adam___Hi when i run sudo apt-get update  I get a huge list of failed to fetch00:02
adam___anybody00:03
adam___W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/InRelease00:07
minimecadam___: First guess... You internet connection was lost. If you were able to do the Ubuntu installation with that sources, there is no reason that they are all broken. 2nd guess. The server of you sources is not reachable.00:08
adam___my computer gets stuck on the ubuntu loading screen while trying to boot00:13
minimecadam___: Have you tried to boot in recovery mode?00:17
adam___minimec:  I had my wifi switch off while running the updates00:18
adam___i am running sudo apt-get updates && sudo apt-get upgrades00:18
adam___hopfully that will fix it00:18
adam___ok both of those ran without any issue but now it boots to a black screen with a _ in the top corner00:23
adam___and i cannot get to crtl alt f100:23
adam___minimec:  ^^00:24
minimecadam___: Have you tried to boot in recovery mode?00:26
adam___how do i do that minimec00:26
minimecadam___: @ the boot screen 'other boot options'.00:26
adam___ok i am booting into recovery00:27
adam___now what minimec00:27
minimecadam___: check tho log files like /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log00:29
adam___i am at the recovery menu00:29
adam___what do i select minimec00:29
minimecadam___: drop to root shell00:29
adam___ok00:29
adam___now what6 do i run00:30
adam___minimec: ^00:30
minimecadam___: cat /var/log/kern.log or nano /var/log/kern.log00:32
minimecadam___: same with Xorg.0.log. check for errors at the end of these files00:32
adam___minimec:  no errors in either00:33
minimecadam___: You don't seem familliar with that kind of stuff. Why would you use a beta release and not an official ubuntu release? This is the channel of the ubuntu pre-release?00:34
adam___minimec:  what do i do00:34
adam___minimec:  please help me fix this i have to go in 5 minutes00:36
minimecadam___: Do you have 'pastebinit' installed? if yes -> cat /var/log/kern.log | pastebinit00:36
minimecadam___: I cannot promise you anything...00:36
adam___Failed to contact server00:38
minimecadam___: Ok. You don't have an internet connection. So I cannot  have a look @ the log file...00:38
adam___now what minimec00:38
adam___now i have to go00:40
adam_____Minimec i dont have internet on my computer can you please still help me00:44
minimecadam_____: Probably not. My hint is read the log files kern.log Xorg.0.log and system.log. If you find some stuff that seems 'not normal' @ the end of these files, search the net for some answers...00:47
adam_____ Minimec hold on i migt get internet00:48
adam_____Minimec i am in crtl alt f1 what do i run00:51
minimecadam_____: I told you before00:51

SuperLagShould PPA comments revert back to normal from "disabled on upgrade to trusty", after the upgrade is complete?12:19
ikoniaI don't believe so12:20
k1lno12:20
ikoniaas there may not be PPA's for the new release12:20
k1lthey stay disabled until you activate them again12:20
ikoniaalso to be honest, I don't think it should allow you to upgrade with any ppa software installed due to the risk of conflict/bricking your machine12:20
k1land keep in mind, that most PPAs dont support the +1 release in early stages12:21
ikoniaI'm surprised it go through an upgrade to be honest12:22
k1lwell, it disables the PPAs (but doesnt remove the packages), then upgrades12:22
ikoniathats why I'm surprised it made it through12:22
ikoniaas the dependencies are "normally" screwed12:22
ikoniaI guess it depends on the specific PPA, there are a handful of good ones12:23
k1lif the PPA is set up right, the newer ubuntu will update the ppa-package anyway12:23
ikoniaso few are though, sadly, hence my surprise12:24
SuperLagikonia: I had no issues here. It disabled some stuff, like my Chrome entries, and VLC.12:31
ikoniadisabling it doesn't remove the packages though, so even then I'm surprised it gets through it,12:31
SuperLagikonia: I was actually pleasantly surprised at how smooth the upgrade went.12:32
SuperLagI had to patch one file to get VMware Workstation modules to work.12:32
SuperLagReinstall a couple perl modules and python packages.12:32
ikoniaso not really smooth then12:33
ikonialoads of external things failing12:33
SuperLagno loads12:33
SuperLagI use a CLI client for App.net.12:33
SuperLagIt requires a couple add-on modules for certain extra functionality. They're not part of the normal Perl distribution.12:34
ikoniaright, thats why I said "external"12:34
SuperLagand I have a script that uses psutil to kill all the Chrome processes12:34
SuperLaghad to reinstall psutil12:35
ikoniaso doesn't sound great12:35
ikonialots of "re-install" things12:35
SuperLag3 things?12:35
SuperLagthat's what you call "lots"?12:35
ikoniaperl and python packages and a kernel module and psutil is not 3 things12:36
ikoniathats 4 types of things, but I'm guessing it was more than 1 module per "thing"12:36
SuperLagI knew the kernel module would not work, going in.12:36
ikoniayes, that's not really a surprise12:36
SuperLagall the patch does is change the kernel reference to 3.1312:36
SuperLagikonia: So, are you saying... for a successful upgrade, you expect 100% of every last piece to work flawlessly?12:38
SuperLagis that your expectation?12:38
ikoniayeah, if it's going to be targeted at everyone12:38
SuperLagthat makes me laugh12:38
ikoniait makes me laugh also12:38
SuperLagI've *NEVER* had a major version upgrade on Ubuntu go well.12:39
SuperLagNot until this one.12:39
ikoniaso that's not a good thing either12:39
ikoniaa big part of this is how external vendors do not deal with ubuntu's release schedule12:39
SuperLagIt was bad enough, early on, that I eventually opted to keep things like /home and /opt on separate partitions, and do a clean install.12:40
SuperLagI still keep /home and /opt and /usr/local separate... but this time around... it worked really well12:40
SuperLagI just did do-release-upgrade -d, and let it go.12:41

douglmorning BluesKaj12:48
BluesKajmorning dougl12:49
douglBeta 2... just like christmas in april!!!12:50
BluesKajwe'll see12:50
douglwhat do you use for e-mail client?12:50
monkeyjuicethunderbird here12:51
douglobviously happy?12:52
monkeyjuicei am12:52
douglthat does news groups and multiple mail servers?12:53
monkeyjuicewow quassel just crashed12:53
douglI have tried it but not for years... and k mail really let me down on 12.10 (probably user error) but I broke it pretty easy12:54
BluesKajdougl, kmail let a lot of ppl down, it's inherently buggy with some hw it seems12:56
monkeyjuicehmmm now 14.04 is crashing around me right now12:56
douglBluesKaj, always thot it was me... what do you use for mail?12:58
BluesKajguess I should try it on this intel laptop, but I'm adverse to akonadi and nepomuk for home users12:58
BluesKajthunderbird12:58
monkeyjuicetrying a reboot brb12:58
douglBluesKaj, I better roll up my sleeves and put up with the learning curve and use thunderbird13:00
BluesKajt-bird is quite user friendly13:00
SuperLagit's also the most featureful, at this point13:01
SuperLagI wish MS would make Exchange support more Linux-friendly.13:02
SuperLagthey don't stand to lose *anything* by doing so13:02
SuperLagthat's a different discussion entirely, though... sorry.13:02
douglAnyone have a sec... installed 14.04, (LAMP) server and then wordpress and when ever I tune to the ip is says the data file is missing and I look for it and it is there...13:47
ikoniawhat data file13:50
ikoniawordpress is not a "data file" it's a collection of php scripts talking to a mysql database13:50
k1llook at the data permissions13:50
k1land is lamp the ubuntu packages or is it a 3rd party install thing13:51
douglikonia, sorry missed your reply - still got a few...14:11
ikoniastill got a few what ?14:12
* dougl has to put his 15 year old dog down today - trying to stay busy14:12
douglikonia for that data file... sec I will fire that machine up14:13
ikoniathere is no one data file14:13
ikoniawordpress is made up of multiple files and a database14:13
ikoniaand nothing should access a database data file directly14:13
douglright... so I followed the howto that I lost for 12.10 and now I need a LTS server (want - lol) to host what I already have...14:15
ikoniathat wasn't my question14:16
ikoniawhat data file are you referencing14:16
dougllol - k sec thanks :)14:16
ikonia???14:16
douglno I mean I am looking14:16
k1lif you want a LTS server dont run 14.04 right now14:17
k1ltake 12.04, that is lts14:17
dougl12.04 would not install on thae hardware for some reason had to settle foe 12.10... I thought the beta would turn into lts no?14:18
k1lthe 12.04.4 that you get to download now (the 4th "service pack") will have a newer kernel. and yes a 14.04 beta will become a 14.04 lts, but until that there is a lot that can make trouble14:21
douglk1l, not migrating to 14.04 just preparing - dual boots with 14.04 on server and 13.10 on notebook... I am just so excited I cannot hold myself back!14:24
miraiEplease help me about this http://prntscr.com/304sft I installed in kubuntu14:25
k1lthere is a reason why this is labled not-final. and the lts-to-lts update process will start at 14.04.1. just odnt tell us we didnt warn you14:25
archer43543quick question: has anyone managed to install dropbox on 14.04? cant seem to make it work14:26
k1larcher43543: dropbox updated itself some days ago and is working fine14:27
archer43543hmm is that so? ive installed from every possible location (deb, source, software center) and I can't get it to work14:28
ikoniasomeone else was complaining in #ubuntu that the dropbox package was not prompting for username/password14:33
archer45859yes this is my problem14:33
philinuxAnyone noticed Firefox is not remembering it's screen size after a resize14:39
dougielikonia, you still here... The requested URL /wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server.14:42
k1ldougiel: look at the data permissions of that files14:43
PiciAnd if apache is actually setup to serve them14:44
douglk1l www-data:www-data14:45
ikoniais it in the correct document root14:48
ikoniaplease tell me you 've not copied your 12.10 config file into 14.04 as apache 2.2 and 2.4 have different vhost configs14:48
douglikonia, not yet - lol but I am sure I ahve done something else just as dumb14:50
douglyeah I don't know what the issue could be... chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www...14:56
ikoniastop blindly doing things14:57
ikoniathink it through14:57
* dougl sees good advice14:58
PiciLook at your apache2 configs and log files, is it looking in the right place for files?14:58
douglnever looked for logs before... I will be googling - I will do some more research and look for some intelligent questions15:06
ikoniayou don't need to google15:06
dougl?15:06
ikonialook at the document root setting for your virtual host, look at the access_log and error_log of your webserver and look at what happens when you try to hit the page15:06
ikoniaput a test index.html in the document root to prove it's up and serving then deal with wordpress15:07
ikoniaand normally install.php is not in wp-admin directory, it's normally in the root15:07
douglikonia, I tested appache install and got the debian info page and replaced it with my resume15:13
ikoniaok, so work forward from there15:13

mbruzekHello, I have tried searching for solution to my problem but unable to find it.  Please give me a link if the problem has already been discussed or reported.18:03
mbruzekI am using trusty and for the past 2 days apt-get upgrade hangs right after the grub setup for memtest86+18:03
k1lmbruzek: apt-get update and memtest?18:04
mbruzekk1l, correct, but I am not sure if memtest86+ is the cause, or something AFTER that is causing a problem.18:05
mbruzekmy apt-get upgrade is hung and never completes.18:05
k1lrun a apt-get update first18:05
mbruzekYes I do that before upgrade18:05
mbruzekI have the latest memtest18:05
mbruzekI mostly run:  sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade18:06
k1lmbruzek: you are mixing things18:06
mbruzekk1l, sorry.  I do update each time before running upgrade18:06
k1lplease put all that into a pasteservice18:07

mbruzekk1l, sorry it took so long I use a terminal byobu that does not scroll back naturally18:14
mbruzekIn this particular case I did a "dist-upgrade" but I can confirm that "upgrade" works or hangs the same18:14
k1lhow long did you wait there?18:15
mbruzekIt has been running at least 2 hours18:16
mbruzekI have had similar problems today and yesterday, so I have tried to kill the process, and then apt-get complains that it has been disrupted and I run sudo dpkg --configure -a18:17
k1lmake sure your partitions are not full18:18
mbruzekgood idea!   /dev/sda1       103G   23G   75G  24% /18:18
mbruzekThat seems OK.18:18
k1lrun a apt-get install -f18:19
mbruzekShould I kill the current apt-get process?18:19
k1lyes18:19
mbruzek$ sudo apt-get install -f18:21
mbruzekE: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)18:21
mbruzekE: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?18:21
mbruzekRemove the lock?18:21
k1lmake sure no other process is running with the packages system18:21
mbruzekk1l, I don't believe there are18:25
mbruzekhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7080694/18:25
mbruzekafter removing lock18:26
mbruzek$ sudo apt-get install -f18:26
mbruzekE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.18:26
mbruzekGetting stuck at the same place18:27
mbruzekhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7080708/18:27
k1lmaybe that is the problem? Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.18:29
k1lsry i dont know where the problem is in that but i have to be afk now for some time, so see if some others in here can answer18:30
TenLeftFingersI'm running 14.04 in virtualbox and since the last reboot I can't connect to the network. The whole thing is strange because I came in and the laptop was both _hot_ and _off_. So I don't know is it an update that killed it or something else.18:40
ccmolik_hey so i just got done with an install of 14.04-gnome, and Xorg appears to be segfaulting in my parallels VM20:30
ccmolik_i also noticed on the livecd that whenever it tries to kick me back to GDM that fails20:31
ccmolik_in that i get a nice blank screen20:31
ccmolik_so I tried Xorg -configure to spit out a working xorg.conf, and no luck (once installed); I get a segfault20:31
ccmolik_not sure if it's an xorg drivers issue, or what20:32
ccmolik_possibly a gdm bug20:32
spaesdoes anyone know whether gnome classic can easily be installed from the default 14.04 desktop distribution, or whether you will need to download a separate distro (UbuntuGnome) ? in 12.04 there were a few packages you could install to easily switch to gnome classic20:34
Beldarspaes, I believe for the classic alone it bis the gnome-panel20:36
Beldaris*20:36
Beldarspaes, No separate distros, all these desktops are in the ubuntu repos.20:36
spaesBeldar: "flavor" then? my point is that i would like to avoid xubuntu/kubuntu/gubuntu.20:38
Beldarspaes, gubuntu?20:38
spaesi made that up20:38
Beldarspaes, Gnome 3 underlies most of the desktops, however you could do a net install after release and have wider choice by installing just the desktop you want.20:39
spaesoh i see what you are getting at20:41
spaesBeldar: if i understand you correctly then, if Ubuntu Gnome can provide gnome classic based on the standard ubuntu repositories, then I should be able to install gnome-panel/etc from any desktop configuration, even the standard one that normally only has unity right?20:42
Beldarspaes, Yeah, you have git iut.20:43
Beldarit*20:43
spaesok that's good news20:44
BeldarThe gnome shell release, the gnome 3 desktop shell, should have the classic on board I believe.20:44
Beldaryou can get a release with just the gnome 3 desktop, I think you are referring to that already.20:45
ccmolik_google screwed me and i thought ubuntu-gnome was the default 13.04 beta iso heh20:46
ccmolik_literacy is hard20:46
BeldarI use the shell  myself, a bit tweaked however.20:46
spaesi wouldn't mind converting to unity or gnome3, i've given both a shot a few times, but i just can't seem to get the same level of productivity out of them20:47
ccmolik_gnome3 is nice but i hate how minimizing hides the app to the activities menu20:48
spaesBeldar: could you give an example or two of how you tweak it?20:48
ccmolik_at least 14's stock gnome3 shows the logout menu by default20:48
* ccmolik_ glares at fedora 19's direction20:48
Beldarspaes, There are a number of extensions there is a web site. I use the cairo dock and synapse, not the left side bar brought up from the left top corner. Small tweaks really.20:49
spaesok just looked up cairo and synapse20:53
spaesthat seems like a nice combo and it looks really clean20:54
spaesi just can't wrap my head around multi-tasking scenarios where i have 3 terminals open and 2 spreadsheets and a text editor20:55
Beldarspaes, cairo adds another desktop is all, only use it in the shell, has lots of tweak options for the panel.20:55
BeldarI only*20:55
douglwhy does my apache in ubuntu 14.04 only work when my wordpress data is in /var/www/html?21:16

ccmolik_it's an httpd.conf setting21:18

* ccmolik_ takes off his red hat21:18
ccmolik_so yeah, gdm doesn't want to start on my freshly-installed box. anything I can take a look at to try to convince it otherwise?21:19
ccmolik_it's a VM on parallels desktop21:20
ccmolik_if I try Xorg -configure, I get a backgrace, /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 s21:21
