[11:41] <Peaker> all this extra information is *research* information to help diagnose symptoms.  I am giving a description of a specific problem, not symptoms
[11:41] <iceroot> Peaker: maybe have a look at #ubuntu-bugs how to edit the bug successful so that all neded infos are there
[11:41] <Peaker> iceroot, as I said, I have a problem loading launchpad.net. It times out
[11:41] <rThob> hello world :)
[11:41] <iceroot> Peaker: #ubuntu-bugs is an irc channel
[11:42] <stellarok> any anons here
[11:42] <Peaker> I understand, but how could it help me with that problem?
[11:42] <iceroot> Peaker: to ask what information are needed exactly to mark is as "complete"
[11:42] <Peaker> Neither ubuntu-bug/apport nor bugs.launchpad.net are loadable here. Both get "stuck" when trying to report a bug
[11:43] <Peaker> there are two problems here: 1) Technical, I cannot use the bugs service, so all this information will not help me.  2) I already specified all the information needed to find and fix the problem (except perhaps the specific version of the package, though it is the newest as of the date of the report, and I cannot add this information)
[11:43] <bazhang> !ot | stellarok
[11:44] <Peaker> If there's a way to help diagnose why launchpad.net times out on all my networks' computers, that'd be good. I'm guessing it relates to some ISP block or launchpad block of a whole network due to some DoS issues or such?
[11:45] <Gopi> Please can anyone help me with WIFI trouble on lubuntu 12.04
[11:45] <stellarok> i have a vpn quesion
[11:45] <bazhang> !wifi | Gopi have a read
[11:45] <bazhang> stellarok, ##networking
[11:45] <Peaker> Hey, with tethering I can access the website, proving it is indeed ISP/launchpad blocking issue
[11:46] <stellarok> ll
[11:46] <BluesKaj> !ask | stellarok
[11:46] <bazhang> stellarok, /join ##networking
[11:46] <Gopi> thank you bazhang and ubottu, if any trouble i will get back on IRC. :)
[11:47] <FrameFever> how can I print an enviroment variable?
[11:47] <Tzunamii> echo "$PWD"
[11:47] <Peaker> iceroot, btw, to fix the problem I had to install my own version of the package, so apport-collect would of course report false information about the package involved
[11:47] <Peaker> (i.e: that it's my package installed, so there's no bug)
[11:49] <Erik_dc> Hello
[11:49] <liquidmetal> In xchat, I've setup my Nickserv password (Network List > Freenode > Edit > Nickserv Password)
[11:50] <liquidmetal> It works - but it never auto-joins a channel that requires identified users

[11:50] <liquidmetal> duca - ti
[11:50] <bazhang> liquidmetal, put it in the server field   username:pw
[11:50] <bazhang> liquidmetal, there is also SASL and #xchat
[11:51] <liquidmetal> bazhang, in the server field?
[11:51] <Peaker> managed to change it to "confirmed".  don't think I'll be spending hours trying to report another bug :(
[11:51] <Erik_dc> Can someone help me how to pre-instrall ubuntu (or another distro) on a harddisk for another computer please?
[11:52] <wilee-nilee> liquidmetal, below nick server password
[11:52] <Erik_dc> I just need to get the distro on there, all the rest I can do over the network
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> Erik_dc  i guess you ant a pxe install
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> want*
[11:54] <Erik_dc> pxe?
[11:54] <Erik_dc> Preboot Execution Environment
[11:54] <BluesKaj> Erik_dc, the pc you intend to use with the preinstall better have exactly the same hardware , otherwise the instal will be buggy or won't woirk at all
[11:55] <Erik_dc> it is for my music pc, it just hase to auto startup JackD
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> Erik_dc  start from the beginning, what do you want to achieve?
[11:56] <Erik_dc> maybe better to just move the pc to my desktop. Just checking. Thank for the help
[11:58] <Erik_dc> well. I have a pc with nothing more than a DAC that runs Jack audio server over the network. I can use my main computer as a slave to connect to it and play my favorite music in audacious (I also have alsa routed to jack so I should be able to play about everything)
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> Erik_dc  and what brings you here?
[11:59] <BluesKaj> Erik_dc, what's the server OS?
[12:00] <Erik_dc> running Xubuntu now on the server. I just thought I could take a old 40G hdd, install a new OS on that and plug it in the music computer
[12:01] <gordonjcp> Erik_dc: yes
[12:01] <Erik_dc> Thought about asking if there was a easy fast way
[12:01] <liquidmetal> bazhang, wilee-nilee - figured it out - thanks!
[12:01] <gordonjcp> Erik_dc: do you even need xubuntu?  Sounds like going headless would be okay too
[12:02] <Erik_dc> yup
[12:02] <Erik_dc> or arch maybe
[12:02] <gordonjcp> arch is fun
[12:02] <Erik_dc> once installed I can connect to it over remote desktop or ssh
[12:02] <gordonjcp> I wouldn't use it as an everyday OS though
[12:02] <gordonjcp> Erik_dc: anyway there's nothing to stop you swapping the drive into a machine that you *can* boot, then swapping it back
[12:02] <Erik_dc> running linux mint xfce, I like it actually
[12:02] <Gilligan94> Hi guys, so for some raison I am stuck on kernel 3.8.0-20. all manner of updates/upgrades do not work (No errors but nothing changes). Installing the new kernel manually doesn't work either (it installs correctly but rebooting and typring uname -r revealse that nothing has changed) any Ideas?
[12:03] <gordonjcp> Erik_dc: I take it the machine you want to install on won't boot off USB or something?
[12:03] <Erik_dc> sure, good idea
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  what's the output of      cat /etc/issue  ?
[12:04] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[12:05] <Erik_dc> gordonjcp: I thought about installing a Raspberry Pi inside my DAC. But the Raspi has serious problems running Jackd
[12:05] <gordonjcp> Erik_dc: it certainly does ;-)
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  raring has 3.8.0-25
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  what's this -20 kernel?
[12:05] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: ok?
[12:06] <Erik_dc> gordonjcp: you know a raspi alternative that can do that?
[12:06] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: I dont know I think I had proposed checked for a while
[12:07] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: I havn't done anything to install it, it's just what I had when I checked
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  try sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:08] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: I have, there show no updates avalible
[12:08] <Erik_dc> gordonjcp: going to #jack for more info, thanks for helping
[12:08] <gordonjcp> Erik_dc: not really, you'd ideally want hardware maths though
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  dist-upgrade install -26 here
[12:10] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  dist-upgrade installs -26 here
[12:11] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: I know, that's what I want. I actually have -26 installed but it never loads during boot -20 always loads
[12:11] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: and grub only shows -20
[12:11] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: and I have tried updating grub
[12:11] <chunkyhe1d> guys need little help, how do i make my own command, like there is ls, say i want to make a command off which does sudo shutdown now. how to go about that?
[12:12] <Erik_dc> gordonjcp: going to research a bit more, thanks a lot
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> Gilligan94  use ubuntu-tweak to get rid of old kernels http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[12:12] <Gilligan94> chunkyhe1d: sudo halt will turn off your computer
[12:12] <Gilligan94> MonkeyDust: I have tried this too
[12:12] <chunkyhe1d> Gilligan94: that was just an example of many things i want to do.
[12:13] <Gilligan94> chunkyhe1d: I'd suggest looking into learning how to write programs
[12:13] <chunkyhe1d> i know how to write programs. i even know bash scripting. but i dont want to write ./script.sh
[12:13] <chunkyhe1d> i just want to type <command> ^ Gilligan94
[12:14] <sensae> chunkyhe1d: You could write a shell alias, "alias off="sudo shutdown now" "
[12:14] <sensae> You'd still need to enter your sudo password after typing off
[12:14] <Gilligan94> chunkyhe1d: well I guess you're out of luck unless you want to start modifying the kernel
[12:14] <chunkyhe1d> Gilligan94: no man -_- there has to be something for that
[12:15] <chunkyhe1d> sensae: that is an option, but then again it's just an alias.
[12:15] <chunkyhe1d> how to make a command sensae
[12:15] <Gilligan94> chunkyhe1d: the commands come from the kernel so if you want it to be like a command you'll have to add it to the kernel
[12:16] <sensae> chunkyhe1d: Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want to do, writing a shell script is all that comes to mind. Just stick it somewhere where it's on your path.
[12:16] <sensae> chunkyhead: You can drop the .sh as long as line 1 is a properly formatted #! line
[12:17] <chunkyhead> that's partly what i am saying.
[12:17] <chunkyhead> sensae: ^
[12:17] <noob7> can someone please tell me what ++C in http://stackoverflow.com/a/6961578 means?
[12:18] <noob7> cause there is no C (capital c) defined
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> noob7  ask in #bash
[12:18] <noob7> thx
[12:18] <chunkyhead> bash scripting can be done, no prob, but then everytime i need to give the path for the file. supposingly i want to create a script copy all which copies everything to some specific directory so can i make some command which is available globally?
[12:19] <chunkyhead> sensae: ^
[12:19] <Gilligan94> noob7: c++ is like saying c = c + 1
[12:19] <noob7> I don't think so cause if I replace ++C with ++c I get an other result
[12:19] <chunkyhead> ++c means first change the value of c then operate.. c++ means first operate then update value noob7
[12:20] <chunkyhead> yeah because c and C are 2 different variables. trollmuch? noob7
[12:21] <sensae> chunkyhead: as for having to type the path, if your shell scripts are in your path you only have to type the name of the script
[12:22] <FrameFever> how can I pipe the message of a compile to a file?
[12:22] <FrameFever> I use make
[12:22] <chunkyhead> sensae: yes but if i am not in the current directory i have to list the path which i dont want to do.
[12:22] <chunkyhead> FrameFever: use this >
[12:22] <chunkyhead> FrameFever: eg: ls > filename
[12:22] <chunkyhead> or ls > /directory/filename
[12:22] <chunkyhead> FrameFever: ^
[12:23] <FrameFever> chunkyhead: seems to insert only one line
[12:23] <noob7> chunkyhead, ok thanks I thought I first have to declare C before using thanks
[12:23] <FrameFever> make MyLib > foo.txt
[12:23] <rypervenche> FrameFever: If you want to see the output too, you can do | tee filename
[12:23] <sensae> chunkyhead: By 'in your path', I don't mean 'if the scripts are in the same working directory you're in', I mean 'as long as your scripts reside in a folder listed in the shell variable PATH, your shell will resolve the script no matter where it resides'
[12:24] <chunkyhead> FrameFever: nope, it doesn't. it saves everything that command will output. your output must be of 1 line
[12:24] <chunkyhead> noob7: u have to declare everything before using it lol. noob7
[12:24] <rypervenche> FrameFever: If your output is from stderr then you'll want to run...
[12:25] <chunkyhead> sensae: where is shell variable path?
[12:25] <FrameFever> I got thousand compile error
[12:25] <FrameFever> s
[12:25] <rypervenche> FrameFever: Make MyLib 2>&1 | tee filename
[12:26] <sensae> chunkyhead: type 'echo $PATH' in your terminal to see what it's set to. Your shell sets the path, so if you're using bash you'd configure your custom path locations in your .bashrc file
[12:26] <sensae> chunkyhead: Just be careful not to overwrite your path variable, or you won't be able to find system binaries like ls
[12:26] <FrameFever> rypervenche: ah thanks, this seems to work
[12:27] <FrameFever> can you exlpain what it does?
[12:27] <Folas> Has anyone got the pidgin-facebookchat working on 13.04?
[12:27] <Folas> Always gives me "Incorrect username or password." :(
[12:27] <chunkyhead> noob7: dude use a counter. after counter reaches multiple of 3 (assuming it starts from 1) replace n-1 char with char of your choice
[12:28] <chunkyhead> sensae: is this possible? bash: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games: No such file or directory
[12:29] <noob7> chunkyhead, got it now thanks
[12:29] <sensae> chunkyhead: What do you mean by 'possible' ? That's your path, looks like you might have typed "$PATH" instead of "echo $PATH" at your shell prompt
[12:29] <rypervenche> FrameFever: It sends standard error to standard output so that it shows up in your pipe.
[12:29] <chunkyhead> my bad sensae
[12:29] <chunkyhead> ur nick is soo cool sensae
[12:30] <chunkyhead> where exactly do i place my bash file? sensae
[12:30] <mustafa> hi ...i have a problem regarding connecting to my server using vsftp it doent connect it respont and say ( that fzsftp ) started but dont log in with my user name and password and dont connect at all using ssh client putty did i miss any setting
[12:30] <sensae> lol ty. You should have a .bashrc file in your home directory
[12:31] <yorrd> Keep getting an error when adding an account in the gnome online accounts settings (Something like he couldn't add it to the keyring).
[12:32] <sensae> chunkyhead: You can add a line like this: 'export PATH="/my/custom/path/here/:$PATH" '
[12:32] <sensae> chunkyhead: The file should live at /home/chunkyhead/.bashrc. ^ That above line will set PATH to your custom folder, and then append all the normal system settings at the end.

[12:39] <sensae-x120e> If I need to restart an entire service, such as pulseaudio, without rebooting, is there another method besides init.d?

[12:46] <nyRednek> looking for a way to put together a semi-portable(if not fully portable) install of linux on a usb key, with an encrypted partition for data. tried using ubuntu's mini iso as a starting point and building from there...that was a failure...ideas on which direction i should go with this?
[12:47] <k4jcw> Good morning. Is there a list of packages available for Ubuntu somewhere? I've been Googling the last 10 minutes and EVERYTHING I find is how to list files in a package, how to use apt-get, etc.
[12:48] <mustafa> i have a problem logging to my sftp server from a local network pc iam writing my user and pasword  my ftp client said to be respond but cant login using my user and passwd
[12:48] <adv> MonkeyDust: yep its iPod Classic 80GB...
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> k4jcw  try appnr.com
[12:48] <k4jcw> MonkeyDust, thanks.
[12:49] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: have a look in Ubuntu Software Centre
[12:49] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: it's probably better to have some idea in mind of what you're looking for, though
[12:50] <mustafa> i have a problem logging to my sftp server from a local network pc iam writing my user and pasword  my ftp client said to be respond but cant login using my user and passwd
[12:51] <acovrig> I'm on 12.04 desktop and randomly can't boot, I have it booting verbosely, it does for a little bit, then I drop to a black screen, why?
[12:51] <acovrig> I booted off a USB (GParted) and ran badblocks and fsck and didn't get any errors on those (I am running w/a LVM and Xen)
[12:52] <k4jcw> gordonjcp, I was looking for something small to install to prove apt-get was still working ('screen' works nicely, I use that frequently). apt-get update works, but I haven't seen any new updates in over 10 days for ANYTHING I have installed. Which is quite ununusual...
[12:53] <MonkeyDust> k4jcw  what's the output of sudo apt-get update|pastebinit ? paste the url here in the channel
[12:54] <mustafa> i have a problem logging to my sftp server from a local network pc iam writing my user and pasword  my ftp client said to be respond but cant login using my user and passwd.....help any body
[12:55] <k4jcw> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5852502/  It's actually a lubuntu install.
[12:55] <bekks> mustafa: Whats the very exact error you get? Please pastebin it.
[12:57] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: are you running 12.04?

[12:58] <Alku> Hi all, I have installed driver for Ralink 5370 on lubuntu 12.04. However the wifi does not seem to work. Have been through a lot of support articles to no success.
[12:58] <Alku> Please see result of lshw -c network on pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/5852517/
[13:00] <tsimpson> mustafa: ftp client? ftp is not sftp
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Alku, I had some success with WICD network manager on ralink wifi a few yrs ago
[13:00] <BluesKaj> !wicd
 you mean i cant access it using filezilla
[13:01] <BluesKaj> !info wicd
[13:01] <Alku> BluesKaj, thanks please tell me how to get wicd?
[13:01] <BluesKaj> Alku , in the sofrtware center
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> Alku  it's in the repos, install it like any other program
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> !info wicd | Alku
[13:02] <k4jcw> gordonjcp, I think so. I don't know/remember an option to display the version (I'm a Gentoo guy, switching over to Ubuntu. Lots of Linux experience, just not with Ubuntu's particulars)
[13:02] <Alku> thanks, BluesKaj, MonkeyDust and ubottu. I will install and see.
[13:02] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: it's much the same as Debian
[13:03] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: 12.04LTS is the current stable version and hasn't really required many updates recently
[13:03] <k4jcw> Yea, except with apt-get instead of emerge
[13:03] <k4jcw> 13.04 raring.
[13:04] <tsimpson> mustafa: sftp is over ssh, so you need a ssh client
[13:04] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: I'm not *hugely* surprised if there hasn't been any updates
[13:05] <tsimpson> mustafa: you should already have sftp on the command line, as your file manager probably does sftp too with sftp:// URLs
[13:06] <k4jcw> Up untul recently it seems like I see them every few days. Particularly for some of the libraries. Oh well, guess we'll just wait and see :)
[13:06] <gordonjcp> 13.04 is pretty stable now, it's been out a couple of months
[13:06] <k4jcw> Hey, time to move to bleeding edge, then! :)
[13:06] <k4jcw> I <3 unstable systems.
[13:07] <gordonjcp> if you're not using anything too outré with it then you might not see updates for a while ;-)
[13:09] <k4jcw> gordonjcp, thanks for your help. I gotta take off and get ready to take the dogs up to the park for a "play date". (helps keep them well socialized).
[13:10] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: yup
[13:10] <gordonjcp> k4jcw: 73 de mm0yeq
[13:10] <acovrig> what exactly does nomodeset do?
[13:10] <gordonjcp> acovrig: disables kernel mode setting
[13:11] <acovrig> gordonjcp: because I couldn't boot without it, what should I do to fix it?
[13:11] <gordonjcp> acovrig: add it into your grub config, I guess
[13:12] <acovrig> gordonjcp: what would cause me to all of a sudden need it, I've never needed it before...
[13:12] <gordonjcp> acovrig: no idea.  Kernel update?
[13:13] <acovrig> I'm wondering, without the setting, the screen goes blank after running /scripts/init-bottom (or something like that), the last line I see (in verbose boot) is something about EXT...
[13:14] <acovrig> odd, I just commented out a drive in /etc/fstab that I don't have plugged in (going bad?), left nomadset off and it booted fine O.o I wonder if it was waiting for me to press s to skip mounting...
[13:14] <acovrig> boot takes longer though...
[13:16] <adv> bye 4 now
[13:17] <Gosset_Inofensiu> Hello, I expose my doubt: I have an external HD in NTFS format, I've already stored lots of data, and I want to encrypt all these information, but I'm afraid that I should have create an encrypted volume before storing info in the HD... any suggestions?
[13:20] <bekks> Gosset_Inofensiu: Backup the data, encrypt the hdd, create an encrypted linux filesystem.
[13:20] <gordonjcp> Gosset_Inofensiu: if the hard disk is less than half full you might be able to split it into two partitons, encrypt one and copy everything across
[13:20] <gordonjcp> Gosset_Inofensiu: but as bekks says, you're going to want to back up the disk anyway
[13:20] <Gosset_Inofensiu> ok that's what i was afraid of
[13:21] <Gosset_Inofensiu> and if I just want to put a password, not encrypt all the data?
[13:21] <bekks> How is that supposed to protect something?
[13:21] <Gosset_Inofensiu> there is no app to achieve that?
[13:21] <bekks> If you want a password, write it down on a post-it. :)
[13:22] <Gosset_Inofensiu> but how I assign a password to the existing data on the HD
[13:22] <Gosset_Inofensiu> I'm a newbie sorry
[13:22] <bekks> Gosset_Inofensiu: You have to encrypt that disk. "Assigning a password" is - pretty pointless.
[13:23] <Gosset_Inofensiu> so my Ubuntu system is not secure? I
[13:23] <Gosset_Inofensiu> I have my user account protected with a password
[13:24] <bekks> Gosset_Inofensiu: It isnt encrypted.
[13:24] <bekks> Gosset_Inofensiu: You are mixing up login protection (aka password) with encryption.
[13:24] <Gosset_Inofensiu> I know there is no totally secure system but..
[13:24] <Mackwerk> Hi! I've installed ubuntu 13.04 on my Asus Zenbook UX32VD but it still boots directly into windows 7, but if I try to install ubuntu again this shows up in the partition manager :o http://mackwerk.dk/ubuntu.JPG - I have no idea how to get it to boot into ubuntu though :|
[13:24] <Gosset_Inofensiu> yes I am bekks
[13:24] <Gosset_Inofensiu> my question n. 2 was that
[13:25] <Gosset_Inofensiu> login protection is secure?
[13:25] <Gosset_Inofensiu> on Ubuntu
[13:25] <bekks> Gosset_Inofensiu: Yes.
[13:25] <Gosset_Inofensiu> ok
[13:25] <Gosset_Inofensiu> thanks for the info
[13:25] <nevyn> Mackwerk: you need to press f12 or something to bring up the uefi boot selection dialog i
[13:25] <nevyn> most likely

[14:53] <xvzf> Webuntu: I can, but that does not help
[14:59] <valroadie> I would just like to ask a general question. When I convert a video using DeVeDe into an .iso to burn to a dvd using Brasero, the movie always turns out to have sound missing every 2-4 minutes or so, it will cut out for like a second but it does it through the whole movie. This happens with multiple movies as well. I was wondering if this is normal?
[15:00] <nimesh> hi again
[15:00] <valroadie> I use the slowest burning speed and don't do ANYTHING with the computer when it is converting and burning so...any ideas on why it would? Bad hardware maybe? I don't know, I have had bad problems with media on linux anyways, I just wanted some opinions.
[15:00] <nimesh> does anyone know how to make ubuntu exteramly fast
[15:01] <valroadie> Nimesh: it is already fast! ;) You could find a a distro with minimal install like puppy linux or something.
[15:01] <nimesh> it is fast but i want it faster
[15:02] <nimesh> i have 512mb ram on me laptop
[15:02] <jacks> How to add hibernation facility in ubuntu?
[15:02] <Baribal_> nimesh, for OS-level tweaks, take a look at a self-compiled distro, but most performance improvements come from better hardware; more RAM, SSD instead of HDD and so on.
[15:03] <kostkon> valroadie, i have done it 3-4 times, imported episodes in devede, (made a custom menu) and then burned the iso with brasero, everything went as normal. i would try with a different dvd writer and maybe with another brand of discs?
[15:03] <nimesh> ok and is there any good app to download cuz i'm bord
[15:03] <nimesh> and how to get adb tools
[15:03] <BluesKaj> valroadie, devede is hit and miss in my experience , if youi don't mind trying a cli app that works very well and has dedicated supprt on irc try tovid and it's related apps , not foolprof but it's better than anythging i ever tried
[15:05] <tgary> Hi! I'm trying to configure bridge with network-manager, but when I try to connect, it logs to syslog: "Device given by path did not match connection's virtual interface name". How can I solve this problem?
[15:05] <valroadie> kostkon BluesKaj Thanks you guys for the suggestions. I will try better discs as the ones I used were the mid range priced ones at wal mart, memorex or something. I am willing to try anything haha so I will take a look at tovid as well. Thanks a bunch guys!

[15:13] <cretsiah> ok so i got ubuntu12.04LTS installed, i got dvd's + avi's + mp4's playing,I had interent access,  BUT now i have rebooted the system it is in a loop of connection and disconnection but firefox cannot find the web this is really starting to bug me
[15:14] <compdoc> cretsiah, did you install a driver or something?
[15:15] <cretsiah> i attached a usb-hub
[15:16] <o123hallo> Hello, what can I do when I need a package which is not availabe in ubuntu (but is needed for our programm we want to package for ubuntu)
[15:16] <o123hallo> the packages missing are python-alemibc (for python3) and python-cherrpy (for python3 as well)
[15:16] <bekks> o123hallo: Then you have to create that package on your own, or you have to find a PPA for it.
[15:17] <o123hallo> bekks: is there not a place to request it? Like "voting" the most needed packages?
[15:17] <Mackwerk> o123hallo, have you tried pip?
[15:17] <bekks> o123hallo: No, there isnt.
[15:18] <o123hallo> Mackwerk: we want to package it. our programm (openlp) is already in your repos, but we are moving to python3 (and I use Arch Linux btw)
[15:18] <varunendra> cretsiah, is it a fresh installation? How long did you have a stable connection?
[15:18] <bekks> o123hallo: So you have to packkage everything thats needed but not yet packaged.
[15:20] <cretsiah> its pretty fresh as in today, and i only just finished getting all the media crap all fixed up, then decided to shut it down to attach a 4 potrt usb hub to the back of the machine and reboot
[15:21] <o123hallo> it is possible to trigger PIP installs when installing a package? (sry, I am just not familiar with ubuntu anymore)
[15:21] <cretsiah> previous connection was stable for 2hrs
[15:22] <varunendra> cretsiah, please show us the output of - "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net". If it is a USB adapter, then the output of "lsusb". Upload the output to pastebin and post here the pastebin link.
[15:22] <Mackwerk> o123hallo, wouldn't you just need the source to package them?
[15:24] <o123hallo> Mackwerk: building and installing alembic is not difficult (just python build ... and python install), I do not know about cherrypy. I just think that pip is easier
[15:24] <Mackwerk> o123hallo, sooo download it with pip?
[15:25] <Mackwerk> I don't see the problem with the packages not being available in ubuntu when they are available in pip?
[15:25] <varunendra> hey oldos2er ! :D
[15:26] <o123hallo> Mackwerk: yes, I could use PIP, but we want to offer our package in the repo. WE don't want to tell your uses that they have to install other packages with pip
[15:27] <Mackwerk> Why not just pack your software with the python packages?
[15:28] <o123hallo> Mackwerk: that's what we'll have to do... unfortunately....
[15:28] <roasted> Hello friends
[15:29] <o123hallo> Mackwerk: thanks for your time
[15:29] <roasted> Is anybody having issues with software center? I haven't been able to open it for a week. It just keeps crashing when I open it.
[15:29] <o123hallo> bekks: thanks to you as well
[15:32] <varunendra> roasted, do you get any error messages when it crashes?
[15:33] <roasted> varunendra: no. Do you know the command to run it from terminal?
[15:34] <varunendra> roasted, not USC, but you can try "sudo apt-get update". Does it return errors? Show us its pastebin link if it does.
[15:34] <roasted> varunendra: nah, I've ran apt-get update dozens of times since last week then USC began farting on me.
[15:35] <varunendra> roasted, no "can not lock.." type errors ? Or "not found ..." type?
[15:35] <roasted> varunendra: I haven't seen anything like that, no
[15:36] <chrisirc> I created a scribus document on Ubuntu that refers to "Arial Black Regular" and "Arial Regular" and "Norasi Regular"; do you happen to know which font package those fonts are in?
[15:37] <chrisirc> (I need to open that document on Debian and missing the fonts there, and instead of trying all the packages that refer to arial or norasi I'd rather just install the same package there was on Ubuntu;
[15:37] <chrisirc> I'm sitting on Debian right now although I could walk over to the room with the Ubuntu station if necessary.)
[15:38] <varunendra> roasted, terminal command to launch USC - "software-center", although I don't think I can offer any help specific to it..
[15:38] <roasted> varunendra: bingo. got errors with that.
[15:38] <roasted> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5852888/
[15:39] <cretsiah> varunendra did you want the ethernet part of that first command? or just the wifi bit?
[15:40] <varunendra> cretsiah, just wifi
[15:41] <cretsiah> ok  nearly done then
[15:45] <cretsiah> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5852913/
[15:45] <palomer> how do I install the latest nvidia proprietary drivers?
[15:45] <varunendra> roasted, looks like an error in the package itself. You should try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and/or "sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center".
[15:46] <roasted> varunendra: already did.
[15:46] <roasted> varunendra: just found this bug. I already commented to it. - https://bugs.launchpad.net/software-center/+bug/1179462
[15:48] <cretsiah> dont know if that helps any varunendra http://paste.ubuntu.com/5852913/
[15:49] <varunendra> cretsiah, try - "sudo modprobe -rfv rt61pci"...... then ............ "sudo modprobe -v rt61pci nohwcrypt=Y". Don't reboot after this, try to connect and see if there is improvement.
[15:52] <cretsiah> that is -RFV? imonly asking cos the letter in small cap are hard to read
[15:53] <varunendra> cretsiah, all small letters. No caps.
[15:53] <varunendra> and yeah, it is -RFV in small letters
[15:53] <cretsiah> cool
[15:53] <awdas>  So i install newest ubuntu on Virtualbox. But i getting error "piix4_smbus 0<IP_ADDRESS>: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade bios or use force_addr=0xaddr"
[15:53] <awdas>  i look in google, and there people say that this error not effect anything
[15:54] <awdas> but i cant connect to internet inside VBox
[15:54] <awdas> please help
[15:54] <sebrock> hey I have a VPN up. So how do I route everything through it?
[15:54] <yebyen> sebrock: what kind of vpn
[15:55] <sebrock> yebyen: L2TP/IPSec
[15:55] <varunendra> awdas, what kind of network have you setup in VBox? NAT?
[15:55] <awdas> yes NAT
[15:55] <yebyen> sebrock: i know how to do it with OpenVPN, but the principle should be the same
[15:55] <sebrock> yebyen: shoot!
[15:56] <ExpertIT> hi all
[15:56] <yebyen> sebrock: your gw box needs to have ip forwarding on, and you need to add a rule to iptables such that the clients you want to have tunneled are allowed to use you as a gw
[15:56] <ExpertIT> e ae galera
[15:57] <varunendra> awdas, have you made sure it is "Enabled"? And have you "Guest Additions" installed (although this shouldn't affect networking)?
[15:57] <yebyen> sebrock: ip forwarding is enabled in /sys (kernel level thing) by echo 1 to some file
[15:57] <sebrock> yebyen: so I have tried to add a route to a specific IP just to test and it works
[15:57] <sebrock> yebyen: that is already done
[15:57] <pranav1> I have dual boot in EFI system. The only that I set up 1st in the boot priority boots. Every time I have to change BIOS. without it, says EFI error. Please guide!
[15:58] <awdas> yes networking is enabled. So i must install Guest Additions ?
[15:58] <sebrock> so I know it works for that specific IP, or any specific IP. But how do I set it to make so ALL traffic goes through ppp0
[15:58] <varunendra> cretsiah, the change I suggested is temporary, will be lost at reboot. Let me know if it seems to help, then we can make it permanent.
[15:58] <CaiqueF> What is the best office for ubuntu?
[15:58] <varunendra> awdas, yes, do it first.
[15:58] <yebyen> sebrock: i believe /sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward has to have a 1 instead of a 0 in it, first and foremost
[15:58] <indystorm> hi
[15:58] <sebrock> yebyen: it is
[15:58] <yebyen> sebrock: then, two out of three from this: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#redirect
[15:58] <pranav1> I have dual boot in EFI system. The only 1 that I set up 1st in the boot priority boots. Every time I have to change BIOS. Without it, it says EFI error. Please guide!
[15:59] <sebrock> yebyen: which two?
[15:59] <yebyen> sebrock: "push routes" is the part that would differ, you need the client to make the l2tp gateway its default route
[15:59] <CaiqueF> What is the best office for ubuntu?
[15:59] <sebrock> yebyen: this is the client
[15:59] <bekks> !best | CaiqueF
[16:00] <varunendra> !UEFI | pranav1
[16:00] <pranav1> I have dual boot in UEFI system. The only 1 that I set up 1st in the boot priority boots. Every time I have to change BIOS. Without it, it says EFI error. Please guide!
[16:00] <pranav1> varunendra: my problem is sth else.. I can boot both OSes
[16:01] <pranav1> its just that I need to set them 1st in priority
[16:01] <cretsiah> varunendra nope didint appear todo anything
[16:01] <yebyen> sebrock: this seems to cover exactly what you wanted to do http://vitobotta.com/l2tp-ipsec-vpn-server/
[16:02] <varunendra> cretsiah, then follow thid post and give us the pastebin link to the diagnostics report : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385
[16:02] <sebrock> yebyen: no, I am configuring the client not a server
[16:03] <awdas> I cant do apt-get install dkms, becouse there is no internet connection. From where i can download them in .deb or other installer ?
[16:03] <varunendra> pranav1, what are the two OSes?
[16:03] <yebyen> sebrock: ah i see, on the mac it seems to be as simple as "send all traffic over vpn connection"
[16:03] <pranav1> varunendra: ubuntu 12.04.02 and windows 8
[16:03] <gmachine_24> greetings. I want to search for files >1 GB from the CLI. What is the command I use? Thanks.
[16:03] <sebrock> yebyen: I know this. I am however configuring through terminal
[16:03] <sebrock> on a ubuntu machine
[16:04] <pranav1> varunendra: there is not a single word "priority" mentioned in the page you sent.
[16:04] <nimesh> hey can anyone help me use adb on ubuntu
[16:04] <pranav1> the only thing that I do is change the priority
[16:04] <kanliot> what's the right way to install spotify?
[16:04] <varunendra> pranav1, was win8 preinstalled ? Is Ubuntu 64 bit? As far as I know, you can only prioritize boot devices, not OSes in BIOS.
[16:05] <pranav1> varunendra: Both are 64bit
[16:05] <pranav1> wait..
[16:05] <yebyen> sebrock: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec_VPN_client_setup#Routing_all_traffic_through_the_tunnel
[16:05] <yebyen> sebrock: it's as easy as i would have imagined, had I any imagination
[16:06] <awdas> im lame :D found now
[16:06] <stomanata> Hi,  i have problems with my cardreader.  If i switch to windows all is OK. Here is dmesg:  http://paste.debian.net/14836/
[16:06] <pranav1> varunendra: There are "boot options priorities" in boot section my BIOS. Whatever I set up in option 1 only boots.
[16:06] <yebyen> sebrock: make sure you add a route to your real local gateway for the IP that hosts your vpn
[16:07] <varunendra> pranav1, what are those options? By name..
[16:07] <Actionparsnip> Stomanata: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a
[16:07] <pranav1> varunendra: the heading is Boot Option Priority
[16:07] <yebyen> sebrock: then, make the default route your vpn's gw's private address... and delete your old default route
[16:08] <pranav1> varunendra: Version 2.15.1226 2012 Americal Megatrends, Inc.
[16:08] <pranav1> varunendra: do you know ?
[16:08] <stomanata> here is the output:  http://paste.debian.net/14837/
[16:09] <stomanata> may be i need to install lsb*****
[16:09] <Actionparsnip> Stomanata: no
[16:09] <varunendra> pranav1, yes American Megatrends BIOS is used in Asus boards. But that is not relevant. What are the options that you can set/prioritize to affect boot order?
[16:09] <Actionparsnip>  Stomanata : that's normal
[16:09] <stomanata> ok, but it can`t read my sd card
[16:10] <pranav1> varunendra: fast boot, launch CSM, Boot option priorities
[16:10] <pranav1> and nothing much
[16:10] <Actionparsnip>  Stomanata : do you log in to lightdm as root or did you sudo  up to root in the terminal?
[16:10] <pranav1> varunendra: are the options that exist
[16:10] <zinc1> hello, networking question I did a netstat and noticed local address <IP_ADDRESS>:45602 and a foreign address connect to barbadine.canonica:http. just curious why I have an odd local address instead of a .local address
[16:10] <pranav1> in the security there is secure menu boot control as well
[16:10] <varunendra> pranav1, so what do you set in option 1 to boot win8, and what do you set for ubuntu?
[16:11] <stomanata> as user i open termimal, then  su, then root password
[16:11] <yebyen> sebrock: did it work?  or are you gone because of bad advice
[16:11] <Smaug> hey all, I am having difficulty connecting to irc on my ubuntu 12.04 desktop (am on windows right now).  I've tried both empathy and kvirc, so I'm thinking it's related to ubuntu and not to a particular software not working.  Should I check some firewall settings or something?  Any thoughts?
[16:12] <varunendra> pranav1, you said "Whatever I set up in option 1 only boots." What are those options?
[16:12] <sebrock> yebyen: still here. taking a phone call now
[16:12] <Actionparsnip> Stomanata : ok. You do realise that: sudo -i does the same and you can leave root locked....
 reinstall a irc using manager synaptic
[16:13] <pranav1> varunendra: I go to my BIOS. And then under the Boot section. I have a list called "boot option priorities". When I put Ubuntu in 1st. Win8 goes to 2nd in the list. And as I said before. Whatever I set in 1st only works. When I try to boot the other. It says me "Invalid DriveMap file, EFI error"
[16:13] <Actionparsnip> Stomanata : when you last removed the sd card from a system, did you use the safe remove feature in the OS before physically removing it?
[16:13] <pranav1> varunendra: huh
[16:13] <yebyen> sebrock: ok, was concerned that if i told you the wrong thing, you wouldn't be able to report back :)
[16:13] <sebrock> yebyen: phone brb :)
[16:13] <Actionparsnip> ExpertIT: why synaptic?
[16:14] <stomanata> yes. always use safe to remove card
[16:14] <stomanata> if now i switch to windows it will work.
[16:14] <Actionparsnip> Stomanata : great :-) What file system do you use on the card?
[16:15] <stomanata> mmmm. i can`t answer
[16:15] <varunendra> pranav1, that is something new for me. I have very little experience with EFI setups. But do you have "Secure Boot" enabled in Windows/BIOS? If so, try turning it off.
[16:15] <stomanata> now after i pull out and push the card
[16:15] <stomanata> system recognize it :)
[16:15] <Smaug> expertIT, so I should install synaptic first? why is it better than apt-get or the software manager that comes with ubuntu?
[16:15] <ExpertIT> so it remove all additional packages that are not working and reinstall
[16:15] <Actionparsnip> Stomanata : ahh cool
[16:15] <stomanata> if you need now i can show some other output until it work
[16:15] <Smaug> ok
[16:16] <pranav1> varunendra: i already told you. i tried those hit and trial that are most frequently mentioned in the pages (like 1 you sent)
[16:16] <stomanata> but it`s not good idea to pull in and out card until system recognize it
[16:17] <varunendra> pranav1, If secure boot is turned off, and you installed Ubuntu AFTER win8 as recommended on that page, I can't think of a reason for that error to come up. Can't help beyond that. Probably you should try Ubuntu Forums.
[16:18] <Morph4me> he /she left
[16:18] <varunendra> :/
[16:18] <zinc1> anybody know what the server barbadine.canonical:http is used for?
[16:19] <rainbowwarrior> HI All , I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and I keep getting an error saying im low on disk space , but i have deleted a few things yet my hard drive is still getting full , anyone got any idea how to fix this please ?
[16:20] <ExpertIT> everyone used browser tails?
[16:21] <varunendra> rainbowwarrior, give us the pastebin link of "df -h | pastebinit"
[16:22] <Estrobeda> i have a small fast question, i run ubuntu on asus k53sm laptop, the processor works pretty hard and the battery life has been reduced, i havent installed anything but updates and netflix desktop, should it be like this or is there someting wrong?
[16:23] <occ> i am looking to buy a laptop, i know the network/wifi card it has.... is there a list of wifi cards compatible with ubuntu anywhere? by compatible i mean works out the box without the need for ndiswrapper or any config
[16:25] <varunendra> occ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[16:25] <Neroon> Hi there. Does anybody here know a thing or two about wifi?
[16:26] <occ> thanks varun
[16:26] <varunendra> np :)
[16:26] <occ> neroon just ask your question
[16:27] <Neroon> How do I unblock a hard blocked wifi usb on a desktop pc with linux?
[16:27] <varunendra> Estrobeda, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity on my asus x54c with no difference in battery usage between Win7 and Ubuntu. Make sure you have proper drivers installed.
[16:28] <Estrobeda> ok, im pretty new on ubuntu i have only used it some days, how do i make sure the proper drivers are installed?
[16:29] <ExpertIT> i use XFCE in my opinion is more stable than unity
[16:29] <varunendra> Neroon, sometimes (miraculously, unexpectedly) "sudo rfkill unblock all" works. But most of the time it is either a hardware switch (Fn key combo, etc.) or BIOS.
[16:29] <cretsiah> varunendra ive got the file but i wont do anything till later today as it is 2am and my baby is likely to be up at 7am so goodnight
[16:29] <varunendra> good night cretsiah ! :)
[16:30] <Neroon> varunendra: I know about rfkill, but that doesn't help. Tried it several times, even with different distributions and 3 diff. pcs.
[16:31] <Neroon> varunendra: And my keyboard doesn't have fn keys and I doubt, the pc would even know what to do with them ;-)
[16:31] <varunendra> Estrobeda, just check "Additional Drivers" and see if there are any drivers suggested. You can additionally install "powertop" program to check and set recommended settings to save power (sudo apt-get install powertop)
[16:32] <Estrobeda> ok thank you
[16:32] <varunendra> Neroon, oh yeah, I forgot while typing that you mentioned PC ;). Just try resetting BIOS then, if it is not a UEFI setup or there is no other problem doing that.
[16:33] <lunarjar> How to remove the Desktop folder from /home ?
[16:33] <lunarjar> you can put it into trash but it comes back
[16:34] <Neroon> varunendra: np ;-) But I doubt resetting the bios would do any good. As I tried it on three PCs. And I forgot to mention, that it works on an old WinXP
[16:34] <Gabriel403> What's the magical package selection thing used when installling ubuntu server? The thing that lets you select lamp mail server etc
[16:34] <sebrock> these are my current routes: http://pastebin.ca/2420094 how do I use the VPN ppp0 for all traffic. Everything takes the normal route now
[16:34] <k1l> Gabriel403: tasksel?
[16:35] <Gabriel403> That's the bugger, tah
[16:35] <varunendra> Neroon, do you know what chip it is using? and whether it has proper driver installed?
[16:35] <rainbowwarrior> sorry about that varunendra
[16:35] <rainbowwarrior> varunendra :- http://paste.ubuntu.com/5853033/
[16:36] <Neroon> varunendra: afair the right driver was installed. Even did a rmmod and a modprobe with no effect
[16:36] <varunendra> what chip, Neroon
[16:37] <Neroon> varunendra: Sorry, RTL8187L
[16:37] <_ffio_> ubuntu is using init type scripts or systemd ?
[16:37] <varunendra> rainbowwarrior, have you used "Disk Usage Analyser" to see what is occupying most of the space?
[16:37] <rainbowwarrior> no
[16:38] <theadmin> _ffio_: Ubuntu uses Upstart, it's own init system
[16:38] <_ffio_> theadmin: ok :)
[16:38] <mirak> hi
[16:38] <mirak> can bios_grub partition be other than first partition in gpt ?
[16:39] <X-Sleepy-X> lunarjar: You could perhaps just hide that folder. To do this run the following command in a terminal: echo "Desktop" ~/.hidden
[16:40] <X-Sleepy-X> lunarjar: Sorry, the command should be: echo "Desktop" > ~/.hidden
[16:41] <Umair> do you know any short book about "C on Ubuntu"? I am starting to teach someone who knows nothing about programming
[16:41] <Umair> ...preferably with exercises
[16:42] <theadmin> Umair: C is *not* a good language to start with programming, if you ask me...
[16:42] <varunendra> rainbowwarrior, try that and see if you can get account of that much usage. Only solution is to move the data to another drive.
[16:42] <Umair> theadmin: which is it then?
[16:43] <theadmin> Umair: But really, this is offtopic here... You can PM me if you wish
[16:43] <Umair> ah ok
[16:43] <sam113101> learn ruby
[16:43] <sam113101> then learn rails, then be happy
[16:44] <Neroon> varunendra: If you got any clue what else I might try... I've got to reconnect. brb
[16:44] <rainbowwarrior> ok thank you varunendra
[16:45] <varunendra> rainbowwarrior, you can get additional 5-6 gb right now, but that's not going to help much
[16:45] <rainbowwarrior> ok
[16:46] <varunendra> wanna try that? rainbowwarrior
[16:46] <rainbowwarrior> sure varunendra
[16:47] <varunendra> rainbowwarrior, by default 5% of space is "reserved" for root. That is about 7 GB for your partition. We can reduce it to 1% which would be large enough to serve its purpose.
[16:47] <rainbowwarrior> ok thank you varunendra
[16:48] <varunendra> rainbowwarrior, do - "sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda1"
[16:49] <occ> i found this page    http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#supported ,  the wifi card i am looking at is BCM43142 , this webpage says it is not supported... does this mean it won't run out the box on ubuntu live cd? it is a new high end sony laptop so i am surprised if it wouldnnt be compatible?  i currently have a cheap netbook, a mini pc, and a pc -all their wifi cards worked with ubuntu out the box
[16:49] <rainbowwarrior> ok done thank you Varazir
[16:49] <rainbowwarrior> varunendra, *
[16:49] <Varazir> :P
[16:49] <Varazir> :)
[16:49] <varunendra> :)
[16:49] <rainbowwarrior> tab fail lol
[16:50] <rainbowwarrior> :o)
[16:50] <Varazir> rainbowwarrior: no problem :)
[16:53] <varunendra> occ, found something more about it?
[16:53] <occ> varun, thats all i found so far
[16:54] <occ> wouldnt it be expected that ubuntu should come with drivers for the new high end laptops?
[16:56] <varunendra> occ, yeah, that card is only supported by the proprietary driver "wl", whose performance is not guaranteed. If you are choosing from broadcom, see if you can find one that is supported by b43 (won't work out-of-box, but is easy enough)
[16:56] <varunendra> occ, broadcom devices have mostly licencing issues. That's all :)
[16:56] <occ> so broadcom is one of those companies that likes to cripple their products on purpose
[16:58] <occ> ok, the other laptop i was looking at, has the network card: qualcomm atheros ar5bmd222 , would this more likley work with ubuntu out the box? i cant find anything about it online yet
[16:59] <varunendra> occ, actually I find troubleshooting broadcoms pretty easy and one or two-step job. Once they work (which is most of times), they are stable too. But yeah, the licensing issue sucks.
[16:59] <occ> i see
[17:00] <jewisharistocrat> anyone having issues with the gnome shell extensions site?
[17:00] <sasha-> I was just wondering, why is lftp faster than FileZilla?
[17:00] <sasha-> I'm almost maxing out my connection with it, whilst FileZilla uses about half my bandwidth...
[17:01] <jewisharistocrat> you have to configure filezilla
[17:05] <fatius> anyone remember the package that lets you change the GTK+ keyboard theme easily?
[17:06] <Rail_Haskell> Hi.How to remove Top Panel on Second Monitor Only, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Thank you.:)
[17:06] <occ> does ubuntu studio come with the exact same drivers as ubuntu(the 12.04  LTS versions)?   so if audio, video, wifi work on a laptop with ubuntu -everything will also work ubuntu studio?
[17:07] <theadmin> occ: Generally, all the officially supported Ubuntu derivatives come with the same driver set, yes
[17:07] <occ> i see admin. thanks
[17:08] <varunendra> occ, I got disconnected. Did you follow the link I gave you? It is further linked to categorized pages where users have also shared their personal experience, and workaround if needed. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported)
[17:09] <occ> varunendra yeh i saw it thanks. i think what ill do is make a ubuntu usb and bring it into the shop. they said i could test it on the display models. best way to be sure
[17:10] <varunendra> Definitely best :)
[17:11] <occ> just wondering if i should spend £400 on a 13" (768p) laptop, or £800 on a 15" (1080p)
[17:11] <brontosaurusrex> occ, depends on how old you are, my old 12" eee is almost completely unreadable for me
[17:12] <occ> im 28. yeh ill calculate the ppi's of them too
[17:12] <brontosaurusrex> occ, you should be fine with 13"
[17:12] <occ> yeh. i have a 9 inch netbook which is usable

[17:14] <yebyen> sebrock: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/L2TP/IPsec_VPN_client_setup#Routing_all_traffic_through_the_tunnel
[17:14] <yebyen> sebrock: you have to add a route to the VPN server only, through your current gateway
[17:14] <Rail_Haskell> Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.:)
[17:14] <Iosu-Ven> Thanks!
[17:15] <yebyen> sebrock: then delete the last route in that list you pastebin'ed
[17:15] <yebyen> sebrock: that's the competing default route, you want the VPN server to be your default route (but first you must ensure that it can be reached)
[17:15] <yebyen> sebrock: and you may have issues renewing your dhcp lease after that from what I'm reading
[17:16] <yebyen> sebrock: so, once you are sure that you can still reach the VPN server through a non-default route, replace your default route
[17:19] <Hamsten> in make kernel i got some problem.
[17:19] <Hamsten> could anyone can help me
[17:19] <Hamsten> error link: http://t.co/8UpgB0QqOe
[17:20] <mikubuntu> so, trying to get this dell d600 latitude working -- won't boot from cd, won't boot from usb -- just watched this vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEeHxopvR3I) to find the hdd, and it indeed has one in it. but trying to boot from hdd computer says 'no bootable devices'
[17:21] <Cheery> libclang provides it's own bindings, but I can't find them from ubuntu repository
[17:21] <Cheery> why?
[17:21] <kanliot> mikubuntu, is the hard drive making bad noises?
[17:22] <mikubuntu> kanliot -- no noise at all
[17:22] <kanliot> it should really boot from cd
[17:22] <kanliot> what cd did you use?
[17:22] <Kitt3n> mikubuntu, is the usb / dvd/cd boot options set before the hard drive in the bios?
[17:23] <ubuntu890> plz give me site to paste a big series of text in for you
[17:23] <mikubuntu> kanliot -- i thought maybe the cd drive was faulty, so i tried a usb -- both of them i set for one time boot, and neither worked
[17:23] <mikubuntu> sorry, i mean Kitt3n
[17:24] <Kitt3n> mikubuntu, try set it to boot USB permanently, and disable anything else if you can.
[17:25] <mikubuntu> Kitt3n: ok, gimme a min
[17:25] <Neroon> mikubuntu: Are you sure the usb stick is bootable at all? Tried it on a  another pc/laptop?
[17:25] <kanliot> thats a 2004 laptop.  usb not gonna work 4 sure
[17:26] <Neroon> kanliot: not true, there is a boot cd with which you can boot from usb
[17:26] <mikubuntu> neroon, yes tried it out on my other laptop
[17:26] <sebrock> yebyen: best would be if I could route only certain traffic though the vpn. Like bittorret traffic only
[17:26] <kanliot> :(
[17:26] <AngolmoisDude> hello all, I have a problem, I cannot install ATI driver to my Ubuntu 13.04 + ATI 6850 gpu, I tried almost every method but there is still problem wich is blank screen later on installing GPU driver
[17:26] <Neroon> mikubuntu: afaik the dell600 latitude can't boot from usb directly
[17:26] <AngolmoisDude> has any of u guys faced and solved this problem?
[17:27] <auronandace> !nomodeset | AngolmoisDude
[17:27] <mikubuntu> neroon, forgot what afaik means :(
[17:27] <auronandace> mikubuntu: as far as i know
[17:27] <mikubuntu> neroon, but bios definitely has boot order to include usb storage device
[17:28] <Neroon> mikubuntu: as far as i know
[17:28] <AngolmoisDude> auronandace ubottu u guys are very  cool thanks for sharing, I'm gonna try that
[17:28] <Neroon> mikubuntu: hm, and you tried more than one different cds to boot from?
[17:29] <mikubuntu> neroon, and permanent boot order seems to be usb, cd/dvd/cdrw, internal hdd, diskette drive, modular bay hdd, carbus nic, d/dock/pci slot nic, onboard nic
[17:29] <gordonjcp> mikubuntu: how did you create the USB stick?
[17:29] <Rail_Haskell> Hi.How to remove Top Panel on Second Monitor Only, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Thank you.:)
[17:30] <mikubuntu> gordon, created on startup disk or one of the others, maybe xfburn?
[17:30] <anshulk> hehehe i guess auronandace just got sure of what he said... who asked the full form of afaik :P
[17:30] <Neroon> gordonjcp: he said, it worked on another laptop
[17:30] <minilyn> windows touch + alt and right click
[17:30] <gordonjcp> Neroon: so it's known to work then
[17:31] <gordonjcp> mikubuntu: silly question I'm sure but it *is* a 32-bit install image, right?
[17:31] <Neroon> mikubuntu: you might want to try this: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/full.html
[17:31] <gordonjcp> because 2004 sounds like it's going to be 32-bit hardware
[17:31] <mikubuntu> gordonjcp: yes, 32bit
[17:31] <Neroon> mikubuntu: with that boot cd you can boot from usb on any laptop/pc
[17:32] <draconus> is there an expect replacement?
[17:32] <gordonjcp> mikubuntu: well if the laptop won't boot, swap the drive into somethng else and install on that
[17:33] <mikubuntu> gordonjcp: hmmmm ... not sure i'm capable
[17:33] <mikubuntu> is there any way to get a term up to troubleshoot?
[17:33] <Hamsten> .looked no one can help me..
[17:34] <varunendra> mikubuntu, you may try the network installer if you have another pc available : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads (netboot)
[17:34] <Neroon> mikubuntu: not if you're stuck before you can boot anything

[17:35] <mikubuntu> varunendra, gonna look, but don't know how i would do network install if i can't boot at all?
[17:35] <matematikaadit> I've accidentally uninstall unity. Then as suggested before, I've run `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop`. But...
[17:36] <k1l> matematikaadit: but …?
[17:36] <Kitt3n> matematikaadit, Okay? But what?
[17:36] <matematikaadit> when login as myself, there are no top-panel and launcher show up. But when login as guest, the unity desktop works normally.
[17:37] <fernir> Can anyone help me with wine? There is no any activity in #winehq
[17:37] <mikubuntu> it seems odd that its not recognising hdd, usb, or cd drive -- can't believe all three would be faulty
[17:37] <samgabbay> hi i keep getting the same error wehen tying to install via wubi cause i have an old windows
[17:37] <samgabbay> here is my log
[17:37] <Kitt3n> matematikaadit, hmm, that sounds weird. Tried KDE? :P
[17:37] <matematikaadit> I could reproduce it in virtual box. Is this a bug?
[17:37] <Kitt3n> fernir, shoot! :)
[17:38] <k1l> samgabbay: wubi :(
[17:38] <samgabbay> and im tying to install xubuntu after installing ubuntu
[17:38] <varunendra> mikubuntu, just set your bios to boot from the onboard NIC, while the netboot is running on the other pc and the laptop is connected to it (preferably directly via cross cable)
[17:38] <matematikaadit> Kitt3n: now I'm using ubuntu-gnome-desktop

[17:41] <varunendra> mikubuntu, it is just a LAN cable, just the tx and rx pairs are reversed on the two ends of it.
[17:41] <Rail_Haskell> Hi.How to remove Top Panel on Second Monitor Only, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Thank you.:)
[17:41] <farciarz94> ok
[17:42] <varunendra> mikubuntu, if you try to boot from hdd, do you get the same error (no boot device or whatever you pasted)
[17:42] <mikubuntu> varunendra: so, it's just an ether cable connecting the two laptops?
[17:42] <crows> blankon
[17:42] <varunendra> mikubuntu, yes, but different from the one you use with switch or router
[17:43] <mikubuntu> varunendra: yes: Primary hard disk drive 0 not found
[17:43] <varunendra> slightly different in that its pairs are reversed ;)

[17:43] <minilyn> farciarz94: ubuntu is a prepackaged debian base with all commun utility for nobody who want friendly on the go
[17:43] <varunendra> mikubuntu, does the hdd show up in the BIOS?
[17:43] <mikubuntu> varunendra: so, i prolly don't have one in stock :(
[17:43] <mikubuntu> varunendra: let me look again
[17:44] <Kitt3n> Mackwerk, Did you install grub to the SSD?
[17:44] <carnicellamauroa> SALVE
[17:45] <varunendra> mikubuntu, do you have the normal cable (from switch/router to lappy/pc)? If so, I think it should work, but you *may* have to disable DHCP on your router.
[17:45] <carnicellamauroa> ITALY
[17:45] <grex25> Hello, is there a command to enable workspaces again? gconf? (13.04)
[17:45] <DJones> !it | carnicellamauroa

[17:45] <yankov> anyone knows how to hide these squares around application icons on the launcher?
[17:46] <yankov> very annoying
[17:46] <carnicellamauroa> GRAZIE OK
[17:46] <mikubuntu> varunendra: but it does have one, i found it, took it out and reinserted
[17:46] <jewisharistocrat> yankov, you cant
[17:46] <jewisharistocrat> unless you install something other than unity
[17:46] <yankov> jewisharistocrat: wat
[17:46] <k1l> yankov: use unity-tweak tool
[17:47] <varunendra> mikubuntu, primary or secondary.... no hdd at all? Probably a failed hdd then. What if you pull it out, then try to boot from the cd/usb without it plugged in..
[17:47] <yankov> k1l: thx, i'll look it up
[17:47] <jewisharistocrat> get rid of unity
[17:47] <mikubuntu> varunendra: thats whats strange -- that it says no hdd, and the cd drive nor usb are detected either -- can't believe all three are faulty at once
[17:47] <jewisharistocrat> go with something better
[17:47] <jewisharistocrat> like Gentoo
[17:47] <k1l> jewisharistocrat: stop that!
[17:47] <DJones> Jettis: Stop trolling
[17:47] <varunendra> mikubuntu, try resetting the BIOS.
[17:47] <yankov> gentoo is not fun
[17:47] <k1l> yankov: dont mind the troll
[17:47] <DJones> Jettis: Sorry, mistab on nick completion
[17:47] <Kitt3n> yankov, try KDE? :)
[17:48] <mikubuntu> varunendra: i could try that -- what do you mean ''reset" the bios -- you mean reset the boot order?
[17:48] <Mackwerk> Kitt3n, not sure what you mean :o I have windows 7 on my sad along with ubuntu
[17:48] <yankov> Kitt3n: i just don't like these squares, don't believe i should change the entire thing because of that
[17:48] <varunendra> mikubuntu, no, it means reset the BIOS to factory defaults
[17:48] <Mackwerk> Kitt3n, hold on, my irc client is buggy gotta reconnect
[17:48] <mikubuntu> ok, haven't ever done that
[17:49] <fernando> ola
[17:49] <mikubuntu> varunendra: ok, haven't ever done that before
[17:49] <Neroon> mikubuntu: do what varunendra said: take out the hdd and try to boot from usb or/and cd then
[17:49] <flux242> yankov: xfce ftw!
[17:49] <mikubuntu> varunendra: how? :)
[17:49] <Guest40315> oi
[17:49] <varunendra> usually that setting is located under "Exit" menu - by name "Load Defaults" or "Load Optimised Defaults.."
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> polloi
[17:49] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: sorry, back couldn't see messages

[17:52] <varunendra> Hello codemaniac ! Late night party at #ubuntu ? :P
[17:52] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: I have no idea actually, I think it may be UEFI? It came with windows 8 but I took that harddisk out and put in a new ssd. It's an ASUS Zenbook if you've heard of it'
[17:52] <Neroon> mikubuntu: did you hit f12 and select usb or cd?
[17:52] <Kitt3n> mackwerk, there's your problem.
[17:52] <minilyn> pc bios have fuction like f5 key while you press it on boot you can choose directly media to boot on it...
[17:52] <BluesKaj> mackwerk, W8 has uefi
[17:52] <mikubuntu> its already set to boot from usb first neroon
[17:52] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: But what is the problem?
[17:53] <mustafa_>  hi i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??

[17:53] <Neroon> mikubuntu: that's a toughie. well, reset the bios then. nothing to lose there
[17:53] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: So I should have a peek around in the BIOS?
[17:53] <Kitt3n> mackwerk, you also most likely installed Ubuntu in BIOS mode.
[17:53] <varunendra> mikubuntu, don't trust defaults (or what is 'set' in the BIOS). Sometimes the USB flash drive gets recognised as a hdd, sometimes even as a floppy ;)
[17:53] <Kitt3n> mackwerk, yes, look in the bios, for anything saying "UEFI: <stuff here>"
[17:53] <BluesKaj> !EFI | mackwerk
[17:54] <mikubuntu> any guidance on how to reset the bios neroon varunendra
[17:54] <Neroon> mikubuntu: hm, I have to look that up. don't know the dell600
[17:55] <mikubuntu> bios revision A14
[17:55] <Neroon> mikubuntu: But have you tried booting cd as well. It might be that it can't boot from usb
[17:55] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: There's nothing in the BIOS that says anything about UEFI but there is something that's called "Secure boot control" which is disabled
[17:55] <mikubuntu> neroon, yes tried cd as well
[17:55] <mustafa_>   help please any body  i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??
[17:56] <mikubuntu> thats why i say its strange that cd, usb, or hdd all not detected
[17:56] <Neroon> mikubuntu: it is. Could be a faulty bios
[17:57] <Kitt3n> mackwerk, secure boot should not be enabled, look at the boot order.
[17:57] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: it's disabled, by boot order do you mean the drive options? Cause there is only the big ssd, which has both os'es
[17:57] <matematikaadit> how do i check if unity is running or not?
[17:57] <mikubuntu> varunendra: neroon: don't see a bios reset in any of the seven pages of bios
[17:58] <Kitt3n> mackwerk, the USB, cd, HDD boot order IN the bios.
[17:58] <varunendra> mikubuntu, does it have an "Exit" tab?
[17:58] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: ok, there's only the ssd yep
[17:58] <mustafa_>   help please any body  i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??
[17:59] <Neroon> mikubuntu: Just looked for bios reset, cmos. Seems there is no easy way to reset a bios on a dell
[17:59] <varunendra> or anywhere options like "Load Setup Defaults" or "Load Optimised Defaults" . mikubuntu
[17:59] <Kitt3n> mackwerk, umm. Okay?
[17:59] <minilyn> to reset dell bios to default hit f2 to enter bios on boot process then f9 and f10 to confirm...that shoud be someting like this
[17:59] <mikubuntu> varunendra: looking
[17:59] <Neroon> varunendra: If it's a faulty bios that won't help. But it's worth a try
[18:00] <varunendra> Neroon, agree.
[18:01] <Neroon> varunendra: and since he can't access cd or usb he can't even flash it
[18:01] <varunendra> :P
[18:02] <occ> are ardour and jack mainly software dependant? what i mean is, if i have a laptop and ubuntu can playback sounds on it, then can i expect the full functionality of jack + ardour to also work?
[18:03] <minilyn> mikubuntu: have you try alt + f simultaneously ?
[18:03] <gordonjcp> occ: to an extent
[18:03] <mustafa_>   help please any body  i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??
[18:03] <gordonjcp> occ: depending on your hardware you may find you can't run at very low latencies
[18:03] <mikubuntu> varunendra: nope, can't find ... well -- if i can't do anything with it i guess i'll put it on the scrap heap (for a while) :P
[18:04] <mikubuntu> minilyn alt + f ?
[18:04] <minilyn> mikubuntu: to reset your bios ...into the bios menu
[18:04] <occ> ok gordon thanks
[18:05] <mikubuntu> minilyn so you mean with bios open just press alt and f
[18:05] <minilyn> mikubuntu: yep
[18:05] <mackwerk> Kitt3n: I think I found the main problem, when the machine loads the liveusb it says something about using secure boot before showing the grub screen where I can choose to try/install etc... But if I turn on secure boot control myself, I get to the grub screen but if I choose one of the items the sccreen just goes black ::o
[18:05] <mikubuntu> minilyn trying now
[18:07] <funtapaz> Does anyone know if Samsung has resolved the UEFI firmware issue present in some of their chronos laptops?
[18:07] <funtapaz> My google-fu seems insufficient.
[18:08] <mikubuntu> minilyn YES it did something because the boot order is all revised --- can we call an executive meeting varunendra neroon minilyn ?
[18:08] <funtapaz> I can't find any clear indication it has, or hasn't, been fixed.
[18:08] <varunendra> mikubuntu, can you see the hdd now? in the BIOS.
[18:08] <sebrock> connected to a VPN I can ping all IPs but no domain names. Having trouble with DNS. Can someone help me
[18:09] <mikubuntu> varunendra: nope, still says none :(
[18:09] <varunendra> mikubuntu, just pull it out, then try booting with the CD and/or USB.
[18:10] <mikubuntu> varunendra: yes its out
[18:10] <varunendra> mikubuntu, did you try to find it in BIOS when it was out ;)
[18:10] <Neroon> varunendra: lol
[18:11] <Neroon> varunendra: I dared not to ask that question
[18:11] <mikubuntu> neroon varunendra lol stop laughing at me, i've been a newbie since 7.04
[18:11] <Neroon> mikubuntu: I didn't laugh at you explicitly ;-)
[18:11] <varunendra> mikubuntu, lol, on reminding me my old days XD
[18:13] <mikubuntu> varunendra: ok, still not detecting hdd
[18:14] <mikubuntu> varunendra: and still won't boot usb -- i'll try the cd again, but don't have much hope
[18:14] <minilyn> while i'm googleing something about d600 i found that old revision of bios have not usb boot support and they must be upgraded to have usb boot sequence listed....must be confirm
[18:14] <Neroon> mikubuntu: and you tried the cd on another laptop/pc as well?
[18:15] <mikubuntu> neroon yep
[18:15] <Neroon> minilyn: That was what I was thinking. So I suggested the cd boot
[18:16] <minilyn> yup ..this is only way to get work it
[18:16] <Neroon> mikubuntu: Well, I guess I'm out of options and I think it must be a faulty bios
[18:16] <mikubuntu> neroon is there any recourse for a faulty bios?
[18:17] <Neroon> mikubuntu: only if you could boot from usb/cd/floppy
[18:17] <varunendra> mikubuntu, mikubuntu does the CD drive show up somewhere in the BIOS?
[18:17] <mikubuntu> varunendra: "device in system modular bay cannot be identified'   arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggh
[18:17] <Neroon> mikubuntu: Well, not boot, but access at least
[18:18] <Neroon> mikubuntu: but it seems to recognise that something is attached?
[18:18] <mustafa_>   help please any body  i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??
[18:19] <uw> hello using ubuntu 12.04, with the print manager is there a way to only print even or odd pages in list?
[18:19] <uw> the printer i have can do double sided but needed to be printed in that fashion
[18:20] <uw> wow nevermind just found it
[18:20] <uw> i had been looking for this for 3 minutes with no luck
[18:20] <uw> as soon as i ask i find the right tab
[18:20] <uw> typical
[18:20] <Neroon> uw: :-)
[18:21] <mikubuntu> neroon, for instance -- when the flash drive is attached it
[18:22] <mikubuntu> 'starts' to blink ... but only a few secs
[18:22] <Neroon> mikubuntu: huh...
[18:23] <Neroon> mikubuntu: But it doesn't recognize it at all just like usb, cd, hdd?
[18:23] <mikubuntu> Neroon: also the light on the cd blinks a few times, then nothing
[18:23] <varunendra> mikubuntu, it can be the USB drive's own initiation indication.
[18:23] <Neroon> mikubuntu: That just shows it got power
[18:23] <mikubuntu> neroon, yup
[18:23] <varunendra> mikubuntu, as a last shot, you may try removing both the batteries (the swappable one, and the one on the motherboard) for a couple of hours.... to make sure the BIOS is actually reset.
[18:24] <mikubuntu> varunendra: i don't think i could mess with the motherboard -- should i just disconnect it a few days from battery and power?
[18:24] <Neroon> mikubuntu: well, what do have to lose?
[18:24] <ncp> after installation of newest nvidia driver, i just get blank screen with cursor blinking. Can't ctrl+alt+F1 to consol, anyone know how to fix?
[18:25] <Neroon> mikubuntu: no, the internal battery may last weeks
[18:25] <mikubuntu> neroon lol
[18:25] <varunendra> mikubuntu, if the motherboard has a battery, it won't let BIOS reset.
[18:26] <varunendra> mikubuntu, you may try the netboot thing, but will be of no use if you don't have an internal hdd (or can't detect it !)
[18:26] <mikubuntu> varunendra: Neroon thanks a lot for all your help -- but i better put this on the shelf for a while -- i don't see me getting anywhere with it
[18:27] <varunendra> mikubuntu, soundz like a gud idea ;)
[18:27] <ShadowBlaze18> Hi, is source code for GPL V2 software avaliable on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS iso?
[18:28] <Neroon> mikubuntu: np. i too got a problem that can't be solved ;-)
[18:28] <ShadowBlaze18> Or do you need to use the internet?
[18:28] <mikubuntu> cheerio guys .. whats yours neroon??
[18:28] <Neroon> mikubuntu: wifi usb adapter is hardblocked (on a pc, not laptop)
[18:30] <mikubuntu> neroon, what does that mean 'hardblocked'
[18:30] <varunendra> Neroon, you should post a thread on Ubuntu Forums for it. Did I ask you for the "wireless-info" report?
[18:30] <Neroon> mikubuntu: If you give it a  try with the batteries, here has someone answered how to do it: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090103075737AAKze4q
[18:30] <Neroon> varunendra: No, you didn't. But I can't right now, I dont have it here
[18:31] <mikubuntu> neroon, is it that the usb has gone bad?
[18:31] <Neroon> mikubuntu: No, it works flawlessly on xp
[18:31] <varunendra> Neroon, keep the link handy then : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385
[18:31] <mikubuntu> neroon so its a driver problem with *buntu?
[18:32] <Neroon> mikubuntu: Might be, yes. But not ubuntu alone, since I tried mint, ubuntu and arch
[18:33] <mikubuntu> Neroon: i just got a $10 one from newegg (edimax) for a friends desktop, but i haven't been to her house to try it yet
[18:33] <PashaPasta> Neroon: what brand is this device? there are some known issues with the newest ralink drivers
[18:33] <Neroon> varunendra: and capture the thread there? Or just read it?
[18:34] <mikubuntu> i did see at least one comment that it worked out of the box with 'linux'
[18:34] <varunendra> mikubuntu, Neroon driver problems in linux are kernel problems, would be more or less the same across all distros.
[18:34] <Neroon> PashaPasta: It's a netgear wg111v2 with RTL8187L  chipset
[18:35] <varunendra> Neroon, it just tells how to generate a detailed diagnostics report. It'll help you getting better help :)
[18:35] <Neroon> varunendra: I'm not much of a forum guy. But maybe I'll give it a try
[18:35] <varunendra> Neroon, I keep asking the same report on IRC too.
[18:36] <Neroon> varunendra: And actually I'm beginning to wonder if the 10 bucks for a new card would be the better option
[18:36] <varunendra> Neroon, quite often ;)
[18:36] <Neroon> varunendra: That damn thing plagued me for weeks now
[18:37] <mikubuntu> free software foundation is selling one supposed to be great across all linux --- only $64 --- yikes --- doesn't sound free to me
[18:37] <Neroon> ouch
[18:37] <ShadowBlaze18> And the faf is doing that mikubuntu?
[18:37] <ShadowBlaze18> *fsf
[18:38] <ShadowBlaze18> That seems backwards
[18:38] <mikubuntu> the edimax on newegg was $10 with free shipping, so figure it was really cheaper
[18:39] <ShadowBlaze18> Couldn't someone copy it for free, mikubuntu?
[18:39] <mikubuntu> ShadowBlaze18: yup, they keep hawking it in the newsletter
[18:40] <Neroon> mikubuntu: Wouldn't help me, since I'm not from the us :-)
[18:40] <ShadowBlaze18> Oh, right, this is not for discussions, sorry
[18:40] <mikubuntu> prolly just a fundraising gimmick
[18:40] <mikubuntu> neroon where you be?
[18:40] <Neroon> mikubuntu: germany
[18:40] <mikubuntu> danka
[18:41] <varunendra> Okay guys.. it's bedtime for humans (12:10 am), guess I should try sometimes to be human..... so.. (perhaps) Good Night all !!
[18:41] <Neroon> mikubuntu:  actually it's danke :-)
[18:41] <mikubuntu> ahhhh, danke shein right"
[18:41] <Neroon> varunendra: thanks for your time and good night
[18:41] <varunendra> np :)
[18:41] <mikubuntu> ty varunendra
[18:41] <Neroon> mikubuntu: spelled - almost. written: danke schön
[18:42] <thundert> how do you check your file system and partition in the terminal
[18:42] <Neroon> mikubuntu: but mostly it's just danke
[18:42] <Neroon> thundert: what filesystem?
[18:42] <thundert> is it just fdisk -l
[18:42] <guitarHester> Perhaps fdisk?
[18:42] <mikubuntu> danke schön then neroon, i appreciate the help -- gotta go let the dog out
[18:43] <Morph4me> Neroon: have you tried the cmd to wake the wlan  > ifconfig wlanX up
[18:43] <Neroon> mikubuntu: c ya
[18:43] <Neroon> thundert: check as in what is there or check for errors?
[18:43] <thundert> neroon: just in general I was trying fdisk -l command but wondering if there is any other way to check your partitiions
[18:44] <Neroon> thundert: afaik it's sudo fdisk -l
[18:44] <thundert> Neroon: no errors just checking my partition table and filesystem
[18:44] <thundert> Neroon: does the fstab and mtab check only the file system?
[18:46] <uw> hmm
[18:46] <Neroon> thundert: fstab and mtab don't check, they initialize the partitions
[18:46] <uw> anyone know who handles printing for ubuntu12.04?
[18:47] <uw> is it the gnome people?
[18:47] <uw> i have a bug to report
[18:47] <thundert> Neroon:I just ran both and I was wondering how I would get the file size of the partition? in GB
[18:47] <Neroon> thundert: df -H
[18:48] <Neroon> thundert: at least the mounted partitons
[18:53] <Neroon> thundert: well, i gotta go. c ya
[18:53] <thundert> how do i find the default main directory structure
[18:53] <thundert> k thanks for your help
[18:53] <Neroon> thundert: you mean ls -l ?

[19:16] <mickeyd> im trying to write to a directory in a program called pgadmin3, however when i try to run 'sudo pgadmin3' it opens the program without prompting me for a root password and I can't get write access to the folder so i can export the file.  how else can i open the program with sudo?
[19:16] <ikonia> mickeyd: sudo is the correct way to open it
[19:17] <ikonia> mickeyd: is it a graphical program (X11 gui)
[19:17] <mickeyd> ikonia, it is a gui
[19:17] <ikonia> mickeyd: ok, as in an X11 application gui ?
[19:18] <mickeyd> ikonia, dont know what an X11 application gui is. I just know the application is a gui and not command line
[19:18] <ikonia> mickeyd: ok, so sudo should work, but "gksudo" would be better
[19:20] <mickeyd> ikonia, sudo doesn't work it does say the following in terminal, IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/user/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
[19:20] <ikonia> mickeyd: right, because you used "sudo" the first time, rather than "gksudo"
[19:20] <mickeyd> ikonia, i also installed and tried gksudo but after opening it none of the usual settings are in place and I don't see my servers
[19:20] <ikonia> mickeyd: delete that file
[19:21] <ikonia> mickeyd: yes, because gksudo will read files from the proper location, delete the file in your home dir, and set it up properly using gksudo
[19:22] <wolter> Unity-greeter isn't showing my desktop wallpaper, how can I fix this?

[19:40] <wolter> haha get a job maximus2
[19:40] <wheatthin> lol
[19:40] <maximus2> haha not funny
[19:40] <wolter> OerHeks: hey that's it! Thanks!
[19:40] <OerHeks> have fun :-)
[19:40] <wolter> OerHeks: this file is not updating automatically it seems
[19:40] <maximus2> classic
[19:41] <OerHeks> wolter that tool /simple-lightdm-manager_0.2-public7_all.deb to change the picture crashes here, so i would not advise that
[19:42] <agora> maximus2 nothing, i'm here to answer questions that i can answer
[19:42] <maximus2> -_-........
[19:42] <agora> wheatthin i'm not asking a question lol
[19:42] <wolter> OerHeks: so isn't unity-greeter updating wallpapers automatically anymore?
[19:42] <maximus2> ok agora
[19:42] <pzn> I have frequently (about once per month) problems with 3 ubuntu LTS 64bit servers installed on blade machines with citrix/xen. the problem comes with an IO error at some HD sector and then root filesystem being remounted as read-only. reboot does an fsck and all works ok again. is there any "incompatibility" issue between ubuntu and xen? should I install something different than default ubuntu?
[19:42] <wheatthin> agora, if not, and not here to help, then go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chat
[19:42] <wolter> haha yeah he just saluted the channel
[19:43] <agora> wheatthin i just said i'm here to help ^^
[19:43] <maximus2>  but what do you want agora?
[19:43] <agora> jeez i am getting lambasted for saying hi
[19:43] <maximus2> p
[19:43] <agora> maximus2 nothing
[19:44] <wheatthin> not really.. it's just not for chat like that.. you're more than welcome to help.
[19:44] <wolter> hahah I bet these guys are kidding
[19:44] <sensae> Could a failed resume from suspend + hard reboot have permanently damaged my Ubuntu install? Getting a lot of random errors, I think I'll just reinstall, but I'm curious what happened to my system..
[19:44] <fabiano> ciao
[19:44] <sensae> Also worried it might be freemem I should be running next
[19:44] <agora> wolter i hope so, idk what's so horrible about saying "hey all"
[19:44] <wolter> sensae: you should provide like error messages you've gotten
[19:45] <wheatthin> sensae, yes a bad wake, can mess things up, try fsck first
[19:45] <maximus2> ok but do you want to you to chat for awhile agora
[19:45] <sensae> wolter: compiz(core) segfault, Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0x2200090 Warn: This should never happen, you should probably file a bug about this
[19:45] <agora> maximus "do you want to you to chat" -> what?
[19:45] <sensae> I can boot fine, access TTY1 fine, but can't login to a Unity session. That above error was from running "unity --reset" in TTY1
[19:46] <maximus2> yes because im bored
[19:46] <wolter> sensae: perhaps try to start a session without compiz, this doesn't look like a drive error
[19:46] <agora> maximus sure, in offtopic
[19:47] <wolter> !offtopic | maximus2
[19:47] <gordonjcp> we're slagging off hair metal in -offtopic
[19:47] <gordonjcp> it's quietened down a bit, but feel free to pitch in
[19:47] <wolter> (trolling back)
[19:47] <sensae> wolter: would Unity2D be sufficient?
[19:48] <wolter> sensae: I thought that animal was extinct, but sure, anything non-compiz
[19:48] <wolter> mutter, metacity, etc.
[19:48] <wolter> or morover, try using compiz' default configuration
[19:48] <sensae> wolter: still an option in 12.04 LTS :) I did get into my desktop, too. Thanks. Still have no clue what's going on with compiz
[19:48] <wolter> moreover*
[19:49] <wolter> but you should probably file a bug there anyway, to give back
[19:49] <agora> anyone else use lightspark?
[19:50] <morph3k> hey guys i have a problem…I have a server that I enabled UFW on…here is the paste: http://pastebin.com/k9vH1ggf
[19:50] <morph3k> i ran nMap on it and go tthis:
[19:50] <morph3k> All 1000 scanned ports on ks3298021.kimsufi.com (<IP_ADDRESS>) are filtered
[19:50] <morph3k> Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 208.25 seconds
[19:50] <morph3k> so it looks like it didnt save my settings or something
[19:50] <morph3k> is there anyway i can bypass this and get in?
[19:51] <FloodBot1> morph3k: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:56] <jhutchins> morph3k: I take it ssh used to work but doesn't now?
[19:57] <morph3k> yeah
[19:57] <morph3k> it looks like its closed all the ports
[19:57] <jhutchins> morph3k: This is a remote, commercially hosted server?
[19:57] <morph3k> I just booted it up into rescue mode and it is now refusing the connection instead of timing out
[19:57] <morph3k> OVH yeah
[19:57] <alexandros_c> hello, I am having a problem with firefox and yahoo mail on ubuntu 13.04. Yahoo mail keeps refreshing in firefox. Any ideas on how to fixed this? Thanks.
[19:57] <jhutchins> morph3k: rescue mode won't be running sshd.
[19:58] <benbloom> maximus2: since you're bored and no one else seems to have the answer, can you look at my question? I'm trying to make a cross-platform flash drive with robust feature set offered in udf can you explain the --vid --lvid --vsid --fsid options in mkudffs? it's really not clear from the manpage or from google. None of them seems to come up as LABEL in lsblk so I'm at a loss
[19:58] <jhutchins> morph3k: Your only option is to use the OOB system console if your provider offers it, or have them restore to the last backup.
[19:59] <jhutchins> morph3k: You _might_ be able to talk them into walking through the steps to disable UFW.
[19:59] <partounian> Hey does anyone know how to add window controls to Gnome Shell?
[20:00] <wilee-nilee> benbloom, Are you asking for help without being addressed first by them?
[20:00] <bazhang> partounian, get gnome-tweak-tool
[20:00] <partounian> bazhang: I have it.
[20:00] <bazhang> partounian, the settings are in there
[20:01] <partounian> bazhang: Is there no way to have the buttons on the top right of every window?
[20:01] <benbloom> wilee-nilee: he said he was bored... i thought i'd help
[20:01] <bazhang> partounian, sure there is, if you mean top right corner, that's how I have it set
[20:01] <sensae> So now, if I log in to Unity 2D and run compiz --replace, my desktop works fine, compiz runs fine. I still can't log in to standard Unity.
[20:02] <wilee-nilee> benbloom, Ah, well as a heads up that is not a accepted channel method, no biggie your choice. ;)
[20:02] <Laurenceb_> anyone here used transcode?
[20:02] <Laurenceb_> ive got big issues
[20:02] <partounian> bazhang: how?
[20:03] <benbloom> wilee-nilee: thanks. yes. I had asked the question in an appropriate way a couple times with not so much as a blip. do you know anything about udf options?
[20:03] <bazhang> partounian, let me check what I did, a guide I seem to remember, just a moment please
[20:04] <morph3k> jhutchins i got into SSH in rescue mode and added an ip table rule. you think this will override UFW?
[20:04] <lunarjar> does anyone know how to permanently remove Desktop from /home
[20:04] <wilee-nilee> partounian, In unity ubuntu-tweak has change sides option, you can do it in dconf as well in the gnome shell it is in the gnome tweak-tool.
[20:05] <morph3k> damn didnt work
[20:05] <wilee-nilee> lunarjar, Just out of curiosity why?
[20:06] <partounian> You can set to clicking on the title bar, but there are no actual buttons and that is what I am looking for.
[20:06] <lunarjar> because its empty, I don't need it and I'm OCD :)
[20:06] <wilee-nilee> partounian, In the shell you can choose what is in that header
[20:06] <rokkghost> hello
[20:06] <minilyn> rm -rf /home/Desktop
[20:07] <wilee-nilee> lunarjar, Never seen a method, be careful with just removing stuff to meet that.
[20:07] <lunarjar> it comes back after rm -rf
[20:07] <partounian> wilee-nilee Thanks so much. I skimmed through shell and read the others like a million times. I thought it would be in windows.
[20:07] <bazhang> my mistake partounian its gconf-editor, heres the link http://askubuntu.com/questions/174292/how-can-i-move-all-the-window-controls-to-the-right
[20:07] <rokkghost> My friends, how are you?
[20:07] <bazhang> !ot | rokkghost
[20:07] <partounian> bazhang: That
[20:07] <partounian> That is for Unity only btw, but thank you too.
[20:08] <bazhang> the info for gnome-shell is there too part
[20:08] <bazhang> augh he quit
[20:09] <minilyn> You can set any path/directory as your home folder by changing the relevant entry in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[20:09] <wilee-nilee> lunarjar, I see nothing on the web to do this, does not mean it isn't there, you might ask here. http://askubuntu.com/
[20:10] <rokkghost> What's new in the world of Linux?
[20:10] <bazhang> rokkghost, this is not the chat channel
[20:10] <bazhang> rokkghost, #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[20:11] <Gooose> Need some help please -
[20:11] <Gooose> I have a 3 drive box and the 3 drives are RAID5
[20:11] <deezed> Hey guys! Do you know why I can't connect to a PEAP connection from an Ubuntu 12.04?? Its strange, 'cause with debian it works fine.
[20:11] <Gooose> One of the drives failed, the box booted but I had a failed device
[20:11] <Gooose> I replaced the bad drive and now the box wont boot at all, I just get the flashing cursor
[20:11] <FloodBot1> Gooose: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:12] <Gooose> sorry
[20:14] <Gooose> when I boot to the install disk the raid has slipped into a md127 type device
[20:15] <bazhang> !raid > Gooose
[20:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> hallo. having trouble reverting to the 3.2.x kernel. not a horrible situation, but as i can't install flgrx or bcmwl-kernel-source as it stands I'd like to stick with something that can. I still have 3.2.0-49, and have been rebooting and holding shift but recieve no grub prompt. and I just realized something, changes to /etc/default/grub only show up after running update-grub, heh?
[20:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> Hold that thought as I reboot once more.
[20:16] <Gooose> bazhang - I know how to set it up. I'm trying to recover a failed RAID after replacing a bad drive without losing at data
[20:16] <Gooose> losing all data
[20:17] <trewq_> I have a bluetooth dongle (http://plugable.com/drivers/bluetooth) and a creative D100 speaker (http://bit.ly/fBK65W). I have used the gui and connected the speakers and when i click on "Test Sound" in the sound application, it works. How can I play an mp3 using the command line?
[20:18] <minilyn> I use mp3blaster for mp3 in terminal
[20:19] <Ryan_Williams> I'm having problems trying to watch SkyGo
[20:21] <Gooose> my RAID has slipped into a non bootable RAIDmd127 device and I can't boot to it. Any ideas on how to repair?
[20:22] <ltrottier> so I'm getting ssh weirdness: I set up password-less ssh login (as I've done a number of times before) except, on this ubuntu install, the first time I ssh in after a reboot I get prompted for a password, and then I don't on subsequent logins
[20:23] <Corey> ltrottier: That's definitely bizarre. :-)
[20:24] <Corey> ltrottier: Is your initial ssh connection still up when subsequent logins work?
[20:24] <ltrottier> Corey: yeah. ssh-agent reports that it's doing anythin
[20:24] <ltrottier> Corey: doesn't appear to matter
[20:24] <Corey> ltrottier: Yeah, was wondering if there was a ControlMaster setting in your ssh config that was enabling connection reuse.
[20:24] <ltrottier> actually, nvm
[20:24] <ltrottier> yes
[20:24] <ltrottier> it only works while I'm connected
[20:24] <Corey> ltrottier: There we go then. :-)
[20:25] <ltrottier> ???
[20:25] <Corey> ltrottier: You're reusing the ssh connection; if you have to type in your password for the first one, keypair auth is failing.
[20:25] <ltrottier> Corey: right. right.
[20:25] <Corey> ltrottier: You might want to check the permissions / content of your ~/.ssh directory on the server.
[20:25] <shamaho> Hi all, Upgrading from 10.10 to 12.10 left be unable to log-in with errors related to screen resolution - HELP! TIA !
[20:26] <wilee-nilee> shamaho, How did you upgrade?
[20:26] <shamaho> wilee-nilee: throught the wizard
[20:26] <hedin> Hi, is there a ppa for ubuntu-12.04LTS with qemu-1.4 ?
[20:27] <shamaho> wilee-nilee: the wizard proposed by ubuntu itself, and this happened after the requested reboot
[20:28] <wilee-nilee> shamaho, A upgrade from a end of life has a specific path, not sure you followed it, I can't help. However maybe others can.
[20:29] <minilyn> shamaho: maybe you'r graphic driver was uninstalled after upgrade
[20:29] <k1l> shamaho: you did upgrade in one step from 10.10 to 12.10?
[20:29] <shamaho> wilee-nilee: I did not have options to follow... the ubuntu s wizard did its thing and asked for a reboot
[20:30] <wilee-nilee> !eol | shamaho THe channel was your best start
[20:30] <shamaho> k1l: I think so, that is what the built in wizard proposed
[20:30] <k1l> shamaho: that is not possible
[20:30] <Ryan_Williams> hello, fucking help me, y'all deaf or something
[20:30] <gordonjcp> !attitude | Ryan_Williams
[20:30] <shamaho> k1l: what is not possible ?
[20:31] <Ryan_Williams> HELP ME THEN DEAF PEPOLE!!!
[20:31] <holstein> !ask | Ryan_Williams
[20:31] <gordonjcp> !attitude | Ryan_Williams
[20:31] <Ryan_Williams> !ASK
[20:31] <bekks> Ryan_Williams: Congratulations. You just made me to ignore your issue. :)
[20:31] <ltrottier> Corey: despite setting 600 to .ssh and to authorized_keys, and restarting sshd, the problem isn't getting solved … very odd
[20:32] <Gooose> my RAID has slipped into a non bootable RAIDmd127 device and I can't boot to it. Any ideas on how to repair?
[20:32] <k1l> shamaho: to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.10 in one step. either you need to do several steps (10.10-11.04-11.10-12.04-12.10) of you made some stuff manually
[20:32] <shamaho> wilee-nilee: what is the channel ? ubuntu just showed me a big popup asking to upgrade and I accepted it... then it went on to do its thing
[20:33] <Corey> ltrottier: Directories need the execute bit set. :-)
[20:33] <shamaho> k1l: er I know what I did ;-) I did not do any manual stuff, and it was ubuntu upgrade pop-up thta said 12.10
[20:33] <wilee-nilee> shamaho, The #ubuntu channel, you have to be aware of end of life issues, did you know 10.10 was end of life?
[20:33] <ltrottier> Corey: ahhhhhh yes. I did create this directory on my owh, rather than by using keygen
[20:33] <ltrottier> *own
[20:34] <shamaho> wilee-nilee: yes <i know it was end of life, I had plenty warning about no more updates - but I just followed instructions
[20:34] <holstein> shamaho: if you are on 10.10, i would suggest a fresh install, and dont let the system get so far out of date this time around.. dealing with the EOL distros can be challenging
[20:35] <wilee-nilee> shamaho, Ah, problem here is the variable of whats actually in your sources.list. However none of this fixes your problem, just info.
[20:35] <shamaho> holstein: you make it sound like it was my lack of attention but I ve been away from home for a long time
[20:35] <k1l> shamaho: there will be no popup, that brings you from 10.10 to 12.10. so you did something manually. as long as you dont tell what you did its very hard to know where the error begins
[20:36] <holstein> shamaho: i meant to imply only that it will be easier going forward to deal with it *before* the EOL.. not implying any fault, nor being combatitive in any way
[20:36] <mirak> how much swap do you use ?
[20:36] <holstein> shamaho: i want to make it sound like a fresh install could be the path of least resistance for you right now
[20:36] <wilee-nilee> !who > mirak
[20:36] <bekks> mirak: As much as RAM, since I am using suspend to RAM.
[20:37] <shamaho> jeeesh a fresh install !?!?
[20:37] <shamaho> I mean... I just need to fix the x server
[20:37] <holstein> shamaho: i would be saying "sheesh, upgrading my EOL 10.10?"
[20:38] <holstein> shamaho: if you want support, unfortunately, you'll need to be running a supported version..
[20:38] <bekks> shamaho: A fresh install is less work than trying to fix your EOL 10.10 :)
[20:38] <shamaho> ok, how do I fresh install without formatting my existing partition ?
[20:38] <holstein> shamaho: the breakage could be due to the EOL status, and could be a waste of effort on everyone's part.. including yours
[20:39] <shamaho> Then, the system should not offer that possibility at all !
[20:39] <holstein> shamaho: you should have your data backedup somewhere else anyway.. before doing anything else
[20:39] <shamaho> I mean, does sound rational to offer upgrade then failing then ...
[20:39] <mirak> bekks: you use a laptop ?
[20:39] <holstein> shamaho: the system is doing what its designed to do.. but as i said, its challenging to deal with EOL's
[20:40] <bekks> mirak: Sure.
[20:40] <shamaho> holstein: I know that! and I have that backed up! I somehow knew that this was a high possibility
[20:40] <wilee-nilee> shamaho, It would not normally you messed with your sources most likely.
[20:40] <mirak> bekks: i have a desktop, and i don't think i ever used suspend to disk
[20:40] <shamaho> ok, I give up
[20:40] <holstein> shamaho: OK.. so, if you have a seperate /home partition.. dont format that one. if you have it all in one partition, that is something you can consider for the future installations
[20:40] <bekks> mirak: On my desktop, I am using suspend to RAM, too.
[20:40] <shamaho> so how do I do a fresh install keeping my existing data ?
[20:41] <mirak> bekks: you have what video card ?
[20:41] <mirak> i think it worked bad with nvidia
[20:41] <mirak> at least for me
[20:41] <bekks> shamaho: Backup your data, since at leaset the / partition need to be formatted.
[20:41] <shamaho> ok, separate /home partition, I don't remember anymore, how do I check that out ?
[20:41] <bekks> mirak: I am using nvidia only - and it works like a charm.
[20:41] <holstein> shamaho: if you have a seperate /home, dont format that partition.. otherwise, you dont have the system configure to facilitate a reinsatllation without formatting.. but, thats OK since your data is backed up
[20:41] <bekks> shamaho: type "mount".
[20:42] <ltrottier> Corey: oh. wait. could it be because I have an encrypted home folder?
[20:42] <shamaho> bekks: then what ? :)
[20:42] <shamaho> ~I do have a separate line for /home
[20:42] <ltrottier> Corey: yes. yes it is. http://superuser.com/questions/61057/ssh-with-authorized-keys-to-an-ubuntu-system-with-encrypted-homedir
[20:43] <bekks> shamaho: Then read the output, and answer your question "Do I see a line for /home ?" :)
[20:43] <shamaho> yes
[20:43] <mirak> bekks: well never mind, i will use a file to hibernate if i need to
[20:43] <shamaho> ok, next step
[20:43] <shamaho> holstein: do I really have a choice of choosing not to format /home ?
[20:43] <bekks> mirak: Which is just the same, in terms of used space.
[20:43] <bekks> shamaho: Yes.
[20:44] <bekks> shamaho: You should backup everything nonetheless.
[20:44] <fwaokda> anyone know how i can remove non-ascii characters from a csv file i have?
[20:44] <shamaho> bekks: I have already done that, thanks
[20:44] <holstein> shamaho: assuming you have a seperate home, you dont format that during the installation.. but, yes, i echo having a backup
[20:44] <mirak> bekks: not if decide i don't need hibernate anymore
[20:44] <holstein> shamaho: if you have a backup, then there is no issue
[20:44] <shamaho> I knew the upgarde thing was not realiable! I just got confirmation
[20:44] <shamaho> I
[20:45] <shamaho> although I´m sure the upgrade went well safe for the Xserver thing...
[20:45] <wilee-nilee> shamaho, You are looking at user errors in dichotomies, and blaming the OS.
[20:46] <bekks> mirak: Do we really discuss wether we have 4GB swap? :)
[20:46] <shamaho> now thr problem is, I don't have any other PC to write the CDROM with the new Ubuntu image
[20:46] <shamaho> wilee-nilee: I´m sorry but I dont accept that user-error thing ! that one I dont accept
[20:47] <holstein> shamaho: you can use any live CD? do you still have the 10.10 live cd?
[20:47] <mirak> bekks: no, but we can discuss if it's worth using partition if i can use swap file instead
[20:47] <shamaho> holstein: yes I must have some lying around
[20:47] <bekks> mirak: I am not using partitions, but LVM. :)
[20:48] <mirak> bekks: i have LVM on my main system. but for this one i prefer avoid complexicity, that's why i torture my mind, otherwise with LVM it would be a done deal
[20:48] <bekks> mirak: LVM is far more easy and flexible than partitions are.
[20:49] <mirak> bekks: yes i know ...
[20:49] <mirak> bekks: but it feels a bit more risky
[20:49] <bekks> mirak: Then why do you want to use more complex partitions? And its just risky if you dont know what you are doing.
[20:50] <mirak> bekks: because if use lvm, i want to boot on lvm
[20:50] <mirak> i don't like having separate boot partition
[20:50] <bekks> mirak: And why do you consider thst "risky"?
[20:50] <OerHeks> 13.04 ubuntu iso supports lvm and lvm encrypted
[20:51] <mirak> bekks: more commands to remember.
[20:51] <mirak> bekks: i felt at some point there was a performance it
[20:51] <mirak> hit
[20:51] <bekks> mirak: There are tools available like pen&paper or applications like Evernote :P
[20:51] <mirak> bekks: yes, I send mails to myself most of the time :p
[20:51] <bekks> mirak: Then your feelings are - weird. In fact, there is no performance difference.
[20:52] <bekks> mirak: Take a stop watch, and benchmark it :)
[20:52] <mirak> bekks: it's just that this computer is for my parents
[20:52] <bekks> mirak: And why do you expect them to suddenly mess around with LVM?
[20:52] <mirak> bekks: on mine I have gpt+mdadm raid1 + lvm
[20:52] <shamaho> oops, I got it wrong it was not from 10.10 to 12.10 but from 11.10 to 12.10
[20:52] <holstein> ask the users what they want, or try and predict what might be best or easiest for them
[20:53] <shamaho> so not that big of a jump now was it ?
[20:53] <mirak> bekks: I don't
[20:53] <bekks> mirak: Then use the "default" installation way: /boot partition + LVM.
[20:53] <mirak> bekks: i just feel it's easier to recover datas from a broken partition than a broken lvm
[20:53] <holstein> shamaho: i would still fresh install, unless you want to go to 12.04, the LTS, and sit there for longer
[20:53] <bekks> mirak: Everything else increases complexity and raises risk of breaking it for your parents.
[20:53] <mirak> bekks: i don't like /boot partition
[20:54] <bekks> mirak: You dont need to like it, just use. Its the default way, considered to be the most easy way.
[20:54] <mirak> bekks: i feel it defies the purpose
[20:54] <mirak> of lvm
[20:55] <shamaho> So I have a liveCD with 11.10  - how can I upgrade to the latest version ?
[20:55] <xangua> !eol | shamaho
[20:55] <mirak> bekks: but you are not entirely wrong. or right. I just can't make up my mind
[20:55] <shamaho> or could anyone attempt helping me reset the X server config ?
[20:55] <bekks> mirak: You're feelings are pretty weird. If you dont want to hear the answers you get, well, I'll just stop answering.
[20:55] <holstein> shamaho: i would download the latest version and install it.. anything else will take a while
[20:55] <mirak> bekks: thanks for your input. I am tempted by lvm anyway
[20:55] <k1l> shamaho: you need to do every upgrade. its way easier tog et a fresh iso and install with that
[20:55] <holstein> shamaho: you might want to consider installing 12.04. .its the LTS.. supported for 5 years
[20:56] <shamaho> yes I might
[20:56] <mirak> bekks: no i hear them, it's just i am sure i don't want a separate /boot. especially because i will dual boot, so it means two /boot, and that's ugly. And if I want to create another install with tripple boot, then i can't create a new /boot .
[20:57] <bekks> mirak: Two different Linuxes for your parents?
[20:57] <bekks> mirak: Now you are introducing complexity.
[20:57] <mirak> bekks: i like to do that for upgrades
[20:57] <holstein> shamaho: for me, an upgrade, from one version to the next, best case can take a few hours.. maybe more like 5 or so.. i can fresh install in like 12 minutes
[20:57] <shamaho> I shudder to think doing a fresh install to my mums 11.10
[20:57] <mirak> bekks: i have a os I use, and another one sleeping, for going back in case of problem
[20:58] <bekks> mirak: Thats pointless. Never heard of such a complex, pointless setup for someone who isnt even interested in doing things like that. I bet your parents just want to use their computer.
[20:58] <holstein> shamaho: you need to do those upgrades *before* the EOL, ideally
[20:58] <mirak> bekks: because like 99% of the time something wrong happens when doing an upgrade
[20:58] <bekks> mirak: I have a live CD, in case of breakage.
[20:58] <bekks> mirak: For years, updates never failed here.
[20:58] <mirak> bekks: yes, but I will be the one wich will maintain it
[20:58] <holstein> shamaho: i shudder to think of your mum trying to install something, and getting the repo warnings.. or something worse security related
[20:59] <bekks> mirak: Get a live cd, forget about dualbooting, use /boot + LVM, done.
[20:59] <holstein> shamaho: my mom is on 12.04
[20:59] <mirak> bekks: no that's not true. for instance i could have upgraded to 10
[20:59] <bekks> mirak: To 10 what?
[20:59] <mirak> bekks: upgraded to last ubuntu version, then realised you can't use unity without Composite extension.
[21:00] <mirak> bekks: the problem beeing that composite extension works really bad with vdpau, and create tearing on video playback
[21:00] <bekks> mirak: last version is 13.04
[21:00] <bekks> mirak: Not "10".
[21:00] <mirak> bekks: and makes the installation unusable for home cinema usage.
[21:00] <holstein> i think "10" refers to 13.10...
[21:01] <holstein> mirak: you tried something like XFCE?
[21:01] <mirak> holstein: no it's a typo. I wanted to tell 13.4
[21:01] <Corey> mirak: Documenting with emails to yourself is insanity. :-) I use Evernote for that, and forward those mails to the evernote submission address tied to my account.
[21:01] <bekks> mirak: I can see you introducing problems out of nowhere. Video playback works fine here. I am still using 12.04, until 2017.
[21:01] <mirak> holstein: I use Mate
[21:01]  * holstein still running 12.04
[21:01] <Corey> In today's exciting episode, I get to install Hardy (8.04) on a client's server for them. Lovely!
[21:01] <OerHeks> Mate on 10.10 ?
[21:01] <mirak> bekks: no it doesn't work well with vdpau and composite
[21:02] <bekks> mirak: It works like a charm. I am using it daily.
[21:02] <bazhang> !info mate
[21:02] <mirak> OerHeks: no
[21:02] <MonkeyDust> mate is a mint thingy
[21:02] <bazhang> ppa for mint?
[21:02] <mirak> bekks: on mine it doesn't, on a TV 46"  motion tearing is to visible
[21:03] <mirak> bekks: or cpu consumption is too high
[21:03] <bazhang> !info cinnamon
[21:03] <bekks> mirak: I dont care about CPU utilization on my computers. They have CPUs to be used, actually.
[21:03]  * genii shudders
[21:03] <mirak> bekks: I have an old E5200 cpu, and it just can't take it on linux.
[21:03] <mirak> bekks: you don't care as long as you don't notice a difference
[21:04] <holstein> so its the CPU? not unity?
[21:04] <bekks> mirak: A difference to what?
[21:04] <mirak> holstein: it's not unity, it's Composite extension
[21:04] <bekks> mirak: As I said, you are introducing problems out of nowhere.  Thats all I have to say.
[21:05] <bekks> mirak: Then dont talk to me anymore. Thank you.
[21:05] <Casey> anyone know of a popular webdesign channel?
[21:05] <ionwind> i have a little problem
[21:05] <mirak> bekks: you said unity + composite + vdpau works well, that's just not true
[21:05] <holstein> Casey: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:05] <Kitt3n> !ask | ionwind
[21:06] <bazhang> !alis | Casey have a search
[21:06] <ionwind> with mi microsd
[21:06] <ionwind> sorry
[21:06] <ionwind> :)
[21:06] <bekks> mirak: Dont hilight nme anymore. Our conversation is over.
[21:06] <mirak> holstein: for me it's not the cpu, because this works well on windows 7
[21:06] <ionwind> the think is i cant copy file into my microsd proplety
[21:06] <mirak> bekks: i was not about too until you write that
[21:06] <ionwind> is a 64gb class 10
[21:07] <bazhang> mirak, move on
[21:07] <holstein> mirak: you cant compare that.. its not constructive.. the driver support is not a "given" in linux like it is on the operating system the hardware was designed for and intended to use
[21:07] <ionwind> every time it copy but not write
[21:08] <wilee-nilee> ionwind, You checked if the read write switch is on or off on the card if it has one?
[21:08] <mirak> holstein: of course that's not a given, that's what I am telling basically. But if it works on windows and not linux, then it's not a hardware issue obviously.
[21:08] <ionwind> is a microsd
[21:08] <ionwind> i put into a adapter usb
[21:08] <ionwind> 1º it copy very slow
[21:08] <guntbert> !enter | ionwind
[21:08] <wilee-nilee> Ah, we never know with posting people will use close syntax.
[21:09] <ionwind> 2º when i see the file... it has change the name
[21:09] <holstein> mirak: OK.. i never implied it was... thanks for clarifying...
[21:09] <mirak> holstein: i wouldn't mind using unity, but the issue are with compositing and hardware video playback. The cpu i have can't handle the overload the actual implementation have.
[21:09] <ionwind> upps sorry im new, i dont know how
[21:09] <holstein> mirak: so, it works fine in xfce?
[21:10] <mirak> holstein: It works fine in anything not using Composite extension of Xorg
[21:10] <ionwind> i try  in windows and the same problem....
[21:10] <peepsalot> i just upgraded to 13.04 and I can't get into X.  my nividia drivers are broken.  it says it has to go into failsafe mode but after cliking ok i just get a blank screen and can't do anything.  I can get to recovery console, but not sure how to fix this
[21:10] <guntbert> ionwind: you state your problem as clearly as possible, all in one line without pressing <enter> in between
[21:10] <holstein> mirak: ok.. enjoy!
[21:10] <mirak> holstein: wich is not possible anymore with Unity and Gnome-shell unfortunely.
[21:11] <ionwind> ahh ok
[21:11] <holstein> mirak: correct
[21:11] <Kitt3n> peepsalot, you can boot into recovery mode and download the required nvidia drivers from there.
[21:11] <mirak> holstein: I have yet to find a solution for that. But I am fine with mate.
[21:12] <peepsalot> Kitt3n, i have tried installing nvidia-304 and nvidia-310 but neither are working
[21:12] <holstein> mirak: ? mate *is* the solution.. that or *any* DE that doesnt require compositing...
[21:13] <holstein> mirak: until a "better" driver is available, which may be never
[21:13] <mirak> holstein: yes but Mate is my favorite among them :p
[21:13] <guntbert> !ot | mirak
[21:13] <holstein> mirak: mate is not supported here
[21:13] <Kitt3n> peepsalot, well, then I don't know. I don't buy hardware(nvidia) that does not like to work on Linux, myself
[21:14] <mirak> guntbert: I don't see how it's off topic, since I would prefer having a unity in 3d and vdpau without tearing
[21:14] <pjb> after apt-get source, where do I find the sources?  They're not in /usr/src!
[21:14] <mirak> i just said that for now i use mate, absent of a working solution, that's it
[21:14] <bekks> pjb: They are under the directory from where you ran apt-get source.
[21:15] <pjb> ok. Thanks.
[21:15] <mirak> holstein: i don't ask support for mate. I eventually ask for Unity+Composite+Vdpau without lag or tearing
[21:15] <bazhang> mirak, did you have an actual support question?
[21:15] <mirak> bazhang: yes, check the log
[21:15] <Kitt3n> ^
[21:15] <bazhang> mirak, I see none
[21:16] <minilyn> peepsalot: try nvidian_installer.sh script
[21:16] <mirak> bazhang: then you don't care and ask this just rethorically
[21:16] <OerHeks> what videocard, what ubuntu version, i see no info either, bazhang
[21:16] <bazhang> mirak, lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic Pleaase. Thanks.
[21:17] <Ari-Yang> mirak, what's your problem?
[21:18] <Gooose> how do I have a copy of a disk in Ubuntu? I have a drive failing and want to coping OS and data from failing drive to USB connected new drive then install new drive and boot to it
[21:18] <mirak> Ari-Yang: one of them is having Unity+Vdpau working flowlessly with low cpu consumption and no tearing.
[21:18] <bekks> Gooose: You would have to clone your drive, by booting a live cd, and run clonezilla, e.g.
[21:18] <Ari-Yang> mirak, so you get tearing with vdpau?... what player are you using? mplayer?
[21:19] <mirak> Ari-Yang: XBMC
[21:19] <Gooose> bekks - cant do it while booted to the box?
[21:19] <bekks> Gooose: No.
[21:19] <Ari-Yang> mirak, what ubuntu version and what gpu do you have?
[21:20] <Ari-Yang> mirak, tbh I doubt it's an ubuntu problem. you should also try asking on #xbmc
[21:20] <mirak> Ari-Yang: 12.10, nvidia 9400
[21:20] <mirak> Ari-Yang: i doubt it's an xbmc problem, because that is a known issue
[21:20] <oO0Oo> Hi; I'm trying to make Squid3 (on Ubuntu 13.04) use basic authentication using ncsa but while i'm entering correct user/pass it always fails! can anyone help?
[21:20] <mirak> Ari-Yang: with composite xorg extension
[21:20] <Ari-Yang> mirak, you should still ask in #xbmc in case somebody has a solution
[21:22] <Gooose> bekks - the failing drive has two partitions. Can I copy over the data from the storage partiton and just reload the OS on the OS partition?
[21:22] <mirak> Ari-Yang: i don't think it's a good place, because most of the time XBMC is used with it's own session manager.
[21:22] <Ari-Yang> mirak, do you have any other player installed? if you do and if it has a vdpaur output, can you try playing something with it to see if you get tearing on that player?
[21:23] <bekks> Gooose: Yes. Or you could just clone the entire drive.
[21:24] <Gooose> bekks -I dont have a live CD and this is a remote located box
[21:24] <peepsalot> minilyn, it says "no package found for installation"
[21:24] <dustinspringman> what is the solution to flash on 12.04LTS ? Pandora stopped working, saying I need to update...but when I search for updates, there are none... ?
[21:25] <bekks> Gooose: Then you have no chance of cloning.
[21:25] <wilee-nilee> !nvidia | peepsalot have you looked here.
[21:26] <minilyn> peepsalot: did you run that script ?
[21:26] <Gooose> bekks - how do I copy from one disk partition to the new one?
[21:26] <mirak> Ari-Yang: i can't right now
[21:26] <bekks> Gooose: Create the partition, create the filesystem, and use "cp"
[21:26] <mirak> Ari-Yang: i will see that again later, thank you for you help
[21:26] <peepsalot> minilyn, i ran nvidia-installer and it told me "no package found for installation"
[21:27] <Ari-Yang> mirak, okay. good luck
[21:27] <Gooose> bekks - can you copy a partition?
[21:27] <draconus> Gooose use dd
[21:27] <bekks> Gooose: Use clonezilla or dd. But make sure it isnt mounted.
[21:28] <Gooose> ok, thanks
[21:28] <eaxxae> it's insane how awesome noise canceling headphones are… Bose QC15, best thing I ever bought. lol.
[21:29] <minilyn> peepsalot: sorry i not understand what you do, i specify....the script nvidia_installer.sh   , you must download from the web and execute it from shell,google it and download it after execute it....its not in package manager or default ubuntu
[21:31] <minilyn> peepsalot: you must execute it in safe mode not graphical environment...and that will install the best driver for you'r nvidia graphic card
[21:36] <Seven_Six_Two> I'm trying to get apt-cache search to only list package names but I can't see how in the man pages... any ideas?
[21:36] <wilee-nilee> dustinspringman, adobe flash in linux is not being updated like for MS and Apple.
[21:36] <Seven_Six_Two> I want to do    sudo apt-get install `sudo apt-cache search packagename`
[21:37] <dustinspringman> wilee-nilee:  so, wth are we supposed to do about all the flash-based things on the interwebs?
[21:37] <dustinspringman> does appear that pandora has updated to html5, so that works via the web intferface in chrome/opera... but now my nuvola player won't load pandora, complains about the flash version being fail....
[21:38] <wilee-nilee> dustinspringman, It works here in 13.04, with stock adobe flash.
[21:39] <dustinspringman> wilee-nilee: nuvola player works?
[21:39] <wilee-nilee> dustinspringman, I'm using firefox.
[21:40] <wilee-nilee> I don't use pandora in general just checking the access
[21:40] <mirak> anyone is using BTRFS ?
[21:43] <wilee-nilee> dustinspringman, Not sure might look here. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nuvola-player/+bug/1058586
[21:44] <Ponch0> im having issues with my wifi realtek driver, anyone else?
[21:44] <Ponch0> download speeds are super choppy
[21:44] <agora> ponch0 have you made sure that it's the adapter and not a router issue?
[21:45] <graingert> Ponch0: check using ethernet
[21:45] <graingert> cable
[21:45] <Ponch0> agora: yup, i've seen people have the same issue with the same driver, just no work around
[21:45] <Ponch0> graingert: checked
[21:45] <graingert> is it a usb stick or internal card?
[21:45] <agora> ponch0 did you try rebooting the router anyways?
[21:45] <graingert> agora: not helpful :p
[21:46] <agora> graingert i try
[21:46] <Ponch0> http://askubuntu.com/questions/289414/rtl8723ae-dirver-problem-ubuntu-13-04
[21:46] <Ponch0> agora: I'll try one min.
[21:47] <agora> ponch0 yea based on that link it's probably not a router connection issue, but you never know
[21:52] <Yulli> Is there any unexpected "bad stuff" that could result from including all quantal repos in a precise installation?
[21:52] <wilee-nilee> Yulli, yes
[21:52] <n0sq> where can i get help with dovecot?
[21:52] <Ponch0> rebooted my router, and my download just stopped half way through now again
[21:52] <genii> Yulli: Broken system, etc
[21:52] <Yulli> wilee-nilee: Okay, what could blow up in my face?
