[00:02] <geekmasterflash> GuybrushThreepwo, Can you also give me a pastebin of the PSCX2 log (the white window that opens when you open the program)?
[00:02] <hitsujiTMO> GuybrushThreepwo: can you: hexdump -n 32 IOPRP300.IMG | pastebinit
[00:03] <reisio> apparently it's a "PS2" "IMG"
[00:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6481797/
[00:03] <reisio> you'd think something designed to emulate a PS2 would grok such a thing
[00:03] <reisio> anyways, that means it's probably not the kind of "img" things that convert from "img" to "iso" are thinking of
[00:03] <reisio> but easily tested
[00:04] <hitsujiTMO> reisio: its certainly not iso9660 anyhow
[00:04] <GuybrushThreepwo> http://i.imgur.com/v3essZ1.png
[00:04] <GuybrushThreepwo> dont know how to copy paste the log
[00:04] <daftykins> reisio: hey, you had much exposure to nvidia optimus setups?
[00:05] <yeyeman> ubuntu not let me format and rename my usb
[00:05] <reisio> hitsujiTMO: fo' sho
[00:05] <reisio> daftykins: nope
[00:05] <vipintruder> unmount it first.
[00:05] <yeyeman> how to do it?
[00:06] <reisio> daftykins: two chips one screen
[00:06] <daftykins> yeyeman: have you tried #ubuntu-fi ?
[00:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> the folder with this particular IMG file has some other files too
[00:06] <reisio> yeyeman: right click it in file manager
[00:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> .IRX files
[00:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> and a folder that says PAD2
[00:06] <daftykins> reisio: yeah me and a friend own the setups, just i haven't touched Linux on mine much
[00:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> which has another IRX file
[00:06] <reisio> GuybrushThreepwo: #pcsx2 ?
[00:06] <yeyeman> reisio, and then what?
[00:06] <reisio> yeyeman: pick an option
[00:06] <reisio> eject/unmount
[00:07] <reisio> format if you see it
[00:07] <yeyeman> daftykins, sorry I don't speak finnish
[00:07] <yeyeman> reisio, but that is what is not working, nothing happens.
[00:07] <reisio> yeyeman: what do you expect to happen?
[00:07] <yeyeman> reisio, I can eject it, but that's about it
[00:07] <daftykins> yeyeman: ah you just joined from a .fi was all
[00:07] <yeyeman> reisio, I expect it to get formatted and renamed
[00:08] <reisio> yeyeman: format it after you eject it
[00:09] <bennypr0fane> hello, does anyone know how to mount a WebDAV network share in Thunar file manager in Xubuntu?
[00:09] <vipintruder> yeyman: open a terminal a type: palimpsest and find the usb device and unmount it.
[00:10] <yeyeman> it does not work.
[00:10] <vipintruder> with palimpsest you can to format it too (first unmount it).
[00:10] <xirre_> How can I set a limit on how many MB a folder can store? Any program available for that? I can't find one.
[00:11] <bekks> xirre_: Thats called "quota" and is designed to work for filesystems.
[00:12] <yeyeman> funny, windows let me format it easily with no probs
[00:12] <reisio> yeyeman: that is funny
[00:12]  * reisio laughs
[00:12] <daftykins> wait 'til you hear about that one with the partitioning
[00:13] <xirre_> bekks: So, I should run sudo apt-get install quota?
[00:13] <bekks> xirre_: No, tahst not what I said.
[00:14] <daftykins> xirre_: there are plenty of google results for 'ubuntu disk quotas'
[00:14] <xirre_> http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_quota.htm
[00:14] <daftykins> give 'em a try
[00:14] <xirre_> I already googled just now.
[00:14] <xirre_> Lol.
[00:14] <daftykins> well go you!
[00:14] <xirre_> :)
[00:14] <xirre_> So, should I install quota? Orr.. Is this not what I need?
[00:14] <Gabboz> xirre_, seriously, get some reading done then ask for help if you still need it
[00:15] <bekks> xirre_: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/07/disk-quota/
[00:15] <yeyeman> reisio, don't get mad because win is easier
[00:15] <xirre_> Thanks, bekks. Going to read up.
[00:15] <daftykins> yeyeman: enough of that thanks
[00:16] <yeyeman> take it easy  I was just kidding

[00:51] <phong_> is there such as compiz for ubuntu?
[00:51] <phong_> after installing 13.10 i don't see compiz
[00:54] <geekmasterflash> phong_, Compiz should be there by default on gnome or unity
[00:55] <geekmasterflash> phong_, It might not be if you don't have hardware acceleration
[00:55] <phong_> i have GTX 580
[00:55] <geekmasterflash> phong_, What happens when you put glxgears into command line?
[00:55] <phong_> very power
[00:55] <phong_> The program 'glxgears' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
[00:55] <phong_> sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[00:55] <geekmasterflash> phong_, Be that as it may, if it's not configured properly it's not working
[00:55] <geekmasterflash> phong_, please install and try again
[00:56] <gygis> hello
[00:56] <zykotick9> geekmasterflash: compiz would be there for unity, but gnome uses mutter by default
[00:56] <phong_> geekmasterflash, 302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.271 FPS

[00:57] <phong_> with lastest nvidia
[00:57] <phong_> with lastest nvidia driver installed
[00:57] <geekmasterflash> phong_, I am not disparing your card, I am asking if it's properly configured.
[00:57] <phong_> how to configure in terminal?
[00:59] <geekmasterflash> phong_, what happens when you run sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[01:00] <phong_> i use synaptic package manager
[01:00] <phong_> i do search for compiz

[01:23] <nafg__________> Hello
[01:24] <nafg__________> Hello
[01:24] <daftykins> hi nafg
[01:24] <nafg__________> Is it possible to make a startup script that is interactive/
[01:24] <nafg__________> running as root
[01:24] <daftykins> what are you *really* trying to do?
[01:24] <nafg__________> Okay, that will be a bit longer :)
[01:25] <daftykins> ^_^
[01:25] <hylian> hello all
[01:25] <daftykins> hi
[01:25] <nafg__________> we want to create a lot of these kiosks, based on ubuntu. I want the installation to be completely automated. But the hostname has to be specified manually.
[01:26] <nafg__________> I am preseeding Ubiquity and I couldn't get it to ask just the hostname.
[01:26] <nafg__________> So my current approach is this: the installer is automated, so the hostname gets the default value.
[01:27] <nafg__________> On first login, via xsession.d/, the user is prompted for the hostname via zenity. sudoers allows running the subroutine script, which sets the hostname
[01:27] <daftykins> nafg__________: have you looked into providing the hostname with DHCP?
[01:28] <nafg__________> daftykins: no, how would that work?
[01:28] <nafg__________> And, does the installer need any customization to make that happen?
[01:28] <nafg__________> daftykins: Would that be a one-time thing?
[01:28] <nafg__________> Because we don't have control over the network where they would actually be used
[01:29] <daftykins> oh i see =/
[01:29] <daftykins> i guess that might be out of the question then - not even a laptop, switch and some cables?
[01:29] <nafg__________> too expensive methinks --- one per installation?
[01:29] <nafg__________> we're not a business really, more a charity organization
[01:30] <nafg__________> trying to keep the cost down
[01:30] <hylian> exactly what are you trying to accomplish nafg__________, daftykins?? maybe a third perspective could help..??
[01:30] <nafg__________> Once it has a hostname, it gets most of the configuration via ansible
[01:30] <nafg__________> Hi hylian
[01:30] <daftykins> nafg__________: oh do you work for a sort of PC reconditioning charity and have clashing issues setting up multiple at once?
[01:30] <hylian> hello nafg__________
[01:31] <nafg__________> Did you read all my messages? daftykins asked me exactly that and i explained
[01:31] <nafg__________> daftykins: i didn't understand
[01:31] <daftykins> hylian: yeah do you have scrollback?
[01:31] <hylian> nafg__________: sorry, I just logged in a minute ago
[01:32] <nafg__________> btw apologies for the underscores, not sure what happened. quassel won't start so i'm using webchat.freenode.net and that's what it gave me
[01:32] <aaabbcc> hitsujiTMO, it was the nouveau driver, I installed the proprietary NVidia drivers and now it works fine
[01:32] <hylian> daftykins: i am using irssi. i think it has some scrollback capabilities.
[01:32] <aaabbcc> except I can't get the 3rd monitor to work
[01:33] <nafg__________> huh?
[01:33] <hylian> nafg__________: no problem, just using irssi's tab key to auto complete.
[01:33] <hylian> nafg__________: why do you have to set the hostname? are these going to be networked together somehow?
[01:33] <nafg__________> sorry i was just wondering why it said i joined again
[01:34] <nafg__________> hylian: mainly for ansible
[01:34] <nafg__________> identification
[01:34] <cobolfoo> Hello everyone, I am working with ParticleEffect class and realized that emitters update is not frame-rate independant. This is a known issue?
[01:34] <daftykins> hylian: i believe it's for installing en masse
[01:34] <cobolfoo> wrong channel :~
[01:35] <nafg__________> daftykins: hylian: right, we need the ansible configuration files to be able to distinguish between kiosks
[01:35] <stormdream> is it normal to acess /~root in the broswer even with UserDir disabled?
[01:37] <hylian> nafg__________ daftykins i get it, then dhcp assigned hostnames wont work because you are going to want to keep that information available. I am assuming so you can make changes to the machine via the net? i.e. these machines will be spread in locations around a large area, right?
[01:37] <nafg__________> hylian: Precisely
[01:39] <daftykins> hylian: sorry i don't follow how the DHCP method prevents availability - however nafg__________ said this may not be available due to lack of control of the network so it's probably worth ignoring anywho
[01:39] <nafg__________> To be clear, my current approach is workable, but it's less than ideal
[01:40] <hylian> nafg__________: and you don't want to baby sit the installation of every machine you set up. That's a tough one. Personally I would want to ghost one completed machine and then change the hostname afterwards, because ghost is by far faster than installation... that's just me though.
[01:41] <daftykins> hylian: ah that's true, in fact i've just dd'd from one disk to another before to speed up deployment
[01:41] <nafg__________> hylian: at this point that's not such a huge improvement, since i already have the installation completely noninteractive.
[01:41] <nafg__________> hylian: the question is the best way to deal  with setting the hostname post-installation
[01:41] <hylian> daftykins: exactly, because a ghosted machine will have the install, the updates, and all the installed software. that's the way i would go.
[01:42] <nafg__________> hylian: Currently you have to first log in as the default user, then you get prompted for the new hostname
[01:42] <hylian> nafg__________: well this is for fedora, but it makes it pretty easy to change the hostname post-installation. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=74920
[01:42] <nafg__________> hylian: and that requires some custom sudoers settings
[01:43] <hylian> nafg__________: i see you issue... I have to think about that one.
[01:44] <nafg__________> hylian: yes ubuntu is different
[01:44] <nafg__________> hylian: But again, I have the process of prompting/setting the hostname automated
[01:45] <jerryl> hi room..
[01:45] <nafg__________> already
[01:45] <hylian> nafg__________: sorry about that... I sometimes forget that "Linux isn't always Linux"..
[01:45] <Danato> zykotick9: are you there?
[01:45] <nafg__________> That is not the issue
[01:45] <nafg__________> There's a reason the fanatics insist on calling it GNU/Linux :)
[01:45] <jerryl> sorry to barge in but no one is talking in other linux rooms and i am stressed.
[01:45] <nafg__________> The issue is, as I asked before, how to run this script before login.
[01:46] <hylian> jerryl: ask you question, and someone will try and answer you.
[01:46] <hylian> nafg__________: let me do some diggin on that.
[01:47] <jerryl> i have a AAS of electronics, my work says they will pay for school for me to further my electronics but:
[01:47] <nafg__________> hylian: I've tried using the lightdm session-greeter-script setting but it didn't work
[01:47] <Danato> somehow im getting prompted to enter my password to a login keyring right after I login, it says that it ddnt unlock on the login
[01:47] <xangua> Danato: did you enabled automatic login¿
[01:48] <hylian> nafg__________: i am assuming you want to run the script before the first log in, i.e. just after it is installed?
[01:48] <jerryl> trade school for electronics has been telling me try signing up next quarter for school for my BS , then:
[01:48] <Danato> xangua: they told me to disable it yesterday and i did, now i booted up and i still get it
[01:49] <jerryl> should i go to regular state collage and start all over? i am almost 40.
[01:49] <xangua> !ot | jerryl
[01:49] <hylian> sorry nafg, i was just figuring this out...
[01:50] <Danato> xangua: btw its been happening since always, so I thought it was the same for everyone, I came here asking what is that for
[01:50] <hylian> jerryl: i don't think i understand you question.
[01:51] <nafg_> hylian: daftykins: hi, whew I got rid of those underscored finally!
[01:51] <daftykins> ^_^
[01:52] <hylian> daftykins: sorry man, I didn't mean to butt in. I would have suggested adding the command to /etc/rc.local, but i think he wanted that script to only run once.
[01:52] <daftykins> nafg_: i'm liking hylian's approach to recommend just disk imaging etc
[01:52] <daftykins> hylian: no please feel free, i don't think i had anything for this one
[01:52] <jerryl> i want a BS degree or masters degree in anything but i might have to start all over think i should if i am 35~40
[01:52] <hunn> i cant boot from live usb. i am able to get in bios and under boot device priority i see windows bppt manager as boot option 1
[01:53] <hylian> jerryl: my friend re-started college, and a lot of his old tech school credits counted.
[01:53] <jerryl> already asked only max of 13 credits accepted.
[01:53] <nafg_> daftykins: I don't see how it relates to my issue at all.
[01:54] <jerryl> i dont think 13 max is worth the $30K.
[01:54] <nafg_> daftykins: After all, I have customized the installer so that it runs whatever scripts I want.
[01:54] <hylian> jerryl: yeah, not all of his creds "applied". I remember that too. Personally you won't catch me in a college. too expensive, and too long. The tech is good enough for me.
[01:54] <nafg_> That isn't the question, the question is what scripts to write
[01:54] <hylian> nafg_: ohhh... oops. :)
[01:55] <jerryl> hy you mean like a deg from a trade school or uniion job skilled?
[01:55] <Mississauga> recently came to 12.04 from windows, seems to be working out, my mobo has built in VGA to that I have 1 display, I want to disable that and plug a video card but am afraid to, do I install some drivers before putting card in or vice versa? Its nVidia Geforce GT610 and will run 2 displays. The card came with windows drivers only
[01:56] <hylian> I remember changing /etc/hostname but it requires a restart to change
[01:56] <jerryl> 12.04 should be PLUGPLAY for that card.
[01:56] <hylian> nafg_: I remember changing /etc/hostname but it requires a restart to change
[01:57] <Mississauga> so I plug the new card, change BIOS to disable built in video, thats all?
[01:57] <vocx> Mississauga, I would not disable the old VGA
[01:57] <geekmasterflash> Mississauga, you might want to grab the nvidia driver
[01:57] <nafg_> hylian: Sorry i'm not sure what wasn't clear, but that is not the issue! I already have a working script  that changes the hostname!
[01:57] <jerryl> should not need to disable, bios should auto detect
[01:58] <Mississauga> nvidia driver for ubuntu? how do I install that?
[01:58] <nafg_> The question is *how to run that interactive script without requiring logging in to a default username*
[01:58] <geekmasterflash> Mississauga, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (or nvidia-319 if you are feeling saucy)
[01:58] <jerryl> ubu should have a popup saying please install this nonshareclosedminded driver/
[01:58] <Mississauga> I do that before plugging new card?
[01:59] <geekmasterflash> Mississauga, After
[01:59] <hylian> nafg_: add your script to /etc/rc.local bash /path/to/script/script.sh i.e. su -c `bash /path/to/script/script.sh` (username)..
[01:59] <Mississauga> so I plug the new card, then do the sudo... stuff?
[01:59] <jerryl> with poweroff install card following all ESD saftey and then power up and boot into ubu12
[02:00] <Mississauga> ok, ty
[02:00] <nafg_> hylian: don't need su, it should run as root
[02:00] <hylian> nafg_: i stole that from a wiki, but it works. (used to start a minecraft server every boot.)
[02:00] <nafg_> hylian: but can that be interactive?
[02:00] <jerryl> watching Supernatural and dranking vodka and coke.
[02:01] <hylian> nafg_: good question. I am not good enough at bash scripting to 100% know that answer, but I would think the answer is yes...
[02:02] <jerryl> tech school has called 2 times for me to sign papers for me to continue from AS degree of Electronics to projectmanagment BS dgree for another $70K ish
[02:03] <hunn> how do i make my usb bootable when under boot device priority is wibows manager
[02:03] <hylian> nafg_: i know of several distro's that have similar scripts running, and they wait for a response, so I would say yes. in particular inx is not X (that's the name of the distro)
[02:04] <jerryl> hu use a newer ver of os for that MS secure boott.
[02:04] <daftykins> hunn: typically there is a key which allows a boot menu to be presented, or sometimes on the save and exit page of the BIOS there's a boot override menu for a one-time choice
[02:04] <jerryl> disable ;\ in bios secure boot
[02:05] <jerryl> i used new compatable OSs and win8 secure boot
[02:05] <hylian> jerryl: it liquifies down to 3 questions. 1) do i need this 2) can I handle the extra debt 3) can i motivate myself to complete the course. can't help you anymore than that, only you can answer those questions.
[02:05] <hunn> disable secure boot?
[02:05] <jerryl> hy thanks EXECLEENT.
[02:06] <hunn> or edit the cobfig
[02:06] <hunn> config
[02:06] <hylian> nafg_: i listed that command wrong. su (username) -c '/bin/bash /path/to/script/script.sh &'
[02:06] <nafg_> hylian: what is the su for? I need it to run as root
[02:07] <jerryl> hy work work said they will pay for more electronics and nothing else so then i am stuck with starting all over at almost 40 for a real collage.
[02:07] <hylian> nafg_: oops
[02:08] <daftykins> hunn: just start by changing the boot order, don't worry about the other suggestions for now
[02:08] <hylian> nafg_: i think this is what you really need. very well documented. http://askubuntu.com/questions/156771/run-a-script-only-at-the-very-first-boot
[02:09] <jerryl> daft i had a hard time with the multi win8 ubuntu/puppy/cent boot.
[02:09] <hunn> daftykins under boot i see boot device priority
[02:09] <hylian> well all, nova is on. I am going to watch it. Good night.
[02:09] <daftykins> hunn: right...
[02:09] <jerryl> plugin flash drive first then turn laptop on and flashdrive should be in boot options.
[02:10] <hunn> boot option is onlu windows booy manager or disable
[02:10] <daftykins> hunn: sometimes there is a 'primary hard disk' option?
[02:10] <hunn> roasted
[02:10] <daftykins> hunn: or is there another boot entry which you can move up and down?
[02:10] <hunn> says only; windows boot manager or disable

[02:13] <hunn> idk why its backwards
[02:13] <daftykins> hunn: ah, is there a view on the 'Boot' page before that which has more options visible?
[02:13] <geekmasterflash> hunn, Have you disabled fast boot like is suggests?
[02:14] <geekmasterflash> hunn, Sorry, fast bios mode*

[02:15] <daftykins> right, you lot stop damn well guessing
[02:15] <daftykins> you're horrifying me.
[02:15] <geekmasterflash> jerryl, If he's got UEFI resetting bios could mean not being able to boot
[02:15] <geekmasterflash> jerryl, Please don't suggest that lightly.

[02:17] <hunn> oh! ok
[02:17] <daftykins> hunn: then power off, power back on and double check if anything on the Boot page there changes

[02:37] <hunn> maybe it will help

[02:38] <daftykins> hunn: which version are you putting on - and which program to do it btw?
[02:40] <nafg_> I just tried adding a `read` in /etc/rc.local, and it doesn't work.
[02:40] <hunn> lts
[02:41] <daftykins> hunn: 12.04.3 image?
[02:42] <hunn> http://tinypic.com/r/23syzkg/5
[02:43] <daftykins> okie dokie nothing to set there
[02:43] <acolytetojippity> Quick question, opinion type thing.  If i need to scan a windows XP machine, and i want to use linux to scan the XP hard drives, so we can transfer data off.  USB boot is questionable, the PC might be too old.  So most likely a LIVECD is what we'll have to use.  Is Ubuntu or another 'buntu' flavor a good choice, or should i be looking into a different distro?
[02:43] <hunn> http://tinypic.com/r/2v2zclw/5
[02:43] <hunn> 12.04lts
[02:44] <daftykins> acolytetojippity: write to a DVD if you can
[02:44] <hunn> wait dafty
[02:44] <hunn> under boot overdrive i see uefi
[02:45] <hunn> uefi sandisk and another says sandisk
[02:45] <hunn> my pendrive
[02:45] <geekmasterflash> hunn, Huzzah
[02:45] <daftykins> hunn: which page is that sorry?
[02:45] <hunn> on boot and on exit as well
[02:45] <daftykins> hunn: so do you have Windows 8 on there right now? what's the plan, just Ubuntu or both side by side?
[02:46] <hunn> just windows 8 on here. i want to try ubuntu on this and if i like it. i will probably replace or side it if possible
[02:46] <acolytetojippity> @daftykins liveDVD might be possible.  i still would need to pick a distro.  i know that's a bit odd to ask in the 'buntu channel, but i figured someone might be able to give me a non-biased reccomendation.
[02:47] <acolytetojippity> i would love to use ubuntu, but is there any that would be more beneficial?
[02:47] <daftykins> hunn: ok well just press enter on the exit screen's entry, it doesn't matter whether UEFI or not until you're ready to install
[02:47] <hunn> do i boot sandisk or uefi sandisk
[02:47] <hunn> oh ok
[02:47] <daftykins> !uefi | hunn
[02:47] <daftykins> hunn: give that a read for when you're ready
[02:49] <hunn> it booted fast
[02:49] <hunn> thanks
[02:50] <daftykins> hunn: no problem :) looks like re-doing the drive sorted it for you though, so you solved it yourself? :D
[02:50] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, You might notice that there are a bunch of derivatives of ubuntu to me that shows some use.
[02:51] <hunn> i feel like my tech skills went up 0.01 percent :)
[02:52] <daftykins> hunn: :D
[02:53] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: any sugestions?  i'd prefer to operate witha gui, if possible
[02:53] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, with or without a gui
[02:53] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: *with a gui.   my bad
[02:54] <Beldar> most have both options acolytetojippity
[02:54] <Beldar> most linux
[02:54] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, Is this a server need I did not see all of your posts?
[02:55] <daftykins> acolytetojippity: ultimately for backing up data, anything will do
[02:56] <linuxlite1969> hi
[02:56] <daftykins> hi
[02:58] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: daftykins  not a server, its a home PC.  it can't run AV natively due to malware, and it can't even re-install windows (or boot to windows recovery disc for some reason...idk.  dad refuses to post to bleeping computer)
[02:58] <rypervenche> acolytetojippity: Check your private message.
[02:58] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, I'd use the livecd and clam-av
[03:02] <daftykins> acolytetojippity: if it's XP it only has until April anyway ;)
[03:03] <acolytetojippity> its been unusable for months due to malware
[03:03] <Danato> acolytetojippity: if your goal is to transfer files from the hard drive to another place, ubuntu live cd will work well
[03:04] <acolytetojippity> daftykins:  and my dad recently build a 7 gaming rig.  we just need to get the data and stuff off the XP machine
[03:04] <acolytetojippity> Danato: like i said, i need to also AV scan them.  its a sick, sick machine.
[03:04] <daftykins> acolytetojippity: is it a case that it's got a PATA (IDE) drive and there's no way to slave it to the newer 7 system?
[03:05] <Danato> acolytetojippity: if its that sick id rather recommend you to just backup those files and reinstall windows xp
[03:05] <acolytetojippity> daftykins: possibly.  the issue is more the malware.  we can't have it infect the 7 machine, since this stuff seems to have screwed with the MBR a bt
[03:06] <acolytetojippity> Danato: can't.  dad tried, it refused to boot the xp disc, or a recovery disc from norton.
[03:06] <daftykins> if it's not the booting OS it won't be a danger
[03:06] <daftykins> acolytetojippity: is it blocking USB flash drive usage then did you say?
[03:06] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, Well any compromised OS should just have the image/clone reloaded anyway.
[03:06] <acolytetojippity> daftykins: oh it'll boot, but it won't boot from a xp or norton disc.  i could turn it on and get onto it right now if i wanted.
[03:07] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: can't.  it won't boot to the xp disc.  i can't re-image it.   plus i need to try and pull the data off.
[03:07] <daftykins> acolytetojippity: it's too clever for loading in safe mode and running malwarebytes then i take it?
[03:07] <daftykins> sorry if you've been through all of these thoughts
[03:07] <acolytetojippity> daftykins: not that i know of.  USB should still work, but i'm not sure its new enough to boot from USB
[03:07] <Danato> acolytetojippity: you could try to boot with a linux distro cd, if it boots, you can format the disk and install windows again safely
[03:07] <acolytetojippity> daftykins: yeah...safe mode won't boot.
[03:07] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, Have you tried making a LiveCD with clam-av on it?
[03:08] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, An image correctly taken would load to a wiped computer.
[03:08] <acolytetojippity> geekmasterflash: not yet.  i figured i should try to get some advice as to which distro to put on it first.  and we don't need to salvage the machine, we just need the data scanned and transferred
[03:09] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: i am assuming the offical XP disc is properly made...
[03:09] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, You know about the per-session boot right?
[03:09] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, I'd recommend a scan, just so you're not transferring potentially infected files.
[03:09] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: no, what is that?
[03:09] <acolytetojippity> geekmasterflash: i agree.  i was looking for advice on what distro to use for it, which would be the best to go about that.
[03:09] <minnieteddy> use a live distro on in and ftp the data to another machine
[03:10] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, A boot outside the bios a key prompt as if you going to the bios, mine is f12
[03:10] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, For this, really any distro would be fine. But I will say Ubuntu because I am here.
[03:10] <minnieteddy> what is the ha4rdware as that sometimes determines the distro
[03:10] <acolytetojippity> Beldar: hmmm, i don't know.  my dad has tried to manually boot it to the XP cd without success.
[03:11] <acolytetojippity> minnieteddy: old.  MSI K8T Neo mobo
[03:11] <daftykins> hehe
[03:11] <daftykins> smells like AMD Athlon64
[03:11] <minnieteddy> ok, years please as i am 43 and old is a relative term to me
[03:12] <vatsmonroe> hi guys, i need some help. Yesterday after lots of hours I was finally able to dual boot Ubuntu on to my computer :), it took me all day practically i was having a lot of trouble booting from a Flash Drive, but i finally did it. However today im having trouble installing a theme pack on it, to be precise the azenis theme pack, i was able to install the icons and all but im getting this error "E: Unable to locate package azenis-theme-pack" am i doing s
[03:12] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, I would be sure the disc is good and that this is the per-session boot, if it is a sata and there is no sata on the disc it will not get to ant communication to the install.
[03:12] <Beldar> any*
[03:12] <acolytetojippity> but anyway, this is a bit more than i was looking for.  i just wanted info on a good distro to use to boot in, scan shit, and get out.  clam-av seems to the be the way to go, and i think i'm  going past this chan's purpose with all the XP support.
[03:13] <acolytetojippity> minnieteddy: the machine is at least...i want to say 10 years old.
[03:13] <minnieteddy> vatsmonroe go into a terminal and sudo apt-get update, assuming the network connection is working
[03:13] <minnieteddy> Acolyte, backtrack linux ight be what you want
[03:13] <vatsmonroe> minnieteddy: It is running, and i did the update, however I still get the same message
[03:14] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, There is no such package as azenis-theme-pack, so you can't apt-get it
[03:14] <minnieteddy> do a dpkg -l on it and see what that says
[03:14] <daftykins> backtrack is long dead
[03:14] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, I presume that is what you tried, since your error looks like apt-get
[03:14] <acolytetojippity> minnieteddy: i was considering backtrack.  or, actually, the continuation Kali.
[03:15] <vatsmonroe> minnieteddy: yes thats what i thought so i changed the name to the actual package name and i still got the same message heres what im writting
[03:15] <vatsmonroe> sudo apt-get install azenis-theme-pack_0.0.3_all.tar.gz be patient im a noob on linux
[03:16] <minnieteddy> vats, tried looking it up using aptitude or synapyic?
[03:16] <minnieteddy> synaptic?
[03:16] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, http://tuxsax.deviantart.com/art/Azenis-Theme-Pack-0-2-130488330
[03:16] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, There, a .deb. Doesn't get much easier.
[03:16] <acolytetojippity> azenis has a repo...
[03:17] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, That he/she is obviously not joined
[03:17] <minnieteddy> Vats, a .tar.gz is not a .deb, tar xzvf will extract .tar.gz files
[03:17] <vatsmonroe> geekmasterflash: meaning :) ?
[03:17] <acolytetojippity> http://www.themelinux.com/linuxtheme/azenis-theme-pack/ mentions that sudo apt-get install azenis-theme-pack should work
[03:17] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, Meaning go to that link and download the .deb
[03:17] <Danato> acolytetojippity: it doesnt make much of a difference which distro you use, any gnu/linux live cd should do it, give ubuntu a try
[03:18] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, Then open it and it will install the theme for you.
[03:18] <vatsmonroe> yes thats the exact link i downloaded
[03:18] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, Ok, where did you download it to?
[03:18] <acolytetojippity> Danato: ok, thanks.   i use ubuntu on my laptop, but wasn't sure it would be the best fit for this
[03:18] <vatsmonroe> when i open it nothing happens it just sows me all the files
[03:18] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, Then you didn't download this file
[03:18] <vatsmonroe> well i actually extracted it to my desktop and try to do the sudo from there on the terminal
[03:18] <acolytetojippity> did you download the .deb, or the source?
[03:18] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, you said you have a zipped file
[03:18] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, I liked to a deb
[03:19] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, it should be a .deb file
[03:19] <geekmasterflash> not an archive.
[03:19] <vatsmonroe> yes on the link if you notice there are two links actually one containing a zip file and another one that is not working
[03:19] <Beldar> acolytetojippity, the key to that sudo install is this. "To ensure you always get the newest version please use our repository."
[03:20] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, I am looking at the .deb I just downloaded.
[03:20] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, So, I think you should try again cause it works for me
[03:20] <vatsmonroe> geekmasterflash: mmmmm the one that say Azenis theme source
[03:20] <ObrienDave> vatsmonroe, right click the .deb, open with software center
[03:20] <minnieteddy> geekmaster dpkg -i foobar.deb
[03:20] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, http://tuxsax.deviantart.com/art/Azenis-Theme-Pack-0-2-130488330
[03:21] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, .deb link is on the right
[03:21] <vatsmonroe> wow i feel dumb now
[03:21] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, Download that to home somewhere
[03:21] <minnieteddy> sorry geekmaster that was meant for vatsmonroe
[03:21] <acolytetojippity> vatsmonroe: i must know, what did you download? because i can't see any .zips on that page, at least not any obvious ones lol
[03:22] <Beldar> 3rd party apps are not supported here, take ot to private
[03:22] <Beldar> it*
[03:22] <axizor> hi, im new to smb, can someone tell me whats wrong with this syntax: smb://servername/user/sharepath
[03:22] <vatsmonroe> ill show you
[03:22] <geekmasterflash> axizor, Nothing obvious to me but it presumes the browser you are using can understand samba
[03:22] <vatsmonroe> http://www.themelinux.com/themes/azenis-theme-pack_0.0.3_all.tar.gz
[03:23] <maheanuu> IaOra to all, I  was recently given some new USB keys all 64 GB and none can be partitioned and formatted, I can see them on diskmanager, but fdisk gives me the following Error message
[03:23] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, If you want to use that tar ball go ahead, but the .deb I sent you will be easier.
[03:23] <axizor> can i replace "smb://" with the ip
[03:23] <xangua> vatsmonroe:  geekmasterflash that's a gtk2 theme, ubuntu uses gtk3
[03:23] <Beldar> maheanuu, try gparted
[03:24] <vatsmonroe> xangua: i was beggining to think that
[03:24] <maheanuu> Beldar, I have and all it sees is sda and sdb
[03:24] <vatsmonroe> yeap
[03:24] <Beldar> maheanuu, what is sdb?
[03:24] <vatsmonroe> package operation failed
[03:24] <acolytetojippity> vatsmonroe: yeah dude, use the .deb.  you said you're a noob to linux, so in this case imagine that .deb is a .exe that will install the theme for you, instead of you having to do a whole lot of stuff to get it working
[03:24] <axizor> anyone use android to stream videos from a samba server?
[03:24] <xangua> axizor: /join #android
[03:25] <axizor> good idea
[03:25] <vatsmonroe> acolytojippyty: yeap iam but it seems it is not compatible
[03:25] <vatsmonroe> im running ubuntu 13.10
[03:25] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, Okay, so yeah the issue is the theme you want to use is old
[03:25] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, wont work in 13.10. I don't see any more newly updated info for it
[03:26] <vatsmonroe> any ideas as to where i can find new themes such as azenis?
[03:26] <xangua> vatsmonroe: gnome-look.org
[03:26] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, I don't believe azenis is a new theme.
[03:26] <acolytetojippity> might...might it work with connamon?
[03:26] <geekmasterflash> vatsmonroe, The newest link I find for it is from 12.19
[03:26] <geekmasterflash> 12.10*
[03:26] <acolytetojippity> geekmasterflash: that question was for you
[03:26] <vatsmonroe> wow i must say all of you guys are great, i appreciate all the help, its nice to have someone helping you out
[03:26] <acolytetojippity> geekmasterflash: also i meant cinnamon.
[03:27] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, No idea, I have never used cinnamon
[03:27] <Disk1of5> hey all, i have a odd issue. i tried KDE by installing the kde-desktop packages.. i tried it for a bit then uninstalled it.. but i can't get back into unity.. lightdm just has a white background.. and when i log in i get a white screen with my cursor
[03:27] <acolytetojippity> geekmasterflash: or am i thinking mate?
[03:27] <linuxlite1969> hi im new to python
[03:27] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, MATE is like gnome2
[03:27] <maheanuu> Beldar,Another external hard disk of 500GB Sata
[03:27] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, In this case, the issue is needing gtk2
[03:27] <vatsmonroe> I guess ill keep checking out for themes ill try the gnome page see if i can come up with something, THANK'S AGAIN GUYS much  obliged!!!!
[03:28] <geekmasterflash> acolytetojippity, It might work, provided MATE uses gtk2
[03:28] <Beldar> maheanuu, Do you know what they were formatted as, if formated?
[03:28] <reisio> linuxlite1969: hi, me too
[03:28] <acolytetojippity> geekmasterflash: not sure if it does or not, but the azenis theme looks like a reskin for gnome2 so...i thought it might work
[03:28] <maheanuu> Beldar, no idea, I received them and they were blank
[03:29] <acolytetojippity> Disk1of5: when you log in/boot, there is just a white screen?
[03:29]  * geekmasterflash longs for the days of Gnome2 when he could put an image in the background of nautaulis
[03:29] <Beldar> maheanuu, how do you know if blank? what is the actual error you are getting form the disk manager?
[03:29] <maheanuu> Beldar, a friend bought them on his last visit to the US, and gave them to me, I have 4 or 5 all the same
[03:31] <maheanuu> BeldarNothing from disk manager I cannot do anything but see them, there is no way to do anything other than see that it is being inserted and "sdc"
[03:31] <acolytetojippity> maheanuu: do you happen to have a livecd of gParted lying around?
[03:32] <Beldar> maheanuu, Disk manager is a windows program right do you mean the app called disk?
[03:32] <maheanuu> No, and not sure how to set that up, am not a true newbie, but do need help
[03:33] <Payton> Hello i had a question i've been dieing to ask
[03:33] <daftykins> Payton: quick, type it!
[03:33] <maheanuu> Beldar, I meant disk util, pardon the mixup
[03:33] <Beldar> maheanuu, No meaning what I asked two questions, use nicks here you can tab complete them.
[03:33]  * geekmasterflash gets the difibulators in case Payton doesnt make it in time to ask
[03:33] <acolytetojippity> Payton: ak away
[03:34]  * acolytetojippity rolls eyes ar geek
[03:34] <Payton> Is there anyway to save ubuntu to a USB and revert back to win8 when i take the USB out?
[03:34] <acolytetojippity> *at
[03:34] <Beldar> maheanuu, Have you clicked the two little gear at the bottom left of the partition picture?
[03:34] <acolytetojippity> o.O
[03:34] <Payton> I'm a noob with ubuntu PC
[03:34] <acolytetojippity> Payton: you want to have plug-and-plau ubuntu you mean?
[03:34] <acolytetojippity> *play
[03:34] <Beldar> Payton, save what?
[03:34] <geekmasterflash> Payton, You can either install it to the usb driver, or use it as a liveUSB
[03:34] <geekmasterflash> Payton, Which where you wanting?
[03:35] <maheanuu> Beldar,  I didn't see that, brb, will open diskutil now
[03:35] <Beldar> Payton, You can'y do anything with W8 from ubuntu except delete or change the partitions.
[03:35] <Payton> acolytetojippity: yes
[03:36] <Payton> Beldar: ?
[03:36] <xangua> Payton: you can install ubuntu on a USB yes, but don't expect it to have a long life
[03:37] <Beldar> Payton, I asked a question and then made a statement be spefic on what you do not understand, you question is rather flawed to begin with.
[03:37] <xangua> !persistent | Payton
[03:37] <Payton> xangua: But could i revert back to windows8 when i want?
[03:37] <Payton> Don't rush me
[03:37] <Payton> .
[03:37] <xangua> Payton: yes, you can use the usb stick in any computer; ubuntu would be installed on it
[03:38] <vlad_starkov> Question: Just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit. On boot it freezes and shows "BUG: soft lockup - CPU stuck for 21s". Anyone know what is that?
[03:38] <Payton> xangua: would it change anything?
[03:38] <geekmasterflash> Payton, No one is rushing you. This is a channel with over a thousand users
[03:38] <asymm> ban me OP, i fucking dare u!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:38] <maheanuu> Beldar, all I have is format and remove drive controls and when I try to format the drive it gives me an error msg  "maheanuu@maheanuu-Satellite-S875:~$ sudo tail -c 0 -f /var/log/syslog

[03:38] <geekmasterflash> Payton, We are giving you the information you asked for
[03:38] <asymm> OP is a phaggot
[03:39] <somsip> !ops | asymm
[03:39] <maheanuu> Sorry about that, I surely did NOT mean to drop all that I meant only one small line
[03:39] <Beldar> maheanuu, You plugged in to a usb3 port?
[03:40] <nelsonsozinho> help
[03:40] <geekmasterflash> nelsonsozinho, With?
[03:42] <nelsonsozinho> Sorry, wrong window
[03:42] <acolytetojippity> Payton: you can install ubuntu to a USB drive.  you can then boot off of this drive, and use ubuntu.  when you are done, shut down the machine and pull the drive, then you can boot back into windows.  i don't thinkt here is anything that allows you to straight-up pull the drive while its in use and go right back to 8
[03:42] <Payton> acolytetojippity: but i can still revert to win8 when i restart right?
[03:42] <acolytetojippity> Payton: if you're worried about messing with your 8 install, i would recommend pulling the connector for that drive before installing ubuntu to the USB.  this eliminates any possibility of screwing up your 8 install
[03:43] <acolytetojippity> Payton: like i said, you shut down the PC while in ubuntu.  remove the drive.  then turn it back on.  the machine will go to windows8
[03:43] <ObrienDave> yes, one will not interfere with the other
[03:44] <Payton> acolytetojippity: Um, pull the drive out? Wouldn't it be running off of the USB though? and wouldn't that be slow?
[03:44] <ObrienDave> unless YOU do something really inappropriate. (meaning dumb)
[03:44] <geekmasterflash> Payton, Yes it would be slow... but isn't that what you are asking for?
[03:44] <geekmasterflash> Payton, To run it from USB
[03:45] <Payton> geekmasterflash: Yes but not for it to be slow.
[03:45] <Payton> geekmasterflash: I want to enjoy ubuntu too lol
[03:45] <geekmasterflash> Payton, Pick your poison then
[03:45] <geekmasterflash> Payton, USB will be slow.
[03:45] <Beldar> Payton, Run ubuntu in a virtual machine and have both.
[03:45] <geekmasterflash> Payton, Pretty much regardless.
[03:45] <humerusj_> Dual boot and have both
[03:46] <humerusj_> Live a little and partition your drive
[03:46] <acolytetojippity> Payton: you will be running ubuntu off of a USB driv e, yes.  to go back to windows 8, you would want to shut down and remove the drive (after the machine is off) then turn it back on and it will proceed to 8
[03:46] <Payton> humerusj_: That would take up disk space right?
[03:46] <humerusj_> Payton: of course
[03:47] <humerusj_> Everything will take up disk space
[03:47] <humerusj_> Especially a vm, which is sorta a waste
[03:47] <acolytetojippity> humerusj_: he wants to make sure it doesn't screw up 8...a valid concern if hes doing this stuff for the first time.  USB is a better option until ou get mroe comfortable
[03:47] <Payton> acolytetojippity: She*
[03:47] <Payton> acolytetojippity:  sorry
[03:47] <Beldar> Payton, I think the term revert is a brick wall here, what is your definition of revert?
[03:47] <acolytetojippity> Payton: my apologies, i meant no offence.
[03:47] <Payton> Beldar: Go Back
[03:47] <humerusj_> acolytetojippity: Does ubuntu have UEFI support?
[03:48] <geekmasterflash> humerusj_, Yes, but I hate it.
[03:48] <Payton> Beldar: Return
[03:48] <acolytetojippity> humerusj_: i know UEFI can screw up ubuntu installs, so...not sure
[03:48] <Payton> Beldar: ect
[03:48] <humerusj_> geekmasterflash: everyone hates it
[03:48] <humerusj_> Legacy for the win
[03:48] <geekmasterflash> humerusj_, UEFI and gpt have caused me no end of headaches
[03:49] <humerusj_> geekmasterflash: yup, there is truly no need for security at the boot level if you ask me
[03:49] <Beldar> Payton, bad syntax is all, not really a correct description.
[03:49] <acolytetojippity> Payton: there is no good way to instantly swap between the twoi, without using a virtual machine.  however, if restarting is acceptable, then running ubuntu off of a USB drive is a perfectly valid option.
[03:49] <geekmasterflash> humerusj_, sure there is. To convince people switching to Linux is too hard.
[03:49] <geekmasterflash> humerusj_, It was Microsoft that asked for it
[03:50] <Lupus> Hm, anyone here experienced with gparted??
[03:50] <Payton> acolytetojippity: Thanks that was all i need
[03:50] <humerusj_> geekmasterflash: it's all about the money
[03:50] <Payton> Lupus: Of course
[03:50] <acolytetojippity> Payton: no problem.  and, sorry about the "he" thing.
[03:50] <maheanuu> Beldar, pardon the tardiness, I flooded, and was muted and I know better, My mistake,
[03:50] <Beldar> geekmasterflash, Please keep the fud to yourself this is support
[03:50] <Payton> acolytetojippity: lol
[03:50] <Lupus> Beautiful. Can i expand a partition to the left?
[03:50] <Lupus> Ill post a screenshot in a sec
[03:51] <maheanuu> Beldar, and now if we can get back I will need to go to the Ubuntu copy and paste page (?) if I can remember it
[03:52] <acolytetojippity> maheanuu: link at top of page for the pastebin
[03:52] <rarsauce> Hey guys, everytime I setup ubuntu installed to a USB its *really* slow, everything stalls and lags out on me and freezes for sometimes 30+ seconds whenever I open it.
[03:52] <rarsauce> Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Its very not normal.
[03:52] <Payton> maheanuu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[03:52] <rarsauce> Also, this occurs on different USB sticks, booted from different computers, with the same lag.
[03:52] <Beldar> maheanuu, I wonder if you are plugging the usb's into a usb 3 port and this is part of the problem, missing drivers maybe, just a guess.
[03:53] <Beldar> maheanuu, Do you have a windows install to look at them with or apple?
[03:53] <humerusj_> It would be nice if everyone had access to a pxe system
[03:53] <Lupus> Payton - bit.ly/lbmFHEH is my gparted screenshot
[03:53] <Beldar> humerusj_, This is support not chat, it is busy here and the comments get in the way.
[03:54] <Lupus> I want to expand sda5 into that unallocated
[03:54] <humerusj_> Beldar: understood
[03:54] <Payton> Lupus: Page not found
[03:54] <humerusj_> I'll go anyway.
[03:54] <Lupus> Oh, oops...
[03:54] <THeNine> #sex
[03:54] <Beldar> Lupus, Has to be unmounted.
[03:54] <Lupus> Bit.ly/1bmFHEH
[03:55] <Lupus> Running off live usb
[03:55] <Lupus> So nothing is mounted
[03:55] <Beldar> Lupus, Swap unmounted, what is the actual issue?
[03:55] <rarsauce> Also, I should note that these USB installs are with a encrypted LVM from the alternate iso. I dont know if that would slow things down to a grinding halt like it does....
[03:55] <Beldar> Lupus, A screenshot of gparted would save time.
[03:55] <Lupus> Beldar, link above
[03:56] <Lupus> Bit.ly/1bmFHEH here as well
[03:57] <Beldar> Lupus, unmount the swap
[03:57] <Lupus> Is due to where they start?
[03:57] <Lupus> Select swapoff in gparted right click menu?
[03:57] <Lupus> Or terminal command?
[03:58] <maheanuu> Beldar, here is the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/6482502/
[03:58] <Beldar> Lupus, You have the partitions out of numerical order that is your problem
[03:58] <chicognu> i need help to install a scanner on ubunt 12.04 http://a1227.g.akamai.net/f/1227/40484/7d/download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/01/00/01/77/07/756b043f6ba33704c14a81b7bc30b46029c99d4b/epson-inkjet-printer-201204w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_i386.deb here is the link for the package
[03:59] <Lupus> Ah. So... Now what? Lol. The sda3 is an extended partition, does that effect?
[03:59] <vlad_starkov> Question: Is there any reason to choose Ubuntu 64bit?
[03:59] <chicognu> i need hel to isntall a scanner on ubuntu 12.04 here is the package: http://a1227.g.akamai.net/f/1227/40484/7d/download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/01/00/02/36/65/677c7c561d602375700f28051fb61e23194d6995/iscan_2.29.2-1~usb0.1.ltdl3_i386.deb
[03:59] <maheanuu> Beldar,I am not sure, let me try another port
[03:59] <Lupus> Chicognu, wait, its busy here.
[04:00] <Beldar> Lupus, You can't resize a partition higher than one above it in gparted anyway
[04:00] <xangua> vlad_starkov: if your hardware is 64bit, use 64bit
[04:00] <Lupus> So, i should just reinstall ubuntu into that larger partition?
[04:00] <chicognu> Lupus, no problem, i said it twice cuz i mistake on the first likk
[04:00] <Beldar> maheanuu, To be honest I'm not sure, to many varibles to go through.
[04:00] <vlad_starkov> xangua: Just installed 64bit on Xeon E5345 and while booting it freezes with message: "BUG: soft lockup - CPU stuck for"
[04:01] <Beldar> Lupus, I would clone all of that and get the partitions in correct numerical order.
[04:01] <maheanuu> Beldar, I just tried all the ports and the same thing happens
[04:01] <vlad_starkov> xangua: Is it possible that there is some incompatibles for 64bit architecture
[04:01] <Lupus> By doing what? Lol. Sorry dude, new to thia
[04:01] <Lupus> *this
[04:01] <Beldar> maheanuu, You have access to a MS or apple computer?
[04:02] <Beldar> Lupus, clone is as it sounds.
[04:02] <maheanuu> Beldar, I just tried all the ports and the same thing happens
[04:02] <Lupus> I see no clone option in gparted
[04:03] <Beldar> Lupus, Did not say it does.
[04:03] <somsip> chicognu: exactly what is the problem?
[04:03] <maheanuu>  Beldar, possibly but not in english,
[04:03] <chicognu> somsip, i think it is some dependency problem
[04:03] <maheanuu> Beldar, I have only Ubuntu and android here, nothing else except cubie
[04:03] <Lupus> Think i might just install into that free space
[04:04] <somsip> chicognu: best if you pastebin some output with details
[04:04] <Beldar> maheanuu, Not really sure here to be honest.
[04:05] <maheanuu> Beldar, give you a little idea of my level, I am a retired usn chief petty officer, electronics technician  and worked as a field engineer for sperry univac for the navy also then retired to Tahiti and have lived here for 37 years and am older than dirt
[04:05] <Beldar> Lupus, As long as you have your partitons out of numerical order looking at gparted from left to right you are going to have some problems.
[04:05] <alexandros_c> hello, I am running ubuntu gnome and I notices in my log that I am getting errors. After some research I found it was because /var/spool/rsyslog is missing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
[04:05] <Beldar> maheanuu, I turn 50 next year so, hehe
[04:05] <maheanuu> I will had them off to a friend on the next island over and see if he can format them ntfs for me
[04:06] <maheanuu> I am 75 last Mar &
[04:06] <chicognu> somsip, http://pastebin.com/LPVzHhcK
[04:06] <maheanuu> 7th dammit
[04:06] <Beldar> maheanuu, Good job you made it this far. ;)
[04:06] <Lupus> So Beldar, can i delete the old Ubuntu partition and reinstall into the unallocated space in the screenshot?
[04:07] <somsip> chicognu: and what happens when you try to install the missing package?
[04:07] <rarsauce> Hey guys, everytime I setup ubuntu installed to a USB its *really* slow, everything stalls and lags out on me and freezes for sometimes 30+ seconds whenever I open it.
[04:07] <maheanuu> I still work and learn, i will never quit...  Too much to keep up on and busy with to lay back and watch the world wobble off it's axis
[04:07] <Beldar> Lupus, not sure what you mean, all I can really say is fix the partition conundrum.
[04:07] <rarsauce> Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Its very not normal.
[04:08] <Lupus> Mm. Ill google clone and change order and see
[04:08] <Beldar> rarsauce, a usb always runs slow.
[04:08] <chicognu> and it looks easy at first,  iscan depends on libltdl3 (>= 1.5.2-2); however:
[04:08] <chicognu>   Package libltdl3 is not installed.
[04:08] <rarsauce> Beldar: I run tails and its lightning fast
[04:08] <rarsauce> 30 seconds of lag while a program stalls is not because its installed via USB
[04:09] <jeremyb> who controls what goes on http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/asus ?
[04:09] <Beldar> rarsauce, not sure your point.
[04:10] <chicognu> somsip, there is not a version 3 of that lib assis@security:~/Downloads$ apt-cache search libltdl
[04:10] <chicognu> libltdl-dev - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool
[04:10] <chicognu> libltdl7 - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool libguile-ltdl-1 - Guile's patched version of libtool's libltdl
[04:10] <Lupus> Beldar - using fdisk to fix parition order says its in order
[04:10] <Beldar> rarsauce, This a fullinstall or just the ISO?
[04:10] <jeremyb> seems a bit silly to be linking to a product on amazon if said product is "currently unavailable"
[04:10] <rarsauce> Beldar: The point is TAILS is a USB based OS that runs lightning fast via USB. The USB is not the bottleneck. This is a full install using the alternate cd installation
[04:10] <zee_hax0r> Is ubuntu like windows?
[04:10] <jeremyb> (you could still link to it but at least don't show it so prominently)
[04:10] <Beldar> Lupus, if you have it in order then the sda5 would be resizeable with the swap off.
[04:11] <Beldar> zee_hax0r, No.
[04:11] <zee_hax0r> Can I make it like Windows 95?
[04:11] <somsip> chicognu: this might help http://is.gd/oz9sFY
[04:11] <Beldar> zee_hax0r, No totally different and this is offtopic.
[04:11] <rarsauce> I have seen ubuntu run quickly from USB before, but it seems everytime I do a new install its *very* slow
[04:11] <chicognu> here is what happen if i try to install version 7 http://pastebin.com/3NZ5QVzR
[04:12] <Beldar> rarsauce, tails is not ubuntu, that is a faulty comparison, means nothing.
[04:12] <jeremyb> seems like a lively channel (haven't been here much recently) but no answer for me :-/ (admittedly there may be a more relevant place to ask, idk)
[04:12] <rarsauce> I was trying to state that the USB is not the issue, nor is installing to USB
[04:12] <rarsauce> Are you trying to say the fault is within ubuntu via USB installation?
[04:12] <rarsauce> That its always this slow and laggy on every system?
[04:13] <ObrienDave> USB2 install would be slower than normal HD or SSD
[04:13] <rarsauce> i find it hard to believe people have 20-30 second window freezes upon launching a new program
[04:13] <Beldar> rarsauce, First use nicks here you can tab complete them, my point is a usb does not read as fast a s a internal HD.
[04:13] <Lupus> Beldar - i have turned swap off, i have ran fdisk which tells me there is no ordering problem yet i still cannot resize
[04:13] <ObrienDave> possibly USB3 also
[04:13] <Beldar> Lupus, Are they out of order in gpartd still?
[04:13] <rarsauce> ObrienDave: Yes, im looking to get a 3.0 usb key to install it to to test :)
[04:14] <Lupus> They look exactly like the screenshot, but fdisk cannot reorder them
[04:14] <jeremyb> Beldar: your last msg to rarsauce could use some more punctuation :-]
[04:14] <Beldar> jeremyb, I will pass that on to my grad professors, thanks.
[04:14] <Beldar> lol
[04:14] <jeremyb> :D
[04:15] <chicognu> ok, that help a little, and mekes me feel dumb for the next 10 years
[04:15] <chicognu> ok, that help a little, and mekes me feel dumb for the next 10 years somsip
[04:15] <fixmypc956> so i made an fstab change a few days ago cause it was recommended...i still dont know if my 1tb hd is mounted for my files and apperrantly i created /home on the hd and didnt know that /home is created during install....how can i remove that fstab change? because of that change i also get this message when i connect to my server thru putty...http://paste.ubuntu.com/6482555/
[04:15] <rarsauce> As for my nick not auto completing, isnt that a issue with your client?>
[04:15] <rarsauce> I've never had that issue in my life, and i've been on irc for 20+ years
[04:15] <rarsauce> type a nick, hit tab, bam, autocomplete.
[04:15] <chicognu> but now i get assis@security:~/Downloads$ scanimage -L device `epkowa:usb:001:004' is a Epson (unknown model) flatbed scanner assis@security:~/Downloads$
[04:15] <Beldar> Lupus, Youir are reading fdisk incorrectly.
[04:15] <jeremyb> rarsauce: he was saying *you* should use other people's nicks more. not he had a problem completing yours
[04:15] <Beldar> you are*
[04:15] <rarsauce> Oh, sure.  Installation issues I can help with. Getting printers and scanners working is not something I can help with
[04:16] <rarsauce> Also, are there any tips or hacks I can do to speed things up?
[04:17] <jeremyb> Beldar: my threading's broken, what are you replying to?
[04:17] <jeremyb> rarsauce: you could try debootstrap and see if that's faster?
[04:17] <Beldar> rarsauce, when you actually use a nick it shows.
[04:17] <Lupus> Beldar - bit.ly/18GoDnU
[04:17] <jeremyb> rarsauce: you could try with a local (on your LAN) mirror
[04:18] <rarsauce> Beldar: If I do a clone of one USB key to another USB key, and the 2nd one runs *ultra* slow (like way way way slower than what im complaining about) is there anything i can do to fix it?
[04:18] <chicognu> somsip, well the scanner is now working inside libreoffice I would kiss you but it would be a little bit gay ... so a big thanks will be fine :)
[04:18] <rarsauce> Im trying to make a 1:1 clone of my usb key as I use it as my bitcoin wallet aswell
[04:18] <somsip> chicognu: thanks are mych preferred ;-)
[04:18] <somsip> *much
[04:19] <chicognu> :D
[04:19] <jeremyb> rarsauce: unclear to me if this is theoretical or you have an actual case to demonstrate
[04:19] <Beldar> rarsauce, Might try a fsck, there are different levels of ssd read speeds, I'm not sure if this is the same with a usb flash.
[04:19] <Beldar> Lupus, nice picture.
[04:19] <Lupus> Aw, dammit!
[04:19] <Lupus> Stupid link!
[04:19] <Beldar> ;)
[04:20] <Lupus> Hold on - urgh bit.ly/18G0DnU
[04:20] <Beldar> Lupus, fdisk will show the partitions in numerical order look at the mb
[04:21] <Lupus> Then what did i run in the screenshot?
[04:21] <Lupus> Thats what the wiki said to do
[04:22] <Beldar> Lupus, use imagebin or pastebin, photobucket does not even render an image in my FF setup, I have to use opera and the pics are to small to really read.
[04:23] <rarsauce> jeremyb: I have 1PNY 16gb key i cloned to a HP 15GB key, and the HP key runs so slow it takes about 5 minutes just to open 2 windows
[04:23] <rarsauce> HP 16gb *
[04:23] <jeremyb> Beldar: slow but does WFM in iceweasel fwiw. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/LL-Lupus07/Screenshotfrom2013-11-27041603_zpsa88fc808.png
[04:23] <Beldar> Lupus, Pastebin sudo fdisk -l
[04:23] <Lupus> Beldar - imagebin.org/279124
[04:24] <Beldar> Lupus, Pastebin sudo fdisk -l
[04:24] <Lupus> Doing now
[04:24] <jeremyb> rarsauce: you should try other perf tests. maybe just dd with /dev/zero / /dev/null a bit
[04:25] <Lupus> Paste.ubuntu.com/6482597
[04:25] <Lupus> Beldar ^
[04:25] <fixmypc956> so i made an fstab change a few days ago cause it was recommended...i still dont know if my 1tb hd is mounted for my files and apperrantly i created /home on the hd and didnt know that /home is created during install....how can i remove that fstab change? because of that change i also get this message when i connect to my server thru putty...http://paste.ubuntu.com/6482555/
[04:26] <rarsauce> jeremyb: I apologize but im not super nix savvy. What precisely and specifically should I do?
[04:26] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Lupus: That numbering is completey normal and expected since partition number 3 is an extended partition, and logical partitions always have numbers greater than 4.
[04:26] <Beldar> Lupus, Notice the start and stop of the partitions
[04:26] <jeremyb> rarsauce: you should try to make a narrower test case. find which part of the equation is slow
[04:27] <rarsauce> I would love to do that, could you explain how please?
[04:27] <Lupus> Beldar - remember the large unallocated space after sda2
[04:27] <Beldar> Lupus, Yes
[04:28] <Jordan_U> fixmypc956: Did you make a backup of your original fstab? (if not, hopefully you've learned your lesson now for the future) Please pastebin your fstab and explain exactly what you changed.
[04:28] <Beldar> Lupus, I have the feeling you do not understand.
[04:28] <Lupus> Beldar - isnt that why in the support channel?
[04:28] <Lupus> No, i dont
[04:29] <Beldar> Lupus, Sure and I have clearly more than once explained it to you.
[04:29] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Lupus' partitions are *not* "out of order".
[04:29] <Lupus> Jordan_U im trying to make sda5 larger, but gparted wont let me with swap off according to bit.ly/1bmFHEH
[04:30] <Jordan_U> Lupus: I seem to remember that GParted won't resize extended partitions for some reason, even though it's possible to do.
[04:30] <Lupus> Im getting to the stage where i might reinstall ubuntu
[04:30] <Lupus> Into that section
[04:31] <Lupus> Screw it, im doing that.
[04:31] <Lupus> Thanks Beldar and Jordan_U
[04:31] <Beldar> Jordan_U, When he showed a gparted picture they were, he said he fixed it so I said do what you wanted to it should work now, it has been a little or no real communication that is understandable situation to be honest.
[04:31] <jeremyb> rarsauce: nope, sorry :) (i could tell you how to use dd but so could `man dd` and i don't have a lot of time to spare right now. likewise i could google terms like "linux disk stress test" for you but you could do that yourself and again not much spare time atm)
[04:32] <Jordan_U> Beldar: I looked at Lupus' original screenshot, please see my earlier explanation as to why that should not be considered "out of order".
[04:32] <rarsauce> Sure, no problem, thats enough info to go ont
[04:32] <rarsauce> jeremyb: thanks!
[04:32] <fixmypc956> Jordan_U: no backup...lesson learned...http://paste.ubuntu.com/6482612/  wanted to mount 1tb hd with /home...OS is installed on usb flash drive...
[04:33] <Beldar> Jordan_U, YOu came on long after the first screenshot and now it is expired.
[04:34] <Beldar> Jordan_U, If he posted another gparted screenie I did not see it,
[04:34] <Beldar> I know how to read gparted and fdisk, if I made an error it was due to the fact of terrible communication.
[04:36] <Jordan_U> Beldar: The first working link that Lupus posted was: Bit.ly/1bmFHEH, which is *not* an example of "out of order" partitions, even though sda5 and sda6 come before sda4 on disk.
[04:37] <rarsauce> does apt-get update/upgrade install everything that would normally be listed in the ubuntu software center?
[04:37] <rarsauce> is the software center just a GUI for apt-get upgrade?
[04:37] <wafflejock> rarsauce: yea
[04:37] <Beldar> Jordan_U, sda5 is before sda4 on that shot
[04:38] <Beldar> sda4 is the last partition
[04:38] <rarsauce> great, thanks wafflejock :)
[04:38] <wafflejock> !apt > rarsauce
[04:38] <wafflejock> rarsauce: np
[04:39] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Yes, which is expected because any partition whose number is > 4 is a logical partition, and any logical partition is by definition within an extended partition, and the extended partition in this case is sda3, which comes before sda4.
[04:39] <GuybrushThreepwo> I currently have ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit and have the default AMD Radeon HD 7660G  driver. Can anyone help me upgrade to the proprietory driver?
[04:40] <fixmypc956> Jordan_U: no backup...lesson learned...http://paste.ubuntu.com/6482612/  wanted to mount 1tb hd with /home...OS is installed on usb flash drive...
[04:40] <Beldar> Jordan_U, the extended reads left to right sda5 sda6 sda4 that is out of order
[04:41] <Jordan_U> Beldar: All of the primary slots are in order disk order, and all of the logical partitions are in disk order. Any time you use any primary partition other than 4 as an extended partition you will get numbering like this, it is normal.
[04:41] <Beldar> Jordan_U, If you delete partitions yes, but not if you reformat them.
[04:42] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Please give an example of a disk with 3 primary partitions and one or more logical partitions, where the extended partition is sda3.
[04:42] <Jordan_U> Beldar: (An example which you would consider "in order").
[04:42] <Beldar> Jordan_U, My point was only that having partitions out of order can keep gparted from resizing, however they did not know about resizing sda3 to resize sda5.
[04:43] <Jordan_U> Beldar: That is not something that GParted would consider out of order, nor would fdisk or any other tool consider it out of order. You are misunderstanding how extended and logical partitions work and their numbering.
[04:43] <Beldar> Jordan_U, Not sure your argument, honestly it makes no sense to me.
[04:44] <garshasp> Beldar, i have lxde for free
[04:44] <garshasp> so there ya go
[04:45] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Do you understand that any partition numbered '5' is by definition a logical partition (when using an msdos partition table)?
[04:45] <Beldar> Jordan_U, There may be some technical part I'm not getting, however I have found trying to resize a partition with one as a lower number above to be problematic.
[04:45] <Beldar> yes
[04:46] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Do you understand that a primary partition is by definition contained within an extended partition?
[04:46] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Sorry, s/primary/logical/ in that last comment.
[04:46] <hashguy> Is there something in 13.10 that would cause my SSH connections to be closed after a period of inactivity?
[04:46] <hashguy> this used to not happen
[04:46] <DarkAceLaptop> what's the command to open the settings manager that comes with Unity?
[04:47] <Jordan_U> fixmypc956: It looks like you just added line #15, you should be able to just prepend a '#' to that line to make it a comment, and get back to how things were (assuming you didn't change anything else).
[04:47] <Beldar> Jordan_U, for the record this is how well I understand this. http://imagebin.org/279125
[04:47] <Beldar> 4 OS
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Do you understand that a logical partition is by definition contained within an extended partition?
[04:48] <Beldar> all in order inspite of removing all and reloading others at times
[04:48] <Beldar> Jordan_U, Are you kidding me
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Beldar: Yes or no?
[04:49] <wilee-nilee> yes
[04:49] <w0nder> How can i disable the spyware within ubuntu?
[04:49] <Jordan_U> wilee-nilee: Do you understand that sda3 can be an extended partition? (in your example sda4 is the extended partition)
[04:49] <hashguy> w0nder: LOL - the what?
[04:49] <wilee-nilee> yes
[04:49] <fixmypc956> Jordan_U: will doing that let me see the original /home?
[04:49] <Jordan_U> fixmypc956: Yes.
[04:49] <w0nder> hashguy: The whole sending stuff to amazon crap
[04:50] <hashguy> w0nder: What you talking about? My ubuntu doesn't send anything to Amazon.
[04:50] <Jordan_U> wilee-nilee: Do you think that it is possible to have sda3 be an extended partition containing logical partitions, and for sda4 (a primary partition) to exist, without partitions being "out of order"?
[04:51] <Danato> is there a video to mp3 software installed on ubuntu by default?
[04:51] <hashguy> w0nder: Oh, you must be using ubuntu on desktop
[04:51] <Jordan_U> Danato: No, but you there are many programs available in the default repositories that can do this.
[04:51] <hashguy> Danato: Unlikely, since MP3 is patented - maybe check in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:52] <wilee-nilee> Jordan_U, Yes, I was missreading the sda4 as inside the extended.
[04:52] <hashguy> w0nder: sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
[04:52] <fixmypc956> jordan_u: does /home have anything in it from initial install other than lost+found?
[04:52] <wilee-nilee> Jordan_U, Will this cause in error in gparted though in resizing the sda5?
[04:53] <Jordan_U> wilee-nilee: No.
[04:53] <wilee-nilee> Jordan_U, Ah, I missread the screenshot it was hardly readable in the photobucket to begin with, thanks.
[04:54] <Jordan_U> wilee-nilee: sda4 can never be within an extended partition, because partitions whose number is 4,3,2, or 1 are by definition primary.
[04:54] <wilee-nilee> I know that, that must be a MS built exteneded\
[04:55] <Jordan_U> wilee-nilee: You're welcome.And for the record you were right about the real problem (Lupus' swap partition was in use) :)
[04:55] <wilee-nilee> Jordan_U, I should of asked for a better picture of the screenshot, hehe
[04:55] <wilee-nilee> and payed closer attention of course
[04:56] <Danato> hashguy: I already have ubuntu-restricted-extras, I thought it was jst a plugin thing. but does it come with any software?
[04:58] <fixmypc956> jordan_u: does /home have anything in it from initial install other than lost+found? and when i log onto my server i still get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/6482678/
[04:58] <somsip> !adlens w0nder
[04:58] <somsip> !adlens | w0nder
[04:59] <Jordan_U> fixmypc956: Changes to /etc/fstab only make a difference the next time you try to mount somthing, or at boot. You can either reboot (to be sure that the change fixed things permanently) or run "sudo umount /home/" to temporarily fix things.
[05:00] <erek> what is the default root password on a ubuntu installation?
[05:01] <fixmypc956> jordan_u: ok let me try and reboot
[05:01] <Jordan_U> !root | erek
[05:01] <erek> i installed ubuntu and my non-super user has a pword, but root i have no idea
[05:01] <erek> thanks
[05:02] <Jordan_U> erek: You're welcome.
[05:02] <erek> couldn't applications of miliacious origin exploit that?
[05:05] <edenist> erek: sudo still needs your account's password. That is why whenever anything requires elevated permissions, it prompts you for your password
[05:06] <erek> oh
[05:07] <xangua> !root | erek
[05:07] <xangua> sorry :P
[05:07] <erek> im going to figure out the root password
[05:08] <bariho> I'm thinking about buying a thinkpad t400 with this graphics chip(s): Switchable Graphics with Intel GMA 4500MHD and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 (256 MB). how well is this supported on ubuntu? is it possible to switch while the system is running?
[05:08] <erek> i bet there's a way to figure out the root password
[05:09] <Beldar> !root | erek
[05:11] <Beldar> erek, You can't find what does not exist
[05:12] <vocx> erek, you can always create a root account with a root password in Ubuntu. However, the Ubuntu model is that this is unnecessary, because you can temporarily elevate privileges through "sudo".
[05:12] <hashguy> Danato: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[05:14] <DarkAceLaptop> what's the command to open the settings manager that comes with Unity?
[05:15] <JordanJ2> Compiz?
[05:16] <geekmasterflash> DarkAceLaptop, ccsm if you want to edit compiz settings, but that means getting the compizconfig-settings-manager package
[05:16] <DarkAceLaptop> no, not compiz...
[05:17] <kkkkkkk> hi all, is there any way to fast detect 3g modem ubuntu, on windows i am able to connect from initilized modem within 15-seconds, here it takes more than a minutes, sometimes 2 minutes or more
[05:17] <kkkkkkk> i have micromax 352g 3g data card
[05:17] <vocx> Is there a package I need to install in order to be able to hibernate a computer. I just installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine, and I cannot hibernate it. However, since it's not a physical hardware, I presume this may be a reason.
[05:17] <Danato> hashguy: is anything there to convert video to mp3?
[05:17] <kkkkkkk> it works but detection is slow
[05:18] <ObrienDave> vocx, hibernate is disabled by default
[05:18] <vocx> ObrienDave, really? Where do I activate it?
[05:18] <ObrienDave> https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F94754%2F&ei=soCVUsjLLYrjoAT-_IDwDg&usg=AFQjCNGE2B2QbBhlyl6nVf_0KWJq41yJow&sig2=VcvgSPBEYLbZurB_7Z9hnA
[05:19] <ObrienDave> dang, hang on
[05:19] <ObrienDave> http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation
[05:19] <hashguy> Danato: It has a section on MP3
[05:19] <vocx> kkkkkkk, I would say there is little to do. When it comes to hardware, it may be that the device just works better with the Windows drivers than with the Ubuntu ones.
[05:20] <kkkkkkk> vocx: then nothing can be done, :(
[05:20] <leviathan_> How do I block all but the two user accounts I use on ssh?
[05:21] <jmgk> :(
[05:22] <leviathan_> restate my question: how do block all accounts from using ssh except the ones I want.
[05:22] <hashguy> leviathan_: set their shells to /bin/false
[05:23] <vocx> kkkkkkk, that's the thing with hardware. As long as it works, I would not mind.
[05:23] <xangua> http://www.pauljoyceuk.com/codex/2012/howto-make-ubuntu-12-04-hibernate-successfully/
[05:24] <leviathan_> hashguy: how do I do that?
[05:24] <kkkkkkk> vocx: it is working but slow, and a workaround is just a workaround, things should work out of the box and in that way more people will opt for linux
[05:24] <vocx> ObrienDave, thanks for the read. I do remember hibernation is a major issue. It never "just works", for some it does, not for other people.
[05:24] <hashguy> leviathan_: sudo vipw
[05:24] <hashguy> leviathan_: the last field on every line is the shell
[05:24] <hashguy> fields are divided by a colon
[05:25] <hashguy> change the shell from whatever it is to /bin/false, and that account cannot login anymore
[05:25] <leviathan_> that won't affect anything else, like programs that use those accounts?
[05:26] <erek> isn't there a way to get the root password?
[05:26] <hashguy> leviathan_: Not that I know of
[05:26] <hashguy> erek: not a sane one, no
[05:26] <erek> hashguy: ah
[05:26] <erek> hashguy: but it is possible
[05:26] <xangua> !noroot | erek
[05:27] <Beldar> erek, There is not one, you have to make it and it is not advised per the way the OS is designed.
[05:27] <hashguy> Well, in theory, if you have /etc/shadow and a ton of CPU cycles sitting around, you could possibly find a collision
[05:27] <hashguy> erek: But in recent Linux, root shouldn't even *have* a password
[05:27] <erek> hashguy: would gpu acceleration work?
[05:27] <hashguy> it's disabled entirely
[05:27] <hashguy> erek: Depends on what hashing algorithm you used to set root's password
[05:27] <erek> gpu accelerated hash cracker
[05:27] <erek> ohg
[05:27] <erek> oh
[05:27] <erek> !wfm
[05:28] <FloodBot1> erek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:29] <hashguy> erek: Why are you asking?
[05:29] <leviathan_> Is there another way to limit ssh account access? Like a deny all, allow user1 user2? That way I don't have to go back and edit any new user accounts. Only when I want to allow access.
[05:29] <erek> hashguy: having a root password is more familiar to me
[05:30] <Beldar> erek, That may be, however ubuntu is designed differently that OS's that have a root password, you are defeating yourself in trying.
[05:30] <Beldar> than*
[05:30] <hashguy> erek: And healing people by releasing their blood and "yellow bile" was more familiar to the ancient Greeks than actual medicine. Get with the times.
[05:30] <Foxhoundz> where does mysqld store logs?
[05:30] <erek> hashguy: do most other distributions handle root in a similar fashion?
[05:30] <hashguy> erek: yes
[05:30] <Beldar> hehe good analogy hashashin
[05:31] <Beldar> hashguy, ^^
[05:31] <hashguy> Foxhoundz: Most likely under /var/log/mysql*
[05:32] <Foxhoundz> 131127  5:30:03 [ERROR] Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB
[05:32] <Foxhoundz> But..
[05:32] <Foxhoundz> that doesn't make sense
[05:33] <hashguy> Foxhoundz: sounds liek your mysql doesn't have innodb support
[05:35] <Foxhoundz> innodb should be installed with mysql by default
[05:35] <hashguy> is that true in ubuntu?
[05:35] <hashguy> I don't know, I don't use mysql
[05:35] <hashguy> I know that innodb used to be non-free software, maybe they can't include it for license
[05:36] <wafflejock> Foxhoundz: do some googling looks like corrupt db files can cause the error, prob need to do some further debugging now that you have an error in hand
[05:37] <vlad_starkov> Question: Does anyone know what the hell is that http://cl.ly/image/310g2D1K462E ? "BUG soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck..."
[05:37] <ObrienDave> vocx, seems to be another method for 13.10 http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/10/enable-hibernation-ubuntu-13-10/
[05:38] <hashguy> vlad_starkov: I've seen that before when using cheap ethernet cards that expect to offload everything to the CPU, and then the machine gets hit really hard by network traffice
[05:41] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on Supermicro 6015B-TB with 2xXeons E5345 / 16GB RAM/ RAID 10 (4TB)
[05:42] <hashguy> vlad_starkov: What does 'cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource' say?
[05:43] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: the system even doesn't boot
[05:43] <vlad_starkov> is it possible that 4Tb partition is too big for Ubuntu?
[05:43] <vlad_starkov> Or 32Gb SWAP is too big?
[05:43] <hashguy> Ubuntu doesn't limit the partition size, but your FS selection might
[05:44] <hashguy> I don't know why you'd ever run a 32GB swap
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> !swap | vlad_starkov
[05:45] <csst0111> hi, I'm from my laptop right now. I just opened the desktop and instead of the login screen with the bg image it gives me a command line prompt. Yesterday *everything* was normal!
[05:45] <csst0111> what should I do now? what happened?
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: did you update recently?
[05:45] <csst0111> lotuspsychje, 2-3 days ago maybe
[05:46] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: hold shift at boot and enter grub, try to boot into another kernel
[05:46] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: if that doesnt work boot another kernel in recoverymode and choose failsafeX
[05:48] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: I use ext4
[05:48] <Foxhoundz> where is the mysql conf file stored on ubunut
[05:48] <hashguy> vlad_starkov: ext4 is just fine with a 4TiB partition
[05:48] <hashguy> Foxhoundz: probably under /etc/mysql
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> !lamp | Foxhoundz
[05:49] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: I use ext4
[05:49] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: OK
[05:50] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: so what can be cause of the problem?
[05:50] <hashguy> Foxhoundz: try  dpkg -L mysql-common
[05:50] <hashguy> vlad_starkov: Lots of things
[05:50] <hashguy> vlad_starkov: Try a newer version of Ubuntu
[05:50] <Foxhoundz> thanks
[05:50] <vlad_starkov> hashguy: 13?
[05:50] <Foxhoundz> found it under /etc/mysql/
[05:50] <hashguy> sure
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | hashguy
[05:51] <csst0111> lotuspsychje, I changed to 3.2.0-54 instead of 55 and doesnt work. So I'm choosing recoverymode...
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: yes try one in recoverymode and choose failsafeX from the list, it might work..
[05:52] <erek> does anyone here use ReiserFS?
[05:53] <hashguy> LOL - no murderers here!
[05:53] <hashguy> too soon?
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> !reiserfs | erek
[05:53] <erek> it's still being developed i thought
[05:54] <hashguy> erek: WP says "Reiser4's continued development is uncertain following its namesake's conviction for murder."
[05:54] <csst0111> lotuspsychje, nothing. It gives me "no screens error" and now I remember I updated yesterday the drivers for my graphic card :(
[05:55] <hashguy> erek: Ted Ts'o says use btrfs
[05:55] <erek> !btrfs
[05:55] <erek> how fast is it
[05:55] <hashguy> probably fast enough
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: so after failsafeX it doesnt wanna start either?
[05:55] <SwedeMike> erek: what problem are you trying to solve?
[05:55] <csst0111> yes it doesnt start!
[05:55] <erek> it sucks that ReiserFS isn't good for real-time audio
[05:56] <erek> SwedeMike: looking for the highest performing FS in existence
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: try fix broken packages from list then (recoverymode)
[05:56] <SwedeMike> erek: there is no such thing. They all have strengths and weaknesses.
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: this might take a while
[05:56] <hashguy> erek: highest performing on what benchmark
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> csst0111: are you on 13.10?
[05:56] <erek> hashguy: rendering, real-time audio, and gaming
[05:57] <hashguy> Those aren't filesystem benchmarks
[05:57] <erek> would it be possible to create a dynamic FS? that could adjust itself for the workload?
[05:57] <SwedeMike> erek: then ext4 or XFS will work fine. They're stable and have good performance.
[05:57] <csst0111> lotuspsychje, nope 12.04
[05:57] <erek> SwedeMike: i've liked XFS before
[05:58]  * ObrienDave has hibernate back. yay
[05:59] <hashguy> erek: https://oss.oracle.com/projects/btrfs/dist/documentation/benchmark.html
[06:00] <erek> hashguy: interesting
[06:01] <hashguy> that gives you an idea of the kinds of things people benchmark filesystems on
[06:01] <hashguy> "Gaming" isn't a benchmark
[06:01] <hashguy> "Create new files" is
[06:02] <erek> hashguy: read times for loading
[06:02] <chicognu> Ok: I want my virtual box machine uses some USB devices. It can't find any devices when I start with normal user, but as ROOT it show the USB devices connected. Só how I can solve this ?
[06:04] <Beldar> chicognu, What is the virtual OS?
[06:04] <dad06> ?
[06:05] <dad06> hello
[06:05] <ianspersonal> hey
[06:05] <chicognu> Beldar, windows xp ... but i think it is about some permission on usb devices
[06:05] <Beldar> chicognu, Host is?
[06:05] <ianspersonal> linux here
[06:05] <chicognu> ubuntu 12.04
[06:06] <chicognu> ubuntu 12.04 Beldar
[06:06] <ianspersonal> ubuntu 13.10
[06:06] <Beldar> chicognu, What are the usb partitons?
[06:06] <ianspersonal> anyone here like ho,estuck
[06:06] <ianspersonal> ho,estuck
[06:06] <chicognu> Beldar, are not partitions ... it is a printer and a wireless adaptor
[06:06] <ianspersonal> homestuck^
[06:07] <chicognu> i wish to use it inside the virtual machine Beldar , but i can only do that when i start virtual box as root
[06:07] <Beldar> chicognu, Ah, if no one helps here if virtualbox they have a channel #vbox
[06:07] <chicognu> Beldar, pretty much sure it is only a permission settings
[06:08] <Beldar> chicognu, seems like you just need to run the in XP computer rightclick and link them in the standard account, just a guess though.
[06:09] <Beldar> chicognu, Could be.
[06:12] <leviathan_> I've moved my ssh access to another port number due to brute force hits. Could I then setup something up to add every IP address that tries to connect to port 22 to the hosts.deny list?
[06:12] <hashguy> yes
[06:13] <hashguy> There are lots of them - fail2ban is a popular one
[06:13] <hashguy> you could also just whitelist specific IPs you know you'll be coming in from
[06:14] <leviathan_> I think thats what I already have that installed, forgot the name, it's already banned a few ips from china.
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> !info denyhosts | leviathan_
[06:15] <thorsten_> hi
[06:15] <geekmasterflash> hello thorsten_
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> leviathan_: its very prudent to secure your ssh, alot of hammering these days
[06:15] <DarkAceLaptop> alot is not a word
[06:15] <thorsten_> want to get beignet work with nvidia gfx card
[06:15] <thorsten_> possible ?
[06:16] <geekmasterflash> !beignet
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> DarkAceLaptop: this is not a vocabulary game
[06:16] <geekmasterflash> thorsten_, Never heard of it.
[06:16] <thorsten_> geekmasterflash, the intel opencl driver
[06:16] <leviathan_> I don't want to go over board.. but I do need to secure my server. Right now i'm trying to limit ssh to a user group of the only to users I want having ssh access.
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> !security | leviathan_
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> leviathan_: some nice tuts on that url to tighten your system
[06:18] <leviathan_> So if I want to talk security I need to move to another channel?
[06:18] <Kireji> I'm trying to change the login background on ubuntu 13.10 and I've spent 40 minutes on this
[06:18] <Kireji> Ubuntu Tweak is not like all teh screen shots
[06:18] <geekmasterflash> Kireji, What desktop enviroment do you use?
[06:18] <Kireji> I don't know
[06:18] <Kireji> unity I think
[06:18] <geekmasterflash> Kireji, Or better, what desktop manager
[06:19] <geekmasterflash> Kireji, You likely want a lightdm theme
[06:19] <Kireji> whatever the stock 13.10 intall is
[06:19] <Kireji> yes, it's lightdm
[06:19] <Kireji> I want to put my own image onto the "greeter" I think
[06:19] <Kireji> but all the instructions online have config files that are different than my stock install system
[06:19] <geekmasterflash> Kireji, http://www.maketecheasier.com/customize-lightdm-themes/
[06:20] <Kireji> yes...  that's what I've been following
[06:20] <Kireji> but Ubuntu Tweak does not look like their screenshots
[06:20] <ObrienDave> Kireji, save your picture as .face in your home directory. that works
[06:21] <geekmasterflash> ObrienDave, That will only change her user icon
[06:21] <geekmasterflash> or his*
[06:21] <Kireji> ObrienDave: not my face, I want to change the background
[06:21] <Kireji> geekmasterflash: all the screen look like those on http://www.maketecheasier.com/tweak-unity-desktop-with-unity-tweak-tool
[06:22]  * ObrienDave goes back to sleep
[06:22] <ubuntutis> i need help with advanced settings has anybody used this
[06:22] <Kireji> geekmasterflash: not teh screens on http://www.maketecheasier.com/customize-lightdm-themes
[06:22] <thorsten_> I want to get DRI2 working
[06:22] <thorsten_> with nvidia gfx card
[06:22] <Kireji> there is no "login settings", no Apps, Tweaks, Admins, JAnitor
[06:23] <Kireji> geekmasterflash: just Overview - like on http://i2.wp.com/www.maketecheasier.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/unity-tweak-tool-main-window.png
[06:24] <Kireji> what's the difference between "Ubuntu Tweak"  and "Ubuntu Tweak Tool" ?
[06:25] <Beldar> Kireji, I would be careful just using some random website to do this.
[06:26] <ubuntutis> anybody here used the advanced settingss tool
[06:29] <Beldar> ubuntutis, In the gnome-shell?
[06:30] <ubuntutis> beldar its just for my theme i found a post that was reliable but when i insert the thing in use/share/themes it just doesnt show up in advanced settings
[06:31] <ubuntutis> usr
[06:31] <Beldar> ubuntutis, In the gnome-shell? Or what desktop?
[06:32] <ubuntutis> im a newbee whats the gnome shell
[06:33] <Beldar> ubuntutis, It is the gnome 3 desktop, there is also unity which is the stock ubuntu install desktop.
[06:33] <ubuntutis> im using unity im on ubuntu 12.04
[06:33] <Beldar> ubuntutis, Not sure than I use the shell.
[06:33] <ubuntutis> whats the command
[06:34] <ieshi> ?

[07:00] <fajfarde> Just installed xubuntu on my dell xps 15 now the question is if someone knows how to get the geforce 640m running
[07:01] <hellslinger> fajfarde: lsmod | grep nouveau
[07:01] <hellslinger> any output?
[07:01] <Kartagis> what file does `which` use? .bashrc?
[07:01] <fajfarde> no output on that command
[07:01] <GuybrushThreepwo> i installed fglrx drivers, then removed the old drivers, then rebooted, as geekmasterflash was helping my with
[07:01] <hellslinger> fajfarde: how about lsmod | grep nvidia
[07:01] <GuybrushThreepwo> i also did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade throughout the course of this
[07:01] <GuybrushThreepwo> i reboot...
[07:02] <GuybrushThreepwo> loacing screen freezes when the red dots are all filled and it stays like that
[07:02] <GuybrushThreepwo> i can't do anything
[07:02] <GuybrushThreepwo> can someone help me?
[07:02] <fajfarde> hellslinger: eighter I typet it wron the first time or I am just that kind of stupit but now I have a result vor nouveau
[07:02] <erek> GuybrushThreepwo: http://i.imgur.com/i4jgc6D.jpg
[07:03] <hellslinger> fajfarde: so the question is, what do you want ot get working?
[07:03] <fajfarde> hellslinger: if this means that the hardware is working then I am happy
[07:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> erek...showing me a gif of a cat isn't helping
[07:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> jpg*
[07:03] <fajfarde> helslinger: had to reinstall because of a driver update failure on my last installation
[07:04] <hellslinger> GuybrushThreepwo: sorry, I don't have any experience getting AMD stuff working, but you may want to try purging (not just remove) the fgrlx packages
[07:04] <hellslinger> fajfarde: it means that a driver is loaded, but it may not be the one you want. No OpenGL 3D acceleration is available for nouveau drivers
[07:04] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: you installed fglrx?
[07:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> I'm a noob when it comes to linux, I just use it casually..don't install stuff often
[07:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> yes ari-yang i did
[07:05] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: I advised you to not install it :/
[07:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> geekmasterflash was helping me via pm
[07:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> and he just left
[07:05] <fajfarde> hellslinger: this is the office laptop so there will be no games eighterway. I am hapy for now and will leave it as it is
[07:05] <hellslinger> fajfarde: if you want your full 3D acceleration and don't have a problem running the nvidia binary blob, you can do apt-get install nvidia-current
[07:06] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: I don't care who was helping you, I advised you to not install fglrx because it could mess up your system.
[07:06] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: you took the risk and installed it... nothing you can do
[07:06] <fajfarde> hellslinger: will do that when the time emerges. For now I am happy with the installation.
[07:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> there's absolutely nothing i can do??
[07:06] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: uninstall fglrx and then install the radeon open source driver
[07:06] <Ari-Yang> hopefully that will help
[07:06] <fajfarde> hellslinger: Thanks for the quick help :)
[07:06] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: afk, good luck
[07:07] <GuybrushThreepwo> ...
[07:07] <GuybrushThreepwo> you could at least tell me HOW to do that
[07:07] <hellslinger> fajfarde: you're welcome. power management could be an issue, make sure your video card fan isn't running full speed before you decide to stick withit
[07:08] <GuybrushThreepwo> since if i am at command prompt i wont be here talking to anyone
[07:08] <GuybrushThreepwo> i can't be here and there at the same time
[07:09] <GuybrushThreepwo> ok, can anyone else advise me on what to do, since that guy went AFK
[07:10] <fajfarde> hellsinger: it is a mobile card and according to the internal heat sensors we are happy at 56°C with no fan activation. So untill that becomes a problem I will leave it as is
[07:16] <MHQ-Johnny> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a CentOS KVM Hypervisor (the server itself is headless), I'm trying to use the --location switch, but I'm not 100% cure on what URL I should be using.
[07:18] <nafg_> Why am I getting "The authenticity of host... could not be established" etc. when I prepulated known_hosts via ssh-keyscan?
[07:20] <leviathan_> I'm really confused about setting up a FTP FTPS server. The default server uses the system users for login accounts starting at their home directories. How do I go about making FTP ONLY accounts that do not have ssh or desktop login access?
[07:21] <leviathan_> I need a setup a lot like Filezilla Server.
[07:22] <hashguy> what would be the point of an "FTP ONLY" account?
[07:22] <hashguy> isn't that what megaupload and stuff like that replcaed?
[07:25] <ab`> why does transmission download from bottom of the queue? (2.82 on ubuntu 13.10)
[07:28] <leviathan_> I don't trust cloud file storage. Most "own" what you upload in the user agreement. (Google Drive.) You also have to pay for extra storage. Your own server your limited to your own hdd free space.
[07:29] <shrini> leviathan_: in /etc/passwd file
[07:29] <shrini> leviathan_: make the home directory as /bin/false
[07:29] <jmgk> hi shrini
[07:29] <geirha> leviathan_: It depends on the ftp server software, they all do it differently. Consult the documentation to figure out how to configure it to behave like you want it to.

[07:46] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: I don't care
[07:46] <Ari-Yang> try those commands
[07:47] <leviathan_> Is there a way to trigger an audio file to play on the computers default sound device from ssh/terminal? My computer doesn't have a buzzer on the MB and getting beep to work seems to much work.
[07:47] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: also run sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon

[08:10] <GuybrushThreepwo> is there a way to get my OLD drivers back?
[08:10] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: maybe do a fresh install?
[08:10] <GuybrushThreepwo> I don't want to
[08:11] <GuybrushThreepwo> I have things on there I don't want to lose
[08:11] <Ari-Yang> you could backup
[08:11] <Ari-Yang> but it will all be done via command line
[08:11]  * Ari-Yang sighs
[08:11] <Ari-Yang> you shouldn't have installed fglrx :|
[08:12] <GuybrushThreepwo> I know
[08:12] <GuybrushThreepwo> but if it's purged, why would it be affecting it now?
[08:12] <nafg_> how do you disable automatic screen turn off / suspend *from a script*?
[08:12] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: cuz fglrx can do that
[08:12] <Ari-Yang> it trolls
[08:13] <grimeton> GuybrushThreepwo: is it still loaded in the kernel?
[08:13]  * GuybrushThreepwo blinks
[08:13] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: I think you could try and run sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

[08:15] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: also...
[08:16] <chris901> no internet connection
[08:16] <chris901> I tried to do it manually, I am not a administator
[08:16] <bazhang> chris901, thats not supported here, check their homepage or use alis to search for a support channel
[08:16] <Ari-Yang> GuybrushThreepwo: after you reboot, and lets stay you still boot into command prompt, run dmesg | pastebinit then write down the link so when you join you can link us
[08:17] <bazhang> !alis | chris901
[08:17] <chris901> thanks.....
[08:17] <chris901> what distros are you using?
[08:17] <chris901> I guess Windows has spoiled me
[08:18] <chris901> it is a lot more fun doing things manually
[08:18] <bazhang> chris901, this is official Ubuntu support, so all the supported flavors; such as kubuntu xubuntu lubuntu ubuntu
[08:18] <chris901> why are there  so many distros?
[08:19] <Ari-Yang> chris901: it's all ubuntu with different DEs
[08:19] <chris901> will I have to compile my own distro to get exactly what I want?
[08:19] <Ari-Yang> DE = desktop environment
[08:19] <bazhang> different DEs   kde4, xfce4 lxde, gnome
[08:19] <Ari-Yang> chris901: like, you'd use xubuntu or lubuntu if you want a "light weight ubuntu"
[08:19] <bazhang> no compiling ever necessary
[08:20] <chris901> I really like Oz Unity...
[08:20] <Ari-Yang> chris901: otherwise, just install ubuntu and then install whatever desktop environement you want
[08:20] <bazhang> so use it
[08:20] <Ari-Yang> * environment
[08:20] <bazhang> but it's not supported here, so please dont ask for support here
[08:20] <chris901> just no internet connection
[08:21] <chris901> I am on my own here...
[08:21] <chris901> It
[08:21] <chris901> being here is like getting lost on the other side of town
[08:21] <chris901> what about Ultimate Edition 3.4?
[08:22] <bazhang> !flavors | chris901
[08:23] <chris901> how am I going to make any money here if these systems are fragmented?
[08:24] <Ari-Yang> chris901: what do you mean by "make any money here"
[08:24] <molly_> hey, anyone had an issue with installing the ubuntu on windows? -getting an error that it could not retrieve the required disk image
[08:24] <leviathan_> Man vsftpd is a pain to figure out the best way to setup.  Good luck.
[08:29] <GuybrushThreepwo> ok, thanks, i'll go do that...hope someone else can help me
[08:32] <ubuntu_or_arch> hi Why is Ubuntu call a spyware by RMS?
[08:32] <ubuntu_or_arch> I love Ubuntu .. Jus not unity DE
[08:34] <Guest67075> join #bitcoin
[08:36] <vlad_starkov> Question: While installing Ubuntu, there is a step for installing additional software. In case I choose "Manual package selection" the aptitude will be launched. Is it possible to add repositories for aptitude to install some additional software?
[08:37] <kenetik_> vlad_starkov: I'm not positive, but I don't think you can during the install, however you can once it's complete.
[08:38] <vlad_starkov> Once it complete the system will reboot. Isn't it?
[08:38] <ObrienDave> yes
[08:39] <vlad_starkov> But I need to install intel-microcode and microcode.ctl packages BEFORE the system will go for reboot
[08:39] <vlad_starkov> these packages are not available from aptitude by default
[08:40] <ObrienDave> why do you need to do that before reboot?
[08:40] <ab`> \j #emacs
[08:40] <vlad_starkov> Because after reboot the system won't boot due to the "bug soft lockup - cpu#0 stuck for 22s" error messages.
[08:41] <ObrienDave> o i c
[08:41] <vlad_starkov> I found that installing these packages will prevent system to fail
[08:42] <kenetik_> There's got to be an additional string you can add at the grub boot to prevent that error.
[08:42] <vlad_starkov> kenetik_: glad to know which one
[08:42] <ubuntu_or_arch> ari_yang y do you recommend not to use FGLRX
[08:44] <kenetik_> When you boot to grub, press ' e ' and add ' noapic
[08:44] <kenetik_> see if thatll get you in without the error
[08:45] <vlad_starkov> kenetik_: I'll try and come back
[08:45] <vlad_starkov> kenetik_: thanks
[08:45] <kenetik_> vlad_starkov: no promises
[08:45] <kenetik_> lemme know though
[08:45] <vlad_starkov> sure
[08:45] <makara> any news on Rhythmbox metadata bug being fixed?
[08:47] <GuybrushThreepwo> Ok back
[08:47] <GuybrushThreepwo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6483254/
[08:47] <GuybrushThreepwo> Anyone that was helping me still around
[08:48] <kenetik_> =/
[08:51] <GuybrushThreepwo> If anyone new is interested in helping since the other guy had to go:
[08:52] <GuybrushThreepwo> I have an ATO Radeon 7700 something G graphics card. I tried installing fglrx. The loading screen filled all 5 red dots and then froze. So I came back here for help.
[08:53] <GuybrushThreepwo> They had me purge that stuff and install xserver-xord-video-ati and xserver-xord-video-radeon
[08:53] <GuybrushThreepwo> since I did that, instead of freezing at loading screen, the display shuts off completely
[08:53] <ubuntu_or_arch> fglrx vs gallium vs mesa
[08:53] <GuybrushThreepwo> Any suggestions for me other than clean install?
[08:53] <GuybrushThreepwo> 12.04 LTS 64bit
[08:55] <ubuntu_or_arch> upgrade to 3.12.1 kernel
[08:55] <ubuntu_or_arch> and it would be fine then
[08:55] <priscilla> ciao
[08:55] <GuybrushThreepwo> that's to me?
[08:56] <ubuntu_or_arch> ya
[08:56] <GuybrushThreepwo> how do i upgrade kernel again?
[08:56] <ubuntu_or_arch> download it from ubuntu
[08:56] <GuybrushThreepwo> or not
[08:56] <GuybrushThreepwo> i have to do it from the command line
[08:56] <ubuntu_or_arch> Wait
[08:57] <ubuntu_or_arch> Google "ubuntu kernel update 3.12.1
[08:57] <ubuntu_or_arch> and you would find the right page
[08:58] <legath> make-kpkg more linux way
[08:59] <GuybrushThreepwo> So it's a kernel issue and not a driver issue
[08:59] <GuybrushThreepwo> ?
[09:01] <GuybrushThreepwo> ubuntu_or_arch: so it's a kernel issue and not a driver issue?
[09:02] <ubuntu_or_arch> most likely
[09:03] <ubuntu_or_arch> 12.04 work for less people
[09:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> default drivers work fine
[09:03] <ubuntu_or_arch> if you want stable goto Debian
[09:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> but i want to run
[09:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> pcdx2
[09:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> er
[09:03] <GuybrushThreepwo> pcsx2
[09:04] <GuybrushThreepwo> and that requires an actual driver
[09:04] <GuybrushThreepwo> but now im more concerned with me getting my ubuntu working at all
[09:04] <GuybrushThreepwo> since its not working since i tried to update driver
[09:05] <ubuntu_or_arch> oh
[09:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/11/install-upgrade-kernel-3-121-ubuntu-linuxmint/ <- so I just need to type those 4 lines?
[09:05] <ubuntu_or_arch> Gimme a link
[09:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> link to?
[09:05] <ubuntu_or_arch> What do you actually want to do
[09:05] <ubuntu_or_arch> and why
[09:05] <GuybrushThreepwo> install a graphics driver for my card
[09:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> which i tried to do
[09:06] <GuybrushThreepwo> but now my ubuntu dont load
[09:07] <GuybrushThreepwo> the softward i am trying to run was a playstation 2 emulator. the default graphics card didnt support everything it needed to, so it gave errors
[09:07] <GuybrushThreepwo> for ATI radeon 7700 something G
[09:07] <ubuntu_or_arch> oh
[09:07] <ubuntu_or_arch> it is ok
[09:07] <ubuntu_or_arch> Change to the previous kernel
[09:07] <nafg_> Will the desktop start while upstart scripts are still running?
[09:08] <GuybrushThreepwo> i haven't done anything to my kernel at all
[09:08] <ubuntu_or_arch> When you boot press SHIFT key
[09:08] <ubuntu_or_arch> okay
[09:08] <ubuntu_or_arch> PS2 ..
[09:08] <ubuntu_or_arch> Which ATI driver do you use?
[09:09] <GuybrushThreepwo> I pasted that a second ago
[09:09] <GuybrushThreepwo> let me scroll up
[09:09] <Calinou> ATI is dead, you mean AMD
[09:09] <GuybrushThreepwo> ok, AMD then
[09:09] <Wiz_KeeD> How do I few all proccesses running on port 80?
[09:09] <Calinou> GuybrushThreepwo, there is no "radeon 7700G"
[09:09] <GuybrushThreepwo> I don't remember the exact number.....
[09:09] <GuybrushThreepwo> It was in 7700s
[09:09] <Wiz_KeeD> anyone?
 and that requires an actual driver
[09:10] <Calinou> there IS an actual driver installed by default
[09:10] <Calinou> GuybrushThreepwo, lspci | grep VGA
[09:10] <Calinou> do that in a terminal
[09:10] <GuybrushThreepwo> Each time you guys want me to do anyting in a terminal
[09:10] <GuybrushThreepwo> I need to reboot into ubuntu in recovery mode, and then reboot back into windows
[09:10] <GuybrushThreepwo> fyi
[09:11] <Rory> GuybrushThreepwo: Do you not have access to another device to IRC on? a phone?
[09:11] <GuybrushThreepwo> mmm
[09:12] <GuybrushThreepwo> my other laptop has hardware issues and I can't count on it. hard drive problems or something
[09:13] <GuybrushThreepwo> So I can go reboot. But what do you want me to do? I was told to run dmesg by the other guy, so I did and here's that:
[09:13] <GuybrushThreepwo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6483254/
[09:14] <Togusa_> GuybrushThreepwo!

[09:16] <GuybrushThreepwo> I just want my ubuntu working again in visual mode without me having to back up everything i want to keep
[09:19] <nafg_> How can I write a startup script that will finish before the desktop environment greeter?
[09:19] <foo357> Hello, I have a Ubuntu 12.04 (Server edition) machine that I want to create a disk image of. There's only one disk and it's  partitioned like this: http://pastebin.com/U8at82BE
[09:19] <lordcrusader> installed lamp using tasksel and i need to rewrite module for htaccess  file. so followed this steps http://askubuntu.com/questions/48362/how-to-enable-mod-rewrite-in-apache as in the answer steps. but in which i cannot find a file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[09:20] <Rory> lordcrusader: Are there any files in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ?
[09:20] <foo357> The disk is encrypted as extensively as possible (using the installer wizard)
[09:21] <lordcrusader> but instead i have two files name called 000.default.conf and default-ssl.conf
[09:21] <foo357> I thought about using 'partimage' but it doesn't support ext4, so I guess I have to find another tool
[09:21] <Rory> lordcrusader: use 000=-default.conf
[09:21] <GuybrushThreepwo>  I have an AMD Radeon HD 7660G Discrete-Class graphics card. I tried installing fglrx. The loading screen filled all 5 red dots and then froze. So I came back here for help. They had me purge that stuff and install xserver-xord-video-ati and xserver-xord-video-radeon. since I did that, instead of freezing at loading screen, the display shuts off completely
[09:22] <GuybrushThreepwo> One guy told me to use dmesg. Here's that result when using the command prompt from failsafe graphics mode in recovery: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6483254/

[09:23] <DF3D2> is there anyway to stop rsync from re-downloading files it has alrdy downloaded, trying to setup a couple scripts to do somethingbut running in to a loop
[09:23] <Sh1G3rU> lol enter as punctuation
[09:23] <Rory> lordcrusader: please ask the #httpd channel for help configuring Apache web server
[09:23] <vasile_> hi all
[09:23] <Rory> DF3D2: That is the default behaviour for rsync I believe
[09:23] <vasile_> i have a question
[09:24] <aaronmehar> Hello Ubuntu people
[09:24] <DF3D2> Rory: yeah, what I meant is the files are archives and they are being downloaded and extracted automatically, then the archives are deleted. I don't want them re-downloaded
[09:24] <ManDrakis> we arent people we are better then that
[09:24] <lordcrusader> rory thanks but i found default setting http://paste.ubuntu.com/6483396/
[09:25] <Rory> DF3D2: Can you give me an example, it's too early...
[09:25] <Sh1G3rU> lol ManDrakis
[09:25] <Sh1G3rU> we are drones
[09:25] <vasile_> i think my nvidia card is not suported very well or my monitor because sometimes the pc freezes and on the screen only white and black lines what to do to corect the problem
[09:25] <Sh1G3rU> :P
[09:25] <DF3D2> Rory: uhm I just did
[09:25] <aaronmehar> Hello Ubuntu Geeks / Lords /  Wizards / Gods??
[09:25] <aaronmehar> better? :)
[09:25] <vasile_> maybe is the monitor because sometimes it wont stay at 1280x1024
[09:25] <Sh1G3rU> aaronmehar, nope i am a drone
[09:26] <aaronmehar> a drone? cool... are you running ubuntu to operate?

[09:27] <VlanX> hello, a suggestion guys... what is the lightest version of ubuntu i can find? I have a 1.6 atom ghz to power up
[09:28] <buu> Ok, what obvious thing am I missing here: I'm attempting to do: ssh -R<IP_ADDRESS>:333:internal-machine:333 user@remotemachine
[09:28] <DJones> !lubuntu | VlanX
[09:28] <DJones> VlanX: I would look at either Lubuntu or Xubuntu for a low spec machine
[09:28] <VlanX> DJones: can i install it w/ unetbootin?
[09:29] <aaronmehar> VlanX: lubuntu
[09:29] <aaronmehar> VlanX: yeah.. what OS are you using now?
[09:29] <aaronmehar> I like to dd my ISO files to a mem stick
[09:29] <DJones> VlanX: I've never used unetbootin, but I would assume so, all it is is Ubuntu with LXDE rather than Unity
[09:29] <Sh1G3rU> GuybrushThreepwo, are you in a shell?
[09:29]  * ObrienDave always votes for Xubuntu
[09:30] <VlanX> aaronmehar: on this pc? ubuntu 12.10
[09:30] <VlanX> I hope wine will work in lubuntu
[09:30] <GuybrushThreepwo> Sh1G3rU: I can only load into command prompt
[09:30] <aaronmehar> then " sudo dd if=myiso.iso of=/dev/memstick bs=1M"
[09:31] <GuybrushThreepwo> if i choose failsafe graphics mode in recovery, then try to run, it's the only way i can see to go into command prompt
[09:31] <GuybrushThreepwo> otherwise, i'd like to be loading into the default GUI that comes with ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[09:31] <GuybrushThreepwo> except it doesn't load
[09:31] <GuybrushThreepwo> or it does but with no display. can't tell

[09:46] <fizk_> Hi, I'm trying to configure dhcpd to set the root-path based on MAC address
[09:47] <ManDrakis> fizk_: MAC adresses are easelly spoofed
[09:47] <fizk_> ManDrakis: that's ok, this is in a private lab
[09:48] <fizk_> everything i've tried has failed to make the match, does anyone know how to do this?
[09:48] <Payton> fizk_: do what?
[09:48] <Rory> aaronmehar: You're wrong and #ubuntu-offtopic will tell you why
[09:48] <fizk_> Payton: I'm trying to configure dhcpd to set the root-path based on MAC address
[09:48] <sandman13> why this error occurs? Error:- Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)

[09:49] <Payton> fizk_: Yes, but what is your problem?
[09:49] <fizk_> Payton: it's simply not matching
[09:50] <fizk_> if dhcpd found the match, it would set the root-path and my server would boot via iscsi
[09:51] <Payton> fizk_: Sorry i'm not good with protocal stuff
[09:51] <Payton> fizk_: :/
[09:51] <fizk_> np
