| tharkun | ruth: When doing fresh install check the hashes of the burned image. Sometimes sh... happens | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| one | tharkun: Is it better to just use debian? | 00:02 |
| ruth | Well, I don't think it was the hash. I put Antix on it before. It installed on two other computers well, but this one did the same thing with that message I mentioned above, so I decided to try Ubuntu 12.04. This same Ubuntu alternate download worked before for me. | 00:02 |
| ruth | But, yes, I will try that boot repair and find the url for you guys and get back to you. K? | 00:02 |
| Beldar | ruth, How much memory is on that computer? | 00:03 |
| ruth | 1.9 G almost 2 | 00:04 |
| Beldar | ruth, Cool, you mentioned older computer, just wondering. ;) | 00:04 |
| Wizar|2 | i removed nvidia gpu from pc, how do i reconfigure ubuntu to use integrated gpu? | 00:05 |
| ruth | I can go into bios and try a set up something right, and it comes on, but if I turn the computer off and then turn it back on, it gets that message. | 00:05 |
| tharkun | rww: Sorry didn't realize the ban evasion. | 00:05 |
| rww | tharkun: no problem, you replied fine | 00:06 |
| naxil_ | mmm i think the problem is kernel regression | 00:07 |
| ruth | So, for boot repair, I just stick the CD in and do what? | 00:08 |
| rww | i spel gud | 00:08 |
| Beldar | ruth, The link I gave you tells you how to use the app. | 00:09 |

| awesomess3 | actually, nevermind. | 00:17 |
| kr1pter | hola | 00:17 |
| naryfa | battlestar_: I think this just means it's not in the repository, and you have to download it manually. | 00:17 |
| naryfa | battlestar_: that particular version | 00:18 |
| rww | hrm, that package is in the repository. | 00:18 |
| hbr | I'm on 12.04.3 and need to install libgtk2.0-dev, but that requires that I remove libxrandr-dev-lts-raring. | 00:18 |
| hbr | A forum post said that'd break my system, though. | 00:18 |
| bray90820 | if i do "fg job_number" should it bring the bg process to the fg | 00:18 |
| hbr | Anybody tried removing that package before? | 00:19 |
| awesomess3 | hbr, you could always see what inside of it? `dpkg -L libxrandr-dev-lts-raring` | 00:20 |
| battlestar_ | naryfa, I'm not sure that's the issue (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libarpack2), but I'll give it a try in a sec... | 00:20 |
| battlestar_ | Thanks | 00:20 |
| hbr | awesomess3, thanks, I'll try that. | 00:20 |
| naryfa | battlestar_: that's what I used to do with these types of problems | 00:20 |
| boccobrock | quit | 00:22 |
| battlestar_ | naryfa, To follow up, there was a dependancy of a dependancy that needed to be downgraded (1.5 to 1.3). I'm not sure if I just broke something else or not, but Octave is installing now. Thanks for the help. | 00:23 |
| ruth | O.K., Beldar, this is the url I got from the repair disk http://paste.ubuntu.com/7111335/ I hope this is what you want. | 00:24 |
| ruth | I have to go out for a moment. I'll be right back. | 00:24 |
| Beldar | ruth, Yeah script looks good, you ran the repair right it looks like? | 00:25 |
| naryfa | battlestar_: it usually trickles down like that, I've had these dependency problems too. It doesn't always break things, even though it says so. I do, however, keep history to revert things in case of trouble. | 00:26 |

| ruth | Don't know much about this stuff, sorry. | 00:29 |
| Beldar | ruth, Try a reboot and see if it boots now. | 00:29 |
| ruth | o.k. | 00:29 |
| battlestar_ | naryfa, I'm sure when I reboot a month from now I'll need that. ;-) Thanks again. | 00:29 |
| hbr | awesomess3, I'm uncertain but I *think* I can get away with removing libxrandr-dev-lts-raring and installing libxrandr-dev in its place. Thanks. | 00:31 |
| naryfa | battlestar_: my pleasure | 00:31 |
| awesomess3 | hbr, remember to keep your fingers crossed. | 00:32 |
| hbr | awesomess3, will do! I'm always a little nervous about this kind of thing. | 00:33 |

| rww | wise___: no, that's correct | 01:08 |
| wise___ | rww, why isn't it x86? | 01:08 |
| rww | wise___: because N2920 is 64-bit | 01:08 |
| rww | wise___: AMD created the specific architecture used by current consumer 64-bit processors, hence amd64 | 01:09 |

| wise___ | L_e_v_i, what have you tried? | 02:32 |
| thoonai | naryfa: yes it is executable, I get as output the modified rc.local ... | 02:32 |
| naryfa | thoonai: show me | 02:32 |
| naryfa | thoonai: run the script file, not the line by itself | 02:32 |
| L_e_v_i | Just about everything. I think my problem is slightly different than yours, I can boot in, but I'm unable to login as it's not accepting my keyboard inputs. | 02:33 |
| thoonai | naryfa: ok I did it and I just emptied my rc.local and didn't got any terminal output? wtf? | 02:33 |
| naryfa | thoonai: that means it worked | 02:34 |
| naryfa | thoonai: look for the "file" | 02:34 |
| thoonai | naryfa: its empty | 02:34 |
| wise___ | L_e_v_i, oh yeah, I have no display capabilities what so ever. If I select 'install ububtu' all I get is a chime, but a completely blank screen. | 02:35 |
| Roey | how do I exit 1 if /media/btrfs is not mounted? (i.e. if it is empty) | 02:35 |
| Roey | in shell? | 02:35 |
| naryfa | thoonai: scrutinize the command, is it exactly the same in both places? Is there an error in the script? Also, when the command runs, does it return your username@host, or does it give an empty line and just hangs? | 02:35 |
| Bashing-om | Arsanerit: The package manager takes care of the "path". Make sure the "backports" repository is enabled and terminal command -> sudo apt-get install hedgewars <- will download and install the game. | 02:36 |
| cvm | i have 500gb hard drive.. when i installed windows it can only read 450GB.. i tried gparted ang thesame thing 450GB.. is that normal? | 02:36 |
| thoonai | naryfa: It just finishes as it should everythin works as it should, just this one command fails and does not work | 02:38 |
| hwrd | que cambias? | 02:38 |
| Arsanerit | Bashing-om: IF the backports repository is not enabled, will the error be as I described? I'm not doing the command myself but helping someone who is somewhere else, so it's a little bit tricky. | 02:38 |
| naryfa | thoonai: you run it like this? sudo scriptname.sh | 02:38 |
| thoonai | cvm: hdds are sold in 1000bit-kilobytes. operation systems are calculating kilobytes with 1024bytes and so on | 02:38 |

| Guest47764 | #ubuntu.pl | 02:39 |
| naryfa | thoonai: what's param1? | 02:39 |
| thoonai | cvm: yes this is sadly normal and your filesystem also consumes space for organizing itself | 02:39 |
| Bashing-om | Arsanerit: Having never seen an invocation ( in all my experience) of a install such as this, I can not advise. If there were another way then one would not be using the package manager, There are alternate means to d/l&install direct from the mirror. | 02:39 |
| thoonai | naryfa: "107" | 02:39 |
| naryfa | thoonai: sudo ./script | 02:39 |
| naryfa | thoonai: no params | 02:39 |
| Arsanerit | Bashing-om: Okay. | 02:40 |
| naryfa | thoonai: these params have to be determined in your script in order to work | 02:40 |
| thoonai | naryfa: but I need thus param | 02:40 |
| naryfa | thoonai: but it is nowhere in your script | 02:40 |
| Bashing-om | cvm: Bear in mind, default for housekeeping use is 5% that is not reflected in disk usage. | 02:40 |
| Arsanerit | Bashing-om: We're trying the alternate ways now. | 02:40 |
| naryfa | thoonai: it has to be declared | 02:40 |
| naryfa | thoonai: what it would do | 02:40 |
| thoonai | naryfa: I can't just put my vpn install script online ^^ | 02:41 |
| Bashing-om | Arsanerit: Why try an alternate ? Is there a problem using the prescibed method ? | 02:41 |
| thoonai | naryfa: wait, i'll clean it ... | 02:41 |
| cvm | thanks thoonai.. i also thought about that.. but i tried parted magic and saw several files in my root directory some windows some linux.. i dont think some of those files should be there.. but i dont know how to remove them.. | 02:42 |
| Bashing-om | Arsanerit: prescibed/prescribed | 02:42 |
| Arsanerit | Bashing-om: Because I had already started the instructions with her | 02:42 |
| Arsanerit | Bashing-om: thanks for the help though | 02:42 |
| Arsanerit | :) | 02:42 |
| Bashing-om | Arsanerit: In that case one does a "wget" - full complete path, and a "dpkg -i" to install. | 02:43 |

| riccardo_ | kramnik: on the same interface? | 02:51 |
| naryfa | thoonai: I don't understand the whole script, I'm not that good, but if that part works as a single command, then logically the culprit is somewhere before that line, in the script I mean. | 02:51 |
| kramnik | riccardo: what do you mean by that? | 02:52 |
| thoonai | kramnik: you have to be allowed to use the second IP first. If your provider grants you the second IP, you can create an entry in /etc/network/interfaces | 02:52 |

| Unsound | Thank you. I am following a guide to install a client. I am using a cmake command on a file unsuccessfully. The error says It can't find the file. | 03:15 |
| Unsound | cmake ccp-ethereum.tar.bz2 is the File name | 03:16 |

| rww | hrm | 03:17 |
| rww | try running it inside a terminal, see if there's useful output? | 03:18 |
| rypervenche | Unsound: That file is a compressed tarball. You probably need to extract the files, then cd into the directory and then run the command(s) | 03:18 |
| Unsound | Thank you | 03:18 |
| rypervenche | Unsound: tar -xjvf ccp-ethereum.tar.bz2 (to extract it) | 03:18 |
| vbgunz | rww: yeah, it keeps creating dumps, I can see this but I'm not really getting any more hints as to why or what's causing it. this is the only thing that sounds fishy " Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "oxygen-gtk"" I'm looking it up now | 03:19 |
| rypervenche | Unsound: then probably "cd ccp-ethereum", then maybe try it again. THere may be a better way to install what you're trying to install though. | 03:19 |
| vbgunz | let me restart, I'm thinking maybe there is something to it, brb | 03:20 |
| Unsound | This is the guide I am using. https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/wiki/Building-on-Ubuntu-%28Proof-of-Concept%29 I don't think there is an easier way. It is a Proof of Concept Client. I am a Java Windows Dev with little Linux Experiance | 03:22 |

| ldlework | How can I emulate a reboot for only the networking of my machine that goes beyond 'sudo service networking restart' When I come home from work, I can't resolve any DNS until I reboot my laptop. | 03:47 |
| siberiannerd | ldlework, any ideas about the root of the problem? | 03:48 |
| ldlework | siberiannerd: nope. It's crazy. Sometimes I will be able to dig dns servers directly, but no applications like the browser or otherwise will resolve dns. | 03:49 |
| ldlework | after a reboot, it works fine | 03:49 |
| fun | when I try to use PIL, the python imaging library, and I try to show() an image in the terminal, nothing comes up | 03:49 |
| siberiannerd | ldlework, resolv.conf consistency always remains in place? | 03:49 |
| ldlework | and it doesn't happen when I go from home, to work | 03:49 |
| fun | Supposedly it is supposed to show the image in the default image viewer, but that is not working | 03:49 |
| fun | anyone have any ideas what I can do? | 03:50 |
| ldlework | siberiannerd: Generally, comcast's router will set my resolv.conf to their servers but when this behavior started happening, and I saw that I could dig on google's servers, I set resolv.conf to use public google dns and setattr -r the file so god himself could not change it | 03:50 |
| ldlework | this ... did not resolve my issue | 03:51 |
| ldlework | other data is that, as soon as I connect to my home network, I can resolve dns for a while, then suddenly it stops. | 03:51 |
| ldlework | restarting the networking server does jack, changing resolv.conf does jack | 03:51 |
| ldlework | s/server/service | 03:51 |
| ldlework | hence my thinking, 'what does the networking of ubuntu do on restart, and how can I emulate that' | 03:52 |
| ldlework | I have even tried toggling rflock just because why not | 03:52 |
| usr13 | ldlework: I'm late to the conversation, but if it is a DNS issue, can't you just set a static nameserver for your home network, (in the network-manager). | 03:52 |
| siberiannerd | ldlework, so resolv.conf still gets changed, right? network-manager fan? | 03:53 |
| ldlework | usr13: I don't think I'm using network-manager | 03:53 |
| ldlework | siberiannerd: no nothing can change resolv.con | 03:53 |
| ldlework | I used setattr on it | 03:53 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Oh? What are you using? | 03:53 |
| ldlework | I think wicd | 03:53 |
| usr13 | ldlework: So do it in wicd | 03:53 |
| ldlework | yeah changing it through wicd-client doesn't seem to do anything | 03:54 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Ok that's strange. | 03:54 |
| siberiannerd | ldlework, network hardware related problems on your side? dhcp session expiry? | 03:54 |
| ldlework | maybe restarting 'wicd-daemon' ... | 03:54 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Must be something wrong with wicd | 03:54 |
| siberiannerd | nothing strange in logs? | 03:54 |
| ldlework | actually, I just realized that all the standard troubleshooting I've been doing has probably been for network manager | 03:55 |
| siberiannerd | usr13, wicd works above basic set of tools, nothing more, unlike nm | 03:55 |
| ldlework | like restarting the 'networking' service and so on | 03:55 |
| usr13 | siberiannerd: What? | 03:55 |
| siberiannerd | nvm | 03:55 |
| usr13 | siberiannerd: Sorry, I don't think I understood what you were trying to say, but nvm... | 03:55 |
| ldlework | next time it happens I will killinate 'wicd-daemon' and check wicd's logs | 03:55 |
| ldlework | thanks guys | 03:56 |
| siberiannerd | ldlework, yeah would be great to bring all the referring logs to community alongside this bizarre question | 03:56 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Yea, I'm pretty sure there is a "Static DNS" option in wicd | 03:58 |
| ldlework | there is, pretty sure I set it for this network | 03:58 |
| siberiannerd | he said he used to set up to google ones | 03:58 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Well, you can set them all to use the same one if you want. | 03:58 |
| ldlework | yeah still set to google ones | 03:59 |
| ldlework | so maybe restarting the daemon will work | 03:59 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Yea, ok. | 03:59 |
| ldlework | I'll try it tomorrow thanks! | 03:59 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Probably have to restart the network as well. | 03:59 |
| === neo is now known as Guest59283 | ||
| ldlework | What does that mean | 04:00 |
| usr13 | ldlework: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start | 04:00 |
| ldlework | doesn't that restart 'network-manager' ? | 04:00 |
| ldlework | or is that really the networking "sub-system" for ubuntu | 04:01 |
| ldlework | I've wondered | 04:01 |
| usr13 | ldlework: No, it restarts the network | 04:01 |
| ldlework | I kinda wish there was a node-graph of ubuntu in the way that they have that image for the kernel | 04:01 |
| usr13 | ldlework: And you just said that you are not using network-manager, (you are using wicd instead, right?). | 04:02 |
| ldlework | yeah | 04:02 |
| ldlework | Ubuntu needs this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Linux_kernel_map.png/800px-Linux_kernel_map.png | 04:02 |
| ldlework | but for the main components of the OS | 04:03 |
| ldlework | desktop userland, whatever | 04:03 |
| usr13 | ldlework: sudo service networking restart && service wicd restart #Don't know that you have to do both but wouldn't hurt. | 04:03 |
| ldlework | hope it works | 04:03 |
| usr13 | ldlework: dono why it wouldn't | 04:04 |
| siberiannerd | in order to fix it the root of the problem should be discovered | 04:04 |
| ldlework | usr13: dono why I have to do it in the first place | 04:04 |
| usr13 | ldlework: I don't either, but suspect that the router is not giving out complete IP information. | 04:05 |
| ldlework | I just close my laptop at work, and at some point when I get home, I open it up, it wakes up, I'll connect to the wifi, and then 45 minutes later all DNS resolution will fail. | 04:05 |
| siberiannerd | restarting services via cron is not a solution and never was in my subjective opinion | 04:05 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Check your router's configurations | 04:05 |
| ldlework | I will be able to dig DNS, but applications wont connect to anything | 04:05 |
| ldlework | usr13: its a Comcast thing | 04:05 |
| usr13 | ldlework: So it's a Comcast thing. | 04:05 |
| ldlework | usr13: why does it do this even with resolv.conf setattr'd to not change (it doesn't) | 04:06 |
| usr13 | ldlework: (Don't know what you mean by that but...) "its a Comcast thing" | 04:06 |
| ldlework | ohhh | 04:06 |
| ldlework | wait what | 04:06 |
| usr13 | ldlework: I don't know. | 04:06 |
| ldlework | lol | 04:06 |
| siberiannerd | bring the logs, man | 04:07 |
| ldlework | anyway I will be happy if the workaround works, and I'll definitely check the wicd logs | 04:07 |
| usr13 | ldlework: Yep, should just be /var/log/wicd/wicd.log or something like that. | 04:08 |

| nineforty | hi, i recently bought a little vps with ubutnu 12.04 to try and get znc on there but im having a little trouble | 04:27 |
| nineforty | if i try to build from source, starting with "sudo apt-get install build-essential" i get: | 04:28 |
| nineforty | The following packages have unmet dependencies: build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev | 04:28 |
| Nothing_Much | What do I need to install when I want php to run on an Apache server? | 04:29 |
| siberiannerd | nineforty, it's on the repos, why building it from source? | 04:30 |

From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

| adam_____ | I bought my parents an Ubuntu touchscreen all in one Ubuntu system from system76. What laser printer would be best for them. My dad needs to print music notes a couple of times a week | 07:38 |
| adam_____ | ? | 07:42 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, laser printer? | 07:43 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, why not inkjet? | 07:43 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, I used to sell printers, so I can give a decent recomendation | 07:44 |
| em_em | Hi. I am trying to install python-yaml on 13.10. However it errors out with 404 for the file libyaml-0-2_0.1.4-2ubuntu0.13.10.1_amd64.deb. I looked at the archive and it only contains such file 13.10.2 suffix. What is the difference from 13.10.1 and 13.10.2? How to upgrade to 13.10.2? | 07:44 |
| ra123445555 | can anyone please give me an example of xml parsing in qt | 07:45 |
| arrith | em_em: you should use apt-get install python-yaml | 07:45 |
| akiva-mobile | em_em, You can also try synaptic; sometimes its helpful for strange packages like that, | 07:46 |
| mrmika | if i have lost my /boot can i take it from another install, another computer, and plop it where it needs to go? | 07:53 |
| arrith | mrmika: you might be able to reinstall the relevant packages | 07:53 |
| Hempathy | Hi all, I'm looking for help with 14.04 issues | 07:54 |
| mrmika | the whole /boot is gone. | 07:54 |
| arrith | Hempathy: that's in #ubuntu+1 | 07:54 |
| arrith | mrmika: are you booted into the system? do you know how /boot disappeared? | 07:54 |
| mrmika | i am. yes. it died when sudo rm -rf /boot was typed in.... | 07:54 |
| Hempathy | thanks arrith | 07:54 |
| arrith | mrmika: i see, well don't reboot | 07:55 |
| mrmika | arrith: actually, i'm dumb. sorry, that command was done. if i list my / i do not see /boot right beside /bin (if you know what i mean) | 07:56 |
| mrmika | can i steal /boot of my live usbkey? | 07:56 |
| mrmika | *off my usb key | 07:57 |
| arrith | mrmika: you kind of need to regenerate it, which i think is possible | 07:57 |
| arrith | mrmika: what does the output of this command give you uname -a | 07:57 |
| mrmika | Linux dell 3.11.0-12-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 07:57 |
| arrith | mrmika: ok do sudo mkdir /boot | 07:59 |
| mrmika | done | 07:59 |
| mrmika | across the room is an install of a version - up to date of linuxmint -- i wondering fi i can steal it's boot directory. | 08:00 |
| arrith | mrmika: then sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic | 08:00 |
| mrmika | err, copy it. | 08:00 |
| mrmika | ok, doing that... | 08:01 |
| arrith | then just reinstalling grub which i'm looking up the command for now | 08:01 |
| arrith | mrmika: is your install on /dev/sda ? | 08:02 |
| Tha-Fox | hi! I just found a legacy 8.04.4 server that has upstart 0.3.9-2 installed. what is the proper way to disable a couple of services? the documentation I found talks about upstart 0.6.x and more recent versions | 08:02 |
| mrmika | arrith: es, it is.... i got this: | 08:02 |
| mrmika | E: Unable to locate package linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic | 08:02 |
| mrmika | E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic' | 08:02 |
| arrith | Tha-Fox: removing the execute permission from the init script and doing sudo service <service> stop i think | 08:03 |
| Tasab | hi everyone , have been stuck (grub loader) tried to fix but problem : hd8 can not get C/H/S values , how can i resolve pls - thanx | 08:03 |
| arrith | mrmika: maybe try sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic | 08:04 |
| mrmika | arrith: i searched for that package in synaptic, it did find it... i'll 'mark for installation" | 08:04 |
| mrmika | err, re-installation | 08:05 |
| arrith | mrmika: good | 08:05 |
| mrmika | the headers and the image | 08:05 |
| arrith | mrmika: then after that is done sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 08:05 |
| mrmika | what about sudo update-grub ? or, you saying grub is gone / toast now eh? | 08:05 |
| mrmika | uuuugh E: linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 17 | 08:06 |
| arrith | mrmika: yeah, the grub that used to live in /boot is gone heh | 08:06 |
| mrmika | synaptic is saying that.... | 08:06 |
| arrith | mrmika: maybe try doing it from apt-get in a terminal then pasting the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:06 |
| mrmika | well, i do get a terminal output from synaptic... i'll paste as you said. | 08:07 |
| arrith | mrmika: sure | 08:07 |
| mrmika | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7112818/ | 08:08 |
| mrmika | line 13 doesn't look happy... | 08:08 |
| arrith | mrmika: ok so be careful when you do this, but right click that linux-image-3.11.0-18-generic in synaptic and click "complete removal" | 08:10 |
| arrith | mrmika: then right after, install it | 08:10 |
| arrith | mrmika: or well | 08:10 |
| mrmika | roger | 08:10 |
| arrith | try reinstalling from a terminal first | 08:10 |
| arrith | since eh | 08:10 |
| arrith | removing a kernel is dangerous | 08:10 |
| mrmika | if i have to reinstall completely i don't really care... | 08:10 |
| mrmika | might just be simpler | 08:11 |
| arrith | mrmika: well once we get that kernel to install and then run that grub line, should all be fixed | 08:11 |
| arrith | actually | 08:11 |
| arrith | looks like it installed almost | 08:11 |
| mrmika | no worry. i'll try that first thought | 08:11 |
| arrith | mrmika: yeah try to reinstall that kernel. | 08:12 |
| mrmika | i have a live usb key handy, wish i could just plop it back where it came from.... | 08:12 |
| arrith | mrmika: that might work, but you'd need to regen your initramfs anyway | 08:13 |
| arrith | uuids are different | 08:13 |
| mrmika | aye, that is hard for me... it's ok... i did the complete removal. right now it's reinstalling the img and the headers | 08:14 |
| arrith | mrmika: heh hope that works | 08:15 |
| arrith | mrmika: then do the grub install | 08:15 |
| arrith | i think that should work | 08:15 |
| raj__ | is it safe to remove a process folder from /var/run/ if I think it has got wrong permissions, will it be recreated by process as before ? | 08:15 |
| arrith | raj__: it's better to rename than to remove. then you can rename it back | 08:16 |
| raj__ | don't I lose any information by deleting /var/run/<process folder> when the process is not running?? | 08:16 |
| mrmika | arrith: i do have files now in /boot.... i'll do the grub cmd... | 08:16 |
| mrmika | looks ok... now just a reboot? | 08:17 |
| raj__ | arrith: after renaming if it works/ runs,, does that mean it has not lost any data ? | 08:17 |
| arrith | mrmika: yeah, that should do it i think | 08:17 |
| mrmika | and if not, a reinstall as i won't be back to cry. | 08:17 |
| arrith | raj__: it might still be open | 08:17 |
| arrith | mrmika: haha, well i'd like to hear if it works | 08:17 |
| mrmika | seems like it, but a lil above my expertise.... heh | 08:17 |
| mrmika | be back... might be 20 mins if it doesn't work.... | 08:17 |
| arrith | mrmika: i think it will | 08:18 |
| arrith | raj__: on nix systems, if files are open they don't get deleted | 08:18 |
| arrith | mrmika: this all assumes you don't have a separate /boot partition, but i that is an unlikely setup | 08:19 |
| mrmika | i wouldn't have. i just put all partitions under / when i installed. | 08:19 |
| mrmika | thank you sir. mister arrith i be back.... | 08:19 |
| arrith | hm, been a while | 08:24 |
| computa_mike | Are there any guides to reinstalling Ubuntu? I have a couple of installs of ubuntu on my machine, and I'd like to consolidate to have a single home partition, and maybe 2 installs - I have a large 1tb usb disk to back stuff up, is there a way I can image the HDD so I can mount it again should I need to copy files? | 08:32 |

| linocisco | I have copied all files from /var/cache/apt/archives my one ubuntu computer with internet and take it home to install another with no internet. how can I install? apt-get install dont look at that path. how can I tell ubuntu ? | 08:58 |

| llutz | linocisco: run the dpkg ... multiple times | 09:02 |
| linocisco | llutz, run the same command multiple times? | 09:02 |
| llutz | linocisco: but it might fail if both machines have different packagesets installed, so your archives/* aren't containg all stuff you need. | 09:03 |

| E911 | Is there any reason I should buy a GTX 7xx over GTX 6xx for gaming on Ubuntu? | 09:06 |
| ikonia | is there any reason you'd consider ubuntu as a "gaming platform" ? | 09:06 |
| linocisco | llutz, synaptic is not found. only ubuntu software center is found | 09:08 |
| E911 | ikonia: yeah, I my whole family uses Steam Ubuntu for gaming already lol | 09:08 |
| ikonia | so then why are you asking if you should get a better/worse card ? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | that's surly up to you knowing the game you play | 09:08 |
| E911 | ikonia: I'm asking if the driver benefits of the new series make it better than 6xx really | 09:09 |
| E911 | for example, nvidia has done a lot of driver updates these past few months | 09:09 |
| ikonia | if it's support of course it will | 09:09 |
| ikonia | it's a better hardware platform | 09:09 |
| ikonia | however if you see a difference will depend on your games/needs | 09:09 |
| ikonia | hence why only you can decide if you need one | 09:09 |
| llutz | linocisco: then get a list of missing dependencies and get those packages manually. good luck :) | 09:10 |
| linocisco | llutz, how to? | 09:10 |
| llutz | linocisco: dpkg tells you what's missing | 09:10 |
| llutz | linocisco: have you run it several times? have you read the errors and checked if those packages are really missing? | 09:11 |
| linocisco | llutz, dpkg status database is locked by another process | 09:13 |
| llutz | linocisco: another package-tool running? you copied the "lock" file with your debs? | 09:14 |
| linocisco | llutz, i dont know what lock file | 09:14 |
| llutz | linocisco: did you have another package tool like softwarecenter, aptitude running? | 09:17 |
| llutz | linocisco: exit, if so. then run "sudo dpkg -i /var...../*.deb" again. check the errors dpkg gives, it tells you what packages are missing, note them down | 09:18 |
| bobman_ | does someone have recommendations for a really simple dns forwarder? I just want every dns call to forward to the next dns server for a small fake router that I need for a test here | 09:19 |

| adam_____ | akiva-mobile: laser. Is cloud print OK these days? Couldn't get it to work last year on Ubuntu | 09:44 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, oh lol | 09:44 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, Why does he need laser, if hes only printing a few pages a week? | 09:45 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, Laser is for heavy duty. | 09:45 |
| adam_____ | Ink sucks to replace | 09:45 |
| adam_____ | Costs more after a year anyway | 09:45 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, not really. | 09:46 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, and inkjets are more weildly. | 09:46 |
| NeonThai | hi! nedd help. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. In network places i can see only my PC but other computers i can't see and access thair files | 09:46 |
| adam_____ | I've had my hp last Jet 1020 for a decade + it seems. Still on original toner | 09:47 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, Like, they are huge, heavy, and yah. It is true, that all printer companies make their money on ink | 09:47 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, fair point. That is unusual for anyone to have a printer that long :P | 09:48 |
| adam_____ | I'm more concerned about compatibility | 09:48 |
| akiva-mobile | adam_____, Well hp has the best drivers for linux | 09:48 |
| akiva-mobile | all in one printers tend to be plug and play with ubuntu | 09:48 |
| adam_____ | What about all the cloud print shenanigans? | 09:49 |
| akiva-mobile | Can't honestly tell you, but I do not see what you would need with it. | 09:49 |
| adam_____ | Ideally, even for myself, that should extend to printing from my Android tablet when I'm there | 09:49 |
| akiva-mobile | ah | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | akiva-mobile: I dunno, Brother are pretty decent | 09:49 |
| akiva-mobile | ActionParsnip, When I was working for HP, the linux drivers were just not there. This was a few years ago | 09:50 |
| akiva-mobile | Brother only officially supported models for heavy duty equipment | 09:50 |
| akiva-mobile | and it was for redhad "officially" | 09:50 |
| akiva-mobile | so :P | 09:50 |
| akiva-mobile | redhat* | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | akiva-mobile: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | akiva-mobile: take your pick :) | 09:51 |
| akiva-mobile | I guess things change ~ | 09:51 |
| akiva-mobile | in terms of quality, hp tended to be the best as well | 09:51 |
| akiva-mobile | Don't forget that they actually had their own unix operating system at one time, hp-ux | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | akiva-mobile: oh for sure but as with all technology, eventually what makes something stands out becomes the norm | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | akiva-mobile: hp ux had a release last year. They still have it ;) | 09:53 |
| akiva-mobile | ActionParsnip, By your recomendation, he would probably be safe with brother or hp. I'd advise to avoid kodak, lexmark, dell (repackaged lexmarks), and any othe rbrand. | 09:53 |
| akiva-mobile | ActionParsnip, What? You are kidding me ?! I thought they were deader than dead | 09:53 |
| akiva-mobile | maybe I mixed them up with open solaris... | 09:54 |
| akiva-mobile | geez, havn't said that name in awhile.. | 09:54 |
| akiva-mobile | Adam99, if you really want to lug a laserjet, go for it. I liked the all in one inkjets, because they were dirt cheap, easy to carry, looked nice, worked great with plug and play (scanner had no issues, unlike windows) | 09:55 |
| akiva-mobile | and I had to only print once in a blue moon | 09:56 |
| dawk | I stopped lightdm to disable GUI, ever since then I'm not able to login to my desktop | 09:56 |
| akiva-mobile | also, I could do photos, and colour from time to time. | 09:56 |

| ubuntugeek | Will that command destroy your computers as well? | 10:18 |
| fhf | If you pass / to it | 10:18 |
| Arafangion | ubuntugeek: That command can, yes, which was why I hestiated to give you the answer without ensuring you understood it. | 10:18 |

| Arafangion | ubuntugeek: What would that do? | 10:19 |

| ubuntugeek | What does iptables do? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntugeek: its a firewall solution | 10:20 |
| YamakasY_ | fhf: mhh, do you have an /etc/init.d/iptables ? | 10:20 |

| fhf | YamakasY_ : I use Iptables as a service package from launchpad | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !ufw | 10:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 10:21 |
| Arafangion | Apparently UFW is a frontend for iptables. | 10:21 |
| YamakasY_ | indeed | 10:21 |
| ubuntugeek | OK | 10:21 |
| YamakasY_ | same as apf | 10:21 |
| YamakasY_ | but ufw has some limitations | 10:21 |
| ubuntugeek | What does APF stand for? | 10:21 |

| ActionParsnip | YamakasY_: yes | 10:22 |
| YamakasY_ | ActionParsnip: which command ? | 10:22 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: iptables is built into the kernel, I don't think you can restart it as such. You can, however, flush all the rules, and do all kind of awesome stuff. | 10:22 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: Sadly, I never really learnt it. Too many things to do. Like cooking. | 10:22 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: on CentOS you can restart it | 10:22 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: haha | 10:23 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: CentOS probably has a service which happens to be called 'iptables'. | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | YamakasY_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91413/reloading-iptables | 10:23 |
| YamakasY_ | I don't have a filter, so that's why I ask | 10:24 |
| * YamakasY_ admins some quite nice clusters, but this is some nasty hired VM | 10:24 | |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: What's nasty about it? | 10:25 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: that I don't manage it and it's a prebuild image if you ask me | 10:25 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: I love prebuilt images. Not my responsibility. :) Submit a bug. :) | 10:26 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: doesn't matter... I want to fix this | 10:26 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: My condolences. | 10:26 |
| YamakasY_ | nothing in init.d no filter, firewall, iptables | 10:26 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: nobody died yet | 10:26 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: Anyway, the firewall is built into the kernel. If the system doesn't have any "firewall" installed, then you can load one up using a script. | 10:27 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: yes but some refress/flush command would be nice | 10:27 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: I would expect that most iptables scripts do little more than flush all the rules, then load them up again, although there's a few caveats in mind if you want to have your ssh session survive the reset... | 10:27 |
| YamakasY_ | I wonder what apf is doing | 10:29 |
| YamakasY_ | it should maintain the iptables in my opinion | 10:29 |
| === warhammer_ is now known as Guest99308 | ||
| YamakasY_ | fix your connection.... man I'm traveling also a lot | 10:31 |
| fhf | YamakasY_ you will love my IPAAS (iptables as a service) you can find it here ppa:rri/ipaas once installed you save your rules to /etc/ipaas and then sudo service ipaas {start,stop,restart} | 10:33 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: Sorry, I can't pay attention - hope you get to the bottom of it. | 10:33 |
| Arafangion | fhf: Does that preserve existing connections such as ssh? | 10:33 |
| Arafangion | fhf: As that's an important consideration. :) | 10:33 |
| YamakasY_ | fhf: does it work with fail2ban ? | 10:34 |
| fhf | YamakasY_ it just start rules saved to file on boot | 10:34 |
| fhf | So you have full freedom of iptables | 10:35 |
| YamakasY_ | fhf: I need something realtime | 10:35 |
| Arafangion | YamakasY_: Then learn iptables. | 10:36 |
| fhf | Arafangion if you save rules that allow SSH... | 10:36 |
| Arafangion | fhf: Ah, so it doesn't flush them, then block all by default, and then restore the rules? Good. | 10:37 |
| YamakasY_ | Arafangion: can't do and don't need to... I actually know a little but I use dedicated ones | 10:37 |
| fhf | Arafangion if you stop ipaas (sudo service ipaas stop) it flush all rules. And when you start (sudo service ipaas start) it loads rules from /etc/ipaas | 10:39 |
| Arafangion | fhf: Simple and elegant. | 10:40 |
| YamakasY_ | ah kewl working | 10:40 |
| Arafangion | fhf: Back in the day I used to use shorewall. | 10:40 |
| fhf | Arafangion I done research and found nothing interesting so I created my own package. lol | 10:41 |
| Arafangion | fhf: It doesn't seem that hard, once you know iptables. :) Never did learn iptables, though... The various frontends were Good Enough for me. | 10:42 |
| YamakasY_ | kewl it works... I banned myself :D | 10:42 |
| Humbedooh | YamakasY_: welcome to the club! | 10:44 |
| YamakasY_ | Humbedooh: hehe, no it's in devmode and I have access :) | 10:44 |
| YamakasY_ | Humbedooh: I kinda know what I'm doing since a while ;) | 10:44 |
| * YamakasY_ runs a 200-400 server cluster | 10:44 | |
| YamakasY_ | but apf has been some time | 10:44 |
| Humbedooh | pretty sure every sysadmin has locked themselves out of their system at some point ;) | 10:45 |
| Humbedooh | then comes the fun in trying to get back in - sure, you can do rescue mode, but that's cheating | 10:46 |
| Arafangion | Nah, that's not cheating. | 10:46 |
| YamakasY_ | Humbedooh: no this was needed, I was checking logs on ssh and wanted to see if that connection was terminated when I did a fail2ban | 10:46 |
| YamakasY_ | can do 2 things, wait 10 min or connect over another IP :D | 10:47 |
| YamakasY_ | or from another IP | 10:47 |
| YamakasY_ | 3 options | 10:47 |
| YamakasY_ | I know admins that don't have even 1 option :D | 10:47 |
| YamakasY_ | have 1 option... | 10:48 |

| TJ- | hounddog: I'd guess at kernel or initrd corruption/truncation ... check the free-space of the file-system containing /boot/ ... the message "loading initial ramdisk" somes from the bootloader (GRUB) after which the kernel sohuld take over. If it isn't getting that far, then the kernel image is broken in all likelyhood. | 12:19 |
| cateract | Rory, Or is it because of the fact that win8 does not allow dual boot. And some other changes are required to made to make this happen | 12:20 |
| hounddog | TJ-: let me check... not sure how yet | 12:20 |
| hounddog | am really a novice when it comes to this stuff | 12:21 |
| cateract | Rory, are you there? | 12:21 |
| === zz_dino82 is now known as dino82 | ||
| maerlyn | hello | 12:22 |
| hounddog | TJ-: sorry for beeing stupid but how can i check that... | 12:22 |
| TJ- | hounddog: Identify where the installed system's root file-system is, then mount it temporarily, then you can use "df" to see how much space is allocated/free, and also look at the mounted FS in its "boot/" directory to see the sizes of the kernels and initrd images, and compare them to known good images | 12:24 |
| hounddog | TJ-: ok... il try to find how to identify that | 12:25 |
| TJ- | hounddog: Did you try starting the system using the "Recovery" option? If so, did it fail in the same way? Failure would indicate that corruption of one of those images is the culprit | 12:25 |
| hounddog | TJ-: yes | 12:25 |
| hounddog | TJ-: tried and failed in the same way | 12:26 |
| cateract | ubottu, Actually I think the problem is with detection of USB. | 12:26 |
| hounddog | i tried with multiple kernels | 12:26 |
| TJ- | hounddog: Do you know if, when Ubuntu was installed, you put "/boot/" into a separate file-system? | 12:26 |
| hounddog | TJ-: i dont really remember anymore | 12:26 |
| cateract | ubottu, As the device is not even detecting while tried to boot for installation in boot menu, the forth installation process is stalled | 12:26 |
| Jenya-2 | hi :) | 12:27 |
| TJ- | hounddog: If multiple kernel's failed corruption is less likely. Each kernel version has its own kernel and initrd image pair of files, and when truncation due to out-of-space occurs, then usually only the latest kernel version is affected. | 12:27 |
| cateract | ubottu, So have i missed to make some settings before trying to boot from USB | 12:27 |
| ubottu | cateract: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:27 |
| Jenya-2 | I can't view other PC in local network from my Ubuntu. Samba installed. help | 12:28 |
| TJ- | hounddog: How many hard drives does the PC have? Is the installed system on /dev/sda? If so, you can start by discovering the partitions on that drive with "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" (or "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda" if its an EFI install) | 12:28 |
| hounddog | TJ-: i had about 8 kernels to start from so i tried multiple | 12:28 |
| hounddog | it is an efi install and 1 hard disk but multiple partitions windows/ubuntu dual boot | 12:29 |
| TJ- | hounddog: having more kernels tends to point towards an out-of-space corruption issue especially if "/boot/" has its own file-system | 12:29 |
| hounddog | TJ-: could be possible | 12:29 |
| === gnu is now known as Guest71856 | ||
| TJ- | hounddog: OK: "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda" *should* list the partitions. Tell us how many partitions that reports | 12:29 |
| hounddog | doesnt know bout gdisk | 12:30 |
| hounddog | but wait | 12:30 |
| cateract | ubottu, but what i'm asking is, is there any boot setting to be changed in order to get it right? For earlier, I didn't mean that, sorry if you are hurt. :) | 12:31 |

| niklare | exit | 12:33 |
| TJ- | hounddog: OK, /dev/sda5 looks like your Ubuntu install; /dev/sda6 is the GRUB BIOS partition I'd guess. | 12:33 |
| TJ- | hounddog: "sudo blkid /dev/sda5" should confirm it's a Linux file-system, probably ext4 | 12:34 |
| hounddog | TJ-: i must say thx for your help but i dont understand how you recognise sda5 or 6 from that information :) | 12:34 |
| TJ- | hounddog: If so, then do "sudo mkdir /mnt/target" then "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/target" | 12:34 |
| thoonai | Aqui1a: you tried all? | 12:34 |
| TJ- | hounddog: You queried the device /dev/sda, and the column "Number" is the partition number, so you put them together | 12:35 |

| ilhami | the remote server is ubuntu server | 12:35 |
| hounddog | TJ-: and yes was ext4 have mounted that now also | 12:36 |
| TJ- | hounddog: Once you've done the mount, you can do "df /dev/sda5" and show us the results | 12:36 |

| momo_eleven | the xfce menu trick does not work, any other cinclusions to get the std xubuntu xfce menu? | 12:37 |
| ilhami | in the SSH client right? thoonai | 12:37 |
| TJ- | hounddog: We're interested in the "Use%" value... if its at or close to 100% then out-of-space is likely, if not, we look deeper | 12:37 |

| hounddog | TJ-: i have been reading and also see some issues with video driver but i have not updated anything at all yesterday so i dont think that that would be the problem either | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | thoonai: could use filezilla if you have ssh server installed | 12:40 |
| momo_eleven | ActionParsnip: yes i did - no good menu, good to knoe where the dt menu file exists | 12:40 |
| momo_eleven | the std menu file | 12:40 |

| Jarle_ | really, share all files between users in a group | 12:41 |

| Aqui1a | thoonai: Yeah. I'm going to try the 304-updates one now | 12:43 |
| ilhami | will try ActionParsnip | 12:43 |

| Hounddog | TJ-: and thx for all the help you gave :) at least if i have a real problem i might be able to identify some things myself :) | 13:15 |
| TJ- | Hounddog: weird one then, it sounds as if the kernel is failing to start when the phone is connected... we don't know if the failure occurs in the GRUB bootloader, its EFI handoff, or the kernel itself though... that can be your assignment for the weekend :) | 13:15 |
| Hounddog | TJ-: hehe | 13:15 |
| thoonai | Jarle_: two ways: put them all into one group. let the group own the files, or ACLs | 13:15 |
| shinj-san | Nek, I assume you've tried uninstalling chrome and reinstalling fresh? | 13:15 |
| Nek | Of course | 13:15 |
| shinj-san | How much ram do you have? and how many extensions? | 13:16 |
| Nek | shinj-san, 8Go on both computers | 13:16 |
| thoonai | yey: I'm soory, no clue what to do there, sorry | 13:16 |
| Jarle_ | thoonai: I just added a new user to the existing usergroup. Still getting permission denied though for files owned by the group? what is ACL? | 13:16 |
| shinj-san | Nek, have you ever checked to see how much memory chrome is using compared to chromium? | 13:16 |
| Nek | shinj-san, and... 5 extensions, maybe 6. | 13:16 |
| shinj-san | that isn't many.... | 13:17 |
| Nek | But the ram doesn't look affected | 13:17 |

| Jarle_ | is ACL preferable over group permissions? | 13:17 |
| Nek | in facts, cpu doesn't look affected neither | 13:17 |
| thoonai | Jarle_: yes, its easier | 13:18 |
| shinj-san | Nek, did the problem start after an update or anythign? | 13:18 |
| thoonai | Pici: why does ubottu has no entry for 'acl/ACL'? | 13:18 |
| Nek | shinj-san, but my load average slowly growth to more than 3.. | 13:18 |
| shinj-san | I'm sure you've looked into all this already. I am just kind of at a loss | 13:19 |
| shinj-san | hmmmmmmm | 13:19 |
| Pici | thoonai: because no one made one. Feel free to submit a suggestion (also, factoids are case-insensitive) | 13:19 |
| Nek | shinj-san, nop, on both computer it's on the first usage | 13:19 |

| blindowl | hello. i'm newbie. please help. i installed another distro on my hardware.i choosed its root drive to format but selected the old home drive without formatting it.now i cannot see my old files and pictures in the new installition but when i prompt the disk size i see they are already there. what should i do? | 13:34 |
| jasabelle | i see | 13:34 |
| jasabelle | great, CUPS is saying Not Shared :( | 13:35 |
| TJ- | jasabelle: The drivers you're choosing from are just different ways for CUPS to talk to the printer; the "CUPS" driver is more generic and probably missing features about the specific model, whereas the recommended driver probably knows the most about the printer model and what it can do | 13:35 |
| jasabelle | ahhhh okie | 13:36 |
| jasabelle | CUPS needs to be set to share the printers so SAMBA can share them right? | 13:38 |

| Rory | Havenstance: I don't know, sorry, hopefully someone else in here knows about that | 13:49 |
| Aqui1a | Rory: Yeah this is much better! | 13:50 |
| Havenstance | I have found a few guides on the internet however none seem to answer my question directly :) | 13:50 |
| Rory | Havenstance: If you selected encryption during installation, the entire system is already encrypted with LUKS+LVM - there would be no benefit to performing any additional encryption | 13:51 |
| Rory | Havenstance: I don't know about the usb thing | 13:51 |
| Havenstance | Rory, the raid array isn't here yet but will that automatically encrypt when I install it? | 13:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | Havenstance: you can select encryption at install time. Is the server going to be mobile? | 13:52 |
| Havenstance | Rory, i understand the USB thing I've found a guid that I can use for that. I intend on writing one of my own to post for someone else to follow | 13:52 |
| Rory | Havenstance: The encryption is done at the LVM level, whether it's RAID array or not isn't relevant | 13:52 |
| Havenstance | ActionPa1snip, its going to be stationary, however its in a large hardware store so the boss is worried about the event that someone might steal the server he don't want them getting the pertinant company files | 13:53 |
| Havenstance | hence the software Raid | 13:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | Havenstance: then put it in a secure cabinet.... | 13:53 |
| Havenstance | ActionPa1snip, that was my thought lol | 13:53 |
| Havenstance | im just trying to give the man what he wants. | 13:54 |
| Rory | Havenstance: Set up the array, then install Ubuntu onto it, selecting the full-disk encryption option at install-time | 13:54 |
| Rory | Havenstance: Setting up the array, and setting up the OS with encryption, are separate tasks | 13:55 |
| Havenstance | Rory, right i understand that, I just wanted to know if I could configure the array with encryption after I install the system. Because the array and the OS are on two separate drives | 13:55 |
| Havenstance | the array will just be for storage purposes. 2 2tb mirrored drives | 13:56 |
| Rory | Havenstance: Yes but you'll have to make an encrypted filesystem or whatever on it manually, if you add it after installation | 13:56 |
| Rory | Havenstance: Selecting the encryption option during installation simply creates an LVM setup instead of disk partitions, and then encrypts the whole thing with LUKS | 13:56 |
| Havenstance | okay, so in theory i could leave the main system unencrypted then and just setup the array as encrpted? | 13:57 |
| Rory | Yes, but anything not stored where the RAID array is mounted, will not be encrypted | 13:57 |
| Rory | Which doesn't need saying, I assume | 13:57 |
| Havenstance | Rory, you just answered a huge question i was getting to if it was luks or what type lol, right it doesn't | 13:57 |
| Havenstance | the os files will be on the system root drive, the company files are going on the mirrored array | 13:58 |
| Rory | Pretend instead of a mirrored array it was just a single USB hard drive | 13:58 |
| === rickyb98 is now known as RickyB98 | ||
| === duoi is now known as duoi_afk | ||
| Havenstance | the files on the array are the files needing protected | 13:58 |
| Rory | You can encrypt the hard drive (or in this case huge array) - but you'll have to do it yourself using something like Truecrypt or LUKS | 13:58 |
| Havenstance | fair enough | 13:59 |
| Rory | Havenstance: Does your RAID controller have any encryption options? Perhaps if it's enterprise-grade it will | 13:59 |
| Havenstance | I just wanted to know if it could be done after the fact. and I doubt it as its going to be software based most likely using a script to mirror its self | 13:59 |
| TJ- | Havenstance: That's a pretty routine configuration; RAID + (MD) + (LVM) + LUKS: "sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/mapper/XXXX" ... and onwards, plus entry in "/etc/crypttab" + "/etc/fstab" (of the /dev/mapper/decrypted) | 14:00 |
| Rory | Havenstance: It can be done, there's a few guides around to setting up an encrypted drive on Ubuntu | 14:01 |
| Havenstance | TJ-, exactly what I needed to know, Rory sorry im not the best at putting this into words lol | 14:02 |
| Havenstance | in my head and the picture i have drawn up it makes perfect sense to me lol | 14:02 |
| TJ- | Havenstance: I have an (old) wiki article explaining how to do several permutations... you might need to revise a couple of steps to take account of newer encryption algorithms, but it has remained essentially the same | 14:03 |
| Havenstance | TJ-, can you PM the link? | 14:04 |
| TJ- | Havenstance: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyRAID5EncryptedLVM | 14:04 |
| Havenstance | thank you | 14:04 |
| TJ- | Havenstance: It's 5 years old so use it as a guide, not as instructions :) | 14:04 |
| Havenstance | TJ-, I just need something to give an idea of what to do. not so much physical instructions | 14:05 |

| draco_ | Hi, I just ran out of solutions and I am hoping somebody can give me clues on mounting windows shares, I can mount a specific share for a single user but we have multiple users on each computer.

| Pici | ilhami: do ./whatever.bin | 14:12 |
| ilhami | ok let me try | 14:12 |
| ilhami | it says no such file or dir | 14:13 |
| Rory | ilhami: Did you just type "./whatever.bin" or did you type the actual location of the .bin file? | 14:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | draco_: if you set the group owner to 'users' or some group which the users are in, you can give that group access. | 14:13 |
| Havenstance | ilhami, make sure you cd to the dir the file is in then execute ./whatever.bin | 14:13 |
| ilhami | I am in the folder where the .bin file is now | 14:14 |
| ilhami | yeah I did | 14:14 |

| TJ- | ilhami: is the file-system mounted without exec permissions? | 14:15 |
| Pici | ilhami: remember that filenames are case-sensitive too] | 14:15 |
| ilhami | dude I used the tab | 14:15 |
| ilhami | it has nothing to do with I typed it wrong | 14:15 |
| Pici | dude, we aren't psychic | 14:15 |
| Rory | ilhami: What does it say for "file filename.bin" | 14:16 |
| Havenstance | put sudo in front of the ./ command it may require root to run | 14:16 |
| Rory | I'm calling that it's a 32-bit executable on a 64-bit system or vice versa | 14:16 |
| ilhami | It's in a virtual machine. :D I cannot copy it but it says ELF 32-bit executable | 14:16 |

| ActionPa1snip | ilhami: ok, what sort of server? | 14:19 |
| draco_ | ActionPalsnip, thanks for the reply, my main problem is trying to figure out this: We have several File servers, hundreds of users, depending on the group they are they get different shares from different servers, I can do a single user per station, not a problem but then if another user logs in, the shares that the previous user had open will be available for the other users. | 14:19 |

| chillibite | when i turn my computer on i get 1) windows boot manager (ubtuntu is the default OS (i used an installer on the ubuntu dvd in windows to get it there) ubuntu 2) windows boot manager failure (windows failed to boot (even though i was booting into ubuntu and that is the default in the windows boot manager 3) startup menu (bios) 4) f9 boot device options (i have to choose the second ubuntu partition) 5) gnu grub (choose ubuntu) 7) ubuntu | 15:14 |

| vanishing | there are several places to look..ifconfig, /etc/resolve.conf etc etc | 15:24 |

| p1l0t | I cannot start apache2 because port 80 is already in use but there is no PID listed for ever is using this port... | 15:25 |

| tcpsyn | because the drive that has /tmp on it isn't ready yet... | 15:39 |
| sydney | what is it doing though; is it empptying it? | 15:39 |
| tcpsyn | depends on how you have it configured, it's trying to mount it. | 15:39 |
| sydney | Oh | 15:40 |
| tcpsyn | look at etc/fstab | 15:40 |

| d4rkt1m3s | why would you have more than one partition for your system? (other than having a separate /home partition, which is fine IMO) | 15:40 |

| d4rkt1m3s | a pointless endeavour. | 15:41 |
| tcpsyn | d4rkt1m3s: to prevent files on one partition from taking up the full disk.. | 15:41 |

| d4rkt1m3s | how is it wise? | 15:41 |
| d4rkt1m3s | to me, it just seems inconvenient. | 15:41 |
| p1l0t | So when I start apache2 manually with the SSL password its fine but the boot on startup isn't working right. I imagine that I need to have this password in a credentials file somewhere and call it on startup? | 15:42 |

| aliwdj | * default-jre * gcj-4.6-jre-headless * openjdk-6-jre-headless * gcj-4.5-jre-headless * openjdk-7-jre-headless | 16:54 |
| aliwdj | these are my options | 16:54 |
| HoNgOuRu | no matter wich type of file nor extension... | 16:54 |
| ilhami | do you think I said it was a connectivity problem for fun? | 16:54 |
| aliwdj | which one should I install? | 16:54 |
| tcpsyn | if you can ssh localhost, but not from elsewhere, you've got a firewall blocking you. | 16:54 |
| HoNgOuRu | I want to have an option to open with for all files | 16:54 |
| aliwdj | Hello? | 16:55 |
| ilhami | tcpsyn: you know what the funny part is? | 16:55 |
| tcpsyn | none of it is really that funny... | 16:55 |
| ilhami | I have before been able to do it. :) | 16:55 |
| aliwdj | is this ubuntu support channel? | 16:55 |
| ilhami | from another laptop | 16:55 |
| daftykins | aliwdj: depends what java application you want to run | 16:55 |
| daftykins | !patience | aliwdj | 16:55 |
| ubottu | aliwdj: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 16:55 |
| ilhami | also at home. | 16:55 |
| tcpsyn | aliwdj: yes, not a java support channel. | 16:55 |
| aliwdj | daftykins, what is the difference between those versions? | 16:56 |
| ilhami | It's probably the port which is blocked, tcpsyn ? | 16:56 |
| tcpsyn | aliwdj: the correct version is the version you need to support whatever application you need it for. | 16:56 |
| tcpsyn | ilhami: 22 | 16:56 |
| ilhami | yes I think it is blocked | 16:56 |
| ilhami | It may be. | 16:56 |
| tcpsyn | there you are | 16:56 |
| aliwdj | tcpsyn, is there a difference security wise? | 16:56 |
| ilhami | can I change it to 2222? | 16:56 |
| Rory | ilhami: Okay. Can you run the command "ifconfig" and look for the server's IP address? It will say "inet addr:10.169.34.113" or similar | 16:56 |
| HoNgOuRu | can anybody help ? I want to have the option lets say.. "open with myscript" for all type of files... is it possible ? | 16:56 |
| tcpsyn | aliwdj: it's all a security mess. | 16:56 |
| ilhami | Rory: 2 sec. | 16:56 |
| Rory | ilhami: Then, put that IP address into PuTTY to connect to the server | 16:56 |
| MonkeyDust | ilhami have you asked your school's assistance? | 16:56 |
| ilhami | MonkeyDust nope? | 16:57 |
| daftykins | HoNgOuRu: please stop repeating, you've been asking constantly and body's replied - obviously it means nobody knows | 16:57 |
| daftykins | *nobody's | 16:57 |
| tcpsyn | ilhami: generally, people change it to 443, which is generally allowed through firewalls. | 16:57 |
| tcpsyn | ilhami: if you're not running something on 443, I'd suggest using that. | 16:58 |
| MonkeyDust | ilhami does your school allow what you are trying to do? | 16:58 |
| ilhami | is it 169.254.2.18? | 16:58 |
| ilhami | yes it does | 16:58 |
| ilhami | it doesnt work with that IP | 16:58 |
| tcpsyn | .... | 16:58 |
| ilhami | ifconfig gives me that | 16:58 |
| tcpsyn | heh. | 16:58 |
| tcpsyn | you got a network issue man. | 16:59 |
| ilhami | why? | 16:59 |
| tcpsyn | that's not a routable ip address | 16:59 |
| daftykins | 169 is an APIPA address | 16:59 |
| Rory | ilhami: If it's in a VM it probably isn't on the actual network your Windows PC is connected to | 16:59 |
| daftykins | it's issued when no DHCP server is contacted | 16:59 |
| MonkeyDust | ilhami that's why you should ask your schools assistance | 16:59 |
| ilhami | my internet is through my mothers workplace. | 16:59 |
| ilhami | my internet at home | 16:59 |
| ilhami | I am not at school now MonkeyDust | 16:59 |
| Rory | ilhami: Are you using Virtualbox? | 17:00 |
| ilhami | Rory: it's the same laptop | 17:00 |
| ilhami | No Hyper-V | 17:00 |
| ilhami | I mean the VM is on the same laptop as my Windows OS | 17:00 |
| ilhami | I also have a inet6 addr?? Can't I connect through that? | 17:00 |
| daftykins | ugh hyper-v | 17:01 |
| Rory | ilhami: Go to some Microsoft support channel, and ask them how to configure networking such that the guest VM and host are on the same network - bridged adaptor rather than NAT | 17:01 |
| ilhami | can't I connect through my IPv6 addr? | 17:01 |
| Rory | ilhami: We've established this isn't some Ubuntu configuration issue, which is at least good to know | 17:01 |
| Rory | ilhami: Are you a wizard? | 17:01 |
| tcpsyn | I am a wizard | 17:01 |
| tcpsyn | I practice wizardry | 17:01 |
| Rory | tcpsyn probably can then | 17:01 |
| HoNgOuRu | daftykins, sorry | 17:01 |
| seednode | I thought I was a wizard | 17:01 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu-wizards | 17:02 |
| tcpsyn | seednode: you just wizzed. | 17:02 |
| Rory | But without magic, you will need to sort out your networking - make sure the two hosts can at least reach each other | 17:02 |
| tcpsyn | ilhami: if you're serious about learning linux... go all in. Run your windows VM on a linux host | 17:03 |
| tcpsyn | hyper-v isn't going to be valuable to you. | 17:03 |
| lancro | hi, Im trying to put a centos iso in a pen drive, from ubuntu, I was going to use dd, but I dont know wich sdx is the pendrive, how can I look it? | 17:04 |
| tcpsyn | lancro: I've always used something like unetbootin to do that | 17:04 |
| tcpsyn | lancro: but you can use fdisk -l to look at the devices | 17:04 |
| lancro | ok, Ill use unetbooting, thanks for the help tcpsyn | 17:05 |

| MonkeyDust | lancro use lsblk and/or sudo blkid to knwo what's where | 17:06 |

| ilhami | hey I got problems | 17:21 |
| marianne | hi again, what the command to check and see if you're runnung 2D or3D unity on 12.04 | 17:21 |
| ilhami | my network config fails | 17:22 |
| ActionPa1snip | marianne: ps -ef | egrep 'compiz|metacity' | 17:22 |
| ActionPa1snip | marianne: if it shows compiz running, it's 3D, otherwise it's 2D | 17:22 |
| ActionPa1snip | aliwdj: there is the WebUpd8 PPA which has Java 1.7 | 17:23 |
| ActionPa1snip | aliwdj: please kill caps and keep it family friendly | 17:23 |
| marianne | ActionPalsnip" thank you | 17:23 |
| aliwdj | ActionPa1snip> why does it have to be so hard to uninstall java 1.6 and install 1.7 | 17:24 |
| ActionPa1snip | aliwdj: its not | 17:24 |
| aliwdj | I TRIED REMOVE!!! It still says java -version | 17:24 |
| Blizzz | ActionPa1snip: sure, though sometimes the devices are not in the same network. But it is not critical because of this (only for other people that do not activite developer mode on the device) | 17:24 |
| aliwdj | 1.6 | 17:24 |
| ActionPa1snip | aliwdj: its 3 commands, not hard | 17:24 |
| ActionPa1snip | Blizzz: port forward port 22/TCP to the server and you can access your data from anywhere on the planet | 17:25 |

| ubottu | PreK: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Trusty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 14.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 17:30 |

| rodd_ | the user forgot his password | 17:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | rodd_: then you will need to chroot from liveCD and you can reset passwords | 17:54 |

| wise___ | Hello, Can somebody please help me troubleshoot a linux install where I cannot disable uefi? | 18:22 |
| fa7ad | anybody with a solution to my problem? | 18:23 |
| k1l | wise___: we can not talk for every linux in here. but for ubuntu people will try to help if you state your exact issue | 18:23 |
| Wash_Jones | Okay, awesome, thanks guys | 18:24 |
| wise___ | k1l, Okay. I can disable secure boot, I cannot select anything but UEFI in the bios. Grub2 loads up from a liveUSB I created (tried both ubuntu and mint) and I'm able to select Install Ubuntu, or Try Ubuntu, etc. after grub, I'm greeted with a blank screen, and a chime. | 18:26 |
| drodriguezpadill | I'm hoping someone could help me with this, but I connected my laptop via HDMI to my TV and it is overscans the picture on the TV to where the top and left side are hidden. What can I do to fix this? There is no option on the TV for overscan. | 18:26 |
| wise___ | k1l, i tried adding parameter 'nomodeset' from grub, but I just get an error message. | 18:27 |
| fa7ad | . | 18:27 |
| TJ- | wise___: Have you tried adding "nomodeset" to the kernel's command-line boot options from the GRUB boot menu? .... haha! ... what error message did you get, and when? | 18:27 |
| u1310s | hi | 18:28 |
| wise___ | TJ-, it said it didn't reconize 'nomodeset' | 18:28 |
| TJ- | wise___: Secondly, did you try starting using the boot menu's Advanced ... recovery menu entry (that disables the splash screen, shows more kernel messages, and doesn't try to start the GUI? | 18:29 |
| wise___ | TJ- how do I do that? | 18:29 |
| TJ- | wise___: Ahhhh... I think I know why that happened. When you added " nomodeset" did you ensure it was at the end of the line that begins "linux...", being careful to account for the fact that the GRUB menu editor text entry wraps the lines ? | 18:29 |
| wise___ | TJ-, haha... nope i just typed it on its own line... | 18:30 |
| === Zou is now known as Gurty | ||
| TJ- | wise___: At the GRUB boot menu, there should be an Advanced..." sub-menu beneath the default boot entry, selecting that brings up a sub-menu with alternative "recovery" boot options and the entries for any older kernel versions still installed after kernel upgrades. | 18:30 |
| wise___ | I'm going to log into this channel from my phone and boot into grub. | 18:31 |
| TJ- | wise___: that's a common gotchya, and not helpful. I'd suggest trying again, first with the recovery option to ensure it does boot rather than freeze, which'll end up at a text based recovery menu with options like "root shell", "shell with networking". | 18:32 |
| TJ- | wise___: If that works, reboot and try adding "nomodeset" to the default entry, ensuring it's at the end of the "linux... " line, and for better reports, remove the "quiet splash" entries so you can see kernel messages too | 18:32 |
| c_smith_ | whol | 18:33 |
| wise___ | TJ- great I'll try that now. wise_phone is also me. | 18:34 |
| TJ- | drodriguezpadill: Does the TV have an option such as "Screen Fit" instead of "16:9" in the Picture Options of the OSD? | 18:34 |
| drodriguezpadill | TJ, it does not. The closest thing is Zoom Mode, but none of the modes work to fit the screen. | 18:36 |
| wise_phone | Ok... Removed quiet splash, added nomodeset, a quick line of text flashed but im still at the same blank screen, with a chime. | 18:37 |
| ilhami | I cant start x in xming | 18:37 |
| Fohlen | anyone knows where I could obtain more up-to-date calligra packages (callibrasheets, calligrawords) for ubuntu 13.04 without installing the calligra-suit as a complete? | 18:37 |
| TJ- | wise___: The line of text would be GRUB's "starting linux..." or "loading linux.../loading initial ramdisk..." | 18:37 |
| drodriguezpadill | ...TJ, Zoom Mode include Standard, Wide Zoom, Wide, and Zoom | 18:37 |
| Fohlen | calligawords is already in the repos, but it's calligra 2.6.3 and heavily buggy :( | 18:37 |
| TJ- | drodriguezpadill: The issue is usually caused by incorrect EDID data sent by the TV to the PC | 18:38 |
| wise_phone | Tj- yes i believe so.. | 18:38 |
| drodriguezpadill | TJ, What would I need to do to fix it? | 18:38 |
| Sprocks | willwh or anyone else that has used byobu do you know how i can get it to use my .bash_profile? i have aliases in it that i would like to be able to use in byobu | 18:39 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Are there any external devices left plugged in; USB, firewire, ExpressCard, etc.? | 18:39 |
| wise_phone | Tj- only the usb drive with linux on it. | 18:39 |
| TJ- | drodriguezpadill: It's difficult; either calculate and install a custom modeline for the X server, of else capture, modify, and use as an over-ride, the EDID data | 18:40 |
| Beldar | Fohlen, Never used it but found this info, be aware PPA's are not supported here is all. http://www.kubuntu.org/news/calligra-2.8 | 18:40 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: If that isn't the installed Ubuntu, then I'd suggest unplugging it. We had someone else earlier had identical symptoms and the cause was leaving the mobile phone connected during boot | 18:40 |
| Fohlen | Beldar thanks so far, but those only contain the main calligra package (whole suit) :( | 18:41 |

| Sailor7009 | could someone help me out installing ubuntu in a win8 built-in pc, it came with 6 partitions | 18:46 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Right, so, the question now becomes, how did you create the USB device? | 18:46 |
| wise_phone | Tj- downloaded 13.10 iso, made the usb with lili | 18:47 |
| jhutchins | kjs: What was the package you were looking for multiarch on? | 18:47 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Did you check the md5sum of the installed image once it was created? | 18:48 |
| Beldar | paloalt0, You familiar with the per-session boot menu, outside the bios? | 18:48 |
| wise_phone | Tj- ill run through that process again and check the md5sum | 18:49 |
| Beldar | !uefi | Sailor7009 | 18:49 |
| ubottu | Sailor7009: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:49 |
| Beldar | Sailor7009, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 18:49 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: A quick test is, try (from Windows) booting it in a Virtual Machine. According to the Linuxliveusb.com web-site, it comes with a virtualization feature to do that | 18:49 |
| Beldar | Sailor7009, You want to resize windows from its partitioner leaving a unallocated area for the ubuntu install. | 18:50 |
| Sprocks | willwh i found a way to get it to work, instead of trying to reference the .bash_profile directly i have byobu run bash --login | 18:50 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: see http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/guide/using-lili | 18:52 |
| Sailor7009 | thanks a lot, Beldar: this isn't an issue to change disk with all these partitions? | 18:53 |
| Beldar | Sailor7009, Not sure I understand your question. | 18:54 |
| Sailor7009 | i mean those tutorials over there said make sure to not have more than 3 partition | 18:54 |
| Beldar | Sailor7009, The ones I gave are standard the 3 partition limit is a msdos partition table reference, you have a uefi table and are gpt. | 18:55 |
| willwh | Sprocks: ye I saw that in the laucnhpad bug too - glad you got it working :) | 18:55 |
| spoutnik16 | hi guys | 18:55 |
| spoutnik16 | i'm searching how to save a desktop session (i means programs + windows lcoation) on ubuntu 13.10 shutdown | 18:56 |
| spoutnik16 | so, when i wake up my computer, it is like it was when i closed it | 18:56 |
| spoutnik16 | hi guys | 18:56 |
| Beldar | Sailor7009, Do you know the differences on a msdos and efi/gpt partition tablinb. | 18:57 |
| Beldar | tabling* | 18:57 |
| TJ- | spoutnik16: If the PC is "shutdown" it powers off; so it doesn't "wake" - that term is used for resuming from Hibernation or Suspend-to-RAM | 18:57 |
| Sailor7009 | Beldar: not at all | 18:57 |
| lancro | Sailor7009, I instaled ubuntu in my system, uefi, with windows 8.1 | 18:58 |
| lancro | You need unallocated space, make it from windows | 18:58 |
| Sailor7009 | i was wandering if you could go into details | 18:58 |
| lancro | and in the installation go to the advanced options in partitioning | 18:58 |
| Sailor7009 | yes, | 18:58 |
| spoutnik16 | TJ-, > well, i'm looking for a way to save my desktop (open programs + their workspace lcoation) when i power it off, so when i power it up it will be the same | 18:58 |
| lancro | in windows in the administration center, right click on your computer administrate | 18:58 |
| Sailor7009 | they mentioned 3 partitions, i got 6, i want understand this | 18:59 |
| TJ- | spoutnik16: I'd recommend you investigate Hibernation then; that's it purpose. | 18:59 |
| lancro | I think I have more | 18:59 |
| lancro | the efi partition, the windows partition, 2 other dell partitions for system checkup, 2 ubuntu partitions, and 3 for centos | 19:00 |
| spoutnik16 | TJ-, > ok, thank you :) | 19:00 |
| wise_phone | Tj- im in the ubuntu installer now.. Humm.. | 19:00 |
| Beldar | Sailor7009, Cool, no biggie. Look closely at both links I gave you. The Ubuntu Forums ones is especially helpful in the partitioning, imaging/cloning W8.1 and making a recovery disc. | 19:00 |
| Sailor7009 | i create a partition from c:/? | 19:00 |
| spoutnik16 | TJ-, > in my mind, hibernation was more about polar bears and marmots | 19:00 |
| TJ- | Sailor7009: Before we had UEFI firmware, there was BIOS. At that time disks used an MSDOS-based partitioning scheme that limited the disk to 4 'primary' partitions. Over time that proved to be too few, so UEFI introduced GPT which can have 128. | 19:00 |
| Sailor7009 | is it? | 19:00 |
| lancro | you srink the partition | 19:00 |
| lancro | for example you have a 1TB partition, you make it smaller, like 800GB, and leave the rest for the installer | 19:01 |
| lancro | make room for ubuntu | 19:01 |
| TJ- | Sailor7009: Windows 8.x required UEFI, which requires in turn GPT, so there is now no 4-partition limitation, so all you need to do is free up some space allocated to Windows so that the partition that contains that space can be shrunk, and a new partition created that will point to that free space, which can then be used by the Ubuntu installer | 19:01 |
| Sailor7009 | thank you guys | 19:02 |
| Sailor7009 | I'm going there | 19:02 |
| Sailor7009 | now i thoroughly understand | 19:02 |

| ring3 | no, i doesnt loged in, and via tty, i see my home | 20:09 |

| TJ- | wise_phone: The 'purple' screen is the 'splash' graphical background, so something is happening. Try using "rootdelay=90 nomodeset debug" and removing "quiet splash", if anything is reported we know the kernel is starting | 20:11 |
| breno_ | is it right to say that the difference between a iso.manifest and iso.list files are that the source packages and the second are the binary packages? | 20:12 |

| TJ- | wise_phone: I don't like that PC! | 20:15 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: by "normal booting procedure" do you mean you see the kernel's boot messages but when it reaches the expected log-in it doesn't switch to the graphical log-in? | 20:16 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: If so, try switching to a text terminal with Alt+Ctrl+F1 | 20:16 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: If that shows a "login: " prompt then you can at least get in and work on fixing the graphical drivers for the video card, which will be the problem | 20:17 |

| Zelgod | rww: i looked a review and apparently mint is supposed to be snappier however i'd be fine with whatever distro has more support and work with my laptop. | 20:25 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: If you used the command I gave you, pastebinit will have posted the output to a pastebin and given you the URL, which you simply need to give here | 20:25 |

| TJ- | wise_phone: I'm concerned that the "lspci" output doesn't show the kernel driver in use for the i915, but the syslog shows it being initialised. As both those were captured during the same session, that is ... confusing | 21:22 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: "lsmod | grep i915" ... does that show the i915 kernel module is loaded? | 21:23 |
| Pessimist | wise_phone, what's the Xorg.0.log now? | 21:24 |

| Pessimist | wise_phone, only idea I have is that something is wrong with your kernel because there is no /dev/dri/card0.

| TJ- | wise_phone: I think we're going need to give the kernel another command-line option "i915.modeset=1" ... but we'll try that later when you reboot | 21:49 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: agpgart? aha! | 21:50 |
| wise_phone | Paste.ubuntu.com/7116543 | 21:50 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: OK... check if i915 has partially loaded with "lsmod | grep i915". If it has loaded, unload it: "sudo modprobe -r i915" | 21:51 |
| wise_phone | Tj- ok unloaded. | 21:52 |

| TJ- | wise_phone: OK ... let's do the same stuff again, in case something changed: "tail -n 1200 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit" | 22:44 |
| wise_phone | Paste.ubuntu.com/7116775 | 22:45 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I've read indications that this may be a bug in the kernel version, and 3.13 *may* fix it - found an Intel open-source labs changelog for the i915 driver that says that, but not entirely clear that applies to your specific system | 22:48 |
| wise_phone | Oh ok... Worth a try to update the kernel? | 22:48 |
| === RickyB98 is now known as rickyb98 | ||
| TJ- | wise_phone: not unless we can get a much better indication, else we are changing variables that might introduce other issues | 22:49 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I've found a suggestion that this (kind of) issue might be solved simply using the kernel command-line option "video.backlight=vendor" ... try using that: "debug video.backlight=vendor" and remove "quiet splash" | 22:50 |
| wise_phone | Tj- that just booted me into an unresponsive blank screen, no way out. | 22:53 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Grrr! | 22:53 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: OK, another permutation: lets try influencing the ACPI side: "debug acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor" | 22:54 |

| pigiamino65 | hello | 22:56 |
| wise_phone | Tj- same blank screen :/ | 22:57 |
| pigiamino65 | need help to recovery data from a damaged usb pendrive pls | 22:57 |
| pigiamino65 | using GPated it sees nothing | 22:59 |
| pigiamino65 | by disk manager it says generic usb flash disk | 23:00 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I'm reading the kernel patches related to this stuff, no clues so far | 23:00 |
| pigiamino65 | firmware 7.76 | 23:00 |
| pigiamino65 | with testdosk it sees nothing | 23:01 |
| pigiamino65 | testdisk | 23:01 |
| pigiamino65 | anyone can help me pls | 23:01 |
| Diamondcite | If it detects a 0Byte large USB drive, I have no idea how to get data back | 23:01 |
| pigiamino65 | Diamondcite you mean no chance at all? | 23:03 |
| Diamondcite | pigiamino65: I had one of my USB keys pulled during a data write, my key died on the spot.. | 23:04 |
| pigiamino65 | the light on the usb device works | 23:04 |
| pigiamino65 | could it be formatted ? | 23:04 |
| pigiamino65 | it was used for little minutes by bad guy | 23:04 |
| pigiamino65 | surely there is a trick | 23:04 |
| pigiamino65 | but dont know if i have a chance or not | 23:05 |
| Diamondcite | pigiamino65: From online research, it might be possible to make the key usable again, but I haven't found any conventional means to get data back. Data recovery places will probably have better luck if they read what is on the chip directly instead of going through the built in controller | 23:05 |
| meep2424 | hi all. Quick question, I don't see an alternate 13.10 installer, is encrypted LVM an option with the normal ubiquity installer now? | 23:05 |
| === Guest13907 is now known as Rasmus` | ||
| pigiamino65 | thanks can you recommend me any right place for my search? | 23:06 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I think we *may* have found an explanation. I think you need to enter the system's UEFI setup at boot-time, find the Compatibility Support Module (CSM) aka Legacy BIOS option, and enable it. | 23:06 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: That may already be enabled, but if it isn't, enable it and try a normal boot without adding kernel command-line options | 23:06 |
| TJ- | meep2424: Yes | 23:07 |
| Diamondcite | pigiamino65: Sadly I don't have any recommendations, unless you want to look up how to read a flash chip directly. I don't remember the name, some had claimed there is a utility which can rewrite the drive's firmware to give it space visible again. | 23:07 |
| wise_phone | Tj- there is no csm or legacy option. | 23:07 |
| meep2424 | thanks TJ- | 23:08 |
| wise_phone | Tj- secure boot is disabled. | 23:08 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: secure boot is OK; it's the CSM support that you need to enable | 23:08 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: The reason being, when in pure UEFI mode, the UEFI firmware is responsible for providing some video services and many UEFI images out there are buggy in that respect. Using CSM/Legacy allows the kernel to completely initialise the video hardware | 23:10 |
| wise_phone | Tj- there are no options to enable legacy or csm... | 23:11 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Hmmm, I wonder what they call it! | 23:11 |
| Diamondcite | Secure boot? | 23:11 |
| west24352 | just started on xubuntu - screensaver keeps kicking in, want to make the timeout longer but cannot find the place to set it, any help? | 23:13 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Maybe that model only provides EFI video, in which case, we have to continue searching | 23:14 |
| wise_phone | Tj- possibly. Under "boot type" the only option is uefi. | 23:15 |
| pigiamino65 | Diamondcite: is it flashrom ? | 23:16 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: Yes, probably. anyhow, let's drop that avenue and go back to persuading the kernel to like the video chipset :) | 23:18 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I found this, which seems to be the most authoritative comments so far: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61671 | 23:18 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 61671 in Video(DRI - Intel) "i915 silently fails to load on generation >= 6 gpus with nomodeset" [Normal,Resolved: invalid] | 23:18 |
| mrogne | I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out WHAT Is bound to control+alt+UP and control+alt+DOWN... as far as I can tell, nothing is. I've looked through compiz settings and don't see anything bound to them?? :( | 23:19 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: the take-away is that i915 *requires* modeset to function, so if we disable it in any way the error is expected... jsut not a very friendly or understandable message | 23:19 |

| MonkeyDust | mrogne maybe you can use ccsm to bind an action to that key combination | 23:20 |
| mrogne | MonkeyDust: i want to make sure nothing is bound to them... i wanna use these in sublime text | 23:21 |
| darkman_ | chaki | 23:22 |
| MonkeyDust | mrogne then apparentally you can proceed :) | 23:22 |
| mrogne | eh? | 23:22 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: That suggests you may *need* "i915.modeset=1" in order to ensure KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) | 23:22 |
| darkman_ | spanis? | 23:22 |
| MonkeyDust | mrogne you say nothing has been bound to it, so what's the problem? | 23:22 |
| darkman_ | elfo aleman? | 23:22 |
| mrogne | MonkeyDust: I said I can't find anything bound to it, but clearly something is | 23:23 |
| pigiamino65 | , | 23:23 |
| wise_phone | Tj- ill try that now. | 23:23 |
| MonkeyDust | mrogne i'm not followong, why do you think there is, if you can't find what it is? | 23:24 |

| mrogne | MonkeyDust: I can't tell if you're trolling me or not | 23:24 |
| mrogne | I'm going to assume you're not. It's gotta be bound to something because nothing is happening in sublime text. It's not even changing lines. | 23:24 |
| MonkeyDust | mrogne i'ml trying to find out what's bothering you | 23:24 |
| darkman_ | q top ese bot como ayud. Gracias :) | 23:24 |
| mrogne | Because I can't *find* anything bound to it, doesn't necessarily mean something isn't. | 23:25 |
| mrogne | Hence, I'm here. | 23:25 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: If that on it's own doesn't work I've found some additional options that may be required: "i915.modeset=1 i915.lvds_channel_mode=2 i915.lvds_use_ssc=0 acpi_backlight=vendor" | 23:25 |
| darkman_ | bye | 23:27 |

| TJ- | wise_phone: was that in response to the entry with "lvds_channel" in it? | 23:33 |
| wise_phone | Tj- yes | 23:33 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: without hands-on the system, I'm at a loss right now. I'm sure if I was in front of it I'd see something that would give me a clue | 23:34 |
| daftykins | can't take pics of each page of this system i take it? | 23:34 |
| daftykins | that's what i've had people do. | 23:34 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I think it's time to try the latest mainline kernel! | 23:34 |
| wise_phone | Tj- okay cool, how do i update? | 23:35 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: log-in. Create a temporary directory: "mkdir -p ~/Downloads/kernel/ && cd ~/Downloads/kernel" | 23:36 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| wise_phone | K, done. | 23:38 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I have a script I use here to get the lateset kernel; I've put it on my web-server so you can download it. "wget http://iam.tj/projects/misc/wget_kernel_mainline.sh" | 23:39 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: once it's downloaded make it executable: "chmod +x wget_kernel_mainline.sh" | 23:39 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: The, run it: "./wget_kernel_mainline.sh" | 23:40 |
| wise_phone | Ok, running. | 23:41 |
| === duoi is now known as duoi_afk | ||
| TJ- | wise_phone: once the download is complete do "cd v3.14-rc7-trusty/" then "sudo dpkg -i linux*{all,amd64}.deb" - that'll install the 64-bit packages and should run an update-grub to make this the default boot kernel. After that, you can try a reboot. | 23:45 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: actually, scratch that, that'll install too many kernel flavours, let me rework that | 23:46 |
| hawk_7 | #horriblesubs@irc.rizon.net | 23:49 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: OK, that should be "cd v3.14-rc7-trusty/" then "sudo dpkg -i linux-*rc7_*_all.deb linux-*generic*amd64.deb" | 23:50 |
| Guest46591 | hi | 23:51 |

| amigamagic | Hi, I would like to know if this is a known issue with all Ubuntu distro: it's normal that heavy hard disk activity could hang your system at the point it will not respond anymore to the user? | 23:54 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: go to the GRUB menu... make sure that new version is the one booted | 23:54 |
| wise_phone | Tj- i did. And guess what.... | 23:55 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: I daren't guess! | 23:55 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: someone in ##linux has just reported the very same issue! | 23:55 |
| amigamagic | I mean: in other desktop/workstation operating systems, the user interaction is always prioritized, but this doesn't appear the case with ubuntu... | 23:56 |
| wise_phone | Tj- it worked. Im in unity! | 23:56 |
| TJ- | amigamagic: Yes, and there is a lowlatency kernel to help avoid it for GUI | 23:56 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: no way!?!?! And I just advised "Left_Turn" (from ##linux) to come here and observe! | 23:57 |
| amigamagic | I think I have reduced a little the problem by changing the "swappiness" variable with sysctl | 23:57 |
| Left_Turn | yep i idle here TJ- :) | 23:57 |
| amigamagic | I changed to 5 (from 60) | 23:57 |
| amigamagic | and now it appear to be better | 23:58 |
| TJ- | Left_Turn: Oh, OK, so there's a possible solution then. Install the mainline kernels | 23:58 |
| wise_phone | Yeah!!! Tj- you are the man, ya know! | 23:58 |
| TJ- | wise_phone: thank goodness we got it ... I'd have gone to bed depressed otherwise :p | 23:58 |
| Left_Turn | but my problem is im booting the iso... it doesnt make it to the terminal | 23:58 |
| amigamagic | TJ, there is a new kernel to give more priority to the gui? | 23:59 |
| TJ- | Left_Turn: OK ... you need to use "nomodeset" I think and let it run in low-graphics mode | 23:59 |
| Left_Turn | oh thats 1 of the boot options? ill try | 23:59 |
| wise_phone | For some reason i had to logon as a guest, but thats probably completely unrelated. | 23:59 |
