[13:56] <ladylee> shouldnt it?
[13:56] <ladylee> but its not booting from there
[13:56] <FloodBot1> ladylee: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:56] <usr13> ladylee: Is it trying to boot from USB?
[13:56] <ladylee> its showing a UEFI path
[13:56] <ladylee> yes
[13:57] <ladylee> UEFI BOOT ubuntu path something written when i go to f12 boot options
[13:57] <usr13> ladylee: Then you have installed grub to MBR of USB by mistake?
[13:57] <ladylee> i have to click the uefi booth path ubuntu to get on there
[13:57] <ladylee> i have no idea but i want to start from the scratch
[13:57] <ladylee> im so confused rite now :(
[13:57] <baja> com
[13:57] <ladylee> mageia did the deed though.
[13:58] <usr13> !grub2 | ladylee
[13:58] <ladylee> right now i used gparted on the same USB that i used to convert to ext 2 extension
[13:58] <jephb> hi, i am trying to configure my local samba sharing server, i am little confused about user settings.actually when they talk about user settings are they reffering to local users in created directly in server or they are reffering to users in window client who will be using this server?
[13:58] <ladylee> to install ubuntu on it as a live cd
[13:58] <ladylee> and install all over again
[14:00] <jony_easyrider> how can I prevent Ubuntu to wait for my action after a power loss for check the filesystem?
[14:01] <compdoc> jephb, it seems to work better if you create the same users and passwords as those who will log in
[14:01] <jony_easyrider> I use that PC as a remote desktop so it hasn't a monitor or a keyboard
[14:01] <usr13> jephb: It's actually both, but the windows user has to have login credentials unless you do away with authentication.
[14:03] <jephb> so my problem is, when i create the same users how will they log in the system with graphical interface from remote computer with they credentials ?
[14:04] <jephb> i only know how to login using command line using ssh protocal but i don't how the user who is not familial with command line will do?
[14:05] <usr13> jephb: You'll be prompted for login.
[14:06] <jephb> ok
[14:06] <usr13> jephb: When you click on the share, a window will come up and you'll have the opportunity to supply login credentials.
[14:06] <jephb> ok
[14:08] <usr13> jephb: guest ok = yes   #In the config gives access without password. I *think*....
[14:09] <usr13> jephb: guest ok = no   #Causes share to require password.  I *think*...
[14:09] <usr13> no is default
[14:11] <haopeng5566> hello
[14:12] <usr13> security = user  vs  security = share
[14:20] <usr13> I hope jephb comes back, I was all wrong.....

[14:30] <vl4kn0> Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 alongside Windows7, but when I open up disk management, it complains about the disk containing GPT table and does not recognize by partition. Is there any way to fix this?
[14:31] <liquidstone> please answer my question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/340630/problem-resolving-websites
[14:34] <Kristof_D> I've just installed 12.04 and although flash is preinstalled in firefox, it doesn't seem te be working (empty black box instead of youtube video). What would be the easiest way to fix this?
[14:35] <jhutchins> vl4kn0: I'm not familiar with the installer, but parted (gparted) can manage GPT disks; you could pre-partition it then do a manual install.
[14:35] <hero100> Kristof_D, install chrome :)
[14:35] <lgc> Hi, is there a partition repair tool in the live CD?
[14:35] <OerHeks> Kristof_D, flash is not preinstalled in flash, only in chrome. install ubuntu-restricted-extras for flash, java and other web plugins
[14:35] <OerHeks> err Kristof_D, flash is not preinstalled in firefox
[14:36] <Kristof_D> OerHeks, hero100, thanks I'll give both a try
[14:38] <vl4kn0> jhutchins: gparted isn't much help since it doesn't recognize the parition table.
[14:39] <OerHeks> lgc, you can install any tool in a live environment, like testdisk
[14:40] <lgc> OerHeks: what do you mean by install? Can I install anything in the live CD ?
[14:41] <Kristof_D> lgc, yes you can
[14:41] <OerHeks> lgc, sure, but it stays in ram, and will be lost when you reboot
[14:42] <OerHeks> lgc, else use the gparted live cd, which has testdisk included
[14:42] <lgc> Oh, I see, Kristof_D, OerHeks. So what is the right tool to try and repair a partition that will not boot linux? (I reinstalled Windows in /dev/sda1).
[14:43] <OerHeks> lgc, depends, what is the problem exactly?
[14:44] <OerHeks> lgc maybe alll you need is to re-install the ubuntu grub2 bootloader
[14:44] <Extreminador> guys is there any problem with the registering thing in ubuntu ?
[14:44] <Extreminador> i was not able to register my self
[14:45] <lgc> OerHeks: I reinstalled Windows and lost access to Ubuntu. How can I reinstall grub2 if I can't boot to Ubuntu?
[14:46] <Pici> Extreminador: what 'registering thing'?
[14:47] <Extreminador> Pici  Sorry, something just went wrong in Ubuntu One.
[14:47] <Extreminador> We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.
[14:47] <Extreminador> after this i have a error id... if you need
[14:47] <Pici> Extreminador: You may want to try asking in #ubuntuone
[14:47] <Extreminador> i was on the registered page at https://login.ubuntu.com/+new_account
[14:47] <Kristof_D> lgc, no panic, reinstalling windows overwrote your MBR. Reinstalling grub from the live cd will fix it just fine
[14:47] <Extreminador> ahh thanks Pici
[14:47] <Kristof_D> lgc, just a sec, I'll have to look up how to do that :)
[14:48] <lgc> OK, Kristof_D, thanks.
[14:48] <OerHeks> lgc maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows // https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing

[15:23] <alberto> Hi
[15:23] <linuxuz3r> macbook ill find you a good tutorial on how to install ubuntu on a mac
[15:23] <macbook> Tectu: nvidia-xconfig
[15:23] <Tectu> ActionParsnip, macbook, is that a GUI tool or some console one? because currently I just have the terminal
[15:23] <macbook> linuxuz3r: i can bott it, but i have no clue how to connect to the internet
[15:24] <macbook> Tectu: terminal
[15:24] <alberto> Tectu your GTX660 is for desktop?
[15:24] <Tectu> macbook, I don't even have that installed.
[15:24] <macbook> run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[15:24] <Tectu> alberto, yes, an EVGA
[15:24] <macbook> install it?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Tectu: its a terminal one.
[15:24] <Tectu> should I install nvidia-xconfig or is that part of some other package?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Tectu: does your CPU have an ivybridge gpu in as well?
[15:25] <Tectu> ActionParsnip, yes
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Tectu: as in, a switchable gpu
[15:25] <macbook> Tectu: you can use apt-search for that
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Tectu: did you install bumblebee
[15:25] <macbook> i think it's a own package
[15:25] <macbook> but.. i dont know
[15:25] <macbook> linuxuz3r
[15:25] <Tectu> ActionParsnip, not that I know of. I just installed the latest ubuntu 13.06 and made the updates. No manual stuff so far
[15:25] <alberto> when you boot your OS it load the low graphic mode? If it yes you can restore the default configuration and reboot...
[15:25] <lgc> OerHeks: when I do 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda3' from the live CD it says "cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev/mounted?)".
[15:26] <explodes> This virtualbox image isn't letting me ping google.com, but it can ping, say, <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:26] <Tectu> alberto, I have to check on that. A dialog pops up telling me that it had problems and that it will try to boot in low graphics mode. Then comes some list where I can choose different settings. Then I take the first (Which is low graphics mode) but it falls back into the shell, no x at all
[15:26] <explodes> So, I added "dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>" to each interface in /etc/network/interfaces file
[15:27] <Tectu> alberto, ActionParsnip... fun fact: when I reboot again, it boots correctly.
[15:27] <Tectu> not sure if I am in low graphics mode now
[15:27] <lgc> Kristof_D: are you there?
[15:27] <Samul> hi all
[15:27] <Samul> I've a serious problem: I was installing ubuntu on a PC where already was windows 7
[15:28] <alberto> Can you try to reboot the OS and boot the recovery mode from the GRUB
[15:28] <Samul> but when I put the live cd
[15:28] <Kristof_D> lgc, yes?
[15:28] <Samul> the option is install ubuntu inside of windows 7 instead of install ubuntu at side of windows 7
[15:28] <Samul> if I select this option, computer restarts and nothing happens
[15:28] <Tectu> alberto, how can I find out if it works correctly now or if I am in some sort of low graphics mode?
[15:28] <baphomet1> Hello all!  does anyone know of a sata card, like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124064, that will work for sure in Ubuntu?  The card I linked says it will work in linux but it didn't work in Ubuntu.  I am using 12.04.3
[15:28] <Samul> can someone help me?
[15:28] <baphomet1> Samul, with what?
[15:28] <lgc> Kristof_D: when I do 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda3' from the live CD it says "cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev/mounted?)".
[15:29] <Samul> baphomet1: ?
[15:29] <baphomet1> Samul, you asked if someone could help you, I asked you with what?
[15:29] <baphomet1> Samul, ask your question.
[15:29] <Samul> I already asked it!
[15:29] <baphomet1> Samul, I may not be able to help you, but someone can
[15:30] <Samul> I already asked my question
[15:30] <baphomet1> Samul, I didn't see it.  could you repeat it please?
[15:30] <Samul> I was installing ubuntu in a PC where already is windows 7
[15:30] <Samul> but the option was install ubuntu inside windows 7
[15:30] <Tectu> ActionParsnip, I'm not an ubuntu user - I am just installing this for a friend. How does ubuntu handle GPU drivers? did it already install the correct proprietary driver for nvidia or do I have to install it manually with   apt-get install nvidia?
[15:31] <baphomet1> do you mean "alongside"?
[15:31] <Samul> instead of install ubuntu keeping windows 7
[15:31] <alberto> I don't know cause when my laptop's nvidia graphic card not works correctly i reboot into low graphics mode and restore the configuration and when reboot it return to works properly
[15:31] <Samul> if I select that option, computer restarts
[15:31] <baphomet1> it sounds like it is trying to use WUBI.  which version of Ubuntu?
[15:32] <Kristof_D> lgc, not sure. You could try manually mounting the filesystem first. From inside the livecd, try and look at some files in your ubuntu partition. That should mount it. Otherwise try the graphical repair tool
[15:32] <ashoksahoo> hello, I have an embeded with a thermal printer, having some issues while installing the drivers

[15:33] <lrojas> can somebody help?
[15:33] <baphomet1> Samul, which version of ubuntu? it sounds like it is trying to use WUBI, but I don't know why it would.  It should only prompt you for that if you are in windows and pop the live CD in.  Alternatively, you could select 'something else' and set up the partitions manually
[15:33] <lrojas> i just ran throught the setup again ( after uninstalling the tools ), when i get to the part where the installer  runs /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl, i get the error: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/075ea5f9db577cdfc9db
[15:33] <ashoksahoo> error is no rules to -lcupsimage

[15:34] <baphomet1> Samul, hold on.  let me grab a link for you
[15:34] <alberto> lrojas can i help you"
[15:34] <alberto> ?
[15:34] <skrite> hey all
[15:34] <alberto> Hy skrite

[15:35] <baphomet1> http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/05/17/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7/ follow those. you can change the steps as necessary.  I prefer grub to BCD.
[15:35] <Samul> the only option I have is install ubuntu inside windows 7
[15:35] <Samul> instead of keeping windows 7
[15:35] <Samul> and if I select it, computer restarts
[15:35] <Samul> nothing happens, then
[15:35] <baphomet1> Hello all!  does anyone know of a sata card, like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124064, that will work for sure in Ubuntu?  The card I linked says it will work in linux but it didn't work in Ubuntu.   But I forgot to make the config so I have a text-only bash or something here atm.. any ideas how I can 1) boot my linux from bash or 2) get the graphical interface?
[15:37] <baphomet1> Samul, follow that info.  I have used it more than once and it works fine
[15:37] <baphomet1> that will certainly get it working
[15:38] <alberto> Can you wait a minute please?
[15:38] <lrojas> alberto: sure
[15:38] <alberto> Have you a mac?

[15:51] <Jishaxe> I'm following these instructions: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tired-of-windows-8-how-to-dual-boot-windows-ubuntu/ and http://apcmag.com/how-to-dual-boot-windows-8-and-linux.htm
[15:52] <Jishaxe> However, when I boot to the USB and try to install it, the Ubuntu installer doesn't show any partitions whatsoever.
[15:52] <Jishaxe> It's just empty.
[15:52] <Jishaxe> When I try to press Add, or any other button, the program crashes.
[15:52] <Jishaxe> Does anyone have any clue?
[15:54] <usr13> Jishaxe: Not so sure about EasyBCD  Maybe it works but don't think anyone here will know much about it.  You can try but, I would suggest just grub.
[15:54] <usr13> !grub2 | Jishaxe
[15:54] <usr13> ok, gotta go
[15:54] <gabriel-shatana> someone can check whats it's wrong here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/6059202/
[15:54] <Jishaxe> usr13: I'd optimally like to use Windows' bootloader but the problem is I haven't even got that far.
[15:55] <Jishaxe> usr13: The Ubuntu installer itself crashes. It won't show any partitions.
[15:59] <Jishaxe> I seem to be getting this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/302215/installing-ubuntu-does-not-recognize-partition-and-crashes
[15:59] <Jishaxe> I haven't created any partitions myself. I haven't even touched them.
[16:01] <Jishaxe> I'm going to try Wubi.
[16:01] <cookiemon5ter> is there a place to get an ubuntu torrent download
[16:02] <tmmunq> from the ubuntu downloads page
[16:02] <bazhang> !torrents | cookiemon5ter
[16:03] <cookiemon5ter> bazhang: i found what i was looking for here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[16:03] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, why not try creating them yourself?
[16:04] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: I don't feel comfortable at this point. I haven't used Linux/touched anything to do with partitions in years
[16:04] <Jishaxe> I'm looking for alternative solutions right now. Apparently I can't use Wubi with my stock Windows 8 laptop
[16:08] <BluesKaj> Jishaxe, wubi is no longer supported with the newer ubuntu releases
[16:08] <awallin> hi all, is there a PPA with a preempt-rt kernel for raring (13.04) ?
[16:08] <bazhang> awallin, do a ppa search at launchpad
[16:08] <Nach0z> wait there's no more wubi?
[16:08] <Nach0z> whaaaaaat
[16:09] <equus> Jishaxe,  have you considered using a virtual machine for Linux
[16:09] <BluesKaj> !wubi
[16:09] <Jishaxe> So no-one has a clue why the installer is not showing anything and crashes when I try to continue on stock Windows 8 laptop, Ubuntu 13.04?
[16:09] <awallin> bazhang: right... just wondering if there is a known-good PPA everyone who wants preempt-rt uses
[16:10] <Jishaxe> equus: I suppose I could, but it's irritating that I'd have to.
[16:10] <BluesKaj> !uefi |Jishaxe
[16:10] <bazhang> awallin, best to just search, PPA are not supported and polling the channel is not the way to go
[16:11] <Jishaxe> BluesKaj: I understand that I may have UEFI but I haven't even gotten to the stage where I would make that decision. The _installer_ _crashes_
[16:12] <yigal> Jishaxe: unfortunately some graphics cards don't work well with Ubuntu
[16:12] <yigal> Jishaxe: likely this is the issue
[16:12] <BluesKaj> Jishaxe, check your bios/uefi and install in uefi mode
[16:12] <yigal> Jishaxe: what graphics card are you using, it would be good to rule this out
[16:12] <Jishaxe> yigal: The display is fine, unless you mean that could be the cause of the installer crashing
[16:12] <yigal> Jishaxe: yes
[16:13] <apg> Guys, is there anybody notice deleting behaviour in Miro?
[16:13] <yigal> apg: what is Miro deleting?
[16:13] <yigal> apg: that's worrisome
[16:13] <apg> My old video podcast
[16:13] <Jishaxe> yigal: Nvidia GT 430m
[16:13] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, hang on
[16:14] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, you are dual booting with windows 8?
[16:14] <uhpnou> this simple upstart job (http://pastebin.com/VchNK106) prevents lightdm to shutdown or restart my notebook, any idea why?
[16:14] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: I'm attempting to.
[16:14] <uhpnou> hello everybody
[16:14] <apg> I have set so that no old video should be expire after certain amount of time
[16:14] <yigal> Jishaxe: which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install?
[16:14] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, ok hang on
[16:15] <Jishaxe> yigal: 13.04
[16:15] <apg> But it still deletes my old videos
[16:15] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, follow this
[16:15] <baphomet1> http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2013/03/12/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu-12-04-in-uefi-mode/
[16:15] <Jishaxe> BluesKaj: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI Can you point me to where the instructions are to install in "UEFI" mode?
[16:15] <baphomet1> the procedure is the same
[16:15] <lgc> Kristof_D: Hey, it worked!
[16:15] <__marco> Hello, how can I build a dependency tree of a packages? I need to install twisted 12.0.0 in ubuntu 12.04 and all its dependencies
[16:16] <yigal> Jishaxe: the idea, in general with installers that don't work automatically is to throw the right grub parameters there way to allow the boot to go through
[16:16] <Pici> __marco: are you building twisted from source?
[16:16] <__marco> Pici: no
[16:16] <yigal> Jishaxe: s/there/their excuse me
[16:16] <apg> yigal: my old podcast videos
[16:16] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: At a skim, this seems to be identical to the instructions I was following previously, where the installer doesn't detect any partitions whatsoever and then crashes. But I will read it carefully
[16:17] <linuxuz3r> !seen macbook
[16:17] <linuxuz3r> ~seen macbook
[16:17] <__marco> Pici: I want to build a minimalistic repository with twisted 12.0.0 and its dependencies
[16:17] <Pici> linuxuz3r: there are no seen commands.
[16:17] <yigal> Jishaxe: what is the file system partitioned as NTFS?
[16:17] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, give it a shot.  I have installed along side windows 8 and it was strange (had to use the bios boot menu to get to the ubuntu partition) but it worked.
[16:17] <__marco> Pici: taken from official repostories
[16:18] <yigal> apg: do you know the location of where the material was?
[16:18] <yigal> apg: and it's no longer there?
[16:18] <Jishaxe> yigal: I'm not sure. I'm going to read through this article before continuing
[16:18] <Pici> __marco: apt-rdepends will walk the package dependencies recursively and give you a list.
[16:19] <apg> yigal: Yep
[16:19] <__marco> Pici: thanks, exactly what I needed
[16:20] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: I'm stuck at step B.
[16:20] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: The actual Ubuntu installer that you are given on the live CD fails to list any partitions and crashes
[16:21] <Jishaxe> on second thoughts, maybe I should use a virtual machine instead of messing around with this
[16:21] <shri> how to install downloaded setups in ubuntu??
[16:21] <baphomet1> what is step b?
[16:21] <baphomet1> creating the partitions?
[16:22] <Extreminador> is there any default image editor in ubuntu ?
[16:22] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: "B. Install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows 8. "
[16:22] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: this is the screen I should get: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/UbuntuEFI5-600x407.png
[16:23] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, and what are you actually getting?
[16:23] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: Instead, there are no partitions listed and the installer crashes
[16:23] <shri> can anyone help me?
[16:23] <Jishaxe> crashes when i try to press Add or similar
[16:23] <baphomet1> does it throw an error?
[16:23] <baphomet1> shri, what's going on?
[16:24] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: From memory, it says there was an internal error and offers me the chance to send it. There is no details or anything to indicate extra information
[16:24] <shri> baphomet1, : i want to install eclipse
[16:24] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, if you click send it will actually bring you to a screen that will show you the problem.  try it and let us know the error
[16:25] <baphomet1> shri, ok.  what happens if you try?
[16:25] <Jishaxe> baphomet1: Okay, I must have missed that. I'll be back in a mo
[16:25] <baphomet1> Jishaxe, no worries.
[16:25] <shri> baphomet1, : i have downloaded setup and now i don't know how to install it   ..?
[16:26] <tarlll> hi, need some help, please! have a question about compiling linux/android kernel, where should i ask? sorry, iam newbie here
[16:26] <Pici> tarlll: #android
[16:26] <tarlll> thanks
[16:26] <POo_mec87> if it's tar first extract it and then make it excutable shri
[16:31] <shri> POo_mec87, thanks
[16:33] <POo_mec87> shri installed it???
[16:36] <xJamie> hello, does anyone know why my fresh ubuntu installion is a blank screen?
[16:37] <POo_mec87> maybe graphic drivers
[16:37] <daftykins> xJamie: do you have nvidia graphics?
[16:37] <daftykins> try...
[16:37] <daftykins> !nomodeset
[16:37] <xJamie> No. This is an amd apu.
[16:38] <xJamie> The installation is on a vmware.
[16:38] <xJamie> I downloaded and installed the ubuntu mini and the lxde and when I login, the screen is blank.
[16:39] <POo_mec87> why install just load it
[16:39] <GeorgeTorwell> How come my software updater hasn't given me any updates in over 2 weeks? Every time I run it it says everything is up to date, and I dont even see it runnning automatically anymore
[16:39] <GeorgeTorwell> Did the NSA hack my computer?
[16:40] <daftykins> ¬_¬
[16:40] <daftykins> GeorgeTorwell: all the NSA talk is so last month :(
[16:40] <POo_mec87> lol
[16:40] <clue_h> yes
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> time for some new paranoia
[16:41] <GeorgeTorwell> then explain this
[16:41] <GeorgeTorwell> absolutely no updates
[16:41] <GeorgeTorwell> and it wont even run by itself
[16:41] <GeorgeTorwell> right after I was prompted to make mysteriosu updates to my login, password, and some other system utilities
[16:41] <xJamie> Anyone know what could be wrong, why i have a blank screen after login?
[16:41] <GeorgeTorwell> did everyone else get those too?
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> GeorgeTorwell  try to keep it in one line
[16:42] <clue_h> xJamie, are you using unity with your ubuntu install
[16:42] <xJamie> The de lxde.
[16:42] <POo_mec87> xJamie, I didn't use vmware, I used virtualbox, in vbox u just create a virtual machine and then mount your OS image on it!
[16:43] <njalk> GeorgeTorwell, same issue here
[16:43] <xJamie> No, I used vmware to mount the ubuntu mini and used the desktop lxde. When I login, blue blank creen.
[16:43] <GeorgeTorwell> oh good
[16:43] <GeorgeTorwell> unless the NSA hacked us both, I feel somewhat better
[16:44] <njalk> GeorgeTorwell, but I haven't had time to investigate too much, just tried to switch sources, didn't help
[16:44] <daftykins> GeorgeTorwell: i would recommend running a CLI update
[16:45] <POo_mec87> xJamie , I guess vmware must have a config setup for your OS like VBOX
[16:45] <xJamie> Yeah.
[16:45] <POo_mec87> ok u choosed your OS setting?!
[16:46] <GeorgeTorwell> CLI?
[16:46] <daftykins> command line
[16:47] <daftykins> GeorgeTorwell: so run a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[16:47] <xJamie> The os settings have been chosen. Everything installs fine. When I login, the lxde just shows a blank creen.
[16:48] <POo_mec87> sry I can't find what's the problem :
[16:48] <xJamie> Neither can I.
[16:48] <Arhi> Hello. Can I ask question about Kubuntu? :P
[16:48] <POo_mec87> try other OS
[16:49] <Arhi> but i like Kubuntu, but have problem with installing 13.04 :|
[16:50] <POo_mec87> try other OS,  xJamie, maybe it's a your image problem, or try another desktop
[16:50] <xJamie> I don't have another desktop connected to try and what other distro can i use which is blank?
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> xJamie  maybe it's a display setting in vmware
[16:51] <xJamie> Why would they be fine up until login?
[16:51] <GeorgeTorwell> daftykins: Calculating upgrade... Done
[16:51] <GeorgeTorwell> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[16:51] <POo_mec87> xJamie, no I mean mount another os like xubuntu, maybe it work
[16:51] <Arhi> huh... so i go try with other installer ;/
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> xJamie  ask again, after you tried changing some display setting
[16:51] <Arhi> but this same OS
[16:52] <GeorgeTorwell> how is that possible? The last version of Ubuntu I used installed updates every day like clockwork
[16:52] <xJamie> There is nothing that I can change.
[16:52] <daftykins> GeorgeTorwell: what version are you using?
[16:53] <njalk> GeorgeTorwell, doesn't work with cli update here either. I've been running 13.04 since it got out
[16:53] <njalk> with updates several times a day
[16:53] <GeorgeTorwell> me too
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> GeorgeTorwell  what was your initial question/issue?
[16:53] <GeorgeTorwell> 13.04
[16:53] <GeorgeTorwell> that software updater is not finding any updates ever
[16:53] <GeorgeTorwell> since at least 2 weeks
[16:54] <GeorgeTorwell> and I find that unusual
[16:55] <Extreminador> guys when i open a software the 2Avant Window Navigator" icons desapear
[16:55] <Extreminador> any ideia hy ?
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> GeorgeTorwell  either your system is up to date, or your sources have been disabled, chack that with system settings > software and updates
[16:55] <Extreminador> i think it has something to do with the icon size ... becasue the icons were choice by me...
[16:55] <XXX> hi
[16:55] <POo_mec87> hi
[16:55] <GeorgeTorwell> no sources have been disabled (intentionally)
[16:56] <XXX> my macbook freezes after grub have been loaded
[16:56] <GeorgeTorwell> could it be the NSA installed a fake software updater and trojaned my system?
[16:56] <njalk> MonkeyDust, i have the same issue, and nothing has been disabled and it's been about 2 weeks since the last time i had an update
[16:56] <POo_mec87> lol, noooooooooooooooooooo

[17:31] <shadej> how to suspend ubuntu from commandline?
[17:32] <imark> shadej: pm-suspend
[17:32] <imark> i think it may need root like that though, the suspend button calls something else that doesn't require root
[17:33] <shadej> imark:ok powerman
[17:33] <shadej> it is not installed by default
[17:33] <Extreminador> guys to remove a rep i need only o remove the file of that rep from /etc/apt/sources.list.d right ?
[17:34] <imark> really, i thought it was, but i mostly use mint nowdays,

[17:36] <Luyin> bbburo: did you apt-get update after adding the ppa?
[17:37] <bbburo> luyin, yes I installed like it says on the sfl homepage. And for gnome ui.
[17:38] <bbburo> Sfl support says the error is located on the ubuntu 12.04 package distro, not at them.
[17:38] <sab3r> I've reinstalled grub like 5 times now and once with the boot-repair and I still get the minimal BASH-like grub screen.. Is there any magic wizard who has somekind of magic tricks up in the sleeve to fix this problem OR a command to get the linux booted
[17:40] <ChogyDan> sab3r: did you save the log from the bootrepair?
[17:41] <shadej> imark: I added pm to the sudoers file so that it will not require root password but not working
[17:42] <imark> shadej: are you still running it with sudo? just minus the password?
[17:43] <shadej> yeah this way sudo pm-suspend
[17:43] <shadej> it waits to accept password
[17:44] <imark> but it works when you use the password that would mean you havent correctly set it up in the sudoers file
[17:44] <shadej> imark: yeah,
[17:47] <shadej> imark: what could be the possible error
[17:48] <shadej> I have edited sudoers file before this time and it was working
[17:48] <ElTimo> Anyone have any luck with ClearPass?
[17:48] <imark> i've never used the sudoers function but i think you have to add a line something like the following
[17:48] <iceroot_> !anyone | ElTimo
[17:49] <ElTimo> iceroot_: That was my question. ClearPass isn't working for me and I wanted to know if anyone has had any success using it.
[17:49] <ElTimo> No need to be a dick.
[17:49] <iceroot_> !details | ElTimo
[17:49] <iceroot_> ElTimo: anyone-questions are just useless
[17:50] <ElTimo> Ok, then let me put it like this
[17:50] <ElTimo> Is there any way to get Clearpass to skip the antivirus check it forces on each connection?
[17:51] <BluesKaj> !virus
[17:51] <ElTimo> BluesKaj: Did you even read the question?
[17:53] <iceroot_> ElTimo: do you have a link for this clearpass?
[17:53] <iceroot_> ElTimo: never heard of it
[17:53] <sab3r> ChogyDan: nope *blushes*
[17:53] <ElTimo> iceroot_: http://www.arubanetworks.com/pdf/products/DS_ClearPass_OnGuard.pdf
[17:53] <sab3r> I got the linux booted from the grub and now I am in some ubuntu built-in shell
[17:53] <iceroot_> ElTimo: thx
[17:53] <ChogyDan> sab3r: shucks, it has A LOT of information
[17:53] <BluesKaj> just got here ElTimo , so when i see someons asking abouit viruses , it's natural to invoke the bot
[17:54] <sab3r> ChogyDan: Yes I know, prolly have to take it the next time..
[17:54] <ElTimo> BluesKaj: Ah ok. I was specifically asking how to trick a program into thinking that I do have antivirus.
[17:54] <iceroot_> ElTimo: as it seems ubuntu is not official supported
[17:55] <iceroot_> ElTimo: so what is the exact error message you got?
[17:55] <ElTimo> It won't run the Java applet.
[17:55] <ElTimo> I'm not at school right now, though. Wouldn't be online if I was.
[17:55] <iceroot_> ElTimo: you are using oracle java? or openjdk?
[17:56] <ElTimo> iceroot_: OpenJDK
[17:56] <ElTimo> 7, specifically.
[17:56] <iceroot_> ElTimo: ever tried oracle java? i was facing similar issue with our HP network connector, which is only usable with oracle java and not openjdk
[17:56] <phantomfav> This is my question: i have installed nautilus in xubuntu, the file manager works great, but the desktop manager doesn't starts ("nautilus -n") even if i have closed the process xfdesktop in the session, anyone know how to force start nautilus for the desktop?
[17:57] <ElTimo> iceroot_: Huh. Didn't think of that. I'll give it a shot next time I have class.
[17:57] <ElTimo> Thanks.
[17:57] <iceroot_> ElTimo: its sad that still oracle java is needed for some stuff :(
[17:57] <ElTimo> I know. I wish Oracle would just drop off the face of the earth.
[17:59] <ChogyDan> phantomfav: why do you want nautilus?
[17:59] <Guest51571> network manager wont change my mtu value how to change it manually
[18:00] <phantomfav> ChogyDan: because i prefer it
[18:00] <ChogyDan> Guest51571: I can change it in my network manager (though Im running the beta)
[18:00] <phantomfav> the xfdesktop process really sucks
[18:00] <Guest51571> i can also but it wont change in ifconfig
[18:00] <ChogyDan> Guest51571: edit, preferences, Wi-Fi
[18:01] <sab3r> If I can get to my initramfs but not to my OS itself.. doest that mean that there is something broken or is there a way to get to the OS?
[18:03] <dbugger> Hey guys. The sounds in my Ubuntu has disappeared! Even though when the log screen appears, I hear the drum sound, when I go to youtube, Spotify or anything else I head nothing
[18:03] <dbugger> can someone pleae help me?
[18:03] <ChogyDan> Guest51571: mmm, maybe file a bug
[18:06] <Slart> dbugger: have you tried running alsamixer in a terminal and messing around with the settings there?
[18:06] <Shakaz> !legacy
[18:06] <Shakaz> !gpt
[18:06] <Shakaz> !uefi
[18:07] <dbugger> Slart, Yes I have. no luck neither
[18:08] <darkangel> Hey will there be a Newer Version of Wine Coming out any time soon?
[18:08] <Slart> dbugger: if you start something that should make noise and then open up the pulseaudio volume control, do you see the program specific volume sliders?
[18:09] <Slart> darkangel: ask in ##winehq , that's the official wine support channel
[18:09] <darkangel> ok thx
[18:09] <dbugger> When zou say the "pulseaudio volume control", you mean the audio icon ny the clock?
[18:10] <Slart> dbugger: hmm.. trying to remember what the default ubuntu looks like.. try opening a terminal and running "pavucontrol"
[18:10] <dbugger> Slart, I dont have it installed. Should I?
[18:10] <delinquentme> join #physics
[18:10] <delinquentme> woops!
[18:11] <phantomfav> This is my question: i have installed nautilus in xubuntu, the file manager works great, but the desktop manager doesn't starts ("nautilus -n") even if i have closed the process xfdesktop in the session, anyone know how to force start nautilus for the desktop?
[18:11] <Slart> dbugger: I don't think it's required but I find it useful
[18:11] <darkangel> ##winehq is dead No 1s there
[18:11] <Slart> dbugger: you can install it by running "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol"
[18:11] <dbugger> ok, installed
[18:11] <Slart> darkangel: sorry.. try #winehq
[18:11] <Slart> dbugger: ok, try running it
[18:12] <Slart> dbugger: you should get a window that looks kind of like this http://community.linuxmint.com/img/screenshots/pavucontrol.png
[18:12] <dbugger> Slart, I do see a bar that is moving constantly, from the audio signal
[18:12] <darkangel> thx alot
[18:12] <Slart> darkangel: you're welcome
[18:13] <Slart> dbugger: ok, so that means that the sound is playing and that pulseaudio sees the source playing.. a good first start
[18:13] <Slart> dbugger: do you have more than one audio device? there should be a drop down menu thing where you can select what device to use for a certain audio stream
[18:14] <Slart> dbugger: oh.. and I hate to ask this.. but you have checked that the cables are connected, speakers are powered, hardware volume turned up and so on?
[18:15] <dbugger> Well, I did hear the drums plays before the login screen, so it makes sense to think that the wiring is not the problem
[18:15] <lee16> ubuntu has literally shut on me
[18:15] <Slart> dbugger: ah.. yes
[18:15] <lee16> i tried installing the grub
[18:15] <dbugger> Slart, I did tried all the devices in the list, and it doesnt help
[18:15] <lee16> but douche said UBUNTU has been blocked
[18:15] <dbugger> I also should mention that this happened right after my Ubuntu system froze down and I had to do a hard reboot
[18:16] <lee16> now its asking me to first install MDadm something
[18:16] <Slart> dbugger: check the "Output Devices" tab on the volume control.. are the volume sliders in the middle? not muted?
[18:17] <Slart> dbugger: you can also try switching the different modes on the output.. "analog output", "stereo output" and so on..
[18:17] <dbugger> Slart, all output devices are at 100%
[18:18] <lee16> how to get the grub2 back . i tried following the grub
[18:18] <zykotick9> dbugger: if you run "cat /proc/asound/cards" do you have more then 1 listed?  if so, is your desired card (that's not working with your browser) something other then card 0?
[18:18] <Slart> dbugger: and the configuration tab might have more settings you can play with.. if it works it should work right away, no need to restart the audio stream
[18:20] <ocooel> RDP to Windows SBS via remmina isn't working. How do I check that it's allowed in firewall or what else it might be..?
[18:20] <dbugger> Oh, that last fixed it
[18:20] <dbugger> thanks! :)
[18:20] <hydruid> ocooel: change the encryption to RDP
[18:21] <hydruid> ocooel: that usually helps
[18:21] <gassho> installing, connected to internet; after rebooting, no internet connection
[18:21] <gassho> using wireless
[18:21] <Slart> dbugger: tadaaa.. =)
[18:21] <dbugger> Thanks guys :)
[18:21] <dbugger> See you all later! :)
[18:21] <Slart> dbugger: you're welcome
[18:21] <A1Recon> I have some pdf files that i want to download with wget..... but the files I want to download are named "www.example.com/xyz_1_ABC.pdf" and i don't want to download the other pdf files(which are named "xyz_2_ABC.pdf") from the site. Now this "ABC" may be  a number or a character(they are in no specific order). What do i type in?
[18:22] <daftykins> A1Recon: what are you stealing en masse :(
[18:22] <A1Recon> daftykins: i am not stealing en masse'
[18:22] <ocooel> hydruid: protocol is set to RDP.
[18:22] <Slart> A1Recon: doesn't wget support some kind of regular expression?
[18:23] <hydruid> ocooel: highlight the server, click the pencil, advanced tab, set security to RDP
[18:24] <Slart> A1Recon: is wget required? or you can use something like curl instead?
[18:24] <A1Recon> Slart: I can download files if they are named numerically and by their type but this time I want the "PDFs" only and the file should have same suffix...
[18:25] <A1Recon> Slart: I thought wget was the de facto download manager for Linux
[18:25] <ocooel> hydruid: it still isn't working.
[18:25] <hydruid> ocooel: did you enable RDP on the windows server?
[18:25] <linuxearth> i don't know but why the pointer of my mouse (in the pc) sometimes changes positions or like wavering in small motion even when I have absolutely not touching it and seeing from a distant location, please do let me know about it, is my pc being compromised or i am safely browsing the internet...? pleae do let me know
[18:25] <hydruid> ocooel: are you getting a specific error?
[18:25] <linuxearth> i don't know but why the pointer of my mouse (in the pc) sometimes changes positions or like wavering in small motion even when I have absolutely not touching it and seeing from a distant location, please do let me know about it, is my pc being compromised or i am safely browsing the internet...? pleae do let me know
[18:26] <gassho> ut says wireless networks device not managed in the w=network menu ;s;
[18:26] <gassho> *it
[18:26] <hydruid> ocooel: on the windows server which option did you choose for RDP? Try the middle option intead of the bottom!
[18:26] <A1Recon> Slart: I am getting stuck at the filename.... that's all
[18:26] <err-or> linuxearth: do you use a mousepad? oder what kind of surface your mouse is on?
[18:26] <clue_h> linuxearth, it happens to me, i dont have a mouspad
[18:26] <clue_h> which is why
[18:27] <linuxearth> yes i am using
[18:27] <linuxearth> mousepad
[18:27] <linuxearth> a black type of mouse pad
[18:27] <Slart> A1Recon: mm.. it is commonly used.. the reason I was asking is because curl has these nice step counters for filenames..  curl http://www.letters.com/file[a-z:2].txt   is one example
[18:28] <linuxearth> err-or and clue_h: i don't know but i have a mouse pad, is my pc and net browsing safe?
[18:28] <ocooel> hydruid: Yes. The error is - Unable to connect to RDP server <server>. Does the Domain need to be filled in..?
[18:28] <clue_h> linuxearth, is it optical or a roller ball gig
[18:28] <hydruid> ocooel: can't help you if you don't answer all my questions. Is RDP enabled on the server, which RDP setting did you choose? Try just putting the IP to connect to it.
[18:29] <Slart> A1Recon: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1426522/bash-script-downloading-consecutive-numbered-files-with-wget this might be useful
[18:29] <A1Recon> Slart: I have used curl before I wasn't sure if i should use it now
[18:29] <linuxearth> clue_h: has the roller
[18:30] <Slart> A1Recon: it's your choice, it was just a suggestion.. is this running in some kind of bash script? can you use a bash loop to do the file fetching?
[18:30] <err-or> linuxearth: don't use stripey pads, or pads with pictures which have a huge color difference. your mouse will think its has walked a lot of miles :D
[18:30] <clue_h> linuxearth, and try different ports on your pc too
[18:30] <A1Recon> Slart: I am just learning up on wget... haven't used bash.
[18:31] <A1Recon> Slart: Thanks!!
[18:31] <clue_h> true, i have a paper back book as a mousepad and when it hits the bar code, it goes crazy haha
[18:31] <linuxearth> err-or: mouse pad is only black coloured simply no pictures on it at all.....clue_h: can i confirm that my pc is safe...i am having the mouse which is not usb based so insertion is only into the designated port which is round type with holes
[18:31] <Slart> A1Recon: hope you find something useful.. good luck!
[18:31] <ocooel> hydruid: That's what the yes is for :-P Just generic RDP, remote desktop protocol. Is that what you mean by rpd settings..?
[18:31] <guest_____> I have a hard drive storage question...
[18:32] <hydruid> ocooel: there are 2 options to enable RDP, one with security and one without....which did you select? can you ping the server?
[18:33] <err-or> linuxearth: your safe ;)
[18:33] <guest_____> I have a FAT32 partition of 466 GB allocated for Windows.  Will a Windows 7 install disk recognize this partition automatically?
[18:33] <JoshStrobl> Is there a community manager around I can speak to?
[18:33] <ocooel> I'll need to wait until I'm in the office to find out the IP and to check the rdp settings on SBS. But this worked with 12.04.2, which wasn't that long ago.
[18:34] <Nabucodonosor> hi peoples
[18:34] <Slart> JoshStrobl: if it's about the irc-channels you can always try #ubuntu-ops
[18:34] <JoshStrobl> it isn't about irc channels
[18:34] <Nabucodonosor> #hackers
[18:35] <Pici> JoshStrobl: If its an Ubuntu question then #ubuntu-community-team would be the right place to ask.
[18:35] <guest_____> I have a FAT32 partition of 466 GB allocated for Windows.  Will a Windows 7 install disk recognize this partition automatically?
[18:35] <Enemtee> anyone installing a linux-distro having problems with voiding warranty on their computers?
[18:35] <JoshStrobl> Pici: It isn't an Ubuntu question.
[18:35] <gassho> how can i manage wifi adapter
[18:35] <JoshStrobl> My question is strictly resolved by a CM
[18:35] <Pricey> JoshStrobl: What's the question?
[18:36] <JoshStrobl> Are you a CM?
[18:36] <OerHeks> guest_____, no, maybe yes, ask in #windows
[18:36] <Pricey> JoshStrobl: No, but if we knew the question we might be able to tell you who can answer it?
[18:36] <JoshStrobl> Then you can't help me.
[18:36] <JoshStrobl> Not being a jerk, just being honest. This really can only be resolved by a CM
[18:37] <Pricey> JoshStrobl: Where is your definition of "cm" taken from?
[18:37] <OerHeks> JoshStrobl, join #ubuntu-community-team #looks like it is the place to be for community related stuff
[18:37] <Enemtee> well, i'll fire off my question again, anyone having problems with voiding warranty when installing a linux-distro? i wonder, cause i'm interested in wiping windows on a computer with warranty and installing a linux-distro instead
[18:37] <Slart> JoshStrobl: this might help.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JonoBacon
[18:38] <Pricey> JoshStrobl: A few people here have given you their best guesses but if you want a better suggestion you need to give us more details.
[18:38] <A1Recon> Slart: They are in no particular order. I need the command for "xyz_1_ABC_2011.pdf". Here "ABC" can be anything a word or letter.
[18:38] <ocooel> hydruid: I'll need to wait until I'm in the office to find out the IP and to check the rdp settings on SBS. But this worked with 12.04.2, which wasn't that long ago.
[18:38] <Slart> A1Recon: are the files listed on some other web page or you're just blindly firing off download requests?
[18:39] <A1Recon> Slart: listed on the same webpage.
[18:39] <ChogyDan> Enemtee: I've heard of such issues, but I think you can just reinstall windows if you need tech support.  I've heard of folks calling tech support with a linux install, then getting rejected.  You can't really expect the tech supports to know about linux, so I think it is understandable
[18:40] <kingjames> any idea when the new GNOME core apps will be available as default in Ubuntu?
[18:40] <|ryan|> Enemtee: in no sane country would it affect your warranty
[18:40] <linuxearth> err-or: thanks but how do i confirm that i am safe...?
[18:40] <|ryan|> at least, from a legal point of view
[18:40] <Enemtee> ChogyDan: Yeah, that's been my thought. So I'll back up Win 7, and reinstall if i need to
[18:40] <linuxearth> how but?
[18:40] <|ryan|> Enemtee: I guess you're in sweden, you should be good.
[18:41] <linuxearth> and if one is not in sweden, he/she cannot be good
[18:41] <linuxearth> ?
[18:41] <Enemtee> hehe
[18:41] <Slart> A1Recon: so you want any file named xyz_1_<anything here>_2011.pdf and the files are listed on a webpage on the same domain, correct?
[18:41] <linuxearth> Enemtee: ;)-
[18:41] <A1Recon> Slart: Yup
[18:41] <linuxearth> err-or: thanks but how do i confirm that i am safe...?
[18:41] <|ryan|> linuxearth: I as long as one is in a first world country, they're probably good
[18:41] <|ryan|> s/I//
[18:41] <Guest61320> My Ubuntu VirtualBox VM asks for my encryption password on boot, takes the password, then gives me some weird screen saying Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.. no init found… then it says BusyBox v1.20.2 and gives a prompt that says initramfs...
[18:41] <wilee-nilee> Enemtee, Not a ubuntu support question, ask the manufacturer.
[18:42] <linuxearth> every place is good, if the person is good, remember that: from a black coloured spects, you would see blackish only...!!
[18:42] <linuxearth> but its okay, good to know that you are good |ryan|
[18:43] <linuxearth> err-or: thanks but how do i confirm that i am safe...?
[18:43] <Slart> A1Recon: this seems like it would be useful http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files
[18:43] <err-or> linuxearth: your kidding? your never safe!! safety is not real. its safe as long as you feel safe :P
[18:43] <linuxearth> err-or: correct but i was talking of my pc, ;)-
[18:43]  * cloudy_nz feels unsafe
[18:44] <Slart> A1Recon: is the page with the pdf's a public page? do you have the url?
[18:44] <Enemtee> wilee-nilee: I understand I should ask the manufacturer. But it's okay to ask if anyone has encountered any problems with voiding warranty while installing linux.
[18:44] <linuxearth> and you may be safe when your pc is not safe and at times, your pc is safe while you are unsafe, happens that also err-or
[18:44] <err-or> linuxearth: how do you mean? i don't get what mouse jumps have to do with safety?
[18:45] <linuxearth> that's why i am aksing how you said previously that i am safe?
[18:45] <wilee-nilee> !ot | Enemtee it isw not okay here
[18:45]  * cloudy_nz puts his PC in a safe
[18:45] <linuxearth> mouse jumps in the sense that my pc being compromised from a remote location
[18:45] <A1Recon> Slart: no on my university's server. Everyone has access from the network. But there are like 20 files and i don't want to rt-click and save each one of them(like the rest of my classmates are doing right now).
[18:45] <err-or> linuxearth: i thought plugin your mouse into the jack with the round design and these 4 pins :D
[18:45] <linuxearth> err-or: mouse jumps in the sense that my pc being compromised from a remote location
[18:45] <err-or> linuxearth: mouse!!
[18:45] <linuxearth> yes i did
[18:46] <linuxearth> but it doens't work
[18:46] <A1Recon> Slart: using their Win7 PCs
[18:46] <A1Recon> :P
[18:46] <linuxearth> A1Recon: thats not a solution
[18:46] <err-or> linuxearth: no one would vnc into your computer... if he knows how to compromise :D
[18:46] <err-or> linuxearth: buy a new mouse, and try again.
[18:47] <linuxearth> err-or: correct but how do i know that it has not been compromised
[18:47] <A1Recon> linuxearth: What's not  a solution...?
[18:47] <linuxearth> err-or: if anything goes wrong you direcltly buy the new things or sort out the one you have with.....>?
[18:48] <linuxearth> A1Recon: using windows
[18:48] <guest_____> How do I create a backup of the current Linux bootloader?  Also, how do I restore it and then fix the bootloader so that both Linux and Windows boots correctly?
[18:48] <linuxearth> using windows is not a solution
[18:49] <linuxearth> if we are facing some issue(s) with any thing we are using, we should try to solve that without rejecting it
[18:49] <linuxearth> like linux
[18:49] <linuxearth> especially for newbies like me
[18:49] <linuxearth> am i right?
[18:50] <linuxearth> ok guys thanks i have to go to work thanks
[18:50] <linuxearth> come later
[18:50] <err-or> you can't
[18:50] <Slart> A1Recon: ah.. I use wget every now and then but it usually involves a lot of trial and error before I get things right.. but a recursive download with the accept options I linked you before would be one way to go.. of course, if this is a one time thing I would look into downloading extensions to firefox, chrome and so on as well.. might be easier for a one time job
[18:51] <wilee-nilee> guest_____, You don't have to back these up they can be reloaded easy with install disc, or in windows a recovery or install disc.

[18:55] <Kchikmo> Hello evry1. On a dual boot with win8 and ubuntu studio 13.04. I had not used the win8 side in months and afetr doing so I've had the following message for about 30 minutes: "An error ocurred mounting /media/System_Reserved. Press S to skip mounting or N for manual recovery" Could this have to do with the fact that win8 was asking me to restart so it could finish some updates? what can I do...
[18:55] <Kchikmo> ...before hanging myself? TIA!!
[18:56] <Guest78332> hello all, this is my first exp with ubuntu
[18:57] <histo> Guest78332: congrats
[18:58] <Kchikmo> Guest78332; Welcome! You'll find here the best support in the world ... you just have to be patient sometimes.
[18:58] <histo> Kchikmo: possbile if the filesystem wasn't umounted properly on the windows side. Just boot back in windows and see
[18:58] <histo> Kchikmo: or fix the filesystem and mount it
[18:58] <Kchikmo> histo: How do I fix it?
[18:59] <Kchikmo> histo: should I press N?? Im scared to death: I've got over 10Gb NOT backedup
[19:07] <gassho> how do i make 12.10 manage a device it ran smoothly from installation but now doesn't
[19:07] <gassho> a wifi adapter
[19:08] <wilee-nilee> gassho, Start by posting the hardware.
[19:09] <wilee-nilee> gassho, run lsusb and identify the adaptor
[19:10] <gassho> found in lspci, not in lsusb ;s;
[19:10] <CyberJacob> Evening folks
[19:11] <gassho> Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter :D
[19:13] <wilee-nilee> gassho, I think that is the internal wifi.
[19:13] <gassho> me2 :>
[19:14] <gassho> ii could get updates and third party software after activating it in the setup but now i got a nice doorstop :/
[19:19] <mentoc> I have noticed lag in both chromium-browser as well as doing apt-get installs. For example, I'm running an apt-get install right now and I'm getting 19 kB/s . Are the servers just slow or is it likely another problem?
[19:20] <duoi> mentoc: how is your general internet connection?
[19:20] <duoi> you might have some caching issues with chromium (from my own experience)
[19:20] <mentoc> duoi, for the most part it's decent at 16-20 mBps
[19:20] <clue_h> mentoc, could try a web ping test on one of the source urls
[19:21] <mentoc> clue_h, ah yes haven't thought of that
[19:21] <mentoc> clue_h, the ping is taking 500+ ms
[19:22] <mentoc> ping google.com is the same
[19:22] <clue_h> what about from your local machine
[19:23] <mentoc> ping localhosts?
[19:23] <clue_h> nope
[19:23] <mentoc> clue_h, what do you mean?
[19:23] <clue_h> this is a long shot anyway but ping from terminal and compare that to a webservice that offers a ping to urls
[19:24] <mentoc> ok
[19:24] <duoi> mentoc: try ping.eu and network-tools.com
[19:25] <mentoc> in my /etc/resolv.conf there is a line for nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> ... instead of <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:27] <Kroach> what packages do I need to play RTSP streams in Totem?
[19:28] <mentoc> I wonder if my ISP is throttling apt-gets
[19:28] <chaotic_good> how get running version of ubuntu again?
[19:28] <wilee-nilee> mentoc, Most likely mine does.
[19:29] <wilee-nilee> chaotic_good, What is your native language?
[19:29] <mentoc> average download speed is 1.7 mbps
[19:29] <clue_h> i didnt know they throttled apt-get ha
[19:29] <duoi> mentoc: can you download curl and investigate?
[19:30] <duoi> sudo apt-get install curl
[19:30] <duoi> then sudo curl -w
[19:30] <mentoc> duoi, what good will curl do? (with all do respect..)
[19:30] <chaotic_good> english my good man
[19:30] <wilee-nilee> its not that it is apt-get itself but the type of stream
[19:30] <chaotic_good> 3.2 means I think 12.04 LTS
[19:30] <chaotic_good> kernel clue
[19:30] <chaotic_good> it says at login but I cant scrollback heh
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> chaotic_good, You are not making sense.
[19:31] <chaotic_good> in deadrat you do cat /etc/redhat-releae
[19:31] <chaotic_good> what command spits out ubuntu - version 12.04 etc
[19:31] <clue_h> chaotic_good, cat /etc/os-release
[19:31] <duoi> mentoc: lets you identify at which point of the process your connection is having issues (see http://askubuntu.com/a/147385)
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> chaotic_good,  uname -a
[19:32] <mentoc> I don't know if this makes a difference, but I'm running the "creative" Ubuntu... Ubuntu Studio
[19:32] <wilee-nilee> chaotic_good, posy tha output of that command
[19:32] <zykotick9> chaotic_good: you might be interested in "lsb_release -a" output

[19:32] <histo> Kchikmo: just skip it for this boot and fix it in windows if you are concerned
[19:33] <slimjimflim> hi, i've got two scripts, one that creates a bridge (br0) between wlan0 and eth0 to create a hotspot: http://pastie.org/8295367 and another that removes it:  http://pastie.org/8295372  but the problem is that when the hotspot is on, i lose connectivity from the ap box.  does anyone know how to fix this?  running xubuntu 12.04
[19:33] <chaotic_good> ah 12.04 precise pangolin
[19:33] <chaotic_good> as I suspected
[19:33] <chaotic_good> heh ha!

[19:37] <jarco> hello people. I have a weird problem. My context menu's (right click menus) stay in the background. They dont jump to front like usual.
[19:39] <mentoc> duoi, Could disabling ipv6 help in my situation? I don't use it, but curl -w foo google.com gives me: curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2607:f8b0:400e:c04::6a: Network is unreachable
[19:41] <duoi> mentoc: continue to follow the rest of that guide i linked
[19:46] <nimbiotics> using ubuntu-stydio 13.04, there are some autostart applications at session and satarup that are just NOT starting, but will work just fine when I execute the command from thunar or the CLI. whay is this happening?
[19:47] <nimbiotics> on a dual bootwith win8 and ubuntu-sudio 13.04; Is it possible to recover part of the win8 partition for linuz? hiw?
[19:47] <wilee-nilee> nimbiotics, as info there is a #ubuntu-studio channel if needed
[19:47] <mentoc> duoi, http://pastebin.com/7U20qeh0
[19:48] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: thx
[19:48] <Slart> nimbiotics: are you saving the output from the commands to a log file?
[19:49] <lawl> !support
[19:49] <wilee-nilee> nimbiotics, Rather small user base. Naming the not starting apps in your queries here as well will be helpful.
[19:49] <lawl>  Hi, my wireless arent working, disabled by hardware (something, my language is Swedish).. until I go into hibernate and then login again, then it starts working instantly!.. could somebody help me? =)
[19:49] <tcb^ll3r> Does apache come installed on 13.04?
[19:49] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: not by default, no
[19:50] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: it's available from the repos though
[19:50] <tcb^ll3r> Slart: software center , or apt-get?
[19:50] <tcb^ll3r> Slart:  the software center apache looked out of date.
[19:50] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: those both end up at the same place.. just more or less lights and lens-flares =) but yes, it's available through both
[19:51] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: ubuntu only does security updates (I don't think the rolling updates are implemented yet but I might be wrong)
[19:52] <wilee-nilee> lawl, Identify the wireless hardware to the channel.
[19:52] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: in most cases you'll be fine with the version in the repos..
[19:52] <tcb^ll3r> Slart: thanks. any other advice on getting LAMP stack going on 13.04 desktop?
[19:52] <Slart> !lamp | tcb^ll3r
[19:52] <jarco> hello people. I have a weird problem. My context menu's (right click menus) stay in the background. They dont jump to front like usual.
[19:52] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: i'm particularly interested in "CopyAgent" from Copy.com, a cloud storage "flavor"
[19:53] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: have a look at those links
[19:53] <tcb^ll3r> Slart:  k, thanks!
[19:53] <Slart> tcb^ll3r: you're welcome
[19:54] <lawl> Sorry, wilee-nilee, could you say more specific what I need to do?
[19:54] <wilee-nilee> nimbiotics, There are many ways to backup and or clone.
[19:55] <wilee-nilee> lawl, Run lspci find the wireless info and include it in your questions.
[19:55] <slimjimflim> hi, i've got two scripts, one that creates a bridge (br0) between wlan0 and eth0 to create a hotspot: http://pastie.org/8295367 and another that removes it:  http://pastie.org/8295372  but the problem is that when the hotspot is on, i lose connectivity from the ap box.  does anyone know how to fix this?  running xubuntu 12.04
[19:57] <lawl>  Hi, my wireless arent working, disabled by hardware (something, my language is Swedish).. until I go into hibernate and then login again, then it starts working instantly!.. could somebody help me? =)
[19:57] <lawl> Its a: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[19:57] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: Im atracted to this service because it offers 15Gb FREE and in less than 24 hours I've already earned 10Gb extras. All I want to do is hace a cloud backup ...but the progrma is just not starting
[19:58] <Slart> lawl: do you get anything suspicious in your dmesg when you boot up?
[19:58] <DWSR> Is there a way to run a command as a particular user AFTER encrypted home directories have been monuted?
[19:58] <DWSR> mounted*
[19:58] <wilee-nilee> nimbiotics, Sure however a 3rd party app, technically not supported here, however you may get help, I have never heard of it.
[19:59] <slimjimflim> lawl if you see your card in lsmod after coming out of hibernate, but not before, then the module might not be loading on boot
[20:00] <wilee-nilee> lawl, here are some threads to look through. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=AR9485+
[20:00] <lawl> slimjimflim, im dualbooting from grub2, could that be the cause of the problem?
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> DWSR:  you mean have the user run a command after they login? or have the system run a command after it has detected the user has logged in and their home is now aviable?
[20:01] <lawl> wilee-nilee, thanks i'll check!
[20:01] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: The application it is just not working right after login, but it does work perfectly when I issue the command ,,, why does it matter if its a 3rd party app or not??
[20:02] <DWSR> Dr_Willis: Ah, encrypted home directories are only mounted on login?
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> DWSR:  as far as i know - yes.
[20:02] <MagePsycho> how to cp files without overwrite prompt?
[20:02] <slimjimflim> lawl: probably not unless you're loading an outdated kernel image
[20:02] <DWSR> Dr_Willis: Mkay.
[20:02] <bekks> DWSR: Yes.
[20:02] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: besides, its not the only only one ... and they are ALL 3rd party apps .... it'd be a prob to get support from all of them...
[20:02] <wilee-nilee> nimbiotics, 3rd parties may not be known here is all, it is just a channel norm.
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> MagePsycho:  theres a option for cp to do that  - it may be you got some alias for cp that makes it ask. (-i i think asks)
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> MagePsycho:  cp --force   might do it
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> MagePsycho:  common alias for cp is 'cp -i' to make it always ask
[20:04] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: i'm not asking for support on the app. The app is not starting, nor giving me an error or warning of any kind
[20:05] <MagePsycho> cp -rn ../folder-to-copy . ?
[20:05] <wilee-nilee> nimbiotics, It is a simple problem here, you don't take your Volkswagen to a ford dealer. I would make sure there is no ubuntu option already.
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> MagePsycho:  try it on a test  case and see..  check 'man cp' also
[20:08] <map> hi 0- im having trouble with openvpn server..how could i chekc if its running on my server?
[20:08] <Slart> nimbiotics: have you tried replacing the app with a script that waits 10 seconds and then starts the app? perhaps it needs something to start up.. network connectivity, some folder mounted or whatever
[20:08] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: Certainly not. But I can take my vw and my ford to my garage and expect them both to start both inside or aoutside of my garage, instead of having one start and ending up pushing the other to make it work
[20:10] <nimbiotics> Slart: no, how can I do that?
[20:10] <Slart> nimbiotics: this program you're trying to autostart.. it's a file somewhere that is being run, right?
[20:11] <nimbiotics> Slart: yes
[20:11] <Slart> nimbiotics: rename that file and create a script with the name instead.. make it do the commands "sleep 10; your_renamed_file"
[20:12] <map> :
[20:12] <skorasaurus> hi, the desktop entry that I created - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6060176/ does display in the unity launcher, but it when I click on it, the program will not load. any idea how to fix this ?
[20:12] <Slart> nimbiotics: that way it will first wait 10 seconds.. and then try to run the original file.. that might make it work, even though it is kind of crude
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> skorasaurus:  askubuntu.com and i think webupd8 or omgubuntu blog sites have guides on getting sublime working  with a proper launcher file for an example
[20:13] <nimbiotics> wilee-nilee: Thanks Slart, I'm sure you are in the right track. Will google more on wait, try, logout/in and be back!!
[20:13] <cyberhack> have any method for hacking remote pc from google chrome
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> skorasaurus:  just a guess.. but id bet the spaces in the directory/path names are causing an issue
[20:13] <Slart> nimbiotics: good luck
[20:13] <wilee-nilee> cyberhack, wrong channel
[20:13] <Slart> cyberhack: wrong channel
[20:14] <cyberhack> why ?
[20:14] <map> i did service openvpn start and it creates tun0
[20:14] <Pici> !illegal | cyberhack
[20:14] <Dr_Willis> cyberhack:  troll elsewhere please. this is ubuntu support.
[20:14] <skorasaurus> Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll check that out.
[20:14] <Slart> cyberhack: this channel doesn't do illegal or even questionable stuff
[20:14] <wilee-nilee> cyberhack, take a guess, and read the channel header
[20:14] <cyberhack> aha ok people
[20:14] <cyberhack> sorry
[20:17] <map> can someone lend a hand
[20:18] <wilee-nilee> !patience | map
[20:19] <Slart> map: never used openvpn myself.. just be patient and repeat your question every 15 minutes or so (the entire question).. you can try other channels as well or use the time to add relevant facts to your question so people don't have to interrogate you =)
[20:20] <map> ok thanks :)
[20:25] <r0bo> i can't start my ubuntu VM. it says that init is missing. i tried fsck after running a live CD. didn't help. gives me a weird prompt. any thoughts?
[20:29] <histo> r0bo: is this an installed system or are you trying to boot the iso?
[20:29] <r0bo> histo: installed
[20:30] <histo> r0bo: was it working previously?
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> r0bo:  and whats this 'weird prompt'
[20:30] <r0bo> histo: yes it was
[20:30] <histo> r0bo: what were you doing when it broke?
[20:30] <map> hmm so i guess it isnt started tried to telnet to localhost;1194 - question is why isnt it starting!
[20:30] <r0bo> Dr_Willis: I can get that exact name for you it was like inittrafms
[20:30] <r0bo> histo: nothing really. it had been turned off over night
[20:31] <map> where would errors be shown for openvpn?
[20:31] <r0bo> the weird prompt was initramfs
[20:32] <r0bo> I also tried starting in Recovery mode
[20:33] <r0bo> it seems to be a common problem, but the solutions I found didn't help. they all say either run fsck, which I did, or add some line saying to "blacklist" something to a config file and I already tried that.
[20:34] <r0bo> here's a thread with the same problem, so you can see what I mean http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1788381
[20:36] <sere> how can i see system apps in the startup applications in unity
[20:36] <anon-124436> I installed ubuntu but I'm pretty sure I need nonfree ethernet drivers to get Internet working. Can I download a .deb or something and keep the drivers locally for offline installation within Ubuntu 13.04?
[20:37] <daftykins> anon-124436: what device is your ethernet controller?
[20:37] <map> anon-124436,  for sure depending what it is
[20:38] <anon-124436> How would I find this? Preferably not within Linux since I'm on Windows right now. :) I can give my motherboard information...? [16:37] <daftykins> anon-124436: what device is your ethernet controller?
[20:39] <daftykins> anon-124436: run device manager and give us the name of your network card

[20:44] <Xfaulz> what's the difference between the linux-libre kernel and THE linux kernel.
[20:44] <daftykins> anon-124436: unfortunately under Windows that's a very generic name, so you'd need to boot into Ubuntu and run "lspci" and tell us what the name comes up as there
[20:44] <Dr_Willis> !vpn
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> there might be some hardware info tools for windiows that would tell you the chipset anon-124436  but  i dont know of any names. #windows may know
[20:45] <sere> Dr_Willis: not sure i just know that unity hides abunch of apps and i remember there is a command to enable the startup app program to see all of them
[20:46] <Maple__> Xfaulz, pretty much everything foss from the original kernel
[20:46] <Dr_Willis> sere:  they are all in ~/.config/autostart/ and /etc/xdg/autostart/        the ones in the xdg dir are not normally shown by default. since the user cant controll them
[20:46] <Xfaulz> oh...
[20:46] <anon-124436> assuming I knew the exact chipset, what would I do after that? [16:45] <Dr_Willis> there might be some hardware info tools for windiows that would tell you the chipset anon-124436  but  i dont know of any names. #windows may know
[20:46] <Dr_Willis> anon-124436:  then we can tell you what drivers. and theres no need to repeate what i just said.

[20:55] <llmatt556> Hi
[20:58] <Ca11um> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on this quite old laptop (made by Rock), but when the installer loads, no window appears, just a grey background and the taskbar
[20:58] <wilee-nilee> Ca11um, Have you made sure the hardware is up for running ubuntu?
[20:58] <Ca11um> Now I've tried it again the installer background has loaded but the taskbar is glitched (white and black bars)
[20:58] <BluesKaj> Ca11um:  how much RAM does it have?
[20:58] <Ca11um> The laptop brand is so obscure I can't find any info about it, but it runs Windows 7 fine
[20:58] <Ca11um> 2 GB
[20:59] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset | Ca11um try this
[20:59] <llmatt556> Anyone else having issues with their GTX 460? Mine lags/stutters really bad on 3D apps (tried several drivers) in 12.04, Mint 13, and Mint 15. It would be great if I could actually get my Linux games working properly.
[20:59] <Ca11um> Thanks
[20:59] <Freeaqingme> Hi folks. In the past I had an application that automatically adjusted my screen brightness to the level of light outside. Would anybody recall the name of such application?
[20:59] <wilee-nilee> Ca11um, Check the sum of the install media as well if needed
[20:59] <MonkeyDust> Ca11um  sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
[21:00] <Ca11um> The same install media installed onto this machine just fine
[21:00] <Ca11um> How do I set nomodeset via unetbootin?
[21:01] <MonkeyDust> Ca11um  use netbootin to burn the usb stick, boot from that stick, set nomodeset
[21:01] <wilee-nilee> Ca11um, One can get to that area on unetbootin, I don't know how though.
[21:01] <llmatt556> Any suggestions on my GTX 460? The games run fine in Windoze.
[21:01] <ss_haze> how to highlight first letter libre office?
[21:02] <wilee-nilee> llmatt556, using Windoze does not give you creds here.
[21:02] <llmatt556> I am trying to get them working on Ubuntu. Thats why I'm here. Been trying for several days now.
[21:02] <wilee-nilee> that spelling that is
[21:03] <ss_haze> llmatt556: which games exactly doesn't work from steam natives?
[21:04] <llmatt556> I have tried Kerbal Spce Program (Non steam version), Left 4 DEad 2, and Garrys mod. All have massive stutter whenever moving the camera and slight stutter otherwise

[21:09] <wilee-nilee> Ca11um, you loading the usb from windows, or what OS?
[21:11] <Ca11um> I got it working with tab, wilee-nilee, thanks
[21:12] <wilee-nilee> cool
[21:20] <SilverSlimer> is it worth encrypting the whole of the hard disk in ubuntu?
[21:21] <gassho> internet works, os upgrade cli command doesn't heheh
[21:22] <wilee-nilee> SilverSlimer, I would not your just asking for a lock out, you can encrypt a folder if you need it that bad.
[21:23] <ejv> SilverSlimer: if you and/or your organization you work for are looking to achieve some sort of PCI compliance, you should review your best practices and organizational goals, then decide if encryption is needed within your environment.
[21:23] <SilverSlimer> wilee-nilee, alright. is it possible to remove the encryption without wiping the drive?
[21:23] <wilee-nilee> no idea
[21:24] <tmmunq> personally i fully encrypt my laptops, but i consider ecryptfs good enough on desktops. the encryption cannot be turned off, you must reformat to remove it
[21:25] <SilverSlimer> thanks tmmunq
[21:25] <SilverSlimer> i didn't realize that encryption caused such a powerful hit to disk performance
[21:25] <SilverSlimer> to be honest, i didn't notice the hit
[21:26]  * ejv facepalms
[21:26] <SilverSlimer> but the article on phoronix makes it seem like i lose 50% of my disk performance.
[21:26] <SilverSlimer> ejv, yes, i know it will obviously cause a hit. i just didn't think it was 50%
[21:26] <BluesKaj> encyption has it;s uses but to most users it can be a royal pita when it mucks up.
[21:27] <Guest33230> ...
[21:27] <SilverSlimer> does it muck up that much?
[21:28] <ejv> no, I'm captain-picarding because I responded to the question from an official enterprise standpoint; but now you sound like an "enthusiast" with a laptop that really just has no idea. I recommend doing your own benchmarking before trusting anything from Phoronix. That site is wildly inaccurate.
[21:28] <BluesKaj> there arew a lot of ppl asking about retrieving encrypted files or disks
[21:28] <BluesKaj> here lately , SilverSlimer
[21:28] <Ca11um> Okay so I've just installed Ubuntu 13.04 onto the laptop, and I now need to set nomodeset. How do I access the GRUB menu?
[21:29] <SilverSlimer> using the nouveau drivers, i think i removed most of the reasons for an ubuntu installation screwing up
[21:29] <Ca11um> I spammed shift when it was booting, it came up with 'GRUB' like an MS-DOS screen, but then continued to boot
[21:29] <SilverSlimer> when it's happened to me in the past, it was always due to proprietary drivers during an upgrade
[21:29] <ejv> The bottom line is that if you can *responsibly manage* your encrypted storage, and have a viable, accompanying backup, that is also responsibly managed, there is no reason to not encrypt your data.
[21:29] <SilverSlimer> i guess i'll just take my chances with encryption then
[21:29] <BluesKaj> Ca11um:  hold the left shift key down right after the bios page
[21:30] <BluesKaj> ejv:  very wise sounding words , but "stuff" happens
[21:30] <jater> WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VSERVER A VPS AND A VDS?..?..?
[21:30] <ikonia> jater: don't use caps
[21:30] <SilverSlimer> ejv: thanks .. the only thing on this hd i'd be upset about losing is my documents folder but that's synced to ubuntu one anyway
[21:30] <ikonia> jater: it will depend where you are hearing these word
[21:30] <jater> IKONIA WHY NOT?..?..?
[21:31] <ikonia> jater: please don't - it's considered shouting,
[21:31] <jater> I AM SHOUTING.
[21:31] <jater> SO YOU CAN HEAAAAAAAR ME!..!..!
[21:31] <jater> okay
[21:31] <Ca11um> Thanks BluesKaj
[21:32] <llmatt556> Ok. Im back. What was the cmd that I was supposed to run? I am the one that was having issues with the GTX 460.
[21:32] <ejv> BluesKaj: "stuff happens" to be people that aren't prepared. Why would stuff happen if you responsibly backup your data?
[21:33] <gassho> HoWaBoUtThIs:)
[21:33] <llmatt556> ?
[21:33] <gassho> cAn We Do ThIs?
[21:33] <gassho> j/k
[21:33]  * gassho stop :P
[21:34] <Ca11um> Are driver updates included in Software Update?
[21:34] <Ca11um> or where do I get drivers from
[21:34] <BluesKaj> ejv:  this discussion is moot to me , i have my data backed , but being a home user encryption isn't really necessary ...I'm referreing to all the ppl in here lateky trying to find out how to rescue their dat a that was on the job
[21:34] <tmmunq> the overhead is pretty minimal. the slowest component is still the disk, in most cases. if you encrypt and ssd, you want to get a modern chip with aes acceleration
[21:34] <ikonia> Ca11um: drivers are in the kernel so yes
[21:35] <johnjohn1011> what kind of modern chip are you talking about? cpu?
[21:35] <llmatt556> Any suggestions on how to get my GTX 460 to stop lagging in Linux games? Currently on Ubuntu 12.04
[21:35] <SilverSlimer> tmmunq, it's encryption + ssd, not sure if the core i3 330m has aes though
[21:35] <tmmunq> yes
[21:35] <BluesKaj> and it's time go have some dinner
[21:35] <ejv> my suggestion is to buy a windows licence and dual boot
[21:36] <SilverSlimer> tmmunq: so i shouldn't worry about disk performance at all?
[21:36] <llmatt556> I have windows but I like Ubuntu :)
[21:36] <tmmunq> http://ark.intel.com/products/47663
[21:36] <ejv> i know that's not a popular idea, but it's not worth the troubleshooting headache when doing gaming
[21:36] <llmatt556> My friend didnt have any trouble with it.
[21:37] <tmmunq> it doesn't. find something better. because the ssd is so much faster than platter, the slow cpu can max out trying to keep up with the io
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> llmatt556:  its possible a newer ubuntu reelase may work better - due to the newer kernel and video drivers
[21:37] <ejv> llmatt556: "your friend"? do you have exactly identical hardware? identical OS? identical packages?
[21:37] <Dr_Willis> llmatt556:  what games are you having the issues with?
[21:38] <usr13> Dr_Willis: llmatt556 If it is a problem with system resources, how about just leaning it up a bit?
[21:38] <llmatt556> I tried Linux Mint 15 and had the same issue. Isnt it based off the latest (or close to latest) Ubuntu?
[21:38] <SilverSlimer> wow, the core i3 330m doesn't support ecc memory. no wonder those ram chips didn't work
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> llmatt556:  i dont keep up with what mint is doing
[21:38] <llmatt556> It is a fresh installed Ubuntu and the games run fine on Windows. Not much to lean up.
[21:39] <llmatt556> Also, the games are KSP, L4D2, and Garrys Mod. Those are all I have tried.
[21:39] <Marlenee> can i use "time' command before "nohup" command to measure the time of command while it runnig after i exit my session ??
[21:39] <SilverSlimer> llmatt556, as a gamer who wants to game through ubuntu, let me give you advice: use windows for games. the stuff available on steam for linux is awful
[21:40] <usr13> llmatt556: Using Unity?
[21:40] <SilverSlimer> metro last light and tropico are supposed to be available but it's not true but either
[21:40] <llmatt556> Usr: yes
[21:40] <usr13> llmatt556: How about lubuntu-desktop?
[21:40] <clue_h> an elder scrolls morrowind is in the pipeline almost there
[21:40] <llmatt556> USR: ? Dont think I have used that.
[21:40] <histo> llmatt556: what video card do you have?
[21:41] <llmatt556> GTX 460
[21:41] <histo> llmatt556: did you install nvidia drivers?
[21:41] <llmatt556> HistO: Yes.
[21:41] <usr13> llmatt556: I don't know, but just try and see.  sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> there is a 'steam desktop' package llmatt556  mentioned at either the omgubuntu or webupd8 blog site. it gives you a new login session that just runs steam. so you have all resources available for games
[21:42] <Gambaroni> Hello
[21:43] <usr13> llmatt556: Yea, steam, I think Dr_Willis has best idea.
[21:43] <llmatt556> DR: But the games are not using up all my resources currently.
[21:43] <Gambaroni> I have a problem that it seems like someone have stolen my passwords to the accounts. I would like to find out how they could have got that information. Someone have made 8 successful logins from 8 different IPs in 3 minutes and I'm totally sure it's not me or anyone else with access. Any idea how I could find out+
[21:43] <Loshki> SilverSlimer: not saying your're wrong, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i3_microprocessors says it does support ecc...
[21:44] <usr13> llmatt556: But the "lagging" must be happening for a reason... Right?
[21:44] <usr13> Gambaroni: No, but change passwords.
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/better-steam-for-linux-performance-with.html      'steam login'
[21:45] <Loshki> Gambaroni: wanna post the logs to pastebin so we can all see them?
[21:45] <SilverSlimer> loshki: intel's page says it doesn't
[21:45] <Gambaroni> Loshki: what logs do you wanna see?
[21:45] <llmatt556> Yes but it is not not having enough resources. My friend (who runs games fine on Linux) has a slower PC than me. It is some ineffciency or error going on the background.
[21:45] <usr13> Gambaroni: /var/log/syslog
[21:45] <Loshki> SilverSlimer: well, they should know. Maybe ask on #hardware to confirm?
[21:46] <llmatt556> I will try the steam login program though and see if that helps.
[21:46] <Loshki> Gambaroni: well, start with posting whatever made you suspicious that \you've had 8 logins and their IP addresses
[21:47] <kostkon> llmatt556, what's your problem exactly? just wondering. nothing else
[21:47] <llmatt556> Kost: Games lag and stutter a lot, especially when I move the camera
[21:47] <kostkon> llmatt556, okie
[21:48] <usr13> Gambaroni: Logins to what?  ssh?
[21:48] <Gambaroni> Loshki: At first injected code in some of the websites, the one that have logged in via ssh as I described
[21:48] <Gambaroni> usr13: yes
[21:48] <SilverSlimer> llmatt556: how much ram on the gtx 460 and which games?
[21:48] <Gambaroni> Loshki: Looks like this: auth.log.2.gz:3186:Aug 20 18:01:05 xxx sshd[19092]: Accepted password for user1 from <IP_ADDRESS> port 58061 ssh2
[21:49] <llmatt556> 1GB GDDR5 and on every game I have tried it does the same. (KSP, Garrys Mod, L4D2)
[21:49] <Gambaroni> Loshki: each site is running with it's user, using suexec
[21:49] <usr13> Gambaroni: Weak passwords?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> you got ssh running on port 58061 ?
[21:50] <Gambaroni> Dr_Willis: No
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> somthing definatly seems weird then.
[21:51] <Gambaroni> usr13: It's not perfect (not my fault.. :)), but smallcaps 8 letters, no special chars or numbers
[21:52] <Gambaroni> usr13: BUT, I cannot see anywhere that they have been bruteforcing through SSH. That made me think of maybe they have got the /etc/shadow in some way and then bruteforcing locally
[21:52] <usr13> Gambaroni: What about your firewall?  (Stand alone firewall, right?)
[21:53] <Gambaroni> usr13: no firewall, this is a server
[21:53] <usr13> Gambaroni: So you originally had ssh open to the world?
[21:53] <Gambaroni> usr13: yes
[21:53] <OerHeks> no fail2ban ..
[21:53] <usr13> Gambaroni: A server with no firewall between it and the internet and ssh is open to the world.  I think you should unplug it.
[21:54] <Gambaroni> OerHeks: well, no. BUT that wouldn't catch this, because all logins were successful on first attempt
[21:55] <usr13> Gambaroni: No mystery there, password got loose from someone.
[21:55] <SysFailure0x5a> I'm having an issue with PHP on Ubuntu Server that is driving me nuts. I've been at this for two days.
[21:55] <usr13> Gambaroni: (Someone got the list.)
[21:56] <jhonake3> Hey guys. I'm having some trouble with my screen rotating on log in (I don't want it to, it rotates CCW)
[21:56] <jhonake3> Is there a way I can see what is running on login to see what's causing it?
[21:56] <usr13> Gambaroni: ssh should be limited to only those that need it, (for one thing).
[21:56] <jhonake3> I tried searching, but all I found is history, which only shows me the bash commands I've typed
[21:57] <SysFailure0x5a> I set the memory_limit is php.ini but it's being ignored.
[21:57] <Gambaroni> usr13: how do you mean by the list?
[21:57] <usr13> Gambaroni: ...of passwords
[21:58] <Gambaroni> usr13: but we don't have any list taht just contains password for those accounts. There are some more accounts
[21:58] <leotr> hi! I'm trying to upload big file to remote ubuntu server using this command $ rsync --partial --progress --rsh='ssh -p1051' /g/Soft/MRP.zip administrator@<IP_ADDRESS>:~/MRP.zip
[21:58] <usr13> Gambaroni: Is it a webserver?
[21:58] <Gambaroni> usr13: yes
[21:58] <leotr> it can connect but i get empty file on remote server
[21:59] <leotr> http://pastebin.com/gHzW2cX2
[21:59] <leotr> client is windows with mingw
[22:00] <usr13> Gambaroni: And there are multiple sites with corresponding users that login via ssh to upload content?
[22:01] <usr13> Gambaroni: Is that correct ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ?
[22:02] <jhonake3> How can I see the scripts run at login?
[22:02] <Gambaroni> usr13: it is correct. but it is just me and my friend (his server) that have all the passwords.
[22:02] <jrib> jhonake3: why?
[22:03] <usr13> Gambaroni: Obviously you or your friend have lst the list of passwords get away.
[22:03] <jned> if I edit /etc/resolve.conf how do I make the change persist a reboot?
[22:03] <Santa>  /msg NickServ REGISTER _SantaC<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[22:03] <Gambaroni> usr13: that was my thought first also. But then I thought they have injected in all accounts. Not just the half of them..
[22:03] <usr13> Gambaroni: 1)  You should have a stand-alone router/firewall between the server and the internet.  2) ssh should be limited
[22:06] <usr13> gotta go.
[22:06] <napsc> Gambaroni: you can set up ssh keys and disable password authentication.
[22:06] <usr13>  ... for now.
[22:06] <Gambaroni> usr13: yeah
[22:06] <Gambaroni> napsc: that is what I think of as well
[22:07] <napsc> it's much easier than maintaining  pw's... too many pw's these days.
[22:12] <ejv> Santa: you sent that nickserv register request to the public channel, if that's also the password of your Yahoo email, I suggest you change it ASAP.
[22:12] <debrisrat> hi all
[22:13] <histo> hola
[22:13] <SilverSlimer> pff
[22:13] <map> hi
[22:13] <SilverSlimer> everyone knows that yahoo mail accounts are used for spam only
[22:14] <ejv> SilverSlimer: comments like that should go in #ubuntu-offtopic thx :)
[22:14] <histo> Gambaroni: fail2ban
[22:14] <debrisrat> sorry i'm using ubuntu 13  i installed netbeans on software center  but it is not working ! can you help me this problem?
[22:14] <tannji> what is involved in formatting a Usb drive so that I can install win 7 on another machine?  I have an iso for win7, the other machine does not have an optical drive.
[22:14] <ejv> !details > debrisrat
[22:16] <debrisrat> ejv:  i can show my console print out . where can i paste it result?
[22:16] <SilverSlimer> tannji, i believe that unetbootin would actually work
[22:16] <tannji> Or conversely, once I have the second machine physically here, can I share my dvd drive in this ubuntu box over my lan?
[22:16] <bekks> !pastebin| debrisrat
[22:16] <SilverSlimer> tannji, install the aforementioned application, load up the windows 7 iso within it and 'burn' it onto the usb drive. i believe it will work
[22:17] <Loshki> Gambaroni: I agree with usr13/napsc. Put a NAT firewall between your server and internet, allow ssh only using keys, preferably on a non-standard port. How did they get user1's password? Were there lots of failed login attempts followed by a successful one, or did they know the password before they even started?
[22:17] <SysFailure0x5a> I'm having an issue with PHP on Ubuntu Server 12.04 that is driving me nuts. I've been at this for two days
[22:17] <SilverSlimer> microsoft also offers an iso writer for usb but don't ask me where the heck it can be found
[22:17] <tannji> SilverSlimer,  k, will look at it, think I have that util already.
[22:17] <histo> leotr: try it with -c option now
[22:17] <histo> Gambaroni: did you ever paste your auth.log ?
[22:18] <tannji> SilverSlimer,  would sharing the DVD drive over the network be doable?
[22:18] <Gambaroni> histo: yes, one line from it that
[22:18] <SysFailure0x5a> I set the memory_limit is php.ini but it's being ignored
[22:18] <debrisrat> paste.ubuntu.com is not working :S
[22:18] <Gambaroni> Loshki: the case is that it is in log auth.log 30 min pause, then 8 successful logins in 4 minutes from 8 different ips without any fail
[22:18] <SilverSlimer> tannji, i'd be surprised if it did
[22:18] <histo> Gambaroni: look further back in the auth.log for the brutefoce attempts
[22:19] <histo> Gambaroni: are any of your people using sshfs or anything?
[22:19] <Gambaroni> histo: yes, that would be it maybe. The log is ending there.. 11 augusti
[22:19] <Gambaroni> histo: no
[22:20] <hyprvx> Is there anyone here who has experience with Windows Phone and the app Tether-X?
[22:21] <histo> Gambaroni: look back at previous logs auth.log.1 .2.gz etc..
[22:21] <debrisrat> eyj :  thats here! http://paste.ubuntu.com/6060537/
[22:21] <Gambaroni> histo: it is in the last one.. auth.log.6.gz
[22:21] <histo> Gambaroni: the attack?
[22:21] <debrisrat> ejv: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6060537/  thats here :S
[22:21] <Gambaroni> histo: the successful logins yes
[22:22] <Gambaroni> histo: and then some again 9 days later
[22:22] <Gsport> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ1MjQ
[22:22] <histo> Gambaroni: you aren't making any sense to me.   I tried to turn on proprietary drivers for broadcom wireless card, and it crashed. Now, when I try to do something with apt-get, it says that I need to call   dpkg --configure -a    and if I type it, it crashes again. How to forget this failed installation and never try again?
[22:23] <Gsport> i do everything 3 times just to be sure
[22:23] <hyprvx> Agh, 13.04.
[22:23] <Loshki> Gambaroni: if that's true, it implies they knew the passwords before they tried to log in. Either they're legitimate logins (<IP_ADDRESS> looks like it's in Paris) or someone broke your password/shadow file, or the password was trivial...
[22:24] <map> hi
[22:24] <histo> hyprvx: with network manager
[22:24] <map> if im running openvpn server shouldnt there be an entry in netstat 1194 ? how do i see that server is running
[22:24] <hyprvx> histo: mind elaborating?
[22:24] <Gsport> you gota love 1024 chars passwords with funky simbols on them
[22:25] <|dfrank|> please, does anyone have an idea how to make dpkg forget previous failed operation?
[22:25] <Gambaroni> Loshki: not legitimate.. :D
[22:25] <histo> hyprvx: just edit your wireless connections via the network manager icon by the clock
[22:26] <histo> Gambaroni: or they broke your password and rootkit'd the machine already
[22:26] <Gsport> thats why my system dosent have paswords
[22:27] <debrisrat> ejv: can you help me *
[22:27] <Gsport> and i run as root
[22:27] <hyprvx> allow me to elaborate then: I need to form an Ad-hoc network with my phone to make a new network, using my phone as the in-line with an app called Tether-X. The app has a tutorial for Windows, but I use Ubuntu on my target computer
[22:27] <Gsport> if they hack me im going to the police
[22:27] <dman777_1lter> hi, does rc.local need to be added to with update-rc.d?
[22:27] <histo> Gsport: why would you run as root?
[22:27] <Loshki> Gambaroni: in that case, you know what to do. usr13 and napsc have already covered it...
[22:27] <histo> dman777_1lter: no, What are you trying to do?
[22:28] <Gsport> why not?
[22:28] <histo> Gsport: fat fingers
[22:28] <Gsport> that way i dont need to type sudo
[22:28] <histo> omfg
[22:28] <dman777_1lter> histo: i placed echo '/opt/scripts/script.sh' >> /etc/rc.local but the script is not executing upon boot up
[22:28] <Loshki> Gsport: well, running a browser as root is a form of russian roulette...
[22:28] <debrisrat> netbeans give me fail on start  thats here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/6060537/   thanks for your helps.
[22:28] <Gsport> it saved severall weeks in the 20 years ive been using linux
[22:28] <histo> dman777_1lter: is the script in that location and check that it's in rc.local
[22:29] <dman777_1lter> histo: yes, verified
[22:29] <Gambaroni> Loshki: true
[22:29] <histo> Gsport: you could have just configured sudo according to your needs but whatever.
[22:29] <Gambaroni> histo: do you think so? wouldn't they have injected all the sites hten..?
[22:30] <map> should openvpn or port 1194 be listed somewhere not sure how to check?!
[22:30] <clue_h> map try ss -ap
[22:30] <Gsport> its the machine thats supposed to work for me not me working for the machine
[22:30] <Loshki> dman777_1lter: the script will also presumably need execute permissions
[22:30] <dman777_1lter> Loshki: yes, it has them
[22:30] <histo> Gambaroni: It's quite possible.  Also why are you administering a server you know nothing about?
[22:31] <Gsport> cause ihes an H@s0r
[22:31] <Gsport> cause ihes an H@X0r
[22:31] <histo> Gambaroni: and what version of ubuntu is the server running?
[22:31] <histo> Gsport: then through out your keyboard if the machine is supposed to work for you.
[22:31] <gordonjcp> Gsport: did you have an Ubuntu support question?
[22:31] <histo> s/through/throw/
[22:32] <Gsport> yes but i forgot
[22:32] <Loshki> dman777_1lter: start adding "echo 'got to line 12' >> /tmp/t.txt' lines to your script to see where it's dying...
[22:32] <map> thanks clue_h
[22:32] <Fyodorovna> Gsport, cause your a soci-path
[22:32] <Gsport> and you are a asshole
[22:32] <map> hmm
[22:33] <map> i see tcp uncoon 0 0 ; ipproto-1194
[22:33] <Gambaroni> histo: 12.04 LTS
[22:33] <map> but i specified udp in the openvpn conf?
[22:33] <clue_h> map thats openvpns default port
[22:33] <map> ya
[22:33] <map> but it says tcp..the config i had udp?
[22:34] <clue_h> i think... it listens on udp and does the tunneling through tcp
[22:34] <map> aha
[22:34] <clue_h> i use it myself but i forgot lol
[22:34] <jned> you know the startup scripts for ubuntu 11.01, can I add dhclient there, cause it requires sudo, can you add things that require sudo to the startup scripts?
[22:34] <map> thanks mate
[22:34] <map> so its a problem client end
[22:34] <clue_h> most likely
[22:34] <map> there's no iptables rules etc but i cant connect to this
[22:34] <histo> !language | Gsport
[22:34] <histo> !who | map
[22:35] <map> thanks clue_h  ;]
[22:35] <clue_h> map, np :]
[22:35] <dman777_1lter> Loshki: oh...think i see. i have it write to a file in /root/. changed it to /home/file. seems like during boot up it should have access to /root
[22:39] <Gsport> histo, you are a socio-path
[22:39] <Gsport> i just got this new trolling sentence
[22:41] <Snake2k> Hello everyone, what's the best way to install KDE on 12.04? kubuntu-desktop or kde-full?
[22:42] <histo> Snake2k: if you want the kubuntu "experience" then you would install kubuntu-desktop
[22:42] <Snake2k> histo, what's the difference between the experience and the real thing? lol
[22:43] <Gsport> the reall thing is in the clouds
[22:44] <histo> !best | Snake2k
[22:44] <Snake2k> histo, Ah I see, thanks :)
[22:44] <Snake2k> Gsport,  O_o
[22:45] <Gambaroni> histo: but if the sites is running with low access accounts, would it still be possible to install rootkit?
[22:46] <testpil0t> Gambaroni, somebody would have to exploit the account to gain higher privileges
[22:46] <Gsport> Gambaroni, just install steam client
[22:46] <bekks> Gambaroni: Sure.
[22:46] <Gambaroni> testpil0t: to a root-account?
[22:46] <bekks> Gambaroni: Sure.
[22:47] <Ca11um> lol, executing 'pkill /?' was a fatal mistake
[22:47] <Gsport> you dont execute stuff on linux you run them
[22:48] <Ca11um> But you execute a command?
[22:48] <Gambaroni> bekks: I see, that doesn't feel very likely in this case
[22:49] <Gsport> besides you dont use / in linux ever
[22:49] <Ca11um> I forgot /? is for Windows, not Linux
[22:50] <Gsport> google have taken linux and made it proprietary
[22:51] <Gsport> just like ubuntu is trying
[22:52] <dman777_1lter> by the time rc.local runs, is hostname established?
[22:54] <histo> dman777_1lter: it should be run after everything else
[22:59] <Gambaroni> histo: is there any way to see if a rootkit has been installed?
[22:59] <histo> Gambaroni: there are rootkit hunters/checkers in the repos
[22:59] <bekks> Gambaroni: rkhunter and chkrootkit e.g.
[23:00] <bekks> There is no guarantee that those tools will always find every rootkit.
[23:00] <Gsport> linux usage is deckining
[23:00] <Gsport> why do i hvae to have root user?
[23:00] <gordonjcp> Gsport: historical accident
[23:01] <geri> is there a profile file in ubuntu? source ~/.profile
[23:01] <Gsport> can i rename root to something else?
[23:01] <gordonjcp> Gsport: actually having a valid root login is obsolete
[23:01] <gordonjcp> Gsport: you can, but it might break some things
[23:01] <Gsport> might break the rootkits
[23:01] <Gambaroni> histo, bekks: I see. Maybe I'll try these
[23:02] <gordonjcp> Gsport: unlikely, since they usually work by running something with elevated privileges
[23:02] <Gsport> hahah nice try Aarn
[23:04] <Ca11um> Is it impossible for ATI RADEON HD users to play Steam games? I've installed the latest proprietary drivers for my ATI RADEON HD 5570, but I get an openGL error when trying to launch any Steam game
[23:05] <aldaek> im having problems with viewing and uploading files to a samba server with the default file browser for ubuntu. However, the smbclient works perfectly.
[23:05] <argh> سمَـَّوُوُحخ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ امارتيخ ̷̴̐خ  :)
[23:05] <waterlite> woto
[23:06] <aldaek> argh: English characters and language, please.
[23:06] <TheDrums> It's a Mac exploit.
[23:06] <Gsport> aldaek, try kubuntu
[23:06] <tomslominski> Hi. My permissions seem to have messed up a little. I've got a folder called public in my apache2 webserver files directory (/home/user/www/) and there's some files in there that I can't access as a normal user. Tried chmodding them to 644 and chowning them to user:user, but still I get ls cannot access:permission denied errors.
[23:06] <waterlite> TheDrums,  no its not
[23:06] <waterlite> its hus language
[23:07] <jrib> tomslominski: are you using ubuntu?
[23:07] <waterlite> please not being racist
[23:07] <waterlite> stop*
[23:07] <tomslominski> jrib: yes :)
[23:07] <aldaek> is there a problem with ubuntu and samba, then? while kde based applications work?
[23:07] <jrib> tomslominski: /home/user/www/public is an odd path, thus why I asked.  Pastebin input and output of the commands you mentioned in your question (that show permissions and your inability to access the file)
[23:07] <Gsport> kse FSBROWSER IS WAY BETTER
[23:08] <Gsport> YOU GET KIO SLAVES THAT WORK FOR PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF
[23:08] <jrib> Gsport: no need for caps
[23:09] <rom12three> hi room
[23:09] <aldaek> fsbrowser?
[23:09] <Gsport> apt-get install konqueror
[23:09] <aldaek> ok..
[23:09] <testerer> Problem with sudoers not accepting this command:  user1 ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown -h now
[23:10] <tomslominski> jrib: I've stuck them in there so that I don't have to become root when I want to work with files on my development webserver. Here's the output: http://pastebin.com/Z3Zb4BS4
[23:10] <Ca11um> What does 'apt-get upgrade' do, exactly?
[23:10] <jrib> tomslominski: you need execute permissions on public
[23:10] <Ca11um> Is there a difference between an update and an upgrade?
[23:11] <DaphneGreengrass> Ca11um, update updates your packagelists
[23:11] <DaphneGreengrass> upgrade upgrades the packages
[23:11] <tomslominski> jrib: recursively, or just on the folder?
[23:11] <jrib> tomslominski: just on the directory
[23:11] <Gsport> upgrade upgrades your distro version
[23:11] <takisan> technically, upgrade just upgrades the packages.
[23:11] <jrib> Gsport: no
[23:12] <Gsport> yes
[23:12] <takisan> `do_release_upgrade` upgrades the distro version, or something like that.
[23:12] <Jagst3r15> I just tried updating 12.04 to 12.10 and now I cannot get to the ubuntu login screen! It is just black now when I click on the ubuntu option in grub!
[23:12] <clue_h> i thought dist upgrade
[23:12] <tomslominski> jrib: It works, thanks :) Do you know why it's that way?
[23:12] <Gsport> ubuntu is just debian done wrong
[23:12] <TheDrums> "upgrade" is a "safe upgrade", "dist-upgrade" will install new depends if needed, or remove conflicting packages.
[23:12] <jrib> tomslominski: execute on directories let you cd into the directory
[23:13] <Gsport> ubuntu is basically safer debian testing
[23:13] <Jagst3r15> anyone? :(
[23:13] <tomslominski> jrib: I see. 644 on the files itself (rw-r--r--) should be enough for the files themselves, right?
[23:13] <jrib> Gsport: this channel is for support. If you don't have a question related to ubuntu support or don't want to help someone else with an ubuntu support question, please be quiet.
[23:14] <jrib> tomslominski: that's right
[23:14] <tomslominski> jrib: Cool, thanks!
[23:14] <JesseH> Anyone have any ideas of why internet could have huge lag spikes lasting about 30 seconds or so easy time?
[23:15] <Gsport> some one is sharing your internet connection?
[23:15] <JesseH> each*
[23:16] <napsc> tomslominski: a good way to remember that is execute permission on directory is sometimes referred to as being 'searchable'
[23:17] <tomslominski> napsc: I previously thought that it was just so that files could be executed, ever realised it has any effect on directories.
[23:17] <Jagst3r15> nvm I found it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair#A2nd_option_%3a_install_Boot-Repair_in_Ubuntu
[23:17] <JesseH2> :|
[23:18] <JesseH2> Gsport, That might be a possibility. Its been happening more recently, and got worse last night.
[23:18] <JesseH2> How can I monitor who is on my network?
[23:18] <histo> JesseH2: look at your routers logs
[23:19] <histo> JesseH2: and ping scan your subnet
[23:20] <JesseH2> What does "join multicast group" mean?
[23:20] <JesseH2> I see it a lot. There are lots of logs here lol
[23:20] <JesseH2> and lots of cryptic type stuff
[23:23] <Wolfium> hello all
[23:23]  * Nerfherder waves.
[23:23] <Wolfium> I am having an issue while connecting to my iburst usb modem I go for pppoeconf
[23:23] <takisan> Hej Wolfium.
[23:23] <Wolfium> and set up the connection and it works perfectly
[23:24] <Wolfium> but when I open firefox the whole system freezes
[23:24] <Wolfium> any help about this problem
[23:24] <Wolfium> ?
[23:24] <testerer> Wolfium..got enough ram?  freezing sounds like a classic low ram scenario.
[23:25] <Wolfium> brand new laptop
[23:25] <Wolfium> 4 gb
[23:25] <Wolfium> ddr3
[23:25] <gool> anyone here dual booting on uefi?
[23:25] <gool> i've had immense troubles doing so
[23:25] <Wolfium> I tried to create a bridged connection in my network manager
[23:26] <threh> gool: I am
[23:26] <Wolfium> but it wont identify the ib0
[23:26] <Wolfium> automatically
[23:26] <JesseH> Okay so there are three people connected to my network. When there should be two.
[23:26] <gool> threh, did you have to change anything in the bios?
[23:26] <threh> what's your laptop, if I may ask
[23:26] <JesseH> Any advice on handling this situation?
[23:26] <gool> asus lleme google the model
[23:27] <threh> Let me remember
[23:27] <threh> I was installing Ubuntu the other day
[23:27] <threh> and that's why I came in here
[23:27] <gool> Asus X53SVRH71
[23:27] <peterrooney> JesseH: (i) why do you say that there are three connected? (ii) solutions are legion.
[23:27] <Wolfium> if i cant get any help here any other channel for networking anyone would suggest
[23:27] <Wolfium>  ?
[23:28] <aldaek> this user's issue is apparently happening across multiple file browsers... is there a library that i need to reinstall?
[23:28] <Wolfium> cuz now im stuck with windows guyz its a nightmare i tell you :S
[23:28] <gool> wolfium whats your issue?
[23:28] <threh> gool: did you already install ubuntu?
[23:28] <gool> yeah threh
[23:28] <JesseH> peterrooney, I assume that the DHCP client list would tell me, heh
[23:28] <threh> So the issue is you can't get it to boot?
[23:28] <gool> i got rid of windows 8, but i'd like to dualboot another debian
[23:28] <aldaek> user cannot upload files through gui access to smb share, while smbclient works perfectly.
[23:28] <Wolfium> well on ubuntu 13.04 64bit I bought a usb modem Iburst
[23:28] <threh> for my laptop, I hit the boot options key and select Ubuntu from the options
[23:28] <gool> i want to dual boot crunchbang with ubuntu
[23:29] <napsc> JesseH: depends on lease time expiration
[23:29] <Wolfium> installed the software and the ibdrivers and dkms
[23:29] <Wolfium> went to pppoeconf
[23:29] <Wolfium> configured
[23:29] <threh> my issue is no matter all I
[23:29] <threh> have tried, brightness change won't work.
[23:29] <Wolfium> and did a pon dsl-providor
[23:29] <gool> threh you on a laptop?
[23:29] <Wolfium> and then i do a plog
[23:29] <Wolfium> everything is fine
[23:30] <threh> yes, HP, a new model
[23:30] <Wolfium> but when I open any browser or anything that has to do with the internet
[23:30] <gool> dv7?
[23:30] <threh> the brightness keys, xbacklight, nothing works
[23:30] <threh> 15t-j000
[23:30] <Wolfium> the whole system freezes and i have to force shut down
[23:31] <wilee-nilee> !reisub | wolfium
[23:31] <gool> threh, try this in terminal http://pastebin.com/qcEvTvTU
[23:31] <threh> gool: my sys class backlight is empty :(
[23:31] <gool> oh ok
[23:31] <gool> one sec i found a thread on this, so your keys will work
[23:31] <gool> leme PB it
[23:31] <Random832> half of that sequence is cargo cult superstition
[23:32] <gool> http://pastebin.com/difgtv1t threh
[23:32] <threh> alright thanks, I'd love this to work, I'm on w8 right now because ubuntu was sucking up too much battery
[23:32] <threh> because of the brightness issue
[23:32] <threh> ah, I've tried that too
[23:32] <gool> it looks like grub on the new hps doesnt recognize the hotkeys associated with brightness
[23:32] <Wolfium> any solution so that i may ocnnect to the iburst and use the internet on the ubuntu sys im on windows now
[23:32] <Wolfium> and ive been using linux for 3 years now
[23:32] <Wolfium> no way am going back
[23:33] <threh> gool: I've tried that and the acpi_osi trick and xbacklight and xgamma
[23:33] <threh> I dunno anymore
[23:33] <threh> I think I might have to wait for a new kernel update?
[23:34] <gool> threh, go to system settings -> keyboard & mouse -> keyboard shortcuts
[23:35] <gool> nvm its different on ubuntu
[23:35] <gool> I'm invested in your issue now
[23:35] <threh> that's very kind of you
[23:35] <gool> threh
[23:35] <telldrak> Hello
[23:35] <gool> you know how to get to shell script ?
[23:36] <threh> to run one? yeah
[23:36] <gool> like in bios
[23:36] <gool> not in ubuntu
[23:36] <threh> That I don't think I know
[23:36] <DummyBook> anyone here selling a macbook pro?
[23:36] <threh> I'll switch to my phone
[23:36] <telldrak> built myself a new box just for Ubuntu Server today, have it up and running now. I built it for working with the MEAN stack
[23:37] <gool> wait threh
[23:37] <gool> dont leave me
[23:37] <gool> lol
[23:37] <gool> go to terminal first
[23:37] <FloodBot1> gool: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:37] <gool> and try to do brightness with hotkeys from there
[23:37] <gool> fn + whatever it is
[23:37] <threh> but it's not just the hotkeys that's the issue
[23:37] <Nerfherder> threh, I had a similar issue with my Pavilion dv7-6135dx.  I had to add acpi_backlight=vendor to my kernel parameters to get the brightness to adjust properly.
[23:38] <threh> didn't work for me, but I added acpi_osi=Linux or Windows or !Windows 2012 too
[23:38] <Nerfherder> Ah, hmm, okay.  Rats, thought I'd save the day there for a second.  ;-)
[23:39] <threh> gool: what was the shell script
[23:39] <threh> it didn't paste
[23:40] <gool> i private messaged you so i dont spam
[23:40] <threh> hmmm, I dunno, I don't think it's just a keyboard issue though
[23:41] <threh> Unless you have a plan haha
[23:41] <gool> yeah
[23:41] <gool> check out the pm
[23:44] <SilverSlimer> hey guys, what social network do you guys use other than facebook? (i'm wondering if there's even one open-source social network that appeals to gnu/linux users)
[23:45] <threh> all the open source social networks are bullshit (mostly)
[23:45] <Ca11um> Terminal could be less obscure when a file doesn't have permission to execute, it just says "command not found"
[23:45] <threh> IRC and Twitter are all you need
[23:45] <gool> silver
[23:45] <Ben66> watch the language, and social networks are off topic here
[23:45] <wilee-nilee> !ot | SilverSlimer
[23:45] <threh> Sorry
[23:45] <gool> i only use twitter and github for programming/"hacking" networking, but hacking in terms of coding.
[23:46] <daftykins> people, that is offtopic talk
[23:46] <daftykins> if you'd like to chat about mytwitface, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:48] <aldaek> if anyone has my issues (cannot upload samba due to samba permissions in gui, but not in smbclient), have them reinstall "nautilus nautilus-share".. it resets any saved passwords that might have been stored with the wrong creditionals permanently.
[23:48] <root_gnewsense_o> hi everyone, I have a user name who cannot use "xeyes" application for an example "no protocol specified, cannot open DISPLAY"
[23:48]  * aldaek is out.
[23:48] <wilee-nilee> !samba
[23:48] <geri> i extended my linux machine with an additional harddisk...just to store data.... its /dev/sdb ...should it be a primary or extended partition?
[23:48] <histo> root_gnewsense_o: are they in X ?
[23:49] <wilee-nilee> aldaek, has to be a wiki eh
[23:50] <root_gnewsense_o> I dont know what in X means
[23:50] <Sach> Anyone here with Pitivi experience? How do I know what to choose for my "video preset" and "audio preset" /
[23:51] <SilverSlimer> sorry about the social network talk, i'll see you guys in the offtopic channel.
[23:51] <geri> i extended my linux machine with an additional harddisk...just to store data.... its /dev/sdb ...should it be a primary or extended partition?
[23:51] <histo> root_gnewsense_o: are they in a GUI when they try to launch xeyes?
[23:52] <histo> root_gnewsense_o: xeyes is a graphical application you need Xorg to run it
[23:52] <histo> or an X server of some kind.
[23:55] <Sach> How do I open .mts files in Pitivi?
[23:56] <daftykins> Sach: " As long as it is supported by the GStreamer Multimedia Framework, PiTiVi will handle any format you throw at it."
[23:56] <delinquentme> so i'm trying to do a ./config and It needs a library ... which is right there in the directory im installing from
[23:57] <delinquentme> how do I pass in this as an argument?
[23:57] <daftykins> Sach: http://www.pitivi.org/manual/importingmpegts.html - How to convert .mts and .m2ts files to a format that can be parsed by GStreamer and PiTiVi.
[23:57] <daftykins> Sach: please try some research into your queries before bringing them on IRC
[23:58] <threh> Hello, pleased to report my backlight issue is fixed
[23:58] <threh> I should not have set "nomodeset"
[23:59] <threh> gool: the keys work too!
[23:59] <gool> chalk one up for the goolster
[23:59] <daftykins> ;]
[23:59] <gool> ;D
[23:59] <daftykins> if your case was unique is it documented online?
[23:59] <threh> I'm pretty happy about this, alright bye guys
