[00:00] <TJ-> wise_phone: Maybe there's a broken "/home/$USER/.Xauthority" from the failed sessions. You can delete that file if it exists
[00:00] <TJ-> wise_phone: That's a very nasty bug/regression in that 3.11 kernel and Ubuntu 13.10
[00:01] <Left_Turn> oh ok
[00:01] <TJ-> amigamagic: There are alternative kernel builds, one is low-latency, designed for your scenario
[00:02] <amigamagic> TJ, suppose I install this low-latency kernel... I will not have anymore official ubuntu kernel upgrades?
[00:02] <TJ-> amigamagic: See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-lowlatency&searchon=names
[00:02] <Guest32656> Hey hows it going? anyone know a good program for ubuntu that will deal with multi volume rar archives
[00:03] <cassio> hey. I'm installing minimal on an old laptop without PAE, and I selected ubuntu desktop, and it booted to a screen with an install drivers contextual menu but won't let me click on it
[00:03] <BlackDeath_> whats the name of the file editor i've seen people use that color the scripting
[00:03] <Guest32656> nick /s
[00:03] <TJ-> Left_Turn: beset asking wise_phone how he managed to get the installer to run, I got a little lost at that point but it worked so I didn't ask further :)
[00:04] <TJ-> cassio: what version of Ubuntu?
[00:04] <amigamagic> TJ, interesting, but there is a guide to how to install those kernel for newbie?
[00:04] <ddurden> BlackDeath_: Most do it, even the built in one (gedit). it's called Syntax Highlighting
[00:04] <TJ-> amigamagic: same as any other package: "sudo apt-get install linux-image-lowlatency"
[00:04] <BlackDeath_> ddurden, i'm only using terminal.. is there one that does it?
[00:04] <TJ-> BlackDeath: "vim" does
[00:04] <amigamagic> oh, really is it so easy?
[00:05] <cassio> 13.10 I think
[00:05] <ddurden> BlackDeath_: vim and nano. Really, most everything does it.
[00:05] <BlackDeath_> ddurden, ok.. thanks
[00:05] <TJ-> amigamagic: Yes :) As long as once it is installed, you ensure in the grub boot menu you choose the lowlatency version if you have both "generic" and "lowlatency" flavours installed at the same time
[00:06] <cassio> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/mini.iso
[00:06] <BlackDeath_> <3 this channel if i cant find it on google you guys answer my simple questions so fast
[00:06] <xtbman> Is there a particular reason why somebody would install an older version of Ubuntu, say 12.04, today? Is there any good reason for someone new to Ubuntu to not install the latest version?
[00:06] <skytrash> LTS
[00:06] <amigamagic> xtbman, latest ubuntu versions are unstable
[00:06] <cassio> xbtman, 12.04 supports older hardware better
[00:07] <xtbman> I see, thanks. So 12.04 is the recommended version for new users?
[00:07] <numbers> my wifi connection keeps dropping, i am using ubuntu 12.04
[00:07] <wise_phone> Tj- you're right again.  Deleting the .Xauthority fixed the log on issue.
[00:07] <cassio> I think 12.04 is an excellent version for you
[00:07] <amigamagic> I think 12.04 is supported for 5 years and it's more stable
[00:07] <xtbman> Ok thanks
[00:07] <amigamagic> but maybe it doesn't recognize some new hardware
[00:08] <ddurden> xtbman: I woudl chose the LTS (12.04) if i prefered stability and the current (13.10) if I wanted the latest packages
[00:08] <ddurden> xtbman: there's no "best" as such, it depends on your requirements
[00:08] <cassio> yeah, you could run live cds of both
[00:08] <amigamagic> for example, on a recent xeon hardware, the suspend doesn't work on 12.04
[00:09] <cassio> anybody want to give me advice on my non-pae minimal installation?
[00:09] <amigamagic> and there are some problems with the intel hd 4000 I think...
[00:09] <amigamagic> TJ, thanks for the link
[00:09] <ddurden> amigamagic: Can I  ask your use case for suspending a xeon? It's a server CPU, and a server in suspend .. ?
[00:10] <xtbman> ddurden ok thanks. I'm installing Ubuntu on an Acer c720 Chromebook.
[00:10] <ddurden> xtbman: Are you using chrubuntu, or coreboot, or the c720 has a bios that allows it?
[00:10] <amigamagic> ddurden: if the hibernation doesn't work, sometimes you prefer to suspend it, to preserve energy
[00:10] <ddurden> amigamagic: Can I  ask your use case for hibernating a xeon? It's a server CPU, and a server in suspend .. ?
[00:11] <amigamagic> if you know that from 00:00 to 06:00 you don't use it, why you have to keep it on?
[00:11] <xtbman> ddurden I haven't made a decision yet. I'm still waiting for the computer to arrive in mail. I briefly read one tutorial that suggested chrubuntu.
[00:11] <ddurden> amigamagic: ok, i see
[00:11] <Wise> TJ-, Nice, getting all set up now!  I can't thank you enough!
[00:11] <TJ-> wise_phone: looks like we're on a roll :)
[00:11] <ddurden> xtbman: my recommendation is to replace the firmware with coreboot, then the chromebook becomes a regular pc. however the chromeOS channels would be a better place for support for that
[00:11] <TJ-> Wise: I feel like I've been through a 4 hour exam :)
[00:12] <xtbman> ddurden ok great I'll look into coreboot.
[00:13] <cassio> is the minimal installation supposed to take awhile after boot to desktop?
[00:13] <Wise> TJ-, oh man, I don't doubt it.
[00:14] <amigamagic> and someone knows why Unity designers designed the bar to be always on the left?
[00:14] <franknog> I have no sound and I could really use some help at this point
[00:14] <TJ-> amigamagic: Because they think left-to-right ?
[00:14] <ddurden> amigamagic: you can move it ...
[00:14] <amigamagic> but the widescreen monitors have much more space in horizontal
[00:14] <amigamagic> so it would be better to make it in the bottom part of the screen
[00:14] <cassio> franknog, does ubuntu detect the audio device?
[00:15] <TJ-> amigamagic: depends if the display is portrait or landscape
[00:15] <franknog> cassio: how would I go about checking that.
[00:15] <ddurden> amigamagic: on widescreen i usually run out of screen height before i run out of width
[00:15] <amigamagic> TJ, you use your widescreen monitor in vertical?
[00:15] <ddurden> amigamagic: Just move the damn bar
[00:15] <amigamagic> how to move it?
[00:15] <amigamagic> where is the damned option?
[00:15] <ddurden> amigamagic: there are various unity tweak tools in the software centre
[00:15] <cassio> franknog, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[00:16] <Corvette> I'm on ubuntu 12.04 and something went wrong a while ago, now every time i start the laptop I have to enter sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi how do I fix this
[00:16] <TJ-> amigamagic: Unity was designed for phones and tablets and desktop experience was 'upset' for a time, and still isn't perfect according to many people
[00:16] <amigamagic> TJ, I think Unity would be MUCH better if it was A LITTLE more personalizable
[00:16] <TJ-> amigamagic: Personally, I switched to KDE because Unity fails on my 2 GPU, 6-monitor configuration.
[00:16] <TJ-> amigamagic: I agree entirely!
[00:17] <amigamagic> TJ, personally, I use gnome-session-fallback
[00:17] <amigamagic> and it's the best until now
[00:17] <amigamagic> I tried KDE
[00:17] <amigamagic> but... Hey, it's so damned complex!
[00:17] <amigamagic> but I admit it's very appealing to the eyes
[00:17] <Corvette> KDE is ugly
[00:18] <amigamagic> it looks like a mix of Windows and OSX
[00:18] <Corvette> gnome shell is the nicest
[00:18] <amigamagic> but I cannot use it for more than 5 minutes
[00:18] <amigamagic> before my head goes nuts
[00:18] <TJ-> amigamagic: I like complex! I also like being able to see the installed applications in hierarchical menus rather than having to remember what is installed
[00:19] <ddurden> amigamagic: i've just checked, the *exact* thing to type into search in softrware center is "unity tweak tool"
[00:19] <TJ-> I find it ironic, also, that Unity was designed to work well on phones/tablets yet the dash search needs typing... there's a reason for the Mouse... point and click, not point, type, and click :)
[00:19] <franknog> cassio: okay, using the command "list-sinks" after "pacmd" showed that my anolog stereo device is "HW_MUTE_CTL" and that it's "IDLE"
[00:19] <amigamagic> ddurden, I heard that unity it's not much stable if you move it with tweaks
[00:19] <amigamagic> maybe it's a metropolitan legend?
[00:20] <amigamagic> (I mean moving the unity bar)
[00:20] <ddurden> amigamagic: you'll never know if you don't try it
[00:20] <amigamagic> sure
[00:20] <Din_Weasel> how to move the unity bar?
[00:20] <amigamagic> I think 70-80% of people would like to move Unity bar on the bottom of the screen...
[00:21] <amigamagic> being that with a widescreen monitor is so much natural to use the "wide" area for dockbar and other bars...
[00:21] <Arafangion> Hmm.
[00:22] <ddurden> the unity bar is a dock bar, which bar do you mean?
[00:22] <Din_Weasel> my 30 inch dell isn't wide screen
[00:22] <cassio> can someone please reassure me about my installation?
[00:22] <amigamagic> Din_Weasel, how many people today use 4:3 monitors?
[00:22] <amigamagic> I mean, as desktop users...
[00:23] <Arafangion> I was biased against ubutnu in the early days as I found them very unstable, which I attributed to immature packaging (relative to debian), and the use of 3rd party drivers (which was really unstable with my ati-based laptop).
[00:23] <Arafangion> However, the ubuntu live CD is quite impressive, from a UI point of view.
[00:23] <ddurden> amigamagic: desktops are obsolete :)
[00:23] <amigamagic> ddurden, keyboard and mouse are obsolete too, right?
[00:24] <ddurden> amigamagic: especially desktop screens. why can't i get a 15" screen with 2880x1600 pixels for a desktop? laptops have them
[00:24] <Din_Weasel> 4:3 monitors are good for word processing
[00:24] <Din_Weasel> to fit a page in word
[00:24] <Arafangion> Din_Weasel: I disagree. However good 4:3 is, 3:4 is even better.
[00:25] <Arafangion> I find the current wide-screen monitors, vertically positioned, are perfect for word pages.
[00:25] <Din_Weasel> and sorry for my english, i'm lithuanian
[00:25] <amigamagic> Din_Weasel: with a big widescreen monitor you could have two A4 pages in one screen
[00:25] <deepy> I seem to have permanently disabled my touchpad
[00:25] <ddurden> amigamagic: i would only use a keyboard for specific technical applications like coding; voice is working fine for me if i just want to use web or email
[00:25] <Arafangion> Ah, yes, speaking of touchpad.  The touch pad on the eeePC doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu.
[00:26] <ddurden> amigamagic: I can't do that with 1080p. it's only 1920 across, right? so that is 960 pixels per window if you have 2 side by side. Most websites don't display correcty at that narrow width if they detect a desktop client
[00:27] <amigamagic> ddurden, I'm a "classic" guy, so I will stick with keyboard and mouse for a long time. And I am a developer, so I use the keyboard very often.
[00:27] <ddurden> amigamagic: and that's why 1920x1080 is useless for me; i'd need 2 or 3 monitors for that
[00:28] <Guest4824> hi
[00:29] <amigamagic> ddurden, I think that for two A4 pages of an openoffice, 1920x1080 is fine
[00:29] <amigamagic> but I agree that if you have a single page layout, 4:3 monitors are more natural
[00:30] <Din_Weasel> stupid question, but are there any irc networks/chanels left there people are just chatting, I mean a non thematic ones. I don't want to be offtopic, want to improve my english a little bit
[00:30] <ddurden> amigamagic: what about openoffice on the left side and a webpage on the right? now we're back to trying to view a website in 960 pixel width
[00:30] <TJ-> For A4, I have a 1920x1200 monitor in portrait
[00:30] <ddurden> amigamagic: please stop defending lowres displays like 1920x1080. they arent new or clever anymore. ipads are 2500+ across already
[00:30] <amigamagic> ddurden, I was speaking of two pages of the same application, not two webpages.
[00:30] <Din_Weasel> I have a 2560*1600 monitor two pages fits just perfect
[00:31] <amigamagic> Din_Weasel: :D
[00:31] <amigamagic> ddurden, I will not defend 1920x1080
[00:31] <Corvette> omg 1080p is lowres now :( I have 3 1080p monitors
[00:31] <amigamagic> I'm using now 1280x800 res
[00:32] <ddurden> sorry 2000x1500, but it's stil bigger than HD
[00:32] <ddurden> it's just retarded thar desktops have fewer pixels than a phone or tablet
[00:33] <ddurden> yet no-one sees the fact that desktop screens are junk
[00:33] <amigamagic> it's just retarted that a little phone has a resolution of 1920x1080
[00:33] <amigamagic> or similar res
[00:33] <Din_Weasel> it's just retarted people are buying laptops for gaming
[00:33] <amigamagic> :D
[00:34] <TJ-> ddurden: You can get high-res desktop screens, the issue is, manufacturing yield for larger screens
[00:35] <amigamagic> anyway, KDE is too different from the usual desktop experiences
[00:35] <ddurden> ddurden: not at high pixel densirt. show me a 15" sdesktop screen @ 2800x1600 or so
[00:35] <ddurden> TJ-: sorry my last ws addressed to you. those screens don't exist.
[00:36] <amigamagic> I mean, you cannot move icons without clicking on that bar that shows when you stay for a little on the icon
[00:36] <franknog> so I used to have sound, but no I don't
[00:36] <amigamagic> it's crazy
[00:37] <Cinos> whoa, high resolutions
[00:38] <ddurden> i found kde wasn't very pretty, but it is quite customisable.
[00:39] <amigamagic> I think it's TOO much customizable... :D
[00:39] <amigamagic> to the point you have too many choices to make the same thing
[00:39] <amigamagic> and it confuses you
[00:40] <TJ-> ddurden: You've not seen the 4K monitors then?
[00:40] <ddurden> i like the way unity has menu bar integration. I dont need to go menu->file->print etc anymore. I just hit the special key and type in 'print' and if the app supports it, it automatically works out which menu i want with a smart search
[00:40] <amigamagic> and why I should rotate an icon on the KDE desktop!?
[00:40] <ddurden> TJ-: I have, but they are all 28" or larger
[00:40] <amigamagic> it's crazy!
[00:40] <ddurden> TJ-: Also they are capped at 30 Hz which is useless for gaming
[00:41] <Jordan_U> ddurden: There are laptops with such screens, probably desktops too. Though I think only GNOME3 really has good HiDPI support currently.
[00:41] <ddurden> Jordan_U: Laptops, yes. desktops - no, you cannot buy them,
[00:42] <Din_Weasel> I have a Dell U3014 UltraSharp 30-Inch
[00:42] <ddurden> Jordan_U: You're right about the font and icon size issue though: unity is a bit bad with retina resolutions
[00:43] <ddurden> Jordan_U: ChromeOS is fine with HiDPI as well
[00:44] <Jordan_U> ddurden: I would hope so with the pixel :)
[00:47] <causative> how does my terminal process get different groups from me?  how do I start a terminal with the same groups as me, after changing my own groups?
[00:47] <TJ-> ddurden: The Dell UP2414Q (24") does 4K @ 60Hz
[00:47] <Din_Weasel> any video cards supporting 4k?
[00:48] <ddurden> ddurden: Looked at it, it's 30 Hz limited
[00:49] <ddurden> TJ-: Argh, that last one was for you again. It does not do 60 Hz on HDMI. How else would you connect it? ;-)
[00:49] <Din_Weasel> displey port?
[00:49] <TJ-> dduffey: DisplayPort of course!
[00:49] <TJ-> oops...
[00:49] <TJ-> ddurden:  DisplayPort of course!
[00:49] <causative> my terminal has groups causative ada dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare, and I have groups causative www-data
[00:49] <rww> causative: log out and back in
[00:50] <rww> causative: (i'm assuming you just added yourself to www-data)
[00:50] <ddurden> TJ-: Ok, so that's the first monitor that qualifies. it's new.
[00:50] <causative> is that the only way rww... I'm talking about a terminal in gnome
[00:50] <TJ-> HDMI v1.4 is required for 4K
[00:50] <rww> causative: yes.
[00:50] <causative> oh well, thanks
[00:51] <TJ-> ddurden: They're all "new"! The factories are still ramping up production, especially of the IPS panels, as they improve manufacturing yield
[00:52] <TJ-> HDMI 2.0 is needed for 4K @ 60Hz
[00:53] <philaneous> hi im running 12.04.4 and i've ran out of space on /boot. It seems that apt-get is not removing old kernels
[00:54] <philaneous> i ran this too dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
[00:54] <philaneous> im in a dependecy hell at the moment
[00:55] <sarthak> Is the AMD Radeon 4xxx series still supported in coming 14.04?
[00:55] <sarthak> Curious as to what is the best plug-n-play Video Card for ubuntu to get over Intel Graphics.
[00:55] <TJ-> philaneous: ouch, so where are you at?
[00:57] <philaneous> TJ-: well i have a lot of old kernels listed
[00:57] <philaneous> i want to remove them so i can get the newest one
[00:57] <philaneous> TJ-: i dont want to manually remove them
[00:57] <philaneous> TJ-: it tells me to run autoremove
[00:58] <philaneous> TJ-: i do this and still runs me in circles
[01:00] <TJ-> philaneous: can you pastebin "dpkg --get-selections 'linux-image*' | egrep '3\..*[[:space:]]install' "
[01:01] <evilbug> i've installed server 12.04 with openbox and while i have the network manager applet working, i can't figure out how to connect to pass protecto wifi networks since when i click on them the pop up that asks for login details doesn't show up. i do have gnome-keyring installed.
[01:03] <philaneous> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/kcTWN6Fi
[01:04] <Guest73521> hello folks, I'm getting an error message when trying to install Ubuntu server from a USB stick.
[01:05] <Guest73521> anyone offer any help?
[01:05] <philaneous> Guest73521: whats the error
[01:05] <Guest73521> says it can't read a file from the CD, and fails.
[01:06] <evilbug> Guest73521: and what'd you make the usb with?
[01:06] <Segfault_> Are there any good email clients out there, with transparent gpg support, except evolution? I find Evolution to be terribly slow and bloated
[01:06] <Guest73521> Linux Live USB Creator, and Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 LTS 64bit ISO.
[01:06] <philaneous> Guest73521: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[01:07] <philaneous> TJ-: any suggestions
[01:08] <evilbug> Segfault_: i actually use thunderbird on all platforms. not sure it's the lightest around but i'm diggin it.
[01:09] <Segfault_> evilbug: Of course, I had completely forgotten about good old thunderbird. How is the gpg support?
[01:09] <DJ> Segfault_: I am a BIG fan of Thunderbird with the enigmail addon - works VERY well and on all platforms
[01:10] <TJ-> philaneous: I'd think you'd be quickest manually removing the older versions using "dpkg -r", than trying to script it
[01:11] <Segfault_> thanks evilbug and DJ, I will try thunderbird!
[01:11] <evilbug> Segfault_: have fun.
[01:12] <philaneous> TJ-: but everytime theres a new kernel release shouldn't it try to purge the old kernels
[01:12] <TJ-> philaneous: I use this to identify the older kernels, since grub.cfg usually orders them correctly. "grep initrd /boot/grub/grub.cfg | tail -n-2 | awk '{gsub("/initrd\.img-","",$2);print $2}' | while read version; do echo "linux-image-$version"; done" and feed the package names into whatever I want to remove them (dpkg or apt-get)
[01:12] <TJ-> philaneous: no, it shouldn't, that is the system administrators job
[01:13] <TJ-> philaneous: the installer has no (reliable) way to know which kernels are being used, which are broken, etc.
[01:13] <philaneous> TJ-: so i should list them and remove them all?
[01:13] <exaroth>  /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS
[01:14] <TJ-> remove all but the last 2 is my usual process, unless there is a reason to keep older kernel versions
[01:16] <philaneous> TJ-: linux-image-3.8.0-29-generic its listing that twice
[01:16] <TJ-> philaneous: maybe because you've got it listed as the default and as a recovery ... you can insert "| uniq " into the pipeline to ensure it isn't repeated
[01:19] <philaneous> TJ-: where do i insert that in youre code?
[01:19] <philaneous> your*
[01:19] <TJ-> philaneous: I use this to identify the older kernels, since grub.cfg usually orders them correctly. "grep initrd /boot/grub/grub.cfg | tail -n-2 | awk '{gsub("/initrd\.img-","",$2);print $2}' | while read version; do echo "linux-image-$version"; done | uniq"
[01:20] <evilbug> how can i get my network manager to ask for credentials when connecting to a protected wifi network?
[01:22] <TJ-> evilbug: It should do so automatically if it connects to an encrypted channel
[01:22] <philaneous> TJ-: ok its only listed once
[01:23] <chaotic_good> anyone here a fan of reiserfs?
[01:24] <evilbug> TJ-: i installed server 12.04 with openbox, network manager applet, and keyring. the applet works fine, shows me all available networks but when clicking on a protected network nothing shows up.
[01:27] <BlackDeath_> is there a more upto date how to for squid on the ubuntu site... i'm follwoing what it says and the install location is different... using 12.04 server edition

[01:33] <MrJerome> Wabs: I have kdenlive, how did you do it?
[01:33] <borgos> .xsession-errors says xorg.0.crash main process killed by term signal
[01:33] <BlackDeath_> chaotic_good, well :P :p :p i found an ubuntu guide for the squid3 edition
[01:34] <BlackDeath_> :)
[01:34] <borgos> does anyone have an idea of how i can fix this?
[01:34] <MrJerome> Wabs: I tried putting the long clip on the timeline, and have it all cut up how I want it, but I can't figure how to save the pieces as separate clips
[01:34] <borgos> basically i can logon from console but gui logon does not work after rebooting
[01:34] <chaotic_good> http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BinaryPackages#KnowledgeBase.2BAC8-Ubuntu.Squid-3.1  oh did u install like this?
[01:34] <chaotic_good> oh nice
[01:35] <borgos> upsart-dbus-sesion-bridge main process terminated with status 1
[01:35] <BlackDeath_> i just did a "sudo apt-get install squid"

[01:38] <booncer> anyone use bt wifi or fon
[01:39] <Konata> borgos: Mind the language?
[01:40] <borgos> Konata: what for?
[01:40] <texla> !language | borgos
[01:40] <borgos> it's been a while since i have been censored on the internet
[01:41] <borgos> dont agree with that but if anyone can help me i will keep my mouth...family friendly
[01:42] <borgos> If someone winds up in #ubuntu they are capable of digesting free speech
[01:43] <skytrash> you cant say bomb on a plane or threaten someones life
[01:43] <skytrash> common sense is part of freedom
[01:43] <borgos> well sure you can
[01:43] <borgos> it might just inconvenience you
[01:43] <borgos> im just looking for some help with inability to login via gui
[01:44] <skytrash> you can, but not without being a douche bag
[01:44] <borgos> i will tip DOGE if someone can rectify my situation
[01:44]  * rww sighs
[01:44] <borgos> language skytrash
[01:44] <borgos> inappropriate
[01:44] <skytrash> no errors huh?
[01:44] <daftykins> children, children
[01:45] <skytrash> you using intel hd integrated chipset?
[01:45] <borgos> skytrash: .xsession-errors says unity-panel-service main process terminated with status 1
[01:45] <borgos> update-notifier-crash main process killed by TERM signal
[01:45] <borgos> i have radeon 7950
[01:45] <borgos> my box was fine, this is my first reboot since install
[01:45] <daftykins> borgos: can you stop pressing enter repeatedly please.
[01:45] <chaotic_good> I love resierFS
[01:45] <chaotic_good> :)
[01:45] <borgos> its certainly seen its fair share of updates and whatnot
[01:45] <chaotic_good> redo the box
[01:46] <borgos> daftykins: what the heck are you talking about
[01:46] <daftykins> type more per line instead of using enter as punctuation
[01:46] <skytrash> have you tried deleting your xorg.conf?
[01:47] <borgos> skytrash: im not a linux expert, and as such have not tried that before. im concerned about doing so and making things worse, but i suppose not being able to login is bad enough. let me try
[01:47] <borgos> daftykins: I take offense
[01:48] <skytrash> borgos: yeah no worries, it will re-create itself
[01:48] <rww> no it won't. of course, it also doesn't exist by default this decade.
[01:49] <daftykins> rww: why don't you do anything?
[01:50] <borgos> i dont have an xorg.conf file in /usr/lib/X11
[01:50] <borgos> am i looking in the wrong spot?
[01:51] <skytrash> X -configure
[01:51] <rww> borgos: it would be in /etc/X11/, if it existed.
[01:51] <skytrash> then boom
[01:52] <borgos> rmw: dont have that either :(
[01:52] <borgos> guess im doomed
[01:52] <skytrash> or is it Xorg -configure
[01:53] <rww> skytrash: what are you trying to achieve with this line of inquiry?
[01:53] <skytrash> rww: im trying to help my friend here
[01:53] <platonic> I know what he's trying to achieve.  Admin privileges.
[01:54] <rww> skytrash: by telling them to delete a file that they probably don't have, which wouldn't solve their problem anyway, and then pondering ways to generate such a file?
[01:54] <borgos> I appreciate the efforts
[01:54] <skytrash> oh yeah
[01:54] <borgos> I'm a total linux noob so I get stuck pretty fast
[01:54] <borgos> ive had a lot of problems with linux over the past 10 + years, but never seen the reboot and cant login again issue:(
[01:55] <chaotic_good> redo the box
[01:55] <borgos> this is why im on windows and osx
[01:55] <chaotic_good> dnt use gui login
[01:55] <chaotic_good> :)
[01:55] <skytrash> can you login in the terminal?
[01:55] <borgos> skytrash: yes
[01:55] <borgos> ctrl-alt-F1 i can login
[01:55] <borgos> gui i cannot
[01:55] <Busybyeski> good. you're now confined to the terminal for the rest of your life
[01:55] <borgos> this was my windows desktop replacement, first reboot
[01:56] <borgos> the terminal is....terminal
[01:56] <borgos> i dont want to die!
[01:56] <skytrash> you using gdm?
[01:56] <borgos> im not sure, it was just a default ubuntu install
[01:56] <skytrash> 12.04?
[01:56] <borgos> i tried installing gdm, didnt help
[01:56] <borgos> 13.10
[01:56] <platonic> borgos: sudo apt-get install gdm.
[01:57] <rww> ...
[01:57] <borgos> platonic: i did that, then rebooted, got a different GUI but still couldnt login
[01:57] <naryfa> sudo apt-get install windows XP
[01:57] <borgos> it goes black screen then back to gui login
[01:57] <platonic> You did not do that.  You did sudo su root; passwd.
[01:58] <borgos> um no i did not
[01:58] <borgos> i haven ot changed my password
[01:58] <borgos> and i definitely installed then removed gdm
[01:58] <kirfu> Hey, I currently have a hard drive with a dual boot ubuntu/windows. I bought another hard drive which I will add to the computer I want to copy over my Ubuntu to the new hard drive but leave windows on the old one. Is there a guide/easyish way to do this?
[01:58] <skytrash> have you tried to reconfigure your xserver?
[01:58] <skytrash> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:59] <platonic> terminally.
[01:59] <rww> skytrash: not sure why you think that would help considering xorg clearly works since they can get to a graphical login manager?
[01:59] <redst0rm> Hi guys o/
[02:00] <skytrash> i have had similar issues and had to set nouveau.modeset=0
[02:00] <platonic> I noticed redst0rm inned.
[02:00] <skytrash> rww: thought he said he gets a black screen
[02:00] <borgos> skytrash: tried that, no luck
[02:00] <redst0rm> Anyone here is runnin' the Ubuntu 14.04 beta 1 ?
[02:00] <borgos> im pretty sure im fubar :(
[02:00] <rww> redst0rm: the people in #ubuntu+1 are
[02:01] <redst0rm> i need help .. it won't install anything via Software center :/
[02:01] <kirfu> Hey, I currently have a hard drive with a dual boot ubuntu/windows. I bought another hard drive which I will add to the computer I want to copy over my Ubuntu to the new hard drive but leave windows on the old one. Is there a guide/easyish way to do this?
[02:01] <naryfa> What is it called when you cannot launch a terminal in Ubuntu?
[02:01] <redst0rm> Okay ty rww (:
[02:01] <naryfa> It is terminally ill.
[02:01] <a7i3n_> ee
[02:01] <borgos> skytrash and rmw thanks for your help even tho im screwed :)
[02:01] <platonic> kirfu: Some other way to do that is to get windows and leave Ubuntu installed.
[02:02] <kirfu> huh?
[02:02] <kirfu> if I use ddrescue I can copy the drives one for one.
[02:02] <kirfu> And then delete the windows one from my new drive and just repartition correct?
[02:03] <TJ-> borgos: Have you tried logging in as the guest user? If that works the at least we know it's a user-profile issue
[02:03] <kirfu> But then how will my dual boot work? Will I have to switch which drive to boot from in the bois each time?
[02:03] <borgos> TJ-: guest user does same black screen > back to login issue
[02:04] <lkthomas> does anyone test pxe boot installation for ubuntu? do I need to use apt-mirror the mirror 100GB+ repo ?
[02:04] <TJ-> borgos: OK, that helps .... can you do "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and tell us the URL of the pastebin it creates?
[02:05] <skytrash> borgos: in /etc/default/grub
[02:05] <borgos> http://paste.ubuntu.org/7117483
[02:06] <skytrash> borgos: pastebin that
[02:06] <borgos> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7117483 is correct my bad
[02:06] <TJ-> borgos: that URL seems to be incomplete, getting 404 not found
[02:06] <TJ-> borgos: thanks :)
[02:07] <skytrash> in your grub_cmdline_linux_default try adding nomodeset
[02:07] <skytrash> or  radeon.modeset=0
[02:08] <skytrash> or you can do it at boot screen
[02:08] <skytrash> of grub
[02:08] <TJ-> borgos: That seems to indicate it's not a driver issue, more-like a window-manager issue
[02:08] <borgos> sorry im a noob where do i edit that?
[02:08] <skytrash> borgos: in /etc/default/grub
[02:09] <TJ-> skytrash: There isn't a problem with mode-setting, the issue is the WM session is failing to log-in
[02:09] <skytrash> really how do you know?
[02:10] <borgos> /
[02:10] <TJ-> skytrash: because I've read what borgos has described about his issue
[02:10] <TJ-> borgos: OK, can you pastebin this? "sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | pastebinit"
[02:11] <skytrash> ahhh, ok im seeing the "working url"
[02:12] <borgos> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7117501/
[02:12] <kcdehimposter> Hey I am on Ubuntu 13.10 and just switched my graphics driver to a propietary version, but now my screen doesn't take up my whole monitor, how can I switch it to take up my whole monitor?
[02:14] <platonic> kcdehimposter: I see what you mean.  Graphics can switch using Umon.
[02:15] <TJ-> borgos: The user account name is "ubuntu" ?
[02:15] <borgos> user account is simply "user"
[02:16] <TJ-> borgos: ahh, OK, that was, I thought, lightdm's way of saying 'some user name', didn't realise it was literal :)
[02:16] <borgos> i dont have much of an imagination lol
[02:16] <TJ-> borgos: "sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log | pastebinit"
[02:17] <borgos> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7117520/
[02:17] <ahmad_> I need help with dual booting
[02:17] <TJ-> borgos: I'm seeing this "Session: Failed during authentication" which could indicate a password issue - something like the NumLock or Caps Lock being on without you realising, or could be something else entirely
[02:18] <borgos> TJ-: i can login just fine via console with ctrl-alt-F1
[02:18] <TJ-> borgos: OK, worth checking the obvious. I've had the GUI toggle the Caps Lock sense when the TTYs were fine
[02:19] <kcdehimposter> platonic: What do you mean by Umon? I just looked and can't find what you might be refering to
[02:19] <borgos> yeah i understand. i sextuple checked that and i am definitely doing the correct pw in gui that works in console
[02:19] <ahmad_> COuld some one help me with dual booting please grub dosent see my windows 8
[02:19] <rww> keyboard layout change?
[02:19] <TJ-> borgos: It's getting beyond the authentication I think, need to persue the logs further :)
[02:20] <platonic> dpkg-reconfigure xorgserver.  I put an alias in my script.
[02:20] <borgos> TJ-: I really appreciate the help.
[02:21] <ahmad_> hello....
[02:21] <kcdehimposter> platonic: Was that for me?
[02:21] <platonic> Hi ahmad_.  I noticed you while you were searching for dual-boot.
[02:22] <ahmad_> yes i need some help
[02:22] <platonic> I also noticed kcdehimposter asking me a question I already answered.
[02:22] <ahmad_> grub dose not see my windows 8
[02:22] <ahmad_> so icant pick it when booting
[02:23] <platonic> It's okay.  It's probably UEFI BIOS.  Switch BIOS to old boot method.
[02:23] <platonic> It might be that you have to use Windows before Ubuntu.
[02:23] <ahmad_> i Hvae them on two diffrent harddrives too
[02:24] <ahmad_> i feel like that has something to do with it idk tho
[02:24] <platonic> First hard drive must have Windows to dual-boot.
[02:24] <TJ-> borgos: Have you installed/changed default display manager (gdm/kdm) ?
[02:24] <ahmad_> It does have windows my second is linux
[02:24] <TJ-> borgos: There are some issues I'm finding where if an alternative has been installed and selected, it 'upsets' the configuration when switching back to the original
[02:25] <borgos> TJ-:  not before the problems arised. as part of troubleshooting i did install gdm, booted to that, got a diff GUI screen, still unable to login tho (black screen)
[02:25] <platonic> ahmad_: F2 on boot.
[02:25] <borgos> TJ-: i didnt install anything until i had issues. let me try uninstalling gdm again
[02:26] <ahmad_> and then what?
[02:26] <TJ-> borgos: OK, well it might be worth trying to persue the clean-up that is recommended for that, which requires doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and selecting the default DM *before* removing gdm
[02:26] <platonic> Read the dialog.  It will tell you which configuration you can edit for hardware.
[02:27] <checkit_> Hey guys. What is a good maldet equiv for ubuntu?
[02:27] <philaneous> TJ-: thank you for your help
[02:27] <philaneous> TJ-: i resolved my issue(s)
[02:27] <lkthomas> is there have ubuntu server IRC channel ?
[02:27] <TJ-> philaneous: sorted now?
[02:27] <philaneous> TJ-: Yes sir
[02:27] <TJ-> :)
[02:27] <ahmad_> ive tried changing which dirve boots first it didnt do anything
[02:27] <philaneous> TJ-: i have symbolink that was broken too
[02:28] <TJ-> philaneous: I've had the out-of-space issue a few times because I'm installing self-built test kernels and forget to clean up :)
[02:28] <Tom1> hello all
[02:28] <philaneous> TJ-: another issue i found that it was saying that i had .37 installed when i tried removing it, it stated that it didnt exist,
[02:28] <philaneous> TJ-: so i reinstalled it
[02:28] <philaneous> that fixed a lot of my issues
[02:28] <platonic> TJ-: What kernels do you build?
[02:29] <TJ-> platonic: good ones :)
[02:29] <borgos> TJ-: just tried that, but same error :(  httpL//paste.ubuntu.com/7117557
[02:30] <platonic> TJ-: borgos has no clue what you're doing.  But borgos has a good point.
[02:30] <borgos> sorry i mean to say i installed gdm, no dice, uninstalled gdm and switched to lightwm then got the error i just pastebined
[02:32] <platonic> borgos, what are you doing with gdm and other wms?
[02:32] <borgos> i dont know :(
[02:33] <TJ-> ouch - /home/ just hit 100%
[02:33] <borgos> i had working ubuntu, rebooted, and can no longer login via gui. i have no clue what the default gui is or if i was using it successfully before or not
[02:33] <borgos> i was on vanilla 13.10
[02:35] <rafs> join /elementary
[02:35] <rafs> ops
[02:35] <TJ-> borgos: It looks as if the 'session' settings are causing this, it's worth firstly ensuring the display server has stopped: "sudo service lightdm stop" and then reconfiguring it "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" in case config files need resetting to defaults. Then, you can try restarting the DM: "sudo service lightdm start"
[02:37] <peyam> Hi
[02:37] <ahmad_> planatonic: Ive swapped the order in which my drives boot and i still get nothing on my grub for windows 8
[02:38] <Tom1> my computer runs hotter on puppy linux than on windows
[02:38] <Tom1>  almost 15 celsius hotter than windows
[02:38] <chaotic_good> poopy
[02:38] <peyam> I use my TV as monitor and I have quit bad picture with hdmi. I wonder if I change it to vga will it still have this resolution 1920x1080?
[02:38] <platonic> That's because Windows 8 supports UEFI.  You need to adjust the settings in the BIOS for SSD/HDD to toggle on another level.
[02:39] <platonic> But don't do that just yet.
[02:39] <peyam> Tom1, yes. if you got a better power manager in Windows you will get a cooler cpu
[02:39] <borgos> TJ-: still no dice. tried that. I appreciate your help, if you have a BTC or DOGE addr let me know
[02:39] <ahmad_> What should i try next
[02:40] <peyam> ahmad_, why not insert you win 8 disk and repair the boot menu?
[02:40] <chro> hi, I need to resize my sda1 partition, what live CD can I use for that?
[02:40] <platonic> ahmad_: Take the next step in using F11/F12 for booting SSD/HDD.
[02:40] <ahmad_> I dont have it i installed from a friends usb
[02:40] <chro> (I want to download something as small as possible
[02:41] <TJ-> borgos: I'm trying to reproduce it here, but no luck so far
[02:41] <mrpcguy> WHAT'S UP SCRIPT KIDDIES!
[02:41] <platonic> HIIII!
[02:41] <ahmad_> okay ill be back
[02:41] <ahmad_> i hope i dont have to lol
[02:41] <peyam> ahmad_, have you tried boot repair?
[02:41] <Beldar> chro, gparted has a download bootable, several even smaller OS's
[02:42] <ahmad_> no where is that
[02:42] <peyam> ahmad_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[02:42] <peyam> this will repair your grub
[02:42] <mrpcguy> i'm so ready for ubuntu 14.04 to come out.
[02:42] <peyam> and you see the menu
[02:42] <peyam> mrpcguy, Im will in 13.04
[02:42] <chro> great, thanks
[02:43] <Tom1> peyam: is it a bug in linux which makes computer run hotter?
[02:43] <peyam> s
[02:43] <peyam> *
[02:43] <TJ-> borgos: what does this report? "readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager"
[02:43] <Tom1> peyam: what can i do solve this problem?
[02:43] <peyam> Tom1, no! it's the wasy they work.  Power managers may cool down the system.
[02:44] <peyam> Tom1, what is ur computer specification? AMD?
[02:44] <peyam> INTE?
[02:44] <peyam> Intel?
[02:44] <borgos> TJ-: /usr/bin/gnome-session
[02:44] <Tom1> peyam: mine is a intel q6600 quad core processor
[02:44] <Tom1> peyam:8 gb ram
[02:44] <TJ-> borgos: Good
[02:44] <Tom1> peyam:750 gb hdd
[02:44] <borgos> im shocked :)
[02:45] <rww> Tom1: graphics card?
[02:45] <Tom1> peyam: i am intel integrated graphics chip
[02:46] <peyam> Tom1, okej. Clearly Windows wants to use full power of you system. It can be becouse of the drivers. but it's still not a problem! if you concern about your electricity consuption then you can adjust the graphics and turn off some services and startups
[02:46] <peyam> Tom1, but still how hot is ur computer? on windows and Linux?
[02:47] <peyam> On battery power it's the other way. Linux in generell uses alot more battery than windows. I don't know why
[02:47] <Tom1> peyam: on linux its runs around 65 c and on windows 7 it runs around 41-43 c
[02:47] <peyam> Tom1, ohh ohh. it's the other way
[02:47] <peyam> sorry
[02:47] <peyam> is it a laptop?
[02:47] <chro> Beldar: which version should I download? I don't find any link for an ISO, my arch is x64
[02:47] <Tom1> peyam: its a desktop
[02:48] <Tom1> peyam: and in linux the task manager shows that i have very less cpu usage and very low ram usage but still the temp is high
[02:48] <Tom1> very complicated
[02:48] <peyam> Tom1, yes 65 is high for  desktop on linux
[02:48] <Tom1> yes
[02:48] <Tom1> but on window 7 it runs arounf 43 c
[02:48] <peyam> what is ur distro?
[02:48] <Arafangion> peyam: I've heard similar...  Manufacturers tend to focus more on power management lately.  I've heard that if you want to run linux on the mac books, for instance, the most efficient way is to isntall OS X, and then linux in a VM, simply because OS X is where apple put their power management.
[02:49] <Tom1> peyam: ubuntu 12.10
[02:49] <Arafangion> peyam: I wouldn't be surprised if most of the other manufacturers do similar with windows and their systems.
[02:49] <peyam> Arafangion, yes. Lenovo has done a excellent job lately with power managing! That's why i love IBM computers
[02:49] <TJ-> borgos: on the possibility that recent package upgrade has broken the system, how about ensuring the system is entirely up-to-date? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[02:49] <cassio> hey guys. so I rebooted my minimal installation
[02:49] <peyam> Tom1, It can be a bug in kernel since the k ernel in 12.10 is old
[02:49] <cassio> it seems okay
[02:49] <Arafangion> peyam: Lenovo systems haven't been IBM for at least a decade.
[02:50] <cassio> but, there are no icons in the unity dock thing
[02:50] <cassio> has anyone seen this problem before?
[02:50] <Tom1> peyan: i see, i will try the newer ubuntu, does it runs cooler on computers?
[02:50] <peyam> Arafangion, yes. I meant lenevo system,. I got myself two of them. People still dont know that Lenovo was originally IBM computers.
[02:50] <peyam> Tom1, right now on Xubuntu I have 34
[02:51] <cassio> peyam, yes lenovo was the original mfr of ibm thinkpads
[02:51] <Tom1> peyam: that nice , 34 c is very low temp,
[02:51] <Arafangion> peyam: The impression I had was that IBM outsourced manufacture of their laptops (and later, desktops) to Lenovo, but allowed them to rebrand them as IBM.
[02:51] <peyam> Arafangion, the point was that the power management system works excelent
[02:51] <peyam> Arafangion, I would love to have a IBM brand on my thinkpads
[02:51] <Arafangion> peyam: They probably kept to publised standards.
[02:51] <TJ-> borgos: Once you've done that, let's delete lightdm's authority file with "sudo service lightdm stop; sudo rm /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority" ... then try restarting the DM, with "sudo service lightdm start"
[02:52] <Arafangion> peyam: Why?
[02:52] <Tom1>  peyam: i have a q600 quad core cpu , 8 gb ram and 750 gb hdd, are these specs sufficient to run newer ubuntu?
[02:52] <peyam> Tom1, Yes, XFCE is very light and I have a nice spu fan. it's a noctua :D
[02:53] <peyam> Tom1, yes. if you can have win 7 so you can have ubuntu :D
[02:53] <Tom1> peyam thanks for info buddy, i will install newer ubuntu and see what happens
[02:54] <Arafangion> Tom1: Ubuntu seems to work fine on my eeePC laptop, although it's very slow to run apps (which I suspect is due to not having installed it yet... It's runnign from Live USB).
[02:54] <peyam> Tom1, I would go with xubuntu. you would love it!
[02:54] <Arafangion> Tom1: Doesn't support the eeePC touchpad though, not sure why.  Also it's an Atom CPU.
[02:54] <Tom1>  peyam: which version of xubuntu peyam?
[02:54] <peyam> I use 13.04 :)
[02:55] <Tom1> i see
[02:55] <Tom1> how;s linux mint 16 xfce peyam, is it good ?
[02:56] <peyam> Tom1, I dont like Mint sorry. I dont know what made me think that mint is nothing for me. .. I think Xubuntu is the best choice for xfce users
[02:56] <cassio> cAAIO
[02:58] <Arafangion> Tom1: It's worth noting that mint, debian, and ubuntu, are all quite different.  Not actually familiar with mint myself, but as a debian user, ubuntu and debian are quite differetn.
[02:59] <peyam> Debian kiled my system once! :(
[02:59] <Arafangion> Eh?
[02:59] <peyam> yeah. :(
[02:59] <borgos> TJ-:  I am running the update cmds now, will run the lightdm delete when its done in about 15 mins
[02:59] <Arafangion> peyam: Please do elaborate.
[03:00] <TJ-> borgos: ouch, 15 mins?! I suspect deleting the Xauthority will be the solution, I'd forgotten about that one
[03:00] <peyam> Arafangion, I dont remember but it's was something with grub i couldnt fix. and some drivers that refused to be installed
[03:01] <TJ-> borgos: I have to leave now, hope you get it sorted :)
[03:01] <Arafangion> peyam: So you installed them from outside the debian repository.  Not debian's fault then!
[03:01] <borgos> TJ-:  i tried deleting xauthority before asking for help it didnt work
[03:01] <peyam> Arafangion, totally true! but hte grub thing was a debian fault
[03:01] <borgos> thanks for your help
[03:02] <TJ-> borgos: The lightdm xauthority, or the user's home directory ?
[03:02] <Arafangion> peyam: Possibly, was that while installing a debian kernel, or your own?
[03:02] <borgos> i dont remember lol
[03:02] <Arafangion> peyam: If you did your own, did you follow debian's documentation? (make-kpkg and all that?)
[03:02] <peyam> debian kernel. I dont remember but it was some point in november last year.. if it's newer version now
[03:03] <Tom1> peyam: i agree with you , i also used debian once and it gave me lot system crashes and made my windows 7 os unbootable and then i had to finally reinstall  windows 7
[03:03] <TJ-> borgos: I'd suspect it was the /home/$USER/.Xauthority.  Check the date/time of the one in "sudo ls -latr /var/log/lightdm/" it's probably stale (from before the system crash)
[03:03] <Arafangion> peyam: November... Which release?
[03:03] <Tom1> don;t know why,
[03:03] <peyam> I don't remember. wheezl something?
[03:03] <Arafangion> peyam: Should've been stable.  Curious.
[03:04] <peyam> Tom1, yes it's a common known. but there is a work around for it.
[03:04] <peyam> I love the Elementary choice of softwares
[03:04] <peyam> I didn't need to remove any unwished software when I once wanted to try it
[03:05] <Tom1> peyam: xubuntu is stable? i mean when i used ubuntu 12.10 it was giving me panic error ,messages just after booting into live mode, is it lot stable than ubuntu?
[03:05] <peyam> Arafangion, I use HDMI cable now. if I switch to vga , do you think I wil be able to obtain the same resolution? 1920x1080
[03:05] <platonic> I want to reboot.  But my reboot is croned.  What should I do?
[03:06] <peyam> Tom1, yes. since you wana dual boot you will maybe maybe force to remake the grub. in that case you repair the boot!
[03:06] <Tom1> peyam; that will i do, have to repair the boot
[03:07] <Tom1> i will try the xubuntu 13.04
[03:07] <Tom1> and see if it reduces the cpu temps
[03:07] <Arafangion> peyam: VGA tends to support very high resolutions, but you may get flickering or colour changes if there is too much interference.
[03:07] <xerium> hi all
[03:07] <peyam> Tom1, yes.. do it! IT wil defenatly do!
[03:07] <Arafangion> peyam: VGA's an analogue system, after all.
[03:07] <xerium> has anyone had any issues with their wireless network connection dropping on and off?
[03:07] <peyam> Arafangion, I prefer analog befor digital
[03:07] <Tom1> xerium: on ubuntu?
[03:08] <Arafangion> peyam: Why?  The monitors are digital now.
[03:08] <peyam> xerium, yes on Eduroam I have that issue that I haven't been able to fix
[03:08] <Arafangion> peyam: Digital -> Analogue -> Digital seems pointless.
[03:08] <peyam> Arafangion, in generellt I like analog with no leakage
[03:09] <Arafangion> There is always leakage.
[03:09] <peyam> Arafangion, yes. that's the sad part
[03:09] <Jeckidy> Cxu vi parolas esperanton?
[03:09] <peyam> Arafangion, are you an engineer ?
[03:09] <Ben64> uh, can we stay on topic please? Ubuntu support only
[03:10] <peyam> sory
[03:10] <Arafangion> peyam: Yes, please get back on topic. :)
[03:10] <Ben64> just use #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chat
[03:18] <chro> how can I check if everything is OK with my ubuntu installation/packages ?
[03:19] <Arafangion> chro: I'd use the eyeball method.
[03:19] <Arafangion> chro: What reason do you have to suspect that your ubuntu installation or packages are not OK?
[03:20] <chro> Arafangion: because I got errors while upgrading to 13.10, out of disk space
[03:20] <chro> then I rebooted, and it says I'm running 13.10
[03:20] <Arafangion> chro: Then I might suggest that not everything is OK with your Ubuntu installation.
[03:20] <Arafangion> chro: In particular, perhaps you have run out of disk space?
[03:20] <chro> Arafangion: so, what can I do to fix it? I already deleted stuff and now I have 2 more GB
[03:22] <Arafangion> chro: I'm not familiar with Ubuntu's partition scheme, however if you now have enough disk space in the right partitions, then you should be OK there, although your installation might be incomplete.
[03:22] <Arafangion> chro: I would probably just re-install those specific packages if you find or suspect an issue, eg, if Libreoffice doesn't start, I'd reinstall that.
[03:23] <chro> ok
[03:23] <Arafangion> chro: But if you have enough disk space (now) and everything seems to be fine, I wouldn't worry.
[03:23] <Arafangion> chro: I do, however, recommend you maintain your backups, but I always say that.
[03:24] <chro> thanks
[03:30] <chaotic_good> backups!!!
[03:30] <chaotic_good> thier pissa!
[03:31] <rww> o.O
[03:38] <Traucet> Sorry Linux fans. Had to go back to Windows. Only have so many weeks to try and make things I like work. Nvidia Drivers, Wine, WoW, Pipelight(Netflix).
[03:39] <Arafangion> Understandable. Consider using a VM instead of dualbooting if you're considering that, too.
[03:40] <chaotic_good> Traucet: good for u!
[03:40] <chaotic_good> lol
[03:40] <Traucet> Hate Dual booting, but I will put one instance of Ubuntu in a VM.
[03:41] <Arafangion> VM's on windows are very good - some, like VMware, even do 3D acceleration, if I hear right
[03:42] <Arafangion> Not sure if they do that with a linux guest though.
[03:43] <Traucet> Never tried it as I just used it as a web deveopment stack.
[03:44] <Arafangion> Fair enough.
[03:45] <Traucet> Although, I gave it a fair go as the sole OS on the system. Tried Several flavors of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch..Ohh well.
[03:46] <Arafangion> Traucet: Those all have fairly different ways of doign things.
[03:47] <Traucet> Exactly the reason I tried them.
[03:48] <Traucet> Wssnt working in, maybe changing up a bit would do the trick. Unfortunately not so much.
[03:58] <smulverine> hi all, is there a way to export desktop settings to another machine?
[03:58] <smulverine> been using unity for a few weeks and i want to copy the settings my laptop
[03:59] <smulverine> looked online but can't find anything about it
[04:02] <Guest6737> ?
[04:04] <Beldar> smulverine, compiz has an export, really depends on what you have done, many apps have exports or configs.
[04:04] <Tom1> Beldar: hello
[04:05] <smulverine> Beldar: well, it's still rather vanilla
[04:06] <smulverine> Beldar: haven't changed anything, in fact
[04:06] <smulverine> Beldar: so I have to install the compiz configuration manager?
[04:07] <smulverine> Beldar: apart from some keyboard shortcuts :S
[04:07] <Beldar> smulverine, I believe so it's not in the install, but compiz is there.
[04:07] <smulverine> Beldar: okay, let me try.  thanks
[04:20] <jerkey> hey, can anyone here (not themill) tell me what source i can find this package in: https://packages.debian.org/sid/android-tools-adb
[04:21] <krazz> hello
[04:23] <rww> jerkey: 1) this isn't a Debian channel, though I'm assuming you don't like #debian. 2) "Download Source Package android-tools"
[04:23] <Yakisoba-> Hi ! can you help me with this. Ubuntu 12 04. I can't see other PC in local network from Ubuntu. maybe something wrong in smb.conf?
[04:24] <jerkey> rww thank you, i'm trying to figure out how to add it to my /etc/apt/sources.list but i'm new to this stuff
[04:25] <rww> jerkey: are you using debian wheezy or something else?
[04:26] <jerkey> i'm running crunchbang.  I guess i figured it out, it was "deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid main" but i would like to know the correct way to find out things like this (i just tried random things until it worked)
[04:26] <rww> no, not sid. it's in wheezy-backports
[04:26] <rww> as the top right says
[04:26] <rww> wheezy-backports will break less stuff if you're on wheezy than sid will
[04:26] <rww> deb http://YOURMIRROR.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main
[04:27] <rww> which I got by googling wheezy-backports and ending up at http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
[04:27] <rww> Anyways. We don't support Crunchbang and neither does #debian. #crunchbang is the place for support questions in future.
[04:28] <skippydoo> hello, i would like to destroy the nouveau drivers and install drivers i got right from nvidia.  how might i do this (right now i had to hit ctrl - alt - f1) to be able to do anything. also, the computer can't get online yet.
[04:29] <jerkey> thank you rww
[04:29] <rww> you're welcome :)
[04:30] <Pinkamena_D> any easy command I could type right now which would say: suspend this computer in three hours?
[04:30] <rww> Pinkamena_D: leaving the terminal open in the meantime?
[04:31] <rww> (easier if you do, but either way is possible)
[04:31] <Pinkamena_D> yes
[04:31] <rww> sleep 3h; pm-suspend
[04:31] <Pinkamena_D> nice
[04:32] <rww> pm-suspend might need sudo, i forget
[04:32] <Pinkamena_D> needs sudo I presume?
[04:32] <rww> if so, it'd be sleep 3h; sudo pm-suspend
[04:32] <rww> oh, but then password... hrm.
[04:32] <Pinkamena_D> I could just sudo su first, or that would expire after a while?
[04:32] <rww> oh true, that would work
[04:33] <QuinnStorm> sudo su doesn't expire
[04:33] <Pinkamena_D> cool
[04:33] <QuinnStorm> it launches a new shell as root, so until you log out that context it has root privs
[04:33] <QuinnStorm> 'sudo su -' if you want it to be a bit nicer to use
[04:34] <Pinkamena_D> nicer?
[04:34] <QuinnStorm> it sets up the shell and such as though you logged in as root instead of preserving a bunch of the user environment
[04:34] <QuinnStorm> its just...cleaner
[04:35] <QuinnStorm> doesn't matter really for this instance
[04:37] <skippydoo> ahem
[04:37] <skippydoo> cough cough
[04:42] <agent_white> Hello everyone
[04:43] <LCyrin> hai irc
[04:44]  * agent_white waves
[04:45] <NavinRJohnson> Hey everyone, I got a networking question. Computer A) IP-192.168.x.x and cant use any port forwarding from router.  Computer B) linux vps with ssh server.  I want to host a service on Computer A but have clients connect to IP:Port of Computer B, is this possible? I understand how to make outgoing ssh tunnels work if that helps at all.
[04:49] <agent_white> NavinRJohnson: Just a heads up, take this lightly since this might not be the best answer... but... Does computer A have iptables? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-port-redirection-with-iptables/
[04:50] <agent_white> Or possibly would you be looking to setup a proxy server on computer A?
[04:51] <NavinRJohnson> no i should have mentioned the os of computer A is win7
[04:51] <chaotic_good> anyone here use ubuntu as a router?
[04:53] <agent_white> NavinRJohnson: In that case I have no idea. But ##networking should be plenty of help!
[04:54] <NavinRJohnson> agent_white: I wasnt sure where to put this question but #networking would make a lot more sense. Thanks
[04:55] <agent_white> NavinRJohnson: Of course! Might as well 'spray n' pray' ;)
[04:55] <NavinRJohnson> agent_white: I agree. Accuracy by volume.
[04:56] <chaotic_good> ha proxy is kinda nice
[04:56] <chaotic_good> no one now needs f5 load balancer or cisco netscalers
[04:56] <chaotic_good> except arrgant network goon managers
[04:57] <Wash_Jones> Hey all. I'm trying to install the id3 system, but at the end of the ./configure process it gives me this error "configure: error: Missing a vital header file for id3lib". I didn't have automake/autoconf or zlib installed, but now I do, and it's still saying that. Anyone know what's up?
[05:06] <agent_white> Wash_Jones: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18545/installing-suggested-recommended-packages
[05:08] <skippydoo> hello, i would like to destroy the nouveau drivers and install drivers i got right from nvidia.  how might i do this (right now i had to hit ctrl - alt - f1) to be able to do anything. also, the computer can't get online yet.
[05:11] <agent_white> skippydoo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Removing_Nouveau_.28advanced.2BAC8-expert_users.29
[05:12] <agent_white> skippydoo: For future Googling endeavors; "drivers right from nvidia" are called 'proprietary drivers'.
[05:13] <chaotic_good> yeah
[05:13] <chaotic_good> yeahhhhh
[05:13] <chaotic_good> apt-get install -y xorg
[05:13] <chaotic_good> done

[05:14]  * agent_white giggles
[05:14] <skippydoo> thanks agent_white i'm trying just now to manually (ctrl alt f1 ) instal the .run file from nvid... but as soon as that happens, it says 'dude, yer running x, stop that crap.'  how can i kill the x that seems to somehow be running?
[05:14] <rww> chaotic_good: in addition to unopaste's questionable communication, please increase your signal-to-noise ratio in general, since this *is* a support channel after all.
[05:14] <rww> skippydoo: sudo service lightdm stop, probably
[05:15] <skippydoo> if in there i type "who" it shows me trying to be in tty8. what was it again that i can kill tty8?
[05:15] <skippydoo> (that cmd you said seems to have worked)
[05:17] <agent_white> skippydoo: Googles for "kill tty session"
[05:17] <agent_white> skippydoo: http://kb.iu.edu/data/adqw.html  --or-- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15195470/how-to-kill-the-tty-in-unix
[05:17] <skippydoo> ok, fine. i just thought it was a simple command that i used to know....
[05:18] <agent_white> skippydoo: Oh no my friend! Just trying to help your Google skills! It helps to know "what to Google for", ya know?
[05:20] <Wash_Jones> Hey, White, thanks for that, by the way. Didn't notice because I actually wound up finding a guide elsewhere that solved my problem, but thanks anyhow!
[05:20] <Wash_Jones> I'll probably still find it useful.
[05:21] <skippydoo> agent_white, i think i'm ok... but i wondering if i need to kill that old nvidia driver now that it's trying to put on this new one.
[05:21] <skippydoo> this prop one
[05:22] <agent_white> skippydoo: What _I_ do when I'm installing a new video driver is ensure I'm logged in with a single shell session. No window managers, etc.
[05:23] <skippydoo> agent_white, i was in the ctrl alt f1 place -- if you know what i mean.
[05:23] <agent_white> skippydoo: So just... only "command prompt"?
[05:24] <agent_white> skippydoo: If you're iffy, I would say to restart your machine and get back to that "command prompt".
[05:24] <skippydoo> well, that didn't work. x is crying now.... says it's not config'd right.
[05:25] <agent_white> Well it can cry, as long as it's not crying for nouveau.
[05:25] <skippydoo> i hate video drivers.
[05:25] <agent_white> Me too.
[05:25] <skippydoo> wish they just worked like windows.
[05:25] <skippydoo> all i bloody want to do is get rid of these drivers and use ones i got right from nvidia.
[05:26] <agent_white> What for, anyways?
[05:26] <AussieDownUnder> I thought nvidia were supposed to work better than amd on linux. I'm using amd & the drivers put themself on
[05:26] <AussieDownUnder> skippydoo, did you go to the system settings - additional drivers section?
[05:26] <skippydoo> cause i boot to a blk scr   can't do anything unless i hit ctrl alt f1
[05:26] <AussieDownUnder> If you wait at that screen options for drivers should come up
[05:26] <AussieDownUnder> skippydoo, did you just install ubuntu?
[05:26] <agent_white> Nvidia work worse, and being "close-source" as proprietary code/drivers tend to be... unless you have a usecase NEEDING the proprietary drivers, nouveau are better off.
[05:26] <skippydoo> i can't go to .... cause my scr is blk!!!!!
[05:27] <skippydoo> this is my EXACT problem:   http://luizfar.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/how-to-switch-off-xps1340-discrete-video-card-on-linux/
[05:27] <agent_white> skippydoo: Don't lose hope!  Also, to be sure you got everything removed, I generally do the "apt-get search noueavu | grep installed" to see if I accidentally forgot to remove something.
[05:31] <skippydoo> says invalid searcch
[05:35] <skippydoo> this is just stupid. i need xp or something....
[05:35] <skippydoo> it can't do winders 7... can't do linux... what the heck.
[05:35] <skippydoo> i hate this laptop.
[05:36] <skippydoo> i wanna stab the person at nvidia that thunk it was a cool idea to put in two graphics cards in a laptop.
[05:38] <Tazen> lol
[05:38] <andry> nvidia optimus?
[05:42] <skippydoo> it is a dell 1340 with two gfx cards.
[05:42] <skippydoo> no one can make this work now...
[05:42] <CPPLIN> How to I increase the size of the root file system ? .. I actually formatted two xp drives.. I wanted to add the extra space to the root file system
[05:43] <andry> skippydoo, one intel, one nvidia?
[05:43] <CPPLIN> I had a dual boot of xp and ubuntu.. now from ubuntu I formatted the xp drives to ext4.. but they just automount as drives..
[05:43] <skippydoo> CPPLIN, type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gparted         in a terminal window    -   hit ctrl alt t to get that
[05:43] <skippydoo> both nvidia
[05:43] <QuinnStorm> CPPLIN: gparted won't resize the root filesystem, and if they are separate disks you actually need something like lvm to pull them together into one fs
[05:44] <QuinnStorm> CPPLIN: that is it won't resize it if its booted from that root fs
[05:44] <QuinnStorm> you'd need to boot from a liveusb or something
[05:44] <skippydoo> ooh, well, yeah, what quinigan is saying is right. just do it from a live cd or a live usbkey that's the best way.
[05:45] <andry> did you add busid in xorg.conf? to define the primary card? i guess you get no x screen?
[05:45] <CPPLIN> QunnStorm: its a single disk..with different logical drives.
[05:45] <QuinnStorm> ok
[05:45] <QuinnStorm> so different partitions
[05:45] <CPPLIN> yes
[05:45] <QuinnStorm> then yeah you'll just need to boot a livecd/liveusb and run gparted from it
[05:45] <QuinnStorm> I think there's even a gparted live distro
[05:46] <QuinnStorm> do be careful not to interrupt it while its working though (make sure you're plugged in if its a laptop, etc.)
[05:46] <skippydoo> andry, no. i have no clue what i'm doing. i'm about to cry.  i do / must kill the 9200 card and only use the 9400 card. that would help sooo much. and solve my probs.
[05:46] <CPPLIN> ok.. but Last time when I checked live cd for 10.04 I guess I didn't find gparted.
[05:47] <andry> skippydoo, can you run lspci |grep -i nvidia ?
[05:47] <CPPLIN> I have created a usb for 12.04.. hope it helps
[05:47] <xennygrimmato> Is there any way I can install libboost-1.49 on Ubuntu 12.04 ? When I try to install it, I get an error saying it is "not installable".
[05:47] <skippydoo> andry, pm ok? i'm really going nuts here at this point.
[05:47] <andry> ok
[05:47] <QuinnStorm> it might be on that, I don't remember
[05:47] <QuinnStorm> if it gets internet you can probably apt-get install it
[05:47] <QuinnStorm> if it isn't there

[07:09] <geirha> emir: the part between   \[\e]0; and \a\]   ends up as xterm title. Remove everything but \w
[07:10] <mandabajuhitam> hi? can you help me bro?
[07:11] <mandabajuhitam> i'm #opnewblood
[07:11] <emir> I've insert PS1="${PWD} \$ " and that does it... it only displays pwd, but it's not permanent... how do I make it permanent ?
[07:12] <geirha> emir: that only changes your prompt, not the terminal title, but anyway, you put it in ~/.bashrc to make it "permanent"
[07:12] <Tazmain> hi all, with a ubuntu minimal install what would be better to install unity or xubuntu ?
[07:13] <geirha> emir: Oh, and you used the wrong quotes. You need '' quotes there, not "" quotes
[07:13] <mandabajuhitam> i'd find tools of ubuntu.. can you help me?
[07:13] <k0fee> tozen i see the isos to download but no repo lists currently going ok for natty
[07:13] <k0fee> if i have to i'll download the iso just to mount it copy the repo files over
[07:14] <k0fee> after this i'm going to dd mirror the drive so won't have to go through this again
[07:14] <emir> @geirha I don't have ~/.bashrc in ~/ only bash_history and bach_logout... I make it or what ?
[07:14] <geirha> emir: Then you've either removed it, or your user got created in a weird way
[07:15] <emir> @geirha I have no idea how that happened... did I mentioned that I'm on linux mint mate
[07:16] <geirha> Oh, this channel is for Ubuntu support
[07:16] <mandabajuhitam> oh come on!!! why you didn't see my text
[07:17] <emir> well I'm thinking is the same thing at the end :)

[07:26] <mandabajuhitam> who knows the channel abouts of opnewblood?
[07:26] <jasabelle> i type man inetd and man xinetd and i dont have any infocome up
[07:26] <jasabelle> should i install xinetd? (i.e. sudo apt-get install xinetd)
[07:26] <jasabelle> i read somewhere it's deprecated
[07:27] <ikonia> mandabajuhitam: this channel is for ubuntu technical support only - please stick to that topic
[07:27] <Tazmain> mandabajuhitam, opnewblood here ?
[07:28] <Kartagis> my disk has reiserfs on it, but testdisk doesn't list reiserfs. any ideas what I can choose?
[07:28] <ikonia> Kartagis: you should only select the file system you are using - nothing else
[07:29] <Kartagis> ikonia: I have Intel, EFI GPT, Humax, Mac, None, Sun, Xbox
[07:29] <ikonia> Kartagis: what has that got to do with anything ?
[07:29] <ikonia> they are just random words
[07:30] <Kartagis> oh damn, it said partition table type
[07:30] <Kartagis> not filesystem
[07:30] <Kartagis> sorry for the language
[07:30] <Kartagis> ikonia: have you got an idea what partition table type I should choose?
[07:31] <jasabelle> lol coredump
[07:31] <ikonia> Kartagis: what partition table are you using.....
[07:31] <Kartagis> ikonia: no idea, how can I check?
[07:32] <ikonia> open the disk in a partition editor
[07:32] <Kartagis> like gparted? and then?
[07:34] <FuuqUmiist> honest answer, would there be an issues when upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04?
[07:34] <grahamsavage> converting flac to mp3 in ubuntu.. any ideas?
[07:34] <grahamsavage> i've tried ffmpeg and soundconverter.. both many errors out of both
[07:35] <jasabelle> is inetd/xinetd deprecated in ubuntu 12.04.4 lts?
[07:35] <jasabelle> (server)

[07:38] <grahamsavage> ikonia: context
[07:38] <ikonia> grahamsavage: no
[07:46] <jasabelle> so are the packages the ubuntu installer offers to install after OS installation the versions which are tested as being stable wiyth the LTS release?
[07:47] <jasabelle> (as oppoesd to the apt-get ones, which are newer but not neccessarily more stable)
[07:53] <akiva-mobile> is ubuntu theming recommended? I notice that you can't really import themes anymore,
[07:53] <jotaj> hello
[07:53] <jotaj> i have one answer about "be ubuntu mirror"
[07:53] <akiva-mobile> I wanted to get a sublime text theming.
[07:53] <akiva-mobile> jotaj, be ubuntu mirror?
[07:53] <jotaj> i need to config what i want to download from ubuntu
[07:54] <jotaj> i need to restrict betas etc
[07:54] <akiva-mobile> jotaj, you have a question, or an answer?
[07:54] <jotaj> question XD sorry
[07:54] <akiva-mobile> ah
[07:55] <akiva-mobile> jotaj, is english your first language?
[07:55] <akiva-mobile> jotaj, just asking, because there may be an ubuntu channel which you can speak natively.
[07:56] <jnhghy> How do I install google chrome stable on my ubuntu 12.04? I've checked with uname -a and it outputed: Linux any-945GCMX-S2 3.2.0-24-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 10:47:59 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[07:56] <akiva-mobile> jnhghy, google chrome, or Chromium?
[07:57] <jnhghy> chrome
[07:57] <akiva-mobile> hummmm, why not chromium ?
[07:57] <jnhghy> akiva-mobile: ubuntu doesn't support chrome?
[07:58] <akiva-mobile> jnhghy, you can get anything to run on ubuntu
[07:58] <akiva-mobile> from what I understand, chromium would be better, but  :P
[07:59] <jnhghy> akiva-mobile: well I tired chromium like 1 year ago and didn't liked it ... and would like to use chrome ... but I'm having trouble installing it ...
[07:59] <akiva-mobile> jnhghy, okay; fair enough.
[08:00] <akiva-mobile> might want to try chromium again, although im not sure if its updated on 12.04
[08:02] <grahamsavage> i'm looking for a programming to rename files.. something simple like replace /.*(\d\d).*/ with \1    I've tried 5 applications now
[08:02] <grahamsavage> none of them seem to support this.. id like somethign with a preview mode
[08:02] <akiva-mobile> grahamsavage, uhmm so you have a bunch of files that need renaming?
[08:02] <grahamsavage> i can do it using sed / or perl but i'd prefer not too
[08:02] <wsnipex> sed
[08:02] <akiva-mobile> grahamsavage, oh well I was going to suggest python. :P
[08:03] <wsnipex> or bash directly
[08:03] <akiva-mobile> ^
[08:03] <grahamsavage> wsnipix: yeah i do it all the time so i'd like one where i can preview the output
[08:04] <akiva-mobile> grahamsavage, want to pay me? I'll make you a python script that does that  :P
[08:04] <wsnipex> make a script thats accepts  a switch for preview
[08:04] <somsip> grahamsavage: does this point you in a helpful direction? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15380205/rename-multiple-files-in-bash
[08:07] <grahamsavage> ohhhh
[08:07] <grahamsavage> rename -n 's/.*(\d\d).*/1x$1.mp3/
[08:07] <grahamsavage> very nice :D
[08:08] <somsip> grahamsavage: I won't vouch for the validity of what you've just suggested, but a test on a sample of files should give you a good enough test
[08:08] <grahamsavage> yeah it works great
[08:08] <somsip> grahamsavage: cool
[08:08] <grahamsavage> and the -n is a preview
[08:09] <grahamsavage> lol.. all the gui apps were a waste of time
[08:10] <geirha> Just note that rename is not a standard command and that several different commands by that name exist. For instance, that command won't work on a redhat system, since it has a different rename command installed by default.
[08:12] <cateract> Hey I"m trying to share my laptop wifi with my android device,
[08:13] <cateract> I found that it can be done using hostapd
[08:13] <cateract> but I could not connect using hostapd, it gives error
[08:14] <cateract> like ""Failed to update rate sets in kernel module""
[08:14] <cateract> and "could not connect to kernel driver"
[08:15] <cateract> and at last "Failed to set beacon parameters"
[08:15] <cateract> How do i overcome this error
[08:17] <jnhghy> what is the chromium package name to be used with apt-get in ubuntu 12.04? I tried chromium-bsu but the mirror seems to be down any other package?
[08:19] <somsip> !info chromium-browser precise
[08:23] <banana_> sup
[08:23] <Tazmain> hi all, can I do a do-release-upgrade over ssh ?
[08:24] <jnhghy> why do I get : W: Failed to fetch http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/Packages  403  Forbidden
[08:24] <jnhghy>  on apt-get update?
[08:25] <ilhami> hey
[08:25] <ilhami> I cant login
[08:25] <ilhami> I cant get past login screen!!!!
[08:25] <DJones> Tazmain: You can, although the system will warn you against doing it because you may lose connection due to some updates causing a disconnect
[08:25] <ilhami> what do I do?
[08:26] <DJones> Tazmain: If the machine isn't local to you, if you do get disconnected, potentially you could find yourself unable to regain access to the machine being updated
[08:26] <somsip> jnhghy: It's Packages.bz2 or Packages.gz http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/
[08:26] <somsip> jnhghy: oh..on apt-get update. Didn't see that
[08:31] <Tazmain> DJones, well there is a rescue console they provide. Would you recommned upgrading to 13.10 ?
[08:32] <DJones> Tazmain: Are you on 13.04? If so yes, 13.04 is end of life anyway so you won't be getting security/bug fix updates
[08:32] <Oorp> Ubuntu can't execute .c files in an NTFS partition??
[08:32] <Tazmain> DJones, yea on 13.04 , minimal install
[08:33] <DJones> Tazmain: In that case I'd update to make sure you've got security updates
[08:36] <karthick> hi
[08:36] <Tazmain> DJones, I still don't why they would install ubuntu-raring-minial on a server but oh well.
[08:36] <Guest13224> ji
[08:37] <Guest13224> hello
[08:37] <DJones> Tazmain: Yeah, you'd think they'd install the server release
[08:37] <Ben64> how can you tell the difference between server and minimal
[08:38] <Guest13224> is there any way to install skype in ubuntu
[08:38] <Tazmain> DJones, yup whats worse, is that I have vncserver install but I cant get xorg up
[08:38] <DJones> !skype | Guest13224
[08:38] <Guest13224> thanks
[08:38] <Oorp> Guest13224: You v=can go to Skype's website and download the deb files...
[08:38] <Ben64> Tazmain: a server doesn't really need xorg or graphics or anything, ssh is good
[08:39] <Oorp> Guest13224: Follow ubottu's instructions!!
[08:39] <makara> are there any good blogs or pundits who talk about the line between Windows and Unix systems?
[08:39] <makara> it seems that usually someone is on one side or the other
[08:39] <Guest13224> try geekstuff.com
[08:39] <Tazmain> Ben64, yes true, but windows ppl here they need a GUI.
[08:40] <makara> Guest13224, site is down for maintenance :(
[08:40] <Ben64> Tazmain: gui to open up config files? its pointless and less secure
[08:41] <Tazmain> Ben64, no to setup backup options and configure other services
[08:41] <Ben64> which is all text, so why does it need to be sent as an image
[08:41] <Tazmain> Ben64, don't ask me , i did not argue at this point
[08:42] <Tazmain> But using snyaptic is quicker than searchig the cache for a package
[08:42] <Ben64> if you want windows server, get windows server. if you want linux server, use it properly. vnc is not secure.
[08:42] <bddy> Hello. How do I update from Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10 ? It proposes 14.04 which is still alpha, but I want 13.10
[08:42] <bddy> (it = update-manager -d)
[08:42]  * QuinnStorm honestly thinks that having guis is good but that not having a good quickstart guide to the unix basics is a big problem for people switching to linux, its important to understand *why* this system is what it is
[08:42] <Tazmain> Ben64, wel wont use vnc, will use remmina.
[08:43] <Ben64> remmina is a vnc client (among other things)
[08:44] <Ben64> bddy: 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10, but 13.04 is EOL and 12.10 will be soon, 13.10 EOL is in only 4 months, you should really just wait for 14.04
[08:44] <Tazmain> Ben64, well currently its on a need to use start only
[08:45] <bddy> Ben64: So, there is no way to upgrade to anything newer than 12.04 but not 14.04?
[08:45] <Ben64> bddy: what do you have against 14.04? its the next LTS version
[08:45] <bddy> Ben64: The upgrade window says that this is still alpha
[08:45] <Tazmain> well can't you upgrade to 13.10 and then 14.04 ?
[08:46] <Ben64> bddy: well yeah, but if you wait a month it will be released
[08:46] <bddy> Ben64: But I need to upgrade immediately, that's the problem :(
[08:46] <Ben64> why need?
[08:46] <bddy> Because there is no awesome 3.5.2 for 12.04
[08:47] <bddy> And I can't work outside anything except awesome
[08:48] <Ben64> sounds more like "want" than need. and 3.5.2 isn't on 13.10 either
[08:48] <bddy> Tazmain: Hey, you said "can't you upgrade to 13.10", I wish, I could, is this possible with update-manager or maybe there is another command?
[08:49] <bddy> Ben64: Well, there are ppa-s for 13.10
[08:49] <Tazmain> Ben64, do you know how to start lightdm manually for a second xserver , in the case of vnc ?
[08:50] <oppous> err, is there a way to change root password without knowing it?  i know i can add few lines while booting and then change, but when i press shift while booting, my computer goes in a bootloop
[08:50] <Ben64> Tazmain: i doubt that is what you want to do. vnc servers can start their own x screens
[08:50] <Ben64> !root | oppous
[08:51] <Tazmain> Ben64, yeah I know but I keep getting failed to start session "gnome" and Ihave xbuntu installed
[08:51] <oppous> Ben64: my user is not in sudoers
[08:51] <oppous> Ben64: ^
[08:51] <Ben64> oppous: well what are you actually trying to accomplish
[08:52] <Ben64> Tazmain: just start the vnc server
[08:52] <oppous> root password on my machine was changed, i dont know what it is now
[08:52] <Tazmain> Ben64, does not work, I log into it and get that error
[08:52] <Ben64> Tazmain: i'd also suggest having it listen on <IP_ADDRESS> only, and use a ssh tunnel to connect
[08:52] <Ben64> Tazmain: you're going to need to give a lot more details than that
[08:53] <Ben64> oppous: you shouldn't have had a root password. again, what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:53] <oppous> i change my passowrds on a weekly basis, just as a failsafe i have a file which i gpg. i lost that gpg file. so..
[08:53] <oppous> Ben64: ^
[08:53] <Tazmain> Ben64, like I said I start vncserver log into it, and all I see if could not start session " gnome"
[08:54] <Ben64> Tazmain: ok, you're still not giving enough info. "start vncserver log into it" <--- explain that much better
[08:55] <bddy> Is it possible to install a package from PPA that is for another version?
[08:55] <oppous> Ben64: i removed my current user from sudoers because im not the only one who uses this computer. this is a family computer basicallty.
[08:56] <Ben64> oppous: ok... and so what are you trying to accomplish? and what version of ubuntu? and you know, thats why you can create multiple accounts. one for you with sudo, one for family without
[08:56] <Tazmain> Ben64, in the log the only error i see is xrdb: can't open file '/root/.Xresources'
[08:56] <Ben64> Tazmain: don't run vnc as root...
[08:57] <Tazmain> Ben64, there is no other user currently lol
[08:58] <oppous> Ben64: need to get root access. need rood priviliges to execute tasks. i know. i usually login into root and finish my work. other account is for familty
[08:58] <oppous> Ben64: need to install new packages basically
[08:59] <Ben64> oppous: thats not really a good idea. you shouldn't be logging in to root at all. anyway, you can reset it from the recovery mode

[08:59] <ale9392> Other people I know that use the site arent getting it
[08:59] <ale9392> but i am, so could it be that I have misconfigured something?
[09:00] <oppous> Ben64: i  know that. lol but when i press shift while booting i go into a bootloop. then i have to shutdown the machine and restart after 5mins or something and then i can boot normally
[09:00] <Ben64> oppous: thats not normal at all. if you can't get to grub then i don't know what to suggest for you

[09:07] <Sireorion> Hi... Im a swedish dude.... I have som probs with ubuntu
[09:08] <Sireorion> so dont be hard on my spelling or grammer
[09:09] <Sireorion> UEFI is an secure boot for WIN8. .. And its makes all s*it with the install
[09:09] <Sireorion> i need an dual boot with win 8 and ubuntu
[09:09]  * Sireorion throws an granade in the chat so everybody wakes up
[09:10] <Sireorion> i guess all of u are sleepin
[09:12] <Sireorion> hello????
[09:12] <bazhang> !uefi | Sireorion
[09:12] <DJones> Sireorion: Just be patient, if you don't get a response, I'd repeat the question in about 10-15 minutes
[09:13] <Sireorion> ok
[09:13] <Sireorion> bazhang: : i have been reading that..  I have been dl the ubuntu and maked an bootble usb..
[09:14] <Sireorion> but it cant even start the boot
[09:15] <closingin> ubottu: uefi is a type of bios.
[09:15] <closingin> Not a replacement.
[09:15] <Sireorion> but are the UEFI compatible with ubuntu?
[09:15] <closingin> Sireorion: This is not ubuntu based, it depends of grub
[09:16] <closingin> But as for know, yes it is supported, you just have to install grub efi packages
[09:16] <Sireorion> and does it find my windows startup post ?
[09:17] <closingin> Sireorion: You're friendly with grub ?
[09:17] <Sireorion> it have allways been installed automaticly when i have installed ubuntu in the past
[09:18] <DJones> Sireorion: I've only done one uefi install (and that has only been with the development release of Ubuntu), but that installed perfectly in dual boot with windows
[09:19] <Sireorion> DJones: how did u do it?
[09:20] <closingin> Sireorion: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB_EFI_Examples
[09:20] <DJones> Sireorion: I just created a live usb & booted up with it and installed from that, does the usb stick boot up at all?
[09:21] <Sireorion> no.. can it be that i have wrong version of ubuntu?
[09:22] <DJones> Sireorion: Have you installed ubuntu on this computer before, also, have you enabled usb boot in bios?
[09:23] <Sireorion> No not on this one... its a new laptop
[09:23] <Sireorion> Acer E1-571
[09:24] <DJones> Sireorion: Right, you'll need to make sure that the computer can boot from USB first, I'm not really familiar with uefi/bios but its probably a setting in the bios
[09:25] <Sireorion> DJones: ill start up my other laptop so i can talk to u at the same time
[09:28] <Sireorion> DJones: ill be back in 2 min

[11:34] <Sireorion_> cfhowlett: canijust update it or do i need to do a new installation?
[11:35] <rommel> isnt ubuntu looking at going to a rolling release
[11:35] <cfhowlett> Sireorion_, direct upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 if you set upgrade to "LTS only"
[11:35] <DJones> rommel: It was considered, but not planned at the moment
[11:36] <Sireorion_> cfhowlett: how doi do that?
[11:36] <rommel> Sireorion_, it will ask you on the installation media
[11:37] <rommel> DJones, whats the length of support on 14.04 3 or 5 yrs
[11:37] <cfhowlett> Sireorion_, system>update manager>software sources>updates>Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: for long-term support versions
[11:37] <tracyone> 5
[11:37] <DJones> rommel: 14.04 is LTS so will be 5 years
[11:37] <rommel> nice
[11:37] <Sireorion_> cfhowlett: tnxm8
[11:38] <cfhowlett> Sireorion_, enjoy.
[11:38] <rommel> so what does that mean then for mir ... is it out of the picture for at least 5 yrs
[11:39] <DJones> rommel: It'll probably just arrive in one of the interim releases, maybe 14.10 or 15.04
[11:40] <cfhowlett> !mir
[11:40] <cfhowlett> well that factoid needs to be updated - no mir in 14.04.
[11:41] <kongthap> hi is it possible to start another instance of apache2 using -f ?, so apache will load a custom config file
[11:42] <rommel> yeah i think 14.04 isnt seeing that or shell 8

[12:18] <tracyone> add your library'path to  LD_LIBRARY_PATH  variable
[12:19] <rypervenche> Tazmain: Nope, only what you manually run from the terminal. You'll want something like VNC to see the entire desktop.
[12:21] <Tazmain> rypervenche, I have vncserver installed, but when I connect to it , its blank -.-
[12:21] <IamTrying> Why am i getting this? error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[12:22] <rypervenche> Tazmain: Give Remmina a shot for the client.
[12:22] <Tazmain> rypervenche, I would, but I can't find how to start nd install it via cli only
[12:23] <rypervenche> Tazmain: You don't need to do it from the command line.
[12:23] <rypervenche> Tazmain: There is no SSH involved here, unless you need to securely tunnel the VNC traffic over SSH
[12:23] <Tazmain> rypervenche, well I have a remote desktop to this server with a really slow client, jviewer, its terrbile, but I can ssh into it.

[12:35] <OerHeks> anon1, you can order your router to give your pc ( macadress) an IP, or program a hard IP in your networkmanager
[12:36] <anon1> rypervenche: why you care?

[12:36] <anon1> OerHeks: -_-
[12:36] <anon1> thats not ur bussiness...
[12:36] <OerHeks> anon1, but your 'outside/public IP´ will be the same
[12:36] <rypervenche> anon1: Because it will change my answer depending on your response. Good luck getting an answer from me now.
[12:37] <anon1> rypervenche: its all about my PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURITY...
[12:37] <rypervenche> OerHeks: I think he meant WAN IP.

[12:43] <sirius_> olaaç
[12:43] <romeo> bonjour
[12:45] <digitalvaldosta> has anyone experienced my issue? Peer devices on network dont show styling. Only showing text and images as if I didn't apply styling. I am designing a wordpress theme on my server. It does display correctly on localhost/ and http://ipaddress
[12:46] <digitalvaldosta> I am "obviously" running a LAMP stack
[12:49] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, external css file?
[12:50] <digitalvaldosta> #mows yes not inline styling
[12:50] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, ah, wordpress. should be a file permission problem.
[12:50] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, devices except localhost can not access the css file
[12:50] <digitalvaldosta> mows0 I have tried giving that a try. Gave 755, 644, 777 and no luck
[12:51] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, check .htaccess files
[12:51] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, try to open the css file directly from a browser _not_ on localhost. If it fails, it could possibly be a .htaccess issue
[12:52] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, I don't know much about wordpress though
[12:53] <digitalvaldosta> mows0, I don't think that wordpress is the issue. I have the phpinfo test page setup to test from other machines and same thing.
[12:54] <digitalvaldosta> mows0 did you mean the permissions on htaccess?
[12:54] <digitalvaldosta> because i have tried that as well
[12:54] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, that means phpinfo() is also not "styled" on any devices except localhost?
[12:54] <digitalvaldosta> mows0 correct
[12:54] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, ok that's weird
[12:56] <digitalvaldosta> mows0 when i attempt to view the webpage on other devices I type http://<IP_ADDRESS>/AMFM (IP of server/directoryofSITE)
[12:56] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, any error messages in apache log?
[12:57] <zetheroo1> j
[13:00] <emr> Hello i can't able to sync date, port is blocking somehow, ufw disabled, iptables resetted
[13:01] <digitalvaldosta> sorry mows0. I remembered incorrectly. Just tried my phpinfo() index.php again and it does display correctly. I will try checking the htaccess permissions again.
[13:03] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, no prob. also check admin -> options -> URI settings in your wordpress installation. If it's set to "localhost", you know what's wrong ;)
[13:03] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-not-loading-on-remote-web-client
[13:04] <digitalvaldosta> mows0, ok I will. Thanks
[13:05] <Slart> emr: how did you try to sync your date?
[13:06] <tagesge> sorry
[13:07] <emr> Slart, yes, re-installing
[13:07] <emr> thanks
[13:08] <digitalvaldosta> mows0, ok got a (probably n00b. lol) question. Where is admin -> options? it this in phpmyadmin or under system settings?
[13:08] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, it's in your wordpress settings
[13:09] <digitalvaldosta> mows0 yeah just noticed that when I looked at the link you gave. lol
[13:10] <mows0> digitalvaldosta, I never really used it so I don't know how the admin panel looks like
[13:10] <digitalvaldosta> mows0, guess I'll attempt to setup virtualhost so that I don't have to insert an ip in the admin. (this will be second time attempting virtualhost)
[13:16] <daum> hey guys i'm trying to do an update but it fails because it tries to remove brscan first, however removing brscan fails due to missing folders.  Any suggestions on how to remove brscan from the system?

[13:32] <troulouliou_dev> hi i have set my user to ww-data group and i ve set write permission for group on /var/www however i can't save a file with my user under this folder ?
[13:32] <cfhowlett> bumbar, which terminal?
[13:33] <bumbar> cfhowlett, default one? one that comes with 13.10, i'm not sure how to answer that
[13:33] <mows0> troulouliou_dev, is your user member of the group www-data? is /var/www writable by the group www-data?
[13:34] <mows0> troulouliou_dev, ah nevermind...
[13:34] <cfhowlett> bumbar, for instance, xubuntu has xfce terminal - anyway, there should be a reset settings option in your preferences.
[13:34] <troulouliou_dev> mows0, yes i set it up
[13:34] <LucidGuy> Regarding nscd, does anyone recommend it? or recommend not to use it?
[13:35] <dwarder> is there a way to easy install latest stable LAMP with 13.10 ubuntu?

[13:37] <cfhowlett> dwarder, "for help with setting up LAMP ..." answers your question.
[13:37] <dwarder> cfhowlett: have you read my question?
[13:37] <mows0> troulouliou_dev, did you log out and log back in with your user?
[13:38] <ice9> how to know th maximum supported resolution?
[13:38] <troulouliou_dev> mows0, ha no but i momently changed the /var/ww group to my group :)

[13:39] <usr13> troulouliou_dev: I have a different way of doint it that solves this problem and to me it is simplier.
[13:39] <Kamil__> hello
[13:39] <mows0> troulouliou_dev, a common error ist to use "chmod g+rw /var/www/*" instead of "chmod g+rw /var/www"
[13:39] <troulouliou_dev> usr13, how ?
[13:40] <grousey> dwarder: can't you install lamp using sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
[13:40] <troulouliou_dev> mows0, yes did that i think the error is specific to my editor (gedit)
[13:40] <dwarder> grousey: realy can't i?
[13:40] <usr13> troulouliou_dev: Just place the files in /home/user-name-here/public_html and symlink them  i.e.  ln -s /home/uer/public_html /var/www/site1
[13:41] <troulouliou_dev> usr13, ha yeah good hint :)
[13:41] <grousey> dwarder: ?
[13:41] <Kamil__> I have ubuntu 13.10 in text mode, after logging in, i write these commands: startx and unity; now i am on my desktop, but only with unity panel on left. where is time, language, network-manager in right top corner? what is right command from text mode to full unity desktop?
[13:42] <usr13> troulouliou_dev: (apache follows symlinks by default)
[13:42] <usr13> troulouliou_dev: And you can have all the sites in one /home/dir or you can have separate users for them.
[13:43] <troulouliou_dev> usr13, yep got it thanks will do that far easier indead
[13:43] <usr13> troulouliou_dev: To me, it's just a more orderly way to do it, you're keeping everything that is accessed by users in /home/users
[13:43] <Kamil__> ^^ trying sudo service lightdm start
[13:43] <ljsoftnet> how do i hide grube "Welcome to Grub" message?
[13:43] <ljsoftnet> how do i hide grub "Welcome to Grub" message?
[13:46] <dwarder> are there repos with the latest stable LAMP for ubuntu 13.10
[13:46] <usr13> Kamil__: startx doesn't work for you?
[13:47] <Kamil__> usr13, startx bring me to blank desktop only with wallpaper, without unity and panels
[13:48] <usr13> Kamil__: Does sudo service lightdm start  work?
[13:48] <Kamil__> yeah, but i must type password in text mode, after that for sudo and after that to log in again :/
[13:49] <usr13> Kamil__: Is this a laptop?
[13:49] <cfhowlett> dwarder, might want to ask the server channel
[13:49] <Kamil__> usr13, yes, old acer travelmate 2410, celeron M, 512mb ram
[13:50] <usr13> Kamil__: I'm not sure why startx does not work.  (I'm an xfce user and I think that startxfce does the job.... trying to remember...)
[13:50] <dwarder> cfhowlett: ty
[13:50] <zetheroo1> suddenly this is one of the only IRC channels I can write in ... . other channels say "Cannot send to channel" ... why is this?
[13:50] <cfhowlett> Kamil__, you'll probably find the lubuntu or xubuntu run much better.  you are at the absolute minimum recommended specs
[13:50] <xtbman> zetheroo1 you need to register your nickname
[13:51] <usr13> Kamil__: What is the equivilant for startxfce4 for unity?  #I think that is the question we need to answer.
[13:51] <Kamil__> usr13, startx then unity, or unity-2d-shell i think
[13:52] <usr13> Kamil__: As cfhowlett suggests, you might consider lubuntu or xubuntu. I use xfce.
[13:52] <zetheroo1> xtbman: I have registered my username ... it's zetheroo ... but now it's appearing as zetheroo1
[13:52] <usr13> Kamil__: startx ; unity ?
[13:52] <zetheroo1> xtbman: is this because I am logged in at home too?
[13:53] <usr13> Kamil__: If it's two commands that does the job for you, you could create a simple script to execute the two commands and name it gui ...?
[13:53] <xtbman> zetheroo1 yeah you need to be using zetheroo signed in. Zetheroo1 isn't registered.
[13:53] <_2_cowgirl1694> speem english
[13:53] <Kamil__> usr13, need third command for top panel
[13:53] <usr13> Kamil__: So make it three.
[13:54] <ptman> hi! how come http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/nodejs lists libc-ares2 (>= 1.8.0) and the debian/control file in the source lists libc-ares-dev (>= 1.7.5) as a dependency?
[13:54] <Kamil__> dont know command for top pannel
[13:54] <zetheroo1>  xtbman: but I am currently using zetheroo as my username to login
[13:54] <Kamil__> cfhowlett, thanks, will think about it
[13:54] <usr13> Kamil__: What?
[13:54] <usr13> Kamil__: What top pannel?
[13:54] <Kamil__> usr13, http://wiki.ubuntu.cz/_media/unity/unity.png?w=550&tok=b44af6
[13:54] <Kamil__> top pannel with time in right top corner
[13:55] <usr13> Kamil__: I see.... well we need to find the command to start that top pannel.
[13:56] <usr13> Kamil__: Let me experiment with another ubuntu system here for a minute....
[13:57] <Kamil__> usr13, sudo service lightdm start gives me everything i need, bad think is that i must log in again, but i can live with it
[13:57] <IceD^> hey
[13:58] <IceD^> I'm trying to get minimal ubuntu desktop (w/o all this libreoffices and other useless crap), got minimal cd, installed base system, installed ubuntu-desktop w/o recommends and it's almost ok
[13:58] <usr13> Kamil__: Yea, I see the top pannel on mine now... let's fish around a bit.
[13:59] <IceD^> what I miss - is "start menu" (whatever it's called) can't look for my apps (installed ones) and I don't have any SNA apps (for logout/lock/network manangement) - any idea what should I install to get this working
[14:00] <zth> 14.04 will be LTS, right...?
[14:01] <k1l_> zth: yes
[14:01] <zth> k1l_, yay! thanks
[14:04] <dede> hi
[14:04] <mturley> Hey does anyone know how to tell if upgrading your Ubuntu Server version will break anything?  Like maybe a command to look at what packages will be changed/replaced and grep that for some version-sensitive packages I'm using?
[14:04] <dede> does anyone see a new menu on firefox 28 with unity ?
[14:05] <dede> like this one http://minus.com/i/brsaZiFVJE45f
[14:05] <ice9> my xrandr output is https://gist.github.com/anonymous/58af31450958c53e6edf  so can I add higher resolution to the laptop screen?
[14:06] <mturley> dede, That "Firefox" menu on the left?
[14:06] <usr13> Kamil__: testing...
[14:06] <fidel_> mturley: this question is pretty general - so i doubt you'll get an answer which really helps further
[14:06] <dede> yes mturley
[14:06] <dede> this menu wasn't there in ff 27
[14:07] <mturley> They added that for windows and Mac to replace the menu bar, I thought it wasn't necessary in unity because you have that unified menu bar.  I guess they decided to add it anyway
[14:07] <mturley> fidel_: ok thanks
[14:07] <fidel_> consider creating a backup - try upgrading and see what is broken. or wait for others users to answer - but then you should at least mention the versions you are coming-from and going-to
[14:07] <dede> seem strange
[14:07] <dede> cause it makes two menus
[14:07] <Kamil__> usr13, thank you, i am configuring wifi now
[14:07] <usr13> Kamil__: On my system, startx loads up unity, (top pannel and all).
[14:07] <mturley> dede: I think you can turn it off in settings
[14:08] <dede> maybe from about:config page
[14:08] <dede> maybe it's a problem with firefox-globalmenu package
[14:08] <usr13> Kamil__: Not sure why it doesn't work for you, but there must be some sort of brokenness on your system that is causing it not to load.
[14:08] <usr13> Kamil__: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  ???
[14:09] <mturley> fidel_: thanks, I was just wondering if there was a general command to look at a preview of the upgrade changes.  I'll do a backup.
[14:09] <usr13> Kamil__: Only other change I would make is to create a symlink for startx:
[14:09] <Kamil__> usr13, i am not connected on internet
[14:10] <Kamil__> usr13, its fresh install without updates
[14:10] <naomi> attempting to connect with you on Skype
[14:10] <usr13> Kamil__: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/gui
[14:11] <usr13> Kamil__: Or something that effec, (just to save a couple key-stokes).
[14:11] <Kamil__> usr13, thank you
[14:11] <Kamil__> will try few things on it
[14:11] <usr13> Kamil__: It works for me, don't know why it wouldn't work for you.
[14:12] <ice9> how do I test my graphics  card?
[14:12] <bodie_> anyone know what version of golang is packaged with 12.04?
[14:12] <cfhowlett> bodie_, 2:1-5 -
[14:13] <usr13> Kamil__: (Having a Linux box not connected to the internet is like putting your Masarati up on blocks and locking it away in the garage ;)
[14:14] <grek> hi please help - canot connect to own host http://superuser.com/questions/730920/local-network-ping-local-ip-fail
[14:14] <bfig> hello, how can I script termination of a script unless it is ran with administrator privileges?
[14:14] <usr13> ice9: There is a screensaver that shows frame rate info ... trying to remember which one it is. (There is an option for it...)
[14:15] <cfhowlett> usr13, many screensavers have that option.
[14:15] <Kamil__> usr13, i am on 802.1x wifi network, must install root and pfx12 certificates to connect to the internet
[14:16] <Obsdark> hey oh, i'm trying to install ubuntu server 12.04 on my notebook from a usb stick and i'm having problems to download the installer components, any help?
[14:16] <Obsdark> thanks in advance
[14:16] <cfhowlett> Obsdark, try 12.04 mini.iso
[14:18] <ice9> in the system monitor the network traffic graph doesn't work
[14:18] <Obsdark> really? and where i can get it?
[14:18] <IceD^> so - any idea what packages is responsible for SNA in unity
[14:18] <cfhowlett> !mini|Obsdark,

[14:19] <Obsdark> is affect than i'll be using a Static ip network?
[14:19] <Obsdark> i'm going t o try it right now, thanks
[14:19] <grek> i canot ping own host
[14:20] <usr13> ice9: I think you need to install xscreensaver-gl-extra
[14:21] <usr13> ice9: (or at least I am now...)
[14:22] <usr13> ice9: ONce you install xscreensaver-gl-extra, you'll have blocktube and it will show frame rate info
[14:23] <usr13> ice9: But you have to enable it in settings.
[14:25] <usr13> ice9: I know that one works, but as cfhowlett points out, there are probably others...
[14:25] <dede> thx usr13 ++
[14:26] <ice9> usr13: thanks
[14:26] <usr13> NP
[14:26] <ice9> how can I know the webcam kernel module name?

[14:31] <mickskitz> hi all, im just looking for some help with installing ubuntu to dual boot with windows 8.1 and have had a couple issues
[14:31] <Deepu143> any idea i am not able to send mail from user mode
[14:32] <ice9> usr13: I installed xscreensaver but how do I launch it, I can't see it in the settings
[14:33] <mickskitz> btw the version i am trying to install is ubuntu 13.10
[14:34] <ptuladhar> @Deepu143 are you using 'sendmail' utils.
[14:34] <usr13> ice9: Install xscreensaver-gl-extra
[14:34] <ice9> usr13: yes I did
[14:34] <Deepu143> can any one help me
[14:34] <Deepu143> please
[14:34] <ross_> hello?
[14:34] <Deepu143> i am not able to send mails from linux box
[14:35] <ross_> Is anyone else having issues booting after the most recent update?
[14:35] <ptuladhar> Deepu143, can you check the /var/log/mail.log
[14:35] <cfhowlett> !anyone|Deepu143,
[14:35] <usr13> ice9: Are you using unity?
[14:35] <ice9> usr13: yes
[14:36] <usr13> ice9: Do you have the "Windows Key" on your keyboard?
[14:36] <ross_> I have never used unity before
[14:36] <ross_> I have seen something about it in the sidebar
[14:36] <cfhowlett> !ask|ross
[14:36] <usr13> (I don't know what other name to call the "Windows Key".  Does it have a generic name?
[14:36] <ross_> but I use ubuntu primarily to code on.
[14:37] <Deepu143> sorry ubottu
[14:37] <Obsdark> So, i'm a pretty noob linux user, but i have a CentOS running fine, i was wondering what kind of compresion format i must use for ubuntu server instalation?
[14:37] <reisio> Obsdark: hrmm?
[14:38] <ice9> usr13: yes
[14:38] <cfhowlett> Obsdark, #ubuntu=server is the channel for you.   ext4 is the default
[14:38] <reisio> ross_: what's your issue?
[14:38] <Obsdark> thanks a lot
[14:38] <reisio> ext4 isn't really a compression format...
[14:38] <reisio> it's an FS
[14:38] <Obsdark> fair enough, thanks a lot
[14:38] <cfhowlett> reisio, help him out.  I clearly didn't understand
[14:38] <Deepu143> and ptuladhar here is my mail log "Mar 19 19:55:48 KYK postfix/smtp[23445]: 26B518362F<EMAIL_ADDRESS>relay=mail.kya.com[<IP_ADDRESS>]:25, delay=0.84, delays=0.01/0/0.61/0.23, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 8A29620165B)
[14:38] <ross_> (As per ubottu's instructions ) Is anyone else having an issue updating after the most resent update? My ubuntu  won't even boot anymore. I did notice that there could be an issue with the legacy version of grub, but I am using the most recent version. I have tried reinstalling it numerous times. Considering that was ubuntu 12.04, do you think trying 13.10 will see different results?
[14:38] <usr13> ice9: If you do not have the "Windows Key", just click the icon a the top of the line on the right, and type in screensaver, (by the time you get to screen... you'll see the screensaver config menu.  Ok if you hit the "Windows Key" it will bring up the search, just start typing  screen.... and then hit Enter when it comes up.
[14:38] <reisio> cfhowlett: :D
[14:39] <usr13> ice9: *left* not right..
[14:39] <reisio> ross_: how far does it get, what's the last thing you see?
[14:39] <ptuladhar> Deepu143, looks like your mail are being delivered fine.
[14:39] <ross_> I see a long screen of white text.
[14:39] <ptuladhar> Deepu143, what's the issue?
[14:39] <reisio> ross_: and then?
[14:39] <ross_> And that's it. It just hangs there
[14:39] <Deepu143> log shows delivered but i dint see the mail in inbox
[14:40] <ross_> If I do not choose ubuntu from the grub menu, I get the famed "Grub rescue>" prompt.
[14:40] <ptuladhar> Deepu143, check if its in spam folder?
[14:40] <reisio> ross_: okay, when it hangs, it probably has some informative text
[14:40] <ross_> Choosing windows works fine though.
[14:40] <reisio> ross_: you should read it :) maybe even write it down
[14:40] <reisio> ross_: then tell us what it is
[14:40] <usr13> ice9: I'm wrong, you will have to type as far as screensa ..... before it will come up, (because of screenshot).
[14:40] <reisio> text is usually informative :)
[14:41] <ice9> usr13: found it thanks :)
[14:41] <ross_> Problem is, it's a lot of text. Much too much to write down. I have read that the recent kernel update could be the problem
[14:41] <freenick> hellow
[14:41] <ross_> IDK. I guess I'll try 13.10 and see if that works. Thanks guys.
[14:41] <Deepu143> no ptuladhar
[14:41] <Deepu143> not even received in spam box
[14:41] <cfhowlett> !paste|ross_, paste it up
[14:41] <Deepu143> and i have een / is 91 percentage usage
[14:42] <Deepu143> seen*
[14:42] <reisio> ross_: usually only the last bit is enough
[14:42] <ptuladhar> Deepu143, check the smtp port: netstat -npltu | grep 25
[14:42] <ross_> cf, I can't copy it since it is in the boot sequence.
[14:42] <reisio> ross_: it _probably_ says something like 'kernel panic', and the most relevant lines will be immediately before or after
[14:42] <reisio> ross_: you will only need a specific few keywords for a pretty decent diagnosis
[14:43] <usr13> ice9: http://imagebin.org/300325
[14:43] <Deepu143> ya looks like port is open
[14:43] <Deepu143> tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:25                <IP_ADDRESS>:*                   LISTEN      13572/master
[14:43] <ross_> Okay. I'll try it again, worst case scenario i'll try to do the grub repair again and grab the link that gives me to be able to share. Thanks for the help reisio!
[14:45] <usr13> ice9: http://imagebin.org/300326
[14:46] <reisio> ross_: most likely it is indeed something to do basically solely with the kernel GRUB is being told to load
[14:47] <reisio> ross_: but some paraphrasing, even, of the actual error messages would be useful :)
[14:47] <ptuladhar> Deepu143, did you made any changes to postfix configuration?
[14:48] <usr13> ice9: http://imagebin.org/300327
[14:48] <Deepu143> no
[14:49] <groggster> Hi! I am thinking about applying for a job as a sysadm at Canonical... I am looking for another sysadm working there to explain a few things to me before I do so. Is there anyone here?
[14:49] <freenick> .
[14:50] <k1l_> groggster: there is a channel for canonical server admins. but i forgot the name. try alis to find it
[14:50] <k1l_> !alis | groggster
[14:50] <ice9> usr13: which graphics card and processor you have?
[14:51] <groggster> Okay, thanks!
[14:52] <usr13> ice9: Intel 82Q35 graphics card, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E6550  @ 2.33GHz
[14:55] <sydney> If I upgrade to Lubuntu 13.10 from ubuntu 12.04,will it keep both graphical interfaces; also will it keep all my programs and files?
[14:56] <gugus> .
[14:56] <gugus> .
[14:57] <mickskitz> !patience
[14:57] <reisio> sydney: definitely the latter, if not the former that's easily fixed
[14:57] <reisio> sydney: you can always try LXDE from the live image, if you're unsure you'll like it
[14:58] <reisio> sydney: or install it without upgrading your whole system
[14:58] <Deepu143> hey its problem with mail server
[14:58] <Deepu143> thanks
[14:58] <freenick> .
[14:58] <reisio> freenick: very clever
[15:02] <sydney> What happens after a ubuntu version becomes unsupported?
[15:03] <mickskitz> im just looking for some help with installing ubuntu 13.10 (64bit) to dual boot with windows 8.1 and have had a couple issues
[15:03] <k1l_> sydney: no updates to packages. even no security ones
[15:03] <cfhowlett> !eol|sydney,
[15:03] <reisio> sydney: after that, it's not supported
[15:03] <bananapie> !deathrattle!sydney
[15:03] <cfhowlett> sydney, no more updates, no more security.
[15:04] <sydney> Ok,I get it. :)
[15:04] <bananapie> sydney, no more security because it is assumed there are flaws in the code that will go unpatched because it's not supported, but a hacker might still find those flaws.
[15:04] <reisio> realistically your security will be compromised long before that if you've spent so much time avoiding updating
[15:05] <reisio> "weee look at me, I never update"
[15:05] <reisio> "oh snap, not supported, guess I'll update in a rush now!"
[15:05] <reisio> "omg, broken!"
[15:05] <reisio> etc.
[15:05] <bananapie> reisio, good point.
[15:05] <reisio> bananapie: you're delicious
[15:07] <z3r0> :)
[15:07] <usr13> sydney: or... you could wait for 14.04
[15:08] <sydney> I was not sure what to do because lubuntu trusty will only be suported for 18 months.
[15:08] <bananapie> I'm waiting for 14.04. 14.04 is supported until 2019 if you are on server edition
[15:08] <reisio> sydney: only?
[15:08] <compdoc> Im waiting for 14.04 too
[15:08] <reisio> you should really be updating as soon as an update is available
[15:09] <reisio> it shouldn't ever take you more than a YEAR to update some software
[15:09] <reisio> that is just ridiculous :)
[15:09] <sydney> Well I don't like upgrading my os that often . ;)
[15:09] <reisio> why not?
[15:09] <bananapie> I haven't updated my Windows 95 in about 5 years :P
[15:09] <Guitarman_> moron
[15:10] <reisio> bananapie: you should try Windows ME, it's hawt
[15:10] <sydney> Beckause I get my stuff on It and get it set up a certian way; even though I do back it up.
[15:10] <edve> bananapie lol
[15:10] <bananapie> Really? I've been thinking about it, but I am waiting for 2000 to come out
[15:10] <cfhowlett_> !ot
[15:10] <bananapie> sydney, what version are you running ?
[15:10] <bananapie> sorry ubottu and cfhowlett
[15:10] <usr13> sydney: 12.04 EOL is  April 2017
[15:11] <cfhowlett_> sydney, strangely enough 14.04 will also be support until april 2017
[15:11] <reisio> sydney: and what, when you update it changes too much?
[15:11] <bananapie> 12.04 SERVER is supported until 2017
[15:11] <reisio> sydney: sounds like you should try choosing software whose developers are less random
[15:11] <bananapie> desktop only gets 3 years.
[15:11] <kostkon> bananapie, nope
[15:11] <kostkon> bananapie, 5y
[15:12] <bananapie> LTS server => 5 years, LTS Desktop => 3 years. At least that is what it used to be.
[15:12] <kostkon> bananapie, exactly, it used to be
[15:12] <kostkon> bananapie, not anymore
[15:12] <k1l_> bananapie: that the old way
[15:12] <bananapie> Source?
[15:12] <k1l_> bananapie: both 5 years now
[15:12] <k1l_> since 12.04
[15:12] <bananapie> [citation needed ]
[15:12] <k1l_> !lts | bananapie
[15:12] <cfhowlett_> k1l_, yeah, last I checked it'll be 3 years on 14.04
[15:13] <usr13> sydney: I was wrong, it's April 2015 for 12.04 Desktop
[15:13] <bananapie> ubottu agrees with me :)
[15:13] <sydney> ubuntu 12.04, with lxde ( I downloaded it fron the software center),and I do want to try 14.04,and do plan on installing lubuntu 14.04.
[15:13] <k1l_> cfhowlett_: no. they reduced the non-lts support to keep lts long
[15:13] <usr13> bananapie: Thanks for correction.
[15:15] <cfhowlett_> sydney, 14.04 will be the first lubuntu LTS version.  Should be sweet
[15:15] <usr13> Oh, I see I was right the first time..... (I thought I must have read the date wrong...)
[15:15] <cfhowlett_> !saucyh
[15:15] <usr13> Thanks k1l_ ... for the info
[15:15] <cfhowlett_> !sacyh
[15:15] <cfhowlett_> !saucy
[15:15] <sydney> Oh so I will be suported longer than 18 months?!
[15:15]  * cfhowlett_ fat finger errors
[15:15] <cfhowlett_> !lts
[15:16] <kostkon> sydney, even on lubuntu yes
[15:16] <cfhowlett_> sydney, there are no longer 18 month versions
[15:16] <kostkon> sydney, lubuntu 14.04 that is
[15:16] <usr13> 13.10's EOL is July 2014
[15:16] <sydney> I would like one that spans all the way between 2 lts versions.:)
[15:16] <usr13> sydney: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[15:16] <cfhowlett_> sydney, so just use LTS then ...
[15:16] <k1l_> sydney: user LTS.
[15:16] <k1l_> *use
[15:17] <usr13> sydney: Then use LTS
[15:17] <cfhowlett_> sydney, 12.04 now, upgrade to 14.04 next month
[15:17] <usr13> cfhowlett_: Or, wait a couple more years...
[15:17] <cfhowlett_> usr13, true.  12.04 has a long life span ...
[15:17] <ice9> how to use the intel wireless display feature?
[15:18] <usr13> "if it aint broke, don't fix it"
[15:18] <usr13> ice9: What?
[15:18] <sydney> I will,and that is a good saying. ;)
[15:18] <kostkon> usr13, wireless monitors
[15:18] <usr13> sydney: ... just my opinion ...
[15:19] <usr13> kostkon: Oh ok.  Well I don't know anyway so...
[15:19] <usr13> kostkon: Oh, does he mean like wireshark?
[15:19] <kostkon> usr13, ?
