[00:00] <bekks> hittt: technically, it looks like this: you have no disk space free actually, since you have (in sum) those much and those big files, that your free space ic oocupied.
[00:01] <hittt> bekks, but i cant locate them, my home folder only accounts for 16 GB's and the rest are small files (i dont know how hidden files get treated in this case)
[00:01] <bekks> hittt: The solution is: delete as much big files as possible. First approach: sudo apt-get autoclean; sudo apt-get autoremove; -- BE CAREFULL, since it MAY (the second command) delete stuff you dont want to be deleted.
[00:02] <bekks> hittt: run and pastebin the following: df -sh --max-depth=1 /
[00:03] <hittt> -s?
[00:04] <scipi0> Please.
[00:04] <scipi0> Help.
[00:05] <hittt> my df doesnt seem to have a -s argument :S
[00:05] <scipi0> I'm scared
[00:05] <hittt> !ask | scipi0
[00:05] <bekks> hittt: huh?

[00:05] <folsto> Hello, I have been trying Ubuntu and other linux based distros for a couple of months now, everytime I install one I tend to go back to restoring Windows 8 the laptop came with. The issue is that when I install Ubuntu or any other linux distro the ssd tends to get way hotter, almost the same as the cpu itself which btw also tends to get hotter than in windows 8.
[00:06] <folsto> The SSD is a Corsair Force 3 SSD 256 GB, any ideas as to what might be the reason
[00:06] <bekks> folsto: And whats the issue then?
[00:06] <scipi0> okay, ubottu. Hi, my upgrade to 13.10 just went bad. I used the software updater to update and I was in the "installing packages" mode when the window went dark and unresponsive. I quit it and went to open up the software updater when it informed me that I can only perform a partial update. I select to do this and it does nothing. I am updating from 13.04 using intel with a dual-boot with...
[00:06] <scipi0> ...12.04. I am using the 13.04. Please help
[00:07] <folsto> bekks: In short the SSD is way hotter than even a traditional hdd could be and also cpu gets a bit hotter, and I am concerned it would reduce the life of the laptop in future far quicker
[00:07] <selekta> hello! I was wondering if someone could help me with installing my cisco ae23500 USB network card.
[00:08] <bekks> folsto: "hotter than a hdd can be"?
[00:08] <selekta> I googled it but the tutorial seemed extremely difficult to me
[00:09] <folsto> bekks: as i understand ssds tend to be a lot cooler than spinning disk hdd's, and in this case the ssd is lot hotter.
[00:09] <hittt> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/6396918/
[00:10] <bekks> folsto: nothing at all indicate that ssd are to be a lot cooler than hdd.
[00:11] <BvL> scipi0: so your dual booting 12.04 & 13.04 - and you are trying up update 13.04 to 13.10 but the update failed
[00:11] <selekta> can someone help me please?
[00:11] <selekta> I need to know how to enable graphical sudo so I can drop a tarball in \usr\src
[00:12] <bekks> selekta: gksudo
[00:12] <hittt> gksudo
[00:12] <BvL> sudo apt-get install gksu
[00:12] <BvL> gksu is no-longer installed default
[00:13] <selekta> i ran it
[00:13] <selekta> and it wont let me drag and drop this
[00:14] <SchrodingersScat> selekta: what did you gksudo into?
[00:14] <selekta> nothing
[00:14] <selekta> I have no idea what im doing
[00:14] <BvL> once sec
[00:14] <BvL> you want to do it graphically
[00:14] <folsto> bekks: to put it another way, I just checked the temps of cpu its 69 C and when put my hand below the cpu area and the ssd area, both feel like are at the same temperature, whereas in windows 8 the temps are about 60-65 C. Is this normal on Ubuntu?
[00:14] <selekta> im trying to install a driver I guess so I can use my cisco wireless network usb car and it wants me to do a bunch of crazy stuff
[00:14] <SchrodingersScat> selekta: you can try a 'gksudo nautilus' and it'll bring up a root nautilus, oh dear be careful though
[00:14] <folsto> bekks: using lm-sensors
[00:14] <selekta> If someone could help me I have VNC
[00:15] <selekta> or teamviewer
[00:15] <scipi0> BvL: Yes.
[00:15] <bekks> folsto: I stringly doubt you feel the difference of 4 degrees with you hand - above 43 degrees, which will actually burn your hand.
[00:15] <BvL> gksudo nautilus gksu nautilus \usr\src
[00:15] <bekks> *strongly
[00:16] <hittt> folsto: sometimes the CPU might be actually overheating due to poor thermoconductivity (Aka the thermodynamic gum needs replacement)
[00:16] <rawfodog> Hi, Im using a 32 bit program on a 64bit xubuntu install. I'm missing libasound 32 bit. What do I type to install it ?
[00:16] <rawfodog> will downloading the 32 bit version break anything ?
[00:16] <folsto> bekks:  btw  I forgot to mention I don't feel any heat at all below ssd on windows, its only in Ubuntu thst the ssd tend to feel like at the same temp as the cpu
[00:17] <hittt> rawfodog: no, 32 bit programs work well on 64 bit platforms
[00:17] <selekta> that worked BvL !
[00:17] <hittt> s/programs/anything/
[00:17] <rawfodog> hittt, Im missing the 32bit lib to run this
[00:17] <Rory> rawfodog: What are you doing that requires that lib?
[00:17] <folsto> hittt: I think the temps are fine since its an i7 quad core , its the ssd temps that I am concerned with
[00:17] <BvL> scipi0, first just to be sure did you backup any important information
[00:17] <rawfodog> Installing Renoise
[00:18] <scipi0> BvL; no :( .  Why? They provide a 64 bit version
[00:18] <rawfodog> 64bit is buggy isnt it ?
[00:19] <rawfodog> here is an ldd of renoise on my comp ...
[00:19] <rawfodog> http://pastebin.com/RrSctXJD
[00:19] <selekta> I placed the tarball in /usr/src and now im trying to run tar -xvf ndiswrapper-xxx but it doesnt work
[00:19] <Rory> rawfodog: I recommend using their 64 bit version it is no more buggy and they recommend it for 64 bit systems
[00:19] <Rory> rawfodog: "If you rarely or never use plugins, and have a 64-bit OS, go for the 64-bit version of Renoise as well. The 64-bit version can use more than 4 GB of memory and will perform a little better."
[00:19] <rawfodog> k thanks Rory
[00:19] <hittt> folsto: You arent getting a good reading with your hand, the computer gets the reading from a much better position, the ssd should be around 40-50 C
[00:19] <rawfodog> ok great thanks
[00:20] <selekta> BvL, can you help me for a moment please?
[00:20] <BvL> scipi0, i usually nuke and repave so i dont know how much help
[00:20] <BvL> scipi0, so first are you currently booted on 12.04 or 13.04
[00:21] <maujhsn> Hello...In my /home  folder what items are deletable in/.cache?
[00:21] <BvL> selekta, ill try
[00:21] <selekta> bvl thank you
[00:21] <selekta> I placed the tarball in /usr/src and now im trying to run tar -xvf ndiswrapper-xxx but it doesnt work
[00:21] <BvL> selekta, just type a question or if you are following a guide could you give me a link plz
[00:21] <scipi0> Bvl: Well.... I still am on the 13.04, It's working okay. Could you show me some resources to back up quickly
[00:22] <scipi0> wait, nevermind. I forgot, Bvl, sudo is broke
[00:22] <selekta> BvL, http://tinymelinux.com/forum/thread-865-post-3760.html#pid3760  here is the guide
[00:22] <N|onDell320> Hello
[00:22] <selekta> the tarball is in usr/src now
[00:22] <scipi0> *BvL
[00:22] <reisio> maujhsn: pretty much everything, but you might try just mv'ing it first
[00:22] <selekta> and im cd'd to the /usr/src directory
[00:22] <BvL> scipi0 yep
[00:22] <N|onDell320> I have a Dell Optiplex 320 that is currently running Windows 7
[00:23] <N|onDell320> and I'd like to remove Windows 7 and get Ubuntu
[00:23] <scipi0> BvL: I am still on the 13.04, but sudo is broken
[00:23] <Ari-Yang> bekks: you have a radeon card?
[00:23] <maujhsn> reisio For what reason?
[00:23] <bekks> Ari-Yang: No. I never did, doesnt have, and will not, until hell freezes :)
[00:24] <reisio> maujhsn: you tell me
[00:24] <Aut0Exec> what would be the benefit of usin hte 64 bit version over the 32 bit?
[00:24] <reisio> Aut0Exec: not asking your processor to pretend it's 30 years ago
[00:24] <Ari-Yang> folsto: oh, do you have a radeon card?
[00:24] <Aut0Exec> ok
[00:24] <Ari-Yang> bekks: my bad, meant the other guy ^
[00:24] <BvL> scipi0, ill need a couple of sec
[00:25] <maujhsn> selekta Why now leave your tar file in /Downloads and extract from there/
[00:25] <bekks> Aut0Exec: almost everything, unless you have 32bit hw only. 32bit is (technically) outdated since about 10 years.
[00:25] <reisio> first x86 production chips, 28 years 10 months ago
[00:25] <selekta> maujhsn, i dont know im just following the directions of the guide
[00:25] <bekks> reisio: :)
[00:26] <reisio> whereas generic 64-bit is only about a decade old
[00:26] <selekta> BvL, ?
[00:26] <mujee> well I wanted to know the name of the channel for ubuntu help
[00:26] <N|onDell320> How do I know if I'm running a 32 bit or 64 bit CPU/Computer?
[00:26] <Aut0Exec> reisio: te 64 bit version is too unstable for me
[00:26] <reisio> Aut0Exec: nah
[00:26] <Aut0Exec> reisio: its super slow when booting up
[00:26] <BvL> selekta im running through steps and making sure i give you correct info
[00:26] <Aut0Exec> reisio: then it crashes
[00:26] <maujhsn> reisio I just realized that you gave me a good suggestion....Thanks!
[00:26] <selekta> BvL, thank you sir
[00:27] <BvL> cd Downloads assuming the tar is in your downloads folder cd ~/Downloads
[00:27] <selekta> BvL, no its in /usr/src now
[00:28] <BvL> ok one sec
[00:28] <selekta> thats why I needed graphical sudo so I could move it there
[00:28] <BvL> cd into that directory
[00:28] <selekta> im there
[00:28] <BvL> sudo tar -xvf ndiswrapper-1.58.tar.gz
[00:29] <selekta> okay
[00:29] <BvL> cd ndiswrapper-1.58
[00:29] <selekta> making
[00:29] <selekta> make installing
[00:29] <BvL> scipi0, ok im back
[00:29] <selekta> next one im confused. just type what it says?
[00:29] <Aut0Exec> so should i use the 32bit version if the 64bit it unstable or what?
[00:30] <BvL> after you tar cd to the new directory
[00:30] <mujee_> does anyone know how can I get cmake version 2.8.9 or later for Ubuntu 12.04.3
[00:30] <scipi0> BvL: Yay : |)
[00:30] <BvL> the rest should be the same
[00:30] <hittt> bekks, i run nautilus and it sais my / contents total 31.5 GBs
[00:30] <hittt> I really think its df thats wrong here
[00:30] <selekta> bvl I did that and make and make install now i didnt the drivename step and its says ndiswrapper isnt installed and that I should sudo apt-get for it
[00:30] <selekta> should I do that?
[00:31] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: sudo apt-get install cmake
[00:31] <BvL> scipi0, you said something about sudo not working
[00:31] <BvL> ?
[00:31] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: I'm on 12.10 and it's packaged with 2.8.9
[00:31] <maujhsn> selekta Yes!
[00:31] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: oh wait, you're on 12.04, I thought you were on 13.04
[00:31] <mujee_> ari_yang i got 2.8.7 with sudo apt-get
[00:31] <Ari-Yang> ah
[00:31] <scipi0> BvL: yeah
[00:31] <selekta> okay I typed in the next step to verify installation bvl and maujhsn and it says unable to find a version of ndiswrapper
[00:32] <mujee_> and i was trying to install latest unity which required cmake 2.8.9 or later
[00:32] <scipi0> BvL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6397015/
[00:32] <BvL> thanks
[00:33] <maujhsn> selekta Put it aside for now, and re-try it tomorrow!
[00:33] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: run sudo apt-get --purge cmake then download this, and extract it http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz
[00:33] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: let me know when it has been extracted
[00:33] <selekta> maujhsn, why tomorrow? I want to get this done tonight? I only have two steps left this is simple stuff i just dont know enough as to why it isnt working
[00:33] <BvL> scipi0, oh i got tat once, so you your correctly not installing anything but its still locked
[00:34] <mujee_> yes i have this in my home folder extracted
[00:34] <nightdrever> I have compiz running my desktops .... however when ubuntu 12.04 boots.....first i see old wallpaper THEN afte a few secs it changes to compiz......is there away to start compiz wallpaper faster?
[00:34] <scipi0> BvL: yes? I think. I don't understand what you just said
[00:34] <BvL> scipi0, nothing like GDebi, ubuntu software centre, synaptic are currently running?
[00:34] <selekta> BvL, two little steps left can you help me? I did the ndiswrapper -l step and it said unable to find a version of ndiswrapper
[00:35] <mujee_> ari_yang I have already this folder downloaded and extracted in my home folder
[00:35] <scipi0> BvL: nope.
[00:35] <maujhsn> selekta Sometimes it take a day or two for ubuntu to locate a package! i do not know why this is the case!
[00:35] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: okay now read the readme.txt
[00:35] <Ari-Yang> it has the instructions
[00:35] <BvL> scipi0 ok then do a sudo rm -r /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[00:35] <DemYisus> hello
[00:36] <selekta> maujhsn, huh?! That makes no sense!
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: you're suppose to cd into the folder with terminal run ./bootstrap after make and then if all goes well sudo make install
[00:36] <scipi0> BvL: done.
[00:36] <selekta> I need internet on this box tonight!
[00:36] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: after you run make, pastebin the output when it's done and link me before running sudo make install
[00:36] <BvL> scipi0, what happened is that linux places this file to say im installing stuff, but if crash during a installation process this file doent get removed so you cant install anyomre
[00:37] <BvL> scipi0 try doing your update now
[00:37] <scipi0> BvL: Thanks! I'll try it
[00:37] <BvL> selekta, ok im back
[00:37] <selekta> <#
[00:37] <selekta> 3
[00:37] <selekta> alright so you know where im at?
[00:37] <selekta> okay I typed in the next step to verify installation bvl and maujhsn and it says unable to find a version of ndiswrapper
[00:37] <selekta> sorry to repaste. didnt feel like typing it out again
[00:37] <BvL> which step number are you at
[00:38] <selekta> 9
[00:38] <maujhsn> selekta ubuntu is more intuitive than you imagine...check in your update manager later on and it may be sent to you!
[00:38] <scipi0> BvL: Software updater is bailing on the start-up. It's icon flashes green a few, then it stops and doesn't do a thing
[00:38] <JiTsI> lol
[00:38] <JiTsI> fookin POS
[00:38] <selekta> maujhsn, it already says it was installed
[00:38] <BvL> selekta: can you put the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[00:39] <selekta> sure bvl
[00:39] <maujhsn> selekta I do not know why this happens
[00:39] <mujee_> Ari_yang sudo apt-get purge cmake  says invalid operation cmake
[00:39] <kostkon> !find cmake
[00:39] <bekks> mujee_: pastebin the exact command please
[00:39] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: sudo apt-get --purge cmake cmake-data
[00:40] <hittt> bekks, never mind i found it it was /root !

[00:41] <BvL> scipi0, sudo apt-get install -f
[00:41] <kostkon> mujee_, sudo apt-get remove cmake --purge
[00:41] <Ari-Yang> ^ try that
[00:42] <JiTsI> my 13.4 will not even booty
[00:42] <scipi0> BvL: no good http://paste.ubuntu.com/6397038/
[00:42] <mujee_> Ari_yang yes it removed it
[00:42] <JiTsI> booty booty
[00:42] <mujee_> kostkon I mean it removed it
[00:42] <BvL> scipi0 did you try the sugggestion, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[00:42] <kostkon> mujee_, now do sudo apt-get autoremove
[00:43] <scipi0> BvL: I'm doing it now
[00:43] <BvL> selekta redo step 6 + with sudo
[00:43] <scipi0> BvL: OMG it's found my 12.04.3 partition.
[00:43] <mujee_> kostkon yes it removed some more things
[00:43] <BvL> since you are working the usr directory you need sudo
[00:44] <kostkon> mujee_, good
[00:44] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: okay if it removed, compile and install the cmake you unzipped fro that .tar file
[00:44] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: cd into the extracted folder and type ./bootstrap and then make after pastebin the output
[00:44] <Linuxman> s
[00:44] <mujee_> kostkon Ar_yang  thats the issue I could not understand in the readme.txt what it is trying to say
[00:44] <BvL> scipi0, is everything working?
[00:44] <selekta> BvL, okay
[00:44] <selekta> this is the whole thing btw http://www.grailbox.com/2012/05/installing-cisco-linksys-ae2500-wireless-adapter-in-linux/
[00:44] <scipi0> BvL: yeah. It's just surprising.
[00:45] <JiTsI> say Op's, is there another command line edit I can do in safe mode to boot this ubuntu up, generic is not booting
[00:45] <selekta> there is some edit there BvL  so let me know if im still on the right track
[00:46] <mujee_> Ari_yang I have run the ./bootstrap
[00:46] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: did you run make?
[00:46] <mujee_> Ari-yang no it is still running ./bootstrap
[00:47] <mujee_> okay so it means after theis I  have to only type make ?
[00:47] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: yes, but before you do pastebin bootstrap when it's done
[00:48] <selekta> BvL, im on step 8 and the output was couldnt open drivername.inf no such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219
[00:49] <linuxuz3r> how do i know what gnome version i have
[00:49] <BvL> selekta, ok - one sec
[00:49] <selekta> BvL, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper seemed to work.
[00:49] <mujee_> Ari-Yang http://pastebin.com/d2YSjTQf
[00:50] <mujee_> it was too long some were overwrited by terminal so the earlier things are not there
[00:50] <BvL> selekta, ok how did you do step 8
[00:50] <selekta> i typed in sudo ndiswrapper -i drivername.inf
[00:51] <BvL> what was the output?
[00:51] <selekta> BvL, im on step 8 and the output was couldnt open drivername.inf no such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219
[00:52] <BvL> ok you need to get the file, what wireless card are you using?
[00:52] <selekta> cisco ae2500
[00:52] <selekta> I can grab the driver
[00:52] <BvL> yep we need the windows driver
[00:52] <BvL> windows xp
[00:52] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: in terminal you should go to 'file' edit profile preferences then go to scrolling and tick the unlimited
[00:53] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: do that, then run make
[00:53] <selekta> bvl got the driver
[00:53] <selekta> its in downloads
[00:53] <selekta> bvl pay attention to the edit here....
[00:53] <selekta> this is the whole thing btw http://www.grailbox.com/2012/05/installing-cisco-linksys-ae2500-wireless-adapter-in-linux/
[00:54] <selekta> it says sudo ndiswrapper -m did not load on startud he had to add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules so we will need to do that
[00:54] <BvL> extract all the drivers and do a and change the directory to the dirvers location
[00:54] <selekta> wait, what?
[00:55] <mujee_> Ari-Yang I have done it now but I had already run the command make
[00:55] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: when make finishes pastebin when it and link me
[00:55] <BvL> AE2500xp_WHQL,0.zip, extract the contents
[00:55] <selekta> BvL, extracted the drivers now cd to the driver location?
[00:56] <BvL> selekta, 1. AE2500xp_WHQL,0.zip, extract the contents 2. change to the new folder containing the drivers
[00:56] <selekta> done done and done BvL
[00:57] <mujee_> Ari-Yang here it is http://pastebin.com/8S6n3n4r
[00:57] <BvL> selekta now for step 8, ndiswrapper -i bcmwlhigh5.inf
[00:57] <BvL> output plz
[00:58] <joseph_> ewwww drivers :/
[00:58] <selekta> bvl said it installed
[00:58] <selekta> installing the command line came back up
[00:58] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: alright... now run sudo make install
[00:58] <selekta> okay and verified!
[00:58] <BvL> selekta continue the guide
[00:59] <wilee-nilee> So, a epson v33 scanner has drivers installed works from sudo but does not detect otherwise, my guess is a chmod, just not sure what
[00:59] <delahere> I upgraded to 13.10 and the top status bar is now blank. No gear icon, no clock. Can't find a solution in the forums can anybody help?

[00:59] <selekta> BvL, okay ran modprobe
[00:59] <wilee-nilee> wilee-nilee, 12.04 is the release
[00:59] <scipi0> BvL: what should I do when the command is over? It's taking a while
[00:59] <selekta> now how do i configure this? and also do I need to do the -m thing in /etc/modules so it autoruns?
[00:59] <joseph_> how do i update ubuntu?
[01:00] <nAn00k> apt-get update and apt-get upgrade

[01:00] <BvL> scipi0, try to update to 13.10 (reboot first if you want to be safe)
[01:00] <wilee-nilee> So, a epson v33 scanner has drivers installed works from sudo simple-scan but does not detect otherwise, my guess is a chmod, just not sure what, ubuntu 12.04.
[01:00] <wilee-nilee> gksudo actually
[01:01] <joseph_> working ty ty
[01:01] <nAn00k> no problem lad :)
[01:01] <mujee_> Ari-Yang http://pastebin.com/15fXpJBe
[01:01] <Rc43> I discovered now possibility to forbid packages with /etc/apt/preferences and want. It is fine but now I want to forbid only package version in standard repo (I want to use the version of it from the ppa).
[01:01] <Rc43> Is it possible?
[01:01] <selekta> BvL, it worked!!
[01:01] <selekta> thank you so much!
[01:01] <Terabyte> I want to run this non-interactively, how do I do it:  apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded
[01:02] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: okay that's it, you have cmake installed.... now do whatever it is that you were doing
[01:02] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: let me know if it works out or not
[01:02] <BvL> selekta, got wireless?
[01:02] <unstable> What is a good way to seamlessly have an ASCII file be encrypted with GPG, then when I open it with gedit say.. or whatever the editor is.. ubuntu will ask me for the password then open the text document?
[01:02] <nAn00k> 7
[01:02] <mujee_> Ari-Yang okay let me check
[01:02] <selekta> BvL, I got wireless. now should this automatically load on startup?
[01:03] <BvL> selekta, i dont know, if you can reboot just to make sure
[01:03] <selekta> BvL, rebooting
[01:03] <BvL> selekta, if something else needs to be done well figure it out
[01:05] <mujee_> Ari-yang it did not work
[01:05] <mujee_> gave an error
[01:05] <selekta> BvL, wireless didnt come up upon startup
[01:05] <selekta> something more needs to be done
[01:05] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: yeah, something happen probably during the compilation :/ so cd into that same folder and run sudo make uninstall
[01:05] <BvL> ok
[01:06] <selekta> he said to add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
[01:06] <Ari-Yang> mujee_: after you do that, go here and add the ppa https://launchpad.net/~george-edison55/+archive/cmake-precise then run apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install cmake
[01:06] <Ari-Yang> that should do it
[01:06] <delahere> I upgraded to 13.10 and the top status bar disappeared. Can anybody help?
[01:06] <Ari-Yang> afk, good luck
[01:06] <selekta> BvL, his notes are here http://www.grailbox.com/2012/05/installing-cisco-linksys-ae2500-wireless-adapter-in-linux/
[01:07] <BvL> looking at it right now
[01:07] <BvL> what happens when you type sudo ndiswrapper -m?
[01:08] <selekta> it said adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper to /etc/modules.conf
[01:08] <selekta> BvL,
[01:08] <BvL> selekta, is wireless working?
[01:09] <selekta> BvL, no sir
[01:09] <BvL>  modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:09] <BvL> selekta, ^ and after that
[01:09] <Xaxxa> hello everybody
[01:09] <maujhsn> selekta How about rebooting?
[01:09] <selekta> maujhsn, I already rebooted
[01:09] <maujhsn> Ok
[01:10] <selekta> BvL, typed in modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:10] <Xaxxa> somebody can help me to setup an automount of a webdav folder on ubuntu
[01:10] <Xaxxa> how ca i do that?
[01:10] <BvL> selekta, wireless is working>
[01:10] <selekta> BvL, no sir
[01:10] <BvL> *?
[01:10] <mujee_> Ari-Yang well shall i write deb before it to add the ppa?
[01:10] <BvL> selekta ndiswrapper -l
[01:11] <Runemoro> Hello, is a clean install better than a release upgrade for my server?
[01:11] <selekta> device is present BvL
[01:11] <selekta> and it says driver installed
[01:11] <Xaxxa> how can i configure an automount of a webdav folder instead to reconnect everytime?
[01:12] <hittt> Im currently upgrading to 12.10, i hope i dont have to install 13.04 as well in orded to reach 13.10
[01:12] <BvL> selekta did you redo step 11. configure wlan0 in Network Center and start it up.
[01:12] <BvL> if not, you sould
[01:12] <selekta> BvL, im in there now and the wireless thing didnt pop up like it did last time. I only see wired and network proxy
[01:13] <Xaxxa> or there is a software client that allow me to use it as a local folder?
[01:13] <selekta> BvL, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and now its there
[01:14] <selekta> BvL, I have wireless now
[01:14] <xangua> hittt: you will have to if you want to reach 13.10
[01:14] <BvL> selekta, now that it "works" lets try rebooting, if its not automatically recognized just unplug and re-plug into you computer
[01:14] <selekta> BvL, okay
[01:14] <BvL> but before that
[01:15] <selekta> damn already rebooting haha
[01:15] <BvL> you did sudo ndiswrapper -m
[01:15] <BvL> before the reboot correct
[01:15] <BvL> if so thats fine
[01:15] <selekta> yes to add it to the modules.inf
[01:15] <selekta> er conf
[01:15] <maujhsn> selekta good work!
[01:15] <BvL> ok all is well (hopefully)
[01:16] <selekta> BvL, no wireless upon startup
[01:17] <selekta> shall I unplug and plug it back in?
[01:17] <_davide> Hi -- is there a package that provides libc already compiled w/ debugging symbols?
[01:17] <BvL> yes
[01:17] <pero> why is nautilus so bad? seriously, is there an explanation for that?
[01:17] <selekta> BvL, no wireless
[01:17] <BvL> selekta, ^ does "unplug and plug it back in" solution work
[01:18] <BvL> ok
[01:18] <Runemoro> pero, Why do you think it's bad?
[01:18] <trippeh> _davide: libc6-dbg
[01:18] <paddyez> ahoj
[01:18] <BvL> lets redo step 10. modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:18] <mujee_> Ari-Yang after installing cmake from that ppa bash: /usr/local/bin/cmake: No such file or directory
[01:19] <pero> i would like to resize my columns, or reorder by size on the first try
[01:19] <pero> how do i do that
[01:19] <BvL> selekta, lets redo step 10. modprobe ndiswrapper    then unplug and plug it back in
[01:19] <selekta> BvL, okay
[01:19] <selekta> just typing that made the wireless popup
[01:20] <BvL> ok then we will make that command run on boot up
[01:20] <paddyez> can you help me please to locate the variable where the JAVA path ist stored in?
[01:20] <pero> why isn't su integrated? or the terminal
[01:20] <pero> did you seriously ask that question or did i miss where all these critical features are somehow
[01:20] <BvL> selekta "just typing that made the wireless popup" did you enter step 10 before the wireless came up
[01:21] <selekta> BvL, it still says connecting. thats what it did last time. I had to forget network and put it in again to make it connect
[01:21] <BvL> or did it come up on its own
[01:21] <Runemoro> pero, There's a plugin to open a terminal in the current directory
[01:21] <selekta> BvL, typing modeprobe ndiswrapper made it come up
[01:21] <pero> why does that need to be a plugin
[01:21] <BvL> selekta and clicked enter correct?
[01:22] <selekta> BvL, correct
[01:22] <BvL> ok just to make sure
[01:22] <pero> is there another plugin that lets me resize column widths?
[01:22] <Runemoro> because "normal" users don't use the terminal a lot
[01:22] <mujee_> Can anyone help me in installing cmake 2.8.9 or later version in Ubuntu 12.04.3 64bit
[01:22] <Runemoro> and for su, you can make a small skript
[01:22] <Runemoro> script*
[01:23] <pero> what was my original question? ;)
[01:23] <maujhsn> I have a virtualbox guest "11.10"  on a windows 7 host but forgot my log-in password, How to I get in to reset?
[01:23] <pero> you know what else i can do too - i can install another file manager
[01:24] <pero> i'm just curious if there's an actual explanation for the catastrophically bad state of this application'
[01:24] <selekta> BvL, connection FINALLY established. took forever.
[01:24] <pero> because it seems calculated
[01:24] <selekta> BvL, how do we make this so I power the box on and it just automagically connects?
[01:24] <selekta> without plugging and unplugging etc.
[01:24] <xangua> pero: ask nautilus (now files) developers
[01:24] <pero> and i'd love to read it so i can get with the program
[01:24] <pero> maybe its just over my head
[01:25] <BvL> selekta, im looking into that what version of ubuntu or another linux distro are you using
[01:25] <BvL> though this is a ubuntu form
[01:25] <mujee_> Can anyone help me in installing cmake 2.8.9 or later version in Ubuntu 12.04.3 64bit?
[01:25] <BvL> *irc
[01:25] <Rc43> Guys, how to select package from PPA instead of standard repo?
[01:25] <Rc43> I googled and can't find it.
[01:25] <selekta> BvL, 12.04
[01:25] <Rc43> man apt-get doesn't tell about PPA
[01:26] <Runemoro> what would be nice would be when you try to open another user's files you would have to type in their password or an admin's password
[01:26] <selekta> BvL, yeah because even a suspend knocks it out
[01:27] <BvL> ok if we ned to worry about suspend too it will take a short while to get the solution
[01:27] <N|onDell320> I'm trying to decide what ubuntu I need. 12.04 LTS or 13?
[01:27] <selekta> and when it just awoke from suspend BvL I just did sudo modprobe ndiswrapper and it still hasnt popped up in network
[01:27] <N|onDell320> Can anyone tell me what I need?
[01:27] <xangua> N|onDell320: only you can tell what you need
[01:27] <N|onDell320> I don't know which though
[01:28] <N|onDell320> I'm new to linux
[01:28] <Runemoro> N|onDell320, 13.10 then
[01:28] <N|onDell320> ok
[01:28] <xangua> N|onDell320: stable and old software or newer and, posibly, a few bugs
[01:28] <N|onDell320> Is there a reason why some get 12.04?
[01:28] <Runemoro> N|onDell320: It's more stable
[01:28] <N|onDell320> Well my computer is about 5 years old now. Does that make a difference?
[01:29] <BvL> selekta, ok....
[01:29] <Runemoro> how much RAM does it have?
[01:29] <N|onDell320> 2.00
[01:29] <N|onDell320> and it's 32 bit
[01:30] <selekta> BvL, I unplugged and plugged it back in and now I see it. still connecting though
[01:30] <Runemoro> 2GB of ram is good enough for 13.04
[01:31] <BvL> ok after it connects try suspending, resuming and unplugging and replugging
[01:31] <BvL> but dont do  modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:32] <BvL> im trying to see what the driver will do
[01:32] <N|onDell320> So the 13.10 is recomended for me?
[01:32] <BvL> selekta ^
[01:32] <Guest6152> if u have older hardware i would recoment xubuntu 13.10 works  fine
[01:32] <BvL> ok after it connects try suspending, resuming and unplugging and replugging...
[01:33] <N|onDell320> Ok thanks
[01:33] <BvL> but dont do  modprobe ndiswrapper, im trying to see what the driver will do
[01:33] <selekta> BvL, yes
[01:33] <selekta> doing thAT NOW
[01:35] <selekta> BvL, unplugging and replugging seemed to work
[01:35] <selekta> the wireless is on now and is trying to connect
[01:35] <BvL> selekta, but you didnt do  modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:36] <selekta> BvL, correct. just unplugged and replugged
[01:36] <wilee-nilee>  So, a epson v33 scanner has drivers installed works from gksudo simple-scan but does not detect otherwise, my guess is a chmod, just not sure what, ubuntu 12.04.
[01:39] <BvL> selekta, now to get it to "auto load" the driver
[01:39] <selekta> BvL, yessir
[01:39] <BvL> do you you want this to effect every user or only your user account
[01:39] <selekta> whichever is easier
[01:39] <BvL> every requires sudo
[01:39] <selekta> there is only one account on the device
[01:39] <BvL> you is simple
[01:40] <selekta> okay lets do that
[01:40] <BvL> ok, click on the gear to right
[01:40] <BvL> startup applications
[01:40] <BvL> add
[01:40] <selekta> there
[01:40] <BvL> Name: anything (maybe wireless)
[01:40] <xirre> What are the dangers of using Apache2 under Ubuntu?
[01:41] <BvL> command:  modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:41] <BvL> comments: you choice
[01:41] <selekta> done
[01:41] <BvL> try rebooting
[01:41]  * vanquish27 Good news everyone!
[01:41] <selekta> so that command will simulate unplugging and replugging the card?
[01:42] <BvL> no just loading the driver, i havent gotten to that yet, i like to verify every step is working before continuing
[01:42] <selekta> BvL, rebooted
[01:42] <selekta> doesnt appear to be doing anything.
[01:43] <BvL> you will need to unplug and replug most likely
[01:43] <JordanJ2> Hey folks, when I try to run the Ubuntu installer (USB drive) I just get a black screen
[01:43] <selekta> unplugging and plugging worked
[01:43] <selekta> BvL,
[01:44] <tripelb> 12.04 how do I remove a shortcuut that I have put on the panel --  gnome
[01:44] <gr33n7007h> tripelb, alt + right click
[01:46] <JordanJ2> All I get is a black screen
[01:47] <JordanJ2> Can someone help me?
[01:47] <tripelb> gr33n7007h, sorry that does not work. :(
[01:48] <selekta> BvL, figure anyhting out?
[01:48] <BvL> net yet
[01:49] <BvL> :(
[01:49] <selekta> unplugging and replugging isnt the end of the world for me, I suppose
[01:49] <selekta> but it is annoying
[01:49] <baumiao> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/?post=12&title=The_unofficial_ubuntu_smartphone_190usd
[01:49] <selekta> cant a script be written to basically pretend the usb is plugged and unplugged?
[01:49] <tripelb> where is the ubuntu help in the menu 12.04 gnome
[01:49] <gr33n7007h> tripelb, try windows key + alt + right mouse click
[01:50] <BvL> selekta, ive never done that, so thats what im looking into
[01:51] <tripelb> gr33n7007h, bingo. ty.
[01:51] <BvL> selekta, im looking at http://superuser.com/questions/141908/how-do-i-reset-an-usb-device-without-unplugging-it-in-linux
[01:51] <gr33n7007h> np
[01:51] <selekta> BvL, ahhhhh nice
[01:52] <scipi0> BvL: It worked! It also fixed problems with GRUB and installed World of Goo properly. Thank you so much!!!!! Your a saint
[01:53] <N|onDell320> Why does it take 1hr to download Ubuntu 13.10?
[01:53] <ianorlin> from am mirror?
[01:53] <BvL> scipi0, glad to hear, happy 13.10
[01:54] <selekta> also when i drag my windows around i get significant lag. the window lags behind my mouse very annoyingly. any way to fix that?
[01:54] <selekta> using unity launcher
[01:56] <delahere> upgraded to 13.10 and freeplane won't run
[01:56] <BvL> selekta, unfortunately that normal if your moving you mouse fast
[01:57] <selekta> BvL, thats never happened to me before on any of my computers :(
[01:57] <scipi0> BvL: anything cool to do to this distro. Mods or Themes or cool sh*t?
[01:57] <baumiao> have you read about the x86 smartphone with ubuntu on it?
[01:58] <baumiao> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/?post=12&title=The_unofficial_ubuntu_smartphone_190usd
[01:58] <BvL> selekta, i have a bash script that installs everything for me, other then conky i dont really mod ubuntu, sure you could but im happy
[01:58] <selekta> baumiao, thats a pornstar database lol
[01:58] <baumiao> selekta: and is cool isn't it? :D
[01:59] <selekta> BvL,  scipi0 asked that :D
[01:59] <BvL> oops
[01:59] <selekta> :)
[01:59] <BvL> i copy and paste
[01:59] <BvL> empathy is bad for that
[02:00] <selekta> ahhh okay
[02:00] <Ari-Yang> baumiao: this is an ubuntu tech support channel
[02:00] <BvL> no typos, that way just huge blobs of incorrect information
[02:00] <Ari-Yang> for off topic stuff join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:00] <BvL> scipi0 i have a bash script that installs everything for me, other then conky i dont really mod ubuntu, sure you could but im happy
[02:00] <BvL> with the defaults
[02:02] <selekta> so yeah this window lag is pretty bad. Think its a video driver issue? im doing sudo apt-get upgrade right now. That finds the newest drivers right?
[02:02] <BvL> selekta what card do you have?
[02:02] <selekta> god only knows, in this old thing.
[02:02] <Ari-Yang> selekta: upgrade upgrades ubuntu version
[02:03] <satang_> .
[02:03] <Ari-Yang> selekta: you probably wanted to do dist-upgrade
[02:03] <selekta> its a dell dimension b110
[02:03] <Ari-Yang> !dist-upgrade | selekta
[02:03] <Ari-Yang> selekta: what graphics card do you have?
[02:03] <selekta> whatever comes in the dell dimension b110 Ari-Yang
[02:03] <BvL> selekta could you do a lsmod and past http://paste.ubuntu.com
[02:04] <selekta> This is some junk comp I got from a family member that I want to use as a media center
[02:04] <selekta> bvl sure
[02:04] <selekta> sudo apt-get upgrade is almost done then ill do that
[02:04] <LjL> Ari-Yang, i want to assume you didn't look at the part where baumiao's website was porn-related and didn't send them to #ubuntu-offtopic thinking that would be appropriate there :\
[02:04] <Ari-Yang> no I did not click on that link :|
[02:05] <Ari-Yang> LjL: all I knew is that he was linking off topic stuff so I suggested #ubuntu-offtopic to him
[02:05] <setuid> How do I change the default gdm resolution? I googled and found a lot of shell based, xrandr hacks, but there has to be an easier way.
[02:05] <setuid> Mine is starting at something like 2036x1500 or something, but when I log in, it's the correct 1400x900 res.
[02:06] <anon12> How do I concatenate mp4 files into a single video file?
[02:06] <Ari-Yang> selekta: what's the output of lspci | grep VGA ?
[02:06] <selekta> sec, my terminal is working
[02:06] <LjL> Ari-Yang: right, that's not quite how that's supposed to work. !offtopic isn't a catch-all for things that aren't ontopic for #ubuntu. i've seen that happen more and more recently, and just... no
[02:06] <BvL> selekta, yep, im fairly sure that is an onld laptop, so its possibly your graphics card thats slowing it down a bit
[02:06] <selekta> its a desktop actually
[02:06] <BvL> *old
[02:06] <selekta> but yeah :/
[02:07] <BvL> oh desktop, i checked the specs i forgot google images
[02:07] <selekta> there isnt some sort of animation or whatever I can turn off?
[02:07] <BvL> are you on unity 2d?
[02:07] <selekta> im not sure
[02:08] <selekta> it has the bar on the left
[02:09] <BvL>  selekta, http://askubuntu.com/questions/62001/am-i-using-unity-or-unity-2d
[02:09] <BvL> selekta, 2d will be faster for you
[02:10] <Ari-Yang> selekta: oh it's intel
[02:10] <BvL> selekta, i used similar computers im my school with ubuntu 12.04, it should be ok
[02:10] <selekta> BvL, ahhh im on 3d
[02:10] <selekta> where do i switch to 2d?
[02:10] <Ari-Yang> in the login box
[02:10] <selekta> gotcha
[02:10] <Ari-Yang> log out, you should see the ubuntu logo icon
[02:11] <selekta> you guys are so helpful. I cant thank you enough for all of this
[02:11] <Ari-Yang> click it and you can switch there
[02:11] <anon12> How do I get unity to only use Unity 3d? (optimus graphics but xorg is on intel graphics, unity 3d works when booting from a live usb)
[02:11] <Ari-Yang> be sure to join to give us feedback~
[02:11] <selekta> sorry, im a noob. Been using linux for 10 years but I never got into how to actually do anything with it
[02:11] <rehanog_> hi
[02:11] <BvL> selekta, most people learn form necessity
[02:12] <selekta> Oh I joined long ago. Been coming to this channel for almost 10 years now :D
[02:12] <selekta> BvL, still waiting on this apt-get upgrade to finish
[02:12] <BvL> ive forgot to close the window and when i came back it looked like there where people who i could help so i stayed
[02:13] <selekta> what, today?!
[02:14] <selekta> I use windows and android primarily, but I will always have an ubuntu machine. They are reliable and the customer service and help in this channel are second to none
[02:15] <BvL> selekta yep lightdm is not working (installed by default), so upon booting i usually wont get the nice login screen i just had a blinking text courser on the top left. so since it could not be fixed by a had to go with gdm
[02:15] <BvL> now "everything" work "perfectly"
[02:15] <BvL> (which means minor issues that i dont worry about)
[02:15] <selekta> haha nice
[02:15] <selekta> right yeah
[02:16] <selekta> it looks like ill just have to unplug and replug this wireless card everytime but who cares
[02:16] <selekta> more exercise :D
[02:16] <BvL> selekta, for now that is
[02:17] <BvL> hopefully there will be official support for it in 14.04
[02:17] <selekta> I honestly dont think ill be upgrading this PC
[02:17] <selekta> Its old and I just need it to work. Doesnt need features or be pretty. Needs to play music and watch videos. Thats it haha
[02:18] <selekta> my laptop is where I have all my fun
[02:18] <BvL> mine are two week
[02:18] <selekta> just threw 4 more gigs of RAM in it to make 8. zoom!
[02:18] <cfhowlett> selekta, new LTS release (14.04) means the PERFECT time to upgrade the old box!  My 2009 Dell is looking pretty ragged so .. that new Dell M3800 is looking very sweet!
[02:19] <BvL> my desktop is where i have all the power
[02:19] <selekta> nothing compares to my phone though. Got a nexus 4 and a nexus 5.
[02:19] <selekta> What phone do you use?
[02:20] <BvL> dont have one ;(
[02:20] <selekta> a phone period or a smart phone?
[02:20] <BvL> either
[02:20] <selekta> why not, you dont have a need for one?
[02:21] <BvL> i have voip, no cell, no smart
[02:21] <selekta> ohhh okay
[02:21] <selekta> hmm I have an old Droid RAZR laying around here somewhere...where do you live?
[02:21] <BvL> toronto
[02:21] <BvL> ontario canada
[02:21] <selekta> Im from Rochester NY. Pretty close!
[02:22] <BvL> same timezone!
[02:22] <selekta> yessir
[02:22] <selekta> bout 3-4 hours from you most likely
[02:22] <selekta> well shit for all your help let me see if I can track down that droid razr to send to you. I havent a clue as to where it is but ill find it
[02:23]  * ianorlin doesn't want a smartphone
[02:23] <selekta> ianorlin, how come?
[02:24] <BvL> i think im going to rewrite the setup wireless guide
[02:25] <selekta> eh?
[02:25] <mujee> does anyone have tried cmake 2.8.9 or later version in ubuntu 12.04.3 64 bits
[02:27] <BvL> the reason for the rewrite is that may work for other "windows only" wireless usb dongles, and a good reference, encase anyone else asks me about a similar issue
[02:27] <BvL> i have a guide to install ubuntu on a MacBook 2,1 (2008 that should be 2008 model i thing)
[02:28] <BvL> and the audio is balanced!
[02:28] <selekta> nice!!
[02:29] <BvL> my old macbook is the main reason i knew how to do most of the steps you had to go through

[02:29] <Guest12528> My screen resolution is set too high. Once lightdm loads I lose picture.  But, this command is secure ?
[02:36] <cfhowlett> ghs, yes it happens sometimes
[02:37] <MplayerProbs> hello everyone, can anyone help me find out how to resolve an issue with rtsp through mplayer?  When I upgraded to saucy vlc will no longer play rtsp streaming media so I'm trying mplayer and it has 04 errors Server returned 404: Not Found No stream found to handle url rtsp://
[02:37] <wlightning> BvL, hmm...shoot... even removing that file... it still crashes as soon as it starts
[02:37] <cfhowlett> ghs, usually means more work somewhere needs to be done before those can be installed
[02:37] <shroomduke> what was that off-topic channel?
[02:37] <cfhowlett> ghs, if it still appears in a  few days, consider a bug search, but in my experience, wait ...
[02:37] <cfhowlett> !ot|shroomduke,
[02:38] <shroomduke> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:38] <ghs> cfhowlett: So, Can I use the apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[02:38] <cfhowlett> ghs, yes you can.
[02:39] <ghs> cfhowlett: thank you!
[02:39] <cfhowlett> shroomduke, you mean ...   /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:39] <cfhowlett> ghs, go forth, have fun, be safe.
[02:39] <BvL> wlightning could you type nautilus into the terminal and put the output in http://paste.ubuntu.com
[02:39] <Guest12528> the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution  for XFCE is blank. no info on what to do if you screen res is too high.

[02:42] <MplayerProbs> anyone here with vlc/mplayer expertise?
[02:42] <ianorlin> !anyone
[02:43] <MplayerProbs> I'm sorry ianorlin I have asked a couple of itmes and no response.  Perhaps Im not framing it clearly :)
[02:44] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: is it possible to share the link, or do you have another example of an rtsp link handy?
[02:44] <MplayerProbs> zykotick9: absolutely, ill provide the pastebin of my vlc output and mplayer output... THANKS!
[02:44] <ianorlin> !pastebinit
[02:45] <MplayerProbs> http://pastebin.com/LdXVE3Dw
[02:45] <MplayerProbs> that's the full mplayer link attempt and output... fyi I did the ip6/lirc disable on mplayer
[02:45] <MplayerProbs> I am only using mplayer because vlc stopped
[02:45] <MplayerProbs> here's that pastebin
[02:45] <BvL> wlightning, sorry i dont know how to help with this issue
[02:46] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: ;)  sorry i don't go to pastebin.com (in future i'd use something with less ads for people paste.ubuntu.com for example) but it doesn't matter, i found an example.  i can play rtsp on my free (as in freedom mplayer) from rtsp://<IP_ADDRESS>/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov can you?
[02:46] <MplayerProbs> actually ill paste the vlc link http://pastebin.com/LdXVE3Dw
[02:47] <wlightning> BvL, Thanks for trying =) I may just reset my home folder... been seeing a lot of similar issues with my settings since the upgrade.
[02:47] <MplayerProbs> ill paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[02:47] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: ya, and i just explained - i don't see it!  'cause i don't go there...
[02:47] <MplayerProbs> no problem sorry
[02:47] <MplayerProbs> ok
[02:47] <BvL> wlightning ive found something similar at https://answers.launchpad.net/nautilus-terminal/+question/232761 im still reading
[02:48] <MplayerProbs> zykotick9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6397453/
[02:48] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: but try running "mplayer rtsp://<IP_ADDRESS>/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov" and let me know if it works
[02:48] <MplayerProbs> I'll try that link you posted
[02:49] <BvL>  wlightning maybe #12
[02:49] <Guest12528> does it work if you change to mms://
[02:49] <BvL> wlightning then #13
[02:49] <MplayerProbs> didn't work
[02:50] <wlightning> k, sec.. .I'll pull the plugins
[02:50] <MplayerProbs> mismatching header
[02:50] <Guest12528> seriously. where do i go to change the screen resolution in BASH?
[02:50] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: i get the error "Failed to initiate "audio/X-ASF-PF" RTP subsession" when trying to connect to yours... and some other "junk"... i have no real suggestions, try installing codecs i guess (fyi vlc dones' use 3rd party codecs, but mplayer does)
[02:51] <MplayerProbs> Im happy to use either, just weird that it stopped @ saucy and worked with 13.04
[02:51] <zykotick9> s/dones'/doesn't/
[02:51] <MplayerProbs> just cant' get either to work
[02:51] <MplayerProbs> is there a workaround to the 404 error in mplayer?
[02:51] <MplayerProbs> i see you mentioning codecs
[02:52] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: i don't get a 404...
[02:52] <MplayerProbs> i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras which was sufficient previously
[02:52] <MplayerProbs> sigh
[02:52] <wlightning> BvL, no such dir as ~/.local/share/nautilus-python
[02:53] <wlightning> BvL, oh... dropbox is installed via package
[02:53] <MplayerProbs> well I appreciate your attempt to help, zykotick9
[02:53] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: sorry, i gots nothin' to suggest...  best of luck.

[03:01] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: it pains me a bit to suggest this... but you could try the mediubuntu repo they've got some codecs that are non-free - see "/msg ubottu medibuntu" for the link.  good luck.  my personal irc-vrms alarm is going off ;)
[03:03] <shroomduke> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:03] <MplayerProbs> zykotick9: im sure you know already that repo is abandoned
[03:04] <MplayerProbs> shroomduke: i already di dthat but thank you
[03:04] <MplayerProbs> zykotick9: it's unmaintained and offline
[03:04] <zykotick9> MplayerProbs: actually, i didn't.  sorry.  thanks!  i'll remember that.  RIP medibuntu
[03:04] <MplayerProbs> no problem - again thankful for the help... learned about vrsm
[03:05] <zykotick9> ;)

[03:07] <atari911> i always make an image of my disk before i do any dist upgrade
[03:08] <MplayerProbs> atari911: do you know how to make an install list ala ninite?  that way you do fresh installs of all of your software?
[03:09] <zykotick9> atari911: i'd suggest you avoid using the term dist-upgrade for anything... it's one of the most misunderstood commands in APT-world.  see "/msg ubottu dist-upgrade" for what it means... fyi, it's NOT to upgrade to a new release...
[03:09] <BvL> MplayerProbs dont know but vlc may not be able to handle wma streams
[03:09] <zykotick9> !clone | MplayerProbs
[03:09] <wilee-nilee> atari911, what do you use to image the disc?
[03:09] <atari911> i always just restore from my file based back to a fresh install and all the packages are installed that way
[03:09] <zykotick9> lol, i have NO idea what apt-clone is!!!
[03:10] <atari911> unless its a upgrade
[03:10] <MplayerProbs> BvL: it has actually up through 13.04 for me

[03:15] <MplayerProbs> atari911: that's exactly what I get - has started since i upgraded to 13.10
[03:15] <wlightning> BvL, reset my home dir and backed up the old one... Nautalis is working nicely now =)
[03:15] <MplayerProbs> always worked <13.10 and works on other OS's
[03:16] <MplayerProbs> folks on forum mentioned using mplayer, and as seen in the paste that produces 404 errors in mplayer
[03:16] <BvL> does 13.04 have the nightly ppa?
[03:16] <MplayerProbs> I can hop on my wife's win machine and listen now
[03:16] <MplayerProbs> I don't think it does, but i did install the nightly and that's when I started having the issue
[03:16] <MplayerProbs> so i apt-get purged and reinstalled the ubuntu repo
[03:18] <raghu> I cant login as administrater after using the command sudo apt-get perge compiz to update the compiz its giving error that internal error in the ubuntu12.04 I am the new user for linux os I am using the linux from the past 1year but I am not having the hold of it so please guidme that how to get out form My problem

[04:26] <Guest12528> thanks BvL
[04:27] <Guerrilla> learn to linux
[04:27] <Guerrilla> :D
[04:28] <Guest12528> im trying but the documentation is so scant.    the pages explain stuff like i already understand it
[04:28] <Jordan_U> Guest12528: What happens when you try to boot?
[04:29] <Guerrilla> well, i tell you guys what
[04:29] <Guerrilla> i hope Braden is okay
[04:29] <Guerrilla> in the phillipines
[04:29] <Guest12528> i got a grub rescu prompt. reboot tied again, got it again, so im booting from live USB now
[04:29] <Jordan_U> Guest12528: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[04:30] <Guest12528> it's a laptop
[04:30] <Guest12528> just 1 space for a HDD
[04:30] <BvL> so we could assume only one harddrive
[04:31] <BvL> now if it was a macbook i could help with grub :(
[04:32] <BvL> ive never worked on recovering/fixing bios grubs
[04:32] <Guest12528> nah at this point i could have just re-installed and been back up and running
[04:33] <Guest12528> rename /home, delete everything else, re-install, update, run a batch script that installs my apps, done
[04:34] <BvL> its a good idea to have the home partition separate from the os if thats a option
[04:34] <BvL> its just cleaner
[04:35] <BvL> also you shouldnt need to rename home, you should just enter the same username and password during the installation process
[04:36] <ewigg> Hi. I have two packages that conflict but in reality they can be installed at the same time. Can I override the conflict somehow?
[04:37] <cfhowlett> ewigg, do you work at Black Mesa?
[04:38] <j2bv16> aperture pay more
[04:38] <cfhowlett> LOL ... okay back to tech support.

[04:47] <BvL> centre tab - updates
[04:47] <pawan_> ok
[04:48] <BvL> last line notify me of new ubuntu version: for any newer
[04:48] <pawan_> ok
[04:48] <BvL> close and check for updates
[04:48] <BvL> if memory serves that should start the version upgrade process
[04:48] <pawan_> now it giving 12.10 to upgrade
[04:49] <pawan_> but i want 13.10
[04:49] <cfhowlett> pawan_, torrent 13.10.  install.  done.
[04:49] <pawan_> i dont want clean install
[04:49] <pawan_> i want to upgrade existing version
[04:50] <ianorlin> then you will have to do 1 by 1
[04:50] <BvL> i dont think you can jump straight to 13.10 form 12.04, the easiest way to update at this point is do dowload the iso and install it
[04:50] <BvL> pawan_ ^
[04:50] <pawan_> is 12.10 lts
[04:51] <Jordan_U> pawan_: No.
[04:51] <cfhowlett> pawan_, 12.10 is NOT lts
[04:51] <pawan_> 13.10
[04:51] <BvL> no only 12.04 is LTS and 14.04 will be lts
[04:51] <Jordan_U> pawan_: Also no.
[04:51] <cfhowlett> pawan_, 12.04 is current LTS, 14.04 is the next LTS
[04:51] <pawan_> so should i stick to 12.04 lts only
[04:51] <pawan_> and not upgrade
[04:52] <BvL> its up to you, i use both currently
[04:52] <pawan_> difference between lts and non lts version
[04:52] <BvL> LTS get update for a longer time
[04:52] <BvL> and is supposed to be more stable
[04:53] <BvL> but non LTS are also stable
[04:53] <Toad_> evening all
[04:54] <cfhowlett> pawan_, LTS has at least 2 years support.  NON-lts = 9 months support.  choose
[04:54] <Toad_> are there any parallel port experts available to help a newbie?
[04:55] <pawan_> ok
[04:56] <j2bv16> Of course Toad_
[04:56] <BvL> Toad_, im not even a parallel port newbie just tell us what you need and maybe someone can help
[04:57] <Toad_> I am trying to get a dual parallel port card using the MCS9865 chipset to work with LinuxCNC and I'm pulling my hair out.
[05:00] <BvL> Toad_ how far did you get?
[05:01] <elementary-site7> Hello upon booting I'm stuck at  stopping system v compatibility
[05:01] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys i have a problem i upgraded my kernal and i got a black screen every time i boot, so i typed nomodeset and it worked but when i set it to make it permement using sudo nano /etc/default/grub it did not work and everytime i boot i either get a console or a black screen
[05:01] <Psil0Cybin> how can i fix this
[05:01] <Psil0Cybin> prior to updating the kernal everything was working fine
[05:02] <Psil0Cybin> Linux stashb0x 3.2.0-55-generic-pae #85-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 14:03:15 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[05:02] <Toad_> the card is installed.  I've tried following the install  "modprobe parport_pc io=0x1000,0xdd00 irq=11" and that errors out.
[05:03] <BvL> Psil0Cybin do you get a grub menu when you boot
[05:03] <Psil0Cybin> yup
[05:03] <Psil0Cybin> thats how im using my comp now previous linux versions
[05:03] <Psil0Cybin> using the old kernal
[05:03] <glitsj16> Psil0Cybin: you did 'sudo update-grub' after editing /etc/default/grub yes? just ruling out the obvious...
[05:03] <greyhatpython> hi i am using live usb of ubuntu 13.10 and mounted hard disk of the system but i was not able to copy paste files, so i tried gksudo nautilus and the gksudo not available. Please help.
[05:03] <Psil0Cybin> yea
[05:04] <Psil0Cybin> glitsj16: i did :S
[05:04] <Toad_> Where can I find the FAQ.  I'll read through that BvL
[05:05] <BvL> Toad_ FAQ for?
[05:05] <Toad_> I'm really new to ubuntu.  some unix experience, LOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGG time pc user.
[05:05] <Toad_> Ununtu
[05:06] <BvL> Toad_ thas fine, im new to parallel (last used a parallel port maybe 2006)
[05:07] <Toad_> well, I need the dual port card for the LinuxCNC program.
[05:07] <exosteven> BvL, you around?
[05:07] <ptuladhar> @greyhatpython Probably, because your hard disk is mounted in read-only mode. Run `mount'
[05:08] <BvL> exosteven yes
[05:08] <cfhowlett> Toad_, sounds like a #linux issue or linuxcnc issue.  Pretty esoteric for this channel, unfortunately
[05:08] <Toad_> thanks, I'm outa here.
[05:09] <Psil0Cybin> its set to this
[05:09] <Psil0Cybin> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[05:09] <exosteven> BvL, It's me Selekta. I was wondering if you could help me update my video driver or something. I go to stream video in chromium on this thing and its really choppy and laggy. The switch to unity 2d did WONDERS for my window moving speed though, thank you!
[05:09] <Psil0Cybin> for my permanent setting
[05:09] <Psil0Cybin> in the grub menu
[05:09] <Psil0Cybin> so i am confused
[05:09] <FloodBot1> Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:09] <Psil0Cybin> after i did sudo upgrade-grub
[05:11] <BvL> exosteven is this for the laptop or desktop
[05:11] <exosteven> the crappy desktop
[05:11] <exosteven> when it was running windows, video streaming and playback was smooth, so I figured it would be here. I just dont think my graphics driver is up to snuff or something along those lines
[05:12] <exosteven> BvL, ^
[05:14] <BvL> Psil0Cybin nomodeset is a temporary fix - gave me crappy video
[05:14] <BvL> but gets you to the desktop
[05:14] <Psil0Cybin> thats wierd it works for me perfectly fine
[05:14] <Psil0Cybin> i still get transparency and all
[05:14] <Psil0Cybin> :S
[05:14] <Psil0Cybin> just after i set it to be perm it did not work
[05:15] <Psil0Cybin> what can i do if i upgraded my kernal and am getting a blackscreen like i have to use previous linux versions to boot in
[05:15] <Psil0Cybin> :S
[05:15] <BvL> exosteven, dash > additional drivers
[05:15] <exosteven> BvL, eh?
[05:15] <vanquish27> Xen or KVM?
[05:15] <exosteven> BvL, im in there
[05:16] <BvL> do you see any available drivers?
[05:16] <exosteven> its searching right now
[05:16] <cfhowlett> Psil0Cybin, use the previous version then ?
[05:17] <Psil0Cybin> ..cfhowlett but what happends if the newer kernal after this one also does not work?
[05:17] <Psil0Cybin> i am just not fixing my issue and hoping that it gets fixed
[05:17] <exosteven> BvL, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[05:17] <Psil0Cybin> i am worried that it will stay like this...
[05:17] <Psil0Cybin> i would prefer to use the new kernal .. is that not a good move?
[05:18] <cfhowlett> Psil0Cybin, you keep the old versions because new kernels frequently do exactly what you have experienced.
[05:18] <Psil0Cybin> oh but does that not leave my machine out dated?
[05:18] <cfhowlett> Psil0Cybin, no not outdated.  you can use older kernels without penalty.
[05:18] <Psil0Cybin> oh really? i kind athought a kernal being outdated is a security flaw? or a bad idea...
[05:18] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: Was this a normal kernel update, or from a special PPA / compiled yourself?
[05:19] <Psil0Cybin> thats kind of how i looked at it up to now..
[05:19] <Psil0Cybin> nope normal kernal update...which is why im confused
[05:19] <CiSense> hi, can i keep 13.04 and install 13.10 in a separate partition and use grub to select at boot?
[05:19] <Psil0Cybin> all i did was use sudo dist-upgrade
[05:19] <BvL> exosteven do you see a list of drivers like here http://i.stack.imgur.com/3LT2o.png
[05:19] <BvL> some gray bubbles
[05:19] <exosteven> no sir
[05:19] <exosteven> nope
[05:19] <cfhowlett> Psil0Cybin, ask someone smarter than me the cost/benefit of new kernel use.
[05:19] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: You should definitly try to stay up to date.
[05:19] <greyhatpython> hi i am using live usb of ubuntu 13.10 and mounted hard disk of the system but i was not able to copy paste files, so i tried gksudo nautilus and the gksudo not available. Please help.
[05:19] <Psil0Cybin> well I am trying :P Jordan_U
[05:19] <Psil0Cybin> haha
[05:19] <Psil0Cybin> i just cant figure this one out
[05:20] <Psil0Cybin> i posted on the forums mean while.
[05:20] <exosteven> ive installed restricted extras and did sudo apt-get update and upgrade
[05:20] <Jordan_U> greyhatpython: What do you mean by "and the gksudo not available."?
[05:20] <greyhatpython> gksudo was not pre-installed in ubuntu 13.10
[05:21] <greyhatpython> how can i get root privilages with ubuntu live?
[05:22] <Jordan_U> greyhatpython: What is the output of "gksudo whoami" at a terminal?
[05:22] <greyhatpython> gksu is not installed
[05:23] <Psil0Cybin> gah anyone else perhaps have an idea what i can do when you upgrade your kernal and get a blackscreen and have tried using nomodeset
[05:23] <Psil0Cybin> perhaps ill try entering it manually again and seeing what will happen
[05:23] <BvL> Jordan_U, sudo apt-get install gksu
[05:23] <Jordan_U> greyhatpython: Please pastebin the exact output.
[05:23] <greyhatpython> I don't have internet on that system
[05:24] <greyhatpython> The problem is simple i don't internet on that system and i want to copy a file from that system to my pendrive.
[05:24] <Jordan_U> greyhatpython: You can use sudo and cp from the terminal to copy files.
[05:25] <sozu> Hi, anybody know why Conky disappear? Using some scripts on the desktop, but if I change to internet browser and then back again to desktop (ctrl+super+d), the conky scripts are gone again, and need to be re-launched by terminal or command to make it get back.
 so i can't use GUI?
[05:27] <Jordan_U> greyhatpython: You can also use just "sudo nautilus", but realize that it is *not* something you should do normally and can cause problems the next time you log in, but that's not too much of a concern since this is just a live environment, and will be gone once you reboot.
[05:27] <greyhatpython> I tried sudo nautilus and it didn't gave copy or paste option!
[05:32] <Psil0Cybin>  hey guys anyone know what i can do if i upgraded my kernal and am getting a blackscreen every time i boot??
[05:32] <Psil0Cybin> it shows the ubuntu splash screen
[05:32] <Psil0Cybin> then goes black when it supposed to show the login screen
[05:33] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: Please pastebin the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

[05:55] <misterli> Hello. Im very happy to use Ubuntu in replacement of Windows 8.1 but.. after ~1-2 hours the laptop turns off because of overheathing. I used the default drivers for the graphic card. What may be the reason? its on a cooler-platform
[05:55] <saliak> I'm trying to configure pptpd so I can connect to my home network and play shares from iTunes.  This requires that multicast packets be broadcast over the VPN.  Anyone have luck setting that up?

[05:58] <pixiebit> You know how Ubuntu has driver support? How do I mimic that for Debian?
[05:58] <scipi0> hi. I just added the sources "ppa:alexeftimie/ppa" and"ppa:kilian/f.lux" and now my computer takes an hour to read from package lists. I would get rid of it but the system source program crashes whenever I edit the system sources. Thanks!
[06:00] <cfhowlett> scipi0, gksudo edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:00] <cfhowlett> scipi0, not as pretty as the gui, but it'll get the job done.  rather than remove sources, you might want to just comment them out with #
[06:00] <scipi0> thanks
[06:01] <Gorroth> Jordan_U: what?
[06:01] <cfhowlett> scipi0, sudo not gksudo ... sorry.

[06:04] <misterli> is there any way that the wrong graphicdrivers causes the overheathing?
[06:04] <loki5103> i am running 13.10 and am connected via usb to a brother hl2280dw

[06:05] <Psil0Cybin> it seems that the graphic driver is not found...or no screens found
[06:05] <cfhowlett> scipi0, dude.  I'm in Beijing.  but if you run the software sources settings utility, you can test for the best connection.

[06:11] <BvL> are you on ubuntu x64 or x32
[06:14] <cfhowlett> SPEEDWAVE, as far as resetting to factory defaults, create a new user and switch to that account.
[06:15] <loki5103> bvl that would be great
[06:15] <BvL> ok
[06:16] <loki5103> im still really new at using linux and am still getting used to the terminal and various functions.   i seem to have a handle on it but the printer installation seems to be escaping me

[06:18] <Jordan_U> loki5103: What was the first thing you tried to get the printer working?
[06:18] <BvL> these are deb packages
[06:18] <loki5103> i ran the lpr and cups deb packages bc im running ubuntu 13.10
[06:19] <BvL> ok, its connected by usb
[06:19] <BvL> also ubuntu version plz, and x64 ir x32
[06:19] <loki5103> now it is...before it was networked
[06:19] <BvL> *or
[06:19] <loki5103> 13.10 x64
[06:20] <BvL> thanks, HL-2270DW only has x32 dirvers, but yours looks like it has x64
[06:20] <BvL> so it should be more simple to setup
[06:20] <BvL> its a multi function?
[06:20] <BvL> or just duplex printer
[06:20] <loki5103> laser with copier
[06:21] <loki5103> should be similar to yours
[06:21] <BvL> yes mine is duplex only
[06:21] <BvL> ok, to get the printing working
[06:22] <BvL> dash > type "printers"
[06:24] <Jordan_U> loki5103: What do you mean by "ran the lpr and cups deb pacakges"? What did you actually do?
[06:26] <Jordan_U> loki5103: Did you ever try just adding the printer via the "Printers" section of gnome-control-center?
[06:28] <existensil> So, I installed some updates and a few new packages (mysql-server, redis-server, build-essential, and some other dev/command line stuff) and after restarting I can't get to unity. I just get a black screen.
[06:28] <existensil> Anyone have any ideas for why that might be? the login screen works fine
[06:28] <existensil> I thought maybe it could be my users config so I used adduser to add another user, and that user gets a black screen too upon login
[06:28] <existensil> mouse is still present but no UI
[06:29] <existensil> not seeing anyting obvious in various /var/log entries i've cat'ed
[06:29] <existensil> but i might not be looking in the right place
[06:31] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys how can i diganose a blackscreen after a kernal upgrade
[06:31] <Psil0Cybin> i tried nomodeset and it does not work
[06:31] <Psil0Cybin> what can i attempt next
[06:32] <dannymichel> is it normal for no changes when changing hinting on fonts in gimp http://d.pr/v/2Bsc ?
[06:33] <existensil> Psil0Cybin: I am having the same trouble. What is nomodeset?
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> existensil: are you using an ascer aspire one by any chance
[06:33] <existensil> nope
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> nomodeset is a peramiter you can use on boot it helps fix some problems
[06:33] <existensil> heh
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> with blackscreens
[06:33] <pneftali> hi guys - i have accidentally executed this command: mv /* ../my-new-folder
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> so try restarting now
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> hit E
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> and type nomodset and ctrl+x
[06:33] <Psil0Cybin> on the kernal image
[06:34] <existensil> ah, i'll give that a try. might also try previous kernel
[06:34] <Psil0Cybin> existensil: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132

[06:34] <Psil0Cybin> but im rying to get the new ojne working
[06:34] <pneftali> basically all system files have been moved to a different folder
[06:35] <pneftali> is there a way to put them back to / ?
[06:36] <BuntuFuntu> Maybe use the mv command to move them back from new folder back to /?
[06:38] <pneftali> BuntuFuntu: i'm in the folder right now but can;t execute 'mv' command from here
[06:38] <pneftali> or any system command

[06:39] <geirha> assuming you've cd-ed into my-new-folder

[06:40] <pneftali> ah ok leme try
[06:40] <Psil0Cybin> if i cannot fix this problem
[06:40] <pneftali> so this will move the bin folder back to / right ?
[06:40] <Psil0Cybin> im thinking of removing the newest kernal

[06:46] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: can you post you dmesg
[06:46] <hitsujiTMO> your*
[06:47] <svector> my ubuntu 13 hp pavilion gives me No Signal on an external monitor
[06:47] <Psil0Cybin> hitsujiTMO: here is my Xorg Error
[06:47] <Psil0Cybin> http://pastebin.com/0PkgWSrT
[06:47] <Psil0Cybin> and ill post my dmesg
[06:47] <Psil0Cybin> now
[06:47] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: you also don't need nomodeset for that gpu
[06:47] <svector> I have confirmed that the cable and monitor are working fine
[06:48] <Psil0Cybin> dmesg hitsujiTMO
[06:48] <Psil0Cybin> http://pastebin.com/c7gr2sMh
[06:48] <gr33n7007h>  Psil0Cybin, try changing nomodeset with vesafb.nonsense=1
[06:48] <svector> could it be from the OS or missing drivers
[06:48] <svector> ?
[06:49] <Psil0Cybin> gr33n7007h:
[06:49] <Psil0Cybin> im going to write that down and try it
[06:49] <Psil0Cybin> one second
[06:50] <Psil0Cybin> so instead of nomodeset do vesafb.nonsense=1
[06:50] <gr33n7007h> yes
[06:50] <Psil0Cybin> k
[06:50] <Psil0Cybin> give me four minutes
[06:50] <Jordan_U> pneftali: Are  you still there?
[06:50] <Psil0Cybin> trying it now
[06:50] <gr33n7007h> ok
[06:52] <pneftali> Jordan_U: Yes, still here. And yes, i cd-ed to the new directory first
[06:54] <carmelia> hi all, what is the equivalent of updatedb in ubuntu?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> pneftali: What is the exact path to this new directory?
[06:54] <pneftali> Jordan_U: /home/new-directory
[06:55] <carmelia> found it thx
[06:56] <Jordan_U> pneftali: It's literrally called "new-directory"?
[06:57] <pneftali> Jordan_U: No. It's name of site with uuid at the end.
[06:57] <Jordan_U> carmelia: updatedb
[06:57] <Psil0Cybin> gr33n7007h:
[06:57] <Psil0Cybin> i think you are a god bro :P
[06:57] <Psil0Cybin> i think that command work flawlessly.
[06:57] <Psil0Cybin> worked*
[06:58] <Psil0Cybin> 3.2.0-56-generic-pae !! skys are blue!!
[06:58] <Jordan_U> pneftali: OK, are you just not using the actual name because it's long to type?
[06:58] <gr33n7007h> Psil0Cybin, it was worth a shot!
[06:58] <geirha> pneftali: does  echo [b]in/mv   output  bin/mv ?
[06:58]  * Psil0Cybin sings sunshine lollypops and rainbows....yadda yadda
[06:59] <pneftali> Jordan_U: Not gonna publicly type here the name of the site for security reasons :)
[06:59] <Psil0Cybin> okay now guys sort of a silly question, but might as well ask it and learn it how do i remove the REALLY REALLY old kernels that are piling up on my install :) just to make my computer
[06:59] <Psil0Cybin> boot super fast.
[07:00] <Psil0Cybin> would i do it with synap package manager?
[07:00] <pneftali> geirha: echoing mv outputs no command found
[07:00] <fahadash> I installed xubuntu through software center... Now youtube videos are choppy, the system is very slow in launching programs and responding to inputs... What should I check ?
[07:00] <[Gentoo]> Psil0Cybin: wont affect the boot speed at all
[07:00] <Psil0Cybin> [Gentoo]: oh really?
[07:00] <[Gentoo]> as you only boot into 1 kernel
[07:00] <Psil0Cybin> ah makes sense
[07:00] <Psil0Cybin> not even the grub?
[07:01] <[Gentoo]> wont affect anything exceopt disk space
[07:01] <Psil0Cybin> okay, so how many kernels is it going to keep saving? do i remove it manually, or does it keep lets say ten and then rotate and remove the really old ones
[07:01] <pneftali> anyway guys, thanks for support. It's now relayed over to other guys for them to fix.
[07:01] <Jordan_U> pneftali: That doesn't make sense since echo is a shell builtin. Are you sure you typed it correctly?
[07:01] <Psil0Cybin> and if i want to then go ahead and save the diskspace [Gentoo] what would i do ? use the synap package manager? and manually remove the old ones?
[07:01] <Psil0Cybin> or is it not recommended.
[07:01] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: you have to remove manually
[07:01] <Jordan_U> pneftali: Does "echo /home/new-folder/*" list any files?
[07:01] <geirha> pneftali: That's odd. If you're in bash, echo should be built in
[07:02] <Psil0Cybin> hitsujiTMO: okay, so how would I remove them manually from the terminal lets say?
[07:02] <Psil0Cybin> like im using 3.2.0-56-generic-pae but i have 3.2.0-28-generic-pae
[07:02] <Psil0Cybin> which is very old
[07:02] <Psil0Cybin> and not needed.
[07:02] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: start off with listing the packages involved: sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep "linux-"
[07:03] <geirha> pneftali: Now, the actual error message may have been that it couldn't find the libs mv need, if so, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or similar
[07:03] <[Gentoo]> Psil0Cybin: i try to help with general questions im not too sure about the ubuntu way to do it
[07:03] <geirha> but since you don't paste the exact error message, it's hard to tell
[07:04] <Psil0Cybin> okay hitsujiTMO i got the list
[07:04] <gr33n7007h> Psil0Cybin, just sudo apt-get purge <linux-image> that you don't need
[07:05] <pneftali> geirha: Yep. I tried similar approach setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH but same result. No worries guys, they are prolly gonna build another one I guess.
[07:05] <Psil0Cybin> oh so i would do like
[07:05] <Psil0Cybin> sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic-pae lets say?
[07:05] <gr33n7007h> Psil0Cybin, You got it!
[07:05] <geirha> pneftali: Booting the live session and moving them back from there is an option
[07:05] <Psil0Cybin> thanks :D!
[07:05] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: anything thats older than your current working kernel
[07:05] <Psil0Cybin> you guys are the beeest
[07:06] <Psil0Cybin> no joke 1 year ago i KNEW nothing about linux, you guys on this channel taught me everyyything :D
[07:06] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: also purge linux-headers-  for those kernels too
[07:06] <Psil0Cybin> who needs school when you have IRC ;)
[07:06] <Psil0Cybin> peerfect thanks for the tip!!
[07:06] <pneftali> geirha: Noted. Thanks a bunch :)
[07:07] <Jordan_U> pneftali: But this type of problem is fun to try to fix :) We haven't even tried using busybox utils (which are statically compiled).
[07:07] <pneftali> Jordan_U: Not when you still have lots of pending programming tasks to work with :D
[07:08] <geirha> Jordan_U: I guess we'll have to install Ubuntu in a vm and try doing the same :)
[07:10] <Psil0Cybin> wow deleting all those old kernals
[07:10] <Psil0Cybin> is sure gaining back storage
[07:10] <Psil0Cybin> its like 111mbs/kernel
[07:11] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: the headers alone take up most of the space
[07:11] <[Gentoo]> bloat :)
[07:11] <Psil0Cybin> ugh what sucks is i really want to remove my windows 7 partition but i cannot because i cannot remove that partition and resize my ubuntu partition to take up the whole computer
[07:11] <Psil0Cybin> i need to back up properly
[07:11] <Psil0Cybin> is there any other way perhaps to remove a windows 7 partition and resize an ubuntu partition
[07:11] <Psil0Cybin> witout causing corruption?
[07:12] <Psil0Cybin> perhaps using gparted
[07:12] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: doing so could really upset grub
[07:12] <Psil0Cybin> darn >.<
[07:12] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: Why do you'll get any corruption?
[07:12] <Psil0Cybin> i want windows off of here >.< without formatting
[07:13] <[Gentoo]> Psil0Cybin: how much free space do you have at the end of ubuntu partition?>
[07:13] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: *Why do you think you'lll get any corruption?
[07:13] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: it depends on how your partitions are reffered to in grub and fstab. if they're called by device, then it can defo cause problems. by UUID will be less problematic
[07:13] <Psil0Cybin> someone said because i installed ubuntu after windows 7
[07:13] <Psil0Cybin> i will get corruptions or problems
[07:13] <Psil0Cybin> removing windows 7 and resizing ubuntu
[07:13] <Psil0Cybin> my ubuntu partition is 48 gbs but my windows is 256 gbs
[07:13] <Psil0Cybin> i want to remove windows and have ubuntu take up the whole hard drive
[07:14] <Psil0Cybin> i havent used windows in over a year and its a 256Gb Waste of space!
[07:14] <Psil0Cybin> that is ticking me off
[07:14] <Psil0Cybin> i wish i knew i would fall in love with linux before i would have set this up properly from the start
[07:14] <[Gentoo]> you could do it, make a new partition at the end of ubuntu, rsync the data over, or clonezilla the partition only, delete windows and ubuntu and rsync it back and redo grub
[07:14] <Psil0Cybin> i was expecting to not like linux and never use it again
[07:15] <Psil0Cybin> is that hard to do [Gentoo] if im fairly new to linux
[07:15] <Psil0Cybin> like 1 year old user
[07:15] <Psil0Cybin> im up for it though when i have free time
[07:15] <[Gentoo]> how much space is in use on the ubuntu partition
[07:15] <wheatthin> as this is #ubuntu, I'd recommend that :)
[07:15] <Psil0Cybin> how can i find out forsure
[07:15] <Psil0Cybin> what is the proper command
[07:15] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: That's nonsense. You can resize an ext4 partition, and the order that the partitions were created in doesn't change that. The only possible issue is that it requires *much* more moving of data to resize "to the left" (it's easier to resize into free space at the end of a drive than the beginning).
[07:16] <Psil0Cybin> oh really??
[07:16] <Psil0Cybin> see i know nothing about resizing hard drives properly
[07:16] <Psil0Cybin> and partitions :(
[07:16] <[Gentoo]> Psil0Cybin: it can take a long long time
[07:16] <Psil0Cybin> so...ill leave it running all day and night
[07:16] <Psil0Cybin> i dont mind
[07:16] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[07:17] <Psil0Cybin> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/xjGXdbNi
[07:18] <Psil0Cybin> i am just wondering if it is better to format and backup everything (themes,changes,etc)
[07:19] <Psil0Cybin> then do the task of making a new partition moving it all over, and back and forth
[07:19] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: You should already have backups of anything important.
[07:19] <Psil0Cybin> That is true.
[07:19] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: have you 320gb free on an external drive? you can dd the entire disk to an image and be free to do whatever knowing you can always go back to your backup
[07:20] <Psil0Cybin> hitsujiTMO: that is very true
[07:20] <Psil0Cybin> never thougth of that but i do not
[07:20] <Psil0Cybin> how long would it take to make a image that big
[07:20] <Psil0Cybin> lmao
[07:20] <Jordan_U> Psil0Cybin: It depends on how long you think it will take you to get back to the state you want. It will almost certainly be faster to re-install than to move 64 GiB of data, but configuring things from a fresh install to what you want is another question.
[07:21] <Psil0Cybin> that is true
[07:21] <Psil0Cybin> perhaps i will do a fresh install
[07:21] <BuntuFuntu> Ubuntu resides on my laptops 225gb HDD
[07:21] <hitsujiTMO> Psil0Cybin: prob about 3 to 6 hours depending
[07:21] <Psil0Cybin> and just encrypt my partition from the start ;) to make it worth it
[07:21] <BuntuFuntu> 250*
[07:22] <Psil0Cybin> i guess now that i know moe about linux
[07:22] <Psil0Cybin> a fresh install would be better..
[07:22] <Psil0Cybin> start clean
[07:22] <hitsujiTMO> I just have a 60gb ssd for ubuntu on this laptop. it's all i need for it :)
[07:23] <BuntuFuntu> No trace of Windows on my HDD ^.^
[07:23] <Psil0Cybin> BuntuFuntu: jelous
[07:23] <Psil0Cybin> i want windows to gtfo
[07:23] <Psil0Cybin> only thing you need windows for
[07:24] <[Gentoo]> is antivirus
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> is a 10gb partition with only adobe photoshop
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> disconnect it from the internet
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> thats thats the only use for windows for me
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> only till gimp gets a little better.
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> then windows is obsolete in my eyes.
[07:24] <[Gentoo]> gimp will never be anywhere near as good as photoshop
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> well tell bill he can say thanks to adobe
[07:24] <[Gentoo]> but photoshop is one of them programs
[07:24] <Psil0Cybin> because without adobe hes nothing :)
[07:25] <BuntuFuntu> I told Windows to gtfo this summer.
[07:25] <Psil0Cybin> haha
[07:25] <BuntuFuntu> Linux resides more happily on my HDD. Uses resources more efficiently.
[07:25] <Psil0Cybin> ;)
[07:25] <BuntuFuntu> Hell, this Lenovo S100 even came with linux(:
[07:26] <BuntuFuntu> MeeGo, to be exact.
[07:26] <Psil0Cybin> linux honestly blows my mind how something that can be free, litterely blows windows out of the water
[07:26] <Psil0Cybin> when it comes to productivity, customizations, almost everything
[07:26] <BuntuFuntu> Psilo, Ikr?
[07:26] <Psil0Cybin> lkr?
[07:26] <BuntuFuntu> ^.^
[07:26] <BuntuFuntu> Something so free, can look soooooo nice.
[07:26] <Psil0Cybin> whats lkr lol
[07:26] <BuntuFuntu> ikr: I know, right?
[07:27] <[Gentoo]> linux is pretty common on desktop now
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> haha yea [Gentoo] not really, everyone who sees me use linux
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> gives me a 0.o
[07:27] <[Gentoo]> couple of years ago the average joe hadnt even heard of it
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> except a few kids in a college beside my university cuz they study linux
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> im going to switch programs, i never knew i could learn linux in school
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> but our school works on fedora core
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> :S
[07:27] <Psil0Cybin> and is part of the mozilla team
[07:27] <BuntuFuntu> Yeah noone in my high school works on Linux
[07:28] <Psil0Cybin> well when u get older man look into it for a job
[07:28] <Psil0Cybin> i was never told this stuff
[07:28] <Psil0Cybin> my biggest regret
[07:28] <Psil0Cybin> i do all this linux for fun :S
[07:28] <FloodBot1> Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:28] <[Gentoo]> most peopple do
[07:28] <BuntuFuntu> I asked the IT Guy why we don't because it's free and stuff
[07:28] <BuntuFuntu> He's like : Well Microsoft gave us a district wide license.
[07:29] <BuntuFuntu> Well yeah, but it cost monies. ._.
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> lol same with my high school
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> dude they gave me a laptop becasue i had ADD, i formatted it even though they put deep freeze on it
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> put linux
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> gave it back to them 2 years later
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> they thought it was a virus
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> !! a friggin virus
[07:29] <[Gentoo]> the thing is most people dont have the time for linux, even on ubuntu you need to do tweaks now and then
[07:29] <FloodBot1> Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> they said my virus removed there deep freeze
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> and i broke this rule and blah blah blah and its not a personal computer
[07:29] <Psil0Cybin> its an educational tool
[07:30] <BuntuFuntu> Lol my computer I got second hand from a school.
[07:30] <BuntuFuntu> They didn't remove their stupid login to the school server thing
[07:30] <Psil0Cybin> LOL
[07:30] <BuntuFuntu> so I said screw it. Downloaded ubuntu onto a flash drive.
[07:31] <BuntuFuntu> Well actually I used Puppy Linux at first on this
[07:31] <BuntuFuntu> Wiped windows, Installed Puppy.
[07:31] <BuntuFuntu> Great OS, doesn't support all hardware doe. They use an older kernel for Lucid Pup.. my touchpad didnt work
[07:31] <Psil0Cybin> Honestly man highschool are so bad when it comes to security, thats all im going to say ;) would be very very easy to change your grades.
[07:31] <west> how do i bluetooth files to ubuntu.
[07:32] <Psil0Cybin> west: do you see the bluetooth applet?
[07:32] <Psil0Cybin> within the unity application bar?
[07:32] <BuntuFuntu> Oh defo psilo(:
[07:32] <BuntuFuntu> I love Ubuntu's status bar at the top. Reminds me of a cellphone.
[07:33] <west> Psil0Cybin, where would it be.
[07:33] <west> Psil0Cybin, oh bluetooth manager. found it. but last time i had trouble using it.
[07:34] <Psil0Cybin> west: to be honest, i never use it.. i disabled bluetooth (no use for it) but the manager should work what was the trouble using it? exactly?
[07:35] <Psil0Cybin> check if perhaps bluetooth is disabled in your application startup
[07:35] <FZombie> this 13.04-13.10 + switch from ubuntu to xubuntu is taking forever. Someone entertain me while I watch the Setting up and Installing scroll by.
[07:36] <[Gentoo]> FZombie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
[07:36] <FZombie> #ubuntu pulls trough again, good job [Gentoo]
[07:36] <west> Psil0Cybin, seems all the options are greyed out.
[07:36] <Psil0Cybin> west: if that is the case, check if your startup application has bluetooth checked off or unchecked
[07:37] <Psil0Cybin> also perhaps your keyboard has bluetooth turned off?
[07:37] <west> how do i check through terminal if it is on. like with wifi.
[07:37] <Psil0Cybin> try
[07:37] <Psil0Cybin> 'hcitool dev'
[07:37] <Psil0Cybin> it will show all your devices turned on
[07:37] <FZombie> That guy has too many changes of clothes, he should have stayed in the trenchcoat
[07:38] <Psil0Cybin> or adapters i think
[07:40] <BuntuFuntu> Well time to go to bed. Night(:
[07:40] <Psil0Cybin> good night brother.
[07:41] <west> hcitool dev reads out Devices: and thats it.
[07:41] <west> and where is application startup
[07:42] <west> im looking
[07:42] <west> oh it's under sesions and startup
[07:42] <Psil0Cybin> yea yea
[07:42] <Psil0Cybin> do you see it?
[07:42] <Psil0Cybin> sorry I am semi new too, so we are doing this via GUI.
[07:43] <Psil0Cybin> brb i need to walk my dog got lost on irc should have walked her 2 hours ago.
[07:43] <west> in startup bluetooth applet and manager are checked. do I need both checked?
[07:44] <Psil0Cybin> hmm that is odd, that it is grayed out...do you have a bluetooth driver properly installed?
[07:44] <Psil0Cybin> you cannot see any devices correct?
[07:44] <west> under hcitool dev nothing
[07:44] <Psil0Cybin> via the gui for bluetooth applet
[07:45] <Psil0Cybin> sorry gimme like 20 mins to walk the pooch ill help you / learn how too help you
[07:45] <Psil0Cybin> while helping you
[07:45] <west> ok.
[07:45] <Kartagis> I am using ubuntu 13.10, and whenever I get a notification from skype, my sound card goes 'buzzzzz'. any ideas?
[07:45] <west> i keep working at it
[07:46] <gr33n7007h> west, type in terminal: bluetoothd -u
[07:47] <west> gr33n7007h, it reads out ... D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.55" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file
[07:48] <gr33n7007h> west, maybe sudo
[07:49] <west> with sudo it says ...  D-Bus setup failed: Name already in use
[07:50] <gr33n7007h> west, Leave a few minutes, then try again, then go to bluetooth applet should be un-greyed
[07:52] <TheKingOfPoon> hello :)
[07:53] <west> ok
[07:53] <TheKingOfPoon> hm, well alright then
[07:54] <TheMas3212> Um is anyone available that would be willing to help me?
[07:54] <TheKingOfPoon> cha need?
[07:54] <TheMas3212> I use 13.04 64bit
[07:55] <TheMas3212> and since an update yesterday pulseaudio isn't seeing any sound cards but if i run eg rhythmbox with sudo the sound works fine?
[07:56] <Psil0Cybin> gr33n7007h: hey i just restarted my computer 5 times and out of 5 times 3 times i got the blackscreen again, what can i do because vesafb.nonsense=1 does not seem to work
[07:56] <Psil0Cybin> its clearly my video card driver with the new kernal
[07:57] <Psil0Cybin> like im resorting back to the old kernel
[07:57] <Psil0Cybin> what are other commands i can try other then nomodset and vesafb.nonsense=1
[07:58] <Psil0Cybin> i really want to fix and diagnose this blackscreen problem with this newer kernel asap :P
[08:00] <gr33n7007h> Psil0Cybin, I'v got no more solutions i'm afraid.
[08:03] <wheatthin> Psil0Cybin, have you tried changing bitrate?
[08:04] <Psil0Cybin> wheatthin: how would i change bitrate?
[08:04] <Psil0Cybin> sorry the old kerne;l worked fine so i never played with this stuff before
[08:05] <wheatthin> ahh ok, if the old kernel worked fine, then you need to reinstall your graphics drivers for the newer kernel
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> wheathin god darn it
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> but would i then have to reinstall it every kernel update?
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> how come it would work randomly
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> like for 3 reboots it would not work but then 2 times it would work fine
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> :S
[08:06] <wheatthin> cause not every update is a kernel update
[08:06] <Psil0Cybin> wheatthin: is it hard to build drivers from scratch?
[08:07] <Psil0Cybin> im a little nervous
[08:07] <Psil0Cybin> but i like using the nwest kernels
[08:07] <wheatthin> Psil0Cybin, you don't need to build from scratch.. just reinstall them lol
[08:07] <Psil0Cybin> using the additional drivers?
[08:07] <wheatthin> yup
[08:07] <Psil0Cybin> oh actually....
[08:07] <Psil0Cybin> that easy?
[08:07] <Psil0Cybin> but i have to be in the problematic kernel
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> to do it right?
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> so i have to keep rebooting till i finally get in
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> and reinstall the drivers?
[08:08] <wheatthin> yup.. so you can update it through apt-get
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> but i did use apt-get
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> and nothing happend
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> when i was on the problematic kernel
[08:08] <Psil0Cybin> it said i was up to date
[08:09] <wheatthin> no, not update.. apt-get reinstall <drivername>
[08:09] <hitsujiTMO> wheatthin: there's no drivers for his gfx card. its a gma3600 so he can only use vesa
[08:09] <Psil0Cybin> its like cedarview or something
[08:09] <Psil0Cybin> other then the default
[08:09] <Psil0Cybin> darn so whta should i do
[08:09] <wheatthin> intel drivers
[08:09] <hitsujiTMO> wheatthin: there are no drivers for the gma3600
[08:11] <gr33n7007h> Psil0Cybin, Try this one thing, remove vesafb.nonsense=1 and splash paramters, see how that boots
[08:11] <Psil0Cybin> kk so remove versa and splash?
[08:12] <gr33n7007h> yeah
[08:12] <Psil0Cybin> will try it and let you know in a few minutes :)
[08:12] <gr33n7007h> ok
[08:12] <Psil0Cybin> gr33n7007h: so i leave
[08:12] <Psil0Cybin> splash
[08:12] <Psil0Cybin> atm right?
[08:12] <gr33n7007h> no remove both
[08:12] <Psil0Cybin> so remove it all
[08:13] <gr33n7007h> vesa and splash yes
[08:13] <Psil0Cybin> kk so i just leave
[08:13] <Psil0Cybin> quiet kk
[08:13] <gr33n7007h> yeah
[08:13] <Psil0Cybin> one second restart
[08:14] <wheatthin> hmm latest stable kernel 3.3.1 has gma3600 drivers
[08:15] <TheKingOfPoon> what version of ubuntu can i put on my 80286 with 287 co processor
[08:20] <Psil0Cybin> gr33n7007h: did not work booted me into terminal
[08:20] <Psil0Cybin> i am so out of ideas :( sigh
[08:20] <Psil0Cybin> do i just assume this kernel will not work for my card?
[08:22] <gr33n7007h> Psil0Cybin, I'm out of ideas
[08:22] <Psil0Cybin> darn okay thanks anyway
[08:22] <Psil0Cybin> for scratching your noodle for me :)
[08:22]  * snql .
[08:23] <TheKingOfPoon> ill scratch my noodle anytime bby
[08:23] <Psil0Cybin> hahahahahahah
[08:24] <pacy_> TheKingOfPoon: Maybe ELKS-Linux or Minux2.0
[08:24] <TheKingOfPoon> sweet thx
[08:25] <nonmae> hello,i have tried building omni rom just now.but i have met with some compile errors.can you help me?http://pastebin.com/5RcYrQht
[08:28] <Danato> how can I change my login brightness? Whenever I login its too dark to see anything, and I always have to change that with my keyboard keys. Is there a way to make it automatic?
[08:30] <hitsujiTMO> Danato can you pastebin the output of xrandr
[08:31] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: jst a sec
[08:32] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/kATXKKyF
[08:35] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you confirm if this commands sucessfully changes the brightness: xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.5
[08:36] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: yes it does
[08:36] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: to set it back do: xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 1
[08:36] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:39] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: you should be able to set that to run when lightdm starts. where to put it depends on what version of ubuntu you are using
[08:44] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: sorry my wifi fell for a while, I might have missed something from you after you asked what version am I running
[08:44] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: would you mind to repeat?
[08:44] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: yes what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:45] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: 13.10 with kde
[08:45] <hitsujiTMO> ahh, what login manager are you using?
[08:46] <hitsujiTMO> kdm is it?
[08:46] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: I think its plasma desktop or something like that
[08:48] <pacy_> /etc/X11/default-display-manager ;)
[08:48] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you try oneither thing before we continue: can you confirm if setting xrandr works with your hardware settings acpi try: xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.3          and then use the hardware button to bring up the brightness.
[08:49] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: gotta make sure they are controlling the same thing before
[08:50] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: hmm actually no, they are not controlling the same thing
[08:50] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: then set xrandr brightness to 1 again
[08:51] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: already did it
[08:52] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you pastebin the output of: ls -l /etc/acpi/events
[08:53] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/da409nJC
[08:54] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you pastebin: cat /etc/acpi/events/asus-keyboard-backlight-up
[08:55] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/fjXuspRD
[08:56] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: next pastebin: cat /etc/acpi/asus-keyboard-backlight.sh
[08:57] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: http://pastebin.com/4X9anYk0
[08:57] <hitsujiTMO> sweet we'll be able to make a script from this
[08:58] <Danato> great
[09:00] <alfonsojon> Hello
[09:00] <alfonsojon> I was using Ubuntu 13.10, I have installed 12.04 over it and most was working correctly.
[09:00] <alfonsojon> However, upon booting, my graphics were messed up as I was still on the saucy kernel and not the precise kernel.
[09:01] <alfonsojon> Unfortunately, it appears the kernel is no longer listed in apt, so how can I go about reinstalling Linux with it's headers properly?
[09:01] <alfonsojon> I would also like to purge the saucy kernel.
[09:02] <johelish> Greetings. I'm trying to connect with a specific user but I need to run the command as root. . how do I get key from another user to work with root?
[09:02] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you save this as /etc/acpi/max_brightness.sh            http://paste.ubuntu.com/6398609/
[09:02] <alfonsojon> Try looking into su
[09:02] <alfonsojon> man su
[09:03] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: ill try that
[09:03] <kriskropd> im on a core 2 duo:dual core running 13.04 - why might htop show both of my cpus running around 5-10% but load average looks like this 'Load average: 9.76 5.79 2.92' - it spikes every so often and does this but I can't tell what is causing the load spikes because nothing looks abnormal in htop
[09:03] <bersam> hi everybody, i have a cron on my system that run every night at 1 AM, but i can't find it in crontab -e ... mail send to my user but still i can't find anything!
[09:03] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: then once you've saved it: sudo chmod a+x /etc/acpi/max_brightness.sh
[09:04] <alfonsojon> bersam: Check you're not running it as root
[09:04] <alfonsojon> Each user has a cron.
[09:04] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: after that you jest need to get that to run when your displaymanager loads
[09:04] <alfonsojon> Try sudo crontab -e and check if it's there.
[09:04] <hitsujiTMO> just*
[09:04] <johelish> where are keys stored for root?
[09:05] <bersam> alfonsojon: actually I am running it as root ... but still i can't find it in root crontab eighter
[09:05] <alfonsojon> Check without root
[09:05] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: done, but how do i do the last step?
[09:06] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you paste: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[09:06] <bersam> alfonsojon: mail send to root@myserver, and i check all users... i also check in /etc/cron.daily
[09:06] <alfonsojon> strange.
[09:06] <bersam> alfonsojon: i can see it running in /var/log/syslog but can't find out where it does start!
[09:06] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: it was kdm after all :P
[09:06] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cool, ill have a look now how to get kdm to call a script
[09:07] <alfonsojon> Hm.
[09:07] <glitsj16> bersam: i suppose you've already checked /etc/crontab as well?
[09:07] <alfonsojon> bersam, I would help more
[09:07] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you: ls -l /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
[09:08] <alfonsojon> But that's beyond my knowledge
[09:08] <alfonsojon> I apologise
[09:08] <alfonsojon> I actually came here for some help with kernel troubles.
[09:08] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO:  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 223 10月  2 03:14 /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
[09:08] <bersam> glitsj16: yes ...
[09:08] <hittt> Im sorry for the stupid question but i cant open any programs right now -- What was the command to print the current distro?
[09:09] <bersam> alfonsojon: thanks at all :)
[09:10] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: sudo printf "\n/etc/acpi/max_brightness.sh\n" >> /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
[09:10] <alfonsojon> hitsujiTMO: Why not echo?
[09:10] <hitsujiTMO> alfonsojon: printf is more reliable
[09:10] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO:  Permission denied?
[09:10] <pfalcone> hittt, take a look inside /etc/issue. if that wasn't altered, you can try using that.
[09:10] <alfonsojon> Alright
[09:10] <alfonsojon> I know that printf doesn't do line breaks unless told to
[09:11] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: silly me, should be using tee
[09:11] <Danato> hittt: lsb_release -a
[09:11] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: 2 secs
[09:11] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO:  no problem
[09:12] <glitsj16> bersam: i'd do a search with gedit (or similar) into /etc for any of the mail params you can identify and see if you can track it down that way .. just a thought
[09:12] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: printf "\n/etc/acpi/max_brightness.sh\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
[09:12] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO:  /etc/acpi/max_brightness.sh
[09:12] <hittt> pfalcone, Danato: Thank you, both worked! And yeah 13.10! :')
[09:13] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: once you've that run can you restart and test it?
[09:14] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO:  sure can, brb
[09:15] <hitsujiTMO> alfonsojon: under certain conditions echo will ignore certain flags ( such as -ne ). SOmetimes its hard to predict this behavior. so i've gotten used to using printf instead.
[09:16] <Eugene_mac> Hello everyone!
[09:16] <Eugene_mac> I have just got a new iMac 14.3 with 21.5' display. It has Intel i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT750M graphics card with GPU (Device ID: 0x00fe9). I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 on it (dual boot with refit). Everything works fine apart from graphics. It is clear that graphics' not accelerated. I have tried to
[09:16] <Eugene_mac> 1) Install nvidia drivers from the repository.
[09:16] <Eugene_mac> 2) Download nvidia drivers and install them manually.
[09:16] <Eugene_mac> 3) Follow instructions on http://falkvinge.net/2013/02/15/how-...12-10-quantal/ .
[09:16] <FloodBot1> Eugene_mac: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:19] <Eugene_mac> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6398664/
[09:20] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: i still had o use the buttons to bring the brightness up, although it gave me the impression that it was a bit better, at least I could see that the pc was open
[09:20] <Eugene_mac> Hi all, I have a question, pasted on http://paste.ubuntu.com/6398664/ . I'm sorry for the little mess I've created here. Can anybody bother himself with helping me?
[09:20] <Danato>  hitsujiTMO: ill back in 5 minutes
[09:21] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cool
[09:25] <hittt> I just finished upgrading to 13.10 but Gnome refuses to work properly - KDE works fine but still reports an internal system error
[09:25] <hittt> refuses to work properly = black screen, no mouse, but notifications actually show!
[09:27] <junktext> Eugene_mac, I can't see your URL links that you posted to PasteBin, and I don't use a Mac, but generally trying to install NVIDIA drivers manually can be somewhat difficult.  Were you able to play around with any of the NVIDIA drivers that come with Ubuntu?
[09:28] <junktext> Like the ones found by going to "Software & Updates" -> "Additional Drivers"?
[09:29] <shellox> hi
[09:29] <shellox> did anyone manage to install ubuntu server with raid1 + uefi?
[09:29] <shellox> i really stuck there
[09:31] <ga_> hi , does any one can help me that does the chrome work with the 13 version ?
[09:31] <alfonsojon> It does
[09:31] <hitsujiTMO> !details | ga_
[09:31] <alfonsojon> I believe he means "Does Google Chrome run under Ubuntu 13.10"
[09:31] <hitsujiTMO> ga_: yes
[09:32] <Eugene_mac> I also have the question here, if it helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2186000   ; The problem is that I don't see any drivers with the OS
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> ga_: works in Raring here
[09:32] <hitsujiTMO> ga_: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
[09:32] <ga_> I tried to install it many times and it shows in installing and then when i see after some time there is nothing installed
[09:32] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  im back, sorry for that
[09:32] <alfonsojon> Hm...
[09:32] <hitsujiTMO> ga_: run: sudo apt-get -f install
[09:32] <alfonsojon> ga_: Are any errors displayed?
[09:32] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  i tried again and it actually ddnt seem to change :/
[09:33] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cool. lets see exactly whats controlling your backlight. pastebin: ls -l /sys/class/backlight
[09:33] <ga_> no
[09:33] <hitsujiTMO> ga_: have you run?: sudo apt-get -f install
[09:34] <ga_> yes
[09:34] <junktext> Eugene_mac, I'm off to bed, (not sure if this helps) but if you are not sure where those options I mentioned are found, they are in the "System Settings..." (that you can find by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner).
 <hitsujiTMO>
 yes its says no errors
[09:34] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  http://pastebin.com/dxALbWub
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> ga_: install the deb in a terminal instead, the output will be useful
[09:34] <ga_> ok
[09:35] <hitsujiTMO> ga_: can you pastebin the output of: google-chrome
[09:35] <ga_> let me try actionparnsip
[09:35] <alfonsojon> sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[09:35] <Eugene_mac> junktext, I'm sure there are no NVIDIA drivers there
[09:36] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  could it be related to my laptop having 2 graphics card or something like that? It uses a graphics card, and when I open a game for example it switches to the other one
[09:36] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  the model is Lenovo GT780
[09:36] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you cd to: /sys/class/brightness/intel_backlight
[09:37] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: that shouldn't be an issue tbh
[09:37] <alfonsojon> Is this a toshiba laptop you guys are talking about?
[09:37] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: after you've cd there, can you bring down the brightness on your laptop so we can test
[09:37] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys i recently upgraded my kernel and after the update i got a blackscreen i edited the peramiters to nomodeset and vesafb.nonsense=1 it will work here and there but i can never get a stable expereince like if i restart it one time it will work
[09:37] <Psil0Cybin> the next it wont
[09:38] <ga_> thanks everyone done via terminal
[09:38] <Psil0Cybin> and ill get a blackscreen anyone know what else i can do to diagnose this
[09:38] <alfonsojon> Danato: Is this a Toshiba laptop?
[09:38] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: after you've brought down the brightness can you run: cat max_brightness | sudo tee brightness
[09:38] <ShapeShifter499> oh man, oh fffff I shot my self in my foot by accidentally writing a debian live iso to the wrong media using dd! The system is running ubuntu 13.10 64bit and when I realized this I stopped the write 200mb in...how do I recover the rest of the data I didn't overwrite?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> Psil0Cybin: what video chip(s) do you use?
[09:39] <ShapeShifter499> all I need is /home and /etc
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: use your backups to recover data easily
[09:39] <alfonsojon> ShapeShifter499: I actually did that to my install :)
[09:39] <alfonsojon> Your'e in luck, I know how to fix it
[09:39] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: I was in the proccess of backing up when I made the error!
[09:39] <alfonsojon> Most of your data should be recoverable.
[09:39] <ShapeShifter499> *process
[09:40] <alfonsojon> You need GParted and gpart.
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: then the data is gone, you have overwritten data with new data
[09:40] <alfonsojon> sudo apt-get install gparted gpart
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: the data not written over is recoverable
[09:40] <Psil0Cybin> ActionParsnip: its a Acer Aspire One, so its an Intel Chipset
[09:40] <alfonsojon> Well actually, try this instead
[09:40] <Psil0Cybin> but i am not sure exactly which one
[09:40] <alfonsojon> What filesystem is it?
[09:40] <Psil0Cybin> i am using a previous kernel to access xchat and talk to u ugys
[09:40] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: I just want the files that did NOT get overwritten
[09:40] <alfonsojon> ShapeShifter499: What filesystem? FAT32, NTFS, or EXT4?
[09:40] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  theres no /sys/class/brightness here
[09:41] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cd to /sys/class/brightness/intel_backlight
[09:41] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: should be the standard ext4 that ubuntu installer set up
[09:41] <alfonsojon> Alright.
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: use ubuntu live cd
[09:41] <alfonsojon> Can you access a terminal?
[09:41] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: my system has not rebooted yet and I still have access to unity
[09:41] <ShapeShifter499> seems I can bring up a terminal
[09:41] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: wait, what you're ls -l /sys/class/brightness displayed results
[09:41] <alfonsojon> Reboot into a Ubuntu installer disk
[09:42] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: ok one second
[09:42] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you pastebin: ls -l /sys/class
[09:42] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: I only have a debian iso around, should be just as good right?
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: as long as you cna mount he file systems, any distro will do
[09:43] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: alfonsojon rebooting now then
[09:43] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: the brightness folder doesnt exist
[09:43] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: ok
[09:43] <alfonsojon> It can be a GParted live cd
[09:43] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can Danato sorry. brightness should be backlight... my bad
[09:43] <alfonsojon> So long as you have a terminal (and GParted as a nice extra)
[09:43] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cd to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight
[09:44] <jox> just make it cool
[09:44] <jox> like what it should always be
[09:45] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: done
[09:45] <Danato> clear
[09:45] <ga_> any tool for screen capture like in windows it have snipping tool
[09:45] <Danato> sorry
[09:45] <ga_> thanks for the help and support
[09:45] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: bring down your display brightness and then run: cat max_brightness | sudo tee brightness
[09:46] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: alfonsojon let me find the old disk one second
[09:46] <alfonsojon> Alright.
[09:47] <tga0> hey, does anyone understand how xmodmap works? I am trying to remap my keys around without much success
[09:47] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: is that working?
[09:48] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  yeah they changed different brightnesses
[09:48] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  idk if that made sense
[09:48] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  it became bright but the colors are pale
[09:49] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: is it too bright? bring down your brightness again
[09:51] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you tell me the output of: cat max_brightness
[09:52] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  i wouldnt say its too bright, when i run the command xrandr to brightness 0.5, it becomes dark and pale, and when I used the other command you told me there was light coming from the screen (jst as if i changed it with the keyboard) but it was still pale
[09:52] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  976
[09:52] <ShapeShifter499> ActionParsnip: alfonsojon found a ubuntu disk and booted into it
[09:52] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: maybe its a different device we need to change ... or multiple devices
[09:53] <alfonsojon> Okay Shapeshifter
[09:53] <ShapeShifter499> 13.04
[09:53] <alfonsojon> Is ubuntu the only operating system you have on this PC or do you dual boot with Windows?
[09:53] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you: cd ../acpi_video0
[09:53] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: just ubuntu
[09:53] <alfonsojon> Okay.
[09:53] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  done
[09:53] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cat brightness
[09:53] <alfonsojon> Open GParted and verify that the corrupted partition is /dev/sda1.
[09:54] <alfonsojon> It should say unknown
[09:54] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  0
[09:54] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: one sec
[09:54] <alfonsojon> Or it will identify, but will have an exclamation point, which indicates an error
[09:54] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you change the brightness on your keyboard and then again: cat brightness
[09:55] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: I haven't got the desktop yet
[09:55] <ShapeShifter499> still loading
[09:55] <alfonsojon> Alright.
[09:55] <alfonsojon> Let me know when you're loaded up.
[09:56] <Jordan_U> alfonsojon: There won't be any partitions, unless the image that ShapeShifter499 dd-ed to the drive contained a partition table, and even then any partitions will not match the start of the partition that used to be there.
[09:56] <shellox> how to install to uefi?
[09:56] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  I put it on max, but cat brightness still showed me 0
[09:56] <alfonsojon> I'm going based off experience
[09:56] <shellox> i have a partition as type uefi boot
[09:56] <alfonsojon> I DD'd an Ubuntu installer to /dev/sda
[09:56] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cd ../acpi_video1
[09:56] <shellox> on a raid 1 device
[09:56] <alfonsojon> I recovered by first verifying the partition table, then running sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1
[09:57] <alfonsojon> It was even bootable after that, but then again, I only destroyed the MBR
[09:57] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  cat brightness: 100
[09:57] <alfonsojon> and the first few KB of my sda1 partition
[09:57] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you change the brightness on your keyboard and then again: cat brightness
[09:58] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  4 now
[09:58] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: i think we have a winner :P
[09:58] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  yay  :D
[09:58] <hitsujiTMO> once more: cd ../intel_backlight
[09:58] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: cat brightness
[09:59] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: can you change the brightness on your keyboard and then again: cat brightness
[09:59] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: ok loaded now gparted right?
[09:59] <alfonsojon> Yes
[09:59] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  306
[09:59] <alfonsojon> Let me know if anything pops up. If not, look at the structure of /dev/sda.
[10:00] <alfonsojon> Typically, it is one partition being ext4, with a swap partition the size of your RAM.
[10:00] <shafire> hi
[10:00] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: both times? 306
[10:00] <alfonsojon> If it says anything is unknown, or shows no partitions, let me know.
[10:01] <DeepBlue> http://helallinux.com/paste/show.php?id=1295
[10:01] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: it shows one unkown and a unallocated
[10:02] <tga0> my xmodmap looks like this, any idea why it wouldn't work? https://dpaste.de/jRe1
[10:02] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  no it changes as i change the brightness on my keyboard, now 663
[10:02] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: hmm so we have 2 values to change then
[10:02] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: the unkown has the name of my iso
[10:02] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  btw the brightness on xrandr is still 0.5
[10:02] <alfonsojon> That's not good, but we might be able to save the data
[10:02] <alfonsojon> The unknown one is /dev/sda1, correct?
[10:03] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: yes
[10:03] <alfonsojon> Run this command.
[10:03] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: set that back to 1: xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 1
[10:03] <alfonsojon> sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1
[10:03] <alfonsojon> Let me know if it spits anything out
[10:04] <bingo> hello. can anybody hook me up with a great ubuntu wallpaper site?
[10:04] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: bad magic number in super-block
[10:04] <Jordan_U> ShapeShifter499: Please pastebin the output of "
[10:04] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  it ddnt change the value after i changed it to 1
[10:04] <Jordan_U> ShapeShifter499: ... of "sudo parted -l".
[10:04] <alfonsojon> Okay, try this now
[10:04] <alfonsojon> sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda1
[10:05] <DeepBlue> http://www.mpaste.com/p/7n8VSLwgbQ
[10:05] <alfonsojon> It should say something about superblock backups
[10:05] <Danato> hitsujiTMO: keyboard control at max brightness is 765, both with xrandr at 0.5 and 1
[10:05] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: yes they are definately controlling 2 different things
[10:06] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: Jordan_U one second
[10:06] <DeepBlue> http://www.mpaste.com/p/7n8VSLwgbQ
[10:07] <alfonsojon> Alright.
[10:07] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: Jordan_U www.pastebin.com/VnsUc7z8
[10:07] <DeepBlue> http://www.mpaste.com/p/7n8VSLwgbQ
[10:07] <alfonsojon> Ok
[10:07] <alfonsojon> I need you to run that command
[10:07] <alfonsojon> sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda1
[10:08] <FreezeS> Hi guys, I've got a dns problem on 13.10 server. If I run ping yahoo.com for example, it works instantly. However, on wget yahoo.com, it waits ~3 seconds for dns resolve. Any tips ?
[10:08] <alfonsojon> sda*
[10:08] <alfonsojon> not sda1
[10:08] <alfonsojon> sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda
[10:08] <hitsujiTMO> Danato: i'm just writing and testing a script now, will be a few mins
[10:08] <DJones> DeepBlue: Rather than posting links, you would be better explaining your problem in the channel, generally, people won't click on random links unless they're expecting the results of a pastebin
[10:09] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: this is what I ran www.pastebin.com/HP3curzA
[10:09] <alfonsojon> I corrected it
[10:09] <alfonsojon> Not /dev/sda1
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> FreezeS: tried a different DNS server?
[10:10] <alfonsojon> sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda
[10:10] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: look below that
[10:10] <alfonsojon> oh
[10:10] <ShapeShifter499> alfonsojon: I also ran that
[10:10] <FreezeS> ActionParsnip: yes
[10:10] <alfonsojon> Alright, there's what I need
[10:10] <Danato> hitsujiTMO:  ok no problem
[10:10] <alfonsojon> Now run this.
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> FreezeS: have you tried downloading with curl instead?
[10:10] <alfonsojon> sudo e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda
