| Geo | Hi, I'm about to attempt to hot swap a SATA drive from a mdstat-run RAID 5... any thoughts or words of advice on how to proceed? | 00:53 |
| ponbiki | it's netwrok wide | 00:53 |
| yolo_ | well this name is registered as mine | 00:53 |
| yolo_ | i registered it | 00:53 |
| ponbiki | cool | 00:54 |
| ponbiki | you should be able to join #python now | 00:54 |
| xar- | Geo: mdadm /dev/mdX --remove /dev/<drive>; should about cover it; man mdadm. | 00:54 |
| yolo_ | by why does it say that i'm unregistered ? | 00:54 |
| ponbiki | it means you're nick isn't registered | 00:54 |
| Geo | xar: I have the procedure down... more curious about any common gotchas associated with pulling a drive out while the system is on | 00:55 |
| ponbiki | or you're not identified | 00:55 |
| Geo | I'm sure people have hosed things up pretty good before | 00:55 |
| yolo_ | ohh ok | 00:55 |
| yolo_ | it works now | 00:55 |
| yolo_ | i didn't confirm | 00:55 |
| yolo_ | thanks | 00:55 |
| ponbiki | you're welcome | 00:56 |
| xar- | Geo: I usually don't hot pull unless it's enterprise grade hardware; can you not shut it down? | 00:56 |
| Geo | I could; I'd just much rather not | 00:56 |
| Geo | so trying to get a little more educated on the risks and common pitfalls | 00:57 |
| xar- | Geo: pardon me, it's gonna be --fail <device> and --remove <device>; what kind of RAID is it? | 00:57 |
| Geo | 5 | 00:57 |
| Geo | all the drives are fine, Im' just prepping to grow it | 00:58 |
| Geo | so even if one other fails while i pull this out, I can place it back in and be ok... I only run into probs if more than one fails :) | 00:58 |
| Wonder567 | hi | 01:00 |
| xar- | Geo: it's best to grow when the array is not degraded, as the entire layout on all the disks will be shifting, as it's 5, you always run the risk of a URE surfacing during a disk rebuild, which is why people use 6. | 01:00 |
| Geo | right, I'm going to swap all the disks first and get it all back up, then grow the partitions | 01:01 |
| xar- | Geo: that's a lot of disk i/o; good luck! just make sure it's clean and the superblock has persistence. | 01:02 |
| Wonder567 | could I please paste a pastebin regarding Lucid Lynx updates? | 01:03 |
| xar- | Geo: and schedule a 5-6 transition ASAP. | 01:03 |
| Geo | feel free to send me more controller cards and drives at your convenience :) | 01:03 |
| Geo | I have to work with what I got | 01:03 |
| xar- | I'm not saying it just say it. It's just best practices. I hope it's not your data, and someone elses ;) | 01:03 |
| xar- | s/saying it/saying it to/ | 01:04 |
| Wonder567 | hello? blah | 01:04 |
| Beldar | Wonder567, Include it with a outline of the issue and whether this is a server or desktop. | 01:04 |
| SuperLag | Are there any GUI tools for update-alternatives *besides* galternatives? | 01:05 |
| mint__ | hey, how can i view xfs filesystem from a raid 1? | 01:05 |
| Wonder567 | Beldar: this is server edition lucid lynx | 01:05 |
| Beldar | Wonder567, Cool, so tell the channel the issue and include the paste if you like. | 01:06 |
| xar- | mint__: your question is confusing? is the device with the xfs filesystem, mounted? | 01:06 |
| Wonder567 | Beldar: Thanks | 01:06 |
| Beldar | Wonder567, No prob, I know little about servers so tell everyone. ;) | 01:06 |
| Wonder567 | the issue I am having is this robot finds kitten program I stumbled upon this post and it's nagging me. | 01:07 |
| mint__ | xar-: Yes i can see it in gpart | 01:07 |
| xar- | mint__: if it were mounted, you would have a directory with which to interact with the block device. What is the directory? Go to it. | 01:07 |

| Wonder567 | Beldar could you take a look at that pastebin and just see what you think? | 01:10 |
| Beldar | birdman007, This a custom conky? Has is ever shown? | 01:10 |
| birdman007 | if i execute it from the terminal then it shows up fine just not when i have it set to autostart after i login | 01:11 |
| Beldar | Wonder567, I did, YOU cleaned but did not run a update before the upgrade, not sure it will matter in the error, however does in general. | 01:11 |
| mint__ | xar-: no directory, cannot see it in the devices | 01:11 |
| Beldar | birdman007, Include a delayed start time in the auto start | 01:12 |
| Wonder567 | Beldar it was a post in the noob forums so after a mess with a system wide firefox update for me with lucid I decided to try to help. | 01:13 |

| daftykins | Wonder567: i don't understand why you're bothering to put any effort into an EOL OS | 01:18 |
| Wonder567 | that post I placed in the pastebin was just a odd question | 01:18 |
| daftykins | it's game over, you must update, that's all that can really be said | 01:18 |

| Geo | SchrodingersScat: no other thoughts on how to differentiate the drives? | 01:30 |
| Geo | wrb123: then it sounds like someone is scanning it, and likely trying a brute force attack against it | 01:30 |
| daftykins | Geo: dmesg should show output when they were detected, they should show full serial numbers | 01:31 |
| daftykins | that would get you to sda/b/c etc | 01:31 |

| goodtime | why would anyone disable the login | 01:33 |

| skinkitten | qin, what? | 01:53 |
| daftykins | skinkitten: sounds to me like you're launching emacs in a less than preferable way to begin with, can you not do it after hitting alt+f2 | 01:53 |
| skinkitten | no | 01:54 |
| qin | skinkitten: disregard, was reading every forth word | 01:54 |
| daftykins | skinkitten: how come? | 01:55 |
| skinkitten | unno | 01:55 |
| daftykins | skinkitten: you'd have to type it as "emacs ~" instead of "emacs ." more than likely | 01:55 |
| daftykins | or just look up how to run emacs properly | 01:55 |
| skinkitten | emacs . starts up emacs, in the current directory I'm in | 01:56 |

| JCM83 | My monitor is a 16:9 ratio, but when I moved from NVIDIA drivers to the xorg nouveau driver, the display dropped to 4:3 and it doesn't appear to have an option in system settings to fix it. What do I need to do? ("Go back to the proprietary NVIDIA driver" is my backup) | 02:22 |
| daftykins | JCM83: if you look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log does it refer to failing to get EDID info? | 02:23 |
| daftykins | what's your preference with running open over proprietary? :) | 02:24 |
| JCM83 | Heh well I'd rather run open everything if it works as well, but I understand the nouveau driver fixes some flash rendering problems. Checking the log. | 02:24 |
| JCM83 | I don't see "EDID" | 02:25 |

| advx_ | Hi All, Good Morning | 02:26 |
| JCM83 | daftykins, this is the log:http://paste.ubuntu.com/7196922/ | 02:28 |
| JCM83 | It seems to be having trouble reading the nvidia module? | 02:29 |
| JCM83 | daftykins There's definitely a bunch of errors but I'm not sure how to interpret them, what their importance is, and which are to be expected and are just sort of defaults. | 02:30 |
| daftykins | JCM83: sorry was off elsewhere | 02:32 |
| JCM83 | daftykins no problem. See where I posed the log? | 02:33 |
| JCM83 | posted* | 02:33 |
| JCM83 | I was hoping you could help me interpret it. | 02:33 |
| daftykins | JCM83: yeah, so it's actually loading the VESA driver as if you keep going down, lots of lines begin VESA(0) | 02:34 |
| JCM83 | I actually don't even have the VESA on my "software and updates" list of drivers :/ | 02:34 |
| daftykins | JCM83: can you check if you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 02:35 |
| daftykins | it's best if you don't | 02:35 |
| JCM83 | searching | 02:36 |
| daftykins | shouldn't need any form of search, just "ls /var/X11/" :) | 02:37 |
| daftykins | oops | 02:37 |
| daftykins | "ls /etc/X11/" | 02:37 |
| JCM83 | got it | 02:38 |
| JCM83 | I don't have xorg.conf, but I do have xorg.conf.failsafe | 02:38 |
| daftykins | that's ok then, that's how it should be | 02:39 |
| daftykins | JCM83: is it possible you didn't quite remove the proprietary nvidia driver properly? | 02:39 |
| daftykins | try "sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* | 02:40 |
| JCM83 | actually I didn't remove it at all! I just went into the "software and updates" ubuntu program/window/app (what are they called here?) and selected the nouveau and said apply changes. I actually would rather not delete the NVIDIA proprietary driver, because they were kind of a pain to find in the first place and they were working great until yesterday. | 02:41 |
| daftykins | you can't have both on at once | 02:41 |
| daftykins | that's what's causing this problem :) | 02:41 |
| daftykins | installing in future is just one command away | 02:42 |
| JCM83 | Heh. I assumed the "software and updates" app would not have them on at once? Does it not do a good job of managing which is, um, "active"? | 02:42 |
| daftykins | seems not in this case! | 02:42 |
| JCM83 | lol true | 02:42 |
| JCM83 | So how did this come to pass? Is the call for BOTH drivers still present in the booting-up sequence? | 02:43 |
| daftykins | yeah, evidenced by the fact your log tries to load 'nvidia' | 02:43 |
| JCM83 | Like the software-and-updates window/app/program didn't clear out whatever file tells the machine what to load? | 02:43 |
| JCM83 | Ah. What file is that? Why don't I just go edit it directly and remove the nvidia call? | 02:43 |
| advx_ | bye 4 now | 02:43 |
| daftykins | JCM83: it's a little deeper than this :) trust me, with nvidia installed you're going to get nowhere | 02:44 |
| daftykins | if you want nouveau, you must remove it | 02:44 |
| daftykins | that is the #1 easiest solution | 02:44 |
| mickster04 | !isitoutyet | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Yeah, yeah | 02:44 |
| JCM83 | okay. My biggest worry is that if I start uninstalling graphics drivers I'll end up like I did in the beginning when I couldn't see anything until I'd manually loaded the driver onto the USB stick I was booting from. | 02:45 |
| JCM83 | Which is not an unfixable situation it's just a huge pain in the ass | 02:45 |
| daftykins | your install is on a flash drive? | 02:45 |
| === gerald is now known as Guest75433 | ||
| JCM83 | lol no but it was when I first powered this thing up. | 02:46 |
| mickster04 | is there a release party anywhere | 02:46 |
| JCM83 | My machine is made entirely from salvaged parts. | 02:46 |
| daftykins | mickster04: you're welcome to ask such questions in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:46 |
| daftykins | this channel is for support questions only | 02:47 |
| JCM83 | Including what I'm told is a $2,000 workstation GPU, but when I got it I was just like "yo check it out this appears to have monitor plugs on the back." It has been an autodidactic journey, so forgive me if I seem obtuse. | 02:47 |
| daftykins | so it's a quadro to boot? | 02:48 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 02:48 |
| JCM83 | Hey yeah it is! | 02:48 |
| JCM83 | How did you know that? | 02:48 |
| daftykins | that's the name of nvidia workstation class GPUs | 02:48 |
| JCM83 | Hah, encyclopedic knowledge. Cool. | 02:49 |
| daftykins | anyway i have to head off now, crazy late here | 02:49 |
| daftykins | but yeah, make sure you recall how you put the nvidia driver you're using on, then kill it | 02:50 |
| derpii2 | hi can anyone tell me how to fix text rendering in gedit? http://i.imgur.com/eCq5SQm.png | 02:50 |
| daftykins | should be good from there | 02:50 |
| JCM83 | Daftykins can you answer one more? | 02:50 |
| JCM83 | Is it possible for me to just go back to only using the NVIDIA driver alone? | 02:51 |
| JCM83 | it was working fine, I only swapped long enough to try this flash rendering fix. | 02:51 |
| daftykins | JCM83: sure, just revert what you did in software sources | 02:51 |
| daftykins | well you were never truly running nouveau again of course | 02:51 |
| daftykins | you've been in VESA | 02:52 |
| JCM83 | Okay. I have to reboot to apply these driver changers right? | 02:52 |
| daftykins | ja | 02:52 |
| JCM83 | cool. Thanks daftykins | 02:53 |

| rww | Biomechd: depends on what you define as "system". freenode would be fine, I'd expect some badly-written IRC client to have trouble first | 05:41 |
| cfhowlett | Biomechd wubi is no longer supported - for that matter 12.10 is end of life | 05:41 |
| Biomechd | so basically nobody's willing to offer assistance because my ubuntu version's outdated? | 05:42 |
| rww | if by "outdated" you mean "has unpatched security vulnerabilities because it reached its pre-advertised End of Life date", yes | 05:43 |
| rww | this is, in fact, channel policy | 05:43 |

| Biomechd | huh. so i see. | 05:43 |
| cfhowlett | Biomechd options: install 12.04 or 13.10 and STRONGLY consider dual booting so you can get away from your unsupported wubi | 05:44 |

| tbclycan | Right now I am confused on what my issue might be. My laptop got infected the other day and I figured I would just reinstall and try out Linux. First I installed Mint and it would not boot after install fully. So I decided to try Ubuntu thinking maybe something was wrong with the install disk I made. Ubuntu would not fully boot to instalation. Just like LM it would freeze and eventually just linger on a black screen. I figured the h | 05:47 |
| Biomechd | cfhowlett: a while back, someone told me that you had to migrate away from wubi in order to install anything 13.xx and up, and i know i got a migration batch file from somewhere but i'm not sure if i still have it. | 05:47 |
| tbclycan | disk could get to the installation parts on other computers, so I removed it and it booted right to mint on another PC no issue. So now I am wondering, if the harddrive is fine, what is bad? Please not the motherboard, is it the Motherboard? | 05:47 |
| tbclycan | Sorry, I need some help. | 05:48 |
| cfhowlett | Biomechd again: migrating what, exactly? Data migration is pretty easy with a USB ... | 05:48 |
| Biomechd | cfhowlett: not sure. just said migration. but it was a really long time ago, so my memory on the subject could be faulty. | 05:49 |
| cfhowlett | Biomechd let's PM this discussion ... | 05:49 |

My grandma is really nervous about xp dropping support and so i was planning on installing the ubuntu 14.04 on her system instead.. now i see the final version isnt due to the end of the month.. will it update itself to the final release through update manager? | 06:24 |
| somsip | !final | jazzzz | 06:24 |
| ubottu | jazzzz: 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. | 06:24 |

After display of splash screen it throws a black screen with some text. I had to use old kernel from GRUB list to boot now. Any ideas? | 06:47 |
| parapan | hi is anybody good with teamviewer under ubuntu ? | 06:47 |
| monkwitdafunk | Does the r9 amd video card bring out the best feature from a 600hz television? | 06:47 |
| E44 | weird I was just asking about r9 | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | shah0516 did you only kernel upgrade? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (yes, I'm taking a bit of guess here) | 06:48 |
| shah0516 | I have photo of the error message. is there any way I could reproduce to share here? | 06:48 |

| E44 | iam: but of course you should always have a dd disk image before messing around | 07:10 |

| mstaicu | Ok, so, creating a new account did the job | 07:12 |

| E44 | iam_: well, have you already identified what the drive letter is? you can find it under Gnome's disk utility | 07:12 |
| E44 | iam_: RAID setups are listed under /dev/md* i believe usually | 07:13 |
| mstaicu | But, what I noticed between those two accounts is that the one that doesn't require a password has an arrow in the input, and the one that does require a password doesn't have an arrow | 07:13 |
| mstaicu | What does this mean? | 07:13 |
| mstaicu | They don't have automatic loggin | 07:13 |
| mstaicu | Neither one of them | 07:13 |
| E44 | iam_: sometimes motherboard settings being set on RAID instead of ACH can effect whether or not the OS can see the drive as well | 07:13 |

| mishravikas | hey, am facing problem in connecting to a wifi network in ubuntu can anyone please help me? | 08:39 |
| bazhang | mishravikas, what does sudo dhclient wlan0 return (or whatever the name of the nic) | 08:40 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: its not showing anything just cursor is blinking | 08:42 |
| bazhang | mishravikas, does ifconfig -a show eth0 lo and the wireless device | 08:43 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: http://pastebin.com/hcXeATDB here's the output | 08:44 |
| bazhang | mishravikas, does it show or not | 08:44 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: it shows eth0 and lo and wlan0 | 08:45 |
| bazhang | mishravikas, is the wlan usb or pci, and which chipset | 08:45 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: the problem is that when I click on some network after it shows up in available networks it asks for password and after entering password it takes some time and then shows disconnected | 08:47 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: and sometimes it gets connected | 08:47 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: its pci | 08:48 |
| bazhang | mishravikas, sounds like an issue with signal strength then | 08:48 |
| mishravikas | bazhang: signal is max the router is kept in the same room and my phone connects easily | 08:48 |

| VictorBjelkholm | hello everyone! Something went wrong when I changed my password with passwd because now I can't mount my encrypted home folder.

| maedox | bekks: whatever you do, just don't allow world access to your ntpd. | 09:46 |
| maedox | MagePsycho: not sure what you mean. blog would be a symbolic link. ln -s [src] [dest] | 09:46 |
| bekks | maedox: currently, no one can even sync with it :/ | 09:46 |
| bekks | maedox: I'll restrict access to my local network once I can even sync. | 09:46 |

| maedox | bekks: I'm not too good with ntpd anyway, so sorry for the slightly off-topic. | 09:47 |
| MagePsycho | maedox: really works, tell me if thats a soft linking or hard linking | 09:47 |
| bekks | maedox: ;) | 09:47 |
| maedox | MagePsycho: symbolic/soft, that's the -s option. without options to ln you'd make a hard link. "man ln" for info | 09:48 |

| VictorBjelkholm | flummy: I changed my users password and now I cannot mount the homefolder. I'm trying to recover the passphrase from the wrapped-passphrase because I didn't write it down. Problem is that ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase don't accept my passwords | 09:51 |

| victorbjelkholm_ | so it didn't modified it when I changed the password | 10:33 |

| dv_ | anybody else having problems with USB-serial connections in ubuntu? | 10:47 |
| flummy | dv_: no, using FTDI und ACM all the time | 10:47 |
| dv_ | it seems there is a bug in the kernel in ubuntu versions since 12.10 | 10:47 |
| flummy | on 13.10 | 10:47 |
| dv_ | the ttyUSB* devices fail sometimes | 10:47 |
| flummy | and all previous versions | 10:47 |
| flummy | not for me | 10:47 |
| ikonia | dv_: never had a problem at all | 10:47 |
| dv_ | and reconnecting the usb cable afterwards shows USB errors in dmesg | 10:47 |
| ikonia | and I don't believe there is a kernal bug, as I'm using them on other distros too | 10:47 |
| ikonia | kernel too | 10:48 |
| victorbjelkholm | ls | 10:48 |
| flummy | i just have problems creating udev rules to create symlinks with fixed names according to FTDI serial numbers | 10:48 |
| dv_ | this same hardware works fine with other distros | 10:48 |
| dv_ | so it is something ubuntu specific | 10:48 |
| ikonia | dv_: not always | 10:48 |
| cfhowlett | !bug|dv_ | 10:48 |
| ubottu | dv_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 10:48 |
| flummy | cfhowlett: how does that relate to the current discussion? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | because he's being show the bug database and how to log a bug | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | flummy he's claiming a bug so I assume he wants to properly report | 10:49 |
| ikonia | seems pretty relevant | 10:49 |
| flummy | he is not claiming anything | 10:49 |
| ikonia | "I think there is a bug in the ubuntu kernel" | 10:49 |
| ikonia | seems like a bug claim to me | 10:49 |
| flummy | not to me | 10:49 |
| dv_ | no | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | flummy perhaps best to let him speak for himself? | 10:49 |
| dv_ | I am not sure if this is a bug or something else going on here | 10:49 |
| flummy | cfhowlett: it seems he just said "no" | 10:49 |
| ikonia | flummy: he also said there is a bug - so lets allow him to explain | 10:50 |
| dv_ | no, I said I think there is a bug | 10:50 |
| flummy | okay :) | 10:50 |
| * cfhowlett headbangs his keyboard | 10:50 | |
| flummy | well i happen to have plenty of experience with all kinds of serial to usb connectors | 10:50 |
| dv_ | I am not sure where though. I suspected the kernel, but since flummy does not see the same behavior, then it is somewhere else | 10:51 |
| tomodachi | & | 10:51 |
| flummy | s/connectors/converters/ | 10:51 |
| dv_ | it is really weird. at some point the device stops responding, I exit minicom (sometimes minicom hangs upon exiting), I try to reconnect the cable, and then I see in dmesg that the device cannot be enumerated | 10:51 |
| dv_ | only a reset fixes this | 10:51 |
| dv_ | and this is a pl2303 converter , so it should be well supported | 10:52 |
| flummy | dv_: try a (different) powered usb hub? | 10:52 |
| flummy | dv_: that usually happens when you exceed the power allowance | 10:52 |
| dv_ | this works sometimes, but not always. and most of the time it is only a temporary fix | 10:52 |
| flummy | e.g. by causing a temporary short | 10:52 |
| dv_ | hmm okay I will try a third hub | 10:53 |
| flummy | on the supply rails | 10:53 |
| Touhou11 | dv_: Have you tested with the most recent vanilla kernel? | 10:53 |
| flummy | Touhou11: usb 2 serial converters work with all kernels i have ever seen | 10:53 |
| flummy | (since they have usb support) | 10:53 |
| Touhou11 | flummy: Not all hardware is alike, could be poorly implementing the specification | 10:54 |
| flummy | Touhou11: there are only a few protocol converters on the market | 10:54 |
| newhoa | I'm trying to do video capture with the Hauppauge HVR-1600. I can capture the on-card encoded mpeg stream, but can't seem to capture the RAW stream. dmesg lists video0 as mpeg, video32 as YUV and video24 as PCM audio. | 10:54 |
| dv_ | ok, with another hub I get a device back, but I see no uart traffic | 10:54 |
| dv_ | I'll try again after a reset | 10:54 |
| ShawnRisk | any help with my question? | 10:55 |
| newhoa | Is there something I'm missing? Shoudn't I just be able to {cat /dev/video32 > whatever} to capture the YUV stream? | 10:55 |
| dv_ | flummy: but usb-uart converters shouldnt require much current, should they? | 10:57 |
| flummy | dv_: not at all, but users frequently cause shorts when un/plugging them | 10:57 |
| fugutive221 | If I get from svn this : svn checkout http://distcc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ distcc-read-only ; Does this get the distcc client or server or both? | 10:57 |
| flummy | dv_: i sometimes draw to much current when i supply power to a board via the usb2serial converter | 10:58 |
| dv_ | ok maybe this is what happened here and now that subsystem is in an undefined state | 10:58 |
| flummy | mhm | 10:59 |
| flummy | unplug and wait 60+s | 10:59 |
| flummy | ? | 10:59 |
| flummy | dv_: i guess you did look at the kernel log and not see anything out of the usual? | 11:01 |
| dv_ | correct | 11:01 |
| flummy | just like l2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 | 11:01 |
| dv_ | well, aside from the USB enumeration problems I mentioned | 11:02 |
| flummy | how much did you stress your usb enumerator since the last reboot? :P | 11:02 |
| dv_ | hey, I unplugged only two times :) | 11:04 |
| flummy | that does not count as much stress | 11:04 |

| daftykins | rajw93: partitions can be setup to mount in /etc/fstab , the option 'user' can be entered too so that it allows the user to access them without entering a password | 12:33 |
| ra123445555 | with my wifi connectivity | 12:33 |
| daftykins | ra123445555: you're better off looking up a WPA supplicant guide | 12:34 |
| juneyboi | @who_me | 12:35 |
| rajw93 | daftykins, ok thanks but why has this been asking for password all of sudden, previsouly it did not ask for root password when i mounted them,,, I am asking this if this might be anything related to my windows8 partition not being ablt to amount since that very point of time\ | 12:35 |
| ra123445555 | daftykins: Actually first time after switching on it works but after a disconnecting it is not detecting the wifi ap | 12:35 |
| juneyboi | if you have a moment can you message me | 12:35 |
| juneyboi | if not I completely understand | 12:35 |
| daftykins | ra123445555: oh, so nothing to do with command line connecting at all. nm then i don't know | 12:36 |
| daftykins | rajw93: i have no idea | 12:36 |
| who_me | juneyboi, did you connect your mac before connecting the linux machine ? | 12:36 |
| juneyboi | yeah the mac has always been connected | 12:36 |
| juneyboi | I built the machine from custom parts I bought in akihabara | 12:37 |
| daftykins | ... you can't connect both at once though? :P | 12:37 |
| who_me | juneyboi, then, it's proper to "hang-up" the connection before trying to connect another machine via pppoe. I do not know what the equivalent is for a mac... maybe "disconnect" | 12:38 |
| juneyboi | who_me I just did this "sudo service network-manager restart" | 12:38 |
| juneyboi | Im gonna try to create a new dsl connection | 12:39 |
| Mace268 | Hello, I'm getting this error when trying to update software. "The upgrade needs a total of 59.1 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 9,317 k of disk space on '/boot'." | 12:39 |
| Mace268 | how do i free space on /boot? | 12:39 |
| who_me | juneyboi, if the mac is connected, use the disconnect or equivalent before pulling out the cable from it | 12:39 |
| juneyboi | ah | 12:40 |
| daftykins | Mace268: delete some old kernels. can you pastebin "ls -l /boot" ? | 12:40 |
| juneyboi | so if I still have a mac connection active it will mess things up? | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | Mace268 delete old kernels | 12:40 |
| sarir | Mace268: you could remove old versions of the kernel that where left after an update | 12:40 |
| daftykins | there's an echo in here again | 12:40 |
| who_me | juneyboi, pppoe connection can act up if you just yank the cable from one machine and try to connect another one | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | Mace268 http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-uninstall-the-old-kernels-in-ubuntu/ | 12:40 |
| juneyboi | no no its a separate cable | 12:41 |
| juneyboi | my router thing has 4 connections | 12:41 |
| Mace268 | yeah there are lots of kernel versions there, i'll check that guide | 12:41 |
| Mace268 | six kernels to be exact lol | 12:41 |
| who_me | juneyboi, does your router act as a bridge or does it do the PPPoE auth itself | 12:42 |
| who_me | ? | 12:42 |
| sarir | ubuntu doesn't clean up well by default | 12:42 |

| daftykins | *remove | 12:42 |
| Mace268 | ok i'll do that, thanks for the help :) | 12:42 |
| who_me | juneyboi, also, you can't connect the linux machine while the other one is still connected | 12:42 |
| juneyboi | I can have multiple connections running from this same router I had it working fine before | 12:43 |
| juneyboi | I did this just now sudo service network-manager restart | 12:43 |
| juneyboi | perhaps I can reconnect now the way I did before | 12:43 |
| daftykins | so now you tell us it's a router - you don't need to do PPPoE auth from a connected computer if it's a router | 12:43 |
| daftykins | juneyboi: what IP does the mac you're on right now show? an internal LAN IP like 192.168.x.x or the same IP as your internet facing one such as whatismyip.com reports? | 12:44 |
| juneyboi | Im OK I will check | 12:44 |
| who_me | daftykins, the router may be configured as abridge device... | 12:45 |
| who_me | a bridge* | 12:45 |
| juneyboi | Yes, Its a LAN type number | 12:45 |
| who_me | juneyboi, type the address here | 12:46 |
| juneyboi | 169.254.226.102 | 12:46 |
| who_me | yeah | 12:46 |
| who_me | juneyboi, don't configure the DSL connection, go to Wired and set it up to automatically get IP and namserver info via dhcp | 12:47 |
| trusty | juneyboi: you are using static ip without a router | 12:47 |
| juneyboi | so do it via dhcp | 12:48 |
| juneyboi | ok I will try that | 12:48 |
| juneyboi | wired connection and etc | 12:48 |
| who_me | juneyboi, can't hurt to try | 12:48 |
| === mudo_ is now known as mudo | ||
| Mace268 | ok i've removed the old linux-image-* but what about the linux-image-extra-* ? | 12:50 |
| juneyboi | it says automatic(dhcp) | 12:50 |
| who_me | juneyboi, does it get an ip ? | 12:50 |
| juneyboi | should I tick the "require IPv4 addressing" | 12:50 |
| juneyboi | ? | 12:50 |
| daftykins | Mace268: you can run an apt-get autoremove after that to clear some other items, but no reason to run anything else | 12:50 |
| who_me | juneyboi, nah | 12:51 |
| cfhowlett | Mace268 sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get purge | 12:51 |
| Mace268 | thanks again guys :) | 12:51 |
| juneyboi | that didnt work | 12:52 |

| jhutchins | zsuper: Sounds like the modem is in bridged mode. Only way to be sure is to try to connect with the internal address (the one on the computer). | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mabus: just select the drive as the destination when you install the OS, treat it like a 'normal' drive | 14:36 |
| zsuper | jhutchins how do i do that | 14:36 |
| jhutchins | zsuper: ping? ssh? | 14:36 |
| brothersome | mabus: Look for grub4dos, I like puppylinux for an installation. | 14:36 |

| zsuper | when i ping from another computer to the one whith the modem, it's said no host | 14:36 |
| zsuper | for both addresses | 14:37 |
| jhutchins | zsuper: I support an office that has a connection like that, you can "see" the modem at it's external address, but we don't have any login on it; you can also "see" the internal address that is the router connected to the modem. | 14:37 |

| cds | will there be a clear upgrade path from 14.04 beta -> 14.04 ? | 14:44 |
| DJones | !final | cds | 14:44 |
| ubottu | cds: 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. | 14:44 |

| lubuntozz_ | when i install lubuntu on my pc whitout official drivero of nvidia, it work fine. but when i install official driver of nvidea my lubuntu don't restart and don't shut down | 14:49 |
| [Gentoo] | nvidia driver seems to mess everyones ubuntu up | 14:50 |
| ikonia | it works fine as long as it supports your card | 14:50 |
| ikonia | or you don't use an external site provided one | 14:51 |
| [Gentoo] | apparently it dont | 14:51 |
| xMopxShell | anyone know if there is a quicker way to find all links to a file besides find -samefile? | 14:51 |
| lubuntozz_ | when it don't shut down i need to pull the power button on the pc | 14:52 |
| lubuntozz_ | and when i restart it my audio don't work | 14:52 |
| jhutchins | [Gentoo]: There is a wide range of hardware implementation and possible combinations with motherboards. Some work well, some don't. | 14:52 |
| ikonia | and it's not "nvidia+ubuntu" it's "nvidia" | 14:53 |
| TJ- | xMopxShell: Not unless the system keeps a db indexed on inode | 14:53 |
| xMopxShell | alright | 14:53 |
| [Gentoo] | no its nvidia and ubuntu, something to do with the way its automated | 14:53 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: what's automated ? | 14:53 |
| lubuntozz_ | ikonia: [Gentoo] can help me to solve this problem? | 14:53 |
| ikonia | lubuntozz_: what problem ? | 14:53 |
| lubuntozz_ | i can be crazy whit it :S | 14:54 |
| [Gentoo] | ikonia: the amount of people who complain about black screen / funny res / all other sorts of issues after installing / uninstall nvidia driver on ubuntu | 14:54 |
| lubuntozz_ | ikonia: my lubuntu don't restart and don't shut down | 14:54 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: yes, because their hardware is not supported | 14:54 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: it's common on other distros | 14:54 |
| [Gentoo] | nvidia driver supports almost every card | 14:54 |
| ikonia | no, it doesn't | 14:54 |
| [Gentoo] | and its nowhere near as common | 14:54 |
| ikonia | that's why there are multiple versions | 14:55 |
| ikonia | and they are also linked against a kernel interface + xorg | 14:55 |
| jhutchins | ikonia: Yeah, the nouveau driver does. | 14:55 |
| === undefined is now known as Guest2985 | ||
| ikonia | jhutchins: that's not the "nvidia" driver | 14:55 |

| [Gentoo] | dont know | 14:57 |
| lubuntozz_ | in this grub i have changed some lines because lubuntu give me bad splash screen | 14:57 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: right, so %99 is just a made up number | 14:57 |
| lubuntozz_ | whit nvidia driver | 14:57 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: the other thing to consider if the framebuffer config | 14:57 |
| [Gentoo] | ikonia: im not arguing, just saying, almost every time i join this room, someone has a problem with nvidia driver and black screen or some other serious issue | 14:58 |
| [Gentoo] | from either installing or uninstalling nvidia | 14:58 |
| edinny | How do I stop automatic logout after inactivity? | 14:58 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: yes, and when you look at the problems, a good chunk are either a.) framebuffer b.) external nvidia module c.) unsupported higher end card d.) incorrect/failed install/config | 14:58 |

| glambert | playing around with the "screen" tool, how do you exit from viewing a screen without killing it's process? | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntozz_: does the open source driver do what you need? | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntozz_: or do you use a lot of 3D games? | 15:07 |
| ikonia | frank_o: sudo -i and normally the global files such as /etc/* are sourced from the ~/.local_to_the_user file, etc ~/.bashrc sources ~/.bash_profile (or the other way around) and /etc/$something | 15:07 |
| ikonia | frank_o: could be different (as you suggest on zsh) | 15:08 |
| lubuntozz_ | i need to use proprietary drivers | 15:08 |
| frank_o | ikonia: /etc/zshrc is the standard file on zsh afaik | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | lubuntozz_: what for? | 15:08 |
| ikonia | frank_o: probably not sourcing it then as you're not invoking a login shell | 15:08 |
| glambert | ah, CTRL+a then d and it detached | 15:08 |
| njbair | frank_o: ~/.zshrc | 15:08 |

| llutz | riceandbeans: does ubuntu-server come with nm at all? | 19:30 |
| riceandbeans | llutz: this is some ubuntu spin off that was demanded for this server | 19:30 |

| Busybyeski | i have this idea of an alias that opens a regular todo.txt in my home directory, and upon editing/closing, then copies the contents of that file to some sort of datestamped backup file. would i use && or ; for this "wait" period? | 20:30 |
| omar_ | Hi all. | 20:31 |
| zaxababee | what is the easiest programming language to learn to do this? not sure if it can be done inside libreoffice-writer or not? | 20:32 |
| omar_ | Is there a way to have a command (or a set of commands) execute at every start up? | 20:32 |
| omar_ | or more, accurately: How do I do this..? | 20:33 |
| njkj | Busybyeski: && is only run if the editor returns with the exitcode 0, ; is always run after the editor closes, regardless of the exit code. unless your editor uses exit codes (I think most don't) it doesn't matter | 20:33 |
| tinkerbot | zaxababee: have you checked out there API? (http://api.libreoffice.org/) | 20:34 |

| Scriptonaut | for standard ml | 21:23 |
| zshawn | Scriptonaut: and for little binaries for maybe a user who does building i like to put in ~/bin | 21:23 |
| zshawn | and ~/bin can be earlier in path and therefore you can override newer or older versions of utilities in the system by putting them in there | 21:23 |

| dw1 | make install figure it out later :p | 21:25 |
| chiefw0tj | zshawn, yes...that's it. | 21:25 |
| zshawn | ~/bin is for user's personal utilities and /opt is for optional software (like stuff which isnt part of the system per se) | 21:25 |

| Scriptonaut | ah | 21:41 |
| Scriptonaut | odd how so many of the stack overflow posts have that | 21:41 |
| jhutchins | Scriptonaut: If you set it in a script, then it would be un-set when the script ended unless it exported it. | 21:41 |
| Jordan_U | jhutchins: That's not about exporting vs not, that's about executing vs sourcing a script. No process can change the environment of its parent, export or no. | 21:43 |

| mabus | dont ask to ask, ask | 21:44 |
| Jordan_U | Scriptonaut: By the way, your actual problem with $PATH="$PATH:/opt/sml/bin" is that you only use '$' at the beginning of a variable when expanding its contents, not when setting it. So the line should have been: PATH="$PATH:/opt/sml/bin" | 21:44 |

| Jordan_U | Scriptonaut: For your current shell, you can just "source ~/.profile" | 21:46 |
| Scriptonaut | yay that worked, thanks | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | Scriptonaut: That will affect all child processes spawned from that shell, but nothing else. | 21:47 |
| Scriptonaut | there's no man page for source | 21:47 |
| Scriptonaut | what does it do | 21:47 |
| Jordan_U | Scriptonaut: help source | 21:47 |
| Scriptonaut | oh cool | 21:47 |
| Jordan_U | Scriptonaut: You'll find that the main reason why basic commands, like "cd" and "source", don't have their own man page is that they're not separate binaries but rather shell builtin commands. "help foo" in bash gets you information about the builtin command "foo". | 21:49 |
| Scriptonaut | I should have known that, I wrote a shell not long ago | 21:49 |
| xenolyse_ | Hi guys! So I did just discover something horrifying about Ubuntu 13.10 and Google Chrome. It eats away all my SSD disk space. Why is that? Here is a picture from Disk Usage Analyser showing my problem. http://i.imgur.com/sqdxgA5.png What can I do to stop this behavior from Chrome? | 21:52 |
| sadpuppy | feed it | 21:53 |
| Artemis3 | xenolyse_, i guess it might have some form of disk cache | 21:53 |
| NotANick | xenolyse_: That's a extension, isn't it? | 21:54 |
| xenolyse_ | Well, even if i clear my browsing data (History, cached images and files, hosted app data...) it stays put | 21:54 |
| andygraybeal | can someone explain why making random numbers is not good on a VM as opposed to a one that isn't a VM? | 21:55 |
| NotANick | Yes, it's part of an extension so it probably won't clean that, it won't know what it is. | 21:55 |
| speiros | What is a hashsum mismatch, and how is it affecting my upgrades, or isi t? | 21:56 |
| TYDIRocks | Can someone tell me how to get libopenssl-dev? I added the http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian into sources.list and apt says it still can't locate it | 21:56 |
| xenolyse_ | Im not running any extensions apart from adblock, res and pushbullet. | 21:56 |
| OerHeks | speiros, bad download, the control number is different than the count of bytes | 21:56 |
| Artemis3 | speiros, try; refreshing; changing mirror then refreshing | 21:56 |
| jhutchins | speiros: it means that the package (or key) being checked does not match the characteristics listed on the source. | 21:57 |
| jhutchins | speiros: Either the package was corrupted during download, or was damaged on the server. | 21:57 |
| speiros | Thanks OerHeks Artemis3 and jhutchins. | 21:57 |
| speiros | How do I refresh it? | 21:57 |
| OerHeks | so it affects, yes | 21:57 |

| Artemis3 | speiros, update-manager shows this button (and a configuration button that would let you change mirror) | 21:59 |
| k1l | TYDIRocks: why do you need that? | 21:59 |
| speiros | Artemis3 Thanks, yes, it so far seems to be working... | 21:59 |
| k1l | TYDIRocks: and putting debian sources into ubuntu will break stuff. didnt you find something usefull in libssl-dev? | 22:00 |
| TYDIRocks | k1l, I'm just following this guide and it said a dependency was libopenssl-dev, can I use libssl-dev insteal? | 22:00 |

| OerHeks | sounds like shared printer ( option) | 22:07 |

| me_ | Hey, ummm I am on Peppermint 3. Nobody seems to over on that channel. I have 500mb memory on this computer and youtube videos are a bit choppy. Peppermint already came with a flashplayer. Is there a way to get an earlier version? I think Antix is set up with older versions for old computers. | 22:08 |
| selina345 | hi i need to increase the disk space alotted for ubuntu on vbox | 22:08 |

| me_ | Does anyone know how to get an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player? | 22:16 |
| speiros | It's telling me to check my internet connection...I presume I'm on there, considering I'm on here, and won't upgrade. | 22:16 |

| speiros | Into terminal? | 22:26 |
| speiros | Jordan_U what is the command that I need to type into terminal once I've completed each one? | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | speiros: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo apt-get update 2>&1 | pastebinit && sudo apt-get upgrade 2>&1 | pastebinit". Or you can just copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com . | 22:29 |
| speiros | Ok, thanks | 22:30 |
| me_ | Soooo, does anyone know how to get an earlier version of flash player? | 22:32 |
| zerooneone | quick question: when i log in via ssh, the message displays packages that need upgrading. where is this command called from? and why are the packages need upgrading not the same as when i run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ?? | 22:33 |
| Jordan_U | me_: What is your end goal? Using outdated versions of software, especially flash, is insecure. | 22:33 |
| me_ | Well, Jordan_U, I have 500 mb memory. I put Peppermint 3 on this old machine after having Antix which is a bit hard to use. Antix uses older versions of Flash for older computers. Youtube videos are a bit jerky. | 22:34 |
| speiros | Jordan_U I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/7200861/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/720064/ | 22:35 |

| daftykins | run "pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal | 22:54 |
| speiros | Thanks | 22:54 |
| speiros | daftykins http://paste.ubuntu.com/7200939/ | 22:55 |
| daftykins | speiros: so what are you actually up to right now? :) | 22:56 |
| daftykins | what were you doing? | 22:56 |
| speiros | daftykins Do you mean online? | 22:57 |
| speiros | daftykins because technically speaking, right now I'm reading a music book. | 22:58 |
| speiros | but online, I had my emails open, and had reverbnation open. | 22:58 |
| daftykins | speiros: that's quite amusing, but i was hoping you'd explain what you did prior to this little ubuntu problem you're having happened | 22:58 |
| Tristin | Hello everyone | 22:58 |
| speiros | daftykins, that is exactly what I was doing. | 22:59 |
| speiros | daftykins I write songs | 22:59 |
| Tristin | So I have been tring to install Ubuntu with the windows installer, I get all the way to 99% and get this error. https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1.0-9/1545032_10152233672702039_682748000_n.jpg | 22:59 |
| Tristin | anyone know what it means? | 23:00 |
| speiros | daftykins the reason it all came about is because the page was getting really hard to go back to as I was contacting people | 23:00 |
| daftykins | 22:42 < speiros> I can't update my ubuntu 12:4, and I can't send any reports. Can anyone help me with this please? | 23:00 |
| speiros | daftykins next thing a red no entry sign popped up. | 23:00 |
| daftykins | speiros: i was hoping you were going to just tell me the above ^ | 23:01 |
| daftykins | speiros: do you have an ubuntu CD in your CD drive right now? | 23:01 |
| speiros | daftykins No, but it can be arranged. | 23:01 |
| daftykins | speiros: no no, no need. | 23:02 |
| speiros | daftykins when I log on it asks me about cryptswap not being ready or something...I thought it was my external back up driver that I sometimes use. | 23:02 |
| speiros | ...or related to that | 23:02 |
| daftykins | speiros: the things you are saying right now are unrelated to being able to update or not, i suggest we focus on one thing at a time | 23:02 |
| speiros | daftykins I have no clue as to why I can't update at all, but I thought these might be factors. | 23:03 |
| cyford | urgg my computer is using a dns other that the one i provided | 23:03 |
| cyford | i added a local dns, | 23:03 |
| daftykins | speiros: let's start simple. can you click system settings from the launcher on the left, followed by the 'software sources' item? | 23:03 |
| speiros | daftykins ok, done | 23:04 |
| daftykins | speiros: do you see this kind of window? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=SoftwareSources-UbuntuSoftware.png | 23:04 |
| cyford | nslookup is displaying 127.0.0.1, but the ipaddress igs getting it from a public dns some how | 23:05 |
| Aquamarine | I wrote a program in Windows and want to port it to ubuntu, it uses OpenGL 2.1, but ubuntu's GL/gl.h is ogl 1... where do i find modern headers? | 23:06 |
| cyford | wow now it switched on its own | 23:06 |
| speiros | daftykins No, it is more like the mac finder or system settings | 23:06 |
| daftykins | speiros: right but inside that window you should be able to find a 'software' related item to click yes? | 23:06 |
| daftykins | speiros: 'Software Sources' | 23:08 |
| speiros | daftykins No software sources. | 23:08 |
| speiros | Only Personal, Hardware and System | 23:08 |
| Aquamarine | /usr/include/GL/gl.h is OpenGL1, I need OpenGL 2+ header, what do? I don't knwow aht package has newer ehaders, tried mesa-dev, got that old thing | 23:09 |
| daftykins | speiros: are you using something other than unity? | 23:09 |
| speiros | daftykins I also started typing in the searchbar and when I reached "sof", the screen had nothing to search for in there. What is Unity? | 23:10 |
| speiros | daftykins I am running 12:4 LTS | 23:10 |
| daftykins | speiros: nevermind, can you click the dash icon top left then type 'software sources' and run that program? | 23:11 |
| zubuntu | hi | 23:11 |

| cyford | is there a way to hard code primary dns, and have a backup thats safe for ubuntu | 23:15 |
| daftykins | speiros: no i was hoping for the 'software sources' program. ok, ignore that, can you type 'software-properties-gtk' in that dash instead? | 23:16 |
| speiros | Ok | 23:16 |
| daftykins | cyford: cyford have a look at https://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | 23:16 |

| daftykins | cyford: crazy isn't it. used to be so simple :( | 23:19 |
| speiros | daftykins Yes, it has the CDrom in there...do you want specifics, or untick it, or anything? | 23:19 |
| daftykins | speiros: untick please | 23:20 |
| cyford | yeah , i have 3 networks in here, laptop is on comcast, but i am vpn to work | 23:20 |

| ikonia | why are you repeating the same question | 23:31 |
| frank_o | ikonia: We never came up with a solution | 23:31 |
| ikonia | more so when I told you the sudo command you where using was wrong | 23:31 |

| ikonia | frank_o: no, it's not | 23:35 |
