[12:16] <dv-> use ffmpeg
[12:18] <ObrienDave> MonkeyDust, according to: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm, there are 34 time zones associated with a location. 35 if you include UTC (zulu time)
[12:19] <linu1> dv- it is working but is there any options in mplayer/
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> ObrienDave  that cerntainly proves, the earth is a sphere :p
[12:20] <ObrienDave> yes sir, it does ;P
[12:22] <aleksejs_> it's interesting that there's no time zone assigned to the north pole
[12:24] <ObrienDave> hmm, i would think they would use zulu time. i dunno
[12:26] <aleksejs_> as no one is resident of north pole, and as all longitude lines arecrossed there, there's no meaning of assigning specific time zone. Also on north pole there are only one day in year. But explorers mostly use GMT time
[12:28] <aleksejs_> back to my problem: still nothing is seeded :(
[12:28] <a6h3nd9> im having trouble getting vega to scan a tor website
[12:28] <a6h3nd9> it keeps coming up with a network error
[12:30] <ice9> after i installed gnome-shell from it's repo and installed gedit source to fix a bug, fonts inside gedit now are blured like this pic http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=msn2ia&s=5
[12:31] <aleksejs_> now I've added another torrent which is not downloaded yet, and it seeds now, but I guess it will stop seeding once download is finished
[12:32] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, it won't seed if no one is requesting that particular file
[12:33] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, what are your deluge bandwidth settings?
[12:33] <a6h3nd9> ?
[12:34] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, -1
[12:34] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, should be something like this: http://i.imgur.com/yct2Lly.png
[12:35] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, it's something like this
[12:38] <cfhowlett> a6h3nd9, just for fun, assume no one knows what a vega is or what you're talking about and explain further.
[12:39] <ObrienDave> lol
[12:40] <cm13g09> argh - this is annoying - trying to get pam_mount to play ball with a cifs share.  mount needs to run as the user to get the user's krb5 credentials, but yet according to mount "Only root can do that" when I specify noroot=1
[12:40] <cm13g09> Anyone got any pointers?
[12:43] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, have you tested the seeding with some popular ISO, like ubuntu 13.10?
[12:44] <adas> hi I need help with installing a program. I downloaded rtorrent-0.9.2.tar.gz from http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downloads/  , how do I install this?
[12:44] <aleksejs_> hmmm
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> adas  rtorrent is in the repos
[12:45] <aleksejs_> those torrents that are downloaded with deluge, still are seeding
[12:45] <adas> MonkeyDust:  I get older version from repo..
[12:45] <aleksejs_> but those that were already downloaded, are not seeding
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> !info rtorrent
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> adas  looks the same or newer to me
[12:46] <adas> what version do u have MonkeyDust
[12:46] <aleksejs_> restarted deluge, and now nothing is seeding
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> adas  ubuntu 12.04.3
[12:47] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, give it a minute to show up in the trackers
[12:47] <adas> MonkeyDust: i mena of rtorrent
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> !info rtorrent | adas
[12:48] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, it shows only one peer for each torrent
[12:48] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, that's quite possible
[12:49] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, but i'm quite sure it's not true
[12:50] <aleksejs_> 1. it shows 1 seed for EACH torrent; 2. at the same time, there are thousands of seeds
[12:50] <aleksejs_> s/seed/peer
[12:51] <aleksejs_> could it be something with network configuration?
[12:51] <efe> I have a problem with my ubuntu login page. I wanna report this to community. can anyone help me??
[12:51] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, yes, you see thousands of connections but only a few actual data transfers. that's normal
[12:51] <cfhowlett> !details|efe,
[12:51] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, not few, but only one
[12:52] <aleksejs_> it's like: Seeds: 0 (1234), Peers 0(1)
[12:52] <aleksejs_> pretty sure that's not possible
[12:52] <aleksejs_> should be a bug with something
[12:53] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, that's still possible. just because you're seeding, doesn't mean people are requesting. that's how torrent works
[12:53] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, that is normal
[12:54] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, then how come that linux clients are not seeding at all for some 2 months, but everything works fine on windows?
[12:54] <Left_Turn> on ubuntu i tried to install virtualenv.. its missing zlib..  i tried to install pip so i can find zlib, my pip install  fails it's missing setuptools. i try to install setuptools,  that fails to. The i try to run distribute_setup.py this  fails with so many urllib errors.. Is it really this  impossible on linux?
[12:55] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, the number in () are the number that have that same file as you. the first number are connections to YOUR copy. no biggie
[12:55] <aleksejs_> and how could it be that seeding works fine while torrent is downloading and after download, but until I restart Deluge?
[12:55] <j4n6> hey follks, is there somebody using a thinkpad with ubuntu 13.10 who knows how to further tweak the trackpoint? With other distros i get ibm/trackpoint as name and i can set it up to be a lot faster. Ubuntu only offers me "mouse" and not that high speed. Merry Xmas
[12:56] <efe> ok. I have problom with my login background. I use xubuntu 13.10. When the login page comes up, my xfce blue background do not show up, instead, a white and snowy-like image comes. When I change the user combobox to 'Other', the blue background shows up, then, when i change to my own username, the blue background is still there. In all Words, when i change the selected value of username combobox, the problem is solved.
[12:56] <aleksejs_> and also, there is a bug assigned specifically to Ktorrent but not solved yet, and there are reports about the same behaviour with other clients
[12:57] <aleksejs_> I'm 110% sure this is not a normal behaviour
[12:57] <j4n6> id love to be able to use elantech trackpoint tool but it says not supported
[12:58] <irhass> ls
[12:58] <irhass> sa

[13:06] <toni___> hola
[13:06] <chithira> I am having a ubuntu 13.10 USB is it possible to install ubuntu by replacing windows without loosing my windows disk partitions and its files ? I mean, I want to replace windows but wanna keep the partitions C: D: E: and the files inside it. Can anyone help me ?
[13:06] <adas> !backports
[13:07] <cfhowlett> efe, word to the wise; read more.  the bot sent a link telling you how to report a bug.  and screaming helppppp meeeee is the quickest way I know to get ignored.
[13:07] <cfhowlett> !patience|efe
[13:07] <cfhowlett> !details|chithira,
[13:08] <adas> MonkeyDust: do u know a way to install with the tar file?
[13:08] <efe> ok ok, sorry, I am new here
[13:08] <vmuser> what was the dpkg command to show files installed by package?
[13:08] <vmuser> --listfiles?
[13:08] <efe> I even didnt know what is ubottu
[13:08] <cfhowlett> vmuser, dpkg -l will list all    dpkg -l | grep packagename will specify
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> adas  tar -x    to extract the file
[13:08] <cfhowlett> !bot|efe
[13:09] <adas> MonkeyDust:  yes, and after :P?
[13:09] <cummseng> is it possible to make the unity bar only show icons which are open on the current screen? (i have dual screens)
[13:09] <chithira> Now I am running windows7. My question is.. is it possible to replace windows with ubunty by keeping all the hard disk partitions and its files ?
[13:09] <irhass> my linux mint can't connect a projector , should i  change the xrandr setting?
[13:10] <cfhowlett> !mint|irhass,
[13:10] <cfhowlett> chithira, not sure what you mean; keep the windows partitions?
[13:10] <V1TSK> chithira: you must format at least one partition to ext4 fs
[13:11] <chithira> Brother.. I mean
[13:11] <chithira> i have windows 7 now.
[13:11] <cfhowlett> chithira, perhaps if you restate the question with some clarity ...
[13:11] <aleksejs_> ObrienDave, I've found out that there's something interesting with upnp settings @my wireless router
[13:11] <efe> chithira : since u dont wanna keep windows boot along side with your ubuntu boot(dual boot), the easiest solution is to insert windows dvd, go to partioion manager, delete the boot partition of windows (and create free unallocated space for linux if u dont have), Then install ubuntu
[13:12] <aleksejs_> maybe this is the reason?
[13:12] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, could be
[13:12] <V1TSK> chithira, format one partition to ext4 and then install Ubuntu into it.
[13:12] <Mark_de_J> hey
[13:12] <cfhowlett> Mark_de_J, greetings
[13:12] <irhass> hope Ubuntu Touch will support MediaTek devices
[13:12] <Mark_de_J> I got again a problemmo.
[13:12] <vmuser> cfhowlett, 10x
[13:13] <chithira> and my hard disk partitians are C, D and E.. in C I installed windows. Now I want to uninstall windows and replace it with ubuntu. I dont care about the C drive. But I have to keep the files in D and E
[13:13] <Mark_de_J> Yesterday I did this to stop my network problem: [19:09] <imghost>  Sudo service network-manager restart [19:09] <Mark_de_j> and then? [19:09] <Mark_de_j> Is everything back to default? [19:10] <imghost> No then use sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager
[13:13] <Mark_de_J> But now it takes very long before I got internet.
[13:13] <efe> chithira , since u dont wanna keep windows boot along side with your ubuntu boot(dual boot), the easiest solution is to insert windows dvd, go to partioion manager, delete the boot partition of windows (and create free unallocated space for linux if u dont have), Then install ubuntu
[13:14] <ObrienDave> aleksejs_, yes, it seems your router has something to do with it. not really sure on that one
[13:14] <cfhowlett> chithira, doable.  when you run install, select the "something else" option when you get to the partitioning stage.  of course, back up all data first.
[13:14] <chithira> efe, dose that means I wont loose any files of other drives ?
[13:15] <vmuser> how can I track from where an application is taking it's icon?
[13:16] <chithira> thanx for the help guys... see you in ubuntu :)
[13:16] <efe> chithira, oofcourse u wont loose, boot partion is about 20Mib. If u dont need C partition, u can also delete it so that it become unallocated, then install ubuntu

[14:28] <Xeno-Genesis> Hello, I'm having trouble with my Intel graphics chip and multiple displays.
[14:28] <Xeno-Genesis> The laptop is refusing to recognize the position that I've set for the monitors. It keeps putting my laptop screen to the left.
[14:28] <Ycarene> I'm trying to compile a program and it's throwing out  "Object gtk-config' not found in defined platform paths!", I've got the dev packages for libgtk installed (for both version)
[14:30] <Ycarene> Or is it bad to ask that here?
[14:31] <donta> I am trying to redirect example.com --> www.example.com on my server except that when I do I get a 403, I understand that I need to setup 2 vhosts on my server one for example.com and another for www.example.com do I need to have a full config on both or just activate the host with a2ensite?
[14:31] <cfhowlett> Ycarene, easy to ask, hard to get an answer as this is not necessarily  a coding channel.
[14:32] <donta> this is the redirect I'm using: http://pastebin.centos.org/6866/
[14:33] <Ycarene> cfhowlett - Well, I'm not really looking for coding advice, I just need to know what package has gtk-config in it.
[14:34] <Ycarene> cfhowlett - because it's not in either libgtk3-dev or libgtk2-dev
[14:34] <cfhowlett> Ycarene, try dpgk -l | grep gtk-config
[14:35] <hggdh> or apt-file search gtk-config. But I am guessing this is not the name of the file
[14:35] <AlecTaylor> hi

[14:39] <AlecTaylor> Thanks
[14:40] <chrispecoraro> Anybody have any luck installing 13.10 on a MacBook Pro?
[14:41] <OerHeks> chrispecoraro, some did > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[14:41] <Ycarene> cfhowlett - hmm,  no gtk-config, though from a little digging it looks like gtk-config went the way of the dinosaur when gtk2 came out and it uses pkg-config.  I don't think I can install this program.
[14:42] <chrispecoraro> actually, I can run 13.10 in virtualbox but with 4gig on the machine it's pretty slow since compiz is a memory hog
[14:42] <cfhowlett> chrispecoraro, lubuntu/xubuntu would be lighter
[14:42] <Rory> chrispecoraro: In situations like that I usually recommend Xubuntu, which is a lot lighter on graphical resources specifically
[14:42] <chrispecoraro> Right, i'm using lubuntu
[14:42] <leo_> MonkeyDust_: i know, but we got a lot posts about my nvidia card down there
[14:43] <Rory> chrispecoraro: Lubuntu is good too but it's even more lightweight
[14:43] <chrispecoraro> xubuntu is lighter than lubuntu?
[14:43] <[Gentoo]> no
[14:43] <chrispecoraro> xfde vs lxde
[14:43] <cfhowlett> chrispecoraro, other way around I think
[14:43] <chrispecoraro> Okay
[14:43] <[Gentoo]> with 4gb ram though you wont notice much difference
[14:43] <OerHeks> lubuntu 256 mb / xubuntu 512 mb // ubuntu 1 gb
[14:43] <[Gentoo]> going from xfce to gnome etc is quite major
[14:44] <Rory> chrispecoraro: Lubuntu is more lightweight, but I imagine your main issue is graphical reosurces if you're virtualising. So either Xubuntu or Lubuntu would be good, but (IMO) XFCE is more mature
[14:44] <Rory> Other opinions are available
[14:44] <[Gentoo]> http://l3net.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/a-memory-comparison-of-light-linux-desktops/
[14:45] <chrispecoraro> My goal is to install it as a partition.
[14:45] <chrispecoraro> Apple sucks for many reasons as a developer computer used to linux.
[14:46] <chrispecoraro> (the OS)
[14:46] <Rory> chrispecoraro: If you do, don't forget you can switch between x/l/ubuntu very easily, you don't have to just pick one
[14:46] <chrispecoraro> Right, in fact I have unity and lubuntu installed
[14:46] <vmuser> is there a dedicated channel for openstack questions?
[14:47] <craigbass1976> I've got a kid with a laptop.  I've set up a directory on a web server so that he can load up the directory as a local one (sshfs user@remte-box/dir/ local/dir/) and it works fine if he types his password correctly.

[14:50] <sideone> hey all. i had a linux box that had openvpn installed. i have just removed the pakage and disabled the rc.d scripts. I still see a br0 being created, but do not have any tun interfaces anymore. This box is running from a vm guest, but i only have a single nic allocated to the box. How can i stop the creation of the br0 interface?
[14:51] <sideone> if i use brctl delbr, the interface is created again on boot.
[14:51] <sideone> also interfaces, does not show an int for br0

[14:53] <chrispecoraro> I've read that it's more difficult..DANG APPLE!!!

[14:56] <phelix> I have an item in cron. I can tell that its not running properly. as what its supposed to do doesn't actually update. But if I take the command that i have in there and copy it and paste it . It runs fine. How can I troubleshoot this? In cron if i add > file.log the only thing that populates in this log file is. "#!/usr/bin/env tail: cron.log: file truncated" but no output about what is happening
[14:56] <phelix> other than this goes into the log file Anyone have any ideas ?
[14:57] <chrispecoraro> cfhowlett: I just need to be sure that there is no chance that my Apple OSX partition will be changed or damaged.
[14:57] <MonkeyDust_> phelix  make sure you use full paths, no shortcuts like ~ or ../
[14:57] <phelix> MonkeyDust_> Yea, everything has a full pathto it

[14:58] <MonkeyDust_> phelix  the 0 bothers me, what's it suppsed to do?
[14:59] <phelix> runs at the beginning of every hour
[14:59] <phelix> 4:00 - 5:00 etc
[14:59] <shreezbot_> How can I determine what is using a filesystem on my machine?  I'm trying to umount it, and it won't let me because it is in use, but it is empty, so I can't tell what would be using it...
[14:59] <jstnc> lsof
[15:02] <chrispecoraro> shreezbot_: are you IN the directory?
[15:03] <aliendou_> hi folks - i am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 on a VPS and would like to install a GUI desktop.  would you recommend i install xfce as a lightweight option?
[15:03] <synmuffin> hey all is there a way to limit specific clients (by ip) that can query my dnsmasq service? like a whitelist or something?
[15:03] <cfhowlett> aliendou_, absolutely
[15:03] <aliendou_> fantastic!
[15:04] <aliendou_> ok, i have done all upgrades and updates.  do i need to run the     sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   first?
[15:04] <shreezbot_> chrispecoraro, No, I'm not in the directory.  I had already made that mistake...  :)
[15:04] <MonkeyDust_> aliendou_  no, use xubuntu-desktop
[15:04] <aliendou_> ahhh
[15:04] <aliendou_> sudo apt-get install xfce4
[15:04] <aliendou_> oops
[15:05] <cfhowlett> LOL
[15:06] <aliendou_> installing xubuntu now
[15:06] <aliendou_> thanks MonkeyDust_
[15:06] <aleksejs_> I find kubuntu-desktop more stable than xubuntu-desktop
[15:07] <trisquelgnu> is it possible to install windows on a machine that already has ubuntu pre installed and let both the system coexist?
[15:07] <aleksejs_> yes
[15:07] <cfhowlett> trisquelgnu, sure.  you'll need to set up the bootloader thought
[15:07] <cfhowlett> *though*
[15:08] <MonkeyDust_> trisquelgnu  technically yes, but windows will ruin the grub
[15:08] <aleksejs_> but if you have an UEFI then it's better to intall win8
[15:08] <trisquelgnu> cfhowlett: how
[15:08] <cfhowlett> trisquelgnu, windows WILL wipe your bootloader so be ready to reinistall grub
[15:08] <cfhowlett> !grub
[15:08] <trisquelgnu> MonkeyDust_: yes but can it not be corrected?
[15:08] <MonkeyDust_> trisquelgnu  sure, see what ubottu says, but it's a pain, you'll get frustrated and think ubuntu is no good
[15:09] <cfhowlett> MonkeyDust_, ^^^ until the first time you actual get the fix and find it so simple a caveman could do it ...
[15:09] <aleksejs_> you will need to modify windows bootloader later to be able to boot from ubuntu. Or even easier way is to restore grub from livecd/usb
[15:11] <dharani_sahu> hi is there any way for speeding up the system
[15:12] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, define "speeding up"
[15:12] <dharani_sahu> im a developer so usually there is eclipse running along with some local servers
[15:12] <trijntje> dharani_sahu: that depends on what is slowing it down
[15:12] <bsdtux> Hey everyone does anyone have much experience with bumblebee. I am having problems getting optirun glxgears to run.  How do I do that. I have checked the bios. It is an Asus laptop
[15:13] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, it depends on purpose
[15:14] <bsdtux> Q550L
[15:14] <aleksejs_> are you web developer? language?
[15:14] <bsdtux> is the model
[15:14] <dharani_sahu> yes im a web developer with java and python along with javascript
[15:15] <aleksejs_> for py/js, vim with some plugins will be enough, but not for java
[15:15] <leo_> dharani_sahu: try komodo-edit
[15:15] <leo_> bsdtux: which gpu do you have?
[15:15] <aleksejs_> maybe netbeans will be better choice
[15:16] <huttan-> dharani_sahu: sublime text 2
[15:16] <aleksejs_> also, you can try disabling JS validation in elipse
[15:16] <bsdtux> I have an Intel Haswell and Nvidia GT 745 M
[15:16] <Lucid_Lynx> Hi there, i found the german Wiki to be inconsistent when using terms like "Repositories, Archive " and "Paketquelle"..., so its confusing to me..
[15:16] <aleksejs_> siblime text 2 is also good choice, but it's not an IDE
[15:16] <leo_> i got the same problem here with an GT 740M
[15:16] <dharani_sahu> okay
[15:17] <leo_> i cant even put bbswitch to work
[15:17] <dharani_sahu> but what about auto complete
[15:17] <nikow> bsdtux, In general, tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
[15:17] <nikow> should help.
[15:17] <bsdtux> good to know I am not the only one with problems. I have been banging my head against the wall for a week now
[15:17] <leo_> me too, i got a new dell and its a haswell with this gpu too
[15:17] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, autocomplete works in every ide, and in sublime/vim
[15:17] <leo_> a Vostro 5470
[15:17] <nikow> bsdtux, And propobly you must reload your nouveau driver
[15:18] <nikow> bsdtux, modprobe -r nouveau
[15:18] <nikow> modprobe nouveau
[15:18] <bsdtux> nikow says /proc/acpi/bbswitch No such file or directory
[15:18] <nikow> bsdtux, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
[15:18] <nikow> sudo apt-get update
[15:18] <dharani_sahu> aleksejs: i have tried vim but its using only commands
[15:18] <leo_> nikow: dmesg | grep -C 10 bbswitch:
[15:19] <nikow> sudo apt-get install bbswitch
[15:19] <dharani_sahu> and very hard to remember
[15:19] <leo_> bsdtux:
[15:19] <leo_> dmesg | grep -C 10 bbswitch:
[15:19] <nikow> Damn, sorry, i must go
[15:19] <nikow> it should work
[15:19] <nikow> its always working
[15:19] <nikow> you don't have bbswitch in general
[15:19] <leo_> i have
[15:19] <leo_> but it doesnt load
[15:19] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, there are gazillion of plugins for vim, and there are nice tutorials. Basically, you don;t need to remember vim commands, you need to understand vim logic
[15:19] <leo_> [ 1128.807856] bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.
[15:20] <bsdtux> I get unable to locate package bbswitch
[15:20] <dharani_sahu> aleksejs_: can you give some links for tutorials
[15:21] <aleksejs_> dharani_sahu, http://vim-adventures.com/ this one is nice
[15:21] <dharani_sahu> aleksejs_: thanks alot
[15:22] <ceq> What's the difference between installing ubuntu 12 via WUBI or just installing it via boot-CD on a seperate partition?
[15:23] <bsdtux> leo_:
[15:23] <bsdtux> dmesg showed that it failed to evaluted some things
[15:23] <leo_> bsdtux: i having the same issues
[15:23] <leo_> i cant even make bbswitch work :/
[15:24] <bsdtux> I just got bbswitch-source installed. Going to reboot and see if that does anything.
[15:29] <opensue> v
[15:29] <dipak> hello
[15:29] <opensue> ddd
[15:29] <opensue> sory
[15:30] <MonkeyDust_> opensue  it works, we see you
[15:30] <opensue> yes
[15:33] <Mitizaro> is there a way to
[15:33] <Mitizaro> create USB flashable for linux (like mint, ubuntu 12.04) when i'm under Debian 7.3
[15:34] <MonkeyDust_> Mitizaro  better ask in the debian channel, i guess
[15:34] <cfhowlett> Mitizaro, unetbootin ...
[15:35] <dipak> cfhowlett: unetbootin is for windows
[15:36] <Guest74546> unetbootin is for ubuntu, too
[15:36] <trijntje> dipak: thats not true, you can install unetbootin from the repository
[15:36] <Guest74546> /?
[15:36] <cfhowlett> dipak, read more, post less.  unetbootin runs on several OS
[15:37] <cfhowlett> bad poetry aside ...
[15:39] <dipak> cfhowlett: didn't knew that thanks for the info.
[15:39] <cfhowlett> dipak, no worries
[15:45] <Unovy> ...Hey
[15:45] <cfhowlett> Unovy, ho
[15:46] <Unovy> Hello

[15:46] <cfhowlett> !details
[15:46] <MonkeyDust_> Unovy  lol, let's hear it
[15:46] <LainOfTheWired> what the problem it be?
[15:47] <Unovy> First of all, I'm new with ubuntu so... I'm not good with that OS yet

[15:49] <Unovy> I've updated my ubuntu with the lastest updates, and now my grub customizer is not working
[15:50] <ice9> what is the path to openjdk?
[15:51] <MonkeyDust_> ice9  in a terminal, type    which openjdk
[15:51] <bsdtux> leo_ I just tried to the acpi_hack for the lenovo's but that didn't help either
[15:52] <ice9> MonkeyDust_: I mean the JAVA_HOME path
[15:52] <cfhowlett> ice9, in your terminal    whereis openjdk
[15:53] <leo_> bsdtux: #bumblebee
[15:53] <glitsj16> ice9: echo $JAVA_HOME
[15:53] <ice9> glitsj16: it's not defined so I want to set it,  so I need to know where it's installed by apt-get
[15:54] <bsdtux> leo_ ok I am on there now
[15:54] <harushimo> I need to install multiple packages in apt-get.  what is command for it
[15:54] <leo_> bsdtux: there two gents there discussing our problem
[15:54] <harushimo> is it apt-get install package1, package2...etch
[15:55] <Pici> harushimo: apt-get install package1 package2 package3
[15:55] <cfhowlett> harushimo, sudo apt-get package1 package2 ...
[15:56] <ircuser12345> imghost, are you there?
[15:57] <glitsj16> ice9: okay, what did any of the other suggestions do? i run the oracle but i bet it's under /usr/lib/jvm somewhere
[15:57] <harushimo> thank you
[15:57] <imghost> ircuser12345, yes mate what's up?
[15:58] <glitsj16> Unovy: not very familiar with grub customizer, but does the grub menu show/work ok?
[15:58] <Unovy> Not actually, it crashes when it's loading
[15:58] <ircuser12345> imghost, thankyou for helping me now my usb wireless is working thanks alot
[15:59] <Unovy> Oh, you mean grub menu, yes, it is, but grub customizer stop working after I updated my ubuntu
[15:59] <imghost> ircuser12345, enjoy :)
[15:59] <glitsj16> Unovy: okay, at least you can boot into your system?
[15:59] <Unovy> Yes I can
[16:00] <kostkon> Unovy, is grub costumizer an app?
[16:00] <dipak> Unovy: try to run grub customizer as root
[16:01] <Unovy> Okay, I'll try to run as root
[16:02] <Unovy> Still crashing
[16:02] <Mitizaro> hey guys - is there automatic equivallent of Microsoft Visual Studio -- that translates sass into css without using ruby or typing to console eeevery type you start project.. :)
[16:03] <Mitizaro> someone?
[16:04] <linux> hmm
[16:06] <harushimo> anyone setup openstack on ubuntu?
[16:07] <yto> my notebook doesnt shutdown in ubuntu. anyone can help me?
[16:07] <glitsj16> Unovy: can you put the output of your regular grub customizer start command (so not running as root if this isn't regular) into paste.ubuntu.com? without some more info it's a shot in the dark..
[16:08] <harushimo> yto: whats going on?
[16:08] <yto> harushimo: my labtop doesnt shut down. can you help me?
[16:08] <nblavoie> happy holidays
[16:09] <dipak> yto: give more info
[16:09] <nblavoie> yto > CTRL + ALT + T then enter sudo reboot
[16:09] <harushimo> yto: do this command in terminal: sudo shutdown -h now.  It should shutdown
[16:09] <Unovy> You mean, the text is shown when I run grub-customizer from the terminal?
[16:10] <glitsj16> Unovy: correct, when you paste that into paste.ubuntu.com you'll get a URL, please post that here some the channel can see it
[16:11] <glitsj16> !pastebinit | Unovy
[16:11] <yto> harushimu: in ubunto when click on shut down display ubuntu logo with 4 dots but doesn shutdown and stop on it. i test sudo shutdown -h now and sudo shutdown -P now but doesnt work!
[16:13] <yto> harushimo: in ubuntu when click on shut down display ubuntu logo with 4 dots but doesn shutdown and stop on it. i test sudo shutdown -h now and sudo shutdown -P now but doesnt work!
[16:13] <aliendou_> hi folks, im trying to run the xfce4 desktop on ubuntu via a VPS and i get this message http://pastebin.com/cEiw9eYK  can anyone tell me what might be wrong please?
[16:14] <harushimo> yto: try a power cycle.  I think something getting caught when it is shutting down
[16:15] <glitsj16> Unovy: that output looks okay, except for the dbus error .. have you ran sudo update-grub after the updates ?
[16:16] <PatrickDickey> Hey everyone. I've got a weird question. I installed Ubuntu 13.10 using the server disc, and added a couple of desktops. Now, when I boot up, I get the Waiting for Network Configuration message, followed by the waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration, and it fails. But, if I boot in Recovery Mode, I can start the network without a problem. I'm at a loss as to what to fix/check with this problem. I've checked /etc/network/in
[16:16] <SchrodingersScat> I'm running a pptpd server, and right now only one client is able to connect.  I get 'Could not open control connection to <server>' in syslog.
[16:17] <Unovy> I'll try to run, just a moment
[16:17] <dipak> Unovy: have you restarted the machine after update?
[16:17] <newatit> i need help on removing x.org
[16:17] <aliendou_> here is a better error message http://pastebin.com/WQ49UaW1
[16:17] <Rory> newatit: What are you hoping to achieve?
[16:18] <Rory> newatit: Turning a normal Ubuntu install into one with no display, like a server?
[16:18] <Unovy> Yes I restarted
[16:18] <newatit> is the x.org a virus?
[16:19] <leo_> newatit: nop, it's your display server
[16:19] <dipak> newatit: Why do you think so?
[16:19] <llutz> newatit: http://www.x.org/wiki/
[16:19] <PatrickDickey> ShrodingersScat is the server on ubuntu or just the client?
[16:19] <SchrodingersScat> PatrickDickey: both are ubuntu.
[16:19] <PatrickDickey> newatit, x.org is the organization behind the server that runs your desktop.
[16:20] <Rory> !xorg | newatit
[16:20] <Unovy> Okay, I've run sudo grub-update here. Now I'll try to run grub-customizer again
[16:20] <usermac> hello
[16:20] <newatit> ok now im confussed
[16:20] <SchrodingersScat> PatrickDickey: the client that can connect is xubuntu 13.10, then I have another xubuntu 13.10 that cannot connect, and my android device also could not connect while it has been able to in the past.
[16:21] <Rory> well newatit why don't you explain what problem you'e having? That would be a good place to start
[16:21] <glitsj16> Unovy: fine, show the channel the URL from pastebin again, i don't mind PM but than only i can see it, which is not the purpose, the more help you can get the bbetter right..
[16:21] <decci> We are a small school, and we've been running on Zentyal (Ubuntu) for each of our 5 years. It is time to retire our current server and put a new server in place.  We can install Zentyal on the server and set it up for remote access.   I want to achieve the following...  Configure Zentyal to support client authentication, and establish roaming profiles on all lab machines such that a student logging on to any machine on the network or
[16:22] <decci> Any idea?
[16:22] <Rory> decci: Best not to mention you're not technically using Ubuntu in here
[16:22] <Rory> decci: The technology you want to research is called "ldap"
[16:22] <dipak> newatit: it's the display server that helps to display the OS user interface or any display related programs.
[16:22] <newatit> whats netpanzer?
[16:22] <PatrickDickey> decci, that sounds like something for Zentyal's support not so much ubuntu's.
[16:23] <dipak> newatit:a free open source online multiplayer tactical warfare game
[16:24] <newatit> ok.. i never downloaded that.. but it has tons of files in my computer..
[16:25] <PatrickDickey> newatit, if you downloaded one of the games that it hosts, that may be why. Honestly, I've never heard of it, so I can't be sure.
[16:25] <yto> harushimo: power cycle?
[16:25] <PatrickDickey> Actually newatit, are you talking about x.Org or netpanzer when you say you never downloaded it.
[16:26] <harushimo> yto: hold down power button until the laptop shut it off. It shouldn't take long
[16:26] <newatit> netpanzer..
[16:26] <Unovy> glitsj16: Here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/6629889/
[16:26] <Rory> newatit: What files are there from it on your comuter? you could try finding it in the Software Center and clicking Remove
[16:26] <PatrickDickey> newatit, you can remove it by running apt-get remove netpanzer then. Or remove it in Software Center.
[16:27] <glitsj16> Unovy: thanks, having a look
[16:27]  * PatrickDickey is a command line junkie...
[16:27] <newatit> how can i check if a file is legit or not? or how can i check my system?
[16:27] <yto> harushimo: ok . but  is  this true?
[16:28] <PatrickDickey> newatit, assuming you only install programs from the official repositories (not third party locations), you can be fairly confident that they're legit. There are programs that you can install to verfiy the files later, but I'm not sure if they verifiy them originally or not.
[16:28] <dipak> newatit: or try synaptic package manager to search the files
[16:29] <newatit> i dont have netpanzer installed in  software centr
[16:29] <glitsj16> Unovy: not really seeing anything that jumps out .. what version of ubuntu are you seeing this on?
[16:30] <Unovy> glitsj16: I'm currently using ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x64)
[16:30] <PatrickDickey> newatit, if you're comfortable with the command line, you can try sudo apt-get remove netpanzer or sudo apt-get purge netpanzer. If it's installed, then that *should* remove it (purge will remove all configuration files and anything associated with it).
[16:31] <Rory> newatit: Could you tell us what files have aroused your suspicion? It's possible it was somehow installed by mistake; what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[16:31] <Rory> newatit: It's not really that simple to say whether a file is "legit" or not
[16:33] <harushimo> yto: I did a few computers and laptop before.  That may solve the shutdown problem
[16:33] <harushimo> yto:  I seriously think the laptop is not completely restarting
[16:34] <newatit> whats this --->>>  The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:   thunderbird-globalmenu gir1.2-ubuntuoneui-3.0 libubuntuoneui-3.0-1
[16:34] <harushimo> yto: it isn't clearing your memory
[16:34] <dipak> newatit: these files are already in your system.
[16:35] <PatrickDickey> Is anyone here comfortable with Network Manager? It crashes when I try to boot up normally, but it loads if I try to boot through Recovery mode.
[16:35] <PatrickDickey> Newatit, that means that they were installed as part of other updates/package installations, but were left when you removed those other updates/packages.
[16:36] <newatit> is it possible that its from windows?
[16:36] <dipak> newatit: no
[16:36] <glitsj16> Unovy: sorry, had a phone call .. what you could try is seeing if there's a more recent version of grub-customizer, what version do you use right now? apt-cache policy grub-customizer will show you ..
[16:37] <PatrickDickey> newatit, nope. Windows doesn't "see" the linux drives, and linux won't install windows programs unless you use WiNE. It's just a normal thing through upgrades.
[16:37] <Rory> newatit: Those packages are on my Ubuntu system too, they're to do with the email client, and a couple of other things. It's safe to remove them if you like, with the command "sudo apt-get autoremove" but they don't do any harm by being there
[16:38] <Unovy> glitsj16: That's okay. It's saying that I've installed the "4.0.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1p" version
[16:39] <newatit> i dont have windows anymore.. when i tried to reformat windows it didnt clean the drive properly so.. i installed ubuntu using a USB i made with an infected windows..
[16:39] <PatrickDickey> newatit, did Ubuntu format the drive as part of its installation?
[16:40] <newatit> yes..
[16:40] <JoeyJoeJo> I ran 'update-rc.d drbd defaults' to make drbd start on boot, but when I rebooted, drbd wasn't started. How can I fix that? Is there another command I should be running to make things start at boot?
[16:41] <newatit> but is it possible that the Ubuntu USB installer i made from windows is infected?
[16:41] <PatrickDickey> newatit, unless you install Something like Wine (a program that allows you to run Windows programs), then windows files (.exe, .bat, .dll, etc) won't run.
[16:41] <PatrickDickey> So, newatit, even if the USB was infected, the virus wouldn't have any effect at all.
[16:41] <Rory> One of the primary reasons I use Linux actually :3
[16:42] <Unovy> glitsj16: I've checked in launchpad.net that there is 5 different packages avaliable. https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer/+packages
[16:42] <glitsj16> Unovy: that looks like the most recent version available .. so that plan is gone hehe, i'm afraid that i don't have anything more usefull .. best shot you have is contacting the maintainer of the PPA through launchpad and adding your error info
[16:43] <Unovy> glitsj16: Is there a possibility I've installed the wrong one?
[16:43] <glitsj16> Unovy: yeah, those are for different versions of ubuntu
[16:44] <glitsj16> Unovy: it's unlikely, if you added the PPA through the regular procedure it should only offer you the package for precise (12.04) ..
[16:45] <pyrobisqit> hello, I'm having problems with the free AMD drivers, as they cause corruption and I'm unable to install Ubuntu
[16:45] <pyrobisqit> is there a way to install ubuntu in text-mode? I think there was an alternate CD somewhere? I can't find it
[16:46] <Unovy> glitsj16: Oh... I see. I'll try to find a way to contact the maintainer about this issue
[16:48] <newatit> how come i see similar configurations that the virus did to my windows?
[16:48] <PatrickDickey> pyrobisqit You might be able to use Ubuntu-server for that. That's how I had to install ubuntu on this laptop.
[16:48] <PatrickDickey> newatit, what do you mean by similar configurations?
[16:48] <glitsj16> Unovy: https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer has a link in the right column to report bugs, you might need to make a launchpad account to use that facility, add your ubuntu version and the error like you pasted here before
[16:49] <pyrobisqit> PatrickDickey: Unfortunately, Ubuntu-server lacks USB drivers I need for keyboard, so that's no good, I don't have any PS/"2 keyboards anymore
[16:49] <pyrobisqit> maybe I can install Lubuntu, but it's unbelievable that there's no way to install Ubuntu without 3D acceleration anymore
[16:49] <gmachine_24> greetings. I use rsync to back up my music drive; however, everyone so often the back up drive ... well, I don't know what happens but folders disappear and the drive goes into a "read only" mode; supposedly root has rw access but even as root I can't change anything. this has happened several times over the years and the only solution is a reboot. I'm going to run an e2fsck on the drive but...
[16:50] <gmachine_24> ...can anyone explain this? thanks.
[16:50] <newatit> like changing the update settings.. and adding trust certificates
[16:50] <PatrickDickey> pyrobisqit you could try a net install disc then. If you have to install an older version, you can always upgrade to the version you want.
[16:50] <newatit> installing and copying files.. and changing my settings
[16:50] <pyrobisqit> PatrickDickey: Nope. Net install disc doesn't have UEFI key to boot in secure mode. I don't want to install using a MBR style partitioning scheme
[16:51] <pyrobisqit> I would have to boot it in BIOS mode apparenttly
[16:51] <PatrickDickey> Newatit, I would say it depends on what settings and certificates are being changed. WIndows update does those things also, to an extent. But the important thing is Windows viruses won't work on Linux, and there are very few Linux viruses in the wild.
[16:52] <PatrickDickey> pyrobisqit disable secure boot. Then you can reenable it after you install, if you want.
[16:52] <pyrobisqit> I guess I'll just go with Lubuntu and then install ubuntu-desktop
[16:52] <Unovy> glitsj16: Okay, I'll create an account to report this bug
[16:52] <xaier> Merry Christmas!
[16:53] <pyrobisqit> PatrickDickey: It's not just secure boot keys, the net install system will actually be installed in BIOS mode, thus no GPT and many other UEFI features
[16:53] <pyrobisqit> the system would be running in BIOS legacy mode
[16:53] <glitsj16> Unovy: best of luck, at least you can get into your system manually ..
[16:54] <aditya> hello
[16:54] <gmachine_24> there is a swap file on a drive I use to store music - nothing else. do I need a swap file on this drive>
[16:54] <Unovy> glitsj16: Yes, that's what I was thinking of
[16:54] <gmachine_24> ?
[16:54] <newatit> it redirects me to sites and tracks my surfing activities.. it even logs my local activities
[16:54] <ceq> I'm currently installing ubuntu on my dads xp-home machine. I did so via wubi. Since xp wont be updated in april, is it safe to work on ubuntu this way?
[16:54] <Unovy> glitsj16: But how do I access the list of options that grub menu shows when my machine boots up?
[16:55] <PatrickDickey> gmachine_24 I think you're confusing swap file with something else. in Linux, a swap file is like the virtual memory in Windows. It uses a portion of your drive space as "memory".
[16:55] <newatit> how do i get rid of these things?
[16:56] <glitsj16> Unovy: you will need to hit the left shift or esc key just after your bios splash to show the regular grub menu
[16:56] <PatrickDickey> pyrobisqit If you boot the netinstall disc in UEFI mode, it should install in UEFI mode. If not, you can use BootRepair to fix that later.
[16:57] <PatrickDickey> newatit, what does all of these things? And when you say it redirects you to sites, do you mean it directs you to another site when you go to say amazon.com, or does it redirect you to a search page?
[16:57] <Unovy> glitsj16: Hm... Doing that, it'll give me the option to reorder the list?
[16:58] <ceq> was that a stupid question? i'm having trouble understanding the core difference between a wubi install and a normal, parallel install next to windows - any help?
[16:58] <yto> my labtop doesn shut down in ubuntu(test sudo shutdown -h now and shutdown -P now) but doesnt work. can anyone help me?
[16:58] <phunyguy> hey what is the difference between the -p and -d options with do-release-upgrade?
[16:58] <gmachine_24> PatrickDickey: I know what a swap file is. but I'm looking at  the drive and a swap file is listed ... taking up 6gb more or less..... which makes no sense to me
[16:59] <phunyguy> gmachine_24, because swap is a partition, not a file.
[16:59] <newatit> im having areally had time explning things sorry
[16:59] <PatrickDickey> !wubi | ceq try this.
[16:59] <gmachine_24> phunyguy: OK, I meant partition. Alright? Anyway, it's there and I don't know why.
[16:59] <phunyguy> gmachine_24, since it is a partition, that space is considered used.
[17:00] <imghost> yto, which make and model?
[17:00] <PatrickDickey> gmachine_24 how much memory do you have in the computer/
[17:00] <ceq> ubottu: but is it safe to use ubuntu this way adter april, when xp doesnt get updated anymore?
[17:00] <phunyguy> ceq, ubottu is a bot.
[17:00] <ceq>  yeah i realized..
[17:01] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  what's the linkt between xp and ubuntu, exactly?
[17:01] <dipak> phunyguy: -d is for upgrade to development version of ubuntu or to the beta version.
[17:01] <ceq> thats my question. they are on the same drive, but different partitions
[17:01] <danny4way> I have an error with linux-header-3.8.0-31-generic
[17:01] <glitsj16> Unovy: no, to do that you will need to edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file manually, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg .. just make sure you don't mess up the syntax .. in fact, do a sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.bak before editing, so you have a backup
[17:01] <danny4way> it says there's no installation candidate.
[17:01] <danny4way> I need that or i can't process what i am doing.
[17:02] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  even if you should delete xp, you can still use ubuntu, they are independent from each other
[17:02] <ceq> ok sweet. so wubi is just an installation interface?
[17:03] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  a wubi, that's a windows application and something you should avoid
[17:03] <danny4way> E: Package 'linux-headers-3.8.0-31-generic' has no installation candidate
[17:03] <Bahman_Dool> how to change host name in ubuntu? I want the terminal be like root@foo not root@bar
[17:03] <danny4way> I have this error
[17:03] <glitsj16> Unovy: if you're not sure about this, pastebin that file and if you tell me what order you want things to appear in i'll try to edit it for you, i just need a quick break, be back in 5 minutes
[17:03] <Unovy> glitsj16: Okay
[17:04] <yto> imghost: acer E1-572G
[17:04] <dipak> danny4way: can you post details?
[17:04] <danny4way> Okay. I will post it on pastebin
[17:05] <imghost> yto, paste the output of dmesg
[17:05] <danny4way> dipak, http://pastebin.com/eGYmwcty
[17:06] <phunyguy> dipak, I understand the -d option, but what is the -p option?
[17:06] <Bahman_Dool> how to change host name in ubuntu? I want the terminal be like root@foo not root@bar
[17:07] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: why should i avoid it? im trying to make a smooth transition for my das from xp to ubuntu. is wubi the wrong way to do so? does ubuntu installed via wubi work without windows if i decide to delete it?
[17:07] <ceq> *dad
[17:09] <gmachine_24> I don't seem to be able to make my point. I have Ubuntu and Debian and Windows on one drive. There are two swap files on this drive. I have two OTHER hard drives to store/back up my music. This is all they do. Yet, one has a 6GB swap file and other partitions which make no sense to me. So, never mind. II don't need a swap on that drive. Thanks anyway.
[17:09] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  wubi is nice is nice to make yourself familiar with the ubuntu interface, but not a real installation
[17:09] <MonkeyDust_> typo*
[17:09] <spexi> Bahman_Dool: edit /etc/hostname
[17:09] <gmachine_24> swap files = swap partitions/////// my bad
[17:09] <glitsj16> Unovy: back, can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and show me the url please? feel free to pm me, we can discuss the order you want your setup to show in in pm if you don't mind
[17:10] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: ok thanks!
[17:10] <Unovy> glitsj16: Okay, I'll PM about the order
[17:11] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: i backed up mail, private data,... so formatting windows finally and giving ubuntu a full install is the way, right?
[17:11] <Bahman_Dool> spexi, that does not work
[17:11] <howefield> danny4way: saucy doesn't have the 3.8 kernel, you won't find it in the saucy repositories. Try updating grub.
[17:12] <danny4way> and how do i update grub?
[17:12] <MonkeyDust_> ceq  great, backup was a good idea, now you can go ahead and not panic when something goes wrong
[17:12] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: my dad is not as skilled as me, i hope there will be no issues with the printr drivers etc...
[17:13] <howefield> danny4way: from a terminal, sudo update-grub and then reboot.
[17:13] <spexi> Bahman_Dool: why not?
[17:14] <danny4way> howefield, thank you
[17:16] <ceq> MonkeyDust_: thanks for yor help and happy holidays!
[17:20] <newatit> can anyone help me with trackers?
[17:21] <WebbyIT> newatit, what's your problem?
[17:21] <dougl> newatit, what is a tracker?
[17:23] <BAMbanda> Hello, I'm tring to install the LightTable ide from their website, it came as a tarball (tar.gz), so i untarred it fine and tried to run the program via ./LightTable, but I'm getting a message: "bin: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[17:24] <BAMbanda> although I just downloaded libnss3
[17:24] <Rory> BAMbanda: Do they provide installation instructions; specifically a list of dependencies?
[17:24] <BAMbanda> nope, http://www.lighttable.com/
[17:24] <newatit> whats the ramoops.ko file?
[17:25] <Rory> newatit: You're asking very weird, specific questions with no conext
[17:25] <dipak> newatit: it's a kernel module
[17:26] <Rory> Firstly BAMbanda did you download the 64 or 32 bit version? And do you ave a 64 or 32 bit installation?
[17:26] <newatit> whats it for?
[17:27] <BAMbanda> Rory, "Linux shai-Satellite-C855D 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
[17:27] <Rory> OK BAMbanda so ensure you downloaded the 64-bit version from the site
[17:27] <BAMbanda> Rory, ah that must be it
[17:27] <Rory> newatit: Apparently it "Log panic/oops to a RAM buffer"
[17:27] <dipak> newatit: kernel driver module
[17:28] <Rory> newatit: So if your system completely crashes up, at least it's able to display some kind of error message
[17:29] <newatit> oh ok.. thatnks
[17:33] <danny4way> After I update grub, it still doesn't work.
[17:33] <danny4way> http://pastebin.com/eGYmwcty
[17:33] <danny4way> same error
[17:35] <Rhiannon87> hello i want to upgrade my ubuntu installation (12.04) to the latest, but i notce that there is no alternate cd, with the latest version is it possible to activate existing LVM ?
[17:35] <Rhiannon87> previously i use alternate cd to use lvm encryption
[17:36] <MonkeyDust_> Rhiannon87  better stick to 12.04, soon the next LTS wil be out
[17:36] <newatit> how do i check my system using the terminal?
[17:36] <dipak> danny4way: what is the version of kernel currently in use by ubuntu?
[17:37] <MonkeyDust_> newatit  what do you want to know?
[17:37] <Rhiannon87> MonkeyDust_: and the alterate cd will be back in 14.04?
[17:37] <MonkeyDust_> Rhiannon87  yes, it's the server installer
[17:37] <dipak> newatit: type lspci
[17:37] <danny4way> how do i check dipak?

[17:39] <khildin> 3.8.0-31-generic <- kernel version
[17:39] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  now uname -r
[17:39] <MonkeyDust_> Rhiannon87  no GUI, if that's what you mean
[17:39] <danny4way> After uname -r, i get this
[17:39] <danny4way> 3.8.0-31-generic
[17:39] <Lucid_Lynx> Is there something like automatic password changes, based on a predefined basis in Ubuntu ?
[17:40] <Lucid_Lynx> a packet i could install ?
[17:40] <dipak> danny4way: 3.8.0-31 kernel version is already used by the system try to update it to a greater version.
[17:41] <danny4way> and how do i update?
[17:41] <yto> i cant shutdown my in ubuntu( i testshutdown -h and -P)but doesnt work
[17:42] <danny4way> is it  sudo update-grub ?
[17:42] <danny4way> dipak
[17:42] <MonkeyDust_> yto  "sudo shutdown -h now" without quotes
[17:42] <MonkeyDust_> yto  or sudo init 0
[17:43] <dipak> danny4way: you already did that isn't it?
[17:43] <yto> i test this but doesnt shutdown
[17:43] <danny4way> Yes  I did. But after that the computer didn't shut down so i forced it to shut down
[17:43] <Rory> danny4way: What are you trying to update?
[17:43] <MonkeyDust_> yto  don't forget suo i that line
[17:43] <MonkeyDust_> sudo*
[17:44] <ceq> my mouse and keyboard dont work on the login screen, ubuntu 12.04 - works on splash screen and freezes afterwards... any solutions to this?
[17:44] <danny4way> Okay. I am trying to install Virtual Box on Ubuntu. But there are many steps i have to take in order to install it.
[17:44] <danny4way> Rory
[17:44] <Rory> danny4way: And "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" doesn't wrk?
[17:44] <ceq> * the mouse cursor that is
[17:44] <danny4way> Wait. is it that easy?
[17:45] <Rory> danny4way: yes...
[17:45] <xmetal> hmm that wsa odd ... cable modem had to be reset
[17:45] <Rory> danny4way: Open the software center, search for "virtualbox", click Install
[17:45] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  what were you trying?
[17:45] <newatit> when i typed this apt-get autoremove.. this appeared " Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied)" and this one " Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?"
[17:45] <Rory> There's no messing around with Grub involved
[17:45] <danny4way> Because when i googled it, it says I have to first
[17:45] <danny4way> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:45] <danny4way> then
[17:45] <xangua> danny4way: saucy has no 3.8 kernel
[17:45] <danny4way> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[17:45] <Rory> danny4way: Maybe if you want to compile it yourself or something
[17:46] <xmetal> anyway it seemed some of the "dependencies" (where cause of a bad install or someone didn't mark them as depend... ) for Unity in my Mint 16 were not marked to be installed
[17:46] <xangua> newatit: sudo apt-get autoremove
[17:46] <Rory> danny4way: Before you go searching random internet sites it's best to look in the software center, it's what it's there for
[17:46] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  alwayf first look if it's in the repos (software center)
[17:46] <xmetal> after reading a few forum posts, installed a few more packages and it works fine now
[17:46] <danny4way> I really don't know. But I am just following the instructions from GOogle
[17:46] <danny4way> Rory
[17:46] <LongH> whats the current size of blockchain data and what is it expected to reach by say midway through 2014 ?
[17:46] <danny4way> Okay. MonkeyDust_
[17:46] <Rory> !virtualbox | danny4way
[17:46] <Rory> danny4way: so, "sudo apt-get install virtualbox"
[17:47] <dipak> ceq: what kind of interface your mouse and keyboars are using USB or PS/2
[17:47] <danny4way> Okay. Rory
[17:47] <MonkeyDust_> newatit  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[17:47] <danny4way> But on that website, it says I have to sudo apt-get install dkms
[17:47] <danny4way> I am not sure why. But it's what they say.
[17:48] <ceq> dipak: keyboard is ps2 - mouse can do both. usb legacy is enalbed. currentlz plugged vis usb
[17:48] <danny4way> And after that I have to get extension package.
[17:48] <Rory> danny4way: You don't have to. use apt-get or the Software Center and it will get dependencies for you
[17:48] <ceq> *currently
[17:48] <Rory> danny4way: You can get the extension package by clicking a button in Virtualbox once it's instaled. it even prompts you to do it
[17:48] <LongH> http://www.coindesk.com/2013-bitcoin-trading-volume-winners-losers/
[17:49] <danny4way> Okay. Rory. It's installed.
[17:49] <LongH> intresting article, bout exchanges lying about trading volvume and the incentives to do so
[17:49] <MonkeyDust_> LongH  take that to #ubuntu-offtopic, please
[17:49] <LongH> oops wrong window
[17:49] <danny4way> Now where do i find it? They don't prompt me for extension pack. Rory
[17:49] <newatit> what does that do monkeydust?
[17:49] <MonkeyDust_> newatit  unlock that lock file
[17:50] <Rory> danny4way: Why do you want it?
[17:50] <Rory> danny4way: Continue without it until you find you require it
[17:50] <danny4way> Idk. I am trying to get windows 8 on my computer
[17:50] <Rory> danny4way: OK so go ahead and install Windows 8 in Virtualbox
[17:50] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  windows 8 in virtual box?
[17:50] <danny4way> Yes. Why? MonkeyDust_
[17:51] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  ok, i tried it and didnt make it
[17:51] <newatit> how can i identify unwanted files in my computer using terminal?
[17:51] <Rory> newatit: Only you know what's unwanted
[17:51] <danny4way> What about windows 7? MonkeyDust_
[17:52] <danny4way> I need to use both Windows and Ubuntu.
[17:52] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  windows 7 works, technically, but it's slow... windows xp werks well
[17:52] <danny4way> That's okay if it's slow.
[17:52] <dipak> ceq: try running ubuntu in recovery mode and then report if that works or not
[17:52] <danny4way> Okay. So right now, I launched Oracle VM VirtualBox manager. And when i start it, it says error.
[17:53] <danny4way> MonkeyDust_
[17:53] <ceq> dipak: it works there
[17:53] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  what error?
[17:53] <danny4way> Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 7
[17:54] <danny4way> The virtual machine 'Windows 7' has terminated unexpectedly during the startup with exit code 1
[17:54] <ceq> dipak: it works on boot too, until the login screen. then the cursor freezes and i cant get to console vis alt+shidt+f1
[17:54] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  is it a iso or a dvd?
[17:54] <danny4way> When i click on details, it says Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
[17:54] <newatit> how do i create a clean Ubuntu USB installer?
[17:55] <jeff__> hello?
[17:55] <dipak> ceq: Try run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:55] <danny4way> I didn't even do anything. It comes with it. MonkeyDust_
[17:55] <MonkeyDust_> !usb | newatit start here
[17:55] <danny4way> I launched it and it comes with it so i start it.
[17:55] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  you need an iso or a dvd you want to install
[17:55] <danny4way> Oh and another error I didn't see. MonkeyDust_
[17:56] <danny4way> Kernal driver not installed (rc=-1908)
[17:56] <ceq> dipak: ok
[17:56] <ceq> dipak: doing so from recovery mode obv.
[17:56] <newatit> !usb
[17:56] <danny4way> It says The VirtualBox Linux kernal driver(vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing.
[17:56] <danny4way> MonkeyDust_
[17:56] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  maybe your windows version is 64bit and vbox can't handle that, or it must be specified somewhere
[17:57] <ceq> dipak: should i restart after running the command?
[17:58] <Tasab> hi all , wtz the latest ver of ubuntu ? can u send the link 4 download - thanx
[17:58] <danny4way> And underneath that, it says 'etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernal module if necessary
[17:58] <danny4way> MonkeyDust_
[17:58] <dipak> ceq: yes start ubuntu normally
[17:58] <MonkeyDust_> danny4way  if you're not helped in this channel, try #vbox

[18:24] <dipak> yto: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[18:25] <yto> dipak, 12.04 LTS
[18:26] <ryan_turner|MTW> I used qemu-img resize +20GB on a .img, and virt-manager shows that image as now being +20GB over the original size, but in the VM I can't figure out how to expand the partition. The guest is ubuntu 12.04 server and I have it installed with LVM. On the guest, vgdisplay shows the VG size as still the old size (19.76 GiB), and when I tried to lvresize -L +20G but it said there was space. So, what am I missing here? I thought this was su
[18:26] <ryan_turner|MTW> pposed to be as simple as making hte .img bigger on the host and then using lvresize on the vg to bump the size up of the drive (accessing it by booting the VM up with knoppix)
[18:26] <Turingi> is there a way to gather the text output of cron'd commands in a file somewhere?
[18:27] <ryan_turner|MTW> Sorry, lvresize said there wasn't enough space*
[18:28] <dipak> yto: it is a bug for 12.04 i think it might be solved in recent versions of ubuntu. you could try those versions.
[18:29] <yto> dipak, what version of ubuntu can solve my problem?
[18:30] <neongas> I want to add thousands of package to a reprepro managed repository. The packages and repository are on same filesystem. What is the fastest way to do it? Can I make reprepro use hard links instead of copying all the packages?
[18:32] <vonko> hello guys
[18:32] <vonko> is there way to download and put codeforge?? i cant locate a package... is this a program at all?
[18:33] <peterrooney> neongas: why not just mv them?
[18:34] <neongas> peterrooney: mv to pool/ of the repository?
[18:35] <vonko> someone??
[18:35] <esde> Is there a way to do this in ubuntu? http://www.macworld.com/article/2014011/how-to-make-your-own-fusion-drive.html Supposedly, this guide shows how to make a  do it yourself hybrid drive (ssd&hdd)

[18:37] <dipak> yto: for how long this problem is appearing?
[18:38] <esde> * yto has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[18:39] <compdoc> esde, I use a 64G ssd to cache a 1TB drive. It works very well. I wouldnt call it a hybrid, tho
[18:40] <esde> Could you share any links that may have helped you set it up? Or offer some guidance otherwise. I'd like to try to set it up
[18:40] <dipak> yto: check this out<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:44] <newatit> how can i check if my system has bugs?
[18:45] <dipak> newatit: it will show up automatically
[18:45] <PatrickDickey> newatit: The easiest way is to ask questions about what exactly is going on. If you don't know, it might not be a bug, or at least it won't be anything we can help fix.
[18:46] <PatrickDickey> For example, if I boot lubuntu 13.10 up normally, my network never gets configured. But, if I go into recovery mode, and select Networking, and then resume, it works.
[18:46] <navin> hi all!! why ubuntu doesnt connect to ad-hoc connections?
[18:47] <newatit> in my update manager.. my settings keep on changing..
[18:49] <newatit> it automatically downloads and updates packages that i didnt approve of
[18:49] <MarkDavies> Hi. Let us assume that I have two bootloaders installed, LILO and GRUB. How can I check which is the one used by the system?
[18:50] <PatrickDickey> MarkDavies: When you boot up, does it say GRUB Bootloader at the top of the selection screen?
[18:51] <MarkDavies> yes, but I mean in the situation where I didn't see the boot-up process, and I'm not allowed to do it.
[18:57] <PatrickDickey> So anyhow, does anyone have ideas about why I can get my network to configure if I use recovery mode, but not if I boot normally? Wireless LAN only although I have used eth0 also.

[19:20] <bytefire> problem is when try to create partitions myself it comes back with error: no root file system defined.
[19:21] <bytefire> while i have created a root partition
[19:23] <bytefire> so by root file system, ubuntu is asking for '/' partition, is that right?
[19:23] <bytefire> and not /root
[19:25] <OerHeks> !partition
[19:26] <bytefire> OerHeks thanks. let me try that
[19:26] <DJRWolf> I updated my Ubuntu now it boots to a command prompt, suggestions?
[19:27] <OerHeks> bytefire, the last url http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning  is an extended excellent howto
[19:28] <esde> Does anyone know of a way to accomplish the same goal as in this tutorial (creating a "hybrid" drive from a ssd and hdd into a single logical volume). I tried googling but it didn't turn much up
[19:28] <esde> http://www.macworld.com/article/2014011/how-to-make-your-own-fusion-drive.html
[19:28] <OerHeks> DJRWolf, did your ubuntu work fine before update?
[19:28] <LINUXED> "sudo apt-get install irssi" is not working on ubuntu 13.10 destop
[19:29] <LINUXED> the same command is installing irssi client on edubuntu
[19:30] <DJRWolf> OerHeks yes
[19:30] <OerHeks> LINUXED, try " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  " first
[19:30] <OerHeks> DJRWolf, sounds like it does not find your videodriver, did you install that manually?
[19:30] <bytefire> ty OerHeks, just waiting for current installation to error so i can try this now
[19:30] <esde> I'd like to use my SSD to cache my HDD
[19:30] <DJRWolf> OerHerk I did updates, reboot and strait to command prompt, I only used Update Manager
[19:31] <charlie> Anybody having bluetooth problems on 13.10?
[19:31] <DJRWolf> OerHerk of note I did install the Cinnamon UI
[19:31] <DJRWolf> OerHerk months ago that is
[19:31] <LINUXED> another issue on the same 13.10 distro is that I can't find the shutdown buttons
[19:32] <OerHeks> DJRWolf, cinnamon is in the repos, so that would be fine. no, i meant did you install videodrivers and did you do that manually or tru the softwaremenu ?
[19:32] <LINUXED> when I type sudo halt the OS shuts down but the PC itself remain on
[19:33] <DJRWolf> OerHerks only thing I did was tell Update Manager to download and install all of the updates
[19:34] <DJRWolf> OerHerks after that it had the "Reboot Now" button and I clicked it, when it came back up it went strait to prompt
[19:34] <kgalahassa> LINUXED, this problem I refreshing myself, i think that I can't fixe it until now, why this? sudo halt the Os, but the PC itself remain on!!
[19:34] <kgalahassa> LINUXED, it's on 12.10 too
[19:37] <bytefire> ok
[19:37] <bytefire> ubuntu somehow installed successfully but loads into command line

[19:39] <XATRIX> Hi guys, i'm using Ubuntu 12 LTS server
[19:39] <XATRIX> And most of my scripts return me:
[19:39] <XATRIX> root@vox2-clu-ua:~# service glusterfs-server stop
[19:39] <XATRIX> stop: Unknown instance:
[19:40] <XATRIX> What do i do wrong ?
[19:40] <XATRIX> root@vox2-clu-ua:~# service networking restart
[19:40] <XATRIX> stop: Unknown instance:
[19:40] <XATRIX> networking stop/waiting
[19:41] <SaberX01> XATRIX, you need to use sudo  ... sudo service networking restart
[19:41] <XATRIX> i'm currently under root account
[19:41] <SaberX01> why are you using root ?
[19:41] <SaberX01> that can cause all kinds of problems.
[19:42] <XATRIX> I setup server as a root, and later i'm gonna use it as user ?
[19:42] <SaberX01> No, you dont use root at all on a ubuntu server.
[19:43] <SaberX01> you use sudo  ..
[19:43] <XATRIX> Hm.. ok
[19:43] <XATRIX> xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo service glusterfs-server start
[19:43] <XATRIX> glusterfs-server start/running, process 2321
[19:43] <SaberX01> the root account does not even have a password, you ahve to give it one to use the account, but should not do so.
[19:43] <XATRIX> xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo ps axu | grep gluster
[19:43] <XATRIX> xatrix    2372  0.0  0.0  10612   960 pts/0    S+   21:43   0:00 grep --color=auto gluster
[19:43] <XATRIX> Nothing extra
[19:44] <SaberX01> At this point, there's no telling what's gone wrong if you been using the root account, you probably better off reinstallign and settign things up the right way.
[19:45] <XATRIX> xatrix@vox2-clu-ua:~$ sudo service networking restart
[19:45] <XATRIX> stop: Unknown instance:
[19:45] <XATRIX> networking stop/waiting
[19:45] <SaberX01> XATRIX, info on RootSudo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:45] <XATRIX> The same for user
[19:45] <XATRIX> Something is going completely wrong
[19:46] <SaberX01> Yeah, you used the root account.
[19:46] <XATRIX> So, how can i fix it ?
[19:46] <SaberX01> reinstall it.
[19:46] <XATRIX> You gotta be kidding
[19:47] <SaberX01> I've done 100's of server installs, I don't think I ever had to use the root account for anything.
[19:48] <XATRIX> SaberX01: yes, but i'm new to Ubuntu servers
[19:48] <XATRIX> before it i used Centos, and never had problems with doing things under root
[19:48] <SaberX01> And your learning :-) ..
[19:48] <SaberX01> I know, I use CentOS 5 / 6 .. and there, yes, root account, but not on a Ubuntu server.
[19:49] <XATRIX> Hell
[19:49] <XATRIX> How can i fix it without reinstall
[19:49] <XATRIX> It's not good to reinstall linux
[19:49] <SaberX01> Read this and the server guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:49] <XATRIX> It's improper way to
[19:50] <SaberX01> XATRIX, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/
[19:50] <bytefire> in command line on ubuntu when i enter startx it errors by saying no screens found. what does that mean?
[19:52] <SaberX01> XATRIX, That's my recommendation, you can't fight it if you wish,  but a little reading ahead of time would have saved you allot of trouble.
[19:52] <brownfox> dumb question but i just cant remember. How do I drop out of the gui and operate only in terminal in ubuntu? is it like killall xstart or something?
[19:53] <brownfox> or i should have said startx
[19:53] <SaberX01> brownfox, Ctrl_Alt+F1
[19:53] <SaberX01> CTRL+Alt+F1
[19:54] <brownfox> @SaberX01 cheers
[19:54] <XATRIX> SaberX01: So there's no way to fix my system ?
[19:55] <SaberX01> XATRIX, I'm sure there's a way to fix it, but I don't know how, nor would I want to re-permission the whole system.
[19:55] <XATRIX> I didn't change any permissions
[19:56] <SaberX01> XATRIX, it's your choice.
[19:56] <brownfox_> quit
[19:58] <pvl1> in a terminal, what does . file do?
[19:58] <SaberX01> Nothing
[19:58] <SaberX01> . file tries to execute a binary that probably isn't there
[19:59] <pvl1> SaberX01: alright thanks
[19:59] <SaberX01> man file .. see more into
[19:59] <SaberX01> *info
[20:01] <trism> pvl1: . file is the same as: source file, see: help .; in bash
[20:03] <pvl1> i tried man .
[20:03] <pvl1> but thanks trism reading now

[20:07] <wiehan> SaberX01, NOT UNITY, ubuntu also supports gnome-shell
[20:07] <SaberX01> what desktop are you talking about then
[20:08] <apollo> join #ubuntu
[20:08] <wiehan> SaberX01, How can I create a custom **gnome shell** shortcut to an application in the left hand "launcher"

[20:09] <SaberX01> wiehan,  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnome-shell+add+launcher
[20:09] <wiehan> SaberX01, yeah that hard to spell "shell"
[20:09] <Beldar> SaberX01, no google that please
[20:11] <SaberX01> wiehan, yeah it is, shell kinda tough to google.
[20:11] <SaberX01> wiehan, if it's so easy for you to spell, why not try using it yourself.
[20:12] <Beldar> wiehan, I assume this is a desktop launcher if not be more specific, this is relative in spite of release mentioned. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html
[20:13] <levo> what's a lightweight software for pdf viewing having the capability of commenting an highlighting? i use evince but it can't do such things AFAIK
[20:13] <yaraju> Has anyone here figured out how to make a "What U Hear" type stream show up in PulseAudio in Ubuntu 12.04? I want to record all of the output on my soundcard to audacity.
[20:13] <wiehan> SaberX01, Well one could google yes, I agree. I am an advocate of JFGI. Sometimes you also want to ask a human, in a community that was built in the spirit of Ubuntu.
[20:13] <Beldar> !pdf | levo
[20:15] <Beldar> levo, There is a list of pdf apps for ubuntu somewhere I'm looking.
[20:16] <onethreeninesix> hi
[20:17] <SaberX01> levo, in addition to thats listed Foxit, Chrome, Xpdf, Apvlv, Zathura, MuPDF, Quick Poll .. just for a few more.
[20:17] <Reynaldo_Jose> anyone here using ubuntu touch on nexus 4?
[20:17] <Beldar> levo, commenting out is the tough one linux pdf apps are just not up far some tasks that you can get for windows. okular has some use, not sure relevant.
[20:18] <levo> SaberX01,Beldar : im using evince and it works fine, but i need to comment and highlight things
[20:18] <Beldar> !touch | Reynaldo_Jose
[20:18] <Reynaldo_Jose> thanks Beldar
[20:19] <yaraju> I've asked on #pulseaudio but they suggested my problem was more specific to #ubuntu
[20:20] <Beldar> levo, About a year ago I went through most of what linux offers and was surprised at the limitations of what I found, depends on your need I suppose, commenting out is a tough one I think, if I understand it's meaning.
[20:20] <Beldar> IE editing a pdf
[20:20] <levo> beldar: not editing, just leaving comments
[20:20] <SaberX01> levo, Okular for KDE or Acrobat probably the most widely used in that fashion, e.g. Comment & Highlighting.
[20:21] <Beldar> levo, okular works for that I believe pretty well.
[20:21] <levo> saberx01: okular is not lightweight
[20:21] <levo> in comparison to evince
[20:21] <Beldar> levo, gotta take what you get in a system at times. ;)
[20:21] <SaberX01> levo, agreed, .. but it does the job well.
[20:22] <levo> SaberX01: could there be some add-ons for evince that do those things/
[20:22] <Beldar> that heavy chocolate cake is heavy, but tastes so good. ;)
[20:22] <levo> ?
[20:23] <SaberX01> levo, there may be add-ons / plugins,Iv'e only used Evince briefly.
[20:24] <levo> SaberX01: thanks, i'm googling
[20:24] <alket> How do i remove asking for keyring in Ubuntu, its driving me crazy, thank you
[20:26] <SaberX01> alket, when are you referring too, login, after screen saver when ?
[20:26] <Beldar> alket, When and where is this happening, and did you add a key to it?
[20:26] <alket> SaberX01: when I connect to wireless, opening google chrome etc.
[20:27] <alket> Beldar: when I connect to wireless, opening google chrome etc.
[20:27] <alket> Beldar: No i didn't
[20:28] <alket> Beldar: I don't want too, I just don't need it. Is it possible to remove it completly ?
[20:28] <Beldar> alket, the wifi should be a auto link, did you tick that in its preferences, chrome is strange have you run it as root or are using the terminal to launch?
[20:28] <alket> Beldar: no, I just click on launcher, it shows on startup too
[20:28] <Beldar> alket, If you mean remove the password we don;t support that here.
[20:29] <alket> Beldar: to remove keyring application
[20:29] <Beldar> alket, I'm not sure if keyring is what the syntax is, a password for the wifi yours or the one for the router is common.
[20:30] <dluzius> how to create new folder in U 13.10
[20:31] <SaberX01> Beldar, keyring is right, unless the interface is enabled for all users, then the keyring will not appear, but the WLAN PW (if used) will still prompt the user.
[20:31] <Beldar> dluzius, right click make new folder
[20:31] <Beldar> SaberX01, I'm  not sure in their description that is a clear scenario however.
[20:31] <SaberX01> dluzius, in term .. mkdir ./dir-name or in file manager, right click, new folder
[20:32] <alket> I have to click cancel many times to use the desktop
[20:32] <alket> when it was gnome 2 I knew how to remove it, but in unity I cant
[20:32] <SaberX01> Beldar, he jsut said wireless, chrome whatever, I've never seen the keyring for chrome, so have no idea what tha's about.
[20:33] <bekks> alket: andwahts the content of the message boxes you cancel?
[20:33] <Beldar> SaberX01, exactly
[20:33] <alket> SaberX01: do you know how to disable/remove it
[20:33] <SaberX01> alket, how to remove the keyring, yes, but I dont talk about security work-around's here in the channel
[20:34] <SaberX01> Nor in PM's
[20:34] <alket> SaberX01: what the name of application, because when I type in dashboard it only show "Password and Keys"
[20:34] <bekks> alket: you better fix the cause of the messages.
[20:35] <SaberX01> what he said ^^  ^^
[20:36] <alket> bekks: how to fix the cause at the login, just as I login it shows as crazy, moments before I just opened filezilla and I thought its not going to end
[20:36] <bekks> alket: and whats the content of the message boxes you cancel?
[20:37] <alket> bekks: Don't remember, Im going to restart the computer and read it and post it here. Thank you very much to all
[20:37] <bekks> alket: without the exact error no one in here can help you.
[20:37] <bekks> -.-
[20:38] <SaberX01> :-) that's kinda like "my car is making a noise" ..
[20:42] <alket_> bekks: Couldn't write it in gedit but it said that I didn't provide the password to keyring on the login
[20:44] <alket_> I just opened chrome and it asked again
[20:45] <LvMises> Hey all
[20:46] <LvMises> Does anyone using Ubuntu know if VLC can be used to steam a digital microscope feed?

[20:48] <Error404NotFound> Is there a way i can break a user's crontab into multiple files? something similar to /etc/cron.d but for specific users in their homedir e.g. ~/.crons
[20:49] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: you'd have to do an "include" in their contab
[20:49] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: hmm, let me google it.
[20:49] <Beldar> alket_, Did you add the unity desktop to this install IE was it a kubuntu install or any of the other desktops originally?
[20:50] <alket_> Beldar: no , it is fresh install
[20:50] <Beldar> alket_, problem with that image is you include no context.
[20:51] <alket_> Beldar: I dont understand what do you mean by context
[20:52] <Beldar> alket_, Have you done any tweaks as of now to remove this problem? context means why and when are you seeing that login popup
[20:53] <Beldar> alket_, I have the feeling you have been tweaking and left this info out.
[20:54] <alket_> Beldar: just beside some ppa like smuxi, sublime-text. I also installed gdebi and synaptics
[20:54] <jgcampbell300> would it be ok to ask about libreoffice questions here ?
[20:55] <jgcampbell300> can anyone help me find what i am looking for ... i dont know what it is called so im having a hard time finding it... I have a column that has alot of computer names like dell hp etc ... i am trying to find a way to make a list out to the side that  makes me a list of them all ... like in c3:c1000 there is dell so it puts it in a list out in say j1 then there is hp in there 20 times so it puts hp under dell in j2 and so
[20:55] <Beldar> alket_, Not sure really out of my general knowledge area, I have not seen that popup before.
[20:55] <alket_> Beldar: ok thank you very much
[20:55] <jgcampbell300> im just trying to figure out what to search for if anyone has any idea
[20:56] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, libreoffice running in ubuntu yes.
[20:56] <jgcampbell300> Beldar, cool ... any idea what i can google to get me closer to my goal ?
[20:57] <NJPeace>  /server irc.purplesurge.com -j #spp-wifi
[20:57] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, I don't understand the question and even if I did I'm not sure I could help is all.
[20:57] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: turns out i asked the exact same question 3 years ago and you answered it and then i asked it on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/64109/including-application-crons
[20:58] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: to summarize, i don't see any option similar to "include /home/username/crons"
[20:59] <donvito> can anyone tell me when will be the next lts release date?
[20:59] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: is there a reason you think that will not work ?
[20:59] <ikonia> donvito: 14.04
[21:00] <donvito> that is in april 2014 right
[21:00] <ikonia> donvito: correct
[21:00] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: that include line as is? may be because i came up with that on my own and couldn't find it in documentation, not in man pages of cron, crontab.
[21:00] <donvito> thanks
[21:00] <ikonia> Error404NotFound: look at how the cron.d is included and use that as a reference
[21:00] <Error404NotFound> ikonia: oh ya, thanks :)

[21:11] <blind> hey guys. are there any terminal emulators with "quick command" buttons
[21:16] <SaberX01> blind, I think xshell4 has them.
[21:16] <stefano> ma
[21:17] <blind> oh, i didn't realize xshell was linux compatible.
[21:17] <SaberX01> blind, I don't know, just remember it had button :-)
[21:26] <jhansonxi> jgcampbell300: http://goo.gl/qXfpuV
[21:30] <donvito> were to find file that start up some proceses on ubuntu ?
[21:32] <SaberX01> donvito, whar process?
[21:32] <SaberX01> *what
[21:32] <donvito> example i have setup noip2.conf to startup when ubuntu bootes
[21:33] <donvito> but i dont remember where do i setup that line
[21:33] <donvito> oh
[21:33] <donvito> its on rc.local
[21:34] <SaberX01> donvito, I dont know what noip2 is, but /etc/init.d  or /usr/lib/upstart
[21:35] <donvito> it was on rc.local
[21:36] <SaberX01> still dont know what noip2 is :-)
[21:37] <donvito> noip2 is a client for no-ip.org
[21:37] <donvito> like dyndns updater
[21:38] <SaberX01> donvito, Found the info: This package provides the No-IP.com Dynamic DNS update client
[21:38] <donvito> yep
[21:38] <donvito> :)
[21:38] <SaberX01> donvito, why is it in rc.local .. I would think init.d or upstart
[21:41] <donvito> because there it just works
[21:41] <donvito> :)
[21:41] <demon^eye> hi
[21:41] <demon^eye> i need little help
[21:42] <Beldar> demon^eye, Tell the channel the problem for help.
[21:42] <Apollo> test
[21:43] <SaberX01> Test == Sate
[21:43] <Rory> Apollo: We see you
[21:43] <demon^eye> i install Ubuntu and all fine... after that i add my OLD sata hd and at boot ... ubuntu says /tmp is missing... and the my "old" hd wont show in Ubuntu
[21:44] <Rory> demon^eye: Can you boot into Ubuntu currently?
[21:44] <demon^eye> yes
[21:44] <demon^eye> but i cant see the HD
[21:44] <Beldar> demon^eye, Make sure the boot is on the new ubuntu hd in the bios.
[21:44] <demon^eye> first boot all went fine ( /tmp erroe was shown) after sec restart happen what i told ya , no "old " hd in ubuntu
[21:45] <Beldar> demon^eye, Did you change the HD type in the bios from sata to another?
[21:45] <demon^eye> the Hd i add is ok in bios...i just do sec restart and Gubru menu popup
[21:46] <demon^eye> i didnt touch the bios , sec restart doest list my hd after booting ih the OS
[21:46] <demon^eye> in the first it did (/tmp msg)
[21:47] <demon^eye> i think it coz installing new hd (my old  one) the drivers letters moved and Ubuntu doest find the swap partion in its old location
[21:47] <Beldar> demon^eye, Are you sure your booting the new ubuntu, was the first HD failing?
[21:48] <Beldar> demon^eye, If you run sudo fdisk -l in the new ubuntu does the old HD show?
[21:49] <demon^eye> ti install it like i said on one partition (1 hd ) after installing and configure i add a sec hd (2 hd sata) and the /tmp error popup at boot
[21:49] <demon^eye> but OS loaded
[21:49] <demon^eye> sec restart my 2 hd wont show anymore IN UNBUNTU only...
[21:49] <drpoo> hi all, im running 13.10 64-bit. I am trying to connect to a bluetooth headset but the bluetooth app is greyed out. Here is the output of dmesg | grep Blue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6631276/ any suggestions?!
[21:50] <Beldar> demon^eye, Hard to make sense of that can you answer the questions?
[21:51] <demon^eye> i didnt mess with it no more ... didnt do fdisk... coz my old HD is win8 ... dont wont the screw it
[21:52] <demon^eye> beldar : adding new hd after installing ubuntu should coz problems ?
[21:52] <Beldar> demon^eye, Ah W8, probably a uefi, removing it to install ubuntu probably made the new ubuntu not a efi install is amy buess.
[21:52] <Beldar> guess
[21:52] <LINUXED> how to edit the main menu of ubuntu 13.10 startup? grub.lst doesn't exist
[21:53] <dluzius> tks Beldar,  :)
[21:53] <LINUXED> I want to remove the mem test entry
[21:53] <Beldar> LINUXED, memtest is on the live
[21:53] <Beldar> LINUXED, oops ana d the install hold on,
[21:53] <demon^eye> beldar : maybe , i am new to that stuff... and dont want to kill my old win8 disk :)
[21:53] <LINUXED> it appears on my installation too
[21:53] <drpoo> hi all, im running 13.10 64-bit. I am trying to connect to a bluetooth headset but the bluetooth app is greyed out. Here is the output of dmesg | grep Blue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6631276/ any suggestions?!
[21:54] <LINUXED> so where those entries should edit from?
[21:54] <Beldar> LINUXED, sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+  will remove mem
[21:54] <Beldar> !uefi | demon^eye take a look here see if any is notable
[21:55] <LINUXED> Beldar: what if there are other entries I want to remove?
[21:55] <Beldar> LINUXED, Like?
[21:56] <LINUXED> I stated that I wanna know where to edit the menu from?
[21:56] <Beldar> LINUXED, Personally I want to save you from making a mistake, so I ask like what?
[21:57] <Beldar> can;t imagine what else is safely removed for easy access is all
[21:57] <LINUXED> Beldar: I'm not worried from erasing the entire thing to learn how to do it
[21:57] <Beldar> me to
[21:57] <LINUXED> just tell me what is the alternative to grub.lsrt
[21:57] <LINUXED> lst
[21:58] <Beldar> LINUXED, No, hehe
[21:58] <LINUXED> or don't :)
[21:59] <Beldar> LINUXED, https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
[21:59] <aurauxis_> Hey, can anyone help me with installing a game?
[22:00] <aurauxis_> I want to install Uplink
[22:00] <LINUXED> ok, now you've the right to remain silent Beldar
[22:00] <aurauxis_> When I execute uplink.sh, I get the following error
[22:00] <Beldar> LINUXED, I gave you the full manual
[22:00] <aurauxis_> E: Unable to locate package lib32-freeglut
[22:01] <profligacy> I know this is off-topic, but Merry X-mas everyone!
[22:01] <LINUXED> Beldar: and I gave you a full advice
[22:01] <Beldar> LINUXED,You seem a little hard headed and demanding this does not work for me is all.
[22:01] <profligacy> Beldar: Let's be civil. It's Jesus' birthday.
[22:02] <profligacy> He died for your sins.
[22:02] <Beldar> !040 | profligacy
[22:02] <LINUXED> Beldar: w/e
[22:02] <jjavaholic> what does the ""User folders update" do?
[22:02] <Beldar> profligacy, Maybe 1/3 of the world is christain this is a worldwide channel.
[22:02] <profligacy> so
[22:02] <profligacy> I'm not Christian either.
[22:03] <profligacy> I'm certainly not "christain" ha.
[22:03] <Gnea> profligacy: #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:03] <daftykins> show some courtesy or leave.
[22:03] <profligacy> What is nthe newest Ubuntu?
[22:03] <profligacy> Can I boot it off USB?
[22:03] <Gnea> !usb | profligacy
[22:04] <profligacy> Is Ubuntu 100% free?
[22:04] <Gnea> !13.10 | profligacy
[22:04] <Gnea> !free | profligacy
[22:04] <profligacy> Is Ubuntu easy to install? Does the installation allow me to create partitions?
[22:05] <jjavaholic> what does "User folders update" do as found in the the startup apps list
[22:05] <Gnea> profligacy: yes, it's all GUI-driven step-by-step
[22:05] <profligacy> Is there anything I show know before partitioning my hard drive?
[22:05] <profligacy> *should know
[22:06] <aurauxis_> So, any ideas?
[22:06] <profligacy> How do I know what's ideal, in terms of partitioning?
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: you should know how to backup your data, if there's anything you don't want to get deleted on your hard drive, and then actually back it up before performing the installation
[22:06] <profligacy> But how do I partition?
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: best way to do it is to just let it decide for you, then just use it
[22:06] <profligacy> How much space do I allocate?
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: it will guide you through it
[22:06] <profligacy> Oh.
[22:06] <Gnea> profligacy: however much you need.
[22:06] <profligacy> Ok, thanks Gnea
[22:07] <Gnea> np
[22:07] <jjavaholic> just take your time to read step by step guides and you should be fine
[22:07] <Gnea> profligacy: you can always re-install it later and have it re-partition if you're not happy with the default setup
[22:07] <Gnea> profligacy: it doesn't require a license key to use ;-)
[22:08] <profligacy> Awesome
[22:08] <Gnea> Very much so
[22:10] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: that takes care of providing the regular directories like ~/Downloads, ~/Music etc. in the user's locale, check ~/.config/user-dirs.locale (and the corresponding ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs) .. it's part of the xdg desktop integration tools
[22:10] <bel3atar> what file gets generated when I do ./configure?
[22:10] <Gnea> bel3atar: usually the Makefiles
[22:12] <jjavaholic> I hate those default folders
[22:13] <Amandeep> hello
[22:14] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: you can edit their names and/or remove them, i don't think anything stops you from doing so, but don't run the 'Users folder updates' in that case i'd say
[22:16] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: take a look inside ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, it explains a few things
[22:16] <gimmil> anyone care to show me how to preseed ubuntu server properly? Can't figure it out for the life of me.
[22:16] <gimmil> nor find a proper tut
[22:17] <comradetwiggy> quit
[22:17] <jjavaholic> maybe i'm reading it wrong but it doesn't explain the xxx_dir part
[22:18] <jjavaholic> is it a case that these are use identifiers and don't actually matter what they are called except the prefix?
[22:21] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: as i see it (could be fuzzy considering the holidays) the XDG_xxx_DIR entrees are constants, you can assign any location you want to those, i.e. i've set my PUBLICSHARE one to non-existing by attributing it ""
[22:22] <glitsj16> not sure if that made much sense :)
[22:22] <jjavaholic> how did you do that?
[22:23] <jjavaholic> the "i've set my PUBLICSHARE one to non-existing by attributing it" bit
[22:24] <DJRWolf> I just updated my 12.04 with Cinnamon UI and now when I boot it goes strait to prompt, how do I get it back to boot to GUI?
[22:24] <glitsj16> just edited the entree to "" .. and i reassigned the MUSIC one to $HOME/noise instead of "Music" .. cause i have audio in there that's hardly considered musical
[22:27] <jjavaholic> I don't think I could stand having a folder named noise in my home folder.
[22:27] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: same deal with TEMPLATES, i've set it to XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/.templates" to keep it but hide it from view
[22:27] <Cooperz> How do you open control panel in windows 7
[22:27] <glitsj16> jjavaholic: lol, just an example, no need to use that
[22:29] <JohnnyL> One one of m machines firefox dies if i 'apt-get install firefox' after do-release-upgrade.
[22:29] <JohnnyL> but if I download it from ftp as _64 it runs fine.
[22:30] <Beldar> JohnnyL, did you remove firefox?
[22:30] <JohnnyL> yes
[22:30] <JohnnyL> apt-get remove firefox
[22:30] <JohnnyL> , tried that a few times.
[22:30] <Beldar> JohnnyL, why, and that leaves the ff files there.
[22:30] <JohnnyL> oh?
[22:31] <gimmil> does anyone have a comprehensive ubuntu 12 server preseeding tutorial other than the documentation, that I could look at. I do not understand the way they explain it on there.
[22:31] <Cooperz> apt-get is not working on Windows 7
[22:31] <Beldar> JohnnyL, You would have run a purge to remove them
[22:31] <JohnnyL> ah ok
[22:31] <Beldar> Cooperz, apt-get in W7?
[22:31] <gimmil> LOL
[22:31] <kostkon> Cooperz, ??
[22:31] <gimmil> sorry What windows 7 does not support apt-get
[22:32] <Cooperz> Yes.  Why it doesn't work
[22:32] <gimmil> it is a linux only repository program
[22:32] <kostkon> Cooperz, what do you mean it doesn't work
[22:32] <harris1> Why does the nexus 7 still have 2 red boxs on ubuntu touch
[22:32] <Beldar> !touch | harris1
[22:32] <JohnnyL> Beldar: do you think that'll do it?
[22:33] <Beldar> JohnnyL, I would run purge then make sure the .mozilla file is gone and anything in .config
[22:33] <harris1> Beldar no one is un that channel or at least talking
[22:33] <Cooperz> I type apt-get install ubuntu and I get an error
[22:34] <gimmil> JohnnyL apt-get is short for aptitute. Reference: http://wiki.vpslink.com/Linux_Command_Reference:_aptitude_(Debian,_Ubuntu) for more info
[22:34] <Beldar> harris1, That is the only channel that address it.
[22:34] <DJRWolf> I just updated my 12.04 with Cinnamon UI and now when I boot it goes strait to prompt, how do I get it back to boot to GUI??
[22:34] <harris1> Can anyone here help with ubuntu touch
[22:35] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not sure cinnamon has a 12.04 install, how did hou do it?
[22:35] <glitsj16> Cooperz: where do you type that exactly?
[22:35] <Beldar> you*
[22:35] <Beldar> harris1, You would want the touch helpers right?
[22:35] <harris1> Yea?
[22:35] <DJRWolf> Beldar I added it to Ubuntu since I liked it more then Unity or LXDE
[22:36] <Cooperz> Start Run CMD opens a command line.  I type it there
[22:36] <kostkon> harris1, you mean in the spreadsheet?
[22:36] <harris1> Yes
[22:36] <Beldar> harris1, This is not the touch channel, you have to have some patience on that channel like all of them, it is a night before a holiday.
[22:36] <kostkon> harris1, it explains why
[22:36] <DJRWolf> is there a command I can use to manually get the gui back long enough to fix the problem?
[22:36] <harris1> Its says due to hw errors what is thatl
[22:37] <Beldar> DJRWolf, HOw did you add it?
[22:37] <JohnnyL> Beldar what is .config? is that a subdir of .mozilla?
[22:37] <glitsj16> Cooperz: funny .. why would a linux command do anything but error in windows7 ?
[22:37] <kostkon> harris1, "Camera is kinda working on n7 but not saving images it takes"
[22:37] <Beldar> JohnnyL, hit crtl-h for hidden files in home
[22:37] <JohnnyL> beldar right, but what is it for?
[22:38] <dluzius> how to close smuxi
[22:38] <Beldar> JohnnyL, configs of apps, how you have them set up.
[22:38] <Cooperz> Glitsj16 that's not helpful
[22:38] <JohnnyL> right
[22:39] <DJRWolf> Beldar http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-cinnamon-on-ubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04/
[22:40] <Cooperz> I rebooted and everything.  Still doesn't work.
[22:40] <Cooperz> Should I reload the os
[22:40] <glitsj16> Cooperz: do you dual boot between windows 7 and ubuntu?
[22:41] <Cooperz> No.  I'm trying install Ubuntu
[22:41] <Cooperz> Should I reload Windows
[22:41] <harris1> Beldar and kostkon thanks somone is helping me in the other channel merry Christmas
[22:42] <[[thufir]]> I'm in Canada where we don't have Amazon mp3's, or Google mp3s...only iTunes.  So, I wanted to get a friend some music.  any ideas?
[22:42] <Gnea> Cooperz: let's get down to it, you're really confusing some people. How many OS's do you intend to run on your computer?
[22:42] <glitsj16> Cooperz: no need to reload Windows no .. do you have a ubuntu .iso file on dvd or usb?
[22:42] <Cooperz> I swear to god....ill reformat the harddrive right now.
[22:42] <kostkon> harris1, :) merry xmas
[22:42] <Beldar> DJRWolf, I suspect the cinnamon for 12.04 is problematic it is in the 13.04 repos but is a problem on the 13.10 installs. If you have a autologin setup you need to get to the login to get to whatever desktop does work to tweak the cinnamon if its possible.
[22:42] <Cooperz> I'm kidding guys
[22:43] <Beldar> Cooperz, your trolling
[22:43] <Cooperz> Just trying to put a few smiles on some faeces
[22:43] <glitsj16> succes
[22:43] <[[thufir]]> Cooperz: I'm coming in late to this, but why not just try wubi first?
[22:43] <Gnea> Cooperz: there'll be a smile on my face when you've successfully answered my question.
[22:44] <Gnea> good. ;-)
[22:47] <Beldar> [[thufir]], Not really a ubuntu question and possibly polling, however amazon and 1000's of websites offer downloads of albums and single songs.
[22:48] <Beldar> use a US amazon link
[22:51] <nbb> Guys, I'm thinking about Ubuntu Server (13.10) for my home server. It's really nice amount of software and it's fresh. But I really like systemd and I think that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd is extreamly outdated. What's current support for systemd in ubuntu? Is it a little stable and usable?
[22:53] <bekks> nbb: systemd is used in 14.04 - for a server, I'd always stick with 12.04 until 14.04 is being released.
[22:53] <Beldar> Cooperz shows us that fruitcakes are still around on the holidays. ;)
[22:54] <DJRWolf> Beldar is not auto login and also does not get to login
[22:55] <lwizardl> I have encountered a problem. My USB drive is NTFS formated I told windows to safely remove drive F (USB) and now windows says its corrupted and linux wont boot it. How can i force the drive to mount so I can atleast copy off the data then reformat
[22:55] <lwizardl> http://pastebin.com/hUScLmxg
[22:55] <DJRWolf> Beldar it goes strait to command prompt, no login screen or gui startup splash at all
[22:55] <Beldar> DJRWolf, What was the original install? Did you remove that desktop, and do you have graphic drivers installed if needed?
[22:56] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Was there a working desktop at some point, details are the search at this point.
[22:58] <DJRWolf> Beldar I did not remove unity, that is what came stock with it; it has been working for a couple of years now, it just stoped after I did the update a couple of days ago (been busy)
[22:58] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Do you have proprietary graphics installed?
[22:59] <DJRWolf> Beldar nVidia (GTS 450)
[22:59] <Beldar> DJRWolf, from nividia, or the repos?
[23:00] <Beldar> DJRWolf, may be a simple as a graphic driver problem, are you familiar with using nomodeset to boot?
[23:00] <daftykins> lwizardl: you might want to use Windows to fix it
[23:00] <DJRWolf> Beldar I did the one from "Restricted drivers"
[23:01] <lwizardl> daftykins: tried that it just wants to format it
[23:01] <Beldar> !nomodeset | DJRWolf I would try this and a text boot id needed
[23:01] <Beldar> if*
[23:01] <DJRWolf> Beldar still in the shalow "gui" end of the Linux pool
[23:02] <daftykins> lwizardl: if that paste of yours includes the ntfsfix output, it looks like you're out of luck
[23:02] <Beldar> DJRWolf, I have always had intel so never a graphic problem here.
[23:02] <JohnnyL> wow that didn't help at all.
[23:02] <lwizardl> daftykins: it is what pops up when the drive gets detected
[23:03] <pac1>  /simgear-osgearth/simgear/scene/util/OsgEarthLoadKML.hxx:30:28: fatal error: osgEarth/MapNode: No such file or directory  #include <osgEarth/MapNode>
[23:03] <pac1> Anyone seen this?
[23:03] <nbb> bekks:12.04's software looks really old. It's long time to 14.04, but I'm excited about this LTS. Is there any official information about systemd in ubuntu server 14.04 online? I was google for it, but no results.
[23:03] <daftykins> lwizardl: look into ntfsfix then
[23:04] <kostkon> nbb, long time? only ~4 months
[23:04] <Beldar> JohnnyL, Not really sure of your problem, and trying to understand why you removed FF to begin with.
[23:04] <kostkon> nbb, 4.5-5*
[23:05] <bekks> nbb: 12.04, which is an LTS release, receives security and bug fixed until 2017. 13.10 will be supported until June 2014. Go figure :)
[23:05] <Beldar> JohnnyL, Did you add a firefox PPA?
[23:06] <fatjon> hi. how can i control on ubuntu 13.10 if somebody  is usin an  spy softur on my pc?
[23:06] <Beldar> fatjon, Can you make more sense and be specific.
[23:06] <esn> fatjon: You could monitor the network trafic
[23:07] <esn> Tunnel your trafic through another box and watch what happens
[23:07] <fatjon> i want to control if i have a malwere on my ubuntu 13.10
[23:07] <fatjon> esn. how?
[23:08] <JohnnyL> Beldar nope.
[23:08] <Beldar> fatjon, highly unlikley you do, no real malware for linux, it is rootkits you watch for
[23:08] <JohnnyL> I removd FF to begin with because after do-release-upgrade it crashed /crashes evertime i start it.
[23:08] <nbb> kostkon: After server reinstallation, it will work a few years. And I need to do it in a few weeks.
[23:08] <kostkon> nbb, alright then
[23:08] <JohnnyL> ftp version works. but i like having the icon on the side with the other apps.
[23:10] <DJRWolf> Beldar I just tried "recovery mode" boot and it got to the menu, when I selected the "failsafex" it just looped back to the menu
[23:10] <vanina> hhhhhhh
[23:10] <esn> fatjon: First of you could install Wireshark on the "infected" machine. I imagine that could work
[23:10] <nbb> bekks: I know, it's hard for a stable distro with fresh software in repos and long support. And Upstart is next thing to learn. Thanks for help and some advice, thank kostkon too.
[23:11] <Beldar> JohnnyL, There is a #firefox channel you might try there, if you have changed your web access like a proxy...etc this is important info.
[23:11] <fatjon> esn. ok. look now for wireshark
[23:12] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Hmm, not sure if it was me since I clone all my installs I would fsck it
[23:12] <DJRWolf> Beldar ok, will do and report findings
[23:13] <Beldar> fatjon, What makes you think you have a problem at all?
[23:14] <Beldar> esn, You have not confirmed if the user has any problem, and yet advise as though they have.
[23:16] <fatjon> defore use ubuntu i use win7 and somebody install to my compiuter 4 malwere. i i find thet usind a anti malwere softuer
[23:16] <Sparkie> what do these cmmands do: chmod a+w tmp and chmod a+w data
[23:16] <fatjon> i now i have feaver thet can hapen aganin
[23:16] <esn> Beldar: I presume he wants to investigate. Why he wants to is not of my business
[23:17] <Beldar> esn, it is your responsibility to give relevant help, not just anything asked for.
[23:18] <Beldar> fatjon, Your description is to vague, and just hard to follow can you be exacting with your posts.
[23:18] <esn> I'll take that in mind next time Beldar :)
[23:18] <Beldar> esn, cool, no biggie, I just suspect this user is a bit lost is all and not familiar with linux. ;)
[23:20] <esn> Oooooohhh.. Beldar I thought he had a spy on windows and wanted to investogate with Ubuntu xD
[23:21] <Beldar> fatjon, Although any operating system can be compromised, to do it in linux is not very easy if used carefully, this is not much different in any other OS really, linux in general just has more safeguards on install.
[23:22] <fatjon> beldar. ok
[23:25] <RocketPenguin123> How would i copy a partition from a 30gb hdd to a 260 gb hdd, but keep it the same size?
[23:26] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, same computer?
[23:26] <glitsj16> Sparkie: chmod translates to 'all users' (a) will be granted 'write access' (+w) to tmp and data files or directories .. usually the command refers to files or directories with full path, like /tmp so in this case it would only have effect on something beneath the folder hierarchy from where the command is given
[23:27] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar, Its a laptop, so one hdd per use. I have a dock, and it is hooked up with the donor drive. my laptop has the drive it needs to be copied onto.
[23:28] <thoraxe> first time looking at ubuntu.  EL-based OS have x86 and x86_64 but the ubuntu downloads has i386 and amd64.  do i want amd64 for 64-bit on intel (non-amd)?
[23:28] <michagogo|cloud> thoraxe: yes
[23:28] <iceroot> thoraxe: amd64 = 64bit for intel and amd
[23:28] <compdoc> thoraxe, yes
[23:28] <Aqua_Reef> Beldar: Have you tried resizing the partition to the size it would be on the other drive. Then do a bit for bit copy?
[23:28] <thoraxe> k tx
[23:28] <compdoc> I thought it first
[23:29] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, gparted can copy and paste make a same size partition on the new HD that size, youn will just nee to load the grub menu to the mbr if a msdos setup.
[23:29] <RocketPenguin123> I remember there being a command that would simply copy one partition from one drive to another
[23:29] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar,  ...Load wha?
[23:29] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, You could dd, but that is not what I would do.
[23:29] <Aqua_Reef> RocketPenguin123: Maybe that's dd? I'd recommend resizing the partition though.
[23:30] <RocketPenguin123> And how do you copy the partition in gparted? I dont see that option
[23:30] <Hydr0p0nX> having trouble getting audio out through my hdmi port working on ubuntu 12.04.3
[23:30] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, grub
[23:30] <RocketPenguin123> oh, found it
[23:30] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, Has to be unmounted to copy not while using it.
[23:31] <RocketPenguin123> It doesnt allow me to paste...
[23:32] <Aqua_Reef> RocketPenguin123: Slave the drive, find where it's mapped to, then copy the partition over.
[23:32] <colbyo> I'm attempting to boot into Single user mode, 'Linux single debug', but the debugging output is hanging at "firewire_core". Any reasons why it would do that? Or how I could pass it?
[23:32] <Hydr0p0nX> it's an older nvidia, MCP78S, udev identifies the audio driver as "MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio"
[23:32] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar,  Do i have to paste it onto a partition, or can i paste it in unlocated space?
[23:32] <colbyo> *The output of the boot debug is stuck at "firewire_core", cursor is blinking.
[23:33] <shanahan> how do put the ubuntu font in the style of a div?
[23:33] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar,  Nevermind, got it
[23:35] <Beldar> RocketPenguin123, cool
[23:36] <RocketPenguin123> Beldar, So once this copies, how do i make it bootable?
[23:37] <redlance> Is there a way to automatically run an old dos program under dosemu when someone telnets or ssh's into a certain port?
[23:38] <DJRWolf> Beldar did that and the package repair, still boots to command prompt login
[23:39] <Aqua_Reef> redlance: remote into where to where, and emulate a dos program where?
[23:40] <redlance> Aqua_Reef, I want to host an old bbs door game, which runs under dos.  I have tested it under dosemu and it seems to work.  I want to set it up so if someone from the internet telent's or ssh's into my box, on a certain port number, they will go straight into the game.
[23:42] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not really sure, have you tried logging in there and running startx
[23:43] <DJRWolf> Beldar did not know that command to start x
[23:43] <ewook> startx?
[23:43] <ewook> oh. it wasn't a question. :p.
[23:44] <Guest12601> can anyone help me with a stuck wireless hardware switch?
[23:44] <Aqua_Reef> redlance: Not to sure about telnet, but SSH have you looked at modifying your .zlogin or .bash_profile to run the emulation at login.
[23:45] <glick> hi, how come when i set up the side panel to auto hide
[23:45] <redlance> Aqua_Reef, Hmmm, no I haven't, I'll look into it, thanks.
[23:45] <glick> when i move my mouse to the left side of the screen or the top corner, it doesnt show
[23:45] <glick> ?
[23:46] <Aqua_Reef> redlance: No problem, that should be a good start and is fairly well documented.
[23:46] <redlance> Aqua_Reef, Ok, thank again
[23:46] <DJRWolf> Beldar "Fatal Server Error: No Screen Found"
[23:47] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not sure really, maybe others might know.
[23:47] <JohnnyL> beldar: nope it was working fine before the do-release-upgrade.
[23:47] <ewook> Guest12601: stuck hardware-switch? Uhm, a philips-head screw driver? :)
[23:47] <DJRWolf> Beldar "NVIDIA: API Missmatch"
[23:47] <glick> why doesnt auto-hide launcher feature work?
[23:48] <Guest12601> my laptop had dual boot with windows
[23:48] <[[thufir]]> Beldar: no, they don't.  amazon will not allow downloads to canada.   (sorry for delay)
[23:48] <Aqua_Reef> Guest12601: I don't think there's a software fix for this, maybe looking at purchasing a new base for laptop? May get it for free if your laptop is under warranty =)
[23:48] <[[thufir]]> there just aren't many legal ways of getting mp3s in canada.  jsut wondering there were any canadians here using something instead of itunes.  anyhow.
[23:53] <cesurasean> hey hey guys. what is the amazon aws root login username for ubuntu 13?
[23:54] <DJRWolf> Beldar what about the nVidia API missmatch?
[23:54] <Beldar> DJRWolf, Not really an area I'm up on is all.
[23:54] <cesurasean> i tried ubuntu, root, ec2-user, and none of those usernames work for the amazon AMI image to login with.
[23:55] <cesurasean> can someone help me to get logged into my system?
[23:55] <DJRWolf> Beldar it looks like the problem is parts of the video drivers are missmatched and need to be reinstalled, how do I do that from the command prompt?
[23:55] <Beldar> DJRWolf, No idea
