[00:00] <gmachine_24> ..... I think
[00:00] <n00bzz> thanks gmachine_24, walterwoj1
[00:00] <Sepatar> hello
[00:00] <gmachine_24> etfb, well what desktop are you using then?
[00:01] <etfb> gmachine_24: Looks like old Gnome.  Applications and Places menu at the top, taskbar down the bottom.
[00:01] <gmachine_24> etfb, did you try to switch back to unity at the sign in window?
[00:01] <etfb> I'd forgotten I could set it at login.
[00:02] <etfb> Will try now.  Bye!
[00:02] <gmachine_24> log out; log in and let us know
[00:02] <gmachine_24> somewhere in there change the desktop
[00:02] <gmachine_24> Sepatar if you have a question or problem, state your businness................
[00:06] <puppy_parade> if I wanted to use iscsi to mount a zfs pool, would I need zfs installed on the client?
[00:08] <Azelphur> Trying to install Ubuntu and it just hangs here, any ideas? https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fgfc3fost5je7l/2012-12-22%2000.03.44.jpg?m
[00:11] <Jordan_U> puppy_parade: It depends. If the zfs pool contains something other than a zfs filesystem then you could have the server export the pool and then the client doesn't need to know anything about zfs.
[00:12] <machicola> Hello. I'm having issues with Ubuntu 11.10, as far as I can remember they started after I did a kernel upgrade to 3.1 and have gotten progressively worse after. After the kernel upgrade I immediately got the 'purple screen of death' when trying to boot with the newly installed 3.1 kernel. I subsequently used older kernel versions from that point on to bypass the issue. Just yesterday I did a 400mb update and now I get a black screen and no boot into Xwi
[00:12] <machicola> ndows. So I'm using windows 7 just to do IRC here. Any help would be appreicated, thanks
[00:12] <puppy_parade> thanks Jordan_U
[00:12] <gmachine_24> Azelphur, you have enough space etc. on your hd as asked?
[00:13] <Azelphur> gmachine_24: well, it hasn't even got to the partition wizard yet, but yes I do have a 250GB hdd in there
[00:14] <gmachine_24> Azelphur, I'm assuming this is a CD you burned from an iso download. Did you run checksum to make sure the iso is not corrupt?
[00:15] <gmachine_24> Azelphur, other than that, problems typically arise that can be fixed by burning the CD @ the slowest rate possible.
[00:15] <gmachine_24> Azelphur, assuming you have no hardware issues, etc.
[00:15] <Azelphur> usb
[00:15] <Azelphur> I'll try an integrity check
[00:16] <MrGizmo757> i have a question about installing Ubuntu to a USB stick. can sombody here help me out with my questions?
[00:16] <gmachine_24> MrGizmo757 you must ask the question(s)
[00:16] <gmachine_24> we don't read minds
[00:16] <machicola> I did already try booting up with 'nomodeset' by the way, it hasn't worked. Also, on the bootup with older versions at least I'm getting some commandline output and there is a 'starting to load fallback graffics devices [fail]' message
[00:17] <Jordan_U> puppy_parade: You're welcome.
[00:17] <MrGizmo757> Well of course
[00:17] <MrGizmo757> anyways. i want to install Ubuntu to a USB stick. but not as a live image. i want to be able to use it as a full OS. retaining all the stuff i put on it.
[00:18] <MrGizmo757> if i simply select the USB as the drive to use during the installation proscess with it work?
[00:18] <Jordan_U> MrGizmo757: Just do a normal installation, the same way you would to an internal drive.
[00:18] <Azelphur> gmachine_24: check finished with no errors
[00:19] <MrGizmo757> ok.  one more question.  if i install it that way can it be used in diffrent machines?  or only the one i install it from?   you know becuase of configuration with drivers or whatever.
[00:19] <machicola> i think i should have never updated :-( lol
[00:19] <slaptman> hello room :) does anyone know a way to get the weather and news to be displayed on desktop using unityunity
[00:19] <machicola> it was just so damn tempting at the time though
[00:20] <gmachine_24> machicola, I don't suppose you have a full back up somewhere
[00:21] <machicola> I think I may have installed ubuntu so that my home folder is backed up which is all i really care about but I would definitely want to check to be sure before I do anyting
[00:21] <machicola> which I'm not sure how to do
[00:21] <Gentoon> So how can I get an old fashioned Task Bar in Ubuntu Desktop/ Ubiquity whatever it is called..
[00:21] <Azelphur> seems to be working now for some reason, I think it didn't like me not having a mouse plugged in
[00:22] <machicola> i did manage to get to the command line somehow at one point
[00:22] <jrada> !help
[00:23] <machicola> gmachine_24, does it sound like I need to reinstall for the most part?
[00:23] <Gentoon> Anyone?
[00:24] <machicola> what is the best way to do diagnostics when getting a black or purple screen/freezing i.e. failing to boot into xwindows ?
[00:24] <machicola> is there a way to pause all of the CLI screen?
[00:24] <gmachine_24> machicola, I really don't know.
[00:24] <machicola> sometimes theres things that seem like evidence but too fast to read
[00:24] <kaddi> i need to free up 900MB on / to do the upgrade to 12.10, i've already done an autoremove and autoclean
[00:25] <machicola> ok
[00:25] <kaddi> my /home folder is on a separate partition, what can I do?
[00:25] <puppy_parade> is there a way to use second NICs on 2 machines to speed up concurrent data transfers with a direct connection?
[00:25] <machicola> how do you tell if your home folder is a seperate partition?
[00:25] <kaddi> well easiest thing is to remember from when you set it up >.>
[00:26] <gmachine_24> machicola, you can run $sudo gparted
[00:26] <gmachine_24> to see the partitions
[00:26] <kaddi> otherwise you can run df -h in command line and see if /home turns up as a partition
[00:26] <machicola> ok, ty
[00:26] <gmachine_24> or $sudo fdisk -l will tell you how many partitions you have
[00:26] <machicola> how many would I typically have if my home folder was partitioned
[00:26] <machicola> two?
[00:27] <machicola> ok
[00:27] <gmachine_24> machicola, at least 3
[00:27] <slaptman> ?
[00:27] <gmachine_24> machicola, root, home and swap
[00:27] <emily_> can anyone help me? I'm trying to upgrade my pgfplots package for LaTeX...using ubuntu 12.04
[00:27] <machicola> ok, thanks gmachine_24
[00:28] <lickalott> hello all..  jusr rebuilt my server.  have a fresh install of 12.10 on it now.  For some reason I can see the internal network (computer to computer) but i can't ping out or even ping my router.  I've added nameserver to the resolve.conf and restarted.  Any ideas?
[00:28] <gmachine_24> slaptman, you still looking for a weather and  news desktop app?
[00:29] <slaptman> yes please
[00:29] <daftykins> lickalott: got a default gateway?
[00:29] <lickalott> set it up when i set the static IP in "interfaces"
[00:30] <daftykins> uh-huh, got a gateway in there?
[00:30] <daftykins> confirm with route -n
[00:30] <lickalott> true
[00:30] <gmachine_24> slaptman, did you check the desktop apps?
[00:30] <lickalott> but....destination is <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:31] <daftykins> lickalott: can you pastebin the output
[00:31] <machicola> im pretty sure my issue is actually the video driver , i have an ati radeon mobility, but not sure what to do
[00:31] <lickalott> http://pastebin.com/nhVr4SMw
[00:32] <lickalott> i'm ssh'd into it right now using the internal IP so I know the network card works.
[00:32] <daftykins> lickalott: ja that's fine. how strange, reboot didn't alleviate i take it?
[00:32] <lickalott> negative
[00:33] <lickalott> i can ping the host that I'm on right now (my laptop) but can't get to the router.... it's strange
[00:33] <gmachine_24> slaptman, the weather indicator was removed from the date/time app
[00:33] <Guest57164> ok im a geust
[00:33] <gmachine_24> gmachine_24 so you need to install it
[00:34] <daftykins> lickalott: can you get the web admin of the router? i take it it's not configured to ignore ping?
[00:34] <Guest57164> new linux user
[00:34] <daftykins> lickalott: ignore that, guess you set it up CLI only ;D
[00:34] <daftykins> although you could use lynx XD
[00:34] <gmachine_24> slaptman, check the software centre; there are weather apps etc there
[00:34] <lickalott> true daftykins
[00:34] <daftykins> lickalott: revert it to DHCP for a laugh and see what changes
[00:34] <lickalott> k
[00:34] <lickalott> brb
[00:34] <daftykins> lickalott: you could pastebin your interfaces too
[00:35] <Guest57164> so how is every one
[00:35] <shomon> hi, how do I get empathy working with msn messenger?
[00:35] <Guest57164> use pigdin
[00:35] <gmachine_24> Guest57164, you need to please ask a question or state your problem
[00:35] <kaddi> there's about 1GB of data in /var/tmp can I delete these files safely?
[00:36] <gmachine_24> this isn't a regular chat room
[00:36] <Guest57164> nope
[00:36] <daftykins> kaddi: they disappear every reboot. but yes
[00:36] <kaddi> daftykins: will they get recreated before reboot? i want to upgrade to 12.10 and that needs 4GB of free space
[00:37] <kaddi> i only have a 12GB partition, so it's a bit hard for me to make that kind of space.. i'm expecting that after the upgrade and with the packages delted from the cache, there will be more space left
[00:37] <lickalott> daftykins - http://pastebin.com/nj6WAdJr
[00:37] <kaddi> and then i could easily reboot and allow the files to repopulate
[00:37] <daftykins> kaddi: run 'sudo apt-get clean' to get rid of any packages you have atm too. they won't reappear on boot no
[00:37] <kaddi> i did already
[00:38] <kaddi> i also uninstalled all old kernels
[00:38] <kaddi> and ran an autoremove
[00:38] <daftykins> good good
[00:38] <kaddi> still lacking 900MBs though
[00:38] <kaddi> that's why i'm getting desperate
[00:38] <kaddi> what happened to ubuntu fitting on a CD >.>
[00:39] <daftykins> kaddi: you don't have any DVDs? or a flash drive?
[00:40] <kaddi> don't have a cd-drive and my flash drive, isn't that large either >.>
[00:40] <daftykins> lickalott: looks fine that, might be a hardware/driver quirk. no idea what to suggest next i'm afraid, maybe google for your hardware?
[00:40] <lickalott> dhcp works fine
[00:40] <lickalott> static gives me the finger
[00:40] <daftykins> =/
[00:40] <lickalott> did I not set up the interfaces file right?
[00:41] <kaddi> you wouldn't know of a way to get a list of programs that i haven't used in a long time and could remove, by chance?
[00:42] <daftykins> not me no
[00:43] <daftykins> kaddi: got any external HDDs?
[00:43] <kaddi> not with me
[00:43] <daftykins> an upgrade sounds way too risky in that situation tbh
[00:44] <kaddi> it's a dualboot and i have a bootable usb (xpud, only 64MB in size...take that ubuntu ;p)
[00:44] <kaddi> so i'm not worried about my data, as I know that I can recover that
[00:44] <daftykins> ouch
[00:44] <kaddi> xpud being a linux distro, and 64MB is it's size, not the flash drives one ;)
[00:47] <mertzz> halp ploXx
[00:47] <mertzz> hello
[00:47] <napster> How to stream the dmesg to tty?
[00:48] <afuentes> I think i removed my grub partition, i have gpt, uefi and all the stuff... this formating thing has gotten too complex for me :(
[00:48] <afuentes> can anybody help me? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1456025/ ?
[00:48] <Ambrose> napster: I don't think you can, but I could be wrong
[00:48] <napster> ok
[00:48] <Ambrose> napster: Why do you want to do that?
[00:48] <napster> just to get rid `tail -x` stuff
[00:49] <mertzz> i need help determining which i should do, ftp or http when downloading linux mint
[00:49] <Ambrose> napster: tail -x???
[00:49] <afuentes> mertzz, any of those are okay
[00:49] <napster> not very intuitive to execute dmesg every once in a while.
[00:50] <afuentes> napster, /var/log/messages
[00:50] <Ambrose> napster: There shouldn't be a need to, really.
[00:50] <afuentes> you only have to dmesg when looking for problems
[00:50] <afuentes> not once in a while
[00:50] <mertzz> not sure if there is a rule about links but - http://linuxfreedom.com/linuxmint/linuxmint.com//stable/14/linuxmint-14.1-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
[00:50] <mertzz> do i just click one of those
[00:50] <napster> yes I'm looking for problems
[00:50] <afuentes> you can tail -f /var/log/messages
[00:51] <afuentes> or just cat the file
[00:51] <napster> ok
[00:51] <napster> thanks afuentes Ambrose
[00:51] <Patero-ng> anybody wanna do a netplay with me
[00:52] <ShawnRisk> how come my ubuntu 12.10 can't connect to wireless internet when my mac and android phone can?
[00:53] <Gentoon> Is anyone here
[00:53] <Gentoon> I need paste.
[00:53] <mertzz> whats netplay
[00:53] <Patero-ng> is the multiplayer feature of zsnes
[00:54] <kaddi> paste.ubuntu.com
[00:57] <afuentes> anybody here understand uefi,efi, gpt, lvm ? :/
[00:57] <Guest57164> hi room
[00:57] <Ambrose> Hi, I'm trying to use tightvncserver on my Ubuntu 12.10 desktop, but when I start 'vncserver' and login with the client from my other PC, I only see the ubuntu background image (no icons, start menu, etc). I can right click and select a few basic options (new folder, change background image, etc) but can't really do anything. Anyone know what I need to do to get it to load the desktop program thing? Thx
[00:57] <lickalott> daftykins, apparently it doesn't like being setup statically
[00:58] <Guest57164> <
[00:58] <gmachine_24> afuentes, does that pastebin post mean you're having boot problems? sorry... I faded away there
[00:58] <lickalott> any ideas?  i have it ported through he.net and don't want to run the risk of the DHCP addy changing while I'm away
[00:58] <daftykins> lickalott: can you try and lock it down through your router's DHCP scope instead?
[00:58] <daftykins> static lease.
[00:58] <ShawnRisk> how come my ubuntu 12.10 can't connect to wireless internet when my mac and android phone can?
[00:58] <daftykins> lickalott: or if nobody else is around, make a DHCP pool of one addy :D
[00:58] <lickalott> ^5's daftykins....forgot I had that option
[00:59] <daftykins> np :)
[00:59] <afuentes> gmachine_24, yup, im having boot problems... this paste http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1456025/ is from boot-repair to help diagnose
[00:59] <afuentes> im not new in linux, but this has gotten quite complex since i used to format my partitions :(
[01:00] <afuentes> and i need help
[01:01] <gmachine_24> afuentes, yes, I see. That post is way above my pay grade, sorry.
[01:01] <KI4RO> Glad to see you're all here and doing well after 21 Dec 2012!
[01:02] <afuentes> gmachine_24, :(
[01:02] <Ambrose> KI4RO: Got a few more hours in this TZ, but glad to know :p
[01:03] <ShawnRisk> seems no one can help me
[01:03] <KI4RO> Ambrose, LOL...It was supposed to happen at 1111 UTC, so you're safe...Happy Holidays
[01:03] <DarwinSurvivor> I just installed kde (kde-plasma-desktop) and it wouldn't log in due to a memory problem. I fixed it with "sudo ln -s /tmp /var/tmp" but I'm worried it may be a sign of something worse being wrong (I shouldn't have had to do that...)
[01:04] <Ambrose> KI4RO: Ah shit, didn't know, well, guess I won't sent this nasty e-mail to my boss after all then :(
[01:04] <enigmuriatic> hey everyone, i have a few questions about this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[01:05] <dr_willis>  Ambrose  for vnc - you really should set it up to use a very lightweight desktop. or just a window manager. by default it may be trying to use UNITY witch will not work very well over vnc
[01:05] <enigmuriatic> first: when i "dd the whole USB stick to that partition." in step 4 of the Macbook Air section (that's what I have), do dd the actual contents of the usb or do i dd the img file
[01:06] <enigmuriatic> and what command do I use for either?
[01:06] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  i tend to use just openbox over vnc.  it can get very laggy with a full desktop
[01:06] <Ambrose> dr_willis: Ok I will check that out, thx
[01:06] <dr_willis> DarwinSurvivor:  thats weird.. the only thing in /var/tmp here is a kde tmp file.. nothing in /tmp// that i see kde related.
[01:07] <dr_willis> not sure why kde would use /var/tmp instead of /tmp/
[01:07] <Ambrose> dr_willis: I think it might have something to do with booting into text only (init 2 sorta deal), so I'm just changing it back to the default to see if that makes any difference first
[01:08] <KI4RO> Will an IPOD work on an UBUNTU machine?
[01:08] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  vnc can share the current desktop (how vino works) or can have its own stand alone hidden desktops. (how tightvncserver, and vnc4server work)
[01:08] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  you can edit your .vnc/xstartup to run whatever desktop or windowmanager you want
[01:08] <gmachine_24> KI4RO, if you mean can you lead music, etc., yes
[01:08] <gmachine_24> *load music
[01:08] <w0rm-_x> hi, is there a program in Ubuntu where I can link my Hotmail inbox to, instead of using Hotmail website every time?
[01:08] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  text only mode shouldent matter.
[01:09] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  unless kdes kdm is somehow setting up a tmp file for the users
[01:09] <Ambrose> dr_willis: Yeah the xstartup is set to stat Xsession (or something)
[01:09] <KI4RO> gmachine_24, Yes, that is what I meant and thank you
[01:09] <Ambrose> dr_willis: I created a test icon in VNC and now when I reboot into full window mode that icon is on my 'regular' desktop when I physically login
[01:09] <Ambrose> Wasn't expectingi that
[01:09] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  perhaps set it to run whatver command starts  kde if thats what you want. But i always set mine to run a simple window manager . like openbox. or jwm
[01:09] <gmachine_24> KI4RO well once upon a time I used gtkpod; I don't know if that is still around
[01:09] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  your users home is the same.. so it would be the same..
[01:10] <Ambrose> Right
[01:10] <_un_skumpic> ATTENTION! [01:10] <dr_willis> Ambrose:   You CAN have issues ifyou are logged in  to the machine locally and run the same window manager/desktop via vnc. :) or at least it used to be an issue.
[01:10] <_un_skumpic> ATTENTION! [01:10] <Ambrose> dr_willis: Think I'm going to look into vino, thx for the tip
[01:11] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  you want to share the current visible desktop? or have your own hidden desktop? with persistance :) stays alive after you close the client.
[01:11] <Ambrose> dr_willis: Well, at first I wanted the seperate desktops, but now I think it'll be better to have one common desktop between physical and virtual sessions
[01:11] <macs> can anyone suggest a channel for a unbuntu beginner?
[01:12] <Ambrose> dr_willis: Since I rarely use the physical setup, but once and a while it'll be nice if it's the same one that I'm used to using over vnc/rdp whatever
[01:12] <gmachine_24> macs, this is sort of for beginners
[01:13] <Ambrose> dr_willis: You recommend vino then?
[01:13] <gmachine_24> macs, and of course all the forums
[01:13] <gmachine_24> OK I know this is off topic but today was the day when the so-called Anonymous were going to reveal their latest 'exploit'
[01:13] <jrib> gmachine_24: #ubuntu-offtopic please :)
[01:14] <macs> tnx gmachine, guess I'll hang around a little longer, I may learn someth9ing
[01:15] <gmachine_24> !patience
[01:16] <gmachine_24> macs, most people here have been at this for years.
[01:19] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  i never really want to ever share the 'current' visible desktop. ;) i ssh in, start a vnc server on a remote box then connect via a vnc client,.
[01:19] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  i find the vino way to share the currentt desktop is to sluggish
[01:19] <Ambrose> dr_willis: Gotcha.
[01:20] <Ambrose> dr_willis: I just set it up, it's pretty simple. For my needs it'll do the trick :)
[01:20] <dr_willis> Ambrose:  if it lags you to death youknow what to do.,.
[01:20] <joggers> In ubuntu 12.10 how to you reinstall with a template?
[01:20] <Ambrose> Used to have a RaspberryPi + tightvnc + VLC + VLCRemote (for Android) to control the audio output, but I think this will work just as good
[01:21] <Ambrose> dr_willis: But yeah, will have to see how the preformance is now that X is running 24/7
[01:21] <Guest96298> wine question: is there any way to dump print data sent from a wine running app into a file without it being modified by wine (no wineps.drv, winprint, etc.), that is, some kind of piping?
[01:23] <\\Mr_C\\> how does the ls.c32 command work in syslinux?
[01:26] <joggers> In ubuntu 12.10 how to you reinstall with a template?
[01:34] <chazword> Using mdadm I accidentally added one drive to the wrong array.  It's now listed as a spare of md0 instead of md1.  I think it's just the UUID that got changed.  Is there an easy way to fix this?
[01:35] <Nightwatch> remove the drive from array
[01:35] <sp00ky> so I don't have enough free disk space on /boot to run updates.  what files can I remove from that directory to clean things up?
 hello
[01:35] <chazword> Yes, but now the UUID is different, so I can't add it back to the old array.

[01:43] <unheeding> how would i report this bug:  I clicked another song just as the current song was finished playing, the UI shows the next song being played, but the audio is from the song I clicked on.
[01:43] <Guest57164> so i learn to install progz
[01:43] <Guest57164> but i need root
[01:43] <unheeding> right, so you "sudo"
[01:43] <disto> Hej i need help
[01:44] <unheeding> disto, shoot
[01:44] <disto> i just installed Ubuntu 12.10 however it freezes
[01:44] <Guest57164> how do i get root
[01:44] <unheeding> dont' ask questions about asking questions, just ask
[01:44] <disto> I only see a disgusting purpe graphic and mouse cursor
[01:44] <disto> but there is nothing else on the screen
[01:44] <disto> why ?
[01:44] <unheeding> Guest57164, you put "sudo" in front of the command.  It's short for SUperuser DO
[01:45] <Guest57164> i tryed
[01:45] <unheeding> okay
[01:45] <unheeding> you can also... and this is dangerous
[01:45] <Guest57164> sudo apt-get install root donty work
[01:45] <unheeding> oh you don't need to install root
[01:45] <unheeding> root is an account on your computer
[01:45] <disto> would someone care about my problem ?
[01:45] <disto> that Ubuntu sucks! please help!
[01:46] <disto> it freezes i have no control on my computer after i installed it!
[01:46] <sp00ky> daftykins, I have the following files in that directory:  abi-3.2.0-*-generic, config-3.2.0-*-generic, initrd.img-3.2.0-*-generic, System.map-3.2.0-*-generic, vmlinuz-3.2.0-*-generic
[01:46] <unheeding> disto, it could be because your computer can't run 3D effects
[01:46] <sp00ky> daftykins, which ones can I  remove?
[01:46] <disto> neither mouse nor keyboard are operational!
[01:46] <topper4125> Guest57164 to install firefox for example the command would be : sudo apt-get install firefox
[01:46] <unheeding> have you tried Xubuntu?
[01:46] <Guest57164> how do i get rooot
[01:46] <unheeding> I don't recommend this
[01:46] <bazhang> Guest57164, use sudo
[01:46] <unheeding> but if you go "sudo su" you can become root
[01:46] <disto> unheeding what i should do to make it run 3d effects or at least cancel 3d effects ?
[01:46] <Guest57164> i have installed progz that need root
[01:47] <bazhang> unheeding thats not correct
[01:47] <Guest57164> sudo dont do it
[01:47] <unheeding> bazhang, do tell
[01:47] <mike024> guest57164: right click and run with admin rights or something like that wording
[01:47] <bazhang> Guest57164, sure it does
[01:47] <Guest57164> ok i will try
[01:47] <daftykins> sp00ky: any one that's not currently being used. do you know how to use pastebin? i'll help you
[01:47] <disto> unheeding this is the computer i removed Windows 7 do you think it's not capable to run on 3d effects ?
[01:47]  * chazword thinks you guys are being trolled
[01:48] <unheeding> well, it sounds like the x server is shitting itself
[01:48] <bazhang> no cursing please
[01:48] <unheeding> that could be drivers
[01:48] <topper4125> distro, do you have the drivers installed for the video card?
[01:48] <unheeding> bazhang, lol.  I will try to use better analogies.
[01:48] <daftykins> sp00ky: oh saw your other message, sounds like you've only got one kernel in that folder. did you install with manual partitioning?
[01:48] <disto> oh my god! I should have install Pardus!! I knew it! I'M so stupid!
[01:49] <bazhang> disto, wrong channel
[01:49] <Guest57164> ok
[01:49] <sp00ky> daftykins, so here's ls /boot:  http://pastebin.com/0SX9a7rm
[01:49] <sp00ky> daftykins, there was no manual partitioning on this installation
[01:49] <daftykins> sp00ky: ah no you do have tonnes, ok. one sec lemme type
[01:49] <disto> topper4125 yes i have drivers installed for the vid-card
[01:50] <Guest57164> so i need root for zenmap
[01:50] <topper4125> !gksu | Guest57164
[01:50] <mike024> sp00ky: please give output of uname -r
[01:51] <daftykins> sp00ky: run "uname -a" to see which one is currently booted (no doubt 3.2.0-34) then you can uninstall the old with "apt-get remove linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic" and so on, replacing the -23 of course
[01:52] <sp00ky> mike024, daftykins, http://pastebin.com/16hnCHxn
[01:53] <Guest57164> nope dont work
[01:53] <sp00ky> daftykins, can I remove the previous versions of the other files as well?
[01:53] <mike024> sp00ky: So just remove all all those using what daftykins told you
[01:53] <mike024> sp00ky: those commands will get rid of all of tehm
[01:53] <daftykins> sp00ky: they should have gone auto once you run the command i mentioned
[01:53] <mike024> sp00ky: make sure you use that command and not try to manually remove them :)

[02:03] <Guest57164> thats what i need for zenmap
[02:03] <mike024> neo69: please do a sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get check ; sudo apt-get update
[02:03] <mike024> neo69: probably more than you need, but if one doesn't work the other sometimes fixes it :)

[02:13] <KaRmA> what a bunch of tools
[02:13] <unheeding> apologize NOW
[02:13] <Guest57164> i will reboot
[02:14] <Guest57164> it not thay tough
[02:14] <IdleOne> unheeding: take a down a notch or two please
[02:14] <unheeding> this is my zero man
[02:14] <Fudge> chill pill
[02:14] <ceradon> Can some help me please? I have a corrupted flash drive that doesn't allow me to write to it? Any ideas as to fixing this?
[02:14] <Guest57164> i learn to install
[02:14] <ceradon> someone*
[02:14] <neo69> mike024: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1456150/
[02:14] <Fudge> ceradon  have you checked it with fsck
[02:15] <mike024> neo69: oh boy. I'm blind
[02:15] <Guest57164> i mastered windows
[02:15] <Guest57164>  now linux
[02:15] <ceradon> Fudge, What's that?
[02:15] <mike024> neo69: You added a ppa at some point. Just remove that ppa
[02:15] <w0rm-_x> good for you Guest57164
[02:15] <Guest57164> thank u
[02:15] <xangua> neo69: that repository doesn't have packages for precise
[02:15] <Fudge> ceradon  file system check, usually one would boot live media like usb or ubuntu cd and use gparted to check the partition for you or command line fsck /dev/sda1 which ever your drive partition is
[02:15] <Guest57164> i like linux more
[02:16] <w0rm-_x> Yup you gonna have  a lot of fun guarantee
[02:19] <agrippaz_> 12.10 I installed each one of the nVidia drivers on my machine with GTS-250 and now I can't get back to nouveau. i selected it in the hardware drivers area of software sources
[02:19] <agrippaz_> in the system settings now the display only does 800x480 or so
[02:19] <agrippaz_> been struggling all day. any ideas?
[02:20] <ceradon> Fudge, I ran sudo fsck /dev/sdc1, what does that do? Do you want me to paste the output?
[02:20] <Fudge> ceradon  is sdc1 an extra hard drive?
[02:21] <ceradon> Fudge, no it's the flash drive.
[02:21] <magn3ts_> I'm going to cry.  I can build Wayland and GTK and run a nightly kernel, but Wifi is impossible.
[02:21] <agrippaz_> ubuntu makes me cry too
[02:21] <magn3ts_> Maybe the bcm kernel source package doesn't build on purpose because it's broken or something.
[02:22] <w0rm-_x> I make ubuntu cry
[02:22] <Fudge> ceradon  if you install gparted or already have it installed, for you I would suggest you run sudo gparted and right click the thumb drive and check, then apply
[02:23] <eruditehermit> hey, does anyone know how I can tell if my HDD is in AHCI mode or RAID mode or IDE directly from Ubuntu?
[02:23] <magn3ts_> I've had this same issue for the last 5 years, it's incredibly disheartening to come back year after year to find the wifi support so miserable. I'd kill to keep ubuntu on my desktop but everytime I'm driven back to install OS X.
[02:24] <magn3ts_> It doesn't help that one of the drivers is broken - the DKMS module fails to build in 12.10 despite that it was an issue raised in 12.04 as well. Worked around that only to find out that this driver is no better than the original that it ships with out of the box.
[02:24] <Guest57164> thanks for the root
[02:24] <Fudge> magn3ts_  can you look in system settings additional drivers?
[02:24] <magn3ts_> Further, if you make the mistake of installing the bcm-kernel-source, removing it leaves you with *no* drivers.
[02:25] <Fudge> if there are broken dkms modules perhaps dpkg-reconfiguring them will build into the kernel again
[02:25] <magn3ts_> Fudge: the Additional Drivers in software sources is the bcmwl-kernel-source package. I'm currently using it. Fudge, no, it's broken as in the includes in one of the .c files is simply wrong and it hasn't been fixed.
[02:25] <magn3ts_> I fixed it myself, ran dpkg-reconfigure and now have a wifi card that only works when the AC is plugged in :(
[02:26] <magn3ts_> (and if I remove bcmwl-kernel-source it does not fail back over to the original driver. at this point, I'd be happy with that, even if it means my internet crawls at dial up speed)
[02:27] <Guest57164> thank u for the root
[02:27] <Guest57164> int return
[02:27] <Fudge> magn3ts_  that is weird, are there bugs on the problem and can you submit a patch for inclusion for updating
[02:28] <magn3ts_> Both were already done for 12.04 and there is an outstanding issue for 12.10 also.
[02:28] <Guest57164> int return = false
[02:28] <Fudge> oh mate... I can see your frustration then
[02:28] <magn3ts_> Like I said, it seems to have regressed in 12.04->12.10.
[02:28] <Guest57164> "()
[02:28] <bazhang> !ot | Guest57164
[02:28] <Fudge> wtf Guest57164
[02:28] <magn3ts_> :) like I said, I've exhausted quite a few different things.
[02:28] <Guest57164> sorry
[02:28] <magn3ts_> worst part is, it works *really* well when the ac is plugged in.
[02:29] <koppe> power will do that to electronics...
[02:29] <Fudge> is it that package which is causing that or something else like cpufreqd tha tmay be steeling power
[02:30] <magn3ts_> Fudge: I'm not sure, I'm having a hard time knowing how to debug, that is the question that I think is important at this stage though.
[02:30] <Fudge> magn3ts_  i donno mate, start with who maintains it or go see if the same is apparent in debian
[02:31]  * magn3ts_ has a tear roll down his cheek
[02:31] <magn3ts_> Thanks for listening Fudge :)
[02:31] <Guest57164> thanks for the root
[02:32] <magn3ts_> Guest57164: Is there a reason you keep saying that?
[02:33] <Fudge> magn3ts_  np i would say its a text tirgger for thanks
[02:33] <Fudge> trigger
[02:33] <Fudge> thanks prbo triggers it, xdcc or some crap
[02:34] <Guest57164> yes
[02:34] <Guest57164> like i said
[02:34] <Guest57164> learning
[02:35] <IdleOne> thanks Fudge I'm testing
[02:35] <IdleOne> maybe not
[02:36] <Fudge> Guest57164  just be aware mate that if your irc client is spitting out random things you may be flamed or kicked out of some channels if you are mistaken as a bot
[02:37] <Guest57164> nott a bot c3l1
[02:37] <magn3ts_> Sigh, can someone tell me the difference between broadcom-sta-{source,dkms} at least?
[02:38] <Guest57164> boots = 0
[02:38] <Fudge> magn3ts_  any dkms I believe is supposed to detect new kernels and build into it for when you reboot
[02:38] <Guest57164> no packet
[02:38] <magn3ts_> Yeah, but the -source package wants to /remove/ the dkms pkg
[02:38] <Guest57164> aux con null
[02:38] <Guest57164> good to use
[02:39] <Guest57164> packet =0
[02:39] <Flannel> Guest57164: Please stop that.
[02:39] <Guest57164> sorry
[02:40] <Fudge> Guest57164  do you have any ubuntu related questions mate? otherwsie you should leave, fix your irc client and then return when you require support
[02:40] <JPMH> how do we get Guest kicked?
[02:40] <Guest57164> no
[02:40] <Guest57164> sorry
[02:41] <Guest57164> im going off windows
[02:41] <Fudge> JPMH  not sure, hopefully an op has eyes on, because he is not fixing his script
[02:42] <JPMH> its not a script problem - he is a troll
[02:43] <magn3ts_> jesus, the broadcom-sta-dkms has the same problems with the source code
[02:43] <Fudge> !ops
[02:44] <Flannel> Fudge: yes?
[02:44] <Fudge> hi Flannel  regarding Guest57164  if you notice our attempts to help him stop trolling, we just get sorry and it continues
[02:45] <Fudge> magn3ts_  you could get the package source and try and see what is going wrong in the pre and post install scripts
[02:46] <magn3ts_> Fudge: it's the same problem, both of these packages try to include asm/system.h which doesn't exist anymore, period.
[02:46] <Guest57164> ya
[02:46] <Fudge> magn3ts_  see if changelogs say why and bring it to package maintaners attention? unless its directly from debian in that case talk with them
[02:46] <Guest57164> thanks for the root
[02:47] <magn3ts_> it's also already flagged in Launchpad
[02:47] <Fudge> magn3ts_  has it been assigned to anyone?
[02:47] <magn3ts_> I don't know what the deal is. Either way, this didn't fix my problem anyway. Modprobe'd "wl" and I still have no darn devices.
[02:47] <magn3ts_> No.
[02:48] <magn3ts_> here's the STA one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/broadcom-sta/+bug/1069998
[02:48] <magn3ts_> The bcmwl-kernel-source one is assigned at least: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/994255
[02:49] <Fudge> does apport let you submit more info i donno mate, just try to get hold of maintainer, best way I guess
[02:50] <magn3ts_> Phew, finally got it to unload the bcmwl-kernel-source driver and just utilize the broadcom-sta driver. (Which means the "Additional Drivers" dialog broke the revert process, nice.)
[02:50] <magn3ts_> Somehow this makes me think that not a lot of testing happens on Mac devices.  Find some other channel to test on, sheesh.
[02:54] <bazhang> Guest81729, take all chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:01] <magn3ts_> Okay, I've concluded it must be a power saving thing.
[03:01] <magn3ts_> No idea how to fix this though.
[03:02] <magn3ts_> Or why someone's script would have this setting in it. That's what I get for trusting the "you can safely run this script" nonsense.
[03:06] <natarajan> #vnc
[03:06] <natarajan> i have problem in setting up vnc in ubuntu. any help?
[03:10] <magn3ts_> # enable power save on wlan <-  I bet this is the source of all of my nightmares.
[03:11] <magn3ts_> Nope. The driver I'm using doesn't use wl.
[03:11] <magn3ts_> Okay, I'm offering $50 paypal to anyone who can tell me how to fix thsi
[03:13] <w0rm-_x> magn3ts_, fix what?
[03:15] <magn3ts_> That after about 3 minutes off my power supply my wireless stops working. Happens with both the broadcom-sta-dkms and the bcmwl-kernel-source drivers
[03:15] <w0rm-_x> I would help you for fre
[03:16] <w0rm-_x> only if I knew the answer, good luck with that
[03:20] <john1> hi very1
[03:20] <john1> hi every1
[03:20] <john1> i want ask something
[03:20] <john1> can u help me
[03:20] <magn3ts_> just ask.
[03:21] <john1> can ubuntu work on my netbook
[03:21] <john1> asus 1015CX
[03:21] <john1> or i must download UNR
[03:21] <magn3ts_> john1: First Google result for "asus 1015cx ubuntu": http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10687/
[03:22] <john1> thx
[03:22] <magn3ts_> Looks like it should work fine, looks like there are lots of ppl in the forum using it.
[03:22] <PJSingh5000> magn3ts_, it does say, "Standard images of Ubuntu may not work at all on the system or may not work well, though Canonical and computer manufacturers will try to certify the system with future standard releases of Ubuntu."
[03:24] <PJSingh5000> john1, nevertheless, it is promising that they do offer the ASUS EeePC with Ubuntu pre installed.
[03:25] <m0ka> im having a error effective uid is not 0
[03:25] <m0ka> my lap cant use internet even
[03:25] <magn3ts_> PJSingh5000: yeah, I think that's a generic disclaimer, plus john1's gone :)
[03:26] <m0ka> hello ?
[03:26] <PJSingh5000> magn3ts_, he probably couldn't wait to install ubuntu on his eepc!
[03:26] <m0ka> anyone for me ?
[03:30]  * m0ka hello ?
[03:31] <Pros977> Greetings
[03:35] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, just ask your question.  If someone has the knowledge to help with your problem, they'll let you know.
[03:36] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, i did
[03:36] <m0ka> im having a error effective uid is not 0
[03:36] <m0ka> my lap cant use INTERNET even
[03:37] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, oh, I see it further up.
[03:38] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, problem is no body replied
[03:38] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, when do you get this error?  What are you attempting to do?.. just connect to internet?
[03:39] <m0ka> nothing I accidentally added /home/myaccount 777 permission
[03:39] <m0ka> after that I started to get this error
[03:39] <m0ka> now I can run any sudo command
[03:40] <m0ka> PJSingh5000,
[03:40] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, so you've granted full access to your home folder to everyone.
[03:40] <m0ka> i guess PJSingh5000
[03:40] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, you did this on the commandline, using chmod?
[03:40] <m0ka> how can I fix it
[03:41] <m0ka> chmod
[03:41] <m0ka> I dnt know what are the permission it had and can I do without having sudo
[03:42] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, one sec...
[03:42] <Flannel> m0ka: You can change the permissions on your home folder without sudo, yes.
[03:42] <m0ka> Flannel, thanks
[03:43] <m0ka> if you can tell me how . that would be great i want to have the default permissions
[03:43] <m0ka> Flannel,
[03:43] <Flannel> m0ka: Is that the exact command you ran? are you sure?
[03:43] <m0ka> yes
[03:44] <m0ka> actually I didnt run it . one of my friend did . thats what he said what he did
[03:44] <Flannel> m0ka: Alright, to set it back, `chmod 700 /home/myaccount`, but I don't think that's the command, or at least not the only one, since that wouldn't cause a sudo error like that.
[03:44] <m0ka> Flannel,
[03:46] <m0ka> ok
[03:46] <m0ka> wait
[03:46] <m0ka> i'll restart and see
[03:46] <Leif> I'm on ubuntu 12.10 (System76 pangolin performance), and whenver I set a program to start in fullscreen mode, it only shows the top quorter of the screen.
[03:46] <Flannel> m0ka: restarting shouldn't matter at all.
[03:46] <Leif> Does anyone know what would cause that and how to make it show the whole application?
[03:46] <Leif> THank you.
[03:47] <m0ka> :/ lol Flannel already did
[03:47] <PJSingh5000> Flannel, would not m0ka need to include the -R switch with chmod?
[03:47] <Leif> I have no idea how to go about debugging this.
[03:48] <Flannel> PJSingh5000: Not if he didn't include the -R the first time (which he claimed not to).  But even with -R, he wouldn't get that error.  Other errors, yes, but not that error.
[03:48] <Flannel> PJSingh5000: And if he did, simply adding recursion to that command wouldn't be a correct fix anyway.
[03:49] <PJSingh5000> Leif, try going to "CompizConfig Settings Manager", then select "Composite", then check "Undirect Full Screenwindows"
[03:50] <PJSingh5000> Flannel, it looks to me like m0ka is trying to run a command that requires root privileges, and the system is warning him that he is not user 0 (root) ???
[03:50] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, yes thats what happening
[03:51] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Interesting, it worked, but I would also like it to fill the whole screen rather than remaining small.
[03:51] <Flannel> m0ka: What command are you running when you get that error?
[03:51] <PJSingh5000> Flannel, it sounds like m0ka friend tried to get around this by setting permissions on home folder to rwx all.
[03:51] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Is that possible? Otherwise thanks.
[03:51] <Flannel> PJSingh5000: We certainly don't have all of the information, this is correct
[03:52] <PJSingh5000> Leif, well, Compiz does not work well with full screen windows.  This is a work-around that might help.  See if it works, if not, put it back.  (They leave it off by default because it is a bit "glitchy.").  Give it a shot.
[03:54] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Hmm...thanks. I'll see if I can tweek it to work.
[03:54] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Basically, what's happening now is that it just popps up in the upper left corner without resizing anything.
[03:55] <m0ka> Flannel, when I do chmod -R 700 /home/account . Im getting operation not permitted
[03:55] <Flannel> m0ka: Where did the -R come from?
[03:55] <PJSingh5000> Leif, that is wierd.  I guess you can put it back.  What graphich chip does your machine have?
[03:55] <Leif> intell hd 4000
[03:55] <m0ka> Flannel, just wanted to see what happens
[03:55] <Leif> PJSingh5000: intell hd 4000
[03:56] <Leif> PJSingh5000: It's just a syste76 machine
[03:56] <PJSingh5000> Leif, one sec, let me check something...
[03:56] <m0ka> Im not sure what he exactly did . only thing he did . use chmod 777 on /home/account
[03:56] <pigeonor> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[03:57] <Flannel> m0ka: Well, permission denied is a strange error for that if it's *your* home folder.  Something else is going on.  Second, setting everything to execute (700) is not the way you want to 'fix' it either.
[03:57] <PJSingh5000> Flannel, perhaps m0ka needs sudo chmod ?  But this will probably fix his home folder problem, not the uid 0 problem.
[03:58] <Flannel> PJSingh5000: No, you shouldn't need to use sudo on anything in your home folder.  If you have to, something else is wrong and you're going to have more problems.
[03:59] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, getting the same error "sudo : effective uid is not 0 , is sudo installed setuid root ?"
[03:59] <Flannel> m0ka: What command do you get that error with?
[04:00] <m0ka> sudo chmod -R 700 /home/account
[04:01] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Odd, When I unchecked the box, it still stays that way
[04:02] <Leif> PJSingh5000: And it works fine on another game... :/
[04:03] <Patero-ng> I want to know what good media players that can install h.254 codec for players that play hd videos on debian
[04:03] <m0ka> umm Flannel
[04:03] <m0ka> ?
[04:04] <PJSingh5000> Leif, may be it is an issue with the game itself.  You could also try using the latest xorg driver for your intel chip.  I am assuming that "HD Graphics" listed on this page (www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver)  is the same chip you have.
[04:05] <PJSingh5000> Leif, if it is, you could also try putting Option "AccelMethod" "sna" into /etc/X11/xorg.conf as shown here: www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-enable-intel-sna-acceleration-in.html
[04:06] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Okay, reading about it, thanks.
[04:06] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, is it really your home directory you are working with.  What does it say when you type whoami on the command line?
[04:07] <PJSingh5000> Leif, out of curiosity, which game is behaving like this?
[04:07] <m0ka> tell me my account name
[04:08] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, and the folder you are trying to change permissions on has the EXACT name as your account name, right?
[04:08] <Leif> PJSingh5000: The ones I've tried are: Holotz Castle, mupen64plus, portal 2 (via playonlinux), and I know there wre a few others I tried in the past but just deleted them after they didn't work.
[04:08] <Leif> Thanks
[04:09] <m0ka> yes
[04:09] <m0ka> I dont have anyother account
[04:10] <Leif> PJSingh5000: Oh, I think I figured out why it was doing it for mupen64plus, it seems to keep the previous rendering settings unless they are specifically changed.
[04:11] <PJSingh5000> Leif, ha ha.  I guess that's why tech support always asks, "Is it plugged in?" as the 1st question.  Sometimes it's the simplest thing!
[04:12] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, it seems like you don't even have permissions to change your own account.  This was not happening until your friend did something?
[04:13] <Leif> PJSingh5000: True, well it just solves this application, I appreciate the help you gave me though, thanks.
[04:13] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, no
[04:13] <m0ka> :/
[04:13] <PJSingh5000> what do you get if you type "groups" and press enter?
[04:13] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, what do you get if you type "groups" and press enter?
[04:14] <erncic> m0ka: who is the owner & group of your home dir?
[04:14] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, if you could give me a minit ,I have go out .
[04:14] <m0ka> I'll be back in few minits
[04:16] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, when you get back, erncic has a good point.  See what it says if you type ls -l /home.  Your user name should be listed twice (as owner and group) next to your home directory.
[04:21] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, when I type group I have avaible ground i guess I get a list of group names
[04:22] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, does it have your OWN name listed?
[04:22] <m0ka> in group I dont have my name
[04:22] <m0ka> but I have root in it
[04:22] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, Ahh.
[04:23] <m0ka> also in my home dir permission it has my account name and then root as the group
[04:23] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, your user id is in the root group, but you are not in a group that is named after your own user.
[04:24] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, yes I guess :/
[04:24] <m0ka> what can I do for it
[04:25] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, is your name listed if you type the following: less /etc/group
[04:26] <erncic> m0ka: if you type 'id <username>' is your uid & gid 1000?
[04:26] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, press the "Q" key to quit  when you are done looking through the list of groups.
[04:27] <subcool> Hey, is anyone here a real a -hole? - for real.
[04:27] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, in less /etc/group root:x:0:account_name
[04:27] <PJSingh5000> erncic, also why would a user have "root" group membership on a Ubuntu box?  Shuldn't it just be "sudo" membership per a default installation?
[04:28] <Patero-ng> I want to know what good media players that can install h.254 codec for players that play hd videos on debian
[04:28] <skp1> subcool, besides you?
[04:28] <subcool> yeah---
[04:28] <skp1> no
[04:28] <erncic> PJSingh5000, yeah, I am wondering if /etc/passwd or /etc/group got blitzed
[04:28] <subcool> there is always someone...
[04:28] <skp1> subcool, looking for a mate?
[04:28] <subcool> lol - no.
[04:28] <OerHeks> or for a cinnamon ?
[04:29] <subcool> im writing something, and i need a pro's opinion
[04:29] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, your user id does not appear in the listing on a line by itself?
[04:29] <skp1> dont look at me.
[04:29] <m0ka> uid = 1000 (account_name) gid = 0 (root) group = 0 (root) erncic
[04:29] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, what do you mean user id ?
[04:30] <erncic> PJSingh5000, I had him run an 'id <username>'
[04:30] <PJSingh5000> erncic, that output looks wrong.
[04:31] <erncic> PJSingh5000, it is.....
[04:31] <erncic> PJSingh5000, wrong, that is.
[04:31] <erncic> PJSingh5000, without sudo ... yuck!!!
[04:32] <PJSingh5000> erncic, I was thinking m0ka might be able to add himself to a group with his userId, and to sudo group.  But it looks like the group 1000 does not exist.
[04:32] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, my name was in the less /etc/group
[04:33] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, were you or your friend trying to grant root privileges to your userId?
[04:33] <emes> any idea of hardware compatibility for the IdeaPad S405? can't find anything on google
[04:33] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, i have no idea what he was trying to do
[04:33] <Sazpaimon> so I have a live usb stick of 12.04 with persistent storage. How can I upgrade that stick to 12.10 without losing that storage?
[04:36] <erncic> m0ka: 'sudo su' gives you an effective user id error, right?
[04:36] <OerHeks> Sazpaimon, that would be a problem, 12.10 iso is bigger than 12.04
[04:36] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, my initial thought is that you need to create a defaulr group for your user id.
[04:36] <m0ka> erncic, yes
[04:37] <m0ka> PJSingh5000, how can I do without running as root ?
[04:37] <PJSingh5000> erncic, m0ka could run something like groupadd --gid 1000 `whoami`
[04:37] <Tynach> Hello, world. This isn't my question exactly, but my friend's. His computer has an nVidia graphics card, and he tried installing the newer post-release-upgrades drivers through this utility: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=drivers_dialog.png
[04:38] <Tynach> However, he now cannot get the X server to start, and is texting me how to get it up and running.
[04:38] <erncic> PJSingh5000, I don't know if you can run that outside sudo?
[04:38] <Tynach> We wanted to know how to switch the driver from the command line, in the same way said dialog window would do it.
[04:38] <Sazpaimon> OerHeks, so? it's not a dvd, it's a usb stick
[04:38] <Tynach> Anyone have any ideas?
[04:38] <mns> how do I permanently disable the touchpad in 12.04 ?  I'm running it on a thinkpad
[04:38] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, I am WONDERING if perhaps you actually can become root on that system of yours?  What happens if you type su root   ?
[04:39] <komputes> mns: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65951/how-to-disable-touchpad
[04:39] <OerHeks> Sazpaimon, "without losing that storage" is the problem, back it up and restore it after a fresh 12.10 install
[04:39] <erncic> PJSingh5000, no password as a default in Ubuntu, unless his friend changed that.
[04:39] <Leif> PJSingh5000: lol, it also turns out that changing it to full screen changes the output sound device (from hdmi to my laptop speakers...)
[04:39] <Sazpaimon> OerHeks, I'm not installing ubuntu
[04:40] <Sazpaimon> I'm using a live usb stick with a persistent storage loopback file
[04:40] <m0ka> asking for a password
[04:40] <PJSingh5000> erncic, I know.  I'm wondering if they setup root w/ a password.  Looks like they were trying to do something like that.
[04:40] <m0ka> I havnt set a password for root
[04:40] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, try your password
[04:40] <m0ka> auth fail
[04:40] <PJSingh5000>
[04:40] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, ok
[04:40] <erncic> PJSingh5000, yeah...
[04:40] <Tynach> Try sudo su root, not sudo su.
[04:40] <Tynach> Er, not su root.
[04:41] <erncic> m0ka, if you type 'groups', do you see sudo in the list?
[04:41] <PJSingh5000> Tynach,the user m0ka is working with is not a member of sudoers
[04:41] <Tynach> Ah.
[04:41] <OerHeks> Sazpaimon, well yes, you install the live iso to the stick, but it takes more space, so it overwrites your persistent part.
[04:41] <Tynach> Maybe su into a user that is, then sudo su.
[04:41] <m0ka> erncic, no
[04:41] <mns> komputes: I've tried that already.  it only works for a short time.  then itt gets enabled again somehow.
[04:41] <Sazpaimon> OerHeks, well, what happens if I do do-release-upgrade from within the live usb session?
[04:42] <Sazpaimon> will it break everything?
[04:42] <komputes> mns: odd worked for me, let me try rebooting
[04:42] <WeThePeople> this is what happens when i drag and drop from the search menu(tab)>>> http://imgh.us/Screenshot_from_2012-12-21_22:39:16.png
[04:42] <WeThePeople> how do i fix this
[04:43] <m0ka> Tynach, error  "sudo : effective uid is not 0 , is sudo installed setuid root ?"
[04:43] <erncic> PJSingh5000, I don't know what to do here except booting a live cd and repair his groups.
[04:43] <WeThePeople> it does not display the icon image
[04:44] <m0ka> erncic, if I boot with a live cd can u tell me what to do ?
[04:44] <WeThePeople> i think i know why, it is root
[04:45] <Sazpaimon> okay well that didnt work
[04:45] <erncic> m0ka, I am looking for a guide or something... I would not want to fumble my way through it via IRC.
[04:45] <Sazpaimon> so basically what I need to do is backup casper-rw and  re-flash the usb stick with 12.10?
[04:45] <Sazpaimon> will that work?
[04:45] <OerHeks> Sazpaimon, yes
[04:45] <PJSingh5000> erncic, it is still a big job.  He has to create all of the default groups.  I think the sudo group doesn't exist at all on his system.
[04:46] <erncic> PJSingh5000, I know... is a reinstall going to be easier or not...
[04:46] <Sazpaimon> OerHeks, but wouldnt the contents of casper-rw still have precise on it?
[04:47] <Zeus> Anyone active and willing to help?
[04:47] <Sazpaimon> because I'm looking at casper-rw, and I'm seeing a lot of stuff like /var/lib/dpkg/status that would conflict with whatever is on quantal
[04:48] <PJSingh5000> erncic, suppose m0ka dis a mv to his home folder to to some other name, like "backup".  Then he does a reinstall, but makes sure NOT to select format.  After the reinstall, he will have all of his home folder settings, and data.  Then he can copy his files from the backup folder into the new home folder.  I'm sure he can also copy his settings from backup, also.  But there's got to be a simpler, less risky way????
[04:49] <PJSingh5000> erncic, *dis = did
[04:49] <m0ka> :/
[04:49] <erncic> m0ka: see if this makes sense to you... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[04:49] <Sazpaimon> honestly I dont think what I want is possible
[04:50] <Zeus> What is the name of Unity's dock's feature, which allows the app icons to behave both as launchers and as window buttons
[04:50] <Sazpaimon> i cant run do-release-upgrade because I only have a 2GB persistent FS and it's mostly full
[04:51] <Sazpaimon> so I guess I need to start fresh.. oh well
[04:51] <m0ka> erncic, lets see what happens
[04:51] <m0ka> i'll try
[04:51] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, this could help...  ccollins.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/restore-default-ubuntu-groups/
[04:51] <erncic> m0ka: feel free to ask questions as you go if you need.
[04:52] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, however, you NO LONGER have the default Ubuntu grous, as far as I can tell.
[04:52] <machicola> why is it sometimes when i do 'fdisk -l' i get no output
[04:53] <acu_> what is the most beautiful scifi tech theme for kde ?
[04:53] <erncic> m0ka, it is up to you, a reinstall would fix any other little "fixes" that were thrown in there... might be a better way to go.
[04:53] <acu_> machicola, you need to be sudo or root
[04:55] <machicola> acu_ is that typical that I wouldn''t get an error message? i.e. just returned to user@suchandsuch
[04:55] <machicola> its not giving me a msg for need to be root
[04:55] <acu_> machicola, yes, you would not get any special message - if you have no rights - the command is not available
[04:55] <acu_> you need to add yourself to sudoers
[04:56] <PJSingh5000> m0ka, do have important data on your machine?  Do you happen to have a separate partition you could copy it to?  If not, use the cp -R command to at least copy your current home/<userid> folder to something else.  Be sure to NOT reformat when you reinstall.
[04:56] <machicola> ok, ty
[04:56] <machicola> gonna try again
[04:56] <erncic> PJSingh5000, he needs sudo to do the restore ubuntu groups.
[04:57] <PJSingh5000> erncic, it's a "catch 22"
[04:58] <erncic> PJSingh5000, exactly.... Yuck, like I said before.
[05:01] <RollinV2> remember, cp command is non destructive, mv command is destructive.
[05:03] <Tynach> Well, my friend got his drivers sorted out. Later all.
[05:16] <PJSingh5000> In 12.04 the Light DM "user background" feature can read from /home/<user>/Pictures. But in 12.10, only user backgrounds from /usr/share/backgrounds/ are shown on the Light DM screen. Did Canonical disable this flexibility of the "user background" feature without telling us, or is my system messed up?
[05:17] <arkiver> I have an executable called adb. Now Every time i execute I need to give sudo . I know i need to add the path to adb somewhere so that it doesn't require sudo everytime. Can anyone tell me how to do that ?
[05:19] <PJSingh5000> arkiver, it sounds more like adb requires root privileges to run, rather than needing to specify it's location.
[05:23] <devnill> How can I change my nameserver so it can survive a reboot?
[05:23] <magn3ts_> devnill: your nameserver or your hostname?
[05:24] <devnill> nameserver
[05:25] <magn3ts_> devnill: how are you setting it now that it's not persisitng?
[05:25] <devnill> magn3ts_: Resolv.conf
[05:25] <magn3ts_> devnill: do you use network-manager?
[05:26] <devnill> no?
[05:26] <acolytetojippity> Is it possible to bridge a wireless internet signal and output it via a laptop's ethernet port?  Running 12.10.
[05:26] <magn3ts_> acolytetojippity: sure.
[05:27] <magn3ts_> they're network ports, doesn't matter which direction you go with it. I use network-manager to do that without issue.
[05:27] <acolytetojippity> magn3ts_, would a windows desktop be able to use the port then?
[05:27] <magn3ts_> devnill: sorry, I can't help, I was thinking "dns server" when you wrote nameserver.
[05:27] <magn3ts_> acolytetojippity: sure.
[05:27] <devnill> ah, yeah
[05:28] <devnill> I want to make it so I can point it to <IP_ADDRESS> instead of whatever the router uses
[05:28] <magn3ts_> acolytetojippity: I've used it with an Xbox. as long as the internet connection sharing bit also runs a dhcp server it should be easy.
[05:28] <acolytetojippity> magn3ts_, sweet.  are there any special stept to take, or is it as easy as bridging a connection on windows?
[05:28] <magn3ts_> devnill: do you use a desktop environment?
[05:28] <magn3ts_> devnill: like gnome?
[05:28] <devnill> I do, I'm running xfce
[05:28] <magn3ts_> devnill: you should be able to set that from xfce's network config gui...
[05:28] <magn3ts_> devnill: you are just setting the dns servers, I recognize <IP_ADDRESS>....
[05:29] <devnill> yeah
[05:29] <acolytetojippity> magn3ts_, wait, as long as what runs a dhcp server?  I'm looking to bridge my house's wifi through to my non-wireless-anabled desktop.
[05:29] <kylescottmcgill> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> are google dns servers
[05:29] <magn3ts_> <IP_ADDRESS> predates Google.
[05:30] <magn3ts_> <IP_ADDRESS> is though, along with <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:30] <devnill> there is a section for 'additional dns servers'
[05:30] <devnill> but it still is using the default
[05:30] <magn3ts_> acolytetojippity: just try it, you could've activated it half a dozen times in the time you've been here :)
[05:30] <magn3ts_> devnill: how do you know?
[05:31] <devnill> OpenDNS filters .onion sites
[05:31] <devnill> and i'm getting an openDNS page whenever i try to resolve
[05:31] <magn3ts_> devnill: depending on what you're doing, you might be better off running tails in a VM.
[05:31] <devnill> tails?
[05:31] <magn3ts_> https://tails.boum.org/
[05:32] <devnill> i'm a little tempted to gut the ubuntu method for resolv.conf
[05:32] <devnill> I don't get what benefit it even has :P
[05:32] <magn3ts_> it's a secure small linux distro that boots into a relatively safe environment for getting on tor. It catches all of the things that most people aren't aware will leak their identity.
[05:32] <erncic> devnill, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base - add the nameserver in there to persist.
[05:32] <acolytetojippity> lol, i won't have the opportunity until tomorrow when i get home for christmas break.  My room back in my 'rents house doesn't have ethernet.  I'm trying to iron out any issues that I can and understand what to do before i am without internet to ask these questions
[05:32] <devnill> thanks!
[05:32] <magn3ts_> devnill: you /are/ connecting to tor right?
[05:32] <devnill> i am
[05:32] <magn3ts_> Okay :) just checking.
[05:32] <devnill> the torcheck site says so at least :P
[05:33] <magn3ts_> anyway, tails is impossible to screw up.  Just depends on how careful you need to be. also, I'm veering off topic. good luck.
[05:34] <magn3ts_> acolytetojippity: you should be good to go. I didn't even google it. Just tried it and it worked exactly as I expected. Edit Connections -> Wired Connection -> edit -> IPv4 settings -> Share to other computers. And you're good to go.
[05:34] <Mechdave> devnill, if you are running a web server on that machine. You will need to lock down apache.I had a case once where someone in China tried to relay email through my php install
[05:35] <acolytetojippity> magn3ts_, sweet.  I was just worried about the windows/linux interplay.  thanks for the help!
[05:35] <devnill> Mechdave: Its OK, i'm not running apache, this is basically a glorified thin client
[05:35] <magn3ts_> acolytetojippity: oh, it's all TCP at that point, no need to sweat.
[05:35] <devnill> Also, iptables
[05:35] <magn3ts_> oh and he's gone. heh.
[05:38] <magn3ts_> I can't get over how slow #ubuntu is. Is it because of the holidays?
[05:38] <MrWibbles> hey
[05:38] <MrWibbles> what graphics card should i get
[05:38] <magn3ts_> (and by slow I mean inactive, not latency slow)
[05:38] <peepsalot> hello, i have  athinkpad w510 and my lcd backlight brightness controls don't work after upgrading to 12.10.  it shows the OSD brightness bar moving but no change in brightness occurs
[05:39] <MrWibbles> graphics / mboard should i get for an ubuntu machine?
[05:39] <magn3ts_> MrWibbles: that depends.
[05:39] <MrWibbles> i only want one so i can have 3 or 4 monitors
[05:39] <MrWibbles> otherwise i'd just use onboard
[05:39] <magn3ts_> MrWibbles: mobo shouldn't be an issue if you go mainstream. what are you looking to do with the graphics card? Game or .... Oh.
[05:39] <MrWibbles> nah no games
[05:39] <magn3ts_> Yeah, that was going to be my advice. I can't advise for more than 2 monitors, sorry.
[05:39] <MrWibbles> maybe run photoshop in a windows vm
[05:40] <magn3ts_> (meaning I can't give you any helpful advice, because I don't know, not saying I'm discouraging you from using 4 monitors :P)
[05:40] <MrWibbles> oh yeah.. maybe i'll just stick with two
[05:40] <peepsalot> anyone know how to get my brightness to work again?   it seems to work during bootup, but noth once x starts
[05:40] <MrWibbles> but it would be nice to have the security camera feeds on the other one
[05:40] <MrWibbles> ones*
[05:41] <magn3ts_> MrWibbles: I would *assume* that if my nvidia card/driver will drive two that it would drive two more on my other outputs, I literally just haven't tried, and currently don't have the working monitors to do so or else I'd give it a shot for you.
[05:42] <peepsalot> hrm, it works if i switch to virtual console temporarily
[05:42] <magn3ts_> Otherwise, I lean nvidia but not for a super great reason. It's worked well in the past.
[05:42] <magn3ts_> peepsalot: are the keys not bound correctly under your DE?
[05:42] <magn3ts_> peepsalot: (I'm just guessing here)
[05:42] <MrWibbles> yeah i always use nvidia usually
[05:42] <peepsalot> magn3ts_, like i said the OSD controls show in gui, but it doesn't really change brightness
[05:43] <magn3ts_> peepsalot: :(
[05:44] <arkiver> I am trying to run flashtool on my ubuntu. " No Java in specified path in JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun " How do i solve this ?
[05:44] <MrWibbles> has anyone tried using TPM with ubuntu?
[05:44] <magn3ts_> MrWibbles: I'd love to! I have an article you might like, let me find it.
[05:45] <magn3ts_> (I can't because I have a Macbook Air)
[05:45] <magn3ts_> The article talks all about locking down a laptop... all the way to keep the OTF FDE key in the CPU rather than in memory. :D
[05:45] <magn3ts_> Preventing cold-boot memory attacks. Very cool stuff.
[05:46] <MrWibbles> yeah.. i've got to come up with a server
[05:46] <MrWibbles> which i can give to other people
[05:46] <MrWibbles> and it has to be next to impossible to reverse-engineer the software
[05:46] <MrWibbles> without just seeing the interface and copying that :)
[05:46] <MrWibbles> haha
[05:47] <magn3ts_> Uh. That's not going to work :/
[05:47] <magn3ts_> If they can boot it, they can read the bits off the disc...
[05:47] <ClientAlive> I want to install modelio on my 12.04 64 bit system. I tried doing it once about 6 mos ago to no avail. I think I'm missing some required libraries or something. Can anyone please help me get this thing successfully installed? Details about the problem and what libraries are needed can be seen here -> http://pastebin.com/KJsHy2J0
[05:47] <MrWibbles> magn3tn: nah, disk encryption
[05:48] <magn3ts_> but then they can just read the decryption key out and then decrypt the disk...
[05:48] <magn3ts_> they'll have the key or else they'lll never be able to boot it?
[05:48] <MrWibbles> nah decryption key is stored on the TPM key
[05:48] <MrWibbles> TPM chip
[05:48] <ClientAlive> can someone please walk me through this cause I really want to start learning about this software and what it does
[05:48] <MrWibbles> and they are built to be impossible to get it off
[05:49] <magn3ts_> MrWibbles: I'd freeze the RAM and then pull the binary out of memory and dasm it.
[05:49] <magn3ts_> Obviously that's ramping up a bit. TPM+FDE would be good.
[05:49] <MrWibbles> what's in memory isin't going to be very useful
[05:49] <MrWibbles> that's not nice code.. easy to edit
[05:50]  * magn3ts_ coughs and it sounds like "open source is cool though :("
[05:50] <magn3ts_> either way, good luck, we're off topic and the new episode of Fringe is up and I'm shaking from excitement to watch it.
[05:51] <MrWibbles> lol
[05:51] <MrWibbles> is it any good?
[05:54] <jrp> Hi, Im having some difficulty setting up kvm and was hoping for some guidance. I have one network card and two ip addresses, Id like the kvm host to get one, and the guest to get another. I cannot seem to find the appropriate incantation to get /etc/network/interfaces to be happy with this
[05:58] <MrWibbles> hey
[05:59] <MrWibbles> can i use http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Q67M_DOTPM/#specifications this motherboard with ubuntu?
[05:59] <ClientAlive> ok, so I'm gooling for what the ubuntu equiv is for "libatk" and I see something that doesn't exaclty match it but has "libatk" in the name. So I do a search in synaptic for libatk and get a butload of stuff with that in it but not exaclty the way the requirement lists it (as merely "libatk"). How do I find out what one I really need?
[06:01] <ironfoot495> I have never been as ftrustrated as I am now. I need help with ubuntu 12.04 it is the worst OS I have ever seen I have audio and video and php problems is there anyone who0 can striaghten this out for me?
[06:02] <Otacon22> Hello, how can I change the default kernel image path?
[06:02] <ironfoot495> .please help!!!!
[06:02] <Otacon22> I don't want to have the kernel in /boot/vmlinuz-linux
[06:02] <Otacon22> but, for example, in /boot/vmlinuz-linux-ubuntu
[06:02] <Otacon22> since I use two distros with the same /boot partition
[06:03] <ironfoot495> I guess maybe I'm stuck.
[06:04] <chirag1> Is there a CD version of Ubuntu install? My old computer only has CD drive
[06:05] <chirag1> ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386 is 753MB
[06:05] <Patero-ng> there are alternative versions read about it they weight less
[06:05] <Patero-ng> or use debian
[06:06] <chirag1> Where are the alternate versions located at?
[06:06] <DaemonicApathy> chirag1: 12.04 should still be available, and easily put on a CD.
[06:06] <DaemonicApathy> You can also upgrade to 12.10 from there, if you so choose.
[06:06] <chirag1> ok thanks!
[06:07] <dr_willis> chirag1:  lubuntu 12.10 fits on cd also
[06:07] <dr_willis> chirag1:  is the pc 64bit? or does it support pae?
[06:08] <chirag1> 12.04 would do it :)
[06:08] <chirag1> Its a 32bit machine
[06:09] <Patero-ng> I have a 16bit machine running ubuntu 12
[06:11] <chirag1> I had this Desktop for my dad about 4 years ago and it got super slow. Im excited to fix it up and put it back on his desk :)
[06:11] <chirag1> Thanks guys 12.04 burned good.
[06:13] <magn3ts_> Patero-ng: pfft, I have to make due with 15.  Can someone look at this and tell my my current status after all that? Did I break something? Is there something I need to do?  http://pastebin.com/zXTxajen
[06:29] <ClientAlive> thx
[06:34] <Rengistan> can anyone tell me how to connect Micromax dongle on ubuntu 12.10
[06:34] <Rengistan> ?
[06:34] <Sven_vB> Rengistan, what kind of dongle is that?
[06:35] <Rengistan> its use to connect internet
[06:35] <Rengistan> from gprs connection of simcard
[06:35] <Rengistan> 2g/3g
[06:35] <Rengistan> it need one access point/apn to connect
[06:35] <tomreyn> ClientAlive: those packages weren't actually installed because it was impossible to resolve dependencies.
[06:36] <Sven_vB> so basically it's a USB-connected modem?
[06:36] <ClientAlive> tomreyn: thank you for clarifying. I wasn't sure what it meant.
[06:37] <tomreyn> ClientAlive: welcome. what are you trying to accomplish?
[06:37] <Rengistan> Sven_vB: yes
[06:37] <ClientAlive> install an app called modelio  Details: http://pastebin.com/KJsHy2J0
[06:39] <tomreyn> Rengistan: does it look like this? http://www.newtechnology.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Micromax-MMX-352G.jpg
[06:39] <ClientAlive> I think I'm making some headway. Been googling the library names+ubuntu 12.04 and using synaptic (among other things)
[06:39] <Rengistan> tomreyn: exactly
[06:40] <tomreyn> ClientAlive: generally, don'ttouch libc, it's a very good way to shoot your feet
[06:41] <tomreyn> ClientAlive: by "don't touch" i mean you shouldn't try to upgrade or downgrade it to some other version (other than security updates, of course)
[06:42] <lemonsparrow> how to ssh a server over a proxy /
[06:42] <ClientAlive> tomreyn: oh, ok. don't want to break anything, just want modelio. I remember the last time I treid to install it was a real pain - and I never did get it working.
[06:42] <tomreyn> lemonsparrow: what kind of proxy, one you choose or one that is enforced on you?
[06:43] <Sven_vB> Rengistan, you could try general modem tutorials for the hardware part, then the ixconn or MWconn tutorial for the wireless connection part.
[06:43] <Rengistan> Sven_vB: link?
[06:43] <Rengistan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer ?
[06:43] <Sven_vB> Rengistan, i don't have one at hand, sorry
[06:45] <lemonsparrow> tomreyn: one which is enforced on me.. my network is over a proxy.. so to ssh I have to also get through the proxy ryt ? so I cant simply do ssh  -p 22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:46] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Have a look here --> http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/sshproxy.html
[06:47] <FireAndIce> Hi everyone!!
[06:47] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I am following these steps.. I guess the same thing.. http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php is that ok ?
[06:47] <FireAndIce> How to shorten urls from the terminal?
[06:49] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, So you are tunneling ssh through port 80 to get through a firewall?
[06:50] <lemonsparrow> no 3128
[06:51] <Magoogle> Morning!
[06:51] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, righto same deal. As long as you have corkscrew working properly and you have your ssh server set up correctly it should all be good :)
[06:52] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I installed corckscrew and now I get this error :   /bin/bash: line 0: exec: corkscrew: not found ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[06:52] <tomreyn> FireAndIce: https://startpage.com/do/search?q=url+shortener+api+bash+OR+perl+OR+python
[06:53] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, are you trying to use an authenticated proxy?
[06:53] <Magoogle> anyone running ubuntu on a XIOS DS?
[06:53] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: means ?
[06:53] <ranjan> Hi all, how can i make a archive mirror of a particular ubuntu release?
[06:54] <ranjan> I prefer rsync for the same.
[06:54] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, I mean, when you use the proxy do you have to put in a user/password combination?
[06:54] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes
[06:54] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I guess it should automatically prompt for pwd while sshing ryt ?
[06:55] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Right then you have to set up ssh to auto authenticate through the proxy and then authenticate with yo
[06:55] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, your ssh server
[06:55] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: how to check if corkscrew got installed or not ?
[06:56] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: how to do that ?
[06:56] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: my ssh config looks this now :
[06:56] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, have a look in /usr/local/bin for the binary
[06:56] <lemonsparrow> Host *     ProxyCommand corkscrew usern@host:3128 %h %p
[06:56] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: u mean ls in /usr/local/bin ? I didnt find corkscrew folder in there
[06:57] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Have a read on the same page about Other Tricks with HTTP-Proxies
[06:57] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: $ corkscrew The program 'corkscrew' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install corkscrew
[06:57] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, make sure you can run corkscrew from a terminal
[06:57] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: can I install corckscrew using apt-get ?
[06:57] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes I am running it from terminal only :)
[06:58] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, yes you can apt-get install corkscrew
[06:58] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: i did it and now it shows stuff
[06:58] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: so now leme try sshing again
[06:59] <toxidxd> Привет)
[06:59] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, cool now have a look below the heading Other Tricks with HTTP-Proxies on the setup page youhave been following... That will tell you how to authenticate through a proxy
[06:59] <MonkWitDaFunk> hi ppl of.ubuntu channel. where i.volunteer in.computer recycling, they promote the use of ubuntu. i have a question relating to.security. i use free avg and i wanted to be able to see my entire directory.tree to run a full system.scan
[06:59] <toxidxd> пффф
[07:00] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> Hey Whats The Best Deb List for ubuntu to have?
[07:00] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I dont get corkscrew error now but this ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[07:00] <Blue1> MonkWitDaFunk: I guess the question is why are you running an a/v scanner on Linux?
[07:01] <MonkWitDaFunk> i cant trust using a system.without security.software
[07:01] <MonkWitDaFunk> blue1 do.you run antivirus and antimalware?
[07:01] <Blue1> MonkWitDaFunk: ahh - I have been running Linux for over 7 years, and have NEVER run an a/v scanner.
[07:02] <tomreyn> !av | MonkWitDaFunk
[07:02] <MonkWitDaFunk> :( i need help.with using.free.avg
[07:02] <Blue1> what tomreyn said.
[07:03] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: dude help :)
[07:03] <magn3ts_> Saying you can't trust a system without security software is a statement that literally makes no sense.
[07:03] <Blue1> MonkWitDaFunk: try a windows channel - sorry
[07:03] <tomreyn> [_-S1L3NC3-_]: what's a "deb list"?
[07:03] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Now you possibly have a problem with your ssh server... The proxy asked you for your user/password?
[07:03] <magn3ts_> Just imagine that linux has the antivirus software built in.
[07:03] <tomreyn> !ru > toxidxd
[07:03] <magn3ts_> effectively.
[07:04] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, I have to go to dinner... Will be back in a hour or so
[07:04] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: no
[07:04] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: just 3 minutes please
[07:04] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I wonder if they blocked my static ip after continous failed attempts
[07:06] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, quite possibly... Maybe leave it for a couple of hours :)
[07:07] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: huh... fine but do you really see any issue from our end ?
[07:07] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: no ryt
[07:09] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: ?

[07:22] <szx> hi, what is the difference between "fglrx" and "fglrx-updates" in Additional Drivers tab in Software Center?
[07:22] <mah454> Rajvi: check CD/DVD
[07:23] <mah454> Rajvi: check md5sum of iso
[07:23] <Pascal> Hh
[07:23] <Rajvi> mah454: that is the only troubleshooting left. How to do it?
[07:24] <mah454> Rajvi:  use md5sum command
[07:24] <Rajvi> My question might be silly, pardon me :(
[07:25] <Rajvi> can i use any windows tools to do the same?
[07:28] <melkor> Does Xfce use 3d effects?

[07:37] <m0ka> thats the exact error bazhang
[07:37] <bazhang> Guest75116, its a bot
[07:37] <melkor> m0ka: what command are you running?

[07:39] <bazhang> !brain | alimj
[07:39] <m0ka> erncic, a shitty friend happend
[07:39] <bazhang> m0ka, no cursing here
[07:39] <alimj> Thanks
[07:39] <m0ka> bazhang, sorry I didnt mean it as a curse . sorry everyone
[07:40] <erncic> m0ka:  i know... how did the fixsudo stuff go?
[07:40] <m0ka> so bazhang help ?
[07:40] <m0ka> erncic, didnt work
[07:40] <melkor> m0ka: have you tried restarting? Did you friend have sudo access?
[07:40] <m0ka> melder, yes
[07:40] <melkor> m0ka: to both questions?
[07:40] <erncic> m0ka: so still no sudo?
[07:41] <m0ka> melder, its my laptop . my friend was using it .. he went home and Im with no sudo now
[07:41] <m0ka> erncic, yea still no sudo
[07:41] <m0ka> it was working fine before
[07:41] <hacktard> hi I am on ubuntu 12.10 trying ICS with windows 7. the win 7 laptop keeps showing "identifying" for the adapter
[07:42] <m0ka> even I googled error "sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?" dont have much links to go on only 6 pages result
[07:43] <erncic> m0ka: 'groups' now contains 'sudo'?
[07:43] <melkor> m0ka: if he didn't have sudo access it would be very odd that he could change anything. And you'll have trouble modifying anything, such as the groups file, without sudo.
[07:45] <hacktard> hi
[07:45] <hacktard> I am unsure if my messages are going to the room.
[07:45] <bazhang> they are
[07:46] <m0ka> erncic, sudo is not in groups
[07:46] <hacktard> thank you. have you tried Intenet connection sharing with wireless network on ubuntu?
[07:46] <Ja1> heya
[07:47] <ganesha> hi?
[07:47] <erncic> m0ka: the fixsudo website- did you have any problems?
[07:47] <ganesha> no/
[07:47] <alimj> hacktard: How do you want to share? Do you have ADSL, Cable? Do you have access point? or you want to make Ubuntu the access point?
[07:47] <m0ka> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo right ?
[07:47] <ganesha> hathway
[07:48] <m0ka> no I didnt have any issue
[07:48] <m0ka> wait
[07:48] <erncic> m0ka, yes
[07:48] <bazhang> ganesha, ubuntu support question?
[07:48] <alimj> hacktrad: Do you have any router on the network? or you want Ubuntu to be the router?
[07:48] <Ja1> It was everything working untill i replaced the External hdd with new one, im trying to run the script for backing up files to the new external hdd.
[07:48] <hacktard> I have a LAN cable from a local provider into my wired port. it is setup and am connected to this IRC through that.
[07:48] <ganesha> wifi
[07:48] <hacktard> I am trying to share this internet wirelessly
[07:48] <ganesha> ok
[07:48] <hacktard> I set up an ad hoc wireless network
[07:48] <bazhang> ganesha, ask a complete question , all on ONE line
[07:49] <hacktard> with ipv4 "shared to other computers"
[07:49] <ganesha> what
[07:49] <Ja1> it gives me a error ./backup.sh: ERROR: The mounted backup drive was not properly identified with id file "gatekeeper_backup_drive"
[07:49] <bazhang> !ask | ganesha
[07:49] <ganesha> who r u?
[07:49] <bazhang> ganesha, this is Ubuntu support.
[07:49] <bazhang> !ot | ganesha
[07:49] <ganesha> ok
[07:49] <alimj> You have many options: 1. If the cable modem provides DHCP and NAT, you can bridge the wireless and LAN. And make the wireless a WiFi access point.
[07:50] <ganesha> my prob in . who to confr outlook
[07:50] <alimj> hacktrad: What is your current IP on LAN side?
[07:50] <Ja1> bazhang any solution ?
[07:50] <bazhang> ganesha, what does outlook have to do with Ubuntu
[07:50] <ganesha> i do not no ok
[07:50] <Captain_Crow> hello
[07:50] <ganesha> hi
[07:51] <bazhang> Ja1, what script are you running, from where
[07:51] <ganesha> mumbai
[07:51] <hacktard> <IP_ADDRESS> < this shows up on "ifconfig" it is also my public ip atm
[07:51] <bazhang> ganesha, ##windows for outlook questions (maybe) but NOT here
[07:51] <ganesha> ok
[07:51] <Captain_Crow> does ubuntu play dvds by default or does a program need to be installed?
[07:51] <alimj> hacktard: Then you can not use the 1st option I mentioned. You should use NAT (Network Address Translation).

[07:53] <bazhang> Ja1, please explain very clearly to the channel what exactly you are trying to do. Please do NOT paste that script in this channel
[07:53] <hacktard> alimj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing is what I have already followed
[07:53] <hacktard> more details would help for sure :)
[07:53] <alimj> hackrad: Next time censor the last number of your IP.

[07:54] <F-3000> Hi! Is there a way to alter keyboard layout from grub when booting Ubuntu? (not grub's layout, but Ubu's)
[07:54] <hacktard> alimj: will do. thanks!
[07:55] <bazhang> Ja1, I have never seen the whole question asked, just you pasting that script in the channel
[07:55] <F-3000> I tried to google for answer, but everything seemed to be about grub's keyboard layout (and how it can't be changed).
[07:55] <ganesha> who r u
[07:56] <bazhang> ganesha, #ubuntu-offtopic   NOT here
[07:56] <ganesha> what is ubuntu..
[07:56] <bazhang> ganesha, really?
[07:57] <F-3000> ganesha: http://www.ubuntu.com
[07:57] <alimj> Hacktard: This is also a good guide: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/ubuntu-12-04-ipv4-nat-gateway-and-dhcp-server/
[07:57] <bazhang> www.ubuntu.com    <-------- ganesha
[07:57] <ganesha> what is ubuntu os
[07:57] <Ja1> bazhang ?
[07:58] <hacktard> alimj: sorry I got disconnected for a while there. I think I understand the problem a bit. Ubuntu is sharing the internet connection directly with the wireless network
[07:59] <bouncing> hey all, I'm looking for an app that does something fairly specific, but is quite common among web developers.
[07:59] <alimj> hackrand: If you set the NAT mode correctly, the answer is yes
[07:59] <hacktard> alimj: my local provider gives me an ip directly and it can not be shared with 2 computers. I need to make a router out of my ubuntu install
[07:59] <ganesha> no thanks?
[07:59] <bouncing> Basically, I want to watch /foo, and if any file in /foo or its subdirs is changed, I want it rsynced to an ssh location
[07:59] <alimj> hacktrad: That is exactly, what NAT does.
[07:59] <bouncing> any recommendations?
[07:59] <m0ka> erncic, I dont undertand what happend :/
[07:59] <hacktard> alimj: any guides?
[08:00] <alimj> hacktard: NAT shares one valid IP with many computers.
[08:00] <alimj> hacktard: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/ubuntu-12-04-ipv4-nat-gateway-and-dhcp-server/
[08:00] <tomreyn> bouncing: look into inotify
[08:00] <alimj> Hacktard: Once you set the NAT mode, connect all computers using ad-hoc. Do not set IPs on other computers. Use DHCP on them.
[08:01] <erncic> mOka, me either. at the very least your user should be a member of the sudo group....
[08:01] <bouncing> tomreyn, I was sort of hoping for an app that makes use of inotify to accomplish this, not writing a c app myself
[08:01] <Cygfrydd> bouncing: Take a look at https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki#wiki-info ; there's some sample code there that does what it looks like you want.
[08:01] <hacktard> alimj: thank you let me try and see if it fixes the problem. will ping back in a minute :)
[08:01] <bouncing> Cygfrydd, that looks incredibly promising. Thanks!
[08:01] <Cygfrydd> bouncing: Check the "inotifywait example 1" bit.
[08:02] <Ja1> bazhang here ?
[08:03] <bouncing> Cygfrydd: yup, that's exactly what I need. thanks.

[08:04] <njkt> hey guys, i'm getting an index out of bounds error with ubuntu 12.04, are there any other automated chroot utilities actively maintained that i could try?
[08:04] <Patero-ng> is there a version of ubuntu for a 1.44m disket?
[08:04] <Ja1> it was everything working untill i replaced the External hdd with new one, im trying to run the script for backing up files to the new external hdd. it gives me a error ./backup.sh: ERROR:   The mounted backup drive was not properly identified with id file "gatekeeper_backup_drive"  / the script im trying to run is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=762545 its here...
[08:05] <bazhang> Patero-ng, not that small. there is a 12mb or so mini iso however
[08:05] <njkt> oops, index out of bounds error with makejail in ubuntu 12.04
[08:05] <bazhang> !mini | Patero-ng
[08:05] <erncic> m0ka: ssh access on another system? ftp? etc..?
[08:05] <Patero-ng> great
[08:05] <hacktard> alimj: I have to keep my wired LAN on DCHP so I can not add address mask etc. My local provider gives me the ip dynamically
[08:05] <m0ka> erncic, internet doesnt get connect
[08:06] <hacktard> DHCP*
[08:06] <alimj> hacktard: Then ignore it. It will work
[08:06] <erncic> locally accessable ssh or ftd, can you reach anything on your own network?
[08:07] <alimj> hackrard: just modify eth1 (or wifi0) or wathever it is.
[08:07] <tomreyn> bouncing: i did something similar using incron a while ago, maybe that's an alternative you'd like to look into, too. the concept is a bit weird initially but i found it to be quite user friendly then.
[08:07] <hacktard> alimj: should I leave /etc/network/interfaces file as is or add "auto eth0" and "auto wlan0" ?
[08:08] <alimj> hacktard: I will be back in a minute
[08:08] <hacktard> alimj: ok
[08:13] <Captain_Crow> will ubuntu ever be user friendly at running things like bluray3d and modern pc games? or will that always require downloading additional programs and/or entering consol codes just to get the program running in buggy flickering manner?
[08:13] <bazhang> Captain_Crow, is that rhetorical?
[08:14] <aeon-ltd> Captain_Crow: blu-ray? unlikely - streaming will overtake bd. pc games? steam looks promising
[08:14] <bazhang> Captain_Crow, did you have an actual support issue you'd like to address, or just want to chit chat
[08:14] <bazhang> Captain_Crow, if the latter then #ubuntu-offtopic  or #ubuntu-discuss
[08:15] <Captain_Crow> i tried ubuntu once and had a bad experience with every game i own and couldnt run dvds or anything, i'm just wondering if it will ever be made easier to use where i can just pop a disk in and run it, or will this never happen?
[08:16] <Patero-ng> Captain_Crow ubuntu is not for games the hardware like gpu is meant for windows
[08:17] <Patero-ng> that it can run fairly well on linux is a plus
[08:17] <bazhang> Patero-ng, Captain_Crow this is not the correct forum for such a discussion
[08:17] <bazhang> Please take it to such a one as has been suggested, thanks.
[08:18] <Captain_Crow> ok, bazhang

[08:21] <ChesterX> hello everybody, i am trying to update my systems. however, i am encountering a issue with the steam client, the update manager says it can't install from an unauthenticated source. do you know where i could get the authentication key for the steam client? or a work-around?
[08:21] <hacktard> alimj: and sadly it did not work. May be coz I needed to add something about eth0 to the /etc/network/interfaces file
[08:22] <hacktard> may be I should just restart and check once. brb 1 min
[08:22] <IdleOne> ChesterX: wget -q http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/signature.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

[08:24] <ChesterX> thanks IdleOne, i didn t know about it :-)
[08:24] <IdleOne> ChesterX: I just learned a couple days ago myself :)
[08:26] <alimj1> hacktard: Welcome back. I was disconnected. Bad internet
[08:27] <alimj1> hacktard. What is the current status?
[08:27] <hacktard> alimj1: hi! I restarted and now it says "device not managed" on GUI for my wireless connections
[08:28] <alimj1> I believe the first part should be OK. Now it is the 2nd part. You should try connecting wireless devices now.
[08:29] <alimj1> Before that. Please inform me the ip of eth0 and yourwireless. Please censor last part of your valid IP
[08:29] <hacktard> alimj1:  I can not see the wireless network on other devices now.
[08:29] <hacktard> alimj1: eth0 is 106.51.89.xxx
[08:30] <hacktard> alimj1: wlan0 is <IP_ADDRESS> (which I gave for configuration)
[08:30] <alimj1> and eth0? The 1st 3 numbers...
[08:30] <hacktard> alimj1: eth0 is 106.51.89.xxx
[08:31] <hacktard> that is my public ip
[08:31] <alimj1> OK
[08:31] <alimj1> Let me send you a guide...
[08:31] <hacktard> alimj1: I can not add that to the interfaces file coz it is given dynamically
[08:31] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: hi u back ? :)
[08:32] <alimj1> hacktard: It is OK
[08:32] <alimj1> Hacktard: It appears that NAT part is done
[08:32] <alimj1> Hacktard: Now you should make Wifi addapter an access point
[08:32] <hacktard> alimj1: ok now i need to set up the wireless connection
[08:32] <hacktard> yes
[08:33] <alimj1> hacktard: If both addapters were ethernet, it was finished by now.

[08:35] <alimj1> Hacktard: I know it is not very easy. But once you do this. It will save you $100 and you will not require to by an access point+ router.
[08:35] <hacktard> alimj1: I think I could have skipped feeding interfaces file and added the ip etc to the GUI. that way I would have the option to setup wifi from GUI itself am I right?
[08:36] <hacktard> or not may be

[08:42] <hacktard> it is short for hacking retard. i.e. a noob-ish hacker. for definitions I follow http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html
[08:42] <alimj1> hacktard: Sorry. I though you want the adapter name. Let me tell you.
[08:43] <pLk> moin
[08:43] <hacktard> alimj1: btw my usb wireless adapter came with it's drivers but ubuntu seemed to recognize the device as soon as I plugged it in so I am guesssing it is the default driver for 12.10
[08:46] <cristian_c> Hi

[08:46] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yeas
[08:46] <cristian_c> I'm looking for info about commands executed from the multimedia keys
[08:46] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:47] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: dude I just found this link http://serverfault.com/questions/119881/ssh-exchange-identification-connection-closed-by-remote-host you see the first anwer s I did a chmod 600 on my ssh folder and then when I tried doing a -vvv ssh to the server
[08:47] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I get this
[08:47] <hacktard> alimj1: I dont think I would need to bridge the connections am I right?
[08:47] <alimj1> hacktard:  lshw -C network
[08:47] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, You will need to set up ssh and corkscrew to tell the proxy your username and password for the proxy access

[08:48] <alimj1> hacktard: Also chose your own SSID and Password
[08:49] <hacktard> alimj1: ok so I will just set up my wifi network and see if it shows up on my windows laptop. if it does then it should be working already now
[08:49] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: Host *     ProxyCommand corkscrew user@proxy.com:3128 %h %p
[08:49] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: ^^^
[08:49] <alimj1> hacktard: Forget step 3
[08:50] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, you are using the actual proxy address instead of<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:50] <hacktard> alimj1: ok
[08:50] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes :)
[08:50] <alimj1> hacktard: Just step 1 and 2. You should be able to see the access point from other computers. Connect to it from some other computer...
[08:51] <hacktard> alimj1: channel=6 (does it differ from driver to driver? it says 0 for some drivers)
[08:52] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, good :)
[08:52] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Ok so now you are getting a connection to the ssh server. Just that the connection is now timing out because you haven't put in a username and password in to access the ssh server
[08:52] <alimj1> hacktard: There are 13 channels.
[08:52] <hacktard> alimj1: so how do I know which one I have to use. or can I use anyone I like
[08:52] <alimj1> hacktard: It is not really important. Unless there are many wireless accesspoints nearby
[08:52] <hacktard> alimj1: well there are 2-3
[08:52] <alimj1> hacktard: Yes
[08:53] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: so what am I missing
[08:53] <alimj1> hacktard: Generally you should use one which is free. But let us forget about it for now. Lets focus on the 1st part.
[08:54] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: so I need to add usernma to ssh/config ?
[08:54] <alimj1> hacktard: If you use the same frequency.  But nothing else happens.
[08:54] <hacktard> alimj1: Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management hostapd                      [fail]
[08:54] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, possibly nothing... I am trying to connect to the same server, but there is no response from the server. Are you sure the ssh port for the ssh server is 22?
[08:54] <hacktard> alimj1: may be some configuration error (where are the logs?)
[08:55] <alimj1> hacktard: Yes. erros in "/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[08:55] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: dude I changed the server details while pinging you the details ;)
[08:55] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, There is a problem with the ssh server... The connection timed out for me too.
[08:56] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Usually if you don't add username to the ssh command then the server will ask you for a username/pasword combination
[08:56] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: ok got it leme try
[08:57] <alimj1> hacktard: Please pastbin /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, /etc/hostapd/hostapd, /etc/network/interfaces
[08:57] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, unless the ssh server has been configured not to ask for a username/password combination
[08:57] <alimj1> hacktard: We have to check them.
[08:58] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: tell me the command to add username into ssh host
[08:58] <alimj1> hacktard: Please centsor passphrase
[08:58] <user82> Hi. in gnome energy monitor what causes "local interrupts"? my cpu wakes up a lot (like 700 times because of local intererupts)
[08:58] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Can you pastebin any lines that take more than 1 line? It tends to upset people here when several lines are pasted :)
[08:59] <Kaleidoscope> Does Ubuntu use PulseAudio as it's sound server?
[08:59] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I am now trying ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:59] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, all you do is user@ssh-server in the ssh command
[08:59] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, that is it
[08:59] <hacktard> alimj1: http://pastebin.com/CyPhtzDi for hostapd
[08:59] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: anything to add into ssh/config ?
[09:00] <lemonsparrow> ssh: connect to host host.com port 22: Connection timed out
[09:00] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: ^
[09:00] <vmouse> hi everyone
[09:00] <irqq> what am I missing to sudo-run a loop like this ?: sudo for i in {a..c}; do echo $i; done
[09:00] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, are you sure that ssh is running on port 22 on the server?
[09:01] <hacktard> alimj1: there is no file called /etc/hostapd/hostapd I think you are looking for /etc/default/hostapd ?
[09:01] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes and I know by default its port 22 unless otherwise
[09:02] <alimj1> hacktard: You did wrong config.
[09:02] <Kaleidoscope> Does Ubuntu use PulseAudio as it's sound server?
[09:02] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, A lot of the time a server will not run ssh on port 22 due to security. I always ran my ssh on a very high port, just a bit of obfuscation to throw the bots off the scent :)
[09:02] <alimj1> hacktard. You should have two files. /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, /etc/hostapd/hostapd,
[09:02] <hacktard> alimj1: http://pastebin.com/k1zBh4vU is the interfaces file
[09:03] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Perhaps you should confirm the ssh server is running ssh on port 22
[09:03] <alimj1> hacktard. Let me paste bin for you.
[09:03] <hacktard> alimj1: Edit /etc/default/hostapd, enter:
[09:03] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: ok.. but nothing was told to me that THIS PORT so I believe its deafult port :) and it did work connecting my personal broadband static ip.. but through proxy I am facing this issue
[09:03] <hacktard> # vi /etc/default/hostapd
[09:04] <alimj1> hacktard: first file (/etc/default/hostapd) should have only one line: DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[09:04] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: do I need to do a sudo ssh ?
[09:04] <hacktard> alimj1: that file was present from before and had a lot of lines in it should I pastebin it?
[09:05] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Ok, now next question is did you try tunneling to the ssh server without the proxy server being in the middle?
[09:05] <alimj1> hacktard: The 2nd file (/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf) should have, what you pastebined for me
[09:05] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Never sudo ssh!
[09:05] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes from home and it did connect :)
[09:05] <hacktard> alimj1: ok np coz all other lines seemed to have been commented. so yes it is the same
[09:06] <mvt007geek> do anybody know linux filesystem channel??
[09:06] <mvt007geek> in irc?
[09:06] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Ok, do you think the server has a list of ip adresses it will only accept and yours might happen to be on it?
[09:06] <auronandace> mvt007geek: ##linux might help
[09:06] <hacktard> alimj1: http://pastebin.com/VALYu2qq is the default/hostapd file
[09:07] <bazhang> !fhs | mvt007geek
[09:07] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, The reason I say this is because you are reaching the ssh server, it is just not letting you connect to it
[09:07] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes set of static ips.. and my porxy n/w has been added to it but I am scared if the ip got blocked due to many failed attempts
[09:07] <alimj1> hacktard : /etc/init.d/hostapd restart
[09:08] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, I took the address from one of your previous posts and tried to ssh to the server, it did exactly the same to me as it is currently doing to you. So that is why I think it will only accept certain addresses
[09:09] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, Maybe you need to speak to the techs about it at the server
[09:09] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: dude I never gave you proper address for security reasons I edited it before posting
[09:09] <mvt007geek> auronandace: thanks
[09:09] <hacktard> alimj1: stopped ok start fail
[09:09] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: my strong feeling is that the ip got blocked
[09:09] <hacktard> alimj1: where can I find the logs for hostapd failing?
[09:10] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, I think you might be right... Maybe talk to the techs at the server and see if you can confirm the case.
[09:10] <unixnotphoenix> guys... anyone using steam here
[09:10] <unixnotphoenix> ?
[09:10] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: when the ip from which u r sshing is blocked is this the message you normally get ? ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection timed out ?
[09:10] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: yes
[09:10] <alimj1> hacktard: I will tell you in a sec
[09:11] <hacktard> alimj1: ok
[09:11] <Mechdave> lemonsparrow, yes
[09:11] <hacktard> alimj1: brb need a restart
[09:11] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: thanks a lot boss ;) for your time and help :)
[09:12] <lemonsparrow> Mechdave: I will get in touch with the tech team :)
[09:12] <unixnotphoenix> guys... I messed up the big picture resolution in steam... i cant make it to start to change the resolution..
[09:12] <alimj1> OK
[09:14] <dkessel> unixnotphoenix: there is a channel #ubuntu-steam . people might be able to help you there
[09:14] <unixnotphoenix> dkessel: thanks :)
[09:16] <elena-IK> I get flooded with "[ 1560.775986] hub 1-<IP_ADDRESS>:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1" several times per second, when printer, scanner and their usb hub are plugged in but not powered on. this is annoying at the luks/cryptsetup password prompt. can I suppress that message somehow?
[09:16] <XATRIX> Hi guys,  how can i make my grub not to use quiet+splash mode ? I need all kernel messages with 2 yellow pinguins appear on my screen during startup... :)
[09:17] <ironhalik> How can I use gnome-terminal --execute without a terminal window opening?
[09:17] <XATRIX> ironhalik, Why do you need it ? Can't use exec command from a plain shell ?
[09:17] <ironhalik> I want to place two commands, xset dpms force off and gnome-screensaver-command -a into a keyboard shortcut
[09:18] <XATRIX> ironhalik, KDE ?
[09:19] <ironhalik> gnome
[09:19] <XATRIX> Hm...No idea, i'm using awesome
[09:20] <IdleOne> ironhalik: I think what you want is nohup, see: man nohup
[09:20] <ironhalik> sec, Ill try it out
[09:21] <XATRIX> IdleOne, He wants just to bind a command sequence on the shortcut, there was a GUI app to configure the shortcuts in gnome, but i currently don't remember which one
[09:22] <IdleOne> XATRIX: neither do I
[09:24] <XATRIX> Hi guys,  how can i make my grub not to use quiet+splash mode ? I need all kernel messages with 2 yellow pinguins appear on my screen during startup... :)
[09:24] <hacktard> alimj1: hi I am back
[09:24] <alimj1> hacktard: What news?
[09:25] <hacktard> alimj1: still the same status :( hostapd start fail
[09:25] <alimj1> hacktard: Do you see your wifi in wireless manager?
[09:26] <hacktard> in GUI no but if I remove the config from network/interfaces and restart, I see it in GUI and can make a normal wireless connection
[09:27] <alimj1> hacktard: Then I believe it might not work in Access Point mode. Some cheap USB Wifis may not work in Access Point mode
[09:27] <hacktard> alimj1: :( any work around?
[09:28] <alimj1> hacktard: What happens if you set in in Ad-hoc mode and connect some other computer to it? Can they connect to the internet through it? They should. We did the 1st part already.
[09:28] <hacktard> alimj1: umm let me try again and restart
[09:29] <alimj1> hacktard: However, on those computers, you will not require manual IP
[09:29] <hacktard> alimj1: I am not adding manual ip on those computers
[09:29] <hacktard> alimj1: the only setting in which ubuntu lets me make an ad-hoc connection is when ipv4 is "shared with other computers"
[09:31] <alimj1> hacktard: Ok then. Check and inform. Do those computers have internet connectivity now?
[09:32] <hacktard> alimj1: which wont work with my connection as my local isp wont provide ip for multiple machines
[09:32] <hacktard> sad part is I can do this on windows very easily
[09:32] <hacktard> but I need to use the ubuntu machine for everything else
[09:32] <alimj1> hacktard: Yes. However, not everything.
[09:34] <Mechdave> hacktard, have a look here --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[09:35] <hacktard> Mechdave: let me try that :D
[09:45] <hacktard> Mechdave , alimj1 I can connect to the computer that way but can not share internet conenction
[09:46] <Benxyzzy> My laptop screen started turning off and on again about a month ago. It's pretty random but tends to happen when I open new programs. The screen usually locks too, until I disabled it. Now I don't have to type my password in every time, but I have no protection if I leave it unattended, and the 1/2 second black screen is still annoying. I've tried googling but don't really know what I should search for
[09:47] <Mechdave> hacktard, are you sharing through a windows machine or a ubuntu machine?
[09:48] <alimj1> hacktard: I am looking to the files
[09:48] <hacktard> Mechdave: I have the wired internet connection to my ubuntu desktop. I am trying to share it over wifi to my windows laptop
[09:48] <hacktard> Mechdave: alimj1 helped me set up a dhcp server and also hostapd but hostapd is failing when I restart it
[09:49] <alimj1> hacktard: Pastebin: /etc/sysctl.conf
[09:49] <Mechdave> hacktard, Ok, you need to use iptables to forward the connection to the windows laptop. You don't need a dhcp server on your ubuntu box as you can initially use a static ip on the laptop
[09:49] <hacktard> Mechdave: guides?
[09:50] <alimj1> hacktard: and this: /etc/rc.local
[09:50] <Mechdave> hacktard, hang on a bit and I will try to remember... Has been a while since I have needed to do this :)
[09:50] <alimj1> Mechdave: I gave hacktard this link: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/ubuntu-12-04-ipv4-nat-gateway-and-dhcp-server/
[09:51] <hacktard> Mechdave: thank you! alimj1 http://pastebin.com/Jsh1qBq6 for sysctl.conf and http://pastebin.com/e4AGz56k for rc.local
[09:52] <Mechdave> hacktard, Have a read of this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[09:52] <hacktard> Mechdave and alimj1 I think you should know, my local isp needs me to open the browser and log into their portal before I can use internet on their connection
[09:53] <Mechdave> hacktard, That should be fine with the nat setup :) Just make the ISP page your home page
[09:53] <hacktard> Mechdave: I tried that first. it didnt work because I think it shares the connection directly and my ISP wont let me access internet directly that way.
[09:53]  * RogueNeuron hi
[09:54] <hacktard> Mechdave: oh I think I need to do the gateway method, I had tried the GUI ones
[09:54] <SpaceRocket> how to safely remove USB hard disk?
[09:54] <pirsch> Hi All. I have not been able to successfully install Ubuntu or any Ubuntu based distro since before 12.04. I've tried installing with nomodeset. I can get it installed but the mouse and keyboard freeze-up on first run.
[09:54] <Mongolski> hej
[09:55] <Mechdave> hacktard, No, the iptables method translates the incoming packets to an internal ip address... As far as the ISP is concerned the ubuntu box is surfing the web :)
[09:55] <alimj1> hacktard: Now pastebin /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
[09:56] <Mechdave> hacktard, Use the iptables method, but do it all inside a terminal to set up the rules
[09:56] <hacktard> Mechdave: ok am trying that now
[09:56] <hacktard> sec
[09:57] <hacktard> alimj1: http://pastebin.com/1fnGNU5H
[09:57] <Mechdave> alimj1, I think get hacktard to forget about dhcp for now, just get him to get it all going with a static ip first, then he can add a dhcp server later
[09:58] <hacktard> alimj1: http://pastebin.com/0XMUNpcA PS: I have removed the wlan config from interfaces now to get it going from GUI
[09:58] <hacktard> Mechdave: yes I think that is what I am going to try for now.
[09:58] <Mechdave> alimj1, I always had major issues with dhcp and iptables if I set up dhcp first
[09:59] <alimj1> Mechdave: Possibly.
[09:59] <Mechdave> hacktard, just follow the instructions carefully, turn off your dhcp server by typing in a terminal sudo service dhcpd stop
[10:00] <queerios> hacktard: could you change your nick? it contains an ableist slur
[10:00] <Mechdave> hacktard, get the nat working first then you can add dhcp afterwards
[10:00] <hacktard> sudo service dhcpd stop
[10:00] <hacktard> dhcpd: unrecognized service
[10:00] <hacktard> Mechdave: ^
[10:01] <Mechdave> hacktard, would be good if you could change your nick too please :)
[10:01] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, thanks mate :)
[10:01] <alimj1> Hacktard: You did not follow the steps: It was mentioned: sudo aptitude install isc-dhcp-server
[10:01] <queerios> piyushmishra: thank you for being considerate
[10:01] <piyushmishra> alimj1: I did do that
[10:02] <alimj1> Mechdave: Would you please look into this. I am going to launch. I will be back.
[10:02] <Mechdave> alimj1, No worries :)
[10:02] <piyushmishra> queerios, Mechdave is the word "hack" causing the cringe? :P
[10:03] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, yes... and the word tard too
[10:04] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: ok. :) wont use the nick here then. btw it is supposed to mean I am very slow in learning hacking (in the catb sense of the term)
[10:04] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, It is just not really respectful and chances you would not be treated seriously here with that name. Besides some would withhold help because of percieved motives
[10:05] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, No worries. I knew what you were on about when you explained it earlier :)
[10:05] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: I can see how it can create confusion
[10:05] <piyushmishra> ok trying the gateway method now
[10:06] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, Ok back to job in hand... Try the iptables method. Make sure you can ping the ubuntu box with the windows laptop first so you know you have a good wireless connection
[10:07] <jojo_> msg
[10:08] <elena-IK> how can I prevent the luks password prompt from being flooded with kernel messages?
[10:10] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: iptables-restore v1.4.12: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat'
[10:12] <Mechdave> You followed the instructions here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29
[10:12] <defekt> !botsnack
[10:13] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, You followed the instructions here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29
[10:14] <piyushmishra> yes, instead of adding the line to rc.local I mistakenly run it on the terminal
[10:14] <piyushmishra> and got that error
[10:14] <piyushmishra> so may be I will get that error again when I restart. do you know why it can happen
[10:15] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, you ran sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.sav in a terminal?
[10:15] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: yes I did I have that file now
[10:15] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: should I pastebin it?
[10:16] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, no need to just yet...
[10:17] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: Error occurred at line: 2
[10:17] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, so when you run this in a terminal--> iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.sav  what does it say?

[10:17] <piyushmishra> iptables-restore v1.4.12: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat'
[10:17] <piyushmishra> Error occurred at line: 2

[10:18] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, can you pastebin the file please?
[10:18] <piyushmishra> http://pastebin.com/zCxVGBf8
[10:19] <XATRIX> What software monitors special buttons on the laptop ? Mute/Volup/Voldown
[10:20] <bekks> XATRIX: That strongly depends on your hardware.
[10:20] <XATRIX> bekks: I'm using an old HP compaq nc4010
[10:20] <VividReality> Hello, I had a crash and since then audio doesn't work anymore, muting and unmuting gives me an instant of static, but nothing more.
[10:20] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: http://pastebin.com/zCxVGBf8
[10:21] <XATRIX> And i really didn't setup something extra in...
[10:21] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, run the following command in a terminal and then pastebin the resulting file... sudo iptables -L > $HOME/iptables.out.txt
[10:21] <VividReality> if I plug the speakers in my phone they work fine.
[10:21] <XATRIX> But my Sound keys were in action, till i move to awesome DM :)
[10:21] <VividReality> does anyone know what the problem could be?
[10:22] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: http://pastebin.com/gRJ41uU1
[10:22] <XATRIX> VividReality: You could possible play with alsamixer
[10:22] <XATRIX> Maybe you have some channels muted out...
[10:23] <VividReality> system sounds and Clementine are both on 100%
[10:24] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: btw ping doesnt work properly I think I need to restart or something before ping works
[10:24] <piyushmishra> trying once and getting back in a minute
[10:24] <VividReality> XATRIX, also, the volume bar of Clementine moves based on the audio.
[10:25] <VividReality> so there should be output
[10:25] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, make sure you can connect to your ubuntu box with windows. Set up a static ip address for the windows box.
[10:25] <XATRIX> VividReality: So, you only have a working system sounds, but no other media  ?
[10:26] <VividReality> no system sounds either.
[10:28] <XATRIX> VividReality: Do you see the MM chars down to the channel bars ?
[10:28] <XATRIX> If you do so, there's a muted channels in
[10:28] <XATRIX> You have to unmute em with 'm' on your keyboard
[10:28] <VividReality> But I have no muted channels.
[10:29] <VividReality> also, I use pulse audio.
[10:29] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: back
[10:29] <VividReality> I was listening to music
[10:29] <VividReality> My computer crashed
[10:29] <VividReality> I couldn't even go into a different tty
[10:29] <VividReality> so I reset
[10:29] <VividReality> and then audio was gone
[10:30] <VividReality> just static.
[10:30] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, How did it go?
[10:30] <piyushmishra> I show as connected
[10:30] <piyushmishra> but cant ping my ubuntu from win
[10:30] <piyushmishra> :-/
[10:30] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, Ok now ping the ubuntu machine from the laptop
[10:31] <TomyLobo> While (re)installing nvidia current i get "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-35-generic (x86_64)" http://pastebin.com/7zqG871X full log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1452737/ the log file mentioned.
[10:31] <stobix> Hi! Just wondering: can I get rid of gdm and lightwm and all that cruft and just have a terminal login, starting X with startx? Or is there some ubuntu deep magic that makes my system cry if I do it?
[10:31] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, Have you set a static ip address on your windows laptop?
[10:31] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: no ping from both sides
[10:31] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: yes I have
[10:31] <bekks> stobix: X isnt started using startx for a long time now, afaik.
[10:32] <TomyLobo> stobix xinit: /usr/bin/startx
[10:32] <piyushmishra> ipconfig on windows shows <IP_ADDRESS> (one I set) and ifconfig on ubuntu shows <IP_ADDRESS> on ubuntu(one I set)
[10:32] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: ^ and default gateway is same too
[10:32] <TomyLobo> that's 12.04
[10:32] <TomyLobo> piyushmishra are you using dhcp on both?
[10:33] <TomyLobo> and are both on the same machine?
[10:33] <TomyLobo> otherwise it's not surprising that they differ :)
[10:33] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: no win is laptop and ubuntu is desktop and am doing static on both
[10:33] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, Have you followed the page I sent you about ad-hoc networks?
[10:33] <TomyLobo> oh i missed your original question, you cant ping
[10:33] <piyushmishra> they're connected by an ad hoc network (wlan0) from my ubuntu desk
[10:33] <TomyLobo> subnet masks?
[10:34] <TomyLobo> (unlikely cause but give it nonetheless)
[10:34] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: same. Mechdave: yes Id di that
[10:34] <piyushmishra> did*
[10:34] <TomyLobo> "same" is not a good answer here
[10:34] <TomyLobo> they could be on an equally bad setting
[10:34] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: I show connected on both ends. TomyLobo: <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:34] <TomyLobo> (though windows' default should work)
[10:34] <TomyLobo> yeah that's good
[10:35] <piyushmishra> gateway: <IP_ADDRESS> on both
[10:35] <TomyLobo> why? does that IP exist?
[10:35] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: no it was on some guide somewhere
[10:35] <TomyLobo> if you only have 2 machines on a network, dont enter a gateway
[10:36] <TomyLobo> on the same physical network, that is
[10:36] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: ok removing gateway
[10:36] <TomyLobo> also try and see what "arp" shows you
[10:36] <TomyLobo> (on linux)
[10:36] <TomyLobo> windows doesnt have fancy things like that :)
[10:37] <koik> http://www.carolinaherrera.com/212/es/areyouonthelist?share=NVq56AQ2vxgECOtvW_3-cC_MeqWSEVkU2vlXs7SL5zHkz4rz3EUUdzs6j6FXsjB4447F-isvxjqkXd4Qey2GHw#teaser
[10:37] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: well removing gateway wont let me save the config on ubuntu. so I need one. what should I put in there?
[10:37] <TomyLobo> !ops | koik
[10:37] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: I only see my eth0 on arp is that bad?
[10:38] <Mechdave> piyushmishra, You can put in the ip of the ubuntu machine as it will eventually be a gateway
[10:38] <elky> koik, please dont spam
[10:38] <TomyLobo> piyushmishra arp lists *other* machines
[10:38] <TomyLobo> not your interfaces
[10:38] <TomyLobo> well it shows the interfaces those machines are reachable through, too
[10:39] <piyushmishra> TomyLobo: so it shows my ISP machine. to which I am connected via ether
[10:39] <piyushmishra> Mechdave: done on both
[10:41] <fabx777> hi
[10:41] <elky> koik, i trust you are going to partake in this channel in the expected manner soon, to prove you are not a spammer...
[10:42] <piyushmishra> Mechdave, TomyLobo so now I have 2 problems :P
[10:42] <piyushmishra> 1. I cant seem to ping wither machine from the other
[10:42] <piyushmishra> 2. I get nat* error from iptables
[10:42] <VividReality> I have done this trouble shoot: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iTlJ8BfqXUjaHO__TEdlkvuqB1WLOkGaudngc5SFLMI/edit
[10:42] <VividReality> but still no luck
[10:42] <piyushmishra> restarting again to try and see if the changing configs made some problem brb
[10:49] <ChrKar> I have a strange issue with my graphics card drivers. Whether i have installed amd drivers or the open source one it has the exact performance.
[10:50] <bekks> ChrKar: And whats strange about it?
[10:50] <fabx777> my microphone reproduces the sound from the headphones instead of the voip line. (ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64, 11.10 did not have these problems with no extra setting)
[10:50] <TomyLobo> exact same performance?
[10:50] <TomyLobo> yeah, be happy
[10:50] <TomyLobo> unless of course, that performance is that of the slower driver
[10:51] <ChrKar> I am not happy because the game i am trying to play is supposed to be able to be maxed out with my graphics card.
[10:51] <bekks> TomyLobo: The slower one, out of two with the same performance? ;)
[10:51] <TomyLobo> bekks stuck driver syndrome :)
[10:51] <bekks> ChrKar: And which game is it?
[10:51] <ChrKar> Trine 2
[10:51] <ChrKar> oil rush
[10:51] <ChrKar> every game. Even benchmarks
[10:52] <TomyLobo> trine 2? does that have a multi-player mode now?
[10:52] <bekks> ChrKar: And how do you measure or benchmark it?
[10:52] <ChrKar> Well the games have an option to show fps. And i have unigine benchmarks too.
[10:52] <bekks> ChrKar: And how many fps do you get?
[10:53] <ChrKar> Well in trine at 800x600 and lowest possible 20fps most of the times
[10:53] <ChrKar> with oil rush around 15-30 at 800x600 lowest
[10:53] <bekks> ChrKar: And which Ubuntu and which driver versions do you use exactly on which hardware very exactly?
[10:55] <elena-IK> how can I prevent the luks password prompt from being flooded with kernel messages?
[10:55] <ChrKar> I have ubuntu 12.10 drivers My graphics card is AMD 6450, tried driver 12.11 (beta) -the stock one from ubuntu-
[10:55] <ChrKar> also at software sources i installed one of them but i dont know version because i have strange output with glxinfo
