[00:03] <oldude67> what is the easiest way to get rid of old kernels.
[00:03] <maum> well i converted into debian then installed that although it warned its 'bad quality' then the printer still doesnt work
[00:03] <wilee-nilee> oldude67, I use ubuntu-tweak, but you can do it from the terminal.
[00:03] <k1l> oldude67: remove the old kernel packages (and the headers) with apt-get
[00:04] <agora> maum did you install cnijfilter-common too?
[00:04] <k1l> ubuntu-tweak :/
[00:04] <agora> maum i gtg but ask around others can help
[00:06] <funky> whats the diff  between host name and FQDN host name?
[00:06] <funky> can i use xyz  as host name and host.xyz.com as FQDN host name?

[00:15] <lj1102> Hello, I've a problem with my internet connection, more specific my dns resolving. On bootup everything is fine but after a few hours or so more and more hosts become unreachable/unresolvable/time out. Pinging them is still possible but i cannot browse them anymore :/ Anybody can help me on that?
[00:16] <lj1102> When i'm using a virtual machine i can reach these hosts
[00:18] <Blackout_> \join #salvador
[00:19] <lj1102> Blackout_: talkin 2 me, or just a mistype ?
[00:19] <guidemario_> hi there ... I'd like to know if it's possible to write some commands on a text file and save it in a kind of extension (like .BAT for windows) to run the commands when I click on this file.
[00:19] <wilee-nilee> !binbash
[00:19] <lj1102> guidemario_: .sh is the extension
[00:19] <histo> guidemario_: like a bash script?
[00:20] <guidemario_> just write the files and save it as .SH file? (sorry, I'm kind new to linux)
[00:20] <histo> guidemario_: the extension doesn't matter in linux typically
[00:20] <Blackout_> lj1102 mistyping... i dont know what im doing
[00:20] <histo> guidemario_: but for uniformity name it somefile.sh and chmod +x it
[00:20] <histo> !cli | guidemario_
[00:21] <guidemario_> histo, what means "chmod +x" it?
[00:21] <lj1102> making it executable
[00:21] <guidemario_> chmod +x <filename.sh> ?
[00:21] <lj1102> yes
[00:21] <guidemario_> ok, I'll try
[00:21] <lj1102> adding the "executable" flag to it
[00:21] <histo> guidemario_: you have to make the file executable
[00:21] <guidemario_> thanks in advance for the help
[00:22] <lj1102> anybody knows how i can reset/flush my local dns cache
[00:22] <histo> guidemario_: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
[00:22] <guidemario_> thanks histo!
[00:23] <lj1102> So i'm damned to reboot my machine every few hours :'/
[00:25] <wilee-nilee> lj1102, If you have modifies your access, post tha process, details are really helpful, for the channel.
[00:25] <wilee-nilee> the*
[00:26] <lj1102> i'm root, i dont know what is handling the dns stuff on a default ubuntu installation, so i dont have any process to name.
[00:27] <maum> hi
[00:27] <maum> how do i know if i have amd or something else?
[00:27] <wilee-nilee> lj1102, Cool, many come on with modified, like proxies...etc and you have to ask is all.
[00:27] <lj1102> wile-nilee: I've already changed something in a config file not quite sure which one it was(had no effect), i'll have a look if i can find it
[00:28] <wilee-nilee> lj1102, Cool, I'm not your best help though in this area. ;)
[00:29] <lj1102> wilee-nilee: aw, i've already asked for help here a few days ago but nobody could help me there, only info i got was that dnsmasq is not used anymore for that.
[00:29] <maum> hello, my printer driver is installed but when i click 'print test page it says 'printing' then completed, but nothing ever really moves on the actual printer!
[00:29] <lj1102> wilee-nilee: also the articles I've read on flushin the cache wanted me to install custom daemons for dns handling which i'm not really a fan of...
[00:30] <lj1102> maum: to get information about your processor type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" into a terminal
[00:31] <lj1102> maum: under model name you'll find the name of your processor
[00:32] <maum> Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B830 @ 1.80GHz
[00:32] <maum> does this correspond to 64 bit or 32 bit?
[00:33] <maum> its not an AMD right?:) sorry if i sound a bit idiotic but im not sure
[00:34] <lj1102> maum: no its no amd ;)
[00:35] <enkot> Hi everyone! When I install ubuntu (any version) the system create some users. I want know what do every user for erase or not (for security). Someone know where I could check this information?
[00:35] <maum> but which bit is it?
[00:36] <lj1102> maum: its a 64bit processor
[00:36] <booh> I installed ubuntu server 12.10 64bits, I have 2 drive with / in RAID1 md0 and /home in RAID1 md1.  Now I have a message at reboot: "error: disk 'mduuid/39485798729487234' not found.  Grub rescue>
[00:36] <maum> ok its an Intel 64, thanks
[00:40] <Guest57207> hi my hard drive is fried
[00:40] <Guest57207> i am running ubuntu off live usb
[00:40] <Guest57207> is this safe?
[00:42] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, a iso load or full install, and what is your definition of safe?
[00:42] <Guest57207> iso
[00:42] <Guest57207> like if i install chromium will it still be there after wake from sleep?
[00:43] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, You have a persistent?
[00:43] <booh> I installed ubuntu server 12.10 64bits, I have 2 drive with / in RAID1 md0 and /home in RAID1 md1.  Now I have a message at reboot: "error: disk 'mduuid/39485798729487234' not found.  Grub rescue>
[00:43] <Guest57207> what is a persistent
[00:43] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, It is a file to save your work, if you shutdown
[00:44] <wilee-nilee> not a file exactly called casper-rw
[00:44] <Guest57207> where can I find this
[00:44] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, Most usb loaders offer that option.
[00:44] <Guest57207> oh i see
[00:45] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, And most limit it to 4 gigs, however if you have a usb with enough gigs you can have a casper-rw partition as big as you need.
[00:46] <Guest57207> mine is 4 gb
[00:46] <Guest57207> I mean 8GB
[00:46] <Guest57207> it is a big one
[00:46] <dougnet> *wave*
[00:46] <psingh_> Is anyone out here running KDE on Ubuntu?
[00:46] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, Ah, you fine then with a regular usb loader, that caper does fill up and can't be cleaned so you can fill up the usb after awhile, and you are limited as to what you can update.
[00:47] <jrib> !anyone | psingh_
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> !anyone > psingh_
[00:47] <psingh_> I just opened a but against Kick Off because the fonts look fuzzy.  The bug report is at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322263.  Would someone please follow the instructions in my bug report and confirm the bug?
[00:47] <wilee-nilee> Guest57207, Ah 8 gigs good I would do A full install if it were me.
[00:47] <dougnet> !details
[00:47] <dougnet> heh
[00:48] <dougnet> I'm glad IRC is not totally dead...
[00:48] <fatum> why does it say printing but the printer is dead?:/
[00:48] <sam___> My /var/lib/dpkg/lock file is having a problem. It won't let me download anything. It says it is being used by another program... but it isn't. Possible Solutions?
[00:48] <wilee-nilee> !ot > dougnet
[00:49] <wilee-nilee> sam___, A reboot is easiest, however any failed installs?
[00:49] <ianorlin> !ot >ianorlin
[00:50] <booh> I installed ubuntu server 12.10 64bits, I have 2 drive with / in RAID1 md0 and /home in RAID1 md1.  Now I have a message at reboot: "error: disk 'mduuid/39485798729487234' not found.  Grub rescue>   If I do set prefix=(md/0)/boot/grub   insmod normal   error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.  But I am in 64bits...
[00:50] <sam___> wilee-nilee, I tried it is every time I log on it is doing this.
[00:50] <wilee-nilee> sam___, two common commands here.  sudo dpkg --configure -a  sudo apt-get -f install
[00:50] <enkot> Hi everyone! When I install ubuntu (any version) the system create some users. I want know what do every user for erase or not (for security). Someone know where I could check this information?
[00:51] <dougnet> I do have an issue with some xls files not allowing me to edit. I suspect the problem is because the Original file was not set-up correctly. Any ideas?
[00:51] <wilee-nilee> sam___, You have a broken package I would guess.
[00:51] <wilee-nilee> enkot, only one user is created you make any more.
[00:52] <enkot> wilee-nilee: when I type: cat /etc/passwd a list of more tha one user, right?
[00:53] <wilee-nilee> enkot, If you have not added users, those are not users in its definition.
[00:54] <enkot> wilee-nilee: I want to know what do every user of this list for erase the unnecessary
[00:54] <sam___> wilee-nilee, It says it is locked by another process. I do have a bigger problem and it is that my updates are using I have just figured out. I am trying to update to 13.04. Becuase it started without my permission a few weeks ago. but... I have efi so it doesn't boot when I turn on with 13.04. Can I tell it to stop?
[00:54] <wilee-nilee> enkot, You have your cart before the horse in your methodology based I think on paranoia.
[00:55] <energizer> Within an application, in a "Choose file" window, I'd like to be able to drag files and folders around, etc. just like you can in regular nautilus. Possible?
[00:55] <wilee-nilee> sam___, Hmm, I can't really help there, I never upgrade distros personally.
[00:56] <enkot> wilee-nilee: but whats happend with the users in /etc/passwd?
[00:56] <wilee-nilee> enkot, And honestly not understanding linux in general, you have hardly any security issues to worry about, unless you put yourself there.
[00:57] <ctcb> I'm wondering how do I get out of sudo and go back to being a normal user without having to close a Terminal Window and using "Ctrl + Alt + T" to open a new one? Is there a command I can use in the Terminal?
[00:58] <enkot> wilee-nilee: I'm learning about thousands of thing to convert ubuntu more secure but just I have the question about this users
[00:58] <wilee-nilee> enkot, I have no users there just apps and processes. We do not know what you have done.
[00:58] <jrib> ctcb: how did you enter sudo?
[00:58] <psingh_> ctcb, type exit
[00:58] <ctcb> jrib, "sudo rm ~/Dev -r -v"
[00:58] <wilee-nilee> enkot, I doubt you will make ubuntu more secure beyond what they provide in wiki's
[00:59] <jrib> ctcb: then you'll get a normal prompt as soon as that command terminates
[00:59] <ctcb> jrib, My name now has a $ Sign next to it in the Terminal Window.
[00:59] <dougnet> Would I be ok to drag my laptop to work on a Cisco router with a USB console cable?
[00:59] <ctcb> I think that means I'm a sudo user.
[00:59] <jrib> ctcb: no, # means root
[01:00] <dougnet> Or must I drag the Windoze laptop to console into the router?
[01:00] <psingh_> ctcbctcb, you should be out of sudo after the command finishes.  Type whoami to see if you are root or not
[01:00] <ctcb> psingh_, whoami brings back "root"
[01:01] <psingh_> try typing exit
[01:01] <wilee-nilee> ctcb, Do not ever post any rm on this channel, if you are posting what you have run make that clear!!!
[01:01] <enkot> wilee-nilee: thank you so much for your help. Yes, I'm reading wiki's about security but I though in this list are users, but your explanation make sense about applications and process
[01:01] <jrib> ctcb: you must have done something else then.  Probably "sudo -i" or something similar possibly involving "su"...?
[01:02] <ctcb> jrib, When I originally made the Dev Folder, I had to do sudo su to allow me to create it.
[01:02] <ctcb> wilee-nilee, Uh... what?
[01:03] <jrib> ctcb: 1) something is broken with your permissions and 2) use "sudo -i" instead of "sudo su" if you need a root prompt
[01:03] <jrib> ctcb: and "exit" as psingh_ suggested will let you leave the root prompt.  Alternatively, you can press ctrl-d
[01:04] <booh> I installed ubuntu server 12.10 64bits, I have 2 drive with / in RAID1 md0 and /home in RAID1 md1.  Now I have a message at reboot: "error: disk 'mduuid/39485798729487234' not found.

[01:04] <MrCollins> I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 when I use unetbootin or the ubuntu recommended from a win64 box to create a usb stick, when it boots from usb stick I get a message SYSLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Copyright message and it just sits there with a blinking cursor
[01:05] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Are you limited to windows to load the usb?
[01:06] <devinceble> MrCollins: use YUMI http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
[01:06] <MrCollins> yes wilee-nilee
[01:06] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Cool, if you get it running with say yumi and get that first gui that unetbootin loves to bypass use the nomodedset option I suggested earlier.
[01:07] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee,  ok man and thank you devinceble
[01:07] <MrCollins> trying now....
[01:07] <a5tr4al> anyone had sucess syncing iphones
[01:07] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Good luck. ;)
[01:07] <a5tr4al> i know they are not supported
[01:08] <a5tr4al> but have heard of work arounds
[01:08] <wilee-nilee> time for store run anyone need anything
[01:08] <a5tr4al> beer and lots
[01:08] <a5tr4al> lol
[01:08] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, pickup some winning lotto tickets ;)
[01:09] <wilee-nilee> lol no problem
[01:09] <JcAdduono> are there any ftpd's that allow r/w root login to /

[01:14] <SonikkuAmerica> !danger | JcAdduono
[01:15] <SonikkuAmerica> !danger | JcAdduono
[01:16] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: ?
[01:16] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: I thought !DANGER worked here. But I think you'd agree accessing / in read/write mode via FTP is a terrible idea, right?
[01:17] <SonikkuAmerica> Point in question: <JcAdduono> are there any ftpd's that allow r/w root login to /
[01:17] <JcAdduono> i'm using it for development on a host-only network
[01:17] <IdleOne> yeah, but the !danger factoid is not meant to be used that way
[01:17]  * SonikkuAmerica needs to review his !command congruency cases. :P
[01:18] <JcAdduono> and if that is dangerous, so is apt-get install openssh-server
[01:19] <jrib> JcAdduono: in light of that, do you really need ftp instead of just using ssh?
[01:19] <JcAdduono> jrib: yes, my host os does not support mounting of sshfs
[01:20] <jrib> JcAdduono: what's your host OS?
[01:20] <JcAdduono> windows 8.1...lol
[01:20] <jrib> JcAdduono: when you say, "host OS", are you implying that you are virtualizing ubuntu through vbox or similar?
[01:21] <JcAdduono> jrib: yes, i have a virutalized copy of my website's server running on this computer through vmware so that i can work on a development copy of my site efficiently
[01:22] <ejv> you can mount sshfs using an app called WebDrive, works pretty well
[01:22] <ejv> (proprietary)
[01:23] <jrib> JcAdduono: at least with vbox, there is a built-in way to share directories.  Is that not possible with vmware?
[01:23] <ejv> JcAdduono: http://www.southrivertechnologies.com/products/webdrive/ (used it in the past, works ok)
[01:24] <JcAdduono> jrib: you can share directories, yes, but with ftp mount would make my life much easier just hitting ctrl+s in my ide and immediately having changes applied to the vm, dir sharing requires you to copy the file to that folder, than do copy command on guest....very time consuming
[01:27] <ejv> there's also samba...
[01:28] <JcAdduono> ejv: samba 3.6.16 doesnt support connections from win8.1 surprisingly...i wonder if that is a bug on microsofts part lol
[01:29] <JcAdduono> that was my original plan haha
[01:31] <JcAdduono> ooo got pure-ftpd to allow root with / as login dir, yay. thanks anyways guys
[01:32] <ejv> well then webdrive is fine for your purposes
[01:32] <ejv> or that, w/e works
[01:32] <JcAdduono> ya i'm not willing to go the proprietary route lol
[01:33] <ejv> it's like 10 bucks, dirt cheap to make your life easier

[02:19] <ruammit> good moning
[02:20] <ConsultingMental> Hello hello, so i'm VERY new to IRC, yet very not new to Linux, can someone answer a quick IRC question for me. I've looked everywhere.
[02:21] <unicorim> ConsultingMental: ill try to help
[02:21] <unicorim> whats up?
[02:22] <ConsultingMental> So I just got my IRC client today, using XChat on Ubuntu 13.04, I tried to go to the "Hak5" channel, via the two servers, "irc.hak5.org" and "irc.mintirc.net" and both say Unknown host, etc..  Am I doing something wrong
[02:22] <ConsultingMental> or are those hosts actually, down or gone. I need to know if it's jus tme
[02:23] <unicorim> ConsultingMental: i tried mintirc
[02:24] <unicorim> but it doesnt seem to work for me either
[02:24] <Noize> where is this now? " /gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-amd64/Packages"
[02:24] <wilee-nilee> ConsultingMental, Try /j #hak5
[02:24] <Noize> i get 404 when i apt-get update
[02:24] <qin_> ConsultingMental: irc.hak5.org works, you do something wrong
[02:25] <qin_> ConsultingMental: ping irc.hak5.org (???)
[02:25] <wilee-nilee> Noize, one two all of them?
[02:25] <Noize> just for the gwibber-daily packages for amd64 and the other matching one
[02:26] <Noize> this one: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages
[02:26] <wilee-nilee> Noize, Sounds like PPa check if they have your release in it.
[02:26] <Noize> both i get 404
[02:26] <Noize> i got 13.04
[02:26] <wilee-nilee> Noize, Check the PPA
[02:26] <ConsultingMental> Thanks, I was hoping it wasn't just me doing something epically wrong.
[02:27] <wilee-nilee> ConsultingMental, Give your self time. ;)
[02:27] <Noize> wilee-nilee, your right
[02:28] <Noize> not for mine
[02:28] <Noize> I also get an sso-login error trying to open software-center without sudo
[02:28] <wilee-nilee> Noize, It happens, what you want may be in debs or tars though some where.
[02:29] <wilee-nilee> Noize, You would never open the software center with sudo.
[02:29] <Noize> well... it doesnt work without sudo...
[02:30] <Noize> hasnt for awhile :o
[02:31] <wilee-nilee> Noize, I suspect it is part of the sources.lis.d errors on the ppa's or sources in general. http://askubuntu.com/questions/295313/ubuntu-software-center-in-ubuntu-13-04-crashes-when-opened

[02:38] <Almindor> I'm not accessing it's contents man :)
[02:38] <Almindor> it's being used as a serial port
[02:38] <wilee-nilee> RaptorJesus, Check the forums link.
[02:38] <usr13> O
[02:38] <Almindor> but I found it out, there's a pre-defined "dialout" group owner for it
[02:38] <Almindor> I'll just add myself to it
[02:38] <wilee-nilee> !enter | Almindor
[02:38] <usr13> Almindor: But you asked, "How can I set it's permissions to be read-writeable by my user?"
[02:39] <RaptorJesus> Thank you!  I'm reading right now....  :D
[02:39] <usr13> Almindor: Oh, it's a modem?
[02:39] <Almindor> usr13: that was my initial question yes, and in general, I'd like to know how to set up udev rules for devices so they can be accessed by anyone needed
[02:39] <wilee-nilee> RaptorJesus, Cool, from my observations on uefi issues I think the forums are the best support.
[02:39] <Almindor> usr13: it's an integrated board controlling a 3d printer
[02:40] <usr13> Almindor: Add to it's group
[02:40] <RaptorJesus> I just hate not having my favorite FOSS operating system on my computer!   *sobs*  Lol.  =)
[02:40] <usr13> Almindor: If it's a USB drive, it will probably be netdev
[02:41] <usr13> Almindor: If it is a printer, use cups configuations.
[02:41] <wilee-nilee> RaptorJesus, I started on open source and use it 99% of the time, however W8 is usable for a few things.

[02:45] <pfister> anyone have any experience running ubu on the 13" retina?
[02:45] <wilee-nilee> !uefi | halpme
[02:45] <wilee-nilee> halpme, Is W8 a uefi or your install in msdos partitioning?
[02:46] <pfister> uefi isn't my issue, I blew past that little 'roadblock'
[02:46] <halpme> I dont think its installed in uefi
[02:46] <wilee-nilee> pfister, The channel is a state your issue norm.
[02:46] <wilee-nilee> halpme, Who installed it?
[02:47] <halpme> i have tried CSM on every setting imaginable, it wont detect an iso on any storage medium i try
[02:47] <pfister> its that intel hda sound
[02:47] <halpme> I installed it myself

[02:50] <wilee-nilee> halpme, Two questions, have you checked the sums on the ISO's and how are you burning th dvd and loading the udb's
[02:50] <MrCollins> After downloading a new iso, checking md5, creating usb drive with ubuntu, it gets stuck at syslinux 4.06 message then blinking cursor
[02:50] <halpme> Sums?

[03:05] <anonymous_> looking for help
[03:07] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, I think I found a solution but do not know how to implement. How do I format my usb drive to ntfs then have the usb autoboot stuff
[03:08] <MrCollins> I think my acer aspireone ZG5 for some reason has an issue with fat32 usb drive with ubuntu... Someone in the forum said they have the same machine I have, said he formatted to NTFS then booted but do not know how to do that with the bootloader... just format ntfs with windows then just skip format step in yumi?
[03:08] <mastershake> am i supposed to be prompted to boot beteen unity and gnome classic after i install gnome panel?
[03:09] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Can you give me the url to that?
[03:10] <wilee-nilee> I just want to make sure I'm actually helping you. ;)
[03:11] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610031
[03:12] <MrCollins> about halfway down is his post.
[03:15] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, with only one post I would be suspicious, the mod oldfred would be the one I follow I know there work. However you will  not break anything with a ntfs, you use the disk manager in windows to format it and then skip the format with the loader.
[03:15] <MrCollins> ok....
[03:16] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, The dd options are valid as well.
[03:16] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, I cant do dd. I wish I could. I guess I could load a virtual box, install ubuntu then make disk from there?
[03:16] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Doh I forgot you were in windows, my bad. ;)
[03:17] <MrCollins> do you think that would work or would it still have some windows on it
[03:17] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Not sure I understand the question.
[03:17] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, that did it! NTFS fixed it.
[03:18] <wilee-nilee> cool
[03:18] <wilee-nilee> one never knows, lol
[03:18] <MrCollins> now I am at grub. what now LOL
[03:18] <MrCollins> sorry.....
[03:18] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Hmm, grub on a live cd/usb?
[03:20] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Does it look basically like this? http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_new_2/grub2-chainload.png
[03:21] <MrCollins> no it has a grub command line. wilee-nilee wait I think I know what I did....

[03:22] <PepperoniPizza> Can someone help me to get the volume keys on my keyboard working again
[03:22] <PepperoniPizza> Im not sure when they stopped working, but I think it was in the 13.04 upgrade
[03:28] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee,  I have a prompt GRUB4DOS
[03:28] <MrCollins> find /menu.lst etc
[03:28] <MrCollins> commandline reboot and halt.
[03:28] <parallels> where can I download ubuntu for tablet?
[03:29] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, What release is this?
[03:30] <MrCollins> GRUB4DOS 0.4.5c
[03:30] <wilee-nilee> parallels, THe only tablet orientated download is the ubuntu-touch in development #ubuntu-touch, however ask there on regualr installs as there is a 13.10 as well.
[03:31] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, The ubuntu release, menu.list is grub legacy, we are sort of in left field for me anyway with grub4dos, I suspect the ntfs is part of that.
[03:31] <MrCollins> ubuntu release is 13.04
[03:32] <MrCollins> ubuntu release is 13.10 *correction*
[03:32] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Not sure really, did you check the files name changes in those various links?
[03:33] <MrDyne> Greetings, Is it possible to install, config, and update an Ubuntu installation inside of VirtualBox and then deploy that to a physical hard drive and put it in a computer?
[03:33] <MrCollins> no? I will. Shouldnt there be a command I issue to grub to make it load or mount my iso
[03:33] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Ah, get 13.04, 13.10 is a development, the channel for 13.10 is #ubuntu+1 I can't say 13.04 will not act the same but it is supported on this channel.
[03:34] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, sorry I meant to say 13.04
[03:34] <wilee-nilee> cool
[03:34] <MrCollins> sorry its late my bad
[03:34] <wilee-nilee> no biggie
[03:34] <Jordan_U> parallels: The default Unity interface is designed to work well with tablets. Do you have any problem with normal Ubuntu?

[03:35] <MrCollins> thank you wilee-nilee
[03:35] <MrDyne> I am limited to internet access at a public place and can't haul in my desktop computer to install Ubuntu and the software I want for offline usage at home.
[03:36] <wilee-nilee> MrDyne, Can you boot a cd or usb there?
[03:37] <wilee-nilee> MrDyne, Soory is it you want to have sources to transfer to home from the public access?
[03:38] <MrDyne> No was wondering if there is a way to bridge VirtualBox to a real computer.  Can I take my laptop to the public location and download and install Ubuntu in VirtualBox and then some how copy that virtual hard drive image to a real hard drive.
[03:39] <wilee-nilee> MrDyne, Supposedly you can, however I was not able to myself when I tried for fun.
[03:40] <MrDyne> Mite I ask how you attempted to copied the virtual hard drive image to a real hard drive?
[03:40] <MrDyne> Or did you not get that far?
[03:41] <wilee-nilee> MrDyne, From virtualbox forums I believe it was a couple of years ago.
[03:41] <somsip> MrDyne: like this? http://superuser.com/questions/114445/is-it-possible-to-convert-virtual-machines-to-physical-environments

[03:47] <MrCollins> man I am at a loss
[03:48] <MrCollins> ive gotten this far and no luck... hmmm... grub4dos i guess is not very friendly way to install ubuntu....
[03:48] <wheatthin> or at least not a very friendly way to install grub
[03:53] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Is that the stock version aspire one zg5 with 512Mib of ram, a bit old for ubuntu and below minimal requirements even if you got a install. I have a aspire d250 that runs okay but with 2 gigs ram, there is lubuntu though for lower loads.
[03:53] <MrCollins> it has 1gb ram
[03:53] <MrCollins> im just going to use it for an mp3 player connected to my surround sound
[03:54] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Hmm, well I'm stumped the ubuntu forums might be helpful if you choose to keep trying as well.
[03:54] <MrCollins> i thought this would be freaking simple.
[03:54] <wilee-nilee> usually is
[03:54] <MrCollins> im not giving up. I know it will work.
[03:55] <MrCollins> just need a grub4dos guru ;)
[03:55] <wilee-nilee> that is the spirit. ;)
[03:55] <MrCollins> yes
[03:56] <wilee-nilee> I think the ntfs and grub4dos is not the answer though, that poster had one post on the forums, who knows how true that is, I have never seen that for a iso loaded linux
[03:56] <MrCollins> the ntfs gets me past the syslinux issue...
[03:56] <wilee-nilee> does  not mean it isn't but I have never seen that is all.
[03:57] <wilee-nilee> MrCollins, Getting past that issue is not a valid answer if you use critical thinking, in other words don't get stuck there is all.
[03:58] <MrCollins> wilee-nilee, I understand. I was self validating... giving me the courage to press on
[03:58] <MrCollins> ;)
[03:58] <wilee-nilee> lol, use what you need. ;)

[04:35] <expwOrm> styles
[04:35] <expwOrm> i have been installed Ubuntu precise
[04:35] <expwOrm> 12.04
[04:35] <expwOrm> but, skype look with rare symbols
[04:35] <expwOrm> thats an image imgur.com/Myvw2Na
[04:35] <expwOrm> i duno why skype look rare symbols
[04:36] <somsip> expwOrm: a missing font? What language are those skype contacts written in?
[04:36] <expwOrm> Im from méxico, i installed ubuntu on english, but i configured the keyboard on Spanish MX
[04:36] <somsip> expwOrm: and how did you install skype
[04:36] <styles> Yeah font / language issue
[04:36] <styles> Ah that's probably it
[04:36] <expwOrm> I install skype from Skype webpage, then from repo... and its the same
[04:37] <expwOrm> vidalia for tor is the same case
[04:37] <wheatthin> it's using wingdings
[04:37] <wheatthin> for the skype issue
[04:37] <styles> What language is skype set to? Spanish?
[04:37] <expwOrm> i duno
[04:37] <wheatthin> expwOrm, it's using Wingdings
[04:38] <expwOrm> becasuse when i try to install skype, show symbols, and i dont understand
[04:38] <somsip> expwOrm: options, general, 'Set program laguage to...'
[04:38] <styles> Yeah
[04:38] <styles> And I'd go to System Settings -> Language Support I'd download spanish so you avoid future issues
[04:38] <expwOrm> somsip, all of skype is in rare symbols... i can understand where is what
[04:39] <styles> it's the bottom left hand corner
[04:39] <somsip> expwOrm: then the crossed hammer and screwdriver icon for Settings
[04:39] <styles> expwOrm,  ctrl + o for options
[04:39] <somsip> ..for Options (sorry)
[04:39] <PepperoniPizza> what could cause some keys to not show any keycode in xev etc, while xmodmap says they are keycode 122/123 ????
[04:39] <expwOrm> let me see
[04:39] <expwOrm> and vidalia show the same problen
[04:39] <expwOrm> problem*
[04:40] <styles> total side note, why the hell does a font named wingding even exist

[04:47] <thetenthdr> lotuspsychje, I saw that yesterday, it's a question without an answer..
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> !ralink | thetenthdr
[04:49] <thetenthdr> No offense, I really hate that bot. Thanks though.
[04:50] <holstein> thetenthdr: how about the links it references? did you find those relevant?
[04:50] <PepperoniPizza> what could cause some keys to not show any keycode in xev etc, while xmodmap says they are keycode 122/123 ????
[04:51] <thetenthdr> Not really. Ive read through it already, and google searched until my eyes bled, followed quite a few guides, and finally just did a fresh install of ubuntu to see if that helped.
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> thetenthdr: did you also check 'additional drivers' to see if some drivers need to be installed?
[04:52] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: IIRC, xmodmap -pke tells you the mappings. xev will tell you what key's have what codes. If a key doesn't have a code, the mapping makes no difference. So your keys aren't being picked up correctly. What device is it?
[04:52] <holstein> thetenthdr: have you tried other ubuntu versions live?
[04:52] <holstein> thetenthdr: have you tried the windows driver with ndisgtk?
[04:52] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, its just a logitech wireless keyboard, all my other multimedia keys work fine
[04:53] <thetenthdr> Holstein, that is exactly where I'm stuck. Ndisgtk shows the driver installed and the hardware present, but it is still not functioning.
[04:53] <PepperoniPizza> but my XF86Audio{Raise,Lower]Volume/Mute Don't work
[04:53] <thetenthdr> Ive done it through ndisgtk and ndiswrapper using Terminal with the same results, nothing
[04:53] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: you need to find some way of making sure those keys are generating a signal that is being read by Ubuntu
[04:53] <holstein> thetenthdr: try with a known good access point with no encryption
[04:54] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, they aren't as far as I can tell but when I press them the terminal cursor blinks, so it see's the key somehow I just don't know how
[04:54] <thetenthdr> Holstein, that's what Im saying. Zero response from the wifi card. Doesnt even attempt to list available access points
[04:54] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: does it work with other OSes? Another computer?
[04:55] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, well my other pc is my gaming pc, so it runs windows
[04:55] <thetenthdr> holstein, Also, iwconfig doesnt list wlan0, only usb0, eth0 and lo
[04:56] <holstein> thetenthdr: i would test the hardware somewhere with a windows driver.. i worked on a card for *days* and i finally took it to a windows box, and it was bad
[04:56] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, about 99.9% sure there is nothing wrong with the keyboard
[04:56] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, i should mention this worked fine in the last version of ubuntu
[04:56] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: that doesn't answer what I'm asking. You first need to make sure you do not have a hardware issue, or you could be killing time.
[04:56] <thetenthdr> holstein, the card works. This is a dual boot system, right before I reinstalled I booted to W7 and used the wifi adapter
[04:56] <iMnew> hi
[04:57] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, well i'm saying the keys worked in ubuntu 12.10 and don't work in 13.04
[04:57] <PepperoniPizza> that is what changed
[04:57] <thetenthdr> holstein, I wish it was that simple, it's still under warranty lol
[04:57] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: when did they last work?
[04:57] <holstein> thetenthdr: unfortunately, it can be challenging when the vendors dont support the operation system you want to use
[04:57] <pranav1> how can i change workspace switching time (animation that precedes ctrl + alt +  arrow keys ) ?
[04:58] <holstein> thetenthdr: what would i do? i usually swap out hardware.. things are too affordable these days
[04:58] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, before I upgraded to 13.04
 Fn
[04:58] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, which was ahile ago i'm just trying to get shit to work now
[04:58] <deckard_> hello. Is there a command to like clean up flash? Maybe to dump out old stuff?
[04:58] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: And I now give up. This might help you to find a keycode or scancode https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys
[04:58] <PepperoniPizza> insmod, i don't have an fn key this isn't a laptop
[04:58] <holstein> deckard_: flash?
[04:58] <iMnew> i amusing ubuntu12.04 and i havea printer installed onmy systeM which accepts print command once but after that i have to restart the printerto give another print. Whatto do?
[04:58] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, yea i've been all through that just now
[04:58] <thetenthdr> holstein, Im starting to see that lol. Supposedly others have gotten it working, but it doesnt seem to want to for me. Any recommendations on a good dual band wifi adapter?
 ah
[04:58] <deckard_> yes, some sites wont work. they said clean out flash settings etc
[04:58] <pranav1> how can i change workspace switching time (animation that precedes ctrl + alt +  arrow keys ) ?
[04:59] <PepperoniPizza> insmod, i have volume up/down keys that worked on 12.04 and don't work on 13.04 for no apparent reason

[04:59] <guest-xFFG8z> Hey all.
[04:59] <guest-xFFG8z> So i restarted my laptop today
[04:59] <guest-xFFG8z> And I cannot login
[04:59] <guest-xFFG8z> It accepts the password, takes me to a back screen, then back out to unity login
[04:59] <guest-xFFG8z> black screen*
[05:00] <holstein> deckard_: in what, friend? you are talking about in some web browser? you are visiting a page that says "clean out flash"?
[05:00] <guest-xFFG8z> I have not restarted in a few days, have applied the last few updates.
[05:00] <guest-xFFG8z> I see that one update apparently causes this behavior:

[05:00] <guest-xFFG8z> However, 1) I am able to login to the guest account
 system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts
[05:00] <guest-xFFG8z> And 2) I have no idea how to install anything or change to the super user from within the guest account.
[05:00] <guest-xFFG8z> I have no access to sudo
[05:01] <guest-xFFG8z> Did Ubuntu seriously break its own OS through an update?
[05:01] <PepperoniPizza> insmod, i'm on xfce4 and yes I have checked, nothing mentioning those keys exists
[05:01] <PepperoniPizza> guest-xFFG8z, are you somehow surprised ?
[05:01] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: there is a recovery consol
[05:01] <guest-xFFG8z> PepperoniPizza, I guess not. I suppose I thought Ubuntu was trying to be A-material or something.
[05:01] <PepperoniPizza> what does A-material mean ?
 i use balckbox
[05:02] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: i have had that.. i blew out the user config for unity.. you can do that from a live CD if its more comfortable
[05:02] <guest-xFFG8z> Ehm, higher quality standards I suppose.

[05:02] <PepperoniPizza> guest-xFFG8z, things get broken all the time
[05:02] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: like keyboards...check it...
[05:02] <PepperoniPizza> no one is perfect at writing code for all the dif hardware that exists
[05:02] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, lol
[05:02] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: this is not really an operating system quality issue.. its likely just user config problems.. in your /home config... blow them out and test
[05:03] <guest-xFFG8z> holstein, by recovery console you mean hold shift to drop to root prompt?
[05:03] <guest-xFFG8z> Sort of thing?
[05:03] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, kk let me plug in that k/b to this machine and check
[05:03] <guest-xFFG8z> I recall that now, thanks.
[05:03] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: you can use a live CD if you prefer..
[05:03] <guest-xFFG8z> holstein, user config problems? Like my config of unity?
[05:03] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, yep the buttons work fine in windows
[05:03] <PepperoniPizza> ;-)
[05:03] <guest-xFFG8z> I didn't make any changes in the last couple months O.o And it has been fine.
[05:03] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: the config files in your /home, for unity.. they are "bad" and causing a login loop
[05:03] <iMnew> help
[05:04] <iMnew> whattodo
[05:04] <holstein> !ask | iMnew
[05:04] <guest-xFFG8z> holstein, any idea what they might be called?
[05:04] <vtmna> hi anybody runs Dota 2 on Steam, the native version not though Wine
[05:04] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: ok - good to confirm. Any model number for this keyboard?
 last iused xfcde it was a cde clone
[05:05] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, logitech mk320
 last iused xfce it was a cde clone
[05:05] <PepperoniPizza> just a cheapo wireless k/b
[05:05] <PepperoniPizza> insmod, I love xfce
[05:05] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: i would, if i were able to look.. they will be in ~/config somewhere.. grab them all, and just move them out, or rename them temporarily
  balckbox and Eterm
[05:06] <guest-xFFG8z> holstein, can everything in ~/.config be moved without causing harm?
[05:06] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: harm?
[05:06] <guest-xFFG8z> such as autostart, compiz, gnome-session, etc?
[05:06] <guest-xFFG8z> Well..
[05:06] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: you cant login, correct? im not asking you to delete anything
[05:06] <guest-xFFG8z> After moving them out or renaming them, would I be able to login?
[05:06] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: what will happen you you move them?
[05:07] <guest-xFFG8z> When they're moved I'll be missing configuration
[05:07] <guest-xFFG8z> I would think Unity/whatever uses that configuration will scream at me
[05:07] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: new ones get made, and, if the issue is in their, you will be able to login
[05:07] <guest-xFFG8z> And not function
[05:07] <guest-xFFG8z> Hmm...
[05:07] <guest-xFFG8z> Alright, will give it a shot
[05:07] <holstein> guest-xFFG8z: all the time, those files are *right* *where* you put them
[05:07] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: amazingly, we have reports of success by 'turning the keyboard off at the back and on again' http://is.gd/HuU3iO
[05:07] <guest-xFFG8z> One moment. Or 3.
[05:08] <iMnew> i amsusing ubuntu1204 andhave aprinter installedon themachine. iT accepts the first printcommand but for the subsequent printcommands ihaveto restart theprinter.whY isthis occuring andwhattodo?
[05:08] <iMnew> help?
[05:08] <holstein> iMnew: that might be as good as support gets for the device
[05:09] <holstein> iMnew: what do i do? try other drivers... and search online for better drivers
[05:09] <iMnew> holstein: meanswhat?
[05:09] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, didn't work
[05:09] <PepperoniPizza> i tried taking the batteries out too
[05:09] <holstein> iMnew: you are using some driver.. try another one
[05:09] <iMnew> holstein: ok but those arethe official driver
[05:09] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: I'm not overly surprised, but worth a punt
[05:09] <holstein> iMnew: you would need to ask the manufacturer if they have made one for you to use in ubuntu
[05:10] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, that link is broken also
[05:10] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: and you have tried showkey and looking for scancodes using dmesg|tail ? Er...link?
[05:10] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, the one you linked says bad gateway
[05:11] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, yes! showkey actually shows it as keycode 114/115 but when I try that it doesn't work
[05:11] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: ok - not very exciting. http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Keyboards-and-Keyboard-Mice/MK320-keyboard-hot-keys-not-working/td-p/545318/page/2
[05:11] <iMnew> holstein: they have specified thatitis forlinux
[05:11] <holstein> iMnew: they?
[05:11] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, dmesg|tail -5 shows nothing
[05:11] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: shows nothign when you press the key? And showkey? And after that I'm out of ideas
[05:12] <holstein> iMnew: if you would like a volunteer to help googld search for answers, link what device you have
[05:12] <iMnew> holstein: sorry, canon mf3010 multifuntion printer which only printes and photocopy but cannot scan on ubuntu
[05:12] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, actually now dmesg is showing something about input: /devices/pci blah blah etc
[05:13] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: it might be helpful, but I'd only be googling it...
[05:13] <holstein> iMnew: what i read says to try http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100270810.html
[05:13] <iMnew> holstein: thedriverhasadebfile
[05:13] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5867176
[05:13] <holstein> iMnew: have you tried one from ubuntu? in the wizard?
[05:14] <holstein> iMnew: i see nothing indicating the scanner wont work
[05:14] <iMnew> holstein: the wizrd from ubuntu doesnt have thespecific driver
[05:15] <holstein> iMnew: yes, but ther are *many* drivers to try there
[05:15] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: this is a new entry in dmesg? It's acting like the usb dongle has been plugged in again. Have you tried that in a different USB slot? Have you checked the batteries for the keyboard? And the mouse?  Renamed .config to .notconfig, made a new .config directory and made sure it had the same ownership and permissions as the original...
[05:17] <guest-M4ojeM> But got to the login screen and it still just booted me back out to login whenever I tried to get into my user
[05:17] <holstein> guest-M4ojeM: right
[05:17] <holstein> guest-M4ojeM: you did it wrong
[05:17] <guest-M4ojeM> oops :(
[05:17] <holstein> guest-M4ojeM: the system will make the new one.. you dont
[05:17] <guest-M4ojeM> Ah, not just new contents of it
[05:17] <guest-M4ojeM> I... yeah, okay embarrassing >.<
[05:17] <guest-M4ojeM> I will brb again then
[05:18] <holstein> guest-M4ojeM: you *only*, as i said, delete or move the config.. dont replace it with *anything*
[05:18] <guest-M4ojeM> kk
[05:18] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, I had unplugged it to test on windows :-)
[05:18] <iMnew> holstein: soidelete the printerand try installing printer again
[05:18] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, it worked fine on windows remember, I tried removing the batteries and putting em back in and no dice on ubuntu still
[05:18] <excesseye> exit
[05:18] <excesseye> q
[05:18] <holstein> iMnew: what driver are you using? the one i linked?
[05:19] <holstein> iMnew: start by telling me what driver you are using
[05:19] <iMnew> holstein: UFR II Printer Driver for Linux Version 2.70
[05:20] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, it is all good some things just don't work on certain releases I guess
[05:20] <holstein> iMnew: did you get it from the link i gave?
[05:20] <guest-zhQC4P> holstein, this time I nuked it from orbit, rm -rf /home/user/.config
[05:21] <guest-zhQC4P> still no joy :(
[05:21] <iMnew> holstein: i had already downloaded it from the website and installed the driver with sudodpkg -i
[05:22] <holstein> iMnew: did you try an included driver first? why not remove it, and try one from the default setup
[05:22] <iMnew> holstein: ok
[05:22] <iMnew> holstein: wait am trying
[05:22] <holstein> guest-zhQC4P: still could be something in the config.. you want to try another user?
[05:23] <holstein> guest-zhQC4P: make a new user, or try logging in as guest
[05:23] <guest-zhQC4P> holstein, only have guest and that one user
[05:23] <guest-zhQC4P> holstein, I'm guest now
[05:23] <guest-zhQC4P> Using the guest account to talk to ya
[05:23] <holstein> guest-zhQC4P: make a new user from tty.. or from the recovery terminal
[05:23] <guest-zhQC4P> I just can't login to the normal account.
[05:24] <guest-zhQC4P> holstein, I think I just found my problem
[05:25] <guest-zhQC4P> First of all, i forgot all about tty, which would've solved the "how can I do these administrative things from guest account?" problem quite well.
[05:25] <guest-zhQC4P> Secondly, I used tty and logged in as the other user that was having issues, and received an error message about unexpected end of file in ~/.profile
[05:25] <guest-zhQC4P> There was a random "f" in it.
[05:25] <holstein> thats a good place to start
[05:25] <guest-zhQC4P> So let me try logging in now.
[05:26] <holstein> just move or rename that, and test
[05:26] <guest-zhQC4P> I removed the obviously out of place "f" -- I edited that file recently... would make this whole issue my fault.
[05:27] <guest-zhQC4P> In one of the most humbling ways
[05:27] <iMnew> holstein: i have selected 4010 ppd and it is also printing i printed two pages just now. seems to be ok.. Will see if it works well.. thanks a lot :)
[05:27] <holstein> iMnew: enjoy!
[05:28] <iMnew> holstein: although theres nothing written about the scanned not working but it is not working. so what do you suggest
[05:28] <holstein> iMnew: how is it now working? have you tried it?
[05:29] <iMnew> holstein: i open simplescan and there is an error message no scanners detected
[05:29] <holstein> iMnew: might not work then
[05:29] <iMnew> holstein: i try to add but  get the same error
[05:30] <holstein> iMnew: they usually just show up if they can be supported
[05:30] <holstein> iMnew: i would just enjoy the printer for now :)
[05:30] <iMnew> holstein: so what can be done
[05:30] <thatsnotjack> Got an error trying to enable a swapfile.  Checked the obvious (permissions look correct (root:root 0600) , FS is ext4.  `sudo swapon -v /swap` exits with 255 after printing: "swapon: /swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument".  Anyone have any ideas?
[05:30] <holstein> iMnew: again, ideally, you ask the manufacturer
[05:31] <iMnew> holstein: so i call them up?
[05:31] <nilsec> holstein, well, I do think it was my .profile after all
[05:31] <holstein> iMnew: i would start with an email.. then, when you dont hear from them, try the link i gave
[05:32] <holstein> nilsec: so, no need to adjust quality control for the larger ubuntu commmunity then? ;)
[05:32] <mayankmadan> i just cant clone a repository
[05:32] <nilsec> holstein, well at least... I tried restoring the old .config directory to reintroduce the problem, and it didn't cause issues
[05:32] <mayankmadan> can any one help?
[05:32] <thatsnotjack> mayank: what vcs?
[05:32] <nilsec> holstein, no, no need to adjust that -- just a need to adjust my attitude ;) I'll blame it on being very late at night on a worknight :)
[05:32] <holstein> nilsec: it happens.. no worries, and glad you are back to a login
[05:32] <nilsec> and thus, you know, shove off culpability
[05:32] <sarcasticsimba> Mayank: what's happening?
[05:33] <nilsec> holstein, thanks a lot for your help :)
[05:33] <nilsec> now I've got a lot to reconfigure
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | holstein
[05:33] <holstein> mauryaarun: help what? you are trying to close what?
[05:33] <holstein> lotuspsychje: lol
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> :p
[05:33] <holstein> mauryaarun: what are you trying to clone
[05:34] <nilsec> probably didn't help that I encountered this issue while trying to get this laptop out for Wireshark to test why network connectivity was suddenly abysmal for everyone (look for local network issues), holstein
[05:34] <nilsec> was already fed up with the ISP, as I was sure it was something outside our network... yeah anyways, don't want to clog up chat with that.
[05:34] <mayankmadan> saracasticsimba: i cloned kde's neverland repository using this git clone git@git.kde.org:websites/neverland
[05:34] <mayankmadan> then i checked out develop branch
[05:35] <mayankmadan> when i did git branch -a, it showed develop but the files in neverland directory are of master branch
[05:35] <mayankmadan> then i restarted my laptop and then the .git directory from neverland was deleted
[05:36] <eduhat> hey guys what is a simple cli text to speach program I can use?
[05:36] <sarcasticsimba> mayankmadan: Whoa. Weird. Have you tried nuking the repo and starting from scratch?
[05:36] <mayankmadan> nuking?
[05:36] <eduhat> im trying to have fun with some people that are logged into a computer im logged into over SSH
[05:36] <mayankmadan> saracasticsimba: nuking?
[05:36] <thatsnotjack> mayankmadan: rm -rf the repo directory
[05:36] <wilee-nilee> thatsnotjack, If you want a swap file that is dynamic you could try swapspace it is in the repos I have used it in the past
[05:37] <sarcasticsimba> mayankmadan: Deleting the whole (local) repo and cloning from scratch
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> eduhat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech
[05:37] <thatsnotjack> wilee-nilee: I haven't seen that yet, I'll check it out.  Thanks!  I'd still like to figure this issue out there, just for the sake of my sanity :)
[05:37] <CobaltHex> so i was trying to set up ldap
[05:37] <CobaltHex> but that didnt work out
[05:37] <CobaltHex> and now my server seems to be fucked
[05:37] <CobaltHex> i cannot login via ssh
[05:38] <lotuspsychje> !language | CobaltHex
[05:38] <CobaltHex> because pam is trying to look for ldap
[05:38] <CobaltHex> i do not know how to remove that check
[05:39] <mayankmadan> sarcasticsimba: yep i have done that
[05:40] <sarcasticsimba> mayankmadan: And the problem persists? That's odd. You've made sure that you've got your branch checked out, right? You're not poking around in master?
[05:41] <cfultz> hey everyone, I just started working for my companies data team. Just got my laptop today, running 12.04 (since everything we've tested and need is working on it). Any specific tools for network analysis other than wireshark, minicom, etc. that i should use? Any help is appreciated!
[05:42] <moxzie> hi dude
[05:43] <moxzie> how do i remove the password thing in kubuntu
[05:44] <thatsnotjack> cfultz:  What network analysis tasks will you be performing specifically?
[05:44] <holstein> moxzie: what "thing" ?
[05:44] <wilee-nilee> moxzie, The channel does not support removing passwords or that option.
[05:44] <moxzie> whenever i mount some drive in the pcmanfm
[05:45] <holstein> !chown | moxzie
[05:45] <CobaltHex> PAM unable to dlopen(pam_ldap.so): /lib/security/pam_ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:45] <mayankmadan> sarcasticsimba: i didnt got your last messages
[05:45] <cfultz> thatsnotjack, just basic data watching, making sure streams are good, no issues with picture messages, etc
[05:46] <moxzie> thnkd dude
[05:46] <sarcasticsimba> mayankmadan: I just asked if you're positive you've got your branch checked out and that you're not working in master. Or maybe the branch you're trying to use was recently merged with master? How's the commit history look?
[05:48] <CobaltHex> PAM unable to dlopen(pam_ldap.so): /lib/security/pam_ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:50] <thatsnotjack> cfultz: tcpdump could be handy, but I suppose wireshark will do that job just fine.  It's tough to tell what tools you'll need until we know what problems you'll be bumping up agaist :)
[05:50] <cfultz> thatsnotjack: that is very true
[05:55] <CobaltHex> anyone?
[05:56] <cfultz> doesnt look like there's anything there CobaltHex
[05:56] <CobaltHex> ?
[05:56] <CobaltHex> PAM unable to dlopen(pam_ldap.so): /lib/security/pam_ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:58] <narzyneedshelp> long question about dns and reverse proxy
[05:58] <narzyneedshelp> nginx or apache for reverse proxy
[05:59] <narzyneedshelp> is the only thing that I have to do are create the zone records to point to localhost and then let the proxy do the rest?
[06:01] <erek> is there a default app in the instlal disc to check a HDD for errors?
[06:02] <aeon-ltd> erek: fsck?
[06:02] <erek> well
[06:02] <erek> what if it's not a linux disk
[06:08] <wilee-nilee> erek, Disks will and does a smart check.
[06:12] <erek> ah
[06:12] <erek> im trying to figure out if my disk is bad
[06:12] <erek> i'm currently running a mkfs.ext4
[06:13] <cfhowlett> erek, for diagnosing physical HDD problems, best to use the default tools for the HDD.  Check the manufacturers site for such.
[06:13] <cfhowlett> erek, but what makes you suspect the HDD?
[06:13] <erek> cfhowlett: it had OSX on the drive, this is an iMac
[06:14] <erek> and im using ubuntu to try and diagnose it
[06:14] <erek> but anyways, OSX wouldn't boot, and recovery said the drive was locked
[06:14] <erek> and during verification, i would see input/output errors
[06:14] <erek> i tried to install ubuntu over the whole drive
[06:14] <erek> but it was taking forever to "create ext4 filesystem"
[06:15] <erek> i didn't see any errors in the dmesg
[06:15] <erek> i got fed up and rebooted
[06:15] <erek> im doing the mkfs.ext4 myself so i can see how far along it is
[06:15] <erek> its a 250GB drive
[06:20] <cfhowlett> erek, I've only ever tripled booted a Dell hackintosh.  I'd suggest formatting/wiping the HDD before attempting OS installation
[06:21] <erek> it's formatting
[06:21] <cfhowlett> erek, as ext4, right?
[06:21] <erek> yup
[06:21] <erek> ionodes something or other
[06:21] <Wardrop> Does anyone know how to start all services that should already be running? Such as if I did a `killall java`, is there a way I can do a `service all start` and have all those services automatically start if they're not already running?
[06:21] <erek> it's at 1100/1818
[06:22] <CobaltHex> service java start
[06:22] <CobaltHex> ?
[06:22] <cfhowlett> erek, go have a coffee ...
[06:22] <CobaltHex> arent init.d all of the initial run services
[06:22] <CobaltHex> just enum those
[06:23] <Wardrop> CobaltHex: Well, there's multiple services, and they all named after the application.
[06:23] <erek> cfhowlett: what's your favorite coffee?
[06:23] <Wardrop> I guess that's what I want to do, enum all the init scripts
[06:23] <Wardrop> What's the best way to do that?
[06:23] <Wardrop> In Windows for example, you have the concept of an "automatic" service. If you see one of those in a stopped state, you know it should be running, and you can safely start it.

[06:46] <cfhowlett> diverdude, probably there's a keybinding for max. screen, but I couldn't tell you what it is as I'm Xubuntu
[06:46] <aeon-ltd> diverdude: supposedly it's ctrl-alt-0
[06:46] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, was a conflict with xfce4-volumed causing the keys to be 'swallowed'
[06:47] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: nice catch :)
[06:48] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, took forever, now I can either get it to work using xbindkeys (no osd) or xfce-volumed shows an osd when I push the buttons but doesn't actually change volume lol ;-(
[06:49] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, so I still have failure
[06:49] <somsip> PepperoniPizza: steps int eh rigth direction though,,,
[06:49] <PepperoniPizza> somsip, yea atleast I know why the keys weren't even showing up
[06:49] <PepperoniPizza> cause the volumed was running ~_~
[06:50] <aeon-ltd> diverdude: did it work?
[06:52] <lodenrogue> Good morning guys. I just got Ubuntu 13 and I noticed that the screen resolution looks stretched on the vertical axis. How do I repair this?
[06:56] <aeon-ltd> lodenrogue: change resolution?
[06:57] <cfhowlett> aeon-ltd, that was my guess as well ...
[06:57] <lodenrogue> Change my screen resolution
[06:57] <aeon-ltd> yeah
[06:57] <lodenrogue> The detected resolutions are not the correct aspect ratio for my laptop
[06:58] <Siebjee> #ubuntu-server
[06:58] <lodenrogue> Is there a way to create a custom resolution?
[06:59] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, there is but you should have autodetected.  Might your graphics driver be at fault?  nvidia perhaps
[06:59] <lodenrogue> I'm not sure what graphics card this laptop has. I just got it today.
[06:59] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, you might want to check that ....
[07:00] <lodenrogue> Driver is ntel® Sandybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2
[07:00] <lodenrogue> Intel*
[07:00] <histo> lodenrogue: does xrandr show proper resolutions?
[07:00] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, or run system > settings > additional drivers
[07:00] <ss_haze> I have sandybridge and I have no problems
[07:01] <histo> lodenrogue: cfhowlett In 13.xx they moved additional drivers to System Settings > Software Sources > Additional Drivers
[07:01] <lodenrogue> oh ok thanks histo
[07:01] <ss_haze> also 12.04 is stable version
[07:01] <cfhowlett> histo, d'oh!  plus I'm on Ubuntustudio 12.04, so I'm clearly behind the times!
[07:02] <lodenrogue> damn should have gotten 12.04
[07:02] <cfhowlett> ss_haze, Long Term Support ... all releases are "stable" (in theory)
[07:02] <lodenrogue> How do I switch back?
[07:02] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, torrent 12.04 and install.  easy
[07:02] <lodenrogue> I can overwrite this install?
[07:02] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, of course.
[07:03] <lodenrogue> ok thank you. I will give it a try
[07:03] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, best of luck.  come back if you have questions
[07:03] <lodenrogue> be back in an hour or so. I'll let you guys know if that works.
[07:03] <histo> Why would you have him switch to LTS rather than fix his issue...
[07:04] <histo> Now he'll just be here with issues with 12.04
[07:04] <cfhowlett> histo, ss_haze indicated that 12.04 just worked ...

[07:11] <Sarcastic> I've tried before but I end up with a broken system
[07:12] <ss_haze> last time I had to check xorg.conf was long, long time ago :> (lucky me)
[07:13] <Equinox3> any one know how to fix the ia32-libs error on amd64
[07:14] <nimesh> what is the best linux distro for ati redeon 9800 graphics card
[07:14] <Equinox3> looked all around google. added i386 architecture, still no luck
[07:15] <histo> !xrandr | Sarcastic
[07:15] <histo> nimesh: any distro will do
[07:15] <tae1> hello, I want to know how to format usb flash drive in ubuntu
[07:15] <ss_haze> Equinox3, have you considered you need pae 32 bit distro
[07:15] <tae1> please help
[07:16] <cfhowlett> nimesh, the issue isn't the distro, the issue is the graphics driver which will be pretty standard across the major distros
[07:16] <cfhowlett> !usb|tae1,
[07:16] <ss_haze> but you probably want 64 bit OS for any means, right
[07:16] <Equinox3> ya
[07:16] <ss_haze> bad for you, Equinox
[07:17] <histo> tae1: do you know which device is your usb? e.g. /dev/sdb etc..
[07:17] <Equinox3> no skype for me then. :(
[07:17] <histo> tae1: lsblk can help
[07:17] <tae1> histo: how to use lsblk?
[07:17] <ss_haze> well, maybe you should really check if your processor isn't intel, and doesn't want pae 32 bit version
[07:18] <Equinox3> ss_haze: what do you mean?
[07:19] <diverdude> hello...i have a computer running ubuntu12.04. it has a wireless usb pin. For some reason it cannot connect to wifi...i have checked the settings in network connections, and they are exactly same as on another computer which works fine on wifi...that one is running ubuntu1210. for some reason wlan0 cannot connect....How can I find out why? (It finds the network ok, but it will not accept the password i enter even though i know its
[07:19] <diverdude> correct pwd)
[07:19] <cfhowlett> diverdude, router settings?
[07:19] <cfhowlett> diverdude, as in "admit THIS computer but not THAT computer"
[07:19] <diverdude> cfhowlett, its just set up to do dhcp
[07:20] <diverdude> cfhowlett, no i have no mac filtering
[07:20] <grass7boy_> hello
[07:20] <Equinox3> ss_haze: how do i check the processor authenticity
[07:20] <grass7boy_> is anybody familiar with ibus?
[07:20] <grass7boy_> in my ibus
[07:20] <diverdude> cfhowlett, and /etc/networking/interfaces just have default content
[07:22] <ss_haze> Equinox, I am googling it right now, but I also have 64 bit width, but it's intel, so I use 32 bit pae
[07:22] <wizrd> diverdude: did you try to connect without security? That way you can identify if it's a driver issue or a protocol issue
[07:22] <grass7boy_> when I switch my input method into chinese input
[07:22] <grass7boy_> and press shift+a
[07:22] <monkwitdafunk> Equinox3, you can use hardinfo which is aka system profiler and benchmark
[07:23] <Equinox3> k
[07:23] <grass7boy_> it will show a UPPERCASE character A
[07:23] <blackwind> pear os screen is flickering anyone know why?
[07:23] <nimesh> display
[07:23] <grass7boy_> however, my capslock is off
[07:24] <grass7boy_> is there any way to chanege the setting?
[07:26] <cfhowlett> blackwind, Pear is not supported here.  Pretty sure they have their own channel.
[07:27] <monkwitdafunk> Hi ppl of freenode. I get I/O errors when doing a sha256sum and when checking my disk for defects, it is taking forever
[07:27] <monkwitdafunk> Do i have a bad disk?
[07:28] <diverdude> wizrd, no security also dont help
[07:28] <moondancer762> Please help. I am unsure if I am in the correct place. I have some general questions about ubuntu
[07:29] <wizrd> diverdude: so without security there still is no connection
[07:29] <wizrd> Seems like driver trouble then
[07:29] <diverdude> wizrd, i dont understand it because it has worked before
[07:30] <wizrd> could be that the specific driver for your nic is included in 12.10 and not in 12.04
[07:30] <blackwind> ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 is also screen flickering in my pc :(
[07:31] <diverdude> wizrd, with the exact same hardware....then i went and did some changes in /etc/network/interfaces and it all broke down...now i have reset to original and it will not connect any longer....i have rebooted pc many times
[07:31] <Equinox3> ss_haze: monkwitdafunk the processor is Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz2999.96MHz.
[07:31] <adsc> maybe that's a new feature, blackwind
[07:31] <adsc> it0s hard to tell nowadays
[07:32] <moondancer762> Someone, please help. I am unsure if I am in the correct place. I have some questions about ubuntu
[07:32] <blackwind> adsc:the version before were working fine,but 12 to 13  is the problem
[07:32] <bazhang> !manual | moondancer762 have a read

[07:43] <ss_haze> histo: he had an error
[07:43] <adsc> ss_haze: you should make a last post on skype: "I've stopped using this garbage, meet me on <new software"
[07:43] <histo> !skype | Equinox3
[07:44] <diverdude> wizrd, i made it work
[07:44] <diverdude> wizrd, just take out the usb plug and insert it again
[07:45] <wizrd> diverdude: I assumed you had done that already
[07:45] <diverdude> wizrd, why should that be necessary
[07:45] <wizrd> glad it works again for you
[07:47] <pigletfly> test
[07:48] <wizrd> pigletfly: it works!
[07:48] <AndreBR> Hi
[07:49] <diverdude> wizrd, hmm ok it seems to be pretty unstable

[07:59] <lodenrogue> Hey guys I just installed ubuntu 12 and I'm still getting the same problem with the resolution
[07:59] <lodenrogue> Is there any way to manually set the screen resolution?
[07:59] <vlt> lodenrogue: xrandr
[08:00] <lodenrogue> Hi vlt I am new to Ubuntu and linux in general. I know I have to put that in the terminal but not sure what to do with it
[08:00] <halfvollemelk> Hi, i've got a quick question. I'm using an atheros USB network adapter to create a internet hotspot in ubuntu
[08:00] <halfvollemelk> the NIC in my laptop is connected to a wireless network
[08:01] <halfvollemelk> is it possible to share the wireless internet connection using the atheros adapter?
[08:01] <halfvollemelk> or does it need to be wired?
[08:01] <vlt> lodenrogue: For (nearly) every command there’s a manual. Type `man xrandr` (w/o the `)
[08:01] <cfhowlett> lodenrogue, dang.  I really hoped that would just work out of the box for you.  Please post your details and be atient.
[08:01] <lodenrogue> ok thank you
[08:01] <wizrd> halfvollemelk: looks like you want to connect to 2 different networks with one nic
[08:02] <halfvollemelk> wizrd: not exactly. i'm connected to a wireless network on my laptop, and i'm running ubuntu in VMware.
[08:03] <halfvollemelk> the VM get's internet connection from my laptop's wireless connection
[08:03] <halfvollemelk> and i'm trying to expand it wirelessly using a USB wi-fi adapter in vmware
[08:05] <wizrd> just to be clear on this. Ubuntu host with a VM inside. You want to share the same NIC where the host connects to your network and the VM should use the same nic as a hotspot
[08:10] <halfvollemelk> Nope, laptop running VMware with ubuntu host inside.
[08:11] <lodenrogue> could I get an example of how to use the xrandr command?
[08:13] <bazhang> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man1/xrandr.1.html      lodenrogue
[08:14] <lodenrogue> ok ty
[08:17] <wizrd> halfvollemelk: let's go dutch for a single sentence
[08:17] <wizrd> De host is waar VM in draait
[08:17] <wizrd> so the main OS is the host
[08:18] <wizrd> what OS is that
[08:20] <Swervz> Hi
[08:21] <lodenrogue> ok so now I need to choose what output I want my new resolution to display on. I have tried VGA, LVDS, and LVDS1 but it says it can't find those outputs. What other outputs are there?
[08:21] <Swervz> Linux doent have any back doors?
[08:21] <Swervz> Ubuntu is safe?
[08:22] <bazhang> !ot | Swervz
[08:23] <bazhang> lodenrogue, your output in a VMware virtual machine?
[08:23] <lodenrogue> I don't know. it is my laptop screen.
[08:23] <lodenrogue> When I try using LVDS1 it gives me this error: X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
[08:23] <lodenrogue>   Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
[08:23] <lodenrogue>   Minor opcode of failed request:  18 (RRAddOutputMode)
[08:23] <lodenrogue>   Serial number of failed request:  29
[08:23] <lodenrogue>   Current serial number in output stream:  30
[08:23] <FloodBot1> lodenrogue: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:23] <bazhang> lodenrogue, what is the guest and what is the host
[08:24] <lodenrogue> I'm really dumb when it comes to this stuff. I don't know what guest or host is/are
[08:25] <bazhang> lodenrogue, are you simply trying to adjust the resolution on your laptop screen, with Ubuntu installed on the computer, and nothing else?
[08:25] <ponbiki> ll
[08:25] <lodenrogue> that is what I am trying to do yes. I also have windows 7 installed but that is in another partition
[08:27] <isnnnn> will there be support for miracast/widi in ubuntu in the near future?
[08:28] <lodenrogue> yes bazhang
[08:36] <arvut> do you know who Sutekh is?
[08:36] <lodenrogue> ok I figured it out bazhang
[08:36] <bazhang> !ot | arvut
[08:36] <arvut> bazhang: yeah ty bazhang, been awhile
[08:37] <arvut> bazhang: how long is 10.04 supported btw? I'm considering a downgrade on my old 2007 laptop (core2 with 2Gb RAM)
[08:38] <bazhang> !10.04 > arvut
[08:38] <cjs> Arvut: why downgrade?
[08:39] <arvut> aww, so its dropped already?
[08:39] <arvut> damn
[08:39] <arvut> cjs: cause it can't run 12.04 very well
[08:39] <arvut> and it currently runs 10.10
[08:39] <arvut> iirc
[08:41] <arvut> maybe even 11.04, but it has gnome 2.6 with compiz fusion in semitransparent hexacube. not the best videocard, a intel g945 or something like that
[08:41] <arvut> might install gentoo on it instead, more customization that way
[08:42] <blazemore> arvut: For a lightweight system, look at Lubuntu (official Ubuntu derivative) or Crunchbang (Lightweight Debian derivative)
[08:42] <arvut> anyway, thx for the info. have a great day :) blazemore: I know about lubuntu and xubuntu. never liked them tho
[08:46] <cjs> Arvut, you might just try xfce or something like that. Xfce on 12.04 runs quite well on my ThinkPad X60.
[08:49] <obbe> Does anyone else have the problem of the gnome lock screen in 13.04 refusing to let you back in?
[08:50] <blazemore> !details | obbe , does it give you an error?
[08:50] <iMnew> D-Link DSL 2750U router i have. There is usb port and want to share my printer from there. I am able to print from windows but from ubuntu its not accpeting
[08:50] <iMnew> holstein: hi
[08:51] <Solupus> anyone reading the news of late?
[08:51] <iMnew> holstein: problem persists
[08:51] <ra_phael> hi, since reinstalling raring i get compilation problems like /usr/bin/ld: note: «pthread_cancel@@GLIBC_2.2.5» est défini dans le DSO /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: could not read symbols or /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: could not read symbols
[08:51] <ra_phael> is there a way to resoolve this ?
[08:52] <blazemore> iMnew: What printer do you have?
[08:52] <blazemore> !details | iMnew : What is the printer model? Can you set the printer up at all? What happens when you try to print? What do you mean by "not accepting"?
[08:52] <obbe> Symptoms: When lifting the blinds, it already says "authentication error". It's impossible to type. The cancel button and "log in as other user" animates when hovered., but does not work. The blinds come back down after a few seconds. The Unlock button is dead. So it doesn't work, but it's not a complete freeze. It's also impossible to switch to another terminal, but ctrl-alt-del works.
[08:53] <obbe> Unless I find another computer too ssh from, to kill gnome-shell, a hard reboot seems to be the only workaround.
[08:54] <blazemore> obbe: Is this Gnome 3?
[08:54] <obbe> ii  gnome-shell                 <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu6   amd64              graphical shell for the GNOME desktop
[08:54] <obbe> latest in 13.04

[09:00] <iMnew> blazemore: what is ipp
[09:01] <lotuspsychje> !tor | michaela
[09:02] <iMnew> how to install ipp ubuntu
[09:02] <histo> iMnew: What is ipp?
[09:02] <obbe> iMnew: ipp: Internet Printing Protocol
[09:02] <histo> ahh
[09:03] <OerHeks> iMnew, just add printer > select ipp, find the adress (same as in windows) ..
[09:03] <michaela> i now that it wold just be convenient to launch it from the launcher
[09:03] <histo> michaela: sounds like that file doesn't exist
[09:04] <OerHeks> iMnew, i would first see if that canon works by connecting directly to your machine instead of the router. canon can be a hog
[09:04] <histo> michaela: there is also a tor browser binary you can download it's like a portable browser.. You just launch it anytime you want to be anonymous
[09:04] <michaela> thats what i thought can u direct me to a tutorial on how to script it
[09:05] <lotuspsychje> histo: you got an url on that1?
[09:06] <michaela> its on the torproject
[09:06] <lotuspsychje> ok
[09:06] <WhiteNight> hi, how can I display the comments made in a pdf (without adobe reader)?
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> WhiteNight: what do you mean by comments
[09:09] <iMnew> OerHeks: i did that but its not working
[09:10] <iMnew> OerHeks: canon works directly connecting to the machine
[09:12] <WhiteNight> lotuspsychje: A pdf in with text comments made to text in the pdf. With adobe reader they are displayed in a yellow box and can be closed. In other pdf viewer like evince just the text passage is yellow
[09:13] <WhiteNight> lotuspsychje: something like that http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/files/2011/05/AddingCommentsUsingReader1.jpg
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> WhiteNight: you might wanna try mupdf maybe, not sure if they will show comments
[09:13] <lotuspsychje> WhiteNight: ah i see!
[09:14] <WhiteNight> lotuspsychje: mupdf does not work
[09:14] <OerHeks> iMnew, maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu

[09:20] <h4ml3t__> Leo_, how much expert?
[09:20] <Leo_> anyone else dealing with no GUI after boot?
[09:20] <histo> lotuspsychje: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en
[09:20] <Ben64> Leo_: just ask your actual question
[09:21] <Leo_> no GUI after boot
[09:21] <Baatti> that's happened to me a few times. I can't tell you how to fix it.
[09:21] <histo> Leo_: is this a brand new install?
[09:21] <Ben64> Leo_: ok, now give more details
[09:21] <Leo_> Ive been running linux for some time now on a lab pc
[09:22] <histo> Leo_: What video drivers are you using?
[09:22] <Leo_> Im gonna tyep the whole story ina single message gimme a minute, not used to IRCs
[09:22] <Baatti> wonderful, that usually helps on IRC
[09:23]  * histo My psychic powers are weakening
[09:24] <Baatti> I've only ever had an issue with X not starting up when I tinker with things I shouldn't be tinkering with. 1 time it did happen to me after trying to get Dual Monitor to work the way I wanted
[09:27] <vorsprung> is 13.04 likely to become an LTS version or doesn't it work like that
[09:28] <blazemore> !lts | vorsprung
[09:28] <blazemore> vorsprung: no
[09:28] <jrib> vorsprung: it's every 2 years (so even.04)
[09:28] <vorsprung> blazemore: ok thanks :)
[09:28] <freddofrog> folks I'm trying to do an install via virt-install using a local mirror that my ISP maintains.... so I'm entering the details manually.... of course the mirror has a dense tree made up of multiple distro's and versions... my question is: what part of the path is the installer looking for? just the /pub/ubuntu bit or do I need to give the path for the actual version I want or something else entirely?
[09:28] <vorsprung> jrib: ah! even numbers
[09:29] <histo> vorsprung: then next lts will be 14.04
[09:30] <Baatti> freddofrog, I think that would depend on the directory tree. I would think if it's an ISP virtual installer, it would be simply /pub/ubuntu... but you know how these things go
[09:31] <freddofrog> Baatti, yeah I do :( .... I've tried a few different variations but the installer is choking on it... unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to even examine the error log as I'm installing a paravirt machine and can't alt-f4 to the correct VT
[09:32] <Baatti> freddofrog, I don't really know how to help you :-/
[09:32] <freddofrog> Baatti, no probs... I'll just wait 'till someone else chimes in
[09:32] <freddofrog> :)
[09:33] <Baatti> freddofrog, can you exam the hierarchy from a browser window?
[09:33] <freddofrog> yes
[09:33] <freddofrog> what is it that I'm looking for....a specific file no doubt?
[09:33] <Baatti> freddofrog, I'm assuming you'd be looking for an .iso file
[09:34] <freddofrog> nope...
[09:34] <freddofrog> it's a VM install... rather like doing a pxe install
[09:34] <freddofrog> actually scratch that
[09:34] <Baatti> yeah I've never done that
[09:34] <freddofrog> it's the same stuff that you'd provide if you were booting from a CD but wanted the packages from an ubuntu mirror... but not one of the one's the installer knows about
[09:35] <freddofrog> Baatti, nevermind... I just had idea of something else to try
[09:35] <freddofrog> thanks
[09:35] <Baatti> so then I did help!
[09:35]  * Baatti encourages himself
[09:35] <freddofrog> :)
[09:36] <iceroot_> freddofrog: the installer is using the normal syntax which is used in /etc/apt/sources.list  so its searching for the release name and the architecture. like this archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring
[09:36] <shaunship> huhu
[09:37] <mayankmadan> everytime i restart my pc, .git directory from a cloned repository gets removed
[09:37] <mayankmadan> does anyone have idea what might be the problem
[09:38] <iceroot_> freddofrog: freddofrog so you have to prodie the path where the Packages.gz can be found for each repo/architecture
[09:38] <jivora> Hi My chrome renders like this. http://picpaste.com/pics/chrome-BCZwUTUQ.1373621799.jpg some gtk or gdk issue. Thanks for help.
[09:40] <tsester> jivora, try resetting the theme to the default one
[09:41] <jivora> tsester : This is in deployed machine. How do I do this?
[09:43] <tsester> i think you could change the theme with some programs called : gtk-theme-switch2 or gtk-chtheme
[09:43] <T3X> is it possible redirect output of a command as excel file format?
[09:43] <mayankmadan> everytime i restart my pc, .git directory from a cloned repository gets removed
[09:43] <jivora> tsester : Ok Let me try that. Thanks.
[09:43] <adsc> mayankmadan: where does that directory reside in?
[09:44] <jrib> T3X: excel can import csv.  Maybe you can be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish?
[09:44] <mayankmadan> ~/neverland/neverland
[09:44] <blazemore> T3X: No, but you could use sed, awk etc to make it a csv, and import that into Excel. But it would depend on the command and the nature of its output
[09:44] <adsc> mayankmadan: no idea, then
[09:44] <Baatti> who owns the directory?
[09:45] <T3X> blazemore: i did that but the issue is all the printed columns will open in only one excel cell, i want each column goes to each cell
[09:45]  * ss_haze listens to some music, and chills
[09:46]  * Baatti loses himself to dance
[09:46] <T3X> jrib: i want to save every output column to each excel cell
[09:47] <jrib> T3X: what are you using as the separator for csv?  Did you make sure to select that when you import in excel?
[09:47] <T3X> jrib: i am not yet been able to save it as csv.
[09:48] <jrib> T3X: why?
[09:48] <T3X> jrib: how do i do it jut ping localhost >> save.csv?
[09:50] <jrib> T3X: sure, you may want to actually use something like a comma (',') to separate the fields though.  If you say what you actually want to accomplish in the end there may be a better way.
[09:51] <T3X> jrib: ok one sec
[09:56] <T3X> jrib: this is my script's output http://pastebin.com/JfWWPZET  i save the output by using ./scrip.sh >> test.txt . Now what i want to accomplish is to save the output in excel sheet and as you see there is date, upload speet or download speed and the speed; and i want each of this parameter in different cells
[09:57] <jrib> T3X: grab each field with awk or cut and print them separated by commas
[09:57] <histo> T3X: then use ' ' as a seperator
[09:59] <T3X> this is my script  while true ; do ./speedtest.py 2>&1 | while read pong; do echo "$(date): $pong"; done | awk -F"\t" '/Download speed/ {print $0} /Upload speed/ {print $0}'; sleep 1; done how do i accomplish that
[09:59] <histo> T3X: just replace the spaces with ,
[10:00] <blazemore> When Linux 3.11 is released, is it going to be called Linux 3.11 for Workgroups?
[10:00] <histo> T3X: sed -i s/ /,/g somefile
[10:01] <T3X> histo: sed: -e expression #1, char 2: unterminated `s' command
[10:01] <histo> T3X: sed -i 's/ /,/g' somefile
[10:02] <T3X> histo: cant be used like this cat file | sed -i 's/ /,/g'
[10:02] <histo> T3X: or just import the file into excel or whatever and use space as the seperator
[10:03] <histo> T3X: it could without the -i
[10:03] <histo> T3X: Not sure why you want to do that though
[10:04] <histo> T3X: cat file | sed 's/ /,/g'    Is excessive use of cat but whatever
[10:05] <blazemore> T3X: Try importing it into LibreOffice Calc first, which has a lot more options to load a CSV
[10:05] <blazemore> T3X: Then save it to excel from there (or just keep on using Calc)
[10:06] <histo> T3X: why are you trying to add commas anyway?  What is the end goal?
[10:06] <ikonia> I suspect a comma seperated file for old excel
[10:07] <T3X> histo: thanks this one solved the problem "T3X: or just import the file into excel or whatever and use space as the seperator"
[10:09] <funkt> hi how do i change the keyboard shortcuts?
[10:10] <Baatti> funkt, which ubuntu version are you on?
[10:10] <Shane_> ?
[10:10] <Shane_> hello
[10:10] <Baatti> Shane_, yes we hear you
[10:10] <Shane_> Cool
[10:10] <Shane_> I just downloaded version 13
[10:11] <funkt> erm 12.04
[10:11] <Shane_> and burned to a dvd r
[10:11] <funkt> using gnome
[10:11] <vl4kn0> Hi, I'd like to publish a .deb package for ubuntu but I have no idea how to specify the icon and screenshots seen in ubuntu software centre
[10:11] <Shane_> and my pc will not boot it
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> vl4kn0  #ubuntu-app-devel
[10:11] <Baatti> Shane_, you need to mount the iso file, not burn it
[10:12] <blazemore> vl4kn0: If you want your application to have a screenshot in the software-center, it has to be in the repositories.
[10:12] <Shane_> I burned it with imgburn to a dvd from another pc
[10:12] <blazemore> vl4kn0: If you are interested in getting your package into the repositories, follow this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91296/how-to-add-a-software-to-the-ubuntu-software-center
[10:12] <Shane_> in order to boot from it?
[10:12] <blazemore> Shane_: How did you burn it to a DVD?
[10:12] <[Gentoo]> Shane_: it should
[10:12] <Shane_> imgburn
[10:12] <vl4kn0> blazemore: does the same goes for the icon? Does the package need to be in ubuntu repositories in order to have icon?
[10:13] <blazemore> Shane_: Is your computer set to boot from DVD first in this BIOS?
[10:13] <Shane_> its a macbook, I hold alt at startup and then i choose to boot from dvd
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> Shane_  do you have casper et al on the dvd, or just the .iso file ?
[10:13] <blazemore> vl4kn0: Do you mean an application icon? http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/02/how-to-prepare-a-compiled-application-for-ubuntu-software-center/
[10:13] <Shane_> all the files and folders
[10:14] <blazemore> Shane_: Do you get any kind of error message? What exactly happens when you try booting from DVD?
[10:14] <Shane_> Something along the lines of "No bootable media, please insert a bootable cd or dvd and press any key"
[10:15] <Shane_> i have booted from an old ubuntu 9 cd which works
[10:15] <blazemore> Shane_: Sounds like either a dodgy download or a dodgy burn
[10:15] <blazemore> Shane_: Use a USB flash drive to save wasting DVDs
[10:15] <Shane_> alright, ive just downloaded and am burning 12.04 instead
[10:15] <Shane_> thanks
[10:15] <vl4kn0> blazemore: I mean this icon http://i.imgur.com/L65Hy8R.png
[10:15] <blazemore> Any reason for 12.04 instead of 13.04 Shane_ ?
[10:16] <Shane_> 13.04 didnt work the first time
[10:16] <blazemore> Yeah vl4kn0 that'll only show if you're in the Ubuntu repositories
[10:16] <vl4kn0> blazemore: I see, thank you very much
[10:16] <blazemore> Shane_: Yes but not because it was 13.04, it probably just didn't burn correctly
[10:16] <Shane_> fair enough
[10:16] <blazemore> Shane_: Did you check the md5sum of your downloaded iso?
[10:17] <aubrmgedy> How can I run an untrusted program sandboxed?
[10:17] <Shane_> is it substantially better than 12? no
[10:17] <[Gentoo]> aubrmgedy: afaik there isnt a program like sandboxie
[10:17] <Leo_> hi again
[10:17] <Leo_>  Got a problem in runnig linux. GUI doesnt start after boot. I used command line to log in and used startx to manually start GUI. Worked with some minor screen freezes. I tried to reconfigure my nvidea graphics, closed and restarted X. Screen went blank, tried to switch to noGUI. nothing happened. Restarted PC, after boot I get a blank screen now and now even the command line access isnt working
[10:18] <blazemore> Shane_: Well I think it is, but 12.04 is long-term support. That would be the only reason I can think to use an older version
[10:18] <Shane_> ok, thanks
[10:18] <blazemore> !nomodeset | Leo_
[10:18] <Shane_> if the 12.04 works, can i update from within the os?
[10:18] <hplc> whats the easiest way to create raid0 before install? use a live-cd?
[10:18] <blazemore> Shane_: Yes but why would you? Just install 13.04 from the beginning
[10:18] <T3X> date +"%d-%m-%y" will print month number how i do it if i wanted to print month name?
[10:18] <blazemore> hplc: yes
[10:19] <blazemore> T3X: "man date"
[10:19] <Leo_> @ubottu, will check it out, thank mate
[10:19] <hplc> blazemore: thanks
[10:19] <blazemore> you're welcome Leo_ ...
[10:19] <blazemore> T3X: you want %b or %B

[10:38] <Serelijah> So, I was given an old, slow-as-a-sloth and apparently riddled-with-malware netbook to use as a guinea pig. What's the best way to go about installing Linux? Install from a boot USB, and there should be an option to install over Windows?
[10:39] <blazemore> Serelijah: Yes
[10:39] <sotrudnik> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/VqvQUYpt
[10:39] <Serelijah> If it's also riddled with malware, will it make it any faster?
[10:40] <blazemore> Serelijah: The malware is on Windows. You will be completely removing all of Windows' partitions
[10:40] <sotrudnik> blazemore: http://pastebin.com/ADNzFaTh
[10:40] <[Gentoo]> Serelijah: just destroy the windows partition from a linux livecd and install on a clean partition
[10:40] <Serelijah> Sure will. Boot USBs interchangeable from livecds?
[10:41] <blazemore> Serelijah: Yes
[10:41] <MonkeyDust> sotrudnik  nothing wrong there, what's the exact error you get ?
[10:42] <sotrudnik> oh wow, after `dpkg --configure -a' apt-get -f install started to work, not complain!
[10:42] <Serelijah> Great. While I'm looking for an empty one I have lying aorund, is there anything I should know about choosing the exact version of Linux? (such as the desktop environment)
[10:42] <blazemore> Serelijah: if it's an old netbook, look at Lubuntu, which is based on Ubuntu but uses the lightweight LXDE desktop environment
[10:43] <blazemore> Serelijah: There are a LOT of distributions of Linux, however. Choosing an Ubuntu official derivative, or an Ubuntu-based distribution like Mint is what I recommend for new users, as it makes it easier for them to find help
[10:43] <Serelijah> Right. Though I can always dualboot/reinstall if I need to, don't I?
[10:43] <sotrudnik> http://pastebin.com/r2yQK3f2
[10:44] <ss_haze> better xubuntu, as lxde has some problems with system tray as it expands, while having some ubuntu binary loaded in memmory
[10:44] <crocket> hi
[10:44] <sotrudnik> now I have this ^^^^^^^^^^
[10:44] <blazemore> Serelijah: Yes of course
[10:44] <crocket> When will I see ubuntu phones and tablets?
[10:44] <blazemore> !ot | crocket
[10:44] <Serelijah> Excellent, thanks. back to looking for that bloody usb...
[10:44] <bazhang> !touch | crocket
[10:45] <bazhang> blazemore, thats not ot
[10:45] <blazemore> I think it is for a support channel bazhang
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> sotrudnik  did you ever install something that was not from the repos?
[10:45] <bazhang> blazemore, #ubuntu-touch in the future
[10:45] <blazemore> bazhang: He's more likely to get a discussion about it going in ot at the moment
[10:46] <bazhang> blazemore, there s a channel for that #ubuntu-touch
[10:46] <sotrudnik> MonkeyDust: I edited sources.list to add debian's sid, because ubuntu's libreoffice base comes without report builder, which is very essential for our database solutions
[10:47] <blazemore> sotrudnik: See, you probably shouldn't do that...
[10:47] <sotrudnik> MonkeyDust: and did apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice
[10:47] <bazhang> sotrudnik, never mix ubuntu and debian repos
[10:47] <sotrudnik> blazemore: building libreoffice from source was rcommended on mail list
[10:47] <blazemore> sotrudnik: I think you should remove that debian repository, and run apt-get update
[10:47] <sotrudnik> blazemore: already reverted
[10:47] <Chat2498> lol
[10:50] <sotrudnik> maybe worth upgrading to 13.04? can it be done w/o reinstalling?
[10:50] <ss_haze> happy blazing
[10:51] <sotrudnik> can you please pastebin sources.list for 13.04?
[10:51] <blazemore> sotrudnik: Russia?
[10:52] <sotrudnik> blazemore: да
[10:52] <blazemore> sotrudnik: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5867782/
[10:53] <sotrudnik> blazemore: thanks, will try
[10:54] <Serelijah> Well, now to actually find the livecd download...
[10:55] <blazemore> What have you chosen to get Serelijah ?
[10:55] <sotrudnik> 1563 upgraded, 394 newly installed, 27 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[10:55] <sotrudnik> wow (it's from apt-get -y dist-upgrade)
[10:56] <Serelijah> I'm not really knowledgeable about desktop environments
[10:58] <blazemore> Serelijah: I'd recommend Xubuntu
[10:59] <Serelijah> v 12 or 13?
[10:59] <otak> +1 xubuntu it's light, easy to configure and personalize
[11:00] <blazemore> Serelijah: 13.04
[11:00] <blazemore> Serelijah: (Named after the month and year of release)

[11:04] <AntonioL> i apologize, what do you mean with fresh?
[11:04] <tomreyn> hi, i need to install ubuntu 12.04 side by side (dual-boot) with windows 7 on an eepc. windows is already installed (OEM/recovery partition) in UEFI mode. i tried with the 64-bit installer (which, in contrary to the 32-bit one, supports UEFI detection) but the system reported it cannot handle 64-bit (which surprised me, this should be an Atom CPU, but then it only has 1 GB). now i want to try with the 32-bit ubuntu installer, but i'm not next to
[11:04] <tomreyn> the system now and am a bit worried about uefi detection.
[11:04] <tomreyn> or lack thereof.
[11:04] <blazemore> AntonioL: Had it only just been installed?
[11:05] <AntonioL> no
[11:05] <AntonioL> it has been working without problem until today

[11:28] <hdon> hi all :) why is it so easy to lock up my system hard with a single process allocating tons of memory and using all of my CPU? it seems to me that in the past, the kernel was responsive on the VT no matter what abuse a process was committing. i could Control+Alt+F1, login, and kill the process, without it taking ten minutes. these days, on ubuntu at least, it's easy to make a programming mistake and lock up my entire desktop. what can i d
[11:28] <hdon> o to stop this?
[11:29] <clemens> Hello, is it possible to check what happen during the boot and how long it takes?
[11:29] <greenit> hi, i have accidentally locked out myself from a virtual server (iptables -P INPUT DROP), i already managed to rescue it (host has a rescue-console and i was able to chroot to the system and purge iptables)... however, if i reinstall iptables, will the policies be re-applied (so that i get locked out again), or are they reset?
[11:29] <OerHeks> clemens, try bootchart
[11:29] <OerHeks> !bootchart
[11:30] <schnuffle> greenit: if you just launched the command, after a reboot the rules are gone
[11:31] <OerHeks> clemens that is how i found out disabling IPv6 saves me 9 sec boottime
[11:31] <clemens> thx
[11:31] <schnuffle> greenit: if you saved the rules of course they will be reestablished but as you have locked out yourself I supose you sissn't
[11:32] <greenit> schnuffle, nope, i didn't save them.. phew, then i can re-install iptables and configure it the right way, thx^^
[11:33] <buttee22> hello. could i get a suggestion for a very easy simple inventory managment software? just to keep track of items coming in and out with basic info...

[12:02] <shurtagul> ok.
[12:03] <schnuffle> shurtagul: okay, so you downloaded the deb package from google and want to install it? or do you want to use the open source chromium one?

[12:25] <shurtagul> -sighs- (sorry to be a nuisance) I have flash installed, but it wont load in either firefox or chromium.
[12:26] <blazemore> shurtagul: How did you install flash?
[12:26] <lotuspsychje> shurtagul: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras also?
[12:26] <shurtagul> blazemore: i used software center
[12:26] <blazemore> shurtagul: You have to close and re-open firefox/chrome, just ruling that out
[12:26] <shurtagul> lotuspsychje: idk what that is, explain?
[12:27] <shurtagul> blazemore: i have
[12:27] <lotuspsychje> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | shurtagul
[12:28] <shurtagul> sorry, im not very experienced, do i sudo apt-get install that?
[12:28] <lotuspsychje> shurtagul: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:28] <shurtagul> ok
[12:29] <lotuspsychje> shurtagul: its worth a try, sometimes fixes
[12:29] <kiwis> then what about remote control?
[12:29] <shurtagul> thanks, its starting
[12:29] <lotuspsychje> !vnc | kiwis
[12:29] <lotuspsychje> kiwis: or teamviewer for ubuntu
[12:33] <Qantouri1c> nobody know how the ubuntu splash screen "works" ?
[12:34] <SwedeMike> !anyone | Qantouri1c
[12:34] <lotuspsychje> Qantouri1c: what exactly you want to achieve?
[12:35] <Qantouri1c> Where does ubuntu deteremen it's resoltion/refreshrate for the splash screen
[12:35] <lotuspsychje> Qantouri1c: is default res bad on your system?
[12:35] <adamk> Qantouri1c: With most video cards, the DRM driver queries the monitor and selects the preferred resolution.
[12:35] <Qantouri1c> lotuspsychje: yes: out of range
[12:36] <Qantouri1c> adamk: so it's drm for cli, aka, framebuffer ?
[12:36] <adamk> Qantouri1c: If you are using one of the DRM drivers that supports KMS, you can force a video resolution on the console with video=XRESxYRES as an option to the kernel.
[12:36] <Qantouri1c> adamk: iirc nvidia(closed) didn't like drm drivers, removing :p
[12:37] <shurtagul> lotuspsychje: the terminal came to an end-user license agreement, am i done?
[12:37] <adamk> Qantouri1c: That sentence makes no sense to me.  It is true that the nvidia driver requires disabling the opensource nouveau driver.
[12:37] <lotuspsychje> shurtagul: accept the agreement and continue :p
[12:37] <shurtagul> lotuspsycheje: how do i accept?
[12:38] <lotuspsychje> shurtagul: cant you press TAB for ok?
[12:38] <Qantouri1c> adamk: atm doubting between nouveau and nvidia...
[12:38] <aiziyuer> if i forget my password, how could i do ?
[12:38] <shurtagul> lotuspsycheje: not too familiar with the terminal, yes i did, thanks
[12:39] <aiziyuer> any one can give me a hand?
[12:39] <lotuspsychje> !password | aiziyuer
[12:40] <Qantouri1c> adamk: hmmm, looks like ubuntu doesn't support nvidia-closed drivers ? drm-nouveau is needed by libgl-mese is needed by xorg :(
[12:40] <aiziyuer> !password | aiziyuer
[12:40] <Qantouri1c> not to mention gnome3 fails with old nvidia-drivers
[12:41] <adamk> Qantouri1c: Ubuntu does support the nvidia proprietary driver. In fact, there are packages for it in the repos.
[12:41] <BluesKaj> adamk, installing the nvidia driver unloads and removes the nouveau driver
[12:41] <adamk> BluesKaj: I never said it didn't.
[12:41] <Qantouri1c> adamk: you can't run drm drivers (by the information given earlier) and be running nvidia and exepct it to work without crashing
[12:42] <adamk> Qantouri1c: Yes, I know this.
[12:42] <Qantouri1c> so that implies removing the nouveau drm drivers, witch can't be done without removing xorg according to the deps
[12:42] <adamk> Qantouri1c: You don't need to remove anything...
[12:43] <adamk> Qantouri1c: Installing the nvidia driver will disable the nouveau driver.
[12:43] <aiziyuer> sorry , i just forget my xchart password, did it work yet?
[12:43] <Qantouri1c> adamk: then how is it giving out of range on the splash screen ?
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> aiziyuer: you mean your nickserv password?
[12:44] <aiziyuer> yeah
[12:44] <Qantouri1c> adamk: you need A driver to ruin this, also gnome3 fails on nvidia-92
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> !nickserv | aiziyuer
[12:45] <adamk> Qantouri1c: At the moment, I have no idea which driver you are using... If you're not using the nouveau driver, then something else is adjusting the terminal resolution.
[12:45] <Qantouri1c> adamk: splash is
[12:46] <aiziyuer> should i register an other on nickname instead?
[12:47] <hadriel>  /msg nickserv identify hadriel
[12:47] <BluesKaj> hadriel, that goes in the server text
[12:47] <shurtagul> so flash wont load on chrome, and i still get a blank screen on firefox :c
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> Qantouri1c: maybe this can help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6033/enabling-nvidia-driver-messes-up-splash-screen
[12:47] <hadriel> yep, had a space in front of it...
[12:47] <lotuspsychje> shurtagul: did you try a reboot?
[12:48] <aiziyuer>  /msg nickserv register fuckusaber<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:48] <shurtagul> lotuspsycheje: not yes :)

[12:49] <chunkyhead> does anyone know how to switch between windows of different channels or irssi?
[12:49] <chunkyhead> on tty
[12:49] <lotuspsychje> vug
[12:49] <chunkyhead> does anyone know how to switch between windows of different channels or irssi in tty?
[12:50] <lotuspsychje> chunkyhead: wasnt it ctrl n ?
[12:50] <Qantouri1c> lotuspsychje: i have the oposite issue, i have high res, but this point me to the stuff that needs a good kicking, thanks
[12:50] <tomreyn> since ubuntu dropped alternative installers, does this mean that full disk encryption is factually no longer supported?
[12:50] <lotuspsychje> !encrypt | tomreyn
[12:50] <tomreyn> lotuspsychje: full disk encryption is not "encrypted private directories", though
[12:51] <tomreyn> i'm referring to FDE with dm-crypt/luks
[12:51] <otak> chunkyhead: also alt-<no.of window>
[12:51] <OerHeks> tomreyn, full disc encryption is now standard option in the ubuntu iso, also lvm/lvm encrypted
[12:52] <BluesKaj> ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 will give you 6 diffiernt windows in irssi if you want to run that many , chunkyhead
[12:52] <tomreyn> OerHeks: "now" refers to which release?
[12:52] <OerHeks> tomreyn, 13.04 last time i checked
[12:53] <tomreyn> i was trying with the 12.04 amd64 ubiquity installer yesterday and couldn't find any mention of dm-crypt, luks, full-disk encryption, encrypted partition/device anywhere (including manual partitioning)
[12:54] <shurtagul> rebooted, still no luck ith flash ;~;
[12:54] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, do you have flashplugin-installer installed
[12:54] <BluesKaj> ?
[12:54] <sotrudnik> shurtagul: flash is slow, buggy, proprietary
[12:55] <shurtagul> yes i do
[12:55] <sotrudnik> shurtagul: and avail only for 1 architecture
[12:55] <shurtagul> sotrudnik: ?
[12:55] <sotrudnik> shurtagul: I don't use Adobe(R) Flash(R) for more than 3 years
[12:56] <lotuspsychje> sotrudnik: what you using as ubuntu alternative?
[12:56] <shurtagul> sotrudnik: you dont watch videos?
[12:56] <sotrudnik> lotuspsychje: hmm? html5
[12:56] <sotrudnik> and sfrom.net
[12:56] <shurtagul> bleh
[12:56] <MonkeyDust> but embedded videos don't always work in chromium, with html5 activated
[12:56] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, suggest you download the linux version of flashplayer and extract it from the tarball , then copy the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[12:57] <sotrudnik> MonkeyDust: you can always download them
[12:57] <shurtagul> BluesKaj: how would i begin to do that
[12:57] <aiziyuer> #qt
[12:58] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, go to the adobe site and download the linux version , think it's the 11.2
[12:59] <tomreyn> actually i guess FDE with 12.04 may be possible using the server installlation image.
[13:00] <shurtagul> BluesKaj: which shousld i download, theres four options
[13:00] <sotrudnik> .deb
[13:00] <sotrudnik> fifth option: nothing
[13:00] <BluesKaj> adobe flashplayer for linux 11.2 version
[13:01] <BluesKaj> sotrudnik, if there's deb , then that's news to me
[13:01] <shurtagul> BluesKaj: i mean, YUM, tar.gz, rpm, or apt
[13:01] <BluesKaj> tar.gz
[13:01] <BluesKaj> is the an apt , the use that
[13:01] <hadriel> Why is my wireless card channel stuck to -1? I can't change it as well, says device is busy.
[13:01] <blazemore> shurtagul: first, try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer"
[13:02] <BluesKaj> blazemore, I had the same issue , it makes no difference
[13:02] <OerHeks> flash works fine with the prop. driver for your videocard
[13:02] <BluesKaj> OerHeks,not for everyone
[13:03] <shurtagul> what should i do with the tar.gz?
[13:04] <sotrudnik> apt would be okay
[13:04] <Bower^Work> does ubuntu have something similar to ctrl+alt+del? since installing ubuntu at work i've sometimes been experiencing unresponsive applications which seems to eventually kill everything else. any ways to diagnose slowdowns/hanging would be appreciated too
[13:04] <chunkyhead> lotuspsychje: ah thanks! usually i use the terminal in that alt+right/left works but on tty it just switches between ttys
[13:04] <BluesKaj> shurtagul,  right click on it and "extract here , folder will appear ., copy the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[13:04] <chunkyhead> otak: ^
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> Bower^Work  alt-f2, then type xkill and click on the frozen application
[13:05] <chunkyhead> otak: actually the one above that
[13:05] <BluesKaj> shurtagul,  then you may have to reboot
[13:05] <Bower^Work> thanks MonkeyDust , i'll keep that in mind for future
[13:06] <shurtagul> BluesKaj: ok, thanks
[13:06] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, i had to install it an hr ago and a reboot was needed to make it work
[13:10] <shurtagul> How do i paste it in the plugins folder :c
[13:13] <bgardner> shurtagul: Extract it to your home directory, then from a terminal do 'sudo cp flashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/'
[13:14] <occ> has anyone installed ubuntu on aspire s7(ultrabook)? on some forums it says you need to disable RAID ..... as i understand it RAID is for combining multiple hard disks, and a lot of ultrabooks have this hybrid setup........ however every shop i go to assures me their s7 only has one hard drive in it... are they wrong?
[13:16] <DeLorean731> I'm new to mounting drives in Linux. I have a drive that is not auto-mounting (yes, the drive has issues, I'm trying to mount it so I can use ddrescue on it). Maybe it's smart to make sure it's actually not auto-mounting correctly. It is not in /media, this means it's not auto-mounting, correct? I also typed "fdisk -l" and did not see it. How can I manually mount it if I don't see it there?
[13:16] <shurtagul> cp: cannot stat `flashplayer.so': No such file or directory
[13:16] <auronandace> !mount | DeLorean731
[13:16] <Bower^Work> shurtagul, make sure you're either CD'ed into the directory flashplayer.so sits on or provide a full path to it
[13:17] <Bower^Work> shurtagul, e.g. ~shurtagul/Desktop/flashplayer.so
[13:19] <Pici> DeLorean731: I don't think you need (or want) to mount the drive to use ddrescue.  I was under the impression that you needed to run it against the device node.
[13:19] <shurtagul> UGH
[13:19] <bgardner> DeLorean731: Also, ddrescue works with unmounted devices, usually.  Be sure to check the docs.
[13:20] <DeLorean731> Pici: Excellent! How do I find the device node? :\
[13:20] <Pici> DeLorean731: Do you know what entry it has under /dev/ ?
[13:20] <DeLorean731> I actually see it on lsusb, but I don't know which it is under /dev/
[13:20] <DeLorean731> I'll try to figure that out, 1 sec
[13:22] <DeLorean731> I see the same number of entries in /dev with the drive plugged in and without it plugged in... I'mg uessing that means it's not showing up under /dev?
[13:22] <bgardner> DeLorean731: Check output from dmesg after plugging it in.
[13:23] <shurtagul> so the .so file is in my home folder, i did "sudo cp flashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/" but its not found
[13:24] <bgardner> shurtagul: Do 'sudo cp flashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | pastebinit' and give us the resulting link.
[13:24] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, just copy it , then alt+f2 , sudo gedit /usr/lib/mozilla/ plugins , paste it there
[13:25] <shurtagul> cp: cannot stat `flashplayer.so': No such file or directory
[13:25] <shurtagul> You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[13:25] <Bower^Work> shurtagul, presumably you aren't in the your home directory on the command line
[13:26] <Bower^Work> like i told you, either CD there and provide a full path to the file
[13:26] <Bower^Work> or*
[13:26] <shurtagul> how do i CD there
[13:26] <Bower^Work> cd ~
[13:26] <BluesKaj> oops let me rephrase that , sudo nautilus /usr/lib/mozilla/ plugins , paste it there
[13:26] <BluesKaj> shurtagul,^
[13:26] <Bower^Work> type fl then press tab
[13:27] <DeLorean731> bgardner: scsi22 : usb-storage 2-1.1:1.0
[13:27] <DeLorean731> is the last line when I plug it in
[13:28] <bgardner> DeLorean731: Do 'dmesg | tail -n 50 | pastebinit' and give us that.
[13:29] <bluethundr> hello.. how do I restart the ssh *client* under ubuntu 13? I checked /etc/init.d and didn't find an ssh service oddly
[13:29] <bluethundr> also tried service ssh restart and service sshd restart
[13:29] <bgardner> bluethundr: The ssh client does not run as a service.
[13:30] <jjavaholic> how would you diagnose indicator-datetime problems?
[13:30] <bluethundr> bgardner: oh ok good to know.
[13:30] <shurtagul> why cant i do this ;;
[13:30] <bluethundr> Any idea how I can fix annoying timeouts on the ssh client side?
[13:30] <Bower^Work> shurtagul, what do you think that does?
[13:31] <shurtagul> i dont understand bower
[13:31] <Bower^Work> you ask why you can't do something. i'm asking what you think that something actually does
[13:31] <DeLorean731> bgardner: sorry for the delay pastebin.com/nkNKSmp0
[13:32] <shurtagul> All i want to do is get this dumb file in this dumb directory
[13:32] <bgardner> bluethundr: Do you have timeouts when you try to connect to the IP address instead of the name?
[13:33] <bluethundr> bgardner: good question. I guess I can try that
[13:33] <bgardner> DeLorean731: That looks like you did the command fresh after a reboot, but before plugging in the device (or it was already plugged in during the boot), is that right?
[13:35] <DeLorean731> bgardner: that is not right at all
[13:35] <blazemore> bluethundr: Edit or create the file ~/.ssh/config and add this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5868091/
[13:35] <DeLorean731> bgardner: it's one of the first things I did after waking the computer from sleep, but I have tons of things open...
[13:36] <DeLorean731> bgardner: also, the device was plugged in while I did that command
[13:36] <DeLorean731> bgardner: lsusb shows the drive interestingly
[13:36] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, look in your /home/user/downloads folder , is the file there?
[13:37] <bgardner> DeLorean731: I don't see anything in the dmesg output that would appear to relate to your device.  That may mean we just didn't capture enough of it.  Do this instead: 'dmesg | pastebinit'
[13:37] <shurtagul> the file is in /home/libflashplayer.so
[13:37] <shurtagul> also just noticed the name of the file, cant remember if it was always like that
[13:38] <LongCatTH> free coupon for codeschool, first come first serve :) http://go.codeschool.com/yp6ONw
[13:38] <shurtagul> i think ive been typing the wrong name for the file
[13:38] <shurtagul> dumb me :c
[13:38] <DeLorean731> bgardner: pastebin.com/EBwcpLu5
[13:38] <Bower^Work> shurtagul, use tab completion. just need to type in the first few characters then press tab
[13:38] <Bower^Work> very handy feature of cli
[13:39] <BluesKaj> shurtagul, then copy that file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin in your file manager
[13:39] <shurtagul> Bower^Work, thanks for the tip
[13:39] <Bower^Work> shurtagul, np problem. that also works for user names and commands
[13:39] <Bower^Work> no*
[13:40] <DeLorean731> bgardner: appreciate your time btw (:
[13:41] <bgardner> DeLorean731: Sure thing, bear with me still reading this output.
[13:42] <DeLorean731> bgardner: zero rush for free help :D
[13:42] <Encrypt> Hi everybody!
[13:42] <bgardner> DeLorean731: While I'm looking, what is the relevant line from lsusb that you referred to?
[13:42] <occ> if i have a laptop with a raid 0 setup in it.... and i go into the bios and delete the raid pattern, then i can install a normal ubuntu 12.04 on either disk? or i have to do some other weird stuff ?
[13:43] <shurtagul> theres a libflashplayer.so in the plugins folder, so either ive been successful and didnt know it, or that file somehow got there in previous attempts to install flash
[13:43] <Encrypt> I'm looking for a way to modify the settings of a UEFI Bios from the command line
