[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Generator_: what is the output of:  apt-cache policy mysql++
[15:42] <Generator_> let me see
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> snoopybbt: why or how am I trolling?
[15:42] <snoopybbt> genial: uh, unix permissions is actually more complicated than i thought
[15:42] <Generator_> ActionParsnip: installed none...
[15:42] <snoopybbt> vidi tie
[15:43] <Generator_> i am using ssh connection to my ubuntu vm ... so paste command is not working. I think so.
[15:44] <jhutchins> Since when does paste not work over ssh?
[15:44] <blazemore> snoopybbt: It's not complicated. The execute bit doesn't make sense for a directory to be "executed", so it's used to set execute permissions on directories
[15:45] <Guest29721> hi
[15:45] <blazemore> jhutchins: since what you just said doesn't make sense
[15:45] <blazemore> jhutchins: What are you trying to do?
[15:45] <usr13> !info pastebinit | Generator_
[15:45] <javier_> thanks!!!
[15:46] <usr13> Generator_: apt-cache policy mysql++ | pastebinit   #And send resulting URL
[15:46] <usr13> Generator_: Not sure why using an ssh connection would matter. Do you know how to Copy & Paste?
[15:47] <Generator_> Ok
[15:47] <Generator_> wait
[15:47] <usr13> Generator_: (But if pastebinit is installed, you can just use the above command.)
[15:47] <Generator_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951674/
[15:50] <usr13> Generator_: In Linux, you can just highlight text and then hit the middle mouse button to dump from clipboard.  Alternate method; From a terminal you can highlight text, do Shift-Ctrl-c to Copy and Shift-Ctrl-v to Paste.
[15:51] <Generator_> usr13: I gave the pastebin output.
[15:51] <Generator_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951674/
[15:52] <usr13> Shift-Ctrl-c to Copy and Shift-Ctrl-v to Paste (from terminal to terminal, just Ctrl-v to other GUI fields).  Sorry, was a netsplit, show us again.
[15:53] <Generator_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951674/
[15:54] <usr13> Generator_: Maybe just do;  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade    first.
[15:55] <blazemore> Generator_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install
[15:55] <usr13> Generator_: Or yes, as blazemore suggests, you could try that....
[15:55] <Generator_> blazemore: no effect of -f
[15:56] <usr13> Generator_: Show us the error.
[15:56] <blazemore> Generator_: OK, sorry if you've already said this, but what exact error do you get when you're trying to do whatever you're doing?
[15:56] <usr13> Generator_: sudo apt-get -f install | pastebinit  #Send URL

[15:59] <dark_lord>  Hello, I have a basic doubt. I am doing documentation of my project. but I am not able to format it. Mine one is https://github.com/h201001039/wiselib/tree/master/apps/generic_apps/sd_fat . I want to do it like https://github.com/500px/api-documentation . I am using gedit for writing in readme.md
[15:59] <Generator_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951718/
[15:59] <ElFizbanio> what was the command that stopped you from being root?
[15:59] <blazemore> dark_lord: Not an Ubuntu support question, but read this: https://github.com/github/markup
[16:00] <blazemore> ElFizbanio: Ctrl D [or exit] will drop you out of a shell

[16:00] <pranjal710> hi, Can  I know the way to add any command into my sudo command, say I want to do so for history, so that only users with root privileges can see the history?
[16:00] <gordonjcp> ThePieMan: have you got anything particularly strange with your network?
[16:01] <usr13> Generator_: cat /etc/issue    #What does that say?

[16:01] <ThePieMan> gordonjcp, what do you actually refer by "strange" ?
[16:01] <blazemore> Wait what
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> pranjal710: you can add commands as you desire, users should be able to view their own history (or was that just as an example)
[16:02] <pranjal710> ActionParsnip: Users only with sudo right can view history
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> pranjal710: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers  explains aliases and groups etc

[16:03] <mastro> any help?

[16:08] <Generator_> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951748/
[16:08] <blazemore> ThePieMan: OK, don't forget I have no body-language or tone-of-voice context to go from, only UTF-8
[16:08] <pranjal710> ActionParsnip: But, what you did makes sudoers not enter a password, basically you created an alias, others can use the command "/sbin/shutdown". What I want is to change history from "history" to "sudo history"
[16:09] <usr13> Generator_: Try what ActionParsnip suggested.
[16:09] <pranjal710> ActionParsnip: Basically I want the command "history" which can be accessed by any member, to be shifted to sudo command
[16:09] <ThePieMan> blazemore, that one is terrible reply, let it be though :)
[16:09] <blazemore> pranjal710: Why don't you want people to be able to see their history?
[16:09] <Generator_> usr13: OK
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> pranjal710: you can use groups, like the apt-get group I used there, to control who can run what etc
[16:09] <pranjal710> blazemore: I want to know :P
[16:10] <icelite> hey all so my friend is quite upet with why he cant boot ubuntu
[16:10] <icelite> he goes to the login screen and enters his password and then a Black Screen appears
[16:11] <icelite> why is this?
[16:11] <icelite> he's a newbie and Ubuntu installed fine off his USB
[16:11] <k1l> icelite: does the guest account boot fine?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> icelite: which release?
[16:11] <icelite> well
[16:11] <icelite> Not sure
[16:11] <icelite> He tried a bunch
[16:11] <icelite> 13.04
[16:12] <pranjal710> icelite: Does he have ATI graphics card?
[16:12] <mastro> blazemore, I did what it say and linux boot .. I was missing the resolution setting.. It now boot and I can see the console, but it fail to open X. no screens found
[16:12] <icelite> pranjal710,  not sure
[16:12] <icelite> no wait
[16:12] <icelite> NVIDIA FX 5200
[16:13] <mastro> blazemore, or, better: screens found but non have usable configuration
[16:13] <ThePieMan> blazemore, i have seen you in launchpad before!
[16:13] <pranjal710> icelite: I found this for ATI: http://askubuntu.com/questions/297112/black-screen-after-login-with-cursor maybe you should get an updated driver
[16:14] <icelite> thanks pranjal710
[16:14] <icelite> but he has a NVIIDa so hm
[16:15] <ThePieMan> icelite, after login or while booting?
[16:16] <ElFizbanio> about this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1597945 is there a solution?
[16:16] <pranjal710> icelite: for Nvidia GeForce FX 5200, it doesn't say whether it worked or not, give it a shot : http://askubuntu.com/questions/244397/black-screen-after-login
[16:16] <k1l> icelite: its quite important to know if your ubuntu boots the guest login

[16:31] <usr13> ghostnik11: So what kind of drive is it? (The image indicates some sort of optical drive.)  What does lsusb say about it?
[16:31] <Aquaword> Lcawte, thx
[16:31] <Feldegast> ghostnik11 usb to ata/atapi bridge is the hardware the drive connects to within the case
[16:31] <W3ird_N3rd> /etc/default/rpcbind doesn't even exist
[16:31] <OerHeks> streulma, i am not sure what to do now, are there bugreports known to your machine?

[16:35] <Feldegast> ghostnik11 what OS did you put the files onto the drive with?
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Lcawte: its a file that is ran just before the DM loads and is ran by root
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Lcawte: if you add long commands there then add an ampersand to background it or the boot will hang, but route adding is super quick
[16:37] <ghostnik11> Feldegast: it was windows 7 that i got the files put on and in windows when i try to have it brought up it says i have to put a mbr or guip on it as in windows its not assigned a drive letter
[16:37] <Lcawte> ActionParsnip: Does that method work on servers as well?

[16:41] <usr13> ElFizbanio: ls -R |pastebinit
[16:41] <Feldegast> ghostnik11 no garantees, you need to find some data recovery software and hope they can recover something, or pay to have the data recovered
[16:42] <ghostnik11> Feldegast: okay are their any in linux or ubuntu
[16:43] <Feldegast> ghostnik11 i have used some from ultimatebootcd but not for years now (not the one with the windows gui)
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: foremost and scalpel are good, i suggest you look into a backup system for the future
[16:43] <Feldegast> ghostnik11 how effective they are depends on the exact issue, also they can make data recovery harder if used wrong

[17:45] <simple_john> But after a few seconds I the log shows that the sd card was disconnected
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> simple_john: what file ssytem does the SD card use?
[17:45] <BluesKaj> cjosephson, check the nameserver in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base

[17:47] <pedrocr> ActionParsnip, ok
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> simple_john: when you last unplugged it from a device, did you use the safe remove feature in the OS?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> simple_john: have you checked the storage for errors?
[17:47] <BluesKaj> cjosephson, do you have modem/router access , if so make sure the dns settings are auto , if that's what you want.
[17:47] <p0wp0w> whats the easiest way to get a mailserver up and running in 13.04 ? I need a web interface too e.g. Squirrelmail

[17:48] <simple_john> ActionParsnip: Well the card stopped working in the middle of transferring some pictures from the phone to a windows pc.
[17:48] <cjosephson> I don't. I am sure it's auto, as that was how it was before I changed it to Google DNS myself. It found its own server then.

[17:50] <ActionParsnip> !atemyram | Shadowandlight
[17:51] <simple_john> ActionParsnip: as for checking for errors, I can't access the sd card.  The /var/log/syslog shows some info about the card, says that it attached the device, then after a 2 or 3 seconds it says the device was disconnected.

[17:53] <MercX> Ubuntu 12.04, just updated a bunch of software and now my father's laptop is not utilizing dual monitors as it should. Previously he would connect the monitor into the laptop via VGA cable and the output would redirect from the laptop monitor to the external monitor. Now if he hooks up the monitor he gets a black screen on both devices and has to power down the laptop and restart
[17:53] <simple_john> ActionParsnip: are you good with udev rules?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> Shadowandlight: 4Gb RAM, using 1.6Gb
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> simple_john: not had to deal with them, i know there are guides online for scanners
[17:54] <MercX> not really sure where to start to troubleshoot this
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> Shadowandlight: using zero swap
[17:54] <MercX> the display control panel blanks both screens indefinately
[17:54] <MercX> xrandr by itself blanks both screens, xrandr -q gives some output
[17:54] <simple_john> Anyone here good with udev?
[17:55] <thunder-storm> According to my question to conky and the tcp_portmon variables, the tcp_portmon variables will slow down the update frequency from conky - a lot... The problem is based with OUTGOING tcp connections ONLY - i mean, it's resulting with slow DNS-lookups (netstat produces the same slow output). What can be the reason for that? I remember, i have put two clients in my /etc/hosts - hypothetical, if they are unreachable, this can be slow down
[17:56] <saiarcot895> thunder-storm: the slow DNS lookups are either because of your network connection or the DNS servers you are using
[17:56] <ajp> looking for some guidance. So I have this bash script that monitors a folder for PDFs and shrinks them when there is a new one.

[18:26] <nerder> Linux bt 3.2.6 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 10:40:05 EST 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
[18:26] <nerder> is that BackTrack5r3
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Nerder : backtrack is not only EOL on the desktop but backtrack is not supported in any of the Ubuntu support channels
[18:27] <nerder> ActionParsnip, ook i could try in #backtrack  ;)
[18:27] <nerder> sorry if i ask
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Nerder : ask in #backtrack-linux for backtrack support
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Nerder : It's cool
[18:28] <nerder> ActionParsnip, thx man! ;)
[18:28] <quadHelix> Actionparsnip: sadly I can only find the source for 3.4.1 and I wanted to use the new tiles available from that rev
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Nerder : I suggest you ditch the old release and clean install Precise which is LTS and supported here til April 2017
[18:29] <Ubnoobtu> hey, I'm trying to install grml.org as a usb bootable, and I'm having problems getting it started cause I'm pretty new.
[18:29] <ikonia> Ubnoobtu: not really an ubuntu issue
[18:29] <m_tadeu> ActionParsnip: thanx for your help
[18:29] <Ubnoobtu> Ikonia, how can I use unbuntu to do it cleanly.
[18:30] <ikonia> Ubnoobtu: to do what ?
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Ubnoobtu: its debian based. Try #debian ;-)
[18:31] <Ubnoobtu> besides using the start up disk creator, dd, and Uneetbootin, how can I use Ubuntu to create a Live cd/usb
[18:31] <mastro> is there an ubuntu live cd with pre-installed nvidia drivers?
[18:31] <b0red> ive went through the ubuntu comminity Loadable_Modules page, and it doesn't help me about resolving my problem
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Ubnoobtu : is it compatible with unetbootin?  I suggest you check the creator website for how to guides
[18:32] <ikonia> Ubnoobtu: those are the tools - if it doesn't work, it's probably the os, again, nothing to do with ubuntu
[18:34] <_DB> hey guys
[18:34] <Ubnoobtu> ikonia, thanks for the help, I can guess I've been irritating you my noob questions.
[18:34] <ikonia> Ubnoobtu: not at all, that's why people are here, to help you
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Ubnoobtu : there is a how to on the site.  Did you not think to check the FAQ section? ?
[18:34] <_DB> what is a good  Mysql/php myadmin server to use for Ubuntu?
[18:35] <Ubnoobtu> but youve been helpful, so thanks.
[18:35] <ikonia> _DB: admin server ?
[18:35] <_DB> yes, not sure what they are called
[18:35] <_DB>  so I can run a localhost?
[18:35] <ikonia> _DB: what do you want to do ?
[18:35] <ikonia> _DB: what's the end goal, lets see if we can figure out what you want
[18:35] <Ubnoobtu> actionParsnip | I did as I was told on the website, but when I booted it up, it said I was missing a file.
[18:35] <_DB> set up a localhost/my sql databases
[18:35] <_DB> so I can run mywebsites
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Ubnoobtu : did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[18:36] <ikonia> _DB: ok, so there is no "admin" server needed, just install mysql/php/apache (google ubuntu lamp)
[18:36] <ikonia> _DB: did you mean "web server" ?
[18:36] <t-ubuntu> pranjal710, hi
[18:37] <pranjal710> t-ubuntu: Hi
[18:37] <jhutchins> I think _DB is after a GUI management tool like phpMyAdmin, which is really just a set of PHP scripts for Apache.
[18:37] <t-ubuntu> hello
[18:37] <t-ubuntu> join #windows
[18:37] <ikonia> jhutchins well, lets find out when he responds.
[18:37] <pranjal710> I am trying to run a shell script, but I am getting the following error:  spawn: not found
[18:37] <t-ubuntu> join #windows
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Ikonia: probably something like phpmyadmin
[18:37] <_DB> yeah I used to use Xampp on Ubuntu
[18:37] <jhutchins> _DB: They're right though, you don't need it for basic setup of a LAMP site.
[18:37] <ikonia> pranjal710: that command is not on your system
[18:37] <ikonia> _DB: very strongly advise you not to use xampp
[18:38] <pranjal710> ikonia: so, how do I get it?
[18:38] <jhutchins> _DB: There should be a README with whatever PHP CM you're using that gives you the basic steps to initialize the database.
[18:38] <ikonia> pranjal710: you find a package that contains it or the function in the script
[18:38] <pranjal710> ikonia: any leads?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Pranjal710 : run it on it's own and you will be told
[18:38] <ikonia> pranjal710: no
[18:38] <_DB> I went to apachefriends.org which is where I usually go to download Xampp for linux
[18:38] <ikonia> _DB: again, strongly advise against xampp
[18:38] <_DB> but it came in a. run file which I cant seem to open even when I download the software for it
[18:39] <ikonia> _DB: download the softawre for it ?? it's a binary file, you just execute it
[18:39] <_DB> what would you recommend ?
[18:39] <ikonia> _DB: but a final warning against using xammp
[18:39] <jhutchins> _DB: We're trying to tell you DON'T DO THAT.
[18:39] <ikonia> !lamp | _DB
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> _db: you don't open it. You run it. It's a linux binary
[18:40] <jhutchins> _DB: You want to do your best to avoid software that isn't manged by apt/dpkg.
[18:40] <_DB> ohh I see, since when has it been like that? before I used to get a .tar file
[18:40] <_DB> and it would give me a folder to put in the root
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> _db: there are metapackages in the repo so I have no idea why you need any 3rd party files
[18:41] <ajp> looking for some guidance. So I have this bash script that monitors a folder for PDFs and shrinks them when there is a new one. It works by itself and is great but when I reboot, my upstart script that initiates it is malfunctioning in some way. upstart script: http://pastebin.com/uiXkd901
[18:41] <ElFizbanio> !hardy heron
[18:42] <ajp> !upstart | ajp
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> _db: you are talking about a 3rd party so you would have to ask them "since when". Its some unofficial blob you have found.  We don't know about every single script available
[18:42] <jhutchins> ajp: What do you use to shrink them?
[18:42] <ajp> jhutchins: ghost script
[18:42] <t-ubuntu> join #gsoc-india
[18:42] <ajp> it's a single command in my bash script
[18:42] <t-ubuntu> oops
[18:43] <_DB> alright , thanks for the help
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: use a cron job to check an appropriate frequency
[18:43] <mastro> after entering single user mode, how do I instruct the system to go on with the standard booting?
[18:43] <ikonia> mastro: "exit"
[18:43] <ajp> ActionParsnip: well I thought of that but I want the shunken PDF to be ready as soon as it scans in
[18:44] <MauriMant74> Hey guys!!1 I am using ubuntu gnome 13.04  I have always used guake terminal that it is very nice (hit f12 to get a terminal) but I haven't be able to make it run during startup , I have to run it manually after every reboot
[18:44] <ajp> ActionParsnip: this is our business server and needs to spit things out right away
[18:44] <pranjal710> i have this script: http://pastebin.com/YHGrmxhe . I want to run it.
[18:44] <mastro> ikonia, tnx
[18:45] <rootgerardo> alguien habla castellano
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: do you get lots? Cron checks for jobs to run every minute so you can check every 5 mins if you get quite a few
[18:45] <oem> oi
[18:45] <MauriMant74> yo!  seguro q eres de Chile o Argentina..
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> !pt
[18:46] <ajp> ActionParsnip: it's not a matter of frequency but a matter of convenience. If I scan a document in I want to be able to send it out as an attachment right away and not have to wait a few minutes for it
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: then tell whatever is making them to compress the file as soon as it is made
[18:47] <ajp> ActionParsnip: doesn't cron use a lot of resources if it checks more frequently?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: it checks all the time.  If it has nothing to do it uses very few
[18:48] <ajp> ActionParsnip: the ghost script command actively monitors the folder and converts it right away then waits for the next one
[18:48] <MauriMant74> someone using Guake?
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: askubuntu.com/questions/43846/how-to-put-a-trigger-on-a-directory
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Mairimant74: every day
[18:49] <_DB> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[18:49] <MauriMant74> did you get to make it run after reboot  I have to run it manually after reboot
[18:49] <_DB> if I follow the Lamp stack instructions I will get everything?
[18:50] <ghostnik11> usr13: Feldegast: ActionParsnip: okay so i have testdisk and it sees my usb hard drive but when i select it, testdisk shows it with more storage than its suppose to have
[18:50] <MauriMant74> ActionParsnip: I include it in auto start apps but it does not work
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> MauriMant74: symlink in ~/.config/autostart
[18:50] <simple_john> Do we have good forensic/recovery people here?  I could use some help trying to recover data from a 8Gb sd card.
[18:50] <ajp> ActionParsnip: My problem is with upstart. I want this script to run at boot so I don't have to worry about it if I'm halfway around the world. (i'm the only IT guy) so i made an upstart script here: http://pastebin.com/uiXkd901  It worked for a few months then stopped working out of the blue
[18:50] <ActionParsnip>  Simple_john : foremost
[18:50] <subz3r0> !ask > simple_john
[18:51] <subz3r0> !ask | simple_john
[18:52] <jhutchins> ajp: Just call the script in rc.local.
[18:52] <simple_john> ActionParsnip: thanks, but it is the same sd card :p
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> Simple_john : scalpel is the only other I know.  Time to break out the backups
[18:53] <ajp> jhutchins: I'm not familiar
[18:54] <jhutchins> simple_john: There's also photorec
[18:54] <simple_john> ActionParsnip: I have foremost, scalpel, and photorec.  Sadly it is not my card and I believe there are no backup ;_;
[18:55] <[Chi]bears85> NO
[18:55] <simple_john> jhutchins: thanks.
[18:55] <jhutchins> It is often said that you do not really have something if your only copy is on flash ram.
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Simple_john : then I dunno what else to suggest.  Could pay for professional recovery if it's worth it
[18:55] <ajp> jhutchins: looks like I can't use rc.local because I have to run my script as root
[18:56] <jhutchins> ajp: rc.local runs as root.
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: rc.local runs as root
[18:56] <ajp> jhutchins: ActionParsnip: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9853/how-can-i-make-rc-local-run-on-startup
[18:56] <MauriMant74> ActionParsnip: In ~/.config/autostart I ahve a Guake.destop with the following http://pastebin.com/1EFTEuPp   It looks ok.. but itdoesnt work
[18:57] <simple_john> ActionParsnip: "I" don't think it is worth it.  What I'm after is ~3 gb worth of pictures.
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: rc.local always runs and as root.  Just add your command suffixed with an ampersand
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> MauriMant74: I have 2 guake files in there if memory serves
[18:58] <lenzeor> Hey Guys, I wondered if you could help me: I'm trying to connect an iPod Classic to my computer in Disk Mode, but it won't show in the file manager...
[18:59] <SachinIsGreat> Hi
[19:00] <SachinIsGreat> Is it secure to do nline shopping using ubun
[19:00] <ajp> ActionParsnip: which rc.local do I add it to? /etc/rc.local or /etc/init.d/rc.local ?
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: /etc/rc.local add above the ' exit 0 ' line
[19:01] <tgm4883> SachinIsGreat, yes, as secure as any other OS
[19:01] <ajp> ActionParsnip: do I just write the path or is there an exec command?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> MauriMant74 : http://paste.ubuntu.com5952323
[19:02] <SachinIsGreat> So is it secure if i buy a trojan magnum..can anybody track it
[19:02] <tgm4883> I.....
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: the absolute path to the command.  If it is a script be sure it is marked as executable
[19:02] <tgm4883> SachinIsGreat, who are you worried about?
[19:03] <FfoO> Greetings every one. Does any one know the web address I can add on 'sources.list' file so I can install 'sudo' package on ubuntu, and I hope I make sense with this question?
[19:03] <SachinIsGreat> Im worried about bad hackers
[19:03] <ajp> should I put the "." in front of the path for a bash script?
[19:03] <SachinIsGreat> No put my big dick
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> !ops
[19:03] <SachinIsGreat> Bash wont see ur small one
[19:04] <pvl1> ajp if your in the directory sure
[19:04] <ajp> !manners |  SachinIsGreat
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: is the script hidden?
[19:04] <ajp> nope
[19:04] <tgm4883> Corey, not quite
[19:04] <pvl1> ajp: but then itd be ./
[19:04] <ajp> I kinda meant how you would execute the script from CLI
[19:04] <pvl1> ajp: did you set the script to +x perm
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: then why would there be a dot if you are using absolute file names?
[19:05] <ajp> but it seems as though it just wants the whole path name and not a command
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: yes the file name from / all the way to the name itself.
[19:06] <ajp> ok done, now reboot?
[19:06] <pvl1> no need
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: with an ampersand?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: eg. /home/foo/scripts/filename &
[19:07] <ajp> to background it?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: yes or it could hang the boot
[19:08] <pvl1> ajp ActionParsnip why is there a need for a reboot
[19:08] <ajp> ActionParsnip:so I added "/home/matthew/scripts/MonitorScannedPDFsMatthew.sh &" to rc.local
[19:08] <ajp> pvl1: I was asking
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Pvl1: never said there was. Its useful as a full test though
[19:09] <Guest17612> hey friends
[19:09] <pvl1> ActionParsnip: do you mean the ampersand is usefull?
[19:09] <pvl1> ajp: youd only need to log out and log back in to update your path
[19:09] <pvl1> or whatever the variable is called
[19:09] <Guest17612> does anyone know a good CPU overclocking app for Ubuntu?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: the .sh isn't needed you know. You could call it .png and it'd work the same
[19:09] <pvl1> Guest17612: thats not a good idea
[19:09] <ajp> pvl1: it's a headless business server.  I want it to run at boot
[19:10] <Guest17612> yeah, but its still nice knowing i can overclock the CPU on linux
[19:11] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: you can overclock the CPU in any OS
[19:11] <pvl1> Guest17612: you can overclock on any system
[19:11] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: it's not useful any more though
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Pwl1: for a single script it doesn't need to be in the $PATH
[19:11] <pvl1> indeed my point ActionParsnip , there is no need for a reboot
[19:11] <pvl1> at all
[19:11] <mengxuan> I want to see what params are used in a deb package build, how should i find the arguments passed in configure in a deb source pacakge?
[19:11] <Guest17612> AMD CPUs are suppose to be easy to overclock, so i would like to try out the feature on Ubuntu
[19:11] <pvl1> ajp, youve added it to rc.local, and have you updated the permissions on your script
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Pvl1 : tests it works as expected
[19:11] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: it's not worth it
[19:12] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: back in the early days it was worth trying to overclock your 25MHz CPU to maybe 30MHz
[19:12] <ajp> pvl1: yes. how would I test besides reboot?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Guest17612: use your bios then. Ask in ##hardware
[19:12] <Guest17612> maybe, but I want to try it out
[19:12] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: now you can't really squeeze much more out of the CPU
[19:12] <pvl1> ajp: now your asking the right question :)
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: kill the things it starts then run: sudo /etc/rc.local in an ALT+F2
[19:13] <Guest17612> gordonjcp, i hear you can get close to 5GHz from new AMD CPUs
[19:13] <ajp> alt f2? Im connected to the server via ssh
[19:13] <pvl1> Guest17612: do you have a higher quality heat sink and fan for it
[19:14] <Guest17612> i'm going to get one, just going to test out on stock first
[19:14] <pvl1> ajp: running the script is the only test you need
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Ajp: then use screen and run rc.local then disconnect the screen so the things ran keep going
[19:14] <ajp> ok running /etc/rc.local gets it going I can see it watching the folder
[19:14] <pvl1> Guest17612: and then do u have moeny to replace the new amd cpu u will probably melt by doing this with stock equip
[19:14] <Guest17612> can you just tell me the apps on how to achieve overclocking on Ubuntu, thanks
[19:15] <pvl1> ajp: awesome
[19:15] <pvl1> Guest17612: its not an app, the bios is what really controls that. there are certain layers to an onion
[19:15] <ajp> can I just use "sudo /etc/rc.local &"
[19:15] <pvl1> ajp: to test?
[19:16] <Guest17612> pvl1, in Windows you can just use apps to overclock, bios is just software too
[19:16] <ajp> no I want it running all the time. I can't be connected via ssh forever?!
[19:16] <pvl1> ajp: id use screen just to be safe
[19:17] <ElFizbanio> could someone get this file and upload it to dropbox or something? http://quozl.linux.org.au/netrek-client-pygame/gytha_0.9-1_all.deb
[19:17] <ElFizbanio> it's prone to cut off
[19:17] <ajp> Why can't I just reboot and let it run?  HOWEVER i suggest you make your script exit 0, meaning if there are any indefinite loops, start another script
[19:19] <pvl1> ajp: it says so in the rc.local file to do so
[19:19] <pvl1> ajp: and good call, it is indeed firmware
[19:20] <ajp> ok, thanks pvl1, jhutchins, ActionParsnip. I will reboot after the business day and check but I'll see you tomorrow if a no go. Thanks Guys/Gals!
[19:20] <pvl1> nno prob
[19:20] <pvl1> good luck ajp
[19:20] <ajp> ty :D
[19:21] <Guest17612> pvl1, it doesn't matter if its linux or windows any OS can overclock the CPU
[19:21] <mpd2002> Hi, anybody here with chops to help me figure out a problem installing the php-gd package?  It seems to require an older version of php-common, and downgrading to that version apparently will remove some other packages that I need.
[19:22] <pvl1> Guest17612: im aware
[19:22] <Guest17612> even if you have a "dell" with a locked motherboard you can still overclock in linux or windows

[19:35] <Gokee2> Where can I find the Ubuntu 13.04 DVD download?  I have tried going to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop but it only seems to link to CD images, it seems a wast to burn a CD image to my DVD.
[19:36] <pvl1> mpd2002: and uve definetly run an apt-get update, enabled universe multiverse etc. it seems weird. gimme a few minutes, need to see what goin on in 12.04
[19:36] <mpd2002> pvl1:  i did try apt-get update and upgrade, haven't tried dist-upgrade.  apparently i have 5.3.26-1~dotdeb.0 of php5-common.
[19:37] <pvl1> mpd2002: well hold on there then
[19:37] <mpd2002> pvl1:  entirely possible i haven't enabled something i need to
[19:37] <pvl1> mpd2002: lemme look into this
[19:38] <pvl1> Gokee2: i think the alternate isntaller might be the larger disc ur looking for. nto sure
[19:38] <Gokee2> pvl1, Hmmm, is it a live-dvd as well?
[19:38] <pvl1> Gokee2: dont think so
[19:38] <pvl1> usr13: found this: http://siliconbased.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/ignoring-devices-with-udev-rules/
[19:39] <nurow> question about an annoying little bug.. everytime I do something in a GUI application that requires an admin password, the "Authentication is required" windows opens up BEHIND all of my other windows.
[19:39] <Gokee2> So if I want a live disk I need to get the cd sized image and burn it to my dvd?
[19:39] <nurow> it is so f'ing annoying
[19:40] <usr13> pvl1: Thanks, reading, (not uderstanding yet, but... reading....).
[19:40] <pvl1> usr13: i tried :(
[19:41] <pvl1> Gokee2: not necc. hold on a tick
[19:42] <Marlene_k> nurow : E: Could not open lock file /var/lock/aptitude - open (2: No such file or directory)▒
[19:42] <Gokee2> pvl1, Okay
[19:42] <pvl1> Gokee2: id go with liveusb if you dont wanna waste a dvd, but it seems that yeah they only released the cd image
[19:42] <nurow> marlene_k: I don't understand.. is that an error related to my issue?
[19:43] <Marlene_k> nurow : no i get this error while i run aptitude
[19:44] <pvl1> nurow: your not the only one with errors...
[19:44] <pvl1> Marlene_k: did you run it as root
[19:44] <nurow> pvl1: I know.. I just wasn't sure why she tagged me. I'm a noob :p
[19:44] <Gokee2> pvl1, Okay, thanks for looking!
[19:44] <pvl1> nurow: what ver ubuntu and what window manager
[19:45] <pvl1> nurow: sorry u right didnt see that
[19:45] <pvl1> Gokee2: no prob
[19:45] <nurow> pvl1: raring with Unity
[19:45] <Marlene_k> pvl1 : yes i run it as root
[19:46] <pvl1> mpd2002: hm
[19:46] <pvl1> mpd2002: it seems as tho you may need to compile php5-gd by hand with what you have, OR do a sys upgrade to the latest ubuntu
[19:46] <pvl1> mpd2002: do you need the LTS
[19:47] <mpd2002> pvl1: i don't mind upgrading, if that's what it takes.  what is LTS?
[19:47] <Sk1Special> long term support
[19:48] <pvl1> Marlene_k: as root, make the dir, and make it writeable by root
[19:48] <pvl1> nurow: hm that is really weird
[19:49] <nurow> yeah.. and I can pull it up by manually clicking the icon in the unity bar.. but sometimes I don't realize that it is prompting me
[19:50] <whois> hi can i ask
[19:50] <mpd2002> pvl1:  with you now.  i'm using the default distro from AWS.  there are a few other options, i think red hat is one of them, but hoping not to have to rebuild the whole thing.
[19:50] <whois> how to go to other room
[19:51] <pvl1> whois: /j #name_of_channel
[19:51] <whois> thanks pvl1
[19:51] <pvl1> mpd2002: oh do u mean amazon?
[19:51] <mpd2002> pvl1:  indeed, that's where we get our services
[19:52] <pvl1> oooooo
[19:52] <pvl1> 1 minute phone call
[19:54] <snollux> Hello hello. I'm trying to make an Ubuntu package, which will need to do the following: compile 1 c file, chown and chmod it, create a directory and move it to that directory.. and then chown and chmod  and move two python files
[19:54] <_andyj_> anyone help me debug fancontrol on a z77 mobo?  my cpu fan is at 100% and killing me
[19:54] <pvl1> nurow: try dpkg-reconfigure on gksu and gksudo
[19:54] <snollux> is there an easy way to do the chmod and chowning?
[19:55] <[Raiden]> snollux: man install
[19:56] <pvl1> snollux: the point of deb is to not compile
[19:56] <pvl1> mpd2002: i would probably give them a call first... otherwise you may need to compile php5-gd so that it builds to your system
[19:57] <BAFOS7> hello I have a question about tcl and wget from www.egghelp.org
[19:57] <MoPac> Hello - I know this sounds like a stupid "Google it" question, but I'm looking for documentation on the ubuntu software center sync functionality, and I can't seem to find it. Why is storing the information about installed packages? How is it encrypted? etc
[19:57] <MoPac> *Who is storing
[19:57] <k1l_> BAFOS7: then ask egghelp.org?
[19:57] <pvl1> mpd2002: actually do u have aptitude isntalled
[19:58] <nurow> pvl1: I'm a little confused, do I just run "dpkg-reconfigure" ?
[19:58] <BAFOS7> my question has to do with wget not egghelp
[19:58] <mpd2002> pvl1: i don't think so, i use apt-get for everything
[19:58] <nurow> im not familiar with gksudo or gksu
[19:58] <pvl1> mpd2002: try installing aptitude, running it, and installing php5-gd through there, might give you some insight
[19:58] <pvl1> mpd2002: read around the shortcuts about it so you know how to use it
[19:59] <pvl1> nurow: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gku gksudo
[19:59] <mpd2002> pvl1:  i will try it.  thanks a lot for your help!
[19:59] <pvl1> nurow: snap while ur at it might as well reconfigure unity. i cant find any errors on this
[19:59] <pvl1> mpd2002: no prob
[20:00] <nurow> thx, let me try this
[20:00] <titia> how do you convert an image from xpm to svg ?
[20:00] <nurow> pvl1: "dpkg-query: package 'gku' is not installed and no information is available"
[20:01] <pvl1> gksu
[20:01] <mastroMint> hi, I've installed ubuntu choosing other setting in partitioning and the existing EFI partition as EFI boot... restarting booted windows 8 without asking
[20:01] <mastroMint> any hint?
[20:01] <A1Recon> Which one of these do I install??
[20:01] <A1Recon> http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en
[20:01] <nurow> pvl1: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gksu is broken or not fully installed"
[20:01] <pvl1> AHA!!
[20:01] <A1Recon> I am running Ubuntu 13.04
[20:02] <pvl1> nurow: run a sudo apt-get check
[20:02] <nurow> so I just install gksu?
[20:02] <nurow> apt-get check works fine
[20:03] <pvl1> nurow: well gksu is apperently partially isntalled. hm apt-get check gksu
[20:03] <lukem> Hi Luke here with Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop
[20:03] <pvl1> nurow: u gotta get that installed correctly. so if u can purge it and isntall it without removing unity as well
[20:03] <nurow> i just installed gksu
[20:03] <lukem> Wondering why all of a sudden, I am unable to run certain python scripts in terminal
[20:04] <pvl1> mastroMint: start up the livecd again and set ur ubuntu partition as boot partition in gparted
[20:04] <pvl1> !java | A1Recon
[20:04] <BluesKaj> mastroMint, try holding the left shift key while booting to see if grub appears
[20:04] <lukem> I can run all but one python script, and this is for no reason. I  am under root priveleges, and it is an exectuable script. I really think this is a Ubuntu problem and not a python problem, because it does not even go into the file. Any ideas?
[20:04] <mastroMint> pvl1: this is EFI
[20:05] <mastroMint> BluesKaj: is this standard or laptop/brand specific?
[20:05] <pvl1> nurow: hit alt+f2 and type gksu apt-get update or whatever to test. but that doesnt sound like a fix
[20:05] <BluesKaj> it was on ubuntu , mastroMint , not sure if it works with efi tho
[20:05] <pvl1> lukem: ask in #python
[20:06] <lukem> but I think its a distro problem
[20:06] <nurow> pvl1, when I do that, I get a login propt that will not authenticate my password
[20:06] <lukem> my ubuntu is funky sometimes, it disconnects ssh automatically and internet does not always work 100%
[20:06] <pvl1> nurow: can you still do it in a terminal
[20:06] <nurow> but it works with sudo
[20:06] <lukem> my computer is fine because windows end works nicely.
[20:06] <lukem> any ideas?
[20:06] <proxypirate> hey guys have you seen the smartphone/mini computer that is going to come out in 2014 called -> 'Ubuntu Edge'. Apparently it is a fully smartphone and mini computer with 4gigs Ram and 128Gig Harddrive with an impressive Proccessor speed that will be fully powered by Ubuntu and it will give you the choice to either Run Ubuntu or Android's Jelly Bean operating syystem. Only thing is they are asking a lot of money for it -> $8
[20:06] <mastroMint> BluesKaj: the EFI partition is the second partition of the second disk, and I cannot change it
[20:06] <k1l_> BAFOS7: what is your question then?
[20:06] <MercX> anoyne using syngery and awesome wm?
[20:07] <cmartin0> Ubuntu 12.04, when I rotate a monitor Xorg uses 50% CPU.
[20:07] <nurow> when I run the command you gave me earlier, I still get dpkg-query: package 'gksudo' is not installed and no information is available
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> MercX:  synergy should work with any wndow manager
[20:07] <MercX> i have it setup and working, just a minor issue i am trying to iron out
[20:07] <pvl1> lukem: i doubt your python is ubuntu specific. try debugging it.
[20:08] <pvl1> nurow: what ver ubuntu are you on?
[20:08] <pvl1> nurow: you dont need gksudo, i just wasnt sure which one it was
[20:08] <nurow> 13.04
[20:08] <nurow> oh ok
[20:09] <k1l_> !pm | BAFOS7
[20:09] <BluesKaj> mastroMint, make the 2nd disk fist in the boot sequence in the bios , then try the shift key
[20:09] <BAFOS7> sorry
[20:09] <Snake2k> hey everyone, i have a black screen problem on ubuntu 12.04.. i tried the nomodeset thing etc doesnt work.. i get a purple screen then black and then nothing
 when I try to use wget to download a file from a website how do I know where the file is located?
[20:10] <mastroMint> BluesKaj: can;t either.. the first disk is an SSD used to boost disk speed
[20:10] <k1l_> BAFOS7: you need to know the exact path you want to download with wget
[20:10] <nurow> let me try to reboot now that i've installed gksu
[20:10] <pvl1> nurow: but does the unity
[20:10] <pvl1> appear in front now
[20:10] <BAFOS7> well for instance http://www.egghelp.org/tclhtml/3478-4-0-365-1.htm in this website
[20:10] <nurow> it is not fixed still
[20:10] <BAFOS7> how do I donwload the first file
[20:10] <proxypirate> if anyone is interested he is the link for the ubuntu edge -> http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge
[20:10] <k1l_> BAFOS7: like making a right click on the link and safe the link-path, the use wget with that link
[20:11] <BAFOS7> how do I find the exact path?
[20:11] <ksian> How to change the language for amd catalyst control center?
[20:11] <pvl1> nurow: reboot wont do anything
[20:11] <mastroMint> nurow: I didn't follow your issue, but rebooting for gksu doesn't make sense
[20:11] <BluesKaj> mastroMint,  well i guess you've painted yourself into a corner , unless someone else has a suggestion
[20:11] <BAFOS7> do I right click on the file and copy the link location?
[20:11] <nurow> ok
[20:11] <pvl1> mastroMint: his gksu unity prompt appears behind active windows
[20:11] <pvl1> or her
[20:11] <k1l_> proxypirate: lets keep this channel for support only. we have #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting and #ubuntu-touch for the system
[20:11] <mastroMint> pvl1: oh, I see, I doubt reinstalling gksu can fix it
[20:12] <guntbert> BAFOS7: yes, then you type   wget   and press <shift><ctrl>V
[20:12] <pvl1> mastroMint: i realized that after i said it. i was thinkigna  dpkg on unity?
[20:12] <BAFOS7> ok but
[20:12] <BAFOS7> when I do that
[20:12] <mastroMint> BluesKaj: how id it supposed to work? does grub install in the EFI partition? does it override the previous content? does it add to it? how is it supposed to work? first time with EFI
[20:12] <BAFOS7> I come up with this address
[20:12] <BAFOS7> http://www.egghelp.org/cgi-bin/tcl_archive.tcl?mode=download&id=1717
[20:13] <BAFOS7> and I know ubuntu download a file after the /
[20:13] <BAFOS7> so the file is not know
[20:13] <BAFOS7> I don't even know if I make any sense on what I try to say
[20:13] <guntbert> !enter|  BAFOS7
[20:13] <mastroMint> pvl1: I would say this is some extension issu or unity itself
[20:13] <mastroMint> pvl1: s/issu/issue/
[20:14] <guntbert> BAFOS7: why do you want to use wget?
[20:14] <BluesKaj> mastroMint, grub looks for the mbr on the disk and installs there , which is normally the first part of the disk (512 bytes or some such)
[20:14] <pvl1> mastroMint: hence a reconf otherwise i have no idea
[20:14] <BAFOS7> I want to download a tcl for an eggdrop
[20:14] <mastroMint> BluesKaj: that's for non-EFI
[20:14] <guntbert> BAFOS7: why don't you download it with your browser?
[20:14] <pvl1> BluesKaj: are you positive you did indeed install grub to mbr? and for that matter, do you only have one drive?
[20:15] <BAFOS7> because I want to learn how to use the command line
[20:15] <BluesKaj> mastroMint, ok , i was afraid that efi would change things :(
[20:15] <BAFOS7> I know how to download it from my browser :)
[20:15] <mastroMint> nurow: did the issue started recently?
[20:15] <guntbert> !who | BAFOS7
[20:15] <BluesKaj> pvl1, it's mastroMint with efi , ub untu boot problem
[20:16] <pvl1> BluesKaj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[20:16] <BluesKaj> mastroMint, ^
[20:16] <pvl1> idk what else to tell u :(
[20:16] <guntbert> BAFOS7: in that case I suggest you try from a website with "static" file links, the page you mentioned is obviously a script
[20:17] <BAFOS7> !tab guntbert any suggestions?
[20:17] <mastroMint> pvl1: auch... I dont want to disable srt
[20:17] <nurow> mastroofMint it has always happened with this laptop
[20:17] <Vivekananda> hey everyone .What is the password for a ubuntu 12.04 hd image for virtual box ?
[20:18] <pvl1> nurow: when you say always... have you tried installing fresh from a disc
[20:18] <guntbert> BAFOS7: for the tab thing: type   gun<tab>  (thats the tab-key on your keyboard)
[20:18] <Ninc0mP00p> how can i see other people in this room?
[20:19] <pvl1> mastroMint: whats it do anyway
[20:19] <guntbert> BAFOS7: as for suggestions: visit download.ubuntu.com  and look for a file you like
[20:19] <nurow> well, I installed fresh from a disc
[20:19] <nurow> originally
[20:19] <BAFOS7> ok thanks
[20:19] <BAFOS7> sorry for the chat confusion
[20:19] <nurow> but I have not re-installed Ubuntu
[20:19] <guntbert> BAFOS7: no problem :)
[20:19] <titia> how do you convert an image from xpm to svg ?
[20:19] <pvl1> nurow: hm... idk on a whim you could try to dpkg-reconfigure unity and all related programs
[20:19] <pvl1> libs
[20:20] <mastroMint> pvl1: I installed, choosing the existing EFI partition to use as EFI. My system has 2 disk, first one is an SSD used as SRT to boost disk performance on windows
[20:20] <pvl1> nurow: otherwise i really dont know, have you updated and upgraded
[20:20] <mastroMint> pvl1: after installing I rebooted but windows 8 started, no option was given
[20:20] <mastroMint> pvl1: this is the first time I play with EFI and I-m not sure what to do cause I don't know how it works
[20:20] <pvl1> BluesKaj: wow sorry my b
[20:20] <titia> how do you convert an image from xpm to svg ?
[20:21] <nurow> pvl1: I just tried dpkg-reconfigure unity, same thing
[20:21] <guntbert> !repeat | titia
[20:21] <pvl1> titia: google
[20:21] <BluesKaj> pvl1, np  :)
[20:21] <nurow> this is a system76 laptop, so let me try to lean on their support.
[20:21] <guntbert> !google | pvl1
[20:22] <pvl1> theres an issue when i get that everytime im in here :(
[20:22] <napsc> nurow: what do you have under compiz config manager -> general -> focus & raise behavior tab
[20:23] <mastroMint> guntbert: can't say I agree with that policy... makes users annoying and unwilling to look for their issues themselves
[20:23] <pvl1> mastroMint: did you look in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[20:23] <pvl1> mastroMint: my point is that you need to confirm that first ubuntu installed, grub installed, and that its to the right disk, and that your uefi likes it
[20:24] <pvl1> mastroMint: irc rules
[20:24] <mastroMint> pvl1: can't say I read it all, but yes I lookeat ad it.. and I'd rather avoid executing some "boot fix" which I don't know what does
[20:24] <pvl1> mastroMint: boot repair is ubuntu made
[20:24] <pvl1> canonical rather
[20:24] <Awaken> and it tells you exactly what its doing
[20:25] <Awaken> in fact if its the tool im thining of, it just gives you commands to copy and paste into terminal
[20:25] <mastroMint> pvl1: I want to know how EFI is expected to work with Linux.. can the EFI partition be the second partition on the second disk? how does grub install itself there? those it override the previous EFI? does it add itself to it?
[20:25] <nurow> napsc, how do I get to compiz config manager?
[20:25] <pvl1> mastroMint: no idea, id suggest digging in #linux
[20:25] <pvl1> i gotta head out
[20:25] <fulange> hey everyone, hows it going?  I, as you might expect, have come here to seek help...
[20:25] <pvl1> ill b on laters
[20:26] <mastroMint> pvl1: my policy is: do not run it if you don't know what it does, worked so far.. I want to understand what's going on before executing random tools and hope things will be right, sound much like windows style to me
[20:26] <guntbert> !ask | fulange
[20:26] <fulange> i am new to linux and just installed ubuntu 13.04 and it doesnt seem to see my ethernet cable!
[20:26] <titia> so a newbie comes to the ubuntu channel for help... one user tells him to google it... another one says he's annoying... nice... so is that the community spirit?
[20:27] <pvl1> titia: your question was not ubuntu specific
[20:27] <pvl1> this is an ubuntu support channel
[20:27] <guntbert> titia: no, but you need to be patient
[20:27] <napsc> nurow: software center -compizConfig ... i thought that is was installed on mine by default... guess i installed it
[20:27] <pvl1> all i can say is look into gimp titia thats the linux photoshop of u will
[20:27] <pvl1> bye all
[20:27] <gordonjcp> titia: did you have a specific Ubuntu support question?
[20:28] <fulange> i am new to linux and just installed ubuntu 13.04 and it doesnt seem to see my ethernet cable!
[20:28] <fulange> what can i do to "turn on" or activate my internet?
[20:28] <Guest27635> i have set up ad-hoc network on one Ubuntu machine and the other one will not connect to it. The SSID is greyed out in the network list
[20:28] <gordonjcp> fulange: see in the top right beside the clock and speaker symbols, do you see a symbol that looks like a pair of arrows pointing up and down?
[20:29] <napsc> nurow: nvrmind, about installing it though... you obviously didn't change it :)
[20:29] <fulange> nope, no arrows
[20:29] <titia> i need to convert an icon image from xpm to svg... i don't know what's the limit between what can be asked and what not...
[20:30] <nurow> ah.. *goes and uninstalls it*
[20:30] <gordonjcp> titia: that's not really about Ubuntu as such
[20:30] <titia> i thought it was an easy problem that someone here could give me a quick answer to...
[20:30] <gordonjcp> titia: it's harder to go from xpm to svg than the other way round, because you pretty much need to draw the vectors by hand
[20:31] <nurow> brb, I'm going to try a reboot (for more reasons than just this issue)
[20:31] <Sk1Special> titia, google gets you https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-November/129084.html
[20:31] <fulange> gordonjcp: no, no arrows, or other connection icon.  there is the wifi one, but no wired icon
[20:31] <gordonjcp> titia: if you google for something like "convert xpm to svg" you'll find there are various things that auto trace bitmaps, but the output isn't always great
[20:31] <Sk1Special> The most non-technical way to convert an xpm image to svg is to
[20:31] <Sk1Special> 1. Open it with GIMP
[20:31] <Sk1Special> 2. Save it as PNG
[20:31] <Sk1Special> 3. Open the PNG in Inkscape
[20:31] <Sk1Special> 4. Trace it, then save it as SVG.
[20:31] <FloodBot1> Sk1Special: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:31] <Guest27635> btw: network security is wpa2/psk personal
[20:31] <gordonjcp> fulange: right-click the wifi one?
[20:32] <raub> I am having an issue with the domain name being get fromt he dhcp server
[20:32] <Sk1Special> mh..im guessing copy pasteing a list makes it appear that way?
[20:32] <Ninc0mP00p> !tab fulange
[20:32] <guntbert> !pastebin | Sk1Special
[20:32] <gordonjcp> Sk1Special: lots of lines in quick succession ;-)
[20:33] <raub> This is 12.04. I can see the domain name in /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases, but when i type hostname -f it is not being used
[20:33] <gordonjcp> titia: what exactly are you trying to do?
[20:33] <Sk1Special> gordonjcp, guntbert yeah my bad..it just wasnt even a full line worth of info..and it sent it out as 4 even tho I only typed it on one. thats what i ment
[20:33] <fulange> gordonjcp: no joy, it only has wifi optinos for edit connections
[20:33] <titia> ok i can try to work it out now... thank you
[20:33] <fulange> nic0mp00p:  first off, nice name, but what does !tab mean?

[20:34] <Ninc0mP00p> im just a newbie
[20:35] <gordonjcp> titia: if it's something like an icon you're probably better drawing it from scratch in Inkscape
[20:35] <titia> gordonjcp: adjusting an icon...
[20:36] <fulange> guntbert:  where do i type that?  sorry, im really new lol
[20:36] <gordonjcp> titia: okay, you could just use gimp to edit the xpm and leave it as an xpm?
[20:37] <guntbert> fulange: right here, you need not type complete nicknames, they are autocompleted for you
[20:37] <BluesKaj> fulange, is this a laptop , if not do you have a usb wifi dongle connected , by any chance ?
[20:37] <fulange> guntbert: okay, kewl thanks
[20:38] <fulange> BluesKaj: no, its a desktop, no wifi card
[20:38] <nurow> reboot fixed it!
[20:38] <nurow> pvl1
[20:38] <fulange> BluesKaj: or dongle
[20:38] <BluesKaj> fulange, ok
[20:38] <nurow> mastroMint
[20:39] <titia> gordonjcp: somebody told me i had to make it svg
[20:39] <mengxuan> I want to see what params are used in a deb package build, how should i find the arguments passed in configure in a deb source pacakge?
[20:39] <nurow> dunno why but one of the many things we installed seems to have gotten it
[20:39] <titia> gordonjcp: that's ok... may i ask another question? not sure if it's ubuntu specific though...
[20:40] <nurow> actually, no. it is not fixed. *sigh*
[20:41] <mariop> Hi, how to install gcc 4.7 on 12.04.2? i have found gcc-4.7-base in the repos but it dosen't contain the compiler
[20:43] <fulange> so, what can i do to get internet?  lol
[20:44] <Jeena> I have found http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/raring/qtwebkit-source but when I try to install it I get "E: Unable to locate package qtwebkit-source" what am I doing wrong?
[20:44] <Jeena> I'm on Ubuntu 13.04
[20:44] <Dr_Willis_> Jeena:  whats the exact command you are using
[20:45] <trism> Jeena: the source packages produce several binary packages which are what you actually install
[20:45] <trism> Jeena: they are listed on that page
[20:45] <Jeena> sudo apt-get install qtwebkit-source
[20:45] <Jeena> ah
[20:45] <trism> Jeena: you probably want libqtwebkit-dev
[20:45] <BigCanOfTuna> I'm trying to install openjdk-7-jre-headless and I believe I don't have the correct sources.list settings. How can I tell which are the appropriate ones to add?
[20:45] <Dr_Willis_> !java | BigCanOfTuna
[20:45] <Jeena> will ty that
[20:46] <Dr_Willis_> BigCanOfTuna:  i think theres a ppa you add. not editing your sources.list (thats sort of old school and not common these days)
[20:46] <titia> i downloaded the tar.bz2 but which is the installer i must right click on to "Allow executing file as program"    http://askubuntu.com/questions/204681/kompozer-not-in-the-repo
[20:46] <Jeena> hm but it installed a lot of libqt4 instead of 5 which is what I use
[20:46] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  you did extract the archive first?
[20:47] <titia> yes
[20:47] <titia> there are many files
[20:47] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  you could pastebin the file listing. or read the readme file if it has one
[20:47] <trism> Jeena: libqt5webkit5-dev then
[20:47] <fulange> so, anyone have any solutions to my internet problem, or did yall give up on me?
[20:48] <t-ubuntu> Any1 frm India?
[20:48] <Jeena> ah ok thanks will try that
[20:48] <trism> Jeena: I was just going by the source package you linked which was for qt4
[20:48] <Jeena> yeah I understand that, I'm a bit confused
[20:48] <titia> could you tell me how a linux installer looks like? what is the extension?
[20:48] <rodrigograca31> half of TOR was "compromised" ? WTF?
[20:48] <rodrigograca31> link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23573048
[20:49] <trism> Jeena: best way to find the dev packages: apt-cache search -n qt webkit dev;
[20:50] <tor_> i finally got ad-hoc network up and running. problem was client would not connect with wpa/psk to the other ubuntu machine. but the funny thing is that my mobile 4G router also use wpa/psk and thee client connects just fine to this. what can be the problem here?
[20:50] <BluesKaj> fulange, open a terminal and run, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[20:50] <titia> i will pastebin...
[20:50] <Jeena> ok hm, I already had libqt5webkit5-dev installed, but the QWebView widget doesn't show up in the Qt Creator, googling said one needs to install qtwebkit-source
[20:51] <trism> Jeena: are you using qml?
[20:51] <fulange> BluesKaj: command not found
[20:51] <Jeena> I'm not sure I will try to install the qmlplugin
[20:51] <titia> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5952674/
[20:52] <BluesKaj> fulange, ok , sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[20:52] <Jeena> ok that didn't help
[20:52] <silkos> what you guys recommend with flash player? Chromium?
[20:52] <Marlene_k> pvl1 : i get same error if aptitude run
[20:53] <titia> Dr_Willis_: still there?
[20:53] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> Hi guys, can I install Ubuntu in 4gb?
[20:53] <fulange> BluesKaj: error while getting interface flags: no such device
[20:53] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> I have a netbook with 4gb hard disk.. Can I install Ubuntu?
[20:54] <tsongki> AlcoLeVecchiPens, what version are you installing
[20:54] <vlt> AlcoLeVecchiPens: A basic install can be as small as around 350 MB depending on the software you want to install.
[20:54] <BluesKaj> fulange, does lspci show an ethernet nic ?
[20:54] <t-ubuntu> Anyone frm India?
[20:54] <vlt> !anyone | t-ubuntu
[20:54] <k1l_> !india | t-ubuntu
[20:55] <fulange> BluesKaj: sorry for stupid question, but how do i find that out?  type lspci in terminal?
[20:55] <t-ubuntu> k
[20:55] <BluesKaj> fulange, yes
[20:55] <t-ubuntu> thx
[20:56] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> Vlt so How much gb in root and in home? And How about swap?
[20:56] <fulange> BluesKaj: oh, okay, nope, i dont see one.  hilarious because the pc has 2!  (card and on mobo)
[20:56] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> tsongki: lubuntu 13.04
[20:56] <drbond> any more juicy news on Ubuntu Edge :)
[20:56] <tsongki> AlcoLeVecchiPens,  yeah it can be installed, depending on the packages you will install
[20:57] <k1l_> drbond: better ask in #ubuntu-touch or #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:57] <BluesKaj> fulange, have you tried both ethernets ?  I have to ask
[20:57] <fulange> BluesKaj: yea, i have.  its kewl
[20:58] <AlcoLeVecchiPens> tsongki: maybe i dont need other package.. Only preinstalled software
[20:58] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  the somewhat obvious run-whatever.sh   looks likely
[20:58] <BluesKaj> ifconfiog, in the terminal , fulange , pastebin the output
[20:58] <fulange> BluesKaj: pastebin?
[20:59] <BluesKaj> !pastebin
[20:59] <titia> likely? not sure?
[21:00] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  its a common file name to RUN mozilla/firefox
[21:00] <Dr_Willis_> titia: .sh -> shell script
[21:00] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  if you want to be sure - check the apps homepage and docs/wiki/forums
[21:01] <titia> is an installer always a .sh file?
[21:01] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  i see no actual 'installer' in that package. many apps that come precompiled do NOT have an installer. Yoi just exctract the archive and run the app from the directory it makes
[21:01] <flipper88_fl> titia: Not always depends on if you're compiling from sources
[21:01] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  the use of 'installer files' in linux/ubuntu is somewhat rare
[21:02] <Dr_Willis_> titia:  the more common way would be to find a PPA for whatever it is you are trying to install
[21:02] <titia> but askubuntu.com is official is it not? http://askubuntu.com/questions/204681/kompozer-not-in-the-repo
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> titia:  anyone can post anything to askubuntu.com - other users then can vote/verify/discuss the answers
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> the best answers get the most votes in theory
[21:03] <Vivekananda> hey everyone Dr_Willis howdy
[21:03] <Vivekananda> where can i get a quickstart guide to ubuntu
[21:03] <titia> so what would you do? (easy, step by step please)
[21:03] <Vivekananda> for unity and things like quick search and all
[21:04] <fulange> BluesKaj: pasted... i hope
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> Vivekananda  is this useful http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Precise
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> (old link, moment)
[21:05] <BluesKaj> ok ful, now give us the resulting url after submitting the text
[21:05] <BluesKaj> fulange,^
[21:05] <Dr_Willis> titia:  from what i see.. you extact the archive and run that .sh file and that runs the app.
[21:06] <fulange> BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5952709/
[21:06] <Vivekananda> MonkeyDust: I am very highly used to using kufper on lubuntu
[21:06] <titia> Dr_Willis: how do i put it in the menu?
[21:06] <Vivekananda> Dash is a similar thing but I want to know how to use it to the hilt
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> titia:  or check out this google hit --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallKompozer
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> titia:  make a .desktop file for it  and put that file in the proper directory
[21:07] <k1l_> Vivekananda: start from here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity
[21:07] <Dr_Willis> titia:  or as that url i posted mentions.. there IS a ppa for it - that has .deb packages
[21:07] <titia> Dr_Willis: no but i prefer to try bluegriffon....
[21:07] <petersaints> does anyone know how to remove Ubuntu from my UEFI boot options? I already tried efibootmgr from a Live USB but once I reboot it is there again. I could just ignore it but I'd really like to fix it.
[21:07] <BluesKaj> fulange, copy and paste this into the terminal , sudo dhclient -r eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0 , then try a browser to see if it connects
[21:08] <Dr_Willis> titia:  so try it.  run that .sh and see if it works
[21:08] <fulange> BluesKaj: im doing this on a separate pc, so no copy & paste lol give me a second...
[21:09] <Vivekananda> k1l_: just a quick question. How do I launch dash using keyboard and no mouse
[21:09] <Vivekananda> is there a default shortcut or do I create one ?
[21:09] <k1l_> super key
[21:09] <BluesKaj> fulange, yes , of course , sorry about that
[21:09] <titia> does not work... maybe because i am in the guest session?
[21:10] <k1l_> titia: you cant isntall stuff in guest session. that is the sense in the guest session
[21:10] <Dr_Willis> titia:  run it from terminal. look for error messages.
[21:10] <fulange> BluesKaj: no joy.  "cannont find device eth0
[21:10] <Dr_Willis> hes not really 'installing stuff' hes running a binary from a .tar.gz archive
[21:11] <BluesKaj> fulange, well , did you have ubuntu working with 2nics previous to this install ?
[21:11] <Dr_Willis> and the binary that just worked for me was called 'bluegriffin' in that extracted directory the arvhicve made
[21:12] <Vivekananda> also another question . I downloaded vbox hdi file for ubuntu. the download zip has the virtual hd an danother file called virtualbox machine definition file. What is it for ?
[21:13] <fulange> BluesKaj: no, i was running windows.  its now a dual boot.  hilarious part?  windows internet works fine
[21:14] <BluesKaj> fulange, which nic are you connecting with on windows ?
[21:14] <Dr_Willis> Vivekananda:  i imagine its a settin file that vbox reads/imports to know how to setup the vm
[21:14] <fulange> BluesKaj: my card (gigabit ethernet adapter) same as on ubuntu
[21:15] <t-ubuntu> how do u remove xchat logs in Ubuntu?
[21:15] <t-ubuntu> Where is the folder or path?
[21:15] <titia> Dr_Willis: have a problem, have to go. i will try later. thank you for your help. you definitely do good to ubuntu (unlike those others before who were not nice...) thank you also to all the others who helped. bye bye :)
[21:15] <TheLordOfTime> did they rename "Additional Drivers" to something else when 12.10 or later was released?
[21:15] <Dr_Willis> TheLordOfTime:  it got moved to a tab under 'software-sources'  in 12.10+ i think
[21:15] <TheLordOfTime> Dr_Willis:  ok
[21:15] <Dr_Willis> jockey-text (or was it jockey-cli) is still there
[21:16] <BluesKaj> fulange, and you tried the onboard connection as well.
[21:16] <BluesKaj> on the mobo
[21:16] <fulange> BluesKaj: indeed so
[21:16] <Dr_Willis> They really need to work on this habbit of changeing names.. and making some simple script/commands to get to the proper area.
[21:16] <Vivekananda> Dr_Willis: I was wondering if it wwas useless and I should delete it :)
[21:16] <Dr_Willis> Be nice to have a 'addational-drivers' bianry that opened up the app to the right tab. ;)
[21:16] <Dr_Willis> Vivekananda:  when in doubt. check the vbox manual.
[21:17] <Guest17612> how much personal information does Ubuntu take from us when we are sending an error report?
[21:17] <BayaBaya> Hello guys, where can I get some help about kernel compilation?
[21:18] <BluesKaj> fulange, the only thing ai can think of is , sudo apt-get install --reinstall networkmanager , in the terminal
[21:18] <BluesKaj> ai = I
[21:19] <fulange> BluesKaj: unable to locate package!  perhaps that is my problem?
[21:19] <Guest17612> when i'm browsing the web and Ubuntu crashes, does the error report send the website information and such??
[21:20] <BluesKaj> fulange, try the software center , networkmanager in the search
[21:20] <Dr_Willis> t-ubuntu:  .xchat* or .config/xchat* would be my guess
[21:21] <fulange> BluesKaj: okay, i will.  thanks for all the help blue.  Ive gotta go get my kids from school, ill have to try it later.  thanks for the help.
[21:21] <BluesKaj> ful , ok cool ...later
[21:21] <BluesKaj> fulange,^
[21:21] <t-ubuntu> Dr_Willis,  where do I find that?
[21:22] <t-ubuntu> in documents or what Dr_Willis  ?
[21:22] <richwestcoast> Does anyone know who owns ubuntu?
[21:22] <richwestcoast> and where he lives so i can write him a thank you letter
[21:22] <Guest17612> is there an option to disable the Ubuntu privacy invading Zeigeist?
[21:23] <richwestcoast> the shopping lens?
[21:23] <Guest17612> i don't want Ubuntu's Zeigeist to log every website i visit, every personal i talk with, every song and video i listen and watch
[21:23] <richwestcoast> sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
[21:24] <k1l_> Guest17612: did you take a look into the privacy settings?
[21:25] <Guest17612> can i just disable all of Zeigeist? or is it essential for the Ubuntu OS?
[21:25] <zteam> Guest17612, that can be turned off in the privacy settings on Ubuntu 13.04
[21:25] <k1l_> Guest17612: again: privacy settings
[21:25] <Guest17612> ok i'll take a look
[21:26] <zteam> Guest17612, it should also be noted that Zeigeist that does not send your searches anywhere
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> t-ubuntu:  the xchat homepage has docs on using it.. normally thers some .xchat* direcrory it keeps info in.
[21:26] <tripelb> from a root shell, how can i see a list of users?
[21:27] <k1l_> yes, zeitgeist ist not bad at all.
[21:27] <t-ubuntu> oh
[21:27] <blazemore> Dr_Willis: your "directory" typo trigger the hilight for my name...
[21:27] <tripelb> hint there is only one, me and i forgot my password
[21:27] <zteam> Guest17612, it just log your recent files to able to let you access file you was working earlier
[21:27] <blazemore> tripelb: ls /home
[21:27] <t-ubuntu> whats the main path?
[21:27] <blazemore> tripelb: or cat /etc/passwd
[21:27] <t-ubuntu> If someone can give it to me?
[21:28] <irssi-mike> I can't get sound out of the right speaker, it worked before i lost power (knocked out the cord), i've tested the speaker in windows and it sounds fine but in ubuntu nothing.
[21:28] <blazemore> t-ubuntu: ~/.xchat or similar
[21:28] <t-ubuntu> ok
[21:28] <gordonjcp> irssi-mike: right-click the wee speaker thing in the top right, pull up the sound settings, and check the correct output is set
[21:28] <blazemore> t-ubuntu: In your home directory. Files that start with a dot are hidden from the file manager list
[21:29] <Guest17612> is it safe to use this purge command? just wondering http://customizeubuntu.com/preferences/privacy/disabling-privacy-invasive-zeitgeist
[21:29] <k1l_> Guest17612: again: what is wrong with the privacy settings?
[21:29] <t-ubuntu> k
[21:30] <irssi-mike> gordonjcp: looks the same as always, after the cord was knocked out it said "restore starting sound card mixer state fail" at boot up so i reloaded the drivers and the message went away but the speaker still has no sound
[21:31] <zteam> Guest17612, Removing that package should not create any real issues for you as far as I know, but, don't see why you don't just use the privacy settings instead
[21:31] <tripelb> blazemore: got acct name. but i get error on reset, viz: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error                  :
[21:31] <blazemore> tripelb: What are you trying to do, exactly?
[21:31] <kingbeast> When saving a bash script, what extension do I use? .sh?
[21:31] <blazemore> kingbeast: It doesn't matter, but the convention is .sh
[21:32] <kingbeast> thanks blazemore
[21:32] <blazemore> kingbeast: On Linux, there's nothing actually special about the part after the last dot in the filename; it's more of a "clue"
[21:32] <irssi-mike> gordonjcp: the command was http://pastebin.com/xYN1nXzf
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> kingbeast: the first line of the bash script is more improtnat then the name/extension
[21:33] <kingbeast> blazemore, Okay, I was just curious. Trying to write one to add to my cron jobs to sync my Gdrive with grive.
[21:34] <Guest17612> zteam, since i won't use it it is probably best to just purge is, it may even use less system resources
[21:34] <blazemore> kingbeast: just make sure the first line is "#! /bin/bash" and you'll be great :)
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> kingbeast:  theres dozens if not hunderds of 'commands' that are actually bash scripts with no .sh at the end. ;)
[21:34] <blazemore> tripelb: ?
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> kingbeast:  also perl, python and so forth.. its all about the first line of the file
[21:34] <tripelb> blazemore: stupid human changed password to make it easier. forgot new password. want to reset it. now in recovery kernel root shell. (12.04 from iso. no updates, no net connection)
[21:34] <blazemore> tripelb: You are logged in as root now?
[21:34] <gordonjcp> !password | tripelb
[21:35] <icywater> hi
[21:35] <gordonjcp> tripelb: you've read all that, right?
[21:35] <kingbeast> thanks blazemore and Dr_Willis
[21:35] <Guest17612> i'm sure it takes processing power and memory to log everything you do on your Ubuntu computer "Zeitgeist is a service which logs the user's activities and events (files opened, websites visited, conversations hold with other people, etc.) and makes the information available to other applications."
[21:35] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: not much, in the grand scheme of things
[21:36] <zteam> Guest17612, if you turn a feature off, it won't use any resources at all, a side from a a few Megabytes on your harddrive that is
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> Guest17612:  I imagine the flash banner ads in your browser suck down more cpu/memory
[21:36] <gordonjcp> Guest17612: every so often it'll rattle through some files and index them a bit like slocate does
[21:36] <blazemore> Guest17612: It doesn't make a whole lot of difference, why don't you try with and without, and see?
[21:36] <kingbeast> oh one more blazemore it would probably be best for me to add that one to the daily crons right?
[21:36] <Guest17612> Dr_Willis, Flash Block addon :P
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> Guest17612:  thats taking cpu also!
[21:36] <blazemore> kingbeast: Well that entirely depends on what you want to do...
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> Must conserve cpu! cant let it get over 1%! ;P
[21:36] <k1l_> Guest17612: in the end its a service. its not intended to spy on you. you are focusing on the wrong part
[21:37] <zteam> Guest17612, But uninstall it if you want, just remember to check to see so that APT wouldn't remove anything you really want on the ride :)
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> zegtiest is handy if you do a lot of word processing/doc/image/video creation to keep track of things
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> but i dont do much of that. ;)
[21:38] <kingbeast> ok thanks blazemore
[21:38] <tripelb> blazemore: i am already in root, having done the ubotto plan before I asked in here. then asked to get username. got it. then the same ptoblem - with the error message i stated above.
[21:38] <Guest17612> a malicious app could have access to your personal Zeitgeist logs, and anyone using your computer
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> a malicious app could do anything to anything.. in your home.
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> so with that logic.. dont connect to the internet.
[21:39] <tripelb> blazemore: REPEATED message --> stupid human changed password to make it easier. forgot new password. want to reset it. now in recovery kernel root shell. (12.04 from iso. no updates, no net connection)
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> just leave the pc turned off. :)
[21:39]  * wilee-nilee imagines the sky is falling
[21:39] <k1l_> Guest17612: in that case it coule read the data anyway. so there is no reason for or against zeitgeist
[21:40] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  recovery console? as root you should be able to do 'passwd username' and set a new password.. or do you mean you are on a live cd?
[21:40] <Guest17612> is it safe to u=purge geoclue also? "GeoClue is a software framework that enables geospatial awareness in applications. In human language: physical location tracking software."
[21:40] <zteam> Guest17612, If you have a malicious application installed on tour software, you have far more to worry about, than zeitgeist to get your filenames
[21:40] <DBoyz> hi. how do i solve this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5952809/
[21:40] <tripelb> blazemore: oops wrong repeat. i am on a tint ohone. will send error message to you again
[21:40] <DBoyz> seems that i have build essential installed
[21:40] <zteam> Guest17612,  that application would be able to copy your entire home folder
[21:40] <Guest17612> i know geoclue is used to sync the time, but i don't mind using the old fashioned manual set up of time
[21:41] <DBoyz> pkg-config is installed too
[21:41] <k1l_> Guest17612: if you dont want it, remove it. but dont use that false arguments to justify it
[21:42] <tripelb> blazemore: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error     >passwd: password unchanged
[21:42] <k1l_> Guest17612: but be aware that alot of desktop-apps/services rely on that both services.
[21:43] <Guest17612> k1l_, what else does Ubuntu OS need Geoclue for, besides tracking your location to give you the correct time?
[21:43] <k1l_> Guest17612: that depends on your usecase. weather apps etc.
[21:44] <tripelb> dr willis, not on cd. i get toot. it will not accept password. error message in entry to blackmore just above authentication token manipulation error.
[21:44] <Guest17612> i'm sure you can just manually set up a location for weather apps, you don't need to be tracked for that
[21:44]  * DBoyz waits for an answer
[21:46] <k1l_> Guest17612: that depends on the apps. and again: if you dont want it remove it. but be aware that something can break
[21:47] <wilee-nilee> Guest17612, For someone with these concerns I would think using the IRC with an IO showing would be a problem.
[21:47] <wilee-nilee> IP*
[21:47] <Guest17612> as long as Ubuntu OS doesn't break, it should be fine
[21:48] <tripelb> Dr_Willis:  willis, not on cd. i get toot. it will not accept password. error message in entry to blackmore just above authentication token manipulation error.
[21:48] <Guest17612> wilee-nilee, it could be a proxy :P
[21:48] <wilee-nilee> Guest17612, Thats your word, and that does not really matter.
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  err. you did remount / to be read-write?
[21:50] <rendoorf> What happens to a video when you delete it from your windows partition through ubuntu?
[21:50] <k1l_> rendoorf: its deleted?
[21:50] <k1l_> rendoorf: what do you want to know?
[21:50] <rendoorf> yeah but is it in the recycle bin or is it permanent?
[21:50] <Scub> depends on how it was removed
[21:51] <thecodethinker> I just built and installed ogre and for some reason the lib isn't being detected. It's in the /usr/local/lib path and that path is in ld.so.conf.... so why isn't any program finding that lib
[21:51] <Scub> an rm -rf will not go to any lost and found, but it will leave the inode intact
[21:51] <thecodethinker> ?
[21:51] <rendoorf> I mounted the windows partition and selected it and pressed the delete key in nautilus
[21:51] <Scub> a shred -vfuz won't be so nice
[21:51] <tripelb> Dr_Willis:  i am not booting from a cd. i an in a root shell after choosing recovery kernel... it will not accept password. error message after I give new password twice, passwd: Authentication token manipulation error.
[21:52] <jrib> tripelb, Dr_Willis: ensure / is mounted rw
[21:53] <Scub> you can check the 'trash bin' after mounting the windows partition once again to see if its there, otherwise you'll have to do a bit of fs carving to get her back out
[21:53] <rendoorf> Ok. I don't want it just want to make sure it's gone. Thanks. I'll look into shred.
[21:54] <tripelb> Dr_Willis: since i do not understand "remount to be read write" then i did not do it. ---- context. i have done this in earlier ubuntus like 9.04 .. and no problem. i feel ignorant, even dense.
[21:55] <tripelb> jrib what is the exact command you want me to run, please.
[21:55] <jrib> tripelb: what is the output of « mount »
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  / is mounted read only. You cant write to the password file - thus cant change the password
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> you would want / mounted read only - if you were going to fsck the filesystem
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/213584/how-to-remount-a-read-only-folder-as-readwrite
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> mount -o remount,rw /
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> that syntax looks wrong. ;)  i dont think it needs a ,
[22:00] <jrib> Dr_Willis: that's right (they're both options)
[22:00] <crankharder> Is there any command that, given an interface, will drop just the address to STDOUT.  I'm trying to avoid ifconfig/ip | grep/awk if I can
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> that just seems.. weird..i cant think of anything else using a comma as that
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> ;) perhaps its mount's oldness sneeking in
[22:00] <jrib> crankharder: you can probably get pretty close with ip
[22:01] <mmercer> crankharder: you could try grep ddress /etc/network/interfaces
[22:01] <blah> can somebody help me installing ubuntu on a windows 8 oem? I have tried using wubi to install it and this is what I get after wubi downloads the image and reboots: File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr State: 0xc000007b Information: Could not load application or Operating System because of the lack of the required file or errors in this file
[22:02] <wilee-nilee> !uefi | blah wubi does not work in uefi
[22:02] <OerHeks> blah told you, wubi is not going to work on windows 8
[22:02] <blah> i disabled uefi mode and turned on legacy
[22:03] <tripelb> jrib: several lines 8 to be exact output from mount and difficult to type with one thumb.  1st is /dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)     That woild be the ubuntu partition. it is the only one starting with /dev… alsothe only one with sd# in it ir type ext4 (nothing at all about the windows partitions!! That will be my next question.)
[22:03] <k1l_> blah, just make a real install, not with wubi
[22:03] <wilee-nilee> blah, Does not matter you have a uefi gpt partitioning and wubi is basically not supported.
[22:03] <blah> gotcha
[22:03] <OerHeks> and b sure windows8/fastboot is disabled.
[22:03] <blah> so i partition my disk, install ubuntu
[22:04] <tripelb> Dr_Willis: that makes sense. tho ubottu missed ot in the howto.
[22:04] <blah> is it possible that I can install windows 8 on top of it?
[22:04] <wilee-nilee> blah, besides the wiki and help here, here is a helpful thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
[22:04] <kingbeast> Would anyone be willing to double check(by reading) my bash script, just to double check my work? It's the first one I have written and would like confirmation.
[22:04] <wilee-nilee> blah, Have W8 backed up a clone would be the smartest move.
[22:05] <blah> sounds good to me
[22:05] <blah> thanks!
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> i always take out my windows hd.. and put in a nice SSD for linux. :) and keep the windows hd in a vault under heavy security  - in case it tryes to escape.
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> ;P
[22:06] <blazemore> tripelb: Sorry, did you get it sorted?
[22:06] <blazemore> tripelb: The answer is mount -rw -o remount /
[22:07] <gotwig> I can understand why click packages are so important for canonical. Apt-get is very very slow
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> hmm.. slightly differnt syntax then ->   mount -o remount,rw /
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> guessing -rw is a shortcut for -o rw
[22:07] <georoot> hi can someone help me how to make disk image from source code
[22:08] <blazemore> georoot: What are you actually trying to do?
[22:08] <gotwig> can you tell me how so..? I use magaia right now with rpmdrake, before that I used yum  , and damn, you dont believe me how fast it is. about 14 packages , 120 mb, installed in under 20 seconds
[22:08] <georoot> well i tried compiling according to lfs
[22:08] <georoot> and was successfull
[22:08] <gotwig> georoot: ?
[22:08] <tripelb> i Dr_Willis Bingo. the command DID NOT CHANGE THE OUTPUT OF MOUNT (huh) but it did let me change the password. Thank you. ty blazemore too. // AND how where what can I read to learn more, how yo inderstand linux shell commands. not everything or i will be overwhelmed. just more than learn code the hard way.
[22:08] <georoot> now i want to know how to make iso distro
[22:08] <blazemore> !details | georoot What are you ACTUALLY trying to do?
[22:09] <gotwig> georoot: do you want to do an ubuntu spin?
[22:10] <georoot> i compiled my custom linux os on my system. but i dont know how to create .iso disk image.I tried using makeisoof but it didnt seem to work out
[22:10] <tripelb> now.. please, how do i see the windows partitions so i can store files on them. (why was it easy on gnome2 and no longer?)
[22:10] <gotwig> georoot: dont ask here, but on the linux from scratch channel o.0 lol
[22:11] <gotwig> tripelb: ?
[22:11] <gotwig> tripelb: try to find them with "Disk utility"
[22:11] <blazemore> tripelb: It is in the sidebar of the file manager
[22:12] <Vivekananda> I used the downloaded vdi for virtualbox. I am trying to find all possible resolutions for the ubuntu inside but the vdi install but it does not gimme all the options
[22:12] <gotwig> Vivekananda: "resolutions" ?
[22:13] <tripelb> gotwig i am here. plus now unity thinks i am on a laptop and all the text is huge so i cannot get to the display window buttons to change it. blazemore
[22:13] <gotwig> tripelb: unity does not scale things up
[22:13] <Vivekananda> gotwig: I went into appearance and displays
[22:14] <tripelb> blazemore: when i put in a disk i see it therek
[22:14] <Vivekananda> but I dont find the correct resolution ie 1600 by 900 for the screen
[22:14] <gotwig> Vivekananda: oh, maybe you miss the guest addition drivers?
[22:14] <tripelb>  blazemore but no other partitions are there. now what?
[22:15] <Vivekananda> gotwig: where do I enable it ?
[22:15] <Vivekananda> I have not done any special setup yet
[22:15] <gotwig> Vivekananda: well, you gotta have to install it
[22:15] <blazemore> tripelb: if you run the command "sudo fdisk -l" do you see, in the output, anything which looks like it might be your Windows drive?
[22:15] <spikespiegel> has anyone's system ever just felt sluggish after an install as if something didn't go right during install?
[22:16] <Vivekananda> I just installed the vbox in win7 and started up the vdi image also downloaded
[22:16] <blazemore> Vivekananda: In order to get the best experience running Ubuntu inside Virtualbox, you need to install the Guest Additions
[22:16] <blazemore> Vivekananda: This will give you way more features including more resolutions, pointer sharing and stuff. Look on the Virtualbox website
[22:18] <tripelb> gotwig gisk utility sees pata host adaptor under which is the 80g hd and that ahows an unmounted 34 g partition (there are more) i clicked on mount still nothing in l-sidebar
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  when in doubt check output of 'mount' to see if got mounted.
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> tripelb:  or try mounting by hand to look for errors with mounting it.
[22:19] <tripelb> i cannot see the entire screen nor change it from laptop. (whines and cries)
[22:20] <toottut> i have a question about booting from USB
[22:20] <toottut> i get blank screen after setting boot from USB in my bios
[22:20] <toottut> any help?
[22:21] <tripelb> Dr_Willis: i need to learn how to mount by hand. how to check...   i will look for a webpage. bbs
[22:21] <toottut> anyone?
[22:22] <hw4ng3r> ..
[22:22] <daftykins> toottut: how did you make the flash drive up? what computer? is it new?
[22:22] <daftykins> wilee-nilee: wb
[22:22] <toottut> i5 lga1156 platform
[22:22] <toottut> unetbootin
[22:22] <tripelb> gotwig: Dr_Willis blazemore - reboot restored screen size. whew.
[22:22] <wilee-nilee> ;) had to boot to W8
[22:23] <daftykins> toottut: unetbootin has some flaws with UEFI in particular - if you're not booting in legacy mode, remake it with something else
[22:23] <toottut> im in w7
[22:24] <toottut> daftykins: can i use magiciso to extract the files instead?
[22:24] <ESphynx> Hey guys, my new laptop won't boot the LiveCD ... fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs efi vga  ... any clue?
[22:24] <daftykins> toottut: installed as UEFI?
[22:24] <daftykins> toottut: no, grab universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com instead for a try
[22:24] <wilee-nilee> So I am trying to make a copy of a dvd a owned Hollywood release, one can make one I understand but am having a bit of a problem, I can't do it.
[22:25] <toottut> daftykins: this shouldn't be corrupted dl file, yes?
[22:25] <daftykins> huh?
[22:25] <daftykins> i don't understand what you're asking
[22:25] <wilee-nilee> copy=backup here
[22:25] <toottut> sorry, i meant this isn't the cause of corrupted dl file is it?
[22:26] <daftykins> toottut: what's the cause of a corrupted - DLL? Windows DLL? i really have no idea what you mean
[22:27] <daftykins> wilee-nilee: are you dd'ing it to disk and it's getting stuck at the exact same point?
[22:27] <pvl1> wilee-nilee: pm me
[22:27] <wilee-nilee> daftykins, No just trying via brasero to start with, with libdvdcss2 loaded to run it.
[22:27] <Timmy> what will happen if campaign don't receive enough funds?
[22:28] <daftykins> !touch | Timmy
[22:28] <wilee-nilee> daftykins, I did try a dd and it did not work, but I'm not up on dd
[22:28] <tripelb> i wanted a partition list. Did info fdisk to learn. but >fdisk -l /dev/sda  answered with  cannot open /dev/sda  --- what do i say to get a list?
[22:28] <daftykins> wilee-nilee: did it terminate at a given spot? could be ARCCoS
[22:29] <pvl1> tripelb: sudo
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  newer dvd released in the last few years - CAN have exctra copy protection that prevents DD from copying them
[22:29] <daftykins> tripelb: 'sudo fdisk -l' with no further parameters will do fine
[22:29] <wilee-nilee> daftykins, I forget, I should be doing this in linux though, Im in MS now so I will ask again later.
[22:30] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, I think that is the problem a brand new barely old release.
[22:30] <tux_> hey
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  -  I had to resort to useing wine and 'dvdfab' to copy some newer disks
[22:30] <tripelb> sudo I COULD HAVE HAD A V8 + THONK
[22:30] <tux_> my shity system keeps shuting down after 10 minutes or so
[22:30] <daftykins> wilee-nilee: surely the objective is all you care about?
[22:30] <norma> hola
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  i have new dvd movies that  i legally bought. that i cant play on my PC (wndiows or linux) or even in a real (old) dvd player. I have to use the new blueray player
[22:30] <tux_> but it goes into sleep mode or something
[22:30] <tux_> how can I change that?
[22:30] <wilee-nilee> daftykins, Yeah, bu my memory is faulty is all.
[22:30] <wilee-nilee> but*
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  i ended up using dvdfab to rip/image/deprotect the disk to make a copy i could watch in the dvd player
[22:31] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, Looking at that right now thanks. ;)
[22:32] <Loshki> wilee-nilee: dvdbackup or vobcopy may work. The ultimate ripper is probably windows Anydvd
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  i also wrote a rather nasty review about it on amazon ;) you wouldent think 'The Love Boat Season 1' would need such drastic copy protection..
[22:32] <daftykins> wilee-nilee: DVD decrypter under Windows is worth a try ofc
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> wilee-nilee:  dvdfab does work in wine. ;) or at least it used to. not tried the others.
[22:32] <tux_> HEY my god damn system goes to sleep after 10 minutes or so, how can I change that?
[22:32] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, Heh, TMI. ;)
[22:33] <wilee-nilee> That was a funny show though
[22:33] <pvl1> tux_: what system
[22:33] <tux_> slitaz
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> wife wanted it.. it was $10 on sale.. she couldent watch it 'legally' without me jumping through hoops.
[22:33] <wilee-nilee> daftykins, Thanks I will check it out.
[22:34] <wilee-nilee> Dr_Willis, That is certainly a motivator, harmony.
[22:34] <Vivekananda> blazemore: thanks got it working . Another funny thing. Ctrl+a is not working on my guest ubuntu
[22:34] <pvl1> tux_: this is n ubuntu support channel
[22:34] <Vivekananda> ooo I guess the right ctrl wont work right ?
[22:34] <tux_> who cares, just suggest something
[22:34] <tripelb> Dr_Willis: et  al. ok all my partitions are there on fdisk. >mount does not list them at all... only stui like proc sysfs udev devpts ... so what about my sda1..6 (it does list /dev/sda5 which is the ubuntu partition.
[22:34] <pvl1> tux_: see whats putting it to sleep in the logs
[22:35] <tux_> hm
[22:35] <alexis_> Bonjour
[22:35] <MotherMGA> Hello, I've been trying to track down an issue with Chromium + Flash in Ubuntu 13.04.  Basically, flash will render  and then it will black out, or display various artifacts, making flash unusable.  Does anyone know about this?
[22:36] <pvl1> MotherMGA: how did you install and enable flash
[22:36] <syn-ack> I'm sure the forums might?
[22:36] <tsongki> tux_  have you change your setting in power under system settings
[22:36] <proxypirate> hey guys i am trying to update all of my installed ports when i ran into a few errors, i was able to fix the errors from ruby-gems but now i have run into a build error with "libstreams" and i am not sure exactly how to fix this error, can someone look at this pastebin i have uploaded and see if you might know how to resolve this problem: http://pastebin.com/izjZFnUD
[22:36] <proxypirate> http://pastebin.com/izjZFnUD
[22:36] <proxypirate> oops
[22:36] <tripelb> blazemore: thanks. i just saw yr fdisk suggestion (had to think it up on my own. now we are in synch ): et  al. ok all my partitions are there on fdisk. >mount does not list them at all... only stui like proc sysfs udev devpts ... so what about my sda1..6 (it does list /dev/sda5 which is the ubuntu partition.
[22:36] <MotherMGA> pvl1: I installed the adobe flash plugin from the software center
[22:36] <proxypirate> the only thing i can think of is possibly deinstalling the libstreams package from ports and then try and update the ports again with portmaster...?
[22:37] <MotherMGA> pvl1: I think that is only firefox though. I don't think I've configured anything for chromium.
[22:38] <daftykins> proxypirate: wouldn't reading the error about xterm and looking it up be the best plan first?
[22:38] <pvl1> MotherMGA: moment
[22:39] <mac> hello.. can someone please explain to me, what is kworker/0:0 (and other numbers) ?
[22:39] <proxypirate> daftykins: i didnt see any error about xterm?...
[22:39] <daftykins> proxypirate: see line 42
[22:40] <daftykins> proxypirate: actually maybe that one's just informational
[22:40] <proxypirate> hmmm...ya i dont think thats an actual error
[22:40] <daftykins> maybe just try the suggestion it makes then, yeah
[22:40] <proxypirate> and i set my locale to UTF-8 with EXPORT for the time being while i build the packages
[22:40] <pvl1> MotherMGA: http://goo.gl/yTrk
[22:41] <daftykins> though uh - you realise this is an ubuntu support channel and you seem to be talking about freebsd? ;x
[22:41] <proxypirate> oh wow...shit i am so sorry!
[22:41] <daftykins> XD
[22:41] <proxypirate> haha i thought i was posting this in #freebsd
[22:41] <proxypirate> haha!
[22:41] <daftykins> i did kinda wonder wth ports was
[22:42] <mac> hello.. can someone please explain to me, what is kworker/0:1 (and other numbers) ?

[22:43] <pvl1> no problem
[22:43] <tsongki> hey guys i am just experimenting with my gparted live and totally messed my whole hdd. Can you suggests any good reference site or forum for study
[22:43] <MotherMGA> pvl1: I did as the instructions said. now its... different. but still broken.
[22:44] <pvl1> MotherMGA: it still goes black
[22:44] <pvl1> ?
[22:44] <MotherMGA> pvl1: its different every time I refresh, but most of the time it goes black
[22:45] <pvl1> MotherMGA: did u kill all instances of chromeium
[22:45] <MotherMGA> pvl1: all chromium-browser processes are stopped, yeah
[22:45] <tripelb> summary: fdisk sees all. size adjusted soi can work diskutility graphically. now other partitions show up in sidebar -- bit all look alike (damn icons) till i click. THANK YOU MASTERS dr_
[22:46] <pvl1> i gotta bounce, google around
[22:47] <Marlene_k> pvl1 : aptitude always get error
[22:47] <tripelb> et al dr_nowgone blazemore gotwig pvl1  daftykins et al i admire you and want to learn more linux
[22:47] <MotherMGA> pvl1: chrome://plugins says I'm still on adobe flash player, but there are two versions http://i.imgur.com/o9Xe31w.png
[22:48] <daftykins> tripelb: do it! :)
[22:48] <MotherMGA> pvl1: disabling the original version doesn't help
[22:50] <tripelb> thanks any book or site suggestions?  signed mistress belgian (the beer, i am usa) triple bier
[22:50] <tripelb> daftykins: one cimment up
[22:50] <blazemore> !fstab | tripelb
[22:50] <MotherMGA> pvl1: also, the instructions you had me do just ended up with me copying the same plugin that was already running into the plugin directory and running that.
[22:51] <MotherMGA> pvl1: I think its erroneous or outdated.
[22:51] <MotherMGA> pvl1: yeah, that article was from 2009.
[22:51] <daftykins> tripelb: erm i just forced myself to use it for a bit, or set myself tasks like create a web server basically. i love command line too so that helped
[22:55] <tripelb> blazemore: fstab shows only the ubuntu part and swap.   even tho the windowd partitions are mounted and accessible to gui               >cannot get to to erase text>damfon>shows
[22:56] <tripelb> blazemore: just telling you cause it seems paradoxical.
[22:56] <daftykins> tripelb: that's because fstab is for permanent mounts. you could edit it and add your drives so they're all permanently mounted at /media/oneofthosewindowsdrives/
[22:56] <tripelb> b
[22:56] <daftykins> tripelb: just mounting once doesn't automagically edit fstab y'see
