[15:11] <juicyccleff> no audio at all
[15:11] <doomlord_> i have another desktop i can try creating the startup disk on
[15:11] <juicyccleff> i've checked if identifies the soundcard and it does.
[15:11] <netameta__> cfhowlett, will i dont know really how to even get the whole package out really , i mean when you install it, doesnt it usually put files in registry like windows ?
[15:11] <netameta__> well*
[15:12] <netameta__> what i mean is, lets say php5 packages, if i simply zip the entier folder and copy it to the other server - that will not do right ?
[15:13] <cfhowlett> netameta__, not really.  I'm going to have to pass though as I'm not qualified to give a meaningful explanation
[15:13] <jamesd> netameta__: what is wrong with  apt-get install  php5 and friends
[15:13] <juicyccleff> trying to purge, uninstall and install all modules but seem like the ubuntu script for doing it is different from the version of linux i'm familiar with any help
[15:13] <minimec> juicyccleff: So you had sound, and then it suddenly stopped, right? Can you open a terminal and open 'alsamixer'. Check your card settings. press 'm' for muted devices.
[15:14] <netameta__> jamesd, the issue is, on one server i followed a tutorial and download a certain package that has other stuff. (i cannot find this tutorial) on the second server i followed a different tutorial which doesnt have all the needed stuff
[15:15] <netameta__> jamesd, and since i am not sure what is installed on the first server(which workd great) i thought maybe i could duplicate it.
[15:15] <jamesd> icate it. [15:15] [jamesd(+i)] [19:#ubuntu(+CLcfjntz)] [Act: 1,2,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13,15,16,18,20,21,26,27,29,30,31]

[15:16] <jamesd> juicyccleff: google  dpkg list all packages, and save to a file compare the output on both machines
[15:16] <juicyccleff> k mini i think i did that before and turned out not mute. buh leme try again
[15:17] <juicyccleff> k #jamesd lemme try that out

[15:20] <curiousguy13> hello everyone, i have just installed gtk+ on ubuntu 13.10 but when i run a program , it says failed to load module "overlay scrollbar"(even though overlay scrollbar is already installed). can anyone help?
[15:21] <gregorslo> One question ..is it going to be ok if I just change sources.list with 14.04 and do apt-get update , upgrade ?
[15:21] <gregorslo> to get 14.04
[15:21] <gregorslo> i remember i did that few years ago
[15:21] <juicyccleff> i can get sounds from my alsamixer which shows it recognizes the sound card but all other media just dont play
[15:22] <tsimpson> gregorslo: no, that's very much not going to be ok. if you want to do a release upgrade from the command line use the "do-release-upgrade" command
[15:23] <gregorslo> tsimpson, what can happen ? :D
[15:23] <gregorslo> worst case scenario ?
[15:23] <gregorslo> :D
[15:23] <tsimpson> gregorslo: you can break the system so it requires a reinstall
[15:24] <gregorslo> Hmm that's bad I better run and get a external disk then :D
[15:24] <gregorslo> thanks for answer tsimpson
[15:24] <gregorslo> I remember few years ago this method worked  :D
[15:25] <gregorslo> problem is that ppa-s already broke my system :D
[15:28] <ljsoftnet> where can i get Dina font? and install it
[15:29] <tmwsiy_> is there an easy way to have iscsi start before it tries to mount an iscsi volume?
[15:30] <tmwsiy_> I have a drobo connected via iscsi and whenever it reboots it says the volume is not ready and then the next message after I hit S to skip is "starting iscsi devies"
[15:30] <emwav> has anyone seen in ubuntu 13.10 where the power-off button only provides an option to wait for 60 seconds?
[15:30] <emwav> i have been through google & forums and can't find an answer. i've attempted to reset gnome3 back to default, removed .gnome* folders, etc
[15:31] <emwav> same for the logoff option
[15:32] <Keanu73> !offtopic
[15:34] <netameta__> anyone knows if there's a way to copy/duplicate a package to another server ? for example php5, will simply copying the whole folder be enough ?
[15:35] <tmwsiy_> netameta_: use a deb package?
[15:35] <netameta__> deb package ?
[15:35] <Keanu73> !guidelines
[15:36] <tmwsiy_> netameta_: ubuntu ditributes its software packages in a file with a .deb extension. The preferred method would be to use the package manager apt-get
[15:36] <filipo> hi guys, i need a big help.. can somebody help me please ? i am installing ubuntu from 9 AM, and I cant do it :(
[15:36] <Keanu73> filipo: virtual machine or computer
[15:36] <filipo> computer
[15:37] <Keanu73> okay
[15:37] <filipo> i have that problem, that I  have DELL INSPIRON 7720 where are 2x SATA 750GB and 1x mSATA 32GB
[15:37] <Keanu73> hmm
[15:37] <filipo> but GRUB wont install
[15:37] <Keanu73> grub?
[15:37] <Keanu73> hmm...
[15:37] <filipo> because on HDD is GPT
[15:37] <Keanu73> maybe reinstall?
[15:37] <filipo> i reinstalled it 5x today
[15:37] <Keanu73> ah..
[15:37] <filipo> ubuntu install show error grub
[15:37] <Keanu73> hmm..
[15:38] <Keanu73> oh well
[15:38] <Keanu73> I can't help you, i'm afraid
[15:38] <Keanu73> better buy a new PC
[15:38] <filipo> haha, i had there ubuntu
[15:39] <cfhowlett> filipo, reinstalling won't change gpt to mbr ...
[15:39] <tmwsiy_> Keanu73: Did you try to turn off ufi? its usually called "Legacy Mode" in the BIOS
[15:39] <tmwsiy_> err filipo
[15:40] <tmwsiy_> secure boot its sometiems called as well
[15:40] <Keanu73> hmm
[15:40] <Keanu73> I'm not a BIOS expert..
[15:40] <cfhowlett> !uefi
[15:41] <Keanu73> :o
[15:41] <tmwsiy_> LOL one day they are going to take away legacy mode I am going to actually have to deal with uefi crap! :P
[15:43] <DBoyz> One question, how do I use grep to search a string that has postfixes? for example string is "hello" and i want "hello1" and etc. to appear in the result
[15:44] <tmwsiy_> DBoyz: use a regular expression
[15:44] <tmwsiy_> or maybe even blob
[15:45] <Noah_AT> Hi guys, I have bad sectors on my old HDD. it is 120GB and I am trying to turn it into an Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS server primarily for minecraft. I only need like 10GB of the 120 to do this. How can I quarantine my bad sectors and continue using the healthy parts of the HDD?
[15:45] <tmwsiy_> so like $ cat file | grep 'hello*'
[15:45] <DBoyz> i'm not familiar with regular expression. will "hello*" work?
[15:46] <tmwsiy_> blobs sound lie they would work for this case
[15:46] <bekks> Noah_AT: Dont do that, your disk is about to die entirely.
[15:46] <tmwsiy_> so yes
[15:48] <mdh> Noah_AT: there is a chance your disk will fail entirely, but if you really want to do this I think badblocks is what you're looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badblocks
[15:48] <tmwsiy_> Noah_AT: its not free but spinrite is one of the best things since sliced bread for spindle drives that aren't clicking
[15:49] <Noah_AT> mdh: and beaks: I've heard that about the disk possibly dying entirely, but sometimes they can last from 6 months to two years. This laptop is on its last legs anyways and I don't mind riding the HDD to the ground.
[15:50] <DBoyz> nope doesn't seem to work
[15:50] <evdeki> hi, will ubuntu gnome 14-04 come with gnome shell 3.10 or will have the latest shell if it's out by the time of the Ubuntu's release?
[15:50] <Noah_AT> Mdh: Like i said, all I've got to lose are some Minecraft files lol
[15:50] <tmwsiy_> DBoyz: need more input to help
[15:51] <sudormrf> lol nothing like working hard on a script to find that there is already a program that does what you want for you
[15:52] <Noah_AT> tmwsiy_: Even if I got that, what would it do to help? Would I boot it from a live CD? I'd like to learn how to remedy this issue from linux via ubuntu or gparted
[15:53] <DBoyz> tmwsiy_: i'm trying to grep a string for example "hello" and i want words like "hello1" and "hello2" to appear in my result
[15:53] <jamesd> DBoyz: grep hello file(s)
[15:53] <tmwsiy_> Noah_AT: it just does a more through job of trying to get data off problem sectors... I believe that fsck will unmap bad blocks too
[15:54] <DBoyz> i'm interested in grep-ing a directory though
[15:54] <tmwsiy_> DBoyz: I understand taht but how are you consuming the string? is it a file? from a socket connection?
[15:54] <tmwsiy_> grep will only match lines as well so if you have multiple hello's on the same line it will only show it once
[15:55] <tmwsiy_> without knowing what you are trying to do it is almost impossible to help\
[15:55] <jamesd> DBoyz: ls -l | grep helllo
[15:55] <Noah_AT> tmwsiy_: well more good news (particularly for my wallet) is that I don't need to recover anything from the HDD I just need to take it to a usable state
[15:56] <DBoyz> well i have multiple text files in a directory. i would like to search for a particular string in these file, example "hello".
[15:56] <DBoyz> i would like to have strings such as "hello1" and "hello2" to appear in my search result too
[15:57] <jamesd> DBoyz: grep hello file1 file2 file3   or  file*
[15:57] <tmwsiy_> well if they are all in the same directory you can do something like this:
[15:57] <tmwsiy_> $grep 'hello*' *.txt
[15:58] <tmwsiy_> Noah_AT: fsck should do what you are after
[15:58] <DBoyz> ah
[15:58] <DBoyz> thanks, that worked, tmwsiy_
[15:59] <yeik> does anybody know, if you have a process running under an encrypted user account, when you disconnect sessions but still have the process running, what happens to the mounted folder?
[16:00] <bekks> yeik: It remains mounted until the user is logged out / the last user process is terminated.
[16:00] <tmwsiy_> DBoyz: np happy to help
[16:00] <yeik> bekks, that is what i thought, so why is ssh showing that it cant read the authorized key file unless i have a session open?
[16:00] <c0p3rn1c> my idiot brother quick formatted my laptop to ntfs, what are the chances of restoring my linux filesystem?
[16:01] <cfhowlett> c0p3rn1c, reinstall
[16:01] <yeik> c0p3rn1c,  if you haven't done anything else with it, you might be able to use testdisk to restore the old partition information.
[16:01] <c0p3rn1c> ok nice
[16:01] <bekks> yeik: Then the process you assumed to be running isnt running anymore.
[16:02] <yeik> bekks, it is a screen process with several other processes running in it. i am sure they are all running.
[16:06] <Noah_AT> tmwsiy_: problem is, yesterday I ran "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" from inside my ubuntu-server installation. Now I can't even boot from CD. I'm getting an error "No boot sector on internal hard drive"
[16:07] <bekks> Noah_AT: Then it isnt even tryin to boot from a cd.
[16:07] <Noah_AT> bekks: over to the BIOS then?
[16:08] <tmwsiy_> Noah_AT: if you did that then you are likely hosed brother
[16:08] <tmwsiy_> Noah_AT: its just tryong to boot the hard drive first. usually there is F key that will take you to a boot menu even if you can't get the bios
[16:09] <Noah_AT> tmwsiy_: Alright! Booting live fedora 16 atm. I figure I can use the GUI and disk utility to give me some reports on the drive
[16:10] <tmwsiy_> Noah_AT good plan
[16:11] <bekks> Noah_AT: you dont need any reports, you need to boot an install CD.
[16:11] <Noah_AT> bekks: for ubuntu?
[16:11] <bekks> Noah_AT: If you want to install Ubuntu, sure.
[16:11] <Noah_AT> bekks: How do I know the dd worked? Is that enough to fix my bad sectors issue?
[16:12] <anonygonzo> hey need some help with VM VirtualBox
[16:12] <bekks> Noah_AT: dd never fixed bad sector problems. You just killed everything on your laptop, but you did not fix anything at all.
[16:12] <high_fiver> Can anyone advise how to 'Restore EFI Backup' in boot-repair in the current version of the software?
[16:13] <anonygonzo> askubuntu will haev he answers and code you need surely? high_fiver
[16:13] <bekks> anonygonzo: How about asking your specific question? :)
[16:13] <Noah_AT> bekks: ha! great... - _ - not that I care about killing everything on my laptop.. but I guess thats a good place to start. Alright, you say to install, but when I do I'll be installing on bad sectors. Do I solve my bad sector issue from within the ubuntu installation?
[16:14] <basketball> hey bekks  when my laptop screen is by its self the resolution is on 1280 x 800 (16:10) and it doesnt need to be rotated but when i plug in a vga monitor it wants me to trotate it clockwise or counterclockwise
[16:14] <bekks> Noah_AT: You bad sector problem can be solved by replacing your harddrive.
[16:14] <bekks> basketball: And....?
[16:14] <high_fiver> anonygonzo: erm nope
[16:14] <basketball> how do i fix it bekks
[16:14] <Noah_AT> bekks: of course, but I'm trying to avoid that and learn some strategies to manage bad sectors rather than jumping ship
[16:15] <bekks> Noah_AT: You cannot avoid it. You can learn to avoid the pain of losing everything on your laptop again. So replace the harddrive.
[16:15] <filipo> Hello, all. I want to install Ubuntu 13.10 on my Dell Inspiron 7720 (2x 750GB+1x mSATA 32GB). 19GB from SSD are used to accelerate Win8.1 and on other space  I want install Ubuntu, what is all good, but when installer want install GRUB loader, it stops and write, its failed. What I shall do, please?
[16:15] <anonygonzo> Im trying to run windows 7 through VMVB but everytime it loads i get error message about trrying to run 32bit when i only sees 24? where do i find he settings to change this error message.. Im using ubuntu 12.04.4
[16:15] <bekks> anonygonzo: Whats "VMVB"?
[16:16] <compdoc> Noah_AT, if smart shows reallocated sectors and pending sectors, you need to jump ship
[16:16] <anonygonzo> excuse typing he 'T' is broken on his keyboard.. VM VirtualBox?
[16:16] <bekks> compdoc: Let the captain go, with his ship sinking. :P
[16:16] <Noah_AT> compdoc: thanks. What would it show if I can still navigate the dangerous reef?
[16:16] <bekks> anonygonzo: The product is named "Virtualbox" only ;)
[16:16] <anonygonzo> @bekks VM VirtualBox
[16:17] <bekks> anonygonzo: Just install the guest additions in your guest and ignore that error message.
[16:17] <anonygonzo> (y)
[16:17] <anonygonzo> lol simple
[16:17] <filipo> Hello, all.

What I shall do, please?
[16:17] <compdoc> hey, it was your metaphor - dont shoot the messenger
[16:18] <bekks> compdoc: Thats why I wrote the ":P"
[16:19] <Noah_AT> bekks: is there really no navigating the reef?
[16:21] <compdoc> Noah_AT, 1 or 2 reallocated sectors no new ones in year, the drive might be trustworthy. A few hundred reallocated sectors, and you data is at risk. Theres no stopping the growing numbers. the drive is dying
[16:24] <cfhowlett> Noah_AT, drives are cheap ... lost data isn't.
[16:25] <basketball> how do i find out what my native resolution is
[16:26] <bekks> Noah_AT: It is dead Jim, let it go.
[16:26] <minimec> filipo: I don't understand you configuration exactly. I guess you have a windows8 installation on one 750GB harddisk, and want ubuntu on the other. I would consider to choose the master boot sector of the HD you want ubuntu on as grub location. You can then switch the primary disk to boot from in the Bios.
[16:28] <skjones> in attempting to install ubuntu dual boot with win 7, i see it says "install ubuntu inside win7"  i was expecting it to say "beside win 7"  what does it mean by "inside win7"?
[16:29] <Noah_AT> bekks: alright, so I have an ace up my sleeve. I have an older hard drive that I replaced because it was too small 75GB. It's size is no problem for what I'm doing now. I'm going to go pick that up from the dark corner of the world it lives in. Once I have it, how do I check it for bad sectors?
[16:29] <cfhowlett> skjones, windows installer?
[16:30] <skjones> made usb stick from ubuntu
[16:31] <skjones> and it said it "would save all music, docs and files"  i didn't understand what that meant either
[16:31] <skjones> i'm used to ubuntu being a separate, stand-alone installation alongside windows
[16:31] <geb__> hi folks
[16:32] <zatan> Hey just would like to know a structure for files for examples if I download file wget http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/source/postgis-2.0.4.tar.gz what is the best directory to keep it ?
[16:32] <geb__> i would like to know how it is possible to change the default rights/mask for vfat mount in precise (i cannot use fstab). Could anybody help me ?
[16:33] <cfhowlett> skjones, "inside windows" is not the expected language.  pay close attention to your partitions.
[16:34] <skjones> cfhowlett, yeah, it wasn't what i was expecting, but that's the default selection, i backed out at that point
[16:34] <Guest91189> hi guys
[16:34] <maveas> How does server log as of 13.10? I'm setting up psad but there are no logs in /var/log/kern nor syslog nor messages
[16:35] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|skjones, double check your iso and proceed.
[16:37] <Guest91189> what's the problem with iso images?

[16:39] <bekks> Noah_AT: using smartctl
[16:40] <Guest91189> Noah_AT you have to specify the target device for your live cd
[16:41] <Guest91189> is it a desktop pc?
[16:41] <Noah_AT> Guest91189: laptop
[16:42] <Guest91189> 64 or 32 bit?
[16:47] <skjones> ubottu, my md5 checksum hash seems to match
[16:47] <shashank_> can someone help me on networking setup in ubuntu.!!
[16:47] <Noah_AT> Guest91189: 32 bit
[16:47] <tmwsiy_> shashank: what ya got?

[16:48] <GyroW> Hi, trying to make a bootable USB. Done everything, used the Universal USB program on windows. The PC I'm trying to install it on currently has no OS but it doesn't want to boot into the USB; any ideas?
[16:48] <cfhowlett> skjones, pay attention to your partitions and install.
[16:49] <linuxuu> how to install ubuntu and make it boot in EFI mode?
[16:49] <cfhowlett> !efi
[16:49] <shashank_> I am trying to setup DHCP server on my system..!!
[16:50] <shashank_> and every time I try to start networking and isc-dhcp-server, its not getting started
[16:50] <minimec> GyroW: You may have to enable that feature in the BIOS. Also you may have to change the boot order in the BIOS or choose 'boot options' at boot.
[16:50] <Guest91189> Noah_AT go to ubuntu website and download that for 32 bit version
[16:50] <shashank_> I get stop/waiting every time.!!
[16:50] <basketball> why wont my laptop let me select a resolion without rotating screen
[16:51] <netameta__> how do i revert make install ?
[16:51] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, If you wnt I can show you my interfaces; dhcpd.conf and other necessary files..!!
[16:51] <GyroW> minimec: Changed USB to the first boot option. What feature do I need to enable in the BIOS? Booting from USB?
[16:51] <minimec> netameta__: 'make uninstall' probably
[16:52] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, ???
[16:52] <linuxuu> cfhowlett: i tried that article and many other but none is working!
[16:52] <minimec> GyroW: Depends on the BIOS. Look in the direction you mentioned above 'boot from usb'
[16:52] <tmwsiy_> shashank: can you pastebin your  the relavent stuff from /etc/network/interfaces
[16:53] <minimec> GyroW: If you use the 'boot options' at boot. Would the usb stick show up as boot device? In that case, 'boot from usb' would be activated.
[16:54] <linuxuu> how to know if i'm booted in EFi mode?
[16:54] <Guest54067> exit
[16:55] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, http://pastebin.com/aVMj0EKu
[16:55] <tmwsiy_> shashank: and your dhcpd.conf
[16:56] <basketball> how do you set the video ram in bios
[16:56] <GyroW> It shows uo in the list but im unable to put it on top. When I try moving I get a beep. BIOS is phoenix
[16:56] <geb__> Anybody for my question: [17:32] <geb__> i would like to know how it is possible to change the default rights/mask for vfat mount in precise (i cannot use fstab). Could anybody help me ?
[16:56] <OerHeks> basketball, ask in ##hardware
[16:56] <geb__> thanks in advance
[16:56] <tmwsiy_> shashank: so the interface comes up but the dhcp server service does not start? Are there any errors in the syslog?
[16:56] <shashank_> http://pastebin.com/QQt0e6U2
[16:57] <shashank_> dhcpd.conf ^
[16:57] <shashank_> Yes in syslog I get the following : Not configured to listen on any interfaces!
[16:57] <tmwsiy_> shashank are you trying to pxe boot?
[16:57] <basketball> how do i find out what video chip i have and what main board
[16:58] <shashank_> No subnet declaration for eth0 (no IPv4 addresses).\
[16:58] <shashank_> yes.
[16:58] <tmwsiy_> basketball lspci
[16:59] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, yes I am trying to pxe-boot...
[17:00] <tmwsiy_> shashank: have you got an INTERFACES="eth0" in /etc/default/dhcp3-server
[17:01] <minimec> basketball: GPU: lspci | grep VGA ; Motherboard: sudo lshw
[17:02] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, i guess u are talking about /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
[17:02] <shashank_> and if that's the case, YES I have that in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server...
[17:03] <shashank_> and i do not have any file like /etc/default/dhcp3-server  ..!!
[17:03] <tmwsiy_> shashank: forgot you said isc that is what I am talking about
[17:04] <tmwsiy_> are there logs for the server in /etc or /var? That error message you cited seems like what I was pointing out
[17:05] <shashank_> the logs are in syslog.

[17:06] <Guest21357> re?
[17:06] <cfhowlett> !pae
[17:07] <tmwsiy_> shashank: Also, you have to assign a static ip to the interface that you will use for dhcp. If you will use eth0 for providing addresses in the 192.168.1.x subnet then you should assign for instance ip <IP_ADDRESS> to the eth0 interface using NetworkManager. Without this step you will get an error from dhcpd when starting the service.

[17:07] <tmwsiy_> that has to be it
[17:10] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, but I have assigned a static ip to my interface eth0 in my interfaces file.!!!
[17:10] <shashank_> no..!!
[17:11] <tmwsiy_> shashank: dude you sure are pissy with some stranger is just tyring to help
[17:12] <daftykins> Guest21357: still there?
[17:12] <Guest21357> daftykins: yes im still here.
[17:12] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, no dude.!!
[17:12] <shashank_> I am just asking!
[17:13] <daftykins> Guest21357: you'll want to try again downloading an i386 ISO and install from that to avoid the lack of PAE issue
[17:13] <guest4745757575> hi
[17:13] <cfhowlett> Guest21357, you DID download directly from ubuntu, right?
[17:13] <shashank_> I followed this link here : http://www.howtoforge.com/linux-basics-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu
[17:14] <daftykins> Guest21357: which version were you trying? i found talk of the long term support v12.04 release definitely being non-PAE in its' i386 edition
[17:14] <guest4745757575> im wondering about the new 14.04 release... where can i edit the encrypted installation? create a lvm choose encryption etc...
[17:14] <daftykins> !trusty | guest4745757575
[17:14] <Guest21357> daftykins: ok cool. I am running xubuntu 13.10 on my current system and am now attempting to install it via disk onto my said laptop.
[17:15] <guest4745757575> daftykins, well even with older not beta versions it is not possible it seems...
[17:15] <Left_Turn> !google
[17:15] <shashank_> tmwsiy_, thr dude!!
[17:15] <daftykins> guest4745757575: i somewhat doubt that, that's what the live environment is for
[17:16] <Bartosz_> hi
[17:16] <tmwsiy_> shashank: I guess you are using !!'s as ??'s ??
[17:17] <shashank_> yes, sorry.
[17:17] <Noah_AT> Hey guys, "badblocks -nv /dev/sda is writing a bunch of numbers. Are these bad blocks or just the ones it has checked?
[17:17] <guest4745757575> daftykins, live environement? I just want to create a encrypted lvm on one partition as i allways did...
[17:17] <Bartosz_> i have a problem with installing rails on my ubuntu. Always receive :"Could not found Gemfile", Can you help me?
[17:17] <shashank_> so any idea what more should I try??
[17:18] <tmwsiy_> shashank: I really don;t know, the errors you are describing sound like the dhcp server does not know which interface to listen for requests on
[17:18] <daftykins> guest4745757575: i'm sure there are tonnes of guides online. but like i say, if you're going to be doing it with trusty, #ubuntu+1 is where to talk. it doesn't matter what you think is common or not
[17:19] <basketball> when i go to make resolution 1200 x 800 why does it want me to rotate screen
[17:19] <shashank_> So, where else should I give static ip to eth0???
[17:19] <Guest21357> daftykins: so should I go to ubuntu.com and download the xubuntu 12.04 i386 version?
[17:20] <bgc> hi everybody i have a problem i have 12.04 lts and i download mailru cloud application but i cant run with which program i can run it?
[17:20] <daftykins> Guest21357: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[17:20] <daftykins> Guest21357: no you can try 13.10 32-bit
[17:21] <minimec> shashank_: That tutorial you followed is not working, if you have the normal Ubuntu installation. Instead go to 'network' -> 'edit connections', and set 'Method' to 'Manual' in 'IPv4 Settings'.
[17:23] <Bartosz_> ey
[17:23] <dextor__> hello i am runing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS behind the NAT on VM's . My problem is that, I am unable to download any package from apt-get  http://pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC kindly help me Thank you.
[17:23] <ubuntu-studio> l
[17:23] <ubuntu-studio> kkk
[17:25] <fa7ad> who here can help me with some dpkg problems
[17:25] <daftykins> just. ask.
[17:26] <dextor__> hello i am runing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS behind the NAT on VM's . My problem is that, I am unable to download any package from apt-get  http://pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC kindly help me Thank you.
[17:27] <daftykins> dextor__: are you 100% sure all online connectivity is good with that VM?
[17:28] <fa7ad> ok... i have all ton of .deb files. now i want to install only one package from this mess. but this package has a lot of dependencies. so if i run 'dpkg -i package*.deb' the dependencies dont get installed automatically. is this normal? if so, how can i install the depndencies as well. i dont want to all the packages just the one + its dependencies.
[17:29] <dextor__> daftykins: Yes. 100% Because I am sharing my information via freenode.webchat
[17:29] <dextor__> daftykins: Yes. 100% Because I am sharing my information via freenode.webchat, which is on VM.
[17:30] <jgoseph> fa7ad, dpkg -i somepackage.deb then apt-get -f install should install the dependancies I think
[17:30] <fa7ad> but the problem is i dont want to re download them
[17:31] <fa7ad> i already have them in the folder and my net is slow
[17:31] <shashank_> minimec, that too is not working..!!
[17:31] <shashank_> any more solution???
[17:31] <shashank_> any more solution???
[17:31] <minimec> fa7ad: Install 'gdebi' and do 'gdebi yourpackage.deb' That will resolv all dependencies.
[17:31] <fa7ad> ok will try
[17:32] <johan_> Hi! How do I make transmission the default program for opening magnet links in Firefox? I have googled the issue and there seem to be alot of people with issue with this.
[17:32] <minimec> shashank_: Di you enter the desired IP and Gateway in 'Adresses'? That should do...
[17:33] <fa7ad> didnt work with gdebi
[17:33] <fa7ad> gonna have to settle with apt-get -f install
[17:33] <xangua> johan_: when you select the magnet link and firefox ask you with what program to open it in a popup, select /urs/bin/transmission-gtk
[17:34] <minimec> fa7ad: Did it show the missing dependency? Personally I would not(!) 'apt-get -f install'.
[17:34] <fa7ad> it said broken cache
[17:34] <maveas> Where do rsyslog put log messages from iptables on 13.10?
[17:34] <fa7ad> but lucky for me most of the big files installed with dpkg
[17:35] <fa7ad> so only some 30 md to download
[17:35] <NBhosting> why is this spf record not valid http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=spf%3adatinggegevens.nl&run=toolpage
[17:35] <fa7ad> mb*
[17:35] <NBhosting> what channel is best to ask this, couldnt think of oen
[17:35] <minimec> fa7ad: Can you first 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' before using gdebi once?
[17:35] <fa7ad> already done that
[17:37] <toyimp> When I use the nVidia drivers all I get on TTY is a black screen. But when I use the x-server drivers it works wonderful and high resolution. Where can I look to get more info on fixing this? Been checking google all morning.
[17:37] <johan_> xangua, did that, cheers. But transmission still won't open. Any other idea?
[17:37] <xangua> johan_: can you open transmission?
[17:38] <xangua> or just doesn't open when you select the magnet file?
[17:38] <johan_> xangua, Yes sir. I have it open right now.
[17:38] <xangua> johan_: no idea, this is easy peasy for me
[17:38] <johan_> xangua, now it works! Thx =)
[17:38] <xangua> ooh ok
[17:39] <fa7ad> minimec, do u know any ppa for 'apt-fast' script?
[17:40] <csddesk> i've a synaptics touchpad with a small dimple that would allow me, in windows, to toggle the device on or off, which does not work in Ubuntu. Is there a program that will repeat back the event code of me trying to tap the dimple part to turn it off?
[17:40] <bekks> fa7ad: https://launchpad.net/~apt-fast/+archive/stable
[17:40] <minimec> fa7ad: Nope. Never used that software.
[17:41] <fa7ad> its kinda simple, it just downloads apt packages using axel instead of curl or wget
[17:41] <dextor__> hello i am runing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS behind the NAT on VM's . My problem is that, I am unable to download any package from apt-get  http://pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC kindly help me Thank you.
[17:42] <bekks> fa7ad: Thats not true. It doesnt use axel, it uses aria2.
[17:43] <bekks> fa7ad: Ancient versions did use axel, current version supports aria2 only.
[17:44] <fa7ad> anyways better than normal
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> dextor__  change NAT to bridged, in the VM's settings
[17:44] <fa7ad> last time i used it was ages ago
[17:44] <havires> screen caps turn up black when i press print http://imgur.com/a/DWels (anybody have a fix or know what's going on?)
[17:44] <fa7ad> then i couldnt find it anywhere
[17:45] <profligacy> Is it true that they will start charging DVC for using Ubuntu?
[17:45] <HiddenDjinn> i wonder, how does one use the console to set default applications like web browsers
[17:45] <fa7ad> hey guys found a solution to my old problem, http://askubuntu.com/questions/170348/how-to-make-my-own-local-repository good idea?
[17:45] <dextor__> MonkeyDust: I can't I am on  wln0 connection.
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> dextor__  NAT to bridged is the solution, find a way to achieve that
[17:47] <dextor__> MonkeyDust: I have try tht, but unable to connect to the internet, as my ISP provide singal IP for one account.
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> dextor__  with bridged, your VM get's an IP address from the router's range, not from the ISP
[17:49] <melt7777> i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, and once i chroot to the "new build" and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, or try apt-get purge whoopsie,  whoopsie breaks down the whole build, and i can't do anything further....

[17:56] <basketballl> hey Left_Turn
[17:56] <Left_Turn> hey basketballl
[17:56] <basketballl> why are you here

[17:57] <melt7777> iko, typically that is frowned upon in support chanels, although this one is a great deal busier than most. :)

[17:58] <melt7777> up. any ideas?
[17:58] <Left_Turn> thanks MonkeyDust
[17:58] <shashank_> My networking service is not running?
[17:58] <ikonia> melt7777: is the init script there....
[17:58] <shashank_> can any1 help?
[17:59] <melt7777> no, it is not there, on the "new build" or on the actual live usb. but the /etc/default/whoopsie exists on both instances.
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> dextor__  it looks like wlan0 is the culprit, it's not the VM
[17:59] <minimec> shashank_: put 'auto eth0' (new line) 'iface eth0 inet dhcp' in /etc/network/interfaces. Still I am confused, because there were some changes in Ubuntu recently, wher imho /etc/network/interface was ignored by the network manager... Hmmm...
[17:59] <dextor__> MonkeyDust:  I told you it's not modem that generate Dynamic IP, it's about one extra host on my ISP which is given and assigned by them. Kindly if you know any other solution then please help me.
[17:59] <ikonia> melt7777: /etc/defaut/whoopsie is worthless, that error is complaining about the init script
[18:00] <fa7ad> guys anybody has the download link for libimobiledevice 1.1.6 ?
[18:00] <ikonia> minimec: there is no need for the interfaces file - that is why network manager is there
[18:00] <melt7777> i understand but  i just wanted to provide all troubleshooting information
[18:00] <fa7ad> it was a git build.. it fixed some ios 7 errors
[18:00] <minimec> ikonia: Exactly. That's where I am confused. THX :) But his network service is not starting @boot. Why could that be.
[18:00] <shashank_> minimec, both the lones shud be thr?
[18:01] <shashank_> *lines
[18:01] <ikonia> minimec: can network manager see the interface, eg: can you configure the interface through network manager ?
[18:01] <wdr> hey folks. i have a huge problem. No idea what happened but it seems i have fucked my x server. after loggin in, everything hangs and i cannot get anythig n my screen (empty desktop only) - any idea what to do?
[18:01] <dextor__> MonkeyDust: I am having  a Mobile Broadband connectivity. and on it I am runing VM's. And it is not possible to assigned Bridged adapter.
[18:02] <minimec> ikonia: shashank_: I told him to do so. 'Edit connections' and so on...
[18:04] <bipul> Hello.
[18:04] <maveas> Going nutter here.. Log messages from iptables doesn't go into messages though they are visible from dmesg (the program, not the log files). How do I get dmesg to save the iptables log messages to the /var/log/messages?
[18:04] <ikonia> iptables does not log
[18:04] <ikonia> thats why tools like ulog are used
[18:05] <bipul> So It's not possible to use APT- in terminal to install and update package when you are behind the NAT ?
[18:05] <maveas> ikonia: I know - I just need rsyslog to log it..
[18:05] <ikonia> bipul: of course it is
[18:05] <melt7777> how about this.  can i omit whoopsie from being updated during apt-get upgrade?
[18:05] <ikonia> melt7777: pin it ?
[18:05] <minimec> shashank_: Is the eth0 device activated in the network settings in 'General'? 'Automatically connect to this network...'
[18:05] <ikonia> !info whoopsie
[18:06] <melt7777> hmmm
[18:06] <melt7777> doesn't seem optional
[18:06] <melt7777> i have found the pinning howto.
[18:06] <shashank_> minimec, yes...
[18:06] <bipul> ikonia, sir I am  trying to do so. but I am unable to download or update any packages please check here pastebin.com/GEW1kWiC
[18:07] <basketballl> anyone know how to fix this http://paste.ubuntu.com/7057041/
[18:07] <melt7777> let me try apt-mark hold whoopsie and perform an upgrade and see if it works out.
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> dextor__  i'm sure someone else can help better, repeat your question every 10-15 minutes or so, in one line
[18:07] <ikonia> bipul: so there is a signature error and a failed to fetch error there,
[18:07] <ikonia> bipul: why do you think that is anything to do with nat ?
[18:08] <minimec> shashank_: I see no reason for that device not(!) to start @boot. 'Ethernet' section 'Device MAC address' ok?
[18:08] <bipul> Because I am runing this Ubuntu behind NAT on VM's
[18:08] <ikonia> bipul: I suspect it's nothing to do with nat and more likley your VM network bridging/routing
[18:08] <maveas> Never mind my question. rsyslog wasn't configured properly..
[18:09] <minimec> shashank_: Maybe clean that /etc/network/interfaces file once, and reboot.
[18:09] <Guest21357> hi.. does anyone know if Damn Small Ubuntu will still require pae? or if ill be able to install fake pae once damn small has booted and then upgrade to xubuntu 13.10?
[18:09] <bipul> ikonia, so how can i fix this signature issue?
[18:09] <shashank_> minimec, let me try that too.
[18:09] <shashank_> brb
[18:11] <basketballl> when i go to the display settings i want to change the resolution to 1280 x 800 (16:10) when i select that resolution the rotation options change from 180 degress counterclockwise and clockwise and normal to just clockwise and counterclockwise
[18:12] <bipul> ikonia, ?
[18:12] <Guest21357> does damn small ubuntu need pae? anyone know?
[18:12] <ikonia> iptable: what ?
[18:12] <ikonia> Guest21357: damn small ubuntu is not an official release - ask their support resources
[18:12] <ikonia> bipul: what /
[18:12] <ikonia> iptable: sorry, not you
[18:13] <Guest21357> ikonia: will do.
[18:13] <bipul> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983220 That is the solution to fix the issue?
[18:14] <bekks> bipul: Did you setup the network correctly, inside your VMs?
[18:14] <ikonia> bipul: thats just a guy whos connection has dropped, how has that anything to do with the problem you are raising ?
[18:14] <bipul> Yes, My network is setup correctly. and about the same problem that guy is facing on forum.
[18:15] <ikonia> it's nothing like that guys problem
[18:15] <bekks> bipul: Its totally different.
[18:16] <bipul> Then how should i fix my problem.
[18:16] <bipul> ?
[18:16] <ikonia> I suspect the problem is the way your vm's are bridged to your physical network
[18:16] <ikonia> bipul: on your vm type "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the FULL output please
[18:16] <bekks> bipul: Pastebin "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn" please.
[18:17] <bekks> in addition to what ikonia said.
[18:17] <bipul> ok hold on give me some time
[18:17] <jnoob22> that's almost always the case when your network connectivity unexpectedly goes south on a hypervisor.
[18:17] <jnoob22> bad bridging configs (or gone bad).
[18:17] <ikonia> who said his host had a problem johnpaulneedham ?
[18:17] <ikonia> ????
[18:17] <ikonia> jnoob22: what are you on about ??? we know nothing about his setup
[18:18] <jnoob22> indeed. not yet.

[18:27] <arctan>  hello ubuntu community, I used dd to wipe my whole disk. after running for about 4-5 hours, I got following message and the process was finished: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7057187/  does this mean that the full disk was wiped successfully, or that it was interrupted?
[18:28] <ikonia> arctan: you've filled up your disk with data - whatever data you told it to do
[18:29] <ikonia> bipul: so as you can see - it's working with the other releases just fine
[18:29] <arctan> ikonia, I only told to dd the whole disk with this command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4k conv=notrunc
[18:29] <ikonia> bipul: it's just the updates repo that's having a problem, that proves it's nothing to do with nat, or the others would be failing
[18:30] <ikonia> arctan: so there you go.....it's done the whole disk
[18:30] <arctan> ikonia, I was just confused for the expression "no space left on device"..
[18:31] <bipul> You mean to say I have to use this apt-get upgrade ?
[18:31] <fntr> Justin Bieber is gay
[18:31] <arctan> ikonia, maybe did it mean to say all spaces were zeroed, since there is no data-extraction process involved here?
[18:32] <ikonia> arctan: dd tells it to write data, you have told it to write data, it has wrote data to that disk until there is no space left on that device
[18:33] <basketballl> when i go to the display settings i want to change the resolution to 1280 x 800 (16:10) when i select that resolution the rotation options change from 180 degress counterclockwise and clockwise and normal to just clockwise and counterclockwise
[18:34] <arctan> ikonia, as far as I know, dd overwrites all data with zeroes. in this context, "no space left" means no space left that is not already zeroed by dd. correct?
[18:34] <OerHeks> basketball, what is the diff between 180 clockwize and counterclockwize ?
[18:35] <ikonia> arctan: no, it means there is no space left on the disk to write zero's to
[18:36] <arctan> ikonia, then I have a hard time getting it. This is not testdisk or photorec. there is no data rescued which is to be recovered to some other location. dd is supposed to turn existing data into zeroes. so what extra space is required for that?
[18:36] <ikonia> arctan: dd will tell it to do what you tell it to do
[18:37] <arctan> I used dd before, this never happened. whole disk was wiped and done.
[18:37] <ikonia> arctan: think about it dd if=/dev/zero - you've told it to write zeros, of=/dev/sdb - you've told it to write zeros to the start of /dev/sdb and continue, it continues until it has hit the end of the device "no more space"
[18:37] <ikonia> arctan: it's an unusual warning for sure
[18:39] <arctan> ikonia, so "no more space" doesn't mean it couldnt complete wiping to the end, but rather it did complete it and reach the end. is it?
[18:39] <ikonia> arctan: that's how it reads to me
[18:40] <arctan> ikonia, yet do you mean it is a "warning" even if it reads that full wipe is completed?
[18:40] <ikonia> arctan: well, normally as you said it just completes saying records in / out as a count
[18:41] <ikonia> but if you're block size overspills it, I can see how you'd get that warning
[18:46] <arctan> ikonia, so can I be certain of that the disk was fully wiped by dd?
[18:48] <ikonia> arctan: looks that way to me

[19:00] <arctan> ikonia, I also found this tutorial here : http://robotbutler.org/article/36, which says that "dd will then write the zeros to the drive until it runs out of space, by which point we know it has finished." and the final message is shown as the same as the one I received
[19:00] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: I don't remember where the setting is but you need to enable the Require password when logging in
[19:03] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: I'll look for i
[19:03] <SonikkuAmerica> +t
[19:03] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: probably in User and Groups settings

[19:05] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: try turning it on
[19:05] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: OK...
[19:05] <melt7777> ikonia, thank you very much, pleased to report that `apt-mark hold whoopsie` corrected the problem and allowed me to continue upgrading and installing packages on my livecdcustomization mission.... Thanks

[19:06] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: this is on Unity, right? I'm not on Unity so I don't remember it clearly but I recall there being a toggle switch for that

[19:07] <bipul> IdleOne, If i have to change from terminal then?
[19:07] <IdleOne> bipul: then you would need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list

[19:10] <paul__> anyone know of a lenovo e545 graphics driver for linux
[19:10] <Jaga_hut> noob question:
[19:11] <Jaga_hut> What does -y do in terminal?
[19:11] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: nothing
[19:11] <Jaga_hut> I notice it is included in some code and not in others for same function
[19:11] <luigihs_> anyone?
[19:12] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: it will depend on the funciton
[19:12] <ikonia> function
[19:12] <IdleOne> Jaga_hut: -y is usually is used to auto accept whatever the package manager suggests
[19:12] <luigihs_> ?
[19:12] <Jaga_hut> ikonia: Thats my point if the only difference in the code is one has -y and one doesn't
[19:12] <Jaga_hut> then it must do something
[19:12] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: what code ? what are you actually talking about ?
[19:13] <IdleOne> Jaga_hut: but like ikonia said it depends on the function
[19:13] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: in terms of the terminal (bash) it does nothing
[19:13] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: Anyway, it doesn't work
[19:13] <Jaga_hut> Thanks
[19:13] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: in terms of the code you are referencing but not sharing - we don't know until we know what the code is
[19:13] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: I seem to be lacking some libraries
[19:14] <Jaga_hut> Ikonia: No secrets here buddy its just three lines do install ubuntu tweak
[19:14] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: again  - it depends on the code.
[19:14] <ikonia> and to be honest, you need "code" to install a package I don't know
[19:14] <Jaga_hut> Ikonia: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa -y
[19:14] <basketball> how do i get rid of black border with dual monitor set up. I have a Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) and the monitors do not have the same resolution one is the laptop screen and one is external
[19:15] <IdleOne> Jaga_hut: sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
[19:15] <IdleOne> no need for a ppa
[19:15] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: so -y is for the command "add-apt-repository" it's a flag, and it means "auto accept the response as "yes" "
[19:15] <Jaga_hut> IdleOne: Whats PPA needed for?
[19:16] <Jaga_hut> (or not needed for)
[19:16] <IdleOne> Jaga_hut: Sometimes "new" software is not in the official repositories and one might want to use a PPA, in this case you don't need it because the unity-tweak-tool is available in the official repos
[19:17] <Jaga_hut> Ikonia: So if I add-y to any terminal command that requires a [y/n] then it will autimatically be y
[19:17] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: no
[19:17] <ikonia> Jaga_hut: it's a flag for that one command
[19:17] <A1Recon> Is there a way to force bios to read boot from a USB drive because the BIOS does not show the USB drive in the Boot option?
[19:17] <ikonia> A1Recon: that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[19:18] <ikonia> A1Recon: talk to your bios/motherboard vendor
[19:18] <dyce> does anyone know how to change ipv6 addresses? i have a around 10 in my virtual private server. would i just rearrange in /etc/network/interfaces? or is there a command that can do this so i can automate with a script?
[19:18] <A1Recon> ikonia: How so?
[19:18] <IdleOne> A1Recon: it might appear as External media or External HDD
[19:18] <A1Recon> I am trying to install Ubuntu...
[19:18] <SvenOostenbrink> Hey there, I am having a VERY weird problem with a ubuntu install on 3 different computers. 2 were equal (installs were clones), we added another computer, I cloned the drive of one of the originals and the cloned drive would not start, basically stating that there is nothing to start up from. Weird. So I try the other drive.. same.. also noting to start from.. huh? Then I try the first drive, and that one too suddenly is gone..  Is this somethign
[19:18] <SvenOostenbrink> that anybody has ever seen?
[19:18] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: No luck - it still lets the user log in without a password
[19:18] <ikonia> A1Recon: the bios isn't modified by ubuntu
[19:18] <ikonia> A1Recon: the bios isn't controlled by ubuntu
[19:18] <basketball> !xrandr
[19:18] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: not sure what to tell you
[19:18] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: (I even purged and reinstalled lightdm)
[19:18] <ikonia> A1Recon: the bios is written/maintained by the bios vendor, hence talking to them will get you the answer
[19:18] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: Thanks anyway
[19:19] <IdleOne> SonikkuAmerica: There is a solution though. try checking askubuntu, might be a solution there.
[19:20] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: Are you listening?
[19:20] <Jaga_hut> IdleOne: it says that it is unable to locate the package ubuntu -tweak
[19:20] <IdleOne> Jaga_hut: the package is called unity-tweak-tool
[19:21] <Jaga_hut> I already have unity-tweak tool, I want ubuntu tweak http://iloveubuntu.net/ubuntu-tweak-and-unity-tweak-tool-powerful-tweaking-applications-ubuntu-1310
[19:22] <Jaga_hut> IdleOne: They are two different programs
[19:23] <IdleOne> Jaga_hut: in that case follow the instructions on that link
[19:23] <Jaga_hut> IdleOne: Ha Ha got it
[19:23] <basketball> how do i install xrandr
[19:23] <dexxa360> hi
[19:24] <SonikkuAmerica> Marcos60001: Uh yeah... I had an issue too I needed to resolve.
[19:24] <irssi-mi1e> A1Recon: first thing you should do is see if BIOS can be updated to latest version

[19:24] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: oh ok
[19:24] <daftykins> he's planning on being a naughty boy
[19:24] <daftykins> ;)
[19:25] <bobo> hi, how can I share my files via ad-hoc connection between two pc
[19:25] <irssi-mi1e> deepy: apt-get install aircrack-ng
[19:25] <A1Recon> irssi-mi1e: Maybe something is wrong with the Pendrive.... I guess. Its not mine.
[19:25] <dexxa360> hi
[19:25] <deepy> irssi-mi1e: However the following packages replace it: iw:i386 iw
[19:25] <Jaga_hut> IdleOne: necessary, ubuntu-tweak is NOT in official repositories
[19:25] <SonikkuAmerica> Marcos60001: Besides, why not try installing the kde-full package instead?
[19:25] <Genome36_> Noah_AT: sup
[19:26] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: oh oh
[19:26] <sudormrf> hey guys.  I was wondering if someone clears something up for me about the hosts.deny file.  if you do this in that file "ALL: X.X.X.X" where the X's represent an IP address, that host should no longer be able to reach you, correct?  Alternatively, which action happens first when a host tries to connect, the host file is scanned and then the iptables or the reverse?
[19:26] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: still doesn't work
[19:27] <ikonia> sudormrf: it will depend on the application and how tcp wrappers are being used
[19:27] <dexxa360> testing
[19:27] <bobo> somebody help me?
[19:27] <sudormrf> ikonia: I am using fail2ban.
[19:27] <ikonia> sudormrf: iptables is nothing to do with any application, so that will happen when the machine gets a network packet to the interface iptables is active on
[19:27] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: Meh, it was a fresh install from scratch anyway, I just reinstalled Ubuntu
[19:28] <dexxa360> hi
[19:28] <SonikkuAmerica> IdleOne: Remembering, of course, to assign a password and require it on login
[19:28] <sudormrf> ikonia: what I mean is which is looked at first when a packet comes through, the iptables or the hosts file?
[19:28] <jelly-home> sudormrf: it's probably saner to use iptables instead of hosts.deny as fail2ban action when possible
[19:28] <ikonia> sudormrf: re-read what I just said
[19:28] <afterlight> bobo, make-write your problem and iff someone can help you , it will
[19:28] <ikonia> sudormrf: iptables will respond when a packet hits the interface
[19:29] <sudormrf> jelly-home: I was told that very long ip tables can create performance issues
[19:29] <jelly-home> sudormrf: ipset, then
[19:29] <dexxa360> testing
[19:29] <basketball> this is the output of xrandr -q http://paste.ubuntu.com/7057505/ how do i change the resolution of the built in monitor
[19:29] <ikonia> sudormrf: set the retention policy of rules to something like 5 days and you'll never hit that long a list
[19:29] <sudormrf> jelly-home: is that an alternative to iptables? the machine has plenty of overhead
[19:29] <sudormrf> ikonia: for fail2ban?
[19:29] <ikonia> sudormrf: having a huge hosts.deny file will be worse than a big iptables rule set
[19:30] <dexxa360> hi
[19:30] <bobo> afterlight: I did and nobody wrote me
[19:30] <A1Recon> ikonia: I am getting into this problem because I am choosing to install Ubuntu. So maybe this hasn't got everything to do with Ubuntu....but I thought I could get help here if anyone had ran into this same problem....
[19:30] <ikonia> A1Recon: it doesn't change that you'll need to talk to the vendor/read the info to konw if your bios can boot usb
[19:30] <ikonia> A1Recon: everyone's bios is different so you can't say "mine can do it, so do this to yours"
[19:31] <sudormrf> hmm.  ok.
[19:31] <dexxa360> testing
[19:34] <dexxa360> hi

[19:36] <ikonia> arctann: you just asked this ??
[19:37] <ikonia> why are you asking it again
[19:37] <arctann> yes. I've been reading some posts.
[19:37] <dexxa360> how do i set this chat font to be bold
[19:37] <dexxa360> bold
[19:37] <afterlight> what conection you have lan o wireless ? bobo ?
[19:38] <OerHeks> arctann, you should have added the original dd command, 'conv=notrunc' might be important info
[19:38] <bobo> afterlight: ad-hoc wireless
[19:38] <arctann> OerHeks, this was included in the original command
[19:38] <ikonia> arctann: it's fine
[19:38] <ikonia> arctann: accept it and move on with your day
[19:38] <windows> any way to restart with schourtcut key   ubuntu desktop  when its frozen
[19:39] <bobo> afterlight: and in other debian pc I can use only command line
[19:39] <windows> itd hard for newbee to startx
[19:39] <arctann> OerHeks, this was the command : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k conv=notrunc
[19:39] <OerHeks> arctann, usually this is used "conv=notrunc,noerror" to avoid an error that is not an error in the way that your command has not finished.
[19:40] <OerHeks> arctann, so you are fine, wiped 100%
[19:40] <toyimp> is there a way to determine what architecture my nVidia driver is currently installed? 32bit or 64

[19:41] <bobo> afterlight: I see both PC in connection, but only names, no directories
[19:41] <ikonia> toyimp: it will be the same arch as your system arch
[19:41] <OerHeks> toyimp, should be matching your OS arch
[19:41] <arctann> OerHeks, thank you for your clarifying information!
[19:41] <afterlight> bobo, well i cant help you sorry.
[19:41] <arctann> ikonia, thank you, too.
[19:41] <toyimp> So if I use the proprietary drivers from software & drivers it'll use the 64bit version?
[19:41] <afterlight> bobo, try it a bit more on google  ???
[19:41] <bobo> afterlight: thank you so much
[19:41] <ikonia> toyimp: correct

[19:48] <peyam> what can I do
[19:49] <CodeGosu> are there some kind of gui analog for 'grep'? i want to find files that contain text in specific directory and then inspect them
[19:49] <peyam> Anyone
[19:49] <peyam> how do I activate hdmi

[19:50] <peyam> about hdmi
[19:51] <peyam> or my secondary monitor
[19:51] <geirha> CodeGosu: Some editors have a builtin way of "grepping for files", like vim, though not gedit as far as I know. Though you could use a find + grep in a terminal
[19:52] <geirha> CodeGosu: cd /to/the/dir && find . -type f -exec grep -q 'the pattern' {} \; -exec gedit {} +

[19:52] <geirha> CodeGosu: could be shortened by making it a function in your .bashrc
[19:52] <ikonia> A1Recon: if thats "live" it's ram/memory
[19:52] <bekks> A1Recon: If you have a persistent USB stick - if you just have a LiveUSB, it is lost after rebooting.
[19:53] <A1Recon> bekks: Oh. Thanks!!
[19:54] <peyam> anybody
[19:54] <jdavis> I have a problem with my disk and/or btrfs filesystem. I keep getting "ata3: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)" and "ata3: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)" in dmesg, and it slows down my computer. I think it's related to a recent power failure.
[19:54] <SvenOostenbrink> I have a GPT harddrive that was only disconnected and reconnected and suddenly will no longer boot. Any ideas? Maybe do I have to reinstall GPT? How would I do that?
[19:55] <jdavis> Also, the filesystem is btrfs raid1 over two drives. btrfsck is showing some errors, and then it segfaults.
[19:55] <jdavis> Any ideas?
[19:55] <ikonia> jdavis: sounds like the hard disk is failing if it's resetting like that
[19:56] <bobo> afterlight: no :(
[19:56] <jdavis> ikonia: smart isn't reporting any errors though
[19:56] <jdavis> unless you have an idea of something specific I can run
[19:56] <ikonia> jdavis: maybe the controller,
[19:56] <jdavis> however, smartctl does take a lot longer to run on that one disk.
[19:56] <ikonia> jdavis: basically that disk is not coming "up" on the controller
[19:57] <jdavis> ikonia, oh, OK. Is that a bios-level thing or something?
[19:57] <ikonia> no
[19:57] <Hecter> hi, running commands like git pull, sudo service apache2 restart , command line just hangs. what should i do?
[19:58] <jdavis> ikonia, I have a btrfs raid1, so in theory it should be safe against this kind of thing.
[19:58] <jdavis> ikonia, do you know how to check the status of the raid?
[19:58] <ikonia> no it shouldnt
[19:58] <jdavis> ikonia, no?
[19:59] <jdavis> I mean safe against data loss, not the disk problem itself
[19:59] <ikonia> jdavis: have you lost data ?
[19:59] <jdavis> I hope not
[19:59] <ikonia> then why are you suggesting you've lost data ?
[20:00] <jdavis> ikonia, I would just like to know the status of the raid
[20:00] <jdavis> ikonia, and I don't really know how to see that with btrfs
[20:01] <ikonia> jdavis: why are you using a file system that is not enabled by default and you don't know how to administrate if you don't want to lose daa ?
[20:01] <ikonia> data
[20:01] <jdavis> ikonia, I have the data backed up. It's not the end of the world if it disappears. But there's only one way I know to learn something, and that's to try it.
[20:01] <ikonia> jdavis: ok - so what does the documentation say on how to check the status.....
[20:02] <jdavis> ikonia, the documentation is pretty sparse. I was hoping someone here knew.
[20:02] <ikonia> jdavis: the documentation is not sparse
[20:02] <ikonia> jdavis: and keep in mind you've got a warning that a disk device is not coming up - so if your raid array is trying to sync to a non-existant device, that would be bad
[20:02] <ikonia> jdavis: that's just lazy, I've just pulled up the man page in seconds
[20:02] <jdavis> I looked in the man page
[20:02] <ikonia> which also has links to how to manage volumes and sub volumes
[20:03] <jdavis> OK.
[20:03] <ikonia> jdavis: have you looked if the physical device is actually available on your system ?
[20:03] <jdavis> It is.
[20:03] <ikonia> jdavis: how are you verifying that ?
[20:04] <Hecter> hi, running commands like git pull, sudo service apache2 restart , command line just hangs. what should i do?
[20:04] <pranav1> me
[20:05] <jdavis> ikonia, the devices were renamed since last boot, double checking now.
[20:05] <ikonia> jdavis: ok, lost interest now,
[20:16] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: Are you still there?
[20:17] <SonikkuAmerica> Marcos60001: yeah
[20:18] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: Installing kde-full didn't work either, so i'm gonna try from the software center
[20:20] <SonikkuAmerica> Marcos60001: I don't see how that would help, but go ahead
[20:21] <gordonjcp> much as I hate to ask an opinion question, but - if I want to run Windows and Ubuntu, am I better off dual-booting or will Windows work okay in a VM?
[20:22] <ikonia> gordonjcp: really depends on what you need/want
[20:22] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: The thing is, all the packages you suggested me to install through the Terminal depended on other packages, BUT, these packages would not be pulled along in any way possible
[20:22] <gordonjcp> ikonia: I don't really know, that's kind of it
[20:23] <ikonia> gordonjcp: what are you doing to do on Windows ?
[20:23] <ikonia> gordonjcp: (roughly)
[20:23] <gordonjcp> ikonia: don't know
[20:23] <gordonjcp> I want to try it out without messing with a running system
[20:23] <SonikkuAmerica> Marcos60001: Good point...
[20:23] <IdleOne> gordonjcp: if you plan on doing any cpu intensive stuff on windows, you are better off dual booting IMO
[20:23] <ikonia> gordonjcp: vm would be resonable for playing around, if you wnat to "use" it, then dual boot it
[20:23] <Marcos60001> SonikkuAmerica: Not even the libraries required would be pulled along
[20:23] <gordonjcp> hm
[20:24] <gordonjcp> maybe I should just buy another hard disk and do a clean install of Windows
[20:24] <gordonjcp> anyway -OT
[20:24] <ikonia> gordonjcp: not a bad idea.
[20:24] <gordonjcp> I know a few people here dual-boot between Ubuntu and Windows
[20:24] <gordonjcp> it's quite good for games, isn't it?
[20:24] <ikonia> what ubuntu or windows ?
[20:24] <gordonjcp> Windows
[20:24] <gordonjcp> I mostly only keep Linux around for games
[20:24] <ikonia> gordonjcp: it's what games where designed for .....
[20:25] <Marcos60001> gordonjcp: I do dual-boot Ubuntu with Windows
[20:31] <jjdjdjd> i inserted a blank dvd to install ubuntu on and it is not seeign the dvd
[20:32] <tmwsiy_> jjdjdjd: ummm you can't install ubuntu on a dvd
[20:32] <tmwsiy_> jjdjdjd: you can boot to ubuntu using the live CD without messing with your hard drive but you will have to burn the iso first
[20:37] <crawley> Greetings. I've looked this up to no avail. I'm on Xubuntu 13.10, trying to install compiz. When I run ccsm, I get a segfault after "compizconfig - Info: Profile : Unity" Any ideas?
[20:38] <Beldar> crawley, First why compiz in xubuntu?
[20:38] <crawley> i dont particularly like unity.
[20:39] <yahoojohn> can i ask for support here?
[20:39] <thoonai> yahoojohn: yes
[20:39] <yahoojohn> i am trying to configure xrdp to my windows machine getting blank screen
[20:39] <Beldar> crawley, what has that to do with compiz in xubuntu?
[20:40] <thoonai> yahoojohn: could you provide more information?
[20:40] <crawley> mainly, ccsm is segfaulting on me with Xubuntu 13.10 . It uses the same archives as Ubuntu does. I didnt know if that is a known solution, or if others were having similar issues.
[20:41] <thoonai> yahoojohn: probable you got some error log why its not working?
[20:41] <yahoojohn> sure i installed xrdp default did not work so followed instruction from net to configure session etc.
[20:41] <yahoojohn> however still getting blank screen.. where is the log located
[20:41] <Beldar> crawley, All desktops have managers already, what your doing is not really part of support here technically is all.
[20:42] <thoonai> yahoojohn: which guide?
[20:43] <yahoojohn> askubuntu.com/questions/234856/unable-to-remote-desktop-using-xrdp
[20:43] <crawley> So, ubuntu support doesnt support ccsm, which comes directly from the ubuntu repos?
[20:43] <yahoojohn> that is how i ended up with xubuntu instead of ubuntu. it is ok though  thanks thoonai
[20:44] <hFjunky> hello
[20:45] <Beldar> crawley, support is within what a distro or release has, not what you want that is not stock unless that is the only option.
[20:47] <Spinner_nr1> how to instal divx ??
[20:47] <Beldar> crawley, This does not mean you will get no support, just a aheads up on the channel norms.
[20:48] <yahoojohn> nothing in logs either
[20:49] <thoonai> ok
[20:49] <yahoojohn> thoonai: nothing in logs either
[20:50] <thoonai> ok
[20:50] <thoonai> so xrdp itselfs runs properly?
[20:51] <SuperToast> If anybody around could take a look at this askubuntu question it would be a a great help
[20:51] <SuperToast> http://dft.ba/-PPCboot
[20:53] <thoonai> yahoojohn: if the server is running properly, do you can confirm your client is connecting properly to the server? did you set up credentials?
[20:55] <yahoojohn> thoonai: yes just verified
[20:55] <thoonai> yahoojohn: ok
[20:57] <k4r1m> What was that clipboard command that comes preinstalled on ubuntu?
[20:57] <thoonai> yahoojohn: have to go, I hope someone can help you, otherwise I'll be back in ~30 minutes
[20:58] <Beldar> SuperToast, Can we assume you have researched what will actually run on the unit?
[20:58] <yahoojohn> thoonai: thank you i will try somethign else
[21:00] <windows>  also it will be nice to have
[21:01] <windows> monitoring security pannel
[21:01] <windows> if we turn on firewall that we can get notification of
[21:01] <windows> intruder
[21:01] <SuperToast> Beldar, I googled around a little before attempting to install 13.04; do you think maybe i should try 12.04 instead?
[21:02] <kevthanewversi> The util fdisk doesn't
[21:02] <kevthanewversi> support GPT . Use GNU Parted.
[21:02] <kevthanewversi> I'm trying to install kubuntu alongside windows and I cannot see my windows partitions in the kubuntu installation hard disk setup. When I 'try kubuntu' and run fdisk-l I get this error "The util fdisk doesn't
[21:02] <kevthanewversi> I'm trying to install kubuntu alongside windows and I cannot see my windows partitions in the kubuntu installation hard disk setup. When I 'try kubuntu' and run fdisk-l I get this error "The util fdisk doesn't
[21:03] <kevthanewversi> support GPT . Use GNU Parted."
[21:03] <daftykins> doesn't support GPT, by any chance? :)
[21:03] <Beldar> SuperToast, Not sure, I have not had an apple, I would check the sum of what you have. I'm not sure on ppc's releases.
[21:03] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: sounds like you have a newish system with windows 8?
[21:03] <kevthanewversi> Anyone else had such a problem?
[21:04] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: you probably need to boot kubuntu in UEFI mode for it to see the disk setup properly
[21:04] <kevthanewversi> daftykins yeah win 8
[21:04] <daftykins> !uefi
[21:05] <SuperToast> Beldar, I'm booting from a 13.04 usb live image specifically for ppc;
[21:07] <kevthanewversi> daftykins how do i boot kubuntu i e
[21:07] <kevthanewversi> *in uefi
[21:07] <daftykins> is it a laptop?
[21:08] <kevthanewversi> daftykins yeah laptop.
[21:09] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: press whichever key it is to enter the setup screen after powering on, there might be device boot options on the boot or exit pages
[21:09] <daftykins> typically, a device is listed twice, once for legacy: "Generic USB flash drive" for exmaple, then a second time "UEFI: Generic USB flash drive"
[21:09] <Beldar> SuperToast, The errors you show are wifi errors, are you getting to the desktop?
[21:11] <SuperToast> Beldar, nope. After the wifi errors scroll by, it goes the the weird hell-screen.
[21:12] <kevthanewversi> This hard drive I'm installing from is only listed once daftykins
[21:12] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: hrmm which kubuntu is it?
[21:13] <Beldar> SuperToast, Just a guess, may be a missing graphic driver to run the ubuntu desktop, you familiar with a nomodeset boot, or failsafe X from a recovery?
[21:14] <SuperToast> Beldar: I'm not with either
[21:14] <Beldar> !nomodeset > SuperToast
[21:15] <Beldar> SuperToast, I'm just guess here, I know nothing of the platform or the boot voodoo.
[21:15] <SuperToast> Beldar: Thanks for your help!
[21:15] <kevthanewversi> daftykins 13.04. When am installing it,in the partition harddisk part it shows my whole hard drive as empty space.
[21:16] <bekks> 13.04 is EOL.
[21:16] <Beldar> SuperToast, No prob, just a problem kinda sparse here in users and channel posts.
[21:20] <Barcelona1937> ei hello
[21:20] <Beldar> SuperToast, You might try a lubuntu download, it is lighter and not so window manager busy. You still have access to the ubuntu repos and any desktop you can get running.
[21:22] <SuperToast> Beldar: I'll look into it; I remember reading somewhere that lubuntu might be a good choice for ppcs
[21:23] <Beldar> SuperToast, When I run "PowerBook G4" in the askubuntu search I see page after page, not sure if you had a chance to look.
[21:24] <hydrozen> anyone know how to build rsync 3.1.0 on ubuntu? I get a compiler error when I run make
[21:24] <bekks> hydrozen: Then pastebin the error please.
[21:26] <hydrozen> @bekks: here https://gist.github.com/hydrozen/9439112
[21:26] <SuperToast> Beldar: I ran into some of those, but nobody seemed to be having exactly this brand of issue
[21:32] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: 13.04 is already dead, you shouldn't install it
[21:33] <kevthanewversi> I tried 13.10 but same result d
[21:34] <kevthanewversi> daftykins
[21:34] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: hrmm ok one sec
[21:34] <bekks> kevthanewversi: Your choices are 12.04, 12.10 or 13.10
[21:36] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: you're going to need to install and run gparted to partition manually ahead of install
[21:36] <kevthanewversi> bekks i don't get why it shows my whole hard disk as free space though.
[21:38] <kevthanewversi> daftykins gparted? but I can't run it On the kubuntu 'try kubuntu' option can I?
[21:39] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: no reason you can't install a partitioning utility in the live environment
[21:40] <kevthanewversi> Okay maybe I can try that. What if g part still doesn't show my windows partitions? daftykins
[21:41] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: not sure, but getting there may be fun enough
[21:42] <kevthanewversi> daftykins Totally. How about I try that and tell you the results tomorrow man coz it's 1 AM over here.
[21:43] <daftykins> kevthanewversi: yeah or just post to channel, might be someone more experienced around by then :)
[21:44] <kevthanewversi> Ok no problem. Thanks a lot man daftykins :D
[21:49] <streulma> hello, Ubuntu 12.04 has a bug, when I try to copy a folder and paste it elsewhere, it copy's the files, but not the folder and get an error.
[21:50] <lickalott> never had that happen streulma
[21:50] <streulma> maybe I was trying from network share lickalott
[21:50] <lickalott> user error maybe?  are you holding a button while you're doing this or just right click > select or click and drag?
[21:50] <streulma> no
[21:50] <lickalott> *user error was a joke btw
[21:51] <lickalott> that's weird.  I do that all the time (like literally 90% of my folder movements) i've never had an issue.
[21:51] <lickalott> how old is the install?
[21:52] <kavelot> hello. I'm installing ubuntu on a computer wishing to update it to 14.04 as soon as it's available. would it be safer to install 13.10 or 12.04 (the last LTS)?
[21:53] <lickalott> if you're going to upgrade anyway go with 13.
[21:54] <kavelot> ok, thanks!
[22:01] <cnz> anyone know how to install macports on ubuntu 12.04
[22:03] <MonkeyDust> !find macports
[22:08] <Rsvc> ....
[22:09] <Rsvc> ...
[22:09] <MonkeyDust> Rsvc  it works, we see you
[22:11] <Rsvc> ...
[22:16] <drscoops_> how do I find a pendrive so I can upgrade my ubuntu to a newer version
[22:17] <drscoops_> i am using ubuntu 12.4 and it crashes after updates
[22:19] <thoonai> how much RAM is recommended for gitlab?
[22:19] <thoonai> does 512MB is enough?
[22:20] <thoonai> or 1GB?
[22:20] <Beldar> drscoops_, Might it be worth fixing this crash problem, is it a graphic crash?
[22:21] <Beldar> drscoops_, Can you define "upgrade" as you see it?
[22:22] <thoonai> oops wrong channel ;)
[22:26] <drscoops_> going from 12.4 to 13.4 or .10 what ever the new one is
[22:27] <drscoops_> the crash it self is a string of text and it scrolls down for a very long time
[22:27] <drscoops_> it only happens durring update
[22:31] <Beldar> drscoops_, 13.04 is end of life, you would pass through it to 13.10. An upgrade of a crashing setup is not a suggested option generally.
[22:33] <dami> #ubuntu pl
[22:33] <drscoops_> ok so what do I do
[22:33] <dami> #ubuntu.pl
[22:34] <Beldar> drscoops_, What I wonder is are you using a proprietary graphic driver?
[22:34] <drscoops_> yes
[22:34] <drscoops_> I think so
[22:34] <drscoops_> I kknow i have a very good graphics card installed to my laptop
[22:34] <Beldar> drscoops_, If this is the case they need to be reloaded on kernel upgrades....etc.
[22:35] <drscoops_> it did say some thing about additional drivers
[22:35] <drscoops_> active but not in use
[22:36] <Beldar> drscoops_, So how have you installed drivers if you have?
[22:36] <drscoops_> I have not installed drivers before I thought ubuntu did that for me
[22:39] <okt> Can I run openSSH server during the install of ubuntu server? My hardware lacks a PS/2 port and the installation isn't accepting input from a usb keyboard. Ubuntu Server 13.10
[22:39] <daftykins> okt: i wouldn't recommend non-LTS versions of server
[22:40] <daftykins> okt: not sure on that one, the installer is pretty basic
[22:41] <Beldar> drscoops_, Anyway, this is not my best area graphics. You have several choices, get some help with 12.04, try a upgrade that may not fix this per-say, or a fresh install. If you fix 12.04 you will have a upgrade to the new lts in april.
[22:41] <okt> daftykins: I'll have to give 12.04 a go until 14.04 is released.
[22:42] <drscoops_> how do I fix 12.4 can some one walk me threw it
[22:44] <drscoops_> Did 14. 4 get held up I thought it was coming out in 2013
[22:44] <drscoops_> like at the end of the year or some thing
[22:44] <Beldar> drscoops_, no hold up 4-14 = april
[22:44] <drscoops_> ok
[22:45] <drscoops_> so I need to install my graphic card drivers
[22:45] <shrg> if i run "sudo lsof -i" and see a bunch of "vino-serv" commands from an unknown IP, does that mean someone has cracked my vino-serv or someone is trying to crack? looked briefly at "man lsof" but not sure how to distinguish open Internet file from active, successful connection
[22:46] <daftykins> shrg: those are incoming connections, likely
[22:46] <daftykins> shrg: well a TCP session is established and successful regardless of what your services do to deny
[22:51] <qin> lsof -i
[22:51] <basketballll> !upgrade | Left_Turn
[22:51] <basketballll> !upgrade > Left_Turn
[22:52] <shrg> daftykins, should i interpret these connections as attempts or as real, live connections? if the latter, why open so many connections when only one is needed to remotely share desktop?
[22:52] <daftykins> shrg: i'm not familiar with the particular service you're running, but why not confirm with a test setup?
[23:01] <shrg> daftykins, i hesitate to purposefully attempt to connect to possibly cracked(infected) machine. maybe it's trying to infect other machines on local network right now?
[23:04] <daftykins> shrg: well, my idea of test was to virtualise the setup and compare the output of lsof.
[23:14] <jmpdev> how do i add an iprule to accept all from a certain ip anywhere?
[23:15] <shrg> daftykins, ok, don't know enough to do that right now. thanks for assistance, nonetheless.

[23:25] <shovel_boss> hello
[23:25] <usr13> Octopus_: It appears others have, "I had Ubuntu 11.10 in my T42p, AFAIR it was working fine with no issues" (from http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=106913)
[23:25] <shovel_boss> does the -i386 version of ubuntu

[23:25] <rww> shovel_boss: yes
[23:25] <usr13> shovel_boss: Yes
[23:25] <rww> shovel_boss: it also supports amd64 processors from intel ;)
[23:26] <shovel_boss> is there any amd64 version specific for amd to make it run better?

[23:28] <sammy> im trying to help an elderly family member with their ubuntu install. i assume their router has upnp, so i was wondering if i could skip manually setting up a port forward by using a remote desktop app someone is about to tell me exists that uses upnp to open the port?
[23:28] <rww> shovel_boss: the handful of differences in implementation aren't worth a whole new ISO spin

[23:57] <usr13> gkmngrgn: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[23:58] <gkmngrgn> usr13: yes it's installed and ssh service is started.
[23:58] <unicornjedi> ramiro, ooooooh, hmm i wonder if there is a console for inkscape.
[23:59] <bbaaxx> ramiro: there should be a compiler for pretty much every single modern programming language, what programming language are you comfortable with ?
[23:59] <gkmngrgn> usr13: I tried to connect like "ssh <IP_ADDRESS>", the output is: 22 connection time out.
