatever_42: and your mdadm config should be referencing uuid
[12:16] <ScUbun> Yea, the standard mode makes the board work like a charm but that flashing LED is annoying... lol
[12:16] <whatever_42> ikonia: so how do i do that now? i haven't rebuilded my mdadm.conf yet
[12:16] <faugusztin> ScUbun: well yeah, that is a feature if you read the description :) complain at corsair forums :)
[12:17] <ikonia> whatever_42: how do you do what ?
[12:17] <ScUbun> I may just do that :/ I got my M90 to finally work properly.
[12:17] <waykool99> i installed studio v10.04.4 LTS 64 bit for DJing in Second Life. my last ISO/DVD got a crack in it. *dvdisaster* worked for an hour trying to save the data, but no luck
[12:17] <whatever_42> write the uuid to my mdadm.conf
[12:17] <ikonia> whatever_42: you're scaring me a lot, you seem to know nothing about the tools you are using apart from copying and pasting commands
[12:17] <faugusztin> ScUbun: in meantime, duck tape can fix it :P
[12:18] <faugusztin> ScUbun: *duct tape
[12:18] <Caelum> #ubuntu+1 is very dead :(
[12:18] <cfhowlett> waykool99, you were running the live session?  why not install?
[12:19] <ScUbun> Any decent ubuntu/linux boards around without a windoz key?
[12:19] <waykool99> installed it on 5 pc's for 3 years
[12:19] <cfhowlett> Caelum, last few weeks before launch?  I'd assume they're busy as beavers getting ready
[12:19] <ikonia> ScUbun: it's called "windows"
[12:19] <waykool99> i loved studio 10.04
[12:19] <ScUbun> windohz*
[12:19] <faugusztin> ScUbun: you have a mechanical keyboard, get yourself a custom linux keycap
[12:19] <ikonia> ScUbun: no, "windows"
[12:19] <ScUbun> Windoh?
[12:19] <cfhowlett> waykool99, using an out of support version is not recommended.
[12:19] <ScUbun> Oh yeah - never thought of that
[12:19] <whatever_42> ikonia: i wouldn't go that far yet maybe i don't express myself correctly
[12:19] <ikonia> ScUbun: I'd advise you not to push this, please call tools their proper names
[12:20] <ScUbun> All in jest ikonia
[12:20] <ikonia> whatever_42: I am going that far, you don't know how the array build process works, or how to read the output, how to build your config, how the devices are referenced, I'd suggest a bit of basic reading before doing anything more with the array
[12:20] <faugusztin> ScUbun: here you go : http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/os-mx-keycap-set.html they have linux and ubuntu keycaps, it is easier than hunting for keyboards with them built in, especially when you already got a mechanical keyboard
[12:20] <ikonia> whatever_42: thats not a critisism, but knowing the basics before going any more in depth may help you
[12:20] <waykool99> i imagine its not recommended but for advanced audio production, its still the best OS
[12:21] <icmpv6> ikonia
[12:21] <ScUbun> Thanks :)
[12:22] <ikonia> icmpv6: yes ?
[12:22] <icmpv6> ikonia
[12:22] <ikonia> icmpv6: what ?
[12:22] <icmpv6> pici?
[12:22] <kali_eskrima> minimec be right back
[12:22] <Caelum> ubuntu keycaps? you can just get a couple of stickers...
[12:23] <Caelum> or put some electrical tape over them
[12:23] <ScUbun> I built this system for gaming on but don't really have the time anymore. It's kinda overkill - just removed Windows 8 as I cannot stand Metro.
[12:23] <Frank81> join #magento
[12:23] <Frank81> ups
[12:24] <waykool99> using studio v10.04 LTS 32 bit, plus installed 12.04 LTS 64 bit along side. still take gnome2 over XFCE and Unity.
[12:24] <ionutica-99> I need a way to remove all the apps that come with ubuntu so that I only remain with CLI
[12:25] <ikonia> ionutica-99: why ?
[12:25] <ikonia> ionutica-99: why do you need to do that ?
[12:25] <Caelum> ionutica-99: install server version
[12:25] <whatever_42> ikonia: yeah you're right. i'll do that. thanks for now
[12:25] <ionutica-99> well I want to install a display manager and a de of my own
[12:25] <ScUbun> I forgot to ask, I have my ubuntu installation on an SSD, is there anything I should be concerned about? I'd like to prolong the life of my SSD as long as possible.
[12:25] <DJones> !minimal | ionutica-99
[12:26] <ionutica-99> !minimal
[12:26] <Caelum> ScUbun: add discard to fs opts in fstab for ext4
[12:26] <ionutica-99> thanks I now to wipe all of this
[12:26] <ionutica-99> and customize to the MAX!
[12:27] <tangorri> hi
[12:27] <ionutica-99> it needs the proper goodbye sudo apt-get autoremove --purge ubuntu*
[12:27] <tangorri> just installed ubuntu13 on vm, but something as gone wrong as it ask me to login with ubuntu13 accout, what would be the default password please ?
[12:29] <Caelum> ionutica-99: making up commands isn't going to work
[12:29] <lesshaste> Caelum, what does discard do?
[12:29] <Caelum> ionutica-99: you can just run tasksel and remove unity and install the de of your choice
[12:30] <Caelum> lesshaste: turn on trim
[12:30] <lesshaste> Caelum, do you get any warnings when your ssd starts to corrupt?
[12:30] <Caelum> ssds don't do that
[12:30] <Americanu> hello there
[12:30] <abangg> helllo
[12:30] <lesshaste> Caelum, sorry but what does trim do?
[12:31] <Americanu> can someone tell me why steam gives me the error: glXChooseVisual failed , i'm using ATI Radeon HD 3200 :)
[12:31] <abangg> can i ask something about linux?
[12:31] <mrrcp> !ask
[12:31] <Caelum> lesshaste: it rebalances the data so that the flash chips don't wear out as fast
[12:31] <abangg> i also wan to ask about steam
[12:31] <lesshaste> Caelum, ok.. and what happens when a flash chip does wear out?
[12:31] <tangorri> ubuntu should allow azerty on login
[12:31] <lesshaste> Caelum, what are the symptoms?
[12:32] <Caelum> lesshaste: it won't write to that chip anymore
[12:32] <lesshaste> Caelum, oh.. that's quite nice.
[12:32] <lesshaste> Caelum, so you don't lose data
[12:32] <abangg> i cannot update steam when i install.. .. how to update? i got error..
[12:32] <Americanu> what error abangg?
[12:32] <Caelum> lesshaste: no you don't lose data...unless it's a crappy OCZ ssd that just dies on you
[12:33] <lesshaste> ok thanks
[12:33] <lesshaste> ocz is a brand?
[12:33] <Caelum> yeah
[12:33] <ionutica-99> wow 35 MB

[12:34] <Zhades> hey guys, i am trying to make a netinstall of ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a VM through the vsphere client, i used the "mini.iso" as mentioned on their website, but everytime i finish the setup till it has to download essential data from a mirror (i tested many) the shell freezes or doesn't do anything more, and i can't do something on a shell cause command
[12:34] <Zhades> s are completely missing, can anybody help me out?
[12:35] <Americanu> can someone tell me why steam gives me the error: glXChooseVisual failed , i'm using ATI Radeon HD 3200 GPU :)
[12:35] <Oliniusz> https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd
[12:36] <ItsMeLenny> ive completely failed at trying to mount ntfs via "mount", any help?
[12:37] <ikonia> ItsMeLenny: you have to provide more info
[12:37] <ItsMeLenny> mount: can't find /dev/sdd1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:37] <ikonia> ItsMeLenny: what command are you typing
[12:37] <ItsMeLenny> sudo mount -r /dev/sdd1
[12:37] <ikonia> ItsMeLenny: that's never going to work
[12:37] <abangg> can i use graphic card HD 5450 in ubuntu??
[12:37] <ikonia> ItsMeLenny: have you put the entry in /etc/fstab ?
[12:37] <abangg> to play games..
[12:37] <hitsujiTMO> Zhades: it could just be taking a while to run? why not use the normal iso?
[12:38] <Zhades> hitsujiTMO: my internet connection to the vsphere is horrible
[12:38] <ItsMeLenny> ikonia, i thought it was somehow in there automatically..
[12:38] <ikonia> nope
[12:39] <hitsujiTMO> zhades ... ssh to the host and wget the iso to the datastore ... that way the iso is on the server
[12:39] <hitsujiTMO> you can then just mount it from the datastore rather than mounting from client
[12:39] <ItsMeLenny> ikonia, is there a different command that doesnt require adding to fstab
[12:40] <ikonia> ItsMeLenny: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdd1 /where/you/want/to/mount/it
[12:40] <ceil> what's wrong with adding to fstab?
[12:40] <kali_eskrima> minimec did you got my uname
[12:40] <ItsMeLenny> ikonia, how would i add read only to that?
[12:41] <Zhades> hitsujiTMO: yeah, i tried that, the problem is my server provider is setting up ssh till the next week (some holiday or something) that means this is actually the only way i can install it, at least to my knowledge...
[12:41] <minimec> kali_eskrima: yes.
[12:41] <ikonia> -o rw
[12:41] <ikonia> ItsMeLenny: why don't you do a bit of basic research before just trying random commands
[12:41] <Zhades> Zhades: ever tried a scp/ssh conversion?
[12:42] <hitsujiTMO> Zhades: can you no enable ssh yourself in the client?
[12:42] <ItsMeLenny> ikonia, i had
[12:42] <ItsMeLenny> id been to about 20 different sites and did what they said
[12:42] <ItsMeLenny> also, wouldnt rw mean read write?
[12:43] <ikonia> sory ro
[12:43] <minimec> kali_eskrima: So it looks, that newer kernels or ubuntu versions could have better support for your card. I would try to boot a 13.10 live install on a usb stick or cdrom. See how it works.
[12:43] <Zhades> i don't see any option in the vsphere, i can only set some vm essentials like ram or cpu, but i can't go to the machine nor the direct console it is disabled till my provdied activates ssh
[12:44] <ItsMeLenny> ikonia, ok that finally mounted, thankyou very much
[12:45] <Zhades> if i surpass the firewall would it be a violation even if i am the customer?
[12:45] <Zhades> s/the/their
[12:45] <minimec> kali_eskrima: I don't know whethter that solves your 'hard blocked' problem, but again there I would consider a 1. test hardware switch; 2. try rfkill; 3. reset BIOS.
[12:45] <abangg> i try install again..(steam)
[12:46] <kali_eskrima> minimec ok thanks, i will restart my system and see what next., one more thing, i would like to go into bios when i will be restarting my system. how do i enter the bios? im using asus x75a. i want to see if my wifi is disconnected. and do you know if i enable back secure boot, will it in ANY way alter my current ubuntu os? i mean if i do enable it, what will hapen, or is there even any point enabling back again secure boot?
[12:46] <aalecs> i used dpkg get selections, set selections, apt-get -u dselect-upgrade and it installed me x86 and I am on x64...
[12:46] <kali_eskrima> minimec what is live cd,,, bootable cd? is the same?
[12:46] <hitsujiTMO> zhades goto config tab on host. goto security profile. hit property on services and enable ssh service
[12:46] <minimec> kali_eskrima: that depends on the brand. search for 'asus access bios' on the web.
[12:47] <minimec> kali_eskrima: The thing you booted up to install ubuntu.
[12:47] <abangg>   i got this fatal error
[12:47] <abangg> steam need to be online to update please conform
[12:48] <Zhades> hitsujiTMO: security profile is grayed, i can't click it
[12:48] <abangg> your network connection
[12:48] <hitsujiTMO> ahh, your account doesn't have permissions then :(
[12:48] <abangg> what i need to do?
[12:49] <bananapie> Cups is giving the error '**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.' but this error is not in the cups source code, any body know which library has this error ?
[12:49] <kali_eskrima> minimec ok. 1 where do i find hardware switch? and how to test it? 2 refkill already did.... couple of times today  3. how to reset bios?
[12:49] <hitsujiTMO> Zhades, the only thing i can suggest is to just wait at that point if the install, it could simply just be downloading a lot of data
[12:50] <kali_eskrima> minimec oh ok i will download from website 13. something (i forgot) and boot the ubuntu on it.
[12:50] <minimec> kali_eskrima: After the reboot 'F2' 'FN'+'F2'...
[12:50] <nightmare365> hi guys which library contains dladdr()?
[12:50] <DJones> !find dladdr
[12:51] <kali_eskrima> minimec ok.
[12:51] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Go for 13.10!
[12:51] <DJones> nightmare365: See the bots response above
[12:51] <nightmare365> thanks
[12:51] <bananapie> !find Unable to open the initial device
[12:51] <kali_eskrima> minimec got it!
[12:51] <bananapie> !find 'Unable to open the initial device'
[12:51] <Zhades> hitsujiTMO: i tried it yesterday over night, and also on a local vm which took only 20-30 min to download stuff, i think the problem is elsewhere....
[12:51] <nightmare365> DJones: thanks
[12:55] <abangg> fatal error : steam need to be online to update please conform your network ..
[12:55] <Snowie> evening all
[12:55] <abangg> anyone can help me??
[12:56] <nightmare365> !find ssl
[12:56] <Snowie> have a ubuntu machine here. have ubuntu server version on amazon ec2. Is it possible to connect libre office base on local machine to mysql on server? if so, any reading material on same?
[12:56] <nightmare365> !find openssl
[12:56] <DJones> abangg: I don't use steam but might be worth asking in #ubuntu-steam (which I think is the support channel for steam issues), may be fairly quiet though so could take a while to get a response
[12:57] <hylian> I wonder how many times people created channels like ubnutu, lol.
[12:57] <abangg> ok thank you very much :)
[12:57] <loulan> hi.
[12:57] <loulan> I have dependency problems when I try to install things.
[12:57] <loulan> :/
[12:57] <Snowie> nightmare365: was that for me?
[12:57] <hylian> loulan: what does it say exactly?
[12:57] <loulan> and apt-get install -f doesn't say anything
[12:58] <loulan> it gives a lists of unsatisfied dependencies
[12:58] <nightmare365> Snowie: nope
[12:58] <hylian> loulan: i need to restart, be right back
[12:58] <loulan> saying that they won't be installed
[12:58] <abangg> how can i update my graphic driver in ubuntu?
[12:59] <nightmare365> Snowie: was trying to find libopenssl-dev or smthing
[12:59] <fidel> abangg: it most likely depends on which gfx-driver you need and want to install
[12:59] <fidel> as a first step
[12:59] <fidel> and you should only mess with that if you have issues right now - as messing with gfx-drivers isnt always that trouble-free ;)
[13:00] <Snowie> lspci | grep VGA
[13:00] <Snowie> to see what card you have first of all
[13:02] <hylian> sorry, that took longer than I thought it would.
[13:03] <Snowie> omg, i realise ive been looking at the wrong thing this whole time. nm, PEACE

[13:06] <bashiier> hello
[13:07] <mrrcp> hi
[13:08] <bashiier> im having issues trying to install without a cd i can make a disk because i dont have one and i know there is a way to install with out it but i dont remember how to any ideas?
[13:08] <bashiier> cant*
[13:09] <Zhades> ok i managed to download all the stuff via a forced wget script behind the firewall, now i am able to partition the disk, but i never heard of partition tables (aix,amiga,bsd,dvh,gpt,mac,msdos,pc98,sun,loop), for what are they actuall (do they make raid setup or something?)
[13:11] <kali_eskrima> minimec ok i restarted the laptop. the button f2 and than fn f2 dont work. the wifi still is greyed out and still says that is disabled by hardware. which i cant understand,. what hardware??? and then i went into uefi bios, and the nework and wifi are unlocked. so it should be good.
[13:14] <qwebirc74224> is there a way to find out who is in a channel? (besides the list at the beginning?
[13:15] <geirha> qwebirc74224: There are over 1700 in this channel. Are you sure you want that list?
[13:15] <Zhades> you can filter the names i think
[13:16] <faugusztin> qwebirc74224: or use a client which shows the list, like xchat
[13:17] <minimec> kali_eskrima: ok. So you are still on 12.04, right?
[13:17] <kali_eskrima> minimec yes.,
[13:18] <kali_eskrima> minimec im rite now trying to find out how to download the bootable cd or iso image. im one some ubuntu 13.10 website following directions.
[13:18] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Do the other 'hardware' keys react? Can you change backlight for example?
[13:18] <kali_eskrima> minimec oh let me try
[13:19] <minimec> kali_eskrima: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[13:19] <abangg> i love ubuntu.. ubuntu look very cool :)
[13:20] <kali_eskrima> minimec yes they work.
[13:20] <kali_eskrima> but not the key for wi fi
[13:20] <hellyeah> how can i check on ubuntu is there a firewall or not
[13:20] <minimec> kali_eskrima: ok
[13:22] <kali_eskrima> minimec thank you :) i will go try now to download and create the livecd. i will have to come back tomorrow. if here i would appreciate help. thank you very much for patience and help! hopefully i get more done tomorrow with new verison. oh and before i go. so i just start and install new version all in new, not upgrade right?
[13:22] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Are you connected by 'wire' to the network right now?
[13:22] <kali_eskrima> yes
[13:22] <kali_eskrima> minimec yes
[13:23] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Well read that comment... ;) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1621768&p=10118002#post10118002
[13:23] <kali_eskrima> minimec i tried disconnecting from wire and seeing if i can connect. but it wont.. its like disabled.... weird!
[13:23] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Reboot once without the cable and try all the commands... ;) Maybe your laptop blocks the wifi card when 'wired'...
[13:25] <minimec> kali_eskrima: ok. Then try to to 'sudo rm /dev/rfkill', then 'sudo reboot'. That shouldn't harm your installatioin. ;)
[13:26] <Zhades> is kernel-virtual just kernel with kvm capabilities?
[13:27] <mircoblitz> Hi, can someone please helpme quick. I try to install nginx-extras on an ubuntu precise server, but i get this message from apt-get   nginx-extras : Depends: nginx-common (= 1.1.19-1ubuntu0.2) but 1.4.1-1~dotdeb.1 is to be installed
[13:28] <kali_eskrima> minimec AHA i get it. i will definely try. hope it helps

[13:29] <minimec> kali_eskrima: whole thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1621768&p=10118002#post10118002
[13:30] <ikonia> mircoblitz: you've setup / added a 3rd party repo called dotdeb that conflicts
[13:30] <Pici> mircoblitz: You are using the dotdeb repositories, aren't you? We do not provide support for them and they really shouldn't be used on Ubuntu anyway.
[13:31] <mircoblitz> My ill working partner did. and that on the other hand is needed to install the correct php5 version :-( Howto solve ?
[13:31] <ionutica-99> now I need a very lightweight de that doesn't use many resources or less than unity-2ed
[13:32] <ionutica-99> *unity-2d
[13:32] <SadlyMistaken> Hello there. Could someone help me with SANE? I got printer works, but not Scanner (It is a combi printer-scanner)
[13:32] <kali_eskrima> minimec one more thing , i tried using my  wifi witch is already been set up an working by my router few days ago. and after trying all differnt things it still wouldnt work. not even picking thethering with my phone. it usually does. i wonder if this is a ubunt bug or just my laptop
[13:32] <ikonia> mircoblitz: undo all he did
[13:32] <geirha> ionutica-99: lxde or xfce perhaps, or you could just use a wm
[13:32] <ionutica-99> wm? what's that
[13:32] <mircoblitz> Cant, then theres a wrong php version on teh system wich breaks our site
[13:33] <ionutica-99> anything except twm(what I use now, temporarely)
[13:33] <ikonia> mircoblitz: then you need to either look at getting packages from sane resources that don't conflict or accept the limitations
[13:33] <minimec> kali_eskrima: I don't understand the question, sorry. You tried that on windows?
[13:34] <kali_eskrima> minimec thanks for info will go  try it out, all tips i got.
[13:34] <kali_eskrima> minimec
[13:34] <kali_eskrima> minimec sorry i meant
[13:34] <geirha> ionutica-99: WM means Window Manager. A DE has a window manager plus other tools, like panels and settings and stuff
[13:34] <ionutica-99> ok can you recomend me a WM
[13:34] <jmabudabi> help
[13:34] <ionutica-99> that looks like MATE( but faster)
[13:35] <krux> Fluxbox/Blackbox
[13:35] <krux> razor qt
[13:35] <krux> lxde
[13:35] <jmabudabi> join to ubuntu-ru not workibg
[13:35] <geirha> No idea what MATE is, but I also like fluxbox
[13:35] <jmabudabi> join to ubuntu-ru not working
[13:35] <krux> it's up to you really everybody has defferent needs and likes
[13:35] <kali_eskrima> minimec that i tried few days ago to use my wifi and it worked no problems. and than all of a sudden wouldnt recognize my cell phone hotspot thethering nor my house wifi
[13:35] <ionutica-99> ok lxde
[13:35] <ionutica-99> now how do I install it in ubuntu minimal
[13:36] <kali_eskrima> minimec so i was just wondering if the wifi disabled by hardware switch is a bug or my laptop is tripping out
[13:36] <ikonia> ionutica-99: just insall lubuntu
[13:36] <minimec> kali_eskrima: Did that happen after a kernel update? Otherwise I see no reason for that behaviour.
[13:36] <ikonia> ionutica-99: it's a lightweight dsitro
[13:36] <ikonia> distro
[13:36] <geirha> ionutica-99: you could install lubuntu-desktop  that gives you lxde plus whatever else is installed in a fresh lubuntu install
[13:37] <usuario> hi
[13:37] <usuario> i use linuxmint 14,  cant install whatspp ?
[13:37] <minimec> kali_eskrima: As I told you, I had similar problems. Resetting the BIOS worked in my case, but that was'good old BIOS', not UEFI.
[13:37] <ionutica-99> no I will google and find a untouched version of LXDE for ubuntu
[13:37] <ikonia> usuario: nothing to do with ubuntu - nothing to do with this channel, as you know
[13:37] <kali_eskrima> minimec im not too sure. i think i just installed ubuntu 12.04 and i couldnt connect after few days.
[13:37] <ikonia> ionutica-99: I'm not sure why you are making this so hard for yourself,
[13:37] <krux> yeah
[13:37] <kali_eskrima> i dont rembember if i did any update
[13:38] <ionutica-99> it's not hard everything is so easy after playing with arch
[13:38] <ionutica-99> apt-get install lxde
[13:38] <ikonia> ionutica-99: then why do you seem to not have a clue what you are doing
[13:38] <ikonia> if it's easy
[13:38] <ikonia> you seem to be making everything very hard for yourself for no-obvious reason
[13:38] <otak> jmabudabi91: it's ##ubuntu-ru , o
[13:38] <kali_eskrima> minimec this uefi is weird i really dont like it, it has only few options. not very useful
[13:39] <kali_eskrima> minimec thank you for all help!!
[13:39] <wawrek> hello, I run ubuntu 13.04 and I cannot et sound in/out to work.
[13:39] <ionutica-99> it's the way I like it to install only the programs I need
[13:39] <kali_eskrima> minimec will try install 13.10
[13:39] <wawrek> the docs and forum posts seem to be about previous releases
[13:39] <ikonia> ionutica-99: and you will miss important dependencies as everything in ubuntu is designed to work together.
[13:39] <minimec> kali_eskrima: ok. no. problem. Good luck witch the 13.10 live disk
[13:40] <ionutica-99> those can be installed later
[13:40] <ionutica-99> relax apt-get install lxde only install WM
[13:40] <ikonia> ionutica-99: right...so you'll end up needing them, so why not use the correct meta package to get them in at the right time
[13:40] <ionutica-99> If you want to use the Lubuntu-packages (for Ubuntu-based systems), type apt-get install lubuntu-core lubuntu-icon-theme lubuntu-restricted-extras.
[13:40] <jmabudabi> hello
[13:40] <ikonia> ionutica-99: I know how to use it,
[13:41] <ikonia> ionutica-99: the easy option is to install the lubuntu-desktop meta package
[13:41] <ionutica-99> Ik but that also installs other lubuntu packages not just pure lxde
[13:41] <ikonia> ionutica-99: yes, packages it NEEDS
[13:42] <Tylertwo> Also miscellaneous packages like Leafpad and Lxterminal, etc
[13:42] <ionutica-99> basic lxde doesn't need that
[13:42] <ionutica-99> lubuntu modified packages need that
[13:42] <ikonia> ionutica-99: you're making a mess of this for no reason
[13:43] <ikonia> ionutica-99: I have no idea why you want to do this, and make it so hard/messy for yourself, but fine, carry on
[13:43] <ionutica-99> BTW it's my pc
[13:43] <ionutica-99> Ik what i'm doing
[13:43] <ikonia> so ?
[13:43] <ikonia> ha ha ha
[13:43] <ikonia> "ok" you "know" what you're doing
[13:44] <ikonia> that's why you're asking questions such as how to install packages
[13:44] <ikonia> carry on
[13:44] <ionutica-99> I prefer to do it this way
[13:44] <ionutica-99> .(period)

[13:49] <subby1> Out of hurry I installed ubuntu in a  hdd partition of 598gb....... I want to shrink it so that I can unallocate it and gv the space to another partition..... can anyone help me how to do dat.....
[13:49] <ikonia> subby1: boot from livecd, install gparted, shrink partition
[13:49] <ikonia> subby1: be aware of risks
[13:49] <kickrox> gparted live cd
[13:49] <subby1> Ikonia: wat type of risks???
[13:49] <DJones> subby1: And backup any essential data just in case
[13:49] <ikonia> subby1: possible data loss
[13:50] <foofoobar> The brightness of the display is automatically decrease on inactivity. Can I set the the deplay for this?
[13:50] <kickrox> subby, you'll be ok
[13:50] <abangg>  i need go sleep now.. thank you very much for help :)
[13:50] <kickrox> just make sure to back up important files
[13:51] <subby1> ikonia:Ok by data loss u mean only frm da ubuntu partition or frm other drives also????
[13:51] <kickrox> everything on that drive
[13:51] <ikonia> subby1: the whols disk
[13:52] <ionutica-99> sorry ikonia
[13:53] <kickrox> matter of fact, any disk attached to that computer is at rick if you're not careful
[13:53] <kickrox> risk*
[13:53] <ionutica-99> for not listening
[13:53] <subby1> Actually I hv 2 hdd and 5 partitions..... on one hdd I hv intalled windows and on the other hdd I hv installed ubuntu.......so wuld my windows also go through data loss????
[13:53] <ikonia> ionutica-99: no need to apologise, I don't care what you actually do, it's up to you how you run your machine
[13:53] <ionutica-99> what I did only installed the login screen, not a desktop environment, nothing
[13:54] <kickrox> subby I've used gparted countless times.. never had data loss
[13:54] <kickrox> but it's better to be safe than sorry
[13:54] <WordOfGod> there is all kinds of sins people despise christ
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> WordOfGod: that is offtopic here
[13:55] <subby1> Kickrox: thanks ... actually I hv installed ubuntu yesteray and I hv never used it before.....
[13:55] <WordOfGod> ActionParsnip, listen without holiness no one will see the lord, FOLLOW THE BIBLE DONT TRUST IN YOUR DECEITFUL HEART
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> WordOfGod: that is offtopic here
[13:55] <James0r2> how does ubuntu respond to criticism about it's privacy policy?
[13:55] <WordOfGod> nooooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[13:55] <WordOfGod> dont ban me
[13:55] <WordOfGod> nooooooooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[13:55] <Rory> WordOfGod: shut up then
[13:56] <Rory> subby1: When you are changing partitions on a drive, there is always a small possibility of data loss on that drive
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> James0r2: you can report bugs if you find an issue
[13:56] <Rory> subby1: Mostly if there is a power loss or something halfway through an operation
[13:57] <Rory> subby1: Other drives won't be affected, because they are not being changed.
[13:57] <subby1> kickrox: k jst tell me ...wuld my partitions " other fan the ubuntu" go under data loss???
[13:57] <subby1> Rory: thanks...
[13:57] <Rory> subby1: Other partitions *on the same drive* could be affected
[13:58] <Rory> subby1: But it is not something you should be very worried about, it is rare. Back up first to be sure
[13:59] <subby1> Rory: so I can assume the drive where I hv installed Windows will not be affected...?
[14:01] <Rory> subby1: Correct if it is a different physical hard drive
[14:03] <subby1> Rory:ok u can consider me dumb bt wat is a "physical" hard drive???
[14:03] <moushira> hola, any recommendations for virtual machine? Xen or Vmware
[14:04] <jhutchins> moushira: vmware
[14:04] <merandus> i use vmware, it's great
[14:04] <Rory> subby1: One you can hold in your hand
[14:05] <Rory> subby1: "physical" doesn't have a special meaning, I just mean physica
[14:05] <subby1> Rory: ooh k.
[14:05] <hitsujiTMO> I'll also say vmware
[14:05] <moushira> thanks! Did anyone by any chance run Rhino3D via vmware? Any comments on performance?
[14:05] <subby1> Rory: sorry for asking such a dumb ques..
[14:05] <Rory> subby1: It's OK, better to be sure
[14:06] <subby1> Rory: thanks....
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> moushira: try both, see which you prefer
[14:06] <repudiate> subby1: It's ok.
[14:06] <repudiate> Not everyone can be as intelligent as me subby1
[14:06] <subby1> Rory: then I ll try gparted den.....
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> moushira: looks like something blender can do
[14:07] <anon> hi
[14:07] <moushira> ActionParsnip, am on a tight schedule, no much time to try, and I need to use grasshopper..so blender can't :)
[14:09] <anon> I installed ubuntu 13.10 dual booting with windows 8 on UEFI. After the installation windows 8 works but ubuntu complains that the file /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi is missing or corrupt. Sure enough, all I have in /boot is the standard old grub files and nothing `*efi*`. How can I solve this? boot-repair doesn't help.
[14:09] <Rory> anon: 13.10 support in #ubuntu+1
[14:09] <anon> Ok
[14:10] <hitsujiTMO> moushira: if you're using a graphical environment on the guest machine, vmware 5.5 now offers graphic acceleration for linux guest OS
[14:10] <vanchela> hello
[14:10] <SadlyMistaken> My scanner isn't located, xsane can't open.
[14:10] <moushira> aha, nice! Thanks hitsujiTMO
[14:10] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: What scanner, what Ubuntu version?
[14:11] <booh> After update, I can't boot and 2 problems... 1) switch to busybox at boot telling me ALERT about my root drive can't be found by UUID.  2) udev timeout for /sbin/blkid and yesterday it was about modeprobe...  What I've done: Smart test with live cd, the disk is healthy.  I disable audio AC97 in BIOS and the message change from complaining about modprobe to complain about blkid.  I check with
[14:11] <booh> a livecd, the fstab versus the UUID and all is correct.  I reinstall grub and no change.  I try to add rootdelay=90 with 'e' in grub, no change.
[14:11] <SadlyMistaken> Rory I use Ubuntu 12.04LTS and The scanner-printer MG3150
[14:11] <SadlyMistaken> of canon
[14:11] <zykotick9> SadlyMistaken: if you "gksudo xsane" does it find the scanner?
[14:11] <vanchela> gnuradio
[14:11] <vanchela> what is it?
[14:11] <SadlyMistaken> zykotick9: first it say "It is dangerous" but anyway it doesn't find the scanner neither
[14:12] <zykotick9> SadlyMistaken: oh, a printer/scanner... good luck, you might need it.
[14:12] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: What is the output of running the command "uname -i"
[14:13] <SadlyMistaken> It says i386
[14:13] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: Go to this page and click the Download Now button http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100393702.html
[14:13] <zykotick9> SadlyMistaken: see if your printer/scanner is listed here http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html
[14:13] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: A .tar.gz file will be downloaded, extract it somewhere. Then browse to where you extracted it and go to the packages folder
[14:14] <SadlyMistaken> Rory i just installed this. And second, this is to the Printer. I can print, I can't scan.
[14:14] <Rory> Oh
[14:15] <Rory> Are you sure you installed the right one SadlyMistaken - they offer printer and scanner drivers on separate pages
[14:15] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100394102.html
[14:15] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: It says at the top of the page: MG3100 series ScanGear MP Ver. 1.80 for Linux (debian Packagearchive)
[14:16] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: You might have installed the printer driver, but you also need to install the scanner one separately whic is on that page
[14:16] <SadlyMistaken> Rory, yes.  I only can scan 1 page, in GIMP.. without lots.
[14:17] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: Could you try: sudo apt-get install sane-pixma
[14:18] <SadlyMistaken> if i try to install this it says it can't. It doesn't exist
[14:18] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: What Ubuntu version are you using?
[14:18] <SadlyMistaken> 12.04
[14:18] <SadlyMistaken> 32bit
[14:18] <Efhache> Bonjour quelqu'un a une quelconque idée de ce que devient le groupe "ubuntu-be" ?
[14:18] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: sudo apt-get install libsane-common
[14:19] <SadlyMistaken> 1 hour ago i installed this downloading the deb
[14:19] <SadlyMistaken> but i am going to try
[14:19] <booh> After update, I can't boot and 2 problems... 1) switch to busybox at boot telling me ALERT about my root drive can't be found by UUID.  2) udev timeout for /sbin/blkid and yesterday it was about modeprobe...  What I've done: Smart test with live cd, the disk is healthy.  I disable audio AC97 in BIOS and the message change from complaining about modprobe to complain about blkid.  I check with
[14:19] <booh> a livecd, the fstab versus the UUID and all is correct.  I reinstall grub and no change.  I try to add rootdelay=90 with 'e' in grub, no change.
[14:19] <zykotick9> !fr | Efhache
[14:19] <Rory> !patience | booh
[14:19] <SadlyMistaken> it says: libsane-common is in its recently version
[14:20] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: Do you know if your scanner is actually supported by the Sane project?
[14:20] <booh> I am very patient... 2 days now without any clue! :-)
[14:21] <SadlyMistaken> Rory yes, because my sisters uses with xsane too, and she uses LinuxMint, so...
[14:21] <SadlyMistaken> (the same printer-scanner)
[14:21] <Efhache> @zykotick9 : sorry wrong windows
[14:21] <SadlyMistaken> and of course in the device list of sane it says mine works
[14:22] <vionx> hello, I hope this question is not too irrelevant..mp3 files that I can play on ubuntu are not played on mp3 player as "format not supported"..though I played other mp3 files without problems. can the reason still be something related to ownership of files?
[14:24] <zykotick9> vionx: i'm assuming you copied them to your mp3 player (which 99% is FAT filesystem), so all ownership *nix permission stuff, would be lost.  so no, it's not ownership/permission problem.
[14:24] <hitsujiTMO> vionx what brand of player?
[14:24] <SadlyMistaken> Rory??
[14:24] <Ahwan> hii
[14:25] <Guest56199> kj
[14:25] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: wget rory.sh/files/scangearmp-mg3100series-1.80-1-deb/packages/scangearmp-common_1.80-1_i386.deb
[14:25] <SadlyMistaken> again????
[14:25] <vionx> hitsujiTMO it is Sony Walkman
[14:25] <hylian> how new a version of android sdk can i run on ubuntu 12.04
[14:26] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: wget rory.sh/files/scangearmp-mg3100series-1.80-1-deb/packages/scangearmp-mg3100series_1.80-1_i386.deb
[14:26] <hylian> 64 bit
[14:26] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: sudo dpkg -i scan*.deb
[14:26] <vionx> zykotick9, but I've been copying music files all along. it is the first time this happens
[14:26] <hitsujiTMO> if its sony then i'd expect the cause of the problem to be an invalid mp3 file ... what created the files?
[14:26] <Ahwan> after installing ubuntu  ....   when I login to the system keyboard & mouse stop working .. why ? plz help ..
[14:26] <SadlyMistaken> rory... i did it... now?
[14:27] <Rory> SadlyMistaken: Did it install them correctly? No errors?
[14:27] <Eit8> hi, aftre updating this morning my desktop environment has some problems,I can't see my wallpaper and in place of it I see previous windows I was using ...like it's not refreshing , everything esle looks fine. what could be the problem ?
[14:27] <ionutica-99> Does anybody know how to make LXDE have round corners?
[14:27] <SadlyMistaken> Rory: I told you... I installed this hours ago..
[14:27] <SadlyMistaken> it say: ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[14:27] <Ahwan> after installing ubuntu .... when I login to the system keyboard & mouse stop working .. why ? plz help
[14:27] <hylian> ionutica-99: i have used lxde extensively, never seen round corners. I'll see if I can dig up an answer though...
[14:27] <vionx> hitsujiTMO it was a zip file composed of mp3 files.
[14:27] <vionx> hitsujiTMO I downloaded the pack from internet
[14:28] <ionutica-99> hylian I like it very much but rounded corners would guarantee my stay!
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> hylian: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=104
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> hylian: seems to be an openbox thing
[14:29] <hylian> ionutica-99: the short answer is no, the long answer is yes, as long as you use something other than openbox. LXDE sits on top of another window manager, the default being openbox.
[14:29] <vionx> hitsujiTMO I don't know if the original creator of the files made a mistake there. but is there a way to reformat them or do sth similar to make them acceptable?
[14:29] <Guest56199> ll
[14:29] <ionutica-99> ok I will just forget about it
[14:29] <hylian> ActionParsnip: great minds think alike, i just dug that up myself. Thanks though!
[14:29] <hitsujiTMO> i suspect whatever tool was used to create them didn't make them to standard. you could try and use ffmpeg or avconv to convert them to wav and back, or even convert them from mp3 to mp3
[14:30] <vionx> somewhere on the net I'd read of these tag versions, can it be related to that?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> hylian: ive seen it though....
[14:31] <hylian> ionutica-99: this might help: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=104
[14:31] <hitsujiTMO> vionx. the player should ignore any tags it doesn't understand
[14:31] <Eit8> anybody could help me? my wallpaper isn't showing up and I've this windows persistency in place of it
[14:32] <Ahwan> after installing ubuntu .... when I login to the system keyboard & mouse stop working .. why ? plz help
[14:32] <hylian> ionutica-99: it's not impossible. it would just take some research into what window managers allow for rounded corners, and how to implement lxde with those window managers. Openbox is by far the best window manager (in my opinion, ofcoarse) and so it's the default.
[14:33] <ionutica-99> hylian no i'm not giving away this fast de for anything
[14:33] <ionutica-99> hylian it's so fast :)))))
[14:33] <ionutica-99> i'm shocked
[14:34] <ionutica-99> well gotta install nvidia now bye
[14:34] <ionutica-99> thank you for your help
[14:34] <hylian> ionutica-99: i know, i am a openbox fan myself. LXDE is the prettiest openbox add-on out there. I have also made a plain openbox setup using feh, tint2 and gkrellm for email updates and weather. runs slicker than greased lightning.
[14:35] <Eit8> is there a way to see latest updates I've made ? I can't understand where my problem is coming from
[14:37] <vionx> I changed now mp3 to ogg format. still the same. very strange. both formats were recognized until now.
[14:40] <hylian> i am trying to get android sdk installed, but whenever the install manager fires up, the "install button is greyed out..??
[14:41] <hitsujiTMO> vionx in that case i'd check with sony
[14:43] <hylian> vionx: trying to upload files directly to an audio/mp3 player?
[14:43] <hitsujiTMO> hylian: you should have some sort of error message
[14:44] <hylian> hitsujiTMO: i think it was because I am running an older version. I am updating the tools first, it let me do that.
[14:45] <jhutchins> vionx: The file extension doesn't really determine the file format.  You can use the command "file <filepath>" to determine what a file is.  (I'm not sure how fine grained that is for music formats.)
[14:45] <jhutchins> vionx: It could be a matter of the encoding - a bitrate or something that the player can't handle.  If you have a file that will play and one that won't you could compare.
[14:45] <ionutica-99> my lxde keeps showing an errror at startup complaining about libmenu-cache2
[14:46] <jhutchins> mplayer/ffmpeg utilities should be able to identify the metadata that describes the encoding.
[14:46] <nydel> anyone use one of these system76 machines? i think i'm about to invest in one of the laptops
[14:47] <hylian> ionutica-99: let me look that up, brb
[14:48] <ionutica-99> hylian failing command line at startup: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmenu-cache2/libexec/menu-cached
[14:49] <hylian> ionutica-99: any way you can show us it via pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[14:50] <ionutica-99> hylian I can't copy and paste from a system error report window
[14:50] <clik> Can anybody help me with a partition/dual boot section?
[14:50] <clik> *question
[14:50] <ionutica-99> what if I upgrade menu-cache to 0.5.0 from sourceforge?
[14:50] <hylian> ionutica-99: can you make a screenshot of it with the printscreen button, and then use tinyupload.com?
[14:50] <ionutica-99> instead of 0.4.1
[14:51] <ionutica-99> gotta reboot it only happens then
[14:51] <ionutica-99> wait I gotta go for 10 min

[14:56] <repudiate> Does anyone here have Ubuntu?
[14:56] <clik> Well I have a HP laptop that I would like to duel boot Win7 and Ubuntu. Win7 is already installed. The problem is the HP already has 4 partitons. Now 2 of the partitions I need for windows. The other 2 are recovery and HP tools. I need to delete one of these partions but i'm not sure which. Help anyone?
[14:56] <nydel> sure do, repudiate, do you have a question?
[14:56] <repudiate> Sorry, wrong channel.
[14:56] <hylian> repudiate: using Xubnutu 12.04, which is ubuntu with xfce desktop
[14:57] <nydel> repudiate: lol okay then :)
[14:57] <repudiate> hylian: As opposed to Unuty?
[14:57] <repudiate> *Unity?
[14:57] <hylian> repudiate: yep. unity is beautiful, easy to use, and is way too heavy on resources for me.
[14:58] <nydel> hylian: hear hear
[14:58] <repudiate> hylian: Why does everyone love Unity so much?
[14:58] <repudiate> What does it offer?
[14:58] <Malsasa> I like Unity too.
[14:58] <hylian> nydel: not a hater, just wante my resources for other things.
[14:59] <Malsasa> nydel: tweak your Unity and you will get fast DE. I have it.
[14:59] <nydel> hylian: nono, i'd love to use beautiful unity, but i just can't on this hardware. i hear ya
[14:59] <k1l> repudiate: this is a channel for actual technical support. for discussions and opinions we have #ubuntu-discuss and #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:59] <ionutica-99> sorry the error just doesn't appear any more
[14:59] <hitsujiTMO> i don't find unity heavy on resources at all.
[14:59] <hylian> nydel: ahh, gotcha. ;)
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> How would I know if this notebook is compatible driver wise with ubuntu guys? http://www.emag.ro/laptop-acer-aspire-v3-772g-747a8g1tmakk-cu-procesor-intel-174-core-small-sup-tm-sup-small-i7-4702mq-2-20ghz-haswell-8gb-1tb-nvidia-geforce-gt-750m-4gb-linux-black-nx-m74ex-005/pd/EQYM0BBBM/
[14:59] <ionutica-99> hylian what lxde theme do you use?
[14:59] <hylian> hitsujiTMO: you probably aren't using a 3 year old laptop from Walmart.
[14:59] <BluesKaj> hylian. compiz as a wm is meant for higher cpacity cpu/and gpus
[14:59] <ionutica-99> hylian may I have it
[15:00] <hylian> ionutica-99: just the standard xubuntu theme. I do change the window theme to bluebird.
[15:00] <ionutica-99> hylian I always liked clearlooks
[15:00] <OerHeks> Wiz_KeeD, try it with a live usb
[15:00] <hylian> ionutica-99: have what.. xfce?
[15:00] <ionutica-99> hylian no lxde
[15:00] <hitsujiTMO> no but i'm using a really crappy processor with a really crappy graphics support so had to install unity-tweak-tool to disable the blur effect in unity to get it to run smoothly
[15:01] <hylian> ionutica-99: you are asking me if you can have lxde? I think i don't understand your question.
[15:01] <ionutica-99> hylian your lxde theme
[15:01] <ionutica-99> hylian I asked about the theme
[15:01] <repudiate> k1l: I have irssi, and I use ALT+E to switch to  Window 13, but it interferes with the EDIT MENU on what I think is the UNITY BAR. I can use ESC+E on irssi to do the same exact thing that I want, but I'd rather either disable that bar on the top when a window is open, or disable it entirely. How can I do this?
[15:01] <cruisereg> hmmm
[15:01] <hylian> hitsujiTMO: i didn't know that was an option. this lappy locks up alot on unity whenever i try to go into the menu section.
[15:01] <JohnGrisamore> hmmmm
[15:02] <ionutica-99> ok let me try to reboot again to see if the error happens
[15:02] <repudiate> *when a window is focused k1l
[15:02] <hitsujiTMO> hylian: yeah thats the blur effect ... disable it and it will run smooth
[15:02] <hylian> ionutica-99: i use xfce, not lxde. the theme I use comes from the generic Lubuntu install. (I mean vanilla, because Lubuntu is beautiful)
[15:03] <k1l> repudiate: i am quite sure alt+e will not only trigger on unity but on other desktops enviroments as well
[15:03] <repudiate> k1l: I have irssi, and I use ALT+E to switch to  Window 13, but it interferes with the EDIT MENU on what I think is the UNITY BAR. I can use ESC+E on irssi to do the same exact aforementioned thing, but I'd rather either disable that menu bar (that has the EDIT drop down) on the top when a window is in focus, or disable it entirely. How can I do this?
[15:03] <hylian> ionutica-99: i was suggesting xfce because it is only marginally harder on resources and has things like rounded corners (based on theme you choose)
[15:03] <repudiate> k1l: k1l There is nothing I can do, to preclude that trigger
[15:03] <ionutica-99_> ok I did reboot and no error, it is because I ran the executable manually I think!
[15:03] <hylian> thanks hitsujiTMO i will try that right now
[15:04] <ionutica-99_> and it removed it's cache
[15:04] <repudiate> k1l: Or change the triggers for unity?
[15:06] <hylian> ionutica-99_: well that's good
[15:07] <k1l> repudiate: well, did you take into the systemsettings for keyboard before coming in here for ranting?
[15:07] <k1l> *take a look
[15:08] <booh> is it possible to disable some modules when ubuntu boot?  with a livecd.
[15:10] <hylian> hitsujiTMO: is there a walkthrough on disabling all the visual goodies possible for unity? This is a really craptastic laptop. (Runs great for me because a gamer i am not, but...)
[15:11] <hylian> hitsujiTMO: cq57-229wm from compaq (my shame knows no bounds, because my wallet knows too many bounds.)
[15:12] <abd-allah> I've downloaded a website then i open the index file offline and it opens but when i open a link which is in .asp format opens in gedit. How to fix it?
[15:12] <abd-allah> pls help
[15:12] <abd-allah> I'm using Firefox on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[15:12] <hylian> abd-allah: right click the file, and then oe of the choices is what to open it with
[15:12] <Rory> hylian: install "unity-tweak-tool" from the repositories, and disable blur on the dash; that made the biggest change for me
[15:12] <figgycity50> hi
[15:13] <hylian> Rory: so that is probably the biggest/only thing to worry about then?
[15:13] <hitsujiTMO> hylian: don't know of any walkthru ... i just played with unity-tweak-tool till i was happy ... The main thing is disabling background blur in search
[15:13] <abd-allah> @hylian I do it but it opens a blank page in firefox then opens in gedit actually.
[15:13] <figgycity50> i need to check if my pc supports ubuntu server
[15:13] <figgycity50> it's a hi-grade
[15:13] <abd-allah> not viewing in firefox
[15:13] <figgycity50> with a celeron d
[15:13] <abd-allah> ?
[15:13] <abd-allah> ?
[15:14] <hylian> hitsujiTMO: ok, thanks. I was just curious, it seems you are quite a bit more familiar with it than I am. as much as I like unity though, i think it will be a hard sell for me, because XFCE rocks. it's by far my fave de or window manager, and I have tried them all.
[15:14] <hitsujiTMO> hylian: disabling blur there also disables it for the switcher
[15:14] <hylian> abd-allah: in file manager, right click the file, and you will have a choice there.
[15:16] <hitsujiTMO> hylian: i'd also suggest changing font hinting to medium ...
[15:16] <quick1123> hi I have a HP system with Corei5 processor and uname-m give x86_64 but when i restart after the install i get the grub prompt . How can i fix it ?
[15:17] <hylian> abd-allah: go here, and load my image. it will show you what I mean... http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=33975622702895115600
[15:17] <grendal-prime> hey guys.
[15:17] <hylian> hello grendal-prime
[15:18] <grendal-prime> who knows pcie?
[15:18] <grendal-prime> i got this new server and when i run the decode on the bios i get this.
[15:18] <grendal-prime> 	Type: x16 PCI Express
[15:18] <hylian> grendal-prime: been a computer repairman since 1993. I can try and dig my brains for you
[15:18] <grendal-prime> and	Type: x4 PCI Express
[15:18] <OerHeks> abd-allah, an .asp file is just a text file, maybe this (old but usable i think) howto to open asp.net files > http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/run-aspnet-applications-on-ubuntu-for-developers/
[15:19] <hylian> grendal-prime: those are the speed options available for you via your pcie slot.
[15:19] <quick1123>  hi I have a HP system with Corei5 processor and uname-m give x86_64 but when i restart after the install i get the grub prompt . How can i fix it ?
[15:19] <grendal-prime> now there is one slot on the machine with a 90 degree on it
[15:19] <hitsujiTMO> oerheks: asp != asp.net
[15:20] <hylian> grendal-prime: if it looks like the letter L then it is a sata slot, not pcie.
[15:20] <hylian> grendal-prime: i should say, if it is rather small and looks like the letter L...
[15:20] <grendal-prime> riser type deal the card i have is a pcie X1  i think ...rocketraid pcie card that is.
[15:21] <grendal-prime> ok back to the slot.., it has the right config ..the pcie card fits into it ..
[15:21] <hylian> grendal-prime: is this a server? because on regular desktops, there is usally only one pcie slot, and that is slated for graphics card use (usually)
[15:22] <grendal-prime> and is flush to the frame and whatnot.
[15:22] <grendal-prime> yes its a dell server
[15:22] <grendal-prime> xeon
[15:22] <hitsujiTMO> grendal-prime: can you tell us the exact model
[15:22] <hylian> grendal-prime: ahh, i see. so what you have is a pcie to sata raid card, nice. so what's your question.
[15:22] <gfgfdgh> hello
[15:22] <hylian> gfgfdgh: hello
[15:23] <Rogue-3> reisio: /win 3
[15:23] <grendal-prime> thing is if i plug the raid rocketraid in the box just does not boot.
[15:23] <Rogue-3> oopps
[15:23] <grendal-prime> hitsujiTMO, sure
[15:23] <grendal-prime> well i think so mobo id good enough?
[15:23] <hitsujiTMO> should be, that way anyone can look up a reference
[15:24] <hylian> grendal-prime: does it make any noises at all? any visuals? some beeps? or does it fail to post altogehter?
[15:25] <jilebedev> exit
[15:25] <grendal-prime> CS23-SH
[15:27] <hylian> abd-allah: did you see my image i posted to tinyuplod for you? http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=33975622702895115600
[15:27] <grendal-prime> hitsujiTMO, thats thats the product id.
[15:27] <MangaKaDenza> halp
[15:27] <hitsujiTMO> looking now to see if i can get the specs
[15:27] <MangaKaDenza> I'm trying to run sudo apt-get update
[15:27] <MangaKaDenza> but it keeps failing
[15:28] <hylian> MangaKaDenza: what does it say exactly?
[15:28] <MangaKaDenza> http://pastebin.com/7Sy25HkL
[15:29] <TheLordOfTime> MangaKaDenza: perhaps this will help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30072/how-do-i-fix-a-problem-with-mergelist-or-status-file-could-not-be-parsed-err
[15:30] <MangaKaDenza> er
[15:30] <MangaKaDenza> also this error
[15:30] <MangaKaDenza> E: GPG error: http://repo.steampowered.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2
[15:30] <TheLordOfTime> MangaKaDenza: basically, you have to remove the merge list: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf      then you have to recreate it: sudo apt-get update
[15:30] <grendal-prime> hylian, it initially it comes up and as soon as it starts the boot up it goes black
[15:31] <TheLordOfTime> MangaKaDenza: that's a different problem, and that has to do with invalid signatures on Steam's repository, that's a tad harder to fix
[15:31] <hylian> grendal-prime: so it posts, starts to go to where your os starts, then goes blank?
[15:31] <repudiate> k1l: Ranting?
[15:31] <repudiate> I was just asking

[15:32] <greg-44> hi
[15:32] <hylian> greg-44: hello
[15:33] <greg-44> ehm can someone help me pls?
[15:33] <MangaKaDenza> greg-44, ask pls
[15:33] <hylian> greg-44: JUST ASK YOUR QUESTION, AND WE WILL TRY
[15:33] <hylian> sorry caps lock + big fingers = my bad
[15:33] <greg-44> lol ok
[15:33] <greg-44> so i just installed ubuntu on my comp and i try to install a local IRCU server
[15:34] <hylian> greg-44: and?
[15:34] <greg-44> when i compil the ircu, i got an error.
[15:34] <grendal-prime> i get a bios but then black
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: what GPU?
[15:34] <greg-44> can i paste here the error ?
[15:34] <MangaKaDenza> ActionParsnip, it isnt... doing anything
[15:34] <Eagleman> I am planning on getting another 3 TB Disk so i end uo having 6 TB in total ( 2* 3TB ), what i want is a way to setup thise 2 disks as one partition so for example i only have to mount one folder for 2 disks on ubuntu, can LVM be used for this?
[15:35] <grendal-prime> also just so you know the card does work i have it running in an xps unit and everything works fine on that machine . It has a pcie X1
[15:35] <hylian> greg-44: use http://paste.ubuntu.com/. copy the url when your done and paste that here
[15:35] <grendal-prime> gpu?
[15:35] <greg-44> ah ok i do this !
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> MangaKaDenza: it is, give it time
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: yes, gpu
[15:35] <MangaKaDenza> how much
[15:35] <greg-44> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6222941/
[15:36] <hylian> grendal-prime: this is starting to sound like an issue with the bios, perhaps the bios is set to attempt to run a graphics card through that port?
[15:36] <greg-44> hylian,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/6222941/
[15:36] <MangaKaDenza> also... the update list thing is gone...
[15:36] <MangaKaDenza> like
[15:36] <hylian> greg-44: thanks, give me a minute to read it
[15:36] <MangaKaDenza> its just 4 things
[15:36] <grendal-prime> oh ya..good point
[15:36] <MangaKaDenza> then exits
[15:36] <greg-44> yes
[15:36] <MangaKaDenza> is that a bad thing
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> MangaKaDenza: let it run, its not a fast process
[15:36] <MangaKaDenza> I'm pretty sure it is
[15:37] <abd-allah> in which directory ubuntu apps remain?
[15:37] <grendal-prime> umm think its ati..hold on i have to migrate some hosts off of it so i can back into it.
[15:37] <abd-allah> In ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> MangaKaDenza: it clears out all package knowledge, then redownloads the package lists from the sources
[15:37] <abd-allah> ?
[15:37] <abd-allah> ?
[15:37] <FloodBot1> abd-allah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:37] <Ben64> greg-44: thats not an error...
[15:37] <greg-44> ah ??
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: there is no single folder they are stored in like windows
[15:37] <drmagoo> Eagleman, yes, you can use LVM for that. Although if you already have data on the first disc, then you need to move that before you start setting lvm up.
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: libs are stored once in the HDD and are only loaded once into RAM if multiple apps need it,
[15:38] <greg-44> Ben64, ah ok.
[15:38] <abd-allah> how can i locate an app like xchatIRC??
[15:38] <Malsasa> abd-allah: check your /usr/bin
[15:38] <grendal-prime> ati rage XL
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: the binaries you run are in various places too depending on tas
[15:38] <hylian> greg-44: that doesn't look liek an error, it looks like it succeeded...
[15:38] <greg-44> hylian,  okok
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: apps dont install to a single place like they do in windows
[15:38] <Eagleman> drmagoo, so when for example one of those 2 disks die in like a year, i will loose data on both disks since they are both in the same LVM Pool?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: why do you ask?
[15:38] <Ben64> greg-44: i'd suggest not running an irc server unless you know exactly what you're doing
[15:38] <greg-44> but why when i launch the ./ircd, nothinggonna work ?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: try the boot option: nomodeset
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: or:  radeon.nomodeset=1
[15:39] <abd-allah> an irc link needs an app to open?
[15:39] <grendal-prime> hylian, so basically check the bios .  Will there be a way to toggle what that port is used for?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: what sort of link?
[15:39] <wolfybox> how do i open the console
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> wolfybox: ctrl+alt+t
[15:39] <hylian> abd-allah: are you using plain ubuntu? clicking on the top left icon you can type it in, or alt-f2 and type xchat, if it is installed.
[15:39] <abd-allah> irc.something.com
[15:39] <grendal-prime> action can i just make an adjustment in the bios?
[15:39] <wolfybox> thx
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: so a web url?
[15:40] <zykotick9> wolfybox: for the real "console" aka "linux console" use ctrl+alt+f1 (alt+f7 to get back)
[15:40] <grendal-prime> ActionParsnip,  would a bios adjustment typically fix that issue?
[15:40] <abd-allah> mibbit.com?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: no, the driver is having issue with the hardware, so extra options may be needed
[15:41] <Malsasa> abd-allah: do you want to open link inside Xchat with preferred browser?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: again, are these web pages to access?
[15:41] <drmagoo> Eagleman, lvm isnt the same as raid.. you "shouldnt" loose any data.. but you can never be 100% sure
[15:41] <drmagoo> Eagleman, i havent tested it, but according to most documentation you shouldnt loose any data
[15:41] <grendal-prime> ok. so that is a kernel boot option?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> grendal-prime: yes
[15:41] <yenal> hi can somebody help me? in bash when I type $ xdotool type z it types y ..but locale should be set correctly when I run xev y = y and z = z
[15:41] <grendal-prime> thanks man
[15:42] <abd-allah> it should be a irc Chat link.
[15:42] <hylian> Thanks for helping grendal-prime, ActionParsnip. You ae the man!
[15:42] <grendal-prime> i think hes a robot actually
[15:42] <grendal-prime> hes always here..helped me several times in the past..alsways so full of vigor.
[15:43] <grendal-prime> hes like zorro for it.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: chat.mibbit.com    will give a web based IRC client
[15:43] <Eagleman> drmagoo i am thinking about LVM for a step between ZFS at a point where i have 3-4 HDD's set up, i cant afford to loose any data when using LVM when only 1 of the 2 disks fail since i do not have the capacity to also run backups for 6 TB data
[15:43] <greg-44> Ben64, you can try to sitch on my ircu ?
[15:43] <abd-allah> thanks
[15:43] <Malsasa> abd-allah: http://webchat.freenode.net is the best web based IRC for me
[15:44] <hylian> ActionParsnip and abd-allah this link will also take you here via any browser with java installed: http://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=1&channels=ubuntu&prompt=1&uio=d4
[15:45] <drmagoo> Eagleman, there is no cheap way to make sure that your data is safe. The "cheapest" way would be 4 discs, configure them in pairs under raid 1 and the use lvm to span the partition over both raid1-volumes
[15:46] <grendal-prime> i dont think i have ever set boot options in grub2.
[15:46] <drmagoo> Eagleman, that is the setup i'm currently running and then you can loose 1 disc without your data being lost
[15:46] <hylian> grendal-prime: sorry things got busy, have you gotten any further with your issue?
[15:46] <quick-121> Hi my system isn't loading . It stops at the grub> prompt. Please help
[15:46] <Eagleman> drmagoo, i think ZFS might be better than RAID, but i am very new to this stuff since i just started expanding
[15:47] <abd-allah> i have installed PlayOnLinux and installed CODMW3 in it.But when i run then it views texts as boxes and then the screen goes blank. What to do?
[15:47] <hylian> quick-121: what exactly does it do/say?
[15:47] <abd-allah> I used to play the same game on windows on the same PC.
[15:47] <drmagoo> Eagleman, cant help you with ZFS, got no experience there =( Only worked with raid and lvm
[15:47] <abd-allah> I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[15:47] <Rory> abd-allah: You should ask in #playonlinux for support specific to that
[15:47] <quick-121> hylian: I just installed ubuntu and after the restart it stops at grub> giving a message that possible command and the shell is like emacs shell.
[15:48] <hylian> abd-allah: that's a font issue. I have had the same problem with a program called watchtower library. you probably need to install the fonts available via microsoft.
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: did you check the wine appdb for compatibility?
[15:48] <grendal-prime> hylian, i think i found something that explains it pretty well thanks guys
[15:49] <hylian> quick-121: without any error message?
[15:49] <abd-allah> yes it is on the compatiable list.
[15:49] <quick-121> hylian: yup.
[15:50] <hylian> abd-allah: i am pretty certain this is a corefonts issue. you will most likely need them installed. I have had the "boxes" issue before.
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> abd-allah: askin #winehq too
[15:51] <abd-allah> hylian:how to do it?
[15:51] <hylian> abd-allah: this is a good walkthrough http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15495/add-microsoft-core-fonts-to-ubuntu/
[15:52] <hylian> ActionParsnip: can you help quick-121? he has a strange issue. he gets grub to boot only, no errors... whihc is strange..??
[15:52] <Rory> hylian: abd-allah That guide won't help because they need to be installed in Wine. If you look in PlayOnLinux's options there should be a way to install the Microsoft Fonts from there
[15:52] <abd-allah> hylian:thanks.
[15:52] <MangaKaDenza> lolwut
[15:52] <abd-allah> I'm checking it.
[15:53] <hylian> abd-allah: did you see Rory's post? you will have to do it from inside PLayOnLinux
[15:53] <Rory> abd-allah: When you very first opened PlayOnLinux, it should have prompted you to install the fonts. If you chose not to, you can do it later from the options
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> hylian: is it a wubi install or a proper install? What disk setup is it? RAID? LVM?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> hylian: details....
[15:54] <hylian> Rory: yeah, i have had the "boxes instead of letters" issue before. it was always the corefonts not being installed,.
[15:54] <Rory> hylian: Never had that issue, but then I always let PlayOnLinux install the fonts the first time it opens
[15:54] <abd-allah> Rory:which option?
[15:54] <hylian> ActionParsnip: i am afraid I don't know, it's quick-121's issue. good point though, details help
[15:55] <hylian> Rory: yeah, i'm an "only install if neccessary" kind of a guy.
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> hylian: can you relay to him/her please
[15:56] <ionutica-99> I prefer not to emulate windows
[15:56] <ionutica-99> it takes too much space
[15:56] <Rory> ionutica-99: Until Riot releases a native League client, I'm stuck with Wine. It's better than dual-booting just for that!
[15:56] <hylian> quick-121: can you give us more details on your hardware... what type of hard drive? sata? eide? raid?
[15:56] <ionutica-99> Rory nah I don't play games
[15:57] <ionutica-99> Rory I'm glad finnaly I can run free pascal full screen for school
[15:57] <bibi346> when I open a new terminal in ubuntu, is it running the bash shell?
[15:58] <Zal> bibi346, most probably
[15:58] <Rory> bibi346: yes
[15:58] <Rory> abd-allah: Go to Install a Program -> Other -> Microsoft Fonts
[15:58] <Zal> bibi346, "echo $SHELL" to find out
[15:58] <hylian> ionutica-99: there is such a thing as free pascal? I did some programming work in turbo pascal for the mac classic back in the late 80's.. hmm. I didn't think it was even around anymore. Is it from borland like turbo was?
[15:59] <luminous> if a developer has released a package through PPA, and then updates the versions.. is there a way to get older versions through ubuntu PPA?
[15:59] <quick-121> hylian: hylian sata corei5 x86_64
[15:59] <ionutica-99> hylian no it's 100% free oss
[16:00] <ionutica-99> hylian to use it just type sudo apt-get install fp-ide
[16:00] <hylian> ActionParsnip: he says it's a sata drive... why wouldn't grub give an error message.. strange..
[16:00] <ionutica-99> hylian and run it by typing fp
[16:00] <hylian> ionutica-99: i might just do that, thanks.
[16:00] <Denza252> grr
[16:00] <Denza252> it still didn't work
[16:00] <ionutica-99> hylian and it works on 64 bit systems too!
[16:01] <bibi346> Zal: ok, indeed it's bash, I'm documenting myself on shell, I'm not sure I get the difference between terminal and shell, why the shell can't run on it's own without the terminal?
[16:01] <hylian> ionutica-99: that's cool, because that's all i use now is the 64 bit iso.
[16:01] <hylian> sorry all, i need to reboot.
[16:01] <ionutica-99> hylian here and it even has a wiki http://www.freepascal.org/
[16:02] <Denza252> ActionParsnip, help
[16:02] <Zal> bibi346, shell is what interprets the commands you type. Terminal is how you see and interact with the shell. A shell can exist without a terminal, but you can't see it.
[16:05] <Denza252> someone help
[16:05] <Denza252> I cant do anything
[16:05] <Denza252> because this damn thing keeps making it error
[16:05] <Denza252> E:GPG error: http://repo.steampowered.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2
[16:06] <bibi346> Zal: so for example why is there "bash autocompletion" package, it's completing commands before I execute them, it's on terminal level not the shell right?
[16:06] <Rory> Denza252: Can you please run the command "sudo apt-get update" and put the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:07] <Denza252> Rory, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6223084/
[16:07] <bibi346> Zal : oh or maybe it's interacting with the shell when I press tab to get completion? then I understand
[16:08]  * Denza252 pokes Rory
[16:08] <Zal> bibi346, "autocompletion" means that the shell will guess and complete the words you're about to type, so you can type less. It's in the shell, but pretty useless without a terminal since you wouldn't otherwise be able to type in the shell.
[16:08] <Zal> bibi346, right
[16:08] <luminous> oes the official PPA keep around previous releases
[16:08] <luminous> *does
[16:09] <bibi346> Zal: ok thanks I think I understand the difference
[16:09]  * repudiate caresses Denza252
[16:09] <Denza252> ...
[16:09] <Denza252> y u no do help Rory ?
[16:11] <luminous> seems like a no: 0.15.1-1oneiric and 0.16.4-1raring, but only .17 for precise
[16:16] <rawrmonster> hmm I have looked up my problem on google but all i can seem to find is what to do if ubuntu loads to a black screen. My problem is slightly different, I see grub load then plymouth load as well but when lightdm is suppose to load i see lightdm load for about a half second then it just loads some purple background with the ubuntu logo in the middle but i am never able to login. I see the login screen for about a half second before it switches to this o

[16:21] <hitsujiTMO> adeebnqo #ubuntu-touch

[16:22] <adeebnqo> hitsujiTMO: Thank you. Off I go
[16:26] <grendal-prime> well with the nomodeset im just getting a flashy white cursor top left of screen
[16:28] <Tylertwo> rawrmonster, Does anything happen if you press Ctrl-Alt-F1?
[16:29] <rawrmonster> Tylertwo: give me a few seconds and find out when do you want me to press it? when i am at the purple screen with out lightdm?
[16:29] <Tylertwo> rawrmonster, yeah
[16:31] <rawrmonster> Tylertwo: yea it kills lightdm and loads to tty1
[16:32] <Tylertwo> rawrmonster, You could try logging in there and then typing the command "startx"
[16:32] <deeps1l3nt> a
[16:33] <rawrmonster> Tylertwo: I am guessing i would have to "/etc/init.d/lightdm stop" to release the x server from lightdm but wont that just restart the gui?
[16:35] <rawrmonster> Tylertwo: reason i say is it says "fatal server error: server is already active for display 0"
[16:36] <Tylertwo> rawrmonster, gotcha, sounds like it's an issue with the GUI. I'm not sure about how you should proceed
[16:36] <TJ-> rawrmonster: Examine the logs in /var/log - in particular /var/log/lightdm/*
[16:36] <miaqinas> hi there
[16:36] <rawrmonster> TJ-: ok give me a few seconds :D
[16:39] <ggherdov> hello. Here the result of me running `apt-cache policy postgresql` : http://bpaste.net/show/vYyBm7dW6duGQT3aYHVC/ I don't understand if it's installed or not. It say 'yes' but also lists aa few 500 errors. So ?
[16:39] <rawrmonster> everything looks normal till you get down to the end and it says "Got signal 15 from process 1"
[16:40] <MangaKaDenza> well dang
[16:41] <MangaKaDenza> my ubuntu is borked up even more now
[16:41] <deeps1l3nt> hi there
[16:43] <Tylertwo> ggherdov, It appears to be installed. I don't think those "500"s are errors..
[16:43] <deeps1l3nt> how to copy a text from vim text to the terminal
[16:43] <ggherdov> Tylertwo: ok
[16:43] <Tylertwo> deeps1l3nt, Depends what vim version you have. You can do it with the mouse + right click, right?
[16:43] <deeps1l3nt> 7.4
[16:44] <rawrmonster> TJ-: oo and there is one more error in x-0-greeter.log as well (warning: getting layout failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: no such interface 'com.canonical.dbusmenu' on object at path /com/canonical/indicator/users/menu)
[16:44] <Malsasa> deeps1l3nt: copying from terminal emulator: highlight text by cursor and Ctrl+Shift+C
[16:44] <MangaKaDenza> my sudo apt-get update is still giving errors
[16:44] <deeps1l3nt> i want to do without mouse
[16:45] <deeps1l3nt> just from the terminal
[16:45] <deeps1l3nt> no gui
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> MangaKaDenza  type sudo apt-get update| pastebinit and paste the url here in the channel, so we can see
[16:46] <MangaKaDenza> MonkeyDust, http://pastebin.com/Tf9JenYK
[16:47] <Tylertwo> deeps1l3nt, what is the result of entering :echo has('clipboard') from Vim? Should be a 1 or a 0
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> MangaKaDenza  is that all, or just a part?
[16:48] <TheLordOfTime> MonkeyDust: that seems to be all they have, they're  getting GPG errors from Steam's repository
[16:48] <deeps1l3nt> it is 1
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> MangaKaDenza  what the the outcome of    cat /etc/issue
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> MangaKaDenza  what's the outcome of    cat /etc/issue
[16:51] <MangaKaDenza> MonkeyDust, Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[16:52] <rawrmonster> TJ-: any idea from thos two errors?
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> MangaKaDenza  looks odd... tip: there's also #ubuntu-steam

[16:54] <grimeton> hi
[16:54] <grimeton> is there a way to disable the "do you want to start the degraded array" question when an ubuntu system comes up and just let it boot?
[16:59] <CatKiller> grimeton: maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootDegradedRaid
[17:00] <rawrmonster> Would it be better to just post my issue on the ubuntu forums?
[17:01] <BluesKaj> rawrmonster., why not pastebin it ?
[17:02] <rawrmonster> BluesKaj: what file do you want me to pastebin?
[17:02] <Tylertwo> rawrmonster, Yeah, I think that's often a good idea when google/irc can't help.
[17:02] <BluesKaj> rawrmonster. dunno i just got here
[17:02] <TJ-> rawrmonster: I wonder if there's a state ~/.Xauthority, or /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority lying around?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> depends what you want us to look at
[17:02] <rawrmonster> Tylertwo: ok will do thanks for trying anyways :D
[17:03] <TJ-> rawrmonster: s/state/stale/
[17:03] <Ycarene> So, medibuntu is gone right?
[17:03] <rawrmonster> TJ-: one sec let me look for thos files
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> Ycarene  it's down
[17:04] <rawrmonster> TJ-: there is a .Xauthority now let me look for the other file
[17:04] <BluesKaj> yeah , but if you're looking for the codecs youcan find them at videolan, Ycarene thw vlc site
[17:04] <Ycarene> ok
[17:05] <rawrmonster> TJ-: i guess i should have said which one ~/.Xauthority
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> Ycarene  I guess we'll soon read why it's down
[17:05] <TJ-> rawrmonster: If that file is left behind by a crashed session it can prevent log-in because of either the greeter's authority being stale, or the user's
[17:06] <BluesKaj> Ycarene. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[17:06] <TJ-> rawrmonster: As long as you stop the lightdm service first you can delete those two files (you'll need 'sudo' to remove the lightdm instance)
[17:06] <wolfybox_> why does this show up while installing a package: 'Ubuntu 13.04 _Raring Ringtail_ - Release amd64 (20130424)
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> BluesKaj  that's a better reply, tnx
[17:07] <rawrmonster> TJ-: it is in both places do you want me to delete both?
[17:07] <wolfybox_> why does this show up while installing a package: 'Ubuntu 13.04 _Raring Ringtail_ - Release amd64 (20130424)
[17:08] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust. yeah  guess the medibuntu maintainer gave it up
[17:08] <TJ-> rawrmonster: "sudo service lightdm stop && sudo rm /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority && rm ~/.Xauthority" - assuming you're currently logged in at a tty or via ssh, as the affected user
[17:08] <MangaKaDenza> ugh
[17:08] <MangaKaDenza> ubuntu steam isn't helping
[17:08] <spm-Draget> This wiki-page says I could add executable scripts to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/<foo>… http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/XServer/xsession-errors Is this a mistake? Because in my opinion it is only for xorg config - and my test-script wiht +x I put there was not executed!
[17:08] <wolfybox_> MangaKaDenza: hi
[17:08] <MangaKaDenza> can someone tell me how to force an upgrade?
[17:09] <rawrmonster> TJ-: i am in root with (sudo -i) when i do "service lightdm stop" i get "stop unknown instance"
[17:09] <wolfybox_> why does a package ask for installation media if it's already there
[17:09] <BluesKaj> MangaKaDenza. make sure you have all the relavant repos enabled first
[17:09] <TJ-> rawrmonster: Then just "sudo rm /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority && sudo rm /home/$USER/.Xauthority" - assuming you're currently logged in at a tty or via ssh, as the affected user
[17:10] <TJ-> rawrmonster: else, replace $USER with the username itself
[17:10] <TJ-> rawrmonster: Then check "sudo ls -l {/var/lib/lightdm,/home/$USER/}/.Xauthority"
[17:11] <TJ-> rawrmonster: If they're both gone restart with "service lighdm start"
[17:11] <Marlenee> anyone know http and https proxy and socks5 manger web based
[17:12] <rawrmonster> TJ-: I am suppose to be a reg user again to start lightdm correct?
[17:13] <TJ-> rawrmonster: If you're still root you don't need sudo, else use sudo prefix
[17:13] <MangaKaDenza> AUGH
[17:13] <TJ-> rawrmonster: system services have to be started by root
[17:13] <MangaKaDenza> someone help me!

[17:14] <wolfybox_> how do i install the "libsdl1.2-dev" package, whenever i try to install it says package not found
[17:14] <rawrmonster> TJ-: Yea i have the same issue where i boot to the purple screen with an ubuntu logo but no place to login
[17:15] <hitsujiTMO> MangaKaDenza that could be an issue with steams repos there were having problems over the last few days
[17:15] <TJ-> rawrmonster: If it is still affecting things you need to inspect the log files again carefully, one or more of them ought to offer some clue as to what is going wrong.
[17:16] <rawrmonster> TJ-: ok sounds good :)
[17:16] <wolfybox_> how do i install the "libsdl1.2-dev" package, whenever i try to install it says package not found
[17:16] <TJ-> rawrmonster: You should be able to press the Escape key to make the purple splash screen disappear, and press Alt+F1 to get to tty1 terminal
[17:17] <hitsujiTMO> MangaKaDenza, i would suggest commenting out steams repos and see if the rest of your repos update
[17:17] <TJ-> rawrmonster: Pressing Alt+F1 through F7 should get you to tty1-7 respectively. If on tty7, which is reserved for the GUI, and the GUI is running, you'll need to press Ctrl+Alt+F{1..6} to escape it
[17:17] <rawrmonster> TJ-: ill brb have to do something for work real fast
[17:19] <wolfybox_> how do i install the "libsdl1.2-dev" package, whenever i try to install it says package not found
[17:19] <Rory> wolfybox_: What Ubuntu version are you using? Why are you wanting to install that package, are you following a guide?
[17:19] <trism> wolfybox_: which ubuntu version are you on? have you run: sudo apt-get update; yet? it is in main so if your repos aren't completely messed up it should be there
[17:21] <wolfybox_> Rory: ubuntu 13.04 64bit and yes i need it to compile my game
[17:22] <Rory> !info libsdl1.2-dev raring
[17:22] <Rory> wolfybox_: please run the command "sudo apt-get update"
[17:23] <wolfybox_> i did
[17:23] <wolfybox_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[17:24] <wolfybox_> Rory: ^^
[17:24] <Rory> wolfybox_: Close anything like update manager, or the software center.
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> wolfybox_  try this line
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[17:25] <wolfybox_> ok
[17:25] <MonkeyDust> wolfybox_  then apt-get update again
[17:25] <wolfybox_> doing that
[17:26] <Rory> wolfybox_: If apt-get update completes without errors, you'll be able to install your package
[17:27] <wolfybox_> there was a software update available and now it is installing
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> wolfybox_  problem solved?
[17:28] <wolfybox_> MonkeyDust: i am waiting for the software update to finish and will try again
[17:29] <Armegedn> Is it possible to startup directly to CLI with Ubuntu Desktop (12.04 LTS) ? I have a VM that I mainly use via SSH, and only want to load the Desktop Environment when needed.
[17:29] <MangaKaDenza> MonkeyDust, now the whole thing is broken
[17:30] <MangaKaDenza> and I think I accidentally uninstalled python
[17:31] <rangergord> after Unity, what Ubuntu desktop environment has the most devs working on it?
[17:32] <lolcat> rangergord: I doubt more than one person made unity, it is 100% terrible and useless
[17:32] <rangergord> I hate the tablet look (didn't buy a 1920x1200 monitor for nothing) but IIRC the other WM are buggy due to lack of proper support on Ubuntu
[17:32] <rangergord> at least Kubuntu was a few years ago
[17:32] <lolcat> tried xfce or kde?
[17:32] <lolcat> they have gotten better
[17:33] <rangergord> which one shows me text instead of expecting me to memorize icon photos?
[17:33] <rangergord> xfce seems nice enough. you're saying its stable?
[17:34] <MangaKaDenza> DONGS!
[17:34] <MangaKaDenza> I JUST DISABLED THE STEAM CRAP AND MAGIc hAPPENED!
[17:34] <MangaKaDenza> :D
[17:34] <jon8> This is an error that I get http://gyazo.com/4894a16f7a1a1f8f88a457a3b2c4ff28 when trying to edit a file via WinSCP after following this tutorial http://tinyurl.com/kuqmuny -- Any thoughts?
[17:34] <TJ-> Armegeden: Sure. The "lightdm" service needs disabling (/etc/init/lightdm.conf). The best way to do that is to add runlevel 2 to its list of runlevels it should *not* start for
[17:34] <rawrmonster> TJ-: I am back, i have an idea to try before i get too far into this
[17:34] <Armegeden> Thanks, TJ-, i'll look int it
[17:35] <trism> Armegeden: alternatively you can add text to the kernel command line, or: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override;
[17:38] <TJ-> Armegeden: This should do it: "sudo sed  -i 's/runlevel \[!06\]/runlevel [!026]/' /etc/init/lightdm.conf"
[17:38] <TJ-> trism: That's nicer... wish I'd known about that ages ago!
[17:39] <Armegeden> woof. Thanks! I'll need to research that command line lol. Once it's disabled and I want to enter/exit the environment, is this doable?
[17:39] <nullic> when does ubuntu 13.10 released?
[17:39] <auronandace> nullic: 17th
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> nullic  next week
[17:39] <nullic> kk thanks
[17:39] <trism> Armegeden: yeah I believe you can just: start lightdm; I think it ignores the text option when you start it manually
[17:40] <Armegeden> Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

[17:57] <wolfybox> how do i run a python script?
[17:58] <hitsujiTMO> wolfybox: python scriptname.py
[17:58] <wolfybox> ok
[17:58] <hitsujiTMO> thats one way of doing it
[17:59] <hitsujiTMO> if its +x and starts with a shebang then you can just: ./scriptname.py
[17:59] <feeshon> wolfybox: What version of python was it written for?
[17:59] <wolfybox> idk
[17:59] <wolfybox> the script is going to install python 2.7.5
[18:00] <asdasfsd> hi all, i want to install Ubuntu on one really old laptop: acer travelmate 8004LMi. What version is best for this. I try 10.10 only in LiveCD, working really hard.
[18:00] <feeshon> wolfybox: puppylinux
[18:00] <wolfybox> what??
[18:01] <TJ-> wolfybox: What script? Python should be installed via the package manager
[18:01] <feeshon> wolfybox: There is a distro called puppylinux, very lean. ubuntu isn't the leanest flavors of linux
[18:01] <hitsujiTMO> asdasfsd: give 12.04 a try
[18:01] <MonkeyDust> asdasfsd  one reason may be, that 10.10 is !eol, that is: dead
[18:02] <msbrown> wolfybox:  xubuntu is also pretty lean
[18:02] <feeshon> TJ-: wolfybox I think there is come confusion, if you are running python code you use python scriptname.py if you want to install the python packages use apt-get install python
[18:02] <wolfybox> feeshon: there is python 3 installed but i need python 2.7.5
[18:03] <feeshon> so do ' apt-cache search python and you will see all the options to install python
[18:03] <Zal> wolfybox, surely you have both? At the very least, both are surely available
[18:03] <BluesKaj> asdasfsd. http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/
[18:03] <TJ-> wolfybox: "apt-cache search '^python2\.7' to see what is available
[18:03] <wolfybox> Zal: no, i only have python 3, i'm trying to install python 2.7.5
[18:04] <Zal> "at the very least, both are surely available"
[18:04] <TJ-> Zal: Yes, I think 3 and 2.7 are installed alongside.  ... wolfybox: check "ls /usr/bin/python*"
[18:04] <Zal> TJ-, yeah, I'd think so too (of course, we don't know how wolfybox installed)
[18:05] <TJ-> Zal: indeed ;)
[18:05] <hitsujiTMO> wolfybox: python2 and 3 are installed in ubuntu normally
[18:05] <wolfybox> ok well how do i disable python3 then
[18:06] <MangaKaDenza> u explod it
[18:06] <mudkip908> but why?
[18:06] <MangaKaDenza> k?
[18:06] <neonlight> installed mod_musicindex in apache server, i see music files but when i download the playlist, its playlist.tar
[18:07] <wolfybox> i need python 2.7.5 to compile
[18:07] <Rory> neonlight: What were you hoping to get?
[18:07] <Zal> wolfybox, did you do "ls /usr/bin/python* " ?
[18:07] <feeshon> Any suggestions for DVD ripping software via command line?
[18:07] <feeshon> to run in ubuntu
[18:07] <Zal> feeshon, cdpranoia
[18:07] <mudkip908> wolfybox: change the first line in your script to "#!/usr/bin/python2"
[18:07] <Zal> cdparanoia tha tis
[18:08] <neonlight> Rory, something like playlist.m3u as it did before. the playlist.tar doesnt play
[18:08] <wolfybox> ok python 2.7 is installed but i need to disable python 3
[18:08] <ikonia> disable python3....I think not
[18:09] <Rory> neonlight: .tar is a tar archive, you need to extract it
[18:09] <TJ-> wolfybox: You do not need to disable it, you simply need to call python2.7 instead. "python" is linked to python3.3 which is why you get that.
[18:09] <hitsujiTMO> wolfybox: type: python --version
[18:09] <Rory> neonlight: it will have the mp3s or whatever in it, similar to Zip on Windows
[18:09] <TJ-> wolfybox: Try "python2.7 <your script name>"
[18:09] <Rory> neonlight: an m3u is useless on its own it contains no music, only lists of filenames
[18:10] <neonlight> Rory: using file on the playlist shows its data, even winrar won't open the file
[18:10] <feeshon> Zal: Looks like that is for audio only...I need to rip a DVD video
[18:10] <Rory> neonlight: have you considered using tar to extract the tar file?
[18:11] <Rory> neonlight: I think you should ask in #apache for help specific to an apache module, this channel is the Ubuntu support channel
[18:12] <Zal> feeshon, hm, not sure then, I assume mplayer and friends do it. I've always used k3b, which is awesome, but not CLI
[18:12] <mudkip908> feeshon: maybe Handbrake? I think it has a CLI version
[18:12] <neonlight> Rory: .m3u used to work fine with vlc from a client machine..i think i broke or misconfigure something. let me check #apache
[18:13] <feeshon> Thanks guys I'll give those a try
[18:13] <TJ-> wolfybox: To ensure particular Python scripts always start using Python 2.7, edit the script's 'shebang' line (line 1) to be "#!/usr/bin/python2.7"
[18:13] <wolfybox> it's not a script
[18:13] <wolfybox> it's scons
[18:14] <bindi> I have my speakers connected with optical, how can I control the volume using alsamixer?
[18:14] <juniour> hi these days my cpu is always showing 90-100% , and my system got slow, plz help???
[18:14] <TJ-> wolfybox: OK then you should be able to set the default version of Python using an environment variable
[18:14] <Zal> juniour, type "top" to see what process is using all that CPU
[18:15] <juniour> Zai its telling some .ruby.bin 70%
[18:16] <wolfybox> TJ-: ok how
[18:17] <tarelerulz> Do any of you have samsung Android phone?   How do you mount the sd card and the internal memory at the same time?
[18:18] <Myrtti> tarelerulz: you don't.
[18:18] <Rory> tarelerulz: They should both appear in nautilus's sidebar
[18:18] <tarelerulz> They don't
[18:19] <bindi> my spdif only has options for muting and unmuting on alsamixer, why?
[18:19] <Rory> tarelerulz: It must be hardware-specific then because they do on my Galaxy S2 running AOKP
[18:19] <tarelerulz> IT could be the rom
[18:19] <Myrtti> tarelerulz: which phone?
[18:20] <tarelerulz> Both my Asus transformer tf300 and  Samsung note 3 do the same thing? My note don't even show up
[18:22] <tarelerulz> I don't get why they don't show up .  I understand mtp is not supported native ,but I thought  usb 3 would be
[18:23] <eer> I want to practice using cron on Ubuntu. Anybody has good ideas for automation a home linux machine that is running 24/7?
[18:25] <rypervenche> eer: Backups :)
[18:25] <Mathisen> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[18:25] <tarelerulz> Any of you have stock  Sumsung phone? that you try to mount ?
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> eer  try this simple cron task     0 5 * * * rm /home/.cache     it removes the hidden cache folder daily at 5 am
[18:25] <TJ-> wolfy[A]: I just installed scons (in Raring) with "sudo apt-get install scons" then checked its start-up file "head $(which scons)" that shows that /usr/bin/scons launches the default python. So that file needs changing: "sudo sed  -i '1,1 s/python/python2.7/' /usr/bin/scons"
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> eer  try this simple cron task     0 5 * * * rm /home/[user]/.cache     it removes the hidden cache folder daily at 5 am
[18:26] <eer> Is that the internet files cache?
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> eer  that too
[18:27] <eer> backups is good
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> eer  you can also use @daily   it executes at midnight
[18:27] <eer> What else could be automated on an Ubuntu machine?
[18:28] <eer> Is it possible to refresh a web page with a cron script?
[18:28] <samholmes> Is there a way to list the status of daemons in init.d?
[18:28] <ikonia> daemons are not in init.d
[18:29] <ikonia> ubutu uses upsart
[18:29] <llutz> MonkeyDust: rm -r if you want to remove the dir
[18:29] <wheatthin> lol ubuntu uses upstart*
[18:29] <wheatthin>  :P
[18:29] <ikonia> wheatthin: why is that funny ?
[18:29] <ikonia> its a correct statement
[18:30] <wheatthin> calm down killer
[18:30] <ikonia> what ?
[18:30] <bazhang> !ot | wheatthin
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> llutz  true
[18:31] <TJ-> samholmes: Usually, "service $SERVICENAME status" will be sufficient, and should deal with both Upstart and SYSV init scripts
[18:32] <rakesh> hi
[18:32] <wheatthin> was just correcting his grammar, and he got butthurt. sorry. ahh well idiots.

[18:53] <TheSnowSpike> How to install amd drivers
[18:53] <TheSnowSpike> anyone please
[18:53] <DuncanNZ> TheSnowSpike: be patient
[18:53] <TheSnowSpike> okay sorry
[18:53] <llutz> eer: unfortunately, you could check the jobfiles in  /var/spool/cron/atjobs, at the end of those files you find the commands to run
[18:54] <DuncanNZ> TheSnowSpike: you can try going in to settings and finding something along the lines of "proprietary drivers" or "hardware drivers"
[18:54] <TheSnowSpike> okay i will try
[18:54] <TheSnowSpike> thank you
[18:55] <tjbiddle> Hey guys - if I want the 'jenkins' user to be able to run a `reprepro` command without a password and any arguments - would that be: jenkins ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/reprepro in my sudoers file?
[18:55] <tjbiddle> er- without a password, and all arguments are allowed
[18:56] <eer> llutz, how? I can not enter into that directory.
[18:56] <Guest96477> hi
[18:56] <llutz> eer: need to be root/use sudo
[18:56] <eer> sudo cd doesn't work
[18:56] <llutz> eer: sudo cd is nonsense
[18:56] <DuncanNZ> any success there, TheSnowSpike? are there any options there to enable AMD drivers?
[18:56] <tjbiddle> eer: sudo -i, then cd.
[18:56] <TheSnowSpike> no it can find drivers
[18:56] <eer> llutz, then how?
[18:56] <llutz> eer: see tjbiddle
[18:56] <llutz> eer: or sudo less /var...../filename
[18:57] <DuncanNZ> OK, sorry I don't know then, you can wait for someone else to help
[18:57] <TheSnowSpike> ikay thanks alot any way
[18:57] <tjbiddle> eer: If you're looking for an explanation of why - you need the execute bit on directories for your user/group in order to cd to it.
[18:57] <Guest96477> hw do i set my username.i dnt lyk guest.
[18:57] <DuncanNZ> Guest96477: are you using XChat?
[18:57] <Guest96477> yes
[18:57] <llutz> Guest96477: /nick newnick
[18:57] <tjbiddle> Can anyone toss me a bone on my sudoers file question? :)
[18:58] <DuncanNZ> Guest96477: go XChat -> Server List and set your preffered nicknames there
[18:58] <DuncanNZ> llutz's command will only work temporarily
[18:58] <eer> ok, thx
[18:58] <wissam_> Hi ,i've read that configuring /etc/security/limits.conf can prevent so called fork bomb,why it's not configured by default? for example ubuntu 13.04 freezes when excuting this command ":(){ :|:& };:"
[18:59] <DuncanNZ> Guest96477: and after you've done that you can reserve your nickname so other people can't steal it; type /nickserv help register
[19:01] <Guest96477> u mean goto xchat n open servertab
[19:01] <DuncanNZ> Guest96477: in Xchat, click "XChat" at the top left, then click "Network List"
[19:01] <k5673> tjbiddle: You want to run a command without entering the root password?
[19:02] <tjbiddle> k5673: I think I have what I want - what I posted worked. Specifically wanted to grant a user only sudo access to a single command
[19:02] <tjbiddle> Thanks!
[19:02] <k5673> tjbiddle: Edit /etc/sudoers with visudo
[19:02] <tjbiddle> k5673: I did :)
[19:02] <k5673> tjbiddle: Ah. OK!
[19:03] <Guest96477> it has'nt wrkd
[19:03] <Tex_Nick> 13.04 ... i have a used 1 TB used HDD, disks shows "15 bad sectors" ... i ran badblocks to see where the sectors were ... it ran for ~2 hrs then terminated without showing any bad sectors ... wondering what gives there ?
[19:04] <TheSnowSpike> Any one have amd HD grapich card on linux 12.04 LTS
[19:04] <compdoc> Tex_Nick, you need to read the drive's SMART info
[19:04] <vimpulse> Tex_Nick:  Hi :)  Why did you run badblocks?  Are you hoping to save and reuse the disk, or do you just want to rescue your data?
[19:05] <Tex_Nick> compdoc : SMART says the disk/health is OK
[19:06] <compdoc> Tex_Nick, can you pastebin.com the output of:  sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda     (or whatever the device is)
[19:06] <Tex_Nick> vimpulse: i don't need any data off drive ... want to partition & format it for new use
[19:07] <vimpulse> compdoc:  ^  Is this wise?
[19:07] <compdoc> why wouldnt it be?
[19:09] <vimpulse> dear all:  thoughts?  If a used hard drive shows "15 bad sectors", is it OK to reformat and reuse it as your primary HDD?
[19:09] <Tex_Nick> compdoc: sudo: smartctl: command not found ... uess i need to install it ?
[19:09] <Guest96477> unable to change username
[19:10] <compdoc> Tex_Nick, instead, run the program: Disk utility
[19:10] <vimpulse> Guest96477:  please choose a new nickname, and tell me your choice.
[19:10] <Guest96477> starhunter
[19:10] <vimpulse> Guest96477:  one moment please
[19:10] <vimpulse> Guest96477:  please type:  /nick starhunter
[19:11] <starhunter> thanks
[19:11] <vimpulse> starhunter:  it worked!  Thank you.
[19:11] <starhunter> did u do anything on ur part
[19:13] <compdoc> Tex_Nick, run disk utility from the desktop from dash
[19:13] <vimpulse> starhunter:  I double-checked that the nickname was unused and unregistered, but I changed nothing.  Next time you try to connect to Freenode, tell XChat to use starhunter as your first choice.  Also specify second and third choices.
[19:13] <vimpulse> starhunter:  To avoid the possibility of a collision, choose uncommon nicknames for your second and especially for your third:  preferably include a few digits at the end.
[19:13] <Tex_Nick> compdoc : will do sir ... had to answer phone ... brb
[19:14] <starhunter> n hw do i double check .earlier i tried with a differnt name bt  it wasn't working .may b it wasn't available

[19:15] <eer> After the last update to Ubuntu 13.04 a few moths ago I have the problem that during inital login into KDE y and z are reversed. Then however after logging in and for example locking the screen, y and z are correct on the keyboard. Only on initial KDE login. Any idea?
[19:16] <vimpulse> eer:  Do you know what the term "QWERTZ" refers to?
[19:16] <DuncanNZ> vimpulse: I believe it's some European version of the QWERTY keyboard
[19:16] <vimpulse> DuncanNZ:  correct.
[19:16] <vimpulse> eer:  ^
[19:17] <starhunter> thanks buddy.well i m new to x chat jst joind 2da. also m new to techy stuff .would u tell me what are the different servers for. are they like differnt  chatrooms?
[19:17] <vimpulse> dear all:  can anyone help eer avoid his QWERTZ problem?
[19:17] <jhutchins> eer: Where is your Z key on the keyboard?
[19:17] <eer> The Z key is to the right of "T"
[19:17] <jhutchins> vimpulse: That request is pretty much implied if someone posts here.
[19:17] <hay> hi all.. why do I get apparmor DENIED and the permission denied error for a profile that I do aa-complain for?
[19:18] <jhutchins> eer: Ok, you're using a US/International keyboard at login.  I believe that's set in kdmrc (locate kdmrc).
[19:18] <jhutchins> eer: You might also be able to set it in "loigin preferences" in the KDE settings menu.
[19:18] <vimpulse> starhunter:  you should read about IRC on the Web first, perhaps on Wikipedia.  :)  If you still have questionsabout IRC itself, please type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" before asking them.
[19:19] <kkpp0> guys...i installed windows 8.1 alongside ubuntu 13.04, and it messed the linux partition up
[19:19] <kkpp0> take a look
[19:19] <kkpp0> http://i.imgur.com/iZIKHrR.png?1
[19:19] <eer> Found kdmrc
[19:19] <kkpp0> on the left the 32gb free space in the 'extended' block
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> QWERTZU is german, AZERTY is belgian and french
[19:19] <kkpp0> was my partition
[19:20] <kkpp0> so i ran testdisk (right)
[19:20] <kkpp0> to recover it
[19:20] <eer> kdmrc is huge. which option is it?
[19:20] <kkpp0> but i can't figure out what to set each partition as (*,L,P,D)
[19:20] <starhunter> vimpulse:thanks.but i believe i can post q here itself.can i?
[19:20] <Benty> does anyone is french ?
[19:20] <vimpulse> starhunter:  it is better not to ask about IRC itself here.
[19:20] <vimpulse> !fr
[19:20] <DuncanNZ> !ubuntu-fr | Benty
[19:20] <DuncanNZ> oopn
[19:20] <DuncanNZ> oops*
[19:21] <helpmehelpme> how do you get files from ubuntu onto lubuntu( music, photos, etc. ) ?
[19:21] <vimpulse> starhunter:  and, for a few reasons, it is usually better not to ask on IRC for information that you can easily find on Google.
[19:21] <vimpulse> helpmehelpme:  hi :)  welcome to the channel.  why do you want to do that?
[19:22] <starhunter> vimpulse:thats scary.thanks anyways
[19:22] <vimpulse> starhunter:  why is it scary?
[19:22] <helpmehelpme> i just installed lubuntu and i only want my music, photos, and movies back.
[19:23] <vimpulse> helpmehelpme:  what happened to your Ubuntu installation?
[19:23] <vixxo> hi guys, is It true that starting from 13.10 Amazon search can't be removed ?
[19:23] <starhunter> well ur ans."can't q abt IRC"!!!
[19:23] <vimpulse> starhunter:  you can.  In #ubuntu-offtopic.
[19:24] <hitsujiTMO> vixxo i doubt it but #ubuntu+1 would know
[19:24] <helpmehelpme> vimpulse; i didnt delete ubuntu or anything. i don't even know how to mount ubuntu to lubuntu. just want to figure out how to run the partitions together i suppose ?
[19:24] <starhunter> so hw do i get into #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:24] <kostkon> starhunter, /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:24] <starhunter> #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:24] <DJones> starhunter: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:24] <hitsujiTMO> /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:25] <Tylertwo> helpmehelpme, If you open your Lubuntu file manager you should see the Ubuntu file system listed. Tell me if that's right.
[19:26] <helpmehelpme> it don't see anything.
[19:27] <Tylertwo> helpmehelpme, What file manager?
[19:27] <vimpulse> Tex_Nick:  I asked in ##linux if you can reformat and reuse your hard drive with "15 bad sectors" as your primary hard drive.  Psi-Jack said no.  You can ask him there why not, if you like.
[19:27] <vimpulse> compdoc:  ^
[19:27] <helpmehelpme> vimpulse; PCManFM
[19:28] <vimpulse> helpmehelpme:  please direct everything to Tylertwo :)
