| |jemc| | I've been told ubuntu doesn't use the "vanilla" kernel by default - how do I install and use the "vanilla" kernel instead on my desktop? | 00:03 |

| Alue | okay done.i have got the cursor blinking after - checking battery status... And a couple of OK on the extreme right hand side. | 00:04 |
| TJ- | |jemc|: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 00:04 |
| litropy | Alue, okay, let me know if anything doesn't say OK | 00:04 |
| litropy | Alue, note: you could have tried another sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade beofre startx, but I just want to see what happens when you try to load your graphics environment. | 00:06 |
| Alue | I have connected the power plug. And my battery is on.but there is no progress after - checking battery status... | 00:06 |
| litropy | beofre* | 00:06 |
| |jemc| | TJ-: thanks | 00:06 |
| litropy | Alue, do you know what I mean when I say, "Text cursor" ? | 00:07 |
| Alue | yeah | 00:07 |
| litropy | Alue, is there anything to the left of your text cursor? | 00:08 |
| Alue | no | 00:08 |
| Alue | the cursor it at extreme lower left. | 00:08 |
| litropy | Alue, it seems you need to reinstall your graphics drivers. Give me a sec. | 00:09 |
| Alue | there is still no progress to checking battery status... | 00:09 |
| litropy | Alue, there won't be. | 00:10 |
| litropy | Alue, hang on | 00:10 |
| Alue | ??? | 00:11 |
| litropy | Alue, press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F2]. It should bring you to a command prompt | 00:12 |
| litropy | Alue, if it doesn't, press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[Fn]+[F2] | 00:13 |
| Alue | no there's nothing happening. my screen is stuck at checking battery status. | 00:14 |
| litropy | Alue, alrighty. Welp, I'm guessing in updating, you also updated your graphics drivers or xorg.conf, and now it's borked. Give me a bit and I'll find some things for you to try. Other chan members, feel free to chime in. Alue is running 12.04. | 00:17 |
| Alue | but what about my screen??? it's still stuck at checking battery status. | 00:18 |
| litropy | Alue, it's done checking battery status. The next step is loading your video driver, and it's hung on that step. | 00:20 |
| Alue | okay. | 00:20 |
| Alue | I am waiting | 00:20 |
| euryale | Is there aimp3 version for linux?? | 00:22 |
| litropy | Alue, what is the make and model of your computer? | 00:26 |
| litropy | euryale, not made by that company, no. | 00:27 |
| Alue | dell,1tb hd,6gb ram,2gb graphics, intel i5. | 00:28 |
| litropy | Alue, I need the model number, please | 00:28 |
| litropy | Alue, something like Inspirion 2000 | 00:29 |
| Ri221 | Hello. I have a swap file configured as a test. Why is the swap memory used although only 1GB of my 8GB RAM is used? | 00:29 |
| euryale | ok thanks litropy. is there similar player for ubuntu ? | 00:29 |
| habanany | cant access ubuntu partition folders from mint dual boot | 00:30 |
| Alue | it's dell inspiron 15-3537 | 00:30 |
| litropy | euryale, I've been thinking about that ever since you asked your initial question. I'm not aware of one ... I use VLC, which is great, but it's basic. | 00:30 |
| litropy | Alue, hang on | 00:30 |
| Player | I would say VLC's basic, it's got a very nice/sophisticated EQ | 00:31 |
| Player | I like it's 2-pass mode. | 00:31 |
| litropy | euryale, as far as its interface goes. VLC is a powerhouse under the hood. | 00:31 |
| litropy | Player, hah you're ahead of me - I was just about to check if it had a GUI EQ. | 00:31 |
| litropy | Alue, I'm checking your model's credentials | 00:32 |
| habanany | meant to say i cant access folders in ubuntu from linuxmint partition on adual boot | 00:32 |
| Alue | okay, I'm waiting. | 00:32 |
| * litropy 's blown internal hard drive is trying to initialize again. Poor thing. | 00:33 | |

| Nytram | litropy, back-up asap | 00:37 |
| litropy | Nytram, I did. And then I left it in there to hear it die. | 00:37 |
| Nytram | lol | 00:38 |
| Nytram | Sadist | 00:38 |
| Player | litropy : yeah it's got a sophisticated EQ (especially compared to a CAR), compressor, and spatializer | 00:38 |
| Player | I'd say the only feature it lacks that I really wish it didn't would be gapless playback, or even the option of having cheap cross fades between tracks | 00:38 |
| litropy | Alue, please follow this guide. On step 5, follow for AMD/ATI: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error | 00:38 |
| Nytram | I threw a 'dead' hdd (wouldn't partition or accept a new partition table) into a new PC for a laugh and a play. Win XP, Arch, Manjaro, opensuse, Mint and ubuntu could not install to it. Kubuntu did and didn't even flinch in the process. I need to think about that one. oO | 00:41 |
| litropy | Player, VLC is open-source. I'm just armchairing, but it shouldn't take much to load a file into buffer for instant playback, nor play consecutive audio streams for crossfading. I'll look into it. | 00:43 |
| litropy | Nytram, that's strange. Of all flavors ... | 00:44 |
| litropy | O | 00:44 |
| TJ- | Nytram: Was there a cold start before the Kubuntu installer session but only warm reboots for the others? | 00:44 |
| TJ- | Nytram: I've seen hard disks get into a confused state like that which a power-off reset has cured | 00:45 |
| Nytram | Nope, I did cold and warm at least three attempts on ALL distros. | 00:45 |
| Nytram | I was 'testing' afterall. | 00:45 |
| Nytram | I'm loath to try one of the other distros again now, just in case it breaks again LOL | 00:46 |
| Nytram | It was a throw away play thing for the afternoon, but now it's going to be my multimedia system in my gym. 8) | 00:46 |
| litropy | Nytram, until it spontaneously corrupts, sending full-volume corrupted audio straight through your speaker cones :P | 00:49 |
| litropy | One more time for this question: | 00:50 |
| litropy | When I click the time in the upper-right, the calendar shows, and that's a good thing because I like to use a calendar. But why on earth is a different day highlighted as opposed to the current day? I understand this is for selecting days to "Add an event", but the current day has no special indicator at all. So if I were to briefly look at my calendar, I would think it's April 11th. April 10th has no highlight, no marker of any kind. | 00:50 |

| xutl | how to add a ppa offline ? | 01:11 |
| litropy | rubito, #c++ | 01:11 |
| rubito | I went into ##c++ | 01:11 |
| TJ- | teaearlgraycold: define "clear" ? You want to ensure they can't be read after their memory allocation has been freed? | 01:11 |
| litropy | rubito, that's the place :-) | 01:12 |
| rubito | litropy, awesome! | 01:13 |
| teaearlgraycold | TJ-: I don't think that's necessary. I'm writing my first class and I'm told that I need to have a destructor. I assume that I need to clear the variable. Is that proper form? | 01:13 |
| === ubuntukylin64 is now known as lixiaoling | ||
| === Tyrant|away is now known as Tyrantelf | ||
| TJ- | teaearlgraycold: Not usually. The destructor usually frees up manually allocated memory, and will 'zero' or randomise the values of memory blocks and variables before release so that other processes can't inadvertently access the values | 01:15 |
| litropy | teaearlgraycold, a destructor for the class? That would be ~myclass(); I'm pretty sure | 01:15 |
| TJ- | teaearlgraycold: If you're not doing any manual allocation of memory, or managing your own file handles, then generally a default destructor is all that is needed | 01:16 |
| teaearlgraycold | litropy: yeah I have that already. I've manually cleared a private vector but there are a few private strings as well. | 01:16 |
| litropy | teaearlgraycold, are you using std lib? | 01:17 |
| teaearlgraycold | TJ-: so I can have it pretty much blank? | 01:17 |
| teaearlgraycold | litropy: no | 01:17 |
| TJ- | teaearlgraycold: See http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/destructor | 01:17 |

| litropy | teaearlgraycold, for instance, in Qt, I need to kill timers and delete ui in my MainWindow destructor. So it depends on the lib, I'd say. | 01:18 |

| xar- | teaearlgraycold: indeed | 01:25 |
| teaearlgraycold | apb1963: open up alsa sound manager or your audio manager of choice | 01:26 |

| gvo | apb1963: Means you did select a different device somehow. | 01:49 |
| apb1963 | gvo: It may have been the F6... but I put it back to the default where it was... and still no joy | 01:50 |

| xar- | mapp: example: dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com +short | 02:05 |
| john2x_ | xar-: here are the last couple of lines of mail.log https://www.refheap.com/74729 (no errors in mail.err) | 02:06 |
| mapp | aha | 02:06 |
| mapp | thats a lot easier hey | 02:06 |
| mapp | the result it returns is easier to assign to a var saves me using grep and cut etc | 02:06 |
| xar- | john2x_: I'm assuming your domain has been redacted? gsmtp says it received it, looks fine to me | 02:07 |
| xar- | mapp: yup | 02:07 |
| john2x_ | xar-: yes, redacted. which line is it? | 02:07 |
| john2x_ | ah line 4? | 02:08 |
| xar- | john2x_: doesn't matter, gsmtp says it has it, did you look in spam? | 02:08 |
| xar- | OK 1397181627 mx10si5254739icb.140 - gsmtp | 02:08 |
| john2x_ | xar-: ah yes, it's in spam :) thanks | 02:08 |
| mapp | xar- quick question..how could i cut say the 2nd line of an output? say i ran nslookup frogs.zapto.org | grep Address | - im going to use dig +short way better but m still interested | 02:08 |
| xar- | john2x_: you're welcome. | 02:09 |
| mapp | how would i be able to get say the second line and then cut it | 02:09 |
| gvo | nslookup xxx|head -2| tail -1 | 02:10 |
| mapp | Thanks so i need to read on head | 02:10 |
| mapp | thanks gvo | 02:10 |
| xar- | mapp: lots of ways, but easiest dirty way? $ nslookup frogs.zapto.org | grep Address | tail -n1 | awk '{print $2}' | 02:10 |
| mapp | ah ok i was wondering on awk too, just been reading up on it | 02:10 |
| mapp | whats sed used for? | 02:10 |
| xar- | stream editing; but this channel is ubuntu support, not linux tutorial. | 02:11 |
| xar- | best to go to #ubuntu-offtopic or #linux | 02:11 |
| mapp | yea, sorry | 02:11 |
| xar- | np :) | 02:11 |
| mapp | :) | 02:11 |
| gvo | Make that ##linux | 02:12 |
| john2x_ | what's a good guide on setting up a private proxy server on Ubuntu (on EC2)? I found one that uses tinyproxy, is this good? | 02:12 |
| xar- | gvo: it should redirect to the proper destination ;) | 02:12 |
| gvo | OK | 02:12 |
| xar- | john2x_: if you have ssh listening presumably, tunnel over ssh. | 02:12 |
| pnorman | I have a slightly odd graphical problem on my laptop running 13.04. Most text isn't displaying, including anything on the top of windows. Neither are any icons for closing windows. Some is however, including XTerm, all the text under activities, and everything off of the top bar. | 02:15 |
| xar- | sounds bad | 02:15 |
| pnorman | I'm slightly befuddled. I haven't used the laptop in a bit so I'm running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but on airport wifi it'll take another 7 minutes | 02:15 |
| MrSelfDestruct | Yeah | 02:15 |
| john2x_ | xar-: hmm I want it so anyone (non-technical people) in the office can easily use it.. (I heard there are browser extensions to do that?) | 02:16 |
| xar- | john2x_: perhaps a more integrated solution, openvpn for instance? | 02:16 |
| rictoo | hey guys, i would like to grep one file for a list of things to grep another file for. how would i go about doing this? | 02:16 |
| rictoo | i have this so far: grep "succinate-CoA ligase, ADP-forming, beta" GPL2004-3450.txt | awk '{print $1}' | 02:16 |
| rictoo | i would like to take the outputs of this (about 10 lines) and grep another file for each of those | 02:17 |
| xar- | john2x_: if you have a decent cisco hardware firewall at AWS, you can use the cisco vpn features too *shrug* | 02:17 |
| MrSelfDestruct | #Ubuntu today: Bash and Bash and Bash... | 02:17 |
| pnorman | rictoo: I'd probably suggest #grep. If I were doing it I'd proably do grep | xargs grep, but I dunno if that's optimal | 02:18 |
| pnorman | Also, the XTerm application works but Terminal doesn't | 02:21 |
| ice9 | I see this line "test -e /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key || dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server" in /etc/rc.local, what does it do? | 02:22 |
| chicognu | so, after i boot up wifi conects automatic. Great. But i cant browser anything before I reconnect | 02:23 |
| __paleo__ | In order to patch heartbleed in an Ubuntu webserver, do I need to upgrade only OpenSSL or do I need to upgrade nginx and Apache as well? | 02:24 |
| xar- | __paleo__: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2165-1/ | 02:24 |
| __paleo__ | xar-: so if I upgrade OpenSSL (which I already did) and restart nginx/Apache, I am safe? | 02:25 |
| xar- | __paleo__: not necessarily; *any* service linked against the bad openssl version needs to be restarted. | 02:26 |
| __paleo__ | OK, but I don't need to upgrade nginx if OpenSSL is at the 1.0.1g level on Ubuntu, correct? | 02:26 |
| xar- | __paleo__: if you suspect leakage, you should toss your old private keys and regenerate. | 02:26 |
| __paleo__ | We'll do that. | 02:26 |
| xar- | If nginx has open processes linked against openssl, prior to your update, it needs to be restarted. | 02:27 |
| litropy | xar-, we should get an OP to update the MOTD with that link. | 02:27 |
| xar- | we should get people to *READ* | 02:27 |
| xar- | how about that? lol | 02:27 |
| trism | ice9: that just checks if your ssh host key exists and if not regenerates it and then restarts sshd | 02:27 |
| apb1963 | gvo: For the record, alsa -l lists my device as: card 1: Set [C-Media USB Headphone Set], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] | 02:27 |
| pnorman | I see the topic says 12.10 and 13.10 are supported. Is 13.04 EOL? | 02:28 |
| xar- | pnorman: 13.04 was EOL on Jan 2014 | 02:28 |
| pnorman | When is 12.10 EOL? | 02:29 |
| xar- | pnorman: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 02:29 |
| xar- | it's all right there, in a nice pretty chart | 02:29 |
| litropy | pnorman, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 02:29 |
| Beldar | pnorman, 12.10 this month, 13.04 has no support in general. | 02:29 |
| pnorman | xar-: The above text problem includes text in browsers | 02:30 |
| xar- | I have a short term irc memory pnorman ;) | 02:32 |
| AcidRain2012 | im running multiple monitors. how do i make it so when i click on a certain icon, that window will open on the desktop that i opened it on | 02:33 |
| xar- | wishful thinking AcidRain2012 :) | 02:34 |
| litropy | AcidRain2012, it depends on what you're opening | 02:34 |
| Atrophied | Anyone know how to get proprietary drivers for amd working on 12.04? | 02:34 |
| AcidRain2012 | litropy, i want it to apply to EVERYTHING | 02:34 |
| AcidRain2012 | if i open dolphin on monitor 1. i want it to do it | 02:34 |
| AcidRain2012 | if i open dolphin on monitor 2. i wnat it to happen | 02:35 |
| pnorman | What's the command for updating major versions from the command line? | 02:35 |
| TJ- | AcidRain2012: How many X screens? | 02:36 |
| xar- | pnorman: if you can avoid doing it that way, I would; a good old-fashioned re-install is good for soul. | 02:36 |
| phao | Hi. If I just want to play an oga file on the terminal, is there any program to do it? | 02:36 |
| usr13 | pnorman: do-release-upgrade | 02:36 |
| TJ- | AcidRain2012: If you're using multiple X screens you can use the DISPLAY=:0.1 env var prefix, or for many GUI applications the "-display 0:0.1" form | 02:36 |
| phao | This is to implement a simple alarm script here. | 02:36 |
| litropy | phao, check out cvlc, part of vlc. | 02:37 |
| phao | thanks. | 02:37 |
| usr13 | pnorman: Are you LTS? | 02:37 |
| phao | worked litropy | 02:37 |
| phao | thanks. | 02:37 |
| pnorman | xar-: I'm at an airport without a working web browser or 2nd computer, a ubuntu reinstall is probably beyond what I can do before the flight | 02:38 |
| litropy | phao, yw | 02:38 |
| pnorman | usr13: not on the laptop. 14.04 is LTS I think, so odds are I'll be moving to LTS. running do-release-upgrade | 02:40 |
| usr13 | pnorman: You will more-than-likely need to change update-manager to lts | 02:40 |
| usr13 | pnorman: What version do you have now? | 02:41 |
| pnorman | well, for 14.04 I'll do a reinstall | 02:41 |
| pnorman | 13.04 | 02:41 |
| usr13 | pnorman: You'll be goint to 13.10 | 02:42 |
| usr13 | *going* | 02:42 |
| usr13 | pnorman: You can do it again later for 14.04 | 02:43 |
| AcidRain2012 | tj, where do i do that at? | 02:44 |
| stochastic | hey all, last night I was mucking about with my dhcp and interface config files in an attempt to get a PXE boot working (ended up giving up on the task). Now today after a reboot my internet is being exceedingly slow. Can anyone help me get back to default settings? I'm on 12.04 | 02:47 |
| usr13 | stochastic: What did you do? | 02:48 |
| usr13 | stochastic: Did you change nameserver? | 02:48 |
| stochastic | usr13 possibly - I was honestly mucking about too much to know all the things I changed. How can I tell if I've changed my nameserver? | 02:49 |
| stochastic | I really was just following various out-of-date PXE tutorials | 02:50 |
| usr13 | stochastic: Look at network-manager | 02:50 |
| stochastic | usr13 the gnome applet? or is there a specific command? | 02:51 |
| usr13 | stochastic: Did you change the router? | 02:52 |
| stochastic | usr13 all my changes were software - I think of a router as the box on the ground (I'm not terribly good at network setup/config) | 02:52 |

| alesan | hi | 02:58 |
| * stochastic is waiting for paste.ubuntu.com to load usr13 *please standby* | 02:58 | |
| usr13 | stochastic: iwconfig #Look at it yourself, see what the signal report is. | 02:58 |

| usr13 | iwconfig |grep Quality= | 03:00 |
| usr13 | stochastic: ^^^^^^^ You can just paste the last line here. | 03:00 |
| stochastic | usr13, lo and eth0 both have no wireless connections - wlan0 has my usual wireless stuff with the Quality line reading: Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-39 dBm | 03:00 |
| stochastic | but I'm currently using a wired connection because wireless doesn't seem to be connected to the router. | 03:01 |
| stochastic | usr13, or should I say the gui thinks it's connected but pages don't load in web browsers unless my eth0 is connected | 03:02 |
| usr13 | stochastic: You really need to just look at the complete output and decide what the problem is. See: http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/iwconfig8.html | 03:03 |
| devhost | So I'm trying to start dwm through lightdm but it kicks me out the moment I log in. This is ubuntu 12.04, dwm-6.0. | 03:04 |
| devhost | Running dwm through startx on tty1 fails with xinit: connection to X server lost. | 03:05 |
| stochastic | usr13 nothing looks off from iwconfig - I think it's lower level than that (DHCP server stuff) This line is the closest to anything wrong in iwconfig: Tx excessive retries:2 Invalid misc:257 Missed beacon:0 | 03:05 |
| usr13 | stochastic: host av.com #See how it resolves. | 03:06 |
| usr13 | stochastic: or if it does... | 03:06 |
| usr13 | stochastic: Maybe you just need to power-cycle your router? | 03:06 |
| stochastic | usr13, I get three IP addresses, one error line ";; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet." then two lines that describe it as being hosted by yahoo.com | 03:07 |
| stochastic | usr13, others on the network can access the internet just fine. | 03:07 |
| usr13 | stochastic: Well, if you'd use pastebinit, we could look with you.... | 03:08 |
| stochastic | usr13, but the pastebin website won't load - it keeps timing out | 03:08 |

| usr13 | stochastic: tcpdump -t wlan0 | 03:09 |
| stochastic | usr13, ^^ same error message | 03:10 |
| stochastic | usr13, also get the same error with tcpdump eth0 | 03:10 |
| usr13 | stochastic: And Ctrl-c to stop it, scroll up and look for anomaly | 03:11 |
| usr13 | schultza: sudo tcpdump -t wlan0 | 03:11 |
| stochastic | usr13, it doesn't continue running (no ctrl+c needed to stop, it stops immediately) and the sudo command does the same but with the following error: tcpdump: syntax error | 03:12 |

| usr13 | stochastic: Well, don't know about that. | 03:12 |
| usr13 | ping -c3 192.168.1.254 | 03:13 |
| sprung | upgrading is on the roadmap but i need to know about the version for 10.0.4 | 03:13 |
| usr13 | stochastic: tell us your ping times. | 03:13 |
| sprung | the oldest supported, as you know, is 12.0.4 | 03:13 |
| stochastic | usr13, 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms, average ping time=0.638 ms | 03:14 |
| usr13 | stochastic: Thats fine. Now try this: | 03:14 |

| wise_phone | Hello! Umm, installed gnome 3 to try it out. If i boot to unity via sudo service lightdm start i am greeted with the side bar and no trackpad input, sudo service gdm start greets me with a blank unresponsive screen. Ideas? | 03:48 |
| wise_phone | :( | 03:53 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: | 03:54 |
| pvl1 | you still there | 03:54 |
| wise_phone | Yup! | 03:55 |
| pvl1 | so why isnt your DM loading automagically | 03:55 |
| pvl1 | where are you entering to start the service | 03:55 |
| pvl1 | and how did you install gnome 3 | 03:55 |
| wise_phone | Im at tty1 | 03:55 |
| pvl1 | whts on tty7 | 03:55 |
| wise_phone | I installed gnome through the repositories | 03:56 |
| wise_phone | Tty7 is gdm at a blank screen with an input cursor but unresponsive. | 03:57 |
| pvl1 | ok | 03:57 |

| wise_phone | Should i choose gdm, i was chose lightdm last time | 04:07 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: the choice of DM shouldnt change anything in the end | 04:08 |
| pvl1 | its merely a means to an ends | 04:08 |

| chipotle | pvl1: fastcgi is much slower; and yes, usually fastcgi is used with apache. i prefer nginx | 04:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | monkwitdafunk: Just the mascot for Linux itself. | 04:21 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: methinks you want this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed | 04:22 |
| pvl1 | chipotle: i kind of doubt itd remove the fastcgi. either way, there is a way to see what changes with apt | 04:23 |
| pvl1 | but i dont remember what the command is or how to see changes | 04:23 |
| wise_phone | Pvl1 yeah hvac you can get work and own your own business out here, you could have your fittings and hoses and stuff in a shed and run your work out of a truck. In hvac people are spread way to thin. | 04:23 |
| chipotle | what's the command to remove a program and its config files? | 04:24 |
| wise_phone | Cinnamon or -common or -dbg? | 04:24 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: just cinnamon | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | chipotle: sudo apt-get purge program | 04:25 |
| wise_phone | I guess dbg is debug, And im not common, so, cinnamon, straight up? | 04:25 |
| chipotle | pvl1: thanks | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | chipotle: np | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: yes | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: common is the common files neccessarry for the cinnamon system | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: because you could just want their text editor | 04:26 |
| pvl1 | rather than the whole system | 04:26 |
| pvl1 | so they separate the system into parts | 04:26 |
| wise_phone | Oh i see. I knew that i was just making a repository joke that wasnt very funny. | 04:26 |
| pvl1 | oh | 04:27 |
| pvl1 | lol | 04:27 |
| pvl1 | actually that is kinda funny | 04:27 |
| pvl1 | oh i forgot to look at mars | 04:27 |
| wise_phone | Mars the weird red thing? | 04:28 |
| pvl1 | yup | 04:29 |
| wise_phone | Its real? | 04:29 |
| pvl1 | yes you can see it in the sky right now | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | on the 14 it will be the closest to earth in the last 22 years | 04:31 |
| wise_phone | Pvl1 to cloudy :/ | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | something something 22 years, something orbit, something 95 million kilometers, something something something | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | well the 14th is the time youll see it best anyway | 04:32 |
| wise_phone | I'll turn my tellie to it :) | 04:32 |
| wise_phone | Curiosity has had some sweet pics though recently. | 04:33 |
| pvl1 | i thought it was awesome how they got it to take a selfie | 04:35 |
| wise_phone | Ok, cinnamon is installed, how do i boot directly to it? | 04:35 |
| pvl1 | do you mean without the login screen? | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | you would make cinnamon your default, and enable autologin | 04:36 |
| dreamy_ | do i have to decompress an iso to make it run , boot on a usb pen? | 04:36 |
| wise_phone | Plv1 that was the most awesome selfie in the universe! | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: now | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: literally!! | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: *no | 04:36 |
| dreamy_ | ill just copy it? | 04:36 |
| dreamy_ | nice | 04:37 |
| dreamy_ | i want to install ubuntu studio | 04:37 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: just use unetbootin | 04:37 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, i just got a pen, i lost systen on my second computer | 04:38 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, can i just copy the iso into the pen? | 04:38 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: but to answer your q, it doesnt exactly work the way you were thinking. for example, you were gonna ddecompress your iso to the usb. but idk if bios can read fat32 or ntfs | 04:38 |
| pvl1 | lemme check dreamy_ | 04:38 |
| wise_phone | Pvl1 now when i attempt to start either gdm or lightdm it says unredonized service :/ | 04:39 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: how are you attempting | 04:39 |
| === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere | ||
| pvl1 | dreamy_: seems bios is fat32 | 04:40 |
| wise_phone | Well startx booted me to gnome3.10. | 04:40 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: however firstly, what system are you creating bootable usb | 04:41 |
| wise_phone | But i did sudo service start x x being the dm | 04:41 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: what dm? cinnamon could have its own dm | 04:42 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: unless you removed lightdm or gdm, they should work | 04:42 |
| dreamy_ | heres my situation, i got 2 pcs, one lost system, this one is the one im using im not capable of recording dvds at the moment so i need to recover the other pc | 04:42 |
| pvl1 | one sec gonna throw a hoodie on to smoke a cig | 04:42 |
| dreamy_ | im anxious about installing ubuntu studio | 04:42 |
| wise_phone | Its not displaying a login screen.. | 04:43 |
| dreamy_ | i play guitar | 04:43 |
| pvl1 | i wish i continued learning guitar :( | 04:43 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone what is it displaying | 04:44 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_ what OS are we using | 04:44 |
| dreamy_ | what if i put uneetboting on a pen? | 04:44 |
| dreamy_ | an old ubuntu | 04:44 |
| pvl1 | and I'm assuming we have internet | 04:45 |
| dreamy_ | im my laptop | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | no no no | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_ | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | unetbootin is an app | 04:45 |
| wise_phone | Pvl1 im in gnome3 without sound... | 04:45 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, we do, the other pc is connected with a network cable | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | it automates this process | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | of making bootable usb | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | in fact | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | u can use it to install ubuntu to a usb | 04:46 |
| pvl1 | and use that as ur hd | 04:46 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone check alsamixer | 04:46 |
| pvl1 | from terminal | 04:46 |
| pvl1 | aw balls it's cloudy | 04:46 |
| dreamy_ | can we try it another way. it whould be too risky to use the boot loader of my only working pc, at the moment | 04:47 |
| wise_phone | Plv1 i can tab select alsamixer from terminal... But it does not exist. | 04:49 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, im gonna give it a shot | 04:49 |
| wise_phone | I tried to apt-get. No luck. | 04:49 |
| pvl1 | what | 04:50 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_ boot loader? | 04:50 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_ unetbootin makes a bootable usb | 04:51 |
| pvl1 | that's it | 04:51 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, could you help me find a ubuntu studio live cd, it will run on the pen | 04:52 |
| dreamy_ | i got internet on the pc, cable | 04:52 |
| dreamy_ | network | 04:52 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: thats fine... but you already have an ubuntu iso right... so why not just make a bootable usb from it | 04:53 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: sudo apt-get install ubuntu | 04:53 |
| pvl1 | er | 04:53 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: | 04:53 |
| pvl1 | alsa-utils | 04:53 |
| pvl1 | is the package | 04:53 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, i just found out. it seems that the iso wont fit | 04:54 |
| wise_phone | Unable to locate | 04:54 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: hmmm | 04:54 |
| pvl1 | sudo apt-get update | 04:54 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: what size usb you have | 04:55 |
| chipotle | best way to deal with this? i have several php5 packages installed, i want to install php-fpm and get rid of 'php5' from my ubuntu 12.0.4. LTS system. what's the best way to do this? should i remove php5 and every php5* program installed and then install php-fpm via aptitude and reinstall the other php5 apps i need, or someway else? | 04:55 |
| dreamy_ | it says its 2g, but it appears to have just 1.8, ive erased all the files on it | 04:56 |
| pvl1 | chipotle: id ask in #linux | 04:56 |
| chipotle | ok | 04:56 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: ubuntu minimal | 04:56 |
| pvl1 | !minimal | dreamy_ | 04:56 |
| ubottu | dreamy_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:56 |
| wise_phone | Pvl1 after apt-get update, still no music. | 04:57 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, id like to use that | 04:57 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: so download that iso | 04:57 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: try to install alsa-utils now | 04:57 |
| pvl1 | this is weird | 04:57 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: may i pm you | 04:57 |
| dreamy_ | can you tell me where to find it? | 04:57 |
| wise_phone | Pvl1 thats what i meant, tried three times. | 04:58 |
| wise_phone | Im doing a cold boot. | 04:58 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: h.o | 04:58 |

| pvl1 | wise_phone: so its unity | 05:11 |
| pvl1 | wise_phone: do you plan on sticking with unity | 05:11 |
| pvl1 | we should get one window manager working first | 05:11 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: studio can be installed from the repos | 05:12 |

| vkkhurava | Hi, I want to get back my original kernel on ubuntu 14.04.. earlier on 13.10 I switched it to general due to wi-fi issue... | 05:19 |
| vkkhurava | *generic | 05:20 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: your going to need root | 05:22 |
| dreamy_ | to use mkusb? | 05:22 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: yes | 05:22 |
| dreamy_ | ill just use unetbootin? can i? | 05:23 |
| dreamy_ | some people say its not good to use root | 05:23 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: you HAVE to use root on linux to be functional, what they mean | 05:24 |
| pvl1 | is dont log in as root | 05:24 |
| pvl1 | even still... you can as long as you know what your doing | 05:24 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: without root, you cannot install software | 05:24 |
| pvl1 | nor can you read write mount drives | 05:24 |
| pvl1 | the system is what is going to access the usb, as root. so therefore, you need root account | 05:25 |
| vkkhurava | I want to get back my original kernel on ubuntu 14.04.. earlier on 13.10 I switched it to general due to wi-fi issue.... pls help | 05:25 |
| pvl1 | vkkhurava: you want to downgrade your kernel? | 05:25 |
| pvl1 | why | 05:25 |
| vkkhurava | no... I just want to get original in place of generic | 05:26 |
| dreamy_ | so ill recover root, how? | 05:26 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: you must reboot. get into grub. in grub the second option will be ubuntu [recovery] | 05:27 |
| pvl1 | or something like that | 05:27 |
| vkkhurava | pvll : my current kernel version is 3.13.0-20-generic | 05:27 |
| pvl1 | you select that, and then select a terminal and then type passwd | 05:28 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: i bet theres a youtube video | 05:28 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, ill take a risk.. | 05:28 |
| dreamy_ | if its a risk | 05:28 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: its not a risk | 05:29 |
| dreamy_ | so ill be right back | 05:29 |
| pvl1 | if it were, it would be more difficult to do | 05:29 |
| HomelessSanta | Howdy all, quick problem. I updated my Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS machine about an hour ago and took a walk. I started it up and it instantly dropped me into a virtual terminal I can't seem to run Unity or any other GUI. Any suggestions to somehow get back into Unity/LightDM?!? | 05:29 |
| pvl1 | vkkhurava: i think you are in a missunderstanding | 05:29 |
| Flannel | vkkhurava: You want #ubuntu+1 for Trusty support, but there's only -generic now a days. | 05:29 |
| pvl1 | thought so, thanks Flannel | 05:29 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: try sudo service restart lightdm | 05:30 |
| pvl1 | and check syslog | 05:30 |
| vkkhurava | Pvll & Flannel : I didnt get ur point | 05:30 |
| HomelessSanta | Right now I'm on the LiveUSB. | 05:30 |
| Flannel | vkkhurava: What do you think you switched to in 13.10? | 05:30 |
| HomelessSanta | Anymore suggestions before I take a reboot? | 05:30 |
| pvl1 | in unity login, where can you select a diff desktop | 05:30 |
| HomelessSanta | pvl1: By the way X.org did fail to start it implied. | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: not without any more details | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | need errors or something | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: ah | 05:31 |
| HomelessSanta | My guess is X is more likely the problem. | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | why. | 05:31 |
| vkkhurava | Flannel: I was on 13.10 then upgraded to 14.04 | 05:31 |
| Flannel | vkkhurava: ok | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: i like the username btw | 05:31 |
| HomelessSanta | pvl1: I updated the system and I suppose one of the updates killed it. | 05:31 |
| HomelessSanta | lol | 05:31 |
| Flannel | vkkhurava: So, what is it you're looking to do? | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | Flannel: where in the unity login does one select their different desktop | 05:31 |
| pvl1 | do you know? | 05:31 |
| HomelessSanta | pvl1: Thankies. | 05:32 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: try to update again | 05:32 |
| pvl1 | i should be here | 05:32 |
| Flannel | pvl1: no idea | 05:32 |
| pvl1 | always lurking on freenode | 05:32 |
| pvl1 | yeah... been using i3 for a while now | 05:32 |
| vkkhurava | Flannel: while I was on 13.10 I replaced my original kernel with generic due to Wifi issue... but now on 14.04 I want to get back original kernel which ship with 14.04 | 05:32 |
| HomelessSanta | I'll try it in a while by the way there isn't away to take a screenshot from the terminal is there? | 05:33 |
| Flannel | vkkhurava: What "original kernel" and what "generic kernel" are you talking about? | 05:33 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: no but | 05:33 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: there are lil scripts that can upload output to a pastebin | 05:33 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: or, cellphone and imgur :) | 05:34 |
| kandinski | hi all | 05:34 |
| HomelessSanta | Haha to bad my cellphone died in dirty water. | 05:34 |

| dreamy_ | pvl1, success | 05:35 |
| dreamy_ | whats further | 05:35 |

| dreamy_ | ? | 05:35 |
| kandinski | I have a fstab line that mounts a samba share with the _netdev option. It worked on 12.04, mounting the filesystem when it was available on the network, but it's stopped working since I upgraded to 13.10. Any ideas? | 05:35 |
| HomelessSanta | It was an Android phone. LG Motion 4G it was a good phone for the budget price. | 05:35 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: see no danger, good job! | 05:35 |
| pvl1 | HomelessSanta: ive seen them, good phones. im sorry to hear that. bag of rice right | 05:36 |
| HomelessSanta | Will be back in a while possibly see ya soon pvl1. :P | 05:36 |
| kandinski | cifs-utils is installed, and the partition does mount manually with mount -a | 05:36 |

| jack_ | Hey I need help with something | 05:36 |
| kandinski | so it's something aboug ubuntu not triggering the mount anymore. | 05:36 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: install unetbootin | 05:36 |
| dreamy_ | no trouble | 05:37 |
| jack_ | anyone here have experience with openvpn? | 05:37 |
| pvl1 | yes | 05:37 |
| pvl1 | kandinski: | 05:37 |
| Flannel | vkkhurava: According to the website I have, trusty is on 3.13.0.23.27. However, you should ask in #ubuntu+1 (thats a channel), because they'll know more about trusty than we do here. | 05:38 |
| jack_ | pv11: You do? I need to know how to disconnect from a vpn profile via terminal | 05:38 |
| pvl1 | can you confirm that you have interwebs connection before its mounting | 05:38 |
| pvl1 | jack_: sudo service openvpn stop | 05:38 |
| jack_ | plz someone | 05:38 |
| vkkhurava | Flannel: Thx for ur support | 05:38 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, next? | 05:39 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: oh wait sorry i forgot we switched to the minimal iso. my fault. but anyways. do you know which /dev device is your usb | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: i mean at this point, u can just us mkusb | 05:40 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, it probably in /media | 05:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys how do i delete terminal history history -c? | 05:41 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, let me try to check that on the link | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | Psil0Cybin: have you googled this | 05:42 |
| dreamy_ | im having some trouble understanding the tuturial, can i just do something like this? sudo mkusb saucy-desktop-i386.iso | 05:43 |
| pvl1 | well thats what ur supposed to do | 05:46 |
| pvl1 | but saucy wont fit | 05:46 |
| zhiyuan | HI FAGGOTS | 05:47 |
| OperaGhostkv | why just use dd ? | 05:47 |
| OperaGhostkv | mkusb is based on dd anyway | 05:47 |
| pvl1 | yeah | 05:48 |
| pvl1 | but he thinks the device is in /media | 05:48 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: do you know which /dev file is your usb thumb drive | 05:48 |
| OperaGhostkv | unmount it first of course ! | 05:48 |
| pvl1 | because you can just do sudo dd if=/mini.iso of=/dev/sdX | 05:49 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, no, mkusb is a script im tryng to donwload it and run it? | 05:49 |
| OperaGhostkv | you should run #sudo fdisk -l | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | hm | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | great idea | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | yea do that dreamy_ ^^^ | 05:50 |
| dreamy_ | bit scared.. | 05:50 |
| OperaGhostkv | to check where is your usb device | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | of what dreamy_ ? | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | wait | 05:50 |
| dreamy_ | fdisk? | 05:50 |
| OperaGhostkv | it might be /dev/sdg | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: you would rather trust a script you download from the internet | 05:51 |
| OperaGhostkv | or some like that | 05:51 |
| pvl1 | over running the commands yourself? | 05:51 |
| OperaGhostkv | the script will use dd anyway ! | 05:51 |
| dreamy_ | can i press the key control to donwload the script? | 05:51 |
| dreamy_ | or copy paste it? | 05:52 |
| dreamy_ | i cant download it, the browser edits the file | 05:53 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: where are you downloading from | 05:53 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: also. never trust scripts you find on the internet | 05:53 |
| pvl1 | thats much more likely to damage your system | 05:54 |
| dreamy_ | http://phillw.net/isos/one-button-installer/scripts/ | 05:54 |
| OperaGhostkv | it is crazy to use a dd in that way | 05:55 |
| dreamy_ | if unetbootin works with the dvd iso, it could work with the minimal iso too | 05:55 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: right click save as | 05:56 |
| dreamy_ | pvl1, im going to try unetbootin, ill only use the script after i get some rest | 05:57 |
| pvl1 | dreamy_: just use dd | 05:57 |
| pvl1 | this can be done in 2 minutes | 05:57 |
| dreamy_ | after some sleep? | 05:58 |
| pvl1 | idk if ill be here but im sure someone will help | 06:01 |
| pvl1 | dd is very simple | 06:01 |

| OperaGhostkv | you don't need to do that ..there are many simple way to recover | 06:05 |

| lerra | Hi, I have a netinstall setup based on preseed and 12.04.4, a new laptop I have does not have it's nic present in debian installer. So i tested a 12.04.4 livecd and the nic comes up there so the kernel supports it. When I create my own alt 12.04.4 cd with the preseed on it it gives the same error that it cant find the nic but when I use the normal preseed it seams like the nic works but in a later stage of the installation, | 06:42 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| ikonia | Kartagis: what application was the spreadsheet CREATED in ? | 06:44 |
| Kartagis | MSOffice | 06:45 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: ok, so this normally happens when you save it using the open office standards | 06:45 |
| ikonia | some of the conditional formatting is microsoft only, and saving it in an application that can't deal with that often removes it in the save | 06:46 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: I needed to save as? | 06:46 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: as the same microsoft format as it came in (although sometimes this can also fail if you've done something that updates the formatting and the open source app can't apply the propritary formatting) | 06:46 |
| Kartagis | hrm | 06:46 |
| afib | hello everyone! | 06:47 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: this is not uncommon, when you hit save it normally asks something like "do you want to save this in it's orginal format or OSD format" | 06:47 |
| Kartagis | well it didn't | 06:47 |

| docsaintly | Has anyone been able to use Ubuntu on a Gigabyte Brix with an AMD CPU? | 06:47 |
| ikonia | docsaintly: just state YOUR problem | 06:48 |
| afib | i was curious to know if it is possible for me to start a unity session via SSH. i've left the computer on, but it's at login screen so i can't VNC into it. i do have root, but im stuck on a windows machine atm so i've only got PuTTY to work with for SSH | 06:48 |
| docsaintly | ikonia: three different versions of Ubuntu (or distro based on it) all have problems with it. Xorg locks up, becomes unresponsive. | 06:49 |
| afib | basically i need to know if i can login my session via SSH using my credentials, so i can start my VNC session | 06:49 |
| ikonia | docsaintly: ok, so why does the cpu matter, do you mean the gpu / | 06:49 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: what version of ubuntu is this ? | 06:49 |
| docsaintly | Well, all the Brix style things are APUs | 06:49 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: 13.04 | 06:49 |
| Kartagis | erm, might be .10 | 06:50 |
| Kartagis | lemme check | 06:50 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: I can't test 13.04 sorry, but 12.04 it certainly works fine on | 06:50 |
| ikonia | docsaintly: look in the xorg log which xorg module (driver) it's loading for your setup | 06:50 |
| Kartagis | yeah, it's 13.10 | 06:50 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: what application are you opening it in ? | 06:52 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: libreoffice | 06:52 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: yeah, works fine on 12.04 | 06:53 |
| ikonia | just tested it on an excel spreadsheet with ms specific conditional formatting | 06:53 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: should I not save it and do something else? | 06:53 |

| soft-wxy | nh | 06:54 |
| soft-wxy | 你好 | 06:54 |
| soft-wxy | 在干嘛 | 06:55 |
| afib | is it not possible for me to start a session, remotely, through SSH? the server has restarted and i don't have physical access to login from the main login screen. thus, i cannot tunnel in through ssh/vnc as the connection is refused until a session is started (eg login through lightdm) | 06:55 |

| soft-wxy | 酷 | 06:58 |
| Bray90820_ | So for the life of me i can't properly boot ubuntu | 06:58 |

| afib | i don't need to start x through ssh, i just need to start my session... without getting past the initial login screen i cant get vnc to work | 07:01 |
| afib | or rather, forward x through the SSH | 07:01 |
| Bray90820_ | So for the life of me i can't properly boot ubuntu After grub the screen goes black | 07:01 |
| JC_Yang | damn it... it's a hex dump feature... line identical to the previous one will be displayed as asterisk... | 07:02 |
| afib | bray: no messages? | 07:02 |
| Bray90820_ | basically the monitor goes to sleep | 07:02 |
| Bray90820_ | but i can tell it booted because i can here the ubuntu sound | 07:02 |
| z8z | ikonia: so those software doesn't anything specific related to any checking or some other issue? | 07:03 |
| z8z | ikonia: ftpsync is generic? | 07:03 |
| z8z | ikonia: i'm a bit confused | 07:03 |
| Bray90820_ | afib: no message | 07:04 |
| Bray90820_ | afib: do you know what's going on | 07:07 |
| afib | bray: no, i haven't experienced anything similar with no message. have you tried another monitor? if it's starting up for sure, then surely it's a problem with the display server right? but in my past experience, i would never have been able to hear the sounds of loggin in etc | 07:08 |
| afib | since no server means no gui, and those sounds don't run if you aren't in the gui | 07:09 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 07:09 |
| Bray90820_ | afib: i tried booting windows installed on the same pc | 07:10 |
| MaxFrames | accidentally clicked on "never notify again" on a "couldn't connect to vpn" message, and now I can't reset this pref | 07:10 |
| docsaintly | ikonia: how do I check which Xorg driver it's loading? | 07:10 |
| MaxFrames | gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications => fails with "failed to commit changes to dconf" | 07:10 |
| Bray90820_ | This all started when the display refused to wake from sleep | 07:10 |
| [A3G1S] | Hey guys How can I make all traffic for a user go through a specific network interface ? | 07:10 |
| MaxFrames | dconf-editor also fails with the same error | 07:10 |
| [A3G1S] | can anyone guide me on this ? | 07:10 |
| MaxFrames | if I sudo dconf-editor I don't see the same settings i.e. the notifications for vpn networks are still default | 07:11 |
| MaxFrames | how do I reset the pref for the non-sudo user? | 07:11 |
| MaxFrames | anyone please? | 07:17 |
| geirha | MaxFrames: run it without sudo ... | 07:17 |
| MaxFrames | if I run it without sudo, I cannot change any value | 07:17 |
| MaxFrames | if I run it with sudo, I don't see the same values | 07:17 |
| geirha | MaxFrames: but since you (wrongly) have run it with sudo already, the permissions are likely broken | 07:17 |
| MaxFrames | no no no no. I tried to run it with sudo after seeing that running w/o sudo did not allow me to change the settings | 07:18 |
| MaxFrames | in sudo mode, I didn't do anything. Just read the values. | 07:18 |
| MaxFrames | it's a catch 22. I made a change to a setting as non-sudo, and now I cannot change it back. | 07:19 |
| geirha | MaxFrames: well, let's make sure there's no files with wrong ownership in your homedir first. find ~ -xdev ! -user "$USER" -ls | 07:20 |
| geirha | that should hopefully not list any files. | 07:20 |
| MaxFrames | no files. | 07:22 |
| MaxFrames | this is a fresh lubuntu install from yesterday, almost everything is default | 07:22 |
| MaxFrames | the command I am trying is "gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications" | 07:23 |
| MaxFrames | the error I get is "dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf" | 07:23 |
| MaxFrames | "gsettings org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications" shows that the current value is "true" and I can't change it to "false" | 07:24 |
| MaxFrames | "sudo gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications" gives no errors, but it does not change anything for the non-sudo user | 07:25 |
| Bray90820_ | Anyone have a solution to my error? | 07:26 |
| MaxFrames | besides that, there's also another problem with the nm-editor, more exactly with the openvpn plugin for the nm-editor | 07:26 |
| MaxFrames | I have a vpn connection whose client key is protected with a password; I don't want to save this password, I want it to be requested every time | 07:27 |
| MaxFrames | well, there is no way to save the vpn connection in the nm-editor unless I fill in the password field | 07:27 |
| MaxFrames | this way the vpn connection works, but I don't want the password to be stored. | 07:27 |
| MaxFrames | finally third problem, the nm-editor window is just a tad too tall for my netbook screen, and I have a hard time dragging the window to reveal the "save" button, there seems to be no way to resize the window to make it shorter | 07:29 |

| KeithWeisshar | it's still writing and the progrress bar does not move until finished | 07:37 |

| KeithWeisshar | i have a 32gb flash drive and the persistent file is 4gb | 07:38 |

| peteed1985 | my latest experience with linux is red hat linux 9 and fedora core 1 and 2 and I tried to install a video watching program like windows media player on it and ended up giving up cause you had to do it all in command line and then needed 1000 or more dependencies, never tried ubuntu so was curios how it is compared to what I remember of red hat linux 9? | 11:12 |
| bekks | peteed1985: sudo apt-get install kaffeine does that job. | 11:13 |
| cfhowlett | peteed1985 sorry, but we have NO IDEA of what you remember from redhat. to install a program in ubuntu, use the software center or bekks suggestions | 11:13 |

| cfhowlett | m4rtijn greetings. ask your ubuntu questions | 11:14 |
| husnainlatif | cfhowlett, i've gotta ask, if you don't mind, i skimmed through those pages and if I haven't got it wrong, ubuntutouch=arm and ubuntu=x86? | 11:16 |
| peteed1985 | how does uninstalling ubuntu work? I have windows 8.1 and was wondering if I install ubuntu and then format the ubuntu drive will it break my windows because of grub loader replacing MBR? | 11:17 |
| cfhowlett | husnainlatif correctomundo | 11:18 |
| peteed1985 | just wanna make sure I don't break my windows just to try it | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | peteed1985 you're running windows 8 - likely you've got uefi not mbr | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | !uefi | 11:18 |

| OerHeks | jjavaholic, is that bad? | 11:43 |
| OerHeks | kannot see the link, as it is incomplete, but hey, resizing takes a little cpu power more | 11:43 |
| OerHeks | and should go back to 'normal' as you relaese the resize function | 11:44 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: Then dont use system monitor since thats the monitoring tool with the highest overhead ever known. It takes up to 30% of the resources shown used for itself. | 11:45 |
| jjavaholic | I suspect a mistake somewhere | 11:46 |
| jjavaholic | it never used to be this bad | 11:46 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: It always was that bad, regardring system monitor. :) | 11:47 |
| jjavaholic | it doesn't matter what session i'm in be it fallback or unity default | 11:47 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: Yes. because system monitor uses a lot of resources. | 11:48 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: Use a sane tool like top, sar or vmstat - but dont use system monitor. | 11:48 |
| jjavaholic | why does windows resize normal cost so much? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: "cost" is what way? | 11:51 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: As long as you are measuring with system monitor, all results arent worth to be mentioned. | 11:52 |

| bekks | jjavaholic: It is the most invaluable indicator ever. | 11:55 |
| OerHeks | jjavaholic, top or htop in terminal takes less resources | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: do you want a CPU usage indicator? Is this the requirement? | 11:56 |
| jjavaholic | actionparsnip: cost in terms of CPU usage and why wouldn't it be handled by the GPU? | 11:56 |
| kostkon | jjavaholic, depends of your graphics driver i guess | 11:56 |

| === mpmc is now known as mpmc[BNC4FREE] | ||
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: if the window resizing is done in Compiz then I'd imagine it is done in 3D | 11:57 |

| ActionParsnip | *wire frame | 11:58 |

| ActionParsnip | imho the sooner compiz dies the better | 12:00 |
| jjavaholic | the idea that you would add a new workspace on the fly and not designate a workspace for certain app doesn't make workspace sense to me | 12:01 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: How are workspaces involved into all that? | 12:01 |
| jjavaholic | that is part of the reason I ditched fedora at the time before cinammon was introduced | 12:02 |

| ActionParsnip | on | 12:06 |
| bekks | yeah, on :) | 12:06 |

| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: why do you want to see the CPU use anyway? | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: sneezed (im full of cold) | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: but why do you want to see the cpu levels? | 12:06 |
| jjavaholic | I can see what app is using what CPU usage | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: ok but what will you do with this information? To what end do you want this information? | 12:07 |
| jjavaholic | so I can kill it if necessary | 12:08 |
| jjavaholic | if I think it is using too much | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: your system will hang if it uses too much. You dont need to see the cpu usage every 5 seconds to do that | 12:08 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: You decision is based on what exactly? | 12:08 |
| jjavaholic | even back in the days of gnome2 an indicator type app was useful | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: if a process is starving other processes of time, you will see it as it will directly affect the desktop experience | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: the entire desktop and its performance can show you that | 12:09 |
| OerHeks | is a higher cpu use bad with resizing an (active) window? | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: yes because the 2 seconds I am resizing its soooo annoying ;) | 12:10 |
| jjavaholic | not if the application is on a another workspace | 12:10 |
| Johnny_Linux | install the single second version | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: so why do you need an indicator when you can see the desktop noticably slow down for long periods of time, you can then take action. This human manual monitoring will cost you zero resources | 12:11 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: Of course. | 12:11 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: Because the workspaces are controlled by the same desktop environment. | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jjavaholic: the whole desktop will be affected as it is all using the same CPU pool | 12:11 |
| OerHeks | resizing an app on an other workspace, right. | 12:11 |

| ActionParsnip | elichai2: the omgubutu guide shows how to reinstate grub using chroot, you will need to work out which has the partition you boot to, you can then chroot to that | 12:16 |
| jjavaholic | I think it might be traced back to a bad default resize normal mode | 12:16 |
| bekks | DJones: Thank you. | 12:16 |
| jjavaholic | changing resize mode to outline seems to have improved things | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | elichai2: if this isnt clear then the guys in #kali-linux will be able to advise | 12:17 |

| CatKiller | mavericks: When you say "it reboots" you mean like a "physical" reboot (you see the BIOS again) or it never really shutdowns: the system tries to halt but resumes operation | 13:48 |
| JC_SoCal | i have a 12.04 box and a usb 3.0 card in the PCI slow. However my speeds are only 26MB/s -- any idea where I should start to troubleshoot this? | 13:48 |
| CatKiller | JC_SoCal: What is plugged in onto that card | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | JC_SoCal: what is the output of: uname -a | 13:49 |
| JC_SoCal | its a 4 port card -- with 1 WD USB3 HDD plugged in | 13:49 |
| mavericks | CatKiller: it reboots and even stays shutdown for about 3 seconds | 13:49 |
| JC_SoCal | Linux Karpo 3.8.0-35-generic #52~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:24:40 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 13:49 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: 26MB/s when doing what? | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | JC_SoCal: try the 3.11 kernel | 13:50 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: Sounds like your BIOS is configured to "automatically restart system after..." | 13:50 |
| CatKiller | Sometimes you have "power failure" | 13:50 |
| mavericks | .... unfortunately i did not find this configuration in the BIOS... | 13:50 |
| CatKiller | but I guess it could be that "automatically restart node after shutdown" | 13:50 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb | 13:50 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: Does this only happen with Ubuntu? | 13:50 |
| mavericks | yes only with ubuntu | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | mavericks: be sure you have the latest BIOS | 13:51 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: Then you can consider yourself lucky to have those fast results. | 13:51 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: So with Windows for instance it doesn't happen? | 13:51 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: is there a better way to test speeds? | 13:51 |
| mavericks | for windows it does not happen, very normal | 13:51 |
| CatKiller | JC_SoCal: Speed of what? What are you testing? a USB key? | 13:51 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: How much RAM do you have? | 13:51 |
| JC_SoCal | WD USB3.0 hd | 13:51 |
| JC_SoCal | 8 gigs | 13:51 |
| mavericks | ActionParsnip: i did not check the version of BIOS | 13:52 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: I don't see how Ubuntu could affect it honestly. You even said that the machine physically powers off for three seconds | 13:52 |
| CatKiller | at that stage Ubuntu has no more "trace" left on your system | 13:52 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: Then run the following: dd bs=16M count=640 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb | 13:52 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: That will transfer 10GB in 16M blocks to your sdb | 13:52 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: Just to be clear: after it "reboots" on its own, you see the BIOS screen again: i.e. it really powers off totally? | 13:52 |
| mavericks | yeah, but the command line works for ubuntu to shutdown. i managed to do that. Before command line did not work either.. | 13:53 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: The fact that the command line didn't work and now works sounds more like a fluke | 13:53 |
| mavericks | CatKiller: Yes, see the BIOS again | 13:53 |
| CatKiller | the code for shutting down isn't being changed very often | 13:53 |
| CatKiller | in fact it's very simple it sends a signal on a specific bus to tell the MB to shutdown | 13:54 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: i'm now between 107MB and 111 MB/s | 13:54 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: Wait for the result. Up to 8GB might be served from RAM cache. | 13:54 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: Maybe something else on the network in sending a Wake On Lan signal that gets interpreted by your NIC card? Try to shutdown completely disconnected from the network | 13:54 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: can you explain the logic behind the BS vs my Ram? | 13:54 |
| mavericks | ok i try that now and come back | 13:55 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: Well, consider you have 1M accessed already. Then this data will be in the RAM cache. If access it again, you will actually access RAM, not disk. Thats the short story. | 13:55 |
| mavericks | Thanks for your help. | 13:55 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: for reliable dd tests, you have to use a block size near to the physical cache of the disk (which is about 16 to 32M nowadays) and you have to transfer more data than you have RAM to avoid caching effects. | 13:56 |
| JC_SoCal | 10737418240 bytes (11 GB) copied, 98.6371 s, 109 MB/s | 13:57 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: Thats a pretty good value for USB3. | 13:57 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: this helped a lot! thank you | 13:57 |
| hillary | my keyboard key like @ not detected ubuntu 12.04 | 13:57 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: would it be worthwile to find the cache size of my USB 3.0 HDD? | 13:57 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: Can you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please? | 13:58 |
| CatKiller | bekks: dd will most likely split those incredibly large chunks into smaller, 64K chunks anyways | 13:59 |
| Xano | I can really find whether Contacts supports Google sync or not. Some sources say it doesn't, some say it does. Some say to use Ubuntu One as a workaround, but I don't want to store my data in yet another place *and* that service will be shut down later this year anyway. | 13:59 |

| ubottu | JC_SoCal: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 13:59 |
| Xano | *I can't | 13:59 |
| CatKiller | bekks: really specifying 1MB chunks is perfect | 13:59 |
| bekks | CatKiller: Nope. The default withou bs= is 512 Bytes. | 13:59 |
| mavericks | CatKiller: i tried turn off networking, but it still rebooted. | 13:59 |
| CatKiller | bekks: In fact run the test for yourself. Using 1MB or 16MB is going to yielf the same performance | 13:59 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: So you unplugged the machine from the LAN right? | 13:59 |
| mavericks | i did not use LAN.. | 14:00 |
| bekks | CatKiller: And specifying smaller chunks than the cache size is nonsense either, since it will unnecessarily increase cache preasure on the hdd cache. | 14:00 |
| mavericks | I used Wlan for network | 14:00 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: paste.ubuntu.com/7235013/ | 14:00 |
| bekks | CatKiller: In fact the best results I achieved where when I set the block size to the cache size. | 14:00 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: Ah sorry, so it couldn't be wake on lan then | 14:00 |
| mavericks | i disabled lan and wlan and tried to shutdown | 14:00 |
| JC_SoCal | CatKiller: i will try 1mb -- one sec | 14:00 |
| CatKiller | bekks: I'd be amazed at that. Since dd does split your blocks in smaller chunks anyways | 14:00 |
| mavericks | no problem. ;-) | 14:00 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: could you pastebin "dmesg" as well please? | 14:01 |
| CatKiller | mavericks: it's a really complex problem and most likely hardware related. Good luck with that! If the command line works fine, use that instead. Maybe map a button to it | 14:01 |
| bekks | CatKiller: Which it doesnt when you specify bs | 14:01 |
| CatKiller | bekks: It does. If you don't specify it defaul;ts to 512B | 14:01 |
| CatKiller | when you specify 16M | 14:01 |
| CatKiller | the reality is that the actual block sent to the device will be smaller | 14:02 |
| CatKiller | I'm talking about the block IO | 14:02 |
| JC_SoCal | bekks: paste.ubuntu.com/7235019/ | 14:02 |
| rt_91 | hi , i am trying to build a webapplication, where i am trying to access the files from the ubuntu one cloud , while authentication. i am using the following url to https://login.ubuntu.com/api/1.0/authentications to authenticate cloud. | 14:02 |
| mavericks | CatKiller: thanks a lot, though. I will live with that. :-) | 14:02 |
| bekks | CatKiller: I strongly doubt that until you can prove that. | 14:02 |
| bekks | JC_SoCal: An URL starts with a resource locator. Use that please. | 14:03 |
| rt_91 | it asks for username and password | 14:03 |
| rt_91 | but when i am trying to use the same url | 14:03 |
| CatKiller | bekks: Doesn't matter to me ;) You can see for yourself by printing each BIO sent to the device | 14:03 |
| JC_SoCal | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7235019/ | 14:03 |
| CatKiller | you'll be syurprised at the result | 14:03 |
| CatKiller | doubt it's worth the effort anyways | 14:03 |
| rt_91 | again it is not asking the username and password. | 14:03 |
| CatKiller | Or even easier: just compare results of 1MB vs 64MB (for drives with 64MiB of cache) | 14:04 |
| CatKiller | you should get the same | 14:04 |
| Pici | rt_91: 1) Ubuntu One is shutting down. 2) #ubuntu-app-devel would probably be a better place for this. | 14:04 |
| Yasminas | Hello, I can't figure out if Tp-Link TL-WN725N is linux-compatible or not (I find contradicting info online). help please | 14:05 |
| bekks | CatKiller: Yeah, so I consider your statements as "I cannot prove it.". Thanks anyway. | 14:05 |
| donofrio | what channel here fields lightdm questions? tried #lightdm but I was the only one in the channel? | 14:05 |
| CatKiller | bekks: OK. I did prove it though. | 14:06 |
| CatKiller | I gave you the exact test to run | 14:06 |
| CatKiller | in fact I'll run it myself here | 14:06 |
| rt_91 | Pici:thanks | 14:06 |
| bekks | CatKiller: you didnt. you just said to do something, which is no prove at all, but a suggestion in best case. I'll move on now, since you cant prove your statements. | 14:06 |
| CatKiller | bekks: test is running | 14:07 |
| CatKiller | What I wouldn't do just to help a fellow user! :p | 14:07 |
| bekks | CatKiller: So you do you monitor block i/o sizes? :P | 14:07 |
| CatKiller | bekks: My test is simple: I run one test with bs= disk cache size | 14:08 |
| CatKiller | and one test with bs=1M | 14:08 |
| Yasminas | I have a machine with Lubuntu 13.10 , will TP-LINK TL-WN725N work on it? | 14:08 |
| CatKiller | if both test yielf exactly the same speed | 14:08 |
| CatKiller | then it's likely that using a bs > 1MiB has no effect | 14:08 |
| bekks | CatKiller: thats not what you suggested. you suggested to monitor data blocl sizes for block i/o when using dd. | 14:08 |
| CatKiller | bekks: And here are the results | 14:09 |
| CatKiller | http://bpaste.net/show/lXmaZInaI5u1nU91NjMf/ | 14:09 |
| CatKiller | I suggested two things | 14:09 |
| CatKiller | <CatKiller> Or even easier: just compare results of 1MB vs 64MB (for drives with 64MiB of cache) | 14:09 |
| bekks | So bs=16M is faster. q.e.d. | 14:09 |
| CatKiller | No it's not | 14:09 |
| bekks | CatKiller: In my world, 128 is bigger than 126. In yours too? | 14:10 |
| CatKiller | 126MiB/sec vs 128MiB/sec | 14:10 |
| CatKiller | yes it's the same | 14:10 |
| CatKiller | you have a +/- margin in IO tests | 14:10 |
| CatKiller | the only way to get rid of this margin is to run the test 10000 times | 14:10 |
| Yasminas | nobody? is this not the right place to ask this question? | 14:10 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|Yasminas | 14:11 |
| ubottu | Yasminas: 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/ | 14:11 |
| CatKiller | also note that the second test would have a lot of blocks stored in cache | 14:11 |
| CatKiller | so it should have been a *lot* faster | 14:11 |
| bekks | CatKiller: How much RAM do you have? | 14:11 |
| CatKiller | 2.5G | 14:11 |
| CatKiller | 80184k buffers | 14:11 |
| bekks | Then point is, that when you using more data than your RAM can hold, you avoid caching effects. | 14:11 |
| CatKiller | there's 80MB that was buffered | 14:11 |
| CatKiller | bekks: That's why I used 5GiB | 14:12 |
| JC_SoCal | =) | 14:12 |
| bekks | Thats what I sai already. And caching 80M out of 2.5G can be safely ignored. | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | to ease the effects of cache | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | no it can't | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | it might account for 2MiB/sec | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | :p | 14:12 |
| JC_SoCal | thanks for your help bekks -- i'm getting back it it | 14:12 |
| JC_SoCal | to it* | 14:12 |
| bekks | CatKiller: Whatever you are talking about, all I can see is that you are pretty confused. | 14:12 |
| CatKiller | bekks: No you are confused :p | 14:13 |
| CatKiller | bekks: The proof is here | 14:13 |

| CatKiller | large block size vs 1MiB block size: same speed | 14:13 |
| CatKiller | no noticeable improvement | 14:13 |
| bekks | CatKiller: so how big your hdd cache? | 14:13 |
| CatKiller | nothing that would prompt anyone to recommend 64MiB block size over 1MiB block size | 14:13 |
| CatKiller | 64MiB | 14:13 |
| francis_ | CIao | 14:13 |
| CatKiller | let me restart the test with 64MiB | 14:13 |
| bekks | then use 64M instead of 16. Thats what I said. Do what you want, but dont tell me, I am not interested in continuing this pointless discussing with you anymore. | 14:14 |
| CatKiller | bekks: I am :) | 14:14 |
| CatKiller | It's not pointless | 14:14 |

| francis_ | thank you ubottu | 14:15 |
| CatKiller | also it took us a while but while developping our SAS scsi target here we noticed that dd was a poor test compared to say xdd or even IO meter as it split the IOs in variable chunk size, regardless of the bs parameter | 14:15 |
| CatKiller | bekks: That's fine but please don't spread disinformation, it's counter productive | 14:16 |
| bekks | CatKiller: Well you spreading misinformation, since you a) where not using dd with a stock block device driver but b) using iscsi instead. So unless you face the fact that iscsi works different from stock block device drivers, please c) dont hilight me anymore and d) stop spreading misinformation. | 14:17 |
| CatKiller | iscsi? why? no it's a SATA drive | 14:17 |
| CatKiller | and when we noticed the dd behaviour it was while working on a SAS target | 14:18 |
| CatKiller | which is even more scsi than SATA could be ;) | 14:18 |
| bekks | Whatever. Ignore set. | 14:18 |

| vfw | Joe_knock: But if you have a CD-R, why not use it? | 15:12 |
| ubuser | anyone can confirm that he can delete pop mails in thunderbird under 13.10 or 12.04 LTS ? | 15:13 |
| ubuser | :D | 15:13 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: What version of Ubuntu are you running? (or what version of k3b?) | 15:13 |
| DaemonicApathy | ubuser: How are you going about deleting it? | 15:13 |
| ubuser | use a cdr and pass the disc to someone other after :) | 15:13 |
| Joe_knock | vfw: I am going to be mounting the disk and installing some software on it. Similar to using a temporary linux | 15:13 |
| Joe_knock | ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 15:13 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: i try just to del/backspace /right click->delete mail ... :( all the ways... even drag&drop to trashcan doesn't work | 15:14 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: What? You are wanting to re-master the ISO? | 15:14 |
| chulis | hello ¿somebody use lubuntu here? | 15:14 |
| cfhowlett | chulis ask your questions | 15:14 |
| ubuser | hm.... permission issues? i installed thunderbird through the software catalog... | 15:14 |
| baako | joe_knock so | 15:15 |
| Joe_knock | vfw: Similar to using linux from USB, I will be using it from DVD | 15:15 |
| DaemonicApathy | Could be a function of the actual mail host, I suppose - not supporting deletion via client. | 15:15 |
| ubuser | its a pop account... | 15:15 |
| baako | !apt-get joe_knock | 15:15 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: I still do not understand what you are trying to say. | 15:15 |
| ubuser | so the mails are imho in local storage | 15:16 |
| DaemonicApathy | ubuser: I prefer 13.04 myself atm, so unfortunately I can't test on the versions you're asking about. | 15:16 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: Oh, you are going to install Ubuntu to a USB drive? | 15:16 |
| Joe_knock | baako I suppose apt-fast probably means what it says. Although I haven't used it before and apt-get works fine for me. | 15:16 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: it works on my other account which is imap | 15:16 |
| ubuser | cool, so that works for you? i think i go for the LTS version and see it there ;) | 15:16 |
| Joe_knock | vfw: no. I am going to install ubuntu onto a disk, mount the disk image, install some software on it and then use that disk as a temporary linux | 15:16 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: What do you mean, temporary linux? | 15:17 |
| DaemonicApathy | vfw: Live disc | 15:17 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: Why not just do an install to a USB drive? | 15:17 |
| Joe_knock | vfw: My system is too slow for virtualbox, so I will run linux on a disk instead. | 15:17 |
| Joe_knock | vfw: I currently don't have a spare USB drive to use. | 15:18 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock not likely to be satisfactory. consider using lubuntu or xubuntu - easier on your system | 15:18 |
| DaemonicApathy | Joe_knock: Afaik, in order to get installed packages into an optical Live Disc, you need to include them at creation, essentially making a custom distro. Can someone confirm/dispute? | 15:18 |
| troyp | Hello. I'm having trouble upgrading openssl. After doing sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:18 |
| ubuser | puppy linux on a usb thumbdrive :D | 15:18 |
| troyp | and then a reboot, it's still saying 1.0.1c | 15:19 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: That is what I am doing. I am going to burn Xubuntu 12.04 onto a DVD from a CD. I just said ubuntu 12.04 in case anyone said "ask in xubuntu" | 15:19 |
| ubuser | i think so too, like DaemonicApathy says | 15:19 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock be aware that running from dvd/cd = running in ram. Highly unlikely to be overly speedy. | 15:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | troyp: apt-get install libssl1.0.0 | 15:20 |
| DaemonicApathy | Then check. | 15:20 |
| ubuser | i think persistence is mostly only for data and not the system, unless u use something like puppy linux which loads additional 'modules' on startup | 15:21 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: What about running from USB? | 15:21 |
| vfw | Joe_knock: You don't even have a thumb drive? | 15:21 |
| chulis | I use lubuntu how can I change the meesage time (pop up) of the system for ex. new mail, battery status etc ¿I would like make this mesage smaller | 15:21 |
| GreyBit | what is ubuntu's source code language? | 15:21 |
| troyp | libssl1.0.0 is already the newest version. | 15:21 |
| troyp | DaemonicApathy: ^ | 15:21 |
| Joe_knock | vfw: I do. But they are being used elsewhere. | 15:21 |
| Pici | !sslbug | troyp | 15:21 |
| ubottu | troyp: A fix for the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities (2014-0076 & 0160) has been pushed to the Ubuntu repositories, see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2165-1/ and http://heartbleed.com/ for more information. | 15:21 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock same issue = same result. why not a normal install to the HDD? | 15:21 |
| ubuser | running from ram? ubuntu?... not really imho | 15:21 |
| ubuser | it accesses the drive anytime... | 15:21 |
| cfhowlett | ubuser booting from cd/usb means it's running in ram --- | 15:22 |
| ubuser | puppy runs from ram, haha | 15:22 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: Would virtualbox be able to run an instance of Xubuntu on 1GB of RAM? | 15:22 |
| ubuser | okk | 15:22 |
| ubuser | sorry | 15:22 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock yes - 32 bit | 15:22 |
| kriskropd | I want to try out http://sourceforge.net/projects/smasher/ but I can't seem to get over several dependency hurdles - does anyone know how I might obtain libcsound64-5.1 to downgrade from libcsound64-5.2 ? | 15:22 |
| Joe_knock | perhaps I should use virtualbox then. | 15:22 |
| marlo | bit new to bash... prototyping something... how do i get myBashFile.sh to call myBashFile.sh without spawning a new process? | 15:23 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock worth a try | 15:23 |
| hiram | Joe_knock yes it would 32 or 64 bit depending on how much RAM you allocate | 15:23 |
| ubuser | virtualization helps a lot :) | 15:23 |
| Joe_knock | kriskropd: you can delete the current libcsound and install the older version by doing a manual install | 15:23 |
| Joe_knock | hiram: the system itself is running xubuntu, so perhaps a xubuntu within xubuntu could share 500MB each. | 15:24 |
| DaemonicApathy | Whoever was having the POP issue, just deleted all my Facebook notifications with no issue - Thunderbird 24.2.0 ; Ubuntu 13.04 | 15:25 |
| kriskropd | Joe_knock: so then, it's just a matter of actually locating libcsound64-5.1 library file? ... https://packages.debian.org/sid/libcsound64-5.1 I've a feeling I would just break something if all I installed was that - is there somewhere I could go to see what needs to be done to port smasher from csound 5.1 to 5.2? | 15:25 |
| hiram | Joe_knock 32 bit it is | 15:26 |
| Joe_knock | kriskropd: from what I read of that package, it sounds like something I wouldn't want to try uninstalling on a working system. Perhaps you can do what I am trying to do and first attempt this in a virtualbox environment. | 15:27 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock go with lubuntu. it's optimized for low/old specification systems | 15:27 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: Thanks a lot :) | 15:28 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: I think xubuntu is too. It runs pretty fast on my 10+ year old laptop | 15:28 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: so your facebook mail is configured as a pop account :) ? | 15:29 |
| DaemonicApathy | ubuser: The email I use to receive them, yes. | 15:29 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: Even if you "mount" the CD image of linux on disk, will it still run in RAM? Or is that what "mounting" is? | 15:29 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: cool, many thanks for trying out, i'll check my version when i get to ;) | 15:29 |
| ubuser | bye all have a good one | 15:29 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock mounting makes it available, but it's not read into ram | 15:30 |
| DaemonicApathy | ubuser: Alright, glad to help. Perhaps worth mentioning that the host for that one is MS Live | 15:30 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: ok, but i think for every pop account it drops the mail on local storage ; | 15:31 |
| ubuser | ;) | 15:31 |
| Joe_knock | cfhowlett: There was some instructions with the 12.04 that specified mounting the disk to install grub2. What I couldn't understand was how software was installed onto the disk if the disk itself is "readable" only. | 15:31 |
| Joe_knock | i'll brb. | 15:31 |
| cfhowlett | Joe_knock those instructions are for installing grub to the HDD | 15:31 |
| ubuser | DaemonicApathy: gonna check permissions and stuff first ;) thanks for testing, keeps my sure about a system version change ;) | 15:32 |

| kostkon | hylian, does not use rdp | 16:04 |
| Joe_knock | hylian: if you're connecting to another PC remotely, I don't think they need to be entering any info. Perhaps they may need to lower firewall settings, etc. but no usernames/passwords | 16:04 |
| bekks | limey: teamviewer and crossplatform is bad joke. Actually the 64bit variant is nothing else than a 32 bit wine executing a 32 bit teamviewer. And calling wine to be "crossplatform" is blasphemious ;) | 16:04 |
| hylian | kostkon: i need to see his desktop, and fix things on it. | 16:04 |
| kostkon | hylian, if you use rdp uncle will have to open a port in his router. teamviewer is a more appropriate and simpler solution imo | 16:05 |

| marc_v92 | eSgr: I know how to compile software, I just can't find the version I need. | 16:45 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | marc_v92: sudo apt-get policy openssl, if it shows more than one version, you may revert back to old one | 16:46 |
| vfw | remd: Maybe you need to turn udev off first. I don't know but you could try. service udev stop | 16:46 |

| FourFire | or perhaps removed entirely? | 17:00 |
| juboba | any ideas | 17:00 |
| juboba | ? | 17:00 |
| FourFire | there's a 61 which is exactly the line I just suggested | 17:00 |
| jhutchins | FourFire: deb-src is for source code only. | 17:00 |
| FourFire | no other lines past that | 17:00 |
| jhutchins | FourFire: the apt system apparently thinks there's something wrong with that line. WHat about other lines in the file? | 17:01 |
| jhutchins | juboba: Did you stop network-manager and start wicd? | 17:01 |
| FourFire | I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but there's nothing obviously wrong | 17:02 |

| TedJoynes | Is there any chance I could fire up a Virtual Box VM from shell? | 17:32 |
| TedJoynes | I can't get to the gui .. but I can get into SSH on the host machine. Heck I guess if I could get VNC to connect with shell commands that'd work too. | 17:33 |
| dioioib | TedJoynes: startx | 17:33 |
| TedJoynes | dioioib: That would startx in an SSH shell | 17:34 |
| dioioib | then you need to edit your rc files. | 17:34 |
| dioioib | TedJoynes: http://askubuntu.com/questions/336272/how-is-ubuntu-live-user-graphical-session-startx-started-up-in-a-livecd | 17:35 |
| TedJoynes | Ok. I have a machine running xwindows and virtual box. I am remote. I have SSH but VNC is refusing connections. Can I start a VM from SSH or even get VNC reset to allow connections. | 17:35 |
| dioioib | so it is your VNC that is the problem? | 17:36 |
| TedJoynes | Sure that's a problem as well.. My goal is starting a VM inside VirtualBox on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. | 17:36 |
| dioioib | well I don't think you can start the VM remote because the VM would already need to be running to SSH into it. | 17:36 |
| dioioib | you would need access to the machine that hosts the VM | 17:37 |
| TedJoynes | dioioib: The goal would be to pass a command to virtual box host to start the VM | 17:37 |
| TedJoynes | dioioib: K. Lets pretend I have SSH access to the machine that hosts the VM? Now what. | 17:37 |
| dioioib | so you want to PXE boot your VM | 17:37 |
| TedJoynes | dioioib: If virtual box needs me to pass it a command via a PXE interface and I can do it from SSH that sounds like a potential solution. | 17:38 |
| dioioib | just looking up commands for you right now | 17:39 |
| dioioib | I found one for headless but you want VM so that isn't going to work | 17:39 |
| dioioib | here we are: VBoxManage startvm Ubuntu10.10 | 17:40 |
| dioioib | where Ubuntu10.10 is the name of your VM | 17:40 |

| phao | VictorSeb, utf-8 is compatible with ascii | 18:51 |

| solexious | Q: I'm trying to enable remote desktop on my workstation, I'm at another computer connected via ssh so can't use the gui, how can I enable it via the commandline? | 19:14 |
| === frecel_ is now known as frecel | ||
| dioioib | you could create a remote tunnel to VNC or RDP into your system. | 19:17 |
| solexious | dioioib: yup, but I need to enable the rdp server first :) | 19:18 |
| dioioib | yep | 19:18 |
| dioioib | and setup your portforwards. | 19:19 |
| dioioib | on the router | 19:19 |
| dioioib | so you want to start RDP on the remote? what type of system is it? | 19:19 |
| dioioib | windows? | 19:20 |
| solexious | dioioib: ubuntu | 19:22 |
| solexious | I'm ssh'd into it | 19:22 |
| dioioib | ok. and you don't have rdp or vnc setup as a server? | 19:22 |
| cwc | any grub2/raid5/gpt experts here? | 19:22 |
| solexious | nope, its pretty much a fresh install | 19:23 |
| frostschutz | cwc, works best with a raid1 /boot if you ask me | 19:24 |
| cwc | interesting | 19:25 |
| cwc | hadn't thought to try that | 19:25 |
| dioioib | solexious: so you need to sudo apt-get install vnc-server | 19:25 |
| === sarsaeol_ is now known as sarsaeol | ||
| cwc | frostschutz: when grub2 tries to install to /dev/mdX, I get error: diskfilter writes not supported | 19:25 |
| frostschutz | sajjad, if it's WD green, you can use hdparm or idle3-tools to make the head parking less agressive | 19:25 |
| rednecktek | solexious: x11vnc with xinetd is my fav solution | 19:25 |
| cwc | if that's just a raid5 thing I'll switch it up for /boot | 19:25 |
| dioioib | then your tunnel will look something like this http://pastebin.com/KDtvR6Wr | 19:26 |
| frostschutz | cwc, dunno, I install to sda/sdb/sdc (or usb stick for encrypted setups) | 19:26 |
| dioioib | except you might need an -X in there for running x. | 19:26 |
| cwc | word. I'll give that or raid1 /boot a try, thx | 19:26 |
| dioioib | gtg. | 19:30 |
| velus | hello all does ubuntu have something like usb_modeswitch preinstalled? and also what version of php and httpd does it have? also if it isnt the one i want will it be easy to iunstall it (i.e in centos you cant really install it using the instructions properly | 19:30 |
| === GeekBlogTV is now known as WizardSleeve | ||
| sajjad | frostschutz, what's normal load cycle count per an hour? | 19:32 |
| Jordan_U | velus: usb_modeswitch is preinstalled, the version of php depends on the version of Ubuntu you use. "apt-cache policy" or http://packages.ubuntu.com will tell you the exact version. Installing software outside of the repositories generally isn't recommended. | 19:33 |
| velus | yeh but Jordan_U im needing php 5.5 to help with me doing some work for someone | 19:34 |
| Jordan_U | velus: Why do you specifically need 5.5? | 19:35 |

| frostschutz | sajjad, dunno, really. my oldest wd green 2tb has ~15000 hours runtime and ~6000 load cycles. otoh if load cycles really were a problem we'd probably heard of it by now, people usually notice when lots of disks of a model die early | 19:40 |
| goose00014000 | Does anyone know a way that I could easily (and freely) host some PHP/MySQL in some sort of cloud setup maybe (not limited to). I want to be able to have a place where I can host some PHP/MySQL projects (mostly simple) and be able to access/edit/update the files remotely when I'm out and about. But, I'm trying to look for a solution that doesn't require me to setup my own server to do it. | 19:41 |
| hydruid | goose00014000: for free, highly highly highly doubt it | 19:42 |
| hydruid | goose00014000: and if those "mostly simple" PHP projects aren't secure, if it's wide open to the world, they will get pwnt | 19:43 |
| sajjad | frostschutz, my Hitachi HTS547575A9E384 has 1409 hoursand 54211 load cycle | 19:43 |
| frostschutz | goose00014000, free hosts exist but they usually suck big time. webspace is not that expensive | 19:43 |

| xtbman | Hi, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and am using it for the first time. I've noticed that both Chrome and Firefox sit for a few seconds on "waiting to connect <url", and then they respond and load the page. Do you have any idea why they would be slow to respond? | 20:06 |
| xtbman | waiting to connect to <url>, I meant | 20:06 |
| xtbman | finally, after about 5-10 seconds, it says Establishing Connection and takes me to the page. | 20:06 |

| x0011BF | Oi oi. Question - I programmatically modified some of the VPN configuration files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections | 20:15 |
| bekks | Baako: Define "I protected a folder" please. | 20:15 |
| Baako | bekks i think i used a "chmod 600" | 20:15 |
| x0011BF | I did so by caching the entire contents to a string in python, deleting the file, then creating a new one. | 20:16 |
| akio | So I installed the new LTS and I'm having issues updating it from a local repo I built for other releases. | 20:16 |
| akio | I used debmirror to make the repo and its been working fine. | 20:16 |
| nf7 | xtbman: Perhaps your wireless card isn't supported very well? | 20:16 |
| x0011BF | I changed the permissions to the same permissions as ones that work (600), but they still didn't re-appear. | 20:16 |
| akio | The trusty machine will not load the Package indexes. | 20:16 |
| x0011BF | Any idea how to fix it? | 20:16 |
| akio | They don't exist unpacked for any release. | 20:16 |
| xtbman | ok I used nm-tool | tail -n 8, and it lists two DNS lines. One says 75.75.75.75, the other says 75.75.75.76 | 20:17 |

| xtbman | Not sure what that means regarding my slow DNS resolution | 20:18 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: what about who owns those files/ | 20:18 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: root owns all of them. | 20:18 |
| xtbman | should I still change the DNS to 8.8.8.8? | 20:18 |
| Baako | bekks please help | 20:18 |
| x0011BF | Jordan_U: Not sure what you mean. They disappeared from the network manager. I'm not running any commands. | 20:18 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: did root own them before? | 20:18 |
| hydruid | xtbman: yes | 20:19 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Yes. Root owns the ones that are working as well. | 20:19 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: so the permissions match exactly as before? | 20:19 |
| akio | bad mirror, nevermind | 20:19 |
| x0011BF | From what I can tell. Sec. | 20:19 |
| xtbman | ok, just gotta figure out how to change DNS | 20:19 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: what is the issue? | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | x0011BF: What dissapeared from network manager? | 20:20 |
| x0011BF | So I had some OpenVPN VPN connections in the network manager. | 20:21 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: you will have to recreate those | 20:21 |
| x0011BF | I have a lot of them that all access the internet through the same proxy. | 20:21 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: just copying the vpn config files means nothing | 20:22 |
| cwc | frostschutz: even with raid1 /boot, grub2 still doesn't want to install. 'diskfilter writes not supported'. Does it hate me because I'm using 4x4TB disks? | 20:22 |
| x0011BF | What? | 20:22 |
| x0011BF | I'm trying to modify them. | 20:22 |
| x0011BF | They all access the internet through the same HTTP proxy, and I want to be able to change the password in all of them with a script. | 20:23 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: Okay, what is the issue you're running into? | 20:23 |
| x0011BF | It's clearly stored in these VPN config files, but when I delete-and-recreate them programmatically, even with the same permissions, they disappear. | 20:23 |
| x0011BF | From the network manager. | 20:23 |
| xtbman | Ok, I set the DNS to 8.8.8.8. wifi does not connect now. | 20:24 |
| Jordan_U | cwc: grub's boot sector needs to be installed to where your BIOS will load it from. Your BIOS doesn't understand mdraid, so it can't load from mdX. Instead, you need to install grub's boot sector to the MBR of the drives. | 20:24 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: so you modify the VPN config thru a script or by hand, they disapear | 20:24 |
| x0011BF | Haven't tried by hand. | 20:24 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: is the script deleting the files? why not just update what is there with SED? | 20:24 |
| xtbman | I went into edit connections, went to the IPv4 tab, chose Automatic (DHCP) address only, then put 8.8.8.8 into the DNS servers box. | 20:24 |
| cwc | Jordan_U: I was successful at setting up ubuntu server with 2x2TB RAID1 | 20:24 |
| cwc | the installer didn't use gpt for the partition table, so my suspicions lie there | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | cwc: No, I just told you that your problem was that you were trying to install grub's boot sector to the wrong place. | 20:25 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: sed -i 's/4.4.4.4/5.5.5.5/g' VPN-text-file | 20:25 |
| x0011BF | Yeah, I kinda already wrote this other script. | 20:26 |
| x0011BF | It does other things. | 20:26 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: ohh okay sounds like you have it handl3ed | 20:26 |
| hydruid | *handled | 20:26 |
| x0011BF | I may be able to modify it in-place, but I don't see why delete-and-recreate is a problem. | 20:26 |
| cwc | I could be mistaken, but I thought my previous install was to md0 on the other machine | 20:26 |
| Beldar | x0011BF, Use the others nick when you address them. ;) | 20:26 |
| Xano | Is there a shortcut to switch between applications | 20:27 |
| Xano | ? | 20:27 |
| xtbman | ok now it connected. My primary DNS is now 8.8.8.8. www.yahoo.com waited on "Resolving Host" for 11 seconds and then immediately loaded the page. This seems even longer than before. | 20:27 |
| x0011BF | Beldar: OK | 20:27 |
| k1l_ | Xano: alt+tab | 20:27 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Apparently not. | 20:27 |
| Xano | k1l_, No, thatś to switch between windows | 20:27 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Editing the config files by hand works fine. Not sure why it matters if it gets momentarily removed. | 20:28 |
| k1l_ | xano, which ubuntu, which desktop? | 20:28 |
| Xano | k1l_, 12.10, Unity | 20:28 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: then perhaps you should try my suggestion, you need to see if deleting the config file is the root of the issue, or if just modifying the config files causes the same issue | 20:28 |
| Xano | 13 | 20:28 |
| Xano | k1l_, err, 13.10 | 20:28 |
| k1l_ | Xano: press super and hold it and read the shortcuts | 20:28 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Yes, I just modified one by hand and it worked fine. | 20:28 |
| Xano | k1l_, Dumb questoion: what is super? | 20:29 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: But that doesn't distinguish between some sort of permissions problem and a problem where if it ever gets deleted it is removed forever. | 20:29 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: My guess is that either Network manager realizes that they are gone or there is some kind of "trust relationship" to those files or a symbolic link, if you will, to something else that keeps track of when they are deleted | 20:29 |
| Xano | Ugh, I obviously cannot type on this keyboard yet :P | 20:29 |
| k1l_ | Xano: alt+tab is a app switcher in first level and a window switcher in second level | 20:29 |
| Jordan_U | Xano: It's the key that's wearing a cape :) | 20:29 |
| k1l_ | Xano: the windows button | 20:29 |
| x0011BF | I suppose it's possible. Maybe I'll try just leaving the files in place and gutting them. | 20:29 |
| xtbman | Connecting to cnn.com, it sat on Resolving Host for 15 seconds, then it sat on "waiting for cdn.optimizely.com for 45 seconds. | 20:29 |
| xtbman | Anyone have a suggestion? I guess 8.8.8.8 isn't working. | 20:29 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: why? | 20:29 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Because of the way the script works. | 20:29 |
| xtbman | Pressing the x button causes the page to load immediately. | 20:30 |
| Xano | k1l_, Ah, I wasn familiar with the Linux terminology for that button yet. Thanks | 20:30 |
| Xano | k1l_, useful shortcut! | 20:30 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: why use "the script" you keep mentioning? you're making it too hard | 20:30 |
| frostschutz | cwc, pastebin 'parted unit s print free /dev/sdx' for one of the disks? | 20:30 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: sed -i 's/4.4.4.4/5.5.5.5/g' VPN-config-*.conf | 20:30 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: 1. it's not a .conf file. | 20:30 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: 2. the script does other things. If I wanted to modify them manually, I could have. | 20:30 |

| Xano | k1l_, Weird that even that help window says alt+tab switches between apps, while it really does not and AFAIK also never has | 20:31 |
| k1l_ | Xano: it does | 20:31 |
| frostschutz | cwc, sorry, /dev/sdx comes first | 20:31 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Not really. I can make something that works, but I don't understand why, which is kind of a problem. | 20:31 |
| Xano | k1l_, No, unless you count different instances of the same app as different apps... | 20:31 |
| Xano | k1l_, Example: alt+tab switches between Firefox windows as well, while the windows all belong to the same application | 20:32 |
| k1l_ | Xano: please make a screenshot to show your issue. it is a app switcher and works like that in here. be aware of the 2 levels | 20:32 |
| Xano | k1l_, alt+accent grave *only* switches between app windows, but there is no between-app equivalent, it seems. Anyway, thanks for pointing out the super key! | 20:32 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: the problem is your script and trying to force it do so something a way that breaks it, you want to know why it breaks? Look into network manager. You're making it too complicated. who cares why you can't delete those config files, just find a way to modify them with your script that is simple and effecient then move on | 20:33 |
| xtbman | Alright, I guess I'll remove the 8.8.8.8 and go back to waiting 5 seconds for DNS response instead of 10. | 20:33 |
| Xano | k1l_, It switches between any open window, regardless of what app it belongs to. This means that if you have ten browser windows open, it will also happily switch between those. Ergo, it does not only switch between apps, but between windows as well. This is useful, but not what I was looking for :) | 20:34 |
| hydruid | xtbman: so 8.8.8.8 is taking 8 seconds to response to dns queries? | 20:34 |
| hydruid | */response/respond/g | 20:34 |
| x0011BF | hydruid: Not all of us are interested in kludging things together until they "just work". I'd be interested in knowing why it works the way it does so that I can do other things. | 20:34 |
| xtbman | hydruid sometimes longer | 20:34 |
| x0011BF | It's not really that difficult of a concept to understand. | 20:34 |
| k1l_ | Xano: it does group all windows from one app so it switches apps in first level | 20:34 |
| hydruid | x0011BF: Trust me I understand, but obviously you don't ;) | 20:34 |
| xtbman | I just sat for about 45 seconds waiting for cnn.com to load. At that point, I decided to just click the red x button to stop loading, and then entire page loaded immediately. | 20:35 |
| hydruid | xtbman: what type of internet connection? | 20:35 |
| xtbman | hydruid it's wifi. | 20:35 |
| kevin | hey guys... so, i recently did a apt-get upgrade, and now my mouse cursor doesn't show up in gnome.... any ideas why? | 20:35 |
| kevin | it shows up on the lightdm login screen though | 20:35 |
| xtbman | hydruid default was Automatic (DHCP) | 20:35 |
| hydruid | xtbman: okay wifi, who's wifi is it? What type of internet feeds that wifi? | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | Xano: if a app got more than one window you see dots below the icon and they will spread after you select it for some time (to let you choose the one window= second level) | 20:36 |

| xtbman | hydruid it's a Comcast xfinity internet service. I've been using it for about a year now, and I've never had this problem using any other device. I installed Ubuntu today and started having this issue. | 20:37 |
| Guest9976 | hola | 20:37 |
| Guest9976 | putos | 20:37 |
| hydruid | xtbman: ping your default gateway, something like ping 192.168.0.1 and then compare that to ping 8.8.8.8 | 20:37 |
| xtbman | ok one moment | 20:37 |
| nf7 | Trusty users: About how long is your apt-get update taking? | 20:38 |
| Guest9976 | bitchs | 20:38 |
| Guest9976 | hello | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | nf7: #ubuntu+1 for 14.04 | 20:38 |
| kevin | nm, got it now. | 20:38 |
| * kevin waves | 20:38 | |
| nf7 | k1l_: Thanks | 20:39 |
| xtbman | hydruid ping 8.8.8.8 returns replies at around 30ms. I'm currently researching to find my default gateway. 192.168.0.1 is not it. | 20:41 |
| Darkness_of_Time | hello everybody! I intend to purchase a new desktop computer. does anybody know if ubuntu performs better on Intel processors or the AMD ones? | 20:42 |
| xtbman | hydruid ok, my default gateway is 10.0.0.1, and it returns responses at around 1.5 to 2 ms | 20:42 |
| xtbman | hydruid so 8.8.8.8 is ~30 ms, default gateway is ~2ms | 20:42 |
| hydruid | xtbman: try netstat -rn | 20:42 |
| Baako | is they a way you can you your private key to find what your public key is? | 20:43 |
| hydruid | Darkness_of_Time: it awesomely performs well on both ;) | 20:43 |
| xtbman | hydruid netstat shows the gateway. | 20:43 |
| xtbman | it's 10.0.0.1 | 20:43 |
| hydruid | xtbman: weird...... | 20:44 |
| hydruid | xtbman: what browser? | 20:44 |
| xtbman | chrome and firefox | 20:45 |
| hydruid | xtbman: so using 8.8.8.8 for dns actually makes your browsing slower? | 20:45 |
| xtbman | yeah | 20:45 |
| Darkness_of_Time | hydruid: ok thanks. mostl likely I'm going to buy and AMD one. it is much cheaper. and on more question. do you know if there is ANY issue regarding the type of the motherboard and the vga card? is there anything that I should avoid, or anything that performs much better on linux? | 20:45 |
| hydruid | xtbman: how does does this command take to run: nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8 | 20:45 |
| bekks | xtbman: And which DNS server is used by the default gateway? | 20:45 |
| Bray90820_ | So for the life of me i can't get ubuntu to properly boot | 20:45 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: What exactly happens? | 20:46 |
| Bray90820_ | The screen goes black after grub but I know it is booting because I can hear the startup sound | 20:46 |
| hydruid | Darkness_of_Time: that is super machine specific, linux doesn't always have the best drivers for video cards, but for the most part, Ubuntu will run on almost anything | 20:46 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | Bray90820_ | 20:46 |
| ubottu | Bray90820_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:46 |
| Darkness_of_Time | hydruid: ok thanks again! | 20:46 |
| hydruid | Darkness_of_Time: have fun with your new pc | 20:46 |
| xtbman | hydruid I have to install nslookup. bekks, the default DNS is 75.75.75.75 | 20:47 |
| hydruid | xtbman: what? you don't have nslookup installed/ | 20:47 |
| Darkness_of_Time | hydruid: :) | 20:47 |
| hydruid | lol | 20:47 |
| xtbman | hydruid I don't know, I just typed nslookup and it said nslookup not found | 20:47 |
| wearable_bugger | dns hijaking? | 20:47 |
| Linuxator | is there a Wheezy version of Ubuntu? | 20:47 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: i don't think that's the case because it would sorta work but it would take forever to wake from sleep | 20:47 |
| hydruid | Linuxator: there was but it died from asthasma | 20:48 |
| Bray90820_ | But as of yesterday it won't even wake from sleep | 20:48 |
| === hamid is now known as Guest87632 | ||
| k1l_ | Linuxator: that is a debian release. not a ubuntu one | 20:48 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: Did you try nomodeset? | 20:48 |
| hydruid | Linuxator: I think it's similar to ubuntu 12.04 | 20:48 |
| Linuxator | hydruid: ut's not funny | 20:48 |
| Guest87632 | alicia | 20:49 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: I did not but like i said it doesn't seem very likely | 20:49 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: So just try it then. :) | 20:49 |
| Bray90820_ | But i will try them | 20:49 |
| hydruid | xtbman: also try changing your default gateway's DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then don't specify a DNS server for your pc | 20:50 |
| Linuxator | how ti customize Debuan to look like ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| k1l_ | Linuxator: please ask debian questions in #debian | 20:51 |
| hydruid | Linuxator: just install Ubuntu, you know you want to | 20:51 |
| hydruid | Linuxator: there are other distros that you can use that use the same UI for both | 20:51 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: Since I cant boot how would I set them | 20:52 |

| nf7 | hydruid: Hahah. Fun. | 20:58 |
| hydruid | xtbman: there is your issue, sounds like network issues instead of dns | 20:58 |

| xtbman | No idea why restarting would improve the DNS resolution. | 21:06 |
| xtbman | now it's loading pages immediately. | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Assuming that the command is literally "sublime", you would run "which sublime". Why do you want to know this though? | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | xtbman: Do you have any machines on the same network that are using a static ip rather than DHCP? | 21:08 |
| Baako | Jordan_U i need to give the path to filezilla to open files using sublime | 21:08 |
| xtbman | Jordan_U no, not unless these xfinity tv cable boxes have static IPs | 21:08 |

| Jordan_U | Bray90820_: What steps are you performing at boot, and what do you see instead of a line starting with "linux"? | 21:11 |
| Bray90820_ | when grub loafs i hit E and the closest thing to "linux /boot" is "linux /vmlinuz" | 21:13 |
| Bray90820_ | Jordan_U: | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | Bray90820_: That's the correct line. It's different from that guide because you have a separate /boot/ partition. | 21:14 |
| Bray90820_ | yes | 21:14 |
| Bray90820_ | ok Thanks | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | Bray90820_: You're welcome. | 21:14 |

| freddy57 | pm | 21:17 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: well i correctly did nomodeset but ubuntu is still black | 21:18 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: So which graphics chipset, and which driver do you use? | 21:18 |
| cwc | Jordan_U frostschutz: I figured it out | 21:19 |
| cwc | the installer was putting the biosgrub partition on the raid device | 21:19 |
| cwc | instead of directly on sda/b/etc | 21:20 |
| Baako | where r program files located when you install it using something like? "sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer" | 21:20 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Did you try running "which sublime" like I suggested? | 21:20 |
| Baako | Jordan have you use filezilla before? | 21:20 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: No. | 21:21 |
| Baako | you can run command on filezilla so you need to specif a path to the text editor you want filezilla to you to open a php or any other languange file | 21:21 |
| Baako | you can't* | 21:22 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Did you try running "which sublime" like I suggested? | 21:22 |

| Baako | you can't run command on filezilla so you need to specif a path to the text editor you want filezilla to you to open a php or any other languange file | 21:22 |
| nf7 | Baako: Run "which sublime" in the Terminal, it has nothing to do with FileZilla | 21:22 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: So which graphics chipset, and which driver do you use? | 21:22 |
| nf7 | Baako: "which sublime" will literally tell you the file path of sublime (or whatever program). | 21:23 |
| === kenneth is now known as Guest58195 | ||
| Baako | nf7 if it means i will need to download all the files in my server to read it in sublime which is stupid because i can just tell filezilla to open the file using sublime which means i dont have to download the file | 21:23 |

| Baako | theadmin no you dont | 21:24 |
| nf7 | Baako: Yes you do. | 21:24 |
| Baako | nf7 no you dont | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Please open a terminal, run "which sublime", and tell us the output. | 21:25 |
| nf7 | Baako: How do you think you use a web page in a browser? Your computer downloads it. | 21:25 |
| nf7 | Baako: If you look at something on your computer screen, your computer has downloaded it. That's the physics of it. | 21:25 |
| Baako | nf7 in windows tell filezilla the path to the text editor you like and filezilla will use that text editor everytime you want to read a file in your server | 21:25 |
| TWarrior | no hello? | 21:26 |
| nf7 | Baako: So? Just do that in Ubuntu? I don't see the problem. Jordan is telling you how. | 21:26 |

| Baako | nf7 the default is "gedit" but i want to use a custom program which is sublime | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: If you don't either A: Follow the advice given and run "which sublime" in a terminal and tell us the output or B: Explain why you refuse to do so, I will have to remove you from the channel to avoid wasting helpers' time. | 21:26 |
| nf7 | Baako: I don't know how many times Jordan_U can explain it to you. | 21:27 |
| TWarrior | naaaah | 21:27 |
| Baako | dont matter will ask the php guys | 21:27 |
| nf7 | Good. | 21:27 |
| BigClay93 | I see that you are all busy, but would someone be able to help me out with something real quick? | 21:27 |
| BigClay93 | It is probably considered relatively simple, but I just can't get it | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | BigClay93: Just ask :) If anyone is available to help and can, they will respond. | 21:28 |
| nf7 | BigClay93: Sure, you don't really need to ask, just go ahead with the question | 21:28 |
| BigClay93 | Okay then :) | 21:28 |
| BigClay93 | Oh haha | 21:28 |
| Baako | what i am asking is very simple. when you install a program where is it stored? what is the path to the program folders | 21:28 |
| BigClay93 | Well, is it possible for me to use my external hard drive as a live usb instead of a flash drive? | 21:29 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: This is your last warning. If your next message is not either A or B as stated above, I will remove you from the channel. | 21:29 |
| theadmin | Baako: There's none, it can be anywhere in $PATH. | 21:29 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: well i used the default driver that is installed with ubuntu and the integrated graphics processor on my motherboard | 21:29 |
| Baako | Jordan_U why? because i ask for the path to the program files | 21:29 |
| BigClay93 | I tried to use Universal USB or whatever, but I just still can't get it right. | 21:29 |
| theadmin | Baako: The which command will tell you where exactly. Linux doesn't have "Program Files". | 21:29 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: NAME the driver and NAME the exact chipset. | 21:29 |
| Baako | theadmin alright thanks | 21:30 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: "the default" and "builtin" may resolve to more than a hundred combinations. | 21:30 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Because you are refusing to follow the advice given to you. We can't help you if you don't follow our advice. | 21:30 |
| Baako | theadmin much better explaination | 21:30 |
| TWarrior | nah | 21:30 |
| Baako | Jordan_U i ask a questions all you had to say was what theadmin just told me | 21:30 |
| Bashing-om | Bray90820_: Terminal command -> sudo lshw -C display <- for some relevant info. | 21:31 |
| Baako | Jordan_U i know in terminal if you type in the name of the program it will open it for you | 21:31 |
| Bray90820_ | Bashing-om: I can't boot correctly so i can't open a terminal | 21:31 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: *Please*, just run "which sublime" and you will see that it outputs the answer to your question. That is why we were asking you to run it. | 21:32 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: Well. So which graphics chipset do you have then? You bought it, you should know it. | 21:32 |
| Bashing-om | Bray90820_: Umph ... liveDVD on hand for troubleshhoting ? | 21:32 |
| === server_ is now known as webkitoserver | ||
| Bray90820_ | bekks the one that is integrated with the Z87-A Motherboard | 21:33 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: Then find it out and name it. | 21:33 |
| TWarrior | naaaaaaah | 21:33 |
| Xeph | BigClay93: it should be fine to use an external hdd instead of a flash drive in general, but keep in mind that your data as well as the partition table will be overwritten | 21:35 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: the website doesn't say | 21:35 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: It clearly does. The mainboard has no own chipset but uses the CPU integrated chipset. | 21:36 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: what do you mean | 21:36 |
| Baako | Jordan_U its weird it doesnt tell me where it is. but if i do a search for it i can see it | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: What is the output of "which sublime", when run normally from a terminal? | 21:36 |
| Baako | Jordan_U nothing | 21:37 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Thank you. Then the command to start sublime must be something slightly different. | 21:37 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: that your CPU (socket LGA1155) has an integrated graphics chipset which is then used by the mainboard to display something using the display port (not to mix up with DisplayPort) on your mainboard. | 21:37 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: So the interesting fact is - which excat make and model is your CPU? | 21:37 |
| Bray90820_ | Yes | 21:37 |
| nf7 | Jordan_U: It might be sublime-text-2 or something | 21:38 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: the box for the processor says intel hd graphics 4600 | 21:39 |
| Bray90820_ | The processor is i5-4570 | 21:39 |
| TJ- | Bray90820_: In order to get some sort of control, I'd recommend you reboot, goto the GRUB boot menu (holding Shift), edit the Ubuntu entry by locating the line "linux ..." and altering it to remove "quiet splash" and add "debug text" - that *should* get you a text terminal log-in without starting the GUI, which then gives you a change to run diagnostics and alter settings. | 21:40 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: i5-4570/R/RT/T/TE/S? | 21:40 |
| Baako | Jordan_U indeed its odd | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Please start sublime howver you normally start it then run "ps aux | grep sublime | grep -v grep" and pastebin the output. That should tell us what sublime is actually called. | 21:40 |
| theadmin | Jordan_U: Just so you know: "pgrep -l sublime", much easier to search for processes this way | 21:42 |

| Bray90820_ | bekks: I think it's s the box says S-spec | 21:44 |
| TJ- | SASDOE: check the log files | 21:44 |
| Baako | Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/EK0x7Bhy | 21:44 |
| Jordan_U | SASDOE: What error do you get when trying to start a new connection? Please pastebin the output of "service ssh status". | 21:44 |
| axizor | Jeruvy the switch is connected to the router yes | 21:45 |
| axizor | But the media server is on the router too, not the switch | 21:45 |
| theadmin | Baako: /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text is where it's located. | 21:45 |
| SASDOE | Failed password for invalid user maxime from 192.168.1.10 port 41185 ssh2 | 21:45 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: the model number is SR14E | 21:45 |
| SASDOE | in log/auth | 21:45 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Great. So the path is /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text, which should also be returned by "which sublime_text". | 21:45 |
| SASDOE | and status said running | 21:45 |
| axizor | However the switch is properly setup and the PS3 is on the same dhcp server as the media server | 21:45 |
| theadmin | Jordan_U: (given that /opt/sublime_text is in $PATH, which it has no reason to be imo) | 21:46 |
| Jeruvy | axizor can you verify the dhcp exchanges on the router? | 21:46 |
| axizor | Let me just double check | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | theadmin: I would expect the package to add it as part of postinst. | 21:46 |
| SASDOE | Jordan_U: and error message is default permission denied | 21:46 |
| bekks | Bray90820_: Either it is a i4570 because of the SR14E or it is a i5-4570S as you stated. | 21:46 |
| SASDOE | ssh -v shows usual failures as well | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | SASDOE: Not "connection refused"? | 21:46 |
| theadmin | Jordan_U: Hm, normally /opt stuff doesn't get added to $PATH, instead symlinks in /usr/bin are made | 21:46 |
| theadmin | Jordan_U: Then again, I don't use that many packages which actually install to /opt | 21:47 |
| SASDOE | Jordan_U: no "Permission denied (publickey,password)." | 21:47 |
| axizor | Yes jeruvy all good | 21:47 |
| Baako | Jordan_U thanks but the command to open it still doesnt open it | 21:47 |
| Jeruvy | axizor assuming you have a a dumb switch it should just work, also assuming there isn't anything on the switch that might conflct. If the switch is managed then you'd need to check the settings on the switch. | 21:47 |
| TJ- | SASDOE: So, is user "maxime" permitted to connect from the host 192.168.1.10 ? | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | theadmin: However it's done, I would expect the package to make the command available in $PATH. If which returned /usr/bin/sublime_text that would work as a path as well. | 21:48 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: Or it could also be an R Because it also says Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-4570 | 21:48 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Does "sublime_text /path/to/file.txt" open said text file? That's probably the type of command filezilla will try to use. | 21:48 |
| axizor | Jeruvy, what settings? And no, just one other normal windows workstation on one of the other switch ports | 21:48 |
| Baako | Jordan_U yes | 21:49 |
| SASDOE | Ok I found it.. I did a bad chsh command and screwed connections therefore. Not easy to spot. I guess the mistake was stupid. Thanks for your help guys. | 21:49 |
| Jeruvy | axizor does the ps3 get an ip? | 21:49 |
| axizor | Yes jeruvy it has no problem with that | 21:50 |
| Micky | Hi there! | 21:50 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: lets assume i5-4500 because that's what it says on the front | 21:50 |
| Jeruvy | axizor ok thats all the simple stuff, now we need specific details. Oh one more...are you using the same cable for both tests? | 21:51 |
| TJ- | Baako: Try "which subl; which sublime-text" | 21:51 |
| axizor | Jeruvy: no, but I have strong faith in this cable :) | 21:52 |
| Jeruvy | axizor :) | 21:53 |
| TJ- | axizor: 1) Is it a managed or unmanaged switch? 2) Are you using VLAN tagging? | 21:53 |
| axizor | It's a basic dumb switch I followed using these instructions: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Switch | 21:54 |
| kenneth__ | How do I get sound to work? | 21:54 |
| axizor | Tbh I don't know too much about networking | 21:54 |
| Micky | is it possible to turn off to see who logs in and out? | 21:54 |
| Beldar | Micky, look in the preferences of your irc app | 21:55 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: where should I go from here | 21:55 |
| Jeruvy | axizor you can try and default the switch. Do you know what kind it is? | 21:55 |
| Micky | cant find the respective command there | 21:56 |
| TJ- | axisys: 1) Other than the media devices can the PS3 connect to other local or Internet resources? 2) Does DDWRT list the MAC address and IP of the PS3 in its Admin pages on the web interface? | 21:56 |
| axizor | Jeruvy: what kind of switch? Hw wise? | 21:56 |
| axizor | TJ- 1.yes | 21:57 |
| axizor | I'll check on 2. | 21:57 |
| Beldar | Micky, What app are you using, and preface answers to others with their nick. | 21:57 |
| Micky | freenode | 21:57 |
| Micky | ok | 21:57 |
| Jeruvy | axizor the switch you have a ps3 and workstation plugged into. | 21:57 |
| TJ- | axisys: Great! (1) means there's no network connectivity issues, but the issue is more of a 'service discovery' issue. | 21:57 |
| sigint88 | join #ardupilot | 21:57 |
| sigint88 | oops | 21:57 |
| TJ- | axizor: Great! (1) means there's no network connectivity issues, but the issue is more of a 'service discovery' issue. | 21:57 |
| Beldar | Micky, freenode is the network, how are you getting their? With an app off the net? | 21:58 |
| Micky | Beldar, the net | 21:58 |
| TJ- | axizor: So now I'd ask, are the media services connected via wire or wireless to the DDWRT ? | 21:58 |
| axizor | Not connected at all to ddwrt | 21:58 |
| axizor | Connected to main router | 21:58 |
| Jeruvy | what is ddwrt running on? | 21:59 |
| axizor | Wired of course :) | 21:59 |
| axizor | V24 | 21:59 |
| axizor | Some pre-final version | 21:59 |
| axizor | It was the latest my router supported | 21:59 |
| Jeruvy | what hardware? | 21:59 |
| axizor | Netgear wrn2000v3 | 21:59 |
| TJ- | axizor: Sorry, I misunderstood your mention of DDWRT ... so you've got the following topology? Internet <---> "Main router" <--> "router with DDWRT" <---> PS3 | 21:59 |
| axizor | Yes TJ- is that an issue | 22:00 |
| Jeruvy | axizor ah. | 22:00 |
| Jeruvy | No switch then. | 22:00 |
| Beldar | Micky, There may be no preference than, might be easier to use an app, there are a handful in the ubuntu repos. | 22:00 |
| axizor | :( | 22:00 |
| axizor | That's a problem then | 22:00 |
| SASDOE | Mhhh how come I can't update openssl? I did update and upgrade and it stays at 1.0.1 | 22:00 |
| axizor | Damn I just got done wiring half my house | 22:00 |
| === quem_ is now known as quem | ||
| SASDOE | And I think we all know that's not good | 22:01 |
| TJ- | axizor: OK... how is the "router with DDWRT" connected to "Main router" ? Specially, have you connected the DDWRT's "WAN" port to the "Main router"? If so, DDWRT will be firewalling/NATing the connections. If instead, you connect to one of the free LAN ports on the DDWRT it will work. | 22:01 |
| Jeruvy | You need to work with RIP to make that work, it would perform better to either disable the routing function on the second one, or eliminate it. | 22:01 |
| Jeruvy | axizor ^ | 22:01 |
| axizor | Yes TJ- but the wan port is setup as a switch port | 22:01 |
| Alue | Hi, I am Alue. please help me to partition the disc. | 22:01 |
| TJ- | axizor: OK, but firewall/NAT may still be interfering. If there's a spare LAN port on the LAN switch of the DDWRT try using it | 22:02 |
| Jordan_U | Baako: Let's see what command filezilla is running when it tries to use an external editor. Please create a file with these contents: http://sprunge.us/ZOiS and make it executable with "chmod +x /path/to/file". Then tell filezilla to use this file to open text files, try opening a file, then tell us what "cat /tmp/what_filezilla_ran.txt" outputs. | 22:02 |
| axizor | Also I'm in ddwrt right now and the switch lists no clients | 22:02 |
| axizor | Is it because it's not on it's IP address range | 22:02 |
| SASDOE | Also I get this when I run apt-get upgrade http://bpaste.net/show/VBH2AXFdIYmX3YfoFT1Q/ | 22:02 |
| Alue | I use Ubuntu 12.04 | 22:02 |
| axizor | Ok TJ- I'll give it a shot thanks! | 22:02 |
| TJ- | axizor: Default configuration of DDWRT (and other home routers) is to bridge all the LAN ports together as one, but usually 'route' to other ports such as WAN | 22:03 |
| axizor | TJ- would it be ok to enable upnp in ddwrt switch page | 22:05 |
| axizor | For some reason the ps3 said off when it was disabled in the switch (it's enabled in "main router" ) | 22:05 |
| axizor | Upnp that is | 22:06 |
| TJ- | axizor: That would only be useful if you were using DDWRT as a gateway router, but you're not, so no. I'd disable almost every service on the DDWRT device if all you want to use it for is a glorified LAN switch | 22:06 |
| Alue | hey please help me out. | 22:06 |
| SASDOE | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/openssl says openssl for 12.04 is at 1.0.1-4, why won't mine upgrade? | 22:07 |
| Bray90820_ | bekks: where should i go from here | 22:07 |
| TJ- | axizor: It sounds to me as if you've got a jumbled network topology... Is there any reason why the PS3 needs to connect to the DDWRT? | 22:07 |
| Alue | hey is anyone there??? please help me out guys!! | 22:08 |
| axizor | TJ- yes, sadly. All my other ports are required and taken on the main router | 22:08 |
| Bashing-om | SASDOE: Terminal code -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- and for the other see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215886 . | 22:08 |
| TJ- | axizor: OK, so the purpose of the DDWRT device is really to be a dumb switch | 22:08 |
| axizor | Yes TJ- exactly | 22:08 |

| booney907 | Hi everyone, i have a problem with auto mount for a usb drive, my system changes the mount path whenever it wants, ie it adds a number to the end, used to have no number, then it had a 1 at the end, now it has a 2, how do i stop this? | 22:09 |
| TJ- | axizor: In which case have the absolute minimum services enabled on it (no DNS, no DHCP, no Firewall) and ensure the ports you're using as switch ports are all part of the same 'bridge' interface | 22:09 |

| kostkon | cornfeedhobo, 3.2, 3.5, or 3.11 depends of the installation date | 22:10 |
| kostkon | on* | 22:10 |
| Bashing-om | cornfeedhobo: That is relative --do you have Hardware enablement stack enabled ? | 22:10 |
| axizor | Yeah the PC is not getting an ip | 22:11 |
| axizor | I'll try resetting I suppose | 22:11 |
| Alue | hey?????? | 22:11 |
| TJ- | axizor: That sounds like the DDWRT *was* being used as a router, and its DHCP was handing out the addresses. | 22:11 |
| axizor | DHCP was disabled | 22:11 |
| axizor | I checked the ps3 and main router to ensure it was on the right up | 22:12 |
| TJ- | axizor: hmmm, without seeing the network hands-on I'm finding it difficult to visual the configuration that would cause this | 22:13 |
| axizor | Want me to mock up a map? | 22:13 |
| tarnap | i have one specific question on ubuntu server 12.04 LTS: why is there a “wireless-tools” script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ ? do servers really have wireless cards? my “server” is running on a virtual machine, i should be able to delete this script without corrupting the system, right? | 22:14 |
| TJ- | axizor: No, it's not the topology its the precise combination of device/service configurations I'm finding it hard to deduce, from your descriptions | 22:14 |
| axizor | Ah, ok TJ | 22:14 |
| axizor | The media server is just Plex | 22:14 |
| axizor | So it would be over DLNA on the ps3 | 22:14 |
| Jordan_U | tarnap: I have a server that's connected via wireless. It happens to be at my house, and not particularly critical, but it's a server. Is there a reason you want to delete the file? | 22:15 |
| === Zeus is now known as Guest82984 | ||
| === Guest82984 is now known as Kwiirk | ||
| cornfeedhobo | Bashing-om: what? | 22:15 |
| TJ- | axizor: I've used DDWRT on a Linksys WRT54GL in the configuration you're aiming for without problems, in the past, so I have to assume that some combination of the configuration options or connections, or both, is causing your difficulties | 22:16 |
| tarnap | Jordan_U: ok, apparently there are reasons for wireless servers. well… yes, i know “the hardware” has no wireless module, therefore this script doesn’t have to be run at startup | 22:17 |
| Bashing-om | cornfeedhobo: If HES is enabled one may have the kernel from oneric, quantal. or raring releases. | 22:17 |
| tarnap | i could “chmod -x” it, but my question is rather… does the system depend on it? will it break the system for some black magical reasons? | 22:17 |
| keevitaja | hi, i got a wierd question. will ubuntu get slower in time, as windows does? like when i have clean install windows, it is pretty fast. but with time, it get slower untill the next fresh install. is it same with ubuntu? | 22:18 |
| TJ- | tarnap: You could just do "sudo apt-get remove wireless-tools" | 22:18 |
| Bashing-om | cornfeedhobo: see: -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:18 |
| OerHeks | keevitaja, only if you run out of diskspace. | 22:18 |
| tarnap | TJ-: so that’s part of wireless tools! thx | 22:19 |
| keevitaja | i will not, 300 gb should be enaugh | 22:19 |
| Jordan_U | tarnap: For future reference, "dpkg -S /path/to/file" is a handy command :) | 22:19 |
| TJ- | tarnap: To discover the package a file belongs to you can do "dpkg-query -S <partial-filename>" | 22:19 |
| tarnap | thx! | 22:19 |
| tarnap | i didn’t know dpkg did that | 22:20 |
| OerHeks | keevitaja, and if your system 's slowing down" open terminal: top # this gives your system state and zombie processes | 22:20 |

| TJ- | axizor: I've used DDWRT on a Linksys WRT54GL in the configuration you're aiming for without problems, in the past, so I have to assume that some combination of the configuration options or connections, or both, is causing your difficulties | 22:21 |
| bprompt | keevitaja: more like PEBKAC as I understand it, the OS itself doesn't get slower.... I mean, is like buying a new car, it's fast, but if you start throwing in all kind of junk in it often, it gets slow, though the engine is running the same, is just the extra junk, I run windows7 and still runs fast, same with linux | 22:21 |
| nf7 | keevitaja: Windows is the only OS I've ever used that suffers from that sort of speed degradation over time, though not if you know how to avoid it. Linux and OSX take considerably less effort to keep in tip top shape in my experience. | 22:22 |
| axizor | Alright TJ-, thanks I'll keep working on it | 22:22 |
| keevitaja | i do not install much junk and i allways uninstall programs i do not need anymore | 22:22 |
| keevitaja | and currently ubuntu is way faster then any clean windows installs i have had | 22:23 |

| meway_ | soooooo what in the actual f**$ ... I popped in my live disk and my wifi now works on the install.. What happend? why is this doing this? | 22:23 |
| SASDOE | Bashing-om: running an apt-get dist-upgrade that is | 22:23 |
| keevitaja | otherwise it's cool. i only need 2 windows programs which are working with wine as well | 22:24 |
| Baako | what does chmod 700 do? | 22:24 |
| meway_ | Like popping in the disk fixed the issue but I'd like to know what the issue was... | 22:24 |
| booney907 | is there a way to stop the automount assigning a different number to the end of my ext hdd? example the mount location was ExtShed and then it changed to ExtShed1 now ExtShed2, there's no additional drives and it means i have to keep changing apps to point to different locations, i'd rather it stayed as one mount point | 22:24 |
| nf7 | keevitaja: What version of Windows were you on? | 22:24 |
| keevitaja | win7 | 22:24 |
| SASDOE | Baako: grants user all rights and no rights to group or others to selected file | 22:24 |
| bprompt | keevitaja: well, the uninstalls in windows don't quite remove everything often times, that's also true for some packages in *nix though the *Inix removals do a better job than the windows ones | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | SASDOE: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" doesn't upgrade you to a new verison of Ubuntu. It just allows apt to remove packages if needed to install newer versions of existing packages. | 22:24 |
| Bashing-om | SASDOE: Nope, 'dist-upgrade' uses apt-get's smart mode to resolve that kerenel dependency, will not version upgrade. | 22:24 |
| SASDOE | Ok sweet thank you | 22:25 |

| keevitaja | do i have to pay for it extra? | 22:32 |
| nf7 | keevitaja: Almost assuredly. It's Microsoft! | 22:33 |
| Bashing-om | cornfeedhobo: Roger that, -- just my bit to try and help. | 22:33 |
| nf7 | keevitaja: But I don't know, I'm just guessing. | 22:33 |

| nf7 | keevitaja: The shortcut can also be configured there. | 22:37 |
| Scitz0 | the thing is that I have a special character in my passphrase so I think it has something to do with locale | 22:37 |

| JohnT | anyone? | 22:47 |
| dioioib | what is the question | 22:48 |
| JohnT | I have activity on the bottom bar of volume control. What do I need to actually get sound out of the speakers? | 22:48 |
| dioioib | JohnT: what are you asking? | 22:48 |
| dioioib | ok | 22:48 |
| dioioib | so you are getting no sound at all? | 22:49 |
| JohnT | not one bit. | 22:49 |
| JohnT | but if i play a continous sound video i get status activity of the sounds. | 22:49 |
| JohnT | (in graphics form) | 22:49 |
| dioioib | have you installed the alsa drivers | 22:49 |
| JohnT | yes | 22:49 |
| dioioib | ok. | 22:49 |
| JohnT | alsamixer | 22:49 |
| dioioib | one sec | 22:49 |

| XmoochyX | hello all | 22:50 |
| SASDOE | elijahlynn: no it's needed. It's sort of like if minutes % nb == 0 | 22:50 |
| dioioib | ok check that your speakers are connected to PC. Check that they have power. if they don't have power try turning the on switch off. | 22:50 |

| Micky | Hi, so I have same basic questions (I am relatively new to Linux)... Does anyone know whether Lubuntu has the same repo server as Ubuntu? | 22:52 |
| dioioib | JohnT: when you load alsamixer is there a sound device listed? | 22:52 |
| teaearlgraycold | TJ-: I figured out destructors today. Had that "aha" moment. | 22:53 |
| Micky | ...And do I get secuirty updates for Lubuntu as fast as for Ubuntu? | 22:53 |
| nf7 | keevitaja: I'm not sure. It's a bit of a hassle to configure mice. I'm actually using a MS mouse right now, but it doesn't feel nearly as good on Ubuntu. You'll have to ask someone else I'm afraid. | 22:53 |
| dioioib | also try this in terminal $ pacmd | 22:54 |
| JohnT | yes | 22:54 |
| JohnT | i followed the just about the whole ubuntu doc page for audio. | 22:54 |
| dioioib | ok. so you did the trouble shooting doc? | 22:55 |
| dioioib | did you try playing an audio file as sudo? | 22:55 |
| bprompt | Micky: I run kubuntu, pretty much the same repository | 22:55 |
| dioioib | or try sudo alsa force-reload | 22:55 |
| bprompt | Micky: you can simply just check your sources /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:56 |
| JohnT | yes | 22:56 |
| JohnT | yes | 22:56 |
| SASDOE | Will it cause any problems that I updated my grub with an external drive mounted? | 22:56 |
| SASDOE | Knowing that it had a bootable partition etc. | 22:57 |
| bprompt | SASDOE: FROM an external drive, or just WITH an external drive mounted? | 22:57 |
| SASDOE | No WITH not from | 22:57 |
| dioioib | JohnT: ok. and just to humor me can you check to make sure it is in the right port? | 22:57 |
| SASDOE | grub mentionned it while updating | 22:57 |
| dioioib | and or try the front facing ports if you have them | 22:57 |
| SASDOE | http://bpaste.net/show/GIsf9eH1wC0M8RQZOir1/ | 22:58 |
| Scitz0 | idimmu: I can decrypt other encrypted volumes that doesn't contain special chars, just the one with a ö in the passphrase that fails | 22:58 |
| bprompt | SASDOE: it may include in the grub.cfg... then again, you can just unplug it, and run sudo update-grub again | 22:58 |
| TJ- | SASDOE: It's possible that the "/etc/grub.d/" scripts will have os-probed the mounted device, and included its bootable OSes in the new grub.cfg | 22:58 |
| SASDOE | But will grub fail without it? | 22:58 |
| JohnT | great now my videos pause for no reason | 22:58 |
| ubuntu | hello everyone | 22:58 |
| JohnT | dioioib: yes it is | 22:58 |
| SASDOE | Yeah I'll just run a grub-update. But out of curiousity would it have? | 22:58 |
| JohnT | light green | 22:58 |
| bprompt | SASDOE: nope, you'd just have a "zombie" entry in the grub menu | 22:58 |
| TJ- | SASDOE: You can disable the os-prober by adding "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" to "/etc/default/grub" | 22:58 |

| vardle | I am formatting my system to reinstall ubuntu and facing graphics issues which is second in line | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | Scitz0: There are multiple ways to represent an umlout in utf8. I don't know if passphrases are canonicallized normally, but if not then that might be the problem. | 22:59 |
| dioioib | JohnT: can you run $ cat /dev/urandom | aplay | 23:00 |
| SASDOE | Oh but wait dist-updgrade then update and upgrade didn't bring openssl to 1.0.1-4 ... | 23:00 |

| JohnT | dioioib: i hear nothing, but no errors. | 23:00 |
| TJ- | teaearlgraycold: That's great :) (sorry I missed your comment initially) | 23:01 |
| dioioib | ok. | 23:01 |
| Scitz0 | Jordan_U: ok, any suggestion on how to proceed? | 23:01 |
| vardle | first is a huge problem and that is from the usb ubuntu I see 4 different sizes of the same folder !!. nautilus tells me ( contents unreadable) but content size as 7.3 gb but 13.6 gb is 'used' . I tried using ncdu and that tells me 8.7 GiB and 9.2 GiB respective . My head is spinning . | 23:01 |
| JohnT | dioioib: aplay: pcm_write:1939: write error: Input/output error | 23:02 |
| teaearlgraycold | I got to thinking about destructors when I decided I'd like to create an IRC bot in C++. When thinking about how to keep connections cleanly disconnected I would just close the socket in the destructor. | 23:02 |
| Micky | bprompt: thanks, I havent installed lubuntu yet. Basically I am looking for a secure distribution that is fast because I want to install it on a laptop with a VM on it... | 23:02 |
| dioioib | ok. sounds like it might not be directed to the right hardware device. | 23:02 |
| Bashing-om | SASDOE: openssal version will rmain the same, but the patch will be installed, see the link I provided earlier. | 23:02 |
| teaearlgraycold | And that the destructor is simply a block of code that's ran upon the destuction of a block of code. | 23:02 |
| dioioib | can you do an $ lshw and look for the id of the audio device | 23:02 |
| SASDOE | Bashing-om: just realised that by running apt-cache policy openssl libssl-dev | 23:03 |
| JohnT | yes, i'm not using my on board one and that has been disabled in bios. | 23:03 |
| SASDOE | Thanks | 23:03 |
| vardle | bprompt, any idea ? | 23:03 |
| dioioib | ah ok. is it usb? | 23:03 |
| JohnT | nope pci | 23:03 |
| dioioib | ok. lspci should show us. | 23:03 |

| dioioib | is there a hardware id. like PCI:#:# | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | Scitz0: Try both 'ö' and 'ö' (Pre-composed vs o + combining diaeresis). | 23:04 |

| JohnT | dioioib: thats all i can see, all the other rows are non related. | 23:05 |
| barrett | i cant close it since xbmc in uxlaunch has no window boarders | 23:05 |
| k4r1m | umount is telling me a drive his not mounted and mount is saying it's already mounted. I initially unmounted using -f. Any suggestions? | 23:06 |

| Jordan_U | Scitz0: There are (at least) two ways of writing that character in utf8. One way is with the two byte sequece for that specific character, 0xc3b6, and another is with the one byte for 'o', ox6f plus the two byte sequence for "Add two dots to the preceding character", 0x308, for a complete three byte sequence of 0x6f0308 . | 23:17 |

| Baako | anyone know why filezilla doesnt reconized the format of the private key generate using ssh keygen? | 23:22 |
| bprompt | vardle: ..... hmmm if I read your screenshot correcly.... it says 7.3Gbs in folder "home" subfolder of "media", thus /media/home, , "disk where media folder is at" has a capacity of 29.6Gbs, 16Gb free, and 13.6 used | 23:22 |
| Scitz0 | Jordan_U, can't find xdd in my system... apt-get didnt find it either | 23:23 |

| dioioib | hillary: ps -A | 23:23 |
| Scitz0 | ahh :) | 23:23 |
| vardle | bprompt, okay but my question about nautilus is why is it 7.3 gbs and not 13.6 ? | 23:24 |
| bprompt | hillary: try installing "qps" maybe | 23:24 |
| vardle | that is a huge gap | 23:24 |
| hillary | i mean which terminal command can i use to check running processes in ubuntu 12.04 | 23:24 |
| bprompt | hillary: top | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | Scitz0: There are also many Ubuntu channels for other languages, like #ubuntu-de for german. They might be more familiar with common caveats of non-ascii characters in passphrases. That is assuming that you speak such a language fluently so that you can ask and understand the answers given in such channels :) | 23:25 |
| vardle | hillary, system monitor is an alredy installed program and tells you all those processes. can try the windows key > type system > clik on system monitor > go to processes | 23:25 |
| bprompt | hillary: or qps for GUI -> http://wood1978.dyndns.org/~wood/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Qps.png | 23:25 |
| vardle | hillary, ps ax | 23:25 |
| dioioib | yeah top would work | 23:25 |
| vardle | or top sure . | 23:26 |
| Scitz0 | ok, I'm from Sweden and I don't speak german very well | 23:26 |
| vardle | bprompt, so why the huge diff ? 7.3 vs 13 | 23:26 |
| Scitz0 | how do I use this xxd utility | 23:26 |
| bprompt | vardle: the screenshot means... 7.3Gbs used by /media/home folder alone, 13Gbs are used, so from all 13Gbs used in that device, /media/home is taking up 7.3Gbs | 23:28 |
| vardle | bprompt, so you mean /media is using 13 gigs ? | 23:29 |
| bprompt | vardle: /media/home the listing in the window is a bit ..... shown as ..... home folder, whose parent folder is /media | 23:30 |
| === Thorium220 is now known as Thor|Away | ||
| bprompt | vardle: so /media/home is taking up 50% of lthe 13.6Gbs used in the device with 29.6Gbs capacity | 23:30 |
| bprompt | well.... about 50% a bit less | 23:31 |
| vardle | bprompt, do you mean that if I choose all folders inside /media/home/ and do a 'properties' on it , it should not give me 13. 6 gb ? | 23:31 |
| bprompt | vardle: it'll show the 13.6 on all, since that's the amount for the device, not the folder, the amount used in that device where that folder is at | 23:32 |
| vardle | bprompt, my question is 'what' files are taking up the 13.6 - 7 = 5.6 gb and where are they ? | 23:32 |

| vardle | bprompt, I want to find out what files are taking the 5 gigs on the device. how do I find that out ? I never knew this would be so difficult to understand !! | 23:34 |
| JohnT | yes, works fine now under firefox. it's something in alsa-base. | 23:34 |

| JohnT | no sounds still. | 23:34 |
| dioioib | johnT: and you are getting audio too? | 23:34 |
| bprompt | vardle: assuming /media/home is some mounted filesystem , thus a device itself.... where are the other 5.6Gbs.... hmmmm maybe hidden files/folders | 23:34 |
| JohnT | i also enabled my internel sound card. | 23:34 |

| vardle | bprompt, thanks. and I got the solution :) | 23:39 |
| vardle | I tried sudo ncdu and that too gave me like 11.1 which is better coz 7.3 was weird | 23:40 |
| dioioib | JohnT: nvidia sound you would need to check your /proc/asound/cards using $ sudo cat /proc/asound/cards | 23:40 |
| dioioib | see if it is listed | 23:40 |
| vardle | SASDOE, question : why does sudo ncdu , sudo df -h | .... , and sudo nautilus give me different sizes for the same folder ? | 23:40 |

| apb1963 | So I was able to get my USB headset working... anyone interested in how I did it? | 23:55 |
| apb1963 | Here was my original question: | 23:56 |
| apb1963 | 12.04... I have a USB speakerphone... | 23:56 |
| apb1963 | alsa -l lists it as "card 1: Set [C-Media USB Headphone Set], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]". I get no sound out of it (nor does the mic. seem to work). It's a Kinyo ArtDio "True USB VoIP Speaker" model SS-100/SS-100B | 23:56 |
