[05:25] <DUMBSTAR> so in a completely off-set question, Who here likes Windows 8?
[05:25] <aarcane> Syme, Try turning the system off then pressing the keys I specified (or some other specified by your manufacturer) right after you turn your computer on.
[05:25] <nathan> no?
[05:25] <wilee-nilee> !broadcom | nathan
[05:25] <vubuntor661> aarcane: I tried everything,I let unetbootin decide everything and then boot it...still get error
[05:26] <aarcane> vubuntor661, in Universal USB INstaller you set the size to 0MB.  I'm not sure about the native Linux utility.
[05:27] <serviscope_minor> Hi all. Question:  Just installed Ubuntu 12.04. The "synaptics" touch pad seems to be configured oddly. Looking at the output of synclient, TapButton1=1, TapButton2=3 TapButton3=0 which is more or less impossible to use. Easy enough to fix on every log in from a shell using synclient. Any idea how to make the change stick or remove the odd config? nothing in xorg.conf.d does such a remapping. Any idea where else might be s
[05:27] <serviscope_minor> ending settings to it?
[05:27] <Syme> Oh boy! I pressed F1 and 2 and del lightning fast and here's the BIOS after all. Hold on...
[05:27] <vubuntor661> aarcane: I don't set the size...I let it zero
[05:27] <serviscope_minor> to follow up, I quite enjoy having button2 map to button 2 and 3 to 3... :)
[05:28] <serviscope_minor> in the default config it is in fact impossible to middle-click paste.
[05:29] <DUMBSTAR> if your having odd issues when installing or running some operating systems, check in the BIOS that you have any "virtualization" turned off... 2 of the virtual options interfere with things, only turn on if your running a hyper-v or virtual machine server - ignore me if this doesnt apply to you, just sharing :P
[05:29] <Syme> I have a feeling it'll work now. Thanks a lot guy. Sorry if I sounded freaked out. I was. You guys must really care a lot about  open source to put up with people like me!
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> vubuntor661:  ive had issues with unetbootin in the past. i tend to just use dd or some other tools ti image the iso straight to the usb. or some of the tools at the pendrivelinux site that boot iso files via grub
[05:30] <vubuntor661> Dr_Willis: I tried many boot loader for USB
[05:30] <Syme> Though now it's just showing the Linux copyright text and doing nothing. Which I remember from last time! So that's good. But I'm confused again.
[05:30] <vubuntor661> Universal of pendrivelinux,still the same
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> vubuntor661:  you did verify the iso file also?
[05:30] <vubuntor661> Dr_Willis: yes...iso,and its content
[05:31] <vubuntor661> Dr_Willis: 12.04.3 works very well on everything I tried but 13.04 didn't work
[05:32] <nathan> I don't know what to do with this downloaded driver. I have identified my card, and downloaded the suggested driver from the site. Now what?
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> im testing out 13.10 ;)    i tend to stick with the cutting edge.
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> vubuntor661:  ive even set up a hard drive (via a live cd) to boot a ISO file from the hd. to make installing faster - on a tricky machine.
[05:32] <vubuntor661> Dr_Willis: 13.10 is still not official...
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> vubuntor661:  thats why  its being 'tested' ;)
[05:33] <vubuntor661> I will wait until it releases
[05:33] <vubuntor661> Dr_Willis: well,I'm not a developer or tester...I really don't know what to do much
[05:35] <nathan> Any instructions?
[05:38] <ice9> how to capture video from webcam and store it in avi, 3gb or wmv formats
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> ice9:  cheese can do that
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> it will save to webm, which you can easially convert
[05:39] <ice9> Dr_Willis, how do I convert from webm to others, I tried but failed
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> ice9:  how have you tried? its rather easy to do with the video reencoder tools in the repos.
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> winff, ffmpeg. mencoder. handbreak
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> arista.   and perhas others i cant rember
[05:40] <ice9> Dr_Willis, I tried with ffmpeg, can you give me the correct parameter
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> theres is no one corect paramter.
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> look for ffmpeg examples and decide what you need
[05:40] <vubuntor661> how to boot minimalCD on UEFI computer?
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> i tend to just use handbreak and convert things to mp4
[05:41] <nathan> I installed the broadcom drivers. Still no luck.
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> or leave them as webm, whch often are smaller
[05:41] <Syme> I'm stuck on the SYSLINUX page, doesn't seem to want to initiate the setup. Any clues?
[05:45] <DUMBSTAR> alrighty, im gunna go reboot my PC and install Ubuntu, if i dont come back online within 2 hours, then it failed and im screaming at my self :P
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> you can get online from the live desktop as you install...
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> oh well
[05:47] <nathan> Any ideas on what I should do now? Broadcom drivers still a bust.
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> check the askubuntu.com site for guide? or the wiki?  i dont use broadcom.
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[05:53] <nathan> sadly the only instructions are just a bit too complicated for me to follow.
[05:53] <nathan> thanks for the links though.
[06:09] <anonymous87> hello
[06:09] <cfhowlett> anonymous87, greetings
[06:10] <anonymous87> thank you
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> moo
[06:10] <anonymous87> woof
[06:15] <mouse> *Poke*
[06:15] <user_me> My Cpu is overclocked in the Bios but in Ubuntu 13.04 it shows me running at stock is there a way to fix this?
[06:16] <mouse> user_me: I don't know but you could try cpu-governor
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> perhaps it thinks the new overclocked speed is stock. Or its throtteling it down
[06:17] <chocolatemousse> There we go
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> then again - overclocking tends to be best avoided ;)
[06:17] <sl33k_> How do I know at what slot how much RAM is allocated?
[06:17] <user_me> I was looking for it but the ondemand file is missing from my filesystem
[06:17] <chocolatemousse> I agree, OC'ing is dangerous when its handled all tidely for you, doubly so when you don't know much about the kernel
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> i definatly have seen issues with linux in the past running on overclocked hardware.
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> Only thing i overclock these days - is my RaspberryPi ;)
[06:19] <user_me> My CPU reached 4.9ghz in windows without any problem so I figured 4.5ghz in linux would be fine
[06:19] <user_me> stock is 3.5ghz and it takes to long to render video at that speed
[06:19] <chocolatemousse> user_me: well yeah but I think they provide a lot of support for OC'ing these days in Mobos, and probably for Windows
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> so your system is only using 40% of your max cpu.. instead of like 43%  ;)
[06:20] <chocolatemousse> So that people who don't have a clue what they're doing don't break it.
[06:20] <chocolatemousse> I don't know what safety measure are in place for linux.
[06:20] <chocolatemousse> Probably none
[06:21] <user_me> I have a cooling system for my CPU and my temps right now are 80 degrees below the TJ MAX
[06:22] <chocolatemousse> user_me, I'd still look at cpu_govenor
[06:22] <user_me> where is it located?
[06:22] <chocolatemousse> its a package, look it up
[06:23] <user_me> oh ok thank you
[06:23] <chocolatemousse> you can install some Ghz desktop monitor stuff too
[06:23] <chocolatemousse> e.g. that one famous one everyone uses and I can't remember its name...
[06:24] <chocolatemousse> conky
[06:24] <chocolatemousse> you can get conky to run a Ghz monitor
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> thers indicator-applets to show cpu speed and stuff also i thats all you want
[06:24] <user_me> I have conky and psencor
[06:25] <user_me> *Psensor
[06:26] <anonymous87> how am i supposed to used tor
[06:27] <anonymous87> it says it could not launch tor browser
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> anonymous87:  read the tor web site/wiki/setup guide? once you get it going and the browser set to use it as a proxy it should be automatic
[06:27] <user_me> download tor from the website then extract the tor file then click the shell script and it will run
[06:29] <e-mc^2> !tor
[06:43] <rigo88> if i try to log in via putty to the ubuntu i type in to login my login name press enter i have to wait 5sec before i can go futurer.
[06:46] <jpds> rigo88: And you get the same thing with a normal ssh client on a normal Ubuntu machine?
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> ssh localhost     :) to test
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> or from a differnt pc.
[06:47] <rigo88> the ssh localhost does not asks for a username. :) but i try the htpc either.
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> its paseing the username
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> passinmg the username. You could set up putty to send the username also.
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> you could set up keys to not even need the password
[06:48] <rigo88> well. no. from the linux to antoher linux it happens immedietlay
[06:48] <rigo88> no no
[06:48] <rigo88> the same result.
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> sounds like a sshd setting to help throttle down DDos attacks
[06:49] <rigo88> 5sec. lets name the 2 pc-s: server and htpc. from htpc to server 5 sec. from server to htpc 0ms
[06:49] <rigo88> well i installed both machines ALMOST the same way..
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> compare the 2 sshd configs from each box
[06:50] <rigo88> do the installed applications have right to change my sshd config files!?
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> i wouldent think so
[06:50] <rigo88> 'cause i never changed them.
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> there could be some other firewall rules or somthing going on also.
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> might be worth searching on askubuntu.co,
[06:51] <Dr_Willis> .com
[06:51] <rigo88> u mean the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file?
[06:51] <chocolatemousse> rigo88, yes
[06:51] <chocolatemousse> change the sshd config on your linux box
[06:52] <chocolatemousse> rigo88, it might be there to stop 10 year olds from downloading putty on their windows computers and running ssh ddos attacks
[06:52] <chocolatemousse> As Dr_Willis was implying
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> it would be the sshd config file
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> not the ssh config file - i think.
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> could also be some sort of  hosts.allow/deny/firewall stuff going on.
[06:53] <chocolatemousse> or putty could just be slow
[06:53] <rigo88> yep cause the ssh config file is 99% commented out and what is not they are just the same.
[06:53] <chocolatemousse> rigo88, also keep in mind the windows box might be running a hefty firewall
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> is also possible its soe quirk with putty - if your tests show its only affecting putty
[06:54] <chocolatemousse> rigo88, have you tried turning off windows security?
[06:54] <rigo88> like we already figured out this 5sec wait time is present from a linux to another linux eiter. so not a putty problem.
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> try a differnt client on the window box or just dont worry about it. ;)
[06:54] <chocolatemousse> 5 seconds is a lot of time for a computer
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> it sounes like an intentianal delay for anti-ddos stuff
[06:55] <chocolatemousse> I don't blame him for wanting to know where the bottleneck is
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> if he really wanted to login in a hurry.. set up ssh keys and dont use the name/password method
[06:56] <chocolatemousse> *shrug* I don't know how ssh functions but it sounds like a poor way of stopping an attack? if you fail the first time then you can't log in again for 5 seconds
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> now if that still had the delay.. that would be.. interesting
[06:56] <chocolatemousse> there are so many different causes of this problem rigo88 could end up in 20 different irc channels
[06:56] <rigo88> i dont want to try a different client.. the client i use is just fine for me. :)
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> chocolatemousse:  if theres 10000 people attacking your pc.. a 5 sec delay on them can keep your server up instead of lagged to death
[06:56] <rigo88> i cat the sshd_config files and check any differences
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> i have also seen routers that have such throtteling in them
[06:57] <chocolatemousse> Dr_Willis, sure, if it distinguishes people
[06:57] <chocolatemousse> Dr_Willis, I meant it can only log *anyone* once every 5 seconds
[06:57] <chocolatemousse> but the first person to log in doesn't need to wait 5 seconds
[06:57] <chocolatemousse> first come, first served
[06:58] <chocolatemousse> So yeah, the 10k people can all try to DDOS, but they're going to be ddosing the network, not tying up the ssh
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> all the throtteling rules/features ive seen base it on ip i belive.
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> sshd also has verbose logging you may want to turn on and monitor the logs
[06:59] <chocolatemousse> Dr_Willis, well and that makes sense
[06:59] <chocolatemousse> Dr_Willis, I'm just talking about when the timer is started
[07:00] <sl33k> How to know my motherboard model  from command line?
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> !info hwinfo
[07:00] <rigo88> no differences in the 2 files
[07:00] <chocolatemousse> Single IP address logs in, no one, including any other IP address, can log in for the next 5 secs
[07:01] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: hwinfo was directed at me?
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  you asked how to identify hardware
[07:01] <sl33k> yes
[07:01] <chocolatemousse> Less suitable for large installations of course
[07:01] <sl33k> its a package i think
[07:01] <chocolatemousse> Fine for a couple people who want to keep script kiddies off of their back :)
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> hwinfo tool prints out a lot  of hardware info
[07:02] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: installing it thanks
[07:02] <chocolatemousse> assuming you were already logged in, still a DDOS of access in that case but again less of an issue for small installations
[07:05] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: which hardware class in that view? starting part got clipped out in the command line
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  no idea - ive not used that tool in ages.   pipe it to a file. or  hwinfo | more   or check the options it mayhav3 some show only... features
[07:08] <helmut_> hi
[07:08] <Dr_Willis> moo
[07:13] <automatik> can someone help me to format my usb thumbdrive. Gparted is not working.
[07:13] <Dr_Willis> whats not working about it?
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> plug in the flash drive. if it auto mounts. use the cli to unmount it. then use gparted, or the cli to format it as you want
[07:14] <automatik> Dr_Willis: it doesn't automount
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> dont use the  file managers eject/remove/whatever ;)  that can power off the usb port
[07:14] <automatik> cli can't mount or dismount it
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  so you plug it in.. run 'dmesg' to verify its seen
[07:15] <automatik> Dr_Willis: hang on a second?
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> if the thing has hardwre issues where the pc dosent see it - theres not going to be any way to partion or format it.
[07:15] <universe2014> automatik: perhaps it needs a new partition table on the usb
[07:16] <automatik> universe2014: yeah i tried that under gparted but it was a no go
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> gparted should still see if it that was the case. But frist step. plyg it in. determins its /dev/sdX identiy
[07:16] <lopez> howdy ho!
[07:17] <lopez> looging for a MILF
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> look in #foreveralone
[07:18] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36779/ <- result
[07:18] <lopez> why there?
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  seems rather clear.. its an unpartioned disk. you need to partion it
[07:19] <lopez> it has to be some ubuntu using MILF
[07:19] <automatik> ok so i tried that under gparted
[07:19] <automatik> it used msdos
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> automatik:   yep. thats right.
[07:19] <automatik> then tried partition new then that is when the failure message appeared
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> what was the failure message?
[07:20] <lopez> also... I want to buy some weed
[07:20] <lopez> is it an appropriate channel?
[07:20] <automatik> i pasted it in pastebin ^previous linked message
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  that just said it needed a partion table.. which you said you tried to do. and it then said it needed to make a partition table..
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> endless cycle?
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> try partioning it with fdisk perhaps?
[07:21] <automatik> stop for a second
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> did this flash drive used to have data on it?
[07:21] <automatik> hang on for a second,.. i'll explain everything in steps
[07:21] <lopez> Alina-malina
[07:22] <lopez> sounds polish
[07:22] <automatik> initially this drive was used as an installation disk
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  you mean you used dd to put an ISO file on it?
[07:22] <automatik> i used unetbootin or disk creator
[07:23] <automatik> anyway i tried to use the drive but then it wouldn't automount
[07:23] <automatik> i later tried using gparted
[07:23] <automatik> clicked on device
[07:23] <automatik> then create partition table
[07:24] <automatik> it behaved as if a partition was being created
[07:24] <automatik> after it was done i went under partition
[07:24] <automatik> then new
[07:24] <lopez> oh really?
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> sounds to me like it had a hardware failure on the usb. if it was partioned/formated then suddendly became unpartioned.
[07:24] <automatik> and tried to add a new partition
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> you may want to try to zero out the flash with  the dd command, then try to repartition it.
[07:25] <automatik> i posted the failure message on pastebin (what you just read in the link)
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> somthing like 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M'
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> that faulure message says very little. it says its unpartioned and you ned to make a partion on it.. which you cant do.
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> you normally only need to make a partion table on a hard drive once.  when its totally new/untouched
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> the partition 'table' is  a small part of the drive where the system writes partition info.\
[07:27] <lopez> like a maiden's vagina
[07:27] <automatik> understood
[07:27] <automatik> ok so i entered the command you gave me in the cli, and it's still running
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> if you zero out the drive. it should write zeros to the whole drive.  and say how many gb of data it wrote. if it only writes a little bit then exists.. it may be the usb is failing
[07:28] <automatik> ok
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> or failed.. it should take some time to totally zero out the flash drive
[07:28] <automatik> ok
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> how big is the flash drive?
[07:28] <automatik> 4 G
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> that shouldent take to long then
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> dd  will fail/exit when it gets to the end of the drive and print out how much it wrote  - that shouldbe close to 4gb
[07:30] <automatik> ok - here is a message: dd: writing 'writing `/dev/sdc': No space left on device
[07:31] <automatik> gives me some numerical values about records in and out resulting in the amount of drive space on the drive
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> now its a totally zeroed drive. and you can try to repartion it
[07:31] <automatik> cli or gparted?
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> fdisk can handle it
[07:31] <Dacs> hello folks
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> or cfdisk, or parted. or gparted.
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> fdisk is what im used to. ;) but it depends on what you want the fs to be on it
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> sudo fdisk /dev/sdc     let it make a new partition table. make a primary partion, of the type you want. write changes. ;)
[07:33] <Dacs> i would like your assistance please, i am stuck! trying to install ubuntu on my newly built machine amd fx8350 8 core, 16 gb ram and 120 GB SSD. should i install 32bit or 64?
[07:33] <backlight> Hi - on an Acer Aspire 5740 with Ironlake graphics, how can the backlight function keys be fixed to work? This on 13.04. They worked fine in previous versions of Ubuntu, but now all they do is show a notification and do not do any actual changes. Using sudo intel_backlight 0-100 from the terminal does work, but is not acceptable
[07:33] <backlight> Dacs: 64 for certain
[07:34] <Dacs> backlight: hmmm i tried to install 13.4 and when it boots i get grub rescue
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> definatly 64bits
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[07:34] <Dacs> backlight: but i think i was using 32bit
[07:34] <geirha> Note that fdisk does not do formatting, only partitioning; unlike gparted which automatically formats the partitions you create
[07:35] <Dacs> i never owned 64bit before
[07:35] <trx_1> HI
[07:35] <trx_1> everyone
[07:35] <trx_1> ..
[07:36] <Dacs> also i get error: attempt to read or write outside of drive 'hd0'
[07:36] <automatik> Dr_Willis: what partition table would you use for just linux? any personal preference?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> Dacs: That usually means that you have a buggy BIOS that can't properly handle large drives.
[07:36] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  partition TABLE - you use the msdos one in most cases
[07:37] <Jordan_U> Dacs: You can work around that problem by creating a small separate /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive.
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  then you make partions of the type you want to format them to become. ie: a single parimary partition, of type vfat
[07:37] <Dacs> Jordan_U: msi 970a-g43
[07:38] <automatik> partition table yes,.. ok so at the prompt it's displaying "Command (m for help):" trying to enter 'o' to create a new emty Dos partition but it gives me the same prompt afterwards
[07:38] <automatik> *empty
[07:38] <usr13> automatik: n
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  yes.. thats now fdisk works
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> its a menubased tool.
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> N)ew P)rimary Partition, give it the sizes (or hit enter for the whole disk) then set its T)ype as you want.
[07:39] <usr13> automatik: If you type m and hit enter, you get a list of commands.
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> then W)rite changes to disk
[07:40] <sudipj> Can anyone help me understand the relation between mpegtsdemux and tsdemux ?
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> nothing is done to the disk untillyou write the changes
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> p) print disk info to show its layout
[07:41] <automatik> yeah i did what you told me and it shows me the disk info
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> once it looks right. W)rite changes.. then you can format it as needed
[07:41] <automatik> m shows me a menu of the different formats fdisk can create
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> you set the partions type to match the filesystem you want to put on it  normally
[07:42] <automatik> ok
[07:42] <usr13> automatik: l  to list types
[07:43] <automatik> there are a lot from dos to unix and some others
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> type 'c' is common for usb flash for windows
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> or 'b'
[07:44] <automatik> ok i entered 'c'
[07:44] <usr13> automatik: That's fine
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> write changes. then you should be to format /dev/sdc1 or whatever it was
[07:44] <automatik> now i hit 'w'
[07:44] <usr13> automatik: p again will show you what you have so far.
[07:45] <usr13> automatik: Yea, when your done  w   to write changes and exit.
[07:45] <usr13> automatik: q  will back you out without writing changes.
[07:45] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36785/
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> eithr you dident write the changes. or you dident make a partition, or its failing to write the changes  sounds like
[07:47] <automatik> ok so i enterec c and w then the program closes and am now at the cli again
[07:47] <usr13> automatik: n
[07:47] <automatik> maybe the drive really is bad
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> yes.. you write changes.. and it exists
[07:48] <universe2014> not asuming that but if a stick is broken sometimes it can be repaired using mass production tools for the chip inside of it. but i think thats a bit ahead of the situation
[07:48] <Dr_Willis>  if you do a 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc' it should show a partion
[07:49] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36786/
[07:49] <usr13> automatik: You have yet to create a partition.
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> try fdisk again. just N)ew P)rimary   Hit enter a few times for start and end, and W)rite
[07:49] <automatik> ok
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> then check fdisk -l output
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> thats about as simple as it gets. ;)
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> it may want the #1 for the partion Number. I cant rember
[07:50] <Dacs> wow 17 hrs to download :S
[07:50] <tozen> universe2014: what about?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> actually - if its no  longer mentioning needing a partion table.. then gparted MAY work now on it also
[07:51] <universe2014> tozen: that was about automatik usb stick
[07:51] <automatik> ok so i hit p for primary and now it's asking me for a First cylinder default 0cyl):
[07:51] <usr13> automatik: n  for new partition.  p  for primary partition.  It will be partition number 1  make it for the whole disk, so just hit enter twice for beginning and end    t for type, choose   b
[07:51] <automatik> ok
[07:51] <usr13> automatik: hit enter
[07:52] <automatik> then hit w?
[07:52] <usr13> t
[07:52] <usr13> automatik: Set the type    t
[07:52] <automatik> it says Partition number 1-1:
[07:52] <Ba7a7chy> Hello, what is the best way to get in touch with the Canonical Sales Team ?
[07:52] <usr13> Yes 1
[07:53] <usr13> Partition number   1
[07:53] <auronandace> !canonical | Ba7a7chy
[07:53] <automatik> ok so i  hit enter then enter now i hit 1.... ok
[07:53] <usr13> enter
[07:53] <automatik> asking for Hex code
[07:53] <Ba7a7chy> !canonical
[07:53] <usr13> p   to look at what you've done.
[07:53] <automatik> L to list codes
[07:54] <usr13> automatik: l   to list    Or just choose b
[07:54] <automatik> ok b
[07:54] <usr13> p   to look at what you've done
[07:54] <Sicno> hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04.3 64 bit on an HP all-in-one PC from a bootable usb drive but at some point while trying to launch a live session or install ubuntu I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt". I've tried both Lili and UNetbootin for creating the usb drive, same result.
[07:55] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36787/
[07:55] <usr13> automatik: Ok, there you go...
[07:56] <usr13> !md5sum | Sicno
[07:56] <automatik> ok so now i hit w
[07:56] <usr13> automatik: Yes
[07:56] <usr13> w
[07:57] <usr13> automatik: And to format,  mkfs.vfat
[07:57] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36788/
[07:57] <universe2014> Sicno:  did you try noapic acpi=off? and such nolapic boot options
[07:58] <usr13> automatik: What did it say when you hit  w   ?
[07:58] <automatik> ok so fdisk mkfs.vfat ?
[07:58] <usr13> automatik: Any error?
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> err.. fdisk is a command.. mkfs.vfat is a command. ;)
[07:58] <automatik> oops ok
[07:58] <usr13> automatik: (It doesn't look like you created the partition yet.
[07:58] <Sicno> universe2014: no, how do I set those?
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> fdisk mkfs.vfat is  not a command :)
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  try unplug/plugging back in the usb
[07:59] <universe2014> esc on grub menu
[07:59] <sl33k> what is my motherboard model from this `lshw` output? http://bpaste.net/show/g7KyY44Rd7fhbi42x41E/
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> ive seen cases wher eif you partion a disk - the system dosent see the changes untill its removes/put back
[07:59] <automatik> ok
[07:59] <usr13> Dr_Willis: fdisk will usually auto-sync
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> usr13:  yea it should.. ive also seen it not. but thats beenb age ago
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  looks like    047MWF       to me
[08:00] <usr13> Ok, I'm not to familiar with efi
[08:00] <universe2014> Sicno: escape on grup menu and edit kernel line  type the options in the line
[08:01] <universe2014> perhaps easyer if you find example on a site
[08:01] <usr13> automatik: Did you unplug and plug it back in again?
[08:01] <automatik> just a sec
[08:02] <automatik> ok done
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> check dmesg output. at the end.. it should mention the drive and info about it  automatik
[08:02] <automatik> ok so fdisk -l /dev/sdc ?
[08:02] <usr13> automatik: Yes
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> and check fdisk -l, to see
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> dmesg might mention some errors
[08:03] <usr13> ... if there are any
[08:03] <Sicno> universe2014: ok, I'll try
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> in the time ive been here helping get his 4gb flash working.. ive been paid enough from work to buy like 20 of them . ;P
[08:04] <usr13> automatik: If  fdisk -l /dev/sdc    does not show the partition, type   dmesg    and hit enter, see what it says near the end.
[08:04] <Reflex|UORage> hello, I'm trying to install some libraries and dependencies that are required for those libraries.. having some issues can someone tell me what exactly i'm doing wrong? http://bpaste.net/show/S3meXpmWqUlQuNJBy4v1/
[08:04] <usr13> Well........  it's a good learning experience.
[08:05] <automatik> ok hang on - (just wondering if there is a grep for displaying only issues concerning the sdc drive)
[08:05] <usr13> automatik: Still not showing the new partition?
[08:05] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36791/
[08:06] <universe2014> Reflex|UORage: i think you need libgmp development installed
[08:06] <automatik> usr13: doesn't seem like it
[08:06] <usr13> automatik: And   fdisk -l /dev/sdc   still does not show a partition?
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> !info lsh
[08:07] <automatik> just a second
[08:08] <usr13> !info lshw
[08:08] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36792/
[08:08] <automatik> it seems as if it isn't
[08:09] <usr13> automatik: When you hit  w   and then enter, did it give any sort of error when it exited?
[08:09] <automatik> no it just exited
[08:09] <usr13> automatik: What did it say?
[08:10] <automatik> just a second please
[08:10] <usr13> automatik: I don't know then.  I'm stumped.
[08:10] <Reflex|UORage> universe: configure: error:

[08:11] <Dr_Willis> !find gmp.h
[08:12] <Reflex|UORage> Dr_Willis it's in my bpaste link.
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> but if its in the repos.. why not use that one
[08:12] <universe2014> Reflex|UORage: you need to try find all it says not found and install those untill it works .
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> but it seems a rather generic file ;)
[08:12] <Reflex|UORage> Dr_willis ehm?
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> gmp.h seems to be in the regular -dev packages. so whats so speical about yours?
[08:13] <automatik> there was no error message it just said not to forget to update /etc/fstab if necessary
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> !info gmp
[08:14] <usr13> automatik: can you copy and paste it?
[08:14] <usr13> automatik: pastebin

[08:15] <Reflex|UORage> i dont have root to the box right now either.

[08:18] <usr13> automatik: Why were you hitting   o   ?
[08:18] <usr13> automatik:  "o   create a new empty DOS partition table"
[08:19] <automatik> yes,.. this was before i got the info from you
[08:19] <usr13> automatik: You were wiping out what you dis with the   o   command.
[08:19] <automatik> oh ok
[08:19] <automatik> i didn't know
[08:19] <usr13> automatik:  "o   create a new *empty* DOS partition table"
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  you wtite a table ONCE when the disk is unallocaged/brand new. then you shouldent need to . unles syou zero it out like we did the first time
[08:20] <usr13> automatik: n  t  b  w
[08:20] <automatik> ok like i said i didn't know
[08:20] <usr13> automatik: Well try again.
[08:21] <automatik> ok sorry
[08:24] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: using that I searched google but it does not show any relevant pages for Intel website.
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  dident the info say it was a dell machine?
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> or am i missrembering
[08:25] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: yes it says.
[08:26] <sl33k> 047MWF search does not give anything pertinent. what am i missing?
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  dell may make their own custome motheboards (or have them made) what are you trying to determine exactly?
[08:27] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: The maximum RAM it supports and the combination of sizes (1 2GB, 1 1GB etc)
[08:27] <liquid-silence> hi all
[08:27] <liquid-silence> is there a way to setup a l2tp connection without ipsec
[08:27] <liquid-silence> with a static ip?
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  from what i recall sites like the crucial ram site can let you enter the   company/make/model and tell you
[08:28] <liquid-silence> I cannot find a decent tool
[08:28] <sl33k> Dr_Willis: will check. much obliged.
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> sl33k:  i was looking at ssd's and ram for my netbook earlier. ;)
[08:28] <sl33k> :)
[08:29] <usr13> liquid-silence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer_2_Tunneling_Protocol
[08:29] <liquid-silence> usr13 I know what it is
[08:29] <liquid-silence> lol
[08:29] <liquid-silence> was just hoping there is a easy way for me to do it
[08:30] <usr13> liquid-silence: "The process of setting up an L2TP/IPsec VPN is as follows:"  .....
[08:30] <Sicno> universe2014: acpi=off did the trick, thatnks a lot!  :D
[08:31] <liquid-silence> usr13 I just want to get the client to connect  to the server
[08:31] <liquid-silence> I have the server already
[08:31] <liquid-silence> or well the ISP has setup the server
[08:32] <MonkeyDust> liquid-silence  is this useful http://www.bestvpnservice.com/blog/how-to-use-l2tp-without-ipsec/
[08:33] <usr13> automatik:  Did you get it?
[08:33] <MonkeyDust> liquid-silence  i was too fast, it's for windows
[08:33] <liquid-silence> MonkeyDust also for windows :P
[08:35] <MonkeyDust> liquid-silence  or this http://www.xinotes.org/notes/note/1511/
[08:35] <liquid-silence> MonkeyDust is that not more for a server?
[08:35] <liquid-silence> and not a client?
[08:36] <liquid-silence> I am trying to connect to a client
[08:36] <MonkeyDust> liquid-silence  you're more familiar with it, they are just hints, i hope they are useful
[08:37] <automatik> yeah i retried and did everything you told me to do
[08:37] <automatik> should i now try mkfs.vfat?
[08:38] <usr13> automatik: Yes
[08:38] <usr13> ... to format it.
[08:38] <liquid-silence> MonkeyDust ye
[08:38] <usr13> (the new partition), (It's not much good until you format it)
[08:39] <automatik> ok i'm also ignorant to mkfs.vfat
[08:40] <|Sicno|> my internet crashed  :\
[08:40] <usr13> automatik: mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1   #Where sdc1 is the actual partition you want to format, (don't do the *wrong* one).
[08:40] <usr13> automatik: fdisk -l     #To verify
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> and sudo blkid to verify the verification
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> 'sudo fdisk -l' 'sudo blkid'
[08:42] <usr13> automatik: Yea, you have to use sudo
[08:43] <automatik> under sudo blkid; /dev/sdc doesn't even show up
[08:43] <justaguy> i like ubuntu, it just saves money when you go to the pc store, they instantly like you because you use linux and repair 1 key on your keyboard for free
[08:43] <justaguy> ubuntu, you have karma
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> repair a keyboard? ;)
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> i gave away about 20 keyboards the other day
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  does it mention sdc1 ?
[08:44] <automatik> no
[08:44] <automatik> only what's on the local drive
[08:44] <usr13> automatik: Really?  You don't see sdc1
[08:44] <justaguy> i could do that too, i have lots of pc waste here, i probably have like 10 ps2 keyboards
[08:45] <automatik> correct
[08:45] <usr13> automatik: At any rate, did you format it?
[08:45] <automatik> under sudo blkid
[08:45] <usr13> automatik: pastebinit
[08:45] <automatik> ok
[08:47] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36802/
[08:48] <jdoles> How can I get Firefox to work? It says that the profile is not accessible or cannot be loaded. I already mv'ed firefox to firefoxold, but that didn't even help.
[08:48] <usr13> automatik: Have you created a partition on sdc yet?
[08:48] <usr13> automatik: sudo fdisk -l  |pastebinit
[08:51] <automatik> http://paste.debian.net/36803/
[08:52] <usr13> automatik: You still don't have a partition on /dev/sdc
[08:52] <usr13> What happened?
[08:52] <automatik> i don't know
[08:53] <automatik> under fdisk i did what you said
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> pastebin the whole fdisk session perhaps?
[08:53] <automatik> no
[08:53] <usr13> Dr_Willis: He did,  http://paste.debian.net/36802/
[08:54] <usr13> Dr_Willis: Only thing is, he did not  do  p   to show the partition he created, he just did    w   (without looking at it), so it doesn't show a partition table for us to see.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> that is NOT correct
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> you  use /dev/sdc1
[08:55] <usr13> Dr_Willis: But he had no choice, because he did not have sdc1  (I suppose).
[08:55] <Dacs> seriously this suck :S so i have installed 13.4 64bit and reboot i get purple screen
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> if he formated sdc. then that would mess up the partion table again I belive
[08:55] <usr13> !nomodeset | Dacs
[08:56] <usr13> Dr_Willis: I don't think it would let him.  Well I don't know for sure.
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> but it does look like itd not taking the changes
[08:56] <Dacs> wow, just now  i got login screen
[08:56] <Dacs> is this normal
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> you boot and get a login screen... thats normal..
[08:56] <automatik> should i try it again with p?
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> unless you want to be a bit mroe detailed
[08:57] <usr13> Dr_Willis: Oh, I see, he did  "sudo mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdc"   and wiped it.  haha
[08:57] <usr13> automatik: Do you see what you did?
[08:57] <automatik> oh man
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> usr13:  bingo
[08:57] <automatik> ok what did i do wrong?
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> you formated the drive. not the partition
[08:58] <Dacs> Dr_Willis: no , okay so i booted after installing 13.4 64bit , i got a purple screen for ~ 4min then i got the login screen
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> that erased the partion table
[08:58] <automatik> *sigh* ok
[08:58] <usr13> automatik: You were supposed to use command   sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1     (But you did sda and forced it.)
[08:58] <Dacs> oh lord and on my unity nothing is clickable
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> automatik:  actually gparted MAY work now on the drive
[08:59] <usr13> automatik: You format a *partition*  (not a drive).
[08:59] <automatik> yeah i get it now
[09:00] <Dacs> Dr_Willis: any suggestions on what this could be
[09:00] <dark_cyber> heloo all
[09:00] <dark_cyber> i have problem
[09:01] <usr13> automatik has thoughraly learned the process, (he has made almost every mistake he could). *almost* ;)
[09:01] <automatik> just wait I'll find something new
[09:01] <usr13> Danger Will Robinson, automatik at the keyboard.
[09:01] <dark_cyber> i can not chmod my file
[09:02] <dark_cyber> how to solve it ?
[09:02] <usr13> dark_cyber: Your file?
[09:02] <Etna> anyone read this yet? Intel removes Xmir support from its driver: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ1NjY
[09:02] <usr13> dark_cyber: ls -l  your-file  #Who's is it really?
[09:02] <Etna> what will this mean for Mir?
[09:03] <usr13> dark_cyber: (try sudo)
[09:03] <Etna> is Canonical going to have to patch their own drivers and toolkits?
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> Dacs:  try the 'noquite nofb nosplash text' options and watch it boot and see if somthing takes a long time
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> Etna:  of course they may add it back in  a month from now.. who can tell with those companies.

[09:05] <dark_cyber> $ whoami
[09:05] <dark_cyber> apache
[09:05] <dark_cyber> what is Linux 9247.vn 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Fri Apr 2 14:58:35 EDT 2010 i686
[09:05] <dark_cyber> is that ubuntu ?
[09:05] <usr13> dark_cyber: chmod 644 index.html
[09:06] <Dacs> Dr_Willis: how do i use this option?
[09:06] <kimda> hi. I am experiencing intermitted network connection issues. Most of the time I can connect really fast via ssh. And sometimes it will take a couple of seconds to get the login prompt. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> Dacs:  same as you would use the nomodeset option, onlly replace 'quiet splash' with the options above
[09:07] <dark_cyber> nothing happen usr13
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[09:07] <phil4444> how can i enable boot logging?
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> or try the text option (this will let you see all the logging)
[09:07] <dark_cyber> i try whoami and get apache... this is php shell
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> !text
[09:07] <Etna> Dr_Willis: Hard to think of Xmir support from Intel for the forseeable future given the absolute tone from upper management.
[09:07] <dark_cyber> no local linux
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> Etna:  ive learned that the big companies are playing their own games.. and not to worry about  it. ;)
[09:08] <imark> dark_cyber: if you're logged in as user apache but your index.html files is owned by trieunhat1 you can't chmod it without sudo, right??
[09:09] <Etna> it matters because it means i can no longer simply download and compile upstream Mesa and X drivers on Ubuntu
[09:09] <dark_cyber> yeah yeah i know... because different user right ?
[09:09] <imark> yes
[09:09] <usr13> dark_cyber: Right
[09:10] <usr13> why are you apache?   Did you su - apache  ?

[09:17] <usr13> dark_cyber: Just put your files in /home/  and use a symlink.
[09:17] <gvo> dark_cyber: what version of Ubuntu?
[09:17] <dark_cyber> what is symlink
[09:17] <dark_cyber> ?

[09:18] <dark_cyber> Linux 9247.vn 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Fri Apr 2 14:58:35 EDT 2010 i686
[09:18] <MonkeyDust> dark_cyber  a copy of an existing file, if you change the copy, the actual file is changed too
[09:18] <gvo> dark_cyber: cat /etc/issue
[09:18] <usr13> mkdir /home/trieunhart1/public_html ;  ln -s /home/trieunhart1/public_html  /var/www/site1
[09:18] <usr13> dark_cyber: Or where ever DocumentRoot is.

[11:00] <m4tux> anyone can help .?
[11:01] <blazemore> m4tux: I'm not sure what you mean by "surpress some icon" could you rephrase?

[11:05] <m4tux> http://twitpic.com/dcj092 that's a screenshot
[11:06] <m4tux> i wanna delete some icon
[11:06] <dreamon> Is there a way to be connected by Lan and Wlan at the same time on same network. Only if one is disconnted the other takes the function.
[11:06] <m4tux> blazemore,  http://twitpic.com/dcj092 that's a screenshot and i wanna delete some icon

[11:08] <mr_Block> CMON
[11:09] <te5ita> dreamon, I think you could probably do that with Ubuntu's default Network Manager. Which do you want to have priority, WLAN or LAN?
[11:10] <mr_Block> how can i install another DE after removing unity through console
[11:10] <dreamon> te5ita, LAN would be faster. I use most time wlan but if lan is present it should get priority
[11:10] <m4tux> http://twitpic.com/dcj092 , i want to delete some icons in the desktop menu , any idea of how i can do it ?
[11:11] <dreamon> te5ita, I couldnt find this in "nm". Using Ubuntu 12.04
[11:12] <te5ita> Well you might be able to just set up both eth0 and your wireless in the applet's GUI
[11:13] <blazemore> m4tux: Can't you right click on them and do remove?
[11:13] <te5ita> And then when your Ethernet or whatever it's connected, it should automatically override the wireless connection
[11:13] <dreamon> te5ita, should the use same IPs?
[11:13] <te5ita> I don't think that matters tbh
[11:13] <m4tux> when i right click on them i got 2 options
[11:13] <mr_Block> hm, i think i will try rm -rf /*
[11:14] <m4tux> when i right click on them i got 2 options launch & options
[11:14] <m4tux> blazemore, can't find a delete option
[11:14] <te5ita> Bear in mind that I'm no expert, just using and intermediate user's intuition
[11:14] <SchrodingersScat> dreamon: I think i remember someone talking about a load balancing feature in linux, but you'll need someone more experienced than I, good luck.
[11:15] <dreamon> te5ita, Any idea where I can ask?
[11:15] <mr_Block> hmm, tried everything i found on the net to repair my ubuntu, unfortunately nothing helped
[11:15] <mr_Block> so rm -rf /* seems to be the best option
[11:15] <mr_Block> and go back to windows or another linux distro
[11:16] <SchrodingersScat> mr_Block: have you tried apt-get for installing packages?
[11:16] <blazemore> m4tux: What options are there?
[11:16] <mr_Block> yes
[11:16] <mr_Block> most things say 0 packages recieved installed etc SchrodingersScat
[11:17] <mr_Block> and all the ways i found to switch, reset, remove, reinstall my driver fail SchrodingersScat
[11:17] <m4tux> blazemore, i told you , when i right click on them i got 2 options launch & options
[11:18] <m4tux> blazemore, did you have and idea how can i delete it with command line ?
[11:18] <wilee-nilee> m4tux, Your using the fallback desktop only made really as an after thought for those that can't adapt.
[11:18] <blazemore> m4tux: What if you alt and right-click

[11:56] <michael87> I love using the hot corner feature on ubuntu 13.04 via unity tweak tool. I have a question though . I saw a ubuntu user change the color the hot corner select glow from orange to another color. My question is how do I change that?
[11:57] <blazemore> michael87: There's an option for that in Unity Tweak Tool http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3e6akcMBYEA/UUWY1zC0BXI/AAAAAAAAOlI/XqLoe6fVBGM/s1600/unity-tweak-tool_2.png

[11:59] <The_Chronicler> hi, quick question. i've got a lot of dead links to old external hdds in my /media folder. is there any way to remove them?
[11:59] <michael87> blazemore, that only changes the color of the window snapping. What i am talking about is the hot corner feature that lets you see all your windows at once and when you have your cursor hovering over a window it glows. want to change the color on that
[11:59] <bekks> The_Chronicler: Yes, "rm" them,
[12:00] <blazemore> michael87: Are you sure they were using Unity and not Cinnamon?
[12:01] <The_Chronicler> is the command "rm /media/[name of dead folder]? thanks for the help by the way
[12:01] <michael87> blazemore, they where using unity
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> michael87  use unity-tweak-tool
[12:02] <elglas> The_Chronicler, (use this with extreme caution) open up a terminal and type: "sudo rm -r /media/<the first few characters><tab>" the tab will auto complete for the link name
[12:02] <michael87> MonkeyDust, unity tweak tool is open. I have looked through all the settings and still haven't found how to change that
[12:03] <The_Chronicler> great, thanks for the help. i'll make sure not to accidentally remove my ubuntu install, lol
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> michael87  hmm, odd, try gnome-tweak-tool or ubuntu-tweak, if that doesnt help, then i don't know
[12:04] <elglas> The_Chronicler, no problem, also, always keep backups of anything vital :)
[12:07] <michael87> MonkeyDust, its ok. Its only a miner irateness. I am personally glad with all the tweaks I have made with my unity desktop. the one thing I loved about the kde desktop (windows glowwing) I learned how to do thanks to compiz settings. linux is amazing. Ubuntu is amazing. hope the window snap here in 13.04 stays
[12:33] <tozen> hi all! was installed wallpapers from previous versions on my ubuntu 12.04.3 using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers 10.04 10.10 command but opening Appearance settings I couldn find them there... doeas anbd able to halp me to sort out this issue, please? thx
[12:34] <tozen> * does * help
[12:38] <cfhowlett> tozen, 10.04 is end of life so you can't apt get easily.  I'd say download the ISO and either install to a virtual machine and copy or extract from the ISO
[12:39] <cfhowlett> tozen, you MIGHT be able to get the wallpaper from the 10.04 wiki but you'll have to hunt around the official artwork link

[12:47] <marloshouse> and i'm reading it right now
[12:47] <marloshouse> (or installing something from it)
[12:47] <gordonjcp> marloshouse: type "mount" and work it out from there
[12:48] <marloshouse> well, i'm installing windows
[12:48] <gordonjcp> marloshouse: it may not be mounted automatically
[12:48] <marloshouse> it's not in mount
[12:48] <gordonjcp> okay, so it's not mounted automatically
[12:48] <marloshouse> virtualbox found it and is installing windows from it right now
[12:48] <gordonjcp> which kind of makes sense, since the server edition doesn't do that
[12:48] <marloshouse> where did virtualbox get it from?
[12:49] <neredsenvy> Can someone help me here I have a HDD with Ubuntu running on it and SSD nothing on it I can select both as bootable in boot menu. http://worldotech.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/how-to-install-windows-7-or-windows-8-from-your-external-hard-drive/ I followed this tutorial to install Windows from external HDD the SSD in my case to my HDD that is running Ubuntu
[12:49] <neredsenvy> However I'm stuck at step 3
[12:49] <neredsenvy> Anyway to do that In Ubuntu ?
[12:49] <bekks> marloshouse: From the cd, which you configured in the vbox settings,.
[12:49] <sakshi> bekks: It's written CMOS Camera lens
[12:49] <bekks> sakshi: Where is that written?
[12:49] <marloshouse> sr0 virtualbox says
[12:49] <marloshouse> hmm
[12:50] <bekks> marloshouse: You configured your vm to use that drive.
[12:50] <marloshouse> weird
[12:50] <sakshi> bekks: In the manual.
[12:50] <marloshouse> i just expected it to be 'mount'ed somewhere
[12:50] <bekks> sakshi: The manual is irrelevant at that point. Which chipset is it?
[12:51] <sakshi> bekks: How do I find that?
[12:51] <bekks> 33
[12:51] <bekks> sakshi: Use lsusb
[12:54] <marloshouse> ok, so, since my cdrom is not mounted like i expected, how can I get it mounted, or identify which device it is.  in dmesg | grep sd I don't see any devices as 'sdd' or something that i'd expect to be the cdrom
[12:55] <bekks> marloshouse: use the "mount" command.
[13:00] <Giupizz93> Hi
[13:01] <marloshouse> i feel completely inept... there is no cdrom in fstab or mtab
[13:01] <bekks> marloshouse: You dont need a fstab entry to mount a cdrom.

[13:01] <tozen> this helped me
[13:02] <cfhowlett> tozen, nice.  What I did: I wanted the UbuntuStudio and Ubuntu Satanic wallpapers.  Downloaded all and put archived them to UbuntuOne.  Ready whenever I need them.
[13:02] <oscar> Can anyone help me with my problem about suspending in Ubuntu 13.04?
[13:03] <bekks> oscar: You have to state your problem first.
[13:03] <sakshi> eimis: Nope.
[13:03] <tozen> cfhowlett: ok ;)
[13:04] <oscar> Whenever I open my computer after suspending it, my screen goes crazy, it flashes tons of different colours. It seems that the OS still works when it does this, I just cant make out anything
[13:04] <bekks> oscar: So which Ubuntu do you use, which graphics driver and which kernel?
[13:05] <oscar> Ubuntu Version: 13.04
[13:05] <oscar> whats a kernel sorry?
[13:05] <bekks> !kernel | oscar
[13:05] <bekks> oscar: Whats the output of "uname -a"?
[13:06] <sakshi> bekks: Isusb command not found :(
[13:06] <oscar> I have no Idea, I just got Ubuntu a day ago
[13:06] <oscar> This is all new to me
[13:06] <bekks> sakshi: it is a lowercase L, not an uppercase i
[13:06] <bekks> oscar: Then ope a terminal and type it in.
[13:07] <sakshi> bekks: No command 'isusb' found,

[13:08] <Nox_404> Hi, i made a mistake, on an ubuntu server 12.04 i create a bridge between eth0 and another bridge (i wrote the wrong iface) so now i can't reconnect this server ! (using ssh). If i reboot the server will my connection be back ?
[13:08] <oscar> Does that help bekks?
[13:09] <bekks> oscar: We need to know which graphics hardware and which driver yoiu are using.
[13:09] <sakshi> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6079058/
[13:10] <HelloWorld3211> I've got a unity destop with some weird graphical goings-on ... they're static (not moving, and much of some windows are fine.  What it looks like is that the "left side bar" hase expaded the first five icons across the entire width of the screen.  The mouse is frozen, but I can SSH (PuTTY) into it.  How can I reset the desktop?  I'd prefer not to reboot because I have unsaved work.
[13:10] <oscar> Graphics:  AMD RV710
[13:10] <bekks> sakshi: Look at line 7, thats your webcam,
[13:10] <oscar> Driver: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV710
[13:10] <krux> HelloWorld3211, sudo service lightdm restart
[13:10] <bekks> oscar: Where do you get that driver info from?
[13:10] <sakshi> bekks: right
[13:11] <HelloWorld3211> thanks krux, I'll give that a shot
[13:11] <Nox_404> answer me please
[13:11] <oscar> From Details
[13:11] <cfhowlett> Nox_404, suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server
[13:11] <bekks> Nox_404: We dont know how exactly you did that - so we cant answer that question.
[13:11] <Nox_404> cfhowlett: thanks i'll try
[13:12] <bekks> oscar: From details _where_?
[13:12] <bekks> oscar: We dont see your screen.
[13:12] <oscar> I just searched System, and Details came up
[13:12] <oscar> from the Dash thing
[13:12] <sakshi> bekks: Now?
[13:13] <bekks> oscar: And gallium is not a driver. You are using radean, dont you?
[13:13] <Nox_404> bekks: I just made a bridge between an iface (eth0) and another bidge with `brctl addif`
[13:13] <bekks> sakshi: Now you have to search wether that device is supported.
[13:13] <oscar> I would assume that yeah
[13:13] <bekks> oscar: Look it up please.
[13:13] <bekks> !radeon|oscar
[13:14] <oscar> It just says this: Driver Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV710
[13:14] <bekks> oscar: Gallium is not a driver.
[13:14] <oscar> I got this laptop in 2009, and I havnt installed any new drivers, maybe it just dosnt exist anymore?
[13:14] <bekks> oscar: Nope.
[13:15] <bekks> oscar: Please read the link the bot gave you.
[13:15] <cfhowlett> oscar, entirely possible
[13:15] <bekks> cfhowlett: radeon drivers still exist.
[13:15] <cfhowlett> bekks, I know.  I was speaking to Gallium driver he mentioned.
[13:17] <HelloWorld3211> that doesn't have visible results, but the heat-monitor decided to turn the fan up, so it's doing something
[13:17] <HelloWorld3211> I've got a unity destop with some weird graphical goings-on ... they're static (not moving, and much of some windows are fine.  What it looks like is that the "left side bar" hase expaded the first five icons across the entire width of the screen.  The mouse is frozen, but I can SSH (PuTTY) into it.  Using "sudo service lightdm restart" doesn't have a visible result.
[13:18] <HelloWorld3211> I'm reading a related SuperUser article.  What does Ctl+Alt+Bcksp do?  What is Alt-Sys-REISUB ?
[13:20] <bekks> HelloWorld3211: Better read the official ubuntu wiki.
[13:20] <bekks> !sysrq | HelloWorld3211
[13:21] <HelloWorld3211> k, tx
[13:24] <HelloWorld3211> I don't think REISUB is what I want to mess with today.
[13:25] <bekks> HelloWorld3211: You dont have to mmess with it, you have to know that it exists.
[13:25] <HelloWorld3211> bekks: that's pretty much my perspective at this time.   "Oooo: neat to know"
[13:29] <patrick> hi
[13:32] <neredsenvy> In ubuntu how can I make a drive bootable ? I formated my SSD extracted Windows 8 iso contents to it.
[13:32] <neredsenvy> I just need to make it bootable in Windows the command is bootsec
[13:32] <neredsenvy> Whats the alternative in Ubuntu ?
[13:33] <challach> hello
[13:33] <eimis> hi
[13:33] <cactuswizard> hi
[13:33] <challach> after making some customizations i always have to double click on a program in the taskbar to switch to it. how can i change this behavior? it's really annoying.
[13:33] <challach> i want to change it to single click how it was before. please help
[13:34] <eimis> are you running unity?
[13:34] <jrib> neredsenvy: are you using grub?
[13:34] <challach> in the mouse settings it's applied fir single click
[13:34] <challach> no i'm running kde
[13:35] <neredsenvy> jrib: No I simply mounted the drive, formated to NTFS extracted ISO contents to it and now i need to make it bootable. I followed this tutorial http://worldotech.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/how-to-install-windows-7-or-windows-8-from-your-external-hard-drive/
[13:35] <neredsenvy> Stuck at step Three
[13:35] <jrib> neredsenvy: you can use parted or gparted
[13:36] <neredsenvy> jrib: I have gparted
[13:36] <neredsenvy> How do I make the drive bootable from gparted ?
[13:36] <jrib> neredsenvy: it should be exposed in the gui.  Try exploring the menus or right clicking on the partition and look for "flags"
[13:37] <jrib> neredsenvy: http://www.gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-manage-partition-flags
[13:37] <challach> don't know what to do anymore. can't find anything for this problem on google
[13:38] <same22> hi all
[13:38] <challach> i don't know from where it came from
[13:38] <neredsenvy> jrib: Ok found it under Manage Flags: I have options boot/diag/hidden/lba/lvm/palo/prep/raid I'm assuming i'm selecting boot
[13:38] <challach> hi
[13:40] <tkeith> How can I figure out why a certain package is installed -- whether it's installed by default or as a dependency of another package?
[13:40] <jrib> neredsenvy: that seems like a reasonable assumption
[13:40] <jrib> tkeith: aptitude why package; hold for non-aptitude solution
[13:42] <jrib> tkeith: use apt-mark show*; not sure if there's a way to query about a specific package (there likely is), but you can grep the output of the various show* subcommands to apt-mark
[13:43] <sakshi> bekks: I am trying this http://gl860.sourceforge.net/. But seems difficult.
[13:43] <jrib> tkeith: why do you care about this information by the way?
[13:43] <tkeith> jrib: Ok thanks, I've got aptitude but I don't understand the output. I'm trying to figure out why unattended-upgrades is installed. Here's the "aptitude why unattended-upgrades" output: http://pastebin.com/iDaPAwiV
[13:44] <jrib> tkeith: there are some examples in aptitude's man page
[13:45] <Ice_Strike> root@back:~# modprobe fuse
[13:45] <Ice_Strike> FATAL: Module fuse not found.
[13:46] <Ice_Strike> What to do?
[13:46] <jrib> tkeith: if you've established the package was intsalled as a dependency you can also do: apt-cache rdepends unattended-upgrades
[13:48] <jrib> Ice_Strike: why do you want to modprobe fuse?
[13:48] <mithu> ubuntu 13.04 wifi problem .. works fine in live mode but cant use it after full installation
[13:48] <tkeith> jrib: Oh crap, I aptitude why'ed on the wrong machine. It looks like it's a result of installing firefox.
[13:49] <Ice_Strike> jrib im trying to mout truecrypt image
[13:49] <jrib> tkeith: that's weird
[13:49] <tkeith> Are recommends packages usually necessary? Why are they installed by default?
[13:50] <cactuswizard> i don't think so
[13:50] <jrib> tkeith: they're packages the maintainer "recommends" in the sense that they enable functionality most people would expect/want.  Yes, they are installed by default
[13:50] <strange> hey guys im sharing wifi through my computer so my computer gets signal then its connected to wan port on a router and spreads it to other boxes from the other box i can connect to the main box but from main box i cant ssh to the other boxes (so from a computer on the router network i can connect to <IP_ADDRESS> which is the main computer but from there i cant connect to <IP_ADDRESS> which is a box on the network)
[13:51] <strange> anyone know how to ?
[13:51] <mithu>  wifi problem .. works fine in live mode but cant use it after full installation
[13:51] <cactuswizard> oh hey
[13:51] <tkeith> It's a funny chain from firefox to unattended-upgrades: http://pastebin.com/gN74z4aA
[13:51] <jrib> Ice_Strike: output of uname -a
[13:51] <cactuswizard> why is ubuntu using only 2gbs of my 4gb ram...
[13:51] <cactuswizard> can
[13:52] <strange> cactuswizard: you sure its not 3?

[13:52] <Prestotron562> Hello.
[13:52] <jrib> Ice_Strike: this doesn't seem like a standard ubuntu kernel from the repositories?  Am I mistaken?
[13:52] <cactuswizard> strange, but i have 64bit technology and 64bit ubuntu too
[13:52] <strange> then it should use all
[13:52] <Prestotron562> Hey guys, have you heard of Minetest?
[13:53] <gvo> Ice_Strike: Are you running OpenVz?
[13:53] <Ice_Strike> Yes OpenVz
[13:53] <jrib> Ice_Strike: ask your provider for help
[13:53] <gvo> On ubuntu?
[13:53] <marloshouse> got a weird networking issue.  i have to super high-speed connections, and i'm rsync an iso over to on.  transfer rate is about 500kB/s, yet speakeasy.net show gb transfer rates on both ends... where would i look for the bottleneck?
[13:54] <Ice_Strike> gvo OpenVz on centOS... running Ubuntu as VM
[13:54] <mrrcp> cactuswizard: you using it on a direct install or virtbox?
[13:54] <gvo> Ice_Strike: You must do all kernel module activity on the hosts, i.e. centos
[13:54] <HelloWorld3211> Is there a way to use SSH to tell gedit to save its buffers?  (my desktop is frozen, but SSH works)
[13:54] <gvo> You can't run modprobe on a container, i.e. Ubuntu
[13:55] <jrib> Ice_Strike: on ubuntu's kernels, fuse gets compiled in I believe
[13:55] <gvo> Ice_Strike: You don't have a kernel in a OpenVz container
[13:55] <gvo> jrib: there is no ubuntu kernel present on his machine, however.
[13:55] <Ice_Strike> so what I do?
[13:56] <jrib> <not an ubuntu issue>
[13:56] <gvo> Install the modules under centos
[13:56] <Ice_Strike> so I need to enable fuse from OpenVz?
[13:56] <Ice_Strike> yea
[13:56] <gvo> jrib exactly
[13:56] <gvo> Ice_Strike: no install it while running a terminal on the HOST centos system.
[13:56] <Ice_Strike> Ah too much hasssle! might as well get s3 for backup use
[13:57] <HelloWorld3211> "sudo stop lightdm" results in "stop: Unknown instance:"; does that suggest anything about my desktop?
[13:58] <sakshi> bekks: Are u around?
[13:58] <Ice_Strike> gvo is it that? http://openvz.org/FUSE
[13:59] <gvo> Looks like it'll work.
[14:00] <sakshi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869263&page=35 I'm using this to enable my 05e3:0503 Genesys Logic, Inc. Webcam.
[14:00] <Ice_Strike> Cool
[14:00] <Ice_Strike> What is fuse?
[14:00] <gvo> user space file system.
[14:02] <gvo> It's a way of letting a normal user define and mount filesystems.  That's a bad explanation but the best I can come up with.
[14:02] <Ice_Strike> I get the point :) thanks.
[14:02] <gvo> The filesystems aren't your normal ext4, etc.
[14:03] <gvo> Are you familiar with ssh?
[14:03] <Ice_Strike> depend
[14:03] <m1chael> i have a windows 8 laptop. i tried to install ubuntu on it a few months ago. i deleted the efi partition and removed ubuntu. however, i still see Ubuntu in the bios/efi boot menu. i tried using 'bcdedit' but do not see Ubuntu in the list. I tried using xubuntu 13.04 x64 'efibootmgr' but there is a bug that does not make the changes. I don't have fast enough internet at the moment to try ubuntu
[14:03] <m1chael> 12.04. is there a way i can do this without downloading ubuntu 12.04?
[14:03] <gvo> OK there is a fuse app called sshfs.
[14:04] <gvo> I can do a sshfs<EMAIL_ADDRESS>mylocaldirectory
[14:04] <Ice_Strike> cool
[14:04] <gvo> well, more like: sshfs jim@example.com:/tmp mylocaldirectory
[14:04] <Ice_Strike> gvo Is there alternative from truecrypt i can use?
[14:04] <Ice_Strike> I want to backup data but it got be encrypted
[14:04] <gvo> And now I've got local access to the /tmp on example.com
[14:05] <jrib> Ice_Strike: you can always just encrypt the file and not use an encrypted filesystem for that
[14:05] <gvo> Ice_Strike: encrypt it on the fly or before you write it to another system.
[14:06] <Ice_Strike> its thousands of files.
[14:06] <jrib> Ice_Strike: create a single one (tar.gz for example).  Duplicity does this all automatically
[14:06] <Ice_Strike> 300GB :P
[14:07] <bwayne> +1 for the suggested use of duplicity
[14:07] <gvo> +2 for duplicity
[14:08] <Ice_Strike> But I want to backup from Windows.
[14:09] <bekks> Ice_Strike: Then use a full blown backup solution running on Windows.
[14:10] <Ice_Strike> I just had a look at duplicity
[14:10] <Ice_Strike> really cool
[14:13] <HelloWorld3211> if "pgrep dm" returns nothing, but I see a "compiz" process, does that mean I'm not running unity?
[14:14] <gvo> If you can figure out how to run things, then you're probably not running unity
[14:16] <zykotick9> HelloWorld3211: actually, currently Unity IS a compiz plugin... so seeing compiz would be a requirement for unity...
[14:16] <editheraven> I want to do a bash script with commands that use root account privileges. So, before script starts running I've made a function to log as root. But after the root login, in script, the console halts. The reast of the code is never executed . If I type exit, the script resumes but without root privileges.. This is my code. http://pastebin.com/r2TZKGT0 Anyone have any idea why?
[14:16] <ikonia> editheraven: why don't you just use sudo correctly ?
[14:17] <ikonia> editheraven: or run the script as root
[14:17] <editheraven> I am helping a friend for a school project and the teacher wants to be prompted to log as root
[14:17] <zykotick9> editheraven: then use something other then ubuntu...
[14:17] <ikonia> editheraven: then why are you helping him if a.) it's a school project b.) you don't know how to do it yourself
[14:18] <ikonia> editheraven: the correct function would be to use sudo or run the scrpit from root
[14:19] <gvo> A rather enlightened school, running linux.
[14:21] <editheraven> yeah...
[14:21] <jrib> ikonia, zykotick9: don't worry "login as root" means "sudo bash" apparently
[14:22] <ikonia> jrib: what.......
[14:22] <jrib> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/r2TZKGT0
[14:22] <ikonia> that's just stupid
[14:22] <ikonia> jrib: where did you get that ?

[14:25] <Synth_> What should I do? I got the drivers from canon
[14:25] <jrib> editheraven: if you want an explanation as to why your script seems to pause, it's because you've started a new shell and that shell is going to stay open doing what a shell does (reading and executing commands) until you exit out.  You shouldn't use sudo bash.  If you ever do need a root shell, you can use « sudo -i » instead.  But this is also not what you want for your script.
[14:27] <Synth_> please help
[14:27] <neredsenvy> jrib: any idea why after succssesful win install over ubuntu i get unknown filesystem on boot and grub rescues console

[14:38] <nabblet> i get up to 50% CPU usage from Xorg and 25% CPU usage from baobao
[14:39] <nabblet> i have to add that i'm on a slow system, but still, Xorg should not use so much ressources, if any
[14:39] <denker> hello, how do I set the port tp be used ith the ftp command? need to change it
[14:39] <nabblet> !bug
[14:39] <zykotick9> denker: ftp is a port/firewall nightmare... ftp must die.
[14:40] <HelloWorld3211> is "sudo service lightdm restart" supposed to work via SSH?
[14:40] <denker> :zykotick9 I need to transfer some files doh :(
[14:40] <zykotick9> denker: try ssh(scp) as a secure alternative.
[14:40] <Sicno> hi, how do I set acpi=off at boot time? on the live session I had to use that option in order to boot, otherwise I got an error
[14:40] <rafaelsoaresbr> zykotick9, i've installed xserver-xorg-lts-precise because i need xorg version 1.11
[14:41] <zykotick9> denker: AND changing ssh's port is easy ;)  ftp has MANY ports involved.
[14:41] <denker> :zykotick9 can I run that from the linux terminal?
[14:41] <denker> im running ubuntu server
[14:41] <Sicno> now that I installed it I'm not sure how to set that option at boot time for it to proceed with the normal boot
[14:41] <zykotick9> denker: yes.  ssh will include scp support.
[14:42] <denker> :zykotick9  thanks will try that
[14:42] <zykotick9> rafaelsoaresbr: what does xserver-xorg-lts-precise have in common with kernel version?
[14:43] <rafaelsoaresbr> zykotick9, i want to install fglrx, but I need Xorg 1.11 and kernel 3.8.0-29
[14:43] <zykotick9> rafaelsoaresbr: ahhh, well good luck.  don't reply to me further.
[14:44] <rafaelsoaresbr> zykotick9, thanks anyway
[14:51] <HelloWorld3211> I would've liked to save my text buffers, but it looks like I'll have to reboot.
[14:53] <BluesKaj> hey all
[14:54] <HelloWorld3211> so my desktop is frozen.  Ctl+Alt+Bksp, Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2 .... have no visible effect;  I don't have a terminal on this machine, but I can SSH in from another machine.  using "sudo service lightdm restart" from SSH fails.  Any tips for getting my desktop back before I reboot?
[14:55] <HelloWorld3211> and btw, the error message for "lightdm restart" is at http://pastebin.com/Bf7wuiHs
[14:56] <HelloWorld3211> and this is the sort of thing, that like, "why would they ever do that?" but it would come in handy here, is there a way to get gedit to save before I reboot?

[15:03] <jp_hranice> Hi guys. Do not you know anything abou laging of ubuntu 13.04 during Firefox is running ?
[15:07] <akshay2000> Does anybody even chat here?
[15:07] <jp_hranice> me ...
[15:07] <jp_hranice> Do not you know anything abou laging of ubuntu 13.04 during Firefox is running ?
[15:08] <jp_hranice> Do you know anything abou laging of ubuntu 13.04 during Firefox is running ?
[15:08] <jp_hranice> :-)

[15:08] <nabblet> !czech
[15:09] <nabblet> jp_hranice: also, do not repeat your question in short intervalls
[15:11] <akshay2000> Alright! Ubuntu shouldn't lag due to firefox.
[15:11] <anonymous87> how many of you are running anonymous os
[15:11] <akshay2000> Check firefox for addons and memory leakage.
[15:11] <akshay2000> By the way, ubuntu-sdk dependencies are broken.
[15:11] <akshay2000> Is it the same for everyone?

[15:12] <ottalo> !help
[15:13] <ottalo> pls how can i scan for shell om irc
[15:13] <kostkon> akshay2000, try ppa-purge then reinstall the ubuntu-sdk
[15:13] <ottalo> who can help me
[15:13] <akshay2000> @kostkon Where is PPA purge? In Universe?
[15:14] <kostkon> !info ppa-purge
[15:14] <bwayne> ottalo: i'm not sure what you're asking.  the bash channel, perhaps?
[15:14] <kostkon> akshay2000, yes
[15:14] <ottalo> on whr pls
[15:15] <Synth_> please help me i just bought a canon mp 287 all in one printer and i got the drivers from canon's website and when i try to check the ink levels it shows me the marker levels are not reported on this printer
[15:15] <kostkon> akshay2000, they have changed some of the packages. i was prompted to do a partial upgrade and everything went fine
[15:15] <Synth_> help please
[15:15] <akshay2000> kostkon: Partially upgrade exactly what? What do you leave and what do you install?
[15:16] <Synth_> wow seriously no help?
[15:16] <kostkon> akshay2000, it's automatic
[15:16] <kostkon> !patience | Synth_
[15:16] <akshay2000> Let me try, kostkon
[15:16] <bwayne> Synth_: it may be that the OS doesn't support the communication protocol of that information.
[15:16] <Synth_> 12.04
[15:18] <bwayne> Synth_: I've found that functionality rarely works.
[15:18] <jp_hranice> nabblet: Now my facebook side fail on chromium due low mem. I got 2GB RAM
[15:18] <Synth_> so how would i know if im low on ink?
[15:18] <bwayne> Synth_: the printed documents will lack the ink.
[15:19] <nabblet> jp_hranice: sound's like a memory leak to me
[15:19] <nabblet> jp_hranice: but i am no expert
[15:19] <nabblet> jp_hranice: try midori ?
[15:19] <Synth_> well thats a deag
[15:19] <Synth_> drag
[15:19] <bwayne> Synth_: and I've found that those levels reported are underestimated. There's typically more ink than those levels indicate.
[15:19] <akshay2000> Synth_, looks like the hard way it is!
[15:20] <Synth_> Well thats not cool
[15:20] <bwayne> Synth_: and this information is usually displayed on the printer itself.
[15:20] <akshay2000> kostkon, I just purged the ubuntu-sdk-team. What do I do now?
[15:20] <akshay2000> Add it again?
[15:21] <kostkon> akshay2000, yes, i.e. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk
[15:21] <akshay2000> bwayne: Older printers don't have anything except annoying LEDs!
[15:21] <kostkon> akshay2000, eh sorry, i meant: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sdk
[15:21] <akshay2000> kostkon: So, shouldn't I add the PPA first?
[15:22] <bwayne> akshay2000: well, Synth_'s appears to be new. And if you have an old version, do they even report ink levels?
[15:22] <kostkon> akshay2000, yes, my fault
[15:22] <akshay2000> Oh, right! Got it.
[15:23] <akshay2000> bwayne: Can't say! I had an old one - with a huge printer port. It could report ink levels to the software it came with.
[15:24] <bwayne> I guess Synth left. Found from a google search. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/escputil.1.html
[15:24] <akshay2000> bwayne: You, he left!
[15:24] <bwayne> It's amazing what Google can do. I'm foolish to assume people Google before entering the chan.
[15:25] <KeyboardNotFound> I have not formated partition on disk, can i format it to linux-swap and to use it as swap after installing ubuntu ?
[15:25] <bwayne> akshay2000: whatever
[15:25] <bwayne> akshay2000: my contributions were always couched in 'perhaps'.
[15:26] <akshay2000> kostkon: Nope! Still the same error. That package is not installable.
[15:26] <kostkon> akshay2000, hmm
[15:27] <kostkon> akshay2000, then wait for a couple of hours and try again. try in regular intervals. it should me temporary
[15:28] <akshay2000> kostkon: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/ubuntu_sdk_release/raring/main/base/qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu-cordova
[15:28] <akshay2000> kostkon: The link says that it has been deleted.
[15:29] <akshay2000> kostkon: Looks like someone took it down for maintenance or something?  :D
[15:29] <kostkon> akshay2000, then we will have to wait to update the deps on the other packages
[15:29] <akshay2000> Hopefully, that will solve it, kostkon.
[15:29] <kostkon> akshay2000, yeah, just keep trying
[15:30] <bee> hi guys, ive been banging my head against my desk for the last few hours trying to get a simple directory share going on my network.  i
[15:30] <bee> *ive got ubuntu on my desktop, and i want to share a directory over the lan to my raspbian based pi
[15:30] <jrib> bee: right click -> share
[15:30] <akshay2000> KeyboardNotFound: You should be able to do that.
[15:30] <bee> ive been trying to get samba share running, but with no luck
[15:31] <jrib> bee: does it have to be over nfs?
[15:31] <akshay2000> KeyboardNotFound: Why do you need swap at all, by the way?
[15:31] <KeyboardNotFound> akshay2000, I have only 1 gb ram :(
[15:31] <bee> jrib, ive heard nfs is the best way to do it, but im quite a noob when it comes to these things
[15:31] <jrib> bee: if samba is ok, then you can just right click on the directory and share it
[15:32] <akshay2000> KeyboardNotFound: I see! Well, yeah, you should be able to do that.
[15:32] <jrib> bee: that should work unless you have a firewall rule blocking it
[15:32] <KeyboardNotFound> akshay2000, how you see that i have only 1 gb ram ? :P
[15:32] <akshay2000> KeyboardNotFound: Don't expect the RAM like performance, though.
[15:32] <bee> jrib, hmm, it could be the firewall that's borking it actually - just got myself a new belkin router, im not too familiar with it
[15:32] <akshay2000> KeyboardNotFound: I saw it after you wrote it! :P
[15:33] <KeyboardNotFound> akshay2000, haha :)
[15:33] <KeyboardNotFound> akshay2000, thank yo uvery much
[15:33] <jrib> bee: you should be able to see the share locally over samba on the machine you're sharing from I think
[15:33] <akshay2000> bee: What's the problem exactly?
[15:33] <akshay2000> bee: Try to do is using CLI.
[15:33] <akshay2000> bee: What does testparm -s say?
[15:34] <bee> one sec, im just re-installing samba to see if that will help - i may have borked my config ;)
[15:34] <bee> and, ofc, have to restart - brb!
[15:35] <bee> akshay2000, jrib this is the error im getting 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "bee" to a SID. NT_STATUS_NONE_MAPPED.
[15:35] <jrib> bee: you're getting this error when you do what?
[15:36] <bee> when i try to share the folder using the method  you suggested - right click, sharing options
[15:36] <jrib> bee: and is this the full output?
[15:36] <bee> yea
[15:36] <akshay2000> bee: really, do it manuall by editing smb.conf
[15:36] <akshay2000> Much less of an headache.
[15:37] <akshay2000> Also, bee, just check out any tutorial for RPi and samba and follow the procedure on your desktop.
[15:37] <jrib> bee: you're using the default smb.conf?
[15:37] <bee> akshay2000, i have been doing, but with zilch success.  i follow everything and it says "you should now be able to browse your share" and ofc i cant!
[15:38] <akshay2000> You may need to add user to smb explicitly.
[15:38] <neyder_> have anyone installed in preseed way an oem lot?
[15:38] <akshay2000> Tutorial at howtogeek helped me.
[15:39] <bee> akshay2000, ill give that one a look and see if i can reset my smb.conf
[15:40] <bee> akshay2000, turns out the tutorial i was following was the howtogeek one
[15:41] <HypnotiX> Hello, does anyone know a good guide to install windows next to my existing ubuntu
[15:42] <jrib> bee: with a default smb.conf, right clicking should work.  Maybe you need to be in the "sambashare" group too, but I'm not sure.  Ensure these two things are true.
[15:42] <Ari-Yang> HypnotiX, I can google for you and find countless guides, so you should do so, google around.
[15:43] <HypnotiX> well i thought there was a best guide that you can guys can link me too :)
[15:43] <bee> jrib, thanks, i shall give a fresh conf a go
[15:44] <bee> is nfs any easier to set up?
[15:44] <jrib> bee: this is easy to set up
[15:44] <jrib> bee: it's right click -> share
[15:44] <bee> oki, well, guess to get a fresh conf i have to uninstall, reboot and reinstall
[15:44] <bee> cause just reinstalling didn't give me a default config
[15:45] <bwayne> HypnotiX: you can always just resize your partitions via gparted (or others) and then simply install Windows. Install EasyBCD, add the Ubuntu Partition.
[15:45] <P_Kable> Hello
[15:45] <jrib> bee: you would need to purge the package and then install again.  If that wants to remove half your system, don't do it that way
[15:46] <Dacs> Good morning folks, i have been trying to get Ubuntu 13.4 on am AMD FX8350 8 core, 16 GB RAM, 970A-G43 mobo, 128 GB SSD GeForce 8400 GS with Dual monitor 17" each. when i boot my box it takes ~4 min from bios screen to ubuntu login screen
[15:46] <jrib> Dacs: you can install and analyze bootchart
[15:46] <HypnotiX> ok i will try
[15:47] <bee> jrib, thanks, i hadnt thought to purge
[15:47] <bee> brb
[15:47] <Dacs> jrib: what is that please
[15:47] <jrib> !info bootchart | Dacs
[15:47] <bwayne> HypnotiX: if you have difficulties once you install EasyBCD, install Hexchat and come back. I should be here.
[15:47] <HypnotiX> i will probably boot into linux with the live cd
[15:47] <P_Kable> I'm having some issue. I suddenly cannot boot properly, the grub part goes well but once it gets to X I have a mouse pointer and a blinking cursor with a black screen, I'm running RARING. I must stop/start lightdm to retrieve my desktop. It worked just fine before the last update/ or / the installation/uninstall of compiz. Any help would be appreciated.
[15:47] <Dacs> jrib: and what will that tell me
[15:47] <bwayne> HypnotiX: yeah.  and then update grub.
[15:48] <jrib> Dacs: why your boot is taking 4 minutes
[15:48] <Dacs> jrib: where can i download it
[15:48] <Dacs> and how to use it
[15:48] <jrib> !software | Dacs
[15:48] <Dacs> is it a live cd
[15:49] <jrib> Dacs: use your favorite package manager.  It's a package in the repositories
[15:49] <Dacs> ahhh okay
[15:49] <crypticmofo> hi all .. i have a question .. i have a lenova twist its a ultrabook that has the mouse in the middle of the keyboard trackpad whatever .. problem is when i was using the live dvd the mouse was fine .. when i installed ubuntu the mouse stuttered and it didn't act right .. is there a fix for this ?
[15:51] <SteveBell> is there a wiki describing how to add programs under ubuntu 12 in the session startup? this is only for 11 and below: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[15:51] <jrib> SteveBell: did you try what it says there?  There is no such thing as ubuntu "12" by the way, there's 12.04 and 12.10
[15:52] <SteveBell> jrib: I know. well 12.04 here. but anyways I don't know how to get the appropriate command
[15:52] <Yii1> hi
[15:52] <SteveBell> The following paragraph assumes your desktop environment uses Gnome 2. If you are using Ubuntu 11.04 or newer, then by default you are not using Gnome 2, and this procedure will not work.
[15:52] <AiwaBRA> I am creating a website, where the people's can send your books
[15:52] <jrib> SteveBell: I think that's gnome-session-properties?
[15:52] <jrib> !enter | AiwaBRA
[15:53] <AiwaBRA> !enter
[15:53] <SteveBell> jrib: don't know. so in the example they use "evolution --component=mail"
[15:53] <jrib> SteveBell: what is your question?
[15:53] <SteveBell> so if I want to autostart xbmc do I just enter xbmc?
[15:54] <bwayne> SteveBell: if you use Unity: http://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login
[15:54] <jrib> SteveBell: sure, but I'd recommend giving the full path.  You want to start the xbmc program as soon as your user logs in?
[15:54] <SteveBell> y
[15:54] <SteveBell> it's all I use that netbook for so every startup should launch it
[15:55] <jrib> SteveBell: ok
[15:55] <bwayne> SteveBell: there's also ~/.config/autostart from command line. The link I provided above shows an example of an entry.
[15:56] <SteveBell> ok just using the application name seems to work fine
[15:57] <SteveBell> it would be much more intuitive, if the user where presented with a list of applications instead of a command (that is if ubuntu wants to go mainstream of course)
[15:57] <Dacs> jrib: i installed bootchart and when i boot i get grub prompt now?!
[15:58] <jrib> Dacs: that shouldn't be the case
[15:58] <SteveBell> ok jrip thanks for your help.
[15:58] <bee> jrib, ive uninstalled, purged, reinstalled samba.  ive started with a fresh smb.conf, yet i still get this same error when trying to share a directory
[15:58] <Dacs> jrib: exactly , so am not sure what is going on here
[15:58] <jrib> bee: is your user in the sambashare group?
[15:59] <jrib> Dacs: is this a fresh install?  How did you install?  Did you have to do anything "interesting"?
[15:59] <bee> jrib, sorry excuse my noobness, im not sure how i would find that out
[15:59] <akshay20002> bee: So, what does your testparm -s say?
[15:59] <jrib> bee: type "groups" in a shell
[15:59] <Dacs> jrib: fresh install , down loaded from web and burnt iso to dvd
[16:00] <Dacs> jrib: 13.04 ubuntu amd 64 desktop
[16:00] <bee> akshay2000, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6079715/
[16:00] <bee> jrib, bee@bee-P5E:~$ groups
[16:00] <bee> bee adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[16:01] <jrib> bee: then your user is in the sambashare group.  Paste the error you get
[16:01] <akshay20002> bee: There's no share!
[16:01] <akshay20002> There's just global and printers.
[16:01] <bee> akshay2000, thats the problem, i cant get it to add a share
[16:01] <akshay20002> You should create share, bee!
[16:01] <akshay20002> Did you add it in smb.conf, bee?
[16:01] <bee> jrib, the error i get when trying to add a share is 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "bee" to a SID. NT_STATUS_NONE_MAPPED.
[16:02] <bee> akshay2000, no, the advice i was given was to do it through the gui
[16:02] <akshay20002> :\ Who'd advice GUI! It must be only for the ease! bee.
[16:02] <grendal-prime> bee...are you trying to set up samba?
[16:03] <bee> akshay2000, jrib advised me so
[16:03] <akshay20002> I'n sure, jrib said that just for the ease, bee.
[16:03] <bee> grendal-prime, yeah, to mount a dir on my ubuntu desktop on my pi (running raspbian)
[16:03] <jgk> hi akshay2000
[16:04] <akshay20002> If you don't have any Windows Machines, you probably could mount a folder over FTP or SSH!
[16:04] <akshay20002> jgk, hi!
[16:04] <jgk> plz reply
[16:04] <akshay20002> jgk: About what?
[16:05] <jgk> to my message
[16:05] <jhave> Hello
[16:05] <jhave> how do i complete reinstall my mysql-server ?
[16:06] <jhave> and remove all databases ?
[16:07] <jhave> I have removed my root user :(
[16:07] <jrib> jhave: purge the relevant packages (you probably need to purge one of it's dependencies (maybe the one with "common" in the name)) and then reinstall
[16:07] <jrib> jhave: what do you mean by "I have removed my root user"?
[16:07] <jhave> jrib, i have removed it by a fail :(
[16:07] <jrib> jhave: what is "it"?
[16:08] <jhave> jrib, the root user
[16:08] <jrib> jhave: the operating system's root user?
[16:08] <jhave> no the mysql root user
[16:08] <akshay20002> bee: Here's my share http://paste.ubuntu.com/6079751/
[16:08] <jrib> jhave: ok
[16:10] <jhave> Is there a way to clean all mysql data
[16:10] <jrib> jhave: I just told you how to do what you asked
[16:10] <denker> how can I copy files from a windows machine running a ssh server to my ubuntu machine?
[16:10] <jrib> denker: scp
[16:11] <denker> it says scp dosen't exsists
[16:11] <jrib> denker: what is "it"?
[16:12] <denker> jrib the command prompt. mu ubuntu machine is connected to windows
[16:12] <jrib> denker: install the openssh-client package on your ubuntu machine
[16:12] <Dacs> jrib: imagebin.org/270255
[16:12] <grendal-prime> what is rasbian?
[16:13] <denker> :jrib so just do it the other way around
[16:13] <jrib> grendal-prime: you mean raspbian?
[16:13] <jhave> what is the best desktop dist ubuntu vs mint ?
[16:13] <jrib> denker: what?
[16:13] <akshay20002> jhave: Wouldn't matter. Subjective.
[16:13] <denker> jrib: nvm
[16:14] <gnuweb> jhave depends on what your needs are
[16:14] <OerHeks> jhave mint is slower.
[16:14] <jrib> Dacs: bootchart shows the boot taking 50s, is that correct?
[16:14] <grendal-prime> like newer release testing or something?
[16:14] <akshay20002> OerHeks: mint didn't really run slower for me. Hardware?
[16:15] <jrib> !ot
[16:15] <grendal-prime> jrib, im assuming its a testing or non lts release
[16:16] <Dacs> jrib: noooooo. it take ~4min every single time
[16:16] <jrib> grendal-prime: raspbian is just an operating system based on debian meant for use on raspberry pi
[16:16] <antz> you can put ubuntu on rasp pi
[16:16] <awaad> I have Ubuntu installed on my Laptop and it is connected to my WIFI Access Internet.
[16:17] <antz> okay awaad
[16:17] <awaad> My /etc/resolv.conf doesn't contain any record except "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[16:17] <grendal-prime> what is raspberry pi?
[16:17] <grendal-prime> nevermind i dont really want to know
[16:17] <antz> micro controller
[16:17] <antz> sort of
[16:17] <antz> kinda like arduino
[16:17] <antz> lil bit
[16:17] <akshay20002> grendal-prime: REALLY? You don;t know that?
[16:17] <awaad> But I can connect to websites normally. I thought that /etc/resolv.conf should contain my DNS server.
[16:18] <grendal-prime> android os?
[16:18] <antz> no
[16:18] <awaad> Any one can tell me the reason of working fine although configuration of /etc/resolv.conf is bad?
[16:18] <grendal-prime> sounds like there nameing convintion.
[16:18] <antz> its not using /etc/resolv.conf
[16:18] <akshay20002> awaad: networkmanager has it's own stuff.
[16:19] <akshay20002> awaad: even if you change resolv.conf, it will probably be overwritten.
[16:19] <grendal-prime> mini motherboard of some sort looks like
[16:19] <antz> ^
[16:19] <antz> ppl usually put
[16:19] <antz> linux and xbmc
[16:20] <jrib> awaad: <IP_ADDRESS> is correct.  If you check, you'll see have dnsmasq running
[16:20] <antz> and hook it up to tv
[16:20] <wilee-nilee> !enter | antz
[16:20] <antz> and use it with NAS or whatever
[16:20] <antz> like appletv
[16:21] <awaad> jrib: Yes it is running. What is its function?
[16:21] <grendal-prime> 40 buck gumstic computer looks like.
[16:21] <jrib> awaad: dns :D
[16:21] <grendal-prime> antz arm has the power to run as a nas?
[16:21] <Dacs> jrib: any suggestuions
[16:21] <grendal-prime> does it have pci-e port on it.?  doesnt look like it
[16:21] <awaad> jrib: So my laptop is working as a forwarding DNS server?
[16:21] <imnichol> If I've got my entire HDD encrypted, is there a way to access the files if I mount my HDD on another computer?
[16:21] <antz> not as a nas but xbmc connects to a nas so you can stream movies
[16:21] <akshay20002> grendal-prime: No@
[16:22] <jrib> Dacs: see how fast it boots if you disable X
[16:22] <akshay20002> grendal-prime: But does have GPIO!
[16:22] <jrib> awaad: not sure what you are asking
[16:22] <grendal-prime> thats to  bad i have pci-e jbod  from sans i could staple the thing to the wall and plug that thing into it make a filler out of it
[16:22] <awaad> Is dnsmasq a DNS client of DNS server?
[16:22] <antz> grendal-prime is a big shot using sans over nas
[16:23] <antz> san*
[16:23] <grendal-prime> i ment the company.
[16:23] <antz> oh ok
[16:23] <grendal-prime> san...nas... what i ment was storage machine.
[16:24] <antz> yes
[16:24] <grendal-prime> i hat haveing to explain the diff to my customers.  i just call it attached storage.
[16:24] <akshay20002> grendal-prime: You can use RPi as NAS!
[16:24] <antz> ^
[16:24] <antz> why would you
[16:24] <grendal-prime> i can think of a few reasons antz
[16:24] <imnichol> If I've got my entire HDD encrypted, is there a way to access the files if I mount my HDD on another computer?
[16:25] <jadron> hello everybody i have some errors when i run mrtgsolutio
[16:25] <grendal-prime> my 2850 is great office warming in the winter but ...i dont really need to run something that big all the time
[16:25] <jadron>  at /usr/share/perl5/SNMP_Session.pm line 60
[16:25] <antz> well in terms of performance...
[16:25] <grendal-prime> cheep...
[16:25] <grendal-prime> i could have a few of those lieing around for when something failed.
[16:26] <antz> not quite sure the specs for RPi but maybe use it as a file server
[16:27] <OerHeks> imnichol, maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live_CD_method_of_opening_a_encrypted_home_directory
[16:27] <akshay20002> antz: I'm using RPi for Samba, CouchPotato, seeding ISOs etc.
[16:28] <imnichol> OerHeks, That only gives specifics for encrypted /home/ folders.  I'm talking about the full disk encryption
[16:29] <antz> imnichol, someone is being naughty?
[16:29] <grendal-prime> antz if it has a gig ether on it i could probably set it up to file serve.  Again back to terminology... filler,nas,san...whatever.
[16:30] <antz> grendal-prime, yeah that would be super nice if they had that
[16:30] <antz> i might go with intel nuc over RPi
[16:30] <imnichol> antz, No, but I'm about to make a potentially destructive change, and I want to make sure I can get at my data if my system won't boot
[16:31] <grendal-prime> i prefer to call it a filer, but i have them do all the auth and perms on the same device.
[16:31] <grendal-prime> intel nuc
[16:31] <grendal-prime> hmm
[16:31] <jrib> denker: did scp not work for you?
[16:31] <antz> well how big is the HDD?
[16:32] <denker> :jrib well Im trying to understand how I copy from my windows drive when I am at the terminal
[16:32] <grendal-prime> antz  for my filer?
[16:32] <antz> sorry that wa for imnichol
[16:33] <jrib> denker: what is the ssh server you are running?
[16:33] <imnichol> antz, couple hundred gigs
[16:33] <denker> :jrib openssh, using putty to connect
[16:33] <jrib> denker: didn't you say you were running the server on windows?
[16:33] <grendal-prime> i need one of these small mb's with pci-e
[16:34] <Sicno> I just installed ubuntu 12.04.3 on a machine but it can't shut down normally. It hangs out forever. It can reboot with no problem at all though.
[16:34] <denker> jrib: yeah but didn't you tell me to have the server on my ubuntu machine? scp didn't work
[16:34] <jrib> denker: I never said for you to put the server on ubuntu
[16:34] <LinuxGold> how do I share live terminal with someone else?
[16:34] <grendal-prime> Sicno, why would you want to turn it off..  all mine are on all the time
[16:34] <grendal-prime> hehehe
[16:35] <denker> :jrib oki, my misstake
[16:35] <LinuxGold> I remmy doing that back in old days -- forgot what utility was used
[16:35] <grendal-prime> Sicno,  thats a feature not a bug.
[16:35] <jrib> denker: so now you have an ssh server on both the windows machine and on ubuntu?
[16:35] <antz> imnichol not quite sure. just decrypt them?????
[16:35] <Sicno> it's not my own pc, it's for an old lady. And sorry but no kidding matter.
[16:35] <Dacs> jrib: same thing, do i need to install the driver from my mobo msi 970a-g43
[16:35] <bastidrazor> LinuxGold: probably 'screen'
[16:35] <denker> :jrib I turned off the serveron my windows machine
[16:35] <grendal-prime> sounds like a acpi issue Sicno
[16:35] <jrib> Dacs: don't know
[16:36] <jrib> denker: well you can use something like wincscp on windows now to interact with the ubuntu ssh server
[16:36] <grendal-prime> Sicno, http://askubuntu.com/questions/125844/shutdown-does-not-power-off-computer
[16:36] <Sicno> well, I had to set acpi=off for it to boot, otherwise I would get an error and it wouldn't boot at all
[16:37] <intore> hi guys, i need to write a script that permits to run onboard instead of florence when booting a pc without keyboard, could you help me please?
[16:37] <denker> :jrib the thing is I can't copy files to my esxi virtual machine using winscp or it's just me dosen't knwo how to.
[16:37] <grendal-prime> Sicno, does it have nvidia video?
[16:37] <denker> :jrib I have tried winscp, but can't get it to the machine only to esxi
[16:37] <jrib> denker: you're introducing something new now; before there was just a windows machine and an ubuntu machine
[16:38] <Sicno> I'm not sure but I think it's intel
[16:38] <antz> denker: openvpn! ssh tunnel!
[16:38] <denker> yeah, my ubuntu server machine is on my esxi computer
[16:39] <grendal-prime> Sicno, try the shutdown from command line
[16:39] <grendal-prime> see what sort of output you get
[16:39] <denker> :antz okey will look into that. never thought I would have so much trubble tranfering some files
[16:39] <grendal-prime> shutdown now -h
[16:39] <antz> denker: you shouldnt :(
[16:39] <Sicno> you sure that's the command?
[16:40] <grendal-prime> and drop to the shell (crtl+alt+f1)  and then run that
[16:40] <grendal-prime> ya i run shutdown now -h  about 30 times a day...pretty sure that will do it
[16:40] <antz> i user poweroff
[16:40] <Sicno> ...
[16:41] <Sicno> ...I'm starting to think you're trolling me
[16:41] <denker> :antz but it dosenät work using winscp? cant find any information online
[16:41] <HelloWorld3211> so when you update software through the Update Manager (gui), does it stop halfway thru, for you to read the changelog, but doesn't show the changelog until you expand the "Details" tab to see why it stopped?
[16:41] <crypticmofo> hi all .. i have a question .. i have a lenova twist its a ultrabook that has the mouse in the middle of the keyboard trackpad whatever .. problem is when i was using the live dvd the mouse was fine .. when i installed ubuntu the mouse stuttered and it didn't act right .. is there a fix for this ?
[16:41] <jrib> denker: you need to get into the situation where you can actually establish an ssh connection from one machine to another
[16:41] <antz> well denker, let me ask you this. winscp uses which port?
[16:42] <grendal-prime> 22 it uses the same port as ssh
[16:42] <grendal-prime> it is ssh..
[16:42] <antz> scp uses ssh?
[16:42] <grendal-prime> its file transmission over ssh
[16:42] <grendal-prime> yes
[16:42] <antz> then prob the firewall isnt open for ssh
[16:42] <Sicno> "poweroff" doesn't work
[16:42] <antz> some linux dont have it opened as default
[16:43] <grendal-prime> none of the distros have the server installed by default now ither
[16:43] <grendal-prime> you have to apt-get install ssh-server
[16:43] <denker> :antz but I have no problem connecting to my server with winscp. I can transfer files but not into my virtual machine, or I dosen't know how.
[16:43] <antz> yeah
[16:43] <antz> ohhhhh
[16:43] <antz> how is your virtual machine configured then
[16:43] <grendal-prime> you virutal machine..
[16:43] <mcl0vin> how do i know which X i am using
[16:44] <grendal-prime> is it brideged network of nated?
[16:44] <MaynardW1ters> hi, I am getting a message that says the required kernal is pae
[16:44] <HelloWorld3211> mcl0vin: I discovered this morning that theres a log file in your var directory that says ....
[16:44] <antz> Sicno, it doesnt??!? whats wrong with yours :D
[16:44] <MaynardW1ters> I thought that 12.04 and 13 should have their x86 workable without pae
[16:44] <Sicno> I wish I knew  u_u
[16:45] <grendal-prime> denker,  what is the vm host type.
[16:45] <_JuJuBee> Which tablet will run ubuntu natively?  I would like to get one that I can install ubuntu on.
[16:45] <HelloWorld3211> mcl0vin: try "more /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log"; might need sudo
[16:45] <denker> :antz I am using vsphere on my windows machine
[16:45] <grendal-prime> yuck
[16:45] <grendal-prime> well...
[16:45] <antz> ew
[16:46] <grendal-prime> can you ping the guest ip from the host network
[16:46] <HelloWorld3211> actually, mcl0vin: some folks would grep that file for "started", or tail it
[16:46] <Sicno> sudo shutdown now -h doesn't work either
[16:46] <oscar> My screen goes crazy when I try to suspend my laptop or close the lid? The screen suddenly is filled with random colours and I can only stop it by turning my laptop on and off. The OS seems to be working fine, I just cant see anything when I suspend xD any help? Im on Ubuntu version 13.04
[16:47] <grendal-prime> Sicno, does it hang ...whats the output of that command...i would be very amazed if ....
[16:47] <HelloWorld3211> mcl0vin: sudo grep /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log "Starting session"
[16:47] <Sicno> I get to the purple screen with the white "ubuntu" and dots and it hangs out forever
[16:47] <denker> grendal-prime: you mean which esxi version I am running? using esxi 5.1
[16:48] <grendal-prime> did you drop to the f1 terminal screen first?
[16:48] <HelloWorld3211> ick, sorry.  that might not work so good ... mine says "ubuntu", kinda vague answer
[16:48] <grendal-prime> before issueing that command?
[16:48] <darkelfjuggalo> I need to upgrade GIMP, but the version I need Ubuntu does not have in any of the repository... can someone tell me if this is a safe alternative? http://www.itworld.com/software/362351/install-gimp-286-ubuntu-1304
[16:48] <antz> im gonna go afk. ppl are having too much trouble
[16:48] <szahrat> nop
[16:48] <antz> on sunday
[16:48] <grendal-prime> ya sundays i think are pretty crazy here
[16:49] <oscar> Really weird how I cant suspend or close my laptop without Ubuntu having a screen spasm
[16:49] <Sicno> grendal-prime: if by f1 you mean if I was running the terminal yes I was. If you mean I have to summon the terminal in a particular way then I don't know
[16:50] <grendal-prime> Sicno,   if you run that from a windowed terminal that is the same as slecting the shutdown from a button.  now.. there are 6 terminals you can use outside of the X
[16:50] <mcl0vin> it does not show which X you are using
[16:51] <grendal-prime> (ctrl +alt) while holding them down press the F1 key
[16:51] <grendal-prime> you will dropx and have a pure terminal.
[16:51] <grendal-prime> black screen....and just so you knwo..to get back to the desktop do the sam thing but use F7
[16:52] <grendal-prime> once you have droped to that pure terminal..run that command it should show you the entire shutdown as its happening.
[16:52] <grendal-prime> if it hangs..you should see why it is haning cause it will stop there.
[16:53] <bwayne> i think i've been bozoed.
[16:53] <Sicno> ok, I tried that and it's the same thing
[16:53] <denker> :grendal-prime I need to configure my host to transfer files to virtual machines?
[16:54] <Sicno> and the thing is that it's hanging at the purple screen wuth the ubuntu letters and the white dots that change to orange, so I don't get to see why it's hanging out at that particular moment
[16:55] <xvzf> hi there, the login window of my ubuntu 13.04 exhibits sounds, but when I log in, I cannot hear any. The volume is at 100%. Where else could it be muted?
[16:55] <grendal-prime> denker, if you ant access to the guests, then you need to A create a bridged network that will put them on the same network as the host(probably pretty easy)  B set up source nating that will direct traffic on spcific ports to guest machines on the inside. (more complicated and im not sure how to do ip forwarding with windows..or source natting...or...well alot of other stuff)
[16:55] <kexibq> hey guys, anyone have an idea of how I can put music on my iphone? I thought about using virtualbox but my connection won't allow me to use torrents. So I cannot obtain the ISO
[16:56] <grendal-prime> windows is kinda...well actually very stupid when it comes to those sorts of things.
[16:56] <grendal-prime> something else..if the guest is ubuntu...or just linux and you are trying to scp to it you will need to have ssh-server installed on it.
[16:58] <denker> :grendalprime I have a windows ssh-server and connected with my virtualmachine but scp dosen't work on windows
[16:58] <denker> grendal-prime: scp command
[16:58] <grendal-prime> personally denker if you are doing this to learn vitualization i would go with virutal box...or better (for server environments)  KVM but..you realy need to study up on network design cause this will requre some serious basic understanding of whats envolved with that.
[16:58] <mcl0vin> my dmesg is filled with "AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=00:14.4 domain=0x000e address=0x0000000000001000 flags=0x0000]" is this normal?!!
[16:59] <mcl0vin> jrib, ^^
[16:59] <grendal-prime> scp on windows will requre putty..if you have winscp on windows it will install all nessary libs.  winscp is a product name that usess scp to trancmit files
[16:59] <grendal-prime> over ssh.
[17:00] <grendal-prime> scp is a pgram not a protocol
[17:00] <grendal-prime> it uses ssh wich uses port 22 to transmit files.
[17:00] <denker> :grendal-prime ye, I think I am going to give up. been messing with this all day. thanks for the help
[17:00] <Sicno> I'm going to try with acpi=force now
[17:01] <grendal-prime> np ..sorry i couldnt be of better assistance...this is what i do most of the day..(virt infrastructure)  but just throwing something together quickly..requres some early on learning .
[17:01] <compdoc> mcl0vin, you using pass-thru to vm guests?
[17:02] <mcl0vin> compdoc, ,what do u mean?
[17:03] <compdoc> mcl0vin, hmm, well are you running kvm or other VM software?
[17:03] <HelloWorld3211> mcl0vin: where is this dmesg?

[17:46] <oskurot> Ben64: thanks
[17:46] <sudormrf_> ... and, yes, I am using the 64 bit version.
[17:46] <minetape> why does server have to be much smaller?
[17:46] <minetape> only 648MB?
[17:46] <oskurot> sudormrf_: uefi bios?
[17:47] <mcuringa> #wikiotics
[17:47] <kostkon> minetape, it doesn't come with a gui
[17:47] <minetape> ...
[17:47] <minetape> no desktop?
[17:47] <kostkon> nope
[17:47] <sudormrf_> oskurot: Yes, unfortunately.

[17:48] <sudormrf_> oskurot: I have turned of secure booting....
[17:48] <Ben64> servers don't have graphics
[17:48] <minetape> then how do i play minecraft throught it?
[17:48] <kostkon> minetape, you cain install one afterwards
[17:48] <Ben64> minetape: normally you'd not play minecraft on a server, you'd host a server on the server, and that doesn't need graphics still
[17:48] <SupaYoshi> Hi ive got a question regarding apache2 and php. :) I had an old server and I ran Apache2 and Php as user www-data, now my directory was owned by root, since i used sudo apt-get install to install them.. I forgot how to change the users to www-data. Also, I want to run my phpmyadmin as https
[17:48] <kostkon> minetape, host or play?
[17:48] <minetape> both
[17:49] <Ben64> then you might as well get the desktop version
[17:49] <SupaYoshi> But when i forced ssl in my phpmyadmin it didnt work anymore. so i had to undo it.
[17:49] <kostkon> minetape, then you would need to install a desktop environment
[17:49] <sudormrf_> oskurot: The bios, though is InsydeH20 Setup utility -- so it does not give me the option to disable fast boot and whatnot :-/
[17:49] <minetape> downloading it now
[17:49] <SupaYoshi> Im quite unsure on how to do it again all. does anybody have some help or a good link?
[17:49] <kostkon> minetape, yeah just get the desktop version

[17:50] <SupaYoshi> ah nvm.. i found it for apache2.
[17:50] <SupaYoshi> but not for ssl.
[17:52] <oskurot> sudormrf_: sounds weird. I'm sorry to say I have no good experiences with uefi either
[17:53] <oskurot> sudormrf_: may sound silly but have you checked the boot order? I've seen win8 machines with cd and usb on the bottom of the boot order
[17:54] <sudormrf_> oskurot: Yeah, I have checked the boot order. :-(
[17:54] <minetape> is server supposed to run servers better?
