[00:00] <Tobbi> Hey. How can I suggest/ request a package update for this? https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/supertux/
[00:00] <mojtaba> Jordan_U: I am running the command now. I will let you know the result.
[00:00] <robotti^>  /win 25
[00:01] <chemist^> mojtaba, yes it does
[00:01] <ki7rw> anyone know why the HP device manager can't see my wireless printer while cups sees it and i can wirelessly print to it?
[00:02] <Jordan_U> ki7rw: Why do you want to use HP device manager?
[00:02] <mojtaba> Jordan_U: It worked. Thanks
[00:02] <ki7rw> because it appears in the menu
[00:02] <mojtaba> chemist^: I will keep that in mind. may be later I will check that. Thank you for sharing.
[00:02] <Jordan_U> mojtaba: You're welcome. In the future, "concatinate" is probably a better word than "combine" for what you are trying to do.
[00:03] <mojtaba> Jordan_U: What does combine mean?
[00:08] <Jordan_U> mojtaba: It seems that at least one site uses combine to mean mix (take two tracks and make one track out of them, where you hear both tracks at the same time), and that's likely the site that confused you into thinking that "-m" was the option you wanted.
[00:09] <mojtaba> Jordan_U: I see. Thanks again
[00:11] <luckybunny> nice interesting problem for you guys...
[00:11] <luckybunny> I have terribly choppy sound in java applications
[00:11] <luckybunny> I presume something not quite lovely with my openAL, because pulse appears to be doing great at everything but java/openAL
[00:11] <Jordan_U> mojtaba: You're welcome.

[00:17] <foobar_> I installed ubuntu 12.04 on a new SSD -- created a 100GB partition for it, and left the remaining 150GB unallocated free space. Worked fine --- I then installed Windows 8.1 in the unallocated space. It worked fine as well.
[00:18] <foobar_> Problem: how do I get back into Ubuntu? Did the Win8.1 install override the Ubuntu boot loader or something? Win8.1 loads fine but I can't figure out how to switch back into Ubuntu
[00:18] <k1l_> foobar_: yes, reinstall grub
[00:18] <zaitzev> how would I go about running a command that is aliased, as default, in bash? for example I have rm='rm -i' but want to run it as the default
[00:19] <FatDarrel> hey how do i not boot from my 1st hdd
[00:19] <foobar_> k1l_: thought so. thanks
[00:19] <FatDarrel> i want to boot from the 2nd hdd
[00:19] <Magiobiwan> Was there an update to openssh-server in the past few days for Ubuntu 13.04?
[00:19] <glitsj16> luckybunny: have you seen/tested a routine like on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java#Java_sound_with_Pulseaudio yet ?
[00:20] <luckybunny> will try it now
[00:20] <glitsj16> luckybunny: if you haven't and want to test, make sure you use the correct paths for the java bin
[00:21] <Bashing-om> FatDarrel: Change the boot order priority in BIOS .
[00:22] <FatDarrel> no so i have it set to boot from drive 1 then drive 2 etch
[00:22] <FatDarrel> but if drive 1 does not have boot flag it should goto drive 2
[00:22] <k1l_> FatDarrel: boot flag is only for windows
[00:22] <Bashing-om> FatDarrel: set the boot order to boot drive 2 before that of drive 1 .
[00:22] <FatDarrel> oh ok
[00:23] <FatDarrel> ok
[00:23] <FatDarrel> then once drive 2 is destroyed it should boot from drive 1
[00:24] <Bashing-om> FatDarrel: If bios does not find a boot code on drive 2 then yes it will default to the next drive in the boot order .
[00:24] <FatDarrel> so i can dd crap into the first 512bytes of the drive?
[00:25] <Bashing-om> FatDarrel: That is the location of the boot sector, do so from another mounted medium.
[00:26] <FatDarrel> yeah ok got it thanks guys
[00:31] <rustuptwist> i think checking 'update installs' was a mistake
[00:32] <kriskropd> ive a machine i left running inside dwm (DE) earlier today, I was sshed into it all day just fine, but now that I'm back home, I noticed the attached displays have gone to sleep and the keyboard is unresponsive, however i can ssh into the machine just fine and see that the processes I had running on X are still operating correctly - I tried opening a new display $(xinit /usr/bin/dwm -- :5) which hung on 'Loading GLX' and neve
[00:33] <kriskropd> any thoughts?
[00:34] <kriskropd> should I just ship myself over to #xorg and save myself some time of waiting?
[00:35] <Gandi> how can i log a terminal window?
[00:36] <xananax> I am completely unable to make windows7 and ubuntu dual-boot on my machine.  Since description is long, I've pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6800343/ Help would be greatly appreciated
[00:36] <zaitzev> Gandi: Check if this applies to you, first hit on Google gave me: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120507163311559
[00:37] <Pici> Gandi: If you want to log all input and output you can use 'script'
[00:38] <Gandi> how do i stop script?
[00:38] <Merrrrs> hey guys
[00:38] <daftykins> xananax: can you confirm whether win7 is installed in legacy or UEFI mode?
[00:39] <xananax> daftykins, when I installed it, I was in legacy mode
[00:40] <xananax> daftykins, is there a way to check?
[00:40] <daftykins> xananax: yes, google it - there's a parameter that comes up in a config file inside the Windows folder
[00:40] <daftykins> xananax: but to install win7 in UEFI mode you would've had to juggle some files around to let it UEFI boot so you should really know
[00:40] <rustuptwist> Ok Finally got ubuntu onto my hp laptop Yea!!!
[00:40] <Merrrrs> rustuptwist, congrats, m8
[00:41] <rustuptwist> goo night, thanks for all your help and assistance.
[00:41] <Merrrrs> sorry about the HP though ;~;
[00:41] <Merrrrs> lol jk
[00:41] <xananax> daftykins, yeah, I don't think so, I just installed win7 without any special manipulations, but I'm going to check anyway to get that out of the way
[00:41] <Gandi> Pici how do I stop the script command and get the result?
[00:41] <daftykins> Merrrrs: this is not a chat channel, either ask for help / provide help but go to #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat.
[00:42] <Merrrrs> daftykins, Help me find a decent IRC chat channel
[00:42] <daftykins> no.
[00:42] <Pici> Gandi: ctrl-d
[00:42] <Merrrrs> daftykins, Well then dont highlight me, if you cant help
[00:42] <Merrrrs> Thanks brah

[00:43] <Merrrrs> Well ill leave before I get b&
[00:43] <daftykins> good
[00:43] <Magiobiwan> Merrrrs, #defocus
[00:43] <Magiobiwan> :_
[00:43] <Merrrrs> daftykins, dont get cocky, faggot
[00:43] <daftykins> i love that you think you're original
[00:45] <xananax> daftykins, I double-checked, win7 was installed in legacy mode
[00:45] <daftykins> good stuff
[00:45] <daftykins> well, that's me out of ideas :/
[00:45] <xananax> Hahahaha, well thanks
[00:46] <xananax> What should I be looking for? I don't even get a log when I try to boot windows from GRUB. Any idea what I could google?
[00:47] <Gandi> thx a lot Pici
[00:48] <daftykins> xananax: hmm nah i really can't think of anything that'd be useful. though my knowledge of dual-booting with modern Ubuntu versions is theoretical only.
[00:49] <xananax> daftykins, Ok np, thanks anyway
[00:50] <pi-> I'm ssh'ing onto a ubuntu Machine.  'sudo apt-get install gfortran' fails with: sudo: apt-get: command not found.  Can I install aptitude from the command line? It is kind of a catch 22 situation...

[00:51] <pi-> Pici, it is an Amazon cloud computing machine instance.  Yes, it is Ubuntu.
[00:52] <pi-> oh no!
[00:52] <pi-> ARGH
[00:52] <pi-> It is Amazon Linux!
[00:52] <Pici> the plot thickens
[00:53] <pi-> :-[ my bad, I will have to go back and pick an Ubuntu Machine

[01:09] <ZeloZelos> google?
[01:09] <piousbox_> What's people's opinions on Ubuntu mobile, for nexus smartphones?
[01:10] <piousbox_> It was a trending topic on Stack Overflow
[01:10] <Bsims> piousbox_: install comandline only server version add packages as needed
[01:11] <waynr> Bsims: unfortunately, all i have right now is a .iso i used to install a virtual machine image so i couldsupport some family with the same crappy operating system
[01:12] <a1fa> how do you force X reconfiguration
[01:12] <Bsims> waynr: apt-get remove package whatever
[01:12] <waynr> Bsims: yeah I've tried to disect it manually an install xfce4, but there are always problems that come up doing it like that
[01:12] <ZeloZelos> a1fa make a new user?
[01:13] <somsip> !touch | piousbox_
[01:13] <Bsims> waynr: shouldn't be... it won't let you remove anything with depends
[01:13] <waynr> for example there seems to be an x-terminal-manager installed that doesn't use the same Xresources as uxterm
[01:13] <piousbox_> a1fa, do you mean `sudo service gdm restart`
[01:13] <piousbox_> ?
[01:13] <a1fa> no
[01:13] <a1fa> i changed the graphics card from nvidia to onboard intel

[01:14] <andrej> what's the proper way of getting GPG keys for repos onto machines hiding on a private network that fetch their packages via apt-cacher-ng?  Been looking for 2 days w/o much success

[01:41] <jam3sm> whats difference between alternative and desktop?
[01:41] <fermulator> Good day; Today I tried to upgrade ubuntu-server 10.04.04 to 12.04 (LTS); it failed horribly (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1271784)
[01:42] <OerHeks> jam3sm, there is no alternative anymore, it is dropped, only mini iso is continued
[01:42] <fermulator> Now the server is in a bad state claiming "no free space", but there is 18% free space...
[01:42] <jam3sm> o.0 its under torrents still
[01:44] <jam3sm> is it better to get the 12.04.3 or the 13.10?
[01:44] <jam3sm> as i installed 13.10 desktop and i get laggs and freezes/lock ups on my system:/

[01:45] <piousbox_> fermulator, when you run `df . -hT` what is the output?
[01:46] <fermulator> Just updated the bug report
[01:46] <piousbox_> I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 as well, 'twas a bad decision I think. Everything is broken.
[01:46] <fermulator> I see; inodes maxed out?
[01:46] <Bashing-om> fermulator: could be !
[01:47] <fermulator> such a brutal experience.... why does the tool let this  happen :(

[01:48] <Bashing-om> fermulator:  dont recon the updater can take care of every thing, one should have got some warnings when doing routine updates.
[01:48] <profligacy> What's up everyone?
[01:49] <fermulator> My server was fullly clean prior to the install AFAIK. (conducted the proper backups, apt-get update/dist-upgrade, etc.)
[01:49] <profligacy> Where is the cheapest place to download Ubuntu?
[01:49] <piousbox_> what's up
[01:49] <fermulator> Followed ubuntu wiki documentation for pre-upgrade steps
[01:49] <piousbox_> cheapest is $0 my friend.
[01:49] <somsip> profligacy: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/
[01:50] <Bashing-om> fermulator: Maybe we can do a "ggod deed" and make a suggestion to add this check to the Wiki ? -- will keep that noted !
[01:52] <fermulator> Bashing-om: So, should I add directly to this page? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades), this note seems too technical for this high-level page
[01:53] <Bashing-om> fermulator: lemme look, back in a tic.
[01:53] <jhutchins> profligacy: Where is the most expensive place?
[01:53] <twenty-three> hi guys, i wish to know how to associate a file extension for it to be opened with a particular program. righ-click on the file and properties doesn't work as the program i want isn't listed there and it won't allow me to add programs to that list
[01:54] <profligacy> somsip:  thanks.
[01:54] <profligacy> jhutchins: My friend was offering me the CD for $50 =/
[01:54] <Bashing-om> fermulator: yepper, community documentation, if ya can log in you may edit.
[01:55] <jhutchins> profligacy: Well, unless you're in jail, tat's pretty stupid.  And if you're in Iran, you don't have $50.

[02:12] <fermulator> it's not clear to me how it "thinks" it's done the upgrade, it failed horribly, but there are no new "upgrade actions" needed (apt-get dist-upgrade is done too) -- see updates to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1271784

[02:23] <Bashing-om> fermulator: ok, we will get back to it when this is at an end.
[02:23] <fermulator> agreed
[02:23] <fermulator> (thx for help so far!@)
[02:24] <rww> ubottu: 10.04
[02:24] <rww> tl;dr: you're not getting security updates, upgrade Ubuntu
[02:24] <qin> new: /var/log/dpkg.log should have info where it was installed, do you remember when did you make install, was it last one done? ls -tl /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | head -20; may help too
[02:24] <Jordan_U> new: Ubuntu 10.04 is no longer supported for Desktops. You should upgrade. Now.
[02:24] <Bashing-om> fermulator: not at all a problem, got any idea how much and how many people have helped me for many years !
[02:25] <new> rww:  is there any value in 10.04.  i wanted to try it before i update
[02:25] <new> qin:  i just installed it
[02:25] <new> i saw a log finder...if i go there how do i look
[02:25] <Jordan_U> new: Then download and install 12.04 instead.
[02:26] <Bashing-om> new: Amen 12,04 !
[02:26] <new> Jordan_U:  so there is no value in 10.04.. i figured i would try it and see if i liked it before i updated
[02:27] <qin> new: it is kind starnge logic, i like this version so let me upgrade to new one...
[02:27] <Jordan_U> new: No, there is no good reason for you to use an unsupported insecure version of Ubuntu (10.04) instead of a supported version (like 12.04).
[02:28] <James_Epp> Installation question. I am using the ubuntu 12.04.2 alternate install method (Booting it over PxE). It does end up working, but here is the issue. After the important stuff such as locale and network setup, it quickly flashes "Downloading package lists", uses network for about 1-2 seconds, and then dies down with absolutely no activity for about 10-20 minutes before continuing on normally. I experience this both in a VM and on metal. Anyone know why th
[02:28] <James_Epp> some way I could optimize my network for what I am doing? I already have a squid cache, but the problem persists!
[02:28] <new> ok....  do i run this from the terminal.. i'm sorry, but i'm totally new to linux../var/log/dpkg.log
[02:29] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu?
[02:29] <Jordan_U> new: Don't do anything else until you're running a supported version of Ubuntu.
[02:29] <RahulAN> How do i start mysqt in ubuntu 13.10. getting error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[02:29] <new> jordan-U:  why is that... what does supported mean!
[02:30] <fermulator> Bashing-om: done!
[02:31] <fermulator> so do the headers now?
[02:31] <rww> new: supported == we will give help here, and it gets security updates
[02:31] <rww> new: not supported == we don't give help here, and it has security holes that you should be concerned about
[02:32] <fredouille> hello
[02:32] <new> rww:  ic.. well someone helped me put puppy in a flash drive when hard drive died  and installing there was confusing.. i like what i have here because it has an install button!
[02:32] <new> does 12.04 have an install button in the software center!
[02:32] <fermulator> Bashing-om: yeah i think if i had done the /headers/ first, then the images, it might've been faster
[02:33] <Jordan_U> new: Yes.
[02:33] <fredouille> i don't have settings tab in Gedit, please help me !
[02:33] <Bashing-om> fermulator: ok, Some clean up -> dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge <-
[02:34] <qin> !upstart | RahulAN
[02:34] <fermulator> Bashing-om: really? all that? purging all those?
[02:35] <qin> RahulAN: well, sudo service mysql start
[02:35] <fermulator> seems to be stuff i care about, like "lm-sensors, mysql, phpmyadmin, virtualbox, ....)
[02:35] <fredouille> i don't have settings tab in Gedit, please help me !
[02:35] <RahulAN> qin: mysql: unrecognized service
[02:35] <OerHeks> fredouille, it is on the top panel, not in the gedit-window itself
[02:36] <Bashing-om> fermulator: yeah .. I have run that many times for cleaning the system, it takes all packages that the package manager has marked as "rc" -> removed but config files remain.
[02:36] <qin> RahulAN: which mysql
[02:36] <fermulator> Bashing-om: understood (sucks; i guess the upgrade uninstalled stuff that I didn't want it to...)
[02:37] <RahulAN> qin: this is output of sudo service mysql start
[02:37] <RahulAN> qin: it is not recognizing
[02:37] <Bashing-om> fermulator:  I too have deep reservations, but we will get to that directly.
[02:37] <qin> RahulAN: it is command: which mysql;
[02:37] <RahulAN> qin: i also not found mysqld in /var/run
[02:38] <RahulAN> qin: /usr/bin/mysql
[02:38] <fermulator> Bashing-om: ok it's done; (purge complete)
[02:39] <Bashing-om> fermulator: OK, How far do you "feel" that the upgrade got to ?
[02:40] <fredouille> ok OerHeks
[02:40] <qin> RahulAN: can you try: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[02:41] <fermulator> Bashing-om: looking at the logs, it appears as though it started to fail at the processing linux-images kernels, but it /did/ continue with trying to setup a bunch of files, which partially succeeded; up until ...
[02:42] <fermulator> Bashing-om: updating the log to the bug report
[02:43] <fermulator> Bashing-om: ok it's the latest on there; so I "feel" like it got to the point of "configuring packages", and bailed during python config;
[02:43] <RahulAN> qin: sudo: /etc/init.d/mysql: command not found :/
[02:43] <fermulator> Bashing-om: since then, I cleared the inodes, (removed manually a few headers/images), then ran "sudo apt-get install -f", and it fixed up the 3.2 kernel.
[02:45] <qin> RahulAN: how it happend? reinstall?
[02:45] <Bashing-om> fermulator: let's also do" -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <-, if that goes well, we can do some more fixing and cleaning.
[02:46] <fermulator> Bashing-om; yeah that's all clean/done
[02:46] <fermulator> Calculating upgrade... Done
[02:46] <fermulator> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[02:47] <Bashing-om> fermulator: outstanding ! You look to be in great shpae WHEEWHH .
[02:47] <fermulator> can't believe it ;o
[02:48] <RahulAN> qin: how to reinstall it?
[02:48] <fermulator> Bashing-om: i suppose then, all that's left for me to do is recover the havoc the updater did to my system? (i.e. re-installing services, recovering backups, etc.)?
[02:49] <Bashing-om> fermulator: for checks: -> sudo apt-get -f install , sudo dpkg --configure -a <- if that too goes well, clean up and go home !
[02:49] <fermulator> Bashing-om: both those commands are clean
[02:49] <fermulator> Bashing-om: I suppose I should reboot, and cross my fingers that it will boot the new kernel? ;l
[02:50] <RahulAN> How to reinstall mysql
[02:51] <Bashing-om> fermulator:  cleanup -> sudo apt-get autoremove , sudo apt-get clean <-, then see what services and what not have to be (RE-)installed .
[02:52] <fermulator> Bashing-om: services fix BEFORE reboot?
[02:52] <somsip> RahulAN: tell us the full story. Did you have mysqld installed before, or did you just install it for the first time?
[02:53] <Bashing-om> fermulator: After the clean commnads, yeah, I would think now is a good time to know, reboot and see what happens ( fingers are crossed).
[02:53] <fermulator> Bashing-om : giving it  a go
[02:54] <RahulAN> somsip: i had installed ubuntu 13.10 and i tried to start mysql and got error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
[02:54] <RahulAN> somsip: i didnt installed myself..
[02:54] <Bashing-om> fermulator: Well, IF you know they are broken, sure that would be the thing to do, else see what the system screams and hollers about.
[02:54] <somsip> RahulAN: when did you install mysqld? Is this the first time you've installed it or was it installed before and sudenly stoppped working?
[02:55] <RahulAN> somsip: i didn't installed it
[02:56] <RahulAN> somsip: so i installed
[02:56] <RahulAN> somsip: so i install
[02:56] <somsip> RahulAN: so you just installed it and tried to run it for the first time? How did you install it?
[02:57] <RahulAN> somsip: no, i mean do i install?
[02:57] <somsip> RahulAN: what is your first language?
[02:57] <RahulAN> i tried apt-get  install mysqld but got E: Unable to locate package mysqld
[02:57] <DanaG> I'm using gnome shell on Ubuntu 13.10, and it refuses to log in.  I try to log in, and I get the login screen background, and a non-interactable crash notification dialog on the top left corner of the screen.
[02:57] <somsip> RahulAN: because it's mysql-server
[02:57] <RahulAN> somsip: sorry for the language
[02:58] <RahulAN> somsip: so what are the initial steps if i need mysql run over my laptop.
[02:58] <somsip> RahulAN: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[02:59] <RahulAN> somsip: yeahh :)  now its installing :)
[03:01] <Nepahollic> I'm having trouble getting the GUI to start.  I think it's a problem with the drivers.  IDK where to get better ones. Any suggestions?
[03:01] <Sik> SID playback was working fine in Audacious in 13.04 but it seems like the codec was removed in 13.10, does anybody know how to put back the codec?
[03:02] <cfhowlett> Sik, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will grab the usual codecs
[03:02] <cfhowlett> but I admit I've never heard of the SID codec ...
[03:02] <Sik> Fine, though AFAIK it shouldn't be restricted (SID is not an encumbered format)
[03:02] <Sik> cfhowlett: SID = Commodore 64 music
[03:03] <Sik> Also just checked, that package is installed already
[03:04] <Sik> ...and it turns out the standard media player can do infinite looping :| Nevermind, will just set that as the default program for SID files I guess
[03:05] <Sik> Uh oh the SID codec that comes with the media player seems unable to play PCM sounds. So here we go again: does anybody know how to restore Audacious' SID codec?
[03:06] <cfhowlett> Sik, try it with VLC player
[03:08] <Nepahollic> so no one has any idea where to get drivers for AMD A series laptop APUs?
[03:08] <fermulator> Bashing-om: wow, it came back ::: 12.04.04; (3.2.0-58-generic-pae)
[03:09] <Bashing-om> Nepahollic: Are you running proprietary drivers, and did an kernel update, and now the driver is broke ?
[03:10] <Nepahollic> no idea what I'm running, and this is a fresh install
[03:10] <Bashing-om> fermulator: OUTSTANDING ! .. ok, what about all the perifials ans seveices and such .. are ya up and running ?
[03:11] <fermulator> Bashing-om: not at all :( --- apache is uninstalled, samba gone, boinc not running;
[03:11] <fermulator> Bashing-om: looks like i've got a lot of work ahead of me
[03:11] <fermulator> Bashing-om: nothing you can help with now though :)
[03:12] <Nepahollic> cat /var/log/syslog | grep amd says something about being unable to load a file named amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin
[03:13] <Bashing-om> fermulator: YUK, well could be worse .. the base install seems soled now.
[03:13] <Bashing-om> fermulator: solid*
[03:14] <fermulator> Bashing-om: agreed; thanks so much for your help eh? -- for the bug report; shall i recommend in the bug reporyt that it checks for available disk space and inodes as precautionary?
[03:15] <Bashing-om> fermulator: I bet a many a one has been here, would not hurt at all to emphasize that point !
[03:16] <booh> I just do dist-upgrade and now the system asking to update grub...  But I have raid1 /dev/md0 with sdc2 and sde2 with / partition and /dev/md1 with sda2 and sdb2 for /home.  How to install grub ?  update-grub /dev/md0 ?
[03:17] <cfhowlett> booh, as you're doing dist-upgrade and not a new install, grub *should* install to its present location ...
[03:17] <Bashing-om> fermulator: for future reference, if ya can not get the head room: try ->sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.0.0-{12,13,14,15,16,17}-generic-pae <- .
[03:17] <booh> Also, I think now the boot sector is on defect drive (to be replace) on /dev/sdc and the bios boot on this drive (I'm remote now...) but if I do update-grub /dev/sdc I have this message:
[03:18] <booh> oh forget my last post :)
[03:18] <booh> cfhowlett, no.... dist-upgrade was asking me to check each drive...  and md0
[03:19] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu?
[03:19] <cfhowlett> booh, so the auto update isn't working as planned.  sorry, then.   I'm going to pass this question on to someone who knows about such things.
[03:19] <jarainf> How do I install Linux 3.12.8-1?
[03:20] <somsip> mojtaba: maybe helpful? http://is.gd/LVs28e
[03:20] <madiba> hi, i'm having some problems w/my ubuntu install on sony vaio vpcz1390x
[03:20] <madiba> 13.10
[03:21] <madiba> everything boots fine, but no launcher, unity
[03:21] <somsip> mojtaba: and a more detailed one http://is.gd/TtkSrz
[03:21] <madiba> spent a bunch of time on forums but no luck yet
[03:21] <booh> sudo grub-install /dev/sdd
[03:21] <booh> /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
[03:21] <booh> /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.
[03:21] <Bashing-om> fermulator: As a reminder -> df -i <- make sure you have the inodes now to spare !
[03:21] <booh> sdd is part of /dev/md0 --> / partition
[03:23] <DanaG> grr, okay, so my failure to log in occurs only if I log in with fingerprint.  It seems there's an invisible, un-clickable, un-typeable gnome-keyring prompt.
[03:24] <Nepahollic> so no one can help with my problem?
[03:25] <fredouille> Gedit does not include settings
[03:26] <OerHeks> fredouille, gedit > tools > preferences
[03:27] <mojtaba> somsip: So, what should I do?
[03:27] <OerHeks> pikaren, check your connection
[03:28] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu?
[03:29] <Nepahollic> well, guess I'll have to try windows
[03:29] <cfhowlett> mojtaba, you encrypted it with mac?
[03:29] <somsip> mojtaba: well I just did a search using the exact question you asked. If you get no responses here to what is a relatively unusual request, maybe you could search more. Second link seemed to suggest the answer is 'no' though
[03:29] <mojtaba> cfhowlett: Yes
[03:30] <cfhowlett> mojtaba, go back to mac and decrypt would be my suggestion ...
[03:30] <madiba> can't launch unity, ccdm opens but nothing happens when I enable unity
[03:30] <mojtaba> somsip: There is 1720 guy in this forum, willing to help people. (I think)
[03:30] <mojtaba> cfhowlett: The mac is not available. :(
[03:30] <somsip> mojtaba: then wait for an aswer, or follow the advice you are getting <shrugs>
[03:32] <madiba> already tried using ccsm to turn unity back on, no luck
[03:32] <madiba> I may have messed up xorg.conf trying to get nvidia driver to stop hogging battery :/
[03:33] <somsip> madiba: rename it to .bak and reboot to discount that possibility.
[03:36] <cfhowlett> mojtaba, external drive?  Pocket it and head for your local genius bar/Apple store.
[03:36] <madiba> somsip rename what?
[03:37] <somsip> madiba: xorg.conf
[03:37] <madiba> oh, i'll try that
[03:37] <somsip> madiba: unless you have some essentail custom stuff in there, you don't need a xorg.conf. So might be worth a try as part of the process of elimenation
[03:38] <somsip> *typo frenzy...
[03:46] <DanaG> hmm, so as it turns out, I only get that hang if I use fingerprint to log in.  It seems to be a re-surfacing of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/583428
[03:47] <kandinski> hi, super+space doesn't work for me for changing keymaps. Unity takes over the super key. Same with my other option, which is alt+capslock
[03:48] <kandinski> does anybody know of a workaround?
[03:48] <DanaG> kandinski: yeah, I find Unity quite rude like that.  It even breaks VMs and RDP.  One workaround is to change unity's activation key to, say, ctrl+super.
[03:48] <kandinski> clever
[03:49] <kandinski> DanaG, thanks
[03:49] <DanaG> Though, that does break the unity "super" muscle memory.
[03:49] <kandinski> I also want to change the "move window holding anywhere" from alt to Super, so I can use certain options in Sublime Text
[03:49] <kandinski> DanaG: I care for my workflow more, thanks a lot for the tip
[03:50] <DanaG> I've switched to Gnome Shell, because its super key usage does NOT break things.
[03:50] <kandinski> DanaG: I might try Gnome Shell now
[03:51] <DanaG> Watch out if you use autologin: when I use fingerprint login, the desktop just hangs before showing anything.  It seems to be due to a gnome keyring unlock prompt.
[03:53] <kandinski> thanks again, but no, I'm old school: I type a passphrase every time
[03:53] <madiba> unity toolbar won't appear.
[03:53] <madiba> sigh.
[03:53] <kandinski> pity, because I really liked unity. I had gotten used to it.
[03:54] <DanaG> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/950160 -- re: super key.
[03:59] <syntroPi> can someone help me compile a kernel module (i915.ko)? i did it like this http://www.codewhirl.com/2012/04/how-to-compile-a-single-module-in-ubuntu-linux/ and always get error when trying to load "i915: Unknown symbol mcount (err 0)" what is this mcount?
[04:03] <DanaG> Hmm, actually, I just logged in to Unity, to give it a try -- WITH workaround (ctrl+super) in place.
[04:05] <kandinski> and?
[04:06] <syntroPi> ls
[04:07] <DanaG> Anyway, it's been so long since I last used it; I'll give things a while before deciding which I like better.
[04:08] <kandinski> if I knew C better I'd try to fix it, because it's kind of annoying in a Desktop I otherwise quite like
[04:09] <Kalavera_> hey guys, something went wrong with a server that was in raid 10 and now it wont boot again

[04:23] <fredouille> hello
[04:23] <fredouille> i need FTP in GEDIT
[04:23] <fredouille> i tried many solutions and that does not work
[04:23] <fredouille> WHY
[04:23] <cfhowlett> !ftp|fredouille,
[04:23] <fredouille> nautilis is instable
[04:23] <cfhowlett> fredouille, because gedit is not the terminal so how could it connnect?
[04:23] <fredouille> it's bad solution, nautilus freeze my editor
[04:24] <SchrodingersScat> can gedit network?
[04:24] <fredouille> impossible, i follow this : https://gitorious.org/gedit-ftp-browser/gedit-ftp-browser/source/515a3d4129b15fcb58942bf585f31ff4a4e2c96a:
[04:24] <fredouille> and that does not work
[04:25] <cfhowlett> SchrodingersScat, it's an editor.  how would an editor connect to a network?
[04:25] <SchrodingersScat> cfhowlett: apparently you make a plugin, like the above
[04:25] <fredouille> My god, it's so hardly to work with editor and integrated FTP ?
[04:25] <jarainf> vim has a plugin for it
[04:26] <SchrodingersScat> fredouille: I would use sshfs and then you can open it in gedit AFAIK
[04:26] <fredouille> i cant i have FTP
[04:26] <SchrodingersScat> fredouille: mount it in nautilus/etc.?
[04:27] <fredouille> my autorized protocol is FTP and FTPes, it's all, you understand ?
[04:27] <SchrodingersScat> oh yeah, instable
[04:27] <fredouille> no SchrodingersScat it's instable, that freeze my editor
[04:27] <cfhowlett> fredouille, as stated on your page ... " It's a great plugin for gedit, but I found a few minor problems with it and the project hasn't been updated since 2009 (at the time I created this repostiory. "
[04:28] <fredouille> ok cfhowlett but what is the solution for to work with a FTP in my editor ?
[04:28] <cfhowlett> fredouille, so you're using a tool with problems ... but it's due to nautilus ?
[04:28] <fredouille> what editor to choose ?
[04:28] <jarainf> Use vim
[04:28] <cfhowlett> !vim
[04:28] <SchrodingersScat> fredouille: cfhowlett but the google code was updated 2011 http://code.google.com/p/gedit-ftp-browser/source/list
[04:28] <jarainf> And vim-netrw
[04:28] <fredouille> cfhowlett, the communication between editor and nautilus is low, instable, that freeze my editor
[04:29] <cfhowlett> !vim|fredouille,
[04:29] <xangua> SchrodingersScat: fredouille: it also clearly says it doesn't work with gedit 3
[04:29] <cfhowlett> xangua, !!! amazing what you learn when you read the details! thanks.
[04:30] <SchrodingersScat> fredouille: have you used the google source?
[04:30] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I mount an external hard drive encrypted in mac OSX in ubuntu?
[04:30] <SchrodingersScat> xangua: I don't see the same warning there, and the blog said it was a copy of google.  but I'm also not trying it out.
[04:30] <fredouille> i dont understand all concept among google source
[04:31] <fredouille> i juste want an editor with ftp, it's all
[04:31] <fredouille> notepad++ is able and ubuntu software not ?
[04:31] <cfhowlett> fredouille, lots of suggestions for vim ---
[04:31] <fredouille> vim is in console mode ?
[04:31] <tripelb> 12.04 gnome, dell 924 printer.  the printer  copies fine. the os sees it fine. i say print, fine
[04:31] <tripelb>  mpthing happens
[04:32] <tripelb> ot is pliggedin
[04:32] <fredouille> i am not sufficiently Geek for to work like that
[04:32] <tripelb> send too fast apologies
[04:32] <fredouille> and it's hard for me to speak english, i have a little level
[04:33] <fredouille> it was easy before, why it's hard now
[04:34] <tripelb> 12.04 gnome, dell 924 printer.  the printer  copies fine. the os sees it fine. i say print, fine, but nothing happens. Yes, it is plugged in.  :)
[04:34] <jarainf> You can enable your mouse to work in vim
[04:34] <jarainf> And you can start it in easy mode
[04:34] <jarainf> also you can use a gui
[04:34] <fredouille> vim integrate ftp ?
[04:34] <cfhowlett> !patience|tripelb,
[04:34] <jarainf> You would need to install the netrw plugin
[04:35] <fredouille> my god...plugin again
[04:35] <fredouille> i will to must to install many files again ?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> fredouille, this will surprise you - editors are for editing.  editing + networking requires something extra - like a plugin.
[04:40] <tripelb> cfhowlett: hi. you jave been around here some years. my question got somewhat garbled so i wanted to say ot all nice and on one line. i was not impatient. o am sorry you got that idea. ot is different in here tham a couple of years ago. in the last month, several questions i have had jave not even been addressed. sigh.
[04:40] <qin> fredouille: I think vim you can use over ssh remotely, or localy on mounted sshfs, ftp is a horrific idea to editing, it's like repairing car engine via exaust
[04:41] <cfhowlett> tripelb, understood.  answers aren't always instantly available, but your issue sounds workable.
[04:41] <kandinski> foo
[04:41] <kandinski> \
[04:41] <qin> bar
[04:41] <kandinski> sorry, wrong window
[04:41] <cfhowlett> !cups
[04:42] <cfhowlett> tripelb, see the cups entry above and run it.  might be worthwhile seeing the return messages
[04:43] <tripelb> cfhowlett: ok. i have been lucky with hp in the past. np.
[04:44] <cfhowlett> tripelb, if I had to guess, I'd suggest a setting - wrong size paper or something.  I'm in China now.  My 8.5 x 11 paper settings conflicted with the local A4 size so the jobs would hang without always sending notification ...
[04:46] <tripelb> cfhowlett: how do i get the prining queue status info?
[04:47] <Spleeze> set awl_display_key
[04:49] <tripelb> cfhowlett: So my printer does not work woth Feisty. Might 12.04 be more able?  Damm I gave away the HP.

[04:58] <rawfodog> GONE you want to crack your wpa ?
[04:58] <GONE_> yes
[04:58] <rawfodog> You should check youtube or securitytube.net
[04:59] <rawfodog> Or hack forums.net
[04:59] <rawfodog> Do your parents know you are doing this ?
[04:59] <GONE_> i am 18
[04:59] <rawfodog> ok
[04:59] <Garheade> GONE_: You might need to find a different source for that kind of tutorial.
[05:00] <rawfodog> If you want to be a tru hacker, you should go to securitytube.net k ?
[05:01] <GONE_> hat kind  of resources <Garheade

[05:01] <FiremanEd> !ot | GONE_
[05:12] <GONE_> HI sorry but i have question ? can i use the online ckracking services availabale and can you recommand me some sites concerned about cracking WPA pass
[05:13] <somsip> GONE_: still off topic.
[05:13] <Beldar> GONE_, Not a ubuntu support issue at the least.
[05:13] <GONE_> i went to  off topic ch but nobody helped me
[05:13] <somsip> GONE_: it's *still* off topic here
[05:20] <syntroPi> anyone here got an intel haswell  GPU running on a laptop and using external docking station? why would this always freeze the system?
[05:23] <Beldar> syntroPi, Have you searched the net on whether that dock will interface with linux at all?
[05:25] <syntroPi> Beldar, usb is working and HDMI should work occasionally: i think its a buggy i915 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71267
[05:26] <syntroPi> Beldar, i applied their patch without any effect on ubuntu 13.10 3.11.0-15-generic x64 kernel with Lenovo L440  i3-4000M CPU @ 2.40GHz
[05:27] <syntroPi> no fun so far :-/
[05:27] <Beldar> syntroPi, I only had one question, no real answer here
[05:27] <syntroPi> Beldar, i did not find any particular mention of this dock working on linux
[05:27] <syntroPi> only ppl trying to mess around with it
[05:28] <kieppie1> howdy
[05:28] <kieppie1> I'm running 13.10 & trying to import an .ovpn vonfig file for openvpn into the network manager
[05:31] <ezrhino> does something like Ccleaner exist for Ubuntu? I wish to really clean out firefox more than the supplied abilities
[05:35] <syntroPi> ezrafree, search for BleachBit

[05:49] <FreewheelinFrank> anyone install google earth? I have two folders with data that need to go somewhere
[05:49] <Spleeze> ll
[05:49] <somsip> Spleeze: do you have a support question?
[05:49] <Spleeze> no, i'm just an idiot
[05:49] <somsip> FreewheelinFrank: how did you install it?
[05:49] <Spleeze> don't mind me
[05:49] <somsip> Spleeze: try #ubuntu-offtopic then
[05:50] <FreewheelinFrank> i chose download file, i believe it was a .deb file
[05:50] <Spleeze> win 1
[05:51] <somsip> FreewheelinFrank: it's not best advice to recommend PPAs here, but I installed Google Earth via PPA with no problems. SO it might be an alternative http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_earth
[05:52] <FreewheelinFrank> thanks I'll give it a try
[05:53] <interweb> Is there any differences between ubuntu + xfce and xubuntu ?
[05:54] <Beldar> interweb, All are desktops if you have them all installed packages from all will mix to some extent
[05:55] <somsip> interweb: xubuntu has some default apps that won't get installed if you just add xfce to a standard ubuntu install.
[05:55] <Danato> would I have any side effects if I installed PinguyOS on a netbook that only supports 1024x600, when piguy asks for 1024x768?
[05:55] <interweb> another thing when ubuntu 14.04 comes out is it better to upgrade from 13.10 to it or fresh install it ?
[05:56] <somsip> Danato: pinguyos is not suported here. This is ubuntu support
[05:56] <xfrozty> a
[05:56] <Beldar> interweb, better is an opinion, whatever works for you.
[05:56] <somsip> interweb: different people do different things. I'm on 12.04 with upgrades from 10.10 with no real problems. I'll fresh install 14.04.
[05:56] <Danato> somsip: I know but since its based on ubuntu I thought I'd have somebody here that knows something
[05:56] <somsip> Danato: you do need pinguyos support. Maybe they have their own channel
[05:57] <Danato> somsip: ok ok
[05:57] <somsip> Danato: link here http://forum.pinguyos.com/Forum-Help-Support
[06:00] <FreewheelinFrank> somsip: I get message Dependency is not satisfiable:ia32.libs
[06:00] <interweb> Beldar, somsip , I've never tried to upgrade
[06:01] <tripelb> somsip: localhoat:631  Printers tab. shows mine as text-only printer. any hope for a driver?
[06:02] <somsip> FreewheelinFrank: that's unfortunate, especially as I recommended it. A fix on here for 13.10 64 bit install if that covers you? http://is.gd/a6W5vN
[06:02] <Beldar> interweb, Many upgrade with no problems, personally I fresh install it's much faster and a clean OS.
[06:02] <somsip> tripelb: no idea. I try to have nothing to do with printers.
[06:02] <FreewheelinFrank> somsip: not your fault i was trying to install the original .deb file <idiot>
[06:02] <Beldar> faster for me anyway
[06:03] <Danato> somsip: I couldnt find it, but I'll make it an ubuntu question.
[06:03] <Danato> would I have any side effects if I installed Ubuntu on a netbook that only supports 1024x600, when ubuntu asks for 1024x768?
[06:03] <somsip> FreewheelinFrank: some references on that link too for that, but I didn't read so you may need to research more.
[06:03] <somsip> Danato: pinguyos is not supported here. They have their own channel for support. Go there
[06:03] <somsip> !alis | Danato
[06:06] <FreewheelinFrank> somsip: Thanks I will do that

[06:13] <Danato> somsip: I'm sorry I lost connection and I may have missed something. But would it be too much if I asked if I can install ubuntu on a 1024x600 computer?
[06:13] <somsip> Danato: you missed me telling you to get support for pinguyos from the correct channel, not here.
[06:13] <syntroPi> has anyone here got a Lenovo ThinkPad Pro Dock (65W PSU Type 40A1) 40A10065EU-FL dock working on a Haswell intel GPU (i915)?

[06:16] <Danato> somsip: I'm there, but theres nobody active. But in case it was Ubuntu and not PinguyOS, would it be ok to install it on a 1024x600 display netbook?
[06:17] <octocodercat> how big is the entire universe APT repository for saucy x64 and is there a way to get a wget list for every deb file in it?

[06:29] <tjj> What's the difference between "/etc/init.d/mysql start" and "service mysql start" ?
[06:29] <somsip> tjj: using init.d is the 'old way' whereas using 'service' is utilising ubuntu's upstart approach
[06:29] <somsip> !upstart | tjj
[06:30] <tjj> OK, thanks. Followup question: what script is run when I do "service mysql start"?

[07:36] <erelon> I'm using an old thinkpad computer (Z-260). last month my windows died and i could not be botherd to fix it (blue dead screen), so i installed ubuntu.  Yestaday i have decided do extend the ubuntu partition because i didn't have enough space to install packeges. Gparted said that there is a problem with the windows partition and that i need to run a CHKDSK. So, i loaded a live USB with windows SP3 instalation and run it on the windows
[07:36] <KI7MT> salamy, and for clinets, see this info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[07:36] <ink3> if anyone can help me?
[07:36] <KI7MT> ink3,
[07:36] <KI7MT> !ask
[07:36] <somsip> !anyone | ink3 (I know you were hear earlier but state your question again)
[07:36] <erelon> oops
[07:36] <somsip> *here
[07:36] <erelon> not all loaded, just a moment
[07:36] <KI7MT> Hmm hows come those arent' working
[07:37] <erelon>  I'm using an old thinkpad computer (Z-260). last month my windows died and i could not be botherd to fix it (blue dead screen), so i installed ubuntu.
[07:37] <somsip> KI7MT: bot gets slow sometimes
[07:37] <erelon>  Yestaday i have decided do extend the ubuntu partition because i didn't have enough space to install packeges.
[07:37] <MasterOfDisaster> ink3: without any more data to go on, your user's dotfiles for your WM/DE might be broken. make a backup then delete them, or move them.
[07:37] <erelon>  Gparted said that there is a problem with the windows partition and that i need to run a CHKDSK. So, i loaded a live USB with windows SP3 instalation and run it on the windows partition. The windows still didnt work, but using live USB with ubuntu(the same one), the Gparted did work and extended my ubuntu on the free space in the broken windows.
[07:37] <KI7MT> I think maybe was on my end, had Inet issue earlier.
[07:37] <KI7MT> *thought it was
[07:37] <erelon>  Then my booting was resetted to the windows boot (and did not work), so i used the live USB of ubuntu to use boot-repare.
[07:37] <erelon>  After that, i got the booting window of ubuntu- and run it, the ubuntu worked.
[07:37] <erelon>  Today- i tried to open the ubuntu again (i got the right booting menu), but it loaded and loaded and didnt open, when i tried to move my mouse, my pointer was in a shape of X.
[07:37] <erelon>  I tried the boot-repare again, and again with changing the proparties of it- but nothing. It hit me that the booting is not the problem.
[07:38] <erelon> what to do?
[07:38] <solsTiCe> hi. I have an inpsiron 15 (3521) with hd 4000.

[07:46] <X-Seti> I have a weird /root folder delete issue where I can not seem to remove a folder within called XEjfK bMbA/, even with sudo or signed on as root. rm -rf * seems not to do anything, ive even left this for 8 hours.. the process is running..
[07:46] <somsip> X-Seti: that might be why it is not deletable. Try fuser

[07:48] <interweb> How do I can install pip on ubuntu

[07:49] <X-Seti> I added an extra file in the /root folder then ran rm -rfRv *
[07:50] <RaptorJesus> herro
[07:50] <RaptorJesus> I <3 Ubuntu
[07:50] <X-Seti> it removed the files I stuck in there except XEjfK bMbA/ and I did try fuser. not sure about what options to use with that
[07:51] <interweb> somsip, found it there is python-pip package
[07:51] <somsip> X-Seti: fuser {directory or file}
[07:52] <X-Seti> somsip, /root/XEjfK bMbA:     4395c  4583c  5395
[07:52] <somsip> X-Seti: so those process are using it. Do a ps aux | grep {process number} to find out what they are and if you want to kill them
[07:53] <somsip> X-Seti: just ps {process-number}...
[07:53] <X-Seti> 5395 pts/9    D+     0:00 rm -rf XEjfK bMbA
[07:54] <X-Seti> my other attempts at trying to remove that folder
[07:55] <somsip> X-Seti: an option would be to kill the processes then try to delete again. But I'd imagine those will become zombie processes too
[07:55] <X-Seti> somsip, all killed
[07:55] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys anyone know if it is normal to have this show up in your rkhunter logs? [20:38:42] Info: Found file '/bin/egrep': it is whitelisted for the 'script replacement' check.
[07:56] <Psil0Cybin> how can i find out the md5sum of /bin/egrep in comparision to an unmodified file?
[07:58] <X-Seti> somsip, /root/XEjfK bMbA:     4395c  4583c      I killed all that i could see using ps and system-monitor for the zombie processes
[07:58] <X-Seti> somsip, /root/XEjfK bMbA:     4395c  4583c      I killed all that i could see using ps and system-monitor for the zombie processes
[07:59] <X-Seti> sorry.. I didnt mean to repost.
[07:59] <somsip> X-Seti: Have you, or can you, reboot? I know it sounds weak, but...
[08:00] <octocodercat> I love synaptic
[08:00] <X-Seti> sure, ive also tired live CD and reinstalled.
[08:00] <octocodercat> and I love axel! <3
[08:00] <somsip> X-Seti: you've reinstalled and still have this file?
[08:00] <somsip> er...directory
[08:00] <X-Seti> I left it doing rm -rf * and come back 8 hours later to find it still sitting there
[08:00] <Psil0Cybin> someone said that md5sum /bin/egrep
[08:00] <Psil0Cybin> 5bc0f4598a8cd6b33740b240fe5fbaf7 /bin/egrep should be the same, does that make sense for everyone?
[08:00] <helmut_> hi
[08:01] <X-Seti> somsip, yes
[08:01] <X-Seti> somsip, the distro borked yeasterday so I removed all the folders except /home
[08:02] <X-Seti> I didnt know about the problem in /root till I reinstalled, I couldnt lose everything again.
[08:02] <Ben64> X-Seti: either something you're installing is putting that there then, or you're installing some weird version of the ubuntu cd
[08:02] <X-Seti> just the one from ubuntu.com
[08:02] <Ben64> you should verify md5
[08:03] <cfhowlett> X-Seti, torrent generally is a more reliable method than direct download ... and ALWAYS md5sum
[08:03] <X-Seti> 13.10 i386 no weird crap
[08:03] <Psil0Cybin> anyone know where i can find checksums of a clean build xubuntu 12.04 system
[08:03] <Psil0Cybin> for /etc/egrep and /bin/fgrep?
[08:03] <cfhowlett> Psil0Cybin, all such info is on the download page
[08:04] <X-Seti> torrent would have been ok, back 6 months ago, but here in the UK most torrent sites are block legal or otherwise
[08:04] <Psil0Cybin> cfhowlett: if you are downloading the iso, but not on a system that is already installed
[08:05] <X-Seti> I cant access the ubuntu torrents any more :( I used to download them all the time.
[08:05] <Ben64> Psil0Cybin: no, there probably is not something with a list of md5s for every file in the system, that'd be too much effort
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> ben64 so is it normal that rkhunter has white listed /etc/fgrep and egrep?
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> how can i check if these files ever got midified?
[08:06] <Ben64> Psil0Cybin: don't get hacked?
[08:06] <X-Seti> cfhowlett, I am not a fan of illegal downloading, yet i'm slammed by the ISP in effort to block others
[08:07] <cfhowlett> X-Seti, that sux
[08:07] <X-Seti> cfhowlett, sure does. in the meantime that folder that will not be deleted
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> Ben64: is this normal for rkhunter to say? [03:01:24]   /usr/sbin/adduser                               [ OK ]
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> [03:01:24] Info: Found file '/usr/sbin/adduser': it is whitelisted for the 'script replacement' check.?
[08:08] <Ben64> Psil0Cybin: i couldn't tell you, i don't use rkhunter
[08:08] <X-Seti> cfhowlett, I really need to get this sorted. :) but I do not know any of you well enough to show you in depth the problem or even access to this system
[08:09] <Ben64> X-Seti: why would you need to know us to pastebin things, or md5 the installation iso you used?
[08:09] <X-Seti> I do not want to go installing for scratch, I can't back up the /home folder, to big
[08:10] <cfhowlett> X-Seti, can you live boot and backup to an external HDD/USB?
[08:10] <X-Seti> Ben64, in the way of teamview, showing the desktop. not given access directly
[08:10] <Ben64> we don't need to see it, we usually just need pastebins
[08:10] <X-Seti> cfhowlett, not this time, the home folder has outgrown anything I have to hand.
[08:11] <X-Seti> cfhowlett, otherwise I would reformat.
[08:11] <KI7MT> Is this his a specif problem, or a group of random issues we're talking about here ?
[08:11] <Ben64> can you live boot and come back here and pastebin things?
[08:11] <KI7MT> *specific
[08:12] <Ben64> KI7MT: undeletable folder in /root
[08:12] <KI7MT> Hmm ok
[08:14] <X-Seti> Ben64, yes I could.. brb
[08:16] <Psil0Cybin> cfhowlett: if i already installed ubuntu how can i check the md5sums of specific files I know it is not done, but oculd anyone on here be able toconfirm if a file has an appropriate hash
[08:17] <KI7MT> Wonder if it's a Sticky bit issue on that folder, created by some rogue app or maybe even a bug.
[08:17] <Ben64> Psil0Cybin: you really should be less concerned about hashes and rkhunter
[08:17] <Psil0Cybin> okay all i found out that all the files I am worried about are white listed by defualt by ubuntu
[08:17] <Psil0Cybin> I am just curious, for my own paranoia.
[08:17] <Ben64> then reinstall all the packages for them
[08:17] <Psil0Cybin> okay I found out that*
[08:17] <Psil0Cybin> well all packages got installed via repos
[08:18] <Ben64> hence "reinstall"
[08:18] <KI7MT> when people are that paranoid, there's usually a reason why ..
[08:18] <Psil0Cybin> so i am not worried about any packages or software, just the /etc/estab files or fstabs, that popped up saying it was white listed on rkhunter
[08:18] <Psil0Cybin> but i guess that is normal
[08:18] <Ben64> and you keep making up file names too
[08:18] <KI7MT> lol
[08:20] <Psil0Cybin> /bin/egrep* lol
[08:22] <solars> hi, I have an annoying problem - every few seconds my mouse/keyboard connected through one usb socket, stops working for a few seconds - can anyone tell me how to debug this?
[08:23] <interweb> How do I can use pacman package manager on ubuntu ?
[08:23] <cfhowlett> interweb, as opposed to the default (and well integrated) package manager? ...
[08:24] <Psil0Cybin> solars sounds like a power issue
[08:24] <interweb> cfhowlett, what ?
[08:25] <cfhowlett> interweb, ubuntu has an internal package manager.  why would you want pacman instead?
[08:25] <X-Seti> back
[08:25] <X-Seti> live cd and everything.
[08:25] <Psil0Cybin> KI7MT: I am not paranoid really for a reason just want to make sure my md5sums of senesative files are accurate...but i guess there is no way
[08:25] <interweb> cfhowlett, Pacman is better , it is faster and has more options
[08:26] <cfhowlett> interweb, your system. you break it, you bought it ...  install your pacman and invoke it from command line to use
[08:27] <X-Seti> guess I should rm -rf * from here
[08:27] <KI7MT> That's not only going against the Ubuntu grain, but upstream Debian too .. may as well build an LFS .. LOL
[08:27] <cfhowlett> !who
[08:28] <cfhowlett> KI7MT, I agree ...
[08:28] <KI7MT> X-Seti, What are the permissions on that folder you can't get rid .. who's the owner, and is the Sticky bit set by any chance?
[08:28] <solars> Psil0Cybin, but I never had it before..
[08:29] <X-Seti> KI7MT:  shows as root / folder is /root with a folder called XEjfK bMbA/
[08:29] <Wiz-KeeD> Is installing ubuntu 13.10 on UEFI dual-boot (that has been a tad problematic) on a SSD would be even more problematic?
[08:29] <X-Seti> I have no idea where XEjfK bMbA/ has come from or what has generated it.
[08:29] <Ben64> X-Seti: pastebin ln -lna /root
[08:30] <Ben64> X-Seti: sorry, ls -lna /root
[08:30] <Psil0Cybin> solars: can you do me a favour, do you have a live cd on you by chance?
[08:31] <solars> nope sorry... why
[08:31] <Psil0Cybin> I recommend putting in a live cd, if the problem persists, its a hardware issue, if it does not...you can know for sure
[08:31] <Psil0Cybin> its software.
[08:31] <solars> ah, good idea
[08:31] <solars> yeah
[08:31] <solars> Psil0Cybin, are there any logs maybe where I could see the USB disconnecting or so?
[08:32] <X-Seti> http://pastebin.com/PMiTa8EP
[08:32] <Psil0Cybin> solars, not going to lie..im a newbie.. i learn alot from the people here lool...sorry
[08:32] <Psil0Cybin> solars: /var/log/syslog
[08:32] <Psil0Cybin> that is the log
[08:32] <Kartagis> where can I ask about mp3 tagging?
[08:33] <Psil0Cybin> with a quick google,. we both just learned.
[08:33] <cfhowlett> Kartagis, #opensourcemusicians
[08:33] <Psil0Cybin> "Ubuntu logs when a USB device is connected. The file is /var/log/syslog. You can also view it by issuing the command dmesg -c or graphically using Log file viewer."
[08:33] <X-Seti> drwxrwxrwx  2 0 0<PHONE_NUMBER> Jan 23 06:25 XEjfK bMbA thats not owned by root, I did try chmod -R 777 * earler
[08:34] <Kartagis> thanks cfhowlett
[08:34] <Ben64> X-Seti: 0 is root
[08:34] <Ben64> the weird part is the directory is apparently 1GB
[08:35] <X-Seti> it has countless files that takes to long for du or cat to log
[08:35] <KI7MT> X-Seti, just for grinds, sudo chmod -t ./that goof folder name
[08:35] <X-Seti> k
[08:35] <KI7MT> *grins ..
[08:36] <KI7MT> X-Seti, and I jsut read what you posted above .. you didn't do that chmod -R 777 * while in /root did you ?
[08:37] <X-Seti> I can't find the backslash normally left of Z, I wonder what key map this is
[08:37] <KI7MT> Same key as |
[08:37] <X-Seti> I did it today just on the folder just to see if I could delete it any easier.
[08:37] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys I keep getting these messages when i run sudo apt-get update " W:Failed to fetch https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/motorbike/ubuntu/dists" How can I remove tehse private PPA's from games from steam?
[08:38] <Psil0Cybin> the games and files are already gone
[08:38] <Psil0Cybin> but the ppa's and it attempts to update from are persistent
[08:38] <KI7MT> !ppa | Psil0Cybin,
[08:38] <KI7MT> Psil0Cybin, See the part about ppa-purge
[08:39] <X-Seti> chmod -t XEjfK\ bMbA/ done
[08:39] <X-Seti> cut and paste I got there in the end
[08:39] <KI7MT> Now try to  remove it.
[08:40] <X-Seti> rm -rf XEjfK\ bMbA/ done, waiting, hopfully not for another 8 hours. like I did last night
[08:40] <KI7MT> You may have to chown the folder .. not sure how that works in LiveCD
[08:40] <X-Seti> done too.
[08:41] <X-Seti> its running. waiting.
[08:41] <Psil0Cybin> KI7MT: how can I see my current PPA's? It shows how to remove them ,but now where the list of the ppa's is located
[08:41] <Ben64> maybe you should check whats inside first?
[08:41] <X-Seti> this is a very strange problem, never ever had this before.
[08:42] <somsip> Psil0Cybin: /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[08:42] <KI7MT> X-Seti, a faster way to del may be like: sudo rm -rf foo/
[08:42] <KI7MT> with foo/ being that odd-ball folder
[08:42] <X-Seti> Ben64, hundreds if not thousands of little files oddly named like f437v22 etc
[08:43] <Psil0Cybin> ty
[08:43] <Psil0Cybin> somsip:
[08:43] <Ben64> X-Seti: how much space do they all take up?
[08:43] <X-Seti> let me try and get back into that folder again, the du or cat just hangs or takes to long to list.
[08:44] <KI7MT> X-Seti, You coudl do an rsync -a ---delete too :-) .. that works real fast whn you sync an empty folder to the full one.
[08:44] <X-Seti> cant kill the rm -rf command I just ran, closing that window.
[08:45] <Ben64> there must be millions of files in there
[08:45] <KI7MT> X-Seti, Probably too many files for rm
[08:45] <X-Seti> yep
[08:45] <Ben64> you really really should figure out why those are there
[08:46] <KI7MT> X-Seti, this will work: sudo mkdir empty_dir && rsync -a --delete empty_dir/    foo-bar-folder/
[08:46] <X-Seti> I have no idea, looking around the web there isnt much
[08:46] <Ben64> try to find anything in there with data on it
[08:46] <X-Seti> I was thinking that it's a bug you guys know about.
[08:46] <Ben64> also, what are you doing on root? i'm betting its something you did
[08:48] <X-Seti> i sudo everything not root
[08:48] <KI7MT> That's a possibility .. I borked a ubuntu-server activating the root account
[08:48] <linus> how to get flash-plugin?
[08:48] <Ben64> X-Seti: drwxr-xr-x  3 0 0       4096 Jul 26 09:31 .linuxmint
[08:48] <Ben64> you're on mint? you should ask them!
[08:48] <adac> Is it possible to adjust the position of an image within layer slider slide?
[08:49] <X-Seti> its ubuntu reinstalled
[08:49] <adac> wrong channel sry
[08:50] <KI7MT> X-Seti, how do you mean ubuntu --reinstalled ?
[08:51] <X-Seti>    I reinstalled from mint, trying to delete everything except the home/ folder and ran into the root/ file issue, I moved onto installing ubuntu 13.10 leaving the filesystem intact without formatting.
[08:52] <X-Seti> I got rid of mint because there was to many bugs.
[08:52] <Ben64> well nobody is likely to help you with your frankensystem
[08:52] <X-Seti> I moved back onto ubuntu i386 13.10
[08:52] <X-Seti> LOL
[08:52] <Wiz-KeeD> X-Seti, why is that?
[08:52] <KI7MT> X-Seti, maybe the problem is comming "from" your /home directory then.
[08:53] <X-Seti> well all the mint crap is gone, just my work related stuff in the /home folder
[08:53] <X-Seti> how can it be?
[08:53] <Ben64> no, all the mint stuff is not gone, you just said you didn't format
[08:53] <Ben64> you can try the mint support, but i doubt they'd help you, since its not really mint either
[08:54] <KI7MT> You should, in theory, if your /home is on it's own partition, be able to install /root and formate it, and use the existing home without formatting it.
[08:54] <X-Seti> I deleted the /bin /etc /libs* /usr /var /boot etc
[08:54] <X-Seti> and found I couldnt remove the /root folder contents.
[08:55] <X-Seti> knowning there was an issue I reinstalled from that point hoping that the Ubuntu live CD from there I could remove the .root  folder.
[08:56] <KI7MT> X-Seti, you need /home on it's own parition, then you can trash the corrupt /root  ..
[08:56] <X-Seti> im thinking abont going out today and getting another USB drive so I can backup the home and reformat the rest
[08:57] <Ben64> X-Seti: you need to wipe everything and install fresh if you want support in here
[08:57] <X-Seti> I was hoping it woudlnt come to this.
[08:57] <KI7MT> X-Seti, that thing sounds pretty messed up.
[08:58] <Ben64> couple quick calculations, over 53 million files are in that directory
[08:58] <X-Seti> yep. I always had the idea you could fix anything with a live CD
[08:58] <KI7MT>  rsync -a --delete .. easy peasy
[08:58] <X-Seti> brb
[08:59] <Ben64> KI7MT: not with 53,000,000 files
[08:59] <KI7MT> X-Seti, yeah, just sync an empty dir to the full one. may tak a while, but should'nt choak too bad
[09:00] <KI7MT> That is allot of files, never seen that many on a system.
[09:00] <Ben64> rsync provides no advantages over rm
[09:00] <X-Seti> I have always used ubuntu for most of my stuff, I tried mint 6 months ago because I got pissed at unity
[09:00] <dhaval2712> Hey, silly question but where should I put a new path variable? Should it be /etc/profile, .bash_login or .bashrc or maybe something else?
[09:00] <KI7MT> I've used it when rm choaked.
[09:00] <X-Seti> I found there was alot of issues with mint everyone should stay away from
[09:01] <X-Seti> deleted what I could and saved the home. and now this.. HAha
[09:01] <X-Seti> rsync -a --delete *     not a dicky bird, nothing
[09:02] <KI7MT> Ben64,  suppsoe there always:  ls -1 | wc -l && time find ./* -type f -delete
[09:02] <Ben64> KI7MT: why do you keep trying to make deleting more difficult
[09:03] <KI7MT> Im not, I dont need to delete anythign, he can't and evrything he's tried has failed.
[09:03] <Ben64> its not failing, its 53 million files
[09:03] <KI7MT> is that not a fail, if he can't delete  them ?
[09:05] <KI7MT> It doesnt' matter it's 1000 x 1000GB files that fail or 53 million 1kb files that fails, the end result is a failed delete
[09:06] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:07] <X-Seti> What i'd like to know is how it happen.
[09:12] <KingK> vimont
[09:12] <X-Seti> booting back to system. I need to get some work done. those files as annoying as they are arnt going to effect anything.
[09:12] <KI7MT> X-Seti, I dont know .. I doubt you'lll find the root cause unless it appears again after a reinstall.
[09:13] <X-Seti> I know one thing, Stay away from mint, its lost its freshness.
[09:13] <X-Seti> :)
[09:13] <X-Seti> brb
[09:13] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:19] <cristian_c> Hi
[09:20] <Gone_> Hi please help i got [10:17] == #aircrack Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited ??
[09:20] <cfhowlett> Gone_, aircrack is not supported here.
[09:20] <cristian_c> How can I add a discussion group type account in Sylpheed?
[09:20] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[09:21] <Gone_> how can i get access to it then ????
[09:21] <Gone_> cfhowlett>
[09:21] <Myrtti> Gone_: it's closed down and you can't
[09:21] <cfhowlett> Gone_, ask !freenode
[09:21] <Myrtti> Gone_: it's forwarding to some other channel, and you're probably already in it.
[09:21] <cfhowlett> Gone_, or look for support on the aircrack site -
[09:22] <Gone_> plsz i don't understand how the IRC works , how can i get access to all irc chanel what should i install in my ubuntu ??
[09:23] <cfhowlett> Gone_, nothing to install.  if the channel is restricted, take up the issue with the support/moderators
[09:24] <KI7MT> indeed, if your already in here, you have the right tool for the job .. ..
[09:25] <X-Seti> KI7MT, im looking at the HD using testdisk, im wondering if the delete works this way
[09:26] <KI7MT> X-Seti, best advice I can give you on that problem, back up /home, and start over.
[09:27] <X-Seti> Yeah. I know. im looking at the wife wondering about getting another HDD.
[09:27] <X-Seti> :) bbs
[09:28] <KI7MT> X-Seti, I can look all I want normally, that don't do much good here :-)
[09:33] <joshuag> hello
[09:34] <thom_r> anyone know how to transfer music to an ipod?
[09:34] <cfhowlett> joshuag, greetings
[09:34] <cfhowlett> !ipod|thom_r,
[09:34] <joshuag> some one help me with a problem?
[09:34] <cfhowlett> !ask|joshuag,
[09:35] <consfearacy> ubuntu is the shiznit
[09:35] <rustuptwist> track pad woes on 12.0.4. -  anyway to make it work better on my hp pavilion dv2000?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: what is 'better'? what is the issue?
[09:37] <joshuag> i am trying to dual boot windows 8.1 pro 64bit and ubuntu 13.10 64bit using a cd i can get to a splash screen for ubuntu but after that i get a "cannot find live medium file system" what do i do. i tested the cd and it works on my laptop.
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> joshuag: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[09:38] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  track pad works intermittently.
[09:38] <joshuag> i don't know how to check the md5
[09:39] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  responds to touch sometimes, other times does not. like a girlfriend with PMS, you know, lol
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> joshuag: but you have an Internet connection, so can find out..right?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: try the boot option: i8024.nomux=1     may help
[09:40] <cristian_c> Another question:
[09:40] <cristian_c> I'm using mtpaint, I've looked for in the doc, but I've not found an answer
[09:41] <cristian_c> I'd like to align the text for example, but I don't know how to do
[09:41] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: do you mean a text search in the file you have open?
[09:41] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, no
[09:41] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, text alignment
[09:41] <cristian_c> left, center, right
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: I dont think it does that, you just click where you wat the text to start being written, surely
[09:43] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, ok
[09:43] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  how do i do that? btw i installed all updates that were available a few hours ago.
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: change the "quiet splash" to "quiet splash i8024.nomux=1"    save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo update-grub
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: reboot to test
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: thats the way you add permanent boot options in Grub2 :). To undo, remove the text you added and run:  sudo update-grub    again
[09:46] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|joshuag,
[09:46] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  how do i get to the 'terminal' or what it is called in Ubuntu to run those commands? it is not apparent where it is
[09:49] <rustuptwist> !run
[09:50] <chamar> can anyone guide me over mythTV , i want to run it
[09:50] <cfhowlett> !myth
[09:50] <cfhowlett> !mythtv
[09:50] <rustuptwist> !gksudo edit
[09:51] <joshuag> what program do u use to calc the md5
[09:51] <trijntje> rustuptwist: just search for terminal in the dash
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: CTRL+ALT+T
[09:51] <rustuptwist> trijntje:  thanks
[09:51] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  thanks
[09:51] <cfhowlett> joshuag, me?  I used the linux command line given in the factoid we sent you ...
[09:52] <interweb> Are all packages installed using python-pip safe ?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> interweb: if they are from the official ubuntu repos, yes
[09:52] <joshuag> i don't have linux
[09:52] <cfhowlett> !details|joshuag,
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> joshuag: there are MD5 checkers for ALL OSes
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | joshuag
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> joshuag: MD5 is not unique to Linux
[09:53] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  is there a 'space' between 'gedit' and the '/' ?
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: yes, gedit is the command and the /etc/default/grub  is the file to open with it
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: it's like:   notepad c:\boot.ini
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: you just asked if it's:  notepadc:\boot.ini   it's not going to work ;)
[09:55] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  i get: Error: no "edit' mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: does the file open ok though?
[09:55] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  no i get nothing except that error message in Terminal
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: so you ran:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: you can copy and paste to the terminal, its why I give the exact command

[10:15] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  seems about the same, after the modifications.
[10:15] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  seems trackpads gives ubuntu problems, no
[10:16] <Myrtti> xerror: cdimage.ubuntu.com

[10:20] <xerror> :-) kk
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: depends on the pad really, if its not beneficial then remove the boot option and rebot, then report a bug
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> rustuptwist: you could try disabling tap-click. I've seen that resolve issues occasionally
[10:23] <joshuag> where do i find the md5 sums at on the ubuntu website
[10:23] <rustuptwist> ActionParsnip:  ok go back into grub to disable tap-click yes? any recommendations for irc clients on Ubuntu?
[10:23] <shaji> add more servers to irc howto
[10:28] <joshuag> i checked it and it was fine
[10:30] <joshuag> so why am i getting that error
[10:33] <joshuag> :( i guess every one went to bed
[10:34] <helper> hey mates, i need serious help ! i am trying to setup Chroot (Sftp) but not working always give me permission denied and on /var/log/secure i receive this: http://pastebin.com/Xb1Dwh5u sshd config for sftp: http://pastebin.com/rZjACKNn anyone can help me in this pls (stuck for 5 hours :( )
[10:34] <yacc> rustuptwist: Quassel seems to be nice :)
[10:35] <yacc> rustuptwist: but that depends slightly on your intended usage, PLUS your network infrastructure.
[10:35] <chemist^> joshuag, no...we just woke up ;) it's 11:30 AM
[10:35] <yacc> rustuptwist: I'm helped by the fact that my home LAN's router is a full blown Ubuntu PC.
[10:36] <joshuag> i am having problems with dual booting win 8.1 and ubuntu 13.10
[10:36] <yacc> joshuag: guess you are not looking for help reclaiming the wasted storage space labeled "Windows 8.1" on your PC? :-P
[10:37] <joshuag> ha ha funny funny
[10:38] <joshuag> well if i could get it to install i would be happy
[10:38] <yacc> joshuag: well, I went the simple way, I bought a laptop with "FreeDOS" installed. (Actually it turned out to be a text mode only Linpus Lite system, guess for a lay person that looks very "FreeDOS like" )
[10:38] <joshuag> ive checked the md5 and its the same
[10:38] <q0> my clock is not showing in top bar
[10:38] <q0> help me
[10:38] <yacc> joshuag: so what are your issues?
[10:39] <q0> i can't use the time settings to enable it either, blurred out
[10:39] <farway> yesterday out server (12.04.4 LTS)  updated mysql automatically, but it did not start up the process again, the mysql logs show http://pastebin.com/9FrCbVWv does anyone had the same problem or know if i need to do something to prevent that this will happen again (the warnings about the config file are already fixed)?
[10:39] <cfhowlett> !server|farway,
[10:40] <yacc> joshuag: but then, my new employer thought that I need to buy a new laptop for work, so I have a Linux PC ;)
[10:40] <farway> upps :D
[10:40] <farway> i'll switch to the other channel
[10:41] <joshuag> well i cant get passed the splash screen of ubuntu always gives me cant find live file system
[10:41] <yacc> joshuag: so you have issues running the Ubuntu installer?
[10:42] <yacc> Just making sure => so you have no Ubuntu yet on your box.
[10:42] <joshuag> yea
[10:42] <q0> tell me why my clock is lost
[10:42] <q0> you are all wise men but when it comes to top bar clock you all fail
[10:42] <cfhowlett> !attitude|q0,
[10:43] <q0> !attitude|cfhowlett
[10:43] <Danato> lol
[10:47] <joshuag> so i guess i won't find an answer:(
[10:47] <joshuag> :(
[10:49] <Danato> here's a thing, I use a wifi network, WPA2, PEAP and I dont have a ca, certificate, and it doesnt work, so the solution Ive been using is deleting the line "system-ca-certs=true" from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections as explained here http://askubuntu.com/questions/285234/cannot-connect-to-wpa2-wpa-enterprise-peap-and-mschap
[10:50] <Danato> the problem is that after doing that, ubuntu keeps asking me for the password once in a while
[10:50] <Danato> it doesnt just save it as it should
[10:50] <rustuptwist> yacc:  just using ubuntu on an hp laptop
[10:51] <Danato> is there any solution for that? or maybe a better solution for the first problem?
[10:51] <cfhowlett> Danato, sure it's UBUNTU asking for the password and not the network settings/router settings?
[10:51] <rustuptwist> anybody using comoro anti virus for Linux?
[10:51] <rustuptwist> *comodo
[10:51] <yacc> rustuptwist: the big question is, do you have a place it is always running and connected. Laptops have this bad habit of loosing connectivity or even worse getting powered off from time to time. ;)
[10:52] <rustuptwist> yacc:  the net in this country is spotty at best. also since it is my sons laptop it will be powered off from time to time, yes
[10:52] <yacc> rustuptwist: Quassel is cool because if you have such place, I can IRC on my Tablet or my laptop, no matter if I'm home or not. => if not you can go with more "normal" IRC clients, e.g. X-Chat
[10:53] <Danato> cfhowlett: I dont know, but says Wi-fi Network Authentication Required. Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the WI-FI network 'SSID here'.
[10:54] <Danato> cfhowlett:  the problem is that it asks it frequently
[10:56] <rustuptwist> yacc:  what anti virus are you using, if any for ubuntu
[10:56] <yacc> rustuptwist: give me a minute, need to lookup this "anti virus" thing, wonder if Wikipedia has an article about this.
[10:57] <yacc> rustuptwist: well, to be truthful, I do install Adblock+ & Ghostery (for end users), for me I also add NoScript.
[10:58] <yacc> But I guess these are not exactly "anti virus" products.
[11:00] <yacc> Basically for myself I really on my common sense, and despite what the Windows Anti Virus vendors tell, "common sense" what you do works for Windows too (to my huge surprise my wife managed a WinXP install for over 3 years without any antivir software, and when I checked it with multiple scanners, it had no malware)
[11:01] <yacc> rustuptwist: so for Ubuntu, "anti virus" software is something that one might use if one serves files for Windows PCs.
[11:04] <XHEART24> hi everyone.
[11:05] <XHEART24> How can i install adobe flash with ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> XHEART24: yes
[11:09] <XHEART24> it seems to be installed but when i visit a webpage it asks to have it installed
[11:15] <lesshaste> in launchpad, how do you find the bugs you have submitted?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> X-Seti: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> gone
[11:21] <glitsj16> lesshaste: login at launchpad and follow the 'Bugs' link on your user page
[11:22] <lesshaste> glitsj16, I am on the bugs page. Where does it say "my bugs" or something similar?
[11:22] <yacc> XHEART24: some browsers have been known to disable flash if they find a version of the plugin that they consider unsafe.
[11:23] <lesshaste> glitsj16, oh.. "reported bugs" .. I didn't realise that meant bugs reported by my!
[11:23] <lesshaste> me
[11:23] <glitsj16> lesshaste: it's at https://launchpad.net yes, those list submitted bugs and bugs you subscribed too
[11:24] <lesshaste> glitsj16, thanks
[11:24] <glitsj16> lesshaste: no trouble
[11:24] <lesshaste> is this a good place to talk about bugs in scratch?
[11:25] <BeyondXY> Hey guys. How can I burn a dvd over SSH? I get the error message: "wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits."
[11:26] <interweb> How do I can select the best server using command line on ubuntu ?
[11:26] <BeyondXY> Has anybody a clue?
[11:27] <yacc> BeyondXY: permissions.
[11:27] <lesshaste> BeyondXY, you mean you have ssh'ed into a remote machine with a dvd burner?
[11:28] <yacc> BeyondXY: basically, does the logged in user access to the DVD burner?
[11:28] <glitsj16> lesshaste: i think so yes, don't know if there's a specific channel for ubuntu bugs
[11:28] <BeyondXY> lesshaste: yes
[11:28] <lesshaste> Internet13, best server for what?
[11:28] <lesshaste> BeyondXY, then exactly as you would do on your own machine
[11:28] <yacc> BeyondXY: the memlimit thing is a warning that it's not running as root, so it cannot reserve itself all the high priority resources.
[11:28] <zetheroo> If I remove from a server the disks which make up the md1 raid, is that raids config still somewhere in the system? If so how do I erase all traces of that raid array?
[11:28] <BeyondXY> How can I fix that problem?
[11:29] <yacc> lesshaste: a ssh-ed in user probably has no default access to the DVD burner.
[11:29] <lesshaste> how do I find out who is maintaining a specific package (scratch) for ubuntu?
[11:29] <lesshaste> yacc, won't he/she just be whatever user they logged in as?
[11:29] <BeyondXY> How can I find out whether I have the rights to access the DVD-drive?
[11:30] <lesshaste> BeyondXY, what permissions does /path/to/device have?
[11:31] <BeyondXY> lesshaste: All rights 777
[11:32] <lesshaste> BeyondXY, which tool are you using?
[11:33] <BeyondXY> lesshaste: wodim
[11:36] <glitsj16> lesshaste: looks like there are 2 projects on launchpad offering scratch .. https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=scratch&x=0&y=0
[11:37] <lesshaste> glitsj16, https://launchpad.net/~scratch is the one I think
[11:37] <glitsj16> lesshaste: the programming language for young kids, looks nice
[11:38] <BeyondXY> So has noone an idea?
[11:39] <WebbyIT> Hi all! If I try to use valgrind function profiler from ubuntu sdk I have the follow error:
[11:39] <WebbyIT> Error: "/usr/bin/valgrind" could not be started: No private key file given.
[11:39] <WebbyIT> What can I do?
[11:40] <Wiz_KeeD> Has anyone here ever used a hdd-caddy?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Wiz_KeeD: i have
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> BeyondXY: is the DVD drive mounted?
[11:41] <Wiz_KeeD> ActionParsnip, maybe you can help me out with a few things.First off I installed just windows on the hardware in the caddy and it does not see the second partition where as in the regular slot it did
[11:41] <Wiz_KeeD> Also once every X boot-ups it cannot see the hard-drive only when I reboot it does and loads up windows
[11:41] <Wiz_KeeD> What is the source of this unusual behavior?
[11:41] <damascene> j
[11:42] <BeyondXY> No it's not mounted
[11:44] <Wiz_KeeD> Any ideas ActionParsnip ?
[11:45] <BeyondXY> So what do I have to do?
[11:45] <ikonia> Wiz_KeeD: I think ou need to be a bit clearer
[11:45] <ikonia> Wiz_KeeD: you have a standard external disk caddy with a disk in it, containing windows, correct ?
[11:45] <ubuntu> XD
[11:45] <ubuntu> hallo
[11:46] <ubuntu> anybody here
[11:46] <ikonia> Guest66922: many people are here
[11:46] <Wiz_KeeD> ikonia, I have removed my primary Toshiba 5200rpm hard-drive that HAD windows on it, partitioned and working with no issues.I have removed the hard-drive from the primary bay and inserted it in the hdd-caddy
[11:46] <ikonia> Wiz_KeeD: ok....continue, where is the problem
[11:46] <Wiz_KeeD> When I first booted it automatically entered bios without me doing anything and nothing showed up on the boot order, when saving and exit was done, hdd was found and windows booted
[11:47] <Wiz_KeeD> I thought it was because I installed it in the bay and used hte other one but the same thing seems to happen an I cannot see the second partition I made
[11:47] <ikonia> Wiz_KeeD: how is this an ubuntu problem ?
[11:47] <Wiz_KeeD> Before format and after format
[11:47] <Wiz_KeeD> I asked about hdd-caddy issues to be specific, I plan on using it for ubuntu and installing it on ssd and have this as backup but...
[11:48] <ikonia> Wiz_KeeD: ok, so this is nothing to do with ubuntu, so nothing to do with this channel
[11:48] <Wiz_KeeD> right
[11:49] <k1l> !away | dhruvasagar
[11:49] <dhruvasagar> k1l: what message ?
[11:50] <k1l> dhruvasagar: your nick changes every time you go away. that is disturbing the channels and makes the channel more confusing to beginners
[11:50] <k1l> see the bots message
[11:50] <dhruvasagar> k1l: ok i'll disable it

[12:02] <MarkDavies> Hi. I saw that the following processes were run on my system: dpkg-query and sth like update-xapi. I don't have the faintest idea why they were run, because I hadn't been asking dpkg for anything, nor wanted I to update anything. They literally devoured my processor and memory resources. Should I be afraid of something?
[12:03] <k1l> ju please go to #ubuntu-br for portuguese
[12:04] <ju> mas como?
[12:04] <MarkDavies> oh, and right now I have problems with my network

[12:11] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: can you ping your router's internal IP?
[12:11] <MarkDavies> right now I've observed that in fact I can browse pages, but the network traffic is a kind of blocked. For example, I can load a page writing its name directly when running links, but then browsers don't work or work slowly.

[12:14] <[Gentoo]> MarkDavies: is it just 1 browser you're trying?
[12:14] <interweb> MarkDavies, Could you check your proxy settings ?
 two. links and firefox. Similar problems
[12:14] <[Gentoo]> ok
[12:14] <MarkDavies> interweb: what exactly am I supposed to do?
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: is this a wired, or a wireless connection?
[12:15] <[Gentoo]> MarkDavies: reset the modem and router, reboot, just to rule all that out
[12:15] <Guest49399> hello?
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> hi Guest49399
 I'm sure that after reboot it will work. It's always like that. But I'd like to know what causes the problems.
[12:15] <MarkDavies> ActionParsnip: wireless
[12:15] <[Gentoo]> ah ok
[12:15] <Guest49399> For lubuntu, what command does it use to launch the gui after logging in.
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> MarkDavies: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|chan'     do you see many networks on the same channel
[12:16] <ju> alguém sabe se é possível postar foto?
[12:16] <[Gentoo]> MarkDavies: so it always works again if you reboot your pc but dont touch the modem / router yes?
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> Guest49399: startlubuntu
[12:16] <interweb> MarkDavies, Open Dash and search for proxy and open the software then go to Network proxy , What method is chosen ?
 : exactly
[12:16] <Guest49399> I tried lxsession, but it failed to have the right background image, and also had the wrong bottom bar.
[12:16] <[Gentoo]> MarkDavies: ah wireless,
[12:16] <Guest49399> ActionParsnip I will try that.
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> Guest49399: if you use a DM, you don't need to worry
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> Guest49399: just type 'start' then hit TAB a few timesd
[12:17] <Guest49399> what is lubuntu's default dm?
[12:17] <darkland> ok
[12:17] <cfhowlett> Guest49399, desktop environment is lxd3
[12:17] <cfhowlett> lxd3
[12:18] <Guest49399> okay
[12:18] <MarkDavies> ActionParsnip: no, there are on different channels; it also displayed information that "Interface doesn't support scanning".
[12:18] <cfhowlett> lxde  - digital tourette's - sorry
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> Guest49399: Lubuntu still uses Lightdm
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> cfhowlett: thats the DE, not the DM :)
[12:18] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip, d'0h!
[12:18] <Guest49399> okay
[12:18] <interweb> MarkDavies, Did you tried What I said ?
[12:18] <darkland> how fund?
[12:18] <MarkDavies> interweb: To check proxy settings?
[12:18] <interweb> MarkDavies, yup
[12:19] <interweb> MarkDavies, Open Dash and search for proxy and open the software then go to Network proxy , What method is chosen ?
[12:19] <yacc> MarkDavies: ifconfig wlan0 => what's your MTU?
[12:19] <Guest49399> ActionParsnip so lightdm would work over ssh?
[12:19] <MarkDavies> interweb: what's Open Dash?
[12:19] <darkland> who can help me get pass slq of site by slqmap?
[12:19] <interweb> MarkDavies, Do you use unity ?
[12:19] <Guest49399> I got to go.
[12:19] <MarkDavies> inconfig wlan0: wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Guest49399: it can but why do you wnat the GUI?
[12:20] <MarkDavies> interweb: no, I use KDE
[12:20] <MarkDavies> brb
[12:20] <yacc> MarkDavies: leave of the wlan0, than it shows all network devices

[12:23] <martinrame> hi, I'm writing this from the tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) because my Xubuntu 12.04 suddenly stopped accepting keyboard input, does anyone know what can I do without rebooting?
[12:24] <yacc> service lightdm restart
[12:24] <ju> /home/ju/Imagens/images.jpeg
[12:24] <martinrame> yacc: but this will close all my running programs?
[12:24] <yacc> martinrame: that should restart your GUI, throwing you into the login prompt.
[12:25] <yacc> martinrame: yes
[12:25] <martinrame> yacc: any other way? I'm running a long process in a VirtualBox guest machine.
[12:26] <yacc> martinrame: well, you might be able to suspend the VM via the VBoxManage command, ...
[12:26] <yacc> martinrame: if it's suspended, kill VBox won't especially hurt you.
[12:27] <ikonia> martinrame: you're not on a lenovo or toshiba laptop are you ?
[12:27] <martinrame> ikonia: yes! a toshiba
[12:28] <martinrame> ikonia: any hint?
[12:28] <martinrame> ikonia: btw, the mouse is working.
[12:28] <ikonia> martinrame: there is a known bug with the touchpad on some lenovo/toshiba that causes Xorg to hang ,
[12:29] <ikonia> or xorg's input
[12:29] <ikonia> (to be clear)
[12:29] <ikonia> it's well known
[12:30] <martinrame> ikonia: but I still can use the mouse and open/close windows, only the keyboard is not working. And I'm using an USB mouse, not the touchpad.
[12:30] <MarkDavies> hm, ifconfig for eth1 has given (among others): RX packets:5521 errors:6
[12:33] <MarkDavies> hm, and right now a really strange thing: I'm trying to connect to google with firefox and so far it fails, but links worked finely.

[12:43] <fredericabdou> hey
[12:43] <cjae> I have a freshish install, I saw a website that instructed you on how to set some options on adobe flash to make it bit more secure. Anyone know what that web page is? since I cannot seem to find it anymore
[12:44] <ikonia> I don't believe you can "secure" flash
[12:44] <ikonia> less so on linux as it's basically a hack to get it working at all
[12:45] <fredericabdou> what's the best ide for web development ?
[12:45] <jbroome> vi
[12:45] <somsip> !best | fredericabdou
[12:45] <ikonia> nice jbroome
[12:46] <cjae> ikonia: is a walkthrough using adobes settings manager I believe
[12:46] <ikonia> cjae: I believe it won't be worth while

[13:16] <the_drow> Hi guys I'm trying to import the python bindings of quickfix (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quickfix) and I'm getting the following traceback: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6802850/ I run into this post on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15977813/how-to-correct-a-compile-build-issue-with-quickfix-v1-13-3-with-python-support#answer-17864531) but that guy built it manually. I checked. _quickfix.so is present at /usr
[13:16] <the_drow> So it should be importable. Am I missing something here?
[13:16] <Xeo`> any idea as to what may be preventing me from being able to connect to my server through SSH?
[13:16] <the_drow> Is there something wrong with the packaging?
[13:19] <ikonia> Xeo`: firewall, ssh not running, wrong auth, long list of things
[13:20] <dns53> firewall?
[13:20] <ikonia> yes, a firewall
[13:21] <m_fulder> hello! I would like to copy a folder containing a lot of links into a new folder and change all the links files/folders by adding a new folder in the path. Is this possible?
[13:21] <xerror> i installed 12.04.4 daily build right now, running smooth like silk (-: is there any kind of test-suite i should do, or |grep all logs for EE or something ? or is it as good as it looks ?
[13:22] <ikonia> why bother ?
[13:22] <ikonia> xerror: what is the point of doing anything like that if you don't know how to validate it
[13:22] <xerror> ikonia: strange point of view. learning to validate it, maybe ??
[13:23] <ikonia> xerror: but you're not, you're just saying "what do I do"
[13:23] <xerror> ikonia: sorry i dont understand you
[13:23] <ikonia> don't worry about it, my apologies
[13:23] <bootnone> ikonia, after booting from live cd (11.10) it suddenly works again, after restarting it booted from hd. do you have any idea fro troubeleshooting for the future? sometimes i have to wait an hour with plugged-out computer, sometimes longer till i can boot. sometimes, just open the Bios and restart and it works....
[13:23] <xerror> ikonia: all good, no problem (-:
[13:24] <cfhowlett> xerror, there's a RedHat package called "troublemaker" which simulates all kinds of scenarios.  I'm unaware if there's an equivalent ubuntu/debian package
[13:24] <ikonia> bootnone: no idea.
[13:24] <cfhowlett> xerror, http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net/
[13:24] <bootnone> ikonia, thx, do you know where i might get support
[13:24] <xerror> cfhowlett: thank very much, im gonna dig into that
[13:24] <ikonia> bootnone: your hardware vendor ?
[13:25] <ikonia> xerror: I don't think that will help you as it's for redhat based distros only (I think)
[13:25] <xerror> ikonia: please dont bother about me, im fine :-)
[13:26] <bootnone> ikonia, old pc, used to be a company's. do you think an fs check might help maybe there are bad sectors? that is my idea.
[13:26] <ikonia> bootnone: not really no
[13:26] <bootnone> ok, any suggestions for googleing ikonia?
[13:26] <ikonia> no
[13:26] <IdleOne> xerror: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam

[13:41] <serpeverde> ciao
[13:44] <Ilmen> Hello
[13:45] <Ilmen> I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 (Unity Desktop), and when I try to do a research in a document with GEdit's search bar, as soon as I'm pressing the AltGr key (for typing a special character such as "@"), the search bar dissapear, just as I pressed Alt. Why does it behave so? Is this a problem of my kb layout or is there some nasty shortcut using the AltGr key alone?
[13:45] <Ilmen> (In Unity's HUB shortcut list I only saw an Alt-alone shortcut, and none related to AltGr)

[13:59] <ih1gps> hello anyone
[14:01]  * yacc wonders why Ubuntu by default does not install inside a LVM?
[14:03] <ih1gps> this is my problem: I reached the goal to install xubuntu on an old laptop, I used the nolapic option to install it. now at the boot I got a black screen, the grub version is the 1.99 may I have some help to find a solution?
[14:04] <interweb> How do I can use psiphon on ubuntu ?
[14:06] <rustuptwist> cfhowlett: how do i mount the windows partition
[14:07] <rustuptwist> or anyone. how do i mount the windows partition in order to get files off of it and then delete (or ignore it for eternity)
[14:08] <yacc> rustuptwist: just a guess, the file manager should have the thing somewhere on the left side, ...
[14:09] <yacc> rustuptwist: I'm a little bit on the rustic side, you can always mount the stuff via a mount command in a terminal, potentially with a sudo in front of the mount :)
[14:10] <rustuptwist> brb
[14:13] <enforcement> Hi everyone. How can I add some command to be launched before terminal starts? Currently I have to run it manually on each opened console...
[14:15] <yacc> enforcement: .bashrc
[14:15] <yacc> enforcement: .profile
[14:15] <yacc> enforcement: that would be kind of the relevant files.
[14:16] <adac> guys, is there a shortcut for to bring a window in full screen and vice versa?
[14:17] <enforcement> yacc: Thanks

[14:27] <pi-> I'm running an Ubuntu 12.x Amazon EC2 cloud computer instance, and it isn't finding that package
[14:27] <ni379914> doesnt work i use exact command
[14:27] <ikonia> you didn't
[14:27] <pi-> How do I go about fixing it?
[14:27] <ni379914> its a mirror issue i think man
[14:28] <ikonia> you said "openssh server" ealier
[14:28] <ikonia> that's why I'm asking for the exact command
[14:28] <ni379914> on iphone
[14:28] <ni379914> i put the -
[14:28] <ikonia> you said you're on an iphone
[14:28] <swimmer> hi guys - starting to work with ubuntu server 13.04 since that's what comes with my new vps ;-)
[14:28] <ni379914> cant copy paste from pc
[14:28] <somsip> pi-: apt-get update first. And make sure all of the local AWS repos are setup correctly in /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:28] <swimmer> I'm wondering why there's still some logging even though there's no syslog daemon installed?
[14:28] <k1l> swimmer: 13.04 loses support end of january. dont do that
[14:29] <k1l> swimmer: choose 12.04 or 13.10
[14:29] <mistawright> pi-, libblacs-mpi-dev - Basic Linear Algebra Comm. Subprograms - Dev. files for MPI
[14:29] <mistawright> libblacs-mpi1 - Basic Linear Algebra Comm. Subprograms - Shared libs. for MPI
[14:29] <yogeshsarwate> Hi
[14:29] <swimmer> k1l: no choice possible
[14:29] <mistawright> pi-, those are the results for apt-cache search libblacs for me. what do you see
[14:29] <ni379914> sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[14:29] <swimmer> k1l: I'll put that on my list of questions for the hoster ;-)
[14:30] <k1l> swimmer: ok :)
[14:30] <ikonia> ni379914: I suggest doing this when you are not on an iphone and we can share data easy
[14:30] <ni379914> im also on pc
[14:31] <pi-> mistawright: I get exactly the same!
[14:31] <swimmer> k1l: but you have an answer to my question as well? ;-)
[14:31] <pi-> I did run 'apt-get update' before doing any of this
[14:31] <ni379914> apt-get update also doesnt work
[14:31]  * swimmer is not intending to be rude
[14:31] <ni379914> failed to fetch...etx
[14:31] <ni379914> etc
[14:31] <somsip> pi-: try apt-get install libblacs-mpi-dev (not mpi1-dev) then - per mistawright
[14:31] <mistawright> pi-, you tried installing this package libblacs-mpi1-dev which is not available. libblacs-mpi-dev
[14:32] <ni379914> gpg error
[14:32] <pi-> oh! thanks!

[14:33] <CM-bot> hi everyone
[14:33] <chr0meice> hey this is the person with the ubuntu open-ssh issue
[14:34] <chr0meice> using IRC webapp easier to type now
[14:34] <k1l> swimmer: what logging do you mean in detail?
[14:34] <chr0meice> after running apt-get update.... A error occured during the signature verification
[14:35] <gregf_> hi, i needed to install an older version of php and its associated packages
[14:35] <chr0meice> the repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used
[14:35] <chr0meice> GPG error
[14:35] <gobbone1992> !list
[14:35] <somsip> gregf_: oh now that's an ugly idea. Why would you need to do that? A VM may be *much* easier
[14:36] <gregf_> i've installed php 5.3.17 from source
[14:36] <gregf_> now sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9, does'nt work :/
[14:36] <somsip> gregf_: what version of ubuntu?
[14:36] <gregf_> somsip: well is it an ugly idea? :/
[14:36] <swimmer> k1l: well there are a bunch of files in /var/log/ and I also see an /etc/syslog.conf
[14:36] <somsip> gregf_: oh yes
[14:37] <swimmer> k1l: not sure which packages is using/creating them though
[14:37] <X-Seti> back, new HD in hand. :)
[14:37] <gregf_> somsip: 12:10 :/
[14:38] <gordonjcp> gregf_: why 5.3.17?
[14:38] <gordonjcp> gregf_: it's not even the most recent 5.3?
[14:38] <gregf_> i had installed the latest version of php together with (5.4.6 that is) xdebug/php5_msql/libapache2-mod-php5
[14:39] <gregf_> but the mysql pdo driver does'nt work well :/
[14:39] <gregf_> so i had_to go back to 5.3.*
[14:40] <gregf_> now i need to install all of those packages , but the command line does not work :/
[14:40] <gregf_> i've had to install php5.3.17 from source :/
[14:40] <somsip> gregf_: you'll have caused some mayhem by installing from source. I wouldn't know where to advise you to start to fix it. But if you do need very alternative versions of packages like this, much better to upgrade to a version that comes with an official package you need
[14:40] <gregf_> somsip: yeah , i tried to upgrade
[14:40] <gregf_> but this fails:
[14:41] <chr0meice> apt-get update fails... here is the exact error  http://postimg.org/image/l9i2iqrvt/c26cf409/
[14:41] <chr0meice> why is this happening?
[14:41] <gregf_> sudo apt-get install php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 php5-cli=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 php5-common=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9 libapache2-mod-php5=5.3.10-1ubuntu3.9
[14:41] <gregf_> s/10/17/
[14:42] <somsip> gregf_: I expect apt-get doesn't like the fact that the manually compiled 5.3.17 has stomped it's footprint all over the place. Figure out a way to get that off first, I think
[14:42] <gregf_> now i want to have 2 versions of php(5.4.* and 5.3.*). and i know its possible to have both :/ iirc
[14:42] <gregf_> oh
[14:42] <somsip> gregf_: look into it again.  Is that the desktop install?
[14:43] <chr0meice> yes
[14:43] <chr0meice> ubuntu-10.04.4-server-i386.iso
[14:44] <somsip> gregf_: you said 'IIRC' I don't believe this is correct
[14:44] <chr0meice> i use this image all the time and never once got this error
[14:44] <somsip> chr0meice: so not desktop. But server?
[14:44] <chr0meice> server yeah
[14:44] <chr0meice> sorry mean server
