| vladis | whoa | 00:12 |
| ekristen | just universe and chris-lea/node.js | 00:12 |
| ikonia | ekristen: it's possible that's causing the dependency problems depending on what it's installed | 00:12 |
| ikonia | ekristen: also clear your apt cache and re-run apt-get update to get a current cache | 00:12 |
| ikonia | ekristen: check if the dependency it's looking for is actually in the core repos | 00:13 |
| hitsujiTMO | bmccoy11: sweet. ok. now go back into. ok. now the installer should be able to see the partition table and ofc see windows then. best to downsize the windows partition in windows via administrative tools -> disk management before running the installer | 00:13 |

| bmccoy11 | Thanks! | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | DarkAceXtreme: On a home system the only thing I can think of that they might find from ifconfig that's relevant to your security is whether or not you're using NAT, and the solution to that is to just make sure that you are using NAT (which 99.9% of home routers do by default). | 00:17 |
| witheld9 | And while I've partially accomplished this, it only manages to load like 20% of the time | 00:17 |
| witheld9 | most of the time it doesn't even see the workgroups | 00:17 |
| hitsujiTMO | bmccoy11: sweeet. best to shrink the partition in windows. better to stick with the native tools when dealing with ntfs | 00:17 |
| witheld9 | And then when it does, most of the time I can't actually load the workgrop and see shares | 00:17 |
| bmccoy11 | Meh, I'm not that worried. | 00:18 |

| Jordan_U | bmccoy11: hitsujiTMO: I disagree, I think that ntfsresize is as reliable if not more so than Windows' own tools, and letting Ubuntu's installer do the resizing leaves less room for user error and is thus safer. | 00:19 |

| runvnc | Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz | 01:39 |
| runvnc | I think its 4 cores hyperthreaded | 01:40 |
| Bashing-om | Fily: OK, you probably know more about the VM than i, but, you do know it takes lots of ram to run a VM, has the laptop got enough ram ? | 01:41 |
| jarray52 | ethermonk: I believe there is a problem with system-config-printer, but I'm not sure. | 01:41 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: Those CPUs run hot. Maximum operating temperature is 100C. | 01:43 |
| bmccoy11 | Anyone? | 01:43 |
| runvnc | jarray but it runs 50C in windows | 01:43 |
| runvnc | and the computer is shutting down if I play videos or games at high res fullscreen | 01:43 |
| runvnc | because it gets up over 92-94 sometimes | 01:44 |
| brycesenz | hey guys. I'm having some problems with RVM. I got it to work in one shell, then nothing works in a new shell. I keep getting messages like "The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:" when I try to run ruby -v. It's like it can't find anything, even though .rvm/bin is in my $PATH variable. Has that happened to anyone else? | 01:44 |
| Fily | Bashing-om, I think 4 GB of ram but the problem is not the ram but the version of the release | 01:44 |
| runvnc | I have been fighting this for months with different grub settings and switching from open source to proprietary graphics drivers | 01:45 |
| runvnc | so now I am hoping that a laptop cooling pad will drop at least 10 degrees | 01:45 |
| runvnc | unless you guys have an idea | 01:45 |
| bmccoy11 | I want to change the icon of Ubuntu in Windows 8's MBR. | 01:46 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: I just checked. I have the exact same processor. | 01:47 |
| Yabbo | brycesenz: do you have multiple RVM's installed? | 01:47 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: You're right... that temperaure is too hot. | 01:47 |
| runvnc | what other specs do you have jarray | 01:48 |
| runvnc | what graphics | 01:48 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: dmesg | grep i7-2630QM gives me | 01:48 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: [ 0.082544] CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz stepping 07 | 01:49 |
| Bashing-om | Fily: so what the situation is, you want to install ubuntu onto the laptop and also run in ubuntu a Virtual Machine ? | 01:49 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: and sensors gives roughly 52 C for every core. | 01:49 |
| runvnc | my sensors-detect never finds any fans | 01:49 |
| runvnc | pwmconfig says there is nothing it can use | 01:50 |
| runvnc | fancontrol cant start because there is no config | 01:50 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: How do you know the temperature? | 01:50 |
| runvnc | only thing I get detected is something called coretemp | 01:50 |
| runvnc | I get temps | 01:50 |
| runvnc | but no fan info | 01:51 |
| runvnc | I am using something called psensor | 01:51 |
| runvnc | to view temperature | 01:51 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: I'm talking about coretemp-isa-0000 or something like that... that's what I see when running sensors. | 01:51 |
| runvnc | mine is just called 'coretemp' | 01:51 |
| runvnc | as far as I recall | 01:52 |
| Fily | Bashing-om, in the laptop I have Ubuntu 11.10 and it works very well, without problems. On this PC i Have Ubuntu 13.10 and I don't have any problems. I wanted to test new releases and give my contribute to ubuntu community | 01:52 |
| sensae | How do I use Evolution to remind me that a specific event has occured? | 01:52 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: Not sure. Does this happen after a fresh install? | 01:52 |
| runvnc | yes I just recently got a samsung 840pro ssd and put mint 15 on it with a usb flash thing | 01:53 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: Is this just Ubuntu or other distros too? | 01:53 |
| runvnc | and before after upgrading between old ubuntu to newer ubuntu | 01:53 |
| runvnc | same problem | 01:53 |
| runvnc | I have not tried any other distros besides mint | 01:53 |
| runvnc | but like 3 different kernels on different versions | 01:53 |
| Bashing-om | Fily: VM environments are not a good test bed for development versions, nothing beats bare metal. Why not just install a version on the laptop and test away ? | 01:54 |
| runvnc | if I have to use Red Hat or something it might be better to just kill myself | 01:54 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: It could be a configuration setting. I would try checking the BIOS settings and then install another distro. | 01:54 |
| runvnc | i have been in my shitty bios many times | 01:55 |
| runvnc | it seems to have the minimum number of options possible for a bios | 01:55 |
| runvnc | I will think about another distro | 01:55 |
| runvnc | I need to run docker so I think that means I need to try red hat or something | 01:55 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: One of those proprietary bioses... I see. | 01:55 |
| Fily | Bashing-om, my laptop doesn't support version more moderna than 11.10. I don't think it supports development versions | 01:56 |
| runvnc | If I have to decide whether I would rather use Red Hat or watch my IdeaPad die an honorable death melting itself with a Debian-based system, I might choose an honorable death. | 01:56 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: most bioses (except coreboot) are proprietary but sometimes laptop manufacturers further restrict the settings. | 01:56 |
| Bashing-om | Fily: Then I really do not see how it could support later version in a virtual environment either, am I being dense ? | 01:57 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: Do you have switcheable graphics? | 01:57 |
| kuhwallskee | how can I verify what color depth I'm currently running at in KDE? | 01:58 |
| runvnc | Not that I can tell jarray | 01:58 |
| runvnc | although I think I read something that says it is supposed to have an integrated intel | 01:58 |
| runvnc | but I can't see it | 01:58 |
| runvnc | or switch it | 01:58 |
| runvnc | although I just read something about adding an integrated intel to the x config manually or something | 01:58 |
| runvnc | which I dont even know if I physically have it. | 01:59 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: What model computer? | 01:59 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: we could bing it. | 01:59 |
| runvnc | Lenovo IdeaPad Y560p | 01:59 |
| runvnc | did you say bing | 01:59 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: Also try lspci -vvv | 01:59 |
| Dragoneye | Whats the delay issue when using sound? Its like it times out somehow so I cannot hear the beginning of the sound Im playing... If I play it right after I hear everything, but after a while its like a second is gone in silence... | 01:59 |
| millerti | Interesting. So I'm testing my new server out. It has two 12-core Ivy Bridge Xeons at 2.7Ghz. I'm using turbostat to look at actual frequency, where I've set mprime to load one hardware thread. That core is reporting 3.5GHz. | 02:00 |
| === dusty__ is now known as DustyBrewer | ||
| jotanpls | Hi guys, I can't find Slim.conf anywhere, I've even lurked in midnight commander and it's nowhere to be found. Minimal install here, desktop | 02:00 |
| millerti | It seems that core frequency is a function of package voltage, because all other cores (though idle) are reporting over 3GHz too, although slightly lower numbers. I think that the reporting isn't very accurate because the other hyperthread on the same core is reporting a different frequency. | 02:01 |
| Fily | Bashing-om, Yes it doesn't support later version in a v m environment. Instead I'm installing 14.04 on a vm in the PC not in the laptop | 02:01 |
| jarray52 | I can print a test page using CUPS, but I can't seem to print in applications. When I select print, my printer is not listed. The only option is print to file. Any suggestions on how to determine the problem? | 02:02 |
| runvnc | jarray http://blog.tremily.us/posts/Adding_a_network_printer_with_lpadmin/ | 02:03 |
| runvnc | maybe this is all just a big understanding and the temperature readouts are giving me F instead of C | 02:05 |
| runvnc | and confusing the laptop into thinking it needs to shutdown sometimes | 02:05 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: lpinfo -v gives me the output: 'lpinfo: No route to host'. | 02:05 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: Aren't they marked C or F? | 02:06 |
| runvnc | yeah it says C | 02:06 |
| runvnc | just wish they were mistaken | 02:06 |
| runvnc | heh | 02:06 |
| millerti | Wow. When fully loaded my servers processors total about 225W. | 02:06 |

| jarray52 | I can print test pages with CUPS, but I cannot print pages from applications such as a web browser, evince, openoffice, etc. Any suggestions on diagnosing the issue? | 02:19 |
| jarray52 | When I try to print, my printer is not listed as an option. | 02:19 |
| BetaSoul | Does any one have an updated VGA switcheroo script? | 02:21 |
| jotanpls | somsip: do you know how I change what options are being provided in terms of sesssion ? | 02:22 |
| Dragoneye | how do I read from the serialport? | 02:23 |

| runvnc | jarray I dont think your cups is set up right | 02:25 |

| runvnc | do you have a servername in /etc/cups/client.conf | 02:26 |
| runvnc | dang there is no client.conf on ubuntu lol | 02:26 |
| runvnc | sudo grep -R ServerName /etc/cups/* doesnt have a servername does it | 02:28 |
| Dragoneye | runvnc: touch client.conf | 02:28 |
| Dragoneye | now there is! :-p | 02:28 |
| runvnc | dragoneye I was just trying to help jarray | 02:29 |
| jotanpls | ok, only one question left. How do I allow my regular user to launch i3 ? | 02:29 |
| runvnc | he said the lpinfo or whatever printer thing | 02:29 |
| runvnc | said no route to host | 02:29 |
| Dragoneye | runvnc: sry :-D | 02:29 |
| runvnc | then when I googled that it keeps saying people have ServerName in that conf file | 02:29 |
| runvnc | and a wrong ServerName | 02:29 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: I can goto http://localhost:631. Then, Administration. Then Manage Printers. On that page, I see one printer. I can click it. Then, I can hit print page. That works. | 02:30 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: sudo grep -R ServerName /etc/cups/* gives a server name. | 02:30 |
| runvnc | what is the servername it says in there | 02:30 |
| runvnc | can you find that line ServerName and change it to say localhost | 02:31 |
| runvnc | is that ServerName specified found in /etc/hosts | 02:31 |
| jarray52 | runvnc: I changed that ServerName to localhost. The previous serverName was not accessible via the network. | 02:33 |
| runvnc | does the lpinfo or whatever it was work now | 02:33 |

| runvnc | does it list the new printer | 02:46 |
| sammy | anyone ever had any success with apt-cdrom? | 02:46 |
| runvnc | maybe you can just use the web admin now | 02:46 |
| runvnc | on the web admin under adding printers and classes it has server settings on the right | 02:47 |
| runvnc | I checked off allow printing from the internet | 02:47 |

| Ruler2112 | Hello. I am having a small problem and hope somebody can give me a pointer. I'm not a newbie to linux, but my knowledge is intermittent. | 04:28 |
| Ruler2112 | My laptop (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) apparently has the delete key (which is standard to get into the BIOS) set to restore the windoze 8 partition. Thankfully, it didn't erase anything and the ext4 partition still exists and appears to be intact. (I was able to pull files off of it using the system rescue CD livecd.) The problem now is that every time I boot from the hard drive, it tries to repair windoze, fails, and reboots, repeating a | 04:29 |
| Ruler2112 | I found directions on how to use something called boot-repair (I'm guessing to simply reinstall GRUB in the MBR), but it requires a GUI and booting from the install CD does not provide a GUI; startx produces the infamous 'no screens found'. Xorg -reconfigure fails because it's a read-only (DVD) file system. Any ideas or suggestions? | 04:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys If i am trying to run a shell script and it says permission denied , is the best way to chmod it using "sudo chmod u+x filename?" or what would be the proper permissions? | 04:29 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: very unlikely you need the sudo | 04:30 |
| juzemack | Psil0Cybin: if you are already root you can usermod or chmod whatever. | 04:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay soryr silly me, if I dont even run it as root | 04:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | would I chmod it to u+x? | 04:31 |
| Ben64 | if you like | 04:31 |
| juzemack | you can try | 04:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | well what is the best method for shell scripts.. | 04:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | or what is the best file permission | 04:31 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: just for the owner. so if you're not the owner the u+x will not give you execute permission | 04:31 |
| Ben64 | there is no "best", it need executable bit set to be executable. | 04:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | I am the owner, | 04:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay so your saying Ben64 any chmod that allows it to be executable, is fine, just my preferences for other permissions is my choice? | 04:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | type thing | 04:32 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: what file system is the script on? | 04:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | hitsujiTMO: in what sense i just put it in /home/scripts | 04:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | its just for me to learn how to use shell scripts | 04:32 |
| Ruler2112 | If you invoke a script using the interpreter it's meant to run under ( perl myscript ), it does not need to be executable. If you want to run it by itself ( ./myscript ) it needs the executable flag | 04:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | they are own codes :D | 04:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | my* | 04:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: ok so you're not getting the error after chmodding? | 04:33 |

| hitsujiTMO | Psil0Cybin: ok. well depending on what you want, chmod u+x only if and you alone are to execute, but in general its usuall faily safe to chmod +x it. the files/apps its calling and their permissions should prevent any misuse | 04:34 |

| nocturnal_ | Ruler2112: How is your sound? I may just switch to that for my laptop. | 04:46 |
| subuntu | ok, so i have ubuntu studio running live off this usb -- but the install launcher is not working --- what could be the case? | 04:46 |
| dupingping86 | wow! | 04:47 |
| Ruler2112 | nocturnal: the only problem I have with sound is that whenever I plug in my external speakers, the system sound mutes and I have to manually unmute it. Not a big deal, but annoying. There's an automute option in alsa, but that just controls whether the internal speakers mute when you plug in speakers, not whether the system sound mutes when this happens. | 04:48 |
| nocturnal_ | Ruler2112: Id rather have some sound than no sound. my laptop isnt strong enough to run unity so ive been running fluxbox but i cant watch netflix with no sound | 04:49 |
| eoss | is there a way to edit cronjobs..adding and removing specific cronjobs programmaticly ? | 04:49 |
| eoss | have a program look at all the current cronjobs...find one based off a specific ID and then remove it | 04:50 |
| Ruler2112 | nocturnal: Sure you can - just make up the plot yourself as you watch - makes it more interesting anyways... ;-) | 04:50 |
| somsip | eoss: you could pipe crontab -l through sed to do this | 04:51 |
| dupingping86 | I made ubuntu12.04 usb installation for macbook. I goodbye mac and after restarting,entering ubuntu by usb stick. As a result, black screen. I don't know what's going on? Please help!!! | 04:51 |
| subuntu | anybody available to help with an installation quirk? | 04:51 |

| nocturnal_ | Ruler2112: it felt that way last night when i was trying to solve this. | 04:52 |
| dupingping86 | You? | 04:52 |
| nocturnal_ | Ruler2112: I GOT IT! Thanks! | 04:52 |
| dupingping86 | How did you do? | 04:52 |
| Ruler2112 | nocturnal: as long as I leave the speakers plugged in, there's no problem. Unfortunately, the genius' who designed the laptop made the power plug and audio plug come out of opposite sides, so I can't put it on a shelf without unplugging one or the other. | 04:53 |
| eoss | somsip: thanks, i just am confused on how to do that, i just watched some sed tutorials but it didnt make it that clear, is there a resource I can go to study on how to do this specifically with sed? | 04:53 |
| Ruler2112 | nocturnal: Great! What was the problem? | 04:53 |
| subuntu | dupingping86: i'm not an expert -- had assistance from someone in the last couple days fixing a similar problem -- i think its a grub issue ... hopefully someone will be along to assist you shortly | 04:53 |
| === Guest44808 is now known as Logan_ | ||
| nocturnal_ | Ruler2112: I used pavucontrol and had to change the configuration profile to Analog Stereo Output instead of Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output | 04:54 |
| dupingping86 | subuntu, Where and how can I find that method? | 04:55 |
| Ruler2112 | nocturnal: wow - I was right about it being OSS or pulse... that doesn't happen very often! ;) | 04:55 |
| somsip | eoss: this gives you an idea on how I use it, but you'd need to adapt it http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835942/ | 04:56 |
| subuntu | dupingping86: i'm afraid i'm not the one to help you, i don't understand the issues well enough -- just want you to know that the odds are that your hardware is not broken, and you will resolve the issue with some assistance from someone more knowledgeable than i | 04:57 |
| dupingping86 | Anyhow thanks. | 04:57 |

| sudormrf|other | hey guys. anyone around to help me out with a path issue with a cron job? | 05:00 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: paste the crontab using paste.ubuntu.com | 05:01 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: ok. | 05:01 |
| sudormrf|other | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835956/ | 05:02 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: and what's the issue? | 05:03 |
| m000gle | This may seem like a silly question, but is there any way to abort a wget download? ... I always assumed Ctrl-C canceled the download, but just noticed my network usage continued at above 1mb/s download until I ran the command "killall wget" | 05:03 |
| sudormrf|other | I think the issue is related to a variable that needs to be added to PATH, but I am not certain. I have tried running the job that is causing problems using the path to the program to run and that doesn't work. tried using cd and changed to the directory where the program lives prior to the command running, nothing seems to be working. | 05:04 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: what is the job that is causing the problem? | 05:04 |
| Ben64 | m000gle: ctrl+c does stop it | 05:05 |
| m000gle | Ben64: Let me test it once more ... brb | 05:05 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: I am trying to run greyhole checksums on a schedule, but it doesn't run. it fails with an error about tempparm or something like that | 05:05 |
| sudormrf|other | can't remember the error off the top of my head | 05:05 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: so where is the command you are running in that crontab you pasted? | 05:06 |
| m000gle | Ben64: Strange... It must have been a glicth that once, as it just worked as expected =/ | 05:07 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: oh crap lol. pasted the wrong crontab. hang on. | 05:07 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: actually, I am not sure why the entires are not showing in the crontab. I am using gnome-schedule to set them (this is my first time using crontab). | 05:08 |
| eoss | somsip: thanks what does this part do? | crontab - | 05:09 |
| somsip | eoss: pipes the output of the previous commands as a 'file' expected by crontab IIRC | 05:10 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: IF Windows/UEFI is not a factor, I can direct you to (re-)install grub, do you know where your /boot is located ? | 05:10 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835979/ | 05:10 |
| sudormrf|other | there you go | 05:10 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: command in question is line 6 | 05:10 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing: that would be perfect! Yes, I know where everything from the linux install is located | 05:11 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing: and at this point, I'd be happy if I never saw a windoze screen again! | 05:11 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: so confirm '/' is 1st hard drive's 1st partition ? | 05:11 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-on: / is actually on /dev/sda4 | 05:12 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: OK, I can cope, and there is no separate /boot partition ? | 05:12 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-om: I foolishly left the restore partitions intact when installing ubuntu in case I wanted to sell the laptop and/or go back. | 05:12 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: examples on github suggest using the full path to greyhole https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/blob/master/greyhole.cron.weekly | 05:13 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-om: That is correct - /boot is on /dev/sda4 | 05:13 |
| eoss | somsip: thanks for this, i have one more question if you dont mind: is there a way to give names to particular cronjobs? I need to be able to remove specific cronjobs from the list | 05:13 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: I tried /usr/bin/greyhole --fsck --checksums but that failed too. | 05:13 |
| somsip | eoss: you could add a comment to the job I suppose, eg: 0 7 * * * #job1; /usr/local/bin/backup.sh | 05:14 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: in what way is it failing? | 05:15 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: let me paste the error | 05:15 |
| eoss | thanks somsip | 05:15 |
| smeg | Just installed Ubuntu Studio | 05:16 |
| darkangel | just curious as a ubuntu Tester does 1 have to install all the packages that is in the "new Respository" in the Synaptic Package Manager? | 05:17 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Boot the liveDVD terminal codes: sudo mkdir /mnt/work , sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/work , sudo grub-install /dev/sda , sudo umount /mnt/work , reboot for effect. | 05:17 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-om: I don't need to chroot to the mounted file system? | 05:18 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6835994/ keep in mind that the entry that it says doesn't exist, does. and is spelled correctly. and it is referenced in the greyhole.conf file. | 05:18 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-on: (I've done it with lilo before, but never grub.) | 05:18 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: nope .. not to install grub. | 05:18 |
| leichtgewicht | Hello ubuntu team. | 05:18 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: so the greyhole.conf isn't setup right... | 05:18 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: how so? | 05:19 |
| leichtgewicht | I am having problems with getting my crontab to run on restart. | 05:19 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: well, that's the error. No idea. I've never heard of greyhole | 05:19 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: paste your crontab to past.ubuntu.com | 05:19 |
| somsip | *paste.ubuntu.com | 05:19 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-om: Got an error from grub-probe - cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) | 05:19 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: anything to worry about? | 05:19 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: awesome typo: the world misses this domain :D | 05:20 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: I am not sure that is so. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6836004/ | 05:21 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: I don't know anything about greyhole. I can help with crontab issues, but I can't make your confs right | 05:21 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: thinking,, I don't see where/dev should have come into play, all we are doing is mounting the root to access the MBR .. There is another alternative we can try , still not chrooting though. | 05:21 |
| leichtgewicht | here is my crontap i am using http://paste.ubuntu.com/6836005/ | 05:21 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: no worries :). I think this may be something I have to work with the greyhole dev on. :). | 05:22 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: thanks though! :D | 05:22 |
| leichtgewicht | when i start with sudo shutdown -r now then it seems like the script doesn't run | 05:23 |

| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: I found a gui tool that purports to do it automagically at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair but I can't get into a GUI when booted from the DVD. (Actually, the installer boots into a GUI, but startx when started from the 'try ubuntu' menu option chokes.) | 05:24 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: no | 05:26 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: does it run correctly when started manually? | 05:26 |
| leichtgewicht | Oh: I should maybe mention: I use crontab -e -u <myuser> | 05:26 |
| leichtgewicht | yes: it works when i start it manually. | 05:27 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: oh. Didn't you have this problem about a week ago? I recognise it now I see it's a nodejs thing... | 05:28 |
| leichtgewicht | more like three weeks ago :) | 05:28 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: hold on... think I might've just figured out why it's not working. The drive came with a GPT partition table and so I have to use parted to view it - /dev/sda2 (fat32) is set as bootable. I bet that the accidental triggering of the windoze restore procedure set this partition active | 05:28 |
| leichtgewicht | Yes: I thought it worked but it seems it didn't. | 05:28 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: ok. I didn't recognise your name but vaguely remember the issue. | 05:28 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: And from memory I said before that maybe binami needs access to the node executable, and that is not added to the path as I see it | 05:29 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: yes | 05:30 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: umount /mnt/work , sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt ,sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda , sudo umount /mnt .. and waiting about GPT .. this is a different horse now ! | 05:30 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: so why is that not in path? | 05:30 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: Even more puzzling: Why is no log file being generated? | 05:31 |
| leichtgewicht | Even a error message should go into the log file, shouldn't it? | 05:31 |
| somsip | leichtgewicht: not if there is no output | 05:32 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Do we now realy need to look now at the partitioning and formats ? Like I said, if Windows is involved ,, I run away ! | 05:32 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: back. so I did a test using the following command as a cron job "testparm -s '/etc/samba/smb.conf' 2> /dev/null > /tmp/testparm.out" just to see what I would get. the output I received was "ERROR: You must specify both a machine name and an IP address" | 05:32 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: mind you, this command executes fine if I initiate it myself from the command line. it only errors out when doing it with cron. | 05:33 |
| leichtgewicht | is there a way to output all log statements of crontab. | 05:33 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-om: If I lose the ability to boot windoze, I really don't care. I was stupid for leaving the partition there when I installed to begin with. Just something I saw while waiting. Trying installing grub specifying the boot partition now... | 05:33 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: IF that disk is GPT partitioned a SEPARATE partition IS required .. do we need to look !!!!!! | 05:37 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: /dev/sda2 is set to fat32 and is flagged as bootable. The drive is indeed GPT. | 05:38 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Then they above will not work .. as that installs grub to the MBR not correct for GPT . Honestly I have no experience in GPT/grub. Others will have to assist. less ya want to wait for me in my AM .. it is past my thinking time. | 05:40 |
| Ruler2112 | Bashing-om: Got an error about crossblocks when trying to install specifying the last command. Mounted /dev/sda2 and it has 2 directories - EFI and Temp. EFI has Boot, Microsoft,.... | 05:40 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: Thanks for your help. | 05:41 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: I miss the days when a partition table was a partition table... | 05:41 |
| sudormrf|other | is this a host file issue? | 05:41 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Not any help presently, there is I know a means to install grub to the boot partiton, and I can research and find it. but I have never had the ocassion to do so. | 05:42 |
| sudormrf|other | anyone? :D | 05:43 |
| leichtgewicht | somsip: for the sake of testing I added @reboot echo 'hi' >> /var/log/project_startup.log and it gave no output | 05:43 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: I can hunt for it - it's my problem after all. No need for you to spend your time on it; I appreciate your trying. | 05:43 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Let me tell you I am old school, and I am having my difficulties adjusting to all the changes progress is making ! | 05:43 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: I hear ya there - feel the same way myself at times | 05:44 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: GPT and UEFI will be a good and great thing .. it is here to stay, may as well learn it now as later, huh ?? | 05:45 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: if you are still around, I am wondering if this is a host file issue? seeing that error about specifying a hostname and ip address? | 05:45 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: or just say screw it and become either a professional fisherman or woodworker. ;) ;) | 05:45 |
| somsip | sudormrf|other: sorry - I really have to get on with some work | 05:46 |
| sudormrf|other | somsip: no worries | 05:46 |

| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: If I can't figure this out tonight, I'm going to download/install lubuntu tomorrow.

| Ruler2112 | Have a good evening everybody | 06:06 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Well, in the long term GPT has the advantage, But for a simple system I find no fault with remaining with the msdos partitioning and putting grub to the Master Boot Record. This would require that you (re-)partition that drive. | 06:17 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: in addition, repartitioning would preclude ever installing Windows again .. ! | 06:18 |

| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: I just feel like I'd know what I'm doing/talking about with a regular partition table. I have discovered something interesting. Playing around in the recovery partition options, it gave me the ability to boot from a device, one of which was labeled ubuntu. I'm now in my ubuntu install, but every single time I reboot, I have to go through a 3-reboot process to get into it. I *think* all I need to do is to figure out h | 06:20 |
| rww | darkangel: one comes with Unity, one comes with GNOME | 06:20 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: with the little I've used windoze 8, that would be a good thing. | 06:20 |
| Ruler2112 | If it weren't for classic shell, a fishing buddy of mine said he would've thrown his new laptop into saginaw bay | 06:21 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: Like I say, Grub can be installed to the EFI partition, and what is termed a "shim" to boot Windows. I am not familiar with the procedure. I just know it can be done ! | 06:22 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: lol - pretty much anything can be done. It's just a matter of figuring out how. | 06:24 |
| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: I see it all the time, of people being too hasty to forsake Windows. There are some things in Windows that there is no alternatives. But the choice is yours. We can make both bootable. Windows just is not in my field of interest. | 06:24 |

| nZac | I am really struggling to get the firewall setup for access to a MySQL machine. Anyone have any advice. I asked over in #mysql to no avail. | 06:27 |
| nZac | The problem is, that I bind the MySQL server to 0.0.0.0 and then try to reset the firewall (ufw) to allow connections on 3306 however telnet from a remote machine fails. | 06:28 |
| somsip | nZac: how about a connection using mysql client? | 06:29 |
| nZac | somsip: no lunch | 06:29 |
| somsip | nZac: no, i had some earlier. So what about the error message with mysql? | 06:29 |
| nZac | somsip: I get a connection refused (or incorect password) | 06:30 |
| nZac | It times out. | 06:30 |
| somsip | nZac: you have restart mysql service? | 06:32 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: FYI, the boot-repair software (which I was able to use after figuring out how to get into ubuntu) fixed the problem! I now have a grub menu pop up with the various partitions (windoze, linux, recovery, etc) as options | 06:32 |
| nZac | somsip: I can try that again... | 06:32 |
| somsip | nZac: my other suggestion would be to turn off ufw and test so you can see if the binding is correct, or if it's a ufw issue | 06:34 |
| nZac | somsip: Let me give that a shot | 06:34 |
| somsip | nZac: and make sure your user access permissions are correct | 06:34 |

| somsip | nZac: eg root@localhost might be allowed but root@192.168.1.2 might not | 06:37 |

| Bashing-om | Ruler2112: OH mercy, 40 years++ of messing with computers, and ubuntu is my operating system of choice, I know my way around ubuntu, and have a lot more to learn. | 06:42 |

Then I somehow got into a DOS shell and haven't stopped learning since... | 06:44 |
| Ruler2112 | bashing-om: While I like ubuntu, I don't know if I prefer it or freebsd. (If BSD would make the ports tree stable and stop breaking stuff every other day, it'd be less difficult to choose.) | 06:46 |

| ndroftheline | hi all, i'm trying to install a newer version of rkward, a ui for r | 07:03 |
| ndroftheline | i'm running 12.04 - can i force apt-get to install from a less-stable branch to get a newer version of rkward? | 07:04 |
| Gandi | hi, my grub2 does not display boot choices anymore, how can i change that? | 07:06 |
| glitsj16 | ndroftheline: you might have to look for a PPA that offers the rkward version you need for 12.04 | 07:06 |

| ndroftheline | glitsj16: there's no way to install a package from an unstable branch? | 07:12 |
| glitsj16 | ndroftheline: ubuntu doesn't have unstable branch technically, unlike debian | 07:14 |

| subhojit777 | I am trying to scp a file between two remote servers. It says `ssh: connect to host xxx.xx.xxx.xx port 22: Connection timed out`. I cannot also do `ping google.com`. Any idea? | 08:29 |
| Kartagis | check your /etc/resolv.conf | 08:30 |
| subhojit777 | what I need to check there? | 08:30 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: why would resolv.conf help an IP address | 08:30 |
| subhojit777 | I am beginner in networking configurations | 08:31 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: because of `ping google.com` | 08:31 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: he can't connect to an IP address.... | 08:31 |
| ikonia | cannot connect to host to host xxx.xx.xxx.xx | 08:31 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: he also said he can't ping google.com | 08:32 |
| subhojit777 | shall I diable ufw (firewall)? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: and as resolv.conf doesn't actually list the dns servers any more | 08:32 |
| Kartagis | couldn't* | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: again, why would resolv.conf have an impact on that | 08:32 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: it does on mine | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: then you're not using ubuntu | 08:32 |
| Kartagis | I am, | 08:33 |
| ericP | anybody whine here about nvidia-settings passing a bad value to serial 688 error_code 2 request_code 139 minor_code 25? | 08:33 |

| ericP | and if so, did they figoure out a workaround? | 08:33 |
| JoshuaP | why is there wiki.ubottu.com with no data? | 08:37 |

| BlueMint | Hi there, i am trying to install razercfg (razer mouse driver) but am getting this error when "make install" | 08:48 |
| BlueMint | make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 08:48 |
| AlbinoGeek | So uhh, why does Ubuntu refuse to support standards, such as VirtIO SCSI , etc? https://db.tt/q13qFcnh Note the complete lack of disks found. | 08:48 |
| ikonia | have you read the install instructions ? | 08:48 |
| BlueMint | ikonia, following them character by character, yes | 08:48 |
| AlbinoGeek | GG Ubuntu : https://db.tt/s6kPHYnh 8.4 MB disk | 08:50 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: don't need a comentary | 08:50 |
| ikonia | BlueMint: let me take a look | 08:50 |
| BlueMint | ikonia, nevermind. Give me 5 more minutes | 08:50 |
| ikonia | BlueMint: ok, so you've downloaded the source, what's the first thing you did | 08:50 |
| BlueMint | I think i came here too prematurely | 08:50 |
| BlueMint | ikonia, cmake | 08:50 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Well, I'd love some advise on how to make Ubuntu not suck at being in a VM. | 08:50 |
| BlueMint | then make | 08:50 |
| ikonia | BlueMint: ok, did that complete, did you get any warnings/errors | 08:51 |
| AlbinoGeek | Since it obviously doesn't support VirtIO SCSI, or even VirtIO IDE. | 08:51 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: it's running in a vm here just fine | 08:51 |
| BlueMint | ikonia, nope. Got the CMake files in the directory after that | 08:51 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Alright, and what disk controller are you using? | 08:51 |
| BlueMint | ikonia, then make gives no output | 08:51 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: one moment and I'll tell you | 08:51 |
| BlueMint | then I sudo make install | 08:51 |
| ikonia | BlueMint: ok, so if make gave no output it's unlikley it run | 08:52 |
| ikonia | BlueMint: in which case that would explain why there is no target for make install | 08:52 |
| AlbinoGeek | Ubuntu refuses to find any disks when the controller is either the VirtIO_SCSI or VirtIO, if I make it plain IDE passthru, the performance is absolutely trash; but it detects the disk. | 08:52 |
| expert | Ubuntu/linux newbie here. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS a few days ago. For some reason, my keyboard's caps lock is working the other way around. When switched ON, it types in lower case and vice versa | 08:52 |
| AlbinoGeek | And by absolutely trash, I mean the host gets 400Mb/sec on conv=fdatasync , VM gets 20Mb/sec . | 08:52 |
| BlueMint | ikonia, I'll keep trying I guess | 08:53 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: one moment and I'll get you my info | 08:53 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Right ,thanks. | 08:53 |
| AlbinoGeek | Now, why my SERVER installer requires a keyboard layout detector, network autoconfigure, __A GUI__ and a full slew of games, I'll never know. | 08:55 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: 00:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device | 08:55 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: that's the disk controller my ubuntu guest is using | 08:56 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: How did you get VirtIO in yours, or are you running something newer than 12.04 ? | 08:56 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: ahhh sorry yes, 13.10 box. | 08:56 |
| AlbinoGeek | Heh. | 08:56 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: are you using 12.04.4 or earlier ? | 08:56 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: 12.04.3 ; the latest version on the site. | 08:56 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: hang on a moment then please. | 08:56 |
| AlbinoGeek | The ONLY one shown when you click on "Server" | 08:57 |
| AlbinoGeek | Heh. | 08:57 |
| cfhowlett | AlbinoGeek, latest is 12.04.4 - perhaps upgrading might fix | 08:57 |
| AlbinoGeek | cfhowlett: Why is 12.04.3 the one on the main site then :/. | 08:57 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett: site is still offering 12.04.3 as the download </slow hand clap> | 08:57 |
| AlbinoGeek | Literally http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 08:57 |
| ikonia | so it's understanable why | 08:57 |
| hitsujiTMO | cfhowlett: 12.04.4 iso isn't out till 6th afaik | 08:58 |
| cfhowlett | AlbinoGeek, whaaaaaaaaaat? I'm on 12.04.4 ... - desktop? | 08:58 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett: many people have reported this, it appears to be.....a mess | 08:58 |
| ikonia | in terms of "I'm on 12.04.4, why ? it's not out yet" | 08:58 |
| === mulder_ is now known as Guest2839 | ||
| hitsujiTMO | cfhowlett: 12.04.3 will pull the saucy stack from the repos | 08:58 |
| AlbinoGeek | Also, while I'm here; | 08:59 |
| hitsujiTMO | cfhowlett: so its 12.04.4 after install | 08:59 |
| AlbinoGeek | Why does "Ubuntu Server Minimal" load out 15GB of crap ? | 08:59 |
| cfhowlett | hitsujiTMO, I can see why so many get so confused ... | 08:59 |
| AlbinoGeek | And yet my CentOS-65-x86_64.tgz is only 209 MB ...? | 08:59 |
| Ben64 | Feb 6th is 12.04.4 date | 08:59 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: look - grow up, if you want to talk about a problem, talk about it, but if you want to be stupid about it with vague complaints "why does it load crap" then don't bother | 08:59 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: What, I'm literally asking what packages Ubuntu feels are so important, it must include. | 08:59 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: ok, so you're saying an ubuntu server minimal install installs a 15GB install ? | 09:00 |
| AlbinoGeek | It's not really that vage, I asked what makes the "Minimal" install 15 GB. | 09:00 |
| Ben64 | and you compared it to a tgz? i'm not following at all | 09:00 |
| ikonia | Ben64: it appears to just be a stupid rant | 09:00 |
| AlbinoGeek | Ben64: Both were created as qcow2 format KVM templates. | 09:01 |
| ikonia | rather than an actual problem / discussion | 09:01 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: errr that could include allocated but unused space | 09:01 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: do a proper minimal install from the cd and test it | 09:01 |
| ikonia | as I'm about to do now | 09:01 |
| AlbinoGeek | Might help if I mention the only reason I'm using Ubuntu is at the moment is because customers want to be able to deploy Ubuntu images, and I need to make the template for it. | 09:01 |
| duane_ | i nedd to write music, which is the best app | 09:01 |
| cfhowlett | !best|duane_, | 09:02 |
| ubottu | duane_,: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | duane_, see #opensourcemusicians | 09:02 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: That's what I'm doing at the moment; using the IDE disk controller so the installer at least picks up the disks, can switch it out once I figure out what I have to install / compile to make virtio function in 12.04 | 09:02 |
| cillo551 | kubuntu dont see my mobile broadband usb stick at first , it only shows up when I take it off from usb port and put it back , how can fix it that shows it from the first time , in #kubuntu everyone seems to be busy when i asked this, can you help me with this , Windows 8 sees my mobile broadband usb stick for the first time in this same computer | 09:02 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Odd, I didn't get a package selection; it went straight from partitioning -> installing. | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | AlbinoGeek, that is NOT normal behavior and makes me highly suspect of your source ISO ... | 09:04 |
| === JoshuaP is now known as JoshuaP-afk | ||

| hitsujiTMO | the darknet :P | 09:08 |
| cfhowlett | AlbinoGeek, got cats/kids/fat fingers near the keyboard? cuz there's a keypress or something that should have happened before installing | 09:08 |
| kalk | i need a root exploit to test a custom patch | 09:09 |
| cfhowlett | AlbinoGeek, at least there is on 12.04 | 09:09 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: install almost done, took a few minutes to download 12.04 and install | 09:09 |
| AlbinoGeek | cfhowlett: I finally got package selection 400MB into the "base system". Removing useless packages now through the... odd blue screen package manager. | 09:09 |

| hitsujiTMO | Bray90820: contact your bank | 09:12 |

| AlbinoGeek | (disk wise) | 09:16 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: as in transfering files ? | 09:17 |
| ikonia | or just generic | 09:17 |
| cfhowlett | Agamemnon, dude. I've done it. it's a nice science experiment but totally not worth the trouble IMHO. see the hackintosh forums because it's beyond what we can do here. | 09:17 |
| Agamemnon | what I did wrong? | 09:17 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync / ioping -c 10 | 09:17 |

| cfhowlett | Agamemnon, so sorry. no. go to hackintosh for support. | 09:18 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: just testing a transfer one moment | 09:18 |

| Agamemnon | why after the linux ubuntu installation on the third partition I can't get in windows? | 09:18 |
| Agamemnon | what I did wrong? | 09:19 |
| Agamemnon | the format? | 09:19 |
| Agamemnon | ext4? | 09:19 |
| Agamemnon | the swap? | 09:19 |
| Agamemnon | what? | 09:19 |
| FloodBot1 | Agamemnon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:19 |
| cfhowlett | Agamemnon, no hackintosh support on this channel. go back to the source of your tutorial. | 09:19 |
| Agamemnon | I am not so expert on linux ubuntu | 09:19 |
| Agamemnon | cfhowlett where I can go to ask about it? | 09:20 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: just transfered the fedora-iso (biggest file I could find on my machine) from host to guest | 09:20 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso 100% 4239MB 59.7MB/s 01:11 | 09:20 |
| cfhowlett | Agamemnon, google | 09:20 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: so 4GB over the virtual network to the virtual disk i n70 seconds | 09:20 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: That's not too bad, but what's the degredation host -> guest ? | 09:20 |
| AlbinoGeek | As you saw with mine, it was 20x worse. | 09:20 |
| Agamemnon | what google? Google has millions or trillions answers | 09:20 |
| Ben64 | ikonia, AlbinoGeek: for what its worth, my 12.04 minimal server install just finished, 915MB | 09:20 |

| AlbinoGeek | Agamemnon: You should only need the first page, unless you don't know the question to ask it. | 09:21 |
| AlbinoGeek | Agamemnon: If you don't know the question to ask it, then you should start there. | 09:21 |
| junka | install windows and stay there | 09:21 |
| Agamemnon | what command I have to type here to go to another chat room related with llinux? | 09:21 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: can you give me a test that you are doing that performs poor, that I can run on my guest to compare | 09:21 |
| AlbinoGeek | Agamemnon: You might get some audience in ##linux , if someone's bored. | 09:21 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: dd if=/dev/zero of=iotest bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync performs 400+ MB/s on the host, ~30MB/s on the guest. | 09:22 |
| Ben64 | Agamemnon: what you're experiencing is probably a hackintosh problem, not a linux problem | 09:22 |
| AlbinoGeek | That's a 1G artificial I/o test. | 09:22 |

| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you're just getting random here - you complained that your default install was 15 GB - I've just proved it's not, you complained you couldn't get Virto SCSI support, I just proved you could, you complained your IO was poor, I just proved mines good, now randomly you get a boot problem | 09:23 |
| AlbinoGeek | Humm, what's the boot step immediately following where I'm stuck; that it's frozen on, I wonder.. | 09:23 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: do you not think you may be the common factor here | 09:24 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Yes, I know; I am the one that gets random issues. | 09:24 |
| AlbinoGeek | It's why I'm the QA over here :/. | 09:24 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you don't sound like a good QA as your setup is wrong | 09:24 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: if your setup was right you'd get the same consistant results as everything else, the only different factor appears to be the guy at the keyboard | 09:24 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you complain that things are "wrong" then each time I prove they are good you move to another complaint tha tyou've not mentioned before | 09:25 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Not entirely sure, it's an Ubuntu 12.04.3 with almost all default options, the host machine is 4x 1TB / LSI MegaRAID 9271-4i w/ CacheVault ; Dual E5-2620 v2 ; guest has 24 cores and 8G of RAM assigned. I'm not entirely sure why I'm having any of these issues. | 09:25 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I'd suggest a big part of this will be user error / lack of understanding | 09:25 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Well, the 15 GB issue isn't an issue anymore. Obviously there was something messy with the template I'd had, as the fresh install here is much smaller, if I could get it to boot. | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: eg: you claimed the default install is 15GB - it's not, we've just proven it, the only way it's not is if you hve done something wrong | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you complained you can't get virto support - I just proved it | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you then complained that it was IDE - even after I showed you it was on a scsi controller | 09:26 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: it appears your attention to detail isn't super | 09:26 |
| ikonia | so I'd expect that there will be mistakes in your setup | 09:26 |
| ikonia | or your expectations are not really valid | 09:26 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: No, it never has been; I have pretty low vision. My thing though, is that your disk should have shown up as sda* if it were the VirtIO SCSI host disk controller, which I've shown Ubuntu 12.04 can't find the disk with (in the installer at least.) | 09:27 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: no it shouldn't | 09:27 |
| AlbinoGeek | Mine does in every other (non deb/ubu) distro :/. | 09:27 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: the virto controller displays it as vda | 09:27 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: https://db.tt/OF1Opfu7 ; sadly I can't copy-paste out of VNC | 09:28 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: That's on 13.10 , which has VirtIO SCSI host controller support. | 09:29 |
| === barry__ is now known as barry | ||
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: lets pull up the docs rather than just guessing/assuming, one moment | 09:29 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Sure. I'm using specifically the KVM option : -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -drive file=/var/lib/one//datastores/0/127/disk.0,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none | 09:31 |

| ActionParsnip | AlbinoGeek: if you use a lighter desktop like LXDE instead of Gnome it will run pretty well if you are VMing. | 09:31 |
| AlbinoGeek | In 12.04 , I'm forced to use the older -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -drive file=/var/lib/one//datastores/0/133/disk.0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,cache=none | 09:32 |

| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: the full exact command | 09:32 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Sure, it's a bit long though ; let me drop it in a pastebin. Do you have a prefered ? | 09:32 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: any pastebin you want | 09:32 |

| fidel_ | johannes_: is the disk displayed in nautilus? | 09:36 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Not sure, honestly; as all my other distros display sda* https://db.tt/2b2zQiIX | 09:37 |

| ActionParsnip | expert: if so, we can make it run at boot and make the caps lock behave | 09:38 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I think I may see the issue | 09:38 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0 | 09:38 |

| OerHeks | johannes_, install restricted extras, and install libdvdread4 and perform the install-css script >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 09:38 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you're actually not specifying the virtio device there, you're actually saying "scsi" | 09:38 |
| expert | ActionParsnip, I have to run a bash script to correct caps lock behavior on a linux system? | 09:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I can see earlier you load the virtio scsi - which is fine, but then you're telling the device to use the scsi module, not the virtio one | 09:39 |
| johannes_ | ok I am goining to try this | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | expert: its one fix... | 09:39 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: So, the issue is that Ubuntu doesn't support the "SCSI" controller as specified, or as KVM displays it? (at least, not in 12.04.3) ; it's rather confusing that everywhere I look at it, it's virtio. | 09:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: which sort of lines up with what I'm seeing on my hosts and that official document | 09:39 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I think the confusion is the device and the module thats using it | 09:40 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: I tell it to use the SCSI controller, as the "virtio" alone does not support hotplugging. I can't just "add onto" that disk, resize it live, etc. | 09:40 |
| expert | ActionParsnip, why do we even need a fix? why is it a problem? one keyboard! | 09:40 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: are you sure virtio doesn't support hot plugging I just added a virio device to my running machine and it appeared | 09:40 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: I really believe this line is key | 09:41 |
| ikonia | Disk will show up as /dev/vd[a-z][1-9], if you migrate you need to change "root=" in Lilo/GRUB config | 09:41 |
| ikonia | the official doc shows it as vda, and that ties in with what I'm seeing from my installs and my understanding of your command line | 09:41 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Yeah see; if I add a new "vd" target device (ex: vdb) , it does not show in my /dev/ in any distro tested (Ubuntu 12.04.3 , CentOS 65; at the moment.) Even with a rescan. | 09:41 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: If I restart the guest, it picks it up; but not before (for me at least.) | 09:42 |
| AlbinoGeek | Yet where with the SCSI, instantly the VNC is flooded with dmesg lines about it being attached, configured, etc. | 09:42 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: let me just confirm that and make sure I've not tricked myself | 09:42 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: but I think you're adding the virtio scsi contoller, (great) but then adding a sci disk, rather than the virtio disk | 09:42 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: I add a VirtIO SCSI controller, then explicitly add SCSI disks to the controller; so that they're picked up immediately in the guest. | 09:43 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: If I specify: DEV_PREFIX=vd TARGET=vda on my hotattach request, the disk is not picked up in the guest until I reboot it. | 09:44 |
| AlbinoGeek | If I instead specify: DEV_PREFIX=sd TARGET=sdb it is picked up immediately. | 09:44 |

| ubottu | Bangla te Ubuntu bishoyok alochonar jonno #ubuntu-bd te ashun. Dhonnobad! | 09:44 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: yeah, I see the limitations of attaching to a running machine | 09:45 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: ok, so I think we see the problem here, the problem is your lack of understanding/expectations | 09:45 |
| AlbinoGeek | :P | 09:45 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Yeah :( Which in a cloud platform, basically makes it useless as a distro to offer. | 09:45 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: you're complaining that virtio disks are not sd$ - but you're adding scsi disks, not virtio disks | 09:45 |
| AlbinoGeek | 13.10 supports it, so that's fine. | 09:45 |
| ikonia | which is not an unreasonable mistake to make | 09:46 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: ok, so perhaps in future, less ranting and bashing the distro, more so when it turns out it's your lack of understanding/research, next time, just explain the problem and people will work it through with you | 09:46 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: Well, I'm a cloud services provider. 12.04 not support hotplugging disks means I literally cannot use it. It's nice that 13.10 does; so at least I can say it's a versioning issue and not just discount Ubuntu entirely; but yeah. | 09:47 |
| jaaa | hello anyone know how in ubuntu 13.10 i can install rar ? | 09:47 |
| AlbinoGeek | ikonia: And yeah, I always resort to ranting by default when it comes to Ubuntu, as I've had far too much bad experience in the past with stupid things (like Unity, but I'm sure you guys hear enough about that already.) | 09:47 |
| ikonia | AlbinoGeek: cloud servicing provider.....perhaps a little more research.... | 09:48 |

| hitsujiTMO | Asusf3s: what language do you speak? | 11:25 |
| rigo88 | it worked perfect with another network before. just to prevent the pre-troubleshooting. no sw/hw change was made since then. | 11:25 |
| hitsujiTMO | !it | Asusf3s maybe it might be easier to describe in italian | 11:26 |

| rigo88 | so no hw/sw change at all. only moved from an appartment to another, and already modified the network/interfaces file with the new network data. ifconfig wlan0 down -> up, service networking restart, nor reboot helped. checking dmesg right now. | 11:28 |
| daftykins | rigo88: so you've had no system updates in the meantime? | 11:30 |
| daftykins | rigo88: have a read of this arch thread for fun: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146052 | 11:30 |

| daftykins | rigo88: i saw another comment elsewhere suggesting to kill all instances of wpa_supplicant then tell NM to reconnect | 11:35 |
| ikonia | OnkelTem: there should be documentation on the project pages for install instructions | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | OnkelTem, ask on xda-developers.com | 11:35 |
| OnkelTem | cfhowlett: you suggest asking on forums? | 11:35 |
| rigo88 | if i turn the device off with 100% ok wlan, take the pc 300 meter to another appartment, change the relevant datas in the interfaces file reboot and it works not. annoying. | 11:35 |
| ikonia | seems a pretty clear suggestion as well as checking the projects pages/documentation | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | OnkelTem, they are pretty much the experts on android - unlike most of us here ... | 11:35 |

| rigo88 | are maybe any stored temporary network datas anywhere and a command to clean them? like in windows the "ipconfig /flushdns" and registerdns? | 11:37 |
| OnkelTem | ikonia: or use proper PPA | 11:37 |
| ikonia | OnkelTem: so a.) reading the doucmentation on the projects web page b.) asking other android developers would be the correct approach | 11:37 |
| daftykins | rigo88: no | 11:37 |

| rigo88 | and how you mean "from repo"? not from the kernel.ubuntu.com site? | 11:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | rigo88: you can install the kernel and retain the older one too. just choose the older one from grub if there's an issue | 11:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | rigo88: no unbuntu repo has 3.2 3.5 3.8 and 3.11 kernels | 11:47 |
| daftykins | rigo88: not long until XBMC's new version anyway ;) | 11:47 |
| rigo88 | than simply download from the site above and install it? | 11:48 |

| cloneG | hello I set up a proxy when I installed ubuntu at school but now that I want to use the same virtual machine at home cant find the proxy config file | 12:08 |
| cloneG | etc/environment is empty | 12:08 |
| cloneG | but I am having problems updating system | 12:08 |
| daftykins | what is it, virtualbox and you copied the disk image? | 12:09 |
| cloneG | no | 12:09 |
| daftykins | why not just install fresh? | 12:09 |
| eaj | @daftykins: oh I see, so does that mean I can increase the size to be bigger & it would then cache more? | 12:09 |
| cloneG | because it is a webserver I want to use as a DC installing samba4 | 12:09 |
| cloneG | how do I remove the proxy config?¿ | 12:10 |
| daftykins | eaj: yep, for example years ago when i used to use a transparent squid cache proxy on my LAN, i set it higher than the old winzip download installer, then it would serve me that over LAN if i went to get it again ;) | 12:10 |
| eaj | @daftykins: the issue is, I keep rebuilding lots of VMs locally all the time & it keeps downloading lots of packages from various sources (apt, composer, pear etc) each time | 12:10 |
| eaj | @daftykins: ok great, thanks | 12:10 |
| daftykins | eaj: sounds like it'd make more sense to run a local APT mirror instead of that | 12:10 |
| Touhou11 | You can use an apt cache server | 12:10 |
| daftykins | if you have a spare box + disk space | 12:10 |
| eaj | @dfatykins I thought of that, but it is not just for apt | 12:11 |
| eaj | @daftykins: apt is part of it, but there is php composer, js bower packages too ....etc | 12:11 |
| daftykins | cloneG: still failing to see why you don't clean install | 12:11 |
| cloneG | external disk space¿? | 12:12 |

| rigo88 | yes. usually the ubuntu support chat is loaded with chix... chicks with dicks :D | 12:41 |

| cfhowlett | rigo88, you can stop such talk immediately | 12:41 |
| rigo88 | or maybe leave. have "fun"... | 12:42 |
| daftykins | cloneG: lol you really shouldn't just put sudo in front of anything that doesn't work first time. i have no idea why you can't update, that seems very odd to me | 12:43 |
| llutz | cloneG: pastebin "LANG=C sudo apt-get update" please | 12:43 |
| cloneG | daftykins I think I ll follow your first advice | 12:43 |

| pcnerd | Hi Channel, hoping for some help w/ a vpn client using terminal only. Currently using pptp-linux and the connection appears fine however I suspect routes aren't auto configuring as they do using the same details on my windoze box. Any thoughts on the debugging ? | 12:53 |
| cloneG | again | 12:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | Tom1: if you make a fresh user, is it the same? | 12:53 |
| phil-ns | Minnen: look at the "No package" lines, you need to install those packages before compiling...they are unmet dependencies. | 12:53 |

| Tom1 | it crashes with my me | 12:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | Tom1: if the new user is ok, we know that the OS is fine and that some setting in your config is the issue | 12:55 |
| llutz | cloneG: "sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/Release.gpg" btw. don't do any testdownloads into system-directories | 12:55 |
| Minnen | phil-ns > i look for them in synaptic, USC and also in google but i couldnt find them | 12:55 |
| Tom1 | ok i'll try that later , it means my configuration are wrong? | 12:55 |

| cloneG | llutz daftykins fixed? that was it? to remove a file? | 12:58 |
| llutz | toxz: in vim, not in the shell | 12:58 |
| llutz | cloneG: no just a side-note | 12:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | toxz: yes because you do it in vi / vim | 12:58 |
| toxz | :-D | 12:58 |
| toxz | that makes sense | 12:58 |
| pcnerd | ActionPa1snip: what do you mean re. the command? the pon <name> nodetach command? | 12:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | toxz: the issue is in vi / vim, so you do it there ..... | 12:58 |
| Tom1 | like when i open libreoffice presentation software, its crashes and everything freezes, then i have to hard boot the computer. | 12:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | pcnerd: no idea about that one, sorry | 12:59 |
| daftykins | cloneG: no >_< that was the file you downloaded earlier when i asked you to test 'wget' but in your last pastebin link it shows an error for that file being there. so delete it. | 12:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | Tom1: try a new user as a first step | 12:59 |
| MichaelR | architecture of the pc_ | 12:59 |

| dramas | i have a sysload that is 14 at the moment and it seems to be a process that is hung on a volume i can't unmount (or rather, was forcibly unmounted but the kernel doesnt agree) | 13:05 |
| dramas | http://pastebin.com/L8ykA8S3 | 13:05 |
| hex20dec | ActionPa1snip: Thank you, I'll check those out. | 13:05 |
| dramas | i cannot seem to get rid of the process, and the machine is ground to a halt | 13:06 |
| Ben64 | dramas: reboot? | 13:06 |
| daftykins | ^yeah, reset? | 13:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | dramas: try: sudo nice -20 top | 13:07 |
| cloneG | hey its working...I thought I had a proxy config somewhere but now I am doubting it | 13:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | dramas: you can then use top to kill the process )as root) | 13:07 |
| Ben64 | ActionPa1snip: you didn't read the pastebin. dramas is running as root | 13:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | Ben64: oh, well it will still work the same :) | 13:08 |
| Ben64 | not after the kill command in the pastebin didn't work already :| | 13:08 |
| Ben64 | easy solution - reboot | 13:09 |
| dramas | i cannot reboot :( | 13:09 |
| hex20dec | ActionPa1snip: None of the links you provided seem to match my scenario. =\ | 13:09 |
| Ben64 | dramas: sure you can, 'reboot' | 13:09 |
| dramas | dont be a jerk. that's a machine that a) i cannot get to if it doesnt come up clean and b) will not come up clean | 13:10 |
| Ben64 | it's a bad idea to rely on a computer to be 100% | 13:10 |
| dramas | and yet we do this every day. | 13:10 |
| dramas | have you considered not actually discussing philosophy with me this morning? | 13:11 |
| Ben64 | bottom line - you need to reboot | 13:11 |
| Potato_ | hello there | 13:11 |
| dramas | is there no way i can get rid of the iowait? | 13:11 |
| hex20dec | Lol @ dramas | 13:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | hex20dec: you can use the boot fixer to set an option using the GUI, it will add a boot option to your OS and make the TTY disaplay | 13:13 |
| daftykins | dramas: is it a physical box or VPS? | 13:13 |
| dramas | daftykins: it is a machine in ec2 | 13:15 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 13:15 |
| dramas | daftykins: the problem is a volume was unmounted via the aws console vs on the machine | 13:15 |

| kkkkkkkk | hi, all , i did some customisation to ubuntu and then created a bootable ISO image, using Remastersys, now, suppose i have 10 computers, connected with each other with local network, not internet. How do i install it simultaneously to all the computers. | 13:22 |
| kkkkkkkk | with all my customisation and other settings | 13:23 |
| daftykins | make 10 CDs? :) | 13:23 |
| kkkkkkkk | 10 computers may change to 100 computers, i really need some way to save time | 13:23 |
| dramas | jumpstart! | 13:23 |
| dramas | i mean kickstart! | 13:23 |
| daftykins | kkkkkkkk: PXE then | 13:23 |
| kkkkkkkk | daftykins: i am confused, please guide, i mean, there are pxe, netboot, parallel something, | 13:24 |
| hex20dec | ActionPa1snip: Didn't fix it! =[ | 13:24 |
| kkkkkkkk | daftykins: how to install using PXE on all computers, all at once | 13:24 |
| Ben64 | you could install on one, image it to the others | 13:25 |
| kkkkkkkk | Ben64: yes, i want the same, how to do that | 13:25 |
| kkkkkkkk | is there any need to have same hardware on all systems | 13:25 |
| Ben64 | i've never done it, but in theory you could pxe boot some small linux client, and have them all use netcat to listen for the image, and have one act as the server and send the image out broadcast to all computers on the network, and they'd all write the image at once | 13:26 |
| sh0t | isn't it possible to use PXE on all the instances u want to install | 13:28 |
| sh0t | ? | 13:28 |
| Ben64 | i suppose, if it doesn't require user input | 13:29 |
| kkkkkkkk | Ben64: i am confused | 13:29 |
| sh0t | ohhh Ben64 i didn't see that request he doesnt want to interact during installation | 13:29 |
| Ben64 | well i'm guessing he doesn't, 100 computers would take a while | 13:30 |
| kkkkkkkk | Ben64: i just want to install simulataneously on all computers, without installing it one by one to all | 13:30 |
| Ben64 | right | 13:30 |
| kkkkkkkk | now, what is the easiest way,except one by one to install | 13:31 |
| kkkkkkkk | ;) | 13:31 |
| sh0t | yes but it's not clear what u mean by 'simoultaneously' | 13:31 |
| Ben64 | i described how i would do it above | 13:31 |
| kkkkkkkk | it can take 2 hours. I will adjust. But install should be simultaneously to all | 13:32 |
| hex20dec | Take apart the hdds and ghost them | 13:32 |
| hex20dec | I mean, gather them all and then ghost them | 13:32 |
| kkkkkkkk | hex20dec: ghost will work on any type of hardware? | 13:33 |
| hex20dec | Yep | 13:33 |
| kkkkkkkk | i never used ghost | 13:33 |
| hex20dec | Well | 13:33 |
| hex20dec | Since it's linux it would | 13:33 |
| hitsujiTMO | kkkkkkkk: sounds like you want to do a multicast ghost? only software i know of that does this is symantec ghost | 13:33 |
| Ben64 | why not netcat like i already suggested? :| | 13:33 |
| kkkkkkkk | hex20dec: thanks, but symantec ghost is not free, i think | 13:33 |
| wessman | is it possible to give a user root access without being forced to use sudo? i know its not recommended but I want to do it anyway | 13:34 |
| jjavaholic | is it possible to start nautilus without the sidebar. | 13:34 |
| hex20dec | If you're going to be doing it on100 pcs, you must make some money. I guess you can affort it, no? | 13:34 |
| hex20dec | =P | 13:34 |
| Ben64 | wessman: there is no good reason to not use sudo | 13:34 |
| hitsujiTMO | kkkkkkkk: 30 day trial for the ghost suite :P | 13:34 |
| hex20dec | There you go, kkkkkkkk ^ | 13:35 |
| kkkkkkkk | hitsujiTMO: well, this is nice , one more question | 13:35 |
| Ben64 | or, netcat.... installable on any linux system | 13:35 |
| CarlFK1 | kkkkkkkk: I think you want pxe + preseed | 13:36 |
| kkkkkkkk | Ben64: thanks, i will take a look at netcat and ghost | 13:36 |
| CarlFK1 | kkkkkkkk: oh.. that kind of install. look for clonezilla. | 13:36 |
| wessman | Ben64, I would like to create a temporary ftp account that has all rights to /var/www/ but I dont want the apache/www-group to have this. The easiest way I could come up with was a temp root account and use SSHFTP | 13:36 |
| kkkkkkkk | clonezilla, ghost, pxe, netcat, i am confused guys | 13:37 |
| hex20dec | Oh wow, I didn't know clonezilla has multicast | 13:37 |
| hex20dec | Lol | 13:37 |
| hex20dec | I feel bad for kkkkkkkk. There are a lot of solutions, you'll need to do you homework and see what's best for you. | 13:37 |
| Ben64 | clonezilla is good, i'd recommend against ghost, its non-free | 13:38 |
| hex20dec | s/you/your | 13:38 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: what exactly are you trying to do? | 13:38 |
| kkkkkkkk | i don't want to remove harddrive from each pc, since they are sealed and are under warranty | 13:38 |
| hex20dec | I agree, clonezilla | 13:38 |
| hex20dec | kkkkkkkk: You don't need to with multicasting | 13:38 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: are you trying to install multiple machines? | 13:39 |
| kkkkkkkk | gordonjcp: i want to install custom ubuntu linux, simultaneously to all pcs | 13:39 |
| hex20dec | kkkkkkkk: Read the first paragraph http://clonezilla.org/ | 13:39 |
| hex20dec | Last sentence clearly solves your problem | 13:39 |
| kkkkkkkk | let me see, hex20dec and thanks all | 13:40 |
| kkkkkkkk | i was confused with so much solutions, i am still confused, but start with clonezilla | 13:40 |
| hex20dec | kkkkkkkk: Sure =D, you may want to check the limitations as well. | 13:40 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: simultaneously, or concurrently? | 13:40 |
| hex20dec | Yes, clonezilla is the way to go imo | 13:40 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: do you care if they all finish at the same wallclock time? | 13:41 |
| kkkkkkkk | gordonjcp: yes, installation on all should finish at same time | 13:41 |
| === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK | ||
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: no idea, then | 13:44 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: there's probably no real way to do that | 13:44 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: setting up a PXE boot server and installing them off that will work | 13:45 |
| gordonjcp | kkkkkkkk: doing several at the same time will be slow | 13:45 |
| kkkkkkkk | gordonjcp: i think clonezilla is what i am looking for, | 13:45 |
| kkkkkkkk | and last line, in 10 minutes, they installed the same on 41 computers | 13:46 |
| kkkkkkkk | so, i will give it a try | 13:46 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest15125 | ||
| kkkkkkkk | i will move to pxe boot server , after that | 13:46 |
| hitsujiTMO | kkkkkkkk: only thing with multicast is to keep everything to a single broadcast domain/vlan. you don't want broadcasting throughout your entire network causing a ddos | 13:47 |
| kkkkkkkk | hitsujiTMO: thanks | 13:51 |

| deinspanjer | Is it okay to point sources.list to archive.ubuntu.com, and if so, does it happen to automatically select an appropriate mirror? | 14:54 |
| Pici | deinspanjer: yes and no. | 14:54 |
| deinspanjer | Pici: thank you very much. Does there happen to exist an easy way to get apt to automatically select a mirror in an unattended fashion? I'm setting up a VM that provisions itself with puppet. | 14:55 |

| deinspanjer | And one more question. I am thinking of moving /var/cache/apt/archives out of the VM into a shared directory on the host so that packages used by provisioning won't have to be re-downloaded whenever the VM is rolled back. Would a simple simlink be appropriate or is there some config setting that I should change instead? | 14:59 |

| ActionPa1snip | deinspanjer: could mount a network share (nfs etc) to the same folder, should be ok in my eyes. I'd run a test box first to see how it goes | 15:03 |
| Pici | deinspanjer: You might be more interested in using something like apt-cacher-ng or squid-deb-proxy or similar. | 15:03 |
| deinspanjer | Pici: I read about that, but I didn't really want to bother setting up an apache endpoint. This is a very specific and small need. I just want to persist downloaded packages between VM wipes. I'm using Vagrant, so by default, I have a shared folder in the VM named /vagrant that maps back to the vagrant project directory on the host. So I was just thinking about symlinking /var/cache/apt/archives to /vagrant/.cache | 15:07 |

| pietro10 | Hi. I added the VirtualBox repository from virtualbox.org. It specifies virtualbox-4.3 as | 16:04 |
| pietro10 | Package: virtualbox-4.3 | 16:04 |
| pietro10 | Version: 4.3.6-91406~Ubuntu~raring | 16:04 |
| pietro10 | and the version in the repos right now are 4.3.0 | 16:04 |
| pietro10 | however apt-get update doesn't recognize the version on the virtalbox website as newer | 16:05 |
| DammitJim | I actually added an entry in my /etc/network/interfaces to disable ipv6 | 16:05 |
| DammitJim | but then I removed it | 16:05 |
| pietro10 | it DOES recognize the repos, because it does provide a newer virtualbox 4.2 | 16:05 |
| DammitJim | when I call ifconfig, I don't see ipv6 addresses | 16:05 |
| DammitJim | I probably borked something | 16:05 |
| pietro10 | how can I get the latest virtualbox-4.3? | 16:05 |
| pietro10 | thanks | 16:05 |

| DammitJim | imghost, yes sir. I will provide it after I check my internet speed | 16:11 |
| DammitJim | I'm not trying to figure out if it is just the server vs the actual network | 16:11 |
| imghost | DammitJim, atleast show us the output of ifconfig | 16:11 |
| pietro10 | hitsujiTMO, llutz thanks; I'm not going to bother fixing this problem, and will finally chuck this thing this weekend | 16:12 |
| pietro10 | last straw | 16:12 |
| pietro10 | now to decide if I want vanilla kubuntu or ubuntu studio... | 16:12 |
| DammitJim | ok, it seems to be just this one machine | 16:12 |
| imghost | DammitJim, also sudo lshw -C network so that we can see some information about your hardwares | 16:12 |

| DammitJim | what was the other one? | 16:14 |
| imghost | DammitJim, not intrested | 16:14 |
| DammitJim | that's nice | 16:15 |
| DammitJim | imghost, I'm sorry... I don't know a ton about linux and I didn't know what information is sensitive or not | 16:16 |

| DammitJim | thanks imghost | 16:18 |
| hitsujiTMO | DammitJim: dropped:24171 <- thats rather bad | 16:18 |

| TJ- | DammitJim: hitsujiTMO Dropped RX packets would be expected if there is IPv6 traffic hitting the interface but IPv6 has been disabled | 16:20 |
| imghost | DammitJim, its just your internet connection is slow now so do test it at | 16:20 |
| DammitJim | ok, I rebooted the server and this is what ifconfig says: | 16:20 |
| imghost | rebooted?? | 16:21 |
| DammitJim | http://pastie.org/8679079 | 16:21 |
| DammitJim | yeah... it freaked me out that the ipv6 line wasn't showing up | 16:21 |
| DammitJim | but now it is | 16:21 |
| hitsujiTMO | TJ-: 50% of the packets tho? | 16:21 |
| DammitJim | do test what, imghost ? | 16:21 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: Depends on how much traffic there is, I've seen higher on IPv6 only interfaces | 16:21 |
| DammitJim | I was able to get the file from another server | 16:22 |
| hitsujiTMO | i guess so yeah | 16:22 |
| DammitJim | and I'm still getting Service unavailable | 16:22 |
| imghost | DammitJim, yes now it is enabled now go to speedtest,net and check ur net speed | 16:22 |
| imghost | http://www.speedtest.net/ | 16:23 |
| DammitJim | imghost, I don't have a browser on this machine | 16:23 |
| TJ- | hitsujiTMO: I'd also expect to see dropped RX packets (IPv4 or IPv6) if the VLAN is misconfigured and routing packets to that interface that don't match its MAC address. I'd recommend tcpdump to monitor it | 16:23 |

| SonikkuAmerica | rustuptwist: Yeah | 19:07 |
| Oliver_ | SonikkuAmerica: thx | 19:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oliver_: Look directly to the right of "Mem:" under "total" | 19:07 |
| rustuptwist | SonikkuAmerica: btw all four partitions are primary partitions. there are 4 of them already | 19:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oliver_: You'll see the amount of RAM in MB | 19:08 |
| sudormrf | Oliver_, cat /proc/meminfo | 19:08 |
| Oliver_ | So Total is 2006 for "mem", what is "swap" I have 2035 for that | 19:08 |

| Oliver_ | SonikkuAmerica: Ok. | 19:10 |

| lorenzo | any idea? | 19:12 |

| tortue | ok try that command | 19:16 |

| lorenzo | tortue, hold on I'm trying to reformat the drive | 19:17 |
| sudormrf | rustuptwist, linux, win 7 and win 8. that means there are at least 4 partitions on that machine. | 19:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rustuptwist: What do the other primary partitions have in them? | 19:17 |
| === snor2 is now known as snorlax | ||

| lorenzo | for some reason Ubuntu is mounting the drive as root | 19:18 |
| rustuptwist | sudormrf: the thing is the LiveCD will not allow an install 'alongside; win7 as it did on my sons hp pavilion dv2000. the text on this says 'inside' not alongside. we dont want that | 19:18 |
| rustuptwist | SonikkuAmerica: nothing to my knowledge. whatever win7 puts in them by default | 19:18 |

I've followed the Wiki article on how to set up a NFSv4 server on Ubuntu and created a "pseudo filesystem" under /export, but now I want to make some hardlinks between two of the "bind" mounts under /export.

| TJ- | rustuptwist: before that, you need to conquer the shrinking of the Windows 279GB partition, either via Windows or using gparted from the Ubuntu installer | 20:22 |
| k1l | amel: that was just to show you that this part is the command | 20:22 |
| amel | oh lol ok | 20:22 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: whichever you think is better, its your call. | 20:23 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: If you can't create the space to install Ubuntu into, there's no point altering the partition table | 20:23 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: ok i am in win7 disk mangmt right now. what should i attempt? | 20:23 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Since Win7's Disk Management failed you'd best try Ubuntu's gparted | 20:23 |
| amel | k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/6839928/ | 20:24 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Oh OK, if you're in Disk Management already, select the C volume, right-click, from the context menu choose "Shrink" | 20:24 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: If it actually finishes 'querying the disk' this time, reduce the size to 179GB or as close to that as possible, which'll give you 100MB for Ubuntu | 20:25 |
| k1l | amel: ok, please show that: "dpkg -l |grep linux-" | 20:25 |

I am using university internet so all of the ports are blocked when i check them with tools online, but I can obviously use the internet so I know there's SOME way to get to the web. I am trying to ssh into my machine from elsewhere so i'm trying to set up tunneling to go through a port that IS open. Has anyone had experience with this? | 20:31 |

| litropy | My college network uses PEAP/MSCHAPv2 authentication without a certificate, and when I boot up to the login screen, it attempts to authenticate, something happens where it requests the password and subsequently asks to ignore the cert. All of these credentials are already specified and saved in nm's connections. If I can get my (ubuntu account) login typed fast enough, I can bypass this whole action, and network-manger authenticates using the crede | 20:34 |
| litropy | ntials it already knows, without further input. Basically, I want to make it so that either nm waits until login to attempt authentication, or can access all needed credentials without account login, safely. Because otherwise, while I'm trying to type my account password, I get prompted for wifi login credentials, which is both annoying and unneeded. | 20:34 |
| k1l | TJ-: yes. i did look if the headers are installed and now if the package did install without any issue. | 20:34 |

| k1l | TJ-: ah ok. the user mentioned he installed the nvidiawebsite driver first. so that is some left over | 20:36 |
| TJ- | amel: k1l: That's the standard Ubuntu package, probably from xorg-edgers | 20:37 |
| amel | TJ: you're right cause i did install from there | 20:37 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: select try ubuntu yes? | 20:37 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Yes. | 20:38 |
| k1l | amel: do a "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*" to remove all nvidia stuff. there is some mixeup from the different versions | 20:38 |
| amel | K1l: ok doing it now | 20:38 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: I assume Windows refused to Shrink the volume? | 20:38 |
| litropy | I'm thinking it's an issue with there being no certificate, because nm logs into my home network using WPA at the account login screen just fine. | 20:39 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: you got it :( | 20:39 |
| k1l | amel: after that do a "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" and show it again please | 20:39 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Grrrr! Let's hope the volume isn't too fragmented for gparted to be able to shrink it using the NTFS tools | 20:39 |
| TJ- | k1l: amel: might need to ensure the xorg-edgers PPA is removed, if that's not already been done | 20:40 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: no i ran a program called defragger and it said it was 'good' | 20:40 |
| k1l | TJ-: he didnt say he used a ppa but loaded the driver direct from nvidia hp | 20:40 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: OK ... that doesn't mean that all the fragments have been moved to the start of the file-system though, it only means there is minimal break-up of clusters | 20:40 |
| ikonia | defragger ??? | 20:40 |
| TJ- | k1l: yeah, bad communications the bane of remote support :) | 20:41 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: ok in ubuntu desktop now | 20:41 |
| amel | ok guys ill send it as soon as it finnishes | 20:41 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: I'm trying to recall how we start it manually.... I think you need to press Alt+F2, then type "gksudo gparted" | 20:42 |
| Wiz_KeeD | How do I test the limit of the wireless card itself, It seems much slower than my previous one and I don't know if it's because of the encoding or something else | 20:43 |
| Wiz_KeeD | I dont know where to start basically | 20:43 |

| TJ- | Wiz_KeeD: focus on signal to noise ratio to being with, if the local radio waves are noisy that won't be so good, which is one reason for bad performance | 20:55 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Yes, you have to "Apply" the changes you 'queue up' - that's to prevent casual mistakes | 20:55 |
| TJ- | amel: OK, do you want the latest nvidia driver (331)? reasons for that would be a recent nvidia chipset, or to workaround bugs in older driver versions | 20:56 |
| amel | TJ: i want the most recent one or any that work please | 20:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Abbott so you're asking for advice on how to do something that is not allowed | 20:57 |

| TJ- | amel: Then "sudo tail /var/log/kern.log" and you should messages that indicate the nvidia kernel module loaded | 21:05 |
| muessigb | ok. the point is, that i wated to "make" a c bootloader for the atmega and that didn't worked on windows 7 so i tried linux. well when i search for gcc i only get messages viewer | 21:06 |
| ikonia | muessigb: there is no point in that comment | 21:06 |

| muessigb | ah well one more thing | 21:10 |
| TJ- | Abbott: "stunnel" would be the best bet, to set up a TLS tunnel on port 443 of your remote proxy/relay server that the internal PC connects out to. | 21:13 |

| phil-ns | watch its output, see what kernels it lists | 21:29 |
| samertm | phil-ns: it lists "Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-15-generic \n Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-15-generic", and it also lists the kernel 3.11.0-12-generic | 21:30 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: OK, "sudo dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=100M" .... and wait until it has finished copying | 21:30 |
| Bray90820 | Is there any way to have a bash script run after a Bluetooth device connects | 21:31 |
| phil-ns | samertm: does that match what grub is showing you at boot? | 21:31 |
| samertm | phil-ns: yes | 21:31 |
| phil-ns | boo | 21:31 |
| samertm | yah D: | 21:31 |
| samertm | the weird part is that it sometimes works | 21:31 |
| samertm | like, the 3.11.0-15 kernel never worked | 21:32 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: Yes, using udev... you'd want to add a script in "/etc/udev/rules.d/" | 21:32 |
| samertm | but sometimes 3.11.0-12 worked | 21:32 |
| samertm | but it isn't anymore | 21:32 |
| samertm | and yesterday I restarted a bunch of times using "sudo shutdown -r now" | 21:32 |
| samertm | and then 3.11.0-12 worked | 21:32 |
| samertm | but I tried that today and it keeps crashing | 21:32 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: would i just ad the commands to that file | 21:32 |
| phil-ns | samertm: you can get X in recovery tho right? | 21:32 |
| Toph | on Ubuntu 13.10 I'm setting up a dual monitor system,, one monitor through my DVI port , the other through my serial port. The computer sees both monitor but only displays on the one through the serial port. Can I correct this? | 21:33 |
| phil-ns | samertm: if so, you could install and run boot-repair | 21:33 |
| BetaSoul | With the opensource ATI graphics driver, how do I turn off the discrete(ATI) graphics chip? the fglrx driver crashes unity. | 21:33 |
| samertm | phil-ns: okay | 21:33 |
| samertm | thanks for the help :D | 21:33 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: it's a directory so then would i just add the file to the directory? | 21:33 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: No, you'd add a udev config file in that directory that matches the ID of the bluetooth device, and on the ADD event, runs your custom shell script | 21:33 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: i am kinda a nube | 21:34 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: "man udev" and see the section "Rules files"; use that as a basis for searching for examples on the web | 21:34 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: "udev" is the userspace device daemon, it receives device events from the Linux kernel and acts on them | 21:35 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: Well i am not even sure if this is what i want | 21:35 |
| Bray90820 | I'll enplane my issue | 21:36 |
| TJ- | Toph: I don't know of any PC that displays video output on a serial port! I suspect you really mean a VGA port (15-pin d-sub connector) | 21:36 |
| Toph | TJ-,,, sorry,, i do mean a VGA port | 21:36 |
| samertm | phil-ns: I found a similar problem on askubuntu | 21:37 |
| Abbott | Thank you very much TJ-! | 21:37 |
| samertm | they said that they had to remove the fglrx-legacy driver | 21:37 |
| TJ- | Toph: System Settings > Displays | 21:37 |
| samertm | and I'm using an ATI card | 21:37 |
| samertm | here goes nothing~ | 21:37 |
| Toph | TJ-,,, yes,, i followed online suggestions there.. without any luck | 21:38 |
| Bray90820 | I have a bash script for the scrolling on my Wireless mouse and i basically want it to run at start up. If i set it to run at start up it doesn't work because i need to click a button on the mouse to get ubuntu to recognize it | 21:38 |
| === patmanRR is now known as pattakosn | ||
| rustuptwist | TJ-: that last command wasnt downloading anything from net was it? | 21:39 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: the "sudo dd ..."? no, it is copying the 3.97GB sda4 over to the USB | 21:39 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: I have a bash script for the scrolling on my Wireless mouse and i basically want it to run at start up. If i set it to run at start up it doesn't work because i need to click a button on the mouse to get ubuntu to recognize it | 21:40 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: ok didnt think so, had to restart net connection | 21:40 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: by 'startup' do you mean after the mouse has connected? | 21:41 |
| Bray90820 | I meny when i start the computer | 21:41 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: finished copying | 21:42 |
| jcrza | It seems like whenever I wget something on my ubuntu server it's corrupt | 21:42 |
| jcrza | I have no idea what's going on | 21:42 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: i ment when i start the computer | 21:42 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: It is possible to call custom scripts from "/etc/rc.local" at start-up, that is the last script-file to be processed. | 21:42 |
| rustuptwisted | TJ-: 40+1 records in 40+1 records out 4260716544 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 559.922 s, 7.6 MB/s | 21:42 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: OK ... now let's ensure there is no corruption; we'll generate a hash which must be identical on both: "sudo md5sum /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb1" | 21:43 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: i know how to start a bash script at startup but if i do that then the script fails because I need to click a button on my mouse for it to be recognized | 21:44 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: That'll take a few minutes, but the 2 lines should contain identical MD5 hash values... if so, we can go ahead with manipulating the partition table | 21:44 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: ok | 21:44 |
| samertm | phil-ns: turns out that x crashes when I sign in through recovery mode | 21:44 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: So, the mouse won't have connected at that point. That was why I asked. Is it the case that pressing the button on the mouse causes it to connect to the PC? | 21:45 |
| samertm | but it takes me back to lightdm | 21:45 |
| Vince74 | ciao | 21:45 |
| Vince74 | !list | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Vince74: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 21:46 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: from the information i can find apparently it's in sort of a sleep state | 21:46 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820: why not add the script to your session 'Startup Applications'? | 21:49 |
| TJ- | Bray90820: I suspect then that it does a bluetooth connect when you press the button, which takes us back to using udev. You can monitor it to find out. Have the mouse off/disconnected/asleep, then at a terminal do "udevadm monitor --kernel --property --subsystem-match=bluetooth" and then connect/wake the mouse. You should see a bunch of events which tell you what is happening. It it is connecting, you can use those as the basis of a udev rules file in "/etc/udev/ | 21:49 |
| TJ- | rules.d/" that will execute your own script | 21:49 |
| Lauxley | Hi, i'm trying to upgrade my ubuntu 12.04 but when i do do-release-upgrade i get an error : "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade." how can i find out what's going on ? | 21:50 |
| Bray90820 | glitsj16: The script will fail because it the mouse isn't really connected | 21:50 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820: you can programmatically let it click the button you need with xdotool | 21:51 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: the two numbers are different, vastly different | 21:51 |
| Lauxley | here is the end of the log : http://dpaste.com/1575786/ | 21:51 |
| Bray90820 | I'm not sure if the script will execute before the button is clicked | 21:52 |
| donvito | is it possible to change cpu frequency from 3.0 to 2.4 on ubuntu machine? | 21:52 |
| Bray90820 | glitsj16: I'm not sure if the script will execute before the button is clicked | 21:52 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: aha, that's my fault! sorry, just realised that the sdb1 partition is larger than the source partition! | 21:52 |
| bekks | Lauxley: Pastebin the entire output of "sudo apt-get update" please. | 21:52 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: yeah I was kinda wondering about size difference. ok what next | 21:53 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820: i might be misunderstanding the issue, but i mean you can let the script itself click your mouse without your manual intervention | 21:53 |
| Bray90820 | glitsj16: is that possible with a bash script? | 21:53 |
| sup3rman | anyone know which package has the acer special keys support? | 21:53 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820: yes, look at xdotool | 21:54 |
| Lauxley | bekks: http://pastebin.com/gaGh37RZ | 21:54 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: let's redo the MD5 on sdb1 but use the correct length! "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb1 bs=4096 count=1040214 | md5sum" | 21:55 |
| bekks | Lauxley: Use ppa-purge to disable all non-default repos, and remove all packages installed from those repos. Note down the repos and the packages you've installed, and try the upgrade again. | 21:55 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: the USB is only 8gb | 21:56 |
| sup3rman | they seem to come with ubuntu, but not some ubuntu-based distros | 21:56 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Yes, which is twice as big as the partition we copied. So this new command reads the exact amount of data in the file-system | 21:56 |
| Lauxley | bekks: thx for your time, will try that, is there a way to automatically remove them though, because there is no way i can tell what package i installed from what repo | 21:57 |
| glitsj16 | Bray90820: the comand would be something like "xdotool click 1" .. Left mouse is 1, middle is 2, right is 3, wheel up is 4, wheel down is 5 | 21:57 |
| Bray90820 | glitsj16: that may not work because it won't be able to find a mouse to click | 21:58 |
| TJ- | glitsj16: I think the objective is to auto-run the script *after* the bluetooth mouse has connected | 21:58 |
| Bray90820 | glitsj16: that is a soft click i may need a hard click | 21:58 |
| King_DuckZ | hello, can somebody help me starting idmapd (for nfs4) on ubuntu please? on some website I see I have to add NEED_IDMAPD="yes", on my system I just do systemctl enable rpc-idmapd... how to do that on ubuntu? | 21:58 |
| glitsj16 | TJ-: Bray90820: ow okay, ignore please, apologies for the confusion | 21:58 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: I am a complete noob with this stuff as you can tell | 21:59 |
| King_DuckZ | I added the NEED_IDMAPD to /etc/default/nfs-common but when I mount the nfs share I still see the wrong uid/gid | 21:59 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: how long do you think before we are ready to do the install? | 22:00 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Once this MD5 is confirmed, it should take no more than 10 minutes to re-partition and put the data back in a logical partition, and then you'll be able to install | 22:01 |
| rustuptwisted | TJ-: 1040214+0 records in 1040214+0 records out 4260716544 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 183.606 s, 23.2 MB/s 48db8a8382033443892b921e5a1bca07 - | 22:01 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Does that MD5 sum match the one for sda4 you generated earlier? | 22:01 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: yes | 22:02 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Fab! we can get on then! You can start gparted again Alt+F2 then "gksudo gparted" | 22:02 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: First, ensure you have the sda hard disk selected (not the USB sdb!) | 22:02 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Next, delete sda4 (the 3.9GB) primary partition | 22:03 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Now Create a new Extended partition (you'll have to figure that out as you go, based on what you see) | 22:03 |
| amel | TJ: ive done sudo service lightdm restart but all i got was a black screen | 22:04 |
| bekks | Lauxley: you can use ppa-purge and log the output. | 22:04 |
| TJ- | amel: Check the logs at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for indications of (EE)rrors | 22:04 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: select the unallocated one, that we created earlier 104.gb or the sda2 174gb? | 22:05 |
| Bray90820 | TJ-: Can you explain udev a bit more | 22:05 |
| amel | TJ: i was forced too do sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* | 22:05 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: The 104GB, the space we created | 22:05 |
| amel | that was the only way to get back on here | 22:06 |
| Atomix26 | yo | 22:06 |
| amel | i also did sudo apt-get remove --purge | 22:06 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: ok i am deleting the sda4 (HP TOOLS) 3.97 partition, correct | 22:07 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Once you've created the Extended to use all that space, then Create a Logical partition inside it and set its "New size" to 4064 MiB | 22:08 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Correct; (delete sda4 HP TOOLS) | 22:09 |
| Lauxley | bekks: the packages i'm supposed to purge are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ right ? | 22:10 |
| bekks | Lauxley: The repos, not the packages. | 22:10 |
| Lauxley | bekks: heh yeah the repos | 22:10 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: ok let me be certain: 1. delete 3.97 first, then 2. create a new extended partition somewhere, or in the 104gb unallocated space? | 22:11 |
| amel | TJ: i didnt see any errors on the logs | 22:11 |
| jackDanielsSon | Hello guys I may have some questions in a few if you all dont mind. but for now I'm just chilling here | 22:11 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Correct. 1. delete sda4 2. create Extended partition in the 104GB free space 3. Create Logical partition of 4064MiB | 22:12 |
| King_DuckZ | so, nobody knows how to start idmapd? | 22:12 |
| Lauxley | bekks: sorry i can't figure out what the repo name is .. | 22:12 |
| Lauxley | from the file name | 22:12 |
| bekks | Lauxley: Then look into the file. | 22:13 |
| Lauxley | and now i feel stupid.. | 22:13 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: so in the new 104gb unallocated add a new parition of 4064mib that is logical | 22:14 |
| samertm | phil-ns: turns out my ~/.Xauthority was owned by root:root | 22:14 |

| neredsenvy | Using Gnome Tweak Tool or something else is it possible to change UI Scaling for specific monitor. I have two monitors one is 15" 1444xN and other is 32" 1920xN on my second monitor the UI Scaling is at 100% and it looks ok but it's nasty for work. | 22:30 |
| TJ- | amel: Those log files indicate you've managed to start multiple X servers at different times (by the numeric suffix). I'd guess the ".0" log-files are the initial X server startup and the ".1" might be the fail-safe log. | 22:31 |
| neredsenvy | Now Gnome Tweak tool allows you to set UI Scaling under Desktop but it does this for all screens so I endup with good looking UI/Text on 32" screen and very small text in main screen. | 22:31 |

| Lauxley | bekks: http://pastebin.com/tVzV6iJq | 22:35 |
| bekks | Lauxley: you could try removing the PPA from the software-center, as you installed it from there. | 22:36 |
| Lauxley | bekks: but then it won't purge the packages i installed from it ? | 22:37 |
| bekks | Lauxley: correct | 22:37 |
| Lauxley | bekks: ill try that anyway | 22:37 |
| bekks | Lauxley: you could use synaptic then to remove all packages that are "locally" installed afterwards. | 22:37 |
| tiblock | Hi. Im newbie in linux and i have question about how it works. Official drivers for video cards dont work in latest ubuntu because they is not opensource and made for "current" xorg server/kernel/dependencies. So you need dependencies that was "current" when driver was made. Is that correct? | 22:38 |
| micros | if a child sends a parent sigterm, and the parent handler catches it and calls exit(0); shouldnt the exit status $? of the process be 0? I am receiving 137 (128+9 == sigkill). very strange. ideas? thanks. | 22:38 |
| shinobi_one | Question: Will it be easier to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 or from 13.10 to 14.04? | 22:38 |
| Lauxley | bekks: ok thx ill check it out | 22:38 |
| bekks | micros: why do you think that's strange? | 22:39 |
| shinobi_one | I'm going to be installing a Server version of Ubuntu, just need to know if 13.10 to 14.04 is easier than 12.04 to 14.04 :) | 22:39 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: It's basically the same - just one step. | 22:39 |
| glitsj16 | shinobi_one: both will need 1 jump so it shouldn't make any difference | 22:39 |
| micros | well, i sent sigterm and called exit with 0. so i would have expected the exit status to be 0. if i hadnt exited, i would have expected 143 (sigterm)... not sure how 137 (sigkill) got involved. | 22:40 |
| daftykins | shinobi_one: LTS releases can only be upgraded between once 14.04 gets a .1 release usually i think | 22:40 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: net connection on laptop dropped so cant paste results. what are we looking for? | 22:40 |
| TJ- | amel: Right! You've got a dual GPU PC with an Intel+Nvidia 'bumblebee' configuration. The Intel driver is loading but the nvidia driver is no-where to be seen, possibly because you're deleted it. I also don't see the open-source nouveau driver, which suggests it is blacklisted still | 22:40 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Did you start the 'dd' copy from sdb1 to sda5 ? | 22:40 |
| shinobi_one | daftykins: I don't understand what you mean, sorry. | 22:40 |
| amel | TJ: i i deleted it a few minutes ago cause i had a black screen | 22:41 |
| shinobi_one | bekks, glitsj16: you're saying it I won't have to do extra work in either case? Both have a straight upgrade to 14.04? | 22:41 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: correct. | 22:41 |
| micros | so is this strange, or normal behavior? | 22:41 |
| daftykins | shinobi_one: so after some time, 14.04 will reach a 14.04.1 (sort of like Windows getting a first Service Pack) - that's when 12.04.x can be upgraded directly to 14.04 | 22:41 |
| TJ- | amel: That isn't the correct approach, you can't fix it if you remove the driver ;) | 22:41 |
| bekks | micros: I'd consider that to be "normal". | 22:41 |
| micros | how come? | 22:41 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: the last command you gave me sudo dd if=/dev.... | 22:41 |
| amel | TJ: true lol, how can i fix it? | 22:41 |
| shinobi_one | daftykins: ahhh gotcha.. but 13.10 should go direct to 14.04 ? | 22:42 |
| shinobi_one | daftykins: without this wait? | 22:42 |
| amel | TJ: and hopefully now that you know i have 2 graphic cards itll be easier to fix it | 22:42 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: 4.3gb copied 197.538 s, 21.6 MB/s | 22:42 |
| bekks | micros: I consider everything else rather than the child exiting itself with exit(0) to be forced somehow, resulting in a non.zero exit code. | 22:43 |
| daftykins | shinobi_one: ultimately, what are you setting up a server for? | 22:43 |
| shinobi_one | daftykins: a code repository among other things, needs to be a server :P | 22:43 |
| micros | in this case, it was the parent though | 22:43 |
| daftykins | shinobi_one: ok - and how many times do you like doing things, to get them working? | 22:44 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Great! OK ... you can "Install Ubuntu" now and it'll see there's that 104GB of unallocated space to use | 22:44 |
| micros | child sent the parent sigterm, parent caught it and exited with 0. so why 137 when i echo $? | 22:44 |
| Lauxley | bekks: so i disabled the repo, removed the 'local' packages in synaptic (there was only skype and steam), and still get the same exact error when i run do-release-upgrade | 22:44 |
| micros | that doesnt sound expected at all | 22:44 |
| bekks | micros: sigterm is non-zero. | 22:44 |
| bekks | Lauxley: Then pastebin the output again... | 22:44 |
| shinobi_one | daftykins: once 14.04 comes out i'll just stay on LTS | 22:44 |
| bekks | Lauxley: along with sudo apt-get update | 22:44 |
| TJ- | micros: Are you sure your signal-handler caught the signal; 137 is the SIGTERM exit code when there is no handler | 22:45 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: Just use 12.04 and decide until 2017 wether you want to update or not. | 22:45 |
| micros | ok, lets rephrase. if you dont catch a signal like sigterm and exit, then $? would be 143, sigterm, right? if you catch the signal and then exit with exit(0) from the context of the signal handler, would the program return status be 0 or something else? maybe my expectation of exiting from a signal handler is wrong | 22:45 |
| micros | 137 is sigkill | 22:45 |
| shinobi_one | bekks: but it's only ~ a few months until 14.04 :D | 22:45 |
| micros | 143 is sigterm | 22:45 |
| === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers | ||
| TJ- | micros: sorry, I meant 143 is the exit code for SIGTERM ... so something is KILLing your process | 22:45 |
| micros | defintely caught. i see logoutput | 22:45 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: And? | 22:46 |
| micros | how can i come to know what? | 22:46 |
| micros | i cant imagine why | 22:46 |
| daftykins | shinobi_one: i personally don't like upgrades at all, so you could play with whichever you like, make notes as you go for what you do, then if the worst comes to the worst, starting from scratch with 14.04 will be smooth playing \o/ | 22:46 |
| shinobi_one | bekks: i'm a stickler for new and improved ;) | 22:46 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: Then why do you want to use LTS? :) | 22:46 |
| === fl_0|afk is now known as fl_0 | ||
| shinobi_one | bekks: because new and improved on *sever* means i want LTS but the latest LTS, not necessarily the latest ubuntu, just latest LTS | 22:47 |
| * Korny scratches his head | 22:47 | |
| bekks | shinobi_one: The latest LTS is 12.04 | 22:47 |
| shinobi_one | bekks: for a few more months yes | 22:47 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: And thats it. Currently, 12.04 is the latest. | 22:47 |
| shinobi_one | bekks: if 12.04 to 14.04 is the same jump (amount of work for me) as 13.10 to 14.04, i'll probably roll 12.04 until 14.04 comes out | 22:48 |
| Korny | its not like 12.04 is so far behind anyhow, it has the latest kernal and all security upgrades. Big difference in the UI honestly | 22:48 |
| shinobi_one | Korny: which I don't mind because I'm talking server | 22:48 |
| bekks | Korny: Shiny new colors in the PTY - it is going to be a server :) | 22:48 |
| shinobi_one | lol | 22:48 |
| Korny | meh my "server" still has a ui | 22:49 |
| rustuptwist | TJ-: message: 'Unmount partitions that are in use?' The installer has detected that the followiing disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sdb' what to do unmount before continuing | 22:49 |
| amel | TJ: any ideas? | 22:49 |
| shinobi_one | Korny: mine doesn't. unless you consider what bekks is saying lol | 22:49 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Yes, umount the USB, its not needed any longer | 22:49 |
| Lauxley | bekks: http://pastebin.com/yq7febgD | 22:51 |
| TJ- | amel: Ensure the drivers are correctly installed (again), reboot to clean things up, if/when the GUI doesn't start correctly switch to TTY1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (which should get you a text console) and then investigate the most recent log-files for Xorg. If there is no text console, just a black screen, you'll need to force the uvesafb driver to load from the GRUB menu option in order to have a console framebuffer. | 22:52 |
| bekks | Lauxley: Remove the backports repo and all packages from there. | 22:52 |
| Korny | Is it sad that I let my son play with an old computer that I just took apart as a toy :) | 22:52 |
| TJ- | micros: Are you running your process in a container? | 22:53 |
| shinobi_one | anyone got a link for 12.04.3-server-amd64.iso ? | 22:53 |
| jhutchins | rustuptwist: I'd probably just reboot the installer, that shouldn't happen. | 22:54 |
| shinobi_one | When I wget the link from ubuntu.com it ends up here http://isos.ubuntu.mirror.constant.com//saucy/ubuntu-13.10-server-i386.iso | 22:54 |
| shinobi_one | which sccares me | 22:54 |
| bekks | shinobi_one: Why? | 22:54 |
| neredsenvy | Why do I have to run nautilus as sudo from terminal anytime I wish to copy files to one of my folders | 22:54 |
| Lauxley | bekks: could i avoid this with a bootable up to date cd ? | 22:54 |
| shinobi_one | bekks: it should be 12.04.3 | 22:54 |
| neredsenvy | Is there a way I can make it so that anytime I run the file explorer it starts as sudo | 22:55 |
| shinobi_one | bekks: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you?distro=server&bits=64&release=lts that's the URL i am wget-ing | 22:55 |

| k1l | neredsenvy: that should not be needed. you are doing something wrong in general | 22:55 |
| k1l | shinobi_one: there is some issue with some java or whatever you need for the homepage when wgetting | 22:56 |
| amel | TJ: lol oh how i wish i knew what all that means. I can switch to TTY1, that how i deleted the drivers in the first place..but as far as investigating Xorg idk what im looking for or what to do there :/ | 22:56 |
| k1l | shinobi_one: just use the direct image links | 22:56 |
| neredsenvy | k1l: I don't understand why this is happening because I'm using the acc I created on installation shouldnt it have root access | 22:56 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: no | 22:56 |
| shinobi_one | k1l: yeah that's what I was looking for, thanks TJ- and bekks | 22:56 |
| TJ- | shinobi_one: At the link I gave you, there's a plain download link for 64-bit server image | 22:56 |
| neredsenvy | k1l: So I have to make my acc root : P | 22:57 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: that is a user. and running blindly everything with sudo is a bad idea. | 22:57 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: no. you dont need to put files in the gui, where you need root permission. and using sudo for gui is twice as bad | 22:57 |
| donvito | how can i see processess how much cpu are using? | 22:58 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: you are really really going to break your system | 22:58 |
| shinobi_one | donvito: `top` | 22:58 |
| TJ- | amel: That's good. With the nvidia drivers installed, and having done a reboot, if the GUI doesn't properly start then switch to TTY1 and then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" so someone here can see the actual live problem | 22:58 |
| k1l | donvito: see top (or htop) in terminal. or use the systemmonitor in gui | 22:58 |
| neredsenvy | k1l: It's annoying because every time I need file explorer to copy/move files in my var/rails/www directory I need to run sudo nautilus but after 10min I will forget I launched it from console and then i close that console and GUI window closes with it | 22:58 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: you are using the atom bomb to shoot onto a bird. make a setup with users and groups that works in that case | 22:59 |
| NetCatty | hi | 23:00 |
| greeter | greetings NetCatty | 23:00 |
| neredsenvy | Oh well it's back to Windows 8 for me this is to much of productivity bummer | 23:00 |
| amel | TJ: but when i get into TTY1 how will i get back here if the screen is black. i literally cant see a thing. | 23:00 |
| Lauxley | bekks: no luck, but now that i think about it, i had to manually install a backport for my network card to work, could this be the problem ? | 23:01 |
| bekks | Lauxley: yes | 23:01 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: no, just take 2 minutes to think about it and put your user in a group that got write access in that folders | 23:01 |
| genii | neredsenvy: If you have a console open to run it this way, why not just move the files you need by: sudo cp or sudo mv ...? | 23:01 |
| Lauxley | bekks: in my kernel or something, not sure | 23:01 |
| kingfisher64 | what do others use as a system backup/snapshot? I've downloaded timeshift to try. | 23:02 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: dont blame ubuntu when you break all security systems just because you dont have a clue | 23:02 |
| donvito | how to kill users in sshd? | 23:02 |
| neredsenvy | k1l: I don't really have anything on Ubuntu/This PC I just use it for RubyMine IDE and nothing that important on it so a failure would not present any loss | 23:03 |
| Lauxley | bekks: this is what i did http://paste.ubuntu.com/6840725/ | 23:03 |

| donvito | i need to kill active users logged via sshd | 23:03 |
| Korny | why not just restart the sshd dameon? | 23:04 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: user and groups rights are really basic linux stuff. if you dont like that dont use linux, that is all. | 23:04 |
| TJ- | amel: irssi or weechat are popular | 23:04 |
| donvito | how to restart sshd daemon? | 23:04 |
| neredsenvy | What annoys me is I run sublime text via GUI and then I can't save/edit any files under my var/www folder ... | 23:04 |
| k1l | neredsenvy: again: put your user in the group that is owner of that folder and files | 23:05 |
| k1l | !permissions | neredsenvy | 23:05 |

| Korny | sudo service ssh restart ? | 23:05 |
| glitsj16 | kingfisher64: i use timeshift, very happy with it .. as with all backup software it's a good idea to do some testing, including the restore functionality so you know what to do when needed | 23:05 |
| TJ- | neredsenvy: Then you need to amend ownership permissions. Your editing user needs to be a member of the group that owns /var/www/, and that directory and its contents all need "chmod -R g+w ..." permissions | 23:06 |
| donvito | nope the users are still loged in | 23:06 |
| Korny | sudo service ssh stop ? | 23:06 |
| amel | TJ: installing irssi now... after that then ill install sudo apt-get nvidia-current 331? | 23:06 |
| jayar | how do i put sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer on a usb flash so i can install it on my laptop? | 23:06 |
| Korny | if you stop the service it should disconnect them | 23:06 |
| kingfisher64 | i'm saving over a local network, I imagine that's ok with timeshift glitsj16? | 23:06 |
| donvito | it will disconect me too | 23:06 |
| Korny | lol | 23:06 |
| Korny | well that restart should have as well | 23:07 |
| kalekip1_ | Does anybody know how I can make my gnome terminal semi-transparent? I'm on 13.10 and I don't have the "background" tab everybody talks about. | 23:07 |
| donvito | thats not the answer i want | 23:07 |
| donvito | dude | 23:07 |
| glitsj16 | kingfisher64: sure, that's a supported backup location | 23:07 |
| Lauxley | bekks: at this point i think i should just format my system drive and install from a fresh CD right ? | 23:07 |
| Lauxley | i basically lost all my apps anyway .. | 23:07 |
| TJ- | amel: No, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331" | 23:08 |
| Korny | You didn't say you were remote.... | 23:08 |
| kingfisher64 | there's a ton of options in Ubuntu. Enjoyed my first week with the system glitsj16. | 23:08 |
| kalekip1_ | My terminal was previously semi-transparent, but not anymore. I can't remember what I did to make it transparent. | 23:08 |
| amel | TJ: okone last question.. how will i use pastbinit on TTy1 | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | donvito: Korny: Just stopping sshd doesn't close existing connections. | 23:09 |
| glitsj16 | kingfisher64: :) true, options might make it confusing at first, but that'll get better every day as you get to know your system | 23:09 |
| TJ- | amel: just as I showed you earlier, no different. It'll report the pastebin URL, which you can type into the IRC session. Remember, you can start the IRC client on TTY2 or TTY3 etc. | 23:09 |
| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: gnome-terminal? | 23:09 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: Yes, the transparency :/ | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | donvito: Why are you trying to log off all users (except yourself?) that are logged in via ssh? | 23:10 |
| donvito | my username was logged 3 times | 23:10 |
| kingfisher64 | only other thing I've got to get is a power management app with a GUI (if possible). any recommendations? | 23:10 |
| donvito | so i killed 2 sessions of me | 23:10 |
| donvito | i found solution | 23:10 |
| donvito | Jordan_U i can do whatever i like in my server, if u know the answer just asnwer it | 23:11 |
| amel | TJ: ok ill try my best | 23:11 |
| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: right-click should give you 'profiles' > profile preferences .. then it's the background tab iirc | 23:11 |
| TJ- | rustuptwist: Is it installing now? | 23:11 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: Yes, but I don't see that tab. :/ | 23:11 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: I looked everywhere on the internet, I can't seem to find it. | 23:12 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: I have every tab except that one -.- | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | donvito: The answer depends on your end goal. See http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal | 23:12 |
| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: odd, did you try purging the settings and start afresh yet? | 23:12 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: A fresh version? | 23:13 |
| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: not of the app itself, but its settings | 23:13 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: No, where can I do that? | 23:13 |
| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: hang on, i'm on a different terminal emulator so i need to check where it saves its prefs | 23:14 |

| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: nice find .. i'd try xfce4-terminal and forget about the gnome one, in usage you won't see any difference | 23:41 |
| kalekip1_ | Why isn't this just a standard feature? | 23:42 |
| kalekip1_ | Everybody likes a transparent terminal, right? | 23:42 |

| bprompt | kalekip1_: many terminal apps out there for you to do just that, I have konsole and it allows that, it's just not my terminal app, I use mrxvt, though it allows that too, I like black :P | 23:43 |

| UltimateNate | Hey how do i login into mysql database? Do i need to install something for SQL Database? | 23:48 |
| phil-ns | mysql client | 23:48 |
| phil-ns | then its mysql -h server -u username -p password | 23:49 |
| UltimateNate | do i need the server aswell? | 23:49 |
| phil-ns | heh | 23:50 |
| phil-ns | well, the point of using a database client would be to pull or manipulate some data. | 23:50 |
| phil-ns | eirgo, you'll need a database of data to play with, if you don't have a public one (or part of a hosting package you own) then yeah, you'll need to install the server part too. | 23:51 |
| phil-ns | if the idea is to learn sql, then install the whole mysql package | 23:51 |
| === GTB3NW is now known as GTB3NW_AWAY | ||
| phil-ns | make sure to install mysql-admin, its a pretty decent front end for setting up fields/tables/databases | 23:52 |
| UltimateNate | Well im trying to set up Unrealircd | 23:52 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: Can't I just downgrade the gnome-terminal? Christian Metz removed it in Ubuntu 13.10, because he thinks that it's useless. -.- | 23:52 |
| stuppy | Hello. In the process of upgrading my 'test' partition from 13.04 to 13.10 before testing another change, and durring the large, long download the screen locked and now it's stuck. Will not respond to offer password prompt. I tried A | 23:54 |

| glitsj16 | kalekip1_: you can try, i don't know the actual dependencies of gnome-terminal .. if you can you'd need to put the package on 'hold' to keep it from upgrading, you can do that with sudo apt-mark hold <package> | 23:58 |
| daftykins | stuppy: can't SSH in? | 23:58 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: I'll just download xfce4-terminal. I'm done with this. | 23:58 |
| kalekip1_ | glitsj16: Do you know the command? :P | 23:58 |
| kalekip1_ | I can't find the terminal. I only find the whole thing. | 23:59 |
| stuppy | I can get in with ctl+alt+F1. I assume ssh but seems local would be as gopd. | 23:59 |
| stuppy | good | 23:59 |
